Lugha ni kipengele muhimu cha utambulisho ambacho huweza kuwaunganisha, kuwatenganisha au kuwabagua wazungumzaji katika jamii. Utambulisho ni mtazamo wa kibinafsi wa mtu, yeye ni nani na vibainishi vinavyoashiria ushirika wake katika kikundi fulani cha kijamii. Mitazamo au maoni ya wazungumzaji kuhusu wao ni akina nani au utambulisho wao katika jamii, yanaweza kutofautiana na ushahidi wa kiisimu ambao huweka makundi ya wazungumzaji wanaozungumza lahaja mbalimbali kama wanajamii wa lugha moja. Dhana hii hudhihirika kwa wazungumzaji wa Kĩndia na Kĩgĩchũgũ ambao huchukuliwa kuwa wao si Wakikuyu hata ingawa kiisimu wameainishwa na kuwekwa katika kundi moja kama Wakikuyu. Makala haya yanaazimia kuchunguza mitazamo wanayoendeleza wazungumzaji wa Kĩndia na Kĩgĩchũgũ kuhusu utambulisho wao wa kijamii katika jamii. Mtazamo ni tathmini, chanya au hasi, kuelekea kitu au mtu, ambayo hujidhihirisha kwa imani, hisia au nia ya mtu mwenyewe. Kuna wakati wazungumzaji huweza kujinasibisha na kikundi fulani cha kijamii na wakati mwingine kukana utambulisho huo kutokana na sababu mbalimbali. Hii hutokana na wao kuendeleza mitazamo mbalimbali kuhusu utambulisho huo. Utafiti wa makala haya uliongozwa na nadharia ya Tajfel na Turner (1979). Data ilikusanywa kupitia mahojiano na kuchanganuliwa kimaelezo. Matokeo ya utafiti yalidhihirisha kuwa wazungumzaji wa Kĩndia na Kĩgĩchũgũ wana mitazamo hasi na chanya kuhusu utambulisho wao wa kijamii. Mitazamo hasi ya kubaguliwa na kudhalilishwa ilichangia watafitiwa kukana utambulisho wao na jamiilugha ya Wakikuyu na kujitambulisha kama Wakĩrĩnyaga.

Published: July 2022

The present study attempts to examine the heat transfer and pressure drop aspects of a 11-channel dimple plate heat exchanger with hot water as the hot fluid and sodium benzoate (food preservative) as the cold fluid. The outcome of the mass flow rate of hot and cold fluids on the convective heat transfer coefficient and overall heat transfer coefficient were investigated. Furthermore, the effect of Reynolds number on the pressure drop and the Nusselt number were observed. The experimental results demonstrated that when the mass flow rate of the cold fluid increases, so does the overall heat transfer coefficient and the convective heat transfer coefficient. Convective heat transfer coefficient, overall heat transfer coefficient, pressure drop and Nusselt number were increased when sodium benzoate concentration is varied (0.2, 0.4, 0.6% w/w). A correlation is obtained on the basis of experimental results to estimate the Nusselt number as a function of Reynolds and Prandtl number.

THE ISSUES OF THE WHISTLEBLOWER’S STATUS IN THE CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS
Authors: Mykhailenko Vira
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the problems of the whistleblower’s participation as a participant in criminal proceedings. The current situation of the criminal procedural legislation regulating the status of the whistleblower is analyzed, problematic issues of the normative regulation of his participation are identified. The status of a whistleblower provided for in the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine differs from the definition of the Law of Ukraine «On Prevention of Corruption». On the side, there are no restrictions on the sphere from which the whistleblower can become aware of the facts of corruption. On the other hand, the CCP does not take into account certain types of offenses to which the Law extends the action of the institution of the whistleblower.

In the current conditions of legal regulation, the whistleblower at the initial stage of criminal proceedings is a kind of applicant. Information about the whistleblower is not entered into the Register, but according to the logic of the law the status of the whistleblower must go through all the criminal proceedings until the verdict of the court or its appeal.

