Published: December 2024

The use of private cars has reached a total of 23,230,297 units. The number of car users, either for delivering goods, means of transportation, or for personal interests makes it easier for drivers to carry out their activities. Mobile vehicles have their way of keeping the car in good condition, such as automatic car services and clutch cars with different ways of handling. Car accidents cannot be separated from problems when traveling, for example, tires leaking due to punctured nails, crashing tires, and accidents stuck in holes. The limited number of people who know the location of the nearest workshop to the current location can cause confusion and have to ask people around from the workshop needed and there are still many motorists who have not been able to take good care of their cars Current technological developments I propose an online workshop application so that instead of asking people around it will be easier if from a smartphone you can bring the workshop itself to the location or the house,  People can order home service services so that it is easier for people to check the car from home.

The main problems of international succession law
Authors: Tatar Olga
Published: December 2024

International inheritance law is a set of norms regulating hereditary relations, which are directly related to the legal order of several states. Inheritance relations are a very “conservative” sphere of civil turnover, connected with moral ideas, family customs and established traditions in society. In such countries as: the USA, Canada, Australia, inheritance does not matter, but the liquidation of the property of the testator, which is carried out in the form of a separate procedure and under the direct control of the court. Upon completion of the personal administration procedure, the remaining property will be forwarded to the heirs. The opening of an inheritance is a legal fact, as a result of which inheritance relations are created.
Types and forms of victimization: conceptual theoretical updates, analyzes and interpretations
Authors: Samoilenco Victoria
Published: December 2024

Victimization as a process of transformation of a person into a victim, represents one of the objects of study of victimology. It is a reverse phenomenon of criminalization as the transformation of a person into a criminal. Just as the criminalization of a person occurs through different methods, victimization also involves certain variations. The types and forms of victimization have been elucidated in the field of victimological science since the time of the scholars who carried out pioneering research in this discipline. Their knowledge is essential for victim therapy, for the organization of the victimological service itself, for a fair approach to the victim in the criminal process, etc. And yet, it is important to return to them with some updates, because social relations have evolved significantly, the aggressors diversifying and essentially changing their mode of operation. We live in a digital age where it often happens that people are victimized without direct contact with the aggressor, even without knowing him. Online victimization today takes a variety of forms, some quite brutal, causing some people to commit suicide acts and other self-harm. Online, people often become victims of various types of scammers, but they are also threatened, blackmailed, harassed, defamed etc. Against the background of the new realities, there is a need to reconsider the phenomenon of victimization and to propose new typologies and classifications. This is actually the purpose of this research. We will also note that until now, the forms and types of victimization have been rather rudimentarily scientifically substantiated, many aspects have been omitted, including certain cultural variations that condition the phenomenon of victimization which have not been taken into consideration.

Authors: Ciobanu Vlad
Published: December 2024

The dynamics of the current social relations in the present day era, still remain co-dependent on doctrines such as punishment and sanctions – procedures which are embodied by the law in various manners. One of the oldest and well-establish sanction in time, but also in practice is the fine- a classical, pecuniary and easy to understand penalty. In the realm of Contravention law– the fine has its own distinct features, with specific procedures, with numerous advantages, and at the same time- with subtle, but weighing weaknesses. The present paper breaks down the particularities and the procedures applicable to the contravention fine, some substitutes for the fine, and it delves on the question: Presently, does the contravention fine fulfill the aim pursued by the contravention law through the system of sanctions that it features?

The assumption that engagement is somehow strongly correlated with performance is misplaced. Traditional engagement metrics such as satisfaction, happiness, well-being let alone cannot explain behaviours, actions and motivation of a high-performance team. Moreover, there is hardly any strong scientific evidence suggesting that there is a correlation between high-engagement and high-performance.

Authors: S. Raja , Ali Rusho Maher , Singh Chirag , Mohamed Khalaf Ali , Hussein Ismael Sajida , Ahmed Abdul Qader Esraa , Nizar Jawad Zainab , Ahmed Mustafa Mohammed , Praveen Kumar Avvaru
Published: December 2024

Such rapid advancement places FDM as a transformative technology in additive manufacturing generally, and particularly into the context of the fabrication of complex geometries using bio-based polymers. However, with such inherent limitations regarding their mechanical and thermal properties, these face significant obstacles that need innovative approaches toward improvement. Surface functionalization is now considered one of the frontline strategies in the advanced improvements of the interfacial properties and durability of biobased polymers within FDM applications and represents opportunities for enhancing material performance. This paper discusses recent advances in surface functionalization methods, including plasma treatment, grafting, and nanocoatings applied to optimize PLA, PHA, and their composites functionality. These techniques tune the surface properties at the molecular level and consequently strengthen adhesion, minimize moisture intake, and enhance thermal stability toward improved mechanical properties and longer operating time for the printed parts. Our findings indicate that incorporating functionalization of the surface in the FDM process overcomes some of the challenges of bio-based polymers and achieves the targets of sustainable manufacturing. The work underlines contemporary methods and shows both their implications and practical effects, thus opening a path to future research and industrial applications in high-performance eco-friendly materials.

