Larkin’s Encounters with Dionysus: What Goes on in the Shade?
Authors: Gelineau David
Published: July 2024

The two voices in Philip Larkin’s work have often been noted by critics, but none have noted the debt that this division owes to Friedrich Nietzsche. Especially influenced by the idea of the Dionysian and Apollonian from The Birth of Tragedy, Larkin follows Nietzsche’s dictum that great art occurs when “Dionysus speaks the language of Apollo; and Apollo, finally the language of Dionysus.” This article shows how Larkin’s poetry engages in a dialectic between Apollonian rationalism and Dionysian anti-rationalism throughout his career by looking at “At Grass,” “Dublinesque,” and culminating in “The Whitsun Weddings,” where the Apollonian-Dionysian dialectic is most explicit.
Agrobacterium transformation of Rhodiola sp.: current status and limitations
Authors: Javid A. , György Zs.
Published: July 2024

The study of secondary metabolites has led to the discovery of new drugs for treating human diseases. However, consistent plant supply can be challenging, leading to the use of plant tissue culture techniques such as hairy root culture. Hairy roots have stable genetics, lateral branching, and can produce secondary metabolites, including alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids. Research on hairy roots as a subject began in the late 19th century, and for the last four decades, hairy roots have been utilized for producing secondary metabolites and recombinant proteins. This article focuses on Rhodiola species - genus of perennial plants that belongs to the family Crassulaceae - and its potential as a source of secondary metabolites using hairy root culture techniques. Rhodiola sp. is widely distributed throughout the Arctic regions of the Northern Hemisphere, with several species having significant medicinal properties. The article discusses the possible use of hairy root cultures for the production of Rhodiola secondary metabolites, including salidroside and rosavins, which have demonstrated significant pharmacological activity in various studies. The use of elicitation and genetic engineering techniques to boost secondary metabolite production in Rhodiola hairy roots is also explored. Overall, the article highlights the potential of Rhodiola hairy root cultures as a valuable source of secondary metabolites with medicinal properties. However, despite some studies Rhodiola hairy root induction and culturing still remains highly unexplored.
Effect of biochar and inorganic fertilizer on the quality of beetroot (Beta vulgaris L.) in Kenya
Authors: Kwizera E. , Mungai N. W. , Opiyo A. M. , Niyokuri N. A.
Published: July 2024

Despite its health benefits, the production and quality of beetroot is still low in Kenya due to the application of non-recommended rates of fertiliser and soil amendment. This research aimed at contributing to the improvement of the beetroot quality in Kenya. It was designed to determine the effects of biochar and NPK (17-17-17) on the quality of beetroot in Kenya. An RCBD factorial experiment was conducted at Egerton University farm, Kenya, for two seasons.  Biochar (0, 5, 10 t/ha) and NPK (0, 200, 300 and 400 kg/ha) were applied together before planting. Data were collected on beetroot diameter, total phenolics, total soluble solids, calcium, iron and phosphorus contents and analysed using SAS statistical software. The co-application of biochar and NPK significantly (p≤0.05) increased the beetroot diameter, iron, calcium, phosphorus, TSS and phenolics content in season two and not in season one. The sole application of biochar showed a significant increase in the iron content of beetroot in season one. However, biochar did not have a significant effect on beetroot diameter, mineral content, TSS and phenolics content of beetroot in season two. The sole application of NPK at 200, 300 and 400 kg/ha significantly (p≤0.05) increased the diameter of beetroot and iron content in both seasons one and two and also significantly improved the calcium and phosphorus content in season two. These NPK levels were not statistically different from each other, but different from the control. It is therefore recommended to apply NPK and biochar for quality beetroot.
Using Data Visualization Techniques to Assess Perception of Professionalism, Professional Identity and Development: A Case Study on Closed-Type Questionnaires
Authors: Fotopoulou Vasiliki , Fotopoulos Spiros
Published: July 2024

