Betel vine is an important money crop in some locali- ties and it occupies an area of about 23,800 acres in this Presidency. About 8% of this area is accounted for by Coimbatore District. It is a very delicate crop and requires an enormous amount of care and tending. This is possibly the reason for the comparatively small percentage of the area under the crop. Without being one of the necessities of life betel leaf is all the same an essential and inevitable. factor in the social and religious fabric of Indian life.

It is the business of the Agricultural Chemist to study the several factors that contribute to the harmonious work- ing of this system, ascertain how the one influences the other and to devise ways and means of correcting any abnormality and finally reduce his findings to a simple formula so that the cultivator can profitably work it with the means at his disposal.
SOME OBSERVATIONS ON VARIETAL RESISTANCE TO RUST OF COFFEE
Authors:   Tamil Nadu Agricultural University Coimbatore  641 003 Tamilnadu, K.M THOMAS
Published: August 2023

The Rust of Coffee caused by the fungus Hemileia vastatrix is the most important among Coffee diseases and is known to cause heavy losses to the crop in almost all the Coffee- growing countries of the world. The fungus has been responsible for the abandonment of several thousands of acres of Coffee in South India and Ceylon, and this fact alone has gained for it classic importance in Mycological literature. Of recent years, the Coffee industry in Java has been saved from ruin by the introduction of resistant species and varieties which are gradually replacing the susceptible ones. In India, as in other countries, there is an ever-growing demand among Coffee growers for resis- tant varieties and strains which combine in them such qualities as good setting of blossom, a high out-turn of parchment, and a bean of good flavour.

Authors: Msokera Chifundo , Jumbam Desmond T. , Nthalika Ibrahim , Corner Meredith , Gaie Ernest , Ayala Ruben , Chokotho Tilinde , Kanmounye Ulrick Sidney , Mhango Desiree
Published: August 2023

Background

Power asymmetries between global health actors based in low and middle-income countries (LMICs) and those based in High-Income Countries persist. Often actors in low-resource settings are seen solely as implementers of projects designed in High-Income Countries and are often not involved in the decision-making. To tackle the problem of power imbalances, a human-centered framework of design thinking was used for inclusive strategy development. This paper discusses how design thinking was used as a framework for the co-creation of Operation Smile Malawi’s (OSM) long-term strategy in a collaborative environment with in-country and international partners.

Methods

The strategic planning process included a situation analysis, priority setting workshop and participant feedback. A four-question design thinking framework was used to frame the three-day priority setting sessions; ‘what is’, ‘what if’, ‘what wows’, and ‘what works’. Design thinking tools that were used during the priority setting workshop included; visualization, journey mapping, mind mapping, brainstorming and concept development. At the end of the priority-setting sessions, an e-survey was used to assess the participants’ understanding and perception of the use of design thinking for strategic planning.

Results

The product of the process was a long-term strategy with goals, activities and strategies that were understood and agreed upon by all stakeholders. The post-workshop e-survey revealed that all participants responded that the design thinking process fostered team spirit during the entire process. The design thinking process also made the strategic planning workshop more productive and enabled participants to incorporate their own ideas into the five-year strategy. Furthermore, participants reported learning something outside their area of expertise.

Conclusions

As global health organizations increasingly recognize the need for equitable partnerships in the design and implementation of global health programs, the human-centred approach of design thinking can be used to create open and collaborative program design.
Work commitment among teachers: The roles of compensation and performance appraisal in Ikenne Local Government, Ogun State
Authors: Ngozi Caroline Uwannah  , Unyime Nse Frank
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study was to examine the potential influence of compensation and performance appraisal on work commitment among teachers in Ikenne, Ogun state. Descriptive research design was adopted and the sample size of one hundred and forty-one (141) teachers from five (5) secondary schools in the area of study were selected through total enumeration technique. Three validated instruments namely Work Commitment scale, Compensation scale and Performance appraisal scale with reliability coefficient of 0.53, 0.898 and 0.788 respectively were adopted and used for data collection. One research question was analyzed using descriptive statistics while four hypotheses postulated were tested at 0.05 level of significance using multiple regression analysis. The finding of this study revealed significant combined influence of compensation and performance appraisal on teachers work commitment (F (2,138) = 59.855, P < .05). It further revealed that compensation and performance appraisal jointly accounted for about 46% of variance in teachers work commitment (Adj. R2= .457). A significant relative influence of the independent variables on work commitment was also discovered while findings also show that monetary compensation is the package mostly available to teachers. Based on the findings, it was concluded that teachers should be compensated for their hard work as it makes them more committed to their work. It was recommended that that school administrators should administer performance appraisals to ensure teachers are more productive in their work. Compensations such as promotions, monetary rewards and awards should be based on the results of these performance appraisals so as to ensure commitment of the teachers.

