Wildfires in terms of unmanned systems. Current methods and solution review
Authors: Fellner Andrzej , Zawistowski Maciej
Published: February 2023

The analysis of the literature shows that numerous factors, such as Climate change, more and more frequent and long-lasting droughts, and the growing trend of using forests for recreational purposes, cause a constant increase in the risk of forest fires. Poland, despite having numerous and vast forest areas in the form of national or landscape parks, is classified as having an average risk of fire compared to other European countries. Currently, our country is characterized by the emergence of a large number of forest fires within a small area. In 2019, there were almost 9,200 such events, which put Poland in third place in Europe (behind Spain and Portugal). It should be noted, however, that large-scale forest fires with an area of several hundred hectares have occurred and are still a threat in Poland. Therefore, it has been proposed to use a proactive method to limit or compensate for the effects of hazards caused by large-scale fires, which are of key safety, environmental and economic importance. In the article, the authors focused on the presentation of the currently used solutions and compensation for the effects of these threats and presented possible prospective solutions based on the conducted and planned scientific research on monitoring large-scale fires and the possibility of forecasting them during operational activities, based on unmanned systems and techniques and satellite technologies.

Published: February 2023

Background. To explore the impact of the ProFHER trial on initial decision making in the management of proximal humerus fractures at a district general hospital (DGH).Material and methods. Retrospective review of all proximal humerus fractures at a single DGH during 1 year before ProFHER (2014) and 1 year following publication (2018). Data related to demographics, fracture pattern, and management was collected from electronic patient records and analysed.Results. 52 patients in 2014 and 70 patients in 2018 met the inclusion criteria. There was no significant difference in demographics or fracture classification. Fewer patients were admitted from Accident and Emergency in 2018 (44% vs 55%). Of patients admitted, there was no significant difference between the proportion referred to a shoulder surgeon (SS) (27.5% vs 30%). In patients seen initially in fracture clinic by a non-shoulder surgeon (NSS), significantly fewer were referred for a SS opinion in 2018 (6.7%) vs 2014 (50%). Computed tomography was requested in 5/52 cases (9.6%) in 2014 and 8/70 cases (11.4%) in 2018, all cases involved an SS. Significantly more patients (14/52, 27%) were managed surgically in 2014 compared to 2018 (10/70, 14%). All patients were discharged with the exception of 1 patient in each group who required later surgical intervention. Conclusions. 1. The widely disseminated ProFHER trial is likely to have influenced contemporary clinical practice. 2. This study shows non-shoulder specialists are more likely to manage these patients conservatively and without the involvement of shoulder surgeons post ProFHER. 3. This impact on clinical outcomes requires further research.
Literature Analysis Regarding the Combination of Substances: Glucosamine + Chondroitin in the Treatment of Osteoarthritis
Authors: Marczyński Wojciech , Tłustochowicz Witold , Tomaszewski Wiesław , Białecki Jerzy

