Generative approach to the structure of negative sentences in Albanian
Authors: Kraja Alketa 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
This paper examines the components of negative sentences in Albanian from the perspective of generative linguistics. Main aim is to analyze the functions and positions of negative elements in the structure of Albanian sentences, providing a comparison with other languages to highlight the universal features and specificities of Albanian.
The focus of the analysis are the main negative particles such as “
nuk
”, “
s
’”, “
mos
”, and “
as
”, which are used to express simple and compound negation, including double and intensive negation. Elements such as “
nuk
” and “
s
’” are positioned immediately before the verb to express a simple negation and operate in a C-command relation that blocks the placement of other elements between them and the verb. In the syntactic structure, their position is above the subject and immediately before the predicate, blocking any other element from being placed between them and the verb. While “
mos
” is used mainly in the imperative, subjunctive and imperative moods, taking position before the modal particle or auxiliary verb to control the actions of the verb. “
As
” reinforces negation and can be positioned before the verb or other constituents to create polynegative structures. Comparisons with languages such as Italian and English emphasize that Albanian has developed polynegative structures, which allow the use of multiple negative elements without violating the grammaticality of the sentence. This analysis suggests that Albanian, through complex negation structures, complies with some of the universal principles of generative linguistics, while simultaneously maintaining special features that challenge some assumptions of standard generative syntax.

Abstract

Objective. Nanographene oxide (nGO) nanoparticles (NPs) have unique properties and are widely used in various fields, including biomedicine. These NPs, however, also exhibit toxic ef­fects and therefore, the understanding of the molecular mechanism of nGO toxicity is very im­portant mainly for the nanomedicine, especially the cancer therapy. This study aimed to examine the impact of nGO NPs on the expression of genes associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, proliferation, and cancerogenesis in both normal human astrocytes and U87MG glioblas­toma cells.

Methods. Normal human astrocytes line NHA/TS and U87MG glioblastoma cells stable trans­fected by empty vector or dnERN1 (dominant-negative construct of ERN1) were exposed to low doses of nGO (1 and 4 ng/ml) for 24 h. RNA was extracted from the cells and used for cDNA syn­thesis. The expression levels of DNAJB9, EDEM1, DDIT3, ATF3, ATF4, TOB1, and IDH2 mRNAs were measured by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and normalized to ACTB mRNA.

Results. We showed that treatment of normal astrocytes and glioblastoma cells by relatively small doses of nGO (1 and 4 ng/ml for 24 h) affected the expression level of DNAJB9, EDEM1, DDIT3, ATF3, ATF4, TOB1, and IDH2 mRNAs, but the sensitivity of all studied mRNA expres­sions to these NPs was significantly higher in normal astrocytes than in glioblastoma cells. The impact of nGO on these gene expressions is mediated by ER stress because ERN1 knockdown sup­presses the effect of these nanoparticles in glioblastoma cells.

Conclusion. The data obtained demonstrate that the low doses of nGO disturbed the functional integrity of the genome preferentially through ER stress signaling and exhibit a more pronounced genotoxic effect in the normal astrocytes than the glioblastoma cells.
Logistics Analysis of the Supply Chain for Forest Biomass in Slovakia
Authors: Gejdoš Miloš , Hitka Miloš 
Published: December 2024

Abstract
The demand for renewable energy sources and the construction of new consumer capacities for forest biomass, combined with increasing demands for nature protection and disturbances caused by global climate change, present several technological and logistical challenges. This study aims to analyze the main logistical problems in the production and transportation of forest biomass for energy use. The input data for the study were obtained from the databases of the National Forest Center and the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. In the production cycle, harvesting operations related to forest management, including tending felling and main felling, were considered. Service prices were sourced from the public price lists of both private and state forest managers, as well as forestry machinery operators. Costs were calculated for three key points in the logistics flow: the skid way in the forest, the biomass supplier’s warehouse, and the heating plant utilizing the biomass. Our results indicate that, regardless of the production location or the age of the forest stand, the largest cost component is primarily the transportation of biomass to the point of consumption. After establishing the optimization structure, it is also necessary to ensure the operational functionality and continuous biomass supply.

Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate the occurrence of negative values for the second law efficiencies in distillation columns, in order to evaluate the relationship between these efficiencies, energy consumption and remixing effect.

Theoretical Framework: This topic presents the main concepts and theories that underpin the research. The thermodynamic concepts related to the first and second laws of thermodynamics are highlighted, providing a solid basis for understanding the context of the investigation.

Method: The methodology adopted for this research involves the simulation of the acetone/methanol system, in Aspen Plus, using two solvents, DMSO and water. The efficiencies of the second law, energy consumption and remixing effect were evaluated for different operational conditions.

Results and Discussion: The results obtained revealed that not all operational conditions that present greater thermodynamic efficiency result in lower energy consumption. In addition, heat demand is directly related to lost work. In the discussion section, these results are contextualized in light of the theoretical framework, highlighting the implications and relationships identified. Possible discrepancies and limitations of the study are also considered in this section.

Research Implications: The practical and theoretical implications of this research are discussed, providing insights into how the results can be applied or influence practices in the field of thermodynamic evaluation of distillation columns. These implications may include improving the sustainability of distillation processes by identifying and minimizing sources of irreversibilities.

Originality/Value: This study contributes to the literature by conceptually addressing the interpretation of thermodynamic efficiencies of distillation columns, in addition to providing a detailed analysis of the relationship between efficiency, energy consumption and remixing effect. The relevance and value of this research are evidenced by perspectives for the thermodynamic optimization of distillation processes.

Analysis of the case law establishing circumstances of illegal distribution of generative content created using artificial intelligence
Authors: Bodrov Nikolay Filippovich , Lebedeva Antonina Konstantinovna 
Published: December 2024

The authors consider various cases from judicial and investigative practice related to the illegal distribution and use of generative content created using artificial intelligence technologies. Special attention is paid to the issues of proving the falsification of digital products created by neural networks, including voice and graphic deepfakes. The legal and technological aspects of the use of such evidence in court proceedings are analyzed. The authors also emphasize that there is no legal definition of a deepfake in the current legislation, and without this it is not possible to talk about the modernization of domestic legislation. Taking into account the pace of development of artificial intelligence technologies, it is necessary to define legally the deepfake. In the context of the rapid development of artificial intelligence technologies, it is necessary to regulate the deepfakes, taking into account the legal gaps that accompany the current level of artificial intelligence development and threats that are already real, which is confirmed by the considered judicial practice. The necessity of creating a data set for conducting experimental phonoscopic studies of phonograms with recordings cloned using neural networks of voices is substantiated. The methodological basis of the research is the universal dialectical method, general scientific (description, comparison, generalization, modeling, etc.) and private scientific methods. The novelty of the research lies in the identification and systematization of key problems related to the conduct of forensic examinations and the legal regulation of generative content. The paper presents recommendations for improving legislative norms and expert methods (using the example of forensic phonoscopic examination), including the need to create specialized databases and scientific and methodological approaches for the study of generative content. The conclusions of the article emphasize the importance of developing standards for diagnosing the use of generative artificial intelligence in the creation of digital products, as well as the need to improve the skills of experts conducting forensic examinations in relation to such objects. The obtained results can be used to form more effective mechanisms of legal response to the challenges associated with artificial intelligence technologies.

Objectives:
The objective of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of nanofractional radiofrequency in the treatment of acne scars.

Material and Methods:
In this 5-year retrospective study, adults with atrophic acne scars on their cheeks underwent four monthly sessions of nanofractional radiofrequency treatment (Venus Viva™, Venus Concept Inc., Toronto, Canada). Follow-up occurred 2 months after the last session. Clinical photographs were assessed by physicians and patients, and two dermatologists performed independent subjective analysis. Side effects, including pain, erythema, post-inflammatory pigmentation, and burning, were recorded after each session.

