SUBJECTIVE SATISFACTION OF MOTHERS WITH PARTNER SUPPORT DURING POSTPARTUM PERIOD
Authors: Banovcinova Lubica , Klabnikova Karolina , Skodova Zuzana
Published: April 2022

Background: The postpartum period is a challenging life experience for a woman, during which the mother has to cope with a new role and the changes that motherhood brings. One of the important factors that can influence the process of adaptation is also sufficient and adequate support from loved ones. One of the main sources of such support is the spouse/partner of the new mother. The main goal of our research was to identify the social support of mothers provided by the partner in the postpartum period and to verify the influence of selected factors on subjective satisfaction with this support.
Methods: The research sample consisted of 179 respondents (from 6 weeks up to 18 months after birth). The mean age of the respondents was 30.97�4.03 years. A questionnaire consisting of two parts was used for data collection: the first contained a self-designed questionnaire focused on basic demographic data, sources of social support, the occurrence of conflicts with the partner and satisfaction with the support from the partner; the second part was the Couples Satisfaction Index � CSI. Descriptive and inductive statistical methods were used.
Results: The main sources of social support in the postpartum were partner (51.4%) and woman�s mother (38,5%). Most mothers were satisfied with social support provided by their partners (87.8%). When analyzing the influence of various factors on subjective satisfaction with partner support, only higher education (p = 0.001), planned pregnancy (p = 0.009) and overall satisfaction with partner life (p=0.001) showed a significant positive correlation. Age, length of relationship and conflicts with the partner did not have a significant effect on the mother's satisfaction with the partner's support.
Conclusions: Social support plays an important role for a woman in the psychosocial adaptation of the mother's role and has a protective effect on a woman from pregnancy to the period after childbirth. A good, supportive relationship can contribute to a better postpartum condition of mothers and newborns, so it is important to focus attention on women's partners, who are the most important and most common source of social support for women.
CAREER AND GENDER: EVALUATION OF FACTORS FOR THE ENTRY AND STAYING OF WOMEN IN THE MILITARY POLICE
Authors: Hazdova Barbora , Nemejc Karel , Urban Kamila
Published: April 2022

The Institute of Education and Communication of the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague focuses on the training of professional counsellors, while also focusing on identifying, analysing and characterizing the educational needs of employers and employees. It also finds suitable ways to obtain a new qualification, to extend, change or innovate an existing qualification, etc. In this context, the authors focus on the profession of a police soldier, being traditionally understood as purely male work. The Military Police of the Czech Republic was established in 1991 and its tasks include, for example, protecting the premises of the Ministry of Defence, supervising compliance with legal regulations or detecting criminal offenses. Women have always been part of the Military Police, however their numbers have been increasing in recent years. The aim of the paper is to reveal the reasons why women choose the profession of a Military Police soldier, and what reasons affect their staying in this profession. The research was carried out using a qualitative method with focus on women working for the Military Police. The method of in-depth interviews at the workplace was used to determine their motivation for choosing this career. The method of thematic analysis was used to evaluate the data. The results reveal the balance of women between entering the Military Police and the Police of the Czech Republic. They favoured the Military Police based on job preferences, education, family influence, hobbies and desire to work for the security forces. The reasons for staying there are financial packet and the possibility of career growth. The results of this present study can be considered as the first to deal with this topic in the context of the Czech Republic. Their contribution may lie primarily in terms of the labour market and the adjustment of personnel policy in the recruitment of new members, especially with regard to the increasingly topical issue of gender balance in the organizational structure. The indicators can be used to modify the conditions of service performance and benefits for a more equal interest of applicants for job positions, but also for the process of making these professions more attractive.
EXCURSUS INTO THE HISTORY OF SOLFEGE AND ITS EXPERIMENTAL APPLICATION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MUSICAL ABILITIES IN PRIMARY / SECONDARY EDUCATION
Authors: Strenacikova Maria , Strmenova Dagmar
Published: April 2022

