Authors: Ma Ana Rushiti
Published: May 2022

Arbitration is a new form of dispute resolution in the commercial field in Albania. Economic development has led many international companies to invest in Albania. This topic will focus on the concept of arbitration as the public interest in recognizing this new form of dispute resolution is broad, but what never changes is the argument as to why we turned to arbitration. The parties set the arbitral tribunal in motion and as such have the burden of proof to prove that their claims are based on facts and evidence. Of particular importance in this paper will be the advantages and disadvantages of arbitration as a way of resolving disputes. Another special aspect where we need to dwell will be the contribution of national courts in resolving arbitration disputes. This paper will deal extensively with the place it occupies in Albanian legislation. An important place of this paper will be the analysis of practical cases as a way of combining theory and practice. It would be of particular interest to make comparisons between Albanian legislation and Austria, Argentina, Armenia and Bulgaria. The reason for this comparison is to bring about a radical change in the resolution of trade disputes through arbitration. An important place of this paper will be the analysis of practical cases as a way of intertwining theory and practice. It would be of particular interest to make comparisons between Albanian legislation and Austria, Argentina, Armenia and Bulgaria. The reason for this comparison is to bring about a radical change in the resolution of trade disputes through arbitration.

Indian study on probability attributed to COVID-19 coronavirus infection using machine learning algorithm
Authors: Soni Vivek Kumar
Published: May 2022

As a result of the SARS-CoV-2 (severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2) outbreak, the present COVID-19 public health crisis has resulted in the loss of human life as well as significant economic disruptions. Using a machine-learning algorithm, we can determine if a patient is more likely to survive than die, or the other way around, for a particular case. We use previous data, such as medical records, demographics, and information specific to the COVID-19, to fine-tune this algorithm. Data on confirmed and probable COVID-19 infections in India, which the Indian Government has collated and made publicly accessible, is used in this report. We show that the suggested technique can predict high-risk patients with high accuracy in each of the four indicated clinical phases, hence enhancing hospital capacity planning and prompt treatment. Our approach may be expanded to produce optimum estimations for hypothesis-testing procedures that are extensively used in biological and medical statistics. With the present epidemic, we hope that the information we've gathered may help doctors make better, more timely decisions about patient treatment.

The estimation of radiological properties of activated structural components of a nuclear reactor due to irradiation of neutron produced by fission is a very important task for radiation safety and reasonable cost of dismantling and radioactive waste management in the decommissioning plan of the reactor. In this work, the calculation approach was carried out by using three-dimensional neutron transport model with the Monte Carlo code MCNP5 to evaluate neutron fluxes and reaction rates. The Bateman equation was solved with neutron absorption reactions (fission and capture) and disintegration by ORIGEN2 code to obtain the activity of materials in reactor structures. This paper presents the evaluation results of the neutron flux distribution and the radioactivity of long-lived key activation products such as 60Co, 55Fe, 59Ni, 63Ni, etc. isotopes in the structural components of the Dalat Nuclear Research Reactor (DNRR). The validation of calculation methodology of the two codes was implemented by comparing calculation results with measured neutron fluxes at irradiation positions in the reactor core as well as specific activities at the bottom part of the aluminum guiding tube at 13-2 channel, which has been removed from the reactor core about six years. The calculation results were in good agreement under 7% difference with the experimental neutron flux value of (6.05±0.52) × 1012 n/cm2.s, and under 33% difference with the experimental specific activities of 60Co isotope being 1.86×104, 9.99×104, and 1.28×105 Bq/g at the positions of -32.5, -17.5 and -2.1 cm (the centerline of the reactor core is at 0 cm), respectively, in the aluminum guiding tube of irradiation channel 13-2. The neutron flux distributions in other structural components such as the graphite reflector, thermal column, thermalizing column, concrete shielding, etc. of the reactor were also evaluated. The obtained calculation results and experimental data are very valuable for the development of a suitable decommissioning plan and a reasonable dismantling strategy for the DNRR.

