A new species of possible archipolypodan millipedefrom the Carboniferous of the Netherlandswith unusually long tergites
Authors: HAUG Joachim T. , FRAAIJE René H. B. , HAUG Carolin
Published: October 2023

Millipedes have a long evolutionary history, with the oldest presumed fossils of Diplopoda de Blainville in Gervais, 1844 being from the Silurian and the first definite fossil record originating from Devonian deposits. The phylogeny of Diplopoda is not fully resolved yet, especially not concerning fossil representatives. At the same time, already in the Palaeozoic millipedes showed quite a morphological and presumably also ecological variety. We describe here a new species of a Carboniferous millipede from the Westphalian A of the Netherlands, Lauravolsella willemeni n. gen., n. sp., a possible representative of Archipolypoda (†Archipolypoda Scudder, 1882). The species is based on a single specimen, preserved with part and counterpart, which both show a three-dimensional preservation. The specimen has unusually long tergites, in normal life position covering most of the following segment. These long tergites might have been beneficial when performing defensive enrolling. In extant millipedes, enrolling is usually facilitated by softer areas between the sternites, allowing for a certain degree of ventral compression. In the new fossil, the sclerotic sternites occupy the entire length of the ventral side of the segment, not allowing for any type of compression. The new fossil therefore demonstrates another solution for the mechanical challenges during enrolment and increases the morphological diversity of Carboniferous millipedes.

Published: October 2023

O presente artigo apresenta possíveis caminhos para abordagem de questões relacionadas à Região de Gestão do Planejamento 03 – Porto Alegre, utilizando como categoria de análise o conceito geográfico de paisagem. Como ponto de partida temos as premissas do documento público denominado Plano Diretor de Desenvolvimento Urbano e Ambiental da cidade de Porto Alegre/ RS, no Brasil. Após iremos destacar por meio de registros fotográficos as percepções das paisagens, sobre as distintas formas de apropriação, usos do solo urbano e consequentemente, os conflitos ocorridos nesta região. Com base nessas análises, iremos pontuar questões sobre a ocupação da área da planície de inundação do Rio Gravataí. E, para além, faremos a análise acerca dos impactos da poluição sonora oriunda da urbanização, nas paisagens que circundam o Quilombo da Família Machado. O procedimento metodológico nos auxilia na análise dessas paisagens imagéticas e sonoras, captadas por dispositivos tecnológicos tais como: fotografias, imagens de satélite, gravações de áudio e vídeo. Todos estes procedimentos estão associados à leitura do Plano Diretor de Desenvolvimento Urbano e Ambiental, em sua versão atual, para maior compreensão sobre aspectos da Região 3. Também serão utilizadas as ferramentas do ArcGis e do Google Earth para elaboração de mapas e imagens dessa região do município.  Ao fazer as análises dos processos que contribuíram para as configurações atuais da Região 3 de Porto Alegre, tivemos a experiência de elaborarmos uma breve reflexão sobre os possíveis impactos dos processos de urbanização nessa parte da cidade em termos socioambientais, sobre os conflitos urbanos relacionados aos processos de desocupação e realocação das populações da periferia. Observamos as intervenções antrópicas em um ecossistema vulnerável, por causa das formações geomorfológicas de planícies de inundação e solos hidromórficos (configuração natural). Essa pesquisa nos possibilitou um contato mais aprofundado na dinâmica dessa região, a qual faz fronteira com o perímetro urbano, que ainda, preserva uma biodiversidade de valor incalculável.

Authors: Yap Marvelou , Yap Maria Noe-Mae Fe , Seniel John Glen
Published: October 2023

This study aims to identify mangrove species in Guang-guang, Dahican, Mati, and Davao Oriental. Guang-guang served as the sampling site of the study. Three stations were established in each forest type or zone. The presence or absence of a particular mangrove species within a 100m2 plot and their identification code were recorded. Plots were randomly established in each forest type or zone. Mature mangroves (DBH > 4 cm) found in each plot were counted and measured for diameter at breast height 1.5m. If the density of saplings (< 4cm DBH and height > 1m) was high and uniform, a 5m x 5m plot was established inside the 10m x 10m plot, and the saplings were counted. The density of seedlings (height < 1m) was high and uniform. A 1m x 1m subplot was established for actual counts. There were nine mangrove species, identified these were Ceriops tagal, Rhizophora stylosa, Rhizophora apiculata, Bruguiera gymnorhiza, Sonneratia alba, Avicennia officinalis, Pemphis acidula, Aegiceras corniculatum, and Avicennia alba. These were common mangrove species found in the study area.

