Gen Z and Their Sustainable Shopping Behavior in the Second-Hand Clothing Segment: Case Study of the Slovak Republic
Authors: Mazanec Jaroslav , Harantová Veronika
Published: April 2024

The fashion industry is an integral part of people’s lives with different purchasing behaviors depending on age and education. In this paper, we focused on the perception of online shopping for second-hand clothes and shoes among Generation Z. This group has a lot of experience in using technology, so online shopping is a suitable way to buy second-hand clothes. The article aims to analyze the online shopping behavior of Gen Z, focusing on benefits, obstacles, environmental awareness, and preferred shopping platforms. We studied consumer preferences in shopping for second-hand clothes based on a sample consisting of 340 respondents representing Generation Z through an online Google Forms questionnaire published from November to January. The results show that price is the biggest advantage of shopping for second-hand clothes. Moreover, we found that the environmental aspect plays a significant role for all consumers, regardless of the online experience of shopping for second-hand clothes and shoes. The correspondence maps demonstrate that consumers with shopping experience planning a future purchase of second-hand clothing are aware of the environmental impact of purchasing clothing together with potential buyers of second-hand clothing, unlike consumers without any interest in purchasing second-hand clothing. These consumers and potential buyers of second-hand clothing consider environmental protection and high-quality, diverse (unique) clothing to be key benefits, in contrast to a smaller selection and used clothing. These conclusions provide a theoretical basis for understanding the sustainability and shopping requirements of the selected group.
Green Roofs: Nature-Based Solution or Forced Substitute for Biologically Active Areas? A Case Study of Lublin City, Poland

Published: April 2024

Green roofs have become an increasingly popular feature in building design, driven by their bio-physical properties and aesthetic and recreational values. They serve as a key element in promoting the integration of Nature-Based Solutions (NBSs) in urban fabrics, aiming to enhance urban environments, mitigate climate impact, and create more sustainable urban spaces. Polish regulations mandate that investors maintain a designated proportion of biologically active areas, ensuring natural vegetation and rainwater retention. Green roofs fulfill this requirement and can serve as compensation for the loss of biologically active areas due to construction. Unfortunately, the regulations lack specificity regarding their construction. This study aimed to examine whether green roofs consistently represent NBSs, as frequently presented in the scientific literature, or rather serve as a legal substitute for biologically active areas. The research was conducted in Lublin, the ninth largest city in Poland. Field studies, analysis of planning documentation, and review of administrative decisions have revealed that the majority of green roofs in Lublin have a greenwashing character, meaning they were installed to meet urbanistic indicators rather than for climate, environmental, or aesthetic reasons. Such studies have not been conducted before in relation to local spatial development plans and administrative decisions in Poland, and they show that this approach does not contribute to increasing biodiversity on investment plots. Notably, the investor would be denied construction permits without the incorporation of green roofs. Consequently, this leads to the conclusion that not all green roofs fulfill the criteria of NBS, as not all ensure an increase in biodiversity. Therefore, legal provisions regarding their establishment should be revised and specified.

The Biosorption Capacity of the Marine Microalga Phaeodactylum tricornutum for the Removal of Toluidine Blue from Seawater
Authors: Fernández David , Abalde Julio , Torres Enrique
Published: April 2024

A wide variety of dyes, such as toluidine blue (TB), are used daily for a multitude of purposes. After use, many of these compounds end up in aqueous effluents, reaching natural environments, including marine environments. The removal of these pollutants from marine environments must be considered a priority problem. The search for natural techniques, such as biosorption, is a preferred option to eliminate pollution from natural environments. However, biosorption studies in seawater are scarce. For this reason, the living biomass of the marine microalga Phaeodactylum tricornutum was studied to determine its ability to remove TB from seawater. The kinetics of the biosorption process, the isotherms, and the effect of light and pH were determined. This biomass showed a maximum TB removal capacity of 45 ± 2 mg g−1 in the presence of light. Light had a positive effect on the TB removal capacity of this living biomass. The best fitting kinetics was the pseudo-second order kinetics. The efficiency of the removal process increased with increasing pH. This removal was more effective at alkaline pH values. The results demonstrated the efficacy of P. tricornutum living biomass for the efficient removal of toluidine blue dye from seawater both in the presence and absence of light.

