The doctrine of the recognition of states in the international legal doctrine of the classical period (based on the research of M.A. Zimmerman “Intervention and recognition in international law”)
Authors: Тимченко Лилиана
Published: February 2021

It is difficult for researchers to explain the phenomenon of recognition of States. The author had decided to address the issue from the perspective of the doctrine of State recognition in classical international law. The basis for this work was the study of the most prolific scientist of the Russian immigration ‒ M.A. Zimmerman. The main hypothesis of the article is focused on the idea that narrow political interests of the state may be overcome only by the force of balanced collective legal decisions on the issue of recognition.
Political rights of foreigners from third countries in Poland. Quantitative research results
Authors: Килюшик Иванна
Published: February 2021

The article presents the issue of political inclusion of foreigners from third countries at the level of local government in Poland. Local political rights in Poland apart from citizens are only available to foreigners-citizens of EU countries. In many EU member countries, all foreigners have political rights at local government level if certain conditions are met. To understand whether such a solution is possible in Poland, the public opinion was examined. The article presents the results of the research and provide them for analysis. The research results indicate rather that Poles accept the extension of certain political rights to a group of foreigners from outside the EU.
The division of Competences between Administrative Courts and Common Courts in Poland
Authors: Szustakiewicz Przemysław
Published: February 2021

The constitution defines the competences of a two-instance court consisting of 16 voivodship administrative courts and the Supreme Administrative Court as the control of public administration bodies. The judiciary in this respect is, therefore, subject to checking the legality of administrative bodies. This control generally does not provide for substantive adjudication replacing administrative acts. Administrative courts do not take over the case to recognize but perform its control. Such a case is still being decided by a public administration body.
Is there a “universal” model of the president’s constitutional responsibility in European countries?
Authors: Grabowska Sabina
Published: February 2021

Constitutional responsibility of the president, together with mechanisms of legal constitutional control as well as the control of legality of decisions performed by administrative organs, is a significant instrument, which serves to guarantee the rule of law. In literature it is indicated that constitutional responsibility possesses an individual character, it relies on fault, whereas the penalties have a particular character. The sole proceeding, in terms of people being held administratively liable, relies on disclosing and determining all circumstances related to committing the constitutional tort and punishment of a person who committed it. The key function of the proceedings is compensation towards justice and strengthening of legality, as well as commencement of actions of preventive dimension towards the people holding important positions within the country. The author in the article attempted to create a universal model of the constitutional responsibility of the president in European countries.
Wireless Motion Capture System for Upper Limb Rehabilitation
Authors: Tsilomitrou Ourania , Gkountas Konstantinos , Evangeliou Nikolaos , Dermatas Evangelos
Published: February 2021

This work is devoted to the presentation of a Wireless Sensor System implementation for upper limb rehabilitation to function as a complementary system for a patient’s progress supervision during rehabilitation exercises. A cost effective motion capture sensor node composed by a 9 Degrees-of-Freedom (DoF) Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) is mounted on the patient’s upper limb segments and sends wirelessly the corresponding measured signals to a base station. The sensor orientation and the upper limb individual segments movement in 3-Dimensional (3D) space are derived by processing the sensors’ raw data. For the latter purpose, a biomechanical model which resembles that of a kinematic model of a robotic arm based on the Denavit-Hartenberg (DH) configuration is used to approximate in real time the upper limb movements. The joint angles of the upper limb model are estimated from the extracted sensor node’s orientation angles. The experimental results of a human performing common rehabilitation exercises using the proposed motion capture sensor node are compared with the ones using an off-the-shelf sensor. This comparison results to very low error rates with the root mean square error (RMSE) being about 0.02 m.

