PARTICIPANTS OF THE ELECTRIC ENERGY MARKET AS SUBJECTS OF LEGAL RELATIONS IN THE ELECTRIC ENERGY FIELD
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Povar Pavlo
Published: May 2024

Background. One of the features of relations in the field of electric power industry should be considered their special subject composition. In the electric power industry, there was a reform related to the introduction of a competitive electricity market, which qualitatively changed the rules for the organization and functioning of the electricity market, which determines the relevance of the study. The purpose is to study market participants who are part of a special composition of subjects of legal relations. The objectives of the study are to clarify the correlation of the concepts of economic relations in the field of electricity and the electricity market; correlation between the concepts of a participant in the electricity market and a participant in relations in the field of electricity; sectoral nature of legal relations in the electricity market; peculiarities of the conceptual and terminological apparatus of the Law of Ukraine "On the Electricity Market"; which entities are participants in the electricity market and the peculiarities of their legal status; specifics of the legal status of an active consumer as a participant in the electricity market. Methods. The research is based on the use of systemic, structural methods, methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, formal-legal and logical-legal methods of scientific research. Results. The results of the study consist of the formulation of theoretical provisions and practical proposals for improving the legislation of Ukraine. Conclusions. Conclusions are drawn about the non-identity of the concepts of economic relations in the field of electric power industry and the electricity market. Subjects of organizational and economic powers are not recognized as participants in the electricity market. The concept of participants in the electricity market is covered by the general concept of participants in relations in the field of electricity. Legal relations in the market are complex, the core of which is economic legal relations. The conceptual and terminological apparatus of the Law of Ukraine "On the Electricity Market" has close structural links with the general concepts of economic law, which are normatively enshrined in the Commercial Code of Ukraine. The general list of market participants enshrined in the law is not exhaustive. It is proposed to supplement it with an aggregator. Market participants – business entities – are classified into two groups. An active consumer has the right to carry out activities for the production of electricity under the mechanism of self-production, which is not an economic activity, as well as the right to sell this electricity or provide other services on the basis of contracts.
CLASSIFICATION OF PENALTY INSTITUTIONS AS OBJECTS OF OPERATIONAL SERVICE
Authors:   National University Odessa Law Academy, Tsehan D.M.
Published: May 2024

Abstract. In recent years, there has been a permanent restructuring of the law enforcement system and the search for new effective models for combating crime. Against the background of these reforms, the issue of structural and functional restructuring of penitentiary institutions and the development of new models for combating crime in prisons remains unresolved. At the same time, it is worth emphasizing that the criminogenic potential of penitentiary institutions remains quite high, as evidenced by the structure and dynamics of crime in prisons, as well as the actual control of individual penitentiary institutions by leaders of the criminal environment by establishing and disseminating criminal influence. At the same time, in the theory of operative-search activity, at present, insufficient attention is paid to operative-search activity in places of imprisonment, in particular to the problem of organization of operative service of penitentiary institutions. That is why the study of a set of problems related to the organization of operational and investigative activities in places of imprisonment is an urgent scientific problem. The purpose of the article is to develop a classification of penitentiary institutions and operational facilities. The result of the author’s scientific study of this issue was the substantiation of the position, which is currently enshrined in the legislation, the classification of places of imprisonment does not solve theoretical and practical problems in the field of theory of operational and investigative work. The functional purpose of the classification of penitentiary institutions as objects of operational service is substantiated both for the theory of operative-search activity and for the practice of operative-search activity of the corresponding subdivisions. Also, as a result of the study, a classification of correctional colonies according to the territorial criterion was developed; the structure of the prison population; the actual implementation of the prison population management function; the complexity of the operational situation; the number of subjects of increased criminal influence available in the institution. Peculiarities of the organization of operative service of correctional colonies referred to the corresponding classification group are determined. In addition, the study identified the main characteristics and causes of changes in the operational situation in the penitentiary institution, depending on the number of subjects of criminal influence who serve their sentences in the institution.

