Authors: Леонидович Белоусов Александр
Published: December 2024

В статье проведен анализ конституций стран, относящихся к романо-германской правовой семье с целью ответа на следующие вопросы: широко ли распространена практика закрепления в их нормах столицы государства, является ли это доминирующей моделью, возможны ли альтернативные решения рассматриваемой проблемы. В качестве объекта исследования выступили нормы конституций более чем сорока стран, входящих в романо-германскую правовую семью, расположенных на территории континентальной Европы и бывшего СССР. В части регулирования ими общественных отношений, связанных с закреплением функции столицы государства. Для достижения достоверности результатов исследования анализу подверглись конституции государств, имеющих разные формы правления и территориального устройства. Цель работы – исследовать особенности закрепления статуса столицы в конституциях государств романо-германской правовой семьи. Во введении акцентируется внимание
на опыте закрепления столицы государства в Конституции Республики Беларусь, формулируется гипотеза относительно необходимости наличия в конституциях норм, регулирующих функцию столицы государства. В основной части определены три модели конституционного решения проблемы закрепления столицы государства, а именно: прямое закрепление столицы государства; отсутствие норм, закрепляющих столицу государства, но позволяющих ее идентифицировать; полное отсутствие норм, регулирующих
функцию столицы. В заключении сформулированы выводы относительно значения конституционного закрепления столицы для стабильности функционирования государства, причин наличия разнообразных подходов к регулированию общественных отношений, связанных с определением статуса столицы, а также возможного совершенствования правовой системы Республики Беларусь в сфере закрепления статуса столицы с учетом практики государств, входящих в романо-германскую правовую семью.

Besikuriančiam verslui gyvybiškai svarbu užtikrinti tinkamą finansavimą, kad būtų užtikrinta ne tik verslo pradžiai, bet ir jo tęstinumas bei plėtra. Startuolių kūrimas ypač reikalauja didelių investicijų, nes produkto kūrimas dažniausiai yra tiesiogiai susijęs su inovacine veikla ir aukštų technologijų kūrimu bei jų naudojimu versle. Rinka šiandien siūlo daug įvairių tradicinių ir alternatyvių finansavimo šaltinių, tačiau startuoliams, siekiantiems pateikti rinkai išskirtinius produktus ir pasižymintiems tiek dideliu augimo potencialu, tiek ir didele verslo rizika, ne visi finansavimo šaltiniai yra prieinami ir efektyvūs. Apibrėžus startuolio sampratą ir identifikavus veiksnius, padedančius atkreipti investuotojų dėmesį, kad būtų užtikrintas pakankamas finansavimas inovatyvioms, aukštą augimo potencialą turinčioms įmonėms, straipsnyje detaliai analizuojami galimi alternatyvūs startuolių finansavimo šaltiniai. Kadangi startuolių veikla pasižymi ne tik dideliu augimo potencialu, bet ir aukšta verslo rizika, patraukliausi ir geriausiai prieinami yra ne tradiciniai finansavimo šaltiniai, tačiau tokie alternatyvūs finansavimo šaltiniai, kaip verslo angelai, sutelktinis finansavimas, rizikos kapitalo fondai bei įvairios verslo akceleravimo programos.

Published: December 2024

Neste traballo, emprendemos a tarefa de ofrecer un panorama da evolución e dos alcances máis importantes da fraseoloxía serbia. Presentamos a orixe e consolidación da disciplina en circunstancias temporais e espaciais dadas, e organizámolas en dúas direccións. Na primeira, facemos un percorrido polo labor fraseográfico e paremiográfico, pasando polas primeiras coleccións de refráns, os primeiros dicionarios fraseolóxicos bilingües, o dicionario fraseolóxico monolingüe serbo-croata e, finalmente, o dicionario fraseolóxico serbio. A segunda dirección que adoptamos representa as investigacións relevantes sobre a teoría da fraseoloxía serbia, encabezadas pola obra de Dragana Mršević-Radović e outros autores eminentes que tratan temas como a determinación da disciplina, do seu obxecto de estudo e da descrición e clasificación das súas unidades. No tratamento das cuestións fraseolóxicas teóricas, representamos os principios adoptados por lingüistas serbias/ serbios (e exiugoslavos/exioguslavas) na delimitación da fraseoloxía, do seu obxecto de estudo e da nomenclatura e clasificación das súas unidades. Extraemos paralelismos coa escola fraseolóxica española e con outras escolas europeas, indicando sempre as peculiaridades da serbia, especialmente no que respecta ao ámbito de estudo e á tipoloxía das unidades fraseolóxicas.