Authors: Roy Rajib Baran , Alahakoon Sanath , Arachchillage Shantha Jayasinghe
Published: February 2021

The battery energy storage system (BESS) is an indispensable part of an electric fleet (EF) which needs to be charged by electricity from local grid when the fleet is in the dockyard. The uncoordinated fast charging of BESS in Grid to Ferry (G2F) mode imposes sudden increments of load in the power grid, which is analyzed by a simulated model of grid connected marine load. The probable impact on system stability is examined by MATLAB Simulink and Power World Simulator based models. According to simulation results for IEEE 5 bus system, voltage unbalance factors are 0.01% and 200% for all buses at fundamental and third harmonics frequencies, respectively. The total harmonic distortion (THD) at fundamental frequency becomes 0.16%, 0.16%, and 0.18%, respectively, for three cases. The transient, voltage reactive power (V-Q), and voltage real power (V-P) sensitivity analysis are performed for 7 bus system with load increment contingencies. According to simulation results, the V-Q sensitivity for the assigned contingency is increased by the addition of a shunt generator to the load bus with lowest bus voltage. In case of V-P sensitivity for the selected contingency, the load buses share power among them, and the nose point is attained at maximum shift of power with high V-Q sensitivity.
Effect of the Heating Rate on the Spark-Plasma-Sintering (SPS) of Transparent Y2O3 Ceramics: Microstructural Evolution, Mechanical and Optical Properties
Authors: Liu Lihong , Morita Koji , Suzuki Tohru S. , Kim Byung-Nam
Published: February 2021

High strength transparent Y2O3 ceramics were fabricated from commercial powders using spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique by optimizing the heating rate. The heating rate significantly influenced the microstructures and the optical/mechanical properties of the Y2O3 ceramics. Grain growth was limited accordingly with increasing the heating rate. The ball milling process of the commercial Y2O3 powders is likely to further enhance the sinterability during the SPS processing. The dense Y2O3 ceramics, which were sintered by SPS with 100 °C/min, showed good transmittance range from visible to near infrared (IR). For a high heating rate of 100 °C/min, the in-line transmittance at a visible wavelength of 700 nm was 66%, whereas for a slow heating rate of 10 °C/min, it reduced to 46%. The hardness Hv tends to increase with increasing the heating rate and rigorously followed the Hall–Petch relationship; that is, it is enhanced with a reduction of the grain size. The toughness KIC, on the other hand, is less sensitive to both the heating rate and the grain size, and takes a similar value. This research highlighted that the high heating rate SPS processing can fabricate fully dense fine-grained Y2O3 ceramics with the excellent optical and mechanical properties.

Individual Anthropometric, Aerobic Capacity and Demographic Characteristics as Predictors of Heat Intolerance in Military Populations
Authors: Alele Faith O. , Malau-Aduli Bunmi S. , Malau-Aduli Aduli E. O. , J. Crowe Melissa
Published: February 2021

Background and objectives: The Australian Defence Force (ADF) engages in combat-related activities in hot climatic conditions, which exposes ADF members to the threat of exertional heat illness (EHI). After an episode of EHI, the heat tolerance test (HTT) is conducted to determine heat tolerance. Heat intolerance is the inability to maintain thermal balance while exercising in a hot environment. This study investigated the predictive roles of individual characteristics (age, gender, aerobic capacity (VO2max) and body composition) on physiological responses to the HTT in a group comprising ADF personnel and civilian volunteers. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental design was used and 52 (38 males and 14 females) participants were recruited from the ADF and the general population for the HTT. Heat intolerance was defined following the standard criteria for the HTT (temperature and heart rate). Data were analysed using inferential statistics. Results: The mean age of the participants was 31.1 ± 11.6 years, and 44% (23 people: 19 males and 4 females) of the participants were heat intolerant. Independent samples T-test showed that body mass index (p = 0.011) and body fat% (p = 0.034) of heat-intolerant participants were significantly higher than their heat-tolerant counterparts. Body surface area to mass ratio (p = 0.005) and aerobic capacity (p = 0.001) were significantly lower in heat-intolerant participants. Regression analyses showed that age, gender, aerobic capacity and body fat% were significant (p < 0.001) predictors of heat tolerance outcomes, with R2 values ranging from 0.505 to 0.636. Conclusions: This study showed that aerobic capacity, body fat%, age and gender are predictors of heat intolerance among military and non-military populations. However, there may be a need for future studies to consider identifying other indicators such as clinical biomarkers of heat intolerance, which could be used to develop a more reliable HTT protocol.
Enhancing Carbon Acid pKa Prediction by Augmentation of Sparse Experimental Datasets with Accurate AIBL (QM) Derived Values
Authors: Plante Jeffrey , Caine Beth A. , Popelier Paul L. A.
Published: February 2021

