Numerical results are solved for the structures subjected to the effect of shock wave in MATLAB software. On the basis of the program, the effect of piezoelectric and stiffener on the nonlinear oscillation of the cylindrical composite shell are considered.
DETERMINATION OF THE REFRACTIVE INDEX OF OPTICAL CERAMICS BY USING TRANSMISSION DATA IN THE MID-WAVE INFRARED REGION
Authors:   Le Quy Don Technical University, Mai Van Huy
Published: September 2022

Optical ceramics are emerging materials for optical devices operating in the Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) spectral range. Thus determination of their refractive index is of huge importance but is still a challenging issue. In this work, a model is delivered, which highlights a simple mathematic relationship between the refractive index of an optical material and its transmittance spectrum measured by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. Such model allows determining the refractive index of ceramics fabricated by hot-pressing of MgF2 nanoparticles. The reliability of this method has been verified on a silicon wafer taken as a reference (< 0.5%, discrepancy with data from literature on Si). Our approach can be applied to a variety of promising novel optical materials being developed.

La réforme du 2e cycle (R2C) inscrit les facultés de médecine et de santé françaises dans une approche par compétence. Référence internationale dans l’évaluation de la performance du raisonnement clinique des étudiants, l’examen clinique objectif structuré (ECOS) sera l’outil utilisé pour délivrer le certificat de compétences cliniques. Il comptera pour 30 % de la note finale et complètera les examens dématérialisés nationaux (EDN, ex-ECNi) en 2023-2024. Le circuit ECOS est une succession de stations de simulation, au cours desquelles une ou deux tâches cliniques doivent être réalisées dans un temps imparti. La qualité docimologique d’un ECOS est corrélée à plusieurs variables, comme le nombre de stations, l’écriture du rôle des patients standardisés (PS), la standardisation des examinateurs et de la grille d’évaluation. Engagée dans la R2C, la Faculté de médecine de Montpellier-Nîmes a mis en place un processus de formation de référents disciplinaires afin de piloter le déploiement des ECOS.

Authors:   Phan Boi Chau High School, Vinh City, Nghe An Province, Hoai An NGUYEN
Published: September 2022

A study of Dem num sen (written 1961, in 2017) and Nhung nga tu va nhung cot den (written 1966, in 2011) from the paradigm perspective contributes to identifying the position of the two novels in the paradigm shift of Vietnamese novels. The article uses the methods of comparison and analysis to indicate the expressions of modern paradigm in the two works. In addition, the article uses the cultural approach to initially explain the paradigm shift of the two novels from historical and cultural context. From the paradigmatic perspective, it can be seen that both novels have changed the conception of reality and people as well as the concept of writing and writing style. It can be affirmed that Tran Dan "passed many crossroads to arrive half a century earlier" to be the earliest paradigm-changer and more clearly assert the intrinsic nature of the paradigm revolution in literature, even when it has to face with too many gruesome obstacles

Contamination of water resources by nitrate has become an important problem in recent decades. Although nitrate is not toxic, it can be converted into nitrite and cause serious harm to human health. One of the most effective methods of nitrate removal is the use of adsorbents. The objective of this study was to evaluate the nitrate adsorption efficiency from biogas solution by using melaleuca biochar that was pyrolysed at 700oC. Physical and chemical characteristics of melaleuca biochar were determined using a variety of methods including scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) test. Nitrate concentration was measured using a UV spectrophotometer with a wavelength of 660 nm. The results showed that the optimum conditions for the effective adsorption of nitrate ion onto melaleuca biochar were found to be pH 4, biochar dosage of 1 g L-1, and retention time of 15 min. The experimental data were fitted to different adsorption isotherms models (Langmuir, Freundlich models). The maximum nitrate adsorption capacity of melaleuca biochar was 15.5 mg g−1.

The effect of nitrogen ferilizer rate and transplant density on the infectious level of insects and the yield of the ADI 28 rice cultivar was studied in the spring crop 2018 in Dien Chau District, Nghe An Province. Experiment was conducted with 15 treatments and 3 replications, according Split-plot design, including five nitrogen rates 80 and 100kgN/ha of green urea; 80 and 100 kgN/ha of yellow urea and 120 kgN/ha urea; three transplanting densities (31-36-41 clusters/m2). Results indicated that nitrogen rate and transplanting density affected the infectious level of insects and the yield of the ADI 28 rice. Applying low nitrogen and sparse density gave the lowest infectious rate of the insect species C. medinalis and S. incertulas (80kgN/ha of yellow urea, 31 clusters /m2; 80 kgN/ha of green urea, 31 clusters /m2). Using yellow urea or green urea for the ADI 28 rice cultivar showed the better efficiencies than that of white urea. The treatment of 100 kgN/ha of green urea and 36 clusters /m2; 100 kg/ha of yellow urea and 36 clusters/m2 showed the best results.

