Published: July 2023

Existing deep learning-based RGBT target tracking algorithms focus on extracting the features of each modal image separately by using the same CNN model, and then stitching the extracted features to achieve the fusion of multimodal data. However, the reliability of single-modal visible light images and infrared light images will degrades with time shift, and when one of the modal data is unreliable, the related operations of feature extraction and fusion of the two modal data tend to introduce discriminative information that impairs tracking robustness, and makes it easy to lose the initial target in long-time tracking. To this end, we design a Feature-wise transformations network for feature modulation for RGBT target tracking to ensure that the information fusion between the two modalities is as complementary as possible to the strengths of the multimodal data. Most of the existing RGBT tracking algorithms focus on the fusion of multimodal information, and the selection of the target frame mainly depends on the classification confidence of classifying the object as the target or background. Due to the classification confidence and the localization confidence may not match, it is easy to cause inaccurate target localization. In order to improve the localization accuracy of the tracking process, we optimize the instance adapter in the MANet al.gorithm with a new method of updating the classification confidence based on the sample box with the highest localization confidence, and design a new method of updating the localization confidence based on the sample box with the highest classification confidence to obtain the final candidate sample box for bounding box regression. The three improvements are applied to the MANet al.gorithm to construct a new RGBT target tracking network, and the test results on three benchmark datasets of RGBT target tracking show that our improvements are effective in improving the accuracy and success rate of the tracker.

In this study, a biosensor chip was fabricated using MoS2, which is used to detect and analyze the level of cancerization in lung cancer cells. Cancer is the leading cause of mortality worldwide, accounting for over 10 million deaths in 2022, or roughly one death in every six patients. Consequently, society places a high value on cancer prevention and treatment methods. Thus, developing the quickest method to detect cancer and provide correct analytical information for the clinic at an early stage of cancer is very important. It has constantly been the focus of reciprocal relationships and collaborative efforts between the academic and medical sectors. The MoS2 thin film was grown on the light-absorbing layer substrate of silicon-based solar elements through chemical vapor deposition and combined with a self-designed serrated interdigitated electrode (SIE) through the carrier transport mechanism of photogenerated charges. The three types of lung cancer cell clinical samples—CL1, NCI-H460, and NCI-H520 cell lines were subjected to photoelectric flow measurement. The experimental results showed that the R-Square of the linear fitting curve was approximately 98%. In addition, the device was enhanced by 38% when a double-layer MoS2 film was added. GSSGs reaction analysis can be further enhanced.

Published: July 2023

Background
Febrile seizure (FS), which occurs as a response to fever, is the most common seizure that occurs in infants and young children. FS is usually accompanied by diverse neuropsychiatric symptoms including impaired social behaviors; however, no causative link between FS and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has yet been established. Here, we provide evidence linking FS occurrence with ASD pathogenesis in rats.
Methods
We inducted febrile seizures through a mercury vapor lamp using infantile rats (postnatal 11 days). At 3 and 12 weeks after FS induction, we examined behavioral tests and immunostaining to identify the association of ASD-like phenotype development with inflammatory damage.
Results
We developed an FS juvenile rats model and found ASD-like abnormal behaviors including deficits in social novelty, repetitive behaviors, and hyperlocomotion. In addition, FS model juvenile rats showed enhanced levels of gliosis and inflammation in the hippocampal CA2 region and cerebellum. Furthermore, abnormal levels of social and repetitive behaviors persisted in adults FS model rats.
Conclusion
These findings suggest that occurrence of FS in infants can cause behavioral endophenotypes of ASD.
GIMPF: Graph Interactive Multivariate Prediction Fusion for Few-shot Learning of Object Detectors
Authors: Meng Xiaoyan , Zhang Guoliang , Xu Tao , Wu Peng
Published: July 2023

