BLIŽA INTEGRACIJA ZEMALJA ZAPADNOG BALKANA SA EVROPSKOM UNIJOM NA OSNOVU NOVE METODOLOGIJE PROŠIRENJA EU
Authors: Ceranic Perisic Jelena
Published: November 2020

Rad analizira mogućnost bliže integracije koja je zemljama Zapadnog Balkana stavljena u izgled novom metodologijom proširenja EU. Predviđeno je da ukoliko zemlja napreduje u prioritetnim reformama, to će dovesti do bliže integracije zemlje sa Evropskom unijom, radu na ubrzanoj integraciji i postepenom uključenju u pojedinačne politike EU, tržište EU i programe EU, uz obezbeđenje jednakih uslova. Polazna teza u radu je da, iako nova metodologija sadrži određene novine, većina instrumenata na kojima počiva nije nova, već su postojeći instrumenti prava EU, ali u „novom ruhu”. Uporednopravnom analizom koncepta diferencirane integracije, institucionalizovanog Osnivačkim ugovorima u vidu odredbi o bližoj saradnji, i instrumenta bliže integracije predviđenog novom metodologijom proširenja EU, dolazi se do zaključka da je bliža integracija samo jedan od modaliteta diferencirane integracije, fenomena koji postoji u EU od njenog osnivanja. Ključna razlika je u tome što se mogućnost bliže integracije predviđa i bez punopravnog članstva u EU. S obzirom na šturost teksta nove metodologije, mogućnost uspostavljanja bliže integracije zemalja Zapadnog Balkana sa EU otvara niz praktičnih i teorijskih pitanja. U kontekstu političkih, pravnih i ekonomskih izazova sa kojima se EU trenutno suočava, rad nastoji da osvetli neke aspkete bliže integracije o kojima se uopšte ne govori u javnosti. Posebna pažnja posvećena je izvodljivosti bliže integracije u praksi, kao i prirodi, ciljevima, dometima i perspektivi ovog instrumenta.

COVID-19 global pandemic caused by Sars-CoV-2 virus, has worried to health care providers due to the high mortality rate related to coagulopathy in many patients. COVID-19 coagulopathy is mainly thrombotic, first locally in lungs but later on it becomes micro and macrovascular systemic coagulopathy. It has been associated to endothelial damage, inflammation, neutrophil-extracellular traps, monocyte and macrophage activation, cytokines storm that induce a vicious cycle of thrombosis and inflammation. The increased levels of prothrombotic factors as tissue factor, Von Willebrand factor, fibrinogen, VIII factor and the decreased levels of antithrombotic factos, such as: antithrombin and Protein S have been reported in COVID-19 patients. Insufficiency of fibrinolysis because of the increased levels of PAI-1 (plasminogen activator inhibitor 1) have been reported also. During this disease there are intraalveolar fibrin deposits that needs to be degraded. Fibrinolysis of thrombus and fibrin intraalveolar degradation are responsible for the high increase of D-dimers levels that are an important predictor of severity of the disease. In this report, the physiology of hemostasis, thromboinflamation secondary to Sars-CoV-2 infection are reviewed, as well as the clinical evidence and the physiopathology of COVID-19 coagulopathy from the basic sciences point of view.

A prática transfusional é a transferência de componentes sanguíneos do doador para o receptor, ela é necessária em casos de cirurgias, traumatismos, doenças hematológicas como a anemia falciforme e em pessoas que sofreram grande perda sanguínea. O contato com agentes estranhos ou não próprios, como antígenos eritrocitários, induz o organismo a desencadear uma resposta imunológica, no qual produz anticorpos por plasmócitos, este fenômeno é conhecido como aloimunização que é caraterizado pela produção de anticorpos anti-eritrocitários irregulares. Ao longo dos anos foram descobertos mais de 36 grupos sanguíneos e diversos fenótipos de antígenos eritrocitários. O presente trabalho teve por objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática descritiva da literatura afim de pesquisar a frequência dos anticorpos irregulares anti-eritrocitários em doadores de sangue. Foram encontrados 294 artigos, dos quais 290 foram da base de dados Pubmed, 02 da Scielo e 02 do Lilacs. Destes, 06 foram selecionados para o estudo e os demais (288), excluídos por não obedecerem aos critérios de inclusão. Os anticorpos mais frequentes foram Anti-M, Anti-Leª, Anti-Leᵇ, Anti-N e Anti-P1 respectivamente, identificados com diferentes métodos imunohematológicos nos países da Índia, Lao, Tailândia, e Noruega, sendo mais prevalentes em homens, sendo que em alguns estudos foram mais frequentes em mulheres e outros em homens. Portanto é necessário a pesquisa de anticorpos irregulares em doadores de sangue para prevenir reações hemolíticas e doença hemolítica do recém-nascido (DHRN).

