Evaluation model of industrial engineering internship programs by the hybrid fuzzy Dematel-Vikor method
Authors: Amorim Santos Paulo Henrique , Sotsek Ramos Nicolle Christine
Published: June 2024

Purpose – The internship is an activity that must be carried out in a real work environment by Industrial Engineering students as a requirement for obtaining the degree. The internship programs, in turn, are entities that mediate the processes related to intern student’s admission, achievement and evaluation. The aim of this article is to propose a model to evaluate internship programs in Industrial Engineering courses.
Design/methodology/approach – Scientific mapping methods and multicriteria decision-making methods were used. Fuzzy DEMATEL was applied to a group of experts to determine criteria weights, by cause-and-effect evaluation. Subsequently, based on a survey with Industrial Engineering students from Brazilian universities, Fuzzy VIKOR was used to classify and evaluate internship programs.
Findings – Using bibliographic techniques and analysis of social networks, it was possible to identify the main criteria related to internship quality: the student's technical learning; student employability; development of student interpersonal skills; dealings with social issues; the themes developed during the internship; and the internship model and student experience. The model proved to be useful both for comparing different programs, from different universities, as for comparing the evolution of a single program over time.
Research, practical & social implications – The proposed model promises to enhance the quality of internship programs, enabling objective comparisons between institutions and inspiring innovations. The success of multicriteria methods advances knowledge in internship management, highlighting the social relevance of the research in addressing issues such as gender inequality, contributing to equity in a practical and replicable manner.
Originality/value – Besides the unprecedented proposal of using multicriteria decision making to evaluate internship programs, the bibliographic survey brings original issues on the theme as genre equality and discrimination.

Improving passing ability of ultra-heavy-weight concrete by optimising its packing structure
Authors: Huang Zicheng , Zhang Boxi , Ho Johnny Ching Ming , Ren Fengming , Lai Mianheng
Published: June 2024

Heavy-weight concrete (HWC) is a widely adopted radiation shielding material in the nuclear industry. In this study, two kinds of high-density aggregate, namely, iron sand (IS) and steel slag coarse aggregate (SSCA), were adopted to fully replace river sand and natural coarse aggregate, respectively, producing ultra-heavy-weight concrete (UHWC) with a unit weight >3800 kg/m3, to ensure excellent radiation shielding performance. However, IS and SSCA seriously impaired the passing ability of UHWC as the cement paste could not hold the IS and SSCA as firmly as natural aggregates, owing to their high density. To overcome this, the rheology of UHWC should be optimised by partially replacing the cement with superfine silica fume (SSF) and using a suitable amount of superplasticiser (SP) to enhance the wet packing density (WPD). A total of 28 UHWC mixes with different replacement ratios of SSF and different SP dosages were tested for segregation width, flowability, L-box passing ability, unit weight and WPD. Results revealed that incorporating an appropriate quantity of SSF and SP improved the WPD of UHWC, resulting in improved segregation resistance, enhanced flowability, increased passing ability and a higher unit weight. Lastly, there is a positive correlation between flowability, passing ability and WPD.
DUYGULAR SOSYOLOJİSİ VE CİNSİYET ÇALIŞMALARI KESİŞİMİNDE DUYGULAR VE ERKEKLİK TESİSİ
Authors: Özateşler Ülkücan Gül
Published: June 2024

Bu çalışma, erkeklik tesisi ile duygular arasındaki ilişkiyi duygular sosyolojisi ve cinsiyet çalışmaları kesişiminde analiz etmektedir. Çalışma, erkeklik çalışmalarına ve ülkemizde yeni gelişen bir alan olan duygu sosyolojisi ve cinsiyet çalışmaları kesişimine katkı sunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaçla, 18-25 ve 26-40 olmak üzere iki farklı yaş grubundan İzmir'de yaşayan toplam 50 erkekten oluşan örneklem üzerinden toplanan nicel ve nitel veriler sunulmaktadır. Çalışma, nicel verilerden yararlanmakla beraber tematik analize bağlı nitel yaklaşıma dayanmaktadır. Çalışma bulguları, iki yaş grubunda da duygusallığa bağlı erkeklik tesisinin etkilerinin olduğunu sunmaktadır. Buna karşın iki yaş grubunda geleneksel erkeklik tesisi ile farklı kurulan ilişkiler göze çarpmaktadır. Duygusal ifade ve erkeklik tesisi ilişkisinde duygusallığa duyulan mesafe, iletişim zorluğu, sert ifade baskısı, zayıf gözükmekten kaçınma, kalıp yargıyı içselleştirme ana temalar arasında olmaktadır. Aile ve arkadaşlardan oluşan toplumsal çevre, kuşaklar arası dönüşen erkeklik biçimleri ve yaşa bağlı farklı hissedilen baskı ve kontroller bu temaların deneyimlenmesinde farklar oluşturmaktadır. Toplumsallaşma ve aile içerisinde öğrenilen duygular, duygu ve ifade etme kuralları cinsiyete bağlı olarak anlam kazanmakta ve bu anlamlar, toplumsal çevre ile ilişki içerisinde kontrol, baskı, alay, dışlama gibi mekanizmalarla pekiştirilmektedir. Bu baskıyı ve buna bağlı olarak stresi hissetme, toplumsal dönüşüme, toplumsal konuma ve yaşa göre farklılaşabilmektedir; ergenliğe ve beliren yetişkinlik baskısını daha fazla hissetmeye yakın olan kuşakta daha fazla hissedilmektedir.

