The Turów coal mine international dispute as a determinant of the cross-border integration of inhabitants of the Polish-Czech border
Authors: Wróblewski Łukasz , Boháč Artur , Böhm Hynek 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The crisis around the operation of the Turów coal mine and its impact on cross-border relations in the Polish-Czech borderlands is examined in this article. The genesis of the international dispute and its course is analysed on the basis of international relations and border studies theories. Moreover, the specific cross-border relations and asymmetries in the area are studied. Then, the authors discuss the methodology and results of the research through questionnaires and formulate conclusions drawn from the research conducted by the Polish-Czech research team in 2022. The results prove that the nearly two-year Polish-Czech dispute over the Turów mine hurt the cross-border activity of the inhabitants of the Polish-Czech border. Despite alarming media news, this impact was weak and short-lived. It ultimately did not significantly impact the cross-border integration of the inhabitants or cause a deterioration of relations between the Polish and Czech sides of the Euroregion Neisse-Nisa-Nysa. The crisis was caused by the lack of adequate communication between local governments from Poland and the Czech Republic and insufficient commitment from the local and regional authorities. Another cause was the poor integration of residents in the border area, although the cross-border cooperation epitomised by the Euroregion Neisse-Nisa-Nysa is not poorly rated.
The Diaspora’s influence on Regional Innovation Performance – a new theoretical and empirical approach toward understanding it
Authors: Cepoi Victor 
Published: December 2023

Abstract
The occurrences of “brain-gain” and “brain-loss” are significant concerns for both the countries experiencing the departure of intellectual talent and those that ultimately receive such individuals. The phenomenon holds significance for stakeholders and their policy recommendations on social, economic and political areas. Moreover, there exists extensive literature elucidating the reasons behind certain nations encountering the phenomenon of “brain loss” while simultaneously observing the return of individuals to their homelands. Simultaneously, there is a limited amount of research conducted regarding the observation and comprehension of the activities in which the returning diaspora is involved post their return. Even more, there is less research done on the way the return diaspora is influencing regional innovation performance. To enhance comprehension, this article introduces a novel theoretical and empirical approach aimed at understanding the engagement of the returning diaspora in the innovation process and its impact on regional innovation performance. The novelty of this approach consists in the combination of classical theories on returning diaspora, Regional Innovation Performance and Social Fields Theory. As a result, the focus will be on the combination of the three social forces (institutions, networks, and cognitive frames) and returning diaspora. The evaluation of diaspora’s impact on regional innovation performance primarily hinges on the combination and comprehension of these two factors. However, this article serves as a theoretical proposal aimed at enhancing understanding of the phenomenon and establishing a model for systematic data collection. The empirical results could lead to policy recommendations for various stakeholders and bring improvements for helping and encouraging innovation activities in the region.

ABSTRAK. Selama pandemi COVID-19, semua aktivitas harus dilakukan di rumah. Hal ini berarti juga membuat kita semakin jauh dari alam. Tuntutan untuk tetap produktif harus juga diimbangi dengan kesehatan dan kenyamanan berhuni. Perancangan hunian dengan pendekatan desain biofilik dapat memberikan pengalaman penghuni untuk merasakan ruang dan alam, baik secara langsung maupun tidak langsung. Metode kualitatif yang dilakukan melalui kajian literatur tentang desain biofilik dilakukan sebagai dasar perancangan hunian. Dengan demikian, implementasi desain biofilik tersebut seharusnya tidak hanya mengakomodasi kebutuhan berhuni, namun juga harus mampu menciptakan kualitas ruang dan nilai pada sebuah pola desain. Metode perancangan dilakukan melalui analisis kebutuhan ruang, studi preseden dan elaborasi atribut desain biofilik pada rancangan. Penerapan prinsip arsitektur biofilik terwujud melalui karakteristik ruang, bentuk ruang dan elemen ruang. Melalui pendekatan desain ini, interaksi penghuni, bangunan dan alam dengan optimal dapat mempercepat kenormalan baru. Sisi lain manfaat dari model perancangan ini, penghuni tetap dapat merasakan kesehatan dan kenyamanan berhuni. Kata kunci: desain biofilik; karakteristik ruang; bentuk ruang; elemen ruang; ABSTRACT. During the COVID-19 pandemic, all activities must be carried out at home, which makes us further away from nature. Productivity, health, and well-being must be in balance. The biophilic design approach of dwelling allows occupants to experience space and nature, both directly and indirectly. The qualitative method conducted through a literature review on biophilic design is the foundation for housing design. Therefore, implementing a biophilic strategy should accommodate occupancy needs and create spatial quality and the value of the design pattern. The design method is carried out by analyzing space requirements, evaluating case studies, and elaborating on biophilic design attributes. Applying these principles is manifested through characteristics of space, forms of play, and play elements. The outcome of the interaction of residents, buildings, and nature will accelerate the new normal; permanent residents can experience health and well-being.

