É de sabedoria popular que atribuir nomes religiosos aos filhos pode significar devoção a um santo, personagem bíblico ou crença religiosa particular de uma determinada comunidade. No entanto, ao saber de fato as reais motivações para um determinado antropônimo, a partir de entrevistas com pais ou os próprios portadores do nome próprio, observa-se que nomes religiosos podem evidenciar questões além da simples devoção. Nessa direção, o objetivo deste artigo é analisar, a partir dos estudos da Socioantroponomástica, quais fatores influenciam na prática de nomear um filho com o modelo de atribuição tradicional denominado como a religião (JIMÉNEZ SEGURA, 2014). Para tanto, a pesquisa se utiliza de um corpus formado por 250 nomes justapostos coletados a partir de entrevistas semiestruturadas, em um espaço de tempo que abrange 1930-1940 a 2010, na cidade de Marechal Cândido Rondon, Brasil. A pesquisa aponta que atribuir nomes religiosos pode fazer parte de um ideário de uma determinada comunidade, bem como a nomeação de um filho, através de um nome bíblico, pode evidenciar questões identitárias além do significado restrito do nome (SEIDE, 2016).Religious trends in the anthroponomy of Marechal Cândido Rondon cityAbstract:It is popular wisdom that giving religious names to children can mean devotion to a saint, a biblical character, or a particular religious belief in a particular community.

Eventos históricos e os impactos antroponímicos: a influência da Era da hortelã na antroponímia de Palotina – PR
Authors: Vescovi Jéssica Paula
Published: January 2021

A antroponímia pode revelar importantes dados sobre a história de um local e ser influenciada por momentos históricos. No munícipio de Palotina, região oeste do Paraná, houve, na década de 1970, um movimento migratório, nomeado Era da Hortelã, o qual contribuiu significativamente para a consolidação da antroponímia local. Até então, a região era colonizada por sulistas, imigrantes oriundos da região sul do país, mas, com a produção da menta, houve a imigração de pessoas que eram oriundos de outras regiões do Brasil que a não a região sul para o trabalho no cultivo da erva. Levanta-se, então, a seguinte questão: há mudança no sistema antroponímico decorrente deste movimento migratório? Com o referido questionamento e tomando por base os estudos de Vescovi (2015; 2016), intenta-se apresentar informações relativas aos sobrenomes e aos prenomes existentes no local antes e depois deste momento, considerando os estudos de Seide (2013a, 2013b, 2013c) sobre prenomes tradicionais e modismos. A análise feita demonstra que a história de uma comunidade pode ser comprovada por meio dos dados antroponímicos, pois foi possível correlacionar as mudanças antroponímicas, tanto em âmbito etimológico quanto em surgimento de outros prenomes não presentes até então, com as informações sobre a história do município.Palavras-chave: Onomástica; Antroponomástica Histórica; Era da Hortelã  Abstract Anthroponomy can reveal important data about the history of a place and be influenced by historical moments. In the city of Palotina, in the western region of Paraná, there was, in the 1970s, a migratory movement, named Era da Hortelã, which contributed significantly to the consolidation of local anthroponomy. Until then, the region was colonized by southerners, immigrants from the southern region of the country, but with the production of mint, there was an immigration of people who were from other regions of Brazil other than the southern region to work in cultivation of the herb. The question then arises: is there a change in the anthroponomical system resulting from this migratory movement? With this question and based on the studies of Vescovi (2015; 2016), it is intended to present information regarding the surnames and first names existing in the place before and after this moment, considering the studies by Seide (2013a, 2013b, 2013c) about traditional first names and fads. The analysis made shows that the history of a community can be verified through anthroponomical data, since it was possible to correlate anthroponomical changes, both in etymological scope and in the appearance of other first names not present until then, with information about the history of the city.Keywords: Onomastic; Historical Anthroponomics; Era da Hortelã

Cancer Trends in Iraq 2000–2016
Authors: Hussain Ashraf MA. , Lafta Riyadh K.
Published: January 2021

