The Role of Reading in English Language Classrooms
Authors: Laličić Aldiana , Dubravac Vildana
Published: September 2021

Being able to read well is crucially important for language learners. Successful performance at elementary and high school level, as well as on higher levels of academic education, is partly dependent on the ability to read. It is believed that good learners are those who are proficient in reading. However, building such a connection between a reader and the written information is complex for both English as a second language (ESL) and English as a foreign language (EFL) students, and requires the application of various reading strategies. The present study aimed to investigate EFL Bosnian learners' awareness of the use of various reading strategies. Furthermore, the study investigated students' reading habits, favorite reading materials, and the purpose of reading. It was conducted among fifty-seven ninth grade elementary school students. The findings proved that these students are aware of the importance of reading and development of reading skills, as well as of the importance of using appropriate reading strategies in order to be proficient readers and eventually to be more successful in the overall process of learning.

Досліджено залежність морфометричних показ-ників (маси, висоти та діаметра) плодів 11 сортів Cydonia oblonga Mill. колекції Національ-ного ботанічного саду імені М.М. Гришка НАН України (НБС) від погодно-кліматичних умов у річному циклі розвитку рослин. Встановлено, що в 2018 р. морфометричні показники пло-дів усіх 11 сортів C. oblonga колекції НБС суттєво перевищили раніше відомі аналогічні дані. Майже удвічі збільшилася середня маса плоду сорту Грушоподібна Шумського, в 1,4–1,8 рази – сортів Марія, Оранжева, Студентка, Академічна та № 18 Кащенка, в 1,1–1,2 рази – сорту Дарунок онуку. Для маси плодів більшості сортів селекції НБС характерний середній ступінь мінливості із коефіцієнтом варіювання 13,8–19,6%. У двох сортів, Марія та Дарунок онуку, він був дещо вищим – 21,6–29,6%. У лісостеповій зоні України метеорологічні умови 2018 р. були сприятливими для росту й розвитку, в тому числі для формування плодів C. oblonga, як і інших плодових рослин. Отримані дані підтвердили залежність морфометри-чних показників плодів айви не тільки від генетичних особливостей сорту, але й від погодно-кліматичних умов регіону вирощування. Високий урожай сортів C. oblonga забезпечується поєднанням оптимального температурного режиму повітря з достатніми вологозабезпечені-стю та родючістю ґрунту.

Published: September 2021

У повідомленні представлені результати досліджень наземної малакофауни, які проводилися протягом двох років (весна 2017 р. – весна 2019 р.) в різних функціональних зонах урбоекосистеми Мелітополя (транспортна магістраль, терито-рія промислового об'єкта, зони житлового масиву та рекреаційна). У досліджуваних біотопах було виявлено 5 видів сухопутних молюсків: Xeropicta derbentina (Krynicki 1836), Brephulopsis cylindrica (Menke, 1828), Monacha fruticola (Krynicki, 1833), Helix albescens (Rossmässler, 1839), Xeropicta krynickii (Krynicki 1833). Більшість представників малакофауни вивчалася в польових умовах.Виявлено, що сухопутні молюски можуть розглядатися в якості перспективних об'єк-тів біодіагностики екологічного стану ґрунтів антропогенно трансформованих урбоекосис-тем, а також виступати важливими агентами зміни клімату. Крім того, важливо оцінити нас-лідки колонізації адвентивних видів сухопутних молюсків та їх впливу на аборигенні біоце-нози.Встановлено, що сухопутна малакофауна урбоекосистеми Мелітополя характеризу-ється високою чисельністю і невеликою різноманітністю. Переважають адвентивні види – X. derbentina, B. cylindrica, M. fruticola. Незважаючи на те, що останній вид вважається крим-ським ендеміком, він добре адаптувався в урбанізованих біотопах на півдні Запорізької обла-сті. Визначено, що для біодіагностики стану антропогенно порушених біотопів доцільно ви-користовувати закономірності просторово-часової динаміки поширення угруповань назем-них молюсків.

