Authors:   Education Leadership Consultancy, Budgell Phil
Published: July 2023

In this article, the author argues for an open and transparent use of data that already exists but is not collected, collated and analysed within the education system in Bulgaria. This data needs to become Key Performance Indicators that will drive up: – the Quality of Education; and – the Standards of Achievement. The author focusses on the relationship between: – Input Variables (Prior Attainment and Delegated Financial Resources); – Intervening Variables (Patterns of Expenditure) and – Output Variable (Attendance, Standards of Attainment and Post-school Participation). With one exception, real data is collated, analysed and presented using a range of algebraic and graphical approaches. Finally, the author concludes that with greater subsidiarity (i.e., greater delegation of responsibility, authority and accountability); the greater the need for reliable and valid assessment data to hold the education system to account at school, regional and national level.

User-information Communication in Libraries as a Model of Behavior: Traditions and New Manifestations
Authors: Козарева Боряна
Published: July 2023

Abstract: The purpose of the article is to trace the development of user-information communication in line with the development of information and communication technologies. Our environment is a factor that influences the behavior patterns of library users. The rapid introduction of artificial intelligence poses new challenges to both users and libraries, because the model of communication is changing and moving to a new type of services and resources. The adaptation of models in accordance with new trends shows the evolution of the environment and the user. By following these models and applying them in practice, a better communication of the user with the information mediated by the services and resources offered by the libraries is achieved. The new conditions of the information environment in which libraries must work pose a number of challenges, the solution of which they must find and offer to their users. The paper analyzes changes in behavior in traditional situations as well as in crisis situations such as the corona virus pandemic. Generalizations are drawn in order to identify contemporary processes and phenomena in the behavior of users in libraries when analyzing Chat GPT, software, algorithms, artificial intelligence. Key words: information, user, library, communication model, information behavior model, Chat GPT.

Published: July 2023

The global economic crisis had a great impact on the banking sector. The confidence of depositors in the functioning of the system that should provide them with security has been completely damaged. One of the ways to overcome these crises is the deposit insurance system. The global economic crisis has also significantly affected the Serbian economy. Deposit insurance was first introduced into Serbian legal system in 2005 with the adoption of the Law on Deposit Insurance. It was changed twice until the adoption of the current Law from 2015, whose amendments were made twice, primarily in order to harmonize with EU regulations. In the first part, the author deals with the development, importance of the deposit insurance system and moral hazard, while in the second part author analyses the regulation of deposit insurance system in the legislation of the Republic of Serbia and the degree of harmonization with EU regulations.

A period of probation can be established during the employment process with the aim to determine whether the employees have the right skills and qualifications for the job they have been offered. A negative outcome of the probation period, or the employer’s evaluation that the employee does not meet the required standards, may result in termination of the employment contract. However, in case the employee has the correct skills for the job, the employment contract may be extended after the period of probation has ended. The uncertainty of the probation period (and survival of the employment status), together with the more common practice of abusing the employer’s assessment authority, require that employees should be provided with adequate protection during the period of assessment of their work performance.
Ugovor o hipoteci i založna izjava kao izvršne isprave
Authors:   Privredni apelacioni sud, Srbija, Nikolić Mladen
Published: July 2023

This article concerns a mortgage contract and a pledge statement as specific enforceable documents prescribed by The Law on Mortgage, but also by The Law on Enforcement and Security Interest. These enforceable documents, whose form and content are regulated in detail by The Law on Mortgage, give a creditor the opportunity to simultaneously secure a monetary claim and gain an enforceable document which will be, when a claim is due, the basis for the satisfaction of the claim in legally prescribed out-of-court or so-called judicial proceedings. The author explained that, in his opinion, a mortgage contract and a pledge statement do not need a certificate of enforceability, because enforceability of these enforceable documents is usually established by their content, and it is important that the monetary claim is due. A lawsuit can be brought against the enforceable documents and certain court cases are also mentioned. A creditor can choose to satisfy his claim according to the rules prescribed by The Law on Mortgage or by The Law on Enforcement and Security Interest, but there is a deadline for making that choice.
Saobraznost robe sa digitalnim elementima prema Direktivi (EU) 2019/771
Authors:   Pravni fakultet Univerziteta u Kragujevcu, Vujičić Jovan
Published: July 2023

