Authors: Pirnat Urška , Meško Gorazd
Published: July 2021

V poglavju predstavljamo raziskavo o zaznavah družbenih procesov, varnostnih težav in policije v urbanih soseskah Ljubljane. Leta 2016 je bila izvedena pregledna študija na vzorcu 1.000 polnoletnih prebivalcev Ljubljane, ki so živeli v manj in bolj obremenjenih soseskah s prekrški zoper javni red in mir ter kriminaliteto. Analiza podatkov je pokazala, da so prebivalci manj problematičnih sosesk izrazili večjo stopnjo socialne kohezije, boljše mnenje o migrantih in manj zaznane odklonskosti mladih kot prebivalci bolj problematičnih sosesk. Prav tako so prebivalci manj problematičnih sosesk zaznali več postopkovne pravičnosti in večjo učinkovitost policije ter hkrati izrazili večjo pripravljenost na sodelovanje s policijo. V drugem delu analiz se ugotovitve nanašajo na različen vpliv dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na napovedovanje zaznavanja nereda v soseski in postopkovne pravičnosti policije glede na manj in bolj problematične soseske. V sklepu razpravljamo o ugotovitvah študije, predstavljamo njene glavne omejitve in podajamo predloge za nadaljnje raziskovanje.

Published: July 2021

Poglavje zajema temeljit pregled prispevkov in študij raziskovalcev ter različnih strokovnjakov na področju mladoletniškega prestopništva v Sloveniji po letu 1991. Tako teoretični kot statistični pregled v prispevku se opirata izključno le na izsledke slovenskih avtorjev v navedenem času. Sprva bomo predstavili obdobje adolescence, ki je kritično za razvoj prestopništva in predstavili dejavnike, ki najbolj (so)vplivajo na prestopništvo. Nato bomo predstavili glavne ugotovitve slovenskih raziskovalcev, ki so preučevali mladoletniško prestopništvo po različnih tematikah, predstavili glavne izsledke raziskav, ki so jih izvedli slovenski strokovnjaki in vključujejo vsaj določene elemente mladoletniškega prestopništva. Opravili bomo tudi pregled dostopnih policijskih poročil in statističnih podatkov, na katere so se sklicevali slovenski avtorji, ter prikazali položaj mladoletniške kriminalitete v Sloveniji. Ugotavljali bomo, katere oblike kriminalitete so najpogostejše, če prevalenca narašča, in ali obstaja trend v mladoletniški kriminaliteti. Na koncu bomo v razpravi še enkrat povzeli glavne ugotovitve in podali predloge za prihodnje raziskovanje.

This article analyzes the increasing effectiveness of extensive defects and chronic cicatricial laryngeal and tracheal stenosis treatment with the allogeneic cartilage implantation. The study included 63 patients with an age interval of 18–65 years and a disease duration from 3 months to 6 years. Radiologic, functional and endoscopic investigations were carried out, after which the patients underwent laryngotracheoplasty using allogeneic cartilage, which has low antigenicity, affects the growth of the recipient’s tissues and prevents scarring. After the discharge, a dynamic outpatient observation was carried out: 2 times a week – 10 days; once a week – 21 days, once a month - 6 months. The study revealed that a differentiated approach to the treatment of patients with stenosis of the laryngeal-tracheal complex using the allogeneic cartilage made it possible to fully rehabilitate of 59 (94%) of 63 patients (100%). Only 4 (6%) patients had partial resorption or rejection of implanted cartilaginous allografts that led to the failure of the laryngeal and tracheal walls in the late postoperative period. The use of the allogeneic cartilage implantation in reconstructive surgery has proved to be highly effective in the laryngeal and tracheal framework defects, resulted from prolonged stenosis, major surgical interventions, and trauma.

A review of scientific Russian and foreign articles devoted to the development of endogenous intoxication in chronic inflammatory pathology of the lymphoepithelial pharyngeal ring is carried out. Chronic tonsillitis and adenoiditis in children are one of the unsolved issues in otorhinolaryngology. Chronic tonsillitis is a chronic inflammation of the palatine tonsils characterized by recurrent exacerbations in the form of tonsillitis and a general toxic-allergic reaction. Adenoid vegetation is a pathological hypertrophy of the pharyngeal tonsil. Chronic adenoiditis is a chronic polyetiologic disease, which is based on a violation of the physiological immune processes of the pharyngeal tonsil. In children, one cannot talk about an isolated inflammation of the pharyngeal tonsil, since as a result of exposure to antigens, an immune response arises, which involves all structures of the lymphoepithelial pharyngeal ring in the process, therefore some authors distinguish the term «adenotonsillitis». With pronounced activation of microflora in the nasopharynx and oropharynx, the body’s resistance to pathogenic microorganisms decreases, as a result of which decay products and toxins damage the vascular endothelium, disrupt their permeability and, penetrating through the epithelial barrier, contribute to the development of chronic intoxication and sensitization of the body. Endogenous intoxication is a polyetiologic and polypathogenetic syndrome characterized by the accumulation of endogenous toxins in tissues and biological fluids. Diagnostics of the endogenous intoxication severity includes a number of clinical and laboratory indicators and immunological markers. But, despite the constant improvement of the research methods, the issue of endotoxicosis diagnosis in chronic tonsillitis and adenoiditis remains insufficiently studied. As a result of the inadequate diagnosis, there is often a simultaneous removal of the pharyngeal and palatine tonsils, which in turn can lead to irreversible consequences.

