La labor del gabinete de comunicación en las Instituciones
Authors: García Fernández Maria Dolores , Castillo-Esparcia Antonio
Published: December 2023

En la sociedad actual, las Instituciones Públicas deben trasladar una imagen sólida, creíble y coherente y por eso desarrollan campañas de comunicación de distinta naturaleza y objetivos como medio de relación con los ciudadanos (De las Heras, Ruiz Mora y Paniagua-Rojano, 2018: 65). Almansa (2005:131) explica que tareas como las relaciones con el entorno y la comunidad, las relaciones institucionales son “tareas propias de las relaciones públicas que conforman el quehacer diario del gabinete de comunicación actual”. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar si el Gabinete de Comunicación de la Casa Real ha segmentado de manera proactiva a los ciudadanos y asignado la gestión de distintos actos oficiales a cada uno de sus miembros. Se han elegido dos periodos de las dos Jefaturas de Estado, representadas por el rey Juan Carlos I (2011-12) y el Rey Felipe VI (2021-22) con el fin de establecer una comparativa en la gestión de sus públicos. Hemos analizado el número de actos públicos oficiales de cada miembro de la Familia Real recogidos a través de www.casareal.es a través de una ficha de análisis con las variables: miembro de la Familia Real, número de actos, tipología o naturaleza de los actos. En total, se han analizado 1.376 actos oficiales. Este análisis se ha completado con una entrevista en profundidad a D. Javier Ayuso, ex jefe de comunicación de la Casa de SM el Rey. Como resultados principales, el jefe de Estado está centrado en actos de carácter institucional, empresarial, defensa y relaciones internacionales, la reina en actos culturales, de solidaridad y salud y las Infantas formación e innovación y deporte. El gabinete de Comunicación de la Casa Real configura una especie de Agenda Setting para trasladar una imagen cercana y sólida de la Institución a sus públicos y trata de lograr su aceptación

Published: December 2023

"Protocolo Oficial Internacional" de Julio Manuel Panizo Alonso se presenta como una obra necesaria y única en su género que desafía las convenciones al abordar el protocolo desde una perspectiva jurídica e internacional. En esta reseña, no solo exploraremos la estructura detallada del libro, sino también resaltar su singularidad en relación con otras publicaciones que con una terminología similar a menudo se centran en la cortesía y las buenas maneras en el ámbito internacional, sin profundizar en el verdadero protocolo oficial que queda relegado del contenido de las publicaciones.
Compilation of an open-source traffic and CO2 emissions dataset for commercial aviation
Authors: Salgas Antoine , Sun Junzi , Delbecq Scott , Planès Thomas , Lafforgue Gilles
Published: December 2023

The study of the environmental transition of the aviation sector calls for prospective traffic scenarios.Detailed traffic and emissions inventories are often needed to refine the available analyses and to enablethe simulation of regionalised scenarios. In the past studies, these are generally based on commercial,proprietary traffic data, making their dissemination problematic and reducing the reproducibility of thescience produced. Open-source alternatives do exist, but with limited geographical coverage. This paperpresents a method to aggregate different sources of flight information, in order to obtain an open-sourceair traffic dataset for 2019. Then, missing flight information is identified and completed using an airlineroute database built from Wikipedia parsing and related socio-economic data. After that, several referencedatasets are used to evaluate the accuracy of the extended open-source dataset. Despite varying accuracyfor different routes, major traffic flows are reasonably well estimated at the country and continental levels.Finally, the CO2 emissions are obtained using an existing aircraft performance surrogate model, and theaccuracies are examined compared to the results from previous studies.

Funding is the life wire of all organizations, and adult education is no
exception. Adult education involves many spheres of learning activities and indeed is
eclipsing formal education in Nigeria because it provides learning activities for the
young and old. It has metamorphosed into an unimaginable degree because learners are
involved in lifelong education, nomadic education, distance learning, literacy education
and linkages in its non -formal nature. This paper is posed to investigate the issues
militating against the funding of adult education and predict ways of repositioning the
funding of this sector. The paper will attempt to recommend panacea to solving the
funding of this sector.