The distribution of goods and lordship in Indo-European: ‘Givers of goods’ and Vedic vásu savi-, Toch. B saswe ‘lord’, and Hittite aššu šuwe-
Authors: Barnes Timothy G.
Published: June 2024

In this paper, I discuss phraseology relating to the distribution of wealth in a variety of Indo-European languages. In addition to the well-known phrase "(gods), givers of goods" (discovered by Benfey in 1872), I show that a parallel phrase "set-in-motion the goods" can be reconstructed on the basis of Vedic, Tocharian, and Anatolian. One or the other of these elements ('set-in-motion', 'goods') also appear in characteristic designations for 'lord' in several Indo-European traditions.
Travelling myths or Indo-European tradition? The Irano-Scandinavian correspondences
Authors: Hultgård Anders
Published: June 2024

The presence of striking similarities between Scandinavian and Iranian myths has long attracted the curiosity of scholars. The attempts of explaining them follow mainly two lines of reasoning. The first one holds that traditions from Iran spread to northern Europe through different ways in the first millennium CE. The other way round was not proposed – unless we mention Olof Rudbeck and his Atlantica of the 17th century. The second one emphasizes the idea of common Indo-European roots. In this chapter the arguments of both explanation models are discussed and evaluated. Some of the correspondences that have been previously known and discussed by scholars, such as the great winter and the mythic wisdom contest, will be reconsidered. Attention will also be paid to some similarities so far not elaborated, e.g. the anthropogonic myth and the eschatological battle. In the discussion I will point out the problems of the comparative approach but also its advantages. The conclusion to be drawn is that the similarities between Scandinavian and Iranian mythology essentially go back to a shared heritage of myths belonging to the Indo-European period.
The night sky of the Indo-Europeans
Authors: Janda Michael
Published: June 2024

It is not easy to talk about the stars, which are strewn across the night sky in immense abundance and seemingly at random. But this communication was of the utmost importance to farmers and sailors of ancient times. To be able to name the stars, they used metaphors – similarities to earthly phenomena – and perceived relations among the stars, and justified their existence through aitia. This study presents the names of stars and constellations that can be reconstructed for the Neolithic culture of the Indo-Europeans – known ones and some newly discovered ones – and tries to determine their respective naming motives. As in ancient and modern cultures, there existed among the Indo-Europeans a plurality of competing names for stars, constellations and their variously defined subdivisions, which led to conceptual overlaps and to the formation of those stories that constitute the core stock of ancient myths and conceptions of gods.
Celto-Germanic and North-West Indo-European vocabulary: Resonances in myth and rock art iconography
Authors: Koch John T.
Published: June 2024

