Published: July 2024

Objective: Amenorrhea is an abnormal condition characterized by the absence of menstruation in women of reproductive age. According to the World Health Organization, amenorrhea ranks as the sixth leading cause of female infertility. Approximately 2% to 5% of women of reproductive age experience amenorrhea, which can be classified as primary amenorrhea (PA) or secondary amenorrhea (SA). Several studies have named chromosomal abnormalities among the main causes of amenorrhea, though the prevalence of these abnormalities may differ across populations. The objective of this study was to ascertain the frequency and types of chromosomal abnormalities in women with amenorrhea in Kermanshah Province, Iran. Methods: This retrospective study included patients with PA and SA who underwent standard cytogenetic analysis. We also conducted a review of the literature on chromosomal abnormalities and their prevalence in SA. Results: Among the 137 cases of PA in this study, 22% exhibited chromosomal abnormalities. Numerical changes were the most common finding (46.6%) in this group, including 45,X, mosaic, and 47,XXX karyotypes. These were followed by the 46,XY karyotype (40%). Of the 51 cases of SA that received chromosomal analysis, abnormalities were identified in only one case. Additionally, our review of the literature revealed that chromosomal aberrations are responsible for 7% of SA cases globally. Conclusion: In this study, we successfully characterized the cytogenetic causes of PA and SA in a substantial population from Kermanshah Province, Iran.

Draft Evasion Policy in the Republic of Cyprus
Authors: Efthymiou Stratis
Published: July 2024

This article views military service through the lenses of legal and gender approaches. With the reinstatement of compulsory military service being debated in many Western countries, the factors contributing to draft evasion are relevant. This article explores policy aiming to address draft evasion through a case study of post-EU-accession Cyprus. It shows that in Cyprus, policy attempts to reinvigorate military values are flawed. Draft evasion points to social, political, and economic developments that call for the military ideology of the armed forces to be redesigned to render a fairer institution toward conscript soldiers. When the draft evasion phenomenon becomes intensified, armies should consider a fairer form of military service, such as “giving back” to soldiers for the time spent in the army through the development of skills and educational and professional qualifications.

Risk assessment and machine learning models
Authors: Borjalilu Naimeh
Published: July 2024

Safety management system for operational domains with extensive scope is a challenging issue. In the current safety management system literature, there are not efficient methods to implement subjective inferences of organization experts to analyze data and predict the performance of safety and quality management systems by using all available data and identify weakness points to improve organizational safety and quality process. Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence that involves the algorithms and model development to allow safety and quality management systems that improve their performance over time automatically. The benefits of machine learning include efficiency improvement, reduced costs, improved decision-making, and increased innovation to study the future of risk management. The existence of massive data in operational sectors is a critical challenge for machine learning implementation in safety risk management systems. A safety data pool from all occurrences and hazards should be designed to improve and know about the future of safety management system, and then design the system to assess, analyze, verify, and predict the safety assessment result to decide proper management system decisions. In this study, the machine learning method implementations are proposed for risk management in operational domains.
hepatocellular carcinoma and liver transplantation
Authors: Tüysüz Umut
Published: July 2024

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the sixth most common cancer worldwide. It has the third most common cancer-related death. Here, there are different treatment options for HCC that develops on cirrhosis background. These include liver resection, liver transplantation (LT), locoregional therapy (LRT), and systemic therapy. LT is an effective treatment choice for eligible patients who provide excellent posttransplant outcomes with a low risk of HCC recurrence, especially when strict patient selection criteria and appropriate posttransplant management are applied. Different selection criteria have been proposed for LT candidates in recent years. The use of these criteria also allows for recurrence rates that can be achieved at acceptable rates. These models continue to evolve and incorporate features such as tumor biology in addition to the response to LRT as efforts to identify patient populations that may benefit more from LT by expanding access to it. Milan criteria were considered the gold standard for LT. Post-LT HCC recurrence is among the leading causes of death in patients transplanted for this indication. Posttransplant HCC surveillance is important in this regard. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment have been proven to improve survival outcomes.