An essential component of joint quality is cartilage. Therefore, the protection of this is a prerequisite for maintaining the condition of each joint. The assessment of the presence of articular cartilage is shown by X-ray of both joints in the standing position. Cartilage protection is possible for 1, 2 and 3 degree of cartilage damage according to the Kellgren and Lawrence scale.The challenge for the physician is to identify the cause of OA in accordance with the principles of Evidence Based Orthopedics/Traumatology, and not merely treat symptomatically, which is usually ineffective.In order to objectively present treatment methods, indications and the period of their implementation, it is biologically reasonable to refer to the needs of cartilage tissue resulting from the analysis of the causes of its damage and indications for justified methods of its protection.Biomechanical and biological elements are important in the process of implementing articular cartilage protection.The biomechanical elements are: limb axis disorders, differences in length, distortions at the level of the support quadrilateral, pelvic triangle and shoulder triangle, as well as balance disorders resulting from disturbances in the segmental proportion of the Fi number according to Leonardo da Vinci.There are many biological elements of the discussed disorder and they concern: the state of articular cartilage structure, matrix structure, matrix biophysical elements, molecular sponge mechanism, chondrocytes, cartilage nutrition and the severity of osteoarthritis (OA).The improvement of the conditions of the biological elements of damaged articular cartilage is considered fundamental and concerns the positive impact on numerous cartilage matrix proteins by chondroprotection. This element of treatment consists in the use of chondroitin sulphate and glucosamine as a drug, administered together in the appropriate dose and for a long time depending on the degree of degradation of the articular cartilage, usually from several to several months. The combination of chondroitin sulfate with glucosamine causes the activation of a much larger number of matrix proteins than each of the preparations separately.The pharmacokinetics of chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine are positive and favor their chondroprotective effect.The pharmacoproteomics of chondroitin sulfate and glucosamine administered together result from the activation of as many joint cartilage matrix proteins as possible. The development of proteomic techniques creates completely new therapeutic possibilities and is used to study the action of individual molecules.A clinically significant fact is that both chondroitin and glucosamine are natural, endogenous components of bone tissue and articular cartilage, so the use of both drugs is biologically compatible and results in numerous elements of cartilage protection.

Published: February 2023

In an experiment to study the effect of basal and foliar application of zinc on antinutrient and pronutrient compounds in rice grains (Oryza sativa) the observed results showed that a combination of basal and foliar application resulted in an increase in the zinc content of rice plants by almost 58% during 2009 and up to 55% during 2010, which was confirmed by the measurement of acid phosphatase, grain and straw zinc content of the rice genotypes. Moreover, phytic acid content was found to be reduced and methionine content was enhanced. In general it was observed that rice genotypes respond to zinc application positively and zinc availability was found to increase. Hence, it can be concluded that proper zinc fertilization can enhance the availability of zinc in rice grains.

Anmol. The experiment was conducted in completely randomized design (CRD) with three replications comprising ten pots per replication. Cycocel (@ 500, 750, 1000, 1250 and 1500 ppm), Daminozide (@ 500, 750 and 1000 ppm) and Ethephon (@ 250, 500 and 1000 ppm) were sprayed on chrysanthemum cv. Anmol (spray type) after one month of transplanting. The effect of growth retardants in reduction of plant height followed the order daminozide> ethephon> cycocel. Internodal length was much reduced by daminozide @ 1000 ppm. Highest plant spread, diameter of main stem and leaf area was obtained under daminozide @ 1000 ppm. Floral characters like days to bud appearance, days to colour break stage and days to full bloom stage was obtained earlier in daminozide @ 1000 ppm and later in ethephon @ 1000 ppm. Flower diameter was much increased by daminozide @ 500 ppm. Highest number of flowers/plant was obtained under daminozide @ 1000 ppm. Highest duration of flowering was obtained under daminozide @ 1000 ppm and minimum under ethephon @ 1000 ppm.

A Path of Endogenous Teacher Professional Development—Perspective of Brentano’s Value Philosophy
Authors: Wang Hanjiang
Published: February 2023

From the point of view of logic rationality, the traditional philosophy of rationality emphasizes the purpose and means of cognition, but rejects the meaning and practice of life, and its thought also profoundly affects the development of teachers. The requirement of teacher’s professional development under the modern educational concept highlights the teacher’s subjectivity and personality traits. Brentano’s value philosophy is a philosophy that respects the tradition of life practice. Its intentional theory, insight life meaning, and strong practical purport provides a new path of thinking dimension for clarify the value orientation of teacher professional development and break through the current situation of teachers’ professional development, which lead a path of “endogenous” teacher professional development that based on the construction of teachers’ personal knowledge from the teacher’s self-evident feelings and belief, and then from the teacher’s individual professional development to teacher’s collective professional development.

