The aim of the article is to analyze the metaetic theory of emotivism. In the first part we present a division of metaetic theories. In the second part we reflect the historical-philosophical background of emotivistic ethics in the works of G. Berkeley, B. Spinoza and especially the morality of emotion by D. Huma. In the next part we discuss the most important statements of individual representatives of emotivism Ch. L. Stevenson and A. Ayer. In the last part, we try to critically evaluate the metaetic theory of emotivism, concluding that its acceptance in ethics leads to subjectivism and relativism.

Published: March 2022

-According to World Bank estimation 65.07% of Indian population reside in rural areas. In such areas, the health and wellbeing centers are mostly supplied by a national grid. So the power supply in such areas is not continuous and the quality is also low. This affects the diagnosis process which subsequently leads to delay in the entire health care. The aim of this study is to provide continuous and adequate power supply to such health care centers by combining solar PV and wind mill. This hybrid combination is intermittent in nature. In order to alleviate this nature and to elevate the power quality, a large number of battery units are added. The proposed model examines the feasibility of such scheme by using HOMER software; optimize the size by keeping the economics of the scheme at the center.

Authors: Nuñez Muñoz Carmen Gloria , González-Niculcar Bryan , Peña Ochoa Monica Alejandra , Ascorra Costa Paula Eugenia
Published: March 2022

El artículo presenta una investigación participativa con 6 escuelas rurales chilenas y se centra en los facilitadores y las barreras a la inclusión en el contexto de una educación altamente segregada, con un acelerado cierre de escuelas rurales y la nueva Ley de Inclusión, centrada en el acceso escolar. A través de talleres participativos con docentes y de metaanálisis del equipo, se llega a resultados que se organizan a nivel escuela, intermedio y de políticas públicas. Los participantes enfatizan la contextualización de las prácticas, el rol fundamental de los sostenedores de las escuelas y la necesidad de políticas públicas específicas para el sector. Se concluye que el docente no puede ser posicionado como responsable de resolver en el aula los problemas de la alta segregación social, y que la educación rural posee especificidades que no han sido contempladas por el nivel intermedio ni la política pública urbanocéntrica.

Published: March 2022

Currently, the problem of environmental pollution, especially in contaminated areas, is highly important. The study of the defense mechanisms of plants under salt stress (high salinity) is of considerable importance, given the conditions of current agricultural development and climate change. The aim of this study was to reveal the effect of salinity on Salix viminalis L. under field conditions at the Stebnyk tailing site in Ukraine. After 120 days of growth, the leaves, stems, and roots of S. viminalis were harvested to measure the antioxidant defense system of plants under salinity. Inhibition of S. viminalis growth was observed. We found that peroxidase, ascorbic acid, and proline mainly accumulated in the stems of S. viminalis under salinity conditions. However, in the roots, an increase in catalase activity and soluble sugars content was observed under salinity stress. Thus, the increase in the amount and changes in the activity of enzymes showed the involvement of the antioxidant system in the adaptation of S. viminalis to salinity. The data obtained in this study serve as a starting point for understanding the adaptive mechanisms of S. viminalis to salinity, particularly at the Stebnyk tailing. We believe our findings will support the use of plants in nature-based solutions and eco-engineering projects on saline and industrially polluted lands.
VIOLENCE: SELECTED CONTEXTS FROM THE
POINT OF VIEW OF PUPILS AND THE SCHOOL
COUNSELLOR
Authors: Rusinkiewicz Joanna
Published: March 2022

School is an amazing multifaceted surface where the broadly understood
process of a student’s personal development takes place. This is
a place from which the student expects not only the transfer of relevant
knowledge but also empathy, understanding as well as the feeling of security,
which is being lost as a result of violence experience. Violence,
because of its harmfulness, becomes a social problem. It generates a lot of
emotions from each person who gets involved in it. Meeting between the
school pedagogue and the student can be quite difficult for both partners
of the interaction. However, we should notice some students’ patterns of
behaviour, which reflect their difficult situation at school and at home.
Then, it will be possible to react in time.
Forfeiture of real property in Polish and Lithuanian criminal law
Authors: Żołna Małgorzata
Published: March 2022

