Authors: Hartono Hermalya Putri , Rokhim Saiku , Faizah Hanik
Published: July 2024

Corn is a substitute food crop for rice, and its number continues to increase yearly. Therefore, corn has experienced an increase in productivity because many Indonesian people like corn. The supporting factor for a plant to develop well is the provision of fertilizer. The fertilizers used by Indonesian farmers are generally not environmentally friendly and damage soil nutrients, such as inorganic fertilizers or chemical fertilizers. Therefore, environmentally friendly fertilizers from living organisms are needed to increase nutrients with biological fertilizers (PGPR). The aim of this research is (1)to determine the effect of PGPR Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. from the roots of apus bamboo on the growth of corn plants, (2) knowing the comparison of variations in the concentration of PGPR Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. on corn growth. This research was carried out from January to February 2024 at the laboratory and the greenhouse of BBPPTP Surabaya. The research sample used was 21 corn plant seeds. The research variables used were plant height, root length, number of leaves, root fresh weight, leaf fresh weight, root dry weight, and leaf fresh weight. The research results were analyzed using the SPSS test (One-way ANOVA and DMRT) and presented in a table. The result showed that isolates of Bacillus sp. and Pseudomonas sp. had a natural effect on corn, while the best concentration was given at a Bacillus sp. concentration of 15% and Pseudomonas sp. 15%.
Repair of procurement damage: discussion on the basis of the supreme court’s Resolution of 25 February 2021 (III CZP 16/20)
Authors: Siwik Robert
Published: July 2024

The text discusses the judgement of Supreme Court’s resolution regarding compensation for damages resulting from violations of public procurement laws by contracting authorities. The resolution clarifies that contractors can seek damages without first obtaining rulings from appeal or complaint procedures. The absence of specific regulations in both previous and current legislation regarding compensation claims further underscores the importance of this ruling. The text examines the implications of the ruling on the public procurement system, emphasizing the need for alignment with EU directives and consideration of civil law liability for damages. Author also suggests the necessity of legislative amendments to address the legal gap and ensure effective remedies for aggrieved contractors, echoing similar practices in other European countries.

Exploratory study about apparent elastic properties of human breast
Authors: Suh Minyoung , Chen Yining , Park Jung Hyun , DenHartog Emiel
Published: July 2024

Since the behaviors of human breasts are rubberlike, current research explores elastic properties of human breasts. The elastic behavior of breasts is observed through force-displacement measurements in a laboratory setting and characterized through tensile and shear moduli considering individual breast geometries. The breast geometry was analyzed based on specific dimensions, such as cross-sectional areas and lengths in different orientations. The average tensile and shear moduli are estimated to be 5.04 and 0.96 kN/m2, respectively, while both vary from individual to individual in wide ranges. The research approach is highly exploratory and examines apparent elastic properties, but the findings make it possible to quantify elastic capability of live human breasts as a whole and compare them with other soft materials. The conclusion suggests that the shear modulus might be more appropriate to characterize the elasticity of human breasts in terms of developing sportswear.

ICC practice on conflict-related sexual violence: experience for Ukraine
Authors: Kaminska Nataliia , Shcherban Іevgenіia
Published: July 2024

The article analyzes the legal grounds and generalized practice of the ICC regarding prosecution for crimes of sexual violence related to the conflict. The generalization of the practice of the International Criminal Court regarding bringing to justice for crimes of sexual violence related to the conflict necessitates a thorough further study of both the organization and functioning of the International Criminal Court, the Prosecutor, the Chamber of Pre-Trial Proceedings, the Appeals Chamber, the peculiarities of the international legal personality of the Court, as well as the implementation of the investigation and criminal prosecution, fulfillment of requests and decisions. The horrific crimes of conflict-related sexual violence committed during the war in Ukraine must certainly be punished and the perpetrators brought to justice. And this involves understanding the conceptual foundations, legal basis, typology of this type of crime. Committing rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization and any other form of sexual violence also constituting a serious violation to the Geneva Conventions are considered both crimes against humanity and war crimes. Moreover, all victims of conflict-related sexual violence, regardless of gender, are subject to protection under the jurisdiction of the ICC.

