On the issue of standards of proof in the practice of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation in bankruptcy cases
Authors: Platonova N. V.
Published: September 2024

The subject. Paragraph 3 of item 26 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Arbitration Court of the Russian Federation (SAC) dated June, 22, 2012 No. 35 "On some procedural issues related to consideration of bankruptcy cases" has been interpreted by doctrine and judicial practice as establishing a higher standard of proof for certain disputes considered in bankruptcy cases. However, the SAC does not mention any standards; the court's explanations are dedicated to assessing the reliability of evidence coming from a person interested in the favorable case outcome. Therefore, before concluding that the SAC introduced standards of proof, its approach should be analyzed from the perspective of concepts long known to Russian procedural law, namely: "credibility in evidence", "source of evidence".

The purpose of the study. To determine whether paragraph 3 of item 26 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the SAC dated June, 22, 2012 No. 35 establishes any standard of proof. Methodology. Methods of analysis and comparison based on practice of the SAC, of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation, of scientific research in the field of civil procedural law.

The main results of research and the field of their application. The approach of the SAC represents a specification of the universal thesis that credibility in evidence is linked to its source, in relation to bankruptcy cases. The addressed explanation cannot be perceived as introducing higher standards of proof for bankruptcy cases. Evidence is assessed based on properties of its source when resolving any civil law dispute.

Conclusion. The conclusion about existence of a fact cannot be made solely on the basis of evidence which source is a person interested in establishing this fact.

Published: September 2024

The issue of integrated scheduling and sequencing operation of unloading and loading equipment in container ports has been one of the most important issues concerning time efficiency. In addition, with the emergence of green harbor concepts, the inclusion of criteria for minimizing energy consumption, fuel and emission reduction are among the other issues that have been noticed by planners in the field of energy efficiency. Furthermore, due to the complexity and scope of activities of a container terminal, uncertainty in operational parameters such as transportation time, time of readiness and entry of work into the system and the velocity of the transportation fleet are inevitable in this operational environment. Therefore, this research with the aim of sharing trucks among loading and unloading equipment, proposes a robust multi-objective integer programming model for the synchronized scheduling of truck operations with other handling equipment to decrease the fuel consumption of trucks and the flow time of containers, considering the uncertainty in operational parameters as fuzzy numbers. To find the Pareto solutions for this model, the ε-Constraint technique is employed. Finally, the performance of the model in deterministic and uncertain modes is evaluated, compared and analyzed employing the inputs gathered from Shahid Rajaei port. The findings demonstrate that using this model will result in a substantial decrease in both fuel consumption and flow time of containers in comparison to the current procedure. Additionally, results will demonstrate the extent to which the terminal's fuel and time consumption will increase under conditions of uncertainty in operational parameters when the optimal plans derived from the robust model are implemented.

Authors: Neiroukh Nidal , Caglar Dilber
Published: September 2024

This study investigates how key audit matter (KAM) characteristics influence financial statement understandability and subsequent investor decision making. Using Structural Equation Modeling-Variance Based (SEM-VB) through Partial Least Squares (PLS), the analysis was conducted on a diverse global sample of investors from Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific, Africa, and Latin America. The results indicate that KAM accuracy, reliability, audit quality, and financial reporting quality significantly enhance perceived financial statement understandability, which in turn positively impacts investor judgments. The mediating role of understandability is confirmed, emphasizing its crucial influence on investors’ decisions. Additionally, an importance-performance map analysis (IPMA) identified KAM reliability and accuracy as the most critical factors. This study contributes to the theoretical and managerial understanding of audit practices and investor behavior.