Coastal ecosystems are where land and water converge creating a distinct environment hosting a rich diversity of marine organisms. This study aimed to determine the zonation pattern of mangroves and the trophic relationship among the associated macrobenthos in the local coastal ecosystem of Guang-guang, City of Mati, Davao Oriental. The establishment of the study area and gathering of field data were conducted on December 2, 2017, a period of one day during low tide. There was an absence of zonation pattern on the mangal due to Rhizophora stylosa being the only mangrove species present. The marine gastropods observed on the mangal were Monilea callifera, Pomalea canaliculata, Crassostrea iredalei, Trochus pyramis, Spisula solidissima, Zeacumantus lutulentus, Cominella glandiformis, Diloma subrostrata and Haustrum scabina. On the adjacent intertidal zone, the seagrasses and macroalgae found were Enhalus acoroides, Thalassia hemprichii, Padina gymnospora, Halophila ovalis, and Halimeda sp., and the presence of the associated macrobenthos starfish, hermit crab, Philippine sand dollar, mud crab, blue mussel, marine gastropod, shrimp, brittle star, fish and jellyfish. The area had a high macrobenthic diversity with 1.34 on the Shannon-Wiener diversity index and 0.6 on Simpson’s diversity index. On the highest trophic level of the coastal ecosystem food chain are the producers including mangroves, sea grasses and algae and the lowest on the trophic level are the tertiary consumers and apex predators are birds, turtles, and larger fishes.

Authors: Chinowski Bartłomiej , Mokrogulski Mateusz
Published: October 2023

The article shows the impact of market and regulatory environment on the ability of households to purchase dwellings in Poland in the period from the second quarter of 2006 to the second quarter of 2013. In accordance with the relevant literature on the subject, financial supervision regulations allow to avoid the formation of the so-called “Bubbles” in the property market. The survey was conducted for the Polish market in the form of simulation. It shows that the greatest impact on the creditworthiness of households is the interest rate and as important factors can also be mentioned the amount of wages and real estate prices. The study also shows that the limits on rate loans are more important in terms of creditworthiness than the limit of the maximum period of the loan. The described regularities are observed in all surveyed Polish cities.

A note on n-quasi-umbilical hypersurfaces in almost Hermitian manifolds
Authors: Banaru M. B.
Published: October 2023

In the present note, we consider the introduced by Lidia Vasil’evna Stepanova notion of an -quasi-umbilical hypersurface in an almost Her­mitian manifold. We show that the notion of an -quasi-umbilical hyper­surface in an almost Hermitian manifold is connected with the notion of a minimal hypersurface in this manifold. Using the classical theory of minimal hypersurfaces in Riemannian manifolds and Kirichenko — Stepanova general theory of almost contact metric hypersurfaces in almost Hermitian manifolds, we establish that an -quasi-umbilical hypersurface of a nearly Kählerian manifold is minimal if and only if this hypersurface is totally umbilical. Taking into account the connection between the notions of a minimal hypersurface and of an -quasi-umbilical hypersurface in an almost Her­mitian manifold, we conclude that some well-known results in the theory of almost contact metric hypersurfaces in almost Hermitian manifolds can be reformulated. The problem of the existence of a non-umbilical minimal -quasi-umbilical hypersurface of a quasi-Kählerian manifold is posed.
On the geometry of sub-Riemannian manifolds equip­ped with a canonical quarter-symmetric connection
Authors: Galaev S. V.
Published: October 2023

In this article, a sub-Riemannian manifold of contact type is under­stood as a Riemannian manifold equipped with a regular distribution of codimension-one and by a unit structure vector field orthogonal to this distribution. This vector field is called a structural. On a sub-Riemannian manifold of contact type, a quarter-symmetric connection is defined, which is associated with an endomorphism that preserves the distribution of the sub-Riemannian manifold. It is proved that if the connection under study is metric, then the endomorphism associated to it is uniquely de­fined. The structure of the associated endomorphism is found. In the case when the structure vector field is a field of infinitesimal isometries, the quarter-symmetric connection is called the canonical N-connection. An expression is found for the curvature tensor of the canonical N-connection in terms of the Riemann curvature tensor. The properties of the Schouten curvature tensor are investigated, which provide, in particular, the neces­sary symmetries of the curvature tensor of an N-connection for its sec­tional curvature to be well-defined. A relation between the sectional cur­vature of the canonical N-connection and the sectional curvature of the Levi-Civita connection is found. Necessary and sufficient conditions are found under which the sectional curvature of the N-connection and the sectional curvature of the Levi-Civita connection coincide.
Výchovný zásah v mladých smrkových porostech jako nástroj mitigace globální klimatické změny?
Authors: Černý Jakub
Published: October 2023

