Numerical Analysis of the Influence of Basic Operating Parameters on the Performance Characteristics of Solar-Driven Ejector Cooling
Authors:   Faculty of Mechanical Enginnering, Belgrade, University, Belgrade, Serbia, Petrović Branislav , Gojak Milan , Kozić Đorđe
Published: January 2021

Researchers are becoming growingly interested in the development of solar-driven ejector cooling systems, primarily due to their potential to be used as renewable energy sources. Absorption and adsorption refrigeration systems not only involve considerable investment but are also much less reliable than the ejector refrigeration sys-tems, which do not contain any movable parts. In adition, ejector refrigeration has the advantage of low capital cost, simple design, reliable operation, long lifespan and almost no maintance. The only weakness of this system is the low efficiency and its intolerance to deviations from design operation condition.The paper develops a mathematical mod-el with an algorithm which is based on the laws of thermodynamics and the principles of mass and momentum conser-vation. Based on the obtained model, the influence of temperature on the basic system parameters for two working fluids, R134a and R290, is presented. The working fluid temperature ranges are 80-100°C in the generator, 5-15°C in the evaporator and 33-40°C in the condenser. The important performace indicators are the characteristic ejector area ratio Ar (as a geometrical ejector parameter), ejector entrainment ratio, ejector efficiency and the COP. The results indicate that ejector geometry and working fluid type have a major impact on the ejector cooling system’s performance.

Published: January 2021

Thermal characteristics of energy efficient buildings are analyzed and energy demands are estimated. A concept of combined compressor – ejector thermal system for simultaneous production of electricity, heating, refrigeration and air conditioning is exposed. The performance characteristics of the natural gas prime motor – electric generator are assessed and optimum construction of the combined compressor – ejector refrigeration / heat pump unit is proposed to satisfy the energy demands for electricity, heating, cooling and air conditioning. Basic thermal calculations, material and energy balances of the complete thermal system are carried out and optimizing procedures for the thermal system components are given. A comparison of the proposed thermal systems and energy (natural gas) consumption with the conventional thermal systems and energy consumption for electricity, heating (natural gas - boiler), cooling (electricity – compressor refrigeration system) and air conditioning is made.
Numerical Simulation of Fluid Flows in Rotary Discs
Authors:   PUC ", Mandić Dragan ,   Beogradske elektrane",   , Belgrade, Serbia
Published: January 2021

The object of this paper is to model the complex fluid motion that is caused by the rotational motion of rotary disks. In doing so, the rotary disk occupied a normal or parallel position with respect to the fluid flow axis. Various designs of rotary bodies were also applied, with the introduction of fluid through the central opening inside the impeller of the rotating bodies and with the introduction of fluid on the outer surfaces of these impellers (surfaces limited by the largest diameters of the rotary discs). During the modeling, different initial conditions for different structures and positions of rotating bodies were adopted. For each individual stream, flow diagrams are given through a cylindrical fluid stream whose translational motion is complicated by the rotational motion of the friction disks in its flow. The results obtained give a clear picture of the disturbances and changes in the front of the fluid motion wave which can be used as a necessary experience in the design of circulating technological systems.

Published: January 2021

The paper is focused on the area of introducing new technologies and the consequent impact on a more efficient functioning of a company, with an emphasis on reducing labour costs. A case study has been created for a company that replaced its employees with technology to reduce the dependence of its performance on the staff. Our aim was to quantify the impact of this managerial decision on the company,as well as to quantify the negative impact on the state budget. With this decision, the company will not only reduce its dependence on its staff, but also its labour costs by 88.14% while the performance will remain the same. It can be assumed that this will also have a significant impact on the sustainability of public finances,as the state will suffer a loss of income in the case of personal income tax as well as social/health insurance; the mandatory expenditure may also increase, such as in the case of paying social benefits to the unemployed. In view of the sustainability of public finances, the paper proposes recommendations that could address this negative impact.

