Repetition of judicial review before the court of appeal - Problems encountered in Albanian judicial practice
Authors: Shehaj Enerjeta
Published: November 2024

Article 13 of the ECHR provides that: “Every person whose rights and freedoms recognized by this Convention have been violated, has the right to lodge an effective appeal before a national institution even when this violation has been committed by persons acting within the exercise of their official functions”. The right to effective appeal is a fundamental human right and implies the right of the individual to appeal, the existence of a certain body for reviewing the appeal, unconditional acceptance of the appeal for review, reasonable deadlines for its review, an objective review, judicial control, as a final check on the appeal.

The Court of Appeal judges as a court the fact and the law and as such it has the its own right but also at the request of the party to partially or fully repeat the judicial review.

Article 427, paragraph 4 of the Criminal Procedure Code has been amended recently by the Law 35/2017, whereby it is provided that: “When the defendant is found not guilty, the court of appeal cannot find him guilty solely on the basis of a different assessment of the evidence obtained in the first instance trial”.

Based on the grammatical and logical interpretation of this provision, it results that the criminal court of the reviewing jurisdiction cannot declare the defendant innocent by the criminal court of the original jurisdiction, on the basis of the same facts and evidence, but by assessing them differently, guaranteeing this way a provision the respect of the principle of non-compliance with the position of the defendant.

But what is put forward for discussion by the practice of the Courts is the fact that the Courts of Appeal have in some cases found the defendant guilty, on the same facts and evidence, on the basis of which he was declared innocent by the court of first instance, after the contrary assessment of the facts and evidence was made by the court of first instance, misinterpreting Article 427/4 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
Perspectives and challenges of Albania’s integration in the EU - From the fall of communism to the Thessaloniki Summit 1991-2006
Authors: Venxha Metin
Published: November 2024

In 1991 students filled the squares of Tirana under the slogans “We want Albania like Europe”, only few of them would have imagined that after 32 years from the fall of the communist regime, Albania would still be waiting to be part of the European family. The most optimistic thought that, once the regime fell, freedom and democracy would triumph and the integration process would take only a few years. As for the rest, this process would take time, but even for the pessimists it would never pass 2020.

The challenges of Albanian integration in EU, from 1991 to 2006, have been different and often the progress of undertaken reforms within the framework of the European integration has been slow and not at the required level. This slowness is often reflected in the European Commission reports or in declarations of different summits. This phenomenon reflects the limited culture in the state-building and that of political dialogue, which comes as a result of a strong isolation period, almost half a century under the communist dictatorship.

Between 1991 and 2006, the Albanian governments received financial and human resources from European organizations to help them abandon this self-centered strategy. This paper is written within the framework of International Visegrad Fund (IVF) Research Grand Programme of 2022, which involved consulting a significant number of archival papers in the European Union’s Historical Archive in Florence, Italy.

Published: November 2024

In artificial intelligence applications, the model training phase is critical and computationally demanding. In the graph neural networks (GNNs) research field, it is interesting to investigate how varying the graph topological and spectral structure impacts the learning process and overall GNN performance. In this work, we aim to theoretically investigate how the topology and the spectrum of a graph changes when nodes and edges are added or removed. Numerical results highlight stability issues in the learning process on graphs. In this work, we aim to theoretically investigate how the topology and the spectrum of a graph changes when nodes and edges are added or removed. We propose the topological relevance function as a novel method to quantify the stability of graph-based neural networks when graph structures are perturbed. We also explore the relationship between this topological relevance function, Graph Edit Distance, and spectral similarity. Numerical results highlight stability issues in the learning process on graphs.
Selenium - its role in physiology and endocrinology and as organoselenium compounds in oncology: A minireview
Authors: Brtko Julius , Podoba Jan , Macejova Dana
Published: November 2024

The present minireview traces the road leading to discovery of selenium, formerly appointed as a toxic element that became later a bioelement, which is necessary for the proper functioning of living organisms. Selenium occurs in human and animal bodies either in the form of seleno-Lcysteine or its dimeric form seleno-L-cystine as a crucial component of selenoenzymes or selenoproteins. Selenium atom represents an integral component of the enzyme active site of different forms of glutathione peroxidase, which catalyzes conversion of hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides into the water and corresponding alcohols. A revolutionary breakthrough in the field of endocrinology came with the identification of different forms of iodothyronine deiodinase as selenoenzymes, which play an important role in the metabolism of thyroid hormone. The role of selenium in immune function and autoimmune thyropathies that might be associated with selenium deficiency are reported and discussed. This minireview also brings forward novel directions of organoselenium compounds or selenium nanoparticles in cancer therapy. Based on the update of available literature and the author’s experimental experience, the minireview can be devoted to clinicians and medical students.