Few-shot learning raises problems like supervisory collapse due to class imbalance and pseudo-labels unreliability, which seriously hinder the performance improvement of few-shot object detection. To solve the above problems, the paper proposed a model of few-shot object detection based on graph interaction multivariate prediction fusion. Firstly, the feature extraction network with a semantic attention mechanism is designed to adaptively adjust the new class features so that to obtain high-quality new classes pseudo-labels. Second, visual features are converted into graphical features by constructing graph interaction mechanisms using implicit relationships between objects to optimize and improve the accuracy of pseudo-labels. Finally, the multi-classifier object detection mechanism is used to achieve accurate classification and localization of few-shot objects. The simulation was designed to validate the performance of the proposed model in the MS-COCO dataset and PASCAL VOC dataset and compare it with existing state-of-the-art and representative models. The experiments prove that the detection results of the proposed model in this paper outperform other models in terms of visual effects and objective data.

Solid-state sensors that make advantage of the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers of diamonds are a desirable option for a sensing platform because of their high sensitivity,spatial resolution, and accuracy.These sensors have been developed in bulky laboratory-based forms, but for use in practical applications, a small, portable sensor that can operate in a variety of environmental conditions is needed.The diamond NV magnetic field sensor shown here is one of the inventions we made.Using a 3D copper mold to entirely enclose the diamond,the fluorescence collection efficiency was actually raised in the 4.2cm 3 device volume, showing that the copper mold inner film may indeed boost the fluorescence collecting efficiency. The experimental comparison revealed that the FWEC has 1.2 times more contrast than the fluorescence microscope system. In addition, the contrast was 2.5 times higher than that of the two-dimensional quantum magnetometer system .The sensor has a sensitivity of less than 30nT/ √ Hz over a bandwidth of 10 Hz.By maximizing the coupling of 532 nm pump light, the diamond is sliced at the Brewster angle,which enables us to effectively capture fluorescence using an optical filter and diode in close proximity to the diamond.The goal of this study is to determine whether it is possible to use this adaptive approach to obtain sub − nT/ √ Hzshot noise constrained sensitivity,which is ideal for detecting a 1 variety of low-level magnetic fields, including those produced by biological sources and electrical power systems.

Published: July 2023

Physical unclonable function (PUF) labels have emerged as a promising candidate for achieving unbreakable anticounterfeiting. Despite their significant progress, two challenges for developing practical PUF systems remain, namely 1) fairly few high-dimensional encoded labels with excellent material properties, and 2) existing authentication methods with poor noise tolerance or inapplicability to untrained labels. Herein, we employ the linear polarization modulation of randomly distributed fluorescent nanodiamonds (FNDs) to demonstrate, for the first time, three-dimensional encoding for diamond-based labels. Briefly, our 3D encoding scheme provides digitized images with an encoding capacity of 109771 and high distinguishability under a short readout time of 7.5 s. The ultrahigh photostability and inertness of FNDs endow our labels with high reproducibility and long-term stability. To address the second challenge, we employ a deep metric learning algorithm to develop a novel authentication methodology that computes the similarity of deep features of digitized images, exhibiting a superior noise tolerance than the classical point-by-point comparison method. Meanwhile, it overcomes the key limitation of existing artificial intelligence (AI)-driven classification-based methods, i.e., inapplicability to untrained PUF labels. Considering the high performance of both FND PUF labels and deep metric learning authentication, our work paves the way for developing practical PUF anticounterfeiting systems.
SARS-CoV-2 CQ.1 and CQ.1.1 lineage isolates: 100% synonymous base substitution at furin arginine CGG–CGG codons
Authors: Romeu Antonio R.
Published: July 2023

