Hybrid cloud environments—spanning on-premises systems and public cloud services—introduce complexity in data integration, consistency, and governance. Enterprises pursuing modernization must deliver real-time data to both operational applications and analytical platforms without sacrificing reliability or compliance. This article presents an end-to-end architecture for low-latency, fault-tolerant integration using change data capture technologies, streaming backbones, and GCP-native processing and serving. Source capture strategies minimize disruption by reading database logs and applying in-flight transformation, filtering, enrichment, and routing logic in streaming applications. Transport patterns connect on-premises and cloud messaging systems using connectors or custom relays, taking into account how to split data for efficiency, maintain order for consistency, set rules for data storage and replay, and ensure Processing uses cloud-based stream processing with features that manage event timing, group data into windows, and remove duplicates, while schema registries and compatibility rules protect users from changes. Serving combines multiple database technologies for near-real-time analytics, globally consistent transactions, and high-performance relational needs. Operational excellence manifests through observability with standardized dashboards for lag, throughput, error taxonomies, dead-letter queues, and replay windows, along with alerting for schema drift and automated runbooks for recovery. Reliability design includes checkpointing, idempotent sink writes, backpressure controls, and rolling upgrades to ensure continuity during maintenance. A multi-domain case study demonstrates batch windows collapsing from tens of minutes to seconds, enabling fresher dashboards and real-time downstream decisions. The findings demonstrate that real-time integration transcends mere transport problems, representing a holistic architectural and operational capability requiring governance, standards, and disciplined execution. This architecture and set of practices equip enterprises to accelerate modernization, minimize risk, and deliver reliable real-time data products across hybrid landscapes, turning integration from a bottleneck into a strategic advantage.

Демографічні виклики та структурні дисбаланси солідарної пенсійної системи України актуалізують потребу розвитку альтернативних ме- ханізмів пенсійного забезпечення населення. Недержавне пенсійне страхування як складова багаторівневої пенсійної архітектури потребує концептуального переосмислення та модернізації за європейськими стандартами та національними особливостями. Метою дослідження є ідентифікація ключових векторів трансформації системи недержавного пенсійного страхування України та розробка механізмів її оптимізації в аспекті забезпечення довготривалої фінансової стабільності та соціальної захищеності громадян. Дослідження базується на комплексному підході, що поєднує порівняльний аналіз світового досвіду, статистичний аналіз динаміки розвитку вітчизняного ринку й експертне оцінюван- ня регуляторних ініціатив. Визначено пріоритетні напрямки удосконалення, серед яких: гнучкі моделі накопичувального страхування, диверси- фікація інвестиційних інструментів пенсійних фондів із позиції ризик-менеджменту, підвищення транспарентності учасників ринку, посилення корпоративного сегмента шляхом створення стимулюючих фіскальних механізмів і цифровізація адміністрування. Обґрунтовано необхідність гармонізації національного законодавства із директивами Євросоюзу щодо пенсійного забезпечення та впровадження системи гарантування внесків. Встановлено, що системна модернізація недержавного пенсійного страхування вимагає синхронізації інституційних, регуляторних і фіскальних реформ, чим буде забезпечене формування конкурентоспроможного сегмента фінансового ринку та сприятиме зростанню довіри населення до недержавних пенсійних програм як надійного інструмента забезпечення гідного рівня життя у похилому віці. Реалізація запропо- нованих заходів дасть реальну можливість наблизити українську модель недержавного пенсійного страхування до кращої європейської прак- тики та підвищить її ефективність у контексті демографічного переходу.

Estudiar los dos modelos significativamente diferentes y bien distinguibles en el espacio y en el tiempo, y además la carrera de estos investigadores, puede presentar nuevos datos y aspectos no sólo para los investigadores húngaros menos familiarizados con los resultados y hallazgos españoles sino también para la historia de derecho europeo también. Abstract The study presents the history of Spanish and Hungarian research of legal customs related to the 19-20th century European legal modernization, based on the scientific oeuvre of Joaquín Costa Martínez (1846-1911) and Erno Tárkány Szücs (1921-1984). The examination of the two significantly different models and research careers, which can be clearly distinguished in space and time, can introduce new data and aspects for the research of the European legal developmena, and even for the regions applying European law more broadly. A partir de principios de siglo XIX, el Estado ruso, reconociendo el derecho de los pueblos conquistados a actuar en sus propios asuntos de acuerdo con sus propias costumbres jurídicas, concedió una importancia cada vez mayor a la recopilación de las costumbres jurídicas en particular.

Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm on April 8 said that the United States must modernize its nuclear arsenal to maintain its nuclear deterrent.