The article analyses the provisions of Directive (EU) 2019/771 on certain aspects concerning contracts for the sale of goods which govern the concept of goods with digital elements, requirements for conformity and the liability of the seller for non-conformity, including the associated time limits and the applicable burden of proof. The changes and additions compared to the previous rules are particularly highlighted, which is of special importance considering that this Directive has not been implemented in the law of the Republic of Serbia. Defining goods with digital elements and digital services, then new explicit criteria for durability, functionality, compatibility and interoperability, the obligation to provide updates necessary for goods with digital elements to remain conform, as well as a change in the approach to determining the time relevant for assessing conformity when digital content or digital service delivered continuously over a period of time, constitute significant advantages in the context of increased digitalization of consumer goods. The novelty is also the separation of requirements for conformity into subjective and objective ones, although, in terms of content, this has not fundamentally changed the previous legal regime.

This paper analyses the regulations of the Republic of Serbia, as well as the opinions of jurisprudence on the criteria for selection of an economic operator in the public procurement procedure. The term economic operator is defined as any person or group of persons offering supplies, services or works on the market. It is pointed out that the term „economic operator“ encompasses not only physical and legal entities but non-statutory forms of organizations as well, such as consortiums or joint ventures. In this paper were analyzed methods of determining and types of criteria for selection of an economic operator. In addition, this paper considers criteria, which relates to the financial and economic capacity, with which is secured that economic operators possess financial and economic capability to perform a public procurement contract. These criteria are determined based on a certain minimum income, ratios between assets and liabilities, or another financial indicator, and on an appropriate level of professional risk indemnity insurance.
Local Power: Chairman's Hometown Identity and Enterprise ESG Performance
Authors: Zhang Zhiqin
Published: July 2023

Based on the data of senior executives of Shanghai and Shenzhen A-share listed companies from 2008 to 2021, this paper constructs the hometown identity of the chairman and empirically tests its impact on the performance of ESG. The study finds that the chairman's hometown identity can positively promote the firm's ESG performance.,  This paper explores the moderating effects of hometown identity and firm ESG performance from the perspective of online media attention and financing constraints. The results show that the companies with low online media attention and high financing constraints tend to have poor ESG performance, and the chairman's hometown identity can effectively improve the ESG performance of these two types of companies. The results show that encouraging entrepreneurs return to their  hometowns to start their businesses and considering hometown identity when hiring can improve the ESG performance of enterprises. This study not only broadens the perspective of informal institutions at the top management level, but also provides a strong scientific basis for improving ESG performance.

Authors: Santos Petrônio Matias , Soares Edson Sousa
Published: July 2023

This paper proposes to present a study about francophony, which, according to our investigations, has been defended as a form of cultural cohabitation, respect for diversity, and solidarity among peoples. Law 10.639/2003 ensures the teaching of African History and Afro-Brazilian Culture in all subjects of the Brazilian school curriculum, in Elementary and Secondary Education. The teaching materials, also containing cultural elements, can contribute to the promotion of education for ethnic-racial relations in the teaching of French as a Foreign Language (FLE). This research proposes to investigate how the teaching of culture associated with Francophone and Law 10.639/2003 a teaching that also aims at the education of ethnic-racial relations. This research, characterized as an action research, of interpretativist character, will be developed in a public language center environment and, by concluding it, we hope to contribute to the reflection about the insertion of culture in language teaching as an element that provokes reflections, debates, individual formation, construction of new social perspectives and also deconstruction of values related to race and prejudices cultivated in our environment.