Modern approach to the history of financial law development in Russia and abroad
Authors: Eremin S. G.
Published: January 2021

Introduction. Based on a modern approach, the article provides an analysis of regulatory legal acts that have influenced the history of financial law development both in Russia and abroad. Financial law in addition is studied as an independent object of scientific interest both in retrospect and in the context of the statics and dynamics of modern scientific knowledge.

Materials and methods. The article is based on such techniques as: analysis, synthesis, abstraction, generalization, analogy, and others. The methodological basis of the research includes general scientific and special legal methods: systemstructural, method of dogmatic analysis, method of interpretation of legal norms, method of legal and technical construction, comparative legal, formal legal, logical method, etc.

Results. The analysis showed that the formation of financial law, both in Russia and abroad, is related to the emergence of monetary (exchange) operations and the emergence of a state. The sources of financial law that have come down to our days have changed, transformed, and formed new ones. The creation of a new financial system of the state is associated with the implementation of the state’s functions for creating and managing financial resources without delegating the relevant authority to anyone.

Discussion and conclusion. The study showed that the formation of financial law as an Autonomous branch of law was predetermined by the emergence and development of such fundamental elements of economic relations as taxes, budget, money, etc. Social relations that were previously regulated by financial law are gaining new features. This is primarily related to the formation of market relations. This fact should be taken into account when developing new rules in future sources of financial law in order to achieve the most effective impact on public relations
From the name dispute to the Prespa agreement: the relations between Greece and North Macedonia
Authors: Erdoğan S.
Published: January 2021

Introduction: The name dispute dominated the relations between Greece and the Republic of Macedonia approximately three decades. It was coined as one of the world’s chronical unresolved issues. During the long lifespan of the conflict, there were some moments of hope for a solution, as well as disappointments stemming from the rising tension between the parties. Some of these developments bringing a new mentality to the dispute can be labelled as the turning points. In the current state of affairs, the dispute has been going through a new phase since the signature of the Prespa Agreement between Greece and North Macedonia in 2018.

Materials and Methods: The article is providing a historical analysis of the name dispute. The development of the name dispute, from its beginning till its current state of affairs, is analysed under the guidance of the previous studies conducted on the subject and with references to the discourses of the leading political actors.

Results: The name dispute is elaborated by focusing on the key turning points. After the emergence of the conflict, the interim accord of 1995 and 2008 NATO Bucharest meeting and the Prespa Agreement are determined as the turning points of the dispute.

Discussions and Conclusions: The article concludes that it is too early to declare the final end of the name dispute by concentrating on the Prespa Agreement, symbolizing the final consensus between the parties of the dispute. Despite the rising hopes after the Prespa Agreement, the historical lifespan of the name dispute leads us to consider the fact that the willingness of the disputing parties to stay committed to the agreement will be definitive in terms of the future of the relations between Greece and Macedonia.

Mechanizmy przejmowania wyrazów niemieckich w polszczyźnie południowokresowej
Authors: Kostecka-Sadowa Anna
Published: January 2021

The article describes the mechanisms of taking over German words to the conspiracy dialect on the phonetic-flexible and word-forming level. German language borrowings account for a significant percentage of the vocabulary in the conspiracy. Different historical and geographical conditions of the area contributed to this. The mass settlement of Germans in the cities caused the German loans to become more and more numerous and took root unnoticed in the language. The Germanisms presented here show a different degree of dependence on their originals, usually making it difficult, and sometimes impossible, to indicate their sources, which was related to the fact that quite often the source of Polish borrowings were German bustling, environ mental or colloquial expressions.

