Digitalizacija kompanijskog prava EU u funkciji bolje regulative / Digitalization of EU Coroporate Law for the Pirpose of better Regulation

Goals of governments are usually formulated in the form of public policies, and legislation is an instrument by which political visions and goals are achieved. The creation of new legislation inevitably produces costs and benefits for those to whom the legislation applies as well as for society as a whole. In an effort to make new legislation more cost-effective, governments use a variety of tools to improve the quality of regulations and other acts. Governments that apply various tools to improve the quality of legislation implement the principles of "smart" legislation (better regulation, smart regulation). In such a state of affairs, how can we constructively, using digital tools and procedures when establishing companies via the Internet, ensure simpler, faster and more time and cost-effective starting of economic activity? Is better regulation the result of good legislative instruments and procedures that enable high quality legislation and the rule of law? How will the use of digital tools and procedures in company law bring economic and social benefits to society as a whole? The aim of this paper is to show that by adopting the Directive on the use of digital tools and procedures in company law (2019/1151), the European Union is taking further steps to digitize and modernize company law as a whole, and thus achieve what is at the heart of the European Commission. it is better regulation.
Effect of extreme weather events on the pheromone trapping dynamics of European spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus L.) in various environmental conditions of mountain spruce stands

Hurricanes, high temperatures and drought have caused damage to forests in the Żywiec Beskids. The effect of extreme weather events on the population of Ips typographus was examined in the damaged spruce stands in the period of 2005-2007, using pheromone traps for catching beetles. The daily average number of trapped beetles in a single pheromone trap ranged between 32 and 72 in subsequent growing seasons. It was proved that thermal conditions at different altitudes affected the beginning and the course of I. typographus swarming. Three swarming peaks were observed in each of three consecutive growing seasons. Extremely high temperatures in 2006 did not increase the number of swarming peaks. In 2007 the number of beetles in pheromone traps was twice higher than in the first year of the study.
Integrated Network Monitoring using Zabbix with Push Notification via Telegram

The world is becoming increasingly dependent on online services. To offer a service, a network must be in good health and free of any attacks. An attack happens when the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of a service is compromised. Network monitoring is a solution capable of maintaining these network devices from their usage up to detecting attacks. A denial of service (DoS) attack on a network can affect the network performance and can cause serious damage. Zabbix is an open-source network monitoring tool that is versatile and can be used to monitor hosts on a network. The purpose of this project is to detect possible ping and SYN flooding attempts on a server and send alerts to the administrator via Telegram. This project uses Zabbix to monitor a server for potential ping and SYN flooding attacks. Tcpdump is used to log the pings received by the server. When the server continuously receives 10 or more pings per second, an alert will be automatically generated and sent to the administrator via Telegram. Similarly, a SYN flood attack is detected by using netstat’s SYN_RECV flags. When the server continuously receives more than 10 SYN packets without an ACK packet, Zabbix will generate alerts that are sent via Telegram and update the dashboard to show a problem. Zabbix was able to accurately detect all ping flooding attempts on the server. However, SYN flooding attacks were not as accurately detected. The use of Zabbix can be implemented in small businesses or networks for an automated monitoring system. Future work can include more DDoS attacks and adding countermeasure actions when detecting attacks by blocking the IP or port associated with the attack. SYN flooding detection needs to be improved because only two out of three attacks were able to be caught.
Novel multiobjective particle swarm optimization based on ranking and cyclic distance strategy

To effectively improve the convergence and diversity of the multiobjective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO), we proposed a novel MOPSO based on ranking and cyclic distance (RCDMOPSO) that comprehensively considers the spatial target and congestion information of particles. RCDMOPSO introduced a method namely global proportional ranking (GPR) which differs from nondominated ranking under the Pareto framework, and designed a novel external archive maintenance and the global selection strategies of learning sample by combining GPR with cyclic distance. In this paper, RCDMOPSO together with eight classic and state‐of‐the‐art algorithms were examined on ZDT, UF, and DTLZ series to test functions. The results show that RCDMOPSO is highly competitive in achieving the objectives of both convergence and diversity. RCDMOPSO outperformed other popular algorithms such as MOPSOs and multiobjective genetic algorithms based on comprehensive performance evaluation indicators inverted generational distance and hypervolume, thus supporting that RCDMOPSO is an effective approach to tackle multiobjective optimization problems.