Colonial Memories and the French Partisan Right: Preserving National Identity Through or Against Diversity (2002-2022)
Authors: FAURE Clémence
Published: July 2023

Memorial issues have been one of the most important themes of the French presidential campaign of 2022. Éric Zemmour’s demand to abolish the memorial laws and Marine Le Pen’s and Valérie Pécresse’s criticism of the commemorations of the end of the Algerian War have made the relationship with the colonial past a polarising electoral issue. While the extreme right has exploited this theme since the 1960s, it is surprising that Valérie Précresse, a loyal supporter of Jacques Chirac, the great promoter of memorial reconciliation, has made anti-repentance one of her campaign themes. This article proposes to question this apparent rupture. It shows that it is the result of a process that began with the 2002 presidential elections. These elections led to a reopening of the debate on French identity thanks to a conflictualisation of the questions linked to colonial memories, leading the partisan right to fracture on cultural questions.

The emergence of a new trajectory in wireless networks can be attributed to the assessment of mobile devices and applications in the present decade. A recently developed approach that combines energy harvesting with large-scale multiple antenna technology has emerged as a promising means of enhancing energy efficiency through the utilization of renewable energy sources and the reduction of transmission power per user and per antenna. Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) refers to systems with more than one antenna element in both the transmitting and receiving sections. In the existing system, energy efficiency and optimal antenna selection is not achieved in MIMO system. Hence, in this work, Improved Butterfly Optimization (IBFO) algorithm-based antenna selection is proposed. Using adaptive hybrid analog-digital beamforming, this research evaluates a fifth-generation (5G) MIMO millimeter wave (mmWave) wireless cellular beamforming system. In order to achieve the highest possible level of energy efficiency, finding the best transmit power, number of active antennas, and antenna subsets at both transmitter and receiver is the main focus. In order to maintain a higher data rate for wireless access, it is also employed to provide excellent Quality of Service (QoS). The optimization method uses sub-channel allocation, MIMO systems, and bandwidth allocation to offer the desired data rate for applications in real time. The proposed IBFO model improves wireless power allocation schemes by using the best fitness value and optimal antenna elements to lower Bit Error Rate (BER), energy consumption, sum rate, throughput, and spectral efficiency.

Published: July 2023

Money laundering is synonymous to clothes laundering and it is the process of transforming the real nature of the source of an income or money. This transformation of the source is usually from an illegitimate source to a legitimate source. Explicitly programmed system, rule-based system and machine learning system exist as anti-money laundering system, however these systems have one or more setbacks, mostly the explicitly programmed and rule-based systems due to their inability to learn from experiences and to improve their performance as they used. The k nearest Neighbour (kNN) model was developed using open datasets on financial transaction from Kaggle.com, which is an open-source website that holds a lot of data. An accuracy of 98.4% was achieved for the selected model. In this article, we developed a web-based money laundering detection system which is based on the kNN Machine Learning model.

Authors: GÜLTEKİN M. Bekir
Published: July 2023

Farklı sebeplere bağlı olarak bireysel ve toplumsal hayatta belirsizlik durumları yaşanabilmektedir. Geleceğe dair öngörünün azalması, kuralsızlık hali, anomi ve sürekliliğin kaybolması belirsizlik durumlarının belirtilerindendir. Bu çalışmada toplumsal belirsizlik durumları iki temel kategoride değerlendirilmiştir. Bunlardan birincisi, içinde yaşanılan modern ve postmodern hayat tarzının ürettiği ve oluşumunun uzun bir sürece yayılmasından dolayı etkilerinin daha az ve hafif hissedilebildiği belirsizliklerdir. İkincisi, afetler, salgın hastalıklar ve depremler gibi ani gelişen olağandışı olaylara bağlı olarak gelişen, etkileri de daha belirgin, hızlı, şiddetli ve travmatik olabilen belirsizlik türleridir. Belirsizlik durumlarında insanlar farklı başa çıkma yollarına başvururlar. Başa çıkma yollarından en etkili olanlarından biri dinî başa çıkmadır. Türk toplumunda dinî sosyal yaşamın odağında yer alan camiler ve bu camilerde görevli olan din görevlilerinin, dinî başa çıkmada önemli bir rolü olabileceği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, toplumsal belirsizlikler karşısında başa çıkma yollarından biri olan dinî başa çıkmada cami ve din görevlisinin sosyal hizmet faaliyetlerinin işlevselliği üzerinde durulmuştur.

