SOYKIRIMI SUÇUNUN ÖNLENMESİ VE CEZALANDIRILMASI SÖZLEŞMESİ ÇERÇEVESİNDE DEVLETİN SORUMLULUĞU
Authors: Kılıç Yaşın Gözde
Published: June 2024

1948 tarihli Soykırımı Önleme ve Cezalandırma Sözleşmesi, soykırım suçunun tanımını yaparak yasaklamıştır. Devletin Soykırım Sözleşmesindeki sorumluluğu, iç hukukunda Sözleşmeye uygun düzenleme yaparak soykırımı uluslararası suç olarak tanıması ve faillerin yargılanması konusunda gerekli iş birliğini yapmasıdır. Bu anlamda Soykırım Sözleşmesi taraf devletler arasında devlet başkanları dahil suçluların yargılanması ve iadesi konusunda adli iş birliğini tesis etmektedir. Soykırımın alelade cinayetler serisi olmaması, organize ve sistematik yok etme faaliyetlerini ve güçlü bir niyetlilik gerektirmesi, emir-komuta zinciri, itaat-otorite-yaptırım, ikna edici propaganda ve söylem teknikleri, etkili şiddet araçlarına gereksinim duyması nedenleriyle suçun Devlet katılımı olmadan gerçekleşmeyeceği fikrini doğurmaktadır. Bu nedenle Devletin sorumluluğu konusu soykırım suçları için farklı yorumlara neden olabilmektedir. Ancak gerek Sözleşmenin hazırlanış sürecinde gerek Uluslararası Hukuk Komisyonu’nun Devletin Sorumluluğunu belirleme çalışmalarında ve ilgili Raporlarında gerekse de literatürdeki yaygın görüşte Devletlerin Sözleşmede anılan yükümlülüklerini aşan bir yaklaşım söz konusu değildir. Tüzel kişiliklerin cezai sorumluluğu olmadığı hususu açıktır. Çalışmanın amacı Uluslararası Adalet Divanının Devlet sorumluluğuna ilişkin bir kararının yarattığı çelişkiyi ilgili hukuk metinlerini analiz ederek tartışmaktır. Hukuki analiz ve mukayese yöntemleri kullanılmıştır.

Public Debt and Economic Growth in MENA Countries. An Analysis by Panel Co-Integration Techniques
Authors:   The Higher Institute of Management of Tunis University of Tunis 41 Avenue de la Liberté, Tunis 2000 Research Laboratories in Macroeconomics, AMIRI Kaouther
Published: June 2024

This study analyzes the dynamic relationship between public debt and economic growth in the economies of the MENA region during 1996 -2020. To do this, two econometric tools were applied. The first method presents panel cointegration techniques and Granger causality tests to verify the existence of a long-term relationship and examine the direction of causality between the different variables chosen. The FMOLS and DOLS panel techniques were used to estimate the long-term parameters. Thus, we show that the long-term impact of public debt on economic growth is both positive and significant. The second method describes the link using a linear growth model and another dynamic model. The latter two were estimated using the generalized moments method with dynamic panel data. The results show a close relationship between the exogenous variable debt and endogenous variable economic growth, and that debt positively affects growth up to a certain threshold. Beyond this threshold, the effect becomes negative and significant. Nevertheless, we have concluded that from a certain threshold, debt can exceed the repayment capacities and, therefore, disadvantage growth, which will in turn discourage domestic investments and savings.

Prisión preventiva en el derecho penal ecuatoriano
Authors: Roldán Pérez Jaime Leonardo , Márquez Bravo Danilo
Published: June 2024

La prisión preventiva es una medida de privación de libertad personal que se aplica a una persona durante una investigación para asegurar su comparecencia en el proceso judicial, incluso sin que exista una sentencia previa. Es una decisión judicial que se toma para ordenar la prisión preventiva de un individuo acusado de cometer un delito, con el fin de garantizar que el proceso no sea obstruido ni demorado. Esta medida cautelar es la más extrema, ya que implica la privación de libertad y debe cumplir ciertos requisitos para ser aplicada por el juez encargado del caso. Como conclusión, las bases teóricas y legales que sustentan la prisión preventiva contrastan notablemente con la situación real en Ecuador, evidenciando un problema jurídico en el país. En este contexto, se observa un sistema judicial influenciado por los medios de comunicación, donde jueces y fiscales suelen acusar y dictar sentencias en función de la opinión pública, sin respetar los límites establecidos por el Derecho Penal.

