Cost Minimization: Philosophical and Methodological Analysis
Authors:   Novosibirsk State University of Economics and Management, Russian Federation, Korolkov Evgeniy
Published: January 2023

In modern economic literature, as well as regulatory documents, the concepts of ‘inputs’, ‘expenses’ and ‘costs’ are often used as identical to each other. At the same time, there are differences between them and their incorrect interpretation can lead to incorrect analytical conclusions and, as a result, erroneous conclusions and subsequent losses in the financial and economic activities of a commercial organization. The problem of the theme in relation to ‘credit costs’ is also reflected in the fact that currently special regulatory documents regulating banking activities, such as Federal Law “About the Central Bank of the Russian Federation (Bank of Russia)” and Federal Law “About Banks and Bank Activities” do not contain a decoding of the mentioned concepts of ‘expenses’ or ‘costs’. Moreover, another document that could clarify this issue – the Accounting Regulations “Expenses of the Organization” № 10/99 in paragraph 1 we read: ‘1. This Regulation establishes the rules for the formation in accounting of information on expenses of commercial organizations (except credit and insurance organizations) that are legal entities under the legislation of the Russian Federation.’ In the paper, the author aims to differentiate the concepts of ‘expenses’ and ‘costs’, as well as to clarify and formulate such a concept as ‘credit costs’. The subjects raised by the author could be interesting for external investors, specialists of internal services of a commercial bank analyzing the effectiveness of a credit institution and, of course, the top management of the bank, most interested in both the profitability of its own investments and the formation of further policy of the bank led by them. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the consideration of different approaches to the concept of ‘costs’, the definition of banking instruments that affect the amount of credit costs, their systematization and the allocation of those that, according to the author, can be optimized without reducing the profitability of the credit organization. The concept of ‘credit costs’ is systematized.

Cardiac tissue samples were obtained from human donors and sent to East Tennessee State University for processing. At ETSU, the tissue was dissected, sectioned with a cryostat, and stained for neuronal markers using the ABC IHC method. Pictures of the sections were obtained and analyzed for nerve density across different regions of the heart.
FLASH-seq protocol v2
Authors: Picelli Simone
Published: January 2023

The single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-seq) field has evolved tremendously since the first paper was published back in 2009. While the first methods analysed just a handful of cells, the throughput and performance rapidly increased over a very short timespan. However, it was not until the introduction of emulsion droplets methods, that the robust and reproducible analysis of thousands of cells became feasible. Despite generating data at a speed and a cost per cell that remains unmatched by full-length protocols like Smart-seq, scRNA-seq in droplets still comes with the drawback of addressing only the terminal portion of the transcripts, thus lacking the required sensitivity for comprehensively analyzing the transcriptome of individual cells. Building upon the existing Smart-seq2/3 workflows, we developed FLASH-seq (FS), a new full-length scRNA-seq method capable of detecting a significantly higher number of genes than both previous versions, requiring limited hands-on time and with a great potential for customization.

Abolishing Military and Cultivating Pacifism in Costa Rica: Reflective but Limited Peace?
Authors: A J Mohd Firdaus
Published: January 2023

Existing literature on peace, security and civil-military relations in Latin America only recently recognises the historical institutional sources of Costa Rican exceptionalism. While the Cold War's security predicament and the military dictatorship are common antecedents for most Central American states, Costa Rican demilitarisation and pacifism origins are unique and incomparable. Rather than treating post-1948 civil war development as exceptionalism, this paper seeks to normalise their success. The paper examines the political development of Costa Ricans in the 1950s and whether José María Hipólito Figueres Ferrer's historic decision to permanently abolish the military after the war helped to explain the institutionalisation process of organic civilian peace. While Costa Rican decisions to abandon its defence rights are always romanticised as "progressive" and an anomaly during the Cold War. The reality of relations between military abolishment, pacifism and democratic peace is multidimensional and complex. To perpetuate illogical pacificism reflections from Costa Rica in the 1950s and prescribes into present arguments for global democratic peace is somewhat imprecise. Drawing from years of research on Security in Latin America, this article reinvigorates Costa Rican exceptionalism. It analyses the cultivation of pacificism of those that have made the right choices in the face of adverse circumstances. Considering the historical institutional approach in researching local peace history, the paper illustrates a critical juncture that set peculiar peace formation, the path-dependent that ends the war, and the eventual decision to abolish the military in Costa Rica. The path dependence on national progress in education, health, and productivity only confirmed the unique political trajectory of Costa Rica, wherein they cannot be easily replicated or comparable. Understanding this distinctiveness should serve as a reminder of any renewed debate of Costa Rican exceptionalism in Central American security or democratic peace theory in liberal peacebuilding.
Malaysia in Global Feminism Wave: Women Development and International Relations of Malaysia
Authors: Hassan Muhammad Rahimi , Ramli Rashila
Published: January 2023

