THE RHIPAEAN MOUNTAINS ON THE EARLY PORTOLANS:INFLUENCE OF ANCIENT AND MEDIEVALTRADITIONAL CARTOGRAPHY?
Authors: Podossinov A.V. , Denisov A.O.
Published: December 2024

The portolan chartsbelong to the cartographic products that show almost no continuity in comparison with the previous ancient and medieval maps. Naval maps contain accurate data on the configuration of the coasts of the Mediterranean, Black and Azov Seas with much realistic information about cities, ports, rivers, mountains and other cartographic objects. Portolan charts drastically break with medieval traditional cartography with its religious, mythological and fantastic images. However, they include the Riphaean Mountains, which were one of the most important marker of the north of Eurasia in antiquity and the Middle Ages. It seems that the cartographical portolans could not get rid of this element that was so important in the mythological picture of the world there exist several maps that show some mountains that could be Riphaean. It confirms the proposition that naval maps have some common features to traditional ones. In our paper we show, how the ancient and medieval geography represented the Riphaean Mountains and which traits in the portolan charts could be considered as echos of the traditional European cartography.

Карты-портоланы почти не демонстрируют преемственности по сравнению с предшествующими античными и средневековыми картами. Морские карты содержат точные данные о конфигурации побережий Средиземного, Чёрного и Азовского морей с большим количеством реалистичной информации о городах, портах, реках, горах и других картографических объектах. Карты-портоланы резко порывают со средневековой традиционной картографией с её религиозными, мифологическими и фантастическими образами. Однако они включают в себя Рифейские горы, которые были одним из самых важных указателей севера Евразии в Античности и Средние века. Несколько карт показывают некие горы, которые могут быть Рифейскими. Встатье показано, как античная и средневековая география представляла Рифейские горы и какие черты карт-портоланов могли бы рассматриваться как отголоски традиционной европейской картографии.

Авторы анализируют медицинские представления и отношения врачей и пациентов первой трети XIX века. Стимулом к тому послужил задокументированный конфликт, который разбирала виленская врачебная управа в 1827 году. Благодаря этому в государственный архив попали жалоба пациента на частнопрактикующего семейного врача, не сумевшего спасти двух его детей от скарлатины, а также оправдание доктора, и экспертиза его действий со стороны медицинских чиновников. Уникальные свидетельства позволили реконструировать медицинские знания ученых врачей и медицинские представления пациентов, уровень доверия к научной медицине, условия частной медицинской практики в Виленской губернии.

The authors analyze the medical knowledge and interactions of physicians and patients during the first third of the XIX century. The challenge was the documented conflict that the medical council in Vilno city dealt with in 1827. Thanks to this, the patients complaint about a private family doctor who could not save two his kids from scarlet fever, as well as the doctors justification, and his actions by medical officials ended up in the state archive. Unique testimonies made it possible to reconstruct the research knowledge of medical scientists and patients medical representations, the level of confidence in scientific medicine, and the conditions of private medical practice in Vilno province.

Shear Bond Strength of Orthodontic Stainless Steel Bracket in Bovine Teeth Submitted to Bleaching Agents
Authors: Noronha Thiago Pompeu , Motta Rogério Heládio Lopes
Published: December 2024

The purpose of this in vitro study was to determine the influence of bleaching agents in the shear bond strength of orthodontic stainless steel bracket. The samples were composed by 90 bovine lower central incisors, which were divided into three groups named G1 (not submitted to bleaching), G2 (bleached with carbamide peroxide at 16%-Whiteness HP - FGM ®) and G3 (bleached with hydrogen peroxide at 35%-Whiteness HP, FGM ®). The teeth were stored in distilled water at a temperature of 37oC for 24 hours and 30 days was expected for the bonding of brackets Gemini 3M (3M - Unitek ®), after a wait period of 30 days the brackets were placed to all groups of samples, applied with the composite Transbond XT (3M/ESPE®). The shear bond test was performed in material testing machine EMIC DL 2000, carried under a deformation speed of 0.5 mm / min. The G1 presented an average strength of 6,05 (±3,47) MPa, while the G2 presented an average resistance of  2,52 (±1,69) MPa, and the G3 demonstrated 1,58 (±1,17) MPa. The results concluded that the dental bleaching induced, in the experimental model used, significant reduction of shear strength of brackets bonded to dental elements subjected to both in-home and in-clinic bleaching. These findings suggest that adherence of the resin used in the placement of the brackets was damaged by bleaching. Therefore, the most affected in the analysis of shear bond strength was first the in-clinic bleaching, followed by in-home bleaching and at last the control group and the greater the concentration of bleach is less shear strength. So it is suggested to perform the bleaching treatment after orthodontic treatment.