Synthesis of Arts as a Method of Artistic Perception Development: A Practical Aspect
Authors: Minasyan Natalya Grigoryevna
Published: August 2023

The aim of the research is to substantiate that the synthesis of art forms enriches and deepens the cognitive, educational and developmental possibilities of art in the process of studying works of art. The paper identifies the specific characteristics of music lessons and the role of perception as a psychological aspect in the artistic and formative process; presents the fundamental aspects in the organisation of perception of works of art in music lessons; considers individual methods that satisfy the needs for emotional contact and fantasising, interest and the novelty effect, which leads to the mobilisation of creative efforts in music lessons. The scientific novelty of the research lies in proving that the artistic and formative process is based on the synthesis of the notions of “an emotion-idea” / “an idea-emotion”. As a result of the research, the poly-artistic methods of perception of works of various art forms have been developed and put into practice: voicing works of painting, sculpture, architecture on the basis of a common emotion-idea; combining works of different art forms on the basis of stylistic similarities; comprehending the depth of understanding an artistic image.

Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda Batılılaşma hareketliliğinin XVII.- XVIII. Yüzyıllarda başladığı kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, siyasi, askeri, ekonomik, sağlık, eğitim-öğretim vb. birçok alanda değişim arayan topraklarda dünyaya gelen Şânizâde’nin hayatını tanıtmaktır. Bu çalışmada, Şânizâde’nin tıp ile ilgili çalışmalarını ve özellikle anatomi sahası içindeki eser ve çevirileri üzerinde durulacaktır. Şânizâde’nin, “Hamse-i Şânizâde” ya da “Kânûn-ı Şânîzâde” olarak adlandırılan ve yapıtları içinde en önemlisi olarak atfedilen eseri, bu topraklarda modern tıbbın temellerinin atılmasında büyük pay sahibi olmuştur. Beş cilt olarak hazırlanan eserin birinci cildi, modern anlamda hazırlanmış ilk anatomi kitabı Mir’atü’l Ebdân Fi Teşrih-i A’za’i’l-i İnsan’dır. Bu kitabın Batı tıp otoriteleri tarafından da ilgiyle karşılanması ve takip edilmesinin sebebi Osmanlı coğrafyasındaki klasik Osmanlı tıp anlayışından modern tıbba geçişin öncüsünü oluşturan bir yapıt olmasından kaynaklanmaktadır.

This research paper proposes the development of an IoT-based monitoring system using a robot camera for mushroom cultivation in Sri Lanka. The system aims to address several sub-objectives, including harvest time prediction, disease detection, quality assurance, and environmental monitoring. The research utilizes image processing and machine learning techniques to capture mushroom images, analyze their size, shape, morphology, and color, and predict the optimal harvest time. It also focuses on identifying common diseases, researching their early symptoms, and recommending appropriate treatment options. The system incorporates user-friendly mobile interfaces for farmers to provide input on mushroom quality and receive alerts. Moreover, it establishes quality standards, defines criteria and thresholds, and uses machine learning algorithms to train a model for quality assessment. The research introduces an IoT device that integrates environmental sensors to optimize crop growth by analyzing real-time sensor data and recommending corrective actions. The novelties include the use of robotic camera and machine learning for feature detection, personalized disease recommendations based on individual mushroom conditions, promotion of sustainable farming practices, ui-based quality assurance score, and prioritization of corrective actions based on severity and impact. The proposed system aims to improve accuracy, increase product value, enhance profitability, and promote environmentally friendly agriculture.

