ANALYSIS OF CHEST PROTECTORS AND BALLISTIC SHIELDS IN TERMS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF USING SPATIAL STRUCTURES PRODUCED WITH ADDITIVE METHODS
Authors: FOTYGA Piotr , MAGIER Mariusz
Published: July 2024

The aim of the article was to analyze selected designs of two types of shields: chest protectors for motorcyclists and light, personal ballistic shields, in terms of the materials and design solutions used. In the further part of the article, selected concepts of spatial structures dedicated to absorbing the kinetic impact energy were analyzed based on a literature review. Basing on the analyses, conclusions were drawn regarding the possibility of developing and testing spatial structures produced using additive technologies, protecting the chest and limbs against the kinetic impact generated at velocity from 130 km/h up to 1300 km/h.
INCOMPATIBILITIES OF AMMUNITION PRIMERS AFTER EXPIRATION OF GUARANTEED TECHNICAL LIFE TIME
Authors: KRYSIŃSKI Bogdan
Published: July 2024

Primers can be found in almost every type of ammunition. Depending on the purpose of a primer, it can be installed in the outer wall of the product (e.g. small arms ammunition) or in its interior (e.g. fuses). Their physicochemical parameters change during the storage process as a result of the natural aging of the materials from which they are made, the impact of environmental factors, as well as various mechanical forces accompanying the process of their exploitation. Due to the role of primers in the operation of ammunition, their technical condition is subject to periodic inspections. They involve subjecting them to diagnostic tests and, based on the results obtained, making a prognostic decision informing about the method and period of their further operation. The article presents significant incompatibilities of primers found during their testing.
POSSIBILITIES FOR APPLICATION OF WASTE TYRES IN INDIVIDUAL BALLISTIC ARMOURS
Authors: CHMURA Tomasz
Published: July 2024

Development of motorisation and car transport is a source of large amounts of waste. Tyres waste is difficult and expensive for utilisation. Its aggregation and storng poses a serious problem to the environment. It also is an inspiration for searching new areas where the waste could be used. The paper presents results of tests on stabbing (knife resistance) for samples prepared with three layers of different types of used car tyres according with standard NIJ Standard–0115.00: Stab Resistance of Personal Body Armor. The samples met the requirements only for the first level of resistance in the case of an edge imitating a large military knife. Testing the resistance on higher levels and for other edges ended with a negative result. Therefore, a possibility for potential application of materials originating from the used tyres in individual armours protecting against stabbing by the white weapon is significantly limited.
A színpadon : A természettel kötött szerződés
Authors: Rheinberger Hans-Jörg
Published: July 2024

Ez a cikk Michael Serres Le Contrat Naturel (1990) című művének filozófiai meglátásaira reflektál, hangsúlyozva az emberiség Földdel való kapcsolata újrafogalmazásának sürgősségét. Serres szimbiotikus szövetséget javasol a természettudományok „pontos megismerése” és a „megfontolt ítélet” között, és a bolygóval való interakciónk mélyreható változását hirdeti. A cikk az öt elem – a föld, a levegő, a tűz, a víz és az élők univerzuma – Serres-féle felfogásába nyújt betekintést, miközben a tudományok szerepét vizsgálja a természettel való harmonikus együttélés elősegítésében. Vizsgálja Serres filozófia- és társadalomtudományi kritikáját is, kiemelve a természettudományok egyedülálló helyzetét a világ anyagi valóságának megismerésében. A két képanyag elemzésén keresztül a szerző felvázolja az emberiség természettel való összekapcsolódása figyelmen kívül hagyásának következményeit. Arra a következtetésre jut, hogy a tudósoknak, mint a Föld gondnokainak, az átalakulási folyamatba be kell kapcsolódniuk, hogy biztosítsák a bolygó fenntarthatóságát a jövő generációi számára.