PREPARING TEACHERS FOR INCLUSION IN LITHUANIA: TEACHER EDUCATORS’ APPROACHES TO DIVERSITY AND EXISTING CHALLENGES
Authors: Chu Lingyi , Khetsuriani Nano
Published: May 2024

Inclusive education is a universal pedagogical trend, covering a broad range of research areas such as race, ethnicity, gender, culture, language, religion, and ability. An inclusive system concerns the rights, social justice, and equity within education for all, especially the marginalised groups (UNICEF, 2022). Lithuania has officially rolled out new legislation (in 2011) and structural changes (in 2024) to its educational system, moving it from a multi-track system to an inclusive one. However, teachers have reported implementation difficulties such as differentiating teaching methods, fostering student socialisation, and lacking multiprofessional collaboration and dialogue with parents (Lakkala et al., 2019). Contextual urgency lies in the changing demographics of the student body and impacts the reconsideration of diversity and inclusion in Lithuanian classrooms. This study focuses on teacher educators' (TEs) perspectives at a major teacher training university in Lithuania. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with faculty members to understand how diversity and inclusion are understood, interpreted, and implemented within the faculty. This research revealed current practices within teacher training regarding diversity, highlighting strengths, challenges, and potential enhancements. Critical implications for preparing future educators for inclusive classrooms are discussed.

Published: May 2024

The article aims to uncover the personal data protection requirements within the case management process and outline areas for improvement. Objectives include analyzing case management, assessing families in social risk, and discussing personal data protection's concept and necessity in case management. The study examines factors influencing personal data protection in case management and identifies opportunities for improvement when working with families facing social risks. Participants are Vilnius-based case managers with at least one year of social work education and experience. Research methods involve analyzing literature, conducting interviews, and evaluating gathered data. The application of case management to families in social risk is viewed as a complex system, with a coordinated support network reducing social risk factors. Personal data is defined as information identifying an individual, necessitating protection due to technological advancements. The study reveals case managers lack knowledge about personal data protection requirements but strive to adhere to prudent principles. Institutional fear impedes information gathering from various sources due to concerns about violating personal data protection.

Authors:   Russian State Vocational Pedagogical University, Andriukhina L. M.
Published: May 2024

The prospects for the development of the personal potential of the student relate to the possibilities of personalised learning. The study identified key methodological approaches in understanding the process of personalisation of learning. On the basis of analysis of domestic and foreign sources, the main consequences of wide distribution and increasing influence on the person of digital personalisation tools have been determined. In education, they can become an insurmountable obstacle to the development of students' personal potential. The concepts of “wall of filters” and “information bubbles” are considered in order to determine the causes of shortage of creative resources of the person in a competitive digital environment. The development of a personalised learning model must take into account the potential dangers of Internet technology. The author focuses on the emerging anthropological threats in the digital environment to the development of the creative potential of the individual. The conclusions were confirmed by the results of sociological research. The importance of finding solutions to minimise and overcome risks of digital bases of personalisation was emphasised.

Authors: Işık Şemsettin
Published: May 2024

Arapçada cümle kuruluşu isim, fiil ve harflerden (edatlardan) teşekkül etmiştir. Bazı kaynaklarda harfin ne olup ne olmadığı hususunda farklı yorumlar yapılmış ve o doğrultuda tanımlar üretilmiştir. Bu tür tartışmalara girmemek için daha kuşatıcı olması hasebiyle burada edat kavramını kullanmayı tercih ettik. Zira bu kavram, bütün harf türü kelimelerin yanında zamir, zarf ve bazı yardımcı fiilleri de kapsamaktadır. Bunların birçoğu da Kur’ân-ı Kerim’de yer almıştır. Bunlardan bir tanesi de yazım itibariyle aynı, cümlenin yapısına ve mânâsına yaptığı kattı itibariyle ayrı olan ‘en’ yelpazesi altındaki edatlardır. Dolayısıyla her birisi, çeşitli ayetlerde ‘en-i muhaffefe’, ‘en-i masdariye (nasibe)’, ‘en-i nâfiye’, ‘en-i şartiye’, ‘en-i cazime’, ‘en-i tefsiriye’, ‘en-i zâide’ adı altında yer almıştır. Hatta ‘iz’ ve ‘liellâ’ mânâsında kullanılması da söz konusu olmuştur. Biz de bu çalışmada, söz konusu edatları tümevarım metodu eşliğinde ele alarak cümlenin yapısına ve mânâsına yapmış oldukları katkıları örnekleriyle birlikte ana ve ara başlıklar altında ele aldık. Böylece Kur’an-ı Kerim’in doğru anlaşılmasına ve yorumlanmasına bir katkı sağlamak istedik.

