Authors: AVULOĞLU YILMAZ Ece , YÜZBAŞIOĞLU Deniz , ÜNAL Fatma
Published: November 2021

Xylitol (XYL) is a sweetener used as a food additive in the food industry. In the present study, four different genotoxicity assays (chromosomal aberration=CA, sister chromatid exchange=SCE, cytokinesis-block micronucleus cytome=CBMN-Cyt, and comet assays) were conducted to assess the potential genotoxicity of XYL in human lymphocytes. Four concentrations (125, 250, 500, and 1000 μg mL-1) of XYL were applied to lymphocytes obtained from three healthy young donors. The frequency of CA was not significantly affected by 24-h administration of XYL (except 1000 μg mL-1 for the number of CAs). 48 h treatment of XYL increased the frequency of CAs and abnormal cells. However, this increase was significant at only two highest concentrations. XYL significantly increased SCE/cell rate at the two highest concentrations at both treatment times (24 and 48h). Similarly, the frequency of MN, Nuclear buds (NBUDs), and Nucleoplasmic bridges (NPBs) significantly increased by XYL only at the high concentrations. It raised the comet parameters at the two highest concentrations. These observations showed that XYL, only at high concentrations, may have a genotoxic effect on human lymphocytes in vitro. For this reason, it can be concluded that its use at low concentrations may not cause DNA or chromosomal damage.
Tutela judicial efectiva y revisión en casación del uso de la facultad judicial de moderación de la responsabilidad por negligencia prevista en el art. 1103 del Código Civil
Authors: González Valverde Antonio
Published: November 2021

La facultad de moderación judicial de la responsabilidad por el incumplimiento negligente de las obligaciones prevista en el art. 1103 CC es considerada jurisprudencialmente una decisión discrecional del juez de instancia, basada en la equidad y dependiente de las circunstancias del caso que, salvo excepcionalmente, no es susceptible de revisión en casación. Este artículo examina los supuestos de excepción a esa regla y la necesidad de preservar el carácter discrecional de las decisiones evitando, al mismo tiempo, la arbitrariedad. Este equilibrio precisa, de un lado, la exteriorización de los parámetros de aplicación o inaplicación de la facultad de moderación y, de otro, una motivación suficiente de la decisión judicial, que recoja los elementos fácticos y jurídicos que permitan valorarla y que hagan posible, con carácter general, el control jurisdiccional de las decisiones, conforme al contenido y función propios del derecho a la tutela judicial efectiva.
Movilización popular urbana a través de las fiestas y el Carnaval: Barcelona, 1844-1865
Authors: Roca Vernet Jordi
Published: November 2021

Durante el reinado de Isabel II desaparecieron las fiestas cívicas con la excepción de la etapa del Bienio Progresista. Después, la renovación del Carnaval convirtió la fiesta en un espacio de movilización popular en el que un grupo de disidentes del régimen isabelino restauró un ritual similar al de las fiestas cívicas. La popularidad de la fiesta del Carnaval en el primer lustro de la década de los sesenta debe interpretarse en función del contexto de proliferación de fiestas progresistas dedicadas a San Baldomero o las fiestas nacionales de las monarquías liberales. Por lo tanto, el Carnaval devino una fiesta cívica popular en la medida que su renovación fue impulsada por un grupo de profesionales republicanos dedicados a la prensa, al ocio y a la cultura. El éxito de la renovación de la fiesta se basó en la capacidad de implicar a la industria del ocio y la cultura, que vio en la fiesta la posibilidad de atraer a sus establecimientos los sectores populares urbanos.
Un modelo de ciudadanía con vida propia. El miliciano nacional durante la primera mitad del siglo XIX
Authors: Zbiranski Louise
Published: November 2021

