Omawiane orzeczenie odnosi się do instytucji umorzenia opłaty rocznej z tytułu wyłączenia gruntu z produkcji rolnej na cele kultu religijnego na rzecz związku wyznaniowego na podstawie art. 12 ust. 16 ustawy z dnia 3 lutego 1995 r. o ochronie gruntów rolnych i leśnych. Zasadniczym przedmiotem analizy jest kwestia sposobu i zakresu badania w postępowaniu administracyjnym przesłanek umorzenia należności publicznoprawnych w przypadku realizacji inwestycji o charakterze użyteczności publicznej z zakresu kultu religijnego. Rozważania zmierzają do ustalenia, jakie okoliczności organ administracji publicznej powinien wziąć pod uwagę, rozpatrując sprawę o umorzenie opłaty rocznej z tytułu trwałego wyłączenia gruntu z produkcji rolnej na rzecz związku wyznaniowego, a w szczególności czy weryfikacja zasadności wniosku o umorzenie powinna ograniczać się wyłącznie do oceny ziszczenia się przedmiotowych przesłanek przyznania ulgi przewidzianych we wskazanym wyżej przepisie, czy też powinna obejmować także uwarunkowania podmiotowe, tj. analizę sytuacji związku ubiegającego się o przyznanie ulgi.
Zaprezentowane rozważania uzasadniają zaaprobowanie stanowiska sądu wskazującego na konieczność dwuetapowego badania przez organy administracji okoliczności warunkujących umorzenie opłaty rocznej. W pierwszej kolejności weryfikacji podlegają przedmiotowe przesłanki wymienione w powołanym wyżej przepisie, a następnie powinna zostać szczegółowo zbadana rzeczywista i finansowa sytuacja beneficjenta umorzenia opłaty rocznej. Taki wniosek znajduje oparcie w celu ustawy o ochronie gruntów rolnych i leśnych oraz w istocie działania organu wydającego decyzję, który rozstrzyga sprawę w ramach uznania administracyjnego.
Zachowania prospołeczne studentów pracy socjalnej Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego
Authors: Wiktorowicz-Sosnowska Monika
Published: March 2023

Temat zachowań prospołecznych oraz ich wpływ na rozwój i kształtowanie postaw człowieczeństwa był na przełomie ostatnich dekad w zainteresowaniu wielu badaczy. Zarówno koncepcje wyjaśniające altruizm jako uwarunkowany biologicznie lub osobowościowo, jak i podejście, które tłumaczy, że zjawisko pomagania jest wynikiem wychowania, są niezwykle różnorodne i stanowią szeroki zakres aktualnej wiedzy. W pracy poszukiwano odpowiedzi na pytanie, czy osoby, pomimo potencjalnych zasobów do wykonywania pracy „dla innych”, są podatne na wpływ czynników zewnętrznych. Ważna jest zatem zależność i stopień, jak element zewnętrzny będzie oddziaływać na ocenę własnego altruizmu. Przyjęto w związku z tym hipotezę, że po zaktywizowaniu badanych treści zachowań prospołecznych metodą torowania, nastąpi wzrost samooceny. W celu weryfikacji pytań i hipotez przeprowadzono badanie w grupie studentów pierwszego roku pracy socjalnej na Uniwersytecie Wrocławskim. Przebadano 45 losowo wybranych studentów, z podziałem na dwie grupy, sprawdzając za pomocą ankiety internetowej pomiar altruizmu. Do badania wykorzystano kwestionariusz A-N Jacka Śliwaka. Ankieta składała się z dwóch części, pomiędzy którymi wyświetlano badanym filmy o treści ukazującej zachowania altruistyczne oraz neutralne, dla grupy kontrolnej. Po obejrzeniu filmu badani wypełniali część drugą kwestionariusza. Badania były realizowane na przełomie grudnia 2020 roku i stycznia 2021 roku. Wyniki badań nie potwierdziły zakładanej hipotezy, że zaktywizowanie osób poprzez zjawisko torowania w istotny sposób będzie wpływać na samoocenę altruizmu wśród studentów. To pokazuje, jak złożonym do badania zjawiskiem jest altruizm. Stopień trudności wynika z konieczności uwzględnienia wielu czynników, które w efekcie analiz mogą mieć kluczowe znaczenie dla uzyskanych konkluzji.
Celebryci w strukturze społecznej
Authors: Domański Henryk
Published: March 2023