Published: May 2022

En el presente artículo analizamos las medidas aplicadas por los países con economías de libre mercado para superar las consecuencias económicas de la Covid 19, y en particular el análisis de los Fondos Next Generation de la Unión Europea UE. La propuesta de la UE para superar las consecuencias de la Covid 19 ha sido una dotación económica extraordinaria de €750.000 millones de euros en el trienio 2021-2023, denominada Fondos Next Generation. Estos Fondos Next Generation apuestan por el gasto público para conseguir la recuperación económica, siguiendo las teorías formuladas por Keynes hace unos noventa años. No obstante los Next Generation son una apuesta condicionada a unas líneas básicas como son la transición ecológica, la transición digital, la equidad y la búsqueda de la cohesión europea; no se trata simplemente de inyectar dinero fiduciario, sino que esta dotación valga para avanzar hacia los objetivos sociales marcados por la propia UE en la Estrategia Anual de Crecimiento Sostenible 2021.

Authors: Osorto Henry
Published: May 2022

Introducción. Honduras tiene un alto nivel de violencia en Latinoamérica. Este estudio analizó las incidencias delictivas y de actuación policial a nivel municipal en Honduras de 2013 a 2020. Métodos. Se utilizaron datos del Sistema Estadístico Policial en Línea de los 298 municipios en un periodo de 8 años y se hizo análisis geoespacial, de correlación, de componentes principales (PCA, siglas en inglés) y factorial (AF). Resultados. El Distrito Central y San Pedro Sula son los municipios con mayor número de incidencias. La tendencia en el período fue a disminución de denuncias por abortos, homicidios, lesiones con arma blanca o de fuego, muertes indeterminadas, policías muertos, raptos, secuestros, violaciones y tentativas. Las incidencias que aumentaron fueron los accidentes de tránsito y sus lesiones o muertes, lesiones con arma contundente, manifestaciones pacíficas o violentas, muertes accidentales, muertes por suspensión, policías lesionados y los suicidios. Hubo niveles de correlación significativos entre las diferentes incidencias, e.g., muertes accidentales, por accidente de tránsito, indeterminadas y los abortos, así como la capacidad de los PCA aplicados para reducir dimensiones pasado de 20 incidencias a tan solo 2, 3 o 4 componentes. Conclusión. Las correlaciones mostraron grupos de incidencias policiales concentradas en las zonas urbanas del país. Se observó un comportamiento multidimensional de las variables, cuya atención contribuiría a la paz y seguridad poblacional a través de medidas preventivas y correctivas.

Published: May 2022

Introducción. Un proyecto constructivo contiene diversos procesos que indican la legalidad y el desarrollo seguro de la obra. Este estudio evaluó el conocimiento de la documentación permisiva, e.g., permisos de construcción y licenciamientos ambientales del sector de la construcción en una ciudad urbana en Honduras. Métodos. Se utilizó una muestra no probabilística, se aplicó una encuesta sobre conocimiento de permisos de construcción y licenciamiento ambiental de proyectos urbanísticos, así como de impactos ambientales, sus dimensiones y la relevancia de investigación. Los participantes fueron 60 profesionales de la construcción y del ambiente. Además, se realizó dos entrevistas a profesionales de la construcción sobre la importancia de la documentación permisiva en su sector. Resultados. El 81.7% de entrevistados nunca ha tramitado un permiso de construcción, el 12.2% no tuvo conocimiento del proceso y el 6.1% lo consideró complicado. Asimismo, el 91.7% nunca ha realizado un licenciamiento ambiental, el 14.6% no tuvo conocimiento del proceso y el 5.5% lo consideró complicado. Conclusión. Hubo altos porcentajes de desconocimiento de los procesos necesarios para la obtención de permisos de construcción y licenciamientos ambientales en el sector de la construcción en una ciudad urbana de Honduras. Esto puede explicarse porque dichos trámites no forman parte de las responsabilidades diarias de los profesionales; quienes no poseen conocimiento del proceso o lo consideran complejo.

