Abstract. The availability of coherent time series of crop statistics is essential to better analyze the past, understand the present, and predict future trends in yield, area, and production. Importantly, such data also underpin assessments and subsequent policy actions that can shape future food systems that are more resilient in the face of climate change and sustainable in terms of resource use efficiency. In the European Union (EU), there currently is no legal obligation for EU countries to provide subnational crop statistics. Yet, such data could improve in-season crop forecasts, climate change impacts and adaption need assessments, and evaluation of agri-environmental schemes. The dataset described in this paper includes a harmonized collection of subnational crop statistics on area, production, and yield, collected for the EU from National Statistical Institutes (NSIs) and the Eurostat REGIO database – subnational crop statistics voluntarily contributed by EU countries. The crops considered are wheat (including soft and durum wheat), barley (including winter and spring barley), grain maize, sunflower and sugar beet. All data is harmonized towards the hierarchical structure of the Eurostat legend, and the regional classification of NUTS (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) version 2016, to provide coherent time series. A total of 344282 records is presented here (115974 for wheat, 122705 for barley, 35274 for grain maize, 34916 for sugar beet, and 35413 for sunflower) for a total of 961 regions in 27 EU countries. Statistics are reported from 1975 to 2020, with a median time spans range of 21 years. A flagging system details for each data record information on data sources, processing steps, and quality checking results. This includes consistency checks between reported values for area, yield and production, identification of null values, missing and calculated data, information on crop legend matching, and NUTS versioning. We illustrate the value of this dataset by analyzing impacts on crops and production zone shifts in Europe due to climatic and economic factors. Recommendations and future developments of collecting subnational statistics at EU level are briefly discussed.

Published: November 2023

Цель работы – выявить и дать оценку наиболее важным свойствам явления под названием «правовой суверенитет». Использовались метод системного анализа, историко-философский метод, формаль- но-юридический метод, философский метод идеализма. В статье исследованы представления некоторых оте- чественных и зарубежных авторов относительно данного явления, до сих пор не нашедшего достойного места в юридической науке. Особенно это касается современной политико-правовой практики, которая диктует свой понятийно-смысловой дискурс. В юридической науке категория «правовой суверенитет» должна быть напол- нена собственным смысловым содержанием как сложное политико-правовое свойство власти и государства, выражающееся в многообразии общественных отношений между государством и гражданами, государством и обществом, государством и государством на международной арене, государством и народом в связи с реализа- цией государственной власти. Выявлены общие свойства данного феномена. Значимость работы заключается в том, что в ней сформулированы теоретические положения, направленные на формирование полноценных представлений о правовом суверенитете и развитие данного свойства государствами в современных условиях.

The purpose of the work is to identify and evaluate the most important properties of the phenomenon under consideration called «legal sovereignty». The method of system analysis, the historical-philosophical method, the formal-legal method, the philosophical method of idealism were used. The article examines the views of some domestic and foreign authors regarding this phenomenon, which has not yet found its rightful place in legal science. This is especially true of modern political and legal practice, which dictates its own conceptual and semantic discourse. In legal science, the category of «legal sovereignty» should be filled with its own semantic content as a complex political and legal property of the government and the state, expressed in the diversity of public relations between the state and citizens, the state and society, the state and the state in the international arena, the state and the people in connection with the implementation of state power. The general properties of this phenomenon are revealed. The significance of the work lies in the fact that it formulates theoretical provisions aimed at forming full-fledged ideas about legal sovereignty and the development of this property by states in modern conditions.
Gut microbiota in pathophysiology, diagnosis, and therapeutics of inflammatory bowel disease
Authors: Pandey Himani , Jain Dheeraj , Tang Daryl W. T. , Wong Sunny H. , Lal Devi
Published: November 2023

