Real Estate Valuations with Small Dataset: A Novel Method Based on the Maximum Entropy Principle and Lagrange Multipliers
Authors: De Paola Pierfrancesco
Published: January 2024

Accuracy in property valuations is a fundamental element in the real estate market for making informed decisions and developing effective investment strategies. The complex dynamics of real estate markets, coupled with the high differentiation of properties, scarcity, and opaqueness of real estate data, underscore the importance of adopting advanced approaches to obtain accurate valuations, especially with small property samples. The objective of this study is to explore the applicability of the Maximum Entropy Principle to real estate valuations with the support of Lagrange multipliers, emphasizing how this methodology can significantly enhance valuation precision, particularly with a small real estate sample. The excellent results obtained suggest that the Maximum Entropy Principle with Lagrange multipliers can be successfully employed for real estate valuations. In the case study, the average prediction error for sales prices ranged from 5.12% to 6.91%, indicating a very high potential for its application in real estate valuations. Compared to other established methodologies, the Maximum Entropy Principle with Lagrange multipliers aims to be a valid alternative with superior advantages.
In Search of the Dao: Process Cosmology, Epistemology, and Ritual in the Xunzi and the Xici zhuan
Authors: Zhao Wei
Published: January 2024

This paper investigates, in a comparative fashion, the common quest for the Dao by authors of the Xunzi and the Xici zhuan of the Book of Changes to come to terms with political and social crises in Warring States China. Since the two texts adopt both similar and divergent methodologies in their search of the Dao, this paper first examines their similarities in terms of process cosmology, epistemology, and practice of ritual, and then analyzes the divergences in their approaches to the Dao. In particular, the practice of ritual is unveiled as the marker of the Dao within the philosophical framework of both texts, albeit with differing connotations. In the final analysis, this paper discusses both the underlying pragmatic applications of the two approaches in the nuanced philosophical insights they provide into the coordination of human beings with the processes of the cosmos, and their implications in understanding what A.C. Graham calls “the disputers of the Dao”.
Prayer and AI: Exploring the Impact on Orthodox Romanian Youth in a Confessional High School Context
Authors: Vidican-Manci Liviu L.
Published: January 2024

The study’s main objective is to identify and analyze the attitude toward prayer of teenagers in a denominational school in Romania and the need to use AI-assisted tools. To find a satisfactory answer, we considered it necessary to identify how they pray, i.e., freely or by calling on the prayer book, and whether they questioned whether artificial intelligence could be an agreeable support. The research also takes into account the documents of the Romanian Orthodox Church from which the attitude of the Hierarchy towards new technologies in general and artificial intelligence in particular emerges. How attentive is the Church to these realities, and how open is it to incorporate them? Does it have any good reason to consider tools like e-rosary in the Catholic world or Alexa Pray in the Anglican world in the near future? The introduction addresses Romania’s socio-political, educational, and theological context, and the discussion focuses on how the literature on digital religion and its subchapters is received in the Romanian theological landscape. The research method includes qualitative, questionnaire, and textual analysis; it is an interdisciplinary approach, namely practical theology and the study of digital religions. The questionnaire was administered to 216 respondents, respecting all research ethics requirements. The results reveal that young people prefer to pray freely, use the prayer book moderately, and have not gathered information regarding artificial intelligence that could help them. However, they are open to a future offers from the Romanian Orthodox Church, including AI-assisted tools.
The Bioenergetic Potential from Coffee Processing Residues: Towards an Industrial Symbiosis

Published: January 2024

Coffee processing generates a large amount of organic waste, which has the potential for energy use through biogas production. Although Brazil dominates world coffee production, treating its residue with biogas technology is not a practice, especially due to this product’s seasonality, which hampers continuous digester operation. The implementation of biogas production from coffee residues in a concept of industrial symbiosis could overcome this. This work evaluates the biogas energy potential from the main liquid residues of coffee processing (i.e., mucilage and wash water) and their integration with glycerin and cattle manure. Around 2773 m3 biogas day−1 would be produced (75% CH4), used as biomethane (734 thousand m3 year−1), or thermal energy (23,000,000 MJ year−1), or electricity (2718 MWh year−1), which could supply, respectively, all the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and diesel demands of the farm, all the thermal energy demands of the grain drying process, as well as electricity for 30 residences. Considering the short coffee season, the results have a broader context for the application of biogas production on coffee processing farms, envisaging that the Agroindustrial Eco-Park concept has the potential to integrate various agroindustrial sectors for energy production, residue exchange, and water recirculation.