The chapter develops historical linguistic work undertaken as part of a four-year cross-disciplinary project funded by the Swedish Research Council. New evidence tracing metals in Bronze Age artefacts has revealed that Scandinavia was in trade contact with metal-rich regions in Wales and the Iberian Peninsula, as well as the Italian Alps. This new knowledge leads to reopening two long-known, but poorly explained phenomena: (1) a large body of inherited vocabulary shared by Celtic and Germanic languages, but not Indo-European generally, and (2) detailed similarities shared by the Bronze Age rock art of Scandinavia and the “warrior” stelae of the Iberian Peninsula. In the past, the Celto-Germanic words have been explained as reflecting contacts in Central Europe from 500 BC down to the Roman period. However, that dating seemed possibly too late as many of the words pre-dated Grimm’s Law and lacked earmarks as loanwords, looking instead like inheritances from Proto-Indo-European with limited geographic distributions. Recent archaeogenetic discoveries have also undermined the once prevalent view that only non-Indo-European languages were spoken in Ireland, Britain, Brittany and western Iberia until ~1000 BC or later. Therefore, we now pursue the hypothesis that shared rock art motifs and Celto-Germanic words can be better explained as reflections of the ideology and language of highly mobile Bronze Age warrior/traders who brought copper from Atlantic and Central Europe to metal-poor Scandinavia. The Celto-Germanic word stock highlighted in this paper has to do with myths, beliefs, ideology and their possible resonances in rock art iconography.
Priests, oxen and the Indo-European taxonomy of wealth in the Iguvine Tables
Authors: Zair Nicholas
Published: June 2024

The Iguvine Tables are seven bronze tablets from Iguvium (modern-day Gubbio) in Italy, dating from between the late third to late second or early first century BC. They are written in Umbrian, a Sabellic language, and record the rituals and acts of a group of priests, known as the Atiedian brotherhood. In this chapter I will focus on the word arsmo and its derivatives, which are attested in a number of contexts. In general, arsmo has been translated as something like like ‘rites, rituals’, or ‘priests, magistrates’, which is largely a guess based on its appearance in contexts of formulae like the following: nerf. arsmo. ueiro pequo. castruo. fri. pihatu. ‘purify the magistrates, arsmo, men, cattle, heads (of corn?), crops’. I argue that arsmo should be understood as the Umbrian equivalent of Latin armenta ‘herds of (large) cattle’, and that this formula is an expanded version of a well-attested Indo-European merism which represents the types of mobile wealth *u̯iHro- pek̑u- ‘men and cattle’; in this case each member has been subject to a doubling. The first member has been divided into nerf ‘magistrates, upper class men’, and ueiro ‘(other) men’, and the second into arsmo ‘large cattle’ and pequo ‘small cattle’. Derivatives of arsmo are found in arsmahamo ‘form up into groups’ and in perca arsmatiam ‘cowherd’s staff’. The latter is part of the equipment of the Umbrian augur, suggesting that the Atiedian brothers, like Roman and Etruscan augurs, carried a crook which was originally the equipment of an animal herder.
On the Process of Writing Site-Specific Textual Choreography
Authors: Heimonen Kirsi , Rouhiainen Leena
Published: June 2024

This article addresses a process of writing textual choreography. The authors have developed a co-authored and co-embodied site-specific approach to choreography as writing. They introduce the method they have developed and tell the readers about the urban site in which they employed it. Most importantly they describe the process of co-writing through an approach inspired by phenomenological research and its conceptions of lived experience description and interpretation. With the article the authors aim to introduce features of their lived experience of site-specific collaborative writing, to discuss some of the specific characteristics of their approach to textual choreography and to offer insight for others developing approaches to site-specific, embodied and somatic forms of writing. An additional motif is that the authors want to participate in the movement of extending choreography into the realms poetic and creative writing that is an increasingly addressed theme in both dance art and its artistic research.

A Systematic Literature Review of Islamic Inheritance in Malaysia
Authors: Ibrahim Norhazlina
Published: June 2024

The study aims to expand the existing body of knowledge by highlighting and summarising current studies on Islamic inheritance. Thus, this study presented a map of the research interest and determined primary issues to demonstrate current trends, future research directions, and theory development. A systematic literature review (SLR) approach was employed using the four-step reporting standard for the Systematic Evidence Syntheses (ROSES) review: research question formulation, systematic searching, quality assessment, and data extraction. A total of 33 screened articles between 2008 and 2022 were retrieved from two primary databases (Scopus and Emerald and one supporting database, Google Scholar). The factors were categorised into three primary themes: general, motives and preference studies, and determinant analysis. The themes were subsequently divided into seven sub-themes. Notably, most studies examined unclaimed asset issues based on the determinant analysis. This study offered useful insights into the current research interest regarding the subject. The issues and domains in the current study contribute new knowledge and theory development for future directions in the field. This study addressed empirical gaps and presents an excellent reference relevant for regulators, policymakers, and researchers in comprehending the issues and existing solutions in Islamic inheritance.
Standardization, White Supremacy, and Racial Self-Definition: African American Secondary Schools in Rural North Carolina, 1920-1954
Authors: Nocera Amato , Steele Kyle P. , Hensley John
Published: June 2024

In this historical examination, Amato Nocera, Kyle P. Steele, and John Hensley argue that the development of Black rural high schools in the decades leading up to the Brown v. Board of Education decision represented the dynamic between standardization, white supremacy, and Black self-definition that has shaped US education reform. Focusing on the interplay of state-level education administrators, local white officials, and Black community members, the authors’ analysis of Black rural high schools draws on archival data from DuBois High School in rural Wake Forest, North Carolina, to broaden the literature on the history of the American high school and contribute to an understanding of the Black Freedom Movement by recognizing secondary schools as vital to institution building in the Jim Crow South.

