THE PROBLMATICS OF HISTORY IN HISTORICAL–SCIENTIFIC CONCEPTION OF MOSES KHORENATSI
Authors: KOCHARYAN ROMIK
Published: October 2021

The fundamental problematics in the historical–philosophical conception of Moses Khorenatsi is revealed in this article, using hermeneutical methodology and, as such, by the help of interpretative philosophical analysis. To understand history principally and essentially means to understand the genuine “said” by historical text and to understand truth–denoting–meaning and then to get the advice of wisdom in the meaning. It is revealed the fundamental problematics for the history of Moses Khorenatsi: “understanding and interpretively explicating the meaning of the truthfulness of history as such, as well as the advice of wisdom in that meaning”. This all–embracing and complete problematics consists of two components: understanding and interpretively explicating, first of all, the conception of history–science and then the wisdom of content in the historically “said”, that of truth–of–being of history as such, in general, and concretely of history of the Armenians – viewed by this conception of history–science.
Private Sector Savings
Authors: Pitonáková Renáta
Published: October 2021

The majority of household savings are in the form of bank deposits. It is therefore of interest for credit institutions to tailor their deposit policy for getting finances from non-banking entities and to provide the private sector with the loans that are necessary for investment activities and consumption. This paper deals with the determinants of the saving rate of the private sector of Slovakia. Economic, financial and demographic variables influence savings. Growth of income per capita, private disposable income, elderly dependency ratio, real interest rate and inflation have a positive impact on savings, while increases in public savings indicate a crowding out effect. The inflation rate implies precautionary savings, and dependency ratio savings for bequest. There are also implications for governing institutions deciding on the implementation of appropriate fiscal and monetary operations.

Authors: Vnoučková Lucie , Urbancová Hana , Smolová Helena
Published: October 2021

With the increasing importance of higher education, there is also growing public concern about its productivity. Therefore, the aim of the study is to evaluate the key internal quality management processes by student evaluation and to reveal the key factors of an effective internal quality process management. The indicators used are based on student satisfaction with the education process. The results are based on a quantitative survey using questionnaire data collection within a sample of students, and qualitative research within target groups. Descriptive statistics and two dimensional statistical methods were used to evaluate the quantitative results. The results show student evaluation of five key areas of the internal quality process management evaluation: leadership and strategic planning, student and stakeholder focus, measurement of student learning outcomes, human resource planning and educational process management. A limitation of the study is its narrow focus on a case study of a single private university.
The Connection between Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Respect for Human Rights
Authors: Čertanec Ana
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this article is to study the connection between corporate respect for human rights and corporate social responsibility. The author argues that business entities have a responsibility to respect human rights and that this responsibility forms part of their corporate social responsibility. The author defends the view that business and human rights issues are distinct from corporate social responsibility issues in their legal nature and content, while the strategic approach in the implementation of these concepts is the same. The author further examines whether voluntary corporate social responsibility initiatives include human rights, and how society understands the connection between the two. The conclusions of the article shed light on the interconnection between these two terms.
Economic and Legal Features of Digital Markets
Authors: Funta Rastislav
Published: October 2021

Digitization has changed economic activity in many ways. While digitization has contributed to a very dynamic development of markets and competition, concerns are also being expressed about powerful positions of some companies. The digital transformation poses new challenges for companies, consumers, politics and society. Competition policy is also required to address these developments and to adapt existing competition law, if necessary. The following analysis of digital markets showed that it is not possible, in general, to make concrete competition policy statements or even to give detailed recommendations for the antitrust analysis. The aspects are to be considered separately and in detail when examining search engines, social networks, trading platforms and other business models. On the other hand, data (and data analysis) should stand in the centre of competition law analysis due to their importance for the economic success of digital market companies.
Intelligence Information within Criminal Proceedings
Authors: Vaško Adrián
Published: October 2021