Introduction. Professional identity, professionalism, and professional development are concepts that attract research interest over the years. The concepts are complex, multi-faceted, evolving over time, and varying depending on the pre-primary teachers’ (i.e., preschool educators’) and primary school teachers’ context. The conceptualization by teachers themselves is of particular interest.
Goal. Explore the use of artificial intelligence techniques and specifically dimensionality reduction methods, in analyzing in-service teachers’ perceptions of the three concepts as captured in closed-type questions with Likert-scale responses.
Methods of the Research. Model Likert-scale responses of closed-type questionnaire as multi-dimensional question space. Apply dimensionality reduction techniques to visualize responses in two dimensions. Translate back question distances into theoretical concepts and identify unexplored topics.
Results. The dimensionality reduction disclosed novel correlations between the concepts and their components, not previously reported in published literature, where classical statistical analysis was employed.
Conclusions. We confirm the applicability and usefulness of the dimensionality reduction method for the analysis of human responses in closed-type questionnaires. Further, we identify through dimensionality reduction two novel research questions that should be further studied in the future.
Study on Growth of Silver Carp (Hypophthalmichthys Molitrix) fed by Diatoma Microalgae in Pond
Authors: F.S Tahami
Published: July 2024

The common method of fertilizing to increase live food (microalgae) in Hypophthalmichthys molitrix ponds has disadvantages, including the fact that fertilizers increase the population of microalgae of all types (toxic and non-toxic) without human control and thus can cause growth. Unwanted to become harmful algae. This study was carried out at the same time with the beginning of the summer season and breeding of silver carp, with the aim of enriching the microalgae composition of warm-water fish breeding ponds located in Mazandaran province. Growth rate was calculated according to the treatments. 100 young of 90g Silver Carp were stored in each pond. Experiments were performed in circular concrete ponds with a diameter of 6 meters and a water height of 1 meter. Different microalgae compositions (1: 70% chlorella, 30% diatoma, 2: 70% diatoma, 30% chlorella and 3: control of natural algae composition of the area) were fed during the experiment. In this study, the growth rate of Silver Carp in different densities of Diatoma and Chlorella algae was evaluated in combination with different percentages in the pond environment and at the end of the experiment, survival percentage, fish growth rate, specific growth rate and average daily growth were calculated. Ponds whose fish were water-enriched with Diatoma microalgae with a density of 70% had higher growth (survival rate, fish growth rate, specific growth rate and average daily growth). Also, according to this study, since one of the condition for having a healthy farmed fish is to have a healthy and proper nutrition, so it is necessary to increase the share of edible microalgae Diatoma in the breeding environment of these fish to produce more and higher quality of these fish.

Legal Writing Manual
Authors: Tanner Susan , Roderick Ryan
Published: July 2024

In an effort to teach law students to “think like a lawyer” and develop their professional identities, attention has turned to helping students self-regulate their learning. To encourage self-regulated learning among her first-year law students, one of us (Tanner) adapted a self-regulated learning prompt developed by the other (Roderick) to assign The Legal Writing Manual—a capstone project in her first-year legal writing course, which tasks students with instructing others in processes and practices for composing legal memoranda and appellate briefs. Each student’s manual is built upon previous analytical and self-reflective work carried out in a first-year legal writing course. The experience of articulating instructions for legal writing encourages students to self-regulate their learning by re-thinking knowledge and practices for legal writing.

