Authors: Mančić Milena , Raos Miomir , Mančić Marko , Protić Milan , Medenica Milena , Rajić Milena
Published: November 2021

Improving the energy efficiency of facilities should reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and independence from energy imports, increase jobs and energy security, as well as encourage researchers in further research to be creative, innovative and competitive. With about 40% of primary energy consumption accompanied by 36% of greenhouse gas emissions, the construction sector is one of the largest consumers in Europe. Energy consumption of the construction sector in Serbia has a significant share in total energy consumption of 48%, 65% of which refers to energy consumption in residential buildings. The legislation on Energy efficiency in Serbia implies a specific energy consumption of 65[kWh/m2] for one apartment buildings and 60[kh/m2] for multi-apartment buildings.  In this paper, a settlement with 50 apartment buildings is analyzed, impact on building envelope construction and applied heating system type to carbon and primary energy footprint is estimated using the degree-day method. Although the mentioned specific energy consumption limit is determined by national legislation, this paper tackles the benefits and costs of reducing energy and carbon footprint by reducing carbon and primary energy footprint to a value lower than the mentioned limit.

Authors: Luna Becerril Edurnet Jhaquelin , Juárez Velázquez Emmanuel Tonatihu , Meléndez Ramírez Adolfo
Published: November 2021

En el presente artículo se muestra el uso de una técnica de inteligencia artificial denominada machine learning, para detectar los estados de somnolencia y de vigilia en los conductores vehiculares. La somnolencia se genera cuando el individuo está con un alto nivel de estrés o cansancio, lo cual puede provocar un accidente; cuando está en alerta, se le denomina estado de vigilia. Para su medición, se toman en cuenta dos variables: el pulso cardíaco y la temperatura corporal. El pulso cardíaco se midió con un sensor, a través del método de fotopletismografía (ppg). La temperatura corporal se tomó mediante un sensor infrarrojo, sin contacto. Los datos obtenidos a través de la lectura sirvieron para crear una colección de datos y realizar el entrenamiento de una red neuronal con aprendizaje supervisado. Posteriormente, la información fue clasificada mediante este sistema de adquisición de datos.

In this present analysis, the measurement of optimized molecular structure and molecular hyperpolarizability (βtotal) of simple coumarin molecules were investigated using the HF method at 6-311G basis set level Gaussian09W. The measured nonlinear optical parameters (NLO); polarizability (α), the anisotropy of the polarizability (Δα), and first-order molecular hyperpolarizability (βtotal) of the studied coumarins indicate promising optical properties. The energy difference between HOMO and LUMO helped determine the molecular descriptors; global hardness (η), softness (σ) electronegativity (χ) Chemical potential (μ), and electrophilicity index (ω) in gas and different solvents. The molecular hyperpolarizability (βtotal) and descriptors that have been calculated in the solvent medium were taken into consideration through the Polarizable Continuum Model (PCM), This study shows the high static hyperpolarizability exhibited by HNR, FXT, and CNT and offers the potential the materials may have for NLO devices. The molecular descriptors, hardness, and chemical potential values are high for CNT and UCAcompared to other studied coumarins. This suggested that CNT and CA have the most significant chemical potential resistance to change the number of electrons among the other molecules.

Invasive alien plants tend to grow much faster than non-invasive plants. The colonization by AM fungi is confirmed by the presence of mycorrhizal structures in the roots of invasive plants. The pattern of hyphae and arbuscules denotes Arum and Paris type of AM fungal morphology. The most common and abundant invasive plants from Asteraceae family were selected for the study. Ageratum conyzoides, Mikania micrantha, Ageratum haustonianum and Bidens Pilosa were selected and eventually showed that they have a high percentage of mycorrhizal colonization. Arum type of morphology is found in three of the plant species and Paris type of morphology is found in one of the species. The extent of AM fungal colonization is fairly high ranging from 60% to 90% among the studied plants. The percentage of arbuscular colonization is highest in Bidens pilosa and the percentage of vesicle and hyphal colonization is highest in Ageratum conyzoides.