Objectives: Precise and quantitative assessment of the trend of cancer burden enables policymakers and health managers to prioritize diseases and allocate resources better. This infers what caused a decrease or increase in the rate of cancer occurrence, and if it denotes timing of implementation of a control measure, it presents the impact on the disease rate. This study’s objective was to evaluate trends in child and adult cancer in Iraq from 2000 onwards. Methods: We used the registries of the Iraqi Ministry of Health that were gathered from all governorates from 2000–2016. Data were presented as incidence rates to depict the trends of different types of cancers distributed by age, gender, and governorates. Results: Breast cancer witnessed a significant increase with predominance in females. Lung cancer rate increased significantly from 4.08 to 5.60/100 000 (p = 0.038), affecting males more than females. The brain cancer trend showed a bimodal pattern (two peaks in 2004 and 2011) with no significant trend change (p = 0.788). Both genders were similarly affected. The trend of stomach and colorectal cancer showed an accelerated increase after 2007. Conclusions: Almost all cancers (particularly lung and gastrointestinal) showed constantly raising trends, especially after 2007. Only cervical and laryngeal cancer had a decreasing trend. Most cancers were predominant in males.
Quarterly Projection Model for the National Bank of Rwanda
Authors: Vlcek Jan , Pranovich Mikhail , Hitayezu Patrick , Mwenese Bruno , Nyalihama Christian
Published: January 2021

National Bank of Rwanda (BNR) modernized monetary policy and transited to the price-based policy framework in January 2019. The Forecasting and Policy Analysis System (FPAS) is the cornerstone for the new forward-looking framework, which mobilizes and organizes resources and sets processes for regular forecasting rounds. The core of this system is a structural macroeconomic model for macroeconomic analysis and projections to support the BNR staff’s policy recommendations to the monetary policy committee. This paper documents the quarterly projection model (QPM) at the core of the FPAS at the BNR. The model is an extension of the canonical structure in Berg et al (2006) to reflect specifics of the interest-rate-based policy framework with a managed exchange rate, the effect of agricultural sector and harvests on prices, and the role of fiscal policies and aid flows.

The Chinese economy continues its fast recovery from the health and
economic crisis as a strong containment effort and macroeconomic and financial policy
support have mitigated the crisis impact and helped the economy rebound. However,
growth is still unbalanced as the recovery has relied heavily on public support while
private consumption is lagging. Rising financial vulnerabilities and the increasingly
challenging external environment pose risks to the outlook. Important reforms have
progressed despite the crisis, but unevenly across key areas.

Restoring macroeconomic stability, providing a foundation for sustainable
inclusive growth, and addressing weaknesses in governance remain the main objectives of
this program. While allowing for a slight fiscal loosening to meet humanitarian needs
during the COVID-19 pandemic, tight monetary policy, much improved public financial
management, domestic revenue mobilization, and zero central bank financing have
supported the administration’s efforts to achieve price and exchange rate stability. This has
helped to preserve the purchasing power of the poor who were the most affected by the
high inflation environment at the program’s inception. The authorities consider bringing
the ECF-supported program back on track of utmost importance and are committed to
their development plan, the Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development (PAPD).

The Pro-Poor Agenda for Prosperity and Development 2018 to 2023
(PAPD) is the second in the series of 5-year National Development
Plans (NDP) anticipated under the Liberia Vision 2030 framework.
It follows the Agenda for Transformation 2012-2017 (AfT). It is
informed as well by lessons learned from the implementation of the
Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy 2007 (iPRS) and the Poverty
Reduction Strategy (2008-2011).
The fundamentals underpinning the PAPD are: i) Liberia is rich in
human and natural resources; but ii) is deprived of development
largely because its human capital lacks the knowledge to transform
the natural resources into wealth—whether through farming,
mining, fishing, or other productive ventures that require technology
or financial investments. Consequently, Liberia is relatively rich in
natural capital but relatively poor in relations to its peers in both
human and produced capital. Moreover, because of a legacy of
entrenched inequality in access to development opportunities,
widespread infrastructure deficits and pervasive poverty have
become the binding constraints to future growth and prosperity.