ON PATIENT SAFETY: IMPLEMENTATION OF THE M. ROBSON CLASSIFICATION AS A POSSIBILITY TO CONTROL THE FREQUENCY OF CESAREAN SECTION
Authors: Manasova G. S. , Shpak I. V. , Zhovtenko O. V.
Published: May 2022

Purpose. Delivery by caesarean section (CS) is now becoming an “epidemic” — in some countries it reaches 50% or more; often the operation is carried out at the request or the slightest doubt of the woman. An increase in CS frequency is not always accompanied by a predicted improvement in perinatal mortality.
Objective: To develop a strategy for women to gain a positive pregnancy experience based on the analysis of the frequency of caesarean section in the database of a linear maternity hospital using the Robson classification.
Materials and methods. Retrospective analysis of childbirth histories of an urban maternity hospital with a specialization in preterm birth management in 2015–2019.
Research results. When analyzing 10,345 births, it was found that 3598 or 34.78% of women were delivered by CS surgery. The frequency of CS in group 1 averages (15.71±2.34)% (12.93–20.03)%. Most often, primary CS is performed in the 2nd (84.45±1.62)%, 4th (68.97±4.93)% and 6th (97.08±1.7)% groups, and these groups are subsequently the largest in terms of repeated CS. Traditionally, a high frequency of CS is noted in the 7th (96.69±2.05)%, 8th (86.66±7.02)% and 10 groups (40.02±5.14)%. The most common indications for primary CS were fetal distress, breech presentation, multiple pregnancies, obstructive labor, and extragenital indications. It is necessary to note the socio-ethical indications as an urgent requirement of the patient.
Conclusions. The use of Robson’s classification made it possible to determine the main directions for improving the organization of medical care for women in labor in order to ensure safe childbirth: the development of uniform standards and their active implementation in the group of pregnant women in need of pre-induction and induction of labor, training and active use of simulation methods of training medical personnel in the management of childbirth. in breech presentation and multiple pregnancies, prevention of premature birth, psychoprophylactic work with women and family members.
Key words: cesarean section, Robson’s classification.
Functional Outcome and Pain Relief After Pulsed Radiofrequency of Saphenous Nerve in Medial Compartment Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomised Double-Blind Trial
Authors: Ashok Jadon
Published: May 2022

Background and aims: Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) of saphenous nerve (SN) has shown effective pain relief in knee pain due to knee osteoarthritis (KOA). Since adductor canal (AC) contains other sensory nerves innervating the medial part of knee joint apart from SN. We compared the PRF of SN within and outside the AC for their quality and duration of pain relief in knee osteoarthritis of medial compartment (KOA-MC). Methods: We conducted a randomised prospective study in 60 patients with anteromedial knee pain due to KOA-MC. Patients in group A received PRF-SN and those in group B, PRF-AC. Primary objectives were, comparison of pain by visual analogue scale (VAS) score and changes in quality of daily living by Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) and OXFORD knee scores (OKS). Secondary objectives were, comparison of analgesic requirements using Medicine Quantification Scale (MQS) scale and block related complications. Intra group comparison was done by Analysis of variance (ANOVA). Inter group normally distributed data was assessed by student's t-test, non-normally distributed and ordinal data by Mann-Whitney U-test and categorical data by Chi-square test. A p value of < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: VAS scores were significantly lower in Gr-B at 12 weeks. The WOMAC scores and OXFORD scores at 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks were significantly lower in Gr-B compared to Gr-A. Conclusion: The PRF-AC provides better pain relief and functional outcome than PRF-SN however, duration of pain relief was not significantly different.

Currently, food with low levels of pesticides, sustainable agricultural practices and increased crop productivity have gained prominence worldwide. Rhizobacterial inoculants are an alternative to manage large crops that favors sustainable plant growth. Thereby, this study aimed to assess the effect of increasing doses of inoculant based on the rhizobacterium Bacillus subtilis Bs10 compared to the commercial product based on B. subtilis on the development of soybean culture. Two experiments were carried out with two soybean cultivars, M8210 IPRO and M8615 IPRO, assessed at the vegetative and reproductive stages. Doses of B. subtilis Bs10 with 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 mL per 50 kg seeds were inoculated in each experiment, as well as an additional treatment with commercial product based on B. subtilis. Biomass, nodulation, plant height, internodes, number of pods and number of grains of soybean cultivars were assessed. The inoculation of B. subtilis Bs10 significantly (p < 0.05) improved the agronomic characteristics of both soybean cultivars with an increase in shoot and root biomass, nodulation, phosphorus content, and accumulation of nitrogen in the aerial part. The doses of B. subtilis Bs10 between 200 and 350 mL had significant prominence in increasing the variables studied herein.
Знак или форма? Имплицитное усвоение пространственной закономерности при сравнении величин чисел и фигур
Authors: Деева Татьяна , Козлов Дмитрий
Published: May 2022

