Principles of mediation as an out-of-court way of resolving conflicts in the field of intellectual property
Authors: Rieznik Oleh , Rubanenko Alla
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to defining the principles of mediation as an extrajudicial way of resolving conflicts in the field of intellectual property. It was found that the principles of mediation are normatively established both at the level of international legal documents (independence; voluntariness; self-determination; confidentiality) and national legislation (voluntariness; confidentiality; neutrality, independence and impartiality of the mediator; self-determination and equality of rights of the mediation parties). Some scientific points of view regarding the determination of the principles on which the mediation procedure should be built, including in the field of intellectual property, have been studied. It was concluded that among the principles of mediation presented in the study, including in the field of intellectual property, despite some differences in scientific approaches to their classification, there are those that are often repeated (in particular, the principles of voluntariness, confidentiality, neutrality and impartiality of the mediator as a mediator, equal rights of mediation parties, etc.). Based on the results of the study of individual scientific positions on the selection of mediation principles, the author’s vision is proposed regarding the conditional classification of mediation principles as an extrajudicial way of resolving conflicts in the field of intellectual property into two groups: common law principles – the basic fundamentals of mediation in the field of intellectual property without which, in general, contractual relations in the field mediation is considered impossible (principles of legality, humanism, democracy, justice, rule of law, etc.); special principles – principles directly related to mediation as an out-of-court method of dispute settlement in the field of intellectual property (voluntariness, confidentiality, neutrality and impartiality of the mediator as a mediator, equality of rights of parties to the mediation, etc.).

Key words:mediation, intellectual property, voluntariness, principles, confidentiality, independence, impartiality, equality.

Authors: Farsia Lina
Published: July 2024

Gender discrimination in the workplace remains a significant challenge, affecting various aspects of employment, including hiring, promotion, and compensation. Despite advancements in gender equality, women are often treated less favorably than men, irrespective of their qualifications and performance. This issue is pervasive and can be influenced by deeply rooted cultural and religious beliefs that shape attitudes and decisions in professional settings. Women frequently face barriers to leadership roles and receive lower wages compared to their male counterparts. This paper explores the ongoing gender discrimination in workplaces, highlighting its causes and impacts, and proposes actionable strategies to foster a more inclusive and equitable work environment for all employees.

By one-pot four- and three-component Ugi reactions involving convertible isocyanides and unexplored pyrrole-containing β-chlorovinylaldehyde, a small library of 20 bisamides with unusual behavior in post-Ugi transformations was prepared and characterized. Surprisingly, a well-documented approach to obtain peptide-containing carboxylic acids through acid hydrolysis of the convertible isocyanide moiety in the Ugi bisamides proceeded in an unexpected manner in our case, leading to the formation of derivatives of amides of heterylidenepyruvic acid. An optimized synthetic protocol for this transformation was elaborated and a plausible sequence involving the elimination of the 2-chloroacetamide moiety and the conversion of the β-chlorovinyl fragment into a vinyl one is provided.
Assessing the Tourism-Led Inflation Hypothesis
Authors: Kožić Ivan , Sorić Petar , Sever Ivan
Published: July 2024

The tourism-led economic growth hypothesis is one of the most investigated concepts in tourism economics literature. It has been verified by many empirical studies so far. Since the concept of growth-driven inflation belongs to the fundamentals of macroeconomic theory, one could reasonably assume inflation can also be led by tourism development. The question, however, is through what mechanisms could it be adequately identified and assessed. If anywhere, tourism-led inflation could first and foremost be perceived in a country with a significant economic impact of tourism. We take one of such countries as a case study and use the structural vector autoregression methodology to examine tourism-led inflation. The presented empirical framework may also serve as a role model applicable to other countries and regions.
Examining the Effects of Importance Attached to Content Sharing and Knowledge Sharing Facilitators on
Tourists’ Actual Travel Experience Sharing Behaviour
Authors: Cetinsöz Burcin Cevdet , Cakır Onur , Durdu Karaca Mina , Arıca Resat
Published: July 2024

The study examines the effects of the importance of social media (SM) sharing and the knowledge-sharing facilitators on the tourists’ tendency to share their actual experiences on SM. Data were collected from 323 local (Turkish) tourists through face-to-face interviews. The convenience sampling method was used to collect data. PLS algorithm, blindfolding and bias-corrected bootstrapping methods were utilized to test the measurement and structural models. The findings revealed that the importance of participant and non-participant sharing did not directly affect the actual travel experience-sharing behaviour. Altruistic and personal fulfilment and self-actualization motivations as facilitators were found to have a full mediating effect in the relationship between the importance of content sharing and actual travel experience sharing. Thus, tourism sector managers should stimulate altruistic and self-actualization motivations as facilitators to encourage tourists to share their actual travel experiences on SM.