Metastasis is a complex and multi-step stochastic process. The study of the probabilities of generating a tumor from a primary site in another organs is the aim of this work. Based on statistics of National Institute of Cancer of Argentina (INC), a characterization of the routes of metastasis for the principal organs is presented by using Absorbing Markov chains. The metastasis propagation from different primary sites towards secondary and tertiary sites is also shown, emphasizing the relation and analysis about absorbing states.
Evaluation of yield and yield components of advanced Kenyan barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) genotypes

Yield in barley is a complex trait that is dependent upon environmental, physiological and morphological factors of a genotype. The study aimed at evaluating yield and yield components of advanced barley lines. Field experiments were conducted under quarantine conditions at Kenya Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization-Njoro in the Central Rift Valley. Forty genotypes were sown in one meter twin rows arrange in a randomized complete block design with three replicates during the main season (March-August, 2015) and the off season (September 2015-January 2016). Data on plant height, spike length and grains per spike collected on ten randomly selected plants from each plot. Yield and biomass, thousand kernel weight for each plot were also collected followed by analyses using Statistical Analysis Software version 9.1. The analysis of variance revealed significant difference between seasons in all the parameters taken at p  0.01. Genotypes were significant for all parameters (p  0.01) while its interaction with season was significant for only the biomass and TKW (p  0.05) and non-significant for the rest of the traits. There was significant (p  0.05) difference for yield and yield components over seasons. The off season had higher values for plant height (7.9%), spike length (11.5%), grains per spike (5.7%), biomass (54.3%), yield (55.0%) and TKW (5.6%) than the Main season. However, harvest index was higher in Main season than in off season by 21.1%. Yield had a positive correlation with all the yield components but was significant only with biomass, harvest index and TKW (p  0.001). Harvest index correlated negatively with all yield components (p  0.001) except yield and thousand kernel weight. The number of grains per spike had a negative correlation with thousand kernel weight. Therefore, this study reveals that genetic variability for yield and yield components exists in barley genotypes and it can be used in barley improvement breeding programs.
Individuals in an endemic region for Leishmania braziliensis display lower levels of CD45RO in T cells

Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is an important neglected tropical disease, that reaches about 900 thousand to 1.5 million people annually, mainly in Brazil. The present study aimed to characterize these lymphocyte populations and the expression of the CD45RO marker profile in patients with CL. We evaluated CD4+, CD8+, double-positive (DP) and double-negative (DN) T cells and their expression of CD45RO in Cutaneous Leishmaniasis patients, divided into three groups: before treatment (BT), posttreatment (PT) and subclinical (SC). CD4+ T cells had a higher percentage in PT and SC groups when compared to the control group (CT). CD4+ T cells presented a greater expression of CD45RO in BT and PT groups compared to the SC group, that had a lower expression compared with the CT. CD8+ T lymphocytes had a higher percentage in BT when compared with CT and a greater expression of CD45RO when compared to PT, SC and CT groups. We did not observe any statistical significance in the percentage of the DP and DN lymphocytes, however, we noticed that the DP lymphocytes presented a lower expression of CD45RO in the SC group when compared to the CT group, whereas the DN lymphocytes showed a greater expression of CD45RO in the BT group when compared with the other groups. CD4+ T cells appear to be protective in these patients and CD8+ T lymphocytes seem to be associated to pathogenesis, while DP CD45RO+ and DN CD45RO+ lymphocytes appear to play a dual role.

Physical and Sociocultural Community-Level Influences on Cigar Smoking among Black Young Adults: An In-Depth Interview Investigation

Black young adults experience disparately high rates of cigar use and its health consequences. Little research has explored community-level influences on cigar smoking in this population, especially concerning product-specific influences and cigar smokers’ perceptions. We conducted in-depth interviews with 40 Black young adult (ages 21–29) cigar smokers in the Washington, D.C. area and analyzed themes regarding physical and sociocultural community-level factors perceived to influence cigar use. Themes were further analyzed based on participants’ predominant cigar products (cigarillos, large cigars, blunts). Participants reported easy access to affordable cigarillos, widespread cigarillo sales and targeted marketing, norms of cigar and blunt smoking for stress relief, socialization, and cultural participation, and ubiquitous cigar and blunt smoking cues, all of which promoted cigar use in their communities. Future research should further explore how community-level influences contribute to disproportionate cigar use among Black young adults. Our findings suggest that programs and policies addressing physical and sociocultural community-level pro-smoking influences may help mitigate cigar smoking disparities.
Comparison of the Nutritional and Taste Characteristics of 5 Edible Fungus Powders Based on the Composition of Hydrolyzed Amino Acids and Free Amino Acids

