Published: November 2024

Abstract: One of the most effective techniques in condition monitoring is vibration analysis. This paper presents a
comprehensive approach to bearing fault detection using vibration analysis, leveraging advanced signal processing techniques.
The study focuses on three primary algorithms: Gaussian Filter Bank, Welch's Periodogram, and Thomson’s Multitaper
Periodogram. Each algorithm's efficacy is evaluated in terms of its ability to identify and isolate characteristic fault frequencies
in bearing vibration signals. The Gaussian Filter Bank is employed for its superiorfrequency resolution and adaptability to nonstationary signals. Welch's Periodogram is utilized for its robust performance in estimating power spectral density with reduced
noise variance. Thomson’s Multitaper Periodogram is chosen for its enhanced spectral estimation capabilities and reduced
spectral leakage. Experimental results demonstrate that these algorithms, when applied to vibration data, can effectively detect
and diagnose various types of bearing faults, offering significant improvements in predictive maintenance strategies.
Sobre capital e arquitetura: o capital arquitetônico na constituição da sociedade
Authors: Kronenberger Bruna da Cunha , Holanda Frederico Rosa Borges de
Published: November 2024

Pensar na sociedade e nos diversos ativos dos quais dispomos e pelos quais nos inserimos nela significa compreender as diversas dimensões que a constituem. Para Pierre Bourdieu, carece entender os vários tipos de capital (recursos, meios e capacidades) que mobilizamos para atender nossas necessidades e que caracterizam quem somos. Ao incluirmos a arquitetura na constituição da sociedade, com base na Teoria da Sintaxe Espacial, defendemos que a forma como nos organizamos – corpos no espaço e no tempo – e a forma como organizamos os lugares constituem uma macroestrutura social, na qual se insere o capital arquitetônico, que é a capacidade do sujeito de mobilizar a arquitetura para seus fins. Esse capital implica possibilidades ou restrições em relação à maneira como estamos nos lugares e nos movemos neles e às condições de visibilidade do outro; ele é composto pelo capital espacial e pelo capital edilício, o primeiro referente aos espaços abertos, de acesso irrestrito, e o segundo, aos espaços fechados, de acesso restrito. Este artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar o arcabouço teórico utilizado para a construção do conceito de capital arquitetônico.

Published: November 2024

In the context of the general digital transformation, the models of digital participation and citizen engagement are of not only applied, but also scientific interest. Digital participation as a phenomenon of modern society has become the subject of scientific analysis by representatives of various schools and trends. Today, it is the subject of interdisciplinary and international research, but in the context of sociological knowledge, the definition of theoretical and methodological foundations for its study, the definition of its substantive characteristics has heuristic potential.
The purpose of the article is to identify the key features of digital participation as a type of communicative behavior in a hybrid reality, to characterize its essence and conditions for development.
Methods and methodology. The conclusions and provisions of the article are based on the results of international and all-Russian studies. The approaches of M. Castells, J. Habermas, G. Lasswell, A.V. Tikhonov, V.S. Bogdanov, L.A. Vasilenko, N.N. Meshcheryakova, participatory theories were used as a theoretical and methodological basis.
Results. The article analyzes modern theoretical approaches to digital participation, revealing the multidisciplinary nature of the phenomenon research. It is determined that the sociological approach to the study of digital participation requires a polyparadigmatic basis for the analysis of the essential changes in digitalization associated with the "modeling of hybrid infosocial systems". The author's definition of digital participation as a type of communicative behavior in the digital space is proposed. Digital participation has a subject-to-subject nature and manifests itself as digital participation, digital involvement and digital influence on the process of making and implementing management decisions. The essential characteristics of digital participation as a subject-to-subject form of communicative behavior in a hybrid reality are highlighted: mobility, efficiency, democracy, interactivity, emotionality. The key conditions for the development of digital participation are outlined: comprehensive accessibility and digital literacy.
Conclusion. The development and constructive nature of digital participation as constructive communicative behavior in hybrid reality are provided by multidimensional communicative and information technologies of digital participation and involvement. The obtained conclusions and provisions lay the foundation for the development of an operational model of digital participation as a type of communicative behavior in the conditions of hybrid reality.