Argument’s Autonomy Problem
Authors: Casey John
Published: December 2024

Autonomy is foundational to ethics, political philosophy, philosophy of mind, and it has been closely associated with argumentation. What is curious about autonomy is that it has traditionally been explained in terms of reasoning and argument: autonomy involves reasoning because, standardly, someone who’s autonomous is one who thinks things through, who has reasons for their actions. Autonomy regards argument because to respect the autonomy of someone who thinks things through, one must offer them reasons, that is, argue with them. One common thought is that provided one’s arguments meet certain criteria (e.g., they’re not sophistries or clever manipulations), then argument respects autonomy. But is this really so? No. Properly understood, argument is a kind of paternalism, for to argue with someone means to enter into and manage their stream of reasons, the very things that account for their autonomy.
Conversational Integrity: Argument, Commitment, and Compromise
Authors: van Laar Jan Albert
Published: December 2024

What does it mean to have and maintain a position of integrity when reasoning and arguing in a series of different kinds of dialogues? When participants in a critical discussion fail to reach an agreement on the rational merits of their response to a practical problem, they may remain hopeful of reaching a compromise solution in a negotiation dialogue that they perceive as the most rational one that is socially feasible. This article considers whether one’s commitments can be managed in such a way as to preserve the integrity of one’s position across these dialogues. After all, in compromise formation practical concerns may interfere with epistemic ambitions, and one may have to trade away what was deemed essential to one’s position in critical discussion. Conversational integrity is maintained when one’s position is sufficiently transparent, stable, inclusive, and authentic. These characteristics may provide guidance for those involved in political dealmaking.
A Mini-Review On The Microplastic-Heavy Metal Interactions And The Factors Affecting Their Fate In Aquatic Habitats
Authors: Coşkun Nuriye Sena , Keskin Şevval , Nassouhı Danial , Ergönül Mehmet Borga
Published: December 2024

Microplastic particles found in water bodies are recognized a serious environmental concern due to their effects on aquatic biota. Microplastics, with their large surface area, are considered as vectors since they provide suitable surfaces for the adherence of several toxic pollutants, including heavy metals, pesticides, and nanoparticles. Several physico-chemical properties of plastic particles including chemical structure, polymer chain organization, specific surface area, and particle dimensions, and environmental parameters (ambient temperature, pH and salinity of the media and the dissolved organic matter concentration) may reshape the dynamic interactions between heavy metal ions and microplastic surfaces. Microplastic-heavy metal interaction poses a global health threat to aquatic biota and eventually human beings through the food chain since attached metal ions may be transported to aquatic organisms. Therefore, it is critical to clarify the mechanisms responsible for the adherence of metal ions to plastic surfaces. Such an approach will help government departments to promote management strategies and design of treatment practices. In this study, recent reports on the adherence of heavy metal ions to microplastic particles in aquatic habitats, along with the factors that might change the adsorption capacity of microplastics, are reviewed and discussed in detail.

Authors: Uzenbekov Sh.B. , Shapalov Sh.K. , Abdeshev K.B.
Published: December 2024

This article describes a method for extinguishing fires of oil and petroleum products in vertical steel tanks by feeding foam to form a low-layer film directly into the fuel layer at the bottom of the tank. The problems of extinguishing fires in tanks with a floating roof or on a pontoon when extinguishing fires in a storey way are
briefly described. The main problems: contamination of the foam with oil and petroleum products, the time of lifting the foam to the surface of the tank, the appearance of “pockets” inaccessible for extinguishing, etc. The results of studies of the main modern systems for ensuring fire safety of oil and gas industry facilities, such as: transportation, processing and storage, are shown. The results of the study of the fire extinguishing process with film-forming foam in tanks, as well as the study of the properties of fluorosynthetic foams, are described. Examples of combined fire safety systems on pontoon tanks are also given.