The aspects that are important for Ukraine in the process of proving and gathering evidence of crimes of sexual violence committed by senior officials of the russian federation as crimes against humanity and war crimes are highlighted. Іt is useful for Ukraine when proving and gathering evidence of the commission of crimes of sexual violence by senior officials of the russian federation as crimes against humanity and war crimes, it is mandatory to take into account the following: 1) proving with appropriate evidence that the general purpose of the armed conflict is, among other things, the commission of crimes sexual violence; 2) this particular senior official exercised control over these crimes and did not take any measures to stop them; 3) this particular official knew about these crimes and did not take all necessary and reasonable measures within his authority to investigate and suppress them, taking into account all the circumstances of their commission.

Attention was drawn to the need to intensify cooperation between Ukraine and the International Criminal Court, to improve national material and procedural national legislation, and legal clarification activities.

Competition and Dialogue of Judicial Jurisdictions in the Light of the Rule of Law
Authors: Savchyn Mykhailo
Published: July 2024

Through the prism of the rule of law doctrine, the article analyzes the reasons for the divergent interpretation of human rights standards in a situation where national mechanisms do not comply with foreign and international practices of human rights protection. It is concluded that this causes a dialogue between judicial jurisdictions, or there is competition between judicial jurisdictions when national mechanisms for the protection of human rights are better, or the use of human rights guarantees threatens the foundations of constitutional democracy and the protection of human rights.

Judicial competition and dialogue is an element of globalization and convergence of law, where the concepts of supporters of national legal traditions and ideas of universal values are always in dispute. In terms of the rule of law, this issue rests on legal certainty, reasoning and consistency of legal positions of courts, which is a formal aspect. According to the substantive criterion, the idea of protecting human rights comes to the front. When there is a need to replenish the national treasury by ensuring effective protection of human rights and freedoms, judicial dialogue comes to the front. It accumulates the results of a comparative analysis of the existing experience of human rights protection which may be recognized by the national court as fully adequate and acceptable for the national legal system and will deepen the effectiveness and efficiency of human rights protection in Ukraine. The judicial dialogue is considered in terms of borrowing the experience of international and foreign courts which is acceptable for Ukraine, as well as legislative decision-making taking into account the jurisprudence of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine and the Supreme Court.

Key words:constitutional democracy, human rights, judicial competition, judicial dialogue, legal argumentation, legal certainty, rule of law.
The obligation to conduct and conclude negotiations aimed at nuclear disarmament as a custom in international law
Authors: Les Iryna
Published: July 2024

The article explores the international legal foundations of the obligation to conduct and conclude negotiations aimed at nuclear disarmament as a custom in international law. The purpose of the article is to analyze the international legal foundations of the obligation to conduct and conclude negotiations aimed at nuclear disarmament as a custom in international law.

Without any pretensions to exhaustiveness, the research we propose reveals in the paper a study of the main trends in international practice regarding the existence in general international law of the obligation to pursue and complete negotiations leading to nuclear disarmament in good faith, taking into account the uncertainties that characterize the establishment of international custom. On the one hand, the prohibition of nuclear weapons would constitute a negative norm non facere, on the other hand, the obligation to negotiate on nuclear weapons would constitute a positive obligation facere. In our study, we have particularly highlighted the activities of the states most concerned, i.e. those with nuclear weapons, because their position is most indicative for the purposes of establishing international custom. In addition, the establishment of international custom requires some caution, especially in light of the uncertainty regarding the relative value of each category of manifestation of international practice in the process of formation of general international law.

On July 8, 1996, the UN International Court of Justice issued an advisory opinion on whether the threat or use of nuclear weapons is compatible with international law. The World Court has established that the threat of using nuclear weapons or their use in general is contrary to international law.