Authors: Esfandi Saeed , Tayebi Safiyeh , Byrne John , Taminiau Job , Giyahchi Golkou , Alavi Seyed Ali
Published: January 2024

This review explores the relationship between urban energy planning and smart city evolution, addressing three primary questions: How has research on smart cities and urban energy planning evolved in the past thirty years? What promises and hurdles do smart city initiatives introduce to urban energy planning? And why do some smart city projects surpass energy efficiency and emission reduction targets while others fall short? Based on a bibliometric analysis of 9320 papers published between January 1992 and May 2023, five dimensions were identified by researchers trying to address these three questions: (1) energy use at the building scale, (2) urban design and planning integration, (3) transportation and mobility, (4) grid modernization and smart grids, and (5) policy and regulatory frameworks. A comprehensive review of 193 papers discovered that previous research prioritized technological advancements in the first four dimensions. However, there was a notable gap in adequately addressing the inherent policy and regulatory challenges. This gap often led to smart city endeavors underperforming relative to their intended objectives. Overcoming the gap requires a better understanding of broader issues such as environmental impacts, social justice, resilience, safety and security, and the affordability of such initiatives.

Published: January 2024

Effective DRM aims to identify and minimize both hazards and vulnerabilities of a territory. This case study carried out in Chile analyzes national programs and disaster risk management structures at different administrative levels (national, regional, and municipal) and identifies gaps that contribute to the vulnerability of the current system. The proposed measures and options for improvement presented in this study are based on a literature review of scientific discussions about international governance, disaster risk management, and case studies conducted in Chile. The results indicate that the national disaster risk management plan has been adjusted in recent years, especially after the 2010 Chilean earthquake. The national administration, which is primarily responsible for managing potential risks, as well as the regional and local governments, has been replaced by the National Disaster Prevention and Response System (SINAPRED) in 2021, according to the 21364 law. This law was created to make cities more resilient, contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This change is intended to decentralize disaster risk management, considering local conditions and preventing oversight of disaster risk management, which is not mandatory at the local level. It has also noted some gaps, such as the lack of standardization of emergency and early warning systems and funding at local levels. It is hoped that the system will move forward in this transition period and that the gaps will not affect effective risk management, as they have caused loss of life in past disasters.

Authors: Facuse Muñoz Marisol , Cavalcanti Raíza Ribeiro
Published: January 2024

The present article analyzes the recent debates regarding the redefinition of the museum, exploring resonances in reflective practices and processes in public museums in Chile. While these have caused controversy and discord, they appear to converge in the need to rethink the relationship between museums and society, seeking to make them more inclusive, democratic and diverse. The present discussion is based on the preliminary results of “LAB_Museums: Contemporary Museums and Museologies”, an ongoing interdisciplinary research intervention model promoting processes of co-production of knowledge regarding museums and museography. This paper is the publication of the results of the project. To this end, a collaborative ecosystem of knowledge has been developed between the university, museums and public sector, based on the implementation of laboratories, initially, in five public museums of the Metropolitan Region of Santiago, Chile: the National Museum of Fine Arts, the National Historical Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the Popular Art Museum and the National Center of Contemporary Art. The theoretical/methodological framework used was that of Institutional Analysis (IA), based on which interviews and discussion groups with museum professionals promote dialogues on the present reality and contemporary challenges of museums.

