A boatbuilder’s approach to boat documentation
Authors: Leijonhufvud Fredrik
Published: September 2022

Documentation of historical objects is already included in established research areas, such as archaeology and conservation. From a craft perspective, studies of objects can contribute to the understanding and revitalization of broken craft traditions. In this article, I present a methodological approach for the documentation of craft objects, including a comparison of traditional analogue methods and modern digital photogrammetry. From a boatbuilder’s perspective, I document traditional boats. In my current Ph.D. project, I investigate how documentation of objects, from a craftsperson’s perspective, can be used to reconstruct craft processes. The case study is on the ‘Öka’ from the Stockholm archipelago, a local variation of the Nordic clinker boat tradition. In this article, I present the basic structure of my boat documentation work and pinpoint some specific examples of the use of digital methods, analogue measuring and documentation led by craft practice. A good practice of documentation needs to consider the advantages and shortcomings of analogue as well as digital methods and also integrate the craftsperson’s perspective. Even if the craftsperson-researcher is skilled, artefacts have limitations as sources of craft knowledge, which must be taken into account in the interpretation process. An awareness of one’s own traditions and prejudices is needed to interpret a boat built in an older tradition. The documentation should be guided by craft practice, deliberately focusing on questions that reconstruction work generates.

Published: September 2022

The geometrical accuracy of injection-molded gears made of PA6, PA66 and PPA filled with glass fiber (30, 35 and 50%) were investigated. Using the AMI software, the injection mold cavity and the injection point distribution were simulated and the orientation of the glass fibers in the product was determined. The low accuracy class of injection-molded gears may indicate the need to optimize the injection process, which will be the subject of further research.
Bringing research alive through stories: reflecting on research storytelling as a public engagement method
Authors: Krauss Judith E. , Mani Suma , Cromwell Jonas , San Roman Pineda Itzel , Cleaver Frances
Published: September 2022

Stories are vital in making sense of our lives – and research. Consequently, 12 researchers from the University of Sheffield underwent a three-month training process from September to November 2019 to learn how to shape their research experiences into accessible, ten-minute, spoken stories. This culminated in a storytelling evening as part of the Economic and Social Research Council’s Festival of Social Science, at which researchers from different disciplines discussed various nature–society dynamics in diverse field sites in the Global South. By reflecting on the training process and the performance through qualitative interviews with storytellers and audience members, our study answers the research question: What lessons emerge from an interdisciplinary group of researchers engaging with research storytelling for public engagement? Our study addresses gaps in the literature by focusing on interdisciplinary research storytelling, spoken ten-minute stories, bringing together storytellers’ and audience’s viewpoints, and providing practical recommendations for researchers and practitioners. We argue that research storytelling can have diverse benefits for both researchers and listeners by promoting learning in an accessible format, boosting self-confidence and helping (un/re)learn scholarly communication. However, professional guidance and peer support, as well as ethical sensitivity, are crucial.

Published: September 2022

The rough surface of metal parts produced by the powder-based layered Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology such as Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is an important problem that needs to be solved. This study introduces obvious improvements in the surface quality of the AM parts by means of ultrasonic abrasive polishing (UAP), which uses cavitation collapse and micro-cut of abrasive particles for finishing surfaces. Experiments were conducted using the orthogonal experimental design method with an L_9(3^4) orthogonal array to investigate the effects of ultrasonic power, machining time, abrasive particle size, and particle concentration on surface roughness Ra and material removal rate (MRR). The wear of the abrasive particles in the slurry was also studied. IN625 nickel-based alloy specimen manufactured by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) was chosen as the target workpiece. The results show that when the ultrasonic output power was too high, both surface quality and machining efficiency were deteriorated. And the surface roughness Ra was not further improved by just increasing the machining time. Severe cavitation erosion occurred in the polishing process and created leftover pits on the workpiece surface, which has a large influence on Ra. The size and amount of the abrasive particles should be within a certain range, which is helpful for material removal and improving the polishing performance. The work is useful for studying the influential process parameters involved in UAP and finding out the appropriate conditions.

