Comparative analysis of ICICIGC and UIIGC
Authors: Dr. Abhisek Yadav
Published: September 2023

Due to the fact that the time range of the study falls within the post-liberalization period, the analyses are exclusively restricted to the open market environment. UIIGC, a select public sector firm, is an established participant in the field of general insurance. It has a history that spans years, making it comparable to ICICIGC, a company that operates in the private sector. ICICIGC, being a firm that belongs to the private sector, has conducted its commercial activities with extreme caution ever since the year it was established. The entirety of the corporation is owned by private stockholders, while a foreign direct investment contributes 26% of the total capital. In spite of the significant amount of time that has passed since the company first began for business, it has not established any overseas branch offices in any country. Initially, it focused on inland business that was associated with auto insurance, but it has now shifted its attention to other classes of insurance in an effort to strategically expand the number of premiums that it collects. As a direct result of this, the company's operational profits have been growing at a faster rate than the operating profits of its competitors. Because of its corporate philosophy, the UIIGC has never attempted to sell cutting-edge or socially relevant insurance products to its customers.
EFFECT OF PHYSICO-CHEMICAL POLLUTION OF RIVER DEORANIA ON THE METABOLIC ACTIVITIES OF PREDATORY FISH, CHANNA PUNCTATUS AT DISTRICT BAREILLY (U.P.) INDIA
Authors: SURENDER PAL GANGWAR
Published: September 2023

The present study was aimed at assessing the value of different physicochemical parameters of two sites (i.e. site A is clear and considered a control site while site B is loaded with heavy pollution so it is considered as experimental site) during December 2005-2006 and 2020-2021 in extreme months of different seasons. The analysis showed that the discharge of a major part of domestic wastes of Bareilly City, city refuge, debris, animal and human excreta and industrial effluents, enhanced the pollution load at site B and thereby enhanced the abnormal metabolic activities of fish. Whereas at clear site A the metabolic activities of fish were normal. In the present study, the following parameters i.e. temperature, colour, transparency, dissolved oxygen (DO), free CO2, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), salinity, total dissolved solids (TDS), level of glycogen, reducing sugar level, total protein level, level of amino acids, activity of alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase enzymes were analysed.

Authors: Akhilesh Tiwari
Published: September 2023

In this era of science and technology, education determines human welfare. In any democratic society, decisions are taken by the citizens in the form of voters through which they convey their feelings to the government and officials. In this era of scientific progress, scientific literacy is essential. In the absence of proper knowledge of science and technology, a person expresses his thoughts bound by fear and superstitions. In the present study, the attitude of class 11 students towards chemistry was studied. Survey method has been used in the study. As a sample, 50 students of class 11 of Shahjahanpur district were selected through lottery method. A self-made ‘Chemistry Aptitude Scale’ was used as an instrument. Mean, standard deviation and t-test were used to analyze the data. The study concluded that male students were found to have more attitude towards chemistry than female students and urban students were found to have more attitude towards chemistry than rural students.
Redox Stress Burden of Trace Metals on Environmentally Dependent Ecosystem
Authors: Okolo Kenneth
Published: September 2023

Contamination of the environment by trace metals (TMs) has become a global health challenge. Some of these metals are found in some food substances in minute quantities as a normal part of nutrition. Excessive exposure of living organisms to these metals poses’ a great risk to the health of the living organisms. Once in the environment, these metals are not biodegradable and last for a long time. Their contamination of the environment leads to contamination of the ecosystem, which intricately depends on the environment. Normal physiological processes of the living organisms in these ecosystems are distorted following the dysregulation of their redox system. An imbalance in the ecosystem’s redox state led to damage to living organisms. There is an increase in mortality and morbidity, diversification is compromised, the genetic makeup of organisms is altered and over time the whole ecosystem becomes compromised. Several bioremediation techniques have been of valuable assistance in reverting this ugly trend. How well these remediation works could revert the damage and restore the ecosystems will be a measure of their survival, including all the dependent organisms and man.