Published: June 2024

El proceso de activación del silano ha sido identificado como generador de subproductos que impactan la fuerza de unión (FU) entre un cemento resinoso y un sustrato cerámico. Objetivo: evaluar la FU entre un composite nanocerámico y un cemento resinoso al emplear silano precalentado entre ellos. Materiales y métodos: se utilizaron 40 laminados para CAD / CAM (Brava Block) distribuidos en cuatro grupos (n = 10) con diferentes tratamientos superficiales. El grupo de control (GC) fue sometido a chorro de arena + silano + adhesivo universal. G24: Arenado + silano a temperatura ambiente + adhesivo universal. G100-3. Chorro de arena + silano calentadoa 1000  C durante 3 minutos + adhesivo universal. G100-5: Chorro de arena + silano calentado a 1000 C durante 5 minutos + adhesivo universal. Se cementaron cuatro microtubos de resina (llis. FGM) con cemento resinoso en cada laminado. Dos microtubos se ensayaron inmediatamente y los otros, después de un periodo de envejecimiento. Se aplicó una prueba de microcizallamiento en la máquina de ensayos universal. Los datos se analizaron estadísticamente con ANOVA y la prueba posthoc de Tukey con un α = 0,05. Resultados: los grupos G100-3 y G100-5 lograron los valores más altos de FU. (62,67; 64,16 MPa), mientras que los GC y G24 exhibieron los valores más bajos (38,50; 48,94 MPa). Incluso después del envejecimiento, la FU se mantuvo elevada en los grupos G100-3 y G100-5 (56,80; 57,10 MPa). Conclusiones: el tratamiento térmico del silano antes de cementar un composite de nanocerámica puede mejorar su fuerza de unión.
Caries cervical en paciente pediátrico con hipomineralización inciso-molar. Reporte de caso
Authors: Sanguil Vásquez Karina , Terreros Andrea Catalina
Published: June 2024

La Hipomineralización inciso-molar (HIM) es un defecto cualitativo en el desarrollo del esmalte, que además de afectar a incisivos y molares puede llegar a involucrar a los caninos permanentes. Esta condición representa un desafío clínico y se caracteriza por lesiones que pueden ser de color blanco, amarillo o incluso marrón. Estos defectos ocurren por alteraciones durante la etapa de mineralización o maduración de la amelogénesis. Se han propuesto múltiples factores que pueden estar relacionados como: factores genéticos, ambientales, enfermedad en la niñez e incluso el consumo de medicamentos. El esmalte que se encuentra afectado por esta hipomineralización tiene una menor dureza, es más poroso llegando a provocar hipersensibilidad y siendo más propenso a desarrollar lesiones cariosas. Objetivo: presentar un caso clínico de un paciente de 10 años de edad atendido en la Facultad de Odontología de la Universidad de Cuenca con caries a nivel cervical de los dientes 1.1 y 2.1 y diagnosticado con HIM.
The role of collagen dressings in the complex treatment of diabetic foot ulcers
Authors: Lutsenko Yu. G. , Abramova Yu. G. , Matiytsiv A. B.
Published: June 2024

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) in the population aged 20–79 years has reached more than half a billion people, representing about 10.5 % of the adult population on the planet. The risk of developing diabetic foot ulcers ranges from 19 to 34 % with a recurrence rate of 65 % within 5 years.

The aim of the study: to evaluate the efficacy of dressings containing lyophilized collagen solution in the complex treatment of chronic diabetic foot ulcers.

Materials and methods. 101 patients with diabetic foot ulcers (degree of foot lesions I–II according to Wagner) were under observation: in I (main) group — 52 patients — we used dressings containing lyophilized collagen solution (Zelenaya Dubrava, ZAO, RF), in II (comparison group) — 49 patients — traditional local treatment. Planimetric indices of the wound surface were measured using the MultiSpec program, and the assessment of treatment efficacy was determined as the ratio of the final area and depth of the wound to the initial values in percent.

