Legal Status of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences
Authors: Gubała Marcin 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
The aim of this article is to analyse the legal status of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences, an entity operating within the system of higher education and science. The study explores the Academy’s origins, its legal form and role it plays within the system of higher education and science, and its rights and obligations under the law. The findings presented in the paper allow for drawing conclusions on the legal status of the Academy, in particular recognising that it is a legal person functioning in the legal form of a (registered) association, and at the same time an organisation directly included by the legislator in the category of entities of the system of higher education and science. The study indicates the reasons justifying the Academy’s inclusion in the catalogue of entities of this system, primarily its exceptional achievements in the field of scientific activities and popularising their results, as well as the universality of undertaken activities, tradition and reputation within the scientific community.

Abstract

Sapindus saponins are potential biosurfactants that can widely be used to replace many chemical cleaning products. This study aimed to investigate the water extraction of saponins from the pericarps of Sapindus mukorossi and enhance the sensory properties of the extract by yeast fermentation. Extraction conditions including temperature, solid-to-liquid ratio, extraction time, and number of extraction times were studied. A yield of 21.4% was obtained by 2 h of extraction at 80 °C with a solid-to-liquid of 1/6 (w/v) and two times. Fermentation was used to purify the Sapindus extract, inoculum amount and fermentation time were optimized. The fermentation by S. cerevisiae (2%) within 4 days significantly improved the color and smell of aqueous extract, turbidity decreased by 75.6%, total sugar content decreased by nearly 50% and saponins content slightly decreased. These results could contribute to the development of industrial–scale production of Sapindus saponins.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Carcinomatosis of the bone marrow is a rare clinical condition characterized by diffuse tumor infiltration of the bone marrow accompanied by hematological abnormalities, including thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). In patients with gastric carcinoma, this association is infrequent. Below we present a case of a 19-year-old female patient with no known pathological history who presented with upper digestive tract bleeding. Upon examination, anemia and thrombocytopenia were documented, with schistocytes in the peripheral blood smear and prolonged coagulation times.
Endoscopic studies indicated a lesion in the Borrmann IV gastric body, and the bone marrow biopsy showed the presence of signet ring cells. Because there was no possibility of systemic therapy, the patient died during hospitalization. This case contributes to the medical literature by describing an unusual presentation of a very frequent pathology.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Provided that the industrial sector is digitized, it presents an opportunity to enhance the safety and quality of work for the workforce, and it should also lead to a positive social impact by reducing the gender gap and promoting equal opportunities for men and women. Gender equality does not mean sameness, but rather equal social status, rights, and obligations, as well as fair and equitable approach. Fundamentals for both prosperity and a sustainable world is established by the above-mentioned. The primary objective of the research described in this article was to examine the impact of Industry 4.0 on gender equality within industrial organizations and how gender equality is perceived by employees of industrial enterprises. The conducted questionnaire survey was focused on the application of the current state of gender equality under the conditions of Industry 4.0 in seven large industrial enterprises in Slovakia. The survey was focused on industrial enterprises. The most important findings of the conducted survey is the facts that women and men generally perceive the issue of gender equality differently, and that the majority of female respondents do not perceive the arrival of Industry 4.0 and the digitization and automation associated with it as a trend with positive impact.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
The effects of sustainability reporting on earnings management was examined in the study extensively. Causal research design was employed in this study. The study population comprises of all the 112 quoted non-financial firms in Nigeria, sample size is 22 listed manufacturing firms purposively selected for the purpose of this study. The study covered 7 years’ period ranging from 2015-2021. The data used for this study were gotten from the annual reports and sustainability reports of the selected firms. Data used for this study were analyzed with the use of descriptive statistics and panel regression analysis. Sustainability reporting was measured in this study by using the social, economic and environmental disclosures index, whereas earnings management was measured using discretionary accrual and real earning. The outcome of the analysis of the study revealed that sustainability reporting has a significant negative effect on discretionary accruals and real earnings evidenced by t-statistics = (-2.31, -2.54, -2.95) and p-values of (0.037, 0.018 and 0.023) respectively for social, environmental and economic report disclosures on discretionary accruals and t-statistics of = (-2.53, -2.23, -2.86) and p-values of (0.012, 0.029 and 0.005) respectively for social, environmental and economic report disclosures on real earnings. The study concludes that the firms with low sustainability disclosure will probably be more involved in earnings management practices than the firms who actively disclosed their sustainability matters in details. The study recommends that firms should ensure they disclose in details the true state of their sustainability activities.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
An analysis of the external pressure coefficient on the surface of a ruin in different flow directions is presented. The ruin has almost cube-like proportions with an open roof plane and a destroyed corner. Flow simulations were performed using 3D Time Steady RANS and compared with experimental results from the boundary layer wind tunnel at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. The optimal turbulence model and internal mesh settings were selected based on their statistical evaluation. For an evaluation of the critical directions of the wind flow around the ruin, the values of the external wind pressure coefficient were obtained from the selected calculation model and settings.
A Study of the Sedimentation and Storage Capacity Depletion of a Reservoir
Authors: Zerihun Yebegaeshet T. 
Published: June 2023

