BATTLE FOR MINDS. ELEMENTS OF CRITICAL PEDAGOGY
Authors: SEGALERBA Gianluigi
Published: July 2023

In my study, I concentrate my attention on some aspects of Freire’s thought on pedagogy. I analyse some aspects of Freire’s opposition between his model of pedagogy and the banking model of education, i.e. the oppressor pedagogy: the bank education’s goal is to establish and conserve a hierarchical society; the problem-posing education aims to establish an egalitarian society and eliminate oppression forms. The concepts of anthropology which underlie the two pedagogical systems are quite different from each other: bank education views individuals as complete entities, i.e., as entities whose essence is given once and for all, whereas problem-posing education sees individuals as self-transcending entities and thus as entities who develop and change in history. I then analyse Freire’s investigation on the mechanism of internalisation: internalisation is the process through which oppressed individuals are transformed into entities mentally directed by the oppressors. It corresponds to the complete assimilation of the mind of the oppressed to the mind of the oppressor. The oppressed are therewith transformed into replicas of the ideology of the oppressors. The text of Freire which I use for my investigation is Pedagogy of the oppressed.
TRANSCENDENCE AND IDEAS
Authors: BOUVOT Kathrin , SEGALERBA Gianluigi
Published: July 2023

In our analysis we deal with some interpretations of the concept of the idea in the history of philosophy. We concentrate our investigations on the following authors: Plato, Descartes, Locke and Berkeley. In particular,- Throughout our analysis of Plato, we interpret ideas as the entities which pave the way to the discovery of transcendence. Ideas show, by virtue of their existence, that not only the sphere of the average life and not only the sphere of perception exist. Correspondingly, individuals cannot be reduced to the dimension of their sphere perception. Through the recollection of the ideas, the subject can acknowledge that there is a reality dimension which transcends the dimension of the senses.- Descartes enables us to observe the search for the conditions of certainty regarding the activity of the minds. Descartes’ strategy, through his inquiry into the innate idea of God and into the contents of this idea, is directed to the demonstration of the existence of God: the demonstration of the existence of God is functional to the foundation of the possibility of certainty of the mental and cognitive activities of the subject.- Locke considers the dimension of the internal and external experience as the very root of the ideas: this position corresponds to Locke’s refusal of any form of innatism whatsoever. Locke does not admit any innate idea, and sees the origins of the ideas only in the external and internal experience. Innatism of whichever ideas cannot be accepted; the subject is completely dependent on his experience.- A regards Berkeley, we concentrate our investigation on Berkeley’s strategy of refusal of materialism. In Berkeley’s view, there is nothing else than ideas in the mind of the subject. All objects are equivalent to ideas. From the existence of the ideas the subject cannot legitimately infer the existence of a reality which is independent of his own mind. The investigation on the characteristics and sources of the ideas demonstrates that there is no independent existence of entities outside God’s mind.
PHILOSOPHY OF SOCIETY AND BUSINESS ETHICS: WHEN BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS HAVE TO DEAL WITH SOCIAL CONTEXT
Authors: PARADA Jose Luis
Published: July 2023

In the last times corporations have put emphasis in certain areas such as corporate reputation, social responsibility and new human resources policies. This is something quite relevant considering the current crisis that is affecting many institutions, also business. However, it is not common to include in business theory subjects related to citizenship, public ethics or social behaviour, what is key if corporations need to dialogue (and understand) each and every stakeholder. We believe that we do not need merely technical approach but a wider one that includes several areas from Social Sciences, because a corporation cannot be understood by itself but in connection with its social environment and the social agents around.
The Most Mexican of Us All: Yiddish Modernism and the Racial Politics of National Belonging
Authors: Grossman Rachelle
Published: July 2023