            Technology Adeyemi Federal University of Education Ondo, Abidoye James Alabi
Published: December 2023

This study examines preservice teachers’ attitude towards the use of e-portfolio
in colleges of education in Oyo State. The sample population consisted of 320 preservice
teachers randomly selected from the only two public colleges of education in Oyo State.
The instrument used was the researcher’s self-developed questionnaire titled ‘Preservice
Teachers’ Attitude Towards the Use of E-portfolio Questionnaire (PTATUEQ). Face and
content validity of the research instrument were carried out by two experts in tests and
measurement from the Department of Educational Foundation and Counseling Adeyemi Federal
University of Education Ondo. The reliability coefficient of 0.84 using Cronbach Alpha
technique was obtained and the value was considered substantially high enough to justify
the use of the instrument. The data obtained was analyzed using mean score and standard
deviation for answering the research questions while Pearson’s product moment
correlation was used for testing the hypotheses respectively. The findings revealed
amongst others that; preservice teachers in colleges of education have positive attitude
towards e-portfolio mean rating of 2.76, using 2.45 as the decision rule. It was also
revealed in the study that preservice teachers have high level of utilization of
e-portfolio with the mean rating of 2.85, using 2.45 as the decision rule. The study
also revealed that there was a strong or positive relationship between attitude and
utilization of e-portfolio among preservice teachers in colleges of education The study
therefore recommends that preservice teachers in colleges of education should be more
encouraged to developed positive attitude and use of e-portfolio through appropriate
training and worships

In der letzten Woche erschien hier ein Text mit dem unterstützenswerten Anliegen, auf die Problematik von Ethics-Washing in der Diskussion um die Regulierung Künstlicher Intelligenz und Datenschutz hinzuweisen. Wir meinen, dass dazu andere Fragen gestellt werden müssen, als diejenigen, die der Beitrag aufwirft, und zweitens die angesprochenen Aspekte differenziert werden sollten. Angesichts zahlreicher legislativer Desiderate des KI-Verordnungsvorschlags und des nicht abgeschlossenen Gesetzgebungsprozesses sind diese Diskussionen zu Grundlagen von Technologie-Regulierung aktuell auch dringend geboten. Wir plädieren dafür, Ethik und Werte nicht als Gegensätze zu einer demokratischen Gesetzgebung zu verstehen, sondern als notwendige Komponenten einer informierten regulatorischen Debatte.
Escaping Jurisdictional Blackholes
Authors: Spaventa Eleanor
Published: December 2023

There is a lack of effective judicial protection in the field of EU Common Foreign and Security Policy. In a recent opinion, AG Ćapeta has suggested that the solution rests with asserting the possibility of establishing the non-contractual liability of the EU for breach of fundamental rights in CFSP cases, regardless of whether the measure imposes restrictions. However, the Council also has a positive duty stemming from the Charter to include a jurisdictional clause in all CFSP measures indicating the national court which has jurisdiction in those cases.
Die Staatsanwaltschaft in der Versammlung

Published: December 2023

Die Staatsanwaltschaft Wuppertal hat nach Berichten in den sozialen Medien einen Staatsanwalt in eine Großdemonstration am 11.11.2023 entsandt, um mit einem Dolmetscher durch die Versammlung zu gehen und die strafrechtliche Relevanz von Parolen zu prüfen. Die Präsenz auf einer Versammlung in Amtsfunktion ist keinesfalls (verfassungsrechtlich) unproblematisch. Das Vorgehen der Wuppertaler Behörden hätte einer Ermächtigungsgrundlage bedurft, doch halten weder die Versammlungsgesetze noch die Strafprozessordnung eine solche bereit. Diese Maßnahme der Verfolgungsvorsorge entpuppt sich bei genauer Analyse als strafprozessual unzulässige strategische Überwachung aufgrund eines Generalverdachts, deren Ziel mit milderen Maßnahmen auf gesetzlicher Grundlage erreicht werden kann.

