Constrained Vapor Bubble Experiment (CVB) in the Light Microscopy Module (LMM)
Authors: Plawsky Joel 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
This short article describes the major findings from the CVB experiment performed in the LMM on the International Space Station from 2010–2012. CVB was the first experiment to run in the new facility and focused on understanding the heat transfer and fluid mechanics occurring inside a wickless miniature heat pipe. The LMM was used to map the location of the vapor-liquid interface inside the device and to measure the film thickness profile on the walls of the device. Several interesting and unexpected phenomena were observed in microgravity including flooding of the heater end with liquid as the heat input increased, explosive nucleation of vapor bubbles at the heater end in the shortest version of the heat pipe tested, condensation on highly superheated surfaces, and the spontaneous formation of rip currents as the device tried to enhance the contact line area available for evaporation of the liquid.

Abstract
The main aim of the research is to identify landscape fragmentation (LF) in Slovakia with special emphasis on the contribution of protected areas (PAs) to mitigate the effect of LF. Results are presented in the final raster output (10 m grid). The raster contains 490,321,151 individual 10 m raster grids, with the LF average value of 59.12 % (where 0 represents fragmented landscape, 100 represents fully connected landscape by natural or semi-natural ecosystems) on the national level. Most of the territory of Slovakia falls within the range of values 55 – 65 %, which confirms the presence of significant continuous unfragmented areas. Based on the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) statistics results, there is a positive correlation of lower LF within the PAs network (p < 0.05, Table 1) in comparison to the unprotected part of Slovakia. The results of geographically weight regression (GWR) proved a medium positive correlation (r2=0.36; r2adj=0.36; n=49,003), thus confirming to a certain extent the role of PAs in the mitigation of the effect of LF. On the other hand, the level of protection does not correlate significantly with fragmentation values, where a higher level of protection is not significantly connected with a lower level of LF. For each category of PA, individual statistics of quality and quantity of LF are estimated and subsequently compared with unprotected parts of Slovakia. The comparison of all PAs with each other resulted in 1,132 unique assessments. The overall average value of LF of unprotected parts is still rather high (56.42 %) and it shows that there are still significant areas existing, which are situated in unprotected parts of the country. Spatial analysis revealed, that these important parts are covering 93,065 hectares, and are variously spread across the whole of Slovakia. The average value of LF for these newly identified areas is 68.5 %. As output, the results of this research present a comprehensive national map of the level of LF and lists of PAs ranked according to the overall assessment of LF.
Gold-plating of EU Law in the Czech Republic Revisited
Authors: Král Richard 
Published: April 2024

Abstract
The article first updates the concept and typology of gold-plating of EU law. In this respect, it makes the distinction between various types of gold-plating of EU law and submits that it should now be understood as any national transposition of EU directives as well as any national normative implementation of any other EU legal acts which exceeds the minimum regulatory requirements of the transposed or implemented EU act and which remains within EU legality. Secondly, it provides an updated view of the use of gold-plating in the Czech Republic. It does so by comparing the current gold-plating situation in this Member State with that of a decade ago. This comparison has revealed a predominantly positive development in this area, namely the almost total eradication of inadvertent gold-plating and the consolidation of deliberate justified gold-plating of EU law in Czech legislative practice. Still, the article pleads for some further refinements in the area concerned.

