COVID-19, Digital Transformation of Banks, and Operational Capabilities of Commercial Banks
Authors: Zhu Yongjie , Jin Shanyue
Published: May 2023

The development of financial technology has promoted the innovation and digital transformation of commercial banks. Through digital transformation, commercial banks can improve bank efficiency and operational capabilities. Through empirical analysis, this study explored the relationship between digital bank transformation and commercial bank operating capabilities and how COVID-19, bank categories, and enterprise life cycles affect the relationship between digital bank transformation and commercial bank operating capabilities. This study selected data from China’s commercial banks from 2011 to 2021 and used the regression method of fixed effects to conduct an empirical analysis. The research results show that the digital transformation of banks has improved the operational capabilities of commercial banks. Further analysis showed that the emergence of COVID-19 has negatively affected their relationship. At the same time, compared with rural commercial banks and commercial banks in the recession and phase-out periods, non-rural commercial banks and commercial banks in the growth and maturity stages play a more vital moderating role in the impact of the digital transformation of banks on the financial performance of commercial banks. The main research object of this study is Chinese commercial banks, and this study examines the results of banks’ digital transformation and enriches the research on digital transformation. At the same time, this study is helpful to investors who like investment banks and has good practical significance.
In-Lake Mechanisms for Manganese Control—A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Semasinghe Christina , Rousso Benny Zuse
Published: May 2023

An elevated concentration of manganese (Mn) in lakes is a common water quality problem faced by many water utilities. Thermal stratification is a natural phenomenon that influences the Mn concentration in lakes and can exacerbate Mn accumulation in surface water without external loading sources. While several treatment methods can be utilized to treat Mn in drinking water treatment plants, in-lake control mechanisms can be a proactive and efficient strategy for Mn control by reducing water treatment complexities and costs. Despite previous research pointing to the benefits of in-lake Mn control, the feasibility and effectiveness of the various in-lake Mn control mechanisms in lakes in different environmental conditions remains unclear. To identify and consolidate the existing research on the topic, a comprehensive, systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted. The SLR identified case studies of in-lake Mn control mechanisms in thermally stratified lakes. The identified case studies were grouped into three categories based on their goals: identification of Mn behaviour in lakes, built engineering implementations and digital solutions for process optimization and anticipation. It is critical that a site-specific understanding of Mn dynamics is obtained before implementing any built or digital solutions, because lake specific dynamics can significantly impact a solution’s performance. While most reviewed mechanisms were successful in decreasing high Mn concentrations, a lack of financial and environmental cost–benefit analyses for most in-lake Mn control mechanisms was observed, which is crucial for their adoption by water authorities. The rationale of this SLR provides a summary of the benefits and limitations of the most common in-lake Mn control mechanisms, the enabling the conditions for their implementation, and the knowledge gaps and future direction for research on the topic, being valuable to support informed decision-making by water authorities managing waterbodies with high Mn concentrations.

Published: May 2023

Plastic packaging dominates the US grocery industry. This realization raises the question of whether consumers are purchasing food that is not wrapped in conventional plastic but environmentally friendly packaging. This quantitative study adapted the Theory of Planned Behavior to investigate the relationship between consumers’ socio-demographics, purchase intention, and purchasing behavior regarding environmentally friendly grocery packaging. The survey was distributed through Qualtrics, and a sample of 487 eligible US grocery consumers was gathered. The study uncovers some novel findings. First, the results suggest that consumers’ subjective norms substantially stimulate environmentally friendly grocery packaging purchase intentions, influencing actual purchasing behavior. Second, we discovered that purchase intention and perceived behavioral control are likely working in conjunction to help bridge the intention-behavior gap in environmentally friendly consumption. Third, this study supplied a fresh perspective on socio-demographics’ role in environmentally friendly consumption, confirming that predominantly younger, unmarried consumers are more prone to purchase grocery items packaged in environmentally friendly materials. We hope that these study findings provide marketers with fresh insights into the characteristics of consumers willing to purchase grocery items packaged in environmentally friendly materials.

