Significancy of human motor tasks during dual gate execution for uncovering Parkinson disease early
Authors: Devi G Naga Rama , Raju V Rama
Published: October 2024

Parkinson’s, i.e., Parkinson diseased (PD) patients appear beyond decreased gait execution during motor dual cognitive task tests. Yet, the impact of motor cognition task difficulty in early detection of PD has not been seen scientifically.

the purpose is to detect the PD very early during the gait implementation of motor`s dual-tsks.

Twenty-five advanced idiopathic Parkinson`s also fourteen healthy controls recruited in this study. As per the neuroscientist, all must complete a composite motor-task with and without 3 distinct mental-tasks. Based on spatiotemporal gait parameters plus joint-kinematics, the interventional composite issue features were computed. The outcome of task complexity plus cohort over the complex task interference (CTI) was studied first with the continual (repetitive) measures analysis-of-variance (ANOVA). Support vector machine (SVM)-based classifiers of Parkinson`s were constructed based on characterized features-of CTI.

Our findings showed that the complexity of motor-issue has had a larger impact over gait accomplishment that much contributed to the advanced precision in categorizing Parkinson`s. The set with accuracy (97.7%), precision (98.9%), and recall(97.7%) was attained best. This study showed the application of a rotary-based motor`s dual task cognition idea of test in clinical settings to detect PD early is great.

This study investigated a new method for early detection of Parkinson's disease (PD) using a dual-task test with cognitive and motor components.

Published: October 2024

Focusing on jobs for youth, this study analyzes the development of job postings in Norway during the first and second waves of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. Jobs for youth are defined by the top 20 three-digit occupations for young workers, and postings for these occupations took a heavier hit than other jobs during the pandemic. We also identify the top 20 occupations for entrants immediately after completing their highest education to reveal that, during the pandemic, entry jobs for young people with lower education declined the most. Using 2018 and 2019 as reference years, we show that the decline started before ‘lockdown’ policies were in place but worsened during the lockdown. As the economy reopened, job posting rates improved but did not reach the 2018 and 2019 levels.

Authors:   Vellore Institute of Technology, Augustus Karen , Gnanadurai Christopher ,   Vellore Institute of Technology
Published: October 2024

The Folded Earth, a novel byAnuradha Roy endeavors to represent ecocritical writing through the journey of her protagonist Maya. Maya is a widow who seeks to make a new life from her unfortunate past by shifting her life from a chaotic city to an adventurous village near the Himalayas, where humans and the natural world live in harmony. The paradigm changes with the landscape impelling the protagonist to comprehend her surroundings from a new dimension, through which the author discusses the politics of ecology, eco theory, and ecocritical writing. Additionally, Anuradha Roy, the novel’s author, provides a voice for the subjugation of women in a patriarchal culture. The significance of an ecocentric lifestyle for humans to sustain the natural world is emphasized in this study. This paper aims to throw light on various concerns of women and ecology during the course of the novel such as lifestyle, habitats, routine, education and connection with nature, through various ecocritical concepts such as anthropocentrism, ecocentrism, Gyn/Ecology and ecofeminism. This paper aims to explain the domination of women and nature by a patriarchal society through the concepts of anthropocentrism, androcentric, geopolitics, Gyn/Ecology. Along with revisiting ecofeminism through the concept of Gyn/Ecology. This study uses qualitative research techniques and a descriptive approach. The novel The Folded Earth was chosen by the researcher for this study because it highlights the anthropocentric perspective on women and nature and it is reasonable in terms of ecological learning. The primary findings of this study include how the female characters in the novel find every means to live happy lives in harmony with nature in a society dominated by males, as well as how the main idea of Gyn/Ecology highlights the negative impacts of anthropocentrism in the novel The Folded Earth. The researcher’s implications include raising public awareness of women’s oppression and environmental degradation for further study in this area.