The whistleblower has general rights characteristic of the applicant, for example, to receive a document confirming the application’s acceptance and registration, receive an extract from the Register of Pre-trial Investigations. He has also special rights - the right to notify the authorized body about the start of the pre-trial investigation, the right to information about the progress of the pre-trial investigation, the right to remuneration. At the same time, it is not clear how the right to information about the state of the pre-trial investigation is consistent with the need to maintain the secrecy of the pre-trial investigation. The procedure does not provide for any obligations of the whistleblower. It is substantiated that the peculiarities of the procedural participation of the whistleblower in criminal proceedings are not properly regulated, in particular, the evidence is not provided by the whistleblower, and there are no criteria for determining the remuneration.

Key words: criminal proceedings, pre-trial investigation, whistleblower, applicant, confidential cooperation, witness.
CREATION OF NON-STATUTORY PARAMILITARY OR ARMED GROUPS (ARTICLE 260 OF THE CRIMINAL CODE OF UKRAINE): BASIC LEGAL POSITIONS OF THE SUPREME COURT.
Authors: Kvasha Oksana , Levchuk Vadim
Published: July 2022

This article focuses on problem related to the legal positions of the Supreme Court regarding an element of a crime provided for by Art. 260 “Creation of Militarized or Armed Formations Not Provided for by Law” of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. There were analyzed the dynamics of registered crimes provided for by Art. 260 of the present Code, the number of persons to whom were given notices of suspicion or they were convicted or acquitted, and the proceedings on which were closed during 2000-2005. The influence of dynamics on judicial practice is determined.

The article determines decisions of the Supreme Court that contain legal positions on the application of Art. 260 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. The rulings of the Supreme Court of March 26, 2018 in the proceeding № 423/519/15-k of October 17, 2018 in the proceeding № 428/6916/14-k concern when a person becomes a member of a militarized or armed formation not provided for by law and, respectively, when he or she can be prosecuted to criminal responsibility under Art. 260 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. These decisions state that the courts shall establish whether such a person has consented to participate in the activities of such a formation and whether he or she has taken an active part in its activities. In case specified circumstances are not established, criminal responsibility according to Art. 260 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine is excluded.

The rulings of the Supreme Court of 27 May 2020 in the proceeding № 296/2803/16-k and of 3 December 2020 in the proceeding № 310/686/17 contain a legal position regarding the qualification of the actions of a member of such a formation, which is a structural part of a terrorist organization “DNR” or “LNR”. The first decision states that the actions of a person shall be qualified in conjunction with Articles 260 and 258-3 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, and in the other one - under Art. 258-3 of this Code only. Based on the analysis of the legislation of Ukraine and scientific literature, it is proposed to qualify the actions of participants of militarized or armed formations not provided for by law, which are structural parts of the terrorist organizations “DNR” and “LNR”, under Art. 260 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.
SECURING AN ADMINISTRATIVE CLAIM: LIMITS OF THE COURT’S POWERS
Authors: Zadorozhnia Halina ZADOROZHNIA,
Published: July 2022

The article analyzes the architectonics of legislative changes, the subject of legal regulation of which is the institution of ensuring administrative claims by courts in Ukraine.

Securing an administrative lawsuit means a legally defined procedural mechanism, which consists in the use of a court in which an administrative case is pending, until its resolution of statutory measures to enable the actual implementation of future court decisions, if it is in favor of the plaintiff.

It has been established that the institution of securing an administrative claim is permanently and progressively narrowing significantly, as a number of public authorities have been removed from the subjective composition of its procedural distribution.

These are: the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the President of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the High Council of Justice, the High Qualification Commission of Judges of Ukraine and other state bodies. The practice of nation-building shows that the tendency to narrow the institution of securing an administrative claim is actively supported by national parliamentarians.

The change in the political situation in Ukraine after the removal of the head of state in February 2014 from his post in no way had a positive effect on preventing further «depletion» of the institution of administrative lawsuits, which led to «procedural weakening» of administrative courts, rather than strengthening them.

In view of such legislative changes, the powers of administrative courts in Ukraine in terms of their application of this important procedural institution, contrary to international requirements, are gradually decreasing. This means a proportional narrowing of the procedural rights and opportunities of the plaintiff and, as a consequence, the leveling of guarantees of ensuring the constitutional rights of man and citizen in Ukraine.