Published: May 2023

The q-symmetric analogues of Hölder, Minkowski, and power mean inequalities are presented in this paper. The obtained inequalities along with a Montgomery identity involving q-symmetric integrals are used to extend some Ostrowski-type inequalities. The q-symmetric derivatives of the functions involved in these Ostrowski-type inequalities are convex or s-convex. Moreover, some Hermite–Hadamard inequalities for convex functions as well as for s-convex functions are also acquired with the help of q-symmetric calculus in the present work. Some examples are included to support the effectiveness of the proved results.
SARS-CoV-2 Structural Proteins Modulated Blood-Testis Barrier-Related Proteins through Autophagy in the Primary Sertoli Cells

Published: May 2023

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) disrupts the blood-testis barrier (BTB), resulting in alterations in spermatogenesis. However, whether BTB-related proteins (such as ZO-1, claudin11, N-cadherin, and CX43) are targeted by SARS-CoV-2 remains to be clarified. BTB is a physical barrier between the blood vessels and the seminiferous tubules of the animal testis, and it is one of the tightest blood-tissue barriers in the mammalian body. In this study, we investigated the effects of viral proteins, via ectopic expression of individual viral proteins, on BTB-related proteins, the secretion of immune factors, and the formation and degradation of autophagosomes in human primary Sertoli cells. Our study demonstrated that ectopic expression of viral E (envelope protein) and M (membrane protein) induced the expressions of ZO-1 and claudin11, promoted the formation of autophagosomes, and inhibited autophagy flux. S (spike protein) reduced the expression of ZO-1, N-cadherin, and CX43, induced the expression of claudin11, and inhibited the formation and degradation of autophagosomes. N (nucleocapsid protein) reduced the expression of ZO-1, claudin11, and N-cadherin. All the structural proteins (SPs) E, M, N, and S increased the expression of the FasL gene, and the E protein promoted the expression and secretion of FasL and TGF-β proteins and the expression of IL-1. Blockage of autophagy by specific inhibitors resulted in the suppression of BTB-related proteins by the SPs. Our results indicated that SARS-CoV-2 SPs (E, M, and S) regulate BTB-related proteins through autophagy.

Dengue virus (DENV) has been a major public health concern in Paraguay, with frequent outbreaks occurring since early 1988. Although control measures have been implemented, dengue remains a significant health threat in the country, and continued efforts are required for prevention and control. In response to that, in collaboration with the Central Public Health Laboratory in Asunción, we conducted a portable whole-genome sequencing and phylodynamic analysis to investigate DENV viral strains circulating in Paraguay over the past epidemics. Our genomic surveillance activities revealed the co-circulation of multiple DENV serotypes: DENV-1 genotype V, the emerging DENV-2 genotype III, BR4-L2 clade, and DENV-4 genotype II. Results additionally highlight the possible role of Brazil as a source for the international dispersion of different viral strains to other countries in the Americas emphasizing the need for increased surveillance across the borders, for the early detection and response to outbreaks. This, in turn, emphasizes the critical role of genomic surveillance in monitoring and understanding arbovirus transmission and persistence locally and over long distances.

Cellular and humoral immunity are both required for SARS-CoV-2 infection recovery and vaccine efficacy. The factors affecting mRNA vaccination-induced immune responses, in healthy and fragile subjects, are still under investigation. Thus, we monitored the vaccine-induced cellular and humoral immunity in healthy subjects and cancer patients after vaccination to define whether a different antibody titer reflected similar rates of cellular immune responses and if cancer has an impact on vaccination efficacy. We found that higher titers of antibodies were associated with a higher probability of positive cellular immunity and that this greater immune response was correlated with an increased number of vaccination side effects. Moreover, active T-cell immunity after vaccination was associated with reduced antibody decay. The vaccine-induced cellular immunity appeared more likely in healthy subjects rather than in cancer patients. Lastly, after boosting, we observed a cellular immune conversion in 20% of subjects, and a strong correlation between pre- and post-boosting IFN-γ levels, while antibody levels did not display a similar association. Finally, our data suggested that integrating humoral and cellular immune responses could allow the identification of SARS-CoV-2 vaccine responders and that T-cell responses seem more stable over time compared to antibodies, especially in cancer patients.
Development and Appraisal of a Web-Based Decision Aid for HPV Vaccination for Young Adults and Parents of Children in Israel—A Quasi-Experimental Study
Authors: Gendler Yulia
Published: May 2023

