Abstract
The current study aims to provide insights into the drying of agro products, with a specific focus on Capsicum annum L. (red pepper). Among open sun drying (OSD), polyethylene bag drying (PBD), and polycarbonate sheet drying (PCSD), PCSD was efficient requiring around 24 hours with a maximum yield of 350 g of dried product per 1000 g of supplied fresh peppers. The PCSD dried chili also showed greater retention of antioxidant markers (capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin) than OSD and PBD as evidenced by UV-VIS spectroscopy. Additionally, the PCSD dried chili demonstrated highest antioxidant potential via ABTS (2, 2′-Azinobis-3-Ethylbenzothiazoline-6-Sulfonic Acid). Interestingly, the presence of various aromatic compounds and other chemical groups, indicated the occurrence of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin in each drying method used. The study suggests that PCSD sheet drying is an efficient and cost-effective approach that can conserve the antioxidant potential of agro products such as red pepper.

Abstract
In the recent study, the entomopathogenic fungus, Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae against wheat aphid species in field conditions to check the insecticidal effect of entomophathogenic fungi were used to evaluate their pathogenecity against adults of different aphid species i.e., Schizaphis graminum, Rhopalosiphum padi, Brevicoryne brassicae and Lipaphis erysimi, and their natural enemies of crops. Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae were found effective at all concentrations i.e., 1×106, 1×107 and 1×108 cfu/ml on all aphid species, but the uppermost concentration (1×108 cfu/ml) provided maximum control within a short period of time. B. bassiana concentration (1×108 cfu/ml) proved to be lethal to wheat aphid species after the 3rd day. Mortality of wheat aphids were observed at maximum highest concentration of 1×108 cfu/ml were in range of 100% at 8th day of treatment for different aphid species treated at various concentrations. M. anisopliae (1×108 cfu/ml) showed excellent mortality 85% and 84% at 5th and 6th day respectively, against wheat aphid species. In conclusion, the use of Beauveria bassiana and Metarhizium anisopliae as biopesticides in agriculture is a sustainable and environmentally friendly approach to control insects’ pests.
Theoretical Aspects of Turbulent Flows in Pipeline
Authors: Tkachuk Oleksandr A. , Gerasimov Ievgenii G. , Shevchuk Olha V. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The paper presents the results of theoretical studies on turbulent water motion in pipelines, obtained by the analysis of experimental data regarding hydraulic patterns of turbulent flows. The authors suggest to evaluate the relevant parameters on the basis of the molecular and turbulent viscosity indicators, with the introduction of the conditional relative thickness of the boundary layer on the pipeline walls into the calculations. On this basis, the authors specified semi-empirical relationships for the distribution of averaged velocities in the pipe cross-sections, and revealed new theoretical relationships between the main parameters of turbulent pipe flows. The research confirmed the adequacy of these relationships given the good agreement of the calculated averaged velocity values with the experimental data which formed a basis for the current standards for hydraulic calculations of water supply pipes. For hydraulically smooth pipes, the authors derived an explicit dependence of the hydraulic friction coe cient on the Reynolds number, which almost completely corresponds to the well-known Prandtl-Colebrook equation that has an implicit form. The presented research allowed to determine numerical values and analytical relationships between parameters, which enabled evaluating turbulent flows in hydraulically smooth pipes in a new way.
The Involvement of Consuls and Consular Officers in Evidence Gathering under Articles 177 § 1b(2), 586 § 1, and Article 177 § 1 in Conjunction with Articles 582 § 1 and 581 § 1 of the Polish Code of Criminal Procedure
Authors: Sowiński Piotr Krzysztof 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This article explores the involvement of members from both Polish and foreign consular posts in the process of taking evidence in criminal proceedings. Specifically, it examines the participation of Polish consular officers in the interrogation of witnesses and defendants, as outlined in Article 177 § 1b(2) of the Polish Code of Criminal Procedure. Additionally, the article discusses interrogation of these parties by consuls acting on behalf of Polish courts. Governed by both Polish and international law, this process is situated within the realm of international criminal proceedings and consular law. The article also delves into the right to decline to give evidence, a privilege granted to members of consular posts based on their official functions. In this context, we introduce the concept of ‘consular secrecy’, which can be likened to professional secrecy or secrecy associated with the official roles of certain individuals.