Published: September 2024

Forest masses participate in the hydrological cycle and precipitation patterns. Therefore, the loss of these forest masses has significant implications for atmosphere-surface dynamics. The objective of this article is to determine the influence of forest cover loss on annual rainfall in the departments of Peru during the period 2013-2022. The methodology was quantitative, longitudinal non-experimental design, with panel data and a random-effects model was estimated. The results reveal a positive and statistically significant relationship between tree cover loss and total annual precipitation, specifically, a 1% increase in deforestation is related to an average increase of 0.186% in annual rainfall. The findings contrast with most previous evidence documenting reductions in precipitation due to deforestation, however, they are consistent with some studies. The research concluded that there is a positive relationship between the loss of forest cover and annual rainfall in the departments of Peru during the period studied.

The exponential expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) has fundamentally transformed the way people, machines, and gadgets communicate, resulting in unparalleled levels of interconnectedness. Nevertheless, the growth of IoT has also brought up notable security obstacles, requiring the creation of strong intrusion detection systems to safeguard IoT networks against hostile actions. This study investigates the utilization of fog computing architectures in conjunction with machine learning approaches to improve the security of the IoT. The UNSW-NB15 dataset, containing an extensive range of network traffic characteristics, is used as the basis for training and assessing the machine learning models. The study specifically applies and evaluates the performance of various models, including linear regression, Ridge classifier, SGD classifier, and ensemble learning. Furthermore, the findings indicate that these models are capable of accurately identifying intrusions, with success rates of 94%, 97%, 96.60%, and 96.50%, respectively. The Ridge Classifier demonstrates exceptional accuracy, highlighting its potential for effective implementation in IoT security frameworks. The results emphasize the efficacy of combining machine learning with fog computing to tackle the distinct security obstacles faced by IoT networks. In the future, our work will prioritize optimizing these models for real-time applications, improving their scalability, and investigating more advanced ensemble strategies to enhance detection accuracy. The project intends to enhance these areas to create a comprehensive and scalable intrusion detection system that can offer strong security solutions for the growing IoT environment. This will guarantee the integrity and dependability of linked devices and systems.
Optimizing contextual bandit hyperparameters: A dynamic transfer learning-based framework
Authors: Seifi Farshad , Niaki Seyed Taghi Akhavan
Published: September 2024

The stochastic contextual bandit problem, recognized for its effectiveness in navigating the classic exploration-exploitation dilemma through ongoing player-environment interactions, has found broad applications across various industries. This utility largely stems from the algorithms’ ability to accurately forecast reward functions and maintain an optimal balance between exploration and exploitation, contingent upon the precise selection and calibration of hyperparameters. However, the inherently dynamic and real-time nature of bandit environments significantly complicates hyperparameter tuning, rendering traditional offline methods inadequate. While specialized methods have been developed to overcome these challenges, they often face three primary issues: difficulty in adaptively learning hyperparameters in ever-changing environments, inability to simultaneously optimize multiple hyperparameters for complex models, and inefficiencies in data utilization and knowledge transfer from analogous tasks. To tackle these hurdles, this paper introduces an innovative transfer learning-based approach designed to harness past task knowledge for accelerated optimization and dynamically optimize multiple hyperparameters, making it well-suited for fluctuating environments. The method employs a dual Gaussian meta-model strategy—one for transfer learning and the other for assessing hyperparameters’ performance within the current task —enabling it to leverage insights from previous tasks while quickly adapting to new environmental changes. Furthermore, the framework’s meta-model-centric architecture enables simultaneous optimization of multiple hyperparameters. Experimental evaluations demonstrate that this approach markedly outperforms competing methods in scenarios with perturbations and exhibits superior performance in 70% of stationary cases while matching performance in the remaining 30%. This superiority in performance, coupled with its computational efficiency on par with existing alternatives, positions it as a superior and practical solution for optimizing hyperparameters in contextual bandit settings.
Performance evaluation of the NGHS metaheuristic as an alternative to the dynamic adaptive GA in the CREASE tool in SAS profile analysis of nanoparticulate system
Authors: Chávez Diego Felipe Ramírez , Muñoz Stibel Alejandro Camayo , Coral Diego Fernando Coral , Lozada Carlos Alberto Cobos
Published: September 2024