Artykuł dotyczy celebrytów jako kategorii społecznej w odniesieniu do Polski. Jest próbą odpowiedzi na pytanie, w jakim sensie celebryci są elementem hierarchii klasowej, czy można ich nazywać „klasą społeczną” i w jakim stopniu ich obecność oddziałuje na dystanse klasowe. Przedstawione poniżej argumenty przemawiają za słabym oddziaływaniem celebrytów na stratyfikację klasową, czego przejawami są wyjątkowo duża fluktuacja, brak zinstytucjonalizowanych zasad napływu i nieprzewidywalna wartość rynkowa. Celebryci cieszą się sporą popularnością, wykreowali nowe wzory zachowań, a wypowiadanie się ich na różne tematy skłania do naśladowania. Niemniej baza rekrutacyjna do tej kategorii społecznej jest bardzo szeroka, co utrudnia jej konsolidację i powoduje brak spójności wewnętrznej, sytuując ją poza strukturą klasową

A possible approach to the creation of self-learning control systems for autonomous robots
Authors: Ermolov Ivan , Khripunov Sergey
Published: March 2023

Unmanned systems often function in new, non-predetermined environment. This demands flexible and simultaneously stable function of these systems. This can be implemented by their adaptation and, as a final goal, self-learning or self-organization in control systems. Autonomous functioning in extreme environment requires self-learning drastically. Such environment can be hostile towards unmanned systems, it may contain sophisticated communication conditions. All these are deteriorated by poor on-board control algorithms. In some of such cases unmanned systems may become inefficient or, even more, useless in some cases. This brings to front necessity to create adaptive self-learning control systems for robots. These should be capable to generate efficient, or even optimal decisions in extreme environment. This paper presents on of possible approaches to create self-learning control systems based on so called decision along analogues.

Published: March 2023

This study was conducted to augment genetic variability in niger plant (Guizotia abyssinica Cass.) using gamma rays and ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) Niger (G. abyssinica) seeds of cultivar N-71 were exposed to various doses of gamma rays which ranged from 24 to 28 KR and different concentrations of EMS which ranged from 0.2 to 0.4% and in combination. Morphogenic and agronomic traits in the M1 and M2 generations that analyzed included: percentage of germination and survival, plant height, number of branches, capitulum size, number of ray florets per capitulum, number of disc florets per capitulum, head size, number of capitula per plant, number of seeds per capitulum, seed yield per plant and 1000-seed weight. The results of the present study showed that the three gamma irradiation doses used (24, 26 and 28 KR) had decreasing effect in most of the agronomic and morphological traits evaluated in M1. However, combination treatments like 24 KR+0.2% EMS and 26KR+0.4% EMS showed a noteworthy increase of grain yield and yield related components. In general, for the three irradiation doses in M1 population, there were no significant changes observed in morphological traits, however, in progenies of collective mutagenic treated seeds some potential high-yielding mutants were identified.