The nutritional characteristics and taste of some edible fungus powders were scientifically evaluated and compared. Five common edible fungus powders were used as test materials (Agrocybe chaxinggu edible fungus powder, Pleurotus citrinopileatus edible fungus powder, Flammulina velutipes edible fungus powder, Lentinus edodes edible fungus powder, and Hericium erinaceus edible fungus powder). The hydrolyzed amino acid and free amino acid content were measured by an automatic amino acid analyzer, and the ratios of hydrolyzed amino acid and free amino acid components and the taste characteristics of these eatables were systematically compared. The results showed that the total amount of hydrolyzed amino acids contained in the 5 edible fungus powders was between 2.583 and 14.656 g/100 g. The total amount of free amino acids contained in the 5 edible fungus powders was between 0.550 and 2.612 g/100 g. Comparative analysis of the mass fractions and composition of amino acids indicated that Pleurotus citrinopileatus edible fungus powder best met the ideal protein standard. The taste characteristics of protein were evaluated by calculating the taste active value (TAV) of taste-producing free amino acids. The most significant TAV values of the 5 edible fungus powders appeared in glutamic acid, and this amino acid is an umami amino acid. Principal component analysis (PCA) suggested that four principal components could reflect all the information on the free amino acids with a total cumulative variance contribution rate of 100%, and three principal components could reflect most of the information on the hydrolyzed amino acids with a total cumulative variance contribution rate of 99.143%, which could represent the main trends of free amino acids and hydrolyzed acids in edible fungus powder. The comprehensive evaluation model was established, and the comprehensive score indicated that Agrocybe chaxinggu edible fungus powder had the best comprehensive amino acid quality.

Hydrogen therapy after resuscitation improves myocardial injury involving inhibition of autophagy in an asphyxial rat model of cardiac arrest

Hydrogen (H2) therapy is a therapeutic strategy using molecular H2. Due to its ability to regulate cell homeostasis, H2 therapy has exhibited marked therapeutic effects on a number of oxidative stress-associated diseases. The present study investigated the effectiveness of H2 therapy in protecting against myocardial injury in a rat model of asphyxial cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Rats underwent 10-min asphyxia-induced cardiac arrest (CA) and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), and were randomly divided into control and H2 therapy groups. After resuscitation, the H2 therapy group was administered room air mixed with 2% H2 gas for respiration. During CA/CPR, the arterial pressure and heart rate were measured every minute. Survival rate, cardiac function, myocardial injury biomarkers creatine kinase-MB and cardiac troponin-T, and histopathological changes were evaluated to determine the protective effects of H2 therapy in CA/CPR. Immunohistochemistry and western blot analysis were used to determine the expression levels of autophagy-associated proteins. In vitro, H9C2 cells were subjected to hypoxia/reoxygenation and H2-rich medium was used in H2 treatment groups. Western blotting and immunofluorescence were used to observe the expression levels of autophagy-associated proteins. Moreover, an adenovirus-monomeric red fluorescent protein-green fluorescent protein-LC3 construct was used to explore the dynamics of autophagy in the H9C2 cells. The results showed that H2 therapy significantly improved post-resuscitation survival and cardiac function. H2 therapy also improved mitochondrial mass and decreased autophagosome numbers in cardiomyocytes after resuscitation. The treatment inhibited autophagy activation, with lower expression levels of autophagy-associated proteins and decreased autophagosome formation in vivo and vitro. In conclusion, H2 gas inhalation after return of spontaneous circulation improved cardiac function via the inhibition of autophagy.
CRISPR/Cas9 Mediated Disruption of Seminal Fluid Protein Sfp62 Induces Male Sterility in Bombyx mori

