importance of reasoning in the financing of churches from public funds or the case of the Hungarian Evangelical Fellowship with the legislator (2011-2019)
Authors: Pétervári Kinga
Published: May 2023

The following analysis is about a unique, out-dragged, henceforth unsolved legal bargaining between small churches and the parliament in Hungary. Is the majority principle based on firm enough grounds so that to differentiate among religions? Why should the ruling majority be required to take into consideration religious groups that are marginal, or that they dislike, on an equality basis while distributing public funds?
This paper suggests that the conceptual critique of the new deliberately differentiating, illiberal Church law of 2011 is that it allows unhinged exclusive and arbitrary decision-making for the legislation. Although majority principle should be the essence of democracy, its unconstrained version creates such anomalies in the democratic institutions which could well be survived but would alter the system into a non-democratic regime. First generation fundamental rights are therefore to be protected not by the democratic institutions even in a democracy but by the rule of law (liberalism).
Tongue Prints - An Information Immune to Forgery
Authors:   M. R. Ambedkar Dental College and Hospital, India, R Poojya
Published: May 2023

Tongue print or lingual impression is a new biometric authentication method used in forensics. Every tongue has its own lingual impression, because of its unique shape and texture. Tongue print is the information carried on the exposed portion of the tongue, that is shape and texture all together. Many studies have been researched into preparing a proper algorithm for tongue image analysis. Digital photographs, lingual moulded impressions, rugoscopy, cheiloscopy, sublingual vein analysis, ultrasound, histological analysis are some of the methods of tongue print collection. Forensic dentistry deals with the proper handling, examination, and evaluation of dental evidence which will be presented in the interest of justice. With the increase in identity fraud and emphasis on security, there is an urgent need to identify humans locally and remotely on a routine basis. Hence newer advancements and research on the potential of tongue prints, as an authenticated forensic tool has to be done.
Prostitusi Perspektif Hukum Positif dan Hukum Islam
Authors: Ikawati Linda
Published: May 2023

Prostitusi adalah praktek hubungan seksual yang dilakukan untuk mendapatkan imbalan berupa uang. Praktek prostitusi ini dilakukan oleh beberapa pihak, yaitu pihak sebagai mucikari, PSK, dan pengguna jasa PSKnya. Faktor yang paling banyak menyebabkan adanya praktek ini adalah faktor keuangan yang rendah. Karena untuk melakukan praktek prostitusi tidak perlu membutuhkan modal yang banyak. Di dalam hukum positif maupun hukum Islam sangat jelas di larang perbuatan ini. Namun di dalam KUHP hukum atau sanksinya hanya mencakup pada mucikari. Dan untuk pengguna jasa serta PSKnya dapat dikenakan hukuman apabila adanya aduan dari pihak yan tersakiti. Hukum Islam telah mengatur praktek prostitusi ini jelas dalam AL-Qur’an yaitu dilarang dengan sangat. Yang dikenakan sanksi menurut hukum islam adalah semua pihak yang tersangkut dalam praktek prositusi ini, tanpa terkecuali apapun. Dalam dua hukum yang disebutkan terdapat persamaan dan perbedaannya, diantara perbedaannya adalah pada pihak yang dapat dikenakan sanksi. Persamaannya adalah adanya hukum yang mengatur tentang prostitusi ini, adanya sanksi dari masyarakat pula, dan kegiatan praktek prostitusi ini merupakan perbuatan yang di anggap tercela oleh seluruh masyarakat.

Published: May 2023

Tindak pidana pencurian adalah salah satu kejahatan yang sering terjadi di masyarakat. Pelaku pencurian biasanya tidak hanya mengambil harta benda tetapi disertai juga dengan kekerasan yang menyebabkan luka terhadap korban. Setiap kejahatan yang terjadi akan meninggalkan bekas disuatu benda atau tempat. Pada umumnya, salah satu bukti fisik yang tertinggal oleh pelaku pencurian dengan kekerasan di tempat kejadian perkara adalah sidik jari. Proses penyidikan oleh Kepolisian dengan menggunakan sidik jari berpedoman pada teknik dan ilmu khusus (dactyloscopy). Pengambilan sidik jari dalam penyidikan diatur dalam KUHAP dan Undang-Undang Nomor 2 Tahun 2002 serta peraturan lainnya. Oleh karena itu, sidik jari digunakan sebagai alat bukti untuk menemukan pelaku kejahatan. Dengan metode tersebut maka hasil penelitian ini adalah pada proses penyidikan suatu tindak pidana pencurian dengan kekerasan di Polres Wonosobo menggunakan bantuan ilmiah yaitu sidik jari. Pembuktian menggunakan sidik jari dinilai lebih otentik dan memiliki tingkat akurasi lebih tinggi. Agar dapat dijadikan sebagai bukti, sidik jari diidentifikasi melalui perbandingan atau pencocokan dengan file yang tersimpan di database Kepolisian. Keterangan atas sidik jari tersebut dimuat dalam berita acara pemeriksaan perbandingan sidik jari. Dengan demikian sidik jari memiliki kekuatan sebagai salah satu alat bukti surat sebagaimana tercantum dalam Pasal 187 KUHAP.

