Authors: Wąs Adam , Małażewska Sylwia
Published: January 2024

Przemiany strukturalne w sektorze gospodarstw rolniczych postępują we wszyst­kich krajach Unii Europejskiej (UE). Liczba gospodarstw zmniejsza się, a średnia powierzchnia stale się zwiększa. Jednak zarówno tempo tych przemian, jak i obecna struktura gospodarstw są bardzo zróżnicowane. Celem opracowania jest przedstawienie zmian zachodzących w ostatnich latach w wybranych krajach UE w strukturze rolnictwa rozumianej jako struktura obszarowa gospodarstw oraz stopnia zaawansowania procesu tychże przemian na tle zmian podstawowych wskaźników charakteryzujących stan rozwoju gospodarczego. W artykule podjęto też próbę wskazania najkorzystniejszego kierunku przemian z punktu widzenia polskiego rolnictwa. Wyniki badań wskazują na istotne rozbieżności między tempem, poziomem zaawansowania i kierunkiem przemian strukturalnych sektora gospodarstw rolniczych w analizowanych krajach europejskich. Na podstawie badań wysunięto wniosek, że model przemian strukturalnych zmierzający w kierunku spolaryzowanej struktury obszarowej gospodarstw rolniczych może być adekwatny do polskich warunków.

Authors: Kisiel Roman , Babuchowska Karolina
Published: January 2024

Celem opracowania jest ukazanie zróżnicowania nakładów inwestycyjnych w polskich gospodarstwach rolnych w przekroju regionalnym. Metodą wykorzystaną do oceny zróżnicowania regionalnego nakładów inwestycyjnych była analiza skupień. Każde województwo zostało scharakteryzowane przez nakłady inwestycyjne w przeliczeniu: na 1 ha użytków rolnych, 1 gospodarstwo rolne, 1 pracującego w sektorze rolnym. Dokonując aglomeracji regionów metodą środków ciężkości, zidentyfikowano trzy skupienia. Do pierwszego skupienia należą województwa: opolskie, pomorskie, wielkopolskie i mazowieckie. Drugie skupienie utworzyły województwa: kujawsko-pomorskie, podlaskie, dolnośląskie, lubuskie, warmińsko-mazurskie i zachodniopomorskie. Pozostałe województwa weszły w skład trzeciego skupienia.
Sytuacja ekonomiczna gospodarstw rolnych w warunkach zmiany koniunktury gospodarczej (2007-2009)
Authors: Grzelak Aleksander
Published: January 2024

Głównym celem artykułu jest ocena sytuacji ekonomicznej gospodarstw rolnych (ze względu na wielkość ekonomiczną) w warunkach zmiany koniunktury gospodarczej w Polsce w latach 2007-2009. Do tego celu wykorzystano testy koniunktury opracowane przez Instytut Rozwoju Gospodarczego (IRG) SGH w Warszawie oraz dane systemu rachunkowości rolnej FADN. Stwierdzono, że istnieją znaczne zróżnicowania w zakresie reakcji gospodarstw rolnych na zmiany koniunktury. Największe gospodarstwa (powyżej 100 ESU) silniej odczuwały skutki dekoniunktury. Ich dostosowania polegały na utrzymaniu poziomu produkcji rolnej. Z kolei najmniejsze gospodarstwa nieco bardziej elastycznie dostosowywały się do zmian koniunktury, jednak działo się to w warunkach niskich dochodów i inwestycji niepokrywających poziomu amortyzacji. Natomiast gospodarstwa z grupy 16-100 ESU w relatywnie mniejszym zakresie odczuły skutki pogorszenia sytuacji makroekonomicznej. Koniunktura w rolnictwie jest w wysokim stopniu zsynchronizowana z koniunkturą ogólnogospodarczą. Jej zmiany w rolnictwie przejawiają się głównie w fluktuacji cen surowców rolnych.
Zmiany w produkcji buraka cukrowego w województwie dolnośląskim w latach 2002-2011
Authors: Artyszak Arkadiusz
Published: January 2024

