A legal and institutional review on the Jeju-type dualistic municipal Police System
Authors:   National Public Law Review, Ko Heon Hwan
Published: December 2022

Jeju Special Self-Governing Province’s self-governing police system was launched on July 1, 2006, and was operated on a trial basis for about 15 years. On July 1, 2021, the self-governing police system was implemented under the Jeju Special. As the self-governing police, which had been performing self-governing police affairs, performed self-governing police affairs in accordance with the provisions of the Jeju Special Act, and the national police performed self-governing police affairs in accordance with the police law, Jeju Special Self-Governing Province was the only dual structure. These changes in the Jeju Special Self-Governing Province autonomous police system are causing confusion in the operation of the autonomous police system, and various problems have been raised. In addition, it can be seen that the dualized autonomous police system, which is scheduled to be fully implemented nationwide in the future, is being operated on a trial basis, so various improvement measures are required. In this context, in order to establish the Jeju-type dual autonomous police system and to play a role as a model for the introduction of the nationwide dual autonomous police system, this article aims to derive problems and suggest ways to improve the legal system.

In the paper, the author analyzes the issue of human rights in the light of the era of increasing promotion of the protection of personal data as a normatively protected category. The genesis of the development is viewed through the retrospective of the human right to privacy. Then the course of international norms, as well as the political and legal structure of protection in the digital era is analyzed. The General Data Protection Regulation (based on the original name and abbreviation GDPR) contributed to the general regulation and expansion of the issue of the human right to privacy. This was also reflected on the territory of our country. By adopting a new normative framework and predicting protection mechanisms, a new era of digital security has been launched. Along with standardization, public interest in data protection issues is also growing. At the same time, the challenge of adequate education is raised as a necessary substrate when implementing the newspaper. Under this question comes the question of the competence of subjects who should be promoters and regulators of the protection of the human right to privacy on behalf of state authorities

The Constitutional Court is the guarantor of the rule of law. Its basic function is to ensure the protection of basic human and minority rights and freedoms and judicial control of the constitutionality and legality of normative acts. It is important for every modern state to organize its constitutional judiciary in the most efficient way possible, and comparative legal solutions and experiences are certainly helpful on that path. In order to fully understand the role played by this state body, we analyzed the Constitutional Court of Austria, and then of Italy. The constitutional courts of these countries had a great influence when regulating the way of functioning, but also the organization of many constitutional courts, as well as the Constitutional Court in the Republic of Serbia. We felt that it is important to pay attention to this issue, because a proper understanding of each institution, starting from its very beginning to the modern forms in which it exists today, is of crucial importance for the full implementation and achievement of purpose in the life of the state and its citizens.

Knowing the problem of counterfeit medicines and medical devices and understanding the standards set by the Convention on counterfeiting pharmaceutical products and similar crimes that pose a threat to public health is also important for domestic situations, given that Serbia signed this Convention in 2019. Analysis of the standards of criminal law intervention in the domain of preventing the production and distribution of counterfeit medicines and medical products contained in the Convention and domestic (substantive) criminal legislation indicates that the future implementation of the Convention makes it necessary to introduce a special incrimination of counterfeit medicines and medical products into the Criminal Code. The paper presents the most important elements of incrimination de lege ferenda, while in terms of other normative interventions, the question of the legitimacy of the criminalization of the production and trade of substandard medicines, as well as the criminalization of the trade of unregistered medicines and medical devices, is open.

Amendments to the law on the prevention of corruption in accordance with the National Strategy for the fight against corruption and the Action Plan for its implementation, the Agency for the Prevention of Corruption is, in addition to other competences, entrusted with initiating the adoption or amendment of regulations, giving an opinion on the assessment of the risk of corruption on draft laws of particularly risky for the emergence of corruption and opinions on draft laws that regulate issues covered by confirmed international agreements in the field of preventing and fighting corruption. Anti-corruption analysis of legislation represents activities in checking the form or content of proposals or enacted regulations in order to detect or minimize the risk of future corrupt actions that could be facilitated through such norms. This kind of analysis is an ex-ante preventive measure to reduce the risk of future corruption. However, as the analysis of regulations in the elimination of the risk of corruption, in addition to the risk assessment process in draft regulations, also includes the possibility of evaluating those regulations that have been adopted and produce legal effect, in this work we have illustrated through the discussion the claim that the risks of corruption should be sought and eliminated in all laws and by-laws, and not only those that concern the previously identified "especially risky areas", we analyzed the by-laws with a presentation of the risk of corruption based on an ex-post analysis. What emerges as the conclusion of this paper is that the analysis of the risk of corruption in the regulations represents a strong preventive and deterrent mechanism, which, by conducting an adequate risk assessment of the existing but also missing provisions of the regulations, through precisely determined phases and steps, appears as the first obstacle in the defense against adverse risk events, regardless of whether the risk is intentional or not.