The prediction of the aqueous pKa of carbon acids by Quantitative Structure Property Relationship or cheminformatics-based methods is a rather arduous problem. Primarily, there are insufficient high-quality experimental data points measured in homogeneous conditions to allow for a good global model to be generated. In our computationally efficient pKa prediction method, we generate an atom-type feature vector, called a distance spectrum, from the assigned ionisation atom, and learn coefficients for those atom-types that show the impact each atom-type has on the pKa of the ionisable centre. In the current work, we augment our dataset with pKa values from a series of high performing local models derived from the Ab Initio Bond Lengths method (AIBL). We find that, in distilling the knowledge available from multiple models into one general model, the prediction error for an external test set is reduced compared to that using literature experimental data alone.

Published: February 2021

Tudo na vida está em constante transformação. Na área de ensino, isso necessita ocorrer com frequência, por ser necessário estar sempre otimizando a forma de ministrar os conteúdos. Em vista disso, este livro faz menção direta ao professor, apontando ideias de cunho cientifico, para que este adote em sua caminhada docente, a utilização de recursos didáticos inovadores. Entende-se que, para que isso ocorra, faz-se necessário a constante atualização do docente em novas metodologias, buscando fazer com que o ensino seja algo positivo e prazeroso ao aluno. A disciplina de química, em particular, é considerada de difícil entendimento pela maioria dos discentes. Isto é fruto, em partes, da linguagem dos livros e, em alguns casos, da didática utilizada em sala pelo professor serem um tanto quanto “complexas” para a assimilação do discente.

Published: February 2021

Y-doped HfO2 films with thicknesses of 150−1000 nm were prepared on Pt/TiO
x
/SiO2/Si substrates by the sputtering method and subsequent heat treatment at 800 °C. XRD analysis showed that the films consisted of an almost pure orthorhombic/tetragonal phase. Hysteresis loops originating from the ferroelectricity were observed in the polarization−electric field relationship; the remnant polarization and coercive field were about 12 μC cm−2 and 1.2 MV cm−1, respectively. Piezoelectricity was also confirmed from the strain−electric field curves for 1 μm thick films, and the apparent piezoelectric coefficient, d
33,f, near 0 MV cm−1 was estimated to be about 2.5 pm V−1. Taking account of the relatively low dielectric constant of about 23, the piezoelectric responses from 1 μm thick films prepared by the sputtering method are useful for piezoelectric microelectromechanical system applications, especially for sensor applications, since the performance of such applications is proportional not only to the piezoelectric response but also to the inverse of the relative dielectric constant.

Published: February 2021

The negative pressure atmosphere during the development process was investigated to mitigate the photoresist pattern collapse which is one of the traditional issues in the lithography processes for every generation of photoresists; i-line, KrF, ArF, ArF immersion, and recently extreme ultraviolet. The pattern collapse is caused by the capillary force between resist patterns during rinsing and drying in the development process. The main factors of capillary force are the surface tension and the contact angle of rinsing liquid and also the pattern structure (line width, space width, and height). On the other hand, the capillary force is influenced by the atmosphere pressure. In this paper, we controlled the chamber pressure during the rinsing and drying processes for the pattern collapse mitigation. The minimum critical dimension without pattern collapse under the negative pressure was found to be smaller (approximately 10% improvement) than that obtained with atmosphere pressure.

Published: February 2021

This paper studies the structural design of the wireless-electrodeless quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) sensor, which has a rectangular AT-cut quartz oscillator installed in the microchannel fabricated by nanoimprint lithography. The quartz oscillator was supported by the micropillars in the microchannel, and by optimizing the micropillar arrangement, it was found that the structural damping could be significantly reduced by performing the finite elemental piezoelectric analysis. This behavior was then confirmed by the experiments using the evaluation chips. By supporting the four corners of the quartz oscillator with the micropillars, the structural damping could be reduced, achieving a high-quality factor (Q-factor) of about 24700. This high Q-factor was also realized in the experiments, and we investigated its application to a hydrogen-gas sensor. We succeeded in detecting hydrogen gas with an extremely low concentration of 10 ppm.
Changes in the temperature dependence of Ag/Ta2O5/Pt gapless-type atomic switches caused by desorption/adsorption of water molecules from/into the Ta2O5 matrix
Authors: Mikami Maiko , Tanahashi Naoya , Tsuruoka Tohru , Hasegawa Tsuyoshi
Published: February 2021

