Implantation of Totally Implantable Access Ports via The Internal Jugular Vein in Oncological Patients - A Single General Surgeon Experience
Authors: ÖNER Muharrem
Published: December 2023

Central venous access is pivotal for patients undergoing repetitive chemotherapy, hemodialysis, blood transfusions, total parenteral nutrition, and blood tests. This study aims to present the single-center experience of a general surgeon in Totally Implantable Access Port (TIAP) implantation under general anesthesia using ultrasonography and fluoroscopy guidance and assess early and late complications. A retrospective study was conducted on patients who underwent TIAP implantation between January 2020 and December 2022. Patients eligible for intravenous chemotherapy with solid tumors were included. A single general surgeon performed the procedures. General anesthesia was administered in all patients, and a percutaneous Seldinger technique was utilized. Early and late complications were monitored, and relevant data were collected. The study comprised 186 patients with a median age of 46, predominantly female (65.1%). The overall success rate was 99.5%. Early and late complications occurred in 1.6% and 5.9% of cases. The most common late complications were pocket infection (1.6%) and symptomatic thrombosis (1.6%). Port migration occurred in one patient but was promptly corrected. No pneumothorax cases were observed. Port removal was performed in 92 patients upon chemotherapy completion. Implantation of TIAPs under general anesthesia, guided by ultrasound and fluoroscopy, resulted in a high success rate and low complication rate when performed by a skilled general surgeon. These findings underscore the safety and efficacy of TIAP implantation under general anesthesia in a private hospital setting. The study contributes to the growing body of evidence supporting general surgeons in providing effective and safe TIAP implantation for oncology patients, potentially expanding its availability in diverse clinical settings.

The relationship between attachment and anxiety. a comparative study of adolescents with disabilities from paternal vs. maternal single-parent families
Authors: Tudor Marinela , Sandu Mihaela Luminița , Rus Mihaela
Published: December 2023

Starting from the premise that the strengthening of a different type of attachment from the secure one gives rise to anxiety - as a disruptive phenomenon in the adaptation to the social environment through exaggerated fear, led us to focus on adolescents with multiple disabilities - this being the motivation of the chosen theme. After establishing the main objective: to analyze with reference to the chosen sample, if there are significant differences in the development of adolescents with disabilities from single-parent paternal vs. paternal family environment involved in the study - the relationship between the level of anxiety and attachment style in adolescents with multiple disabilities in the sample.The specific objectives of the research were: the identification of relationships between attachment style and anxiety; the identification of relationships between anxiety and single-parent family. The theoretical basis of the present work provides information on the type of attachment and the level of anxiety in adolescents, as well as their consequences in relation to those with multiple disabilities from single-parent maternal and paternal families. Therefore, in the present study we wanted to capture the relationship between attachment style and anxiety in adolescents with multiple disabilities, and especially whether there are significant differences between these variables.
Changes in Cardiac Structure and Function Following Fistula Ligation in Kidney Transplant Recipients (Cohort Study)
Authors: Maher Mamdouh , Elsawah Ahmed Mohsen , Ebid Islam , Elsayed Mohamed , Akkad Mohamed , Abdelhalim Ahmed , Elhadainy Mohamed Sabry
Published: December 2023

Purpose: International guidelines recommend that haemodialysis access is provided by an arteriovenous fistula (AVF), which enables frequent, reliable access to the circulation, but there are no guidelines to suggest whether these AVFs need to be ligated after kidney transplantation. Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality remain high in recipients of a kidney transplant, the persistence of a patent arteriovenous fistula (AVF) after transplantation may contribute to ongoing maladaptive cardiovascular remodelling. The ability to reverse this maladaptive remodelling by ligation of this AVF is unknown. We conducted this trial to evaluate the effect of AVF ligation on cardiac structure and function in stable kidney transplant recipients. Also we studied the ability of preoperative echocardiographic and non-invasive hemodynamic measurements, including the effects of acute temporary occlusion of the fistula, to predict postoperative left ventricular diameter and mass reduction, by the closure of the fistula.

Materials and Methods: Nonrandomized controlled trial. kidney transplant recipients (>12 months after transplantation with stable graft function) were divided into 2 groups. The first referred for surgical arteriovenous fistula closure. The second group didn’t receive Fistula closure (control). Standard echocardiographic parameters, heart rate, and blood pressure were assessed preoperatively (fistula closure) at baseline. These measurements were repeated 6 months after surgical closure.