To develop the theory of aggregation operators based on the Aczel-Alsina t-norm and t-conorm is a very challenging task for individuals, where the idea of Aczel-Alsina norms is the modified version of the algebraic norms. The main theme of this manuscript is to evaluate the Aczel-Alsina operational laws and Aczel-Alsina aggregation operators for complex single-valued neutrosophic (CSVN) information such as CSVN Aczel-Alsina weighted averaging (CSVNAAWA), CSVN Aczel-Alsina ordered weighted averaging (CSVNAAOWA), CSVN Aczel-Alsina hybrid averaging (CSVNAAHA), CSVN Aczel-Alsina weighted geometric (CSVNAAWG), CSVN Aczel-Alsina ordered weighted geometric (CSVNAAOWG), CSVN Aczel-Alsina hybrid geometric (CSVNAAHG) operators, idempotency, monotonicity, and boundedness. Additionally, in the presence of the above-derived operators, we illustrated a model of the MADM “multi-attribute decision-making” procedure for CSVN values. Finally, we employed various numerical examples to demonstrate the supremacy and efficiency of the discovered theory to compare it with various prevailing operators.

The grading of diabetic patients within the Brazilian MultilabelOphthalmological Dataset was performed using this diabetic retinopathy(DR) grading protocol developed to align with established DR classifications.DR, a prevalent complication of diabetes, is a leading causeof blindness among working-age adults. Early diagnosis and interventionare crucial for preventing vision loss. Various classification systems, includingthe ICDR and the Scottish Diabetic Retinopathy Classificationscheme, contribute to the classification landscape. This protocol aimedto create a specialized dataset for training and evaluating supervisedartificial intelligence algorithms using retinal fundus photos. The delineationof key retinal findings assumes paramount importance in diagnosis,encompassing microaneurysms, retinal hemorrhages, hard exudates,intraretinal microvascular abnormalities, venous beading, new vessels atthe disc, new vessels elsewhere, fibrous proliferation, pre-retinal and vitreoushemorrhages, and photocoagulation scars.
Pan & Carpenter (2023) Prequestioning and Pretesting Effects: A Review of Empirical Research, Theoretical Perspectives, and Applications
Authors: Pan Steven C. , Carpenter Shana
Published: August 2023

Testing students on information that they do not know might seem like a fruitless endeavor. After all, why give anyone a test that they are guaranteed to fail because they have not yet learned the material? Remarkably, a growing body of research indicates that such testing—formally known as prequestioning or pretesting—can benefit learning if there is an opportunity to study the correct answers afterwards. This prequestioning effect or pretesting effect has been successfully demonstrated with a variety of learning materials, in various settings, despite many erroneous responses being generated on initial tests, and in conjunction with text materials, videos, lectures, and/or correct answer feedback. In this review, we summarize the emerging evidence for prequestioning and pretesting effects on memory and transfer of learning. Uses of pre-instruction testing in the classroom, theoretical explanations, metacognitive factors, and other considerations are addressed. The evidence to date indicates that prequestioning and pretesting can often enhance learning, but the extent of that enhancement may vary due to differences in procedure or how learning is assessed. The underlying cognitive mechanisms, which can be represented by a three-stage framework, appear to involve test-induced changes in subsequent learning behaviors and possibly other processes. Further research is needed to clarify moderating factors, theoretical issues, and best practices for educational applications.
Predicting the onset of mental health problems in adolescents
Authors: HOU JIANGYUN , van Wingen Guido , van de Mortel Laurens , Popma Arne , Smit Dirk
Published: August 2023

Mental health problems are the major cause of disability amongst adolescents. The factors underlying their development remain unclear. We used machine learning to predict the onset of once clinically relevant mental health problems in children using a combination of demographic, symptom and neuroimaging data. The results show that subclinical symptoms at 9-10 years of age can accurately predict the development of different mental health problems before the age of 12 in two large samples. Moreover, symptoms can differentiate between the development of externalizing or internalizing problems. In contrast, the unique predictive value of neuroimaging data was limited. These results suggest that predictive models can enable the personalization of preventative interventions for children at increased risk, which may help to reduce the incidence of mental health problems.