The purpose of the study was to analyze the military-political potential of the states of the Middle East subsystem of international relations. To achieve this purpose, five tasks were set. First, to formulate initial hypotheses for assessing the regional balance of power. Second, to determine the characteristic features of the Middle East subsystem in modern international relations. Third, to conduct a comparative analysis of the military power of the Middle East states. Fourth, to study the Middle East security systems at the present stage. Fifth, to identify the features of the key zones of armed tension in the Middle East.
The complex and multifaceted nature of the geopolitical situation in the region and the dynamics of changes in the three main conflict zones (Syria-Iraq, Palestine-Israel and Yemen) made it possible to identify a tendency towards erosion of the state-centric world order, however, it would be premature to draw a conclusion about a significant increase in the role of non-state actors and the transition to non-polarity described in the works of R. Haas. Conflict interactions between states striving for leadership in the region (Iran, Israel, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Egypt), especially as exemplified by the events of late 2023-2024, indicate a shift in the balance of power from a relatively static, stable to a dynamic, changing state, characterized by the authors as a state-process.
Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that a polycentric world order of regional scale has already been formed in the Middle East. This polycentrism can be used, among other things, in the construction of regional security systems, which will allow interested countries to move from a limiting format of cooperation to a constructive, expanding one, involving in dialogue all parties whose participation is necessary to maintain indivisible regional security.

Published: November 2024

The transformation of the external environment and the presence of anti-Russian sanctions in the country's economy have led to a slowdown in the pace of production development. First of all, these conditions are associated with the use of obsolete equipment at manufacturing enterprises, the unstable financial position of companies. In addition, in Russian practice, there are enterprises that, without a developed production business system, are focused on receiving regional innovation support. The highlighted condition requires detailed study.
The purpose is to study the production system of business taking into account the requirements of regional innovation policy. To achieve this purpose, it is necessary to consider the concept of "production system" of business, determine the list of requirements of regional innovation policy that are imposed on the production system of business, model a group of criteria that will reflect the developed production system of business and compare them with the requirements of regional innovation policy.
The research toolkit is reduced to the use of the following methods: comparison, grouping of data, classification of an object by a single feature, process modeling. The result of the study was the author's matrix structure of the requirements of regional innovation policy for the production system of business, containing six key areas: legislation, production process, stocks, products, equipment, planning.
INFLUENCE OF AGE STEREOTYPES OF RUSSIANS ON THE ATTITUDE TO PATRIOTISM: MASS MEDIA DISCOURSE AND SOCIAL PRESENTATIONS
Authors:   Herzen State Pedagogical University, TSALKO Е.O.
Published: November 2024

The purpose of the article is to analyze the influence of age stereotypes on ideas about patriotism, including ideas formed in media discourse.
Methods. The empirical basis of the study is the results of semi-standardized interviews (N = 48, autumn 2023, St. Petersburg,
Makhachkala, Ivanovo, informants were differentiated according to gender, age and political preferences) as well as a thematic analysis of media outlets of various ideological orientations - TsarGrad (Internet TV channel), the Pravda newspaper (CPRF), the Telegram channel of the New People party, the LDPR party newspaper.
Based on the material obtained, the role of age stereotypes as instruments of political struggle for rethinking and changing the substantive content of patriotism was studied. The author adheres to the approach, considering patriotism as a socially constructed form of national identity and an object of symbolic politics. At the same time, various political actors seek to change its semantic content in the public consciousness. As a result, it is substantiated that one of the tools for creating and changing patriotic discourse are age stereotypes, understood as stable, emotionally charged, shared ideas about different age groups. It is concluded that age stereotypes are actively used by Russian political media in forming the patriotic agenda, forming the idea of patriotism of different generations.