Findings: Seventeen kidney transplant patients were prospectively studied with 11 case and 6 controls with no fistula closure. Surgical fistula closure decreased left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and mass indexes (29.9_2.4to 27.4_2.1 mm/m2, P<0.001, and 141_37 to 132_39 g/m2, P<0.05, respectively), whereas no changes were seen in controls after a similar delay. Postoperative left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and mass reductions correlated best with the increases in total peripheral resistance (r_0.85, P<0.0001) and mean arterial blood pressure (r_0.64, P_0.006), respectively.

Conclusions. Surgical closure of arteriovenous fistula reduces left ventricular diameter and mass in kidney transplant recipients.  The best predictors of those morphological changes are the rise in blood pressure and total peripheral resistance induced by temporary occlusion of the fistula.

Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: Surgical closure of persistent AV fistula after renal transplantation to correct LV geometry and improve symptoms in terms of exertional dyspnea and palpitations.

Rescatar y reflexionar sobre las huellas que marcan el camino recorrido por los académicos del Instituto de Geografía Martín Pérez, UNCUYO, desde su inicio hasta el 2000 es una ardua, pero necesaria, tarea. En este caso se focaliza en la investigación geográfica.La labor de investigación supone definir el problema a investigar, desde qué marcos teóricos se abordará y con qué metodología.El camino recorrido por la investigación geográfica en el Instituto Martín Pérez se puede dividir en tres etapas: La primera, “de la indefinición a la consolidación”; la segunda: “en busca de la rigurosidad científica” y la tercera etapa: “La proyección, apertura a nuevos enfoques”.La primera etapa se caracteriza por dos momentos que se relacionan con el origen del Instituto de Geografía, el influjo de profesionales de disciplinas físico-naturales y la consolidación a partir de la influencia francesa y la geografía regional.La segunda etapa se vincula con el surgimiento de la Geografía locacional y el auge que la misma tuvo en la UNCUYO, convirtiéndose en un centro de dispersión de los estudios desde esta óptica. Finalmente, la tercera etapa corresponde a la apertura hacia la geografía del comportamiento y el inicio de los estudios sociales a través de la corriente radical de la geografía.

Lifelong Learning in Private Security - New Challenges
Authors: Nađ Ivan , Perčin Ante , Ahić Jasmin
Published: December 2023

The last year has seen much activity in preparing the new Act on Private Security, which should be coming in force in early 2020. One of the main reasons for the legislator to pass the new law is to improve the implementation of physical and technical protection in practice, to improve the quality of regulation, and to improve the private protection sector in the context of current security threats. Also, the inevitability of inclusion of private protection in the homeland security system is an additional reason for further modernization, which implies the parallel increase in quality of private security services in the Republic of Croatia. One of the expected goals is to further increase the participation of private security in locations with increased security risk in a partnership between public and private security, which is a trend in EU countries. In this regard, a new category of security professional is proposed, which would be further educated by experienced professionals and, under the new Act on Private Security, entrusted with the most responsible and complex tasks of private security. However, in the current conditions in the Croatian private security sector, which currently lacks almost 25% of trained professionals, in which negative staff selection has been present for over 5 years, with enormous fluctuation of staff, and sector wide minimum wages, it is important to ask whether is the new security guard definition just a different name and form, or does it bring new content. This paper will present a part of the research into private security professionals' attitudes towards lifelong learning. The aim of this paper is to: determine the attitudes of guards and security guards on lifelong learning, ways in which guards and security guards participate in the training process, their motivational factors for acquiring new knowledge and barriers to training and ultimately assess the benefits of training.
Some Phenomenological Aspects of Prostitution in Croatia
Authors: Mihaljević Pero , Getoš Kalac Anna-Maria
Published: December 2023