Results and their discussion. On admission, the wound area in the main group was 4.3 ± 3.7 cm2, whereas in the comparison group it was 4.1 ± 3.6 cm2. The final wound area (by 4-week measurement) decreased to 1.2 ± 1.3 cm2 in group I, whereas it was 2.6 ± 3.5 cm2 in group II. On 8–10 days after removal of purulent-necrotic tissues in the first group clinically there was a significant reduction of finger edema, cytologically there was no microflora in the wound discharge, phagocytosis was completed, whereas in the second group there was an inflammatory reaction (single areas of lysed leukocytes alternated with accumulation of leukocytes up to ¼ in f/v).

Conclusions. Cytologically the effectiveness of collagen dressings application in complex treatment of diabetic foot ulcers was proved: by the end of the second week absence of inflammatory reaction and presence of proliferation signs in the majority of 69,4 % of patients. Planimetrically positive dynamics of the wound process was established: reduction of the area by the end of the 4th week in comparison with the initial one by 45,1 ± 33,8 % at traditional methods of treatment and by 79,9 ± 16,4 % at local use of collagen dressings, and depth — 53,1 ± 37,5 % and 76,8 ± 18,6 % respectively.

Artykuł 217 Konstytucji RP a konstrukcja podatku
Authors: Nykiel Włodzimierz
Published: June 2024

Artykuł 217 Konstytucji RP wymaga, by nakładanie podatków i innych danin publicznych następowało w drodze ustawy. Przepis ten wskazuje również szereg elementów konstrukcji podatku, które winny się znaleźć w ustawie (podmioty, przedmioty opodatkowania, stawki, kategorie podmiotów zwolnionych od podatków). W ustawie winny być także określone zasady przyznawania ulg i umorzeń. Ulgi są niesamoistnymi elementami konstrukcji podatku, zaś umorzenia nie są elementami konstrukcji podatku, lecz należą do ulg w zapłacie podatku (w spłacie zobowiązań podatkowych).
Artykuł 217 nie określa wszystkich istotnych elementów konstrukcji podatku. Niestety nie wskazują na to wyraźnie sformułowania tego przepisu i jest to na pewno jego wada powodująca kłopoty interpretacyjne. Nie ulega wątpliwości, że wszystkie istotne elementy konstrukcji podatku winny się znaleźć w ustawie podatkowej, po to, by można było uznać, że nałożenie podatku nastąpiło w drodze ustawy, a tym samym, by został spełniony obowiązek ustawodawcy wynikający z pierwszej części art. 217. Wtedy wysokość podatku da się obliczyć na podstawie ustawy i podatnik będzie mógł korzystać ze swego fundamentalnego prawa do zapłaty podatku w wysokości wynikającej z ustawy. Tylko wtedy art. 217 gwarantuje prawa podatnika na etapie stanowienia prawa i umacnia ustrojową pozycję parlamentu.
Pojęcie i charakter zasady konstytucyjnej wynikającej z art. 66 Konstytucji
Authors: Wyka Teresa
Published: June 2024

Obecnie obowiązująca Konstytucja1 w rozdziale II zatytułowanym: „Wolności, prawa i obowiązki człowieka i obywatela” (art. 30–86), w części: „Wolności i prawa ekonomiczne, socjalne i kulturalne” (art. 64–76 ) stanowi w art. 66 o prawie każdego do bezpiecznych i higienicznych warunków pracy, którego sposób realizacji i obowiązki pracodawcy ma określić ustawa (ust. 1) oraz o prawie pracownika do określonych w ustawie dni wolnych od pracy i corocznych płatnych urlopów, odsyłając do ustawy w zakresie maksymalnych norm czasu pracy (ust. 2). Wykładnia literalna art. 66 ust 1 i ust. 2 prowadzi do wniosku, że ustrojodawca określił w tej normie dwa różne co do zakresu podmiotowego i przedmiotowego prawa odnoszące się do pracy. Wspólnym mianownikiem dla tych praw są wartości będące ich źródłem. W artykule postawiono tezę, że z art. 66 wynika konstytucyjna zasada ochrony zdrowia i życia osób świadczących pracę. Postawienie takiej tezy wymaga w pierwszej kolejności zajęcia stanowiska w kwestii zasad konstytucyjnych, ich rozumienia i rodzajów.
Stosowanie Europejskiej Karty Samorządu Lokalnego w orzecznictwie sądów administracyjnych
Authors: Sobański Piotr
Published: June 2024