In our paper, we discuss the potential of Solfege as a means for the development of music literacy and musical abilities in pupils of primary and secondary schools. The aim of this study is to explore Solfege, to bring its brief historical introduction and to investigate its benefits in the experiment with extended music education.
The main method used for obtaining the information was the document analysis, and statistical analysis of the data gained in 1997, during the 10th year of an experiment aimed at increasing the number of music lessons at selected primary and secondary schools in Slovakia. A standardized musical aptitude test by Arnold Bentley was applied to evaluate musical abilities of pupils. The data analysis showed that after the extended music education, the musical abilities improved in the experimental group, when compared to the control group. The basis of music education was among other methods: acquiring Solfege with phonogestics (hand signs), following the Hungarian school model and the model by Zoltan Kodaly, learning to play music instruments, participating in various music projects and cooperating with the primary art schools.
Although the experiment aimed at extended music education has ended, the data have documented that this concept has contributed to improving musical abilities in children, and we therefore consider it inspiring to re-verify its effectiveness (including the use of Solfege and hand signs) after more than 20 years. However, for its application in the current school, it would be necessary that it reflect the requirements of the young generation; for example, to enable pupils to complete the Solfege exercises using an Internet application, or to transfer some activities to the online environment.
QUALITY ASSURANCE IN HIGHER EDUCATION: THE CASE STUDY OF CZECH REPUBLIC
Authors: Reznakova Maria , Putnova Anna , Krizov� Zuzana , Videcka Zdenka
Published: April 2022

Quality assurance of teaching and learning is among the strategic goals of tertiary education. The key trend is towards comparable educational systems (achieved mainly by defining the teaching results) with improved permeability allowing for higher student mobility and better preparedness for jobs in a globalised economy. A great challenge of tertiary education is linking the research outcomes with degree programmes, which results in the graduates coping better with the real practical problems. The protracted accreditation procedures in the Czech Republic have led to a reform of this process. A new Accreditation Office has been established with quality assurance delegated directly to the universities.
The present paper presents the impacts of changes in the quality assurance of the Czech tertiary education using Brno University of Technology (BUT) as an example. BUT is a leading technical university in the Czech Republic. The methods used for writing it include analysis of trends, benchmarking, and synthesis. Based on the outcomes of the research, it may be concluded that the currently set system of quality evaluation at the universities improves the university management. The paper also shows the challenges faced by a university while switching over to internal quality evaluation.
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL � ACTIVE LEARNING DURING THE CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC
Authors: Stoica Silvana Diana
Published: April 2022

Teachers should be proud of their students for their resilience, patience, and successes during this unique challenging learning environment. Teaching quality varied substantially and adaptations for remote learning were inconsistent. There were different forms of inequality in access and opportunity for students of disadvantaged and/or marginalized groups (e.g. internet connectivity, parent support, different time zones).
How could this context influence the proportion of students who could be classified as underprepared for virtual education?
There have been increased disparities or disproportionate learning loss for disadvantaged or marginalized groups. Take the example of my students who come from Africa and did not have a laptop with them while living in the campus. At first, they complained it was very hard for them to get familiar to the platform we used for teaching.
Education technology may be a key resource in addressing a potential influx of under prepared first-year college and university students with a wider range of academic ability.
In this particular context of international students enrolled in the program for learning Romanian as a Foreign Language, it is evident that all teachers wanted to be the best for their students only to end up frustrated and exhausted at the end of the day. I often felt that I was more concerned for their success than they did and, when I was discussing with them, they could not understand why I was so worried about their progress. Handing in projects or assignments was more of a begging process and I did not understand where I went wrong and why it was so hard for them to realize the importance of timely submitting a project. I was constantly making exceptions and this made me unable to adhere to course policies.
USE OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNING AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE NORTH-WEST REGION OF ROMANIA
Authors: Ardelean Timea , Veres Edit
Published: April 2022

Learning and teaching foreign languages at all ages has played a very important role in people's lives. For centuries, different methods have been used to learn and teach languages, always with the tools available at that time, in school settings or even during private lessons. In the twenty-first century, with the spread and popularity of the Internet, digital language learning broke into a virtual learning environment. Learning more foreign languages has become increasingly important. Learning materials can be easily achieved and communication with peers and instructors make learning easier. Nowadays it is possible to learn a language on the mobile phone, which opens new perspectives on language learning, especially among the generation Z, who love using their mobile phones. Due to the situation caused by the COVID-19 coronavirus the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) tools in everyday learning and teaching has become a necessity in formal and informal education. The present study intends to address this issue, especially the use of ICT tools in English language learning among high school students in the North-West region of Romania. The research was based on a questionnaire completed by 244 students. Descriptive statistics were used and the results show that students are positive about learning English with ICT tools or using them in English, but more in the field of informal learning. There is a need to receive guidance from teachers so that students can take advantage of these tools in formal learning as well.
REDUCING THE SCALE OF DIGITAL EXCLUSION FOR OLDER ADULTS AS AN EXAMPLE OF DIGITAL ADAPTION
Authors: Veinberg Sandra
Published: April 2022

