THE HARM CAUSED BY ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE: ASPECTS OF RESPONSIBILITY AND LEGAL PERSONALITY
Authors: Gayvoronskaya Yana , Galchun Ekaterina
Published: December 2021

A rule of law is effective when it adequately reflects objective needs and corresponds to the laws of the development of public relations. However, information technologies are developing faster than the corresponding legislative regulation. Programs equipped with artificial intelligence, once considered science fiction, are being increasingly used in various spheres of life every day. Advanced technologies are designed to significantly facilitate the life of a modern person, allowing him to transfer monotonous and technical tasks to units, i.e. carriers of artificial intelligence. However, the use of AI systems does not always turn out to be absolutely positive and safe – sometimes in practice, due to various factors, damage to property, health and even human life is caused during the operation of the unit. In this regard, legitimate questions arise about legal liability for such consequences, about the suitability of existing legislation to regulate such relations and about the need to improve and specialize legal regulation for new torts. This work is also aimed at participating in this discussion. For the purposes of the article, all negative manifestations of AI are reduced to three situations: causing harm due to flaws in the program or its incorrect operation; using technology by a person to commit an offense; causing harm by an artificial intelligence unit independently and on its own initiative. The paper examines all these cases, offers options for their legal resolution, critically evaluates existing approaches, projects and special legal acts already adopted. The conclusion is made that there is no need for a radical reform of the legal system for artificial intelligence, the theory of its legal personality is denied, it is argued that a person is responsible for all its mistakes – the manufacturer, user, owner, etc. In general, the strategy of the domestic legislator on the development of artificial intelligence is supported, but it is proposed to pay more attention to other ways to improve the security of AI systems (user liability insurance, unified accounting of units, etc.), rather than sanctions against them as "electronic persons".

Authors: Gayvoronskaya Yana
Published: December 2021

The paper researches the dangers of the digital transformation of the society in various spheres of social life. The authors defined several groups of the digitalization threats, including economic, political, military and legal ones. The coronavirus 2020 pandemic forced many activities to withdraw to the virtual environment, thus exposing the real level of the digital environment in the Russian Federation. Many problems connected with providing the interaction of the digital trends with the practical activity and regulation in various spheres of the social life became obvious. The complex system threats of the digital transformation of the society together with the faults of “the digital transformation (perestroika)” in the Russian reality makes us speak about the fragility of the digital world being constructed. Digitalization, like Icarus wings, is able to raise the human civilization incredibly high but also lead to failure, causing misbalance and destruction of the established social institutions and values.

This research examines the role Financial Management Agency, Revenue in Increasing Non-Metal Mineral and Rock Tax Revenue, it is known that in 2016-2020 there was a significant decrease in the realization of tax revenues (in 2016 the realization was Rp. 1.887.075.092,- until 2020 the realization only reached  Rp. 305.450.406,-). This decrease was due to a change in the collection system used in collecting taxes on non-metallic minerals and rocks in 2016-2020 from an official assessment system to a self assessment system. The theory used to analyze the problem is the implementation theory according to Edwards III with four main indicators including communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The research method use a gualitative approach. Date collection techniques through observation, interviews and documentation. The results showed that tax revenues for non-metallic minerals and rocks continued to decline in Bener Meriah Regency from 2016-2020, using the self assessment system as a system for collecting taxes on non-metallic minerals and rocks that were still not effectively implemented. What steps are taken to increase tax revenues for non-metallic minerals and rocks in Bener Meriah Regency are due to the lack of socialization of the regulations that have been set and coordination of information delivery among tiered officials. Resources that are lacking in carrying out supervision in the form of tax collectors for non-metallic minerals and rocks.Weak disposition with lack of seriousness in tax collection management.

