The findings of this research are deemed valuable for enhancing university training programs, better equipping young professionals to excel in the competitive and ever-evolving BANI-environment. The article contributes to a deeper understanding of the pivotal role soft skills play in shaping successful career trajectories for emerging specialists.
Innovative Approaches to Assessment in Pedagogical Practice:
Authors: Botuzova Yuliia , Iievliev Oleksandr , Okipniak Iryna , Yandola Krystyna , Charkina Tetiana
Published: September 2023

The academic paper considers and substantiates pedagogical assessment by applying modern technologies as a special type of interaction between the subjects of the educational process aimed at measuring the significant characteristics of a student’s activity in the course of solving tasks and problem situations, processing and analyzing the received educational information and final assessment. The model of pedagogical assessment based on using modern technologies is focused on solving the problems of objectifying the measurement process, expanding the information base of assessment, creating conditions for the formation of learning activities, including assessment activities, integrating monitoring and teaching functions, individualizing pedagogical assessment at the level of individual learning activities. The model is designed on the principles of integration of the subject-object side of assessment; optimization of criterion depth; temporal perspective; binarity; psychological safety; unity of assessment and learning activities and individualization in relation to the student. It includes the basic modules: criterion-based assessment, managing the transmission of pedagogical assessment (with a two-component information component – object-subject and subject-subject), and a module for processing the primary results of measuring students’ learning activities and visualizing its results. Organizational and pedagogical conditions for implementing the model are as follows: functional completeness of information and software support; teachers’ readiness to use pedagogical assessment by applying computer tools; adjustment of regulatory documents, local acts of the educational institution and protocols of service interaction, which create an opportunity to use assessment systems; creation of a motivation system that stimulates the promotion of personality-oriented education in the teaching team.

Authors: Tjahjono Martin , Stevani Isabella , Siswanto Gracheilla A , Adhitya Arief , Halim Iskandar
Published: September 2023

Ammonia, owing to its carbon-free attributes, stands as a promising alternative for replacing fossil-based fuels. This study investigates the techno-economic and environmental aspects of gray, blue, and green ammonia production in Indonesia. In this regard, a spreadsheet-based decision support system has been developed to analyze the levelized cost of each mode of ammonia production and their cost sensitivity across various parameters. The results of the analysis show a levelized cost of gray ammonia of $297 (USD) per ton, which is strongly affected by natural gas prices and carbon taxation. Blue ammonia emerges as the most stable production option with a levelized cost of $390 per ton, impacted by natural gas prices and the expenses associated with carbon sequestration. On the other hand, the levelized cost of green ammonia varies between $696 to $1,024 per ton and is predominantly influenced by the choice of electrolyzers, the cost of renewable energy sources, and maintenance and operational expenditures. Furthermore, the study reveals that gray and blue ammonia production result in emissions of 2.73 and 0.28 tons of CO2 equivalent per ton of ammonia, respectively, while in-situ carbon emissions from green ammonia can be considered negligible. Overall, this study underscores the potential of implementing green ammonia production utilizing geothermal or hydropower renewable energy resources as viable solutions for decarbonizing the power, industry, and transport sectors in Indonesia. Several policy recommendations aimed at overcoming existing barriers to the development of green ammonia plants in the country are also provided.
The Mandatory and Default Regulation in Hungarian Company Law – A Decade of Experience
Authors: Auer Ádám , Papp Tekla
Published: September 2023

314The option to deviate from a legal provision has been problematic for company law. The theoretical background of legislation is rooted in the interpretative models of company law: the investor model favouring the interests of its members (shareholder theory) and a contractual model which takes into account the stakeholders in the business relationship with the company (stakeholder theory). This article reflects on the development of the regulation’s nature of Hungarian company law; the legislator implemented a fundamental change in the central element to the governance of company law in 2013. After the modification of central regulation concept of Hungarian company law, the role of the judiciary shifted to the classification of the different default-mandatory rules. This article investigates the development of the new company law regulations concept, and the related judicial practice, and also approaches the topic from the view of interests (of creditors, employees and members), striving to create a coherent dogmatic system.
Decent Work in the Cross-Border Supply Chain: A Smart Mix of Legislation and Self-Regulation
Authors: Laagland Femke G.
Published: September 2023

