Članak donosi prikaz života svećenika
Trebinjsko-mrkanske biskupije u 18. stoljeću na primjeru don Filipa Kuncula,
koji se zbog straha od turskoga progona sklonio na prostor Dubrovačke
Republike, a taj svoj čin, kao i odbijanje naredbe da se vrati u biskupiju,
trebao je braniti pred vlastitim biskupom. Na njegovu primjeru dan je kratak
pregled odnosa unutar Katoličke crkve u Trebinjsko-mrkanskoj biskupiji, kao i njezinih
odnosa prema tamošnjim osmanskim vlastima.

Experimental validation of wind energy estimation
Authors: Zivkovic Predrag , Tomic Mladen , Bakic Vukman
Published: December 2019

Wind power assessment in complex terrain is a very demanding task. Modeling wind conditions with standard linear models does not sufficiently reproduce wind conditions in complex terrains, especially on leeward sides of terrain slopes, primarily due to the vorticity. A more complex non-linear model, based on Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations has been used. Turbulence was modeled by modified two-equations k-? model for neutral atmospheric boundary-layer conditions, written in general curvelinear non-orthogonal co-ordinate system. The full set of mass and momentum conservation equations as well as turbulence model equations are numerically solved, using the as CFD technique. A comparison of the application of linear model and non-linear model is presented. Considerable discrepancies of estimated wind speed have been obtained using linear and non-linear models. Statistics of annual electricity production vary up to 30% of the model site. Even anemometer measurements directly at a wind turbine?s site do not necessarily deliver the results needed for prediction calculations, as extrapolations of wind speed to hub height is tricky. The results of the simulation are compared by means of the turbine type, quality and quantity of the wind data and capacity factor. Finally, the comparison of the estimated results with the measured data at 10, 30, and 50 m is shown.

Authors: Bogdanov L. A. , Kutikhin A. G.
Published: December 2019

Aim.To optimize hematoxylin and eosin staining protocol for heart, blood vessels, liver, and spleen.

Methods.Heart (ventricles), abdominal aorta, liver (right lobe), and spleen (left part) of the Wistar rats were excised, fixed in 10% neutral phosphate buffered formalin for 24 h, washed in tap water for 2 h, dehydrated in ascending ethanol series (70%, 80%, and 95%) and isopropanol, embedded into paraffin and then sectioned (5 μm) using rotary microtome. For regressive staining, incubation time in Harris hematoxylin was 5 or 10 minutes, time of exposure to differentiation alcoholicaqueous eosin was 1 or 2 minutes. For progressive staining, incubation time in Carazzi’s hematoxylin and eosin was the same but the differentiation solution was not utilized.

Results.Progressive staining retained tissue integrity and accelerated staining protocol as compared to regressive staining due to absence of exposure to aggressive acid alcohol differentiation solution. The optimized protocol for heart, aorta and liver, similar for regressive and progressive staining, included incubation in hematoxylin for 10 minutes and eosin for 2 minutes. Time of exposure to differentiation solution (2 or 10 seconds) was defined by the desirable shade. For spleen, however, the optimized protocol included staining in hematoxylin for 5 minutes and eosin for 2 minutes, with 10 seconds in differentiation solution for regressive staining.

Conclusion.Progressive hematoxylin is preferable over regressive hematoxylin for staining of heart, aorta, liver, and spleen.

Published: December 2019

Aim. To estimate the dynamics of 24-hour blood pressure pattern in patients with resistant hypertension after renal denervation in comparison with the conservative treatment group.

Methods. We enrolled 45 patients (21 men and 24 women, mean age 53 (43-66) years) with resistant hypertension. Renal denervation was performed in 25 patients using Vessix renal denervation system while the conservative treatment group included 20 patients. Monitoring of 24-hour blood pressure pattern was performed before renal denervation and after 1 year of follow-up.

Results. Twelve months after renal denervation, patients with resistant hypertension had a significant reduction in office blood pressure (33 and 15 mmHg for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respectively) and 24-hour average blood pressure (29 and 12 mmHg, for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respectively). Another beneficial effect of renal denervation was a decrease in systolic blood pressure variability both throughout the day and at night (6 (5-12) and 7 (7-10) mmHg, respectively); however, no changes in diastolic blood pressure variability have been registered. Despite renal denervation did not affect the morning blood pressure surge, morning systolic blood pressure reduced from 174 (130180) mmHg to 156 (130-165) mmHg. After 1 year of follow-up, the proportion of dippers increased from 16 to 44%. In contrast to the patients who underwent renal denervation, there were no significant changes in 24-hour blood pressure pattern in the conservative treatment group.

