Now one of the urgent problems in dairy cattle breeding is the shortage of workers and specialists. The solution to the problem is the introduction of a voluntary robotic milking system. (Research purpose) The research purpose is conducting a comparative analysis of milking robots of the most popular manufacturers in the world, such as Lely, DeLaval, Gea Farm Technologies. (Materials and methods) Studies were carried out on three farms equipped with milking robots of the studied companies. We used our own measurements, as well as data from the herd management programs of milking robots. (Results and discussion) It was determined that in the first 3 months of lactation, with free milking on milking robots, it is possible to get up to 15 percent more milk than with double milking on the Herringbone milking machine. It was found that the Lely Astronaut A4 milking robot has the highest number of milked cows - 68 heads on a one-box and 135 on a two-box, DeLaval VMS have a large tilt of the milking cups when connected to the udder nipples (45 degrees). It was shown that Lely Astronaut A4 surpasses its competitors in total milking time (6.03 minutes), consumes 36 percent less water than VMS and 35 percent less than MIone, and consumes 42 percent less electricity than VMS and 52.7 percent less than MIone. It was found that after brushing the hardened contaminated udder teat with the Astronaut A4 milking robot, bacterial contamination on the surface of the nipples averaged 470 CFU in 1 cubic centimeter, whereas after washing the teats with VMS and MIone milking robots, bacterial contamination amounted to 45.0 thousand CFU in 1 cubic centimeter. (Conclusions) It was stated that Lely Astronaut A4 milking robots surpass their competitors in many aspects, such as milking speed, udder teat cleaning quality, as well as electricity and water consumption.

Authors: KHAKIMOV A.R. ,   Federal Scientific Agroengineering Center VIM, Moscow, Russian Federation
Published: July 2024

Currently, mechanization and robotization of modern dairy farms require the development of advanced technologies for assessing the quality of manufactured products. Information on the content of milk components such as fat, protein, lactose, somatic cells, progesterone and amino acids serves as the basis for assessing the quality of milk, as well as diagnosing the nutritional balance and clinical condition of cows. (Research Purpose) The research purpose is studying the potential possibilities of upgrading a flow scatterometric device for express analysis of milk quality parameters to ensure laboratory and field tests in conditions as close as possible to production operation. (Materials and methods) The current parameters of the device are considered and the potential possibilities of modernization are analyzed. (Results and discussion) The analysis of the modernization of the flow scatterometric device for express analysis of milk quality parameters revealed 4 ways: modernization of radiation sources; modernization of radiation receivers; modernization of the measuring chamber and its flushing process; modernization of the bracket and housing. Methods of modernization are proposed in all identified areas. (Conclusions) In the course of the study, it was determined that the current device is not sufficiently adapted to the conditions of industrial operation, therefore, to adapt and improve the efficiency of its operation, proposals for modernization were formed: integration of a second radiation source in the ultraviolet range, which will allow detecting protein molecules in the flow of milk-air mixture; the use of a CCD matrix as a radiation receiver for the transition to continuous information about the light scattering indicatrix; reduction of the discharge volume for measurements at a low filling level of the milk hose; development of an additional protective casing for moisture protection and vibration resistance.

Nevado de Toluca y Nahualac, dos contextos rituales prehispánicos montañeses con patrimonio cultural subacuático en México
Authors: Hernández Bautista Iris del Rocío , Junco Sánchez Roberto
Published: July 2024

El objetivo de este artículo es presentar las particularidades de dos lugares con sitios arqueológicos montañeses de culto prehispánico con patrimonio cultural subacuático en el centro de México, los cuales han sido investigados por la Subdirección de Arqueología Subacuática del Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia. El estudio de ambos espacios ha sido abordado desde una perspectiva multidisciplinaria que busca conocer su significado ritual y simbólico dentro de la cosmovisión prehispánica mesoamericana, además de las características puntuales de sus contextos arqueológicos y los elementos culturales que los componen. El primer lugar se trata del cráter del volcán Nevado de Toluca, el cual alberga dos lagos a 4 200 ms.n.m. con evidencias rituales y ofrendas prehispánicas dedicadas al agua y a la montaña. El segundo sitio, llamado Nahualac, se ubica en el flanco oeste del volcán Iztaccíhuatl; allí hay un templo prehispánico construido dentro de un estanque artificial a 3 890 ms.n.m. En ambos lugares las evidencias indican una estrecha correspondencia simbólica con el entorno natural, por lo que su investigación requiere considerar el entorno ecológico, la cosmovisión prehispánica y el vínculo de los grupos humanos con el agua. En estos ámbitos los contextos terrestres y subacuáticos deben estudiarseen conjunto para comprender las practicas rituales ejecutadas en un complejo paisaje ritual. La investigación de este tipo de espacios requiere aplicar la arqueología subacuática como disciplina que estudia la relación humana con el agua a través de las evidencias materiales.
A Study on the Judgment Recognizing State Compensation Liability in the Humidifier Disinfectant Damage Case: Focused on the Seoul High Court Verdict Announced on February 6, 2024, Case No. 2016Na2086563
Authors: Lee Sang-Man ,   Journal of Law research
Published: July 2024

