Exploring Legal Frameworks and Ethical Boundaries: A Comparative Analysis of Social Work and Philanthropy in Supporting Vulnerable Populations
Authors: Adegbite Aderonke E.
Published: February 2025

In the pursuit of social justice and human well-being, two important forces drive societal change: social work and philanthropy. Both share a common goal of improving the lives of individuals and communities, yet their approaches, legal frameworks, and methods differ significantly. While social work is grounded in professional ethics and legal mandates, philanthropy is often seen as voluntary charitable giving or resource distribution. Understanding these differences is essential for both legal and social systems, as they shape the ways in which assistance is provided to those in need. This paper seeks to examine the legal distinctions between social work and philanthropy, analyzing how each operates within its legal framework and contributes to societal well-being. The overlap between these fields can create challenges in defining the boundaries of legal accountability, professional practice, and ethical responsibilities within these domains. give this abstract a title. By understanding these distinctions, the paper intends to clarify how each field functions legally and how they complement each other in promoting social welfare. This paper will examine the legal frameworks, regulatory bodies and professional standards that apply to social workers versus philanthropists, and explore the ethical responsibilities and legal accountability of both social work professionals and philanthropic organizations. It will also delve into the impact of these fields on social change and individual well-being from a legal perspective, providing recommendations for legal improvements to enhance the efficacy and accountability of both fields. This study will employ a comparative legal analysis, examining relevant laws, regulations, and professional codes of ethics for both social work and philanthropy. Secondary data, such as academic articles, legal texts, and reports from regulatory bodies, will be analyzed to support the discussion. By investigating these areas, this paper will contribute to a deeper understanding of how social work and philanthropy function within legal contexts and their respective roles in supporting vulnerable populations.

Published: February 2025

Bilateral clavicle fractures are rare, with an overall incidence of 0.43%. Various treatment methods exist, but no consensus has been reached. We report a case of a 51-year-old male patient with bilateral midshaft clavicle fractures treated with minimally invasive Osteosynthesis. After 14 months of follow-up, bone healing and functional recovery were excellent. In conclusion, minimally invasive fixation is a viable alternative treatment for this fracture type, complementing established methods. The selection of a suitable minimally invasive fixation device should be individualized for each fracture type.
Ultrastructural changes in the common carotid artery in terms of age and gender-related in Rat model
Authors: Ünlükal Nejat
Published: February 2025

Sex-related differences were investigated in ultrastructural modifications that occur with ageing in the rat carotid artery in the study. As ageing impacts every system and organ within the human body, it also impacts the circulatory system. The circulatory system serves various functions in the body such as nourishing organs and tissues, oxygenating and eliminating toxic substances. A condition like atherosclerosis or thrombosis in the circulatory system results in permanent harm to structures like the central nervous system, heart and even fatality. Although the pathologies observed in the vessels are commonly attributed to the generation of atheromas, it has been recognised in recent years that changes in the tunica intima and tunica media lead to impaired vascular function without the formation of atheromas. Despite the long-standing belief that women have a advantage in age-related cardiovascular diseases, there has been no ultrastructural examination to support this theory. We explored the sex-related discrepancies in the ultrastructural modifications produced by aging in the carotid artery. A total of 28 Sprague-Dawley rats, 14 males and 14 females, were planned to be used in the study. Of these 28 rats, 4 females and 4 males was constitute the control group. The rats in the control group was approximately 10 weeks old, and the rats in the experimental group, which was represent the aged group, was 19 weeks old. All animals in the study were anaesthetised and then sacrificed by removal of the heart. The right and left common carotid arteries were removed from the sacrificed animals. Collected vessels prepared for Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) examination. For each animal, at least four TEM images were taken from four different sections from the same block. As a result, the impact of vascular ageing manifested as apoptosis and age-related dysfunction in endothelial cells, thickening of the subendothelial layer, elastin deterioration, collagen deposition in the matrix, and degradation of the internal elastic lamina. Notably, vascular degeneration is more severe in men than in women. It is clear that the endothelium is subject to accumulated damage with age. We believe that the dissimilarity between males and females is attributed to the estrogen’s proliferative and anti-inflammatory impact.