Published: September 2023

Value chain related theories evolve over time in response to critique and their own conceptual development. In addition, they are ways of assessing the real world (theoretical frameworks); generating explanations about market development practice, and provide the opportunity for comparison over space and time. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the theoretical literature on theoretical underpinnings of value chain analysis. The approach used has been a sort of desktop review which involved collection of important secondary data to corroborate facts and to understand key issues pertinent to the theories was fundamental. After a search for literature, the review employed a method known as content analysis. The review result showed that the theories regarding value chain analysis intended, in time, by simplifying the reality or image to comprehend the phenomena with the purpose of their forecasting. In addition, the theories presented an increased concern, irrespective of the place where they were developed, but also, they stirred some critics. Moreover, it is the belief of this book chapter that it is intended to serve as both a summary of the state of the field and an overview reference for users.
Perspective Chapter: Environmental Impact of Modern Permanent Magnets
Authors: Hassan Belqees
Published: September 2023

Modern permanent magnets, such as neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) and samarium-cobalt (SmCo), have revolutionized many industries due to their high magnetic strength and stability. However, the production and disposal of modern permanent magnets have significant environmental impacts that must be addressed. To minimize these impacts, it is important to reduce our reliance on rare earth elements by developing alternative materials or improving recycling technologies. Because when modern permanent magnets reach the end of their useful life, they are often disposed of in landfills or incinerated. This can lead to the leaching of toxic metals into the environment or the release of harmful gases into the atmosphere. So, proper disposal methods should be implemented to prevent contamination of soil, water sources, and air. This chapter will explore the potential environmental impacts of modern permanent magnets, including their production, use, and disposal. It will also provide recommendations for minimizing these impacts.
Possible Applications of Modern Aqueous Homogeneous Reactors
Authors: Shaker Ahmed
Published: September 2023

This chapter describes the potential of the aqueous homogeneous reactor, briefing readers on the physics and history of the subject, whilst providing both current and possible future applications for this reactor technology. These reactors were some of the first nuclear reactors ever constructed, and provided valuable information on critical mass and other nuclear physical properties on fissile solutions. The compact nature of these reactors, combined with their inherent safety characteristics, have made them attractive for the generation of medical radioisotopes and neutrons for experimentation. However, material corrosion issues and advanced development of solid-fuelled light water reactors would curtail much interest in the technology in the 50’s. Although operating temperatures of this type of reactor are usually low, even such low temperature heat is useful in process and industry; such a reactor can be used for environmentally-friendly district heating or the supply of process heat in industry, and could even be used to produce hydrogen. With modern advances in physics and chemistry, and disruptions in conventional energy sources; such reactors in their modern form may serve an important role: supplying various energy demands that could be derived from nuclear power, but may not require more advanced and costly reactor technologies.
Participation as a Core Principle of Community Health Promotion: General Account and Examples
Authors: Trojan Alf , Lorentz Christian , Nickel Stefan
Published: September 2023

One of the key principles of the Ottawa Charta is participation. Community health interventions should involve the community, i.e., residents and local actors. In Hamburg, we tried to put this principle into practice during a project initiated by the municipal health service in a disadvantaged quarter with about 3000 inhabitants. The contribution starts with an account of the meaning of participation in health promotion (1) and gives an overview of participation methods in general (2). The next part contains a short account of our project (3). Five examples are presented in part four: a survey with key actors and two approaches to listening to residents’ perceptions of capacity building in the neighborhood. Another survey of residents was meant to explore the use of health promotion offers and the preparedness to get involved. The last example is the round table of local actors as a sort of steering committee for health promotion interventions (4). Key findings of the examples are: Surveys do result in valuable information for the local actors. The expressed willingness to participate is larger than the actual participation. Opportunities to participate (in surveys and at the round table) are welcome by local actors. In the last section we discuss the advantages, problems and some illusions concerning participation in health promotion (5).
Sepsis and Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF): Exploring the Complex Connection
Authors: Saylav Bora Ejder
Published: September 2023

In recent studies, brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) become a very important position. Because it is now known that it is not just a hormone that is released from the hippocampus and which supports the differentiation and growth of newly formed nerve cells and synapses while maintaining the vitality of existing neurons. Today BDNF was used as an indicator of severe sepsis and also in the follow-up of the disease. Moreover, BDNF is a potential anti-inflammatory agent which can be given like a medicament. In some studies, antiinflammatory effect was proven “in acute lung injury, in myocardial injury, in hepatorenal injury” triggered by sepsis. In this chapter, we will try to explain the BDNF effect in sepsis according to recent literature and update our knowledge.
Prevention of Corneal Injury in Critically Ill Sedated and Mechanically Ventilated Patients: Theoretical and Evidence-Based Practice
Authors: R. do Prado Patricia , R.E. Gimenes Fernanda
Published: September 2023

