Authors: Basworo Basworo , Sujadi Sujadi
Published: March 2019

The existence of Laweyan Batik has been around since before 1500M (Mlayadipuro, 1984), with Laweyan Market and Bandar Kabanaran as a center of trade and sell of clothing material (lawe) of Pajang Kingdom which is busy and strategic at that time (Priyatmono, 2004). A visit to Laweyan proves that Laweyan is a batik area that has existed long ago, it can be seen from the form of buildings in the area (Aviarini Indrati, et al, 2011). The policy of Surakarta City Government has established Kampoeng Laweyan as a tourism area under the name of "Kampoeng Batik Laweyan", and the obligation of Civil Servant in wearing batik dress at certain time made the development of batik industry in Laweyan very good (Atiqa Sabardila, et al, 2008). Entrepreneurs in "Kampoeng Batik Laweyan" actually have been able to export to foreign countries, especially in Asia, Europe, Middle East and America. But most of them are still product without brand, so there is no increase in product competitiveness to enter international market with local brand. (Siti Rahayu Binarsih, et al, 2013). Brand Kampoeng Batik Laweyan, with the support of technology today, makes the site "Kampoeng Batik Laweyan" exists, in addition to expand the marketing area of the product, it also make easier for prospective of buyers. The data in this study were taken from all batik entrepreneurs in "Kampoeng Batik Laweyan" which amounted to 56 entrepreneurs by using questionnaires that have passed the validity and reliablitas test. After passed the classic assumption test include multicollinearity test, autocorrelation test, heteroscedasticity test and normality test, then multiple regression analysis and regression with moderation obtained result: 1) The variable Batik Laweyan Product Significantly Improve the Batik Industry Competitiveness "Kampoeng Batik Laweyan" in Kota Solo, 2) Brand "Kampoeng Batik Laweyan" is Significantly Influence on Improving Competitiveness of Batik in Industry Kampoeng Batik Laweyan in Solo, 3) Brand "Kampoeng Batik Laweyan" Significantly Strengthening the Laweyan Batik Effect in Improving Batik Industry Competitiveness "Kampoeng Batik Laweyan" Solo , So the three hypotheses proved to be true. The results of this study can be used as a reference in establishing policies about the development of "Kampung Batik Laweyan", it is very necessary to conduct research to sharpen the role of the brand (cluster branding) to batik industry competitiveness in both national and global markets.

Published: March 2019

Objective. The aim of the study was to evaluate vimentin expression in inflamed nasal mucosa of patients with chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyps (CRSsNP) and serum levels of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9).

Material and Methods. We measured concentrations of MMP-9 in blood serum of twenty patients with CRSsNP using ELISA and compared them with the control group composed of twenty healthy subjects. Vimentin expression in nasal mucosa was studied by an immunohistochemical method.

Results. Blood serum levels of MMP-9 were found to be elevated in patients with CRSsNP. The disease was also associated with the upregulation of vimentin expression both in the lamina propria and nasal epithelial layer.

Conclusion. CRSsNP is accompanied by a higher number of vimentin-expressing cells in the nasal epithelium, which may indicate their epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). We speculate that MMP-9 may contribute to the increased rate of EMT of nasal epithelial cells in CRSsNP.
Decentralised Technology and Technology Neutrality in Legal Rules: An Analysis of De Voogd and Hedqvist
Authors: Veerpalu Anne
Published: March 2019

This article looks at whether the principle of technology neutrality can be applied to the centralised-decentralised scale in a manner similar to its application to the offline-online scale. The analysis is based on two cases of similar circumstances relating to bitcoin exchanges run by early adopters in Estonia and Sweden. The cases exhibit two different ex ante legislative approaches aimed at payments in currencies and the interpretation of the respective legislation by the judiciary in applying these rules to bitcoins and to the activity of exchanging bitcoins. The article examines whether the legal rules applied to the payment infrastructure of currencies were technology neutral and also implemented neutrally or whether, contrary to the principle, there was difference of treatment of decentralised technology outputs – bitcoins – from the centralised technology outputs – legal tender – irrelevant of the functional equivalence of these units of payment.
EU Copyright Law: Developing Exceptions and Limitations Systematically – An Analysis of Recent Legislative Proposals
Authors: Tūbaitė-Stalauskienė Asta
Published: March 2019

In the European Union, Copyright law is not uniform. There are a number of EU Directives concerning copyright law, which form an exhaustive list of limitations and exceptions, most of which are optional. The optional nature of limitations and exceptions is a significant obstacle to effective harmonisation in the Member States, which creates legal uncertainty for rightsholders and users. The aim of this article is to examine limitations and exceptions under the current EU copyright law, to analyse what efforts the European Commission, the Council and the Parliament have undertaken in order to reform EU copyright and to present other possible options for reform regarding exceptions and limitations in the EU.

