Authors: Şentürk Tuğba
Published: July 2024

Cyanobacteria (blue-green microalgae) is a gram-negative prokaryotic autotroph found in natural waters that plays a pivotal role in biochemical cycles. The present investigation proposed to study the potential of using different concentrations of glucose as the carbon substrate to produce microalgal biomass and biochemical components, such as photosynthetic pigments and total carbohydrates (CH) by Oscillatoria sp. The cyanobacteria were collected, and the isolated colony was found to be Oscillatoria sp., and it was grown in BG-11 medium for mass cultivation. Then, the centrifuged biomass was weighed and used to extract bioactive compounds. Oscillatoria sp. cells were cultured in three different tropic cultures (phototrophic, heterotrophic and mixotrophic) under controlled laboratory conditions with continuous light illumination or unillumination and aeration. Chl–a and total C.H. contents were also evaluated after 120 hrs. The recorded optical density of Oscillatoria was increased from 0.6798 ±0.01 at 660 nm and 0.5847 ±0.01 at 750 nm after 24 hrs to 1.2174±0.002 at 680nm and 1.0243±0.01 at 730nm at the end of 120hrs of the experiment. According to analysis results, the mean amount of Chl-a and Total C.H. of Oscillatoria sp. biomass was determined as 0.5132 µg L-1 and 3.5715 mg mL-1 under the phototrophic culture (absence of glucose), respectively. Under the mixotrophic culture (presence of light), the experimental results showed that the chl-a content was calculated as 0.1770, 0.3380 and 0.7098 µg L-1. In contrast, the total C.H. was calculated as 3.6150, 7.9129 and 11.3191 mg mL-1 in the presence of 2.5, 5 and 10 g L-1 glucose, respectively. Under the heterotrophic culture (absence of light), the results showed that the chl-a content was 0.2366, 0.2456 and 0.2346 µg L-1 while the total C.H. was 4.2969, 8.0990 and 11.5861 mg m L-1 in the presence of 2.5, 5 and 10 g L-1 glucose, respectively. The experimental results showed that the total C.H. content was increased from 3.5715 to 11.58 61 mg mL-1 in the heterotrophic (the absence of light and the presence of 10 g L-1 glucose) BG-11 culture conditions. The chlorophyll-a content was increased from 0.1770 µg L-1 to 0.7098 µg L-1 in the mixotrophic (the presence of glucose and light) BG-11 culture conditions. As a result of the experiment, it was determined that the most suitable culture in terms of total carbohydrate and growth rate was mixotrophic and heterotrophic BG-11 (10 g L-1 glucose) culture condition, and in terms of chl-a was mixotrophic culture (10 g L-1 glucose).

This study evaluated Tilapia sp.'s biological parameters and cholinesterase enzyme activity along the Maragondon River. The biological parameters assessed were length-weight relationship and condition factor. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) enzymes were measured in the brain, muscle, and hepatic tissues of Tilapia sp. Enzyme inhibition rates were then calculated at midstream and downstream stations relative to the reference site upstream. Results showed that Tilapia sp. exhibited negative allometric growth patterns (b < 3), supported by high correlation coefficients (0.86-0.94). The condition factor (K) values across sampling sites ranged from 1.94 to 3.82, indicating the overall fitness of Tilapia sp. However, AChE and BChE enzymes above the 20% threshold were observed at midstream and downstream stations of the river. Specifically, 49.03% and 48.41% inhibition in AChE and BChE of muscle tissue in midstream samples, 22.03% inhibition in the liver and 31.53% inhibition in muscle AChE at downstream station. The cholinesterase tissue localisation was also inferred, arranged from highest to lowest activity as follows: liver > brain > muscle. These findings provide valuable insights into the exposure of Tilapia sp. to cholinesterase inhibitors in Maragondon River, emphasising the importance of biomarkers in assessing the effect of environmental contaminants on aquatic organisms.

