"The concept of the post-war reconstruction of many Eastern European cities, shaped as a result of the actions of German town planners at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, in many cases consisted of negation, non-continuation or abandonment of previously set development directions. The subject of studies in this text will be the city of Poznań, which continued to develop in the post-war period on the basis of spatial arrangement created as a result of actions of Joseph Stübben in the years 1902-1918.The post-war reconstruction of the city after 1945 preserved its main urban layout created during the modernization period with the participation of a German town planner. The structure of the city preserved in this way consisted mainly of multi-family residential buildings. Urban planning and architectural activities as part of the reconstruction of the city after 1945 were aimed at continuing this concept. A critical analysis of these activities is planned in the following text. Housing construction was an important matter in the period of socialism in Eastern Europe, which on the one hand, supported propaganda activities, but on the other hand, increased the prestige of the authorities, which contributed funds to building new houses for the so-called ""working class"". ""The investor on behalf of the state were housing cooperatives, which were responsible for the preparation of project documentation, which was ordered from state design offices. The post-war reconstruction of the city of Poznań, with the use of complementary buildings, became an interesting experimental field for architects and town planners. The research presented in the text will aim to refer to the creative attitudes of the time, as well as to confront the activities on these issues carried out during the communist period and in the post-1989 period. The aforementioned urban and architectural activities can be treated as an important element of the concept of heritage protection, seen through the prism of over 100 years of history of the concept of a modern city created by Joseph Stübben at the beginning of the 20th century."

Many objects in museum collections have no or inadequate information on their origin and archaeological evidence. These objects which are classified as unprovenanced or "Orphaned" represent a big ethical and technical challenge for the museums. Re-establishing the context of these objects by scientific research proves to be the best option for museums. This study main aim is to present a testing protocol that can be used to reestablish the context and determining the provenance of unprovenanced museum objects. The testing protocol was applied on a rare copper-based cauldron from the collection of the Museum of Jordanian Heritage. The object rough date, function, provenance and manufacturing technology were determined by employing an array of scientific techniques: Optical microscopy inductively coupled plasma, optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES), reflected microscopy and lead isotopes analysis. The obtained results enabled the museum to transfer the object from the neglect of the storeroom to its main exhibition hall.

During the first decade of the 21st century, airborne laser scanning became the subject of research for many works in the field of archaeology, which considered the impact and utility of this remote sensing method in archaeological research and focused on its applicability. Today, in addition to other methods used in archaeological work, aerial scanning helps archaeologists understand historical communities and document their activities based on material remains that have survived to this day. Very importantly, research can also take place in forest areas because of the ability of airborne laser scanning to penetrate the forest cover and record the topography of the area. This paper examines the problem of identifying archaeological objects – Grodzisko (fortified settlement), located in Poland, using data from airborne aerial scanning. Various methods of advanced object analysis were presented, i.e., SVF, Slope, TPI and TRI. The acquired images made it possible to carry out identification of remnants of human activity in the past. It was decided to combine the resulting images obtained from the various analyses and perform automatic detection of the fortified settlement. Documentation from previous archaeological investigations was used to verify the results. The accuracy was assessed based on the confusion matrix, where the correctness of the automatic detection of the fortified settlement was at the level of 93% agreement.

Poland has very few historical architectural structures representing the culture of Islam. Islamic influences, especially reflected in the clothing and armament of the 17th century, and the existence of few but very well integrated communities of assimilated Tatars (the Lipka Tatars or the Lipkas) contributed to the creation of unique urban development and sacral development in the east of Poland. The villages of Kruszyniany and Bohoniki are places of special importance where works of art and architecture of religious and social values were created. The most important structures were mosques whose form synthesised Islamic architecture, local building traditions and the culture of Poland’s Eastern Borderlands. That architecture combined various cultures but retained its identity. Being also well adapted to the local climate, it is considered part of the landscape and, in a broader context, part of the cultural landscape. Houses of worship and mosques erected in Tatar villages were much less noticeable and constructed in a smaller scale than Catholic and Orthodox churches from the same period. However, Tatar architecture constitutes an integral, even if not very wellknown, part of the multi-cultural tradition of Poland’s old Eastern Borderlands. The article attempts to analyse the role of architecture in shaping and supporting the local identity of Polish Tatars. It also verifies whether elements of that architecture are re-interpreted in present-day projects. Furthermore, the article seeks an answer to the question whether local architecture offers an alternative to dynamic changes transforming both the landscape and the people.

