Published: November 2024

This research aims to develop a prediction system for urban waste generation using the Incremental Linear Regression method on SIMASKOT. This method is applied to deal with the limitations of historical data, where the prediction results from the previous year are used as training data to predict the next year. The problem faced is the lack of sufficient data to create accurate and reliable prediction models in the long term. The purpose of this study is to improve the accuracy of waste generation prediction using an incremental regression approach. The experimental methodology involves the use of waste generation data from several waste categories during the period 2019 to 2022, which is then used to predict data until 2026. Model evaluation was carried out using the metrics Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and R². The results show that this incremental prediction model is able to provide more accurate predictions than conventional models, especially for more volatile waste categories such as wood twigs and metals. The conclusion of this study shows that the Incremental Linear Regression technique is effective to be used in waste generation prediction, and can be integrated in long-term prediction-based monitoring applications.

El riesgo crediticio es uno de los aspectos más críticos en la gestión financiera de las entidades que ofrecen productos y servicios de crédito, como las mutualistas. La capacidad de estas instituciones para identificar, gestionar y mitigar los riesgos asociados con la morosidad de sus clientes es crucial no solo para su sostenibilidad financiera, sino también para mantener la estabilidad del sistema financiero en su conjunto. En los últimos años, los avances tecnológicos y el acceso a grandes volúmenes de datos han permitido a las mutualistas y otras instituciones financieras adoptar técnicas avanzadas de modela-do para predecir y gestionar el riesgo crediticio de manera más efectiva.
Dentro de este contexto, el presente estudio tiene como objetivo desarrollar un modelo algorítmico que permita predecir el riesgo crediticio en mutualistas, basándose en dos variables fundamentales: la morosidad y el rendimiento financiero. La morosidad, entendida como el incumplimiento en el pago de las obligaciones crediticias, es un indicador clave de la calidad de la cartera crediticia de una entidad. Por otro lado, el rendimiento financiero refleja la capacidad de la entidad para generar ingresos y mantener su viabilidad a largo plazo. Ambos factores están estrechamente relacionados, y su análisis con-junto puede proporcionar una visión más precisa del riesgo crediticio que enfrenta una mutualista.
El enfoque adoptado en este estudio se basa en el uso de técnicas de aprendizaje automático, como la regresión con árboles de decisión, para modelar la relación entre la morosidad y el rendimiento financiero. Estas técnicas permiten no solo identificar patrones complejos en los datos, sino también generar predicciones precisas sobre el comportamiento futuro de los clientes y su probabilidad de incumplimiento. Además, el uso de algoritmos de aprendizaje automático facilita la integración de grandes volúmenes de datos, lo que permite a las mutualistas aprovechar al máximo la información disponible para tomar decisiones informadas y estratégicas.

The Safe Heaven Appeal of Gold: A Comparative Analysis of Gold Price and Nifty50 Index during Financial Crises
Authors:   Desh Bhagat University, Kumar G. Prasanna , Saluja Dr. Rajni ,   Desh Bhagat University
Published: November 2024

The historical view of gold as a trustworthy investment has made it a popular choice as a place of refuge resource during seasons of financial strife. This study looks at how the bullion market responds to financial crises and how the perceived safety of gold during a period of uncertainty affects market behaviour. This research looks at how gold prices, investor actions, and market liquidity have changed throughout various economic downturns, like the Coronavirus pandemic and the 2008 monetary emergency. The paper evaluates the effect of gold's safe-haven status on market performance and investor trust using both quantitative and qualitative methods. The findings show that although demand for gold rises during times of crisis, other factors like market speculation, fluctuations in interest rates, and changes in currency values also have an impact on price movements of gold. The study highlights the complex relationship that exists between the market dynamics of gold and its role as a protective asset, providing a comprehensive understanding of the metal's behaviour during financial instability. These findings offer insightful guidance for investors and policymakers navigating economic downturns and add to the larger discussion on asset diversification and risk management techniques.
The Ethics of Debate in Hadith Perspective: An Analysis of Abū al-Laith al-Samarqandī's Thoughts
Authors: Jordi Sulton , Lisalam Repa Hudan , Fatah Abdul
Published: November 2024

