Stress and occupational burnout of social workers as a challenge of education for social work
Authors: Stanek Katarzyna M.
Published: December 2022

Stress and burnout are one of the main risks in the workplace. It is a serious problem not only for the individuals affected, but also for organizations and society as a whole, and in the case of social workers also for relations with beneficiaries. Every third social worker in Poland employed in a social welfare institution shows all symptoms of occupational burnout and every third moderate level of occupational burnout. The phenomenon of burnout is one of the greatest threats that professionally active people have to face in the 21st century, it is gaining strength like a virus, spreading faster, the more disappointment, alienation and even anger accompany an employee, so it seems important to look at resistance to stress and coping from the perspective of minimizing the impact of stress and counteracting burnout. The proposed article is a theoretical reflection on stress and burnout, with particular emphasis on the importance of coping when performing the profession of a social worker. At the same time, it points to the need to include “coping with stress” in the set of basic skills and the obligation to educate within this scope at the level of acquiring qualifications and training.

Authors: HAUNSHI SANTOSH , RAJKUMAR U , PADHI M K
Published: December 2022

Backyard poultry production plays a vital role in providing animal protein at affordable and sustainable manner. Growth and production potential of indigenous chicken need to be improved through selective breeding to enhance the productivity of backyard farming. PD-4 birds (Aseel, indigenous breed) were subjected to selection for higher body weight over eight generations. Study investigated effect of selection on the performance of PD-4 birds with respect to economic traits. There was significant improvement in body weight and shank length at 8 weeks of age. Egg production up to 40 weeks had improved by 19.1 eggs. Egg weight at 28, 32, 36 and 40 weeks of age improved by 0.8, 1.3, 1.7 and 1.3 g respectively. Age at sexual maturity had declined by 14.2 days. There was no significant change in fertility and hatchability traits. Survivorsâ€™ egg production up to 72 weeks of age was 156.5Â±2.79 eggs while hen day and hen housed egg production were 144.9 and 137.5 eggs respectively. Egg weight consistently improved from 35.13 g at age at first egg to 48.07 g at 40 weeks and to 49.63 g at 72 weeks of age. The study demonstrated that indigenous chickens could be improved for body weight and egg production without affecting other economic traits and improved PD-4 variety has the potential to be used as improved dual purpose indigenous chicken variety for low input backyard poultry farming.

Published: December 2022

A study was conducted to predict the expected breeding values of 6 Gir bulls inducted under the All India Coordinated Research Project on Cattle. A total of 222 first lactation 305 days records of Gir daughters born between 2013 and 2017 were analyzed by Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) method using Model VIII of LSMLMW software. The BLUP model included the herd-year-season effect as fixed factor and sires as random factor. The overall average expected breeding value (EBV) was 2563.79 kg. The breeding values of Gir sires ranged between â€“71.13 to +150.71 kg. The results of the study revealed that the BLUP method discriminated the sires for their breeding values to a larger extent so that the genetically superior bulls can be discriminated from the poor bulls. Based on the results, use of frozen semen doses of two Gir bulls, viz. Pankaj and Bhavik is recommended to breed the Gir cows for increasing the milk production in subsequent generations.

Published: December 2022

Inland saline ground water (ISGW) has attracted great interest for commercial aquaculture of marine species in Haryana and Punjab. The silver pompano (Trachinotus blochii), a candidate for mariculture, was investigated for its potential to survive in inland saline water at ICAR-CIFE, Regional Centre, Rohtak, Haryana during 2015â€“16. The experimental set up comprised ISGW without potassium amendment, ISGW with potassium amendment and artificial sea water of 5 ppt, 10 ppt and 15 ppt salinity. In ISGW without potassium amendment, 100% mortality was observed at 12 h (5 ppt), 24 h (10 ppt) and 48 h (15 ppt). In the second experiment, three treatments (ISW5, ISW10 and ISW15) of ISGW with potassium amendment equivalent to sea water were prepared. A 100% survival was observed at all salinities in ISGW with potassium amendment, similar to the artificial seawater at the end of 90 days. Significantly higher weight gain, specific growth rate (SGR) and average daily growth (ADG) were observed at ISW10 and ISW15 than at ISW5. The plasma osmolality of silver pompano in ISW10 and ISW15 indicated that silver pompano regulates isosmotic condition to maintain the homeostasis of body. The present results indicate that silver pompano can be reared at 10 ppt to 15 ppt salinity with optimum growth and survival in potassium amended ISGW.

