Criminological characteristics of persons who commit crimes in the sphere of security activities
Authors: Kopcha V.V.
Published: September 2024

It is indicated that the provision of an effective system of criminal legal protection of employees of security structures and the prevention of relevant criminal acts requires an investigation of the identity of the criminal.
The article examines the personal characteristics of individuals who commit crimes in the field of security activities. The study of the criminal’s personality is a fundamental aspect of criminology, without which it is difficult to explore other criminological issues, such as the determinants of crimes and methods to combat them. Existing doctrinal approaches to understanding the category of “criminal personality” are analyzed, the main elements that make up the structure of these individuals’ personalities are identified, and their socio-demographic, social-role, criminal-legal, and moral-psychological features are analyzed.
A criminological profile of individuals who commit crimes in the field of security activities has been established: these are men aged 25-50 years, local city residents with general secondary or vocational education, who are officially unemployed, abuse alcohol, and have previous administrative or criminal offenses (sometimes previously convicted).
Special attention is paid to the issues of classification and typology of such criminals. Individuals who commit crimes in the field of security activities can be classified according to the degree of stability of their antisocial orientation (situational (unstable), forced, malicious (stable), particularly dangerous types); their relationship with the victim (previously acquainted with the victim or not); motives (selfish, prestigious, vengeful types); and state of intoxication (those who were intoxicated at the time of the crime and those who were not).
The characteristic features of individuals who commit crimes in the field of security activities, as well as the types of offenders in this category, allow for the creation of an effective system of measures to prevent these crimes. However, the study of the criminological characteristics of these individuals cannot fully reveal the complexity of human behavior problems. Therefore, the issue of criminological features of individuals who commit crimes in the field of security activities requires further research.

In der Praxis sind häufig Fälle anzutreffen, in denen das zuständige Gericht die anwaltliche Vertretung während des außergerichtlichen Verfahrens im Stadium des gerichtlichen Rechtsbehelfs nicht als eine mit Anwaltsgebühren vergütbare Leistung anerkennt und den Standpunkt vertritt, dass die Partei die in dieser Angelegenheit anfallenden Kosten selbst tragen muss und nicht auf die Gegenseite abwälzen kann. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht diese Anomalien im Zusammenhang mit notariellen Nachlassverfahren und Rechtsbehelfen im Zusammenhang mit Vollstreckungsverfahren durch Gerichtsvollzieher als zivilrechtliche Außerstreitverfahren und konzentriert sich dabei auf die gerichtliche Praxis. Ziel des Autors ist es, zu untersuchen, ob die derzeitige Vorgehensweise der Justiz mit den einschlägigen geltenden Rechtsvorschriften übereinstimmt oder ob eine Fehlinterpretation des Gesetzes vorliegt.

Published: September 2024

Enchondromatosis is a rare disease which has a risk to transform into secondary chondrosarcoma. This is a 4-year-old girl presented with a one-year progressive history of her right ankle joint deformity. Plain radiograph showed bone lesion over right distal fibula. Magnetic resonance imaging suggested features of enchondroma with multiplicity lesions. Skeletal survey showed multiple enchondromas over right distal ulnar, proximal femur, pelvis and both proximal fibulas and feet. She was planned for corrective osteotomy to prevent further progression of the deformity. She has regular follow-up under paediatric orthopaedic team and primary care physician for long term monitoring and overall health care. This case demonstrates the importance of recognizing the features of non-malignant bone tumour clinically and radiologically for early detection and referral. Long term follow-up and monitoring is necessary due to the risk of malignant transformation in enchondromatosis.

Топос смерті в риториці партесних концертів
Authors: Ключинська Наталія Василівна
Published: September 2024