Consumer willingness to pay a price premium for ecological goods: a case study from Ukraine
Authors: Kucher Anatolii , Heldak Maria , Kucher Lesia , Fedorchenko Olha , Yurchenko Yuliia
Published: March 2019

The aim of this paper was to define and analyze local consumers’ willingness to pay a price premium for ecological goods in the regions of Ukraine (on the example of the residents of Kharkiv and Kyiv). For this purpose, different methods were used in the research: surveys; abstract-logical; induction and deduction; monographic; comparative analysis; graphic. The scientific value was provided by the theoretical development and methodological principles of assessing the willingness of consumers to pay a price premium for ecological goods in the regions of Ukraine. These have become the scientific basis for assessing the future development of this segment of the market, since more than half of consumers are ready to buy ecological products, even more expensive than ordinary ones, but there is a certain limit for the price premium. It was revealed that the potential for market development is the greatest, provided that the price premium for the environmental properties of the goods is not more than 25%. Accordingly, the higher the price premium on ecological goods, the less consumers are willing to buy them. The comparison of consumers’ attitudes from different regions (examples from the residents of Kharkiv and Kyiv) on ecological goods and their willingness to pay a price premium for them showed that one of the key factors is the level of the purchasing power of the population. The obtained results of the research can be used to assess the prospects for the development of the market in ecological goods, to develop a set of measures to increase the level of readiness of domestic consumers to pay a price premium for ecological products and the adoption of managerial and marketing decisions in the relevant segment of the market.

Published: March 2019

Over the past five years violence against women has been growing in Serbia. However, the aim of this paper is not to explore the reasons for the violence itself, but the way it is presented in the media. In this paper, representations of domestic violence are analysed by focusing on the image of women in newspapers, TV shows and film. Therefore, my intention is to examine: 1. How the media manipulate through the construct of gender; 2. The ways in which the media deepen gender differentiation and construct women as a weaker, inferior subject.
Chaotic Convection of Viscoelastic Fluid in Porous Medium Under G-Jitter
Authors: Bhadauria B.S. , Singh A. , Singh M.K.
Published: March 2019

The present article aims at investigating the effect of gravity modulation on chaotic convection of a viscoelastic fluid in porous media. For this, the problem is reduced into Lorenz system (non-autonomous) by employing the truncated Galerkin expansion method. The system shows transitions from periodic to chaotic behavior on increasing the scaled Rayleigh number R. The amplitude of modulation advances the chaotic nature in the system while the frequency of modulation has a tendency to delay the chaotic behavior which is in good agreement with the results due to [1]. The behavior of the scaled relaxation and retardation parameter on the system is also studied. The phase portrait and time domain diagrams of the Lorenz system for suitable parameter values have been used to analyze the system.
Influence of Viscosity on the Shape of an Air Taylor Bubble in a Stagnant Liquid Under Turbulent Condition in Falling Film
Authors: Lertnuwat B.
Published: March 2019

This work aims to find the influence of the liquid viscosity on the shape of an air Taylor bubble, rising up in a pipe column which contains the liquid under conditions that the liquid is stagnant and the Froude number is approximately equal to 0.35. Five liquid viscosities (from 0.001 to 0.01 Pa · s) were selected for being computationally investigated. An appropriate shape of a Taylor bubble, corresponding to each selected viscosity, was obtained by considering a pressure distribution of the air inside the bubble. Simulation results showed that the Taylor bubble shape would be thicker if the liquid viscosity was decreased. This could be explained by using the theory of the log-law velocity profile.
Reactive Pollutants Dispersion Modeling in a Street Canyon
Authors: Merah A. , Noureddine A.
Published: March 2019

Reactive pollutant dispersion in a 3-D urban street canyon is numerically investigated using a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code (Ansys-CFX), with the k–ε turbulence model and includes transport equations for NO, NO2, and O3 with simple photochemistry. An area emission source of NO and NO2 was considered in the presence of background O3 with an ambient wind perpendicular to the along-canyon direction. The results showed that the magnitude of NOx (NO+NO2) concentrations on the leeward side of the upstream buildings was much larger than the windward side of the downstream building, due to the entrainment and dispersion of traffic emissions by the primary vortex. The reverse is the case for ozone with higher concentrations on the windward side compared to the leeward side. The model has been validated against no-reactive pollutant experimental data of the wind tunnel experiments of Hoydysh and Dabberdt [1].
Investigation of Shear Stress Distribution in a 90 Degree Channel Bend
Authors: Lee Seung Kyu , Dang Truong An , Le Van Tuan
Published: March 2019