Published: November 2024

Background: Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) are potential biomarkers for various kidney diseases. In this study, we aimed to identify a circulating miRNA signature for detecting acute kidney injury (AKI) in scrub typhus. Methods: We prospectively enrolled 40 patients with scrub typhus (20 with AKI, AKI group; 20 without AKI, non-AKI group) and 20 healthy volunteers (the HV group). Thereafter, we performed microarray analysis to assess the serum miRNA profiles of all the participants. Then, to identify miRNAs predictive of scrub typhus-associated AKI, we compared miRNA profiles among these three groups. Results: The proportions of miRNAs, small nucleolar RNAs, and small Cajal body-specific ribonucleoproteins were higher in patients with scrub typhus than in the HVs. Further, relative to the HVs, we identified 120 upregulated and 449 downregulated miRNAs in the non-AKI group and 101 upregulated and 468 downregulated miRNAs in the AKI group. We also identified 11 and 110 upregulated and downregulated miRNAs, respectively, in the AKI group relative to the non-AKI group, and among these miRNAs, we noted 14 miRNAs whose levels were significantly upregulated or downregulated in the AKI group relative to their levels in the HV and non-AKI groups. Biological pathway analysis of these 14 miRNAs indicated their potential involvement in various pathways associated with tumor necrosis factor alpha. Conclusion: We identified miRNAs associated with AKI in patients with scrub typhus that have predictive potential for AKI. Thus, they can be used as surrogate markers for the detection of scrub typhus-associated AKI.

Published: November 2024

Existentialism is considered as the “past” philosophical trend and lifestyle, the popularity and flowering of which falls on the 40s‒70s of the XX century. Also, no one reads the works of existentialists and they fall like dust on library shelves. The peer-reviewed newest handbook on contemporary existentialism challenges these two statements and opens up new ways of existential thinking in the XXI century. Its sections impress with the novelty of the subjects of existential reflection: from methodologies and technologies to the phenomenon of aging and disability. The Russian-Ukrainian war also updates existential thinking. Life and death, fidelity and betrayal, freedom and slavery etc. ‒ all these existential concepts help to understand the contemporary condition of Ukrainian people.

CHD is a chronic disease of narrowing of the heart’s blood vessels due to atherosclerosis. The cause of atherosclerosis is by consuming a high-fat diet (HFD) for a long period of time will triggers inflammatory processes and oxidative stress. Green gedi leaves (Abelmoschus manihot) have the potential to inhibit this process because consist of rich antioxidants in the form of flavonoids, tannins, etc. This study aims to prove the effect of ethanol extract of green gedi leaves toward TNF-α levels, foam cells, aortic wall thickness and Lee index. This is an experimental study posttest control group design. 18 male Wistar white rats (Rattus novergicus) aged 2–3 months were induced by an initial adrenalin injection of 0.006 mg/ 200 gr of rat weight and HFD consisted of diet 594, pork fat and duck egg yolk. Samples were divided into 3 groups: the normal group (KN) with a standard diet, the negative control group (P0) WITH adrenaline injection and HFD, and the treatment group (P1) with adrenaline injection, HFD and ethanol extract of green gedi leaves 200 mg/kg body weight. After 21 days the body weight and naso-anal length of the rats were measured, blood sample was taken for TNF-α level results. And abdominal aorta tissue was fixed and stained using Hematoxylin Eosin to count the amount of foam cells and aortic thickness. From One Way Anova parametric test showed that the P1 group had a lower mean of TNF-α level 77.82 ± 0.96 pg/mL compared to the P0 group 264.26 ± 0.46 pg/mL and KN group 189.14 ± 0.96 with (p < 0.001). From the statistical results of the Mann-Whitney test, there are no significant differences for the amount of foam cells P1 groups mean 3.17 ± 2.13 /PVF (p = 0.557), groups KN 3.33 ± 3.26 /PVF and P0 group 3.5 ± 3.5 /LPF. P aortic wall thickness P1 group mean was 79.45 ± 7.61 μm lower than the P0 group 99.83 ± 14.04 (p = 0.04) and KN group 79.76 ± 6.71 μm. Index Lee KN group mean 0.27 ± 0.01 gr/mm and P1 group 0.29 ± 0.01 gr/mm and P1 group 0.28 ± 0.01 gr/mm.

