Authors: Vakulenko N. O.
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the study of the problematic issue of the application of the norms of criminal procedure law, which makes it possible to suspend court proceedings in connection with the conscription of the accused for military service during mobilization, for a special period. The method of analysis and proposing ways to resolve this issue is to ensure a fair balance between the tasks of Ukraine, which are left to it by military operations, on the one hand, and ensuring the implementation of high-quality legal reforms, etc. The article analyzes the scientific literature and judicial practice, in which a unified approach to the interpretation of the norms of criminal procedure law related to the suspension of court proceedings has not yet been formed. The literal, systemic, comparative and functional approach to the interpretation of these norms is highlighted, it is demonstrated which approaches prevail in judicial practice and scientific literature. Separate aspects of the suspension and postponement of court proceedings are investigated, their differences in legal nature and the consequences that they cause for court proceedings are highlighted.
The analysis of individual components of the norms on the suspension of judicial proceedings was carried out, it was determined what should be understood by suspension, what documents can confirm the passage of military service by a person and which persons are authorized to provide such documents. The legal consequences of dismissal from military service, unauthorized abandonment of a military unit or place of service, voluntary surrender to captivity in the context of judicial proceedings are described. Within the framework of this study, attention is drawn to the addition and presentation of the norms of criminal procedural legislation in cases that contribute to the implementation of the principles provided for in criminal procedural legislation. The prospects for amending Part 1 of Article 335 of the Code of Criminal Procedure of Ukraine, with the obligations of judges to clarify the features of the possibility or impossibility of claimants to participate in a lawsuit, in order to be able to consider the case faster and more efficiently, to legitimately decide the issue of the need to suspend judicial proceedings in criminal proceedings during martial law in Ukraine, are considered.

Authors: Stetsiuk N. V. , Parasiuk V. M. , Zdrenyk I. V.
Published: February 2025

This research is dedicated to analyzing the impact of judiciary digitalization on the development of deontological principles of professional activities of judicial process participants. In modern conditions, digital technologies become an integral part of the legal system, changing the traditional methods of work of judges, lawyers, investigators, and other specialists. The implementation of electronic case management systems, online conferences, and digital communication tools enhances the efficiency and accessibility of judicial services, reduces the time for case review, and decreases the risks of corruption. However, this process is accompanied by challenges such as ensuring cybersecurity, protecting personal data, and providing equal access to digital resources for all participants. Digitalization also affects the ethical norms and professional responsibility of judicial process participants. Enhancing the transparency of judicial processes requires professionals to adhere to principles of honesty and openness, as well as ensuring the confidentiality of information. The use of electronic communication tools imposes the need to maintain high ethical standards in the virtual space, including avoiding conflicts of interest and ensuring fairness in interactions between parties. One of the key aspects of the study is the necessity for ongoing professional training and adaptation to rapid technological changes. Participants in the judicial process must master new digital tools, understand their capabilities and risks, which promotes the development of ethical awareness and professional competence. This ensures high quality of judicial decisions and increases public trust in the judicial system. The conclusions of the study emphasize that the digitalization of the judiciary is a catalyst for the development of deontological principles of professional activity, contributing to the creation of a more transparent, fair, and reliable judicial system. The integration of digital technologies not only enhances the efficiency of judicial processes but also forms new ethical standards, which are the foundation for modern legal practice.
The institute for the seizure of property and the guarantee of the inviolability of the right to property: some aspects
Authors: Vishevnyk N. B.
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the study of the institution of property seizure in criminal proceedings in Ukraine and its impact on the guarantees of the inviolability of property rights. I analyse the current legislation, in particular the provisions of the Constitution of Ukraine, the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine (hereinafter – «the CPC of Ukraine»), as well as the international standards of protection of property rights established by the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter – «the ECHR», «the Court»). The article emphasises the importance of maintaining a balance between the public interest and the rights of the owner, and also discusses the key issues relating to the application of property confiscation.
One of the most problematic aspects is the optional participation of the property owner in court proceedings related to the seizure of property, which contradicts the principles of adversarial proceedings, access to justice and proportionality of interference with property rights. The author draws attention to the lack of a clear definition of the concept of «restriction of property rights» in the CPC of Ukraine, as well as in doctrinal sources, and the absence of a mechanism to ensure effective protection of the rights of persons whose property is seized. This creates conditions for potential abuse by law enforcement agencies and violates the rights of property owners to peaceful enjoyment of their property.
Particular attention is paid to the analysis of ECHR case law, which requires that any interference with property rights must be provided for by law, be in the public interest and ensure a fair balance between the interests of society and the individual. In particular, these aspects will be considered in the light of the ECHR’s position in Brumarescu v. Romania, Sporrong and Lennroth v. Sweden, and others, which establish that the imposition of an ‘excessive burden’ on the owner of property is contrary to the principle of proportionality.