Durante el siglo xix, el miliciano nacional fue tanto una figura de identificación para la ciudadanía como una de controversia política. Basándose en debates parlamentarios, panfletos, artículos de periódico y material de diversos archivos, este artículo detalla el debate sobre la figura del miliciano durante la primera mitad del siglo xix en España. La primera parte se centra en las primeras fases constitucionales (1812-1814 y 1820-1823) y muestra cómo la Milicia Nacional, inicialmente pensada como un actor abstracto de un sistema de contrapesos políticos, acabó cobrando vida propia gracias a las iniciativas ciudadanas. El miliciano se convirtió en un ideal ciudadano del liberalismo radical. La segunda parte, ubicada en los comienzos del reinado de Isabel II (1833-1844), subraya cómo los políticos denominados progresistas tiñeron de emociones y radicalidad las imágenes asociadas a los milicianos para conquistar una posición dominante en los conflictos políticos de la época. No obstante, esa radicalización escapó a su control. Esta deriva demuestra, por un lado, que los discursos de la alta política y sus apropiaciones populares se reforzaban mutuamente y deja ver, por otro lado, cómo la imaginería ciudadana justificaba un expansivo abanico de actuaciones.
Forjadas por los adversarios. Movilización católica en la era del liberalismo (1812-1874)
Authors: Palacios Cerezales Diego
Published: November 2021

A partir de la conceptualización del movimiento social como una forma de hacer política asociada a la institucionalización del sistema representativo, este artículo traza la contribución del activismo católico a la inserción de las recogidas de firmas en la cultura política española del siglo XIX. El artículo estudia sucesivas campañas peticionarias, desde la de 1812 a favor de la Inquisición hasta la que se opuso a la libertad de cultos en 1869. Mediante el análisis cruzado de discusiones y noticias en prensa, panfletos y correspondencia, así como de los originales de las listas de firmantes manuscritas conservadas en distintos archivos, se trata de reinsertar la movilización católica en la historia de la política popular. A pesar de su idea de que las campañas de movilización respondían a una comprensión de los derechos políticos ajena al catolicismo, los católicos fueron pioneros en su uso y lograron movilizaciones sin parangón. Además, en el seno de este movimiento las mujeres tomaron la iniciativa y la palabra en unas proporciones también inusitadas en otros ámbitos. La conclusión es que tanto por en sus aspectos formales como en sus dimensiones participativas, las campañas católicas ocuparon un lugar central en la historia de los movimientos sociales españoles del siglo XIX. Además, su estudio invita a revisitar las interpretaciones de la vida política española del siglo XIX que insisten en que su rasgo fundamental sería la desmovilización.
De patrona de la Monarquía a patrona de la nación. La Inmaculada Concepción entre Portugal y España (1800-1854)
Authors: Martínez Vilches David
Published: November 2021

Este artículo analiza la transición de devoción dinástica a devoción nacional de la Inmaculada Concepción en España y Portugal durante la primera mitad del siglo xix. Esta reformulación simbólica constituyó una vía de politización y nacionalización a través de la religión en ambos países ibéricos. El estudio de los discursos religiosos nos lleva a considerar que, a pesar de las contradicciones entre liberales y católicos, ni unos ni otros renunciaron a la centralidad del componente religioso heredado a la hora de construir la nación tras la caída del Antiguo Régimen.

Authors: Kharkar Vidya , Singh Surender , Kabbannavar Yallappa Ramachandrappa
Published: November 2021

Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory, immune mediated dermatosis in children and adults. About one third of cases affected with psoriasis have their onset in first and second decade of life. Of paediatric population, about 0.5-2% is affected, infants are rarely affected. Overall plaque psoriasis is most common type followed by guttate and pustular psoriasis. Treating severe forms of psoriasis such as pustular psoriasis and erythrodermic psoriasis can pose difficulties, especially in paediatric population. Hence paediatric psoriasis needs to be managed effectively, however effective therapy also poses the risk of producing adverse effects, more so in paediatric age group. We report a case of localized pustular psoriasis, with an antineutrophil agent which is much safer and may target directly the pathophysiology of pustular psoriasis.
Russian Militaries at the Commencement of the Caucasus Studies: from the Region Pacifying to Its Survey (19th — Early 20th Centuries)
Authors: Tkachenko Dmitry
Published: November 2021

The paper focuses on the issues of the militaries' impact on the foundation of the Russian Empire Caucasus studies in 19th — early 20th centuries. Based on the vide mass of primary sources from archive vaults and published papers of the military investigators the authors conclude that the officers of the Caucasus Corpus (later Caucasus Army and Caucasus Military District) were at the base of the regional scientific researches in Statistics, Geography, Cartography, ordinary law, Ethnography, Archeology together with the indigenous tongues studying. They had either offered key ideas of the Imperial concept of the “Caucasus Conquest” — steadily extension of Russian rule on the ethnic territories. The paper concerns the idea of an important practical role for the Militaries survey. Its plot was contested with the solvation of some practical necessities in running the actual military or administrative tasks. But for a lot of investigators regional studies meant more than just dealing with an official assignment. Due to their personal traits and strong convincement in the utter necessity of Russian cultural activity in the regional ethnic environment, their scout survey grew into the part of the Caucasus Studies that was coming into life then.

