Laser induced plasma spectroscopy (LIPS) is a novel technique for elemental analysis based on laser-generated plasma. In this technique, laser pulses are applied for ablation of the sample, resulting in the vaporization and ionization of sample in hot plasma which is finally analyzed by the spectrometer. The elements are identified by their unique spectral signatures. The plasma was produced using the fundamental harmonic (1064 nm) of the Nd: YAG laser and the emission spectra were recorded at 3.3 µsec. detector gate delay to study the capabilities of LIPS as a rapid tool for material analysis. LIPS method was developed for elemental analysis of the crude oil. Because of the special features of crude oil as a liquid organic material which makes the analysis process difficult and inaccurate. This difficulty is concentrated due to the effect of the self- (absorption and stimulation), so the properties of the spectral analysis lines of the laser induced plasma spectrum (LIPS) are severely affected, and thus affecting the evaluation process accuracy. In this effort, there was an ability to determine the qualitative evaluation of the various heavy metals in a crude oil sample. For the large number of these metals, three minerals (Fe, Ni and V) were identified for the purpose of clarifying the method, After determining the optimal experimental conditions to improve the sensitivity of the developed LIPS system through the optimal selection of the most important parameters. Here, an analysis method based on global reference line selection was proposed for optimal estimation of the analytic lines properties of the plasma spectrum (actual intensity Ic , optimum temperature Te , highest stability score Ss and without self-strain fs), to improve the analysis accuracy of a crude oil sample using LIPS - technical. The optimum stability score (OSS) method was used to estimate the plasma temperature based on the calculation results from the Boltzmann diagram. Furthermore, the internal reference line for each specific mineral was considered while the correction was made for the analytical lines

Authors: A. ALKARON Wasan
Published: May 2023

It was examined to evaluate the effectiveness of extracted tea leaves as the green corrosion inhibitor that contains mild steel in acidic solvents. The test specimens were dissolved in an acidic solution with different concentrations of the extracted tea leaves. After 3 hours of immersion, the corrosion rate (CR) was measured. The results showed that a concentration of 1000 mg/l caused a significant inhibition in corrosion rate as compared to control. To see how black tea (BT) extract affected mild steel corrosion in 1 M HCl, it was subjected to a loss of weight procedure. The corrosion level and the inhibitor's performance were examined at five different BT extract concentrations that included 0.4, 1 , 1.4 , 2, and 2.4 g/l. According to the findings, an increase in BT concentration at every temperature decreased CR. As a result of the rise in kinetic activities of the metal surface interface, typically, temperature elevation leads to an increase in CR at every concentration of BT extract. The study's findings showed that adding 2.4 g/l of inhibition efficiency resulted in a temperature of 323 K, resulting in 84.95% inhibition efficiency. The small activation energy (Ea) of 8.74 and 11.45 kJ/mole reflected the barrier layer properties of BT extract and its chemical interactions on mild steel surfaces. The thermodynamic parameter revealed the spontaneous interaction between BT extract species and steel surface as kad rose from 0.929 to 1.728 (g/l)-1.

Bioarchaeological research in Cyprus: A review
Authors: Grigoria Ioannou , Lorentz Kirsi
Published: May 2023

We present a review of the history of human bioarchaeological research in Cyprus through the examination of published literature. We survey and discuss past and current trends, indicate gaps, highlight developments within recent years, propose future directions and provide an up-to-date literature review. While scholarly studies of ancient Cypriot human remains had already begun to emerge towards the end of the 19th century, continuing intermittently throughout the 1900s, significant changes took place during the 1980s. This later flourishing of human bioarchaeology in Cyprus, in contrast to conventional archaeological research, which had been making significant contributions to the investigation of ancient Cyprus since the early 20th century, is aligned with international developments. During the last two decades of the 20th century, human bioarchaeology in Cyprus sees a significant development towards a more scientific orientation in contrast to previous years. To date, 201 publications on Cypriot archaeological human remains have been found in journals, bulletins, books, monographs, proceedings and postgraduate research theses. The 1980s mark the beginning of a new era within human bioarchaeology in Cyprus. The number of problem-oriented human bioarchaeological studies focusing on archaeological questions as well as the number of studies drawing on scientific techniques beyond the standard morphological and metric approaches have increased significantly within the last decades. The number of researchers focusing on human bioarchaeology in Cyprus has also increased. Recent years have seen state-of-the-art approaches increasingly applied to the investigation and analysis of human remains, taking place within an interdisciplinary archaeological framework. These developments and the introduction of further cutting-edge methods and techniques are contributing towards key interpretations about the ancient inhabitants of the island and their lifeways.