Published: August 2023

Purpose of Review. Over the last decade, evidence suggests that a combination of behavioral and neuroimaging findings can help illuminate changes in functional dysconnectivity in schizophrenia. We review the recent connectivity literature considering several vital models, considering connectivity findings and relationships with clinical symptoms.Methods. We reviewed resting state fMRI studies from 2017-2023. We summarized the role of two sets of brain networks (cerebello-thalamo-cortical (CTCC) and the triple network set) across three hypothesized models of schizophrenia etiology (neurodevelopmental, vulnerability-stress, and neurotransmitter hypotheses).Recent Findings. The neurotransmitter and neurodevelopmental models best explained CTCC-subcortical dysfunction, which was consistently connected to symptom severity and motor symptoms. Triple network dysconnectivity was linked to deficits in executive functioning, and the salience network (SN) – Default Mode Network dysconnectivity was tied to disordered thought and attentional deficits.Summary. This paper links behavioral symptoms of schizophrenia (symptom severity, motor, executive functioning, and attentional deficits) to various hypothesized mechanisms.
New methods, persistent issues, and one solution: Gene-environment interaction studies of childhood cognitive development.
Authors: von Stumm Sophie , Nancarrow Alexandra Failor
Published: August 2023

Children’s differences in cognitive development stem from the complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Identifying gene-environment interactions in cognitive development is key for effectively targeting interventions that improve children’s life chances. The advent of polygenic scores, which aggregate DNA variants to index a person’s genetic propensities for phenotypic development, has created unprecedented opportunities for pinpointing gene-environment interactions. Yet, the issue of statistical power -- the probability of detecting a true effect – prevails, and no replicable gene-environment interactions in child cognitive development have been reported. The solution is simple and daunting at the same time: Gathering larger samples will be the key to ushering a new era of replicable gene-environment interaction findings.
Variation of non-professional estimates of sex and age on the bones of the skeleton: results of testing participants in the search movement
Authors:   Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (the Kunstkamera) of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Shirobokov Ivan
Published: August 2023

Participants of the search movement in Russia theoretically should possess basic knowledge about the anatomy of the human skeleton, as well as age and sex-related bone variability. In practice, the knowledge of searchers in this field depends solely on their personal interest in studying the subject. The results of testing, which examined the ability of searchers to use graphic schemes for determining sex and age, were quite low. The ratings are characterized not only by extreme variability but often poorly correlate with the proposed analysis schemes. More experienced searchers were generally more accurate in their evaluations. This circumstance is probably more related to their greater concentration on the task than to real positive experience of comparing skeletal characteristics and a person’s passport age. Undoubtedly, the unsatisfactory results are partly explained by the conditions of the test — the mass gathering of a large number of people, background noise in the hall, and time constraints of the event. Overall, the testing proved to be eloquent evidence of the low effectiveness of group classes devoted to anthropological techniques for individuals not specializing in anthropology.
The Stone Age Sannikov Land: human dimensions

Published: August 2023

The New Siberian Islands are one of the most remote and hardly accessible regions of the Russian Arctic. Due to that, their discovery and initial study took about 300 years. For dozens of thousand years during the Late Pleistocene, this area was a part of drained arctic shelf, a part of which still existed around 9000 years ago. In certain sense, it was the Sannikov Land of the Stone Age. In 1914, the Zhokhov Island became the last one to be discovered out of large islands of the archipelago. Fifty years afterwards, archaeological material was found on it. The Zhokhov site, studied in 1989–1990 and 2000–2005, is one of the northernmost archaeological sites in the world. Human activity at the Zhokhov site falls within the interval 8300–7750 14C years ago, with the most intense occupation spanning 8050–7900 14C BP, that is, roughly CA 9000 calendar years ago. Excavations yielded a unique collection that includes lithic material presenting microprismatic technology, polished stone tools, a variety of artefacts made of non-durable materials (diverse osseous material and wood), including hunting equipment, home utensils, basketry and birch bark products, as well as sled parts. Excavations yielded a large number of animal bone remains, almost exclusively belonging to the reindeer and polar bear. It is shown that in the reconstructed annual economic cycle of the Zhokhov dwellers in winter, the most important role was played by polar bear hunting. Mass procurement of this dangerous animal for food is a unique hunting specialization, while mass accumulation of his bone remains can not be taken as an evidence for the bear cult. It is shown, that the Zhokhov hunters widely used dog sleds and thus the land transportation system was the most important innovation of the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary. The Zhokhov site environments of 9000 years ago were quite comfortable for the Arctic regions. Open landscapes were the most important feature of their habitat providing unlimited opportunities for traveling across the region, especially in winter and spring and thus provided conditions for effective movement of people goods, and genes including long-distance transport.
Unknown drawings of archaeological objects from the collection of D.G. Messerschmidt in the engravings of the «Atlas» by N.G. Le Clerc