Authors: Kraľovičová Denisa , Ungerová Magdaléna
Published: November 2024

One of the most important functions of mass media is providing information to its recipients. In this context, language of media plays a key role, together with changes in the society that have an impact on the language used. The paper deals with contemporary trends that may be seen in media speech, especially the phenomenon of political correctness, especially the hot issue of gender identity and gender-sensitive language, while paying attention to differences that may be seen in various languages, mainly Slovak. The English language, which currently serves the function of lingua franca, takes a prominent position in all these trends, and the alternations in English subsequently fundamentally influence other languages.
Virtual social media communities and their effects on World Englishes
Authors: Almohawes Monera
Published: November 2024

This paper investigates the impact of social media use and virtual communities on world Englishes. The term world Englishes refers to the different varieties of how English is communicated worldwide. Kachru (1985) described the language’s spread in terms of three concentric circles: the inner circle, the outer circle, and the expanding circle. The inner circle comprises traditional bases of English where it serves as speakers’ first language, such as in the United Kingdom, the United States, and Australia. The outer circle refers to countries where English is an official second language, such as India and Kenya. The expanding circle includes countries where English is spoken as a foreign language or lingua franca, such as countries in Europe and the Middle East, as well as Japan. By exploring the varieties of English on social media, in this paper, the researcher examined how social media and digital communication affect these circles of world Englishes and how users position and use English. The researcher qualitatively analysed 15 X Spaces (former Twitter) following Mesthrie and Bhatt’s (2008) method of analysing syntactic and morphological structures and then examining the pragmatics features and discourse. This included the following components: (a) the noun phrase (b) the verb phrase and (c) other function words. The results show that people are using new Englishes in virtual communities. There are many variations in language use in the structural features of the participants’ language morphology, phrasal syntax, and pragmatics. The participants invented and used new language structures and understood them among each other. Based on this finding, in future studies, researchers could examine new Englishes in other virtual communities and their effects on people’s identities and languages.

Authors: Boguszewski Dariusz , Dobrowolska Joanna
Published: November 2024

Introduction.
The purpose of this study was to assess the effectiveness of elastic band exercises programme in assisting the training of amateur tennis players.

Material and Methods.
Study participants comprised 22 male amateur tennis players (participating in a minimum of two training sessions per week) aged 40-60. The participants were divided into two equal groups. Subjects from Group 1 were engaged in elastic band exercises after the main training. Prior to each intervention, the movement range of the shoulder joint and the velocity and precision of the service were measured (via the ITF test). The measurements were repeated after four weeks. Group 2 (control) underwent the same measurements but they did not perform any additional exercises. Differences between the results of individual measurements were determined using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs test, and differences between the groups were determined using the Mann–Whitney U test, with a level of significance of p ≤ 0.05.

Results.
Group 1 showed a significant improvement in service precision (p < 0.001). In Group 2, the results of both measurements were similar. Group 1 showed a lower service speed at the beginning, but after four weeks the progress was statistically significant (p < 0.001). Group 1 also showed a significant improvement in the movement range of the shoulder joint, albeit only on their dominant side.

Conclusions.
The elastic band exercises may improve the velocity and precision of the service in tennis. The use of the aforementioned method to assist in the training of tennis players seems justified.

Authors: Srisuk Sakchai
Published: November 2024

Introduction.
Regular physical activity is crucial for enhancing health-related physical fitness and overall well-being, with research demonstrating superior cardiovascular fitness in active individuals compared to sedentary counterparts. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a physical activity promotion program on physical fitness changes among Nakhon Phanom University students

Material and methods.
Thirty Nakhon Phanom University students (16 females, 14 males) participated in the study. The mean age was 18.57 ± 0.50 years, height 163.88 ± 6.44 cm, weight 54.79 ± 4.24 kg, and body mass index (BMI) 20.49 ± 1.90 kg/m². The intervention consisted of a 90-minute daily physical activity promotion program implemented over 12 weeks. Comprehensive physical fitness assessments were conducted pre- and post-intervention, measuring body weight, BMI, resting heart rate, body fat percentage, upper and lower limb muscle strength, and maximal oxygen consumption (VO₂max). Descriptive statistics and paired sample t-tests were used for data analysis, with statistical significance set at p < .05.

Results.
Following the 12-week program, participants exhibited significant physiological changes, including decreased resting heart rate, increased arm muscle strength, and improved oxygen utilization efficiency. These findings suggest that participation in targeted physical activity promotion programs positively impacts students’ health-related physical fitness.

Conclusions.
Encouraging students to participate in specific exercise programs can positively influence their health-related physical fitness. Universities should provide adequate facilities to enhance students’ potential and promote a healthy lifestyle through regular physical activity and good health practices. To establish a culture of exercise and well-being on campus, institutions should encourage students and staff to walk or bike more frequently, engage in outdoor activities, and participate in organized sports or fitness classes. By implementing these initiatives, universities can foster an environment that prioritizes physical and mental health, ultimately leading to improved academic performance and overall quality of life for the campus community.

