Authors: Zheng Xinjie , Lin Yuhao , Cheng Xin , Ahn Young-joo , Chi Xiaoting
Published: February 2025

Tourists’ pro-environmental behavior (TPEB) is crucial in promoting the sustainable development of tourism worldwide. It has received increased attention from scholars in different fields of tourism, but relevant research on the normative activation and formation process of TPEB in geotourism is lacking. Given the complexity of behavioral causes and norm activation, this study is grounded in multiple theories, including the norm activation model (NAM), behavioral reasoning theory (BRT), and complexity theory, to illustrate the formation process of TPEB in geotourism. The Zhangye National Geopark, which is located in Gansu Province, China, was chosen as the research case for this study. In total, 502 valid survey responses were utilized for data analysis using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). The PLS-SEM results showed that tourist intention for pro-environmental behaviors is linearly affected by moral norms, attitude, social norms, and perceived behavioral control, which are the key components in the NAM and BRT. The fsQCA results identified six causal recipes components that influence the formation of intention for pro-environmental behaviors, confirming the causal complexity principle of complexity theory. Among these, environmental awareness, anticipated emotion of pride, moral norms, attitude, and social norms are considered core variables. These research findings provide significant management guidance and strategies for the environmental protection of geoparks and the sustainable development of geotourism.

Authors: Wang Xuan , Wang Wen , Wang Chengxin , Jiao Xumin , Teng Chao
Published: February 2025

Urban–rural integration (URI) is important for achieving rural revitalization and sustainable development. Currently, there is a lack of research on URI in prefecture-level cities in the Yellow River Basin Urban Agglomerations (YRBUAs), and the spatial relationship between URI and economic development is not clear. This paper evaluates the URI index of the YRBUA from 2010 to 2022, and applies research methods such as an exploratory data analysis, spatial variation function, coupling coordination degree, and gray correlation analysis to explore the spatial relationship between URI and economic development. The study found the following: (1) The integration level is highest in the Shandong Peninsula Urban Agglomeration and lowest in the Ningxia Along the Yellow River Urban Agglomeration. The rank structure of the URI index within the city cluster is dominated by a single core. (2) The URI index roughly shows the spatial distribution characteristics of high in the east and low in the west. (3) The level of URI and economic development are spatially positively correlated. The high-value agglomeration areas of both are mainly distributed in Shandong Peninsula. (4) The high-value areas of coupling coordination and gray correlation degree are distributed in Shandong Peninsula Urban Agglomeration.

Recently, several researchers have estimated the Maclaurin coefficients, namely q2 and q3, and the Fekete–Szegö functional problem of functions belonging to some special subfamilies of analytic functions related to certain polynomials, such as Lucas polynomials, Legendrae polynomials, Chebyshev polynomials, and others. This study obtains the bounds of coefficients q2 and q3, and the Fekete–Szegö functional problem for functions belonging to the comprehensive subfamilies T(ζ,ϵ,δ) and J(φ,δ) of analytic functions in a symmetric domain U, using the imaginary error function subordinate to Euler polynomials. After specializing the parameters used in our main results, a number of new special cases are also obtained.
Multi-Objective Remanufacturing Processing Scheme Design and Optimization Considering Carbon Emissions

Published: February 2025

In the face of escalating environmental degradation and dwindling resources, the imperatives of prioritizing environmental protection, and conserving resources have come sharply into focus. Therefore, remanufacturing processing, as the core of remanufacturing, becomes a key step in solving the above problems. However, with the increasing number of failing products and the advent of Industry 5.0, there is a heightened request for remanufacturing in the context of environmental protection. In response to these shortcomings, this study introduces a novel remanufacturing process planning model to address these gaps. Firstly, the failure characteristics of the used parts are extracted by the fault tree method, and the failure characteristics matrix is established by the numerical coding method. This matrix includes both symmetry and asymmetry, thereby reflecting each attribute of each failure feature, and the remanufacturing process is expeditiously generated. Secondly, a multi-objective optimization model is devised, encompassing the factors of time, cost, energy consumption, and carbon emission. This model integrates considerations of failure patterns inherent in used parts and components, alongside the energy consumption and carbon emissions entailed in the remanufacturing process. To address this complex optimization model, an improved teaching–learning-based optimization (TLBO) algorithm is introduced. This algorithm amalgamates Pareto and elite retention strategies, complemented by local search techniques, bolstering its efficacy in addressing the complexities of the proposed model. Finally, the validity of the model is demonstrated by means of a single worm gear. The proposed algorithm is compared with NSGA-III, MPSO, and MOGWO to demonstrate the superiority of the algorithm in solving the proposed model.