This research focused on intervening in the optimization algorithm used by the Computational Reverse-Engineering Analysis for Scattering Experiments (CREASE) tool to analyze small-angle scattering (SAS) profiles using the Rigid-Body model. CREASE uses the genetic algorithm (GA) with dynamic adaptation as its optimization algorithm. The aim is to evaluate the performance of CREASE by replacing the GA with a Harmony Search (HS)-based metaheuristic, specifically the Nobel Global Harmony Search (NGHS), in the analysis of SAS profiles of low-concentration solutions vesicles-assembled amphiphilic macromolecules. Results showed that NGHS achieved similar accuracy to GA but with higher efficiency, achieving similar quality solutions with only one-sixth, and in some cases one-tenth, the number of fitness function evaluations used by GA. Besides, CREASE-NGHS achieved SAS profile analysis convergence with less than half the number of fitness function evaluations, saving computational resources and facilitating a more complete analysis. In addition, NGHS addressed some shortcomings of the GA optimization process and facilitated its use and adaptation to distinct types of samples for users with little experience in optimization.

For the simultaneous estimation of Itraconazole (ITZ) and Terbinafine hydrochloride (TBF HCl) in tablet dosage form, a simple, novel, cost effective and rapid RP-HPLC method was developed. Method development becomes quick, accurate, sensitive, and robust by using quality by design (QbD). RP-HPLC was performed using a C18 (agilent, 4.6 x 250mm, 5µm particle size) column. Methanol and 0.05% OPA (pH 3.5) was used as mobile phase in 84:16 ratio. The analysis was conducted in gradient mode with a flow rate of 0.95mL/min. Detection wavelength was set at 270nm. Retention time for TBF and ITZ was at 2.93 and 6.96min, respectively. The accuracy, precision, repeatability, linearity, LOD, LOQ and robustness parameters have been validated as per the ICH Q2 (R1) guideline: Validation of analytical procedures–text and methodology. Values for LOD and LOQ were found to be 0.131 and 0.398µg/mL and 0.350 and 1.061µg/mL respectively for ITZ and TBF HCl. Thus, the technique can be employed for regular QC analysis of bulk ITZ and TBF HCl and their pharmaceutical formulations. Degradative stress conditions like acid, base, neutral, oxidation applied and degradations were studied.

Computational Molecular Docking Analysis of Six Nitrogen-containing Heterocyclic compounds from a Chemical Database: Exploring their Potential as Anti-Alzheimer's agents and Validation through Redocking Studies
Authors: Kurian Thomas
Published: September 2024

Approximately 4.6 million individuals worldwide are affected by Alzheimer's disease, a prevalent neurodegenerative disorder. The disease is caused by beta-amyloid buildup, which forms insoluble plaques in the brain. This triggers a series of secondary events within the "amyloid cascade," which includes protein tau hyperphosphorylation, inflammation, oxidation, and excitotoxicity, ultimately leading to the activation of apoptosis. A study compared the potential anti-Alzheimer's activity of heterocyclic nitrogen-containing compounds from a database with pyrimidine, triazole, or pyrrolidine nuclei known to exhibit activity against neurodegeneration. The compounds (3r,4s)-1-benzyl-3-nitro-4-phenylpyrrolidine, 5-bromo-1-[(2r,4s,5r)-4-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl)oxolan-2-yl]pyrimidine-2,4-dione, 6-[4-(2-piperidin-1-ylethoxy)phenyl]-3-pyridin-4-ylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, 6-(4-methoxyphenyl)-3-pyridin-4-ylpyrazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine, 4-(5-pyridin-4-yl-1h-1,2,4-triazol-3-yl)pyridine-2-carbonitrile, and 5-pyridin-4-yl-1,2-dihydro-1,2,4-triazole-3-thione were tested in silico against the receptor Donepezil complexed with its target acetylcholinesterase (1EVE). PyRX Docking and Auto Dock 4 were used in the study. The comparative analysis of docking results revealed that (3r,4s)-1-benzyl-3-nitro-4-phenylpyrrolidine and 5-bromo-1-[(2r,4s,5r)-4-hydroxy-5-(hydroxymethyl) oxolan-2-yl] pyrimidine-2,4-dione had favorable binding affinities, indicating potential anti-cholinesterase activity. A redocking study used Ligand Donepezil to confirm the binding modes and test the method's validity. The study also included a comparative analysis of results obtained through two different docking software.