Radiation therapy remains a cornerstone in the clinical care of patients with medulloblastoma. Nevertheless, while treatment with radiation improves disease control, it is also associated with potential late effects impacting neurologic and neurocognitive function, pituitary function as well as hearing. The development of secondary, treatment-related malignancies is an uncommon but possible late outcome. In this chapter, we review the role of radiation therapy in medulloblastoma, as well as changes in management that have resulted both from technological therapeutic advancements and enterprising cooperative group clinical trials for this disease. Moreover, with increasing utilization of molecular diagnostics both for prognosis and stratification of treatment, we also endeavor to explore opportunities to further improve the delivery of radiation therapy to patients with varied risk of disease recurrence.
Advances in Skin Cancer
Authors: Al-Matouq Jenan
Published: July 2024

Skin cancer has been associated with excessive sun exposure ever since the nineteenth century. The most common affected skin cells upon recurrent exposure to the sun include the squamous cells, basal cells, and Merkel cells. Basal cell carcinoma has the highest prevalence among the other types of skin cancer, but rarely metastasizes and is highly treatable. Squamous cell carcinoma, if left untreated, is inclined to penetrate the epidermis, invade into the dermis, and metastasize to other organs. Melanoma, however, is highly aggressive and has the least survival rates. Cumulative exposure to ultraviolet radiation mainly from the sun results in DNA damage, oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and gene mutations, all leading to the development of skin cancer. Many molecular pathways are affected by the mutations and can activate oncogenes, inactivate tumor suppressor genes, or impair DNA repair genes. This consequently can lead to increased proliferation, blood vessel growth, tumor invasion, evasion of immune response, and ultimately, metastasis. Early detection is vital to prevent cancer promotion and is mainly via histopathological techniques. Treatment options include surgical removal as the first-line treatment for early stages of skin cancer and immune therapy. An alternative emerging approach in the treatment of metastasized skin cancer is through nanotechnology that operates at a nanoscale increasing drug delivery and distribution in the body.
Amplifying Hate: Mapping the Political Twitter Ecosystem and Toxic Enablers in Greece
Authors: Archontaki Ioanna , Papaevagelou Dimitris
Published: July 2024

Detecting hate speech on social media and the way it spreads have proved trickier than originally thought. Alt-right politicians seem to be ahead of the technological curve, exploiting existing biases in society and platforms to promote hateful messages. As a result, messages get traction by both good and bad faith actors. In the following research, we examined 36.8 million tweets and 1.5 million unique accounts related to Greek politicians on Twitter, in an effort to map the information dissemination ecosystem. In this chapter, we present a scalable model to predict amplification accounts used by various actors in Greece, alongside a toxicity classifier for short messages. We mainly focused on the political context to scan for toxicity spreaders affiliated to Greek politicians. Our approach investigates behavioral characteristics that differentiate normal accounts with the amplifiers without addressing the binary logic—bot or not. Our preliminary results show that the majority of Greek politicians’ networks of followers are amplifier accounts without necessarily meaning that these are bot accounts. In compatibility with other research findings, we find that the majority of the accounts promoting toxicity are predominantly partisans from the right of the political spectrum.

Demystifying Writing
Authors: Welch Brynn ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: July 2024

Writing any paper—let alone a philosophy paper—can strike fear into the hearts of even seasoned undergraduate students. In this article, I discuss strategies for demystifying both the process of writing a philosophy paper and the inevitable assessment of that paper. Rather than viewing the assessment of their work as something I do after they do their part, inviting students to think about the assessment of their work serves as the first stage of their writing process. The goal is that students come to understand the work they are being asked to do and endorse that work as worthwhile. Ideally, they even enjoy it a little along the way. Specifically, I outline two practices to accomplish the goal of demystifying writing: collaborative rubric design and a process-based feedback loop geared toward making visible what is often the invisible work of doing philosophy.

