Differential diagnosis of vertigo
Authors: Lučić-Prokin Aleksandra
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Although vertigo is most often of benign etiology and in most cases it is not necessary to have an emergency transport to the health facilities, there is still a huge burden on Emergency Medical Services (EMS). Vertigo can be caused by lesion or dysfunction in vestibular apparatus of the inner ear - peripheral vertigo, while changes in upper parts of the vestibular system define central vertigo. Usually, the description of vertigo complaints is unclear, so recognising central vertigo is a bit difficult, which can have fatal consequences. Distinguishing between the types of vertigo has a significant contribution to the EMS physician's decision-making. Consequently, the management of underlying condition causing central vertigo requires expedited approach by an interprofessional team including the emergency medicine team, the radiologists, the neurologist, and very often the interventional neuroradiologists. Objectives: By presenting the most common differential diagnostic vertiginous entities, the factors will be determined which can help EMS physicians to make the appropriate decision. Methodology: A systematic review of the professional literature was performed in the index databases and leading scientific journals. The findings were systematized based and commented on results and in the discussion. Results: The most common causes of peripheral vertigo are benign paroxysmal positional vertigo, acute vestibular neuronitis/labyrinthitis, Ménière's disease. Cerebrovascular diseases form the largest group of centrally caused vertigo. Using some of the simple diagnostic tests can be helpful in the differential diagnosis of vertigo (Dix-Hallpike maneuver, head-impulse test, ABCD2 score). Conclusion: Detailed anamnesis with data on duration and circumstances under which vertigo occurs, clinical examination and additional diagnostic tests ensure a rapid triage procedure and faster transport times to appropriate specialized institutions (if necessary).

Authors: Milojević Igor , Savićević Marko , Dimitrijević Miloš
Published: December 2023

Knowledge transfer is a key determinant of the development and implementation of innovations. It has not yet been sufficiently investigated how knowledge transfer can influence the environmental innovations of acquired companies in Serbia. This study investigates the role of knowledge transfer in acquired companies in Serbia and examines the impact of knowledge transfer on environmental innovation, i.e. on environmental innovation activities and strategy. The research was conducted based on the answers of 91 respondents, i.e. employees from five companies that were part of the acquisition process in Serbia. Collected primary data were processed in the SPSS program, using statistical analysis such as descriptive statistical analysis, correlational statistical analysis, and regression statistical analysis. Empirical results show that knowledge transfer in acquisition processes has a positive impact on the environmental innovations of acquired companies. The results show that knowledge transfer activities encourage the development and implementation of environmental innovations in those acquired companies. Since there is a lack of studies investigating the environmental orientation of acquired companies, this study contributes to the understanding of how knowledge sharing promotes the development of environmental innovations in acquired companies.

Authors: Sobamowo Gbeminiyi , Ewansiha Amenaghawon , Ojuro Joy , Jemiseye Akinwale , Fawumi Rotimi , Oyedele Ojuroye
Published: December 2023

Lithium iron phosphate battery is a type of rechargeable lithium battery that has lithium iron phosphate as the cathode material and graphitic carbon electrode with a metallic backing as the anode. It is a relatively new emerging energy storage battery that is Cobalt-free and Nickel-free. However, its integration with solar PV systems and the specific precautions for its use is not well known to most technicians and installers, especially in developing countries. In this paper, the issues on the applications and integration/compatibility of lithium iron phosphate batteries in off-grid solar photovoltaic systems are discussed. Also, the characteristics, properties, advantages, and disadvantages of the battery are presented. From the study, it is shown that if the battery operates with a charge control algorithm specially set for long charge durations, the energy storage system is an ideal choice for an off-grid photovoltaic system. This is due to their high energy density, long cycle life, relatively low cost compared to Li-ion, high safety, low toxicity, low risk of thermal runaway or combustion, low self-discharge rate, high capacity, lightweight, lower environmental impact, low maintenance, high cell voltage, fast charging, high-temperature stability, high discharge power, a good lifetime when deep cycled, etc. Additionally, the advantages have made the battery to be highly valued in energy storage, backup power, vehicle use utility-scale stationary applications, electric vehicles, commercial batteries , solar power, and other renewable energy applications, etc.
The role of digital transformation in modern business
Authors: Zimonjić Bojan , Zimonjić Marijana
Published: December 2023

