Published: September 2023

Black carrot (known as Daucus carota ssp. sativus var. atrorubens Alef.) production of Turkey is increasing day by day. New production fields are added to existing ones and production are ever increasing. Black carrot is processed as concentrated and used as a natural colorant for the color of purple and tones in food and beverage industries. Black carrot is also consumed as a fermented beverage. However, the studies carried out on black carrot culture in Turkey are highly limited. This study was carried out to determine energy balances in black carrot production since it is a significant source of income. Results revealed that direct and indirect total energy input in black carrot cultivation was 58 014.8 MJ/ha, total energy output was 119 560 MJ/ha, Output/input ratio (OI) was 2.06 and net energy ratio (NER) was 1.06.

Published: September 2023

The preservation of the health of the working-age population is the most important condition for the sustainable development of the country. Рurpose of the study. Study of gender-specific morbidity with temporary disability (MTD) and mortality due to COVID‑19 in the working-age population. Materials and methods. The indicators of MTD and mortality of the population aged 15 59 years by gender and major classes of diseases for 2019‑2021 were analyzed. For 2020 and 2021, the age-related indicators of MTD and mortality due to COVID‑19 were analyzed. Results. The analysis of the structure of the causes of acute respiratory infections and causes of death of men and women showed significant differences in the years before and during the COVID‑19 pandemic. Standardized mortality rates from all causes in men compared to 2019 increased by 10.1% in 2020 and by 17.1% in 2021 to 774.9 per 100 thousand. For women, respectively, by 16.4% in 2020 and by 33.4% in 2021 to 338.2 per 100 thousand. The increase was mainly due to deaths from a new coronavirus infection. In parallel, mortality from respiratory diseases increased by 28‑35% in men and 2.1 times in women. Lower age-related indicators of MTD due to COVID‑19 were revealed in men than in women, but mortality, on the contrary, is 1.2‑1.8 times higher than in women. Conclusion. The revealed gender features of morbidity and mortality due to COVID‑19 in the working-age population are not a unique feature of the new coronavirus infection, but express a general pattern of high mortality rates in men against a background of low morbidity and, conversely, in women — relatively low mortality rates with high morbidity rates.

Working with harmful production factors (HPF) is accompanied by the risks of disability among probationary workers. Among the risk factors are the working conditions of patients, regulatory regulation of professional suitability, and the state of health of workers. The analysis of work capacity was carried out using the questionnaire «Work Ability Index» in 150 workers in the manufacturing industry and using a specially designed card in 235 patients with chronic occupational diseases. The obtained results indicate that the adapted questionnaire «Work Ability Index» is applicable for screening assessment of the work ability of those working with HPF, both in a hospital setting and in a polyclinic. 82% of HPF trainees had good or very good working ability. Patients with chronic occupational diseases lost their ability to work as a result of long-term work with HPF, and persistent disability with a high percentage of disability was noted relatively rarely, in about 10‑12% of cases.

Published: September 2023

In instructional management styles and strategies, parents observe teachers and administration employed in an academic community. They must align the values parents expect from their children. As study participants, parents understand that the school administration must demonstrate academic excellence. This study aims to determine the level of satisfaction with the school-based management of stakeholders in a regional science high school in Olongapo City, Philippines. The stakeholders' level of satisfaction is measured through the four (4) major areas of school-based management: leadership and governance, curriculum and instruction, accountability and continuous improvement, and management and resources. The study employed a descriptive survey research method with the help of a survey questionnaire as the primary data-gathering tool. One hundred ninety (190) stakeholders voluntarily participated and responded to the call with the help of the purposive sampling technique. The researchers developed an instrument that underwent validity and reliability evaluation. The study also used descriptive and inferential statistics to assess the gathered data. The study revealed that the stakeholders were "very satisfied" regarding curriculum and instruction, accountability and continuous improvement, and management and resources. However, only leadership and governance yielded "satisfied" stakeholder remarks. Furthermore, there were no substantial differences in the school-based management satisfaction of the stakeholders when grouped according to their profiles. Based on the results, the researchers recommended some vital suggestions at the end of the study.

Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) are small-scale electricity generation andstorage devices that are connected to the electric grid or operate independentlyfrom it. They can include renewable energy sources such as solar panels, windturbines, biogas, and batteries, as well as controllable loads such as electric vehicles, smart thermostats, and water heaters. DERs can provide various benefits to the gridand the customers who own and operate them, such as: Reducing peak demand and avoiding costly investments in transmission anddistribution infrastructure. DERs can help balance the supply and demand ofelectricity by adjusting their output or consumption according to the grid conditionsand price signals. This can reduce the need for building new power plants orupgrading existing ones, as well as lowering the losses and congestion in the powerlines.

Published: September 2023

Transfer learning and pretrained models have revolutionized the field of deep learning, enabling thedevelopment of highly accurate and efficient machine learning systems, even when faced with limiteddata and computational resources. These techniques have been pivotal in the success of variousapplications, from image recognition to natural language processing. In this article, we will delve into thefundamentals of transfer learning and pretrained models, exploring their significance and impact in theworld of artificial intelligence. The Essence of Transfer LearningAt its core, transfer learning is a machine learning technique that leverages knowledge gained from onetask to improve the performance of another related task. Think of it as the process of transferringknowledge from a source domain to a target domain. In traditional machine learning, models are trainedfrom scratch for each specific task. Transfer learning, on the other hand, takes a different approach—itcapitalizes on the idea that what a model learns from one task can be beneficially applied to a differentbut related task
Federal Agency Guidance and the Power to Bind: An Empirical Study of Agencies and Industries
Authors: Parrillo Nicholas
Published: September 2023

The typical federal agency issues a vast amount of guidance, advising the public on how it plans to exercise discretion and interpret law. Under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA), the agency must follow onerous procedures to issue full-blown regulations (including notice and comment) but can issue guidance far more easily. What justifies this difference, in the familiar telling, is that guidance is not binding in the way regulations are. Agencies are supposed to use guidance flexibly. But critics claim that agencies are not flexible—instead they follow guidance rigidly and thus pressure regulated parties to do the same. If true, this claim means agencies can issue de facto regulations simply by calling them guidance, threatening to make a dead letter of the APA’s constraints.I evaluate this claim from a qualitative empirical perspective, drawing upon interviews I conducted with 135 individuals across government, industry, and NGOs in eight different regulatory fields. I make three findings. First, the critics have a genuine basis for their claim. Regulated parties often face overwhelming pressure to follow guidance, and agencies are sometimes inflexible. Second, pressure and inflexibility, though real, are not universal. One can identify regulated parties who feel little pressure and agencies who are open-minded. The degree of pressure and inflexibility can be predicted on the basis of certain organizational and legal factors that are present in some regulatory schemes but not others. Third, even when regulated parties are strongly pressured, or when officials are inflexible, this is normally not because agency officials are engaged in a bad-faith effort to coerce the public without lawful procedures. The sources of pressure on regulated parties are mostly hard-wired into the structure of the regulatory schemes Congress has imposed and are beyond the control of agency officials who issue or administer guidance. And when agencies are inflexible in the face of a regulated party’s plea to depart from guidance, that is usually because (a) officials face competing pressures from other stakeholders to behave consistently and predictably— pressures that spring from rule-of-law values that agencies would be remiss to ignore; and (b) officials are trapped by organizational tendencies that cause rigidity, which the officials do not intend but cannot redress without costly reforms.The problem with guidance, though real, is largely an institutional problem that calls for an institutional-reform response, not a problem of bureaucratic bad faith that calls for accusation and blame.