Travesty of Urban Little Russia in Travelogue “Famous Drums Beyond Mountains, or My Journey Somewhere in 1810” by I. M. Dolgorukov
Authors: Zhdanov S. S.
Published: November 2024

This study explores the representation of cities in Little Russia as depicted in I. M. Dolgorukov’s travelogue “Famous Drums Beyond the Mountains, or My Journey Somewhere in 1810” through a semiotic and imagological lens. The relevance of this research is underscored by the growing interest in Ukrainian identity within contemporary literary studies, particularly concerning its spatial dimensions, which remain underexplored. Consequently, this study offers a novel analysis of the urban imagery of Little Russia, focusing on descriptions of Kharkiv, Poltava, and Kyiv. Notable trends of estrangement and travesty emerge in the portrayal of these cities, alongside recurring motifs of alienation within the Little Russian landscape and a nostalgic yearning for belonging. A significant aspect of the narrative is the history of the Dolgorukov family, intricately linked to the topos of Little Russia, particularly Kyiv, where the author’s grandmother and uncle passed away. The city’s depiction is marked by themes of allure, orderliness, grandeur, wealth, antiquity, glory, and sacredness, some of which are subject to travesty. The spaces of Kharkiv and Poltava are presented as ambivalent provincial toposes characterized by both ordered and entropic qualities. The orderliness of Kharkiv is associated with descriptions of educational loci, while the positive motifs of Poltava relate to the realm of historical memory.
Constructing and Visualizing Enemy Image in Russia During Russo-Japanese War (1904-1905)
Authors: Vorobyeva E. A.
Published: November 2024

This article explores the representations of the enemy image (Japan and the Japanese) through visual propaganda in the Russian Empire during the Russo-Japanese War. Drawing on a wide array of visual sources, it identifies the contexts in which the enemy image was constructed and its key components. The analysis includes mass media from the period as well as visual materials such as posters, postcards, lithographs, drawings, and caricatures, revealing distinct features of enemy representation, its intended direction, and target audience. A comparative study of Russian and Japanese visual propaganda is conducted to uncover the reasons for their differences. The effectiveness of Russian visual propaganda is analyzed along with its primary consequences. The author concludes that the visual propaganda of the Russo-Japanese War largely reiterated images and meanings that had been ingrained in public consciousness and state ideology prior to the conflict — portraying the Japanese as “savages,” “barbarians,” “Asians,” and “monkeys,” alongside the “Yellow Peril” paradigm and the belief that Japan acted under the influence of hostile powers against Russia. Ultimately, it is argued that this propaganda, aimed at the “common people” and emphasizing the utter insignificance of the enemy, became so detached from reality that, after approximately 9-10 months of war, it resulted in a counterproductive effect—shifting the enemy image from the Japanese to the Russian autocratic regime and its representatives.
Ural Region’s Contribution to Reconstruction of Belarus’s Economy in 1944–1950s
Authors: Zapariy V. V. , Zaytseva E. V.
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the role of one of the most powerful regions of the USSR — the Ural — in assisting the restoration and development of the Byelorussian SSR during the final years of World War II and the early postwar period. The research draws on materials from Russian and Belarusian archives. It demonstrates that during this time, the BSSR undertook significant efforts to rehabilitate its economy. The restoration of industry, transportation, agriculture, and other sectors is highlighted. The study emphasizes that substantial support was provided by the republics of the Soviet Union in this endeavor. The novelty of this research lies in the introduction of previously unexamined archival materials from Russian and Belarusian sources, which reveal that Ural enterprises supplied metals, machinery, equipment, timber, raw materials, and other necessities for industrial production. Furthermore, Belarusian specialists received training at Ural enterprises and educational institutions. The authors conclude that the Ural region played a crucial role not only in the reconstruction of the war-torn economy of the republic but also in its subsequent development through the establishment of heavy industry, machine engineering, energy production, and road construction. The mechanisms by which directive bodies from the Ural regions and the Grodno region implemented these decisions are also explored.
“Paths of Monarchical Mercy”: Judicial Powers of Monarch and Constitutional Reform of 1906
Authors: Kulikov S. V.
Published: November 2024