Feminism is a discourse and movement that aims to change the gender imbalance in a patriarchal society. Feminism has proliferated, covering four mainstreams and evolving 'from the bottom up'. The dynamics, focus, and struggle that start from the community up to the international level show the inclusive involvement of state and non-state actors. Using Feminism approaches in Politics and International Relations, this paper explains how the dynamics of women's development in Malaysia have become part of contemporary global feminism. When the UN celebrated International Women's Day in 1975, Malaysia played an active international role in the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). It established a local agency, the National Advisory Council on the Integration of Women in Development (NACIWID). The paper is divided into three major parts. First, interactions between feminism and International Relations will be explored. Second, because of gendering politics, the framework of women in development (WID), women and development (WAD), as well as gender and development (GAD) have become a benchmark for explaining women's emancipation in policy formulation. Finally, the study also applies the model in Malaysia. Arguably Malaysia's earliest roles and international activism explain the inclusion of Malaysia's lessons in transnational feminism and the country's contribution to women's development despite the prevalent patriarchal attributes.
"If there is a Declaration of War, We Welcome the War": Undi-18, TikTok Election and Normalisation of Violence
Authors: Razali Siti Zuliha , Abdul Hani Muhamad Luqman Hakim
Published: January 2023

Malaysia's democracy has come under attack due to the radicalisation of young and first-time voters on social media platforms. The widespread usage of TikTok as a primary campaign battleground by the political parties during the 15th General Election (GE-15) marks the anomaly pattern of first-time youth voters. Moreover, having social media influencers courting youth voters as a pawn in the electoral war is considered an accentuation of provocation of hate speech, endangering the prospect of moderate democracy in Malaysia. This commentary studies such anomalies by interviewing youth from varying socio-economic standing and educational backgrounds across Malaysia. Our research note highlights two crucial areas of unexplored terrain for future research. The first is the immediate need to invest in an emancipatory discourse of civic and political education and unabated expansions of democratic space and rights. Secondly, alarming concerns of electoral terrorism and hate speech via social media unravelled the under-research angles or assumed organic political divisions between analogue generations of corrupted warlords versus digital politics of technocratic youth savvy. Inadvertently, our observation of the 15th GE has discerned an increasing political worrisome pattern of widespread manipulative tendency by politicians, including using Industrial Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) technology to predict the voting pattern and understand the population sentiment through social media. We also concluded that tactics employed by the cyber troopers of political parties have significantly manipulated and poisoned the neutrality and perspectives of first-time youth voters.

n this obituary and research note, we dedicate our prayers and peaceful thoughts to the late Associate Professor Dr Hamidin Abdul Hamid (1970-2022), who recently passed away in the late afternoon of September 19, 2022. Malaysians knew him through his national television appearance, famous witty commentaries on national electoral issues, past adjuncts and visiting posts, and consultations. He will always be remembered for his contributions and legacy in advancing African Studies in Malaysia. To colleagues, former students, supervisees, and known associates and academic networks within and outside the circle of History, African Studies, Leadership, and Malaysian elections, his presence is always felt. We are always honoured to know his excellent works in many impactful ways. As part of this attribute to the late Dr Hamidin, the rest of this research note provides updates on current trends in Malaysia-Africa relations and African Studies at Universiti Malaya and in Malaysia generally. We also would like to express our sincere gratitude to SINERGI's Editor-in-Chief and the rest of her editorial team, UKM Press, and SPHEA, UKM, for allowing us to share our views on research in Africa-Malaysia relations.
Engendering Indonesia's Involvement in the United Nations Peacekeeping Operation (UNPKO)
Authors: Dewi Machya Astuti
Published: January 2023