Published: January 2024

The purpose of this survey study is to shed light on the importance of knowledge usage and knowledge-driven applications in telecommunication systems and businesses. To this end, we first define a classification of the different knowledge-based approaches in terms of knowledge representations and reasoning formalisms. Further, we define a set of qualitative criteria and evaluate the different categories for their suitability and usefulness in telecommunications. From the evaluation results, we could conclude that different use cases are better served by different knowledge-based approaches. Further, we elaborate and showcase our findings on three different knowledge-based approaches and their applicability to three operational aspects of telecommunication networks. More specifically, we study the utilization of large language models in network operation and management, the automation of the network based on knowledge-graphs and intent-based networking, and the optimization of the network based on machine learning-based distributed intelligence. The article concludes with challenges, limitations, and future steps toward knowledge-driven telecommunications.

Published: January 2024

In Indonesia, the implementation of tuberculosis (TB) contact investigation is limited, with low detection rates. We report the yield of and risk factors for TB disease and infection for household contacts (HHCs) investigated using chest X-ray (CXR) screening. We identified HHCs aged five years and above of bacteriologically confirmed index cases from 2018 to 2022 in Yogyakarta City and Kulon Progo. All HHCs were offered screening for TB symptoms; TB infection testing with either tuberculin skin testing or interferon gamma release assay; and referral for CXR. Sputum from those with symptoms or CXR suggestive of TB was tested with Xpert MTB/RIF. Risk factors for active TB disease and latent TB infection (LTBI) were identified by logistic regression models. We screened 2857 HHCs for TB between June 2020 and December 2022, with 68 (2.4%) diagnosed with active TB. Of 2621 HHCs eligible for LTBI investigation, 1083 (45.7%) were diagnosed with LTBI. The factors associated with active TB were age, being underweight, diabetes mellitus, urban living, and sleeping in the same house as an index case. Factors associated with LTBI were increasing age and male gender. Conclusions: Screening for HHC including CXR and TST/IGRA yielded a moderate prevalence of TB disease and infection.

Published: January 2024

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonosis caused by metacestodes, the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) has defined CE as a neglected disease, it is the second most important foodborne parasitic disease, and it remains an important public health issue, considering its zonal endemicity and potential morbidity. The control and prevention of CE is a relevant WHO target, especially from a One Health perspective, as the disease affects not only animals and humans but also the food chain. Since not all countries have a CE surveillance strategy or reporting system and specific management guidelines, recent epidemiological data are relatively scarce, and research concerning the specific geographical distribution of the disease is ongoing. To add new information to the subject, we have analyzed and collected data from national guidelines and several medical databases. Out of the 751 research articles that were originally identified, only 52 were included in the investigation after applying specific inclusion and exclusion criteria. Notable international projects that have provided significant contributions and had a positive impact are presented. The available data were correlated with WHO recommendations on the subject, thus showcasing the measures taken and those that are still needed to properly control the disease’s spread.

Authors: Keikha Mahsa , Kahnamouei Jalal Taheri , Moallem Mehrdad
Published: January 2024

Radio frequency (RF) cavities hold a crucial role in Electron Linear Accelerators, serving to provide precisely controlled accelerating fields. However, the susceptibility of these cavities to microphonic interference necessitates the development of effective controllers to mitigate vibration due to interference and disturbances. This paper undertakes an investigation into the modeling of RF cavities, treating them as cylindrical beams. To this end, a pseudo-rigid body model is employed to represent the translational vibration of the beam under various boundary conditions. The model is systematically analyzed using ANSYS software (from Ansys, Inc., Canonsburg, PA, USA, 2022). The study further delves into the controllability and observability of the proposed model, laying the foundation for the subsequent design of an observer-based controller geared towards suppressing longitudinal vibrations. The paper presents the design considerations and methodology for the controller. The performance of the proposed controller is evaluated via comprehensive simulations, providing valuable insights into its effectiveness in mitigating microphonic interference and enhancing the stability of RF cavities in Electron Linear Accelerators.
Analysis and Design Considerations for Transmitter-Compensated Inductance Mistuning in a WPT System with LCC-S Topology

Published: January 2024

In this paper, theoretical analysis and system simulations are carried out to study the effects of the transmitter-compensated inductance mistuning on charging power, transfer efficiency, and the phase angle between the input voltage and input current in a wireless power transfer (WPT) system using inductor/capacitor/capacitor-series (LCC-S) topology. To cancel out the effects of the mistuning, an integrated transmitting coil design scheme is proposed, in which the transmitting coil is unipolar while the compensation coils are bipolar. Theoretical calculations and simulations are performed to show that the proposed compensation inductor guarantees the stability of the compensation inductance when the permeability of the magnetic sheet changes. Furthermore, it is verified that by using the integrated structure the effect of the horizontal misalignment can be ignored. Finally, an experimental platform is built to validate the above results of theoretical analysis and simulation. This proves that the theoretical analysis and simulation results are consistent with each other, which confirmed the stability and feasibility of the integrated compensation inductor.