The Use of Social Exchange Theory in Exploring Residents' Perceptions of Tourism
Authors: Eyisi Afamefuna , Lee Diane , Trees Kathryn
Published: July 2024

Following increased awareness that the economic impacts alone do not justify support for tourism, studies on residents' perceptions have gained importance. Most early studies of tourism that used social exchange theory (SET) to study residents' perceptions were in advanced countries rather than African countries. This paper provides an empirical discussion of how SET can be used to explore residents’ perceptions of tourism in Southeastern Nigeria to contribute to research on the topic. In-depth interviews were conducted with 208 residents. Results of this study indicated that residents' perceptions of tourism could be influenced by creating opportunities for gender equity, community development and cultural preservation, fear of copying new behaviour from tourists, and local perceptions of foreign white tourists. The study concluded that a theoretical understanding of residents' perceptions of tourism requires identifying and addressing issues that influence such perceptions, which is essential for developing the industry in the area.

Published: July 2024

The development of digital technology plays an important role in various human activities including the field of higher education. One of the uses of digital technology in management affairs such as examination management at Vocational College (KV). College Vocational Management System (CVMS) is a web-based Academic Management System for the use of Malaysian Vocational Diploma (DVM) at Pasir Mas Vocational College which was developed by the expertise of trained lecturers. This CVMS system was completed in January 2019. The problem faced by most lecturers is not having an efficient system that can facilitate exam management. Vocational College Management System (VCMS) is a KV examination management system developed to facilitate examination administration at KV. A survey involving 480 users of the VCMS system and findings related to the usefulness and ease of use of the VCMS system showed that the reaction of the majority of respondents was at a high level. However, from the aspect of readiness, there are several factors that cause VCMS users to be less interested in using it. The highest factor is the internet factor which is less satisfactory in most KVs which recorded a value of 62.5% of respondents. In addition, other factors that contribute to the problem of readiness to practice the VCMS system are lack of skills in the field of digital technology (attitude problems, task overlap problems, complicated system problems (complicated) and lack of training and exposure to the VCMS system. This finding shows that the behavior technological readiness is strongly influenced by four factors namely optimism (optimism), innovativeness (innovativeness), discomfort (discomfort) and anxiety (insecurity) in the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA) and also has a relationship with the factors of usefulness (usefulness) and ease of use (ease of use) which is recommended in the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM).

Heavy metals pose a significant environmental threat due to their toxic nature and long-lasting presence in ecosystems. Adsorption is a notable method for reducing low-concentration heavy metals in wastewater due to its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and high efficiency. Nanocellulose-based adsorbents are gaining significant attention due to their environmentally friendly characteristics and unique properties. They are particularly effective in addressing heavy metal ion contamination, such as Cu(II). Malaysia possesses a significant quantity of pandan leaves, which show potential for applications in wastewater treatment and as a valuable source of nanocellulose for polymer composites. Various techniques, including chemical pretreatments and the sulfuric acid hydrolysis method, are employed to extract nanocellulose from pandan leaves. Acrylamide, a vinyl monomer, is subsequently employed for grafting. In addition, AAS was used to monitor the removal of Cu(II) ions. This study investigates the binding characteristics of nanocellulose derived from pandan leaves with varying concentrations of Cu(II) using a series of batch adsorption experiments. Our study reveals that a concentration of 30 ppm Cu(II) has a significant effect on the adsorption efficiency of pandan leaf nanocellulose.

Chirality, a fundamental property of molecules, has garnered significant interest in recent years due to its implications in various technological and scientific advancements. Chiral nanoparticles (CNPs) provide an elegant route to combine the advantages of two worlds; the widespread applications of NPs and the specific benefits, gained due to their chirality generating a large body of opportunities, such as better performance of NPs in biological applications or circularly polarized light (CPL) emitters or high-surface features that are asymmetric catalysts to name a few. Accordingly, large-scale production of CNPs is an obvious demand, which is not easy to be realized with the methods that are commonly used, due to CNPs being either highly material specific or not easily scalable. We suggest the use of circularly polarized light for laser ablation in liquids (CP-LAL) as a chiral variant of LAL to fabricate CNPs, specifically benefiting from the advantageous properties of LAL such as scalability, universality, and green-synthesis principles conformity. The combination of circularly polarized light with laser ablation in liquid techniques (CP-LAL) presents a novel means of exploring the tangled relationships between circularly polarised light and chiral nanoparticle formation, paving the way for innovative applications and deeper insights into the fundamental light-matter interactions.