Published: December 2024

Context:Periodontitis is a complex disease in which disease expression involves intricate interactions of the biofilm with the host immune inflammatory response. Micronutrients like zinc, copper and selenium play an important role in antioxidant defense, immune regulation, and neutralization of the inflammation process at the cellular level. It has been reported that deficiencies of several macro and micronutrients adversely influence the prognosis of periodontal infections.

Aims:This study has been designed to estimate and compare the serum levels of micronutrients (zinc, copper and selenium) in healthy, gingivitis and periodontitis patients before and after non-surgical periodontal therapy.

Settings and Design: This study is a case-control study.

Methods and Material: The comprised of 75 patients who were divided into three groups - Group I consisting of 25 periodontally healthy subjects, Group II consisting of 25 subjects with chronic gingivitis and Group III consisting of 25 subjects with chronic periodontitis. Atomic absorption spectrophotometry method was used to measure the clinical level of selenium, zinc and copper in serum.

Statistical analysis used: One way ANOVA with Tukey Post-Hoc test and Paired t-test was used.

Results: Results show highly significant increase in copper levels and decrease in zinc and selenium levels in periodontitis group compared to the control. There is an increase in the zinc and decrease in copper pre and post treatment levels.

Conclusions: Imbalance of Zinc, copper and selenium levels in the serum can predispose an individual to the risk of developing periodontitis.

Background: Intravesical Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine instillation is widely used for the treatment of superficial bladder cancer. While mild non-infectious problems have mostly been reported with intravesical BCG instillation, significant local and systemic complications, albeit low, have also been documented. Macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) is a potentially serious condition characterized by a hyperinflammatory state occurring secondary to infections, malignancies, and autoimmune diseases. Intravesical BCG is internalized into tumor cells, initiating local and systemic immune responses, leading to MAS.

Case Summary: We report the case of a 61-year-old male patient with high-grade papillary bladder carcinoma who was diagnosed with macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) in association with Mycobacterium bovis (M bovis) cystitis following the fifth dose of intravesical BCG instillation. He was put on high-dose oral steroids prednisolone 1mg/kg/day for MAS along with antitubercular targeting M bovis infection. There was a dramatic clinical responsefrom Day 7 of treatment with a drastic reduction in serum ferritin levels from day 12. There are only 6 cases of MAS in association with intravesical BCG instillation reported in the literature to date. All were male patients with the median age being 67 years which was similar to our patients age. Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) (5/6, 83.33%), high-dose steroids (6/6, 100%), and antitubercular drugs (2/6, 33.33%), Vinblastine (1/6, 16.66%) were used in these cases for the treatment of the same.

Conclusion: The diagnosis of MAS in a setting of intravesical BCG immunotherapy requires a high index of suspicion as MAS has been rarely found to be associated with BCG therapy and there is an increased risk of mortality when this condition remains untreated.
THE THEMATIC STUDY OF THREE SELECT POEMS BY ANJU
Authors:   PhD Research Scholar, Department of Bodo, Gauhati University, Guwahati, Assam, India-781014., Basumatary Jewsnrang
Published: December 2024

