Content of the contract as a type of employment contract
Authors: Vereitin S. V.
Published: September 2023

The current state of legal regulation of mandatory and additional terms of employment contracts and contracts in Ukraine has been studied and its shortcomings have been identified. It has been specified that a rather long legislative uncertainty regarding mandatory and additional terms of an employment contract and the current conflict of legislation on this issue have led to the existence of different positions in the science of labour law regarding the terms of an employment contract. Scientists’ views on the essence of the content of an employment contract have been analysed.

It has been proven that the terms of the employment contract should be considered the terms that are drawn up by its parties. Traditionally, such conditions in labor law are divided into mandatory and additional. The terms of the employment contract are recognized as mandatory, without which the content of the employment contract or contract cannot be considered concluded. Those without which the conclusion of an employment contract or contract is possible are considered additional.

Mandatory and additional terms of the contract have been defined. Mandatory terms of the contract are: place of work; labor function; the moment of the start of the work and the duration of the contract; rights and duties; terms and amount of remuneration; financial support of the employee; labor organization; responsibilities of the parties; terms of termination of the contract. Additional terms of the contract are: term and conditions of the trial; non-disclosure of commercial secrets and other legally protected information; frequency and duration of professional training, retraining and advanced training of the employee; improvement of working conditions, industrial life and recreation; medical and sanatorium provision; social and household benefits and social and cultural services. There is a well-founded need to supplement the Code of Labor Laws of Ukraine with Article 21-2 “Content of the employment contract and contract”, in which mandatory and additional conditions of the employment contract and contract shall be established.
The concept and current state of legal regulation on staffing of the State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine
Authors: Sverdlin K. Yu.
Published: September 2023

Ukraine has been reforming the penitentiary system for several years in order to humanise and bring it in line with European standards, and even today, in the face of a full-scale Russian military invasion, the processes of transformation and improvement of this system in our country have not stopped, as evidenced by the emergence of an updated strategic course for further changes and development of the national penitentiary system. Over the past few years, important positive results have already been achieved on this path, but a number of problems remain unresolved, slowing down the reform process and the achievement of its goals.

It has been noted that a proper transformation of the penitentiary system of Ukraine is impossible without improving the mechanism of the staffing of the State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine, the effectiveness of which, in turn, depends on the state of legal regulation of the social relations which are part of the above-mentioned staffing process. Scientific approaches to the definition of the concept of legal regulation, understanding of its essence, characteristic features and role in the organisation of public life have been considered. The author’s own definition of legal regulation of staffing of the State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine has been formulated. It has been emphasised that the central place in the regulation of relations concerning this staffing is assigned to administrative law, since these relations are mainly of a managerial nature.

The state of legislative regulation on staffing of the State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine has been analysed and its problematic aspects have been highlighted. It has been noted that there are no clearly defined conceptual foundations for the organisation and implementation of staffing of the State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine at the legislative level. Attention has been drawn to the scattering of norms on the issues of the said staffing in legal acts of various levels. And the author presents his own vision of possible steps to improve the regulatory and legal framework for staffing the State Criminal Executive Service of Ukraine.

Participation in OER Creation: A Trajectory of Values
Authors: Meger Erin , Freeman Wendy , Schwartz Michelle
Published: September 2023

This paper provides an analysis of interviews with seven faculty members who engaged in creating Open textbooks funded by government grants at a university in Canada in 2018. Using four values—access and equity, community and connection, agency and ownership, and risk and responsibility—identified by Sinkinson (2018), McAndrew (2018), and Keyek-Fransen (2018), we traced the ways in which university faculty members’ understanding of Open changed through the process of Open Educational Resource creation. As a teaching support-focused unit, we explore ways to provide our faculty and instructors with meaningful opportunities to develop their Open pedagogy. These findings reconceive the way that Open Educational Practice can be promoted at our University and others. Instead of focusing solely on OER creation, our faculty started engaging in thinking through the different conceptions of Open educational practice and identifying which concepts resonated with them. By reframing the ways in which faculty thought about Open Educational Practices, we have been better able to address the ways in which we support them.
Malleable Matter: Adaptable and Responsive Space
Authors: Klassen Filiz
Published: September 2023

