Nie taki wilk straszny – strukturalne uwarunkowania populizmu w głównym nurcie amerykańskiej demokracji
Authors: Szklarski Bohdan
Published: July 2024

Analyzing various types of populism, we face the question of the role of tension between leaders and the structures of political systems, we face the question of the role of tension between leaders and the structures of political systems. This tension creates the „institutional paradox of populism”, in which populist leaders may rely on the institutions that are the subject of their criticism on their way to power and in how they exercise it. What unites the various perspectives on populism is that they most often contain a negative evaluative element, suggesting that the phenomena of populism are an undesirable departure from „normality”. The following text indicates that in American democracy it is quite the opposite. Phenomena associated with populism are a permanent and indispensable element of mainstream American politics. To illustrate this thesis, the convergence between the classic features of populism and the features defining the character of American democracy was demonstrated. This convergence is a derivative of the durable structures of American democracy.

Russian mutual insurance market: Limitations for development
Authors: Belozerov S. A. , Romanova A. В.
Published: July 2024

Aim. To assess the practical significance of the possible implementation of some proposals aimed at the development of the insurance market, based on the analysis of statistical data on the activities of insurance organizations and mutual insurance societies, particularly in the field of insurance of civil liability of notaries.

Objectives. With the help of statistical data on the activity of insurance organizations and mutual insurance societies to identify the practical significance of the initiative and its impact on the development of mutual insurers in the insurance industry.

Methods. The present study is built on the basis of empirical methods such as observation, comparison, generalization, induction, deduction.

Results. The authors analyzed the activity of insurance companies in 2023 in the aspect of insurance organizations and mutual insurance societies, including the impact and significance of the type of insurance of civil liability of notaries on the insurance industry. Taking into account the actually full coverage of notaries by insurance services required by law, there are no problems in the conclusion and execution of these insurance contracts, according to the author’s position. The presence of an insignificant number of insurance organizations in this segment and small volumes of premiums in relation to the total premium collections indicate a low interest of insurers in this type of insurance. Today the market of compulsory insurance of notaries is actually covered and closed for new players. The authors believe that admission of mutual insurers to this segment will not practically lead to the development of mutual insurance and improvement of the insurance market as a whole.

Conclusions. Despite the tasks set by supervisory and regulatory authorities to strengthen and develop the insurance market, the initiatives put forward to modernize the mutual insurance market are noteworthy and are certainly important, timely, but insufficient for the realization of the set tasks. The authors conclude that the admission of mutual insurers only to the market of notaries’ liability insurance will not be a significant stimulus for the development of mutual insurance and improvement of the Russian insurance market.

Authors: Jeevagan Sruthi
Published: July 2024

Following orthodontic treatment, some patients experience relapse, which is a significant challenge in maintaining
treatment results. Ensuring the stability of outcomes, particularly the lower anterior teeth, is crucial from the patient's
perspective. This aspect of orthodontic care is considered one of the most difficult tasks, as it demands sustained effort
even after the active treatment phase concludes. Relapse can occur in patients regardless of their adherence to retention
protocols, highlighting the complexity of achieving long-term stability. Consequently, the issue of relapse has been
extensively studied. This case report examines the use of red elastics for controlled segmental space closure, aiming to
provide a reliable solution for managing tooth movement and minimizing relapse in orthodontic treatment.

Published: July 2024

In today’s digital era, human-computer interac tion interfaces evolve and increase together with the needs of the users. However, the existing technologies have their limita tions, which can hinder the efficiency of modern input devices like the Kinect sensor or other similar sensors. In this paper we improved our previous algorithm by extending it with two algo rithms that aim to help telerehabilitation for individuals with movement disabilities. These two algorithms are based on the k Nearest Neighbors, the k-Means algorithms. The algorithms are designed to accommodate the needs of the patients by adapting to their gestures based on their previous three. Using these ges tures, the algorithms create multiple gesture acceptance domains around each coordinate of the gesture. Consequently, they decide whether the next user-input gesture can be considered the same movement. The accuracy of these algorithms was evaluated in three acceptance domains by comparing gesture descriptors with either the Euclidean or the Manhattan distance calculation meth ods. The results show that k-Nearest Neighbors algorithm yields better results in larger acceptance domains, while the k-Means algorithm can provide a better gesture acceptance rate in the smaller ones. The results show that both algorithms can be used in the telerehabilitation process, although the k-Means algorithm is more accurate than the k-Nearest Neighbors algorithm.