336This paper deals with the problem of European companies trading with companies in developing countries where fundamental labour rights are being violated. For a long time, this issue was left to the responsibility of European companies on a voluntary basis. Recently, a shift towards hard law in the sense of legal obligations has become visible. The European Commission started a legislative process in 2021 and published a proposal for a due diligence Directive in February 2022 to which the European Parliament responded in first reading on 1 June 2023. In the meanwhile, France and Germany passed legislation, and in the Netherlands and Belgium a private member’s bill was submitted by members of Parliament. All in all, a lot is happening on this subject at both European and national level. Much has been written about the proposals as such but the issue of fundamental labour rights has been underexposed. This paper fills that gap. Central question is as to what extent legislation will lead to an improvement in compliance with fundamental labour rights in the cross-border supply chain. This paper will explore this question on the basis of the said European and national legislative initiatives. It will become clear that the solution lies much more in a mix of hard law and self-regulation and that in the search for a smart mix, lessons can be learned from the Dutch system of private sector-specific agreements.337
Shareholder Proposals and Sustainability: An Empirically-Based Critical Reflection
Authors: Bakker Michael H.C.
Published: September 2023

Publicly traded companies face growing scrutiny in respect of their sustainability strategies and policies from regulators, the general public, NGOs, as well as investors. One area where the attention for corporate sustainability issues has materialised is at the general meetings of these companies, including in the form of a growing number of shareholder proposals on environmental and social topics. Against the background of this development, I have investigated sustainability-related shareholder proposals in 25 countries. More specifically, this paper presents the results of a survey of shareholder proposals on environmental and social topics that have been put to a vote in the period between 2020 and 2022, with the aim of exploring what sustainability issues are addressed through shareholder proposals, who submit E&S-related shareholder proposals, and which sectors are subjected to such proposals. During this three-year period, nearly one-third of the 1995 shareholder proposal that have been identified directly related to environmental and social issues. The investigation reveals that the majority of such proposals have been submitted by individuals, organisations with primarily social objectives, and SRI asset managers and investment advisors. But in light of increasing attention, both in society and in investor circles, for what institutional investors are doing to support and promote sustainability strategies and policies of publicly traded companies, in particular when it comes to climate change, it may be the case that (some of) these investors will increasingly exercise agenda-setting rights in connection with corporate sustainability issues.

Feasibility studies and their effects on the success or failure of investment projects. “Najaf governorate as a model”
Authors: Alhamami Bashar Rasheed M. , Nassar Yasser Sahib , Qendeel Laith Mashkoor Rasheed
Published: September 2023

A feasibility study is considered a strategic tool, a critical principle, and an essential stage of the success of the investment project, and it is regarded as an essential point in the success or failure of the investment project. Therefore, feasibility studies are among the most critical elements of the success of investment projects. The purpose of this study is to find out the reality of the feasibility study in the various departments of the state and its impact on the success or failure of investment projects, in addition to studying, identifying, and analyzing the factors that affect the feasibility study in investment projects. In this research, 23 influential factors were collected from site surveys, interviews with engineers and experts, and previous research in the Arab world. These factors are grouped into five categories: political and legal aspects, economic and financial, consultancy, owner, and contractor. A questionnaire survey of 70 respondents was distributed among different experts. A statistical analysis was done using SPSS and Excel packages. The results accomplished from the survey revealed the significant factors that affect the feasibility study (ranked respectively), namely, the absence of a clear investment policy (86%), the existence of obstacles (85.71%), slow and complicated routine procedures (84%), lack of experience and field knowledge (82.29%), and failure to accurately meet the scientific (79.71%) These findings could help the construction professionals to improve the feasibility study and project performance in Iraq.