Community Participation is fundamental for sustainable mangrove management which enhances environmental sustainability. This study analyses the setting of governance standards using policy frameworks. The study adopted a correlational research design and used a mixed methods approach. It shows awareness of policies supporting community participation in mangrove conservation was at 94.6%. The respondents who knew existing policies of the forest conservation and management act were at 27.80% closely followed by those with knowledge of local agreement with Kenya Forest Service at 25.40%, and those who practiced community/traditional by-laws at 21.80%. Notably, 18.40% of the respondents indicated knowledge of the national mangrove management plan while only 6.70% expressed awareness of the public participation law. Community participation is overly affected by gender perceptions in the education level, age, and knowledge of governance standards. The findings indicate 71% of women have not participated in setting governance standards as well as 69.20% of men. 81% of respondents disagree with the existence of county government policies in mangrove conservation. There is a lack of enough participation in setting governance standards towards the existing policy framework, affecting mangrove management.

Wildlife trade, poaching and its use is characterized as wildlife crime, also it has become a global problem. The illegal wildlife trade is a increasing problem driven by the number of factors (e.g. alternative medicine, accessories and subsistence). High demand for illicit wildlife products is threatening the existence of many of the most of d species. Enquiring and investigating crime hotspots include analyzing the enforcement of law and seizure data, highlighting areas with high biodiversity has been studied here. In this present study, we have analyzed wildlife crime hotspot in different districts/ divisions of Uttar Pradesh, India from 2012 to 2021.Basically, we have extracted the data which include information on trafficking, illegal possessions, breaking hunting and poaching laws and exploitation, illegal scientific collections, and information from mass media. In results, study support the understanding that the reports of illegal trade are underestimates. This research helps to gain the understanding the exact reason to the problem. This study also supports to inform policies and strategies to combat the poaching and hunting activities that affect wildlife in regions with high biodiversity. Moreover, this also provides the first detailed state of assessment on illegal trade and hunting in Uttar Pradesh. The analysis done suggests trade in wildlife in protected areas of 12 districts of Uttar Pradesh and hike in trade of mammalian species, like Indian Pangolin, and leopard. In addition, the seizure reported more often in different districts and areas bordering Nepal, China, and gulf countries. This states that well-organized illegal wildlife trade and associations taking place in Uttar Pradesh and gulf countries act as both a source and a transit country.

"Chronic infectious diseases caused by biofilm-forming pathogenic bacteria are the second rank causes of death in Indonesia after heart and blood vessel diseases. The emergence of antibiotic-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii pathogenic bacteria worldwide poses the main medicinal challenge to the search for new antibiotics. However, the use of marine invertebrates as raw material sources is not ecologically friendly due to the low concentration of bioactive compounds in marine invertebrates. This study aimed to investigate gorgonian Plexaura sp.-associated bacteria that have the potential as anti nosocomial pathogenic A. baumannii. A total of 29 gorgonian Plexaura sp.-associated bacterial isolates were screened for their antibacterial activity against nosocomial pathogenic A. baumannii. The 5 bacterial isolates exhibited antipathogenic activity against A. baumannii. The RA17-2 isolate showed the highest diameter size of the inhibition zone. The 16S rRNA sequence analyses revealed that these 5 isolates were closely related to Bacillus, Virgibacillus, and Nitratireductor. None of the 5 antipathogenic isolates possess PKS-I, PKS-II, and NRPS genes, except the PKS-I gene of the RA17-2 isolate. These results showed that Plexauridae sp is a potential source for the development of antibiotic drugs."
Safeguarding Prisoners' Rights in India: Constitutional Perspective
Authors: - Navdeep Kadian
Published: April 2023

There are certain inalienable rights which are inherited to the human beings since birth no matter in which country he/she takes birth. These inalienable rights are regarded as the basic human rights of the human beings which include the right to food, shelter, water, defense and protection from torture, violence and so on. In India, these basic human rights are granted to the citizens of the nation in the form of Fundamental Rights and the Directive Principles of State Policy as provided under Part III and Part IV. There are three pillars on which the criminal justice system stands upright- the judiciary, police and the prison population. The paper focuses on the basic human rights of the prisoners, how their rights are abused as well as the remedies provided to them for the violation of their inalienable rights. Both in India and at the global level, protections are provided to the rights of the prisoners and it is ensured that no matter what crime they did, just and humane treatment and certain other human rights must never be taken away from them. Although the prisoners are unwanted elements of the society, yet the protection of their basic human rights is a constitutional duty. Safe environment and way of living is what every human being has a right to have.

Published: April 2023

The goal of designing sustained release drug delivery systems of tablets is to reduce the frequency of dosing or to increase the effectiveness of the drug by localization at the site of action, reducing the dose required, or providing controlled drug delivery.

The oral route is considered as the most promising route of drug delivery. Effective oral drug delivery may depend upon the factor such as gastric emptying process, gastrointestinal transit time of dosage form. Most of the oral dosage forms possess several physiological limitations such as variable gastrointestinal transit, because of variable gastric emptying leading to non-uniform absorption profiles, incomplete drug release and shorter residence time of the dosage form in the stomach. This lead to incomplete absorption of drug having absorption window especially upper part of small intestine, as once the drug passes down the absorption site the remaining quantity goes down unabsorbed.

