Statutory Elements of the Crime of Motor Vehicle Registration Plates Forgery
Authors: Stefańska Blanka Julita 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This article is of a scientific and research nature and covers the subject of offences defined in Article 306c of the Criminal Code, which has been in force since 1 October 2023. It addresses, inter alia, the counterfeiting or altering of a motor vehicle registration plate to use it as an authentic one (§ 1) and using it as an authentic one (§ 2). The primary research goal is to assess the reasonableness of introducing this provision into the Criminal Code and the correctness of determining the conditions for its application and its objective scope. The assumption is that the criminalisation of such behaviour could be an effective weapon in combating the phenomenon of fuel theft from petrol stations, as the perpetrators of these thefts usually attach counterfeit plates to their vehicles. The analysis covers the object of protection of this provision, the types of this crime, their elements such as counterfeiting and alteration, the concept of a registration plate, the legalisation of the plate, the purpose of the causative behaviour, and the concept of a motor vehicle. It is sufficient to use the normative and dogmatic method to analyse the issues.

Abstract
In today's world, there is a high pressure to change lifestyle, which is increasing the incidence of neurological diseases, such as Parkinson's disease. To assess motor dysfunction in these patients, approaches based on markerless motion capture (MMC) technology have been tested in recent years. Despite the high sampling rate and accuracy of commercial depth sensors such as the Leap Motion Controller (LMC), their versatile use is limited due to irregular sensing or processing errors. These affect their reliability and question clinically meaningful data. To mitigate the impact of errors during measurements, we introduce visual feedback for the specialist physician in the form of a real-time display of the measurement data recorded by the LMC. In this proof-of-concept study, we evaluate data from 10 patients with Parkinson's disease and 12 healthy subjects during the finger tapping test (FTT). To verify the suitability of using the LMC sensor for this purpose, we validate the results by simultaneous measurement with digital camera and two contact sensors: an accelerometer and two three-axis gyroscopes placed on the fingertips. The preliminary results confirmed the effectiveness of introducing visual feedback when performing FTT by reducing the impact of LMC sensor failure by 4.3%. Additionally, we used machine learning techniques to determine the clinical relevance of the measured and extracted features, achieving an average classification accuracy of 90.41%.
The “cry” of a nightingale. Expression, emotion, meaning
Authors: Żerańska-Kominek Sławomira 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
Birdsong is among the most beautiful and complex sounds produced in the natural world. Modern ornithological research into the vocal communication of birds continues to open up new fields of research in neurobiology, ethology and evolutionary biology. Birdsong also fascinates musicographers and musicologists interested in, on the one hand, the presence of birds in music, and, on the other — theoretical questions concerning the ontology, aesthetic qualities and semiotics of birdsong resembling music in some respects. Reflection on this direct, easily accessible and natural sound experience of human beings is the subject of the present article. It is an attempt to answer the question about the source of expression and aesthetic meaning of bird-song for humans, about how bird “music” resonates with the human world. In particular — about whether the expressive meaning of birdsong is embedded and contained in it or whether its source is the listener’s subjective projection.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate and characterize the performance of ground tire rubber (GTR) modified dense graded asphalt mixtures to recommend a suitable GTR content to produce a mix that provides superior pavement performance characteristics. The research effort encompassed investigation of stiffness and cracking resistance of six dense graded asphalt mixtures, including one conventional and five modified mixes covering 42 samples. Addition of GTR using wet process showed decrease in stiffness during loading. Cracking resistance of GTR modified mixtures increased with higher levels of dosages regardless of the base binder. An increase in the GTR dosage from 0 to 10% did not result in a significant change in fracture energy but a further increment to 25% increased the fracture energy. The laboratory Results indicated that 10% GTR was showed as the optimal content for the stiffness modulus and 25 % GTR as better content that provides better cracking resistance.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
The circular economy and the principles by which it is guided, has become the subject of more and more scientific works, the authors defining this green part of consumerism in multiple and diverse ways, but all focusing on the decision-making power of consumers and producers regarding the consumption of goods and services, respectively of the practical measures to maximize the recycling and reuse of the resulting waste. This research follows the evolution of the impact of the human factor on the environment at the level of Romania in the period 1948-2024, of the European Union, Switzerland, Norway and Iceland (UEFTA-Liechtenstein) in the period 2010-2022, respectively 2004 - 2021. The main purpose of the article is to to determine the economic behavior models of the main actors on the global market, regarding the circular economy, with the aim of understanding their motivations and obviously to recommend the changes in mentality and implicitly the reactions, respectively the actions perceived to be strictly necessary for a sustainable use of raw materials and materials used in production processes. Of course, the concept of circular economy is one of vital importance for the entire human society, especially in the conditions of the demographic explosion predicted in the foreseeable future. For multiple reasons, this concept is absolutely decisive for avoiding the economic, social and ecological collapse of the entire planet we live on. The fundamental question we want to answer is “What are the main behaviors of consumers and producers regarding the circular economy?”, in order to be able to determine the current motivations, possibly future forecast and rewards that prove beneficial in the implementation of the principles of the green economy. The study is based on data related to GDP/capita, the recycling rate, the amount of greenhouse gases emitted and the number of vehicles with alternative propulsion.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
The interest on the dynamic behavior of railway bridges has grown in recent years due to the emergence of high-speed trains that induce a significant dynamic effect. A correct understanding of the dynamic behavior of a railway bridge is essential, as an accurate prediction of the structure’s response contributes to cost-effective design for new bridges and rational operation of existing ones.
The objective of this study was to investigate the dynamic behavior of an existing single-track railway bridge under dynamic traffic loads. For this study, it was assumed that the bridge is traversed by a high-speed train traffic with different speeds, ranging from a minimum speed of 100 km/h to a maximum of 300 km/h.
Moving vehicles, represented by Eurocode LM 71 and HSLM-A1 models, are simulated using constant intensity forces at the wheel locations, moving across the bridge at a constant speed. Dynamic interactions between the vehicle and the bridge, as well as track irregularities, are not considered.
To illustrate the variation of the dynamic amplification factor during the passage of the convoy at different speeds, a 3D dynamic model of the bridge structure was created, and dynamic analysis was performed using the modal superposition method.
The paper presents variations in displacements, accelerations, and the dynamic amplification factor determined through dynamic analysis for different elements of the bridge structure, depending on the speed of the moving forces. The numerical resonance speed, significantly amplifying the bridge structure’s response, was identified.

