Species and habitats are the subjects of legislation that mandates reporting of information on ecosystem conditions. Improvements in sensors, sampling platforms, information systems, and collaborations among experts and information users now enables more effective and up-to-date information to meet regional and national needs. Specifically, advances in environmental DNA (eDNA)-based assessments of biodiversity, community science data, various underwater imaging devices, and environmental, behavioral, and physiology observations from animal telemetry provide new opportunities to address multiple requirements for reporting status and trends, including insights into life in the deep ocean. Passive and active acoustic sensors help monitor marine life, boat traffic, and noise pollution. Satellites provide repeated, frequent, and long-term records of many relevant variables from global to local scales and, when combined with numerical computer simulations, allow planning for future scenarios. Metadata standards facilitate the transfer of data from machine to machine, thus streamlining assessments and forecasting and providing knowledge directly to the public. The Marine Biodiversity Observation Network (MBON) facilitates this exchange of information on life in the sea. The collaborative efforts of the Central and Northern California Ocean Observing System (CeNCOOS) of the US Integrated Ocean Observing System and its partners provide an example of a regional MBON process for information delivery. This includes linking policy and management needs, prioritizing observing data from various platforms and methods, streamlining data handling practices, and delivery of information for management such as for the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary and the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem, with iterative process adaptation.
Utopien bedingter Solidarität

Published: November 2021

Die Zahl der Publikationen zum Thema Pflege hat im Verlauf der letzten Jahrzehnte stetig zugenommen. Gesetzliche Bestimmungen wurden erweitert, neue, wie das Pflegezeitgesetz, das Pflegestärkungsgesetz und das Angehörigenentlastungsgesetz eingeführt, die gesamte Pflegeausbildung mit dem Pflegeberufegesetz reformiert. Und über allem steht die Frage, wie in einer alternden Gesellschaft der erhöhte Pflegebedarf menschenwürdig und sozial gerecht organisiert werden kann.
Wider der Verantwortungslosigkeit – Überlegungen zu Care und Gerechtigkeit
Authors: Schmitt Sabrina
Published: November 2021

Care-bezogene Gerechtigkeitsfragen müssen vor allem auf der gesamtgesellschaftlichen Ebene gedacht werden. Der vorliegende Beitrag geht vor dem Hintergrund der Arbeiten von Joan Tronto der Frage nach, welche Dynamiken auf die gesamtgesellschaftliche Verteilung von Care-Arbeit wirken und wie erste Schritte hin zu einer kollektiv geteilten Verantwortung für diese Arbeit aussehen könnten.
Sachgerecht: Integrierte Politiklösungen
Authors: Hummel Konrad
Published: November 2021

Immer mehr Herausforderungen in der Politik entziehen sich einem Ressort und einer isolierten fachlichen Lösung. Die Herausforderungen des demografischen Wandels, des Klimawandels, der interkulturellen Integration, der abgehängten Stadtquartiere oder der Digitalisierung sind keine Fragen eines einzigen Fachressorts. Schon allein deshalb sprengen sie eine jahrzehntelange Verwaltungsentwicklung, geprägt von einer arbeitsteiligen Organisation in Fachressorts und dem Optimierungsversuch in Richtung einer »Dienstleistungskommune«.

Europäisches Verwaltungsrecht – Das Impfstoffzulassungsverfahren der Europäischen Union
Authors: Brügmann Jonas
Published: November 2021

Aufgrund der Covid-19-Pandemie hat das Verfahren zur Zulassung von Impfstoffen auf Ebene der Europäischen Union als besonderes Verwaltungsverfahren große öffentliche Aufmerksamkeit erfahren. Dieses Verfahren muss verschiedene Gesichtspunkte des Gesundheitsschutzes in einen Ausgleich bringen, nämlich vornehmlich die Dringlichkeit des Inverkehrbringens von Impfstoffen und Risiken von Nebenwirkungen durch verfrühte Zulassungen. Bemerkenswert ist außerdem, dass auf der Ebene der Europäischen Union zur Impfstoffzulassung Einrichtungen und Verfahren geschaffen wurden, die national vorhandene Ressourcen nutzen und bündeln. Es sollen daher die Grundzüge des Verwaltungsverfahrens zur Zulassung von Impfstoffen durch die Europäische Union einschließlich der Besonderheiten im Rahmen der Covid-19-Pandemie dargestellt werden.
Neue Entwicklungen des pluralen Grundrechtsschutzes im europäischen Mehrebenensystem? – Anmerkung zum Urteil des EuGH (GK) v. 17.12.2020, Rs. C-336/19 (Centraal Israëlitisch Consistorie van België)
Authors: Wedemeyer Sven
Published: November 2021

