Celiac Disease and the Susceptibility of COVID-19 and the Risk of Severe COVID-19: A Mendelian Randomization Study
Authors: Li Jiuling , Tian Aowen , Yang Dandan , Zhang Miaoran , Chen Lanlan , Wen Jianping , Chen Peng
Published: April 2022

INTRODUCTION:

Previous observational studies have found that the susceptibility of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and the risk of severe COVID-19 are not increased in patients with celiac disease (CeD). However, the findings of observational studies are prone to bias due to reverse causation and confounding factors, especially in the case of a newly emerged disease. In this study, we aimed to further clarify the underlying relationship by both observational and Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.

METHODS:

This observational study was conducted in the UK Biobank cohort. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to identify the risk factors of COVID-19 susceptibility and severe COVID-19. To understand the causality between CeD and COVID-19 susceptibility and severe COVID-19, we performed a 2-sample MR analysis.

RESULTS:

Our observational study showed that patients with CeD had a lower susceptibility of COVID-19 (odds ratio [OR] = 0.699, P = 0.006) while CeD was not significantly associated with severe COVID-19 (P > 0.05). The findings from our MR study further demonstrated that both the susceptibility to COVID-19 (OR = 0.963, P = 0.006) and severe COVID-19 (OR = 0.919, P = 0.049) were lower in patients with CeD, although the former seemed to be specific to the UK Biobank cohort.

DISCUSSION:

Our results suggested that it may be unnecessary to take extra COVID-19 precaution in patients with CeD.

O turismo rural é visto como uma ferramenta para promover o crescimento econômico e o bem-estar social em áreas com baixo índice de desenvolvimento humano e que possuem atrativos naturais de interesse. É também considerado uma atividade econômica complementar por comunidades agrícolas que buscam promover a comercialização de produtos, bens e serviços. O principal atrativo do turismo rural são as diferentes características sociais e biofísicas da região (muitas das quais têm expressão espacial). A análise dessas características que têm expressão espacial pode ser feita com ajuda de sistemas de informação geográfica e sensoriamento remoto, facilitando sua gestão, planejamento e execução. Portanto, este artigo tem como objetivo analisar por meio de revisão bibliográfica diferentes metodologias aplicadas ao planejamento de projetos de turismo rural com o emprego de recursos e ferramentas de geoprocessamento.

Optimization of clove flower oil extraction (Syzgium aromaticum L.) With Factorial Design Method
Authors: Muwaffaq Muhammad Asror , Supriyo Edy
Published: April 2022

Solid-liquid extraction or commonly called leaching is the removal of the solute fraction (solute) from a solid to a liquid solvent. This extraction has become a widespread oil extraction process due to the high percentage of oil produced. Soxhletation method is an extraction method that contacts a solid and a liquid by dissolving it in the liquid phase at reflux. Clove oil is an essential oil that can be produced from distillation method on parts of the clove plant, especially the leaves and flowers of cloves. All parts of the clove plant contain oil, but the flowers contain the most oil. Because the leaves and twigs of cloves also produce oil, they also become a side income for clove farmers who harvest clove flowers for cigarettes. One of the most important ingredients in clove oil is eugenol, eugenol has many benefits from antiseptic to stimulant. Isopropyl alcohol is a unwell-known solvent specially to essential oil solvent, isopropyl alcohol is a solvent that can be recovered back into a solvent form usually using distillation method. The selection of isopropyl alcohol as a solvent is based on its high boiling point compared to other solvents and has elements of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen that can dissolve polar molecules and their alkyl groups.

Between the Map and the Terrain
Authors: Rees Ellen
Published: April 2022

This article explores heteropian, utopian and dystopian places in Erlend O. Nødtvedt’s 2017 novel, Vestlandet, in order to better understand how the author uses references to regional historical and contemporary figures and events to construct what Edward Said labeled a cultural archive in a larger anti-imperialist project. Language, landscape, and identity form the core of Nødtvedt’s project. This raucously humorous novel activates the Foucauldian heteropias of indefinitely accumulating time and of the festival, as well as Marc Augé’s notion of the non-place in order to comment upon the perceived cultural and political divide between western and eastern Norway.
Nature, Work, and Transcendence
Authors: Mohnike Thomas
Published: April 2022

