The constitutional right to daily and weekly rest in a theoretical and cognitive perspective
Authors: Kucharski Olgierd
Published: September 2024

This article deals with the analysis of the constitutional right to rest in terms of the theoretical-cognitive concept of I. Kant. It makes it possible to distinguish and organise two levels of understanding of the right to rest. The first understanding is related to the necessity of ensuring the regeneration of the worker's strength, which results from his physiology. In this respect, we come to know such needs by treating man as a phenomenon, for which Kantian pure reason is used, and is related to the ordering role played by the apriori form of time. The second level of understanding the right to uninterrupted rest is closely related to the meaning of the existing legal provisions introducing such arrangements. It is based on practical reason and the categories of freedom and duty to guarantee as much freedom as possible, which directly relates to the categorical imperative. The right torest enshrined in Article 66(2) of the Constitution of the Republic of Poland enables the reconstruction of the values described above and referring to the protective and organisational function of rest during working time.

Biosorption of Methylene Blue into Pumpkin Seed: Isotherm, Kinetic and Thermodynamics Studies
Authors: Küçük İlhan
Published: September 2024

This work has demonstrated the potential utility of raw pumpkin seed shells (PSS) as a low-cost solid adsorbent for methylene blue (MB) adsorption. PSS have investigated surface functional groups with FTIR (after and before adsorption), crystal structure with XRD, and surface morphology with SEM-EDX. Biosorption parameters were examined contact time, pH, solution temperature, and initial concentration. This research was conducted to analyze adsorption processes involved in adsorption of MB onto crude PSS by gaining essential knowledge from the study of equilibrium adsorption kinetics, isotherms, and thermodynamics. It was determined whether four models-Langmuir, Temkin, Freundlich, and D-R models-fit experimental data derived from adsorption isotherms. In addition, the accuracy of fits of three models to experimental data derived from adsorption kinetics were tested, namely, the Elovich, pseudo-first order, and pseudo-second order models. Biosorption of MB on PSS is exothermic and spontaneous according to thermodynamic analysis. FTIR (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy) studies show significant changes in the absorption values, shapes and positions of bands both before and after solute adsorption. It was found that there are two MB adsorption mechanisms: electrostatic attraction and hydrogen bonding.
Enhancing Radar Image Classification with Autoencoder-CNN Hybrid System
Authors: Uçar Kürşad
Published: September 2024

The tracking, analysis, and classification of human movements can be crucial, particularly in areas such as elderly care, healthcare, and infant care. Typically, such tracking is done remotely with cameras. However, radar systems have emerged as significant methods and tools for these tasks due to their advantages such as privacy, wireless operation, and the ability to work through walls. By converting reflected radar signals from targets into images, human activities can be classified using powerful classification tools like deep learning. In this study, range-Doppler images of behind-the-wall human movements obtained with a radar system consisting of one transmitter and four receiver antennas were classified. Since the data collected from the four receiver antennas are in different positions, the collected reflection signals also differ. The signals collected with the range-time matrix content were divided into positive and negative parts, resulting in eight images from the four antennas. Instead of using all the data in CNN training, the images were first subjected to a reconstruction process with an autoencoder to reduce differences. As a result, it was observed that reconstructing the images with an autoencoder before classification with CNN increased the classification success. In conclusion, it was observed that the classification success of radar images can be increased by using a hybrid system with an autoencoder to reconstruct the images before classification with CNN.

Published: September 2024

Reinforced concrete building is a type of building whose structural system consists of reinforced concrete columns, beams, wall wall, slabs and foundations. Due to the strong earthquakes in our country, it has been observed that reinforced concrete buildings have been severely damaged or collapsed from past to present. The evaluation of buildings after earthquakes and their performances are quite important for the safety of life and property. In the literature, different methods have been developed for post-earthquake evaluation of buildings, either low-cost and fast or slow and high-cost and tool-demanding. In this study, in order to overcome the gap in the literature, the evaluation of earthquake performance of buildings with fuzzy logic method is discussed. In this context, the performance of the building was evaluated by taking into account the concrete compressive strength, number of floors, ground floor area, area of column and shear walls, ground floor area and architectural parameters. The data of 18, 28 and 146 buildings affected by the earthquakes in Afyon, Bingöl and Van provinces in 2002, 2003 and 2011, respectively, were used in the study. Out of the total 192 building data, 94 buildings were processed as data and fuzzy logic rules were applied. The remaining 98 buildings were tested with this method. The buildings considered are light, moderate and severely damaged or collapsed. Matlab program was used in the study. The method and result used in the study are in the class of fast and second stage methods in the literature, which are reliable but do not reflect the final result. With the method revealed in the study, the damage status of reinforced concrete buildings can be determined quickly and reliably. In this context, the buildings were evaluated as no damage/slight, moderate and severely damaged or collapsed. According to the results, the correct estimation rate of the damage status of 98 buildings was found to be 88%. It is seen that the fuzzy logic method can predict building performances at a quite high rate. Compared to the existing second stage assessment methods in the literature, this result is more conservative.