Ovarian cancer is one of the most common cancers among women and the most lethal malignancy of all gynecological cancers. Surgery is promising in the early stages; however, most patients are first diagnosed in the advanced stages, where treatment options are limited. Here, we present a 49-year-old patient who was first diagnosed with stage III ovarian cancer. After the tumor progressed several times under guideline therapies with no more treatment options available at that time, the patient received a fully individualized neoantigen-derived peptide vaccine in the setting of an individual healing attempt. The tumor was analyzed for somatic mutations via whole exome sequencing and potential neoepitopes were vaccinated over a period of 50 months. During vaccination, the patient additionally received anti-PD-1 therapy to prevent further disease progression. Vaccine-induced T-cell responses were detected using intracellular cytokine staining. After eleven days of in vitro expansion, four T-cell activation markers (namely IFN-ɣ, TNF-α, IL-2, and CD154) were measured. The proliferation capacity of neoantigen-specific T-cells was determined using a CFSE proliferation assay. Immune monitoring revealed a very strong CD4+ T-cell response against one of the vaccinated peptides. The vaccine-induced T-cells simultaneously expressed CD154, TNF, IL-2, and IFN-ɣ and showed a strong proliferation capacity upon neoantigen stimulation. Next-generation sequencing, as well as immunohistochemical analysis, revealed a loss of Beta-2 microglobulin (B2M), which is essential for MHC class I presentation. The results presented here implicate that the application of neoantigen-derived peptide vaccines might be considered for those cancer stages, where promising therapeutic options are lacking. Furthermore, we provide more data that endorse the intensive investigation of B2M loss as a tumor escape mechanism in clinical trials using anti-cancer vaccines together with immune-checkpoint inhibitors.

Esta tesis tiene como objetivo general comprender la sociabilidad y describir la vida cotidiana a partir del análisis de los lazos sociales de las perceptoras de políticas sociales en un barrio pobre de La Plata el período 2012-2016. Las intervenciones sociales del Estado para atender las situaciones de vulnerabilidad y pobreza, los lazos sociales que tejen las mujeres en el territorio y la cotidianeidad que transcurre entre el hogar y las organizaciones del barrio forman parte de los elementos que se ponen en juego en la configuración de la sociabilidad. De aquí se desprenden los siguientes objetivos específicos: a) Analizar la implementación de las políticas sociales que han percibido las mujeres del barrio; b) Analizar las características de la sociabilidad de las perceptoras de políticas sociales en un barrio pobre de La Plata; c) Describir y analizar los lazos sociales y el capital social que se moviliza entre las perceptoras e instituciones del barrio –que forman parte de la implementación de las políticas sociales-.; d) Caracterizar la vida cotidiana de las mujeres destinatarias de políticas sociales. El trabajo de campo lo efectué en un barrio de Villa Elvira donde sus residentes se desplazan por el mercado informal y precario de trabajo cuando no se encuentran desocupados y viven en condiciones de pobreza; estas condiciones explican que resultan imprescindibles las intervenciones sociales del Estado y de los lazos sociales para sobrevivir. Las políticas sociales de las que han sido y son destinatarias las mujeres del barrio son principalmente el Plan FinEs, la Asignación Universal por Hijo y el Programa Ellas Hacen. También han sido perceptoras del Plan Familias y el Plan Jefes y Jefas de Hogar entre otros. Este estudio lo realicé desde una metodología cualitativa ya que me permitió recuperar las perspectivas y sentidos de las mujeres sobre la implementación de las políticas sociales en el barrio, los vínculos que mantienen con vecinos/as y organizaciones e instituciones del barrio y las tareas que realizan en su cotidianeidad.
Polityka pamięci „żołnierzy wyklętych”

Published: April 2024

Referring to the concept of hegemony, the article focuses on memory politics regarding the “cursed soldiers”. It analyses how and why the conservative-nationalist right wing invented the “cursed soldier” figure and elevated it to the role of a key historical symbol in its hegemonic project of remodelling Polish collective memory in keeping with its ideology. Drawing on the concept of difficult heritage, the paper argues that hegemonic memory politics presupposes the transformation of the disputed heritage of the underground into a taken-for-granted symbol of the “cursed soldiers” representing a narrowly defined “Polishness”, and expressing the emotions of national pride, resentment and martyrdom. At the same time, on the basis of qualitative research, the article examines the process of the grassroots reception of this symbol, revealing selected aspects of its difficult nature.