Published: February 2025

With the development of aerospace technology, the variety and complexity of spacecraft components have increased. Traditional manual and machine learning-based detection methods struggle to accurately and quickly identify these parts. Deep learning-based object detection networks require significant computational resources and high hardware requirements. This study introduces Ghost SCYLLA Intersection over Union You Only Look Once (GS-YOLO), an improved image recognition model derived from YOLOv5s, which integrates the global attention mechanism (GAM) with the Ghost module. The lightweight Ghost module substitutes the original convolutional layers, producing half of the features via convolution and the other half by symmetric linear operations. This minimizes the computing burden and model parameters by effectively acquiring superfluous feature layers. A more lightweight SimSPPF structure is created to supplant the old spatial pyramid pooling—fast (SPPF), enhancing the network speed. The GAM is included in the bottleneck architecture, improving feature extraction via channel–space interaction. The experimental results on the custom-made precision component dataset show that GS-YOLO achieves an accuracy of 96.5% with a model size of 10.8 MB. Compared to YOLOv5s, GS-YOLO improves accuracy by 1%, reduces parameters by 23%, and decreases computational requirements by 40.6%. Despite the model’s light weight, its detection accuracy has been improved.

Published: February 2025

Kaon condensation in hyperon-mixed matter [(Y+K) phase], which may be realized in neutron stars, is discussed on the basis of chiral symmetry. With the use of the effective chiral Lagrangian for kaon–baryon and kaon–kaon interactions; coupled with the relativistic mean field theory and universal three-baryon repulsive interaction, we clarify the effects of the s-wave kaon–baryon scalar interaction simulated by the kaon–baryon sigma terms and vector interaction (Tomozawa–Weinberg term) on kaon properties in hyperon-mixed matter, the onset density of kaon condensation, and the equation of state with the (Y+K) phase. In particular, the quark condensates in the (Y+K) phase are obtained, and their relevance to chiral symmetry restoration is discussed.
Research on the Incentive Mechanism of Environmental Responsibility of Polluting Enterprises Considering Fairness Preference
Authors: Ji Gedi , Wang Qisheng , Chang Qing
Published: February 2025

More and more attention has been paid to the environmental problems brought about by the development of the global economy. Based on the principal–agent theory, this paper constructs an incentive model for the government and polluting enterprises and explores the incentive problem of the government and polluting enterprises in undertaking environmental responsibility. At present, the research on the incentive of polluting enterprises focuses on the hypothesis of ‘rational man’, and less on the fairness preference of polluting enterprises. However, in other research fields, it has been proved that fairness preference has a great influence on the incentive mechanism. Fairness preference is introduced into the incentive model, and the incentive effect of polluting enterprises before and after considering fairness preference is compared and analyzed. This study found that the reward and punishment mechanism considering fairness preference can increase the behavior of polluting enterprises to assume environmental responsibility and limit the behavior of not assuming environmental responsibility. The stronger the fairness preference of polluting enterprises, the stronger the role of incentive mechanism; after considering the fairness preference, the government’s subsidies and penalties for polluting enterprises will increase with the increase in the fairness preference of polluting enterprises, and the expected benefits of polluting enterprises and the government will also increase; under the same incentive mechanism, the income of polluting enterprises with strong fairness preference is higher, but the government’s income is lower. Adopting the same incentive mechanism for different polluting enterprises will cause the loss of social benefits. After considering the fairness preference, the incentive strategy set up to a certain extent promotes the polluting enterprises to assume environmental responsibility and realize the coordinated development of the economy and the environment. Therefore, the government should set reasonable subsidy and punishment policies according to the fairness preference of polluting enterprises to encourage enterprises to fulfill their environmental responsibilities, improve environmental quality and reduce pollution.