Employee management in the business plays an important role in the success of an organisation. Although the management activities in small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in North Central Vietnam have had several relevant changes in recent years, their management efficiency has been still quite limited. The study uses a quantitative research method through the structural equation modelling (SEM), with a scale of 377 samples of employees in SMEs, and aims to examine the impact of knowledge sharing on the effectiveness of employee management in SMEs in North Central Vietnam. Research results show that knowledge sharing has a direct and positive impact on the effectiveness of employee management. At the same time, in the relationship between these two factors, trust and opportunistic behaviour act as mediating factors. In addition, research also indicates that trust negatively affects opportunistic behaviour. Based on the research results, the authors propose several recommendations to improve the effectiveness of employee management in businesses. The findings of this study demonstrate the importance and impact of knowledge sharing on the effectiveness of employee management. These are meaningful contributions in both theory and practice to support businesses gain more insights into knowledge sharing in its impacting relationships on the effectiveness of employee management and play a fundamental role for future research.

Authors: Vu Hieu Minh , Chi Hieu Tran
Published: September 2022

In the present environment, innovation is now treated as a prime source to earn a competitive edge in the market. Moreover, from a theoretical perspective, the emerging trend towards public relations can also be seen in the prior literature, which adds value to the firm’s financial performance. Along with these practices, recent statistics in the literature showed concern towards the complimentary issue; investment strategies and their impact on firms’ financial performance. Therefore, seeking to extend research by exploring these three constructs altogether, the study attempts to scrutinize the impact of public relations, innovation practices, and investment strategies on SMEs' financial performance in the context of Vietnam. Authors employ both quantitative approaches with primary data to explore subjects and gain insightful information. The primary data has been gathered from the survey with business owners, managers, and officers in 202 SMEs. The results indicate that public relations, innovation, and investment practices have a positive association with SME.s financial performance. The theme of results concludes that public relations are expected in the future virtue to search for the appropriate practices adapting with the digital transformation of media and communication, wherein SMEs ought to have digital literacy and comprehensive knowledge of public relations practices. This also study contributes to the existing literature to both theoretical and managerial approaches for better awareness of public relations, innovation, and investment practice in the research industry setting.
Use of teriparatide in preventing delayed bone healing in complex biosseous leg fracture: a case report
Authors: Bottai Vanna , Gariffo Gabriele , Ipponi Edoardo , Cifali Roberta , Mondanelli Nicola , Giannotti Stefano
Published: September 2022

Fracture nonunion is one of the greatest challenges for orthopedic surgeons. We present the case of a young man with a complex open biosseous fracture of the leg who underwent surgery and early systemic pharmacological treatment with teriparatide. Teriparatide is widely used in the treatment of osteoporosis as its anabolic effects promote the deposition of new bone tissue. Associated tibia and fibula fractures have relatively high rates of nonunion and poor long-term outcomes. In this particular case, the fracture had further negative prognostic factors, such as exposure. Two months after the trauma, the radiological healing signs were insufficient, therefore it was decided to use teriparatide, prior to the possible onset of pseudarthrosis, in order to enhance bone healing and promote adequate callus formation. Complete healing of the fracture was achieved after 99 days of treatment. The authors believe that the use of pharmacological aids may be desirable, especially in the presence of risk factors such as complex and open fractures that could seriously slow down the natural regenerative processes of the fractured bone. In this scenario, teriparatide could have an important role in preventing delayed consolidation and improving the healing of nonunion fractures.
The Convention on the Rights of the Family – Real Alternative or “Fake Convention”?
Authors: Erk Friederike
Published: September 2022