Timely containment, a large monetary stimulus, and targeted fiscal measures
helped save lives and livelihoods during the first COVID-19 wave, but a significant second
wave is still unfolding. The economic and human impact has been sizeable: real GDP is
expected to decline by 3 percent in 2020; unemployment has surged to record levels;
tourism and remittances have declined; and revenues of the central government and of
other public sector entities have dropped, raising public debt to 90 percent of GDP. A new
government and parliament have been ushered in, with welcome continuity in reform
commitment.

Selected Issues
Development of zoophilic interests and behaviors in the example of an adolescent male
Authors: Szymańska-Pytlińska Marta , Beisert Maria , Słopień Agnieszka
Published: January 2021

Background

In the research literature the phenomenon of bestiality is considered as a form of animal abuse or as an expression of love and affection toward animals or even as another sexual orientation.

Participants and procedure

The article elucidates the mechanisms of development and maintenance of paraphilia in an 18-year-old single male. Psychologi-cal evaluation was conducted with both clinical and psychometric measures. The patient’s course of psychosexual development is characterized by two perspectives – his own and that of his mother.

Results

At the time of the assessment, the subject’s primary sexual outlet was masturbation and zoophilic sexual contact with sheep. The deviation developed over ten years prior to the exposure of the patient’s zoophilic interests. The diagnostic process indicated that the subject suffers from significant psychopathology. Following the assessment, the patient was diagnosed with another disor-der of sexual preference (F65.8) based on the ICD-10 criteria. The mechanisms of development and maintenance of his para-philia are discussed with regard to other research.

Conclusions

Patients who have sex with animals, or who fantasize about doing so, often struggle with negative reactions from their therapists (including a lack of knowledge, laughter, and pressure) when they decide to disclose their experiences. The article may be useful to clinicians who encounter this problem in their practice as an example of the functional capturing of this phenomenon.
Timeliness of the developmental tasks in adulthood among children of mothers suffering from schizophrenia
Authors: Cierpiałkowska Lidia , Soroko Emilia , Mielcarek Monika
Published: January 2021

Background

Being raised by a mother suffering from schizophrenia may affect the fulfilment of developmental tasks. The aim of the study was to determine which psychological factors (attachment, emotion regulation) and social factors (parental care and social sup-port) determine the implementation of developmental tasks, taking into account the age of the child at the time that schizophrenia was diagnosed in the mother (before 10 vs. over 10 years of age; B10y vs. O10y).

Participants and procedure

The sample consisted of 47 (34 women) highly functioning adult offspring of mothers suffering from schizophrenia. They re-sponded to self-report measures about their current functioning and gave retrospective information about their childhood.

Results

The results show that the timeliness, inconsistency and excessive demands of the mother are higher in the O10y group than in the B10y group. The lack of awareness of experienced emotions, the need for support, inconsistency in the mother’s parental attitude and diagnosis O10y were predictors of punctuality, while the available instrumental support, the need for support and the inconsistency of the parental style were found to be predictors of the acceleration of developmental tasks.

Conclusions

The results suggest that the group is heterogenous in terms of psychosocial functioning and developmental characteristics, so the type of support should also be diverse.
Assessment of the factorial and criterion validity of the General Charisma Inventory in a Spanish-speaking sample
Authors: Rogoza Radosław , Blasco-Belled Ana , Alsinet Carles , Torrelles-Nadal Cristina , Jordana-Berenguer Norma
Published: January 2021

Background

Charisma can be understood as a personality trait that allows one to influence other people. Research on charisma has predomi-nately focused on leadership, but it can also be successfully studied in the general population. The General Charisma Inventory (GCI) has not yet been analysed in different cultures. The current study represents the first attempt to examine and validate this instrument in a Spanish-speaking population.

