Current issues in aesthetics and beyond: Revisiting lookism
Authors: Takáč Peter 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Lookism is a term used to describe discrimination based on the physical appearance of a person. We suppose that the social impact of lookism is a philosophical issue, because, from this perspective, attractive people have an advantage over others. The first line of our argumentation involves the issue of lookism as a global ethical and aesthetical phenomenon. A person’s attractiveness has a significant impact on the social and public status of this individual. The common view in society is that it is good to be more attractive and healthier. This concept generates several ethical questions about human aesthetical identity, health, authenticity, and integrity in society. It seems that this unequal treatment causes discrimination, diminishes self-confidence, and lowers the chance of a job or social enforcement for many human beings. Currently, aesthetic improvements are being made through plastic surgery. There is no place on the human body that we cannot improve with plastic surgery or aesthetic medicine. We should not forget that it may result in the problem of elitism, in dividing people into primary and secondary categories. The second line of our argumentation involves a particular case of lookism: Melanie Gaydos. A woman that is considered to be a model with a unique look.
To live is to die: A virtue account of arguments for the right to die
Authors: Vulliermet Franlu 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
In recent years, debates about euthanasia and assisted suicide have increased to the point that now, many people defend the recognition of the right to die, the right for people to decide upon the end of their life. Consistently, advocates fight to legalise practices such as euthanasia to guarantee patients’ possibility to die when they request it. In this paper, I review two of the strongest arguments invoked by proponents of physician-assisted suicide: the argument for compassion and the argument for dignity. The focus of this paper is to propose a review of these arguments through the lens of virtue ethics to inform the debate on physician-assisted suicide and question the relevance of such arguments for the legalisation of that right that would greatly ease the possibilities to end the life of a patient asking for it.

Abstract
This study is focused on the evaluation of the values of the diversity indices of semi-natural dry calcareous grasslands of the Festuco-Brometea class in the area of Devínska Kobyla National Nature Reserve 50 years after abandonment of traditional management (grazing and mowing). The values of the species richness, the Shannon–Wiener index of diversity, the Simpson index, and Pielou’s measure of species evenness in the communities in the old and recent data, and the values of the environmental variables based on the Ellenberg indicator values of species were analyzed. For most of these analyses, we used Kruskal–Wallis in R 3.5.1. Compared to the past, we have recorded a significant lower values of the species richness, biodiversity, and species evenness in some communities. In some communities, no significant changes were recorded. Only in one community—Poo badensis-Festucetum pallentis, the higher values of Shannon–Wiener index was recorded compared to the past. The analysis of the Ellenberg indicator values revealed a statistically significant higher Ellenberg indicator values for moisture and nutrients and lower values for light in more recent period compared to the old period. The recorded results could be caused by the changes in the management after the year 1965, after abandonment of grazing and the gradual overgrowing by woody species took place in the area. The frequency of occurrence of some woody species (e.g., Populus alba, P. nigra, and Robinia pseudoacacia) in some communities increased compared to the past.
On the vertical distribution of Ips duplicatus, I. cembrae and some bark- and longhorn beetles (col.: curculionidae, Scolytinae; col.: cerambycidae) in the Tatra national Park in Poland
Authors: Grodzki Wojciech 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
In 2013–2014, a set of 30 pheromone traps baited with synthetic lures attracting I. duplicatus (Duplodor – 15 traps) and I. cembrae (Cembrodor – 15 traps) was installed in 6 altitudinal transects (1000–1400 m a.s.l., every 100 m of elevation) in the eastern, central and western part of the Tatra National Park (TPN) in Poland and operated during the entire growing season. The main aim of the survey was to check if and to what vertical extent these two species of bark beetles, not yet recorded, are presently distributed in TPN. Collected insects, including non-target Scolytinae and Cerambycidae, were determined. Overall 1896 Scolytid bark beetles belonging to 13 species, all occurring in the whole elevation range, were collected. I. duplicatus (28 specimens in total) was collected in the whole elevation profile, similarly as I. cembrae (718 specimens in total). Among Cerambycidae (282 individuals) belonging to 19 species, Rhagium inquisitor and Pidonia lurida, found on all elevations, were the most abundant; 8 species were collected on the highest locality. Pogonocherus decoratus was found for the first time in the Tatra. Results indicate the upward spreading of the studied insects as a possible effect of climate change and the resulting environmental conditions favourable for those organisms.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
Rabies, a zoonotic disease, is one of the deadliest and most serious threats to public health as it has an almost 100 % case fatality rate. The global estimated mortality of the virus is between 40,000 to 70,000 deaths annually with most of the death occurring in the developing countries of Africa and Asia. The objective of this study was to present the incidence and mortality rates from rabies in 28 African countries from 2005 to 2018. Secondary data were obtained from the World Organization for Animal Health Database. The data from 2005 to 2018 were used, as this was the period with available data in the database. The data were analysed using SPSS version 25 and other descriptive statistical tools. The highest combined rabies incidence and mortality in the time range (2005—2018) was 1601 in 2006, while the lowest was 157 in 2005. Just five countries (Angola, Central African Republic, Kenya, Mozambique and Senegal) had 65 % of the rabies cases and mortality. Notably, the data on the incidence and mortality were 100 % similar, as all of the cases of rabies in the 28 African countries within 2005—2018 resulted in death. Therefore, more work should be devoted to research on rabies prevention and cure. Toward that goal, practices and policies should be implemented to enable the acquisition of accurate and consistent rabies data.