This article investigates how Yiddish writing in Mexico illuminates the ambiguous position of Jews both within their local context and as part of a global network of Yiddish modernist writers. Through an analysis of the poetry of two Jewish immigrants to Mexico, Yitzjok (Isaac) Berliner (1899–1957) and Jacobo Glantz (1902–1982), this article argues that these immigrant poets adopted local themes and styles characteristic of Mexican modernism as a way to rhetorically write Jews into the nation. Although Mexican modernist literature and art was most typically expressed in Spanish, these poets took on local forms but preserved Jewish difference by writing in Yiddish. At the same time, Berliner and Glantz also engaged with a global, diasporic network of Yiddish modernism centered in New York and Warsaw. Focusing on the so-called “Mexican” subject matter enabled these poets to participate in a larger conversation about expanding the boundaries of Yiddish literature, proposing the literature’s worldliness by speaking beyond an explicitly Jewish experience. The works of these immigrant writers, therefore, demonstrate the emergence of a Third Space at the intersection not only of the immigrant and the nation, but also between the periphery and the centers of a transnational Yiddish network.
“Watch Out or These Other Races Will Have Control of Things”: Witnessing Race and Racial Witnessing in The Great Gatsby
Authors: Gottlieb Madeline
Published: July 2023

Although countless scholars have approached the subject of racism and racialization in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s 1925 masterpiece The Great Gatsby, few have identified a common theme hinted at by Tom Buchanan in his dramatic rant when he declares, “Civilization’s going to pieces . . . the idea is if we don’t look out the white race will be—will be utterly submerged”—namely, the difference between “looking” and witnessing. Throughout the novel, in fact, the many white characters’ physical sight of race and their witness to racially hostile situations are the dramatic device through which they acknowledge and boast of their white supremacist beliefs. This article explores the connection between race, sight, and witnessing in Gatsby, and interrogates the significant role of white characters’ witnessing of race and racialized characters’ moments of witnessing throughout the text. Ultimately, it aims both to continue the extensive work concerning pernicious white supremacy in The Great Gatsby, as well as propose a new direction for this conversation by identifying the ability of Fitzgerald’s characters of color both to witness situations and to act in them.
Joseph Conrad’s Major Fiction and Tender Is the Night: Part Two: Lord Jim, Nostromo, Victory, The Secret Sharer, and What F. Scott Fitzgerald May Have Learned for the Novel’s Form and Narration
Authors: Messenger Chris
Published: July 2023

In addition to Heart of Darkness, extensively studied in my 2021 F. Scott Fitzgerald Review essay, “Joseph Conrad’s Major Fiction and Tender Is the Night: Part One: Heart of Darkness and Resentful Caretaking in Tender Is the Night,” this article extends the consideration of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s fascination with Joseph Conrad into more novels that may have influenced his conceptions in Tender Is the Night, including Lord Jim, Nostromo, The Secret Sharer, and Victory. The focus is again on “Fitzgerald’s Conrad” as an exemplary early modernist figure to be learned from and adapted to his narrative needs in the complex novel that became Tender Is the Night. Fitzgerald perhaps shows both conscious and unconscious Conradian influences in his depictions of the material world and historical scene of the book. Conrad’s fiction may have allowed Fitzgerald a way forward to key narrative and stylistic decisions in his novel, which may richly think past its creator to embrace influences and echoes from another classic modernist. The contention is that Conrad’s influence is born out of Fitzgerald’s urgent needs for his long-delayed fourth novel: a protagonist, a viewpoint, a journey, a romance, a tragedy, a self-knowing, and then a leave-taking.
“Who’s This Welles?”: Pat Hobby’s Take on Hollywood Celebrity Culture
Authors: Cobb Cam
Published: July 2023