One of the results of the process of legal globalization is the expansion of the spectrum of sources of law and the emergence of atypical (non-traditional) sources of law that are not characteristic of individual national legal systems, with the aim of officially expressing legal norms that actually regulate social relations. This process has a dualistic nature and is reduced not only to the procedural design of non-typical (non-traditional) sources of law, but also to the specifics of adoption, content, legal force and practice of applying such sources.It is noted that for a long time in the national doctrine of civil procedural law, the opinion prevailed that the form (source) of civil procedural law can only be normative legal acts, while the existence of others was denied. This provision was also supported at the official law-making level.The author is a supporter of the concept of two-level system of sources of civil procedural law of Ukraine which consists of traditional sources of civil procedural law with mandatory application and non-traditional sources of national legal systems, civil procedural law which have subsidiary (additional, auxiliary) character.Special attention in the research is paid to the elucidation of the nature and characteristics of legal sources of civil procedural law non-traditional for domestic type of legal family, which are characterized by specific scope of their application, narrower compared to normative legal acts, subsidiary character of the use and lack of or discrepancy of structure with accepted standards of legal techniques. These sources include: enforcement (judicial) practice, procedural agreement, legal doctrine, principles of law.Basic tendencies of development of civil procedural law sources among which the harmonization has a special importance, differentiation of judicial procedures, standardization of judicial procedures, improvement of procedural legislation, further systematization of sources of civil procedural law.

Tomando como perspectiva a função analítica e seu compromisso com fazer trabalhar a transferência, esse amor com potencial “transforma-dor”, os autores propõem uma retomada do pensamento freudiano sobre essa temática. Ocupam-se da vitalidade de suas ideias para instrumentalizar o seu legado mais além das patologias do representável – a bela indiferença. Fazem uma interlocução com o irrepresentável – uma real indiferença – visando refletir a pertinência do operacionalizar a transferência, como elemento determinante, no processo de construção, que não são, em análise, reconstruções,. Interrogam- se sobre a problemática da sugestão, da criação e da ética, diante do desafio que consiste na pretensão do analista de dar representações para vivências traumáticas precoces, que vigem no inconsciente não recalcado. Seguindo essa cartografia eclipsada pela força da pulsão de morte, pouco domesticada pela pulsão sexual, propõem que o per via di porre do analista, sobre o analisando, seja decorrente do per via di levare que o analista tenha executado em seus conteúdos inconscientes.

The general purpose of this article was to present the implementation of the PBL in the Resistance of Materials subject in the Civil Engineering degree at the University of Valparaíso, in three different years. This was a strategy to evaluate and provide feedback on learning results regarding specific and generic competences, in their first level of mastery. The results revealed that this methodology had strengths and weaknesses regarding the level of achievement in team work-related transversal competences, self-regulation, and communication. Also, there was a rise in engineering competencies such as the application of tools for the analysis of a problem. The perception of the students regarding learning gains was also analysed and contrasted with their academic results. This provided feedback on students’ performance which the permanent curricular committee of the degree can use to make decisions and carry out macro or micro curricular adjustments. In general, improvements were reported for the formation of work teams, thus optimizing academic performance.