Conclusion. After 1 year of follow-up, renal denervation can be considered as an option superior to conservative treatment in patients with resistant hypertension, as it significantly improved 24-hour blood pressure pattern.

Published: December 2019

Aim. To develop the methodology to assess the standards of physical development of children and adolescents.

Materials and Methods. We have analyzed the available literature and our previous results to identify current problems in evaluating physical development of children with the focus on regional standards.

Results. Current methodology in the field clearly needs standardization. We propose that “Standards of physical development of children and adolescents” software enables the objective evaluation of physical development in relation to children and adolescents and therefore can be suggested as a golden standard. Comparative analysis of the anthropometric data using this program and standard descriptive statistics (SPSS 21) showed the similarity of the results.

Conclusions. Contemporary problems in the study of physical development of children and adolescents include the lack of standardized methods, standards, and official documents. We suggest our novel approach as a promising solution.

A Framework for Interactive Virtual Tours
Authors: Ekpar Frank Edughom
Published: December 2019

This paper introduces a framework for the creation, management and deployment of interactive virtual tours. A panoramic image acquisition unit is adapted to acquire panoramic images and video streams from a wide variety of sources. The acquired panoramic images and video streams are fed into a transform engine that performs any required transformations on the input data in a uniform and seamless manner. A package generator coupled with the transform engine synthesizes complete virtual tour packages by combining the transformed data with a broad range of multimedia resources to create navigable virtual tours. Perspective correction and related transformations on the data are carried out by a viewing engine allowing a plurality of viewers to independently and simultaneously interact with the virtual tours. User interaction with the virtual tour packages is enhanced by a control engine that facilitates bi-directional communication between various elements of the system.
Stochastic Computing: An Introduction
Authors: Sadiku Matthew N. , Awada Emad A. , Musa Sarhan M.
Published: December 2019

Stochastic Computing (SC) essentially represents numbers as streams of random bits and reconstructs numbers by calculating frequencies. It employs random bits to calculate via simpler circuits and with greater tolerance for errors. As a computing paradigm, SC is currently undergoing a revival. Since stochastic circuits have a small size, SC has regained interest recently due to its potential usage in some emerging nanotechnologies. In this paper, we briefly present stochastic computing and discuss its applications, benefits, and challenges.

Published: December 2019

Shoreline changes are important indicators of natural and manmade impacts on inland waters and particularly lakes. Man-induced changes in Lake Sevan water level during the 20th century affected not only the ecological status of the Sevan water but also near-shore areas. This article considers a long-term study of changes in Lake Sevan shoreline that occurred between 1973 and 2015. The Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) was applied to delineate the Sevan shoreline changes according to periods of lake water fluctuation from multi-temporal Landsat images and Historical changes in shorelines were analyzed with help of the Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS) toolbox. Data obtained from the analysis have indicated that changes in the lake shoreline that occurred in different periods are similar to those in the lake water balance. Areas with the greatest shoreline changes have comparatively flat relief, so in the result of the lake water level raise vast forested areas were submerged. This study shows that application of multi-temporal spatial imagery and GIS methods can provide valuable information on time-and-space changes in the Sevan shoreline. Such information is important for monitoring Lake Sevan shoreline and nearshore changes.
Specific Features Of Geological Risk Assessment In Moscow
Authors: Kozliakova Irina V. , Eremina Olga N. , Anisimova Nadezhda G. , Kozhevnikova Irina A.
Published: December 2019

The paper describes approaches to assessing geohazards and georisk of economic losses in Moscow. It is shown that for surface construction, the principle geohazards in Moscow are karst-suffosion sinkholes, land subsidence, landslides, and waterlogging. The subsurface construction is endangered by karstification and fracturing of limestone, decompaction, and swelling of clay, quicksand phenomena, and groundwater breakthrough to tunnels. The different procedures for the assessment of geological risk in Moscow have been suggested for already existing urban infrastructure and for future planned construction. For existing surface urban infrastructure, geological risk is considered to be an integral parameter of probable damage caused by geohazards and the anthropogenic load on the specific territories. The main aim of risk mapping in this case is outlining the territories, for which restrictions and prohibitions should be imposed for further urban engineering development. For future subsurface urban construction, the risk-analysis consists in assessing the impact of geohazards on the engineering structure by comparing the future expenditures for the construction and operation under different engineering geological conditions. The procedures of risk mapping elaborated for both approaches are described; the typification schemes are listed; and the relevant risk maps built for the Moscow territory are provided. The risk maps will help planners to compare and make alternative project decisions in order to minimize the cost in future economic expenditures. Both approaches are successfully approved in Moscow.