Abstract
Theoretical and empirical equations have previously been proposed to compute the sediment trap efficiency of a reservoir. The empirical equations were developed by analyzing a limited amount of field data for reservoirs in selected areas; thus, their suitability is restricted to reservoirs in regions with similar hydrological characteristics. In this study, a sediment trap-efficiency equation, which accounts for the dynamic behavior of sedimentation and the hydraulic conditions of a reservoir, was deduced from the principle of mass conservation. Using this equation, the approximate analytical expression for the storage capacity of the reservoir was obtained. Both equations were applied to investigate real-life problems involving the impacts of reservoir sedimentation, and their predicted solutions were compared with the field data and the results of the theoretical and empirical equations. The results of this investigation reveal that the proposed equations are capable of simulating the sediment trapping and storage capacity depletion characteristics of large reservoirs, which are a measure of the adverse effect of sedimentation on the performance of hydraulic structures. These equations can potentially be incorporated into a large-scale watershed model for estimating a sediment budget.
Effects of Coarse Aggregate Rap Content on the Mechanical and Shear Performance of HMA by the UPT Method

Published: June 2023

Abstract
In recent years, the use of materials derived from recycled asphalt has attracted the attention of airfield and highway construction researchers. Since the making of these products is economically cost-effective, one idea about how to use them is to use coarse-grained crumbs from recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP), which are agglomerates that can be found in coarse RAP, as a replacement for virgin asphalt.The goal of the current study is to investigate the performance of hot mix asphalt created with various percents of RAP. The punching shear strength of cylindrical specimens versus the penetration of steel rods with fixed and determined diameters into an asphalt specimen is one of the tests used to study the shear strength of asphalt. Other typical tests include a test of the structural strength and resilient modulus with two rectangular and sinusoidal loading shapes, respectively, as well as the specimen's strength against different temperatures of asphalt mixtures containing 10, 20, and 30% coarse-grained RAP. The results show that the resilient strength of the samples with a maximum 30% coarse-grained RAP is within reasonable limits. Furthermore, the semi-sinusoidal loading has a higher resilience modulus than rectangular loading. It is also observed during uniaxial penetration testing (UPT) that increasing the RAP increases the penetration of the steel rod, thereby implying that the shear strength of the asphalt has decreased.

Published: June 2023

Abstract
Orbital measures are not only important parameters in planning ophthalmologic and aesthetic surgical procedures, but also significant anthropology and forensic medicine markers. Using computer tomography and subsequent multiplanar reconstruction we analyzed orbits from 75 Serbian healthy volunteers, examined in the Clinical Hospital of Kragujevac. The subjects were subclassified in age categories, namely 24-39, 40-59, 60-69 and 70-85 years of age, as well as by genders. Taken as a whole population, regardless of age, women had smaller orbital height and width and smaller volumes than men, but similar orbital indices, thus proving once again the importance of the orbital index for comparisons. Additionally, both biorbital and interorbital distances were higher in men than in women. Comparing age groups, biorbital and interorbital distances increased with aging in males, but remained constant in females. The opposite was true for orbital indices which increased significantly with age in females, but remained constant in males. Taken together, our results indicate the presence of age- and gender-related differences in orbital measures within ethnically and geographically homogenous population. It would be interesting to examine subjects from other regions to confirm the patterns reported here.

Published: June 2023

Objective: to analyze the complexity of marginalization faced by the Kokoda Tribe in Sorong, Southwest Papua.

Theoretical framework: The Gramsci's theory of hegemony explains that the dominance of intellectual and moral leadership by the ruling class caused the complexity of marginalization.

Methods: qualitative research with a critical ethnographic approach. Data were found through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The data were processed through the stages of ethnographic discovery, making ethnographic notes, and ethnographic descriptions. Data were analyzed through four stages: domain analysis, taxonomy analysis, component analysis, and theme analysis.