This study discusses the ethics of debate in the perspective of hadith by examining the thoughts of Abu Laith al-Samarqandiy in the book Bustān al-ʿĀrifīn. The background of this study focuses on the phenomenon of debate that often leads to hostility and division in society, especially when the debate aims to humiliate, dominate, or seek recognition. Abu Laith al-Samarqandiy emphasized that this attitude deviates from Islamic ethics that promotes unity and prevents stubbornness in arguing. This study uses a qualitative-descriptive method with text analysis to understand the ethical principles of debate in the view of hadith and al-Samarqandiy's thought. The results of the study show that debates aimed at maintaining the ego and bringing down the opponent are reprehensible behavior and even sinful if it results in interference for others. Islam requires a Muslim to avoid debate, even when on the right side, in order to maintain peace and harmony in the community.

Published: November 2024

Skin closure is a critical component of surgical procedures, and the selection of suture material has a significant impact on wound healing outcomes. This investigation aims to compare the effectiveness of absorbable and non-absorbable sutures for skin closure in rabbits. An experimental study was conducted on thirty (n=30) male rabbits aged 9.78+0.46 weeks and with an average weight of 1186.94+69.93 gms. Rabbits were divided into two groups, with one receiving absorbable sutures while the other received non-absorbable sutures. Wound healing parameters such as wound closure time, tensile strength, tissue reaction, and histological evaluation were evaluated over a specified period. Our findings suggest that both types of suture materials are effective in closing skin wounds in rabbits. However, absorbable sutures exhibited faster wound closure times and less tissue reaction compared to non-absorbable sutures. Conversely, non-absorbable sutures demonstrated higher tensile strength and better histological evaluations at the wound site. The results indicated significantly better wound healing with non-absorbable suture material than with absorbable suture material; indeed, there was an outstandingly high (++++) wound healing score when using non-absorbable suture material compared to that obtained from using absorbables. Moreover, rabbits recovered excellently from wounds treated with non-absorbables; thus demonstrating that choosing a specific type of suture material should be based on individual patient factors and requirements for each surgical procedure. Further studies are required to confirm these findings across larger animal models or human patients conclusively. In conclusion, it is evident that opting for non-absorbent materials results in expedited skin wound healing with superior outcomes when compared to their absorbent counterparts.

Stress ulcer presents acute lesion of gastric mucosa, which resulted from influence of different stressors: trauma,
shock, burns, drugs administration, various irritants etc. Since pathogenesis of stress ulcer is not completely clarified, the
most adequate therapy for the patients which suffer from it, is not defined yet. Esomeprazole is a S-isomer of omeprazole
and is the first inhibitor of proton pump synthesized as an isomer. Our aim was to test effects of esomeprazole, given during
pretreatment and posttreatment period, on progress of alcohol induced stress ulcer lesions. We had experiments on sexually
mature Wistar rats weight 200-250 g. Alcohol stress was induced by intragastric administration of 1 mL 96% alcohol.
Alcohol stress produced massive submucosal lesions in glandular part of stomach. Macroscopic lesions were verified
histologicaly. Intragastric pretreatment administration of esomeprazole (20 mg/kg BW) significantly (p<0,001) reduced gastric lesions. Intragastric post-treatment administration of esomeprazole (20 mg/kg BW) did not reduce gastric lesions. Esomeprazole (20 mg/kg BW) administrated in pretreatment period of alcohol induced stress significantly decreased dimensions of stress ulcer lesions in rats, while the same dose administrated in posttreatment period did not cause that effect.

