Analysis of the Mechanisms of the Legal Will - an Argument for an Interdisciplinary Scientific Framework
Authors: Bora Alexandrina-Augusta
Published: January 2023

The legal will agreement producing legal effects means that each party will is real, conscious, free and clear, externalized and expressed the intention to be bound. Through legal concepts of will and consent, a purely psychological approach objectifies producing legal effects. The whole argument is based on the idea that an interdisciplinary approach of the law requires updating the content of the concepts reflecting processes and mental phenomena which can be scientifically investigated with the methods and techniques of modern science. Analysis of classical theories of the will and the modern theories on the decision making process revealed the evolution of decision making research and the importance of including these valuable scientific information within the factors influencing civil act theory as a manifestation of the will and the concept of contractual freedom.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Beauty and Art, Jeong In-Sim
Published: January 2023

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, modern people have been suffering from depression, anxiety, hostility and stress. Since it was deemed that mental health is correlated with social support and self-esteem, this study attempted to examine the mediating effects of self-esteem in the influence of social support on mental health and use the results as basic data for improving modern people’s health. For this, an online questionnaire survey was performed against adults in their 20-60s nationwide from February 26 to April 1, 2022. The collected data were analyzed, using SPSS 23.0, and the results found the followings: As social support and self-esteem increased, depression, anxiety, stress and hostility revealed low scores. Concerning the mediating effects of self-esteem in the influence of social support on mental health, depression and stress showed a perfect mediating effect while a partial mediating effect was observed in anxiety and hostility. For modern people’s mental health, in other words, social support is required. Furthermore, there is a necessity to develop programs which could enhance self-esteem. It is anticipated that the study results would be available as basic data for modern people’s health promotion and that there would be further studies on such health improvement.

Authors:   The Korean Society of Beauty and Art, BAOHABUER BAOHABUER , Song Tae-Im
Published: January 2023

This study attempted to investigate the influence of overt narcissistic tendencies on body images and beauty care behavior against young women in their 20s-30s living of China. For this, a survey was reconstructed based on previous studies, and the first pilot study was conducted against 20 Chinese women in their 20s or older. A total of 406 copies were used for the final analysis. The above results confirm that as overt narcissistic tendencies get stronger, body satisfaction, appearance orientation, ‘home beauty care’ and ‘beauty care by expert’ were higher. In a rapidly changing Chinese modern society, such trend has been influenced by social changes such as lookism and spread of online media. Under these circumstances, those with overt narcissistic tendencies having individualistic thinking and ostentatious attitude believe that outer beauty is more important than inner beauty. It is anticipated that the study results would be available as basic data in understanding the desirable values and sociocultural trends of beauty, suggesting the positive aspects of Chinese beauty industry and developing effective marketing strategies.

Published: January 2023

As a study on the ‘structural factors affecting the satisfaction and recommendation intention of trainees in beauty vocational training institutions’, the purpose of this study is to provide the basic data for more efficiently systematizing the operation of beauty vocational training institutions. This study considered preceding researches, designed a research model, and then verified it through the empirical analysis. Focusing on the results of this study, the implications of this study could be summarized as follows. First, once the beauty vocational training institutions are equipped with the educational environment system suitable for the training course, it would work as a positive factor on the NCS teaching method and leadership of institution heads, which would be led to the efficient operation of institutions. Second, among many educational environments of beauty training institutions, the dissatisfaction with service & employment support from administrative staffs have negative effects on trainee satisfaction, so it would be necessary to provide the smooth administrative service support, systematic employment support, and continuous counseling that could raise the trainee satisfaction. Third, the institution head leadership that affects the recommendation intention can increase the recommendation intention only through trainee satisfaction, so the measures for increasing the trainee satisfaction should be preceded first to increase the recommendation intention. Hopefully, the results of this study could be much helpful for the development of beauty vocational training institutions and researches on the training of trainees in the beauty industry.