The real COVID-19 pandemic dynamics in Qatar in 2021: simulations,
predictions and verifications of the SIR model
Authors: Nesteruk Igor
Published: September 2021

The third COVID-19 pandemic wave in Qatar was simulated with the use of the generalized SIR-model and the accumulated number of cases reported by Johns Hopkins University for the period: April 25 - May 8, 2021. The results were compared with the SIR simulations performed before for the second wave and the number of laboratory-confirmed cases in the first half of 2021. Despite the mass vaccination that began in December 2020, Qatar experienced a new epidemic wave in March-April 2021. As of the end of June 2021, the positive effects of vaccination were still unclear, although the number of fully vaccinated was already approaching half the population. Additional simulations have demonstrated that many COVID-19 cases are not detected. The real accumulated number of cases in Qatar can exceed the laboratory-confirmed one more than 5 times. This fact drastically increases the probability of meeting an infectious person and the epidemic duration.

Se ha diseñado y validado un cuestionario, a fin de indagar sobre las concepciones acerca de la ciencia y su naturaleza (NOS) en el profesorado en formación inicial, a partir de cuyos resultados se diseñarán posteriores intervenciones didácticas sostenidas de enseñanza de la NOS en el aula. Se describe el cuestionario, la muestra (N = 385) y el procedimiento de validación. La escala tiene una fiabilidad y validez correctas, por lo que se concluye que puede ser de utilidad para la investigación relacionada con esta temática. También se realiza un análisis clúster de las puntuaciones en los factores de la escala, con el fin de segmentar los casos en grupos de perfiles de respuestas similares y elaborar «Tipos docentes».
Deficiencias de comprensión y epistémicas de los estudiantes universitarios en la construcción de categorías explicativas sobre las relaciones trabajo-energía
Authors: Gutiérrez Berraondo José , Zuza Kristina , Zavala Genaro , Guisasola Jenaro
Published: September 2021

La comprensión del principio generalizado de trabajo y energía es crucial para aplicar las relaciones de trabajo y energía en cursos de física general y en la toma de decisiones de la ciudadanía en problemas relacionados con consumo y transferencia de energía y máquinas. Se ha diseñado un cuestionario de preguntas abiertas para detectar dificultades de aprendizaje de los estudiantes en los conceptos implicados. El análisis de las respuestas se ha realizado mediante la metodología fenomenográfica, que se centra en establecer categorías interpretativas a nivel colectivo. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que los estudiantes no comprenden el concepto de trabajo y de energía y no reconocen la necesidad de modelización del análisis mediante un sistema. Algunos errores son más frecuentes en situaciones que involucran fuerzas de rozamiento. Las dificultades se manifiestan tanto a nivel conceptual como epistemológico.
Conocimiento de contenido de profesores: el experimento pensado de caída libre de Galileo
Authors: Ruvalcaba Cervantes José Manuel , Quintero Zazueta Ricardo , Gómez Galindo Alma Adrianna
Published: September 2021

Estudios sobre conocimiento profesional de docentes de ciencias sugieren poca integración entre las dimensiones cognitivas, didácticas y epistemológicas que constituyen el conocimiento de contenido. El propósito de este trabajo es indagar qué dimensiones se pueden estudiar de manera integrada, empleando un experimento pensado como instrumento metodológico. Mediante entrevista de pensar en voz alta se realizó una investigación cualitativa con tres profesores de Física del nivel secundario, utilizando el experimento de Galileo sobre la caída de cuerpos. Encontramos que es posible estudiar las dimensiones cognitiva y epistemológica. Señalamos algunas dificultades de los profesores con procesos para imaginar la situación y experimentar con el pensamiento. Concluimos que la falta de integración sugerida en otros estudios es de tipo metodológico y no ontológico.
El trabajo de la judicatura laboral: directrices legales, colaboración y afectos
Authors: Grudechut Pezoa Iván Esteban
Published: September 2021

El derecho laboral chileno es una institución construida con el objetivo inicial de mediar y equilibrar la relación entre trabajadores y empleadores. ¿Se logra este objetivo? Se analiza este problema desde la experiencia laboral de los jueces en relación con la tarea que tienen dispuesta. Este es un estudio etnográfico que se enmarca desde la Teoría del Actor-Red. El trabajo de campo se realiza en el primer y segundo juzgado laboral de Santiago de Chile. Como principal resultado, se observa que existe una tendencia a la conciliación, la cual refiere a que hay una compleja red de actantes que fomentan la producción de conciliaciones. Esta red se sostiene en leyes, actores y afectos. Esto es un problema, pues hay toda una serie de juicios que pudiendo terminar favoreciendo a la parte empleada, lo hacen forzando conciliaciones que evitan la realización del espíritu inicial del derecho laboral.
La masculinidad en el proceso de niño a adulto como experiencia liminal permanente
Authors: Sánchez-Sicilia Alejandro , Uribe Roncallo Pedro
Published: September 2021