Sądy administracyjne, rozpoznając zarzuty dotyczące naruszeń poszczególnych postanowień EKSL, równolegle dokonywały kompleksowej oceny charakteru EKSL. W orzecznictwie wskazuje się wyraźnie, że żaden przepis EKSL nie ma charakteru normy samowykonalnej, gdyż EKSL jest zbiorem przepisów o charakterze postulatywnym. Nie mogą one stanowić w sprawach samodzielnej podstawy do wykazania legitymacji skargowej. W tym zakresie orzecznictwo sądów administracyjnych jest jednolite.
Istnieje bogate orzecznictwo Trybunału Konstytucyjnego, w którym Trybunał odnosił się do unormowań zawartych w EKSL. Trybunał odwoływał się do EKSL jako źródła wzorców kontroli aktów normatywnych, dotyczących samorządu terytorialnego, nie nadając jednak postanowieniom EKSL znaczenia przesądzającego.
Niezrealizowane zagrożenie praw i wolności jednostki. Uwagi o projekcie nieuchwalonej ustawy o szczególnych rozwiązaniach zapewniających możliwość prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej w czasie epidemii COVID-19
Authors: Piotrowski Ryszard
Published: June 2024

Pandemia COVID-19 stała się pretekstem do stworzenia swoistego wehikułu legislacyjnego pozwalającego na pilne wprowadzanie w prawie zmian budzących zasadnicze zastrzeżenia z punktu widzenia konstytucyjnych gwarancji praw i wolności jednostki.  Nie zdecydowano się na wprowadzenie jednoznacznie określonego obowiązku szczepień przeciw wirusowi COVID-19. W tym kontekście zwraca uwagę bezskuteczna próba ustawowego wymuszenia częściowego wprowadzenia tego obowiązku w projekcie nieuchwalonej ustawy o szczególnych rozwiązaniach zapewniających możliwość prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej w czasie epidemii COVID-19. Projekt ten przewidywał też umożliwienie stworzenia swego rodzaju systemu monitorowania i ewidencjonowania obecności jednostek w przestrzeni publicznej. Zawarte w nim rozwiązania budzą zasadnicze zastrzeżenia konstytucyjne, których analiza wskazuje na łatwość ignorowania postanowień Konstytucji przez projektodawców, w tym przypadku posłów, ale – ze względu na utrwalony już zwyczaj o wątpliwym statusie prawnym – zapewne korzystających ze wsparcia rządowego zaplecza legislacyjnego.
Poselski projekt ustawy o szczególnych rozwiązaniach zapewniających możliwość prowadzenia działalności gospodarczej w czasie epidemii COVID-19 był przedmiotem pierwszego czytania w Komisji Zdrowia, która zakończyła swoje prace przedłożeniem Sejmowi sprawozdania48 zawierającego wersję sporządzoną przez Komisję. Jednakże sprawozdanie to nie stało się przedmiotem dalszego postępowania w Sejmie.
Nie doszło zatem do uchwalenia ustawy sprowadzającej zagrożenie dla praw i wolności jednostki. Jednak w przekazanym Sejmowi stanowisku Rada Ministrów stwierdziła, że „pozytywnie opiniuje” poselski projekt i wskazała na „konieczność pilnego zastosowania projektowanych instytucji normatywnych”. Aprobata rządu dla naruszania Konstytucji i ignorowania dorobku orzecznictwa oraz doktryny dotyczącego interpretacji ustawy zasadniczej jest kolejnym przejawem kryzysu konstytucyjnego, od którego trwałości zależy trwanie i intensywność zagrożeń dla praw i wolności jednostki. Polityczne potrzeby większości parlamentarnej, stymulowane przez możliwy rozwój epidemii, mogą spowodować, że uzasadniane jej zwalczaniem zagrożenie dla praw i wolności jednostki stanie się realne.
Rozstrzyganie kolizji ochrony godności urzędu Prezydenta RP oraz wolności wypowiedzi w orzecznictwie sądowym