Participants and procedure

The GCI was administered in a series of three studies to a large adult community sample (N1 = 756, N2 = 96, N3 = 149). A multigroup confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to verify the structure of the GCI. Factorial and criterion validity was examined in the context of well-being and the Dark Triad traits. Measurement invariance across age and gender of the GCI in a Spanish-speaking sample was also analysed.

Results

The results confirmed the hypothesised two-factorial structure and therefore the Spanish version of the GCI is a structurally valid and reliable measure, and its dimensions relate to different outcomes such as well-being and the Dark Triad.

Conclusions

The Spanish GCI could be used in general research on charisma and applied to a wide range of age groups within the Spanish-speaking context, providing economic screening for research and practice.
Student-athlete migration: a systematic literature review
Authors: Palumbo Federico , Fusco Andrea , Cortis Cristina , Capranica Laura
Published: January 2021

Purpose

The continuous migration of student-athletes to pursue their educational and sport careers (i.e., dual career) urges
the scientific community to investigate this phenomenon. To provide a systematic literature review on migrating studentathletes, this review framed the research questions, identified relevant scientific contributions, assessed the quality of the
studies, summarized evidence, and interpreted the findings.

Methods

A systematic review conducted in accordance with preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and metaanalyses guidelines returned 1208 records from 2007 to 2019. After screening for the set criteria, only 12 papers met the
final inclusion criteria.

Results

Few eligible papers highlight limited interest in dual career athletic migration. Furthermore, a lack of a dual career
friendly environment supporting the combination of educational (university or high school) and high-level sports opportunities in the native country emerged as the main reason for student-athletes migration. In fact, American colleges, offering
optimal opportunities to accomplish education and sport, turned out to be the most represented migration sites, which also
satisfy the student-athletes’ desire to attain high-quality education, their willingness to live in another country and to practise
sports at high levels.

Conclusions

In the context of the pervasive globalization of sport and education, to contribute to the development of the
European dual career sports culture, further research is needed to empirically examine the migration phenomenon of European student-athletes in Member States.
Optimists’ and pessimists’ self-reported mental and global health during the COVID-19 pandemic in Norway
Authors: Schou-Bredal Inger , Grimholt Tine , Bonsaksen Tore , Skogstad Laila , Heir Trond , Ekeberg Øivind
Published: January 2021

Background

The COVID-19 pandemic represents a global health crisis. How well people cope with this situation depends on many factors, including one’s personality, such as dispositional optimism. The aim of the study was to investi-gate: 1) optimists’ and pessimists’ concerns during lockdown, and mental and global health; 2) whether pessi-mists without known risk factors more often than optimists report being at risk for COVID-19.

Participants and procedure

A snowball sampling strategy was used; 4,527 people, 18 years or older, participated in a survey on a variety of mental health conditions and COVID-19 worries. In addition, they completed the Life Orientation Test-Revised (LOT-R). Optimism was defined by LOT-R f ≥ 17.

Results

Fewer optimists than pessimists reported that they were worried about COVID-19, respectively 51.2% vs. 66.8%, p < .001. Among those reporting none of the known somatic risk factors, more pessimists than optimists (14.3% vs. 9.1%, p < .001) considered themselves at risk of a fatal outcome from COVID-19. Significantly fewer optimists reported that they had anxiety (5.1%), depression (3.4%), suicidal ideation (0.7%) and insomnia (19.3%) during the COVID-19 outbreak than pessimists (24.7% anxiety, 18.4% depression, 5.4% suicidal idea-tion, 39.8% insomnia, all p < .001). Optimists reported better global health than pessimists (87.2 vs. 84.6, p < .001).

Conclusions

Optimists were generally less worried about the COVID-19 pandemic than pessimists and reported better men-tal and global health during lockdown. Pessimists more often than optimists reported being at risk for COVID-19 without reporting known risk factors.
How do new mothers perceive screening for perinatal depression?
Authors: Chrzan-Dętkoś Magdalena , Walczak-Kozłowska Tamara Z.
Published: January 2021

Background

Countries recognize the risk of mental health difficulties during the perinatal period and the potential benefits of screening and early detection of depressive symptomatology. This study aimed to analyse mothers’ views on screening for postpartum depression (PPD) in Poland, where a new standard of perinatal care imposed (from January 2019) the obligation to monitor women’ postpartum mental state.

