Restructuring policies in government agencies continue to be carried out in accordance with directives issued by the Ministry of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform, including restructuring Echelon positions at the Ministry of Religion, given the absence of related literature in the Ministry of Religion. It is necessary to do research on comparisons in the situation before simplification and further estimates, in this study the focus of the discussion is on the number of allowances for Echelon Unit I in the central office. The method used in this research is a literature study, with reliable data sources and analysis in the form of a comparative study which can later be used as the basis for implementing restructuring in general, especially in national budget planning at the Ministry of Religion. The results showed that there were several changes in income due to downsizing, including a decrease in the performance allowance received by Echelon III officials who were transferred to Associate Experts (Ahli Madya), while the difference in allowances between positions was not significant for Echelon IV officials who are transferred to the functional positions of Associate Expert (Ahli Madya) and Junior Expert. (Ahli Muda) increase in take home pay in terms of position allowance income. The subject of further discussion with this change is how it affects the performance of officials and their effectiveness in the bureaucracy.

The need for constant monitoring of existing practices to improve the efficiency of the agricultural sector and identify important guidelines for further development of this area.Using modern experience of EU countries to increase the efficiency of the national agricultural sector.Practical and theoretical issues of development of the agricultural sector and the use of existing practical experience in this field were considered by O. Borodin, O. Bublienko, V. Granovska, N. Karaseva, I. Klymenko, R. Kosodiy, M. Skoryk and others.Active development of economic processes in the agricultural sector requires current research on the existing practical experience of developed countries.Analysis of practical experience in ensuring the effective functioning of the agricultural sector of the EU.An effective direction of the transition to sustainable development of rural areas is organic production (regulatory principles are reflected in the Common Agricultural Policy of the EU). The institutional norms of the CAP EU act as a guarantor of positive transformations and a "substitute" for the interests of producers in conditions of market competition. In practice, the Council and the EU Commission are responsible for implementing the common policy. European policy for the development of the agricultural sector is funded by the European Agrarian Fund for Rural Development. EU countries use various mechanisms (subsidies, grants, state loan guarantees, etc.) for the development of the agricultural sector. The best results in the direction of sustainable development of the agricultural sector were achieved by countries that took radical steps quickly, decisively, comprehensively. The experience of the EU countries shows that it is also justified to limit government intervention in this sector, or to implement it through market-type mechanisms

Published: October 2021

Perhaps the most important task of our country is to preserve and increase natural resources, and as an integral part of this process -the correct and rational use of the topsoil. The more rational and responsible we will be in the use of land, the more productive and profitable our contribution and material costs will be.Unfortunately, at present, our farms are experiencing considerable chaos regarding the use of land that is in their use. Veryoften there are situations when fields that are depleted by prolonged planting of one crop, or vice versa, a field that should be ploughed and give a rich crop, grows shrubs and it used as pasture for cattle, namely, is not used for its intended purpose.Somedaring and unscrupulous agricultural societies, on the other hand, use hayfields or pastures as arable land, but seeing only economic benefits, regardless of the condition of the soil layer of the earth’s surface, and not developing a proper soil improvement program. Therefore, at the legislative level, our state must force agricultural enterprises to approach the use of certain lands, always taking into account the possible state of use of these lands for at least the next 7 years.The obligation to be responsible for the use of Ukraine’s most important wealth -land, should be the development of "land management projects that provide environmental and economic justification of crop rotation and land management", monitoring compliance with the terms of this project, as well as the order of soil surveys, at least once every five years. With the implementation of all agro-technical and agrochemical measures, agricultural enterprises and other owners and users of land, we can get higher yields of crops.

In this article based on the processing of statistical data from various electronic resources the most frequent types of threats to information security (UBI) for medical information systems (MIS) are identified and their classification is carried out. The issues of determining the actual UBI when creating MIS that process personal data using a specific technology of expert assessment are considered. The proposed methodology for determining actual threats to information security for MIS, in comparison with those used, eliminates subjective assessments that are a characteristic feature of traditional expert assessments. Its use also makes it possible to assess the relevance of information security threats for MIS that do not have qualified specialists in the field of information security in the staff of a medical institution, which is relevant for a large number of medical institutions. The authors investigate the practical possibilities of using the theory of fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic in determining the actual UBI for MIS for various purposes.
Aproximação, interdependência e inter-relação:
Authors: Leite Bruno Celso Sabino
Published: October 2021