The development of digital technologies has caused major changes in all areas of modern society, including business. The benefits of implementing these technologies in the business sector are huge and enable companies to better and faster communication with consumers, a more accurate understanding of consumer needs and desires, faster product delivery, lower costs, but a better competitive position. It is believed that nowadays, companies that do not take adequate steps in the digital transformation of their own business have a lower chance of sustaining themselves in a very demanding market. Certainly, digital transformation must not be carried out spontaneously, but a purposeful strategy must be designed if companies want to adequately use all its potential. The mass migration to digital platforms has led to easier collection of data often referred to as "digital fingerprints" and has led to greater exposure of users of digital platforms to various types of cybercrime. Cybercrime threatens both consumers and companies' operations, and it is necessary to take all measures that will ensure the cyber security of both consumers and employees. Otherwise, consumers may lose confidence in the companies they do business with, and companies may face lost profits and damaged reputations.
Significance of serum amyloid A for the course and outcome of SARS-CoV-2 infection
Authors: Jegorović Boris , Šipetić-Grujičić Sandra , Ignjatović Svetlana
Published: December 2023

The occurrence of a new coronavirus, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), quickly became a global threat after it had spread across the continents in just a few months. Over the next three years, it caused infections in over 646.6 million people and resulted in over 6.6 million deaths. As a novel disease, Coronavirus Disease 19 (COVID-19) became the subject of intensive research. Due to various clinical manifestations of the infection with possible fatal outcomes, it became evident that a finer understanding of COVID-19 pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and complications is necessary. Investigation of acute-phase reaction as a component of the immune system response to infection can be very helpful. Serum amyloid A (SAA) was investigated for this purpose as one of the acute-phase reactants primarily synthesized by the hepatocytes in response to pro-inflammatory cytokines. It has been found that elevated SAA levels were independent factors for gastrointestinal manifestations and liver injury during COVID-19 but also one of the factors in COVID19-associated coagulopathy. Studies showed that SAA levels positively correlate with disease severity and prognosis. Patients with severe infection demonstrated significantly higher levels of SAA. Higher SAA levels were observed in COVID-19 patients with chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, cerebrovascular diseases, and obesity, all recognized as independent risk factors for critical disease and poor prognosis. Patients with COVID-19 who died had higher levels of SAA than survivors. This short review will summarize current studies and knowledge about SSA in COVID-19, its role in the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection, and its clinical usefulness in COVID-19 patients.
From deforestation to recovery: One new species and new record of the genus Metapocyrtus Heller, 1912 (Coleoptera: Curculionidae: Entiminae: Pachyrhynchini) from Negros Island, Philippines with the review of type material
Authors: Terzin Tomislav , Bangoy Shirley
Published: December 2023

As recently as the late nineteen century, Negros Island of the Philippines was still virgin forest. Unfortunately, due to combined effects of commercial logging, population growth and largescale agriculture, only 4% of the primary rainforest remained by the end of twentieth century. Here we report on the recovery of rainforest entomofauna. One new species of the genus Metapocyrtus Heller, 1912 from the Island of Negros, Western Visayas, the Philippines has been described, and one species known only from a type specimen, has been rediscovered after nearly one century. M. (Trachycyrtus) augustanae sp. n. was found in the Northern Negros National Park, along with the rediscovered M. (Orthocyrtus) bifoveatus, Schultze 1923. The species Eumacrocyrtus canlaonensis Shultze 1924. also has been collected on high elevation of the mount Canlaon and an addendum to its original description has been provided here. At the end we discuss similarity between monospecific genus Eumacrocyrtus Schultze 1924 and the species Orthocyrtus bifoveatus either as a synapomorphy which would require inclusion of the genus Eumacrocyrtus into the genus Metapocyrtus and the subgenus Orthocyrtus, or as mimicry between two species.

