Wybrane aspekty stosowania bezzałogowych statków powietrznych w systemie bezpieczeństwa
Authors: Parczewski Rafał , Wojtaszek Mariusz
Published: January 2022

Bezzałogowe statki powietrzne, potocznie zwane dronami, odgrywają coraz większą rolę
w systemie bezpieczeństwa państwa. Drony wykorzystywane są przez wiele służb odpowiedzialnych za bezpieczeństwo państwa. Nowoczesne funkcjonalności bezzałogowych statków powietrznych pozwalają na wykonywanie szeregu zadań ustawowych wielu służb. Bezzałogowe platformy latające uczestniczą również w różnego rodzaju akcjach poszukiwawczo-ratowniczych. Systemy bezzałogowe pozwalają na wyeliminowanie wielu zagrożeń, które mogą wpłynąć negatywnie na ludzkie życie czy zdrowie. Analiza literatury pokazuje, że lotnictwo bezzałogowe w coraz większym stopniu zapewnia wsparcie organów oraz instytucji państwowych. Pandemia COVID – 19 pokazuje, jak ważnym elementem jest obserwacja i monitoring z powietrza. Zmiana przepisów prawnych dotyczących bezzałogowych statków oraz coraz większa ilość wykonywanych operacji lotniczych świadczy o niezwykłej popularności wskazanych obiektów latających.
Rola informacji w społeczeństwie konsumpcyjnym
Authors: Filipiak Olga
Published: January 2022

Informacja postrzegana jest obecnie jako jedno z ważniejszych dóbr konsumpcyjnych we współczesnym świecie. Z kolei społeczeństwo konsumpcyjne to typ społeczeństwa, w którym naczelne miejsce zajmuje konsumpcja. Warto wobec tego poczynić refleksję dotyczącą znaczenia informacji w tym typie społeczeństwa. Celem artykułu jest ukazanie roli informacji w społeczeństwie konsumpcyjnym, szczególnie w zachowaniach konsumentów. Współczesny konsument podejmuje szereg istotnych decyzji konsumenckich pod wpływem informacji, jakie pozyskuje oraz jakie są do niego dostarczane z różnych źródeł. W pracy zastosowano metodę studiów literaturowych związanych z tematyką badawczą pracy. Rozważania podjęte w pracy prowadzą do wniosku, iż rola informacji w społeczeństwie konsumpcyjnym jest bardzo istotna. Można ją postrzegać w kilku aspektach: od funkcji informacyjnej, sterującej, co widoczne jest w podejmowanych decyzjach konsumenckich, poprzez funkcję konsumpcyjną oraz rolę kulturotwórczą i społeczną informacji mającą odzwierciedlenie m.in. w tworzonej kulturze konsumpcji, czy wzorach konsumpcji. Analiza podjęta w artykule pozwala na przedstawienie aktualnego tematu wpisującego się w socjologię konsumpcji, co pozwala na ukazanie istoty znaczących problemów związanych z rolą informacji w społeczeństwie konsumpcyjnym.
Biozagrożenia w ochronie osób – zagadnienia wybrane
Authors: Pajorski Paweł
Published: January 2022

Broń biologiczna, zwana też bronią bakteriologiczną, jest znana i „produkowana” od zarania dziejów, a obecnie przeżywa swoją kolejną młodość. Zainteresowanie nią wzrasta od pewnego czasu zarówno w środowiskach cywilnych, jak i militarnych. Bronią tą, jej pozyskaniem, produkcją oraz zastosowaniem zainteresowani są również terroryści oraz zorganizowane grupy przestępcze. Leży ona również w kręgu zainteresowań osób dokonujących zamachów na VIP’ów oraz inne osoby ochraniane. Dla osób ochranianych i ich bodyguardów zamach z wykorzystaniem broni biologicznej to najgorszy scenariusz zamachu, jaki może się zdarzyć. Broń biologiczna – bezwonna, bezbarwna, bezsmakowa, bezdźwięczna, niewidoczna do momentu pojawienia się pierwszych symptomów chorobowych – stanowi poważne zagrożenie.
On Violations of Human Rights by the Communist Regime in Poland
Authors: Robertson (Bożysława Maria-Magdalena Nadolna) Bo
Published: January 2022

During the communist regime, the Polish judicial apparatus was construed as a tool to liquidate the opposition. Many people were killed, imprisoned, tortured, dispossessed, and their families persecuted and condemned to lives of abject poverty. After the fall of communism, the perpetrators of these atrocities were not confronted with their crimes and continued to function surreptitiously. Their shame and guilt have been suppressed, while the wrongs suffered by the victims have not been remedied, and thus continue to hang over the nation like the Sword of Damocles. The unexpunged culpability and corrupted conscience inherited by their descendants continue to foment social resentments. The aim of the article is to suggest the approach to restoring social equilibrium taking as the premise that the legacy of historical violence must be remedied, and the wrongs must be rectified a priori. The scientific methods used in the article are restitution, restoration, reconciliation, and mediation. The sense of social and individual justice is at the core of humanity. Where this is lacking, social unrest arises and spills over with violence. The crimes of the communist regime must be conceded to prevent an impending revolution. Compassion toward the suffering can pave the way to forgiveness, and through that, to reconciliation.

