The efficiency of scientific activities and technology transfer in higher education in Poland
Authors: Łącka Irena , Brzezicki Łukasz
Published: March 2024

The objective of the article is to measure and evaluate the efficiency of scientific activity and technology transfer to the economy by public higher education institutions (HEIs) in Poland and to formulate recommendations for state policy to increase the effectiveness of the technology transfer process by them. The study measured scientific activity and technology transfer separately in two groups of higher education institutions (i.e., universities and technical universities). Two non-radial models, SBM and BP-SBM, which belong to the non-parametric Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method, were used for the study.All examined higher education institutions are more efficient in basic research than in transferring technology to the economy. However, technical universities are more efficient in technology transfer and universities in basic research. In most cases, technical universities are more accomplished in scientific activity than universities in technology transfer. Research shows that universities have been almost entirely focused on basic research, and technical universities have engaged in basic research and technology transfer to the economy in various ways. The research results confirmed the existence of very weak links between science and business in terms of knowledge and technology transfer to the economy. This is due to many factors. The authors presented recommendations for necessary actions that will enable the increase of technology transfer by public universities in Poland.An interesting direction of future research is the measurement and evaluation of the effectiveness of technology transfer of the second group of NIS entities in Poland, i.e. research institutes.
Prosumerism of companies – opportunities and challenges in the consumers’ opinion
Authors: Szul Elżbieta
Published: March 2024

Prosumerism refers to the practices and activities of companies aimed at including and involving consumers in the co-creation of value and market offerings. The involvement of consumers takes various forms, from encouraging consumers to share their opinions and knowledge, modify the market offering, adapt it to their needs, and participate in its creation. Companies, through such activities, respond to the expectations of consumers who are active and do not want to be just passive recipients of the market offering. The paper addresses the issue of prosumptionism of companies in the consumers’ evaluation. It presents the research results on the prosumptionism of companies – the benefits, opportunities and threats related to it, as well as consumers’ expectations regarding the activities of companies. Although prosumption and prosumerism have become more common and consumers are increasingly prosumers (even though they are often unaware of it), in addition to the perceived opportunities and benefits, problems or threats to companies are also apparent.

Authors: Bui Nhi Thanh , Tran Van Phong , Nguyen Van Diep , Phan Trong Trinh
Published: March 2024

Studying the present strain rate is significant in determining the characteristics and origin of geological anomalies in the region. Tectonic strain occurs under the influence of various factors, especially tectonic forces, and only a few cases of deformation occur at speeds observable by humans. This research uses velocity data from GNSS measurements in Quang Nam - Quang Ngai and surrounding regions to assess present tectonic strain. The combination of methods used in this study includes calculating the ITRF Earth-fixed frame to minimize errors, the method of relative velocity calculation to compare the speed variations between station positions, and the deformation calculation method using the QOCA software developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL). The calculated results show that the coastal areas of the study have relatively low strain rates with the principal strain rate <15 nano-strain/year, the magnitude of deformation is always less than 7.5 nano-strain/year, and the area is conducive to the development of dominant reverse faulting.