This paper is a comparatist evaluation of forfeiture regulations, including the possibility of real property forfeiture under the Polish law and the law in force in the territory of the Republic of Lithuania. Being a legal institution that induces the perpetrator to realize the unprofitableness of committing a prohibited act, forfeiture is more effective than severe penalties, as its supreme goal is to deprive criminal activity of an economic sense. This is achieved through seizure of property and attachment of proceeds from crime. Lithuanian forfeiture laws are in many respects similar to Polish solutions.
Their detailed analysis may be an inspiration to contemplate changes in institutions well known to
Polish financial criminal lawyers.

Effect of uniform time on the transmission of signals in rail open systems
Authors: Chrzan Marcin
Published: March 2022

Railroads and the Rail Traffic Control Systems installed on them in Poland have recently been undergoing rapid technological development (Brodzik, 2019). Modern transportation solutions are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (Paś and Rosiński, 2017). Development of modern railroad infrastructure means not only stations and modern rolling stock, but also safe and reliable train traffic control systems based on the latest telecommunication and IT technologies (Ciszewski et al., 2017). In the last century these technologies were still considered dangerous and were introduced with great fear. Today, computerized systems for controlling railway traffic on the track are becoming the norm. Systems are created as "overlays" for existing relay systems or autonomous systems are built based on microprocessor systems (Burdzik et al., 2017). Today it is hard to imagine a modern control room without computer equipment. The introduction of microprocessor technology to railroad traffic control devices took place at the turn of the century. However, the use of modern radio systems in rail transport is the moment when technology based on the appeared in the world LTE (Long-Term evolution) standard. The development of modern data transmission technologies is integrally connected with the mobility of its users. In the presented article the author has tried to determine the impact of transmission synchronization on the basic transmission parameters of LTE signal (Chrzan, 2021). The convenience of using rail communications for its users is the possibility of uninterrupted access to data transmission services along the entire route of the train. Therefore, the research presented in this article was focused on the use of the public radio communication network for passenger data transmission and data transmission for railroad needs.
The article presents the influence of synchronisation of data transmission in open railway systems using GPS (Global Positioning System) technology. It presents a description of the physical phenomena associated with synchronisation, and presents the author's method for carrying out measurements on railway line No. 4. For this purpose, a diagnostic station was built and special software for data transmission encryption was prepared. The process of synchronisation of clocks with the use of uniform time was adopted as the basis. General measurement results and conclusions resulting from the use of open transmission in railway radiocommunication systems synchronised by the GPS system signal are presented.
Fuzzy logic as a decision-making support tool in planning transport development
Authors: Kaczorek Maciej , Jacyna Marianna
Published: March 2022

Deliberations on transport development indicate that planning is its most significant aspect. One of the key issues in planning is selecting infrastructure projects for completion that will contribute to achieving the development objectives. The important functions of planning, as well as its complexity, indicate the need to use solutions in the decision-making support field. In Poland, in the area of strategic planning of infrastructure development, methods of supporting decision-making aimed at selecting infrastructure projects, taking into account their degree of compliance with strategic goals, are currently not applied comprehensively. The paper aims to address this gap with MCDA solution basing on review of literature combined with the authors’ experience in transport planning. Therefore, authors presented a proposed tool for supporting decision-making in planning transport development on a strategic level. The presented method allows for assessing infrastructure development projects in road and rail transport. Such assessments take into account a number of criteria corresponding to the main development directions, i.e. sustainable development and quality of life. Due to the method of formulating development objectives, it has been decided that it will be advantageous to apply fuzzy logic, which enables using natural language in decision-making support systems. To allow practical application of fuzzy logic, the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox package available in the MATLAB environment has been employed. The developed model contains a structure along with defined linguistic variables reflecting the decision-making criteria; also, it includes membership functions, inference rules as well as assessment results. The paper also defines the algorithm of decision-making support procedure. For verification purposes, the decision support model was applied in several real-life project evaluation cases, including a variety of projects in construction, development, and renovation of rail and road infrastructure. The deliberations described in this paper indicate the usefulness of fuzzy logic for supporting decision-making in planning transport development. It’s beneficial that the defined criteria can be applied in the case of projects in early preparation phase, enabling their practical application. Implementation of the solution in the MATLAB Fuzzy Logic Toolbox enables achieving fast results of the assessment of decision-maker preference level.