Партесна музика, хоча й досліджувана впродовж півстоліття, досі залишається маловідомою й мало виконуваною частиною українського культурного спадку. Різниця загальної освіти та музичної підготовки співаків того часу та сучасних музикантів відображається у трактуванні й інтерпретації цієї музики в сучасних мистецьких переосмисленнях. З появою в європейській культурі XX століття інтерпретаційного напряму історично інформованого виконавства утвердилася думка про необхідність інших методів розуміння, вивчення та дослідження музичної спадщини ранніх періодів, тобто музики, написаної до XIX століття. Відповідно до ідей історичного виконавства, у статті розглянуто спосіб трактування образів і афектів, закладених у партесній музиці, крізь призму культурних і освітніх практик XVII–XVIII століть. Цей період характеризується єдністю естетичних категорій та інструментів художньої виразовості різних видів мистецтв, музики, поезії та риторики. Партесний концерт є жанром літургійної музики, написаний на тексти стихир, тропарів та інших частин богослужіння східного обряду. Відповідно, музично-словесний аналіз ускладнюється наявністю в тексті концертів теософських роздумів і різноманітних алегоричних біблійних образів. Щоб краще зрозуміти зв’язок музичного та словесного тексту в партесних творах, спочатку вивчено риторичні способи відтворення семантичних образів, ідей і топосів української барокової поетичної творчості. Далі зіставлено лінгвістичні засоби вираження словесної образної сфери й ефект на читача чи слухача, що був метою використання різноманітних риторичних прийомів. Проаналізовано музичні відповідники словесних риторичних засобів і виявлено приклади семантично споріднених музично-риторичних фігур з іншим текстом для потрібного афекту. Отже, таке розуміння музичної мови партесної творчості зумовлює сутнісно інші виконавські завдання під час її реалізації.

Dois eventos excepcionais e opostos marcaram os idos de janeiro de 2023 em Brasília: celebração pela posse do Presidente Lula no dia 1º e o vandalismo de uma semana depois. Eles ocorreram na Esplanada dos Ministérios e na Praça dos Três Poderes, e motivaram a feitura deste artigo. No entanto, a análise inclui outros espaços da cidade, a completarem as “quatro escalas”, como passaram a ser comumente referidos os lugares-tipo do plano de Lucio Costa: além da monumental, a residencial, a gregária e a bucólica. Metodologicamente, a inspiração vem de Evaldo Coutinho; Milton Santos; Bill Hillier e Julienne Hanson; e Pierre Bourdieu. Explora-se o conceito de “capital” do último, e caracteriza-se a sua “encenação” na empiria estudada. Sugere-se como a configuração do lugar é elemento intrinsecamente constitutivo do que ali acontece, rotineira ou excepcionalmente. O artigo tem caráter mais teórico-metodológico que empírico, embora a evidência referida ilustre o argumento.

Published: September 2024

Cupping therapy is a complementary treatment option that can be administered to individuals suffering from Low Back Pain (LBP), a condition that continues to see a rise in its prevalence year after year. LBP is frequently experienced by office professionals who spend extended periods working in a seated position, which can lead to reduced productivity and a decline in overall health. The objective of this research was to assess the impact of cupping therapy on LBP among lecturers at Mandala Waluya University. This research entails a quantitative approach, employing a quasi-experimental one-group pre and post-test design. The research population comprises all lecturers at Mandala Waluya University, totaling 166 individuals, with a sample size of 30 respondents selected through purposive sampling techniques, as determined by the Lameshow formula. The study's findings indicate that 80.8% of the total sample of Mandala Waluya University lecturers between the ages of 30-40 years suffer from LBP. Through paired t-test analysis, it was established that the phi value was 0.000, which is smaller than the alpha value. Consequently, cupping therapy has the capacity to alleviate pain in LBP patients by promoting muscle relaxation and stimulating the release of beta hormones, which, in turn, reduces pain. Cupping therapy demonstrates its effectiveness in alleviating LBP and enhancing the daily functioning of lecturers at Mandala Waluya University.

Authors: LI Meng , Wang Hong yan , Najm Ahmad Abdul Kareem , Othman Babul Airianah , Law Douglas
Published: September 2024