The availability of digital platforms by ensur ing accessibility and usability is considered a virtual gateway to provide a wide array of information to its stakeholders. An accessible web platform can disseminate information among a variety of target audiences. Thereby accessibility of academic web pages requires special attention. Herein we proposed an accessibility computation approach for higher education in stitute webpage (Homepage) in the context of universities in Hungary. The proposed approach incorporated two machine learning (ML) classifiers: Random Forest (RF), and Decision Tree (DT) to experiment on our custom dataset to compute the overall accessibility score. Performance of ML methods vali dated through confusion matrix and classification report result. The empirical results of ML methods and statistical evaluation showed poor accessibility scores which depicts that none of the selected web pages are free from accessibility issues associ ated with disabilities. As such, accessibility is a crucial aspect that needs further concern as most of the considered academic webpages have experienced accessibility issues and showed im provement demands.

Como são possíveis juízos jurídicos sintéticos a priori?
Authors: Barbieri DURÃO Aylton
Published: July 2024

Transcendental Freedom is the foundation of practical freedom which, in turn, is the foundation of moral philosophy, which consists in the determination of the maxims of choice by the moral law arising from the will and the neutralizationof sensitive inclinations. But freedom is divided into internal freedom of choice, when will determine the matter of choice, establishing ends that are also duties, which makes the supreme principle of the doctrine of virtue a maxim of ends and, therefore, a synthetic a priori judgment; and freedom in the external use of choice, which determines the form of the choice, which allows the choice to exist according to any ends, as long as the action occurs only in accordance with duty, but not from duty, which makes the principle of right possible. After trying to formulate the principle of right as a synthetic a priori judgment in the form of a categorical imperative, Kant abandons this project and states that the principle of right is an analytical judgment because it can be deduced directly from freedom through the principle of contradiction, a since, in the right, the ends of the action can be any. However, if the right is deduced from an analytical judgment, it cannot belong to critical philosophy, as it is necessary to show that metaphysics is composed of a priori synthetic judgments, therefore, there must be another principle from which the majority of juridical duties are deduced as synthetic a priori judgments. Therefore, Kant introduced the unified will of the people, as an a priori synthetic judgment capable of showing how empirical possession, authorized by the juridical postulate of practical reason, in the state of nature, can be transformed into merely juridical possession, as an intelligible possession, without detaining the object, in the civil status, expanding practical reason beyond simple freedom, which explains how synthetic a priori juridicaljudgments are possible.

The moral psychology of individual-level adherenceto symbolic green narratives: a Kantian theoreticalapproach
Authors: ZANCHET Eugênia
Published: July 2024

Why do agents, who consider themselves ethical or green consumers, endorse green narratives they acknowledge to be deceptive? In this paper I draw on Kant’s moral psychology to propose a conceptual framework that provides us with elements to explain individual-level adherence to symbolic green narratives (SGN). From a theoretical perspective, I show how Kant’s moral psychology provides insights consistent with the state of the art in contemporary social psychology regarding why green consumers fail to enact their best judgment when it comes to endorsing such narratives. My approach is complementary to other theories in arguing that many of our actions in the moral field, and particularly actions and decisions concerning green narratives, are typically pursued aiming not merely at virtue signaling but also at self-affirmation concerning one’s own virtue.

Published: July 2024

Salah satu risiko utama penyakit jantung dan stroke adalah kolesterol. Kolesterol adalah sejenis lemak yang diproduksi terutama oleh hati dan diserap dalam jumlah kecil dari makanan. Kadar kolesterol ideal dalam tubuh manusia sebaiknya kurang dari 200 mg/dl. Salah satu cara untuk memeriksa kadar kolesterol adalah dengan tes gula darah yang mengharuskan pasien  berpuasa selama 10 hingga 12 jam. Mengingat bahaya yang ditimbulkan oleh kadar kolesterol tinggi, maka perlu adanya metode skrining dini yang praktis untuk mendeteksi kadar kolesterol tinggi dalam tubuh manusia. Iridologi adalah analisis iris mata untuk mendeteksi kondisi kesehatan dan menunjukkan hubungan  pola iris mata dengan kadar kolesterol. Iris mata mempunyai keistimewaan tersendiri karena mampu mencatat keadaan seluruh organ, struktur tubuh, dan keadaan psikologis. Oleh karena itu, iridologi dapat menjadi alternatif  analisis medis. Penelitian ini mengusulkan penggunaan algoritma jaringan saraf konvolusional menggunakan model MobileNetV2 yang telah dilatih sebelumnya. Dataset citra iris mata yang digunakan terdiri dari 200 citra yang diklasifikasikan menjadi dua kelas yaitu citra mata normal dan mata kolesterol. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa model yang diusulkan mampu mencapai akurasi  F1 score sebesar 89,6%. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa model ini memiliki potensi besar sebagai alat  yang praktis dan hemat biaya untuk mendeteksi kolesterol. Diperlukan penelitian lebih lanjut dengan kumpulan data yang lebih besar  untuk meningkatkan akurasi dan validitas