Cost-Effectiveness Analysis of Positive Airway Pressure in Patient with Obstructive Sleep Apnea
Authors: Kim Hansol , Kim Jin Kook , Cho Jae Hoon
Published: July 2021

Background and Objectives: Positive airway pressure (PAP) is effective at reducing the number of complications in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). To the best of our knowledge, no cost-effectiveness analysis of PAP has been conducted in Korea. Subjects and Method: We classified subjects into two groups, those with moderate-to-severe OSA who used PAP after polysomnography (PAP treatment group) and those who did not receive a diagnosis and treatment (control group), and compared their medical expenses over a period of 10 years. The incidence rate of common complications and accidents (coronary heart disease, heart failure, stroke, depression, diabetes, vehicular accidents, and work-related accidents) with or without PAP was adopted through a literature review. The average medical expenses for treating each complication and accident were found by searching several databases. The analysis consisted of a payer’s perspective and a societal perspective. Results: The incidence of all complications was higher in the control group than in the PAP treatment group. However, since the absolute incidence rate was not high in either group and medical expenses in Korea are low, the expected treatment cost was not high. In contrast, the PAP rental fee was relatively high. To obtain 1 unit of disability-adjusted life year, it costs 40,873,288 won from the payer’s perspective and 31,791,810 won from the societal perspective. Conclusion: PAP treatment reduces patient complications and extends their lifespan, but costs must be considered.
Laterality of Ethmoid Roof in a Korean Population
Authors: Koo Hyung Bon , Kown Jung-Hun , Lee Jae Hoon
Published: July 2021

Background and Objectives: The olfactory fossa is an important anatomical structure to prevent surgical complications such as skull base injury and meningitis. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference in lateral lamella length (LLL) between the left and right sides, a topic that has been studied rarely in Korea. Subjects and Method: We analyzed 592 left and right sides of 296 PNS CTs. We measured LLL as the distance between the fovea ethmoidalis and the horizontal cribriform plate in the olfactory fossa of the coronal surface where the crista galli was observed. Results: The average LLL on the left side was significantly longer than that on the right. Age and LLL showed a negative correlation. Multiple regression analysis revealed younger age and left side as independent variables for predicting increasing LLL. Conclusion: There was a significant difference between the two sides of LLL on sinus CT in Koreans. Before sinus surgery, the asymmetry of the ethmoid roof must be assessed, even by skilled doctors. If the height of the ethmoid roof is asymmetric, extra care is required during sinus surgery.
​Effect of Phosphorus and Sulphur Application on Growth, Yield Attributes, Nutrient Uptake, Quality and Economics of Blackgram (Vigna mungo L.): A Review
Authors: Ramamoorthy P. , Ariraman R.
Published: July 2021

Phosphorus and sulphur is a key element involved in various functions in growth and metabolism of blackgram. It is frequently a major limiting nutrient for plant growth in most Indian soils. Black gram is the major source of protein for the vegetarian diet and important pulse crop both in terms of area and production. Pulses have been in focus in recent times due to the continuous upswing in their prices. The low productivity of blackgram is due to intensive farming practices and use of exhaustive and high yield cultivars and imbalanced external fertilization. Therefore proper fertilization (site specific and balanced fertilization) is needed to increase the production and productivity of blackgram. Blackgram is very much responsive to phosphorus and sulphur application. In crop plants, the nutrient interactions are generally measured in terms of growth response, yield response and changes in concentration and uptake of nutrients. Studies have indicated synergistic effect between phosphorus and sulphur but their relationship depends on their rate of application and crop species etc. A better understanding of nutrient interaction is helpful in maximizing fertilizer use efficiency and net profit. The most of the results revealed that different levels of P and S had a significant effect on growth attributes, yield attributes, grain and haulm yield and quality prarameters of blackgram. The conjoint application up to 60 kg P2O5 ha-1 + 40 kg S ha-1 were found to be superior and synergistic in improving the growth and yield attributes of blackgram. The present paper is a critical review from research findings of eminent scientists on sulphur and phosphorus effect over black gram.
​The Effect of Platelet Rich Plasma on Wound Healing in the Repair of Experimental Penile Fractures
Authors: Duz E. , Beger B. , Saglam K. , Duz E. , Yildirim S.
Published: July 2021