Das Urteil in der Rechtssache C-336/19 (Centraal Israëlitisch Consistorie van België) steht für einen Beitrag des Gerichtshofs, das Verhältnis der Grundrechtecharta zu den Grundrechtsregimen der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention und die der mitgliedstaatlichen Rechtsordnungen zu definieren. Den rechtsdogmatischen Hebel bildet die erstmalige Heranziehung der margin of appreciation- und living instrument-Doktrine des EGMR. Dieser Beitrag nimmt dabei das Verhältnis der Grundrechtecharta zu den Grundrechtsregimen der mitgliedstaatlichen Verfassungen in den Blick und ordnet das vorliegende Urteil paradigmatisch in den bisherigen Gerichtsdialog zwischen Luxemburg und Karlsruhe ein. Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, Indizien offenzulegen, die auf eine womöglich weitreichende Annährung der bisher antinomischen Rechtsprechungslinien hindeuten.
Auf dem Weg in die postfaktische Politik?
Authors: Hoffjann Olaf , Seeber Lucas
Published: November 2021

Die Erfolge von Politikern wie Donald Trump und Boris Johnson sowie von Parteien wie der AfD haben dazu geführt, dass mit Begriffen wie Desinformation, dem so genannten Bullshit oder Post-Truth Politics bzw. postfaktischer Politik bewusste Verstöße gegen die Wahrheitsnorm bzw. eine wachsende Irrelevanz von Wahrheit in der strategischen politischen Kommunikation intensiv diskutiert werden. Im Mittelpunkt dieses Beitrags steht die erweiterte Perspektive postfaktischer Politik, die in Deutschland empirisch bislang kaum erforscht ist. Für die Existenz einer solchen postfaktischen Politik ist vor allem die Unterstellung derselben relevant. Der reflexive Charakter postfaktischer Politik impliziert, dass man nicht nur selbst postfaktische Politik unterstellt, sondern auch anderen unterstellt, dass sie von einer solchen postfaktischen Politik ausgehen. Dabei kann zwischen zwei Typen unterschieden werden: „Postfaktische Bürgerinnen“ unterstellen Politikerinnen eine weitgehende Gleichgültigkeit gegenüber der Wahrheit. „Postfaktische Akteurinnen“ erachten einen solchen gleichgültigen Umgang mit der Wahrheit für legitim. Diese Aspekte stehen im Mittelpunkt dieses Beitrags: Wie bewerten Politikerinnen, Pressesprecherinnen und Journalistinnen die Verbreitung und Akzeptanz von Lügen und Bullshit in Deutschland? In welchem Ausmaß nehmen sie sich selbst als Teil einer postfaktischen Politik wahr? Und ergänzend: Wie reagieren Journalistinnen auf Politikerinnen, denen sie eine fehlende Relevanz der Wahrheit unterstellen. Dazu wurden in einer Onlinebefragung insgesamt 758 Abgeordnete des Bundestages und aller Landtage, der Mitglieder der Bundespressekonferenz und aller Landespressekonferenzen sowie Pressesprecherinnen von Parteien, Fraktionen und Ministerien auf Bundes- und Landesebene befragt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen u. a., dass etwas mehr als die Hälfte der Befragten sich in einer postfaktischen Demokratie wähnt, während mehr als 90 Prozent der Befragten eine Politik erwarten, die ernsthaft, verbindlich und mit Wahrheitsanspruch auftritt.

Data Protection by Design in the E-Health Care Sector
Authors: Bincoletto Giorgia
Published: November 2021

In the digital age, e-health technologies play a pivotal role in the processing of medical information. As personal health data represent sensitive information concerning a data subject, enhancing data protection and security of systems and practices has become a primary concern.

This book explores how an e-health system could be developed and how data processing activities could be carried out to apply data protection principles and requirements from the design stage. There is currently a lack of clarity and knowledge on the topic among developers, data controllers and stakeholders. The research attempts to bridge the gap between the legal and technical disciplines on DPbD by providing a set of guidelines for the implementation of the principle in the e-health care sector.
Fermente des Sozialen
Authors: Beregow Elena
Published: November 2021

Elena Beregows Studie entwickelt eine Soziologie der Temperierung. Sie lotet dazu gesellschaftliche Natur-Kulturen, Thermopolitiken und Temporalitäten anhand der thermischen Figuren des Feuers, der Maschine und der bislang übersehenen Gärung aus. Letztere steht im Mittelpunkt der Arbeit und wird in Lektüren von Marx, Durkheim, Lévi-Strauss, Serres, Latour und Haraway erschlossen. Die vorliegende materialistische Diskussion der Gärungsmetapher lässt neue sozialtheoretische Figuren des ›Kleinen‹ erkennbar werden. In ihnen werden die utopischen Hoffnungen in der Materialität des Sozialen – das Neue, Kreative und Unerwartete – ebenso lesbar wie die ›dunklen‹ Momente des Zerfalls, der Zersetzung und Auflösung.
Enthaftung durch Zustimmung
Authors: Müßig Liska
Published: November 2021