W pracy przedstawiono zmiany w produkcji buraka cukrowego w województwie dolnośląskim w latach 2002-2011. W tym okresie powierzchnia uprawy buraka cukrowego zmniejszyła się o 63,1%, plony zwiększyły się o 53,7%, a zbiory zmalały o 3,0%. Od 2002 roku do 2010 roku areał buraka cukrowego został ograniczony w 26 powiatach, w tym w 11 o ponad 30%. Głównym powodem zmniejszenia areału buraka cukrowego była reforma rynku cukru w Unii Europejskiej w latach 2006-2009.
Kwestia rolna w teorii wyboru publicznego
Authors: Czyżewski Andrzej , Kułyk Piotr
Published: January 2024

W artykule przedstawiono współczesne ujęcie kwestii rolnej w teorii wyboru publicznego. Wskazano, że w procesach liberalizacji i globalizacji znaczenie rolnictwa uległo wzmocnieniu, zwłaszcza w wyniku zmian warunków makrootoczenia. Nadal głównym źródłem badań w kwestii rolnej jest specyfika produkcji rolnej i alokowanych w rolnictwie zasobów. Uwzględnienie dorobku teorii wyboru publicznego, w tym koncepcji rent seeking nie neguje interwencjonizmu w rolnictwie, natomiast wskazuje na konieczność redukcji asymetrii informacji między podmiotami gospodarczymi. Niedoskonałości alokacji za pośrednictwem państwa są efektem niedoskonałej koordynacji w zakresie wyborów publicznych.
Wahania cykliczne cen ziemi rolniczej w Polsce – ujęcie teoretyczne i empiryczne
Authors: Maśniak Jacek
Published: January 2024

Celem artykułu jest wyjaśnienie zjawiska cykliczności wahań cen ziemi rolniczej w Polsce. Badaniem objęto zarówno zmiany nominalnych cen ziemi, jak i strukturę cen w rolnictwie na podstawie wybranych wskaźników. Podstawą teoretyczną do przeprowadzonych badań empirycznych była austriacka teoria cyklu koniunkturalnego. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że w Polsce w latach 1998-2012 w okresach dobrej koniunktury ceny ziemi wzrastały znacznie szybciej niż w fazach spadkowych i okresach stagnacji. W poszczególnych fazach cyklu koniunkturalnego zmieniała się również struktura cen. Ceny ziemi kształtowały się w sposób typowy dla dóbr inwestycyjnych, czyli podległy silniejszym wahaniom niż ceny dóbr konsumpcyjnych.
Płatności bezpośrednie w rolnictwie a koncepcja pogoni za rentą
Authors: Utzig Monika
Published: January 2024

W opracowaniu zastosowano teorię pogoni za rentą, definiowaną jako przeznaczanie zasobów na zwiększanie udziału w istniejącym bogactwie zamiast produkowania nowych dóbr i usług, do analizy płatności bezpośrednich dla rolnictwa w Polsce. Wsparcie finansowe dla rolnictwa jest uzasadnione, gdyż rolnictwo dostarcza szerokiego spektrum dóbr publicznych. Skuteczność w pozyskiwaniu płatności bezpośrednich przez rolników indywidualnych w Polsce zwiększała się w okresie 2004-2012, a od 2010 r. zaobserwowano w tym zakresie znaczącą poprawę. Na poziomie województw skuteczność w pozyskiwaniu płatności bezpośrednich jest skorelowana wyłącznie z wiekiem użytkownika gospodarstwa rolnego, była ona wyższa, gdy udział gospodarstw rolnych z indywidualnym użytkownikiem do 35. roku życia był wyższy.

This article reports on a study to assess the feasibility of research procedures and acceptability of QBSAFE, a set of conversation cards focused on quality of life, treatment burden, safety, and avoidance of future events in people with type 2 diabetes. The study enrolled 84 patients and 7 clinicians. Of the 58 patients who completed questionnaires, 64% agreed that the QBSAFE agenda-setting kit (ASK) helped them discuss their situation, 78% agreed that others could benefit from it, and 38% said they would use it again. Most clinicians felt confident responding to issues (in 89% of encounters) and said they would use the kit again (78%) and recommend it to colleagues (82%). The QBSAFE ASK can be feasibly implemented and holds promise in facilitating discussion and collaborative problem-solving.

