The Development of Electronic Banking Services in Poland in the Era of the COVID-19 Pandemic using the Example of PKO Bank Polski
Authors: Feruś Anna 
Published: December 2022

Abstract

Research background: The COVID-19 pandemic has changed consumer preferences and their use of banking services. Consequently, the propensity of bank customers to use electronic banking has increased. Banks, in order to meet customer expectations, develop and improve the most popular channels of distribution of their services, offering increasingly advanced technological solutions that provide the customer with a high level of security.

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to analyze and evaluate the functioning of electronic banking in PKO Bank Polski in the era of the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic.

Research methodology: The current situation regarding the functioning of e-banking in Poland in the era of the pandemic with particular emphasis on the development of electronic banking services at Bank PKO Bank Polski was investigated. Development trend models were used for the study, and then applied to forecast the changes that will occur in the electronic banking market in Bank PKO Bank Polski at the end of 2022 and in 2023. The analysis was carried out using the STATISTICA 13.3 program.

Results: Banks, including PKO Bank Polski, will increasingly need to develop their digital infrastructure and continue to innovate to keep up with changing lifestyles. In the future, the use of cash will be marginalized in favour of electronic payments.

Novelty: Further IT and telecommunication progress at PKO BP Bank Polski will result in the emergence of more innovative solutions for banking services and, at the same time, the development of the electronic money market.

Published: December 2022

Abstract

Research background: Environmental factors are not adequately addressed in organizational ecology studies. At the same time, it is known that the theory has not received enough attention except for North America, which is the emerging point.

Purpose: We aim to examine macroeconomic connectedness between the organizational ecology of transportation and storage firms and macroeconomic variables such as price and production indexes.

Research methodology: This paper discusses the relation among the following variables within the framework of macroeconomic connectedness via organizational ecology theory. The variables are FOUNDINGS, DISBANDINGS, TRNSP-CPI, PPI IPI and ENERGY. We use the TVP-VAR based Diebold-Yılmaz Connectedness approach in the analysis of the data.

Results: DISBANDING is the net transmitter throughout the entire period. FOUNDING is mainly a net shock receiver during the COVID-19 period and transmitter in other periods. TRANS-CPI and PPI are risk receivers throughout the entire period, and even the shocks they transmit increased in the post-2018 period. ENERGY and IPI are in shock receiver status throughout the entire period. The received shocks of IPI from others have decreased with the effect of the lockdown experienced during the COVID-19 period.

Novelty: The investors can hedge against risk by looking at industry production capacity and the number of firm closures, considering the net bilateral link between the indices, and calculating the appropriate time period for establishing a firm. Connectedness indices vary considerably over the sampling period, which indicates that investors must dynamically adjust their position in the industry.
The Anthropocene or the Perennial Mining of Otherness—Inquiry on Artistic and Ethnographical Practice for Climate Emergency
Authors: Natálio Rita 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The Anthropocene hypothesis brings into play a set of paradoxes and virtually incommensurable spatial and temporal dimensions. Drawing on these debates, the present text will try to analyse experimental artistic productions and actions, particularly in indigenous contexts in Brazil, framing them in a broader discussion on the relations between art, anthropology and ecology. The concept of the Anthropocene will be unfolded into at least three sub-problems that it necessarily raises: the redefinition of the hegemonic concept of nature, the redefinition of the hegemonic concept of humanity, and the redefinition of the dichotomous division between these two concepts.
Pyrethrum and the Second World War: Recontextualising DDT in the Narrative of Wartime Insect Control
Authors: Clarke Sabine , Brown Richard J. E. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Historians have long recognised that DDT’s fame began with extraordinary propaganda late in the Second World War, yet heroic narratives that centre the chemical still shape historical understanding. Two false assumptions inform much of the existing scholarship on wartime insect control: one is that without DDT the Allies had no protection from malaria and typhus; the other is that DDT was significantly more toxic than any alternative insecticide available. This paper tells a very different story of wartime insecticides. We recontextualise DDT in the wider wartime technological landscape and in so doing show the enduring significance of the natural insecticide, pyrethrum. DDT was never solely responsible for protecting troops and civilians from malaria and typhus and its deployment did not render all existing insecticides obsolete. Claims about the significance of DDT often work by writing out the existence of alternative methods of controlling vectors or by downplaying the efficacy of existing materials and practices.
Abbe’s Theory and its Introduction in Spain: The Use of Instruments for Scientific Demonstrations
Authors: Gómez Esteban Moreno , Albaladejo Carolina Martín 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The theory of image formation in a microscope proposed by Ernst Abbe changed the scientific approach to microscopy. Though the theory had many detractors, his new approach led to a technological revolution in the design and construction of high-quality microscopes. It paved the way for new discoveries in the fields of biology and medicine. Joaquín María de Castellarnau, was a contemporary connoisseur of Abbe’s ideas who decided to disseminate them in Spain through various publications and training courses. In his lectures, he used various devices for practical demonstrations that allowed some concepts of the new theory to be better understood. At the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales in Madrid (MNCN–CSIC), one such original and unusual instrument designed by Abbe and used by Castellarnau has been preserved in perfect condition. Castellarnau used this instrument for various experiments that helped clarify the most complex points of Abbe’s theory. In this work, we explore how the context in which science developed in Spain favoured practical activities to demonstrate new scientific theories, such as Abbe’s in the early twentieth century.
Earlier is Better. New Options for Acute Heart Failure: When, Who, How Much?
Authors: Nechita Alexandru Cristian 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Heart failure (HF) is a major public health problem characterised by a high rate of hospitalisation and death. The risk is maximal for patients admitted with acute heart failure (AHF). New therapies with solid proof of mortality reduction in both groups of patients with reduced and preserved ejection fraction (EF) are now available (valsartan/sacubitril and SGLT2 inhibitors).
The purpose of this article is to review the main data available and to clarify the role of these new therapies in AHF. The precise moment of initiating these therapies is still a matter of debate. This paper presents the recommended criteria for clinical stability that the clinician could use in deciding to initiate therapy. There is a growing amount of evidence that initiating these therapies sooner provides more benefits to patients.
“I do have to represent the faith:” An Account of an Ecclesiological Problem When Teaching Philosophy in Ontario’s Catholic High Schools
Authors: McDonough Graham , Bialystok Lauren , Norris Trevor , Pinto Laura 
Published: December 2022

