The Impact of Funds from the Innovative Economy Operational Program on the R&D&I Performance of Poland
Authors: Wojnicka-Sycz Elżbieta , Sycz Piotr
Published: October 2022

The aim of the article is to review the impact of funds from the Innovative Economy Program on the Research & Development & Innovation (R&D&I  ) performance of Poland. The paper also looks at determinants other than public support which were crucial for achievement of these results based on a systemic definition of innovation. The analysis has shown that innovation policy in the form of grants channeled through the Innovative Economy Operational Program had a clear impact on the strengthening of the R&D activity of Poland, especially those of firms. The effects of it are also visible in the form of the increased international competitiveness of Polish high technology products. However the impact on innovativeness of enterprises as a whole in Poland is not visible. It suggests that crucial would be support for turning R&D efforts into commercial innovations and widening of the number of firms receiving support from public funds, for example in the form of cheap loans to make the competition more even. Nonetheless other determinants of innovativeness like qualified personnel for R&D, the level of industrialization of the economy, the overall situation in the domestic economy as well as transparency are needed to achieve good results in terms of R&D&I.
Use of Indicator Methods for the Purposes of Monitoring Sustainable Energy in the Region
Authors: Trojanowska Małgorzata , Nęcka Krzysztof
Published: October 2022

Implementation of the conception of sustainable energy requires a progress evaluation, which calls for an indicator system for monitoring sustainable energy. In this paper it is proposed to use simultaneously two systems, one based on a set of specific indicators and the other on a synthetic indicator. The usefulness of proposed indicator methods was checked on the example of rural areas of the Śląskie Voivodship by monitoring sustainable energy in given counties in 2004 and 2014.
Village Renewal as an Important Element of Integrated Rural Development
Authors: Pijanowski Jacek
Published: October 2022

In the article the author presents the results of research and implementation works, concerning the possibility of widespread introduction in Polish conditions of the modern principles of the implementation of village renewal programs. Currently, these programs are implemented in a much shallower form, restricted only to investments in selected items of social and technical infrastructure. Apart from Opolskie Voivodship – and part of Dolnośląskie and Pomorskie voivodships — its full potential within village renewal of the building of social capital in rural areas is not used. In addition, a properly executed village renewal project may contribute to the protection and development of natural elements in rural settlements.
Economic and Ecological Efficiency of Solar Systems. A Case Study at the Gorzków and Rudnik Communes
Authors: Gradziuk Piotr , Gradziuk Barbara
Published: October 2022

The objective of the study was to assess the economic and ecological efficiency of solar systems used to prepare domestic hot water. The study was carried out at 501 sites in the communes of Gorzków and Rudnik (Krasnystaw County, Lubelskie Voivodship), mainly households, in the years 2014–2015. The results indicate that solar collectors used to prepare domestic hot water and financed by the investors’ own resources can be economically efficient, but the payback period for the investment depends on the type and quantity of energy carrier saved. The most beneficial effects were obtained at sites where water was heated using equipment powered by electricity and natural gas. In the case of coal savings, the payback period was longer than the lifespan of the solar installations. The use of solar collectors to heat domestic hot water (DHW) in the Gorzków and Rudnik communes led to a reduction in emissions of CO2, the primary greenhouse gas, as well as other substances. The study shows that the most beneficial cost-effectiveness of CO2 emission reduction was obtained by reducing the use of electricity, while the highest cost-effectiveness indicator was noted for gas installations.

Authors: Kijowski Andrzej , Mania Wojciech , Stelmach Jacek , Kijowska Jolanta
Published: October 2022