Authors: Begeulov Rustam
Published: November 2021

The article discusses issues related to the problem of the occurrence of the peoples of the Northwest Caucasus in the Russian state in the 19th century. In the centre of this study — the Karachay Principality and its military-political cooperation with Russia, the theocratic state formations of the Caucasus Islamists and the Ottoman Empire primarily in the 1850s. The focus of this article is paid to the causes and consequences of anti-Russian uprisings in Karachay in August 1855. Examines religious (thestrengthening of Islam in the Karachay society and its potential for integration in relations between highlanders) and ethnic (attempts at building different ethnic groups of the joint political and military strategy) aspects of the incident; analyzes the destabilizing role of foreign factors in the events. The paper examines the policy of Shamil's Naib to the Kuban Muhammad-Amin against the Karachay, highlights the reasons for his persistent attempts to involve people in Karachay on its side and include it in the composition of its public education. The authors dwell in detail on the description of attempts of military-political rapprochement Muhammad-Amin with the Karachai people, their political, economic, ideological contacts in the period preceding military conflicts, anti-Russian rhetoric in 1855. The article notes that the revolt in Karachay in 1855 were not of a local character, and was closely connected with religious-political movements in North Caucasus in the period under review and attempt the practice established in the end of eighteenth century ideas on the creation of a single theocratic state in the region.
Regional Authorities and Local Self-Government Bodies of the Terek Region in the Fight against Infectious Diseases and Epidemics in the Late 19th — Early 20th Century
Authors: Khubulova Svetlana
Published: November 2021

The article attempts to study the causes of the spread of infectious diseases in the Terek region at the turn of the 19th — 20th centuries, as well as the activities of local authorities aimed at the localization of epidemics. The causes, nature and dynamics of these processes in different years are studied. It is revealed that the causes of epidemics of typhus, cholera, plague and other dangerous diseases for humans include both the natural and climatic conditions of the population, and the “seasonal” nature associated with active migration from the East, Central Asia and the inner regions of Russia through the territory of the Terek region. Thanks to the newly introduced archival documents, it was possible to reconstruct the mechanism of interaction between state bodies and public initiatives to improve the sanitary and epidemic situation in the region.
Centenary of the Patriotic War of 1812 in the North Caucasus: Memory and Politics
Authors: Dmitrieva Natalia
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the problems of commemorating the events of the Patriotic War of 1812 in the Northern Caucasus in the year of the centenary. A wide range of archival and published sources is used to analyse the ways in which the image of victory in the war with Napoleon is formed in the region, and to trace the specifics of the imperial authorities' construction of the memory of the war and the involvement of all the peoples of the Russian Empire in this event. The specific nature of regional commemorative practices is revealed through a comparative analysis of the various political orientations of the central and regional press. Periodicals were the most responsive and reflected on their pages all actions of the authorities to implement the jubilee celebrations, the key objective of which was seen as the unification of the country's multi-ethnic and multi-confessional population. In the conditions of increasing social and inter-ethnic contradictions in the North Caucasus, as well as the significant militarisation of Russian celebrations in the early 20th century, the memory of the victory in the Patriotic War of 1812 was to become a certain assemblage point for the imperial state under the conditions of instability. An analysis of the reporting documents on the celebrations in the North Caucasus in comparison with the materials of the periodical press made it possible to identify the possibilities and limits of the use of the jubilee date in this process.