Theme is the main or central idea in any piece of writing or artwork. Anju began as a writer when she was 13 years old, and her writing abilities have continued to improve and become more excellent and polished to the present day. She is considered one of the most notable and eminent female Bodo poets. Anjus poetry depicts love, sadness, culture, race, nationality, ecstasy, concern, expectation, hope, grief, ageing, self-awareness, good versus evil, religion, family, desire, identity, dreams, rights, womens empowerment, humanism, nature, social change, and speaking up for the weak. She holds the belief that we should treat all human beings, regardless of gender, with respect and dignity. She believes the only person who truly suffers from issues and tensions is the one who knows it best. Nobody helps others without their own personal enrichment. An essential element of Anjus poetry is the way in which the poet fits a description of human civilization and its dynamic characters. Her illustrative explanation of the poems is truly amazing, conjuring up lovely images in our minds. Most of the poems by Anju present events that are taking place in the real world and in our society. The poet has dedicated the poem Ang mabwrwidong daswng to all of the women in the world who are suffering from loneliness, misery, suppression, oppression, or any other forms of sorrow that deprive them of their basic needs or rights. She frequently questioned why society does not grant women equal rights or status. The poem Iyun focuses on the women who work in the marketplace, highlighting their modest yet hopeful aspirations. They simply sell foods, vegetables, and other items related to meeting their most basic needs. Dinwiangnithwinaisanhas concentrated on the truth, emphasizing its unchanging nature and the fact that no one can conceal or eradicate it.

E-cigarettes, often perceived as a safer alternative to traditional smoking, have rapidly gained popularity worldwide. While much attention has been focused on their respiratory and cardiovascular effects, the dermatological implications of e-cigarette use remain underexplored. This article delves into the potential skin-related manifestations associated with vaping, drawing attention to conditions such as contact dermatitis, exacerbation of pre-existing skin disorders, and delayed wound healing. Additionally, we examine the role of chemical components in e-cigarette aerosols, such as propylene glycol, glycerin, and flavoring agents, which may contribute to skin irritation and inflammation. Emerging evidence also suggests a possible link between vaping and systemic effects that impact skin health, including altered immune responses and microvascular changes. By shedding light on these dermatological concerns, this review underscores the need for increased awareness among dermatologists, clinicians, and e-cigarette users. Further research is essential to establish definitive causal relationships and develop targeted interventions for managing these conditions.

Reinterpreting historical eras in film adaptations allows for the creative reshaping of past events, figures, and cultures to resonate with contemporary audiences. Filmmakers often blend historical accuracy with artistic expression, using historical settings as a platform to comment on modern societal dynamics, power structures, and cultural questions. In particular, historical contexts are frequently utilized to reinforce specific film genres, such as comedy. This paper explores the satirical portrayal of the Ottoman Empire in P. Ramlees film TigaAbdulwith the direct translation being Three Abdul(1964), a seminal work that adapts historical motifs to enhance its comedic narrative. Utilizing qualitative content analysis and cultural discourse methods, this study examines how P. Ramlee integrates elements of Ottoman culture and civilization into the films settings, characters, and narratives. Employing Roland Barthes semiotic analysis, the research deconstructs these cinematic elements to uncover the symbolic and satirical reinterpretations of Ottoman motifs. Findings reveal that P. Ramlees adaptation not only reflects the historical grandeur of the Ottoman Empire but also recontextualizes it as a satirical commentary, thereby amplifying the films comedic impact. This study highlights P. Ramlees innovative use of historical reimagination to engage audiences and sustain the relevance of comedic narratives across temporal and cultural boundaries.

La reelección de Nayib Bukele: un análisis desde el discurso de la prensa y el concepto de polémica
Authors: Ávalos-Rivera Alexia-Raquel
Published: December 2024