The application of EFQM model of business excellence in the process of self-assessment of business processes: A case study
Authors: Nedić Vladimir , Domanović Violeta , Despotović Danijela
Published: June 2024

In contemporary business environment, business excellence is an inevitable condition for the long-term survival, growth and development of an enterprise. Business Excellence implies permanent improvement of all business processes and activities, which ultimately contributes to improvement of long-term and sustainable enterprise effectiveness and creation of value for all stakeholders. Hence, the paper discusses the concept of business excellence and possibilities of application of the model of business excellence in order to define metrics and self-assessment of business processes and activities. The enterprise inevitably implements innovations in business, but the question is whether the innovations are economically justified or not. The aim of the paper is to highlight the significance of self-assessment in the enterprise and the role of the EFQM business excellence model in the analysis of efficiency and effectiveness of the applied innovations. The research results prove that it is possible to apply the EFQM model in the process of self-assessment of business process performances before and after the application of innovations. Practical contribution of the research is reflected in the development and application of authorial database model and suggesting the solution for self-assessment based on EFQM 2013 methodology.
The economic revitalization of the Eyalet of Niš from 1861 to 1864
Authors: Ranđelović Milan , Çekmez Ozan
Published: June 2024

The evolution and revolution of the economic capacities of a community represent the basis of its development. In this regard, the development of modern Niš was initiated by progressive individuals who were at the head of this city back in the Ottoman period. The most significant of them was the great Ottoman reformer Ahmed Midhat Pasha, who during his service as the governor of city and Eyalet of Niš (1861-1864) used this region as a pilot environment for his innovative socioeconomic ideas in order to restore and develop its economic potential. The aim of the paper is to prove that some of those ideas (the Homeland Fund) were not only far-sighted, but also had long-term consequences for Serbian and Ottoman society even after 1878. In order to achieve this goal, a comparative analysis of historical sources and literature of domestic and foreign provenance was carried out, and in the conclusion, the layering of the topic and the need for future dealings with it, both from the aspect of economic and historical science, were emphasized.

Logistics IT support solutions in Zala County
Authors: Szabó Károly
Published: June 2024

Industry 4.0 solutions such as the use of AI are becoming increasingly visible in everyday logistics processes. Many publications have already dealt with what technological innovations could be introduced to improve the flow of materials, but relatively few have dealt with the extent to which these theoretical solutions are also present in practice. In connection with this gap, the current research aims to examine the effectiveness and impact of AI use in the logistics field. This paper is a follow-up study on the topic as the logistics AI use was already analyzed in Pest County in the framework of this study direction. Since this study is still the second step of the already commenced research work, the very study does not try to draw conclusions leading to generalization but rather aims to draw causal conclusions of a pilot nature. In the research tools, the paper uses the qualitative design from the previous study (applied in another geographical territory-Zala County) but at the same time examines other analyzing methods like SEM modelling as a potential tool to be integrated.