Introduction and Objective: Acute appendicitis is one of the most commonly diagnosed diseases in emergency departments, and it is the abdominal pathology that most frequently requires surgery. The purpose of this study was to investigate the value in the diagnosis of acute appendicitis of routinely investigated complete blood count parameters in patients presenting to the emergency department with abdominal pain.

Material and method: This study was planned as a retrospective cohort among patients over 18 years who were diagnosed with acute appendicitis in the tertiary emergency department in Türkiye between January 1 and December 31, 2019. Healthy volunteers aged over 18 with no active complaints undergoing routine blood tests for health screening were included in the control group. Both groups’ records were retrieved retrospectively from the hospital database. Data consisting of the groups’ demographic characteristics at the time of presentation to the emergency department and parameters obtained from complete blood tests were analyzed.

Results: A total of 1200 people were included in the study, 600 of which were in the control group. Men constituted 388 (64.7%) of the acute appendicitis patients and 380 (63.3%) of the control group(p=0.674). Leukocyte, neutrophil, nucleated red blood cell, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio values were significantly higher in the acute appendicitis group compared to the control group(p

Países, ciudades, industrias, empresas y personas de todo el mundo enfrentan el desafío de la digitalización, pero la transformación digital depende por un lado de la disponibilidad y del uso de las tecnologías digitales, y además de las capacidades desarrolladas y de las estrategias implementadas (Kraus et al., 2022; Kraus et al., 2019). Estudios recientes, como el realizado por Vial (2019) indica que las empresas operan en un entorno cada vez más complejo y que las tecnologías digitales ofrecen un enorme potencial para la innovación y el desempeño de las organizaciones, pero al mismo tiempo hace que sea mucho más difícil controlar los diversos elementos del entorno operativo, ya que actualmente la capacidad de las empresas para mantener su ventaja competitiva es más frágil que nunca. En ese sentido, Rachinger et al. (2019), señalan que las capacidades organizativas y las competencias de los empleados han sido identificados como futuros desafíos que deberán enfrentar las distintas industrias.

GIS-Integrated Approach for Non-Revenue Water Reduction in Sumbawanga Urban District, Tanzania
Authors: Zahor Zahor , Mromba Clement
Published: December 2022

This study sought to determine daily water consumption in the three zones of Sumbawanga Urban district. The study applied the geographical information system (GIS) to map and quantify non-revenue water (NRW), and tested the use of geospatial database management strategy to reduce NRW. The study used water distribution networks of zone A (Majengo ward), zone B (Katandala and Mazwi wards), and zone C (Chanji and Kizwite wards) that are served by the Sumbawanga Urban Water Supply Authority (SUWASA). The study collected water flow and water loss data by recording and mapping the existing water networks using a GPS device. The methodology for determining the quantity of NRW abstracted from the International Water Association (IWA), and maps made through QGIS, were used to show the degree of water loss by zones. A geo-database that assists in maintenance, budgeting, planning and procurement of water assets to reduce NRW was developed using postgress and postGIS, and connected to QGIS for visualization. Experimental results and computations indicate that around 8787.6m3 , 10718.3m3 , 14637.1m3 of water are consumed monthly in zones A, B and C, respectively. Furthermore, the results show that averages of 15.15%, 40.2%, and 24.52% of water are lost as NRW in zones A, B, and C, respectively. The NRW in all the three zones were greater than the maximum NRW of 20% recommended by Energy and Water Utilities Regulatory Authority (EWURA), and key performance indicators suggested by the SUWASA. This study inform planners and decisionmakers that management strategies should employ GIS to establish optimal routes for effective and quick response to bursts before losing a lot of water, instead of using traditional auditing systems that results into high NRW levels.
Determinants of the Availability of Non-timber Forest Products for Households’ Adaptation to the Effects of Climate Variability in Iringa District, Tanzania
Authors: Haule Tiemo
Published: December 2022