Drugs called central nervous system (CNS) stimulants hasten both mental and physical functions. Narcolepsy and new born apnea are two disorders characterised by a lack of adrenergic stimulation that are treated with central nervous system stimulants. Moreover, the paradoxical effects of dextroamphetamine sulphate (Dexedrine) and methylphenidate (Ritalin) on attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder are invoked to justify their use (ADHD). The majority of CNS stimulants mimic the classic "fight or flight" condition linked to sympathetic nervous system activation and are chemically comparable to the neurohormone norepinephrine. The xanthines, including theophylline, and caffeine are more intimately connected to one another. A few more CNS stimulant class members do not belong to any particular chemical classes. A detailed analysis of CNS stimulant medications, their mechanisms of action, and in vivo CNS stimulant models is provided in the review on central nervous system stimulants.

Authors: Oroh Merari Teresa , Palar Wimsje R. , Pangemanan Nontje S.
Published: September 2024

This study aims to answer two main problems. First, how do members of youth organizations in Taraitak Satu Village communicate through violations of the principles of linguistic politeness? Second, to what extent do young people in Taraitak Satu Village deviate from the principles of linguistic politeness in their social and professional interactions? This study uses a qualitative approach with free listening and listening (SBLC) as the main method of data collection, supported by note-taking as a secondary method. Data analysis refers to the referential approach based on the SPEAKING component of speech. The results revealed that youth in Taraitak Satu Village often use impolite language with intentions such as correcting, inciting, demeaning, mocking, ignoring, expelling, forcing, belittling, rejecting, and depriving others of their rights. These violations of language politeness norms include various aspects, such as tact, generosity, acceptance, humility, compatibility, and sympathy. The negative impact of these violations of linguistic politeness principles is not only felt by the youth individually, but also by their youth association groups. When words are delivered in a way that hurts the feelings of others, this can lead to controversy, hostility, dampen enthusiasm for group activities, and cause discord. This research is expected to contribute to efforts to preserve the Tontemboan language in the Makela'i dialect and provide a basis for strengthening the community to adhere to the principles of language politeness. Thus, this research is an important step to maintain the sustainability and quality of local languages in Taraitak Satu Village.

Published: September 2024

Todas las empresas productivas tienen unidades o departamentos que generan servicios a la producción, unas en mayor proporción que otras; estos servicios brindados generan costos, y aunque en ocasiones no se considera al método más adecuado a utilizar, lo más normal y fácil es hacer un prorrateo, obviando cualquier técnica o método que permita clasificar, distribuir y registrar correctamente de tal manera que se aproxime a calcular el costo unitario de un producto lo más exacto posible.
En teoría existen métodos de distribución de los costos generados por los departamentos de servicios, unos más fácil de aplicación que los otros; trátese del método directo, aunque éste tiene sus limitantes, puede considerarse más próximo a la exactitud el método escalonado y el método recíproco o también llamado algebraico.
El método algebraico como un medio para distribuir los costos generados por los departamentos de servicios presenta algunas limitaciones, es la complejidad por el hecho de desarrollar ecuaciones matemáticas. Este método está diseñado únicamente para realizarlo con dos departamentos; por tal razón, se hace una propuesta para aplicarlo a tres departamentos de servicios mediante ecuaciones lineales, en este caso no se resuelve por el método sustitución, para mayor facilidad se realiza por el método de eliminación.