Burhān al-Dīn al-Zarnūjī in his treatise Ta'līm al-Muta'allim Ṭorīq al-Ta'allum informed that the academic achievement has six things dependency: ingenious acumen (intelligences), fervent desire (motivation), patience (when find difficulties), sufficent sustenance (to complete learning), guidance of a teacher (through learning), and length of time (intensively). Based on this perspective, we was empirically tested students scientific literacy through correlational research. In particular, first, multiple intelligences was examined based on Multiple Intelligences Survey (MIS). Second, science learning motivation was explored used Science Motivation Questionnaire II (SMQ-II). Third, scientific literacy was tested that focused on competence domain and environmental content. The participants of the study were 128 secondary students in Kabupaten Kudus choosen by random sampling technique. We used Pearson r to elaborate relation of scientific literacy with each type of multiple intelligences nor component of science learning motivation. It reveals that naturalistic intelligence and self-efficacy has strong correlation with scientific literacy. The findings suggest that it is important to facilitate students’ intelligence and motivations to guide them on achieving scientific literacy.

Lex TVN. Przebieg debaty publicznej
Authors: Stępnik Krzysztof
Published: September 2023

“Lex TVN” is not a legal term, but a popular one referring to an amendment in 2021 of the Article of the Polish Broadcasting Act, providing for conditions of granting a broadcasting licence to a foreign owner. This, amendment conditioned the granting of the said licence to entities “whose registered office or address of residence is located in the Member State of the European Economic Area”. The Polish TV company TVN did not meet this condition, being owned by the American Discovery Holding Company (now Warner Bros. Discovery). This amendment was put through the Sejm and the Senate, and then, in December 2021, was vetoed by the President. The author presents the turbulent fate of the unsuccessful modification, evoking violent political emotions, as reflected in the Polish digital media. He emphasises the rationale of the governing party and the opposition, expressed in the statements of politicians, and in articles and comments of journalists. In the conclusion, the author characterises the polarisation of political attitudes of Poles as the audience of channels promoting the position of the government (Polish Television TVP) or the opinions of the opposition (TVN). He also discusses the problem of the politicisation of law, and the pressure effected on the national law by interests of global corporations.

Published: September 2023

The judgement of the Supreme Administrative Court referred to in the document relates to the issue of the statute of limitations of a tax liability, which is a construction of tax law. The legal question that raised serious doubts in a specific case was whether tax law is part of administrative law or constitutes a separate branch of law. The problem arose in connection with Article 15zzr(1)(3) of the COVID-19 Act. The result of the analysis confirms the thesis that the statute of limitations on tax liabilities cannot be regulated by provisions of administrative law, as tax law does not fall within the category of administrative law but constitutes a separate branch of law.
Financial Due Diligence in Increasing Company Value Through Banking Mergers and Acquisitions During COVID-19
Authors: Dwiyanti Arnika , Wondabio Ludovicus Sensi
Published: September 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic took an enormous effect on the company's ability to survive, and the most popular way to survive was through mergers and acquisitions (M&A), which in Indonesia, was triggered by the stipulation of Financial Services Authority Regulation (POJK) Number 12/POJK.03/2020 on Commercial Bank Consolidation. Thus, M&A activities in the Indonesian Banking industry increased, concerning the role of engaged auditors as practitioners who have competency in conducting financial due diligence (FDD) through critical aspects that are directly and not directly affected by pandemic conditions. This research focused on FDD process evaluation to support the aims of reducing failure of M&A by confirming the veracity of data, so it could prevent loss and create value for shareholders. To understand the practice, concurrent mixed method research was applied to the acquisition case of PT Bank Mayora (Mayora) by PT Bank Negara Indonesia Tbk (BNI) through interviews and documentation. The evaluation of this research is not only within the scope of M&A in previous research but carries the banking industry's FDD to comply with POJK during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study finds some new aspects to contribute wider points of view for auditors in conducting FDD, including technology-based FDD development of processes and procedures.
J.J.R. Macleod: His Life and Works Before and After the Toronto Insulin Years
Authors: McHardy Kenneth Charles
Published: September 2023

Abstract.

