Perancangan webcomic tentang isu pembajakan film memiliki 10 episode yang diunggah ke LINE Webtoon ini berkisah tentang seorang mahasiswa yang bercita-cita menjadi seorang sutradara hebat tetapi di lingkungan sekitarnya masih sering menonton film secara ilegal. Webcomic ini adalah sebuah upaya untuk menyadarakan masyarkat bahwa dibalik sebuah film ada orang-orang hebat yang berjuang dan mencari nafkah.

Abstract. Technological developments in Indonesia have increased the spread of pirated films. Film piracy means copying, distributing, and selling a work without the creator's permission for personal gain. This study aimed to design a digital comic to educate people about the dangers of watching pirated films for themselves and the film industry. The research used qualitative methods through observations and interviews with a film director and webtoon comic artist. Observations were made in places where many still choose to watch movies illegally. The design process started with finding ideas/references, writing stories, designing characters, compiling storyboards, thickening comics, digitizing comic colouring, and arranging layouts for composing dialog texts. Comics were then uploaded via the LINE Webtoon platform. The webcomic design on the issue of film piracy has ten episodes uploaded to LINE Webtoon. It tells the story of a student who dreams of becoming a great director, but in his surroundings, he still often watches movies illegally. This webcomic attempts to make people aware that behind a film, there are great people who struggle and make a living.
Гібридні операції, їх аналіз та механізми запобігання й протидії-сучасний досвід іноземних держав
Authors: Грановський Микола 
Published: December 2023

У сучасному світі спостерігається тенденція до значного зростання кількості гібридних конфліктів, які стають дедалі більш витонченими і непередбачуваними. Статтю присвячено теоретичним і практичним аспектам таких явищ, як гібридна війна, гібридний конфлікт або агресія, що впливають на безпеку міжнародного середовища, а також діям органів державної влади щодо протидії таким загрозам, зокрема у країнах ЄС. Здійснено спробу дати відповідь на запитання: «У чому виражається суть гібридних дій? Як відбувається їх еволюція? Яким є характер сьогоднішньої гібридної агресії?». Сучасна практика гібридних операцій з боку агресора демонструє кардинальну зміну тактики та засобів, які використовує держава-гравець світового рівня проти супротивника, який є слабким і нездатним захищати цілісність власної території. Аргументи, викладені у статті, підтверджують необхідність подальшого проведення досліджень гібридних дій, які порушили цілісність державних кордонів багатьох країн, у тому числі й України, та продовжують становити реальну загрозу безпеці в Європі та світі.
Ключові слова: безпека, гібридна війна, гібридний конфлікт, гібридні дії, гібридні операції, тероризм.
La escultura pública como un mecanismo de representación e identificación de la comunidad local
Authors: Fernández Pons Luis , Llobet Sarria Jasmina 
Published: December 2023

El presente texto aborda una serie de esculturas públicas recientes del colectivo artístico Llobet y Pons, realizadas teniendo en cuenta diversas consideraciones específicas del contexto en que se instalan. Estas obras incorporan una funcionalidad participativa que pretende dar respuesta a las reivindicaciones de la comunidad local, con el propósito de favorecer una identificación con las esculturas. A través de objetos relacionales de carácter público, Llobet & Pons crean lugares de encuentro que favorecen la interacción de la comunidad entre sí y con el arte. En ocasiones, esto se logra a través del deporte, como en la obra No one wins. Multibasket (Isla de Pingsha) (2022), que incorpora una nueva cancha de baloncesto para la comunidad; o mediante el programa cultural diseñado conjuntamente con entidades del barrio y ofrecido en torno a una serie de miniedificios en Kiezplatten (2021). Llobet & Pons también exploran la incorporación de una infraestructura de uso práctico el lugar, como en la obra Population Pyramid Grill Station (2019), que incluye una barbacoa pública. En In another’s skin (2018) demuestran que otra estrategia efectiva de identificación consiste en la creación de esculturas que incorporan un significado personal para la audiencia, estableciéndose un vínculo personal e intransferible entre participante y escultura.

Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of age of cows on variability in mastitis prevalence risk and its concomitant impacts on their successive daily milk yield by analyzing test-day records of dairy cows collected in the period 2005–2022. The results obtained indicate a correlation between the age and breed of cows enrolled in the study and mastitis prevalence risk alongside its concomitant impacts on their successive daily milk yield. The findings demonstrate a progressive increase in mastitis prevalence risk with the advancing age of cows, notably more pronounced in the Holstein breed than in the Simmental breed. The Simmental cows exhibited a lower increase in daily milk yield, experiencing a substantial decrease in overall yields (namely milk, fat, and protein) in contrast to the Holstein cows. The primiparous cows of both breeds displayed the highest total increase in daily milk yield. This study underscores the significance of monitoring dairy herd health as a pivotal component of successful dairy herd management. Moreover, the daily lactose content was found a valuable and cost-effective indicator for ensuring the economically and environmentally sustainable operations of dairy farms.

