Krízové situácie s akcentom na ukladanie (porušovanie) povinností
Authors:   Paneurópska vysoká škola, Noé Gréta
Published: July 2023

V období od marca 2020 bol opakovane vyhlasovaný a predlžovaný núdzový stav z dôvodu tzv. pandémie COVID-19. Príspevok poukazuje na ústavne konformné možnosti fakultatívneho obmedzenia základných práv a slobôd ako aj na fakultatívne možnosti ukladania povinností počas krízových situácií v Slovenskej republike s akcentom na tzv. prvý núdzový stav, ktorý predstavuje najmenej závažnú krízovú situáciu. Riešená problematika si vyžadovala analýzu úmyslu ústavodarcu, ktorý pred viac ako 20 rokmi inkorporoval do základného zákona štátu blanketové normy poskytujúce právny základ pre riešenie krízových situácií. Následne prijal ústavný zákon, ktorý blanketové ústavné normy podrobne vykonáva. Z trestnoprávneho hľadiska poukazujem na trestný čin, ktorý môže byť spáchaný výlučne počas trvania krízovej situácie.

Alterung, Verkehrszunahme und zum Teil wenig dauerhafte Konstruktionen setzen der Verkehrsinfrastruktur zu. Viele ältere Tragwerke sind den gegebenen Belastungen nicht mehr gewachsen und benötigen eine statische Ertüchtigung. Dies gilt auch für die Krumbachbrücke in Österreich. Nach eingehender Untersuchung unterschiedlicher Verstärkungskonzepte soll das Tragwerk in einer Pilotanwendung mit Textilbeton unter laufendem Verkehr auf Querkraft und Torsion verstärkt und instandgesetzt werden. Im Zuge einer Versuchsbegleitung im Vorfeld der Baumaßnahme wurden die Traglaststeigerung des weiterentwickelten Verstärkungskonzeptes zur Querkraft- und Torsionsverstärkung von Plattenbalken mittels Textilbeton aufgezeigt und Ansätze für die Bemessung abgeleitet. So konnte das Konzept erfolgreich umgesetzt werden. Die Ausführungsarbeiten an der Brücke laufen seit Mai 2022.

Authors: Manny Agemar , Hofmann Felix , Stempniewski Lothar , Stark Alexander
Published: July 2023

Während die Produktivität der deutschen Gesamtwirtschaft in den letzten drei Jahrzehnten signifikant angestiegen ist, verzeichnet das Baugewerbe im gleichen Zeitraum keine Fortschritte. Das Bauen ist nach wie vor ein hochindividualisierter Prozess mit geringem Vorfertigungsgrad, bei dem ein Großteil der Arbeit in händischer Form auf der Baustelle verrichtet wird. Effizienzsteigernde Effekte einer seriellen Vorfertigung mit hohem Automatisierungs- und Standardisierungsgrad bleiben so weitestgehend ungenutzt. Gleichzeitig steigt der Rohstoffbedarf, vor allem im Kontext des globalen Betonbaus, in rasantem Tempo immer weiter an. Im Hinblick auf die klimapolitischen Ziele und die durch den demographischen Wandel hierzulande sinkende Anzahl an verfügbaren Arbeitskräften ist ein zukünftig effizienterer Einsatz von Arbeitskraft und Ressourcen im Bauwesen alternativlos. Das modulare Bauen mit industriell vorproduzierten Bauteilen kann hierbei einen wichtigen Beitrag leisten. Im Rahmen des vorliegenden Beitrags werden die Anforderungen bei der Entwicklung entsprechender Baukastensysteme herausgearbeitet, beispielhafte Anwendungsfälle dargestellt sowie Forschungsergebnisse zur Entwicklung einer geeigneten Schnittstelle zwischen einzelnen Bauteilen präsentiert.