John James Rickard Macleod, while sometimes remembered as a co-discoverer of insulin, was moreover one of the world's most accomplished academic physiologists in the early 1900s. A medical graduate in Aberdeen, Scotland, he pursued a career in physiology, travelling to Leipzig and London. Precocious progress in research, teaching, and writing saw him being appointed a physiology professor in Cleveland, Ohio, at the age of 27. He gained an international reputation in carbohydrate metabolism, publishing a monograph on diabetes in 1913. A move to Toronto in 1918 soon saw him leading the team that produced the world's first clinically useful, life-saving insulin. Despite sharing a Nobel Prize, his involvement in the insulin story was mired in unjustified and persistent controversy. Returning to Aberdeen in 1928 as the head of physiology, his wide-ranging success continued until his death in 1935. This article details his life, work, and many achievements both before, and after, the Toronto insulin years.
Evaluating Water Repellancy
Authors: Beck William C. , Mandeville Donald
Published: September 2023

Eighteen years ago we called attention to the need of developing water resistant materials as bacterial barriers in the operating room setting1. Possibly as a result of that report, a new industry came into being which now supplies surgical draping to a large number of hospitals and operating units. While there has been some dispute in the literature concerning other attributes of surgical drapes which we felt were desirable, such as air permeability for the barrier2, no question has been raised concerning our basic premise that barriers be resistant to water passage. This report outlines a method of measuring this resistance.

Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the issue of short-circuit analysis in the low-voltage network of the power supply system of an industrial enterprise. The analysis methodology is based on the recommendations of the IEC 60909 standard and the ANSI/IEEE C37 series standard, which regulate the calculation of short-circuit current for the selection and verification of switchgear and protective devices according to the level of short-circuit current. The Electrical Transient Analyzer Program (ETAP) software was used as an analysis tool. Short-circuit analysis is performed in two stages: the first stages involves modelling the low-voltage distribution network of the industrial facility; the second stages involves the simulation of faults in the network. The modelling the low-voltage distribution network takes into account the features of the network configuration with inductions motors used in the technological process. The Short Circuit module of the ETAP software was used to calculate the short-circuit current on the bus of the distribution network. The performed analysis takes into account the induction motors contribution to the level of short-circuit current. The result of the analysis is the determination of symmetrical and asymmetrical short-circuit current values and the detection of inconsistency of the characteristics of the installed equipment with short-circuit currents. Analysis of short-circuit current using ETAP software provides the possibility of selecting switchgear and protective devices according to the level of short-circuit current and verify the correctness of the decisions made regarding the selection of low-voltage switchgear of the distribution network, which contributes to the design of a reliable power supply system for the facility.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a rare autoimmune disease and the most common neuromuscular junction disorder. The most common symptoms are diplopia, ptosis, and fluctuating weakness of ocular and limb muscles. Here we report a case of MG after COVID-19 vaccination. A 37-year-old Iranian lady presented with generalized weakness, diplopia, and ptosis after three days from taking the second dose of COVID-19 vaccine. Symptoms began three days after taking the second dose of Sinopharm BIBP COVID-19 vaccine (BBIBP-CorV) and worsened within a week. Her past medical history included migraine-type headaches and gastric reflux. She was consuming Rizatriptan and Nortriptyline for her migraine headache and Pantoprazole, Domperidone, and Sertraline for stomach reflux. She had a family history of Essential tremor in her father, uncle, and grandfather. Antibody against the acetylcholine receptor (AChR-Ab) was more than eight times compared to the normal range. The pattern of repetitive nerve stimulation was suggestive for MG. Treatment with corticosteroid, azathioprine, and pyridostigmin led to amelioration of symptoms. Follow-up testing revealed AChR-Ab returned to the normal range. There are some case reports in that a chronic autoimmune disorder flared up after the COVID1-9 infection or its vaccination. There are several reports of MG exacerbations, acute respiratory distress syndrome, higher ICU admission, and mortality rate and worsening neurological symptoms after COVID-19 infection. There is still debate about the association between neuromuscular disorders and COVID-19 infection and vaccination. This matter is more doubtful for myasthenia gravis.

