Published: December 2023

The article analyzes the subjective assessment of the readiness and ability to implement inclusive practices with tutor support for students with disabilities in conditions of inclusion among students of the defectology, psychological and pedagogical and social fields of training, with experience working as tutors. We developed a subjective assessment model based on competency and activity approaches that includes 4 questionnaires: the attitude towards inclusion, the intention to implement inclusive practices, the reflection of difficulties and self-efficacy in implementing inclusive practices. The study sample is represented by 488 respondents, who, when grouped by field of education, included – 157 students of higher special education (defectologists), 80 pedagogy and psychology students (higher education), 32 psychologists in the social sphere (higher education) and 15 college students majoring in “Social Work” (152 students from other majors were not considered in the analysis by field of education, but were included in the analysis using the grouping variable “Experience as a tutor”). Research methods: empirical - questionnaires containing scales designed for the self-assessment of the readiness and ability to implement inclusive practices in tutor support; statistical - the Kruskal-Wallis test (SPSS Statistics 18.0 program). An analysis of the results of responses on the various questionnaires showed that the largest proportion of positive responses from respondents was observed among defectology students, students of the “Psychologist in the Social Sphere” field and students with tutor experience from 1 to 3 years in the responses to the “Attitudes towards inclusion” (63,6%, 64,1%, 62,5%, respectively), “Intention to implement inclusive practices” (81,1%, 65,3%, 71,2%, respectively) and “Effectiveness in implementing inclusive practices” (68,8%, 63,8%, 69,7%, respectively) questionnaires, while agreement with the presence of difficulties was the lowest among defectology students (28,4%). Among students with tutoring experience, the largest proportion of positive choices was in the group of students with 1 to 3 years of experience, where there were significant differences in relation to inclusion and the effectiveness in implementing inclusive practices. In conclusion, it is stated that tutor training programs seeking to increase the readiness and ability to implement inclusive practices should include the development and implementation of an individual educational route based on the reflection of one’s value attitudes, intentions (motives), analysis of difficulties and assessment of self-efficacy.
The Attitude of Young People towards Death and the Phenomenon of School Shootings
Authors: Grinenko U.B.
Published: December 2023

An analysis of differences in psychological attitudes to the phenomenon of school shooting among young people who are knowledgeable and uninformed about school shootings was carried out through studying its relationship with attitudes towards death in a sample of 98 people (48 men and 50 women, the average age was 22.7 years). It is shown that there is a difference in the assessment and perception of the specific terminology of school shootings «natural selection», «reb’n’vodka», «trench coat mafia», «wrath» in groups knowledgeable and uninformed about school shootings: common terms are more positively evaluated by those who were previously familiar with the concept of «school shootings». It is concluded that for respondents familiar with school shootings, their own death and the death of another are close in meaning and emotional burden. The group of people who are knowledgeable on school shootings demonstrates the presence of a suicidal risk. Death is viewed by them approvingly and positively, since it entails a liberation from suffering, adversity and difficulties. The results obtained reflect the diagnostic possibilities of studying the implicit attitude towards school shootings by studying the attitude towards death. The promising task of this study is to analyze the differences in the psychological attitude towards the phenomenon of school shootings in people with autoaggressive behavior, who are knowledgeable and uninformed of school shootings, by studying the attitude towards death.

Published: December 2023

The characteristics of 79 cadets of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (mean age — 20.3±2.3 years) were studied: 26.6% male and 73.4% female. Signs of stress, coping, level of anxiety and depression were studied. Stressful stimuli were presented by showing images of dangerous situations and incidents, as well as loud, negatively socially colored sounds. The levels of cortisol and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in saliva before and after presentation of stressful stimuli were determined. It was revealed that male cadets are characterized by high levels of cortisol and DHEA before stress, with a decrease after presentation. The group of female cadets was characterized by normal hormone indices. Profiles of reaction to stress were formed. Two pro-files were identified in the group of male cadets. The first one corresponded to destructive ways of coping with stress, depression and anxiety expression, normal dynamics of hormone indices after stress; the second one — low level of anxiety and depression, high level of coping planning-solving problems, decrease of cortisol and DHEA level after stress. For female cadets, 3 profiles were distinguished. The first was characterized by the absence of signs of stress, positive reassessment of stress, normal dynamics of hormones; the second — low level of stress, non-expressiveness of coping escape and increase of hormones after stress; the third — expression of signs of stress, coping self-control, and decrease of hormones after stress.