İlgili çıkarlar, bölgedeki önemli bir güç olan ABD’nin varlığını engellemekti. Buna ek olarak Rusya’nın sıcak denizlere inme politikası nedeniyle Suriye’de yer almaktadır. İran ise Ortadoğu’daki ana unsur olmak ve bölgedeki kendi varlığını tehdit edici güçleri ortadan kaldırma amacı içerisinde yer almaktadır. İki ülkenin hedefleri doğrultusunda, Ortadoğu bölgesindeki hareketlilik ve yansımalar meydana gelmektedir. Suriye’de diğer büyük bölgesel aktörlerin bulunması Rusya ve İran ilişkilerini etkilemiştir. Türkiye ve İsrail gibi güçlü ülkelerin varlığı, iki ülke arasındaki ilişkileri farklı boyutlara taşımaktadır. Bu noktada tutum ve davranışlar, Suriye krizi üzerinden farklılıklar da gösterebilmektedir.

Ellis–van Creveld syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a tetrad of disproportionate dwarfism, ectodermal dysplasia, postaxial polydactyly, and congenital heart malformations. In this article, we hereby present a case of a 6-year-old Brazilian boy with Ellis–van Creveld syndrome who presented with a remarkable number of classical oral and dental features and uncommon findings such as taurodontism. Clinical examination revealed multiple enamel hypoplasia, absent vestibular sulcus, alveolar serrations in the maxilla anterior region, missing teeth, conical teeth, lower canine rotation, bilateral posterior crossbite, dental caries, and a nodule. Radiographically were observed teeth agenesis, taurodontism of deciduous and permanent molars, and delayed tooth eruption. Clinical and radiographic findings may be present from birth and the pediatric dentist has a fundamental role in the early diagnosis of Ellis–van Creveld syndrome, as well as oral problems prevention, rehabilitation, and aesthetic interventions.

ATM or Automated Teller Machines are widely used by people nowadays. Performing cash withdrawal transaction with ATM is increasing day by day. ATM is very important device throughout the world. The existing conventional ATM is vulnerable to crimes because of the rapid technology development. A total of 270,000 reports have been reported regarding debit card fraud and this was the most reported form of identity theft in 2021. A secure and efficient ATM is needed to increase the overall experience, usability, and convenience of the transaction at the ATM. In today's world, the area of computer vision is advancing at a breakneck pace. The recent progress in biometric identification techniques, including finger printing, retina scanning, and facial recognition has made a great effort to rescue the unsafe situation at the ATM. Specifically, the goal of this project is to give a computer vision method to solve the security risk associated with accessing ATM machines. This project proposes an automatic teller machine security model that uses electronic facial recognition using Deep Convolutional Neural Network. If this technology becomes widely used, faces would be protected as well as their accounts. Face Verification Clickbait Link will be generated and sent to bank account holder to verify the identity of unauthorized user through some dedicated artificial intelligent agents, for remote certification. However, it obvious that man’s biometric features cannot be replicated, this proposal will go a long way to solve the problem of account safety making it possible for the actual account owner alone have access to his accounts. This eliminates the possibility of fraud resulting from ATM card theft and copying. The experimental results on real-time datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed approach over state-of-the-art deep learning techniques in terms of both learning efficiency and matching accuracy. By using this real time dataset, the proposed system achieves the highest accuracy with 97.93%