Neste trabalho, propus-me a explicitar sob a forma de esboço algumas possibilidades de se definir a moralidade sobre um ponto de vista sociológico. Para tanto, utilizei conceitos de três autores que suponho poderem ser associados a uma possível conceituação de moralidade. Os conceitos são: aproximação, interdependência e inter-relação. Seus respectivos autores são Bauman (1998), Norbert Elias e Hannah Arendt (1999; 2010 (A); 2010 (B)). Um dos supostos do trabalho não é apenas que uma definição mínima de moralidade pode ser traçada a partir desses conceitos, mas também que a moralidade pode ser pensada em termos de delimitações e diferenciações entre atos morais e imorais sem que, com isso, tenha-se que recorrer a definições filosóficas ou particularistas (relativistas). Pressupus ainda, que algumas relações de afinidades possam ser traçadas entre os conceitos de aproximação, interdependência e inter-relação no intuito da possível definição sociológica da moralidade. Logicamente que se trata de uma problemática apontada, mas infelizmente algo a ser desenvolvido em outro momento.
A respeito de sagrado. Sagrado como aparência:
Authors: Fogel Gilvan
Published: October 2021

O sagrado como o acontecimento ser-aparecer ― pura superfície. Extraordinário! Aparecer não é manifestar-se ― aparência não é manifestação. Superfície, pura superfície, põe mistério. Mistério não tapa, não obstrui, escondendo e adiando infinitamente. Mistério encerra retração, recuo, sim, mas ele mostra à medida que se retrai e graças ao retrair-se ― mostra/revela o escuro como escuro, o não ver como não ver, o não saber como não saber, o não poder como não poder, a ausência como ausência, enfim, o sem fundo (o abissal) como sem fundo (o abissal). A presença da ausência como ausência. A superfície do abismo. Acolhendo mistério, o sagrado, impera finitude como o registro e a regência da e na vida ― finitude como a casa do homem. A Terra.

O presente texto comenta a presença constante da obra de Kierkegaard nos escritos de Adorno do livro Kierkegaard, Construção do Estético. Mostra como este já havia lido muito Kierkegaard antes mesmo de seu doutorado, em 1924. Enumera então as traduções utilizadas, na Habilitação e nas palestras (dois Anexos ao Kierkegaardbuch). Brevemente situa Adorno em relação a Benjamin e Lukács, e o demarca de Heidegger. Finalmente, contextualiza historicamente as duas palestras, a que nega até a possibilidade do amor cristão e aquela que retrata esse Dinamarquês como não-conformista.

Objectives:

Palliative care (PC) referral in serious and critical COVID-19 improves decision-making, health resource utilisation, end-of-life symptom management and family support. In this study, we explored developing a systematic decision-making matrix for PC referral in COVID-19 and audited its outcomes.

Materials and Methods:

A team of interdisciplinary experts developed a hospital COVID-19 PC plan. PC referral and outcomes of PC referral in hospitalised COVID-19 patients were audited.

Results:

Out of 1575 inpatients, 1066 (67.7%) had mild and 509 (32.3%) had serious and critical COVID-19 illness. Among 50 (3.1%) referred to PC, 5 (0.4%) had mild and 45 (8.8%) had serious and critical COVID-19 illness. Out of 45 serious and critical COVID-19 patients referred to PC, 38 (84%) received end-of-life care (EOLC), 4 (9%) self-discharged against medical advice and 3 (7%) recovered. Forty-seven (94%) were referred for goals-of-care discussion. About 78% received opioids, 70% benzodiazepines and 42% haloperidol for symptom management. Among 45 serious and critical COVID-19 patients referred to PC, foregoing life-sustaining treatment was documented in 43 (96%) but implemented only in 23 (53%). Out of 38 who received EOLC, ICU was the place of death in 31 (82%) and ward in 7 (18%).

Conclusion:

Despite interdisciplinary experts developing a hospital COVID-19 PC, low referral of serious and critical COVID-19 patients to PC was observed. PC referral enabled access to management of end-of-life symptoms and facilitated limitation of life-sustaining treatment in some COVID-19 patients with serious illness. Educating critical care physicians about the scope of PC in the COVID-19 setting might improve PC referral.