Shear stress is a key parameter that plays an important role in sediment transport mechanisms; therefore, understanding shear stress distribution in rivers, and especially in river bends, is necessary to predict erosion, deposition mechanisms and lateral channel migration. The aim of this study is to analyze the shear stress distribution near a river bed at 90-degree channel bend using a depth-average method based on experimental measurement data. Bed shear stress distribution is calculated using the depth-averaged method based on velocity components data has been collected from a 3D-ADV device (three-dimensional acoustic doppler velocity) at different locations of a meandering channel. Laboratory experiments have been made at the hydraulic laboratory of the RCRFIDF (Research Center for River Flow Impingement and Debris Flow), Gangneung-Wonju National University, South Korea to provide data for simulating the incipient motion of the riverbed materials and then predicting the river morphological changes in the curved rivers. The calculated results show that the maximum value of shear stress distribution near the riverbed in the different cross sections of the surveyed channel occurs in a 70-degree cross section and occurs near the outer bank. From the beginning of a 40-degree curved channel section, the maximum value of the shear stress occurs near the outer bank at the end of the channel.
Emócie A Emocionálnosť V Mediálnej Interakcii (So Zameraním Na Jazyk Mediálneho Športu)
Authors: Klingová Jana
Published: March 2019

The main goal of the paper is to present the stylistic-pragmatic approach to the currently preferred and not fully explored subject of emotions and its influence in the specific sport-media sphere. In terms of cognitive-emotional aspect of communication, the paper reflects on intellectuality and emotionality (rationality and emotionality) and given the assumption that communication as human activity is based on the interaction of cognition, the paper focuses on the basic research questions: Do we need words to feel?; How can emotions be implemented in speech?; What is the way the emotions are communicated in media language and how they can be viewed and interpreted in the media context? The paper presents semantically related concepts of emotionality and expressivity; it indicates their relation and the extent of their competence in the language of media sport. In terms of theoretical understanding of the category of expressivity by J. Zima (1961), it focuses on the definition of the term contextual emotionality. The paper concentrates on the naming of goal as a structural indicator of emotionality, which dominantly characterizes the commentator’s speech. It is present in media verbal interaction and indicates intensity of experience of communicated event during the direct broadcasting of ice-hockey.
Motivácia A Slovotvorná Štruktúra Pomenovania Slnečnice V Slovanských Jazykoch
Authors: Ferenčíková Adriana
Published: March 2019

The article analyses the motivation and word­formation structure of the name of the sunflower (bot. Helianthus annuus L.) in dialects of Slavonic languages according to the data given in the Slavonic Linguistic Atlas and in the national dialectal atlases. The characteristic reaction of this plant of American origin to the sunlight motivated the emergence of its names with a word­stem, which is continuation of the Proto Slavonic stem *sъln- in the entire Slavonic language territory. The word­formation type ‘derivative base + derivation suffix’ is typical for the West Slavonic, Slovenian, Ukrainian and Belarusian dialects. For Russian dialects, the characteristic word­formation model is ‘derivation prefix + derivative base + derivation suffix’. Composites like suncokret, suncogled, parallel to the structurally same Italian names girasole, mirasole and Greek name heliotropion, are typical for dialects of the South Slavonic macro­area (except Slovenian and part of the Croatian dialects).
Pragmatický Marker Fair Enough A Jeho Prekladové Ekvivalenty V Anglicko­Slovenskom Paralelnom Korpuse
Authors: Ivanová Martina
Published: March 2019

Many works written by Klára Buzássyová from the 1970s onwards were devoted to the issues of contrastive research of languages. The study analyses the role of metonymy in speech acts expressing agreement in a contrastive perspective. The paper deals with linguistic variation of Slovak translation equivalents of English pragmatic marker fair enough in the exploitation of discoursive­illocutionary metonymy within indirect speech acts. It analyses data drawn from English­Slovak parallel corpus which form a translation paradigm of the given pragmatic marker. In a search for an explanation for usage of largely heterogeneous translation equivalents from various semantic­pragmatic fields, metonymy is pointed out as a central motivating factor. It functions on the basis of evocation of various aspects constituting the idealized cognitive model of agreement.
Termíny – Profesionalismy – Slangismy A Jejich Podíl Na Stylu On­Line Sportovních Reportáží
Authors: Hoffmannová Jana
Published: March 2019