This article analyzes the function of Christian intertexts in Selma Lagerlöf’sNils Holgersson’s Marvelous Journey Through Sweden(1906/7). The intertexts structure the story both narratively and ethically. For the most part, however, they are not explicitly used as Christian. The intention of the book is not to transmit these stories, but to translate them into the new, national discourse. They were stripped of their original religious context and placed in the service of what might be called a national religion. In this process, the loss of the Christian framework did not mean the abolition of central ethical elements that were significant for Protestant practice. In particular, the pietistic heritage of a work ethic, the necessity of learning and education in order to become a true Christian – or, in its secular version, a true human citizen of the world with respect for others, taking responsibility for one’s own life and that of others, being humble and industrious – are central to the propagated morality of Nils Holgersson’s travelling school. Moreover, the transition from vertically to horizontally ordered space in the course of nationalizing the organization of the imagined community of Sweden seems to demand that the location of metaphysical transcendence be moved from heaven to earth; nature takes the place of the divine.
Single-source-precursor synthesis and characterization of SiAlC(O) ceramics from a hyperbranched polyaluminocarbosilane
Authors: Yang Le , Zhang Pei , Feng Yao , Yu Zhaoju
Published: April 2022

Polyaluminocarbosilane (PACS) as a single-source-precursor of SiAlC(O) ceramic was prepared by reacting a hyperbranched allylhydridopolycarbosilane (AHPCS) and aluminum(iii) acetylacetonate (Al(acac)3), and the PACS was characterized using gel-permeation chromatography, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic-resonance spectroscopy. The polymer-to-ceramic transformation of the obtained PACSs was investigated by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. The ceramic yield of the PACS was approximately 15% higher than that of the original AHPCS at 1,200°C. The phase composition and microstructure of the final ceramics were studied by X-ray diffraction, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. The introduction of aluminum to the SiC(O) ceramics suppressed the β-SiC crystal growth and improved the density of the ceramics that were annealed at 1,800°C, which is advantageous for high-temperature ceramics. The aluminum content of the SiAlC(O) ceramics can be readily controlled by the Al(acac)3 content in the PACS precursors.
Studying Sufism in Russia: From Ideology to Scholarship and Back
Authors: Knysh Alexander
Published: April 2022

Interest in esoteric and mystical aspects of Islam in present-day Russia and its Soviet and tsarist predecessors is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. The article starts with a critical discussion of Aleksandr Dugin’s (b. 1962) interpretations of Sufism in his ambitious intellectual project Noomachia: Wars of the Intellect [and] Civilizations of Borderlands. The author then compares Dugin’s conceptualizations of Sufism with those of several Russian writers who lived in the second half of the nineteenth century and whose portrayal of Sufism and its followers is similar to Dugin’s in some important respects. These ideologically driven constructions of Sufism stand in sharp contrast to the self-consciously objective scholarly ones (to the extent that was possible) that emerged in the late nineteenth/early twentieth century within the Russian academic and teaching institutions specializing in Eastern religions, languages, and cultures. The author argues that Russian academic conceptualizations of Sufism mirrored those of the fin-de-siècle German Islamology (Islamforschung) and then proceeds to examine the profound changes in Russian attitudes to Sufism, and Islam generally, after the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 and the rise of the Soviet state that based its legitimacy on the Marxist-Leninist concept of history with its pervasive atheism, materialism, and emphasis on class struggle. It shaped Soviet-era academic and nonacademic approaches to Sufism until the mid-1980s, when Soviet scholars began to question the Marxist-Leninist certainties of the previous six decades.
Design and error analysis of accuracy-configurable sequential multipliers via segmented carry chains
Authors: Echavarria Jorge , Wildermann Stefan , Keszocze Oliver , Khosravi Faramarz , Becher Andreas , Teich Jürgen
Published: April 2022

We present the design and a closed-form error analysis of accuracy-configurable multipliers via segmented carry chains. To address this problem, we model the approximate partial-product accumulations as a sequential process. According to a given splitting point of the carry chains, the technique herein discussed allows varying the quality of the accumulations and, consequently, the overall product. Due to these shorter critical paths, such kinds of approximate multipliers can trade-off accuracy for an increased performance whilst exploiting the inherent area savings of sequential over combinatorial approaches. We implemented multiple architectures targeting FPGAs and ASICs with different bit-widths and accuracy configurations to 1) estimate resources, power consumption, and delay, as well as to 2) evaluate those error metrics that belong to the so-called #P-complete class.
Quoting Before Canon: The Various Forms of Authority Attributed to the Epistle to the Hebrews in the Second and Third Century
Authors: Young David
Published: April 2022