Published: February 2025

Rennet is a critical element that allows the coagulation of milk caseins, the basic process of producing cheese. Traditional cheeses (Traditional Agri-food Products - PAT) are generally produced using artisanal animal rennet. The type of rennet used for cheese making, jointly with several other factors, influences the flavor and aroma of dairy products. In this study, we focused exclusively on rennet’s role in developing aromas and flavors, highlighting different tastes depending on the type of rennet used in cheesemaking. Buffalo milk was used to produce cheeses through a single cheesemaking session, where the only difference was the rennet used: commercial calf or artisanal lamb. Cheeses were stored and analyzed monthly at T0, T30, T60, and T90. Microbiota characterization (NGS technology) was performed on all samples, jointly with microbiological and sensory analysis (ISO 11035:1994). The microbiological analysis highlighted differences mainly in quantifying total bacteria count and acid lactic bacteria at T0, significantly higher in cheeses from calf rennet. Furthermore, at T60, a general reduction of all microbiological parameters in cheese based on lamb rennet was observed. The Microbiota analysis showed significant microbiological changes during the seasoning in the same product (α diversity) and between the two products obtained from industrial and artisanal rennet (β diversity). Regarding the sensory analysis, all the judges evaluated the cheeses based on lamb rennet as more appreciable due to their intense flavors and aroma. The study results confirmed the role of lamb rennet in developing flavor in buffalo cheese and, consequently, suggests a larger use of this rennet to obtain cheeses with a particular and typical taste based on buffalo milk.
The buffalo supply chain in northeast of Brazil
Authors: Silva Pessoa Ricardo Alexandre , Romani de Campos Luis Henrique
Published: February 2025

Studies and analyses of supply chains make it possible to assess the different approaches such as technologies ,public and private policies, business strategies, and new arrangements and to identify the issues such as improved performance and competitiveness. The objective of this work was to analyze the buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) production chain and the contribution of Porter’s Five competitive forces to the buffalo production chain in Northeast Brazil. For that, research was carried out through information obtained in the literature. Interviews and questionnaires were applied to the companies involved in the activity. It was observed that the main limiting factor on the buffalo chain in Northeast Brazil is the need for more information about the species, which makes it difficult for a more accurate analysis. Concerning daily activity, the production chain is well organized. Five small and medium-sized dairies process buffalo milk in the region. Other small-scale enterprises are also found. Regarding buffalo breeding for meat, the numbers associated with the activity in Northeast Brazil need to be clarified since buffalo meat is sold as beef, confusing the buffalo herd with the bovine herd. The commercialization of the buffalo carcass as bovine is the main factor responsible for this condition. Buffalo meat needs to be marketed as buffalo meat for the activity to be recognized. The use of Porter’s Five Forces efficiently describes the interconnected processes associated with the buffalo production chain in Northeast Brazil and contributes to improving the chain.

Authors: Sanjay Kumar Tiwari  , Vijay Kumar Tiwari
Published: February 2025

Consciousness, as a fundamental aspect of human experience, has been a subject of profound inquiry across philosophy, culture, and the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI). This paper explores the multifaceted nature of consciousness as a nexus where these domains intersect. By examining philosophical theories of consciousness, cultural interpretations of self-awareness, and the implications of AI advancements, the study addresses the challenges of defining consciousness, its diverse cultural interpretations, and the ethical and technical questions surrounding its replication or simulation in machines. The paper argues that consciousness is not only a philosophical puzzle but also a cultural construct and a technological frontier, with significant implications for our understanding of humanity and the future of intelligent systems. Through an interdisciplinary lens, this analysis highlights the need for continued dialogue between philosophy, culture, and AI research to navigate the complexities of consciousness in an increasingly technologically driven world.