Published: September 2024

Cortisol, known as the body's stress hormone, regulates metabolism, inflammation, and the immune system. It affects various bodily systems such as the nervous, immune, cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive, and musculoskeletal systems. Normal sweat cortisol levels range from 8 to 142 ng/ml, with elevated levels indicating stress (200 ng/ml in women, 500 ng/ml in men).

This study focuses on colorimetric cortisol analysis using a microfluidic layer to collect sweat samples. Samples are mixed with a specific color reagent. Cortisol levels are quantitatively analyzed using Z-Score values and RGB channel density via photographs taken with the ESP 32 module. The aim is to determine cortisol levels, aiding in diagnosing conditions like Cushing's syndrome and Addison's Disease, leveraging wearable technology.

The developed system integrates a microcontroller into the wearable microfluidic system for cortisol measurements throughout the day. Data is displayed and recorded on a computer for streamlined cortisol monitoring.

The blue tetrazolium method used offers stable colors and rapid reactions (10 minutes). The Limit of Detection (LOD) is 0.3 ug/mL, with a detection limit of 1.1 ug/mL. Combined with the ESP 32 Cam module, the system detects cortisol concentrations from 0.8 – 60 ug/mL.

Determining the Suction Capacity of Compacted Clays with Fuzzy-Set Theory
Authors: Çimen Ömür , Keskin Nilay
Published: September 2024

Water suction capacity is an important parameter affecting the swelling properties and volumetric change of soil. Determination of the water suction capacity is made by the experiments which are needed long time in laboratory. However, this has random errors due to the heterogeneous and anisotropic structure of soil sample together with the error caused by the operator made the experiment. Such an estimation problem, included the errors, may be easily solved with the fuzzy-set theory. In this study, the suction capacity of compacted clayey soils is predicted with the fuzzy-set theory. For this reason, the engineering properties of clayey soil (plasticity index, dry density, initial water content and suction capacity) are partitioned into fuzzy subsets, and fuzzy rules are formed. Later, a computer program in the Fortran language is written to estimate the suction capacity of compacted clayey soil from these properties. It is shown that there is a good similarity between the results of the tests and proposed fuzzy logic model.
Legal Protection of Copyright Works and Complex Intellectual Property Objects on Social Networks: Court Practice Issues
Authors: Grin E. S.
Published: September 2024

The paper examines modern approaches of court practice in order to determine the legal nature of complex intellectual property objects, as well as creative outputs generated on social networks. The author analyzes the Judicial Review of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation 2024 and the practice of the Intellectual Property Rights Court, devoted to topical issues of judicial protection of creative outputs on the Internet, as well as doctrinal sources, foreign experience on the issues under consideration. A legal analysis of complex intellectual property objects, ways of using them on the Internet, as well as gaps in legislative regulation in this area is carried out. The issues of the legal status of the information intermediary, the definition of the violator in social networks, especially on telegram channels, as well as the possibilities and criteria for the application of interim measures in case of violation of copyright and related rights are considered separately. In addition, cases and examples from law enforcement practice are considered when the copyright holder may, at their discretion, allow or prohibit other persons from using the result of intellectual activity or a means of individualization, since the absence of a ban is not considered consent (permission), which is a frequent violation, especially on the Internet.
Bilateral Lawsuits (Actio Duplex): From Roman Civil Procedure to Modern Russian Procedural Realities
Authors: Karpova A. A.
Published: September 2024

This paper is a study on the so-called bilateral claims (actio duplex) of the Roman civil procedure in the context of their interpretation by scientists of the second half of the 19th — early 20th century. The author has scrutinized the monograph of E. Eck devoted to bilateral lawsuits. The monographs provides detailed conclusions of the scientist, who believed that as such the model of bilateral lawsuits was not typical for either the Roman or the civil procedure of his time. The paper also analyzes the current state of affairs in the theory of civil procedure in relation to these claims, and substantiates the law enforcement needs for the formation of a special approach to such phenomena. In the first part of the paper, we are talking about how ideas about bilateral claims of the Roman civil procedure developed mainly in German science by the beginning of the 20th century. In the second part of the article, the author concentrates on Eck’s monograph on the so-called bilateral lawsuits and sets out his views based on the study of Roman primary sources and their subsequent analysis. Eck’s arguments are also described in detail. This is about the non-dual nature of claims for the division of common property. The third part of the article focuses on modern Swiss civil procedure and Russian procedural realities. As a result, the author formulates a number of signs of claims related to the so-called bilateral award, which allow them to be considered as a separate legal phenomenon.