W artykule przedstawiono problematykę wykorzystania zdjęć lotniczych w postępowaniach sądowych dotyczących własności gruntu. Główne rodzaje postępowań, w których materiały teledetekcyjne mogą być stosowane dotyczą: spraw dotyczących zasiedzenia, rozgraniczenia, nabywania służebności przez zasiedzenie oraz dotyczące wygaśnięciu służebności. Artykuł przedstawia także metodykę opracowania opinii w sprawie zastosowania zdjęć lotniczych dla postępowania sądowego. Zmiany polityczne i gospodarcze, jakie zaszły w Polsce po 1989 roku przyczyniły się do zwiększenia dostępności dokumentów wcześniej traktowanych jako poufne. W szczególności dotyczyło to materiałów kartograficznych oraz zdjęć lotniczych. Zmiany te były wynikiem szybkiego rozwoju technologii informatycznych wspomagających przetwarzanie i udostępnianie informacji. Obie te procedury są również promowane przez integrację ze strukturami Unii Europejskiej, w szczególności ratyfikacji dyrektywy INSPIRE w 2007 roku, której celem jest ustanowienie ram prawnych dla tworzenia infrastruktury przestrzennej w Europie. Pozwoli to sądom, na korzystanie ze źródeł teledetekcji, zwłaszcza zdjęć lotniczych. Jednak szersze wykorzystanie teledetekcji i źródeł kartograficznych w sądach wymaga korzystania z biegłych, którzy dzięki swojej wiedzy w dziedzinie interpretacji treści zdjęć lotniczych uzyskać informacje o stopniu władania gruntem w wyżej wymienionych i opisywanych w artykule sprawach.
Uwarunkowania rozwoju a wizerunek miasta. Przykład Łodzi
Authors: Tobiasz-Lis Paulina
Published: October 2022

Nowe koncepcje rozwoju lokalnego i regionalnego, coraz większe znaczenie przypisują relacjom społecznym i terytorialnym. Znajomość emocjonalnego stosunku użytkowników do przestrzeni wydaje się kluczowa z perspektywy tworzenia i realizacji strategii rozwoju miast i regionów, w tym kształtowania ich wizerunku, który uznaje się za jeden z elementów szeroko pojętego kapitału terytorialnego. Badania nad sposobem postrzegania przestrzeni i samej przestrzeni doświadczanej przez człowieka prowadzone są przez przedstawicieli różnych dyscyplin społecznych, w tym geografii, od drugiej połowy XX wieku. Wobec dynamicznych przemian, a także nowych sposobów doświadczania przestrzeni przez człowieka, które obserwujemy współcześnie, potencjał geografii percepcji jako jednej z naukowych perspektyw oglądu współczesnego świata, jest ciągle istotny. Celem artykułu jest ocena kształtowania wizerunku Łodzi w latach 2005–2014 na tle uwarunkowań współczesnego rozwoju miasta. Działania podejmowane przez lokalne władze zestawiono z wynikami badań dotyczących społecznej percepcji Łodzi prowadzonych w latach 2004–2014. Na tej podstawie można wysunąć wnioski o stosunkowo trwałym charakterze negatywnych wyobrażeń na temat Łodzi i powolnych, pozytywnych zmianach w tym zakresie dzięki konsekwentnym i skoordynowanym działaniom skoncentrowanym wokół realizacji strategii promocji i komunikacji marketingowej marki Łódź.
Znaczenie badań geograficznych w poprawie jakości planowania przestrzennego w jednostkach samorządu terytorialnego różnego szczebla
Authors: Baran-Zgłobicka Bogusława , Harasimiuk Marian
Published: October 2022

Badania geograficzne obejmują analizy przestrzenne zjawisk przyrodniczych, ekonomicznych i społecznych, dlatego są tak bardzo ważne w procesie zarządzania przestrzenią. Dobre rozpoznanie uwarunkowań przyrodniczych stanowi podstawę prawidłowego formułowania polityki przestrzennej jednostek samorządu terytorialnego różnego szczebla. Nadrzędnym celem pracy jest identyfikacja obszarów problemowych w planowaniu przestrzennym, w których należy szerzej wykorzystać badania geograficzne. Przedstawiono w niej ocenę opracowań strategiczno-planistycznych wybranych gmin pod kątem jakości informacji przyrodniczej oraz zasad gospodarowania zasobami środowiska i ich ochrony. Stwierdzono, iż w wielu przypadkach treści dokumentów w tym zakresie są niepełne. Jednocześnie im niższy szczebel planowania, tym bardziej brakuje szczegółowej informacji przyrodniczej. Zwrócono również uwagę na potrzebę włączenia świadczeń ekosystemów do bilansu ekonomicznego w planowaniu i gospodarce przestrzennej, ale przy większym udziale przyrodników. Wskazano wybrane problemy związane z realizacją zapisów tzw. ustawy krajobrazowej oraz zarządzania geoparkami.