Published: November 2024

Chronic appendicitis presents inflammation of appendix with atypical clinical findings, without significant signs
and symptoms. Because of that diagnosing chronic appendicitis presumes a great problem. Indications for operative treatment based on clinical impression are followed with a great number of unnecessary appendectomies. Barium enema can show morphlogic changes of appendix during its chronic inflammation. Our aim was to show values of barium enema in diagnosing chronic appendicitis. Study went prospectively, in period 1999-2001 on Clinic for abdominal and endocrine
surgery, Institute for surgery Novi Sad. It includes 100 patients with symptoms, 50 of them were operated after barium
enema, and other 50 were operated after clinical impression of surgeon. Each appendix was patohistologicaly examined.
Incidental appendectoies were exluded. Of total 1425 appendectomies in three years period, 100 were operatde because of chronic appendicitis. Fifty of them were operated after barium enema, and other 50 were operated after clinical impression of surgeon. Range of years was 15 59 in examined group with average 35,6 years. In control group range was 15 57, with average 32,9 years. Lasting of pain episode more than 12 hours had 94% of patients in examined group, and 72% of patients in control group had painn less than 24 hourrs. During of pain episodes at 92% of patients from examined group was 3 weeks to 12 months, and 86% of patients from control group had pain standing 3-36 weeks. The most common sign on barium enema was finding of coprolites in lumen (52%), followed with unfilled appendix (18%, angulations (10%), distal amputation (8%), segmentation of contrast (8%), and fixated appendix (4%). Intraoperative macroscopic findings were as followed: 40/50 coprolites in lumen, 7/50 fibrous bounds, and 3/50 fibroses of appendix. Patohistologicaly, chronic appendicitis was confirmed at 90% of patients in examined group, and 58% in control group. After surgery, 94% of patients from examined group don't feel the preoperative pain. Barium enema significantly increases of chronic appendicitis. It is non-invasive, and reliable method for showing morphologic changes of chronic appendix. Use of barium enema dereases number of unnecessary appendectomies. Barium enema is suggested for evaluation of patients with chronic pain in right lower quadrant of abdomen, and thereby for diagnosing of chronic appendicitis. 
"GOLD" GUIDELINES FOR THE TREATMENT OF AN ACUTE EXACERBATION OF CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE (COPD)
Authors: Andrejević I. , Trajković R.
Published: November 2024

The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) has emerged due to joint efforts and support of the American National Heart, Lung & Blood Institute and the World health Organisation, with the objective of enlightening the major issues regarding COPD, and reducing the morbidity and mortality rates of this disease. An exacerbation of respiratory symptoms requiring hospital treatment is a common clinical manifestation of COPD. The exacerbation is usually induced by an infection of the tracheobronchial tree or air pollution, but in about one third of severe exacerbations the cause remains obscure. Acute COPD exacerbations are effectively treated by the application of inhalatory bronchodilators (particularly β-agonists and/or anticholinergics), teophylline and systemic, especially oral glucocorticoids. The patients with COPD exacerbation presented with the clinical symptoms of a respiratory infection (e.g. increased volume and altered colour of the sputum and/or fever) may benefit from antibiotic treatment. Non-invasive Positive Pressure Ventilation (NPPV) in acute exacerbations may improve blood gases and pH levels, reduce intrahospital mortality and the need for applying invasive mechanical ventilation and intubation, shortening thus the hospital treatment duration

Myeloperoxidase (MPO), a heme enzyme present in the primary granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) participate in oxygen-dependent microbicidal activity of these cells. During the course of bacterial meningitis plenty of PMNs leave blood vessels and migrate to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space, and some of their MPO may become, extracellular. MPO activity in control CSF is low (Me = 0.5 U/L), comparing with patients CSF samples of all three groups of proteinorrachia where elevated values were found already on admission (3.5 U/L, 5.0 U/L and 12.0 U/L, respectively), with highest values found during second lumbal punction (5.5 U/L, 7.5 U/L and 14.0 U/L, respectively). Poor correlation was found between albumin quotient and MPO activity CSF/serum, but significant correlation between MPO in CSF and CSF PMNs count.