Authors: Revenko Natalya A. , Kaladze Nikolai N. , Aleshina Olga K. , Revenko Olga A. , Polonevich Tatiana V.
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND: Chronic non-communicable cardiovascular diseases, including hypertension, started in childhood and adolescence. The presence and severity of early arterial changes is associated with the presence and severity of standard risk factors. Structural and functional disorders of the vascular bed in hypertension are represented by dysfunction of the compensatory dilating ability of the endothelium, a violation of the thickness of the intima-media complex of the common carotid arteries and a violation of the humoral, metabolic and myogenic regulation of vascular tone.
AIM: To assess the severity of endothelial dysfunction and determine the significance of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in its development in children with hypertension and metabolic syndrome.
Materials and methods: 122 children with hypertension were examined. Along with a complete clinical, laboratory and instrumental examination, the concentration of TGF-β and ET-1 in the blood serum was determined.
RESULTS: It was found that endothelial dysfunction was detected in children with hypertension, most pronounced in children with hypertension and metabolic disorders, the level of which increases with stabilization of the disease. Assessment is given as to possible development and progression of the disease and its favorable course depending on the dynamics of TGF-β profiles. Positive statistically significant correlations were obtained between the level of ET-1 and body mass index, waist circumference, blood pressure, and disease duration.
CONCLUSIONS: The revealed results suggest that endothelial dysfunction in children with hypertension is involved in the formation and progression of hypertension and metabolic syndrome against the background of chronic inflammation processes.

Published: September 2024

В условиях нарастания и углубления санкций, которые затронули все регионы России, большая часть из них демонстрируют способность к адаптации и развитию в новых условиях, опираясь на федеральную поддержку, десятилетний опыт функционирования экономики в условиях санкций, инициативы бизнеса и опыт вариативной приспособляемости населения к сложным условиям. Сделан вывод о том, что перспективы социально-экономического развития регионов во многом зависят от обеспечивающей процесс институциональной среды, от сопряжения федеральных и региональных усилий по обеспечению эффективности антисанкционных мер, а также от способности экономики региона к инновациям. Социально-экономическое развитие регионов России в условиях санкций – сложный и неоднозначный процесс. С одной стороны, санкции тормозят, а с другой – ускоряют развитие региона. Ограничения и вызовы, с которыми столкнулись российские регионы, требуют эффективных и адаптивных стратегий, поиска и удержания новых рынков, привлечения внутренних инвестиций, достижения устойчивости развития.

In the context of increasing and deepening sanctions that have affected all regions of Russia, most of them demonstrate the ability to adapt and develop in new conditions, relying on the federal support, ten-year experience in functioning of the economy under sanctions, business initiatives and the experience of population variability in complex conditions. The article concludes that the prospects for the socio-economic development of the regions largely depend on the institutional environment that supports the process, the combination of the federal and regional eff orts to ensure the effectiveness of anti-sanctions measures, as well as the ability of the regional economy to innovate. The socio-economic development of Russian regions under sanctions is a complex and ambiguous process. On the one hand, sanctions slow down, and on the other hand, they accelerate the development of the region. The restrictions and challenges faced by Russian regions require effective and adaptive strategies, searching and retaining new markets, attracting domestic investment, and achieving sustainable development.

Published: September 2024

Water clover is an important weed that causes a decrease in rice yields by 15-42%. This study examined the effects of water clover density andNPK fertilizer application on rice yields. This study was arranged in a complete randomized block design with two factors. The first factor was water clover density with three levels, consisting of no water clover, one water clover, and two water clover. The second factor was the application of NPK, which was applied to the surface, submerged in 3, 6, and 9 cm—performed with three replications. Water clover density affected the number of rice panicles, the number of rice grains per panicle, the weight of 100 seeds, rice biomass, and water clover biomass. The application of submerged NPK affected rice biomass. The application of NPK on the surface reduced the highest rice biomass. Two water clovers per rice plant reduced the number of rice panicles by 39% compared to without weeds. Rice biomass decreased by 40% and 50% at weed density of one and two water clover weeds per rice plant, respectively. The higher the density of clover weeds, the higher the decline in harvest yields and the higher the biomass of clover weeds.