This paper is an investigation of the recent research and developments on high performance textiles, smart textiles and hybrid materials. The term high-performance connotes the designed or enhanced properties that improve the materials performance in specific conditions but stay fixed or static in response to external stimuli. The term smart, or intelligent refers to materials that change their properties in response to varying thermal, luminous, acoustic or structural stimuli. although the terms ‘fabric’ and ‘textile’ are used in construction and resemble the properties of ‘cloth’ with natural fibers (such as cotton, wool and silk), high-performance or smart textiles are engineer with synthetic fibers (such as nylon, polyester, carbon and glass fibers), special  coatings, embedded technology, sensors and electronics. Many other composite materials that are flexible and layered are termed as hybrid materials as they share properties of the originating materials such as textiles and plastics. These materials have the potential for weaving a new direction towards materiality in design and construction. 
Weathering Architecture
Authors: Klassen Filiz
Published: September 2023

Weathering Architecture seeks to initiate a dialogue on climate change, architecture and material innovations involving local citizens. Architecture is the protagonist in the performance and the exhibition that brings together video and sound projections, spoken word, and design prototypes to capture the interaction between architecture, people and the atmospheric conditions that surround them. It is structured around the question of how we, as inhabitants of large cities, can reconstruct a positive cycle of events to alter the negative impact of urban development on the natural environment. Using the elements of weather as a vehicle to question and reveal our built environments’ impact on climate change and energy consumption, the narrative focuses on subversion of 

the current architectural debate from mega cultural infrastructure projects to local speculations about how we are building in the near and distant future.

Weblogging as a part of academic practice: Reflections on graduate students’ early experiences
Authors: Freeman Wendy , Brett Clare , Dixon Julie , Kostuch Lynn , MacKinnon M , McPherson Gloria , Paradine Amy , Qiu Mingzhu , Symington Doug
Published: September 2023

Weblogs are being used for a range of purposes in education. To support learning, pedagogical and technological implementation issues need to be informed by user experience. In this paper we present the early experiences of nine graduate students who used weblogs during a three month period to support their academic progress. An analysis of participant reflections regarding their expectations, processes, and outcomes from using the weblogs are presented. Generally, participants indicated that they considered the weblog environment to be journal-like and suitable for reflection, and while they found the public nature of the internet inhibiting, they recognized that there was value in publishing their ideas. The perceived lack of interaction was also a factor that constrained value for the participants. Given time, participants recognized that keeping a weblog might prove worthwhile for individual development through writing. Implications for how to make a weblog environment more conducive to the social and developmental needs of graduate students are suggested.

Overall Equipment Effectiveness Prediction with Multiple Linear Regression for Semi-automatic Automotive Assembly Lines
Authors: Dobra Péter , Jósvai János
Published: September 2023

In the field of industry, especially in the production areas, it is particularly important that the monitoring of assembly efficiency takes place in real-time mode, and that the related data-based estimation also works quickly and reliably. The Manufacturing Execution System (MES), Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems used by companies provide excellent support in data recording, processes, and storing. For Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) data showing the efficiency of assembly lines, there is a regular need to determine expected values. This paper focuses on OEE values prediction with Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) as supervised machine learning. Many factors affecting OEE (e.g., downtimes, cycle time) are examined and analyzed in order to make a more accurate estimation. Based on real industrial data, we used four different methods to perform prediction with various machine learning algorithms, these were the cumulative, fix rolling horizon, optimal rolling horizon and combined techniques. Each method is evaluated based on similar mathematical formulas.

Authors: Boniar S. M , Kharchuk O. H
Published: September 2023

Methods. To achieve the outlined goal, a set of general scientific and specific methods of cognition were used, namely: analysis and comparison, synthesis and theoretical generalization – to determine the essence and role of digitization, namely the introduction of electronic document management in the activities of a transport enterprise; abstract-logical – when determining the factors that prevent the enterprise from switching to electronic document management and the reasons for the need for the switch; grapho-analytical – for a visual presentation of the obtained research results. Results. The authors substantiated in the article that digitization processes are taking place in Ukraine, namely the introduction of electronic document management in the activities of a transport enterprise, which will make it possible to reduce the number of divisions of the enterprise that deal with documentation, save time and financial resources, as well as achieve success and further strategic development by improving the quality of management, which helps to create a complete electronic system. There are determined factors that prevent the enterprise from switching to electronic document management (EDM), namely: employees of the enterprise and counterparties do not want to introduce innovations related to EDM, there is a possibility of hacking of the EDM system by competitors or criminals, and they believe that an electronic document has no legal value. The reasons for the company's transition to electronic document management are substantiated, which will make it possible: to perform work for employees remotely from the office or to be out of office; optimize imperfect communication and establish interaction with those clients whose documents were lost or damaged, comply with regulatory requirements for document management, optimize enterprise costs and prevent cyber threats. The stages of optimization of the EDO implementation process at the transport enterprise are analyzed and examples of the introduction of EDO into the accounting system of the transport, namely logistics enterprise are given. There is summarized the experience of international companies and the results of the transition to EDO, the use of which will lead to the digitalization of all processes of the transport enterprise. Novelty. The authors justified the processes of digitalization, namely the introduction of electronic document management in the activities of a transport enterprise to improve its work and improve the quality of management, which will help create a complete electronic system. Practical value. The obtained results can be used in the further implementation of electronic document flow in the activities of enterprises of various directions, which will help to more effectively use the resources of the enterprise and engage in its strategic development.