Polish adaptation of the Actively Open-Minded Thinking (AOT) questionnaire: Pomiar otwartego i elastycznego myślenia (POEM)
Authors: Błaszczak Anna , Klocek Marta
Published: July 2024

Aims
The aim of this research was to develop a Polish adaptation of the Actively Open-Minded Thinking (AOT) questionnaire. This questionnaire allows to assess the disposition to flexibly consider different problems from various perspectives, regardless of one’s initially favoured options, as well as the critical attitude in analysing information and forming opinions.
Methods
The research was conducted among two groups of adult participants. Validity of the AOT scale was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis, and correlation coefficient analyses between the scale’s results and the measures of need for cognition, need for closure or cognitive reflection. Internal consistency of the Polish adaptation of the AOT scale was evaluated using Cronbach’s alpha measure.
Results
Polish adaptation of the AOT questionnaire (Pomiar otwartego i elastycznego myślenia; POEM) satisfied the established reliability and validity criteria. Based on the conducted analyses, the instrument was significantly shortened relative to the original version of the AOT scale, with a similar approach seen in past research exploring the optimal item set with highest attainable psychometric properties. Internal consistency indices were sufficiently high and, in line with the researchers’ predictions, the instrument correlated with other measures of corresponding cognitive constructs.
Conclusions
AOT is a dynamic variable, dependent upon the influence of training or experience. Polish adaptation of the scale measuring the phenomenon is an instrument with promising psychometric properties, worth further investigation. The POEM scale can be valuable in assessing open-minded thinking in educational settings, in research investigating the conditions facilitating social categorisation or radicalisation.
Dependence of the Light Transmission Coefficients of Multifunctional Glazing on the Angle of Incidence of Radiation
Authors: SHUBIN I.L. , KORKINA E.V. , ZEMTSOV V.V. , KUCHEROV S.S.
Published: July 2024

The operation of buildings with translucent facades increases the load on the heating and ventilation system due to transmission heat losses through the glazing, and on the air conditioning system due to possible overheating in summer. For this reason, glazing with sun protection, low-emissivity and multifunctional coatings is used in such facades. The characteristics of translucent enclosing structurers, as calculated according to normative documents, are taken into account when calculating the load on heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, as well as when selecting the structures themselves in a given climate in order to save energy. In this case, the characteristics of the glazing were obtained in laboratory conditions when the radiation is perpendicular to the glazing, which is different from field conditions where the sun rays fall on the glazing at an angle. The available research works on the transmittance of solar radiation falling on glazing at an angle is based on laboratory studies, where various physical processes cannot be manifested and accounted for. Currently, research is being conducted in the Research Institute of Building Physics of the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences to determine the empirical dependence of the light transmission coefficients of glazing with special coatings on the angle of incidence of the sun rays. The article presents part of the research and considers the determination of the light transmission coefficient of glazing with and without coatings from the angle of incidence of solar radiation.

Published: July 2024

Currently, the issue of reuse of various materials that have served their useful life, as well as waste from the production of these materials, has become relevant in all areas of industry. The use of modern technologies already makes it possible to efficiently process various wastes, but in most cases the use of raw materials obtained in this way poses a serious task for engineers and technologists. One of the most common products of the construction industry is a different kind of insulation, as an integral part of the structure, which provides effective energy protection of buildings from heat loss during cold periods of the year. Mineral wool, as an effective method of protection, is actively used now and was popular in the 20th century. Many buildings, when decommissioned, respectively, contain insulation in the mass of waste, creating the task of developing methods for using it repeatedly or after recycling.
Fault–Based Liability for Medical Malpractice in the Age of Artificial Intelligence: Α Comparative Analysis of German and Greek Medical Liability Law in View of the Challenges Posed by AI Systems
Authors: Maroudas Vasileios P.
Published: July 2024

The rapid developments in the field of AI pose intractable problems for the law of civil liability. The main question that arises in this context is whether a fault-based liability regime can provide sufficient protection to victims of harm caused by the use of ΑΙ. This article addresses this question specifically in relation to medical malpractice liability. Its main purpose is to outline the problems that autonomous systems pose for medical liability law, but more importantly, to determine whether and to what extent a fault-based system of medical liability can adequately address them. In order to approach this issue, a comparative examination of German and Greek law will be undertaken. These two systems, while similar in substantive terms, differ significantly at the level of the burden of proof. In this sense, their comparison serves as a good example to “test” the adequacy of the fault principle in relation to AI systems in the field of medicine, but also to illustrate the practical importance that rules on the allocation of the burden of proof can have in cases of damage caused by the use of AI. As will eventually become apparent, the main problem appears to lie not in the fault principle itself, which, for the time being, at least in the form of objectified negligence, seems to protect the patient adequately, but mainly in the general rule for the allocation of the burden of proof, which is precisely why the fault principle ends up working to the detriment of the patient.
Informed Consent for the Use of AI in the Process of Providing Medical Services
Authors: Wałdoch Katarzyna
Published: July 2024