Recurrent and prolonged heat waves during summer have significantly impacted the growth and quality of cultivated melons in China. Molybdenum (Mo), a trace element crucial for the plant’s photosynthesis process under normal planting conditions, is posited to not only improve plant stress tolerance but also enhance fruit quality and nutritional content. In this study, melon cv. ‘Japanese Sweet Treasure’ was used as the experimental material. Various concentrations of ammonium molybdate solution (0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.4 mg·L–1) were foliar sprayed to examine their impact on the growth, photosynthetic characteristics, carbohydrate metabolism, and fruit quality of melons under high-temperature stress. The results indicated that plants sprayed with Mo exhibited enhanced plant parameters, including height, stem diameter, root volume, root activity, and physiological characteristics of melons under high-temperature stress, in comparison to the control (CK). The most significant improvements were observed in plants treated with 0.1 mg·L–1 Mo (T2). This treatment also showed higher improvement in melon net photosynthetic rate (Pn), transpiration rate (Tr) and total chlorophyll relative to other treatments. It also significantly promotes carbohydrate metabolism in melon plant leaves under high-temperature stress, enhancing their antioxidant enzyme activity. Melon plants exhibit a respective increase in sucrose, soluble sugars, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and peroxidase (POD) compared to the control. Melon sprayed with 0.1 mg·L–1 Mo showed significantly higher levels of vitamin C, soluble proteins, and soluble solids in fruits compared to other treatments, with a respective increase of 27.9% in individual fruit weight and 20.1% in per-plant yield compared to the CK. In conclusion, spraying 0.1 mg·L–1 Mo effectively mitigates damage caused by high-temperature stress during melon cultivation. It enhances the photosynthetic capacity of melon leaves, promotes carbohydrate metabolism in plant leaves, and thereby strengthens stress resistance. This comprehensive improvement leads to enhanced quality and yield of melon fruits.
A Peircean transcendental framework for conceiving human and non-human culture
Authors: Hünefeldt Thomas
Published: September 2024

The semiotic realism of the American philosopher and scientist Charles S. Peirce (1839–1914) originally emerged out of a systematic critique of Kant’s transcendental philosophy. As such, it does not only offer numerous notions that can be and have been, fruitfully applied to a large variety of cultural phenomena, but it also requires rethinking and reconceiving the concept of culture itself, especially as regards its relation to the concept of nature and its anthropocentric premises and biases. Accordingly, this essay aims to explore how to reconceive culture in a Peircean transcendental framework. I first describe that framework itself, sketching how Peirce’s semiotic realism can be understood as the result of the attempt to realize Kant’s project of a transcendental philosophy more consistently than Kant himself had done. On this basis, I then explore how the relation between culture and nature, and between culture and humanity can be conceived within Peirce’s semiotic paradigm. It is suggested that the relation between culture and nature cannot be sufficiently accounted for in terms of the distinction between symbolic and non-symbolic semiosis, and that various forms of non-human culture, including non-animal and cross-species cultures, are conceivable.
Impact of river engineering on Vistula river channel morphometry near Warsaw (Poland): a 172-year perspective
Authors: Poławska Martyna , Giriat Dorota
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the impact of river engineering on the morphometry of the Vistula River channel near Warsaw, Poland, over a 172-year period. This research focuses on the examination of modifications in the Vistula channel between 1843 and 2015 that were associated with regulation, and evaluated their immediate and indirect consequences by analyzing parameters such as channel width, length, sinuosity, presence, and number of channel bars and islands. This study used historical topographic maps and contemporary aerial laser-scanning data to verify changes in the Vistula riverbed in the Warsaw region. Research has found that human-induced transformations directly affect erosion and accumulation, as well as material transport, and that changes in the river channels are most apparent in their cross-section and size of mesoforms.

Published: September 2024

Tax compliance by individuals indicates their readiness to fulfill their obligations and exercise their right to pay taxes accurately and on time, in accordance with tax legislation. This study aims to collect empirical evidence on the influence of tax knowledge, Electronic System for Motor Vehicle Tax Administration (e-SAMSAT), taxpayer awareness, and tax penalties on the compliance of motor vehicle taxpayers in Badung Regency. The research employed a non-probability accidental sampling method to select participants. To determine the sample size, the Slovin formula was applied, resulting in a total of 100 respondents. Data collection was conducted through a questionnaire, and the hypothesis was tested using multiple linear regression analysis in the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The findings reveal that tax penalties, e-SAMSAT, taxpayer awareness, and tax knowledge significantly enhance motor vehicle taxpayer compliance in the Badung Regency. This underscores the importance of these factors in promoting tax compliance and suggests that interventions aimed at improving taxpayer education and awareness, coupled with the effective implementation of e-SAMSAT and judicious application of tax penalties, can foster greater compliance with motor vehicle tax obligations.

Authors: Contreras-Velásquez Julio César , Riaño-Garzon Manuel , Arias José Alban Londoño , Hernández-Ramírez Jose , Castro Raquel Puente , Parias Carlos Hernán González
Published: September 2024

Objective: The objective of this literature review is to present the theoretical bases to describe, analyze, and interpret the factors associated with the behavior of low-income consumers.
 