The scriptural citations of early Christian theologians have often been enlisted in scholarly reconstructions concerning the development of the canon. The underlying assumption in many such reconstructions appears to have been that the frequent quotation of a writing indicates a corresponding level of authority for that writing. More recent scholarship has challenged this assumption by drawing attention to the specific rhetorical contexts in which scriptural quotations are employed. The current work contributes to this trajectory of research and the field of reception history more generally by considering citations of the Epistle to the Hebrews among the second- and third-century Christian writers who utilize the epistle most frequently, namely, Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Clement, and Origen. The utilization of the Epistle to the Hebrews by these authors bears much greater resemblance, I argue, to the compositional and citational practices of their Greek predecessors than to the canon lists created by Christian theologians in the fourth century and beyond. The evaluation of these citations within the framework of later debates about canon, therefore, serves to flatten the diversity of approaches evident among the citations of Hebrews prior to the fourth century. Careful examination of citations from the Epistle to the Hebrews in the second and third centuries reveals that the various ways in which the document was quoted were frequently determined by the immediate rhetorical context in which those quotations were employed rather than by debates about the epistle’s authority.
The effect of SiC content on microstructural and tribological properties of sintered B4C and SiC reinforced Al–Cu–Mg–Si matrix hybrid composites
Authors: Gezici Levent Ulvi , Özer Emre , Sarpkaya İbrahim , Çavdar Uğur
Published: April 2022

In this study, B4C and SiC hybrid reinforced Al–Cu–Mg–Si alloy Matrix composites were fabricated using a microwave sintering technique at a sintering temperature of 550 °C for 60 min. In the produced hybrid composites, while the B4C ratio was kept constant (3 wt%), SiC was used in four different amounts (3, 6, 9, and 12 wt%). In these produced hybrid composites, as a result of microwave sintering, thanks to the high microwave absorption of SiC, the porosities closed at a rate of 36.65–40.90%. In 3, 6, 9, and 12 wt% SiC reinforced composites, the microhardness of 100.1, 106.8, 114.4, and 117.2 HV0.05 were achieved, respectively. Due to agglomeration increasing with SiC reinforcement rate, delamination wears increased in 12 wt% SiC reinforced hybrid composite. As a result, the lowest specific wear rate was measured as 0.3374 × 10−3 mm3·(Nm)−1 in the 3 wt% B4C+9 wt% SiC reinforced sample.

Authors: Ren Yuan , Rubaiee Saeed , Ahmed Anas , Othman Asem Majed , Arora Sandeep Kumar
Published: April 2022

In order to solve the problems of data acquisition, quantitative analysis and model solving in the field of construction schedule optimization, a construction schedule optimization system based on genetic algorithm was constructed. On this basis, the construction schedule two-stage multi-objective optimization models of “duration-cost” and “fixed duration-resource equilibrium” are established, which aim at the lowest cost and resource equilibrium. Through the investigation and analysis of the project contract documents, the energy consumption and cost of the normal construction and emergency construction state of the contract plan of the basic project part (from the beginning of precipitation activities to the end of +0) are obtained. This section was optimized for the analysis. The genetic algorithm is used to solve the model, and the optimal duration of each process and the optimal start time of non-critical process are determined. The feasibility and effectiveness of the system and model are verified by practical application in the actual project, which provides support for determining the construction schedule scientifically and reasonably and helps to improve the construction schedule technical application effect and construction schedule management level.