The article focuses on a relatively new genre of computer­mediated communication, online sports reporting (also known as live text commentary or minute- by-minute match report). This is a hybrid genre which combines a chronologically structured narrative (capturing the events of the sporting match minute­by­minute) and the commentator’s evaluative formulations (evaluations which are often expressive and subjective, funny and humorous statements) as well as his implicit contact with the audience (fictitious dialogue). It thus fulfills both the informative function (providing factual information) and the entertainment one (as typical infotainment). The introductory characterization of the genre is based on the work of J. Chovanec, but unlike in his work, it focuses on Czech live text commentary (mainly from soccer, hockey and tennis matches) and on the terms, non­standard professional vocabulary units and slang expressions in the commentators’ speech. Significant attention has been devoted to these levels of the lexicon in Czech and Slovak linguistics. However, the genre in question once again confirms how difficult it is to distinguish them. For example, the combination of individual expressions (or entire language levels) with standard, “colloquial” or non­standard Czech appears to be very problematic in this respect.
Ke Vztahu Slovotvorného, Potenciálního A Lexikálního Významu V Lexikografickém Popisu Desubstantivních Vztahových Adjektiv
Authors: Kochová Pavla
Published: March 2019

The relationship between the word­formation meaning and the lexical meaning on the one hand and the relationship between potentiality and reality of the lexical meaning on the other hand belongs to the topics repeatedly dealt with by Klára Buzássyová. In her studies she also stated that the assessment of the word­formation meaning and the lexical meaning is a task for lexicographers (and a task of lexicographic treatment of the vocabulary). Denominal relational adjectives still represent a lexicographic challenge in terms of treating their (real) lexical meaning. Their word­formation meaning is general: ‘relating to the fact denoted by the motivating word’. Their lexical meaning is given by the relation to the motivating noun or the motivating multi­word unit (the polysemantic structure of the motivating noun is thus indicated in the semantic structure of the adjective) and by the reference to the governing noun (collocability of relational adjectives as a consequence of their dominant use in the attributive position, i.e. in adjective­substantive combinations, is also expressed in their semantic structure). The lexical meaning of denominal relational adjectives is also influenced by the lexicalization process, e.g. by the accumulation of semantic elements on their systemic qualificative meaning (the characteristic property meaning and comparative meaning), leading sometimes to the total loss of connection with the motivating noun.
Роль Словообразовательных Формантов В Сохранении Сакрального Смысла Церковнославянизмов В Русском Языке
Authors: Петрухина Елена Васильевна
Published: March 2019

The author of the article applies synchronic and diachronic approach to describe consistent patterns in Russian word formation, when the facts in contemporary Russian are explained with due regard to the history of their development and formation. The research focuses on commonly used derivatives of the Church Slavic, which have not lost their sacred meaning despite the general secularization beyond religious discourse of evangelic lexis in Russian (as well as in other Slavic languages). The preservation of the sacred meaning is influenced by a specific process of differentiation between the sacred and the secular by means of word­building formants in cognate synonyms (for example, Рождество [‘Christmas’]/рождение [‘birth’]; житие [‘the life (of a saint)’]/житье [‘ordinary life’]; Воскресение [‘Resurrection’]/воскресенье [‘Sunday’]; искупить [‘to redeem’], Искупитель [‘the Redeemer’]/выкупить [‘to buy out’] etc.). The last section of the article considers the process of semantic specification in diachrony of originally synonymic cognate derivatives like живот [‘belly’], житие [‘the life (of a saint)’], жизнь [‘life’], which has led to a complete change of the semantics of the lexeme живот [‘belly’] (a gradual strengthening of its physical component has led to the modern meaning ‘belly, part of body’) and the prevalence of the word жизнь (with its Old Slavonic suffix ­знь). The latter, having absorbed the “life­related” semantic of lexemes живот ‘belly’ and житие ‘the life (of a saint)’, expresses all aspects of its understanding and interpretation by the contemporary language community. The author assumes that this process could also have been influenced by the general correlation between the Church Slavonicisms (both elevated and general denominations) and native Russian words (both concrete and ordinary denominations) in Russian. Word­building formants play a significant role in the differentiation of the sacred and the secular (and preserving the sacred) when the religious lexicon of the Church Slavonic origin enters the modern Russian language.
Słowackie Deminutywa W Funkcji Eufemizującej
Authors: Szymczak-Rozlach Mariola
Published: March 2019