Gender and Peace Studies are gaining more and more attention in International Relations. Recent developments increasingly demand a good understanding of gender aspects, specifically in the context of contribution to world peace through women's involvement and activism in international peacekeeping missions. Indonesian female soldiers have contributed to peacekeeping missions in conflict-affected countries, such as the UNIFIL mission in Lebanon. By focusing on the issue of the deployment of Indonesian women soldiers in UN Peacekeeping Missions, this article has discussed the concept of gender and roles in global peace missions, with a particular focus on the involvement of Indonesian women in UN peacekeeping forces. Qualitative research methods have been used in this study by utilizing both primary and secondary sources in the form of official reports, as well as articles from books, articles, and magazines in printed form, as well as those obtained from authoritative online sources. Research results prove that through the involvement of Indonesian women in the UN Peacekeeping Mission, Indonesia is not a genderless national entity. Indirectly, the patriarchalism characteristic of the masculine state is seen to have experienced a transformation with the involvement of women in this critical security sector. In other words, women's position is gaining recognition. Secondly, the role played by the Indonesian military and policewomen in the UN Peacekeeping Mission is a reflection of high-level political activity. However, uniquely through the role of women, especially in helping the post-conflict recovery agenda, the international peace agenda can also be resolved through activities associated with low politics.
Applications of Relational-Cultural Theory for Social Justice in Mental Health Counseling
Authors: Westcott Jordan B. , Grimes Tameka O.
Published: January 2023

A long-standing challenge in counseling practice is the application of multicultural and social justice competencies through traditional counseling paradigms, many of which uphold systems of oppression. Although contemporary standards for the profession emphasize the need for greater attention to systemic influences on clients’ lives, enacting frameworks such as the Multicultural and Social Justice Counseling Competencies (MSJCC) proposed by Ratts et al. without a complementary theoretical framework can be challenging for mental health counselors. Relational-cultural theory (RCT) offers such a framework to support counselors’ efforts to serve marginalized clients, as well as understand their own oppressed identities in the counseling room. Following an overview of RCT, the authors describe practical guidelines for enacting the MSJCC through RCT in clinical practice. A case study is provided to illustrate a workable application for mental health counselors.
ULUSLARARASI İNSANCIL HUKUK İNSANSIZ HAVA ARAÇLARININ KULLANILDIĞI OPERASYONLARDA ŞEFFAFLIK YÜKÜMLÜLÜĞÜ YARATIR MI?

İnsansız hava araçlarının silahlı çatışmalarda aktif olarak kullanılmaya başlanmasıyla beraber saldırıların hukuki dayanağının açıklanması, hedeflerin kimliğinin belirlenmesi, sivil kayıpların kamuoyuyla paylaşılması, tarafsız ve etkin soruşturmaların yürütülmesine yönelik endişeler giderek artmaktadır. Bu gerekçelerle, şeffaflık eksikliği insansız hava araçlarının kullanıldığı operasyonlarda hayati bir konumdadır. Uluslararası insancıl hukuk devletlere açık bir şeffaflık yükümlülüğü getirmemektedir. Ancak uluslararası toplumda şeffaflığın sağlanmasına yönelik bir eğilim bulunmaktadır. Bu makale uluslararası insancıl hukukta şeffaflık yükümlülüğünün hukuki temellerini araştırmaktadır. Cenevre Sözleşmeleri’nin Ortak 1. Maddesinde yer alan saygı gösterme, saygı gösterilmesini sağlama ve soruşturma görevinin şeffaflık yükümlülüğü için bir temel oluşturduğu savunulmaktadır. Etkili başvuru hakkı ve hakikat hakkı, şeffaflık yükümlülüğüne doğru bir yönelim yarattığı için makalede incelenmektedir. Şeffaflık yükümlülüğünün hukukun üstünlüğünün sağlanmasında öneme sahip olduğu gerekçesiyle, bu makalenin araştırma sonuçları uluslararası insancıl hukukta şeffaflık için bir hukuki temel oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır.