This research aims to investigate the application of smart packaging in exhibited antimicrobial activity against bacteria such as E. coli and S. aureus. An alternative of non-degradable plastic based on the green synthesis of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2  NPs) and biofilm of Chitosan-TiO2 NPs has been developed. TiO2 NPs are known to be effective antimicrobial agents synthesized from Psidium Guajava leaves. Chitosan is a natural carbohydrate polymer employed in smart biofilm for packaging for a long time due to its biodegradability, biocompatibility, and low toxicity. Chitosan-Titanium dioxide Biofilm underwent characterization study through XRD, FTIR and FESEM. The analysis has shown the spectra minima at 380 nm from UV- vis analysis represents TiO2 bands, the small size of titanium dioxide nanoparticle at 5-10 nm obtained from FESEM analysis, the crystallographic nature is "plane of TiO2  anatase" through XRD analysis, and the main functional group involved are carboxylic group O–H and Ti-O-Ti from FTIR analysis. The titanium dioxide nanoparticle was incorporated into chitosan, and the effectiveness of antimicrobial properties of the incorporated packaging was studied and recorded by observing the inhabitant zone. Consequently, TiO2-Chitosan efficiently suppresses the growth of bacterial colonies. The study only considers the antimicrobial packaging used, which will be disposed of generally for biodegradable packaging.

The discovery of cost-effective electrocatalyst materials suitable for anode catalyst for direct ethanol fuel cell (DEFC) is a significant problem. In this context, candle soot has been selected as a catalyst support material as it has higher electrical conductivity. Furthermore, there is a limited amount of research conducted on the use of candle soot as a catalyst support, making it an interesting and novel avenue of exploration. The purposes conducting this research was to evaluate the electrochemical properties of different calcination temperature supported on candle soot towards ethanol oxidation reaction (EOR). Ni/FS electrocatalyst were calcined at 600, 650, 700, 750, and 800 °C. Chronoamperometry (CA) and cyclic voltammetry (CV) methods were used to analyze the electrochemical characteristics. CV investigation showed that Ni/FS catalytic activity has the maximum current density of 6.93 mA/cm2 at 800 °C. 800 °C had the greatest IF/IB ratio (1.15) among the calcination temperatures. CA research showed that 800 °C Ni/FS, supported by candle soot, had the highest retention rate (50.00 %) and was the most stable electrocatalyst. Hence, 800 °C of calcination temperature is the maximum temperature for nickel supported on candle soot towards ethanol oxidation reaction.

Published: July 2024

Malaysia has an abundance of mineral deposits, but their utilisation in the production of high-end products, particularly in the biomedical applications are still lacking. This study aimed to identify the potential of limestone and silica sand for the development of bioactive glass ceramic. The glass ceramic composition was developed from the parent glass composition of SiO2 (55 wt.%), Na2CO3 (10 wt.%), CaCO3 (35 wt.%), and P2O5 (3 wt.%). To produce the glass ceramic, the glass powder was compacted and heated to 600 °C for nucleation, followed by sintering temperatures of 850, 950, and 1000°C for 60 minutes. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, Vickers hardness, and density measurements were performed to characterise the glass ceramic. An in vitro bioactivity test of glass ceramic was examined by immersion in simulated body fluid (SBF) for 1, 3, 7, and 14 days, and the sample was characterised by FESEM-EDX. The XRD analysis of a glass ceramic pellet sintered at 950°C revealed the presence of high crystallisation of wollastonite and nepheline. It also exhibits a high density and Vickers hardness, with values of 3.10 g/cm3 and 4.60 GPa, respectively. After 14 days of immersion in SBF, the FESEM-EDX analysis indicated the formation of an apatite layer with a Ca/P range of 1.54 to 1.81. Thus, this study demonstrated that local limestone and silica sand have enormous potential for use in the development of bioactive glass ceramics that can be employed as implant materials and in dental applications.

Narrating the multiverse in literature, comics, and film
Authors: Thomann Vera
Published: July 2024

This article expands the existing scholarly work on possible worlds theory to trace the logics of multiverse narratives in literature, comics, television, and film. In considering highly diverse works by authors and producers such as Jorge Luis Borges, Italo Calvino, DC Comics, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it demonstrates that the contemporary many-worlds syndrome presents a trans-media re-negotiation of narratological rule systems that is based on a transfer of formats and conditions from literature to comics, television, and film. On the one hand, it facilitates renewed interconnections between extra- and intradiegetical narrative elements, effectively producing intradiegetical narratological cohesion through non-narratological categories. On the other hand, it counteracts said de-hierarchization by introducing a range of cohesion devices that establish connections between the typically disparate domains of rhetoric, form, materiality, and aesthetics in contemporary narratives. It is through this deliberate de- and re-stabilization of narrative modalities that the multiverse effectively alters and reforms the paradigms of contemporary storytelling.
“Justice for Harry Kim!”