Published: February 2025

The 20th CPC Central Committee stressed that the key to high-quality economic development is to cultivate new quality productive forces, and AI plays a key role in cultivating new quality productive forces. This paper takes A-share listed enterprises in China from 2013 to 2022 as a sample, constructs comprehensive level indicators of AI from the strategic side, application side, and innovation side of enterprises’ AI, and empirically examines the impact, mechanism, and spatial spillover effect of AI development on enterprises’ new quality productive forces from the perspective of digital intelligence empowerment and the spatial perspective. The results of this study show that AI can significantly promote the development of new productivity, and the development of AI within enterprises can promote the improvement of new productivity levels of neighboring enterprises or regions. At the same time, the role of AI in promoting the development of new quality productive forces is more obvious when the enterprise is a private enterprise, the managers have a digital background, and the enterprise is located in an industry with fierce market competition or a strategic industry. The purpose of this paper is to reveal the mechanism and spatial spillover effect of AI in promoting the new quality productive forces of enterprises and to provide a new theoretical basis and research perspective for enterprises to cultivate new quality productive forces.
New Perspectives on the Impact of Iron Chelation Therapy on the Gut Microbiome in Thalassemia Patients
Authors: Deumić Sara , Crnčević Neira , Hukić Mirsada , Dizdar Muamer , Avdić Monia
Published: February 2025

Thalassemia, a genetic condition characterized by defective hemoglobin synthesis, is often managed with transfusion therapy, which can lead to iron overload—a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality due to organ damage and pathogenic infections. Iron chelation therapy, the cornerstone of managing iron toxicity, may inadvertently influence the gut microbiome, a critical modulator of immunity and metabolism. This review provides new insights into the interplay between iron chelation therapy and gut microbiome dynamics in thalassemia patients. It synthesizes findings on how chelators such as deferoxamine, deferasirox, and deferiprone influence microbial composition, iron availability, and systemic inflammation. Emerging evidence highlights alterations in gut microbial diversity, with reduced beneficial taxa and increased pathogenic populations, driven by changes in luminal iron levels. This imbalance contributes to immune dysregulation, systemic inflammation, and susceptibility to infections. The review advocates for tailored treatment strategies that integrate microbiome-targeted interventions alongside traditional chelation therapy to improve patient outcomes. By combining genetic profiling, dietary adjustments, and microbiome modulation, this approach offers a promising avenue for personalized medicine in thalassemia care.

Published: February 2025

The research contributes to developing and implementing four tourist hubs in Salamanca, León, and Zamora (Spain) territories and the District of Guarda (Portugal). These hubs will act as innovation pivots promoting innovative, sustainable, and inclusive rural tourism and creating specific territorial ecosystems in each region. The main objective is to boost new economic activities and generate employment, especially for priority groups, through smart specialisation and strengthening local economies. The research also focuses on strengthening tourism value chains, making them more competitive and resilient, emphasising accessibility and inclusion. Within a focus group methodology, a SOAR analysis was undertaken. Three stakeholder groups from Portugal and Spain participated in this study: consumers, distributors/marketing professionals (tour operators, tourist offices), and producers (hotels, restaurants, and museums). They participated in collaborative activities within the SOAR framework to understand the needs of tourists, especially those with reduced mobility, and to identify barriers and opportunities for innovation in the sector. The results offer a framework for tourism providers to develop Accessible and Inclusive Rural Tourism Ecosystems by enhancing understanding and improving accessibility for groups with specific needs. It outlines actionable methods for creating inclusive tourism hubs as “innovation pivots,” establishing performance metrics, and fostering stakeholder collaboration to guide evidence-based policies.
Acute Toxicity, Neurotoxic, Immunotoxic, and Behavioral Effects of Deltamethrin and Sulfamethoxazole in Adult Zebrafish: Insights into Chemical Interactions and Environmental Implications
Authors: Liu Yueyue , Liu Fengyu , Wang Chen
Published: February 2025