Authors: Dewi Mollisa Aznira , Nustini Yuni
Published: May 2024

Latar Belakang: Agresivitas pajak merupakan kegiatan merancang pendapatan kena pajak oleh perusahaan dengan melakukan tindakan perencanaan pajak, baik dengan cara yang tergolong legal (tax avoidance) atau ilegal (tax evasion). Laporan Tax Justice Network yang berjudul The State of Tax Justice 2020: Tax Justice in the time of Covid-19 disebutkan sebanyak Rp 67,6 triliun merupakan hasil dari penghindaran dipajak perusahaan di Indonesia. Hal ini menyiratkan bahwa agresivitas pajak dapat merugikan negara Indonesia, sebab wajib pajak mengurangi beban pajak secara agresif.Tujuan: Menganalisis pengaruh pengungkapan corporate social responsibility (CSR), leverage, capital intensity dan likuiditas terhadap agresivitas pajak dengan good corporate governance (GCG) sebagai variabel moderasi pada perusahaan manufaktur yang terdaftar di BEI tahun 2019-2021. Metode Penelitian: Penentuan sampel menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Jumlah sampel yang diperoleh yaitu 60. Data yang digunakan adalah data dari laporan tahunan dan laporan keuangan perusahaan manufaktur tahun 2019-2021 yang berasal dari web Bursa Efek Indonesia (www.idx.co.id). Teknik analisis data yang digunakan yaitu analisis regresi moderasi dengan uji beda mutlak menggunakan bantuan program komputer yaitu SPSS versi 25.Hasil Penelitian: Berdasarkan analisis yang telah dilakukan diperoleh hasil bahwa CSR, leverage, capital intensity berpengaruh positif terhadap agresivitas pajak. Likuiditas tidak berpengaruh terhadap agresivitas pajak. Komisaris independen mampu memoderasi hubungan antara CSR dan agresivitas pajak. Kepemilikan manajerial tidak mampu memoderasi hubungan antara CSR dan agresivitas pajak.Keaslian/Kebaruan Penelitian: Penelitian ini merupakan kompilasi dari penelitian yang dilakukan oleh Gunawan (2017), Wijaya dan Saebani (2019). Perbedaan dari penelitian terdahulu terletak pada penambahan variabel independen yaitu likuiditas. Selain itu variabel GCG yang diproksikan dengan kepemilikan manajerial dan komisaris independen berkedudukan sebagai variabel moderasi dalam menghubungkan antara variabel Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) terhadap agresivitas pajak.
Wyzwania pomiaru i analizy bezpośrednich inwestycji zagranicznych – teoria a praktyka
Authors: Kłysik-Uryszek Agnieszka , Kuna-Marszałek Anetta
Published: May 2024

Bezpośrednie inwestycje zagraniczne (BIZ) są powszechnie analizowane w literaturze naukowej. Dostępne definicje i klasyfikacje opisują zjawisko na wielu płaszczyznach, jednak dostępne dane statystyczne często nie współgrają z podejściem teoretycznym. Utrudnia to lub wręcz uniemożliwia szczegółową analizę zachodzących w rzeczywistości procesów. Dynamiczne zmiany gospodarcze prowadzą do ciągłego powstawania nowych relacji i struktur organizacyjnych w firmach międzynarodowych, które istnieją równocześnie z dobrze zdefiniowanymi i rozpoznawalnymi formami BIZ, ale nie są właściwie śledzone przez instytucje statystyczne.
Artykuł ma charakter przeglądowy. Jego celem jest prezentacja nieścisłości i niespójności występujących w obszarze badań BIZ zarówno w sferze definicyjno- klasyfikacyjnej, jak i statystycznej. W artykule omówione są różnorodne koncepcje pomiaru i interpretacji BIZ, mające na celu dostarczenie badaczom użytecznych wskazówek, dotyczących radzenia sobie z problemami metodologicznymi. Podstawowym wnioskiem jest, że informacje dostarczane przez oficjalne statystyki są niewystarczające i niespójne, a analiza stopnia zaangażowania BIZ firm (szczególnie z rynków wschodzących) niesie ze sobą ryzyko i jej rezultaty powinny być traktowane z rezerwą. Studium przypadku polskich statystyk publicznych posłużyło do przedstawienia głównych niezgodności i problemów.
The Development of Islamic Banking in the UK – A Comparison of Islamic and Conventional Banking
Authors: Korzeniewski Jerzy , Melon Patrycja
Published: May 2024