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a multifactorial disease, which is thought to be an interplay between genetic, environment, microbiota, and immune-mediated factors. Dysbiosis in the gut microbial composition, caused by antibiotics and diet, is closely related to the initiation and progression of IBD. Differences in gut microbiota composition between IBD patients and healthy individuals have been found, with reduced biodiversity of commensal microbes and colonization of opportunistic microbes in IBD patients. Gut microbiota can, therefore, potentially be used for diagnosing and prognosticating IBD, and predicting its treatment response. Currently, there are no curative therapies for IBD. Microbiota-based interventions, including probiotics, prebiotics, synbiotics, and fecal microbiota transplantation, have been recognized as promising therapeutic strategies. Clinical studies and studies done in animal models have provided sufficient evidence that microbiota-based interventions may improve inflammation, the remission rate, and microscopic aspects of IBD. Further studies are required to better understand the mechanisms of action of such interventions. This will help in enhancing their effectiveness and developing personalized therapies. The present review summarizes the relationship between gut microbiota and IBD immunopathogenesis. It also discusses the use of gut microbiota as a noninvasive biomarker and potential therapeutic option.
Precision medicine in inflammatory bowel diseases

Published: November 2023

Inflammatory bowel diseases comprising Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis have emerged as global diseases. Multiple distinct therapeutic mechanisms have allowed us to increase our rates of achieving remission and reducing permanent disease-related morbidity. However, there is limited data to inform relative positioning of different therapies. This review will summarize existing literature on use of clinical decision models to inform relative efficacy of one therapeutic mechanism compared to the other given individual patient characteristics. It will also demonstrate the value of serologic, transcriptomic (from biopsies), and microbiome-based biomarkers in identifying which therapy is most likely to work for a given patient. We will review the existing gaps in the literature in this field and suggest a path forward for future studies to better inform patient care, incorporating the principles of precision medicine in the management of inflammatory bowel disease.

Published: November 2023

Background/Aims: Endoscopic activity confirmed by enteroscopy is associated with poor clinical outcome in Crohn’s disease (CD). We investigated which of the existing biomarkers best reflects endoscopic activity in CD patients including the small bowel, and whether their combined use can improve accuracy.Methods: One hundred and four consecutive patients with ileal and ileocolonic type CD who underwent balloon-assisted enteroscopy (BAE) from October 2021 to August 2022 were enrolled, with clinical and laboratory data prospectively collected and analyzed.Results: Hemoglobin, platelet count, C-reactive protein, leucine-rich alpha-2 glycoprotein (LRG), fecal calprotectin, and fecal hemoglobin all showed significant difference in those with ulcers found on BAE. LRG and fecal calprotectin showed the highest areas under the curve (0.841 and 0.853) for detecting ulcers. LRG showed a sensitivity of 78% and specificity of 80% at a cutoff value of 13 μg/mL, whereas fecal calprotectin showed a sensitivity of 91% and specificity of 67% at a cutoff value of 151 μg/g. Dual positivity for LRG and fecal calprotectin, as well as LRG and fecal hemoglobin, both predicted ulcers with an improved specificity of 92% and 100%. A positive LRG or fecal calprotectin/hemoglobin showed an improved sensitivity of 96% and 91%. Positivity for LRG and either of the fecal biomarkers was associated with increased risk of hospitalization, surgery, and relapse.Conclusions: The biomarkers LRG, fecal calprotectin, and fecal hemoglobin can serve as noninvasive and accurate tools for assessing activity in CD patients confirmed by BAE, especially when used in combination.