Ampulla of vater carcinomas (AVCs) are malignancies that occur in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. AVCs mainly remain asymptomatic until the more advanced stages of tumor, making it imperative to identify early diagnostic tools. In addition to this, it is pertinent to also understand the factors that may contribute to cancer progression. In this study, we have collected paraffin embedded tissues from 38 AVC patients and blood samples from 38 controls to study the mutational profile of NRAS in AVCs. In addition to this, general characteristics such as tumor size, stage, differentiation and tumor subtype were taken into account in this study. The lifestyle factors were obtained from the patients and the controls were matched accordingly. We observed no mutations in the NRAS gene in our cohort. Studies with a larger cohort are necessary to better understand the mutational profile of AVCs to provide better therapeutic and treatment options. More research is essential in this area to pinpoint the molecular landscape of AVCs

The Procedure for Amending the Satversme of the Republic of Latvia and the Substance of Restrictions Established by It
Authors: Balodis Ringolds
Published: November 2021

The article is dedicated to the mechanism for protecting the Satversme [Constitution] of the Republic of Latvia (hereafter – the Satversme) – procedure for amending it and elements thereof – restrictions (quotas of participation, approval, readings, etc.), examining the amendments to the general and basic articles, as well as the theory of core. The parliament and the people may amend the Satversme in a referendum, therefore the article also turns briefly to the institution of the people’s vote or plebiscite or referendum (Latin – referendum). The article aims to elucidate the effectiveness of the procedure for amending the Satversme and provide answers to the following questions: (1) Whether the procedure for amending the Satversme ensures protection of the national constitutional order on sufficient level and does not permit introduction into the Satversme of ill-considered or antidemocratic proposals; (2) Whether the legislator, aiming to ensure constitutional stability, has not set the exaggeratedly high quorum of voters’ participation in the referendum for all articles of the Satversme and whether the mechanism of referendum in Latvia has not become incapable of functioning? In the framework of the article, the author also will try to reach concrete proposals that would improve the procedure for amending the Satversme, would increase citizens’ involvement in the matters of public administration, which, in turn, would reinforce the people’s trust in their State. In considering the proposals, the author will focus also on the issue of national security because amendments to the Satversme and referendums, clearly, may be used as factors for destabilising the State.
The Place of Contract for Digital Thing in Latvian Contract Law Within the Context of the Consumer Sale Directives 2019
Authors: Kārkliņš Jānis , Mantrov Vadim
Published: November 2021

The article aims to explore the place of contract for digital thing (i.e., a good with digital elements; digital content; and digital service) from the point of view of Latvian contract law considering the recently adopted Consumer Sale Directives 2019 (Directives 2019/770 and 2019/771). The topicality of the article’s theme is rooted in transposition of these directives into Latvian national law. On the one hand, it is necessary to find a proper place for classification of contract for a digital good considering approaches and contents of Latvian contract law for the appropriate understanding of this contract within Latvian contract law and, speaking broadly, Latvian civil law. On the other, the transposition of these directives would mean that digital goods for nonconsumers will remain without explicit regulation because these directives are intended to be transposed into consumer rights protection law being as lex specialis without introducing any amendments into general contract law. At the beginning, the present article provides an overview of the place of contract for a digital thing before transposition of the Consumer Sale Directives 2019 into Latvian consumer rights protection law, i.e., in the current regulation of Latvian contract law. The article continues with analysis of the expected place of contract for a digital thing after the currently intended transposition of these directives. Afterwards the article addresses the consequences of that transposition. The article concludes with summary following the discussion contained therein.
Doctrine of State Continuity. Latvia’s Experience
Authors: Ziemele Ineta , Lerhis Ainārs , Pleps Jānis , Lazdiņš Jānis
Published: November 2021