Recurrent liver cyst: Case report and literature review
Authors: Mitrović Nebojša , Trifunović Nemanja , Stevanović Dejan , Jašarović Damir , Aleksandrić Goran
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Liver cysts are defined as cavities within the liver tissue, surrounded by a layer of epithelium and filled with liquid or semi-liquid contents. They are mostly asymptomatic and usually diagnosed by ultrasonography, CT or Mr diagnostics. Symptoms occur as a result of complications such as bleeding, rupture, infection or compression of the biliary tract. All liver cysts can be divided into (1) infectious and (2) non-infectious liver cysts. The most common non-infectious cysts are simple congenital biliary cysts. Case outline: We present a 74-year-old female patient. She had upper right abdominal pain and dyspepsia several weeks before the first examination. Abdominal ultrasound and CT verified a large simple cyst of the right lobe of the liver of about 14cm in size. She underwent minimally invasive surgery when a partial cyst resection was performed. Seven months later, abdominal ultrasound, Mr and MRCP verified a simple recurrent cyst in the right lobe of about 13cm in size with no communication with the biliary system. She underwent open surgery when pericystectomia cum omentoplastica was performed. The pathohistological result showed a benign biliary cyst. There was no recurrence at regular follow ups 12 months upon the procedure. Conclusion: There are many treatment modalities, and each one is accompanied by certain disadvantages. In recent years, conventional open surgical procedures have been replaced by minimally invasive surgical procedures. Laparoscopic surgery is the method of choice in carefully selected patients. Open conventional surgery is reserved for patients with giant cysts, recurrent cysts, deep intraparenchymal cysts, and right lobe subphrenic cysts.
Multifractal characterization of grayscale histopathological images: Unveiling patterns linked to metastases in breast cancer
Authors: Nedeljković Zorana , Milošević Dejana , Radulović Marko , Milošević Nebojša , Rajković Nemanja
Published: June 2024

Introduction: Breast cancer, a pervasive global malignancy, demands precise prognostication of the risk of metastases for personalized therapeutic strategies and enhanced survival rates. In pursuit of refined diagnostic methodologies, this study employs multifractal analysis on grayscale histopathological images, revealing distinctive patterns associated with the occurrence of metastases. Aim: Analyzing the multifractal spectra of grayscale images for groups with and without metastases to assess the utility of this analytical approach in enhancing the diagnostic process. Materials and methods: The study included 102 female patients treated at the Institute for Oncology and Radiology of Serbia in the same year (1993). Histopathological samples were immunostained with a pan-cytokeratin antibody and digitized with a high-resolution scanner, from which a specialist chose representative parts, thus leading to a total number of 519 images (418 in no-metastases group and 101 in metastases group). Images were subjected to multifractal analysis, assessing the generalized dimension, Hölder exponent, and singularity spectra. Results: Statistical comparisons between groups with and without metastases unveil significant differences in the negative domains of both generalized dimension and Hölder exponent spectra, highlighting the influence of fine structures in tissue morphology that are linked to metastatic risk. Conclusion: Multifractal analysis applied to images of histopathological samples from breast tumors demonstrates the ability to differentiate between groups of patients with and without metastases. While caution is warranted regarding image resolution limitations and immunostaining sensitivity, this method is a non-training-dependent approach with potential diagnostic significance and possible synergies with advanced neural network approaches.
Creative jurisprudence of Miodrag D. Tucaković
Authors: Bovan Saša
Published: June 2024

This paper discusses the legal-hermeneutic ideas of M. Tucaković, one of the youngest and most talented authors in the field of legal theory between the two world wars. The basic hypothesis of this paper branches in two directions. Firstly, we were interested in which theoretical orientation in the theory of legal interpretation M. Tucaković adheres to. Secondly, we were interested in whether there are elements of a sociological approach to this issue in his legal-hermeneutic ideas. Regarding the first task, it can be said that the conception of legal reasoning of this author belongs to the idealistic variant of objective theory (leaning towards objective law as a hermeneutic instrument). Regarding the second hypothesis, we concluded that if his academic career had not been interrupted, M. Tucaković would most likely have evolved towards a realistic (pragmatic), and then towards a sociological school of legal interpretation, considering his great respect for advocates of this theory in our country (B. Marković, Ž. Spasojević), and considering how he elaborates this conception in detail, further, considering his effort to precisely and comprehensively expound the theoretical sources and essence of sociological theory of legal interpretation. Finally, evidence in this direction is also that M. Tucaković points out the importance of the minor premise of juristic conclusion, as well as his inclination and need to substantiate his ideas and conclusions with examples from legal practice.
Experimental study of the mechanical behavior of dam sediment renforced by geotextiles and geogrids
Authors: Meksi Ali , Sadoun Mohamed , Youzera Hadj , Benmahdi Khaled , Bouguenina Otbi
Published: June 2024