Introduction. The coexistence of cardiovascular diseases and frailty has been demonstrated, with the prevalence of frailty ranging from 19% to 76%. The presence of frailty significantly influences decision-making regarding the type and timing of diagnostic strategies. Objectives. To assess the features of frailty syndrome in patients with heart failure. Material and methods. A comprehensive search was conducted in PubMed, Google Search, and ResearchGate databases using the keywords “frailty”, “heart failure”, following the STROBE criteria and PRISMA recommendations. Outcomes. The first publication on frailty syndrome in patients with heart failure dates back to 2007, with research in this area peaking in 2021. The prevalence of frailty in heart failure varies due to differences in age groups, assessment methods, and study designs. Frailty affects approximately 70% of heart failure patients over 80 years of age, challenging the stereotype that frailty is solely associated with elderly individuals. Recently issued data by the World Health Organization (WHO) stated that although frailty and heart failure are common in older adults, the prevalence of frailty in this category of patients is independent of age. It is worth noting that frailty is more common in women, yet women tend to have a better prognosis. Diagnosing frailty in heart failure patients is challenging due to the overlap of clinical symptoms. The interaction between heart failure and frailty increases the risk of decompensation, dependency, and negative outcomes. Conclusions. Previous studies have primarily focused on frailty in elderly patients with heart failure. However, chronological age cannot represent an independent parameter in the assessment of frailty, and patients with heart failure should be assessed for the presence of frailty sovereignly of age for prudent risk stratification. Recognizing and early identification of frailty across all age groups will improve prognosis by reducing hospitalizations and enhancing quality of life.
Ethical implications of placebo using in clinical practice
Authors:   Department of Psychiatry, “Carol Davila” University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania, Matei Valentin ,   “Prof. Dr. Alexandru Obregia” Clinical Psychiatric Hospital, Bucharest, Romania
Published: July 2023

Many authors consider that placebo history is in fact the history of medicine and this is probably true to a large extent. The placebo effect is still extremely used in clinical activity, between 41% and 99% of clinicians worldwide using this intervention. One definition of placebo is: “A medicine or procedure prescribed for the psychological benefit to the patient rather than for any physiological effect”. If we consider both placebo interventions and administration of placebo substances, it is impossible to separate patient-physician interaction (including the environment where the physician performs his/her activities or where the interaction takes place) from placebo effect. There are two extreme poles as regards placebo use in clinical practice: first pole – anything useful for patient's health is good, therefore, as long as we do good to the patient, we can use any placebo variant and, the second one – the patient must know everything about his/her treatment and placebo use is absolutely counter indicated/forbidden without patient's absolute/explicit agreement, but even in this case using placebo effect is rather non-ethic and useless. It is so difficult to separate the very complex interaction between physician-patient from placebo effect as currently defined. Therefore, we can simply renounce, up to the moment when we will have a complete and coherent definition of this effect, to use the concept of “placebo in clinic practice” because for the moment this concept doesn't bring much clarity to the field. It is the authors believe that pushing the principle of patient's autonomy into overdrive risks to pervert the fundamental aspect of medicine - trust and also to push this relationship into a kind of commercial relationship, it is true, one of a somehow special type.

Background: One of the most discussed adverse effect of antipsychotics is hyperprolactinemia. Dopamine antagonists block the D2 receptors of the lactotroph cells and prevent inhibition of prolactin secretion which determines increased levels of prolactin. Typical antipsychotics can increase the prolactin level up to 10 times the normal values, haloperidol and chlorpromazine producing a higher increase than olanzapine, prolactin increasing during the first week of treatment and returning to normal after 2-3 weeks. Atypical antipsychotics determine lower increasing in prolactin compared to first generation, but amisulpride and risperidone have been associated with higher levels of prolactin. Material and methods: We present the case of a 29 years old woman who developed hyperprolactinemia under treatment with Amisulpride, although the clinical evolution was improved. Case particularities: One of the particularities of this case was the high level of prolactin induced by treatment with Amisulpride, another particularity being the fact that patient's work and social functionality was not impaired, even if the auditory hallucinations persisted. Conclusions; Antipsychotic-induced hyperprolactinemia should become a focus of interest in the drug treatment of psychiatric patients. Endocrine symptoms occur in a large proportion of women treated with prolactin-elevating antipsychotic drugs. These symptoms can cause significant distress and may affect compliance with medication. The presence of menstrual irregularities, breast symptoms and sexual dysfunction should be assessed before and during treatment with prolactin-elevating drugs and management options should be discussed with the patient.