Published: July 2024

Using the partial least squares Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) on primary data collected from surveys of 466 inexperienced investors in Vietnam during September and October 2023, our study explores the factors that influence investor attitudes towards the use of AI services in six distinct tasks within the stock investment process. The results indicate that perceived usefulness, subjective norms, and trust significantly affect these investors’ attitudes towards AI use in stock investments. However, the perceived ease of use impacts only the tasks that involve straightforward processing. Based on these findings, we recommend that financial service providers tailor their product development strategies to attract potential customers in this emerging market.
The impact of macroprudential policies on bank’s profitability: Empirical evidence from Vietnam
Authors: Phạm Phương Anh ,   Banking Academy of Vietnam, Nguyễn Nhật Minh
Published: July 2024

This paper investigates the impact of macroprudential policies on the profitability of 27 Vietnamese commercial banks from 2014:Q3 to 2023:Q3. This paper uses panel data regression methods combined with tests to resolve the endogeneity issue, and robustness checks produce consistent research results. Accordingly, empirical results show that contractionary macroprudential policies have a positive impact on the profitability of Vietnamese commercial banks. The results from the quantile regression model indicate that contractionary macroprudential policies help commercial banks with low ROA quantiles improve profitability better than banks with high ROA quantiles. Based on that, this research forms several recommendations including: the banks should conduct appropriate strategies to align to macroprudential regulations; the State Bank of Vietnam is in charge of the banks in complying to these regulations.
Oral surgical treatment of patients suffering from haemophilia
Authors: Tijanić Miloš , Stojanović Simona , Burić Kristina , Stojković Branislava
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Haemophilia is one of the most common haemorrhagic diseases from the group of coagulopathies and results from a deficiency of factors responsible for the first phase of coagulation. Aim: This informative paperwork aims to highlight the principles of oral surgical treatment of patients with haemophilia. Material and methods: The available literature was analysed to indicate the basic characteristics of haemophilia (clinical manifestation, possibilities of treatment and prophylaxis of the disease) with special reference to specificity and principles of dental oral surgical treatment of patients with haemophilia. Conclusion: The treatment of patients with haemophilia is considered one of the riskiest in everyday dental practice. Despite this, dental interventions can be successfully and safely performed. However, the dentist must be acquainted with the nature of the disease, its symptoms and the severity of the clinical picture. Furthermore, the dentist needs to know what kind of therapy the patient receives for the treatment of haemophilia, whether the patient has been diagnosed with inhibitors to the coagulation factor, and whether the patient has concomitant diseases with special reference to possible infectious diseases. Along with that, the key to a successful and safe intervention lies in a well-planned preoperative, perioperative and postoperative treatment of patients with haemophilia.
Contemporary migrant crisis with the special overview of the protection of constitutional rights of the citizens of immigration countries
Authors: Bataveljić Dragan , Božić Vanda
Published: July 2024

The contemporary migrant (refugee) crisis that began in 2010 in the countries of North Africa and the Middle East is by no means accidental, but a very well-planned and executed migration of people. This plan slowly leads to the formation of a completely New World Order in such a way as to destroy the previous national one, and create a completely new limited sovereignty. The de-sovereignation of nation-states has become a scourge of the modern age. A typical example is the European Union, which, in the era of the contemporary migrant crisis, has set itself a great challenge and task, to preserve the national identity of its member states. In the paper, the authors presented the legal and institutional framework for the protection of basic human rights of migrants. The paper contains a special reference to respect for the constitutional rights of citizens of the countries of immigration in the age of the migrant crisis. The contemporary migrant crisis has led to an enormous increase in people smuggling, but also influenced the increase in human trafficking. In the paper, the authors point to the distinction between human smuggling as a criminal offense against public order and peace and human trafficking as a criminal offense against humanity and other goods protected by international law. In the final deliberations, it was pointed out the necessity of respecting international documents, encouraging national, regional and global cooperation, as well as public condemnation of discrimination and hate speech.
Automated wind turbines gearbox condition monitoring: A comparative study of machine learning techniques based on vibration analysis
Authors: Ogaili Ahmed , Mohammed Kamal , Jaber Alaa , Al-Ameen Ehsan
Published: July 2024

