Published: February 2024

The battles for the liberation of Oradia and Bihor from the Hortyst-German occupation involved a number Romanian Army divisions (the 3rd Mountain Brigade and Tudor Vladimirescu Brigade), as well as divisions of the Red Army and were particularly ferocious and long-lasting (5 September - 12 October 1944). Several offensives and counter-offensives of the Hungarian-German and Romanian-Soviet military divisions took place with the purpose of preserving/liberating the city of Oradea, the administrative centre of Bihor County, a critical land and air communications hub for the entire western region (roads, railways, airport).
In the battles for Oradea, the region experienced several days of power vacuum, with the fascist troops retreating from the city in order to prepare for a counter-offensive, while the Romanian-Soviet troops were regrouping outside the city for a decisive offensive (25 September - 28 September).
At the same time, three citizens of the city, i.e. Andrei Silviu – a Romanian ethnic, a former civil servant with the City Hall and reserve officer of the Romanian Army, who had a local Israeli wife, Nicolae Rajkovič - a Romanian citizen of Serbian origin who was a local barber, and Papp Tibor – a civil servant with the City Hall, a Romanian citizen of Hungarian origin, established a “civil guard” comprising 45 citizens of Oradea with different nationalities, who were armed with rifles from a City Hall warehouse. The role of the guard was to maintain peace in the city and to defend the life and property of the citizens, primarily the workshops and shops in the city against the lumpenproletariat who were prone to looting.
The return of fascist occupiers in the city leads to the arrest of the three guard organisers. They are brought in front of a military court and sentenced to death for organising “partisan troops behind the front”. Andrei and Rajkovič are shot in the Oradia Fortress three days before (9 October) the liberation of the city (12 October), while Papp is saved by his family and sentenced to 15 years in prison, due to the fact that he was a Hungarian ethnic.
Although historians and patriotic local councillors proposed (in 2007, 2013, 2015, and 2020) that the two murdered locals should be honoured as heroes of the city, the political parties or coalitions that held the majority in the Oradea City Council (the Democratic Party (PD) + the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR), the National Liberal Party (PNL) + the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR)) kept rejecting the initiative. This year, several cultural and patriotic organisations will bring up the proposal once again, since the idea behind it still makes a valid point.

Published: February 2024

The present study was conducted on healthy, lactating pleuriparous Murrah buffaloes (29), in their third to fifth parity and calved during December 2007 to May 2008. The animals were selected at 2 organized dairy farms (Mattewara and Guru Angad Dev Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Ludhiana). On the basis of season of calving they were divided into 2 groups, viz. winter calving buffaloes and summer calving buffaloes. A rapid reduction of uterine body was observed during first 21 days postpartum in both winter and summer calving buffalo. After day 21 postpartum, reduction in uterine body diameter was significantly slower in winter calving buffalo. The diameters of uterine horns rapidly declined during first 14 days postpartum and slowly declined from day 21 to day 35 postpartum in both groups of buffaloes. Ultrasonographic images of contents of postpartum uterine lumen were highly variable within and between animals during the study period. Based on echotexture of the content of uterine lumen 6 grades were identified. Even though uterine tracts reached the pelvic cavity early, the majority of animals in both the groups still had hyperechoic materials with varying amounts at day 63 postpartum indicating incomplete uterine involution. It can thus be concluded that although, season of calving had no significant effect on the initial involution of uterus, reduction in uterine body diameter was significantly affected after day 21 postpartum in both the groups and needs further evaluation with respect to conception.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the dietary mulberry leaves on nutrient digestibility and layer performances. The experiment was conducted for 30 days on 105 Lohman Brown layers assigned to 3 groups (C, E1 and E2) with 35 layers/group. The experimental diets included 3% (E1) and 6% (E2) mulberry leaves. The layers had free access to the food. The feed intake, egg production, feed conversion ratio, egg mass production and egg weight were recorded; no significant difference was noticed between the 3 groups. Digestibility studies were performed on weeks 2 and 3 (5 days/week). Organic matter digestibility was significantly higher in the control group compared to the experimental groups: E1 and E2. Nitrogen free extractives significantly differed in groups too. The physical parameters of the eggs (egg weight, egg white weight, egg shell thickness, Haugh unit, egg yolk weight and egg shell weight) did not differ significantly between the groups. Yolk colour intensity was significantly higher in the experimental groups E1 and E2 compared to the control group. Use of mulberry leaves in laying hens nutrition by including into ratio up to 6% had no negative effects on breeding performances and egg quality.