Authors: Shestopalov R. M.
Published: February 2025

The article is devoted to the disclosure of the organizational and legal principles of the prosecutor’s activity in combating crimes related to arson of military vehicles. In connection with the need to disclose the purpose of this scientific work, it is proposed to consider the specifics of the criminal-legal qualification of such acts, to determine the algorithm of organization of the prosecutor’s procedural management of the pretrial investigation of crimes of this category, and to provide practical advice on countering such a criminal-legal phenomenon.
Considerable attention was paid to the analysis and generalization of studied real criminal proceedings about crimes of this category, which made it possible to identify the main problematic issues of prosecutorial and investigative activity in this area, including: the issue of primary qualification, the definition of the pretrial investigation body, the tactics and methods of organizing pretrial procedural management by the prosecutor investigation.
On specific examples, attention is focused on the need to carefully study the subjective side of related, in this case, crimes that involve criminal liability for the intentional destruction (damage) of someone else’s property (in the context of this article – a military vehicle), committed by arson, as well as obstructing the legal activities of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Certain methodical recommendations are given in this regard.
In addition to suggestions for improving the prosecutor’s criminal and criminal-procedural activities, an effective algorithm of organizational and coordination measures of the prosecutor’s office to combat crimes related to arson of military vehicles was proposed in this direction. In particular, the creation of interdepartmental working groups with the involvement of representatives of law enforcement agencies (prosecutors’ offices, the National Police, the Security Service of Ukraine, the Military Law and Order Service), as well as state executive and local self-government bodies. The essence, purpose, forms and methods of their activity are disclosed.

Authors: Bielova M. V. , Byelov D. M.
Published: February 2025

It is indicated that the development of a democratic legal state requires increased attention to the issue of ensuring integrity in the functioning of state authorities. The traditional understanding of integrity as a moral and ethical category is evolving, turning into a fundamental legal institution and an essential component of legal ideology in modern society. The significance of this issue is significantly increasing in view of Ukraine’s European integration aspirations and the need to bring the public administration system into line with international standards.
The article examines the essence and features of integrity in state authorities as an element of the legal ideology of modern society. The evolution of the concept of integrity in the regulatory and legal field of Ukraine and its transformation from a moral and ethical category to an important legal institution are revealed. The relationship between integrity and legal ideology is analyzed through the formation of a system of values in society, where ethical behavior of officials becomes a mandatory requirement. Special attention is paid to the study of various approaches to understanding integrity, including moral-ethical, socio-psychological, political and legal aspects. The role of integrity as a preventive mechanism in the system of anti-corruption regulation and its importance for ensuring citizens’ trust in state institutions is highlighted. The modern system of ensuring integrity in state authorities of Ukraine is analyzed, which includes mechanisms for preventing conflicts of interest, financial control and ethical behavior of public servants. It is substantiated that integrity is a key element of legal ideology, which determines the orientation of state authorities’ activities to ensuring public interests and compliance with the principles of the rule of law. Institutional mechanisms for ensuring integrity are considered, including the creation of specialized bodies and the introduction of new control instruments. The role of integrity in the process of modernization of the civil service and its importance for the formation of a professional corps of civil servants are determined. The importance of a comprehensive approach to ensuring integrity, covering both legal and organizational aspects, is emphasized.