Published: September 2022

Biodegradable polymers have become important in different fields of application, where biodegradability and biocompatibility are required. Herein, the melt spinning of biodegradable polymers including poly(lactic acid), poly(butylene succinate), polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA), poly(ɛ-caprolactone) and their biocomposites is critically reviewed. Biodegradable polymer fibers with added functionalities are in high demand for various applications, including biomedical, textiles, and others. Melt spinning is a suitable technique for the development of biodegradable polymer fibers in a large-scale quantity, and fibers with a high surface area can be obtained with this technique. The processing variables during spinning have a considerable impact on the resulting properties of the fibers. Therefore, in this review, the processing-property relationship in biodegradable polymers, blends, and their composites is provided. The morphological characteristics, load-bearing properties, and the potential application of melt-spun biodegradable fibers in various sectors are also provided.

Published: September 2022

Knowledge of underlying genetic causes of developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE) in adults is still limited when compared to the routine diagnostic approach in similarly affected children.

A well-documented longitudinal study of adults with DEE is of utmost importance to understand the natural history of the respective entity. This information is of great value especially for genetic counselling of newly diagnosed children with identical genetic diagnoses and may impact treatment and management of affected individuals.

In our meta-analysis we provide an overview of the most recurrent genetic findings across an adult DEE cohort (

n

n=1,020

). The gene mostly associated with a pathogenic or likely pathogenic variant in adult DEE is SCN1A, followed by MECP2 and CHD2. Studies employing exome sequencing and calling of both single nucleotide variants and copy number variants are associated with diagnostic yields of almost 50 %.

Finally, we highlight three remarkable cases, each representing the oldest individual ever published with their genetic diagnosis, i. e., Angelman syndrome, Miller–Dieker syndrome, and CAMK2A-related disorder, and describe lessons learned from each of these adults.

Published: September 2022

The land is one of the determining factors for sustainable agriculture. However, attention to the protection of agricultural land in economic development has not fully sided with the interests of agricultural development in the long term. The conversion of agricultural land because of the growth of the industrial and service sectors has displaced agricultural land, making this a serious problem for the existence and sustainability of agriculture. This study aims to analyze the willingness of farmers to maintain sustainable food agricultural land (SFAL) in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. This study can contribute thoughts in the formulation of sustainable agricultural development policies. The survey was conducted on rice farmers at 25 observation points from eight irrigation source rivers spread across the Special Region of Yogyakarta. A total of 125 rice farmers were taken at simple random as the sample of this study. The determinants of farmers’ willingness were analyzed using binomial logistic regression. The results of the analysis show that education, the distance to irrigation sources, rural areas, farm income, and access to credit are factors that influence the willingness of farmers to maintain SFAL, especially rice plants. Therefore, it is important for farmers to maintain sustainable food fields through various programs such as extension, farming credit, production price incentives, and the provision of good irrigation facilities.
Militarization and Income Inequality in European Countries (2000–2017)
Authors: Caruso Raul , Antonella Biscione
Published: September 2022

This paper investigates the impact of militarization on income inequality. The analysis is conducted on a panel of 40 European countries over the period 2000–2017. The degree of militarization of a country is captured by means of the Global Militarization Index (GMI) and we employ the Gini index as a measure of inequality. The main findings show that militarization and inequality are positively associated. The findings appear to be robust. We also consider control variables related to military commitment, namely (i) conscription; (ii) NATO membership; (iii) involvement in an armed conflict. Interestingly conscription appears to be negatively associated with income inequality whereas an armed conflict and NATO membership show the opposite sign. For sake of robustness, we undertake the same estimations on alternative samples of countries and results are confirmed. Eventually, to deal with the issue of endogeneity, we apply the Lewbel, IV–GMM approach and results are confirmed.
Real scenario of metal ion sensor: is conjugated polymer helpful to detect hazardous metal ion
Authors: Umabharathi Pushparani Selvakumar , Karpagam Subramanian
Published: September 2022