Published: July 2024

Although
Star Trek: Voyager
’s Ensign Harry Kim, portrayed by Taiwanese American actor Garrett Wang, remains the character of East Asian descent with the most on-screen time in the
Star Trek
franchise, the Kim character remains under-examined by scholars, often reduced to his widely lamented exclusions from professional advancement and durable heterosexual romance. By assembling a trans-media archive including Wang’s previous work in Asian American theater and the Kim character’s queer Asian American reception, this paper instead reads Kim and Wang for their experiments in alternative forms of ethical response to vexed dynamics attending Asian American masculinity, extending dialogues between feminist and queer currents in sf and Asian American studies.

It is characterized by small to medium-sized basidiomata that are initially parabolic to convex, becoming planate to concave at maturity, dull red or purplish-red to reddish brown at the center with a pale margin, become too red at the center become reddish brown to light radish brown margin at maturity, and large ellipsoid basidiospores. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on ITS sequences confirmed its identity as a new taxon nested within the subgenus Minores sect. Minores.

The introduction and spread of alien fish species pose a major threat to native communities and ecosystem functioning in freshwaters. Black bullhead is one of the most successful invaders in European waters with several detrimental effects on native biota and ecosystems. In this study, we used stable isotope analysis to compare the body size and season-dependent diet, trophic position, isotopic niche size, and niche overlap of the invasive black bullhead with two native fish species (roach and European perch) in Lake Balaton, Hungary. We found that black bullhead could be characterized by invertivore-piscivorous feeding habit with a high rate of fish consumption. The rate of fish predation by invasive black bullhead increased with body size, while no seasonal differences were observed in fish consumption. Contrary to our hypothesis, little evidence of actual feeding competition was found between black bullhead and native fishes. Our results suggest that the studied species assimilate distinct energy resources in different proportions leading to a substantial amount of niche partitioning among them. We conclude that black bullhead may represent a threat for native, small-sized fishes primarily through predation and recommend urgent management actions (e.g. selective removal of the species) to minimize its adverse impacts on native communities.

Invasive non-native species (INNS) are key drivers of global biodiversity loss. This is particularly evident in freshwater ecosystems, where the rates of both vertebrate biodiversity loss and biological invasion exceed those of marine and terrestrial systems. Aotearoa New Zealand (henceforth Aotearoa) like many other island nations, has a troubled history with NNS. However, it is also unique, as the main islands were the last major landmasses on Earth to remain uninhabited by humans. The endemic fauna had evolved in isolation from any anthropogenic influence or introduced NNS, until the mid-thirteenth century with the arrival of Māori, the first people to inhabit Aotearoa. Centuries later, following European colonisation, many non-native freshwater fish were deliberately introduced by acclimatisation societies. Currently, most of the native freshwater fish species of Aotearoa are at risk of extinction, despite almost 90% of these being found nowhere else on earth. Many of these species are highly valued by the indigenous people of Aotearoa, who have repeatedly highlighted biases towards NNS in freshwater fish management. With the rate of biological invasions increasing, it is timely to address interconnected issues concerning the history, impacts, management and current / future policy directions, including those involving biosecurity, for non-native freshwater fish in Aotearoa. We do this by applying a social-ecological systems (SES) lens, with a focus on causal-loop relationships and feedbacks to improve understanding of the dynamics of drivers, mechanisms and impacts of such invasions. We highlight the tensions that have resulted from managing some NNS as ‘pests’ threatening native biodiversity, while simultaneously promoting a tourism and recreational fishery resource for specific NNS. This has generated extremely polarized views on the ‘status’ of non-native freshwater fish species and given rise to contradictory and divergent goals for their management. We show how a disjointed and often incoherent policy landscape has contributed to legal ‘anomalies’ for NNS, including policy misalignments and gaps, hampering effective use of resources, while also entrenching contradictory management programmes for different stakeholders. Our study shows how these interconnected issues have been manifested in social-ecological feedback loops on core aspects of NNS policy and management, past and present. Consequently, there is a need for increased comprehension of the diverse array of potential impacts of NNS for different environments, stakeholders and Māori while developing coherent and practical management methods to reduce such impacts and improve social-ecological resilience. We conclude that adopting a SES approach will aid this endeavour.
Model analysis for an HIV infectious disease using elasticity and sensitivity techniques