Мы можем выделять и усваивать пространственные закономерности расположения предметов в окружающей среде. Иногда это происходит неосознанно в процессе решения каких-либо задач, не связанных с этими закономерностями, и может влиять на наши последующие действия. Однако пространственные закономерности усваиваются не всегда, и остается неясным, какие условия являются определяющими для их имплицитного усвоения. Может ли пространственная закономерность усваиваться без двигательной активности? В какой степени усвоение пространственной закономерности основывается на перцептивных особенностях воспринимаемых стимулов? Настоящее исследование связано с поиском ответов на эти вопросы. В двух экспериментах испытуемым было предложено решить ряд простых заданий, в каждом из которых пространственная организация стимульного материала удовлетворяла одному и тому же правилу. В первом эксперименте задача была связана с поиском фигуры нужной величины, а во втором – с поиском нужного числа. Таким образом, в первом исследовании усваиваемая закономерность оказывалась связанной с перцептивными особенностями стимульного материала, а во втором – нет. Запланированный анализ не выявил эффекта научения ни в плане изменения времени решения, ни при решении задачи классификации ни в одном из экспериментов. Неоднородность решаемых задач послужила основанием для проведения эксплораторного анализа. Дополнительный анализ был проведен с разделением задач на «простые» и «сложные». Его результаты показали возможность имплицитного научения только для «сложных» задач. Эффект имплицитного научения проявился в изменении времени решения, но не был зафиксирован при решении задачи классификации. Для задач, связанных с перцептивными особенностями стимула в первом эксперименте были обнаружены свидетельства в пользу как положительного, так и отрицательного эффекта научения. Для задач, связанных с семантическим значением стимула во втором эксперименте, свидетельств в пользу положительного эффекта научения обнаружено не было. Полученные результаты сопоставляются с работами в экспериментальной парадигме имплицитного усвоения контекстной подсказки.

This ethnoclimatological study explored the culture-based knowledge of fisherfolks in predicting weather conditions using nature signs and indicators, the practices upon their prognoses, and the natural phenomenon they encountered. Thirty fisherfolks from Gigantes Island, Carles, Iloilo, Philippines (11° 35′ 39′′ N, 123° 20′ 11′′ E) participated in the interview, observation, and focus group discussion. Themes were identified using Creswell’s (2012) steps for data analysis and were triangulated. Results revealed that fisherfolks use wind, clouds, mountains’ appearance, the scent of mud, and burned cogon grass to determine weather conditions. They believed that fishing is relative to weather. While venturing the sea, they encountered natural phenomena such as Pugada and typhoons, which put their lives and properties in danger. Hence, fishing in safe settings is dependent on the state of nature, which requires fundamental knowledge and practices. Thus, government and non-government organizations may uncover indigenous knowledge and practices in weather forecasting, evaluate their efficacy, and integrate them into natural disaster management systems to create a holistic program that addresses the long-term future of the fisherfolks.

This study aims to examine the impact of artificial intelligence on the effective applying of cyber governance in Jordanian commercial banks. The objectives are divided into identifying the impact of expert systems on cyber governance in Jordanian commercial banks, identifying the impact of neural networks on cyber governance in Jordanian commercial banks, identifying the impact of genetic algorithms on cyber governance in Jordanian commercial banks, and identifying the impact of smart agents on governance cyber ​​in Jordanian commercial banks, The current study population includes (13) Jordanian commercial banks listed on the Amman Stock Exchange and the study sample includes all employees in the accounting departments, internal auditors, and programmers. The researchers distributed (208) questionnaires to the study sample members electronically, at a rate of (16) questionnaires in each bank and retrieved them in the same way. Then, 208 questionnaires were retrieved, including (7) questionnaires that are not valid for analysis, due to following the pattern method in answering all paragraphs, so that the researcher has (201) questionnaires valid for statistical analysis, This indicates the interdependence between artificial intelligence techniques and applications (expert systems, neural networks, genetic algorithms, and smart agents) on the effective application of cyber governance in Jordanian commercial banks, as these technologies and applications contribute to enhancing the effectiveness of cyber governance. Thus, it is necessary for commercial banks in Jordan to rely more on advanced systems, so that banks can use modern computer equipment and software, and thus increase the dependence of these banks on the effective application of cyber governance to follow up the progress of business and tasks in accordance with its strategies.