Metal ions from natural and anthropogenic sources cause pollution to society and the environment is major concern in the present scenario. The deposition and contamination of metal ions in soil and water affect the biogeochemical cycles. Thus, it threatens the everyday life of living and non-living organisms. Reviews on the detection of metal ions through several techniques (Analytical methods, electrochemical techniques, and sensors) and materials (Nanoparticles, carbon dots (quantum dots), polymers, chiral molecules, metal-organic framework, carbon nanotubes, etc.) are addressed separately in the present literature. This review reveals the advantages and disadvantages of the techniques and materials for metal ion sensing with crucial factors. Furthermore, it focus on the capability of conjugated polymers (CPs) as metal ion sensors able to detect/sense hazardous metal ions from environmental samples. Six different routes can synthesize this type of CPs to get specific properties and better metal ion detecting capability in vast research areas. The metal ion detection by CP is time-independent, simple, and low cost compared to other materials/techniques. This review outlines recent literature on the conjugated polymer for cation, anion, and dual ion sensors. Over the last half decades published articles on the conjugated polymer are discussed and compared.

Increased risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease fibrosis is closely associated with osteoporosis in women but not in men with type 2 diabetes
Authors: Yu Zhiyan , Wu Yueyue , Zhang Rui , Li Yue , Zang Shufei , Liu Jun
Published: September 2022

Background

This study aimed to investigate the association of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and liver fibrosis with osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and men over 50 years of age with type 2 diabetes (T2DM).

Methods

In this study, 1243 patients with T2DM (T2DM with coexistent NAFLD, n  = 760; T2DM with no NAFLD, n  = 483) were analysed. Non-invasive markers, NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS) and fibrosis index based on four factors (FIB-4), were applied to evaluate NAFLD fibrosis risk.

Results

There was no significant difference in bone mineral density (BMD) between the NAFLD group and the non-NAFLD group or between males and females after adjusting for age, BMI and gender. In postmenopausal women, there was an increased risk of osteoporosis (odds ratio (OR): 4.41, 95% CI: 1.04–18.70, P = 0.039) in the FIB-4 high risk group compared to the low risk group. Similarly, in women with high risk NFS, there was an increased risk of osteoporosis (OR: 5.98, 95% CI: 1.40–25.60, P = 0.043) compared to the low risk group. Among men over 50 years old, there was no significant difference in bone mineral density between the NAFLD group and the non-NAFLD group and no significant difference between bone mineral density and incidence of osteopenia or osteoporosis among those with different NAFLD fibrosis risk.

Conclusion

There was a significant association of high risk for NAFLD liver fibrosis with osteoporosis in postmenopausal diabetic women but not men. In clinical practice, gender-specific evaluation of osteoporosis is needed in patients with T2DM and coexistent NAFLD.

Published: September 2022

Wood collapse-shrinkage is a severe defect that occurs in Eucalyptus timber during drying. To solve this problem and provide the technical support for the Eucalyptus application as high value-added wood products, Eucalyptus urophylla × E. grandis samples were pre-treated by ultrasound at 400 W power for 1, 3, or 6 h and then dried in the kiln. The effects of ultrasound pre-treatment on drying rates, residual stress, and total shrinkage after kiln drying were investigated. The results indicated that ultrasound pre-treatment increased drying rates, which was increased by 5%, 13%, and 11% when moisture content (MC) was above 24%MC according to the treating duration, and below 24%MC, which were increased by 25%, 28%, and 23%. Drying rate increased below 24% MC. The residual stress decreased during the later drying stage, especially for the condition of 3 h of ultrasound pre-treatment compared with the untreated samples, while it increased in the early stage of the drying process. The total shrinkage decreased after ultrasound pre-treatment, and it decreased 14.9% after 3 h pre-treatment. Ultrasound pre-treatment broke the pit membranes and modified the microstructures of the wood. The microstructure changes not only affect the drying rate, but also affect the developing of stress and strain, collapse, and its recovery.

