COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IN THE DIGITAL AGE: THE CASE FOR REFORM TO KAZAKHSTAN’S COPYRIGHT LAWS

Background: The rapid digitalisation of copyrighted materials and the creation of new digital products pose significant challenges to copyright law in the era of globalisation. Digitisation has revolutionised access to information by converting it into a digital format, thus making it easier for anyone who surfs the internet to reproduce and share data. However, new technologies have also resulted in illegal activities such as online copyright infringement. That being the case, the development of digital technologies requires new relevant approaches and provisions from the national copyright law of Kazakhstan to handle copyright infringement on the internet. It could be argued that the current legislation cannot handle legal issues related to copyright, especially the responsibility of internet service providers (ISPs) for the violation of the copyright. This article aims to identify shortcomings in the legal regulation of ISPs in the Republic of Kazakhstan and to offer recommendations for improving legislation in this area. The novelty of the paper lies in Kazakhstan’s legislation, lacking regulation on the legal status of ISPs and their role in protecting copyright on the internet. By comparing Kazakh legislative developments with practices in the US, UK, and Ukraine, the paper provides insights into potential reforms for better handling digital copyright infringement. Methods: This paper applies several research methods, including systemic, comparative legal, and historical legal analysis. The primary focus is on examining the legislation and case law of the US, UK and Ukraine regarding copyright issues to enhance Kazakhstan’s existing legislative framework. Results and conclusions: This article argues that national acts of Kazakhstan on copyright were obsolete before the advancement of digital technologies and therefore, need to be updated to keep pace with modern technologies.

People can take education from everywhere, such as formal education conducted in schools. Additionally, there is non-formal education, which can occur outside formal education, such as in courses, training institutions, study groups, and others. Continuous education involves activities that aim to enhance evolving knowledge in one's job or responsibilities, leadership training, and improving managerial skills to manage institutions, finances, facilities, and human resources. This community service activity took place in Cibodas Village, Rumpin District, Bogor Regency/City, with the aim of raising awareness among the community about the importance of continuous education to improve human resource quality. The low level of education (above 75% at the elementary education level) is a social problem in the village. This training include materials about continuous education, entrepreneurship, and digital promotional media as a form of continous education. The training was provided to 50 participants from the Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) of Cibodas Village, resulting in the creation of village flagship products. Through this training, participants will become catalysts, spreading information to raise awareness in the community and improve continuous education to achieve greater well-being and quality of life.

Consumer Satisfaction with the Quality and Availability of Gluten-Free Products

The aim of this study is to investigate consumer attitudes toward the quality and availability of gluten-free products. For this purpose, quantitative research was conducted using a questionnaire completed by 107 respondents who consumed gluten-free products. The results of the research showed that most consumers prepared their own meals, paid attention to ingredients, and strictly adhered to a gluten-free diet. About 10% of the respondents declared that they occasionally did not follow a gluten-free diet. Respondents were generally not satisfied with the price and availability of gluten-free products on the market. An additional aggravating circumstance for them when eating out was that restaurants generally do not have a sufficient selection of gluten-free dishes in their daily offer. Although most of them stated that they buy basic, well-known gluten-free products, they want to try new products with different, new flavors. This demand offers food manufacturers the opportunity to capitalize on the rapidly growing gluten-free market by developing creative and sustainable products that not only meet dietary requirements but also exceed consumer expectations. By focusing on innovation and variety, companies can participate in a profitable market while contributing to the growth of a more sustainable economy. The results of this study pointed to consumer preferences that could be used to influence the improvement and development of new gluten-free products, which are on the rise and will have a better nutritional quality and thus had a positive impact on health.

Polyphenolic Screening and the Antioxidant Activity of Grape Pomace Extracts of Romanian White and Red Grape Varieties.