The catalytic properties of systems based on [Pd(Cp)(L)n]m[BF₄]m (where Cp = η5-C5H5; n = 2, m = 1: L = tris(orthomethoxyphenyl)phosphine, triphenylphosphine, tris(2-furyl)phosphine (TFP), n = 1, m = 1: L = 1,1'-bis(diphenylphosphino)ferrocene, 1,3-bis(diphenylphosphino)propane, 1,4-bis(diphenylphosphino)butane, 1,5-bis(diphenylphosphino)pentane; n = 1, m = 2 or 3: L = 1,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)hexane) in the addition homoand copolymerization of norbornene (NB) and its derivatives have been studied. These complexes can be activated with the Lewis-acids (BF₃ ∙ OEt2 or AlCl3). The productivity of the [Pd(Cp)(PPh3)2][BF₄]/BF₃ ∙ OEt2 catalyst system in the polymerization of norbornene is up to 188800 molNB molPd⁻¹. The homopolymerization of 5-methoxycarbonylnorbornene and copolymerization of NB with 5-methoxycarbonylnorbornene or 5-phenylnorbornene were studied in the presence of BF₃ ∙ OEt2 and [Pd(Cp)(L)2][BF₄] (L = PPh3 or TFP). A hypothesis for the catalyst’s formation via the intramolecular rearrangement of the η5-Cp ligand into the η1-Cp form upon interaction with a Lewis acid is suggested. The structure of the [Pd(Cp)(TFP)2]BF₄ (I) was determined by X-ray diffraction. In the crystal structure of I, the palladium coordination sphere is characterized by a slight distortion of the square planar geometry of the central atom, and the cyclopentadiyl fragment is in an eclipsed conformation. Based on the XRD data, the steric hindrance of the TFP ligand was estimated (the cone angle is 149°).

State and prospects of development of the Russian criminal legislation
Authors: Rarog Alexey I.
Published: July 2024

The current version of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation contains a number of defects of a technical, systemic and criminal-political nature. This is not enough to adopt a fundamentally new Criminal Code, because the current state of Russian society does not require changing the conceptual foundations of criminal legislation based on the Constitution of the Russian Federation. When preparing a new version of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, it is necessary to carry out a complete revision of its General and Special parts in order to identify and eliminate defects, modernize the norms of Military Criminal Law in accordance with the principle of full codification of criminal legislation, and resolve the issue of recognizing or denying the death penalty as a type of criminal punishment by constitutional and legal means. According to the author, the actual ban on the use of the death penalty was carried out by the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation incorrectly.

On the effectiveness of digital dispute resolution through arbitration in England and Wales
Authors: Rusakova Ekaterina P. , Frolova Evgeniya E.
Published: July 2024

The intensive growth of the digital economy has created the prerequisites for the emergence of a new mechanism of communication through the barriers of time and borders, which has affected all areas of society, including the area of dispute resolution. The emergence of completely new objects of civil rights in the metaverse requires the legislator to develop a legal basis for their functioning. The need to create special mechanisms for resolving so-called digital disputes has been overdue for a long time, and their legal nature can be completely different, both related to the active integration of information and communication technology, and not arising in the field of finance, trade, intellectual property. It is quite obvious that the main features of such social relations are that their occurrence does not depend on time and boundaries. Thus, the way to resolve digital disputes should correspond to these specific features.
Foreign experience in resolving digital disputes indicates, that there is no reality in which they could be avoided. Even a well-created smart contract on the blockchain does not guarantee the absence of controversial situations. Here the problem arises of choosing an adequate way to resolve such disputes, which would meet the necessary conditions, namely, binding and enforceability, and most importantly, correspond to specific features.
The global community in the field of digital dispute resolution has chosen arbitration as the basis as the most common, flexible, independent and fast way to resolve disputes. The inclusion of an arbitration clause in smart contracts and the adoption of various rules for resolving digital disputes has become widespread. However even here there are legal conflicts and gaps in the regulation of digital rights, which requires the development of a single unified approach and its implementation into national legislation. In addition, the internal regulation of the dispute resolution procedure in the blockchain also creates a number of unresolved issues.
One of the most developed legal systems in the field of digital dispute resolution is traditionally England and Wales. Over the past few years, a number of by-laws have been adopted that have had a significant impact on the development of this area, as well as the reform of arbitration legislation have created all the prerequisites for creating the most favorable conditions for the parties to a digital dispute to submit the dispute to English arbitration and in accordance with the law of England and Wales.