Authors: Singh Manjit , Sarangal Himali , Singh Butta , Kaur Harmandar , Kour Satveer
Published: September 2023

This paper studies the detrimental effect of polarization mode dispersion on long-haul optical fiber communication in terms of the quality factor and bit error rate. The dispersion value is varied for different fiber lengths, specifically for long-haul communication, and the results obtained are analyzed in terms of the quality factor. The polarization mode dispersion causes pulse broadening, leading to interchannel interference. There is a need to check the occurrence and the associated effects of this dispersion. The communication range for conducting the analysis varies from 150 km to 350 km. The analysis is first conducted on varied communication fiber link length for different dispersion values, and it is observed that a fiber length of 200 km gives comparatively favorable results, as seen from the BER analysis.
Reinventing the Division of Labour? How Organisational and Micro-Level Factors Influence Work in Local Public Welfare Organisations
Authors: Castillo Daniel
Published: September 2023

Many professions in the public sector, such as healthcare staff, social welfare officers and teachers are experiencing a heavier workload and an increasing number of work tasks of growing complexity. This study examines the policy tendency to introduce a stricter division of labour, by delegating lower status tasks professionals preform to assistants, as a key to reduce public sector workload. In contrast, the public sector has been subject to organisational reforms the past 20–30 years resulting in a reduced division of labour among professions. This article explores the reversibility of the division of labour within a local public sector context, and it demonstrates how different micro-level factors may promote or counteract changes in the division of labour at the workplace. A main contribution is the prospect to rethink the capacity of organisational work-related reforms in professional settings directed at processes of division of labour in local public organisations.
Meaning-making and collaboration: teacher scaffolds within a translanguaging pedagogy
Authors: Cui Yuxin , Pacheco Mark B.
Published: September 2023

This study examined the forms and functions of collaborative scaffolds used by a monolingual teacher within a translanguaging pedagogy, which we frame as instruction that invites students to draw from their entire linguistic repertoires in ways that honor and sustain their multilingualism. More specifically, it investigates how a 9th-grade teacher of multilingual students fostered collaboration within a literacy activity that leverages strategic translation of grade-level texts. Data sources include ten consecutive video-recorded class periods involving strategic collaborative translation, interviews with the teacher, instructional materials, and translation artifacts. Findings show three major themes that capture teacher approaches to foster learners’ meaning-making. First, the teacher fostered collaboration to support meaning-makingwithinthe text by suggesting resources, guiding the collaborative steps, and praising to help students’ meaningful engagement with the text. Second, the teacher fostered collaborationaroundthe text by setting collaborative ground rules and promoting joint construction of meaning to support students’ learning. Lastly, the teacher offered new teacher-student roles to support collaboration, which included affirming aspects of students’ identities during translation. This study offers specific ways that teachers might foster meaningful engagement with texts when they have limited experience with languages other than English, and similarly, emerging proficiencies in engaging in translanguaging pedagogies.
Society Bites: Phenomenological Aesthetics of the Ordinary and the Ordinary Cannibal
Authors: Molina Garcia Erika Natalia
Published: September 2023

Drawing on phenomenological aesthetics and on the haptic aesthetics of eating as a form of everyday aesthetics, I examine the phenomenon of eating our own as meaningful in three dimensions: vital/natural, somatic/individual, and cross-cultural. Usually conceived as a concrete, rare, and foreign practice, I show how cannibalism is present in our daily lives, both symbolically and as a liminal possibility towards which – as Freud noticed in 1913 – we all tended as children. Cannibalism is present not only in cinematic, literary, or visual art, and in anthropological research that situates it far from “us,” but through narratives and carnal dispositifs of differentiation/assimilation of the Same and the Other, fundamental for our subjective constitution. I conclude with a reflection on how the classical aesthetics of the sovereign subject develops towards alternative models like Pelluchon’sgourmet egothat re-establish the connexion and moral engagement lost by solipsism by means of alimentary metaphors, but also romanticizing them, failing to address the problem of voracity and overconsumption, both at a social and at an individual level. This is more suitably addressed by Viveiros de Castro’s idea of a cannibal cogito, but even better understood by Emmanuel Levinas’ enjoyment-contact model of subjectivity.
“Write oneself into being”– Ha as an interpersonal pragmatic marker on WeChat
Authors: Bi Xiaoyi , Marsden Elizabeth
Published: September 2023