Published: April 2022

Malting barley production in the Southeastern highlands of Ethiopia relied on almost a blanket phosphorus (P) fertilizer recommendation regardless of the diverse fertility status of the soil. This study was, therefore, conducted in Lemu–Bilbilo district at 24 fields for two cropping seasons to provide farmers with P fertilizer recommendations based on soil fertility status and to enhance malting barley production. The experiment comprised six levels of P fertilizer (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 kg P ha−1) arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. The critical concentrations for soil P levels were found above 13 mg P kg−1 for Olsen and 16 mg P kg−1 for Bray II, and were sufficient for malting barley production on Nitisol of the study area and other similar agro-ecologies. The mean P-requirement factors were 5.80 and 6.10 mg P kg−1 for Olsen and Bray II, respectively. Results further revealed that P fertilization, at a rate of 30 kg ha−1, gave 10 and 73% more grain yields of malting barley compared to the existing recommendation, 20 kg P ha−1, and treatment with no P fertilizer, respectively. Such information can be used as a guideline for soil-specific P fertilizer recommendations to increase the productivity of malting barley in the study area and other similar agro-ecologies, where soil test studies were not conducted.

Sinn, Hoffnung, spirituelle Praxis und religiöse/spirituelle (r/s) Überzeugungen stellen in der familialen Pflege besondere Herausforderungen dar und eröffnen zugleich als Ressourcen vielfältige Chancen im Umgang mit der Pflegesituation. In einem ersten Teil wird die Forschungslage zur Bedeutung von R/S bei pflegenden Angehörigen dargestellt und an einem Fallbeispiel illustriert, um im zweiten Teil an einigen Praxisbeispielen zu zeigen, wie R/S als Ressource bei pflegenden Angehörigen aufgegriffen und unterstützt werden kann. Es folgen konzeptionelle Überlegungen zur Integration der spirituellen Dimension in die Unterstützung von pflegenden Angehörigen, welche die verschiedenen Akteure und Akteurinnen vom familialen Hilfenetz bis zu ambulanten Pflegediensten berücksichtigen. Schließlich sind für die künftige Entwicklung von Unterstützungsangeboten, die R/S berücksichtigen, einige Herausforderungen zu beachten.
Liebe und Sexualität: ein Lebensthema. Theologisch-ethische Orientierungen
Authors: Schardien Stefanie
Published: April 2022

Während Sexualität in vielen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen omnipräsent erscheint, bleibt die evangelische Kirche wortkarg bei dieser „guten Gabe Gottes“. Dieser Artikel eruiert die Hintergründe für diese fehlende Positionierung und beabsichtigt eine konstruktive ethische Orientierung, die Sexualität in der Breite ihrer Ausprägungen wahrnimmt. Nach sozialen, biblischen und historischen Einsichten wird auf vier Kritierien zurückgegriffen, die eine Unterscheidung von lebensdienlichen, zu diskutierenden und zu verurteilenden Formen von Sexualität ermöglichen. Eine solche evangelische ethische Orientierung kann nicht nur einen Beitrag zur öffentlichen Debatte über Sexualität beitragen, sondern auch zur Aufarbeitung des sexuellen Missbrauchs.
Sexualisierte Gewalt gegen Kinder und religiöse Bildung. Dimensionen, Täterstrukturen, Opfererfahrungen und religiöse Ressourcen zur Bewältigung von Gewalterfahrungen
Authors: Klein Stephanie
Published: April 2022

Sexualisierte Gewalt gegen Kinder ist verborgen, aber sie findet mitten in der Gesellschaft statt. Der Schutz der Kinder und ein achtsamer Umgang mit Betroffenen ist die Aufgabe aller. Das Ziel des Artikels ist es, das Ausmaß und die Formen der sexualisierten Gewalt in der Gesellschaft wahrzunehmen. Dies ist die Grundlage dafür, ihr vorzubeugen und gegen sie einzuschreiten. Der Artikel legt Erkenntnisse zu den Vorgehensweisen von Tätern und zu Erfahrungs- und Verarbeitungsweisen von Betroffenen dar. Vor diesem Hintergrund zeigt er christliche Potentiale von achtsamer Begegnung und von biblischen Erzählungen zur Bewältigung von Gewalterfahrung auf.
Sexualität als Gegenstand und Horizont des Religionsunterrichts – eine vorläufige Annäherung
Authors: Schwarz Susanne
Published: April 2022