The seventeen Pat Hobby stories F. Scott Fitzgerald produced in 1939–40 to finance the writing of his final, incomplete novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon, have long been dismissed as minor efforts. The installment widely considered the best of the series—“Pat Hobby and Orson Welles,” which appeared in Esquire in May 1940—attracts attention mostly because of its historical importance: as its title suggests, it contrasts Fitzgerald’s hapless, aging Hollywood hack to the real-life wunderkind director who was in 1939 arriving in Tinsel Town on a whirlwind of publicity over his accomplishments in the theater and on the radio. “Pat Hobby and Orson Welles” offers a timely, often arch take on the artistic type that Welles quickly came to epitomize: the auteur, the creative genius who proves every bit as erratic and quixotic as he is visionary. Only six months after Fitzgerald’s death on 21 December 1940, Welles’s masterpiece Citizen Kane would open to critical acclaim but a disastrous box office run, due mainly to libel threats from William Randolph Hearst, the ostensible inspiration for its titular character. While Fitzgerald did not live to see Welles’s landmark film or the director’s subsequent tempestuous career, “Pat Hobby and Orson Welles” identifies many of the anxieties the industry would suffer over the unreliability and celebrity hyperbole that auteurs would generate as they threw production processes into upheaval by pursuing art. In the end, Orson Welles as Fitzgerald portrays him is no Monroe Stahr, the author’s image of the charismatic leader who in The Love of the Last Tycoon is at once a consummate artist and businessman.

A new method of short segmental multi-rod posterior instrumental fixation of lumbar vertebral body fractures (groups A3 and A4 according to the AO classification) characterized by the combined use of two short transpedicular screws with maximum lateralization of their heads fixing the injured and adjacent vertebrae and two short laminar implants in the form of distractors and contractors installed according to a standard technique with their positioning symmetrically to the spinous processes was developed. If transpedicular fixation of the fractured vertebra is impossible, both laminar systems are installed in the form of staples with circular coverage of the corresponding half-arc of the adjacent vertebrae due to supra- and infralaminar arrangement of standard hooks. The method involves the use of standard vertebrological instruments as well as widely available licensed implants and the classic technique of their installation. A clinical case of surgical treatment of a 27-year-old victim with a comminuted compression fracture (group A3 according to the AO classification) of the 3rd lumbar vertebra is reported. An excellent clinical and radiological result was obtained.

基于SKETCH ENGINE的汉语近义词辨析研究
Authors: Sahertian Diana Constansz
Published: July 2023

Abstract This study aims to describe the similarities and differences in collocation behavior and semantic preferences between two synonymous Chinese verbs, hulüe (忽略) and hushi (忽视). The data derives from the Chinese Web 2017 (zhTenTen11) Simplified corpus in Sketch Engine. This study applies both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The results of the research show that both synonymous words often collocate with abstract nouns, adverbs, verbs, adjectives and prepositions (“zai在”, “gei给”, “cong从”, “yu与”, “dui对”, “bei被”, “ba把”, “jiang将”). Some of them only collocate with “hulüe” or “hushi”, some collocate with both “hulüe” and “hushi”, but according to the frequency of occurrence, some tend to co-occur with one of them. Referring to Ucrel Semantic Analysis System, nouns classified in the "money and commerce in industry"  domain tend to collocate with "hulüe", and nouns classified in the "body and individual" domain (especially "health and diseases” and “pharmacy and health care” ), and “education” domain tend to collocate with "hushi".

Keywords: sketch engine; Chinese synonym; discrimination; hulüe; hushi; collocation behavior; semantic preference

Published: July 2023

В статье рассматривается золотоносность терригенно-карбонатных пород, распространенных в Центральном блоке Алмалыкского рудного района, представляющие интерес как потенциально перспективные объекты, пополняющие минерально-сырьевую базу Узбекистана. Критерии выделения золотосодержащих и собственно золоторудных формаций основаны на сравнительно новых типах месторождений в терригенно-карбонатных породах традиционно считавшихся бесперспективными на рудные месторождения. Выявлено, что основная часть золота мелкое, тонкодисперсное, самородное и распределено по всей массе пород, что затрудняет определение золота лабораторно-аналитическими исследовани- ями и его технологическое извлечение. Местами основным минералом-концентратором является пирит. Наиболее обогащены золотом места скопления первичных сульфидных руд, зоны метаморфизма и интенсивного окисления.