In this regard, it is precisely those elements that the Marshall Islands point to in their examples that cause some surprise. Thus, the reference to the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice of the United Nations on the legality of the threat or use of nuclear weapons, where the Court itself seems to have confirmed the existence of an obligation to observe good faith and complete negotiations leading to nuclear disarmament, was interpreted as «an expression of customary international law, which exists today». However, we should not forget the fluctuation of doctrine regarding the role of international jurisprudence in the search for international custom. Similarly, the reference to the resolutions of the General Assembly and the Security Council of the United Nations Organization raises a certain number of questions, taking into account the difficulties that, more generally, concern the meaning of these acts in the development of general international law.

Key words:article VI of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, conducting and concluding negotiations, nuclear weapons, nuclear disarmament, the International Court of Justice, customary law, convention law, the UN General Assembly.
Errorful learning of trivia questions and answers: The role of study time
Authors: Butowska-Buczyńska Ewa , Hanczakowski Maciej , Zawadzka Katarzyna
Published: July 2024

Errorful learning—asking questions and forcing responding even before the correct answers are presented for study—has recently been proposed as a way of maximizing the effectiveness of study. However, much support for the superiority of errorful learning over standard learning via reading comes from studies employing pairs of words as study materials, which remain of little educational relevance. Studies using materials affording richer semantic processing, such as trivia questions and their answers, have shown benefits of errorful learning only when the errorful learning condition is granted additional time for formulating guesses. In the present study, we systematically examined the role of timing when comparing errorful learning and reading strategies applied to study of trivia questions and their answers. In Experiments 1 and 2, we obtained evidence for the superiority of errorful learning over reading when additional time was given to formulate guesses, but this superiority was abolished when the overall time to study was equated between the two learning strategies. We further examined the role of answer familiarity in Experiment 3, showing that incorrect guessing produced no benefit for learning regardless of whether the to-be-learned concepts were familiar or not. In Experiments 4 and 5, no benefits of errorful learning emerged when participants were required to guess responses to two different questions that shared a common set of possible answers. We conclude that the benefits of errorful learning for trivia questions emerge only when guessing gives more time to process target questions.
Estimating nonlinear effects of random slopes: A comparison of multilevel structural equation modeling with a two-step, a single-indicator, and a plausible values approach
Authors: Humberg Sarah , Grund Simon , Nestler Steffen
Published: July 2024

Multilevel structural equation modeling (MSEM) is a statistical framework of major relevance for research concerned with people’s intrapersonal dynamics. An application domain that is rapidly gaining relevance is the study of individual differences in the within-person association (WPA) of variables that fluctuate over time. For instance, an individual’s social reactivity – their emotional response to social situations – can be represented as the association between repeated measurements of the individual’s social interaction quantity and momentary well-being. MSEM allows researchers to investigate the associations between WPAs and person-level outcome variables (e.g., life satisfaction) by specifying the WPAs as random slopes in the structural equation on level 1 and using the latent representations of the slopes to predict outcomes on level 2. Here, we are concerned with the case in which a researcher is interested in nonlinear effects of WPAs on person-level outcomes – a U-shaped effect of a WPA, a moderation effect of two WPAs, or an effect of congruence between two WPAs – such that the corresponding MSEM includes latent interactions between random slopes. We evaluate the nonlinear MSEM approach for the three classes of nonlinear effects (U-shaped, moderation, congruence) and compare it with three simpler approaches: a simple two-step approach, a single-indicator approach, and a plausible values approach. We use a simulation study to compare the approaches on accuracy of parameter estimates and inference. We derive recommendations for practice and provide code templates and an illustrative example to help researchers implement the approaches.

Background. For screening of cognitive impairment (CI) in older and oldest-old patients, the GPCOG test seems promising.

Aim. The aim of this study was to validate the Russian version of GPCOG and to test it for significant CI screening in older and oldest-old patients.