Authors: GÜCÜYEN Engin , ERDEM R. Tuğrul , KANTAR Erkan
Published: October 2024

Pipelines are significant structural systems that transfer necessary materials from one place to another. They are under the effect of static and dynamic loads during their service lives. Investigations have become important to determine the effects of sudden dynamic loads with technological developments. Researchers study the mechanical properties of different materials and structural members under dynamic effects such as earthquake, wind, blast, rock falling and vehicle crushing. For this purpose, different test setups have been developed to investigate the behaviour of test members. In this study, galvanized and water filled galvanized pipe sections having three different diameter values are produced in a laboratory to perform tests under impact loading. The behaviour of the pipes is determined by free falling test apparatus. In addition, measurement devices as accelerometer, dynamic force sensor, lvdt, and data logger are used in the experimental program. So, acceleration, impact force, and displacement values are obtained during the tests. Besides, damage developments of the pipes are also observed to determine the impact resistances of test members. The results are compared to each other and it is stated that while acceleration and impact force values decrease, displacement values increase as the test members approach to collapse damage situation.
Animo Math: the Role-Playing Game in Mathematical Learning for Children
Authors: Sukstrienwong Anon
Published: October 2024

Presently, the advancement of modern digital technology has increasingly influenced playing and learning. This may cause serious problems in children because it possibly encourages them to obsess over something else easily. However, most parents want their children to be good in classes. Additionally, mathematics is one of the most basic skills that most parents expect their children to master. In order to encourage students to pay more attention to mathematics, the mathematical game referred as to ‘Animo Math’ has been developed for children aged 5-7 years. This game enables children to pick the cartoon animals representing themselves while playing the game. Colourful cartoon and music are utilised to attract the attention of children. More importantly, the game aims to serve children who have different ages and mathematical skills; therefore artificial intelligence (AI) is adopted. In order to develop the computer-based role-playing game, a usability testing is conducted to obtain better aspects of building this educational computer game for children. We anticipate that our research findings related to this game will encourage more educators and others to develop more software applications in order to enhance students’ mathematics learning.

Published: October 2024

In order to be competitive on the market, company’s managers permanently monitor and implement changes in companies, whether they are caused by internal or external factors. The purpose of this paper is to explain managerial stress caused by implementation of changes and to quantify that stress. Usually the implementation of each change causes stress among the employees, and the stress from the individual level slowly spreads to a collective level, that is to say, organizational level, and all the way to the managers. How much the manager will successfully lead the project for implementation of a change and how much they will manage to amortize the stress among the employees, mostly depends on their expertise, knowledge and skills to accurately and comprehensively inform and integrate the employees in the overall process. Methodology. For this purpose, a descriptive analysis of the data was conducted regarding the qualitative responses. In addition to the descriptive statistics, for the examination of this issue, factor analysis of the results in SPSS was conducted. The factor analysis is one of the methods of multidimensional analysis whose main task is to reduce the variables and explain their interconnectedness.

All the indicators of the family Enterobacteriaceae and P. putida KT 2440 were resistant to the studied strains of actinobacteria.
Conclusions. Strains of actinobacteria isolated from marine sponges Haliclona spp. inhibit the growth of indicator strains of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms. S. aureus АТСС 25923, M. luteus АТСС 4698, E. faecalis АТСС 29212, K. rhizophila DSM 348, P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 and C. albicans ATCC 18804 are the most sensitive to the antagonistic action of actinobacteria. Strains of actinobacteria Hal 2, Hal 4 and Hal 14, which suppressed the ability to grow of the large quantity of indicator microorganisms with significant zones of inhibition of the growth, were chosen for further studies of the spectrum and properties of their secondary metabolites.
USE OF MICROORGANISMS IN BIOREMEDIATION OF SOILS CONTAMINATED AS A RESULT OF MILITARY ACTIONS
Authors: Galkin M. B. , Strashnova I. V. , Andryushchenko A. V.
Published: October 2024