Can board members and managing directors effectively exempt themselves from liability by having the shareholders approve the act in advance? The work is intended to contribute to more legal certainty in dealing with “exclusion of liability”. While the exculpatory effect of consent is recognised in principle, the details of conditions and limits are still controversial. The author discusses important issues in connection with the provision on exclusion of liability of Section 93 (4) sentence 1 of the German Stock Corporation Act. In the absence of a corresponding provision in the law governing limited liability companies, the author subsequently examines the extent to which the results obtained can be applied to limited liability companies.
Bilateral Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma: A Case Report of an Unusual Cause of Acute Headache in a Child
Authors: Kear Breelan , Gold Claudia , Bhola Rahul
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Acute angle-closure glaucoma (AACG) is typically considered a disease of adulthood. However, AACG may occasionally be seen in children. The clinical presentation is similar to adults, including headache, vomiting, and eye pain. However, the etiology of angle closure in children is different and most often associated with congenital anterior segment abnormalities. A precipitating factor of AACG in children with previous established, anterior segment abnormalities is eye dilation, which may occur during routine ophthalmological examination with topical mydriasis, or physiologic mydriasis upon entering a dark room. Case Report: We describe a 5-year-old child with a history of severe prematurity and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) presenting with bilateral AACG following a routine outpatient, dilated ophthalmological examination. While angle-closure glaucoma has previously been reported in cases of ROP, a bilateral acute attack of AACG following pupil dilation in regressed ROP has hitherto been unreported. Conclusion: Given the association of ROP and AACG, it can be expected that as the survival rate of premature infants improves, the incidence of ROP and AACG may also increase. It is therefore prudent for the emergency physician to have AACG on the differential for pediatric patients with headache and eye pain.
Diagnosis of Bladder Diverticula with Point-of-Care Ultrasound
Authors: Lahham Shadi , Gutierrez Salvador
Published: November 2021

Case Presentation: A 65-year-old male presented to the emergency department with symptoms including fever, abnormal urinalysis, and elevated post-void residual. Point-of-care ultrasound was used to rapidly diagnose a bladder diverticulum. The patient was subsequently seen by urology for outpatient bladder repair.
Discussion: Bladder diverticula, an out-pouching of the bladder, may occur congenitally or as a result of various bladder conditions and/or surgery. Although bladder diverticula are rare and often asymptomatic, severe complications including frequent recurring urinary tract infections may arise depending on the patient.
Didelphys Uterus in Pregnancy, an Uncommon Mullerian Duct Anomaly: A Case Report
Authors: Jorgensen Colin , Lusiak Monika
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Didelphys uterus, or “double uterus,” is one of the rarest Müllerian duct anomalies (MDA). Due to its rarity, data are sparse on overall outcomes associated with this congenital defect, but it may be associated with several complications, both pregnancy and non-pregnancy related.
Case Report: In this case, a pregnant 35-year-old female with vaginal bleeding was subsequently diagnosed with uterus didelphys by transvaginal ultrasound imaging.
Conclusion: Despite its rarity, clinicians should be aware of MDAs and their associated complications with pregnancy.
An Uncommon Presentation of Cryptococcal Meningitis in an Immunocompetent Patient: A Case Report
Authors: Correa Kelly , Craver Scott , Sandhu Amar
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Meningitis is a serious and potentially life-threatening infection of the central nervous system. Cryptococcus neoformans is a rare fungal cause of meningitis that commonly presents with atypical symptoms. Although this infection is most common in immunocompromised patients, it also occurs in immunocompetent patients. This case report describes an atypical presentation of cryptococcal meningitis in a seemingly immunocompetent patient.
Case Report: A 40-year-old immunocompetent patient with no significant past medical history had visited the emergency department (ED) five times within a span of 30 days reporting dental pain and headache. Throughout each of the visits, no clear symptoms signaling the need for a meningitis workup were observed, as the patient had been afebrile, displayed no nuchal rigidity, and his presenting symptoms subsided within the ED after treatment. A lumbar puncture was performed after emergency medical services brought the patient in for his sixth ED visit, initially for stroke-like symptoms and altered mental status. Spinal fluid was indicative of cryptococcal meningitis.
Conclusion: This case highlights the challenge of identifying cryptococcal meningitis in the ED, particularly in immunocompetent patients who do not display classic meningitis symptoms. It also highlights the importance of keeping a broad differential and carefully ruling out diagnoses when patients return to the ED multiple times for the same complaint.
Small Bowel Volvulus as Delayed Presentation of Undiagnosed Crohn’s Disease: A Case Report
Authors: Nguyen Minh Thu , Ali Amir , Bodkin Ryan
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Emergency department (ED) visits related to flare-ups of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are becoming more prevalent. There are many potentially dangerous complications and sequelae of uncontrolled IBD.
Case Report: We report a case of a middle-aged woman who presented with a few hours of severe abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting. Given her hemodynamic instability, she was sent urgently for computed tomography, which showed an incomplete small bowel malrotation, mesenteric volvulus, and high-grade small bowel obstruction with evolving ischemia. The patient underwent exploratory laparotomy to resect most of her small intestines. Biopsies later revealed active Crohn’s disease.
Conclusion: Patients with flare-ups of IBD are common in the ED, but very few present with a midgut volvulus later in life. Our case is unique and adds to the literature due to the dramatic consequences of undiagnosed Crohn’s disease in a patient with intermittent symptoms and extensive workup spanning over two decades.
Organisation design and the role of ICT: Negative effects of working from home during the coronavirus pandemic
Authors: Kahrović Ernad , Kahrović Emina
Published: November 2021