The increasing presence of antimicrobial agents and pesticides in aquatic environments raises concerns about their potential impacts on non-target organisms. Among these chemicals, deltamethrin (DM), a widely used pesticide, and sulfamethoxazole (SMX), an antimicrobial commonly detected in water bodies, pose significant ecological risks. This study investigates the acute toxicity, neurotoxic effects, oxidative stress responses, immune-related gene expression, and feeding behavior of adult zebrafish exposed to DM and SMX. The 96 h LC50 for DM was 4.84 µg/L, indicating significant acute toxicity, while the LC50 for the DM + SMX mixture was 11.32 µg/L, suggesting that SMX may mitigate the toxicity of DM. Neurotransmitter alterations, including reduced levels of γ-aminobutyric acid (γ-GABA), serotonin (5-HT), and acetylcholinesterase (AChE), were observed, with the combination of DM and SMX showing partial restoration of AChE activity. Oxidative stress markers revealed significant changes in antioxidant enzyme activities, with DM exposure increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activities, while decreasing catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities. Immune-related gene expression demonstrated suppressed IgM, IgD, and IgZ levels, along with altered inflammatory responses, with both DM and DM + SMX exposure inducing pro-inflammatory cytokines. Finally, feeding behavior was significantly impaired in the DM group at the 3 min mark, while the DM + SMX group showed partial mitigation of this effect. These findings highlight the neurotoxic, immunotoxic, and behavioral effects of DM and SMX, and underscore the potential for chemical interactions to modulate toxicity in aquatic organisms.
Cadmium-Induced Kidney Apoptosis Based on the IRE1α-XBP1 Signaling Pathway and the Protective Effect of Quercetin
Authors: Wang Liuxin , Cao Weiwei , Wu Ting
Published: February 2025

Cadmium (Cd) is an important environmental pollutant that can enter the body and inflict kidney damage. Quercetin (Que) is a natural flavonoid compound that can alleviate kidney damage in Cd-treated rats, but the specific mechanism is unclear. Herein, 24 male Sprague–Dawley rats were divided into four groups, namely the control, Cd, Cd + Que, and Que groups. Four weeks later, the rats were anesthetized with ether and were euthanized; then, their blood was collected and their kidneys were removed. Renal function markers were measured. Kidney tissue structure was observed by HE staining, cell apoptosis was detected by the TUNEL method, and mRNA and protein expression levels in the IRE1α-XBP1 apoptosis signaling pathway were analyzed by RT-PCR and Western blotting. Results showed that the Cd treatment group exhibited decreased renal dysfunction and pathologic injury. Cd-induced tissue damage and cell apoptosis and significantly increased the mRNA and protein expression levels (p < 0.01) related to the IRE1α-XBP1 signaling pathway. Compared with the Cd group, the Cd + Que group exhibited increased renal dysfunction. Conversely, kidney tissue damage and renal cell apoptosis decreased, and the mRNA and protein expression levels of IRE1α and XBP1 significantly decreased (p < 0.01). Cd treatment inflicted renal damage. Therefore, Que can restore the kidney tissue damage and alleviate the cell apoptosis caused by Cd through the inhibition of the IRE1α-XBP1 signaling pathway.

Published: February 2025

Invasive meningococcal disease (IMD) is a global health threat with an unpredictable epidemiology that varies regionally and over time. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Invasive Respiratory Infection Surveillance Consortium reported widespread reductions in bacterial diseases transmitted via the respiratory route, including IMD, that were associated with the stringency of COVID-19 measures implemented in each country. Here, we report the epidemiology of IMD from the United States, England, France, Australia, and Chile during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a consistent trend in which IMD incidence declined throughout 2020 and into 2021 but began to increase in 2021 (England and Chile) or 2022 (United States, France, and Australia). Case numbers of IMD in France and the United States surpassed pre-pandemic levels by December 2022 and 2023, respectively, whereas in other countries examined, overall cases in 2021/2022 or 2023 approached but did not exceed pre-pandemic levels. Except for the United States, meningococcal serogroup B was the prominent serogroup of post-pandemic re-emergence, although substantial increases in serogroup Y and W disease in France in 2022 and serogroup W disease in Chile in 2023 were also observed. In the United States, where meningococcal vaccination coverage did not decline during the pandemic, the rebound in cases was predominantly due to serogroups C, Y, and nongroupable serogroups. The data indicate that surveillance of IMD cases, associated serogroups, and vaccination uptake is essential for monitoring the effectiveness of disease prevention strategies and guiding future public health policy.