Published: January 2024

Autoantibodies to glutamate decarboxylase (GADA) are widely used in the prediction and classification of type 1 diabetes. GADA radiobinding assays (RBAs) using N-terminally truncated antigens offer improved specificity but radioisotopes limit the high-throughput potential for population screening. Luciferase-based Immunoprecipitation System (LIPS) assays are sensitive and specific alternatives to RBAs with the potential to improve risk stratification. The performance of assays using the Luciferase (Nluc-) conjugated GAD65 constructs, Nluc-GAD65(96-585) and full length Nluc-GAD65(1-585) were evaluated in 434 well-characterised sera from recent-onset type 1 diabetes patients and first-degree relatives. Non-radioactive, high-throughput LIPS assays are quicker and require less serum than RBAs. Of 171 relatives previously tested single autoantibody positive for autoantibodies to full-length GAD65 by RBA but had not progressed to diabetes, fewer retested positive by LIPS using either truncated (n=72) or full-length (n=111) antigen. The Nluc-GAD65(96-585) truncation demonstrated the highest specificity in LIPS assays overall but in contrast to RBA, N-terminus truncations did not result in a significant increase in disease-specificity compared with the full-length antigen. This suggests that binding of non-specific antibodies is affected by the conformational changes resulting from addition of the Nluc antigen. Nluc-GAD65(96-585) LIPS assays offer low blood volume, high specificity GADA tests for screening and diagnostics.

Published: January 2024

Objective: To determine recurrence incidence after partial nephrectomy (PN) for renal cell carcinoma and identify predictors for local recurrence (LR) and metastasis.
Material and methods: We retrospectively evaluated a cohort of 524 patients from the Cancer Registry of Norway, who underwent PN between January 2014 and December 2015 and were followed-up for >6 years. Patient demographics and pathological characteristics were correlated with recurrence and progression-free survival using Kaplan-Meier and Cox regression analyses.
Results: Median patient age was 64 years, and the median tumour size was 2.6 cm. A positive surgical margin (PSM) was observed in 11% of the cases, while the LR and metastasis rates were 3.4% and 3.2%, respectively. PSM (hazard ratio [HR], 55.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 12.55–244.6), tumour number (HR, 45.4; 95% CI, 6.5–316.1) and stage (HR, 33.5; 95% CI, 5.4–205.3) were independent predictors for LR. Undetermined margin status was also a risk factor for LR. Tumour stage (HR, 41.05; 95% CI, 8.52–197.76), tumour necrosis (HR, 1.3; 95% CI, 0.4–4.31) and age (HR, 1.07; 95% CI, 1.01–1.14) were predictors for metastasis.
Conclusions: Both local and distant recurrences after PN were rare, and the pT stage was a common predictor. PSM or indeterminate surgical margin and tumour number were LR predictors, while age at surgery and the presence of tumour necrosis predicted metastasis.

Recently, the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, presented a technical note on behavioral science () and its application by different UN organizations, in order to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. Other supranational organizations are also setting up their own «behavioral analysis and design units» or leading specific initiatives. So far, the structure of such behavioral analysis units has not been examined. The aim of our work is to find out, through an observational study of their websites, both the structure of the behavior analysis and design units of supranational organizations and their composition, as well as the main types of projects they carry out and the opportunities and implications created for psychology professionals.
Intervention Needs in Prison With Pedophile Inmates
Authors: Ursúa María Prieto , Bueno-Guerra Nereida , Riberas-Gutiérrez María
Published: January 2024

There are specific treatment programs in prisons for those convicted of sexually assaulting minors; however, those who also have pedophilia require specific attention. The aim of this study is twofold: first, to offer a specific intervention proposal for pedophilia in the prison setting based on the available scientific evidence, and complementary to the Sexual Assault Control Program, and second, to justify this proposal through the case of an inmate with pedophilia. Specifically, we propose an individual intervention focused on people with pedophilia; working on low self-esteem, assessing suicidal ideation, and restructuring cognitive distortions with minors, facilitating the creation of functional personal relationships with adults, assessing past polyvictimization and its possible influence on subsequent sexual behavior, providing inmates with psychoeducation on pedophilia; specifically addressing sexual fantasies with minors, avoiding dissexual behavior, and eliminating the consumption of abusive material.
Магнітне поле двигуна постійного струму зі збудженням від постійних магнітів
Authors: Гавдьо Ігор
Published: January 2024