This cross-sectional study was conducted to examine determinants of the availability of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) for household use as a strategy for adapting to the effects of climate variability in the Kitapilimwa Forest Reserve (KFR) in Iringa district, Tanzania. The study involved 400 participants. Data were collected through structured interviews, in-depth interviews, focused group discussions, field observation and documentary review. Findings reveal that local communities in the study area are vulnerable to the effects of climate variability. Also, they show that 52.4% of the respondents extracted NTFPs from the KFR as a strategy for adapting to the effects of climate variability. Besides, the study found that the main determinants of the availability and effective household use of NTFPs as an adaptation strategy are anthropogenic degradation and loss of NTFPs, the implications of KFR access by-laws, effects of climate variability on the availability of NTFPs, perception of fairness of trade in NTFPs, and seasonal availability of NTFPs. The study concludes that despite the important role of NTFPs from the KFR being used as a strategy for adapting to the effects of climate variability, there are factors that limit the availability and effective household use of NTFPs as an adaptation strategy. It is recommended that the government involve local communities in developing a policy framework that promotes a sustainable harvesting of NTFPs. Also, the government and the private sector should support all efforts to diversify livelihood sources of rural households to reduce their dependency on natural forests. Lastly, the government should monitor and regulate trade in NTFPs.

Authors: Samantha Banbury  , Tiga-Rose Nercessian  , Chris Chandler  , Joanne Lusher
Published: December 2022

This systematic review examines the impact of alcohol dependence on sexual function amongst cisgender men and women, intersex, transgender, and gender-nonconforming individuals. Electronic searches using PubMed, PsycInfo, Web of Science, and registered clinical trials, yielded 22 relevant studies. Research looking at alcohol dependence and sexual dysfunction in cisgender women, and even more so intersex, transgender and gender non-conforming people has received comparatively less attention than for cisgender men, with a 1:5 ratio. Consensus of the included literature indicated that alcohol dependence does impact sexual functioning, which includes erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation for cisgender men and sexual desire and orgasmic difficulties for cisgender women. With an overall general shortage of research on alcohol dependence and sexual dys/function, psychosexual services remain limited when supporting dual-diagnosed and sex and gender diverse groups.

Economia: motor da interação humana com o oceano
Authors: Marques Miguek
Published: December 2022

O ritmo de utilização dos oceanos pelo ser humano está a ser muito superior ao compasso dos consensos que a humanidade está a conseguir atingir em fóruns internacionais. Esta divergência está a colocar os oceanos numa rota perigosa que pode gerar excessivas tensões ambientais, sociais e económicas, de consequências imprevisíveis. Alguns sinais de uso desmedido já se conseguem identificar claramente, em “ilhas” de plástico que existem em todos os oceanos e nos extremos índices de poluição costeira, identificados nos oceanos Pacífico e Índico asiáticos, bem como no Golfo da Guiné e em partes do Oceano Pacífico na América Central. Utilizando os mecanismos que levaram à criação das agências vocacionadas para o espaço, os países que mais utilizam os oceanos devem ponderar a criação ou upgrade de agências nacionais para o desenvolvimento sustentável através dos oceanos, mares, lagos e rios.

Caminhando entre memórias e manguezais em Saubara (BA) e importações baianas no biênio 2019-2020
Authors: Vieira Inadja Elizabete Nogueira Souza
Published: December 2022