Purpose. To evaluate the clinical and functional results after cataract phacoemulsification with implantation of an intraocular lens at reduced intraoperative intraocular pressure, adapted vacuum and aspiration. Material and methods. 12 patients (24 eyes) with immature cataracts without concomitant eye pathology were included in the study. The age of patients was from 62 to 68 years. Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on intraoperative pressure parameters. The main group included 12 eyes with immature cataracts, which underwent phacoemulsification of the cataract with a reduced intraoperative intraocular pressure. 12 paired eyes, which underwent phacoemulsification of the cataract with IOL implantation with standard settings were included in the second (retrospective) group. Postoperative examination included checking visual acuity, tonometry, endothelial microscopy. The observation period was 1 day, 1 and 6 months. Results. Phacoemulsification of the cataract in both groups was performed without complications; operations were completed with intracapsular IOL implantation. It was noted that CDE of the main group was 2.79±0.64, and it was 2.9±0.82 in the control group during analyzing intraoperative indicators. The main differences were noted in indicators of the volume of fluid aspiration: 65.4±1.21 cm3 of the main group and 74.9±2.45 cm3 of the control group. The indicator of the volume of fluid aspiration of the control group was 14% more than that of the main group. After 6 months, the number of endothelial cells of the main group ranged from 1625 to 1935 cells/mm2, in the control group the number of endothelial cells ranged from 938 to 1745 cells/mm2. Conclusions. Performing phacoemulsification of cataract at close to normotonus values of intraoperative pressure parameters, as well as adapted indicators of irrigation-aspiration and vacuum, allows to reduce the negative effect on the corneal endothelium, reducing the percentage of complications and the postoperative period of rehabilitation of patients. Key words: cataract phacoemulsification, intraoperative intraocular pressure, reduced indicators.
A new look at photoprotection and crosslinking in excimer laser vision correction
Authors:   National Medical and Surgical Center Named after NI Pirogov, Ministry of Health of Russia, Moscow, Kornilovskiy I.M.
Published: October 2021

Purpose. To develop approaches to excimer laser keratorefractive surgery based on a new view of the photoprotective function of the cornea, ablation-induced secondary radiation, photoprotective and side effects of crosslinking. Material and methods. The literature data and our own 32-year clinical observations of complications in excimer laser vision correction, methods of their treatment and prevention have been analyzed. Particular emphasis was placed on the analysis of works on photoprotection and crosslinking in photorefractive surgery. New approaches to excimer laser keratorefractive surgery are based on studies on the use of riboflavin for photoprotection and laser-induced crosslinking in corneal ablation (598 operations). Corneal crosslinking was assessed by computed keratotopography, optical coherence tomography, and corneal densitometry. Long-term results were followed up to 8 years. Results. Complications in excimer laser refractive surgery were associated with the development of dry eye syndrome, the formation of subepithelial or intrastromal fibroplasia. Ablation-induced secondary radiation played an important role in the development of complications of excimer laser refractive surgery. It negatively affected keratocytes, nerves and increased oxidative stress in the cornea. To protect against secondary radiation, a new technology of keratoablation with 0.25% isotonic riboflavin solution has been developed. This reduced oxidative stress and aseptic inflammatory response. According to OCT and densitometric studies, a decaying effect of crosslinking with the formation of a membrane structure on the ablation surface was revealed. Local photoprotection during ablation with riboflavin and the effect of crosslinking in combination with postoperative spectacle spectral UV photoprotection accelerated the stabilization of optical-refractive and visual results, increased the photoprotective and strength properties of the thinned cornea. This reduced the risks of keratoectasia and earlier development of cataracts. Conclusion. A new look at photoprotection and crosslinking in excimer laser refractive surgery provides for keratoablation with riboflavin in combination with postoperative spectacle spectral photoprotection from external UV radiation. Key words: excimer laser refractive surgery, dry eye, fibroplasia, keratoectasia, riboflavin, photoprotection, crosslinking.

Important physiological feature of the anatomically «short» eye is the disproportionately large volume of the lens relative to the volume of the eye. A gradual and continuous increase in the volume of the lens contributes to the anterior displacement of the irido-lenticular diaphragm, causing the functional block of the anterior chamber angle. This leads to persistent disorders of the hydrodynamics of the eye, up to the development of an acute attack of angle-closure glaucoma. Purpose. To study incidence of increased risk formation of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) and its acute attack in young patients with moderate and high hyperopia (Hm). Material and methods. Clinical material was presented by 58 patients (116 eyes) with indicators of axial length of the eyes less than 23 mm. The main group consisted of 33 patients (66 eyes) with moderate and high Hm. The comparison group was represented by 25 patients (50 eyes) with PACG. Results. The study made it possible to identify group of increased risk of the formation of PACG, which included 19 people (58%), from selected general population of young patients with moderate and high Hm. Conclusion. Comparative analysis of morphometric parameters of structures of the anterior segment of the anatomically «short» eyes in young patients with moderate and high Hm, on the one hand, and in patients with PACG, on the other, revealed statistically significant differences between them in the anterior chamber depth in the central zone, the thickness of the lens, the anterior chamber volume, the peripheral anterior chamber depth, of the anterior chamber angle. Key words: primary angle-closure glaucoma, acute attack of angle-closure glaucoma, hyperopia, refractive surgery.