На даний час двигуни постійного струму зі збудженням від постійних магнітів (ДПС ПМ) широко застосовуються в транспортних засобах, побутових приладах, переносному електроінструменті внаслідок простої конструкції та невеликої вартості. Тому завдання створення математичних моделей їх розрахунку, які можна застосувати для проектування, є актуальним. Метою статті є уточнення математичної моделі магнітного стану ДПС ПМ та дослідна перевірка відповідності результатів експерименту результатам розрахунку. Для опису магнітного стану ДПС ПМ використана теорія магнітних та електричних кіл. Запропонована уточнена розгалужена заступна схема магнітопроводу ДПС ПМ з зосередженими параметрами. У цій схемі немагнітним ділянкам магнітопроводу відповідають постійні магнітні опори. Ділянкам магнітопроводу з феромагнітних матеріалів відповідають нелінійні магнітні опори, які представлені залежністю F[Ф] спаду намагнічуючої сили на магнітному опорі від магнітного потоку. Зубцева зону якоря, розміщена під магнітами, розбивається на m однакових секторів радіальними площинами, перпендикулярними до площини листів якоря. Заступна схема магнітопроводу описана системою нелінійних рівнянь, складених для однієї полюсної поділки двигуна з використанням методу контурних струмів. Ця система містить три рівняння контурів статора та (m – 1) рівнянь для контурів якоря. Наведені результати розрахунку потоку магніту та індукцій у різних ділянках магнітопроводу ДПС ПМ. Адекватність розрахунку магнітного кола ДПС ПМ перевірена стосовно потоку магніту. Дослідний взірець ДПС ПМ складається зі статора та необмотаного якоря. В діаметральних пазах якоря, заповнених діелектриком, намотана вимірювальна котушка, витки якої розташовані біля повітряного проміжку. Виводи вимірювальної котушки приєднані до флюксметра. Фіксувалося відхилення стрілки флюксметра під час обертання якоря від положення котушки, яке відповідає геометричній нейтралі, до її положення, що збігається з віссю полюсів. Розрахункове та дослідне значення потоку магніту збігаються з точністю 0,86%, що підтверджує адекватність запропонованої математичної моделі магнітного стану ДПС ПМ. Запропонована заступна схема магнітопроводу та система рівнянь, що її описують, можуть бути базою для створення математичних моделей розрахунку статичних характеристик та перехідних режимів ДПС ПМ.
Математичне моделювання частотно-керованого електроприводу з двообмотковою асинхронною машиною з врахуванням просторових гармонік

Published: January 2024

Математичне моделювання частотно-керованого асинхронного електроприводу з двообмотковою машиною, зазвичай, полягає у використанні колових математичних моделей для дослідження перехідних та усталених режимів роботи. Такі моделі не враховують просторових гармонік. Під просторовими гармоніками машини розуміється гармоніки розподілу витків обмотки в пазах статора машини. Для дослідження впливу просторових гармонік на струм статора та електромагнітний момент двообмоткової машини, переважно, використовуються математичні моделі на основі методу скінченних елементів (FEM). Такі моделі дають змогу дослідити лише усталені електромагнітні процеси двообмоткової машини. Тому розроблення колової математичної моделі частотно-керованого електроприводу з двообмотковою машиною, яка враховує просторові гармоніки для дослідження усталених та перехідних режимів роботи частотно-керованого асинхронного електроприводу є актуальним науковим завданням. У розробленій авторами коловій математичній моделі частотно-керованого електроприводу з двообмотковою асинхронною машиною застосовано оригінальний спосіб врахування просторових гармонік намагнічувальної сили шляхом введення гармонічних складових в індуктивність намагнічення у випадку живлення її обмоток від шеститактних інверторів напруги. Математичне моделювання частотнорегульованого електроприводу з двообмотковою машиною продемонструвало наявність низькочастотних гармонік в струмах статора та, відповідно, в електромагнітному моменті, які обумовлені просторовими гармоніками розподілу витків обмоток в пазах статора та часовими гармоніками живлення машини від шеститактних інверторів напруги. Гармонічний аналіз струму статора та електромагнітного моменту двообмоткової машини при її живленні від двох шеститактних інверторів напруги з використанням математичних моделей машини з врахуванням просторових гармонік та без такого врахування свідчить, що визначальними на формування кривих струму статора та моменту машини, вхідного струму інверторів напруги є часові гармоніки системи живлення.