Results and conclusion: the complexity of marginalization of the Kokoda Tribe, including psychological marginalization: negative stereotypes such as destroyers of nature, criminals, and low work ethic. Political marginalization: political monopoly and political victimization. Economic marginalization: jobs that only come from nature, such as stone breaking and selling mangroves. Social marginalization: ostracism and limited information. Educational marginalization: very low education. The vicious circle of marginalization experienced by the Kokoda Tribe is the result of the hegemony of the dominant group's power.

Research implications: Suggestions to the government, academics, and social institutions to help improve the quality of life of the Kokoda Tribe who are independent, dignified, and able to create a sustainable living environment.

Originality: The causes of marginalization are not always external, but can also be internal, such as the domination of indigenous Papuan ruling groups.

Authors: Hardt Felipe Penteado , Santos Alexandre Ferreira , Corazza Marcos Lúcio 
Published: June 2023

Objective: The objective of this study is to analyze and simulate the synthesis of diethyl carbonate (DEC) from the conversion of carbon dioxide and ethanol. The focus is on evaluating the best operating conditions, such as temperature and pressure, using the Aspen Plus software for process simulation. In addition, the study seeks to compare the results obtained with data from the literature and validate the simulation through previous studies.

Methodology: To achieve the objective, thermodynamic models were used, such as the NRTL for the liquid phase and the Peng-Robinson equation state model for the vapor phase. The reactor chosen for the simulation was of the PFR type, and the catalyst used was cerium dioxide. Kinetic parameters and reactions were based on previous studies. The simulation was performed by varying the temperature and pressure of the system, feeding the data into the Aspen Plus software.

Results and Conclusion: The simulation results indicated a maximum DEC production of 4.268 kmol/h, obtained at a temperature of 165°C and pressures of 150, 200 and 250 bar. Ethanol conversion reached 90.58% under these conditions. It was found that atmospheric pressure is not suitable for the reaction to occur. Comparison with previous studies and simulation validation showed satisfactory agreement. Phase analysis along the reactor revealed significant changes in the phase diagram as the reaction progressed. In short, this study contributes to the understanding of the DEC synthesis, highlighting the ideal operational conditions for its sustainable production.

Originality/Value: This study focuses on the production of diethyl carbonate (DEC). It offers an original approach by analyzing the best operating conditions for the synthesis of DEC from carbon dioxide and ethanol. The results obtained demonstrate a maximum production of DEC and a high conversion of ethanol, contributing to the development of sustainable processes and the replacement of toxic compounds with environmentally friendly alternatives. This research is of significant value in expanding existing knowledge about ECD production and its potential impact on the industry.

Published: June 2023

OBJECTIVES: To describe the humanistic and economic burden of informal caregivers of children, adolescents, and young adults newly diagnosed with T1D.
METHODS: An SLR was conducted in MEDLINE®, Embase®, and PsycInfo® (search date: December 7, 2021) to identify clinical and observational studies assessing the humanistic burden experienced by informal caregivers (i.e., persons who provide unpaid care) of children, adolescents, and young adults aged 6 to 21 who were diagnosed with T1D within three months.
RESULTS: Four prospective cohort studies and one randomized controlled trial (RCT) were included. Caregiver sample size ranged from 59 to 191. Duration of T1D was 2 to 6 weeks. Among parents of children aged ≤11 years, mothers had a moderate posttraumatic stress disorder symptom severity (mean score: 11.9; standard deviation [SD]: 7.4), while fathers experienced mild severity (8.4; SD: 6.2; p < 0.001; Posttraumatic Diagnostic Scale). Mothers experienced clinically significant symptoms (defined as score >5) of anxiety (mean score: 7.5), social dysfunction (7.5), and somatic symptoms (5.1; General Health Questionnaire [GHQ]-28). Fathers showed clinically significant anxiety (5.5) and social dysfunction (7.7; GHQ-28) only. Results from the RCT indicated a mean hypoglycemia fear score of 46.6 out of 108 at diagnosis and 34.9 after 14 weeks, with a higher score indicating greater fear (Hypoglycemia Fear Survey-Parents). Parents of children aged >11 years experienced clinically significant social dysfunction (mean score for mothers/fathers: 7.6/7.1) and anxiety (mothers: 5.4; GHQ-28). Parents experienced moderate to extreme diabetes-specific stress (defined as score ≥5; mean score: 6.3; SD: 1.9) at diagnosis, and no to moderate stress (4.5; SD: 2.1) at 3 months. None of the included studies reported on economic burden.
CONCLUSIONS: This SLR highlights parents of children and young adults with newly diagnosed T1D experience caregiver burden, with a greater burden among mothers than fathers. Due to the paucity of evidence, further studies are warranted to better understand the humanistic burden among this group of informal caregivers.