Published: November 2023

The pervasive adoption of Android in the smartphone market has attracted the attention of malicious actors who continually exploit its open system architecture. A number of cybercriminals have been targeting Android in recent times due to its popularity. As a result of the increasing demand for smartphones, malicious users have recently been drawn to Android and taken advantage of its open system design to commit crimes. As Android has grown in popularity, attackers have been targeting it more. It is possible to gain access to data hidden from view using algorithms even though security measures have been implemented. An Android malware detection system based on machine-deep learning has been developed by utilizing dynamic analysis, in which suspected malware is executed in a secure environment in order to observe its behavior, as well as static analysis, in which malware files are examined without being executed on an Android device. As a result of our experimental results, our suggested models have a higher accuracy rate than industry standards, with a static accuracy rate of 99 and a dynamic accuracy rate of 98 for CNN-LSTM

PROSPECTS FOR THE USE OF EUCALYPTUS BARK AS A STRUCTURE-FORMING MATERIAL FOR THERMAL INSULATION
Authors: BAKATOVICH A. , BAKATOVICH N. , OBROMPALSKY R. , GASPAR F.
Published: November 2023

The results of the study of eucalyptus bark fibers as a structure-forming material confirm the possibility of using such raw materials for the production of thermal insulation. With the help of an electron microscope, the microstructure of the bark and bark fibers was studied, which allows us to explain the mechanisms that ensure the thermal insulation properties of the fibers. Depending on the technological operations at the fiber preparation stage (mechanical grinding, cooking in ash solution, carbonation) and the use of a binder, the thermal conductivity coefficient of thermal insulation varies within 0,036–0,059 W/(m×°C) at a density of 80–220 kg/m3. Samples based on eucalyptus bark fibers demonstrate sufficient low sorption humidity for materials based on vegetable raw materials. At a relative humidity of 60%, sorption is 9,4–14,5%, and at a relative humidity of 97%, it reaches 21,6–38,5%. The samples also provide high resistance to the appearance of fungus on the fibers of the eucalyptus bark in a wet state, which indicates the durability of the structure-forming material during the operation of thermal insulation.

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is presented as a possible solution to the sustainability challenges posed by the concentration of population in cities. Despite the wide range of services that it incorporates and the fact that its adoption is associated with numerous benefits, its rate of use remains low. Therefore, the aim of our research is to identify the factors which explain the use of micromobility services. Since the adoption of mobility is a complex phenomenon whose explanation involves conditions at different levels, a model based on a multilevel perspective is applied to a sample of 48 cities in different parts of the world. The application of Qualitative Comparative Analysis and Necessary Conditions Analysis shows that there are no necessary conditions in kind for the use of micromobility services, although there are necessary conditions in degree. Likewise, the different combinations of conditions that explain the use, and denial, of the micromobility services are identified. The role played by satisfaction with public transport and the perception that traffic congestion is not a problem stand out in explaining the use, or denial, of micromobility services. There is a causal mechanism that shows how certain conditions trigger the use of micromobility services. MaaS operators should take advantage of existing synergies with different services in the mobility regime to try to encourage the adoption of their applications.

EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF ANTISCABIETIC AGENTS : A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Fitriana Ilma
Published: November 2023

Scabies is a contagious skin condition that is caused by a mite called Sarcoptes scabiei. This mite burrows into the skin and causes a severe itching sensation. Scabies can be spread either directly from person to person through scratching or indirectly through contact with contaminated surfaces or objects (fomites). Due to the fact that many people may only exhibit mild symptoms, accurate diagnosis of this ailment can be challenging at times. Scabies can be effectively treated with a variety of different medications. However, clinical trials comparing the efficacy of these treatments, in particular the available topical agents, are relatively few in number. As a consequence, prescribing practice varies greatly from country to country and is largely determined by factors such as the cost and availability of treatments as well as the individual preference of the treating physician. Permethrin, oral ivermectin, and synergized pyrethrins appeared to provide the best balance between these two outcomes compared to the other treatments. These three treatments were located closer to the right upper corner of the clustered ranking plot than the other treatments. On the other hand, the fact that the adverse events (AEs) that were reported in these trials were not serious adverse reactions (such as hospitalization or death) means that one could rationally give them less weight than the cure. Our study found that ivermectin and permethrin were the most effective treatments. The antiscabietic agents used in this study had few or manageable adverse effects, and the study did not find any severe adverse effects.
ACNE AND INSULIN RESISTANCE: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Authors: Fitriana Ilma
Published: November 2023