Aim: to measure the echogenicity of atherosclerotic plaques (AP) of carotid arteries to assess the dynamics of atherosclerosis and risk of cardiovascular outcomes (CVO) in patients with different CVD risk.Materials and methods. The study included 223 patients: 80 patients (47 males) with moderate CVD risk (mean age: 53 years, range: 39-66) (Group 1) and 143 patients (123 males) with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and high CVD risk (mean age: 57, range: 32-83) years (Group 2). All patients were examined at the Chazov National Medical Research Center of Cardiology. Patients underwent a standard clinical examination, biochemical blood test with lipid profile determination, and ultrasound duplex scanning. Patients with ACS were re-examined after 1-1.5 years and patients with moderate CVD risk were re-examined after 1 and 7 years.Results. We analyzed 181 APs in Group 1 and 378 APs in Group 2. Analysis of gray-scale median (GSM) at the first and second visit showed a significant increase in GSM in both groups: from 67.02 [54.13; 82.85] to 73.5 [59.5; 88.7] (p<0.0001) in Group 1, and from 49.3 [39.73;63.64] to 50.7 [40.04;66.54] (p<0.05) in Group 2. An increase in GSM was observed in 79% of patients in Group 1, in 53% of patients in Group 2. Unfavorable CVO (CVO+) developed after 7 years in 7 (8.8%) patients in Group 1, and after 1 year in 23 (23%) patients in Group 2. In Group 1, an increase in GSM was observed only in patients with favorable prognosis (CVO-): from 67.7[52.13; 79.0] to 77.5[64.12; 91.0] (n=148 AP, p<0.05), in patients with CVO+, GSM increased non-significantly from 60.1[53.5; 66.5] to 66.5[55.0; 71.6] (n=18 AP, p=NS). In Group 2, a significant increase in GSM was observed in patients with CVO-: from 48.7[39.0; 63.4] to 51.3[40.0; 67.4] (n=141 AP, p<0.01), in patients with CVO+, GSM decreased from 51.6[42.9; 72.5] to 50.2[40.4; 65.0] (n=43 AP, p=NS). In Group 2, GSM significantly increased by 2.75 (6.05%) from the initial value (p<0.05) in patients with CVO-, while patients with CVO+ showed a significant decrease in the average GSM of AP by 3.33 (7.8%) (p<0.05). Using ROC analysis, a Δ% GSM value of 6.96% was found (area under the curve 0.628 ± 0.0465 [95% CI 0.556 - 0.696], p = 0.0058). According to Cox regression analysis, the risk of CVO increased by 2.16 times with a decrease in GSM AP in the carotid arteries over time by ≥ 6.96% (НR=2.16; 95% CI=1.331 – 3.507); p=0.009.Conclusion. The ultrasound method of measuring the echogenicity of an atherosclerotic plaque of the carotid artery using GSM parameter can be effective for assessing the dynamics of atherosclerosis and prognosis of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with high and moderate CVD risk

Objective. 1. To evaluate the diagnostic value of the echocardiographic parameter of Color Doppler Horizontal Splay width (CDHSW) in assessment the of mitral regurgitation (MR) severity.2. To determine the cut-off values of CDHSW for the diagnosis of severe MR.Material and methods. A prospective data collection of 81 patients with presence of CDHS on echocardiography was carried out. Transesophageal echocardiography was performed in all of them to clarify the etiology and severity of MR, and in addition, 33 (40%) patients underwent phase-contrast magnetic resonance imaging.Results. After multiparametric examination severe MR was found in 32 (39%) patients, moderate MR in 47 (58%) and mild MR in 2 (3%). Regurgitation jet was eccentric in 79 (98%) patients, and sharply eccentric in 58 (71%) of them. The values of CDHSW (measured in 4-chamber, 2-chamber view, and mean CDHSW values) were significantly higher in the group of severe MR in comparison with the group of moderate MR. A statistically significant strong correlation was revealed between the CDHSW (measured in the 4- and 2-chamber view, and mean CDHSW values) with the values of MR volume, regurgitant fraction, size of effective regurgitant orifice, and a moderate correlation with the values of vena contracta width, left ventricle end-diastolic velocity and left atrium volume. ROC analysis showed the highest diagnostic value (AUC 0,93 ± 0,5, p < 0,001) of mean CDHSW in diagnosis of severe MR in comparison with CDHSW. Optimal cutoff value for mean CDHSW for severe MR diagnosis was >30 mm with a sensitivity of 88% and specificity of 71%.Conclusions. 1. CDHSW is an echocardiographic parameter that provides additional opportunities in the diagnosis of latent moderate and severe eccentric MR.2. It is reasonable to use mean values for the increase of diagnostic sensitivity of CDHSW.3. The mean value of CDHSW >30 mm is highly suggestive to severe MR.

Published: April 2024

Objective: The research was multifaceted - the goal was dual folded: first, to establish how well people perceive online banking and the services they provide. The second area covered in the study was the intention to participate in electronic banking services.

Theoretical Framework: The valuable impact of digitalization of banks on the rationalization of the local financial system. Along with this, financial literacy was highlighted in both the domestic industry and the international market which caused sustainable development.

Method: The data was collected by administering a structured free format survey to the customers of banks in a district of Sikkim (East region) Convenience sampling was the approach undertaken for selecting respondents.

Results & Discussion: The results and discussion were shown to have increased digital banking in recent times as reflected in the country. This is the second major rationale as to why cyber thieves should not be scared of e-banking since it appears more secure than traditional banking. Also, it has been seen that digital banks provide more diverse outlets in terms of loans and a wide spectrum of banking services. An efficient IT infrastructure and working devices fit the bill to make the financial market function correctly.

Implications: This data can be used to suggest that in the future, financial literacy programs can be of maximum help to financial institutions thus increasing the frequency of digital banking.