Published: December 2024

The article explores the potential of PDFGear Copilot, a chatbot-based PDF editing tool, in assisting with the analysis of historical documents. We evaluated the chatbot's performance on a document relating to the Slovenian War of Independence. We included 25 factual and 5 interpretative questions to address its formal characteristics and content details, assess its capacity for in-depth interpretation and contextualized critical analysis, and evaluate the chatbot’s language use and robustness. The chatbot exhibited some ability to answer factual questions, even though its performance varied. It demonstrated proficiency in navigating document structure, named entity recognition, and extracting basic document information. However, performance declined significantly in tasks such as document type identification, content details, and tasks requiring deeper text analysis. For interpretative questions, the chatbot's performance was notably inadequate, failing to link cause-and-effect relationships and provide the depth and nuance required for historical inquiries.

Authors: Bobrowski Adam , Wu William , Angeles Chelsea , Czajkowski Simon , Lee Jason Y.
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Robotic-assisted surgery (RAS) is a vital modality in the armamentarium of minimally invasive surgeons. The HugoTM RAS system (Medtronic®) is one of the newest platforms on the market and has little surgical outcomes data. We describe our early experience performing robotic-assisted partial nephrectomy (RAPNx) with the Hugo RAS platform.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective review of patients who underwent a RAPNx with the Hugo RAS platform between April and December 2023 at the University Health Network in Toronto, ON. One surgeon performed all procedures using a three-arm transperitoneal approach. Anesthetic, operative, and pathologic reports were assessed to collect pre-, intra- and postoperative variables.
Results: Eleven patients were included. The mean age was 51 years, 45.0% were female, and 63.6% had a right-sided mass. Mean tumor size was 2.9 cm. Mean warm ischemia time was 18.9 min (standard deviation [SD] 7.12) and mean estimated blood loss was 179 mL (SD 63.6). Mean robot docking time was 232 seconds (SD 106.5), mean total console time was 93 minutes (SD 21.4), and mean total operative time was 165.6 minutes (SD 34.1). There were no intraoperative complications. On pathology review, most tumors were a clear cell variant (72.7%) and staged pT1a (81.8%). All margins were negative. One patient sustained a port site infection.
Conclusions: This is the first North American case series using the Hugo RAS platform for RAPNx. Our findings underscore that the platform is safe and effective for performing RAPNx with comparable outcomes to other robotic platforms.

Introduction: This systematic review and meta-analysis provides estimates of major complications and blood loss for open partial nephrectomy, conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, and robot-assisted partial nephrectomy. Additionally, it outlines the incidence of major complications associated with percutaneous thermal ablation in patients with small renal masses.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL from inception to the end of July 2023. We supplemented the electronic search with a hand search of references in the included studies and suggestions from two content experts. We used random effect meta-analysis to obtain pooled estimates of major complications and blood loss. We used the QUIPS tool for risk of bias assessment and applied a prognosis approach to rate the quality of evidence using the Grades of Recommendation, Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) framework.
Results: We included 65 eligible studies that provided pooled estimates of major complications after open partial nephrectomy of 5.4% (95% confidence interval [CI] 2.9–9.9); after conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy of 4.7% (95% CI 2.6–8.3); after robot-assisted partial nephrectomy of 2.9% (95% CI 2.2–3.7); and after thermal ablation of 2.9% (95% CI 2.3–3.8). Pooled estimates demonstrating mean estimated blood loss of 262 ml (95% CI 200–324) for open partial nephrectomy; 224 ml (95% CI 193–254) for conventional laparoscopic partial nephrectomy; and 163 ml (95% CI 136–190) for robot-assisted partial nephrectomy.
Conclusions: This review provides the best available estimates of major complications and mean blood loss after partial nephrectomy in patients with small renal masses.
RSSA Conference: Incidence and Risk Factors of Coronary Calcifications on Staging and Follow-Up CT Chest in Cancer Patients in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Jamjoom Lamia
Published: December 2024