This article presents a novel examination of a pivotal aspect of the creation of the Fundamental State Laws enacted on April 23, 1906, specifically addressing the question of the Emperor’s judicial powers. It is noted that previous iterations of the Fundamental State Laws (1832) did not delineate these powers, despite the acknowledgment of the judicial supremacy of monarchs in constitutional monarchies, particularly their right to grant pardons. The article analyzes different definitions of the Tsar’s judicial powers as outlined in three drafts of new Fundamental Laws prepared for Nicholas II in late 1905. Among these drafts, the proposal by P. A. Kharitonov emerged as the leading version. In both the draft from the State Chancellery and that of Professor O. O. Eikhelman, the judicial powers of the autocrat were framed similarly to those characteristic of constitutional monarchies at the beginning of the 20th century. In March 1906, the State Chancellery’s draft was reviewed by the Council of Ministers, chaired by Count S. Yu. Witte. With his support, conservative amendments were introduced to the draft — abolishing the nonremovability of judges established by the Judicial Statutes of 1864, preserving the Tsar’s direct involvement in administering justice, and affirming his right to dispense justice. It is demonstrated that during a Special Meeting in April 1906, liberal officials opposed these amendments, while Nicholas II sided with their critics. In the final version of the Fundamental Laws, the judicial powers of the Tsar largely conformed to European constitutionalism of the early 20th century.
Project of Museum of History of Science and Technology in Chelyabinsk as a Means of Preserving Industrial Heritage in Urals during 1980s
Authors: Lakhtionova E. S.
Published: November 2024

This article explores the origins of the project for the Museum of the History of Science and Technology in Chelyabinsk. It discusses how its initiation and development coincided with the 1980s, a period in the USSR marked by a growing interest in preserving monuments of scientific and technological history. The novelty of this research lies in the lack of existing studies on this topic, as well as the incorporation of unique archival materials that are being introduced into scholarly discourse for the first time. The author identifies the prerequisites for the creation of the project and the reasons for its implementation specifically in Chelyabinsk. The article establishes the authorship of the project, outlines its scientific concept, and examines its alignment with the conceptual foundations of science and technology museums of that era. The author also clarifies the exact name of the museum based on regulatory and project documentation. The article reconstructs the decisionmaking process and content of governmental resolutions regarding the establishment of the museum, as well as the challenges faced during its implementation. The author concludes that the project to create the Museum of the History of Science and Technology in Chelyabinsk was reflective of a broader zeitgeist, where the efforts of the scientific community and the general public were focused on preserving monuments of industrial heritage. The substantive elements of the project also indicate a desire to museify remaining artifacts of the industrial past in the Urals.
Northern “Mosaic”: Territorial Identity in Toponyms of Northern Cities in Ural Federal District
Authors: Golomidova M. V.
Published: November 2024

This article explores the features of territorial identity as reflected in the urban toponyms of northern cities in the Ural Federal District. The aim of the study is to assess the current state of the urban onomastic corpus in terms of conveying local authenticity and to outline prospects for its development. The linguistic material consists of urbanonyms from Khanty-Mansiysk, Urai, Salekhard, and Novy Urengoy, which are introduced into academic discourse for the first time. The research employs onomasiological analysis (identifying nomination motives and nominative themes), classification, and linguistic-cultural commentary. Groups of toponyms are described that verbalize nominative themes related to the foundational concepts of territorial identity — TERRITORY and CULTURE. Among the names associated with the concept of TERRITORY, those reflecting regional natural-geographical and natural-historical features are identified. Within the toponyms linked to the concept of CULTURE, names associated with social history and socio-cultural realities are established. It is noted that the embodiment of the concept CULTURE extensively verbalizes geological and industrial themes of nomination, alongside a consistent trend towards nominative commemoration. Based on identified semantic gaps, an informational reserve for creating new urban toponyms is determined. The potential for utilizing underexplored themes in science, art, sports, and the spiritual culture of indigenous peoples of the North for urban onomastic nomination is highlighted.
Linguistic Profile of an 18th Century Transbaikal Military Official: A Reconstruction from Regional Documentation
Authors: Komogortseva S. V. , Ignatovich T. Yu.
Published: November 2024

