LEGAL TERMS AND RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LABOUR LAW AND EMPLOYMENT LAW
Authors: Świątkowski Andrzej Marian
Published: February 2023

The author considers the possibility of replacing the legal terms: work, labour law, employment relations with such terms as employment, employment law and employment relations. In his opinion, such a change in legal terminology is not justified. This is because not all employed persons have the legal status of an employee. Already in the interwar period, the legalnorms in force at that time did not consider civil law services consisting in providing work as employment under an employment relationship. In the currently binding Polish Constitution andin the provisions of the Labour Code, the terms work and employment are used. However, they were not defined by the legislator. On the other hand, the legal concepts were defined - employee and employer as well as defined terms of employment of employees. For this reason, employee rights were granted only to employees. On the other hand, those employed today byentrepreneurs on electronic platforms do not use employee rights. Such a situation requires the legislator to objectively and clearly define the legal role in which employees and service providersperforming work should play today. According to the author, it is justified to introduce objective competition rules in European labor and employment relations.
APPLICATION OF THE CRITERION OF DISPOSABILITY AS A FORM OF INDIRECT DISCRIMINATION IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP
Authors: Tlatlik Justyna
Published: February 2023

Employers often list disposability as one of the recruitment requirements in job advertisements. However, it is not clear what employers actually expect from candidates when formulating such a criterion. This results in the risk that employers, by requiring applicants to be disposable, will expose themselves to charges of indirect discrimination on the basis ofe.g. sex, age, family situation, disability or health
NON-UNION REPRESENTATIVES OF EMPLOYEES
Authors: Sierocka Iwona
Published: February 2023

The subject of the article are issues concerning the employees representatives chosen in the manner adopted by the employer. In the area of labor law, non-union representatives of employees are in some respects inferior to trade unions. First of all, they are of a subsidiary nature. They are established in the absence of trade union organizations in order to take specific actions, after which their mandate expires. Sometimes these representations, like trade unions, are at liberty to conclude an agreement, and sometimes their competencies are limited to provide counsel. However, in the matter of social security, the legal position of the non-union representatives of employees very often is similar to that of trade unions

Published: February 2023

The present study was carried out to investigate the in vivo betalain content in bract and leaf of some bougainvillea cultivars and to develop a reliable, rapid and efficient callus induction protocol. The maximum betacyanin content in bracts was recorded in the cv. Bhabha (2.68 mg/g FW) followed by cv. Rao (2.40 mg/g FW). The maximum betaxanthin content in bracts was recorded in the cv. Lady Mary Baring (1.27 mg/g FW). The maximum betacyanin content in leaf was recorded in the cv. Dr H B Singh (0.58 mg/g FW), while the maximum betaxanthin content in leaf was recorded in the cv. Bhabha (0.73 mg/g FW). The total betalain content in bract was estimated to be maximum in the cv. Bhabha (3.60 mg/g FW) followed by cv. Rao (3.36 mg/g FW). The total betalain content in leaf was highest in cv. Bhabha followed by cv. Dr R R Pal. Of the different treatments employed for callus induction on Murashige and Skoogâ€™s (MS) medium using leaf explants in bougainvillea cv. Bhabha, the treatment comprising 6 mg/l 2,4-D recorded maximum induction coefficient (98.75%) and minimum days (8.50) was required for callus initiation. In case of internodal explants the induction coefficient was lower and more number of days was required for callus initiation. No callus induction was recorded on bract. Absolutely no callus induction was noted on the MS basal medium devoid of plant hormones (control). The maximum gain in callus biomass accumulation, in both the explants, in terms of fresh and dry cell weight was recorded in the callus cultured on MS medium supplemented with 6 mg/l 2,4-D. This treatment also resulted in lowest fresh and dry cell weight ratio in leaf and internodal explants. Wounding of leaf explants was found to be beneficial for accelerating the callogenesis process. The multiplication of callus was satisfactory on MS medium supplemented with doubled quantity of vitamins and 6 mg/l 2,4-D.