This study aims to examine the loss and damage experienced by coastal regions from the perspective of adaptation. It also seeks to evaluate the adaptation techniques employed when migration is utilized as a significant approach to mitigate the effects of loss and damage on coastal communities. This study evaluates the extent of loss and damage caused by constraints on adaptation. Two districts, Khulna and Satkhira, in the Khulna division of Bangladesh, were chosen for the study. In these districts, a total of twenty-four detailed interviews and one focus group discussion (FGD) were conducted with individuals living in rural areas whom climate-related effects and disasters have impacted. Additionally, seven interviews were conducted with climate migrants residing in informal settlements within the words of Khulna City Corporation. The process of identifying appropriate interview candidates involves utilizing a combination of specific criteria and snowball sampling techniques. The study employed NVivo 14 software to conduct theme analysis on textual data obtained from interviews. In the coding procedure, we sequentially employed semantic coding, latent coding, categorization, pattern exploration, and theme creation, all of which were in line with the research aim. The study indicates that most affected persons utilize seasonal and temporary movement as an adaptive strategy to deal with the slow effects of climate change, such as increasing temperatures and salinity in rural regions, and when they encounter limitations in their ability to adapt. Conversely, they opted for permanent migration in response to stringent constraints imposed by severe climate events like cyclones and river erosion, leaving them with no alternative but to move to urban regions. Social networks are crucial in influencing migration choices, as several families depend on information provided by urban relatives and rural neighbors to inform their relocation decisions. Nevertheless, not all individuals impacted by the situation express a desire to relocate; others opt to remain in rural areas due to their sentimental attachment to their birthplaces and a sense of dedication to their ancestral territory. Due to the exorbitant cost of urban life, they believe that opting not to migrate is a more practical option for addressing the repercussions of climate-induced loss and damage. The study’s findings aid policymakers in determining migration strategies and policies to address the adverse effects of coastal population displacement in Bangladesh. Additionally, it aids in determining strategies to address the challenges faced by climate migrants in both urban and rural environments.

Published: January 2024

Nos últimos anos houve uma incidência crescente de Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio (IAM), sendo a principal causa de mortalidade e morbidade no Brasil. Os principais fatores de risco mais comumente associados a esta doença são o tabagismo, a obesidade e a história cardiovascular familiar da doença. O IAM advém da isquemia miocárdica prolongada resultando em uma obstrução aguda de uma artéria coronária, afetando o fluxo sanguíneo. O miocárdio sofre progressiva agressão originando a isquemia, lesão e a necrose sucessivamente. Isso ocorre através da rotura súbita e a trombose com ou sem vasoespasmo sobre uma placa aterosclerótica, além disso, a erosão da placa também está associada à etiologia. Através desses eventos, o paciente poderá apresentar diversos quadros clínicos que variam da angina instável e infarto sem supra de ST até o infarto com supra de ST. Devido a isso, é notório que a abordagem precoce do paciente e a agilidade de obter a reperfusão coronariana o mais rápido possível visam um bom prognóstico.