The goal of the paper is to point to the role and importance of organization design as a tool for strategy implementation, together with a dominant, role of technology in shaping the design. Namely, the development, of modern information and communication technology (ICT) is accompanied by the creation of new organizational forms, which enable the management, and employees to carry out, a significant, portion of work from home. The central focus of this paper is the impact, of technology on the creation of new forms of design, with a virtual organization taking up a particularly prominent, position. We underline the fact, that, among many changes that, the coronavirus pandemic has produced in everyday life, working from home can be considered as the most, drastic one; hence, its harmful effects are underscored, such as those relating to negative psychological effects, anxiety disorders, health issues, job loss, decreased efficiency and reduced satisfaction of the employees.
El Estado de Derecho como Estrella Polar de la Convención Europea de Derechos Humanos: El Tribunal de Estrasburgo y la independencia del poder judicial
Authors: Spano Robert
Published: November 2021

El Estado de Derecho es un principio constitucional consagrado en la Convención Europea de Derechos Humanos. A través de su historia, el Estado de Derecho ha sido la estrella polar que ha servido de guía a la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos. En los últimos años, el impacto normativo de este principio se ha visto especialmente incrementado en casos relativos a la independencia judicial. El presente artículo discute la esencia misma del concepto del Estado de Derecho bajo el sistema de la Convención como elemento fundamental del «Orden Público Europeo.» De igual modo, se intenta explorar el estatus normativo tridimensional del Estado de Derecho de acuerdo con la propia declaración del Tribunal que señala que dicho principio es «inherente a todos los artículos de la Convención.» Sobre esta base, el artículo realiza un análisis profundo sobre la aplicación de la independencia judicial como elemento orgánico fundamental del imperio de la ley. Finalmente, el autor reflexiona sobre la relación simbiótica que existe en el ámbito de la independencia judicial entre el Tribunal de Estrasburgo y el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea.
La justicia restaurativa en la ejecución penitenciaria
Authors: De Marcos Madruga Florencio
Published: November 2021

La participación de la víctima en la fase de ejecución del proceso penal en nuestro ordenamiento es un hecho novedoso que, más allá de la reparación civil, arranca del Estatuto de la víctima en año 2015, el cual introduce la Justicia Restaurativa en ese momento procesal. Este instrumento puede ser una importante alternativa o complemento a la Justicia tradicional en aras de lograr una mejor satisfacción de los intereses de la victima. Siendo este el objetivo, se viene desarrollando desde el año 2019 una experiencia en el CIS “Máximo Carrera” de Valladolid en la cual se trabaja con liberados condicionales, penados clasificados en tercer grado y condenados a la pena de trabajos en beneficio de la comunidad, con el objetivo de elaborar un protocolo de actuación extensible a otros centros. The participation of the victim in the execution phase of the criminal process in our legal order is a novel fact that, beyond civil reparation, starts from the Statute of the victim in 2015, and introduces Restorative Justice at that procedural moment. This instrument may become an important alternative or complement to traditional Justice in order to achieve a better satisfaction of the interests of the victim. A Program dealing with conditional parole inmates, convicts classified in third degree and sentenced to comunity services has been developed in the CIS “Máximo Carrera” of Valladolid since 2019, with the aim of drawing up an action protocol that may be extended to other prisons.
ISTRAGA ZLOČINA UŽIVO: AGENDA ONLINE MEDIJA
Authors: Baraković Vedada
Published: November 2021