Published: July 2024

Pertumbuhan industri animasi di Indonesia diprediksi akan terus berkembang. Hal ini bisa dilihat dari perkembangan animasi di Indonesia yang didominasi dengan animasi 2 dimensi dan 3dimensi dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, sekaligus ditandai dengan banyaknya animator asal Indonesia yang sukses di kancah internasional. Umumnya animasi diterapkan pada gerakan gerakan karakter baik itu gerakan sederhana seperti berjalan, hingga gerakan kompleks seperti pertarungan. Dalam penerapannya pun, berbagai metode dapat digunakan asalkan bisa mewujudkan gerakan animasi yang sesuai dengan gerakan aslinya. Umumnya hal ini berhasil dilakukan dikarenakan dalam gerakan yang kompleks, kecepatan gerakan seolah mengaburkan detail animasi dari gerakan tersebut. Namun hal ini tidak berlaku pada salah satu jenis gerakan yang sangat jarang diangkat daam animasi, gerakan ini adalah gerakan menari. Alasan mengapa gerakan menari sangat jarang dianimasikan, dikarenakan tarian adalah salah satu rangkaian gerakan yang memiliki kecepatan rendah, sehingga detail-detail dalam setiap perubahan gerak pada satu tarian, bisa menhasilkan ratusan bahkan ribuan frame ketika dirubah menjadi bentuk animasi. Dalam memvisualisasikan seni tari dengan visual animasi bukanlah hal yang mudah, karena banyakanya frame yang harus dibuat agar tarian tersebut terlihat natural. Apalagi dengan menggunakan teknik animasi seperti frame by frame dan cutout, tentunya justru menambah panjang waktu pengerjaan dan kuantitas gambar yang dihasilkan. Sebenarnya, selain frame by frame dan cutout, masih ada teknik animasi lainnya yang bisa saja diterapkan untuk mengatasi masalah banyaknya frame dalam gerkan tari. Salah satu solusi untuk memvisualisasikan tarian dalam bentuk animasi. Yaitu dengan teknik rotoscoping yang bisa menjembatani seni tari dengan animasi. Rotoscoping ini meniru setiap perubahan gerak pada tari, dan merubahnya menjadi frame. Namun jika hanya menggunakan teknik ini, maka gambar yang dihasilkan masih akan terlalu banyak, sehingga itu perlu ditambahkan satu teknik lagi yaitu frame elimination. Untuk itu, penulis ingin mengamplikasikan teknik rotoscoping dalam pembuatan animasi tari zapin. Untuk mengetahui apakah seni tari dapat divisualisasikan dengan baik dengan teknik rotoscoping dan Frame Elimination.

This research focuses on advances in the onion (Allium ascalonicum) disease detection system using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) with the Perceptron Algorithm. Onions are an important horticultural commodity with substantial economic importance in Indonesia. However, shallot production is often hampered by various diseases that can cause significant losses. Timely identification and effective management of the disease is essential to reduce its adverse effects. Expert systems that utilize artificial intelligence, especially ANN, have proven effective in plant disease detection. ANN imitates the way the human brain works in recognizing patterns and making decisions based on the data obtained. This study used data on onion disease symptoms which consisted of 13 symptoms and 7 types of disease. Each symptom and disease is connected in a knowledge base which is then analyzed using the Perceptron Algorithm. Perceptron is a supervised learning algorithm used for classification and pattern recognition. The training process involves initializing weights and biases, calculating output responses, and adjusting weights if errors occur. The final result of this system is the identification of the type of disease that attacks shallots based on the symptoms observed. The implementation of this system includes a home display, diagnostic display, and diagnostic results display. This system allows users to diagnose shallot diseases by answering questions related to the symptoms observed. The diagnosis results will display the type of disease and the recommended solution. This research shows that the Perceptron algorithm can be applied effectively in shallot disease detection systems, helping farmers identify and manage diseases more quickly and accurately.