Authors: Żołyniak Krzysztof
Published: January 2022

Internet jest największym medium informacyjnym XXI wieku i dobrodziejstwem ludzkości. Przez Internet można się uczyć, podróżować, poznawać nowych ludzi. Niestety, wielu użytkowników Internetu nie zdaje sobie sprawy z tego, jak bardzo trzeba być ostrożnym w korzystaniu z tej zdobyczy techniki. Zagrożenie Internetem to poważny i naglący problem. W pracy z dziećmi należy zwracać uwagę na brak anonimowości w sieci oraz ukazywać zdrowotne skutki nadużywania Internetu. Innym zagadnieniem, które należy zaakcentować jest to, iż wirtualny świat nie jest sposobem na życie, a kontakty międzyludzkie w świecie realnym to największa wartość. Wielkim zadaniem dla wychowawców jest zwrócenie uwagi na znajomości internetowe z nieznajomymi osobami (na pozór przyjaźnie nastawionymi). Celem artykułu jest ukazanie, czy dzieci są świadome niebezpieczeństw wynikających z korzystania z Internetu oraz próba diagnozy zachowań młodych ludzi w Internecie. Problem badawczy niniejszego artykułu dotyczy zagrożeń związanych z korzystaniem przez dzieci z Internetu i został przedstawiony na podstawie badań przeprowadzonych w krośnieńskich szkołach podstawowych wiosną 2021 roku wśród 326 uczniów. Analizie zostały poddane kwestie odnoszące się do określenia stopnia świadomości zagrożeń płynących z korzystania z Internetu.

This issue of the GaBI Journal contains only a limited number of articles, but these include two scientifi c very data-rich articles and an interesting and important expose on the use and misuse of products to treat COVID-19 patients. All three articles have potentially major implications for the global struggle to deal with the current COVID-19 pandemic; either with respect to the proper use of biosimilar products to safely reduce COVID-19 related and non-related pharmaceutical expenditures, as well as to the effects of the pandemic on the criminal use and abuse of human and veterinary pharmaceuticals and other products, e.g. disinfectants.
Introducere in psihiatrie. Semiologia psihiatrica pentru psihologi
Authors: Haica Cristiana
Published: January 2022

Evaluarea psihologica clinica este un proces etapizat, sistematic, extrem de complex, ce se adreseaza atat functiilor psihice cat si personalitatii umane, ce trebuie sa ia in considerare o multitudine de aspecte care adesea nu sunt evidente, nici aparente. Inainte de a primi tratament medicamentos sau prin interventie psihologica, orice client trebuie sa treaca prin aceasta etapa fundamentala - evaluarea psihologica ce poate face ca terapia sa poata fi eficienta si adecvata. Este extrem de important ca evaluarea psihologica ce preceda interventia psihologica sa fie efectuata in baza unor ipoteze clinice, multimodal si corect, asa cum este prezentata in acest volum. Rezultatele evaluarii clinice trebuie, ulterior evaluarii, formulate intr-un limbaj profesionist, de specialitate, comun psihologiei si psihiatriei. Accesul viitorilor psihologi la acest vocabular de specialitate trebuie sa se faca inca de pe bancile facultatii, cunoasterea semnelor si simptomelor bolilor psihice, a principalelor entitati semiologice psihiatrice fiind extrem de importanta. Scopul urmarit de aceasta carte este acela de a oferi un set rezonabil de informatii de specialitate abordate intr-o maniera didactica, fluida, pornind de la principii de baza si continuand cu metode de lucru, cazuri particulare si analiza diverselor cadre in care acestea pot fi puse in practica. Importanta temei abordate deriva din binomul formare informare. Acest volum este deci important din perspectiva formativa pentru ca pune la dispozitia studentilor, masteranzilor in psihologie, psihologilor cu competente in consiliere, psihoterapie, psihologie clinica, dar si a celor cu alte competente, altor lucratori in domeniul sanatatii mintale, un ghid exhaustiv de semiologie a manifestarilor modurilor normale sau anormale in care fiecare proces si functie psihica poate functiona, imbogatite cu exemple din cazuistica proprie a autoarei sau din literatura de specialitate, ce faciliteaza considerabil intelegerea. Valenta informativa vine din adresarea catre categoria larga a altor persoane care sunt interesate de perspectiva psihologiei asupra bolii psihice.