This article aims to reconstruct the linguistic profile of a military official — Colonel Peter de Sala — through an analysis of the linguistic features found in 18th-century Transbaikal administrative documents. For the first time, this study introduces a linguistic corpus derived from regional archival documents of an administrative nature, including four orders and one decree, into scholarly discourse. The findings presented herein contribute to addressing the pressing academic issue of describing the language of Transbaikal administrative documents and reconstructing the regional speech norms during the era of Russian pioneers and settlers. Furthermore, the results are significant for examining the characteristics of business writing style in regional documentation and in the context of reconstructing historical linguistic profiles within contemporary linguistic personology. The modeling of historical linguistic identity is conducted according to Y. N. Karaulov’s concept of linguistic personality, which encompasses three levels: motivational, linguo-cognitive, and verbal-semantic. The article also presents an original methodology for analyzing the language of regional administrative documents, enabling the recreation of the linguistic profile of an 18th-century historical figure — a military official — who demonstrated the requisite level of written communication skills essential for effective business interactions.

Published: November 2024

Aquaculture, as a rapidly expanding global industry, is increasingly challenged by both infectious and non-infectious diseases, posing significant threats to fish health and production. Traditional interventions, such as antibiotics and vaccines, though effective, raise concerns regarding environmental impact and the potential for resistance development. This review explores the promising role of dietary biogenic promoter supplements as an innovative, sustainable alternative for aquaculture. By analysing emerging literature, we highlight the significance of these nature-based solutions, which offer cost-effective, non-toxic, and eco-friendly options to enhance aquaculture productivity. Biogenic supplements, derived from herbs, beneficial microbes, insects, nutrients, bioactive molecules, and nanoparticles, have shown potential in improving feed quality, promoting growth, boosting disease resistance, enhancing immune system function, and supporting overall health in aquatic species. This comprehensive review demonstrates the efficacy of biogenic-mediated supplements in fostering aquaculture sustainability by minimizing the need for traditional chemical interventions. Furthermore, the analysis identifies critical research gaps, particularly in determining optimal supplement concentrations and their species-specific effects. Additionally, large-scale field trials are recommended to validate laboratory findings and assess their practical applications in real-world settings. By synthesizing current research, this review provides valuable insights into the future trajectory of aquaculture practices, positioning biogenic dietary supplements as key contributors to sustainable and efficient aquaculture development.

Published: November 2024

Nowadays, antimicrobial resistance is a burning issue all over the globe and has been addressed with higher priority. Anthelmintic resistance (AhR) is also becoming a threatening issue since control of helminths mainly depends on deworming using anthelmintics. Therefore, anthelmintics are frequently used around the year. However, the issue regarding AhR has not been focused properly when compared with anti-microbial resistance (AMR). The occurrence of AhR in livestock is very common and increasing rapidly. There are lots of evidences of AhR developed against various anthelmintics. The intensive and indiscriminate use of anthelmintics like benzimidazoles (BMZ), tetrahydropyrimidines (THP) and macrocyclic lactones (MCL) has led to the development of AhR. Therefore, researchers should devise and implement new strategies for helminth control, and control should increasingly incorporate alternative and evidence-based control strategies to limit the development of AhR. This review describes the mechanism of AhR, recent advances in developing resistance, diagnostic tests and worm control strategies.
Turning Research of a Sowing Unit Based on Reversible Tractor
Authors: Findura Pavol , Kollárová Katarína , Nadykto Volodymyr , Kyurchev Volodymyr , Zhokin Ivan
Published: November 2024

