El Rif y el poder central: Una perspectiva histórica
Authors: De Madariaga María Rosa
Published: July 2023

Esta comunicación aborda la definición del término Rif desde el punto de vista histórico, geográfico y lingüistico haciendo un repaso de las diferentes definiciones que los autores han dado al término Rif para posteriormente analizar como es la relación de este territorio con el poder central siempre en tensión justificadas desde el exterior por ser el Rif un territorio marroquí o en continua rebeldía frente al sultán. La visión interna ejemplarizada en la figura de Abd- El Krim veía al sultán como rehén de fuerzas colonizadoras y por ello se llevan a cabo diferentes esfuerzos para conseguir el apoyo el sultán frustrados todos por Francia provocando la condena pública del movimiento rifeño por parte del sultán y abocando a este movimiento a la vía separatista.Negociaciones posteriores ofrecen al movimiento rifeño autonomía administrativa, pero la presencia de tropas colonizadoras en el territorio es un escollo insalvable pese a los avances que se hacen en el reconocimiento del sultán por parte de los rifeños.El movimiento rifeño idealizado por algunos sectores de la izquierda árabe y europea y comparado a movimiento independentistas como el vasco y el catalán tiene escasa tendencia separatista y esto también es observable en la rebelión rifeña de 1958 y 1959 que no pretendía la secesión.La descentralización del poder en ciertas regiones incluido el territorio rifeño se vislumbra como la solución consonante con la tradición marroquí para solventar los problemas que han sido la causa de la tensión entre el Rif y el poder central.AbstractThis article is focused in the definition of Rif from a historical, geographical and linguistic point of view, reviewing the different definitions given by several authors and analyzing the relationship between this region and the central power always in tension, justified from the outside because the Rif is a part of the Moroccan territory or for beeing a region in continuos rebellion against the Sultan. The internal point of view seems to be different and is exemplified by the figure of Abd-El Krim. He saw the Sultan as a hostage of the colonial power and carried out several efforts to achieve the Sultan support, but all these efforts were frustrated by France achieving the public condemn of the Rif movement by the Sultan and fuelling the separatism option of the Rif movement. Subsequent negotiations offered the Rif movement administrative autonomy, but the presence of colonial troops in the territory was an insurmountable obstacle despite the progress made in the recognizing of the Sultan by the Rif movement. This movement idealized by some sectors of the Arab and European left parties and compared to pro-independence movement as the Basque and Catalan separatist tendency has little in common and this is also observed in the Rif rebellion of 1958 and 1959. The decentralization of power in certain regions including the Rif territory is a solution to solve the problems that caused the tension between the Rif and the central power.
Región y elites en perspectiva electoral
Authors: López García Bernabé
Published: July 2023

El objetivo de esta comunicación es verificar si a lo largo de la historia de Marruecos independiente han llegado a existir espacios o “regiones” con especificidades en lo que al comportamiento político de sus habitantes se refiere. Las constituciones de 1992 y 1996 reconocen a la Región como colectividad local pero la ley de 1997 no le atribuye competencias dignas del nombre de una descentralización efectiva. La comunicación efectúa un repaso de la historia electoral de dos regiones con avidez de reconocimiento de su identidad como son el Rif y el Sahara, constatando el intervencionismo de la administración, el absentismo de la población o la presión sobre el electorado que dificultan la verificación buscada. La comunicación resume desde el punto de vista político la experiencia de las elecciones regionales de 1997, 2003 y 2009, y concluye con las expectativas creadas por la creación de la Comisión Consultiva para la Regionalización que deberá presentar antes de fin de 2010 un modelo a adoptar en Marruecos para una regionalización de competencias ampliadas.AbstractThe aim of this paper is to check if, over the history of independent Morocco, have existed spaces or "regions" with specific political behavior of its inhabitants. The constitutions of 1992 and 1996 recognize the region as the local community but tbut the 1997 law didn´t reach an effective decentralization empowerment. This paper makes a review of the electoral history of two regions based on the acknowledgment of their identity such as the Rif Mountains and the Sahara, noting the intervention of the administration, the absenteeism of the population or the pressure on the electorate that makes it difficult to check out . The paper summarizes from the political point of view the experience of the regional elections of 1997, 2003 and 2009, and concludes with the expectations created by the foundation of the Advisory Committee for Regionalization thatbefore the end of 2010 must submit a model for an extended powers regionalization system to be adopt in Morocco.

