The Concept of Subordination as an Element of Employment for Digital Platform Workers in the Republic of Lithuania
Authors: Globytė Rūta 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This research analyzes one element – subordination – of employment relations indicated by the case law of the Republic of Lithuania according to which a civil relationship can be understood as an employment relationship. The elements by which independent contractors (self-employed persons) can be considered employees are established in the case law of the Republic of Lithuania but have never been analyzed in the context of platform workers. Therefore, first, the nature and features of the digital platform and the platform worker are analyzed. Second, the definition of subordination is considered in light of the distinction between employment and civil relations. Third, subordination is analyzed vis-a-vis the relations between the platform and the platform worker (independent contractor) and in light of proposed legal acts for platform workers.
Networking Salt Inducible Kinase 1 Regulatory Perturbations on Type 2 Diabetes- Breast Cancer Co-Morbidity Associated Molecular Bridge
Authors: Durrani I.A. , John P. , Bhatti A. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with a 16% elevated risk of breast cancer (BC). However, the underlying molecular mechanisms are yet to be fully understood. T2DM and BC are multifactorial and polygenic in nature, hence it is plausible an interplay between various signalling pathways be wired into the co-morbidity program. Salt inducible kinase 1 (SIK1) was previously validated in silico as a hub gene for T2DM-BC molecular crosstalk. To probe into its functional niche within the co-diseasome, this study constructed and subjected SIK1 associated regulome to network modelling. Gene mutations, and transcription factors (TF), hub proteins and microRNA (miRNA) associated with SIK1 and its protein-protein interactions (PPIs) were extracted from MuTarget and EnrichR, respectively. TF-miRNA regulatory network iteration was studied on Cytoscape, to identify SIK1 associated 143 PPIs. Interestingly, these were enriched for KEGG pathways PI3K-AKT signalling, and pathways in cancer. Furthermore, ClinVar disease terms particularly included T2DM and BC, highlighting their potential implication in co-morbidity. Top hub genes included TP53, EP300, AKT1, CREB1, HIF1A, EGFR, SMARCA4, HDAC2, NFKB1 and HDAC5. Prospective studies on potentiating these hub genes particularly TP53, in context to SIK1 molecular dynamics may provide further insights into the molecular links tying T2DM to BC.
Overview of Attempts to Measure The Gig Economy with Considering The Role of Data in Making Managerial Decisions
Authors: ZELMA Emil 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Gig economy, in the 21st century, defined as an economy model based on digital platforms, is a concept that has been present in the economy for at least a dozen years. Nevertheless, there are still many difficulties in measuring the actual size of this market. Finding a proper method of measuring the gig economy market that has as few weaknesses as possible is a must-have for analyses of the freelance economy and use of this data for the managing team or company. The main purpose of this study is to present various ways of measuring the scale of the gig economy market and to specify – based on the literature, reports, and author’s own research – the advantages and weaknesses of described methods, taking into account the possible causes. A review of available methods and their comparison allows to conclude that there is currently no concept of gig economy measurement that makes it possible fully reliable assessment of the scale of this part of the market. Currently used concepts (e.g., surveys and tax data analysis) allow for an approximate assessment of the scale of the market but are not without limitations.

Published: January 2025

Abstract
The uncontrolled rise in heavy metal pollution due to anthropogenic activities has become a global environmental concern. Lebanon's Ezer forest, dominated by Quercus cerris L., is exposed to vehicular activity along its northern edge due to an unpaved public road and intensive recreational activities in its center. This study aimed to determine the concentrations of metals in Q. cerris leaves and soil across three distinct forest stands: S1 and S2 (polluted sites) and Ctrl (control site). Cadmium, chromium, lead, and aluminium were extracted via the wet digestion method and analyzed by Atomic Absorption Spectrometry. Additionally, hydrogen peroxide levels, the total carbohydrate and phenolic content in Q. cerris leaves, as well as the activity of antioxidant enzymes, were measured. The results revealed that Ezer forest is at risk of heavy metal contamination, with a significant increase in hydrogen peroxide levels at the polluted sites compared to the Ctrl site. The total carbohydrate and phenolic content was notably reduced at the polluted sites, while peroxidase and catalase activity increased, indicating that Q. cerris has developed adaptive mechanisms to cope with oxidative stress. National strategies to raise public awareness and reduce heavy metal contamination in the forest are urgently needed to protect the rare Q. cerris species.