Strategii didactice interdisciplinare utilizate pentru motivarea elevilor in lectia de literatura
Authors: Stanciu Mihaela
Published: January 2022

Utilizarea strategiilor didactice interdisciplinare, in scopul stimularii motivatiei elevilor in studiul literaturii, este subiectul cercetarii mele, inscriindu‑se in contextul cercetarilor din Stiintele Educatiei care isi aduc contributia la identificarea activitatilor pedagogice, determinante in angajamentul cognitiv al elevilor si in perseverenta intr‑o sarcina de lucru (Viau, 2014). Marile schimbari ce caracterizeaza societatea secolului XXI, precum digitalizarea si mondializarea, impun didacticii domeniului literaturii o regandire a metodelor si a practicilor sale, cu scopul de a raspunde nevoii reale a elevilor: aceea de a fi pregatiti sa traiasca in lumea de maine. Aceasta situatie necesita o repunere in dezbatere a strategiilor didactice, cu atat mai mult cu cat profesorii, cat si anchetele realizate in domeniul lecturii invoca adesea o motivatie scazuta a elevilor. Mai mult, rezultatele PISA (2015) pozitioneaza Romania pe locul 50 din 65, evidentiind ca aproape 40% dintre elevii romani au dificultati in citirea si intelegerea unui text. Se poate spune ca motivatia reprezinta un „meta‑obiectiv” in educatie, deoarece conditioneaza invatarea. De aceea este important de a intelege ceea ce stimuleaza reusita si perseverenta in studiul unei discipline, in scopul de a oferi elevilor bune conditii de predare si de invatare (Sauve, 2007).

Molluscan and Vertebrate Successions from the Veľká Drienčanská Cave
Authors: Ložek Vojen
Published: January 2022

Here we present a biostratigraphy of entrance deposits in the Veľká Drienčanská Cave based on molluscan and vertebrate successions in correlation with prehistoric pottery records. This corresponds to the final Last Glacial – Holocene time-span and reflects the following environmental history: the coexistence of open-country and woodland snail communities throughout the whole succession documents the persistence of high-diversity karsts parkland since the Late Glacial up to present, which has been supported by human activities since the Neolithic occupation. However, the molluscan succession shows a general agreement with the standard mid-European developmental pattern. The molluscan evidence is confirmed by vertebrate fossil finds.
Limited Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate on Needle Core Biopsy
Authors: Bell Phoenix D. , Teramoto Yuki , Gurung Pratik M. S. , Yang Zhiming , Miyamoto Hiroshi
Published: January 2022

Context.—

Grading small foci of prostate cancer on a needle biopsy is often difficult, yet the clinical significance of accurate grading remains uncertain.

Objective.—

To assess if grading of limited adenocarcinoma on prostate biopsy specimen is critical.

Design.—

We studied 295 consecutive patients undergoing extended-sextant biopsy with only 1-core involvement of adenocarcinoma, followed by radical prostatectomy.

Results.—

The linear tumor lengths on these biopsy specimens were: less than 1 mm (n = 114); 1 mm or more or less than 2 mm (n = 82); 2 mm or more or less than 3 mm (n = 35); and 3 mm or more (n = 64). Longer length was strongly associated with higher Grade Group (GG) on biopsy or prostatectomy specimen, higher risk of extraprostatic extension/seminal vesicle invasion and positive surgical margin, and larger estimated tumor volume. When cases were compared based on biopsy specimen GG, higher grade was strongly associated with higher prostatectomy specimen GG, higher incidence of pT3/pT3b disease, and larger tumor volume. Outcome analysis further showed significantly higher risks for biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy in patients with 1 mm or more, 2 mm or more, 3 mm or more, GG2-4, GG3-4, GG4, less than 1 mm/GG2-4, less than 1 mm/GG3-4, less than 2 mm/GG3-4, 3 mm or more/GG2-4, or 3 mm or more/GG3-4 tumor on biopsy specimens, compared with respective control subgroups. In particular, 3 mm or more, GG3, and GG4 on biopsy specimens showed significance as independent prognosticators by multivariate analysis. Meanwhile, there were no significant differences in the rate of upgrading or downgrading after radical prostatectomy among those subgrouped by biopsy specimen tumor length (eg, <1 mm [44.7%] versus ≥1/<2 mm [41.5%] versus ≥2/<3 mm [45.7%] versus ≥3 mm [46.9%]).

Conclusions.—

These results indicate that pathologists still need to make maximum efforts to grade relatively small prostate cancer on biopsy specimens.
The Clinical Significance of Perineural Invasion by Prostate Cancer on Needle Core Biopsy: Involvement of Single Versus Multiple Sextant Sites
Authors: Bell Phoenix D. , Teramoto Yuki , Gurung Pratik M. S. , Numbere Numbereye , Yang Zhiming , Miyamoto Hiroshi
Published: January 2022

Context.—

Perineural invasion (PNI) by prostate cancer has been associated with adverse pathology, including extraprostatic extension. However, the significance of PNI quantification on prostate biopsy (PBx) remains unclear.

Objective.—

To compare radical prostatectomy (RP) findings and long-term outcomes in patients whose PBx had exhibited PNI.

Design.—

We assessed 497 consecutive patients undergoing sextant (6-site/≥12-core) PBx showing conventional adenocarcinoma followed by RP.