Authors: Roede Katy M. , Slate John R.
Published: February 2023

In this statewide, multiyear analysis, the extent to which differences were present in school accountability ratings of elementary schools by principal experience was determined. Specifically examined was the relationship of principals’ years of experience and the accountability ratings of elementary schools in the 2017-2018 and 2018-2019 school years. Inferential statistical analyses revealed the presence of statistically significant differences in school accountability ratings as a function of the principals’ years of experience. In every instance, schools that were led by Inexperienced or Moderately Experienced principals were outperformed by schools led by Experienced principals. Considering the growing numbers of principals who are leaving the profession and the greater emphasis on meeting state and federal accountability measures, these findings are of great concern. Implications of these findings and recommendations for future research are discussed.

The Applicability of the Social Enterprise in a Small State: The Case of Malta**
Authors: Baldacchino Peter J. , Farruga Lindsay M. , Grima Simon
Published: February 2023

The main objective of this study is to assess the social, financial and corporate governance (CG) implications of the proposed social enterprise (SE) legislation in Malta. In light of such implications, the study also assesses the applicability of the SE under such legislation. A mixed methodology was adopted. Fifteen interviews were held with experts. Such data was supplemented by 52 valid responses to a questionnaire sent both to co-operatives and voluntary organisations (VOs) in Malta. The study concludes that the proposed legislation has various positive social, financial and CG implications and that the SE, as being proposed, is applicable and filling a void within the Maltese environment. Although such legislation offers both a new legal form and a label, its reference to the Companies Act which ignores SEs’ unique social dimension is questionable. Alternatively, a holistic SE regulatory framework may be developed. Furthermore, statutory thresholds, such as for dividend distribution and trade income, are to be possibly rendered more flexible. This study aspires to raise awareness about the implications of a proposed regulatory framework in Malta, hence hopefully promoting the application of the concept.
Declining Supply and Rising Demand for Labor – the Consequences in RS
Authors: Pucar Stevo
Published: February 2023

The aim of this research is to provide projections of the labor market in the Republic of Serbska, as a part of Bosnia and Herzegovina (RS) in the period 2017 - 2021, based on an analytical approach and precise indicators. The basic methodology in creating projections on the labor market in the Republic of Serbska (RS) is statistical extrapolation of trends in demand and supply of labor at the level of the RS. Data for this study were standard reports of statistical institutions (Statistical Yearbook, Labor Force Survey, etc.), as well as special reports generated for the specific needs of this research. The results show that in the next 6 years, the number of working-age population will shrink by a further 59,000 people with 867,000 to 808,000. Out of the total working-age population, ie the active population. labor force (the sum of employed and unemployed) is will not change greatly, while the level of the inactive population, ie. working-age population not seeking employment will drop significantly. On the other hand, our projections show that, even in terms of the decline in the working-age population, the demand for labor will continue to grow. Also, according to projections, the number of unemployed ie. the excess of supply over demand of the labor force will decrease in the period 2017-2021. All this will not be without impact on wage levels. Total average gross wages will rise by 2021, but wage growth in the manufacturing industry will be much more pronounced. Therefore, it is essential to increase productivity and added value of companies because it is the only way to compensate for this increase in wages.

Authors: Radić Mijana Matošević , Jukić Ivona , Roje Antonija
Published: February 2023

Social entrepreneurship is a relatively new topic of interest within the academic and the literature on it is limited. With the increase of interest in recent years from various interest groups the concept of social enterprise has become more widespread. The purpose of this paper is to explore the link between social entrepreneurship and voluntourism, as one of the types of special interest tourism. Voluntourism, according to the concept of sustainable community development, relate all the stakeholders of such development. Moreover, social entrepreneurship could become an important vehicle for sustainable development of destinations. This paper proposes that niche tourism products and more specifically, voluntourism projects, under the prism of social entrepreneurship, can become the means towards Croatian product diversification and long-term environmental, social and economic sustainability. Quantitative research was conducted and the methodology entails a case study approach. Results indicate that there are limited number of projects concerning social entrepreneurship in voluntourism in Croatia and also that discussed projects are not recognized. This study assessed the situation in Croatia and although it was comprehensive under conditions of limited data availability, it cannot speak to social entrepreneurship in voluntourism globally, but it can offer foundation for future research in this area.
Significance of Citizen Patrol Corps Act Enactment and Future Measurements
Authors:   The Korean Society of Private Security, Lim Chang-Ho
Published: February 2023