Effect of weak alternating magnetic fields on neutrophilic granulocytes. An analytical review
Authors: Shaev Igor Alexandrovich , Novikov Vadim Viktorovich
Published: July 2023

The article discusses the main achievements in recent years in studying the biological effects of weak and superweak low-frequency magnetic fields, either variable or combined with constant ones. Considered are neutrophil granulocytes activated by chemical stimulants or intact when the magnetic fields affect isolated cells, blood, and whole organisms. The methods include recording changes in ROS concentration levels (the most noticeable effect of exposure to a weak magnetic field), priming index, calcium homeostasis, proliferative activity, immune status, as well as the influence of various chemical agents on these indicators. The leading methods in this field are fluorescence spectrometry and chemiluminescence analysis. The experimental results indicate the biological effectiveness of this physical factor, the specific effect of which depends on the type of biosystem, its functional status, the environment, and the parameters of the fields themselves. The data obtained can have applied significance in magnetotherapy, immune response optimization in various diseases, acceleration of tissue regeneration and repair, and increasing the body's resistance to infections. They also can have academic significance since they help to identify the primary field acceptors and magnetic targets and their localization in the cell, study relationships with signal cascades, build models of biological signal amplification pathways, and find biologically significant frequencies and field amplitudes.

Published: July 2023

Tomato is one of the most important vegetable crop grown by small farmers and commercial growers for both local uses as well as processing industries. So, it is important to increase its productivity along with desirable attributes through its genetic characters. Therefore, present experiment was conducted at the College of Agriculture, Vellayani, to evaluate the F2 segregating population of a tomato cross involving Anagha x IIHR 2896 for correlation and path analysis. Correlation analysis revealed that plant height, number of primary branches, plant spread, number of days to first flowering, number of days to first fruit harvest, number of fruits per plant, fruit weight, fruit volume, and number of locules were highly significant and positively correlated with fruit yield per plant. Path analysis revealed that the number of fruits per plant, fruit weight and fruit volume had a high positive direct effect on fruit yield per plant, followed by plant height and plant spread. However, the number of primary branches, the number of days to first flowering, the number of days to first fruit harvest and number of locules had a negative direct effect on fruit yield per plant. Hence, the characters showing positive correlation and direct effect should be given more emphasis in the selection programme for the development of superior varieties.

Marmosa constantiae is a species of marsupial restricted to the central portion of South America. In Brazil, it occurs in the northwestern region including five states of the Amazon, Cerrado, and Pantanal biomes. However, there is no study of the helminth fauna or helminth community structure for this marsupial. The aims of this study were to describe the species composition and to analyse the structure of the helminthic community of M. constantiae in an area of the Amazon Arc in Sinop, north of the state of Mato Grosso, Brazil. Parasites were searched in 53 specimens of this marsupial, among which 44 were infected with at least one helminth species. Parasitic helminths were counted and identified. Nine species were collected: seven nematodes, one cestode, and one acanthocephalan. The most abundant species were Gracilioxyuris agilisis, Travassostrongylus scheibelorum, Pterygodermatites sinopiensis, and Subulura eliseae. These species were the only dominant ones in the component community. No significant differences were observed in the abundance and prevalence of helminths between male and female hosts. Host body size significantly influenced helminth abundance in males. The pattern of community structure considering the infracommunities in this locality indicated more species replacement than species loss along the environmental gradient. This is the first study to report the helminth fauna and the helminth community structure of M. constantiae.
Global food systems under risk: Are we facing a permanent crisis?
Authors: Doukas Yannis
Published: July 2023

Global food systems are facing a prolonged challenge, as food prices are remaining at high levels. The lives of the world’s poor and food-insecure communities are greatly affected by changes in the food supply, rising commodity prices, and the new shapes that the food chain between producers and consumers has adopted. At the same time, consumers in more advanced economies are also experiencing sharp rises in food prices. In the current paper, we will try to address the issues related to the current food crisis and explore whether the global food systems are facing a state of permanent crisis.