Abstract
The problem of real estate management in the growing environment of electronic and smart investment and sales tools is becoming increasingly important in matters of rebalancing the value of property and calculating the risks arising from implementing the mortgage loan agreement. This study’s purpose is to investigate the prospect of using a model for planning insurance portfolios with an account of the needs of consumers to insure the contract’s lifecycle in the face of rising uncertainty. The basis for the investigation was Kahneman and Tversky’s perspective theory. It allowed the unveiling of the difference between the need to fulfil obligations and the need to preserve wealth. The paper modelled and tested the utility hypothesis of homeownership as well as constructed a value function model for the analysis of insurance needs. To model the function’s expression and approximate the dynamics of the premium functions, the Approximation of One Variable Function tool was used. The assumption on the maximum growth in insurance premiums on equipment and furnishings for homes purchased with mortgages at 30-35% of the contract period was confirmed. It was proved that the utility of outstanding debt increases as the debt is paid.

Authors: Hirdinis M. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This research is intended to determine the risk of investment-decisions moderated by investors’ knowledge and experience on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX). The object of this research is investors who invest on the IDX with an unknown population, and the number of samples in this research is 210 investors. Data analysis in this research uses an alternative method of structural equation modeling (SEM), namely Smart-PLS 3. The results of the research show that risk aversion and risk perception have a significant positive effect on investment decisions. Financial knowledge cannot moderate the influence of risk aversion on investment decisions. Investment experience can moderate the influence of risk perception on investment decisions. So investment experience can strengthen the significant influence of risk perception on investment decisions. Investors of productive age who are educated with good investment experience are able to show a careful attitude in managing risk perceptions regarding investment decisions.
Finance and Inequality in West African Countries: Does Size Matter?
Authors: Yusuf Muhammad-Bashir Owolabi , Mahadi Nur Farhah 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This study delves into the intricate interplay between finance and income inequality within the context of 16 West African nations. It specifically scrutinizes the impact of the size of financial development on income inequality, drawing inspiration from Greenwood and Jovanovic’s (1990) theory. The analysis spans a substantial period, from 2010 to 2020, and relies on panel secondary data. A comprehensive examination of the data employs various estimation techniques, including Pooled Ordinary Least Square, Random Effect Model, Fixed Effect Model, and the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), to elucidate the relationship under investigation. The panel data analysis results strongly favor the Fixed Effect model. Furthermore, both the Fixed Effect model and the GMM reveal substantial support for an inverted U-shaped relationship, demonstrating remarkable robustness with slight variations in significance. Notably, the study highlights the significance of lagged Gini values, GDP per capita growth, trade openness, inflation, government consumption, and infrastructure in influencing income inequality.
УЧЕТ КРАТКОВРЕМЕННЫХ ПОВЫШЕННЫХ ВЫБРОСОВ ПРИ НОРМИРОВАНИИ ВЫБРОСОВ РАДИОАКТИВНЫХ ВЕЩЕСТВ В АТМОСФЕРНЫЙ ВОЗДУХ