Digitalisation was introduced very rapidly into the daily lives of Northern Europeans and, therefore, this process brought with it significant change to many daily spheres and routines for the country�s population. Nordic countries (including Baltic countries) often top the rankings in terms of innovation and digitalisation, positioning themselves as the digital leaders of Europe. The Baltic region is emerging as Europe�s innovation hub. It is not always easy for senior citizens to adapt to these changes. Modern equipment and applications often complicate rather than ease their lives. Those studies that have been carried out so far have shown that the problem generates financial exclusion which, in its classic sense, means that there are people who have no access to financial goods or services that would match their needs. Our study evidenced the fact that there is still some degree of nostalgia amongst seniors with respect to printed media. However, their attachment to �tangible money� is much greater that is the need to hold a �rustling newspaper� in one�s hands. The digital media climate has forced pensioners to adapt to new forms of media communication which take place via the use of a screen.

Published: April 2022

The range of objects and phenomena of Ukrainian tourism in the context of international tourism has been highlighted, which is one of the important business components in informing society and opens opportunities to solve management problems � to implement its functions: social (health, humanitarian, spiritual), and business-professional (concluding agreements, solving strategic partnership tasks, etc.). For this purpose, international tourism legislation is developed and implemented, the exchange of information is provided, and common specialists training in tourism are organized, including environmental tourism.
Based on recreational and tourist potential the close connection prospects of domestic and international tourism have been outlined, their features have been considered, inseparable communications, multilateral agreements on cooperation in the tourism field between the countries have been noted. The geography of recreational and tourist potential in the world tourist space, which is divided into five large tourist macro-regions have been analyzed. According to an "International Tourist Arrivals" index, Ukraine has variable dynamics � in 2010, 21,203 tourists have arrived here, and in 2017 have been visited by 14,229 tourists. Such fluctuations are explained by economic instability, and most of all the political situation in it (the Russo-Ukrainian war in the Donbas and annexation of Crimea). During an international arrivals analysis in Ukraine, we observe an expansion in geography countries: in 2010 Ukraine have visited tourists from 117 countries, and in 2017 � from 127 ones. First of all, it is such neighbouring countries, as Moldova, Belarus, Poland, Slovakia and the United States, Turkey, Israel, Germany, France. Europe holds the lead in the number of international tourist arrivals.
Various resources in Ukraine have been briefly analyzed, such as climatic, balneological, water, forest, springs and wells of mineral waters, national natural parks, medical peloids (mud), beach resources, the richness of karst caves, historical (fortifications), architectural monuments, religious buildings (monuments associated with the Black Sea coast colonization, Crimea, as well as the Middle Ages and the Ukrainian Baroque, etc.).
OPERATIONAL RISKS MANAGEMENT IN HOSPITAL FACILITIES OF THE CZECH REPUBLIC
Authors: Heinzova Romana , Hoke Eva
Published: April 2022

The issue of risks in health care is closely related to the quality of health care provided and the area of safety for all those who participate in providing this care in any way. In healthcare facilities and other organizations in the public and private sectors, risk management is an integral part of management processes. It is gaining in importance, especially in connection with ensuring the safety of patients, which, together with the quality of treatment, is becoming the primary task of the management of individual medical facilities. The primary research carried out by the author's team in 2020 showed significant shortcomings in the implemented risk management tools in hospitals in the Czech Republic. The situation was not so serious yet. For more than a year, the Czech Republic and the whole world have been fighting the COVID-19 pandemic. It pointed out several weaknesses in managing healthcare organizations' operations and the inadequacy in managing the risks themselves. Therefore, the article focuses on the operational risks of healthcare organizations, the level of risk management, and possible scenarios for their solution. The authors focused on selected hospitals in the Czech Republic, and risk analysis methods of the risk matrix type are used to identify and evaluate risks. Attention will also be focused on personnel risks, as the lack of medical and non-medical staff fundamentally cripples the operation of hospitals. Data for processing were obtained by personal and telephone interviews with the leaders of these institutions.
ANIMAL PROTECTION IN ITALY: THE CRIMINAL LAW PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Galli Elisabetta
Published: April 2022