It has been for several years now that physicians use medical devices based on artificial intelligence (AI) in their professional practice. The use of these tools makes health services more personalized, tailored to the individual characteristics and needs of the patient. There is also a technological possibility for AI systems to provide patients with information regarding their health condition and treatment methods. The use of medical devices equipped with AI creates new types of risk, including the risk of algorithmic error, the risk of cyber-attack, and the risk of algorithmic mismatch (false-positive or false-negative results). Most patients do not know these tools, so not everyone will trust them. Obtaining informed consent from the patient is a necessary condition for any medical intervention. This study attempts to answer the following questions: (1) Is there a legal possibility to provide AI with the ability to inform the patient about their health condition and proposed treatment methods?; (2) Does the unpredictability and opacity of AI behavior affect the scope of information that should be provided to the patient before medical intervention?; (3) What information should the physician provide to the patient for this consent to be considered informed?; (4) Should the patient always be informed that AI was involved in the diagnosis or therapeutic process? The presented study uses comparative law methodology. American, Belgian and German law are analysed.

Social Enterprises and Health Care Services within the European Legal Framework
Authors: Santuari Alceste
Published: July 2024

Social enterprises (SEs) are organizations that pursue a purpose of general interest through the carrying out of economic activities on a steady and permanent basis. Despite the legal, economic and social differences among the Member States (MSs) of the European Union, SEs display at least two similar characteristics. Firstly, SEs are capable of combining entrepreneurial activities together with the pursuit of a social mission. Secondly, SEs largely deliver health care services both independently and in close partnership with public authorities, either through public procurement or by means of direct co-operation agreements. In this perspective, modern welfare systems rely heavily on a significant proportion of health care services and benefits provided by SEs. In addition, in some MSs, such as Italy, SEs are supported by enabling legal frameworks, which also include some important tax benefits. Against this background, the article aims to shed light on the legal aspects and the role of SEs in the delivery of health care services as well as their contribution to ensuring citizens/patients their fundamental right to health.

Artykuł jest poświęcony formom życia osobistego preferowanym przez młodych dorosłych. W postępowaniu badawczym zwrócono uwagę na następujące kwestie: forma życia osobistego, w jakiej badani chcieliby żyć w przyszłości; w przypadku wskazania na związek małżeński – rodzaj ślubu, jaki młodzi dorośli chcieliby zawrzeć w przyszłości; stosunek respondentów do kohabitacji przedmałżeńskiej; opinia ankietowanych na temat wieku, w jakim najlepiej jest zawrzeć związek małżeński oraz na temat instytucji małżeństwa. Badaniami objęto 204 osoby w okresie wczesnej dorosłości, tj. w wieku 18–19 lat. W badaniach posłużono się metodą sondażu diagnostycznego i techniką ankiety. Wyniki badań dowiodły, że większość młodych dorosłych chce w przyszłości zawrzeć związek małżeński, w tym ponad połowa w formie konkordatowej. Wstępem do legalizacji związku małżeńskiego miałaby być kohabitacja przedmałżeńska trwająca od roku do dwóch lat. Zdaniem maturzystów optymalny wiek na zawarcie małżeństwa to wiek między 25. a 30. rokiem życia. Badani wyrazili pogląd, że małżeństwo ma i zawsze będzie mieć duże znaczenie, chociaż obecnie jest postrzegane inaczej niż w przeszłości.

Authors: Akimkin V. G.
Published: July 2024

Antimicrobial resistance in pathogens is a global problem associated with millions of additional deaths per year. In addition to the risks to human, animal and environmental health, this phenomenon undermines the functioning of agri-food systems. Rospotrebnadzor is doing its best to counteract the spread of antibiotic resistance in Russia, both through medical organizations and through food products. The Central Research Institute of Epidemiology of Rospotrebnadzor has established the heterogeneity of populations of ESKAPE pathogens. t has been shown that even within the same line, pathogenic isolates can have their own distinctive features formed during the process of evolution. The clonal similarity of strains isolated from food, as well as the circulation in the food chain of transmissible genes KPC, NDM, MBLBS, which cause multidrug resistance in bacteria, pose a threat to public health.
For timely and adequate diagnosis, carrying out epidemiological surveillance and preventing the widespread spread of antimicrobial resistance, the institute’s specialists are developing sets of reagents that allow prompt detect single genes associated with resistance directly in biological material. Currently, domestic scientists are working on creating a system for monitoring resistant strains and genetic determinants of resistance (genomic epidemiological surveillance).