Published: September 2022

The use of lightweight concrete in timber-concrete composite structures for the purposes of reconstruction, upgrading, and strengthening has increasing application potential. The correct combination of mechanical properties of both materials can preserve the beneficial aspects of timber in tension and concrete in compression, while reducing the weight of the structure. This paper experimentally evaluated the slip modulus of screw connectors as one of the key issues in the structural design of these types of composite structures. The results of four groups of push-out tests, which were performed on composite samples, are presented. All of the samples had identical cross sections, but each group was made with a different lightweight concrete density class according to Eurocode 2. The obtained results were compared with the values recommended by Eurocode 5. The analysis showed that the code recommendations yielded slip modulus values that were considerably higher than the ones obtained experimentally, which could lead to unsafe timber and lightweight concrete structures.

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) was prepared from Gliricidia sepium and Cola gigantea cellulose with yields of 1.59 g/g and 1.76 g/g, respectively. The pH of the products were weakly acidic (6.47 and 6.54, respectively). The sodium chloride content was 0.22 for C. gigantea CMC and 0.27 for G. sepium CMC, while the degree of substitution was 0.46 and 0.51, respectively. The swelling capacity of G. sepium CMC was 802%, which was higher than the 519% of C gigantea CMC. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy confirmed that the products were CMC, and a thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) confirmed that C. gigantea CMC was more stable than G. sepium CMC. Detergent fortified with G. sepium CMC had better performance than C. gigantea CMC in terms of cleaning action and emulsion index, and it competed favorably with a detergent fortified with commercial grade CMC.

Published: September 2022

The feasibility of using near infrared spectroscopy (NIR) to rapidly determine the cellulose content in pulp was investigated in this study. Partial least square regression analyses were performed to describe the relationships between the data sets of wet chemistry analysis and the NIR spectra. The selection of relevant wavenumbers combined with the appropriate data pre-processing methods produced satisfactory prediction models. The test statistics (R2, RMSECV, and RPD) improved compared with the models over the wavenumber range 10000 cm−1 to 4000 cm−1. The predicted cellulose content models, using the cross validation in the appropriate wavenumber ranges coupled with the spectral data preprocessing methods of multiplicative scattering correction (MSC), standard normal variate (SNV), and first derivative (FD) normalization, were established. The highest R2 value was found to be 0.92 with the lowest RMSECV values 0.60 using FD 19 normalization at the wavenumber range from 7250 to 6500 and 5500 to 4000 cm-1. The highest RPD value was 2.45. NIR spectroscopy, combined with multivariate statistical analysis, could predict cellulose content in the pulp with efficient accuracy.

Published: September 2022

El objetivo del estudio fue evaluar el efecto del sexo, ganancia media diaria (GMD) y tamaño de compra sobre el desempeño y la rentabilidad bruta mensual (RBM) y conocer la estructura de asociación entre variables económicas y de desempeño en bovinos en pastoreo ubicados bajo condiciones de trópico lluvioso en Colombia. Se analizaron los registros de 598 bovinos de los años 2016 a 2021. Los animales fueron clasificados por sexo y en tres grupos (PEQ, pequeños; MED, medianos; y GRAN, grandes) con base al peso vivo de compra. Se utilizó la metodología de mínimos cuadrados para conocer la influencia de los efectos y su interacción sobre la RBM (p<0.05). El modelo final incluyó los factores del sexo, tamaño y su interacción en tanto que la GMD y días de ceba (DC) fueron incluidos como covariables lineares dentro del modelo. La metodología análisis de componentes principales fue utilizada para conocer la estructura de asociación entre variables. Las hembras produjeron mayor RBM y ganaron menos peso que los machos (7.7 y 6.7% y 399±8.0 y 526±5.6 g, respectivamente). Animales PEQ generan mayor RBM (8.4±0.1%), que MED (6.9±0.1%) y GRAN (6.2±0.2%). El análisis de componentes principales agrupó cinco características en dos componentes principales (CP), reteniendo el 76.8 % de la varianza total. El (CP1) agrupó las variables peso inicial y DC. El CP2 estuvo fuertemente asociado con el peso final, GMD y RBM. El efecto del sexo, GMD y tamaño influenciaron la RBM. El análisis de componentes principales fue eficiente en identificar asociaciones entre las características estudiadas, en donde peso inicial y DC presentan asociación inversamente proporcional, y peso final, GMD y RBM asociación directamente proporcional.