Methods. The results were obtained by applying the following methods: abstraction – in defining the essence of the concept of «youth entrepreneurship»; general and specific – in identifying the current features and problems of youth entrepreneurship at the global and national levels; structural and functional analysis – in clarifying the features and characteristics of youth employment policy in the EU countries. Results. The current trends and processes of youth entrepreneurship development in the EU countries and Ukraine are identified. The specific features of youth entrepreneurship are determined, which, on the one hand, are advantages and, on the other hand, are a threat to youth entrepreneurship. It is emphasized that the main stakeholders of youth entrepreneurship are the state, the social environment, the educational environment and the business environment itself. It is substantiated that youth entrepreneurship plays an important role in solving socio-economic problems, in particular, overcoming the youth unemployment crisis. It is established that in European countries, youth entrepreneurship policy is quite developed compared to entrepreneurship support for other inclusive target groups of business support. The necessity of state coordination and control of youth self-employment and entrepreneurship in the national economy is substantiated. Novelty. In the course of the study, the categorical and conceptual apparatus for the study of youth entrepreneurship was improved. Through a systematic analysis of the features of youth entrepreneurship, it was found that young people have a positive attitude towards entrepreneurial activity and have a desire to engage in this activity in the context of the latest forms of business and their support by institutional structures. Practical value. It is proposed to take into account the experience of forming the youth policy of the European Union countries when developing a national strategy and forming a mechanism for promoting youth self-employment and supporting youth entrepreneurship.

Published: September 2023

Background: The intensity of the COVID-19 epidemic process in the administrative territories of Ukraine differs. Risk factors for the spread of this infection have not been sufficiently studied, which prevents the development of adequate preventive and anti-epidemic measures at the local level.
Objectives: Conduct an epidemiological analysis of the incidence of COVID-19 in the regions of the Northern part of Ukraine and identify the leading risk factors for spread.
Material and Methods: The incidence of COVID-19 was analyzed for 73 weeks and 28 predictors. Fourier’s spectral analysis, Feature Selection and Variable Filtering method of the Data mining module, Irwin’s method, integral visual coefficient was used.
Results. There were two rises in the incidence of COVID-19, the cyclicity was 18 - 24 weeks. The conditions for the spread of COVID-19 cases in the regions of the Northern part have been established, namely: the number of people and the elderly in the family, demographic and migration processes. Violation of regime-restrictive measures leads to abnormal rises in morbidity.
Conclusions. The epidemic situation in the Northern part remains volatile, as there are conditions for the spread of COVID-19 that cannot be eliminated, as well as some, that need to be developed (tourism, demographic processes, financing, etc.). Therefore, compliance with restrictive measures and vaccination of the population of the region remain the main preventive measures.

Background:Absorption of neutral amino acids across the intestinal cells is mediated by the broad neutral amino acid transporter B0AT1. Intestinal expression of B0AT1 depends on the coexistence with the membrane-attached angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) which binds to the B0AT1 or the sodium-dependent imino-acid transporter 1 (SIT1) in the intestinal epithelial cells.
Objectives:The objective of this article is to provide an overview of the involvement of ACE2 in the transport of amino acids from the intestinal lumen and possible harmful effects on health and nutrition due to altered ACE2 expression.
Methods: PubMed, Scopus, and Google Scholar were searched using the keywords ACE2 paired with intestinal and gut B0AT1, SIT1, amino acid transport or absorption, health, and nutrition. Expression of B0AT1 in the intestine was completely absent in ACE2 knockout mice. Lack of ACE2 and B0AT1 expression lead to low plasma and muscle tryptophan, niacin deficiency, decreased intestinal antimicrobial peptide, and increased susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease in animal models.
Results: Expression of ACE2 in the small intestine and its association with amino acid transporters play a crucial role in the absorption of amino acids, maintenance of structural and functional gut integrity and overall health and nutrition status of an individual.