Published: January 2024

Celebrity endorsers are part of today's marketing strategy. Many brands or tourist objects employ them to influence and increase sales. However, there is a limitation of study on the impact of celebrity endorsers. This study examines the profound influence of celebrity endorsements on consumer behavior, encompassing emotions, preferences, and perceived utility. Drawing upon a case study of Jalan Tunjungan, empirically, the research demonstrates the significant impact of celebrity endorsements in this specific context. The research highlights that celebrity endorsements evoke emotional responses, enhance product preferences, and amplify perceived utility, ultimately driving consumer engagement. While the Tunjungan case provides compelling evidence, further investigation is warranted to comprehend celebrity endorsements' enduring effects, particularly in consumer decision to visit Tunjungan. This study underscores the need for a more comprehensive understanding of how celebrity endorsements shape long-term consumer behavior, offering valuable insights for marketing strategies and brand management in diverse contexts.

Published: January 2024

Jedným z významných rozhodnutí fyzických osôb je voľba spôsobu zabezpečenia svojho príjmu. Medzi základné možnosti zárobkovej činnosti na Slovensku patrí vykonávanie závislej práce v pracovnoprávnom vzťahu a vykonávanie samostatne zárobkovej činnosti v podobe podnikania alebo inej samostatnej zárobkovej činnosti. Popri klasických zárobkových činnostiach (t.j. závislá práca a samostatná zárobková činnosť), čelí aj Slovenská republika novodobému fenoménu ekonomicky závislej samostatnej zárobkovej činnosti. Zámerom monografie je skúmať a identifikovať základné prístupy pri vymedzení práce na hrane medzi závislou prácou (zamestnaním) a nezávislou prácou (podnikaním), t.j. nepravej alebo falošnej samostatne zárobkovej činnosti. Monografia prepája ekonomické vnímanie podnikania a samostatne zárobkovej činnosti s legislatívnymi trendmi, a tým upozorňuje na potenciálne úskalia v aplikačnej praxi. Hlavným cieľom vedeckej monografie je vymedziť podstatu nepravej samostatne zárobkovej činnosti a ekonomicky závislej samostatnej zárobkovej činnosti, zhodnotiť možnosti ich merania a vykazovania a identifikovať hlavné trendy v právnej regulácii nepravej a závislej samostatne zárobkovej činnosti a ich dopady na aplikačnú prax. V teoretickej rovine vychádza z medzinárodne akceptovaných teórií a konceptov falošnej a závislej samostatnej zárobkovej činnosti a v a praktickej rovine sa opiera o dáta a výsledky originálneho empirického výskumu z roku 2022, ktorý bol realizovaný v slovenských podmienkach.

Published: January 2024

Research background: The global interdependence of financial markets due to globalization has resulted in standardized trading conditions for agricultural commodities, reducing the advantages of portfolio diversification. Recent events between 2020 and 2023 underscore the growing importance of real-time information for investors to make informed decisions in this interconnected financial landscape.
Purpose of the article: This article aims to conduct a bibliometric review of the literature about market interdependence. We investigate the contagion effect on agricultural commodities and identify commodities and methods used in the most cited publications from 1997 to 2022.
Methods: A bibliometric analysis was developed, for this, the SCOPUS database was used, sorting with Rayyan, Excel, and finally, the Bibliometrix/R-project to extract bibliometric information from the database.
Findings & value added: The analysis highlights the prominent role of certain countries in contributing to scientific research on this topic, with China and the United States being leaders, collectively producing 24.57% of all publications in the examined periods. The research underscores the global concern for sustainable development, emphasizing the scientific growth linked to this topic and its intersection with energy sources. Unlike other bibliometric studies, this research consolidates relevant methodologies employed in analyzing interdependence and contagion effects in agricultural commodities over the past decades. Additionally, it identifies the most studied commodities in these works. As the world grapples with the challenges of market interdependence, particularly in the wake of recent events between 2020 and 2023, this study underscores the importance of real-time information for informed decision-making. The study suggests a shift towards cleaner and renewable energy sources in the coming years, anticipating increased investments in research and development.