In Italy we are witnessing a positive development in the protection of animals that involves more than just criminal law. It has just been announced (at the end of June) that the Senate of the Republic has expressed itself in favour of amending and supplementing the text of an article in the Constitution - a fundamental rule of Italian law - which would recognise the protection of animals.
Furthermore, the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union protects animals as �sentient beings� and this is a fundamental recognition at supranational level as it emphasises their welfare.
In Italy, focusing on the criminal aspect of protection, it is possible to observe a reinforcement of the same. In particular, a section has been added to the Italian Criminal Code under the heading �Crimes against the sentiment for animals� with articles punishing the killing of animals, animal abuse and prohibited shows or events as well as the promotion, organisation or management of unauthorised animal fighting or competitions.
This contribution is intended to focus mainly on the criminal aspects of animal protection, which, however, as we have seen, must necessarily be placed within the fundamental principles of a legal system.
Also in light of a number of rulings of the Supreme Court of Cassation, which have adopted important positions on the subject, the question will be asked whether the current legal-criminal system could be further strengthened.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE IRREGULAR MIGRATION AND CRIMINAL LAW IN HUNGARY
Authors: Bartko Robert
Published: April 2022

In 2015, the irregular migratory flow marked a beginning of a new era in the history of the European migration. In many European countries, including in Hungary, the public opinion related to this phenomenon has forced the legislators to take the necessary measures against it. In Hungary, among others, the criminal law was also in focus. The first step was the construction of the physical border fence, and as a second stage, the Hungarian Parliament adopted a legal framework on its protection. In accordance with this step, new crimes - and in connection with them - a new special criminal procedure inserted into the Hungarian Criminal Code and into the Hungarian Act on Criminal Procedure, which entered into force in 15 September 2015. The crimes mentioned were the following: unlawful crossing the border barrier, damaging the border barrier and the obstruction on construction work of the border barrier. According to the relevant official statistical data the number of crimes against the border barrier decreased significantly for the past few years. Therefore the aim of the paper � after the presentment of the Hungarian legal background - is to examine the mentioned criminal legal amendments, and to make conclusions based on the criminal statistical data published by the Hungarian authorities.
AESTHETIC AND MORAL EMOTIONS AS REASONS FOR SELF-HARM
Authors: D�muth Andrej , Demuthova Slavka
Published: April 2022

Self-harm is a frequent and very problematic behavior that expresses the adolescent's specific relationship to himself and especially to his/her body. The present study focuses on the ambivalent relationship between art and self-harm. The subject of the research is the analysis of selected factors of illustration and artistic expression of self-harm in society (especially in art or on social networks) and their influence on the growth of selfharm, especially in the young generation. We present psychological concepts that from different perspectives explain the phenomenon of self-harm (e.g., psychodynamic, cognitivist, biological concepts), while we focus mainly on those circumstances that lead to the motivation of individuals to execute self-harm and come from the field of moral/social action. The core of the study is to clarify the relationship between aesthetic and moral emotions and self-harm in young people with an emphasis on specific aesthetic and artistic components. The paper considers selected reasons for the aesthetic appeal of (self-) suffering and focuses on the visual rhetoric of bodily self-harm as a means to make the inner world of the individual visible. On the other hand, the study also presents the potential benefits of art in the treatment of self-harm and its consequences in the form of camouflage tattoos, or artistic reflection of the Japanese Kintsugi ideal, which help individuals to process and cope with negative and visible consequences of their actions.
EXTENDED METHOD OF RESTORATION RETOUCHING IN THE NEARINFRARED SPECTRUM
Authors: Corda Dijana Nazor , Grsic Jana Ziljak
Published: April 2022