Published: February 2025

The liver, as the largest metabolic and detoxification organ in mammals, metabolizes approximately 80–90% of drugs. However, drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is common and driven by factors such as individual variability, differences in liver metabolism, and improper drug use. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), with their self-renewal and multipotent differentiation capabilities, offer therapeutic potential, but face challenges such as limited proliferation and increased apoptosis during in vitro expansion. Although MSCs exhibit low immunogenicity, they are often cleared by the host immune system, which limits their survival and engraftment. Glutathione peroxidase 3 (GPX3) is a key antioxidant enzyme that reduces reactive oxygen species (ROS), protecting cells from oxidative damage. CD47, also known as integrin-associated protein (IAP), helps cells evade immune clearance by binding to signal regulatory protein alpha (SIRPα) on the immune cells. Here, we used an acetaminophen (APAP)-induced DILI mouse model to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of intravenously infused MSCs overexpressing GPX3 and CD47. Compared to unmodified MSCs, modified MSCs showed improved survival, reduced liver inflammation, and alleviated oxidative damage, offering enhanced protection against APAP-induced DILI.

Published: February 2025

This study aimed to determine the impact of supplementations of copper, vitamins A and D (ADCU), and a bovine colostrum extract (BC) on the micronutrient status, antioxidant status, and intestinal microbiota of piglets until the post-weaning period. Twenty-three sows were fed conventional gestation and lactation diets, and twenty-four sows were fed conventional diets supplemented with ADCU. For each litter, all piglets received one of four treatments during lactation: no supplementation; ADCU; BC; and ADCU + BC. Within each litter, one low (LW) and one high birth weight (HW) piglet were euthanized before and after weaning to collect liver and intestinal samples. Serum vitamin D, liver retinol, and liver Cu were greater in ADCU piglets (p < 0.01), mostly before weaning. After weaning, liver Cu decreased markedly with a drop of 75% in all treatments, despite high levels of Cu in their post-weaning diets. The antioxidant status of piglets was not globally altered by treatments (p > 0.05). For microbiota composition, sow supplementation increased (p < 0.01) richness in bacterial species in the piglet colon, either before or shortly after weaning. Short-chain fatty acids in caecal digesta were increased by sow supplementation in LW piglets before weaning at 16 days of age (p < 0.05). In conclusion, oral supplementations to piglets increased postnatal micronutrient statuses during lactation, but this did not generally persist after weaning. Treatments to sows or piglets did not improve the response of piglets to oxidative stress, but supplementation to sows favoured gut microbiota diversity, particularly in LW piglets.

Published: February 2025

The extraction of small water bodies in the Yellow River Basin has always been a key issue of concern in the fields of remote sensing technology application, water resource management, environmental science, and geographic information systems. Due to factors such as water bodies, human activities, and cloud cover, water body extraction becomes difficult. In addition, convolutional neural networks are prone to losing small water body feature information during the process of extracting local features, which can cause more imbalance between positive and negative samples of water bodies and non-water bodies. In response to these issues, this study focused on a specific research area—the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River. We processed and analyzed high-resolution optical satellite images collected from the Yellow River Basin and other areas, with a particular emphasis on precise identification of small water bodies, and proposed a network structure, the SE-Attention-Residual-Unet (SE-ResUnet), for water extraction tasks.The main contributions of this article are threefold: (1) Introducing a channel attention mechanism with residual structure in the down-sampling process, and learning Unet’s skipping structure for multi-scale feature extraction and compensation, thereby enhancing the feature extraction ability of small water bodies, including rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. (2) Introducing a weighted-Dice (W-Dice) loss function to balance positive and negative samples and enhance the generalization of the model. (3) In comparative experiments on improving the Unet model with semantic segmentation networks such as Unet, PSPNet, Deeplabv3+ on a self-built dataset and remote sensing interpretation public dataset, excellent performance and results were achieved on the mIoU, OA, and F1-score metrics. On the self-built dataset, compared with Unet, the mIoU, OA, and F1-score improved by 0.38%, 0.12%, and 0.08%, respectively. On the publicly available dataset, for remote sensing interpretation of water extraction, the mIoU, OA, and F1-score improved by 0.63%, 0.26%, and 0.25%, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that a strategy combining an attention mechanism and a weighted loss function has a significant effect on the effectiveness of the collaborative improvement of neural network models in water extraction tasks.

The driving range and replenishment problem of electric vehicles have become the main contradictions that interfere with consumers’ purchasing decisions. To alleviate these problems, battery-swap technology has been introduced into the public view. Existing research rarely explores the factors that affect consumers’ decision of purchasing electric vehicles. This article introduces the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), as well as the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) with its extensions and the perceived risk, to construct the structural equation model (SEM) based on TAM and TPB, and studies the influence mechanism of the purchase intention of electric vehicles with a battery-swap mode. A total of 530 valid questionnaires were collected from participants in Beijing, providing a representative sample for the study. The results show that attitude, technological development, perceived behavior control, environmental awareness, and subjective norm have significant positive influences on the purchase intention, and the influences increase in turn; perceived risk has a significant negative effect; subjective norms and environmental awareness have an indirect positive effect.