Published: December 2023

In order to determine to what degree the different conditions affected the stability of certain triticale genotypes and to what extent they determined the effect of the genotype x environment interaction, 12 lines of winter hexaploid triticale were studied under contrasting growing periods. The results from the AMMI-analysis showed that the GxE interaction accounted for 14.8% of the total variation of yield, while four significant principal components could explain 96% of its variance. The PCA analysis demonstrate that the first component related to the action of the meteorological conditions during 2015/2016 and 2019/2020 growing periods, and had the highest effect on the interaction. The AMMI-based biplot graphs revealed that the behavior of the local check Kolorit and lines G2 and G7 was the most stable according to the different periods affecting the genotype x environment interaction, while G1, G6 and G11 also had lower interaction with the conditions of the environment, but only during certain periods. Such characteristics allowed involving these lines in testing under the varied soil and climatic conditions of Bulgaria.

Published: December 2023

Five Romanian winter wheat genotypes were analyzed during two experimental years (2019-2020) under four different regime fertilizers for chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoid contents from flag leaf, respectively, number of grains/spike, weight of grains/spike, thousand kernel weight. The results showed that the application of additional fertilization increase the analyzed traits, also causing an increase of traits variability. Regarding the variation of photosynthetic pigments from flag leaf as an effect of different fertilizer levels, their concentration is specific to each variety. The highest value of chlorophyll a type is observed in Cezara variety (665.83 mg/kg DW) at N150 kg s.a./ha fertilization level applied in a boot stage. The variation of chlorophyll b concentration in flag leaf is similar to chlorophyll a concentration as a reaction of different nitrogen dose aplication, the highest value for this type of chlorophyll being registered in T. 109-12 at F4 (519.64 mg/kg DW). Carotenoid concentration from flag leaf varies from 3.93 mg/kg DW at Dumitra variety (F3) to 97.63 mg/kg DW at Andrada variety in F2 fertilization level.

Published: December 2023

The study evaluated the production of pods and green grains in garden peas in relation to some biostimulating substances. The experiment was organized in the area of Aldesti locality, Arad County, Romania. Four pea varieties were cultivated: Vidra 187 (a1), Udina (a2), Ișalnița (a3), and Marifon (a4). Three biostimulators were used: Fabo (b2), Bionat (b3), Lithovit (b4), tested together with a control variant (b1). From the combination of the two factors, 16 experimental variants resulted. A logical scheme was designed for the experimental flow. According to PCA, correlation, in relation to Pgp (peas green pods), Pgp Q1 (peas green pods quality I) and Gp (green peas grains), as biplot, PC1 explained 86.788% of variance, and PC2 explained 13.079% of variance. The cluster analysis led to the dendrogram of grouping the variants based on similarity in relation to the considered parameters. The regression analysis led to models of equations and graphs (3D, isoquants) regarding the variation of Gp in relation to Pgp and Pgp Q1. The a2b4 variant facilitated the best values for the analyzed parameters (Pgs, Pgs Q1, Gp).

Published: December 2023

Left ventricular outflow tract obstruction with a systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve is a challenging pathology. An intervention, either surgically or with a percutaneous technique is taken into consideration when the pressure gradient reaches critical levels. Subaortic myectomy is still the gold standard treatment modality in these particular patients. Modified Konno procedure may be added to the procedure when a significant gradient persists following subaortic resection, because of its association with increased outflow tract obstruction relief.
We herein present our experiences with two cases that underwent modified Konno procedures for the treatment of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.

It is well known that extraordinary stress or chronic exposure to stressors is characterized by adverse immunological consequences due to stress-induced immunosuppression. It has been established that stress causes an increased incidence of malignant tumors and also worsens the prognosis in patients with already existing tumors. Among the mechanisms of carcinogenesis under stress, there is an increase in the level of cortisol, which has a significant inhibitory effect on the immune system and the secretion of pro-inflammatory interleukins. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) involves inactivation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and decreased secretion of cortisol in humans, or corticosterone in rats and mice. However, the question of whether PTSD is a risk factor for the development of cancer or tumor growth remains practically undeveloped.