Results.—

PNI was found in 1 (n = 290)/2 (n = 132)/3 (n = 47)/4 (n = 19)/5 (n = 5)/6 (n = 4) of the sites/regions of PBx. Compared with a single PNI site, multiple PNIs were significantly associated with higher preoperative prostate-specific antigen, higher Grade Group (GG) on PBx or RP, higher pT or pN category, positive surgical margin, and larger estimated tumor volume. When compared in subgroups of patients based on PBx GG, significant differences in RP GG (GG1–3), pT (GG1–2/GG1–3/GG2/GG3), surgical margin status (GG1–3/GG3/GG5), or tumor volume (GG1–2/GG1–3/GG2/GG3) between 1 versus multiple PNIs were observed. Moreover, there were significant differences in prostate-specific antigen (PNI sites: 1–2 versus 3–6/1–3 versus 4–6/1–4 versus 5–6), RP GG (1–3 versus 4–6/1–4 versus 5–6), pT (1–2 versus 3–6/1–3 versus 4–6), pN (1–3 versus 4–6), or tumor volume (1–2 versus 3–6/1–4 versus 5–6). Outcome analysis revealed significantly higher risks of disease progression in the entire cohort or PBx GG1–2/GG1–3/GG2/GG3/GG5 cases showing 2 to 6 PNIs, compared with respective controls with 1-site PNI. In multivariate analysis, multisite PNI was an independent predictor for progression (hazard ratio = 1.556, P = .03).

Conclusions.—

Multiple sites of PNI on PBx were associated with worse histopathologic features in RP specimens and poorer prognosis. PNI may thus need to be specified, if present, in every sextant site on PBx, especially those showing GG1–3 cancer.
Fetal Deaths in Ireland Due to SARS-CoV-2 Placentitis Caused by SARS-CoV-2 Alpha

Published: January 2022

Context.—

A severe third wave of COVID-19 disease affected Ireland in the first 3 months of 2021. In this wave, 1 second-trimester miscarriage and 6 stillbirths were observed in the Irish population because of placental insufficiency as a result of SARS-CoV-2 placentitis. This observation was at odds with the country's previous experience with COVID-19 disease in pregnant mothers.

Objective.—

To describe the clinical and pathologic features of these pregnancy losses.

Design.—

Retrospective review of clinical and pathologic data of cases of second-trimester miscarriage, stillbirth, or neonatal death identified by perinatal pathologists as being due to SARS-CoV-2 placentitis during the third wave of COVID-19 in Ireland.

Results.—

Clinical and pathologic data were available for review in 6 pregnancies. Sequencing or genotyping of the virus identified SARS-CoV-2 alpha (B.1.1.7) in all cases. Three of the 6 cases had maternal thrombocytopenia, and fetal growth restriction was not prominent, suggesting a rapidly progressive placental disease.

Conclusions.—

The identification of SARS-CoV-2 alpha in all these cases suggests that the emergence of the variant was associated with an increased risk of fetal death due to SARS-CoV-2 placentitis when compared with the original virus. Maternal thrombocytopenia may have potential as a clinical marker of placentitis, but other inflammatory markers need investigation. Three of the 6 women had been assessed for reduced fetal movements in hospital some days before the fetal deaths actually occurred; this could suggest that there may be a window for intervention in some cases.
Eficiência produtiva da agropecuária do estado de Santa Catarina e seu novo espraiamento territorial pós-2003
Authors: Costa Cunha Roberto César , Espíndoal Carlos José
Published: January 2022

O processo de modernização, pós-1960, transformou a agropecuária catarinense em um ramo especializado da produção inserido na divisão social do trabalho. Nos anos de 1990, os diferentes produtos agrícolas catarinenses (soja, leite, carnes, frutas, madeira, milho, fumo, entre outros) passaram por intenso processo de reestruturação técnica e econômica, agregando alterações geoeconômicas e sociais a jusante e a montante das atividades agropecuárias. Dessa forma, constituem-se hoje em um dos principais setores econômicos geradores de renda no estado. Entre 2003-2020, o valor bruto da produção dos principais produtos agrícolas catarinenses cresceu de R$ 11,7 milhões para R$ 28, 3 milhões. Nas exportações, o valor gerado em 2019 foi de US$ 6,2 bilhões, o que representa 69,6%, do valor total do estado, e 6,4%, do valor total dos produtos do campo brasileiros. Desvendar a eficiência produtiva da agropecuária catarinense, com base nos indicadores de área plantada, valor bruto da produção, produtividade e participação na pauta exportadora catarinense, é o objetivo central deste texto. Esse dinamismo veio acompanhado de alterações significativas nas estruturas produtivas regionais. As antigas áreas agrícolas apresentaram transformações na sua estrutura, forma e função, promovendo um novo espraiamento territorial.
Organizational and managerial aspects of the logistical response to the crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in Serbia
Authors: Stanojević Petar , Mandić Goran
Published: January 2022