Certain issues of the application of equity law in cases related to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine
Authors: Yegorov A. Y.
Published: February 2025

The author of this scientific article examines the prerequisites and future prospects for the application of equity law (also known as «common law») as an element of the Anglo-Saxon legal family in resolving legal disputes related to the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Specifically, the article explores the peculiarities of applying principles prevalent in equity law, such as the principle of equity and the principle of trust. Additionally, the mechanism of estoppel is analyzed, which can be used to protect the property rights of citizens, other individuals, and legal entities, as well as to restore justice in conditions of an insufficient legal framework to resolve such legal issues.
At the same time, the author does not limit the study to theoretical aspects of equity law within the Anglo-Saxon legal family but also conducts a comparative analysis of approaches to this legal phenomenon within the continental legal family. The article compares the approaches of these legal systems to resolving legal disputes in crisis conditions, including cases of military occupation and armed conflict. Particular attention is paid to existing international precedents, including the practices of the European Court of Human Rights, the International Criminal Court, and decisions of national courts in states with Anglo-Saxon legal systems. The possibilities of implementing these approaches into Ukraine’s national judicial practice are also considered.
The article separately addresses the existing legal regulation of relations in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine, including legislative acts, judicial practice, and international standards. It proposes the adaptation of equity law principles to improve the resolution of property disputes, compensation for damages, and protection of the interests of legal entities. Recommendations are provided for enhancing Ukraine’s judicial practice in resolving international and cross-border disputes.
Issues of implementation of international legal norms in the field of migration into the national legal system of the Republic of Azerbaijan
Authors: Zeynalova-Sultanova N.
Published: February 2025

It is indicated оne of the scientific paradigms of modern international law, which has theoretical and practical significance, are issues related to the national legal implementation of international legal norms. Considering that the norms of international law related to migration arose as a need of our time, the importance of implementing this category of legal norms in national law becomes more obvious. In this context, the national legal implementation of international legal norms in the field of migration has both theoretical and practical significance. The increase in the number of international treaties in this area requires the inclusion of the provisions of “these international treaties in national legislation”.
The article examines the national legal implementation of international legal norms in the field of migration. The specifics of the national legal implementation are determined by the example of the national legal system of the Republic of Azerbaijan (AR). To do this, the legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan is analyzed. The approaches existing in the legal doctrine to determining the features of national legal implementation are analyzed comparatively. In particular, the positions in the national legal doctrine of the Republic of Azerbaijan on this issue, which is a constant object of research, are analyzed. Based on this analysis, the features characteristic of the national legal implementation of international legal norms in the field of migration are determined. These features are not only due to the specifics of the migration sphere but are also determined by the peculiarities of the legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan. In this sense, the implementation of international legal norms in the field of migration in the national legal system of the Republic of Azerbaijan attracts attention with two important features. Firstly, the implementation of international legal acts on migration in our country includes both legislative measures and a set of institutional measures. Secondly, the main purpose of this process is to influence public life by improving the rights of migrants and to make a motivational contribution to the migration legal relations of the Republic of Azerbaijan as a whole. The implementation of international legal norms in the field of migration into the national legal system of the Republic of Azerbaijan is a set of national legal and organizational means of applying international legal norms in the field of migration. In this sense, international treaties to which the Republic of Azerbaijan is a party related to international migration law include an incorporated type of implementation, acting as part of the national legislative system of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Characteristics of criminal organizations which commit crimes in the field of surrogacy
Authors: Operuk V. I. , Vozniuk A. A. , Dyakin Y. O.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the characteristics of criminal associations committing crimes in surrogacy with a view to its further use in the detection and investigation of these torts.
Customers of services in the field of criminal commercial surrogacy are primarily foreigners (citizens of France, Italy, Germany, China, and other countries, including those with a prohibited surrogacy regime).
Members of criminal associations specializing in commercial surrogacy use secrecy measures to prevent their exposure and prosecution for human trafficking and other criminal offenses: conceal information about the surrogate mother’s fictitious marriage to a foreign client, about the presence of a common biological child; communicate in closed groups (for example, in the Viber messenger); prohibit surrogate mothers from informing third parties about the onset of pregnancy, participation in the surrogacy program, registration with doctors to monitor the course of pregnancy, etc.
The victims of the torts under study are persons who are in a vulnerable state due to a combination of difficult life circumstances and voluntarily agree to participate in commercial surrogacy programs but may be subject to coercion in the future.
Organizers of surrogacy crimes may include persons who establish and manage medical centers (e.g., hold the position of director). The members of criminal organizations that commit these torts are primarily persons working in medical services, lawyers, translators, and persons with connections to customers. Other persons (e.g., medical professionals, lawyers) may be involved in these criminal activities who do not have information about the criminal purpose of the criminal organization since the line between legal and criminal surrogacy is insignificant.