Marriage is a worship that is very loved by Allah SWT, but in living it, every marriage will experience problems. When the problem cannot be resolved, the last resort each couple will take is divorce (talak). This article aims to explore the traditions of the Prophet SAW. relating to divorce, outlining the law of divorce according to the opinion of scholars and the impact of divorce on child psychology, the theory that will be studied is the theory of developmental psychology by Kayyis Fithri Ajhuri. This research uses descriptive analysis research method by collecting data through library research. The results of this study concluded that in the Hadith of the Prophet SAW. it is said that caution is needed in the pronunciation of the word divorce (talak), because this act is something that the devil likes. Originally, the law of divorce (talak) was khilaful awla, although basically divorce (talak) is permissible in Islam, parents who choose to divorce must pay attention to the impact of the divorce, especially the impact on children. According to Kayyis Fithri Ajhuri, one of the factors that influence the good or bad development of a child is the environment, which in this environment includes family, school, community and the surrounding natural conditions. Divorce is one of the factors that affect the development of a child, because divorce comes from the family itself, namely the parents. One way to reduce the psychological impact of children after a parent's divorce is to love each other and establish good communication between parents and children.

Excessive daytime sleepiness or an increased need for sleep are an increasingly common reason of medical appointments. For years, the literature on sleep disorders has reported a complex two-way relationship between excessive sleepiness and mental disorders – especially mood disorders, which include winter depression in seasonal affective disorder. Assessment and effective treatment of excessive sleepiness in patients with seasonal affective disorder is an important component of the therapy. Hypersomnia is often a residual symptom of affective disorders, compromising the quality of life and daily functioning. Modafinil is an agent used in adults to treat excessive sleepiness associated with narcolepsy, with or without cataplexy. In addition to the registered indications, previous studies have shown efficacy and good tolerance of modafinil as augmentation treatment of depressive episodes in patients with residual symptoms in the form of fatigue and excessive daytime sleepiness, who received drugs from the group of serotonin reuptake inhibitors. The aim of this paper is to present the problem of excessive daytime sleepiness in the course of seasonal affective disorder and to propose modafinil therapy.

We aimed to compare vaccinated and unvaccinated patients hospitalized with COVID-19 in terms of disease severity, need for intensive care unit (ICU) admission, and death. In addition, we determined the factors affecting the COVID-19 severity in vaccinated patients. Patients aged 18–65 years who were hospitalized for COVID-19 between September and December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed in three groups: unvaccinated, partially vaccinated, and fully vaccinated.

A total of 854 patients were included. Mean age was 47.9 ± 10.6 years, 474 patients (55.5%) were male. Of these, 230 patients (26.9%) were fully vaccinated, 97 (11.3%) were partially vaccinated, and 527 (61.7%) were unvaccinated. Of the fully vaccinated patients, 67% (n = 153) were vaccinated with CoronaVac and 33% (n = 77) were vaccinated with Pfizer-BioNTech. All patients (n = 97) with a single dose were vaccinated with Pfizer-BioNTech. One hundred thirteen (13.2%) patients were transferred to ICU. A hundred (11.7%) patients were intubated and 77 (9.0%) patients died. Advanced age (P = 0.028, 95% CI = 1.00–1.07, OR = 1.038) and higher Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) (P < 0.001, 95% CI = 1.20–1.69, OR = 1.425) were associated with increased mortality, while being fully vaccinated (P = 0.008, 95% CI = 0.23–0.80, OR = 0.435) was associated with survival in multivariate analysis. Full dose vaccination reduced the need for ICU admission by 49.7% (95% CI = 17–70) and mortality by 56.5% (95% CI = 20–77). When the fully vaccinated group was evaluated, we found that death was observed more frequent in patients with CCI>3 (19.1 vs 5.8%, P < 0.01, OR = 3.7). Therefore, the booster vaccine especially in individuals with comorbidities should not be delayed, since the survival expectation is low in patients with a high comorbidity index.