Published: December 2019

This article describes the contemporary methods of diagnosing sexually transmitted infections, their advantages and disadvantages, indications for use. The authors describe application of quantitative polymerase chain reaction in diagnosing inflammatory diseases and dysbiotic conditions in men and women. This method, which is currently the “golden standard” in urogenital pathology diagnostics, has undeniable advantages over microbiological methods and qualitative polymerase chain reaction: the preanalytical stage requirements (preservation of quantitative ratios between microorganisms or nucleic acids of microorganisms) are not as strict, the risk of contamination from outside environment and subsequent corruption of the results is significantly smaller, the conditions for all microorganisms, including those impossible and hard to cultivate, are the same sensitivity and specificity-wise, it is possible to sample materials and evaluate microbiota (ratios of microorganisms and their groups) and also possible to collect samples non-invasively, the speed of testing is high.

Published: December 2019

Респираторные заболевания (ОРЗ) относят к числу наиболее распространенных заболеваний детского возраста и служат поводом частого обращения за медицинской помощью. Повышенная заболеваемость детей определяется целым рядом факторов, в том числе наличием дисбаланса в системе цитокинов, уровень синтеза которых генетически детерминирован. Целью работы было проанализировать особенности распределения шести клинически значимых полиморфных локусов в генах провоспалительных цитокинов у девочек с частыми респираторными заболеваниями. Среди девочек 7–17 лет, проходящих плановый профилактический осмотр, на основании анамнеза была выделена группа часто болеющих детей. Проведен анализ ассоциации полиморфных вариантов генов провоспалительных цитокинов IL1β T-31C (rs1143627), IL1β T-511C (rs16944), IL1β C-3953T (rs1143634), IL1β G-1473C (rs1143623) в гене интерлейкина-1β; IL6 C-174G (rs1800795) — в гене интерлейкина-6 и TNFα G-308A (rs1800629) — в гене фактора некроза опухоли альфа с предрасположенностью к частым респираторным заболеваниям. Полиморфные варианты генов выявляли методом ПЦР c электрофоретической детекцией. Показано, что с повышенным риском рецидивирующих респираторных заболеваний у девочек 7–17 лет ассоциированы аллели С-31 (rs1143627) (ОШ = 2,05; ДИ: 1,16–3,64; р = 0,013) и С-511 гена IL-1β (rs16944) (ОШ = 3,11; ДИ: 1,25–7,76; р = 0,013).

Na Parte I, são examinados os currículos Lattes de pesquisadores de quatro áreas do conhecimento (educação, linguística, ciências ambientais e genética e melhoramento de plantas), que atuam em cursos de pós-graduação da Universidade Estadual do Mato Grosso (Unemat), para a construção dos grafos de sua produção de conhecimento. Na Parte II, constam entrevistas com os docentes-pesquisadores, analisadas com o recurso do software webQDA, enfocando a categoria inovação e produção de conhecimento. Dos resultados emergiram indícios de produção de um conhecimento inovador, dado que se vincula às necessidades das comunidades locais e a elas retorna, com a intencionalidade manifestada pelos docentes de contribuir para a melhoria de vida dos sujeitos e, como consequência, para o desenvolvimento econômico e social.
"The Daughters of Patriarchy: Tracing Disparities in the Representation of Women in Indian Fiction in English"
Authors: Dwivedi Ashish
Published: December 2019

Patriarchy, as an ideology, assumes multiple manifestations in narratives, diminishing not only the might that lies hidden beneath the cracked echoes of feminism, but also the very elixir that keeps womanhood alive. It is here that the present paper, entitled "The Daughters of Patriarchy: Tracing Disparities in the Representation of Women in Indian Fiction in English" attempts to transpire the disparities that appear at the forefront in an artist's representation of its women, depending on the degree of his/her representation of patriarchy, as the title of the paper tends to accentuate. The paper would cogitate over the ill-effects of a phallo-centric ideology on the psyche of the concocted 'other', the daughters of patriarchy, through a cursory consideration of two novels, The God of Small Things (originally published in 1997)  and Fire on the Mountain (originally published in 1977).
Vedic Philosophy and Swami Nigamananda