Wind turbines play a role in the adoption of renewable energy production, but they are susceptible to shutdowns that require thorough monitoring. Gearbox failures are an issue leading to maintenance and operational downtime. This study investigates the application of machine learning methods to enhance the diagnosis of gearbox problems using vibration analysis. Through the application of fault scenarios that impact bearings and gears, the researchers successfully extracted time domain features from vibration data of a 750 kW turbine testbed in order to detect indications of damage. Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naive Bayes, and K Nearest Neighbour (KNN) machine learning models were used to classify gearbox faults. Among these models, Naive Bayes achieved an accuracy rate of 95.7%, which exceeded the established benchmarks. The probabilistic approach was able to successfully associate symptom characteristics with fault patterns. Intelligent monitoring systems could improve maintenance efficiency. This data-driven approach highlights the potential of machine learning in supporting wind power development by eliminating gearbox inefficiencies and improving turbine reliability, and further research is being conducted to ensure that this approach works in concert with diversity and in the real world. This shows how machine learning is contributing to advances in renewable energy by helping to analyze predictive problems and prevent costly gearbox failures.

The drawback of liberal nationalism as a condition for positive peace in the Balkans
Authors: Lakić Danijela
Published: July 2024

The subject of the paper is liberal nationalism as the only acceptable form of nationalism for the Balkans, which has been imposed and allowed by the so-called great forces (the EU and the USA) after the end of the Cold War for this, from a political and ethnic aspect, unstable region. Liberal nationalism is an integral part of liberal peacebuilding, a dominant matrix on a global level, and it has been established as one of its strategies for building and maintaining positive peace, the conditions of normal functioning and the path of the Balkan countries towards the European Union. The paper first explains the concept of positive peace and provides an overview of the state in our region, and then it points to the central ideas of liberalism and nationalism as the foundations of liberal nationalism, whose features are stated thereafter. The focus of the paper is on the analysis of the shortcomings of liberal nationalism since political and ethnic crises in the Balkan countries in the last decade indicate that, in the imposed basis of peace in these societies, "something is not right". As the most obvious drawback of the application of liberal nationalism in the Balkans, favoring political nation model has been identified, which is contrary to the history and specificities of Balkan peoples (it resulted in the projects such as the building of the so-called Bosnian and Montenegrin nation, which has deepened ethnic-identity conflicts as the basis of political crises endangering the functioning of these states). In the concluding remarks, as a basic way to solve this drawback, or rather the illogicality, of liberal nationalism as a condition for positive peace in our region, focusing and returning to the cultural model of the nation is proposed because, firstly, this is the authentic feature of this type of nationalism, which is in accordance with its origin and characteristics, and secondly, the cultural-ethnic determination of the nation is the prevailing and authentic model of the nation in the Balkans. This idea about emphasizing the primary status of a cultural version of a nation refers to the aspect of liberal nationalism on the necessity of including national belonging, as an integral part of cultural belonging, in primary goods that the state ensures for its citizens, which means that liberal state cannot be fully ethnically neutral either. Furthermore, the cultural nation model, as an autochthonous feature of Balkan peoples, needs to be included more intensively in all the segments of liberal peacebuilding, whereby its adverse effects would be mitigated in the Balkans at least in part.
The necessity of energy transition in textile industry
Authors: Dragović Njegoš
Published: July 2024

