Unmanned Ground Vehicles in Agriculture: State of Art and Future Perspectives of the Safety Performance Regulation
No full textRobotic and automated applications have recently become a significant concern in agriculture. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of existing regulation in Europe for agricultural unmanned ground vehicles (UGV) and evaluate contemporary testing procedures that define the level of safety performance of UGVs. For the first time in Europe, a legal act, the European Regulation 1230/2023, includes “autonomous mobile machinery”. This term refers to mobile machinery capable of operating in an autonomous mode, ensuring all essential safety functions within its travel and working area without the permanent interaction of an operator. Consequently, the regulation anticipates requirements related to automation and robotics, including machine learning and artificial intelligence. The standard EN ISO 18497:2024 specifies principles for the design of partially automated, semi-autonomous and autonomous machinery for agricultural field operations. While countries have drafted testing protocols for UGVs to assess field and safety performance, an internationally recognized certification process is still lacking. Notable test protocols include the Japanese “Main Test Methods and Criteria related to Autonomous Agri-machinery,” which covers equipment such as tractors and rice transplanters, and the French Agricultural Robot Performance Assessment (ARPA) project. These protocols developed in Japan and France serve as a valuable starting point for conducting tests and comparing results

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods

The Right to Strike under the United States Constitution: Theory, Practice, and Possible Implications for Canada
No full textAnswering critics of the Canadian Supreme Court's judgment in B.C. Health, the author argues that the Court laid the foundation for a principled and durable doctrine protecting constitutional labour rights, one that goes directly to the heart of the matter — the inequality of workers’ power in the employment relation. In the author’s view, two paths could lead from B.C. Health to the recognition of Charter protec- tion for a right to strike: one that treats the right as an accessory to col- lective bargaining, and one that upholds the right directly on the basis of the Charter values of equality and participation. The author supports the latter approach, contending that constitutional rights should be defined in relation to fundamental values, in a way that is not contingent on time-bound or fact-sensitive assessments about the role of strikes within a particular collective bargaining regime. Although a Charter right to strike may involve the courts in difficult choices about when to defer to legislative policy decisions, and courts may lack the institutional capac- ity to deal effectively with labour law issues, the author points out that judges can look to ILO standards for expert guidance. Noting that the U.S. experience in this area might be of considerable use to Canadians, the author concludes by providing an overview of American case law concerning a constitutional right to strike.Peer reviewe