As a result of military activities, soils are contaminated with substances from explosives and firearm mechanisms, fuel, lubricants, and heavy metals, all of which have detrimental effects on ecosystems. This article analyzes the main methods of bioremediation for such contaminated soil. The use of soil slurry reactors, land farming technique, composting, biostimulation, bioaugmentation, and immobilized microorganisms can eliminate up to 99% of toxic substances through natural or introduced microbiota. The duration of the cleanup process ranges from several weeks to several years, depending on the remediation method, climatic conditions, and the level of contamination. The use of combined methods is promising. The remediation is achieved through various mechanisms, including the complete or partial breakdown of substances with their transformation into non-toxic forms (explosives, petroleum products), bioaccumulation, biosorption, bioprecipitation, and bioreduction (heavy metals). Both aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms participate in bioremediation, with representatives from the genera Pseudomonas, Clostridium, Bacillus, Serratia, Stenotrophomonas, Arthrobacter, Rhodococcus, Cellulomonas and others most frequently described in the literature. Further search for strains capable of simultaneously cleaning the soil from multiple types of pollutants is necessary.

Aim. Characterization of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) from water and mussels of the Black Sea with the potential to produce antibacterial compounds.
Methods. The isolation of lactobacteria from water and mussels, their enumeration were performed by standard microbiological methods. Determination of their morphological, tinctorial, cultural, and biochemical characteristics were performed by Gram staining with immersion microscopy, describing the growth in liquid MRS media with and without 6.5% NaCl, catalase test. Genus-specific classic PCR was used for identification of isolated bacteria. To study the antagonistic interactions of the strains the perpendicular streak method was used.
Results. In water of the Black Sea from Odesa bay, collected in winter period, 2×10–4.8×102 CFU/mL of lactobacteria were found, while only in three mussels from seven (42.9%) LAB were detected (1.7×10±0.7 CFU/mL). Thirteen new strains of lactobacteria were isolated and characterized – eight strains from water and five from mussels. Among them, nine strains were identified as Enterococcus sp., one strain – as Lactobacillus sp., and three LAB strains remained unidentified. The new strains Enterococcus W1.1, Enterococcus W1.2, Enterococcus W1.3, Enterococcus W2.3, and Enterococcus М7.1 exhibited antagonistic activity against other closely related strains and Lactobacillus sakei subsp. sakei JCM1157.
Conclusions. The Black Sea water and mussels tissue liquor in winter period contain 2×10–4.8×102 CFU/mL and 1.7×10±0.7 CFU/mL of LAB, respectively. The strains Enterococcus W1.1, Enterococcus W1.2, Enterococcus W1.3, Enterococcus W2.3, and Enterococcus М7.1 are potential producers of antibacterial compounds.

Published: October 2024

The New Pact on Migration and Asylum. In recent years, the scale of migration flows in Europe has necessitated additional reforms to control external borders and migrant flows. The European Commission has proposed The New Pact on Migration and Asylum, which is a set of regulations to create a fairer, efficient, and more sustainable migration and asylum process for the European Union. The new Pact agreed between the European Parliament and the Council in December 2023. The aim of this chapter is to set out the objectives of the new Pact on Migration and Asylum and the proposed changes to the migration and asylum system. Analysis of the EU legal acts and literature review are used as main research methods in the chapter. The results show that the new common approach to migration and asylum is based on solidarity, responsibility, and respect for human rights. The proposals set out in the legislative proposals that form part of the Pact include principles on the processing of asylum applications, the introduction of temporary emergency measures for crisis situations, the improvement of the EU fingerprint database for asylum seekers, the introduction of screening, reception conditions for asylum seekers, the creation of a permanent EU resettlement framework, the harmonisation of protection standards and the rights of asylum seekers. As planned, the new rules are intended to increase the efficiency of the European asylum system, which is crucial in the light of the predicted intensification of migratory flows worldwide.