Published: February 2023

The studies on pollinator complex and their impact on fruit set, yield and quality characters of litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) cv Shahi with reference to Apis mellifera L. was carried at ICAR-NRC on Litchi, Muzaffarpur (Bihar) India, during 2014-15. The 20 pollinator species under 23 genera of 8 families belonging to orders Diptera, Hymenoptera and Coleoptera were recorded. Honey bee species Apis dorsata F; Apis mellifera L; Apis cerana F. and Apis florea F. were the most important and efficient pollinators of litchi flowers and constitutes more than 65% of the total pollinators. Other than Apis genera important pollinators were Episyrphus balteatus, Melipona sp, Syrpus sp, Erisyrphus sp, etc. The activity of A. mellifera visiting the flowers was highest (9.66 foragers/panicle/5 min). Correlation and regression analysis revealed that all honey bee species differed in their responses to temperature, light intensity and solar radiation, the three most important factors in foraging behavior. The yield was significantly higher in completely open pollinated plant as compared to A. mellifera pollinated plant. The qualitative and quantitative parameters, viz. fruit size, fruit weight, the maximum seed weight, seed size and TSS were found higher with open pollinated plants followed by A. mellifera pollination.

Published: February 2023

A crop forecast is a statement of the most likely magnitude of yield or production of a crop. It is made on the basis of known facts on a given date and it assumes that the weather conditions and damages during the remainder of the growing season will be about the same as the average of previous year. The present paper deals with use of non-linear regression analysis for developing wheat yield forecast model for Allahabad district (India). A novel statistical approach attempted in this study to use nonlinear models with different weather variables and their indices and compare them to identify a suitable forecasting model. Time series yield data of 40 years (1970-2010) and weather data for the year 1970-71 to 2009-10 have been utilized. The models have been used to forecast yield in the subsequent three years 2008-09 to 2009-10 (which were not included in model development). The approach provided reliable yield forecast about two months before harvest.
Reinterpreting Asiatic Representation in the Pictorial Space of Whistler’s Purple and Rose: The Lange Leizen of the Six Marks
Authors: Shen Xinyan
Published: February 2023

The presence of East Asian decorative art and objects were prevalent during the 19th and 20th century, and these exquisitely refined objects inspired many artists to include them in their paintings. Among the artists who sought them for aesthetic innovation and perfection through East Asian art during the Aesthetic Movement, James Abbot McNeill Whistler was one who felt the most influence of East Asian art, and most successfully demonstrated and incorporated them into his own paintings. The oil painting Purple and Rose: The Lange Leizen of the Six Marks is a representational piece that displays Whistler’s taste and understanding towards East Asian art, through which the artist reveled in the joy of portraying pure aesthetic beauty, showing his enthusiasm for Oriental art. This paper approaches through a visual analysis of Whistler’s painting, The Lange Leizen of the Six Marks, to explicate the entanglements of Japonisme elements and blue and white porcelains, as well as the fantasized image of East Asia and China and the commonly stereotyped femininity associated with these objects.
Construction projects of the German occupier in Kamnik
Authors: Hančič Damjan
Published: February 2023

During the Second World War, the area of Kamnik came under the German occupation administration, which took various measures to integrate it into the Reich and make it as German as possible. Apart from Germanizing the population, these efforts also included ample investments in transport, administrative, and housing infrastructure, with which the occupier introduced its characteristic architecture into the annexed landscape. Most investments made by the German occupation administration in Kamnik were implemented between the summer of 1941 and the autumn of 1943. By employing the preserved documents or, more specifically, archival sources, plans, and photographs, the author presents historically the most important buildings and other infrastructural investments made in Kamnik during the German occupation, their “prehistory” as well as their designated use both during and after the war.