Chamaecytisus podolicus (Błocki) Klask. (Fabaceae) is a rare Podolian endemic species, known from Ukraine and Moldova. The species is listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine with the conservation status ‘vulnerable’ and is also included in international documents. According to the classification of life forms by Raunkier, the species is woody chamaephyte, according to the classification of types of biomorphs by Serebryakov belongs to the division of woody plants, type semi-woody shrub with a developed above-ground and underground shoot system. Plants of the species grow on limestone-rocky, meadow-steppe slopes, karst depressions, noted in the group association Festucion valesiacae Klika 1931 of the class Festuco–Brometea Br.-Bl. et Tx. ex Soó 1947. The results of studies of the state of a local populations of Ch. podolicus in natural condition, in particular in locus classicus of the species (Probabyn, Ivano-Frankivsk Оblast and Kadubivtsi, Chernivtsi Оblast, Ukraine) and in culture (Botanical Garden of the Podolian Agro-Technical University, Kamianets-Podilskyi, Khmelnytskyi Оblast) carried out in 2013–2023 are presented. The ontogenetic states and ontogenetic structure of the species are determined. For the first time for the species, four ontogenetic periods (latent, pregenerative, generative, and postgenerative) and 10 ontogenetic states of plants (seeds; seedlings; juvenile, immature, virginal, generative (g1–g3), subsenile, and senile) of Ch. рodolicus are described. Plants of the studied species do not form underground shoots (xylorhizomes), which is why it differs primarily from Ch. albus (Hacq.) Rothm. in terms of features of ontomorphogenesis. It was established that the density of different age individuals of the species in the vicinity of the village of Probabyn consists from single and small groups (15–18 each) to 30 ind./m2, and in the vicinity of the village of Kadubivtsi from single plants and groups up to 47–52 ind./m2. It was established that the studies local populations of the species are characterised, in general, by complete age composition. The ontogenetic age spectra of the species are left-skewed.
The diversity of fish of Atlantic–Mediterranean origin in marine waters of the Azov–Black Sea basin within the borders of Ukraine
Authors:   National Museum of Natural History, NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv, Ukraine), Manilo Leonid
Published: February 2025

The article is a continuation of a series of our previous works on alien fish species of Atlantic–Mediterranean origin over the past 50 years in the Azov–Black Sea basin within the waters of Ukraine. The most numerous in terms of the number of species of this group is the goby family. Next in numbers are the families of combtooth blennies, porgies, pipefishes, wrasses, mullets, and herrings. Other families in the waters of Ukraine are represented by 1 to 3 species of fish. There is a clear trend of reduction in the number of taxa from the waters of the Crimea to the north-western part of the Black Sea (NWBS) and the Sea of Azov. The maximum species richness of fish of Atlantic–Mediterranean origin is observed in the Crimean waters (113 species), and the taxonomic richness of the group in this area is 262 taxa. In the waters of the NWBS, species richness is 80, while taxonomic richness decreases by 25.0% to 203 taxa. In the Sea of Azov, there is a sharp decrease in species richness to 37; taxonomic richness is reduced by two times (107 taxa). The most similar to the ichthyofauna of the Black Sea of Atlantic–Mediterranean origin was the ichthyofauna of the Crimean waters (0.71). Faunas of the Crimea and NWBS are followed (0.68). The smallest coefficients of similarity have the ichthyofauna of the Azov and Black seas (0.23) and between the Azov and Crimean waters (0.33). Since the 1970s, 30 alien fish species of Atlantic–Mediterranean origin, belonging to 26 genera, 15 families, and 8 orders, have been discovered in the marine waters of Ukraine. Among them, species whose appearance is associated with the natural process of mediterranisation predominate (25 species, 83.3%). Species that entered with the help of anthropogenic factors accounted for 6.7%, while the share of species with unspecified vectors of introduction was 10.0%. In the waters of the Crimea and in the NWBS, there is a significant prevalence of species, the appearance of which is the result of mediterranisation. The aliens of the Sea of Azov belong to the accidental species, which were previously common in the Black Sea and expanded their range when salty Black Sea waters entered through the Kerch Strait as a result of the reduction of the flow of the Don and Kuban rivers, caused mainly by anthropogenic factors. In recent years, significant changes have taken place in the marine waters of Ukraine. The most significant changes occurred in the Crimea, where this percentage is 30.1 %; 24.3 % in the Sea of Azov, and 15.0 % in the waters of the NWBS.
Bathymetry modelling of the eastern Tendrivska Bay (Ukraine) using Sentinel-2 remote sensing data
Authors:   Black Sea Biosphere Reserve, NAS of Ukraine (Hola Prystan, Ukraine), Moskalenko Yurii
Published: February 2025

