Provision of a tennis court and the rate of VAT
Authors: Michałowski Wojciech
Published: December 2024

The article addresses the taxation of tennis court rentals in the context of VAT, considering the EU Directive2006/112/EC and the Polish Classification of Goods and Services (PKWiU). It focuses on the differences betweenproperty leasing and providing access to sports infrastructure, based on the case law of the Court of Justice ofthe European Union and Polish administrative courts. It has been demonstrated that these services should betaxed at a uniform VAT rate of 8%, regardless of the legal status of the users, as the nature of the service remainsunchanged regardless of its intended use. Providing access to tennis courts is considered a service related tothe operation of sports facilities, regardless of who uses them

Being temporal, majority of abiotic stresses induces responses in plants that needs to be regulated in energy efficient manner. These regulations are carried out by many regulatory molecules including microRNAs and transcription factors. Like protein coding genes, miRNAs are also conserved across the plant species to exhibit their conserved function during growth, development and response to biotic or abiotic stresses. The present study was carried out during 2020 and 2021 at National phytotron facility, ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi. Control and salinity treated plants of Kharchia Local, a highly salt tolerant landrace of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) from India, were grown in hydroponics and after sequencing and analysis of small RNA data, salinity responsive mature miRNA sequences from Kharchia Local were analyzed for their evolutionary relationship with sequences from the public databases. The phylogenetic study, sequence similarity (identity scores) and multiple sequence comparison was used for evolutionary conservation analysis. The study revealed that, miRNA sequences from Kharchia Local are diverse and did not group with the salinity responsive miRNAs from the database except miR1551. Interestingly, a total of 25 known or conserved miRNA families were identified as salinity responsive across the plant species. The miRNAs from Kharchia Local appears to play regulatory role in novel mechanisms of salinity tolerance.

Published: December 2024

A field experiment was conducted during the zaid seasons of 2022–23 and 2023–24 at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu to study the effect of guava (Psidium guajava L.) leaf extract-treated greengram [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] seeds under abiotic stress. The active ingredient, quercetin, was confirmed using High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) with a peak area of 0.00039. The experiment was laid out in a split plot design (SPD) comprised of 3 treatments, viz. control (T0); Seeds coated with organic flax seed polymer (T1); Seeds coated with organic flax seed polymer + quercetin @1% (T2) with six replications. Subplots had different irrigation schedules, including weekly irrigation (control) (S0) and withholding irrigation for 15 days at different growth stages [25 DAS (days after sowing) (S1); 35 DAS (S2); 45 DAS (S3)]. Soxhlet-extracted guava leaves resulted in the highest seedling vigour, with 94% germination, 16.9 cm root length, 18.5 cm shoot length, 0.311 g/10 seedlings, and a vigour index of 3299 at 1% concentration. Under moisture stress (PEG 6000-0.2 MPa), quercetin @1% improved germination (62%), root length (13.7 cm), shoot length (15.3 cm), dry matter production (0.170 g/10 seedlings), and vigour index (1750). Enzyme activities, including peroxidase (0.165 U/mg protein/min) and superoxide dismutase (1.127 U/mg protein/min) were highest in this treatment. Significant increases in proline content were observed, ranging from 135–146 mg/g and 137–152 mg/g across both the seasons. Yield/plant increased to 16.7 g (4.4 kg/plot) in season 1 and 17.3 g (4.6 kg/plot) in season 2. Thus, quercetin @1%, infused in flax seed, effectively mitigates drought stress, offering a sustainable solution for organic cultivation.