U ovom radu propituju se etički aspekti medijskog izvještavanja o zločinima, posebno zločinima ubistva koji uključuju elemente pogodne za kreiranje spektakla i nametanja dominatnih medijskih i ekonomskih agendi u društvu. Istraživanje je bazirano na izvještavanju medija o slučaju ubistva pjevačice Jelene Krsmanović Marjanović kao eklatantnog primjera kršenja profesionalnih standarda i etičkih normi, ali i kao odraza moralnog stanja u društvu. (Zlo)upotreba slučaja od strane medija, istražnih organa, političara, pa i javnosti, očitovala se u kršenju prava na privatnost žrtve i njezine porodice, u nepoštivanju prava na pretpostavke nevinosti (posebno članova porodice), te u kontinuiranoj reviktimizaciji žrtve. Nametanjem medijske agende konstituirao se i javni diskurs na temeljima tabloidne naracije i trijumfa spektakla, a slučaj Krsmanović predstavlja i svojevrstan iskorak iz medijskog tretmana zločina kao medijskog spektakla u sferu aktivnog uvlačenja publike u događaj i prelijevanja moralnog posrnuća na sve učesnike u javnom komunikacijskom činu.

MEDIJSKA ETIKA
Authors: Broćeta Aleksandra
Published: November 2021

Cilj rada je istraživanje etike u medijima kroz sagledavanje odgovora na anketna pitanja, koja su u vezi s etičkim kodeksom elektronskih i štampanih medija, televizijskim i radio-programom, reklamnim sadržajem, gostovanjem u emisijama i društvenim mrežama. Da li je važan izgled i ponašanje novinara, urednika i voditelja informativnih, dokumentarnih, sportskih i muzičkih emisija pokazaće rezultati istraživanja. Veoma su interesantni odgovori u vezi s društvenim mrežama u kojima se ispitanici izjašnjavaju o učestvovanju djece kao „Facebook prijatelja“, objavljivanju slika iz privatnog života kao dokaz da populacija ima različito mišljenje o ovoj veoma diskutabilnoj temi, koja često manifestuje izraz i odraz prikrivene opasnosti. Rezultati istraživanja objašnjavaju i dovode do zaključka koliko konzumenti medija (slušaoci, gledaoci, čitaoci i učesnici na društvenim mrežama) primjećuju etičnost novinara, tematskih emisija, marketinga u medijima, gostovanje javnih ličnosti, sadržaj titlovanih poruka za vrijeme političkih emisija i da li je široj javnosti uopšte važna etika, a posebno etika u medijima. Tematika naučnog rada na temu „Medijska etika“ sagledava etičnost novinara kroz Deklaraciju o principima postupanja novinara, Minhensku deklaraciju o pravima i obavezama novinara evropske zajednice upoređujući stavke iz navedenih deklaracija sa mišljenjem jednog dijela javnog mnjenja.
MEDIJI KAO NAJVAŽNIJI FAKTOR U ŠIRENJU EKOLOŠKE SVESTI GRAĐANA

Published: November 2021

U vremenu ekonomske krize koja vlada u svetu i kod nas, svaki ovako postavljeni istraživački projekat može odigrati važnu ulogu u strateškom opredelenju društva za ostvarivanje novih razvojnih programa. Naime, tržište nas upućuje na pronalaženje rešenja u ponudi novih proizvoda koji su veoma značajni u ishrani stanovništva i preventivi protiv savremenih bolesti čovečanstva. Problematika se odvija u okviru raspoloživih i obnovljivih resursa, pa se, stoga, otvoreno postavlja pitanje učešća svih relevantnih faktora koji bi bili u funkciji ostvarenja tih projekata. Priznavanje tržišta kao jednog od regulatora odnosa ne znači da ono sve probleme može razrešiti. Potrebne su, dakle, dodatne mere koje pripadaju državi kao sistemu, jer stvaranjem ambijenta za rad, ona svesno ili nesvesno postaje - partner. Zato smatramo da koncept održivog razvoja dobija na dimenziji, jer je svetska ekonomska kriza pokazala da neoliberalnu ekonomiju treba kanalisati, kako bi se sirovine racionalno iskorišćavale i stalno obnavljale. Naročito je to važno za zemlje u razvoju kao što je naša. Nedavno prihvatanje našeg projekta – Šljiva – nacionalna robna marka od strane Ministarstva za regionalni razvoj Srbije, samo potvrđuje da se i na najvišem nivou o tome vodi računa.
DRUŠTVENI ZNAČAJ KORPORATIVNE BEZBEDNOSTI THE SOCIAL IMPORTANCE OF CORPORATE SECURITY
Authors: Milićević Marlema , Tomić Duško
Published: November 2021