Key words: ensuring an administrative claim, the institution of procedural law, constitutional rights and guarantees of man and citizen

La aplicación controlada de CO2 y fertilizantes a través de partículas de liberación lenta, ha sido una estrategia innovadora y promisoria de fertilización para los cultivos, pues permite la liberación controlada de CO2 en el mesófilo de las hojas vía estomas o epidermis. Se evalúo el efecto de la aplicación de un producto enriquecido con CO2 en tres concentraciones diferenciales con base en la dosis óptima (TTO1-50%, TTO2-100% y TTO3-200%) en el contenido de biomasa seca, intercambio gaseoso, la Eficiencia real del Fotosistema II y la nutrición mineral en las plantas de café. Se asperjaron las plantas con una frecuencia de 15 días desde la emergencia del primer par de hojas verdaderas (30 DDS- BBHC12) hasta los seis meses (180 DDS-BBCH19) en almácigo estándar. Se cuantificó la biomasa total de 15 plantas por cada tratamiento y el control a los 180 DDS. No hubo evidencia estadística de diferencias significativas en el contenido de biomasa total (gl=3, 56; F= 0,669; p=0,575, ?=0,05). El intercambio gaseoso y la PSII fueron influenciados principalmente por la fenología, más que por la aplicación de los tratamientos (conductancia estomática- gs: p=2,85 x 10-5, tasa de asimilación neta- A: p=9,01 x 10-16, transpiración- E: p=8,63 x 10-4 y PSII: p=1,93 x 10-19). El contenido de macro y micronutrientes foliares del café fueron afectados tras la aplicación del CO2 carbonatado. La aplicación del producto carbonatado no aumentó el contenido de biomasa seca total de las plantas de café durante su establecimiento en almácigo estándar.
Lightcurves and Rotations of Trans-Neptunian Objects in the 2:1 Mean Motion Resonance with Neptune
Authors: Thirouin Audrey , Sheppard Scott S.
Published: July 2022

We report the rotational lightcurves of 21 trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) in Neptune’s 2:1 mean motion resonance obtained with the 6.5 m Magellan-Baade telescope and the 4.3 m Lowell Discovery Telescope. The main survey’s goal is to find objects displaying a large lightcurve amplitude that is indicative of contact binaries or highly elongated objects. In our sample, two 2:1 resonant TNOs showed a significant short-term lightcurve amplitude: 2002 VD130 and (531074) 2012 DX98. The full lightcurve of 2012 DX98 infers a periodicity of 20.80 ± 0.06 hr and amplitude of 0.56 ± 0.03 mag, whereas 2002 VD130 rotates in 9.85 ± 0.07 hr with a 0.31 ± 0.04 mag lightcurve amplitude. Based on lightcurve morphology, we classify (531074) 2012 DX98 as a likely contact binary but 2002 VD130 as a likely single elongated object. Based on our sample and the lightcurves reported in the literature, we estimate the lower percentage of nearly equal-sized contact binaries at only 7%–14% in the 2:1 resonance, which is comparable to the low fraction reported for the dynamically cold classical TNOs. This low contact binary fraction in the 2:1 Neptune resonance is consistent with the lower estimate of the recent numerical modeling. We report the Sloan g′, r′, and i′ surface colors of 2002 VD130, which is an ultra-red TNO whereas 2012 DX98 is a very red object based on published surface colors.

Authors: Adomako Isaac Agyekum , Venter Dalene , Sampane Donkor Eric , Engel-Hills Penelope
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Radiology is a technical service that provides medical imaging for all sectors of healthcare. Hospital-acquired infections (HAIs) is a major challenge in radiology and this is exacerbated in contexts where the healthcare system is unable to provide adequate funding and attention to effective infection control measures. The objectives of this study were to audit current cleaning procedures through the observation of practices in a radiology department, and to determine the types and numbers of nosocomial pathogens present on selected radiology imaging equipment and accessories before and after decontamination.

Methodology: In phase one we observed seven radiographers to audit cleaning procedures and practices. In phase two we collected swab samples from selected radiology imaging equipment and accessories and then cultured them for identification of microbes.

