IS THE IMMUNITY PASSPORT POLICY DISCRIMINATORY?
Authors: Macuga Maciej
Published: February 2025

Immunity passports (IPs) were one of the most important policies aiming at public health protection during the COVID-19 pandemic. In the discussion regarding this policy, several ethical, legal, and philosophical objections have been raised that seem to put the legal and moral permissibility of IPs into question. One of those concerns is the main topic of the proposed analysis, namely the one that suggests that IPs have a discriminatory character. The primary purpose of the paper is to investigate, develop, and evaluate intuitions behind the mentioned concern in light of the current philosophical understanding of discrimination. These intuitions have been extracted from the general discussion on the policy in question and classified into three separate arguments: direct discrimination, indirect discrimination, and discrimination in a global perspective. The author will claim that the first argument is prima facie sound, with two strategies of counter-argumentation identified; the second argument is sound, although the scope of its application remains partially undetermined; and the third argument is not sound, as it does not involve a threat of discrimination.
THE TAIL THAT WAGS THE DOG, OR HOW JUDGES RULE IN HARD CASES
Authors: Sielski Krzysztof
Published: February 2025

This article aims at answering a question about the influence of intuition and emotions on the decision-making process of judges who rule in hard cases. This influence seems much more considerable than traditional decision-making models adopted in legal science, according to which a judge reaches a final decision by way of rational legal reasoning guided by principles of logic, life experience, and common sense whereas any emotions that might appear in the process should be controlled. This article presents an alternative concept arguing that in hard cases judges make fast, intuitive decision based on non-rational criteria and legal reasoning is merely an element of secondary rationalization which serves the purpose of post-factum justification of a decision made previously. The author argues this thesis drawing on the work of one of the most distinguished modern moral psychologists, Jonathan Haidt.
DO WE HAVE AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE CRITERIALIST VIEW OF PERSONHOOD?
Authors: Graboń Wojciech
Published: February 2025

The main aim of this paper is to assess various contemporary methodological approaches to the definition of personhood from the perspective of legal theory. The criterialist point of view is undoubtedly the dominant one in contemporary analytic philosophy. It assumes that our classification of entities that can be characterized as persons follows from their fulfilment of certain necessary and sufficient conditions. This kind of approach stems from a series of questions about the nature of personhood that have been analysed at least since Locke, and has found its contemporary articulation (more or less explicitly) in the work of authors such as Frankfurt, Dennett, French or Goodman. However, the shortcomings of this approach have been exposed by Chappell. Social constructionism may be considered the main alternative, but this group of positions has also been the subject of some persuasive criticism, e.g., by Wiggins. Drawing on Millikan and Bach, I argue that a viable alternative would require a modification of certain ontological assumptions about the classification of real kinds and the specificity of socially constructed entities.

Authors: Mohamad Tawpik Nur Hannan Najihah , Ahmad Mizher Hussam Abdeljabar , Zaini Syahrir
Published: February 2025