The article examines the scope and consequences the continuity of the Republic of Latvia in several domains and places them within a broader context of Latvia’s history. Firstly, it describes and analyses some functions of the State of Latvia which continued to be performed during the years of occupation by the USSR and Nazi Germany (1940–1990) and, secondly, the significance of the de iure effect of the Satversme of the Republic of Latvia of 15 February 1922 during the years of occupation and following the restoration of the independence of the state. The authors advance the thesis that the occupation regimes of the communist USSR and Nazi Germany failed to extinguish the existence of the Republic of Latvia as an internationally recognised subject of international law, moreover, Latvia in practice did not discontinue performing some functions of the state. Of course, full restoration of the independence of the state on the basis of values enshrined in the Satversme occurred only after coup d’état in the Soviet Union.
The Aims and Discussions of the Foundation of Land Reform in Estonia After the WWI
Authors: Luts-Sootak Marju , Visnapuu Karin
Published: November 2021

The land reform was one of the most important tasks of independent Estonia after World War I. The groundwork started even before gaining its independence which shows the significance of this extensive reform. Similar reforms were carried out in other Eastern- and Middle-European countries after World War I, but the Estonian land reform was considered to be among the most radical ones at that time period. The decisions about the scope, intensity and the radicality of a reform would influence the later outcome, therefore it is important to understand the legislative discussions in the beginning and during the reform. In the article we will examine the legislative discussions of Estonian Constituent Assembly and Parliament about the expropriation of largescale estates in Estonia, the legal solutions and, consequently, the reasons why the question about compensation and redistribution of the expropriated land was left unregulated in the Land Reform Act.
Functionality Problems of Collegial Government Institutions During the COVID-19 Pandemic and Solutions for the Future
Authors: Balodis Ringolds , Danovskis Edvīns
Published: November 2021

This article analyses the ways for ensuring continuity of operation of the state collegial decisionmaking authorities – the Saeima [the Parliament of the Republic of Latvia], the Cabinet and the local government councils during Covid-19 pandemic. The work of the parliament, the government and local government in the emergency situation is examined, mainly focusing on the initiated form of remote work. Notably, in this respect, Latvia’s experience is unique since the Saeima’s e-platform is one of the first instances in the world where the parliament fully operated in the virtual environment. The article also analyses the role of the Cabinet as the crisis management centre during the emergency situation, focusing also on accessibility and other problematic issues in the remote proceedings of the local government councils and committees. The article concludes that successful solutions were found for the parliament’s work in the virtual environment within the existing legal framework. In the emergency situation, the local government councils and their structural units also had to try the forms of remote work. Additionally, the authors of the article have tried to provide assessment to determine which digital solutions employed during the pandemic should be used in post-crisis situations.
Re- composición de la ruralidad en el imaginario urbano: el caso de las quebradas de Valparaíso

Sus proyecciones, desde lo que se plantea como futuro diseño urbano, los criterios que aplican los diversos instrumentos de planificación territorial vigentes o capaces de ser implementados, los vacíos normativos que acrecientan su situación; son algunos de los innumerables aspectos que el presente artículo considera, en un intento de acercamiento, hacia cuales podrían ser los ajustes necesarios a realizar para materializar la oportunidad de tener una ciudad- puerto diversa e inclusiva.
Derivas pintoresquistas en el espacio turísticos
Authors: Zamudio Vega Laura Susana
Published: November 2021