Authors: Lis Anna , Romanowska Ewa
Published: October 2022

The main aim of the paper is the analysis of the effects of actions undertaken so far that have aimed at shaping brand awareness of the parks in Eastern Poland supported under the Operational Programme Development of Eastern Poland. The authors focused on the demand-side perspective and scrutinized two vectors of conscious branding: the surrounding environment and communication with customers. The group of potential customers underwent qualitative research (ITI interviews). The research in the group of the actual customers was conducted by means of quantitative methods (CAPI and CATI interviews). The results of the study indicate the lack of knowledge of the parks’ functioning, the lack of awareness of the benefits that could be achieved while cooperating with parks, low effectiveness of the existing forms of promotion of the parks, but also the high needs for innovation support among entrepreneurs. On the basis of the study results, the authors formulated recommendations for improving the promotion of parks.
Methods of Estimating Waste Accumulation Rate in Rural Areas of the Lubelskie Voivodship
Authors: Szul Tomasz , Nęcka Krzysztof
Published: October 2022

The study compared the effectiveness of the rough set theory and artificial neural networks with respect to predicting the rate of waste mass accumulation for recipients in the areas of rural municipalities. Simulations were performed for two variants of input variables. The first of them used all economic, infrastructure and economic indicators as independent variables. The second case was limited only to those whose correlation with the class label attribute exceeded 0,2  and they included: population density, percentage of buildings in the municipality covered by the collection system, the rate of income, and agricultural area. The analysis showed that rough sets’ models generate comparable-quality forecasts of mass waste accumulation rate for rural municipalities, such as artificial neural networks. The developed models are characterized by a high forecast error of about 20%–27%. Further research is needed towards finding effective methods or other conditional attributes that describe the rate of mass accumulation of waste in the areas of rural municipalities.

Przedmiotem niniejszego artykułu jest jedna z form akademickiej przedsiębiorczości polegającej na sprzedaży akademickich wynalazków w postaci patentów lub licencji. Celem artykułu jest wskazanie powodów, dla których badacze akademiccy z Dolnego Śląska nie angażują się w proces komercjalizacji stworzonych przez siebie wynalazków. Na podstawie informacji uzyskanych podczas wywiadów bezpośrednich z badaczami akademickimi z Dolnego Śląska można stwierdzić, iż główną barierą przedsiębiorczości akademickiej na Dolnym Śląsku jest stosowanie nieadekwatnych instrumentów polityki gospodarczej, skłaniających badaczy akademickich jedynie do generowania wynalazków i zgłaszania ich do ochrony patentowej, lecz w niewielkim stopniu motywujących do angażowania się w komercjalizację badań.
Verifying the Performance of Multiple Linear Regression in Predicting the Indicator of Mass Accumulation of Waste. The Case of Lubelskie Voivodship
Authors: Szul Tomasz , Nęcka Krzysztof
Published: October 2022

In this study, the effectiveness of classical regression models to forecast the indicator of mass accumulation of waste was investigated. The economic and infrastructural variables were used as explanatory variables. The conducted studies show that applying regression models can produce forecasting models generating errors at an acceptable level although only for the municipalities of urban and urban-rural administrative type. For the models where the following were selected as explanatory variables: income indicator, mean number of persons living in a residential building, proportion of arable land in the structure of land use, percentage of buildings in the municipality covered by the waste collection scheme, and the functional type of municipality, the error in the forecast obtained for the test set amounted to 12%–14%. Using the same set of explanatory variables for the rural municipalities caused the models to display forecasting errors for the test set ranging from 35% to 50%. Also, applying another combination of input variables gathered in the course of the studies did not result in developing models of better quality. Therefore, further studies are necessary in the search for more effective methods or other variables describing the mass waste accumulation indicator in rural municipalities.
Migration Flows form New Member States and the Prospect of Britain’s Withdrawal from the European Union
Authors: Dąbrowska Izabela
Published: October 2022

Ever since the European Union expanded to admit first eights Central and Eastern European countries in 2004, and then two more in 2007, internal migration has become a major social and political matter especially in Britain, which is one of the main destinations for thousands of migrants. This article builds on the body of data provided by British national institutions to examine the kingdom’s economic interests in revising its own deal in European migration policy. It presents the contemporary concerns with migrants’ flows from new member states in the wider perspective of Britain’s complex relationship with Europe and its own contested integration with the Union. The paper’s main objective though is to argue whether questioning the existing integration principles, including the principle of free movement, is justified or whether it has just become a convenient matter in the discussion on Britain’s likely withdrawal from the organization in 2017.