Las experiencias liminales tienen lugar durante situaciones significativas de transición, paso o disrupción donde, lo que hasta entonces era dado por sentado, queda en suspensión. En este trabajo, hemos re analizado y re articulado la experiencia de diecinueve varones durante su adolescencia (Uribe, 2018), centrándonos en las expresiones y marcadores socio-psico-orgánico-físicos que hacen referencia a los fenómenos de la adolescencia y la masculinidad como experiencias liminales. Del análisis concluimos que la masculinidad es vivida como una experiencia liminal que se inicia, influye y disemina sus mandatos patriarcales en la etapa adolescente, subvierte el proceso de transición de la niñez a la adultez, y hace emerger un proceso liminal permanente que trasciende el paso no sólo de niño a adulto, sino de niño a hombre, hacia una experiencia eternizada en la cual se es hombre y no hombre al mismo tiempo, debiendo poner a prueba su virilidad de manera constante.
Construção do patrimônio cultural e produção de memórias em São Francisco do Sul-SC
Authors: De Assis Neiva , Zanella Andrea Vieira
Published: September 2021

Neste estudo apresentamos os resultados de uma pesquisa realizada no interior de Santa Catarina em que o objetivo principal foi analisar o processo de construção do patrimônio cultural do Centro Histórico e investigar sentidos produzidos por habitantes sobre a experiência de viver na cidade patrimônio cultural. A pesquisa de cunho etnográfico utilizou os seguintes procedimentos metodológicos: caminhadas na cidade, análise de documentos, visitas aos museus e ao escritório do IPHAN e conversas com moradores. Reconhecemos que o que se pretendeu na década de 80, o que se tinha interesse em preservar foi preservado: a paisagem cultural. Porém, a pesquisa analisou os mecanismos e estratégias de construção de memórias e de representações da história. Consideramos que a paisagem arquitetônica participa da produção do território e da dinâmica do tecido urbano, e no caso desta investigação, contribuiu para a construção de percursos e fluxos no trânsito pela cidade e participa na produção subjetiva de seus moradores.
Estudiar las transformaciones contemporáneas del trabajo desde una perspectiva psicosocial
Authors: Sisto Vicente , Fardella Carla
Published: September 2021

La investigación social ha mostrado que las transformaciones del trabajo se vinculan con los procesos de construcción de subjetividad y de vinculo social. Estas transformaciones se despliegan de modos heterogéneos e incluyen discursos que justifican, regulaciones, instrumentos y materialidades que las estructuran y sostienen, así como subjetividades y prácticas. Este artículo presenta una aproximación psicosocial para el estudio de las transformaciones contemporáneas del trabajo. Para ello presentamos algunos lineamientos acerca de qué debe ser considerado como parte del campo de análisis y cómo esto puede ser realizado, ilustrándolo con los artículos que forman parte de este número.
Enforcement of the obligation to return the equivalent of an undue benefit
Authors: Dalkowska Anna
Published: September 2021

The obligation to return the equivalent of an undue benefit is a special type of civil law
monetary receivable resulting from the final and constitutive decision of the Commission
for Restitution of Warsaw Real Estates1 issued pursuant to Article 31 of the Act of 9 March
2017 on Special Rules for Removing Legal Effects of Decisions on Restitution of Warsaw
Real Estates issued in Violation of the Law2. Its implementation is one of the key tasks in
shaping the rule of a lawful state, by eliminating the negative effects of Warsaw reprivatisation
and compensating for damages that result from it. Receivables from the return of the equivalent
of an undue benefit are enforced for the benefit of the Capital City of Warsaw; their final
beneficiaries are entities that have suffered damage as a result of a reprivatisation decision. In
accordance with the regulation, resulting from Article 31(5) of the Act on the Commission, its
forced implementation takes place in the mode of administrative enforcement. The specificity
of the analysed structure causes the creditor to assume a special role, which in the formal
and legal sense is that of the Verification Commission, while in the material and legal sense
that of the Capital City of Warsaw.
OBLIGATION TO PAY CHARGES CONNECTED WITH DRAINING OFF TO WATER – RAINWATER AND MELTWATER (WHEN WE PAY FOR DRAINING MELTWATER)
Authors: Sobota Marcin
Published: September 2021