Published: March 2024

Relevance of research. The editor-in-chief’s column analyzes the topic and content of the key heading of the current issue of the journal “Legal Concept = Pravovaya Paradigma”, entitled “The Evolution of Some Types of Debt Relationships in the Russian Federation”. The prepared issue deals with the implementation of certain provisions of the law of obligations after the 2015 reform. The scientific and practical significance of the papers presented in the feature topic of the issue is analyzed. The scientific novelty of the conducted comprehensive legal research reflected in the heading “The feature topic of the issue” is based on the results obtained by the authors of the scientific papers that have touched on the specifics of the content of certain types of obligations. Many of the most controversial issues related to both traditional and modernized legal regulation are also analyzed. The methodological framework for intersectoral legal research is traditionally made up of the general scientific methods of cognition used in the social sciences and humanities in general, including in law. Among the most significant general methods of cognition is the method of historical materialism, as well as the general logical methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, and deduction. The special and private methods are presented in the scientific papers under the heading mainly formal legal and comparative legal methods. Results. It is revealed that some provisions of the law of obligations that are subject to modernization have generated theoretical discussions and some difficulties. This topic is relevant for scientific papers presented in the key heading of the journal. Conclusions. Taking into account the opinion of specialized professionals as well as the analysis of the legislative innovations, the conclusion is substantiated that the main purpose of the mandatory legal reform is to streamline and clarify the provisions of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation. This statement is explained by the lag of the legislation from objective legal reality and the development of judicial practice, during the formation of which numerous attempts were made to fill the legal gaps and level out emerging problems. It is established that many controversial issues related to the reform of the law of obligations and the modernization of the special legislation that regulates certain types of debt relationships have been covered within the framework of the feature topic of the prepared issue of the journal “Legal Concept = Pravovaya Paradigma” – “The Evolution of Some Types of Debt Relationships in the Russian Federation”.

Authors:   National Research State University of Nizhny Novgorod named after N.I. Lobachevsky, Karakulyan Emil
Published: March 2024

Introduction. The multidimensionality and plurality of doctrinal sources of the science of international law require a philosophical understanding of the main issues of international law. This is also due to the transitive nature of the current international system. Purpose. To define the conceptual framework for the subject field of the philosophy of international law. Methods. The research uses the general scientific methods of historicism, systematics, and analysis, as well as the comparative law method. Results. It is argued that the historical and conceptual (thematic) frameworks for the philosophy of international law can act as separate directions for meta-research. Conclusions. One of the central categories of the subject field of the philosophy of international law is the concept of international law awareness. The subject field of the philosophy of international law is formed taking into account the historical and conceptual limitations of the idea of universality in the structure of international law studies, as well as their metatheoretical orientation.

Realizamos una primera aproximación a las acciones de los movimientos socioterritoriales rurales en Argentina, en tornoa diferentes temas relacionados con los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) durante el COVID-19. Enmarcada enel proyecto de cooperación internacional Movimientos socioterritoriales en perspectiva comparada, nuestra metodología,consiste en el mapeo y análisis de las acciones de protesta e iniciativas vinculadas a la agroecología (producción, comercialización, formación y género). Durante la pandemia, los movimientos continuaron manifestándose en torno a diversos temas, entre los cuales se destaca la tierra y la cuestión étnica, a veces conectando diferentes puntos del país o manifiestandose lejos del territorio de origen. Las iniciativas agroecológicas se reconfiguraron mediante la modalidad virtual en la formación y el crecimiento de ferias y bolsones en la comercialización. Esta territorialización de los movimientos refleja en última instancia un posicionamiento alternativo y/o crítico al modelo de desarrollo hegemónico.

Published: March 2024

Под «неудовлетворёнными потребностями в медицинской помощи» понимают ситуации, в которых индивиды осознают потребность в получении медицинских услуг, но в итоге не получают их. Подобные неудовлетворённые потребности (НП) часто встречаются в современных системах здравоохранения и с разной частотой возникают у разных групп населения. Данное исследование впервые изучает проблему НП в медицинской помощи на российских данных, рассматривая их распространённость среди разных групп населения с помощью поведенческой модели Андерсена и учитывая различные барьеры для получения медицинской помощи. Данные «Национального мониторинга общественного здоровья» показали, что каждый второй россиянин (52,4%) сталкивался с неудовлетворёнными потребностями в медицинской помощи в 2022 г. Чаще такие НП возникали у женщин, молодых, имеющих проблемы со здоровьем и людей с высшим образованием. В отличие от других стран, для России различия в распространённости НП у групп индивидов с разными социально-экономическими статусами не обнаружены. Респонденты связывали свои НП преимущественно с барьером принятия медицинской помощи (37%), т. е. с их отношением к своему здоровью и системе здравоохранения, а также личными ситуациями, которые препятствовали обращениям за помощью. В полтора раза реже встречались НП в связи с барьером удобства получения помощи (23,4%), а в два раза реже – в связи с барьером недостаточной доступности медицинской помощи (19,4%). Трансформация отношения россиян к собственному здоровью, помимо развития доступности и удобства получения медицинской помощи, может способствовать снижению распространённости НП.
Дети мигрантов в России: потребность в интеграционной образовательной поддержке
Authors: Смирнова Мария Алексеевна
Published: March 2024