Wonder that is India. India is wonderful because of its abundant and affluent cultural heritage. The cultural heritage of India is prudential of its spiritual richness and classical creativity. Vedic literature is the most wonderful and unparallel literary creation of Ancient India. Vedic literature has made this country worthy of worship. Vedas are without beginning and without end. Veda is author-less. It is Apauruseya. They are considered to be the direct word of the Divine.  Vedic knowledge appeared in the dawn of the cosmos within the heart of Brahma. Brahma imparted this knowledge in the form of sound (Sabda) to his sons who are great sages. They transmitted the Vedic sound heard from Brahma to their disciples all over universe. There are four Vedas. They are the Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Atharva Veda.  Four Vedas contain four types of texts such as The Samhitas, The Arankayas, The Brahmanas and The Upanishads. Veda is accepted as a code of conduct to Sanatan Dharma. The teaching of Veda is the concept that the individual is not an independent entity, but, rather, a part of the Universal Consciousness.  Upanishads is the manifestation of Vedantic thought. Sada Darshan (Six Systems of Vedanta) is a very important part of Vedic philosophy.  Swami Nigamananda a great Master of Vedic Literature achieved Nirbikalpa Sidhi of Vedanta in the year 1904.  The philosophy of Vedanta is reflected in the creation of Swami Nigamananda. In his writings (Yogi Guru, Jnani Guru, Tantrik Guru, Premik Guru, Brahmacharya Sadhana and Vedanta Viveka) he has explained the main scriptures of Vedas such as The Upanishads, The Bramha Sutras and The Bhagavad Gita. His philosophy teaches us to love and live in a state of eternal freedom. The Philosophy of Swami Nigamananda is a synthesis of Sankar and Gouranga i.e. knowledge and love. Knowledge envisages the path of analysis and Love, the path of synthesis. In this way Nigamananda convincingly reconciled the two apparently contradictory creeds of Adi Shankaracharya and Gauranga Mohapravu. “He advised his disciples to combine Shankara’s view and Gournaga’s way and walk on this path of synthesis. In fact attainment of Jnana through Bhakti is the nucleus of his philosophy. Through his teachings and works, he proclaimed to the world the fundamental harmony of all religions that there are many paths which lead to the same goal”.
A Dilemma of Identity: Exploring Bodily Identity Crisis in Animal’s People
Authors: Sreeraj S Nithin
Published: December 2019

Our societies or social groups are defined by the ideas, belief’s that we share and have in common. We see society as something that binds people together. But from the studies of structuralists like Claude Levi-Strauss and Edmund Leach, combined with arguments of others, exposes that societies are actually based on ideas of homogeneity and identity, through generations and how one is alienated if he/she is different from the main stream. This paper titled ‘A Dilemma of Identity: Exploring Bodily Identity Crisis in Animal’s People’ explores in depth how Indra Sinha’s novel, Animal’s People shows how an individual suffers to form an identity for oneself due to his twisted body structure that resembles the body of an animal, how he is alienated from the society and how it is reinforced by the people around him. This thesis explores whether the protagonist of the novel is finally able to create an identity, whether he is successful or not.

Published: December 2019

This study aims to determine how the use of internet media in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) of East Java to penetrate the Global Market with the O2O Method. MSME is a business activity that plays a major role in the economic development of a nation, but one of the obstacles in the development of MSMEs, especially in Indonesia is the number of business people who are still reluctant to know internet technology, even though with utilizing information technology and internet networks that are more easily accessible and used can help develop the businesses many times. Therefore, the existence of this research is expected to be  able to contribute in identifying internet facility and infrastructure ownership in MSMEs, MSME perceptions of the usefulness of information technology in their business, and the interest and mastery of MSME entrepreneurs’ technology in adopting the internet for business development in the global market. The analytical method used is descriptive statistics, with questionnaire instruments. The number of samples in this study are 102 MSMEs in East Java, especially in the fields of trade, hotels, and restaurants. The results of this study are: 87% of MSMEs have not utilized the Marketplace, 79.41% of MSMEs have not utilized E-Commerce, 82.35% of MSMEs have not utilized Crowdsourcing, 78.14% of MSMEs have not marketed their businesses through social media, so it can be concluded that MSMEs at East Java is not ready to penetrate the market global, because of the internet media used so far, most are only used as personal communication tools.
Association rule mining approach: evaluating pre-purchase risk intentions in the online second-hand goods market
Authors: Jibril Abdul Bashiru , Kwarteng Michael Adu , Appiah-Nimo Christina , Pilik Michal
Published: December 2019