Within this article author presents issues connected with charges for water service related to draining off to water: rain water or snow water. Above all, author of the article analyses generally applicable provisions and judicature of administrative courts. He also shows that definitions included in legal provisions are not sufficient enough to apply existing law in a proper way and they raise many doubts within practice related to the application of law. At the same time, administrative courts, while verifying correctness of actions related to administrative authorities, very often have to use terms and knowledge connected with hydrology, environmental engineering or planning, in order to issue judgment related to the actual state. Basic terms included in legal provisions, such as collective sewage system, open or closed rain sewage system, irrigation system or water waste, cannot constitute sufficient and independent data, without reference to the actual, hydrological state as
well as their real functions. With a view to the aforementioned matters, such basic terms also cannot be the basis for authoritative decision related to f.ex. imposing the obligation of paying charges for water services. At the same time, author formulates thesis that provisions connected with charges for water service related to draining off to water: rain water or snow water constitute interdisciplinary issue and in order to apply the law in a proper way specialists (among others related to law, hydrology or environment) should join forces on this front, especially while considering the functional aspect of data related to water devices and their actual usage in practice.

Gamtinio kraštovaizdžio kompleksų ir objektų vizualinės taršos nustatymas: metodika, teisinis reglamentavimas, patirtis
Authors: Kamičaitytė Jūratė , Godienė Giedrė
Published: September 2021

Kiekvienas pasaulio kampelis pasižymi išskirtiniu kraštovaizdžiu ir ypatingomis vietovėmis. Ne išimtis yra ir Lietuva, kurioje gausu ežerų, upių, miškų, kuriančių įspūdingą šalies kraštovaizdį. Tačiau vis sparčiau modernizaciją išgyvenančioje visuomenėje dažniau vartojama ir vizualinės kraštovaizdžio taršos sąvoka. Profesorė Jūratė Kamičaitytė ir mokslų daktarė Giedrė Godienė pristato vizualinės taršos gamtiniams kraštovaizdžio kompleksams ir objektams nustatymo metodiką, kuria vadovaujantis būtų galima apskaičiuoti aplinkai padarytos žalos dydį. Itin aktualioje mokslo studijoje analizuojami vizualinės taršos vertinimo metodai ir teisinis reglamentavimas užsienyje bei Lietuvoje; suformuluojama bendra vizualinės taršos sąvoka, apibrėžianti, kas yra vizualinė tarša yra ir kodėl tai tampa problema; nustatoma vizualinės taršos gamtiniams kraštovaizdžio kompleksams ir objektams nustatymo metodikos taikymo sritis, kas skaitytojui padeda įžvelgti realioje erdvėje ir visai arti egzistuojančias kraštovaizdžio vizualinės taršos bėdas. Skaitantys šį leidinį iš arčiau susipažins su Vilnelės ir Neries slėniais bei Rubikių ežero apylinke – būtent šiose teritorijose buvo atliekamas vizualinės taršos vertinimas, siekiant išsiaiškinti, kokia žala padaryta kraštovaizdžiui. Mokslo studija nėra vienakryptis ar tik mažą suinteresuotųjų grupę galintis pritraukti leidinys. Tai tarpdisciplininis mokslo darbas, integruojantis kraštovaizdžio architektūros, geografijos, vizualinio meno – fotografijos žinias. Dėl šios priežasties leidinys suras savo skaitytoją, kad ir kokia sritimi jis domisi. Problema knygoje analizuojama tiek teoriniu, tiek praktiniu lygmeniu – moksliniu požiūriu gana plačiai apžvelgta literatūra ir informaciniai šaltiniai. Taigi skaitytojai susipažins ne tik su leidinį parengusių autorių iškeltomis išvadomis, bet ir Lietuvos mokslininkų – M. Purvino, P. Kavaliausko, J. Bučo, K. Ėringio, A. R. Budriūno, K. Šešelgio ir kt. – darbais ir atradimais. Dar vienas reikšmingas šios studijos bruožas – remiamasi pasaulio šalių patirtimi.