Background: This study aimed to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of two web-based decision aids designed to help parents of children aged 10–17 years and young adults aged 18–26 years make informed decisions about the HPV vaccine. Methods: The decision aids were developed according to the International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS) criteria and included information about the vaccine, probabilities of benefits and side effects, personal narratives, and values clarification. The study utilized a quasi-experimental design and included 120 Hebrew-speaking parents and 160 young adults. Participants completed baseline surveys and, two weeks after using the decision aid, completed a follow-up survey. Results: Both parents and young adults experienced a reduction in decisional conflict, an increase in self-efficacy, and greater confidence in the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine. The proportion of participating parents deciding to vaccinate their children against HPV increased from 46% to 75%, and the proportion of participating young adults leaning towards receiving the HPV vaccine increased from 64% to 92%. Conclusions: The study highlights the importance of using decision aids to support informed decision making about vaccination and suggests that web-based decision aids may be a useful tool for supporting Israeli parents and young adults to make HPV vaccination decisions.
Voltage Signals Measured Directly at the Battery and via On-Board Diagnostics: A Comparison
Authors: Kortenbruck Gereon , Jakubczyk Lukas , Nowak Daniel Frank
Published: May 2023

Nowadays, cars are an essential part of daily life, and failures, especially of the engine, need to be avoided. Here, we used the determination of the battery voltage as a reference measurement to determine possible malfunctions. Thereby, we compared the use of a digital oscilloscope with the direct measurement of the battery voltage via the electronic control unit. The two devices were evaluated based on criteria such as price, sampling rate, parallel measurements, simplicity, and technical understanding required. Results showed that the oscilloscope (Picoscope 3204D MSO) is more suitable for complex measurements due to its higher sampling rate, accuracy, and versatility. The on-board diagnostics (VCDS HEX-V2) is more accessible to non-professionals, but it is limited in its capabilities. We found that the use of an oscilloscope, specifically the Picoscope, is preferable to measure battery voltage during the engine start-up process, as it provides more accurate and reliable results. However, further investigation is required to analyse numerous influences on the cranking process and the final decision for the appropriate measurement device is case specific.

Published: May 2023

This study offers a comprehensive analysis of unconventional renewable and sustainable energy production options by tapping into the energy associated with the natural tendency to cancel salinity gradients that occur when salt water and fresh water come into contact. Furthermore, this paper assesses the potential for generating blue energy in Romania by examining historical data on flow rates from relevant fresh water sources, such as the Danube River, and the salt loading of potential receiving water bodies, including salt lakes, and the Black Sea. In addition, this study briefly references pilot-level technologies for blue energy production in other countries, including Norway, Japan, and the European Union. Based on literature data, this paper highlights the most important technological methods with applicative potential for harnessing energy from salinity gradients. The performances and limitations of these methods have been presented, acknowledging that despite recent years of advancements in materials and technologies, large-scale implementation and commercialization efforts are still limited. The analyzed data reveals that Romania possesses substantial potential blue energy resources for both large capacity installations, such as the Danube River-Black Sea with a potential achievable capacity of about 50 MW, as well as smaller capacity devices situated around saline lakes and salt deposits. This study concludes that Romania has a unique opportunity to capitalize on its vast blue energy potential and drive sustainable energy development.
Distribution Characteristics and Genesis of Iron and Manganese Ions in Groundwater of Eastern Sanjiang Plain, China
Authors: Wang Mingguo , Wang Min , Yang Li , Yang Tao , Li Jingjie , Chen Yuanming
Published: May 2023

Groundwater resources are an essential component of global water resources. Long-term consumption of groundwater exceeding the standard levels for iron and manganese can lead to chronic diseases, posing a threat to human health. The Sanjiang Plain is the largest swamp wetland area in China and has high levels of iron and manganese in the groundwater, but the cause still needs to be clarified. Based on the results of water quality tests of 41 groundwater samples in the Eastern Sanjiang Plain, this paper analyzes the distribution characteristics and causes of iron and manganese from the perspectives of the original strata environment, redox conditions, pH conditions, and hydrochemical indicator factors in the research area, using statistical methods and GIS technology. The results show that high iron and manganese content in groundwater is prevalent in the Eastern Sanjiang Plain, and the exceedance rate of manganese is higher than that of iron (87.80% and 82.90%, respectively). The primary sources of iron and manganese in groundwater are iron and manganese minerals in the original strata environment. Influenced by factors such as acidic conditions, reducing environment, and rich organic matter, insoluble high-valent iron and manganese oxides are reduced to low-valent and soluble divalent iron and manganese. At the same time, groundwater’s high mineralization and evaporation concentration are conducive to increased iron and manganese content, while the influence of human activities is small.