Published: July 2023

Marine ornamental aquarium is more and more popular. Nowadays, biofiltration system can convert nitrogen from toxic forms (NH4+/NH3, NO2-) into a less toxic form (NO3-), which creates a better water quality for the development of ornamental fishes in aquarium tank. This experiment was carried out to evaluate the efficiency of environmental quality by supplementation of sand and live rock in aquarium tank. There were two treatments with rock and sand supplement to the bottom of the tanks (NT1) and tanks without rock and sand added (NT2). There were 3 replicates for each treatment and the experiments were carried out in ten weeks. Results showed that sand and live rock could improve water quality and play as good place for fish and other creature hiding and reduce the water used. Water temperatures were 28.69oC (NT1) and 28.80oC (NT2), pH was about 8.13, salinity ranged from 34‰ to 35‰ in both treatments. NH4+was 0.035 ± 0.003 mgN/ml in the two treatments. After 2 weeks of putting fish in the experimental tanks NO2- values were 0.023 mgN/l (in treatment NT2) and 0.018 mgN/l (in treatment NT1). The average values of NO2- for whole experimental period in the NT1 and NT2 were 0.008 ± 0.001 mgN/l and 0.010 ± 0.002 mgN/l, respectively (P = 0.061). NO3- values were not significantly different between the two treatments (P > 0.05). However, the ratio of NO2-/NO3- in NT1 was lower compared to this value in NT2 (NT1: 0.15 ± 0.03% and NT2: 0.39 ± 0.09%, P = 0.018). This paper provides an important reference to help aquarists to design and control their ornamental aquarium tank suitably.

Representation of middle eastern countries in Geni Jora's novel: An analysis of travel literature according to Carl Thompson theory
Authors: Ilma Awla Akbar , Manshur Fadlil Munawwar , Sudibyo Sudibyo
Published: July 2023

This study aims to explain the representation of society and culture in Middle Eastern countries, including Morocco, Syria, and Jordan in the novel Geni Jora. The theory used is the theory of travel literature with the concept of representation of others according to Carl Thompson. Travel literature is a report about the world that is written based on the author's subjectivity and has a role in shaping the reader's knowledge. The results of the analysis show that the novel Geni Jora uses exploratory journey narratives and presents critical and courageous subjects. Morocco is described as a tolerant Islamic country because it succeeded in combining European modernity with past Islamic religiosity and Jewish culture. While Syria is described as a modern country, it is less religious and too Westernized. Likewise, Jordan is described as an Islamic country, but too westernized and inconsistent with Islamic ethics. The novel represents a contemporary travel literary genre that presents alternative and realistic narratives about the condition of the Middle East as a complex and diverse region. The novel also represents the contemporary travel genre which has not succeeded in narrating cosmopolitanism by still presenting competitive narratives and travel subjects that are superior when interacting with the characters encountered.

Published: July 2023

The two-phase flow structure in a flat polymeric pulsating heat pipe (PHP) is studied experimentally by high-speed imaging and digital image processing. While flow patterns in tubular pulsating heat pipes can be studied by inserting a short transparent section in a certain position along the channel, in flat PHPs built using transparent plastic sheets one can visualize the entire flow field in the adiabatic region between the evaporator and the condenser. High-speed movies were enhanced by digital image processing to highlight the liquid-vapor interfaces. Different flow patterns were
identified, and sorted into a simple flow pattern map.
The Effect of the Application of Mycorrhiza on Vegetative Growth, Mineral Element Intake, and Some Biochemical Characteristics of Strawberry Seedlings under Lime Stress
Authors: BALCI Gülden
Published: July 2023

This study aims to determine the effects of vesicular–arbuscular mycorrhiza (VAM) applications on vegetative growth, mineral element intake, and some biochemical characteristics of strawberry seedlings grown under lime stress conditions. The experiment was conducted with frigo seeds of "Albion" strawberry cultivar in pots filled with 1% lime mixture and 1:1 ratio of peat and perlite. In the uprootings performed in three different stages (four leaved, blooming, and fruit stages) to examine the biochemical effects of mycorrhiza applications against the lime stress, vegetative growth criteria (leaf chlorophyll and anthocyanin content, area, crown diameter, fresh and dry plant weights) and mineral contents in the plant parts (leaf, crown, and root) were determined. The proline, total phenolic content, and malondialdehyde (MDA), end product of the lipid peroxidation, analyses were conducted on the leaf samples taken in these uprooting. In all three stages, an increase in crown diameter and leaf area was determined. In uprooting periods, proline and total phenolic amounts increased, and, on the other hand, MDA decreased. Microelement intake, which decreased with the lime application, was detected to be increased with mycorrhiza applications. At the end of the experiment, mycorrhiza application was observed to lessen the effect of lime stress on strawberry seedlings.