The aim of the study was to create a bathymetric model of the eastern Tendrivska Bay based on Sentinel-2 remote sensing data. For this purpose, the method of log-transformed spectral band ratios was used. Initially, cloud-free Sentinel-2 scenes from 28 dates in 2015–2018 were selected for the study. The preliminary processing of remote sensing data included atmospheric correction using the DSF (Dark Spectrum Fitting) algorithm, clipping to the region of interest, and merging identical visible spectrum bands from two adjacent tiles that fully covered the eastern Tendrivska Bay. High-frequency noise was removed by applying a 7x7 pixel window median filter to each band. In the final stage of remote sensing data preparation, the log-transformed spectral band ratios were calculated and exported to raster files using a mask that clipped the final images to the bay boundaries. The study calculated and evaluated three types of models: BG (blue to green bands log-ratio), BR (blue to red bands log-ratio), and GR (green to red bands log-ratio). Field depth measurements from 79 sites were used to train the models through regression analysis. Model validation was performed using multiple k-fold cross-validation. The BR and GR models showed the best results for bathymetric modeling of the eastern Tendrivska Bay. In contrast, BG models were unsuitable due to their low accuracy. The final bathymetric model of the eastern Tendrivska Bay was obtained by averaging 12 individual models (7 BR and 5 GR models) that showed the best results in the regression analysis. The spatial variation of the model’s vertical accuracy, assessed by the standard deviation raster, indicated that vertical accuracy was slightly lower for relatively deep areas and areas with intensive water dynamics. This is due to the greater variability in water transparency in such areas. Overall, the obtained bathymetric model is characterised by high spatial resolution and vertical accuracy, making it suitable for geomorphological studies. It will also be useful as a spatial variable for modeling the distribution of aquatic organisms and waterfowl in the bay using machine learning methods. The experience of creating a bathymetric model for the eastern Tendrivska Bay showed that this method is quite simple and accessible, allowing it to be recommended for modelling the seabed topography of other shallow water bodies.

Published: February 2025

The article examines the bird fauna of the left-bank part of the city of Dnipro, including parks, forest parks, squares, cemeteries, and other green areas as key elements of the urban landscape. The study covered eight green zones with varying degrees of anthropogenic transformation, a total area of 479.08 hectares, where route surveys were conducted over a total distance of 34.73 km. The article provides an analysis of the species composition and abundance of birds, as well as an assessment of their activity in various habitat types. In total, the activity of 58 bird species belonging to 14 orders was recorded during the study, demonstrating significant taxonomic and ecological diversity. The most numerous order was Passeriformes represented by 33 species (57% of the total). The Lomivskyi Forest Park demonstrated the highest ecological value, with 181 registered bird individuals belonging to 34 species. The uniqueness of this area is attributed to a combination of diverse habitats, the presence of multi-tiered vegetation, and a low level of urbanisation. The Obukhiv Forest Park showed the lowest bird abundance (77 registrations), explained by the sparsity of vegetation cover, the dominance of Scots pine, and the absence of dense understorey required by many species. Nesting biomorphs of birds were analysed separately, reflecting the species’ adaptive capabilities to environmental conditions. The most numerous biomorphs were ‘anthropogenic-substrate’ (364 registrations) and ‘cavity-nesting-anthropogenic-substrate’ (293 registrations), highlighting the high adaptability of synanthropic and partially forest-dwelling species to using artificial structures for nesting. Birds of the ‘tree-crown’ biomorph also showed significant activity (179 registrations), underscoring the importance of tree plantations, particularly old trees with cavities, for supporting the bird fauna. Rare biomorphs include ‘burrow’ and ‘coastal’ (2 registrations each), indicating a lack of natural conditions such as burrows, coastal zones, or floating vegetation necessary for these species. The obtained results allow identifying the key factors influencing the avifauna in urbanised environments. The study findings can be used to enhance the ecological stability of urban areas, improve green zone planning, and preserve biodiversity.

