Introduction. According to the Russian Society of Urology, the frequency of infertile marriages, one of the causes of which is the male factor, ranges from 8 to 17.2% in various regions of Russia. The genesis of male infertility is multifactorial and one of the possible causes of fertility disorders can currently be COVID-19. Since SARS-CoV-2 enters the body through the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 receptor, high expression of this enzyme in testicular cells may contribute to impaired spermatogenesis. Aim of the Research. To study changes in the spermiological status of men from infertile couples over the period of 2013–2020 with an emphasis on the COVID-19 pandemic period. Materials and methods. Design — observational, retrospective, cross-sectional study. The analysis of case histories of 1006 men living in Novosibirsk from couples with infertility in marriage was carried out. The samples were divided into 4 groups: 1 (n = 696) — 2013–2017; 2 (n = 68) — 2018; 3 (n = 163) — 2019; 4 (n = 79) — 2020. We have carried out an analysis of spermograms, spermatozoa morphology according to Kruger strict criteria, MAR test. Results are presented as median, 25 and 75 percentiles. Results. In the total sample, a reduced proportion of morphologically normal forms relative to the reference was revealed (median of 2.5% with reference values > 4.0%). Progressive sperm motility decreases from group 1 to group 3 and is stable in groups 3 and 4: 40.0 (25.0–52.0); 37.5 (22.5–53.0); 30.0 (19.4–42.3) and 30.0 (21.5–41.2); p1–3. 1–4 < 0.005. The proportion of morphologically normal spermatozoa decreases from group 1 to 2, then it is stable: 4.0 (2.0–6.0); 2.5 (1.5–3.0); 2.0 (1.5–3.0); 2.0 (1.0–3.0); p1–2, 1–3, 1–4 < 0.005. For the MAR test, a gradual decrease from group 1 to 3 and an increase in group 4 were revealed: 2.0 (0.0–6.0); 0.75 (0.0–2.8); 0.5 (0.0–2.5); 1.5 (0.0–4.0), p2–3 < 0.005. Conclusion. Within the period of 2013–2020, in men from infertile couples, a gradual increase in the incidence of astheno- and teratozoospermia was revealed, while the concentration and number of spermatozoa did not change, the prevalence of the immune form of male infertility increased. Considering the decrease in spermogram indicators for 2013–2020 with minimal indicators in 2020, it can be assumed that COVID-19 is one of the factors affecting fertility, but is not the main one, which requires continued research aimed at clarifying the genesis of male infertility.

The results of treatment of 60 patients with a verified diagnosis of ischemic stroke, acute period, with a motor deficit in the form of hemiparesis, with cognitive impairment, are presented; patients were distributed by random sampling into two groups: group 1 (30 people), the standard treatment was supplemented with a course of laser therapy, group 2 (30 people) received only the standard course of treatment. In patients, the effect of low-intensity laser radiation on the cognitive functions, short-term memory, attention, and mental abilities was studied. Efficiency was assessed using the MMSE scale, the Number Memory, Visual Memory Tests, and the method of finding numbers on Schulte Tables. It was found that the inclusion of low-level infrared laser radiation in a standard medical complex reduces the level of cognitive impairment by 2.3 times, increasing short-term memory by 1.6 times, attention by 2.2 times (p < 0.05). In the comparison group, the dynamics of these indicators is significantly lower. The inclusion of pulsed infrared low level laser therapy (LLLT) in the complex rehabilitation of patients with ACVA is a necessary link in neurorehabilitation measures as a method for compensating the impaired brain functions.

Breast cancer is the most common malignant tumor in women. HER2-positive (HER2+) breast cancer is a molecular subtype characterized by an aggressive course, a tendency for tumor cells to spread rapidly, and resistance to standard cytostatic regimens. A number of large randomized trials have shown that the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy provides the same overall survival rates as adjuvant regimens. In addition, the use of neoadjuvant chemotherapy makes it possible to achieve therapeutic pathomorphosis. The discovery of new chemotherapeutic drugs has made it possible to use a dual blockade of HER2 receptors due to interaction with different subdomains of this protein. In particular, chemotherapy using Trastuzumab, Pertuzumab, and Docetaxel has proven to be an effective regimen to achieve high rates of therapeutic pathomorphosis and survival. The paper analyzes the mechanism of action and effectiveness of the combined use of Trastuzumab and Pertuzumab, presents two clinical cases of practical treatment using dual targeted blockade.