Due to its valuable organic compounds, grape pomace represents a valuable resource in the creation of value-added food products. In this study, we investigated grape pomace hydroalcoholic extracts obtained by ultrasonication from two white and two red Romanian grape varieties. The phytochemical parameters, i.e., polyphenolics, flavonoids, anthocyanins, condensed tannins content, and antioxidant activity, were determined by UV-Vis spectrometry. The statistical analysis revealed that Tămâioasă Românească and Negru de Drăgășani, respectively, and Fetească Albă and Fetească Neagră are similar to each other. Significant differences among the pomaces obtained from different grape varieties were noticed in terms of their phenolic contents. The red varieties (Fetească Neagră and Negru de Drăgășani) were richest in terms of total phenolics and total anthocyanins, respectively. The antioxidant activity of extracts obtained from grape pomace showed that Negru de Drăgășani had the higher value due to its high amounts of polyphenols, followed by Fetească Neagră, Fetească Albă, and Tămâioasă Românească. Higher levels of bioactive polyphenolic substances, i.e., catechin, myricetin, resveratrol, and vanillic acid, were found in the pomace of Negru de Drăgășani extracts using high-performance liquid chromatography. These results emphasize the potential of the Negru de Drăgășani variety to be further exploited for nutritional and functional applications.

Assessment of the Impact of Pretreatment of Spent Coffee Grounds with Diluted Sulfuric Acid on the Efficiency of Methane and Lactic Acid Fermentation

Lignocellulosic materials are composed of three major biocomponents such as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin, which form a compact lignocellulosic complex. Characterized by high caloric content, lignocellulosic biomass, including coffee grounds, is a valuable energy source that can be efficiently used in various bioconversion and biotransformation processes. Due to the high consumption of coffee in the world, there is an increasing amount of coffee grounds, which is a rich waste and at the same time a valuable secondary raw material, and its use fits perfectly into a closed-loop economy. Coffee grounds biomass contains polysaccharides, mainly mannans, proteins, lipids, polyphenols, which will allow the development of different biorefinery strategies, the creation of new value-added products with reduced waste generation. The research describes the pre-treatment of coffee grounds with dilute sulfuric acid to evaluate the effect of acid concentration, hydrolysis time on biogas yield, including methane and lactic acid biosynthesis during anaerobic fermentations. A yield of 381.12 mL of CH4/g-VS methane was obtained, accounting for 72.48% of the total biogas composition. It was found that the most efficient sample in terms of substrate pre-treatment for lactic acid biosynthesis was coffee grounds after 90 min hydrolysis with 1.5% H2SO4 at 121 °C.

Peculiarities of copyright in a theatrical production

The article examines the features of a theatrical production as a work of theatrical artthat is created on the basis of a dramaturgical work (literary, musical, choreographic, orother), has a single idea and a specific title.Ukrainian legislation does not define the composition of the authors of a theatrical production.The study proves that the authors of a theatrical production may include the authorof a dramatic work specially created for a particular theatrical production, directorsand the author of a musical work with or without lyrics specially created for a particulartheatrical production. Given the unequal nature of creative contributions to a theatricalproduction, the belonging of creative contributions to different types of art, a theatricalproduction is a complex work that is characterized by a synthesis of arts. The authors of atheatrical production enter into a co-authorship that is characterized not by the unity ofthe creative process, but by the unity of the result in the form of one coherent work. Despitethe fact that the content of each author’s creativity is different and may belong to differentareas of art, in the end, all these elements are combined in one work.The primary subjects of copyright in a theatrical production are its authors. At thesame time, a theatrical production is often a work for hire created by an employee underan employment contract. Under Ukrainian law, copyright in a work for hire is transferredto the employer from the moment the work is created, unless otherwise provided by contractor law. However, if the producer orders the creation of a theatrical production, copyrightin it shall be transferred to the producer. Thus, the right holder of a theatrical productionmay be determined in different ways.The main way of using a theatrical production is its public performance as presentingit to the public directly through the performance of roles (parts) and other presentation ofartistic images. A public performance is not a form of expression of a theatrical productionthat arises as a result of the creativity of its authors before its public performance, and itsexistence does not cease after the performance is over.The current legislation of Ukraine reflects the specifics of a theatrical production as anobject of copyright only partially, and therefore needs to be improved.