Any prolonged loss of consciousness due to sedation in critically ill patients may result in eye injuries which may go unnoticed as the patient cannot express his/her reduced vision or pain. Loss of blinking movement and eyelid malocclusion can cause some eye injuries as keratopathies and ulcers, which are the most common eye injuries in these patients. In at-risk patients (intubated and ventilated), screening for corneal injuries should be carried out using a fluorescein test. Protection of the cornea depends on its moisturization, which itself depends on eyelid closure, blinking, and the quality of the aqueous film present on the cornea. These protective components are regularly reduced in critically ill patients. Some cohort studies indicate that the peak incidence of corneal injuries occurs after first-week admission in critically ill patients. In intubated and ventilated patients, an eye gel and polyethylene chamber are the most effective interventions to prevent corneal injuries.
The Role of Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor in Autism Spectrum Disorder: Current Findings and Future Directions
Authors: Alper Erdogan Mumin , Erbas Oytun
Published: September 2023

Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is a crucial neurotrophic factor that plays an essential role in neuroplasticity and neurodevelopment. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder that affects social interaction, communication, and behavior. The relationship between BDNF and ASD has been studied extensively, with conflicting results. While some studies suggest that decreased BDNF levels may contribute to the development of ASD, others do not confirm this finding. The effects of BDNF on synaptic plasticity and cognitive functions have also been investigated, with some studies indicating that BDNF may be associated with impairments in learning, memory, and attention in individuals with ASD. Additionally, physical exercise and cognitive and behavioral therapies may help alleviate ASD symptoms by increasing BDNF levels and enhancing neuroplasticity. Further research is needed to better understand the mechanisms underlying the relationship between BDNF and ASD and to develop more effective treatment strategies for individuals with ASD.
Alternative Flap-Based Breast Reconstruction: The PAP Flap
Authors: Borrero Michael , Allen Robert , St. Hilaire Hugo
Published: September 2023

The profunda artery perforator flap, like many perforator-based flaps in breast reconstruction, has evolved from its initial introduction more than a decade ago. It is considered by many to be the priority alternative flap when abdominal flaps are unavailable. Several configurations of the flap may be utilized routinely, making this flap particularly versatile for mild-moderate volume breast reconstruction. Additionally, as reconstructive microsurgeons become more adept, they strive to achieve an esthetically pleasing breast in the first stage. The PAP flap is particularly suited for this endeavor, as its ability to be contoured to simulate a natural breast mound at time of inset is impressive.
Analysis and Characterization of Lignocellulosic Biomass Extracted from Selected Agricultural Wastes
Authors: Elijah Fadeyi Adewale , Olatunbosun Akiode Saheed
Published: September 2023

Agricultural wastes are a viable source of lignocellulosic biomass for biofuel production. Precise biomass characterization is required to assess the new potential lignocellulose biosource. This study assesses the characterization and compositional analysis of three agricultural wastes (melon husk, moringa pod, and mango endocarp) obtained from Sheda Village, Federal Capital Territory of Abuja, Nigeria. Gravimetric method was used to assess the samples’ lignocellulose biomass composition and they were further characterized using FTIR. The findings indicated that hemicellulose content ranged from 19.38 to 27.74%, with melon husk having the highest concentration. The highest concentration of cellulose was found in the mango endocarp (45.84%). Melon husk possesses the highest lignin content (29.87%). FTIR spectroscopic examination revealed a broad spectrum around 3422.85 cm−1, which represented bonded -OH groups. A peak observed at around 1637 cm−1 is attributed to the stretching of C=C bonds in conjugated carboxylic acids. Peaks, obtained at 1205.72, 1204.50, and 1206.24 cm−1, reveal the vibrations of the aliphatic chains, ∙CH2- and ∙CH3, which constitute the fundamental structure of cellulose material. The findings demonstrate that the samples contain a sizable amount of lignocellulosic biomass. Therefore, wastes generated from agricultural wastes may be useful in the production of biofuel.
Hybrid Energy Storage Systems in Electric Vehicle Applications
Authors: Ibanez Federico
Published: September 2023