Authors: Rysová Lucia , Kazanský Rastislav , Kalický Juraj
Published: March 2022

An increasingly globalised world of the new millennium with its technological, socio-economic, and political challenges requires such type of a university that could guarantee an effective educational space for the academic training of professionals for those disciplines that are and will be crucial for the very existence and progress of the state, the preservation and development of its potential for full participation and competitiveness in global markets. To this end, academic institutions need to take into account, as part of their educational and research process, the latest technological and socio-economic trends in global developments in the industrial and scientific sectors. One possibility to meet institutionally these criteria is a liberal university with its potential to contribute a qualification basis for, e.g. the so-called global managers, top performers, creators of technical and social innovation, and for the enhancement of globalising science. This paper aims to present and highlight, via synthesis, descriptive, analytical and historical methods, how a liberal university can contribute to increasing the political and economic openness of the European Union within its own space, as well as to its openness to the outside world in global educational and socio-economic space.
An Environment-Friendly Rock Excavation Method
Authors: Gan Ze , Yang Xi , Zhang Yunpeng , Wu Xu , Wang Jie
Published: March 2022

Blasting is used as an economical tool for rock excavation in mines. However, part of the explosive energy is converted into elastic waves, resulting in ground vibration and excessive vibration, which may cause damage to nearby buildings. Meanwhile, toxic gases are also produced during the explosion. In this paper, an environment-friendly method for rock excavation is proposed. A series of vibration tests were conducted, and the peak particle velocity was monitored. The results showed that the proposed method can replace the conventional blasting method in mines. Besides that, the vibration caused by the proposed method is much smaller than by the conventional method. By adjusting the direction of the high-pressure gas injection, buildings around the mine can be protected well from vibration. Also, the production of toxic gases during excavation will no longer be a problem. Thus, a milder environmental impact can be achieved. However, the rocks excavated by the proposed method are relatively large, which still need to be broken further. On this issue, further study is required.

Authors: Silva Jonatan Fracasso da , Wagner Flávio Rech , Soares Sandro Neves
Published: March 2022

Este trabalho apresenta um framework para a exploração do espaço de projeto usando Reduced Bitwidth Instruction Set Architecture (rISA). rISA é um recurso arquitetural empregado para a redução de código e, também, para a redução do consumo de energia em processadores embarcados. O framework rISA herda, da sua infraestrutura de modelagem, recursos que o distinguem de outras ferramentas, relacionados à facilidade de acesso e de uso. Além disso, ele implementa um algoritmo de redução de código que tem, como diferencial, um tratamento mais eficiente dos desvios reduzidos. O uso deste framework permitiu a descoberta de um novo formato rISA, não considerado por outros trabalhos correlatos, que é mais simples e que apresenta melhores resultados do que outros conjuntos mais complexos em termos de redução no consumo de energia. A simplicidade deste novo formato advém do emprego de menos instruções no algoritmo de redução e os resultados obtidos, em experimentos com programas do MiBench, foram superiores a propostas anteriores em até 14%.