Introduction. In assisted reproductive technology pregnancy (ARTP), the most unfavorable factor affecting perinatal outcomes is iatrogenic multiple gestation. Active introduction into practice of techniques that reduce the risk of multiple pregnancy, on the one hand, and management of ARTP in specialized medical centers with experience in working with this category of patients, on the other, can improve perinatal outcomes. Aim. Analysis of perinatal outcomes in assisted singleton and multiple pregnancies in order to assess the contribution of the multiple gestation factor to adverse health outcomes for newborns, and its relevance for improving of assisted reproductive technology. Materials and methods. A retrospective study of the ante-, intra- and early neonatal period was carried out in 672 infants born at the Medical Center AVICENNA (Novosibirsk) for the period from 2006 to 2015. The total sample was divided into 3 groups: 1st – infants from singleton ARTP (n = 345); 2nd – infants from multiple ARTP (n = 177); 3rd – infants from singleton spontaneous pregnancy (SSP) (n = 150) without infertility in the parental history, gravidity and parity were equal. A clinical and anamnestic method was used, with an assessment of the main parameters of the health status of infants and parents. Results. It was revealed that complications such as threatened miscarriage and preterm labor, cervical insufficiency, preeclampsia, and placental disorders are diagnosed significantly more often in multiple ARTP (p < 0.001) compared with singleton ARTP. At the same time, in the setting of a specialized center, the majority of infants from ARTP were full-term, both in singleton (94.5% of cases) and in multiple (52.5% of cases) pregnancies. Any assisted reproductive technology pregnancy belongs to the group of high obstetric risk, but timely correction of complications significantly improves perinatal outcomes. Conclusion. ARTP belongs to the group of high obstetric risk, which increases significantly with multiple gestation. Management of an infertile couple in a specialized center with continuity at all stages from the moment of contacting the clinic to the birth of a child allows, despite the development of complications, to ensure the birth of full-term infants (both in singleton and multiple pregnancies), and in singleton pregnancies it leads to the birth of children, in main health indicators similar to those from a spontaneous pregnancy.

The traditional rice varieties were evaluated for furnishing complimentary and climate adopted high yield crop to the district farmer. The selected rice varieties maintain food production and security in the district. An experiment was conducted at the Agricultural Research Farm of the Arunachal University of Studies to assess the performance of selected traditional varieties of rice. Twelve traditional varieties of rice from Arunachal Pradesh as well as from other states (viz., Anjali, Hauska rice, Namsai Local, Gandhakasala 1, Khamti Lahi, Sali, Ambing, Taker, Gandhakasala, Bora, Bihari Dhan and Jeerakasala) were evaluated in a randomized block design with three replications during Kharif season of 2020. The varieties differed significantly for all the growth and yield parameters studied. The growth parameter of Tillers per hill (31.3) and plant height (97.13 cms) were observed in the Khamti Lahi, whereas the number of tillers (11.83) and the plant height (62.97 cms) were recorded by Ambing and Namsai Local respectively. The crop duration was seen in Bora (90 days), followed by Ambing and Namsai Local (100 days), and in Jeerakasala (138 days), Gandhakasala 1, Sali and Gandhakasala (137 days). The yield was reported in Khamti Lahi (1.81 kg/ 6 sq m and 130.67 days duration) followed by Sali (1.74 kg yield and 100.67 days duration) and Ambing (0.58 kg yield and 103.33 days duration). The yield of short duration variety like Bora (90 days duration and yield of 1.10 kg/ plot), and Taker (103 days duration and 1.23 kg yield) were reported to introduce double production for overcoming farmer’s crop problem. The correlation analysis showed that plant height, duration of vegetative phase, productive tillers and grains per panicle are the major factors contributing to yield, and these characters are important in a selection programme. The investigation also suggests further studies on utilization of scented or specialty rice varieties and possibility of genetic improvement of traditional varieties to enhance their productivity.