The effectiveness of chemoradiation therapy (CRT) is conventionally assessed in terms of achieving clinical complete response (CCR), overall and event-free survival. Anal cancer (AR) is considered as one of the cancer diseases with a proven etiological agent: the human papillomavirus (HPV). The search for biomarkers to predict the effectiveness of CRT is always relevant, and an assessment of virological response (VR) may be useful for this purpose. Aim: To compare rates of clinical complete response (CCR) and virological response (VR) to CRT for anal cancer.

Published: December 2023

The ophthalmic non-motor dysfunctions are most common among individuals with Parkinson’s disease, manifesting both prior to motor symptoms and throughout the progression of the neurodegenerative condition. Detecting these impairments early on holds significant potential for disease identification, particularly in its nascent stages. Given the comprehensive nature of ocular involvement, encompassing both extraocular and intraocular elements of the visual system, a comprehensive evaluation stands to benefit patients. Considering the shared embryonic origin of the retina and central nervous system, exploring retinal changes in Parkinson's disease could yield insights applicable to the broader brain context. Consequently, identifying these manifestations could enhance medical assessments of Parkinson's disease and offer predictive value regarding its progression.

The impact of these ophthalmological issues extends to the quality of life of Parkinson's disease patients, accentuating the importance of addressing them. This review presents a comprehensive overview of the primary visual impairments linked to Parkinson's disease, reflecting a substantial portion of the visual challenges encountered by affected individuals and for the overall well-being of those living with the condition.

Authors: Kadir Syeed Mehbub Ul , Maurya Rajendra P , Noman Shams Mohammad , Roy Tanima
Published: December 2023

The goal is to assess the effectiveness and safety of trabeculectomy with collagen implants for glaucoma patients who cannot be managed medically.

This research is a case series that intervenes without randomization and focuses on potential outcomes. The study consisted of 76 treated eyes of 76 patients with uncontrollable glaucoma. A thorough examination of the eyes was performed on all patients, and the results were documented. Each patient underwent conventional trabeculectomy surgery using the fornix-based approach. Additionally, a subconjunctival collagen implant known as Ologen was also utilized. We recorded preoperative data such as age, gender, best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, glaucoma type, and a few preoperative antiglaucoma medications. We recorded the intraocular pressure after surgery, the number of glaucoma medications given after surgery, and any complications that occurred during the postoperative period. Each patient was monitored for a minimum of six months.

Before the operation, the average intraocular pressure (IOP) was 34.21 ± 12.5, and the patient took at least two IOP-lowering medications (average 2.3). The postoperative IOP was measured after three months and found to be 13.85±5.42mm Hg, with a p-value of 0.060. On average, the blood pressure decreased by 16.42±6.42 mmHg after six months, with a p-value of 0.056. After six months, it was observed that the medication significantly reduced 1.22 in intraocular pressure (P=<0.001), leading to a notable decrease of 17.79 mmHg. The success rate stood at a commendable 97.36% at the three-month mark, but it reduced to an alarming 88.15% by the last visit. Within just one month after the operation, several complications arose, including three cases of hyphaema, one case of the shallow anterior chamber, and two cases of wound leak. All patients showed gradual improvement with conservative management. However, three of them developed cataracts within three months.

For patients who have not responded to topical antiglaucoma medications, to manage intraocular pressure is a dependable and safe surgical procedure that offers an efficient treatment option.

Published: December 2023

The most challenging subject in patient satisfaction after cataract surgery depends upon post-operative refractive outcomes. Accurately predicting post-operative refraction is necessary during the calculation of Intraocular lens (IOL) power. The Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff (SRK) II formula is one of the few formulae being used for the calculation of IOL power. Our study is to compare the accuracy of the SRK-II formula with targeted final refraction of patients undergoing phacoemulsification.

This study was performed on 102 eyes that underwent phacoemulsification. IOL power was calculated using the SRK-II formula. One and a half months after surgery, refraction was performed. Differences between actual post-operative refraction and predicted spherical equivalent was calculated and termed absolute refractive error. Paired t-test was used for comparing actual post-operative refraction and predicted spherical equivalent.