Electrooxidation of polar benzotriazole - The impact of supporting electrolyte
Authors: Prosen Helena , Markelj Jernej , Vranješ Stefan , Đuričić Tijana , Malinović Borislav , Korenčić Eva
Published: May 2023

Polar benzotriazoles are heterocyclic compounds widely used in industry, and as such are easily released into the environment. These compounds show harmful and toxic effects on plants and some aquatic organisms, biodegrade quite slowly, and some, depending on the structure, have the ability to bioaccumulate. They can only be partially removed by conventional wastewater treatment, and are therefore found in a variety of waters, as well as solid waste. In this paper, synthetic wastewater containing polar benzotriazole was treated by an electrooxidation process. The efficiency of the treatment was tested depending on various parameters, such as: anode material (mixed metal oxide - MMO and boron-doped diamond - BDD), applied current density (10 and 20 mA/cm2), type of supporting electrolyte (NaCl, Na2CO3, Na2SO4, H2SO4) and treatment time (0.5 - 2.5 h). Obtained results showed the treatment was more effective at higher current density and by using BDD anode. Also, the efficiency of the treatment increases with the prolongation of the electrolysis time. After 2.5 h of treatment, 97.9% of benzotriazole was removed, in the presence of sulfuric acid as supporting electrolyte.

The aim of this research was to determine existence of the correlation between chemical and certain rheological quality parameters of different wheat flour samples and quality of bread produced from them. Three samples of wheat flour type 500, which were produced as experimental samples in industrial conditions, were analyzed. The analysis of chemical composition (content of water, ash, ash on dry matter, fat, protein, starch) and farinograph parameters (farinograph water absorption, dough development time, stability of dough, softening degree of dough, quality number, quality group) of experimental samples of wheat flour has been conducted. These analyzed flour samples were used for bread production. Also, quality parameters of three produced bread samples were analyzed (volume of bread, mass of bread, overall sensory quality of bread). After that, the existence of the correlation between analyzed parameters has been examined and found as very important correlation between farinograph water absorption (FWA) and parameters of chemical composition: water content (p˂0.05), fat content (p˂0.05), protein content (p˂0.05) and starch content (p˂0.05). Also, a significant impact and positive correlation between the protein content and farinograph water absorption (FWA) on bread volume (p˂0.05) has been found.

Published: May 2023

Within the framework of this article, a comparative analysis of existing approaches to the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the field of control and supervision of financial market participants in foreign countries and Russia is carried out. As part of the comparative analysis, basic problems were identified in the field of ensuring the accuracy of analytical tools used to detect facts of market manipulation and insider trading, theoretical and practical situations of using artificial intelligence in the supervisory activities of public and private financial institutions were considered, and additional compensatory legal measures were proposed to ensure effective integration of artificial intelligence and the use of AI for the purposes of financial supervision in Russia. The subject of the study is the features of legal relations that develop in the course of AI use in the framework of the supervision of financial activities. The object of the study are regulations, recommendations and other documents regulating the use of artificial intelligence for supervisory activities aimed at preventing manipulation of the financial market and insider trading, judicial practice, academic publications and analytical reports on the issues under study. The research methodology integrates a complex of modern philosophical, general scientific, special scientific methods of cognition, including dialectical, systemic, structural-functional, hermeneutical, comparative legal, formal legal (dogmatic), etc. Within the framework of this study, special emphasis is laid on the implementation of a comparative legal study of the areas of AI application in financial supervisory activities, the identification of common problems in the AI application by authorities and the development of common approaches. The measures proposed as a result of the study can be applied in the legislative and legal practice of relevant authorities implementing the integration of artificial intelligence into the sphere of public relations in Russia, including the field of control and supervision activities in the financial market.
Interaction of the Prosecutor's Office with Religious Organizations
Authors: Kovalev Artem Aleksandrovich
Published: May 2023