A Agenda 2030 possui indicadores e metas para a sustentabilidade global, contudo incompatível aos municípios. O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar a aplicabilidade de metas e indicadores de sustentabilidade local em plataformas digitais por meio de estudo de caso em Cascavel (Brasil) e Vila Nova de Gaia (Portugal), com vistas ao desenvolvimento sustentável global. Foram utilizados o método de revisão bibliográfica e o estudo de caso. Para o efeito, analisaram-se dois programas de promoção à sustentabilidade local – o Programa Cidades Sustentáveis, no Brasil, e a Plataforma ODSLocal, em Portugal. Nos portais dedicados a estes programas, foram abordados dois municípios de médio porte signatários dos programas: Cascavel, no Brasil, e Vila Nova de Gaia, em Portugal – e a partir daí, analisadas as boas práticas municipais, metas e indicadores utilizados, e foi realizada a comparação com os indicadores globais das Nações Unidas. Observou-se que nem os indicadores nem as metas cumprem escrupulosamente as orientações da ONU (pensadas, sobretudo para o nível nacional), mas se adaptam em qualidade e quantidade às dinâmicas e às especificidades locais que procuram acompanhar, num processo vulgarmente conhecido por “localização dos ODS”.

Published: April 2024

This study investigates the determinants influencing the decision of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) to apply for bank loans. Drawing upon a theoretical framework encompassing human capital, firm attributes, business strategy, and information asymmetry, we develop a model to predict SMEs' propensity to seek bank financing. Employing a quantitative methodology in Vietnam, we utilize a hypothetical-deductive testing approach on primary data collected through questionnaires focusing on loan applications. Our findings reveal several significant factors influencing SMEs' inclination towards bank loans. Contrary to expectations, the business experience of a firm's owner exhibits no significant correlation with the likelihood of applying for a bank loan. However, variables such as the educational background of the firm's owner, firm size, collateral availability, and interest rates on loans exhibit negative associations with loan application propensity. Conversely, factors including the presence of comprehensive business plans and establishment of relationships with bankers during start-up phases demonstrate positive relationships with SMEs' inclination to apply for bank loans. This study contributes to the understanding of SMEs' financing decisions and provides valuable insights for financial institutions in designing tailored lending strategies to meet the diverse needs of SMEs.

Published: April 2024

Lyme is a disease that is caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, a bacterium that is spread by ticks. The prevalence of Lyme disease has made it a major public health problem. Immediate identification of the bacteria-carrying parasites is important in preventing the epidemic. This research suggests an alternative approach which uses computer vision to identify Lyme diseases related to ticks. A dataset containing images of ticks was used to create and train a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model. Preprocessing and augmentation were done on the dataset with split data into training and testing sets prior to boosting model generalization. The architecture of the CNN consists of convolutional, batch normalization and pooling layers followed by fully connected layers for classification. The Adam optimizer trains the model with a piecewise learning rate schedule. Test set evaluation shows promising results with high accuracy in categorizing tick pictures. Furthermore, this study calculates precision, recall and F1 score metrics which indicates strong performance from this model. A confusion matrix as well as visualization is also used to prove that model can distinguish between different tick classes. This computer vision approach provides a powerful tool for automatic tick recognition thus aiding in early detection as well as prevention of Lyme disease

Lexical and Phonological Levelling in the Speech of Qassimi Arabic Speakers
Authors: Alhumaid Anfal
Published: April 2024

This study on linguistic levelling in the speech of Qassimi Arabic speakers found that there are six distinct aspects of phonological levelling present in the dialect, coupled with a plethora of examples on lexical levelling among two groups. Qassimi Arabic speakers who reside in Qassim region and have lived there their entire lives, and Qassimi Arabic speakers who have resided in different Saudi regions most of their adult lives. Findings indicate that women are more likely to engage in levelling, and those with less education, and resident in Qassim are less likely to engage in levelling. Dialect changes occurred in nearly 2 of 3 participants and were due to the mixing of cultures and growing urbanisation. The results of the study are in line with other literature indicating that speakers of Qassimi Arabic engage in spontaneous levelling of their dialect for prosocial motives, for reasons having to do with ease of use and convenience. The study made meaningful contributions in explicating the specific aspects of phonological and lexical levelling with respect to the Qassimi Arabic dialect and to the influences of variables such as gender, age, gender, and region.