Penelitian ini mengkaji tentang implementasi undang-undang nomor 5 tahun 2014 tentang aparatur sipil negara dan mengkhususkan penelitian pada netralitas ASN dalam pemilihan kepala daerah di Kabupaten Bener Meriah pada tahun 2017. Tujuan Penelitian adalah untuk menganalisis penyebab yang menjadikan ASN tidak netral dan tindak lanjut punishment yang dilakukan oleh BKPP kepada ASN yang melakukan pelanggaran netralitas. Perspektif teoritik yang digunakan adalah teori implementasi kebijakan publik, netralitas birokrasi dan pilkada. Metode Penelitian yang digunakan adalah metode penelitian kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pada tahun 2017 dilakukan pemilihan kepala daerah di Kabupaten Bener Meriah, dan ditemukan 21 orang ASN meklakukan pelanggaran netralitas. Penyebab yang menyebabkan ASN melakukan pelanggaran netralitas dalam penelitian ini dianalisis menggunakan indikator implementasi menurut Van Horn dan Van Meter diketahui komunikasi dilakukan dengan memberikan sosialisasi penjabaran mengenai aturan-aturan netralitas ASN pada ranah politik, serta sanksi-sanksi yang akan diberikan jika para ASN melanggarnya. Indikator sumber daya tidak ditemukan kesesuaian dengan permasalahan penelitian. Watak para pelaksana kebijakan diketahui masih belum memiliki komtimen yang kuat dalam menjalankan amanah UU ASN karena dalam memberikan sanksi kepada 21 orang ASN yang melanggar netralitas hanya sekedar memberikan teguran lisan saja, SOP sampai saat ini hanya masih Undang-Undang Nomor 5 Tahun 2014 tentang Aparatur Sipil Negara dan Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 53 Tahun 2010 tentang Disiplin Pegawai Negeri Sipil. Fragmentasi sebagai pelaksana adalahBKPP, Kesbangpol dan Panwaslih.Lingkungan ekonomi, sosial dan politik memberi pengaruh paling signifikan dalam permasalahan netralitas ASN karena faktor hubungan primordial dan faktor mengejar jabatan di pemerintahan. Tindakan punishment kepada para ASN hanya diberikan melalui teguran lisan dan masuk dalam kategori ringan, sementara pelanggaran yang dilakukan oleh ASN masuk dalam kategori sedang hingga berat.

Aim: To assess the effects of semi-refined carrageenan (E407a) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and LPS-mediated cell membrane alterations in leukocytes. Methods: Blood samples collected from 8 intact rats were incubated with E407a (10 mg/ml), E407a (50 mg/ml), LPS (1 µg/ml), E407a (10 mg/ml) + LPS (1 µg/ml), E407a (50 mg/ml) + LPS (1 µg/ml) and without those compounds (controls) for 2 h in RPMI 1640 medium enriched with 5% fetal bovine serum. ROS generation in PBMCs obtained from the incubated samples was estimated by flow cytometry using 2',7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (H2DCFDA) staining. The impact of E407a, LPS and their mixture on leukocyte cell membranes was evaluated spectrofluorimetrically using the fluorescent probe 2-(2¢-hydroxy-phenyl)-5-phenyl-1,3-oxazole. Results: Expectedly, incubation with LPS induced ROS generation in PBMCs and decreased the lipid order of cell membranes in leukocytes. E407a alone was found to alter neither ROS production in PBMCs, nor membrane lipid order in leukocytes. Semi-refined carrageenan partially reduced LPS-mediated ROS overproduction in PBMCs and cell membrane alterations in leukocytes. Conclusion: E407a attenuates LPS-induced alterations of redox homeostasis in rat PBMCs and LPS-mediated modifications of cell membrane lipid order in leukocytes.

Throughout the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC), establishment the software through various phases. System design is one of the most crucial aspects of the SDLC. The Data Flow Diagram (DFD) is a model to build the system. The purpose of the research was to make it easier for people to comprehend the diagram by carefully preparing DFD, then it created software according to the DFD design. Storytelling is the method employed, and it pertains to qualitative ways for creating language patterns. As a design reference, it needs to make the DFD pattern subsequently. The research mimics two scenarios to reflect previous research on the same principle. According to the findings of this study, there are two significant disparities. The first scenario concerns system user activity, whereas the second concerns software performance. Therefore, it corresponds to the core notion of input-process-output; narrative scenario 1 is more consistent and easier to design in the processed results created from sentence patterns to DFD patterns. Scenario 2, on the other hand, connects many process symbols to processes, complicating the DFD design. Finally, scenario 2 is beneficial for requirement's elicitation, whereas scenario 1 applies to business procedures.

Internet of things (IoT) requires an internet network for data communication between machines. Wifi is not always available outdoors and requires more portable data communication. This study aims to design a prototype Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) based on nRF24L01 and solar-powered SIM800l for outdoor IoT implementation. The study used a total of five IoT devices with four nodes with nRF24L01 and one node with nRF24L01 and SIM800l. Each device uses an Arduino nano, TP4056, 6WP solar panel, and a 900mAh 18650 battery. The evaluation of the system includes a comparative QoS analysis, namely packet delivery ratio (PDR), throughput, and delay in star and bus topology through data collection of observation methods by sensors. The evaluation results show that for unidirectional data communication the star topology has better results with PDR 99,099%, throughput 99.393%, and delay 0.0095s. While the bus topology produces a slight difference in PDR 98.766%, throughput 98.461%, and delay 0.017s. Evaluation of energy availability shows that during the day with an average voltage of 3.703v and at night 2.976v, there is no significant difference. During the day it produces 99.301% PDR, 99.653% throughput, and 0.001s delay, while at night it produces 94.221% PDR, 99.881% throughput, and 0.027s delay.