Authors: Puchenkov Aleksandr
Published: November 2021

The article is devoted to the actions of the Volunteer Army in the Don and the Caucasus in the first period of its existence. The combat path of the army was reconstructed and the political component of the anti-Bolshevik forces was presented. Much attention is paid to the historiography of the problem. The personal contribution of the leaders of the White movement to the successes and failures at the early stage of the struggle against the Bolsheviks is underlined. The author comes to the conclusion that during the entire first year of its existence - from the birth of the “Alekseev organization” in November 1917 and until Denikin and Krasnov reached an agreement on the creation of the Armed Forces in the South of Russia under the united high command of A. I. Denikin in December 1918 the leaders of the army made no major mistakes either in the military or in the political field; on the contrary, their firm and consistent position, supported by the army masses, made it possible by the end of 1918 to achieve obvious successes in the field of both military and state building and turn into the main anti-Soviet force in the South.

But despite these difficulties, some successes of the Tashkent city self-government in the socio-economic development of the city are noted.
Acoustic Analysis of Voice Signal of Patients with Unilateral Laryngeal Paralysis a View to Objective Evaluation after Rehabilitation
Authors: Kabache Mahraz , Guerti Mhania
Published: November 2021

We propose in this study an acoustic analysis called objective, based on physical measurements, to extract the acoustic characteristics of the voice of patients with Unilateral Laryngeal Paralysis. Our experiments were made at the Otorhinolaryngology service of the hospital of Bab El Oued. Algiers. (Algeria). In this work, an acoustic analysis of the vocal signal is based on measurements of the instability of the amplitude and frequency of the vibrations of the vocal cords. The results obtained are compared with those of a group of reference of subjects who normally speak. The study of the results obtained by the acoustic analysis of the pathological voice during the rehabilitation phase shows a strong correlation of the acoustic parameters between the pathological voice and the reference one. The exclusive use of hearing to evaluate the effect of voice rehabilitation in the Algerian hospital environment remains insufficient. It is important to correlate the perceptual information with the interpreted acoustic measurements, in a manner to be able to develop a therapeutic project appropriate to the patient’s expectations and difficulties.
Contrast Enhancement of Images Using Meta-Heuristic Algorithm
Authors: Prakash Sunkavalli Jaya , Chetty Manna Sheela Rani , A Jayalakshmi
Published: November 2021

One of the most important processes in image processing is image enhancement, which aims to enhance image contrast and quality of information. Due to the lack of adequate conventional image enhancement and the challenge of mean shift, intelligence-based image enhancement systems are becoming an essential requirement in image processing. This paper proposes a new approach for enhancing low contrast images utilizing a modified measure and integrating a new Chaotic Crow Search (CCS) and Krill Herd (KH) Optimization-based metaheuristic algorithm. Crow Search Algorithm is a cutting-edge meta-heuristic optimization technique. Chaotic maps are incorporated into the Crow Search Method in this work to improve its global optimization. The new Chaotic Crow Search Algorithm depends on chaotic sequences to replace a random location in the search space and the crow's recognition factor. Based on a new fitness function, Krill Herd optimization is utilized to optimize the tunable parameter. The fitness function requires different primary objective functions that use the image's edge, entropy, grey level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) contrast, and GLCM energy for increased visual, contrast, and other descriptive information. The results proved that the suggested approach outperforms all-new methods in terms of contrast, edge details, and structural similarity, both subjectively and statistically.
Depth Estimation of Single Defocused Images Based on Multi-Feature Fusion
Authors: Cao Fengyun
Published: November 2021

Based on multi-feature fusion, this paper introduces a novel depth estimation method to suppress defocus and motion blurs, as well as focal plane ambiguity. Firstly, the node features formed by occlusion were fused to optimize image segmentation, and obtain the position relations between image objects. Next, the Gaussian gradient ratio between the defocused input image and the quadratic Gaussian blur was calculated to derive the edge sparse blur. After that, the fast guided filter was adopted to diffuse the sparse blur globally, and estimate the relative depth of the scene. Experimental results demonstrate that our method excellently resolves the ambiguity of depth estimation, and accurately overcomes the noise problem in real-time.
Deep Learning Based Super Resolution and Classification Applications for Neonatal Thermal Images
Authors: Senalp Fatih M. , Ceylan Murat
Published: November 2021