Authors: Zydroń Adam , Zbierska Anna , Szczepański Piotr
Published: October 2022

The aim of the study was to analyse the dependence between nature conservation instruments and the percentage of land covered by local spatial development plans and to assess the effect of conservation areas on the type of spatial management in a commune. The material for the analyses comprised local spatial development plans, an administrative decision concerning terms of construction and land management (the WZiZT decision) and administrative decisions on location of public purpose investment projects (LPP decisions) issued in the years 2004–2012. Based on the Mosina commune (in Wielkopolskie Province) an analysis was conducted on land allocated to individual land use forms in spatial development plans as well as their distribution in relation to existing land surface conservation areas. The study investigated the issue of whether the current spatial planning approach at the commune level covering all land within the boundaries of conservation areas with spatial development plans ensures rational spatial management.

Published: October 2022

The Natura 2000 network includes Special Areas of Conservation SACs (habitat refuges coded PLH ) and Special Protection Areas SPA (bird refuges coded PLB). The objective of the network, covering the member states of the European Union, is the preservation of natural habitats and plant and animal species threatened with extinction on a European scale, as well as typical, commonly occurring natural habitats. Currently in Poland the Natura 2000 network covers almost 1/5 of the land surface. It includes 849 Sites of Community Importance (“habitat” areas — potential special areas of habitat conservation), and 145 special protection areas for birds. The region of Roztocze includes, entirely or in part, three bird refuges (PLB060012 Roztocze, PLB060008 Puszcza Solska, PLB060021 Dolina Sołokiji ) and 12 habitat refuges (PLH060070 Borowa Góra, PLH060003 Debry, PLH180017 Horyniec, PLH060089 Minokąt, PLH060017 Roztocze Środkowe, PLH060020 Sztolnie w Senderkach, PLH060022 Święty Roch, PLH060094 Uroczyska Lasów Adamowskich, PLH060034 Uroczyska Puszczy Solskiej, PLH060093 Uroczyska Roztocza Wschodniego, PLH060028 Zarośle, and PLH060029 Żurawce).

Struktura i percepcja krajobrazu turystycznego Zwierzyńca
Authors: Skowronek Ewa , Tucki Andrzej , Jóźwik Marta
Published: October 2022

Ze względu na wybitne walory środowiska przyrodniczego i kulturowe, Zwierzyniec jest jednym z najbardziej znanych i najczęściej odwiedzanych przez turystów miast położonych na Roztoczu. Tradycje miejscowości wypoczynkowej wywodzą się z XVI w., kiedy powstała tutaj wiejska rezydencja Zamoyskich. W ciągu kolejnych stuleci miejscowość pełniła jeszcze inne funkcje: administracyjną i przemysłową, z czym wiązały się kolejne etapy rozwoju jej krajobrazu. Prowadzone działania gospodarcze nie przyczyniły się jednak do zniszczenia wielkoprzestrzennej kompozycji miasta. Współcześnie o atrakcyjności Zwierzyńca decyduje przede wszystkim unikalny krajobraz naturalny, wynikający z położenia na granicy dwóch odmiennych subregionów — lessowego Roztocza Zachodniego i wapienno-piaszczystego Roztocza Środkowego, obecność malowniczych dolin rzek Wieprza i Świerszcza, stawów Echo, zalewu Rudka oraz otoczenie w postaci lasów kosobudzko-zwierzynieckich (objętych ochroną prawną jako Roztoczański Park Narodowy od 1974 roku). Wpływają one na rozwój jego funkcji turystycznej. Jej przejawem jest charakterystyczny krajobraz wyposażony w walory i atrakcje oraz niezbędne elementy zagospodarowania turystycznego, który wzbudza zainteresowanie i powoduje, że każdego roku przybywa tutaj ponad 100 tysięcy turystów. W artykule na przykładzie Zwierzyńca dokonano analizy składowych krajobrazu turystycznego oraz przeprowadzono badania jego percepcji wśród mieszkańców i turystów.