Published: July 2023

The World Health Organization has set clear global targets in reducing non-communicable disease mortality by 2030 in its sustainable development goals. This study models the number of deaths that could be averted if Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) member states met the target of reducing their population’s current mean salt intake by 30% to achieve mortality reduction targets. Using the WHO Preventable Risk Integrated ModEl (PRIME), we modelled the mortality impact of reducing salt consumption by 30%, as well as according to WHO recommended levels (5 g/person/day), for the five member states of the EEU. PRIME models the number of averted deaths from reducing salt intake by applying established risk ratios to a given population. The baseline demographic and mortality data that are required to generate these estimates were obtained from the relevant government statistical bodies, and salt intake data were referenced from surveillance studies. Uncertainty intervals were generated using Monte Carlo simulation. If salt consumption was reduced by 30%, we estimate that there would have been 94,150 (95%UI: 47,329 to 137,131) fewer deaths due to cardiovascular disease in the EEU in the baseline year, with males and the elderly being more affected. If the WHO-recommended maximum salt intake of 5 g/day was achieved, a total of 193,155 (95%UI: 98,548 to 272,536) deaths would have been prevented. These findings underline the importance of incorporating effective policy changes to meet targets in reducing NCD mortality by one-third by 2030.
Numerical Solution of Complex Fuzzy Differential Equations by Euler and Taylor Methods
Authors: Abualhomos Mayada
Published: July 2023

In 1965, Zadeh introduced the concept of fuzzy set, which is a class of objects with a continuum of grades of membership, such a set is characterized by a membership (characteristic) function which assigns to each object a grade of membership ranging between zero and one. In 1987 O. Kaleva defined the concept of fuzzy differential equations and present some basic notions of differential equations such as differentiability, integrability, existence and uniqueness theorem for a solution to a fuzzy differential equation. He also, in 1990 studied the Cauchy problem for fuzzy differential equations and showed that it has a solution if and only if there is a subset and its locally compact. Later, M. Ma, M. Friedman, and A. Kandel 1999 introduced numerical solutions of fuzzy differential equations. In this paper we incorporate the above ideas to introduce numerical solution of complex fuzzy differential equations by Euler and Taylor methods by extending the codomain of membership function of fuzzy topological space from [0, 1] to the unit disk in the complex plane. This extension allows us getting more range and flexibility to represent objects with uncertainty and periodicity semantics without losing the full meaning of information. Also, we considered the definitions of complex fuzzy sets, cartesian and polar representation of complex membership, and Cauchy problem for CFDEs. We then found the exact solutions and approximations for Taylor and Euler methods for CFDEs by levels and  where , and provide examples of the results we obtained.
Dynamic changes in lactate levels within the first 24 hours in septic patients as a prognostic indicator: A retrospective cohort study utilizing latent class growth analysis
Authors: Li Shifeng , You Tao , Liu Meili , Hao Yan , Li Xinyue , Wang Zhiyang , Huang Fang , Wang Jun
Published: July 2023

Elevated lactate levels are common in sepsis patients. This study aimed to assess the effect of dynamic changes in lactate levels within the first 24 hours following admission on patient prognosis. We extracted data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database and classified patients using latent class growth analysis (LCGA). This analysis classified sepsis patients into different groups based on dynamic changes in lactate levels during the initial 24 hours post-admission, dividing this time frame into four periods (0–3 h, 3–6 h, 6–12 h, and 12–24 h). The highest lactate level recorded in each period was then used for patient classification. We subsequently compared the baseline characteristics and outcomes between these different groups. Our study encompassed 7,830 patients, whom LCGA successfully divided into two classes: class 1 (steady lactate class) and class 2 (increasing lactate class). Class 2 demonstrated a worse clinical status at baseline, as indicated by vital signs, disease severity scores, and laboratory results. Importantly, class 2 also had a significantly higher 28-day mortality rate than class 1 (55.6% vs 13.5%, P < 0.001). In conclusion, LCGA effectively categorized sepsis patients into two distinct groups based on their dynamic changes in lactate levels during the first 24 hours post-admission. This methodology has potential utility in clinical practice for managing sepsis patients.