Purpose – This research aims to derive factors when developing a data platform for container terminalinland transportation and provide implications for platform quality improvement to cope with supply chain security issues such as COVID-19. Design/methodology/approach – In this study, an extensive literature review and interviews with related business practitioners were performed to obtain detailed survey results. Independent sample T-tests were conducted to verify differences between container terminal groups and inland-carrier groups, including forwarders. Then, exploratory factor analysis and importance-performance analysis were performed using SPSS26.0. Findings – The results showed that system accessibility, quality, and diversity of information should be considered preferentially, suggesting that the efficient management of fixed capital could be possible through the strengthening of practice-oriented container terminal-inland transportation linkages. Research implications – This study proposed the introduction of a modular container terminal-inland transportation platform considering the characteristics of relatively small-scale inland-carriers and forwarders. In addition, it is possible to create competitive edge that connects maritime and inland transportation in a balanced way from the perspective of a port-based logistics cluster if the range of platform availability related to container terminals and background logistics connectivity is expanded in phases.

Thin films of copper oxide were fabricated by sol-gel method. For the preparation of CuO thin films, a sol-gel method based on copper acetate (Cu(CH3COO)2•H2O), isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O) and diethylamine ((CH3CH2 )2NH) was used. The film was applied by centrifugation at a speed of 1500 rpm for 75 seconds. The films were applied in 2, 4, 8 layers with drying between layers for 10 minutes at 250 °C. The thermal probe method was used to determine the p-type of conductivity of the films. The films were annealed at temperatures of 300, 400, 500, 600 °C. By method of X-ray phase analysis, it was found that the main phase in the films is CuO. On films without additional annealing, a single reflex corresponding to CuO (110) 31.7° is observed. After annealing the films at 400 and 500 °C, crystallization occurs and reflexes manifest: (110) by 31.7°, (–111) by 35.5°, (111) by 38.8°, corresponding to CuO. It was found that with an increase in the annealing temperature, the grain size decreases, which indicates the crystallization of the film and contributes to the improvement of gas-sensitive properties. The transparency of the films in the visible range has values T = 30—67 %. The width of the gap is estimated to be 1.9 eV. According to AFM data, the films have a fine-grained structure and with an increase in the annealing temperature from 300 °C to 400 °C, the size of the roughness decreases. The films have high gas sensitivity values (resistance change of 30 %) and low temperature values of maximum gas sensitivity (180—190) °C to ethanol, acetone, ammonia vapors in the air.
Automatic frequency dictionaryof connectivity by Lina Kostenko and Mykola Vinhranovsky
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, DARCHUK Nataliia
Published: July 2023

The article is devoted to the description of the linguistic support for the automatic arrangement of the word combinations of the text in the electronic dictionary, as well as to the comparative linguistic analysis of the obtained author’s dictionaries of the word combinations of the poetic text of Lina Kostenko (total volume of 30,057 word usages) and Mykola Vinhranovskyi (total volume of 20,317 word usages), placed in the Corpus of the Modern Ukrainian Language. The purpose of the analysis is to identify common and different phrases in functioning, with the establishment of the parameterization of the author’s style. The relevance of the topic is obvious in connection with the need to establish the grammatical and lexical valence of words, typical partlanguage conjunctiveness, laws of combinatorics of word combinations of various types and degrees. The novelty lies both in the approach itself, that is, in the possibility of automatically creating an alphabetic-frequency dictionary, and in the method of implementation: the phrase dictionary is part of the syntactic representation of a sentence in the form of a model – a graphic representation of a dependency tree, which is also an interesting tool for characterizing syntactic categories – predicativeness, order etc. The task of the parser was to identify all types of conjugation – predicative, subjunctive and consecutive – of each word in the text. Since the lexical-grammatical nature of a word determines its ability to combine with other words, word combinations are divided into noun, adjective, pronoun, numeral, verb and adverb. The article deals with simple binary phrases with or without a preposition, which can be extended into complex ones, because the analysis of the content structure is required to determine their composition. The perspective of the project is in further use in the semantic analysis of the text, as well as a finished product for linguistic research on the syntax of the Ukrainian language.