One of the obligations which Serbia assumed as a candidate country for the European Union (EU) accession is the harmonization of its legal system with the one in the EU. A field of law which has not had much progress in the harmonization process is the civil law, particularly the property law as its constituent part. The reason for this delay is that EU has not done much in creating a unique, compulsory regulation of property law as a supranational law, mostly as a result of vast differences between national regulations. Yet, the harmonization process has not been abandoned and the most acceptable approach seems to be a gradual and voluntary harmonization of civil law regulations - firstly among the countries in the region which have similar legal tradition and, then, spreading wider throughout Europe. Since Croatia and Slovenia are the only EU countries in our region, the author of this paper has conducted an analysisof comparative legal solutions related to contents of the condominium property in Serbian, Slovenian and Croatian law. Her goal was to give an estimate in the concluding remarks whether it is possible and in what direction should the harmonization of condominium property should proceed in the legal systems of the Republic of Serbia, as well as of Slovenia and Croatia as EU countries in this region.
Humanization in educational environments; aspects necessary for living in school today
Authors: Tomé José Manuel Salum
Published: December 2022

While it is true, quality has always been measured through statistics and percentages, often forgetting the training of the whole person. Now, when we talk about issues such as humanism and education supported by technology, we can fall into extremes: it is common to label technology as the provider of all the evils of today's civilization; or the opposite assumption; to argue that incorporating technologies into education would be the panacea for all the problems it faces and finally, to assume that the subject of the humanities is more typical of actions and attitudes of the past than as a current need, giving vitality to any educational process. However, and fortunately for the educational community, today there are global efforts to make the educational task a human action that minimizes inequities and the abysmal differences that exist in countries like ours. Fernando Reimers says: “Equal educational opportunities must be the priority objective of educational policies, the aim of education must be to contribute to creating just societies. This requires improving the learning environments of the poor, but not only along the paths that have been started over the last decade. This aspect pointed out by Reimers is precisely the central aspect that all educational action must contemplate, the educational policies that are implemented in our country must guarantee, above all, the construction of a just and egalitarian society, strengthening the cultural wealth that we have, with respect to to the diversity of people, their past, their present and especially their future.

The aim of this study is to analyze the basic considerations of judges in deciding to acquit perpetrators of fraud or embezzlement (Case Study of Suoharjo District Court Decision Number: 194/Pid.B/2021/PN.Skh.). This research uses a normative juridical method. Normative legal research is studied based on rules or norms which are the basis for behaving according to the rules that apply in society which are considered appropriate and appropriate in the national legal system. That the basis for the judge's consideration was to acquit the perpetrators of the crime of fraud or embezzlement (Case Study of Sukoharjo District Court Decision Number: 194/Pid.B/2021/PN. Skh) is based on the provisions of Article 191 paragraph 1 which reads "If the court is of the opinion that from the results of the examination at the trial court the guilt of the actions charged against him has not been legally and convincingly proven, then he is acquitted". Where the subjective and objective elements in the Prosecutor's Indictment in Articles 378 or 372 are not legally and convincingly proven. Based on the provisions of Supreme Court Regulation No. 1, the case against the perpetrator should have been suspended, given the fact that there was an agreement that became the realm of civil law.