Authors: Siddiq Ahmad , Haqq Syauqy Arinal
Published: January 2024

This study aims to elaborate on and examine Westernization at the first modern university in the Muslim world called Darülfünun and its impact of on religious education in Turkish universities. The study explores the history of the establishment of Darülfünun at the beginning to determine some efforts to Westernize this institution. This research is qualitative with an approach to library study. Data is collected through documentation such as books, articles, and educational policies of the Turkish government over a certain period. This study revealed that Darülfünun, which has now changed its name to Istanbul University, has held several Westernization agendas and inevitably influenced religious education conducted by the other Faculty of Theology in Turkish universities. The secularization and modernization ordered by Atatürk played a significant role in shaping the Turkish educational system. Due to its status as a pioneer of modern universities in Türkiye, Darülfünun has inspired modernization as well as Westernization in universities founded throughout the country.

Authors: Firmansyah Firmansyah
Published: January 2024

Education has the power to enhance understanding, awareness, and skills for changes in knowledge and attitudes. For instance, in the teaching of Fiqih, an educator certainly requires instructional media as an intermediary between themselves and the learners. Instructional media plays a crucial role in the learning process by stimulating learning interest and enhancing learning effectiveness. The subject of Fiqh in Islamic education helps learners comprehend Islamic laws and apply them in their daily lives. The use of instructional media in Fiqh can enhance learner engagement and enrich the learning experience, provided that the chosen media align with the learning objectives and support a proper understanding of Fiqh concepts. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. To gather research data, interview techniques, observation techniques, and documentation techniques are used. The data analysis includes data collection, data reduction, data display, and verification or conclusion drawing. The results of this research are as follows: The instructional media used in the 7th-grade Fiqh subject at MTs N 1 Pontianak include human-based media, visual media such as whiteboards, books, images/photos, and audio-visual media such as InFocus projectors (slides/videos).  The steps for using Learning media Of Subject Fiqih at MTs N 1 Pontianak generally comprise: preparation, implementation, and follow-up.
ICT development and total factor productivity growth
Authors: Chang Koyin , Tomljanovich Marc , Ying Yung-hsiang
Published: January 2024

Total factor productivity (TFP) is essential for disentangling the determinants of economic growth, productivity, and the standard of living. Understanding the variations in TFP, however, is greatly challenging because of the many assumptions that comprise the theoretical growth framework. In this paper, we aim to explore the determinants of TFP growth for countries at different stages of information and communication technology (ICT) development. To address the endogenous nature of the associated growth variables, we implement a three-stage-least (3SLS) square panel regression to improve the efficiency and asymptomatic accuracy of the estimators. We find that transmission channels, such as financial openness and trade globalization, have contributed substantially to growth in both advanced and developing countries. However, we also discover that greater financial openness can undermine a country’s TFP growth if the financial system is not sufficiently developed. When time horizons are decomposed into pre-ICT development and post-ICT development periods, a significant crowding-out effect is observed between ICT investment and financial openness in the pre-period, implying that the allocation of resources is critical for countries in the developing stage. Trade and finance policies that are adopted by advanced and developed countries might not be ideal for underdeveloped countries. Discretion in choosing adequate policies regarding financial integration and trade liberalization is advised for these emerging countries.

RME-Induced Root Resorption and Repair: A Computerised 3-D Reconstruction
Authors: Kittel P. W. , Sampson WJ.
Published: January 2024

This study was designed to evaluate the 3-D relation of epithelial rests of Malassez (ERM) to orthodontically induced resorption lacunae in human tooth roots, First premolars were extracted following rapid maxillary expansion, then they were prepared for transmission electron microscopy and sectioned. Serial 1 pm sections were used for the 3-D reconstructions and ultra thin sections were utilized to verify the identification of epithelial cells and blood vessel types. Each serial section was photographed and profiles of the resorption bays, epithelial cells and blood vessels were digitized and computer reconstructions performed with an IBM-based software programme.