This study was conducted at Crop Research Farm, Nawabganj, C. S. Azad University of Agriculture and Technology, Kanpur (U. P.) during rabi 2021-22 for estimating the components of variance and other genetic parameters through 8 x 8 parent diallel cross excluding reciprocals for 11 characters in bread wheat. The variance component analysis indicated significant role of additive (D̂) and dominant (Ĥ1 and Ĥ2) genetic components for all the traits viz., days to 75% heading, days to maturity, plant height (cm), number of productive tillers per plant, spike length (cm), number of grains per spike, biological yield per plant (g), harvest index (%) and grain yield per plant (g) except additive component for 1000-grain weight (2.60) and dominant component for number of spikelets per spike (2.91 and 2.53). The estimates of dominant components (Ĥ1 and Ĥ2) were mostly greater than additive component (D̂) for all the characters indicating the greater role of non-additive gene action in the expression of attributes. The relative magnitudes of Ĥ1 component were higher than Ĥ2 component for all the characters except spike length (0.39) indicating unequal distribution of positive and negative alleles in the parent. Over dominance expression for all the attributes was due to the involvement of asymmetrical distribution of dominant genes with positive and negative effects in the parents for all the characters except spike length. Based on study, it was revealed that both additive and non-additive genes were responsible for expression of almost major of the traits.

Authors: Takizawa Junyoo , Baba Asami , Takara Tsuyoshi
Published: March 2023

Objective: This study’s purpose was to verify the PAKU-PAKU KOUBO-KUN (PPKK) containing yeast and mulberry extract concentrate’s effects on suppressing elevated postprandial blood glucose (PBG).Methods: Two randomized, placebo-controlled, crossover studies (TRIAL-1 and TRIAL-2) were conducted. Both studies included healthy Japanese adults with a maximum PBG concentration (Cmax) in the range of 140–199 mg/dL. Study subjects were randomly assigned to take PPKK or placebo food. Then subjects consumed 200 g of cooked rice within 10 minutes of test food consumption. Blood glucose (BG) levels were evaluated before intervention, and 30 min, 60 min, 90 min, and 120 min after consumption. The main endpoint was the incremental area under the curve (IAUC) of PBG.Results: The analysis included 36 subjects in TRIAL-1 and 41 subjects in TRIAL-2. A combined analysis (n = 71) was conducted. Both individual studies and combined analysis showed that PPKK significantly reduced the IAUC of PBG. In particular, BG levels were significantly lower at 30 min, 60 min, and 90 min after intervention. No adverse effects were identified. Conclusions:These results indicated that PPKK moderated the increase in PBG and enhanced glucose metabolism.Trial registration: UMIN-CTR: UMIN000042445 and UMIN000045341Foundation: Mainichiegao Co., Ltd.Keywords: postprandial blood glucose, yeast, mulberry, prediabetes, glycemic control
Distributed Vision-Based Passenger Flow Monitoring System for Light Rail Networks
Authors: Hoang Trung , Di Paola Donato , Ohazulike Anthony
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we present an innovative approach to passenger flow monitoring for light rail transportation networks. We propose a distributed system based on two main concepts. On each vehicle in the transportation network, a set of sensors is used to count people at a given place. On a cloud-based server, a data synchronization and storage system aggregates the data sent from all vehicles and provides a global view of the transportation network. The contribution, with respect to the state of the art, of our approach is twofold. First, the proposed distributed architecture is able to reduce the system global cost via its flexibility and ease of deployment, since the main part of the system is onboard each vehicle and not fixed at stations or track sections. Second, the novel vision-based passenger counting approach guarantees high levels of reliability in the estimation of the number of people in a given area, and the ability to provide real-time data on the global transportation network. Experimental results demonstrate the validity and the advantages of the proposed approach, paving way to future uses of the system as the base of additional network optimization modules for the global light rail transportation.

PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare the result of the six-minute walk test (6MWT) in patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) aged < 20 years old and individuals without CF. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, 50 children and adolescents with CF and 20 children and adolescents without CF underwent the 6MWT. Vital signs before and immediately after the 6MWT and six-minute walk distance (6MWD) were evaluated. RESULTS: The mean change in heart rate, percentage of peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2%), systolic blood pressure, respiratory rate, and dyspnea severity during the 6MWT was significantly higher in patients with CF. In the case group, 6MWD was associated with regular chest physical therapy (CPT) and forced expiratory volume (FEV)> 80%. Patients with CF receiving regular CPT or mechanical vibration and with FEV in the first second > 80% showed better physical capacity during the 6MWT (smaller Sp02% decline and lower dyspnea perception). CONCLUSION: Children and adolescents with CF have lower physical capacity compared to individuals without CF. CPT and mechanical vibration could be used to increase physical capacity in this population.