Published: July 2023

The article focuses on the features of the political process in Ukraine. It is argued that the political process is a form of functioning of the political system of society in space and time, and also reflects the real interaction of subjects of public policy. It is demonstrated that the conceptual principles of the theory and methods of studying political processes are sufficiently represented in native and foreign scientific literature. However, certain problems of political process development in Ukraine remain rather uncovered in the academic literature, in particular, the rise of new factors, challenges, or a permanent change in the political situation. The purpose of the article is to analyze the features of the political process in Ukraine, identify its main problems and development prospects. It has been determined that the political process in Ukraine is not linear, any consensus between the key actors of the process regarding its goals or means is a priori impossible, there is a constant vacillation between democratic and authoritarian tendencies, and most political actions and decisions are behind the scenes or shaded. The author specifies that the key factors influencing the political process in Ukraine are the transformation of the institutional system, the role of interest groups and pressure, as well as the value system and behavioral code of the native political elite. It is proved that an institutional trap has formed in Ukraine – an inefficient self-sustaining stable institutional balance based on a combination of formal and informal political institutions in the political process, which none of the main political actors want to change. This is due to the fact that in the institutional trap, political elites can receive rent and remain in power. At the same time, some institutional changes that took place in Ukraine after 2014 contribute to the gradual exit of our country from the institutional trap. As a result, in the short term, it is necessary to focus on strengthening the powers and expanding the influence of representative bodies of state power, because it is through them that citizens become closer both to the process of public administration in general and to legislative work.
Using Gradient Descent to An Optimization Algorithm that uses the Optimal Value of Parameters (Coefficients) for a Differentiable Function
Authors: Abdulazeez Falah Amer , Ismail Abdul Sttar , S. Abdulaziz Rafid
Published: July 2023

Deep neural networks (DNN) are commonly employed. Deep networks' many parameters require extensive training. Complex optimizers with multiple hyper parameters speed up network training and increase generalisation. Complex optimizer hyper parameter tuning is generally trial-and-error. In this study, we visually assess the distinct contributions of training samples to a parameter update. Adaptive stochastic gradient descent is a variation of batch stochastic gradient descent for neural networks using ReLU in hidden layers (aSGD). It involves the mean effective gradient as the genuine slope for boundary changes, in contrast to earlier procedures. Experiments on MNIST show that aSGD speeds up DNN optimization and improves accuracy without added hyper parameters. Experiments on synthetic datasets demonstrate it can locate redundant nodes, which helps model compression.

Published: July 2023

For practitioners to make informed decisions about resources like time and money, it's crucial that they get an accurate picture of the scale of software projects early in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). The current study proposes an adaption of the standards-based Function Point Analysis (FPA) model to meet the need for a uniform approach for estimating the size of OO software development and testing. At the SDLC's analysis and design stage, when UML diagrams are used, the adapter records the many characteristics of the OO software. During the analysis phase, the size of the development and testing phases is estimated using components derived from the UML use case model. Estimation components are derived from the UML object model and used to calculate the amount of development during the design process..
Application of Artificial Intelligence in Predicting Machining Surface Quality
Authors: Pandey Rohit
Published: July 2023

Achieving high-quality machining surface finishes is crucial in numerous manufacturing industries, as it directly impacts the performance and reliability of machined components. Traditionally, predicting machining surface quality involves extensive trial-and-error experiments, which are time-consuming, costly, and often impractical for complex machining processes. In recent years, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) techniques, particularly machine learning algorithms, has emerged as a promising approach for predicting machining surface quality accurately and efficiently. This abstract provides an overview of the application of AI in predicting machining surface quality, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and future prospects. The adoption of AI in predicting machining surface quality involves various stages. Firstly, a comprehensive dataset is collected, comprising machining parameters, tooling characteristics, and corresponding surface quality measurements. Next, pre-processing techniques are applied to clean and normalize the dataset, ensuring its suitability for training AI models. Subsequently, machine learning algorithms, such as support vector machines, neural networks, and random forests, are trained using the pre-processed data to develop predictive models. These models can capture complex relationships between machining parameters and surface quality, enabling accurate predictions.