Summary
The beginning of lactation in dairy cows is a challenging period when cows experience oxidative stress followed by an increased risk of mastitis. This study aimed to establish a correlation between mastitis pathogens and the activity of antioxidant enzymes – superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) – in milk collected from cows with mastitis compared with their healthy counterparts. During the two-year survey, the udder health status was followed and the changes in SOD and GPX activity in milk were assessed in the period to 42nd day of lactation. The quarter milk samples were screened for detection of abnormal milk secretion (AMS) and intramammary infections (IMI). The spectrophotometric methods were used for detection of antioxidant enzyme activity in milk serum. The prevalence of IMIs from AMS was 43.83% while the isolated mastitis pathogens were grouped as contagious: Streptococcus agalactiae (19.14%) and Staphylococcus aureus (6.17%); or environmental: Enterococcus spp. (8.02%), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (7.41%), Escherichia coli (1.85%), and Aspergillus niger (1.23%). IMI showed statistically significant influence on SOD and GPX activity in milk serum (p<0.05). Contagious bacteria lead to increased activity of GPX, while environmental pathogens more drastically increase SOD activity. Providing a balanced diet with adequate antioxidants and managing environmental stressors can help reduce oxidative stress during the transition period and decrease the risk of mastitis in early lactation.

Summary
Donkey milk is usually sold for human consumption directly at farms and agricultural households and it is used in the raw state because of its well-known medicinal properties. Sometimes, however, such milk has poor microbiological status due to inappropriate conditions during hand milking and storage. The aim of this paper was to examine the microbiological status of donkey milk exposed to different temperature treatments (refrigerated at 4 ℃ for 3 h, frozen at −18 ℃ for 1 day, and pasteurized at 80 ℃ for 10 minutes). The number of molds and yeasts, total viable count, Enterobacteriaceae, Escherichia coli, coagulase-positive Staphylococcus, and the presence of foodborne pathogens, including Salmonella spp., Listeria monocytogenes, and Campylobacter spp. were evaluated to estimate the microbiological status of donkey milk. As expected, freezing and pasteurization reduced the number of tested microorganisms, and no examined foodborne pathogens were detected. The total viable count was reduced by 0.64 log CFU/mL by freezing and by 2.23 log CFU/mL by pasteurization. The total molds and yeasts and total Enterobacteriaceae count were significantly reduced by pasteurization. In conclusion, frozen and pasteurized donkey milk is safer than raw milk. In order to be able to recommend the best temperature treatment before consumption, the effects of freezing and pasteurization on the quality and antibacterial properties of donkey milk have to be further investigated.

Published: December 2023

Abstract
Pollen contains vegetative and generative cells that influence the seed set. Accurate pollen assessments help understand the breeding biology of oilseed rape. In order to evaluate the number of pollen grains in a large number of samples, an effective method should be designed. A new method was established to evaluate the pollen counts of five oilseed rape cultivars. This method mainly relies on 5% sucrose + 0.1% agar solution to suspend the pollen and uses a standard curve corresponding to the absorbance and the number of pollen grains to estimate the number of pollen grains. The linear fit formula of this standard curve was precision, and the R2 value between the pollen count and absorbance reached 0.998. Furthermore, the variation in the pollen counts at three flowering stages and on two kinds of stamens was assessed. The pollen count per flower varied significantly among oilseed rape cultivars and flowering stages (GLM: p<0.001). Moreover, the number of pollen grains on long-stamen anthers was significantly higher than that on short-stamen anthers (GLM: p<0.001). In conclusion, we established a rapid, accurate method for quantifying pollen grains based on absorbance determined in a liquid suspension by light spectroscopy, which is a feasible method. In addition, the number of pollen grains under different physiological conditions also provides basic data for oilseed rape breeding.

Authors: Waseem Mohammad Abdul , Thakur Meena 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
Pesticides are one of the elements that lead to the decline in honeybee populations. Honey bee while foraging collect nectar and pollen from various crops, can be exposed to pesticide residues, which may be transported into their colonies and consumed by the larvae. The objective of this study was to evaluate acute toxicity of fipronil and lambda-cyhalothrin, two commonly detected pesticides within beehives, on the larvae of Apis mellifera. The testes chemicals were given to three-day old larvae. Treatments were administered using a micropipette at the bottom of each chosen comb cell. Each treatment included sixty larvae per dosage and the experiment was repeated three times. Larvae were given only acetone in the control treatment. Fipronil and lambda-cyhalothrin were toxic to the larvae of A. mellifera with LD50 values of 0.163 and 0.83 μg/larvae, respectively after seven days of exposure. The maximum mortality of 81.35% was recorded with a dose of 0.38 μg/larvae in Fipronil, whereas in lambda-cyhalothrin, it was 94.23% with a dose of 1.70 μg/larvae.
Russian False Religious Accusations of Ukrainians
Authors: Krkač Kristijan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The text provides a summary of several months of research on Russian false religious accusations against Ukrainians (Satanists, Satan) and actions (de-Satanization, Holy war, Jihad). Only the essential elements required for the conceptual analysis of the insufficiency of existing explications will be presented. The extensive evidence supporting the existence, falseness, and characteristics of the accusations will be supplied where necessary for the analysis. The analysis requires certain preliminary clarifications, namely: the evidence of the existence, falseness, and other attributes of the Russian accusations (section 1), the description and analysis of the most plausible explanations regarding the motives behind the accusations (section 2), and an argument highlighting the insufficiency of these explanations, which includes logical, factual, clinical, and interpretative objections (section 3). The underlying reason for the insufficiency of explanations can be attributed to various possibilities, some of which include the peculiarity of the phenomenon itself, particularly within the context of Russia, as well as the absence of applicable models for seemingly similar contemporary and historical phenomena such as a lack of democratic practices (section 3.2).
Changes of Polish Democracy and their Impact on Polish Belarusians

