Ihmetyksen, empatian ja eläytymisen liikkeitä
Authors: Vauhkonen Jenni
Published: November 2022

Artikkeli käsittelee kasvitaiteen kohtaamisia, joissa avautuu uudenlaisia, tuntuvia inhimillisen ja ei-inhimillisen maailman yhteenkietoutumia. Kohtaamisissa perehdytään elävien kasvien toimintaan osana teoksia ja sen kautta taiteen mahdollisuuksiin vaikuttaa katsojiinsa sekä haastaa ihmiskeskeistä maailmankuvaa. Artikkelissa perehdytään siis kasvitaiteen muutosvoimaan, toisin sanoen sen vaikuttavaan voimaan. Kohdattavia teoksia on kaksi. Raimo Saarisen teos Marttyyrit (2019) tuo galleriatilaan eläviä tulppaaneja, joiden kasvua rajoitetaan metallisin kahlein. Kieroon kasvavat ja elämästään taistelevat kasvit vetoavat katsojan tunteisiin ja empatiaan. Jonna Suurhaskon BIOS4 (2021) läpäisee taidehallin näyttelytilat ja paljastaa ilmastointiputken sisällä kasvavan viheryhteisön, joka kutsuu pohtimaan uudelleen omaa erillisyyttä muista elävistä organismeista. Artikkelin teoreettiset lähtökohdat ovat fenomenologiassa, posthumanismissa ja uusmaterialistisessa taiteentutkimuksessa. Tekstissä hahmotellaan myös kasvitaiteen kohtaamisiin soveltuvaa metodologiaa muun muassa Michael Marderin kasviajattelun ja Jane Bennettin eloisan materian käsitteen avulla.

Organizational and legal aspects of examination of cross-border bankruptcy cases with multiple proceedings
Authors: Panchenko V.
Published: November 2022

The article conducts a scientific and practical study of organizational and legal aspects regarding the use of internationally recognized mechanisms in the field of cross-border bankruptcies when considering cases in court, the legal certainty of some categories in the field of cross-border bankruptcy with multiple proceedings through a legislative and doctrinal prism. International judicial practice has been studied and it has been determined that in order to resolve problematic issues regarding the coordination of bankruptcy procedures in the consideration of cross-border bankruptcy cases with multiple proceedings, cross-border protocols are used as a way to increase the effectiveness of cooperation in the field of insolvency. It has been proven that the practical application of the principle of reciprocity, the legal institution of court cooperation, the use of cross-border protocols in cross-border bankruptcy cases with multiple proceedings are quite uncertain in Ukraine, unlike internationally. It is asserted that the institution of cross-border bankruptcy with multiple proceedings in Ukraine needs the fastest possible organizational and legal response regarding regulatory support and legal certainty of the studied categories and conceptual apparatus in this area, their effective implementation in judicial practice. The legislation in the field of insolvency and bankruptcy procedures with the participation of a foreign element is analyzed for the proper legal certainty of the outlined conceptual apparatus in practice and the possibility of improving national legislation in the field of cross-border bankruptcies. It was noted that Ukraine needs to improve both the legislation on cross-border bankruptcies and the legal system as a whole, taking into account international aspects of legal development. It was concluded that judicial practice is the basis for proper cooperation in the way of implementing the principle of reciprocity, relying not only on the formality of application, but also on the effectiveness of filling meaningful action plans for the implementation of such cooperation, including using cross-border protocols.
The influence of precedent practice of the European Court of Human Rights on the civil justice of Ukraine
Authors: Rohach O. , Fennych V.
Published: November 2022

This article examines the influence of the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights on the development of the civil procedural law of Ukraine and the practice of applying its norms by domestic courts. The concept and essence of the precedent nature of decisions (decisions) of the European Court of Human Rights, their place in the system of so-called "judicial sources" of civil procedural law are defined. The shortcomings of the Law of Ukraine "On the implementation of decisions and application of the practice of the European Court of Human Rights" are indicated, which recognizes the practice of the European Court of Human Rights as a source of law and the position of domestic courts regarding this deficiency.