Objectives: Cardiovascular diseases have collectively remained as the leading causes of mortality globally. This study aimed to determine the incidence and risk factors of coronary calcifications (CC) on staging and follow-up CT chest.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we collected 124 patients who have been diagnosed with previous malignancies in Saudi Arabia from October to June 2024.
Results: We had 75 (60.5%) females compared to 49 (39.5%) males, with an age range from 1 to 86 years, and a mean age of 56.71 years (SD = 15.9). Common cardiac risk factors in this study were hypertension (23.4%) and diabetes (21.8%). The most frequent treatment type used for these patients was chemotherapy (63.7%), followed by radiotherapy (18.5%). Out of the 124 patients, 30.6% exhibited coronary calcifications. Significant predictors of coronary calcifications include gender (p < 0.001), age (p < 0.001), hypertension (p = 0.019), diabetes (p = 0.002), and dyslipidemia (p = 0.016). Regression model showed that males (p = 0.006) and older age groups (p < 0.05) have significantly higher odds of having coronary calcifications. Diabetes, with close significance values (p = 0.064), could potentially be a significant risk factor in a larger population.
Conclusion: Reporting of coronary calcifications on staging and follow-up CT scans is a potential approach to identify patients at high risk of cardiovascular disease events who would benefit from preventive interventions.
Role of Human Capital in Economic Development in India
Authors:   Department of Economics Arts and Science College Patoda, Dist Beed, Kakade Dr. Shivaji
Published: December 2024

Human capital is a key driver of economic development, as it directly influences productivity, innovation, and
global competitiveness. In India, the importance of human capital is amplified by its demographic advantage, with
over half of its population under the age of 25, offering a vast labour force. However, the country faces significant
barriers to fully harnessing this potential, including low literacy rates, limited access to quality education, skill
mismatches, and health disparities. These challenges restrict the effective contribution of India’s workforce to the
economy.
This research paper delves into the various dimensions of human capital, focusing on education, health, and skill
development, which are essential for fostering a productive workforce. By utilizing secondary data and examining
both national and international case studies, the paper identifies critical gaps in India’s human capital
development. Additionally, it offers policy recommendations aimed at addressing these gaps, improving the quality
of education, expanding healthcare access, and aligning skill development with market needs. These interventions
are crucial to unlocking the full potential of India’s human capital, ensuring sustained and inclusive economic
growth.

Authors:   Volgograd State University, VLASYUK I.V. , KRAVTSOVA YU.E. ,   Volgograd State Agrarian University
Published: December 2024

The article is devoted to the analysis of methods of formation of professional competencies of civil servants. The purpose of the study is to assess the readiness of the teaching staff for the use of modern methods of training civil servants in the DPO system. The main method of achieving these goals is continuous training and professional development. The research results are formed in the form of the proposed tools for studying the competence of civil servants used in the implementation of professional development programs. The conditions for the development of the competence of civil servants in the system of professional development have been experimentally tested. The formation of professional competence of civil servants is an urgent problem facing many countries, including Russia. At present, the civil service is becoming increasingly complex and requires employees to have the professional knowledge, skills and competencies necessary for the successful performance of tasks and ensuring the effective functioning of government bodies. This is especially true for employees of the public authorities of the Donetsk, Luhansk People's Republics, Zaporizhia and Kherson regions and is necessary to accelerate the integration of new regions into the Russian public administration system. Regions need to build an effective system of public authorities in accordance with the current legislation. This will make it possible to quickly introduce mechanisms of social support for citizens, join programs to develop investment attractiveness, and implement national projects. In this connection, a natural task arises to assess the effectiveness of the work of government agencies and each employee individually, as well as methods and methods of forming the necessary competencies. Professional competence of civil servants is a set of knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to perform official duties and achieve the goals of public service. An effective solution to the problem is professional development, which allows civil servants to improve their professional skills and knowledge. We have studied the pedagogical foundations of the formation of professional competence of civil servants, based on the principles set out in this article.