Authors: Tereschuk Mykola , Yakusevych Andrii
Published: March 2023

Many of the current reforms in Ukraine are based on issues of urban and spatial planning, which are being implemented in the modern conditions of diverse and rapid socio-economic changes. Therefore, further improvement of various means of successful solution of the outlined tasks is an urgent scientific and applied problem.

The main purpose of the current stage of social relations in material terms is the implementation of sustainable development of territorial communities for improvement of life of the population. Such development means their socially, economically and ecologically balanced functioning, aimed at creating high industrial, agricultural, scientific, educational, cultural potential with ensuring the rational use of natural, labour, financial and other resources, improving the service sector, living conditions, recreation and health enhancement of people.

The implementation by citizens, legal entities and the state of actions for innovative investment activities, i.e. the introduction of new scientific, technical and organizational solutions, investment of funds, property, intellectual values in the territorial development of communities, is one of the most productive directions of achievement of this goal. The cluster approach is a fairly popular and appropriate form of its implementation. The corresponding model includes geographically close groups of interconnected enterprises, institutions and organizations, characterized by a certain joint activity. The main task of such association is to create a more competitive socio-economic structure of the regions.

This publication is devoted to the mathematical description of the proposed method of polygonal territorial clustering as a means of automated geometric modeling of organizational structures for improvement of the efficiency of using various resources, such as natural, labour, financial and others. The study also identified some prospects for further perfection and application of the developed approach as a component of modern computer geographic information systems for optimizing territorial management.

Authors: Ertan Ersin
Published: March 2023

Pinball games may have lost their popularity over time; however, developers revived their features inside other video games or completely renovated them. While arcade pinball machines offer limited gameplay, digital pinball can be much more flexible. Nevertheless, according to the author’s preliminary investigation, academic research is lacking in pinball gaming. This artistic paper attempts to close this gap by shedding light on experimental digital pinball games. Moreover, the author focuses on music visualization features of digital pinball games, and he developed an experimental pinball video game concept based on synaesthesia by answering a simple question, “How does a classical music-based pinball video game would look like?”.

Authors: Penaforte Nathália de Freitas , Rodrigues Marcelo Cairrão Araujo
Published: March 2023

Esse estudo objetivou analisar, na literatura disponível, a influência do efeito neuroprotetor dos nutracêuticos na Doença de Parkinson (DP), seus possíveis mecanismos de ação e sua probabilidade terapêutica e preventiva. A pesquisa foi realizada por meio das bases de dados eletrônicas PubMed, Science Direct e Medline, utilizando, como ferramenta de estratégia, os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS) para selecionar os seguintes descritores de busca: Parkinson disease, nutrition, vitamins, nutraceuticals e suas combinações. Como critérios de inclusão, foram considerados estudos escritos em inglês, espanhol e português, publicados no período de janeiro de 2013 a outubro de 2020, com público em análise com diagnóstico confirmado para DP e estudos em modelo animal, sendo incluídos 42 artigos. Sabe-se que as opções de tratamento convencional e existentes para a DP trazem consigo efeitos indesejáveis, apesar de sua capacidade de fornecer alívio sintomático. Desse modo, com o intuito de se pensar em outras alternativas que possam atuar não apenas na prevenção como também no tratamento, os nutracêuticos, por virem de alimentos naturalmente disponíveis, demonstram ser uma opção favorável, além de poderem evitar efeitos colaterais. Verifica-se que o estresse oxidativo é um fator associado ao desenvolvimento da DP, e os estudos apontam que os efeitos protetores dos antioxidantes exógenos modulam esse estresse oxidativo, indicando os nutracêuticos como possíveis estratégias terapêuticas, dentre as quais foi possível evidenciar: a vitamina D, a coenzima Q10, a curcumina, a carnitina, o ômega 3, o licopeno e a taurina. Portanto, é necessário que sejam feitas novas pesquisas nesta área para avaliar seu impacto a curto e longo prazo, dosagem e eficácia validada nesse público.