The “Humidifier Disinfectant Incident,” where numerous citizens suffered serious health damages from humidifier disinfectants sold in Korea from 1994 to 2011, can be attributed to the irresponsible actions of companies that failed to ensure product safety and the negligence of the government and related organizations in properly managing and supervising these products. Victims and their families claimed damages against manufacturers and the state, but only the manufacturers' liability for damages was primarily recognized, with state compensation liability not being acknowledged. Additionally, the court decided on the liability of manufacturers and sales companies based on whether the primary ingredient of the humidifier disinfectant was of the P series (PHMG/PGH) or C series (CMIT/MIT). Around January 2012, the Seoul Central District Court, through the 2012Gahab4515 damages case, dismissed the claims of the victims and their families on January 19, 2015, not recognizing the state's fault.
However, recently, on February 6, 2024, the Seoul High Court issued a significant ruling through case 2015Na2014486, marking the first time state compensation liability was recognized in this matter. This judgment emphasizes the responsibility of the state and relevant agencies in the safety assessment and supervision process of chemicals, reaffirming the importance of state measures to protect the health and safety of its citizens. Notably, this ruling provides critical insights on how the state should respond to ensure citizens' rights to a healthy and comfortable environment against harmful chemicals. Therefore, this study examines the significant legal grounds and principles through this landmark decision, affirming the state's legal responsibilities and duties in public health management and crisis response through chemical management, thereby contributing to reestablishing the role of the state in protecting the lives and safety of its citizens.
A study on consent search
Authors: Kim Gi Ho ,   Wonkwang University Legal Research Institute has
Published: July 2024

Searches are compulsory actions carried out on certain places, objects, or persons to discover specific objects or persons. The Constitution stipulates due process and warrant principles for searches related to compulsory dispositions. The Criminal Procedure Act also stipulates due process and warrant principles to ensure that searches are conducted in accordance with legal procedures and methods, and it also provides for exceptions to the warrant requirement.
There are no explicit provisions allowing for consent searches. However, they are commonly conducted in investigative practice because they are more procedurally simple and efficient than searches conducted with warrants. There is a risk of abuse of consent searches as a means of circumventing or avoiding the warrant principle. The question is whether consent searches are permissible in light of the due process provisions, warrant principles, and exceptions to the warrant principle in the Constitution and Criminal Procedure Act. Consent searches are considered permissible as a voluntary investigative method as long as voluntary consent is guaranteed.
Even if consent searches are generally permissible, legal requirements must be strictly established to prevent abuse. A search based on consent is lawful if a person capable of consent gives voluntary consent and the search is conducted within the scope of that consent. Whether the investigative agency must inform the person of their right to refuse consent is a matter of debate. While the notification of the right to refuse consent is not an absolute standard for determining voluntariness, it is an important factor to consider. If consent is given after being informed of the right to refuse, it is more likely to be considered voluntary.
In criminal proceedings, the issue arises of how to determine the legality of a consent search. The burden of proving the legality of a consent search lies with the prosecutor, and any disadvantage in cases where the truth is unknown must fall on the prosecutor. The legality of a consent search can be proven through free proof as a legal fact, but the degree of proof must be sufficient to exclude reasonable doubt. When the legality of a consent search is contested, the decision should be based on whether the legality has been clearly proven by objective circumstances.

Published: July 2024

O setor de serviços, no estado do Ceará, apresentou-se bastante atrelado ao desenvolvimento local da indústria, sendo considerado como um segmento “acessório” à atividade industrial, limitando sua contribuição para o desenvolvimento local. Nesse sentido, o objetivo desta pesquisa é investigar a dinâmica e evolução espacial do setor de serviços no estado do Ceará, com foco em suas sete mesorregiões, através dos dados da Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (RAIS) dos anos de 2010 e 2020. Para isso, propõe-se um conjunto de indicadores de distribuição espacial; a criação de índices de emprego; e utilização da metodologia de Análise Exploratória de Dados Espaciais (AEDE). Os resultados apontaram evidências da existência de autocorrelação espacial positiva para todos os indicadores nos dois anos analisados, indicando que municípios com alto (baixo) valor das variáveis de emprego estão próximos de municípios com a mesma característica. Portanto, de modo geral, as características próprias do setor e a dinâmica de atividades mais ou menos complexas que podem ser desenvolvidas contribuem para a sua expansão nas macrorregiões do estado.
The Prevailing Issue of Native Speakerism: A Critical Discourse Analysis of ELT Institutions’ Websites
Authors: Guo Yuxi
Published: July 2024