Published: August 2023

The article analyzes 4 engravings with two tables on each print from the so-called “Atlas” by N. G. Le Сlerc with drawings of archaeological objects from the documentary heritage of D.G. Messerschmidt, which have been considered unknown so far. “Atlas” is an appendix to the work of N. G. Le Clerc “Histoire physique, morale, civile et politique de la Russie modern”. Based on a comparison of one of the survived drawings with an engraving from the “Atlas”, and a comparison with of descriptions of the drawings given in the manuscript of D.G. Messerschmidt with those in the engraved tables in the third volume of Le Clerc’s book “Histoire… de la Russie modern” it can be argued that the engraved drawings belonged to one of the volumes of the archival collection of D.G. Messerschmidt. A comprehensive study of this visual source in combination with already known drawings, and other sources (“The Painted Museum of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences”, published and handwritten catalogs of the Kunstkamera) will allow us to give a scientific description of the archaeological collection, determine its place in the collection of the Kunstkamera, which is important for the history of archeology and history of the Kunstkamera of the 18th century, when the base of scientific knowledge was being formed.

Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) Regional Office 12-National Stock Assessment Program (NSAP) covered six sampling stations around Liguasan Marsh to conduct a stock assessment on the freshwater fishes landed in Bagoinged, Datu Mantil, Malingao, Matilac, Ponol, and Tombras in North Cotabato, Philippines. The study was conducted from 2015 to 2017. Results of the study showed that Channa striata, Cyprinus carpio, Labeo rohita, and Oreochromis niloticus were the most common freshwater species caught by the fishing gears operating in Liguasan Marsh. A total of 13 species were found during the study; ten were introduced and three were native. Data analysis using length frequency data of the dominant freshwater species in Liguasan Marsh was found to be alarming. Froese and Lbar performance indicators were already breaching the limit reference points. In addition, exploitation rates were observed to be above the limit of 0.6, and the distribution of the length sizes of the dominant fishes caught showed excessive capture of immature sizes. Therefore, the study recommends continuing stock assessment activity and conducting further studies in Liguasan Marsh to investigate further the stock status of the fisheries in Liguasan Marsh, North Cotabato.

Spiny lobsters are an important resource of the artisanal fishery in Eastern Visayas, Philippines. It has long been harvested and contributes to the region's local economy. Despite being a high-value species, the spiny lobster resource has not been monitored and regulated for decades. This study aimed to assess the spiny lobsters in Eastern Visayas and provide recent information to support local resource management. Spiny lobsters were assessed from 2018 to 2019 in four major sampling areas in Eastern Visayas: (1) Guiuan and (2) San Policarpo in Eastern Samar province, (3) San Jose in Northern Samar, and (4) Silago-Hinunangan in Southern Leyte. Species composition, relative abundance, geographical and seasonality distribution, and size structure of spiny lobster resource in the region were described. Six species and subspecies of the genus Panulirus were observed in the catch landings: P. penicillatus (65%), P. ornatus (18%), P. versicolor (2.8%), P. femoristriga (5.3%), P. longipes longipes (6.1%), and P. longipes bispinosus (1.7%). Incidental catches (1.3%) of the ambiguous forms of P. longipes were also observed. P. penicillatus were more prevalent in areas exposed to the Pacific, such as Guiuan and San Policarpo, while adult P. ornatus were chiefly harvested in Northern Samar and Southern Leyte. The other lobster species were either occasional or rare in some areas. Calmer waters and good weather during dry months in Eastern Visayas allow fishers to sail and gather lobsters. The surge in the abundance of P. ornatus and P. penicillatus from July to December was also affected by market demand. Panulirus femoristriga, P. versicolor, and P. longipes subspecies generally peaked from April to June in Eastern Samar and July to September in Northern Samar and Southern Leyte areas. These species would decline in abundance towards the end of the year. The general size structure of spiny lobster catches in Eastern Visayas revealed extreme harvesting of juveniles and sub-adults (< 77.5 mm CL), except for P. ornatus. The fishery could be on the verge of growth overfishing since 50-90% of the catch have CL below their size at first maturity. Panulirus ornatus is targeted at larger sizes (96–107 mm CL) and as a live catch due to its high value and marketability. Raising awareness of the species, reinforcing existing regulations on minimum size limits, and prohibiting the use of compressor diving as a hazardous collection method should be prioritized by fishery managers to protect both the spiny lobster resource and the gatherers in Eastern Visayas.

