The article’s goal is to specify how the jurisdiction of Supreme Court and Constitutional Tribunal of the Republic of Poland see desuetudo. It is preceded by a brief theoretical introduction. The examples show that we can tell about the desuetudo much more than just that it is caused by not applying the law and non-compliance with the law. In particular, desuetudo turns out to be restricted and cannot be applied to whichever norm.
Locus of control, feeling of happiness and self-esteem: interrelation analysis
Authors: Shubina Ivanna
Published: July 2023

Recent interest in positive psychology is reflected in a plenty of studies conducted on its basic constructs in interrelation with personality features, social rules, business and technology development. It is recognized that the relationship between self-esteem, happiness, locus of control is complex: internal LOC is contributing to happiness, but it is not directly related to it; self-esteem is a powerful and important psychological factor in mental health and well-being; the feelings of being worthy and empowered are associated with significant achievements and high self-esteem; strong and appropriate self-esteem (when the discrepancy between “ideal” and “real” self is balanced) is correlated with more internal LOC (when the individual tends to believe that personal achievements depend on possessed features, vigor and persistence).

Despite the special attention paid to happiness, locus of control and self-esteem, independently, theoretical and empirical equivocations within each literature foreclose many obvious predictions about the nature of their empirical distinction. In terms of theoretical framework, no model has achieved consensus as an ultimate theoretical background for any of the mentioned constructs.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of self-esteem, exploring the relationships between self-esteem and happiness, self-esteem and locus of control (LOC). It hypothesizes that self-esteem may be interpreted as a predictor of happiness and mediator in locus of control establishment. A plenty of various empirical studies results have been analysed in order to collect data for this theoretical study and some of the analysed results can be considered as arguable or incoherent
Challenges of Transformative-Strategic Leadership in Developing Economies; an Analysis of Africa Leadership Approach in Economic Development
Authors: Waichungo Peter Njuguna
Published: July 2023

Leadership is a process that brings about change, and not maintaining the status quo in a society. A constant change that does not coercing followers, but it is a sharing process of the same purpose and values. An important aspect of leadership is influencing others to come together around a common vision and perform a certain responsibility to bring about change toward a desirable future. Transformationalstrategic leadership is a process of complex changes in organizations that finally transforms people, and through them the whole business environment. However, though several scholars have been critical of research efforts relating to leadership in developing countries, very few have attributed Transformational-strategic leadership to change that focus on economic development in emerging economies. The need for transformativestrategic leadership and governance in developing economies is timely, important and no doubt topical, reflecting the worldwide thrust toward political and economic liberalization in the 21st century. African citizens have difficulties understanding about leadership competence, emotional and social intelligence are developed; there are challenges that definitely influence economic development. This study takes a theoretical approach and a content analysis in developing a critical role of transformational-strategic leadership in economic development laying more emphasis in African leadership challenges in the 21st century. It is an analysis of transformative- strategic leadership in developing economies and the efforts being made to address leadership challenges in Africa and the need for a locally driven strategy to develop leadership that will influence knowledge based economy. The objective of the study is to assess challenges facing leadership styles and processes that are affecting developing countries especially in Africa.
Revitalisasi Nilai-Nilai Khitbah Didalam Hadis Sebagai Upaya Menjaga Kemuliaan Perempuan (Analisis Hadis Tematik)
Authors: Khatimah Husnul
Published: July 2023

The values of khitbah contained in authentic hadith are indeed important to study. Remembering the khitbah here is the process before the consent qabul occurs in marriage. Whereas marriage is a very strong bond and the longest worship in life, therefore as Muslims we must follow the guidance of the Prophet, remembering that Rasulullah SAW is our example. Making the values in this hadith very important, steps must be taken to revitalize these values. One of them is by analyzing several hadiths which explain the terms and conditions of khitbah in Islam. For this study the authors used qualitative methods with thematic study analysis. The author’s object is to discuss the values in the hadith and how to maintain the glory of women. Where the results of this literature research explain that the purpose of the prophet’s hadiths is to glorify women and not even be rigid in providing protection for the rights and obligations of husbands and wives.
When the law is unclear: challenges and opportunities for data and information exchange in the Tigris-Euphrates and Indus river basins
Authors: Hasan Qaraman M. , Salar Sarkawt Ghazi , Raman Durgeshree , Campbell Sam , Qasim Palani Ibrahim
Published: July 2023

Data and information exchange are vital for long-term transboundary water cooperation. However, many transboundary river basins lack regular data exchange between riparian States. In many cases, this is simply a feature of the generally fragmented nature of transboundary water cooperation; in others, transboundary river basin data sharing may be withheld for geopolitical reasons. The Tigris-Euphrates and Indus river basins are among the most highly politicized river basins globally. Cooperation between riparians is complicated by a lack of certainty regarding data, information exchange and legal obligations, as upper riparians in both basins have persistently objected to the customary law of international watercourses. With reference to international water law, this article ascertains the level of data and information exchange in these two basins, both through formal and informal structures, as well as prevalent obstacles and the institutional and technological responses to them. Despite significant challenges, the authors argue that technological advances can stimulate enhanced riparian cooperation.