Published: January 2023

Almost all Cloud Service Providers (CSP) takes a principled approach to the storage and deletion of Customer Data. Most of them have engineered their cloud platform to achieve a high degree of speed, availability, durability, and consistency. Their systems are designed to be optimized for these performance attributes and must be carefully balanced with the necessity to achieve accurate and timely data deletion.many researchers have turn their focus toward data storage and how it will be a challenging task for CSPs in term of storage capacity, data management and security, a considerable number of papers has been published containing new models and technique that will allow data De-duplication in a shared environment but few of them have discussed data deletion.In this paper we will be discussing a new approach that will allow a smart deletion of data stored in the file system as well as its reference in the Blockchain since, by its nature, Blockchains does not allow deletion without violating the Blockchain’s consistency, a preexisting de-duplication system will be our base platform on which we will be working to achieve an accurate and secure data deletion using Blockchain technology while preserving its consistency.
A multi-agent Framework for dynamic traffic management Considering Priority Link
Authors: IKIDID Abdelouafi , El Fazziki Abdelaziz , Sadgal Mohamed
Published: January 2023

To favor emergency vehicles, promote collective modes of transport in Moroccan cities, we propose in this paper a control system to manage traffic at signalized intersections with priority links in urban settings. This system combines multi-agent technology and fuzzy logic to regulate traffic flows. The traffic system flow is divided into two types of vehicles; priority and regular vehicles. The regular vehicles can use only the regular links, while the priority vehicles may use both priority and the regular links. This approach aims to favor emergency vehicles and promote collective modes of transport, it acts on the traffic light phases length and order to control all traffic flows. We proposed a decentralized system of regulation based on real-time monitoring to develop a local inter-section state, and intelligent coordination between neighboring intersections to build an overview of the traffic state. The regulation and prioritization decisions are made through cooperation, communication, and coordination between different agents. The performance of the proposed system is investigated and instantiated in ANYLOGIC simulator, using a section of the Marrakesh road network that contains priority links. The results indicate that the designed system can significantly develop the efficiency of the traffic regulation system.
Feature Extraction and Classification of Email Spam Detection Using IMTF-IDF+Skip-Thought Vectors
Authors: Mallampati Deepika , Hegde Nagaratna P.
Published: January 2023

Spam is a major concern in present emails, and there are several reasons for sending spam emails. The two most common ones are advertising and fraud. If supported by suitable preprocessing approaches, the detection algorithm for spam email or spam classifier will function effectively (removal of noise, removal of stop words, stemming, lemmatization, term frequency). Spam that combines both text and image components is referred to as hybrid spam. Compared to spam emails with images and text, it is more unsafe and complex. To distinguish spam or ham, we must use an effective and smart approach in order to have a strong representation of emails and improve classification performance. In this paper, we propose a multi-modal architecture relying on a feature model (MMA-FM) that concatenates two embedding vectors. The text and image sections of the similar emails were separated using a hybrid model (IMTF-IDF+Skip-thoughts) and the convolutional neural network (CNN) as a feature extraction technique. The extracted features are concatenated and given to Naïve Bayes (NB) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) models to classify hybrid email as either spam or ham. In this paper we used two hybrid datasets: Enron, Dredze, and TREC 2007, which are publicly accessible corpora. Our results show that the SVM model provides an accuracy of 99.16%, which is higher when compared to the Naïve Bayes method.
Efficacy of topical mineralocorticoids in a rabbit model of ocular inflammation
Authors: KIVILCIM Muhamet
Published: January 2023

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the efficacy of mineralocorticoids in the treatment of ocular inflammation, whose potential use has not been assessed.
Methods: Thirty-five New Zealand albino rabbits were used in the study. Rabbits were divided into five groups. Only one eye was used for experimental purposes and the other eye was used as control. 11-deoxycortisol, deoxycorticosterone acetate, fludrocortisone acetate, aldosterone and 11-deoxycorticosterone were studied in a rabbit model of ocular inflammation. All animals in a group received the same corticosteroid. Paired t-tests and analysis of variance between subjects (ANOVA) were used to evaluate efficacy.
Results: The eyes treated with 11-deoxycortisol, deoxycorticosterone acetate, and fludrocortisone acetate had statistically significant lower fluorescence compared to control eyes. 11-deoxycortisol and deoxycorticosterone acetate provided a greater reduction in fluorescence compared to other corticosteroids.
Conclusions: Topical use of corticosteroids, especially those with mineralocorticoid activity can decrease ocular inflammation in a rabbit model. Clinical application of topical mineralocorticoids in human ocular inflammation needs to be performed.