A Comparative Study of 64-Slice Coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) and Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) in the Identification of Coronary Artery Stenosis
Authors: Li Bin , Dandan Wu
Published: December 2023

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the diagnostic accuracy of 64-Slice Coronary Computer Tomography Angiography (CCTA) and Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) in the identification of significant coronary artery stenosis (>50% luminal narrowing). Methods: A total of 120 patients suspected of having coronary artery disease were divided into two groups, with 60 patients in each group. Group 1 underwent CCTA and group 2 underwent MPI. Diagnostic accuracy parameters, image quality, radiation exposure, and procedure time were compared. Results: CCTA demonstrated higher sensitivity (90% vs. 80%, p = 0.049) and similar specificity (75% vs. 70%, p = 0.453) compared to MPI. Image quality was slightly superior in the CCTA group. Radiation exposure was significantly lower in the CCTA group compared to the MPI group (3.5 ± 1.2 mSv vs. 9.4 ± 1.7 mSv, p < 0.001). The procedure time for CCTA was also significantly less than that for MPI (10.3 ± 2.1 minutes vs. 45.2 ± 5.3 minutes, p < 0.001). Conclusion: CCTA showed superior sensitivity, image quality, and efficiency compared to MPI while exposing patients to a lower radiation dose. Further multicenter studies with larger patient populations are needed to validate these findings.

Published: December 2023

Background: Readmissions following acute type A aortic dissections (ATAAD) are associated with potentially worse clinical outcomes and increased hospital costs. Predicting which patients are at risk for readmission may guide patient management prior to discharge. Methods: The National Readmissions Database was utilized to identify patients treated for ATAAD between 2010 and 2018. Univariate mixed effects logistic regression was used to assess each variable. Variables were assigned risk points based off the bootstrapped (bias-corrected) odds ratio of the final variable model according to the Johnson's scoring system. A mixed effect logistic regression was run on the risk score (sum of risk points) and 30-day readmission. Calibration plots and predicted readmission curves were generated for model assessment. Results: A total of 30,727 type A aortic dissections were identified. The majority of ATAAD (66%) were in men with a median age of 61 years and 30-day readmission rate of 19.4%. The risk scores ranging from –1 to 14 mapped to readmission probabilities between 3.5% and 29% for ATAAD. The predictive model showed good calibration and receiver operator characteristics with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.81. Being a resident of the hospital state (OR: 2.01 [1.64, 2.47], p < 0.001) was the highest contributor to readmissions followed by chronic kidney disease (1.35 [1.16, 1.56], p = 0), discharge to a short-term facility (1.31 [1.09, 1.57], p = 0.003), and developing a myocardial infarction (1.20 [1.00, 1.45], p = 0.048). Conclusions: The readmission model had good predictive capability given by the large AUC. Being a resident in the State of the index admission was the most significant contributor to readmission.
STUDYING THE PROSPECTS OF APPLYING INTRAGASTRIC COCKTAILS OF DIFFERENT GAS COMPOSITIONS WITH LICORICE ROOT PREPARATIONS FOR COVID-19 ON AN EXPERIMENTAL MODEL OF IMMUNOPATHOLOGY CAUSED BY GAMMA IRRADIATION OF ANIMALS
Authors: Starokozhko Leonid , Shevchenko Aleksandr
Published: December 2023

This article is devoted to the results of an experimental study, the purpose of which was to clarify the mechanisms of action on the immune system of intragastric cocktails of different gas compositions (oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen), including in combination with licorice root preparations, with the subsequent prospect of use at different stages of rehabilitation of patients after COVID-19. The experimental model was male Wistar rats, whose acute external gamma irradiation causes a state of immunopathology similar to COVID-19. The data obtained indicated the presence of immunological correction effects under the influence of the studied agents. Moreover, it was noted that in cases of violations of the cellular component of immunity, preference should be given to nitrogen as a dispersion medium and carbon dioxide as a humoral medium, while the immunosuppressive effect is caused by cocktails with oxygen. Thus, it has been established that intragastric cocktails of different compositions differ from each other in the characteristics of the reactions that occur to their use, which in the future can be used at different stages of rehabilitation of patients with COVID-19 and for preventive purposes in the interpandemic period as differentiated methods of immunological correction. This requires additional clinical studies in accordance with the principles of evidence-based medicine.