Digital platforms and the construction supply chain: trends and emerging themes in extant AEC research

A substantial body of research has emerged on the conditions that impact how and when industry stakeholders adopt digital platforms. However, in the construction industry in general—and the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry in particular—to date, this research remains fragmented, which hampers our understanding of how digital platforms can enhance productivity and value creation. This paper aims to provide a better understanding of the benefits and challenges of adopting digital platforms and integrating them into the AEC industry. We conduct a systematic literature review on digital platform integration to identify themes that are relevant to the AEC industry. Based on our findings, we develop an integrative model that captures the phases of digital platform adoption and integration and outlines where different industry stakeholders tend to face challenges in this process, and we pinpoint where benefits can be derived. We employ this model to derive a research agenda that will fill the identified knowledge gaps currently existing in our understanding of construction industry stakeholders’ integration within the digital platform space.

Harnessing the Potential of Whey in the Creation of Innovative Food Products: Contributions to the Circular Economy

Food waste and by-products are intricately linked to sustainable food production, as reducing waste can play a significant role in achieving a more sustainable and efficient food system. Sustainable utilization and recovery of by-products can significantly contribute by creating strategies that can lead to cost savings and increased efficiency across the food supply chain. Worldwide, more than 40% of whey from cheese production is discarded, resulting in the loss of valuable nutrients and potentially polluting the environment. Effective use of whey reduces environmental impact and enhances manufacturing sustainability. Thus, a circular approach to food waste management in the dairy industry supports sustainability goals and creates opportunities for innovation. Whey contains most of the soluble components of milk, including a large number of serum proteins and all the essential amino acids, making it suitable for producing beverages with high nutritional value. This study aims to produce whey-based beverages with different additions to obtain dairy products with high nutritional value. Three different ingredients, sea buckthorn, ginger, and cinnamon, were chosen for their numerous health benefits to the consumer. Six samples were prepared utilizing both unmodified and deproteinized whey in a 75% proportion, with the addition of 25% sea buckthorn juice, 0.75% ginger juice, and 0.2% cinnamon powder. The resultant samples were packaged in 200 mL bottles and maintained at a controlled temperature of 6 °C to ensure optimal preservation. Given the paramount importance of consumer acceptability in novel beverage development, a comprehensive evaluation was conducted to assess the sensory properties of the formulated beverages. In addition, physico-chemical properties and their evolution over 14 days of storage were examined. The sample containing whey, sea buckthorn juice, ginger juice, and cinnamon powder received the highest marks from the tasters. The values of the physico-chemical parameters varied depending on the type of whey used and the storage period. Thus, a pH of approximately 5 and an acidity between 30 and 80 °T were recorded. The average lactose content was 4%, the average protein content was 2.5%, and the total soluble solids content was 11.5 °Brix. The beverages developed in this study represent viable alternatives for diversifying food production through sustainable, environmentally friendly technological variants. By applying circular economy principles, these products contribute to reducing food waste in the dairy industry.

Impact Of International Trade On Regional Economic Growth

This study aims to analyze the impact of international trade on regional economic growth through literature studies. International trade is one of the main drivers of economic growth in the era of globalization. Despite a significant increase in the volume of global trade, the distribution of benefits is not always evenly distributed across regions. Some regions with adequate infrastructure access and supportive economic policies experience rapid economic growth, while other less developed regions face limitations in taking advantage of international trade opportunities. This study shows that international trade contributes significantly to increasing Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), investment, and job creation, although these impacts depend on the readiness of infrastructure and the competitiveness of each region. Factors such as government policies and access to global markets also play a role in influencing the benefits obtained. This study recommends policies for infrastructure development and strengthening the competitiveness of local products to ensure that all regions can feel the optimal benefits of international trade. The results of this study provide direction for the government in formulating policies that encourage inclusive and sustainable economic growth at the regional level.