PENGATURAN FISIK PADA RUANG PUBLIK SEBAGAI PENCEGAH TERJADINYA PERILAKU NEGATIF
Authors: Almadina Alif Faricha , Widyastuti Dyah Titisari 
Published: December 2023

ABSTRAK. Rasa aman merupakan salah satu kebutuhan dasar manusia yang harus dimiliki pada setiap aktivitas. Aktivitas manusia tidak hanya terjadi pada ruang personal tetapi juga pada ruang publik. Ruang publik dalam perspektif arsitektur merupakan ruang bersama sebagai ruang netral yang dihadirkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan masyarakat. Sifat netral yag dimiliki oleh ruang publik menyebabkan terjadinya keberagaman interaksi dan aktivitas dari berbagai kalangan masyarakat pada suatu lokasi yang sama. Namun, aktivitas di dalam ruang publik tidak selalu berlangsung dengan aman. Hal ini disebabkan oleh adanya peluang terjadinya perilaku negatif oleh sebagian orang. Terlebih lagi apabila pengaturan setting fisik suatu ruang publik tidak dirancang dengan baik. Hostile architecture dan CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) merupakan salah dua strategi desain yang mengupayakan penekanan resiko terjadinya perilaku yang tidak diinginkan. Penerapan hostile architecture dan CPTED melibatkan pengaturan elemen setting fisik yang dapat menekan resiko tersebut. Melalui metode content analysis, perilaku negatif diklasifikasi dan dianalisis keterkaitannya dengan upaya penerapan prinsip hostile architecture dan CPTED sebagai bentuk pencegahan terjadinya perilaku negatif melalui pengaturan elemen setting fisik di dalamnya. Dalam penelitian ini dihasilkan kategori elemen setting fisik dalam ruang publik yang dapat diatur berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip hostile architecture dan CPTED sebagai bentuk penekanan resiko terjadinya perilaku negatif. Kata kunci: pengaturan fisik, ruang publik, perilaku, hostile architecture, CPTED ABSTRACT. Safety is one of the needs humans must have while doing activities. Human activities can be done everywhere, either in personal or public spaces. From an architectural perspective, public spaces were granted as a third place that provides human needs. Public space had to be neutral for all people. This principle of public space established diverse activities and interactions between them. However, only some of these activities always go well. The possibility of negative behavior by some people could be a cause. Hostile architecture and CPTED (Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design) are design strategies that reduce unwanted behavior risk. The application of hostile architecture and CPTED involved the elements' arrangement of a physical setting in a public space. Through the content analysis method, undesirable behaviors were analyzed and integrated with the principles of hostile architecture and CPTED as preventions from the circumstance through elements of the physical setting. In this study, the arrangements of physical locations in public spaces based on the principles of hostile architecture and CPTED were initiated to suppress the appearance of undesirable behavior.