The purpose of this article is to study the possibility of using intelligence in criminal proceedings in the Slovak Republic. The author examines the current legislation related to the examined issue in the context of criminal procedural law. The aim of the study is to analyze and justify the possibility of using intelligence in criminal proceedings, especially in the taking of evidence. In the context of the current security challenges, this is a serious issue which is currently relatively little developed in theory. The author concluded that the use of intelligence information is possible and applied in criminal proceedings in the Slovak Republic. This is justified by the specific provisions of the legislation in force and by the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. In this context, it can be expected that the importance of intelligence in criminal proceedings will increase.
Damages for Personal Injuries – in Labour and Service Law
Authors: Skoruša Leopold , Horák Ondřej , Vičar Radim , Zbořil Tomáš
Published: October 2021

The contribution will be devoted to the comparison of damages for non-proprietary loss in public and private sphere. The regulation of service relationship will be analysed in public area, in private area the legal regulation of health injuries in labour law. The aim of the contribution will be a critical analysis of the current state of legal regulation and the proposal de lege ferenda (approximation with labour law). The addressed question is of a fundamental importance for the area of public finances, the functioning of the public area and the enforcement of the rule of law. The historical-comparative method will be used. Particular attention will be paid to the transfer of damages for personal injury to the heir – while in service relationship, such claims terminate (not transferred to the heir), which was taken from the 1960s legislation. They do not terminate after the death in current private law, if recognized or at least claimed in court. Originally, the regulation of damages in public and private law was comparable; however, after the modernization of the private law (2012/14), the protection of persons in service and their relatives becomes weaker, even though it has traditionally been contrary to it in most institutes. Different legal regulations in labour and service law are baseless in the case of damages. The authors propose to modernize the relevant laws, to bring them closer to the Labour Code, both in the possibility of a reasonable increase in damages and in the transfer of damages for pain and diminished social function to the heir.
Entrepreneurial Intention in the Visegrad Countries
Authors: Gubik Andrea S. , Farkas Szilveszter
Published: October 2021

In order to boost students’ entrepreneurial activities, it is essential to identify the factors that form entrepreneurial intentions and to investigate how the development of these factors can be influenced. This paper attempts to explore the main drivers of entrepreneurial intentions and to examine national differences in students’ entrepreneurship by using the database of the GUESSS research project related to the Visegrad countries, namely Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. This paper adopts Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behaviour, according to which attitudes, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control influence entrepreneurial intentions.

The results of this research confirm the significant role that attitudes, social norms and perceived behavioural control play in shaping students’ entrepreneurial intentions. Differences can be experienced not only in the level of intentions, but also in the strength of each factor across Visegrad countries, which suggests that there is a need for solutions tailored the students’ needs in different Visegrad countries. Neither the age nor the gender that are frequently investigated in the literature can significantly increase the explanatory power of the Ajzen’s model. Their effect may be perceived in different attitudes and different behavioural control.
Growth and yield of onion (Allium cepa L.) as influenced by application of organic and inorganic fertilizers
Authors: Andishmand Abdul Bari , Noori Mohammad Safar
Published: October 2021

This study was carried out to ascertain the effects of organic manure (farmyard manure, poultry manure, and vermicompost) and chemical fertilizers NPK (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) on the growth and yield of onion. The research was consisting ten treatments with three replications. Different levels of nitrogen (0, 100, and 150 kg ha-1), phosphorus (0, 75, and 100 kg ha-1), potassium (0, 80, and 100 kg ha-1) fertilizers, and various rates of organic manures (20 ton ha-1 of farmyard manure, 20 t ha-1 of poultry manure and 15 t ha-1 of vermicompost) were applied to the soil at different combinations. The results of this study have shown that both inorganic fertilizers and organic manures significantly influenced all growth and yield parameters. Whereas, maximum plant height (50.50 cm) and bulb yield (30.75 t ha-1) were obtained at the combination of 20 t ha-1 farmyard manure + 150 kg ha-1 N + 100 kg ha-1 P2O5 + 100 kg ha-1 K2O. However, the minimum bulb yield (15.80 t ha-1) was observed with control where no fertilizer was applied. Therefore, application of 20 t ha-1 farmyard manure during field preparation followed by application of 150 kg ha-1 N + 100 kg ha-1 P2O5 + 100 kg ha-1 K2O can be recommended for optimal growth and maximum bulb yield of onion.
HUBUNGAN TALIBAN DAN CINA DALAM PERSPEKTIF HUKUM INTERNASIONAL (The Taliban and China Relations in International Law Perspective)
Authors: Zaki M. Reza Syariffudin , Sujatmoko Andrey
Published: October 2021