Authors: Tandale Ajay T. , Nayak B.B. , Xavier K.A. Martin , Devangre A.A. , Gore Sandeep B. , Balange Amjad K.
Published: January 2023

Background: Tea polyphenols are extracted from top two - four young leaves and leaf buds of tea plant, while the bottom leaves of tea shrub are considered as an agricultural waste. Hence, an attempt has been made to utilise them as an alternate source of low-cost natural antioxidant. Methods: Green tea shrub bottom leaves of Camellia sinensis Var. assamica /TV-23 were procured from Estate- Seni Mora Bagan, Karanga kamar, Hazarika Gaon, Tal. Karga Dist. Jorhat, Assam. Proximate analysis, total phenolic (Folin-Ciocalteau) and qualitative analysis (Agilent LC-MS system) for phenolic compounds including antioxidant properties was carried out using standard analytical methods. Result: The results for proximate content were protein (14.43%), lipids (4.44%), total ash (4.94%), crude fibre (33.63%) and moisture (3.20%). A total phenolic content of dry green tea powder extracts prepared by using ethanol was 105.68 mg GAE/g dry tea powder. Total 12 different bioactive compounds were identified by HR-LCMS. The antioxidant properties were DPPH (89.82%), ABTS (74.71%), FRAP (1053.92 µ mol Trolox/gram dry tea powder) and metal chelating activity (17.51%). Based on the study we opine that; tea shrub bottom leaves can act as a promising source of low-cost tea polyphenols when extracted with ethanol as a solvent for value added fish product shelf life extension.

Published: January 2023

Este trabajo tiene el objetivo de proponer y analizar factores parala construcción de un índice de vulnerabilidad a la contaminación de acuíferos kársticos costeros urbanizados. Debido a las altas modificaciones antrópica de los territorios, se tomó como área de estudio la ciudad de Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo. Se abordaron cuatro factores: relieve, clima, ascenso del nivel de mar y el uso de suelo. Para el relieve se identificaron las depresiones utilizando datos LiDAR del INEGI. El factor clima se trabajó con datos meteorológicos de CONAGUA, empleando el Índice Modificado de Fournier. El ascenso del mar se recreó con proyecciones del aumento del mar y se consideró el nivel piezométrico y la distancia a la línea de costa. Finalmente, para el uso de suelo, se consideró la zonificación secundaria del Programa de Desarrollo Urbano y el coeficiente de ocupación del suelo. A cada factor se asignó una diferenciación de vulnerabilidad, la cual define la susceptibilidad del territorio a la contaminación. Los resultados para el relieve, muestran una mayor vulnerabilidad en el uso de suelo turístico residencial y mixto, con una frecuencia de 30 a 37 depresiones, predominando lasdolinas y dolinas-úvalas. Para el clima se identificó la zona vulnerable al sureste de la ciudad, para el ascenso del mar se encontró en el primer kilómetro con respecto a la línea de costa, afectando el 20% de las depresiones. Los usos de suelo conmayor vulnerabilidad fueron de uso comercial, turismo residencial, habitacional de alta densidad y uso mixto.

The objective of this research was to evaluate and compare the yieldperformance and quality of Tithonia diversifolia forage under different harvesting heights, during the dry and rainy seasons in tropical Mexico. The treatments consisted of three harvest heights 40, 60 and 80 cm from the ground level, cut every60 days, during two seasons of the year. In each period, the biomass was harvested and separated into edible and non-edible components. We determined the biomass yield, and the concentration of crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), lignin, ash and organic matter (OM) of the forage. Cutting at 80 cm height yielded the highest forage biomass per harvest (2 008 kg DM ha−1) while there were no significant differences in forage yield between 40 and 60 cm heights. The differences in cutting heights also affected the nutrient qualityof the animal edible forage because the concentrations of CP, ADF and NDF varied significantly. There was a significant interaction between cutting heights and the season on forage production and quality. In the dry season, the content of NDF, FDA, lignin and ash were higher, while the PC and OM were lower. The use of T. diversifolia as a forage plant and cutting it to a height of 80 cm is recommended to maintain the best production and the quality of the forage throughout the year for livestock production.