The SARS‐CoV2 spike glycoprotin S1/S2 junction not only has no analogy in other becoronaviruses, including neither the Laos closest known relatives, but also it has two arginine codons CGG–CGG, whose usage is extremely rare in coronaviruses. The 12-nt SARS-CoV-2 S gene insert having that CGG–CGG genetic footprint 100% match to several human mRNA RefSeq transcripts which are located in exons of ubiquitous and highly expressed genes or specific genes of target human tissues of virus infection. An hypothesis for the probable human origin of the S1/S2 junction polybasic motif (originally PRRA) includes that it has been acquired by recombination between the genome of a SARS-CoV-2 progenitor and mRNA transcripts within human infected cells. Since the furin arginine pair is essential for virus infection to human cells and arginine has six codons SARS-CoV-2 can optimize the CGG–CGG codons. Here I show that in a sample of the available GISAID SARS-CoV-2 CQ.1 (516) and CQ.1.1 (117) lineage isolates the 100% of them showed synonymous base substitution at this position. The CGG–CGG footrprint to have changed to CGT–CGG. The location of the CQ.1 lineage isolates was: Asia 8.30% (45 isolates), Europe 76.57% (415), North America 6.64% (36), Oceania 8.30% (45) and South America 0.18% (1). That of CQ.1.1 lineage isolates was: Europe 45.6% (57) and North America 54.4 (68). Based on NCBI Virus database SARS-CoV-2 lineages associated to spike glycoprotein sequences I created a SARS-CoV-2 lineage ranking the from earliest CQ.1 date (August 30, 2022) up to date. Of 418,257 records, there were 1,165 distinct lineages. Ranking positions for CQ.1 and CQ.1.1 lineages were 582 and 506, respectivaly, both in the second quartile. These results coincide with those obtained previosly in SARS-CoV-2 CQ.2 and EE.2 lineage isolates. Everything points to that through evolution SARS-CoV-2 adapts the extremely rare CGG–CGG footprint to its own genomic parameters, thereby also erasing an evidence on its origin.
Anthropogenic deterioration over the past 753 years in the Western Ghats of southern India's Honnamanakere Lake
Authors: Mir Ishfaq Ahmad , Jaiswal Jooly , Bhattacharya Anindya
Published: July 2023

Understanding historical pollution is essential since anthropogenic contamination is destroying the Western Ghats' delicate ecosystem. The paleotoxicity in Honnamanakere Lake, southern India, is explored using a sediment core that has been radiocarbon dated and spans the last 753 years. With the exception of Ni, the core's Cr, Cu, Zn, Pb, and Hg contents rise from bottom to top. According to multivariate statistics, the sources of Cr, Cu, and Zn are agrochemical; the sources of Pb and Hg are atmospheric emissions; and the sources of Ni are mixed. From the bottom to the top of the core, the geoaccumulation index and enrichment factor both rise. The most serious threat to the water body comes from Cr and Ni, which are greatly enriched and highly contaminated. The toxic risk indices for Cu, Zn, Pb, and Hg indicate negligible toxic risk, low toxic risk for Cr, and moderate toxic risk for Ni. The water body and its biota are at a 49% hazardous risk from heavy metals, according to the mean probable-effects-levels quotient. Heavy metal enrichment, accumulation, and toxic risks have increased in the sediment core during the past 300 years, coinciding with the anthropogenic Industrial age.
The velocity of light change, caused by the relative velocity between the observer and light
Authors: Kim Teak , Kim Teak , Chang Jae
Published: July 2023

This study aims to experimentally verify the principle of constant velocity of light and Galilean
relativity. Special relativity states that the velocity of light is constant to all observers, but there
has been no study that had experimentally verified the principle of constant velocity of light as
the velocity of the light source increases with respect to the observer. This paper aims to
experimentally verify the principle of a constant velocity of light by using the velocity of the
image data signal sent by Voyager 1 to Earth.

The experiment is performed by dividing the distance of the light path between Voyager 1 and
Earth by the delay time for the signal from Voyager 1 to reach Earth. If the principle of the
velocity of light is correct, the velocity of the signal will be the same as the velocity of light in the
vacuum. But if Galilean relativity is correct, the velocity of the signal will be the velocity of light
minus the velocity of Voyager 1.

Analyzing the velocity of the signal shows that the velocity of the signal does not match the
velocity of light in the vacuum. Furthermore, the velocity of the signal decreases in inverse
proportion to the increase in the velocity of Voyager 1, suggesting that the velocity of Voyager 1
affects the velocity of light.