Threats To The Lepidoptera and Self-Defence Against It
Authors: Sulakhe Shauri
Published: July 2023

Butterflies, classified under the order Lepidoptera, are beautiful and elusive creatures that play an important role in the food chain. They are preyed upon by various organisms, including parasitoids, parasites, and predators. Parasitoids are small organisms that lay their eggs inside butterfly eggs or larvae, eventually killing the host. Parasites live off the host without necessarily killing it, such as mites, viruses, and bacteria. Predators, including insects, reptiles, mammals, and birds, consume butterflies at various stages of their life cycle. These predators use different hunting strategies, such as aerial hunting, sit-and-wait tactics, and web-building. Butterflies have defense mechanisms, including camouflage, mimicry, and unpalatability, to protect themselves from predators. Mimicry involves imitating the appearance and behavior of other species, while unpalatability refers to the possession of toxins that deter predators.

Los 40 años de la Declaración de Cartagena sobre los Refugiados y la crisis migratoria venezolana
Authors: Morera Martín Moisés , Biderbost Pablo Nicolás
Published: July 2023

América Latina se caracteriza por su liderazgo en materia de protección del asilo y refugio, y por sus legislaciones y prácticas de raíz consuetudinario-humanitarias muy avanzadas. La adopción de la Declaración de Cartagena sobre los Refugiados, en 1984, creó, de nuevo, vanguardia y presentó una definición ampliada del concepto de refugiado que sirve como complemento regional a la Convención de Ginebra de 1951.

La actual crisis migratoria venezolana está impactando en América Latina y el Caribe con una intensidad y velocidad nunca antes vistas. Casi 7 millones de venezolanos se han visto obligados a abandonar su país, la mayoría de los cuales (5,75 millones) ha llegado a países de la región, especialmente a Colombia. Ante esta crisis, el 40º aniversario de la Declaración de Cartagena, que se celebrará en 2024, presenta una ocasión única para el análisis de los avances y vacíos existentes en la protección regional de la población refugiada y migrante.

Dada la enorme legitimidad que tiene la Declaración de Cartagena, en este artículo  se pretende posicionarla en la agenda latinoamericana al considerarse que puede ser parte de la solución buscada a esta crisis.

Authors: Singh Karan , Faisal Mohammad , Sharma Manisha , Ikram Mohsin
Published: July 2023

Bamboos suffer from insect damage, in varying degree, right from the seed to the finished products by as many as 212 insect species. Chlorophorus annularis (Cerambycidae: Coleoptera) is one of the serious pests on dry bamboo. Three preservatives, viz., CCB (Copper sulphate, Chrome and Boric acid), Borax and ZiBOC (Copper sulphate, Borax, Zinc chloride) at 6 per cent concentration by pressure, and dipping method were used for the control of C. annularis. CCB 6% preservative after 7 days of dipping yielded a maximum of 76.62 average per cent borer control in dry bamboo followed by 4 days of dipping (71.17%), 2 days of dipping (48.06%) and after 1 hour of dipping (45.88% borer control). Preservatives used for the control of bamboo borer damaging cut and dry bamboo were quite effective and the methodology applied was environmentally safe. For post-harvest management of dry bamboo, ZiBOC or CCB 6% preservative after 7 days of of dipping is recommended for effective borer control.

Climate change perception, behaviour, and willingness to purchase alternative fuel vehicles: the missing dots
Authors: Jesus Ana Paula , Ferreira Dias Marta , Coelho Margarida
Published: July 2023