В работе рассматривается проблема интеграции детей мигрантов в российское общество посредством школьного обучения, а также предлагаются оценки числа детей мигрантов, потенциально испытывающих потребность в специфической образовательной поддержке.

Начиная с 2010-х годов появилось большое количество научных работ, изучающих положение детей мигрантов в России, при этом эффективность российских школ как инструмента интеграции детей мигрантов получает в литературе неоднозначные оценки: с одной стороны, исследователи критикуют отсутствие системной поддержки, а с другой – проводимые обследования статистически не подтверждают ни специфической для мигрантов академической неуспешности, ни социальной исключенности. Такая неоднозначность является следствием отсутствия понимания масштабов запроса мигрантов на интеграционную поддержку.

В рамках статьи проанализированы материалы пяти интервью и одной фокус-группы с экспертами из организаций, оказывающих языковую и академическую помощь детям мигрантов. Эксперты констатируют недостаточность существующей инфраструктуры поддержки детей мигрантов, а также заявляют о проблеме недооценки масштабов потребности в ней со стороны академического сообщества.

В работе впервые предложена оценка потенциального числа реципиентов интеграционной поддержки. При построении модели учитывались: число детей мигрантов в возрастах от 7 до 17 лет, проживавших в России на конец 2020 г.; и риск недостаточной языковой компетентности и академической неуспешности для этих групп. Коэффициенты риска были применены к оценкам численности детей мигрантов из избранных стран (Таджикистан, Узбекистан, Армения, Киргизия и Азербайджан), полученным на основе когортно-компонентной модели.

По результатам работы число детей, потенциально испытывающих потребность в образовательной поддержке, колеблется от 30 до 60 тыс. человек.
On the Continued Need for Replication in Media and Communication Research
Authors: Bowman Nicholas David
Published: March 2024

Common models of the scientific method articulate the processes by which we hypothesize about the correlation between variables and then test those predictions to make incremental conclusions about the world around us. Implied in this process is the replication and extension of that knowledge to various contexts. As with other social sciences, published analyses have demonstrated that media and communication scholarship suffers from a lack of replication studies, often due to presumptions about the lack of reward or incentive for conducting this work—such as perceived difficulties securing support for and/or publishing these studies. This commentary will reflect on and reinforce arguments for the intentional and important role of replication studies in media and communication scholarship. The essay reflects on replication as a key to post-positivist approaches, and then highlights recent developments that center replication work as key to scientific progression.
Intelligent Buildings as Cyber-Physical Systems: a Reconfigurable Hardware Technology-based Approach
Authors: Szász Csaba
Published: March 2024

This paper discusses the idea to change the way to approach intelligent buildings (IBs) development and implementation by taking into account the last evolutions in cyber-physical systems (CPSs). Therefore, the main goal is to extend IBs design engineering with the constraints of systems in a CPS context. As well known, smart buildings are increasingly complex as they integrate many scientific areas and research topics, as well as a large scale of last-generation technologies. At the same time, the Internet has deeply transformed the way to manage information and services, respectively how information is transmitted and computed in cyberspace. The quick management and information processing inside cyber layer challenges the interaction with the physical world in a sense to develop IBs as smart distributed systems or CPSs. In addition to this, the papers emphasize the original idea of developing reconfigurable hardware technology-based (RHT-based) CPS architectures for IBs implementation purposes. The benefits of the RHT application in a CPS context for IBs are widely discussed and analyzed. The unfolded theoretical background has been supported by an implementation example using last generation software technologies. These experiments evidence the advantages and versatility of this challenging implementation paradigm of the latest digital technology, applied for current-state IBs development.