The Issuance of the European protection order
Authors: Stefański Ryszard A. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
This scientific article researches the procedure for issuing a European protection order by a Polish court or public prosecutor, resulting in the enforcement of protective, penal, or probation measures by a competent judicial or equivalent authority in a Member State of the European Union. These measures require refraining from staying in certain environments or places and avoiding contact with or proximity to certain people. This article does not cover provisions concerning the execution of such an order by the competent authority of a Member State. The main research objective is to demonstrate the importance of this measure in continuing the protection of the aggrieved in another Member State. The research findings are original and primarily national in scope but also relevant to other countries due to their relation to an EU instrument. This article analyses the essence of the European protection order, its issuance requirements, including the ruling on the aggrieved’s protection measure, necessity of issuing the order, aggrieved’s motion, issuance proceedings, authorised issuing authorities, ruling form, forum for issuance, issuance mode, right to appeal, order transmission, and information obligations. The paper is significant for its in-depth dogmatic analysis and substantial theoretical content and is practical in guiding interpretation of the requirements for the application of this measure and the issuance procedure.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
This paper presents collaborative interdisciplinary research on the mixed natural and cultural heritage of the former Iron Curtain in the Czech town of Aš. Sociocultural anthropology, history, and geobotanical and environmental studies were the main disciplines that were equally involved. The former Iron Curtain is one of Europe’s longest linear landscape features and an exceptional symbol of European history. The researched area covers the Czech-Bavarian and Czech-Saxonian borders, mainly the Aš spur. The research investigates the impacts of the long-term existing isolated strip of land of the Iron Curtain both on natural and sociocultural levels. It further examines the post-socialist transformation of the given area and the elements and processes of redefining local memory and identity through handling the local Iron Curtain heritage.
Symbols in Magic: Tools for Transforming Reality
Authors: Markéta Muczková Mgr. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The following paper focuses on the role and function of symbols in magical practice. The first part explains the symbol as a semiotic term with all its fundamental features, including the necessary function and condition of ordinary communication. The next section deals with symbols that fulfill the essential role of transforming reality within the framework of magical practice. Examples of sigil magic, Tarot, and amulets explain the paradigm, which uses symbolic language as a mandatory condition for its existence and simultaneously ignores the shared awareness of the origin of the symbol as a constitutional element of its functionality. This paper demonstrates how the symbols used in everyday communication and the symbols used in magical practice are two different entities performing distinct kinds of function, and primarily that they differ in requirements for being created and functional.
From the history of semiotics in the USSR: Georgy Kh. Shingarov
Authors: Ptitsyna Irina B. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Georgy Kh. Shingarov is one of the few philosophers of the Soviet period who studied the conditioned reflex as a sign system. The originality of his theory, created in accordance with the provisions of dialectical materialism, is shown. He considered the signal in the model of the conditioned reflex as a sign, explaining its formation by the process of dialectical ‘sublation’, i.e. the transformation of a material unconditioned stimulus into an idealized object, devoid of the properties of materiality, but which is the result of the manifestation of matter. The socio-political conditions that determined the features of this theory are described.
A Survey of Semeiotic as Practice of Reasoning
Authors: Ketner Kenneth L. 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
From which principal factors did Charles Peirce‘s scientific theory of Semeiotic evolve? How are those components different from foundational features in theories of semiotics.
A major difference is shown in the fact that Semeiotic, a scientific theory of natural Semeioses, arises from Peirce‘s work in logic, especially the logic of relations. A semeiosis is precisely a relational phenomenon, thus a logic of relations is an essential part of the theory of Semeiotic. This essay will provide a roadmap for the development of Semeiotic from Peirce‘s logical researches. The essay concludes with some examples for use of Semeiotic for objective study of the activity of semeioses within various areas of scientific research.