War is a social creation which entails the creation as well as subversion of authority figures. Wars range from basic, to those fought with highly advanced inventions. Regardless of the method, peace is the natural outcome of all wars. Various studies have been undertaken to understand the methods and tactics involved in peace establishment operations. Despite such efforts, wars continue to emerge in different regions of the world. This study aims to identify the most common methods of peace establishment and discern the productiveness of each of the methods identified. Theory of Post Traumatic Growth (PTG) and Theory of Tragic Optimism are used to illustrate how war is both traumatic and therapeutic in nature. The author has indicated two kinds of peace establishment which are widely practised in everyday world. One is a widely favoured method consisting of negotiation and the other involves the use of deceit and force to establish peace. It has been observed that thrusting peace upon society proves beneficial in the short run but becomes detrimental later. On the whole as negotiated peace is established amicably, it tends to last longer in the society.

Благодійність як ключова християнська цінність у професійній діяльності українських юристів
Authors: Білавич Галина , Мукан Наталія , Козловський Юрій
Published: April 2023

Період кінця ХІХ – 30-х рр. ХХ ст. у Галичині є плідним на численні приклади благодійності українських правників, які через безкорисливу добровільну допомогу (особисту / майнову), участь в українських громадських товариствах та станових (професійних) інституціях добровільно спрямовували ресурси, майно тощо для допомоги окремим соціально незахищеним групам людей, правового захисту, освіти та навчання українців, розв’язання актуальних соціальних, правових, культурно-освітніх, суспільно-політичних проблем, поліпшення умов громадського життя.

Особливістю діяльності українських юристів, які гуртувалися в Товаристві українсько-руських правників та Союзі українських адвокатів, було те, що соціально-правовий захист українства на засадах благодійності став пріоритетом професійної діяльності юристів. Правники активно обстоювали станові інтереси української адвокатури, захищали права української мови в судах і державних установах тощо. Важливим аспектом діяльності на ниві благодійництва стало правове просвітництво українського населення. Безпрецедентним явищем були виступи цілої плеяди українських правників у судових процесах оборонцями не лише українських громадсько-політичних партій та об’єднань, а й гучних процесів, в яких вони захищали українських юнаків, членів ОУН, національно свідомих патріотів.

Прикладом християнського служіння є діяльність адвоката, громадського діяча та письменника Є. Калитовського, який започаткував у Галичині рух щодо догляду за стрілецькими могилами, спрямований на формування історичної пам’яті та національно-патріотичних почуттів юнацтва. Завдяки активній парламентській і політичній діяльності українські юристи вагомо спричинилися до соціально-правового, національного захисту українства. Українські правники фактично окреслили професіограму юриста, з-поміж компетентностей якого, окрім фахових умінь, помітне місце посідали питання правової, моральної культури, християнсько-етичні проблеми фахової діяльності, що враховували питання громадського служіння на благо українського народу, що в контексті концепції «національної автаркії» означало самовіддану подвижницьку працю задля майбутнього національного, політичного, економічного визволення України.

У статті наголошується, що музеї сьогодні, відображаючи соціальні трансформації в суспільстві та культурі, зазнають неабияких змін у своїй структурі, змісті та діяльності. Музейна педагогіка як галузь знань має багатий потенціал виходу на міжпредметні горизонти, завдяки чому посилюються соціальні функції музеїв, збільшується їхня роль у наданні освітніх послуг молоді, зокрема на етапі здобуття вищої освіти. Відповідно музейна діяльність нині набуває дедалі більшого соціокультурного значення, значно зростає педагогічна роль музеїв у збереженні та інтерпретації культурної спадщини, в складних процесах соціальної адаптації, культурної ідентифікації, а також в освітньому процесі.

Окреслено підходи до вивчення музейної педагогіки здобувачами освіти різних спеціальностей, обговорено способи інтеракції музеїв із закладами освіти та студентами закладів вищої освіти. Доведено думку про те, що сучасний музей під впливом активного оновлення, клопіткої роботи музейних працівників, інтеграції новітніх інформаційно-комунікаційних технологій фактично перетворюється із пасивного культурного чи наукового простору на справжній центр освіти й інформаційних технологій у сфері культури та творчих інновацій. За цих умов створення віртуального простору музею в умовах сьогодення не є рідкістю, навпаки, обов’язковою умовою його життя. Зважаючи на це, у найближчому майбутньому можна буде з упевненістю стверджувати про музейно-освітнє інформаційне середовище.