Statystyki potwierdzają, że samobójstwa (ok. miliona rocznie) oraz próby samobójcze (kilkanaście milionów rocznie) stanowią nie tylko poważny problem społeczny, ale również prawny. Z formalnego punktu widzenia każdy ma prawo odebrać sobie życie - będzie to jego osobista decyzja i żaden akt prawny ani żadna władza nie może mu tego zabronić. Zatem z punktu widzenia prawa do wolności, będącego jednym z podstawowych praw człowieka, każdy człowiek ma pełną wolność do podjęcia decyzji o czasie zakończenia własnego życia. Prawo to nie pozostaje w sprzeczności z prawem do życia, bowiem prawo do życia nie oznacza obowiązku kontynuowania życia. Czy zatem człowiek ma prawo do samobójstwa? Niniejsza publikacja stanowi próbę odpowiedzi na tak postawione pytanie i jest podzielona na cztery odrębne części. Pierwsza część artykułu w sposób syntetyczny przybliża zagadnienie epidemiologii samobójstw w Polsce i na świecie. Dalej autor analizuje pojęcie samobójstwa, próby samobójczej, targnięcia się i zamachu na własne życie na gruncie prawa. Analizuje zjawisko w kontekście prawnym, koncentrując się na czynnikach społecznych, które w największym stopniu skłaniają do targnięcia się na własne życie. W kolejnej części zaprezentowano poglądy, które funkcjonują w prawie polskim i międzynarodowym oraz mogą przemawiać za istnieniem prawa do samobójstwa. Uwzględniono również te racje i argumenty, które mogą prowadzić do wniosków przeciwnych. Ostatnia część opracowania dotyczy konsekwencji prawnych nieudanej próby samobójczej. Zagadnieniom związanym z targnięciem się na własne życie nie poświęcono wiele uwagi w polskim i międzynarodowym ustawodawstwie. Terminy, takie jak samobójstwo, targnięcie się na własne życie i zamach samobójczy, nie mają nawet własnych definicji prawnych. Stąd też niniejsze opracowanie podejmuje problematykę samobójstwa w świetle legislacji.

The antimicrobial activity of the leaves was also examined against gram negative bacteria (Klebsiella pneumonia) and one-gram positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis) by disc diffusion antibiotic sensitivity testing method. Water, ethanol, chloroform and acetone were used to prepare the extract from fresh and dry leaves. The Aloe barbadensis shows the maximum inhibition zone in acetone and ethanol extracts against gram positive bacteria (Bacillus subtilis). The Aloe barbadensis shows the maximum inhibition zone in chloroform extract and acetone extract of dry leaf against gram negative bacteria (Klebsiella pneumonia). In a nutshell, this study reveals the different phytochemicals present and antibacterial properties of different leaf extracts of Aloe barbadensis from Darjeeling Himalayas
ЗАХИСТ ПЕРСОНАЛЬНИХ ДАНИХ У ПЕРІОД ДІЇ В УКРАЇНІ ПРАВОВОГО РЕЖИМУ ВОЄННОГО СТАНУ: ЗАГАЛЬНОТЕОРЕТИЧНІ АСПЕКТИ
Authors: Худолєй Я.Г. , Загребельна Н.А.
Published: August 2023