The subject of the study is a group of selected expressive lexical units with positive connotation, euphemisms and euphemistic diminutives belonging to the category of amelioratives. These units function within a broadly understood expressive lexicon, used to express different emotions, including negative valorization. The author assumes that expressiveness is a very important element of interpersonal communication in terms of nomination and she finds the expressive function of the language as the key one. Among the euphemizing derivatives (quasi­diminutives) and diminutives, the author distinguishes categories of nouns, adjectives and verbs. The boundaries of the units forming the ameliorative category are fuzzy and very variable. The sample material of euphemisms and diminutives in the euphemistic function comes primarily from the available monolingual dictionaries of the Slovak language and is respectively verified by examples from the National Corpus of the Slovak language. Ameliorative­diminutive forms, which also occur in the euphemizing function, became the objects of detailed analysis. From among ameliorative forms, the euphemisms (including also diminutives as well as children’s lexicon) deserve a special attention.

Introduction. Peritonitis is still a serious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD). Consequences of peritonitis can be severe. The most severe are peritoneal dialysis discontinuation and patient’s death. In majority, peritonitis is bacterial in the origin. Mainly there is a gram-positive infection, less commonly gram-negative one. Some peritonitis are culture-negative, because of former antibiotics use. In minority, fungal, tuberculous or even viral peritonitis are observed.

Aim. The aim of the present study is to analyze the number, origin and serious complications of peritoneal-related peritonitis cases found in our PD center.

Material and methods. We performed a retrospective five-years evaluation of medical records. The total number of peritonitis episodes was 56 cases, underwent by 30 adult patients on chronic peritoneal dialysis. Peritonitis was diagnosed according to ISPD recommendations. Causes and serious complications of peritoneal-related peritonitis were analyzed in every single year. Etiology of peritonitis was classified on the basis of the result of effluent dialysate culture as: gram-positive, gram-negative and culture negative. Peritoneal dialysis discontinuation or patient’s death were defined as serious complications.

Results. Among 56 cases of peritoneal-related peritonitis 44.6% were gram-positive, 26.8% gram-negative and 28.6% culture-negative. No fungal or tuberculosis peritonitis were found. Because of the peritonitis complications in the evaluated period, six patients discontinued peritoneal dialysis and were switched to hemodialysis (20%), two others died (6.7%).

Conclusion. The further improvement in peritonitis’ causes identification and treatment is needed in order to reduce number of serious complications in our medical center.

Introduction. The approach to women, menopause and its consequences have changed – the perimenopausal period has stopped being treated as the end of femininity, career and sexual activity. However, symptoms coexisting with menopause influence health and female’s life quality. A decrease of sexual activity is observed as one of the most frequent symptoms, and it is induced by physiological and psychological factors.

Aim. Assessment of sexual life quality among women with menopause and defining the main factors influencing this area.

Material and methods. Thanks to an original questionnaire composed of 28 questions, single and multiple choice, 200 women in the perimenopausal period were examined between July and September 2017.

Results. The number of 200 women in perimenopausal period were chosen accidentally. The questionnaire was filled out via the Internet. Statistically significant factors occurred to be: level of education – higher education is connected with more frequent sexual activity, professional activity – 81% of working women remain sexually active while 73% of non-working females deny being sexually active. Hormonal Replacement Therapy does not influence the frequency of sexual contact but it alleviates vagina dryness, and provides a higher level of agitation during cohabitation.

Conclusion. Higher educated and professionally active women declare better life satisfaction and see themselves as attractive. However, marital status remains meaningless as well as Hormonal Replacement Therapy. It was observed that men from rural areas and towns initiate sexual contact more often.

Introduction. Social networking sites are virtual online communities, where users can design personal profiles available for public assessment, interact with friends, and meet with others, based on shared interests. SNS (social networking sites) have been defined as a “global consumer phenomenon” because they have been experiencing a sharp increase in popularity and use over the last decade. SNS websites, such as Facebook, are becoming increasingly popular, however, little is known about psychosocial variables, which are risk factors for excessive use of these websites.

Aim. The aim of the work was to characterize personality traits (self-image characteristics, ways of coping with stress and aggression intensity) of youth who have a profile on a social networking site.