Decoding product obsolescence: A taxonomic approach from product design attributes

One challenge that product design has faced is the ongoing threat of obsolescence, where investment in an updated solution can quickly become irrelevant within months or years as technology advances. This phenomenon not only affects consumers, who may find themselves with quickly outdated devices but also poses a dilemma for designers and manufacturers who must balance constant innovation with sustainability and product durability. In this dynamic scenario, there arises a critical need to understand how design attributes impact obsolescence and how this relationship can influence the creation of more sustainable and resilient products. This paper develops a taxonomy of product design attributes influencing different types of obsolescence to address the research gap between product design and obsolescence. It investigates the significance of obsolescence types across product categories, the impact of design attributes on these obsolescences, and the role of design in product sustainability. Employing a theoretical framework combining product design and lifecycle analysis, the methodology includes a literature review and an expert survey to evaluate design attributes against obsolescence types. From the literature review, 21 design attributes were identified and evaluated by 26 industry and academia experts. The findings reveal distinct patterns of obsolescence in various product categories, emphasizing the influence of specific design attributes. The role of attributes such as upgradeability and compatibility in technological, functional, and planned obsolescence was highlighted. Limited familiarity with certain types of obsolescence among experts was acknowledged, underscoring the importance of raising awareness within the design community. These insights are critical to align product design with sustainability goals and challenging traditional product development practices. The study has significant implications for designers, manufacturers, and policymakers, highlighting the importance of understanding design choices in reducing obsolescence and promoting sustainable consumption.

Market and entrepreneurial orientations model to increase product innovation of culinary micro small medium enterprises in Indonesia

The objective of the article is to examine how market orientation and entrepreneurial orientation within an organization might bolster product innovation capabilities. By exploring these connections, the research aims to present a more comprehensive understanding of the research model and bridge existing limitations. This study employed a quantitative associative with a proportional-clustered-random-sampling technique. Data were collected through a questionnaire survey involving 400 respondents representing micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) and used structural equation modeling (SEM) to test hypotheses. The results indicated a significant impact of market and entrepreneurial orientations on product innovation with market orientation having a more dominant effect on product innovation than entrepreneurial orientation. A strong market orientation shows business players can absorb market knowledge for product innovation. Thus, MSME owners must swiftly digest this market information to plan future product developments, especially since some product types change rapidly during the product life cycle. The findings also show that the entrepreneurial approach has a poorer influence on product creation in MSMEs due to the necessity for competencies and risk-taking that the organization lacks. The Ministry of Cooperatives and MSME can use this input to design targeted programs to help MSME owners and creativity and invention to make distinctive things while being highly impacted by market demands. With its findings, the study augments our understanding of the product innovation position in Indonesian MSMEs and, illuminates MSMEs owners' next steps to sustain the competitiveness and operationalization of their businesses.

Research on Regional Culture-enabled Ceramic-based Cultural and Creative Product Design

Regional culture is of great significance to the design of cultural and creative products. Regional cultural elements empower product design, on the one hand, they can promote the inheritance and innovative development of regional culture; on the other hand, they can design cultural and creative products with both historical and cultural traditions and in line with modern aesthetics. Currently, cultural and creative products are hot, but not many ceramic cultural and creative products are practical, artistic and cultural at the same time. Therefore, this paper explores the combination of regional culture and ceramic cultural and creative product design, and explores how regional culture can empower ceramic cultural and creative product design through the literature research method and case analysis method. What is more, it also puts forward the current problems including design homogenisation and lack of cultural connotation and practicality in the design of ceramic cultural and creative products, and puts forward coping strategies to further improve the regional cultural characteristics of ceramic cultural and creative product design, like the introduction of design talent, according to the group demand for design optimization.