Material and methods

150 women participated in the study. In the first stage, PPD symptoms were assessed with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) among postpartum women during midwives’ home visits. The second stage consisted of a telephone survey with the EPDS and questions exploring mothers’ perception of midwife competencies in screening for PPD.

Results

Most women identified as relatively high midwives’ competencies in communicating information about PPD, interpretation of the EPDS score and their ability to create comfortable conditions of the assessment and further discussion about postpartum mental health changes. Women with an elevated level of PPD symptoms assessed as significantly lower midwives’ competence in this last aspect and those who had a caesarean section tend to assess as lower the usefulness of provided information on care of a newborn.

Conclusions

Midwives should be aware and prepared for a possible critical attitude of patients, which may be a sign of a depression. Otherwise, medical staff may not be willing to interact with a mother and offer her help and support. The ability to create a friendly condition in spite of adversity can contribute to the desire of women to undergo screening, discussion about the result and further treatment.
The Pandemic Management Theory. COVID-19 and biocentric development
Authors: Stueck Marcus
Published: January 2021

Background

The Pandemic Management Theory (PMT) is a psychological theory based on the biocentric health manage-ment approach. It uses the data obtained in the study to describe an external first circle. Six phases of coping with the burden of the lockdown and the further load process of the COVID-19 pandemic are defined, such as the orientation phase with load interpretations, acute and chronic phases of negative load consequences and phases with positive consequences. Furthermore, it describes a phase with a biocentric sustainable change in ethical attitudes to protect life during pandemics.

Participants and procedure

The empirical base for the description of the Theory is a study on the psychological processing of the COVID-19 crisis. A total of 1500 participants from 5 continents took part.

Results

The COVID-19 crisis is an individual and genre-specific identity crisis in which basic ethical attitudes towards life are questioned, where the social distancing and restrictions have a separating, dissociating effect on the integration process with different levels of life. Therefore the inner circle of the model approaches biocentric connections of humans to (1) themselves, (2) to others and (3) to the “complex of living elements”, to nature. Maintaining a connection in these three levels is necessary to sustain a healthy identity during pandemics. The causes and consequences of separations from these levels of life because of biocentric boundaries, which are defined in the model.

Conclusions

To protect the connection of humans to themselves, to others and to the complex of living beings (nature) sup-port options are shown in six biocentric fields of action during and after pandemics: (1) maintaining affective communication, (2) maintenance of lively corporeality, (3) contact with one’s own identity and inner oriented self-reflexion together with others, (4) construction of life sense and expression of life potentials, (5) expansion of consciousness and perception of the wholeness, (6) development of ecological awareness and sustainable biocentric lifestyles and attitudes.
Small hiatal hernia as a risk factor of atrial fibrillation
Authors: Głowacki Jan , Florek Szymon , Suchodolski Alexander , Wasilewski Jarosław
Published: January 2021

Introduction

Hiatal hernia (HH) is considered a risk factor of atrial fibrillation (AF). The aim of this study was to evaluate HH in computed tomography (CT) images in patients awaiting ablation due to atrial fibrillation, and to look for a correlation between HH in patients without AF and with AF.

Material and methods

This study included 441 patients divided in two groups: 207 patients subjected to computed tomography before ablation procedure due to atrial fibrillation and 234 patients as the control group, who underwent CT scans to rule out coronary disease (no AF in history).

Results

Small HH, e.g. under or equal to 2 cm, are associated with a higher risk of AF compared to the control group, which was not observed for bigger HH.