Early detection and treatment of congenital heart disease (CHD) can significantly improve the prognosis of children. However, inexperienced sonographers often face difficulties in recognizing CHD through transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) images. In this study, 2-dimensional (2D) and Doppler TTEs of children collected from 2 clinical groups from Beijing Children's Hospital between 2018 and 2022 were analyzed, including views of apical 4 chamber, subxiphoid long-axis view of 2 atria, parasternal long-axis view of the left ventricle, parasternal short-axis view of aorta, and suprasternal long-axis view. A deep learning (DL) framework was developed to identify cardiac views, integrate information from various views and modalities, visualize the high-risk region, and predict the probability of the subject being normal or having an atrial septal defect (ASD) or a ventricular septaldefect (VSD). A total of 1,932 children (1,255 healthy controls, 292 ASDs, and 385 VSDs) were collected from 2 clinical groups. For view classification, the DL model reached a mean [SD] accuracy of 0.989 [0.001]. For CHD screening, the model using both 2D and Doppler TTEs with 5 views achieved a mean [SD] area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) of 0.996 [0.000] and an accuracy of 0.994 [0.002] for within-center evaluation while reaching a mean [SD] AUC of 0.990 [0.003] and an accuracy of 0.993 [0.001] for cross-center test set. For the classification of healthy, ASD, and VSD, the model reached the mean [SD] accuracy of 0.991 [0.002] and 0.986 [0.001] for within- and cross-center evaluation, respectively. The DL models aggregating TTEs with more modalities and scanning views attained superior performance to approximate that of experienced sonographers. The incorporation of multiple views and modalities of TTEs in the model enables accurate identification of children with CHD in a noninvasive manner, suggesting the potential to enhance CHD detection performance and simplify the screening process.

The results of this test show that the certainty factor method expert system is able to identify a disease based on the symptoms experienced
Addressing the issue of microparticle size Pyrolysis Carbon Black(PCB) by adding to the concrete mixture
Authors: Abdulfattah Osayd , Abdallah Ramez
Published: January 2024

MAX 250 words Tire waste is one of the world's major environmental solid waste problems. Used tires cannot be handled in landfills or burned because they create noxious vapors that are harmful. Therefore, a variety of methods for the treatment of used tires have been proposed. The most advantageous method for disposing of garbage is thought to be tire pyrolysis. By pyrolyzing waste tires, carbon black (PCB) is produced as a byproduct as well as gases, fuel oil, steel, and other materials. Another problem with solid waste is caused by PCB, which accounts for 30-35 weight percent of waste tire materials. In this experimental investigation, PCB inclusion in construction-grade concrete was attempted. The effect of black carbon particle size on concrete was examined in the current research. The compression test, which was performed in the testing, used six different PCB particle sizes. The results showed that the strength in the 28-day compression test could be organized in an increasing fashion, with the smallest particle size (75 m) yielding the highest compressive strength. The seven-day exam is also devoid of the usual arrangement.

Among the various printing technologies available, reverse offset printing is the most promising for transferring fine patterns. This study reports the experimental results of interfacial adhesion and elastic deformation of a blanket during the printing process to demonstrate the fabrication of a high-resolution silver thin-film pattern. Additionally, a silicon wafer was used as the printing template, which allowed for the production of a high-resolution template more easily and at a lower cost than conventional glass templates. We successfully patterned line/space = 4 μm/4 μm using the proposed printing technique, and this resolution can be applied to X-ray diffraction gratings according to simulations.
A Comparative Study of Convolutional Neural Network in Detecting Blast Cells for Diagnose Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Authors: Ahmad Badruzzaman  , Aniati Murni Arymurhty
Published: January 2024

Understanding blood plays a crucial role in obtaining information for monitoring health conditions and diagnosis of hematologic diseases such as acute myeloid leukemia. It is characterized by irregular expansion of immature white blood cells called blast cells in the blood and bone marrow. To diagnose acute myeloid leukemia, a sample of bone marrow is necessary to be examined under a microscope through bone marrow examination. As for minimizing human subjectivity and automating medical screening, this study performed image classification for detecting blast cells in leukocytes from microscopic images. We compared a well-established convolutional neural network architecture such as ResNet, ResNeXt, and EfficientNetV2. The model’s performance assessment was done by two evaluation levels which are at a macro level and per class level. The experiment results show ResNet architecture with 18 layers (ResNet 18) outperforms the remaining models at both levels. Furthermore, as the architecture utilizes residual learning, ResNet and ResNeXt models converge faster than EfficientNetV2 at the training phase. In addition, ResNet architecture with 50 layers (ResNet 50) outperforms the remaining models specifically at blast cell identification in case of medical screening. Therefore, this study concludes that ResNet 50 is the best model to detect blast cells under this condition. However, EfficientNetV2 shows a promising potential at a macro level to classify leukocytes in general. We expect this study to become a preliminary study to develop a convolution neural network architecture specifically to detect blast cells in leukocytes.