Published: April 2024

The review presents the results of the development of durum wheat production and breeding in Canada. In the historical context, the most popular varieties are shown, their characteristics according to the main economic characteristics are given. The approaches used during the period of scientific breeding, since 1928 – the year of the beginning of the breeding improvement of durum wheat in Canada, are given. The main objectives of breeding after the registration of the first Stewart 63 variety in 1963 were: improvement of yield characteristics, resistance to diseases and germination at the root, concentration and quality of protein, grinding indicators (yield of semolina), color of grain, semolina and pasta. Gradually, starting from the end of the 60s, the priority direction are the traits of quality. In the 70s, the Wascana and Wakooma varieties became widespread, which, along with the yield advantages, surpassed the existing varieties in terms of gluten quality - they carried the 45 component of Y-gliadin. For the next 15 years (1985-2000), the Kyle variety dominated, similar in gluten strength to Wakooma, but with a higher content of yellow pigment and better agronomic properties. Then, from 1997 to 2004, varieties were registered that were improved in the content of yellow pigments (AC Avonlea), the quality of gluten (AC Navigator), the quality of gluten and the ability to accumulate a small amount of cadmium (Strongfield), the content of yellow pigments and very significantly in the quality of gluten (Commander). Currently, the quality traits, the accumulation of cadmium in grain are strictly controlled when registering new varieties. From 2010 to 2018, 22 new varieties were registered. Research is underway aimed at introducing modern methods of marker and genomic selection. High-performance methods of phenotyping physiological traits are being developed for their genotyping and application in the study of source and breeding material.

The purpose of the research is to improve the methods of cultivation of spring soft wheat when using micro–fertilizing mixtures of Megamix in the pre-sowing preparation of seeds and processing of crops during the growing season. The techniques that increase the productivity of spring soft wheat when using modern micro-fertilizing mixtures in the conditions of the forest-steppe of the Middle Volga region in 2017-2020 are shown. The assessment of the main bio-metric indicators is demonstrated: photosynthetic activity, yield and technological qualities of spring wheat grain under different seed treatments and foliar top dressing with liquid mineral fertilizers Megamix at different levels of mineral nutrition. The highest indicators were noted in the variants with the treatment of the sowing material with Megamix Seeds or Megamix Pro preparations, followed by two-fold work on the vegetation in the tillering phase with Megamix Pro preparations + Megamis Nitrogen in the phase of the flag sheet. The highest rates were achieved against the background of N16P16K16 fertilization. Spring soft wheat crops form a leaf apparatus with a photosynthetic potential of up to 0.993 million m2/ha•day. and the net productivity of photo-synthesis is 6.33...8.07 g/m2 •day. There is an increased safety of plants for harvesting during fertilization and seed treatment, as well as during the processing of vegetation with micro-fertilizer mixtures. The greatest safety (73.8 and 73.7%, respectively) is observed when applying N16P16K16 fertilizers and double treatment with liquid mineral fertilizers during the growing season, Megamix Pro in the tillering phase and Megamix Nitrogen in the flag leaf phase and against the background of pre-sowing treatment of Megamix Seeds and Mega Mix. Studies conducted at the experimental field of the Samara State Agricultural University in 2017-2020 found that the yield level of spring soft wheat with the use of liquid mineral fertilizers reaches 3.15 t/ha.

Qualitative and operational analysis-control of viability and germination of seeds of agricultural crops is an urgent problem of crop production. Various chemical and physical control methods and technical means are used to solve this problem. The purpose of the work is to analyze methods for monitoring the viability and germination of grain in different varieties of soybeans. Viability and germination were evaluated in 5 soybean varieties: Samer 3, Samer1, Yuzhanka, VNIIOZ and the promising D-150 line. Determination of viability by the tetrazole method showed that in the Yuzhanka and VNIIOZ varieties, the embryo is 96% alive. Also, these varieties have high results in laboratory germination of 94-95% and in the swelling method of 81-85%. The lowest results in the viability of the embryo and germination of seeds in the Samer1 variety and is 92%.
Implementation of calculations of normal sections of reinforced concrete structures in software packages
Authors: Krakovsky Mikhail B. , Tikhonov Igor N.
Published: April 2024

Introduction. In previous publications, the authors examined the features of calculating the strength of normal sections of reinforced concrete structures associated with the possibility of using two approaches – the nonlinear deformation model (NDM) and the method of limiting forces (MLF). Using specific examples, the results obtained with both approaches are compared. Cases of significant discrepancies in the consumption of selected reinforcement have been identified, trends have been explained, and the physical essence of the phenomenon has been analyzed. Calculations were performed according to the OM SNiP Reinforced Concrete program.

Aim. To analyze the implementation of features when using various computer programs for calculations of reinforced concrete structures, identify differences in results, establish their physical cause, evaluate economic aspects and problems, and make the necessary recommendations.