It aims to build on existing work by examining how entrepreneurs benefit from mindfulness practices while engaging in an entrepreneurial team. Hence, this study elaborates: To what extent does mind-fulness affect entrepreneurs in early-stage start-up teams? The analysis and evaluation of the results show that five main benefits of mindfulness meditation positively impact entrepreneurs. Further, it indicates how it can be used as a tool in management.
Eine komplexe Friedenstheologie und Friedensethik
Authors: Mierzwa Roland
Published: September 2021

Peace has to be thought of in a more complex way, which is mainly stimulated by women from civil society. Many questions can no longer be addressed in a thematically and politically isolated or delimited way; chains of action and challenges are too interwoven. So far, too little attention has been paid to the preferential option for the poor, the approach of religionless Christianity and a feminist-liberation-theological-pacifist approach. Topics that are more marginal, such as a peace-ethical approach to money and the relationship between peace and health, are also addressed. Finally, the difficult question of how far one may still cooperate with the state when one is on the trail of peace is explored.
Helicobacter pylori; a Way to Gastric Cancer?
Authors: Sánchez-Zauco Norma , Pérez-Figueroa Erandi , Maldonado-Bernal Carmen
Published: September 2021

Gastric cancer is one of the types of cancer that is associated with Helicobacter pylori infection. The infection starts in childhood, and 50–90% of the population in the world is infected. The clinical symptoms can be stomach pain, gastritis, atrophy gastric, and only 2–3% of the infected population developed gastric cancer. The majority of gastric cancers are adenocarcinomas. From Lauren’s histological classification, gastric cancer is divided into two large groups: intestinal and diffuse. The cells that gives rise to them are different and the epidemiologic features and diagnosis are different according to gender and age; however; the survival rate is approximately of 5-years. Surgery is the only radical treatment, but the adjuvant treatment is chemotherapy and radiotherapy which unfortunately lead to only a modest survival benefit. On this review, we describe the major risk factors associated with the bacteria: cagPAI, CagA, VacA, HOPs, as well as host immune and inflammatory responses: immune cells, Toll-like receptors, cytokines, immune signal pathway, genetic predisposition, such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP’s) and environmental factors: age, high salt intake, diets low in fruit and vegetables, alcohol intake, and tobacco use. Finally, we included the interaction of all factors for the development of gastric cancer. Knowing and understanding the role of all factors in the development of gastric cancer will allow the implementation of better therapies and improve patient prognosis.
Democracy, Freedom and Truth at a Time of Digital Disruption: An Equation with Three Unknowns?
Authors: Danescu Elena
Published: September 2021

Knowledge-based societies rely to a large extent on intangible outputs and digital technologies, and these are having a growing influence on information systems, media, governance and citizenship. At the same time, the increasing role played by online platforms in manipulating transnational public debates, legitimising algorithmic non-transparent decision-making and inciting hate speech and violence through misinformation, disinformation and propaganda are warning signs of the negative repercussions such digital ecosystem can have on rule of law, political systems, free thought and critical awareness. There is a clear need for international regulation in this area. Rooted in an interdisciplinary approach, this chapter combines an examination of the theoretical, conceptual and methodological frameworks with an analysis of various relevant public and private archives. The aim is threefold: to outline the issues and challenges in terms of human (and labour) rights, freedom and democracy; to identify the regulatory provisions adopted at European and international level to promote accountability, civil participation, and digital literacy; and to identify future prospects, risks and uncertainties in the era of artificial intelligence.