„Bolest počinje sa osetljivim stanjem tela koje može biti izazvano naslednim faktorima ili nezdravim ponašanjem – krizna žarišta u korporacijama se javljaju u sektorima gde je loše upravljanje. Faza inkubacije nastupa kada se patogeni elementi namnože i nastane – zanemarivanje na izgled bezazlenih problema. Kada dostignu izvestan prag, patogeni elementi savlađuju odbrambeni sistem tela i čine da se pacijent oseća bolesnim – eskalacija krize. Bolest se ispolji i bitka za oporavak ili preživljavanje može da počne.” Isto je tako i u korporacijama, zanemarivanje problema u administraciji ili tehničkom obezbeđenju korporacije i danas u XXI veku kao glavni problem zaštita podataka, slaba zaštita servera u korporacijama omogućavaju sajber napade na istu – akcije koje se preduzimaju kako bi se stekla informaciona superiornost kao podrška poslovnim strategijama korporacije – korak ispred. Bitka za konkurenciju uvek traje. Neke korporacije pate od izopačenja racionalnog plana. Savremene korporacije u zapadnom društvu pristupaju racionalno-naučnom pristupu upravljanja. Njihov racionalni sistem razmišljanja svodi se na izračunavanje rizika i iscrtavanje mogućih puteva neuspeha razvijanjem procedura za detektovanje abnormalnih obrazaca koji ipak u velikoj meri vode ka neuspehu i krizama. Zašto se to dešava? Nemoguće je predvideti kakva će kriza nastupiti. Racionalno-naučni pristup vodi ka lažnom osećaju sigurnosti, opisivanjem svih tih mogućih uzroka kriza, iscrtavanjem puteva neuspeha i dodeljivanjem kvatifikovanog faktora rizika svakom scenariju. Ako nastupi žarište – rizik koji je jako mali postaje prihvatljiv i zanemaruje se, jer ljudi su skloni da zaborave da rizici - ma kako mali – zaista se mogu ostvariti. „Normalizacija rizika“ često dovodi do shvatanja koje se sve češće sreće: „to se neće ovde dogoditi“, a kada kriza nastupi, svi ostanu zapanjeni.
ULOGA SISTEMA OBRAZOVANJA U AFIRMACIJI PREDUZETNIŠTVA MLADIH
Authors: Dakić Dijana
Published: November 2021

Prema izvještaju Svjetske banke, nezaposlenost mladih u BiH je najviša u regiji i iznosi 57,9%. Na sceni je odliv mladih, prvenstveno visokokvalifikovanih, koji odlaze u razvijene evropske zemlje. Sa druge strane, institucije BiH ne pokazuju dovoljno pažnje afirmaciji funkcionalnog obrazovnog sistema, prvenstveno promociji preduzetništva u okviru istog. U tom smislu neophodno je po vertikali definisati preduzetničke ishode obrazovanja i nastavne programe koji će na efikasan način voditi ka postizanju predviđenih ishoda učenja. Na taj način bi se stvarale kompetencije učenika i studenata koje bi obezbjeđivale preuzimanje odgovornosti za svoju budućnost. U radu su analizirane najbolje svjetske prakse omladinskog preduzetništva, njihove primjene u obrazovnom sistemu i mogućnosti transfera u BiH.

Stvaraoci kulturnog proizvoda imaju potrebu da iskoriste medije za nove mogućnosti sagledavanja njihovih stvaralačkih ideja, a istovremeno produkcija u kulturi želi i ima potrebu da taj proizvod komercijalizuje. U oba slučaja potrebni su mediji, sa ciljem da se nekome dopadne to što kultura stvara, da se to pokaže „tržištu kulturnih vrijednosti“ i da se na takav način testira kvalitet i dopadljivost onog što se stvara. Premalo je sredstava za kulturu, a ona opstaje, traje u najrazličitijim oblicima i modalitetima, stvara opštu iluziju da je sve u najboljem redu.

Published: November 2021

The article discusses the creation of a thematic resource on the history of the Trans-Siberian Railway using modern Web-GIS tools which will provide for accumulating source information collected during research and presenting it in a form accessible for researchers. The online GIS allows one to work with the materials named in several modes:  interactive, tabular (with a description of the source base) as well as modes of editing information in the cloud storage database or in a limited mode of data input and data loading. The GIS project is represented by a set of vector and raster data transformed to work in a modern coordinate system: historical maps and diagrams, satellite images in the form of mosaics and image fragments obtained through available geoservices (Google, Yandex, Bing). Digital layers are also available which are generated and edited based on the digitization of historical and modern maps of different scales. Simultaneously with the work on the web-resource, the authors are creating the Transsib desktop GIS. The development and launch of the web-GIS "Trans-Siberian Railway" gives its users a number of new opportunities including the availability of generalized information and cartographic database on the history of the construction and operation of the Transsib as well as an opportunity for several users to work with project materials simultaneously, search for the necessary metadata information in the GIS, etc.