Remote Leadership and Work Engagement: A Critical Review and Future Directions
Authors: Makowski Patryk
Published: July 2023

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic shook the entire world. All sectors, industries, organisations, and more importantly, people were affected by multiple restrictions implemented by their respective governing bodies. Federal lockdowns and all the emerging laws and regulations associated with them have forced organisations worldwide to transition their operations to remote environments. The implications from the organisations’ perspective vary from leadership to management, structure to operations, and training and development to policy making. However, from the employees’ perspective, the implications vary from general well-being to work engagement, satisfaction to motivation, and followership to trust. Nonetheless, remote work has other implications, such as productivity, the impact of social distancing, work-life balance, and isolation concerns. Therefore, this article aims to present critical thinking and comprehensively analyse the existing literature on remote working, transformational leadership, and work engagement contexts. Theoretical and practical gaps are discussed, and recommendations for future research could contribute to our better understanding of remote leadership and its practical elements. Remote working environments are believed to be permanent working arrangements for many organisations and employees; hence, scholars and practitioners must explore them to further depths.

Children today are surrounded by both traditional and cutting-edge digital media worldwide. Children's daily life now includes screen time starting as early as infancy. Preschoolers exposed to interactive and screen media may benefit in a variety of ways, but excessive or unsuitable screen time may offer health and developmental hazards. The environment, including parents, siblings, and classmates, has a major effect on children's development. More than ever before, children are absorbing video and internet gaming content. Approximately one hour every day is spent engaging with and observing digital screens. Children are interacting with screens more frequently every day as virtual learning approaches are adopted more frequently in classrooms. Even while screen time is a necessary part of life at home and at school, keeping track of how much time your child spends using screens is crucial for their general development. To encourage healthy development in this digital age, In order to promote in-person play and physical exercise among preschoolers, parents and caregivers must endeavor to reduce screen-based activities.

Authors: Tugut Nilufer , Golbasi Zehra , Kaya Didem
Published: July 2023

The aim of this study is to determine the relationship between women's marital adjustment and sexual quality of life, and their use of family planning methods. This is a descriptive study. The sample size was calculated as 349 women. Data were collected using the personal information form, the Dyadic Adjustment Scale, and the Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire-Female. The data obtained were analyzed using the SPSS 23.0 software by creating the database. The stat൴st൴cal s൴gn൴f൴cance level was set at 0.05. The mean scores the participants obtained from the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire-Female were 106.27±22.21 and 77.46±21.85 respectively. Of the participating women, 36.7% used an intrauterine device for birth control, 27.8% used condoms, 13.8% used hormonal drugs. No statistically significant differences were determined between the mean scores obtained from the Dyadic Adjustment Scale and between the mean scores obtained from the Sexual Quality of Life Questionnaire-Female in terms of the family planning methods the participants used (p>0.05). However, differences between the mean scores the participants obtained from the affectional expression subscale of Dyadic Adjustment Scale were found to be statistically significant in terms of the family planning methods they used (p<0.05). While the marital adjustment was high among the participating women their quality of life level was moderate. It was determined that the sexual quality of life increased as the marital adjustment increased. It was also determined that family planning methods the participants preferred affected not their sexual quality of life and marital adjustment but the affectional expression subscale. Family planning methods the participating women used did not affect their marital adjustment and sexual quality, but hormonal drugs and intra uterin device affected their scores for the affectional expression subscale of the DyadicAdjustment Scale.