Published: December 2024

Ceramic brick masonry elements constitute the largest number of structural systems of historic buildings, especially sacral and public utility buildings. In the past, they were also very commonly used as a material for the construction of military facilities.
Historic buildings and masonry structures undergo destructive processes over time, the course of which can be very diverse and depends, among other things, on the physicochemical properties of the materials, the type of structure, the age of the building, working conditions and random conditions and events.
The paper is an engineering review of the causes of damage to masonry structures and indicates the need for cooperation between representatives of various specialties of science and technology, in particular architectural historians, specialists in the field of conservation of monuments, structural engineers and specialists in the field of geotechnics, geology, hydrogeologists and meliorators in order to ensure the protection of masonry structures in historic buildings.
Cause-and-effect Analysis of Anthropogenic and Natural Aspects in the Process of Assessing the Material Heritage Resource in Underground Mining Adaptation Planning
Authors: Radziejowska Aleksandra , Wieja Tomasz
Published: December 2024

The ongoing energy transformation requires legal and economic intervention by the Polish government to phase out unprofitable mining enterprises, especially in the coal mining sector. The poorly executed process mentioned above may lead not only to environmental degradation but also to social problems (rupture of interpersonal relationships, elimination of traditions, eradication of cultural behaviors). Therefore, an effective solution to this problem may be the adaptation of the aforementioned facilities for tourism purposes. These facilities have significant potential related to mining heritage and geodiversity. The article defines basic criteria related to mining heritage and examines the cause-and-effect relationships using the DEMATEL method. The outcome of this process will be an attempt to develop requirements for anthropogenic intervention in underground excavations in interaction with the preservation of cultural, material, and geodiversity heritage (master plan).

Authors: Suh Soyoung
Published: December 2024

Purpose: This study investigates the medical application of X-rays and radium in treating female patients in 1930s Korea.Methods: This research analyzes 1930s newspapers, medical journals, and women’s magazines to explore public perceptions of the healing and harmful effects of therapeutic radiation.Results: This study found that women’s bodies served as key sites for introducing new medical knowledge and technologies. Identified primarily as patients, housewives, and consumers, women contributed to normalizing radiation use in public and domestic settings, despite the lack of established safety standards. The transnational flow of medical devices, expertise, and personnel also highlighted both shared and distinct experiences of radiation therapy across national and imperial boundaries.Conclusion: While no direct causality links those varied experiences, comparing cases such as a Korean woman skeptical of radiation for breast cancer, a Japanese housewife who sued over radiation burns, and an American nurse whose expertise with X-rays conflicted with her caregiving role, offer insights into the meaning of modern medicine in colonial Korea.

Authors: Phuyal Navindra , Shrestha Anusuya , Bhandari Rosha , Adhikari Bidur , Gautam Jyoti , Dhungel Deepesh , Gautam Subina , Ranjit Nirju
Published: December 2024

Introduction Variations in anatomy of thyroid gland include the occasional presence of a pyramidal lobe and a fibromuscular band called levator glandulae thyroideae. These variations affect the gland's morphometry and morphology. This study aimed to study morphometry and variation prevalence of thyroid gland. 
MethodsThis descriptive study examined adult cadavers from the Department of Forensic Medicine at Maharajgunj Medical Campus. Measurements of the length, breadth, and thickness of both lateral lobes and the isthmus were taken. The presence or absence of the isthmus, pyramidal lobe, and levator glandulae thyroideae was recorded, along with the origin and dimensions of the pyramidal lobe, if present.
ResultsThe mean dimensions of the right lobe were 43.88±6.88 mm (length), 23.93±4.76 mm (breadth), and 12.28±3.30 mm (thickness). For the left lobe, the measures were 40.47±7.26 mm, 21.95±4.22 mm, and 12.84±3.61 mm, respectively. The isthmus had mean dimensions of 18.12±5.52 mm, 16.65±5.51 mm, and 5.10±1.76 mm. The isthmus was absent in 7.2% of cases. The pyramidal lobe, present in 27.8% of cases, had mean dimensions of 19.17±8.26 mm, 11.64±3.47 mm, and 4.60±1.33 mm, typically originating from the center of the isthmus. The average weight of the thyroid gland was 16.19±5.22 g.
ConclusionThe thyroid gland's weight was higher in males and positively correlated with the individual's height. Also, thyroid gland's dimensions and weight were less than those described in standard texts. The relationship between body weight and thyroid gland weight warrants further investigation.