The English language teaching (ELT) industry has been expanding in China, and at present there are private online ELT institutions which provide English lessons which focus mainly on communication skills. The official websites of these institutions not only provide information about the programmes offered but also communicate their English language teaching pedagogical beliefs and stances. This paper aims to examine the language use in these websites and to explore how it reflects language ideologies. The websites of nine Chinese online ELT institutions were selected. Textual data were collected from the front page and subfields of these websites and were subjected to a critical discourse analysis based on Fairclough’s (1995) three-dimensional methodology. The findings suggest that there is a prevailing bias toward native-speakerism language ideology in the ELT industry. This emerged from the use of intentional vocabulary and word choice for their marketing campaigns. Repeated use of these words normalizes the authoritative image of teachers who are native English speakers. Additionally, these institutions also adopt multiple discursive strategies which intensify the stereotype of native speakerism to the public whilst seeming to discriminate against teachers who are not native speakers of English. The findings shed light on social inequity and biases in private online ELT institutions.

Published: July 2024

This study contributes to the ongoing wave of artificial intelligence integration by applying machine learning techniques to automate the assessment of strawberry quality. This research focuses on determining if the sweetness of strawberries can be predicted using a combination of physiochemical variables, their interaction parameters, and color-based features extracted from image data. This research used a 150-sample collection of strawberry images and physiochemical characteristics such as salinity, specific gravity, pH, and Brix. Normalized raw and derived feature variables and selected dataset transformations were done. We then split the dataset into mutual exclusivity training and test sets. Exponential Gaussian Process Regression (GPR) suited well due to low validation errors. This best model predicted Brix values for the remaining test samples. The Mean Absolute Percentage Error(MAPE) showed 98.783% forecast accuracy (Acc). We also examined the model's coefficient of determination (R2) values, which were 0.78 and 0.9739 for training and testing, respectively. The Mean Square Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) obtained after training were 0.32994 and 0.0453, and testing was 0.35286 and 0.0663. Using input characteristics with high Acc and low error rates, deep learning models like Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and its derivatives were constructed. Using physiochemical and visual data, machine learning and deep learning models successfully predict strawberry sweetness. This prediction accuracy shows the complex link between internal components and Brix readings, enabling high-quality strawberry production.

With these findings, committed organizations shall re-think the ways of enhancing trust and relationship-building for happy transformative servant business leaders.
Determinants influencing ecological footprints of China; An empirical evidence from factor analysis
Authors: Yaqoob Tanzeela , Bibi Rahat , Akbar Hooria
Published: July 2024

China has advanced significantly in the last decades, but ecological concerns raise questions about the nation's long-term affluence. The hunt for possible determinants in explaining the quality of the environment (ecological footprint) is still in progress. Therefore, the current study attempts to investigate the influencing factors from various explanatory variables (eco-innovation, economic complexity, renewable energy consumption, economic growth, natural resource rent, foreign direct investment, the energy intensity level of primary energy, economic development, Public-private partnerships investment in energy, electric power consumption, and population growth) through factor analysis augmented with Back Propagation Neural Network (BPNN) approach. The annual data from 1995 to 2021 for China is retrieved for empirical analysis. The data set comprises the factors classified into training, validation, and testing divisions with a ratio of 2:1:1. The outcomes revealed that extracted factors are robust in explaining China's ecological footprint variation. Outcomes of the BPNN algorithm suggest that renewable energy consumption, eco-innovation, economic complexity, natural resource rent, and electric power consumption are the most useful determinants in explaining the ecological footprints of China. The study furnishes the possible policy implications of the research.

New companies are an opportunity to develop a region, increase its employment and GDP, and push a country’s economy forward. However, only some of them survive the barriers and vicissitudes the economy throws up before them. Analysis of data on Poland allow us to assess whether the country’s economy enables newly formed companies to survive more than a year or two, or if tends to close the door on them before they can fully develop their activities. The article also shows the types of barriers that are most burdensome for newly formed companies, and what should be changed so that Polish enterprise can grow.
Talent management programmes in the retail industry designed for university graduates
Authors: Szara Aneta
Published: July 2024

The article systematises issues concerning managerial skills development programmes dedicated to university graduates. Conclusions and recommendations have been collected to define key competencies and roles of people supporting participants as well as to establish a training scheme which allows graduates to move into their first managerial position. Recommendations are based on commentary from a case study done on a trade company analysed to define a development and conditioning programme for potential future managers. An important result was that such programmes reach out to young people preparing to hold a specialist or managerial position while also helping the organisation to provide good quality staff which realises the goals of the company. In other words, the analysis shows that the interests of both sides are consistent in career development. Moreover, the training programmes make it possible to realise the goals of the organisation.
Relationship management in effective sports sponsorship
Authors: Waśkowski Zygmunt
Published: July 2024