Are the group-based interventions improving the functional exercise capacity and quality of life of frail subjects with chronic heart failure?
Authors: Papathanasiou Jannis Vasileios
Published: November 2020

Objectives: Frail subjects with chronic heart failure (CHF) often demonstrate limited tolerance of exertion, shortness of breath, and reduced walking capacity resulting poor quality of life (QoL). The aim of this study was to quantify the improvements in functional exercise capacity (FEC) and QoL among Bulgarian frail subjects with CHF performed group-based high-intensity aerobic interval training (HIAIT)/m-Ullevaal intervention and to compare it with moderate intensity continuous training (MICT) protocol. Methods: One hundred and twenty (n=120) frail subjects with mean age of 63.73±6.68 years, in CHF and NYHA class II-IIIB, were enrolled in the single-center, prospective, two-arm randomized controlled clinical trial conducted at the Medical Center for Rehabilitation and Sports Medicine-I-Plovdiv. The baseline assessment included 6-minute walk test (6ΜWT), peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), modified Borg Perceived Exertion Scale (mBPES), and Minnesota living with the Heart Failure Questionnaire (MLHFQ). Results: The improvement in 6MWT (P<0.001), VO2peak (P<0.001), mBPES (P<0.001), and MLHFQ (P<0.001) observed among frail subjects performed HIAIT/m-Ullevaal intervention was significantly greater compared to the improvement observed in the subjects performed MICT protocol (P<0.001). Conclusions: The group-based HIAIT/m-Ullevaal intervention is a new perspective and challenge for both, Bulgarian cardiac rehabilitation (CR), and frail patients with CHF.
Coupling of unsaturated and saturated flow modelling - a strong point of the small research catchment Uhlířská
Authors: Vitvar Tomas , Šanda Martin , Jankovec Jakub
Published: November 2020

Modelling results in the small (1.78 km2) experimental catchment
Uhlířská located in the northern part of the Czech Republic at the
average elevation of 822 m a.s.l. are presented. While the basic
hydrological and meteorological monitoring has started already in 1982,
investigation of the subsurface flow adjoined in 1995. A detailed survey
of water and isotope (18O, 2H, 3H, 3H/3He) fluxes across the catchment
storage compartments has been in operation since 2006. The combined
vadose/saturated zones modeling with support of partial extrapolation of
18O content in precipitation yielded the following mean balance for the
period 1961-2014: 456 out of 1220 mm annual precipitation depth are
percolating through the soil matrix domain and 534 mm through the
preferential domain in the hillslope soil profile. The saturated zone is
recharged annually by 416 mm, consisting of the entire matrix flow and
12,5 % of the preferential flow from the permeable hillslopes covered
by Cambisols and Podzols, as well as by the contribution of 22 mm from
the less permeable riparian wetland Histosols. The aquifer geometry was
determined by means of electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) including
inverse modelling (RES2DINV). Water and isotope fluxes were computed
using a sequence of models. They include S1D software for the vadose
zone modeling including 18O transport and Modflow, Modpath and MT3DS
determining residence time and flow trajectories in the saturated zone.
Isotopes 3H and 3H/3He improved the model confidence. The water
residence time on the hillslopes does not exceed 1 year, while the
saturated zone indicates about 10 years, with a 20% portion of water
older than 100 years in the deepest part of the aquifer. The combination
of numerical modelling approaches with computation of water balance and
isotope-supported calibration is considered innovative, particularly the
3H/3He method to determine water residence times of young groundwater in
the saturated zone.