Published: July 2022

Pulses plays a very important role in deciding economy of Moradabad region as a number of pulses are grown by farmers in this region. The major issue that farmers faces is low productivity and major reason behind that is low nutrient status and lack of beneficial microorganisms in the soil. Application of balanced nutrition primarily phosphorus in leguminous crops plays a key role in root development and nodule formation which ultimately reduces the dependence on nitrogen fertilizers through atmospheric nitrogen fixation. To evaluate this further, a field experiment was conducted during Kharif season of 2019 at Agricultural Farm of IFTM University, Moradabad, to study the effect of levels of phosphorus and biofertilizers viz., Rhizobium and PSB on growth and yield of black gram which is an important pulse crop in Moradabad region. The experiment consisted of seven treatments with NPK fertilizer @ 20:40:40 kg/ha (or) 20:40:60 kg/ha with and without seed inoculation with Rhizobium or Phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB) or in combination. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Block Design replicated thrice. Black gram variety ‘Azaad-2’ was sown at a spacing of 30 × 15 cm on a sandy loam soil which was low in organic carbon (0.39 %), available nitrogen (87.75 kg/ha) and available phosphorus (13.5 kg/ha) and medium in available potassium content (198 kg/ha). The experimental results indicated that, application of NPK @ 20:60:40 kg/ha + Seed inoculation with Rhizobium + PSB resulted in highest values of all the growth parameters such as plant height, number of primary branches, number of leaves and number of root nodules at different growth stages. This treatment has also reported an increase in grain yield by 39.90% and 33.55 % respectively over control (no fertilizer) and conventional practices (NPK @ 20:40:40, which clearly indicates the suitability in obtaining maximum yield and fetching higher returns for the black gram farmers in Moradabad region.

The newly released high yielding cotton cultivars are higher boll retention rate than conventional cultivars that have higher overall nutrient demand during the flowering and boll development stages. Therefore, this field experiment was conducted at during summer, 2020 at Annamalai University experimental farm, Department of Agronomy, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai Nagar, Tamil Nadu, India, 608 002 to ascertain the impact of foliar application of essential nutrients and biofertilizers on growth and yield of cotton. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with twelve treatments of foliar application macro and micro-nutrients with and without Pink pigmented facultative methylotrophic bacteria (PPFM) and replicated thrice. Foliar application of macro, micronutrients and PPFM registered the increased values of growth characters, yield attributes and yield of hybrid cotton. Among the foliar application practice tested, foliar application of 2% urea + 1% PPFM at flowering and boll development stages significantly resulted in the enhances values of growth characters viz., plant height (157.40 cm), Dry matter production (6003 kg/ha), number of monopodial branches (3.28/plant), growth analysis like Leaf area index (4.30), Crop growth rate (7.01 g/m2/day) and Relative growth rate (0.0144 g/g/day), yield attributes viz., number of sympodial branches (21.77/plant), number of squares (83.77/plant), number of bolls (45.04/plant), boll weight (5.58 g) and seed cotton yield (3185 kg/ha). This was statistically on par with the foliar application of 2% MgSO4 + 1% PPFM at flowering and boll development stages. The lower values of growth characters, yield attributes and yield were recorded under water spray treatment. Based on the results of field investigation it can be concluded that foliar application of 2% urea + 1% PPFM at flowering and boll development stages can possibly enhance the growth and yield of hybrid cotton grown under dryland condition.

Background: Squalene, as an isoprene, is one of the components of amaranth oil and makes up about 8% of this oil. Squalene has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects that have been considered in many studies. In people with uncontrolled diabetes, there is an increase in total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) alongside a decrease in high-density lipoproteins (HDL).According to studies, squalene can be useful in lowering total cholesterol and triacylglycerol.Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether squalene has an effect on lipid profile and a number of oxidative biomarkers in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods: In the present study, 30 healthy volunteers were selected as the control group and 120 volunteers with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were selected. Subjects with diabetes were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group 1 was untreated with squalene and groups 3, 4, and 5 were treated with different doses of squalene for 84 days. Lipid profiles and oxidant biomarkers were examined on days 1, 14, 28, 56, and 84 according to the relevant protocols in all groups.Results: Significant differences (P < 0.05) were observed between control and diabetic groups in the study of cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, HDL, very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (Ox-LDL), and malondialdehyde. There was a significant difference between the studied groups in the levels of parameters expressed in some different doses and days.At the levels of the parameters expressed in some doses and different days, a significant difference was observed between the groups treated and untreated with squalene.Conclusion: This study shows that squalene as a bioactive compound can be effective to manage certain symptoms of diabetics including HDL, LDL, total cholesterol, and VLDL. From our findings, we observed that squalene consumption over the duration of 84 days resulted in increased levels of HDL in diabetic patients. It also resulted in decreased levels of total cholesterol, LDL, and VLDL in diabetic patients.  Keywords: Squalene, lipid profile, oxidative biomarkers, diabetes mellitus