Materials and methods. CI testing in geriatric patients involved the use of MMSE, Mini-Kog, and the Russian version of GPCOG. Validation process for the Russian version of GPCOG included testing its reliability, convergent and discriminant validity, as well as sensitivity and specificity. As part of the GPCOG testing, the results of CI screening were analyzed in various demographics, including male and female participants, individuals of varying ages, and those with different education levels. The data was analyzed using a variety of statistical techniques, including pairwise comparisons, ANOVA, correlation analyses, and ROC-analysis.

Results. The analysis was performed in a sample of 180 older and oldest-old patients and their informants. The Russian version of GPCOG demonstrated satisfactory internal consistency, with a Cronbach's alpha value of 0,785 for GPCOG-1 and 0,772 for GPCOG-2. The association between MMSE and Mini-Kog scores and the components of GPCOG varied depending on the degree of CI, providing further evidence of its validity. The sensitivity of the GPCOG-1, GPCOG-2, and GPCOG total scores were 82%, 87%, and 84%, respectively, which better than similar scores for MMSE and Mini-Kog. Comparable results were obtained when testing male and female individuals for all GPCOG components. The GPCOG testing outcomes were worse in patients of older age, as well as in patients without higher education (p < 0.05).

Conclusion. The Russian version of GPCOG has proven to be reliable, valid and informative tool and may be recommended for screening for significant CI in geriatric patients.

МОВНИЙ РОДОВІД БАРОНА КУДКУДАКА / THE LINGUISTIC GENESIS OF BARON KUDKUDAK
Authors: Duda Henryk ,   John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin
Published: July 2024

The article analyzes the origin of the nickname Kudkudak. It is carried by one of the supporting characters of Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher saga. The analysis leads to the conclusion that this onomatopeic personal name is not an individual neologism of Sapkowski. In various phonetic variants, it occurs in Borderland Polish, from where it found its way into literary texts. Its source is most likely the Ukrainian word kudkudák (кудкудак), which means the voice of a hen, is an imitation of the voice of a hen. Sapkowski's source of inspiration was either the Polish language of his family on his father's side or children's literature, most likely Jan Brzechwa's poem Kokoszkasmakoszka.

Tea tree oil solutions had a statistically non-significant differences (P >0.05) on acrylic resin hardness property and UV- absorption test (P>0.05) and statistically significant effect of acrylic properties in surface roughness (P<0.05), with significant decrease in water sorption and solubility (P<0.05), after 90 time immersions. Conclusion. Immersion of heat cured acrylic resin specimens in tea tree oil result in statistically significant increase in the surface roughness, significant decrease in water sorption and solubility after immersion, while the hardness and UV-absorption properties had not affected.

Objectives. This study was aiming to evaluate the influence of Titanium dioxide nanoparticles addition on the bonding performance of platinum primer (G611) between maxillofacial silicone and acrylic substrate. Materials and methods. 180 samples were divided on two tests (shear and peel bond strength) and they were divided into two main groups (cold cure, and 3D printed) acrylic resins. Each group was subdivided into 5 subgroups (N=9) according to the concentration of nano-filler addition (0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2%) by weight. The data obtained were evaluated by one-way ANOVA and Tukey's post hoc tests at P˂0.05. Results. Statistical analysis revealed (0.5% and 1%) concentrations had significantly the highest bond strength in both groups, whereas (2%) had the lowest bond strength in both groups. Conclusion. Reinforcement of the platinum primer G611 with Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (1%) concentration by weight resulted in a significant improvement in the bonding performance of the platinum primer G611 larger concentrations (1.5%, and 2%) resulted in declining bonding strength.