Timed intercourse in infertile couples doing more harm than benefits in terms of sexual dysfunction and time to pregnancy: a cohort study
Authors: Dasgupta Sujoy , Frodsham Leila , Patra Paramita , Chanda Abhyuday
Published: November 2020

Objective: To study the differences in sexual dysfunction (SD) and time
to pregnancy (TTP) between infertile couples pursuing timed intercourse
(TI- around the time of ovulation) and regular intercourse (RI- at least
twice a week). Design: Prospective cohort study Setting: Infertility
clinics of Kolkata over three years Population or Sample: Infertile
couples pursuing TI (n=283) or RI (n=88), having no preexisting sexual
or psychiatric illness, and no medical contraindications to frequent
intercourse. Methods: At the first visit, SD of both the partners was
assessed using the Arizona Sexual Experiences Scale (ASEX) and the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition
(DSM-V). The couples for whom natural conception was possible were
followed up to determine TTP using Kaplan Meier Analysis. Main Outcome
Measure: Differences in SD and differences in TTP. Results: TI
significantly increased the risk of SD than RI for both males (Odds
ratio [OR] 15.24, 95% confidence interval [CI] 7.96-29.15) and
females (OR 5.52, 95% CI 2.38- 12.78). This difference persisted even
after adjusting for age, medical disorders, obesity, smoking, cause of
infertility, and previous assisted reproductive techniques. TI carried a
higher risk of developing ED, premature ejaculation, male hypoactive
sexual dysfunction, female sexual interest-arousal disorder, and female
orgasmic disorder. IIEF-5 score was significantly better in the RI group
than in the TI. The TTP for natural conception was similar between them
(Log-rank p= 0.1365). Conclusions: TI increased the risk of sexual
dysfunction without accelerating the time to achieve pregnancy, compared
with RI.
Global-scale drivers of ploidy state in aquatic macrophytes

Published: November 2020

To determine potential drivers of the global distribution of ploidy in
aquatic macrophyte species we allocated ploidy state to 1572 species
occurring in 238 10 × 10° gridcells worldwide. Analysis of the
relationship of 16 global-scale spatial, landscape, environmental, and
biotic variables with ploidy state using Boosted Regression Trees
revealed temperature variables and evapotranspiration as the strongest
predictors. There were contrasting latitudinal patterns between
haploid/diploid and polyploid species, while species richness measures
also influenced ploidy state. Polyploid species occupied larger
geographical ranges than haploid/diploid species. Mixed ploidy species
showed the highest latitudinal range size and maximum latitude of
species occurrence. Our findings suggest that increased chromosome
number is associated with tolerance of a wider range of environmental
conditions in macrophyte species. Mixed ploidy could reflect
adaptability to expand geographical occurrence via chromosome number
change, with such species predominantly occupying a latitude range
intermediate between haploid/diploid and polyploid macrophyte dominance.
Women’s experiences of consenting to episiotomy: a qualitative interview study
Authors: Djanogly Tanya , Nicholls Jacqueline , Whitten Melissa , Lanceley Anne
Published: November 2020

Objective To explore how women undergoing episiotomy experience
and perceive the consent process. Design Qualitative interview
study. Setting A postnatal ward in a London teaching hospital.
Sample 15 women who had recently undergone episiotomy.
Methods Semi-structured, audio-recorded interviews were
analysed using thematic analysis. Main outcome measures Themes
derived from analysis of interview transcripts. Results Three
themes emerged in relation to women’s experiences of the episiotomy
consent process: 1) realities of episiotomy practice, 2) information
provision and 3) voluntariness of consent. Practical realities such as
time pressure, concern for the baby’s health and women’s state of
exhaustion, constrained consent discussions. Minimal information on
episiotomy was shared with participants, particularly concerning risks
and alternatives. Participants consequently inferred that there was no
other choice to episiotomy. Whilst some women were still happy to agree,
others perceived the consent process to be illusory and disempowering,
and subsequently experienced episiotomy as a distressing event.
Conclusions Consent to episiotomy is not consistently informed
and voluntary and more often takes the form of compliance. Information
must be provided to women in a timelier fashion in order to fulfil legal
requirements, and to facilitate a sense of genuine choice.
Funding The study has not received grant funding. The research
team are funded by the Higher Education Funding Council for England
(HEFCE). Keywords Episiotomy, consent, women’s experiences,