Expansion of digitally deliverable services in the global trade. The chapter presents the concept, essence and types of digitally deliverable services (DDS), the category extracted from the broader group – digital trade – which, in addition to DDS, includes goods and services ordered electronically but delivered in a traditional manner (cross-border e-commerce) and trade in digital content embodied in a tangible product. As the name suggests, DDS can be delivered electronically (like ICT services, sales and marketing services, financial services, professional services, and education and training services). In the trade of these services, geographical distance and other determinants shaping trade flows in goods and traditional services have become less and less important. Based on the review of reports and data provided by UNCTAD, WTO and OECD, the author uses stylised facts to illustrate the phenomenon and discuss its determinants and consequences across different types of economies. The analysis reveals that at both – the macro- and micro-levels, on the supply and demand side of DDS, a variety of challenges and barriers can be identified. Their multifaceted, careful examination becomes necessary to understand the phenomenon and propose appropriate solutions for both those creating and offering digital services, consumers, and policymakers responsible for regulations leading to the full exploitation of the growth potential of the digital transformation of the service sector.

Circular economy as an approach to optimize material management. This chapter aims to present the principal assumptions of the circular economy (CE), which advocates for the rational exploitation of natural resources and emphasises the significance of a closed and continuous cycle in their utilisation, supporting the concept of sustainable and enduring development. Furthermore, the discussions are designed to underscore the necessity of creating consumption patterns and utilising production functions that, as an essential element of management optimisation, advocate for the closure of the material and energy cycles in anthropogenic processes. This chapter strives to portray CE as an initiative that seeks to completely decouple global economic growth from finite resource consumption. This study employs a descriptive research design, incorporating a literature survey followed by logical (epistemological) reasoning and a systemic approach. The continuous effort to increase the production capacity of the economy, aiming to enhance social well-being, exerts significant pressure on the environment. The traditional linear production process involves the unsustainable use of natural resources and generates substantial amounts of waste. This model poses a serious risk of depleting natural materials and precipitating climate change disasters, potentially leading to the collapse of economic and social systems. CE advocates a transition from extractive economies, characterised by excessive and wasteful consumption, to economic models founded on resource efficiency, reuse, sharing, and closed loops. This transition can be facilitated by implementing circular business models that offer solutions to extend the product lifecycle, including repairing and improving products, recovering raw materials from by-products, and recycling end-of-life products, or activities encouraging sharing.

Integrated Water Resources Management – selected practical aspects on the example of Poland. The purpose of the study is to present the main assumptions of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) and to indicate the practical aspects of the implementation of the IWRM into the Polish legal system. Therefore, it will be discussed, among others, a new organizational structure for water management, taking into account the river basin system and a list of water management planning documents. The practical aim of the chapter is to identify and discuss the sources of spatial data in the field of water management used in water management planning and in spatial planning. The work used scientific literature, current legal acts and water management planning documents (as of December 31, 2023) as well as data provided by the PGW Wody Polskie. A query of spatial data regarding water resources management was carried out in the period December 1–31, 2023. The analyses carried out confirmed, e.g., that the takeover of the competences of the provincial land improvement and water facilities boards by PGW Wody Polskie on January 1, 2018 constitutes the implementation of the provisions of the Water Framework Directive of October 23, 2,000 regarding the management of water resources within hydrographic, and not administrative, units, and that numerous changes introduced in the Water Law Act of July 20, 2017 contribute to delays in the development of water management planning documents in Poland.

The article reviews legal forms of investing in the digital economy. The author finds out that the primary instrument of circulation of investments in the virtual space is the contractual legal form that can ensure interaction between all participants of the virtual investment market. A conclusion is reached that an investment platform operator is the main subject of regulation on the market of investments in the digital sphere, thus, these are service agreements on investing with the use of investment platforms that play the key role rather than an investment agreement, which is more of a technical nature.
Legal Regulation of the Inter-University Quantum Communication Network
Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of Information Law and Digital Technologies of the Kutafin Moscow State Law University (MSAL), Evsikov Kirill S.
Published: October 2024