Background: Non adherence to medication is a major risk factor contributing to relapse and hospitalization among patients with schizophrenia. Treatment with antipsychotics in depot formulations is recognized as safe and effective for improving medication adherence.(1) Objectives: Metabolic and quality of life assessment of patients treated with olanzapine depot Methods: We studied 24 patients in treatment with olanzapine depot, monitored between 2011-2017. For metabolic assessment we used data from patients' clinical recordings (variation in Blood Pressure, glycaemia, cholesterol, triglycerides, BMI) and for quality of life assessment SF-36.questionnaire and data regarding socio-professional, familial reinsertion, number of relapses and hospitalizations obtained from clinical interview. Results: The studied sample comprised 16 men and 8 women, diagnosed with schizophrenia, most of them being previously treated with oral olanzapine. Most of the patients were under treatment with olanzapine depot 300 mg i.m., two shots per month (at 2 weeks distance). Two patients lost weight, the majority of them had no significant variation in BMI, one patient with increase of 8,4 units in BMI, two patients with stable BMI. 7 of 12 patients had increased cholesterol levels, the rest of biological parameters being normal. Two patients had post-injectional somnolence. 13 patients had no relapses, 3 patients were noncompliant, 3 had relapses, 3 were lost from monitoring and 2 were changed on orally administered olanzapine. 4 patients had total score above 50 at the mental component of SF-36 and 4of them had total score above 50 at the physical component of SF-36. Conclusion: In the studied sample, most of the patients had a favorable evolution regarding clinical aspects, familial and socio-professional reinsertion and metabolic outcomes, which confirms the fact that olanzapine depot is a safe treatment associated with low incidence of relapses. Further studies are needed on large samples, in order to evaluate quality of life in patients treated with olanzapine depot.
Adult ADHD and substances

Published: July 2023

In recent literature there has been an increasing interest in discussing the diagnosis, evolution, therapeutic approach in ADHD patients, because of the innovation regarding this pathology. ADHD symptoms are rather chronic over the life of the individual, the disorder persisting in the adult life. Frequently the symptoms are complicated by the development of comorbidities, some of them being the substance-use disorders. Several topics have been discussed. Some of them explain the way these disorders appear, how they are temporally connected. Other mechanisms involved refer to the necessity of autocorrecting ADHD symptoms by the use of different substances (automedication). Another important issue is the possible influence of the stimulant medication in generating addictive problems, an important element that has been debated.

Introduction: The diversity of personality traits and rigidity of the categorical model of personality disorders has favored the introduction of a new dimensional model in DSM 5. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to find certain correlations between the traits of the categorical model and the facets of the alternative DSM-5 model, the description of the 6 personality disorders undescribed from this model's perspective and testing the reliability of PID-5 inventory at the level of domains. Methods: We included in our study a group of 155 students (n=155) who completed the “Personality Disorder Questionnaire 4” (PDQ-4) and the “Personality Inventory for DSM-5” (PID-5). Results: We found strong positive correlations between the schizoid personality traits and detachment (r=0.61; p=0.0001); between schizotypal personality traits and psychoticism (r=0.61; p=0.0001); between avoidant personality disorders and negative affectivity (r= 0.60; p=0.0001). Rehabilitation has been assessed by means of Cronbach's alpha factor. Beside the Disinhibition domain (alpha=0.65) we have noticed reliability indices with alpha values over 0.7. Conclusions: The alternative DSM-5 model, through its 25 trait facets, becomes a very important tool in the assessment of the personality profile.

Personality disorders are known in the classical psychiatric literature as “psychopaties”, leading to a permanent or episodic maladaptation of the individual in the social, professional, relational, marital integration field. Family and social factors can always influence a pathological personogenesis, starting with the very primary network of social support. Persistent adjustment difficulties may outline a personality disorder which can be developed during critical periods in life. Disharmonic traits, favor the contact with negative life events, which associated with relational difficulties, may be involved in the onset of certain psychotic disorders. The evolution of the latter depends on a great number of personological, social and spiritual factors.