Published: December 2022

Nontyphoidal Salmonella enterica serovars are the leading cause of foodborne hospitalization and death episodes in the United States. In a typical year, it is estimated that >1 million Americans experience illness due to foodborne nontyphoidal Salmonellosis. While the private industry and manufacturing rely heavily on results of validations studies for inactivation and decontamination of this prevalent and opportunistic pathogen of public health concern, availability of such studies conducted in realistic environments of manufacturing and processing is limited due to pathogenic nature of the organism. The current study investigated effects of elevated hydrostatic pressure and a bioactive product from grapefruit seed extract (CitricidalTM) for elimination of nontyphoidal Salmonella serovars. Additionally, sensitivity of an avirulent strain of the bacterium (Salmonella LT2) investigated relative to the pathogenic Salmonella serovars. Our results show that the avirulent strain utilized in the current study, has similar sensitivity to the treatments compared to nontyphoidal pathogenic Salmonella serovars. Thus, this non-pathogenic strain could be used interchangeably for public health microbiology hurdle validation studies as a surrogate for pathogenic Salmonella serovars. Additionally, we observed >5 log reduction of the pathogen (i.e. > 99.999%) due to treatments with elevated hydrostatic pressure at 500 MPa and at 300 MPa with presence of CitricidalTM. Our result additionally exhibits that combination of mild hydrostatic pressure and bioactive compounds such as CitricidalTM could be utilized to ensure safe and efficacious elimination of this prevalent pathogen of public health concern from common commodities.

Effects of exfoliation temperature for vermiculate aggregates modified by sodium ions on thermal and comfort properties of a new generation cementitious mortar
Authors: GÜNDÜZ Lütfullah , KALKAN Şevket Onur
Published: December 2022

Vermiculite exfoliation is based on the principle when water between the layers evaporate, and the crystal layers spread out pressured by the steam. As a result, elongated, curved particles are formed. The thermal properties of the final product formed are directly related to this exfoliation amount. In this experimental work, exfoliation characteristic of natural vermiculate is studied. A series of experimental analyzes were carried out to examine the expandability of natural vermiculite at different heating temperatures by the Na+ modification method. In addition, the expansion ratios of Na+-modified and unmodified vermiculite samples were analyzed comparatively. Each of the raw and Na+ modified vermiculite material groups prepared for the thermal expansion process was experimentally performed by recording the exfoliation states and times at six different heating temperature values of 350 oC, 450 oC, 530 oC, 620 oC, 710 oC and 840 oC, respectively, in a laboratory environment. In the second phase of the study, thermal properties of new generation composite mortars produced with exfoliated vermiculite aggregate were experimentally analyzed. Parameters such as thermal conductivity, heat storage capacity, specific heat and heat dissipation coefficient of mortar test samples prepared with exfoliated vermiculite aggregates are analyzed and discussed here. Test results showed that Na+-modified vermiculite samples expanded better than unmodified vermiculite samples for all expansion temperatures. When Na+-modified expanded vermiculite is evaluated in composite mortars, it also reduces the unit weight of the mortar as it expands more and the unit weight of itself decreases. Accordingly, the compressive strength of the mortar decreases relatively. However, it has been determined that the thermal comfort properties of mortars using Na-modified exfoliated vermiculite are better than the thermal comfort properties of composite mortars produced using unmodified exfoliated vermiculite.

Published: December 2022

Early pregnancy diagnosis is an important management practice for reducing calving interval, increasing cattle reproductive efficiency, and the overall herd productivity. This study was undertaken to assess the viability of seed germination inhibition technique (Punyakoti test) for early pregnancy detection in cattle under the tropical rearing conditions. Twenty-four randomly selected cows were used for the experiment. Urine samples were collected and subjected to Punyakoti test, using maize seeds, within 6 hours of collection. Descriptive statistics employing means and standard error were used to analyse data, also, inferential statistics including analysis of variance and t-tests were employed to ascertain differences between the variables under study. Urine from pregnant cows had the highest (80.03±3.99) inhibitory effect while the distilled water group had the least (7.50±3.81) mean seed germination inhibition. The means of germinated maize seeds in pregnant and non-pregnant cow urine treatment groups were significantly different. The means of germinated maize seeds in unstripped and stripped pregnant cow urine were significantly different, while the mean shoot length values for the same treatments were not significantly different. Urine from 42 days’ pregnant cows had the highest germination inhibition (80.21±3.59) while the least (25.00±4.35) was observed on day 10. The Punyakoti test reliably detected pregnancy starting from 26 days after insemination. In conclusion, this technique can be used for detecting pregnancy as early 26 days after insemination. The potential role of steroids and involvement of abscisic acid (ABA) in seed germination inhibition requires further investigation.