The purpose of the article is to compare the development of several Islamic banks and conventional banks operating in the UK in 2014–2021. A statistical method of linear ordering of objects characterized by several variables, which is simple in interpretation, was used. The main difficulty was to take into account the time-varying quotation of the values of the considered variables. A novel method was proposed to take into account both the value of several variable and their variability over time. In this method, the emphasis can be placed on the final reslut, that is, consider only the values of the variables at the beginning and end of the period under study but the smoothness of the systematic development of the bank can be taken into account by placing emphasis on the analysis of the variable-stimulants from year to year. In the obtained ordering, Islamic banks grew more dynamically than conventional banks in all considered configurations of variables.
Koszałki-opałki, czyli prawo karne w bajkach

Published: May 2024

Czy szczurek Wiechetek dopuścił się kradzieży z włamaniem? Czy krasnoludek Podziomek prał brudne pieniądze? Czy zjedzenie Popiela przez myszy stanowiło zbrodnię zamachu stanu? Czy Koszałek-Opałek popełnił przestępstwo paserstwa lub urzędnicze? Dlaczego król Krak dopuścił się handlu ludźmi, a szewczykowi Dratewce nie można przypisać zabicia Smoka Wawelskiego? Czy Wanda, co nie chciała Niemca, podżegała do nienawiści na tle narodowościowym? Do czego przemocą doprowadził królewicz Kopciuszka? Czy Czerwony Kapturek przejawiała oznaki demoralizacji? Czy Jaś i Małgosia dopuścili się kradzieży szczególnie zuchwałej? Za co odpowiadała sztuczna inteligencja (Al) lustra królowej, macochy Śnieżki? Dlaczego Mały Książę odrzucił stanowisko ministra sprawiedliwości? Co kryła „praktyczna baryłeczka” Kłapouchego?
Udzielenia odpowiedzi na te i inne pytania podjęli się autorzy, analizując powszechnie znane, wybrane baśnie i legendy z punktu widzenia współczesnego polskiego prawa karnego, w tym jego podstawowych zasad, sięgających fundamentów demokratycznego państwa prawnego. Jak wskazuje praktyka dydaktyczna, metoda ta ułatwia zrozumienie nawet najtrudniejszych instytucji prawnokarnych. Na tych przykładach przedstawiono również wykład sprawiedliwości i sztuki sędziowania, gdyż to sędzia jest „mówiącą ustawą”. Wywód został wzbogacony o łacińskie paremie prawnicze, by ukazać ciągłość myśli sięgającą starożytności.
Tytuł publikacji nawiązuje do zapisów, czynionych zawsze sumiennie i w dobrej wierze, choć niekoniecznie oddających naukową prawdę, przez nadwornego kronikarza w królestwie krasnoludków Koszałka-Opałka, ujętych następnie przez Marię Konopnicką w zeznaniu O krasnoludkach i o sierotce Marysi. Wywód trzeba przeto czytać z przymrużeniem oka, tak jak uczyniłaby to grecka Temida, gdyby na chwilę uniosła zakładaną jej, według tradycji, opaskę uniemożliwiającą widzenie, lecz ułatwiającą, sine ira et studio, rozstrzyganie, co słuszne i prawe, a co niegodziwe i z prawem sprzeczne.

Notes on Lectotypification of Genus Dunbaria Wight & Arn. (Leguminosae)
Authors: Satyanarayana P.
Published: May 2024

DUNBARIA Wight & Arn. (Leguminosae) was established in 1834. Since then a number of species have been added to this genus from different regions of the Eastern and South Eastern Asia. This genus has been treated in earlier works for over a century without mention of type species. However, Hutchinson (1964) mentioned Dunbaria heynei Wight & Arn. as its lectotype species. Due to the nomenclatural changes the above species has since been transferred to the nearest related genus CAJANUS DC. Hence, a correct and proper selection of lectotype species has been necessitated for the generic name DUNBARIA Wight & Arn.

Focusing on papers in English, Turkish and Arabic, it reviews a total of 65 studies from 15 countries, based on number of posts, type of information disclosure, time span and social media platforms used. Additionally, it provides a detailed break-down of the reported effect between voluntary disclosures on social media and a total of 37 different variables used to proxy for market, accounting, corporate governance and firm-specific (size, age and risk) measures. Drawing from an exhaustive analysis encompassing more than 51 thousand companies and nearly 70 million social media posts, the prevailing body of knowledge pertaining to corporate disclosures via social media predominantly hinges upon empirical evidence based on the United States and the United Kingdom. We feel that more country comparison studies and multi-lingual samples as well as meta-analyses could significantly improve our understanding of this field.

