Why Zooarchaeology Needs Stable Isotope Analysis
Authors: Szpak Paul
Published: May 2023

If the goal of zooarchaeology is to better understand human-animal relationships in the past, stable isotope analysis is uniquely positioned to advance that goal. Drawing on ethnographic literature, this chapter discusses the range of relationships that exist between humans and animals, emphasizing differences based on the proximity of humans and animals, the amount of time that space is shared, and the number of distinct individuals participating in these relationships. Using this framework, several case studies are presented in which isotopic data have provided real insights into the nature of the lived relationships between humans and animals. This chapter argues that isotopic analysis should feature prominently in all future zooarchaeological research.

Published: May 2023

Currently, network requirements are placed on the efficiency and size of the networks. These conditions can be ensured by modern converged networks that integrate the functions of both data and telecommunication networks. Line or router failures have always been a part of transmission networks, which is no different from converged networks. As a result of outages, which can take from ms to tens of seconds, packets are lost. These outages cause degraded transmission quality, which is undesirable when transmitting real-time multimedia services (Voice over IP, video). To solve the mentioned problems, the IETF organization has developed IP Fast Reroute mechanisms to minimise the time to restore the connection after a line or node failure and, consequently, less packet loss.
The article reviews and compares the latest IP Fast Reroute mechanisms deployed in the last three years. First, we have Optimistic Fast Rerouting, which calculates optimistic and fallback scenarios. The second is Post-processing Fast Reroute, which decomposes the network according to metrics such as load and route length. Third, Local Fast Reroute focused on low congestion and random access.

Published: May 2023

This paper presents a novel approach to applying the Virtual Power Plant (VPP) concept and for the Cost-Reflective Network Charging Tariff. The paper proposes an innovative energy trade concept based on current research and literature analysis. The technical novelty of the paper is motivated by reviewing the current developments in the Lithuanian renewable energy sector and related research on VPPs and cost-reflective pricing. The components of the VPP, including balancing of generation and consumption profiles, load forecasting, and solar generation predicted, are thoroughly described, along with a method for determining the network and VPP costs. An optimisation algorithm for cost optimisation is also presented. The paper concludes by demonstrating the implementation and operation of the EA-SAS Cloud Virtual Power Plant platform, which represents a significant contribution to the field of smart energy management.

Published: May 2023

Estimating the electric power used by railway vehicles is an important factor in the planning of future power consumption, looking for possibilities to reduce the use of electric power and therefore also reduce carbon emissions. To improve the estimation, we used the imperialist competitive algorithm in the optimisation process of a mathematical model of a tram vehicle. Specifically, in the setting of the proportional and summation constant of the vehicle speed controller which emulates the activity of the driver in the simulation. Our work presents a new approach to optimising the estimation of energy consumption in tram transport. The method used is based on mathematical modelling and simulation of social development in human society. To obtain the input data for the simulation, we performed a measurement of the reference speed by means of a GPS receiver located in a sample tram vehicle. Subsequently, to verify the model and energy calculation results, we measured the output currents and voltage from the traction converter station at the corresponding time. Our method achieved a 93 % match between the measured and simulated power consumption.
Contemporary Human Rights Law and Ageism
Authors: Mikołajczyk Barbara
Published: May 2023

The continuously and dynamically growing number of older persons worldwide experience various types of exclusion, negligence, isolation, degrading treatment, elder abuse and the deprivation of a long list of their human rights. Regardless of residence and standard of living in a given country, older adults are the most excluded from the mainstream. Just as racism or sexism leads to a violation of the dignity and rights of people of a different race or gender, so ageism has a similar effect. Therefore, combating ageism is a challenge to international human rights law. This chapter is based on the core human rights treaties and the latest developments of the international community in combating ageism. Selected human universal and regional rights treaties along with soft law documents are analysed. The activities of the human rights bodies, including the independent expert on the enjoyment of all human rights by older persons, are also reviewed as the author focuses on human rights law in action. The author intends to indicate the untapped potential of states’ current international obligations, international mechanisms and gaps in addressing ageism at the international forum.