According to the Concept of Technological Development for the period up to 2030, quantum communications are included in the list of end-to-end technologies (technological directions), which should be supported by public authorities in the Russian Federation. This is a new type of information technology, the potential of which for data protection and information transfer in our country has not been fully realized. In order to stimulate research in this area, as well as attract young scientists to the development of technologies, in 2023 it was decided to create an interuniversity quantum communication network that will unite several domestic universities and allow testing experimental and commercial prototypes in the field of quantum communications and quantum cryptography. To date, the full-fledged operation of the network has not been carried out, the reason for which, as the study showed, is the presence of a number of legal barriers that complicate access to the network, as well as unnecessarily bureaucratize its commercial operation. As part of the analysis of the current legislation, it was concluded that it is not possible to change the legislation for the interuniversity quantum communication network in the medium term, which made it possible to put forward and justify a proposal to create an appropriate experimental legal regime in the field of digital innovations. The author analyzes the legislation that applies to public relations arising in the field of quantum communications, and proposes elements of a special legal regime for an interuniversity quantum communication network.

Authors:   Associate Professor of the Department of State, Civil and Legal Disciplines of the Ryazan Branch of the Kikot Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, Semenov Viktor V.
Published: October 2024

The article analyzes civil legislation on transactions in Russia and China. The author points out that the development of trade relations between these two countries dictates the need to pay attention to the peculiarities of the legal regulation of transactions. Ensuring proper civil law interaction between counterparties can be facilitated by the convergence of legislation on transactions. To better understand their regulation, the author analyzes Chinese and Russian civil law by comparing the legal regulation of transactions. The article concludes that legislators in China and Russia, when forming general provisions on transactions, used a common approach, which is determined by the fact that the roots of civil legislation in both countries go back to the theoretical developments of German pandectists of the 19th century. Chinese civil law, like Russian civil law, has changed over time in terms of regulating transactions. The legislator of the PRC not only successfully used proven foreign principles, but also took into account the resources of ancient and modern China. Despite the identified similarities, the legislation on transactions in the countries under consideration also has a number of features. At the same time, they should not have a significant impact on the civil law interaction of entities from the countries under consideration, since they are more theoretical than applied in nature.

The subject of this article is age-related insanity and its criminal consequences. The purpose of this work is to analyze such grounds for exemption from criminal liability as age insanity. The relevance of the work is due to the fact that when bringing the subject of a crime to justice, the state in which he committed a socially dangerous act is taken into account. The article indicates that the norm of age-related insanity in modern science and law enforcement practice causes a lot of disputes concerning both terminology and the very essence of the phenomenon under consideration. Some disagreements arise about the practical necessity of using age-related insanity in the aspect of distinguishing it from limited sanity. The article also analyzes age-related insanity, identifies criteria for its establishment, compares it with the institute of limited sanity, identifies problematic issues of their correlation and considers possible solutions.

For universities, characterizing graduation rates is a key indicator reflecting academic quality and the institution's ability to guide students towards successful entry into the workforce. This paper proposes a time series model for characterizing and predicting graduation rates at the University of Cartagena. Methodologically, the CRISP-DM methodology was adapted into four phases: P1. Business and data understanding, P2. Data preparation, P3. Model construction and evaluation, and P4. Deployment. As a result, various ARIMA models were implemented and evaluated to determine the best fitting model. This model serves as a reference for developing tools to support decision-making by university administrators regarding the number of graduating professionals, in line with educational quality standards.

Published: October 2024

En el presente artículo se pretende comprender interacciones entre regulación metacognitiva social y solución colaborativa de problemas, en particular, la representación del problema, en el diseño de entornos virtuales de aprendizaje. Se indagó el fenómeno en un entorno de aprendizaje que utilizó un sistema de videoconferencia, a partir del registro de las interacciones verbales. Los participantes fueron estudiantes de un curso sobre aprendizaje y tecnología, de dos programas de formación inicial docente de una universidad pública. La estrategia metodológica usada fue el análisis del discurso, desde la perspectiva de la psicología discursiva. Se caracterizaron tres modelos de interacción discursiva, a saber: desconexión individual, conexión individual y conexión grupal. Se concluyó que el reconocimiento o no de las versiones propias y de los otros sobre la representación del problema, propicia sinergias discursivas que afianzan o no el acuerdo y el consenso y, las relaciones de solidaridad y confianza.