Acne is a skin disorder that is characterized by persistent inflammation and involves the folliculopilosebaceous unit. It has an impact on a sizeable portion of the general population. Acne affects a disproportionate number of females and teenagers, especially those between the ages of 15 and 24, who are most susceptible to the condition. In recent times, there has been seen to be a growing interest in the possible connection between acne and insulin resistance (IR). This attention has been seen, and it is appreciated. It would appear that IR has a strong connection to acne, which is a persistent skin condition that can lead to inflammation. Research has been conducted on a wide variety of etiopathological factors that have been associated with the progression of IR. It would appear that obesity is one of the most common. Additionally, it would appear that factors such as chronic inflammation, hypertriglyceridemia, low HDL serum concentration, mitochondrial dysfunction, gut microbiota, and the excess activity of antagonistic hormones such as cortisol, glucagon, and thyroid hormones all play a significant role in the development of this condition. We identified a linkage between insulin resistance and severe acne vulgaris, which was reported to have a positive link with insulin resistance. On the basis of these findings, it is a legitimate assumption to hypothesize that medications that are now utilized for the treatment of insulin resistance would also be helpful for the treatment of severe acne vulgaris.

Published: November 2023

Introducción: en los pacientes con neurofibromatosis tipo 1 (NF!) la prevalencia de feocromocitoma es alta. El riesgo de tener feocromocitoma es 10 veces mayor que en la población general.
Objetivo: describir el caso de un paciente con patologías poco frecuentes que requiere del concurso de expertos para su manejo previo y para el seguimiento después de la cirugía.
Presentación del caso: paciente masculino de 38 años con antecedente de NF1, evaluado por 4 meses de cefalea, dolor abdominal e hipertensión arterial de difícil control. Se hace diagnóstico de feocromocitoma y se define adrenalectomía con hospitalización perioperatoria para control de cifras tensionales con alfa y beta bloqueadores.
Discusión: el manejo del feocromocitoma es la resección quirúrgica. Para el procedimiento quirúrgico los pacientes deben recibir bloqueo alfa por lo menos 10 días antes del procedimiento y betabloqueadores 3 días antes. Las crisis de catecolaminas pueden ocurrir en un intraoperatorio por estrés mecánico del tumor al ser manipulado, y estrés psicológico y por medicamentos.
Conclusión: el tratamiento quirúrgico es la elección y se debe realizar por un grupo interdisciplinario para garantizar un adecuado control de las cifras tensionales en el perioperatorio y así evitar complicaciones.
Investors’ Biases & Stock Return Volatility: A Systematic Literature Review
Authors: Anam Qamar  , Dr. Afaq Ahmed Kazi
Published: November 2023

Purpose:
Literature is scarce on the possible relationship between investors’ biases, risk tolerance attitude, and stock return volatility. The researcher investigated what are the investor biases, and how they contribute to the risk-averse and risk-seeking attitudes and developed a taxonomy model of investors’ biases in the form of a causal framework that impacts stock return volatility.
Methodology:
The study employs a systematic literature review approach. The analysis of literature includes 65 articles from impact factor journals including three seminal papers in the fields of traditional and behavioral finance. The time frame ranges from 2008 to 2022.
Findings:
The findings suggest that investors encounter certain biases such as cognitive, emotional, cultural, religious, financial, macroeconomic, demographic, etc. Literature has identified positive, negative, and mixed impacts of investors' biases on stock return volatility. The systematic analysis of literature helps in identifying recently evolving biases such as individualism, uncertainty avoidance, a religious adherence, investor mood, weather bias, fear sentiments, sports sentiments, power distance, masculinity, social media sentiments so on and so forth.
Conclusion:
The study has proposed an integrated taxonomy model comprised of possible investors’ biases as independent variables along with mediating, controlling, and moderating variables that impact stock return volatility. Moreover, investors’ risk tolerance profile is also constructed which indicates the role of behavioral biases in shaping investors’ attitudes as risk seekers and risk-averse.