Published: September 2023

Primary plasma cell leukaemia (pPCL) is a rare and lethal form of plasma cell dyscrasia that can occur either de novo (primary) or as a leukemic transformation of refractory or relapsed multiple myeloma. We report a case of pPCL with lambda light chain disease and multiple chromosomal abnormalities in a 75-year-old female who presented with generalized weakness. Her peripheral blood smear showed hyperleukocytosis with 78% circulating plasma cells. Serum protein electrophoresis (SPE) does not reveal the M band and serum immunofixation (SI) light chain analysis in serum showed an elevated lambda light chain. Skeletal radiography and PET-CT (positron emission tomography—computerized tomography) did not reveal any lytic lesions. Immunophenotypic studies reveal a CD38-positive population with negativity for T cells, B cells, myeloid markers, and a negative CD45. Fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis results disclosed the deletion of 13q14.3 and t(11; 14). This case highlighted the usefulness of the peripheral smear findings and high fluorescent lymphocyte activity, which directed the pathologist to initiate workup for pPCL, and comprehensive laboratory biochemical and radiological evaluation further helps to confirm and differentiate pPCL from multiple myeloma.

Published: September 2023

Background: Rothia mucilaginosa is appearing as an alarming pathogen for respiratory tract infection, infection of prosthetic devices and endocarditis. Over the past few years, Rothia sp. are frequently identified in a tertiary hospital of northern Bangladesh. Biochemical properties and antibiotic susceptibility pattern of the isolates were determined.
Methods: A total 22 isolates of R. mucilaginosa were studied to observe the fermentation status of carbohydrate and protein substrates for identification by using BD Phoenix M50 system. Antibiotic susceptibility was tested by disk diffusion method.
Results: All isolates of R. mucilaginosa showed variable reaction to almost 50% of the carbohydrate and around 50% of protein- amino acid substrates used. Amikacin, meropenem, imipenem and moxifloxacin showed maximum sensitivity in vitro.
Conclusion: Biochemical characteristics of R. mucilaginosa can reveal the vital information necessary for accurately identifying the organism within a sample. This depends on production of various enzymes by the organism. Antibiotic susceptibility test is essential for proper management of patient.

Introduction: Overweight and obesity caused by excess body fat accumulation is a leading public health problem globally. The objective of this study was to investigate the overweight and obesity prevalence and its accompanying factors among educational office staff in Kuantan, Malaysia.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among the staff of Widad University College (WUC) and Widad College (WC) using a self-administered validated questionnaire. Socio-demographic characteristics of the participants and obesity-related health information such as body mass index (BMI), smoking, alcoholics, physical activities and blood pressure status were obtained. The BMI was determined considering the participants weight in kilograms (kg) divided by the square of height in meters (kg/m2). Correlating the BMI with sociodemographic and health-related factors, the participants were characterized as underweight, normal, overweight and obese and presented as mean, frequency and percentage distribution. A p-value of <0.05 means a statistically significant result.
Results: Overweight prevalence was 28.3% while obesity was 16.2 %. There were 13% of respondents underweight. A higher rate was found in males and Malay participants. Age, education, occupation, income, smoking, alcoholics, physical inactivity and hypertension were significantly linked to BMI.
Conclusions: Overweight and obese constitute around 44% of the staff at WUC and WC, while 13 % were underweight. It is necessary to motivate employees through an effective training program organized by the employer towards maintaining a healthy lifestyle and thereby maintaining good health and improving work performance.

Published: September 2023

Objectives: Undescended testes or cryptorchidism is a disorder in men and is associated with hypogonadism and infertility. UDT is the majority factor in male adults. Studies on the effects of UDT on hormoneassociated hypogonadism are limited.
Materials and Methods: This study aimed to assess the effects of UDT on fertility and testicular hormonal function in adult men. Data from medical records were gathered, laboratory tests, and retrospective interviews from 2018 to 2020. The independent variable was men with UDT, while the dependent variable was fertility and reproductive hormones that trigger hypogonadism. Data on infertility, reproductive hormones, semen analysis, and symptoms of hypogonadism from 20 patients with and without UDT. ANOVA, Kruskal-Wallis test, Pearson chi-square test, and Fisher’s exact test helped perform the analysis.
Results and Discussion: Undescended testes were associated with infertility so that levels of FSH and LH were considerably greater than men without UDT (p < 0.05). Bilateral UDT men had the highest levels of FSH and LH but not significantly different from unilateral UDT (p > 0.05). Bilateral UDT men had the lowest mean estradiol, testosterone and sperm quality (p < 0.05). All men had prolactin and AMH levels within normal limits (p > 0.05). Men with UDT had more significant hypogonadal symptoms (p < 0.001)
Conclusion: Infertility, FSH, and LH levels were highest in men with bilateral UDT, but testosterone and estradiol levels were lowest. It also has the worst sperm quality and the most hypogonadal symptoms. All of the men had normal prolactin and AMH levels.