The mean absolute error (MAE) of the SRK-II formula was 0.44 D (diopters) overall. The percentage of eyes within ±0.5 D of the predicted spherical equivalent was 81%. Patients having post-operative refractive error within ±1.0 D for short, average, and long axial length were 88% (P value 0.21), 92% (P value 0.0009), and 91% (P value 0.18) respectively.

We found that the SRK-II formula was accurate and reliable for predicting the post-operative refractive error in eyes with normal axial lengths as the post-operative refraction is near emmetropia and is a good method for IOL power calculation with normal axial lengths.

Published: December 2023

The present study was undertaken to study the tear film status preoperatively and post-operatively in patients undergoing phacoemulsification surgery.

The study was conducted as prospective study on 100 patients undergoing phacoemulsification surgery during the study period of 1 year. Work up for tear film status including Schirmer’s test, staining of cornea and conjunctiva with fluorescein dye, TBUT (tear film break up time) was done preoperatively and postoperatively after phacoemulsification.

Mean Schirmer’s value at preoperative assessment was 27.45±4.95 whereas that at post operative day 7, 15 and 30 was 9.09±2.19, 16.73±5.12 and 24.45±4.05 respectively. Similarly, mean TBUT at preoperative level was 11.11±1.16 which reduced to 6.63±1.57 at day 7, 7.37±1.44 at day 15 and 9.77±0.91 at day 30. Test of significance (ANOVA) showed statistically significant difference in mean Schirmer’s and TBUT values at various follow ups post-operatively as compared to baseline (p<0.01).

Cataract surgery can lead to dry eye due to incision itself as well as due to intra-operative exposure to the microscope light. Thus, artificial tears must be prescribed to improve the quality of life during immediate post-operative period. However, gradually, tear film status improved. We only followed up patients till one month, a long term follow up is recommended to assess the time taken for the tear film to recover to its preoperative status.
Z myślą o Niepodległej. Działalność polityczna i społeczna Zdzisława Konrada Próchnickiego (1875–1939)
Authors: Wątor Adam
Published: December 2023

Zdzisław Próchnicki was an active member of National Democracy. He participated in its works in Lviv, took up roles in its managerial bodies but – most significantly – he was a commissioner in National League. In the Main Council of the League he took a stance opposite to Roman Dmowski’s. However, before the First World War broke out when it came to choosing a direction, he opted for an anti-German agenda. He stood by it consistently throughout the War and as a leader of LN’s group his position allowed nobody to disobey the party line. Precise and convincing in his political discussions, when Poland gained independence, he was one of co-founders of ZLN and SN. His role in political life, however, decreased over time. He consistently supported Eastern Małopolska and Lviv’s place within the Polish state and hence stood against any attempts to change such a state of affairs. He played a crucial role in the works of TSL. He sat on the Main Board as its long-lasting secretary and then, between 1928 and 1931, as a deputy president of the association. He had been making a major impact on its structure and operations up to the point when the helm of TSL was taken over by Sanation. Próchnicki was also an acknowledged lawyer and a specialist in political law. He used his comprehensive knowledge during discussions on a voting law reform in the Hapsburg Monarchy and then in debates on increasing autonomy. He also developed local authorities’ projects and was active in the City Council of Lviv. An expert in constitutional law, however, his academic career was not free from failures. Lack of postdoctoral degree (Polish: habilitacja) meant that between 1930 and 1939 he could only work as a deputy professor of the UJK. His impeccable command of the German language allowed him to take up such crucial jobs as translating Austrian constitutional bills. Neither in Galicia (Eastern Europe) nor in the independent Poland did he ever stand for parliament. Similarly, he never sought a career beyond his beloved Lviv. It was the city where he spent his entire hard-working life and to the residents of which he devoted all his energy. He began public activity in 1895 by recalling the motto of an independent and united Poland to which he remained faithful throughout the war years. In his civic work in the Second Republic of Poland he could finally pursue his earlier established goals in practice.

Published: December 2023

This article describes the method of educating Russian teachers in Tallinn University. The respective curriculum is presented, and its structure and components analysed. The authors review the aims of the subject-specific didactics courses, their content and the forms of the classes, as well as the role and place of teaching internships in the process of teaching training. Most of the attention is paid to the adaptation of the existing curricula to the needs of informal Russian teacher training within the campaign “Noored Kooli” (Young People to Schools), open learning and microgrades. Also, the handbook How to Prepare and Give a Lesson in Russian as a Foreign Language is looked at, as well as at some e-platforms and resources for videoconferences and lectures. This article reveals the potential of the resources referred to in classwork and in independent work by students within both formal and informal Russian teacher training. The authors elaborate on the idea that informal training can be more effective within some special terms, for example, if the training is based on general, cross-functional, but flexible, curricula, which have been evaluated during the long period of training specialists for schools.