A kutatás kiterjed a maszkok használatára, a posztdramatikus és poszthumán színház fejlődő természetére, valamint a természet és a Gaia hagyományos drámai formákon belüli ábrázolásának kihívására. A szerző a klímaváltozás és a fajok kipusztulása tragédiájának kezelésére alkalmas színházi forma folyamatos keresésével zárja tanulmányát, hangsúlyozva a dráma és a színház szerepét abban, hogy segítsen az emberiségnek eligazodni ezekben a kihívásokban.
Színház a Covid-járvány után : Művészi innováció vagy útfüggőség?
Authors: Balme Christopher , Eder Thomas , Rowson James
Published: July 2024

Ez a tanulmány a vegyes módszertani megközelítésre támaszkodva az Egyesült Királyságban, Németországban, Svájcban és Ausztriában összegyűjtött anyagok felmérési adatainak és diskurzuselemzéseinek az eredményeit mutatja be. A kérdés a következő volt: A Covid-járvány okozta exogén sokk innovációra késztette-e a színházakat? A tanulmány az útfüggőség elméletéből indul ki, ami azt jelenti, hogy az intézményi változások rendkívül nehezek, ezenfelül a szerzők állítása szerint az előzetes eredmények valóban olyan átalakulásokra utalnak, amelyek mind a színház technológiai, mind az intézményi dimenzióit érintik, különösen a digitális infrastruktúra és a know-how területén. Ellenben a különbségek jelentősen eltérnek a vizsgált országok és a színházi rendszerek között, ami kiindulópontot nyújt a rendszerszintű eltérések megvitatásához. A felmérések a munkával való elégedettség és a jövedelem tekintetében is meglepő eredményekkel szolgálnak, mivel a támogatási programok biztosították a színházi dolgozók túlélését, és csökkentették a gyakran fenntarthatatlannak ítélt produkciós és előadási időbeosztásra nehezedő nyomást.

Box Station Parametric Study with Time History Dynamic Analysis
Authors: Sengara I Wayan , Basarah Yuamar I. , Sulaiman Ahmad , Sibagariang Sarah M.T.
Published: July 2024

The performance of an underground station structure subjected to an earthquake can be evaluated by looking at deformation as well as forces and bending moments that occur in the structure. Most design practices adopt simplified approaches, such as the free field deformation method and pseudo-static approaches, which have a high level of uncertainty. Therefore, it is necessary to perform dynamic time-history analysis to verify the results of the simplified approach. Dynamic modeling is considered a more appropriate approach because it better represents seismic shaking in evaluating the seismic response of underground structures. This study performed time-history dynamic analysis by conducting a parametric study. The study was conducted to determine the effect of parameters such as site class, peak base acceleration (PBA) ground-motion intensity, and the type of seismic mechanism on the deformation response. Based on the parametric study, it was found that the stiffer the site class, the smaller the relative deformation of the resulting underground structure. The greater the PBA intensity value, the greater the relative deformation. Relative deformation in the wall structure subjected to a subduction earthquake is more significant compared to that of a shallow crustal earthquake.

Published: July 2024

Previous research on the well-known environmental pollutant fluoride has demonstrated that fluoride exposure can lead to oxidative stress-related male infertility. Obesity is another public health issue that has a detrimental impact on male fertility. Previously, findings on fluoride toxicity in high-fat diet (HFD) conditions associated with oxidative stress have been evidenced. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of subchronic fluoride exposure (5 mg/kg) plus a HFD on testicular alteration in Wistar rats. Animals were divided into four groups (control, HFD, fluoride, and fluoride 5 mg/kg plus HFD). The HFD contained a 50% kcal increase in fat (saturated fat), after 90 days of co-exposure to fluoride plus HFD, the animals showed a significant decrease in the adiposity index. The co-exposed group showed oxidative damage assessed through decreased glutathione (GSH) concentration (p < 0.0001), increased concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA) (p < 0.0001), and the oxidation of proteins (p < 0.0001) vs the control group. Finally, testicular histology exhibited a reduction in spermatogonia and spermatocytes. The results of the study indicate that under these conditions, subchronic co-exposure to fluoride under HFD conditions could protect against the accumulation of epididymal fat, however, oxidative alteration at the testicular level is maintained.
Improper performance of professional duties by medical and pharmaceutical professionals: Current status and problems of counteraction
Authors: Vozniuk Andriy , Hryha Mariia
Published: July 2024