Published: July 2023

Patient reported health related quality of life outcomes have considered as valid information when deciding the treatments and making protocols in cancer management. The aim of the study was to assess the health-related quality of life of oral cancer patients who receive radiotherapy (RT) with or without chemotherapy and the changes in health-related quality of life. A prospective study was conducted among 90 oral cancer patients who receive RT with or without chemotherapy. Two European Organization for the Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaires: EORTC QLQ-C30 and EORTC QLQ-H&N35, were used to assess health-related quality of life before RT, during the last week of RT and three months after RT. The majority were males (88%) and 68% were aged 50-69. The median scores of all the domains and items in EORTC QLQ-H&N35 and symptom domains and items in EORTC QLQ-C30 were higher during the last week of RT compared to the baseline (most scores were zero). Except for ‘Appetite loss’ item, all the symptom domains and items scores were lower at three months after RT than the median scores during last week of RT. Statistically significant differences were observed in almost all the changes in health-related quality of life between three time frames (p<0.05). Health-related quality of life of oral cancer patients declined due to RT from baseline to the last week of RT and improved three months after RT from last week of RT but had not returned to the baseline level.

Member states of the European Union take a similar regulatory position on DRUID. All of the EU countries punish this offense. In Hungary, section 237 of Act C of 2012 on the Criminal Code (CC) criminalizes ‘Driving under the influence of drugs’. Over the last decade, we have witnessed a significant and consistent increase in this crime. While 178 DRUID crimes were registered in 2014, from 2018 to 2022 on average 969 DRUID driving was recorded yearly, which means more than five times increase annually. According to Hungarian law, presumptive tests are not eligible, and detecting active/inactive metabolite from the urine is not enough for a conviction. Detection of active metabolite in the blood is necessary for a guilty ruling. The law does not determine the required concentration of each drug in the blood to determine being under the influence. This task lies in the competence of a medical expert. In Hungary, there is no unified accepted practice for the limit value of each compound, and there is no unified expert practice in this field. Therefore, the opinion of experts is highly varied, even for the same active ingredients and similar blood concentrations. Aim: Present study aims to evaluate how DRUID is regulated in Hungary and how it differs from the regulation in other EU countries. The Ministry of Interiors Professional Committee for Medico-Legal Experts was formed to create a good practice and prepare a unified guideline for this issue.Methodology: For preparing the study, authors have reviewed international and national legislation norms and professional rules. Systematic domestic and international literature review was also performed.Findings: The research has shown that it is impossible to calculate blood concentration during criminal action from the results detected during the expert examination. The reason for this is that, in most cases, there is no sufficient scientific evidence on the dynamics of the metabolism of active ingredients in the human body. Furthermore, numerous studies have pointed out that the results of the medical examination used simultaneously with the blood tests are not reliable. At the same time, the law requires proof of the actual influence of drugs. Therefore, the only accepted reliable evidence is the detection of active metabolite in the blood. In this new Guideline, authors are suggesting specific limits for each active substant. It can help evaluate the question of being under the influence of drugs in criminal procedure. Value: The authors are the first in Hungary to make a recommendation on this task.

Aim: Besides defining the concept of emoticons used in Internet-based communication, the aim of this study is to examine the criminal procedural relevance of emoticons in certain crime cases and their legal assessment by the judiciary.Methodology: The methodology applied is the overview of foreign scientific literature on the legal aspects of emoticons, the review of the relevant parts of the effective Hungarian law on criminal procedure and other legislation applicable during the criminal procedure, furthermore analysis of court cases.Findings: Based on the findings of foreign scientific literature, the clear trend is the ever wider spread of the use of emoticons, therefore the increase in the number of crime cases where case-specific legal assessment of emoticons is necessary. According to the Hungarian law on criminal procedure, it may need to be appoint a forensic expert to evaluate emoticons. However, experiences of the crime cases examined hereby shows that neither the prosecution nor the defense requested it, and the court did not consider it necessary to appoint an expert in order to examine the meaning of emoticons in a given communication. According to the nearest judicial interpretation from 2018, the meaning of emoticons is so unclear that they are not suitable for proving the seriousness of the intention.Value: This study examines the meaning and categorization of emoticons and their potential importance in crime cases. It overviews those provisions of the Hungarian law on criminal procedure which may be relevant when assessing the use of emoticons. Finally, the study gives an analysis through court cases on the current approach to emoticons by the Hungarian judiciary.