Results:
In the analysis, 65 patients were included, with a mean age of 27.6 ± 5.6 years. Among them, 67.7% had Fitzpatrick skin type IV. The mean satisfaction score at the end of the study was 7.33 ± 1.31, and 55.4% of patients scored >7. Of the 24 patients with scars lasting less than 6 months, 70.8% experienced >75% improvement. For patients with macular scars (11 in total), 72.7% saw >75% improvement. Transient pain and swelling were observed in all patients, while 32 out of 65 reported a burning sensation lasting <2 h.

Conclusion:
Nanofractional radiofrequency is highly effective, with positive responses in macular to mild scars. Scar duration is inversely related to treatment response. It is safe with transient, controlled side effects.
Animalité et entre-soi dans La héronnière et L’habitude des bêtes de Lise Tremblay
Authors: Ung Kaliane 
Published: December 2024

Cet article se penche sur les notions d’animalité et d’entre-soi dans La héronnière (2003) et L’habitude des bêtes (2017) de Lise Tremblay, deux textes dont les narrateurs sont soumis aux ragots du village. Dans ces villages isolés, la chasse affirme un désir de violence masculin, entre protection des siens et défense de l’honneur. Les femmes gravitent autour des chasseurs sans être totalement considérées comme des partenaires égales dans l’organisation de la vie rurale, ce qui précipite leur départ volontaire. Prisonniers du calendrier de la chasse, les animaux qui surgissent dans ces textes révèlent l’impossible dialogue entre les sexes et jouent le rôle de médiateurs dans les relations tendues entre hommes et femmes.

Published: December 2024

В последние годы на результаты деятельности экономических субъектов значительное негативное влияние оказывают турбулентные условия ведения бизнеса, среди которых рост геополитической напряженности, санкционные ограничения, риски пандемий, ускорение экономических циклов, переход к возобновляемым источникам энергии и другим видам устойчивой энергетики и пр. В этих условиях возросшей неопределенности ключевым инструментом оценки влияния изменения внешних факторов на деятельность компаний, по мнению авторов, является проведение стресс-тестирования. Причем публикации на тему стресс-тестирования в основном посвящены компаниям финансового сектора, в то время как применение данной практики к производственным предприятиям освещено недостаточно. В этой связи использование такого инструмента, как стресс-тестирование в рамках системы управления рисками на предприятиях реального сектора экономики, в том числе относящихся к отрасли трубопроводного транспорта, представляется актуальным. В настоящей статье проведена систематизация имеющейся теоретической базы в области стресс-тестирования, рассмотрены особенности ее законодательного регулирования, выполнен анализ практики проведения стресс-тестов в отрасли трубопроводного транспорта. Приведен обзор методов проведения стресс-тестирования, структурирована классификация стресс-тестов, приведен практический пример проведения стресс-теста, а также раскрыта роль финансового моделирования в стресс-тестировании.
In recent years, the results of the activities of economic entities have been significantly negatively affected by turbulent business conditions, including increased geopolitical tensions, sanctions restrictions, pandemic risks, acceleration of economic cycles, transition to renewable energy sources and other types of sustainable energy, etc. In these conditions of increased uncertainty, stress testing is a key tool for assessing the impact of changes in external factors on the activities of companies, according to the authors. Moreover, publications on the topic of stress testing are mainly devoted to companies in the financial sector, while the application of this practice in relation to manufacturing enterprises is insufficiently covered. In this regard, the use of such a tool as stress testing within the framework of the risk management system at enterprises in the real sector of the economy, including those related to the pipeline transport industry, seems relevant. In this article, the systematization of the existing theoretical base in the field of stress testing is carried out, the features of its legislative regulation are considered, and the practice of stress tests in the pipeline transport industry is analyzed. The review of stress testing methods is given, the classification of stress tests is structured, a practical example of stress testing is given, and the role of financial modeling in stress testing is disclosed.