Zoological collections concentrated in museums play an important role in the study of amphibians, their distribution and conservation. In Lviv, the zoological collection was formed at the Lviv University before 1784. Unfortunately, detailed descriptions of this collection have not been preserved. Currently, the oldest part of the amphibian collection housed at the Zoological Museum of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv consists of exhibited specimens, which were collected from different parts of the world during the second part of the 19th century. Materials stored in the scientific collections started to be collected somewhat later, firs as duplicates of the main, exhibited specimens in case of their loss or colour fading, and only in the 1990s as a scientific material. In total, the amphibian collection comprises almost 600 specimens housed as more than 360 storage units that belong to more than 65 species of the world’s fauna from 20 families and 2 orders: Caudata (22 species) and Anura (44 species). The amphibian collection is mostly represented by wet specimens fixed with formalin or alcohol and only few specimens are preserved as mummies. Most of the exhibits that represent the fauna of Ukraine were collected in the past 15–20 years in Lviv, Volyn, Zakarpattia, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytskyi, Kherson, and Donetsk oblasts of Ukraine. The most valuable specimens in the museum’s amphibian collections are those of 10 species that have high conservation status according the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, 2022-2: Atelopus ignescens, Ranodon sibiricus, Ambystoma mexicanum, Andrias japonicus, Proteus anguinus, Cynops ensicauda, Euproctus platycephalus, Calyptocephalella gayi, Adenomus kelaartii, and Pleurodeles waltl. Geographically, the collection specimens came from the territory of five continents and no less than 21 countries of the world, although it represents only 0.7% of the world’s amphibian diversity. Sixty-three specimens of seven species listed in the Red List of Ukraine (2021) are preserved in the museum collections, including Salamandra salamandra, Triturus cristatus, Ichthyosaura alpestris, Lissotriton montandoni, Epidalea calamita, Bombina variegata, and Rana dalmatina.

Published: February 2025

Chronic periodontitis is one of the most prevalent oral conditions in the world (1), characterized by the destruction of the periodontium and resulting in alveolar bone resorption (2). Periodontitis is the result of complex interrelationships between infectious agents such as bacteria, host, and environmental factors (3,4,5), which play a major etiological role and cause both direct as well as host-mediated tissue injury (6). The disease is caused by mixed bacterial infections, primarily involving a limited number of anaerobic microbiota in the subgingival region which leads to the breakdown of supporting structures of the teeth (7, 8).

Authors: Sarravanaprabhu A.M. , Gunasekaran M.
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the dynamic interactions among four species within an ecological framework. The population model describes the cooperative dynamics between two preys and two predators as these species cooperate to fulfill various needs, including food requirements and shelter. Simultaneously, interspecific predation may emerge as distinct species compete for survival within the same habitat. The mathematical model comprises a set of nonlinear differential equations for each prey and predator. A comprehensive exploration of feasible equilibrium positions is undertaken to assess species stability at various stages, considering factors such as positivity and boundedness. Furthermore, the model employs the Routh-Hurwitz Criterion and Lyapunov function to investigate both local and global coexistence states of the species.

The purpose of the study was to determine the quality of relational coordination of the one-stop integrated service team in Maybrat Regency and analyse the relationship between the quality of relational coordination performance and the quality of team elements which include: longevity, clarity of team boundaries, mutual trust, appreciation or recognition. The research was conducted at the Office of Investment and One-Stop Integrated Services (Case Study in Maybrat Regency, Southwest Papua Province). The population of this study is all individuals (individuals) whose characteristics are involved in the sense of participating and interacting directly with other participants in the licensing service work process in the one-stop integrated service team using the census method. Data collection techniques through census techniques (N = 30), with interview methods guided by Likert interval scale structured questionnaire instruments, as well as observation support and document review using SPSS Ver.-23 software program. The analysis results show that the team's current relational coordination performance index is good (weighted mean score 3.66, IKR = 73.2). Relational coordination performance is highly correlated with team elements (r = 855 Sig. 0.001). Team element variables together can explain relational coordination performance by 77 per cent. Two team elements, viz: longevity and mutual trust have significant contributions respectively with t-count = 5.89 at Sig level 0.001 and t-count = 2.585 at Sig level. 0,02. While the other two team elements: clarity of team boundaries and reward or recognition have a positive correlation, but do not have a significant contribution to relational coordination performance.
The implications of this research suggest that in order to improve relational coordination performance, it is necessary to periodically carry out team performance evaluations which are followed up by holding socialisation or training for team members at the same time, financial and non-financial rewards are given to team members according to their respective performance. It is also suggested that in the employee rotation policy, the stability of team members needs to be considered.