Russian federalism as a preimage of the future global multi-polarity
Authors: Dobrynin Nikolay M.
Published: July 2024

The article represents the author’s effort to extract a key national and cultural particularity of the Russian federalism model. Taking into account a historical experience of the federative development in Russia as well as the traditions of the Russian school of federalism, it is concluded that the key particularity of the Russian federalism is not concerning just an utilitarian distribution of powers and functions between federal and sub-federal authorities; it is first of all providing the equality of intra-societal dialogue, based on a reciprocal respect of the different ethnos and nations, forming together the multinational Russian people and, as a consequence, the united Russian state. In this context, the author arguing an idea that namely the Russian federalism model should be observed as a realistic preimage of the future multi-polarity in the changing world order.
Problems of occurrence, termination and protection copyright for drafts of official documents
Authors: Kozlova Natalia V. , Filippova Sofya Yu.
Published: July 2024

The authors consider the peculiarities of the legal regime of official documents and their drafts. The article proposes the concept of a work as an object of copyright, highlights the features of the work. The authors substantiate the reasons for the lack of legal protection in relation to information messages, works of folk art, official documents, state symbols and signs. Based on the study of legal doctrine and judicial practice, the authors identify the legal regimes of draft official documents, determine the conditions for the lawful use of such projects. The authors conclude that in the case of sending a draft official document to the authorized body, the object is doubled from the moment the project begins to be used. After the adoption of an official document by the authorized body, such a document is excluded from legal protection and is not recognized as an object of copyright. The authors note that the withdrawal of official documents from legal protection does not exclude the possibility of creating protected works on their basis, in particular, composite, derivative works (collections, translations, etc.), for which an independent copyright of compilers, translators and other persons arises.
Legal protection of Lake Baikal from microplastics
Authors: Luneva Elena V.
Published: July 2024

The annual increase in microplastic pollution of Lake Baikal is a new environmental threat to a unique freshwater ecological system that requires a set of interrelated general (applies to the entire territory of Russia) and special (applies to the Baikal natural territory or its individual parts) legal measures. The forthcoming international and interstate decisions to reduce plastic and microplastic pollution, which will have an impact on the domestic regulation of environmental protection, including the protection of the ecosystems of the Baikal natural territory, are considered. In a systemic relationship, the existing, expected and recommended legal measures for the protection of Lake Baikal from primary and secondary microplastics are shown on the basis of foreign legislation. The consolidation in the Russian legislation of the missing general and special legal measures for the protection of Lake Baikal in relation to pollution with both primary and secondary microplastics is substantiated. It is proposed to create a special council that would coordinate the protective measures taken against microplastic pollution and other negative environmental impacts at the level of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, Mongolian aimags and their municipalities located within the entire catchment area of Lake Baikal.

Authors: Fauzi Abi , Liza Fitri
Published: July 2024

This research aims to analyze the style of satire (hijā’) used by Ibn Taymiyyah in his book titled "Qasīdah Lāmiyah (The Satirical Poem)". It is a work by Ibn Taymiyyah that contains satirical poetry directed towards those who questioned his scholarly identity. Hijā’ style is poetry used to mock other poets in a distinctive manner, often in the form of self-praise or disparagement of a group. However, since the advent of Islam, this style has frequently been used to defend Islam, whether individuals or groups, including scholars like Ibn Taymiyyah. This research employs a qualitative approach using content analysis method. Content analysis, according to Creswell, is a qualitative research method used to identify specific patterns or themes within text. The analysis results indicate that verses of satirical poetry (shiʿr hijâ) were found in Qasīdah Lāmiyah, consisting of 2 types of ethical satire (al-hijâ al-akhlâqî) and 14 verses of religious satire (al-hijâ al-dînî).