Role of Geographic Information Systems in analysing the selection of cichociemni drop zones based on a case study of the “Mewa 1” drop zone
Authors: Polończyk Agnieszka , Lupa Michał , Leśniak Andrzej 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The article discusses the possible use of GIS tools in detailed spatial analysis of materials and old maps showing the activities of Polish soldiers during World War II. The research was based on information regarding the military operations of the “Silent and Unseen” paratroopers (in Polish: cichociemni) in the General Government (GG), available in the archives of the Polish Underground Movement Study Trust (in Polish: Studium Polski Podziemnej) in London, as well as on prewar maps of the Polish Military Geographical Institute (in Polish: Wojskowy Instytut Geograficzny – WIG). The authors present the historical background to, and important details of the cichociemni airdrops. They also describe how these operations were organised and suitable airdrop sites selected. The main part of the article is devoted to an analysis and assessment of the extent to which selected drop sites of the cichociemni complied with the criteria contained in the instructions of the Staff of the Commander-in-Chief in London (in Polish: Sztab Naczelnego Wodza w Londynie). The article presents a case study of the “Mewa 1” drop zone located in the GG. The authors used calibrated WIG maps, which they then converted into vector versions. They also made use of modern DTM and a slope map created on its basis. All the criteria for selecting drop zones included in the historical instructions were analysed. Based on the example of the drop zone in question, as well as on the authors’ own spatial analyses, it was concluded that this particular drop zone met some of the criteria formulated in the guidelines of the Commander-in-Chief’s Staff, but only partially met others or failed to meet them at all. In addition, the authors noted a number of limitations regarding these criteria. For example, they did not take into account the locations of the occupiers’ garrisons or anti-aircraft positions, which are particularly important for the success of airdrop operations. The analyses and the results thereof constitute the first study of the armed operations of the cichociemni in GG areas using digital maps and spatial analyses based on GIS.
Analysis of PMSM Short-Circuit Detection Systems Using Transfer Learning of Deep Convolutional Networks
Authors: Skowron Maciej 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Modern permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) diagnostic systems are now combined with advanced artificial intelligence techniques, such as deep neural networks. However, the design of such systems is mainly focussed on a selected type of damage or motor type with a limited range of rated parameters. The application of the idea of transfer learning (TL) allows the fully automatic extraction of universal fault symptoms, which can be used for various diagnostic tasks. In the research, the possibility of using the TL idea in the implementation of PMSM stator windings fault-detection systems was considered. The method is based on the characteristic symptoms of stator defects determined for another type of motor or mathematical model in the target diagnostic application of PMSM. This paper presents a comparison of PMSM motor inter-turn short circuit fault detection systems using TL of a deep convolutional network. Due to the use of direct phase current signal analysis by the convolutional neural network (CNN), it was possible to ensure high accuracy of fault detection with simultaneously short reaction time to occurring fault. The technique used was based on the use of a weight coefficient matrix of a pre-trained structure, the adaptation of which was carried out for different sources of diagnostic information.
Design Improvement of Permanent Magnet Motor Using Single- and Multi-Objective Approaches
Authors: Cvetkovski Goga , Petkovska Lidija 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Optimisation, or optimal design, has become a fundamental aspect of engineering across various domains, including power devices, power systems, and industrial systems. Engineers and academics have been actively involved in optimising these systems to achieve better performance, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Optimising electrical machines, including permanent magnet motors, is a complex task. It often involves solving intricate problems with various parameters and constraints. Engineers use different optimisation methods to tackle these challenges. Depending on the specific requirements and goals of a design project, engineers may employ either single-objective or multi-objective optimisation approaches. Single-objective optimisation focuses on optimising a single objective, while multi-objective optimisation considers multiple conflicting objectives. In optimisation, objective functions are mathematical representations of what needs to be optimised. In this case, optimising the efficiency of the motor, reducing cogging torque, and minimising the total weight of active materials are defined as possible objective functions. Genetic algorithms are nature based algorithms that are commonly used in engineering to find optimal solutions to complex problems, including those with multiple objectives. In this paper, after conducting optimisations using different objective functions and methods, a comparative analysis of the results is performed. This helps in understanding the trade-offs and benefits of different design choices. Finite element analysis (FEA) is a computational method used to analyse the physical properties and behaviours of complex structures and systems. In this case, FEA is used to validate and analyse selected optimisation solutions to ensure they meet the desired characteristics and parameters. Overall, this work demonstrates the interdisciplinary nature of engineering, where mathematics, computer science (for optimisation algorithms), and physics (for FEA) converge to improve the performance and efficiency of electrical machines. It also underscores the importance of considering multiple objectives in design processes to find optimal solutions that strike a balance between competing goals.
Disruptively regional: How women in Regional, Rural and Remote communities ‘imagine’ with and through digital and social media
Authors: BRABAZON Tara , EWART Jacqueline 
Published: January 2024