Autorzy przychylają się do tezy o istnieniu pierwotnego rozwarstwienia dialektalnego między
ludnością prabaltycką i prasłowiańską. Innymi słowy, zakładają, że nie było nigdy jednolitego
języka bałto-słowiańskiego. Tezę tą wzmacniają spostrzeżeniem,że języki bałtyckie (w przeciwieństwie
do słowiańskich) mają licme powiązania z językami paleobałkańskimi. Szczególnie jest to
widoczne przy porównaniach leksykalnych bałtycko-greckich. Autorzy grupują liczne tego rodzaju

Z badań nad homeryzmami "Potopu" Henryka Sienkiewicza
Authors: Macjon Józef
Published: January 2023

In reference to a comparative study of Sienkiewicz' s historical trilogy three episodes in The
Deluge bear striking resemblance to those in Odyssey (translated by Lucjan Siemieński) - the fact
that seems to have escaped to critics' notice. The story of Kmicic's bow, especially a description of the archer's action just about to shoot
an arrow, together with an accompanying simile (The Deluge, vol. 3, chap. XII) is patterned on
a motif of Odysseus' bow (Odyssey, XXI, 11-33; 409-411).
The episode in which Kuklinowski takes revenge on Kmicic, and then that of Kmicic's
revenge on Kuklinowski (The Deluge vol. 3, chap. XVIll) shows the writer's familiarity with the
scene of Melanthios - the Goatherd's capture (Odyssey, XXII, 173-205).
In the chase after Babinicz, The General Douglas comes across a bunch of Swedish soldiers
hanged by some Polish peasants (The Deluge, vol. 6, chap. IX). The story of the event is an
excelent example of the use of Homeric simile (Odyssey, XXII, 481--487).

Russia Logistic System Response to Western Sanctions Challenges: Bypass or Leveling?
Authors: Pokrovskaya Oksana
Published: January 2023

Purpose: To provide analytical overview of Russia's logistic system current state under new sanction package introduction as of August 2022, including analysis of possible responses to formed challenges to national transport-logistic market. Methods: The method of analytical review of Russia and World transport-logistic market state in conditions of sanctions new package is applied. The results of the study: The analysis of trends in the development of Russia logistic system made it possible to determine possible RF responses to foreign economic turnover challenges in terms of transport and container blockade as well as to formulate potential options for leveling sanctions new package negative impact on national logistic system. New logistic schemes “bypassing anti-Russian sanctions” should be considered exclusively as a forced, temporary way out of existing transport and economic blockade and not like 2.0-level logistics at minimal number of participants and a list of operations with goods. Main triggers under anti-Russia sanctions influence have become: production purchase for in store, active search for domestic analogues, trade routes complete renewal and access to delivery new markets. The answers to these challenges for logistic domestic systems may be three tracks: dependence reduction from key suppliers, alternative delivery methods formation and “to the East” direction work reorientation. Practical significance: Analytical review of the options for the development of domestic transport-logistic system in new geopolitical situation conditions has been carried out. The ways of leveling Western country sanction negative effects upon RF logistic system are characterized. Based on the results of the study, the key trends in RF logistic system development and response pool to external challenges are formulated.
A Review of Plastic Contamination Challenges and Mitigation Efforts in Cotton and Textile Milling Industries
Authors: Adeleke Adeyemi
Published: January 2023

Plastic contamination is a burning issue costing the global cotton and textile industries billions of dollars annually. Any time plastics from different sources end up in a cotton lint bale, the value to the textile mills plummets significantly. Various industry players have therefore made a concerted effort to find lasting solutions to the menace posed by plastic to cotton profitability and sustainability. Nevertheless, until now, there have been no up-to-date comprehensive documents detailing the numerous and ever-growing efforts committed to solving this challenge. Therefore, this article provides a detailed yet compact review of this highly dynamic subject matter. First, it puts into perspective plastic contamination in the cotton and textile industries. Then, the cotton value chain is subdivided into phases from pre-cultivation to textile mills. The root causes of plastic contamination are discussed in each stage, followed by discussions of some already developed and emerging solutions in response to the challenge by the affected industries and researchers. Concluding from the author’s perspective, the paper makes projections for the future directions of plastic mitigation efforts within the cotton and textile industries. This article also infers from the reviewed literature that research on finding alternative materials to plastic as module wrap, the development of new, effective, and all-condition plastic sensing techniques for ginning and spinning equipment, and standardized protocols for UAV in-field surveys of plastic trash are some of the areas that will be beneficial to finding a permanent solution to the challenge.