Published: July 2023

OBJECTIVES: To develop a simple small-footprint, single-screw Hot Melt Extrusion device that can combine with existing laboratory equipment to facilitate rapid generation of 3D-printable HME filaments and benchtop quantities of 3D-printed filament for scale-up processes. METHODS: Design and development of the low-cost device which we call the MiniXtruder was carried out in silico and was manufactured using conventional laboratory tools, machining and 3D printing. To compare its capability, identical filament was produced on a commercial twin-screw extruder and compared with filament from the MiniXtruder. Extrudates from plain-PCL/PCL-caffeine loaded pellets were analysed by TGA, DSC and SEM. 3D printing of the was carried out on a MakerBot Replicator 2X Desktop 3D-printer. KEY FINDINGS: Realisation of the MiniXtruder as a small footprint/low-cost HME device that can produce 3D printable filaments. Different materials can be used with the device, resulting in facile extrudate production. The MiniXtruder shows versatility and decreased time/material consumption with low internal volumes and replicable filament production. CONCLUSION: The MiniXtruder’s potential to produce 3D-printable filament has shown that it is suitable for use in a laboratory setting and that it can replicate the production of 3D-printable filament from more expensive extruders whilst minimising the internal dead volume.
In-the-wild Material Appearance Editing using Perceptual Attributes
Authors: Subías Sarrato José Daniel , Lagunas Manuel
Published: July 2023

Intuitively editing the appearance of materials, just from a single image, is a challenging task given the complexity and ambiguity of the interactions between light and matter. This problem has been traditionally solved by estimating additional factors of the scene like geometry or illumination, thus solving an inverse rendering problem where the interaction of light and matter needs to be modelled. Instead,  we present a single-image appearance editing framework that allows to intuitively modify the material appearance of an object by increasing or decreasing high-level perceptual attributes describing appearance (e.g., glossy or metallic). Our framework uses just an in-the-wild image as input, where geometry or illumination are not controlled.

We rely on generative neural networks and, in particular, on Selective Transfer Generative Adversarial Networks (STGAN) that allow to preserve high-frequency details from the input image in the edited one. To train our framework we combine pairs of synthetic images, rendered with physically-based ray tracing algorithms, and their corresponding ratings of the high-level attributes, given by humans through crowd-sourced user studies. Last, although trained on synthetic images, we demonstrate the applicability of our method on synthetic video sequences; and real-world photographs downloaded from online catalogs and manually taken using our mobile phones.

En este estudio se determinaron propiedades antioxidantes y contenido de fenoles totales de extractos de orégano (Lippia graveolens), eucalipto (Eucalyptus cinerea) y chile jalapeño (Capsicum annuum cv.). Para ello, el contenido de fenoles totales se determinó mediante la técnica de Folin Ciocalteu y actividad antioxidante por el método de DPPH (1,1-difenil-2-picrilhidrazil) a las horas 1, 2 y 3 correspondientes a la duración del proceso de extracción. Los resultados obtenidos indicaron que la mayor cantidad de compuestos fenólicos fue presentada por el orégano a la hora 3 (23.465±0.143 mg AG/ g MS), con respecto a los demás extractos vegetales. Mientras que para la actividad antioxidante el eucalipto presento el mayor porcentaje de inhibición (80.34 %), frente a la captación de radicales libres de DPPH, reflejando de esta manera su alta actividad antioxidante. De los resultados anteriores, se puede concluir que el extracto de eucalipto fue el que tuvo mayor potencial nutracéutico, sin embargo, tanto extracto de chile como de orégano presentaron buenas propiedades antioxidantes y en consecuencia podrían tener buenas propiedades nutraceúticas, las cuales podrían aprovecharse para futuras aplicaciones en áreas como tecnología de alimentos, farmacéutica, industria cosmética, agrícola, entre otros.

Published: July 2023

Located around the Mangrove Production and Protection Forest in Tanjung Harapan Village, Kubu Raya Regency, the Bongkok River quality needs to be studied to determine the quality of the river. This study aims to determine the physicochemical quality of water and the community structure of phytoplankton in the Bongkok River during the dry and rainy seasons. The survey method was used at three stations and 9 observation points in both seasons. Phytoplankton types are identified up to the species level. The physicochemical factors observed included temperature, transparency, water flow, pH, salinity, dissolved oxygen, dissolved carbon dioxide, and levels of nitrate and phosphate. The community structure is seen from the abundance, diversity, uniformity, and dominance index values. From a physicochemical perspective, the Bongkok River is a brackish water type with relatively low levels of phosphate and nitrate nutrients and high dissolved CO2, but dissolved oxygen is still good enough to support aquatic life. There are 41 phytoplankton species from 6 classes, including Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Dinophyceae, Euglenaphyceae, and Xanthophyceae. The phytoplankton abundance in the dry season is higher than in the rainy season but is still at a low to moderate level. The phytoplankton diversity in the Bongkok River is in the medium category (2.46 – 2.67) but has a high evenness (0.72-0.89) and low dominance (0.11-0.18). Overall, the water conditions in the Bongkok River are sufficient to support the life of aquatic biota. However, the abundance of phytoplankton is still at a low to moderate level, especially during the rainy season.