What Remains: The Enduring Value of Museum Collections in the Digital Age
Authors: Pantalony David 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Why do collections continually surprise? The simple answer for students and researchers is that collections of historic objects contain abundant information not well represented in texts or on the internet. Collections in museums, libraries, campuses and private hands offer a unique source of diversity for research, teaching and broader cultural offerings. In this paper, I look at the wealth of findings resulting from the careful study of objects, collections and provenance. I provide examples from our national science museums in Ottawa, as well as collecting activities throughout Canada. I will also describe recent research in German science collections. The close study of objects has a capacity to reveal multiple narratives and unexpected human dimensions of the past, while also connecting us to complex human relations with what remains in the present. I reflect on how collection keepers and museums can better harness the possibilities stemming from these kinds of approaches.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
This article analyzes the grounds and possibility to induce and develop reshoring activities in the luxury goods sector. The premise of this analysis is the contemporary redefinition of the luxury goods sector, which relates to the increasing volume of goods marketed as luxuries. In this paper, we examine whether reshoring can develop in a similar manner on the respective tiers of the luxury ladder in the luxury fashion, automotive, and jewelry industries. Both premises and examples of reshoring in the luxury goods sector are conceptually analyzed and empirically illustrated.
Role of Trust in Adopting Consumer Social Responsible Behaviour in the Context of Water Use in Domestic Households
Authors: Caspers Cornelis G.W. 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
The central theme in this article is Consumer Social Responsibility (CnSR) in the context of sustainable water consumption at home. In this paper, a conceptual SEM model will be tested based on the Theory of Planned Behaviour. This model focuses on the role of trust mediated by CnSR attitude, in influencing water conservation behaviour. Using a sample of 493 respondents, SEM analysis results show that trust in water companies and general trust disposition have significant effect on CnSR attitude. Attitude is approached via environmental, economic and social angle, covering three (triple) mentioned domains of sustainability each with an associated minimum (bottom) required level (line) also known as the Triple Bottom Line (TBL).
Parameter sensitivity analysis of the theoretical model of a CR-39-based direct 222Rn/220Rn progeny monitor
Authors: Hu Jun , Hosoda Masahiro , Tokonami Shinji 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
The deposition-based direct indoor 222Rn and 220Rn progeny measurement techniques are mostly affected by the indoor environmental conditions, such as the ventilation, concentration of condensation nuclei, and reactions with the structure and its furnishings. In this study, a theoretical model of a direct 222Rn and 220Rn progeny monitor based on allyl diglycol carbonate (ADC or CR-39) was established to analyse the factors that influence the detection process by using the parameter sensitivity analysis. The aerosol parameters contributed the highest to the variance, followed by the aerodynamic parameters. With respect to the result of the Spearman’s correlation analysis, the aerosol-related and the room-related parameters are positive, whereas the aerodynamic parameters – which affect the turbulence of indoor deposition – are negative. It means that both the attachment process and the deposition process of 222Rn and 220Rn progenies are important to the performance of the progeny monitor.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
The effects of feeding dried sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) leaf (SPL) on growth performance, digestibility, and nitrogen (N) utilization were studied in sheep. Twenty-four rams with initial body weight of 18.5 ± 1.49 kg were randomly allocated to four treatments containing ad libitum natural grass hay alone (T1), hay + 150 g SPL (T2), hay + 300 g SPL (T3) and hay + 450 g SPL (T4) on as fed basis. Results indicated that dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM) and crude protein (CP) in-takes increased (P < 0.001) with increasing levels of SPL. Sheep fed with T2, T3 and T4 diets gained 55.1, 52.6 and 66.5 g per head per day, respectively, while the gain of non-supplemented sheep (9.19 g per head per day) differed (P < 0.05). Digestibility of DM, OM, and CP was higher (P < 0.01) for all supplemented sheep compared with the control. The CP digestibility and N retention were negative in non-supplemented sheep. Urinary N excretion decreased (P < 0.001) with the increasing levels of SPL supplementation. The N retention improved with the increasing levels of SPL and was the highest (P < 0.001) in sheep fed with T4 diet and the lowest in non-supplemented sheep. In conclusion, supplementing a basal diet of natural grass hay with SPL considerably improved the average daily gain, OM and CP digestibility and N retention.