Published: May 2023

Javanese community has a philosophy of "Pager Mangkok Luwih Bakuh Tinimbang Pager Tembok" which has the meaning that the pager mangkok (a good relationship with the neighbors) luwih bakuh (have a stronger defense) tinimbang pager tembok (rather than a wall fence / physical fence of the home environment). Over time, this philosophy has deteriorated due to individualistic attitudes. This study is a qualitative study using a socio-anthropological approach to reveal distortions caused by deterioration that occurs. The study uses data mining methods in the form of literature studies and in-depth interviews to find out in depth the process of deterioration of that philosophy. The results of the study showed that individuals who undermined the philosophy were caused by several factors, including economics and consumerism, pragmatism, technological and information flows and population density and diversity.

This article examines the socio-cultural changes of society in the midst of the currents of globalization.  It is assumed that there is a shift in the Besahian tradition in the Malay community of Embacang Ogan Ilir village which has been a social system in agricultural culture. This study aims to analyze the impact of such shifts because of the global influence of Islam and modernization in the agricultural system. The method used is qualitative explanatory with observation techniques, interviews, and documentation studies. The results showed that the Malay community of Embacang village is a community with a socio-cultural and religious background that is quite religious. The Besahian tradition as the culture of the Malay community of Embacang village reflects the values of religiosity influenced by Islam as a religion embraced by all citizens of its community, such as deliberation, help, togetherness, equality, justice, and friendship. The Besahian tradition on it has undergone an evolutive shift because of modernization in the agricultural system. Agricultural machinery technology is not only shifting the role of human labor, which is the fulcrum in the Besahian tradition, but also slowly but surely shifting the religiosity values contained in the tradition.
Methodological basis of the research of state responsibility under international law
Authors: Andreichenko Svitlana ,   International Humanitarian University (Odesa)
Published: May 2023

The complexity of modern political and legal relations that arise with the onset of international responsibility significantly increases the importance of developing a methodological basis for the concept of state responsibility under international law. The article highlights the methodological basis of the study of the sphere of international responsibility of states. The article reveals the content of civilizational, axiological, historical-legal and conceptual-comparative approaches, which contributes to a deeper understanding of the nature of international law and the essence of international responsibility, the patterns of functioning and the development of norms on the international responsibility of states. It has been established that the main principles of the civilizational approach contribute to considering the peculiarities of understanding and applying the main categories of international responsibility through the prism of the interaction of civilizations and their dialogue. From the standpoint of the axiological approach, the value of a number of categories significant for the sphere of international legal responsibility is revealed, in particular, the term "responsibility" itself, as well as such political and legal values as freedom, equality, justice, solidarity, tolerance, respect for all human rights. The application of the historical-legal approach allows, among others, to investigate of the development of international legal opinion regarding the concept of "responsibility" in international law from the earliest times; to analyze the stages of the UN International Law Commission's work on the codification of norms on the international responsibility of states; to trace the evolution of the concept of an internationally wrongful act of the state and highlight the issue of its normative consolidation, to investigate the development of the concept of the responsibility of states for lawful activity. The toolkit of the conceptual-comparative approach with its methods of macro- and micro-comparison, synchronic and diachronic, normative, textual, and doctrinal comparisons is helpful in comparing the studied phenomena. The application of the approaches analyzed in the article allows for a comprehensive study of the issues of state responsibility, to develop an international legal concept of state responsibility in international law, to consider the specifics of state responsibility for the illegal conduct of state and non-state actors in conditions of modern political and legal processes.
Current problem issues regarding the qualification of subjects of illegal privatization of state, communal property
Authors: Chumakova Tatiana ,   National Academy of Internal Affairs
Published: May 2023