Artrial hypertension is a very serious social-medical probleme as such has an epidemic characteristics according to high prevalence at incidence frequency disease of young, a high death rate, there is also a somewhat difficult erly diagnosis at the early stages of illnes due to unspecified clinical examination in majority of diseased. On the basis of etiology, arterial hypertension is divived into: primary (essential) and secondary (symptomatologic). According to the current criteria, primary arterial hypertension is considered to be all the cases where etiology cannot identify only the cause or a specific structural change in a organ. It instead causes a larger number of etiological factors by their group actions which are called risk factors.Including the secondary hypertension all cases at arterial hypertension are classified und there can be seen a specific structural change in an organ and disorder of it's function. The aim of our work was to determinate which were the familiar risk factors in development of arterial hypertension and it's domination to inhabitants of Zubin Potok considering high prevalence of arterial hypertension out of 6500 inhabitants in the infirmary of Zubin Potok, 2450 patients are registrated with arterial hypertension. Examination is performed to 100 patients with primary arterial hypertension by prospectus analysis which are registrated consecutively in the interval of two months by biochemicals parametars, a height of systolic and dyastolic arterial pressure and BMI. By means of questionnaire the rest of risk factors are gathered with a piece of data smoking, alchoholism and stress. During the examination we determined that the most typics risk factor is disorder of metabolism of lypoproteins, and important pathothysiological mechanism in development of arterial hypertension is reduction of HDLcholesterol, which can be one of indirect indentifier of oxidative stress.

Endometrial carcinoma is still one of the most common malignant tumor of the female genital system in the most industrialized countries. Endometrial cancer is due to 3,9% of all female malignant tumors. The occurence of endometrial cancer varies with age. In 75% of all cases endometral carcinoma tipically occurs in postmenopausal women, with the highest incidence between 50 and 59 year. The high frequence of endometrial carcinoma in younger age is also found in women with ovarian estrogen-secreting tumors. About 10% of all endometrial carcinomas also in association with a genetic predisposition, but the most cases of endometrial carcinomas are sporadic. The most important prognostic factors for endometral carcinomas are: clinical stage, age, histopathological type and grade, as wel as hormonal receptors. Younger nulliparous women with early detected well-diferentiated endometrial carcinoma are usually treated by high doses of progesterone. Older women with endometrial carcinoma are usually treated by hysterectomy. Administration of postoperative radiation and chemiotherapy depends on clinical stage.

Scientific researches considering the effects of glucagon on cardiovascular system show that glucagon has a certain cardiostimulative potential. The fact that glucagon accomplishes its cardiostimulative effects by activating its own, highly specific glucagonic receptors is of most importance. That's the reason why we've wanted to give more details about the effects that glucagon has on cardiovascular system in terms of having more precise image of its effects on hemodynamics and changes which can be seen on electrocardiogram. The experiment included six dogs treated with intravenous glucagon injection. Electrocardiograph and hemodynamic parameters (middle arterial pressure, central venous pressure and heart st nd rd th th th th th frequency) have been recorded in 1 , 2 , 3 , 5 , 10 , 20 , 30 and 40 minute. Electrocardiograph and heart frequency have been recorded by continuous monitoring. Middle arterial pressure has been recorded through catheter placed into a. femoralis while central venous pressure has been recorded through central venous catheter placed into v. femoralis. Having received the intravenous injection, glucagon shows extremely positive chronotropic effect, followed by ephemeral increase of middle arterial pressure, while central venous pressure has a significant decrease. Having received intravenous injection, P-R, Q-Tand T-Pinterval have been significantly shorten.

Congnitive component was followed by means of question mark before first stomatologican intervention (by the standard scale of general anxiety). In the research participated 100 adolescents. On the basis of analysis of question-marks, examinees were distributed into three groups: normal, pathological and increasingly anxious. On the occasion of third stomatological intervention, the patients obtained placebo (vitamine C, half tablet, orally, 30 minutes before the initiation of stomatological interventions which were identical, i.e. the sanation of deep caries has been carried out). The motorical component (entering the dentist's office, sitting down in a dentis chair and tonning of muscles) were appraised by the method of clinical observations. All parameters were measured before all three stomatological interventions. In this study, in parameters measured by clinical observation the number of questioned people who enter and sit down voluntarily, has increased and the number of people who are showing the signs of tension and who shiver has decreased, at using of placebo therapy.