Usunięcie z Kodeksu karnego art. 135 § 2 k.k. jawi się jako mało prawdopodobne w realiach polskich, zarówno społecznych, jak i, przede wszystkim, politycznych. Jednakże uzasadnienie rezygnacji z całego art. 135 k.k., w zakresie zniesienia odrębnej ochrony głowy państwa przed zniewagą zbieżne z wywodami Trybunału w sprawie Vedat Şorli v. Turcja, zostało przedstawione w doktrynie już w 2017 r. Wbrew przyjmowanej dotychczas argumentacji, podstaw stwierdzenia niekonstytucyjności art. 135 k.k. należy upatrywać nie w błędnym rozstrzygnięciu kolizji między porządkiem publicznym a wolnością wypowiedzi na gruncie zasady proporcjonalności sensu stricto, lecz na gruncie naruszenia zasad demokratycznego państwa prawnego, a spośród nich zasady trójpodziału i równowagi władz, oraz na gruncie braku konieczności odrębnej ingerencji w sferę praw i wolności jednostki poprzez art. 135 k.k.
Odnośnie do naruszenia zasady trójpodziału i równowagi władz (art. 10 Konstytucji RP) nie jest, z jej punktu widzenia, dopuszczalne wyróżnienie jednego z elementów jednej z władz, poprzez przyznanie mu odrębnej ochrony prawnokarnej. Mimo szczególnej pozycji głowy państwa w systemie władzy, wynikającej z art. 126 ust. 1 i 2 Konstytucji RP, organ ten sytuuje się jako część władzy wykonawczej, nie będąc częścią władzy sądowniczej ani ustawodawczej.
Dodatkowym argumentem jest naruszenie zasady równego traktowania w stosunku do innych obywateli w sytuacji, gdy osobowy substrat urzędu Prezydenta RP jest szczególnie i w sposób konstytucyjnie nieuprawniony chroniony w porównaniu ze zwykłym obywatelem w każdej sytuacji. Przekonującego dowodu takiej nieuzasadnionej, niesymetrycznej ochrony dostarcza uzasadnienie wyroku ETPC w sprawie Eon v. Francja.
Cel, w postaci ochrony godności Prezydenta RP, może być osiągnięty za pomocą art. 226 § 3 albo § 1 k.k. Nieuprawniona ingerencja dotyczy zatem zarówno faktu odrębnej kryminalizacji, tj. multiplikacji norm sankcjonujących bazujących na tej samej normie sankcjonowanej, jak i nieporównywalnie surowszego zagrożenia ustawowego karą. Efektem harmonizacji kontekstu konstytucyjnego ochrony Prezydenta RP nie byłaby dekryminalizacja jego publicznej zniewagi, lecz wskazanie takich granic ochrony tego organu władzy, które dają się pogodzić z wartościami i zasadami demokratycznego państwa prawnego. Artykuł 135 § 2 k.k. nie daje się natomiast pogodzić z zasadą poszanowania wolności jednostki, zawartą w art. 31 ust. 1 Konstytucji RP.

Investigating the Structural, Electronic and Magnetic Properties of Single Vanadium Atom Doped Germanene Monolayer using Density Functional Theory (DFT)
Authors: S. L. Usman , J. A Owolabi , Shuaibu Alhassan , M N Maharaz
Published: June 2024

In this study, density functional theory (DFT) within generalized gradient approximation (GGA) as implemented in Quantum ESPRESSO package has been employed. The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of single Vanadium atom (V)-doped germanene monolayer have been investigated. The doping is carried out in 2x2x1 supercell with 32 atoms which gives around 3.12% doping concentration. The results revealed that single V atom doped Germanene monolayer induced both ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic behavior with total magnetic moment of about 0.77 μB and 1.95 μB respectively. Also the behavior of the pristine germanene remains unaffected by the single V doping. The stability of the doped system are investigated by calculating cohesive and binding energies. These results are in good agreement with many reported results in case of both graphene and silicene. It’s also suggested that, the single V-doped germanene monolayer can support the quantum anomalous Hall effect, which has significant potential for spintronic applications.Keyword: Density Functional Theory (DFT), Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA), Structural, Electronic and Magnetic Properties, Doping, Germanene Monolayer
Correlative Survey of Blended LiCoO2 and LiMn2O4 Cathode Materials for Lithium-ion Batteries
Authors: Okonkwo Fidelis , Okonkwo Chika
Published: June 2024

We employed the lithium-ion battery model in Multiphysics to simulate the electrochemical characteristics of lithium-ion batteries. These batteries consist of a cathode mixture comprising LiCoO2 and LiMn2O4, as well as quasi-graphite anode. Our simulations successfully replicated the discharge profiles of both unblended and blended cathodes across different current rates, aligning with results obtained from experiments. The energy and power densities of the blended cathode framework were regulated by adjusting the mix ratio in the simulation model. Additionally, the blended electrodes of LiCoO2 and LiMn2O4 demonstrated an above-average electrochemical performance, combining the characteristics of the two active materials.Keywords: Lithium-ion Battery; Blended Cathode Active Materials; Simulation; Experiment

Published: June 2024

Aim: The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to determine the diagnostic and prognostic utility of artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) algorithms in Brugada Syndrome (BrS).