Published: January 2023

El objetivo fue caracterizar el crecimiento de aves Criollas Mexicanas (CMX), Hy-Line Brown (HLB) y Rhode Island Red (RIR) mediante los modelos Gompertz-Laird (MNGL), Logístico (MNL), Richards (MNR) y Von Bertalanffy(MNVB). Se utilizaron 70 pollitas de cada genotipo. Cada ave fue identificada para registrar su peso de 7 a 210 d de edad. Los parámetros de los modelos se estimaron con el procedimiento NLIN (algoritmo de Marquardt) de SAS. Se calculó el coeficiente de determinación ajustado, criterio de información de Akaike y criterio de información Bayesiana, para cada caso. La tasa de crecimiento inicial (d−1) en aves CMX fue menor (0.047 15) que en aves RIR (0.071 69) y HLB (0.052 16). Con los cuatro modelos, la tasa de decaimiento en aves CMX fue menor, respecto a los otros genotipos. Asimismo, la edad al máximo crecimiento (d) en las aves CMX,RIR y HLB, varió de 49.4 a 87.9, de 60.7 a 81.6 y de 58.7 a 87.8, respectivamente. Por otro lado, el peso asintótico (g), estimado con los cuatro modelos varió de 2 068.5 a 2 644.3, de 1 902.4 a 2 250.9 y 2 096.3 a 2 464.5, en las aves CMX, RIR y HLB, respectivamente. Con el MNVB se obtuvo el mejor ajuste para los datos de las aves RIR y HLB, en contraste, el MNR fue mejor para las aves CMX, seguido del MNVB. El MNVB sería el más adecuado para el estudio simultáneo del crecimiento de aves CMX, RIR y HLB.

Published: January 2023

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar el comportamiento de la transmisión de precios en la venta de novillo en pie y de carne en canal, a lo largo de la cadena de producción y entre regiones separadas espacialmente, en los estados de Veracruz, Jalisco y Estado de México. Los datos utilizados fueron series de tiempo de precios mensuales de novillo en pie y carne en canal de bovino para el periodo 2003 a 2020. Se estimó un modelo de Vector de Corrección de Error con el fin de determinar la magnitud y la velocidad de respuesta de los precios de un mercado a otro y de un eslabón de la cadena a otro. Los resultados sugieren asimetría entre los mercados espaciales de México-Veracruz y Jalisco-Veracruz, con coeficientes significativos (p≤ 0.10) de -0.06 y -0.08, respectivamente, y muestran que los precios al productor en Veracruz reaccionan más rápidamente ante una disminución de precios que cuando se amplían. Se concluye que existe una transmisión incompleta y asimétrica de precios en los modelos verticales. La causa principal podría ser la alta concentración del mercado en el procesamiento de carne nacional y regional.

Published: January 2023

Comprender los factores que determinan la variación en la distribución de una especie, reconociendo que la asociación con su hábitat puede variar entretemporadas fenológicas, permite hacer predicciones sobre su distribución ante los cambios globales. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar cómo varía la asociación con el hábitat y la distribución del tordo sargento (Agelaius phoeniceus) por temporada reproductiva (mayo-julio) y no reproductiva (diciembre-enero) en la península de Yucatán, México. Se usaron listas de eBird para generar datos de detección/no detección de la especie y la cobertura del suelo/cobertura urbana como indicador del tipo de hábitat. Se usó random forest para modelar la probabilidad de ocurrencia y distribución por temporada con la detección/no detección como variable de respuesta y 13 covariables de cobertura del suelo, dos de luces de la ciudad, ycuatro de esfuerzo de muestreo como predictores. Los predictores con mayor aportación relacionados de forma positiva con la ocurrencia fueron la sabana, sabana leñosa, pastizales, humedales, número de observadores, distancia y duración de la observación. Los más relacionados de forma negativa fueron el bosque perenne, las luces de la ciudad y hora de inicio de la observación. En ambas temporadas, la especie ocurre en tipos de vegetación cercanos a la costa o vegetación inundable (humedales, sabana y pastizales), y evita bosques y ciudades, sugiriendo que la asociación especie-hábitat del tordo sargento en la región es poco afectada por la estacionalidad.

According to Article 19 paragraph (2) letter c of Law No. 5 of 1960 concerning Basic Regulations on Agrarian, with the granting of a certificate of proof of the rights over the fields of the land that is with the issuance of the certificate of land rights for land rights, including property rights to land, the state has provided the guarantee and certainty in the land sector. For holders of the rights to land, have a certificate shall have legal certainty and the protection of the law. Compared with written evidence of the other, a certificate is proof of a strong right, meaning that the holder of land rights that the name listed in the certificate should be regarded as true until proven otherwise in a court with the other evidence. On the other hand a letter of proof of the right or the certificate of land that can serve to create orderly land law. Nevertheless, the applicability than the certificate-the certificate is often questioned its effectiveness in providing certainty and legal protection. if the certificate is really protecting the rights of the subjects of the law or protect the object under such a certificate, or even just can be used as proof certificate course because it often happens that there is a certificate that is presented in the trial can be formally recognized but can't be used to protect the subject and object of the law
Mobile Commoning from the Margins to the Fore? Hostipitality on the Polish-Belarusian and Polish-Ukrainian Borders (2021–2022)
Authors: Moll Łukasz
Published: January 2023