Introduction: Hypertension and its complications are massive global health issues.  Major limitations in hypertensive patients’ treatment include suboptimal blood pressure control and nonadherence to medication. The popularity of telemedicine has risen in recent years. Mobile phone applications intervention in particular, provides features including medication-taking, refilling reminders, and biometric results tracker resulting in better health outcomes and improved medication adherence. This review aims to assess the effectiveness of mobile application in improving adherence in hypertensive patients. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Cochrane Library were searched with filters applied for studies published between 2013 and 2023 and content published in English with the keywords; telemedicine, mobile apps, medication adherence, and hypertension. These keywords were joined using Boolean operators for an effective search. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Statement was followed for this systematic review. The Mixed Method Appraisal Tool was used to assess the quality of the included studies. The data was extracted by the authors and validated by another for accuracy and completeness. Results: Twelve studies ranging from moderate to high quality were included in this review. A total of 10 studies showed a statistically significant improvement (p < 0.001) in medication adherence with mobile apps intervention. The combined apps features from the mobile apps empower patients to be more adherent, involved and informed about their treatment progress. Conclusion: Hypertensive patients’ medication adherence improved with mobile apps intervention. However, the heterogeneity of adherence measurement methods and apps functionality in the included studies calls for further studies to determine the effectiveness of specific mobile apps feature as well as the standardisation of the adherence measurement method used.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) develops in approximately 40% of patients with diabetes. The prevalence of CKD in Malaysia is 9.07% among adults. It is important to obtain accurate local data on CKD among patient with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) patients to facilitate health-care planning including the review of health-care priorities, program activities, and allocation of resources. The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of CKD among DM. We further explored the association between glycaemic control, eGFR and adverse outcomes (cardiovascular events, hospitalizations, and kidney failure) among these patients. Materials and method: This is a retrospective cohort study involving 91 DM patients who received treatment in Hospital Jitra, Kedah, Malaysia. Patients’ demographic data, comorbidities, history of hospital admission, medications, complication, and laboratory test results were retrieved from their medical record. Descriptive and inferential statistics have been used to analyse the data. Results: 60.4% of the patients were female and 85.7% Malay with mean age of 62.15 years old. Hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and heart disease were the most common comorbidities among them; 92.3%, 78.0%, and 23.1%, respectively. The prevalence of CKD among DM in Hospital Jitra was 38.46%. 20.9% of the patients experienced diabetic complications and 49.5% showed a progression of kidney disease. The results indicate a high percentage of poor glycaemic control among DM in Hospital Jitra; 69%-100% of the patients had HbA1c >7% at each visit and this is associated with CKD (P=0.042). Conclusion: The prevalence of CKD among DM patients at Hospital Jitra was 38.46%. Higher HbA1c was associated with CKD in adults with type DM, suggesting that improving glycaemic control may reduce the risk of CKD.

Published: February 2025

Introduction: Enhancing the therapeutic efficacy of active pharmaceutical ingredients requires addressing the persistent challenge of improving their solubility. Alpha-mangostin (AM), a promising natural compound with various pharmacological properties, faces significant limitations due to its low aqueous solubility. This review focuses on evaluating solid-state modification (SSM) techniques developed to enhance AM solubility. It aims to identify the most effective SSM approaches, analyse their advantages, and provide insights for future research directions in addressing solubility challenges for poorly water-soluble compounds. Methods: This review article is based on a comprehensive analysis of the literature from databases like Scopus, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Springer, and PubChem, covering studies published in the past 15 years. Keywords such as "solubility," "alpha-mangostin," and "solubility improvement" were utilised, with a focus on scientific articles and reviews. Results: Several strategies, such as nanoparticle technology, particle size reduction, amorphous formation, and solid dispersion, have been used to enhance AM solubility. Solid dispersion with polyvinylpyrrolidone achieved the highest solubility (2743 ?g/mL), while the AM-chitosan-oleic acid complex using nanotechnology improved AM solubility to 160 ?g/mL, an 800-fold increase from 0.2 ?g/mL. Conclusion: The reviewed methods have significantly enhanced the aqueous solubility of AM, with solid dispersion and nanotechnology showing the most promising results. These findings highlight the potential of solubility enhancement strategies to optimise AM’s pharmaceutical applications and provide a framework for improving the bioavailability of other poorly water-soluble compounds. Future research should explore alternative methods, such as co-crystallisation and advanced nanotechnologies, to further enhance solubility and formulation efficiency.