Mutations or genetic variation in noncoding regions of the genome harbouring cis-regulatory elements (CREs), or enhancers, have been widely implicated in human disease and disease risk. However, our ability to assay the impact of these DNA sequence changes on enhancer activity is currently very limited because of the need to assay these elements in an appropriate biological context. Here, we describe a method for simultaneous quantitative assessment of the spatial and temporal activity of wild-type and disease-associated mutant human CRE alleles using live imaging in zebrafish embryonic development. We generated transgenic lines harbouring a dual-CRE dual-reporter cassette in a pre-defined neutral docking site in the zebrafish genome. The activity of each CRE allele is reported via expression of a specific fluorescent reporter, allowing simultaneous visualisation of where and when in development the wild-type allele is active and how this activity is altered by mutation.

Pathogenic mycobacteria pose a sustained threat to global human health. Recently, cytochrome bcc complexes have gained interest as targets for antibiotic drug development. However, there is currently no structural information for the cytochrome bcc complex from these pathogenic mycobacteria. Here, we report the structures of Mycobacterium tuberculosis cytochrome bcc alone (2.68 Å resolution) and in complex with clinical drug candidates Q203 (2.67 Å resolution) and TB47 (2.93 Å resolution) determined by single-particle cryo-electron microscopy. M. tuberculosis cytochrome bcc forms a dimeric assembly with endogenous menaquinone/menaquinol bound at the quinone/quinol-binding pockets. We observe Q203 and TB47 bound at the quinol-binding site and stabilized by hydrogen bonds with the side chains of QcrBThr313 and QcrBGlu314, residues that are conserved across pathogenic mycobacteria. These high-resolution images provide a basis for the design of new mycobacterial cytochrome bcc inhibitors that could be developed into broad-spectrum drugs to treat mycobacterial infections.

Published: November 2021

Language is an essential part of psychotherapeutic work. In psychotherapy involving more than one language and/or culture, acknowledging the impact of the therapist’s and the client’s language(s) can facilitate achieving the most beneficial therapeutic process and outcome. The field has witnessed a surge in interdisciplinary work combining research methods from multilingualism and psychotherapy. This research aims to investigate the role of multilingualism in emotion expression and interpretation in psychotherapy offered by multilingual/multicultural therapists. Ten individual semi-structured interviews with therapists in the Netherlands focused on therapists’ experience of working as a multilingual/multicultural therapist with culturally and linguistically diverse clients. Thematic analysis of the results showed that language choice influenced the therapeutic process and its outcome in terms of discussing emotional topics, establishing and maintaining rapport with the client, and managing linguistic and cultural differences. Linguistic awareness of therapists allows them to manage the linguistic and cultural issues that inevitably arise in encounters with multilingual/multicultural clients.
Matching sensor ontologies with unsupervised neural network with competitive learning
Authors: Xue Xingsi , Wang Haolin , Liu Wenyu
Published: November 2021

Sensor ontologies formally model the core concepts in the sensor domain and their relationships, which facilitates the trusted communication and collaboration of Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT). However, due to the subjectivity of the ontology building process, sensor ontologies might be defined by different terms, leading to the problem of heterogeneity. In order to integrate the knowledge of two heterogeneous sensor ontologies, it is necessary to determine the correspondence between two heterogeneous concepts, which is the so-called ontology matching. Recently, more and more neural networks have been considered as an effective approach to address the ontology heterogeneity problem, but they require a large number of manually labelled training samples to train the network, which poses an open challenge. In order to improve the quality of the sensor ontology alignment, an unsupervised neural network model is proposed in this work. It first models the ontology matching problem as a binary classification problem, and then uses a competitive learning strategy to efficiently cluster the ontologies to be matched, which does not require the labelled training samples. The experiment utilizes the benchmark track provided by the Ontology Alignment Evaluation Initiative (OAEI) and multiple real sensor ontology alignment tasks to test our proposal’s performance. The experimental results show that the proposed approach is able to determine higher quality alignment results compared to other matching strategies under different domain knowledge such as bibliographic and real sensor ontologies.

Background

Walnut is an important economic tree species with prominent economic value and ecological functions. However, in recent years, walnuts have become susceptible to drought stress, resulting in a decline in comprehensive benefits. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the regulatory molecular mechanism associated with walnut response to drought. In many plants, ethylene responsive factor (ERF) gene family plays important roles in response to biotic and abiotic stress, especial drought. Therefore, the identification and characterisation of walnut ERF genes will benefit walnut with regard to the clarification of drought response mechanism as well as the management, production, and quality of plantations.

Methods

‘ERF’ was compared against the walnut transcriptome, and the JrERFs with a complete open reading frame (ORF) were identified by ORF Finder. The molecular weights, amino acid residues, and theoretical isoelectric point (pI) were predicted by ExPASy. The distribution of JrERFs in chromosome locations was determined based on walnut genome data from NCBI. The intron-exon structures and conserved domains were analysed using Gene Structure Display Server 2.0 and CD-Search, accordingly. Multi-sequence alignment and a phylogenetic tree were constructed by ClustalX2.1 and MEGA7, respectively. The conserved motifs were acquired using MEME. Total RNA was isolated using the cetyltrimethylammonium ammonium bromide (CTAB) method (Yang et al., 2018). Gene expression was determined by using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis and calculated according to the 2−ΔΔCT method (Livak & Schmittgen, 2001).