We measured, in vacuum, the temperature dependence of the Forming time in a Ag/Ta2O5/Pt gapless-type atomic switch, the results of which clearly suggest that the rate limiting process is the diffusion of Ag+ cations in the Ta2O5 layer. It is known that water molecules adsorbed in a Ta2O5 matrix enhance the diffusion of Ag+ cations, and this study further shows that desorbing water molecules by annealing at 623 K, which is known to be the desorption temperature of water molecules from Ta2O5 matrixes, increases the diffusion barrier height from 0.38  to 1.1 eV. We found that annealing at much lower temperatures, e.g. 343 K, for a longer period of time can also desorb the said water molecules. Accordingly, we measured the Forming time in air, which resulted in a completely different temperature dependence. The rate limiting process of Forming changes from ionic diffusion to nucleation when the process is conducted in air.

Published: February 2021

The diagnosis from Covid-19 provides the set of several examinations such as: clinical examinations, laboratory examinations, radiographic examinations. Using radiological imaging, RX and chest CT, it is possible to evaluate the impairment of lung function and thanks to this aspect it is possible to define the severity and clinical conditions of the patient. In this way, it allows timely therapeutic intervention especially if the patient shows a mild condition in such a way as to avoid the onset of further complications. Chest X-rays allow both an initial assessment of patients and the possibility to perform a differential diagnosis towards other possible causes of lung parenchyma involvement. The CT scan, which highlights the peculiar characteristics of COVID pneumonia, is performed both as diagnostic confirmation and in the patient’s follow-up.
PROGNOSTIC IMPORTANCE OF HYPONATREMIA IN ACUTE STELEVATION MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Authors: Spandana Datti , Keerthana Pamidi Kavya Siva , Rao T. Murali Venkateswara
Published: February 2021

Background: Hyponatremia has been shown to be a predictor of cardiovascular mortality among patients with heart
failure. In fact, the neurohormonal activation that accompanies acute myocardial infarction is similar to that which
accompanies heart failure.
Aims And Objectives : To nd out the prognostic importance of hyponatremia in acute ST elevation myocardial infarction.
Material And Methods: 100 consecutive patients presenting with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction admitted to N.R.I Medical college
and General hospital from March 2019 to March 2020 were studied. Qualifying patients underwent detailed history and clinical examination.
Plasma sodium concentrations were obtained on admission and at 24, 48 and 72 hours thereafter. The primary end point was all cause mortality
within 30 days following myocardial infarction.
Results: In our study, substantial proportion of patients who presented with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction were hyponatremic on
admission or developed hyponatremia shortly after admission. The odd's ratio for 30-day mortality was found to be high in the hyponatremic
groups compared to normal group. We also found a signicant linear relationship between severity of hyponatremia and mortality. Multivariate
analysis was performed which identied hyponatremia on admission or early development of hyponatremia as a signicant independent
predictor of 30 day mortality.
Conclusion: In our study we concluded that hyponatremia on admission or early development of hyponatremia in patients with acute ST
elevation myocardial infarction is an independent predictor of 30-day mortality. Plasma sodium levels may serve as a simple marker to identify
patients at risk.