The object of the study is the social relations that arise during the interaction of the prosecutor's office, law enforcement and other state bodies with religious organizations, and the impact of this interaction on the prevention of offenses. The author examines such aspects of the topic as the impact of the activities of religious organizations on the legal situation, the impact of cooperation with them of the prosecutor's office, law enforcement and other state bodies on the prevention of offenses, the specifics of the implementation of the directions of interaction of the prosecutor's office with religious organizations. The subject of the study is the materials of law enforcement practice, the norms of legislation on the prosecutor's office, the legislation of foreign countries regulating these public relations, the positions of scientists formed on the issue of interaction with religious organizations of state and, in particular, law enforcement agencies. Despite the separation of religion from the state proclaimed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation, there is obviously an increasing influence on the legal situation of religious organizations, as well as the presence of significant potential for preventing crimes, especially in the field of terrorism and extremism, which is especially relevant in the modern situation. In this regard, there is no doubt that the Prosecutor's office and other law enforcement agencies need to cooperate with them in the field of crime prevention. At the same time, the current legislation does not contain the necessary regulation of such cooperation; scientific study of the issue is also insufficient. Filling this gap, the author of the article, exploring the legal aspects of the implementation of the interaction of the prosecutor's office and other law enforcement agencies with religious organizations in the legal sphere, identifies the directions and forms of their interaction, which is the novelty of the study. The conclusion is formulated about the need to consolidate the duty of interaction of the Prosecutor's office with public and religious organizations in the Law on the Prosecutor's Office, its directions and to consolidate in the order of the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation the forms of interaction of the Prosecutor's Office with religious organizations, which is a special contribution of the author to the study of this topic.

Published: May 2023

Sarcomeres are the basic contractile units within cardiac myocytes, and the collective shortening of sarcomeres aligned along myofibrils generates the force driving the heartbeat. The alignment of the individual sarcomeres is important for proper force generation, and misaligned sarcomeres are associated with diseases including cardiomyopathies and COVID-19. The actin bundling protein, α-actinin-2, localizes to the “Z-Bodies” of sarcomere precursors and the “Z-Lines” of sarcomeres, and has been used previously to assess sarcomere assembly and maintenance. Previous measurements of α-actinin-2 organization have been largely accomplished manually, which is time-consuming and has hampered research progress. Here, we introduce sarcApp, an image analysis tool that quantifies several components of the cardiac sarcomere and their alignment in muscle cells and tissue. We first developed sarcApp to utilize deep learning-based segmentation and real space quantification to measure α-actinin-2 structures and determine the organization of both precursors and sarcomeres/myofibrils. We then expanded sarcApp to analyze “M-Lines” using the localization of myomesin and a protein that connects the Z-Lines to the M-Line (titin). sarcApp produces 33 distinct measurements per cell and 24 per myofibril that allow for precise quantification of changes in sarcomeres, myofibrils, and their precursors. We validated this system with perturbations to sarcomere assembly. Surprisingly, we found perturbations that affected Z-Lines and M-Lines differently, suggesting that they may be regulated independently during sarcomere assembly.
A wild rice-derived peptide R14 ameliorates monosodium urate crystals-induced IL-1β secretion through inhibition of NF-κB signaling and NLRP3 inflammasome activation
Authors: Charoenwutthikun Supattra , Chanjitwiriya Kasem , Roytrakul Sittiruk , Kunthalert Duangkamol
Published: May 2023

Gout is an inflammatory arthritis initiated by the deposition of monosodium urate crystals (MSU) around the joints and surrounding tissues. MSU crystals activate the nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor containing pyrin domain 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome to the release of interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Gout can have a substantial impact on patient’s quality of life, and currently available medicines are unable to meet all the clinical needs. This study explored anti-gout potentials of the Rice14 (R14) peptide, a peptide derived from leaves of wild rice Oryza minuta. The effects of R14 peptide on IL-1β secretion in THP-1 macrophages with MSU crystals-induced inflammation were examined. Our results clearly showed that the R14 peptide significantly inhibited the secretion of IL-1β in MSU crystals-induced macrophages, and the effects were dose-related. For safety testing, the R14 peptide did not show both cytotoxicity and hemolytic activity. In addition, the R14 peptide strongly suppressed the phospho-IκB-α and nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) p65 proteins in NF-κB signaling pathway, reduced the NLRP3 expression and inhibited the MSU crystals-mediated cleavage of caspase-1 as well as mature IL-1β. The R14 peptide also reduced MSU-triggered intracellular ROS levels in macrophages. Taken together, these results indicated that R14 peptide inhibited MSU crystals-induced IL-1β production through NF-κB and NLRP3 inflammasome activation. Our findings demonstrated that R14 peptide, the newly recognized peptide from wild rice, possessed potent regulatory activity against IL-1β production in MSU crystals-induced inflammation, and we therefore propose that the R14 peptide is a promising molecule with potential clinical application in the treatment of MSU crystals-induced inflammation.
Characterisation of pellicle-forming ability in clinical carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii
Authors: Ng Heng Kang , Puah Suat Moi , Teh Cindy Shuan Ju , Idris Nuryana , Chua Kek Heng
Published: May 2023