Authors: Tseung Yik Wong , Peng Ziting , Xie Binyu
Published: September 2024

In recent years, one of the most noteworthy events experienced by the Indian economy is the large-scale withdrawal of foreign capital. In 2023, a total of 2,783 foreign enterprises exited the Indian market, with divested capital aggregating to 2 trillion rupees. While foreign direct investment (FDI) has consequently increased on a territorial basis, there has been a steep decline in Indiaʼs FDI inflows to USD$28.163 billion in 2023 from its peak of USD$64.072 billion in 2020. This indicates some relationship between territorial rise or fall and regional factors. This article delves into the collapse of foreign capital in India, exploring the causes and offering benchmarks on how to address these circumstances. The analysis will cover various perspectives, including infrastructure development in India, lack of policy clarity for foreign investors, poor legal conditions, and socio-political factors, to identify the main reasons behind the cessation of foreign investments. Additionally, this article aims to provide both theoretical and practical guidance for formulating Indiaʼs future economic policies by comparing the flow of investment into India with other emerging economies like China.

Financial education is crucial for empowering individuals with the knowledge needed to make sound financial decisions, capitalize on market opportunities, and contribute to economic development. In response to Filipinos’ low financial literacy level, the government has implemented various policies, including the Department of Education’s Financial Education Policy (FEP). This policy aims to enhance financial literacy among students, teachers, and staff through capacity building and integrating financial education into the curriculum. This study focuses on assessing the challenges of and opportunities for the effective implementation of FEP in selected junior high schools in the Philippines. Interviews were conducted with experts, including the curriculum developer, schools district superintendent, curriculum and implementation division chief, education program supervisors, principals, and teachers. The results highlighted common challenges, including poor communication channels, insufficient resources, lack of a monitoring system and implementation plan, and the integration of multiple policies aside from FEP. Opportunities identified were potential collaboration with external institutions and establishing monitoring mechanisms. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of clear communication strategies, adequate resources, implementation plans, and a monitoring system for the effective implementation of the FEP. Future research may include other key officials involved in FEP implementation for more insights and robust recommendations.

This paper deals with the growth, convergence, divergence and inequalities in the mountainous states of India. The data used in this paper was collected from the RBI site, which covers two decades – the first from 2000-01 to 2010-11 and the second from 2011-12 to 2021-22. By analyzing the data, this study attempted to address the compound annual growth rates with regression equation and concluded that, Meghalaya has the lowest and Sikkim has the highest net state domestic product growth rate for the entire time period (2000-01 to 2021-22). In mountainous states, the average growth rate of per capita net state domestic product declined from 6.13 percent in 2000-01/2010-11 to 4.40 percent in 2011-12/2021-22. Higher per capita net state domestic product growth rates were estimated for Himachal Pradesh, Mizoram, Sikkim, Tripura and Uttarakhand; when compared to the average growth rate for the mountainous states and India as a whole. Over the period 2000-01/2010-11 to 2011-12/2021-22, the states with the highest compound annual growth rates on per capita net state domestic product were Assam and Mizoram. In a detailed analysis of income inequality, the gini coefficient increased from 0.122 to 0.263 during 2000-01 to 2021-22 and the coefficient of variation also showed an increase. The findings revealed that there was a significant presence of σ - divergence, β - divergence and α - divergence in the mountainous states in the first, second decades and throughout the 21st century.