Results: It was observed that radiographers partially practiced infection control measures. This was due to the absence of documented protocol for infection control procedures. Our results indicated that all the selected equipment and accessories were contaminated with microorganisms pre- and post-cleaning. The identified microbes were Staphylococcus aureus, Coagulase negative Staphylococci (CoNS), Bacillus species (spp.), Shigella spp., Shigella sonnei., Klebsiella spp., Salmonella paratyphi A (S. paratyphi A), Salmonella typhi (S. typhi), Providencia rettgeri, Enterobacter spp. and Citrobacter spp. and Methicillin resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).

Conclusions: The research concluded that the recommended cleaning agents did not effectively reduce the number of microorganisms making the selected equipment and accessories fomites for nosocomial pathogens.

Published: July 2022

Introduction
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the most common gastrointestinal cancer with an important global health problem. The study aims were to evaluate the risk factors of colorectal cancer in chirurgical ward in Regional Durres Hospital in Albania during two years.
Methods
We conducted a retrospective cohort study to explore risk factors of Colorectal Cancer at the Surgical ward of the Regional Hospital Durres is the second largest and a referral hospital center in Albania. In this paper we have collected medical records of 79 adults 18 years of age and older with primary diagnosis of CRC admitted to this hospital during the periods January 2009 until to December 2010. Data were analyzed using the statistical package for social science (SPSS) version 23.0. A p < 0.05 was accepted as statistically significant.
Results
Overall, 79 patients with CRC enrolled in our study, the male (58.2%) was the most predominant gender compared to female (41.8%) with a strong significance between them χ2 =79.0 and p value <0.0001. The average age was 69.43 ±10.6 where the minimum age resulted 42 years old and the maximum 85 years old. Patients between the age group 61-70 years old were 29.1% of CRC cases, them with age group 71-80 years old presented the higher number of CRC 34.2% of cases. A strong significance association has been seen between the age groups and presence of CRC. In multivariate logistic regression we also found a significance association for some of the other risk factor for CRC like gender, aging, marital status, education level BMI and physical activity. The p value in all these risk factor resulted <0.05.
Conclusion
The prevalence of this malignancy in our study increases after the age of 60 years. Our study findings show that the presence of CRC was in strength association with some of risk factors. But the number of our patients were low, so based on our observations, we suggest future studies should involve a large number of patients and focus on better understanding mechanisms for some of these associations and presence of CRC risk.

La correspondance entre marchands ifrīqiyens et pisans au début du XIIIe siècle
Authors: Ouerfelli Mohamed
Published: July 2022

Le présent article se propose d’examiner les conditions, les circonstances et les modalités de la production d’un corpus de lettres expédiées au tout début du XIIIe siècle par des marchands tunisois à leurs homologues pisans pour traiter d’affaires commerciales, et surtout pour les inciter à reprendre leurs activités suspendues à la suite d’un acte de piraterie mené par des Pisans dans le port de Tunis. Ces lettres constituent un exemple original d’écriture marchande produite dans le cadre de relations commerciales entretenues entre l’Ifrīqiya et le monde latin. Elles ont été rédigées dans l’entourage du pouvoir par les services de la douane ou du gouverneur almohade de Tunis et expédiées dans un contexte précis, d’où les différences constatées par rapport à d’autres écritures, directes et pragmatiques, produites par des hommes d’affaires, comme le montrent les quittances rédigées par des membres de la communauté mudéjare de Valence et retrouvées dans les archives de la compagnie de Francesco di Marco Datini.
The present paper analyses the conditions, circumstances and terms of the production of a corpus of letters sent at the beginning of the XIIIth century by Tunis merchants to their Pisan counterparts in order to deal about trade businesses, but above all to prompt them to resume their activities, which had been suspended due to an act of piracy done by Pisans in Tunis harbour. These letters are an original example of trade writing produced within the framework of commercial relationship between Ifrīqiya and the Latin world. They have been written in the circle of the power by the customs house or by the almohad governor of Tunis, and sent in a particular context. This explain the differencies we can note with other writings, which are direct and pragmatic, produced by businessmen, as shown by the receipts written by members of the mudejar community of Valencia and found within the archives of the company of Francesco di Marco Datini.