Published: August 2024

Abstract
Strategy and Performance Management has evolved in the last decades to become a critical capability adopted and nurtured by more and more organizations worldwide. While several types of performance management architectures are set in place to facilitate strategy execution and performance excellence within organizations, less emphasis is attributed to understanding how well performance management tools, processes, and resources are set to enable proper integration and allow the maturity of such architectures. To address this gap, this research focuses on developing and applying an Integrated Performance Management Maturity Model that can test the dynamics of performance management architectures. Using a structured research protocol, 5 public organizations from different sectors in Saudi Arabia were chosen to test the impact of the maturity model designed and diagnose their maturity level. Results from the study suggest moderate to advanced performance management practices among governmental. The application of the maturity model assessment allowed a diagnosis of performance management architectures’ status quo while enabling the development of improvement roadmaps for the entities included in the study.
Predictors of Consumer Aggression Toward Inclusive Brands: A Mixed Methods Investigation
Authors: Hajisafi Amir 
Published: August 2024

Abstract
This mixed-methods study investigates aggressive consumer reactions toward inclusive brands. An online survey of 384 U.S. consumers and 20 in-depth interviews reveal that virtue signaling, moral outrage, and tribalism predict consumer aggression through boycotts and negative publicity. Virtue signaling exhibits the strongest effect, suggesting consumers’ desire to demonstrate moral virtue drives reactions most strongly. The theoretical implications indicate that single theories provide limited explanations; integrating complementary perspectives generates richer insights. Practically, empowerment-based strategies promoting dialogic communication, transparency, and stakeholder co-creation may minimize outrage and hostility while advancing inclusivity. Recognizing consumers’ diverse motives allows tailored engagement to transform aggression into constructive dialogue, thereby advancing social good as the brands’ ultimate purpose.

A description is given of the five main levels within which the CFS design process is implemented. Some approaches that were used by the authors during the design of the design elements of the CFS are considered. The description of how the optimization model of structural and component synthesis is formed is given. The main components of such an optimization model are given. The structural elements of the CFS are described on the basis of a set of formed sets. Three groups of indicators in the model are identified. The first group includes reliability and cost, which are calculated for the entire CFS as a whole. The second group includes the indicators calculated for some digital threads. The third group of indicators is related to the principle of covering the entire life cycle of the CFS from project to operation. An interactive procedure for making a structural and component design decision is presented. The generation of solution options is carried out in an automatic randomized search mode by replacing Boolean variables with random ones.
Why Aotearoa New Zealand Needs a Corporate Homicide Bill
Authors: Belich Camilla 
Published: August 2024

New Zealand needs a law to make corporate homicide a crime. Without such a law those primarily responsible for the protection of workers and others from death or serious harm due to work do not face full responsibility for their actions or inactions. In other words, there may be no justice for people killed or needlessly injured due to work. This is why I propose a member’s Bill, the Crimes (Corporate Homicide) Amendment Bill, which would introduce a new offence of corporate homicide.

Authors: Sun Yan 
Published: August 2024

Objective: To explore the application effect of humanized nursing management in pediatric rehabilitation wards. Methods: 82 pediatric patients admitted to our hospital between January 2023 and January 2024 were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group. Among them, the control group was given routine care, while the observation group received humanized nursing management, and the clinical nursing effects and situations of the two groups of children were compared and analyzed. Results: After nursing, the observation group showed significantly better performance in intelligent Developmental Quotient (DQ) values (P < 0.05). The clinical nursing satisfaction of the observation group was significantly better than that of the control group (χ2 = 11.710, P < 0.05). Conclusion: Humanized nursing management for patients in pediatric rehabilitation wards not only improves their recovery but also significantly enhances parental satisfaction, which is worth learning from and promoting in clinical settings.