The middle of last century it was established that the increased value registered fibrinogen in patients with coronary disease, hypertension, peripheral artery disease, patients with diabetes mellitus. Fibrinogen also participate in the earliest stages of atherosclerosis.Task of our research was to compare the level of fibrinogen in patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications, and manifested in patients with apparent chronic complications as well as the correlation of fibrinogen with the parameters of metabolic control. Included 64 respondents, a close age divided into 4 groups: control group, people of type 2 diabetes mellitus without complications, people with microvascular complications, and people with macrovascular complications.The highest average value of fibrinogen in the blood we had in the group with diabetes mellitus without complications (3.47±0.26 g/l) and the lowest mean value in the control group (2.87±0.15 g/l). It is a test of correlation showed a strong correlation with the value of fibrinogen level of development of chronic complications.

It is well known that intensive physical activity increase the production of reactive species of O and N (RONS), but 2 it is also known that moderate and regular physical activity has influence on antioxidative system adaptation and help in repairing process of oxidative damage. In this paper we estimated markers of lipid peroxidation (MDA, % ind MDA), and antioxidant status (Asc, DHA/A, GSH, CAT, Pex) for 30 students (control group), and 30 professional football players (regular intensive physical activity). In the group of professional sportsman there were significant increase of lipid peroxidation markers (MDA ↑, % ind MDA ↑), which was also followed by an increased antioxidant activity (Asc ↑, DHA/A ↑, GSH ↑, Pex ↑, CAT ≈). We can conclude that chronic physical activity significantly improves antioxidant status using the adaptation process.

NAION is a stroke of the optic nerve. It is acute ischemic disorder of the optic nerve head, which it runs, irreversible loss of vision. Loss of vision in NAION happens suddenly and without pain, usually in morning hours, after waking up.The existence of normal visual acuity does not exclude NAION. The other eye may be affected in a very wide time interval. Results of this stady indicate the importance of a detailed ophthalmologic examination of persons older population, as well as the importance of early intensive therapy during the first weeks of illness.

Chronic pulmonary heart (HPS) stands for presence of right ventricular hypertrophy with or without right ventricular failure, arising as a consequence of chronic bronchial diseases, lung, pulmonary artery, or severe deformation of the thoracic skeleton. Excludes the pulmonary hypertension as a result of heart disease of left cavities, and congenital heart disease. During the evolution of chronic pulmonary heart, distinguished three stages: a) uncomplicated pneumopathology, b) compensated chronic pulmonary heart and c) decompensated chronic pulmonary heart. Lung ventilation is the process of moving air from the external environment to the alveolar and back, and its ultimate aim is alveolar ventilation space. This process takes place through active action - inspirium and passive - expirium, which causes the lungs to the basic position of rest. The disorders of ventilation lung function can be obstructive and restrictive, and there are often mixed forms with predominantly obstructive or predominantly restrictive pulmonary function disorder. These disorders were particularly expressed in patients with chronic decompensated pulmonary heart, what indicates this work. We studied 40 patients and found low values of vital capacity (VC) and forced exspirium volume in the first second (FEV ), with normal values of 1 Tiffeneau index, which speaks to the fact that respondents with decompensated chronic pulmonary heart have mixed ventilation insufficienty, ìainly restricted type heavy degree.

Asthma is one of the oldest diseases although it's etiopathogenesis has been explained in more details recently. It is very commin in the general population, and especially in children's population. Lately, the rising trend of asthma is the result of the increased exposure of children to unfavourable environmental factors such as air pollutants and "new" allergens in the course of 20 to 30 years. Asthma is multifactorial disease, the interaction of many factors is responsible for its inception and deterioration. Our research included 95 children having allergic asthma and 40 children having nonallergic asthma. All examinees were interviewed by means of epidemiological questionnaire on risk factors. In that way, basic demographic data, data concerning predisposing, causal and contributing risk factors for asthma inception were gathered. The average age of children having allergic asthma was 11.18 years, and the ones having nonallergic asthma were 14.25 years. In regard to gender structure of those having asthma, asthma is more common in the case of male population (65%). The risk for allergic asthma inception is increased by air pollutants, respiratory infections, and increased level of serum IgE. The biggest relative risk is found for the increased levels of serum IgE (OP=5.839), allergy to medicines. Those are variables which increase the risk for allergic asthma inception. The above mentioned variables are predicative factors for atopy inception.