Conclusions

The presence of small HH may be a risk factor of AF.
Imaging of coronavirus disease (COVID-19): a pictorial review
Authors: Jain Ayush , Patankar Soniya , Kale Sunita , Bairy Abhishek
Published: January 2021

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by a highly contagious novel coronavirus, has seen a rapid surge of cases over the past 6 months spreading to more than 215 countries and posing a global threat to mankind. Reverse trans­criptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) from pharyngeal swabs is considered the gold standard for diagnosis of this disease. Portable chest radiography (CXR), point of care ultrasound, and computed tomography (CT) are crucial modalities in diagnosis and follow-up. Portable CXR can help in patients who are clinically unstable, and also to prevent the cumbersome process of steriliastion after every CT scan. However, chest CT is useful as a problem-solving tool, to look for progression and complications associated with the disease. In a few cases, in our experience (as has also been documented by others), RT-PCR was negative in early disease, and CT chest was able to detect the radiologi­cal findings raising suspicion of COVID-19. With this pictorial review, we aim to describe and illustrate the typical, and a few atypical, radiological findings of this disease.
Back to the future: identification and classification of polymyalgia rheumatica and polymyalgia rheumatica-like syndromes following cancer immunotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors
Authors: Manzo Ciro , Isetta Marco
Published: January 2021

Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and PMR-like syndromes are among the most frequent rheumatologic immuno-related adverse events (IRAEs) induced by cancer immunotherapy with “checkpoint inhibitors” (ICIs). Our short communication addresses two key methodological issues laid bare by published literature : 1) how to diagnose PMR and PMR-like syndromes following ICI therapy, 2) how PMR/PMR-like syndromes following ICI therapy are described as adverse drug reactions (ADRs).

Published: January 2021

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by skin and joint involvement. The disease may present with various joint pattern involvement, which sometimes may lead to joint destruction and deformity. Early diagnosis and treatment with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs may prevent joint deformity. Recently there are many new treatment options including biologic drugs. Ustekinumab, an interleukin 12/23 inhibitor, has proven efficacy in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis. Like other biologic drugs (anti-TNF-), there are contradictory data about the safety of ustekinumab and possible relationship with cancer development.

Herein we report the development of chronic lymphocytic leukemia in a patient with PsA treated with ustekinumab.
Social media platforms: a primer for researchers
Authors: Zimba Olena , Gasparyan Armen Yuri
Published: January 2021

Social media platforms play an increasingly important role in research, education, and clinical practice. As an inseparable part of open science, these platforms may increase the visibility of research outputs and facilitate scholarly networking. The editors who ethically moderate Twitter, Facebook, and other popular social media accounts for their journals may engage influential authors in the post-publication communication and expand societal implications of their publications. Several social media aggregators track and generate alternative metrics which can be used by researchers for visualizing trending articles in their fields. More and more publishers showcase their achievements by displaying such metrics along with traditional citations. The Scopus database also tracks both metrics to offer a comprehensive coverage of the indexed articles’ impact.

Understanding the advantages and limitations of various social media channels is essential for actively contributing to the post-publication communication, particularly in research-intensive fields such as rheumatology.
Peer review guidance: a primer for researchers
Authors: Zimba Olena , Gasparyan Armen
Published: January 2021

The peer review process is essential for quality checks and validation of journal submissions. Although it has some limitations, including manipulations and biased and unfair evaluations, there is no other alternative to the system. Several peer review models are now practised, with public review being the most appropriate in view of the open science movement. Constructive reviewer comments are increasingly recognised as scholarly contributions which should meet certain ethics and reporting standards. The Publons platform, which is now part of the Web of Science Group (Clarivate Analytics), credits validated reviewer accomplishments and serves as an instrument for selecting and promoting the best reviewers. All authors with relevant profiles may act as reviewers. Adherence to research reporting standards and access to bibliographic databases are recommended to help reviewers draft evidence-based and detailed comments.