In 2018, the Ordo Iuris Institute for Legal Culture (OII), an ultra-conservative civil society organisation in Poland, published a draft of the “Convention on the Rights of the Family”. According to the OII, the convention “codifies the fundamental values underpinning all civilised societies” and also contains “rules to combat all forms of violence, including domestic violence”. The CRF was initiated to substitute the “Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence”, commonly known as the Istanbul Convention. This article outlines the origin of the CRF and the replacement procedure with regard to the Istanbul Convention. It then summarises the reasons for drafting the CRF, including the criticism of the Istanbul Convention. The second part assesses the extent to which the CRF protects the right of women to live a life free of violence. Supporters of the CRF suggest that it offers better protection than the Istanbul Convention. They base this thesis on the argument that the alternative convention incorporates all the “good” provisions of the Istanbul Convention and additionally strengthens the “family”, which they purport to most effectively protect its members from violence. The article explains that these claims are false and that violence against women and its underlying causes do not find appropriate consideration in the CRF, leading to a lower level of protection compared to the Istanbul Convention. The third part shows that the ratification of the CRF would further lead to non-compliance with several international human rights treaties. It is concluded that the CRF is thus not a serious alternative to the Istanbul Convention.
Same Same But Different
Authors: Sirinupong Poonthep
Published: September 2022

The author traces the ways in which the "constitutional ideas" of the German Basic Law have been adopted into Thai constitutional law, but in the process have been given completely different meanings in central points. Some constitutional provisions have been interpreted and applied in such a way that their meanings are unthinkable according to the original understanding, and some constitutional organs have changed in such a way that their competence is incompatible with the original idea. What is happening in Thailand with the import of the Basic Law can best be expressed by the Thai-English phrase "same same, but different".

Authors: Neykhonji Marzieh , Nazem Shima , Ghaedi Hamid , Mirzaei Alireza , Tavakoli-Yaraki Masoumeh , Shahsavari Zahra
Published: September 2022

Background: Among the primary bone tumors, osteosarcoma accounts for a malignant tumor with a high rate of progression and poor prognosis. Despite the achievement of combined therapy regimens in improving patients’ overall survival, patients with osteosarcoma confront the chemoresistance obstacle. Objectives: This study aimed at determining the expression pattern of autophagy and necroptosis pathways mediators in osteosarcoma tumors. Methods: The expression level of autophagy main mediators such as autophagy-associated protein 5 (ATG5), Beclin 1 (BECN1), and microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3), necroptosis biomarkers such as receptor-interacting protein kinases (RIPK1 and RIPK3), and mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) were evaluated in 80 bone tissues including 60 bone tumors (40 malignant tumors and 20 benign tumors) and 20 margin tissues, using real-time PCR. The correlations of gene expression levels with the patient’s clinical and pathological features were considered. Results: Based on our data, ATG5, BECN1 and LC3 expression were down-regulated in osteosarcoma tumors compared to margin tissues. Also, malignant osteosarcoma tumors showed a significant decrease in the expression level of RIPK1 and MLKL as necroptosis regulators, which revealed a correlation with tumor malignancy. In addition, the higher expression levels of BECN1, LC3, RIPK1, and MLKL were observed in tumor tissues of patients under the chemotherapy regimen, indicating the relevance of autophagy and necroptosis pathways with the patient’s response to therapy. Conclusions: Reduction in the expression level of autophagy and necroptosis mediators in high-grade osteosarcoma tumors indicates the possible impact of these pathways on the rate of proliferation and growth of osteosarcoma tumor cells and can emphasize the importance of cell death alternative pathways for treatment when apoptosis machinery is mutated and cause chemoresistance.
Evaluation of TP53 and HER-2/neu Genes Expression Levels in Gestational Trophoblastic Diseases Cases and Determining Their Predictive Value in Diagnosis of Malignancy and Disease Progression
Authors: Hadi Fatemeh , Kazemi Neda , Hosseini Maryam Sadat , Ebrahimi Abdolali
Published: September 2022