2024 fue un año de elecciones para El Salvador. El 4 de febrero se eligieron presidente, vicepresidente y diputados de la Asamblea Legislativa. Mientras que el 3 de marzo, se eligieron titulares de alcaldías, concejos municipales y miembros del Parlamento Centroamericano. El presente artículo pretende responder a la pregunta ¿de qué manera las categorías de dicotomización, polarización ideológica y descalificación del adversario en los discursos públicos sobre la reelección presidencial de Nayib Bukele, mostraron la construcción de una modalidad discursiva conocida como polémica? A nivel teórico-metodológico se emplea el concepto de polémica desde la visión de Ruth Amossy (2017) y el “análisis crítico del discurso” de Van-Dijk (2003). La investigación parte de un paradigma cualitativo y un análisis de tipo interpretativo, con un material empírico que corresponde a notas de prensa en su versión digital, y en ellas, se manifiestan posicionamientos institucionales, tuits y declaraciones de actores involucrados. Se concluyó que la reelección de Bukele se posicionó como una modalidad discursiva llamada polémica y esta versó, entre otras cosas, sobre la ilegalidad e inconstitucionalidad por parte de los sectores opositores, y como una continuidad de mandato y respeto a la democracia popular por parte de sectores aliados; esto en un entorno de aparentes elecciones razonablemente limpias y competitivas.

El 3 de julio de 1955 es una fecha histórica para México ya que después de una larga lucha las mujeres emitieron el voto por primera vez. 69 años después, en 2024, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo gana la elección presidencial. Sheinbaum, al ser la primera mujer electa en un cargo de tal importancia, resulta relevante determinar el tratamiento que realizó en su campaña en la red sociodigital X en cuanto a perspectiva de género. Examinamos dicha red a través del análisis de contenido con enfoque cualitativo y cuantitativo. A pesar de que en la mayor parte de sus mensajes mantiene un lenguaje incluyente y sin sexismo, cabe mencionar que también en escasas publicaciones menciona a las mujeres y no siempre en un rol principal, situación que las mantiene en una esfera de invisibilidad.
Alternative Dispute Resolution System of the World Intellectual Property Organization
Authors: Bilous Serhii
Published: December 2024

The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that in 2022 Ukraine established a new National Intellectual Property Authority, which, among other things, is engaged in the development of a national system of alternative dispute resolution in the field of intellectual property. The purpose of the article is to provide a general overview of the WIPO alternative dispute resolution procedures and their applicability to intellectual property disputes. The purpose of the article is to form the prerequisites for further study of the prospects for introducing an alternative dispute resolution system in Ukraine based on the WIPO experience. The study uses general scientific (dialectical and empirical) and special legal methods (legal comparative and formal legal). The article examines the WIPO regulations, the experience of several countries in establishing national alternative dispute resolution systems based on the WIPO example, memoranda and agreements concluded between WIPO and the authorized bodies of Ukraine, and WIPO statistics on the functioning of the dispute resolution system. The author examines the general characteristics of the three main alternative dispute resolution procedures: arbitration, mediation and expert determination. The results of the study demonstrate the high efficiency of the procedures of the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Centre, as well as the sustainable rise of their popularity among the subjects of legal relations in the field of intellectual property. The study shows that WIPO's experience is gradually being implemented in a significant number of developing countries and occupies a significant place in the dispute resolution system. The study concludes that it is advisable to continue the creation and development of the specialised institutions for alternative dispute resolution in Ukraine, in particular on the basis of UANIPIO. Further research in this area may contribute to the creation and development of an alternative dispute resolution system based on the best practices and positive experience of WIPO and countries that already have experience in development of the similar dispute resolution systems.
Trust in electronic voting: the Estonian case
Authors: Pavshuk Kateryna
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to researching the problem of creating and using such a transparent and secure voting technology, which would not only have a high level of trust, but also the potential to strengthen the legitimacy of constitutional orders, using the example of the 2023 Estonian parliamentary elections. The relevance of the topic is due to the fact that for Ukraine the use of electronic election technologies, in particular electronic voting itself, especially now, is the most discussed near future. It is organically connected with amendments to the election and referendum legislation of Ukraine. The subject of the study is electronic voting, establishing its results and the procedure for contesting them in Estonian electoral practice. The purpose of the article is to refute or confirm the thesis about the ability of electronic voting to have such a support and level of trust that it can completely replace the traditional way of voting, using the example of the Estonian experience. The research uses the method of analysis and synthesis of scientific information, empirical and dialectical methods of scientific knowledge. The model of electronic voting, counting of votes and their appeal was studied. It has been established that the legislation lays the foundation for falsifications with the use of broad discretionary powers of the electoral process administration bodies. The main factors that can undermine confidence in the institution are analyzed. Among them are the questionable constitutionality of the powers of the central administrative bodies, the lack of independent observers of the internal work of the electronic voting system, and significant shortcomings in the procedure for contesting the results. Special attention is paid to analytical studies, judicial practice is analyzed. It was found that in order to increase the transparency of the elections, it is necessary to use end-to-end verification methods and ensure quality audit at all critical stages of determining the results of online voting. An interim conclusion was made about the impracticality of completely replacing the traditional paper method of voting with a remote one, at least in the near term, due to insufficient security guarantees.
Problematic issues of introduction and implementation of martial law measures affecting the administrative and legal status of citizens
Authors: Korentsov Oleksandr
Published: December 2024