Published: February 2021

Left ventricular aneurysm is a localized area of the myocardium, with abnormal outward bulging and deformation during
systole and diastole, which may be an akinetic, dyskinetic hypokinetic segment. It is due to the weakening of the muscle
wall. The aim of this study is the assessment of the Left Ventricular aneurysm, its clinical presentation, Repair technique, and surgical outcome of
patients presented with Acute Myocardial infarction with Ventricular wall complications. A retrospective study of the case scenarios that have
undergone LV aneurysm repair in a tertiary care hospital facility over four years (2015-2019) after being diagnosed with Acute and evolved
Myocardial infarction, which has been rehabilitated by medical management and then referred from cardiology. The Cases with aneurysm were
diagnosed by 2d- echocardiography, examined for window period, taken up for surgery, which is re-vascularisation and surgical ventricular
remodeling. Of the 6 cases operated, the results were as follows. The mean age of presentation is early for patients with co-morbidities like
diabetes and hypertension. Female preponderance is seen. Habitual alcohol consumption causes an early presentation of symptoms.
Severe LV dysfunction due to occlusion of the Left coronary artery causes this aneurysm. The most frequent site of aneurysm is the anterior wall
with an apex. Apex or Distal anterior wall involvement is repaired by Dor or Linear repair. A septal aneurysm is repaired by septal exclusion by
linear Dacron. To conclude, acute MI due to Single or Triple vessel disease can lead to LV aneurysm, which can be Akinetic or Dyskinetic
segment.LV Aneurysm as a complication can have a varied presentation, including an Anterior wall, Apex, Apex, and variable extent of the
septum and posterior wall, with varied ventricular function with organic valvular MR or Functional MR. Patients with Hypertension and
Habitual alcohol consumption have an early age of presentation

Published: February 2021

Background: Surgical hemorrhoidectomy is usual method for management in hemorrhoid grade III and IV. It is
generally associated with postoperative pain, long hospital stay and a longer convalescence. Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is
a newer minimally invasive alternative for the treatment of hemorrhoids.
Aims: In this study, the above two methods were compared with respect to short term outcomes.
Settings and Design: This was a prospective and randomized study.
Methods: 60 patients having grade 3 or 4 hemorrhoids and who fullled the criteria were included in the study. Thirty patients underwent stapled
hemorrhoidopexy and other thirty underwent open hemorrhoidectomy. All patients were reviewed immediately after surgery and at 1, 3 and6
weeks post-operatively. The two groups were compared in terms of duration of surgery, hospital stay, return to work and post-operative level of
satisfaction .
Statistical Analysis: The statistical analysis was done using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) Version 15.0 statistical Analysis
Software. Signicance was assessed at 5% level of signicance. Student t-test was used to nd the signicance of study parameters on
continuous scale in parametric condition between two groups (inter group analysis) and Mann Whitney U test was used to nd the signicance of
study parameters on continuous scale in non-parametric condition within each group. Chi-square/ Fisher Exact test were used to nd the
signicance of study parameters on categorical scale between two groups.
Results: The overall mean age of patients in our study was 41.35 ± 12.80. The majority of patients in the study were males (78.3%) and had grade
3 haemorrhoids (93.3%). Stapled hemorrhoidopexy group had shorter duration of surgery, less postoperative pain and need for analgesia, shorter
duration of hospital stay and earlier return to work and a high patient satisfaction as compared with open hemorrhoidectomy group.
Conclusions: Stapled hemorrhoidopexy is a minimally invasive, better and safer alternative to open hemorrhoidectomy with many short-term
benets.
The Reactive and Radiation Electromagnetic Energies of Antennas: A New Formulation
Authors: Xiao Gaobiao
Published: February 2021

It is
required to calculate the stored reactive energy of an antenna in
order to evaluate its Q factor. Although it has been investigated for a long
time, some issues still need further clarification. The main difficulty
involved is that the reactive energy of an antenna tends to become infinitely
large when integrating the conventionally defined energy density in the whole
space outside a small sphere containing the antenna. The reactive energy is
usually made to be bounded by subtracting an additional term associated with
the radiation fields. However, there exists no well-accepted accurate
definition for this additional term that is valid for all cases. By re-checking
the definition of reactive energies, a new formulation is proposed in this
paper which can separate the reactive energy and the radiation energy
explicitly based on source-potentials. The clearly defined reactive energy is
bounded without necessity to subtract that additional term, and the resultant formulae
are easy to implement.
Regret for the Time of Heroes and Existential Toska in Vladimir Vysockij
Authors: Curletto Mario Alessandro
Published: February 2021