Published: December 2023

ABSTRAK. Ruang terbuka publik kota memiliki aksesibilitas yang sangat tinggi sehingga memudahkan berbagai aktivitas muncul walaupun tidak sesuai dengan fungsi ruang tersebut diantaranya aktivitas berdagang. Aktivitas berdagang yang tumbuh pada ruang terbuka publik menimbulkan tumbuhnya ruang pasar informal yang sering mendapatkan tekanan dari lingkungan. Upaya pedagang pasar informal untuk bertahan dikaji melalui atribut yang terdapat di dalam ruang pasar tersebut. Untuk melakukan penelitian ini diperlukan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan studi kasus untuk menjawab “how” dan “why” terhadap fenomena yang terjadi. Hasil penelitian ini didapat bahwa Atribut Adaptasi bukan hanya menjadi bagian dari atribut saja melainkan membantu atribut lain dalam upaya kebertahanan pedagang pasar informal. Kemudian didapati bahwa Atribut Legabilitas tidak ditemui pada ruang pasar informal. Suatu temuan yang menarik dari penelitian ini bahwa selain atribut Weisman juga ditemukan faktor “keahlian” dalam kebertahanan pasar informal. Kata kunci: aktivitas, atribut, pasar, pedagang, ruang publik ABSTRACT. Urban public open spaces have very high accessibility, making it easier for various activities to emerge even though they are not by the function of the area, including trading activities. Trading activities that grow in public open spaces lead to the growth of informal market spaces that often get pressure from the environment. The efforts of informal market traders to survive are studied through the attributes contained in the market space. A qualitative research method with a case study approach is needed to answer the "how" and "why" of the occurring phenomena. This study found that the Adaptation Attribute is not only part of the attribute but helps other attributes in the survival efforts of informal market traders. Then, it was found that the Legibility Attribute was not found in the casual market space. An interesting finding from this research is that in addition to Weisman's attributes, the "expertise" factor is also found in the survival of informal markets.

Determinants of Asymmetric Costs In Soya Production
Authors: Reis Júlia Matias , Ferreira Mônica Aparecida , De Carvalho Hugo Leonardo Menezes 
Published: December 2023

Purpose: The study aimed to analyze the determinants of the asymmetric behavior of fixed costs in soybean production.

Theoretical background: Although previous research indicates the presence of asymmetric costs (sticky costs theory) in the agricultural sector and, specifically, in soybean production, there is still a gap in testing which determinants explain this asymmetric condition.

Methodology: The study used a quantitative methodology, with the estimation of a multiple linear regression model and parametric correlation tests, using data on costs, production capacity, production quantity and soybean prices for the period from 2009 to 2022.

Results and conclusion: The results showed that the capacity and price factors were statistically significant in explaining the asymmetry of fixed costs. Price was also significant in explaining total and variable costs, which were also shown to be asymmetrical by the models used.

Research implications: The study advances in verifying the determining factors of asymmetry and not just in pointing out the behavior of costs in this sector, as previous literature has done.

Originality/value: The approach of the work and its results contribute to expanding empirical research related to the assumptions of the sticky costs theory in a relevant economic activity.

Abstract

The LESON application, now renamed EDVISOR, is a mobile-based application devoted to recording the learning atmosphere and supporting classroom observation supervision activities. Although it has undergone updates, previous research revealed that there are still 24 problems in the application that need further improvement and development. Usability Testing method was chosen to be able to identify problems more deeply and understand the user experience in using the application. This research involved 10 students and 3 lecturers who were given a special task to test the application. Testing was carried out twice, namely before and after design improvements were made. The results of observations and interviews in the initial test revealed 42 new problems, which then became the basis for recommendations for design improvements. Design improvements resulted in a prototype that was close to the final result of the application. After the design improvements, the prototype was tested again with the same users as the initial test. The test results showed an increase in application usability, with an increase in completion rate of 13.19%, an increase in efficiency of 0.016 goals/sec, and an increase in satisfaction of 1.21.