In April 2022, the “Act on the Installation and Operation of Citizen Patrol Corps(Citizen Patrol Corps Act)” was enacted according to the claim that citizen patrol corps play the various important roles for regional safety, but have been not systematically managed and supported. Citizen patrol corps have been participating in crime prevention activities in each community while assisting policing for nearly 70 years in South Korea, but with the enactment of Citizen Patrol Corps Act, they will be able to carry out more systematic crime prevention activities. The citizen patrol corps, which have played the role of safety guards in the community until now, will be given legal status, which will help solve various difficult problems. The purpose of this study is to examine the concept and history of the citizen patrol corps, present the significance of citizen patrol corps act enactment, and discuss problems that may arise in the process of implementing citizen patrol corps in the future. The citizen patrol corps are fundamentally the voluntary crime prevention organization that local residents patrol for crime prevention, report crimes, and protect youth for their own local safety. Local residents should recognize the importance of citizen patrol corps activity, and actively encourage and support citizen patrol corps.
A Study on Public Service Commitment According to the Characteristics of Police Organizations
Authors:   The Korean Society of Private Security, Cho Sang-Hyun
Published: February 2023

In the past, the police have changed from the role of crime and law enforcement to providing security services for the nation and the people, such as maintaining order and providing services, as well as the role of the police in the past. The most necessary factor in the role of the police is public service commitment. Therefore, this study attempted to empirically verify the factors that affect police commitment to public office according to the characteristics of police organizations. By reviewing previous domestic and foreign studies, the characteristics of police organizations that affect public service commitment were perceived organizational support, access to resources, learning organization, and red tape.
As a result of the study, it was investigated that perceived support perception, learning organization, and red tape affect the police's commitment to public service. Therefore, depending on the characteristics of the police organization, the commitment of police officers to public service can be improved to a high level. Based on these research results, we would like to make policy suggestions that can improve the police's public service commitment.
Effect of Police Officer's Perception and Attitude toward Predictive Policing System on Acceptability
Authors:   The Korean Society of Private Security, Park Han-Ho
Published: February 2023

Today, crime prevention is being implemented based on various scientific technologies. Among them, predictive security is a crime prevention system based on representative new security technology. As technologies related to criminology and mathematical statistics developed, a more precise predictive security system was implemented and the actual effectiveness was verified.
Although the predictive security system has been developed in this way, little has been studied on police officers using the predictive security system. The predictive security system only calculates predictive information based on mathematical and statistical algorithms, but it is individual police officials who actually carry out crime prevention activities. Therefore, whether police officials will consider the output of the predictive security system is a different matter from the effectiveness of the predictive security system. Therefore, studying the attitude of whether or not to consider the output of the predictive security system is important for the use of the predictive security system that will be expanded in the future.
Therefore, this study was surveyed on 140 police officers, and attempted to analyze whether the perception and attitude of predictive security affects the acceptance of the predictive security system through logistic regression analysis.
Accordingly, a logistic regression analysis was conducted on how the perception of the predictive system, such as the perception of acceptance of predictive system commands, the perception of criminal justice orientation of predictive system, the perception of standardization of predictive system, and recognition of standardization of predictive system discretion affects the acceptance attitude of police officers.
As a result of the analysis, it was found that the more police officers' attitudes and perceptions of the predictive security system were directed toward the definition of criminal justice, the higher the willingness to accept the predictive security system was 7.6 times.
A Study on the Current Use and Applications of Drones in Police Activities
Authors:   The Korean Society of Private Security, Baek Il-Hong
Published: February 2023