The restoration of endodontically treated teeth is a critical aspect of dental practice, with the choice between direct and indirect restoration techniques being central to optimizing clinical outcomes. Direct restorations, such as composite resins, offer advantages in terms of cost, time efficiency, and preservation of tooth structure. However, their long-term performance, particularly in posterior teeth, may be compromised by issues such as marginal leakage, wear, and discoloration. Indirect restorations, including crowns, onlays, and inlays, provide enhanced durability, fracture resistance, and aesthetic outcomes, particularly for teeth that have undergone significant structural loss. These restorations, often made from ceramics or metals, offer superior longevity but come with higher costs and longer treatment times. The aesthetic performance of restorations plays a significant role in patient satisfaction. While direct restorations allow for immediate aesthetic adjustments and are generally more affordable, they may suffer from discoloration and wear over time. Indirect restorations, particularly porcelain-based options, offer better color stability and natural appearance, making them a preferred choice for patients with high aesthetic demands. Cost-effectiveness is another critical factor influencing clinical decision-making. While direct restorations are more affordable initially, their long-term cost-effectiveness may be compromised by the need for repairs or replacements. Indirect restorations, despite their higher upfront cost, often prove to be more economical in the long run due to their durability and reduced need for maintenance. The decision between direct and indirect restoration techniques should be individualized, considering factors such as tooth location, the extent of damage, aesthetic requirements, and financial constraints. A comprehensive evaluation of these factors, along with clear communication with the patient, is essential for achieving optimal clinical outcomes. Indirect restorations generally offer better long-term performance, particularly for heavily compromised teeth, while direct restorations remain a viable option for cases where cost and time efficiency are prioritized.

We examined theoretically and experimentally the influence of astigmatic elements (for example, a cylindrical lens) on a structured Laguerre-Gaussian beam (sLG) when the lens axes are directed at an arbitrary angle to the laboratory coordinate axes (a general astigmatism). Although a structurally stable Laguerre-Gaussian (LG) beam contains a great number of axisymmetric modes (in the LG basis) with matching phases and amplitudes, their superposition already loses its original axial symmetry, but acquires new properties (for example, fast oscillations of the orbital angular momentum (OAM)), while the beam OAM cannot exceed the azimuthal number l of the original LG mode. The loss of axial symmetry occurs due to bringing phase and amplitude perturbations into each mode of the sLG beam, which destroy the ring dislocations. Since degenerate ring dislocations are formed by optical vortices with opposite topological charges, but with equal weights, their destruction is accompanied by appearing of vortex pairs in the form of topological dipoles (their number is equal to the radial number n). As a result, the mode spectrum of the sLG is extended to the value ±(2n + l). The astigmatic element (cylindrical lens) violates the equality of vortex weights in the dipoles, which leads to a sharp growing the OAM of the sLG beam. Moreover, the OAM can be controlled by changing the rotation of the cylindrical lens axes and the control parameters of the sLG beam. It is these processes that are discussed in detail in our article, both in theoretical and experimental aspects. We show that with a certain orientation of the cylindrical lens axes, the beam OAM can exceed the sum of the orbital and azimuthal numbers (OAM > n + l). Besides, we reveal that the intensity pattern of the astigmatic sLG beam can follow the rotation of the astigmatic element axes (the effect of the beam structure following the cylindrical lens axes) at certain relations between control parameters of the sLG beam and the astigmatic element.

Published: September 2024

This paper proposes and presents one approach for people identification based on image and additional physical parameters, height and step length, of a person comparison. People identification is very important in many areas of human life. There are large number of identification methods (biometric methods) that include a different scope of methods, for example fingerprint identification, hand geometry identification, facial recognition, methods based on human eye identification (retina and iris), gait recognition etc. Most of that methods require some kind of interaction with a person, what could be a problem in many practical applications. The method that does not require any interaction with a person is gait recognition. One approach for a people identification based on gait recognition, that uses silhouettes of a person and parameters of person height and step length, is proposed and presented in this paper.

Sustainable energy planning is very important in creating energy policies that underpin reliable energy systems. Macedonia has mainly coal based energy production, implying significant air pollution. Thus, natural gas is pointed out as a solid substitute. In order to analyze the combined implications of economic and social aspects when assessing six natural gas supply options vs. a set of selected relevant indicators, the Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique were applied. The purpose of this paper is to address the combined effects of economic and social indicators affecting natural gas supply policy and decision making.

Objetivo: Investigar, estimar e diagnosticar a atuação da Atenção Primária a Saúde (APS) no enfrentamento da esquistossomose mansônica no Brasil. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo de revisão sistemática para avaliar a atuação da APS no contexto da esquistossomose, desde a criação do PACS. Os dados foram obtidos por meio da metodologia do PRISMA (1991- abril/ 2021). Resultados: A busca identificou 14 trabalhos, a maioria desenvolvida no estado de Pernambuco. Os achados deste estudo mostram um quantitativo relativamente baixo de trabalhos abordando a Atenção Primária como principal política de saúde de cuidados básicos para esquistossomose, assim como a fragilidade de articulação da vigilância com a APS. Conclusões: Identificou-se a necessidade de mais estudos que discutam a APS como importante nível de atenção e estratégia viável para o controle da esquistossomose, que ainda mantém ações incipientes contribuindo para que a doença persista como um problema de saúde pública no Brasil.