This research aims to determine the success of implementing the donation-based crowdfunding system in donation applications. This research will be carried out using a quantitative approach. Researchers will carry out observations and questionnaires using accidental sampling to ask respondents to answer questions that have been created in the form of a Google Form link. Researchers collected samples using the purposive sampling method. 100 people were used as respondents in this research. SmartPLS was used to carry out inferential data processing. In accordance with the results of the analysis discussion, it can be concluded that the variables in the UTAUT and EUCS models that are proven to have a positive and significant influence in measuring the level of success in implementing the donation-based crowdfunding system in applications are accuracy, content, facilitating conditions, performance expectancy, price value, social influence, user satisfaction, behavioral intention, and use behavior. Meanwhile, the effort expectancy and perceived credibility variables were proven to have no positive or significant effect in this research. Based on data analysis, the biggest variable that influences the level of success in implementing the donation-based crowdfunding system in applications is the behavioral intention variable towards use behavior. The second variable that has the most influence is performance expectancy on perceived credibility. Meanwhile, the other variable is user satisfaction with behavioral intention. From the results of the data processing that has been carried out, the variable that has the smallest influence on the level of success in implementing the donation-based crowdfunding system in the application is effort expectancy on behavioral intention. Next is the variable perceived credibility on behavioral intention.

Theksi vihet mbi rivalitetet fetare ndërmjet Kishës së Romës në Perëndim dhe Kishës së Rumit në Lindje në kontekstin politik të sundimit otoman, si dhe mbi politikat e ndryshme të ungjillëzimit katolik e ortodoks, në zonat e influencës respektive në Shqipërinë e Veriut dhe të Jugut. Në veçanti argumentohet se si motivimet kontradiktore të imperializmit ekleziastik dhe të politikave të ndryshme të përdorimit të gjuhës në shërbesat kishtare dhe në arsimin shkollor, kanë luajtur dashur padashur një rol kufindarës që ka shërbyer për riorganizimin social të ndryshimeve gjuhësore e kulturore, veçanërisht midis të krishterëve ortodoksë greqishtfolës dhe shqipfolës.

Ky artikull synon të analizojë proceset politike të ndodhura në vendin tonë, në periudhën 1945-1949, duke u fokusuar në disa prej ngjarjeve më të rëndësishme. Mbarimi i luftës dhe rindërtimi i vendit do të hapë një kapitull të ri për shoqërinë shqiptare dhe institucionet e saj. Regjimi i ri komunist, ndryshe nga paraardhësit e tij, do të ketë një qasje të re me komunitetet fetare në vend. Një nga aspektet më të vështira në marrëdhëniet e kishës me shtetin komunist, ishte ajo me natyrë ekonomike. Pas çlirimit, shteti kreu reforma të thella në lëmin ekonomik, ndër të cilat Reforma Agrare ishte më e rëndësishmja. Nga ana tjetër, reforma arsimore solli shtetëzimin e të gjitha shkollave private në vend e për konsekuencë të të vetmit seminar fetar ortodoks. Viti 1948 përfaqëson një tjetër moment të rëndësishëm në zhvillimet e brendshme të shtetit dhe shoqërisë, forcimin e marrëdhënieve me Bashkimin Sovjetik. Në rrugën e kontrollit dhe të mobilizimit të institucioneve fetare akti më i rëndësishëm i qeverisë shqiptare ishte shpallja e dekretligjit nr. 743, datë 26 nëntor 1949.

Tae Wan Kim: Artificial Intelligence in the workplace, through an ethical lens
Authors: A. Resendez, Elva
Published: December 2023

Artificial intelligence today continues to assimilate into our modern service industry occupations such as business, economics and health care. It is predicted that AI will continue to develop exponentially as a business staple and will follow a similar path to The Internet and Social Media in terms of growth opportunities and also the criticality to business. The concern for many, including Dr. Tae Wan Kim, associate professor of ethics at Carnegie Mellon University, is how the ethics of AI will affect individuals and society. In his recent book review, Machines Like Me, Kim writes on the varied ethical systems potentially used in AI training as he discusses the character development of the text. Whether a deontological approach or a consequentialist approach, AI is only as good as the training and the data provided. In this interview he says that to really address ethics issues in AI, much more funding should be given to moral philosophy and applied ethics.
THE ROLE OF PATHOGENETIC MECHANISMS IN FORMATION OF PATHOLOGY CENTRAL NEVROUS SYSTEM OF PERINATAL THE PERIOD OF THE PRIMARY CHILDREN
Authors: Asadova Т.А.
Published: December 2023