This paper explores the correlation between respondents concerns regarding climate change, their eagerness to adopt an AFV and their responsiveness to incentives. Seen as the solution for a cleaner mobility and greenhouse gas reduction in urban areas globally, alternative fuel vehicles (AFV) still own a modest market share in Europe. Among many reasons, the purchase price seems to be one of the most challenging to overcome. Incentives are considered a solution to mitigate the price barrier. The results of a survey carried out by the authors to 444 respondents led the authors to conclude that participants agree that AFVs contribute to tackle climate change. They also deduced that the vehicles price represents an offside for the lower-income households. Furthermore, the study revealed that the latter are less prone to buy an alternative fuel vehicle than higher-income families (59% against 80%). The authors also inferred that generally, households are more receptive to incentives or benefits based on up-front discounts or exemptions, directly impacting price and immediate savings, such as taxes exemption (value added tax and circulation tax), fuel discounts and purchase incentives. However, some differences were observed between income segments. For instance, the reduction or exemption of loan interests is among the most popular incentives for lower revenues, whilst higher revenues favour scrappage and non-financial incentives. Finally, in line with other studies, as upper incomes are less dependent on incentives and benefits to carry out the purchase, the authors put forward a differential and progressive approach for incentive instruments targeting lower revenues, allowing broader and equitable access to low carbon technology.

The aim of this study is to demonstrante Estonian Energy Roadmap 2040 modelling process, taking into account energy consumption in accordance with the expectation and improvement of the living standard. In the frame of this study the evaluation of the possibility for Estonian Energy sector to become carbon neutral by 2040 have been presented. 

The roadmap to climate neutrality models three sectors: electricity, heating / cooling and transport together, aiming at reducing overall energy consumption, sustainability, security of national supply and the implementation of balanced economic principles. Balanced economic principles in this case mean high resource efficiency and reduced ammount of subsidies. Results of modelling show dnergy demand, energy mix and carbon emissions for these sectors in 2030 and 2040 and are compared with these indicators in 2021.The study estimates the amount of investment required to achieve carbon neutrality of Estonian energy sector.

In assessing the future economy, the total environmental impact of activities, the preservation of the well-being of the Estonian population and economic reasonableness are examined in parallel with traditional economic indicators.
High-resolution, spatial thermal energy demand analysis and workflow for a city district
Authors: Edtmayer Hermann , Fochler Lisa-Marie , Mach Thomas , Fauster Jennifer , Schwab Eva , Hochenauer Christoph
Published: July 2023

Knowledge about the demand of renewable thermal energy is essential for the integrated planning of sustainable cities. Planners and decision-makers need high-quality and comprehensive data for rapid and decisive action. However, little to no corresponding information is available for the status quo or possible development scenarios. Thus, new methods for urban building energy modelling and simulation with high resolution and accuracy are needed. In this paper, we present the research we conducted on the thermal energy demand of a city district in Graz, Austria. We developed a novel bottom-up, white box, multi-tool workflow for performing large-scale and high-resolution modelling, simulation and analysis of urban buildings in different development scenarios. We calculated the demand for heating, cooling and hot water in full-year dynamic building simulations and assessed the results quantitatively and spatially. Our results in the Scenario 2050 show that despite massive densification of the building stock by 88%, the calculated heat energy demand rises only by 4%; while the cooling demand soars by 432%. All results are available as hourly mean values and annual totals and in easy-to-understand spatial map representations, thus supporting stakeholders to meet the net-zero CO2-equivalent emission targets of Graz.

Introduction:

Disparities exist and affect outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate the association between race, ethnicity, and insurance type on the incidence of ACL reconstruction in the United States.

Methods:

The Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project database was used to determine demographics and insurance types for those undergoing elective ACL reconstruction from 2016 to 2017. The US Census Bureau was used to obtain demographic and insurance data for the general population.

Results:

Non-White patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with commercial insurance were more likely to be younger, male, less burdened with comorbidities including diabetes, and less likely to smoke. When we compared Medicaid patients who had undergone ACL reconstruction with all Medicaid recipients, there was an under-representation of Black patients and a similar percentage of White patients undergoing ACL reconstruction (P< 0.001).

Discussion:

This study suggests ongoing healthcare disparities with lower rates of ACL reconstruction for non-White patients and those with public insurance. Equal proportions of patients identifying as Black undergoing ACL reconstruction as compared with the underlying general population suggests a possible narrowing in disparities. More data are needed at numerous points of care between injury, surgery, and recovery to identify and address disparities.