The performance of the trained models is assessed using appropriate evaluation metrics, such as root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), and coefficient of determination (R-squared). Comparative analyses are conducted to identify the most effective AI model for predicting machining surface quality. Additionally, sensitivity analyses and feature selection techniques can be applied to identify the critical machining parameters that significantly impact surface quality. The application of AI in predicting machining surface quality offers several practical implications. It enables manufacturers to optimize machining processes, reduce scrap rates, and enhance product quality. By accurately predicting surface quality, manufacturers can make informed decisions regarding machining parameters, tooling selection, and process optimization, resulting in improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness. Furthermore, AI-based prediction models can be integrated into real-time monitoring systems, enabling continuous quality control and immediate adjustments to machining processes.

Despite the benefits, challenges exist in the application of AI for predicting machining surface quality. These include the availability and quality of training data, selection of appropriate features, and the interpretability of AI models. Overcoming these challenges requires continuous research and development efforts, such as the collection of large and diverse datasets, advanced feature engineering techniques, and the exploration of explainable AI methodologies.

Authors: Verma Deepak
Published: July 2023

The multiscale modelling and characterization of coupled damage-healing phenomena in materials play a crucial role in understanding and predicting the behaviour of complex material systems. In this study, we propose a concurrent computational homogenization approach combined with machine learning techniques to model and characterize the coupled damage-healing process. The objective of this research is to develop an efficient and accurate methodology that can capture the intricate interactions between damage evolution and healing mechanisms at multiple scales. By integrating machine learning algorithms into the computational homogenization framework, we aim to enhance the predictive capabilities and computational efficiency of the modelling approach. The significance of this lies in its potential to provide valuable insights into the damage-healing behaviour of materials, which can aid in the development of advanced materials with enhanced durability and longevity. Furthermore, the proposed methodology has the potential to accelerate the design and optimization processes for engineering structures by providing accurate predictions of material response under varying loading conditions.

To achieve these objectives, we will review the existing literature on multiscale modelling, damage mechanics, healing mechanisms, and machine learning techniques. This literature review will serve as the foundation for developing the methodology. We will also investigate previous studies that have utilized machine learning in the context of material damage and healing to gain insights into the potential advantages and limitations of incorporating machine learning into the concurrent computational homogenization approach. The evaluation of the proposed methodology will be conducted through extensive numerical simulations and comparison with experimental results. Various metrics, such as damage evolution accuracy, healing efficiency, and computational efficiency, will be employed to assess the performance of the approach.

The outcomes of this research will provide a deeper understanding of the coupled damage-healing process in materials and establish a foundation for further advancements in multiscale modelling and characterization. The application of machine learning techniques in concurrent computational homogenization has the potential to revolutionize the field of materials science and engineering by enabling more accurate predictions and efficient design of materials with enhanced damage tolerance and self-healing capabilities.
Computational Modelling and Analysis of Heat Transfer in Microchannel Heat Exchangers Using Machine Learning
Authors: Joshi Gaurav
Published: July 2023

Microchannel heat exchangers (MHEs) are becoming increasingly popular due to their compact size, high heat transfer efficiency, and potential for integration in various applications. However, accurately predicting and analyzing heat transfer in MHEs remains a challenging task due to the complex fluid dynamics and thermal behavior within the microchannels. In this study, we propose a computational modeling and analysis approach for heat transfer in MHEs using machine learning techniques. A numerical model is developed based on the conservation equations for mass, momentum, and energy. The model takes into account the effects of fluid flow, convection, and conduction within the microchannels.  The solving these equations directly can be computationally expensive and time-consuming, especially for large-scale systems or complex geometries. We leverage the power of machine learning algorithms to build an efficient surrogate model. We employ a supervised learning approach and train the model using a dataset generated from the numerical simulations. Several machine learning algorithms, including random forest, support vector regression, and neural networks, are evaluated and compared for their predictive performance. The models are trained using a subset of the dataset and validated against the remaining data to ensure their generalizability. The surrogate model is trained, it can be used for rapid and efficient prediction of heat transfer performance in MHEs. By inputting the relevant parameters, such as fluid properties and channel dimensions, the model provides accurate predictions of heat transfer coefficients and pressure drops. This enables engineers and researchers to optimize the design and operation of MHEs without the need for extensive numerical simulations. The proposed approach not only reduces computational costs but also provides valuable insights into the underlying physics of heat transfer in MHEs. By analyzing the feature importance derived from the machine learning models .This study demonstrates the effectiveness of machine learning in computational modeling and analysis of heat transfer in microchannel heat exchangers. The developed surrogate model offers a promising tool for efficient design optimization and performance prediction of MHEs, paving the way for advancements in the field of microscale heat transfer.
Development of Crosspoint Modification for Isogeometric Analysis in AI
Authors: Verma Deepak
Published: July 2023

Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) has emerged as a powerful computational method that seamlessly integrates computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA). It provides an innovative approach for solving complex engineering problems by employing the same basis functions used in CAD representations, such as Non-Uniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS), to discretize the computational domain. However, one of the challenges in IGA is the occurrence of crosspoints, which are regions where multiple NURBS patches meet. This  presents a novel development of a crosspoint modification technique for Isogeometric Analysis, leveraging the capabilities of Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms. The aim is to overcome the limitations posed by crosspoints and enhance the accuracy and efficiency of IGA simulations. It utilizes AI-based methods, such as deep learning and pattern recognition, to identify and modify the crosspoint regions in the NURBS-based representation. The AI model is trained on a large dataset of known crosspoint configurations and their corresponding modifications, enabling it to learn the underlying patterns and relationships between the geometry and the required modifications. This trained model is then employed to automatically identify and modify crosspoints in new IGA problems, streamlining the pre-processing stage and reducing human intervention. The crosspoint modification technique incorporates various strategies to ensure geometric continuity and smooth transition across the modified crosspoint regions. These strategies include local refinement of the NURBS control points, adaptively adjusting the degrees of the adjacent patches, and optimizing the blending functions in the crosspoint vicinity. Several numerical experiments and comparative studies are conducted. The results demonstrate that the crosspoint modification using AI significantly improves the accuracy of the IGA simulations, particularly in regions affected by crosspoints. Moreover, the computational efficiency is enhanced as the automated modification reduces the manual effort required for crosspoint handling.

This research contributes to the advancement of Isogeometric Analysis by introducing a novel AI-based crosspoint modification technique. By effectively addressing the challenges associated with crosspoints, the proposed method enhances the accuracy and efficiency of IGA simulations. The integration of AI algorithms with IGA holds great potential for future applications in various engineering disciplines, including structural analysis, fluid dynamics, and electromagnetics.

The potential gains from implementing such systems might be amplified by double if this opens the way for cutting-edge data fusion techniques. Even while first results from IoT research have been encouraging, there is still a lot of room for development in the industry. In this study, we focus on one such use case: community detection in emergency response. Similarity measures find similar data points while studying graph components. The graph represents the information or data that is the subject of the analysis.

Zagwarantowanie bezpieczeństwa publicznego obywateli należy do podstawowych zadań policji. Z bezpieczeństwem publicznym nierozerwalnie związane jest poczucie bezpieczeństwa, które ma istotny wpływ na jego postrzeganie, ocenę oraz odczuwanie braku zagrożeń.
Niniejsza praca zawiera szczegółową analizę poziomu i poczucia stanu bezpieczeństwa wśród mieszkańców oraz turystów województwa zachodniopomorskiego. Punktem wyjścia do tej analizy było dokonanie oceny stanu bezpieczeństwa w świetle działalności zachodniopomorskiej policji.
W ramach procesu badawczego przeprowadzono i przeanalizowano kilka tysięcy ankiet dotyczących poczucia bezpieczeństwa, zaś wyniki tej analizy posłużyły próbie odnalezienia zależności pomiędzy poczuciem bezpieczeństwa i stanem bezpieczeństwa wyrażonym w liczbach popełnionych przestępstw. Otrzymane dane porównano także z danymi statystycznymi policji, aby ustalić, czy istnieje korelacja pomiędzy liczbą oraz rodzajem przestępstw odnotowanych przez zachodniopomorską policję, działaniami policji a poczuciem bezpieczeństwa mieszkańców województwa. W ramach niniejszego opracowania udało się także zbudować innowacyjną konstrukcję mierników bezpieczeństwa, odnoszących się zarówno do poziomu, jak i poczucia bezpieczeństwa mieszkańców poszczególnych powiatów województwa zachodniopomorskiego. Mierniki te pozwoliły określić siłę i kierunek zależności pomiędzy poziomem bezpieczeństwa a poczuciem bezpieczeństwa mieszkańców regionu zachodniopomorskiego.
Wyniki przeprowadzonych badań oraz niniejsza praca mogą zdecydowanie posłużyć poprawie poziomu i stanu poczucia bezpieczeństwa w województwie zachodniopomorskim. Definiowanie kierunków współpracy czy ocena dotychczasowego wizerunku policji stanowi podłoże do budowania wzajemnego zaufania i chęci współpracy społeczeństwa z policją. Dlatego tak istotną rolę odgrywa realizacja przemyślanej strategii działania policji. Zrozumienie oczekiwań i potrzeb mieszkańców ma kluczowe znaczenie w budowaniu prawidłowych relacji społeczeństwa z policją i policji ze społeczeństwem.