SPH method in numerical calculus of detonation parameters
Authors:   Military Technical Academy, Bucharest, Romania, Năstăsescu Vasile , Bârsan Gheorghe ,   Land Forces Academy, Sibiu, Romania
Published: February 2023

This paper presents some of our results in using of the Smoothed Particles Hydrodynamics (SPH) method for the numerical modelling of the detonation phenomena. The study of the detonation is very important for evaluation of different explosives and even for their design. The paper also presents, in a synthetically way, some fundamentals of the detonation. The numerical modelling of the detonation can be made by Finite Element Method (FEM), but using of the SPH method brings some important advantages because the large deformations, large distortions occur. If the FEM can be used in Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) formulation, the SPH method can easily works and next to it, some specific parameters (density variation, specific energy etc.) can be obtained and analyzed by post-processing. The numerical results (by FEM and by SPH method) are compared with theoretical results. The numerical study allowed us to analyse the influence of some explosive characteristics and of the circumstances (non confined and confined explosive) upon detonation parameters.
Energy saving using permanent magnets on the electric machines
Authors:   ", Kappel Wilhelm ,   National Institute for Research and Development in Electrical Engineering ICPE-CA, Bucharest, Romania "
Published: February 2023

The paper deals with the energy balance of permanent magnets in their circuit of use, when its permeance varies. The focus is on the dynamic-permanent circuit, in which the magnet is magnetized in the circuit. Its main features are defined and described operation using the demagnetization curve, the load line and the return curve. It is demonstrated that performing mechanical work in a cyclical evolution is possible only by external energy input. The different types of permanent magnets are presented and described to be used at high temperature. Electric motors that use permanent magnets instead of electric excitation lead to significant energy savings.
Borehole insitu stress stability analysis of RBS-9 field utilizing the inversion technique
Authors:   Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti, Romania, Halawafi Mohamed , Avram Lazăr ,   Petroleum-Gas University of Ploiesti, Romania
Published: February 2023

The main objective of this paper is to perform an insitu stress model and borehole stability evaluation of 9 wells with limited data available in the RBS-9 field. In this paper, the Inversion technique is utilized to perform an analysis of the insitu stresses around RBS-9 wells. The analyses of results are used together with data form each well to calculate fracture and collapse pressures for the wells. The Inversion technique was used to find the maximum and minimum horizontal stresses. The stresses were also found for the whole well and for the places around each casing shoe. The RBS-9 field stresses were found to be anisotropic. Gathering the insitu stress analysis with data form each well led to the calculation of fracture and collapse pressure for the wells. The fracturing pressure obtained from the model became unrealistically large for some wells, and too low for other wells. The cause for this may be data inconsistency due to collection from many different sources. Also, a geological uncertainty related to the faults and tectonic forces present represents a factor.

"Biogas production has become a common practice for obtaining renewable energy, being implemented or expanded in many countries due to a large number of advantages. The organic material conversion to biogas may be improved and optimized by co-digestion that ensures a better supply of nutrients and oligo-minerals for the microbial population. Comparative assays were conducted on the co-digestion of selected waste under different mixing ratio to identify the optimal feedstock composition for a better biomethane production. Also, experiments investigated the influence of 5% microalgal biomass addition to the selected organic mixtures on biogas production and showed that the microalgal biomass slightly increased the biogas quantity and quality without causing any delay on the mass biodegradability. The anaerobic digestion of microalgae-additivated substrates may be used as optimization method to increase the economic profitability of the biogas plants. Further research is required to establish at which extent different percentages of microalgae may induce changes in the substrates biomethane potential. "

Published: February 2023

"The Jakarta-Bandung high speed train is one of the national strategic plans. The high speed train route connects the Jakarta city to the Bandung city. The route needs to be detailed topography and checking of vertical deformations that occur along its route. This study aims to determine the conditions of vertical deformation in four stations and the Jakarta Bandung high speed train route. The spatial information of vertical deformation was extracted from the X SAR (2000) and Sentinel data (2018). The method used was Differential Interferometry Synthetic Aperture Radar (DinSAR). The vertical deformation was obtained from the reduction of topography in 2018 with the topography of 2000. Both of these topography must meet the tolerance of 1.96 sigma so that the resulting deformation is also more optimal. The results of this study can be used to reference the determination of high speed train route based on conditions of vertical deformation. "

Authors: Khorasani Soheila , Noori Ali , Amjad Leila , Mashayekh Amir Masoud
Published: February 2023