Surgery is the only effective treatment for pterygium. The most common technique is the use of a conjunctival autograft after excision of the pterygium. However, the frequency of recurrences of this method, as well as possible complications in different sources, are different. Purpose. To evaluate the efficacy, safety and recurrence rate of conjunctival autograft after pterygium excision. Material and methods. 101 patients with pterygium. aged 57.31 ± 14.7 years. The follow-up period was 1 year in 56 patients and 2 years in 45 patients. All patients underwent excision of the pterygium with conjunctival autograft. Results. An intraoperative complication can be attributed to the insufficient area of the autoconjunctival graft during its transfer to the sclera, which occurred in three patients. Postoperative complications: graft edema in 14 cases (13.86%), granuloma in the suture area was observed in 1 case (0.99%). Recurrence of pterygium was noted in only three cases (2.97%). Conclusion. The use of a conjunctival autograft in pterygium surgery has shown its effectiveness and safety, as well as a low recurrence rate. The donor zone in the upper and lateral makes it possible to excise a sufficient area of autoconjunctival graft with preservation of the intact area of possible future surgery for glaucoma.

Reviewing, as an Extraordinary Mean of Appeal
Authors: Çukaj (Papa) Lirime , Laçi Denisa
Published: October 2021

One of the fundamental rights that a subject in criminal proceedings owns, is the right to appellate a court decision, which besides the usual means of appeal in Albanian system of justice, are guaranteed also by extraordinary means of appeal as it’s reviewing a decision despites any deadline of appeal. The review is the means of appeal, which aims to strike court decisions, which have become final, with positive expectations in each case, to improve the status of the offender. In the constitutional of Albania of 1998 this institute, was not regulated explicitly, but there was foreseen as part of jurisdiction of the High Court, where clearly was put that the high court had preliminary and reviewing jurisdiction. In the framework of the Justice Reforming in 2016, the HC Was stripped of its reviewing jurisdiction. The competence to re-examine a final court decision was given to the first instance court, which can judge in these cases any type of decision that fulfils the criteria to be reviewed, despite the fact if this decision has been taken by an Appeal Court or the High Court. Undertaking legal changes in constitute and Code of Criminal Procedure for this institute came as response/regarding to the legal vacuum found in Albanian system of justice as well as the contractual practice with the ECHR, established by the Albanian court. The Albanian system did not have the effective means to guarantee the right to a fair legal process, the implementation of which has been ascertained by the ECHR in some of the decisions given against Albania as (Xheraj vs Albania; Lika vs Albania etc.). Because of that, in the CPC, become larger the number of cases, when the re-examining of this type of court decision could be done. The purpose of this article is to present in a comparative form the institute of reviewing court decisions; it aims to prescribe how this mean of appeal was and how it is now after the reform, to continue further with the findings of problems that have arisen from the practice of implementing this means of appeal from its latest changes. Justice reform is still in its infancy and therefore the practice of elaborating this tool has been insufficient.
Decision Support Opportunities in the Green Supply Chain Coordination
Authors: Metszosy Gabriella
Published: October 2021

In the 21st century, major changes have taken place in supply chain management. First of all, some new type of supply chains has appeared beside the traditional supply chains. The growing level of pollution, the decreasing level of non-renewable sources indicate changes in the business life. Companies find some alternate solutions to protect the environment – use renewable sources, integrate recycling processes, use the inverse logistics etc. So companies are getting to be eco-conscious, we are called them as ‘green companies’. If these green companies are in one supply chain, we are called as ‘green supply chain’. The coordination of supply chains – whether if traditional or green– is one of the most important research topics in this century. The number of chain members is growing; the cooperation is getting to be more difficult. That is why contracts could be a good solution for this problem, because they define a framework for the parties to manage their relationships. Contracts work well, if the right type is chosen according to the nature of the relationship. But in the case of a green supply chain, there are other influencing factors. Green companies are able to accept higher prices to get higher quality products. In the paper, we analyse how these factors influence the decision-makers to choose between the contracts; we use the AHP decision-making method.