Through the 4th Industrial Revolution, it is required to provide administrative services in various directions by applying ICT technology in the public sector. Particularly noteworthy is that aircraft drones that can fly remotely and automatically without humans on board have high utilization value beyond the limits of manpower. In the public sector, it is actively used to rescue at accident and disaster sites and investigate the source of fire and to identify the damage situation in fire fighting. So, the drone's functions of 'mobility', 'accessibility', and 'extensive usability' have great effects, so it is expected to play a more role.
In police activities, drones are also used to search for missing persons who require rapid personal protection by utilizing the functions of drones. For this, a drone operation team has been formed, and basic laws necessary for the preparation and operation of drones suitable for search have been enacted. However, compared to the establishment of professional manpower and expensive technical equipment, the scope of use is limited to the search for missing persons, and this is also limited to effectively operate.
Considering various programs that can be combined with the aerial technology of the drone industry, which is continuously developing, the police should also discuss the value of active use in line with this.
To this end, this study examines the limitations of current operations and proposes ways to use drones in police activities through reading skills necessary to efficiently operate drones, countermeasures based on crime, technology using private experts, and positive security administration incorporated into local community policing.
Consideration of Measures to Prevent Recurrence of Forcible Repatriation of North Korean Defectors
Authors:   The Korean Society of Private Security, Yang Cheol-Ho , Kim Yun-Young
Published: February 2023

Forced repatriation of North Korean defectors has been and continues to be done mainly by the Chinese government. After the South Korean government rescued the fishermen who were drifting at sea, if they hoped to return to North Korea, they were repatriated through Panmunjom.
However, in November 2019, two North Korean defectors announced their intention to defect to the South Korean government, but on November 7, due to their crime and intention to defect, they tied them with a rope and put an eye patch on them and transported them to Panmunjom. There was an unprecedented case that removed the. At that time, the government insisted on the legitimacy of forced repatriation, but domestic and international human rights groups and international organizations condemned it as a violation of domestic and international laws and demanded countermeasures. The common view of the majority of legal experts is that the case is a violation of domestic and international law.
With this in mind, this article analyzed the actual situation of North Korean defectors' forced repatriation to North Korea and, as countermeasures, specifically suggested a change in the public's awareness of North Korean defectors, formation of public opinion on the status of North Korean defectors as 'refugee sur place', legal measures, and provision of institutional arrangements. This study can be used as evidence to prevent the forced repatriation and repatriation of North Korean defectors.

Un grave problema sociocultural está representado por la violencia contra las mujeres, cuya legitimización, construcción y reproducción, viene dada desde los inicios de la humanidad, y en el devenir del tiempo las creencias históricas, culturales y sociales han establecido la práctica de violencia de género en el colectivo social naturalizándolas y dando una visión de normalidad, llegando a ser aceptadas por la sociedad, sin que se dé un debate o discusión intenso sobre los actos violentos que se  realizan en los momentos actuales. Aun cuando se han dado cambios muy importantes en la sociedad, donde la mujer ha tenido relevancia y protagonismo, la cultura del silencio sigue prevaleciendo, la violencia es como algo ancestral, difícil de cambiar, donde muy pocas mujeres aceptan formar  parte de esa cultura patriarcal  y donde otras callan a sabiendas que está en juego su vida y la de los suyos. Para la realización del presente artículo que guarda relación con la realidad social actual del Ecuador, se efectuó una revisión documental con información relacionada con la violencia hacia la mujer; las normas y creencias que la apoyan  y las representaciones sociales, entre otras. Considerando finalmente  que el  basamento de la violencia hacia la mujer se encuentra en  los valores y normas afianzado en estructuras sociales que acrecientan las desigualdades entre mujeres y hombres, que violan los derechos humanos de las mujeres a través de prácticas cotidianas que se repiten una y otra vez en las formas de socialización.
Violencia hacia las mujeres indígenas en la Provincia de Pichincha