It is noted that the source of law according to the Law of Ukraine "On the Execution of Decisions and Application of the Practice of the European Court of Human Rights" is also the practice of the European Commission on Human Rights and its role in the procedure for considering complaints about violations of the Convention is determined.

The directions of the influence of the practice of the European Court of Human Rights on civil proceedings are outlined, where it is concluded that a precedent can be formed on any procedural issue due to the dynamic interpretation by the specified court of the provisions of the Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms of 1950 and its protocols . It is noted that the practice of the European Court of Human Rights generally constructs legal ideas regarding the principles of civil procedure and the right to a fair trial. On the example of a separate decision of the European Court of Human Rights, the law enforcement and regulatory influence on the results of consideration and resolution of a civil case and the development of the civil procedural law of Ukraine, respectively, are analyzed. The importance of the practice of the European Court of Human Rights for the civil justice of Ukraine is summarized. In particular, taking into account the precedent practice of the ECtHR during the consideration and resolution of civil cases will eliminate the factors that serve as the reason for the appeal to the Court and will introduce European standards of protection of human rights and freedoms into Ukrainian civil proceedings. As a result, the impact of the decisions of the ECtHR will reduce the need to appeal to an international judicial institution in search of just satisfaction, which will accelerate the protection of the rights and freedoms of the parties to a civil case within the framework of national judicial jurisdiction.
The genesis of the European Parliament and its transformation to supra statehood
Authors: Hrebeniuk D.
Published: November 2022

The article examines the European Union as a unique association of European countries, which was created as an organizational form for political, economic and social cooperation between member countries, candidates for membership and partner countries that are not part of the union. The European Union symbolizes the diversity of nations and European cultures and aims to achieve peace and prosperity. Independent countries united for the sake of a common goal and sacrificed part of their sovereignty in order to become economically stronger, so it is not surprising that the official motto of the union is "unity in diversity".

The article pays special attention to the nature of the European Union, because de facto it is an international entity, it combines such features as supra-statehood and inter-statehood, but de jure it is neither one nor the other. The structure of the European Union includes institutions whose tasks are to realize the goals of this union, to serve its interests and the interests of its citizens, as well as to ensure the consistency and effectiveness of its policies. At the beginning of its creation, the European Union consisted of six countries and had a completely different name, namely the European Coal and Steel Association. Gradually, the subjects of this entity are deepening economic integration and creating a single market, we can also see that successively, partial management functions are moving to the supranational level and the number of future participants of the union is increasing. The evolution of the union takes place for the sake of economic development, through the opening of markets, which leads to an increase in production and, as a result, new working cities are created. With an increase in imports, competition increases and prices decrease and the quality of goods increases [1, р. 1].

This scientific work examines the formation of the legislative institution of the European Union, analyzes the cooperation of the European Parliament with other leading institutions, and also examines the regulatory and legal framework that influenced the transformation and reveals the nature of the European Parliament.

Published: November 2022

An important advantage for applying the right amount of water to the fields is provided by the effective irrigation management techniques based on soil moisture monitoring. With a calibrated and exact resolution of 0.03m3/m3 and 36 mV, the developed MPF5 moisture meter monitors soil moisture from a depth of 10 cm to 80 cm using a set of sensors, transducers, capacitors, resistors, and variable micro-switch. The response monitoring system compares the soil moisture to the user-specified target values and generates an alert if the soil moisture falls below the required level for particular crops. There were many similarities between the instrument's output and that of other automated soil moisture meters like the REOTEMP-MM17 moisture meter and the PR2 capacitance moisture meter. The device works very well for both mineral and organic soils to monitor soil moisture for reliable irrigation scheduling.
The influence of the change of the longitudinal modulus of elasticity on the dynamic behavior of a Warren truss
Authors: PRAISACH Zeno-Iosif , PÎRȘAN Dan Alexandru
Published: November 2022