The paper presents the results of a qualitative analysis of prostitution in Croatia according to the prostitution categorisation into low, medium and high-level prostitution. The goal of the conducted study and this paper is to provide an in-depth insight into prostitution phenomenology, and based on that, on influencing factors, as well as about the possible directions of prevention regarding the etiology of prostitution. For the purpose of transparency and systematic presentation, semi-structured interviews with persons engaged in prostitution and police officers engaged in the prevention of prostitution were divided into mentioned prostitution categorisation and thematic division of the questionnaire was carried out according to the questionnaire presented in the introduction and presented in a table for the sake of transparency, after which the analysis strives to bring out conclusions about the possible patterns of the phenomenon itself. In addition, at the end of the research, the table shows the general police officers’ knowledge of the phenomenon of prostitution, their attitudes regarding the phenomenon itself and the current legislative framework. The results of research and analysis show that street prostitution has almost disappeared in Croatia, while medium-level prostitution is dominant because it offers a significantly higher level of protection and safety (both physical and from stigmatization, as well as police detection). High-level prostitution is more in the focus of new communication channels and media full of "successful" beauties who live "on the high side", and most often it is about women who have a certain legal "occupation/profession", while they engage in prostitution occasionally in order to improve their financial situation, while most of them grew up in average families without detected trauma or victimization.
Transgenerational Collective Traumas and Radicalization in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Towards the Establishment of a Framework for Analysis
Authors: Buljubašić Mirza , Holá Barbora
Published: December 2023

Nearly three decades have passed since the conclusion of the last war in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Despite the absence of direct experiences or memories of atrocity crimes and mass victimization, post-war generations bear the long-term consequences of war through the influence of their parents. Collective traumas, both from the distant and recent past, have become integral to group identities and memories, shaping everyday life, narratives, emotions, and mental representations among these generations. These transgenerational collective traumas can potentially lead to the radicalization of young individuals. Surprisingly, the role of group radicalization resulting from collective traumas has been largely overlooked in previous literature. This paper aims to bridge this research gap by elucidating the concepts of intergenerational (collective) trauma, its transmission, and the potential for youth radicalization. Through the synthesis and explanation of these concepts, a framework for a contextualized understanding of how collective traumas impact the radicalization of youth is proposed. To analyze the issue, interviews and focus groups were conducted in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The paper concludes with policy recommendations.

The Moderating Role of the Big Five Personality Traits in the Relationship Between Information and Communication Technology Demands and Employee Well-Being: A Conceptual Study
Authors: DEMİREL Elif , EKBER AKGÜN Ali
Published: December 2023

As technology continues to evolve, the use of information and communication technologies in the workplace has started to increase rapidly leading to the emergence of information and communication technology demands. The COVID 19 pandemic has also had an impact on these uses and demands. Information and communication technology demands are one of the topics that have gained importance in the literature, but there is limited research on the relationship between information and communication technology demands and employee well-being, and the findings are inconsistent. This study, which examines the relationship between information and communication technology demands and employee well-being in terms of subjective well-being, psychological well-being, social well-being and workplace well-being, also draws attention to the role of the Big Five personality model within the relationship.

Sprachwechsel, Spracherhalt und Sprachverlust deutschsprachiger Migrantinnen im Norden Finnlands
Authors: Grasz Sabine
Published: December 2023

This paper explores the experiences and views on language shift, language maintenance and language loss of four German-speaking migrants living in northern Finland. The study is part of the project “German speakers in North Finland” that aims to give a comprehensive inventory of language identities, multilingual communicative practices and strategies of language maintenance and inter-generational language socialization of German-speaking migrants in northern Finland. The informants in this study came to Finland as adults and have similar educational backgrounds. However, they differ in terms of age, length of stay and place of residence, which has an impact on opportunities to use the first language. Two of them are young students who came to northern Finland only a few years ago and live in university towns. The two others are in their late 50s and early 60s and have lived in Finland for 27 and 15 years, most of that time in small villages. The thematic analysis of the interviews shows that all four informants have changed their language during their time in Finland. While the two older informants have changed to Finnish, the two younger informants have changed to English as their  dominant language. Despite the language shift, German plays a role for all informants, even if only a minor role for the two older ones. Language loss is perceived by all four informants, but is not primarily understood as a deficit, but as a “natural” consequence of migration. Important factors influencing these processes are the family situation, the language skills of the partners and the place of residence. The analysis shows that living in northern Finland influences access to the German language and contacts with other German-speaking people. Above all, in small villages Finnish is the predominant means of communication and contacts with the German language are mainly limited to the private domain.