The pragmatic marker ha 哈 in Mandarin, has little meaning in itself; while some studies have looked into its usage in spoken discourse, we seek to address its usage and unpack its specific interpersonal pragmatic function in online, private, dyadic discourse, itself an underexplored area, and a setting in which participants are free from public scrutiny, unlike on mass social media. The results demonstrate that it can be attached to clauses and sentences to show the affect of the writer, from indicating a jocular and playful tone to softening a request. Therefore, ha is used as a way to express different types of rapport orientations and positive self-presentation. By drawing on personal WeChat messages, this paper bridges the gap by focusing on ha in technologically-mediated conversation. The expanding usage of ha also suggests a wish to create linguistic forms which can act as substitutes for non-verbal communication features.
Vertikale Kooperation im Völkerstrafrecht. Ein Modus der Strukturbildung in der Weltgesellschaft
Authors: de Vries Henning
Published: September 2023

Mit dem Internationalen Strafgerichtshof (IStGH) und dem im Römischen Statut kodifizierten Völkerstrafrecht ist die individuelle Strafbarkeit außerhalb nationaler Rechtsordnungen etabliert. Diese Entwicklung verändert das Verhältnis von Staaten, internationalen Organisationen sowie Gerichten und Individuen in einer globalen Rechtsordnung. Der Beitrag geht der Frage nach, wie sich die Struktur des Völkerstrafrechts entwickelt hat. Die Vermutung ist, dass die Strukturbildung des Völkerstrafrechts in einem vertikalen Modus der Kooperation verläuft, der die horizontale Kooperation der Staaten und die vertikale Kooperation mit dem IStGH kombiniert. Indem die strukturellen Voraussetzungen zum Thema werden, kann eine eigenständige rechtssoziologische Perspektive entwickelt werden, die disziplinäre Ansätze aus den Politikwissenschaften und der Rechtswissenschaft aufgreift und weitergehende Fragestellungen ermöglicht. Dies wird mit einer qualitativen Analyse der Präambel des Römischen Statuts vorgeführt und anhand der Ergebnisse diskutiert.
La «coberta volta» de Bernat de Rocafort: en torno al uso del monólogo interior de tipo deliberativo en laCrònicade Muntaner
Authors: Aguilar Ávila Josep Antoni
Published: September 2023

This article focuses on the use of the deliberative interior monologue in Ramon Muntaner’sCrònicaand is based mainly on an analysis of Chapter 230 of the work. In this chapter, Muntaner employs this narrative technique in order to convey the thoughts of Bernat de Rocafort, one of the key characters in his account of the Catalan expedition to Byzantium (1303–1311). Other examples of similar monologues in theCrònica, attributed to characters such as King Charles of Anjou (Chapter 72) or Roger de Flor (Chapter 199), are also taken into account. In all these cases, the article provides an examination of the narrative context, the main rhetorical and literary characteristics of the monologue, and its role in the psychological characterization of the character. The analysis reveals a common compositional pattern in the fragments studied, as well as the fact that the deliberative monologue is chiefly employed by Muntaner to describe the plans or schemes of characters who are described as wise or astute in the narrative.
El doblete correcto/correcho y sus derivados en la diacronía del español
Authors: Montero Curiel Pilar
Published: September 2023