Background: Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) is a general term that includes several types of pathologically different diseases, which range from hydatidiform mole to choriocarcinoma. Early differentiation of these types is important to determine treatment strategy and prognosis. Objectives: Genetic markers such as TP53 and HER-2/neu expression are recently shown to have diagnostic and prognostic values. The aim of this study was to evaluate its significance. Methods: We enrolled 62 patients diagnosed with GTD referred to Imam Hossein Hospital in Tehran, Iran between 2012 and 2017. Endometrial pathologic specimens were stained, using the immunohistochemistry (IHC) method for the expression of TP53 and HER-2/neu genes. Expression levels determined by IHC were compared between final pathologic diagnoses, using one-way ANOVA test (analysis of variances), which detects significant differences between the means of 3 or more independent groups. Results: Out of 62 participants, 32 and 24 cases were diagnosed as partial and complete hydatidiform mole, respectively. Four cases had invasive hydatidiform mole and only 2 cases were diagnosed as choriocarcinoma. Analysis using ANOVA demonstrated that expression levels of both TP53 and HER-2/neu genes are significantly higher among patients with invasive form and choriocarcinoma compared with non-invasive hydatidiform mole (P < 0.05 for both genes). The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for each gene showed that more than 55% positive staining for the TP53 gene can differentiate non-invasive hydatidiform mole from invasive form and choriocarcinoma with 100% sensitivity, and 92.9% specificity. Conclusions: TP53 expression might serve as a potential diagnostic aid to differentiate benign and malignant GTDs and a future target for adjusting treatment based on the expression levels.

A new idea of in-depth cooperation between government, industry, schools, and enterprises is offered in response to current difficulties of development in the integration of industry and education. Universities provide technologies that the government, industry and enterprises work and operate to achieve common sharing in industry construction. The integration of industry and education oriented to serve local industries and promote talent cultivation is an important part of higher education at present. Taking the development of Zhengkang sugar industry as an example, China Agricultural University (CAU) cooperates deeply with local government, agricultural machinery enterprises and sugar mills to explore the efficient and effective way for the agricultural talent cultivation through higher education, internship, curricular practical training (CPT), and etc. With the accomplishment of innovation and the optimization of the educational system, more and more talents are being fostered to contribute in sugar industry and rural development.

Under the background of informatization, the innovation of "Double-line Integration and Dual-track Driving" teaching mode will reshape the traditional relationship between teaching and learning, broaden the multiple dimensions of teaching time, space and efficiency, and provide more possibilities for the integration, dynamic interaction, platform building and process evaluation of teaching resources of the international business law course. Under the background of various domestic commercial organizations' frequent participation in international commercial activities, the traditional education mode of the international commercial law course can no longer meet the needs of informatization and the changes of the times. Therefore, starting from the advantages of the teaching mode of "Double-line Integration and Dual-track Driving", this paper reexamines the disadvantages of traditional ways of teaching for international commercial law, and constructs a teaching mode of "Double-line Integration and Dual-track Driving", so as to promote the teaching of international commercial law to a higher level.

The construction of economic corridors is a crucial way to promote the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and is also an essential strategy for China’s neighborhood diplomacy and economic cooperation. In the context of COVID-19 pandemic, the high-quality development of Belt and Road Economic Corridors can be promoted at various levels, including language and culture, policies and regulations, economic structures, financial services and social environment. Meanwhile, fieldwork surveys and other means are conducted to map out a long-term vision of the future development. To promote the spread of China’s soft power in the economic corridor regions, we need to grasp the direction of public sentiment and social reactions so as to find problem-solving solutions, strengthen interconnectivity cooperation and build a community of shared future for mankind.
RODNI PRISTUP PENALNOJ PRAVDI
Authors: Simović Marina M. , Kostić Miomira P.
Published: September 2022

Usvajanje Zakona o rodnoj ravnopravnosti dana 20. maja 2021. godine pokrenulo je niz pitanja u domaćoj javnosti oko primjene Zakona, posebno dijela koji se odnosi na upotrebu rodno senzitivnog jezika, u blagoj mjeri zanemarivanjem drugih takođe bitnih segmenata vezanih za unapređivanje položaja žena i muškaaca kod nas. U Zakonu je u članu 3 jasno navedeno šta podrazumijeva rodna ravnopravnost, između ostalog "jednaka prava, odgovornosti i mogućnosti, (...), ravnomjerno učešće i uravnoteženu zastupljenost žena i muškaraca u svim oblastima društvenog života, jednake mogućnosti za ostvarivanje prava i sloboda". Potencirajući jednake mogućnosti za ostvarivanje prava i sloboda žena i muškaraca, autorke u svom radu nastoje da pažnju naučne javnosti skrenu na položaj žena i muškaraca u penalnoj pravdi. Primjena istorijskopravnog i normativnog metodološkog postupka biće dopunjena pozitivističkim pristupom osnovnom istraživačkom pitanju
PRIVATNA ZAŠTITA KAO FAKTOR SIGURNOSTI
Authors: Ležaić Matija
Published: September 2022