The overpainted layers reveal the artist�s working process, the way he created his work in different phases until the final painting. Photographing paintings in near-infrared spectrum (NIR/IR reflectography) also provides protection against counterfeit art paintings. This paper investigates the intrinsic properties of colorant twins based on the InfraredArt theory, which expands the knowledge about the light absorption response in the visual (V) and near-infrared spectrum (NIR). The key support for the establishment of such paper is in the infrared procedure which explores new possibilities of restorative retouching based on the interrogation of pigment (color) and determination of its Z value. An extended method of restorative retouching is being studied that can equalize the reflection and/or intentionally make it different in the visible also in the near IR spectrum. This can be one of the retouching methods of restoring to the original state, not only the painting visible to the naked eye but also the overpainting or underpainting drawing, thus obtaining a new method in the final stage of retouching. This method of retouching can be applied to damaged artistically significant and historically important paintings that have interesting copies in the genesis of the painting that are visible under IR light. In addition, the method is also applicable to contemporary InfraredArt paintings that conceal a hidden painting, i.e. which artists have intentionally painted in the lower layer with the intention of being detected and observed by an IR camera. For the study a ZRGB camera was used, that simultaneously records in two spectra, visible and near-infrared areas. Two paintings from two Zagreb museums were conserved and restored in such a way that they confirm the established theses on targeted visible and invisible retouching.
THE POSTAGE STAMP, A SMALL WORK OF ART, MADE BY USING THE INFRAREDESIGN� METHOD, HIDES EXTENDED INFORMATION ABOUT THE CONTENT OF ITS ISSUE
Authors: Grsic Jana Ziljak , Golubic Lidija Tepes
Published: April 2022

A postage stamp is a security that goes down in history. The stamp we are presenting was designed and issued in Croatia, EU, on 24 September 2021, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Otorhinolaryngology Clinic in Croatia. This stamp contains new values through IRD, and that is exactly what we show and offer to philatelists. The stamp "100 years of otorhinolaryngology" has artistic beauty and scientific innovation in the development of twin colorants. In the visual solution of the stamp are embedded hidden graphics that expand the information about the anniversary.
Two images are demonstrated in the same space of the stamp, which gives an advantage because it increases the space for communication of a small graphic art product that is printed and multiplied with the IRD procedure. It is a novelty in messaging that is essential in stamp design, with an emphasis on its security features. The stamp has two levels of viewing, for two light areas. The level that is not visible to our naked eye contains data that hides the author�s mark, the printer�s mark, and the institution that bears copyright.
The discovery and development of the new INFRAREDESIGN� method offered new experiences in design documents and securities. IRD is an extension of the technology of making and protecting the stamp from counterfeiting because the visible image of the stamp is closely connected to the infrared image. Two images are printed in the same place: a visible image for the naked eye and another image that is recognizable by an infrared detector. The two graphics are inseparable and are widely used in the areas of proving the authenticity of a work of art.
THE EFFECT OF (CLASSICAL) MUSIC ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR. A CASE STUDY OF CLOTHES SHOP
Authors: Makomaska Sylwia , Potanska-Milewska Teresa
Published: April 2022

Nowadays music has become an inseparable element of modern audiomarketing strategies. It is intentionally introduced into commercial spaces to influence consumer behaviour by triggering appropriate physiological, affective and cognitive responses. In order to determine the possible selected dependencies, experimental studies were carried out in natural conditions in one of the chain clothing stores located in a shopping mall in Warsaw, where an audiomarketing strategy is implemented on a daily basis. Three situations were examined: without music, with instrumental classical music and with vocal-instrumental popular music. The research was conducted for three days, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m., in a system of floating modules, so as to take into account the different traffic of customers at specific times. Due to the specificity of the brand perceived as a family store with an assortment intended for children, women and men of all ages, the obtained results were analysed together (N = 246). The following aspects were measured: the number of people who entered the store in a given module, the number of people who made purchases, the structure of purchases and the value of purchases (total and average). The results showed that the largest percentage of consumers decided to buy during the condition with popular music (day I � 58%, day II � 67%, day III � 68%). However, in total, the store achieved the highest profits when classical music sounded. At that time, consumers decided to choose higher-priced and "high-end" items. The obtained results are discussed in the context of the psychological knowledge activation effect, the psychobiological theory of musical preference and the hierarchical model of musical semantics. The overall discourse leads to the ethical doubts regarding the deliberate introduction of peripheral auditory stimuli into commercial spaces.