The thermal camera systems can be used in all kinds of applications that require the detection of heat change, but thermal imaging systems are highly costly systems. In recent years, developments in the field of deep learning have increased the success by obtaining quality results compared to traditional methods. In this paper, thermal images of neonates (healthy - unhealthy) obtained from a high-resolution thermal camera were used and these images were evaluated as high resolution (ground truth) images. Later, these thermal images were downscaled at 1/2, 1/4, 1/8 ratios, and three different datasets consisting of low-resolution images in different sizes were obtained. In this way, super-resolution applications have been carried out on the deep network model developed based on generative adversarial networks (GAN) by using three different datasets. The successful performance of the results was evaluated with PSNR (peak signal to noise ratio) and SSIM (structural similarity index measure). In addition, healthy - unhealthy classification application was carried out by means of a classifier network developed based on convolutional neural networks (CNN) to evaluate the super-resolution images obtained using different datasets. The obtained results show the importance of combining medical thermal imaging with super-resolution methods.

Published: November 2021

In recent years, scholars have found content-based image recovery to be a particularly interesting and exciting field. This field develops quick image recovery algorithms that are very similar to pictures from various data sources. There is currently a lot of space and sources for data storage. Finally, once data sources are obtained, there is just competition for the exact and best result. The result is filtered using the heuristic correlation based on the above features of the photographs. The overall matching scores are calculated by adding all these individual feature ratings. The recommended method will be used to retrieve all images containing the content of the query image. The scores will be used to rate the match. The results of the combined method simulation demonstrate that the strategy is successful. This proposed model will improve the accuracy of search results. This research model, like the other metadata models on the web, is interactive and familiar for searching pictures from huge databases and data sources. This model also has a number of handy features built in to improve precision and efficiency. Although there are a few little mysteries in this model, they must be answered subsequently.
Marine Distributed Radar Signal Identification and Classification Based on Deep Learning
Authors: Liu Chang , Antypenko Ruslan , Sushko Iryna , Zakharchenko Oksana , Wang Ji
Published: November 2021

Distributed radar is applied extensively in marine environment monitoring. In the early days, the radar signals are identified inefficiently by operators. It is promising to replace manual radar signal identification with machine learning technique. However, the existing deep learning neural networks for radar signal identification consume a long time, owing to autonomous learning. Besides, the training of such networks requires lots of reliable time-frequency features of radar signals. This paper mainly analyzes the identification and classification of marine distributed radar signals with an improved deep neural network. Firstly, the time frequency features were extracted from signals based on short-time Fourier transform (STFT) theory. Then, a target detection algorithm was proposed, which weighs and fuses the heterogenous marine distributed radar signals, and four methods were provided for weight calculation. After that, the frequency-domain priori model feature assistive training was introduced to train the traditional deep convolutional neural network (DCNN), producing a CNN with feature splicing operation. The features of time- and frequency-domain signals were combined, laying the basis for radar signal classification. Our model was proved effective through experiments.

Mathematics Instruction to Promote Mathematics Higher-Order Thinking Skills of Students in Indonesia: Moving Forward
Authors: Tanujaya Benidiktus , Indra Prahmana Rully Charitas , Mumu Jeinne
Published: November 2021

HOTS instruction in mathematics is rarely explicitly programmed by the schoolteacher. As a result, students' HOTS is at the lowest level, especially in national or international assessments. The purpose of this research is to determine why mathematics education in Indonesia does not have a significant effect on student HOTS by conducting a review of several Indonesian publications on the subject. This research is a qualitative method of literature review related to the HOTS of Indonesian mathematics students, and an organized interview triangulated to support the data and information from the literature review. The interview consisted of two critical questions administered using Google Form: implementing active learning and mathematics textbooks on mathematics classroom activities. The results concluded that there were two primary sources of error in mathematics learning to increase HOTS in Indonesia: active learning and current mathematics textbooks. Besides, in teaching and learning practices, the active learning model is rarely used when using official texts that do not promote HOTS for mathematics students in Indonesia.
Predictive Error Compensating Wavelet Neural Network Model for Multivariable Time Series Prediction
Authors: Kulaglic Ajla , Ustundag B. Berk
Published: November 2021

Multivariable machine learning (ML) models are increasingly used for time series predictions. However, avoiding the overfitting and underfitting in ML-based time series prediction requires special consideration depending on the size and characteristics of the available training dataset. Predictive error compensating wavelet neural network (PEC-WNN) improves the time series prediction accuracy by enhancing the orthogonal features within a data fusion scheme. In this study, time series prediction performance of the PEC-WNNs have been evaluated on two different problems in comparison to conventional machine learning methods including the long short-term memory (LSTM) network. The results have shown that PECNET provides significantly more accurate predictions. RMSPE error is reduced by more than 60% with respect to other compared ML methods for Lorenz Attractor and wind speed prediction problems.