Published: December 2023

In this paper we studied the possibility of using seedlings of type 1/0 in establishing clonal plantations of black poplar by planting at a depth of 1.2 m. The research was conducted in the period between 2020 and 2023 and included monitoring the survival percentage (%) of seedlings after the first vegetation period in seven experimental trials. The trials were established in the area of Public Enterprise Vojvodinašuma - Forest Estate Sremska Mitrovica and Forest Estate Novi Sad. The trials themselves differed from each other in terms of experimental design, namely: (a) three trials were established in the form of a comparative clonal test, using seedlings of type 1/1 and 1/0, which were planted at a depth of 0.8 m and 1.2 m, respectively, (b) one experiment was established in the form of a comparative clonal test with type 1/0 seedlings planted at two depths: 2.0 m (deep planting) and 1.2 m (normal planting), and type 1/1 seedlings planted at depth 0.8 m, (c) three trials were established only from seedlings of type 1/0 (planting depth 1.2 m) on large areas, in the form of agroforestry systems, and the success of reception was observed in relation to the "Pravilnik o bližim uslovima, kao i načinu dodele i korišćenja sredstava iz godišnjeg programa korišćenja sredstava budžetskog fonda za šume Republike Srbije i budžetskog fonda za šume Autonomne pokrajine ("Official Gazette of RS", no. 17/2013 and 20/2016)", which, among other things consider the establishment of plantations and intensive plantings successful "if after one vegetation period, more than 90% of the seedlings survived" (Article 19, Paragraph 2). The results indicate that regardless of climatic conditions during the growing season, as well as the time of year in which plantations are established, planting one-year-old stools at a depth of 1.2 m achieves a high percentage of survival, which averaged around 91.0%, in comparative clone tests, and 95.1%, in agroforestry systems. Also, data from comparative clone tests showed that the influence of the clone did not significantly affect the percentage of stools survival percentage. The establishment of black poplar clonal plantations by planting one-year-old stools at a depth of 1.2 m could significantly improve nursery production and the establishment of plantations, considering both simpler and cheaper production of seedlings in stool beds, as well as the lower costs of plantations establishing.
Evaluation of steel turning by means of probability-based multi-objective optimization with appropriate numbers of attributes
Authors: Zheng Maosheng , Yu Jie
Published: December 2023

Introduction/purpose: Turning is a typical machining process. However, an appropriate solution for a concurrent optimization of minimizing surface roughness, minimizing cutting forces and vibrations, and maximizing the material removal rate in turning processes has not been found yet. This article formulates the rule of separating an independent attribute from multiple attributes by using the linear correlation coefficient in the spirit of the cluster analysis first. Moreover, the evaluation of the concurrent optimization of steel turning by means of probability - based multi - objective optimization (PMOO) is taken as an example to show the procedure including the separation of an independent attribute from multiple attributes by using PMOO. Methods: PMOO is a promising solution for turning processes. It is necessary to have an independent attribute in the evaluation of PMOO to be analogical as an independent event in the view of the probability theory. The separation of an independent attribute from multiple attributes by using the linear correlation coefficient is conducted in the spirit of the cluster analysis. It further assumes that if the linear correlation coefficient of two attributes in the cluster analysis is higher than 0.8, i.e., in case of very strong correlation, then they could be put into one category, and only one of them could be taken as an independent attribute to join the evaluation of PMOO. Results: The formulation reflects the essence of PMOO and its application in material machining rationally, which opens a new way for solving the relevant problem. The example of the parameter optimization of steel turning by means of PMOO indicates the rationality of the appropriate solution. Conclusion: This innovative study has practical significance of making the utilization of PMOO method reasonable by providing a rational rule of separating independent attributes from multiple attributes of PMOO.
Challenges of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), transformation of modern armed forces and the ethical dilemma of robotic automation
Authors: Miloradović Nenad , Vukadinović Goran
Published: December 2023