Published: April 2022

Objetivo: determinar la relación entre la calidad de vida y la inteligencia emocional en estudiantes que realizan prácticas pre-profesionales de una universidad de Lima Norte. Materiales y métodos: el estudio corresponde al tipo correlacional de corte transversal. La población estuvo conformada por 100 practicantes que cursaron el 5to año de estudio. Los instrumentos que se utilizaron fueron la Escala de Calidad de Vida de Olson & Barnes, el Inventario de Cociente Emocional de ICE-BarOn y una ficha de datos sociodemográficos. Para el análisis estadístico se empleó el programa Stata 14 y se utilizaron las pruebas de Chi-Cuadrado, Kruskal Wallis y ANOVA, y para la prueba de normalidad se empleó ShapiroWilk. Resultados: la calidad de vida no se relaciona con la inteligencia emocional (p=0.585). Por otro lado, se evidenció relación entre la calidad de vida general y algunos componentes de la inteligencia emocional: manejo del estrés (p=0.049), estado de ánimo general (p=0.040). Además, se halló relación entre la inteligencia emocional e ingreso económico (p=0.000) y horas de sueño (p=0.025). Conclusión: la calidad de vida del interno se enfoca en un estado de satisfacción que varía de acuerdo con las condiciones internas y/o externas del ambiente cotidiano. En este sentido, la baja capacidad del estudiante para percibir y afrontar de manera adecuada aquellas situaciones difíciles a las que está expuesto a nivel social, académico, familiar y socioeconómico impacta en el nivel de coeficiente de IE.

Objetivo: determinar el efecto del consumo de la bebida de la semilla de lino (Linum usitatissimum) sobre la hipoalbuminemia leve y moderada de los pacientes con tuberculosis pulmonar hospitalizados en el Hospital Cayetano Heredia, Lima. Materiales y métodos: se inició la evaluación con los análisis de albumina sérica a los pacientes con tuberculosis pulmonar hospitalizados en el Centro de Excelencia (CENEX), del Hospital Cayetano Heredia, con el total de la población de 11 pacientes. El consumo de la bebida de la semilla de lino fue por 20 días. Luego, se realizó nuevamente la evaluación de los análisis de albumina sérica y se compararon los valores. Resultados: la mayoría de los participantes presentó tuberculosis pulmonar sensible (81.8%). Al inicio los niveles de albúmina y proteínas basales tenían valores similares. Finalmente, al comparar los niveles de proteínas séricas y albúmina antes, después de haber recibido la linaza se observó en el grupo que había recibido 800ml de linaza un incremento del 6.2 a 7.7 y de 2.2 a 3.6, respectivamente. Esta diferencia fue estadísticamente significativa (p=0.035 y p=0.034). En el grupo que recibió linaza 400ml o 600ml se observó también un incremento en la albúmina de 2.9 a 3.3. Sin embargo, esta diferencia no fue estadísticamente significativa. Conclusión: los resultados señalan un efecto positivo del consumo de la bebida de la semilla de lino en la hipoalbuminemia leve y moderada en los pacientes hospitalizados con tuberculosis pulmonar.
CHARACTERISTICS OF SKIN DIELECTRIC PROPERTIES IN PREGNANCY (EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
Authors: Martusevich Andrew , Kishoyan Kristina , Surovegina Alexandra , Golygina Elena , Bocharin Ivan , Nazarov Vladimir
Published: April 2022

The purpose of our study was to evaluate the dielectric characteristics of the skin that occur during pregnancy in an experiment. The study included 60 Wistar rats, 30 of which were pregnant (in the 3rd trimester; parturition took place 2–3 days after the study). Once, on a pre-epilated area of the skin of the back, the dielectric properties were studied using the method of near-field resonant microwave sensing. The diagnostic software and hardware complex for microwave sensing allows calculating the level of dielectric permittivity of the medium and conductivity based on the shift of the resonant frequency. Based on the conducted studies, it was found that the integumentary tissues of pregnant rats have a significantly higher level of dielectric permittivity and conductivity compared to non-pregnant animals. Such shifts are caused by the formation of edematous syndrome associated with pregnancy, and predispose to the development of postpartum skin changes.