Influence Maximization using Triadic Closures, Communities, and Quotas
Authors:   , Fu Matthew
Published: July 2024

Online social networks have exploded in popularity in the last decade. In addition, traditional advertising methods such as television advertising have greatly decreased. This allows companies to utilize viral marketing more effectively. With viral marketing, companies can spread information on a product to a social network by reaching out to a small group of early adopters, who will go on to inform the people around them of the product. The problem is selecting the early adopters that can maximize the spread of influence. The Influence Maximization (IM) problem is finding a social network’s most influential (early adopters) starting nodes, called seed nodes. In most models, it is assumed that a pair of users are influencing each other based on a random or uniform probability. Recently, a new algorithm was proposed that assigns these probabilities using the structure of the neighborhood, and more specifically the triadic closure. Additionally, it utilizes triadic closures to determine the most influential nodes in a dataset. However, that algorithm can be slow for large datasets. We propose the Triadic Closure Influence Maximization with Communities and Quotas (TC-IMCQ ) algorithm which utilizes communities and quotas on the number of seeds per community to reduce the computation time. Our experimental results on 20 sets show a reduced time without sacrificing much of the spread.
Understanding Distracted Driving and Gaze Patterns in a Driving Simulator: Simple vs. Complex Challenges
Authors:   , Sannala Rishi Prabhat Narayana
Published: July 2024

Distracted driving has grown in criticality over the recent years, given the numerous distractions that drivers face today, and which have further been magnified by the proliferation of in-vehicle technologies and mobile devices. Such distractions can seriously compromise a driver's ability to be fully focused on the road and to carry out timely responses and informed decisions that are key in minimizing the risks of a crash and maximizing road safety. The general aim of the research is to observe how simple versus complex distractors affect driving performance and gaze patterns. The eyetracker used is the Tobii Pro Fusion, synchronized with an eye-tracking driving simulator, whereby the participant is run through various types of simulated driving sessions, including both simple and complex distraction scenarios. Eye-movement data and pupil dilation measurements will be analyzed to reveal gaze patterns and pupil dilation changes that signify a reallocation of attention off the road, together with decrements in driving performance. This study should add sensitivity to the typical distracted driving problem by comparing the effects of different types of distraction systematically. This information is also to further inform the development of intervention strategies aimed at the general public and public awareness campaigns targeted at reducing the associated risks of distracted driving within a complex, technology-dependent transportation environment.
Aharonov-Bohm experiments in magnetic field without the Landau levels
Authors: Pardy Miroslav ,   Department of Physical Electronics, and The Laboratory of the Plasma Physics, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic
Published: July 2024

We discuss the two-slit experiment and the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) experiment in the magnetic field, where an electron produces so called synchrotron radiation. In other words, the photons are emitted from the points of the electron trajectory and it means that the trajectory of electron is visible in the synchrotron radiation spectrum. The axiomatic system of quantum mechanics does not enable to define the trajectory of the elementary particle. The two-slit experiment and the AB experiment in magnetic field are the missing experiments of quantum mechanics. The extension of the discussion to the cosmical rays moving in the magnetic field of the Saturn magnetosphere and its rings is mentioned. It is related to the probe CASSINI.
The Hampton Court Maze and "Three Men in a Boat (to Say Nothing of the Dog)" by Jerome K. Jerome
Authors: Pet’ko Lyudmila ,   Academy of Labour, Social Relations and Tourism (Kyiv, Ukraine)
Published: July 2024

The author presents the Hampton Court Maze in the way of Tudor’s history studying. The maze remains a hugely popular part of the Hampton Court Palace, which is the oldest surviving hedge maze in the UK and the first to have been planted in the country. It dates back to the end of the 17th century, when it was thought to have been commissioned by William III in his final years as monarch. Hampton Court’s maze became a hit when the gardens were opened to the public in 1838, demonstrating the popularity of multicausal mazes. The Hampton Court Maze designed and planted by garden designers George London and Henry Wise. The palace and gardens are found in Richmond Upon Thames. The author discovers for students this amazing maze in England and loses yourself in some history along the way. Described a tour of three men in a boat by Jerome K. Jerome. Given some movies filmed by English writer Jerome K. Jerome’s humorous novel "Three Men in a Boat".
ПЕРСПЕКТИВНІ НАПРЯМИ ПІДВИЩЕННЯ ЕФЕКТИВНОСТІ ОБМЕЖЕННЯ ПОШИРЕННЯ ПОЖЕЖІ ПО ЗОВНІШНІХ ОГОРОДЖУВАЛЬНИХ КОНСТРУКЦІЯХ