Virulence Factors and the Effect of Garlic Extract against Proteus mirabilis Isolated from Patients with UTI at Thi-Qar Province
Authors: Kadhum Ali Abd
Published: July 2024

Background: Proteus mirabilis isolates are nosocomial bacteria that increase the incidence of multidrug-resistant infections in immunocompromised patients. The garlic genus belongs to the Allium family, and its cultivation is widespread throughout the world. The study aimed to evaluate the efficiency of garlic extract against different strains of P. mirabilis that can products biofilms and carry genes such as blaCTX-M. and pm1 genes. Method: Sixty three specimens were collected from identified patients' UTI from Al-nasiriyah general hospital between September and December 2023. Using microbial culture methods, the samples were cultured, and using Biochemical and VITEK system tests, the P. mirabilis isolates were diagnosed and confirmed. Results: Out of a total of 63 specimens isolated from UTI patients, there were 11 bacterial isolates, and the results of the garlic extract were against the bacteria. 3 isolates were susceptible, and only two isolates were moderately sensitive at a concentration of 100%, three isolates were sensitive at a concentration of 75%, and only two bacterial isolates, one of which was moderately sensitive and the other resistant, respectively. It was noted that most of the bacterial isolates carried the blaCTX-M gene. While all isolates were able to produce biofilms using sterile polystyrene 96-well microtiter plates. In addition, all bacterial isolates carried the pm1 gene.

The new drug research is usually based on synthesis medicine. The use of these medications has created problems such as tolerance in humans, for a long time and due to legitimate use of anti-infection, microbial defense against branded medication is growing. A mutagensis study by Ames in the early 1970's, used worldwide by drug and chemicals companies to diagnose mutagens carcinogenes, making it possible for them to be detected, and to be added to the mutagenic synthesis portion or radiation source triggering irreversible changes, and to the genetic material transmitted from the parent. deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The purpose of this study was to assessment of carcinogenicity of synthetic compounds series by hemolytic, Ames and Damaged DNA protection assay. The cytotoxicity was determined with hemolytic assay and DNA Damage protection assay while mutagenicity was resolute by using S. typhimurium TA100 and TA98 strains. It is concluded that the compounds with less hemolytic compounds are good for uses in drugs. Synthetic compounds were determined to be non- mutagenic in nature. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was applied to compare the hemolysis percent between different concentrations.

Statement of the problem. At present, one of the most significant tasks in the road industry is the actua-lization of the methodology for designing flexible pavements. In order to ensure extended pavement service life, design issues are of particular relevance, which requires the improvement of existing and the development of new calculation criteria, one of which is the calculation of asphalt concrete layers for fatigue life. Results. Comparative tests of various types of asphalt concrete selected at road construction sites were carried out using modern laboratory methods to evaluate their fatigue properties. The dependences between the relative tensile deformation of asphalt concrete and the number of load application cycles during tests by various methods are obtained. Conclusions. Through the course of the research, possible reasons for the heterogeneity of the results obtained on four-point bending installations were identified. For further research, the indirect stretching method is set forth as the main method, as it provides greater uniformity and determinism of the results, and the four-point bending method is proposed to be considered as an additional one, confirming the results obtained with indirect stretching.

Mutual fund as an investment avenue provides a platform to the investor who does not want to take high risk on their hard-earned investment. In India, mutual fund industry is growing rapidly and this industry has emerged as an important segment of the financial market of India, especially in channelizing and mobilizing the savings of millions of individuals into the investment in equity and debt instruments. Mutual fund investment is less risky than investing directly in stocks and is therefore a safer option for risk averse investors. A competent fund manager should analyse investor behaviour, perception, and attitude and understand their needs and expectations to gear up the performance to meet investor expectations and requirements. 
Also, the mutual fund industry today is one of the most preferred investment options of all over the world. It plays a crucial role in the economic development of a country. Mutual fund active involvement can be seen by their dominant presence in the money market as well as the capital market. They are also found very active in the stock market by way of ensuring stability as a supplier of large funds through steady absorption of floating stocks. Investors invest directly in individual securities or indirectly through a financial intermediary. Study intends to identify the usage of schemes and level of risk on the basis of their income level. The findings of the study indicate that the majority of the selected respondents have used open ended schemes with moderate risk.