Published: October 2022

The area of the Poniatowski Hill, the subject of this research, is located in the architectural and landscape complex of Nałęczów spa, which is inscribed in the monuments register of Lubelskie Voivodship. At present, the hill is covered by dry-ground forest. The area is neglected and undoubtedly deserves restoration to the proper aesthetics. The location near the center of the town creates a need for arrangement of the terrain and adaptation for recreation and rest. Owing to the commitment of the authorities of Nałęczów and the local community, the idea of development design of the Poniatówka, as the hill is known, has been conceived. The design process has been preceded by complex analysis of the terrain and the project was framed on the basis of the outcomes. The conception complies with the necessity to maintain the hill in the least altered shape.
Potencjalne zmiany emisji zanieczyszczeń powietrza wskutek zastąpienia paliw kopalnych biomasą wierzby
Authors: Kościk Bogdan , Szmidt Katarzyna , Kowalczyk-Juśko Alina , Mazur Zbigniew , Kwapisz Monika
Published: October 2022

W pracy przeprowadzono analizę porównawczą emisji SO2, NOx, CO, CO2 oraz pyłu w przeliczeniu na jednostkę energii wytworzonej z biomasy wierzby, węgla kamiennego i oleju opałowego lekkiego. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych obliczeń stwierdzono, że spalanie węgla kamiennego powoduje ponad osiemdziesięciokrotne, a oleju opałowego czterokrotne, zwiększenie emisji SO2 w odniesieniu do biomasy. Ilość NOx, przeliczona na NO2, powstającego podczas spalania węgla i oleju opałowego jest odpowiednio wyższa o 21% i niższa o 26%. Wykorzystanie węgla powoduje, że emisja CO jest mniejsza o 5% aniżeli w przypadku spalania biomasy, a oleju opałowego — mniejsza o 99%. Produkcja energii z badanych paliw kopalnych wiąże się z emisją CO2 wyższą o ok. 15–17% niż z paliwa odnawialnego. Emisja pyłu zawieszonego okazała się prawie dwukrotnie wyższa w przypadku węgla kamiennego w porównaniu do zrębek wierzby, zaś najmniejszą ilość tych zanieczyszczeń — dwudziestotrzykrotnie mniej — powodowało wykorzystanie oleju opałowego.

THE UNSUNG SINGERS: OTHER 'NEW' NIGERIAN POETS
Authors: ETIOWO JOY M. , AGANTIEM A. A.
Published: October 2022

The many attempts by literary critics to bring “writers from the fringe” to the fore of critical attention have been invaluable in promoting literary scholarship in Nigeria. However, because the Nigeria literary landscape is fertile, there are “omissions” of “new” writers whenever there is a new anthology. This paper is another attempt to bring to critical discourse the poetry of some “new” writers including Anthony Ada, Moses Effiong, Onyekachi Onuoha, Mercy Envorh, among others. The newness of these poets lies not only in their entry into the craft but also in the focus on their craft for critical acknowledgement and judgement by those who should do so. The paper is concerned with their handling of themes and their deployment of linguistic resources for achieving this.

Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the actual problems in the structure of oncological pathology in the world and in Kazakhstan. In the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma, the use of multiphase computed tomography is generally accepted. The article describes the analysis of the results of multiphase computer tomography with the correlation of cytological and histological studies in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Present study aimed to conduct a retrospective analysis of the results of multiphase computer tomography in patients with hepatocellular carcinoma
Analyzed the archival data of 50 patients with malignant liver tumors, who received specialized treatment at the A.N. Syzganov National scientific center of surgery and Kazakh Scientific Research Institute of Oncology and Radiology in the period 2014 - 2017. All patients underwent multiphase computed tomography. The examination was carried out in 4 phases: native, arterial, port-venous and delayed. The scan was performed on the 30th, 60th and 120 second (respectively) after the administration of contrast agent.
The nodular form was detected in 76% of cases. If in 60% of cases the tumor was localized in the right lobe of the liver, and in 18% of cases - in the left, the lesion of both lobes was observed in 22% of cases. The sizes of the tumors were from 1 cm to 21.1 cm, and the average size of all nodes was 10.6 cm. The outlines of the tumors were uneven, but clearly defined in 92% of cases. In 94% of cases, the density of the formations was hypodense, the structure was heterogeneous with areas of increased and decreased density. The presence of central necrosis in the form of an “asterisk” was visualized in 8% of cases. The non-intensive inhomogeneous hyperenhancement in the arterial phase, with complete “washout” into the porto-venous phase, as well as in the porto-venous and delayed phases, was observed in 6% and 12% cases, respectively. In 80% of cases, hyperenhancement was observed in the arterial and venous phases. At the same time, complete erosion in the delayed phase was observed in 60% of cases, and incomplete leaching - 20%. In cytological studies, hepatocellular carcinoma was confirmed in 69.7% of cases. In 93.1% of cases, hepatocellular carcinoma was confirmed in histological studies.
The nodes of hepatocellular carcinoma in most cases were characterized by clear, uneven contours, hypodense density, heterogeneous structure due to foci of necrosis and cystic component. When the tumor was bolus contrasted, hyperenhancement was in the arterial and port-venous phases, with “washout” in the delayed phase in most cases. According to the received data it can be said that multiphase computed tomography has high information value in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
Recommended tactics for mass vaccination of healthy individuals and COVID-19 convalescents
Authors: Zilfyan A.V. , Avagyan S.A. , Muradyan A.A. , Barsegyan E.S.
Published: October 2022