Background: Pinus eldarica contains various components such as phenolic and terpene materials. Previous reports showed these two components had anti-insect properties. Pest control, especially for different species of cockroaches, is important because of transmission of various diseases. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the anti-insect potential of P. eldarica leaf essential oil (PLE) against Blattella germanica, German cockroach. Methods: The anti-insect activity of different doses (50, 150, and 300 μg/mL) of PLE of two areas of clean air (CA) zones and polluted air (PA) zones was evaluated by contact toxicity, fumigant toxicity, and repellence tests. Results: The results of contact test showed that the percentages of mortality rates were increased significantly in a dose- and time-dependent manner in both contact and fumigation methods as well as repellency percentage. Also, the results related to PA zones were more significant than CA zones. Conclusions: This study showed that essential leaf oil of P. eldarica induced mortality and repellency in German cockroach, and it can probably be used as a good candidate for pest control, in particular cockroaches.
Digitalisation of Judicial Cooperation in the EU: A Long Road Ahead
Authors: Tičić Martina
Published: February 2023

This paper aims to highlight the development and pinpoint the issues that arise in the ongoing process of digitalisation of justice in the EU, particularly by analysing the relevant provisions of the new Proposal for a Regulation on the digitalisation of judicial cooperation. Different digital landscapes of the national courts in different Member States will also be showcased so as to detect possible issues in practices with the application of the new Proposal. The paper’s main conclusion is that the Proposal, while a step in the right direction, leaves room for further differentiation of access to justice between Member States. Additional improvements before its adoption are therefore desirable.
Resolving Cross-Border Consumer Disputes: The Digital Experience in China
Authors: Monica Chan
Published: February 2023

The surge of e-commerce has significantly changed the landscape of consumers’ purchasing behaviour in the past twenty years or so around the world. Together with the integration of sophisticated technological infrastructures, e.g., digital platforms for online shopping, has indeed accelerated the emergence of cross-border disputes by the fast-growing number of online transactions. Online consumption is particularly prevalent in China as its development of e-commerce has skyrocketed in the past decades across industries, and lately driven by the outbreak of the COVID-19. According to the latest statistics provided by the China Internet Network Information Center (CNNIC), the user size of online shopping alone accounts for 842 million (as of December 2021). Quantitatively, with the sharp increase in the online transactions being concluded, it is anticipated that the number of disputes related to cross-border consumer transactions may also rise in one way or another. As far as the dispute resolution mechanisms are concerned, some argued that potential lockdown or the imposition of travel restrictions may disrupt the effectiveness of filing a case against a party; whereas others may be reluctant to file a lawsuit with the court due to the tedious legal procedures that one may think it would take when a case involves cross-border disputes, which is normally complex in nature.
Potential Nexus Between the Enforceability of Foreign Judgments and the Quality of Civil Justice in ASEAN
Authors: Király Lilla , Papp Eszter
Published: February 2023

To leverage the full potential of the ASEAN single market, the free flow of commercial judgments amongst the Member States, like in the EU, would be desirable. However, according to the state of things in 2022, judgments in ASEAN cannot circulate entirely freely within the Member States. This paper deals with one of the potential aspects that a state may consider when it decides whether to enforce a foreign judgment: the quality of civil justice in the country from which the judgment originates. The aim of this research is to ascertain if there is any correlation (and if so, what) between the ASEAN Member States’ stances regarding the enforceability of commercial judgments rendered by the courts of another Member State and the quality of civil judicial service of the latter.

FORESIGHTS ON THE TRANSFORMATION OF THE PUBLIC SPACE WITH THE COVID-19: DIGITAL PUBLICITY
Authors: BIRINCI ERTURK N. , BIROL G.
Published: February 2023

The COVID-19 epidemic takes place in our lives as a crisis that completely transforms or has the potential to transform all the dynamics of social life and all daily life practices regarding the use of urban space. Pandemic conditions have significantly affected individuals psychologically, socially, socially and economically. Precautionary restrictions have squeezed social life into housing. While this situation increased the orientation to the digital or virtual environment, it caused a withdrawal from the public space. In this study, the dissolution from the physical environment of the public space to the virtual environment of the private space is described by a new kind of publicity experience called 'digital publicity'. With this study, in which scientific suggestions and predictions about the transformation of the public space, the concrete effects of the pandemic process in this transformation and the results of the 'digital publicity' situation that developed as a natural return of the process, are investigated, it is aimed to develop a discussion environment on how the changing dynamics may affect the use of public spaces in the future.
MASS HOUSING CONSTRUCTION AND TYPES OF HOUSES IN THE CONDITIONS OF THE SETTLEMENT SYSTEM OF GREAT BAKU
Authors:   Azerbaijan University of Architecture and Construction, ISBATOV ILQAR
Published: February 2023