A Self-Study of Translators of Medical Texts Using the Kenhub Platform
Authors: Łomzik Magdalena
Published: December 2023

A huge role in the translation of medical texts, as in the case of other specialist texts, is played by the knowledge of specialised terminology. Unfortunately, the range of training and courses for medical translators is smaller than, for example, in the case of legal texts and documents. Therefore, adepts of the profession of medical translator and translators themselves are forced to search for learning material largely on their own in order to acquire or supplement their own medical knowledge. One possible workshop tool for medical translators are anatomy-learning platforms, which have been created specifically for medical students. One example of such is the Kenhub website, which allows translators to study the human anatomy in German, English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Russian. This article presents the functions of the Kenhub platform in the context of its use for the self-education of translators working in the Polish-German language pair.

Salt farming is considered a risky venture due to the influence of both internal and external factors. Therefore, this study aimed to describe farmers' perceptions regarding the causes, opportunities, and impacts of risks to develop a risk reduction strategy for salt farming in Madura Island. The study used a multistage sampling method to obtain 120 respondents and was conducted in three regencies: Sampang, Pamekasan, and Sumenep. The first objective was analyzed using the descriptive method, while the second was designed using the Kountur method. Farmers' perceptions showed that seawater quality, wind and temperature, rainfall, soil porosity, price volatility, marketing channels, government policies, capital constraints, and human resource quality could cause risks in salt farming. Several risks were perceived to significantly impact salt farming, such as government policies, partnerships, marketing channels, prices, and capital availability. Therefore, some recommendations to improve the risk reduction strategies included the use of horizontal axis windmills, revitalization of groups and partnerships, and capital strengthening through the effectiveness of the PUGAR (Empowerment of Smallholder Salt Businesses) policy by the development of standard procedures for the timely and targeted distribution of the aides.

Java long pepper (Piper retrofractum Vahl.) is a potential export commodity. One of the centers of Java long pepper production in Indonesia is Sumenep Regency. However, in marketing, farmers only act as price takers, and prices fluctuate a lot. This study aimed to describe the structure, conduct, and performance of the Java Long Pepper market in Bluto District, Sumenep Regency. Sampling was carried out using the snowball sampling method to obtain a sample of 31 farmers, 2 small traders, and 1 large trader. The analysis technique used is the SCP (structure, conduct, and performance) with qualitative and quantitative approaches. Market structure is analyzed by calculating CR and IHH, market conduct by analyzing pricing methods, marketing channels, and marketing functions, and market performance by marketing margin and farmer’s share. Based on the research results, it is known that the market structure that occurs is an oligopsony with a high concentration and collusion price leadership types by the dominant firm. Market conduct shows that farmers cannot bargain, and traders determine absolute prices. Market performance is seen from marketing channel I which is considered the best, with a marketing margin IDR2.000,00 and a farmer’s share of 97.30%. This condition of imperfect market competition needs to be controlled and paid attention to so that it can be managed well, create healthy business conditions, and avoid monopoly.

Every year, West Java Province becomes the third largest rice-producing province in Indonesia, with a production of 9.43 million tons in 2022. However, this condition is inversely proportional to the welfare of food crop farmers when viewed from the exchange rate of food crop farmers (NTPTP), which in the last two years has been below 100%. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of rice crop production, rice crop productivity, the selling price of dry milled grain, production costs, and additional capital on NTPTP in West Java. Secondary data were obtained from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Directorate General of Food Crops, Ministry of Agriculture, from 2010–2022. Multiple linear regression analysis is used to examine the determinants of the welfare of food crop farmers. The findings of this study show that the selling price of dry-milled grain has a significant effect on increasing NTPTP. In contrast, rice crop production, productivity, production costs, and capital increases are not. The selling price of dry-milled grain influences the welfare of food crop farmers in West Java. Government policymakers can use this study in the agricultural sector to overcome the high expenditure of farmers' production costs by providing subsidies on target and maintaining the cost of goods sold for rice for the welfare of farmers in West Java.