Authors: Chapinal-Heras Diego
Published: December 2024

The aim of this study is to examine the expansion of the Argead kingdom of Macedon over the region of Pieria, and the role played by the sacred city of Dion in this process. Despite northern Pieria belonging to the core of the Macedonian realm, southern Pieria did not fall under Macedonian sway until the end of the Archaic Age. By using evidence from both literature and archaeology, this paper attempts to reconstruct the assimilation of southern Pieria into the Macedonian kingdom and the way that influenced the development of Dion.

Ian Worthington
Authors: Antela-Bernárdez Borja
Published: December 2024

Ian Worthington has been a brilliant voice concerning Ancient Greek History during the last decades. Within his academic production, very diverse in themes, topics and interests, different approaches stand out on Macedonia, Philip and Alexander, side by side with his interest also on the voice of Demosthenes (side by side in Worthington’s work with other orators) or the history of Athens. Born in 1958, this Englishman studied Classics in Hull and Durham. He received the highest title of Curators’s Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Missouri in 2013, among other prominent awards. He has also taught in many different institutions and countries, including University of New England (Australia) and University of Tasmania. Co-editor with Joseph Roisman of the seminal (and to some point, inaugural) Blackwell’s Companion to Ancient Macedonia, he is also editor-in-chief of Brill’s New Jacoby, and, for those who know him personally, a kind, amazing human being (with a great sense of humor!).

Authors:   Magister Management, University of Lampung, Indonesia, Saputra Aditia Jaya , Erlina RR. ,   Magister Management, University of Lampung, Indonesia, Rusdi Zainnur M. ,   Magister Management, University of Lampung, Indonesia
Published: December 2024

Employee engagement is a key factor in the success of an organization. One of the government agencies in Bandar Lampung (UPTD) Bandar Lampung has set targets as an integral part of the organization’s program plan, which includes achieving targets. However, the realization of these targets from 2018 to 2022 has fluctuated. This is suspected to be due to insufficient employee engagement in the organization. In this study, employee engagement is influenced by transformational leadership both directly and indirectly through perceived organizational support as a mediating variable. The aim of this study is to examine the impact of transformational leadership on employee engagement, the impact of transformational leadership on perceived organizational support, the impact of perceived organizational support on employee engagement, and whether perceived organizational support mediates the effect of transformational leadership on employee engagement. The sample size for this study is 120 respondents, using a simple random sampling method. The analysis tool used is SEM-AMOS.

Purpose: The aim of this research is to know the effect of transformational leadership on employee engagement with perceived organizational support as a mediating variable.

Patients and methods: Data has been obtained from the answer of questionnaire testing on 120 respondents who were used as samples in research using techniques simple random sampling.

Results: The results of the study show transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee engagement, transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on perceived organizational support, perceived organizational support has a positive and significant effect on employee engagement, and transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee engagement through perceived organizational support.

Conclusion: Companies can advised to implement a more effective and structured communication strategy. One important step is to hold regular meetings at all levels of the organization, where leaders actively convey the company’s vision, mission, and goals. Additionally, the organization can conduct anonymous employee surveys, open discussion forums, and suggestion boxes. Management needs to actively listen, respond, and take concrete actions based on employee feedback to build trust and increase engagement. The organization should also create a collaborative and supportive work culture, encourage teamwork by integrating teamwork assessments into performance evaluations, and provide training on leadership and interpersonal skills to enhance employees’ ability to work together.
Development of a Natech Social Vulnerability Index: A Comprehensive Multi-Hazard Risk Assessment for a Case Study in Colombia
Authors: Sun Fengyi , Cruz Ana Maria , Parra Lina María
Published: December 2024

Natech refers to complex scenarios where secondary technological accidents are triggered by natural disasters, having the potential to cause severe societal loss, especially in developing countries such as Colombia, potentially due to its vulnerable social system (Ran, MacGillivray, Gong, & Hales, 2020) (Porto & Freitas, 2003). However, one major identified research gap is the lack of a specific approach to assess the Natech social vulnerabilities. A popular vulnerability assessment tool: social vulnerability index, widely used for natural and industrial hazards, shows promising usability for Natech vulnerability assessment. The current study has proposed a novel methodology to assess Natech social vulnerability by establishing a Natech social vulnerability index based on identification of the Natech scenarios and investigation of multi-hazard intercorrelations.