Triple Threat: Spinal Dural Arteriovenous Fistula in Spinal Dysraphism and Tethered Cord Syndrome, a Case Report with Literature Review
Authors: Liew Sarah Ileen , Thanabalan Jegan , Soon Bee Hong , Zakaria Rozman
Published: March 2023

Introduction:  The incidence of spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (SDAVF) in patients with spinal dysraphism is exceedingly rare with fewer than 30 cases reported. We report such a case and discuss the etiology, diagnostic, and treatment challenges of such patients.
Case Presentation: This is a 37-year-old gentleman with a history of myelomeningocele (MMC) repair at the age of 2 years who presented to us with worsening bilateral lower limb weakness and numbness. Clinical examination demonstrated affected motor and sensory functions from the level of L2. An MRI Lumbosacral revealed S3/S4 dysraphism with a tethered low-lying conus. A CT angiogram of the spine followed by a spinal angiogram confirmed the diagnosis of a SDAVF with feeders from the median sacral artery and other branches of the left internal iliac artery. He underwent angioembolization, following which we noted a residual SDAVF and hence underwent a difficult second-stage angioembolization to the right lateral sacral artery branch. The patient remained status quo on follow-up.
Conclusion:  SDAVFs occurring in spinal dysraphism requires a high index of suspicion to ensure the diagnosis is not missed or masked by co-existing tethered cord and dysraphism. These lesions should be managed in a multidisciplinary multimodal individualized fashion.
An Analysis of Politeness Strategies used by Non-Native Saudi English Speakers in Family Gatherings
Authors: AlShlowi Arwa Hamdan
Published: March 2023

In social interaction, people need to be polite and aware of others' self-image, feelings and wants to maintain and build good relationships. For this goal, people use various politeness strategies to save the hearer's face when face-threatening acts are inevitable. This paper aims to examine the types of politeness strategies used by six Saudi family members, three girls and two boys, in their interactions based on Brown and Levinson's theory of politeness strategies (1987) and to find out the most frequent politeness strategies used by them. The data were collected by recording the participants on different occasions in family gatherings and using a qualitative approach. Based on the analysis, there were 33 utterances containing all four types of politeness strategies. The most frequent politeness strategy used was the positive politeness strategy (33.33%) and followed by negative politeness (30.30%), bald-on record (21.21%), and off-record (15.15%). This study could lead to further research on politeness strategy in other conversational settings with regard to the effect of power and gender.

Refashioning the Heroic:
Authors: Gwynne Paul
Published: March 2023

In the late sixteenth century, five Jesuit brothers led by Rodolfo Acquaviva (1550–84) set out for the court of the Mughal emperor Julāl-ud-Dīn Muhammad Akbar (1556–1605). Unfortunately, their dream of founding a mission in India was brutally terminated by local opposition in July 1584. When their martyrdom was announced in Rome, it was immediately celebrated by Francesco Benci (1542–94), professor of rhetoric at the Collegium Romanum, in a six-book epic, Quinque martyres e Societate Iesu in India (Venice: Muschius, 1591). The poem was the first of a new type of epic, distinct from yet dependent upon the Classical tradition. This paper emphasises Benci’s innovation by analysing his transformation of the language and ethos of Classical epic into a new form, Jesuit neo-Latin epic. The Paciecidos (Coimbra: Universitatis Typographus, 1640), written by Bartholomeu Pereira (1588–1650), professor of Scripture at the Jesuit college in Coimbra, continues in the same tradition. This twelve-book epic extols the missionary exploits of his cousin Francisco Pacheco (1566–1626), Provincial of the Society of Jesus in Japan, chronicling Pacheco’s voyage from Macau, his covert missionary work during the Christian persecutions under the Shogun, and his eventual arrest. The poem culminates in horrific scenes of the martyrdom of Pacheco and eight companions at Nagasaki in June 1626.