Bidens pilosa finds therapeutic applications in the traditional medicine. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of various extracts obtained from the leaves and stem-bark of B. pilosa by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging assay and ferric reducing power assay. We also aimed to determine the total phenolic contents (TPCs) by Folin-Ciocalteu colorimetric method and total flavonoid contents (TFCs) by the aluminium chloride colorimetric method. Various solvent extracts were obtained from the leaves and stem-bark of B. pilosa by maceration and hot solvent extraction techniques. The extracts from leaves and stem-bark exhibited radical scavenging activity in the ranges of 4.40 ± 1.02-81.18 ± 1.14% and 5.92 ± 2.16-79.34 ± 8.43%, respectively at concentrations of 200-3,000 µg/mL. The positive control, ascorbic acid exhibited radical scavenging activity in a range of 55.17 ±1.89-88.12 ± 1.31% at the same concentrations. Additionally, the methanol extracts from both leaves and stem-bark were found to be the most potent with IC50 values of 848.54 and < 200 µg/mL, respectively. The positive control, ascorbic acid exhibited an IC50 value < 200 µg/mL. Furthermore, the extracts from the leaves and stem-bark exhibited ferric reducing power in the ranges of 0.095 ± 0.017-1.175 ± 0.084 and 0.093 ± 0.006-1.100 ± 0.065, respectively at concentrations of 5-100 µg/mL. The positive control, ascorbic acid exhibited a ferric reducing power in the range of 0.326 ± 0.00-1.213 ± 0.078 at concentrations of 5-100 µg/mL. In addition, the TPCs of extracts from the leaves and stem-bark were determined to be in the ranges of 9.03 ± 2.34-179.31 ± 0.96 and 10.93 ± 1.04-154.04 ± 2.15 mg GAE/g of DW of extract, respectively. Similarly, the TFCs of extracts from the leaves and stem-bark were determined to be in the ranges 1.28 ± 0.05-29.33 ± 4.19 and 1.89 ± 0.58-27.75 ± 2.67 mg QE/g of DW of extract, respectively. From this study, we concluded that various extracts obtained from B. pilosa showed a moderate to strong radical scavenging and ferric reducing power and possessed a significant amount of TPCs and TFCs.

Rapid population growth observed across the global landscape can be traced from the dawn of the last half of the twentieth century. The period is marked by enormous land use and land cover changes, the rising rate of declining biological resources as well a continuous high rate of urbanisation. Dar es Salaam City, once a fishing village but now the most industrialised and urbanised city in Tanzania, has not been spared of such changes. This article composition intended to uncover the correlation between population growth and solid waste generation in the city of Dar es Salaam. The data inputs involved Tanzania’s national population census for the years 2002, 2012, and 2022, but also shapefiles for Dar es Salaam City and the United Republic of Tanzania. Dar es Salaam city’s wards, the lowest but one administrative level in Tanzania, were central in this study as the lowest unit of analysis. Data management for this spatiotemporal study was done in Microsoft spreadsheet, while data analysis involved the use of the ArcMap platform of ArcGIS version 10.5. The results show a strong relationship between population growth and municipal solid waste generation in Dar es Salaam city. From the visual results, the overall impact of population on solid waste generation is well presented across both census years. Despite varying at different times in the twenty years of the study period, wards such as Kunduchi, Mabibo, Majohe, Mbagala Kuu, Mbezi, Mianzini, Saranga, Segerea, Vingunguti, Wazo, and Charambe produced significant amounts of solid waste. Across the study period, Vingunguti and Majohe were revealed to be the only two wards in the city that have continued generating high solid wastes. These visual results display the almost exact location of a high waste generation hence delivering information necessary for strategic and informed decision-making, henceforth, policy formulation towards solid generation and management.

It is now well-acknowledged that microbiota has a profound influence on both human health and illness. The gut microbiota has recently come to light as a crucial element that influences cancer through a variety of mechanisms. The connections between the microbiome and cancer therapy are further highlighted by a number of preclinical and clinical evidence, suggesting that these complicated interactions may vary by cancer type, treatment, or even by tumor stage. The paradoxical relationship between gut microbiota and cancer therapies is that in some cancers, the gut microbiota may be necessary to maintain therapeutic efficacy, whereas, in other cancers, gut microbiota depletion significantly increases efficacy. Actually, mounting research has shown that the gut microbiota plays a crucial role in regulating the host immune response and boosting the efficacy of anticancer medications like chemotherapy and immunotherapy. Therefore, gut microbiota modulation, which aims to restore gut microbial balance, is a viable technique for cancer prevention and therapy given the expanding understanding of how the gut microbiome regulates treatment response and contributes to carcinogenesis. This review will provide an outline of the gut microbiota’s role in health and disease, along with a summary of the most recent research on how it may influence the effectiveness of various anticancer medicines and affect the growth of cancer. This study will next cover the newly developed microbiota-targeting strategies including prebiotics, probiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) to enhance anticancer therapy effectiveness, given its significance.