Published: February 2025

Introduction. A favorable educational environment – social, cultural, biological, and physical – plays a crucial role in achieving children’s academic goals. The educational environment increases children’s interest in learning. It fosters a positive attitude among children and contributes to enhancing their sense of security. However, the reality is that preschools and secondary education institutions face challenges related to administration, academic performance, attendance, and health. All these issues belong to environmental challenges.
Goals. This study examines the environmental challenges faced by preschools and secondary education institutions in the Katima Mulilo district, outlines possible solutions, and provides further recommendations. The research questions guiding this study were as follows: What are the environmental challenges faced by a kindergarten and a school? How do these environmental challenges affect learners and teachers at the kindergarten and a school? What can be done to tackle these environmental challenges at the kindergarten and a school?
Methods. A qualitative research approach was chosen as it is suitable for understanding human behavior, opinions, themes, or motivations. This method is appropriate for this study because participants were required to share their perspectives and express their thoughts about their school environment, allowing researchers to gather detailed experiences and feedback from the population. The study also employed the case study method. The context of this research focuses on the environmental challenges of preschools and schools, and the concepts and constructs derived from them helped provide a deeper understanding of the problem. Since this is a qualitative research project, data were collected through observation and interviews.
Conclusions. Preschools and schools face numerous environmental challenges, such as bush encroachment, poor sanitation, inadequate infrastructure, and overcrowded classrooms. It was also found that the severity of these problems was not fully recognized, resulting in very slow progress in addressing them. Effective learning is influenced not only by teachers and students but also by other participants in the educational process and the school environment. This study has contributed to identifying solutions to improve the academic atmosphere, from preschool to primary school.
Where are Our Educators?
Authors: Tunes Elizabeth , Ribeiro Prestes Zoia
Published: February 2025

In the present article we aim to examine some effects of social networks on human life. We describe events that were already analyzed by a few authors (Illich, 2006; Bartholo, 1986; Clarke, 2001; Fisher, 2023 and other). For exempl, a confessed Manichaeism was present in the initial vision of Max Fisher – a reporter for the New York Times – regarding social networks and digital platforms, as he himself declared in the book The Chaos Machine (Fisher, 2023), which he published in 2022, translated into Portuguese, in 2023. Like many, at the beginning, he assumed that the dangers of social media came mainly from inappropriate use by malicious people – propagandists, spies, spreaders of fake news – and that, at worst, the platforms were a passive pipeline where the existing problems in society ran. We have known for a long time that the tools we create shape our psyche and are even at the origin of many psychological functions that we highly value. We also know that some tools engender actual cultural transformations (in this regard, see, for example, the social and cultural transformation caused by the invention of alphabetical order in Illich (2002). Despite this, it is curious to note that we behave as if we were immune to the effects of the instruments we create, refusing to admit that they can bring about true revolutions, whether on a cultural level or at the individual level of our psychological structure and functioning. We try to outline short and medium-term effects on people’s relationships and their consequences for individual mental functioning and structure, as well as possible repercussions and consequences for political and social life. We try to outline possible consequences of this new way of life on intellectual and personality development of children and we also manifest our surprise at the absence of our educators in the debate on this issue.

Результати. Аналіз теоретичного та емпіричного матеріалу дозволив констатувати істотні відмінності в освітньому процесі в онлайн та офлайн середовищі. Було встановлено вплив технічної специфіки на психологічні умови існування в інтернеті, проаналізовано зміни пізнавальної сфери в умовах кіберпростору, наголошено на змінах психіки цифрового покоління, зокрема у роботі сенсорних систем, сприйнятті часу та простору, станах розсіяності та постійної завантаженості уваги, кліповому мисленні, феноменах в роботі довготривалої пам’яті, формуванні специфічного гібридного усно-письмового типу мовлення.
Висновки. Інтернет має важливе значення у розвитку представників цифрового покоління дошкільного віку. Проте використання інтернет-технологій часто відбувається за умови повного або часткового ігнорування специфіки інтернет-середовища та особливостей психіки цифрового покоління, що призводить до зниження якості такої освіти. Тож наразі існує соціальний запит щодо розробки критеріїв ефективності сучасної освіти з урахуванням актуальної інформації про зміни психіки представників цифрового покоління, специфіки кіберсередовища та гібридного поєднання онлайн та офлайн освіти.
LGBTfobia e saúde mental: O impacto do preconceito sob a perspectiva cognitivo-comportamental
Authors: Trujillo Alejandro , Bertulino Tatiana
Published: February 2025

O estudo visou compreender o impacto da LGBTfobia na saúde mental a partir do entendimento da Terapia Cognitivo-Comportamental sobre o processamento cognitivo, assim como a relevância das casas de acolhimento LGBTQIA+ na contenção dos danos ocasionados pelo preconceito. Foram realizadas entrevistas individuais, no formato online, aplicadas junto a questionários semi-estruturados. A pesquisa contou com 5 participantes de uma casa de acolhimento voltada para este público, localizada em Manaus, Amazonas. Como resultado, foi constatado que uma vivência cercada pela LGBTfobia favorece o desenvolvimento de distorções cognitivas e desestabilizações emocionais. Nesse sentido, as casas de acolhimento, além de abrigar, promovem ações favoráveis para a integração social, contenção dos danos psicológicos e a construção de novas perspectivas de vida. Também atestamos a necessidade de fortalecer essas iniciativas e ampliar as possibilidades de atuação psicológica para atender as demandas dos usuários e das equipes multiprofissionais.