QUAL O MELHOR MODELO DE INCLUSÃO DE AUTISTAS NA SOCIEDADE?
Authors: Oliveira Eridan Martins de , Garbus Paulo Antonio , Garcia Tatiana Alexandra Rudolf
Published: December 2023

O presente artigo tem como objetivo investigar o melhor modelo de inclusão para indivíduos autistas, baseado em um estudo qualitativo realizado na Clínica Self em Curitiba. Foram analisados três modelos: o biomédico, o biopsicossocial e o social. A metodologia consistiu em entrevistas semiestruturadas com profissionais da clínica, observação participante e análise documental. Os resultados indicaram que o modelo biopsicossocial, proposto por De Marco (2006), é o mais eficaz, por considerar os aspectos biológicos, psicológicos e sociais do autismo. O modelo social, apresentado por França (2013) e Santos (2018), foi o menos utilizado, por apresentar limitações na compreensão das especificidades dos autistas. O modelo biomédico foi criticado por sua visão reducionista e patologizante do autismo. A conclusão foi que o modelo biopsicossocial oferece uma abordagem mais abrangente e eficaz para a inclusão dos autistas, ao reconhecer a diversidade de experiências e necessidades desses indivíduos e promover a criação de ambientes mais inclusivos e empoderadores para eles
Geomorphic risk maps for river migration using probabilistic modeling – a framework
Authors: Noh Brayden , Wani Omar , Dunne Kieran B. J. , Lamb Michael P.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Lateral migration of meandering rivers poses erosional risks to human settlements, roads, and infrastructure in alluvial floodplains. While there is a large body of scientific literature on the dominant mechanisms driving river migration, it is still not possible to accurately predict river meander evolution over multiple years. This is in part because we don't fully understand the relative contribution of each mechanism and because deterministic mathematical models are not equipped to account for stochasticity in the system. Besides, uncertainty due to model-structure deficits and unknown parameter values remains. For a more reliable assessment of risks, we, therefore, need probabilistic forecasts. Here, we present a workflow to generate geomorphic risk maps for river migration using probabilistic modeling. We start with a simple geometric model for river migration, where nominal migration rates increase with local and upstream curvature. We then account for model structure deficits using smooth random functions. Probabilistic forecasts for river channel position over time are generated by monte carlo runs using a distribution of model parameter values inferred from satellite data. We provide a recipe for parameter inference within the Bayesian framework. We demonstrate that such risk maps are relatively more informative in avoiding false negatives, which can be both detrimental and costly, in the context of assessing erosional hazards due to river migration. Our results show that with longer prediction time horizons, the spatial uncertainty of erosional hazard within the entire channel belt increases – with more geographical area falling within 25 % < probability < 75 %. However, forecasts also become more confident about erosion for regions immediately in the vicinity of the river, especially on its cut-bank side. Probabilistic modeling thus allows us to quantify our degree of confidence – which is spatially and temporally variable – in river migration forecasts. We also note that to increase the reliability of these risk maps, we need to describe the first-order dynamics in our model to a reasonable degree of accuracy, and simple geometric models do not always possess such accuracy.

Abstract. We show that the distribution of anthropogenic carbon between the atmosphere, land surface, and ocean differs with the choice of projection scenario even for identical changes in mean global surface temperature. Warming thresholds occur later in lower-CO2-emissions scenarios and with less carbon in the three main reservoirs than in higher-CO2-emissions scenarios. At 2 ∘C of warming, the mean carbon allocation differs by up to 63 PgC between scenarios, which is equivalent to approximately 6 years of the current global total emissions. At the same warming level, higher-CO2-concentration scenarios have a lower combined ocean and land carbon allocation fraction of the total carbon compared to lower-CO2-concentration scenarios. The warming response to CO2, quantified as the equilibrium climate sensitivity, ECS, directly impacts the global warming level exceedance year and hence the carbon allocation. Low-ECS models have more carbon than high-ECS models at a given warming level because the warming threshold occurs later, allowing more emissions to accumulate. These results are important for carbon budgets and mitigation strategies as they impact how much carbon the ocean and land surface could absorb at a given warming level. Carbon budgeting will be key to reducing the impacts of anthropogenic climate change, and these findings could have critical consequences for policies aimed at reaching net zero.