Trusses are commonly used structures and they are present in the most constructions because it use a small amount of material and for the loads they can support. The paper presents the dynamic behavior of a Warren truss with seven elements when for one member of the truss the modulus of elasticity is much different compared to the other elements. The relative frequency shift for the first seven vibration mode are calculated taking into consideration that the slenderness ratio has a constant value and the transverse section of the elements is changed. The conclusions reveal that by maintaining the constant value of a slenderness ratio, the relative frequency shift is not modified for the considered transverse sections of the elements of the Warren truss.
Analysis of the energy security of the Republic of Moldova in the context of accesion and integration to the European Union

Published: November 2022

Energy security, which is defined by the availability at all times of energy in all its forms, in sufficient quantities and at affordable prices, without unacceptable or irreversible environmental impact, must be the central pillar of the strategic analysis of the national security of the Republic of Moldova, in the context of accession and integration to the European Union. Easy access to energy resources is an essential condition for the security and well-being of Moldovan individuals, businesses and communities. Given the status of the Republic of Moldova as an acceding state to the European Union, which is at the forefront of defense of the entire Euro-Atlantic space against the offensive of the hostile interests of the Russian Federation, the region has become the hottest geopolitical, geoeconomic and geostrategic space for direct confrontation of the interests of the West and East, with a huge potential for escalation to a military conflict. Against this background, the preferred means of threat of the Russian Federation proves to be the energy weapon, used both for the promotion of major economic interests, as well as as as an instrument of influence and political blackmail. Therefore, energy is no longer only a factor of the equation of economic power of the Moldovan state, but also an element of political influence and control, with reflections in the military capabilities. The authors want to analyze the state of energy security regarding the state of energy resources and electricity.
BETWEEN THE LIGHTNESS OF BEING AND THE WEIGHT OF BECOMING
Authors: FLOREA Marius
Published: November 2022

One of the few direct solutions that Nietzsche gives for the overcoming of nihilism is the facing of the thought of eternal recurrence. Being the heaviest of all thoughts, it may seem that through Heidegger’s filter it will become a sort of metaphysical concept, but his analysis may at least help us see it as an axis around which thought can pivot, at least for a moment. Kundera sees the contradiction between lightness and weight as the most problematic of all, as it is difficult to see the burden as something positive when emancipation seems to always be an attempt to achieve total freedom, a search for lightness. We argue that the heavy thought makes us confront fatalism and affirm freedom, while lightness makes freedom by becoming impossible. The eternal recurrence is the idea that offers motivation to intervene in the chain of determinations and to influence them decisively.
Re-examination of religion, philosophy and art in contemporary China's oil paintings
Authors: Xiaomin Xiang
Published: November 2022

Up to now, China's painting has not completely shaken off the influence of the spirit of European philosophy or a fundamental change in the way of viewing. The spirit of the unity of subject and object in ancient China philosophy influenced the formation and development of China's paintings. Since China Art Institute introduced figurative expressionism, a new art, into the contemporary art education system of China, it has shown its unique value in professional theory and practical skills. It not only provides new opportunities for reforming contemporary art education in China but also adds a new development direction for contemporary oil painting art in China. This article attempts to reveal the existence and artistic concept of violence in contemporary Chinese oil painting through the description and analysis of painting images and artists' emotional expression, combined with interviews with artists. Based on the development of contemporary Chinese society, the rise of new literary and artistic trends, and the influence of western painting, this paper analyses the historical causes of violence in contemporary Chinese oil painting, and examines the value of contemporary Chinese oil painting in terms of aesthetics and sociology. Therefore, establishing cultural core values is still the indispensable spiritual power of contemporary artists' artistic creation.
Using the heat of deaerator flash steam for additional heating of return system water in boiler installations
Authors: Pazushkina O. V. , Zolin M. V. , Morozov D. S.
Published: November 2022