Published: December 2024

El objetivo de este trabajo fue analizar por medio del modelo de simulación Sistema de Soporte de Decisiones para la Transferencia de Agrotecnología (DSSAT) los potenciales efectos del calentamiento global sobre el comportamiento del cultivo de maíz (Zea mays). Específicamente, se estudió el efecto que supone el incremento de la temperatura sobre la duración del ciclo del cultivo, el rendimiento, y la producción de biomasa. Dicho modelo se calibró para simular el comportamiento del cereal utilizando datos climáticos y edáficos de literatura local (Lodana, Manabí, Ecuador). Se ajustaron variables como la pluviometría, temperatura y humedad relativa, así como el tipo de suelo. Se realizaron simulaciones considerando condiciones climáticas actuales y proyecciones futuras de cambio, basadas en información de la FAO que sugiere un aumento de temperatura promedio de hasta 2,25°C para el año 2080 en tierras bajas del trópico. Se identificaron posibles efectos en el cultivo de la variedad ADVANTA, adaptada a las condiciones específicas del área de estudio. Se encontró que el cambio climático influye significativamente en aquellas variables. La disminución de rendimiento en las cosechas pudiera estar asociado al acortamiento en el ciclo de desarrollo del cultivo y del gasto energético adicional, producto del proceso respiratorio. Se concluye que este es sensible a los escenarios climáticos planteados, y su productividad es afectada.

LA PROTECCIÓN DE LOS MANGLARES COMO SUJETOS DE DERECHOS
Authors: Velásquez Flores Leyther Maholy , Ochoa Soledispa Juana de Jesús
Published: December 2024

Los manglares son fundamentales para el equilibrio ecológico, ofreciendo hábitats únicos y protegiendo las costas de la erosión. En Ecuador, estos ecosistemas han enfrentado amenazas como la deforestación, la expansión de camaroneras, el desarrollo urbano y la sobreexplotación de recursos. El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la protección legal de los manglares como sujetos de derechos, una figura aún poco explorada en Ecuador. Para ello, se utilizaron métodos analítico y sintético las técnicas empleadas fueron de revisión documental y análisis jurídico de la legislación, con la utilización de los instrumentos como las referencias bibliográficas y el inventario de la revisión de la legislación vigente en torno a los derechos de la naturaleza, los resultados mostraron que, aunque la Constitución ecuatoriana reconoce los derechos de los ecosistemas, la implementación de estos derechos ha sido limitada debido a presiones económicas y actividades humanas, como la instalación de camaroneras que destruyen hábitats y reducen los servicios ecosistémicos que los manglares proporcionan. En conclusión, la falta de mecanismos efectivos para proteger estos ecosistemas genera un conflicto entre el desarrollo económico y los derechos legales de los manglares. La preservación de los manglares es crucial para asegurar la biodiversidad y los beneficios ecológicos que brindan.

Published: December 2024

Las enfermedades transmitidas por alimentos se observan diariamente en el mundo y las bacterias del género Vibrio son una de las principales causas asociadas al problema en alimentos de origen marino. El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la prevalencia de bacterias potencialmente patógenas del género Vibrio en camarones vendidos al por menor en mercados del municipio de Manta, Manabí, Ecuador, y el cumplimiento de dichos mercados a la norma Ecuatoriana INEN 2687:2013 Mercados Saludables. Para ello, los mercados Central de Manta, Playita Mia y Parroquial Eloy Alfaro se caracterizaron utilizando listas de verificación. La detección de vibrios potencialmente patógenos, Vibrio cholerae, V. parahaemolyticus y V. vulnificus se realizó mediante pruebas microbiológicas de PCR cuantitativa en tiempo real, método AOAC RI 050902. La calidad sanitaria general de los mercados (48.8%) se encontró por debajo del mínimo esperado (70.0%) y se reflejó en diferencias significativas (P<0.05) en el nivel de cumplimiento de la norma mencionada. Vibrio cholerae registró la prevalencia media más alta (69.7%), seguida de V. parahaemolyticus (49.2%), mientras que V. vulnificus mostró una baja prevalencia (6.7%). La prevalencia de las tres especies de Vibrio evaluadas no difirió significativamente entre mercados (P>0.05), ni reportó correlación significativa con la calidad sanitaria de los mercados. Se concluye que hay una alta prevalencia de Vibrio spp. en muestras de camarón marino de los tres mercados minoristas de mariscos en Manta, y las autoridades deben advertir al público sobre la necesidad de consumir camarones cocidos, no crudos o solamente salteados con limón.