This phenomenon can be an example of Galilean relativity being applied to the velocity of light.

Published: July 2023

Background: Women in urban slums were particularly susceptible due to a lack of knowledge about sexual and reproductive health (SRH), and abortion was frequently performed. In this study, reproductive-aged women who have had abortions and lived in urban slums in Dhaka, Bangladesh, are evaluated for their level of SRHR knowledge and its predictors.
Methods: We adopted a cross-sectional survey among the reproductive aged women experienced any sorts of abortion from July 2020 to January 2022 living in the UHDSS sites, applying a predefined interviewer assisted survey questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (i.e., mean, standard error, and 95% confidence interval (CI)) for continuous and percentage distribution for categorical variables. Bi-variate analysis was used to look for associations. After checking the assumptions, multinomial regression analysis was used to confirm the determinants with 95% CIs.
Results: Total of 338 women were participated (221 spontaneous abortion and 117 induced abortion) with average age of 26.59 ±0.355, first age at marriage 16.69 ±0.173, and marital length of 9.45 ±0.386. Except for the use of emergency contraceptives (32%), many women correctly identified condom effectiveness for preventing pregnancy (89%), STDs and HIV/AIDS prevention (79-80%), and abortion (98%). 34 to 64% of them experienced stigmas attached to sexually explicit items. Few of them knew about abortion complications (9 to 57%), with the exception of bleeding associated with abortion (91.7%). Overall, ¾ women lacked sufficient SRH knowledge, with a mean score of 58.28 (95% CI: 56.70, 59.87), which was slightly higher for women who had spontaneous abortions 58.90 (95% CI: 57.02, 60.78) and lower for women who had induced abortions 57.69 (95% CI: 54.94, 60.45). Women who were older (p <0.05), had a higher education (p <0.01), and received post-abortion family planning counseling (p< 0.001) had adequate SRH knowledge.
Conclusion: Our findings can be used in the abortion policies and strategies for vulnerable women and we recommend an intervention of increase awareness and knowledge on SRH is essential for those women to achieve the maternal reproductive health parameters.

This paper investigated exchange rate, interest rate, and economic development in Nigeria between 1980 and 2020. The study employed secondary data and sourced from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and World Bank Data Indicators covering periods of 1980 to 2020. The data were analyzed using correlation analysis, Johansen Co integration, and co integration regression Fully Modified ordnalist Square methods (FMOLS) were employed to established long run influence of exchange rate and interest rate on economic development. The study showed that long run relationship existed between exchange rate, interest rate, and economic development in Nigeria. Specifically, a number of results were obtained: in the case of HDI, economic development is negatively related to exchange rate; interest rate had significant relationship with economic development in Nigeria; and the interactive relationships of exchange rate and interest rate had a significant positive relationship with economic development. Using per capita income as a measurement of economic development revealed that; exchange rate had positive relationship withi economic development; the interactive effects of exchange rate and interest rate is positive and significant on economic development. Therefore, the study recommends that; proactive management of Nigeria’s exchange rate and interest rate must be the top priority of the country’s monetary authority. Therefore, the monetary authority through Central Bank of Nigeria should, as a matter of urgency, stabilize the nation’s exchange rate and improve the nation’s interest rate in a bid to attract investment and improve the nation’s capital accumulation necessary for long term economic development.