Authors: Bysiuk O. S. , Mushenok V. V.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the state of regulatory and legal support for the transition of the domestic budget system to European standards of the country’s income generation. Scientific understanding of the formation of the national policy for the formation of state revenues and the implementation of a comparative legal analysis of the existing international and national experience in this area are determined to be necessary. The positions of the formed scientific doctrine regarding the economic and legal basis for the creation of a national strategy of budget revenues are analyzed and it is summarized that the specified process in the conditions of modern global challenges is not sufficiently widely reflected in modern scientific intelligence, which prompts the author team to study individual features of the international legal regulation of the strategy for the formation of budget revenues income An analysis of the National Revenue Strategy until 2030 was carried out and its main prospects were determined: increasing the level of public trust in public administration bodies, increasing the fiscal capacity of Ukraine, adapting tax and customs legislation to EU standards, forming economic incentives for the post-war recovery of our state, etc. It was determined that the basis of income formation in the EU is ensuring the lawful behavior of subjects of financial relations. Prevention of such offenses as fraud in relation to revenues, expenditures and assets of the general budget of the EU, financial transactions related to borrowing and lending. Attention is drawn to the experience of forming a national income strategy in individual EU member states (Germany, France) and Japan. It has been established that with effective legal regulation and an effective implementation mechanism, countries have achieved a high level of tax and budget transparency and minimization of offenses. A perspective for Ukraine, along with the implementation of a number of innovations in the formation and implementation of the budget strategy, is the experience of close cooperation between the scientific community and public administration entities, where an important additional role in the development and implementation of the revenue strategy is played by scientific research institutes, expert councils, scientists who form forecasts of multifaceted development of the state. It is proposed to implement the legislative consolidation in Ukraine of the need for cooperation with research advisory and consulting organizations and scientists-specialists in the formation and implementation of the national budget strategy.
Peculiarities of the procedure for preliminary investigation of a case in international criminal courts
Authors: Osipov V. I.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the preliminary investigation procedure in international criminal courts, which is of paramount importance for the proper functioning of international criminal justice. It is the first stage in the investigation and prosecution of persons who have committed the most serious crimes of international significance, in particular genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. The preliminary investigation procedure is carried out before the case is transferred to the main judicial proceedings and is critically important for ensuring justice, as well as for protecting the rights of suspects and victims of these crimes.
It is noted that the preliminary investigation procedure is aimed at establishing facts and evidence that indicate the presence of serious grounds for initiating a criminal case at the international level. It involves verifying information about possible international crimes and is aimed at ensuring fair and effective judicial proceedings. Since the preliminary investigation is an important stage of the criminal process, its features and procedural aspects require detailed study.
One of the main bodies conducting preliminary investigations in international criminal courts is the ICC Prosecutor. It can initiate investigations through various channels, including communications from States Parties or even on its own initiative, if there are sufficient grounds to believe that crimes within the jurisdiction of the Court have been committed. At this stage, it is important to assess the sufficiency of the evidence to initiate the main proceedings, as well as to take into account political and legal factors that may influence the decision to initiate the case.
The preliminary investigation covers several key aspects: gathering evidence, verifying the facts, considering potential violations of international law and resolving the issue of the Court’s jurisdiction over specific events. Cooperation with other international organizations, States and human rights structures is also an important element.
When considering the specifics of the preliminary investigation, it should also be noted that at this stage it is important to take into account international and national legal norms, as well as the specific circumstances that may arise within the framework of specific crimes.
In conclusion, the preliminary investigation procedure is an integral part of international criminal justice. Given the relevance of this topic, it is important to continue research and improvement of international legal standards aimed at improving this procedure, which in turn will contribute to the development of international criminal justice.
Difficulties in proving guilt in criminal proceedings related to collaboration: technical and legal aspects
Authors: Holdberh N. O. , Bertash A. P.
Published: February 2025