Obbligazione climatica e tutela dell’affidamento: una proposta (Tribunale Amministrativo di Parigi, 29 giugno 2023)
Authors: Buffoni Marta
Published: January 2024

Tesi
La progressiva diffusione del contenzioso climatico strategico nel contesto europeo ed internazionale impone di indagare i possibili effetti di questo flusso giuridico nel sistema italiano.
Guardando alla questione attraverso il diritto dei trust e, in particolare, attraverso l’applicazione della public trust doctrine di derivazione americana, si può apprezzare la natura fiduciaria dell’obbligazione climatica gravante su Stati e imprese tenuti ad agire come trustee nella gestione delle risorse naturali affidate alla loro tutela dalle norme costituzionali.
Ciò consente di attrarre nella sfera contrattuale la responsabilità derivante dalla loro eventuale violazione. La prospettazione, in sede contenziosa, di questa ipotesi difensiva, accanto al più tradizionale inquadramento di responsabilità da illecito, può consentire una tutela effettiva e più agile di tutti i soggetti (cittadini, soci, stakehoders) che, a vario titolo, sono beneficiari della gestione di quelle risorse.
The author’s view
The gradual spread of strategic climate litigation in the European and international context makes it necessary to investigate the possible effects of this legal stream in the Italian system.
Looking at the issue through the law of trusts and, in particular, through the application of the U.S.-derived public trust doctrine, we can appreciate the fiduciary nature of the climate obligation pending on States and corporations. It requires them to act as trustees in the management of the natural resources entrusted to their protection by our Constitution.
This allows the liability arising from any breach thereof to be drawn into the contractual sphere. The prospect, in litigation, of this defensive hypothesis, alongside the more traditional framing of tort liability, can allow an effective and more agile protection of all subjects (citizens, partners, stakehoders), who, in various capacities, are beneficiaries of the management of those resources.
Diritti di legittima in Inghilterra: una sentenza sorprendente (Del Curto v Del Curto, 18 agosto 2023)
Authors: Panico Paolo
Published: January 2024

Tesi
Ai sensi di questa sentenza una legittimaria di un de cujus italiano è riuscita a registrare nel Regno Unito un giudizio italiano che si poteva qualificare come un giudizio per una specifica somma di denaro. Ciò è vero nonostante l’espressa esclusione di giudizi in materia successoria dalla Convenzione tra l’Italia ed il Regno Unito per il mutuo riconoscimento delle decisioni di giustizia. Questo risultato sarebbe forse stato meno probabile se il de cujus avesse istituito un trust con certe caratteristiche.
The author’s view
Under this judgment, a forced heir of an Italian decedent successfully registered in the UK an Italian judgment in her favour that could be characterised as a money judgment. This was possible in spite of the express exclusion of judgments on succession matters in the Convention for the mutual recognition and enforcement of judgments between Italy and the UK. This result might have been less likely if the decedent had created a trust with certain characteristics.
Responsabilità professionale di notaio e avvocato e concorso di colpa del cliente. Mutamento della giurisprudenza tributaria (Trib. Lodi, 10 maggio 2023)
Authors: Cavalaglio Lorenzo
Published: January 2024