Published: July 2022

El desarrollo económico la Corona de Aragón, y particular del Principado de Cataluña, encuentra en la institución notarial un punto de apoyo fundamental. Los notarios, uno de los vehículos más destacados de la renovación del derecho romano, aportarán soluciones jurídicas ensayando nuevas fórmulas. Este fenómeno no es exclusivo del ámbito catalán, puesto que ya se pone de manifiesto a finales del siglo XII en ciudades como Génova. En Cataluña muchos notarios de ciudades como Barcelona, tienen entre sus clientes a comerciantes y mercaderes. Y las tipologías documentales que se registran en los libros y manuales notariales responden a esta realidad económica: comandas, sociedades mercantiles, seguros marítimos o fletes de barcos. Incluso algunos notarios, ya a finales del siglo XIV, comienzan a generar registros exclusivos para algunas de estas tipologías. En este trabajo se presentan las tipologías documentales fruto de la actividad que desarrollan los notarios catalanes en las principales ciudades catalanas, el desarrollo de las fórmulas de los contratos, la clientela de las notarías y el volumen de negocio.
The economic development in the Crown of Aragon relies greatly on the notary institution. The public notaries will give legal solutions by testing new formulas. This phenomenon does not occur solely in the Catalan territory, since it manifests already in the late XIIth century in cities such as Genoa. In Catalonia many public notaries from cities like Barcelona have traders among their clients, and the types of documents registered in notary books and manuals meet this economic reality: orders, trading companies, marine insurance or boat charters. Even some public notaries, at the end of the XIVth century, began to create registers exclusively for one of these types of documents. In this paper we present the types of documents that resulted from the activity that the Catalan public notaries developed in the main Catalan cities, the development of formulas for contracts, the clientele base of public notaries, and the volume of business.

Le développement du commerce en Russie au Moyen Âge et au début de l’époque moderne est illustré par diverses sources écrites à caractère juridique. Les plus importantes d’entre elles sont de type contractuel (traités extérieurs et intérieurs, testaments, actes d’achat, de crédit et de baux), contractuel-législatif (octroi d’immunités douanières et statuts douaniers), législatif (à tous les niveaux), administratif (comptes rendus, quittances, factures, requêtes et suppliques, certificats de statuts personnels, essentiellement pour l’époque moderne), et comptable (registres de comptes de monastères et registres de douanes, à partir du XVIe siècle seulement).The development of trade in Russia in the Middle Ages and the early modern period is illustrated by diverse sources written with legal character. The most important of them are of many types: contractual (external and internal treatises, wills, acts of purchase, of credit and leases), contractual-legislative (granting of customs immunities and customs statuses), legislative (at every level), administrative (reports, receipts, requests and petitions, certificates of personal statuses, essentially of early modern period), and accountable (registers of accounts of monasteries and registers of customs, only from XVIth century onwards).

Currently, the necessity for GPS is evolved in each stage throughout several applications, due to the increasing number of applications related to GPS, the need for GPS receiver positioning is increasing in almost every field. This process is a bit like a nonlinear process. To get the exact position of the GPS receiver, the received signal is corrupted due to the many factors that must be rectified. Also, the error of satellite orbit is very important to determine the exact position of GPS device. These errors are minimized statistical signal processing and Adaptative filtering techniques are commonly applied to estimate the GPS receiver position. In this work, estimation of the receiver position is done through the Extended Kalman filter (EKF). The result of this study projects the efficiency of the Unscented Kalman filter (UKF) method which is better than EKF in tracking the GPS receiver position than the EKF.
A Text Analytics Framework for Performance Assessment and Weakness Detection From Online Reviews

Published: July 2022

Present research proposes a framework that integrates aspect-level sentiment analysis with multi-criteria decision making (TOPSIS) and control charts to uncover hidden quality patterns. While sentiment analysis quantifies consumer opinions corresponding to various product features, TOPSIS uses the sentiment scores to rank manufacturers based on their relative performance. Finally, U and P control charts assist in discovering the weak aspects and corresponding attributes. To extract aspect-level sentiments from reviews, we developed the ontology of passenger cars and designed a heuristic that connects the opinion-bearing texts to the exact automobile attribute. The proposed framework was applied to a review dataset collected from a well-known car portal in India. Considering five manufacturers from the mid-size car segment, we identified the weakest and discovered the aspects and attributes responsible for its perceived weakness.