The aim of this study is to provide insight, through a case study, into different aspects of forensic psychological and psychiatric examinations of children in relation to the sexual coercion of minors and the circumstances of traumatization.Methodology: As minor victims and suspects are also subject to forensic examination in criminal expertise, a number of practical issues arise. In the case study presented here, the issue of child prostitution will be analyzed by outlining the life story of the 17-year-old subject, her current life situation, her actions, and her emotional factors.Findings: The case is representative of the seriousness of the problem, the victim's vulnerability, her hopelessness, and the length of the criminal proceedings. A causal relationship between life events and current anxiety disorders and psychological instability is demonstrated.Value: Law enforcement professionals are often faced with the need to assign a forensic expert. Law enforcement training and clinical psychology and psychiatric professional competence represent significantly different knowledge. This study, through the presented expert tasks, provides useful assistance to law enforcement officers in the performance of their daily tasks.

The term 'armed security guard' creates inappropriate associations in lay – and, unfortunately, often also professional – circles. From a grammatical point of view, the term means a security guard on duty with a weapon. If this is not the case, what distinguishes it from the real thing? Where does armed security guarding fit into the domestic law enforcement structure and what are its specialities and problems? What historical context has shaped the organisation into its present form? Is armed security guarding, which is considered by many to be unique and has a Hungarian model, really a Hungaricum? What other countries have similar organisations in this field? How can the current structure cope with the challenges of modern policing?Aim: The aim of the paper is to present the place, role and current state of armed security guarding in the law enforcement structure in a way that the historical and international perspective help to understand the reasons for the current situation and problems.Methodology: The paper describes, presents and examines the aspects that have led to the current form of armed security guarding.Findings: The study aims to clarify the nature of armed security guarding. The study also seeks to demonstrate that armed security guarding has an increasing role in the present and will continue to have in the future, while at the same time the preparation to meet the law enforcement challenges of our time must begin as soon as possible.Value: The scientific value of the study is that it can provide a basis for the professionalisation of the regulation of armed security guarding.
Implications of Atmospheric Nondetections for Trappist-1 Inner Planets on Atmospheric Retention Prospects for Outer Planets
Authors: Krissansen-Totton Joshua
Published: July 2023

JWST secondary eclipse observations of Trappist-1b seemingly disfavor atmospheres >∼1 bar since heat redistribution is expected to yield dayside emission temperature below the ∼500 K observed. Given the similar densities of Trappist-1 planets, and the theoretical potential for atmospheric erosion around late M dwarfs, this observation might be assumed to imply substantial atmospheres are also unlikely for the outer planets. However, the processes governing atmosphere erosion and replenishment are fundamentally different for inner and outer planets. Here, an atmosphere–interior evolution model is used to show that an airless Trappist-1b (and c) only weakly constrains stellar evolution, and that the odds of outer planets e and f retaining substantial atmospheres remain largely unchanged. This is true even if the initial volatile inventories of planets in the Trappist-1 system are highly correlated. The reason for this result is that b and c sit unambiguously interior to the runaway greenhouse limit, and so have potentially experienced ∼8 Gyr of X-ray and extreme ultraviolet–driven hydrodynamic escape; complete atmospheric erosion in this environment only weakly constrains stellar evolution and escape parameterizations. In contrast, e and f reside within the habitable zone, and likely experienced a comparatively short steam atmosphere during Trappist-1's pre-main sequence, and consequently complete atmospheric erosion remains unlikely across a broad swath of parameter space (e and f retain atmospheres in ∼98% of model runs). Naturally, it is still possible that all Trappist-1 planets formed volatile-poor and are all airless today. But the airlessness of b (and c) does not require this, and as such, JWST transit spectroscopy of e and f remains the best near-term opportunity to characterize the atmospheres of habitable zone terrestrial planets.
Implications of Evaporative Cooling by H2 for 1I/‘Oumuamua
Authors: Hoang Thiem , Loeb Abraham
Published: July 2023

The first interstellar object observed in our solar system, 1I/‘Oumuamua, exhibited several peculiar properties, including extreme elongation and nongravitational acceleration. Bergner & Seligman (hereafter BS23) proposed that evaporation of trapped H2 created by cosmic rays can explain the nongravitational acceleration. However, their modeling of the thermal structure of 1I/‘Oumuamua ignored the crucial cooling effect of evaporating H2. By taking into account the cooling by H2 evaporation, we show that the surface temperature of H2-water ice is a factor of 9 lower than the case without evaporative cooling. As a result, the thermal speed of outgassing H2 is decreased by a factor of 3. Our one-dimensional thermal modeling that takes into account evaporative cooling for two chosen values of thermal conductivity of κ = 0.01 and 0.1 WK−1 m−1 shows that the water ice volume available for H2 sublimation at T > 30 K would be reduced by a factor of 9 and 5 compared to the results of BS23, not enabling enough hydrogen to propel 1I/‘Oumuamua.