The effect of the conducted research is conclusions concerning the evaluation of the practice of recentralising local government’s tasks.
The Subject Matter of Respecting the Time Limit to File an Appeal by a Party not Recognized by the Authority as a Party in Administrative Proceedings
Authors: Kledzik Przemysław
Published: July 2022

On 1 June 2017, following an amendment to the Code of Administrative Procedure, the possibility to file a statement on waiving the right to appeal was introduced. In consequence – as of the date of serving the public administration authority with the statement of waiver by the last of the parties to the proceedings – the decision becomes final and legally binding. However, it is assumed by legal scholars and commentators and in the established line of judicial decisions that the right to file an appeal against a decision issued in the course of administrative proceedings extends not only to the parties that participated in the proceedings and were served the decision, but also to an entity which was not considered a party by the first instance authority, provided that the entity meets the statutory criterion of obtaining the status of a party to proceedings. The time limit for filing an appeal by the non-participating entity runs from the date of serving or communicating orally the decision to the parties to the proceedings, and in case the decision was served on different dates to more than one party – from the last date of serving the decision. With regard to the legal effect of the waiver of appeal, whereby the first instance decision becomes final and binding, a question arises as to how the waiver affects the possibility to file an appeal, within the original time limit, by an entity which was not considered a party to proceedings by the authority. The paper seeks to answer this question.
Freedom of Conscience as a Human Right and Conscience Clause as a Legal Institution in the International System of Human Rights Protection (Special Focus on European Context)
Authors: Kubala Maciej
Published: July 2022

The United Nations recognized the right to conscientious objection to military service only in 2004, with far-reaching restrictions. At the Council of Europe, interpretation for the purpose of issuing ruling was derived from the provisions of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, however it has never been given autonomous treatybased legal regulation. Dispositions such as resolution 1763 (2010) of the Council of Europe or Strasbourg judicial decisions, respecting a recognition margin, could only call for recognition or observance of conscience clause by the states – parties to the Convention. These states, however, already as member states of the European Union – signatories of Treaty of Lisbon – although actually recognising Article 10 of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights as specification of freedom of conscience, still retained a far-reaching autonomy in its legal configuration. This paper answers the following research questions: is recognition of freedom of conscience as a human right, justifying the right for conscientious objection, requisite for the necessity to adopt conscience clause into the international system of human rights protection, and, consequently, in the state legal orders; if so, is the “universal” mandate of transnationally recognized right for conscientious objection strong enough to overcome the arbitrariness of statutory solutions of state legal orders?
Aggressive Behaviours of the Elderly: Legal and Psychological Aspects
Authors: Niewiadomska Iwona , Chwaszcz Joanna , Mamcarz Stanisław
Published: July 2022

The article aims to pinpoint the relationship between age and manifestations of aggressive behaviour in elderly people. In the opening part, the authors highlight the legal aspects of aggression in senior groups. They stress the need for research to determine the relationship between acts of aggression and delinquency in this age group (which is attributable to the limited number of similar analyses and the steady growth of the population of seniors). The second part of the paper casts light on the psychological aspects of aggressive behaviour in the elderly. In this context, the authors discuss the results of research involving 948 respondents and employing a tool known as the Psychological Inventory of Aggression Syndrome (IPSA) designed by Zbigniew Gaś. The results demonstrate a growing risk of emergence of three symptoms of aggression syndrome in seniors (60+): 1) aggression control disorders, 2) self-hostility, 3) hostility towards the environment. The closing part of the article offers some conclusions regarding the criminal policy. The authors recommend preventive measures that are likely to curb the manifestations of aggression among the elderly.