Successful management before, during, as well as in the period of recovery from the crisis, is extremely important for reducing the consequences. Like any other type of management, crisis management involves planning, organizing, assigning tasks (command), coordination and control. These activities must be carried out in accordance with regulations, competences and procedures, especially in amorphous, fragmented and large systems such as national logistics. In this paper, the emphasis is placed on the analysis of 63 current regulations and procedures related to the logistical aspect of the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The considered documents represent the regulatory basis for the management of the security system and its logistics. The analysis of the existing regulations governing crisis management, and especially the planning process, led to conclusions that indicate a lack of clear division of responsibilities, integrated or coordinated planning, but also the possibility of effective or appropriate preparation and management of necessary resources, which does not contribute much to the system resistance. It was also noticed that modelling and simulations, as modern methods, are not a part of the forecasting process. The current economic situation influences Serbia's strategic orientation to increase reserves and stocks as the main source of supply in crisis situations. The existence of logistical resources and sufficient capacities also influences the choice of an adequate strategy, which was clearly shown in the Serbian case during the epidemic. The paper highlights the positive aspects and makes recommendations that could improve the organization and management of logistical support to crisis situations in Serbia, especially in terms of resilience, but also flexibility.
Factors of corruption with reference to the situation in the Republic of Serbia
Authors: Sakač Aleksandar
Published: January 2022

Corruption is one of the most dangerous phenomena of modern society. Woven into the pores of almost all states, institutions and systems to a greater or lesser extent, it deserves as such to be the subject of research. The characteristics of corruption indicate a recognizable form of corrupt behavior, while the causes direct attention to the source of the problem, directing limited resources to preventive rather than, somewhat outdated, repressive behavior. Factors of corruption, which are numerous, are limited to those that are recognized as the most important and at the same time the biggest catalysts for the development of corruption. Timely focusing on the factors of corruption enables the updating of existing and finding new mechanisms by which corruption can be reduced to a level that enables the functioning of the rule of law and a democratic state system. As a country that has gone through periods of war and transition, and that is still on its development path, Serbia is an excellent ground for finding conclusions about the validity of existing and finding new anti-corruption measures.
The contribution of the teaching contents of primary and secondary education to the development of the security culture of young people
Authors: Ćurčić Slađana
Published: January 2022

The paper considers teaching contents in comparative systems of primary and secondary education, which are important for the development of security culture of young people and based on the expanded security agenda and new educational needs in that context. Methodologically, the paper is based on a review of the existing literature and the analysis of certain strategic documents in the field of education and security. Special focus was placed on the practice in the Republic of Serbia and previous activities in this field. The initial aim was to gain insight into certain foreign experiences and experiences of the Republic of Serbia, regarding the representation of security contents in primary and secondary education, and - on the basis of this - to try to consider the development of security culture in the educational context. It was found that among the analyzed countries Poland, Slovenia and Russia have a special subject dedicated to security topics within their education systems and it is noticeable that there is such an effort in other countries, but for now, security contents are mostly implemented in the existing subjects. Regarding the Republic of Serbia, it is concluded, that the potential introduction of a special subject dedicated to security topics in secondary schools and the enrichment of existing subjects with the security content in primary schools, may result in the improvement of general security of the youth.
The importance of information and communication technologies for increased road safety from the city of Valjevo police perspective
Authors: Tešić Biljana , Obradović Dragan
Published: January 2022

Although traffic is a precondition for the overall social development, it is at the same time a global problem, worldwide and as such it is associated with numerous negative effects from various segments, in addition to the suffering of traffic participants. In order to improve traffic safety on the roads, the police around the world, including Serbia, are constantly trying to apply all the more advanced technologies, which have a wide application in terms of improving safety in general.In this paper, we presented the development of the application of certain technical means within the Ministry of the Interior of Serbia of importance for traffic safety in Serbia, pointed out the importance of a unified information system and automatic number plate recognition. The state of traffic safety on the roads in Serbia and in Valjevo in the period 2014-2018 is given. The aim of the author was to determine how the introduction of specific measure - the use of camera - reflects on the work of the police, whether the number of registered violations is on the increase, or how it reflects on the work of the Misdemeanour Court in Valjevo in terms of increasing the number of convictions and specific sanctions. On the example of the city of Valjevo, through official data over a period of 10 years, we presented the importance of information and communication technologies in detecting two very common traffic violations in the city and sanctioning those violations by the competent Misdemeanour Court. The difference in terms of the number of detected and then sanctioned violations in the period before the start of the use of information and communication technologies in the period 2010-2014 and afterwards, 2015-2019, speaks more than clearly about the importance of wider use of these tools, both in cities but also outside the settlements, on the open road. All this is in the function of increasing traffic safety on the roads in Valjevo and safety in general, because the cameras are becoming increasingly important as they are used to detect the perpetrators of and prove various crimes.
Determination of the importance of evaluation criteria during the process of recruitment and selection of personnel based on the application of the SWARA method
Authors: Popović Milica , Popović Gabrijela , Karabašević Darjan
Published: January 2022