At the end of the twentieth century, the Azerbaijani Republic gained independence and, in this regard, began a new stage in the development of the country. With the advent of the outstanding statesman Heydar Aliyev to the leadership of the republic, and then Ilham Aliyev, the rapid development of the economy of Azerbaijan began. This entailed, along with the development of all areas of industry and agriculture, the development of the construction industry. Large-scale housing construction has begun in all cities and towns. Especially large-scale construction has begun in the city of Baku. At the beginning of the 21st century, as well as throughout the world, models of the future development of housing are emerging in Azerbaijan. Meeting the housing needs of people is a primary task of urban planning and architecture. According to the theses of «International Congress of Modern Architects» (SIAM), which were laid down in 1933 in «Athens Charter», the dwelling is subordinated to four main vital functions: work, life in home, rest, and transportation. Modern housing does not include only personal life; it is an essential and integral part of the overall social life process. A study of the process of life of the population clearly shows that all the functions of their vital activities are interconnected. This applies both to a person’s participation in the social production of material and spiritual values, to his participation in cultural life and to the restoration of his physical and spiritual strength. A complex life process requires an environment that functions as a system in which the apartment is only one of the elements.

La finalidad es doble: mostrar el modelo de formación llevado a cabo y recoger la opinión de los estudiantes y los profesores participantes en él. Este modelo permite acercar la realidad de la escuela a nuestros alumnos e introducirles en sus primeras prácticas. Está basado en la importancia y la necesidad de mantener activa la reflexión constante sobre las experiencias previas de aprendizaje de los estudiantes y las que se producen en los centros de prácticas externas, con el objetivo de que los alumnos hagan explícitos sus aprendizajes. Se tratan también otros elementos imprescindibles como son la autoevaluación, la formación específica de los tutores o las emociones de los alumnos. Con respecto a la opinión de los estudiantes y profesores tutores, los resultados muestran una valoración muy positiva, y el análisis de los datos nos permite conocer tanto los puntos fuertes de nuestro modelo como aquellos que son susceptibles de mejora, y que nos ofrecen la posibilidad de desarrollar programas de innovación en esta dirección.
La evaluación formativa: ¿La utopía de la Educación Superior?
Authors: Canabal García Cristina , Castro Martín Benjamín
Published: February 2023

La presente reflexión surge como conclusión de un proceso de investigación relativo a la evaluación de los aprendizajes iniciado hace algunos años, y que se ha mantenido hasta la actualidad por el interés que genera la evaluación de los aprendizajes en nuestro grupo de investigación, integrado por profesorado de la Universidad de Alcalá y de la Escuela Universitaria Cardenal Cisneros así como por alumnas egresadas de la UAH. En su origen se encontraba la intención de profundizar en las concepciones que subyacen en las prácticas de evaluación que el profesorado pone en marcha de cara a lograr propuestas formativas apoyadas en el marco del Espacio Europeo de la Educación Superior (EEES). En dicho contexto nos planteamos interrogantes que dieran respuesta a los dilemas a los que los/as docentes nos enfrentamos en el día a día de nuestras aulas, y dificultan el desarrollo de propuestas de evaluación formativa: la evaluación supone el corazón de los procesos de enseñanza y aprendizaje y por ello es importante que cambiemos nuestras concepciones y usos respecto a ella logrando superar la evaluación entendida como control para llegar a propuestas de la evaluación concebidas como parte de los procesos de aprendizaje tanto de los/as estudiantes como de los/as docentes.
Threats Detection in the Internet of Things Using Convolutional neural networks, long short-term memory, and gated recurrent units