This article analyzes how Puerto Rican author Luis Rafael Sánchez incorporates the bolero as a musical genre into his recent essay, El corazón frente al mar (2021). I maintain that both the bolero and Sánchez's essay are texts as defined by Roland Barthes because of how they demand the listener's/reader's creative interpretation. I analyze the essay and the lyrics of the boleros to which Sánchez refers to demonstrate how the essay dialogues with multiple themes of the patriotic Puerto Rican bolero while modernizing its content. Ultimately, I argue that the essay constitutes a narrative bolero that both celebrates and scrutinizes Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, and the Caribbean. Resumen: Este artículo analiza el ensayo El corazón frente al mar (2021) del autor puertorriqueño Luis Rafael Sánchez a partir de su incorporación del género musical del bolero. Sostengo que tanto el bolero como el ensayo de Sánchez son textos en el sentido que propone Roland Barthes por la forma en que exigen la interpretación creativa del oyente/lector. Analizo en paralelo el ensayo y la letra de algunos de los boleros a los que se refiere Sánchez a fin de mostrar cómo el ensayo dialoga con varias de las temáticas del bolero patriótico puertorriqueño a la vez que moderniza su contenido. En última instancia, arguyo que el ensayo de Sánchez constituye un bolero narrativo que a la vez celebra y escudriña el Viejo San Juan, Puerto Rico y el Caribe.

The Research Group for Hungarian Realms of Memory affiliated to the Institute of Hungarian Literary and Cultural Studies at the University of Debrecen has taken on the thread of a long-running debate with its latest research program. Its research results were published in the conference volume entitled “Patterns of Debrecen…”. The studies presented in this volume are extremely inspiring, especially the analysis of Attila Debreczeni, which proves to those approaching the topic from other disciplines that the term ‘Debrecenness’ is not as timeless as it is commonly used. The term was coined at the turn of the 18-19th century by Ferenc Kazinczy, who was calling for the renewal of Hungarian culture and language. Its aim was to draw a deterrent example of a remnant that hinders the catching-up of Western European cultural development. He created his deterrent example from the most backward elements of the urban development peculiarities of Debrecen - this is the term ‘Debrecenness’. Kazinczy’s rhetorical construction became so strong that those who thought about the development of the city, about the special role and identity of Debrecen could not later get rid of the discursive position of defence. Other intellectual workshops examining the history of the city (historians, settlement geographers, church historians, others) can finally find proved the strength and impact of the Kazinczyan discourse and the term he coined as part of the development of the Debrecen mentality and identity. However, based on their research results, they came to the conclusion that the peculiarities of urban history of Debrecen, and its role in Hungarian nationwide development was richer and more diverse than the Kazinczyan term. Therefore, in addition to the ‘debreceniség/Debrecenness’ category, it is also worth examining whether there was a specific urban development path of Debrecen, which can be called ‘debrecenség/Debrecenity’ to avoid misunderstandings. In the light of recent modernization theories and current developments (depletion of traditional resources driving industrial modernization, environmental damages, climate change), the urban development of Debrecen cannot simply be classified as a lagging and receding force compared to the development of the central regions. Moreover, perhaps it can bring lessons and specific (partial) solutions to the interpretation of development that does not absolutize growth at all costs. The re-enacted debate is an intellectual challenge for all scientific workshops dealing with the urban development of Debrecen, their collaboration and the organization of a joint research project promise real scientific progress.

Tendinţa de modernizare a administraţiei publice În România se reflectă şi În modificările legislative in materia identificării persoanei fizice şi a evidenţei acesteia. Sunt vizate, În special, aspecte numeroase privitoare la evidenţa persoanei, cartea electronică de identitate şi organizarea stării civile. S-a urmărit realizarea unor sisteme informatice unitare coordonare de la nivel central În materie de evidenţă a persoanei precum şi În materie de stare civilă. Toate aceste modificări presupun existenţa unei infrastructuri tehnice. Din această cauză, intrarea in vigoare a unor măsuri a fost În mod repetat amânată. Modernizarea şi aplicarea legislaţiei privind identificarea persoanei fizice apare ca o importantă garanţie a respectării dreptului la liberă circulaţie a persoanei fizice şi celorlalte drepturi stabilite prin Tratatele de constituire a Uniunii Europene. Prezenta lucrare işi propune ca obiectiv să prezinte modul de organizare a evidenţei persoanei şi a stării civile, să prezinte câtevă elemente de noutate introduse În ultimii ani, să stabilească eficienţa lor socială. Metoda folosită este metoda cantitativă. Analiza temei evidenţiază necesitatea Îndeplinirii condiţiilor tehnice pentru a face posibilă punerea in aplicare a acestui ansamblu de măsuri care să uşureze viaţa cetăţenilor şi, pe de altă parte, necesitatea unei stabilităţi a legislaţiei care să asigure condiţia predictibilităţii.