In the article the author presented the provenance of some expressivisms. He analysed less familiar and forgotten names of breast (bust), vulva (vagina) and male member (penis): i.e.: jabłuszka (‘apples’), bufory (‘buffers’), fujara (‘ninny’), flet (‘flute’), węgorz (‘eel’), mona (from Italian), bilkałe (from Yiddish). Mostly studied words is neo-semantism, less often – borrowings. The author put the analyzed words in the context of linguistic and cultural taboos (he mentioned euphemization and vulgarization). The text is inviting to join a discussion; some observations of the author are provoking to debate. The author presented the etymology of this vocabulary, but he also hypothesized the origin of several lexemes.o w polskich socjolektach.
Hades nie zawsze funeralny – szkic o fortunności nazw podmiotów gospodarczych
Authors: Puda-Blokesz Magdalena
Published: January 2021

The article falls within the chrematonomastic research strand in which a proper name is understood to be a utilitarian message with a pragmatic potential, one that ensues from both statutory requirements and marketing rules. The focus is on the topic of auspicious economic entity names and especially their constituents – lexical units that are supposed to make the name and entity stand out in the market, yet should not be misleading as to what the company’s scope of activity is. The names of firms and premises with the mythological firmonym Hades from various sectors (147 items) from all over Poland, sourced from Panorama Firm, a large business directory, were examined. Quantitatively, the collated material shows that most marketing chrematonyms with this component can be found in the funeral sector, as accounted for by the funeral and thanatological connotations the mythological lexeme evokes by way of its cultural meaning. Much more seldom, name coiners from various sectors (incl. textile, hotel, building, transport, automobile companies) employ the word as well, rendering firmonym-using identification possibly difficult, misleading or nigh on impossible.

FOREIGN LANGUAGES IN ETHNIC MINORITY AREAS OF VIETNAM: ETHNIC MINORITIES’ LANGUAGE ATTITUDES TOWARDS FOREIGN LANGUAGES
Authors: Khang Nguyen Van
Published: January 2021

When speaking of languages in ethnic minority areas of Vietnam, people often refer to ethnic minority languages and Vietnamese. Accordingly, domestic and international linguistics has mainly focused on these languages. However, along with socioeconomic development, ethnic minorities in Vietnam have witnessed significant changes in not only material and spiritual life but also people’s awareness. From the linguistic perspective, one of the most significant changes in ethnic minorities’ awareness is their outlook on foreign languages (this is called "language attitude" in sociolinguistics).
This article is part of our investigations into "the situation of languages used in ethnic minorities of Vietnam". The study has revealed some major ethnic minorities’ language attitudes towards foreign languages, including the needs to know foreign languages, the necessary foreign languages to be known and the reasons for knowing foreign languages. Therefore, the article will, hopefully, make contributions to laying scientific foundations for policy-making on foreign language education in Vietnam, in general and in ethnic minorities, in particular.
VOLOSHINOV’S PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE: SIGNAL, SIGN, LANGUAGE, AND VERBAL INTERACTION
Authors: Lap Ngo Tu
Published: January 2021

In the 1920s, when Saussure's structuralism dominated linguistics around the world, the young Soviet linguist V. N. Voloshinov developed a completely different approach based on his thesis of the semiotic nature of all ideological phenomena. Voloshinov’s ideas become the basis for overcoming structuralism, which is of static and mechanical nature, to form a dynamic and dialectic approach to social phenomena, paving the way for many theories that revolutionize social sciences and humanities in general, linguistics in particular, including pragmatics and discourse theory. In its turn, the theory of discourse and discourse genres lead to new perceptions of literature. These are the points this paper wants to present so as to affirm Voloshinov’s theoretical importance in the afore-mentioned fields.

Self-medication raises its occurrence in many situations in our everyday lives, which is an inappropriate and harmful practice. A research framework was conducted to evaluate the awareness, attitude and practice of self-medication among the CHARUSAT University staff members. Among the staff members, a pre-validated questionnaire was circulated. Using Microsoft Excel, information was gathered and evaluated and the results were represented as numbers and percentages. A total of 136 staff-members voluntarily took part in the study. We found that source of information of the drugs used for self-medication were “previous prescription (77.7%)” and the source of drugs was “medical store (78.8%)”. Only (34.3%) staff-members accepted the fact that they always visited a qualified practitioner whenever they got sick. Most of the staff-members took self-medication for headache (73.5%) followed by cough, cold, sore throat (73.5%) and fever (56.6%). Out of total 136 staff-members, most of them took Analgesics (61.8%) as self-medication followed by lozenges (66.2%). For almost 66.9 % of university staff members, self-medication was common. They provided a reason that “no need to visit a doctor for minor illnesses”. 73.5 % of the population has taken cough and cold preparations as self-medication.