ФОРМУВАННЯ ГОТОВНОСТІ МАЙБУТНІХ МАГІСТРІВ ПСИХОЛОГІВ ДО ПРОФЕСІЙНОЇ ДІЯЛЬНОСТІ ЯК ПСИХОЛОГО-ПЕДАГОГІЧНА ПРОБЛЕМА
Authors: Ларіонцева Анна
Published: December 2023

Стаття присвячена аналізу та визначенню актуальності дослідження проблеми формування готовності до професійної діяльності майбутніх магістрів психологів. У статті обґрунтована актуальність вирішення проблеми, розглянуто теоретичні питання основ формування готовності майбутнього психолога до професійної діяльності як психолого-педагогічна проблема, проаналізовано погляди сучасних вітчизняних та зарубіжних науковців щодо професійної підготовки майбутніх магістрів психологів в закладах вищої технічної освіти (ЗВТО).

Методики дослідження. Для досягнення мети в роботі планується використати сукупність методів і прийомів наукового пізнання.

Висвітлюються теоретичні методи, які передбачають аналіз наукової літератури за темою дослідження та узагальнення здобутої інформації, системний аналіз, узагальнення теоретично-методологічних підходів до проблеми, розробку та обґрунтування теоретичної моделі предмету дослідження.

Метод логічного узагальнення - для теоретичного обґрунтування значущості поставлених завдань та уточнення ключових понять дослідження.

Результати. Розкрито аспекти формування професійних якостей майбутнього фахівця у процесі підготовки до майбутньої професійної діяльності.

Висновки. Проблема професійної підготовки магістрів психологів є достатньо гострою. Розширення поля діяльності психологів висуває високі вимоги до особистості самого фахівця. Масштаб особистості випускників ЗВТО повинен відповідати масштабу професійних завдань, які сучасне життя і суспільство ставлять перед магістрами психологами, а це, водночас, вимагає корекції освітніх програм у закладах вищої освіти.

У зв’язку з реформуванням освіти питання інноваційних змін у професійній підготовці майбутніх фахівців різного профілю стають найбільш пріоритетними. Актуалізується проблема переходу від знаннєвої парадигми до іншого методологічного спрямування, яка передбачає самостійну орієнтацію студентів у світі інформації та формує в майбутніх фахівців професійну компетентність. Підкреслимо, що акцентується увага на проблемі професійної підготовки, в освітньому середовищі закладу вищої технічної освіти

Virtual reality gains popularity due to its wide range of applications, starting with entertainment and ending with a whole set of educational programs. It surely has its positive sides and drawbacks. The current study focuses on the evaluation of the psychophysical response to the ability to control and manipulate virtual reality. It also focuses on the impact virtual reality has on the ability to perform spatial modeling. The study’s sample includes 140 participants. The research has form of a classic experiment involving two experimental groups and one control group. While the second experimental group consisted of 40 respondents and could only observe virtual reality without being able to influence their actions in it, the first experimental group consisted of 44 participants who could control their actions in virtual reality (they could move, jump and choose places from which you could look at nature in virtual reality). The control group only passed the proposed tests measuring spatial modeling skills and was not involved in virtual reality. Psychophysical response was measured using a polygraph. The results show that being able to control VR makes the experience more immersive, increasing emotional response and stress, while not being able to control it causes less stress and engagement. The conclusion is that short virtual reality sessions have a positive effect on the ability to perform spatial modeling tasks

This study examines the urgency of implementing cash on delivery system in electronic transactions and the good faith of consumers for goods ordered using the cash-on-delivery method. The formulation of the problem discussed is what is the basis for implementing the cash-on-delivery system, and how can consumers application of the principle of good faith to the cash-on-delivery system? The research method used is normative and literature study based on primary materials (laws), secondary materials (scientific works, journals, books, documents, and other literature), and tertiary legal materials (legal dictionaries). The results of the study, namely the urgency of the payment method with Cash on Delivery (COD), are considered very important to give consumer confidence to business actors for the products ordered and make it easier for them to make payments in cash when the product is received. The principle of good faith must be obeyed when implementing e-commerce agreements, especially for consumers who take advantage of the COD feature, so as not to act arbitrarily, which harms business actors.