Tesi
È noto che l’obbligazione del professionista, pur costantemente qualificata quale obbligazione di mezzi, abbia ad oggetto una sempre più puntuale attitudine al conseguimento del risultato pratico voluto dalle parti: pertanto, nell’ambito della consulenza fiscale relativa agli atti stipulati, si estende all’ottenimento degli effetti vantaggiosi eventualmente previsti dalla normativa fiscale e a far rispettare gli obblighi da essa imposti.
Tuttavia, ove il comportamento del cliente contrasti con i doveri di buona fede imposti dall’art. 1375 cod. civ., ad es. rifiutandosi di corrispondere gli importi delle imposte dovute o accertate in relazione all’atto, l’applicazione dell’art. 1227, comma 1, cod. civ. impone una riduzione della misura del risarcimento, traducendosi detto atteggiamento in un concorso di colpa nella produzione del danno causato dalla prestazione professionale. La previsione di obblighi di correttezza a carico del creditore può infatti ridurre o addirittura eliminare la responsabilità del debitore.
The author’s view
A professional’s obligation, although constantly classified as an obligation of means, has as its object an increasingly punctual aptitude for achieving the practical result desired by the parties. Therefore, in the context of tax consultancy relating to notarial acts, it extends to obtain any advantageous effects foreseen by the tax legislation and to enforce the obligations imposed by it.
However, where the customer’s behaviour conflicts with the duties of good faith imposed by art. 1375 of the civil code, e.g. by refusing to pay the amounts of taxes due or assessed in relation to the act, art. 1227, 1st paragraph of the civil code imposes a reduction in the amount of compensation, because that behaviour isa case of contributory negligence in the production of the damage caused by the professional service. The violation of fairness obligations by the creditor can in fact reduce or even eliminate the debtor’s liability.

الاقتباس من الحديث النبوي الشريف في شعر ابن جابر الاندلسي
Authors: د. أناهيد عبد الأمير الركابي
Published: January 2024

منذ دراستي للدكتوراه وأنا أفكر في موضوع "أثر الحديث النبوي الشريف في الأدب العربي" ، فكنت أبحث في المكتبات مرارا وتكرارا بين الكتب علني أجد كتابا مستقلا بهذه الدراسة متناولاً أثر الحديث النبوي الشريف أو الاقتباس منه في شعر أيٍ من الشعراء بدراسة تفصيليلة أو تحليلية ، لكنني وجدت ان اقلام الباحثين والادباء قد اتجهت صوب القرآن الكريم فقط ، فَشَغل النقاد والبلاغيون قديما وحديثاً ، ولم يتصد احد من هؤلاء لدراسة الاقتباس من الحديث النبوي الشريف في كتاب متخصص يظهر روائع إبداعه(صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) على الرغم من ثراء هذا الموضوع لمن أراد الخوض فيه ، على الرغم من كثرة الأقلام التي كتبت في السيرة النبوية فهي كثيرة لا تعد ولا تحصى ، فعلى سبيل المثال لم أجد أحداً قد تعرض إلى دراسة البلاغة النبوية والبيان النبوي

ROLE OF HIGH-RESOLUTION ULTRASONOGRAPHY EVALUATION OF THYROID NODULES AND PATHOLOGICAL GV CORRELATION
Authors: Chavan Harshwardhan , Parlawar Shriya , Naik Prathamesh , Verlekar Ketaki
Published: January 2024

Background: Thyroid nodules are prevalent, and accurately gauging their malignancy risk is paramount. High-resolution ultrasonography
(HRUS) has gained prominence for its diagnostic utility in this context. Yet, its congruence with the pathological gold standard, gross visual (GV)
examination, merits investigation. Objective: This study aims to determine the accuracy of HRUS in assessing thyroid nodules by contrasting its
ndings with GV pathological outcomes. Methods: A retrospective review was undertaken on 200 patients who underwent thyroidectomy. Their
pre-operative HRUS results were juxtaposed against post-operative GV pathological determinations. Metrics such as size, echogenicity, edges,
and blood ow were critically examined. Results: Out of the 200 patients, HRUS successfully identied malignant nodules with a sensitivity of
93.75% and a specicity of 87.5%. The positive and negative predictive values stood at 96.67% and 70% respectively. The concordance between
HRUS and GV observations was represented by a correlation coefcient of 0.82. Conclusion: HRUS offers substantial reliability in the
preliminary evaluation of thyroid nodules, demonstrating a notable correlation with GV pathological assessments. Nonetheless, it has its connes,
and amalgamating it with other diagnostic measures might heighten its precision.
The Role of the Slovene Umbrella Organizations SKGZ and SSO in the Field of Political Participation of Slovenes in Italy
Authors: Brezigar Sara , Vidau Zaira
Published: January 2024