Ecuador, con su amplia gama de climas y biodiversidad, enfrenta al desafío de la expansión de especies invasoras como Lithobates catesbeianus (rana toro), que pueden beneficiarse de futuras variaciones climáticas. Este estudio modeló la distribución potencial de Lithobates catesbeianus en Ecuador bajo escenarios de cambio climático utilizando registros de bases internacionales y literatura científica. Se descargaron variables bioclimáticas relevantes para la especie y se construyeron 1581 modelos candidatos con el paquete kuenm y algoritmo de Máxima Entropía en R. La especie prevaleció principalmente en la región costera, especialmente en Guayas, Los Ríos, Manabí, Santa Elena y Esmeraldas, y en la parte oriental en Napo, Morona Santiago y Zamora Chinchipe, esta última siendo especialmente propicia para su hábitat. Sin embargo, en la Sierra la favorabilidad climática decreció. Para el futuro, en el escenario moderado (SSP 24,5), se esperan cambios tolerables en las áreas donde la rana toro ya está presente. La diversidad climática de Ecuador podría incluso favorecer su expansión. Sin embargo, en el escenario extremo (SSP 5 8,5), se prevé una pérdida considerable de áreas con condiciones climáticas favorables, pero aun así la especie podría mantener poblaciones, sobre todo hacia el interior de áreas protegidas. Se espera que el rango de expansión para la distribución de la rana toro aumente en áreas como la Reserva Ecológica Cayambe Coca, Cotacachi Cayapas, Manglares Churute y los Parques Nacionales Sangay y Llanganates. Esto resultará en una mayor prevalencia de la especie en el Sistema Nacional de Áreas Protegidas, pero también causará la pérdida de biodiversidad y la fauna local.

Health Infrastructure Planning in Tanzania, 1961–1980s: The Problems of Future-making
Authors: Edward Frank , Lindner Ulrike
Published: December 2024

Between 1961 and 1978, Tanzania invested significantly in the health service provision – from training requisite manpower, provision of health education to building the necessary infrastructure in order to improve health conditions of the population. As existing research indicates, the investment paid off considerably in qualitative terms, for instance, with a gradual increase in life expectancy and a decline in infant mortality. This paper examines the vision of the state of health in Tanzania by using the prism of infrastructure. Its focus is on direct and indirect physical infrastructures, particularly medical buildings and facilities. Through the analysis of archival and documentary sources, the paper contends that the vision of the state on health centred on provision of primary healthcare in the rural areas without paying enough attention to the broader population dynamics and critical health challenges. This set the antecedents for crisis in the health sector that unfolded in the neoliberal era, particularly in the 1980s. The latter position challenges the long-established narrative in neoliberal and health policies’ literature that infers that health conditions started deteriorating in the postcolonial era due to neoliberal policies. As such, the paper presents a comparative juxtaposition of socialist and early neoliberal health infrastructures in Tanzania, and contributes to knowledge on the futures of public health in the Global South. It concludes by arguing that although the policy of rural health improvement was translated through construction of primary health infrastructure, the latter acted as a denial tool for the best healthcare infrastructure to rural populations.
Medical Mission Futures: German Protestant Missionaries and Modern Healthcare in Southern Highlands, Tanzania,1891–1940
Authors: Kaduma Luoneko
Published: December 2024

The history of colonial missionaries in Tanzania is marked by a complex interplay betweenevangelical efforts and the provision of Western biomedicine, which functioned as crucialmechanisms for conversion and cultural transformation. Missionaries viewed theimprovement of African health as a project aimed at attracting converts and propagatingChristianity. However, the available data indicates that, instead of genuinely expressinginterest in converting to Christianity, the majority of Africans primarily sought missionmedical assistance for medical reasons while maintaining strong connections to theirtraditional beliefs and healing practices. This paper, drawing from archival documents,ethnographic accounts, and missionary writings, focuses on Southern Highlands of Tanzaniato explore how Protestant missionaries of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuriessought to integrate healthcare and religious conversion in their missions. This endeavour,however, did not unfold as missionaries had anticipated. It sheds light on the overlookedaspect of the failed trajectory of medical missionaries, often absent from the broadernarrative of colonial medical histories in Tanzania.