Alongside the evolutionary phenomena that arose in the transition from Latin to Romance, there were educated reactions that rescued the original voices to accommodate them, with minor adjustments, to the systems of the Romance languages, at the same time as the patrimonial words, evolved from the same etymons, managed to stay in the spoken register and from there passed to the linguistic system. Such processes gave rise to the development of doublets in the language, pairs of duplicates that, from a common etymological base, gave different results, such as the one formed by the correcto/correcho pair, whose history and geographical distribution (with the exclusive presence of the patrimonial result correcho in the provinces of León and Asturias) itself illustrates phonological processes that, on occasion, go beyond the territorial boundaries established by historical grammars. The derivative adjective escorrecho is related to these words, which enjoyed remarkable vitality in the 13th century and began to decline later until it fell into oblivion, since the Dictionary of Authorities (1929) already defines it as an outdated term whose appearance in lexicographical works does not exceed the margins of the first half of the 19th century. The processes that led to these evolutions will be explained in the present study with the support of databases on Spanish and the main tools of our lexicographical tradition.
El español del qahal qadoš de Pisa (siglo XVII). Aspectos gráficos e implicaciones fónicas
Authors: Rodríguez Toro José Javier
Published: September 2023

This paper focuses on the analysis of unpublished documents from volume number 0457 of the Archivio Storico della Comunità Ebrea of Pisa (Italy), the oldest atti civili mammotrect preserved (1660‒1691). In the first critical approach to this corpus, Ariza (2015) studied the letters and their possible phonetic implications, but his work considered the linguistic features of the Pisa book in overall terms. This contribution focuses on the study of the letters from the comparison of different documents, once their 16 authors have been identified. The study is structured in five sections corresponding to the most frequent phenomena, namely, vacillation of unstressed vowels, especially between e / i; the loss of /h/ < Lat. f-, reflected in the lack of the letter h; the merger of voiced bilabials as proof of the use of b for v; and the confusion between /s/ and /θ/ [i.e. seseo]; finally, the merger of /r/ and /ɲ/, two innovations in Judeo-Spanish (Penny 2000). The main goal is to explain to what extent the preserved texts reflect the phonetic variation of the Hebrew community of Pisa in the second half of the 17th century.
Formation of Bentonite Filter Cake over Crystalline Metamorphic Rocks by Means of a Pressure Chamber: A Laboratory Study
Authors: Bulathsinhala Ayodya Udara Veediya Bandara , Puswewala Udeni Gnanapriya Anuruddha
Published: September 2023

Bentonite is used as the drilling fluid for most of the cast-in-situ bored (CIB) pile constructions. It has been found that bentonite slurry significantly reduces the shaft resistance capacity because of the formation of filter cake in piles driven into sedimentary bed rocks. This effect is incorporated into pile designs by increasing safety factors. Even though crystalline metamorphic rocks do not support the formation of bentonite filter cake to the same extent as sedimentary rocks, conservative pile designs are being used mainly because of a lack of reliable experimental data. Some studies carried out in Sri Lanka on piles driven into metamorphic rocks indicate that the bentonite filter cake formations have a relatively insignificant effect on the shaft resistance capacity. This paper presents the results of experiments carried out on the formation of bentonite filter cake over several types of metamorphic rocks using a specifically built pressure chamber. The results indicate that bentonite filter cake formed over unfractured metamorphic rock is much less than those formed on sedimentary rocks and that the weathering grade of the rock has an influence on the thickness of the filter cake. These findings could lead to design practices that could avoid unnecessary conservatism in pile design.

Authors: Buzinov Roman V. , Fedorov Vladimir N. , Kovshov Aleksandr A. , Novikova Yuliya A. , Tikhonova Nadezhda A. , Petrov Maxim S. , Krutskaya Ksenia V.
Published: September 2023