Cases of child sexual violence increased last year including recurrent sexual violence, so Indonesia Government provide chemical castration in accordance with Law Number 17 of 2016 concerning Child Protection in Article 81 paragraph (7). The Indonesian Doctors Association refuses to be the executor of the castration, because it considers it as a chemical castration not from health services and contrary to the Medical Code of Ethics. This research focus on the doctor's authorithy to executing castration. This article is normative research with statutes approach and conceptual aproach. Research result explain about chemistry catastration can not execute due to the absence of implementing regulations regarding castration execution. Execution of court decisions is the authority of the Prosecutor, but in the case of special competencies, doctors can have that authority over legal authority. It cannot replace as violation of medical code of ethics because doctor have justification reasons, otherwise castration implementation will give contribution for vulnerable children to prevent sexual violence compared to the negative effect on 1 person who disputes. Convicted (sexual violance) is person with psychological problems related to his desire to have sex with children. This needs psychological and medical intervention, so doctors intervention is not violate the medical ethics because they take appropriate precautions.

 

Kasus kekerasan seksual anak semakin tahun semakin bertambah termasuk kekerasan seksual berulang, sehingga negara mengambil langkah hukum dengan memberikan hukuman kebiri kimia sesuai dengan Undang-Undang Nomor 17 Tahun 2016 Tentang Perlindungan Anak pada Pasal 81 ayat (7). Ikatan Dokter Indonesia menolak menjadi eksekutor atas sanksi tindakan kebiri, karena menganggap bahwa kebiri kimia bukan dari pelayanan kesehatan dan justru bertentangan dengan Kode Etik Kedokteran. Penulis berfokus pada kewenangan dokter dalam melakukan eksekusi hukuman kebiri. Penulisan ini menggunakan metode penlitian hukum normatif dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan (statute approach), pendekatan konsep (conceptual approach). Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa eksekusi belum dapat terlaksana karena belum terbentuknya peraturan pelaksanaan tentang eksekusi kebiri. Eksekusi hukuman pidana merupakan kewenangan Jaksa, namun dalam hal komptensi khusus, dokter dapat memiliki kewenangan tersebut atas adanya perintah hukum (peraturan pelaksana eksekusi kebiri kimia). Hal tersebut tidak melanggar kode etik kedokteran karena yang dilakukan dokter memiliki alasan pembenar, selain itu penerapan hukuman kebiri memiliki kemanfaatan yang lebih besar pada sejumlah anak rawan kekerasan seksual dibandingkan dengan adanya dampak negative pada 1 orang pelaku. Selain itu pelaku kejahatan seksual berulang merupakan orang dengan kondisi psikologi yang terganggu karena keinginannya berhubungan seksual dengan anak. Hal ini perlu intervensi psikologis dan medis, sehingga dokter tidak menyalahi kode etiknya karena justru melakukan tindakan penyembuhan yang tepat.

Published: September 2022

In this paper, security of covert communication is increased by using n*3 incomprehensible stego files based on the novel algorithms, which are logical and statistical (LS), split logical (SL), and logical concealing (LC). Generally, cryptography and steganography techniques are used to achieve a secured data transmission. Cryptography is used to generate the "ciphertext" and steganography is used to produce the understandable stego image. The results of these two techniques alert the intruder to the fact that secret information is being exchanged. To overcome this drawback, this paper generates n*3 incomprehensible stego files with four levels of security using covert data and a container (cover) image. The main novelty of the proposed framework is that it provides multilevel security for data transmission by converting understandable stego images into non-understandable (incomprehensible) stego files. The LS encryption algorithm generates the lesser length of ciphertext with the input of covert data. The steganography generates a good visual quality of an understandable stego image by using discrete framelet transform (DFT) and random pixel embedding (RPE) techniques. Finally, the SL and LC algorithms produce n*3 incomprehensible stego files using the understandable stego image. These stego files are incomprehensible, meaningless, and invisible in nature. The experimental results have shown that the incomprehensible stego files improve the payload capacity, quality metrics (peak signal-to-noise ratio, correlation, and number of pixels change in rate), and also four levels of security to the secret data. It is also able to face the various steganalysis attacks, such as files deletion, data deletion, and data modification.