O texto tem como proposta a descrição do trabalho das marisqueiras, a fim de compreender como se desenvolve o elo afetivo com manguezais, lugar de vida e de trabalho dessas mulheres que labutam na maré. A escolha dessa atividade laboral – exercida exclusivamente por mulheres –, em detrimento de tantas outras realizadas na região, se deu em função de essa ocupação estar intimamente vinculada ao convívio cotidiano com o manguezal. Fala-se de mulheres que têm o seu tempo demarcado pelo movimento das águas, na busca pelo alimento do corpo e da alma, vivências que produzem marcas nas mãos e no corpo. Elas estão entre o seco e o molhado, em um universo feminino que estabelece relações simbólicas com as divindades do mangue e do mar, revelando um sentimento maternal e protetor dos manguezais. O aporte teórico que guiou o trabalho foi, em especial, o fornecido por Tuan (2012-2013), que permitiu vislumbrar fragmentos de topofilia, observados in loco, os quais deram as pistas necessárias para o entendimento de como as memórias impactam e servem de substrato para mecanismos de preservação do ecossistema manguezal.
Investigação da dinâmica costeira e de processos erosivos entre Praia do Forte e Guarajuba
Authors: Nervino Milena Reis , Klammler Harald Rene
Published: December 2022

A zona costeira está sujeita a mudanças morfológicas ao longo do tempo devido à dinamicidade dos processos costeiros. A interação entre o ângulo da linha de costa e o clima de ondas atuantes é um dos principais fatores atuantes na dispersão do sedimento na costa, que pode desencadear processos erosivos e progradacionais. Neste trabalho foi utilizada a rosa de deriva litorânea (RDL) para investigar a dinâmica costeira na região entre Praia do Forte e Guarajuba, no litoral norte da Bahia, onde foram identificados trechos sob erosão da linha de costa. Nessa região foram mais frequentes ondas com altura entre 1,2 m e 1,4 m, períodos entre 7 s e 9 s, e direção nos ângulos entre 90° e 135º (E, ESE e SE). As maiores magnitudes de transporte de sedimento encontradas a partir da RDL ocorrem onde a linha de costa tem azimute entre 65° e 80° e entre 155° e 170° e podem ser percebidas em Guarajuba, Itacimirim e Praia do Forte, áreas em que a taxa de transporte de sedimento é de aproximadamente 28.000 m3/ano. O transporte para a direita e para a esquerda, com o observador de frente para o mar, é de aproximadamente 26.000 m3/ano. O transporte é nulo onde a linha de costa tem azimute de 118°. O sentido da deriva litorânea é mais significativo de nordeste para sudoeste. O transporte tem maior intensidade nas zonas adjacentes aos recifes. Logo, é evidente que os recifes interferem na ação dos processos costeiros nessa região, chegando a provocar erosão em sua retaguarda. Palavras-chave: Transporte de sedimentos. Rosa de deriva litorânea. Erosão.

This research was conducted at the Department of Plant Pathology, University of Agriculture Peshawar during the 2011 growing season of the crop to determine the response of various cultivars of cucumber to different isolates of the downy mildew fungus Pseudoperonspora cubensis under artificial epiphytotic conditions. Five cucumber cultivars (Desi, Long Green, F1 hybrid, Dollar and Khyber) were tested for their response to infection by four different isolates of Pseudoperonospora cubensis. Significant differences (p<0.05) were found among the treated and control plants. F1 Hybrid and Dollar F1 were found to have the least disease severity. Among the isolates, isolate 4 caused the highest disease severity. In control plants, the disease severity was less. The interaction of cultivars and isolates was also significant in disease severity after thirty and forty days of inoculation.

Published: December 2022

The progressing globalization processes and new technological solutions require the organiza- tion to constantly adapt to changes taking place in the environment. More and more compa- nies implement process management, both at the strategic and operational levels, considering the project and knowledge perspective. The article aims to show the usefulness of building the concept of integrated process management, based on the triad: processes, projects, knowl- edge in modern enterprises. The following research methods and techniques were used in the article: analysis of the literature on the subject, comparative analysis of the results of research carried out in the world, and the effects of own research carried out in Poland. The research has shown that usefulness of integrated business process management is ensured by the coordina- tion of processes and links with strategic and operational assumptions, synergies of processes, projects, and knowledge. Such a solution can help the organization and transformation pro- cesses in the effective implementation of the strategy.
INFLUENCE OF BORON, ZIRCONIUM, AND TELLURIUM ON THE IMPACT
TOUGHNESS OF X8CrNiS18-9 STEEL
Authors: Mujagić Derviš , Imamović Aida , Hadžalić Mustafa
Published: December 2022