Sejak Taliban pimpinan Haibatullah Akhundzada menguasai Afghanistan pada pada 15 Agustus yang lalu, Cina tampaknya menjadi negara yang paling intens bekerjasama  dengan rezim yang berkuasa secara de facto itu. Berbeda dari negara-negara Barat yang cenderung mengambil jarak, tampaknya Cina mengambil sikap sebaliknya yang lebih akomodatif terhadap Taliban. Di sisi lain, pemerintahan Taliban sebagai rezim de facto yang sekarang berkuasa juga ingin menunjukkan citra baru dan berbeda dengan Taliban sebelumnya yang secara notorious berkuasa dengan brutal dalam kurun waktu 1996-2001 di bawah pimpinan Mohammad Omar. Tulisan ini akan membahas mengenai hubungan antara Cina dan Taliban menurut hukum internasional, kemudian soal pengakuan internasional terhadap pemerintahan Taliban di Afghanistan.
‘Patients with Cancer are Distressed!’ Indian Healthcare Provider Perspectives on Distress Screening and Referrals to Psycho-oncology Services – A Mixed Methods Study
Authors: Normen Michelle , Sahaya Femil E. , Kulkarni Kshitija , Vidhubala E. , Shewade Hemant D. , Kathiresan Jeyashree
Published: October 2021

Objectives:

Routine screening for distress is a guideline prescribed by the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) to adequately assess distress in a cancer setting. Our centre conducted routine screening but failed to utilize psycho-oncology services. Our aim was to assess the extent of self-reported distress, referrals to psycho-oncology services and healthcare provider perspectives about the existing distress management system and psycho-oncology services.

Materials and Methods:

We conducted a record review of adult patients (n=372) who reported to the Out-patient department of the tertiary cancer centre. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with fourteen healthcare providers. We used a concurrent mixed methods study design. Adult patients were screened for distress using NCCN-Distress Thermometer and problem checklist. Healthcare providers from different oncology specialties were interviewed and the data was analysed using descriptive thematic analysis.

Results:

Patients screened for distress were found to report moderate to extreme levels of distress (53.5%). The total referrals to psycho-oncology support services were low (8.6%). Interviews with healthcare providers revealed three major themes: Enablers, barriers and solutions for utilization of distress management system and psycho-oncology services.

Conclusions:

Moderate to extreme distress was found among patients routinely screened for distress, although there was poor utilization of distress management system and psycho-oncology support services due to time constraints, patient’s negative attitudes towards mental health referrals, generic screening tools and use of own clinical judgement to make referrals by healthcare providers. Future research warrants implementation of strategies to integrate psycho-oncology services into routine cancer care by focusing on improving visibility of services.

Published: October 2021

Single-domain antibody (sdAb) holds the promising strategies for diverse research and translational applications. Here, we describe a method for the adaptation of the in situ proximity ligation assay (isPLA) followed by sequencing (isPLA-seq) to facilitate screening of a high-sensitive, high-throughput sdAb library for a given protein at subcellular and single-cell resolution. Based on the sequence of complementarity-determining region 3 (CDR3), the recombinant sdAb can be produced for in vitro and in vivo utilities. This method provides a general means to identify the functional measure of sdAb and its complementary epitopes and its potential applications to investigate cellular processes.
munkaszüneti nap és a munkaidő megszervezésének kérdései
Authors: Pál Lajos
Published: October 2021