La comunicación propuesta es parte de una investigación más amplia sobre la relación arquitectura y turismo. En dicho estudio constatamos una creciente influencia de los imaginarios sociales en la configuración de los asentamientos turísticos, tanto en sus aspectos formales como en su uso. En síntesis, para dar a los turistas lo que esperan encontrar en los lugares visitados y lograr que el negocio funcione, los promotores turísticos han ido “adaptándolos” a lo que los turistas imaginan de ellos. Así, el imaginario de un lugar, por tópico que sea, termina configurando el espacio y su uso. En el turismo contemporáneo, el empleo del pintoresquismo es una tendencia en auge para promover lugares que pretenden ser turísticos, sobre todo en aquellos destinos inmersos en los entornos rurales, las ciudades intermedias, pequeños barrios dentro de ciudades ya turísticas, y/o lugares donde la actividad turística parece la alternativa más viable para el crecimiento económico. En base a esto, el tema que aquí se desarrolla busca explicar a través de diversos ejemplos las formas en que puede materializarse el imaginario del pintoresquismo en los enclaves turísticos, incluso en los patrimoniales, señalando las consecuencias (físicas, estéticas, mediáticas y culturales) que ha traído para estos casos.
Derechos colectivos y propiedad colectiva de territorios de los pueblos indígenas de la provincia de Sucumbíos, Ecuador
Authors: OLLO GORRITI TXURI
Published: November 2021

En las últimas décadas las reivindicaciones de sus derechos, a los pueblos indígenas les han llevado a la necesidad de revisar los fundamentos teóricos básicos de los derechos humanos, de esos derechos llamados universales pero que en la realidad son violados continuamente, afrontando situaciones de vulnerabilidad y desigualdad. En esta creciente expansión de la colonización y del sistema capitalista, ven reducir su libertad de movimiento, por lo que urge la necesidad de emprender nuevas formas de resistencia ante las graves amenazas de mantenimiento y utilización de sus tierras, territorios y recursos naturales. Con la vindicación del reconocimiento de los derechos colectivos, tanto económicos como culturales, hoy estos pueblos indígenas que han sido la materia prima de las políticas de modernización y desarrollo, se convierten en el motor de los cambios de paradigma social, criticando el mantenimiento de privilegios raciales, sexistas, clasistas y colonia-listas, aportando parámetros y reflexiones para una auténtica descolonización tanto del pensamiento como de la práctica, llevando a cabo proyectos emancipadores.
El enfoque territorial del desarrollo rural: herramienta de análisis
Authors: ROMERO JUAN
Published: November 2021

El trabajo plantea el análisis del concepto territorio como herramienta analítica de las transformaciones en el espacio social rural, configurando territorios de baja densidad poblacional con capacidades de integrar di-versos sectores productivos teniendo a las ocupaciones no agrarias como un indicador (no excluyente) de las mismas. Se traza el recorrido conceptual en los diferentes contextos de modelos de desarrollo rural impulsados en nuestro continente, los matices, cambios y “remiradas” al mismo a la “luz” del conocimiento generado por las experiencias desarrolladas. Hasta llegar a la actualidad, en donde se propone el enfoque del Desarrollo Territorial Rural, como herramienta analítica conceptual que permite observar la dinámica de las relaciones sociales en un espacio social que se configura con dinámicas sociales que el enfoque agrario no visibiliza, teniendo presente que las mismas no son homogéneas en el continente e inclusive países. Así, se procura aportar conceptualmente a “saltar” la dicotomía teórica campo —ciudad, urbano— rural y comenzar a observar a la sociedad rural latinoamericana como un espacio social capaz de integrar diversos sectores productivos, espacios urbanos pequeños y medianos, diversas culturas y configurar un sistema territorial con dinámicas propias, emergentes y también capaz de reproducir las desigualdades históricas de dicha sociedad rural.

The intellectual community as a critic of political elites: Georgian experience of the second half of the 2010s
Authors:   Voronezh State University, Kirchanov Maksim
Published: November 2021