Protein contain is a cornerstone mechanism and form part and parcel of nutritive value in particular rely on season, food intake, breeding and spawning capacity. The protein contain in the fish body constitute as a firsthand source of energy for physiological functions incorporating reproduction. Present investigation display that variations in the protein is observed from the mature fishes of Indian major carps such as Cyprinus carpio comprises 20 to 50cm selected for the estimation of protein study considered as experimental and control fishes upon administration of PGE, ovaprim and ovatide synthetic hormonal doses to the male and female sex ratio separately. Protein in the liver of female major carps may be because of vitellogenin, a lipoprotein which is synthesized in the liver and is transported to the ovary (Wallace, 1985). Moreover, gonadal protein enhanced with maturation amongst these fishes. Protein estimation represents the variations throughout the study period amongst the muscle, gonad and liver. After hormonal injections are given then fishes are kept in the breeding pool at the Fish Seed Production Centres (FSPC) located near Paithan barrage. The protein is estimated upon satisfactory administration of hormonal doses Pituitary Gland Extract and by other two synthetic hormonal doses viz. Ovaprim and Ovatide. Study is conducted during 2013 to 2014.
A Case of Granulomatous Hypersensitivity Reactions to a Dermal Filler Precipitated by PD-1 Checkpoint Inhibitor Therapy

Injection of filler material has become routine in dermatology in improving the appearance of rhytides and increasing skin volume associated with aging.  While the vast majority of injections are accomplished without complications, foreign body reactions may develop in a certain percentage of individuals. We recently encountered a 65-year-old woman with recurrent malignant melanoma who presented with marked thickening along the sides of her face for approximately 2 months. She recently received  nivolumab infusions for recurrent malignant melanoma and noted that symptoms worsened after each infusion. She reported having had cosmetic procedures done three years prior, one of which was an injection of a long-lasting dermal filler, polymethylmethacrylate microsphere enhanced bovine collagen (Bellafill). A biopsy of two areas revealed nodular infiltrates of histiocytes with small round lobules recognizable as polymethylmethacrylate microspheres. Based on clinical and histopathologic findings, a diagnosis of granulomatous dermatitis filler reaction was rendered. Nivolumab is a PD-1 checkpoint inhibitor that disrupts T-cell inhibitory pathways leading to increased immune activation.  In this case, the immune activation triggered a florid granulomatous reaction to the filler the patient had been injected with 3 years previously. We present this case as the second report of this phenomenon and the first in the dermatologic literature. This is a newly recognized side effect of PD-1 checkpoint immunotherapy and patients who are about to initiate such therapy who have had filler injections should be warned about this potential complication.
“They Won’t Let Me Return to Work.” A Carpenter Diagnosed with Porphyria Cutanea Tarda

Published: January 2021

Porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) is characterized by a skin blistering eruption that develops in sun exposed areas of the skin. It is the most common cutaneous porphyria world-wide, and classically associated with hepatic injury but also estrogen use, cigarette smoking, and HIV. In any case of photodistributed persistent blistering skin condition, PCT must be high on the differential. This case of a carpenter diagnosed with PCT not only illustrates a classic case but also the opportunity to achieve significant response to therapy in a motivated patient particularly with improved access to direct-acting antivirals (DAA) for hepatitis C treatment.

Sombart in the Turkish Mirror: A Case of Sabri F. Ülgener
Authors: SERT Mesut
Published: January 2021

In this article the effect of Sombart in Turkish thought will be discussed in two periods; the late Ottoman and the early republican era in the context of Germans and Germany and then specified in the Sabri F. Ülgener case with his research in economic mentality. It will be proposed that Sombart’s effect was limited within the scope of his political writing until Ülgener and his idea on the genesis of capitalism and methodology which was originated from spiritual sciences, are firstly considered with Ülgener.