To validate the introduced methodology, the author utilized rainfall-induced, landslide-triggered chemical Natech incidents in Colombia as a representative case. The study embarked on identifying distinct hazards present in varying Natech situations to determine which social elements amplify vulnerability. Subsequently, composite indicators, or social vulnerability indices, were formulated to quantitatively amalgamate these pinpointed social elements. These were mapped within diverse vulnerability conceptual paradigms and then refined and scrutinized using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The outcomes, portrayed via a Geological Information System (GIS), predominantly resonate with preceding studies. Nonetheless, certain fit index values signal potential ambiguities in model alignment.

The paper concludes into the inherent challenges and constraints of the devised methodology. Grounded on these analyses, policy recommendations tailored for the Colombian government’s vulnerability assessment have been proposed. These include advisories on refining the national census, databanks, and Natech reports. Additionally, pivotal research directions have been highlighted to address and mitigate the acknowledged research shortfalls in impending studies.

In summary, this research, encompassing its innovative methodology, findings, and advisories, serves as a pivotal reference for succeeding investigations on social vulnerability assessments related to Natech and other multi-hazard events.

Posadzki betonowe należą do elementów w obiektachbudowlanych, których projektowanie wymaga doświadczeniainżynierskiego, wykonawstwo – zachowania reżimu technologicznego,natomiast podczas ich eksploatacji niezbędne jestprowadzenie remontów okresowych. Najczęściej wykorzystywanesą jako przestrzeń robocza i komunikacyjna w obiektach przemysłowych.Niezależnie od miejsca wbudowania posadzki betonowewymagają prowadzenia okresowych prac zabezpieczających,których zakres każdorazowo powinien być indywidualnie dostosowanydo aktualnego bądź też planowanego do zmiany sposobuużytkowania obiektu. Niewłaściwy dobór technologii prackonserwacyjnych oraz niepoprawne stosowanie rozwiązań technologicznychzwiązanych z renowacją posadzek mogą spowodowaćpogorszenie ich stanu technicznego, co może doprowadzićdo konieczności ich wyłączenia z użytkowania, a to z kolei możeskutkować koniecznością przerwy w użytkowaniu obiektu budowlanego,w tym obiektów produkcyjnych obiektów przemysłowych.W pracy przedstawiono zbiór praktycznych informacji związanychz prowadzeniem prac naprawczych betonowych posadzek przemysłowych.Artykuł ma charakter studium przypadku i odnosi siędo konkretnych sytuacji związanych z utratą sprawności technicznejprzez betonowe posadzki przemysłowe.
Ocena stopnia realizacji procedury zakończeniaużytkowania wyrobów zawierających azbestna przykładzie wybranej gminy województwawarmińsko-mazurskiego

Azbest jest naturalnym minerałem, który po przeróbcestał się bardzo dobrym surowcem do produkcji materiałówbudowlanych. Na przestrzeni wielu lat badania wykazały, że jeston szkodliwy i może być przyczyną wielu chorób, a nawet śmierci.Polska, w oparciu o aktu prawne, zobowiązała się do zaprzestaniaużytkowania azbestu do 2032 roku. Przeprowadzona analizajednej z wybranych gmin województwa warmińsko-mazurskiegowykazała, że na rok 2024 istnieją duże opóźnienia w realizacjicelów zakończenia użytkowania azbestu. Wykazano, że głównąprzyczyną są rosnące koszty, które w następnych latach nadalbędą lawinowo rosły. Można zatem stwierdzić, że w roku 2032Polska może nie osiągnąć zamierzonego celu – zakończenia użytkowaniaazbestu na terenie całego kraju.