Protecting the lives of citizens and providing qualified medical care is of utmost importance in times of war. At the same time, statistics show that numerous cases of criminal offences committed by healthcare professionals do not result in them actually serving a criminal sentence. The purpose of this study was to investigate the issues of non-performance or improper performance of professional duties by medical and pharmaceutical professionals and to outline the problematic aspects of combating these criminal offences and the ways to address them. The study employed a combination of both general scientific (general dialectical, analysis, synthesis, legal, induction, and deduction) and special (systemic-structural, statistical, critical) methods of knowledge to identify, analyse, and interpret data. The study made it possible to state that there are a range of problems impeding the effective prosecution of medical and pharmaceutical professionals for criminal offences, and to classify the identified complications into subjective and objective ones, related not only to the training of medical professionals, judicial, and law enforcement agencies, but also to legislative gaps and problems in medicine, which lead to a high level of latency of medical torts, ineffective pre-trial investigation of medical torts, as well as avoidance of criminal liability by medical professionals. Therefore, combating these crimes is largely reduced to recording them by law enforcement officials. The unsatisfactory performance of professional duties by doctors not only negatively affects the quality of services provided to patients, but also leads to serious consequences in the form of their death or considerable damage to the health of the victims. The findings of this study will be useful for practitioners of investigative bodies engaged in qualification and investigation of the torts under study, will contribute to the development of a strategy to improve the effectiveness of combating such criminal offences, and will also be useful for medical professionals to prevent mistakes leading to serious consequences for the life and health of patients, as well as in the context of motivation to perform their professional duties in good faith
Peculiarities of legal assessment of aiding and abetting the aggressor state: National and international dimensions
Authors: Kuznetsova Larysa , Kuznetsov Vitalii , Matiushenko Olena
Published: July 2024

The Ukrainian legislator’s differentiation of criminal liability for certain manifestations of collaboration has led to unjustified competition and considerable difficulties in qualifying the relevant unlawful acts. The purpose of this study was to analyse the specific features of criminal liability for aiding and abetting the aggressor state in the national and international dimensions. To complete the tasks of this study, a set of scientific methods was employed: dogmatic – in the analysis of legal constructions of elements of collaboration and abetting the aggressor state; comparative legal – in the context of comparing the rules on liability for collaboration and the rules of international humanitarian law. The study showed that Ukrainian criminal law theory and court practice have not developed consistent approaches to the application of the rules on liability for collaboration. The study focused on the fact that the criminal legislation of Ukraine applies an approach whereby certain types of economic collaboration are factually identified with military collaboration, which does not follow international humanitarian law. It was concluded that when qualifying the transfer of material resources to representatives of the aggressor state, there is a competition between the provisions of Part 4 of Article 111- 1 and Article 111-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. In such a situation, it is reasonable to apply the rule on liability for collaboration. It was found that the payment of taxes, fees, and other mandatory payments to the Russian budget of any level, made in the occupied territory of Ukraine by a citizen of Ukraine, a foreigner, a stateless person for themselves and/or in the interests of legal entities registered in the territory of the Russian Federation cannot be covered by the objective side of abetting the aggressor state, as it does not follow international humanitarian law and does not contain such a feature as voluntariness, which is a mandatory feature of the crime under Article 111-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The practical significance of this study lies in defining certain rules for qualifying aiding and abetting the aggressor state which may be used by pre-trial investigation authorities in the legal assessment of such behaviour
“Filtration” of the population in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine as an instrument of genocide
Authors: Shapovalova Anna , Fedorovska Nataliіa
Published: July 2024

The relevance of this study stems from the need to investigate the “filtration” structure introduced by the occupation authorities, which contains violations of international humanitarian law. The purpose of this study was to investigate the conceptual and organisational foundations of the “filtration” system through the lens of international human rights law. Considering the subject matter and the purpose of this study, a range of scientific methods was employed, including terminological, systemic and structural, formal and logical, which helped to investigate the subject matter and summarise the analysis findings. The study covered the testimonies of victims about the crimes committed against them while passing through the filtration labyrinth. The study outlined the problematic issues of proving crimes committed on the territory of Ukraine, considering the practice of European and international court decisions on violations of civilian rights through the lens of international humanitarian law related to armed conflict. The study concluded that the “filtration” of the Ukrainian population in the temporarily occupied territories is a gross violation of human rights and contradicts the principles of democracy, freedom, and self-determination. Targeted sanctions against those responsible for these violations are crucial to hold them accountable for their actions. The study concluded that stopping the practice of “filtration” and facilitating the restoration of the rights and freedoms of the Ukrainian population in the temporarily occupied territories is possible only through diplomatic efforts and international cooperation. The main provisions of this study will encourage further investigations of crimes with the recording of testimonies and evidence, as well as contribute to the development of sound policies, mechanisms of international accountability, and prevention of potential violations in the interests of justice and protection of civilians