Reading comprehension is a complex mental performance of an individual, which is strongly influenced by the modern phenomenon of the use of the Internet. The main goal of the study is to examine the relationship between foreign language reading comprehension (in English and German) and the Internet use (time spent on the Internet, the Internet addiction). The results of the research confirmed negative relationship between the time spent online and reading comprehension in German. Internet addiction is positively correlated with reading comprehension in English, this relationship is influenced by demographic variables of students’ gender and the type of school attended.
Topological conjugacy of 𝑛-multiple Cartesian products of circle rough transformations
Authors:   National Research University ", Golikova Iuliana ,   Higher School of Economics", Zinina Svetlana ,   Mordovia State University
Published: November 2021

It is known from the 1939 work of A. G. Mayer that rough transformations of the circle are limited to the diffeomorphisms of Morse – Smale. A topological conjugacy class of orientation-preserving diffeomorphism is entirely determined by its rotation number and the number of its periodic orbits, while for orientation-changing diffeomorphism the topological invariant will be only the number of periodic orbits. Thus, the purpose of this study is to find topological invariants of n-fold Cartesian products of diffeomorphisms of a circle. Methods. This paper explores the rough Morse – Smale diffeomorphisms on the n-torus surface. To prove the main result, additional constructions and formation of subsets of considered sets were used. Results. In this paper, a numerical topological invariant is introduced for n-fold Cartesian products of rough circle transformations. Conclusion.The criterion of topological conjugacy of n-fold Cartesian products of rough transformations of a circle is formulated.

This work aims to show that long transient processes in mesascale models of thalamocortical brain network can appear in very general case, in particular for different number of elements in the ensemble (different level of detalization) and different initial phase of external driving, with these regimes surviving at small variations of number and structure of couplings. Methods. Thalamocortical brain networks are modelled using electronic circuit realized using computer SPICE eluating software. FitzHugh – Nagumo analog generator is used as a single circuit element. Results. Long quasiregular and nonregular oscillation processes with stationary amplitude were shown to occur in ensembles of 14, 28 and 56 model FitzHug – Nagumo generators. The dependency of transient process length on the external driving initial phase and particular coupling matrix structure was studied. Conclusion. The proposed electronic models of thalamocortical system were proved to reproduce the pathological regimes of brain activity in similar way despite the number of elements in the circuit, connectivity matrix and initial driving phase.

Veredas Dialógicas da Mediação: decolonialidade em Ciência da Informação
Authors: Silva Rubens Alves , Flecha Luis Carlos
Published: November 2021

O artigo propõe uma reflexão sobre a possibilidade da mediação da informação na CI a partir da proposta do projeto de decolonialidade, ou giro-descolonial. Para tanto apresenta a breve histórico da construção deste projeto e seu contraponto ao projeto colonial fundador da estrutura social nas Américas. A reflexão parte de exemplos como a capoeira angola, luta corporal de ideologia política criada por sujeitos africanos em diáspora nas terras brasileiras, nos processos de luta pela manutenção da vida e contra violência da colonização. Associa a proposta decolonial a mediação da informação na ação prática dos cientistas da informação junto a usuários da informação como possibilidade de reconhecimento da alteridade e ontologia dos povos afro-indígenas, centrando na performance corporal, como na capoeira, o lugar da resistência e re existência destes. O artigo encerra sua proposta deixando em aberto reflexões para a ação mediadora da informação, no fazer prático junto aos usuários da informação, indagando a base epistemológica da ação.