The purpose of this article is to characterise challenges and opportunities in the ‘business-education-science’ system in the context of innovation development based on cross-country cluster analysis. The article examines the relationship between science, education and business and their mutual influence on modern society. The main challenges facing science, education and business are considered, and opportunities for cooperation between these fields to overcome them are identified. Key factors that influence the effectiveness of scientific research, the quality of education, and the success of business are also determined, with an emphasis on the important role of cooperation in the ‘business-education-science’ system in ensuring their impact. To reach article’s purpose, a complex methodology was applied, which includes the following stages: collection of information about the current state of science, education, and business; a review of expert opinions and analytical reports on the problems of the interaction of science, education and business; methods of cross-country cluster analysis using STATISTICA 10 software (the k-Means method, the square of the Euclidean metric, etc. for a comparative analysis between 19 countries from a sample to find out which of them have better indicators in the respective fields). The statistical base is formed from the European Union and the WIPO data, which cover 10 key indicators in the context of the development of science, education and business and their affect the country’s competitiveness in the global world. As a result, there are two formed clusters: the first includes the USA and China that have the highest level of education-science-business development and the second cluster includes other countries from the sample with a less developed education-science-business sector. For these countries the recommendations have been developed to strengthen their education-science-business sector, in particular: creating favourable conditions for investing in science and business, attracting talented scientists, and supporting their activities, increasing allocations for education, and improving the quality of education, strengthening partnerships between universities and enterprises to create innovative projects and other activities. The obtained results can be useful for further research and for making managerial decisions at different levels of government in the context of innovation development, including through the strengthening of coopetition between business, education, and science.

Published: July 2023

This article summarizes the arguments and counterarguments within the scientific debate on the issue of the waste management system as a key determinant of green development and the transformation of the energy balance. The main goal of the research is to analyze the structure of energy production and its impact on the environment in the context of waste management as a key determinant of green development, taking into account the current realities of the war in Ukraine. The systematization of literary sources and approaches to solving the problem of changing the structure of the energy balance within the framework of the green development paradigm proved that the scientific community began to more actively explore alternative ways of changing the structure of the energy balance, also the results of the bibliometric analysis proved the formation of several scientific directions in the study of the waste management system as determinants of the impact on green development and the transformation of the country’s energy balance. The urgency of solving this scientific problem lies in the fact that the production of primary energy produces about 75% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Accordingly, the main source of continuous work of all spheres of the national economy is one of the biggest sources of negative impact on the environment and climate change. The study of the issue of the waste management system as a key determinant of green development and the transformation of the energy balance in the article is carried out in the following logical sequence: the first stage – bibliometric analysis based on Scopus and Web of Science data; the second stage is a comparative analysis of the structure of the energy balance (production and consumption) of Ukraine; the third stage is scenario forecasting of the transformation of the energy balance based on the Brown model. The methods of bibliometric, comparative analysis and scenario forecasting became the methodical tools of the conducted research, the period of the study was 2000-2020. Ukraine was chosen as the object of the study, since it is important to study all possible ways of increasing economic, environmental and energy security, taking into account the war and post-war periods. The article presents the results of scenario forecasting, which proved that biofuels and waste are one of the promising sources of primary energy in the structure of the energy balance of Ukraine. The study empirically confirms and theoretically proves that the government of Ukraine needs to investigate promising directions for the modernization of the energy balance structure. The results of the conducted research can be useful for evaluating the transmission mutual effects of waste management, energy balance, public health, and the state of the environment.