Steel X8CrNiS18-9 (standard EN 10088-3: 2005) is the most commonly used from the group of austenitic
stainless steel in terms of machinability. The content of sulphur present in the steel from 0,15 to 0,35% has
the exclusive task to improve the machinability. However, while sulphur improves machinability it
simultaneously reduces the resistance of steel to corrosion but also affects the decrease in mechanical
properties particularly steel toughness. Due to its harmful effect on the steel, as well as the fact that the
non-metallic inclusions are insufficiently tested for this type of high-alloy steel the aim of this study is to
determine the appropriate microalloying possibility to modify the non-metallic inclusions.
The aim of this work is that explore the influence of boron, zirconium, and tellurium on the impact
toughness of the mentioned steel. Change of impact toughness, depending on the chemical composition of

Background: Vaginitis is one of the most common complaints in women around the world. Cinnamon is one of the medicinal plants for which there is contradictory evidence of its effect on vaginitis. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of cinnamon on the treatment and recurrence of candidal vaginitis. Methods: We performed this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial from April to August 2014 in Tehran, Iran. Totally 120 women aged 15 to 45 years clinically and paraclinical approved candidiasis vaginitis were included by convenient sampling at first and then were randomly allocated to 2 groups. The intervention group received 2.5 g of cinnamon powder. The control group received 2.5 g of placebo. Both groups should apply a vaginal applicator of clotrimazole cream (1%) daily. Vaginitis symptoms were evaluated with the researcher-made questionnaire and checklist at baseline, 4th, and 7th days of the treatment. Recurrence was evaluated 2 months later. Results: A significant decrease was seen in itching (from 83% to 11%) (P-value = 0.001), burning (from 71% to 5%) (P-value = 0.003), suprapelvic pain (from 65% to 3.3%) (P-value = 0.001), dyspareunia (from 80% to 7%) (P-value = 0.001) on the 7th day of the treatment in the cinnamon group. In the placebo group, a significant decrease was shown in itching (from 90% to 20%) (P-value = 0.001), burning (from 81.7% to 8.3%) (P-value = 0.001), dyspareunia (from 78% to 35%) (P-value = 0.001) and suprapubic pain (from 68% to 16.7%) (P-value = 0.001). After 2 months, recurrence was 45% in the cinnamon group (P-value = 0.001), but it was 71.7% in the placebo group (P-value = 0.003). No adverse effects of cinnamon were recorded. Conclusions: The efficacy of oral cinnamon capsule is better than clotrimazole vaginal cream in the treatment and recurrence of vaginal candidiasis. Therefore, the use of these products may be an effective remedy for vaginal candidiasis.

Authors: Zheng Yu Li
Published: December 2022

Air Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have the characteristics of simple structure and convenient carrying, while quadrotor UAVs have better manoeuvrability, can achieve fixed-point hover, and have vertical takeoff and landing capabilities. Additive Manufacturing (AM) is also often referred to as 3D printing. In the past ten years, AM technology has received extensive attention. Among the seven categories of AM technologies released by the American Society for Testing and Materials, Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) is one of the most widely used and essential processing technologies in additive manufacturing. It mainly manufactures models by extruding molten wire (such as plastics, resins, composites, etc.). First, consider the additive manufacturing of the quadrotor aerial UAV entirely through fused filament fabrication, and control the UAV's flexibility by adjusting the filling material's parameter during the additive manufacturing process. However, the increased flexibility makes it difficult to control the UAV, and the structural, aerodynamic and aeroelastic effects must be further explored.

In the conventional Proportional Integral Derivation (PID) controller, the parameters are often adjusted according to the formulas and actual application. However, this empirical method will bring two disadvantages. First, testing the program takes much time and usually needs help to reach the optimal solution. Second, the PID parameters will not adapt to the new environment when the situation changes. This paper proposed a method by employing a Block Particles Swarm Optimization (BPSO) to enhance the conventional Proportional Integral Derivation (PID) algorithm to overcome the mentioned disadvantages. The genetic algorithm (GA) first optimized the PID parameters. However, its optimization time is relatively long. Then, a Block Particle Swarm Optimization (BPSO) algorithm is designed to solve the problem of long optimization time. This method was then applied to the wall-following robot problem by realistically simulating it to confirm the performance. After Compared with conventional methods, the proposed method shows a relatively stable solution.