Criminal System Disparity in The Indonesian Immigration Law 2011
Authors: Rahayu Dista Dewi , Arifin Ridwan , Zakaria Luby Lukman
Published: July 2023

The Criminal Provisions in Indonesian Immigration Law of 2011 are designed as acts of legislation for preventing transnational organized crimes in Indonesia. This law has existed for more than 10 years and has been no critical evaluation of the immigration criminal provisions. The construction of the criminal system has a non-uniform pattern of penal policy formation. This research employed the doctrinal research method with deductive reasoning that analyzed Articles on immigration criminal provisions from the perspective of Jeremy Bentham’s theory of punishment analyzing the quality of criminal Articles. The results indicate that there are reactive and not pre-empting immigration criminal provisions, poor criminal provisions during immigration examinations, disparities in Judge’s decisions at courts, varied patterns of punishment and sanctions, and inconsistency of criminal liability arrangements against corporations. Reconstruction of immigration criminal Articles is urged to achieve Bentham’s principles and objectives of the law in sentencing. Criminal Articles should be dominated to prevent cross-border crimes during immigration clearance.
Can Observational Learning Reinforce Open-label Placebo Hypoalgesia?
Authors: Brączyk Justyna , Babel Przemysław
Published: July 2023

Previous research has indicated that an open-label placebo can reduce pain in both healthy participants and chronic pain patients. As nondeceptive placebos seem to be an effective and more ethical alternative to deceptive placebos, optimizing this kind of treatment is essential. Observational learning was previously shown to induce the deceptive placebo effect; therefore, this study aimed to verify its effectiveness in fortifying the open-label placebo effect. Healthy volunteers (N=117) were randomly assigned to four groups: open-label placebo with (OLP+OBL) or without (OLP) observational learning, deceptive placebo with observational learning (OBL), or control group. Participants underwent baseline and testing measurements, during which they self-reported pain induced by heat stimulation. Between assessments, placebo cream was openly administered in the OLP and OLP+OBL groups. The OLP+OBL group next watched a model experiencing hypoalgesia after cream application. In the OBL, participants received placebo cream with no information about its effect, and then they watched the model. The placebo effect was successfully evoked in both open-label groups, which confirms the effectiveness of this intervention for pain reduction. However, the hypoalgesic effect was of similar magnitude in the OLP and OLP+OBL groups, which indicates that observation did not contribute to the effect. The placebo effect was absent in the OBL group. The results showed that reinforcing the open-label placebo by observational learning may be redundant, but more research is needed to confirm these findings.
A Comparison between the Product-Refill and the Equalization Oxygen Pressure Swing Adsorption Processes
Authors: Abdel-Rahman Zaid Adnan
Published: July 2023

This work presents a design for a pressure swing adsorption process (PSA) to separate oxygen from air with approximately 95% purity, suitable for different numbers of columns and arrangements. The product refill PSA process was found to perform 33% better (weight of zeolite required or productivity) than the pressure equalization process. The design is based on the adsorption equilibrium of a binary mixture of O2 and N2 for two of the most commonly used adsorbents, 5A & 13X, and extension from a single column approach. Zeolite 13X was found to perform 6% better than zeolite 5A. The most effective variables were determined to be the adsorption step time and the operational pressure. Increasing the adsorption step time from 1 to 5 minutes decreased the performance by approximately 5 times. Increasing the pressure from 2 to 6 bars increased the performance by approximately 3 times.

Environmental problems, which increase with dramatic accelerations, deepen their effects with global crises such as epidemics and wars, and on the other hand, they become difficult or even impossible to get out of with new problems. In particular, the decrease in basic life resources has required humanity to be purged of a comfortable but irresponsible life model once again. The foremost of these sources, water requires a separate attention and effort as it is indispensable. Because water is not only a vital need, but also a primary factor that shapes many important issues such as the settlements, lives, cultures and relations of societies. When this interaction, which has continued since the existence of human beings, is evaluated in terms of environmental history, the Ottoman Empire has been one of the civilizations that come to the fore with its success from its deep-rooted past. The Ottoman's approach and sensitivity to water constituted the basis for it to be referred to as "water civilization" and therefore to be chosen as the subject of the study. In this study, the footprints of the "water" in terms of the environmental history of the Ottoman Empire were followed; It is aimed to reveal approaches related to water supply, waste water, savings, protection and security of resources, floods, measures taken and the use of water from industry to energy. In addition, it is aimed that the approaches that can shed light on the present, being a role model for today's modern (!) societies, being a source of inspiration and contributing to environmental awareness are important outputs.