Published: July 2023

Nursery growers rely on fungicides to manage root rot disease of boxwood caused by Phytophthora nicotianae and P. cinnamomi. Repeated use of the same fungicide may lead to the fungicide resistance. In this study, fungicides pyraclostrobin + cyazofamid (Empress + Segway), ametoctradin + dimethomorph (Orvego), ametoctradin + dimethomorph alternated with pyraclostrobin (Orvego alt Empress), ametoctradin + dimethomorph alternated with fluxapyroxad + pyraclostrobin (Orvego alt Orkestra), and oxathiapiprolin (Segovis) were evaluated for their efficacy in managing Phytophthora root rot under greenhouse conditions in Tennessee. One-year-old container-grown boxwood ‘Green Velvet’ plants were inoculated with P. nicotianae or P. cinnamomi. The first applications of fungicide treatments were made preventatively as a drench 48 h before pathogen inoculation. Following inoculation, four applications of fungicide treatments were performed on a 14-day intervals. Initial and final plant height and width were measured. Total plant fresh weight and root fresh weight were measured at the end of the trials, and plants were evaluated for root rot severity (0% to 100% roots affected) and pathogen recovery. All fungicides significantly reduced root rot severity and pathogen recovery of P. nicotianae and P. cinnamomi. Ametoctradin + dimethomorph alternated with pyraclostrobin (Orvego alt Empress) provided similar protection against P. cinnamomi to that of a single application of ametoctradin + dimethomorph (Orvego) or oxathiapiprolin (Segovis). For P. nicotianae, ametoctradin + dimethomorph alternated with pyraclostrobin + fluzapyroxad (Orvego alt Orkestra) was found to be as effective as a single application of either ametoctradin + dimethomorph (Orvego) or oxathiapiprolin (Segovis) in one of the two trials. Effects of fungicides on plant growth such as height, width, total, and root fresh weight were not significant. These findings will be useful to nursery growers in selecting the right fungicide program for the management of root rot disease of boxwood caused by P. nicotianae and P. cinnamomi.

Published: July 2023

Crabapples (Malus sp.) are ornamental woody plants that belong to the Rosaceae family. Flooding has severely hampered the growth and development of crabapple, and little is known about the molecular responses of crabapple to waterlogging tolerance. Cuttings of waterlogging-tolerant Malus hupehensis and waterlogging-intolerant Malus halliana received flooding treatment of 30 days and regular planting, respectively. Using transcriptome sequencing, we isolated 5703 and 2735 waterlogging-responsive genes from waterlogging-treated M. hupehensis and M. halliana leaves. Among these differentially expressed genes (DEGs), only 746 were shared by both. Several variables may explain the greater waterlogging tolerance of M. hupehensis: there were more waterlogging response genes related to carbohydrate and energy metabolism; signal transduction; antioxidation; lipid metabolism; protein and amino acid metabolism; and polysaccharide, cell wall, and cytoskeleton metabolism pathway in the waterlogged leaves of M. hupehensis than in M. halliana. In particular, the number of DEGs related to anaerobic metabolism, fatty acid metabolism, protein phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, γ-aminobutyric acid metabolism and cellulase, pectinase metabolism pathway in the flooded leaves of M. hupehensis was more than that in M. halliana. The alterations in gene expression patterns of the two crabapple species induced by waterlogging varied substantially. These outcomes pave the way for further studies into the functions of genes that may be involved in waterlogging tolerance in crabapples.

The BumpHunter algorithm is widely used in the search for new particles in High Energy Physics analysis. This algorithm offers the advantage of evaluating the local and global p-values of a localized deviation in the observed data without making any hypothesis on the supposed signal. The increasing popularity of the Python programming language motivated the development of a new public implementation of this algorithm in Python, called pyBumpHunter, together with several improvements and additional features. It is the first public implementation of the BumpHunter algorithm to be added to Scikit-HEP. This paper presents in detail the BumpHunter algorithm as well as all the features proposed in this implementation. All these features have been tested in order to demonstrate their behaviour and performance.

Branding strategy is crucial in strengthening firms’ market competitiveness. This study examined the influence of brand equity of luxury brands on attitudinal responses and behavioral intentions of consumers towards electronic word-of-mouth. The population of this study was consumers in Saudi Arabia who search about online reviews of luxury brands on social media platforms. This study used a convenience sampling technique. The research data were collected on-line from 277 luxury brand consumers in Saudi Arabia using a quantitative Likert-type survey. SPSS and Pearson’s correlation coefficient were used to examine the research hypotheses. The results of this study showed that brand equity and its components (brand image and brand awareness) have significant positive relationships with consumer attitude towards electronic word-of-mouth, as values of correlation coefficient were r = 0.440 and r = 0.396, respectively, at a significance level less than 0.01. Additionally, the results indicated that brand image and brand awareness have significant positive relationships with consumer intention to follow electronic word-of-mouth, as values of correlation coefficient were r = 0.336, r = 0.360, respectively, at a significance level less than 0.01. The findings of this study provide valuable theoretical and practical implications for managers and marketers in the luxury brand sector.