Introduction/purpose: The first industrial revolution used the power of steam and water for the mechanization of manufacturing. The second one used electricity for mass production. The third one used electronics and information technologies for the automation of production, while the fourth industrial revolution aims to enable erasing of the boundaries between the physical, digital and biological spheres in order to reach smart automation and increase the interconnection of system elements. Thus, previous industrial revolutions changed the way we work, the next one is changing the way we think. Our generation is privileged of being a contemporary of tectonic technological changes, a witness to changes that fundamentally convert production processes and relations in production, but also a witness to the changes that those products bring to the functioning of the mankind, from individuals to state organizations, including the military as well. The main goal of this paper is to indicate to the wider military academic community the need for coordination and interdependent development of combat systems, doctrine and structure of defence organizations. Methods: This paper will use general scientific methods that are used, or can be used, to acquire scientific knowledge in all scientific fields and disciplines. We highlight the hypothetical-deductive method, the analyticaldeductive method and the comparative method. Results: (Increased) Equipping with weapons and military equipment generated from the current technological revolution requires radical changes in the defence area, both in the combat component, i.e. changes of basic combat units that should optimally use these weapons (their doctrines, tactics, organization, training, etc.) as well as the administrative-bureaucratic component of the national defence system that deals with the procedures of weapons development, production and procurement, which should follow the fastest pace of innovation ever in the commercial industry area. Conclusion: The authors would like to point out the interdependence between the emerging challenges of the 4IR and the directions of transformation of modern armed forces.

Introduction/purpose: In this paper, several critical remarks are presented concerning the paper of Iqbal & Rizwan: Existence of the solution to second order differential equation through fixed point results for nonlinear F-contractions involving w0-distance from 2020. Methods: Conventional theoretical methods of functional analysis. Results: It is shown that their use of the non-decreasing "control" function F instead of a strictly increasing one in Wardowski-type results usually produces contradictions. Conclusion: It is shown that such results can be obtained in a more general class of metric-like spaces, where strict monotonicity is the only assumption that has to be imposed on the function F. An example is presented showing that the obtained results are stronger than the classic ones.

Este artigo propõe discutir a relação entre design e artesanato analisando os processos de grupos produtivos na criação de peças autorais. A partir do relato de experiência do desenvolvimento das coleções do Ateliê Social do Instituto Casa de Mãe, procura se registrar o método utilizado com o objetivo de refletir sobre questões pertinentes à realidade local para a criação de narrativas poéticas e estéticas, assim como para a geração de renda. Esse direcionamento de projeto traz à luz questionamentos sobre o objeto artesanal urbano, seus simbolismos e qual o papel dos designers ao lidar com grupos de artesãos. Após o relato de cinco anos de coleções colaborativas, conclui-se que o artesão contemporâneo não atua sozinho, mas a partir da interação de uma teia de conexões disposta à construir uma economia criativa.

Published: December 2023

Mit der am 24. November im Bundesrat gescheiterten Novelle des Straßenverkehrsgesetzes (StVG) und der darauf aufbauenden Straßenverkehrsordnung (StVO) bleibt es beim verkehrsrechtlichen Stillstand. Das Chaos im deutschen Straßenverkehrsrecht  hätte die Novelle nicht beseitigt, aber immerhin einen kleinen Reformschritt bedeutet: Sie hätte Kommunen zum Beispiel straßenverkehrsrechtliche Anordnungen aus Gesundheits-, Klima-, Umweltschutz- und städtebaulichen Gründen ermöglicht, ohne sie (jedenfalls theoretisch) weiter an eine Gefahrenlage zu binden (dazu hier). Eine systematische und zukunftsfähige Neuaufstellung des Straßenverkehrsrechts steht aus.

Subject: To investigate the correlation between mean platelet volume (MPV) levels and Gensini scores in stable coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with or without diabetes. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 2525 patients with stable CHD in Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University. There were 1274 in the low MPV group and 1251 in the high MPV group, divided by a median MPV level of 10.9 fL. In the total population, 1605 patients were non-diabetic and 920 were diabetic. The severity of coronary artery disease was quantified using the Gensini score. Results: The Gensini score was significantly higher in the high MPV group than in the low MPV group (p < 0.001). MPV levels increased significantly with the number of stenotic (>50%) coronary vessels (p < 0.001). The Spearman analysis showed a positive correlation between MPV and Gensini score (r = 0.189, p < 0.001), which was more significant in the diabetic subgroup (r = 0.232, p < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were employed to assess the predictive value of MPV for high Gensini scores, using the median value of 32 points as the cutoff. MPV levels in the diabetes cohort exhibited a higher predictive value for high Gensini scores (area under the curve: 0.635 [0.614–0.657], p < 0.001). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that diabetes and MPV were independently associated with Gensini scores. Conclusion: MPV levels in stable CHD patients can predict the severity of coronary artery stenosis. This correlation is more significant in the presence of diabetes.