Introduction/purpose: Geosynthetic materials have been successfully used for soil reinforcement to improve bearing capacity. In this article, geotextiles are used as tension material for the reinforcement of a mixture based on dredged sediment from the Cheurfas dam (Mascara) and quarry sand. Methods: Immediate bearing index tests were carried out in the laboratory to study the mixing behaviour, and the three-point bending flexural test was carried out on prismatic specimens to study the traction capacity of the mixture. Mixture samples are selected and tested without reinforcement. Then, by placing one, two and three layers of geotextile at a certain depth of the sample, the effects of a number of layers and type of geotextile and geogrid on increasing the bearing capacity of the mixture are discussed. Results: The results of these tests show that the bearing capacity of the samples reinforced by geotextile and geogrid is increased compared to that of the unreinforced samples. Based on the results obtained from ProctorIPI, their values do not permit the movement of construction machinery during the construction of pavement layers. The Immediate Bearing Index values are found sufficient for pavement layers. Geotextile introduction increases traction strength and improves stress distribution on soil samples, with the effect being significant for woven geotextile blends. Conclusion: All things considered, the results point to the possibility of using reinforced local soils as an affordable and practical option for building pavements. To guarantee long-term performance and optimise building methods, more research is advised.
Utilizing a hybrid decision-making approach with fuzzy and rough sets on linguistic data for analyzing voting patterns
Authors: Majumder Sandip , Kar Samarjit
Published: June 2024

Introduction/purpose: The significance of studying voting behaviour is underscored by its ability to gauge the continuity or divergence of electoral politics from historical trends, elucidating the real impact of the transformative ballot box, and contributing to the examination of democracy as a value among both masses and elites. Additionally, it aids in comprehending the intricate process of political socialization. Methods: An inherent strength of the rough set lies in its reliance solely on raw data, devoid of external inputs. The decision-theoretic rough set framework, an evolution of the rough set, has garnered widespread application across diverse domains, serving as a proficient tool for acquiring knowledge, particularly in navigating situations marked by vagueness and uncertainty. Despite the proliferation of mathematical models designed to discern people's voting behavior, a decision-based rough set recommendation remains noticeably absent in existing literature. This paper introduces an innovative three-way decision approach grounded in linguistic information for identifying voting behavior. The proposed approach is based on a hybrid probabilistic rough fuzzy model incorporating linguistic information and providing insights into voting patterns. Results: The three-way decision hybrid models are tested on people and a highly satisfactory result was achieved for identifying their voting behaviours. The justification of results was validated through the mathematical process. Conclusion: A practical illustration is provided to highlight the importance of this hybrid model and to confirm its usefulness in identifying and forecasting voting behaviour.
SMART monitoring and treatment of fracture healing: Piezoelectric transducers and stepper motor actuators
Authors: Antić Vladimir , Protić Danijela , Stanković Miomir , Manić Miodrag
Published: June 2024

Introduction/purpose: SMART orthopedic systems use fixators with remote monitoring, processing, and communication capabilities to leverage healing progression data for personalized, real-time monitoring of a healing process. The fixators incorporate small and compact piezoelectric sensors that generate electrical signals upon the application of force to the piezoelectric diaphragm. This enables doctors to remotely guide fixation devices using indirectly and remotely controlled stepper motors known for their precision and accuracy. Reliability of stepper motors makes them a viable alternative for the mechanical tools traditionally used by doctors for fixator extension. Methods: This study focuses on the evaluation of sensor-based technology in orthopedic applications. The paper presents a theoretical framework for the application of SMART devices in the bone fracture healing process. It delves into the structure and functionality of piezoelectric transducers, offering a comprehensive insight into this technology and various engineering aspects of SMART systems. Results: The implementation of SMART systems has significantly enhanced doctor-patient communication. This improvement is facilitated through a dual-phase process involving gathering, processing, and transmitting the data wirelessly from the patient's (sensor) interface to the doctor who uses specialized software for data analysis and wireless transmission to the stepper motor actuator. Subsequently, the data is forwarded to the decoder at the motor site, where a motor controller generates the control signal for the stepper motor driver. Conclusion: SMART implants can provide doctors with quantitative data that can be used in directing a rehabilitation plan. The sensor-based technology offers insights into the stress induced by the callus formation enabling bidirectional communication between the doctor and the patient. The stepper motor is a tool that aids in personalized treatment from the distance.