The article examines the specific difficulties faced by law enforcement agencies in proving collaboration in the context of a military conflict. The author analyzes the technical and legal aspects that complicate the process of establishing guilt, such as access to objective evidence, credibility of testimony, authenticity of digital materials, and compliance of evidence with the standards of Ukrainian and international law. The author analyzes the two-element structure of the subject matter of proof - general and special elements. The author proposes approaches to solving problems related to access to evidence in the occupied territories and verification of the reliability of the information collected, which will contribute to the observance of the principles of justice and the rule of law in the context of armed conflict.
The study of the problems of the evidence base in criminal proceedings for collaborationism points to numerous legal and practical difficulties that arise during the collection and evaluation of evidence. Establishing an evidence base in such proceedings is a complex process due to the specifics of collaboration activities, which in most cases are carried out under pressure or threat of violence, which casts doubt on the voluntariness and consciousness of such actions. Establishing the fact of collaboration with the occupying forces requires direct and reliable evidence, such as written documents, testimonies, audio and video recordings, but there are often difficulties in accessing such materials, their reliability and authenticity. Of particular importance is electronic evidence, including correspondence, bank transactions, mobile data, social media and video recordings. Their use in litigation requires careful verification of their reliability and connection with other evidence, which increases the requirements for technical means of verification and procedural support.
It is concluded that an effective investigation of criminal offenses related to collaborationism requires the integration of traditional and modern methods of proof, in particular, a thorough examination of electronic evidence and testimony supported by other facts.

Capillary blood is not accurate in predicting blood ammonia values using an ammonia point-of-care test in dogs
Authors: Biehl Kathryn E. , Wallace Mandy L. , Cunningham Morgan
Published: February 2025

Objective

To compare results for blood ammonia (BA) concentrations measured with a point-of-care (POC) device versus commercial diagnostic assay (CDA) for venous and capillary blood samples from dogs with normal BA and hyperammonemia.

Methods

Dogs were prospectively enrolled from January 2024 through July 2024 and grouped as being healthy (controls), having liver disease with normal BA, or having liver disease with hyperammonemia. All dogs had BA concentrations determined with a venous sample run on a CDA, a venous sample run on an ammonia POC device (POC venous [POC-V] method), and a capillary blood sample run on an ammonia POC device (POC capillary [POC-C] method). The results were compared across methods.

Results

46 dogs were enrolled: 15 healthy dogs and 31 dogs with liver disease with normal BA (n = 16) or hyperammonemia (n = 15). The mean biases for BA concentration as measured with the POC-V and POC-C methods compared with the CDA method were –54.3 µg/dL (95% CI, −76.8 to 32.0) and 1.4 µg/dL (95% CI, −36.0 to 38.7), respectively. The mean bias of the POC-C method versus the POC-V method was 55.7 µg/dL (95% CI, 30.4 to 81.0). For the 31 dogs with CDA results for BA within reference limits, all were similarly classified with the POC-V method, whereas 25 of 31 (81%) were classified as normal with the POC-C method.

Conclusions

The BA in the POC-V and POC-C groups was, on average, underestimated when compared to the CDA. The BA in the POC-C group was consistently overestimated when compared to the POC-V group. Although both POC methods had good agreement in the classification of normal BA values, venous (vs capillary) samples yielded better results.