Authors: Uçar Eyyüp Hakan , Peker Cevdet
Published: November 2023

The aim of the presented study is to investigate the effect of providing progesterone (P4) support for the formation and maintenance of pregnancy or suppressing the luteolysis mechanism during the maternal acceptance process on pregnancy rates. For this purpose, 96 Holstein cows, aged between 2 and 8 years, were synchronized using the Ovsynch protocol to align their estrous cycles. After artificial insemination, the cows were divided into four groups. The group receiving Human Chorionic Gonadotropn (hCG) on the 6th day after artificial insemination (H; n=20), the group receiving Ketoprofen on the evening of the 15th day and the morning of the 16th day after artificial insemination (K; n=24), the group receiving both hCG on the 6th day and Ketoprofen on the 15th day evening and 16th day morning after artificial insemination (HK; n=25), and the control group (C; n=27) that did not receive any post-insemination treatment were established. Pregnancy checks were conducted on the 30th, 45th, and 60th days through rectal and ultrasonographic (USG) examinations. According to the results of the pregnancy examinations, it was determined that 9 out of 20 cows (45.00%) in Group H, 10 out of 24 cows (41.67%) in Group K, 16 out of 25 cows (64.00%) in Group HK, and 12 out of 27 cows (44.44%) in Group C were pregnant. No statistically significant difference (P>0.05) was observed among the groups. Our results suggest that a multi-purpose treatment may be required to reduce pregnancy loss during the early pregnancy period in cows due to an approximately 20% increased pregnancy rate after administering hCG and Ketoprofen. However, further studies, especially involving more cows, are necessary to optimize and use these combined treatments and potentially increase pregnancy rates.

Reducing the environmental impact of residues generated by the Brazilian agroindustry can be achieved through the utilization of sugarcane bagasse, a biomass resource widely employed. However, this biomass's high moisture content results in low energy production efficiency. The conversion of sunlight into thermal energy using Concentrated Solar Energy (CSE) has emerged as an efficient alternative for the sugarcane bagasse drying process. In this study, we propose to experimentally evaluate and numerically simulate, employing the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the ABAQUS software, a solar concentrator receiver utilized in the drying process. The methodology employed comprises two modeling phases: an experimental phase, wherein two solar concentrators were constructed within a metallic structure, each with distinct surface areas and a panel of adjustable flat mirrors designed to focus solar radiation on a central point—the reactor. Experiments were conducted involving water, sugarcane bagasse, and reactor characterization. Subsequently, a numerical modeling phase was carried out, analyzing two scenarios: a stationary one and a transient one accounting for temperature variations over time. FEM simulations were conducted using the ABAQUS program. The results obtained from the experiments underscore the significance of radiation reaching the reactor as the primary factor in achieving the required efficiency for drying sugarcane bagasse. This finding was corroborated by the numerical simulations, which considered thermal gradients and thermal stress.

Novel concepts of co-pulsatile cardiac support: innovation and valorization
Authors: van Dort Daniël
Published: November 2023

The heart pumps an average of 5 liters of blood per minute through the human body, which amounts to a total of more than 150 million liters of blood over a lifetime; more than 70 times the volume of an Olympic swimming pool. When the blood circulation is disrupted, for example, due to heart failure, this can have serious consequences for the body's health. This can occur both suddenly (acute cardiogenic shock) and gradually over a longer period (chronic heart failure). There are techniques available to support blood circulation, such as temporary heart support through a catheter in the blood vessel or permanent support through a surgically implanted device. Part 1 of this thesis investigates the effects and limitations of the current market leader in blood circulation support, the Impella®, and then explores the potential benefits of a new technique: co-pulsatile mechanical support. Part 2 describes how such an innovation can be implemented in practice, the valorization, and how intellectual property can be protected.
The Impact of Incentives on Employee Productivity: Review of Past Literatures
Authors: Ibrahim Irmohizam , Abiddin Norhasni Zainal
Published: November 2023