This article presents our views on main scientific and methodological approaches regarding the advantages of conducting mass vaccination of healthy individuals and COVID-19 convalescents.
First of all, the focus is on issues regarding the antigenic potencies of SARS-CoV-2, based on which vaccines have been created over the past three years that have successfully passed preclinical and clinical testing, as well as licensing. The subjects of specal discussion were aspects related to the short-term effect of the main vaccines, as a result of which revaccination is recommended. It is assumed that more than one antigenic determinant is expressed on the surface of SARS-CoV-2.
In the conclusion paragraph, we have presented our own concept on most topical situational issues among the population of many countries in the process of vaccination against COVID-19.
Is it worth getting vaccinated at all if complications can arise that lead to disability and death even in practically healthy individuals, not to mention the elderly contingent with chronic diseases?
In making a positive decision, the question arises in terms of choosing a vaccine, since vaccines are used in different countries, in the production of which different scientific, methodological and technological approaches are used.
If there is a need for re-vaccination within a short period after the first vaccination?
As a rule, it is recommended to re-vaccinate in 14-30 days after the first vaccination. In this regard, there are concerns about the low efficacy (weak selective immunogenic activity) of vaccines.
How expedient, if not contraindicated, is to “fully” vaccinate patients in the recovery period, as well as over the next one to two months, if they have high levels of SARS-CoV-2 antibodies?
In case of re-vaccination, it is necessary to find out whether it is possible to get the second vaccination using a commercial vaccine of another manufacturer, especially since many developing countries do not currently have such a vaccine that has been introduced during the first vaccination.
How competent is it to vaccinate a wide range of healthy individuals against COVID-19 and influenza - for the same time or with the shortest time interval?

Today, it has been proven that saliva is the main medium through which the new COVID-19 coronavirus infection spreads. Since the oral cavity is the gateway for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the degree of change in the physicochemical parameters of the saliva of people who have had coronavirus infection compared to people who have not had COVID-19 is of interest.
This study involved dental patients of the first and second health groups with a history of chronic generalized periodontitis of moderate degree in the stage of remission. We studied physicochemical parameters of saliva such as pH, surface tension and base buffering capacity. The results of this stage of the study showed saliva acidification, that is a decrease in pH in people who had had a new coronavirus infection compared to the indicators of people from the control group. The average values of the surface tension of saliva in patients of the control group are 30% less than in those who have had COVID-19. This indicates that the saliva of people who have not been sick with the new coronavirus contains more surface-active agents (surfactants). Surfactants provide rinsing and disinfecting functions of saliva, therefore, it can be concluded that these functions are less pronounced in patients who have recovered from COVID-19. The base buffering capacity of the saliva of patients who have had COVID-19 is, on average, 35% higher than that of people from the control group. Thus, the pH and the base buffering capacity are in correlation: the lower the pH value, the higher the acidity of the saliva and the higher the base buffering capacity is.
At the second stage of the study, similar physicochemical parameters of patients’ saliva were measured after the application of an oral spray containing a synthetic peptide (ZP2) of the active center of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. This spray was used as an antibacterial therapy for the oral cavity after professional hygiene of patients. In 5 minutes after spray irrigation, an increase in saliva pH was observed in all test subjects within the physiological norm. In patients, regardless of their anamnesis, the surface tension of saliva changed in different ways. In a number of people, it increased, which indicates an increase in the concentration of surfactants in saliva, while in others it decreased, which can be explained by the high rate of penetration of surfactants from saliva through the gums into the blood. After the application of the ZP-2 peptide, the base buffering capacity of saliva decreases or remains unchanged. In patients of the control group, the indicators of the base buffering capacity of saliva change less than in patients who have undergone COVID-19.
All the studied physicochemical parameters of saliva in patients who had had uncomplicated COVID-19, three months after receiving two negative results for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, remained within the physiological norm.