Wheat is an essential crop for global food security, and for good development and to achieve satisfactory yields wheat needs favorable climatic conditions and adequate nutritional support. Was executed a bifactorial experience, of the AxB model A - phosphorus doses: P0; P40; P80; P120; P160 and B - nitrogen doses: N0; N30; N60; N90; N120. The research carried out during the period 2020-2022 aimed to determine the optimal doses of the two nutrients for the autumn wheat crop in achieving the most efficient yields. Nitrogen is the factor with the greatest contribution to the formation of yield, an amount of 30 kg/ha s.a. can bring an increase in yield of 22%, growth that decreases with the additional application of others 30 kg/ha s.a. N. Phosphorus has a lower contribution to yield, as a unilateral factor, but it is important in plant nutrition, especially as a support for nitrogen.

Monitoring and 3D modeling of an objective can only be done on the basis of high-precision topo-geodetic measurements, but also on the basis of UAV (drone) technologies, thus resulting in an overview of a certain study area. In this context, the present work aims to develop the creation of the 3D model of a grassland surface following a topographic survey by means of GNSS technology and specialized programs. This topographic survey was carried out with the Leica Viva GS07 GNSS equipment, an instrument that contains a wide range of applications. In this work, I used the Real Time Kinematic method to determine the points based on which I created the 3D model in AutoCAD using the TopoLT program. Because the data obtained is complex, in addition to 2D plans, we also have information that can be analyzed in 3D. For studies regarding the shape and the way of exploitation of the land, we created a digital model of the land which is the 3D digital representation of the respective surface. Based on the digital terrain model, we can easily visualize the relief of the grassland, in the present case the minimum altitude is 572.50 m, and the maximum altitude is 590.00 m, with a level difference of 17.5 m over the entire area. This digital terrain model can also be used to model water flow or other geomorphological processes that occur in the analyzed grassland (landslides, erosion, etc.). Multiple longitudinal or transversal profiles can be created over the entire surface to better observe the relief of the land.

As a kind of dynamic real-time monitoring technology, microseismic monitoring technology has been widely used for rockburst warning. Due to the complexity of the actual monitoring environment, the monitoring signals often contain different types of noise, affecting the earning warning of rockburst. In this study, an Autoencoder Convolutional Neural Network denoising model based on deep learning has been proposed to denoising of the complex signals. The unsupervised adaptive training method is used to train the model, which only needs to set its initial parameters. The importance of an enhanced training dataset is illustrated by the comparison experiment. The results indicate that the training and verification shows well performance during training. The denoising efficiency of the proposed model is studied by the denoising of the synthetic noise-containing signals. Furthermore, the dataset from the water conveyance tunnel in the Hanjiang-to-Weihe River water diversion project (HJ-Project) in Shaanxi Province is taken as an engineering example to evolute the performance of the proposed model for practical project. The denoising performance of the model is analysed through the visual denoising results and evaluation index. The model can effectively denoise the complex noised signal which separate it into pure microseismic signal and noise signal, and improve the signal-to-noise ratio, which is benefit for arrive-time picking and source locating then improve the performance of early warning of rockburst.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: Vaccines against the SARS-CoV-2 virus have been developed to curb the spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Healthcare workers (HCWs) have an increased risk of contracting and transmitting COVID-19. In addition, they also have a powerful influence on patient vaccination decisions. Earlier surveys had reported the willingness of HCWs to receive the vaccine; however, the actual uptake of the vaccine has rarely been reported. This study aimed at determining the actual uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine among healthcare workers in a tertiary hospital in Nigeria. Methodology: The study was a cross sectional descriptive study that analyzed the data generated by the vaccination team that was mandated to administer the first batch of the COVID-19 vaccine to the HCWs at the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital (UATH). Results: Out of 1718 HCWs, 387(22.5%) received the vaccine, 63.8% of whom were males. Vaccine uptake was highest among pharmacists (52.9%) and doctors (42.4); while uptake was lowest among the laboratory scientist (9.6 %) and the cleaners (9.8%). Vaccine uptake was higher among those with higher educational attainment compared to those with lower educational attainment. Conclusions: The actual uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine among HCWs in Nigeria may be much lower than the potential uptake as reported in earlier surveys. The expression of willingness to take COVID-19 vaccine may be different from the actual acceptance of the vaccine. To understand the true magnitude of COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy among HCWs in Nigeria, we recommend that the actual uptake of the vaccine be evaluated.