THE PROBLEM OF UKRAINE’S BELONGING TO THE EUROPEAN CIVILIZATION SPACE: MENTAL-LEGAL DISCOURSE
Authors: Shtepa O.
Published: February 2025

Domestic and foreign scientific circles have long been discussing the affiliation of Ukrainian ethnic lands to civilized Europe. An important aspect in this context is the attribution of the national political and legal mentality to the family of European mentalities. For example, it should be noted that Orthodoxy, contrary to the opinion of many authors, is a European religion, the attitude of Ukrainians to private property is approximately identical to the European one. And based on the nature of the historical development of Ukrainian ethnic lands, the long stay of their part in European states (Grand Duchy of Lithuania, the Commonwealth, the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Poland, Hungary, etc.), the spread of Christianity (even in its Eastern Orthodox form), area the residence of the Ukrainian ethnos can rightly be attributed to the European space of civilization. It should also be emphasized that the mental diversity of Ukraine can play a positive role in the European integration processes of domestic society.At the same time, we must state significant differences between the content of domestic and Western automatisms. This, in particular, the difference in the attitude to work and its results, the institution of the state and law enforcement agencies, state property. And the concept of law in the Ukrainian legal mentality, in contrast to the European, is often replaced by notions of truth-justice, which on the one hand is a source of legal nihilism of Ukrainians, and on the other, gives the law a certain sacred meaning and «revives» it, preferring « spiritual law «before its» letter «Therefore, it is natural to conclude that domestic behavioral guidelines, including legal, are essentially European, but marked by certain specifics due to the» marginal position «of our people and other factors of stress genesis of domestic legal mentality.Thus, we can conclude that Ukraine is an integral part of the European civilization space, and national and Western legal mentalities in the process of interpenetration do not cause loud dissonance. It is also important that the interaction of Ukrainian and European mentalities results in a constructive transformation of the Ukrainian national character, overcoming the consequences of its stress genesis and creating a psychological basis for Ukrainians to build an effective rule of law.

Стаття присвячена аналізу законодавчих змін у сфері кримінальної відповідальності військовослужбовців за злочини, пов’язані із самовільним залишенням військової частини та дезертирством. У роботі розглянуто проблеми індивідуалізації покарання в умовах воєнного стану, зокрема обмеження щодо застосування норм, які пом’якшують покарання (статті 69, 75 КК України). Автор звертає увагу на соціальну обумовленість та ефективність нововведень у кримінальному законодавстві, аналізує практику призначення покарань у таких справах та їх вплив на забезпечення військової дисципліни. Акцент зроблено на необхідності перегляду підходів до правозастосування з метою забезпечення балансу між інтересами держави та правами військовослужбовців.

У статті автори опрацювали питання правової природи та особливості правочинів із вадами укладання під впливом обману, загрози або насильства. Проаналізо-вано основні дефініції поняття «воля» у цивільному праві, з урахуванням його міждисциплінарного характеру, зокрема філософський, юридичний і психологічний аспекти. Проблемі відповідності волі та волевиявлення у правочинах було приділено особливу увагу, як ключового принципу для оцінки їх дійсності. В роботі проаналізовано огляд історичного розвитку підходів до розуміння «влади волі» у правовій доктрині, а також зроблено огляд сучасних тенденцій трактування цієї проблематики в законодавстві України та міжнародній практиці. Наведено приклади судових прецедентів, які демонструють складність і багатоаспектність встановлення факту впливу на волевиявлення, а саме в умовах маніпуляцій, обману чи погроз. Визначено, що поняття вад волі охоплює ситуації, коли волевиявлення не відповідає справдішньому внутрішньому бажанню особи через зовнішні чи внутрішні чинники, такі як психологічний тиск, оманливі дії контрагента або обставини, що ставлять особу у вкрай невигідне становище. Було досліджено класифікації підстав для визнання правочинів недійсними. Проаналізовано основні аспекти таких дефектів волі, як недієздатність особи, помилка, обман, насильства, зловмисна домовленість між сторонами та тяжкі обставини. Зазначено, що правочини, укладені внаслідок помилки чи обману, мають суттєві юридичні наслідки, оскільки вони можуть викликати зачну шкоду для сторони, яка стала жертвою неправомірних дій. Досліджено обставини, за яких застосовуються судово-психіатричні експертизи, що сприяють встановленню факту недієздатності суб’єкта.акцентували увагу на юридичних механізмах протидії шахрайству, включаючи зловживання довірою, що часто використовується у цивільних правовідносинах для отримання неправомірної вигоди. Наголошено, що шахрайство, як форма обману, має подвійну природу: одночасно є цивільно-правовою категорією та кримінально-правовою категорією, що вимагає комплексного підходу до її вивчення.