The Right of Christ’s Faithful to the Holy Sacraments During Pandemic Conditions
Authors: Sitarz Mirosław
Published: July 2022

Human rights, which are vested with both the citizens of the state and the faithful of the Church, are rooted in the inherent and inalienable dignity of the person. In all circumstances, especially in a pandemic, the institutions of Church and State, which are there to serve people, should guarantee, through their representative bodies, that these rights be exercised. The article discusses the legal basis of Christ’s faithful’s rights to the spiritual riches of the Church and the scope of exercising these rights, as well as addressing the scope of enjoyment of the right to the spiritual riches of the Church in Poland during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020.
Legal Grounds for Forming and Altering the Basic Territorial Division of the State
Authors: Sługocki Janusz
Published: July 2022

The issue of territorial division of a state has been subject of the science of administrative law for years. The aim of territorial division is to introduce certain order in human activity in a given area. This refers in particular to general territorial division, which has most significance and plays the most important role in functioning of state and society. Thus, the issue of legal regulations concerning the prerequisites for shaping this order and the conditions for making alterations to it remains topical. The author presents the issue of legal regulations regarding the premises this order and the conditions for its transformation as still topical and being rather a long-term process than a single undertaking. It stems from the tension present in the science of administrative law between assuming that the territorial division of the state should be characterised by relative stability, and the simultaneous projection of its alterations in the face of changing conditions forcing transformation in the functioning of public administration. The current model of the basic territorial division is based on the concept laid down in the Constitution of 2 April 1997, assuming that the territorial division of the state must take into account the social, economic or cultural ties, at the same time ensuring that the territorial units are capable of performing public tasks. Moreover, the formal criterion for alterations to the basic territorial system is introducing them by means of an Act. The paper also presents the modern tendency to change the perspective and gradual, however constant, move from the analysis of the territorial division of the state as an element of effectiveness of public administration to the emphasis of the significance of territorial division as the real framework of local and regional self-governance and the areas of social activity.
Role of Experts and Their Opinions in Administrative Proceedings in Light of Current Judicial Decisions
Authors: Smarż Joanna
Published: July 2022

Due to the increasing specialization in various areas of our life and science and the extremely rapid development of technology and civilization, it is necessary to consult an expert with special knowledge in administrative proceedings. Therefore, expert’s opinion is an important means of evidence in administrative proceedings and its importance is constantly growing. Unfortunately, the institution of experts in administrative proceedings is currently under-regulated in the provisions of the Code of Administrative Proceedings, which raises a number of factual and legal problems. They concern not only who can be an expert, but also what is the subject of an expert opinion, what is the significance of an expert opinion in administrative proceedings, in what form it should be prepared and what elements it should contain. Due to the lack of legal regulations, these issues are resolved by the case law, which achievements could be the basis for legal regulations. The role of an expert in administrative proceedings is to provide professional assistance to administrative authorities in cases that require special knowledge. However, the opinion of an expert appointed in administrative proceedings is not binding on the authority conducting the proceedings, but like other evidence, is the subject of free analysis by the authority taking into account all the evidence collected in the case. It is the authority, not the expert, to decide the case.

On the Issue of Compensatory Liability of Circuit Electoral Commission Members Acting as Public Officials
Authors: Zych Radosław
Published: July 2022

The purpose of this paper is to answer the question whether the following can incur civil liability for damage caused by an unlawful act or omission committed by members of circuit electoral commissions: Is it the State Treasury or a local government unit or another legal person exercising public authority under the law? In my opinion it is necessary to verify the hypothesis whether the activity of members of circuit electoral commissions constitutes exercise of public authority. Moreover: Is the manner of appointing their members, their qualifications and competences important for qualifying them in this category? This paper examines the case law of the Supreme Court and common courts of various instances, starting from 2013. This date is justified by the expiry of the relevant deadline since the entry into force of the Electoral Code, which would make it possible to identify matters that are subject to my considerations. I believe the activities of circuit electoral commissions can be said to have a special character because the credibility of the voting process and the determination of its results depend on their work.
Constitutional Principle of Justice in Ukraine in Its Genesis and Implementation in Practice
Authors: Bilash Oleksandr , Shelever Nataliya
Published: July 2022