Published: July 2024

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is an infection that mainly impacts CD4+ T cells inside the immune system, causing a gradual decline in immunological function. If untreated, this can lead to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), a disorder in which the body becomes extremely susceptible to opportunistic infections due to a severely compromised immune system. This paper presents a rigorous analysis of a mathematical model that describes the dynamics of HIV infectious disease transmission. There are some key outputs of the study presented. First, we derive the basic reproduction number (R0) which determines the threshold for disease persistence. Then, we analyze the stability of the disease-free and endemic equilibria. After that, we perform a sensitivity analysis to identify the key parameters that influence the dynamics of the system. The basic reproduction number (R0) is calculated using the next generation matrix approach. The stability of the disease-free and endemic equilibria is investigated to understand the long-term behavior of the model. A sensitivity analysis is conducted to determine which model parameters have the greatest impact on the spread of HIV. The model includes a class of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, and has both infection-free and endemic infection equilibrium points. The elasticity of R0 related to the model parameters is determined, and the local sensitivities between the model variables and parameters are numerically evaluated using non-normalization, half-normalization, and full-normalization techniques. The numerical results show that there are different sensitivities between model compartments and model parameters. The findings offer valuable insights for designing effective control strategies and optimizing interventions aimed at curbing the spread of HIV.
Experiências em realidade virtual:
Authors: Rolla Giovanni , Miranda de Figueiredo Nara , Nunes de Vasconcelos Guilherme
Published: July 2024

A realidade virtual tem se tornado cada vez mais presente, o que dá origem a novas questões filosóficas: qual a natureza de experiências em realidade virtual? Seriam elas exatamente como percepções usuais, ou elas possuem algum traço que as diferencia? Seriam ilusórias? Nós argumentamos que experiências em realidade virtual não devem ser tratadas como ilusórias, assim como defendido pela maioria dos teóricos contemporâneos, mas sim como alusórias, condicionadas à incorporação do hardware e ao conhecimento prático envolvido no uso da tecnologia. Para tal, abordamos sua associação com ilusões, exploramos como se relacionam com as nossas experiências do cotidiano e apresentamos nossa proposta de que podem ser compreendidas como alusórias. Em seguida mostramos que seu caráter alusório não as torna indistinguíveis de experiências não-virtuais, uma vez que os limites biológicos e sensório-motores da cognição fornecem o limiar de diferenciação, mesmo nos casos de realidade aumentada. Além disso, exploramos o surgimento da tecnologia de realidade aumentada e discutimos a possibilidade de substituir sistematicamente a percepção por projeções ilusórias. No entanto, até o momento, não há evidências empíricas que sustentem essa possibilidade. Destacamos a importância da relação entre percepção e ação no ambiente físico e argumentamos que erros pontuais em experiências virtuais não caracterizam seu estado como ilusório.
Herbart, Beneke y los primeros capítulos del Psychologismusstreit
Authors: Porta Mario Ariel González
Published: July 2024

La llamada “polémica en torno al psicologismo” (Psychologismusstreit) se compone en realidad de una serie de polémicas singulares que no poseen necesariamente vínculo factual entre sí. La discusión entre Herbart y Beneke es una de ellas, poseyendo particular importancia por encontrarse en el comienzo del conflicto. En ella el psicologista Beneke percibe con agudeza los puntos débiles de la posición herbartiana e inicia una línea de argumentación que, con variaciones, se mantendrá constante en el psicologismo y dará sentido a que el último acto del drama llamado Psychologismusstreit sea dado por la fenomenología husserliana.
Transformative Social Work Education
Authors: Moonga Fred , Kafula Sheila C.
Published: July 2024

Although the social work profession is inherently transformative, it is also going through transformation to meet local and global changes and challenges brought about by climate change and environmental degradation, social and health inequalities, poverty and sustainable development, among others. Experiential learning, social justice, inequalities, and empowerment are central to the transformation process. In this chapter, the authors discuss transformative social work education and how it fosters empowerment through experience. Transformative and experiential learning theories are examined, and it is shown how they contribute to transformation and empowerment. The authors argue that transformative social work education is the hallmark of empowerment because the profession (itself transformative), centralizes empowerment by enhancing capabilities of the people it serves. Field work education is perhaps the main transformation mechanism that social work uses. As such, social work education should nourish environments in which transformation would easily be fostered.