SM-1.4) and 800 U/kg diets of thermostable mannanase on performance and gut histomorphology of broilers. One hundred and fifty of day-old chicks (unsexed) were used in this study. The birds were fed five diets containing coconut meat waste supplemented with bacteria and mannanases (CBM); 0% CBM, 10% CBM, 20% CBM, 30% CBM, and 40% CBM. Feed and water were available at all times. A completely randomized design was applied in this experiment with five diets and five replicate cages. The parameters determined are performance (feed consumption, body weight gain, and feed conversion ratio), gut histomorphology, and microbiota of broilers. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance according to a completely randomized design and Duncan's Multiple Range Test. Data indicated that feed consumption, body weight gain, and gut histomorphology of birds fed the CMW supplemented with thermophilic bacteria and thermostable mannanase were up to 30% higher than those of birds fed the non-supplemented (0% CBM) diet. The birds fed a 20% coconut meat waste diet supplemented with 1010 CFU/kg diet thermophilic bacteria, and 800 U/kg CMW thermostable mannanase had higher body weight gain than others and significantly (P<0.05) affected on microbiota of broiler. Adding coconut meat waste supplemented with thermophilic bacteria and thermostable mannanase did not affect the feed conversion ratio. In conclusion, up to 20%, CBM level in the diet could improving performance, gut histomorphology, and composition microbiota of broiler.

Objective: There are more than 3000 snake species in the world, about 30% of which are known to be venomous. Snake poisoning can cause serious mortality and morbidity. In this study, it was aimed to investigate epidemiologically and clinically the snake bite cases admitted to the emergency department of a tertiary hospital in Izmir.

Material and Methods: Patients who applied to our emergency department with the complaint of snake bite between 2012 and 2022 were included in the retrospective observational study. The data of the patients were obtained by scanning the hospital electronic database. Vital signs, laboratory values, physical examination findings and outcomes of the patients were evaluated.

Results: Of the 52 patients, 22 (42.3%) were female, 30 (57.7%) were male, and the mean age was 48±16. It was seen that the most cases occurred in the summer season and only 1 patient died in total. Snake bite was seen on extremity in 41 (78.8%) patients while 11 (21.2%) had non-extremity bites. There was a statistically significant difference in CK value, potassium value, local edema and diffuse edema incidence between the two groups according to the bite site.

Conclusion: Higher CK, lower potassium level and more local and diffuse edema are seen in extremity bites compared to non-extremity bites.

Cryptocurrency uses Blockchain technology to ensure security, transparency, ease of locating, and unchangeability. This makes cryptocurrency very popular in many sectors, especially in the financial industry. Although, the uncertainty and the dynamic change of cryptocurrency price make the risk for investment in this digital asset high. This is the reason why studies about cryptocurrency price prediction became popular globally. This study intended to predict cryptocurrency prices using hybrid GRU LSTM than setting up the epoch to get the most accurate prediction model. The researcher would make a web-based application that can be used by the public, especially those involved in cryptocurrency investment. The result was a web-based application that could predict the price of cryptocurrency for the next few days, which had been validated using data from the previous 7 days, 14 days, 30 days, 60 days, and 90 days.

Authors: Badr Saracen Foust , Nasir Muhammad
Published: December 2022

The OKI District Population and Civil Registration Service have implemented the employee attendance information system by utilizing a fingerprint machine. This system is quite helpful in recording employee attendance properly. However, several obstacles are found in the implementation of the system. Namely, calculating the attendance percentage is still done manually because the data must be further processed using additional applications. Based on these obstacles, this study aims to implement web service technology using the protocol SOAP to integrate the system currently used. The system will automatically download fingerprint machine data and process it into attendance percentage reports, so that it can be more optimal and increase efficiency. The data obtained will be used by the staffing department, including one of the factors for measuring employee performance and determining Additional Employee Income (TPP).