Background: Penile fractures are caused by the rupture of the tunica albuginea and the underlying layers of corpus cavernosum as a result of the exposure of the erect penis to blunt trauma. Although conservative treatment methods have been recommended in former studies, recent studies favor early surgical options. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is a blood product rich in cytokines and several growth factors, obtained from the patient’s own blood commonly used to stimulate healing in acute and chronic wound treatments. The efficiency of homologous PRP treatment in rats with penile fractures have been assessed in terms of clinical manifestation and histopathological findings in the present study. Methods: Thirty-five rats were randomly divided into five groups, each containing seven rats as follows: 1. Conservative group: Following the formation of penile fracture, medical interventions were not initiated on fracture area and the wound was left for secondary healing. 2. Bandage group: Following the formation of penile fracture, self-adherent elastic bandage (3M Coban) was applied to the fracture area for three days. 3. Primary repair group: Following the formation of a penile fracture, the lacerated area was repaired with 7/0 vicryl primary sutures. 4. Primary repair + Homologous Platelet Rich Plasma group: Before the operation, 10 cc of blood was taken from one rat under general anesthesia by intracardiac puncture and PRP material was prepared from this blood. Homologous PRP was topically administered on the wound in the fracture area and then the penile fracture was repaired with 7/0 vicryl as simple separate stitches. 5. Non-operative control group: Surgical procedures were not applied to this group; it was used as the control group. Result: The effect of the PRP treatments on the surgical repair options in the rats with penile fractures was investigated. The present findings revealed that following the repair with conservative treatments, the fracture format persisted and various complications like infection, oedema, excessive fibrosis and hyperemia were encountered. On the other hand, the best healing was achieved in primary repair + PRP group in terms of clinical manifestation and histopathological findings.

Published: July 2021

Background: Understanding of ovarian follicular dynamics and endocrine regulation is essential to design and use interventions to optimize reproductive efficiency. Bos indicus and Bos taurus cows have some differences in their follicular dynamics and ovarian steroidal hormones. The present study was planned to understand follicular dynamics vis-a-vis ovarian steroids profiles in Sahiwal cattle. Methods: The study was conducted in normal cyclic, pluriparous, non-lactating Sahiwal cows (n=7). Trans-rectal ultrasonography was performed to record the location, size, number of follicles and size of corpus luteum (CL) from the beginning, till the end of experiment. The dataset was used to characterize the follicular wave emergence, growth, regression, time of selection and ovulation of the dominant follicle in each cow. Result: Three Sahiwal cows showed two wave and four cows showed three wave estrous cycles with mean interovulatory length of 20.33±0.33 and 22.50±0.28 days, respectively. No significant difference was recorded in the maximum diameter of corpus luteum, P4 and E2 plasma levels between 2-wave and 3-wave estrous cycles. The peak progesterone values of 6.00±0.91 and 6.2±1.2 ng/ml and peak estradiol values of 15.83±0.60 and 14.31±0.44 ng/ml were recorded in 2-wave and 3-wave estrous cycle, respectively. The results showed that Sahiwal cows had 2-wave and 3-wave estrous cycle and the 3-wave estrous cycle had comparatively longer inter-ovulatory period and smaller maximum diameter of second wave dominant follicle than 2-wave estrous cycle.

Authors: Ertuş Mehmet Macit
Published: July 2021

Background: Sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia) is a forage crop that yields high in arid and calcareous soils and is cultivated in large areas. There aren’t many genetic diversity studies on the varieties of cultured sainfoin. This study was conducted to determine the genetic diversity and the degree of relationship between 23 cultivated landraces and one registered variety. Methods: To take samples from the populations, seeds were sown in the field in 2014. Samples were taken from the young leaves of the plants and preserved at -80oC in same year. RAPD and ISSR primers were used in the study. The bands obtained as a result of PCR were recorded and the data of both methods were also evaluated by combining them. Result: In the study, 5 RAPD and 4 ISSR primers were used and a total of 49 bands were obtained. Of 29 bands obtained using RAPD primers, 20 were found to be polymorphic and of 20 bands obtained using ISSR primers, 15 were found to be polymorphic. It was found that there was a very low correlation between the two methods. Using RAPD and ISSR markers and RAPD + ISSR combination, the similarity index among populations was found to be between 0.25-0.95, 0.5-1.00 and 0.45-0.91, respectively. The Nei’s genetic diversity index was found to be between 0.3365, 0.2656 and 0.3018 with RAPD, ISSR primers and RAPD + ISSR combination, respectively. Based on the dendrograms obtained using RAPD, ISSR primers and RAPD + ISSR combination, the populations under analysis were classified into 3, 3 and 5 groups, respectively. With this study, the closest populations were identified and a significantly high genetic diversity was detected.