Published: April 2022

Aims: To compare the structure of the formula and morphological characteristics of the blood cells after an acute experiment in laboratory rats with oral administration of sodium selenite at a concentration of selenium (Se) 0.5, 1 and 2 maximum permissible concentration (MPC). Methods: Four groups of Wistar rats weighing 260–300 g (a control group and three experimental ones: Se group of 0.5 MPC, 1 MPC and 2 MPC) were given sodium selenite in the respective concentrations for 5 days (except for the control group). After the rats were removed from the experiment, blood was taken from the caudal artery and a biochemical blood test was performed and the data obtained were evaluated and compared with the norm. Results: Changes in the cell composition of rat blood were determined by the dose of selenium. There were no changes in the "Se 0.5 MPC" group compared to the control group. In the Se 1 MPC group, the main difference was a decrease in the number and morphological changes in red blood cells, as well as an increase in the number of eosinophils. Hypochromic anemia and lymphocytopenia were found in the Se 2 MPC group. Conclusion: During an acute experiment, when selenium is given to rats at a dosage equal to the maximum permissible concentration and more, changes in the blood formula are observed, reflecting the pathological processes related to selenium poisoning: anemia, eosinophilia, lymphocytopenia.

Dilemas éticos del diagnóstico genético prenatal no invasivo, utilizando la tecnología de ADN fetal libre en células: una valoración de los primeros diez años, desde su introducción en la práctica médica
Authors: Gallo Pasquale
Published: April 2022

Antecedentes: En 2011 se introdujo en la práctica clínica la prueba de cribado no invasiva, basada en el análisis de ADN fetal libre en células (cf-ADN) en sangre de gestantes, revolucionado rápidamente el mundo del Diagnóstico Genético Prenatal (DGP). Método: Se ha realizado una búsqueda bibliográfica para identificar los artículos publicados desde la introducción de esta prueba centrada en el cf-ADN y en las cuestiones éticas asociadas a ella. Resultados: Se encontraron 26 artículos. Las principales cuestiones éticas destacadas fueron: implicaciones para el consentimiento informado, aumento de la tasa de abortos, preocupación por la divulgación de hallazgos secundarios incidentales y prácticas discriminatorias para personas con enfermedades congénitas y discapacidad.  Conclusión: Los tests cf-ADN deberían estar limitados a los casos estrictamente necesarios. Debe respetarse el derecho a tomar decisiones individuales, aunque sigue siendo más importante prevenir la discriminación, respetar la dignidad humana y evitar la difusión de una mentalidad eugenésica.

Sixth generation (6G) internet of things (IoT) networks will modernize the applications and satisfy user demands through implementing smart and automated systems. Intelligence-based infrastructure, also called reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (RISs), have been introduced as a potential technology striving to improve system performance in terms of data rate, latency, reliability, availability, and connectivity. A huge amount of cost-effective passive components are included in RISs to interact with the impinging electromagnetic waves in a smart way. However, there are still some challenges in RIS system, such as finding the optimal configurations for a large number of RIS components. In this paper, we first provide a complete outline of the advancement of RISs along with machine learning (ML) algorithms and overview the working regulations as well as spectrum allocation in intelligent IoT systems. Also, we discuss the integration of different ML techniques in the context of RIS, including deep reinforcement learning (DRL), federated learning (FL), and FL-deep deterministic policy gradient (FL-DDPG) techniques which are utilized to design the radio propagation atmosphere without using pilot signals or channel state information (CSI). Additionally, in dynamic intelligent IoT networks, the application of existing integrated ML solutions to technical issues like user movement and random variations of wireless channels are surveyed. Finally, we present the main challenges and future directions in integrating RISs and other prominent methods to be applied in upcoming IoT networks.
Buildings’ energy performance, green attributes and real estate prices: methodological perspectives from the European literature
Authors: Fregonara Elena , Rubino Irene
Published: April 2022

Buildings’ energy efficiency may affect real estate prices, but the literature suggests that the effects of green attributes and Energy Performance Certificate ratings on the value of residential properties in Europe are still variable across contexts. The adoption of methods able to appropriately investigate this issue is thus essential. In this framework and to support future studies, this paper offers a methodological review of scientific works on the topic published in the last five years. Our work does not only represent an update of other reviews, but it originally analyses the papers by a methodological viewpoint. Results highlight a progressive refinement of the research questions and methods adopted. Then, the increasing importance of concepts such as latent variables and green attributes in the real estate pricing process is detected and identified as a field to be furtherly explored. Finally, Structural Equation Modelling is proposed as a promising approach for future studies.