Evaluating results of laparoscopic gastric banding surgery to manage the obesity at Viet Duc University Hospital
Authors: Bùi Thanh Phúc
Published: January 2021

Abstract

Introduction: Obesity is an increasing trends in Vietnam. Laparoscopic gastric band is an option to manage this problem. The aim of study is to evaluate the result of laparoscopic gastric banding for treatment of obesity in Viet Duc University Hospital
Material and Methods: An uncontrolled interventional clinical trial in 71 patients underwent laparoscopic gastric banding from May 2007 to July 2017
Results: 71 patients underwent laparoscopic gastric banding enrolled in this series. Of them, prophylactic antibiotics including cefazolin was in 87.3% and cefuroxime in 12.7%. The successful rate of procedure was 100%. All patients were placed with 4 trocars. 59,2% of patients were fixed with 3 stitches to the front of stomach and 40,8% were fixed by 4 stitches to front of stomach. The postoperative complications for band migration was 1,4%. No deaths neither complications such as perforation of the esophagus and stomach were observed.
Conclusion: The study found that prophylactic antibiotic is necessary, however the dosage is not needed to increase in obesity patients. The intraabdominal pressure is higher than conventional laparoscopic surgery, but it does not affect blood pressure as well as cardiovascular system. 4 trocars placed is good enough. The band needs to be fixed in order to avoid the postoperative migration.

Robot - assisted thoracic surgery using conventional thoracoscopic surgery access
Authors: Vũ Hữu Vinh ,   Đặng Đình Minh Thanh, Nguyễn Viết Đăng Quang, Trương Cao Nguyên
Published: January 2021

Abstract

Introduction: Video-assisted thoracic surgery (VATS) has been widely used and confirmed to be effective and less invasive compared to traditional open surgery. Robotic-assisted thoracic surgery (RATS ) is actually a VATS using a robot controlled by human surgeon. RATS has been applied worldwide, however still less in Vietnam. We have been starting RATS since July 2018, using conventional thoracoscopic access (trocars). Aim of our paper is to report our initial results after 18 months implementing.

Material and Methods: Retrospectively review 116 cases of RATS from July 2018 to January 2020. Trocar were placed according to type of operations: for lobectomy and pathologies of posterior and middle at lateral position with 4 ports, for thymectomy without tumor or with small tumor at lateral position at a 45 degree angle with 4 ports at one chest side or bilateral at subxiphoid approach with 4 ports. Trocars placed follow the endoscopic triangle principle similar to those for VATS

Results: Among of 116 cases were : 57 cases of lobectomy, 9 cases of wedge resection, thymectomy - 19 cases, mediastinal tumor resection - 28 cases, esophagectomy - 1 case, esophageal leiomyoma resection - 1 case, and diaphragmatic plication - 1 case. Good outcomes are 110 cases, no complications, 5 cases with prolong air leak requiring chest tube for over 5 days. One death after 35 days due to pneumonia. The surgery time is similar to VATS. Average chest tube removal was 2 days. Post-operative length stay was equivalent to VATS.

Conclusion: RATS is safe with good results in our series. The transition process from VATS to RATS is safe in the medical facilities with surgeons who have good background in VATS. The conventional trocar placement is suitable for RATSs application.

Arbitration agreement and intercompany disputes
Authors: Vasiljević Mirko
Published: January 2021

The affirmation of resolution through arbitration of commercial disputes in the field of contract law, both at national levels (as an undisputable trend of varying degrees) as well as at the international level, has raised the issue of the possibility of resolving intercompany disputes in this manner, in order to extend the freedom of will of investors from the domain of establishing companies to include the domain of the freedom of choice of a forum for resolving possible disputes arising from numerous legal relations of this kind. However, unlike contracts, with the primacy of free will compared to limitations (the relation of rules and exceptions), the sphere of intercompany relations, although basically contractual by its origin, has, in its functioning, an emphasized need to resolve the conflict of contract and company law in order to make the arbitrability of these disputes realistically possible, while on the other hand, compared to the contract law, the sphere of company law is always more in the focus of attention of national public orders, as a universal institute (regardless of its scope), which represents an obstacle to arbitrability of these disputes. In this paper, the author first analyses the legal nature of the constituent acts of companies (the founding act and statute of a joint stock company) in the context of an arbitration agreement, on which the arbitrability of intercompany disputes can solely be based, finding that their contractual nature is a serious obstacle to mandatory arbitrations of these disputes (if these acts with this clause are adopted by majority of votes), and that the theory of adhesion contracts could be a solution to encourage arbitrability, but only for closed type of companies, while this would not be possible in the case of a public joint stock company, especially in the case of non-professional shareholders because of the need to additionally protect them through consumer law. The author continues by analysing the notion of intercompany disputes and systems of possible objective arbitrability (ratione materiae) of these disputes, finding that the Serbian arbitration law and company law, especially with regard to the possible restrictive concept of „exclusive jurisdiction of commercial courts“ for these disputes, has at least serious reasons for changes in favour of strengthening their arbitrability, with certain necessary individual exclusions in case of the dominance of public order interest. Finally, the author also analyses certain aspects of multiparty nature of the intercompany disputes, especially regarding public joint stock companies, as possible procedural obstacles to their resolution through arbitration, even in cases of their possibly undisputable objective arbitrability.