Materials and methods. The studies were performed for three types of structures. The first type included four sections of elements under two stress states: off-center compression (rectangular and annular) and oblique offcenter compression (rectangular and I-beam). The second type of structures included columns and pylons of a projected and constructed reinforced concrete building. The third type was an illustrative example – the T-section of the bent element at different operating moments and percentages of reinforcement. Calculations of the first type of structures were carried out by the authors by the OM SNiP Reinforced Concrete program, as well as the program developers of the Ing+, Arbat, Lira-SAPR, Lira 10, STARK ES programs. The calculation of structures of the second type was carried out by the authors by the OM SNiP Reinforced Concrete program and the designers by the Lira-SAPR 2022 program. The test example was calculated by the authors according to the OM SNiP Reinforced Concrete program.

Results. When calculating according to the NDM, a significant unjustified overspending of the required reinforcement was revealed compared to the calculation according to the MLF. In an illustrative example, the overspend is 220 %.

Conclusions. The general state of calculations of reinforced concrete structures should be recognized as requiring adjustments. To obtain a multibillion-dollar economic effect, it is proposed to provide in SP 63.13330.2018 two equal approaches to the calculation of normal sections of reinforced concrete structures - NDM and MLF.

Abdominal wall hernia repair is one of the most common operations performed by modern surgeons. The management of patients with PVH can be extremely challenging due to a number of factors including obesity, prior hernia repair, previous mesh placement, and other variables. The management of patients with PVH has changed significantly over the past 20 years due to both technological advances and improvements in surgical approaches.Key factors in successful outcome include modification of preoperative risk factors such as smoking cessation and weight loss, selection of mesh appropriate for the type of hernia and planned mesh placement, and wide mesh overlap beyond the edges of the hernia defect.In these patients, new techniques such as transabdominal release and separation of componento.
THE IMPORTANCE OF NOTARIAL ACTIVITY IN PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS AND LEGAL ENTITIES
Authors:   Teacher of the Academic Lyceum at the Tashkent State University of Law, Uzbekistan, Mirzajanovna Karimova Madina
Published: April 2024

This scientific article analyzes the importance of notarial activity in protecting the rights of individuals and legal entities, and separately highlights the features of the use of blockchain technology in the work of notaries, which is a promising direction for improving notarial activity and practice. The relevance of the study lies in the fact that the issues of digitalization and the use of blockchain technologies in notarial practice are currently poorly studied, which leads to increased interest in these issues. Constant scientific developments in this direction allow notaries to enrich their knowledge, develop skills and competencies, which is the basis for improving the quality and professionalism in the provision of notarial services. The purpose of the scientific article is the need to consider the aspects and features of notarial activity, and determine its impact on the protection of the rights and interests of various subjects of civil legal relations. The research methodology in a scientific article consists of using such methods of cognition as the dialectical method, analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, generalization, modeling, forecasting. The results of the study are developed scientific and theoretical proposals on improving notarial activities, taking into account the use of digital technologies. Specifically, notarial actions were highlighted aimed at protecting the rights of individuals and legal entities for whom contacting a notary is a constant necessity. The obvious conclusion was that the study of notarial activities contributes to the search for new methods, technologies and approaches that can improve processes in this area, simplify procedures and increase the level of confidence in notarial acts.
A Subsolar Metallicity on the Ultra-short-period Planet HIP 65Ab

Studying and understanding the physical and chemical processes that govern hot Jupiters gives us insights on the formation of these giant planets. Having a constraint on the molecular composition of their atmosphere can help us pinpoint their evolution timeline. Namely, the metal enrichment and carbon-to-oxygen ratio can give us information about where in the protoplanetary disk a giant planet may have accreted its envelope, and, subsequently, indicate if it went through migration. Here we present the first analysis of the atmosphere of the hot Jupiter HIP 65Ab. Using near-infrared high-resolution observations from the IGRINS spectrograph, we detect H2O and CO absorption in the dayside atmosphere of HIP 65Ab. Using a high-resolution retrieval framework, we find a CO abundance of log(CO) =

, which is slightly underabundant with expectation from solar composition models. We also recover a low-water abundance of log(H2O) = −4.42 ± 0.18, depleted by 1 order of magnitude relative to a solar-like composition. Upper limits on the abundance of all other relevant major carbon- and oxygen-bearing molecules are also obtained. Overall, our results are consistent with a sub-stellar metallicity but slightly elevated C/O. Such a composition may indicate that HIP 65Ab accreted its envelope from beyond the water snowline and underwent a disk-free migration to its current location. Alternatively, some of the oxygen on HIP 65Ab could be condensed out of the atmosphere, in which case the observed gas-phase abundances would not reflect the true bulk envelope composition.