Published: December 2023

Abstract
The Belarusian minority in Poland is the second largest national minority, almost entirely concentrated in Podlasie. Qualitative research conducted by our team in 2020 allowed diagnosis of the reasons for the “invisibility” of Belarusians. The Polish state’s policy has always influenced the mood of Belarusians who, despite being passive in creating their own political representation, are often identified as the electorate of left-wing parties. Currently, eight years after the 2015 elections won by the PiS party (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość, Law and Justice), Podlaskie Voivodeship is sometimes referred to as a “bastion of the right”, especially of extreme right-wing forces. The aim of the paper is to determine the impact of the current political situation on the sense of identity of the Belarusian minority by referring to the results of the National Census of 2002 and 2011, as well as the circumstances and results of the 2021 census. The analysis pays attention to factors such as historical policy, religion, and axiology, which determine the “borderland identity”. The research method used is primarily a comparative method, but we also applied the results of interviews based on scenarios, conducted in selected Podlasie municipalities with at least 50% of Polish Belarusians.
When Daces Bite Deeper than Sharks – Does the SMEs Public Subsidy Dose Matter?
Authors: Špetlík Václav , Čadil Jan 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
One of the EU's main priorities is to boost the competitiveness of its member states through subsidies from the European Structural Funds. As SMEs are key elements of competitiveness, their support through various subsidy programmes is important. However, as our research shows, the distribution of funds among SMEs is highly unequal. While some SMEs are very successful in obtaining subsidies, others (especially the smallest ones) are not. Using a robust dataset of Czech companies, we have identified subsidy ‘sharks‘ receiving multiple times more funds, compared to mediocre ‘salmons‘ and lowly supported ‘daces‘. While using counterfactual design with control for a subsidy dose and taking labour productivity as a proxy for competitiveness, we have found out that the subsidy dose really matters. It seems that the higher the dose, the lower the impact on competitiveness. Since, on average, subsidies led to higher competitiveness of beneficiaries, the subsidy daces significantly outpaced sharks. From a policy perspective, limiting support per beneficiary could lead to higher effectiveness of support programmes. This study also highlights the importance of the subsidy dose in evaluation practice and research.
Demand for urban public transport in the Czech Republic
Authors: Vojtěch Horáček , Barbora Slintáková 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The research aims to analyse the influence of selected factors on the demand for urban public transport in the Czech Republic. Urban public transport is important publicly provided service worldwide. In the Czech Republic this means public ownership of transport companies and massive subsidies from municipal budgets. In line with the literature, we tested the effects of the fares, the quality of services offered, the population´s income, car ownership, the urban population´s size and employment level. Using cointegration and regression analyses of data for 2004 to 2019, we constructed unique demand models for selected cities. Our analysis revealed a positive effect of quality, fuel price (as a cost associated with car ownership), and the urban population´s size. In contrast, unemployment and the price of fares have a negative effect on demand. The income effect depends on whether the transport company operates vehicles that cope better with traffic congestion.

Abstract
The spread of COVID-19 has led to the physical closure of universities, accelerating the expansion of online learning methods. West University of Timișoara has adapted to the pandemic context using different online teaching methods, useful also for students that needed to enhance interpersonal relationship skills, such as future social workers. Thus, authors explored social work students’ perceptions regarding the effectiveness of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemics. The main goal of the study was to determine the perceptions of WUT students, Department of Social Work, about their online learning experience, assessing the effectiveness of online learning with four indicators: Interaction with professors and faculty colleagues, Student comfort in online learning, Motivation to learn online, and Advantages and disadvantages of online learning. The data was obtained through an online questionnaire applied to 107 students. The results indicate that students were generally satisfied by the online learning experience, 60.7% feeling satisfied with the way the university made the transition to online education and 45.7% appreciating that teachers were prepared for the online environment. Their perception is influenced by their ability to technically access online courses and the educational outcomes. Over 50% of the students expressed satisfaction regarding communication with teachers and colleagues. An important conclusion of the research is that university education can benefit from this glimpse of online education, which has challenged, but in the end, has adapted to a hybrid, alternative, way of education. However, to have a sustainable education, e-learning tools should be constantly adapted to students’ needs.