Hiatal hernia amounts to 90% of all diaphragmatic hernias. According to data obtained from large-scale epidemiological studies in Europe and the USA, esophageal hernias may be revealed in 30-40% of the population, 15% among which require surgical treatment. The occurrence rate equals 91% for small hernias, 6% for large hernias and 3% for giant hernias. The article presents a review of literature dated 2011-2020 and devoted to results of operative treatment of hiatal hernia of different sizes. The search for the publications was performed in the following databases: Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, e-library, Ulrich's Periodicals Directory, Google Scholar and AGRIS. There is a large number of methods for surgical correction of diaphragmatic hernia. However, strict indications to their application have not been developed to the date. Alloplasty provides for improvement of the clinical picture and of the patients’ quality of life, but bears quite a high risk of recurrence. To this day, treatment of hiatal hernia frequently involves application of various prosthetic materials with their certain advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, the search for optimal surgical methods for treatment of diaphragmatic hernias of different sizes continues and requires further investigation.

Tension-type headache (TTH) is the most common form of primary headache. The aim of the review is to analyse research on epidemiology and triggers of TTH. The search for full-text articles in Russian and English languages published within the past decade was performed in E-Library, PubMed, Springer, ClinicalKey and Google Scholar databases. A total of seven Russian and forty-two foreign epidemiological studies have been analysed. Thus, the global prevalence of TTH amounts to 32% (4.4% among these cases are chronic TTH). In Russia, its prevalence is 52.4%. The leading TTH triggers are stress and anxiety-depressive disorders. Insomnia, clinical and meteorological conditions, the ethnos and culture are possible triggers as well. Despite the high occurrence of this primary form of headache in clinical pictures of nervous diseases, it remains insufficiently considered to the date. The issue of TTH requires further investigation.

Aim of study. To evaluate the quality of life of children with total anomalous pulmonary venous connection corrected via two methods: the “sutureless” one and the conventional biatrial one. Material and methods. This pilot bicentral simple blind prospective randomised study presents evaluation of patients’ quality of life after surgical correction of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in 1-year-old children via two methods: the “sutureless” correction (20 patients) and conventional biatrial correction (20 patients). The total sample size amounted to 40 patients. Results. All indices were at quite high levels. The indices of treatment, treatment-related anxiety, cognitive problems and sociability were significantly higher in the group treated via the “sutureless” method. However, the myocardium-related issues and symptoms as well as the appearance perception did not differ between the groups. Conclusion. The quality of life of children after surgical correction of total anomalous pulmonary venous connection in long-term postoperative period remains elevated in both groups despite the high variety of complications

Aim of study. The inferior mesenteric vein has three variants of the ostium. Each variant of the inferior mesenteric vein ostium has its morphological peculiarities. According to literatures, the occurrence is different between the variants of the confluence. The aim of this study was to determine the morphometric characteristics of veins forming different variants of the inferior mesenteric vein ostium and the occurrence of the two formation types of this vein (the magistral one and the transitional one). Material and methods. Vessels (inferior mesenteric veins) of 53 male patients undergoing treatment in surgery departments of the Krasnoyarsk Regional Clinical Hospital No.1 were enhanced with contrasting agents, studied and analysed. The work was performed using 3D-models of the vascular bed of the portal system (GE Advantage Workstations, Siemens singo.via) based on MSCT of the abdominal cavity with bolus contrast enhancement using the Ultravist-370 agent. We applied an original method for manufacturing of corrosion preparations of vessels (RF Patent for an invention “method of manufacturing models of human rectal veins” No.2545921 dated 26.02.15) and studied morphological parameters using 85 vein models of the colon, the sigmoid colon and the rectum. Results. The occurrence rates are different for the variants of the inferior mesenteric vein confluence (serving as the root for the portal vein in 5.5%, as the tributary of the splenic vein in 17.5% and draining into the superior mesenteric vein in 77% of the cases). The length of the inferior mesenteric vein differs for its confluence variants and varies from 54.5mm to 108.5mm; the diameter varies from 4.0 to 7.2mm. The magistral formation type of the inferior mesenteric vein is revealed in 23% of the cases and is characteristic to its drainage into the splenic vein or to its immediate junction with the portal artery trunk. In 77% of the cases, its formation type is transitional. Conclusion. The knowledge on ostium formation variants of the inferior mesenteric vein, inflow of its roots, characteristics of branches of the studied vessel is necessary for surgeons performing operations on the upper part of the abdominal cavity and for radiologists interpreting the images obtained at the stage before the operative intervention
Basic principles of odontopreparation for non-removable orthopedic structures (literature review)