Today's relevance is the problem of illegal privatization as a criminally punishable phenomenon, and the fight against crime in the field of privatization is an integral part of the fight against corruption. Privatization has significant historical significance, as it became the basis of economic transformations that determine the prospects of economic and political development, and in Ukraine, questions regarding the legality of privatization have always been and remain the subject of discussion today, since it is one of the dangerous criminal offenses that threatens the security of the state in the economic sphere Taking into account the fact that the privatization legislation has repeatedly changed, and the provision of Article 233 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine has a descriptive and blanket nature, this has become a prerequisite for the emergence of complications and problems in providing a criminal legal assessment of events and facts for violation of privatization legislation and qualification of such facts and events as criminal offenses. Certain difficulties arise both in terms of its understanding and application in practice; privatization legislation is quite controversial; there are no uniform approaches to the interpretation of the elements of illegal privatization of state and communal property; there are no clarifications from the Plenum of the Supreme Court of Ukraine; the analyzed criminal offense is latent, and the criminal cases of the unit, which are initiated under Art. 233 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Moreover, the repeated changes in privatization legislation and its complexity have also given rise to disagreements in the opinions of scientists regarding the qualifications of the subject of the criminal offense of illegal privatization of state and communal property. In order to bring legal clarity and achieve accuracy in determining the subject of the criminal offense of illegal privatization of state communal property, the definition of the subject of the criminal offense was first of all given, the classification was given, in addition, the analysis of the latest research was carried out on the outlined problem of the classification of the subject of the criminal offense of illegal privatization of state and communal property. Attention is paid to the study of judicial practice as a reflection of the existing legal doctrine and real law enforcement, and conclusions are drawn regarding the definition of the subjects of the criminal offense of illegal privatization of state and communal property.
Constitutional - legal position of ethno-communities (national minorities, indigenous peoples) in Ukraines
Authors: Svirskiy Borys ,   Mariupol State University
Published: May 2023

The Constitution of Ukraine (Art. 11) guarantees the promotion of ethnic, cultural, linguistic and religious identity of all indigenous peoples and national minorities of Ukraine Adoption after the end of the Second World War, international documents confirm the fundamental rights to self-determination of all peoples, by virtue of which they freely establish their political status and freely carry out their economic, social and cultural development. Studies of scientific sources of domestic and foreign scientists on the development and formation of the constitutional and legal position of ethno-national communities of Ukraine for the period of 1917 to the present have been made. It was found out that with the creation of the UPR ethno-community that lived on its territory in accordance with the legal acts issued by the UPR, they had the opportunity to both identify and exercise the rights granted, to contribute to the development of the UPR. With the overthrow of the UPR in Soviet times in relation to national minorities, the authorities began to gradually implement repressive measures such as deportation of peoples, murders, restrictions on the realization of personal rights and freedoms, etc. It is proved that only after Ukraine gained independence in 1991, ethno-national communities were able, on the basis of adopted laws, to start building national life again as part of the Ukrainian state. As a result of the study, a list of guarantees provided by the state in the sphere of realization and/or protection of the rights of Ukrainian citizens belonging to ethniccommunities has been identified and outlined. The disclosed content of normative legal acts that regulate the existence of ethno-communities of Ukraine is: the Constitution of Ukraine, the laws of Ukraine "On national minorities (communities) of Ukraine", "On the indigenous peoples of Ukraine", the Declaration of the Rights of Nationalities of Ukraine, etc. Attention is paid to the influence of international legal regulations on the definition of sustainable standards for the development of ethno-national life in Ukraine It is proved that the current ethno-national legislation regulating the system of legal relations of ethno-communities is aimed at implementing and meeting their natural needs in cultural, informational and educational, religious, linguistic and other spheres, in order to collect and further resolve their own originality. Common and distinctive features of the conceptual apparatus (definitions) regarding individual features that are inherent in ethno-communities have been identified It has been determined and proved its own opinion that belongs to the category of controversy regarding the content of certain legal norms that are applied in the current legislation.