This chapter presents hybrid energy storage systems for electric vehicles. It briefly reviews the different electrochemical energy storage technologies, highlighting their pros and cons. After that, the reason for hybridization appears: one device can be used for delivering high power and another one for having high energy density, thus large autonomy. Different energy storage devices should be interconnected in a way that guarantees the proper and safe operation of the vehicle and achieves some benefits in comparison with the single device storage system source. The chapter shows different topologies for interconnecting electrochemical technologies: passive, semi-active, and full-active, clarifying their benefits and drawbacks. The chapter concludes with a case study, an electric motorcycle, which is ridded using an urban profile. There, the hybridization was performed to extend its cycle life.
Estudio longitudinal de la dirección estratégica de comunicación de la Casa de SM el Rey (2011 -2021): Del consenso a la transparencia
Authors: García-Fernandez M Dolores
Published: September 2023

El papel de las relaciones públicas en la gestión de la comunicación es innegable ya que permite una correcta relación con los públicos de una organización. Así, esta gestión debe ser estratégica como ha sido señalado por numerosos investigadores en la disciplina. Y en el ámbito institucional todavía es más complejo por la relevancia social de las instituciones. Este estudio explora la evolución las estrategias comunicativas y las herramientas adoptadas por la Casa de SM el Rey del año 2011 a 2021 con el objetivo de comprobar si ha existido o no una evolución en el uso de estrategias y herramientas de comunicación y relaciones públicas. Se analizan dos etapas. La primera, en la que la Jefatura del Estado corresponde a D. Juan Carlos I (2011- 2014) y la segunda etapa, que corresponde a D. Felipe VI (2014-2021). Se ha realizado un análisis de contenido denoticias relacionadas con la Casa de SM el Rey en los principales diarios nacionales por difusión y de los actos oficiales y los comunicados de prensa difundidos a través de la web oficial de Casa Real. Además, se han realizado entrevistas en profundidad con expertos en la materia, así como a su anterior responsable de comunicación, D. Javier Ayuso. Los resultados de la investigación apuntan a un doble cambio estratégico en la gestión de la comunicación: a) De carácter estratégico. La comunicación es más proactiva y trata de mostrar una imagen de transparencia y gestión correcta de lo público. La Institución ha pasado de tener como mensajes comunicativos “la concordia, reconciliación, convivencia y consenso” a los de “honestidad, transparencia económica, cercanía y modernización”. b) De carácter formal. Se trata de establecer una comunicación bidireccional con sus públicos, modernizando sus herramientas de comunicación, sin embargo, se percibe aún un control unidireccional del mensaje en las plataformas digitales lo que no facilita en mayor medida, esa cercanía con las nuevas generaciones.
Análisis de la implementación de la Norma Oficial Mexicana-035 y de las estrategias de comunicación utilizadas al interior de una empresa privada
Authors: Barroso Camiade Cristina , Pérez-Castrejón Eva María
Published: September 2023

La entrada en vigor de la Norma Oficial Mexicana-035 (NOM-035) generó un cúmulo de necesidades de información en las organizaciones públicas y privadas para explicar tanto a los líderes como a los colaboradores el objetivo, propósito, alcance y beneficio de la norma, además de saber cuáles son las consecuencias por no cumplirla, así como las obligaciones de cada uno de ellos al interior de estas organizaciones. Lo anterior, provocó la necesidad de estudiar este fenómeno para entender la forma en qué fue implementada la NOM-035 al interior de una organización y conocer las estrategias de comunicación que fueron diseñadas para darla a conocer, ya que solo llevando mensajes claros a los diferentes públicos de la organización se podrá dar una pronta adopción de la norma que se traduzca en su rápida puesta en práctica. Se propuso el uso de una metodología de investigación cualitativa, con un diseño fenomenológico utilizando como técnica la entrevista semi estructurada focalizada para poder describir y analizar el fenómeno a través de los sujetos que lo vivieron para comprender la forma en cómo lo experimentaron y los significados que le dieron. Es necesaria la estrategia transversal para tener mayor claridad sobre acciones a realizar y el mensaje a comunicar y así provocar beneficios que son resultado de la comunicación.