Reliable and economical operation of the equipment of thermal heat supply systems and boiler installations is an important and challenging task. High-quality water treatment directly affects the efficiency of boiler installations. The main stages of water treatment at thermal power plants are pretreatment, desalination and thermal deaeration — removal of aggressive gases that lead to corrosion of equipment. Currently, there are a significant number of manufacturing enterprises that are equipped with their own boiler plants. In boiler houses used for steam generation, as well as heating boilers serving heating system, water deaeration is a mandatory process. The article is dedicated to the development of a technology to make the boiler installations more economical and efficient due to additional heating of the return system water with deaerator flash steam. In this paper, the process of water deaeration is considered on the example of the boiler room of the AB InBev Efes brewery in Ulyanovsk, where the heating station is equipped with automation systems, and the regulation of steam supply for heating is carried out automatically depending on the temperature of the return system water. Due to the designed arrangement and depending on the amount of flash steam of the atmospheric deaerator, the return water of the heating system can be heated by 3 - 10°C. Besides, during periods of warm winters at the Ulyanovsk-based brewery of AB InBev Efes, with minimal loads of the boiler plant, heating of the return system water in the heat exchanger with the flash steam of the atmospheric deaerator may be used as the main or additional stage of heating.

Surgery site infection is one of the most common postoperative complications which is associated with increased morbidity, mortality and admission costs. It is considered a priority to determine the level of nosocomial infection and its control in reflecting the quality of care. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the microbial contamination after cardiac surgery at a hospital cardiac surgery ward of Besat Hospital, Tehran.

In this cross-sectional descriptive-analytic study (2013-2017), 610 patients underwent surgery at the Department of Cardiac Surgery of Besat Hospital. All necessary information such as urine culture, surgical site, histopathologic examination for the diagnosis of microbial contamination and microorganisms were collected from the patient records and inserted in the questionnaire. The data were analyzed using SPSS (version 25).

The incidence of nosocomial infections following cardiac surgery reportedly ranged from 17% to 23%. Accordingly, pneumonia (51.2%) and local infections (22%) were the most common infections in the studied population. The mortality rate in our population was 11.4%. Moreover, 64.3% of the total mortality cases were reported in patients with sepsis. The mean age and duration of admission of patients with catheter infection were significantly higher than other subjects.

Given the relatively high prevalence of the infection and its importance, it is necessary to take more serious measures to prevent and control these infections.

In this study, the leukemia microarray gene data, contenting 22283 genes, was extracted from the Gene Expression Omnibus repository. Initial preprocessing was applied by using a normalization test and principal component analysis in Python. Then DNNs neural network designed and implemented to the data and finally results cross-validated by classifiers.

The normalization test was significant (P>0.05) and the results show the PCA gene segregation potential and independence of cancer and healthy cells. The results accuracy for single-layer neural network and DNNs deep learning network with three hidden layers are 63.33 and 96.67, respectively.

Using new methods such as deep learning can improve diagnosis accuracy and performance compared to the old methods. It is recommended to use these methods in cancer diagnosis and effective gene selection in various types of cancer.

In surgical practice, surgeons request CT scans to rule out acute appendicitis, even in young patients. We aimed to assess the feasibility of using a CT scan to reduce the rate of negative laparoscopies in patients younger than 40 with equivocal signs of acute appendicitis.

Therefore, we conducted a retrospective observational study on the patients admitted with a provisional diagnosis of acute appendicitis. Patients younger than 40 and with the Alvarado score between 3 and 6 were included. These were divided into two groups: those who had or did not have a CT scan. Each group was further subdivided into patients that had a laparoscopy and those that did not.

Out of 204 patients included in the study, 16% were included in the CT group, and 84% in the non-CT group. 71.9% of the patients that underwent a CT scan had appendicitis and underwent an appendectomy. Five patients with a normal CT scan had appendectomy due to persistent signs of acute appendicitis. The histopathology of the 23 patients with positive CT was positive, and 3 of the 5 patients with negative CT that underwent appendectomy had positive histology results. The negative appendectomy rate for patients that had preoperative CT is 7.14% compared to 32.4% in patients without preoperative CT.