Synthesis of Cobalt-Erbium nano-ferrites with formulation CoErxFe2-xO4 (x = 0, 0.005, 0.010, 0.015, 0.020, 0.025, and 0.030) using technique of citrate-gel auto-combustion was done. Characterization of prepared powders was done by using XRD, EDAX, FESEM, AFM and FTIR Spectroscopy, DC resistivity properties respectively. XRD Rietveld Analysis, SEM, TEM and EDAX analysis were taken up in studying spectral, structural, magnetic and electrical properties. XRD pattern of CEF nano particles confirm single phase cubic spinal structure. The structural variables given by lattice constant (a), lattice volume (v), average crystallite size (D) and X-ray density(dx), Bulk density (d), porosity (p), percentage of pore space (P%), surface area (s), strain (ε), dislocation density (δ), along with ionic radii, bond length and hoping length were calculated. SEM and TEM results reveal homogeneous nature of particles accompanied by clusters having no impurity pickup. TEM analysis gives information about particle size of nanocrystalline ferrite while EDAX analysis confirm elemental composition. Emergence of two arch shaped frequency bands (ν1 and ν2) that represent vibrations at tetrahedral site (A) and octahedral site(B) was indicated by spectra of FTIR. The samples electrical resistivity (DC) was measured between 30°C -600°C with Two probe method. XRD Rietveld analysis confirm crystallite size lying between 20.84 nm–14.40 nm while SEM analysis indicate formation of agglomerates and TEM analysis indicate particle size ranging between 24 nm–16 nm. DC Electrical measurements indicate continuous decrease in resistivity with increasing temperature while increasing doping decreases curie temperature. The Magnetic parameters such as Saturation magnetization (Ms), Remanent magnetization (Mr), Coercivity (Hc) and Squareness ratio (R = Mr/Ms), Magnetic moment (nB) were altered by doping of Er+3 content in the increasing order (x = 0.00 to 0.030). The increasing erbium content decreases magnetization thus converting the sample into soft magnetic material. Observations indicated strong dependence of magnetic properties on Erbium substitution and coercivity varies in accordance with anisotropy constant. Due to the presence of magnetic dipole Erbium substituted cobalt ferrites can be used in electromagnetic applications. The present study investigates the effect of different compositions of Er3+ replaced for Fe on structural properties and electrical resistivity of cobalt ferrites.

Ethiopia is located in tropical region and livestock production represents a major national resource and forms an integral part of the Agricultural production system and livelihood of the society. Dairy farming being one of the agricultural production in Ethiopia, is practiced mainly as an extensive type of management system, which involves smallholder farmers in rural areas and semi-intensive and intensive managements in per urban and urban areas. Despite a large number of milking cows, there is low milk production because of many factors, including low genetic potential of indigenous breeds, extensive and poor husbandry practices, and widespread livestock diseases. Among the dairy cows’ diseases, mastitis is prevalent in the dairy production system incurring high economic losses and social burden. Several reports on mastitis in Ethiopia are present but are scattered. We focused on reviewing articles published in indexed journals reporting bovine mastitis to summarize its common etiologies, prevalence, and risk factors in Ethiopia. The common pathogens reported from different parts of Ethiopia are Staphylococcus aureus (Staph. aureus), non-aureus staphylococci, Streptococcus spp. (Strep. agalactiae, Strep. dysgalactiae, Strep. uberis), coliforms (E. coli, Klebsiella pneumonae), Trueperella pyogenes and Mannheimia haemolytica (M. haemolytica), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeroginosa), Enterobater aerogenes, Bacillus species, Micrococcus species. Staphylococcus aureus and E. coli are the most common isolates from clinical mastitis (CM). Staphylococcus aureus is also the most frequently isolated pathogen from sub-clinical mastitis (SCM). Sub-clinical mastitis which usually ranges from 25.4% to 73.3%, is highly prevalent than the clinical cases of mastitis which ranges from 3.2% to 26.5%. Several mastitis risk factors were reported. These were breed of animals, parity number, stage of lactation, presence of teat/udder lesion and hygiene measure of the farms. Thus, it is essential to plan and implement control measures including maintenance of good dairy farm environment, udder and milking hygiene at farm level; regular monitoring of udder health with special attention to exotic, crossbred and lactating cows and culling of older cows. Isolation, characterization and conducting antibacterial sensitivity test should be integral part of mastitis control strategy for effective control of the mastitis causing pathogens.

Use of Discrete-Time Forecast Modeling to Enhance Feedback Control and Physically Unrealizable Feedforward Control with Applications
Authors: K. Rollins Derrick
Published: September 2021