Modern sowing machine-tractor units (MTU) can be divided into single-machine (single-module), two-machine (double-module), and three-machine (triple-module). The firsts, consisting of a tractor and a trailed/mounted seeder, are the most studied and, therefore, the most widespread. Two-module MTUs mainly use trailed or semi-mounted hitch and trailed seeders. The units of this type have been studied less. Three-module sowing complexes are even less common. Most are based on a trailed hitch and trailed seeders placed behind the tractor. There are samples of MTU with side-mounted seeding machines, but their knowledge is extremely insufficient. This paper examines a three-module MTU based on a tractor with reverse motion and a front semi-mounted hitch. One of the problems in using this sowing unit is the choice of design parameters that would ensure safe turning when manoeuvring on the headland. Theoretical and experimental studies have established that by increasing the side seeder’s towbar length, MTU’s safe turning under analysis with machines of a larger operating width can be performed with a smaller distance between their inner wheels and tractor’s wheels (parameter d). If the coincidence condition of side seeders’ wheel axes with the tractor wheels axe is met, an increase in the tractor track from 1.7 to 2.5 m allows for a decrease in the value of the distance d. This solution is especially effective when using seeders with an operating width of 3.6 m. In this case, the indicated decrease reaches a fivefold size, from 0.5 to 0.10 m. With the seeders’ operating width of 5.4 m, the distance d can only be reduced by 1.4 times. But with this option for sowing MTU, it is possible to use a tractor with dual rear tyres and a parameter d value of 0.98 m. Actual oscillations in the distance d value within 0.28 ±0.01 m in the process of turning the studied sowing machine-tractor unit at a velocity of 2.2 m·s−1 are characterized by low variance (0.64·10−4 m2) and low (no more than 1.75 Hz) frequency. This allows us to consider this MTU’s mode movement on the headland quite safe.

A new method has been proposed for detecting the potential adulteration of extra virgin olive oil with processed sunflower oil. This method is based on analysing the laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) spectra of samples. The technique involves measuring the intensity ratio of three specific fluorescence peaks within the 650–750 nm region of the spectra, which are attributed to chlorophyll derivatives. The samples are excited with a 460 nm blue laser in an offset configuration. The results obtained indicate that the relative intensity ratio of these characteristic chlorophyll peaks is consistently correlated with the percentage of oil adulteration. A parameter named the chlorophyll relative intensity (CRI) number has been introduced, which is based on the relative intensity ratios of the chlorophyll peaks in the LIF spectra of the extra virgin olive oil sample. The CRI function demonstrates a linear relationship with the adulteration percentage up to 80%, with a high regression coefficient (R
2) value of 0.9984. This method can be applied accurately when the original fluorescence spectra of unadulterated extra virgin olive oil are known, and it can provide valuable information about the source of unknown oil samples.

Coffee pulpers generally use combustion and electric engines in operation, which have many disadvantages such as expensive fuel, pollution, and limited usage in places where electricity is supplied by the government. Therefore, a wet pulper coffee powered by an alternating current electric engine based on solar panels was developed. This study aims to produce and test a solar-powered alternating current electric engine wet pulper for coffee. This research went through several stages which are collecting secondary data, designing the tools to be developed, technical analysis, and performance test. The development of the pulper machine included an electric motor with a power of 1103.64 W, with a maximum machine rotational speed of 1400 rpm, an inverter, a 12 V and 100 A battery, a solar panel, and a 24 A solar charge controller. The performance results showed a stripping capacity of 783.176 kg∙h−1 and the best percentage of stripped coffee pulp at a machine rotational speed of 467 rpm and a mass of 3 kg. The findings show that a pulper powered by a solar-based alternating current electric engine can be a viable solution for areas without electricity and a suitable replacement for combustion engines.
Towards AI Copyright Equilibrium
Authors: Dermawan Artha
Published: November 2024