The reconstructions supported the view that epithelial cell and blood vessel relation to the resorption lacunae appeared to be related to the level of activity of the bay. Possible functional roles for epithelial cells in the resorptive process are discussed.

Published: January 2024

Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an inherited tumor predisposition caused by mutations in the VHL tumor suppressor gene. Carriers of these mutations face a lifelong risk of developing multisystemic tumors. We present the case of a patient who at the age of 23 presented, following an insidious onset, symptoms of intracranial hypertension. Therapeutic and diagnostic surgical intervention put the stigma of a genetic pathology with permanent life impairment. The multiple surgeries undergone and the lack of early rehabilitation led to the significant impairment of the functional deficit through the appearance of paraparetic motor deficit, balance and walking disorders. The periodic functional evaluation is carried out in the Rehabilitation Hospital of Techirghiol Romania, where he is hospitalized and receives complex treatments by combining natural and physical-kinetic factors. For the last 30 years, significant changes have been made regarding the clinical characteristics and molecular aspects of VHL disease and early genetic diagnosis, but significant challenges remain. The complex multidisciplinary approach of these cases represents a priority in treating these patients.

Authors: Bjørklund Geir , Meguid Nagwa A. , El-Ansary Afaf
Published: January 2024

Probiotics, live microorganisms with potential health benefits, have gained significant research interest for their impact on gut microbiota and neuroprotection. This paper highlights insights from two collaborative studies focusing on probiotics' multifaceted role in addressing autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and mitigating glutamate excitotoxicity. In the first study (Meguid et al., 2022), probiotic supplementation in children with ASD increased Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus colony counts, reduced anxiety, and improved sleep, suggesting a therapeutic potential for ASD symptoms. The second study (El-Ansary et al., 2018) explored neuroprotective effects, revealing probiotics' ability to restore γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and magnesium (Mg2+) levels, mitigating glutamate excitotoxicity. Safety assessments indicated well-tolerated probiotic use in both studies. Future research should focus on personalized probiotic interventions and mechanistic studies to unlock probiotics' full potential in neurodevelopment and neuroprotection.
Perspective Applications of Plasma-Deposited Thin Film Nanocatalysts on Structured Supports: From CO2 Capture to Wastewater Treatment
Authors: KIERZKOWSKA-PAWLAK Hanna , BILIŃSKA Lucyna , TYCZKOWSKI Jacek
Published: January 2024

The urgent need for sustainable solutions to environmental challenges has led to significant research efforts towards innovative processes and technologies capable of addressing global issues such as carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and valorisation as well as efficient water-reuse cycles. The majority of processes involved in CO2 conversion require highly active catalysts for practical implementation. Concurrently, wastewater treatment technologies, critical for achieving sustainable water reuse, often rely on complex multi-stage systems that incorporate advanced oxidation processes (AOPs). Optimising reaction conditions and exploring unconventional approaches to catalytic system design are crucial for enhancing the efficiency of these processes. Among the emerging solutions, the application of thin-film catalysts deposited by cold plasma onto various structured supports has shown promising potential for improving process performance to meet environmental goals. This paper discusses recent advancements in the development of thin-film nanocatalysts based on cost-effective transition metals. It highlights their application in gas-phase reactions, such as CO2 hydrogenation to value-added products, as well as innovative uses in multiphase gas-liquid systems, including CO2 capture in aqueous solvents and the ozonation of wastewater.
Recycling Strategy of Green Closed-Loop Supply Chain Under Urban and Rural Low-Carbon Planning
Authors: LI Menggang , WANG Tianyang
Published: January 2024

The low-carbon ecological city aims to harmonise sustainable urban development with low-emission planning approaches. Emissions from business production processes are central to low-carbon planning. This paper explores three closed-loop supply chain recycling models - manufacturer, retailer, and third-party -considering carbon trading and emission reduction technology investment. Respective Stackelberg game models are developed incorporating carbon emission reduction costs, recycling costs, carbon trading price, emission intensity, and recycling price. The influence of these variables on carbon emission reduction and profit is examined through numerical analysis. Results indicate the government’s free carbon quota does not impact per-unit carbon reduction or manufacturer profit, nor optimal recycling mode selection. Under specific remanufacturing emission intensity and production cost saving conditions, carbon quota trading can substantially incentivise manufacturers to invest in emission reduction and recycling. With carbon trading and emission reduction technology investment, manufacturer recycling optimises economic and environmental benefits when remanufactured products provide high production cost savings. This fosters sustainable development supporting low-carbon planning.