Kuratorzy sądowi pełnią odpowiedzialne zadanie, które wiąże się z koniecznością posiadania odpowiednich kwalifikacji i predyspozycji osobistych, gdyż to od nich zależy resocjalizacja osób im podległych. Kurator musi kierować się odpowiednimi kryteriami moralnymi, a naruszenie przez niego obowiązków podlega odpowiedzialności dyscyplinarnej, która jest przedmiotem rozważań artykułu. Przedstawiono w nim zasady sądownictwa dyscyplinarnego, jak też zwrócono uwagę na występujące problemy praktyczne związane z niekompletnością uregulowań prawnych. Metodą badawczą wykorzystaną w artykule jest metoda dogmatycznoprawna.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is the commonest ligamentous injury to the knee joint. Various surgical methods have been described for the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with different kinds of grafts which have own merits and demerits. Bone patellar tendon bone is commonly used autograft for ACL reconstruction.Aim of this study was to analyse the functional outcome following arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using Bone- patellar tendon -bone graft (BTB)
Materials and methods: This is a prospective study of 32 patients awith the average age of 27 years (range: 19-51 years) between 2017 and 2019. Patients were treated by arthroscpically using bone- patellar tendon- bone graft. Appropriate post-operative care & physiotherapy was given. The functional evaluation of the patients was done at 3 month, 6month & 1year follow up. Based on clinical test we evaluate stability of the knee joint & normal knee function.We also usedTegner Lysholm knee score & VAS score for the evaluation of the results.
Results: 93 % of patients had normal or near normal knee function clinically.88% of the patients had excellent score as per Tegner lysholmknee scoring system. 27 out of 32 patient have no pain on VAS score at end of 1 year.The complications observed were anterior knee pain (10%), numbness over graft donor site (8%).
Conclusion: ACL reconstruction using the bone-patellar tendon-bone method can provide very good functional outcome based on objective and subjective assessments .Early return to daily activities possible by improving knee stability and knee function.

Introduction: Magnetic Resonance (MR) Imaging has opened new horizons in the diagnosis and treatment of many musculoskeletal diseases of the ankle and foot and is useful to confirm the presence and extent of a soft tissue mass and to determine the precise anatomic location, which aids in surgery; in some cases, the appearance is specific for a particular lesion. Purpose of Study: Our aim was to study various Magnetic Resonance Imaging findings of various neoplastic lesions of ankle and foot. Results: Total 49 patients (Male - 27, Female - 22) were studied with various neoplastic conditions involving the ankle and foot. Amongst the neoplastic lesions involving the bones, 62.5% of neoplasms were benign lesions while 37.5% were malignant. Amongst the neoplastic lesions involving the soft tissue, 36.7% of neoplasms were benign lesions while 63.3% were malignant. On MRI, 84% of study population with neoplastic lesions showed hyperintense signal on T1WI while 16% showed hyperintense signal. Although 26.7% of study population with neoplastic lesions showed hypointense signal on T2WI, while 73.3% showed hyperintense signal. Conclusion: According to our study, MRI in combination with other radiologic images is very helpful in appropriate diagnostic imaging for neoplastic lesions involving the bone and soft tissue of the ankle and foot.