Published: December 2023

Objectives:
The present research aims to look into the variations in levels of plasma and saliva melatonin with the sleep-wake cycle in healthy individuals and its correlation with the levels in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) patients and to explore the possibility of the use of plasma and saliva, as reliable, minimally-invasive/ non-invasive, and biofluids for measuring the levels of melatonin as biomarkers for the diagnosis of OSCC.

Material and Methods:
This comparative case–control prospective study was conducted on histopathologically proven 10 patients suffering from OSCC (Group II) and 10 healthy individuals (Group I) belonging to the age group of 25–65 years. The antecubital fossa region was used to draw peripheral venous blood, which was then centrifuged, and the plasma was kept at −200C. Using the passive drool technique, approximately 5 mL of unstimulated saliva samples were obtained, and the samples were kept at −200C. Both the samples were assayed as early as possible.

Results:
The result obtained was that the salivary and plasma melatonin levels were much higher during evening hours than morning interval in the healthy group (Group I). A similar trend was shown in Group II, compared to patients with OSCC, healthy patients have much higher levels of melatonin in their saliva and plasma.

Conclusion:
Hence, we conclude that the evaluation of the salivary melatonin level of patients suffering from OSCC may be considered reliable as well as non-invasive methods in the early diagnosis of OSCC. Saliva may be considered more advantageous over plasma for being non-invasive, less technique sensitive procedure, and having good patient compliance.
BLAST INJURI. ANESTHESIA AND INTRAOPERATIVE INTENSIVE CARE AT THE EARLY HOSPITAL STAGE (ADVANCE NOTICE)
Authors: GRITSENKO S.N. , GAVRILYUK V.P. , BRIK B.A 
Published: December 2023

Summary. Explosive injury is a combat multifactorial injury that occurs as a result of the combined damaging effect on the human body of a shock wave, gas jets, fire, toxic products of explosion and combustion, ammunition casing fragments, secondary projectiles. The hostilities taking place in Ukraine present many questions to anesthesiologists regarding the provision of medical care to victims of blast injuries. This type of injury is often associated with damage to 2-4 anatomical sites and sometimes more. Moreover, most of the hospital care is provided in civilian hospitals located close to fighting.
The aim of study. The choice of anesthesia technology and intraoperative intensive therapy in victims of explosive trauma depending on the severity of the explosive trauma and the condition of the patients.
Material and method. During the period March-December 2022, 226 (195 men, 31 women) patients of explosive injuries were admitted to the Zaporizhzhya Regional Clinical Hospital and assessed according to the GKO scale (standardized system for assessing the severity of injuries and the condition of patients.
The results. Before the operation, there was normotension and moderate tachycardia. However, in 25 patients, the systolic blood pressure was less than 90 mm Hg, which required the use of sympathomimetics and infusion therapy with crystalloids and colloids. During the operation, sympathomimetics continued to be used in 42 patients. Norepinephrine was used in 37 patients in a dose of 0.1 to 0.4 μg/kg/min. Phenylephrine – in 5 patients in bolus doses of 20-100 μg.
The indicators of systolic, diastolic, pulse, mean arterial pressure and heart rate at the stage of completion of the operation did not differ significantly from the initial ones. Before the operation, the patients had subcompensated metabolic and respiratory acidosis, hyperoxemia, and increased lactate concentration. At the stage of the operation, the phenomenon of metabolic acidosis increased, as evidenced by a significant increase in the BE indicator. Respiratory acidosis and hyperoxemia persisted. The concentration of lactate in the blood decreased significantly, on average by 21 %, but on average was (4.1±0.1) mmol/l.
Conclusion. Assessing the severity of the patients on the GKO scale allows you to choose the anesthesia technology considering the influence of the drugs used for anesthesia on hemodynamics. At the stages of treatment of the patients of the blast trauma, it was possible to maintain normotension. Mixed decompensated acidosis and increased lactate at the end of the operation indicate oxygen debt.