A tanulmány azt mutatja be, hogy munkaszüneti nap sajátos jogi természete milyen dogmatikai hatással van a munkaidő megszervezésére és díjazására. Ez a hatás abban a kettősségben ragadható meg, mely szerint a munkaszüneti nap egyfelől befolyásolja (csökkenti) a felek kötelességteljesítésének tartamát, de másfelől hatással van a tényleges teljesítés feltételeire is, elsősorban azért, mert munkaszüneti napra munkaidő csak különös feltételek mellett írható elő. De ez a kettősség meghatározza a munkaszüneti nappal kapcsolatos díjazási szabályok dogmatikáját is: a jogalkotó tudniillik munkabérrel ellentételezi egyrészt a munkaszüneti nap miatt csökkenő munkaidőt, másrészt azt a „teljesítési kellemetlenséget”, amit a munkaszüneti napon történő munkavégzés jelent a munkavállaló számára.

Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department of Gastroenterology, JSS Medical College, Mysore Department of Gastroenterology, JSS Medical College, Mysore., Aradya Venu H
Published: October 2021

Background: Hepatitis E is the most common cause of acute viral hepatitis in the adult population in India. Hepatitis-E has self-limiting clinical course, but can be life threatening in certain high risk groups like pregnancy and alcoholic liver disease. . The present study evaluated the predictors of mortality in patients with acute Hepatitis-E cases at a tertiary care center from India. Methods: This cross sectional study including cases of viral Hepatitis E was done at tertiary care hospital at Mysore during January 2016 to November 2016. A total of seventy nine patients diagnosed with HEV infection using IgM anti-HEV enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kits were included in the study. Results: Out of seventy nine, forty two (53.2%) patients were males and thirty seven (46.8%) were females. The mean age of our study group was 44.3±13.47 years. Out of seventy nine Hepatitis E patients, six had coinfection, two with Hepatitis A (2.5%) and four (5.1%) were HBsAg positive. A total of seventy three (92.4%) patients survived while six (7.6%) patients expired during the course of the illness. Among six fatal cases, four (66.7%) died of acute on chronic liver failure and two (33.6%) died of acute liver failure (ALF). Conclusion: Pre-existing chronic liver disease was found to be significantly associated with mortality in patients suffering from viral Hepatitis E. Increased bilirubin, Low serum albumin, alcohol use, were also associated with increased mortality due to acute viral hepatitis E. Pregnancy was not a determinant of mortality in Hepatitis-E patients in this study.

Conclusion: There is a need to increase awareness among the young population regarding the entity of MI in young hence stressing on modifying life style. This simple measure can make a large difference in preventing the occurrence of MI in young.
"… a few patches of potato-ground and rude dwelling places": views of New Zealand through Lockean eyes
Authors: Schmidt Tyson
Published: October 2021

One of the first pieces of legislation passed by the newly formed General Assembly of New Zealand was the Waste Lands Act 1854, providing for the sale, letting, disposal and occupation of lands acquired by the Crown from Māori. The waste lands concept was an early part of the colonial project, but gained particular traction with the demise of the New Zealand Company in the early 1850s, Governor Grey's departure in 1853, and settler-dominance of the First Parliament in the mid 1850s. The origin of the concept stems from Enlightenment philosopher John Locke, whose labour theory of property held that a right to property arose through exertion of labour on that land – or put the other way, uncultivated or unoccupied meant un-owned.Adopted by the likes of Edward Gibbon Wakefield, the waste lands concept underpinned a strongly economic approach to settlement. It has already been well established how images of New Zealand's landscape and built environment were used to support settlement efforts – depictions of emptiness served to "stimulate avarice for land in the heart of a potential settler who has none" (as Hamish Keith puts it). We can extend such analyses by reading these images in light of the waste lands concept, showing how this reflected relationships between the Crown and Māori during the 1850s.
The Affective Disorder Test: a new test to assess depression and anxiety-like behaviour in rats
Authors:   , Blackburne Katie
Published: October 2021

Major depressive and anxiety disorders are debilitating psychiatric illnesses which are often a serious burden to the patients, their families and society as a whole. A major contributor to this burden is that a large number of patients do not respond to current therapeutics. As all treatments are established first in animal models, an imperative direction to advance treatment efficacy in humans is through progressing these models. This thesis aims to develop and validate a novel behavioural test (Affective Disorder Test: ADT) that simultaneously assesses depression and anxiety-like behaviours, as well as provides a more valid index of depression-like behaviour than previous tests, and allows repeated testing in the same animal.