Research background: A considerable amount of research has been conducted on the riskiness associated with online transactions in general. However, few studies have paid particular attention to the risk of online second-hand goods transactions. We, therefore, argue in this paper that, while online transactions pose several risks to consumers, the addition of second-hand goods intensifies the risks to the user. As the risk factors brought about by the online second-hand goods transactions persist, the magnitude of such risk inherent in the customer in question has not clearly emerged.
Purpose of the article: This paper aims at eliciting the magnitude of risky components aligned with the tendency to connect online in search of second-hand goods. Again, providing insight into demographic variables in relation to the pre-purchasing risk factors; averting customers to connect online in search of second-hand goods stands as one of the key reasons for the present study.
Methods: The research adopts a data mining algorithm, notably the Association rule mining to glean relevant patterns in the data accrued from the Czech Republic, premised on risk components governing the online buying behaviour of second-hand goods. To this end, a simple random technique was adopted to gauge the views of e-shoppers in the Czech Republic on online second-hand goods transactions; with 329 out of 411 respondents eligible for our analysis.
Findings & Value added: The results of the association rule technique have revealed that respondents within the gender frame are both adamant to hook-up online, in spite of the fact that they have shopped online, yet do not think of looking at second-hand goods sites because of some risky influence inherent in them, even if the respondent is an ordinary personal-user of online transactions. In all these developments, the research concludes that the second-hand industry needs to redesign the websites with much attention to reinforce stringent measures that will give better assurance of the risk factors, which will tend to avert the customer from connecting via the Internet in pursuit of second-hand goods.
Systematic review of variables applied in bankruptcy prediction models of Visegrad group countries
Authors: Kovacova Maria , Kliestik Tomas , Valaskova Katarina , Durana Pavol , Juhaszova Zuzana
Published: December 2019

Research background: Since the first bankruptcy prediction models were developed in the 60?s of the 20th century, numerous different models have been constructed all over the world. These individual models of bankruptcy prediction have been developed in different time and space using different methods and variables. Therefore, there is a need to analyse them in the context of various countries, while the question about their suitability arises.
Purpose of the article: The analysis of more than 100 bankruptcy prediction models developed in V4 countries confirms that enterprises in each country prefer different explanatory variables. Thus, we aim to review systematically the bankruptcy prediction models developed in the countries of Visegrad four and analyse them, with the emphasis on explanatory variables used in these models, and evaluate them using appropriate statistical methods.
Methods: Cluster analysis and correspondence analysis were used to explore the mutual relationships among the selected categories, e.g. clusters of explanatory variables and countries of the Visegrad group. The use of the cluster analysis focuses on the identification of homogenous subgroups of the explanatory variables to sort the variables into clusters, so that the variables within a common cluster are as much similar as possible. The correspondence analysis is used to examine if there is any statistically significant dependence between the monitored factors ? bankruptcy prediction models of Visegrad countries and explanatory variables.
Findings & Value added: Based on the statistical analysis applied, we confirmed that each country prefers different explanatory variables for developing the bankruptcy prediction model. The choice of an appropriate and specific variable in a specific country may be very helpful for enterprises, researchers and investors in the process of construction and development of bankruptcy prediction models in conditions of an individual country.
Perancangan Program Apresiasi dan Penghargaan bagi Pegawai PT.X berbasis Web pada HRMS dengan metode Waterfall
Authors: Wilana Wivadario
Published: December 2019

Apresiasi dan penghargaan karyawan merupakan salah satu faktor penting di dalam perusahaan, dikarenakan karyawan akan memiliki rasa bangga dan memberikan dedikasi penuh terhadap perusahaan. Human Resource Department pada PT. X memiliki banyak sekali modul-modul besar yang dapat dikelola menggunakan program, tetapi apresiasi dan penghargaan terhadap karyawan belum dapat dikelola secara program. Sehingga perancangan program dilakukan dengan metode perancangan dengan model Unified Modelling Language (UML) dan metode pengembangan yang digunakan adalah metode waterfall yang terdiri dari analisis, rancangan, implementasi dan pengujian terhadap program. Hasil dari penelitian diharapkan dapat memenuhi kekurangan yang selama ini PT. X butuhkan dalam mencatat apresiasi dan penghargaan karyawan secara terstruktur dan sistematis.