Authors: Roedavan Rickman , Siradj Yahdi , Stefany Stella
Published: July 2023

Educational games are digital products resulting from the application of game-based learning concepts. The main factors forming educational games include combining a learning subject with challenging elements and engaging visualization. Most educational games translate the challenge component of the game in the form of multiple choice quizzes, questions, answers, or puzzle solving. This result causes the mechanical structure of educational games less interesting than the mechanics of entertainment games. This paper proposes a scenario development model for educational games derived from the game goal typology commonly found in entertainment games. This model is expected to be a reference for developing educational game scenarios that can enrich the types of mechanics and increase the engagement of an educational game. The proposed model in the research has been tested on two educational games, both of which received high attractiveness scores of 1.632 and 1.542 respectively on the User Experience Question (UEQ) scale.
Analysis of Judges' Legal Considerations Against the Sale of Joint Assets Without the Wife's Agreement in the Study of Positive Law in Indonesia
Authors: Lazuardi Galang , . Sulistyandari , Kunarti Siti
Published: July 2023

The sale and purchase of land rights is usually carried out by means of an agreement or what is known as a land rights sale and purchase agreement. In the case of the transfer of land rights, the formal conditions for the sale and purchase of land rights must be proven by a deed of sale and purchase drawn up by and before an authorized official. Before the sale and purchase agreement is carried out, it is usually done with the initial agreement which the deed is drawn up by a notary. The responsibilities of a notary as a public official include the responsibilities of the notary profession itself which are related to the deed, including, the responsibility of a notary in civil terms for the deed he makes relates to the material truth of the deed. Then regarding joint assets that are sold without the consent of the husband and/or wife, is it possible, and does the notary have any responsibility for that. Then there is a court decision regarding joint assets which legalizes the sale and purchase deed because of the good faith buyer's consideration as stipulated in the Supreme Court Circular Letter No.  7 of 2012. The purpose of this study is to analyze the responsibility of a Notary related to the sale and purchase of joint assets and the legal considerations of judges who decide cases based on a circular letter which is not a general rule but an internal one that is not well known to the public.

Achieving the set goal became possible thanks to the use of a complex of scientific research methods, in particular, dialectical, analysis and synthesis, structural-functional, formal-legal, formal-logical, comparative-legal, etc. Along with the analysis of the legislative categories "typical case" and "exemplary case", the features of such cases, a thorough description of the procedure for consideration of exemplary cases within the special administrative proceedings. The following stages of exemplary proceedings are distinguished as: submission of the case as exemplary; opening proceedings in a exemplary case and publication of a relevant announcement; consideration of the case and adoption of a exemplary decision; review of a exemplary decision. It is argued that the Supreme Court's decision in an exemplary case is the primary goal of ensuring predictability, consistency and uniformity of judicial enforcement in disputes of the same type. In addition, the need to distinguish between the legal opinions of the Supreme Court, formulated in the exemplary decisions and the legal opinions of the Supreme Court, formulated in the decisions on the results of cassation review of court cases, as having a different nature. Special attention is paid to the discussion of the possibility of implementing the institution of exemplary cases in other procedural orders, in particular, civil and economic proceedings. Based on the results of the research, the opinion is supported that despite the existing skepticism among scientists and the fundamental differences in the mechanism of legal regulation of public and private relations, the specificity of some types of private relations, which are characterized by mass, and disputes within the boundaries of which become the subject of judicial proceedings, allows to single out specific typological features of the relevant cases, and therefore, there is a possibility of their exemplary consideration according to the rules of civil procedure. This primarily concerns disputes in the field of consumer protection and tort disputes. In the aspect of the latter, as one of the catalysts for the introduction of the institute under study in civil proceedings, it may be necessary to address the issue of operational protection of civil rights of victims of Russian armed aggression against Ukraine.