INSTRUMENTOS JURÍDICO-FINANCIEROS FRENTE AL RETO DEMOGRÁFICO: CONVENIENCIA DE LAS MEDIDAS FISCALES E IMPLICACIONES DEL DERECHO DE LA UNIÓN EUROPEA
Authors: Daniel Casas Agudo
Published: May 2023

En el presente trabajo, tras aproximarnos al origen, causas y principales consecuencias del problema de la despoblación de las zonas rurales en nuestro país, analizamos, en un primer momento, las principales políticas adoptadas (tanto a nivel nacional como europeo) frente al reto demográfico—prestando especial atención a las arbitradas en materia de gasto público— para, a continuación, estudiar las actuales tendencias de discriminación fiscal positiva aplicadas en esta materia en los diversos niveles de nuestra Administración territorial y su conveniencia, así como la problemática del encaje de estas medidas tributarias en el Derecho comunitario, especialmente a la luz del marco jurídico de las ayudas de Estado.
NATIONAL PORK ES UN CASO BIBB, NO UN CASO PIKE
Authors: Michael S. Knoll  , Ruth Mason
Published: May 2023

En octubre de 2022, el Tribunal Supremo de EE.UU. escuchó los argumentos orales en el caso National Pork Producers Council contra Ross, un caso del Noveno Circuito de California, en el que se desestimaba una impugnación de la Proposición 12, que, entre otras cosas, prohibe la venta de carne de cerdo sana (sin tener en cuenta dónde se ha producido) procedente de la descendencia de cerdas reproductoras confinadas de una forma que los votantes de California consideran «cruel». National Pork pone así al Tribunal en la tesitura de elegir entre la a menudo criticada vertiente de carga indebida de la Cláusula de Comercio latente y la petición de California de que el Tribunal apruebe su prohibición de carne de cerdo de fuera del estado no por las cualidades de los productos, sino simplemente porque los californianos se sienten ofendidos por la forma en que se ha producido dicha carne de cerdo. Las partes en el caso y la mayoría de los amici argumentan con razón que, en virtud de los precedentes del Tribunal Supremo, el caso debe analizarse utilizando el equilibrio de la carga indebida. Basándonos en Bibb Balancing: Regulatory Mismatches Under the Dormant Commerce Clause, la presente Nota explica que los casos de desajuste normativo son objeto de un tipo diferente de análisis de ponderación del Tribunal Supremo que otros casos más corrientes. Dado que National Pork es un caso de desajuste normativo, en nuestra opinión, Bibb contra Navajo Freight Lines, Inc. es un precedente más relevante que Pike contra Bruce Church, Inc.
THE TIEBREAKER RULE FORTAX RESIDENCE OF COMPANIES UNDER THE MLI. A critique of the tiebreaker rule for tax residence of companies under the MLI: Regla de desempate para la residencia fiscal de empresas en el marco de la LMI. Crítica a la regla de desempate para la residencia fiscal de las empresas en virtud de la LMI
Authors: Daniel Olika
Published: May 2023