Djelatnošću privatne zaštite se smatraju poslovi zaštite lica i imovine koji se sprovode tjelesnom, tj. fizičkom ili tehničkom zaštitom. Pri tome se tjelesna zaštita vrši putem lica koja neposredno čuvaju i osiguravaju štićene osobe i imovinu, bez dominantne upotrebe tehničkih sredstava. Danas gotovo da nema države čiji sistem sigurnosti nema segment čiji su nosioci privatni subjekti kao, u organizacijskom smislu, autonomno egzistirajući faktor. Najvažnije karakteristike privatnih sigurnosnih kompanija jesu težnja profitu i trgovanje pružanjem usluga unutrašnje bezbjednosti i zaštite. Većina ovih kompanija su male, fokusirane na prevenciju kriminala i obezbjeđivanje javnog reda i mira, kao i na usluge privatnog obezbjeđenja na unutrašnjem tržištu. Upravo i ovaj stručni rad ukazuje na neke od najvažnijih karakteristika privatnih sigurnosnih kompanija, kao i važnu ulogu koju ove kompanije imaju za bezbjednost društva uopšte.
ORGANI MALOLJETNIČKOG KRIVIČNOG PRAVOSUĐA
Authors: Vujasin Radenko
Published: September 2022

U krivičnom postupku prema maloljetnicima organi krivičnog pravosuđa imaju veoma široka ovlaštenja u pogledu pokretanja, toka i okončanja krivičnog postupka. Ta ovlaštenja su mnogobrojna i kreću se od primjene načela oportuniteta preko preusmjeravanje od redovnog postupka, zamjene izrečene mjere drugom, pogodnijom mjerom itd. Upravo i cilj ovog rada jeste da ukažemo na ulogu i značaj organa krivičnog pravosuđa, ali i da ukažemo na ulogu stručnih savjetnika koja sve više dobija na značaju kada je u pitanju rad sa maloljetnim prestupnicima. Takođe u radu ćemo ukazati i na ulogu socijalnih radnika koji rade u vaspitno popravnim domovima i njihovu saradnju sa sudovima i stručnim savjetnicima.
MJERENJE ZADOVOLJSTVA POTROŠAČA
Authors: Palamar Senad
Published: September 2022

Prikupljanje podataka o potrošačima predstavlja više od samog istraživanja tržišta jer obuhvata pored njihovih izraženih želja i sve druge informacije koje se mogu dobiti od potrošača. Ono obuhvata informacije koje se dobivaju kroz formalna i neformalna druženja te upotrebu kako primarnih tako i sekundarnih izvora dolaska do podataka. Naime, poduzeću je potrebno da predviđa i buduće potrebe potrošača kako bi im moglo prilagoditi svoje proizvode ili čak zajedno s njima osmisliti nove.Praćenje zadovoljstva je odraz internog i eksternog procesa kreiranja zadovoljstva potrošača.Svako praćenje ima smisla ako se stalno poduzimaju aktivnosti za unapređenje onih značajki koje imaju utjecaja na zadovoljstvo potrošača. Upravo i ovaj rad ima za cilj da se bavi problematikom zadovoljstva potrošaća, prije svega načinima i postupcima mjerenja ove pojave kako bi ukazali na značaj ovog ekonomskog aspekta.
Unfolding and identification of membrane proteins in situ

Single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) uses the cantilever tip of an atomic force microscope (AFM) to apply a force able to unfold a single protein. The obtained force-distance curve encodes the unfolding pathway, and from its analysis it is possible to characterize the folded domains. SMFS has been mostly used to study the unfolding of purified proteins, in solution or reconstituted in a lipid bilayer. Here, we describe a pipeline for analyzing membrane proteins based on SMFS, which involves the isolation of the plasma membrane of single cells and the harvesting of force-distance curves directly from it. We characterized and identified the embedded membrane proteins combining, within a Bayesian framework, the information of the shape of the obtained curves, with the information from mass spectrometry and proteomic databases. The pipeline was tested with purified/reconstituted proteins and applied to five cell types where we classified the unfolding of their most abundant membrane proteins. We validated our pipeline by overexpressing four constructs, and this allowed us to gather structural insights of the identified proteins, revealing variable elements in the loop regions. Our results set the basis for the investigation of the unfolding of membrane proteins in situ, and for performing proteomics from a membrane fragment.