The Fourth Industrial Revolution generated changes not only in the accounting and financial activities and processes but also in the set of digital competencies that management accountants must demonstrate. This paper aims to examine the impact of digitalisation in managerial accounting in terms of the changes generated in the set of digital skills. By wielding an inductive cross-sectional qualitative approach, we examined longitudinally and comparatively the evolution of the curricula in the last decade, defined by two widely recognised qualifications provided by the most important international professional bodies in managerial accounting – the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA). The research’s findings highlight that currently, the digital competencies management accountants should demonstrate are focused on both technologies already widely adopted by the business environment, such as cloud computing, big data, and data analytics, but also on emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, blockchain, and Internet of Things. Even though at the beginning of the analysed period, the set of digital competencies was relatively narrow, once most industries started navigating Industry 4.0, it extended, thus allowing management accountants to continue providing valuable information and embrace the new role of advisors. These results emphasise the changing role of the management accountant through the lens of digitalisation, providing valuable insights for practitioners and universities regarding the importance of an adequate set of competencies vital in a highly digitalised profession.

Published: March 2023

In martial law conditions, one of the tasks of the state is to minimize the recession and restore the level of entrepreneurial activity of business entities through tax regulation tools. The article aims to reveal the peculiarities of taxation and tax restrictions, as well as to determine their combined impact on the entrepreneurial activity of taxpayers of the single tax of the third group under martial law. Scientific approaches to revealing the essence of entrepreneurial activity were summarized. The Global Report 2021/2022 “Opportunity Amid Disruption” results by the global research program on entrepreneurial activity were elaborated. The increased possibilities of entrepreneurial activity in martial law conditions were emphasized. The author's concept of “entrepreneurial activity” was substantiated. The terminological origin and essence of the term “peculiarities of taxation” were revealed. The concept of “peculiarities of taxation” was introduced into terminological circulation. The need to refer to the term “peculiarities of taxation” to the group of additional elements of the tax has been proven. Three types of tax restrictions were distinguished according to the classification feature “by groups of single taxpayers’. An analysis of changes in tax legislation regarding the removal of tax restrictions for payers of the single tax of the third group under martial law was carried out. Differences in using tax restrictions in peacetime and during martial law were shown. It was revealed that removing tax restrictions on the income and the number of employees for taxpayers of the third group of single tax was timely and appropriate. It was proposed to spread the experience gained in removing tax restrictions for taxpayers of the single tax for the post-war period. Changes in the structure of third-group single taxpayers in the Khmelnytskyi region were analyzed. A deviation in the registration number among entrepreneurs and legal entities of the mixed group of taxpayers of the third group of single tax was revealed. The conceptual direction of regulation of tax restrictions in Ukraine was substantiated.

Bu çalışmanın amacı; literatürde, hakkında birinci el kaynaklara dayanan hiçbir çalışma bulunmayan dokuzuncu Diyanet İşleri Başkanı Ali Rıza Hakses ve döneminde gerçekleş-tirilen yaygın din eğitimi faaliyetlerini incelemektir. Betimsel tarama modeli üzerine inşa edilen çalışmada, verilerin toplanma sürecinde belgesel tarama tekniği, verilerin analiz edilmesinde ise betimsel analiz yöntemi tercih edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak Hakses’in Osmanlı’nın yıkılışına ve Cumhuriyet’in kuruluşuna tanıklık eden, üstlendiği farklı gö-revlerle teşkilatın kurumsal yapısına, hali hazırdaki sorunlarına ve onların çözüm yolla-rına vakıf olan önemli bir din alimi olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, söz konusu birikim neticesinde, Hakses döneminde teşkilatın, yaygın din eğitimi faaliyetleri ile ilgili gerçekleştirmeye çalıştığı temel hedeflerinin şunlar olduğu tespit edilmiştir: Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı için gerekli olan tüzük ve yönetmelikleri çıkarmak; teşkilat mensupları-nın mesleki formasyonlarını yükseltmek; ülkedeki ibadethanelerin sayısını ve verimlili-ğini artırmak; dini ve milli günleri milletin birliği ve beraberliği noktasında etkin kul-lanmak; taşra teşkilatında din hizmeti sunan tüm müftülüklerde birer kütüphane oluş-turmak ve dini yayın ve basın hizmetlerinin sayısını ve çeşidini arttırmak.
Modulation of gut-immune-brain axis by non-digestible oligosaccharides and omega-3 fatty acids in health and allergic disease
Authors:   , Szklany Kirsten
Published: March 2023