Clinical Relevance

The use of a POC device to measure BA in venous blood, but not capillary blood, may be an alternative to CDAs in emergency settings.
Fishery stock dynamics in the Baltic Sea: The dichotomy between total allowable catch limits and spawning stock biomass
Authors: Rosciszewski-Dodgson Michael J. , Cirella Giuseppe T.
Published: February 2025

When managing heavily exploited fisheries, the primary objective is ensuring the long-term sustainability of stocks. Policy makers employ various measures to achieve this, with one important approach being the establishment of total allowable catch (TAC) limits for commercial fish stocks. These limits are set to maintain a target level that can sustain or rebuild the spawning stock biomass (SSB), which is an indicator of a stock’s reproductive capacity. Ideally, a strong correlation between TAC quotas and SSB exists, indicating that reductions in TAC are positively impacting SSB. However, in practice, the influence of TAC quotas on fish populations is diminished by other factors affecting reproductive capabilities. This study conducted on the eight most commercially valuable stocks in the Baltic Sea examined this relationship using statistical analysis. The findings revealed that five stocks exhibited a strong-to-moderate positive association between variables, while data for the remaining three stocks were insufficient. The results indicated that stocks with a strong correlation between TAC limits and SSB can be managed more effectively, offering greater potential for sustainability. In contrast, those without this correlation need a more holistic approach that incorporates external ecological factors, as management alone may not suffice to prevent declines. Future strategies should balance TAC and SSB while considering broader environmental factors to ensure sustainable stock dynamics.
Adjustment Cost on Investment and Under-Utilization of Maximum Installed Capacity in South Korean Business Cycle - A Bayesian New Keynensian Model
Authors: Al Mamun Tuhin G M , Ehsanullah
Published: February 2025

This study examines the effects of adjustment costs on investment and the under-utilization of maximum installed capacity within the South Korea using a New Keynesian business cycle with Bayesian approach. The New Keynesian business cycle model that incorporates both investment frictions as well as capital under-utilization. The model has been calibrated specifically for South Korea economy. The model estimation uses Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods along with the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm to draw samples from the posterior distributions parameters of the model.

The fitness of the model is rigorously validated through several tests. It includes likelihood ratio tests, out-of-sample forecasting test. Policy metrics coefficient reveals that productivity shock has immense effects on investment dynamics and capacity utilization. The research includes a thorough examination of policy response coefficients, correlations among economic variables and variance decomposition. By examining these studies, it is clear that adjustment costs have a significant impact on economic fluctuations and it becomes crucial to consider these effects in policy formulation.

The model’s robustness is verified through sensitivity analysis, which involves checking the convergence and efficiency of various MCMC simulations and varying degrees of mark-up price and wage shocks. This research provides valuable insights into how adjustment costs and policy responses shape the South Korean business cycle and provides implications for economic policy and management.
Influence of high-speed arc metallization wire feed rate on tribological and corrosion properties of 30HGSA steel coatings
Authors: Rakhadilov Bauyrzhan , Shynarbek Aibek , Kakimzhanov Dauir , Muktanova Nazerke , Kusainov Rinat
Published: February 2025

This study investigates the influence of wire feed rate on the porosity of coatings, elemental analysis, corrosion resistance, tribological properties, and microstructure of iron-based coatings deposited by high-speed arc metallization. The coatings were obtained using a SX-600 high-speed electric arc metallizer. The properties of Fe-based coatings depend on the arc-sputtering parameters. Determination of the optimum arc spraying parameters helps to minimize the deterioration of coating properties. Increasing the wire feed speed leads to an increase in the current value, which generates more heat energy in the arc to melt the wire and consequently favours the formation of dense coatings with low porosity. At high temperatures, Fe-based coatings form oxide deposits that protect the coating from further oxidation and increase coating hardness. Tribological tests show that the friction coefficient of coatings decreases in the presence of FeO on the coating surface, activating its self-lubricating ability. Investigation of the porosity of the samples showed that adjusting the wire feed affected both the pore size and the number of pores.