El informe que los "cuatro economistas" presentaron a la Liga de Naciones a principios de la década de 1920 se considera el trabajo más influyente hasta la fecha en el ámbito de los convenios fiscales. Su trabajo dio forma al diseño de los convenios fiscales y defendió de forma extraordinaria y pionera la eliminación de los impedimentos de doble imposición a la libre circulación de capitales en una economía posterior a la primera guerra mundial que intentaba desesperadamente globalizarse. Los cuatro economistas también argumentaron en su informe que la teoría de la lealtad económica era la clave para determinar la residencia fiscal de las empresas en casos de doble residencia fiscal. Si bien reconocían la dificultad de repartir el capital entre múltiples jurisdicciones cuando la actividad de una empresa traspasa fronteras, y evitaban que criterios de lealtad política como el lugar de constitución determinaran la residencia fiscal de las empresas, sostenían que el lugar donde la empresa tiene su sede o donde se reúnen los "cerebros" de la empresa debería ser el factor que determinara la jurisdicción a la que la empresa debe su lealtad económica y donde, por tanto, debería tributar. En consecuencia, durante los siguientes noventa y cinco años, en un movimiento defendido en gran parte por la Organización para la Cooperación y el Desarrollo Económico (OCDE), su idea pasó a conocerse como el criterio del "lugar de dirección efectiva" (LDE) para romper la doble residencia fiscal, y un enorme porcentaje de convenios fiscales han adoptado diversas formas del LDE. Sin embargo, en un cambio radical de enfoque en 2017 a través de enmiendas al proyecto de Modelo de Convenio Tributario de la OCDE y el diseño del Convenio Multilateral para la Aplicación de Medidas Relacionadas con los Tratados Fiscales para Prevenir la Erosión de la Base Imponible y el Traslado de Beneficios (el MLI); la OCDE ahora aboga por el procedimiento de acuerdo mutuo y la denegación de los beneficios del tratado como el enfoque preferido para resolver los casos de doble residencia fiscal de las empresas. Si bien las deficiencias de los criterios del POEM exigían una revisión urgente, el cambio radical de planteamiento cuestiona si el nuevo se ajusta a la teoría de la vinculación económica, o si pondrían fin a los problemas asociados a los criterios POEM o si la teoría de la vinculación económica es un concepto obsoleto que no sirve para resolver la doble residencia fiscal en los tratados fiscales futuros. Este trabajo, por tanto, pretende intentar dar respuesta a estas preguntas, analizar la eficacia de las reglas de desempate en el MLI y hacer recomendaciones de mejora.
Gestos e Constelações: inscritos na crítica de Walter Benjamin e Max Kommerell
Authors: Barbosa Maria Aparecida
Published: May 2023

Em pauta, duas resenhas de Benjamin a respeito de Kommerell. Desde que Agamben se referiu ao estudioso da Literatura como um dos "raros talentos supremos entre os críticos do século XX" (2017, p. 211), esses dois textos demandam releituras. A resenha de 1928, "Wider ein Meisterwerk - zu Max Kommerell 'Der Dichter als Führer in der deutschen Klassiker'", considera que, devido à pretensão totalizadora da atitude encomiástica, o livro defende valores sociais conservadores. A resenha de 1933, "Der eingetunkte Zauberstab - zu Max Kommerells 'Jean Paul'", aquiesce quanto ao lado destrutivo do humor literário de Jean Paul Richter (1763-1825); humor que teria poupado o escritor do destino trágico de Heinrich von Kleist e de Friedrich Hölderlin e que propicia a compreensão dos modos como o registro da história se constituiu como panteão de personalidades ilustres. O mérito de Kommerell, segundo Benjamin, é o de averiguar na obra literária de Jean Paul os fenômenos que correspondiam ao êxito do idealismo das classes superiores junto às inferiores. Todavia, deplora que não tenha revelado a contribuição de Jean Paul para o desmantelamento da exigência, por parte do classicismo junto à burguesia alemã, de uma aliança com um passado feudal via educação estética e culto da bela aparência (1991, volume III, p. 415).
Extended-Release and Long-Acting Opioids for Chronic Pain Management
Authors: Sloan, MD Paul A. , Davis, MD, FCCP Mellar P.
Published: May 2023

Chronic pain from both cancer and noncancer sources affects approximately one quarter of the adult population in the United States. In addition to the considerable health burden, there is the burden of the patient suffering, loss of work productivity, and loss of social effectiveness for many patients. Untreated chronic pain has been documented to interfere with sleep patterns, increase anxiety and depression, decrease quality of life, and interfere with social relationships and the ability of a patient to cope with life. Long-term opioid therapy for the management of chronic-nonmalignant pain (CNMP) has been used with a subset of patients and found to be efficacious. Although the treatment of patients suffering from CNMP is viewed as humanitarian, their use has been complicated by side effects such as constipation, dose escalation, sedation, endocrine suppression, inadequate analgesic effect, prescription opioid diversion, and unwanted prescription-opioid- related death. Thus, a healthcare professional taking care of patients using long-term opioid therapy must be extremely well versed in the appropriate assessment, management, and specific pharmacology of opioid analgesic products.