Material and methods. The study included a total of 590 individuals from 16 to 18 years of age. Among the subjects, a group of 51 people without a profile was identified and 539 – with a profile on a social networking site. The group of teenagers was examined by means of statistical methods: a socio-demographic survey by the authors’ own design, H. G. Gough and A. B. Heilbrun’s Adjective Check List (ACL), Stress Coping Questionnaire (SCQ) constructed by W. Janke, G. Erdmann, K. W. Kallus, in the Polish language compilation by E. Januszewska, Buss-Durkee Hostility – Gild Inventory, developed in Polish by Choynowski.

Results. Statistically significant differences were found in terms of self-image features, ways of coping with stress and activity displayed on the Internet between the youth who had and did not have a profile on the social networking site.

Conclusions. Significantly more young people who have a profile on a social networking site share their personal data with strangers met through the Internet, use internet services and make purchases online, compared to the youth who do not have this profile. Young people with a profile on a social portal are characterized by greater timidity, difficulties in coping with stress and everyday tasks, less perseverance, entrepreneurship, effectiveness in the implementation of tasks, less self-confidence, less autonomy, responsibility and tolerance in comparison with young people who do not have a profile. Young people who have a social media profile are more likely to turn to other people in a stressful situation to request support and advice.

Introduction. Well-implemented, holistic care of the dying patient requires appropriate qualifications from the medical personnel.

Aim. The aim of the study was to collect the opinions of nursing and medical students before the end of their professional education on their preparation to provide care to the dying patient.

Material and methods. The survey was carried out in a group of 213 medical and nursing students during their final year of professional education.

Results. Students were unable to clearly express their opinion on their preparation to provide care to patients at the end of their lives (87; 40.8%). Nursing students were more likely to perceive themselves as prepared for such care – 30 (26.7%) than medical students – 11 (10.9%). Statistically significant correlation was observed. A large group of the students (92; 43.2%) had never been present at the scene of a patient’s death during clinical classes. The majority of the respondents chose ‘definitely not’ (59; 27.7%) and ‘rather not’ (53; 24.9%) answers when asked if their university education had prepared them for work with patients at the end of their lives. Students considered their knowledge to be lacking mostly in areas such as coping with their own emotions in the face of a patient’s death (137; 64.3%); communicating with a dying person (119; 55.9%); providing care to the patient’s family (154; 72.3%); cooperating with the patient’s family (125; 58.7%).

Conclusions. Students of both majors are not certain about the level of their preparation to provide care to people at the end of their lives, nor about the extent to which their university education had introduced them to the specificity of care of a dying patient. The medical students were observed to exhibit higher statistical significance as compared to the nursing students. The university curriculum prepared the students to take care of the dying patient’s biological sphere, but did not prepare them to assume a holistic approach to care of the patient and his family.
Safety of intramuscular injections in medical rescue

Injection is the delivery of medication into the tissues. It is the administration of medication by means of a needle (cannula) into the body tissues, cavities or blood vessels. An injection is one of aseptic procedures, i.e. those that require the use of sterile equipment, sterile medication, and treatment in compliance with the principles of asepsis. Failure to observe these rules as well as those that have to be followed in connection with the delivery of medication regardless of the route of administration may result in many complications. The administration of medications by paramedics is one of their competencies defined in the Regulation of Health Minister of 20 April 2016 on the medical emergency treatment and health services other than medical emergency treatment that can be provided by a paramedic. A paramedic can himself administer 47 drugs specified in the foregoing Regulation, and he can also administer other drugs as ordered by a doctor. The article describes the principles of safe intramuscular injection as one of the methods of administering medication in emergency medicine.
Probability Integral as a Linearization
Authors: Babicová Dušana
Published: March 2019

In fuzzified probability theory, a classical probability space (Ω, A, p) is replaced by a generalized probability space (Ω, ℳ(A), ∫(.) dp), where ℳ(A) is the set of all measurable functions into [0,1] and ∫(.)dp is the probability integral with respect to p. Our paper is devoted to the transition from p to ∫(.) dp. The transition is supported by the following categorical argument: there is a minimal category and its epireflective subcategory such that A and ℳ(A) are objects, probability measures and probability integrals are morphisms, ℳ(A) is the epireflection of A, ∫(.) dp is the corresponding unique extension of p, and ℳ(A) carries the initial structure with respect to probability integrals.

We discuss reasons why the fuzzy random events are modeled by ℳ(A) equipped with pointwise partial order, pointwise Łukasiewicz operations (logic) and pointwise sequential convergence. Each probability measure induces on classical random events an additive linear preorder which helps making decisions. We show that probability integrals can be characterized as the additive linearizations on fuzzy random events, i.e., sequentially continuous maps, preserving order, top and bottom elements.