Published: November 2021

A survey was conducted in August and September 2008 in Yaoundé, Cameroon to assess vegetable consumption attitudes, constraints and factors that stimulate households’ consumption. Stratified sample based on district size, socioeconomic status and ethnics groups were used. Three hundred households were interviewed using a questionnaire and t here were four times as many women as men in the sample. Data were analyzed using SNAP. More than 80% of the respondents were educated at the secondary (54%) and tertiary (30%) levels. The respondents were generally the wife (35%) or children (30%), and sometimes the husband (20%). More than 50% of the respondents were landlords living in their own homes and the rest were tenant s. On average, the population of Yaoundé consumed vegetables frequently ( 2 to 4 times per week ). Tomato, onion, carrot, and chili pepper were the most preferred exotic vegetables while bitter leaf (>80%) and okra (>70%), were the most preferred traditional vegetables. Attitudes towards vegetables varied according to socio economic and ethnic group. Main constraints to vegetable consumption were preparation time for respondents in the upper class (30%) and social taboos (amaranth is an ominous crop and can cause impotency in men; okra can inhibit the traditional treatment of some diseases) for the middle and lower classes. Freshness, wholesomeness, and color of the fruit or leaves determined the decision to purchase vegetables. Diversification of diet which is good for health , the preference of family members, and taste were the main reasons for consuming vegetables. Taste, degree of sliminess (okra), and smell after cooking were f actors that increased satisfaction during consumption. Two- thirds of the respondents knew the benefits of vegetable consumption but their knowledge was not specific and is influenced by social taboos. Willingness to pay for processed traditional vegetables was higher among respondents in the upper income class (56.9%) than the lower (45.8%) and middle (37.1%) classes. The study revealed a need to further promote the consumption vegetables and inform consumers of their nutritional benefits.
Przesłanki dopuszczalności ingerencji MDR w tajemnicę doradcy podatkowego w kontekście orzecznictwa Trybunału Sprawiedliwości Unii Europejskiej i Europejskiego Trybunału Praw Człowieka
Authors: Szymacha Adam
Published: November 2021

Artykuł koncentruje się na problemie zagrożeń dla tajemnicy zawodów prawniczych wynikających z MDR. Niemniej konflikt ten został już przynajmniej częściowo rozwiązany w przypadku regulacji dotyczących przeciwdziałania praniu pieniędzy i finansowaniu terroryzmu (AML). W tekście omówiono, w jaki sposób reguła AML może być stosowana jako minimalny standard proporcjonalności w przypadkach MDR. Zakładając, że motywy regulacji AML są ważniejsze społecznie niż regulacji MDR, należy rozważyć, czy regulacje MDR nie powinny być poddane silniejszym filtrom. Korzystając z praktyki orzeczniczej wypracowanej przez ETPC i TSUE, dokonano próby ustalenia prawdopodobnego standardu ochrony tajemnicy zawodowej.

Granice cywilizacyjne jako czynnik determinujący rozpad SFRJ
Authors: Styrczula Mateusz
Published: November 2021

Autor w swojej pracy próbuje spojrzeć na przyczyny rozpadu Socjalistycznej Federacji Republiki Jugosławii z innej strony, niż to czyniono wcześniej. Podkreśla, że rozpad SFRJ uwarunkowany był m.in. niezakończonymi porachunkami z lat wojen światowych, ekonomicznym rozkładem socjalistycznej Jugosławii, rozbudzeniem i następnie emanacją nacjonalistycznych dążeń w wielu ich postaciach i formach z lat 90., czy wydarzeniami związanymi z końcem dwubiegunowego podziału świata. Badacz jednocześnie zastanawia się, co doprowadziło na tym terytorium do tych wydarzeń. Według niego te zdarzenia były wynikiem tego, iż ziemie te znajdują się na terytoriach cywilizacji (łacińskiej, bizantyjskiej, muzułmańskiej) oraz dawno nie istniejących mocarstw. Odmienne doświadczenia historyczne, społeczne i kulturowe mieszające się przez całe wieki, doprowadziły do wydarzeń z początku lat 90. XX wieku.