This study focuses on the genus Dioncomena and its acoustics, particularly the unique songs produced by male Dioncomena that consist of several distinct elements in a fixed sequence, culminating in a coda that typically elicits a response from a receptive female. We also examine the inflated pronotal lobes, which we term prebullae, that are prominently developed in some Dioncomena species but not in others. We discuss the role of prebullae in the context of acoustic communication in Dioncomena and other related Phaneropterini genera that have similar lateral pronotal lobes. We found that prebullae size is correlated with habitat distribution, with larger prebullae occurring in isolated species while aggregation-prone species have smaller or less pronounced prebullae. Using micro-computer tomography we show sexual dimorphism in the 3D geometry of the acoustic tracheae, being larger in the male. Interestingly, the tracheae are coupled by a septum, like in field crickets, which suggests potential cross talk.

We define three groups of Dioncomena based on altitude preferences, ecology, color patterns, and songs: the jagoi-, tanneri-, and ornata-groups. We describe the songs of several species, including newly identified species such as D. flavoviridissp. nov., D. magomberasp. nov., D. ngurumontanasp. nov., D. sanjesp. nov., D. tanneri, D. versicolorsp. nov., and D. zernyi. We also provide information on the nymphs, development time, and mating behavior of various species reared in the laboratory, shedding light on their phenology and adaptations to their habitats.
Evaluation and mapping of the positive and negative social values for the urban river ecosystem

Urban rivers play a crucial role in providing ecosystem services (ES) that contribute to the social well-being and quality of life of urban inhabitants. However, rapid urbanisation has led to the progressive degradation of these rivers, affecting their capacity to deliver ES and resulting in significant socio-ecological impacts. This study performs a participatory mapping of the non-monetary social values (positives and negatives), in the urban Zamora and Malacatos Rivers and their ESs, in Loja, Ecuador, to understand community perceptions and preferences in a context of degraded landscapes as a complementary category of analysis to traditional approaches. Methodologically, the collection, analysis and mapping were carried out using public participation GIS (PPGIS) based on surveys. This method facilitated the integration of social data with biophysical variables. The most relevant of the ten social values studied were positives: Learning, Aesthetic, Therapeutic and negatives: Displeasure, Deficient and Inaccessible Infrastructure and Threat of Flooding. We revealed different spatial patterns for each ES social value, where positive value locations exhibited a dispersed pattern, with clusters in peripheral areas, while negative value locations exhibited a clustered pattern in the city centre. The environmental variable with the most significant contribution was the Horizontal Distance to Green Areas. These findings enhance our understanding of the social values and preferences associated with ES in urban river contexts. Furthermore, they provide valuable insights for identifying areas of opportunity and conflict, informing community planning and effective management of the urban landscape.

Ecosystem Accounting provides a framework to measure and value relationships amongst ecosystems, society and the economy. The accounts measure ecosystem extent, condition and services, providing the means to identify and internalise ecological degradation, as well as understanding the risks and dependencies of economic activities on the environment and tracking progress towards sustainable development. The OSPAR Convention, which concerns the protection of the Marine Environment for the North-East Atlantic, has committed to accounting for natural capital and ecosystem services, where the UN System of Environmental Economic Accounting – Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA) provides an international accounting standard for guidance in compiling accounts. Here, we describe the first attempt in compiling accounts aligned with SEEA EA at a Regional Sea scale. We: (i) identified existing open access data, (ii) produced accounts for selected ecosystems and valued their services and asset value and (iii) identified challenges and lessons learned. For ecosystem services, we measured fish provisioning, carbon sequestration and outdoor recreation from coastal and marine environments across OSPAR contracting parties. The exercise identified lack of fitting data at regional level, spatially-explicit linkages and harmonisation need to be overcome to further expand accounts. This work represents an initial step to progress on ecosystem accounting and demonstrates that even with limited data and incomplete time-series, accounts can start being compiled to identify data gaps and prioritising next steps.