Theoretical Framework: The literature review addresses the concepts of consumer behavior, the factors that influence this behavior, such as psychological, social and cultural factors, and finally the low-income consumer.
 
Method: A non-experimental design of bibliographic research allowed us to systematically review the constructs of consumer behavior, factors associated with consumption behavior, and low-income consumers. A total of 109 bibliographic references were consulted: 71 articles, 31 books, 5 research-results book chapters, and 2 reports.
 
Results and Discussion: The review found that this market segment is heterogeneous due to sociocultural differences in the contexts where they reside. For poverty to be more attractive to the business sector, it is necessary that the proposed solution be sustainable; therefore, it must be profitable. The participation of the State is also important, responsible for the inclusion of public policies that encourage companies to incorporate low-income people as micro-entrepreneurs in their business model; one proposal would be to establish dignified and flexible forms of contracting. It is recommended that business schools include within the content of their undergraduate and graduate programs consumer behavior focused on low-income people, who make up the majority of the market in developing countries, in order to raise awareness among future professionals of the importance of including this segment in marketing strategies.
 
Research Implications: The theoretical content found in the literature review will serve marketing managers to design strategies in the distribution and marketing processes that enable products to be introduced into the low-income consumer segment, as well as encouraging the scientific community from the business field to investigate this market segment.
 
Originality/Value: The bibliographic study contributes to the marketing literature with an innovative approach, by addressing the low-income consumer, an object of study that is often excluded in the business sector, considering that they do not have purchasing power, but that in emerging markets represents the majority. of the population.

Published: September 2024

Objective: The objective of this study is to characterize allergies in the riverside population of the pre-Amazon region and evaluate the associated sociodemographic, environmental, and sensitization profile. 
 
Theoretical Framework: The research is based on concepts of respiratory and dermatological allergies, as well as studies on the impacts of sociodemographic and environmental factors on the health of riverside populations. 
 
Method: The adopted methodology includes a descriptive study with 112 individuals from a riverside region in the interior of Maranhão. The study included individuals of both genders, aged over 18 years. Questionnaires were administered to investigate the presence of allergic rhinitis, asthma, and atopic dermatitis, along with a complementary socio-environmental questionnaire. The “prick test” was also performed. Statistical analyses were conducted using GraphPad Prism 8. 
 
Results and Discussion: The results showed a prevalence of 26.7% for allergic rhinitis, 7.14% for asthma, and 20.53% for atopic dermatitis, with an average age of 40 years. Protective factors for rhinitis included male gender (OR=0.39; 95% CI=0.15-0.94) and sensitization to Dermatophagoides pteronyssinus (OR=0.37; 95% CI=1-1.92) and Blatella germanica (OR=0.23; 95% CI= -2.96 to -0.30). Risk factors included dry cough (OR=2.69; 95% CI=1.08-6.78), exposure to cigarette smoke (OR=2.95; 95% CI=1.14-7.83), and mold presence (OR=2.64; 95% CI=1.13-6.23). For asthma, sharing a room was protective (OR=0.19; 95% CI=13.30-0.18), while dry cough (OR=13.42; 95% CI=1.05–4.57) and sensitization to Periplaneta americana (OR=4.52; 95% CI=0.04-3.15) were risk factors. In atopic dermatitis, exposure to dogs (OR=3.52; 95% CI=1.28-11.41) and being a smoker (OR=6.52; 95% CI=1.02-52.06) were risk factors. 
 
Research Implications: The practical implications include insights for developing public health policies aimed at riverside populations, considering the identified sociodemographic and environmental factors. 
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to characterizing the allergy profile in a riverside population, highlighting the importance of environmental and sociodemographic factors. The relevance of the research lies in its potential to influence public health practices and future investigations.

Theoretical Framework: Zika virus is an arbovirus transmitted by mosquitoes, first identified in Brazil in 2015. In severe cases, it can lead to Congenital Zika Virus Syndrome in fetuses, resulting in various neurological anomalies. Cannabidiol (CBD), found in Cannabis sativa, has emerged as a therapeutic alternative for treating symptoms, including epilepsy, but requires further clinical studies to confirm its efficacy and safety. 
 