Published: October 2022

Solar energy is one of the largest energy potentials that Indonesia has, which can be utilized in solar heater that are integrated with latent heat energy storage (LHTES). This research aims to investigate the effects of the operating conditions of flow rate and inlet temperature on the performance of the annulus type Low-Temperature LHTES using Computational fluid dynamics method in which the enthalpy-porosity is used as the solidification model. The results indicate that the increase of performance can be obtained by increasing the flow rate and inlet temperature. The increase in flow rate will promote higher heat transfer thus produce better performance up to 11.91% and 24.91% during charging and discharging, respectively. Meanwhile, increasing the inlet temperature will increase the performance up to 192.72% during charging and 13.07% during discharging of the Low-Temperature LHTES system.
Synthesis and Characterization of Antibacterial ZnO - Functionalized Polysulfone Membrane
Authors: Rumintang Ribka , Rachman Rinaldi Medali
Published: October 2022

Membrane technology is an emerging alternative in water treatment. This study aims to synthesize a filtration membrane made of polysulfone polymer with the addition of ZnO in order to enhanced the membrane antibacterial/antibiofouling property. The membrane was manufactured via Non-Induced Phase Separation (NIPS) phase inversion of the polymer casting solution. The composition of ZnO was varied into 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, and 3%. The results of the membrane synthesis were characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), pure water permeability test, and selectivity test with a turbid meter. The hydrophilic properties of the membrane were analysed by measuring the contact angle, and the antibacterial characteristics were analyzed by the disc diffusion test. Analysis by FTIR showed the presence of a sulfone functional group (S=O) derived from polysulfone polymer and a methyl functional group (C-H) derived from PEG. SEM analysis showed that each variation of the polysulfone membrane had an upper surface structure that was close to the honeycomb structure. The pure air permeability test shows that the membrane is porous and able to pass through pure air. Selectivity test with a turbid meter showed that the membrane is selective to the feed stream that passes through it. Analysis of contact angle measurements showed that the polysulfone membrane surface was hydrophilic. Antibacterial activity analysis showed that polysulfone membrane had antibacterial ability with the largest zone of inhibition with a value 1.8 mm on the membrane with the largest concentration of ZnO.
The Effect of Addition of SnO2 Doping on The Electronic Structure of TiO2 Thin Film as Photo-Anode in DSSC Applications
Authors: Prayogi Soni , Marzuki Marza Ikhsan
Published: October 2022

Photoanode is a component of the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSCc) which is synthesized from metal oxide semiconductor material with nanoparticle size deposited on transparent conductive glass. TiO2 powder was synthesized by mixing 20 mL of Titanium (III) chloride (TiCl3) with 100 mL of the equator and stirred for 1 hour. TiO2-SnO2 thin films have been successfully synthesized using the coprecipitation method and coated on ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) substrate by doctor-blade technique. The structure and morphology of the films were investigated by XRD and SEM respectively. The analysis of optical characteristics shows that the absorbance of TiO2 photoanode is in the wavelength range of 300-600 nm while SnO2 is in the wavelength range of 300-870 nm. The results showed that the synthesized film with SnO2 had a stronger anatase formation than the film with pure TiO2. Finally, incorporating SnO2 into the TiO2 matrix is an effective strategy to improve the overall properties of solar cells in future applications
Understanding Holiness in Exodus 3 from the Lens of Biblical Spirituality
Authors: Tabile Sheldon
Published: October 2022

Holiness is studied from the lens of Biblical Spirituality. Situated in the Divine-Huma relational process, the movement from being un-holy to holy; from being unclean to Divine Purity is given close attention. God as the רק קדוש, draws his people into Himself through purification and in intimacy with Him. The human reality responds with respect and reverence not only to God but to his people as well. However, God has a special preference for the poor and helpless for the clothes them with Himself like a soldier wears his armor. Through a spiritual reading of Exodus 3 and other related Scriptural narratives, these understanding of holiness is surfaced specifically, in the lived experience of Holiness, its nearness in day-to-day life.