The authors study the principle of justice in Ukraine, focusing on the problematic issue – the violation of the principle of justice in the administration of law. An example is the decision of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine of 27 October 2020 No. 13-r/2020 on the abolition of electronic declaration of officials, which led to a constitutional crisis in the country. To resolve the situation, the President of Ukraine submitted to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine a bill on the dissolution of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine and the annulment of the above-mentioned decision of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. The situation in the country is of great concern, as Ukraine’s visafree regime with the European Union and Ukraine’s expected membership in the European Union are under threat. Corruption, long-term judicial reform, the constitutional crisis, violations of the principle of justice lead to the outflow of foreign investment from Ukraine, mass migration of Ukrainians to developed countries of the European Union. All these factors hinder the development of the state as independent and democratic. It is concluded that a necessary step for Ukraine’s European integration is not only the declaration, but first of all the implementation of the principle of justice by all branches of Ukrainian power.
Homelessness Against the Principle of Indivisibility of Human Rights
Authors: Cała-Wacinkiewicz Ewelina
Published: July 2022

The main aim of this study is to present homelessness against international human rights law, whilst assessing the state of regulations in force and pointing out whether they sufficiently protect homeless persons as a group which requires special legal protection. At the same time, the analysis will confirm or falsify the research hypothesis which asks us to ponder on whether (and if yes – why) homelessness violates the principle of indivisibility of human rights in a particular way and whether it should be examined as such. Does homelessness per se – violating inherent human dignity – negate the essence of human rights and de facto exclude the possibility of exercising some of them? Formulation of this hypothesis implicates a question about the relationship between homelessness and indivisibility of human rights. Verification of the above hypothesis will outline the scope of further reflections carried out on the basis of the analytical method and by interpretation of the law in force, supported by the statistical method.
Orbit Slot Allocation in Earth Observation Constellations
Authors: Maqrot Sara , Roussel Stéphanie , Picard Gauthier , Pralet Cédric
Published: July 2022

In the context of Earth observation constellations, we consider the problem of allocating orbit slots to clients requesting some ownership of orbit portions overflying desired regions on Earth. This problem arises prior to operational scheduling of observation tasks, in constellations where users can directly communicate with the satellites using their own ground stations. Observation scheduling in the exclusive slots is then delegated to the clients themselves. To perform the allocation of exclusive slots, we propose a two-level optimization approach, where the optimization process (led by either utilitarian or fair criterion) explores the solution space using a feasibility checker based on a constraint solver. We experimentally evaluate and analyze their performance on randomly generated order books and real constellation configurations.

In recent years, pervasive digitalization has affected the industrial world, including the oil and gas sector. With more and more data becoming available, Machine Learning algorithms have become a promising tool to improve Predictive Maintenance operations. In this work, we have designed an alerting system that notifies the site operator with an adequate advance when an anomaly is going to occur. In particular, we focus our analysis on the stabilization column of an Oil Stabilization Facility to prevent the column bottom temperature to overcome safety boundaries. The experimental analysis demonstrates that our system provides reliable results, in terms of both identified anomalies and false alarms. In addition, the system is currently under deployment on the company computing infrastructure and the first working version will be available by the end of May 2022.
Sensor-Based Moisture Prediction for Flat Roofs1
Authors: Da Col Giacomo , Eggeling Eva , Hudelist Marco , Schinko Christoph , Surtmann Christof , Teppan Erich
Published: July 2022

Flat roofs have become popular also in central and northern Europe during the last decades. One advantage when compared to pitched roofs is that flat roofs are typically significantly cheaper. Furthermore, the roof space can be used also as a garden, a terrace or simply to quite easily install photo-voltaic systems on it. However, flat roofs are known to be prone to drainage and leakage issues. Roof utilization as a garden or the shadowing of installed photo-voltaic systems magnify this problem. For these reasons, installing moisture sensors inside the roof in order to monitor the moisture levels is one possibility to detect roof damages early and keep repairing costs low. In this paper we report on first results of an industrial project that aims to go one step further. Based on past sensor values the goal is to predict how moisture levels will progress in the near future and thus be able to identify problems before they become critical.