Background: Xanthogranulomatous salpingo-oophoritis is an infrequent and challenging diagnosis of the female genital tract. It involves the destruction of the fallopian tube and ovarian tissue by infiltrating inflammatory cells comprising lipid laden macrophages, lymphocytes, plasma cells, and multinucleated giant cells. While more commonly found in gall bladder and kidney, its occurence in female genital tract is rare. This is a case of Xanthogranulomatous salphingo-oophoritis in a 48 year woman who presented with chronic lower abdomen pain and frequent heavy menses for two months. On per abdomen examination a non tender 24 weeks size mass was felt and on vaginal examination the same mass was appreciated, seperate from the uterus. PAP was reported NILM. Ultrasound revealed uterine adenomyoma with bilateral endometrioma of ovaries and associated left hydrosalphinx. Patient underwent hysterectomy with bilateral salphingo-oopherectomy. Histopathological examination revealed uterine adenomyosis, chronic cervicitis with xanthogranulomatous salpingo-oophoritis. The patient recovered well and doing good on follow-up. Conclusion: Xanthogranulomatous salpingo-oophoritis, though rare is a significant entity because clinically it can mimic chronic pelvic inflammatory disease or endometrioma and even in some cases malignancy. Even clinical examination and imaging might not help much. Therefore, knowledge and awareness about the condition with the help of histopathology can clinch the diagnosis and also prevent radical cancer surgery

Background: The broad range of kidney neoplastic lesions that are classified as primary renal tumours includes patterns that are comparatively different in children and adults. Both benign and malignant primary renal tumours are possible. These neoplasms account for two to three percent of all adult malignancies and 80–85% of all primary malignant neoplasms of kidney. Aim and Objective: Finding relative frequencies of various adult renal tumours and examining clinicohistopathological features and their variations in patients under study are goals of this research. Methods: This retrospective investigation was carried out at tertiary care facility on all patients who were diagnosed with kidney tumour based on histology between 2020 and 22. Information was gathered about clinical presentation, pathological features, and demographics of patients. Histological section employed standard haematoxylin and eosin stain for pathological investigation. Results: Over period of three years, among 50 patients, 63% were males and 37% females. Most tumours were malignant: 88% vs. 12% benign. Peak incidence was found more in 6-7th decade. Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) was most prevalent type of cancerous tumour. Angiomyolipoma, oncocytoma, and adult cystic nephroma were examples of benign renal tumours. Discussion: This is single center study from tertiary care center. Range of adult renal tumours found in this study is in line with earlier research findings. We identified both benign and malignant tumours in our investigation. Conclusion: With a thorough literature analysis and focus on each tumour category, this article provides an overview of range of adult renal tumours in tertiary care centres.

Background: The pathological examinations of medicolegal cases is not confined to determining the cause of death but also useful in teaching pathogenesis and demography of the disease. Liver is the principal site of many metabolic activities and is vulnerable to many metabolic, toxic, microbial and circulatory insults. Due to enormous functional reserve, many liver lesions are silent till late in the course of disease. Aims: This study aimed to analyse histopathological findings of liver diseases in medicolegal cases and correlate with clinical findings wherever available. Methods and Material: The present study is a retrospective observational study with 262 medicolegal autopsy cases over a one-year period conducted in the Department of Pathology of a tertiary care centre. Representative tissue from the liver was collected in 10% neutral buffered formalin and sent for histopathological examination. Results: Total 262 medicolegal cases studied showed predominance of male (68.65%). Maximum cases were in the age group of 21 to 30 years (20.14%) followed by 31 to 40 years (18.28%). The most common lesion was steatosis, accounting for 78 (30%) out of 262 liver specimens. There were 43 (16.5%) cases of congestion, 20 (7.8%) cases of hepatitis and 17 (6.5%) cases of steatohepatitis. Ten (4%) cases of cirrhosis were noted. Conclusions: The present study showed that Histological analysis of liver is important learning objective for pathologists and a significant role in ascertaining the cause and manner of death.

Tuberculous enteritis is seen in 1-3% of cases of tuberculosis worldwide. The bacterium enters gastrointestinal tract via hematogenous spread from active pulmonary tuberculosis by swallowing the infected sputum or ingestion of contaminated food products. The most common site is ileocecal region. Diagnosis is challenging as clinical presentation mimics neoplasm or inflammatory bowel disease. We present a case of intestinal tuberculosis in a 40 years old male patient to highlight the pathogenesis, clinical features and histopathology of this case.