Introduction. The author believes that the relationship between power and intellectuals can range from the active participation of the intelligentsia in politics to the disillusionment of the intellectual community in politics and in the ruling elites. The author analyzes the process in Georgian contexts. It is assumed that politics as a process has ceased to attract public interest, despite a dynamic political life. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to analyze the process of public disillusionment with politics in the modern Georgian intellectual community. Methods. Methodologically, the article is based on the principles of analyzing intellectual communities with the elements of the universal method of historicism and a comparative approach, which make it possible to identify and systematize the main features of the process of depoliticization of Georgian society. Scientific novelty. The author presents a new interpretation of the role of intellectuals in the processes of social disappointment in politics, based on the analysis of original sources in the Georgian language. Results. It is presumed that 1) Georgian intellectual community in the second half of the 2000s began to lose active interest in its own participation in politics; 2) political parties are also forced to acknowledge the crisis of loyalty because the elites and society develop independently, and their interests coincide rarely; 3) culture became an alternative project that attracts civil society more than real politics; 4) the active political participation of the Church assists to the erosion of political culture, forcing intellectuals to become disillusioned with politics, perceived as a clannish and corrupt sphere of activity. Conclusions. It is shown that disillusionment with politics in the second half of the 2000s and the gradual migration of intellectuals to cultural practices replaced the politicization of intellectual communities, which determined the main vectors of Georgian development in the previous period.
Integrasi Linear Regression dan Aggregate Planning untuk Perencanaan dan Pengendalian Produksi Leaf Spring Hino OW 190/200 di Industri Komponen Otomotif
Authors: Taufik Deni Ahmad , Setiawan Indra , Wahid Muhammad , Rochim Abdul , Tosin Muhammad
Published: November 2021

Production planning and control in a manufacturing company involves all production activities from raw material requirements to finished products. The Jakarta Automotive Components Industry is engaged in manufacturing which produces leaf spring products that are sent to several regular customers, namely the Automotive Assembly Industry. Leaf spring Hino OW 190/200 is the type of spring ordered and shipped to PT. HMMI. Based on data for the January-December 2019 period, the demand for Hino OW 190/200 leaf spring has fluctuated quite significantly. The purpose of this study was to plan and control the production process of Leaf Spring Hino OW 190/200. Forecasting for the next 12 periods is based on demand plots from the previous 12 periods, calculating the Aggregate production plan, determining the Master Production Schedule (MPS), calculating raw material requirements using the Hybrid and Lot for Lot methods. The results showed that to support the smooth production, it can be seen that the production planning for forecasting calculations using the Linear Regression method generates a model Y=319,575+3,723X. Calculation of the need for main raw materials and components in 2020 uses the Hybrid and Lot for Lot method, which is 256,182.88 kg, much smaller than the company's calculations based on 2019 data, namely 259,827.40 kg.

Published: November 2021

In this work, the essential oils (EOs) obtained by hydrodistillation from the aerial parts of five Artemisia species: A. alba Turra, A. pontica L., A. scoparia Waldst. & Kitam., A. vulgaris L., originating from Serbia and A. umbelliformis Lam. subsp. eriantha (Ten.) Vall?s-Xirau & Oliva Bra?as, originating from Montenegro were analyzed by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC/MS). In total, 91 compounds were detected, and 78 were identified. Even though a high number of compounds were detected, each sample had only 18 to 35, attesting to a great diversity of compounds within these taxa. Depending on the species and the locality (geographical origin), the EO was dominated by either monoterpenes or sesquiterpenes, with artemisia ketone, 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol), fragranol, ?-thujone, ?-thujone and myrcene being the dominant compounds. The obtained results were coupled with extensive literature data and used in multivariate chemometric approach to assess the chemophenetic significance of the EO.
Using LIWC to Analyze Participants' Psychological Processing in Accounting JDM Research
Authors: Aghazadeh Sanaz , Hoang Kris , Pomeroy Bradley
Published: November 2021

This paper provides methodological guidance for judgment and decision-making (JDM) researchers in accounting who are interested in using the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) text analysis program to analyze research participants' written responses to open-ended questions. We discuss how LIWC's measures of psychological constructs were developed and validated in psycholinguistic research. We then use data from an audit JDM study to illustrate the use of LIWC to guide researchers in identifying suitable measures, performing quality control procedures, and reporting the analysis. We also discuss research design considerations that will strengthen the inferences drawn from LIWC analysis. The paper concludes with examples where LIWC analysis has the potential to reveal participants' deep, complex, effortful psychological processing and affective states from their written responses.
An Expanded Genome-Wide Association Study of Fructosamine Levels Identifies RCN3 as a Replicating Locus and Implicates FCGRT as the Effector Transcript