Authors: Ovsіanіuk Dmytro
Published: July 2024

The relevance of the research topic is related to the fact that in order to effectively address the problem of drug crime, it is necessary to develop and implement strategies based on the best practices, supported by scientific research, that optimise the use of law enforcement resources and limit the harm caused by drug trafficking. The purpose of this paper is to study the latest trends in the use of the intelligence cycle in the fight against crime, to create and describe a model of its application in the field of combating drug-related crime. To achieve the purpose of the research, the following scientific methods were used: terminological, systemic and structural, analysis, comparative analysis, modelling, formal and logical, generalisation, and expert evaluation. It is proved that for the effective and efficient organisation of analytical activities in the field of combating drug- related crime, a thorough understanding of and strict adherence to the stages of the intelligence cycle, which underlies criminal analysis, is crucial. It is concluded that the intelligence cycle is a flexible dynamic process that requires analysts to think critically and creatively, to respond meaningfully to new information, and to move through the stages of the intelligence cycle. The intelligence cycle was analysed, the analyst’s activities at each of the stages, specifically, during defining (setting) tasks and planning; collecting and evaluating data; generalising, systemising, and processing; analysing; preparing a report and submitting it to the customer; and receiving feedback, were highlighted. The findings of the study showed that the intelligence cycle is a universal tool that allows streamlining any activity related to information analysis, ensuring quality control and high-quality results of analytical work, specifically in the field of combating drug-related crime. The list of possible tasks of analytical work in the field of combating illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, their analogues and precursors, and summarised potential sources of information necessary for analysis, were summarised. The results of this study will be useful for heads of units involved in combating drug-related crime, employees who, according to their functional responsibilities, іimplement criminal analysis in combating drug-related crime, and scholars who research these issues
Dawn, Twilight, and Dusk of Beginnings in Greek Mythology and Philosophy
Authors: Mr. S. Shehzad Noor  , Ms. Syeda Noureen Fatima
Published: July 2024

A select few of “beginnings” among the Greeks are Homer’s “Oceanus”, Hesiod’s “Chaos”, Anaximander’s “Boundless”, Parmenides’ “Being”, Plato’s “Form of the Good” and Aristotle’s “Contemplation”. Sequentially capturing an account of various beginnings in Greek mythology and philosophy, this article opens with Homer’s “Oceanus”, an elemental water-based beginning, and reaches its closing stage in Aristotle’s “Contemplation”, a conceptual beginning. Mythological beginnings of Homer and Hesiod have the characteristic of birth, philosophical beginnings of Plato and Aristotle, have the characteristic of causality, while the pre-Socratic beginnings of Anaximander and Parmenides hold a unique place of their own - they seem to be a likeness of both yet at the same time are discernable from them. This article is structured in three sections: after a brief introduction distinguishing mythology from philosophy, a description of Greek beginnings in mythology and philosophy is given in sequential pairs i.e. Homer/Hesiod, Anaximander/Parmenides and Plato/Aristotle. Finally, the conclusion presents the significance of sequentially capturing Greek beginnings in the metaphor of “dawn, twilight and dusk” which exhausts what they considered as visible and expressible.