Although the ongoing global climate change elicits a shift in tree species composition along the vertical gradient, very extensive areas of pure Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst.] stands still occur out of their ecological optimum in the Czech Republic and Central Europe. Adaptive measures should be applied in these stands to promote productivity and stability. All measurements were performed in the 2018–2021 period on three permanent research plots located in the North-East part of Bohemia (Czech Republic). Based on the results, the most favourable way to increase solar radiation use efficiency expressed by canopy production index (CPI) and leaf area efficiency (LAE) is in-time heavy precommercial thinning application. The highest CPI and LAE values were observed in the Norway spruce stand after heavy pre-commercial thinning application (CPI = 2.00 and LAE = 1.59). In contrast, CPI = 1.26 and LAE = 0.99 were observed after the mild one, and CPI = 0.73 and LAE = 0.60 were reported in the control treatment with no silvicultural intervention. Overall, the presented results indicate a positive effect of heavy pre-commercial thinning on CPI and LAE in pure young Norway spruce stands. However, more effort should be devoted to studying the impact of different pre-commercial thinning intensities on solar radiation use efficacy across a broader gradient of site conditions, and future work should also be extended to other tree species.

Balancing opportunity: Between the presumption of innocence and res judicata
Authors: Nenadić Svetlana , Miljuš Ivana
Published: October 2023

The criminal-political justification of the principle of opportunity is undoubtedly of significant importance for criminal justice, with multiple and diverse objectives and functions. Despite the fact that the application of this criminal procedural mechanism in public prosecution practice has been ongoing for over two decades, research results indicate that essential questions regarding its legal and procedural nature remain veiled in dilemmas even today - whether the suspect subject to its application should be considered innocent, and whether the decision to dismiss a criminal complaint based on the principle of opportunity can be equated with the res judicata. The paper presents specific research results regarding the interpretation of the effects of applying the principle of opportunity in criminal proceedings and the legal effects of decisions to dismiss criminal complaints based on the principle of opportunity in civil proceedings for compensation of damages arising from a "criminal act." By analyzing the concepts expressed in criminal legal science and utilizing the comparative legal method to a certain relevant extent, the authors aim to, starting from the procedural guarantee of the presumption of innocence, highlight the risks of equating the decision to dismiss a criminal complaint based on the application of the principle of opportunity with a final judgment. The primary de lege ferenda proposal is to establish a prohibition on criminal prosecution for the same criminal offense in cases of applying the principle of opportunity.
Awareness of halal products among the general population
Authors: Uršulin-Trstenjak Natalija , Dugonjić Aldin , Kanižaj-Rogina Željka
Published: October 2023

Demand for halal products and services is constantly increasing on the world market. The 50,981 people who lives in Croatia are Muslims (1.32% of the total population), with the fact of the presence of an increasing number of workers from countries such as Bangladesh, as well as the arrival of tourists who demand halal products and services. Currently, 95 manufacturers with over 5,500 products are halal certified in Croatia. The aim of this paper is to determine how halal products are recognized among the population and used as such, taking into account their increasing availability on the market. The research is conducted through an anonymous survey questionnaire on social networks. A halal product does not only have a religious connotation. On the global market, they are becoming increasingly so-called. lifestyle of people whose eating and other lifestyle habits (if they are not already vegan or vegetarian) imply a more ethical attitude towards the killing of animals, quality, food safety, proper nutrition, the use of cosmetic and pharmaceutical products, because such products do not contain certain fats, gelatin and additives.
Halal industry and standardization
Authors: Salam Sadath , Mohd Hamzah , Muflih Betania , Jaiyeoba Haruna
Published: October 2023

The multiplicity of standardization in halal industry poses social and economic challenges. Shariah scholars are the major stakeholders in Halal Assurance System (HAS), aspiring towards uniform standardization by educating all stakeholders on the concept of halal (lawful). The halal standard is surrounded by confusion, as there are different governments, cultures, halal policies, schools of thought, laws and regulations, public interests and logos. International Halal Accreditation Forum (IHAF), based in UAE is acting as the apex body of current HAS and is focused on empowering and coordinating halal accreditation and certification bodies around the globe to unify its standardization process by establishing common protocols and achieving a robust zero tolerance HAS. The purpose of this research is to review and compare the differences in halal standards of IHAF with JAKIM-Malaysia, MUI-Indonesia, MUIS-Singapore and SMIIC-Organization of Islamic Cooperation and some certification bodies in European countries such as Croatia. Halal industry must ensure participation from the shariah scholars well versed in modern science to achieve universal standardized HAS.