The article deals with pathogenetic mechanisms in the formation of pathology of the perinatal period in premature infants. Their role in the emergence of both hypoxic and inflammatory processes in premature infants. According to literature data for the last few years, the brain of a premature baby is not a perfect system for protecting against the onset of hypoxic and inflammatory processes. In the article the characteristic features of the structure of the brain of premature infants are shown, depending on the gestational age, in a comparative aspect with the term infants. It is believed that the infectious and non-infectious pathological processes occurring in the fetoplacental system directly affect the embryonic development of the fetus, resulting in the pathological effect most often affected by the brain.

This article presents a systematic literature review of current issues in patients with cerebral palsy and epilepsy. Epilepsy in children with cerebral palsy is characterized by earlier onset, a low frequency of generalized seizures, as well as the use of several antiepileptic drugs and intractable epilepsy. The combination of cerebral palsy and epilepsy has a negative impact on the prognosis of diseases: increase the risk of motor, cognitive and speech dysfunctions as well as intellectual disability due to the hazard of provocative attacks or the seizure frequency and the index of epileptiform disorders. Also, epilepsy in cerebral palsy may complicate the recovery of patients and leads to an aggravation of the epileptic process, being one of the factors of resistance to antiepileptic drugs. Cerebral palsy and epilepsy, as a common causes of childhood disability, have negative social consequences, reducing the quality of life of patients and their families. In order to determine the risk of epilepsy debut in children with cerebral palsy at early ages is important for optimizing its management. Thus, in children with cerebral palsy, a wide range of epilepsy forms are observed: such as severe forms at early onset with mental retardation, frequent attacks (West syndrome), as well as benign forms with later onset, rare attacks with no impact on intelligence. There is currently insufficient data about the prevalence of epileptic syndrome in patients with cerebral palsy, factors contributing to its increase, seizures onset age, the effect of cerebral palsy on the manifestation of epilepsy, the prognosis and optimal treatment approaches. This review indicates the relevance of studying epilepsy in patients with cerebral palsy and require further researches.

Arterial hypertension (AH) is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Recently, to study atherosclerotic lesions of the arteries and obtain more accurate information about the volume and extent of their damage, ultrasound (US) is widely used. Information about the intima-media complex thickening, determined using ultrasound, help in predicting heart attack and stroke. Given the urgency of this problem, the purpose of the present article was to determine the intima-media complex thickening in patients with hypertension and to evaluate the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy. Materials and methods of the study. The study was conducted in the II neurological department of the Republican Clinical Hospital named after Academician M.Mirgasimov. The study included 60 hypertensive patients at the age of 50-80 years, of which 34 were women and 26 were men. The average age of men was 66.2±15.9 years, and women - 67.1±14.8 years, the duration of hypertension - 15.6±4.9 years. Results. The study showed that 51 patients with AH (86.6±5.6%) had atherosclerotic lesions of the carotid arteries (intima-media complex thickening was >0.9 mm). Diffuse intima-media complex thickening (>1.3) was detected in more than half of AH patients – 31 people (52.6±4.8%). The history of hypertension had its effect on the intima-media complex thickening. With the duration of hypertension up to 1 year, there was an unreliable intima-media complex thickening (1.0±0.2 mm). With the duration of hypertension more than 5 years, the increase in intima-media complex thickening was more pronounced – 1.24±1.1 mm. With an AH of more than 10 years, the intima- media complex thickening was 1.3±1.4 mm. Correlation analysis demonstrated a high correlation between the intima-media complex thickening and the duration of arterial hypertension (r=0.203). Conclusion. Intima-media complex thickening in patients with AH on the background of antihypertensive therapy being conducted indicates its inefficiency, which significantly increases cardiovascular risk. In patients with combined pathology, significant changes in the common carotid artery are more pronounced only in comparison with patients with hypertension. In patients with diabetes mellitus type 2 and hypertension, risk factors such as the duration of diabetes, glycemia, visceral obesity, high-density lipoproteins decreasing, have a significant effect on the increasing in intima-media complex thickening.