Ovarian Abscess within an Endometrioma: Risk Factors and Management
Authors: Sarkar Sen Shashwati
Published: February 2024

Ovarian endometriosis increases the risk of development of an abscess within the ovary. Tubo-ovarian abscess within an endometrioma occurs when the infected tube serves as a portal of infection and the endometriotic blood serves as a culture medium. Pelvic Inflammatory Disease, Intra uterine contraceptive device (IUCD), ultrasound guided oocyte retrieval in IVF-ET and endometrioma aspiration are possible sources of infection. Primary ovarian abscess without involvement of the fallopian tube, is a rare complication of an underlying endometrioma and may be due to iatrogenic introduction of pathogen during transvaginal surgical procedures. De novo primary ovarian abscess within an endometrioma in the absence of a risk factor is even rarer. Weakened endometriotic cyst wall and hematogenous spread of infection are possible explanations for bacterial implantation. Infected ovarian endometrioma is a surgical emergency and preserving the fertility in a nullipara is a challenge which can be overcome by timely intervention.
What Law Enforcement Leaders Can Do To Mitigate Occupational Stress
Authors: O. Segovia Richard
Published: February 2024

This chapter synthesizes the peer-reviewed literature and practitioner perspectives on how law enforcement occupational stressors significantly impact individual officers, their agencies, and the communities they serve. There is a clear connection between officer well-being and public safety, with both police agencies and communities benefitting from having healthy officers. Modern-day police leaders recognize the importance of maintaining a physically and mentally healthy workforce and feel ethically responsible for addressing occupational stress among their staff. A systematic literature search was conducted using Google Scholar, ERIC, and the ProQuest Criminal Justice Database. This chapter shows how organizational, operational, and personal factors, such as the work environment and external support systems, play a role in contributing to or worsening occupational stress in law enforcement. In addition, the chapter includes a discussion on research-based strategies that police leaders might find beneficial to reduce officer stressors in the workplace. By implementing these research-based strategies, law enforcement leaders can foster a healthier and more resilient workforce, thereby reducing the adverse effects of occupational stress on their officers and enhancing overall well-being and effectiveness within the law enforcement community. Understanding the root cause of workplace stressors may help promote a healthier workforce.
Power Issues in Legal Translation: The Methodological Battleground
Authors: Bell Mandeng Adrien
Published: February 2024

As the receptacle of bilateral sociocultural representations converted in text, translation pits against one another sociocultural and normative models heralded by different anthropological communities, thereby eliciting power issues. Legal texts are the herald of agreed-upon sociocultural truth upon which life within a community is organised. Terms are avatar of normative paradigms. Their use, especially beyond their cognitive anchorage and textual boundaries, deserves to be investigated as they can create resistance as revealed by the legal translation of OHADA in bijural Cameroon. Legal translation is a space, where power is extended on the one hand or restricted on the Other by agents who are translators. Through recourse to specific translation methods, the former lean power on one side rather than the Other. Methodology, therefore, becomes a space, where decisions are made and power constructed. This chapter aims at identifying the methodological processes used by translation to manipulate power. The investigation of this shall be done using Neumann’s game theory to figure out power dynamics at the micro-structural level. Pergnier’s sociolinguistic theory shall be used to demonstrate the necessity to accommodate the Other using symbols likely to draw a parallelism in social function.

Novel Cryptocurrency Investment Approaches: Risk Reduction and Diversification through Index Based Strategies
Authors: P. Stawicki Stanislaw
Published: February 2024

Cryptocurrency investment approaches continue to evolve rapidly. Traditionally, cryptocurrency holders tend to actively support up to several distinct projects, focusing their selection criteria on specific project characteristics, project team and community, existing markets and liquidity levels, as well as the perception of each unique project’s broadly understood “mission and vision” and “future potential.” In this chapter, we will explore an index-based investment strategy as an alternative to the more traditional single- or oligo-asset approaches. In the index-based paradigm, multi-asset strategy involves equalization and redistribution of risk exposure across multiple, pre-vetted portfolio positions. This strategy, novel to the cryptocurrency space, also involves risk reduction through cost averaging, dilution of cyber security-related risk(s), as well as mitigation of liquidity restrictions related to individual-position market liquidity characteristics. Additional discussion of software platforms, including both custodial and non-custodial wallets, and the associated risk-benefit considerations, will also be included in this manuscript.

The Impact of BioLPG’s on Carbon Footprint: A Context of European Countries
Authors: Sepehri Amir , Kamal Ghassem Alaskari Mohammad
Published: February 2024

There is an urgent requirement for transition to better sustainable bioeconomy techniques due to global worries about the depletion of the fossil fuel supply in the world. Alternative fuels have gained interest as the world strives to create sustainable energy sources and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. BioLPG, a renewable shape of Condensed Petroleum Gas [LPG], has emerged as an attractive option in response to energy demands and environmental concerns. Using biomass feedstocks, such as agricultural residues, forestry waste, and waste cooking oil, bioLPG is a carbon-neutral alternative to traditional LPG. Compared with conventional LPG, bioLPG offers several benefits, including reduced net greenhouse gas emissions and lower carbon intensity. Moreover, bioLPG production can utilize multiple biomass feedstocks and maximize waste value. This chapter assesses the current state of research on bioLPG, identifies critical challenges and issues, and presents potential solutions for the broad adoption of bioLPG. BioLPG’s footprint varies and depends on the feedstock and situation in the European bases. However, it is often eligible for government support through financial credits and meets biofuel requirements by EU countries under the Renewable Energy Directive.