Published: April 2022

In recent years the bio-districts have been considerably spread in Italy. The bio-district can be defined as a locally rooted multifunctional project with the involvement of farms and institutions. Our research aims at assessing potential relations between territorial, socio-economic features and the presence of bio-districts in an area, by means of a logit regression analysis at municipal scale in Italy. Data have been collected from several sources, among which ISTAT digital databases. Main results show as farms with diversification activities and the presence of Local Action Groups are factors related to the rising of bio-districts in a territory. Moreover, the study highlights the role of bio-districts in disadvantageous and mountain areas, in developing effective territorial governance. In terms of policy implication, CAP 2023-2027 can constitute the ideal bench for testing bio-districts function playing a crucial role in reaching the objective set by the Farm to Fork strategy.

Introduction: India has a sizeable child population. The 2011 census in the first one in many decades which counted less absolute number of children in the 0-6 years age group compared to 2001 census count of 164 million children, there were 159 million children in 2011. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the rural field practice area of Katihar Medical College situated around 5 km away from Katihar. A total of 600 under six children were approached for conducting the present study, of which 592 were interviewed and selected for the study. Results: Out of 592 children 216 (36.4%) children were exclusively breast feed. Further it was observed that majority i.e. 137 (63.43%) of the children were normal in whom exclusive breast feeding was practiced. It was observed that out of the 548 fully immunized for age children a maximum i.e. 288 (52.55%) were normal. Maximum i.e. 11 (73.33 %) of the unimmunized children were under nutrition. Majority of the children were less than 24 months of age, number of female children were slightly higher than male children. Majority of the children were Muslims followed by Hindus and only one child was Christian. Maximum number of children belonged to class IV followed by class III socio-economic class, according to modified Kuppuswamy classification. Discussion: According to occupation of the father and nutritional status. Majority of the fathers were involved in unskilled occupation or semiskilled occupation i.e. 356 (60.13%). Unemployed fathers had a higher proportion of under nutrition children 7(58.33%), followed by fathers involved in unskilled /semiskilled work 183(51.4%). Fathers involved in semi-professional/professional occupation had maximum proportion of normal children 7(77.78%). Conclusion: Majority of the children belonged to nuclear type of family. The literacy percentage was slightly higher in fathers than in mothers. Majority of fathers were labourers followed by clerical work or owned .....

Introduction: Stroke is a leading cause of death and long-term disability worldwide. Of the total number of prevalent strokes, more than 80% are ischemic. Atherosclerosis being an inflammatory condition is associated with raised serum level of CRP. Hence the possible role of serum CRP in pathogenesis of AIS is being studied. Many studies support that serum CRP is a marker of stroke severity and prognosis. Materials and Methods: The observational and prospective study was carried out at Department of Neurology, Sheikh Sayera Khatun Medical College, Gopalganj, Bangladesh from January to December-2020.The present study ‘Serum C-reactive protein in Acute Ischemic stroke and its impact on stroke severity and prognosis. Total 51 neuroimaging confirmed cases of AIS were selected randomly for this non- interventional prospective study. Serum CRP was measured in all patients and NIHSSS was used for assessing stroke severity. Results: The mean CRP level was 21.93±3.60 mg/l and only 18% of cases were having normal CRP level. 60% of cases were having serum CRP level in the range of 3-30mg/L and 18% were having even the higher level. Age of the patient significantly correlated with the CRP level (r=0.294 at p-0.05) but the sex didn’t affect the rise in CRP (p= 0.490). Serum CRP level was affecting the stroke severity significantly (r=0.643, p-0.000).The mean CRP level in discharged patients was 10.51 ± 13.21 mg/l whereas it was 44.11 ± 29.7 mg/l in those who died in the hospital. Thus CRP level affected mortality of acute ischemic stroke significantly. (p-0.00). Conclusion: CRP is raised in most of the patients of acute ischemic stroke and its elevation reveals the underlying inflammation causing atherosclerosis as well as CRP as a marker of brain injury. Serum C-reactive protein elevation is associated with more severe stroke and poor prognosis.