The analytical conditions for the formation of singularities of the Jones matrix elements of birefringent networks of biological tissues are determined. The correlation between coordinate positions of characteristic points of two-dimensional elements of the Mueller matrix of an optically thin layer of biological tissue and the network of S- and C-points in its laser image is established. The effectiveness of the Mueller matrix singular diagnostics of not only oncological changes in the myometrial tissue, but also the differentiation of their severity is demonstrated.

Trends in the world market to increase the energy efficiency and environmental friendliness of traditional means of obtaining energy, such as industrial boiler units, have caused the need for widespread implementation and use of the latest means of optimal management of these objects. More than 60% of the world's energy generation occurs through the process of burning fuel. In the Ukrainian scientific space, considerable attention is paid to analytical, predictive and fuzzy regulators as means of optimal management, and the use of a newer and more promising field of computer vision, which, in connection with the high level of development of information technologies in the country, is almost not represented, is quite promising for the future development of energy efficiency technologies, including in the export market. The article examines the process of development and formation of the modern direction of using computer vision tools to optimize the process of burning different types of fuel. The path and modern trends of development are considered. Over thirty-five years of research, significantly higher speed and a fairly wide range of analytical information, which can be presented by systems of this type compared to others, were noted. Starting with relatively simple single-parameter monitoring and optimization systems, which due to their speed were able to improve the flow of transient processes and made possible the use of systems in extreme mode, thirty years ago, to complex and multi-parameter systems that perform optimization based on a set of parameters, already after twenty years of research. Computer vision systems provide a wide range of analytical information that can be used both in the process of automatic control and to determine the quality indicators of boiler unit use.

The theoretical foundations of the description of scattered coherent radiation fields using a new correlation parameter - the degree of local depolarization (DLD) - are presented. The data of measuring the coordinate distributions of the DLD of laser images of healthy and pathologically altered rat skin are presented. The values and ranges of change of statistical (moments of the 1st - 4th orders), correlation (correlation area) and fractal (slopes and variance of extremes of logarithmic dependences of power spectra) parameters of the coordinate distributions of the DLD are investigated. The objective criteria for diagnosing oncological changes in the structure of the rat skin are determined.
Görsel İllüzyonların Nörotipik ve Patolojik Algı Hakkında Öğrettikleri

Görsel illüzyonlar, daha yaygın isimleriyle göz yanılsamaları/aldanmaları, popüler anlamlarıyla gözün kanıp gerçekten olmayan bir şeyi görmesi olarak bilinirler. Bu incelemenin amacı, illüzyonların arada bir beynin gerçekleri yanlış yorumladığı durumlar olmadığını göstermektir. Bu illüzyonların sebebi ışığın yansıması veya kırılmasına, beynin retinaya gelen bilgiyi nasıl işlediğine veya görsel sistemin derinlik algılarken nasıl çalıştığına göre değişebilir ve illüzyonlar algısal süreçleri anlamamızda kritiktir. Sanatçıların ve bilim insanlarının ilgi odağı olan illüzyonlar, hem ilham veren sanat akımları yaratmış hem de insan algısını ve beynin işleyişini anlamamızda çığır açıcı olmuştur. Bu yazının başlangıcında, illüzyonlara bilimsel açıdan bakıldığında görsel algı hiyerarşisine paralel olarak çıkan sınıflar tanımlanacaktır. Sırasıyla fizyolojik (görsel algının erken aşamalarına denk gelen) işleyiş ve bilişsel (görsel algının daha ileri aşamalarına denk gelen) stratejiler hakkında bilgi veren illüzyonlara örnekler verilecek ve bunlara neden olabilecek etkenler incelenecektir. Bu anlamlandırmaların bize beyni hatta insanın doğasını anlamaya çalışırken nasıl yardımcı olduğuna dair teorik yaklaşımlara ve algısal gruplama kavramlarına değinilecektir. Daha sonra klinik çalışmalardaki bulgu ve uygulamalara örnekler verilerek illüzyonların, örneğin şizofrenide, görsel algıyı ve beyni anlamamızdaki rolü tartışılacaktır.
Tanı Bir Damgalama mı Yoksa Meşrulaştırma mı? Tıbbileştirme Söylemi ve Lacanyen Psikanalitik Teori Kapsamında Bir Tartışma