Background

Acinetobacter baumannii was reported to have resistance towards carbapenems and the ability to form an air-liquid biofilm (pellicle) which contributes to their virulence. The GacSA two-component system has been previously shown to play a role in pellicle formation. Therefore, this study aims to detect the presence of gacA and gacS genes in carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CRAB) isolates recovered from patients in intensive care units and to investigate their pellicle forming ability.

Methods

The gacS and gacA genes were screened in 96 clinical CRAB isolates using PCR assay. Pellicle formation assay was performed in Mueller Hinton medium and Luria Bertani medium using borosilicate glass tubes and polypropylene plastic tubes. The biomass of the pellicle was quantitated using the crystal violet staining assay. The selected isolates were further assessed for their motility using semi-solid agar and monitored in real-time using real-time cell analyser (RTCA).

Results

All 96 clinical CRAB isolates carried the gacS and gacA genes, however, only four isolates (AB21, AB34, AB69 and AB97) displayed the ability of pellicle-formation phenotypically. These four pellicle-forming isolates produced robust pellicles in Mueller Hinton medium with better performance in borosilicate glass tubes in which biomass with OD570 ranging from 1.984 ± 0.383 to 2.272 ± 0.376 was recorded. The decrease in cell index starting from 13 hours obtained from the impedance-based RTCA showed that pellicle-forming isolates had entered the growth stage of pellicle development.

Conclusion

These four pellicle-forming clinical CRAB isolates could be potentially more virulent, therefore further investigation is warranted to provide insights into their pathogenic mechanisms.

Rapid and accurate identification of specific sepsis pathogens is critical for patient treatment and disease control. This study aimed to establish a new application for the rapid identification of common pathogens in patients with suspected sepsis and evaluate its role in clinical application. A multiplex PCR assay was designed to simultaneously amplify specific conserved regions of nine common pathogenic microorganisms in sepsis, including Acinetobacter baumannii, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Streptococcus pneumonia, and Candida albicans. The PCR products were analyzed by a membrane biochip. The analytical sensitivity of the assay was determined at a range of 5–100 copies/reaction for each standard strain, and the detection range was 20–200 cfu/reaction in a series dilution of simulated clinical samples at different concentrations. Out of the 179 clinical samples, the positive rate for pathogens detected by the membrane biochip assay and blood culture method was 20.11% (36/179) and 18.44% (33/179), respectively. However, by comparing the positive rate of the nine common pathogens we detected, the membrane biochip assay tended to be more sensitive than the blood culture method (20.11% vs 15.64%). The clinical sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of the membrane biochip assay were 92.9%, 93.2%, 72.2% and 98.6%, respectively. Generally, this multiplex PCR combined membrane biochip assay can be used to detect major sepsis pathogens, and is useful for early initiation of effective antimicrobial treatment, and is feasible for sepsis pathogens identification in routine clinical practice.

Three juvenile Atlantic tripletail Lobotes surinamensis caught opportunistically in Charleston Harbor (South Carolina, USA) and maintained in captivity for over three months displayed an altered swimming behavior. While no direct causation can be demonstrated herein, fish were infected in their brain by strigeid trematode larvae (metacercariae) of Cardiocephaloides medioconiger, which were identified via ITS2 and 28S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing. Histology showed nonencysted metacercariae within the brain ventricle between the optic tectum and tegmentum, causing distortion of tegmental parenchyma. Aggregates of mononuclear inflammatory cells were in the ventricle adjacent to metacercariae. Metacercarial infection by Cardiocephaloides medioconiger has been reported from the brain and eyes of only two other fish species from the northern US Atlantic coast: the grey mullet Mugil cephalus and silverside Menidia menidia, but this identification is problematic and needs molecular verification. Atlantic tripletail is a new report as a second intermediate host for C. medioconiger and South Carolina is a new locality. Cardiocephaloides species in general have a low host specificity and infection by C. medioconiger could propagate to other fishes and affect neighboring natural ecosystems.
A Simulation of the Optimal Personnel Demand for Banking Hall Services