Authors: Lawal IA , Osinupebi OA , Adeosun OV
Published: December 2021

Background: The presence of Candida species in the urine is termed candiduria, and it is a common form of urinary tract infection (UTI). Many other species of Candida organism apart from Candida albicans are known with increasing the occurrence of resistance to available antifungal agents.

Objectives: To determine the prevalence and sensitivity pattern of Candida isolates obtained from urine samples of diagnosed urinary tract infections.

Methods: Midstream urine of patients attending the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja Lagos, were collected and inoculated on Sabouraud Dextrose Agar (SDA). Microbiological processing was done with Gram reaction, germ tube test, CHROME agar TM and sugar fermentation test using API 32C system. Antifungal susceptibility tests were done using the agar disc diffusion method.

Results: Candida species were obtained from 36 (12.9%) of 280 patients with UTI. Candida albicans (CA) had the highest frequency (12; 33.3%) compared to 24 (66.7%) for Non-albicans Candida (NAC). The speciation of Candida using Chrome Agar showed some misidentification from the API32C identification, but there was a significant correlation between API32C and Chrome Agar methods (r = 0. 9793). Half of the C. albicans species were sensitive to fluconazole while C. hellenica was only sensitive to Nystatin. The C. parapsilopsis had the highest susceptibility pattern, with 86% and 71% for fluconazole and ketoconazole, respectively. Generally, ketoconazole had the highest effectiveness on Candida species.

Conclusion: This study demonstrated the role of Candida species in UTIs and their high susceptibility to ketoconazole.

Conclusion: The secondary school teachers in Ibadan Metropolis had poor knowledge of heart diseases and demonstrated poor attitude and unsatisfactory at-risk behaviour about the diseases.
Comparative analysis of dynamic pricing schemes in distributed energy management of residential users in smart grid
Authors: GABA Monika , CHANANA Saurabh
Published: December 2021

Increasing power demand, greenhouse gas emissions, and the old infrastructure are serious concerns in the existing power system. With the advent of the smart grid, demand response (DR) has emerged as an effective approach to handle these issues. The selection of an appropriate DR program is vital to acquire the maximum benefits for the utility and the consumers. In this context, a distributed energy management scheme for residential consumers is presented and analyzed to observe the impact of different pricing schemes. The three dynamic pricing schemes considered in this work are based on linear function, the logarithmic function, and the penalty-based linear function of aggregated load. A non-cooperative game is used to formulate the energy management problem of the consumers. The Nash equilibrium of the game is obtained using the proximal decomposition algorithm. The results are obtained for different cases based on the presence of a storage device, a dispatchable generation unit, and two different modes of operation of an electric vehicle. The best pricing scheme is chosen based on the minimum cost, the peak-to-average ratio of the system load profile, and consumer comfort.
Smoking as an environmental hazard to the periodontal and peri-implant tissues: A brief review
Authors: Avigdor Klinger
Published: December 2021

While dental plaque is considered the etiological factor for the development of periodontal and peri-implant diseases, many studies from recent years point to smoking as the most significant environmental factor contributing to disease severity. This effect is evident at the epidemiological level as well as on our understanding of the biological mechanisms involved. The present review presents abundant scientific evidence showing that smoking negatively affects the local blood supply, interferes with the reaction of the immune system to bacterial insult, is toxic to gingival and periodontal ligament cells, impedes the response of the periodontal attachment apparatus to treatment, and is linked to dental implant failure. Over the past 30 years, more than 200 million people have died as a result of smoking tobacco use. There are more than 1 billion current smokers worldwide and these numbers are likely to increase over the coming years. And yet, the effect of smoking on periodontal and peri-implant health has been a controversial issue. It was argued, that it is difficult to prove such an effect due to poor adherence of smokers to oral hygiene, which creates a confounding factor inseparable from the effect of the smoking itself. Unfortunately, even some of the more recent publications cast doubt as for the importance of smoking cessation on peri-implant health, as a prerequisite for a successful treatment. The aim of the present review was to question the validity of these reports by presenting multiple evidence to support the quiet widely accepted common knowledge that is the numerous hazards to the oral biology which are the result of a heavy and prolonged smoking habit.