Abstract. The ATL2MED demonstration experiment involved two autonomous surface vehicles provided by Saildrone Inc. (SD) along a route from the tropical eastern North Atlantic to the Adriatic Sea between October 2019 and July 2020. This nine-month long experiment located in a transition zone between the temperate and tropical belts represents a major challenge in the use of SD. The sensors on board were subjected, to varying degradation degrees depending on the geographical area and the season, to biofouling with consequent deterioration of the acquired measurements. As a result, several maintenance along the mission's course were necessary. We address the difficulty of correcting the data during a period of COVID-19 restrictions, which significantly reduced the number of discrete samples planned for SD salinity and dissolved oxygen validation. This article details alternative correction methods for salinity and dissolved oxygen. Due to the lack of in situ data, model products have been used to correct the salinity data acquired by the SDs, and then the resulting corrected salinity was validated with data from fixed ocean stations, gliders, and Argo floats. In addition, dissolved oxygen data acquired from SDs after correction using air oxygen measurements were tested and found to be in line with the oxygen values expected from temperature and chlorophyll-a data. The correction methods are relevant and useful in situations where validation capabilities are lacking, which was the case during the ATL2MED demonstration experiment. For future experiments, it is recommended that validation samples are collected more frequently. An overview over data availability is found in Section 5, Table 5.
ON THE SEMANTIC SEGMENTATION AND VALIDATION OF ELECTRICAL SUBSTATIONS
Authors: Bassier M.
Published: December 2023

Abstract. Converting deep learning methods from benchmark testing to real applications is highly sought after both in academia and the industry. Key challenges that remain are the performance of the methods on new datasets, the preprocessing of the data and the integration of the results into application pipelines. Specifically for the implementation of semantic segmentation procedures, each of these challenges are still very much the subject of research. In this paper, we present a testcase to digitally twin and validate an electrical substation. Concretely, we discuss the data processing, training and the follow up integration of the results in the validation pipeline. In the experiments, we show that 86% initial F1-score can be achieved using the proper transfer learning on 14 classes and that this results in a 97% recall on the validation and 80% recall on the digitization of the substation. Overall, we show that the segmentation significantly contributes to these processes and that they are absolutely necessary for the automation of the digital twinning.

Abstract. Pakistan has a unique landscape geographically due to its strategic geo-political importance. It has played a vital role in global climate and politics. There are various semantic segmentation studies performed on remote sensing high-resolution imagery of various urban and rural areas into major classes of buildings, vegetation, water, and roads. These analyses have supported the land coverage study, which can facilitate urban infrastructure management, forestry, disaster management, and climate challenges. Recent climate reports have confirmed the importance of these studies, especially for Pakistan. It’s a critical location for the global south to observe the climate catastrophe. This research will focus on three major cities of Islamabad, Karachi, and Quetta and semantically segment the satellite imagery to study the land coverage. Our research contributes the dataset from major cities of Pakistan and compare the performance of state-of-the-art semantic segmentation networks to evaluate the dataset. Benchmark can help in selecting a highly effective deep learning network and generalizing those networks on our prepared dataset.

Published: December 2023

Abstract. Reconstructing the geometric curves of highways holds significant value for various tasks, such as highway design, traffic simulation, and road network planning. An essential step in highway curve reconstruction is fitting highway curve models to the extracted road markings from laser scanning point clouds. Existing methods for highway curve fitting typically handle one curve at a time. However, a stretch of highway often contains multiple curves. In this paper, we introduce a novel method capable of fitting multiple highway curves simultaneously. The method leverages a reinforcement learning (RL) algorithm to achieve this goal. Specifically, we design a unique RL environment that empowers the RL algorithm to fit multiple highway curves. Our experimental results demonstrate the superiority of our method over other methods.

The purpose of this study is to examine the positioning of RA in the processes of
knowledge transfer and absorption currently taking place in the world. In this context, several problems were identified in the work. First of all, the experience of those countries that have recorded remarkable successes in the transfer and assimilation of knowledge, which have been recorded at the actual level of internationally calculated indices of absorption and transfer of knowledge, has been studied. The next step was to select them from the countries that have achieved success in the process of assimilation and transfer of knowledge, which, according to specific criteria, are close to Armenia. During the analysis, Armenia and isolated countries were compared not only by the actual levels of indicators of assimilation and transfer of knowledge but also by differences in the indicators of the above-mentioned indices. In the course of the conducted research, comparative and theoretical methods were used, including
various graphs and theoretical positions. A number of results were obtained in the research.
Special attention was paid to the factors, which mainly hinder the process of forming an
innovative economy in Armenia in the context of the assimilation and transfer of knowledge. It became clear that there is a need for a balanced policy approach to address the existing obstacles in the above-mentioned processes.