In early life, the intestinal microbiota undergoes a tremendous maturation and if disturbed this has been associated with negative effects on immune and brain development. Healthy microbiome maturation is supported by components like prebiotics like short-chain galacto-oligosaccharides (scGOS) and long-chain fructo-oligosaccharides (lcFOS) and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs), which are present in infant formula milk to mimic human breast milk. The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the additional effects of a dietary combination of scGOS:lcFOS and n-3 PUFAs to improve health as well as to prevent cow’s milk allergy (CMA) development.

In healthy mice, the combination of scGOS:lcFOS and n-3 PUFAs altered the intestinal bacterial composition in a distinct manner compared to the effects of the compounds individually. Additionally, scGOS:lcFOS improved social behaviour and reduced anxiety-like and repetitive behaviour, however, the n-3 PUFA and the combined interventions had limited to no effect on the evaluated behaviours and immune system parameters.

CMA development was partly prevented by scGOS:lcFOS or n-3 PUFAs in mice but no additional effect was observed by the combination. Splenic cytokine responses were reduced and caecal butyrate level was induced by scGOS:lcFOS which tended to be impaired when combined with n-3 PUFAs, indicating the individual effects seemed to be negatively impacted when combined. It could also suggest a possible interaction between the dietary components, which was evaluated by studying modulation of intestinal Pparɣ expression, physical and chemical interaction and modulation of intestinal bacterial fermentation.

It is no option to leave scGOS:lcFOS or n-3 PUFAs out of formula milk but it is essential to evaluate individual components and combinations as they might act differently than expected.
REFORM OF THE CRIMINAL LAW OF ACTIONS ABOUT THE MISUSE OF FIRE WEAPONS IN INDONESIA
Authors: Khoirunisa Debby , Koswara Indra Yudha , Taun Taun
Published: March 2023

Since March 8, 1946, the Criminal Code has been used as criminal law in Indonesia, although changes have been made several times in the criminal law code. It is now realized that the Criminal Code is no longer able to accommodate the aspirations of the people who are developing rapidly due to several factors. The development of crimes that occur in society is also evidence that the Criminal Code does not provide legal protection to the community. In analyzing criminal law, one must pay attention to the social norms and standards that have been established and applied by the criminal law. As a result, social norms turn into legal norms. In the context of a democratic society, congruence eventually occurs between various social norms, through social ethics and legal norms. The development of punishment raises the idea or principle of punishment, making the convict a subject rather than an object so that he views the convict as a whole human being. by the Indonesian people, which has received social attention as a result of the search for alternative punishments for other independence crimes.