Bu araştırmada, köy ortaokul öğrencilerinin 21. yüzyıl becerilerine sahip olma düzeylerinin çeşitli değişkenlere göre incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Betimsel tarama modelinin kullanıldığı bu çalışmanın örneklemini, toplam 210 köy  ortaokul öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada, veri toplama aracı olarak ortaokul öğrencilerinin 21. yüzyıl becerilerine sahip olma düzeylerini incelemek amacıyla “Köy Ortaokul Öğrencilerine Yönelik 21. Yüzyıl Becerileri Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin analizinde, betimsel istatistikler ve fark analizleri kullanılmıştır. Yapılan araştırma sonucuna göre, köy ortaokul öğrencilerinin 21. yüzyıl becerileri düzeylerinin genel olarak düşük düzeyde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca öğrencilerin cinsiyetleri, yaşları, sınıf kademeleri, kardeş sayıları, baba eğitim durumları, anne eğitim durumları, aile gelir durumları, kendilerine ait çalışma ortamı durumları, internete erişim durumları, kullandıkları teknolojik alet durumları ve boş zamanı değerlendirme durumları ile 21. yüzyıl beceri düzeyleri arasında anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmemiştir. Bu farklılığın oluşmamasında bireylerin benzer sosyoekonomik aile yapılarına ve çevre koşullarına sahip olmasından kaynaklandığı düşünülmektedir.

Molekulare Tumorprofile einer retrospektiven Kohorte von Patient:innen mit fortgeschrittenem Mammakarzinom im OncoNet Rhein Main
Authors:   , Jeute Anne
Published: July 2023

Das Verständnis von Tumorerkrankungen wurde durch neue technologische und ökonomische Verbesserungen für die Next-Generation-Sequencing Analyse (NGS) gefördert. Die Komplexität der Interpretation genomischer Daten erschwert jedoch die Anwendung von NGS-Analysen im klinischen Kontext. Die Herausforderung besteht darin bei stetig wachsendem medizinischem Wissen dieses im klinischen Kontext zu interpretieren und eine personalisierte Therapieempfehlung abzugeben. Einen ressourcensparenden Ansatz können KI-unterstützende Software-Programme bieten, welche die genomischen Varianten mit der aktuellen Literatur vergleichen, eine Bewertung der Therapieoptionen geben und klinische Studien empfehlen können. In dieser retrospektiven Arbeit wurden Patient:innen mit metastasiertem Brustkrebs (n=77) mittels gezielter NGS-Analyse anhand von sogenannten Genpanels mit 126 bzw. 540 krebsrelevanten Genen im Zeitraum von 01/2019-02/2022 untersucht. Mit Hilfe von bioinformatischen Methoden wurden patientenspezifische genomische Veränderungen mit Behandlungsoptionen abgeglichen. Diese Methoden stützen sich vollständig auf öffentliche Datenbanken über somatische Varianten mit prädiktiver Evidenz für das Ansprechen auf bestimmte Medikamente. Diese Versorgungsforschung einer repräsentativen Kohorte des Universitätsklinikums Frankfurt in Kooperation mit Regionalverbund OncoNet Rhein-Main wurden systematisch ausgewertet inklusive der Bedeutung genomischer Varianten. Das OncoNet Rhein-Main ist eine Kooperation aus führenden onkologischen Zentren und Praxen im Rhein-Main-Gebiet, welche sich als Netzwerk der Aufgabe angenommen haben Patient:innen optimal therapeutisch zu versorgen. Für 51% (39/77) der Patient:innen konnte mindestens eine gezielte Therapieoption mit einem effektivem Biomarker im gleichen Tumortyp gemäß Zulassung der Europäischen Arzneimittelbehörde (EMA) gefunden werden. Bei 12/77 (16%) wurde mindestens eine Alteration mit einem effektivem Biomarker und einer OFF-Label Therapieoption gefunden. Bei 30% der Patient:innen wurden Veränderungen in optionalen Biomarkern gefunden, welche Resistenzmechanismen erklären. Die umfassende molekulare Analyse von Patient:innen mit fortgeschrittenem Brustkrebs erlaubt die Behandlungsoption zu verbessern und ermöglicht durch die Analyse von bekannten Resistenzmarkern auch den klinischen Verlauf besser zu verstehen. Die interdisziplinäre Besprechung der Befunde im molekularem Tumorboard ist im Hinblick auf kontinuierliches Lernen aller Beteiligten sowie zur Qualitätssicherung eine entscheidende obligate Maßnahme.
Big spatial data modeling using data cube based on discrete global grid system
Authors: Titov G.S. , Kargashin P.E.
Published: July 2023