Convexity of hesitant fuzzy sets based on aggregation functions
Authors: Huidobro Pedro , Alonso Pedro , Janis Vladimír , Montes Susana
Published: November 2020

Convexity is one of the most important geometric properties of sets and a useful concept in many fields of mathematics, like optimization. As there are also important applications making use of fuzzy optimization, it is obvious that the studies of convexity are also frequent. In this paper we have extended the notion of convexity for hesitant fuzzy sets in order to fulfill some necessary properties. Namely, we have found an appropriate definition of convexity for hesitant fuzzy sets on any ordered universe based on aggregation functions such that it is compatible with the intersection, that is, the intersection of two convex hesitant fuzzy sets is a convex hesitant fuzzy set and it fulfills the cutworthy property.

Relative locations of the two groups of 2005–2006 Mukacheve series of recurrent earth­quakes were determined using an algorithm designed based on an assumption that a grade of cross-correlation between the records of recurrent events at the same station decays exponentially with separation between their sources, the locations turning out to arrange into almost a flat surface in each of the groups. After application of the algorithm to a combined set of cross-correlation coefficients of the two groups their sources just the same appeared to belong to the same plane, their relative locations very similar to ones determined in [Gnyp, 2010] with application of differential travel times and source specific station terms.

As low velocity zones result from temperature destruction of rocks uncompensated by pressure at 5-20 km depths, changes in T at these depths can lead to change in intensity of the thickness of these zones and rate of decrease in Vp within them. Crustal thermobaric zones are shown to increase, decrease and disappear depending on ∂T/∂Н, ∂Р/∂Н, λ, Т. Instability of the crustal thermobaric zones of low velocity result in their episodic occurrence in the crust and their vertical and horizontal migration depending on temperature fluctuations in the crust.

Introduction of the Low-Entropy Signal Concept
Authors:   Peter the Great S.Petersburg Polytechnic University, KOROVKIN Nikolay V. , GRITSUTENKO St. S. ,   Omsk State Transport University
Published: November 2020

The article introduces the concept of a low-entropy signal as a time dependence that has a small variability coefficient. A high-entropy radio signal and a low-entropy electrical signal are compared. It is determined as a result of modeling that the variability coefficient of the electrical signal is 100 or more times smaller than the radio signal variability coefficient; therefore, this indicator is selected as a criterion for discrimination of electrical and radio signals. A conclusion is drawn about the need to improve the mathematical techniques for digital processing of signals for analyzing the currents and voltages in electric power systems. It is also shown that low entropy of an electrical signal can be used for improving the accuracy of instrumentation and control equipment. The effect of quantization noise degeneration into a set of harmonic components in modeling the analog-to-digital conversion of currents and voltages in measurement devices is considered. A procedure for compensating this effect by adding white Gaussian noise prior to carry out the quantization operation is proposed. A procedure that allows better accuracy of instrumentation and control equipment to be obtained by using the low entropy of an electric signal is presented. The analog-to-digital converter circuit diagram is given, and the gain in the conversion accuracy is estimated.

In connection with the development of alternative energy sources around the world, much attention is paid to the rapidly growing field of development and manufacture of flow batteries, devices using which it is possible to solve the network balancing problem under the conditions of unpredictable solar and wind energy generation patterns. These energy storage devices are in many respects similar to fuel cells, and researchers translate some design features of the latter to the design of flow batteries. Two designs of vanadium flow batteries are compared: a battery with the electrolyte flowing through a porous body and a battery with the electrolyte flowing through a serpentine-patterned channel. Additionally, the geometry of the serpentine-patterned channels is optimized to obtain a design with the best characteristics. The performance efficiency of the vanadium flow battery used as part of an uninterruptible power supply system is estimated. The study results show that the design with a serpentine-patterned channel, when estimated without taking into account the losses for operation of the pumps and pumping through the entire circuit, and during operation at 99,5 % of its capacity, has the maximum efficiency at a level of 88,2 %, whereas the design with the flow through a porous body and operating at the same power has the efficiency at a level of 85,3 %. An approach using which the parameters of a cell with a serpentine-patterned channel can be determined has been developed.