The article was written as an intervention piece in the midst of the massive escape of war refugees to Poland during the first four weeks of the war in Ukraine (24 February-24 March 2022). It aims to map and discuss the condition of grassroots hospitality (and inhospitality) in Poland between Autumn 2021 and Spring 2022. It was a time of shifting context in terms of policies: from the state of exception, migrant push-backs, and walling the border with Belarus, to the policy of solidarity with war refugees, legitimized humanitarianism and open border with Ukraine. In the course of half a year, the frames of bottom-up hospitality on Eastern borders of Poland changed entirely and abruptly. When a couple of thousands of migrants from the Middle East and beyond were camping in the border zone between Belarus and Poland, unable to claim asylum in the EU, practices of solidarity from the bottom up were barely tolerated by Polish state, if not criminalized and condemned. In these realities, structures of support remained an informal, fugitive, and underground network. But with the Russian attack on Ukraine on 24th February 2022, Poland opened its border for the unprecedented arrival of over two million people (during first month of the war) and bottom-up solidarity became a massive response of Polish society, which started to organize shelters, transportation, food and medicines. The same politicians and media which were fighting hospitality to migrants — in terms of ‘crimes of solidarity’ — on the border with Belarus, this time welcomed it with enthusiasm and support. The article proposes to view the nascent rise of grassroots hospitality with Ukrainian migrants in terms of ‘mobile commoning’: precarious, makeshift and autonomous practices of solidarity with people on the move. Mobile commoning is considered here as potential basis for a different migration policy in the EU. At the same time, the Polish case is analyzed as an instructive study of the limits of political universalism which are constructed at and by the borders.

This study tried to explore the interpersonal characteristics of a dark personality by confirmingthe relationship between anger and loneliness, which appears in a dark personality, throughempathy. For this purpose, 1000 adult males in the nationwide region were assessed by darktetrad, empathy, loneliness, and anger and analyzed. Results are as follows, First, the pathsleading to loneliness and anger t hrough personal distress, which is a sub-factor of emotionalempathy, were significant for Machiavellianism, narcissistic personality, and psychoticpersonality. Also, the path leading to loneliness through empathic concern, a sub-factor ofaffective empathy, was significant. Second, the paths leading to loneliness and anger throughperspective taking, which is a sub-factor of cognitive empathy, were significant for narcissisticpersonality and psychotic personality. Based on these results, it was confirmed that empathicresponses may appear differently depending on the characteristics of each dark personality. Thissuggests that empathy-focused interventions can be useful to decrease the loneliness and angermanifested by the dark personality.

Aim: The purpose of this study is to compare the surgical outcomes of treating recurrent carpal tunnel with recurrent carpal tunnel release only compared to recurrent carpal tunnel release with fat grafting as an adjunct. Methods: Retrospective case-control study was performed of the recurrent carpal tunnels treated, excluding explicit nerve injury such as transections, neuromas in continuity, etc. Patients with recurrent carpal tunnel received re-release of carpal tunnel only or fat grafting as an adjunct. The outcomes of both groups were compared utilizing chi-square analysis. Results: A total number of 81 patients were found to meet the inclusion criteria. Of the recurrences, a total of 16 patients did not receive fat grafting and 65 did. The rate of improvement in symptoms for performing a carpal tunnel release was only 50.0% and for performing carpal tunnel release with fat grafting was 92%, with P-value < 0.00. Conclusion: Adipose-derived stem cells as an adjunct to carpal tunnel release increased the rate of improvement in symptoms of carpal tunnel compression after recurrence compared to carpal tunnel release alone. Further studies need to be performed to confirm the validity of these findings.
A STUDY ON CRITICAL FACTORS OF DIGITALIZATION IN REVERSE LOGISTICS
Authors: OZEN Yesim , YAVAŞ Volkan
Published: January 2023