In the poetic legacy of Vladimir Vysockij, feelings of nostalgia are expressed in diverse ways, conveying various shades of boredom, longing, and melancholy. A special role is played in Vysockij's oeuvre by the so-called “longing for a heroic era”, which is sometimes expressed explicitly, but more often found in the implicit representation of “longing for a heroic deed”. Vysockij's conception of the heroic deed or feat (podvig) casts this as a moral and spiritual state that contrasts sharply with the surrounding world and with everyday life. While Vysockian "longing for a heroic deed" can be associated with specific geographic contexts (including mountains, the taiga, glaciers in the North), this articles argues that it was the peculiar chronotope of the Great Patriotic War that served as the quintessential context for the heroic feat in Vysockij's universe.
Melancholic Humor, Skepticism and Reflective Nostalgia. Igor’ Guberman’s Poetics of Paradox
Authors: Salmon Laura
Published: February 2021

The poetry of Israeli émigré Igor' Guberman, comprising thousands of quatrains (‘gariki’), represents a hybrid genre at the junction of Jewish aphoristic tradition, Russian oral folklore, and classical Russian poetry. The theme of toska, which is central to the gariki, may be sharply distinguished from the ‘restorative nostalgia’ theorized by Svetlana Boym (2001): Guberman's toska is a thoughtful, melancholic, and paradoxical feeling. It expresses a particular variety of skepticism that characterizes the paradoxical humor of the Ashkenazi, the purpose of which is not to ridicule others' shortcomings, but to gently make fun of the sadness and painful absurdity that impermeates human existence. Such melancholic and paradoxical humor permits Guberman to look at life, at himself, even at God, with an indulgent ‘smile of reason’ that is absolutely devoid of arrogance. A subtle melancholic and deep skeptic, Guberman "laughs through his tears", for this is what Russian-Jewish tradition teaches, a lesson that has penetrated deeply and more generally into Russian literature: when the soul is beset by excessive sadness, its has recourse only to laughter.

U ovom radu predstavićemo izdavačku djelatnost Gradske biblioteke i čitaonice u vezi sa popularizacijom i prezentacijom kulturne baštine Boke i Crne Gore.

Izdavačka djelatnost biblioteke najvećim dijelom se ostvaruje zahvaljujući Programu zaštite i očuvanja kulturnih dobara Ministarstva kulture Crne Gore. Ovaj program već godinama podržava, finansira i sufinansira programe i projekte od značaja za ostvarivanje javnog interesa u oblasti kulturne baštine Crne Gore – konzervatorske, muzejske, bibliotečke, arhivske i kinotečke djelatnosti.

Predstavićemo tri publikacije koje je Gradska biblioteka i čitaonica Kotor objavila u okviru projekata Programa zaštite i očuvanja kulturnih dobara Ministarstva kulture Crne Gore: naučnu publikaciju dr Katarine Mitrović Benediktinci na području Barske nadbiskupije i Kotorske biskupije (9. stoljeće – 1571), zbirku poezije Pontapeti pjesnikinje Dubravke Jovanović i publikaciju Dobrotske pjesmarice Aleksandre Tomović.

Realizacijom ovih projekata Gradska biblioteka i čitaonica Kotor je značajno obogatila zavičajnu zbirku i objavila publikacije značajne za bokeljsku i crnogorsku književnost i kulturnu istoriju. Na ovaj način aktivno smo doprinijeli očuvanju, zaštiti, valorizaciji, prezentaciji i popularizaciji kulturne baštine, širenju znanja o vrijednostima i značaju kulturne baštine, razumijevanju različitih kultura, uspostavljanju saradnje između baštinskih institucija.

Saus adalah salah satu bagian terpenting dalam penyajian makanan. Sebagai dressing, saus memiliki peran yang besar untuk dapat membuat makanan menjadi lebih menarik. Dalam hal rasa, saus juga memiliki peran besar untuk meningkatkan citarasa dan tekstur dari hidangan. Seni dalam mengolah saus berkembang sangat luas, melingkupi teknik pengolahan, proses pemasakan dan juga bahan baku. Dari segi bahan baku, muncul sedikit permasalahan, saat berbicara mengenai aspek halal, sebab sebagian besar saus masakan Eropa mengandung bahan baku tidak halal.