the article designates the terminological problem of distinction of the issues, used for the description of financial tensions in the activities of economic entities. On the base of the analyses of different legal norms it is stated that the source of such terminological intermixture are laid by the legislator itself. However, using of the variable terms as synonymous is inappropriate both from the point of legal technique and the practical use of such issues. Based on the analysis of economic literature, Russian legislation and the ILO Convention № 173 provisions related concept were studied to identify the differences between them. The author comes to conclusion of the necessity of the setting as quickly as possible the first symptoms of the employer's insolvency before the introduction of bankruptcy proceedings. Such approach to the problem will provide the using of protective mechanisms to the employees outside the framework of the uttermost crisis situation – the employer's bankruptcy.

in the article, a number of situations are described that provide for a necessity to unify Russia's procedural law norms regulating such multisectoral institutions as appeal, cassation and supervisory proceedings. One of the purposes of this unification is a reasonable ensuring of protecting the rights of the individual in examination and verification phases of the civil, arbitration, administrative, criminal procedure. The following issues were reviewed: the right and term of appealing against the court decision, the rule of using the ways of appealing against court decisions until they are legally effective, reasons for reversing or changing the court decision, improvement of the legislative regulation of the first phase of the cassation procedure performed in accordance with Civil Procedural Code, Administrative Procedure Code, Criminal Procedural Code of the Russian Federation. The proposals were formulated on improving the procedural legislation. The need was shown for the concurrence in the positions of the legislators representing the four forms of the court procedures during the development and adoption of the laws regulating the mult-sectoral institutions

Published: September 2022

the paper analyzes the problems of legal regulation and implementation of the definition of family members of residential premises owner. Purpose: to analyze the issues connected with the definition of family members of residential premises owner. The methodological framework of the research is based on the set of methods of scientific cognition such as analysis, synthesis, analogy and comparison and on specific scientific methods such as formal-legal and technical-legal. The main legal features of family members of residential premises owners are revealed and examined. The concept of the "family" has mainly psychological character, not legal character. That is why any attempts to formulate the definition of the "family member" based on not legal category of the family can cause some problems. The research made it possible to define the main legal features of the family members of residential premises owner, such as the necessity to satisfy the requirements of the article 31 of the Housing Code of the Russian Federation; official check-in the residence; absence of any other agreement (other legal grounds) between the person and the owner on using the residential premise; absence of rights of use of the other residential premise obtained earlier. In the paper the content of each feature is examined.

A review about biocontrollers of Phytophthora capsici and its impact on Capsicum plants: A perspective from outside to inside the plant

Published: September 2022

Phytophthora capsici is an oomycete that causes various symptoms, such as root, neck, stem, fruit rot, and leaf blight, in different plant species, including the genus Capsicum. One of the tools to counteract this biotic problem, which may be more profitable and respectful to the environment in the long term, is using biocontrollers such as Bacillus, Pseudomonas, Streptomyces (bacteria), and Trichoderma (fungus). It seems that each of these microorganisms has different mechanisms that allow them to inhibit and reduce the growth of P. capsici, negatively affecting the development of sporangia, germination and motility of zoospores, and expansion of germ tube. Although this direct biocontrol action on the phytopathogen correlates with the reduction of symptoms in Capsicum plants or other plant species, this would also involve the activation of defense responses in plants against P. capsici induced by microorganisms. The activity of several enzymes related to the isoflavonoid pathways and reactive oxygen species, as well as the expression of different genes that encode proteins related to pathogenesis and other proteins that can activate the jasmonic acid, salicylic acid, or ethylene signaling pathways. Despite the few existing works related to the biochemical and molecular interaction of Capsicum–P. capsici–biocontroller, in this review, we outlined and elucidated the possible effects and metabolic pathways related to this tripartite pathosystem.