The basic technical requirements posed to such converters are formulated. The general structural diagram of high-voltage converters with improved electric power consumption quality is given. Possible power circuit arrangements for the high-voltage converter input unit based on single-phase input current correction devices are considered. A classification and criteria for comparative evaluation of the possible power circuit arrangements of these devices are proposed. The information presented in the article will be of interest for specialists engaged in designing on-board electrical systems involving high-voltage converters that must comply with strict requirements for the quality of consumed single-phase input current.

The current COVID-19 pandemic highlighted something that was already known for decades: modern governments need to master the art of equilibristics – they need to offer public value in all governance arenas while battling increasing levels of uncertainty and change. Looking back at the last decade, unpredictable change has been the norm rather than the exception (whether it is at political level – Arab Spring (2011), 2016 US elections, Brexit (2016) – social – Occupy Wall Street movement (2011), EU migrant-refugee crisis (2016), Black Lives Matter, #Metoo movement – or economic – the economic crisis of 2008, which prompted the sovereign debt crisis in multiple EU countries, China replacing the US as the largest economy) the environment in which governments operate in has never seen such a particular type of dynamic. The COVID-19 pandemic can be seen almost as an organic culmination of this dynamic, a perfect storm, highlighting the essence of the new environment in which governments operate: highly complex, unpredictable, and interdependent – in one word turbulent. The point is not to discuss the nature of these changes or whether they match perfectly the definition of a black swan event, but rather to raise an important question: how should governments (and society as a whole) react and adapt to such challenges? Are the current institutional structures and patterns of governing able to deal with this turbulence? From a governance perspective, two major concepts stand out as a potential framework of dealing with such situations: adaptive governance (Hatfield-Dodds, 2007) and turbulent governance (Ansell, Trondal and Øgård, 2017).
The COVID-19 Emergency in European Public Health: An Evaluation of Measures in the Transition from Healthcare Services to Healthcare Profiling
Authors: COMITE Ubaldo
Published: November 2020

The healthcare system is at the centre of great attention, having to demonstrate the adequate use of constantly decreasing available resources against a growing healthcare demand. In this context, the diseases characterized by the length of the healthcare assistance plan and high complexities in terms of treatments and complications must be considered. The above may refer to the healthcare emergency following the spread of the COVID-19 virus, employing an enormous amount of resources from both a human and a financial point of view. Using crisp-set qualitative comparative analysis, we conducted a comparative study at the European level to study the performance of different combinations of COVID-19 containment measures along with the response speeds. The outcome of this analysis can assist in identifying which set of containment measures, in the event of an epidemic outbreak, is beneficial/detrimental. This work considers combining theoretical considerations and empirical evidence related to the treatment of COVID-19, within what is the success of public health measures in Europe during the COVID-19 emergency.
Resilience in Times of Pandemic: Is the Public Procurement Legal Framework Fit for Purpose?

"This article aims to analyze whether the legislation enacted in the field of public procurement in Romania, based on the 2014 EU Directives, is effective in fostering resilience of the public institutions and indirectly of communities, and to
provide a fit-for-purpose mechanism for dealing with the pandemic generated by the new type of coronavirus, Sars-CoV-2. The article discusses the necessity of new rules meant to promote swiftly purchases during the state of emergency.
Undoubtedly, the pandemic generated crisis has raised some serious challenges to which public procurement regulations is in principle properly equipped to deal with: urgent need for supplies, works and services, but also unemployment or protection of other disadvantaged categories of people. We argue that resorting to specific tools
(negotiated procedures, framework-agreements, centralized procurement, sustainable and social procurement, reserved contracts) when carrying out swift interventions generated by the pandemic would have been more suitable during this health crisis or even for preventing the effects of this pandemic. Instead, the attention of the legislator has been concentrated only on (unnecessarily) exempting the swift purchases of medical equipment from the rule of law. "
COVID-19 Incidence in Europe: Drivers and Government Interventions