Published: July 2023

En esta investigación se analiza la relación entre satisfacción laboral y compromiso institucional desde una perspectiva descriptva. Se procedió a la revisión bibliográfica de los artículos de diversos autores conocedores sobre el tema  accediendo a ellos por medio de Google Académico y por el portal Cicco de Conacyt Paraguay, relizando la busqueda utilizandose las palabras clave: satisfacción laboral y compromiso institucional. Se procedió a revisar de fuentes  bibliografías de los años 2006 al 2010, posteriormente se dío enfasis en la busqueda de materiales de los años 2014 hasta 2020. Para el mejor ordenamiento de las informaciones se elaboraron fichas bibliográficas, en las mismas se asentaron datos de los materiales, año, título y objetivo del trabajo; de las informaciones recabadas posteriormente se identificaron las que estaban relacionadas con el objetivo de esta investigación. Lo que permitio concluir  que efectivamente existe una relación estrecha entre la satisfacción laboral y el comportamiento que una persona adopte hacia la institución; sin embargo esto es algo más profundo,  ya que existe una variable actitudinal, relacionado al bienestar psicológico y satisfacción con la vida de esa persona en particular.

Ten years have passed since the implementation of Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE) in the Philippines, in line with the K to 12 Curriculum. It was expected to be implemented in all public schools, particularly for students from Kindergarten to Grade 3. This program has been a significant change in the education system and in the study of the Filipino language in the country. It is a response to strengthening regional languages and addressing the decline of certain existing languages in the country. However, over time, the implementation of MTB-MLE remains a challenge for schools. The unforeseen crisis that has reshaped the world has also become an obstacle. In this context, the aim of this study is to identify and analyze the various issues and concerns of parents and teachers in teaching Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education during the pandemic in the town of Talugtug. Using Husserlian Descriptive Phenomenology as the research design, focus group discussions (FGDs) were conducted to gather data, and Colaizzi’s seven steps of data analysis were employed for data analysis. The study revealed that there are issues, concerns, and challenges experienced by teachers and parents in teaching and implementing MTB-MLE. The identified issues, concerns, and challenges include the lack of instructional materials, transliteration, vocabulary, inadequate teacher training, and a shortage of guidebooks. It was also discovered that MTB-MLE significantly contributes to the academic development of students and is crucial because students better understand the lessons being taught. However, parents were not adequately prepared to teach these lessons. Based on the study’s data, an action plan was developed as a guide to provide solutions to the issues and concerns of teachers and parents in teaching MTB-MLE.

Effect of laser radiation on the growth of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa isolated from rumen fluid of cows in the Nineveh, Iraq
Authors: Abedi Hawraa , Kasha Mumtaz , Zaker Karrar , Alrubayae Inaam
Published: July 2023