Published: October 2023

This paper presents some statistical tests that can be used to test hypotheses of interest for implementing new technologies and improving the efficiency, functionality and business performance of business systems or companies. DEA is a non-parametric technique based on linear programming for measuring the efficiency of decision-making units (DMU) with heterogeneous inputs/outputs. Generally speaking, DEA has a possible large number of inputs and outputs, and the essential problem is that it is often not clear which inputs and which outputs should be chosen when applied to a real problem, that is, when evaluating the efficiency of the system. In tests, the deviation from the DEA borderline can be viewed as a stochastic variable. The DEA estimate is certainly biased in finite samples (debatable statistics), while the expected value of the DEA efficiency is almost certainly the true value of the parameter in large samples (complete statistics). The application of a flexible DEA structure is significant, if there are situations where insufficient information can prevent the use of parametric statistical tests in the processes and outcomes of management and production. The possibility of using DEA analysis in researching the efficiency of constituent units (branches; decision-making unit - DMU) of business systems should be taken into account in research concerning the functionality of business systems and their optimization in terms of productivity, efficiency and functionality. The research results in this paper are presented in tabular and graphical form.
Blind and visually impaired persons in health care: Analysis of problems and potential solutions
Authors: Brestovački-Svitlica Branislava
Published: October 2023

The aim of this review is to analyze, based on relevant scientific sources, the problems faced by blind and partially sighted people in health care, as well as to identify opportunities for solutions to these challenges. Blindness and visual impairment are serious health conditions that can significantly affect an individual's quality of life. These individuals often face numerous challenges when accessing health care. Accessibility of the physical environment, communication with healthcare professionals, access to information, and use of medical devices are some of the key issues. Improving access to health care can be realized through the application of technological solutions, education of health workers, provision of accessible communication and information, and the inclusion of blind and partially sighted people in health care planning.
Rudenica and its place in the Moravian Serbia architecture
Authors: Gugolj Branka
Published: October 2023

Built at the turn of the 14th century, as an endowment of nobleman Vukašin and his wife Vukosava, Rudenica attracted the attention of scholars of Serbian medieval architecture as early as the 19th century. The hardships of the church, as well as lack of data about its original appearance, resulted in two failed restorations. Based on historical sources, preserved and partially published archival documentation, as well as comparisons with chronologically and topographically similar monuments, the previous findings are reexamined in the paper, in order to determine its place in the development of the Moravian Serbia architecture.
Iconography of the Old Testament prophets and the Virgin Kyriotissa on the east wall of the Gračanica exonarthex
Authors: Dimitrijević Aleksandra , Ratković-Stevović Jelena
Published: October 2023

The exonarthex of Gračanica has a rich and complex painted programme, which is a testimony to the medieval kingdom of Serbia ruled by the Nemanjić dynasty, after the arrival of the Ottomans in the Serbian regions. This painted programme has been preserved to a certain extent to this day, although the traces of the ravages of time are clearly visible; it is still possible to read and reconstruct the entire thematic programme, as well as to recognise the iconographic and stylistic features of this part of the church. The exonarthex was painted out several times, as it was repeatedly damaged during the turbulent and destructive centuries (14th, 15th, 16th). It was probably fresco painted after its construction (probably around 1330), but there are no physical remains or written sources testifying to this, while today two layers of fresco paintings are clearly visible in the Gračanica exonarthex. The iconography and themes of the younger layer of fresco paintings from 1570 form a more complex and intricate unity in relation to the one that was there originally. The new frescoes have a clear theological background, devotion to the Virgin Mary, who was also the patron of the Gračanica church. The depiction of the cycle of the Virgin celebrates the role of the Virgin in the Incarnation, foretold in prophetic visions. Almost the entire painted programme around the east portal of the Gračanica exonarthex is dedicated to the Mother of God; additionally, some related depictions are shown there, like the Mother of God on the throne with Christ Emmanuel on her lap surrounded by archangels in the lunette above the entrance. The entire composition was introduced with the theme "From above the prophets have prophesied thee", as shown by the painted busts of six prophets (Isaiah, Solomon, David, Moses, Aaron and Jeremiah) entwined by a decorative vine on the inside of the arch, at the top of which is a waist-high image of Christ giving blessings with both hands. The main aim of this paper is to point out the importance of the restoration and painting of Serbian monasteries during the Ottoman rule since these topics are insufficiently represented in Serbian art history. The paper provides an iconographic analysis of the scenes dedicated to the celebration of the Virgin in the Gračanica exonartex, as well as their theological background.
A Comparison of Numerical Models for Alignment Analysis of Shaftlines with Water Lubricated Rubber Bearings
Authors: Dobbs Greg , Laukiavich Craig , Sheppert Rick
Published: October 2023