In order to develop a standardized protocol, the impact of food restriction on behaviour was examined. Subjects with ad libitum access to food, failed to exhibit sufficient responses in aspects of the test, supporting the incorporation of food restriction into the test protocol. The serotonin transporter knockout (SERT -/-) rat was employed as a model of depression and anxiety, and as hypothesised displayed corresponding behaviour in the test, indicating construct validity. Finally, the predictive validity of the test was corroborated as pharmacological treatment of anxiolytic and antidepressant drugs, diazepam (1 mg/kg) and ketamine (5 mg/kg), improved subjects behaviour on relevant areas of the test. The ADT is an innovate tool which has the ability to contribute to the scientific and general community by furthering our understanding of the aetiology of these disorders and enhancing pharmacological developments

IMPORTANCE OF PROPER BREATHING IN SINGING
Authors: Devi Rajeshwari
Published: October 2021

There is much truth in the statement that ‘breathing is singing’ proper breathing is essential for singing and learning of breath correctly is actually one of the most important aspects to improve the singing voice. Improving breathing technique allows a singer to have more control over their voice and enable them to explore a broader range of notes and to have greater capacity of air and it gives control to expel the breath in order to sustain on the notes for a longer period. The intensity of the voice depends upon the breath forces which regulate the amplitude of the vibrations of the vocal chords. If the foundation of breathing technique is not proper a singer will have poor results, and later will suffer. Good breath management skills are necessary if a singer hopes to be able to sing great wilt skill. So, breathing exercise are critical for any aspiring vocalist to achieve singing success. This paper try to discuss on the Important of proper breathing in singing.
Cefdinir Inclusion in Mesoporous Silica as Effective Dissolution Enhancer with Improved Physical Stability
Authors: Al Nuss Raghad , Zein Hind El
Published: October 2021

Objective: The objective of this research was to enhance the physical stability and the dissolution rate of cefdinir, a BCS class IV drug, characterized by low and variable bioavailability due to both its low solubility and low permeability.
Methods: Cefdinir was loaded into the mesoporous silica (SBA-15), by using the solvent immersion method starting from different organic solvents. And then formula (F3), which exhibited the highest loading percentage, was selected to study its drug release in media with different pH (1.2, 4.5, and 6.8), and has been fully characterized by using: Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) Spectroscopy, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, Powder X-ray Diffraction, and has been subjected to accelerated stability tests using different temperatures and relative humidity. Drug release kinetics were studied by using the following models: Probit, Gompertz, Weibull, and Logistic.
Results: The results showed a remarkable dissolution improvement of cefdinir from the loaded silica in comparison to the crystalline drug at the different studied media. Drug release behaviors were well simulated by the Weibull model for F3 in all studied media and for pure Cefdinir in phosphate buffer only, and by the Gompertz function for pure Cefdinir in HCl buffer and Acetate buffer. FTIR results showed hydrogen bonds formed between the drug and silica, DSC and PXRD results revealed the transformation of cefdinir into an amorphous form upon adsorption. Stability studies under different conditions revealed the ability of mesoporous silica to maintain the amorphous state of the drug, which has been formed upon adsorption, and to prevent re-organization in the crystal nucleus of the drug molecules.
Conclusion: Thus, loading cefdinir onto mesoporous silica can be used as a promising method to enhance drug dissolution, and maintain the physical stability of its amorphous form.