Salinity is one of the environmental stresses that most cause losses in agricultural systems, including tomato production. Brassinosteroids, such as epibrassinolide (EBL), have multiple actions in essential processes in plants. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the contributions of EBL to the growth, physiology, and production of tomato plants under salinity. The experiment was conducted in a factorial scheme, with five levels of water salinity (0.5 [the control], 1.5, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 dS m-1) and two concentrations of EBL (0 and 10-6 M). Salt stress reduced tomato growth, relative water content, membrane integrity, gas exchange, and fruit production. However, the exogenous application of EBL attenuated the adverse effects, partially improving these characteristics at all salinity levels. EBL reduced electrolyte leakage and increased membrane integrity and relative water content in control and stressed plants. Additionally, it increased the content of photosynthetic pigments, stomatal conductance, transpiration, and photosynthesis, which led to higher leaf dry mass production, fruit transverse diameter, and production per plant. Therefore, our results confirmed that foliar application of EBL improved the characteristics of stressed and non-stressed tomato plants.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of replacement of corn with pre-dried cassava root silage (CRS) on intake, ingestive behavior, production and composition of goat milk. Five lactating Saanen goats were used, with 42.5 ± 4.2 kg body weight and production of 2 kg milk day-1, distributed in a 5 x 5 Latin square with five treatments: 0, 28.6, 58.0, 81.6 and 100% replacement of corn with CRS in the diet dry matter. Goats were monitored for five periods of 15 days each. The intake of dry matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber decreased linearly (p <0.05) with the replacement of corn with CRS. Feeding (348.5 ± 62.1 min.) and rumination (468.8 ± 83.8 min.) times were not influenced (p >0.05) by the replacement of corn with CRS, but the ingestion and rumination efficiencies had a linear increase (p > 0.05). Milk production (2.17 ± 0.45 kg day-1), fat (3.49 ± 0.42%), protein (3.11 ± 0.13%) and lactose (4.47 ± 0,11%) of goat milk were not influenced (p >0.05) by the replacement of corn with CRS. Therefore, it is recommended the total replacement of corn with pre-dried cassava root silage in the diet for dairy goats with an average production of 2 kg day-1.

This study aimed to carry out bioclimatic zoning based on the historical series of climatic variables such as air temperature, maximum, minimum and relative humidity collected in six conventional meteorological stations in the state of Paraíba, Brazil and from this to determine whether or not the animals are in thermal comfort by comparing with the results obtained in scientific research in each mesoregion in the rainy and dry periods. Then based on this the comfort conditions for small ruminants in the rainy and dry seasons of the mesoregions of Paraíba were observed using data from the literature, and demonstrated in spatial distribution maps. The variables air temperatures, maximum and minimum and relative humidity varied throughout the state for the rainy season between 22 to 27, 18 to 21, 25 to 31ºC and 64 to 82%, respectively, and in dry season is 23 to 27, 28 to 35, 19 to 23ºC and 49 to 76%, respectively. However, it is concluded that raising sheep and goats is viable in all mesoregions of the state of Paraíba in both periods

This study aimed to evaluate the productive performance and carcass characteristics of lambs fed diets with different types of carbohydrates associated with polyunsaturated fatty acids. Thirty castrated male lambs (20.5 ± 7.6 kg) were used, distributed in a randomized block design under three experimental diets: High proportion of non-fibrous carbohydrates (NFC) diet; High NFC diet + spineless cactus (high proportion of NFC and spineless cactus) and Low NFC diet (low proportion of NFC), in a 60 day experimental period. The variables of nutrient intake, performance, and carcass characteristics were evaluated. The animals fed the High NFC + spineless cactus diet presented a higher dry matter intake, organic matter, mineral matter, crude protein, and total carbohydrates intake (p <0.05). Carcass characteristics and weight of commercial cuts were improved in High NFC and High NFC + spineless cactus diets (p <0.05), on the other hand we observed a total fat weight reduction in animals fed with High NFC + spineless cactus. The results indicate that high levels of NFC positively influence animal performance, where the type of carbohydrate influences nutrient intake, also affecting carcass characteristics.