Authors: Gülbün Asuman Yüksel  , Gizem Gürsoy
Published: December 2021

Background: People with normal functionality have normal cognitive changes associated with the ageing process while many people age without cognitive decline. The most exact effects of age are cognitive impairments in learning, memory, and problem solving. These age-related effects slightly increase or do not change for many years, and do not affect the daily life activities of the person. Methods: To investigate age-related cognitive effects, detailed cognitive evaluations were compared with 20 years intervals in 7 (seven) elderly individuals at Haydarpaşa Numune Training and Research Hospital in 2019. These individuals are continuing daily life activities and sociocultural relations independently. Mini-mental state examination, verbal memory processes test and visual memory test-Wechsler memory scale for memory processes, digit span test for attention function, verbal fluency, similarities, stroop, and trail-making test for the evaluation of frontal lobe functions, Benton’s line direction determination test for the visuospatial organization have been applied to individuals. Results: In comparison with the cognitive test results applied twenty years ago; immediate memory impairment is evident, abstraction and attention function are relatively less affected. The tests showing the frontal lobe function, the verbal fluency which also reflects the vocabulary information is less affected, while the cognitive impairment is more in consecutive-complex processes. Conclusion: Cognitive functions based on attention, vocabulary and knowledge are substantially preserved with mild improvement in normal ageing. The most important improvement is on executive functions due to the decrease in motor and cognitive processing speed in cases where complex information needs to be processed.

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the effect of the Kinesio taping method on the balance ability and gait ability of hemiplegic stroke patients by applying it to the lower extremities of the ankle on the affected side, addressing instability and asymmetry by improving the stability of the muscles and ankle joint. Methods: This study confirmed the general characteristics of hemiplegic patients diagnosed with stroke. Kinesio taping was applied to the lower extremities of 15 subjects in the experimental group, and they performed mat and treadmill exercises. In addition, basic mat and treadmill exercises were performed by the 15 subjects in the control group. The exercise regimens were performed 18 times: three times a week for six weeks. Results: In the paired-sample T-test used for within-group comparison of BBS, TUG and stance time on nonparetic side value, there was a significant difference between pre- and post-test for experimental group. However, in the control group, there was a statistically significant difference only in TUG. In the inter-group comparison, the experimental group showed a statistically significant improvement in BBS, TUG and stance time on nonparetic side value compared to the control group. Conclusion: The experiment’s results demonstrate that the application of Kinesio taping-combined exercise provides stability of the muscles and ankle joints of the lower extremities during walking by improving balance ability, and improves overall gait stability by increasing the stance phase time of the affected side in hemiplegic stroke patients.

Almost everything has changed fundamentally with the coronavirus (COVID-19) epidemic. The pandemic has adversely affected the retail industry and the global economy. After detecting COVID-19, customers’ shopping preferences have moved to popular platforms like online shopping websites. Meanwhile, due to inadequate distribution structures and decentralized supply chain networks of businesses, customers have experienced many failures in service encounters. This study employed a document review method to analyse customer complaints covering common logistic service failures in the food sector during the three months (March, April and May 2020) intermittent curfew period. In addition, using content analysis, “şikayetvar.com” complaints were classified according to the service quality gap model. Since disruptions in the food industry are critical with their stimulating effects on supply chains, this industry has been analysed in detail. In terms of practical contribution, the study introduces an insight to enhance the customer service capabilities of private shopping sites. Furthermore, the theoretical background of the study reveals the service quality dimensions prioritized by customers in the pandemic environment and their critical role in service quality gaps.

The study aimed to understand factors influencing customers' online shopping intentions. This study used the technology acceptance model (TAM) and extended it, including social value and perceived enjoyment, to measure customers' intentions in the online shopping context. Three hundred one validated data was collected using personal interviews and the online survey approach through convenience sampling technique from 20 to 60 years old. Subsequently, data were analyzed through PLS-SEM. The measurement model was first examined to determine whether the constructs predict online shopping intentions. After validating the measurement model, the subsequent structural model was analyzed using Smart PLS 3.3.3. The study results revealed that perceived usefulness, attitude, social value, and perceived enjoyment are significant positive predictors of online shopping intentions. However, perceived ease of use insignificantly impacted online shopping intentions. Moreover, this study results showed that perceived enjoyment partially mediates the relationship between perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, social value, and online shopping intentions. In contrast, the influence of attitude on intentions is insignificantly mediated by perceived enjoyment. This study will provide online e-retailers with insights into how practitioners can influence customers to shop online. Customer behaviour is the result of customers' intentions, built through perceived usefulness, ease of use, attitude, social value, and enjoyment.