Methods: A systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature was conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. MEDLINE, EMBASE, SCOPUS, and WEB OF SCIENCE databases were searched for relevant articles. Abstract and title screening, full-text review, and data extraction were conducted independently by two of the authors. Conflicts were resolved via discussion among authors. A risk-of-bias assessment was performed using the QUADAS-2 tool for diagnostic studies and the PROBAST tool for prognostic studies. Forest plots and the summary area under the receiver operating characteristic (SAUROC) curve were done in R.

Results: A total of 12 papers were included in our study. Among the best-performing diagnostic algorithms from each study, the sensitivity and specificity ranged from 0.80 to 0.89 and 0.74 to 0.97, respectively. In overall studies, sensitivity was 0.845 ± 0.014 and specificity was 0.892 ± 0.062 using a random effects model. A pooled analysis of the summary area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (SAUROC) was 0.77 for diagnostic studies. Prognostic studies showed good performance as well, with the AUC of the best-performing prognostic algorithms ranging from 0.71 to 0.90.

Conclusions: Overall, AI/ML algorithms had high diagnostic and prognostic accuracy. These results highlight the potential of AI/ML algorithms for the diagnosis and prognosis of BrS and permit a choice of the best-performing ML algorithms.
Understanding the influence of religiosity, halal label, eco label, and halal green perception on customer loyalty
Authors: Maulida Annina , Hapsari Raditha Dwi Vata
Published: June 2024

The growth of the cosmetics industry in the world has increased rapidly in recent decades. Cosmetics manufacturers face intense competitive pressure, both from halal cosmetics products and regular cosmetics products. The existence of this intense competition requires companies to be responsive to consumer needs, so companies must ensure that their product offerings are aligned with consumer demand, to encourage consumer adoption. As explanatory quantitative research, the purpose of this research is to figure out the  characteristics of muslim women Generasion Z and determine the effect of Religiosity, Halal Label, Eco Label and Halal Green Perception on Customer Loyalty, both directly and indirectly. The object of this research is a Muslim women Generation Z who uses halal green cosmetics in Malang City with a total sampel of 200 respondents.The technique of collecting data using a closed questionnaire and analyzed with SmartPLS 3.0. As a result, religiosity has no significantly influence on customer loyalty, but Halal Label and Eco Label significantly affect customer loyalty. Furthermore, religiosity, halal label and eco label have a directly positive impact on halal green perceptions. It is worth noting that Halal Green Perception also indirectly plays a role by mediating between religiosity, halal label and eco label on customer loyalty. Although religiosity does not play a direct role in influencing Customer Loyalty, it does not mean that these products cannot attract Generation Z's interest. It should be noted that although the level of Religiosity of Generation Z varies, this generation can still choose halal green cosmetics based on considerations of product quality assurance such as halal label and eco label.

Authors: Rwamba Karuga , Mutuku Morrisson , Sang Paul
Published: June 2024

Kenya has seen a boom in road building during the last couple of years as a result of the government's significant investments in the construction industry to upgrade infrastructure, such as road networks. Road network construction is one of the key pillar of the country long term vision 2030. However, the performance of the road projects has experienced various challenges leaving some roads uncompleted, others poorly done after huge investment of public resources. This study sought to evaluate the influence of financial resources scheduling on the performance of road construction projects in Nairobi Metropolitan, Kenya. The research was based on resource dependence theory. A descriptive design as well as the cross-sectional survey was used. The population of interest for this study consisted of 39 road construction projects being implemented by Kenya Urban Roads Authority and Kenya National Highway Authority within the Nairobi metropolitan area. A semi structured questionnaire was utilized to collect primary data. The quantitative data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. The study results revealed projects resource scheduling had a positive and significant effect on project performance of road construction projects in Nairobi Metropolitan, Kenya. The study concludes that effective financial resource scheduling enables that organization to manage risk that may occur from changes in the project’s outcome. Financial resource scheduling starts from developing the project budget which is a process for allocating administered and departmental funds necessary to build a financial foundation for producing stated project deliverables.