Проблема. Протипожежні карнизи застосовуються, як один із найефективніших засобів обмеження поширення пожежі по зовнішніх огороджувальних конструкціях будівель. Простота конструкції протипожежного карнизу та відносно недорога вартість його влаштування дозволяє широко використовувати даний тип фасадної протипожежної перешкоди в сучасних технологіях будівництва.  Разом із тим, аналіз попередніх досліджень демонструє, що пряма форма протипожежного карниза створює передумови для виникнення негативних явищ, пов’язаних із характером поширення полум’я на  вищерозташовані поверхи. Таким чином постає питання розглянути перспективні напрями підвищення ефективності обмеження пожежі по зовнішніх огороджувальних конструкціях шляхом застосування  протипожежних карнизів, які можуть не тільки обмежувати пожежу та її небезпечні чинники, але і відводити їх від площини фасаду у простір. Мета роботи – визначення перспективних напрямків підвищення ефективності обмеження пожежі по зовнішніх огороджувальних конструкціях за допомогою протипожежних карнизів.Методи дослідження. Під час проведення роботи використано аналітичний метод досліджень для проведення аналізу актуальних джерел інформації щодо параметрів, структури, інших характеристик досліджуваного об'єкта. Також використано теоретичні методи дослідження, що передбачало вивчення сучасних наукових публікацій, нормативних документів та технічної літератури за  напрямком дослідження.Основні результати дослідження. Приведено та систематизовано основні типи фасадних систем та проаналізовано потенційні можливості застосування відповідних фасадних протипожежних перешкод  для обмеження зовнішніх пожеж у будівлях. Запропоновано перспективні шляхи підвищення ефективності протипожежних карнизів, а саме представлено гіпотезу, що протипожежні карнизи можуть не  тільки обмежувати пожежу та її небезпечні чинники, але і відводити їх від площини фасаду будівлі у простір, тим самим знижуючи потенційно небезпечний вплив зовнішньої пожежі. Відзначено проблемні  аспекти оцінювання ефективності обмеження поширення пожежі ззовні будівлі та перелік критеріїв, які можливо застосовувати під час оцінювання ефективності протипожежних карнизів різних типів. Висновки. Проведено аналіз типів фасадних систем, які доцільно обладнувати фасадними протипожежними перешкодами з врахуванням їх об’ємно-конструктивних параметрів та існуючим типам  ротипожежних карнизів. Приведено переваги пасивних та активних фасадних протипожежних перешкод та відзначено можливі напрями підвищення ефективності їх застосування під час будівництва.  Визначено та обґрунтовано шляхи підвищення ефективності обмеження поширення пожежі по фасадах будівель шляхом застосування більш досконалих протипожежних карнизів з обтічною формою для  відведення теплового потоку та небезпечних чинників пожежі від зони фасаду.

"OBJECTIVES: This study is concerned for the most part with isolating factors and characteristics which determine, or are associated with, the overall finanical management ability of the farm business operator. Specifically, these objectives are: 1. To determine which factors and characteristics of the farm business are most closely associated with the financial management performance of the farm business operator in each of the various types of farming included. 2. To determine which, if any, of these factors and characteristics are common to all of the types of fanning studied. 3. To develop a predictive model which might serve as a tool in indicating the financial management ability of a farm business operator, given the necessary records of past performance. II. HYPOTHESES The study is based on the following hypotheses: 1. That factors and characteristics which affect, orare associated with successful and unsuccessful ventures in farm and financial management can be identified within each type of farming. 2. That some of these factors and characteristics are common to all of the five types of farming included in the study. 3. That analytical tools and procedures can be developed for formulating a predictive model useful as a tool in the area of farm management and farm credit in evaluating the potential financial management performance, of an individual farmer before loan funds are committed."--Page 6.