The article provides a systematic analysis of the provisions of the Law of Ukraine No. 389-VIII "On the Legal Regime of Martial Law" (hereinafter – Law No. 389-VIII), particularly focusing on the measures under the legal regime of martial law that directly impact the administrative and legal status of citizens during the period of martial law and It examines the application of these measures in the context of their compliance with the norms of the Constitution of Ukraine and international legal instruments ratified by Ukraine, which establish fundamental human and civil rights. The aim of the article is to analyze the impact of legal measures under martial law on the administrative and legal status of citizens during the period of martial law, in the context of their compliance with the norms of the Constitution of Ukraine and
international legal instruments. The article explores the factors and conditions that, under the martial law regime, affect citizens; rights and obligations. It is noted that when introducing and implementing martial law measures, it is necessary to take into account not only their presence in the law, but also the ways of their application, and the author concludes that if the introduction and implementation of martial law measures violate or potentially violate fundamental human rights and freedoms, which, according to the Constitution of Ukraine (Article 64, Part 2) and international legal acts, cannot be restricted under any circumstances, then such measures should not be applied. The validity of this conclusion is supported by the fact that most of the measures under the legal regime of martial law, which restrict citizens; rights and may be implemented according to Law No. 389-VIII, have not been applied in Ukraine during the period of martial law. The article emphasizes that Law No. 389-VIII requires substantial amendments, particularly regarding the grounds for its implementation and the introduction of most martial law measures that restrict citizens; rights or impose new obligations on them, which should be excluded from the law, since they cannot be applied without violating the rights and freedoms of a person who, for one reason or another, refuses to comply with them, i.e. they can be implemented only with the consent of the person whose rights are restricted, which is consistent with the provisions of Article 22 of Law No. 389-VIII, according to Part 1 of which "the introduction of martial law cannot serve as a basis for the use of torture, cruel, or degrading treatment or punishment». The study employs both specialized and general scientific methods of inquiry, including the dialectical, historical, formal-logical, systemic analysis, and dogmatic methods.

Among these, artificial intelligence (AI) is the most popular, increasingly integrated into various business practices. The capacity of this technology to process large volumes of data has made it indispensable for businesses, driving efficiency and innovation across sectors. Despite the benefits of these technologies, AI technology often compromises employee rights due to biased automated decision-making and pervasive monitoring processes. In response, the European Commission took a decisive step to protect platform workers with its proposal for the Directive on Improving Working Conditions in Platform Work (2021/0414 COD). This directive aims to ensure fairness, transparency, and accountability within digital labour platforms by introducing four crucial measures designed to counteract biased decision-making and intrusive monitoring in its algorithmic management chapter. However, one of these measures “social dialogue” remains abstract. This paper proposes a blockchain-based AI feedback loop model: DAO-based Society-In-The-Loop (DAO-SITL) Model to concrete this key measurement by redesigning the Society-In-The-Loop (SITL) framework through Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) governance approach.
Mediation in Public-Law Disputes: an Innovative Approach to the Protection of Human Rights
Authors: Kostina Diana
Published: December 2024