Reverse logistics or closed loop supply chains play a critical role in todays’ business environment in order to achieve sustainable practices that include environmentally, socially and economic considerations. Reverse logistics covers the collection of end-of-life phased products from end users, and continue with recovery processes i.e. reuse, remanufacturing, recycling, refurbishment, and disposal. These activities have significant impacts on environmental and social issues as well as economic conditions of the company. Therefore, closed loop structures become essential for organizations, and reverse logistics becomes an indisputable element of the supply chains. Rapid digitalization in industry, so called Industry 4.0 or digital era, can be seen as a great opportunity to support and improve reverse logistics operations to contribute sustainability. Although, the relationship between sustainable practices and digital operations received the attention of both practitioners and academicians, the current literature lacks in providing factors that directly covers digitalization implementations in reverse logistics activities. From this point of view, this study, firstly, aims to propose critical factors for digitalization in reverse logistics, and secondly evaluate them to make a prioritization for practical implementations. To achieve these aims, initially a literature review will be conducted to propose critical factors that are supported by the literature. Secondly, Fuzzy-Entropy Weighting Method is going to be used to prioritize these factors and to reveal the most important concepts. At the end of the study, it is expected to contribute the literature by providing new concepts and suggesting future research ideas based on the results.
Plasma Facing Material by Self-Interstitial Solid Solution Strengthening – Problem, Proposition, and a Solution
Authors: Rafique Muhammad Musaddique Ali
Published: January 2023

Bubble (point defect) – a precursor of fuzz or under dense nanostructure formation is crystal lattice defect. Suitable selection of crystal lattice which inhibit Frenkel pair generation and intrinsically promotes selfinterstitial solid solution strengthening contributes effectively towards making plasma facing material. For this, interstitial sites, their size, amount / fraction, positions, tendency of occupation and diffusion parameters (e.g. activation energies (Q), activation volumes) are determined. Fcc iron carbon alloys (austenitic stainless steels AISI / SAE 321, fcc structure, Pearson code cF4, space group Fm3̅m) are proposed as suitable candidates. Along with their room temperature fcc structure having 12 interstitial positions (4 octahedral, 6 coordination sites and 8 tetrahedral, 4 coordination sites / unit cell) to allow insertion of self (iron) atoms, they have excellent corrosion resistance, thermal conductivity, and nonmagnetic properties. After their melting, casting, and machining to required dimensions and geometry, stabilizing heat treatment is applied to precipitate all carbon as TiC and prevent formation of Cr23C6 (sensitization). This resist heat and surface degradation and yield excellent architecture which not only inhibit Frankel pair generation but will also allow bulk assimilation or surface annihilation (loop punching) of this lattice point defect.

The Novelty of mRNA Vaccines and Potential Harms: A Scoping Review
Authors: Halma Matthew , Rose Jessica , Lawrie Theresa
Published: January 2023

Pharmacovigilance databases are showing evidence of injury in the context of the COVID-19 modified mRNA shots. According to recent publications, adverse event reports linked to the mRNA COVID-19 products largely point to the spike protein as an aetiological agent of adverse events, but we propose that the platform itself may be culpable. To assess the safety of current and future mRNA vaccines, further analysis on the risks due to the platform itself, and not specifically the expressed antigen. If harm can be exclusively and conclusively attributed to the spike protein, then it is possible that future mRNA vaccines expressing other antigens will be safe. If harms are attributable to the platform itself, then regardless of the toxicity, or lack thereof, of the chosen payload therein, the platform may be inherently unsafe, pending modification. In this work, we examine previous studies of RNA-based delivery by a lipid nanoparticle and break down the possible etiological elements of harm.
Structural Insights into Electrophiles and Electrophilic Metabolites Sensing and Signaling: The Missing Information
Authors: Rogg Chloé , Aye Yimon
Published: January 2023

Native reactive electrophile species (RES) are long-recognized regulators of pathophysiology; yet, knowledge surrounding how RES regulate context-specific biology remains limited. The latest technological advances in profiling and precision decoding of RES sensing and signaling have begun to bring about improved understanding of localized RES regulatory paradigms. However, studies in purified systems—prerequisites for gaining structure/function insights—prove challenging. We here introduce emerging chemical biology tools available to probe RES signaling, and the new knowledge that these tools have brought to the field. We next discuss existing structural data of RES-sensor proteins complexed with electrophilic metabolites or small molecule drugs (limited to < 300 Da), including challenges faced in acquiring homogenous RES-bound proteins. We further offer considerations that could promote enhanced understanding of RES regulation derived from three-dimensional structures of RES-modified proteins.