MARCO TEMPORAL E O IMPACTO NA VIDA DAS COMUNIDADES INDÍGENAS

Published: July 2023

Os povos originários habitam o Brasil desde antes do período de colonização, quando já se utilizavam do meio ambiente para viver. A Constituição Federal de 1988 reconheceu como direito dos povos indígenas de permanecerem em suas terras tradicionalmente ocupadas, podendo usufruir de forma exclusiva das riquezas naturais, sendo dever do Estado demarcar estas terras, fato que não ocorreu e facilitou a invasão por fazendeiros em uma disputa assimétrica que resultou na violenta expulsão dos povos de seus territórios. Neste contexto, este estudo promove uma análise do discurso de lideranças indígenas brasileiras sobre o julgamento do Supremo Tribunal Federal do Brasil sobre o processo relativo ao marco temporal das terras indígenas. Também é recorrente na análise dos discursos das lideranças indígenas, que as comunidades indígenas já têm sido alvo, por parte do atual governo federal, de abandono generalizado e, o marco temporal se aprovado, além de afrontar a Constituição brasileira, é uma ameaça ao agravamento da crise climática pelas queimadas da floresta e agricultura de alto impacto, bem como, pode no futuro, dizimar as comunidades indígenas pelo aumento do confronto com invasores pelas reservas de terras e florestas.

Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive brain neurostimulation technique that can be used as one of the adjunctive treatment techniques for neurological recovery after stroke. Animal studies have shown that TMS treatment of rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) model reduced cerebral infarct volume and improved neurological dysfunction in model rats. In addition, clinical case reports have also shown that TMS treatment has positive neuroprotective effects in stroke patients, improving a variety of post-stroke neurological deficits such as motor function, swallowing, cognitive function, speech function, central post-stroke pain, spasticity, and other post-stroke sequelae. However, even though numerous studies have shown a neuroprotective effect of TMS in stroke patients, its possible neuroprotective mechanism is not clear. Therefore, in this review, we describe the potential mechanisms of TMS to improve neurological function in terms of neurogenesis, angiogenesis, anti-inflammation, antioxidant, and anti-apoptosis, and provide insight into the current clinical application of TMS in multiple neurological dysfunctions in stroke. Finally, some of the current challenges faced by TMS are summarized and some suggestions for its future research directions are made.
The health of working dogs in conservation in Africa
Authors: Earnshaw Nicola , Anderson Neil , Mackay Jill , Parker Megan
Published: July 2023

Introduction

Dogs are increasingly being employed for conservation purposes worldwide. In Africa, they work in challenging environments with unique health risks which have not been investigated until now.

Methods

To understand the health challenges faced by the dogs, semi-structured interviews were conducted with participants from 14 organisations that used working dogs in their conservation programmes. The data was qualitatively analysed by thematic analysis.

Results

Five themes were generated. Three affective themes influenced how participants responded to the challenges associated with having a successful conservation dog programme. A strong handler-dog attachment, proficient handler training, and the acknowledgement of the challenging environment were pivotal to maintaining dog health. Two themes related to the difficulties in managing these programmes and how veterinary support interacts with the management choices being made.

Discussion

To have healthy conservation dogs, current and future programmes should focus on fostering the handler-dog relationship and provide continuous handler training. The management of conservation dogs’ health should adopt an evidence-based approach. Future research should focus on areas where the evidence base is lacking, particularly in the areas of prevention and treatment of African canine trypanosomiasis. Programmes should develop a good working relationship with a veterinarian that has access to evidence-based veterinary medical information.

New Boraginales from Tropical America 10: New Species of Cordia from Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru
Authors: Miller James S. , Robinson Colin , Patrick Victoria
Published: July 2023

Two new species of Cordia L. (Boraginales: Cordiaceae), C. caudata J. S. Mill. and C. caucana J. S. Mill., are described from Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru. Both species are quite distinctive morphologically, but their relationships are not evident, so they are compared with the two other species known from Colombia with which they are most likely to be confused. Both new species are apparently uncommon and have geographically restricted ranges and are of conservation concern.