Exploring the Impacts of Social Capital on Public Political Participation: An Empirical Examination of Balochistan, Pakistan
Authors: Mangi Shah Nawaz , Shaheen Mubashra
Published: February 2025

John Stuart Mill's assertion that democracy may not be viable in non-European countries gains traction when examining public political participation in Baluchistan. The fertile land of Baluchistan seems unfertile for democracy due to its absolute tribal system, scattered population, and societal stagnation. The present research was conducted while considering these factors. In this regard, 460 useful samples were analyzed through Statistical Package for Social Sciences and Analysis of Moment Structures version 24.0. The study finds that social capital is one of the most significant variables that can increase public political participation and psychological involvement in national affairs. It offers a robust conceptualization for the political agents, and parties of Baluchistan for developing the civic sense and norms of reciprocity towards political participation among the people. This study offers the best option of public participation in politics to achieve economic, and social development and prosperity in society.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF COMPOSITION INTERPOLATION WITH TRADITIONAL METHODS
Authors: Pavlenko Olexander
Published: February 2025

The composite method of interpolation is carried out by one-, two- and three-parameter point polynomials. This article compares only one-parameter point polynomials with traditional interpolation methods. It is emphasized that the equation of the composite curve (point polynomial) is formed relative to the base points of the original discretely presented curve. Around the equation of a point polynomial, one can choose one coordinate system from many possible ones that use parallel design. The selected coordinate system is necessary for carrying out calculations in coordinate form according to the point polynomial equation.In comparison with composite interpolation by point polynomials, cubic splines not normalized and normalized were considered. An analysis of Bézier curves was carried out regarding the possibility of their application for the formation of models using big data. The universality of B-splines and their ability to reduce the degree in relation to the number of points of the defining polygon are shown. Rational B-splines and non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS) are considered. We came to the conclusion that humanity has not invented anything better for the automated design and production system than NURBS curves. However, for large data models, point polynomials are better than NURBS curves, which create one-, two-, and three-parameter composite geometric objects. Point polynomials with one equation, without segmentation in analytical form, describe geometric objects of arbitrary shape, according to predetermined conditions, which compositionally interpolate all interpolation nodes of the original discretely presented geometric object. At the same time, the functional basis - characteristic functions of point polynomials are formed by parametrizing the frame of points of the original discrete object, that is, all its geometric features are taken into account. Examples of comparing the graphs of traditional cubic spline and B-spline polynomials with the graph of a point polynomial are provided, their analysis is carried out, and an explanation of these graphs is provided.
GRAPHIC INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES IN THE VISUALIZATION OF MANIFOLDS FOR TECHNICAL SYSTEM STATE SPACES
Authors: Gumen Olena , Liaskovska Solomiia , Martyn Yevhen , Smakovska Ganna
Published: February 2025