Phenomenological Investigation of Interiorization in the Spiritual Life
Authors: Tabile Sheldon
Published: October 2022

The paper, as reflected in the title, uses the method of phenomenology in investigating interiorization in spirituality. The project is carried out as it investigates the 98 appearances of interiorization in Dictionaire de Spiritualite and 33 appearances of interiorization and related words in Kees Waajman’s Spirituality: Forms, Foundations, and Methods. The description of these appearances where placed side by side/on top of each other noting the difference but more importantly, surfacing the invariable. Further, they were explored through the paradigms of spirituality namely, poles of reality, praxes in spiritual life; movements, moments and transformation. The paper phenomenology describes interiorization as a process/movement within the reciprocity of Divine-Human dialogical relationship, a movement that is essentially transformative. Interiorization is a transformative mystical dialogue.

PENGARUH KOMUNIKASI GURU DAN TEMAN SEBAYA TERHADAP HASIL BELAJAR SISWA PADA MATA PELAJARAN AKIDAH AKHLAK DI MTs AL-IMAM ABI YAZID AL-BASTHOMIY
Authors: Yusuf Muhammad
Published: October 2022

Komunikasi guru dalam proses pembelajaran sangatlah penting. Guru yang kurang mampu berkumunikasi dengan baik pada saat menyampaikan materi pembelajaran, maka berdampak sulitnya siswa dalam menerima materi yang diajarkan oleh guru. Dan selain komunikasi, faktor lain yang dapat mempengaruhi hasil belajar akidah akhlak adalah teman saya.

Penelitin ini menggunakan penelitian kuantitatif, uji coba instrumen penelitian bertempat di MTs Al Imam Abi Yazid Al Basthomiy. Populasi pada penelitian ini seluruh siswa di MTs Al Imam Abi Yazid Al Basthomiy yang berjumlah 150 orang. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan melalui angket.  

Berdasarkan analis regresi R = 0,753 dengan koefisian determinansi atau R Square = 0,567 dengan demikian dapat dikatakan bahwa pengaruh komunikasi guru dan teman sebaya terhadap hasil belajar siswa pada mata pelajaran akidah akhlak pada penilitian ini sebesar 56,7 % dan 43,3% berpengaruh dengan faktor lain yaitu bimbingan guru, media pembelajaran, metode belajar, lingkungan sosial, lingkungan keluarga selain komunikasi guru dan teman sebaya dan diperoleh regresi Y =  10,919 + 0,606 (X1) + 0, 341 (X2) = 11,866. Maka benarlah teori yang menyatakan semakin baik komunikasi guru maka semakin baiklah hasil belajar siswa dan semakin bagus pengaruh teman sebaya, maka hasil belajar juga berpengaruh.

Minat belajar besar pengaruh nya terhadap belajar karena jika bahan pelajaran yang dipelajari tidak sesuai dengan minat siswa, siswa tidak akan belajar dengan sebaik-baiknya. Kegiatan belajar mengajar dapat berjalan dengan baik apabila anak memiliki minat belajar yang tinggi. Siswa yang tidak memiliki minat belajar akan merasa malas dan tidak semangat dalam mengikuti pembelajaran. Penelitin ini menggunakan penelitian kuantitatif, uji coba instrumen penelitian bertempat di SMA Lancang Kuning. Populasi pada penelitian ini sebagian siswa di SMA Lancang Kuning yang berjumlah 39 orang. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan melalui angket. Berdasarkan analis regresi R = 0,089 dengan koefisian determinansi atau R Square = 0,008 dengan demikian dapat dikatakan bahwa pengaruh minat belajar dan kebiasaan belajar terhadap hasil belajar siswa pada penilitian ini sebesar 0,8% dan 99,2% berpengaruh dengan faktor lain yaitu bimbingan guru, metode belajar, lingkungan keluarga selain komunikasi guru dan teman sebaya dan diperoleh regresi Y =  6,691 + 0,686 (X1) + 0, 430 (X2). Maka benarlah teori yang menyatakan semakin baik minat belajar siswa maka semakin baiklah hasil belajar siswa dan semakin bagus kebiasaan belajar, maka hasil belajar juga berpengaruh.