Published: September 2023

La notoriedad es uno de los principales criterios necesarios en una estrategia, que pretende promover la reputación institucional de una organización, con el fin de alcanzar una imagen positiva entre las audiencias y, en consecuencia, reinvertir ese capital en el logro de sus objetivos organizacionales. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar una propuesta de estrategia de comunicación específica para revertir el bajo índice de notoriedad de la Comunidad Intermunicipal de Beiras y Serra da Estrela (CIMBSE), fundamentada en los resultados del análisis de contenido de las noticias en línea de los medios de comunicación de los 15 municipios que conforman el territorio en cuestión. Los resultados indican que las actividades en el eje "Patrimonio cultural" son las que tienen más probabilidades de hacer llegar mensajes a la mayor cantidad de personas interesadas; y con la mayor posibilidad de generar recuerdos de marca asociados positivos en los públicos, factor fundamental para que la notoriedad se asocie a una imagen institucional positiva.
Costoclavicular Brachial Plexus Block Facilitates Painless Upper Extremity Reduction: A Case Report
Authors: Townsend Reeves M. , O'Neil Katherine , Slesinger Todd L.
Published: September 2023

Introduction: The costoclavicular brachial plexus block (CCBPB) has emerged as a more effective approach to regional anesthesia of the upper extremity. The costoclavicular space is the anterior portion of the superior thoracic aperture, located between the clavicle and ﬁrst rib. The brachial plexus cords traverse this space clustered together in a superﬁcial location lateral to the axillary artery and share a consistent topographical relationship to one another. By targeting the brachial plexus at this speciﬁc anatomical location, the CCBPB offers a powerful, single-shot, sensorimotor block of the upper extremity below the shoulder. We present a novel application of the CCBPB to facilitate emergency department (ED) analgesia and closed reduction of an upper extremity fracture.Case Report: A 25-year-old male presented to the ED with a traumatic Colles fracture sustained during a high-speed motor vehicle collision. Despite multimodal analgesia, the patient reported intractable severe pain with intolerance of radial manipulation. An ultrasound-guided CCBPB was performed to augment pain control and avoid procedural sedation, resulting in dense, surgical anesthesia of the upper extremity, and painless fracture reduction.Conclusion: Regional anesthesia is an effective component of multimodal pain management and another tool in the emergency physician’s analgesic armamentarium. In acute orthopedic traumas necessitating emergent reduction, regional blocks serve as rescue pain control and can obviate the need for procedural sedation. In terms of targeted upper extremity analgesia, the CCBPB offers effective, single-shot, sensorimotor blockade below the shoulder, mitigating use of opioids and their deleterious side effects, while simultaneously avoiding incomplete blockade or phrenic nerve palsy associated with other approaches to brachial plexus blockade.

Authors: Breland Moddie , Venturella Karen , Shapiro Steven
Published: September 2023

The sudden closure of library buildings and physical spaces due to the pandemic spurred academic librarians to devise new ways to support students, most of whom continued their studies remotely. How did individual academic libraries respond to this health emergency, and what did the library professionals learn from the experience? This case study compares the lessons learned at three academic libraries during this unprecedented time. The three academic libraries are a medium size community college (Union College of Union County, NJ), a small private college (Mercy College, Dobbs Ferry, NY), and a large state university (Montclair State University, NJ). The initial plan was to compare each institution's pre- and post-COVID-19 periods. However, it is difficult to ascertain whether a post-COVID-19 state has been achieved. As a result, this case study will focus on the successful and not so successful strategies and the temporary measures instituted in response to the health crisis.
Thinking Outside the Dyad: Incorporating Cohort-Based Experiences into Mentorship
Authors: Yon Angela , Allbaugh Grace , Franzen Susan R.
Published: September 2023

A benefit of the traditional one-to-one, hierarchical mentoring relationship is the individualized attention and guidance the mentor provides the mentee. This singular mentoring relationship can be effective but is not always sufficient in addressing institutional acculturation and meeting personal needs of the new employee. This paper discusses how an emergent mentoring program at Milner Library blended the dyadic mentoring relationship with cohort-based programming to create a space for participants to learn from colleagues across departments, share experiences, and consider psychosocial issues. These grassroots programming efforts have cultivated holistic engagement and renewed community.