Background:
The fungi Rhodotorula species are widespread airborne contaminants and are thought to be natural occupants of human skin, lungs, urine, and feces. Rhodotorula mucilaginosa, R. minuta, and R. glutinis are the three most prevalent species.
Aim:
The purpose of this study is to isolate Rhodotorula mucilaginosa from cow rumen fluid in the province of Mosul, as well as to determine how laser light irradiation affects the growth and morphological traits of this organism.
Methods:
From the fluid rumen of AL-restaki and AL-karadi cows, the Rhodotorula mucilaginosa was isolated. Using a traditional approach and the ID-Yst card system Vitek 2, isolated colonies were purified, recognized, and described. A semiconductor laser system with a power of 50 mW and a wavelength of 450 nm was used in the experiment to evaluate the light laser irradiation effects on the direct culture growth of Rhodotorula mucilaginosa under two light irradiation conditions of 30 and 60 minutes.
Results:
According to traditional methods and the ID-Yst card system Vitek 2, Rhodotorula mucilaginosa predominated 7/30 (23.3%), and these strains effectively thrived on medium containing dextrose agar as evidenced by the carotenoid pigments that gave their colonies a salmon-pink to coral-red hue. When compared to a control group where no laser was used, the impact of light laser irradiation was assessed 24 hours after the irradiation using a biomass (dry weight measuring yeast cell content in suspension) and microscopic analysis using Gram stain. The irregular shape of the cells and their link to one another were shown by macroscopic and microscopic examinations. The irradiated culture subculture on sabouraued dextrose agar and incubation at 37 C for 3 days demonstrated inhibited growth in 4/7 (57.1%) isolates. Also, there was no discernible difference between the control group and the Rhodotorula mucilaginosa biomass concentration under light irradiation circumstances (30 and 60 min).
Conclusion:
This was the first study identifying Rhodotorula mucilaginosa in Iraqi cow rumen fluid.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a prevalent malignancy affecting men worldwide. Animal models play crucial role in studying PCa pathology and discover novel approaches to prevent, detect and treat this disease. However, the challenge of translational medicine is the limited reproducibility and inadequate recapitulation of human conditions in animal models. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of prostate gland among distinct animal species is essential for better translating research findings to clinical practice. This review aims to compare and describe the macroscopic and microscopic anatomy of the prostate gland in humans, rats, and dogs, emphasizing the relevant features. Despite the anatomical differences between these species, rats are a valuable model to study human prostate diseases, once they share some features implicated in carcinogenesis in humans. Dogs, on the other hand, are considered the best model for studying prostate cancer due to the development of spontaneous cancer with a higher incidence when compared with other animals and the development of bone metastases. Moreover, the lymphatic system and the sentinel lymph node role and mapping are similar in dogs and humans. However, it is important to recognize that no animal model can directly mimic all aspects of prostate cancer as the human prostate is anatomically different from that of rats and dogs. Therefore, it is essential to analyse and understand the intra- and interspecies variability when translating research findings into clinical practice. This review highlights the importance of a thorough understanding of the anatomical differences between the prostate gland in humans, rats, and dogs when selecting the appropriate animal model for studying prostate cancer.

Aim:The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effectiveness of compressive sutures for rapid resolution ofacute hydrops in keratoconus cases. Case reports:Two young adult patients having keratoconus presented with sudden painful marked dimness ofvision associated with watering and photophobia in their left eyes for about 2 weeks. Visual acuity was countingfinger-to-hand movement. The examination showed a markedly opaque edematous cornea without any visibilityof the pupil, lens, and posterior segment. Patients were diagnosed with acute hydrops. Patients underwent full-thickness corneal compressing sutures under peribulbar anesthesia. Patients were post-operatively treated withtopical corticosteroid, antibiotic, cycloplegic, and hypertonic saline. On days 48 and 32, respectively, the totalresolution of corneal edema with the central scar was seen in both of the patients. Vision improved to 3/60 and6/60, respectively, and symptoms decreased. Both patients were advised for penetrating keratoplasty for furtherimprovement of vision. Conclusion:Full-thickness corneal compressive sutures quickly resolve acute hydrops of keratoconus.
Primjena linearne korelacije pri izboru metoda mjerenja taksacionih veličina
Authors: Stojanović Ostoja
Published: July 2023

Za mjerenje ili odredjivanje taksacionih veličina bilo stabla bilo sastojine ili većeg šumskog kompleksa, po pravilu, postoji niz metoda nejednake točnosti i primjenljivosti (upotrebljivosti). Razloge za ovakvu situaciju treba tražiti u samoj prirodi osobinama oblika stabla i njegovih dijelova (nepravilnost oblika i znatne dimenzije), odnosno u činjenici da su sastojine šumskog drveća masovne pojave (statistički skupovi) sa izuzetno komplikovanim karakteristikama (znatno izraženog varijabiliteta konstituirajućih elemenata). Na toj činjeničnoj osnovi, brojnosti i šarolikosti metoda mjerenja i odredjivanja taksacionih veličina, znatan doprinos dali su i brojni stručni radnici u relativno dugoj istoriji taksacije kao prakse i nauke. Taksatori u praksi i istraživači u svom radu se zbog toga svakodnevno susreću s problemom izbora najpodesnijeg metoda mjerenja ili odredjivanja taksacionih veličina.