Published: July 2024

Corruption can be defined as an extraordinary crime. The consequences of corruption crimes can damage democratic values, morals (local wisdom), harm the country's finances and/or economy, and violate the social and economic rights of the community. Agencies responsible for investigating and prosecuting criminal acts of corruption include the police, prosecutor's office, and the Corruption Eradication Commission. Corruption is defined as the actions of those in positions of authority, including politicians and civil servants, who enrich themselves illegally and unfairly, abusing the power entrusted to them by society. Corruption is defined as the misappropriation of state or government funds (including those of companies, organizations, and foundations) for personal or other individuals' interests. It is imperative that law enforcement agencies prioritize focus, prevention, and strengthening. The research method employed is a legal and doctrinal approach, which examines secondary data. The author concludes that corruption persists and that the integrity of law enforcement officers is questionable. To eradicate corruption, it is necessary to re-focus on methods such as "follow the money" and "asset recovery." It is also essential to make legal breakthroughs regarding digital exposure or publication, and to implement prevention and control of criminal acts of corruption, including carrying out prevention and education efforts within political parties.Â Abstrak Korupsi dapat diakualifikasikan kejahatan luar biasa, akibat kejahatan korupsi dapat merusak nilai-nilai demokrasi, moral (kearifan lokal), merugikan keuangan dan/ perekonomian negara, melanggar hak-hak sosial dan ekonomi masyarakat.

This study extensively elaborates the approach towards making ease in 3D milling of Titanium Alloy Grade 5; by adapting the controlled parameters and specific strategies in cutting tool encroachment in milling. Every manufacturer is anxious about the machinability index (20%) of Ti6Al4V, which affects the machining efficiency proportionally. During machining, Phase alteration above the 8820C produces a Beta lamellar equiaxed microstructure, which is hard; also, limited thermal conductivity allows the generated heat towards the cutting tool to lead the Thermo-assisted wear. Higher temperatures also initiated chemically eagerness of Ti6Al4V and reacted with cutting tool edge and escorts towards catastrophic failure. The difficult Machinability demonstrates the detrimental notable effect on the cutting tool's health and follows the Ti6Al4V surface quality. The Cooling methods can flush out chips and frictional heat with ample lubrication, desirably controlling the worse effect of Machinability to some extent blissfully. The cutting tool material and coating, has chemically inert and excellent thermal conductivity with an aggressive rake angle with higher relief angle, improves the shearing tendency of Ti6Al4V by avoiding smearing, ultimately speculated surface quality with desired Tool life through higher Machining efficiency in milling.

Research aims: This study analyzes the relationship between financial performance and gender diversity on the board of directors and environmental performance in non-financial companies, while also examining the moderating role of financial constraints and company size.Design/Methodology/Approach: In this study, panel data analysis was conducted on 75 non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange that participated in the PROPER program from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia from 2018 to 2022.Research findings: The research findings suggest that financial performance and gender diversity are predictors that have a significant impact on the corporate environmental performance variable. However, the study also revealed that company size does not have a moderation effect, except for the level of debt-to-capital ratio, which acts as a quasi-moderation.Theoretical contribution/ Originality: This study offers valuable new insights into the environmental performance of non-financial companies in Indonesia. It specifically assesses their participation in the PROPER program, run by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry. Prior research has not extensively investigated environmental performance within this context. Additionally, the study incorporates financial performance components such as debt-to-capital ratio and sales growth, serving as a proxy for financial performance, in addition to return on assets.Practitioner/Policy implication: This research can be useful for public companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange and provide input to the government, as a reference to increase awareness and environmental management in public companies in Indonesia.Research limitation/Implication: This study gathered data from 2018 to 2022, a period marked by the significant global event, COVID-19 outbreak. Future research should explore how exceptional events, particularly the COVID-19 crisis, influence company performance from the early stages of the pandemic to the recovery period. Such an investigation would produce more accurate outcomes.