Während praktisch-theologisch und sexualethisch in den letzten Jahren sexualitätsbezogen Neuansätze erprobt werden, fokussieren sich religionsdidaktische Perspektiven im Wesentlichen auf die Pluralität sexueller Orientierungen. Gleichzeitig stehen jedoch skeptische Einwände optimistischen Einfällen gegenüber, sobald über die Not-Wendigkeit religiöser Bildung als Beitrag zur Sexualbildung nachgedacht wird. In aller Vorläufigkeit wird im vorliegenden Beitrag trotzdem eine religionsdidaktische Standortbestimmung gewagt und werden schließlich drei Dimensionen sexualitätsbezogener religiöser Bildung zur Diskussion gestellt.
Parallelkinematische Werkzeugmaschinen
Authors: Weck Manfred , Staimer Dirk
Published: April 2022

Zur Realisierung hochdynamischer und kostengünstiger Produktionssysteme werden vermehrt Werkzeugmaschinen mit parallelen Kinematiken untersucht. Diese versprechen im Vergleich zu konventionellen seriellen Strukturen Vorteile hinsichtlich der Steifigkeit, des dynamischen Verhaltens und der Herstellkosten. Die Arbeitsgenauigkeit paralleler Kinematiken hängt im wesentlichen davon ab, wie genau das in der Steuerung hinterlegte kinematische Modell das reale Maschinenverhalten abbildet. Vor diesem Hintergrund werden im vorliegenden Beitrag die Einflüsse unterschiedlicher Komponenten auf das Gesamtverhalten beschrieben und Verfahren zur Identifikation der Modellparameter diskutiert.
Gratbildung beim Tiefbohren
Authors: Heisel Uwe , Rothmund Johannes , Stortchak Michael , Eisseler Rocco
Published: April 2022

Der große Zeitaufwand beim Entgraten von Bauteilen mit tiefen Bohrungen sowie die hiermit verbundenen Mehrkosten führen zur Minimierung der Gratbildung. Untersuchungen beim Wendel- und Kurzlochbohren zeigen, daß sich die Gratbildung mit der Wahl des Werkstoffes und der Bearbeitungsparameter am deutlichsten beeinflussen läßt.
Variación del zooplancton en dos lagos urbanos ubicados en parques recreativos en el estado de Morelos, México
Authors: Gómez Márquez José Luis , Trejo Albarrán Roberto , Martínez Zavala Anayelli , Granados Ramírez José Guadalupe , Trujillo Jiménez Patricia
Published: April 2022

El presente estudio se realizó en dos lagos de importancia ecoturistica, el lago del Jardín Borda (JB) y el lago del Parque Alameda Solidaridad (PAS), en el municipio de Cuernavaca, Morelos, México. Se estableció una sola localidad en cada lago y se realizaron muestreos mensuales de noviembre 2014 a mayo 2015. La comunidad zooplanctónica estuvo constituida por 16 especies (12 rotíferos, dos copépodos y dos cladóceros): el lago JB registró solamente 10 especies y el lago PAS 11 especies, con siete especies comunes para ambos lagos. El análisis de redundancia (RDA) en JB pondera al zooplancton con el pH y la alcalinidad, mientras que en el lago PAS se relaciona el zooplancton con la temperatura del agua, oxígeno disuelto, transparencia y pH en la temporada de estiaje frío. La estructura de la comunidad se pudiera utilizar como bioindicador de la evaluación de la calidad del agua, mientras que sus cambios a largo plazo deben ser monitoreados.
Physical Therapist Management of Patients With Suspected or Confirmed Osteoporosis: A Clinical Practice Guideline From the Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy
Authors: Hartley Gregory W. , Roach Kathryn E. , Nithman Robert W. , Betz Sherri R. , Lindsey Carleen , Fuchs Robyn K. , Avin Keith G.
Published: April 2022

A clinical practice guideline on physical therapist management of patients with suspected or confirmed osteoporosis was developed by a volunteer guideline development group (GDG) that was appointed by the Academy of Geriatric Physical Therapy (APTA Geriatrics). The GDG consisted of an exercise physiologist and 6 physical therapists with clinical and methodological expertise. The guideline was based on a systematic review of existing clinical practice guidelines, followed by application of the ADAPTE methodological process described by Guidelines International Network for adapting guidelines for cultural and professional utility. The recommendations contained in this guideline are derived from the 2021 Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network (SIGN) document: Management of Osteoporosis and the Prevention of Fragility Fractures. These guidelines are intended to assist physical therapists practicing in the United States, and implementation in the context of the US health care system is discussed.
“And I Shall Hear, Though Soft You Tread Above Me”
Authors: Huang Ningning
Published: April 2022