We listed individual examples relying on the Qur’anic order and pointed out possible tafsir implications by applying the contextual or pausal form. Providing explanation, we also pointed out the differences in diacritical marks on the word belā (بَلَى) in Istanbul and Medinan orthographic versions with the aim to remind the Qur’an reciters about the importance of adhering to the pausal punctuation marks specified in Mushafs in order to preserve the meaning of the Qur’anic text.
Značenjske intencije apsolutnog objekta u kur'anskom tekstu
Authors: Jugo Midhat
Published: December 2022

This paper deals with semantic intentions of the absolute object in the Qur’anic text. The aim is to establish frequent morphosyntactic patterns by which the absolute object is realized in the Qur'anic text, and then to offer a linguistic description of the role the absolute object plays in shaping the semantic dimension of the Qur'anic text, and based on selected linguistic expressions to establish individual semantic intentions of the absolute object in the Qur'an. In this paper we used an analytical-descriptive method, which was realized by applying a linguistic-stylistic analysis based on classical Arabic grammatical analysis of marking frequent linguistic patterns of the absolute object, and an analysis procedure based on the theory of naẓm, which was established by 'Abdulqāhir al-Ğurğānī, and which deals with the role of linguistic units in a statement. The research results show that each individual form of the absolute object has a targeted role in the Qur'anic text that can be discerned on a structural and semantic level. In addition to the intensity, description of the quality and number of acts, the absolute object realizes numerous semantic intentions, among which are: the confirmation of a real event realization, introduction of optimism, description of the quality of the realization of the act of reciting and delivering the Qur'an, glorification, display of the God's omnipotence and the beauty of His creation, admonishment and fear-mongering, threat, reprimand, plea, etc. As a frequent element of the Qur'anic discourse, the absolute object is an important argumentative marker significantly affecting the realization of the overall semantic intentions and the understanding of the Qur'anic text.

The aim of this paper was to find out whether teachers' attitudes about learning and teaching will be reflected in the attitudes about education for ecologically sustainable development.
In terms of research methods, a method of theoretical analysis and a descriptive-analytical survey method were used, while survey was used as a research technique. The following research instruments were used: The Questionnaire on Teachers’ Attitudes about Learning and Teaching (Suzić, 2005: 928–929) and the Questionnaire on Teachers’ Attitudes about Education for Sustainable Development, created for the purposes of this research. The research sample consisted of 120 elementary school teachers and 120 high school teachers.
The results of the research on attitudes about learning and teaching showed that elementary school teachers achieve a statistically significantly higher average score than high school teachers on the subscales of Motivation, Attitudes about the Current State and Involvement in Changes, while there were no statistically significant differences in Attitudes about Commitment to Changes. Furthermore, the results indicated that acting in accordance with education for sustainable development is not statistically significantly related to attitudes about learning and teaching, but that positive attitudes about learning and teaching reflect positively in the nature, contents and skills of education for ecologically sustainable development.

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a global problem in emerging economy Nigeria. Early detection can help delay or prevent the disease. Aims: This study aims to characterize the prevalence of prediabetes in the study population using the validated Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC) in the adult population in an urban Sagamu Ogun State South-Western Nigeria. Patients and Methods: Healthy participants (n=581) aged 18-65yrs with no known history of T2DM or pregnancy were recruited from local urban churches in Sagamu. The FINDRISC questionnaire was then administered, which included questions on age, BMI, waist circumference, vegetable consumption, physical activity, history of high blood pressure, family history of T2DM and history of high blood sugar. Results: Overall, 51.8% of the participants were assigned a risk of developing T2DM in the next 10 years, with a range of categories from slightly elevated to very high risk; 34.4% of the participants had a risk score of 7-11, indicating a slightly elevated risk; 11.2% of the participants had a risk score of 12-14, indicating a moderately elevated risk, while 5.3% of the participants had a risk score of 15-20, indicating a high risk and 0.9% of the participants had a risk score higher than 20 indicating very high elevated risk. The gender distribution of the risk scores showed that 1.7% of the males and 9.5% of the females had a moderate to high risk (score ≥ 12) of developing T2DM in the next 10 years. The FINDRISC score was positively and significantly correlated with body weight (r=0.49; p<0.001), BMI (r=0.55; p<0.001) and age (r=0.27; p<0.001). This prevalence of prediabetes is similar to that found in other studies in Nigeria. Conclusion: This study confirms the use of this simple and non-invasive screening tool for T2DM among adults in Nigeria. It is also a useful tool to increase awareness of this condition in the population.