Method: This is a literature review research, in which scientific articles on the therapeutic use of cannabidiol in children with epilepsy related to congenital Zika virus syndrome were selected. The research utilized electronic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science. Clinical studies evaluating the efficacy and safety of cannabidiol were included, while those without a control group or animal testing were excluded. 
 
Results and Discussion: The results obtained demonstrated that cannabidiol (CBD) is effective in reducing seizures in children with congenital Zika virus syndrome, improving their quality of life and motor skills. Its mechanisms of action suggest interaction with the endocannabinoid system, antioxidant action, and regulation of neurogenesis and synaptic plasticity. Studies have shown that CBD is generally safe and well-tolerated by these children. However, further research is necessary to fully understand its long-term effects and to determine the optimal dosage. Cannabidiol was shown to reduce seizures in 80% of children with congenital Zika virus syndrome, improving their quality of life and motor skills. It was well-tolerated, with no serious side effects. 
 
Research Implications: The results of this research are of great value for the health of children affected by the Zika virus. The need for more studies is evident, as the mechanisms of action of cannabidiol as a therapeutic treatment for this pathology require greater understanding. Nevertheless, it presents a promising therapeutic potential, requiring more research for better understanding and safe use. 
 
Originality/Value: This research contributes to the literature by gathering important information about the use of cannabidiol and its developments, with the aim of providing insights and assisting in the elucidation of possible further studies on the subject, thereby bringing positive impacts on public health, guiding clinical management, and contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of this affected population.

The Efficiency of Pension Funds in Nigeria from 2015 to 2022: Using the DEA Approach
Authors: EWURU, Ogechi Samuel  , Okoye, Emmanuel Ikechukwu
Published: September 2024

The rising interest in the efficiency of pension funds stems from dwindling returns and the transfer of financial risk from employer to employee under the Contributory Pension Scheme. Opportunities created by the transfer window that allows Pension contributors to move their funds from one pension fund to another in Nigeria have placed the responsibility of getting better returns from Retirement Savings Accounts in the hands of employees, thus making this research timely and useful. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) was used to ascertain the relative efficiency of 18 pension funds from 2015 to 2022. Drawn from a population of 19 based on data availability, Beginning Fund Balance, Total Expenses, and Number of RSAs were used as inputs, while Year end Fund Balance and Returns on Investment (ROI) measured by the annual percentage increase in the unit price of each fund as managed by individual pension funds represented outputs. Findings indicate that only three Pension Funds obtained efficiency scores of 1, and the remaining 15 pension funds had efficiency scores ranging from 0.99 to 0.89. This is an indication that they operated at various levels of inefficiency. It was recommended that these pension funds outside the efficiency frontier emulate the efficient fund managers, especially in improving their ratio of contribution to the number of active RSAs. Consequently, the ongoing wave of mergers and acquisitions in the Pension industry could offer an opportunity for discerning PFAs to improve efficiency via cost reduction gains associated with consolidation.

Published: September 2024

The study aimed to elucidate the relationship between e-procurement and supply chain performance, offering an empirically grounded framework. It focused on assessing e-procurement's impact on supply chain performance in Kenya's level six hospitals, specifically analyzing the effects of e-tendering, e-invoicing, and e-payment within these institutions. The theoretical framework was based on Rogers’ diffusion of innovation theory, transaction cost economics theory, and dynamic capability theory. A descriptive research design was employed, targeting 143 employees from the finance and procurement departments of Kenyatta National Hospital. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed with SPSS version 26, employing both descriptive and inferential statistics to derive findings and conclusions regarding the study variables. The results indicated that e-tendering (β= 0.328; t= 4.739; p= 0.000), e-invoicing (β= 0.239; t= 2.005; p= 0.000), and e-payment (β= 0.416; t= 1.901; p= 0.02) had a statistically significant positive impact on supply chain performance. With an overall p-value of 0.000 and an adjusted coefficient of determination of 75.6%, the study confirmed that e-procurement significantly affects supply chain performance in level six hospitals. The findings conclude that e-procurement practices positively and significantly enhance the supply chain performance of level six hospitals in Kenya. The study recommends broadly adopting e-procurement practices, including e-tendering, supplier assessment, e-invoicing, and e-payments, to enhance supply chain performance in Kenya's level six hospitals. Further research is suggested on the impact of e-procurement on supply chain performance in other government institutions, such as public universities.