Initially known as an Irish folk song, “Danny Boy” is incorporated by the Sinophone writer Hsien-yung Pai into his short story of the same title, depicting the life of diasporic queers in New York City during the AIDS pandemic. Instead of analyzing Pai’s story from a regional studies’ perspective, this paper discusses the queer rendition of “Danny Boy” in a multiethnic context, with Asian diasporic queers, poor Irish workers, and African Americans interacting with one another. Such a critique of homophobia and racism within minorities via music invites the reader to envision the possibility of claiming territories through singing, like the migrant birds. Building upon the pivotal point where sound studies, queer of color critiques, and animal studies interact, this paper argues that claiming a land through music instead of racial identities is to acknowledge singing and even speaking as resulting primarily from physical vibrations of bodies. Furthermore, such bodily vibrations convey a sense of physical intimacy beyond the symbolic marker of race and sexuality in the lyrics/language. Frightened by the radical potential embedded in music, Roshanak Kheshti points out that some white bourgeois listeners project rhythms and vibrations on African music, thus securing their own identities. Tracing back this logic, the paper reveals the queer physical intimacy as internal to a piece of Western music like “Danny Boy.” This way, those diasporic queers may claim New York City like migrant birds as they touch/vibrate with each other and the land via shared sound waves.
New Technologies between Law and Ethics: Some Reflections
Authors: Maceratini Arianna
Published: April 2022

This article proposes a reflection on the relationship between ethics, law and new technologies. The relevance of the debate is testified by numerous initiatives and measures, both European and international, which aim to offer answers, necessarily not definitive but evolving, to phenomena such as the development of the internet of things, the incessant extraction and use of big data and, more generally, advances in artificial intelligence and robotics. From this perspective, issues such as respect for privacy and human dignity are raised, to be balanced with the right to inform and be informed as a sign of an effectively shared knowledge. What emerges is the need for a deep critical consideration of the guarantee of individual and collective spheres of action, removed from the domination of market interests, in the affirmation of prevailing and non-negotiable rights. Equally indispensable is the critical attention given to the limits to be placed on human manipulation and alteration, and on the relationship between human being and machine. This assumes a particular ethical, legal and prescriptive meaning aimed at guaranteeing the pluralism of values and dialogue typical of every democratic society.
Criminalizing Cybercrimes: Italian and Polish Experiences
Authors: Filipkowski Wojciech , Picarella Lorenzo
Published: April 2022

The rapidly advancing development of technology has both positive and negative eff ects on society and its members. Moreover, legislation can be slow to catch up with reality. This also applies to any reaction of society to new forms of social deviance. There is typically a delay in the introduction of legislation which tries to give a legal framework to new technological developments. The authors have taken an exploratory approach, analysing changes in Italian and Polish penal law relating to cybercrime that have occurred in Italy and Poland so far. The timeline, pace, and scope of the processes of criminalization are presented for each country. Even though both legislators had and have the same goal, diff erences in the approach to achieving it are visible. The conclusions may lead to changes in the penal policies of both countries.
Industrial Breeding of Animals: Legal and Ethical Issues
Authors: Kruk Emil
Published: April 2022

The main purpose of this article is to discuss the basic legal and axiological problems that are associated with technological advances in animal rearing and breeding. The implementation of this research task required, first and foremost, the definition of the concept of ‘welfare’ and the identification of basic legal provisions determining the welfare of livestock in Poland. Moreover, the article addresses the ethical aspect of the problems associated with the implementation of modern animal welfare technologies, including the role of Christianity in shaping moral attitudes in this area. The paper is also an attempt to define the level of public awareness about the need to protect animals and the perception of problems related to the intensification of livestock production. The need to address the issue stems, above all, from the fact that human life and our attitudes towards animals are changing with the development of civilization. In any event, the changes that have taken place in this area over the past decades make the problem topical and lead to a reflection on the welfare of animals kept in industrial farming conditions. It is assumed that the research carried out will contribute to the development of an optimal legal model for the protection of livestock. Even the mere dissemination of the results will raise public awareness of the humanitarian protection of animals, which is one of the preconditions for further progress in civilization.