The study of objects, processes and phenomena of various origins and purposes involves computer visualization of the obtained results with the involvement of graphic means. Most applications are implemented by dependencies in a two-dimensional coordinate system, but with measurements of many significant parameters. The geometric interpretation of the results in the multidimensional state space allows both to justify the choice of the required number of mutually independent parameters for the formation of a multispace curve line as a graph of the transition process, and to obtain additional dependencies between variable parameters that are difficult to experimentally investigate. In four-dimensional space, three curves as dependencies between four parameters serve as guides for three-dimensional cylinders, the mutual intersection of which forms a four-space curved line as a process graph. By reverse projection into the remaining three two-dimensional planes, we obtain three more additional dependencies between the four parameters. Other types of interrelationships of parameters require additional research.The involvement of graphic computer technologies provides an opportunity to take into account a large number of process parameters of systems of various origins. The results of experimental studies of processes in systems are given, in particular, by equations, the parameters of which belong to subspaces of different dimensions of the multidimensional Euclidean space covering the current state of the system. Considering that a multi-space curved line serves as a process graph in general, a scientific investigation regarding the geometric interpretation of its formation, taking into account the dependencies of an arbitrary number of parameters that form a multi-space curved line as a process graph, deserves attention. When forming a geometric model of the object under study, it is rational to choose the number of assumptions that allow you to determine the dimensionality of the encompassing Euclidean space for computer visualization.The purpose of the article is to substantiate by geometrical means algorithms for the formation of multi-spatial curved lines as models of processes in systems of various purposes.
PARAMETRIC OPTIMIZATION OF FORCED FREQUENCIES OF OSCILLATION OF A DOUBLE-CONNECTED CONED SHELL OF MINIMUM SURFACE UNDER THERMAL LOADING
Authors: Ivanchenko Grigory , Kosheviy Oleksandr
Published: February 2025

The modern development of technology leads to an intensive growth of static and dynamic loads that act on the structure, machine parts, devices, individual structures and shells.Conventional methods of construction and applied mechanics are designed to determine the characteristics of the stress-strain state (efforts, displacements, etc.) of various structural elements with known geometric parameters of the structures and physical and mechanical properties of the materials from which they are made. The main goal in designing is precisely to choose such geometric and physical and mechanical characteristics of the structure, which, under a given load, satisfied the needs of strength, rigidity, and stability, and were optimal.In the theory of optimal design, the problem of determining the shape, calculation scheme, and internal properties of the structure is considered, in which extremes (minimum or maximum) of the selected characteristics of the structure occur under additional restrictions. The main stage in solving the problem of optimal design of deformed systems is the choice of a mathematical model of the system itself and a model of its material. The solution of the mathematical model is reduced to the search for the unknown vector of variables X ̅, which determines the geometric and physical characteristics of the system, under the condition of the minimum of the target function F(X ̅)→min. The optimization calculation of the parametric optimization of the two-link conical shell of the minimum surface has the following parameters: the objective function is the weight of the shell material, the design variables are from 1 to 200 mm, the limit is presented in the form of the first forced oscillation frequency of 0.40 Hz. After the optimization calculation, the following results were obtained: a reduction in the weight of the minimum surface shell by 25.3%, a redistribution of the shell thickness from 4.3 mm to 50.2 mm, the first forced oscillation frequency is 0.4 Hz, which is represented by the limit.The author's methodology and the use of his own software make it possible to perform an effective optimization calculation for shells of minimal surfaces, and the use of two types of optimization on one research object is an important applied problem for construction and applied mechanics

This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results indicate that BKKPD has met the substantive requirements, which include operational duties and the provision of semi commercial services for the public. The technical requirements in the eligibility criteria have also been met, covering the potential for improving service delivery effectiveness and technical specifications directly related to public services. However, in the potential criteria, further study is needed to identify potential services that BKKPD can develop after transitioning to BLUD status. The financial management flexibility provided by BLUD is expected to support BKKPD in performing its duties more responsively and adaptively to conservation needs and public services. These findings are expected to assist the North Maluku Provincial Government in assessing BKKPD's readiness to transform into a BLUD and enhance the benefits of its services to the community.

Sector Indonesian tourism is also obliged to implement draft marketing to survive and make a real contribution to state income. The digital era, of course, produces a shift for many sectors, including its impact on the tourism sector, so the marketing concept must be able to follow changes in the behavior of tourists as consumers, which is related to experience travel. This study uses the studies' bibliography to explore the relationship between implementing new wave marketing and performance marketing and memorable tourism experiences. A total of 108 selected articles contributing to this research were searched using Publish and Perish with the electronic databases Scopus, Semantic Scholar, and Google Scholar in the publication range from 2014 to 2023. The study results show that no special studies directly linked study topics as variables within the scope of the tourism sector and other related sectors. However, the three study topics show a relationship where applied marketing tends to be legacy marketing oriented. Apart from that, no studies link function moderation or intervention from experience travel with concept marketing and performance marketing. This finding is a contribution and angle that looks new to marketing research tourists in the future.