Intoductions: This study aims to examine the determinants of tax compliance among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia, focusing on the roles of tax literacy, tax knowledge, perceptions of fairness, power, trust, and trust in government. Given the importance of tax compliance can guide policymakers in designing effective tax policies.Methods: The research was conducted using a quantitative approach, collecting data from 349 SME owners across various islands in Indonesia through convenience sampling. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS), allowing for an in-depth examination of the relationships between independent variables and tax compliance.Results: These findings suggest that building trust and employing supportive enforcement strategies are essential for encouraging voluntary compliance among SMEs. Surprisingly, tax literacy, tax knowledge, and perceptions of fairness did not significantly impact compliance, indicating that while these factors may play a role, they are not sufficient drivers of compliance without the presence of trust and authority.Conclutions: Based on these findings, it is recommended that policymakers prioritize strategies that foster trust in government and strengthen relationships between SMEs and tax authorities. Enhanced transparency, communication, and fair enforcement can significantly contribute to improved compliance rates.

This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of the leadership of the Argentine Industrial Union (UIA) in post-convertibility focusing on the corporate trajectories of its leaders, that is, investigating their industrial activity, their trade union affiliations, forms of Access and permanence in these positions. The reconstruction of corporate trajectories makes it possible to analyze how they influence internal dynamics, in their forms f organization, representation of interests, and in the relations they establish with state agents. In these years, the main industrial sectors recovered dynamism and preeminence, recovering investment, production and Jobs and imposing a new type of state intervention which implied an increase in the economic intervention of the state seeking to favour workers and small and medium-sized entrepreneurs while it sought greater control over the concentrated sectors of the economy that enabled a new type of relationship between the state and the business sectors. In this new context, the UIA regained a leading role that also exposed the internal heterogeneities in their declarations and political positions by characteristics and affiliations of those who occupied the highest leadership positions of the entity. This paper analyze the corporate trajectories of industrial leaders to account for of the constitution of the corporate business action (ACE) that then it explains its collective positions in the public sphere, through its links with private and public agents.

O mundo está em efervescência com diversas crises que interrompem o curso de inúmeras vidas. Esta instabilidade conduz à fuga de milhões de pessoas que procuram preservar a própria vida, alcançar a segurança e novas perspetivas de futuro. Este artigo insere-se numa investigação de doutoramento em Ciências da Educação e, com recurso a metodologia qualitativa, visa (re)conhecer e (re)valorizar as vozes dos agentes que participam no processo de proteção internacional, na fase pré acolhimento. Foram analisadas entrevistas semiestruturadas a pessoas com refúgio concedido em Portugal, profissionais a exercer funções em entidades com poder de decisão e voluntários. Os principais resultados mostram as experiências e vivências prévias que pessoas acolhidas no país carregam nas suas bagagens. As dificuldades que a fuga e percurso migratório trouxeram, aliadas ao facto de os Estados terem a liberdade de aceitar ou de lhes negar proteção, causou-lhes intenso sofrimento, exigiu múltiplas adaptações e perdas de diversa ordem (material, afetiva, identitária).

Published: December 2024

El método Montessori por su perspectiva de adaptabilidad plural a los ambientes que son parte de los niños, es una metodología que brinda a los educadores de Educación Inicial los escenarios adecuados para fomentar el descubrimiento de forma habitual en los infantes en respuesta a sus capacidades perceptivas, nociones cognitivas e intereses. El presente estudio asume los posicionamientos experienciales pedagógicos de 37 profesionales de Educación Inicial, que son parte de las respuestas plasmadas en la encuesta, también se incluyó la investigación descriptiva, bibliográfica y de campo. Los resultados de mayor impacto son: Sostienen que existe correlación entre el método Montessori y el desarrollo de la individualidad y autonomía del niño, puntualizan que en la universidad no han sido familiarizados con los principios del método Montessori, asumen que los materiales concretos son parte de las directrices de la propuesta pedagógica de Montessori, la mayoría desconoce que a temprana edad la apropiación del conocimiento va de lo inductivo a lo deductivo, todos sostienen que el Ministerio de Educación no oferta cursos sobre el método Montessori alineados con el descubrimiento en el niño. Tomando en cuenta las dos inconsistencias formativas de fondo, es fundamental actualizarlas en el método Montessori orientado al desarrollo de la capacidad de descubrimiento en los niños.
Antioksidan Parametrelere Fenolün Etkisinin Pullu Sazan (Cyprinus carpio)’ da Araştırılması
Authors: Mişe Yonar Serpil , Yonar M. Enis
Published: December 2024