Wieloetniczność Sarajewa – rys historyczny
Authors: Gucka Agnieszka
Published: November 2021

Autorka w swojej pracy porusza problem wieloetniczności Sarajewa, miasta nazywanego europejskim Jeruzalem. Określenie to pochodzi stąd, iż region ten przez stulecia stanowił centrum, w którym ścierały się ze sobą i wzajemnie przenikały cztery wielkie religie monoteistyczne: judaizm, katolicyzm, prawosławie i islam. Każdy zaś „Sarajlija”, jak po bośniacku określa się mieszkańca Sarajewa, jest żywym dowodem skomplikowanej historii tego regionu.
Czarnogórców droga do wolności
Authors: Walkiewicz Wiesław
Published: November 2021

Autor publikacji pisze o drodze Czarnogóry do niepodległości, której wg niego, nigdy całkowicie nie straciła. Przypomina, że jest to jedyne państwo, które nie skorzystała z w 1991 r. z opcji sukcesji na gruzach rozpadającej się Jugosławii. Badacz zastanawia się także czy uwikłana we wspólne z prawosławnymi sąsiadami doświadczenia, Czarnogóra nie kierowała się ku więzom z liczebniejszymi i silniejszymi partnerami, i czy zbyt długo nie rozpamiętywała tego, co minęło?
Obraz relacji serbsko-boszniackich na przykładzie Sandżaku w pierwszej dekadzie XXI w.
Authors: Korzeniewska-Wiszniewska Mirella
Published: November 2021

Autorka w swojej pracy omawia trudną relację serbsko-boszniacką na przykładzie Sandżaku, obszaru położonego na terytorium Serbii oraz Czarnogóry. Wyjaśnia również skomplikowane znaczenie terminu „Boszniak” oraz jakie konsekwencje miało wprowadzenie tej nazwy do życia publicznego, języka służbowego i dokumentów. Badaczka podkreśla w swojej pracy również fakt, że Boszniacy stanowią najliczniejszą po Serbach i Węgrach grupę narodową w Republice Serbii, co daje im prawo do korzystania z przysługujących im praw mniejszościowych, łącznie z dążeniem do uzyskania autonomii terytorialnej.
Aspiracje Bośni i Hercegowiny do członkostwa w NATO. Reforma sektora obronności
Authors: Sochacki Szymon
Published: November 2021

Podział Bośni i Hercegowiny (BiH) na dwa podmioty, usankcjonowany przez układ pokojowy z Dayton, dotyczył również sił zbrojnych. Republika Serbska (RS) oraz Federacja Bośni i Hercegowiny (FBiH) dysponowały własnymi armiami, przy czym Wojsko Federacji (Vojska Federacije Bosne i Hercegovine, VFBiH) składało się z dwóch komponentów — bośniackiego i chorwackiego. Bośnia i Hercegowina aspirowała do członkostwa w NATO. Dlatego też w czerwcu 2001 r. sekretarz generalny NATO określił kryteria przyjęcia Bośni do programu Partnerstwo dla Pokoju. Wśród nich znalazł się wymóg ustanowienia efektywnego cywilnego dowodzenia oraz kontroli nad siłami zbrojnymi. Kompetencjami w łańcuchu dowodzenia miały dysponować tylko instytucje BiH. Pakt wymagał także transparentności planów obronnych i budżetu, ustanowienia parlamentarnej kontroli nad siłami zbrojnymi, rozwoju wspólnej doktryny obronnej, wspólnych standardów szkolenia i wyposażenia sił zbrojnych oraz pełnej współpracy z Międzynarodowym Trybunałem Karnym dla byłej Jugosławii (ICTY) .
Republika Chorwacji – 28. państwo członkowskie Unii Europejskiej
Authors: Łakota-Micker Małgorzata
Published: November 2021

Autorka w twoim artykule omawia kolejno działania Republiki Chorwacji, które doprowadziły to państwo do dołączenia do Unii Europejskiej 1 lipca 2013 r. Pomyślnie zakończone negocjacje akcesyjne i pozytywny wynik uzyskany w trakcie referendum są potwierdzeniem, że na akcesji zależy zarówno władzom państwa, jak i jego obywatelom. Członkostwo w Unii Europejskiej to dla Zagrzebia kolejny, po uregulowaniu stosunków w regionie i przystąpieniu do NATO, znaczący sukces. To wypełnienie trzeciego z priorytetowych założeń, przyjętych w polityce zagranicznej państwa, określonych w chwili proklamacji przez nie niepodległości, tj. 25 czerwca 1991 r. (pełna niepodległość ogłoszona została 8 października, gdy parlament zerwał wszelkie konstytucyjne powiązania z federacją jugosłowiańską).