Повномасштабна збройна агресія росії проти України, що розпочалась
24 лютого 2022 р., активізувала наукові пошуки щодо кримінальної відповідальності за військові та воєнні кримінальні правопорушення, передбачені різними статтями Кримінального кодексу України, зокрема за недбале ставлення до військової служби (ст.425), образу честі й гідності військовослужбовця, погрозу військовослужбовцю (ст.435-1), за пропаганду
війни (ст.436), за виготовлення, поширення комуністичної, нацистської символіки та пропаганду комуністичного та націонал-соціалістичного (нацистського) тоталітарних режимів (ст.436-1) тощо. Також, варто акцентувати увагу на тому, що саме факт повномасштабної збройної агресії зумовив виникнення новел у Кримінальному кодексі України, які не могли пройти повз уваги науковців, зокрема, наприклад щодо виправдовування,
визнання правомірною, заперечення збройної агресії російської федерації проти України, глорифікації її учасників. Безперечно, інтерес представляють новели щодо відповідальності за колабораційну діяльність. Метою статті є формування висновку щодо наявності чи відсутності соціальної обумовленості криміналізації пособництва державі-агресору. Автор пропонує звернутися до теоретичних передумов криміналізації суспільно небезпечних діянь з метою визначення того, чи були дотримані принципи криміналізації при встановленні кримінальної відповідальності за зазначене кримінальне правопорушення. Зауважено, що від час ухвалення рішення про криміналізацію пособництва державі-агресору, законодавцем не було враховано розробленого наукою кримінального права причинно-умовного комплексу, дотримання якого гарантує обґрунтовану, обумовлену криміналізацію суспільно небезпечних діянь. Зроблено висновок про відсутність соціальної обумовленості криміналізації пособництва державі-агресору.
ФУНКЦІЇ ТРУДОВОГО ПРАВА: ПОНЯТТЯ ТА КЛАСИФІКАЦІЯ
Authors: Цуварев О. Ф.
Published: May 2023

У статті розкрито сучасні теоретичні та практичні проблеми трудового
права. Запропоновано нове бачення функцій трудового права, їх видів та системи. Визначено їхні поняття та особливості. Зроблено акцент на необхідності реалізації соціального призначення трудового права. Метою статті є окреслення спеціальних функцій трудового права, таких, як: соціальна, виробнича, захисна та виховна; обґрунтування чинників їхнього
існування, розкриття їх взаємозв’язку та взаємовпливу з загально-соціальними та загально-юридичними функціями; виявлення умов для можливостей сутнісних змін. Автор акцентує увагу на тому, що більшість вищезазначених вчених розглядає поняття функцій права через два компоненти: через його соціальне призначення й через його юридичний вплив. Зроблено висновок, про недоцільність обмеження сприйняття функції, одним з цих двох компонентів, адже, таке багатогранне явище призводить до неминучого синтезу цих властивостей. Функції права визначаються як основний напрям впливу права (прояв якостей та специфіки) на суспільні відносини, з метою їх регулювання, для втілення в життя його соціального
призначення.
СПОСОБИ РЕАЛІЗАЦІЇ ПРАВА НА ПРАЦЮ В ПРАВОВОМУ РЕЖИМІ ДІЯ СІТІ
Authors: Саєнко Ю. О.
Published: May 2023

Автор досліджує способи реалізації права на працю в правовому режимі
Дія Сіті. Автором зазначається, що правовий режим Дія Сіті, створений для стимулювання розвитку цифрової економіки в України, передбачає три способи реалізації права на працю. Першим способом реалізації права на працю в правовому режимі Дія Сіті є трудовий контракт. На переконання автора, цей спосіб реалізації права на працю в правовому режимі Дія
Сіті є традиційним трудовим договором у його особливій формі трудового контракту. Ураховуючи специфіку роботи в цифровому середовищі, видається доцільним закріпити в Законі України «Про стимулювання розвитку цифрової економіки в Україні» положення щодо необхідності узгодження умов про дистанційну працю в трудовому контракті з резидентом
Дія Сіті. Автор зазначає, що гіг-контракт є другим способом реалізації права на працю в правовому режимі Дія Сіті. Гіг-контракт за формою є цивільно-правовим договором, але за багатьма сутнісними ознаками володіє трудоправовим характером (основні умови договору, наявність соціальних та трудових гарантій). Робота за гіг-контрактом не є підприємницькою діяльністю та вимагає від резидента Дія Сіті здійснення загальнообов’язкового державного соціального страхування гіг-спеціаліста. На думку автора, у правовому режимі Дія Сіті укладення цивільно-правових та господарсько-правових договорів надання послуг чи підряду
також можна кваліфікувати як спосіб реалізації права на працю разом із правом на підприємницьку діяльність, адже це передбачає залучення виконавців і підрядників та складу фахівців резидента Дія Сіті. Констатуючи переваги правового режиму Дія Сіті для упорядкування відносин у сфері праці в ІТ-сфері, автор вказує на посиленні експансії трудового права на суспільні відносини, які традиційно визнаються цивільними.
КОНЦЕПТ «ПРАВО НА СОЦІАЛЬНИЙ ЗАХИСТ»
Authors: Коваленко О. О.
Published: May 2023