Personnel selection for an organization is an extremely important process. Modern organizations strive to improve the process of recruitment and selection of personnel as much as possible, in order to provide the organization with quality personnel and thus long-term competitiveness. In addition, the evaluation criteria on which the recruitment and selection process is based is also important, as it has a large impact on the final selection of candidates. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to propose the application of multi-criteria decision-making methods for the process of determining the weighting coefficients of evaluation criteria. Accordingly, the SWARA (Step-Wise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis) method for determining weights was applied in the paper. The SWARA method proved to be extremely reliable when it comes to defining the weights of evaluation criteria, primarily due to its simplicity and the fact that respondents and domain experts could easily express their views on the issue.
Experimental study of the influence of a combination of operating parameters of a mobile lift on oscillatory processes occurring after locking the working platform
Authors: Kyrychenko Igor , Reznikov Oleksandr , Klets Dmytro , Kholodov Anton
Published: January 2022

The article provides a detailed analysis of the influence of the combination of performance indicators of mobile lifts with working platforms (MLWP) at the stage of stopping and the process of vibration damping after stopping the working platform. On the basis of the results of experimental research and processing of the obtained data, an analysis was made of the influence of the angles of inclination of the upper and lower sections of the boom and the mass of the load in the working platform on the maximum amplitude of oscillations of accelerations when the working platform is locked, the period of oscillations and the time of their damping. As a result of the analysis, the spectrum of the response surfaces of the maximum amplitude of acceleration oscillations when the working platform is locked, the period of oscillations and the time of their damping from the working mass and the angles of inclination of the lower and upper boom sections was obtained, on the basis of which it can be concluded that the value of the maximum amplitude of acceleration oscillations in the locking time of the working platform is most influenced by the mass of the load in the working platform.

Jet lagging in abrasive water jet cutting of high-speed tool steel
Authors: Kurbegovic Ramiz , Janjic Mileta
Published: January 2022

Abrasive water jet machining is a very efficient unconventional method for contour cutting of different types of materials. As one of the main characteristics of the quality of surfaces machined with this method is curved lines that appear during machining. These lines are a consequence of the deviation of the abrasive water jet from its ideal vertical line, jet lagging, which are the cause of machining errors. The aim of this work is to investigate the influence of machining parameters on jet lagging. The samples of high-speed steel EN HS6-5-2 (JUS c.7680) were machined with an abrasive water jet under varying working pressure, traverse speed, abrasive mass flow rate, and stand-off distance. The jet lagging was measured at twenty places along with the depth of cut, and based on these results, the relationship between the jet lagging and machining parameters has been formed. In order to correctly select the process parameters, an empirical model for the prediction of jet lagging in abrasive waterjet cutting of high-speed steel EN HS6-5-2 was developed using regression analysis. This developed model has been verified with the experimental results that reveal high applicability of the model within the experimental range used.
Normativity of international law
Authors: Dajović Goran
Published: January 2022

In The Nature of International Law, Miodrag Jovanović, generally speaking, tries to explain the concept of international law. He analyzes few typical characteristics of the prototype concept of law (institutionality, normativity, coercion and justice-aptness), and then he looks at contemporary international law through "the lenses" of these characteristics. The article pays special attention to his analysis of the normativity of (international) law. The main intention is not to criticize Jovanović's theses about the normativity of law, as such, but to point out that they are not the best possible framework for explaining the normativity of international law. Therefore, a different and more appropriate conceptual framework is presented than the one he offered in the key of Raz's idea of legal norms as exclusionary reasons for action and practical rationality. This framework is grounded on Hart's well-known idea of an internal point of view. The presented argumentation shows that within such a framework, the normativity of international law could be better explained and understood, and also it seems that certain ingrained intuitions about international law fit well into it.
The law unveiled: On burka ban, Kanzelparagraph and militant secularism in the socialist Yugoslavia
Authors: Božić Marko
Published: January 2022

Despite being closely examined from the perspective of its political background , the 1950 Yugoslav burka ban as a legal text remained until now beyond interests of historians of law. Exposing this Yugoslav law to a strictly normative analysis and comparison with analogous contemporary bans, this paper delivers the findings that largely exceeded the results of historical studies done so far. Though a brief text, the Yugoslav burka ban was a composite legislation that surely contained full-face veil ban, but also penalized criminal acts against unveiling and introduced an embryo to the future socialist Kanzelparagraph i.e., pulpit law as well. Openly aiming to break a religiously inspired behavior, its militant advocacy was only apparently distinct from a more neutral wording of the present-day veil-bans. A thorough analysis of its ideological foundation, however, indicates a crucial common feature with the modern laical legislation: the paternalistic state action excluding religion as such from the open public space and free debate. As such, the legacy of the Yugoslav socialist burka ban contributes to better understanding of militant SEC-ularism as surely a modern, but not a new controversy.
Codes of Conduct of pharmaceutical companies as acts of autonomous law and their place within Fuller's moral scale
Authors: Danilović Jelena
Published: January 2022