When the manipulated variable (MV) has significantly large time delay in changing the control variable (CV), use of the currently measured CV in the feedback error can result in very deficient feedback control (FBC). However, control strategies that use forecast modeling to estimate future CV values and use them in the feedback error have the potential to control as well as a feedback controller with no MV deadtime using the measured value of CV. This work evaluates and compares FBC algorithms using discrete-time forecast modeling when MV has a large deadtime. When a feedforward control (FFC) law results in a physically unrealizable (PU) controller, the common approach is to use approximations to obtain a physically realizable feedforward controller. Using a discrete-time forecast modeling method, this work demonstrates an effective approach for PU FFC. The Smith Predictor is a popular control strategy when CV has measurement deadtime but not MV deadtime. The work demonstrates equivalency of this discrete-time forecast modeling approach to the Smith Predictor FBC approach. Thus, this work demonstrates effectiveness of the discrete-time forecast modeling approach for FBC with MV or DV deadtime and PU FFC.
Quality in Non-Licensed Radiopharmaceutical Products: Are We Achieving the Goal?
Authors: Moya Sánchez Estrella
Published: September 2021

Radiopharmaceutical compounds, considered a special group of medicines, can be prepared outside the marketing authorisation track. Small-scale preparations at non-commercial sites thereby represent an important segment, however a lack of harmonisation in the regulation leads to extreme differences in the application and availability of radiopharmaceuticals across Europe. A number of guidelines and guidance documents have been issued by European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EAMN), Pharmaceutical inspection convention (PICs), European Directorate for the Quality of Medicines & HealthCare (EDQM) to achieve a good radiopharmacy practice for small-scale preparation. Nevertheless, in the case of non-licensed radiopharmaceuticals their consideration as magistral formulas, in some countries, makes it possible to waive regulatory inspections aimed to ensure those good practices enforcement. Moreover, special attention should be put on the quality assurance process for non-licensed starting materials, given that the final radiopharmaceuticals quality chiefly depends on it. This paper (chapter) will provide an insight into the quality standards applicable to starting materials, such as supplier qualification control, starting material re-test period, etc. in order to raise for discussion about how best to achieve a proven quality, efficacy, and safety for our radiopharmaceuticals (licensed or non-licensed).
HER2Ile655Val Polymorphism and Risk of Breast Cancer
Authors: Nguyen-Thanh Tung , Ba Nguyen Thong , Dang-Cong Thuan
Published: September 2021

HER2 plays a vital role in the development and progression of several types of human cancer, so the HER2 becomes one of major targets for HER2-positive breast cancer treatment. Several reports have shown that the HER2 oncogene expression relates to clinicopathological factors in cancer patients. HER2Ile655Val single nucleotide polymorphism associates with malignant tumors, including prostate cancer, colorectal cancer, osteosarcoma, gastric cancer, uterine cervical carcinoma, fibroadenoma, and breast cancer. To understand the precise association, this chapter was described to estimate the association between HER2Ile655Val single nucleotide polymorphism and susceptibility to breast cancer. Our findings suggest that the Val allele in HER2 codon 655 single nucleotide polymorphism is strongly associated with the risk of breast cancer. HER2Ile655Val single nucleotide polymorphism might also be a susceptibility factor that favors early-onset breast cancer.
Rejuvenator Obtained by Pyrolysis of Waste Tires for Use in Asphalt Mixtures with Added Reclaimed Asphalt

Published: September 2021

Although in recent years, big progress has been made in the field of recovering waste tires, they still represent an unwanted waste and their production is constantly increasing. We can use waste tires as a raw material for a new product. In our study, multiple liquid products were produced by pyrolysis of waste tires. After extensive testing of their properties, we selected the most suitable pyrolytic product for the purpose of rejuvenation. Rejuvenators are designed to soften the old, brittle and stiff aged bitumen in reclaimed asphalt. Bitumen with its viscoelastic characteristics is the most important component of asphalt and dictates its behaviour. Commonly bitumen, after adding rejuvenator, becomes less viscous, more ductile and its coating properties are restored. By using a pyrolytic rejuvenator, the proportion of reclaimed asphalt added to the asphalt mixture was increased. The reuse of reclaimed asphalt and waste tires means a reduction in waste material and is therefore important for the preservation of the environment and sustainable development.

Published: September 2021

Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is a field that has developed significantly during the last three decades; it has come to scientifically demonstrate the importance of the mind in the prevention, development and treatment of diseases. Throughout this chapter, we describe the evolution of PNI, the interaction of these systems to actively develop them, not only in adults but also in children. Similarly, it explains the influence of stress on the health of the individual and the importance of knowledge of psychoneuroimmunology to achieve the proper management of disease and quality of life. It also accounts for how psychological interventions have been proven effective and can serve as a model for researching and treating other diseases.