Published: February 2025

Jelly candy is a popular treat enjoyed by a wide range of consumers, from children to adults, due to its sweet taste, chewy texture, and vibrant colors. However, many commercial jelly candies contain synthetic dyes, which can be harmful to health if consumed in large quantities. This study aims to determine the optimal concentration of carrot powder to produce jelly candy with superior beta-carotene content, color, and sensory properties compared to commercial jelly candies. The experiment employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with five levels of carrot powder concentration (0%, 2%, 4%, 8%, and 10%), each treatment repeated three times, resulting in 15 experimental units. The findings revealed that the concentration of carrot powder significantly affected moisture content, ash content, reduced sugar content, total sugar content, beta-carotene content, color intensity, aroma, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. The 2% carrot powder concentration yielded the best jelly candy characteristics, with a moisture content of 18.23%, ash content of 0.18%, reduced sugar content of 6.06%, total sugar content of 50.18%, and beta-carotene content of 3352.33 ?g/100g. The color measurements were L* = 68.03, a* = 35.3, b* = 54.73, chroma = 65.22, and HUE = 24.10. The resulting jelly candy had an appealing orange color, a mild carrot aroma and taste, a chewy texture, and high overall acceptability among panelists. Compared to commercial jelly candies, the jelly candies produced in this study had a higher beta-carotene content and were more favorably received by panelists.

Published: February 2025

Culture media are essential for providing nutrients that support the growth of probiotic bacteria. Reducing the concentration of substrates like peptone can lower production costs, but it may also slow down the growth of the probiotic bacteria. This study aims to optimize the concentration of fish peptone as a nitrogen source in culture media and determine the most efficient concentration for supporting the growth of the probiotic L. plantarum Kita-3. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed, with peptone concentrations (12,5%, 18,75%, 25%) as treatment factors. Each treatment was repeated twice, resulting in six experimental units. Descriptive analysis was used for data examination, while total LAB was analyzed using the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis statistical method. The Mann-Whitney test was conducted if significant effects (P<0.05) were detected among treatments. Results indicated that the peptone concentration from fish did not significantly affect (P>0.05) the growth of L. plantarum Kita-3. The optimal concentration of fish peptone for supporting the growth of L. plantarum Kita-3 was determined to be 12,5%, with a final incubation pH of 3,87, final total LAB of 9,05 log cfu/ml, probiotic powder weight of 5,20 gr, and total LAB in the probiotic powder reaching 11,28 log cfu/gr.

A Review: Potensi Pengembangan Pati Resisten Dengan Modifikasi Autoclaving-cooling Sebagai Pangan Fungsional
Authors: Puspawati Ni Nyoman , Adyeni Wayan Dewi , Setiarto R. Haryo Bimo
Published: February 2025

Starch modification is an activity that aims to change the physical or chemical properties of starch as needed, especially to increase the level of resistant starch (RS). One modification technique that has been widely practiced is autoclaving-cooling. The purpose of this review is to evaluate the potential of devekoping resistant starch with autoclaving-cooling modification in root crops and its functional effects. Autoclaving-cooling is a physical modification technique that can produce etrogradable starch, which can reduce starch digestibility and increase resistant starch content. The main functional effect of foods containing resistant starch is that they can be fermented by the microbiota in the colon, which is know as the prebiotic effect. Prebiotics are utilized by probiotic bacteria as selective substrates in metabolism that produce short-chain fatty acids (SCFA). Short-chain fatty acids, especially acetate, propionate, and butyrate, have various effect, including a role in obesity management, diabetes, and liver disease.