Authors: BRYSIEWICZ Adam , CZERNIEJEWSKI Przemysław , SIECZKO Leszek
Published: January 2024

Watercourses serve the needs of agriculture in certain sections and are subject to strong anthropopressure. When agriculture prevails in the catchment, it often has abundant vegetation, macrophytes in particular, and the bottom is covered by a substantial layer of silt. In order to ensure patency of flow and access to water, small watercourses are very often subject to river maintenance works. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of 3 types of works on the diversity of fish species and density of fish in the 1 and 2 year after the works at 21 sites located on 8 rivers in the European Central Plains Ecoregion. As a result of the works, especially in the 1 year after the works, significant changes were found in hydrochemical and hydrological parameters, especially with the increase in velocity and mean depth in watercourses. Additionally, habitat change contributed to differences in the composition of the ichthyofaunal. After 1 year, the diversity of fish species and fish population density increased or remained unchanged after dredging and removal of plants from the river channel, but they decreased after the removal of macrophytes from river banks. After year 2, a decrease in the diversity of fish species and density was observed, associated with re-infestation and siltation of the watercourses. Particularly in the case of dredging and removal of macrophytes from the river bank, maintenance works should not be done too frequently, because some species of natural value disappear.

Published: January 2024

Subject and purpose of work

Because there was a reduced market for their products as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, several micro, small & medium-sized enterprise (MSME) actors went out of business. One way to boost marketing performance is through digital marketing. The goal of this study is to create a strategy that will hasten the adoption of digital marketing for MSMEs. This study was focused on the Association of Retired Workers and Families (Pertakina), an SME of Blitar Regency, which has various kinds of businesses producing very varied and creative products, including food, drinks, services, and handicrafts.

Materials and methods

This study used mixed methods with a sequential explanatory design, which combined quantitative research methods in the first stage, followed by sequential qualitative research. Using a straightforward random sampling technique, 72 MSME actors who have used digital marketing were chosen as samples. Quantitative data samples are MSME actors who have used digital marketing to market their products. An initial sample of qualitative data sources was selected purposively, using the chairman of Pertakina Blitar and Pertakina MSMEs as the key informant. Subsequent informants were then selected by snowball sampling based on the information given by the key informant; they were Pertakina MSME actors who have not done digital marketing. The researchers consider the sample to be saturated (data saturation) with as many as 18 respondents. The information was gathered through literature reviews, surveys, interviews, observations, and documentation.

Results

The results show that digital marketing has a significant effect on marketing performance. The barriers to implementing digital marketing are lack of qualified human resources, infrastructure needs, internet networks, and the ability to produce content. Additionally, the acceleration programme was created based on the barriers in implementing digital marketing identified in this study to enhance the marketing effectiveness of MSME players.

Conclusions

It is suggested that Pertakina conduct training by a competent trainer in the field of digital marketing technology to improve the MSMEs actors’ abilities. Furthermore, this can be done in collaboration with the government and universities.

ABSTRACT

 

Poverty is defined as the inability of the population concerned to achieve or meet a certain minimum standard of living. There are two conditions that cause poverty to occur, namely natural poverty and artificial poverty. Natural poverty occurs, among others, due to limited natural resources, low use of technology and natural disasters. This study aims to analyze the effect of the Unemployment Rate, Education Level, Investment and Economic Growth simultaneously and partially on Poverty Conditions in Karangasem Regency, and to determine the dominant variables that affect the poverty level. The number of samples is 30 years. The data analysis technique used is multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that the unemployment rate, education level, investment and economic growth had a simultaneous effect on Poverty Conditions. Partially, the unemployment rate has no effect on poverty conditions in Karangasem Regency, while the level of education and investment has a significant negative effect on poverty conditions in Karangasem Regency, and economic growth has a significant positive effect partially on poverty conditions in Karangasem Regency.