The article analyses codes of conduct of pharmaceutical companies, as specific autonomous acts which prescribe both moral principles of fair and honest business and particular legal duties. Article aims to set jurisprudential base for better understanding of this concept. The first part of the article deals with development and specifics of ethical codes as hybrid, legal and moral instruments. The second part analyses legal nature of the codes reviewed from pluralistic jurisprudence stance, identifying them as institutes of autonomous law. The third part analyzes moral content of codes, while in the final part the article analyzes these specific legal and moral institutes, within the context of Fuller's moral scale. Applied methods are conceptual analysis of the code of conduct concept as well as descriptive analysis of the business practice and available, relevant autonomous rules. Overview includes also comparative method of presentation of empirical practice. Conclusion analyses position of ethical codes, as specific autonomous acts, within the frame of Fuller's moral scale and perceived antagonism of morality of aspiration and morality of duty.

At the end of December 2019, a certain number of patients with pneumonia of unknown etiology appeared in the Chinese city of Wuhan. The etiological agent of corona virus disease (COVID-19) was identified as a virus from the Coronaviridae family called Novel Coronavirus, or SARS-CoV-2 (Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus 2). COVID-19 took on the proportions of a pandemic. Therapeutic options for COVID-19 include antiviral, anticoagulant, corticosteroid, biological, antibiotic, multivitamin, symptomatic therapy, and oxygen support. Corticosteroid immunosuppressive and anti-inflammatory role is helpful for a disease with immune response dysregulation and excessive cytokine production. The effect of corticosteroids in the treatment of COVID-19 depends on disease severity, the time of initiation, and the appropriate dose. Individual risk/benefit assessment is required before initiating treatment. Corticosteroids have beneficial effects on patients on oxygen support, especially on those who are on mechanical ventilation. Their use in those with mild forms of the disease and comorbidities carries an increased risk of complications. The benefits of corticosteroids are shorter hospitalization, reduced admission in intensive care units, and reduced need for non-invasive and invasive mechanical ventilation. The results of previous research have facilitated the administration of corticosteroids in the treatment of patients with COVID-19 infection, but further research is needed to remove the existing doubts.
Efficacy and opioid-sparing effect of interpleural bupivacaine in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy: Prospective observational study (Running title: Efficacy of inter-pleural bupivacaine in laparoscopy)

Published: January 2022

Introduction: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is considered minimally invasive, but pain following laparoscopy is moderate to severe, leading to increased morbidity and length of hospital stay. Various medications, including opioids, NSAIDs, and techniques like intraperitoneal local anesthetic infiltration, are used. In this study, we investigated interpleural block with bupivacaine for pain relief following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods: A total of 60 patients were included in the study. 30 patients received 20 ml of 0.5% interpleural bupivacaine (group 1), and 30 patients recieved 20 ml of 0.9% normal saline (group 2). We recorded visual analog score (VAS), vital signs, and postoperative opioid requirements. Tramadol (2 mg/kg) was rescue medication if VAS ≥ 5. Results: Significant difference between study groups was recorded among VAS scores measured at 30 minutes, 1, 2, 6, 10, and 12 hours (p value < 0.05). The difference in VAS scores at 15 minutes and 14 hours between study groups was insignificant (p value > 0.05). The number of patients who received tramadol was 9 (30%) patients in group 1 and 29 (96.7%) patients in group 2. The difference in proportion for tramadol intake at 6 hours was significant among study groups (p-value < 0.05). Conclusion: Interpleural bupivacaine 20 ml of 0.5% used as analgesia reduces post-operative opioid requirement following laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Hence interpleural block can be safely used as a regional technique for pain relief following laparoscopic cholecystectomy.
Manufacture of x-ray apparatus in Serbia

X-ray diagnostics has an irreplaceable place in radiology despite other modern diagnostic methods. That is why the production of modern X-ray machines is strategically important for every health system. Serbia has a tradition of over 70 years in the production of X-ray machines. From the first device manufactured in Serbia in 1953, it kept pace with the world in technical and technological terms. X-ray machines were produced by the state company Jugorendgen from Nis. Unfortunately, the company Jugorendgen stopped production before it managed to make a digital X-ray machine. For the past 17 years, these devices have been manufactured by Visaris. Visaris is a private company from Belgrade, which has been developing and manufacturing digital X-ray machines and software systems since 2003. Its importance came to the forefront during the pandemic SARS-CoV-2 infection when the health system of Serbia needed more stationary and mobile X-ray machines in a short time period.
Read My Lips: Onscreen Visual Acoustics in Alfred Hitchcock’s Early Movies
Authors: Vericat Fabio L.
Published: January 2022

This essay will cover some of Alfred Hitchcock’s early silent movies up to and including Blackmail (1929), of which he filmed both a silent and a sound version simultaneously. Hitchcock’s success with sound was directly linked to his training in silent technique. Silent movies actually allowed him to explore how they were capable of sound. This essay will consider how silent movies were able to induce an acoustic experience without the aid of extra-diegetic practices that added live – and sometimes gramophonic – soundtrack to films. What I am interested in is the aural effect of the visual experience of the screen alone. In the early days of cinema, the frame was silently read for all kind of sounds heard in the head of the spectator.