To balance generative AI (GenAI) innovation with the protection of copyright for authors and performers, it is necessary to recalibrate the concept of “public interest.” This recalibration is crucial to ensure that authors and performers receive fair and equitable remuneration for their contributions while facilitating public access to knowledge and cultural expressions. Such a redefinition is also aimed at addressing current challenges, including fair use, open access, and the democratization of information within the AI industry. Drawing on Virginia Held’s typology of public interest theory, this article suggests that adjustments to the notion of public interest should include establishing a balance through either a majority of individual interests or empirical data; aligning with the collective interests that receive societal endorsement; and evaluating public interest based on normative content and moral judgment, utilizing the principle of enjoyment and the public perception test in copyright law. While various theoretical frameworks could be used to conceptualize public interest, the article proposes an approach that explicitly defines copyright objectives and harmonizes the rights of authors and performers with the public’s right to access creative works. Such harmonization could be achieved through an integrative methodology that combines evidence-based analysis, consensus among stakeholders without conflicting interests, and normative evaluations rooted in societal ethics.
Data Protection Under Review of Constitutional Court: Administrative Databases Directly Accessible to Public Authorities
Authors: Potaičuks Aleksandrs
Published: November 2024

The development and use of administrative databases accelerate administrative and sometimes even criminal proceedings within public authorities. However, the increased data storage and free circulation of data pose a challenge to the protection of personal data and, thus, to the privacy of individuals. The focus of this article is the constitutional control of legislation that mandates the storage and processing of personal data—the review of legislative acts themselves, not their application. This article first presents two leading cases of the Constitutional Court of Latvia; second, it analyses the scope of the review and the constitutional articles protecting personal data in state-held databases; and third, the article analyses the legal problems that led to the annulment of the relevant national provisions. Finally, the author generalises on the lessons of the two judgments and similar judgments of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Court of Human Rights for future administrative databases directly accessible to public authorities and discusses the particular considerations that any legislator must take into account when mandating the storage of certain types of personal data in administrative databases.
Protection of Older People Working from Home During the Pandemic: A Central-European Case Study
Authors: Pavelek Ondřej , Zajíčková Drahomíra
Published: November 2024

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on labour markets worldwide, necessitating the rapid implementation of work-from-home policies to mitigate the spread of the virus. This study examines the legislative frameworks and their effectiveness in protecting older employees working from home in four Central European countries: the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia. Through a legal comparison and an empirical survey of respondents aged 50 to 64, six key areas were investigated: the definition of work from home, the grounds for its institution during the pandemic, the provision of necessary equipment, the coverage of equipment costs, the coverage of energy costs, and workplace safety. The results revealed some disparities in legislative support and practical implementation across these countries. Many older employees reported insufficient provision of necessary equipment and a lack of compensation for related costs, including energy expenses. Furthermore, more than 50% of respondents in the Czech Republic and Slovakia indicated inadequate safety training for remote work. Despite these challenges, a majority of the respondents expressed a preference for continuing work-from-home arrangements post-pandemic. The study concludes with recommendations for legislative enhancements to better protect older employees, including clearer regulations, improved equipment provision, comprehensive cost coverage, and thorough safety training.

Children’s Right to Healthy Food and the Digital Market
Authors: Joamets Kristi
Published: November 2024

There are several laws, policies, and recommendations providing protection to children from environmental harm. Lack of clean food can be one of such harms. Clean food is not just about food availability or accessibility but also about food safety. This means that food must be free of adverse substances—in other words, it must be healthy food. For decades, there have been discussions and attempts to find solutions on how to reduce the marketing of unhealthy food to children to prevent overweight, obesity, and diseases. It has also been proved that unhealthy food too often reaches children through digital marketing. This article discusses whether the existing legal grounds and policies provide sufficient protection to children from unhealthy food advertised on digital media. It also explores how technology impacts children’s right to clean food and what could be the solutions for managing this issue.