Published: November 2021

Fructosamine is a measure of short-term glycemic control, which has been suggested as a useful complement to glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) for the diagnosis and monitoring of diabetes. To date, a single genome-wide association study (GWAS) including 8,951 U.S. White and 2,712 U.S. Black individuals without a diabetes diagnosis has been published. Results in Whites and Blacks yielded different association loci, near RCN3 and CNTN5, respectively. In this study, we performed a GWAS on 20,731 European-ancestry blood donors and meta-analyzed our results with previous data from U.S. White participants from the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study (Nmeta = 29,685). We identified a novel association near GCK (rs3757840, βmeta = 0.0062; minor allele frequency [MAF] = 0.49; Pmeta = 3.66 × 10−8) and confirmed the association near RCN3 (rs113886122, βmeta = 0.0134; MAF = 0.17; Pmeta = 5.71 × 10−18). Colocalization analysis with whole-blood expression quantitative trait loci data suggested FCGRT as the effector transcript at the RCN3 locus. We further showed that fructosamine has low heritability (h2 = 7.7%), has no significant genetic correlation with HbA1c and other glycemic traits in individuals without a diabetes diagnosis (P > 0.05), but has evidence of shared genetic etiology with some anthropometric traits (Bonferroni-corrected P < 0.0012). Our results broaden knowledge of the genetic architecture of fructosamine and prioritize FCGRT for downstream functional studies at the established RCN3 locus.
Investigating spatial skills and math anxiety as mediators in a sequential mediation model: A pilot study

Published: November 2021

Prior research showed a gender effect on spatial ability, math anxiety, and math achievement. Lacking, however, is a comprehensive study that testedthe mediation effects of spatial ability and math anxiety between gender and math achievement in a sequential mediation model. To fill this gap, this pilot study tested two mediation relationships, one with spatial ability as a mediator, gender as a predictor, and math anxiety as an outcome variable; the other with math anxiety as a mediator, spatial ability as a predictor, and math achievement as an outcome variable. In addition, the study tested the relative strengths of the relationship between specific spatial skills that included perspective-taking, spatial imagery, and mental rotation and collegiate math achievement that included trigonometry, calculus, and linear algebra) via canonical correlations. Lastly, gender differences in spatial skills, math anxiety, and math achievement were investigated. The results of the independent t-tests showed that none of the well-documented gender differences in spatial ability was found. Canonical correlation analysis showed that a single canonical variable is sufficient in accounting for math-spatial relationship. The sequential mediation model, with spatial ability and math achievement serving as themediators in the model, fitted reasonably well. However, none of the mediation effects was statistically significant. Implications of these findings and future directions of this research are discussed

The article presents the authors reflections on Michael Lind’s book “The New Class War: Saving Democracy from the Managerial Elite” that tries to explain the on-going process of the rise of populism and the decline of liberalism in the West. Reflecting upon the theme and theses of the book, the author of the article analyzes the phenomenon of the managerial elite formation as a new type of the ruling class that is estranges from the social environment and value settings of the majority of population in the Western countries, and this new class sets the current economic and political agenda. Going further than the author of the book, Patrick Deneen calls for the radical replacement of the current elite libertarian ethos for popular conservatism targeted at general material and social capital, family and local communities support

Then, for the arrangement of the library space is still classified as not paying attention to psychological, functional and aesthetic aspects. Another thing is also seen from the physical condition of the library which is still said to be inadequate, this can be seen from the less bright lighting and the dark and hot air circulation. Meanwhile, the non-physical condition is still incomplete, seen from the lack of furniture and equipment available in the library.