The Canadian province of Ontario introduced philosophy as a secondary school subject in 1995 (Pinto, McDonough, & Boyd, 2009). Since publicly-funded Catholic schools teach approximately 32% of all students in Ontario (Ontario Ministry of Education, 2022), the question arises regarding how teachers in those schools coordinate philosophy and Catholic teachings. This study employs a secondary analysis of interviews with six teachers from Ontario’s Catholic schools, and employs two of Avery Dulles’ (2002) conceptions of church (institution and mystical communion) to determine how they consider the choices available within their own tradition that could answer this question. Rather than looking only at the shortcomings of treating magisterial teaching as philosophy, this paper argues that there are also conceptual problems that these courses must address in order to improve their ecclesiological adequacy, and illustrates how an apparent null curriculum privileges the institutional ecclesiology.

Inheritance of Digital Financial Assets: Current Problems and Development Prospects
Authors: Vronskaya Mariya Vladimirovna , Semkina Tat'yana Aleksandrovna 
Published: December 2022

The subject of the study is the legal relations arising in connection with the turnover of digital financial assets in the context of determining the prospects for further improvement of their legal regime. The purpose of the study is to determine, on the basis of legislation, scientific materials and law enforcement practice, the range of legal problems arising in connection with and about the inheritance of digital financial assets, and to establish possible ways to overcome them. The methodological basis of the research is a set of methods of scientific cognition of objective legal reality, namely: the method of synthesis, the method of analysis, the method of induction and the method of deduction, as well as the comparative legal method. The scientific novelty lies in the absence of doctrinal studies on the inheritance of digital financial assets, along with the fact that the needs of the professional environment are already experiencing the need for a legal mechanism for the implementation of the rights of heirs to digital property. In the content of the scientific article, based on the analysis of the current legislation, a range of legal problems affecting the possibility of their application within the framework of hereditary legal relations is defined, in particular: the dualism of the material-binding nature of digital objects does not allow to determine the composition of the hereditary mass; the order of inheritance of such objects is not normatively defined. The study identifies the prospects for legislative regulation, ways to eliminate legal problems, including on the basis of the experience of foreign law and order. The conclusions and results of the study can be used as a basis for the development of methodological recommendations of the Federal Notary Chamber of the Russian Federation regarding the determination of the order of inheritance of digital property.