Метою цієї статті є характеристика сучасного концепту «право на
соціальний захист». Автор відзначає, що якщо раніше соціальний захист сприймався як комплекс, система заходів від негативних наслідків економічного характеру, що позначався на соціально незахищених категоріях населення, то зараз, під час війни й після, очевидно, що ризик потрапити до тих категорій, хто потребує соціального захисту має кожен українець. Наголошується, що розширення категорій громадян, які мають право на соціальний захист здійснилося за рахунок збільшення кількості громадян, що постраждали від з ройної агресії й отримали статус внутрішньо переміщених осіб, а також осіб, які стали на захист нашої країни, виконуючи свій військовий чи посадовий обов’язок (зокрема поліцейську діяльність),
наражаючи себе на небезпеку, унаслідок чого збільшилась кількість підстав для застосування соціальної допомоги, пенсійного забезпечення за втратою годувальника, медичного, грошового, житлового забезпечення. Робиться висновок про зміну сучасного концепту права на соціальний захист через зміщення акцентів першопричин з економічних на причини воєнного
характеру, які ще довгий час після війни будуть зумовлювати виникнення права на соціальний захист.

Статья посвящена исследованию задачи оптимизации иерархической структуры многопродуктовой коммуникационной сети с дискретными потоками и параметрами при изменении ее плотности (отношение количества дуг сети к максимально возможному количеству дуг для заданного числа узлов в сети). В сети выделены три уровня иерархии – магистральный, зональный и внутренний, и четыре типа узлов – первого, второго и третьего типа, образующие магистральный и зональный уровни сети, и узлы четвертого типа, подчиненные каждому магистральному узлу и образующие внутренние уровни сети. Типы узлов отличаются друг от друга функциональными возможностями. Основная задача исследования – установить, как изменяется структура магистральной сети (количество и расположение магистральных узлов первого, второго и третьего типа), схема обработки и распределения потоков и технико-экономические показатели функционирования сети для разной степени ее плотности. Приведены принципы сортировки и распределения потоков в иерархической сети и ее математической модели. Сформулирована математическая модель задачи оптимизации структуры магистральной сети и схемы сортировки и распределения потоков. Алгоритмы решения задачи основаны на предложенном ранее авторами дискретном аналоге метода локального спуска, когда окрестности метрического пространства возможных решений выбираются из эвристических соображений с учетом особенностей решаемой задачи. Проведено компьютерное моделирование задачи на однородной сети, содержащей 100 узлов при изменении степени узлов от 2 до 99. Моделирование проводилось на примере автотранспортной сети перевозки грузов с помощью компьютерной программы, являющейся частью инструментальных программных средств информационно-аналитической системы поддержки принятия решений (ИАС ППР), разрабатываемой в Институте телекоммуникаций и глобального информационного пространства НАН Украины. Экспериментальное исследование решения задачи показало, что лучшие технико-экономические и эксплуатационные показатели ее функционирования достигаются при степени узлов сети от 9 до 14, когда обеспечивается высокая связность сети и значительно сокращается среднее и максимальное время доставки грузов получателям. Предлагаемая компьютерная технология решения задачи при изменении плотности сети позволяет проектировщику в интерактивном режиме моделировать разные варианты сети, изменяя топологию, иерархическую структуру, потоки, параметры и ограничения модели; из полученных результатов выбирать наилучший на основе выбранной функции цели и принятых ограничений; рассчитывать предварительные технико-экономические показатели функционирования сети; оценивать стоимость дополнительных ресурсов для планирования величины нужных инвестиций на модернизацию и строительство ее структурных элементов, что позволяет повысить эффективность функционирования сети за счет оптимизации использования ее ресурсов и снижения эксплуатационных затрат на обработку и транспортировку потоков.
Criticism and Diversity in the Tradition of Islamic Thought: The Case of Elias of Nisibis and Wazīr Abū’l-Qāsim al-Maghribī
Authors: ALICI Mehmet
Published: May 2023