Too often, regional, rural and remote cities and towns are configured in deficit to the metropolis. As local newspapers have closed, how are local stories gathered, understood, published and disseminated? The objective of this article probes how women leaders in the media industries deploy their lived experiences to re/shape, reimagine and sustain regional, rural and remote life through digitizing community leadership. We explore how technology provides new opportunities to share stories of women’s strength and capacity to build new pathways between information and citizens. Using original interviews, we investigate how women in these locations use the internet and digitization to share stories of their communities and culture to metropolitan environments in the absence of truly local news outlets, bypassing traditional news media and taking control of how their stories are told. This approach to the research demonstrates that alternative modes of ‘writing back’ are emerging. Certainly, analogue injustices overlay digital inequalities. However, the opportunities and potential for resistance and interventions are revealed and disseminated the courage, direction and gumption of women summoning a different mode of media leadership that is critiques and transforms traditional models of ownership, production, and consumption. The implications of this paper are important, as we offer a fresh model to think about regional media and regional media leadership. Yet the value of this research transcends media, summoning a model of social, cultural, and economic transformation, through digitization, disintermediation and deterritorialization.

Published: January 2024

Mimosa pudica L. has been used as a traditional medicine to treat leprosy, dysentery, burning sensation, asthma, inflammation, fatigue, and blood diseases. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction and two compounds protocatechuic acid and syringic acid of Mimosa pudica L. against methylglyoxal (MGO)- induced glucotoxicity. The inhibitory effects of EtOAc fraction and two compounds of Mimosa pudica L. on glucotoxicity in Human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) and inhibit Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) formation and also breaking effects on MGO-AGEs were measured. Our results demonstrated that EtOAc fraction and two bioactive compounds protocatechuic acid and syringic acid of Mimosa pudica L. leaves inhibit MGO-induced AGEs formation, and break down MGO-AGEs, resulting in the reduction of glucotoxicity. EtOAc fraction and two bioactive compounds protocatechuic acid and syringic acid are promised in effective in preventing or treating MGO-induced endothelial dysfunction.

Authors: Harper Matthew B. , Ross Elizabeth , MacLaine James , Padwa Bonnie L. , Aldosari Muath 
Published: January 2024

Objectives:
The objective of this study was to determine if mandibular canine development is an indicator of maxillary cleft site canine development.

Material and Methods:
A cross-sectional chart review with analysis of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging of patients aged 7–12 with a unilateral complete cleft lip and palate who received alveolar bone graft surgery from January 2009 to January 2019. Three-dimensional (3D) measurements of the cleft site canine and ipsilateral mandibular canine were taken. A two-dimensional image was created from the 3D CBCT to simulate a traditional panoramic radiograph. Descriptive statistics and multivariable linear regression analyses were conducted, adjusting for age and gender. Pearson and Spearman correlations were calculated. The main outcome measure was the mandibular canine crown-to-root ratio (C:RR) compared to that of the maxillary cleft site canine C:RR.

Results:
Five hundred and thirteen patients were reviewed, of which 78 met the inclusion criteria. Adjusting for age and gender, every unit change in mandibular canine C:RR corresponds to 0.69 (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.42–0.95) change in maxillary canine C:RR, up to a mandibular canine C:RR of 3. Beyond a mandibular C:RR of 3, no change in the maxillary canine C:RR was observed (−0.02; 95%CI = −0.27–0.24). Pearson correlation coefficient was r = 0.65, and the Spearman correlation was P = 0.75.

Conclusion:
Mandibular canine C:RR is correlated to maxillary cleft site canine C:RR when the mandibular canine C:RR is ≤3.

Authors: Chen Yu , Mei Yuan 
Published: January 2024

Objectives: This study was designed to analyze entrepreneurial competency and enhance college students' abilities in innovation and entrepreneurship. Methods: Ten relevant factors were summarized based on the interview records. Relevant data were collected through questionnaires and tested for reliability and validity. The effectiveness of the ten factors on entrepreneurial competency was tested using the regression analysis method. Then, an analytic hierarchy process model of entrepreneurial competency was established to calculate the relevant weights. Findings: The data collected from the survey questionnaire had sufficient reliability and validity. The ten relevant factors were effective in developing entrepreneurial competence. The weight distribution in the analytic hierarchy model indicated that entrepreneurial knowledge was most important, followed by entrepreneurial ability, and intrinsic potential was least significant. Novelty:The novelty of this article lies in not only verifying the effectiveness of relevant factors through regression analysis but also further analyzing the weight of these factors through an analytic hierarchy process.