The reasons for the corrosiveness of cement slurries under hydrogen sulfide aggression used in cementing casing and production strings are investigated. An inhibitory composition against the aggressiveness of cement slurries was developed. By the method of gravimetric testing in laboratory conditions in the temperature range of 70-1000C have been investigated the inhibitory properties of the developed inhibitor. Tests have shown that a synthesized corrosion inhibitor can effectively control carbon steel corrosion under the studied conditions.

We report three new taxa of bats from the late early Eocene to earliest middle Eocene (Bridgerian biochrons Br1b–Br2; ca. 50–48 Ma) Elderberry Canyon Quarry, Sheep Pass Formation, in the Egan Mountain Range of eastern Nevada, USA. Volactrix simmonsae gen. et sp. nov., represented by two dentaries, is tentatively referred to the family ?Onychonycteridae and exhibits a p3 that is much smaller than the p2, a semimolariform p4, and lower molars with a postcristid configuration intermediate between necromantodonty and nyctalodonty. The genus Palaeochiropteryx, a palaeochiropterygid otherwise known from the early and middle Eocene of Europe, is the first representative of its genus and of the family Palaeochiropterygidae outside Eurasia and the Indo-Pakistan subcontinent. Palaeochiropteryx is represented at the site by a partial skeleton with a crushed skull and two left dentaries (one unexposed within the same limestone block but revealed by micro-computed tomography scanning) and is formally named Palaeochiropteryx sambuceus sp. nov. A third taxon, Sonor handae gen. et sp. nov., is a probable vespertilionid, evidenced by a dentary fragment with double-rooted p3 and myotodont lower molar morphology, and provides the earliest occurrence of the family Vespertilionidae in the Western Hemisphere. Despite the small number of specimens, these three new taxa comprise the most diverse Eocene assemblage of bats yet found in a single quarry in the Western Hemisphere.

Interpretation is a demanding skill, especially for specific fields in business such as marketing, accounting, trading, etc. Students majoring in Business English Language at Van Lang University reported that they are faced with the dilemma of choosing the right definition for a keyword. This has prevented them from understanding and analyzing the message before rendering it into the target language. To remedy the problem, vocabulary quizzes were administered on the university's Learning Management System (LMS) platform. The focus is on enhancing vocabulary retention. The course followed the Tase-Based Language Teaching (TBLT) framework to maximize the comprehension of the context of the vocabulary and the students. Code-mixing was used to design vocabulary quizzes. The study is a quantitative experiment with the aim of finding a correlation between the use of TBLT and the improvement of students in their vocabulary retention. The results indicate that there is a direct and positive connection between them.
Advantageous selection without moral hazard

Advantageous (or propitious) selection occurs when an increase in the premium of an insurance contract induces high-cost agents to quit, thereby reducing the average cost among remaining buyers. Hemenway (1990) and many subsequent contributions motivate its advent by differences in risk-aversion among agents, implying different prevention efforts. We argue that it may also appear in the absence of moral hazard, when agents only differ in riskiness and not in (risk) preferences. We first show that profit-maximization implies that advantageous selection is more likely when markup rates and the elasticity of insurance demand are high. We then move to standard settings satisfying the single-crossing property and show that advantageous selection may occur when several contracts are offered, when agents also face a non-insurable background risk, or when agents face two mutually exclusive risks that are bundled together in a single insurance contract. We exemplify this last case with life care annuities, a product which bundles long-term care insurance and annuities, and we use Canadian survey data to provide an example of a contract facing advantageous selection.

Equilibrium in nature is a dynamic, relative and variable phenomenon. There is no life without it. Natural ecosystems must have a diverse structure. The canopy of a forest is important for maintaining the microclimate of the landscape. Deforestation reduces evapotranspiration. Soil is at risk of death due to erosion. With proper management, the soil can be productive for a long time.