Authors:   Ivano-Frankivsk branch of Open International University of Human Development «Ukraine», Vazhynskyi V.M.
Published: March 2024

The article examines the sphere of investment activity from the vision of the new concept of administrative law in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is the formation of a new theoretical view on the sphere of investment activity from the standpoint of the safeguard of public values. The methodological basis of the research is the dialectical method of learning real phenomena of objective reality. The author also has used a complex of special methods, that is: system analysis to study the place of the safeguard in the legal system of Ukraine and the place of society in ensuring the safeguard of public values, system-structural to determine the content of the safeguard, modeling to develop a model of public values safeguard. Methods of formal logic (abstraction, analogy, deduction, induction, synthesis) were used for theoretical understanding of scientific sources. It has been established that safeguard is considered in different aspects: as a function of the state, a function of law, a direction of activity of state bodies, a legal institution, etc. The author proposed to consider the safeguard of public values in the sphere of investment activity as a direction (function) of public governance, which includes: provision (ensuring law and order in a certain area, which is manifested by law-making, permitting, analytical, coordination, information activities, etc.); prevention (prevention of offenses in the sphere of investment activity, which is manifested by control, supervision, coordination, information, legal clarification and other types of activities), protection (ensuring the safety of members of society in the event of committing certain offenses in the sphere of investment activity against them, which is manifested in the form control, administrative-procedural, operational-investigative, criminal procedural and other types of activities).
UKRAINIAN ADVOCACY IN WAR CONDITIONS: NATIONAL AND FOREIGN CONTEXT
Authors:   National Academy of Internal Affairs, Kiev, Ukraine, Ivanitsky S. O.
Published: March 2024

The article explored the issues of the functioning of the advocacy during the russian-­ukrainian war. The main challenges that were put before ukrainian advocates within the country and abroad were analyzed. Ways of solving the difficulties associated with the war were identified. The purpose of the article is to analyze the problems and trends in the development of the ukrainian аdvocacy during a full-scale war, formulate recommendations and proposals for improving the stability of its functioning in a crisis. The paper drew attention to the fact that during the war the needs of clients and lawyers changed, in particular, security needs and physiological needs became priority, the number of clients decreased, so a significant part of the lawyer profession was on the verge of survival. A generalization of the practice of the functioning of the legal profession during a full-scale war allowed the author to define out the following general stages of its development: 1) shock; 2) survival; 3) restoration and gradual performance to pre-war indicators, expansion of potential. The article formulated practical recommendations for ensuring effective advocate’s activity, as well as maintaining the stability of the advocacy system during the war. The necessity of normative regulation of the obligation of the bodies of the advocate’s self-government to evacuate the relevant materials of office work was argued in the event of a declaration of a state of war or the introduction of martial law, the presence of a threat of military seizure of the community in which such a body is located. It was concluded that in the conditions of a full-scale war, the ukrainian advocacy experienced severe trials, which differed in geographical, chronological and sectoral aspects, while at the same time, the professional community demonstrated the existence of a sufficient resource of strength and institutional stability, for the further strengthening of which the need to amend the Law of Ukraine «On the advocacy and advocate’s activity» was justified.
TEORIAS FEMINISTAS PÓS-ESTRUTURALISTAS: CONTRIBUIÇÕES PARA A INVESTIGAÇÃO DO DISCURSO JURÍDICO NO BRASIL
Authors: Baggenstoss Grazielly Alessandra , Toneli Maria Juracy Filgueiras , De Oliveira João Manuel Calhau
Published: March 2024

O artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar um panorama de propostas de teorias feministas que pensam o direito, apresentando o feminismo pós-estruturalista como uma matriz epistemológica útil para se estudar o discurso jurídico e para se refletir qual sujeito está sendo produzido, especialmente o sujeito mulher. Com uma proposta pós-estruturalista, utilizando-se como referências Judith Butler, Carol Smart e Alicia Ruiz, observa-se que o direito é uma tecnologia de gênero que produz uma subjetividade jurídica cis-heteronormativa racializada. Para tanto, esta pesquisa se estrutura como uma revisão bibliográfica com uma proposta exploratória em que são reunidas matrizes epistemológicas idealistas e materialistas em contraponto com a pós-estruturalista e traz alguns exemplos do discurso jurídico brasileiro para essa reflexão. O presente trabalho mostra que a ideia do sujeito universal é ilusória e que produz efeitos políticos no campo jurídico e social, tendo como efeitos a limitação de possibilidade de ações de emancipação e produção do outro em posição hierarquicamente inferior à posição do sujeito identificado como hegemônico.

Authors: Debataraja Susy Marlyni , Wong Wing Keung , Pandiangan Cecilia Burju , Darsono Susilo Nur Aji Cokro
Published: March 2024

The growing fascination among Indonesians with Korean cuisine and the escalating usage of social media platforms has led to a significant reliance on electronic Word-of-Mouth (e-WOM) as a pivotal determinant for restaurant selection. This research aims to investigate the influence of e-WOM features, including Celebrity Endorsements, Influencer Recommendations, and Customer Reviews, on the purchase intentions of Indonesian consumers concerning Korean restaurants. Employing a deductive framework and quantitative methodologies, primary data collection was conducted. The findings underscore the paramount importance of Customer Reviews in shaping Indonesian consumers' decision-making processes when selecting Korean restaurants. These reviews are valued for their perceived authenticity and representation of diverse viewpoints, distinguishing them as credible and influential sources. In contrast, while Celebrity Endorsements and Influencer Recommendations influence consumer attitudes and perceptions, they do not significantly impact purchase intentions. This study provides valuable insights into the dynamics of e-WOM's influence on the Indonesian culinary landscape, with a specific emphasis on Korean restaurants. These findings hold practical significance for restaurant operators and marketers who leverage e-WOM to effectively engage and cater to diverse consumer segments within the Indonesian market.
Textbook of Medical Biochemistry
Authors: Singh Amit Kumar
Published: March 2024

Biochemistry terms were first introduced by Carl Neuberg in 1903. The field of biochemistry encompasses the chemistry of life and living processes. It is not an exaggeration to state that the scope of biochemistry is as extensive as life itself. Every facet of life—birth, growth, reproduction, aging, and death—involves intricate biochemical processes. Indeed, every movement in life is characterized by numerous biochemical reactions. Biochemistry stands out as the most rapidly advancing and innovative subject in the field of medicine. 
The discipline of biochemistry serves as a guiding light, enabling us to explore the intricate complexities of biology and unravel the chemical mysteries of life. Biochemical research consistently reveals that all living organisms are closely interconnected at the molecular level. Therefore, biochemistry serves as a unifying subject within the diverse living kingdom.
Advancements in biochemistry exert a profound impact on human welfare and significantly contribute to improving the quality of life.

Published: March 2024

Host-pathogen interactions play an important role in understanding the dynamics of the insect immune system. The analysis of environmental modulators, both biotic and abiotic, directs our attention to the impact of the surroundings on the effectiveness of immunological responses. This knowledge is essential for the comprehensive understanding of insect’s immune reaction after infection with a pathogen. This article discusses the role of the immune system in insect, with a special emphasis on greater wax moth Galleria mellonella and highlights its adaptive capabilities. The processes are not only extremely interesting area of scientific research but also indicate potential practical applications in the context of plan protection, pest population control and medicine.
The double-stranded microRNA precursor
Authors: Scarfiello Elisabetta , Eichlinger Julian , Meister Gunter
Published: March 2024

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are generated from stem-loop-structured double-stranded RNA precursors by the consecutive action of the two RNase III-type endoribonuclease Drosha and Dicer. However, such structures are very common on cellular transcripts and specific features have evolved that guide and regulate processing of stem-loop-structured hairpins into mature and functional miRNAs. These features include sequence motifs and local RNA structures but also trans-acting factors such as RNA binding proteins. The menu of features required for miRNA biogenesis is summarized in this review.