У статті проаналізовано сучасний стан та напрями розвитку захисту персональних даних в Україні в умовах воєнного стану. Це актуальна проблема сучасного періоду, оскільки країна не лише знаходиться в умовах активних воєнних дій, але й займається захистом прав своїх громадян на різних рівнях – інформаційному та державному. 
Потреби сьогодення в захисті громадян та їх законного права на недоторканість персональних даних є наріжним каменем для будь-якої цивілізованої, правової і демократичної країни. Через дію воєнного стану деструктивний вплив на захист персональних даних від знищення, втрати чи несанкційованої обробки постійно зростає, що додає важливості та обґрунтованості в подальшому дослідженні цього питання.  
У статті визначено той факт, що, попри широкомасштабні бойові дії на фронті й те, що відбувається в тилу, права громадян на життя, свободу, гідність та недоторканість є основоположними в нашій країні. Вони повинні бути такими, які беззаперечно й безумовно дотримано всіма суб’єктами правовідносин, починаючи від державних органів чи військових структур і закінчуючи самими громадянами. Бо саме це є одним з головних критеріїв, що дозволять нам швидше інтегруватися до стандартів ЄС та НАТО й привести у відповідність загальнодержавну систему захисту персональних даних до сучасних вимог. 
Стаття спрямована на розгляд та розкриття основних питань, пов’язаних з правовими аспектами захисту персональних даних під час воєнного стану, включаючи визначення обмежень прав і свобод людини, повноважень щодо обробки персональних даних, передачі даних, особистого захисту та захисту громадян від кіберзлочинів. Дослідження націлене на заповнення наукових прогалин у розкритті даної проблеми і надання теоретичного аналізу, що допоможе розширити розуміння та практичні рекомендації щодо захисту персональних даних під час дії воєнного стану в Україні. 
Також авторами зазначено, що реалії воєнного стану потребують обмеження прав і свобод у межах та у спосіб, які визначено чинним законодавством в інтересах національної безпеки, добробуту, прав людини й громадянина.
Pendugaan laju respirasi pisang barangan menggunakan model arrhenius
Authors: Rahman Arief Fazlul , Faisal Muhammad
Published: August 2023

The respiration process cannot be separated from horticultural products after harvest. So we need a method to determine the rate of respiration (CO2 production), one of which is the Arrhenius model. The purpose of this study was to predict the CO2 production rate of Barangan bananas using the Arrhenius model. CO2 production of Barangan bananas with different harvesting ages (10 and 11) weeks was measured using the Continuous Gas Analyzer IRA-107 Shimadzu where the banana samples were placed in a respiration chamber, refrigerator for low temperature storage. The measured respiration rate data was then estimated using the Arrhenius model. When the storage temperature increases, the rate of CO2 production will increase. At the harvest age of 11 and 10 weeks the higher the storage temperature, the CO2 production rate will increase. The relationship between CO2 production rate and storage temperature can be solved using the Arrhenius model. The results of the prediction of the Arrhenius model found a coefficient of determination of 0.91-0.94. The k values of 10 weeks of harvest (0.1, 0.24, 0.36) and k of 11 weeks of harvest (0.19, 0.31, 0.49) were calculated using the equation obtained using the Arrhenius model. Value of Ea harvested 33.76 kJ/mol at 10 weeks and 45.83 kJ/mol at 11 weeks. The respiration rate produced at 10 and 11 weeks was different, where the CO2 production rate at 11 weeks at harvest was 77.98 ml/kg.hour with predicted results of 75.76 mm/kg.hour and at 10 weeks at harvest 65.80 ml/kg.hour with a predicted result of 68.21 ml/kg.hour. The results of the Arheniuss model can be used to estimate the CO2 production rate of Barangan bananas during storage

Published: August 2023

This study focuses on intensifying biogas production through anaerobic digestion of press mud with the addition of synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles at various doses (30 milligrams per liter, 60 milligrams per liter, 90 milligrams per liter, and 120 milligrams per liter) at 38C in a laboratory-scale. The characterization of iron oxide nanoparticles was done using X-ray Diffraction and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Results revealed that the peak of biogas production reached 245 ml in the digester containing press mud with 90 mg/L of iron oxide nanoparticles. The kinetic modeling reveals that the modified Gompertz model and modified Logistic models fit excellently with the experimental curve of cumulative biogas production, with correlation coefficient (R2) values ranging from 0.9969 to 0.9986 and from 0.9987 to 0.9995, respectively