The relevance of the research topic is explained by the need to improve instruments for resolving public law disputes in the context of new challenges in the field of human rights protection. Mediation attracts attention as a potentially effective tool for resolving such disputes, especially when traditional judicial procedures do not provide sufficient fairness and efficiency, thereby reducing citizens’ trust in the judicial system. The use of mediation promotes more effective implementation of constitutional provisions and offers new mechanisms for the protection of citizens’ rights, ensuring flexibility and an individual approach to each specific dispute. The purpose of the research is to analyse mediation as a tool for resolving public law disputes and to determine its role and effectiveness in protecting human rights in Ukraine. Achieving this goal was made possible through the use of scientific methods, in particular, the systemic method (to consider mediation as a holistic phenomenon within the legal system), the formal-legal method (to analyse the relevant legal acts), the methods of analysis and synthesis (to detail specific aspects of the problem and generalise the obtained data), and the method of generalisation (to form general conclusions and recommendations). The research results showed that mediation has significant potential to improve the process of resolving public law disputes and to enhance the level of human rights protection. Its application facilitates faster and more efficient conflict resolution, reduces financial and time costs, and helps preserve relationships between the parties, contributing to the development of a culture of peaceful dispute settlement. The introduction of mediation into Ukrainian legal practice can significantly increase the effectiveness of citizens’ rights protection and trust in state institutions. Further scientific research includes the development of specific recommendations for the regulatory support of mediation in public law disputes in Ukraine, adaptation of best international practices to the national context, analysis of potential obstacles, and ways to overcome them. Research into the effectiveness of mediator training and raising citizens’ awareness of mediation possibilities can facilitate the wider implementation of this tool.
Biological Security: Current Trends in Legal Regulation and Contemporary Challenges
Authors: Tulina Elbis
Published: December 2024

This article examines the legal provision of biological security as an essential element of environmental security. It analyzes various scientific approaches to defining the concept of "biological security," including researchers' perspectives on its components and significance for health and the environment. The importance of adopting a broad approach in legislation to define the term "biological security" is justified. Domestic legislation on biological security is reviewed, with a focus on the Law of Ukraine "On the State System of Biological Security in the Creation, Testing, Transportation, and Use of Genetically Modified Organisms" as the foundation for legal regulation in this area. It is noted that the Biosafety and Biological Security Strategy, approved by the Presidential Decree of Ukraine in 2021, is one of the most important strategic documents in the field of biological security. Based on the provisions of this Strategy and other legal acts, the main biological threats in Ukraine are identified, which include, among others, invasive alien species, genetically modified organisms, infectious diseases, antibiotic resistance, and ecological changes that directly affect human, animal, and ecosystem health. The existing threats necessitate a comprehensive approach to regulation and control. The Strategy notably enumerates all potential biological threats for the first time at the legislative level, representing a significant advancement. It is argued that the establishment of a clear legislative framework contributes to effective management in combating all biological threats. The conclusion emphasizes the need for further improvement of legal regulation in the field of biological security and biological protection.

Constitutional justice and the realization of the key values of constitutionalism
Authors: Arnold Rainer
Published: December 2024

Judges play a pivotal role in contemporary constitutionalism, interpreting both ordinary laws and the Constitution. Their role involves fully realizing the Constitution's intent and safeguarding it through judicial mechanisms. Judges must approach the Constitution as a living document, integrating its evolving dynamics into their jurisprudence. This requires employing a teleological approach, seeking the Constitution's objective intent as understood at the time of interpretation, independent of the framers' historical perspectives.
Judges, particularly constitutional judges, must consider the Constitution's core value system—human dignity, freedom, and equality—and integrate these principles into their interpretations. The Constitution encompasses unwritten laws, and revealing these is essential to judicial interpretation. Conflicts between constitutional values should be resolved through the principle of practical concordance.
Judges also serve an internationalization function, considering the influence of inter- and supranational law as envisioned by the Constitution. National fundamental rights should be interpreted in alignment with regional and universal human rights frameworks.
Constitutional Doctrine of Ukraine: Problems of Legalization, Transformation, and Europeanization
Authors: Letnyanchin Lybomir
Published: December 2024