One of leading causes of death in the world is stroke, more often it strikes population under the age of 65, and those who survive it are left with a maximum degree of invalidity. Supratentorial infarcts are the most common form of ACM, occuring as a consequence of blood vessel occlusion, which irrigation zone is above tentorium, and it appears in 80% of infarcts. Diagnosing of such infarcts is based on clinical and neuroradiological parameters, and computed tomografy is called "gold standard". Therefor, our goal was to introduce a CT parameters, which follow complications of supratentorial infarcts and have predictional character. A prospective study followed the state of 60 patients with supratentorial infarcts of brain, performed CT diagnostics, established infarct complication parameters and their effects on clinical state and diseases outcome. Large tentorial infarcts in ACM vascularisation zone, mass-effects and mediosagital structure motions are significant predictors of infarct ill outcome when it comes to surviving and functional recovery.

Combustion are hypothermic injuries that can occur due to the contact with electricity, chemicals, dry heat, hot liquid and gas, and radiation. In this work there is a 52 year old patient that was treated from combustion on her both feet and her lower legs. Previously, she was treated as an outpatient in a period of 30 days. For the first time in our department we used hydrofiber bandage with Aquacel Ag silver in treating combustion on patient's diabetic foot. These bandages are impregnated with silver that has antimicrobial effect on a huge variety of bacteria. It soaks in a big amount of liquid and bacteria and it helps in removing necrotic tissue from the wound making autolysis debridement. The patient was treated for 35 days on general surgery department. She was released from the hospital in good general condition and with neat local finding.

Without a knowledge of how drugs are being prescribed and used, it is difficult to suggest measures that would support rational use of drugs and improve prescribing habits in hospitals. In our work we analyzed utilization of antibiotics for systemic use at the Surgical Clinic of the Clinical Hospital Centre - Pristina in Gracanica in 2007. and 2008. on the basis of dispensing records of drugs issued from the Central Pharmacy to the Surgical Clinic for those two years. Antibiotics were distributed according to ATC classification, and antibiotics' utilisation was expressed in number of defined daily doses used per 100 patient-days (DDDs/100 PD). We analized qualitative and quantitative participation of different groups of antibacterials for systemic use. Òhe results of our study were in accordance with available results of similar studies in our country and in the neighbouring environment

Published: November 2024

Acute instable atherosclerotic plate in the basis of the pathophysiology of the acute coronary syndrome and it is divided on two big groups: a) acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation (NONSTEMI) and b) myocardial infarction with ST elevation (STEMI). Clopidogrel belongs to the group of antiaggregation drugs which inhibit ADP receptors and on that way prevent platelets aggregation. The clinical confirmation of the clopidogrel efficiency is confirmed trough 4 big clinical studies: CAPRIE, CURE, COMMIT/CCS 2 and CLARITY-TIMI 28 studies. In CAPRIE study, clopidogrel showed moderate but significant advantage comparing to aspirin in prevention of the secondary ischemic cerebrovascular stroke and myocardial infarction. The results of CURE study showed that doubled combined therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin brought the reduction of the relative risk of cardiovacular events with patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation. The results of this study showed that the group of patients which received clopidogrel beside aspirin and thrombolytic therapy it came to the reduction of the occluded arteries. In COMMIT were also involved the patients with the acute myocardial infarction with ST elevation. Total number of lethal cases of the repeated myocardial infarctions or acute brain stroke was smaller in a group which was receiving clopidogrel beside thrombolytic therapy and aspirine in comparison with the placebo group. The results of CLARITY and COMMIT studies gave us recommendation that patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST elevation which have thrombolytic therapy or percutaneous coronary intervention should receive clopidogrel as well.