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition that results in the continuous inflammation of the gastrointestinal (GI) tracts, and it is comprised of Crohn's disease (CD) as well as ulcerative colitis (UC). Several lines of evidence are emerging that probiotics - live beneficial microorganisms - are key in the regulation of natural GI tract flora and improvement of IBD-related clinical results. The purpose of this study was to assess and summarize the available data on probiotics' effectiveness in improving the symptoms of this clinical condition. A thorough search for relevant articles published between the years 2014 and 2024 was conducted using databases such as EMBASE, Web of Science, the Cochrane Library, and PubMed. The review was focused on research that analyzed the probiotic effects in IBD, specifically about Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium strains. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies reporting on symptom improvement, remission rates, quality of life, and inflammatory markers. Randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, cohort and case-control studies were included. The review highlighted that probiotics, specifically the VSL#3 formulation, demonstrated potential as an adjunctive therapy for IBD. Clinically, they help alleviate symptoms, reduce inflammation, and support gut wall repair. Nevertheless, heterogeneity in study designs, probiotic strains, and dosages preclude firm conclusions from being drawn. Although the current evidence is positive in this context, new research directions are needed by launching more extensive and well-organized clinical trials to serve as a reference point for standardizing probiotics use and principles of treatment administration; also considering their long-term safety among patients with IBD.

Objective: Determine the level of knowledge and frequency of use of sunscreen in g medical students from a Peruvian university. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional analytical research in 302 students, of both genders and different study cycles. A virtual survey was applied. Results: High level of knowledge 56%; increased with the study cycle p=0,006. Use of sunscreen was 28,8%, higher in women with 34,5%, it was significantly associated with the level of knowledge p=0,001, but not with the study cycle p=0,065. Mixed skin type (55%) and skin phototype III (58,3%) prevailed. The reason not to use sunscreen was the oily consistency. The question that had more correct answer was ¿Is solar radiation the main cause of skin cancer?.The use of sunscreen was significantly related to phototype p= 0,005. Conclusions: In the medical students of a Peruvian university, the level of knowledge about the use of sunscreen was high in 56%, higher in women, it increases significantly with the study cycle and favors the use of sunscreen. 28,7% of medical students always used sunscreen. The factors associated with the use of sunscreen were: the female gender, phototype and the level of knowledge.

Introduction: Domestic violence in pregnant women is considered a serious public health problem that affects the well-being of the mother and child. Objective: To determine the factors associated with intrafamily violence in pregnant women at the Tablada de Lurín Maternal and Child Center during the period 2021-2022. Methods: Analytical cross-sectional study. The clinical histories of a first level health center were used. The main variable was domestic violence; the independent variables were demographic and social characteristics, number of children and previous illness. Results: Domestic violence occurred in 15.63%. In the first simple regression analysis, it was found that pregnant women with more than 4 children, with a confidence interval of 2.44, presented a higher frequency of suffering intrafamily violence compared to pregnant women who had less than or equal to 2 children. In the second multiple regression analysis, it was observed that pregnant women with more than 4 children presented a higher frequency of suffering intrafamily violence compared to pregnant women who had less than or equal to 2 children. Conclusions: It was found that pregnant women who suffered family violence represented 15.6%. Pregnant women with more than 4 children were 239% more likely to suffer domestic violence than women with fewer than 2 children, regardless of maternal age, being married or single, having higher education or having a previous illness.
ENHANCING MOBILITY WITH IOT-BASED AUTONOMOUS WHEELCHAIR
Authors: Namiq Ahmmed Zhwan , Qader Kheder Mohammed
Published: November 2024

The shortage of healthcare workers and continuous influx of patients have significantly increased workloads in hospitals. Concurrently, there is an increasing number of people with disabilities, resulting in a higher need for wheelchairs. Yet, many hospitals continue to rely on traditional, manually operated wheelchairs. As a result, disabled patients often face prolonged waits for assistance from hospital staff to reach their intended destinations. To address hospital issues, the idea of autonomous wheelchairs, known as autonomous robotic wheelchairs (ARWs), has been proposed and developed. In contrast to traditional wheelchairs, ARWs integrate advanced features, including obstacle detection and avoidance, local path mapping through line-following technology, and user-friendly interactions. Patients in developing countries, including the Kurdistan region of Iraq (KRI), rely on hospital workers for transportation, which poses difficulties, especially during emergencies, such as overcrowding, delays due to a lack of available porters, etc. Implementing ARWs would significantly reduce these issues. Thus, the main aim of this study is to develop ARWs using technologies like Arduino and sensors to enhance hospital efficiency and reduce reliance on porters, potentially transforming patient mobility and care in healthcare facilities. The testing results of the proposed system indicate that its implementation will greatly assist hospitals in addressing various issues, including those previously mentioned. In addition, it will enhance hospitals’ intelligence and autonomy.