RESISTANCE OF COMPRESSED CONCRETE TO LONG-TERM LOADS
Authors: Romashko-Maistruk Olena Vasylivna , Romashko Vasyl Mykolayovych
Published: March 2024

This article deals with the main  regularities and features of  compressed concrete deformation  under the action of long-term loads.  The main efforts are aimed at  establishing an analytical dependence  on determining the long-term  strength  level of compressed concrete. A critical analysis of the currently  existing dependencies based on its  calculation was carried out. These studies are based on the general provisions and hypotheses of the  previously developed energy model of concrete and reinforced concrete  deformation.The defining hypothesis of the specific  potential energy invariance of the  concrete ultimate deformation (destruction) and its independence from the loading mode of the concrete itself was used. The specific potential energy of compressed concrete  deformation at the moment of its  destruction under three loading modes is considered: instantaneous dynamic, standardized short-term and long-term. The level of compressed concrete long-term strength is related to the dynamic increase factor limit values (DIFu) under the instantaneous loading mode. In turn, the compressed  concrete dynamic increase factor is functionally related to the generally recognized coefficient of compressed concrete standardized elastic-plastic properties under a short-term loading regime. In this way, the functional dependence of the level of compressed concrete long-term strength was obtained not only on its standardized elastic-plastic characteristics, but also on the rate of concrete deformation or on the rate of its loading. The  evaluation of the proposed  methodology for determining the level of compressed concrete long-term  strength is reduced to a comparison of the relevant theoretical calculations results with the various researchers’ published experimental data.
PARTICLE-SIZE DISTRIBUTION ASSESSMENT OF THE RECYCLED AGGREGATES FROM CONCRETE REMAINS

Published: March 2024

The reuse of the remainders of  destroyed concrete structures is  becoming more and more urgent  problem not only in Ukraine, but also in the whole world. According to the  current strategy of secondary use of  resources, concrete waste is either  crushed into recycled aggregate as a  substitute for natural aggregate or  crushed into recycled powder as a  substitute for cement in mortar and  concrete. The reuse of construction  waste as secondary construction  materials can reduce the need for  natural resources for construction and  free areas from accumulated  construction debris. The purpose of  the  work is to evaluate the particle  size  composition of aggregates  obtained from recycled concrete of  waste reinforced concrete railway  sleepers. To achieve the goal, the  following tasks were set: to grind of  sleeper waste in various ways; to  determine the granulometric  composition of coarse and fine  aggregates; compare the obtained  data with the standard requirements  for concrete aggregates. Destroyed  reinforced concrete railway sleepers  were used as material for research.  After removing the reinforcement, the  sleeper parts were first loaded into a  jaw crusher with a fixed distance  between the working plates at 20 mm. The obtained material was reloaded  into a drum mill and grinded for 30  minutes. After that, the mixture was  unloaded on a standard set of sieves  to  determine the particle size  distribution. As a result of an  experimental study of crushed waste  of  reinforced concrete sleepers, the  following was established. The  granulometric composition of particles  larger than 5 mm meet the  requirements for coarse aggregates to  produce concrete mixtures. Fractions  with particle sizes less than 5 mm are  very fine with a fineness modulus at  0.9  which does not meet the  requirements for fine aggregates to  produce concrete mixtures. Further  research will be aimed at studying  other properties that determine the  possibility of using aggregates for  reuse in concrete mixes, namely  moisture content, average density,  compressive strength, etc. Also, the  ways for usage of fine fractions as  fillers will be search for other building  materials in order to dispose of  crushed concrete waste.