Published: January 2025

Современная парадигма нормирования выбросов радиоактивных веществ в атмосферный воздух рассматри вает источники выбросов как непрерывные, с характеристиками, практически не изменяющимися в течение года. На практике на ряде объектов использования атомной энергии в отдельные периоды времени в течение года, кроме непрерывных выбросов, могут происходить один или даже несколько случаев кратковременного повышенного выброса (например, при останове реактора с последующим его разуплотнением для ремонта и (или) перегрузки ядерного топлива). Допустимость таких выбросов в рамках принятой парадигмы не очевидна. В настоящей статье предложено и обосновано определение термина «кратковременный повышенный выброс» применительно к решаемой задаче, и сформулированы необходимые и достаточные условия для обеспечения учета кратковременных выбросов при установлении нормативов допустимых выбросов. Предложен подход к учету кратковременных повышен ных выбросов радиоактивных веществ в атмосферный воздух путем надлежащей корректировки годового выброса.
The modern paradigm of limitation of airborne discharges of radioactive substances considers sources of airborne discharges as continuous, with characteristics that remain virtually unchanged throughout the year. In practice, at some nuclear facilities, in addition to continuous airborne discharges, one or even several cases of short-term increased airborne discharges may occur at certain periods of time during the year (for example, when a reactor is shut down and then decompressed for repairs and/or reloading a nuclear fuel). The admissibility of such airborne discharges of radioactive substances within the accepted paradigm is not obvious. This article proposes and substantiates the definition of а “short-term increased airborne discharge” in relation to the problem being solved and formulates the necessary and sufficient conditions to ensure that short-term airborne discharges are considered when establishing the authorized limits of airborne discharges of radioactive substances. An approach to accounting for short-term increased airborne discharges by properly adjusting the continuous annual airborne discharges is proposed.

Neste texto pretendemos apresentar e analisar as resoluções dos estudantes de uma turma do 4º ano do Ensino Fundamental ao lidarem com problemas do Campo Aditivo a partir de uma avaliação diagnóstica. Desse modo, nos apoiamos a uma metodologia qualitativa, de tipologias, análise documental e de conteúdo, no qual adotamos como corpus de análise o documento "Orientador para sondagem de matemática- Ciclo de Alfabetização e Interdisciplinar- Ensino Fundamental (São Paulo, 2019), da Secretaria Municipal de Educação de São Paulo. Para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa, buscamos aprofundamento teórico nos estudos de Vergnaud (1996; 2009) e de outros pesquisadores que se debruçaram na Teoria Conceitual Aditiva (Magina e Campos, 2004; Nunes, Campos, Magina e Bryant, 2001, entre outros). Nos protocolos analisados, identificou-se que a maioria dos estudantes foram capazes de compreender o cálculo relacional nos problemas. No entanto, as dificuldades surgiram principalmente na execução do cálculo numérico, especialmente na operação de subtração com reserva. Isso sugere que os estudantes podem ter uma compreensão conceitual dos problemas, mas enfrentam obstáculos na aplicação prática dos algoritmos matemáticos.

Published: January 2025

Social studies is still considered a boring subject, which has an impact on students' low learning independence. Weak learning independence in students is caused by the learning models applied by educators which are less varied, thus affecting the desire to learn, sense of responsibility, self-confidence and initiative to take part in lessons. One effort to overcome this problem requires innovation and new breakthroughs in packaging or delivering social studies subject matter to students so that learning activities become more effective, one of which is by using active learning type three stage fishbowl decision. The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of active learning with the three stage fishbowl decision type on the learning independence of junior high school students in social studies learning and to determine the increase in learning independence among students with the active learning model with the three stage fishbowl decision type. This type of research uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group pretest and posttest design. The population of this research was class VIII students at SMPN 3 Garut. Samples were taken using a purposive sampling technique with 1 experimental class and 1 control class. The instruments used in this research were test question sheets, observation sheets, and questionnaires. Based on the results of the research conducted, the initial abilities of the two groups resulted in the same abilities. Meanwhile, for the final test results, the Asymp.Sig.2-tailed value was 0.000 and α was 0.05, meaning 0.000 < 0.05, so the HO was rejected. It can be concluded that there are significant differences or learning using an effective model to apply. Students' independent learning towards the three stage fishbowl decision type active learning model used in the experimental class produced a very good response. Increased learning independence of students in each indicator amounted to 1046 Desire/desire to learn, 905 initiative, 888 self-confidence, and 615 responsibility very well.