This study was proposed to study and analyze behavioral financial technologies for the development of MSMEs in the culinary field in the city of Semarang. There has been a lot of research related to fintech (fintech) or fintech topics or issues, but not much research has been found on behavioral fintech, especially related to MSME business development. The sample of the study is 125 culinary MSMEs in the city of Semarang. The data collected through the questionnaires was then analyzed using smartpls. This study found that financial satisfaction, owner characteristics, social impact, and risk reduction had a positive (significant) impact on behavioral finance, while financial literacy had a significant negative impact on behavioral finance. Behavioral financial factors have a significant positive impact on MSME business development. This means that Behavioral Finance as a mediation variable between Financial Satisfaction, Owner Characteristics, Financial Literacy, Risk Mitigation, Social Influence variables affecting on business development. Many of them (MSMEs) claimed that they have no experience of using digital technologies themselves, in this case, online transaction applications, and they still did not understand financial literacy. Future research on other variables that do have a positive and significant impact on MSME business development. The sample size also needs to be increased in size and diversity of the MSME sector by at least 60-70% in order for the study to better describe the situation and the state of the MSME.Keywords:behavioral finance, financial satisfaction, financial literacy, risk reduction, social impact business development
Mont Blanc Imagined: Poetry, Science and the Prospect-View in Davy and Coleridge
Authors: Fulford Tim
Published: March 2023

My discussion of Davy intervenes in several critical debates about Romantic literature and science. First, I show that for Davy, ‘literature’ and science were neither inimical nor even merely analogous disciplines. Poetry was not simply related to scientific discourse because both expressed the enquirer’s understanding of nature; it was formally related to experimental enquiry as a formulation on paper of the mental organization of the world-as-apprehended that is both akin to and a preparation for the mental organization of the world-as-apprehended that takes form as experimental design. Second, Davy’s poetry, developing Coleridge’s, constitutes a development of the prospect-view tradition in that it is as concerned with the mental process of prospecting as it is with the object viewed. In this respect, it is a modification of the materialist account of perception of the medical and scientific men who set the agenda of the Bristol circle in which both Coleridge and Davy first flourished – Erasmus Darwin and Darwin’s main advocate, their mentor Thomas Beddoes.
Resistências tecnológicas: desvios do artesanato composicional
Authors: Valente Rodolfo
Published: March 2023

O presente artigo discute as transformações do gesto artesanal do compositor sobre o material sonoro, cujas resistências especí­ficas se modificam com sua fixação sobre suporte, inicialmente por meio da notação musical e depois pela reprodutibilidade mecânica dos sons. A partir daí­, investiga-se as forças imaginativas mobilizadas pela música eletroacústica, suas resistências tecnológicas e seus desenvolvimentos com o surgimento do computador e a digitalização generalizada do fazer musical, que acaba por trazer o compositor de volta ao palco como performer.
Da etnoficção segundo Jean Rouch: contribuições do processo criativo do cineasta para o pensamento e a prática do documentário
Authors: Straccialano Coelho Sandra
Published: March 2023

Ao longo de pouco mais de meio século de atividades vinculadas, sobretudo ao campo da antropologia, Jean Rouch produziu uma obra não apenas extensa como difí­cil de ser classificada, com filmes cuja circulação quase sempre se viu restrita aos festivais de filmes etnográficos, mas que se tornou especialmente reconhecida a partir de um pequeno conjunto de tí­tulos caracterizado, em sua maioria, sob a etiqueta da etnoficção. Termo cunhado provavelmente no seio da crí­tica cinematográfica (Sjöberg 2009), a etnoficção tem sido apropriada por diferentes autores dedicados ao estudo da filmografia rouchiana, funcionando como uma espécie de categoria intuitiva para designar todos os filmes do cineasta que se julga não caberem muito bem seja sob a rubrica do "filme etnográfico" seja sob a do "filme de ficção" . Segundo a posição a ser defendida nesse artigo ela reflete a posição igualmente ambí­gua que foi ocupada por Jean Rouch no campo do cinema, a qual permitiu ao cineasta tensionar os limites da prática documentária em um contexto favorável à constituição de seu nome como um paradigma. A despeito da pouca discussão teórica sobre sua especificidade, essa produção etnoficcional coloca, ainda hoje, problemas latentes para a prática e reflexão sobre o cinema documentário.Palavras-chave: Cinema documentário.