Published: July 2021

Introduction. The actual problem of dentists-orthopedists at the present time is a violation of the odontopreparation protocol and, as a result, poor-quality fixation of various non-removable orthopedic structures. For a strong and reliable fixation of non-removable orthopedic structures, special requirements must be imposed on them in terms of the shape and surface of the support of the processed tooth. These requirements include: parallelism of the walls of the prepared tooth (must be cylindrical); parallelism of the vertical walls of the stumps of the teeth, high-quality gingival ledge [1, 2]. Qualitatively prepared teeth for orthopedic structures, observance of parallelism of the walls create optimal conditions for stable fixation of orthopedic structures. Correctly executed gingival ledge promotes durable fixation of the crown and eliminates the likelihood of infection under it. After analyzing a large volume of domestic and foreign literature, it can be concluded that the creation of various methods of odontopreparation with the task of creating the most favorable supragingival part of the tooth for further fixation of the orthopedic structure is a significant problem in modern dentistry. The creation and clinical testing of DNT (dental navigation technologies) allows for accurate quality control of the performed odontopreparation. The purpose of this article was to analyze the existing methods of odontopreparation and identify the most effective ones among them.
The Hidden Variables Theory
Authors: Fried Israel
Published: July 2021

The book presents a new concept on several physics topics. The initial values are non-relativistic quantities of subatomic particles which the values obtained in experiments are actually their relativistic reflection. The subjects in the book are presented in such order that each new topic is based on the development of its predecessor that explains where it stems from. The book presents methods of analyzing traditional physics concepts to extract hidden embedded information that reveals new variables which are combined with those known. The new formulas yield results that match experiments accurately. It presents discoveries as: The electric charge of subatomic particle results directly from its OAM (Orbital Angular Momentum). OAM Offset exhibits neutral state. The electron mass is a magnitude that expresses quantitatively the square of its magnetic flux quantum, hence this mass in the Wave Function yields solutions that their squared values represent the flow pattern of magnetic flux surrounding electrons at energy levels, contrary to probability density describing odds of locating electron in atom. In calculation of hydrogen's wave function the electron and proton constitute one entity. Hence zero OAM at ground state determined by computational and experimental means is due to OAM offset of electron and proton rotation in opposite directions at center of mass. The proton, neutron and all baryons consist of three energy levels on which the quarks are orbiting. The third energy level of 80.5Gev plays a major role in the weak force while it is filled by charged mesons that are emitted thru W boson while acquiring the level's energy. The OAM of the orbiting quarks are third or two thirds of the reduced Planck constant. The proton missing spin is resolved by the OAM of quarks. The Electron is bound state composition of a negative Pion and an Electron's neutrino. The theory predicts a neutral boson of 160Gev (Accompanied by W+ boson from 240Gev decaying particle).

Authors: Costa Carlos Natália , Oliveira Miguel , Oliveira Ivo
Published: July 2021

Purpose – Validation of the Human Resource Management (HRM) practices used by Portuguese hotels, their degree of importance, and the alignment between their strategic dimension and their operational implementation. Design – The study was developed using quantitative analysis, supported by a questionnaire shared with top managers of hotel companies in the Portuguese Hotels national register. Methodology – The HRM practices integrated in the study were the result of those identified in the literature review, the global HR barometer developed by the Michael Page company, and the HRM practices integrated in the Label Pro HR project, developed by the Mediterranean Federation from Human Resources in association with HRM Associations and European higher education institutions. Findings – In Portugal, HRM in the hotel industry is beginning to be understood as a way to achieve competitive advantage. 92,7% of the top managers in our sample reported that the existence of an HR department grants a competitive advantage. Recruitment and Selection, Training and Development, Performance management and evaluation, and Safety and Hygiene at Work are the most important HRM practices. We conclude that the characteristics of hotels (classification and size) are crucial for HRM, their organizational processes, and the strategic importance assigned to the function. Originality of the research – The study is innovative because it uses a questionnaire specifically designed for the study, and which considers a high number of HRM practices. The sample consists of 124 of the 1.515 registered hotels (8,2%).