This study investigates three different approaches for calculating alignment of a shaftline with water lubricated rubber bearings. The baseline model looks at a standard one dimensional (1D) analysis of a shaftline with rigid, knife-edge supports that is commonly used in the marine industry today. This 1D model is then expanded to include a distributed elastic support model for the rubber bearings. Finally, a full three dimensional (3D), hyperelastic model is generated using the commercially available Ansys Mechanical. These three models are compared against one another to determine the pros and cons of each model, focusing on the potential oversights of some of the more basic models. This study aims to educate the industry on the importance of using a proper alignment analysis model with water lubricated rubber bearings.
Innovative Solutions To Reduce The Transfer of Structure Borne Sound in Couplings

Published: October 2023

Today's powertrains for marine applications are characterized by their high-power density in combination with the requirements for a light construction and the lowest possible acoustic transmission. This is no longer coupled only to military vessels or luxury yachts but is becoming more and more influential due to supra-regional laws.The primary structure-borne sound path is transmitted from the engine over the engine mounts into the ship's hull. This obvious path is currently already well attenuated and for the most part does not present noise vibration problems. Therefore, the secondary path from the engine via the coupling into the gearbox or the first main bearing and then into the ship's hull becomes more and more important. For this reason, torsionally flexible couplings and misalignment couplings are required, which can also minimize the transfer of structure borne sound while transmitting high torque levels. To fulﬁll all these partly contradictory demands, innovative approaches are essential. In this paper, the development of a lightweight misalignment coupling made of a combination of glass and carbon ﬁbers, and elastomer layers will be presented. In combination with an optimized torsionally flexible couplings high acoustic requirements for marine drives can be met.
Study on the Influence of Direction of Rotation of Propellers in a Push-Pull Contra-Rotating Propulsor
Authors: Mohan Mahish
Published: October 2023

Model Test is a key part of the entire ship design process. The interaction between the propulsor and the hull in these tests is expressed in terms of standard coefficients and forms an important design aspect which affects the final performance of the vessel. Even though these coefficients give important insight for the designers about the overall performance of the propulsor, however, it still lacks detailed information on the sources of these coefficients. The paper studies two design aspects namely the direction of rotation of propellers and the asymmetric strut of a Push-Pull CRP. The study is carried out using a hybrid Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach where a vortex-lattice code (VLM) is coupled to a RANS solver. The code is validated against model test results before a detailed flow analysis is made. The study shows that the choice and design of the asymmetric strut are very critical in Push-Pull CRP and hold a significant impact on the loading of the pair of propellers. The choice of direction of rotation of propellers is also quite important to ensure a favourable inflow condition to the strut and the load distribution on propellers. The impact of both these aspects on the design of propellers cannot always be determined by propulsive coefficients measured at model tests and needs a detailed CFD analysis.

O presente apontamento tem a função principal de estimular a reflexão individual e auxiliar a mudança de condutas comportamentais lesivas ao policial com a promoção de discussões institucionais a cerca da incorporação de exame psicológico preventivo na realização dos periódicos médicos anuais e bienais para policiais da ativa. É relembrado que existe uma necessidade de atualização e adequação da legislação que venha promover um ajustamento fático-normativo a vivência real dos policiais e sua atividade. O fato apontado supõe que não existe uma conscientização do público interno e também da administração em relação aos efeitos sofridos com a atuação final do policial, sendo essa, uma situação a ser repensada e analisada com cautela, pois pode ser considerada uma situação de análise minuciosa para uma real aplicação da norma ou adequação dessa a realidade atual. Com este questionamento poderá surgir uma provocação na administração em relação a real valorização do policial para deixar de identificá-lo como um mero elemento numérico e sim enxergá-lo como profissional e indivíduo dotado de particularidades sociais ocultas às vistas da sociedade e da administração.
