Pectin is widely studied due to its favorable physicochemical properties, biocompatibility, and non-toxic nature. Methylation of pectin represents a natural structural modification occurring within plant cell walls and is considered part of the defense mechanism against microbial pathogens. In this study, molecular docking analysis was performed t...

The authors examine the concept of environmental crime from both legal and philosophical perspectives, emphasizing that such a dual approach is necessary for its proper understanding. A purely normative definition, they argue, cannot fully capture the broader social and ethical dimensions of this complex phenomenon. By combining these perspectives,...

Behavior change techniques (BCTs) represent a pivotal yet often overlooked component in the national-scale modernization of healthcare systems, particularly in resource-constrained settings where infrastructural upgrades alone are insufficient to improve clinical outcomes. The Integrated Perinatal Care Project in Uzbekistan provides a compelling ca...

Hydraulic fluids are essential for power transmission, lubrication, cooling and corrosion protection in modern mechanical systems. Although petroleum-based hydraulic oils are still widely used, their flammability, limited thermal stability, environmental persistence and dependence on complex additive packages motivate the search for safer and more ...

MARPOL recognises various types of marine pollution, including oil, garbage, sewage, and greenhouse gases pollutions. Garbage-sourced microplastics (MP), due to their small size and high resistance coupled with their chronic biological effects, pose a serious omnipresent environmental threat. This paper's research was motivated by the lack of metho...

The paper presents an insight into the mathematical basis of fuzzy linguistic modeling and discusses the sensitivity of fuzzy rule-based systems with respect to membership function parameters, rule structure, and inference mechanisms. Examples with different inference models are analyzed and compared in order to illustrate their influence on the be...