Evsel ve endüstriyel atıklarda yaygın olarak bulunan aromatik bir kimyasal olan fenol, su ekosistemlerine girdiğinde omurgasız ve omurgalıları olumsuz etkilemektedir. Tarımsal kimyasallara olan talebin artmasıyla birlikte, büyük miktarda fenol doğrudan bir yan ürün olarak çevreye salınmaktadır. Fenol ve türevleri çevrede daha uzun süre kalma eğilimindedir ve bu da hem insanlar hem de su ekosistemi için bir tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışmada farklı konsantrasyonlardaki fenolün sazanda (Cyprinus carpio) oksidatif stres ve bazı antioksidan parametrelere etkisini araştırmak amaçlandı. Üç farklı konsantrasyonda fenol (0. 1, 0.25 ve 0.50 ppm) 48 saat süreyle balıklara uygulandı. Deneme sonunda balıklardan alınan dalak örneklerinde oksidatif stresin bir göstergesi olarak malondialdehit düzeyi ile antioksidan parametreler (katalaz, glutatyon peroksidaz ve glutatyon-S-transferaz aktiviteleri ve redükte glutatyon düzeyi) analiz edildi. Fenol verilen grupların doku malondialdehit düzeylerinin kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak yükseldiği belirlendi (p < 0.05). Fenol uygulanan gruplarda doku katalaz ve glutatyon peroksidaz aktiviteleri ve redükte glutatyon düzeylerinin kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı olarak azaldığı tespit edilirken, doku glutatyon-S-transferaz aktivitelerinin istatistiksel olarak önemli düzeyde arttığı belirlendi (p < 0.05).

The integration of Blockchain and Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into decentralized energy supply chain networks offers transformative potential for enhancing efficiency, security, and transparency. This paper explores the application of Blockchain and IoT in creating decentralized, resilient, and transparent energy supply chains. Blockchain's ability to provide secure, immutable, and transparent transaction records, combined with IoT’s real-time data collection and monitoring capabilities, enables the creation of a more efficient energy distribution system. In decentralized energy systems, energy producers, consumers, and other stakeholders can interact directly, bypassing traditional intermediaries, which reduces costs and increases operational transparency. Blockchain technology facilitates peer-to-peer energy trading, ensuring secure and transparent transactions between producers and consumers. This reduces the reliance on centralized grid systems and fosters the growth of microgrids, allowing local communities to generate, store, and trade energy autonomously. IoT devices further enhance this by enabling real-time monitoring of energy generation, storage, consumption, and distribution, ensuring optimal resource management and reducing waste. Through sensors and connected devices, IoT enables energy networks to operate with greater precision, responding in real-time to fluctuations in supply and demand. The combination of Blockchain and IoT also ensures the security of decentralized networks by preventing unauthorized access and cyberattacks, providing a robust framework for energy transactions. Additionally, these technologies support greater traceability and accountability, facilitating compliance with regulatory standards and sustainability goals. This paper discusses the benefits and challenges of implementing Blockchain and IoT in decentralized energy supply chains, including issues of scalability, integration, and regulatory hurdles. Moreover, it examines the future potential of these technologies in revolutionizing energy systems by promoting sustainability, reducing costs, and enhancing supply chain resilience. In conclusion, Blockchain and IoT hold immense promise in reshaping the energy supply chain by enabling decentralized, transparent, and efficient operations. This paper highlights their transformative role in enhancing the energy sector’s security, efficiency, and sustainability.
AI BASED APPROACHES FOR REAL-TIME AIR QUALITY MONITORING IN URBAN ENVIROMENTS (AI BASED FOR AQM)
Authors: Aghazada Firuza
Published: December 2024