Authors: Salam Nur Insana , Chadijah Andi , Rahmi Rahmi , Wahyu Farhana
Published: October 2021

Betta fish (Betta sp) is a freshwater ornamental fish during the pandemic that is very popular with the public. However, people tend to prefer male betta fish than female fish. To deal with the large number of requests, a sex reversal technique is carried out which applies hormonal engineering to change female to male sexual characters (masculinization) using natural ingredients, namely cow testicle flour. The purpose of this study was to analyze the dose of bovine testicular flour hormone on the process of oral male betta fish larvae. This research was conducted in Moncongloe Village, Maros Regency, from July to September 2021. The production of beef testicle flour was carried out in the Chemical Engineering laboratory, Ujung Pandang State Polytechnic. Betta fish seeds were kept each in an aquarium measuring 20 cm x 14 cm x 20 cm as many as 12 pieces. Soaking artemia with beef testicle flour with a predetermined dose of 60 mg L-1, 80 mg L-1 and 100 mg L-1, the duration of immersion is 24 hours. This study used a one-factor completely randomized design (CRD). The results obtained were the highest percentage of male genitalia at a dose of 100 mg L-1 with a percentage of 66.7%. The survival rate of betta fish during the maintenance period with different doses of cow testicles obtained data ranging from 80-100%.

Introduction: The study aimed to analyse the clinical response and short-term outcomes with the use of high-flow oxygen therapy (HFOT), non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) with bilevel positive airway pressure, or continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in severe COVID-19 patients. Methods: We conducted an observational, prospective, single-center study, approved by Ethics Committee of “Instituto de Investigación Sanitaria Fundación Jiménez Díaz” (EO102-20-HRJC). We included a total of 130 patients ≥18 years-old, with proved SARS-CoV-2 infection and secondary Acute Respiratory Failure (ARF) that required treatment with Non-invasive Respiratory Support (NIRS). We collected data about population demographic characteristics, clinical factors, and evolution during the incoming. A baseline of patients treated with HFO, CPAP and NIMV were compared with one-way ANOVA test, while categorical variables were expressed as numbers and percentages and were compared using the chi-square test or Fisher’s exact test when appropriate. Results: The cohort was distributed as follows: CPAP 54.6% (n = 71), NIMV 30% (n = 39), HFO 15.4% (n = 20). There were no differences between NIRS subgroups regarding age, comorbidity, or functional status. At the beginning of NIRS treatment, PaO2/FiO2 value was 149.3 ± 69.7. After 24 hours, PaO2/FiO2 was significantly higher in the CPAP group (CPAP vs NIMV, p-value = 0.0042; CPAP vs HFO, p-value = 0.000169). The overall ICU admission evaded rate was 69.1% and TF rate was 43.8%, without differences between the three therapies (p-value = 0.281). The mortality rate was 37.2%, without significant differences between subgroups. Conclusions: Our data suggest that CPAP versus treatment with NIMV or HFO improves PaO2/FiO2 rate in severe ARF patients, significantly reducing ICU admission. No differences were observed in mortality or therapeutic failure.

The agriculture sector is undergoing a revolution, owing to several initiatives by Government of India aimed at increasing farmers’ income by 2022-23. These efforts should not be implemented in a traditional manner, but rather with farmers as partners in the process. Farmer producer Companies (FPCs) could serve as a ground-level implementation entity. As a result, FPCs may be at the lead of the economic opportunities that these reforms will generate. The financial viability or health of a Farmer Producer Companies is an important factor because many small and marginal farmers depend on it. Therefore, this study evaluated the financial performance of Farmer Producer Companies of the Western agro-climatic zone of Tamil Nadu utilizing Altman Z’ score model and sustainable growth rate for the period 2015 to 2020. This analysis utilized secondary data gathered from the Ministry of Corporate Affairs, India. According to the results, it is concluded that the majority of the sample Farmer Producer Companies are in distress zone and if the present circumstance proceeded, these organizations will be bankrupt, within next two years and all of the companies have negative sustainable growth rate, indicating that they would be unable to operate without external funding. As a result, there is an urgent need to concentrate on these companies in order to ensure their sustainable growth.