He concludes the article by contemplating to the reasons of importance of maritime arbitrations for Serbia.
Whether the right of pursuit is constitutional property interest protectible against the state II part
Authors: Tešić Nenad
Published: January 2021

The author, in this paper, is looking for Ariadne’s thread, which would help us to find the way through the legal labyrinth composed of justified reaction of the state in the war against organized crime, from one side and what is considered an appropriate protection of secured creditor’s subjective rights, from the other side. He points out that in resolving a dilemma, does the mortgagee have the right to enforce its debt against the Republic of Serbia (right of pursuit), in case if the extended confiscation of property (proceeds of crime) includes subject-matter of mortgage, the court should take into account does the mortgagee know or should know about criminal origins of encumbered assets. The court should evaluate a good faith of the mortgagee, bearing in mind all the circumstances of the case, especially: 1) The moment of a mortgage establishment, i.e. whether the registration of mortgage is prior in time to the initiation of a property freezing procedure; 2) Overall business and other relations between mortgagee and mortgagor, i.e. are these parties associated in any other way? 3) Objective changes in the economic position of mortgagee and mortgagor, i.e.is the security agreement true or simulated, in particular, whether the value of the secured claim actually enhanced the property of the mortgagor and at what consideration.

Authors: Cucić Vuk
Published: January 2021

General Administrative Procedure Act was enacted in 2016 and started to be applied as of June 1, 2017. The new law brought important novelties and significantly altered the concept of its predecessor, which has tradition longer than eight decades. As it suits the law of such prominence and the scope and importance of the novelties, the new General Administrative Procedure Act provoked contrasting reactions in the academic community – from critique to commendations.

The author of the paper (at the same time the one of the authors of the draft law) proposes amendments to the law that could ameliorate the administrative procedure. The author of the paper finds that there is a space for improvement of the provisions concerning the guarantee act, parties, delivery, objection, appeal and enforcement procedure.
Unlimited carrier's liability
Authors: Janković Svetislav
Published: January 2021

The author in this article analyses unlimited carrier’s liability regarding not only to malicious behaviour of carrier in fulfilling obligations from contract of carriage (e.g. causing damage with intent, wilful misconduct or recklessly), but also ordinary situation where, despite of non-fulfilment of contract, carrier’s liability is limited. The core of this article is concentrated on the explanation of the link between strict carrier’s liability and legal importance of degree of carrier’s fault in non-fulfilment of contract. The author is on the standpoint that carrier should be liable limited, but not in amount below the value of goods, but in the amount equal to its market value. This liability regime is justified with the fact of high economic power of transport companies and developed technic in traffic and vehicles, which did not exist in the beginnings of modern transport.

In the first part of the article is represented the notion of unlimited liability and legal regime of contemporary carrier’s liability expressed in strict liability. Then is considered legal importance of carrier’s fault in fulfilling contract, and especially the influence of degree of fault on (un)limitation of carrier’ liability. Finally, author highlights the number of persons who could be identified with carrier and specifically whose intentional and recklessly action would be resulted in unlimited carrier’s liability.