Originality: The uniqueness of this research lies in its analysis of the level of awareness and a high tendency of digital banking in a few municipalities which are situated in East Sikkim. Also, it recommends strategies like educational programs that are gender-sensitive and that contribute to a more resilient and sustainable digital banking ecosystem.
The Prosecutor's Promise in Executing the Claim Cessation Based on Restorative Justice
Authors: Simbolon Bona Fernandez M.T. , Syahrin Alvi , Ediwarman  , Marlina  
Published: April 2024

Objective: The prosecutor's power to stop the trial on the basis of restorative justice is an expression of the principle of separation, which is rooted in Pancasila and serves as the cornerstone of the Indonesian nation's state and ideology. This authority is also responsible for supporting easy, fast and affordable legal proceedings and implementing the principle of remedium ultimum.

Theoretical Framework: The study addresses the power of the Public Prosecutor's Office to suspend prosecution for specific criminal offenses, such as loss of property and damage to physical property, based on restorative justice.

Method: This research approach, known as normative jurisprudence, employs secondary data to do legal analysis of the problem's subject matter utilizing the law and a few court decisions.

Results and conclusion: The findings of the investigation reveal that the prosecutor's authority to stop the case on the basis of restorative justice is based on the values of Pancasila, the dominus litis, and the opportunist. In short, the prosecutor's ability to stop trials based on principles of restorative justice is optional rather than necessary. This procedure is based on the provisions of the Prosecutor's Rules.

Implication of the research: The prosecutor's power is in violation of the core tenet of criminal law if they pressure the offenders and victims to reconcile, as making peace does not absolve the criminal element.

Originality/value: that the exercise of authority by the prosecutor should not be strictly defended; instead, they should act as mediators, offering advice and advice so that the parties to the conflict can decide whether to pursue a peaceful settlement for certain crimes, such as physical and property crimes. If the victim refuses to negotiate a peace settlement, the case must undergo further investigation to get a judge's verdict.

Published: April 2024

Purpose: The potential impact of climate change can lead to a reduction of up to 46% in the distribution of ferns within suitable habitats. In this study, we employed predictive models for species distribution to gain insights into the effects of climate change and edapotopographic factors on ferns, anticipating declines in forested environments particularly vulnerable.

Material and methods: The research focused on the Neotropical region, from Mexico to Patagonia, including the Caribbean islands, with an emphasis on four fern species. Nineteen climatic and nine edapotopographic variables were used to develop models for both current and future scenarios under different climate conditions. This highlighted the importance of identifying areas at risk to implement effective conservation measures.

Results and conclusion: The results illustrate the present distribution of species in the region, while projections for 2070 indicate substantial reductions in suitable habitats under various climate scenarios. The study validates the hypothesis of a decline in forested areas, emphasizing the susceptibility of ferns. Furthermore, it highlights a notable loss of suitability for specific species, such as Lygodium venustum, underscoring the significance of ferns in ecosystems. The uncertainty analysis points out the robustness of the findings, emphasizing the imperative for mitigating carbon emissions and implementing conservation strategies to address forthcoming challenges in biodiversity preservation amid environmental changes.
On the need to use baby boxes in Russia and other countries
Authors: Purge Anna Rolandovna 
Published: April 2024

The subject of this study is the normative legal provisions of the application and functioning of baby boxes on the territory of various states. The object is the social and legal justification of the need in the modern world for the use of baby boxes in the context of the implementation of the constitutional principle of the child's right to life. Article 3 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights enshrines the inalienable and inalienable right of every human being to life, and, of course, this requirement fully applies to every child. Moreover, the principle has been proclaimed at the international legal level, according to which the child is the exclusive object of protection by any state in the world and society: for example, in part 2 of Article 25 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights it is enshrined that infancy and childhood give the right to special care and care. The methodological basis of this study is represented by a set of such methods of scientific cognition of objective legal reality, applied during preparation and writing, as: comparative analysis, as well as the formal legal method. In addition, the methods of scientific cognition of objective legal reality used by the author also include the logical method, system-structural analysis, and the method of legal modeling. The author analyzes the main social and legal reasons for the emergence and spread of the practice of using baby boxes in a number of foreign countries and in certain regions of Russia. Ambiguous points of view on the need for legal regulation and practice of using baby boxes in Russia are also presented today at the doctrinal level: some authors talk about the expediency and effectiveness of their use, others note their uselessness and insecurity, pointing to the existence of other mechanisms for voluntary parental abandonment of newborn children established by law. In the course of the analysis, the author presents the reasons for the need to introduce the practice of using baby boxes both in the Russian Federation and in other countries, and as a result, this entails the need for legislative regulation of the relations in question.