This research was to find out how Islamic financial behavior influences perceptions of KUR and also digital financial inclusion as an intervening variable. KUR (People's Business Credit) is a financing program provided to MSMEs as a form of support from the Indonesian government. KUR is credit given to MSMEs that are not yet bankable but have potential for working capital and investment purposes. However, the number of MSMEs using KUR is still below the Indonesian government's target. The research used a mixed method with a sample size of 150 respondents consisting of MSMEs in Tasikmalaya. The research results show that Islamic financial behavior has a significant influence on the perception of KUR, Islamic financial behavior has a significant influence on digital financial inclusion, and Islamic financial through digital financial inclusion has a significant influence on the perception of KUR in Tasikmalaya MSMEs. This shows that the government must be able to increase digital financial inclusion and have some Sharia-based KUR concepts

The carbon exchange is a regulatory system that governs Carbon Trading and maintains records of Carbon Unit ownership. This study empirically examines the influence of carbon intensity, tax avoidance, and macroeconomic stability on carbon disclosure. The population for this research consists of companies in the Mining, Petroleum, Agriculture, and Basic Industries and Chemicals sectors listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2022 period. Data collection involved accessing the official IDX website, www.idx.co.id, and the individual websites of the companies. Using the purposive sampling method, 132 samples were selected to ensure relevance and alignment with the study’s criteria. The research employs logistic regression analysis as the method of data analysis to assess the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The findings reveal that macroeconomic stability positively influences carbon disclosure practices, while neither carbon intensity nor tax avoidance has a significant effect on carbon disclosure. These results contribute to understanding the factors that drive carbon disclosure and provide insight into the role of economic conditions in shaping corporate sustainability practices

This study analyzes air pollution concentration and its determinants in ten countries with the highest levels of air pollution from 2010 to 2020. Air pollution has become a global issue affecting both human health and the environment. The study uses secondary data and applies two analytical tools: a concentration index to identify countries with the highest air pollution levels, and panel data regression to analyze its determinants. Air pollution is proxied by CO2 emissions. The results indicate that eight out of ten countries have a concentration index greater than one, with Japan, South Korea, and Germany ranking as the top three countries with the highest air pollution concentrations. The population variable has a positive and significant impact on air pollution concentration in these countries. Conversely, the energy consumption variable has a negative and significant effect on air pollution concentration. On the other hand, economic growth does not have a significant effect on air pollution concentration. The study's implications highlight the need for a transition to more efficient and renewable energy sources as a crucial step in reducing the negative impacts of air pollution. Stricter environmental policies and increased investments in eco-friendly technologies are highly recommended to address this issue

Purpose: Fertility rate, defined as the average number of children born during an individual's reproductive years, remains a global public health concern. Over the past 4 years, Ethiopia's political landscape, particularly in the Tigray, has changed, given the devastating war in the region. These hostilities severely damaged the region's health system. While war has multi-dimensional consequences on population dynamics, it remains unclear if fertility in the region was affected.
Originality: This study aimed to understand the fertility status before or after the war in Tigray which is the first of its kind.
Methodology: A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2023 and March 2024 in three administrative zones of the Tigray region, including 935 study participants. A stratified multistage sampling method was employed, and data were collected via structured interviews using the Open Data Kit and analyzed using Stata version 14. Poisson regression was used to examine fertility as the outcome variable. The ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Review Board of Mekelle University’s College of Health Sciences.
Result: The survey showed that the average fertility rate of the region was 4.6 (urban, 6.4; rural, 4.2). Fertility was higher among women aged 35-49 years, and in those age at first marriage ≥26.
Conclusions and Implication: Post-war fertility showed an increase compared to the pre-war fertility. Women’s age and age at first marriage were significant fertility determinants. It is essential to implement socially appropriate, universally accessible services to reduce fertility and establish regulations to protect the health and well-being of reproductive-age group women by delaying marriage.