Técnicas de reuso e previsão de valores são alternativas para aumentar o desempenho em arquiteturas de processadores, já que permitem que instruções com dependências verdadeiras e de controle tenham seus resultados no mesmo ciclo. No entanto, arquiteturas que utilizam esses mecanismos não costumam incorporar os acessos à memória como parte das instruções que podem ser reusadas. Neste artigo, o RSTm é apresentado, uma versão da arquitetura RST (Reuse through Speculation on Traces) que permite o reuso (especulativo ou não) de acessos à memória. A verificação da reusabilidade de instruções de acesso à memória dá-se com o uso de uma tabela adicional, a Memo Table L, que armazena endereços e valores dos acessos reusáveis. Esta solução não limita o número de instruções de acesso à memória por traço e, também, armazena tanto o endereço como seu respectivo valor, com pequeno custo adicional no hardware. Os experimentos, realizados com benchmarks do SPEC2000int e SPEC2000fp mostram um speedup de até 1,0474 no desempenho do RSTm sobre o mecanismo original e de 1,2019 sobre a arquitetura base.

Alguns trabalhos relacionados na presente pesquisa abordam a interação entre dispositivos móveis e grades não tratam alguns problemas ou restrições destes aparelhos, como por exemplo, tempo de vida da bateria limitada e desconexões freqüentes por causa da natureza intermitente do sinal da rede wireless. Este artigo apresenta uma abordagem para fornecer uma forma adaptada para execução de aplicações em configurações de grades móveis que trate estes problemas. Através desta abordagem foi alcançada uma adequação do fluxo de execução, em caso de desconexão, considerando os requisitos da aplicação submetida a partir dos dispositivos móveis e as opções definidas pelo usuário. Em adição, os resultados experimentais evidenciam também que a abordagem consumiu menos energia da bateria de um PDA para submeter e monitorar aplicações em comparação com alguns trabalhos relacionados. Para atingir tais fins, foram desenvolvidas interfaces com características otimizadas e adaptadas conforme alguns problemas característicos e limitações encontradas nos dispositivos móveis.

Domestic Effects of International Norms
Authors: Krüger Laura-Theresa
Published: March 2022

The European Union formulates ambitious joint principles for development policy, yet national implementation of these principles often lags behind. Which factors play a role in this? With a social constructivist norm approach, this study proposes a model for understanding the under-researched institutional embedding and internalisation of international norms at the domestic level. By looking at France, Germany and Spain, it investigates three long-standing EU member states. Its two case studies focus on two particular aspects of development policy: poverty orientation and joint donor approaches. On the basis of interviews and encompassing additional sources, the study argues that both agency and structural factors play a role in domestic norm translation.
Die Geltung als Tatsache
Authors: Neves Henrique Gonçalves
Published: March 2022

Henrique Neves investigates the relation between legal normativity and legal facticity on the basis of Hans Kelsen's legal positivism and Robert Alexy's non-positivism. On the basis of the parallelism thesis, the author explains how the legal phenomenon is constituted by thoroughly analyzing the mode of constitution and existence of legal norms and legal facts. Thus, the author argues for the importance of a concept of legal fact in legal theory and for its parallel relation with the concept of legal norm. The fact that legal facts are both a condition and a fulfillment of legal validity is an important result of the investigation.
Reproduktives Reisen und Elternschaft
Authors: Hoffmeister Katharina Helena
Published: March 2022

More and more intended parents are going abroad to make use of reproductive medicine that is prohibited or restricted in some way in their home country. The legal follow-up questions range from the fundamental question of the intended parents' parenthood to the practical question of the return journey with the child born abroad and its registration in the civil status register. The work examines these questions at the intersection of medical law and family law, international procedural and private law, as well as citizenship law and passport law.
Exploration of errors in variance caused by using the first-order approximation in Mendelian randomization
Authors: Kim Hakin , Kim Kunhee , Han Buhm
Published: March 2022

Mendelian randomization (MR) uses genetic variation as a natural experiment to investigate the causal effects of modifiable risk factors (exposures) on outcomes. Two-sample Mendelian randomization (2SMR) is widely used to measure causal effects between exposures and outcomes via genome-wide association studies. 2SMR can increase statistical power by utilizing summary statistics from large consortia such as the UK Biobank. However, the first-order term approximation of standard error is commonly used when applying 2SMR. This approximation can underestimate the variance of causal effects in MR, which can lead to an increased false-positive rate. An alternative is to use the second-order approximation of the standard error, which can considerably correct for the deviation of the first-order approximation. In this study, we simulated MR to show the degree to which the first-order approximation underestimates the variance. We show that depending on the specific situation, the first-order approximation can underestimate the variance almost by half when compared to the true variance, whereas the second-order approximation is robust and accurate.
Comparison of the copy-neutral loss of heterozygosity identified from whole-exome sequencing data using three different tools
Authors: Lee Gang-Taik , Chung Yeun-Jun
Published: March 2022

Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is a genomic aberration. In some cases, LOH can be generated without changing the copy number, which is called copy-neutral LOH (CN-LOH). CN-LOH frequently occurs in various human diseases, including cancer. However, the biological and clinical implications of CN-LOH for human diseases have not been well studied. In this study, we compared the performance of CN-LOH determination using three commonly used tools. For an objective comparison, we analyzed CN-LOH profiles from single-nucleotide polymorphism array data from 10 colon adenocarcinoma patients, which were used as the reference for comparison with the CN-LOHs obtained through whole-exome sequencing (WES) data of the same patients using three different analysis tools (FACETS, Nexus, and Sequenza). The majority of the CN-LOHs identified from the WES data were consistent with the reference data. However, some of the CN-LOHs identified from the WES data were not consistent between the three tools, and the consistency with the reference CN-LOH profile was also different. The Jaccard index of the CN-LOHs using FACETS (0.84 ± 0.29; mean value, 0.73) was significantly higher than that of Nexus (0.55 ± 0.29; mean value, 0.50; p = 0.02) or Sequenza (0 ± 0.41; mean value, 0.34; p = 0.04). FACETS showed the highest area under the curve value. Taken together, of the three CN-LOH analysis tools, FACETS showed the best performance in identifying CN-LOHs from The Cancer Genome Atlas colon adenocarcinoma WES data. Our results will be helpful in exploring the biological or clinical implications of CN-LOH for human diseases.

Litorilituus sediminis is a Gram-negative, aerobic, novel bacterium under the family of Colwelliaceae, has a stunning hypothetical protein containing domain called von Hippel-Lindau that has significant tumor suppressor activity. Therefore, this study was designed to elucidate the structure and function of the biologically important hypothetical protein EMK97_00595 (QBG34344.1) using several bioinformatics tools. The functional annotation exposed that the hypothetical protein is an extracellular secretory soluble signal peptide and contains the von Hippel-Lindau (VHL; VHL beta) domain that has a significant role in tumor suppression. This domain is conserved throughout evolution, as its homologs are available in various types of the organism like mammals, insects, and nematode. The gene product of VHL has a critical regulatory activity in the ubiquitous oxygen-sensing pathway. This domain has a significant role in inhibiting cell proliferation, angiogenesis progression, kidney cancer, breast cancer, and colon cancer. At last, the current study depicts that the annotated hypothetical protein is linked with tumor suppressor activity which might be of great interest to future research in the higher organism.
Publication trends of somatic mutation and recombination tests research:
a bibliometric analysis (1984‒2020)
Authors: Tagorti Ghada , Kaya Bülent
Published: March 2022

Human exposure to pollutants has been on the rise. Thus, researchers have been focused on understanding the effect of these compounds on human health, especially on the genetic information by using various tests, among them the somatic mutation and recombination tests (SMARTs). It is a sensitive and accurate method applicable to genotoxicity analysis. Here, a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of SMART assays in genotoxicity studies was performed to assess publication trends of this field. Data were extracted from the Web of Science database and analyzed by the bibliometric tools HistCite, Biblioshiny (RStudio), VOSViewer, and CiteSpace. Results have shown an increase in the last 10 years in terms of publication. A total of 392 records were published in 96 sources mainly from Brazil, Spain, and Turkey. Research collaboration networks between countries and authors were performed. Based on document co-citation, five large research clusters were identified and analyzed. The youngest research frontier emphasized on nanoparticles. With this study, how research trends evolve over years was demonstrated. Thus, international collaboration could be enhanced, and a promising field could be developed.