Published: May 2024

Algorithms are increasingly used in consumer-oriented decision-making, and understanding how customers respond to them is crucial. The research is grounded in self-determination theory and aims to identify AI algorithm variables that affect consumers' decision-making. These can improve consumers' pleasure, and engagement and boost revenue by increasing customer loyalty. Online shopping involves making purchases through the internet, following a five-phase process. Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing customer engagement by providing tailored experiences and insights. Generative and conversational AI can generate product recommendations, while AI-driven systems offer advantages for both businesses and consumers, boosting sales, and customer satisfaction, and optimizing the shopping process. The study uses Social Exchange Theory (SET) and Service-Dominant Logic (SDL) to study how AI-powered technology can benefit consumers by offering personalized recommendations and quick service.
According to the study, different roles played by algorithmic agents have different impacts on consumers' purchasing decisions. This is consistent with the inverted U-shaped hypothesis. Purchase decisions made by customers have the most influence when algorithmic decision-making autonomy is at a medium degree. The psychological processes and behavioral attitudes of customers towards AI services and buying decisions must be understood. It recommends businesses prioritize personalized algorithm design and raise users' self-efficacy to maintain control over the purchasing process. Understanding customer engagement and balancing AI and human interaction can improve customer engagement strategies and satisfaction.

Objective
Worldwide, glaucoma is a leading cause of irreversible blindness. Timely detection is paramount yet challenging, particularly in resource-limited settings. A novel, computer vision-based model for glaucoma screening using fundus images could enhance early and accurate disease detection. Herein, we developed and validated a generalized deep-learning-based algorithm for screening glaucoma using fundus images.
Methods
The glaucomatous fundus data were collected from 20 publicly accessible databases worldwide, resulting in 18,468 images from multiple clinical settings, of which 10,900 were classified as healthy and 7,568 as glaucoma. All the data were evaluated and downsized to fit the model's input requirements. The potential model was selected from 20 pre-trained models and trained on the whole dataset except Drishti-GS. The best-performing model was further trained for classifying healthy and glaucomatous fundus images using Fastai and PyTorch libraries. The model's performance was compared against the actual class using the area under the receiver operating characteristic (AUROC), sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision, and the F1-score.
Results
The high discriminative ability of the best-performing model was evaluated on a dataset comprising 1,364 glaucomatous discs and 2,047 healthy discs. The model reflected robust performance metrics, with an AUROC of 0.9920 (95% CI: 0.9920 to 0.9921) for both the glaucoma and healthy classes. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-scores were consistently higher than 0.9530 for both classes. The model performed well on an external validation set of the Drishti-GS dataset, with an AUROC of 0.8751 and an accuracy of 0.8713.
Conclusions
This study demonstrated the high efficacy of our classification model in distinguishing between glaucomatous and healthy discs. However, the model's accuracy slightly dropped when evaluated on unseen data, indicating potential inconsistencies among the datasets—the model needs to be refined and validated on larger, more diverse datasets to ensure reliability and generalizability. Despite this, our model can be utilized for screening glaucoma at the population level.

High altitude flying bats may contribute to the reduction of dispersing pest insects, yet we are lacking detailed studies on their vertical foraging behavior. Here, we examined the three-dimensional foraging behavior of 18-g wrinkle-lipped free-tailed bats using miniaturized Global Positioning System loggers during the peak emergence of planthoppers, a major pest for rice. We predicted bats to spend most foraging time at high altitudes, i.e., > 110 m above ground, and to use relatively large foraging ranges. Furthermore, we predicted high altitude flights to occur above forested sites, which are locally limited to mountain ridges, and low altitude flight to occur in urban areas and above cropland. Most of the 11 tracked bats used large foraging ranges, covering between 40 to 1,740 km2 during a single night. During single foraging trips, bats traveled 60 km (median), covering a maximum of 26 km (median) in relation to the cave roost. Bats flew at a median altitude of 146 meters above ground, yet occasionally more than 1,600 m above ground. Furthermore, bats spent about 40% of foraging at low altitudes, preferring urban areas and forested sites, but avoided croplands and water bodies. When flying at high altitudes, bats preferred forested sites. Because of its distinct flight behavior and its preferred prey items, i.e. planthoppers, C. plicatus may be crucial in limiting the dispersal capacity of this major rice pest while it is wind drifting to more northern regions in Asia. Protection of this bat is essential for ensuring rice harvests across whole Asia.