Renovascular Hypertension and Seemingly Non-functioning Kidney Renewed Following Auto-transplantation: Pearls from Over Two Decades of Follow-up
Authors: Neishabouri Afarin , Torabinavid Parham , Kajbafzadeh Abdol-Mohammad
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Renovascular hypertension is among the significant causes of severe hypertension in pediatrics. Primary therapeutic approaches, including drug therapy or angioplasty, are not always feasible, and their effectiveness is variable. Meanwhile, several conditions leading to renal function impairment, including severe renal artery stenosis, may represent the respective kidney as an apparently non-functioning organ in various imaging modalities. We aim to demonstrate that the only organ in the body of a child with non-treated renovascular hypertension and severe renal artery stenosis is the ipsilateral non-functioning kidney. This kidney is alive and protected from hypertension by renal artery stenosis. Renal autotransplantation (RAT) can be superior to nephrectomy in such cases to protect from severe hypertension. This phenomenon can be confirmed by controlled hypertension and hypertrophy of transplanted kidney accompanied by shrinkage of contralateral compensatory hypertrophy. Case Presentation: We introduce a 14-year-old child with a history of diagnosed hypertension from seven years ago, presenting with resistance to four-drug therapy. Renal scintigraphy and intravenous pyelography found no activity pertaining to the relative kidney, and angiography exhibited severe stenosis of the renal artery with preserved blood circulation. Renal autotransplantation successfully restored the function of the respective kidney based on pre-and post-surgery intravenous pyelography and decreased the blood pressure to normal limits. Conclusions: Our experience shows we cannot mark a kidney as a "non-functioning" organ only on the basis of the preliminary findings from conventional imaging modalities, including intravenous pyelography, scintigraphy, and duplex ultrasound. Moreover, in cases that angioplasty is failed or is not feasible, renal auto-transplantation may be a safe alternative with promising outcomes in patients with renovascular hypertension, being able to restore the function of the kidney.
Management of Hypernatremia Dehydration in Three Neonates with Ichthyosis
Authors: Sangsari Razieh , Saeedi Maryam , Mirnia Kayvan
Published: May 2023

Introduction: Ichthyosis is an epidermal disruption that increases insensible water loss. Hypernatremic dehydration is a consequence of skin disruption. This study reviewed the treatment of hypernatremic dehydration in patients with ichthyosis comparing to patients with intact skin. Case Presentation: We studied five neonates with hypernatremia, including three ichthyosis cases and two normal-skin neonates. This case-series study showed that the sodium correction rate is slower in infants with ichthyosis than in infants with normal skin. The first and second neonates needed less sodium than fluid intake than normal skin infants, although fluid requirement was lower in the third ichthyosis infant than in others due to less skin disruption in this infant. Conclusions: Fluid therapy in hypernatremic dehydration in ichthyosis patients is different from neonates with intact skin because of excessive insensible water loss in these patients. It may be needed to give more fluid and less sodium depending on the degree of skin disruption, which may not be determined by physical examination.
Gender-based analysis of antibiotic prescribing trends for pediatric patients with respiratory tract infections admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Lahore