Objective — To substantiate the choice of optimal tools for clustering spatially referenced data on disease incidence for GIS-based analysis of their spatial distribution. Material and Methods — We used primary data on the incidence of malignant neoplasms, chronic alcoholism, and asthma in the population of eight administrative areas in Arkhangelsk Oblast as a constituent entity of the Arctic Zone of the Russian Federation. Disease incidence was averaged over a 5-year period from 2016 to 2020. We assessed the methods for visualizing the distribution of spatially referenced indicators using the ArcMap geoinformation system tools. Results — The study yielded differences in the outcomes of automated clustering of spatially referenced data in ArcMap, depending on the normality of the distribution in individual samples and the spread of indicator values, which was visually reflected on the resulting map. The parameter values in the samples directly affected the features of data clustering. Hence, this issue is important to consider for ensuring the correct choice of the appropriate analytical tool. Conclusion — Our study demonstrated that when using tools for automated clustering of spatially referenced incidence data in terms of their visualization in ArcGIS, it is necessary to consider the factors that directly affect the accuracy of their presentation. We consider it most appropriate to use a clustering tool based on the geometric interval method.

Authors: Syzdykova Madina , Morenko Marina , Gatauova Madina , Zhumambayeva Saule , Shnaider Kseniya
Published: September 2023

Background — Advances in neonatal intensive care have resulted in high survival rates for infants born with extremely low birth weight. Accordingly, the treatment and rehabilitation of premature neonates with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is indisputably an urgent problem. Objective — To evaluate the efficacy of vibroacoustic therapy in patients with BPD in the complex of therapeutic measures. Material and Methods — The study was a prospective, non-randomized open-label controlled clinical trial conducted in 2018-2020 in Astana, Kazakhstan. It included 69 children with BPD hospitalized with a concomitant diagnosis of pneumonia between the ages of 1 and 2 years. The study subjects were distributed among two groups: Group 1 (the main group, n=37) receiving vibroacoustic therapy with the VibroLung apparatus in combination with the main treatment and Group 2 (the control, n=32) receiving solely the main treatment. Results — The inclusion of the vibroacoustic method of treatment in the combination therapy of pneumonia in children with BPD resulted in early leveling of the following clinical symptoms: a reduction in the duration of the high fever by 1.18 days vs. the control group (p<0.05), relief of respiratory failure 1.4 days earlier vs. the control group (p<0.05) and a decrease in the duration of inpatient treatment by 2.9 days, compared with the control group (p<0.05). All of these implied the efficacy of this treatment method. Conclusion — Our results demonstrated that vibroacoustic therapy was a relevant addition to the treatment of pneumonia in children with BPD.

Authors: Romanova Tatyana E. , Abaeva Olga P. , Romanov Sergey V.
Published: September 2023

Objective: to study the attitude of doctors and patients of the central district hospital to the use of digital medicine technologies. Material and methods. The study was conducted by a questionnaire survey. 43 doctors and 213 patients of the central district hospital were asked to assess the possibilities of digital tools in solving health problems, the degree of use of Internet platforms in the process of doctor-patient interaction, the level of influence of the Internet on patients' adherence to doctor's recommendations. Results. Only 14.0% of doctors and 5.2% of patients believe that digital technologies can help solve the problem of staff shortage. Currently, 65.1 % of doctors and 23.9% of patients use digital technologies in communication in the doctor-patient system. 55.8% of doctors stated the desire of patients to get information about treatment in Internet sources, but 97.7% of patients trust doctors more than recommendations on the Internet. Among the possible ways of using digital technologies in medicine, patients see the design of referrals (61.0%), prescriptions (50.2%), temporary disability sheets, certificates (29.6%). Conclusions. Most representatives of both the medical community and patients do not see digital technologies as a way to radically solve the problems of personnel shortage in rural areas: only 32.6% of doctors and 19.7% of patients consider it possible to increase the availability of medical care through telemedicine, only 23% of patients considered remote consultations to be in demand. First of all, the prospects of digitalization of healthcare, according to patients, are associated with the optimization of the issuance of documents in the provision of medical care.
The other, the child, and the trinitarity: towards a new theological justification for heterosexuality
Authors: Kosmarski Artyom
Published: September 2023