Sponsoring on the sports market should be treated not as a promotional tool, but rather as the act of building a relationship network, which is created and developed as the partners cooperate. Such a point of view brings about new challenges connected to managing a sports organisation and requirements towards positioning sponsoring in the marketing communication strategy of the sponsor to emerge in the context of expected effectiveness of all activities. The cooperation between a sports organisation and a sponsor requires a processual approach and the implementation of rules favouring the process of building a partnership. The process of managing the relations in the relationship network should be analysed on the strategy level, and consider the business and the expectations of each partner. Because those expectations can differ, and there may be a relative lack of desire to cooperate, which is rather common on the Polish sports market, managing a relationship network is a challenge that is difficult to coordinate.

Authors: Dobrowolska Izabela
Published: July 2024

The main goal of the research was to show the European Union’s policy towards the regional development of the African continent. Recently, Africa has played a very important role on the international political arena and it has been empowered thanks to a plentiful supply of raw materials. The Communities’ help is based mainly on financial support and promotion of the Mediterranean area. Under the long-term cooperation between the two continents, many agreements, acts, and documents have been signed that would directly benefit the African states and indirectly help the entire European Union. While these documents and agreements cover a variety of matters, including environmental protection and human rights, they are diffuse and lack clear goals. The article relies on the relevant and current literature and a variety of statistics.

Authors: Treutz Ágnes
Published: July 2024

The consumer satisfaction is under perspicacious examination, where the basic models will be presented in connection with consumer satisfaction. The study will also touch on the satisfaction models in the place marketing. One important target group of the place marketing is the local residents, and it is becoming more and more important to maintain them, and gain new potential residents. In case satisfaction emerges in the residents, we can maintain them locally, creating a loyal consumer group. Reputation or having personal experiences towards local events or tuition institutions could be extremely important for potential local residents, which may further build the positive image towards the settlement. These expectations and obtained values will also be compared by the consumer, ultimately making him/her satisfied or dissatisfied. The measurement criteria of these models will be assessed, which will be used to summarize all examined models in a table accordingly.

Published: July 2024

This qualitative case study looked at the views of Generation Z people in Bangladesh who were dissatisfied with their occupations, giving insight on the challenges associated with depression. The study sought to evaluate the influence of motivation on work satisfaction features and also Gen Z’s behavior and psychological health, with a particular emphasis on two critical components of job satisfaction: financial incentives and job security. The study used a purposive maximum variation sampling strategy to pick five volunteers aged 22 to 26 years from Khulna, Dhaka, and Chittagong in Bangladesh. Several data gathering approaches were used, including observation, in-depth case studies, and document analysis. The findings highlighted the considerable relationship between two key employment incentive factors—financial rewards and job security—and Generation Z’s character development, and also their behavioral and mental well-being. The findings of this study will help researchers gain a better grasp of Generation Z’s real-life job satisfaction experiences, especially those who are studying job satisfaction and behavioral analysis in this cohort.

Perbaikan kualitas dan perbaikan proses terhadap sistem produksi secara menyeluruh harus dilakukan jika perusahaan ingin menghasilkan produk yang berkualitas baik. Suatu perusahaan dikatakan berkualitas bila perusahaan tersebut mempunyai sistem produksi yang baik dengan proses terkendali. Pengendalian kualitas perlu dilakukan di UKM Kopi Babadan II sehingga dapat bersaing dengan berbagai jenis kopi lainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melakukan pengendalian kualitas dengan metode DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) di UKM Kopi Babadan II sehingga perusahaan dapat bersaing dengan perusahaan lainnya. Berdasarkan analisa dengan DMAIC, faktor-faktor penyebab terjadinya cacat pada biji kopi adalah kuku kambing, kuku gajah dan kopi lanang/pibery. Jenis cacat yang paling tinggi adalah kuku gajah. Upaya perbaikan dibuat dengan usulan yang dapat diberikan kepada perusahaan dalam rangka menurunkan cacat pada biji kopi tersebut. Usaha pertama yang dapat dilakukan perusahaan adalah melakukan training atau diklat kepada setiap pekerja agar pekerja dapat memahami bentuk dan jenis pekerjaan yang akan dilakukan. Kedua, melakukan pengawasan berkala terhadap kinerja karyawan. Ketiga, melakukan perawatan secara berkala terhadap mesin, terutama mesin yang menghasilkan kecacatan terbanyak. Keempat, menanam kopi kualitas tinggi, dan berhati pada saat melakukan proses pengupasan juga proses lainnya supaya biji kopi tidak pecah dan cacat.