Leucochrysa es el género más grande y diverso de la familia Chrysopidae, con aproximadamente 190 especies descritas. Se distribuye desde el norte de los Estados Unidos al norte, hasta el noroeste de Argentina en el sur, presentando la mayor diversidad de especies en la región Neotropical. Los dos subgéneros: L. (Leucochrysa) McLachlan y L. (Nodita) Navás, están representados en la Argentina por cinco y dos especies, respectivamente. Leucochrysa (Nodita) cruentata se ha encontrado por primera vez enel noroeste de Argentina en la zona de pedemonte de las Yungas, en agroecosistemas de Citrus y otros cultivos colindantes a la misma, lo cual presupone que puede ejercerun importante papel en el control biológico de plagas, más aun teniendo en cuenta que es activa depredadora en estado larval de pequeños fitófagos. La biología de las especies neotropicales de Nodita, así como su morfología larval, son poco conocidas.En este trabajo registramos una tercera especie en Argentina de L. (Nodita): Leucochrysa (Nodita) cruentata (Schneider), se presentan las primeras descripciones de la morfología externa de la larva de tercer estadio, además de ilustraciones, detalles de la quetotaxia y datos de su ciclo biológico. Se aporta una clave para la identificacióndel tercer estadio larval de las seis especies neotropicales de Leucochrysa (Nodita) de las que se conocen sus larvas.
Investigation of the mechanism for median image filtering in computer systems and special purpose networks

A successful solution to solve an impulse noise is to use median filtration proposed by John Tuke in 1971 for the analysis of economic processes. It should be noticed that median filtration is a heuristic processing method, its algorithm is not a mathematical solution to a strictly formulated problem. Therefore, the researchers pay much attention to the analysis of the image effectiveness processing on its basis and comparison with other methods. When applying a median filter, each image pixel is sequentially processed. For median filtration, a two-dimensional window (filter aperture) is used, usually has a central symmetry, with its center located at the current filtration point. The dimensions of the aperture are among the parameters that are optimized in the process of analyzing the algorithm efficiency. Image pixels, that appear within the window, form a working sample of the current step. However median filtering smoothens the image borders to a lesser degree than any linear filtering. The mechanism of this phenomenon is very simple and is as follows. Assume that the filter aperture is near the boundary separating the light and image's dark areas, with its center located in the dark area. Then, most likely, the work sample will contain more elements with small brightness values, and, consequently, the median will be among those elements of the work sample that match this area of the image. The situation changes to the opposite, if the aperture center is shifted to the region of higher brightness. But this means the presence of sensitivity in the median filter to brightness variations.

Published: October 2021

This research tries to discuss the relationship of economic factors in the establishment of a legal norm. Through conceptual and statutory approaches, this study tries to examine the concept of the relationship between economics and the law initiated by Richard A. Posner. This research makes the establishment of the norm on the size of the parliamentary threshold in the implementation of legislative elections as a benchmark for the relationship between the economy and the law. The results of this study show that changes in the size of the parliamentary threshold can be understood as an open legal policy agreed upon by lawmakers. The existence of rules on open legal policy makes economic and legal relations in determining the norms of parliamentary threshold size become real. This research is expected to help academics and legal practitioners to dig deeper into the relationship between economics and law, so as to understand the advantages and disadvantages that may result from such relationships.

Corruption is an extra ordinary crime that harms the state, damages the nation's economy and hinders national development. Therefore, it is necessary to take extraordinary action in its eradication without having to consider human rights and customs that exist in society. One of the most important elements in eradicating corruption lies in the system of laws and regulations of a country, because in our country it is known that no act can be punished unless the law regulates it, so the urgency of issuing a Goverment Regulation il lieu of Law is very necessary to perfect the law. - the invitations that have been there. This research tries to analyze the substance in law Number 31 of 199 concerning the Eradication of Corruption Crime, in conjunction with Law 20 of 2001, Law Number 30 of 2002 in conjunction with law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the Corruption Eradication Commission by analyzing The phenomenon of corruption is increasing day by day, especially in terms of the mode and method of the perpetrators of hiding the results of the corruption. This study uses qualitative normative research with a statutory approach. The results of this study raise the substance that exists in Law Number 30 of 2002 in conjunction with Law Number 19 of 2019 concerning the Corruption Eradication Commission which needs to be refined or revised by issuing a new law that does not only rely on the actions that have been carried out by law enforcement but also preventive measures in a systematic way.