There is a significant relationship between knowledge, family support, support from health workers and the implementation of IMD at PMB Rika Hardi, S.ST Padang in 2023. Knowledge factors, family support, health worker support are related to the implementation of IMD. It is hoped that the results of this research can be used in providing midwifery care for mothers giving birth, apart from that it canalso be a reference for midwives in providing intensive counseling to expectant mothers about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding starting from IMD so that the quality of service increases.
Ultrasound Analysis of the Most Important Musculoskeletal Issues
Authors: Tschanz Dan , Lombardo Paolo
Published: June 2024

This work shows the most important standard sections of relevant questions in musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound of the wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle. Exemplary images with descrip-tions of the sections and anatomical structures were created and the positioning of the patient explained. Several patient cases per region were also presented and explained in order to place the described procedures in a clinical context. The advantages and disadvantages of the imaging procedures were explained and compared. MSK ultrasound is particularly strong in the visualisation of superficial structures, whereby this form of imaging is superior to other imaging procedures in some cases. In addition, the detection of inflammation, for example, is not only possible via indirect signs (e.g. free fluid or abscess) compared to computer tomography. In addition, the hyperperfusion caused by inflammation can be visualised directly at the affected site using Doppler examination. Even in the case of functional restrictions such as shoulder impingement or tendon instability (see section 4.6.11: Patient case 19), which are difficult to visualise using other imaging techniques, the tissue can be viewed and moved in vivo using a dynamic examination. This can lead to a better understanding of the pathology and a more precise diagnosis. MSK sonography therefore proves to be a valuable addition to everyday clinical practice.
The focus of our work was the presentation of common standard ultrasound incisions in the MSK area. The intention to keep this guide clear and to cover the common pathologies is limited by the fact that not all sections could be covered. In a future work, further, less frequently used incisions could be shown in order to cover a broader spectrum of possible pathologies. For example, sections of the thorax (such as the thoracolumbar fascia or areas of the spine and lumbar region) could also be shown. A further question is whether MSK ultrasound can save or replace an MRI or CT examination in certain cases. As discussed in the introduction, this would be an advantage from the patient's point of view and in economic terms. Further studies investigating this aspect would be valuable.

The naturally weathered and then oil-coated (Teak oil) Rowan wood (Sorbus torminalis) was subjected to distilled (A) and swimming pool water (B) aging treatments with continuous wetting-drying up to the third cycle. Treatment conditions and water aging types seem to influence color variables somewhat. The highest lightness (ΔL*), redness (Δa*), and yellowness (Δb*) changes were measured in samples that were continuously aged at the third cycle procedure in swimming pool water, respectively. Similar results have also been observed for total color changes, such that pool water had higher discoloration effects on color values compared to distilled water at similar conditions, while increasing the cycle usually further lowered discoloration. The highest color change value of ΔEB3: 10.49 (metric) was found in the third cycle in pool water treatment, followed by a value of ΔEB2: 9.42 (metric) in the second cycle and a value of ΔEB1: 1.71 (metric) in the first cycle, respectively. Color changes could be employed as a sensitive physical indicator of coating aging, which can be correlated to the associated chemical changes. All aging processes have lower gloss values than control in all aging procedures, regardless of water type. The lowest gloss value of 1.2 GU was noticed at the third cycle in swimming pool treatments. It is also notable that the most dramatic effect on surface hardness (Shore D) was found after the first cycle, while the lowest hardness values of 38 (metric) and 33 (metric) were found in swimming pools and distilled pure water-treated samples, respectively.