Tax Avoidance in Albania
Authors: Tanto Viola
Published: October 2021

This paper was written in order of the reforming of the tax system’s framework. Analysing phenomena such as tax evasion, tax avoidance, the use of legal loopholes to reduce tax liability in Albania was very challenged. In this paper is analysed also some other jurisdictions, which have served as a reference model for the reform of Albanian legislation, such as the Italian one and the legislation of the European Union. Recently, we were witnesses of a significant increase, in the quantitative and qualitative level, of tax evasion and tax avoidance. Often, the "battle" between the taxpayer and the contributor in bad faith is based on the probative power (burden of proof) of the elements of the transaction which must be verified by the tax administration. Even more often, this fight takes place over the basis of the correct interpretation of legal norms. Evasion is leaving more and more room for refined avoidance. Avoidance is no longer just the prerogative of big companies, corporations or powerful business groups, but it is turned into an ordinary management instrument for small and medium enterprises, even in special cases, even for natural persons. The paper analyses problems such as: basic and key aspects of tax evasion, by distinguishing with other concepts of tax law, such as tax planning and tax evasion, which are the forms of identifying tax evasion/avoidance, the meaning of the doctrine of abuse right. At the end of the paper, you can find a presentation on all findings and conclusions reached during the analysis of the above problems, and some recommendations for the improvement of the activity of the Tax Administration.

Authors: Driton Kuqi
Published: October 2021

The first decade after the breakup of Yugoslavia, was crucial for the North Macedonia state and its citizens. The constitution of the new, independent state was not an easy process and it did not pass peacefully and with no problems. The complex social process and relations have initiated the need for amendments to the Constitution, which, since its adoption in 1991 until today, has been changed 32 times in order to adapt to the new emerging situation and to give a constitutional and legal response to the real challenges. Of course, proper changes also occurred in the political system itself, as a result of numerous factors, which more or less influenced its character and shape.
Using Communicative Approach for Language Teaching in Sri Lankan Secondary Schools
Authors: Dharmawardene Ruwini Prasadini
Published: October 2021

English as a second language curriculum in Sri Lankan public schools aims at enhancing knowledge-building through the use of communicative language teaching (CLT) while assisting both the teachers and the learners to solve problems. In this case study, we investigated the extent of teachers’ inclination to use the CLT approach. The study was guided by Socio-Cultural Theory (SCT) and the Experiential Learning Theory (ELT). Five purposively selected participants in a popular secondary school in Colombo District in Sri Lanka responded to semi structured interviews and were observed while they were teaching. The analysis revealed that although teachers understood that knowledge-building can be enhanced by CLT they are less prepared to implement it because they lack the skills and the competencies in doing so. Further, teachers prefer to follow traditional pedagogic practices that do not lead to knowledge-building in learners. We recommend that a number of workshops be offered to in-service teachers who follow the Postgraduate Diploma in Education in Universities and the other Teacher Training Institutes on how to employ CLT activities that enhance knowledge-building in the secondary school students.

Authors: Qafmolla Alketa , QAFMOLLA Ruzhdie
Published: October 2021

The concept that good health is connected in some way with posture is not new to the medical contemporary philosophy, because several authors have demonstrated an association between the morphology of the cervical column, the head and neck posture and mandible position. Different authors have highlighted a correlation between the morphology of the cervical column and the face dimensions. Positive correlations are found between cervico-cefalic posture and the anterior level of the dent-alveolar mandible and maxilla. For our study the main objective was to discover the relationship between oral anomalies and posture, analyzing the cervical and spinal pathologies at patients with malocclusion. In this study were involved 200 patients aged 5-16 years old with clinical anomalies, presented for 2006 - 2011 period in Orthodontic Department of Medical Dentistry Hospital. Patients were divided in four groups based on their oral anomalies. We performed clinical and radiological examinations, evaluating the morphology of the cervical column. Cephalometric measurements were performed in order to evaluate the cranial basis angle, the vertical craniofacial dimensions, and the sagittal relation of the jaws with each other and with the anterior and posterior cranial bases. Panoramic x-rays were also taken for each individual included at the study. Our study has demonstrated that patients had a higher prevalence of postural pathologies (32%) compared to the control group (3%), and in this change was find a significant statistically value about p-0,001. Also, the most prevalent postural anomalies were fusion C2-C3, kyphosis and lodrosis and less scoliosis. Keywords: Skeletal Anomalies, Posture Morphology, Craniofacial Dimensions, Kyphosis, Scoliosis