Simple Summary In gamogenetic animals, seminal fluid proteins are essential for male fertility. In this study, we investigated the function of the seminal fluid protein Sfp62 by using the CRISPR/Cas9 system in lepidopteran model insect Bombyx mori. Sfp62 mutation led to male sterility and can be inherited stably. The mutation did not affect growth and developmental nor female fertility. These data indicate that Sfp62 is an ideal target for sterile insect technology (SIT), in which genetically modified insects are released on a large scale to mate with wild-type insects in order to reduce or even eradicate the target pests. The determining factors for the effective implementation of SIT include the strong competitiveness of the modified individuals and multi-generational effects resulting from the mutation. Sfp62 meets these criteria and is therefore a promising target for biological pest control. Abstract Seminal fluid proteins provide factors necessary for development, storage, and activation of sperm. Altered expression of seminal fluid proteins can lead to defect in male infertility. We investigated the function of seminal fluid protein Sfp62 in the model lepidopteran insect Bombyx mori using CRISPR/Cas9 mediated mutagenesis. The knockout of BmSfp62 gene led to male sterility but has no effect on female fertility. The mutation did not affect growth and development of the silkworm of both sexes. Motility of sperm in male mutants was decreased and the mRNA expression levels of other genes encoding seminal fluid proteins were altered in BmSfp62 mutants compared to the wild-type controls. The male sterility caused by mutation of BmSfp62 was stably inherited. As the proteins encoded by Sfp62 genes are conserved among lepidopteran species, Sfp62 is a potential target for the biological management of lepidopteran pests.
Talent Culture’s Role in Talent Development among Academics: Insights from Malaysian Government Linked Universities

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the talent development antecedents in Malaysian Government Linked Companies (GLCs) Universities. Four key constructs were identified and analysed from the literature including talent identification, talent culture, competencies and talent development. Design/methodology/approach – The data required for this research were collected using a survey and online surveys sent to the three universities who participated in the study. A questionnaire was developed with 26 items adapted from previously validated scales. A non-probabilistic sampling procedure, i.e. convenience sampling, was utilised owing to the unavailability of a satisfactory sampling frame. Questionnaires were distributed to academics from three GLCs— Universiti Tenaga Malaysia (UNITEN), Universiti Teknologi Petronas (UTP) and Multimedia University of Malaysia (MMU). A total of 300 questionnaires were submitted to the GLC universities, of which 168 surveys were completed and deemed useable for data processing. Findings - The research findings revealed that talent culture plays a significant mediating role in talent identification and competencies towards talent development in retaining competent academics in Malaysian GLCs universities. The findings also suggest that in order to attract and retain competent academics, GLC universities should institute formal career development opportunities and career orientated strategic plans. Finally, public policy makers should utilise key indicators of talent identification and talent culture such as equitable performance rating systems and rewarding of exemplary contributions in order to stimulate overall talent development. Research limitations/implications - GLC universities should cultivate a Talent Management culture to enhance their talent culture and thereby increase the skills of academics and retain quality academic staff. This research highlights the potential benefits of cultivating a Talent Management culture. The results of this study will benefit the GLC universities specifically, and other educational institutions in general by assisting them to identify, develop and retain competent academics. Originality/value – This is one of the few studies that uses partial least squares to address a multifaceted problem associated with the talent management competency in Malaysian Government Linked Companies universities.
The Origin and Development of Translanguaging and Its 
Implications for Foreign Language Pedagogy

Translanguaging has been a heated topic in applied linguistics and foreign language pedagogy in recent years. It was put forward by Cen Williams as a bilingual teaching practice, and then it was gradually developed by other scholars. This thesis will introduce the origin and development of the theory translanguaging, previous studies of translanguaging and its implications for foreign language pedagogy. Although translanguaging has been applied into the teaching practice abroad, its application and ways of practicing still need to be improved so as to better adapt to the domestic teaching environment.
THE EFFECT OF DRAW-OFF ON FILTRATION REGIME OF EARTH-FILL DAM

The article discusses the solution to the problem of transient seepage in relation to cases of rapid drawdown or draw-off, which may be caused by technological necessity or an emergency. This paper provides an overview of research and calculation methods for the problem under consideration. Using the PLAXIS software package, a numerical solution of the filtration problem for a homogeneous soil dam with a drainage prism is obtained. This problem has been repeatedly solved using other methods and computational programs. Comparison of the obtained results with those performed earlier by other methods showed their reliability and good comparability. The obtained results of solving the filtration problem at the next stage of the study of the structure operability can be used to assess the filtration strength of the soils of the dam and the stability of the upstream slope.