The banking industry has seen a revolutionary moment in adopting mobile banking technology in the last few years. The technology has contributed to many customers keeping off the banking hall for basic and routine transactions. This has largely been attributed to the convenience of mobile banking, including time management and increased privacy. However, there are still times when a bank conducts large-scale service provision for many people. For example, a payment agency contracted by the government to disburse funds to a section of the citizens may require that money be channeled only through a particular bank. If the period for such a requirement is limited, there is likely to be pressure on both the bank and the would-be customers because of long queues. For cases like that, there is a need to simulate possible scenarios and plan to avoid delays and frustrations for both parties. This work proposes a queue simulation model that can be used to forecast the number of bank staff that can be deployed for such a scenario vis a vis the expected number of customers seeking service. Results have shown that the simulation model can help the bank management make optimal choices that will avoid waste in the form of human or financial resources.
Expectativas reflexivas e afetividade na difusão dos sistemas de produção agrícola
Authors: Machado Gustavo Bittencourt
Published: May 2023

Este artigo é resultado de pesquisa tem o objetivo de compreender como se formam e transmitem-se expectativas que são determinantes na geração e difusão de conhecimento tecnologias entre os agentes econômicos, particularmente de comunidades rurais. A afetividade, em âmbito familiar e em comunidade, é o elo determinante na permanência e transformação dos conhecimentos no tempo. As expectativas movem-se entre os agentes econômicos mediante reflexividade, em relação dialógica, plurilógica entre os sujeitos econômicos e sociais que observam, assimilam, são atingidos, dialogam, aprovam, refutam os conhecimentos aplicados que se consolidam em sistemas de produção econômicos, agrícolas e de atividades, assegurando-se similaridades e diferenciações, que estruturam a diversidade entre os tipos de sistemas, mas que, de forma reflexiva, conformam um sistema agrário. Essas categorias contribuem para se compreender como se estruturam os sistemas de produção agrícola e de atividades em comunidades, em um sistema agrário. Por que as técnicas e tecnologias assemelham-se em um sistema agrário? Por que as combinações de subsistemas de cultivo, criação e beneficiamento acompanham uma mesma tendência organizacional e tecnológica em uma comunidade ou sistema agrário? Tendência organizacional e tecnológica que estrutura um tipo de sistema de produção agrícola e de atividades, mas que também se relaciona com outros tipos de tendências de sistemas de produção agrícola e de atividades tanto para expansão e difusão quanto ao desaparecimento em virtude de fatores tecnológicos, econômicos ou ambientais. A partir da análise das tipologias, a difusão de sistemas de produção agrícola e de atividades ocorre por expectativas reflexivas ou por afetividade ou por ambos os processos de forma diferenciada.

O objetivo desse Trabalho foi buscar uma alternativa que possa combinar equidade e efetividade na triagem de currículo, considerando o gap existente nessa parte do processo de recrutamento e seleção. Estudos comprovam que a triagem de currículos pode promover discriminação de gênero, cor e idade, além de apontar que os recrutadores têm contato apenas com 10% a 20% das candidaturas. Assim, com a proposta de reduzir ou eliminar tal disparidade, é apresentado o Currículo Inclusivo, um modelo que combina a padronização na confecção do currículo e a adoção de um score, capaz de identificar o perfil do profissional e atender a expectativa inicial do recrutador. Para isso, desenvolveu-se uma formulação matemática adaptada da Prova direta, utilizando-se, dentro desse conceito, a lógica dos axiomas, teoremas e definições já existentes e, a partir dessa estruturação, abordando seis dimensões: escolaridade, experiência profissional, experiência empreendedora, autenticidade virtual, TIN (tecnologia, inovação e negócios) e relacionamento virtual. Pelos resultados gerados, percebe-se que o Currículo Inclusivo pode promover um avanço na triagem de currículos, tornando-o mais ágil e focado e em acordo com o objetivo desse tipo de processo. Ao profissional, uma possibilidade de participação em processos mais equitativos e menos subjetivos, o que pode aumentar a sua chance de contratação. Ao recrutador, a possibilidade de contato com o maior número possível de candidatos na busca do profissional ideal.