This paper, written in the context of a public debate on LGBT issues, seeks a novel theological explanation for the uniqueness of the relationship between a man and a woman in the flesh, and an answer to the question of why heterosexual relations are considered in the Gospel and Christian tradition to be the way to God. The author argues that the value of heterosexual relations, which nowadays is no longer considered self-evident, requires a new justification – which the paper attempts to give, drawing on the intellectual resources of modern theology (Orthodox, Catholic, and Protestant) and twentieth-century philosophy. The article begins with an analysis of I Rom. 1:19-27, describing Paul’s position on the subject. Then the author interprets love between a man and a woman as a fundamental experience of communion with the Other, an experience necessary, among other things, for a relationship with God and life in heaven. Next we will consider the profound connection of heterosexual relationships with the conception, as an act of God phenomenon (unpredictable and miraculous) and personal trust in God, and the experience of trinitarian relationships, in the father-mother-child triangle, with the knowledge of the Trinitarian God. The ideas and arguments developed in this article are not based on notions of "normalcy-abnormality," "naturalness-non-naturalness" of one behavior or another, but on principles of path and choice. We argue that our approach may be useful for the church, from a catechetical and missionary perspective, helping to develop a language in which to talk about sexuality and live in the contemporary world.
Present value of firm in case of correlated defaults
Authors: Valužis Mantas
Published: September 2023

In this article, the valuation of firm’s present value in case of correlated defaults is studied. We showed that the valuation of portfolio credit risk can be interpreted as a valuation of the multiple contingent option. In this article, some results for valuation of multiple contingent options are generalized in case of stochastic barriers and the financial interpretation is given. Also, the modelling of other financial risks, notably, the market risk (the change of debt value) and the operational risk (the adequacy of selected credibility criteria) are included in these theorems. Using the principle of conservatism in credit risk assessment, the debtor credibility, the debt value and the firm value are assumed to follow geometric Wiener process.

Translocation and transcription factor E3 (TFE3)-rearranged renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a rare subtype of RCCs characterised by the fusion of the TFE3 transcription factor genes on chromosome Xp11.2 with one of the multiple genes. TFE3-rearranged RCC occurs mainly in children and adolescents, although middle-aged cases are also observed. As computed tomography (CT)/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of TFE3-rearranged RCC overlap with those of other RCCs, differential diagnosis is often challenging. In the present case reports, we highlighted the features of the fluorine-18-labelled fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography with CT (FDG PET-CT) in TFE3-rearranged RCCs. Due to the rarity of the disease, FDG PET-CT features of TFE3-rearranged RCC have not yet been reported. In our cases, FDG PET-CT showed high standardised uptake values (SUVmax) of 7.14 and 6.25 for primary tumours. This might imply that TFE3-rearranged RCC has high malignant potential. This is conceivable when the molecular background of the disease is considered in terms of glucose metabolism. Our cases suggest that a high SUVmax of the primary tumour is a clinical characteristic of TFE3-rearranged RCCs.
Content of Phenol Carboxylic Acids in the Water among Higher Aquatic Plants of Various Ecological Groups
Authors: Usenko O. M. , Konovets I. M.
Published: September 2023