Response of Maize (Zea mays L.) to Poultry Dung Compost on Sandy Soil in Toumodi, Central Côte d'Ivoire
Authors: Felix Bouadou oi Bouadou , Germaine Tanoh Adjoua , Fabrice Tra Bi Diangone , Baptiste Ettien Djetchi Jean
Published: July 2024

The increase in maize harvests among farmers in the Toumodi locality (6°25'4.8˝N and 5°4'19.2˝w), in Côte d'Ivoire, required a study during the June cropping season in 2023. 4 increasing doses of compost: T0 (0 t/ha), T1 (10 t/ha), T2 (15 t/ha) and T3 (20 t/ha), were applied to the soil (0 - 20 cm) in a Fischer-type set-up with 4 replications. The mean values of the yield components of the various treatments were compared with each other and with those of the blank control using analyses of variance for a critical threshold, α = 0.05. Flowering was observed in male and female plants after 50 days following sowing in all the amended plots, whereas it appeared 10 to 15 days later in the plots without application. The highest grain yields were noted in the plots receiving the 15 t/ha dose, with average harvests of around 5 t/ha compared with 1.9 t/ha for the treatment without application. In addition, the 15 t/ha dose produced more seeds than the other treatments. In addition to its availability, the compost tested is rich in nutrients. An application of at least 10 t/ha is enough to increase yields, which are estimated to be almost twice as high as those in soils without compost. To this end, spreading this material on farmers' fields is highly desirable. However, the use of compost requires pre-treatment of the raw organic material, which could be a constraint on its use.
‘Spicing up’ with Biotechnology: Trends and Developments in Black Pepper (Piper nigrum) Research
Authors: I P Vijesh Kumar , Syamaladevi Divya P , T E Sheeja
Published: July 2024

Black pepper, often referred to as “Black Gold” is primarily a culinary spice and is commonly used in traditional medicine. A large and diverse black pepper germplasm is available in and around the centre of origin, the tropical evergreen forests of the Western Ghats in India. As the full bearing age in black pepper is 6-7 years, the time and effort required to bring about a tangible trait improvement through conventional breeding is huge and it often takes decades for the development of a new variety. Needless to say, combining different traits like biotic and abiotic stress tolerance with industry-acceptable yield and quality traits, thus becomes a daunting task and a distant dream.  Biotechnological interventions in plant breeding have proven their potential to facilitate speedy crop improvement. The present review provides a fair account of biotechnology research that happened in black pepper in recent times. It underlines the scope of biotechnological tools as ways and means to produce high-yielding, superior-quality and stress-resilient varieties. This article focuses on the studies in gene expression and regulation in black pepper during different stages of crop and environmental stimuli. Molecular insights from such studies are expected to contribute considerably to increase crop resilience and productivity.

Authors: Singh Ayushi , Talpade Meghana
Published: July 2024

This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of the proximate composition of three popular crustaceans: Prawns (Penaeus indicus), Crab (Scylla serrata), and Lobster (Sagmariasus verreauxi). This paper aims to find proximate analysis that involves the determination of various components such as moisture content, protein, lipid, carbohydrate, and ash. These findings suggest that prawns, lobster, and crab differ in their nutritional composition, highlighting their potential as diverse sources of essential nutrients. Prawns may be a suitable option for individuals seeking a high-protein seafood choice with a protein content of 20.23g, whereas lobster may provide a richer source of carbohydrates at 1.093g. Crab, with its low fat at 2.2g and high mineral content, could be beneficial for individuals aiming to enhance their dietary intake of these nutrients. The findings of this paper conclude that crabs offer a preferable seafood option among crustaceans compared to prawns and lobsters. Further research could explore additional species of prawns, crabs, and lobsters to strengthen our conclusions.

En este texto se propone como objetivo explorar y actualizar el dibujo del panorama general del impacto de la actual revolución científica y tecnológica en la educación. Ello por supuesto exige una reconsideración de las significaciones de ese proceso de mutación de todas las prácticas humanas, de transformación de nuestros instrumentos y, sobre todo, de nuestras representaciones de la realidad, las cuales deben incorporar también la incertidumbre y la velocidad de los movimientos. Por supuesto que es un tema de una gran amplitud y muchos textos, estudios e investigaciones, deberían tomarse en cuenta. Las dimensiones monumentales de este conocimiento sobre la actual Revolución Científica Tecnológica, ameritan una labor de síntesis y de reflexión. Se trata de comprender estos cambios, tanto de parte de los nativos de este tiempo de profundas mutaciones, como de los más viejos, los que han vivido, sorprendidos, la llegada de este futuro que apenas da chance para levantar la mirada y tal vez ojear el horizonte.