Employee productivity is a key component of an organization's success and expansion. The use of incentives can greatly improve staff motivation and productivity. This study aims to explore how incentives affect workers' productivity. It will examine the relationship between incentives and productivity, as well as the impact that various incentives have on productivity outcomes. It also emphasizes how crucial incentives are for boosting employee motivation and increasing productivity in businesses. Incentives can come in a variety of forms, including cash payments, bonuses, accolades, and non-cash benefits. The type and form of incentives, work happiness, motivation, and job design are only a few examples of the variables that influence the relationship between incentives and productivity. Employees should view incentive programmers as fair and equitable, and they should be routinely reviewed and altered based on feedback and performance statistics. Effective incentive programs should also be in line with organizational goals. According to the past studies, incentives have a favorable effect on worker productivity across a range of sectors and situations. In general, incentives have a substantial impact on employee productivity and organizational performance. To maximize the impact of incentives, organizations should properly plan and manage their incentive programs.

Authors: Farrah Jason P. , Zirgibel Brian J. , Worts Phillip R. , Zapata Carlos A. , Wong Andrew M.
Published: November 2023

Simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon ruptures are a rare occurrence commonly associated with a traumatic event or systemic disease. A 31-year-old man presented with simultaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon ruptures with associated hyperparathyroidism secondary to parathyroid carcinoma. The injury occurred after the patient attempted to lift a small wooden log from the ground. We discussed the multidisciplinary management of this patient resulting in bilateral quadriceps tendon repairs, tumor resection, and oncological and endocrinological restoration. Clinical follow-up is reported at 15 years after surgery. Parathyroid carcinoma is an extremely rare cancer and rarely the cause of hyperparathyroidism. The systemic effects of the tumor eventually lead to the rupturing of both quadriceps tendons. Orthopaedic physicians must remain vigilant in identifying the root cause of injuries that are atypical in nature.

Introduction:

The purpose of this study was to determine how the Limb Deformity–Modified Scoliosis Research Society (LD-SRS) and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) questionnaire scores differ between patients with femoral version abnormalities and healthy control subjects.

Methods:

A retrospective database review identified patients with femoral version abnormalities between December 2018 and September 2022. A total of 21 adult patients scheduled for femoral derotational osteotomy and 33 control subjects were included. All individuals completed the LD-SRS and PROMIS questionnaires.

Results:

Patients with femoral version abnormalities reported significantly worse scores than control subjects on all LD-SRS and PROMIS domains: LD-SRS (Total [3.46 ± 0.66 vs. 4.58 ± 0.37, P < 0.001]; Function/Activity [3.48 ± 0.83 vs. 4.44 ± 0.4, P < 0.001]; Mental Health [3.41 ± 0.96 vs. 4.3 ± 0.73, P < 0.001]; Pain [3.55 ± 0.9 vs. 4.81 ± 0.31, P < 0.001]; and Self-Image/Appearance [3.37 ± 0.79 vs. 4.75 ± 0.43, P < 0.001]) and PROMIS (Function [41.6 ± 7.58 vs. 60.0 ± 7.28, P < 0.001]; Pain Intensity [45.85 ± 8.04 vs. 33.7 ± 4.89, P < 0.001]; Pain Interference [56.78 ± 9.63 vs. 42.8 ± 6.6, P < 0.001]; Global Mental Health [47.97 ± 9.68 vs. 55.3 ± 7.81, P = 0.004]; and Global Physical Health [45.23 ± 7.49 vs. 58.2 ± 7.07, P < 0.001]).

Discussion:

Patients with femoral version abnormalities reported markedly worse quality of life as measured on the LD-SRS and PROMIS scores compared with healthy control subjects. The combination of these two surveys effectively captures the multifaceted quality-of-life–deficit individuals with excessive femoral version may experience.