Authors: Bonilla-Calero Ana Isabel , Morales-González Enrique , Serrano-García María Ángeles
Published: January 2022

En este trabajo se realiza una reflexión sobre las acreditaciones internacionales de programas educativos de ingeniería españoles y mexicanos, gestionadas por la Agencia Nacional de Evaluación de la Calidad y Acreditación (ANECA), en colaboración con el Instituto de Ingeniería de España (IIE) y el Consejo de Acreditación de la Enseñanza de Ingeniería (CACEI) de México, dentro del Programa de Sellos Internacionales de Calidad (SIC), desde sus inicios hasta el momento de la pandemia provocada por la COVID-19, en el contexto de la evaluación del Sello EUR-ACE® de ingeniería, creado por la agencia europea European Network for the Accreditation of Engineering Education (ENAEE).  Los datos utilizados en este estudio fueron obtenidos directamente por ANECA. 234 programas educativos obtuvieron el Sello EUR-ACE® en el periodo analizado, distribuidos entre 35 universidades españolas y tres mexicanas, en los que se aplicó idéntico proceso de evaluación y criterios.
El debate Modernismo versus Postmodernismo: su impacto en la universidad
Authors: García Ruiz Mª José , Crespo Garrido Sagrario
Published: January 2022

El postmodernismo, que se sustenta epistemológicamente en el postestructuralismo, ha marcado su huella en educación con las realidades de “fragmentación”, “incoherencia” y “caos político”. Aunque hay académicos que aseveran que “no existe una teoría postmoderna de la educación” (Green, 1994), en la actualidad asistimos al debate de académicos modernistas
versus
teóricos postmodernos que reivindican, respectivamente, su visión de la universidad en términos de la idea de la universidad, la teleología, las funciones sociales y la epistemología de la institución universitaria. Especialmente imperioso se revela el análisis de las aportaciones del Proceso de Bolonia en la institución universitaria y en el debate modernismo-postmodernismo, en tanto que la potestad educativa de la Unión Europea ha dejado una huella en la tradición educativa universitaria del continente europeo. En suma, entre las conclusiones de este debate destaca la imperiosidad de potenciar las ciencias humanas en tanto que la universidad sigue ejerciendo su rol de liderazgo político y social de la sociedad occidental. A las humanidades y las ciencias sociales compete, más que a otras disciplinas actualmente promovidas por el profesionalismo imperante, el diseño del modelo de hombre y de sociedad en el siglo XXI. Sin esa orientación, la misma sociedad queda al dictado de la economía como única vigía social, con todos los riesgos, limitaciones y empobrecimiento social y moral que esto supone.
On Politics in Comparative and International Higher Education
Authors: Oleksiyenko Anatoly
Published: January 2022

This paper draws attention to key conundrums facing researchers of comparative and international higher education in the age of post-truth and resurgent authoritarianism. The analysis focuses on three salient concerns: world class-universities and academic freedom; power brokerage in the internationalisation of higher education; and challenges of intellectual leadership – that dominated research agendas in the field. Situated at the crossroads of major arguments in the literature and observations derived from academic praxis in the three areas, the critique sets out to explain how politics have been gaining more weight in the construct of comparative and international higher education at a time when corporate elitism is on the rise and the freedoms of inquiry and communication are declining. The study warns about the failures of integrity in this context, and manifests imperatives for safeguarding academic freedom and critical research in the field.
RECOBRAR LA MIRADA EN TIEMPOS DE POSVERDAD: EL ESTILO DE PAOLO SORRENTINO ANTE LA OBSCENIDAD EN SILVIO (Y LOS OTROS) (LORO, 2018)
Authors: GARCÍA CATALÁN Shaila , MARZAL FELICI Javier , RODRÍGUEZ SERRANO Aarón
Published: January 2022

El presente trabajo propone un análisis textual de Silvio (Y los otros) (Paolo Sorrentino, 2018). Para ello, utilizaremos una metodología basada en las aportaciones de la semiología del cine, especialmente en lo que toca tanto a los procesos significantes de la forma como al despliegue de intertextos que dotan de espesor a la escritura de Sorrentino. Nuestro objetivo es demostrar que tras la aparente relación con los estilemas de la “imagen postmoderna” –la desmesura, la serialidad, la citación…-, se puede poner de relieve un programa ético que responda a los retos contemporáneos de las relaciones entre verdad, representación y política.
Abstract: This paper proposes a textual analysis of Loro (Paolo Sorrentino, 2018). To do so, we will use a methodology based on the contributions of the semiology of cinema, especially with regard to both the significant processes of form and the deployment of intertexts that give thickness to Sorrentino’s writing. Our aim is to show that behind the apparent relationship with the stilems of the “postmodern image” —the disproportion, the seriality, the citation...—, it is possible to highlight an ethical programme that responds to the contemporary challenges of the relations between truth, representation and politics.