Published: May 2023

Respiratory tract infections (RTIs), caused by microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in children worldwide. Antibiotic resistance is a serious concern, and proper prescribing practices are necessary to avoid life-threatening situations. Thus, this study aims to conduct a gender-based analysis and compare antibiotic prescribing patterns for pediatric patients with respiratory tract infections admitted to a tertiary care hospital in Lahore. This comparative cross-sectional study was conducted at Children’s Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan, for three months and enrolled 250 pediatric patients who met the inclusion criteria, including 155 males and 95 females. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews and reviewing hospital records. The results of the study showed that the average number of drugs per prescription was 3.06 ± 1.29 (male) and 3.12 ± 1.5 (female), while the average number of antibiotics per prescription was 2.25 ± 0.60 (male) and 2.17 ± 0.58 (female). The most prevalent medical conditions were bronchopneumonia (53.55% males and 58.95% females), followed by respiratory distress (20.00% males) and pneumonia (16.13% males and 16.84% females). The most commonly prescribed drugs were J01DD04: Ceftriaxone (78.71% males and 71.58% females), J01CR02: Amoxicillin/Clavulanate (59.35% males and 56.84% females), and J01GB06: Amikacin (41.29% males and 45.26% females). A low percentage of prescriptions had major drug-drug interactions (8.39% males and 10.53% females), while most prescriptions had no drug-drug interactions (81.94% males and 84.21% females). There was no significant difference between male and female patients for caregiver, indications for antibiotic prescriptions, the class of active agent prescribed, and drug interactions. Our study findings indicate that most male and female patients admitted to the hospital with lower respiratory tract infections were prescribed antibiotics alongside analgesics and antipyretics. Furthermore, our analysis revealed minimal drug interactions among the prescribed medications. Importantly, we observed a similar antibiotic prescribing trend among male and female pediatric patients, highlighting the consistency in treatment approaches.

Tuberculin skin test (PPD) is an important test far the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Palpation is an old method for the measurement of PPD enduration diameter. And this process needs experiance and takes relatively a long time to accurately measure the PPD enduration. Obtained values of the PPD measurement ma}' be different from person to person with this method. Recently new method was developed because of the standardization difficulty of the palpation method.This new method is called " Pencil Method ". But pencil method was neither standardized nor used as an alternative to the palpation method on a wide scale. In this study, new method was described to 4 health staff members who were experienced on palpation method but not on pencil method. And PPD endurations of 170 subjects were measured with both methods by these 4 staff members. The interaction between these 4 person was prevented and one did not know what other were doing. PPD enduration diameter was 10. 98±0.59 with Pencil method, 10.32±0.58 with palpation method. There was a significant difference between two methods ( p<0.005 ). There was no significant difference between the measurements of health staff members far each method. As a result, Although PPD enduration diameter was measured larger with pencil method, especially in the field studies, this method can be used as an easier and quicker method before and after the BCG vaccinations.

This study is focused on describing the horizontal communication among employees with ethnic country diversity in the communication process and examining the barriers to communication as well as efforts made by the employees in resolving horizontal communication conflicts. The data collection technique used is a focus group discussion of structured interviews with three Indonesian and three Foreign employees. The interviews were done by dividing the employees into two discussion groups according to their ethnicity to answer the same research questions. The results show that the horizontal communication process between employees is going well and needs to be influenced by the diversity of employees in terms of ethnicity. Barriers to horizontal communication between employees are communication barriers in terms of employee psychology and semantics. Efforts made by employees in overcoming horizontal communication conflicts are by compromising. However, Indonesian employees tend to make efforts to integrate the implications of this study following the results of the research, which stated that employees’ ethnic diversity did not directly affect the continuity of horizontal communication among employees in the company.

"ÜBERSETZUNGS- UND KOMMUNIKATIONSSCHWIERIGKEITEN BEI DER ÜBERSETZUNG VON STUDIENDOKUMENTEN AUS DEM RUMÄNISCHEN INS DEUTSCHE "
Authors:   University of Medicine, Tg-Mureş, Serbac Patricia
Published: May 2023

Die Übersetzung von Studiendokumenten aus dem Rumänischen ins Deutsche dient den Studenten oder Absolventen, die sich in einem deutschsprachigen Land weiterbilden möchten, oder die sich für ein Stipendium bewerben. Doch in der Verwaltungssprache in dem Bereich des Unterrichts ist es nicht immer leicht, Äquivalenzen zu finden. Es gibt zwei Gründe dafür: erstens, das Unterrichtssystem der zwei Länder ist nicht identisch und zweitens, es gibt viele „falsche Freunde“ aus dem gemeinsamen europäischen Wortschatz. Das kann nicht nur zu Übersetzungs- sondern auch zu Kommunikationsschwierigkeiten zwischen den sich bewerbenden Studenten und den betreffenden Behörden oder zwischen den Behörden der zwei Länder führen. Weil heute die Kommunikation immer wichtiger ist, sollten diese Probleme gelöst werden.