Urban air pollution poses a significant threat to human health and environmental
well-being, necessitating novel monitoring solutions. Traditional approaches frequently fail owing
to limits in coverage, resolution, and data dependability. This research presents an innovative AI
driven system designed for real-time air quality monitoring in metropolitan environments. The
suggested system uses a mix of machine learning and deep learning approaches to dramatically
improve prediction accuracy, dependability, and operating efficiency. The integration of AI-based
sensor networks and prediction models is important to this approach, since it allows for the quick
detection of pollution sources and hotspots. Technical implementation entails the use of a variety of
machine learning methods, such as decision trees, random forests, support vector machines, and
279
gradient-boosting machines. Deep learning architectures, most notably the AQNet-CNN model, are
used to interpret time-series sensor data by extracting spatial correlations and identifying patterns
indicative of air pollution levels. Evaluation criteria such as mean absolute error, coefficient of
determination, and root mean square error demonstrate the suggested approach's efficacy. These
findings highlight the need of implementing cutting-edge technology to combat urban air pollution
and promote sustainable urban development. The information utilized in this study was acquired
from air quality sensors positioned across Malta, proving that the suggested framework is relevant
and applicable to metropolitan areas.

Regular management practices are crucial to assessing colonies’ conditions and implementing measures to improve their strength. However, constant revisions can induce stress and even contribute to swarm loss. Therefore, effective management that considers the well-being of the bees is necessary. In order to assist the beekeeper in managing the hives, this study proposes a noninvasive approach integrating Apis mellifera L., 1758 (Hymenoptera: Apidae) colony sound processing with machine learning and deep learning techniques to identify colony strength, essential for the productivity of apiculture. We developed an audio acquisition process focused on colony strength, resulting in a dataset with 3702 samples. We explored features extracted by CNNs, including VGG16, ResNet50, MobileNet, and YOLO, comparing them with cepstral features such as Mel-Frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs). Cepstral features significantly outperformed those extracted by CNN, with MFCCs achieving an accuracy of 95.53%, compared to the 78.99% achieved by the best-performing CNN. These results highlight the effectiveness of MFCCs in accurately identifying hive strength. This work differs from literature because it presents a protocol for categorizing beehives as either weak or strong, with a focus on reducing intervention time. It also includes a public dataset containing MFCCs and Deep Features extracted from audio recorded at different apiaries. Additionally, it offers a method for automatically classifying hives based on their strength. These contributions aim to serve as a knowledge base for the scientific community and to support beekeepers in non-invasive and cost-effective apiary management.
Does Terrorism Hamper Innovation Performance? Yes-New Empirical Evidence from South Asia Region

Published: December 2024

The contemporary literature has argued multiple factors affecting the innovation performance of a country. However, the frequency of studies exploring the terrorism-innovation nexus is quite low. To fill this gap, the current study is another attempt that quantifies the impact of terrorism on innovation performance. For empirical analysis, we utilize the data of South Asian countries over the period 2000 to 2021 and check the regression among variables by employing ARDL (autoregressive distributed lag) model. The consistency of results was checked by including the control variables i.e., FDI inflow, foreign aid, and government subsidies, and by employing the alternative estimation technique i.e., FMOLS (fully modified ordinary least square) model. The analysis infers that terrorism has a significant but negative impact on both RDE (research and development expenditures) and TMA (trademark applications) jointly pronounced as innovation performance. The increase in military expenditures, market uncertainty, and administrative costs are some possible channels through which terrorism hampers innovation. In view of the findings, we can infer the “sand the wheel” role of terrorism in determining innovation. The vital policy implication of the current analysis is that significant efforts should be exerted to ensure peace, and non-state actors responsible for fragile conditions should be handled by iron hands. This study provides robustness to existing studies exploring the terrorism-innovation nexus and adds new thoughts to limited literature.