"This study aims to identify the determinant country-level factors that impact the trend of registered death cases from the recently emerged infectious disease COVID-19, analyzing data from March 2020 to July 2020, for 40 European countries. We use four categories of indicators covering major areas of influence: health, demographic, economic, and societal/cultural indicators. We reduce the dimensionality of the data to three latent factors by applying a Principal Component Analysis method, and we employ a multiple linear regression model to estimate the effects of these
factors on the trend of death rates. The main result of the study is that a decreasing trend of death cases is the effect of a functional and citizen-oriented state, and is not only impacted by characteristics of the medical system
or by individual features. Our findings also suggest that the premises for a low mortality rate are built by policies that have effects in the long- and medium-term. These policies refer to economic growth, sustainable development, healthcare, and the creation of a stable political system and an efficient administration."
Post-Pandemic City: Historical Context for New Urban Design
Authors: MIR Veaceslav
Published: November 2020

Cities have been almost completely unprepared for the COVID-19 pandemic. Urban history has known many epidemics and pandemics, and there are clear historical parallels between the 13th and 19th century plague pandemics and cholera epidemics and the 21th century COVID-19 pandemic, from an administrative point of view. However, the cities’ public administration did not take into account the experience of the cities of the past to be prepared for the future problems. This requires developing flexible pandemic strategies and focusing on the decentralization of urban space through an even distribution of population in the urban environment. The COVID-19 pandemic will change the city, as previous pandemics and epidemics did. Urbanism v.3.0. will emerge, combining a green vector of development and digital technologies to ensure the autonomy and sustainability of buildings, districts and cities. At the same time, the role of culture will increase, which will become an effective tool for consolidating the soft power of the city in order to attract new people as the opposition of nowadays trend for living in the countryside.
Whether and How Does the Crisis-Induced Situation Change E-Leadership in the Public Sector? Evidence from Lithuanian Public Administration

Published: November 2020

In the course of the pandemic, the remote working and e-leading (leading through information and communication technologies) have also become the usual mode in public administrations, yet research on their consequences for employees in the public sector remains scarce. The aim of this article is to reveal what challenges and tensions emerge in relation to e-leadership in Lithuanian municipal administrations and how the pandemic influences e-leadership and its effects on municipal employees. A qualitative exploratory empirical study based on semi-structured interviews was conducted in a Lithuanian municipal administration before and during the pandemic caused by the COVID-19. It was found that, before the pandemic, e-leadership was mostly initiated by individual supervisors in municipal administrations who encouraged employees to use various e-tools for communication and daily performance of tasks; however, it was poorly supplemented by teleworking. The crisis-induced situation made e-leadership mandatory because of implemented teleworking. It has led to a massive agglomeration of e-leading tasks by supervisors who play the crucial role in instructing employees to use e-tools, gathering and sharing the information, monitoring and reviewing the division of functions and tasks. We also discuss the critical effects on employees, such as multitasking and total availability, resulting from e-leadership and teleworking.

When talking about children’s abilities, they indeed cannot be separated from their educational or training background. Moreover, he has entered the working age that must have productivity in his work, especially at this time, where the era has entered the industrial revolution 4.0. The industrial revolution 4.0 is marked by the development of digitalization in various lines of life. On the one hand, the industrial revolution 4.0 had many positive impacts. However, on the other hand, as the McKinsey Global Institute states that as a result of the 4.0 industrial revolution in the next five years, there will be 52.6 million jobs that will decline and even disappear. This certainly will be a challenge for the centennial generation (children born from 1996-2011) at this time, which they have to survive with the existing conditions and situations. This paper will discuss several factors that describe and address issues such as what is meant by the centennial generation, literacy, and the urgency of literacy education for the centennial generation in the digital age. According to authors, thi is essential to discuss, given the increasingly rapid development and technological progress resulting in the loss of much work.

Published: November 2020

While protected areas (PAs) are established primarily for biological diversity conservation and provision of ecological services, social dimensions comes into play. This paper extends the discourse on PAs’ impact to local communities by focusing on the latent functions and social consequences utilizing Robert Merton’s Functional Analysis. Based on in-depth interviews among community leaders and elders, and forest custodians around Mount Hamiguitan, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, it is revealed that establishment of PAs entails varied consequences beyond what are being intended and manifested. While communities availed of some latent benefits from the declaration of the PA, they also have responses that limit the success of conservation initiatives. Hence, forest protection is a complex social and political process that demands more integrative response on community’s social, cultural, and political structures and dynamics.