The textile industry should play an important role in the development of the economy, but it is limited due to the negative impact on the environment, which can be solved by switching to sustainable and renewable energy sources (RES). A successful strategy for the production of textile products includes a set of environmental, economic and energy, technological and health factors. Clothing and home textiles are the basic products of the textile industry, but with new materials and technologies, the use is expanding in the field of agrotechnical nets, applications for building structures or military materials. Textile products are created in long technological processes in production halls so that natural resources and water are used for processing, into which harmful substances flow. Following these negative sides, the textile industry has to reform in the field of application of materials on inputs to sources of electricity supply. There is a technological and energy transition that can contribute to increasing production efficiency, work effectiveness and reducing electricity consumption, sustainable use of nearby energy resources such as RES. In this way, water pollution is directly reduced, and the forced use of resources that cannot be renewed or cleaned of pollution is indirectly reduced. The advantage is that the energy transition can save materials, the aesthetic appearance of textiles and products improves, and the economic savings are significant. Funds can be invested in the replacement of acceptable materials, which are recycled and do not pollute. RES such as solar energy and wind energy can be placed on the roofs of halls, and natural fibers can be washed, bleached or thermally treated with geothermal water and thus create sustainable materials in the textile industry.

PENGARUH TRANSFER PRICING TERHADAP AGRESIVITAS PAJAK DI PERUSAHAAN MULTINASIONAL
Authors: Siahaya Princessa , Lingga Ita Salsalina
Published: July 2024

Transfer pricing is a pricing method used in transactions between companies within the same group with the aim of optimizing global profits through favorable pricing agreements. This strategy is commonly used by multinational companies to reduce tax liabilities by transferring income to jurisdictions with lower tax rates, thereby potentially increasing tax aggressiveness. The investigation conducted in this study examines the correlation between transfer pricing and tax aggressiveness, focusing on PT Adaro Energy Tbk as a case study, which is a multinational energy company based in Indonesia. The main objective of this investigation is to assess transfer pricing in relation to the tax behavior of multinational companies. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology, this research involves compiling various journals accredited by SINTA. The findings lead to the conclusion that transfer pricing does not have a significant impact on the tax behavior of multinational companies. Consequently, the authors propose the introduction of additional variables to evaluate tax behavior in multinational companies. This discovery emphasizes the need for enhanced regulation and oversight of transfer pricing practices by tax authorities to ensure compliance and equity in the tax system.
Civil szervezetek szerepe a magyarországi migrációs jog fejlesztésében
Authors: Szabó Attila
Published: July 2024

A migrációs jog rendkívül turbulensen változott 2015-2020 között. A hazai jogvédő civil szervezetek a meglévő mozgásterüket kihasználva próbáltak befolyással lenni a migrációs jog alakulására a saját emberi jogi alapvetéseiknek megfelelően. Ennek köszönhető, hogy a külföldiek belépésével, tartózkodásával és nemzetközi védelmével kapcsolatos jogterületnek bizonyos elemei nem lettek a jelenleginél is restriktívebbek. Az ezzel kapcsolatos kutatásomban találtam példát jogfejlesztésre, valamint bizonyítottam szerepüket a hazai és nemzetközi jog érvényesülésének monitorozását vagy kikényszerítését illetően is. Kutatásom keretében a releváns jogszabályok változását, európai bírósági jogvitákat vizsgáltam meg, továbbá interjúkat is készítettem, amelyek segítségével a civil jogvédő szervezetek jelentőségét még a vizsgált időszakra vonatkozóan is bizonyítani lehetett összefüggésben a migrációs jog instabil jellegével.

A Magyar Tudományos Akadémia Állam- és Jogtudományi Intézete Jogösszehasonlító Osztályának egykori – első és utolsó – vezetője az intézmény formálódása legkorábbi időszakától foglalkoztatott kutatóként tanúja, majd lassan alakítója is volt a tudományos profil alakulásának, Szabó Imre akadémikus igazgató nemzetközi tájékozódásának s egész tudománypolitikájának, akinek szovjetunióbeli személyes súlya okán a jogtudományok helyzete másként alakult e korai szocialista időkben Magyarországon, mint a többi tudományé. A hidegháború két súlyos évtizede jogtudományi útnyitásának krónikája ez Kelet és Nyugat közt, s egyúttal a jogösszehasonlítás fejlődéséé. Beszámoló egy olyan útról, amely tudományművelése tudományszerűségét sztálinista környezete ellenére meg tudta őrizni s a térség szellemi zártságát is valamelyest oldani.
Normák és készségek a közszolgálatban – A tisztviselők speciális magatartási követelményeiről
Authors: Makkos Nándor
Published: July 2024