The rate of negative laparoscopy in patients younger than 40 years old that undergo preoperative CT is significantly lower with a p-value of .00667.

Treatment with anticancer drugs such as cyclophosphamide can harm the male reproductive system. Vitamin C and zinc are micronutrients with antioxidant activity and are the essential components of semen. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate whether cyclophosphamide-exposed mice can recover from fertility with vitamin C and zinc therapy.

In this experimental study, fifty male mice were divided into five groups. Groups 1-4 received cyclophosphamide (100 mg/kg, once a week for eight weeks). Also, group 2 received zinc (200 mg/kg), group 3 received vitamin C (300 mg/kg), group 4 received zinc and vitamin C (200 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg, respectively), five times per week for eight weeks, and group 5 received normal saline once a week and water five days a week for eight weeks. The data collected were statistically analyzed using SPSS 22.

Results showed a significant increase in mount latency and a significant decrease in the number of sperms in the cyclophosphamide group compared to the control group. However, mount latency has been significantly decreased in mice treated with cyclophosphamide plus zinc compared to the cyclophosphamide group. The study also showed that the sperm count in the group that received cyclophosphamide and zinc had been increased compared to the cyclophosphamide group; the other treatments have decreased mount latency and increased the sperm count compared to the group treated with cyclophosphamide but not significantly. The Tubule Differentiation Index showed an increase in the cyclophosphamide-Zinc-Vitamin C group in comparison with the cyclophosphamide group.

The current study showed that zinc could improve cyclophosphamide-induced toxicity of the reproductive system in male mice.

Abuse of legal substances in India includes alcohol and tobacco, which are the major risk factors for various non-communicable diseases and deaths. The current pandemic has identified tobacco consumption as a risk factor for COVID-19, highlighting the need to control substance abuse. The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence of substance abuse in India and discuss the cost-effective public health strategies (such as yoga) to alleviate COVID-related anxiety in order to prevent substance abuse and its associated co-morbidities such as type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study reports the data on tobacco and alcohol abuse from a nationwide randomized two-arm diabetes control trial (Niyantrita Madhumeha Bharata, 2017) conducted by the Indian Yoga Association (IYA) through Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana (S-VYASA), Bengaluru. Data of 30,354 participants who abuse tobacco and 30,159 participants who abuse alcohol were collected all over India. The prevalence is estimated at around 8.7% for alcohol abuse and 7.9% for tobacco abuse, Arunachal Pradesh state ranking the highest regarding both alcohol and tobacco abuse, while the Tripura state ranked the lowest. School and college-based mandatory yoga programs need to be implemented to prevent the increase of substance abuse in India to alleviate the psychosocial stress of adolescents and college-going students, besides the installation of the mindfulness-based diabetes yoga protocol (DYP) in the wellness centers of Ayushman Bharat.

Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α plays an important role in inflammatory, infectious, and tumor processes, and it is closely related to the early stages of gastric cancer. It is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, produced not only by macrophages and monocytes but also by the lymphocytes, mast cells, neutrophils, keratinocytes, smooth muscle cells, and some tumor cell lines. Large amounts of TNF are released upon contact of macrophages, CD4 + T lymphocytes, and natural killer (NK) cells with lipopolysaccharides, bacterial products, and interleukin 1. TNF-alpha inducing protein (Tipa) is a unique carcinogenic factor of Helicobacter pylori, secreted into culture broth. The biological activities of TNF alpha and deletion mutant were studied. TNF alpha protein specifically binds to cell-surface nucleolin and then enters the gastric cancer cells, where TNF-a and chemokine gene expressions are induced by NF-jB activation. Nucleolin localizes on the surface of gastric cancer cells, and interaction between TNF alpha and cell-surface nucleolin causes a cancer-oriented microenvironment that increases the risk of gastric cancer. This paper discusses a mechanism of gastric cancer development and the clinical significance of tumor necrosis-alpha and carcinoembryonic antigen in gastric cancer.