Published: February 2023

Security for IoT gadgets is an undertaking that has been made more troublesome by the far-reaching utilization of network safety in different applications, including wise modern frameworks, homes, individual devices, and vehicles. The fact that has been introduced makes deep learning for interruption recognition one productive security method. I thought about a few relevant systematic reviews that had already been written. Recent systematic reviews may include older and more recent works on the subject. For better IoT security, late exploration has focused on improving deep learning calculations. The ideal methodology for carrying out interruption recognition in the Internet of Things is determined by looking at the exhibition of different deep learning executions and investigating interruption location techniques that utilise them. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM), and gated recurrent units (GRUs) are the deep learning models used in this review. A standard dataset for IoT interruption identification is considered to evaluate the proposed model. The practical information is then investigated and diverged from current IoT interruption discovery strategies.

Authors: Csicsmann László , Nagyné Rózsa Erzsébet
Published: February 2023

The terminology and theory of “regional security complexes” (RSC) may be new, yet, the underlying factors, causes and characteristics are as old as human civilization and/or the River Nile. Out of the eleven countries the Nile is flowing through, Ethiopia and Egypt – with in-between Sudan – are “hosting” the Blue Nile, which carries about 85% of all the river’s water. With both Egypt and Ethiopia trying to cope with a rapidly growing (exploding) population of already over one hundred million each, as well as the necessity of providing food and electricity, water sharing has become an imminent task and a direct threat for both. Thus, the recent – but already decade-long – hostility between Egypt and Ethiopia over the sharing of the water of the river resulted in the emergence of a new regional security sub-complex, that of the Nile basin.

The seasonal occurrence of major insect pests of rice in Guntur district of Andhra Pradesh during kharif 2021-22 was studied in Krishna Western Delta area in 90 farmers fields of 10 mandals (Bapatla, Kakumanu, Ponnur, Tsunduru, Amruthaluru, Vemuru, Tenali, Duggirala, Repalle and Nagaram). Fortnightly observations on pest population in parallel relation with meteorological parameters revealed the highest leaf damage due to rice leaf folder Marasmia medinalis (Crambidae: Lepidoptera)during second fortnight of September (2.95%) when the crop was more succulent. The incidence of yellow stem borer Scirpophaga incertulas (Crambidae: Lepidoptera) begun appearing during first fortnight of August with highest percent damage during second fortnight of September causing 2.62 percent dead hearts. The peak population of brown planthopper Nilaparvata lugens (Delphacidae: Hemiptera) was observed during first fortnight of October (4.97 hoppers/hill) when the crop was in panicle initiation stage.

In this research, six black rice varieties cultivated in Kharif 2021 namely BPT 2841, BPT 2848, BPT 3136, BPT 3137, BPT 3145 and Burma Black (control) were studied for different quality traits such as physical, chemical and cooking quality traits. All the parameters showed significant variance. Thousand grains weight showed positive correlation with hulling per cent (r=0.748), milling percent (r=0.981), head rice recovery (r=0.594), kernel length (r=0.947) and kernel breadth(r=0.932). In terms of physical quality, 1000 grain weight of Burma black showed greater value due to its large grain size which is treated as undesirable. In terms of chemical quality traits, all the rice varieties except control had intermediate amylose content (20-25%) and intermediate alkali spreading value (4-5). These were considered as key characteristics to improve rice grain quality.

Published: February 2023

The study was conducted from September 2019 to February 2020 to find the general hygiene and sanitary conditions followed in outdoor catering units in Kottayam district of Kerala state. Data was collected from 126 outdoor catering units using an observation checklist. Forty-two percent of the premises of catering units were used for residential purpose. Stray animals and birds were observed in 14.3 percent units. Majority (71.4 percent) of the catering units had concrete floors; roofing sheets (87.3 percent) were used as the construction material for ceiling and weld mesh (91.3 percent) instead of windows. Statistically, significant relation was found between manufacturer’s who has more than 10 years of experience with location of the outdoor catering units as well as the cleanliness of the atmosphere. Outdoor catering for mass events is a high-risk activity and always carries with it the possibility of food poisoning. Therefore, utmost care must be taken not only in food handling but also in the maintenance of premises and infrastructural facilities, proper waste disposal and cleaning for the production of safe food.