The regulation about child protection in the broadcasting services providers sometimes conflicts with the freedom of speech principles. Limiting children's exposure to harmful content that may affect their future is also part of the public interest principles in the communication policy. Indonesia regulates child protection in broadcasting through National Regulation (Undang-Undang) No 32 the year 2002 and there is also guidance about broadcasting behavior and broadcasting program quality. However, the regulation has several limitations, as there are several programs such as infotainment, drama, and others that do not specifically regulate children's protection. Compared to the comprehensive regulation in the United Kingdom, and specified regulation for children's classification programs In Australia, there was huge homework that Indonesia needs to catch up, on to ensure child protection is being mainstream in the broadcasting industry; especially television.

Multinomial logistic regression approach for the evaluation of binary diagnostic test in medical research
Authors: Dwivedi Alok Kumar , Mallawaarachchi Indika , Figueroa-Casas Juan B. , Morales Angel M. , Tarwater Patrick
Published: September 2023

Evaluating the effect of variables on diagnostic measures (sensitivity, specificity, positive, and negative predictive values) is often of interest to clinical researchers. Logistic regression (LR) models can be used to predict diagnostic measures of a screening test. A marginal model framework using generalized estimating equation (GEE) with logit/log link can be used to compare the diagnostic measures between two or more screening tests. These individual modeling approaches to each diagnostic measure ignore the dependency among these measures that might affect the association of covariates with each diagnostic measure. The diagnostic measures are computed using joint distribution of screening test result and reference test result which generates a multinomial response data. Thus, multinomial logistic regression (MLR) is a more appropriate approach to modeling these diagnostic measures. In this study, the validity of LR and GEE approaches as compared to MLR model was assessed for modeling diagnostic measures. All methods provided unbiased estimates of diagnostic measures in the absence of any covariate. LR and GEE methods produced more biased estimates as compared to MLR approach especially for small sample size studies. No bias was obtained in predicting sensitivity measure using MLR method for one screening test. Our proposed MLR method is robust for modeling diagnostic measures of a screening test as opposed to LR method. MLR method and GEE method produced similar estimates of diagnostic measures for comparing two screening tests in large sample size studies. The proposed MLR model for diagnostic measures is simple, and available in common statistical software. Our study demonstrates that MLR method should be preferred as an alternative for modeling diagnostic measures.
Analysis of convergence of European regions with the use of composite index
Authors: Górna Joanna , Górna Karolina
Published: September 2023

Convergence study is related to several crucial issues. One of those problems is an individual character of every region in the selected area, as the regions established accordingly to the European classification system NUTS-2 are not homogeneous. Therefore, while analysing convergence in the European Union, regions with extremely dissimilar characteristics (for example GDP per capita) are taken under consideration. Absolute ß-convergence means that all of the investigated regions tend to the same level of economic growth. Thus, among the regions with highly differential amounts of the examined variables the convergence hypothesis can be rejected. Due to the heterogeneity in the conducted investigation a classification based on the composite index will be used so that the convergence clubs could be established. Several approaches to convergence will be used according to those regimes. Moreover, there will be an attempt to indicate the determinants that differentiate the selected regions, such as: expenditure on R&D, HRST, quantity of patents, employment, participation of people in tertiary education among all employees. This will allow the analysis of conditional ß-convergence to be conducted. In the investigation some methods and models offered by the spatial statistics and econometrics will be used. There are empirical proofs that geographical location has a great impact on the processes of economic growth. Consequently, spatial dependencies will be analysed as well.

Examination of the energy situation is essential, especially for countries that are dependent on foreign Energy terms of Energy. Energy consumption, which increases indirectly with population and technology, needs to be evaluated in the short, medium, and long term. Energy projections are one of the most critical issues in the development planning of states. In this study, the population and energy status of the Kütahya province of Turkey were examined in detail, and the population and Energy projections were evaluated. While reviewing the population projection, predictions have been prepared depending on the population changes of the last five years, the last ten years, the last 15 years, and the previous 20 years, together with the projection prepared by the Turkish Statistical Institute. While preparing the electrical energy consumption projection of Kütahya province, evaluations were made according to three different scenarios prepared by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources of the Republic of Turkey. Accordingly, the electricity consumption of Kütahya province in 2039; has been determined as 2.71 billion kWh according to the 1st scenario, 2.96 billion kWh according to the 2nd scenario, and 3.27 billion kWh according to the 3rd scenario.