Currently, especially among teenage girls, there is a strong trend towards skincare. This includes care for the face, hair, and body. Body care aims not only for appearance but also for skin health and moisture. There are many body care products available on the market, but choosing the right one according to individual needs and skin issues can be challenging due to varying product compositions. Technology is often used to search for information on body care products. However, the information found is often irrelevant or inaccurate. This research aims to assist by developing a body care product recommendation system using Collaborative Filtering method. This recommendation system is built utilizing semantic web technology, and the data will be mapped into an ontology format as the knowledge base. The ontology model will be constructed using the Methontology method, system development using the Prototyping method, and product recommendations offered using the Collaborative Filtering method. The testing phase consists of two stages: usability testing and testing using Mean Absolute Error (MAE). Usability testing using the System Usability Scale (SUS) method from the Acceptability, Grade Scale, and Adjective Rating perspectives obtained an average score of 82.344. The accuracy testing using Mean Absolute Error (MAE) resulted in a value of 0.3556, which implies that the accuracy level obtained is accurate, and the body care product recommendations are good because the closer the value is to 0, the more accurate and better the accuracy towards the given body care product recommendations.

Dalam era digital saat ini, jumlah data yang terus bertambah menandai pentingnya Big Data, yang mencakup data dengan skala besar, variasi, dan kompleksitas yang menantang untuk disimpan, dianalisis, dan divisualisasikan. Prediksi penjualan yang akurat, krusial dalam lingkungan bisnis yang kompetitif dan dinamis, memberikan wawasan krusial bagi perusahaan di berbagai sektor. Algoritma machine learning seperti Random Forest dan Gradient Boosting, yang berbasis pada struktur pohon, populer digunakan untuk tujuan ini. Pengoptimisasian metode menjadi penting untuk meningkatkan kualitas hasil dan relevansi dengan data yang digunakan. Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) merupakan salah satu teknik yang dapat digunakan untuk tujuan ini. Metode Random Forest rentan terhadap overfitting, yang menjadi tantangan utama dalam penggunaannya. Penelitian ini mengevaluasi performa algoritma Random Forest Regression yang dioptimisasi menggunakan Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) untuk prediksi penjualan Superstore, dibandingkan dengan Grid Search dan Randomized Search. Model yang dioptimisasi menggunakan PSO memiliki nilai error sebesar 187,68 pada seluruh data training dan 254,32 pada seluruh data testing. Grid Search memiliki nilai error yang lebih unggul dari PSO namun tidak terlalu signifikan. Disamping itu, PSO memiliki keunggulan dibandingkan algoritma optimisasi lainnya yang dimana memiliki waktu pengoptimasian yang paling singkat yaitu 40 menit 42 detik, dibandingkan Grid Search yang membutuhkan waktu hingga 710 menit 31,5 detik dan PSO memungkinkan pengguna untuk melakukan tuning pada hyperparameter algoritma optimisasi dengan mudah sehingga memungkinkan pengguna untuk mendapatkan hasil optimisasi yang lebih baik. Pengujian Black Box menunjukkan sistem berfungsi dengan baik sesuai kebutuhan pengguna.

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary, Saint Benedict, and Saint Efigenia in Minas Gerais, focusing on the analysis of memory, heritage, and popular culture, as well as the symbolic elements that characterize this cultural manifestation.
 
Theoretical Framework: The research is based on literature about cultural heritage and Rosary festivals. The analysis addresses the relationship between resistance, religiosity, and the affirmation of identities. We explore the contribution of orality in the perpetuation of cultural traditions, drawing on socio-anthropological theories.
 
Method: The methodology employed was mixed, combining literature review and documentary analysis for historical and cultural background, in addition to empirical data collection through interviews, informal conversations, and video analysis, with the goal of understanding the current dynamics of the festival.
 
Results and Discussion: The results indicate that, although the festival has a Catholic character, it preserves and perpetuates elements of Afro-Brazilian culture. It continues to be transmitted orally, from generation to generation, as a lived experience that blends Portuguese Catholicism and Afro-Brazilian tradition, presenting itself as a space of resistance and identity affirmation.
 
Research Implications: This study emphasizes the importance of preserving cultural manifestations as intangible heritage. The formal recognition of these cultural practices can strengthen collective memory and ensure preservation.
 
Originality/Value: The research contributes to the understanding of the festival as a cultural phenomenon that reflects the interaction of different cultures. Its originality lies in the analysis of the symbolic elements of the festival and in the appreciation of the transmission of tradition.