Individuals living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) face a heightened risk of developing oral diseases. As such, antiretroviral therapies are crucial for treating HIV, as they help restore immune system functionality. Oral health issues can be not only painful and bothersome but can also lead to further complications. Therefore, the aim of this research is to conduct a thorough analysis of oral health in HIV patients, providing them with vital information and timely preventive measures. The methodology employed is descriptive analysis, which involves collecting specific data to gain a deeper understanding of oral health challenges faced by HIV patients. The findings indicate that periodontitis, gingivitis, hairy leukoplakia, and candidiasis are the most common oral conditions in these patients and may serve as early indicators of HIV/AIDS infection. Moreover, the manifestation of oral diseases can vary depending on age, genetics, endemic factors, or lifestyle choices. In summary, the emergence of oral diseases in HIV patients is influenced by a myriad of internal and external factors. Further research is essential to refine treatment strategies for HIV and associated oral diseases, ultimately improving the quality of life for immunocompromised individuals.

O objetivo deste texto é contribuir para a discussão sobre a crescente adoção de novas tecnologias de comunicação e informação (TICs) nas políticas públicas. Para tanto, foram analisados os caminhos possíveis para a inserção de uma das políticas mais relevantes de combate à fome e à exclusão: o Cadastro Único para Programas Sociais. Os primeiros vinte anos de história do Cadastro Único foram marcados pela ampliação desse registro social e, por conseguinte, reconhecimento das várias dimensões da pobreza que assolam parte da população brasileira, apresentando uma história de complexificação na sua dimensão federativa e de intersetorialidade. No entanto, apesar de ser uma base informatizada, ainda não oferece possibilidade, por exemplo, de coleta de dados por meio da internet e aplicativos. O texto apresenta breve histórico e características sobre o Cadastro Único. Ao longo da análise, compara-se a solução brasileira com modelos de registro social existentes em outros países para se analisarem possibilidades e limites. Na sequência, de forma didática, subdividem-se as diferentes fases do processo de cadastramento – acesso, coleta de dados e tratamento de dados –, indicando os atuais usos das TICs em cada etapa e as possiblidades de ampliação ou adequação. Conclui-se sobre as possibilidades de avançar nessa agenda de transformação digital, considerando as teorias de mudança em políticas públicas e os mecanismos que podem contribuir para que sua adequação à era digital também resulte em melhoria do atendimento à população e em redução de vulnerabilidades sociais.

We report the discovery of a close-in (P
orb = 3.349 days) warm Neptune with clear transit timing variations (TTVs) orbiting the nearby (d = 47.3 pc) active M4 star, TOI-2015. We characterize the planet's properties using Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) photometry, precise near-infrared radial velocities (RVs) with the Habitable-zone Planet Finder Spectrograph, ground-based photometry, and high-contrast imaging. A joint photometry and RV fit yields a radius

After considering multiple likely period-ratio models, we show an outer planet candidate near a 2:1 resonance can explain the observed TTVs while offering a dynamically stable solution. However, other possible two-planet solutions—including 3:2 and 4:3 resonances—cannot be conclusively excluded without further observations. Assuming a 2:1 resonance in the joint TTV-RV modeling suggests a mass of

Position-dependent Radiation Fields near Accretion Disks

Published: July 2024

In disk-wind models for active galactic nuclei outflows, high-energy radiation poses a significant problem wherein the gas can become overionized, effectively disabling what is often inferred to be the largest force acting on the gas: the radiation force due to spectral line opacity. Calculations of this radiation force depend on the magnitude of ionizing radiation, which can strongly depend on the position above a disk where the radiation is anisotropic. As our first step to quantify the position and direction dependence of the radiation field, we assumed free streaming of photons and computed energy distributions of the mean intensity and components of flux as well as energy-integrated quantities such as mean photon energy. We find a significant dependence of radiation-field properties on position, but this dependence is not necessarily the same for different field quantities. A key example is that the mean intensity is much softer than the radial flux at many points near the disk. Because the mean intensity largely controls ionization, this softening decreases the severity of the overionization problem. The position dependence of mean intensity implies the position dependence of gas opacity, which we illustrate by computing the radiation force a fluid element feels in an accelerating wind. We find that in a vertical accelerating flow, the force due to radiation is not parallel to the radiation flux. This misalignment is due to the force’s geometric weighting by both the velocity field’s directionality and the position dependence of the mean intensity.