The discussion in Ukrainian constitutional law indicates a rather restrained assessment of the current state of Ukraine’s constitutional doctrine. However, this does not prevent the author from asserting that, after more than a quarter of a century of activity by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine, it is now possible to speak of certain achievements, particularly in the application and development of doctrines established in Western democracies. These include, in particular, constituent power and the supremacy of the constitution, as well as other constitutional and legal doctrines. While these doctrines are far from complete, the contours of those that are still in the stage of formation and development, as well as some promising ones, are already visible.
To ensure that the process of forming Ukraine’s constitutional doctrine has a consistent, systematic character, and to increase its legal significance and normative weight (power), the article supports the legislative initiative of Ukrainian parliamentarians regarding the legalization of the category "constitutional doctrine of Ukraine." This should be understood in a narrow sense, as a product of the activities of a constitutional jurisdiction body embodied in legal positions. At the same time, the latest version of the draft law, which completely nullifies all progressive achievements in this area during the last post-reform period, was critically evaluated.
Currently, Ukraine’s official constitutional doctrine is influenced by both American and European constitutional paradigms. This influence is clearly visible in the consistent endorsement of freedom and human dignity as fundamental constitutional values by the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. This is the case even though freedom is not directly defined as a value by the Constitution of Ukraine. It is important to note that freedom and human dignity are values from different legal systems (traditions): American (Anglo-Saxon) and European (especially German), respectively. The question of their mutual coexistence can be the subject of discussions and even disputes.
Regarding the value of human dignity, the position of the constitutional jurisdiction body is closely aligned with prevailing views on the European continent. The category of freedom acquired constitutional status due to the official interpretation of the Constitution of Ukraine by the body of constitutional control, particularly in relation to human rights and freedoms. Now, it is time for its full approval, but in a different capacity. This pertains to the freedom of the Ukrainian people, which is being forged on the battlefield during this historic period.
Dancing Glycoproteins: Memory Pattern Formation by Protein Folding through Hydrogen Bonding

A considerable amount of work has been carried out on the biology of learning and memory acquisition, and
retention [1-6]; however, little is known regarding how the information is written in the brain [7-9]. It is notable
that in the Neuron Theory postulated by Santiago Ramón y Cajal [10], neurons were conceived to form a contiguous
instead of a continuous structure. They were physically separated but could function through their connections
by synapses [11]. The electric impulses are initiated by the presynaptic neurons and transmitted through a
synapse to the postsynaptic neuron, and they then travel toward the axon. A considerable amount of work on the
molecular and cellular mechanisms has been undertaken in this fast-evolving field [11-16].
IDENTIFICATION AND GENETIC DIVERSITY OF PINEAPPLE LOCAL ACCESSIONS FROM KEDIRI AND CLOSELY RELATED SPECIES (BROMELIACEAE) BASED ON matK GENE

Published: December 2024

Ananas comosus L. belongs to the Bromelliaceae family and has around 8 subfamilies. Accessions of local pineapple have spread widely in several areas, one of which is in Kediri. However, some accessions and closely related species (Bromeliaceae) likely remain poorly understood. The highly diverse morphological characters and low levels of sequence divergence in Bromeliaceae have been problematic in resolving the reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships. This study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of the matK gene as a DNA barcode to determine genetic diversity and reconstruct a phylogenetic tree in local pineapple and closely related species (Bromeliaceae). A total of 15 specimens were used in this research, of which 7 were local pineapple accessions from Kediri and 8 were closely related species from the Bromeliaceae family. Whole genome DNA was isolated using a Tiangen kit and amplified using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique using a specific primer. The results showed that matK was easily amplified with a DNA fragment length of 750-800 bp. The average composition value of each base was 36.9% T (U) bases, 30.1% in A bases, 15.9% in G bases, and 17.1% in C. BLAST analysis of the sequences showed that all samples were confirmed and identified according to the species names spread across local pineapple production areas (with query cover of 96-98%). However, the species names registered in the PBG database were confirmed to be different species but still in the same genus, i.e., samples B9-B14. The phylogenetic relationship analysis distinguished each accession into 2 large clades according to sub-families, i.e., Bromelioideae and Pitcairnioideae. This research shows that the matK gene is suitable and recommended as a DNA barcode for local pineapple and closely related species.