Upaya menyiapakan pengelolaan BDC yang menghadirkan kontribusi sognifikan dari pelaku usaha produktif melalui KSM, kegiatan penguatan kapasitas atau pelatihan merupakan kegiatan yang sangat penting dan strategis delam kegiatan pilot BDC. Segala uapaya yang telah dicoba dan dikerahka, akan tetapi masih banyak hal yang masih belum bisa dilakukan secara optimal sebagai contohnya adalah proses pemasaran yang masih terhamba. Rendahnya networking yang dimiliki sehingga perbandingan antara penjualan yang dilakuka belum mampu menutupi biaya oprasional gaji. Rendahnya penjualan dikarnakan minimnya pengetahuan terhadap bisnis E-commerce menjadi hambatan paling besar dalam tubuh BDC. Belum lagi pemberian bran dan konsep packaging yang masih teramat standar dam belum memenuhi syarat sebuah merek atau packaging yang bagus.
Dengan adanya kegiatan PKM(Pengabdian Kepada Masayarakat) diharapakan UKM yang bernaung di BDC semakin paham tentang bagaimana caranya megoptimalisasi penjualan melalui media online (e-commerce). Selain itu juga diharapkan bisa membuat merek baru sesuai kebutuhan pasar.
الإعجاز العلمي واللغوي في حديث القرآن عن بعض الحشرات

لقد اشتد الجدل - ومازال- حول الإعجاز العلمي في القرآن الكريم، فهذه القضية بين مؤيد ومعارض، وهناك من العلماء من يؤيد هذه القضية - قضية الإعجاز العلمي في القرآن الكريم- إلى حدِّ المبالغة والشطط، وهناك من العلماء من يعارض هذه الفكرة حتى وصل إلى حدِّ العداء، ومن العلماء صنف ثالث آثر أن يكون بين هؤلاء وأولئك قوامًا بلا إفراط ولا تفريط.وبالرغم من القبول والموافقة من الفريق الأول، والرفض والإنكار من الفريق الثاني إلّا إن ذلك لا يقلل من أهميته ولا يهون من حقيقته أو ينال منها؛ إذ إن الاختلاف في الرأي والتباين في الفهم من سنن التفكير بين البشر، خاصةً في الموضوعات التي يكون للعقل والمنطق فيها دور أكبر من دور الحس والمشاهدة.ومهما بلغت الأمور درجة اليقين، فإن بعض الناس ينكرونها ويجادلون فيها، وليس أدل على ذلك من إنكار وجود الله - سبحانه وتعالى - الذي يصدر عن الملحدين بالرغم من وجود البراهين العقلية والحسية والسبب هو أن عقولهم لا تقتنع إلا بالمشاهد الملموسة وترفض الغيبي المعقول.
Identification of health risks from harmful chemical agents – review concerning bisphenol A in workplace
Authors: Kapustka Katarzyna , Ziegmann Gerhard , Klimecka-Tatar Dorota , Ostrega Mateusz 
Published: July 2020

Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used as an additive in conventional point-of-sale thermal paper receipts, in the production of many polycarbonate plastics, and epoxy resins lignin for food. BPA is xenoestrogen, a foreign compound that is not naturally produced in living organisms, but which acts similarly to natural 17-ß estradiol (natural estrogen). Due to its weak estrogenic activities, BPA exposure may influence multiple endocrine-related pathway, and is associated with prostate and breast cancer, neurobehavioral deficits, heart disease, and obesity. Furthermore, BPA may act as a DNA methylation agent and cause altered gene expression in the brain. Human exposure to bisphenol A is a matter of controversy. This review shows a potential risks in workplace resulting from contact with bisphenol A. The work presents the contribution of BPA exposure levels via dermal contact and the relationship between BPA exposure level and oxidative DNA damage.

Published: July 2020

Abstract
The aim of the following research it to provide assumptions for creating workflow efficiency model that can be implemented in repeatable production workstations. One of the main components of this model are human activities and their interactions with other elements of working environment: human and artefacts. Recognition of patterns of human behaviours within working processes gives the opportunity to find critical points that influence workflow efficiency.
The subject of research is a working process existing in meat producing plant. The main method used for recognizing human activity patterns was observation and qualitative and quantitative assessments of operational activities based on video registration. Particularly, human activities were analyzed under ergonomics criteria in order to proof dependencies between process efficiency and specific ergonomic factors forming working conditions at meat plant.

Sinergitas filsafat dan agama dua hal prinsip hidup setiap orang untuk bersungguh sunguh Berfilsafat bukanlah merupakan pekerjaan yang setiap saat dapat saja dimulai dan yang semauanya dapat dihentikan,berfilsafat lebih merupakan suatu mentalitas berpikir suatu sikap dan penyesuaian pribadi yang dibiasakan secara perlahan-lahan dan dengan susah payah sehingga oleh karena itu menjadi milik kita secara tetap,belajar berfilsafat belajar membuka diri dan bersedia untuk itu (membuka diri), sedamgkanberagama atau berkeyakinan adalah suatu fitrah bagi manusia. Hal ini bertolak dari kesadaran manusia akan ketidak-berdayaan dirinya dan adanya sesuatu yang transenden yang patut diunggulkan. Agama, sebagai pegangan hidup manusia, tentu tidak hanya berhenti sebagai pemikiran ideal belaka, melainkan, seiring perjalanan waktu, harus diterjemahkan dalam bingkai realitas kehidupan manusia. Agama kemudian mencari posisinya yang apresiatif terhadap realitas, namun tanpa mereduksi prinsip-prinsipnya

ABSTRACT The success of a leader can be seen from the ability of a leader to be the trigger he leads by creating conducive working conditions so as to increase progress and increase capacity which results in a positive influence on human resources led in running work in the direction of achieving organizational goals. This study uses moderating variables of management accounting systems, business strategies and environmental uncertainties that can encourage leadership styles for optimal managerial performance. This study uses hyphotheses testing study with a method of collecting data through questionnaires distributed to respondents managers at pharmaceutical distributors spread across Sidoarjo and Surabaya. This study resulted that leadership style had a significant effect on managerial performance, but for variable interactions (moderation) of business strategies, management accounting systems and environmental uncertainties did not provide a moderating effect on the relationship of leadership style to managerial performance. This is because pharmaceutical distributors are an agency that has an optimal business strategy and management accounting system. The environmental uncertainty of companies engaged in this sector also does not have a significant impact on the sustainability of the organization, because medical needs, whether medicine or medical devices, are a major need for the health unit and the Indonesian community, of course.Keywords: leadership style, business strategy, management accounting system, environmental uncertainty, managerial performance