Objective: Post-COVID syndrome is the persistence of signs and symptoms that develop during or after COVID-19 infection for longer than 12 weeks, which cannot be explained by an alternative diagnosis. This study aimed to examine the effects of eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) aromatherapy oil on dyspnea, back pain, and anxiety in patients with post-COVID syndrome.Methods: The study included patients diagnosed with post-COVID syndrome at the chest diseases outpatient clinic of Adana City Training and Research Hospital. Before and after eucalyptus oil application, as components of post-COVID syndrome, dyspnea was evaluated using the modified Medical Research Council (mMRC) scale, back pain using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and anxiety using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). Results: A total of 15 individuals, of whom 11 were female (73.3%) and 4 were male (26.7%), were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 45.7±10.7 years, and the mean body mass index was 24.7±3.4. The mean post-treatment values of mMRC, VAS, and BAI statistically significantly decreased compared to the pre-treatment evaluation. Conclusion: Eucalyptus aromatherapy oil inhalation was found to be effective in recovery from post-COVID syndrome symptoms, such as dyspnea, back pain, and anxiety, which affect many people across the world and can cause labor and financial losses. Therefore, we recommend considering the use of this aromatherapy oil in the complementary treatment and follow-up of these patients.

Pugung Raharjo Archaeological Park is an archaeological site covering a 30 hectares area in East Lampung Regency, Lampung Province. There is some evidence of the megalithic era, also called the stepped pyramid of Pugung Raharjo discovered in 1957. There are other megalithic buildings from the 12th to 16th centuries AD, including menhirs and dolmen and prehistoric remains dating back to 2500 BC. From a geological perspective, Pugung Raharjo Archaeological Park was built on the extent of vesicular basalt lava of the Sukadana Formation, which is situated above the top of the Sukadana Basalt Plateau. These stones even have a local designation referred to as 'curly stones' because of their rough texture and vesicular holes. Due to its good strength and adhe-sion, the people of East Lampung use this stone as their house foundation. These stone is also used to make pundan berundak, menhirs, dolmen and others. The use of local stone for buildings and daily life tools shows a strong connection between geological and cultural aspects. The Pugung Raharjo Site area is also a very suitable location for astronomical observations because of the low level of light pollution. Moreover, according to history, people have been familiar with astronomy in their daily lives, such as wor-ship, time markers, navigation, or directions. This gives reach to a hypothesis about the possibility of this ancient society's astro-nomical knowledge manifested in determining each object's position in an area with specific constellation patterns. Based on its potential, Pugung Raharjo Archaeological Park is very suitable for developing the Geopark concept, which integrates geological, biological, and cultural aspects.

The development of a halal tourism village requires the role of youth social capital to ensure the sustainability of its tourism management. The purpose of this study was to identify and analyze the role of youth social capital in the development of halal tourism in tourist villages. This research was conducted in Setanggor Tourism Village, West Praya District, Central Lombok using a qualitative method of content analysis. Data was carried out by means of observation, documentation, and in-depth interviews with tourism managers in Setanggor Village.The results of this study indicate that there are several important elements that shape youth social capital, namely, social trust, self-help, collaboration, and social networks. The element of social trust is the main locomotive for encouraging youth to participate, such as: having a common identity as a Muslim who adheres to Islamic values, having an Islamic (culture) behavior, and both come from the same village. These social trust values serve as the basis for youth in increasing other elements of social capital. In an effort to maximize the strengthening of youth social capital in tourist villages, it is necessary 1) to have a meeting agenda between youth and adults in improving the quality of services such as politeness, hospitality, greetings, full of smiles, and humility of the community in serving tourists, smooth communication and information needed by tourists; 2) there is space for youth to show their existence and creativity; 3) the need for collaborative work between youth and adults through mentoring/training programs to improve the optimization of the role of youth social capital in managing and developing rural tourism. Therefore, strengthening youth social capital should be one of the strategic efforts in the context of developing sustainable halal tourism in tourist villages.