Abstract. Sandy beaches and dune systems have high recreational and
ecological value, and they offer protection against flooding during
storms. At the same time, these systems are very vulnerable to storm
impacts. Process-based numerical models are presently used to assess the
morphological changes of dune and beach systems during storms. However, such
models come with high computational costs, hindering their use in real-life
applications which demand many simulations and/or involve a large
spatial–temporal domain. Here we design a novel meta-model to predict dune
erosion volume (DEV) at the Dutch coast, based on artificial neural networks
(ANNs), trained with cases from process-based modeling. First, we reduce an
initial database of ∼1400 observed sandy profiles along the
Dutch coastline to 100 representative typological coastal profiles (TCPs).
Next, we synthesize a set of plausible extreme storm events, which
reproduces the probability distributions and statistical dependencies of
offshore wave and water level records. We choose 100 of these events to
simulate the dune response of the 100 TCPs using the process-based model
XBeach, resulting in 10 000 cases. Using these cases as training data, we design a
two-phase meta-model, comprised of a classifying ANN (which predicts the
occurrence (or not) of erosion) and a regression ANN (which gives a DEV
prediction). Validation against a benchmark dataset created with XBeach and a
sparse set of available dune erosion observations shows high prediction
skill with a skill score of 0.82. The meta-model can predict post-storm DEV
103–104 times faster (depending on the duration of the
storm) than running XBeach. Hence, this model may be integrated in
early warning systems or allow coastal engineers and managers to upscale
storm forcing to dune response investigations to large coastal areas with
relative ease.

Abstract. To meet the sustainable development goals and enable sustainable
management and protection of peatlands, there is a strong need for improving
the mapping of peatlands. Here we present a novel approach to identify peat
soils based on a high-resolution digital soil moisture map that was produced
by combining airborne laser scanning-derived terrain indices and machine
learning to model soil moisture at 2 m spatial resolution across the Swedish
landscape. As soil moisture is a key factor in peat formation, we fitted an
empirical relationship between the thickness of the organic layer (measured
at 5479 soil plots across the country) and the continuous SLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Science) soil moisture
map (R2= 0.66, p < 0.001). We generated categorical maps of
peat occurrence using three different definitions of peat (30, 40, and 50 cm
thickness of the organic layer) and a continuous map of organic layer
thickness. The predicted peat maps had a higher overall quality (MCC = 0.69–0.73) compared to traditional Quaternary deposits maps (MCC = 0.65)
and topographical maps (MCC = 0.61) and captured the peatlands with a
recall of ca. 80 % compared to 50 %–70 % on the traditional maps. The
predicted peat maps identified more peatland area than previous maps, and
the areal coverage estimates fell within the same order as upscaling
estimates from national field surveys. Our method was able to identify
smaller peatlands resulting in more accurate maps of peat soils, which was
not restricted to only large peatlands that can be visually detected from
aerial imagery – the historical approach of mapping. We also provided a
continuous map of the organic layer, which ranged 6–88 cm organic layer
thickness, with an R2 of 0.67 and RMSE (root mean square error) of 19 cm. The continuous map
exhibits a smooth transition of organic layers from mineral soil to peat
soils and likely provides a more natural representation of the distribution
of soils. The continuous map also provides an intuitive uncertainty estimate
in the delineation of peat soils, critically useful for sustainable spatial
planning, e.g., greenhouse gas or biodiversity inventories and landscape
ecological research.

In this review, we will shed light on the technology of antennas used in communication within the fifth generation, and we will elaborate on two types of this most advanced technology. The first is Compact Wide-Band Microstrip Patch Antenna; the second type is Four Elements MIMO Antenna. The world has become a network of interconnected networks, and this communication has resulted in huge and enormous data, and the world of communications has become crowded with transmitted and received data, and this development requires revolutions. In the world of wireless communications until we have now reached the world of the fifth generation and the world of augmented virtual reality, and what it requires to connect what affects human life from the home to the car to the workplace, and in parallel with the revolutions in the world of applications, a revolution occurred in the world of antennas, which is the means through which data is transmitted. While doing a review of 5G antennas, The MIMO antennas are the best candidate for smartphones while the massive MIMO antennas can be used at base stations. In MIMO metal rim antenna design the use of carrier aggregation reinforces transmission rate. Also, design features like orthogonal polarization boost isolation thereby enhancing the overall efficiency.