Adanya kewenangan Judicial review Mahkamah Konstitusi telah memberikan ruang untuk menafsirkan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis implikasi hermeneutika filosofis terhadap kewenangan Judicial review Mahkamah Konstitusi. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif analisis. Hasil pembahasan, dalam pembacaan teks undang-undang selalu dibuat bersifat positivistik dan objektivisme oleh penafsir yang otoritatif, tanpa adanya prasangka hakim atau penafsir saat membaca teks undang-undang. Pandangan Hans-Georg Gadamer bahwa setiap pembacaan teks manapun, penafsir atau hakim selalu tidak pernah bersih dari tradisi dan sejarah kekiniannya (Wirkungesgeschilches) maka tidak ada pembacaan teks yang bersifat objektif dan bersih dari prasangka. Hermeneutik filosofis-nya Gadamer menunjukkan bahwa makna suatu teks tidak pernah selesai atau tertutup, selalu ada makna baru dalam interpretasi yang dilakukan oleh hakim atau penafsir, karena teks undang-undang sudah dalam horizonnya sendiri dan hakim juga sudah dalam horizonnya sendiri yang menurut Gadamer akan terjadi peleburan horizon teks undang-undang dengan horizon hakim atau penafsir, yang membuat interpretasi makna teks akan semakin meluas dalam melihat suatu makna di dalam teks inilah disebut Gadamer peleburan horizon-horizon Horizon Verschmelzung.

The purpose of this study is to determine the antibacterial activity of wax apple leaf extract (WALE) against several pathogenic Vibrio strains. Antibacterial activity, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) of wax apple leaf extract were examined in Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio alginolyticus, and Vibrio harveyi strains. The resultsshowed that the zones of bacterial inhibition against Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Vibrio vulnificus, Vibrio alginolyticus, and Vibrio harveyi were 16.00±0.00 mm, 16.67±0.58 mm, 20.00±0.00 mm, 17.00±0.00 mm, respectively. The highest minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration values of wax apple leaf extract (2,500 and 5,000 µg/mL) were determined for V. harveyi while the lowest minimum inhibitory concentration (156.25 µg/mL) and minimum bactericidal concentration values (312.5 µg/mL) were found for V. vulnificus. The minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration values were observed to be 1,250 µg/mL and 2,500 µg/mL for V. parahaemolyticus; doubled that of minimum inhibitory concentration (625 µg/mL) and minimum bactericidal concentration (1,250 µg/mL) for V. alginolyticus. The wax apple leaf extract was proven to have antibacterial activity against four strains of Vibrio above, with a ratio of MBC/MIC = 2.0.

Land and real estate, being highvalue assets, it is crucial to have authentic documents to identify and prove who is indeed the owner. However, the existing land registration processes and the use of paper certification in Vietnam and most other countries involve many vulnerabilities, leading to many land dispute cases and illegal manipulation of public land. Also, the current titling and transferring ownership procedure is quite laborious since it involves manually storing and safekeeping a large volume of registers in written form. To address this problem, alternative solutions have been proposed, including digitalizing records and storing data in a centralized database. Nonetheless, with such approaches, data transparency and its availability may not be guaranteed since data tamperingand unauthorized fraudulent change could occur in poorly maintained databases, or the system could be suspended for unexpected reasons if the servers are not appropriately backed up. In this study, a system that accelerated the land titling process and met all the required characteristics in terms of transparency and availability of data was developed. The proposed system was implemented on Ethereum blockchain, which kept all of the transactions during the land assets ownership transfer on a distributed network, therebydecreasing the cases of fraud in the process. The study then analyzed and presented several limitations of the current implementation and finally provided some possible suggestions for future improvement.