Published: December 2022

Objectives:An early contraceptive efficacy with reasonable assurance of reversibility has been a challenge in male contraception. With nearly four decades of research in reversible inhibition of sperm under guidance (RISUG®) as an intravasal male contraceptive, including pre-clinical trials in rats, rabbits, langur monkeys, and three phases of clinical trials, the present study aims to evaluate the additional parameters of a center of Phase III clinical trials.Material and Methods:Subjects were recruited following ICMR guidelines of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Samples were analyzed for sperm functional tests, namely, hypo-osmotic swelling, acrosomal intactness, nuclear chromatin decondensation, and sperm mitochondrial activity index. Furthermore, seminal biochemistry and serum hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, testosterone, cortisol, and prolactin were assessed along with levels of anti-sperm antibodies and prostate-specific antigen (PSA).Results:The present study, on human subjects, emphasizes the efficacy of RISUG®with early onset of contraception and indication of a greater possibility of reversal. A significant decrease in all sperm functional parameters was observed following RISUG®injection along with increased sperm abnormalities. Semen biochemistry revealed no marked alterations in the concentration of fructose and acid phosphatase, while significantly decreased levels of glycerophosphorylcholine and neutral α-glucosidase were observed. No significant changes in the circulatory levels of hormones and the levels of PSA were observed. In addition, the development of anti-sperm antibodies, an adverse effect of other vas occlusive methods, was not indicated after RISUG®administration, implying the potential of reversibility in humans as observed earlier in different animal models.Conclusion:RISUG®presenting deleterious effects on spermatozoa and marked alterations in epididymal markers provides early contraception with a greater possibility of reversal. Although the progress of RISUG®toward development as an ideal male contraceptive is slow, the study implies a strong future possibility.

Tanah lempung memilki kadar air yang cukup tinggi, tetapi tanah lempung juga mempunyai kelemahan yaitu kuat geser yang rendah. Hal ini menjadi suatu permasalahan jika sedang merencanakan pondasi diatas tanah lempung. Sehingga perlu diadakannya perbaikan agar dapat mengurangi kadar air yang terkandung serta dapat menaikkan nilai kuat geser tanah lempung. Salah satu cara untuk untuk meningkatkan kuat geser tanah adalah dengan perlakuan elektrokinetik yang menghasilkan proses elektroosmosis. Elektrokinetik yang digunakan diberi arus sebesar 2560 mA dengan perlakuan arus konstan dan arus intermittent current dengan variasi waktu tunggu 15, 21, 28, 35 hari. Proses elektroosmosis diuji dengan skala lapangan yang berlokasi di Fakultas Teknik Universitas Tanjungpura. Pada saat air telah berpindah dari anoda menuju katoda melalui proses elektroosmosis, kuat geser yang dihasilkan dapat diuji menggunakan vane shear test. Berdasarkan pengujian vane shear test diperoleh kesimpulan bahwa kuat geser tak terdrainase (undrained) memiliki nilai lebih besar pada perlakuan arus konstan dibandingkan pada arus intermittent current. Perlakuan arus sebesar 2560 mA secara konstan (terus-menerus) dengan variasi waktu tunggu menghasilkan kuat geser yang optimal pada tanah yang diuji. Kata kunci : tanah lempung, elektrokinetik, kuat geser tak terdrainase (undrained), vane shear test (uji geser kipas)

Pada umumnya, kontraktor memperhitungkan keuntungan maupun kerugian yang mungkin diperoleh berdasarkan selisih dari biaya total proyek keseluruhan yang diterima dengan biaya yang dikeluarkan saat proyek telah selesai dilaksanakan. Sebenarnya perhitungan tersebut tidak berhenti sampai disitu saja, masih perlu dilakukan optimasi-optimasi guna meningkatkan keuntungan yang didapat. Optimasi yang dapat dilakukan yaitu memanfaatkan selang-selang waktu (time range) antara penerimaan uang dengan pengeluaran uang untuk kebutuhan proyek yang merupakan keuntungan dari opportunity cost. Dengan melakukan pengumpulan data yang terdiri dari data kegiatan proyek, rencana anggaran biaya dan pembayaran termin pada proyek yang telah dilaksanakan, maka dianalisa keuntungan yang didapat dari rencana pemanfaatan dan penyimpanan uang diantara tenggang waktu antara memegang uang dengan pembelian material dengan memanfaatkan fasilitas perbankan yaitu berupa simpanan tabungan dan bunga deposito. Hasil penelitian pada studi kasus proyek Pembangunan Gedung BPK-RI Pontianak terbukti pada proyek tersebut terdapat opportunity cost yang berasal dari selisih antara tenggang waktu memegang uang dengan waktu pembelian material dan pembayaran upah pekerja. Keuntungan tambahan yang diperoleh dari bunga simpanan adalah sekitar 0,2% dari total biaya proyek yaitu sebesar Rp16.038.849,83Kata Kunci : bunga deposito, opportunity cost. , proyek konstruksi