This study discusses Elias of Nisibis with the Marwānid wazīr in light of the Islamic criticism culture in the 11th century. That encounter is examined within the framework of Kitāb al-Majālis, written by Elias in Arabic. The debate between Elias of Nisibis, the Metropolitan of Nisibis and Abū’l-Qāsim al-Maghribī, the Marwānid wazīr, constitutes an essential example of mutual debate ethics. The dispute that Elias treats in seven sessions in his book shows that observing diversity is one of the main principles of Islamic thought. Therefore, it is pointed out here that the culture of criticism and the notion of tolerance are dominant distinctions within the tradition of Islamic thought. In addition, this study examines how Elias approaches Muslim-Christian debates and the method employed by himself. In this respect, it must be noted that Elias tries to use Islamic terminology and attempts to lead an argumentation over the interlocutors’ own Scriptures.

This work evaluated the main difficulties for the implementation and maintenance of selective collection in a large Brazilian city with more than 1 million inhabitants. For that, the qualitative method was used through interviews with 18 professionals who work in the area of selective collection and waste management. The interviews were recorded and the data submitted to content analysis. The results pointed to the following difficulties: lack of government management, low efficiency and limited coverage; poor separation of waste at source; distortions in the logistics chain of selective collection and in the distribution of waste by cooperatives; high informality, precarious work and low remuneration of collectors; the presence of intermediaries and corruption in the system; and idle capacity of cooperatives and public agencies.

Tel Ark Katmanlı İmalat (TAKİ) Yöntemi ve Farklı Malzemelerde Mekanik Özelliklerinin İncelenmesi
Authors: ÇAKIR Ersin , ULUTAN Mustafa
Published: May 2023

Katmanlı (eklemeli) imalat yöntemi geleneksel imalat yöntemlerine alternatif olarak geliştirilmiş ve araştırılmaya devam etmektedir. Bu yöntem, üç boyutlu bilgisayar destekli yazılımlardan doğrudan parça üretimi temeline dayanmaktadır. Üç boyutlu (3D) yazıcı olarak da adlandırılan katmanlı imalat, kullanılan metal malzeme türüne göre toz ve tel olarak ikiye ayrılmaktadır. Toz esaslı sistemde metal altlık üzerine biriktirilen tozların; elektron, lazer veya ark ısı kaynağı ile ergitilmesi veya sinterlenmesi ile parça üretilmektedir. Tel esaslı sistemde ise, MIG/MAG, TIG veya plazma kaynak sistemleri kullanılarak tel malzemenin ergitilmesi ve üst üste biriktirilmesi yöntemi kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Tel ark katmanlı imalat (TAKİ) yöntemi açıklanarak kullanılan ısı kaynağına göre sınıflandırılması yapılmıştır. Yöntem, üretim zamanında sağladığı azalmalar, net şekle yakın üretim sağlaması ve tel hammaddenin toza göre ucuz olması gibi avantajları ile endüstri için önemli araştırma konusu olmuştur. Bu çalışmada, sanayide ticari olarak kullanılan paslanmaz çelik, alüminyum, nikel süper alaşımları, magnezyum ve Ti6Al4V alaşımları için yapılan araştırmalar incelenmiştir. Mekanik özellikleri döküm-dövme gibi geleneksel imalat yöntemleri ile karşılaştırılmıştır. Yapılan üretimler ile elde edilen mekanik özelliklerde çelik alaşımları için soğuma şartlarının önemli olduğu ancak geleneksel imalat yöntemleriyle elde edilen değerlerin karşılanabileceği not edilmiştir. Alüminyum alaşımlarında üretimde veya sonrasında yapılan işlemlerin(hadde, dövme vb.) mekanik özelliklerin gelişmesini olumlu etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca Ti6Al4V alaşımları için yapılan üretimlerde istenilen mekanik özelliklerin yeterli seviyede sağlanabileceği görülmüştür.