La violencia contra la mujer es un tema álgido en debate social y político, ya que su base está anclada en los valores y normas enraizados en estructuras sociales que acentúan la desigualdad entre lo masculino y lo femenino. Referirse a la violencia de género en el ámbito indígena permite reconocer que en la violencia de género contra la mujer juega un rol preponderante la relación entre el carácter étnico, el género y la condición social. Además, la cultura a la que pertenece la minimiza, dándole poder al hombre sobre ella, esa es una realidad que un gran número acepta y una minoría rechaza. La población de mujeres  indígena de la Provincia de Pichincha en Ecuador,  se encuentra inmersa en casos graves de violencia, los cuales vienen de generación en generación. Una mujer por ser indígena, no puede ser tratada con desigualdad. Para la realización del presente artículo que guarda relación con la realidad social actual del Ecuador, se efectuó una revisión documental sobre la mujer indígena y la violencia en la que se encuentra inmersa. Considerando finalmente que la mujer indígena ecuatoriana   acepta  como parte de su cotidianidad las prácticas de violencia hacia ella.
HESITATION, REFUS VACCINAL, COVID-19 ET BIAIS COGNITIFS. UNE REVUE NARRATIVE
Authors: GOCKO X , SOUSA BARBOSA J , POZZETTO B , PLOTTON C
Published: February 2023

Contexte. L’hésitation vaccinale, définie comme « le fait de retarder ou de refuser une vaccination sûre malgré sa disponibilité », a été classée comme l’une des dix menaces pour la santé par l’OMS. Les principaux motifs d’hésitation vaccinale dans le Covid-19 sont la dangerosité du vaccin, l’opposition à la vaccination en général et un virus jugé peu dangereux. Des erreurs issues de procédures mentales subconscientes de traitement de l’information, nommées « biais cognitifs », participent à la décision de se faire vacciner. Objectif. L’objectif de ce travail était de décrire les biais cognitifs pouvant participer à l’hésitation vaccinale et à son refus dans le Covid-19. Méthodes. Revue narrative de la littérature suivant les critères PRISMA, de 2011 à 2021 sur Medline® et Cairn®, et à partir des références. Ré sultats. Dix revues ou position papers ont été sélectionnés. Les biais de disponibilité (médiatisation d’un effet indésirable), de représentativité (stéréotype plutôt que statistique), d’attribution (observation anecdotique et causalité) peuvent participer au jugement de dangerosité du vaccin. Les biais d’aversion à l’ambiguïté, d’omission et de présent peuvent expliquer en partie le choix d’inaction de certains usagers de la santé. La distanciation du pouvoir induit une méfiance envers les pouvoirs publics. Ce sentiment d’inégalité participe à l’opposition à la vaccination en général. Les biais de naturalité (immunisation naturelle) et d’optimisme participent au jugement d’un virus peu dangereux. Conclusion. Les entretiens motivationnels avec des patients hésitants ou « refusants » vaccinaux peuvent être facilités par la connaissance de ces biais.
Novel new research strategies of hydantoin derivatives: A review

A non-aromatic five membered heterocycle known as hydantoin, imidazolidine-2,4-dione, is regarded as a desirable, preferred scaffold in medicinal chemistry. In addition to phenytoin, Nitrofurantoin, and Enzalutamide, the importance of the hydantoin scaffold in drug discovery has been supported by a number of medications currently in use. Hydantoin has two hydrogen bond acceptors and two hydrogen bond donors among its five possible substituent sites. Because they display a variety of biological and pharmacological activity in therapeutic and agrochemical applications, hydantoin and the hybrids they form with other molecules represent a particularly significant group of heterocycles. Additionally, they play a crucial role in the chemical or enzymatic synthesis of important, non-natural -amino acids and their conjugates that have potential medical applications. The production of hydantoin using the Bucherer-Bergs reaction is thoroughly discussed in this article, although it is only applicable to free carbonyl compounds or carbonyl compounds protected as acetals (ketals) and cyanohydrins used as starting reaction components. In this respect, the Bucherer–Bergs reaction provides an efficient and simple method in the synthesis of important natural products as well as for the preparation of new organic compounds applicable as potential therapeutics. The scope and limitations, as well as a comparison with some other methods for preparing hydantoin, are also discussed