The composition and content of phenol carboxylic acids was studied in water bodies among higher aquatic plants of various ecological groups: emergent (Typha angustifolia L., Scirpus lacustris L., and Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steud.), submerged (Ceratophyllum demersum L. and Myriophyllum spicatum L.), and with floating leaves (Trapa natans L. and Nuphar lutea L.). The following acids were found in the water among higher aquatic plants: benzoic, lilac, vanillic, gallic, n-oxybenzoic, protocatechuic, α-resorcylic, β-resorcylic, salicylic, ferulic, caffeic, cinnamic, coumaric, and sinapic. Their total concentration in the water among the specimens of T. angustifolia accounted for 114.7 μg/L, Sc. lacustris - 24.71 μg/L, T. natans - 56.14 μg/L, N. lutea -19.3 μg/L, C. demersum -25.42-38.66 μg/L, and M. spicatum - 1.42-2.83 μg/L. The analysis of the content of phenol carboxylic acids in the water among the specimens of Ph. australis during the spring-autumn period revealed significant differences both in the ratio of individual acids and in their distribution by groups. The maximal concentration of benzoic and salicylic acids in the water was registered at the beginning of Ph. australis development, whereas the maximal content of vanillic and gallic acids - during plant active vegetation. The lowest content of cinnamic and ferulic acids was recorded at the beginning of vegetation season. Cluster analysis of the content of phenol carboxylic acids in the water among the specimens of C. demersum and M. spicatum at two sampling stations (Sobache Gyrlo Bay and Verblyud Bay in the Kaniv Reservoir) made it possible to reveal two groups of the studied substances. The first group included benzoic and gallic acids and the second group - other acids. The use of the principal component analysis (PCA) made it possible to establish a significant correlation between the composition and content of phenol carboxylic acids in the water among higher aquatic plants and dominant plant species. This fact is indicative of the leading role of higher aquatic plants in the formation of the pool of these substances in the water.
LIKELIHOOD AND DEPTH-BASED CRITERIA FOR COMPARING SIMULATION RESULTS WITH EXPERIMENTAL DATA, IN SUPPORT OF VALIDATION OF NUMERICAL SIMULATORS
Authors: Marrel Amandine , Velardo H. , Bouloré A.
Published: September 2023

Within the framework of best-estimate-plus-uncertainty approaches, the assessment of model parameter uncertainties,
associated with numerical simulators, is a key element in safety analysis. The results (or outputs) of the simulation
must be compared and validated against experimental values, when such data are available. This validation step, as
part of the broader verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification process, is required to ensure a reliable use of the simulator for modeling and prediction. This work aims to define quantitative criteria to support this validation
for multivariate outputs, while taking into account modeling uncertainties (uncertain input parameters) and experimental
uncertainties (measurement uncertainties). For this purpose, different statistical indicators, based on likelihood
or statistical depths, are investigated and extended to the multidimensional case. First, the properties of the criteria are
studied, either analytically or by simulation, for some specific cases (Gaussian distribution for experimental uncertainties, identical distributions of experiments and simulations, particular discrepancies). Then, some natural extensions to multivariate outputs are proposed, with guidelines for practical use depending on the objectives of the validation (strict/hard or average validation). From this, transformed criteria are proposed to make them more comparable and
less sensitive to the dimension of the output. It is shown that these transformations allow for a fairer and more relevant comparison and interpretation of the different criteria. Finally, these criteria are applied to a code dedicated to nuclear material behavior simulation. The need to reduce the uncertainty of the model parameters is thus highlighted, as well as the outputs on which to focus.
A risk-based decision making framework to analyze the properties of cobalt–chromium alloys
Authors: Singer Hilal , Özçelik Tijen Över
Published: September 2023

In this study, the properties of cobalt–chromium alloys are systematically prioritized to aid in the minimization of orthopedic implant failures and risks in biomedical applications. Within the model, six main groups (including a total of 31 properties) are defined: economic aspects, design and production properties, mechanical properties, physical properties, chemical properties and biological properties. A risk-based fuzzy decision making framework is proposed for prioritization. First, a risk-management decision matrix is created by employing interval type-2 fuzzy failure modes and effects analysis. Afterward, the properties of cobalt–chromium alloys are analyzed by utilizing interval type-2 fuzzy measurement of alternatives and ranking according to compromise solution. In the last phase, a prediction model is devised with an adaptive network fuzzy inference system to save computational time and effort and to enable the incorporation of new scientific results into the biomaterial evaluation process. The results of the current study demonstrate that compatibility, osseointegration, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance and time-dependent deformation are the top five properties contributing to potential orthopedic implant failures and risks. Furthermore, the developed model produces very satisfactory results with acceptable deviations. Consequently, this study presents a new and reliable guide for the unbiased evaluation of cobalt–chromium alloys.