How Well Do Protected Areas Safeguard Endangered White-Clawed Crayfish in Croatia?
Authors: Maguire Ivana , Lovrenčić Leona , Temunović Martina
Published: December 2022

Croatian freshwaters are inhabited by four native European crayfish species. One of them is the white-clawed crayfish which is distributed in the waterbodies draining to the Adriatic Sea. This species is endangered by anthropogenic pressures on its habitats, climate change and the introduction and spread of non-native invasive crayfish species and their pathogens, with several documented declines occurring in a number of populations. Consequently, it is declared endangered and protected by international and national legislation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the pan-European Natura 2000 network and national protected areas in conserving the white-clawed crayfish diversity in Croatia through a GIS-based approach that overlays a map of protected areas with species distribution data, also known as a gap analysis. The analysis revealed that 66% of the white-clawed crayfish populations are covered by protected areas (including Natura 2000 sites). Results of this study are useful for the evaluation of protected areas in the conservation of this key freshwater species, and for direct future management plans.

ABSTRACT

Background/aim: Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, chest computerized tomography (CCT) was shown to be more sensitive than real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain Reaction (rRT-PCR) in detecting the disease, especially in regions with high disease prevalence. In this study, we aimed to determine the sensitivity and specificity of chest CT in the diagnosis of COVID-19.

Materials and methods: Between 17 March, 2020 and 25 April, 2020, 2170 patients who were admitted to the hospital for any reason and underwent chest CT scanning were retrospectively analyzed. Patients with a pre-diagnosis of COVID-19 and a positive rRT-PCR test, two consecutive negative rRT-PCR tests, or with a first negative rRT-PCR test and a positive follow-up rRT-PCR test were included. The day of the rRT-PCR test for these patients was counted as day “0,” and 200 patients whose CCT was performed within +/- three days were included in the study.

Results: Of the 200 patients included in the study, 118 were rRT-PCR-positive, and 82 were rRT-PCR-negative. Of the 118 patients with positive rRT-PCR results, 62/118 (52.5%) had positive CCT scans. With the rRT-PCR results as the reference, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of CCT in indicating COVID-19 infection were 52.5% (95% CI 43–61%), 67% (95% CI 56–77%), and 58.5% (95% CI 51-65%), respectively. The negative predictive value of CCT in diagnosing COVID-19 was greater for women than for men (p = 0.01).

Conclusions: In regions where the prevalence of COVID-19 is not high, the use of CCT in the diagnosis of the disease is not an alternative to the rRT-PCR test due to its low sensitivity.
Del Rey y su persona. Examinando las previsiones sobre la Corona que contiene la Constitución y revisitando la cuestión de la inviolabilidad
Authors: Martínez Sospedra Manuel
Published: December 2022

En el presente artículo se examinará la inviolabilidad de la persona del Rey. Tras un examen del Derecho Histórico Constitucional relativo a la Corona, se argumentará que la continuidad textual entre dicha Constitución y la vigente redacción del Título II de la Constitución de 1978 no redunda en una equivalencia normativa, pues responden a principios de legitimidad distintos, como también es diferente el sistema de gobierno constitucionalmente prescrito.
Seguidamente se analizará el régimen de la Corona en relación con las potestades de las Cortes, de lo cual concluiremos que en un sistema parlamentario rigurosamente monista, el Rey puede poseer auctoritas, pero carece radicalmente de potestas.
Una vez establecida la diferencia entre los “actos del Rey”, y los “actos de la persona del Rey”, que se dan cuando el monarca opera al margen de su actividad constitucional, se estudiará la figura de la inviolabilidad en la persona del Rey.