Tanulmányomban kiemelem a magas színvonalú tisztviselői munka fontosságát, különösen a magatartási elvárások és a speciális követelmények terén. Hangsúlyozom, hogy nem elegendő csak az általános magatartási elveket megfogalmazni; fontos figyelemmel lenni arra is, hogy az államszervezeten belüli különféle funkciókat betöltő szervezeteknél specifikus előírások is érvényesülnek. Ez magában foglalja, hogy a tisztviselőknek, mint az államszervezet alapvető elemeinek, hogyan kell hatékonyan és súrlódásmentesen viselkedniük munkájuk során. A tisztviselők különböző közszolgálati területeken dolgoznak, ami miatt az őket érintő speciális magatartási szabályok nem korlátozódnak egy adott területre, és ezek a szabályok nem választhatóak el az emberi értékektől. Speciális magatartási követelmények, egyedi tudások és képességek birtoklását követelik meg, amelyek kiemelik az emberi természet és a szakmai tudás kombinációját. Ezek a követelmények nem csak a tisztviselői kompetenciák széles skáláját érintik, hanem az emberi képességek mélységét és felületességét is figyelembe veszik. A tanulmány célja, hogy azonosítsa a különböző kormányzati szektorok számára szükséges konkrét viselkedési mandátumokat és kompetenciákat.
Macrozoobenthos of The Eastern Gulf of Finland: Current State and Influence on Biogeochemical Processes
Authors: Maximov A. A. , Berezina N. A. , Maximova O. B.

Macrozoobenthos plays an important role in biogeochemical processes. In the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland, macrozoobenthos has been changing rapidly in recent decades due to the massive development of alien species of annelids. The current state of benthic communities in the Gulf of Finland is considered based on data at 24 stations in 2019–2021. In open areas of the bay, the biomass of the bivalves Macoma balthica increased as compared to the beginning of the 2010s. The populations of glacial relict crustaceans, which had greatly decreased in the early 2000s due to benthic hypoxia, have practically recovered. The abundance of oligochaetes has also increased due to the spread of the alien species Tubificoides pseudogaster. This led to a decrease in the proportion of alien polychaetes Marenzelleria spp. in the abundance and biomass of macrozoobenthos. Due to differences between species in living and bioturbation activity, the changes that have occurred in the benthos should affect the processes at the water–bottom interface. There is likely to be an increase in the supply of phosphorus from bottom sediments under modern conditions compared to the period of total dominance of polychaetes in benthic communities in the early 2010s.

La prevalencia de la alopecia androgénica ha hecho que aumenten las consultas dermatológicas y las opciones de tratamiento. Las fórmulas orales que combinan minoxidilo e inhibidores de la 5-alfa-reductasa, como dutasterida, están ganando popularidad. Un joven de 22 años con alopecia androgénica, recibió una receta de este tipo en 2022. Tras recoger regularmente su medicación, en el verano de 2023 se quejó de mareos, taquicardia y palpitaciones. Las investigaciones revelaron una presión arterial baja y una frecuencia cardiaca elevada. Sospechando reacciones adversas al medicamento, los farmacéuticos iniciaron un seguimiento. Aunque se confirmó que la formulación y el lote eran seguros, los posibles efectos secundarios del minoxidilo suscitaron preocupación. Su dermatólogo suspendió el minoxidilo durante las vacaciones costeras, con lo que se resolvieron los síntomas. A la vuelta, al reanudar el tratamiento con minoxidilo/dutasterida, los síntomas remitieron y la tensión arterial monitorizada volvió a la media. Este caso pone de relieve la importancia de la farmacovigilancia y la terapia individualizada en el manejo de las reacciones adversas a los tratamientos de la alopecia.