Results

A total of 44 JrERFs were identified from the walnut transcriptome, whose ORFs were 450–1,239 bp in length. The molecular weights of the JrERF proteins (consisting 149–412 amino acids) were 16.81–43.71 kDa, with pI ranging from 4.8 (JrERF11) to 9.89 (JrERF03). The JrERFs can be divided into six groups (B1–B6), and among the groups, B6 contained the most number of members. Each JrERF contained 1–6 motifs and each motif comprised 9–50 amino acids. Among the motifs, motif1, motif2, and motif3 were the most abundant. More than 40% of JrERFs were up-regulated continuously when subjected to ethephon (ETH), PEG6000, and PEG6000+ETH treatments. Of all the JrERFs, JrERF11 showed the highest expression. Therefore, we conclude that walnut ERF genes are highly conserved and involved in the regulation of drought response in the presence of ETH. JrERFs are possibly important candidate genes for molecular breeding; hence, the findings of this study provides the theoretical basis for further investigation of ERF genes in walnut and other species.
A Cross-sectional Study to Assess Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictor of Microvascular Complications in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients
Authors: Bhattacharyya Sutanay , Jain Neelima , Verma Himanshu , Sharma Kavish
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) is a novel marker of chronic inflammation that exhibits a balance of two interdependent components of the immune system and can be used to predict microvascular complications in diabetes. Aim: To study the NLR in type 2 diabetes patients and its association with microvascular complications in these patients. Materials and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted over 18 months at Safdarjung Hospital, New Delhi. Eighty patients of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM) were selected for the study. Detailed history was taken including duration of DM, symptoms suggestive of any complications or co-morbidity and treatment history. Physical examination (height and weight) and systemic examination was performed to check for presence of any diabetic complications. NLR was obtained from the complete blood counts by dividing the absolute number of neutrophils to the absolute number of lymphocytes. Data recorded were analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) software version 21.0 Logistic regression analysis and Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) curve were used. Results: Total 38.7% (31) of the patients had high NLR, with mean±Standard Deviation (SD) of NLR being 3.29±1.49. There was a statistically significant association between poorly controlled diabetes HbA1C >7%, high-sensitivity C-Reactive Protein (hs-CRP) levels and NLR. NLR was found to be the best predictor of diabetic neuropathy and diabetic nephropathy. NLR was also significantly higher in DM patient having more than one microvascular complication. Conclusion: NLR can be used as a simple parameter to predict presence of diabetic microvascular complications. Thus, an early diagnosis and subsequently targeting inflammatory pathways could possibly be a component of the strategies to prevent and control diabetes related complications.

Introduction: Elevated plasma concentrations of lipoprotein {Lp(a)} have been consistently shown to be a risk factor for the development of a spectrum of thrombotic and atherosclerotic disorders including Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). Aim: To assess relationship of Lp(a) with severity of CAD in patients of Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI). Materials and Methods: A hospital based, cross-sectional study was conducted at Topiwala National Medical College and B.Y.L. Nair Charitable Hospital, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, between November 2016 to April 2018 (18 months). A total of 200 diagnosed cases of AMI who were willing to undergo coronary angiography were enrolled for this study. Prior to coronary angiography, a fasting blood sample was assessed for lipids and Lp(a) levels. The Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery (SYNTAX) score was calculated according to the coronary angiography results. Patients were divided into two groups based on Lp(a) levels: <25 mg/dL and >25 mg/dL and categorised based on CAD severity and SYNTAX scores as low (<22), intermediate (23-32) and high (>32). Lp(a) levels were categorised as low (<25 mg/dL) and high (>25 mg/dL). A p-value of <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. The statistical evaluation of data was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS; Chicago, IL, USA) program, version 20.0. Results: Majority of the patients belonged to the age group 41- 60 years. Males comprised 161 (80.5%) patients of the study population. Hypertension was the most prevalent risk factor, observed in 101 (50.5%) patients. Left ventricular ejection fraction <40% was observed in 85 (42.5%) patients. Majority had low SYNTAX score {92 (46%)}. There was a significant difference in patients with Lp(a) <25 mg/dL compared to patients with Lp(a) >25 mg/dL with low (45.7% vs. 54.3%, p-value=0.0001), intermediate (9.9% vs. 90.1%, p-value=0.0001) and high SYNTAX scores (10.8% vs. 89.2%, p-value=0.0001), respectively. Conclusion: The Lp(a) was significantly associated with severity of CAD and it also displays prognostic significance.