O crescimento populacional e a expansão econômica global têm impulsionado o desenvolvimento da indústria têxtil, que é um dos segmentos industriais mais poluentes em termos de volume e composição de efluentes. Esses efluentes contêm uma vasta gama de poluentes, incluindo corantes sintéticos, que são altamente tóxicos, difíceis de degradar e/ou serem removidos pelos métodos de tratamento convencionais. A poluição resultante impacta severamente os ecossistemas aquáticos, reduzindo a penetração de luz e a oxigenação da água, afetando a vida aquática. Como resposta a este problema, diversos tratamentos, como os Processos Oxidativos Avançados (POA’s) e técnicas de adsorção, têm sido estudados e aplicados para a remoção de corantes residuais dos efluentes têxteis. Os POA’s, especialmente o processo Fenton, se destacam pela geração de radicais hidroxila, capazes de oxidar poluentes orgânicos complexos. A adsorção, por sua vez, é um método complementar que utiliza materiais com alta área superficial, como carvões e nanopartículas magnéticas de ferro (NPM-Fe), para capturar e remover poluentes do meio aquoso. Após as sínteses das NPM-Fe e do carvão advindo da biomassa do cajá (Spondias Monbim L.), o estudo investigou a eficiência da combinação dos métodos oxidação avançada e adsorção à remoção do corante (modelo de contaminante) azul de metileno (AM). Os resultados obtidos evidenciaram a eficiência dos materiais sintetizados, indicando que estes podem vir a se constituir em fontes eficientes e de baixo custo na remoção de contaminantes com estrutura similar ao AM, presentes em efluentes industriais têxteis.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo a avaliação do comportamento dinâmico de um pórtico metálico quando submetido a um impulso, comparando os resultados obtidos por meio de um ensaio empírico com aqueles gerados pelo método de elementos finitos, utilizando o software Ansys. O foco da análise é a obtenção das frequências naturais e modos de vibração de um pórtico metálico. Para isso, o estudo se divide em duas abordagens: a análise numérica, realizada por meio da modelagem via método dos elementos finitos através do software Ansys, e a análise experimental, que envolve a realização de ensaios físicos diretamente sobre o pórtico. Na abordagem numérica, a estrutura foi modelada através do método dos elementos finitos com a finalidade de simular o comportamento dinâmico do pórtico. Na abordagem experimental, foram realizados ensaios físicos no pórtico, aplicando-se métodos de análise modal. Esses métodos permitem, a partir dos sinais medidos, identificar as frequências naturais e modos de vibração da estrutura. A comparação entre os dados obtidos experimentalmente e os resultados do software Ansys é essencial para validação dos dados, além da identificação de eventuais discrepâncias e refinio da análise teórica, fornecendo uma visão mais precisa sobre o comportamento dinâmico da estrutura. Com base nos resultados experimentais, o método RFP se destacou como o mais adequado para a análise modal desta estrutura, fornecendo resultados precisos e consistentes. No entanto, a escolha do método de análise modal depende de vários fatores, como o tipo de estrutura, o nível de detalhe exigido, e as condições de excitação aplicadas

RESUMO
As prevalências de depressão e ansiedade são elevadas entre universitários brasileiros. Este estudo avaliou a prevalência e os fatores associados aos sintomas sugestivos de depressão (SSDs) e de ansiedade (SSAs) entre servidores e estudantes de uma Universidade Federal brasileira no retorno das atividades presenciais após o isolamento social devido a pandemia de Covid-19. Utilizou-se um questionário autoaplicável, hospedado no Google Forms, com dados sociodemográficos, de hábitos de vida e acadêmicos, somado aos Inventários de Depressão e Ansiedade de Beck (BDI e BAI). Regressões de Poisson bivariadas e multivariadas investigaram os fatores associados. Dentre 354 participantes, 45,8% apresentaram SSDs e 42,4%, SSAs, enquanto entre estudantes especificamente, as respectivas prevalências foram de 52,3% e 48,8%. Apenas trabalhar e práticas de lazer ou integrativas foram fatores protetores contra SSDs e SSAs, respectivamente. Sexo feminino, menor renda, tabagismo e má qualidade de sono foram fatores de risco para ambos os transtornos. Os dados encontrados neste estudo reforçam a necessidade da busca por estratégias para tornar o ambiente universitário mais acolhedor e preparado para lidar com essa preocupante realidade. Mais estudos são necessários para identificar as variáveis acadêmicas associadas ao aumento significativo da prevalência de sintomas de depressão e ansiedade entre estudantes universitários.