This study aims to present a comparative analysis of existing (state-of-the-art) deep learning models to identify early detection of brain tumor disease using MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) images. For this purpose, GoogleNet, Mobilenetv2, InceptionV3, and Efficientnet-b0 deep learning models were coded on the Matlab platform and used to detect and classify brain tumor disease. Classification has been carried out on the common Glioma, Meningioma, and Pituitary brain tumors. The dataset includes 7022 brain MRI images in four different classes, which are shared publicly on the Kaggle platform. The dataset was pre-processed and the models were fine-tuned, and appropriate parameter values were used. When the statistical analysis results of the deep learning models we compared were evaluated, the results of Efficientnet-b0 (%99.54), InceptionV3 (%99.47), Mobilenetv2 (%98.93), and GoogleNet (%98.25) were obtained, in the order of success. The study results are predicted to be useful in offering suggestions to medical doctors and researchers in the relevant field in their decision-making processes. In particular, it offers some advantages regarding early diagnosis of the disease, shortening the diagnosis time, and minimizing human-induced errors.
The identity of the judgment and charge in criminal procedure: Jurisprudence of domestic courts
Authors: Živanović Katarina
Published: September 2023

Achieving the identity of the judgment and the charge in criminal proceedings, represents the assumption of the realization of the accusatory principle, as well as the realization of fundamental rights of the accused, such as the right to defense, the right to a fair trial. In order to be able to say that in a specific case there is congruence between the judgment and the charge, it is necessary that identity has been achieved both in the subjective and in the objective sense. The above compliances are regulated by the Code of Criminal Procedure of the Republic of Serbia, Art. 420. The legislator points to the importance of achieving the subjective and objective identity of the judgment and charge by prescribing the violation of the said identity as an absolutely essential violation of the provisions of the criminal procedure. In this way, the legislator provided additional protection, first of all, to the individual interest, that is, the position of the defendant in criminal proceedings. As it is a very important questio facti criminal procedural issue, which is regulated by the general clause, it is extremely important to establish in which cases the identity of the judgment and charge is violated. For the purpose of establishing such cases, as well as their grouping according to relevant criteria, research was carried out, which included the analysis of a significant number of decisions of domestic courts-qualitative research approach. Also, in order to determine in which cases the subjects of legal remedies indicated in their appeals the existence of a violation of the identity of the judgment and charge, empirical research was carried out of a certain number of decisions of the High Court in Belgrade and the Court of Appeal in Belgrade-quantitative research approach.
Role and significance of safety management in civil aviation
Authors: Stefanović Aleksandra , Antić Lazar
Published: September 2023

Civil aviation safety management is imposed as an imperative in modern circumstances characterized by increasing safety risks, challenges and threats. Ability to manage it is reflected in anticipating potential sources of threats, timely creation of adequate responses and ensuring that these responses are implemented in the system by means of recommendations, rules and procedures. This paper provides a systematic insight into the vital importance of a safety mindset in civil aviation through theoretical considerations of safety management and by describing the role and importance of safety risk management as its integral part. Special focus was placed on noticing the differences between traditional and modern approaches to safety management. The traditional approach focused on the consequences of events, the actions of operational staff involved in an incident, on prosecuting and punishing culpable individuals, while the modern safety approach focuses on active prevention in order to keep risks at an acceptable level. Thus, modern safety management practices have shifted from a reactive to a proactive and predictable approach.

This developed a laboratory vortex apparatus with the aim to perform an experimental analysis of the formation of free and forced vortexes using water as fluid flow process. The experimental observations revealed that the apparatus surface of the vortex adjacent to the inner air core region was level where the radius expanded as the height increased. The orifice of the apparatus was selected for orifice diameters of 5, 10, 15, and 20mm at 30, 45, 60 and 90o angle of inclination were used to determine the diameter of the vortex developed for experimental flow process. The apparatus generated highest vortex diameter of 17mm for the free vortex and 8mm for forced vortex flow process a constant pressure head of 11.2m. Further analysis of the effect of orifice revealed that the larger the orifice diameter of 10, 15 and 20mm at developed a vortex faster for the two flow process as the angle of inclination was increased. The finding of this study will enhance further study to understand turbulent fluid flow process of vortex formation to meet demands of future technologies.