Çok sayıda araştırma, psikolojik sıkıntılar yaşayan bireylerin genellikle çevreleri tarafından çeşitli ayrımcılık, önyargı ve damgalamaya maruz kaldıklarını ve bu nedenle sorunlarını sıklıkla gizleme eğiliminde olduklarını belirtmektedir ancak bu genellemeyle uyumsuz olarak, bazı araştırmalar bireylerin özelikle bir tanı kullanma eğilimlerine dikkat çekmektedir. Bu çalışmada değişen toplumsal yapı ve söylemler ışığında psikolojik problemlerin damgalanma nedeniyle gizlenme eğiliminde olduğu genellemesine karşı çıkarak bazı öznel süreçler için tıbbi bir sistem içinde tanı almanın öznenin tanınmasının bir aracı haline dönüştüğünü ileri sürmekteyiz. Elbette bu görüşümüz, damgalanma ve önyargının konu üzerindeki etkisini yadsıdığımız anlamına gelmemektedir. Buradaki vurgumuz, bazı semptomlar ve süreçler için bu durumun aksine de işlev görebileceği yönündedir. Bu doğrultuda öncelikle damgalanma ve önyargının ruhsal sorunların gizlenmesine yol açtığı görüşlerini inceleyecek ardından bu görüşün aksini destekleyici nitelikteki kişilerin tanı kullanma gayretlerini gösteren çalışmaları ele alacağız. Sonrasında bu argümanı teorik olarak derinleştireceğiz. Foucault, Illich, Timurturkan gibi araştırmacıların eserlerinde ele aldığı tıbbın gücü ve tıbbileştirme söylemini ve ayrıca psikanalist Lacan’ın Özne'nin oluşum sürecine dair sunduğu teorisindeki ayna evresi, tanınma anı, bildiği varsayılan özne kavramlarını bu kapsamda değerlendireceğiz. Bu çalışmanın özellikle psikoterapi alanında kişilerin kendi psikolojik durumları ile nasıl ilişkilendiklerini değerlendirmek adına önemli çıkarımları bulunmaktadır.
Konflikty interesów i wartości w procesie budowalnym
Authors: Smarż Joanna
Published: September 2023

Prawo jest i powinno być związane z wartościami, które są jego podstawą. Odwołanie do wartości jest istotne również w Prawie budowlanym, w którym ustawodawca uregulował zagadnienia procesu budow­lanego.
Przedmiotem artykułu jest analiza wartości i interesów leżących u podstaw procesu budowlanego ze wskaza­niem możliwości zaistnienia konfliktów w tym zakresie, natomiast celem jest wskazanie sposobów rozwiązania tych konfliktów oraz wykazanie charakteru przepisów Prawa budowlanego w tym obszarze.
Na podstawie analizy przepisów Prawa budowlanego należy stwierdzić, że katalog wartości podlegających ochronie w procesie budowlanym jest bardzo szeroki. Za najważniejszą wartość należy uznać chęć zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa realizowanych i użytkowanych obiektów budowlanych, a w konsekwencji bezpieczeństwo ludzi i mienia. Z uwagi na fakt, iż w procesie budowlanym może dojść do kolizji tych wartości, ich ochrona wymaga ważenia ich przez organy administracji publicznej z punktu widzenia ochrony interesu jednostki i interesu pub­licznego. Pomóc ma w tym zakresie prewencyjny charakter przepisów Prawa budowlanego.
Powyższe nie wynika niestety wprost z przepisów ustawy z dnia 7 lipca 1994 r. – Prawo budowlane, lecz można to wyinterpretować z przepisów ustawy, w czym pomocna okazuje się metoda dogmatyczno-prawa oraz analiza orzecznictwa i literatury przedmiotu, na których oparte zostały rozważania nad tytułowym zagadnieniem.