The authors describe an approach to modeling large volumes of heterogeneous spatial data in the form of a hypercube based on discrete global grid systems. Bibliometric analysis and literature review of academic publications, mapping and explanation of the scientific landscape on the subject of big data and data cubes in Earth sciences are carried out. The mentioned phenomenon is interpreted in Earth sciences in the view of the spatial data life cycle. The results show that its transformative impact on cartography and geoinformatics is mutual, and the resulting methodological problem is their heterogeneity, not volume. To model them, it is proposed to use a data cube in which the spatial dimension is represented using discrete global grid systems with advantages over raster and vector models in application to that phenomenon. The content of the data cube is analysis-ready information.

La enseñanza como el aprendizaje de las matemáticas es reconocido como un conocimiento fundamental para el desarrollo de todas las sociedades, por esa razón, el objetivo de este estudio fue diseñar la estrategia didáctica CAJATRI basada en el método heurístico de Pólya para el fortalecimiento de la comprensión lectora y la resolución de problemas trigonométricos con los estudiantes de Fundamentos de Geometría y Trigonometría del primer semestre de Licenciatura en Matemáticas de la Universidad Francisco de Paula Santander en Cúcuta. Para ello se aplicó un estudio descriptivo de tipo experimental y de campo, bajo un enfoque mixto, que permitió la combinación de técnicas e instrumentos cualitativos como el análisis de contenido y las matrices, junto con los cuantitativos como el análisis y la presentación de los resultados del pre-test en gráficos estadísticos. Los resultados revelaron que algunos de los estudiantes logran comprender y responder los problemas con facilidad, otros no comprenden con facilidad pero logran resolver con cierta dificultad algunos de los problemas y otros definitivamente no comprenden y no logran resolver ningún problema; asimismo, la revisión documental permitió al análisis hermenéutico de las teorías que apoyan la importancia y el manejo de la comprensión lectora en el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje de las matemáticas, identificando los aspectos puntuales que debían ser reforzados con la estrategia de la Cajatri, para la resolución de los problemas trigonométricos. Lo cual finalmente permitió la elaboración de un cuadernillo con dicho proceso, el cual puede ser adaptado para otros niveles educativos e incluso ser aplicado en otras cátedras o carreras de pregrado dentro de ésta u otras universidades.
The role of “soft law” in the aspect of forming a coherent system of alternative methods of resolving disputes in the field of public-law relations, taking into account the Ukrainian context
Authors: Stebelev A.M.

The article analyzes the role of «soft law» in the aspect of forming a whole system of alternative ways of resolving disputes in the field of public-law relations, taking into account the Ukrainian context. The special mission of «soft law» in this situation is pointed out, since it represents a set of authoritative and well-founded recommendations, it serves as a meaningful guide for reforming domestic legislation in the field of organization and functioning of alternative dispute resolution, including in the field of public-legal relations . At the same time, a caveat is made regarding the importance of careful and careful analysis of such recommendations and the need to carry out work on their implementation in the practice of law-making, law enforcement and law enforcement activities, taking into account the Ukrainian context.Certain steps have been taken in Ukraine to normalize alternative dispute and conflict resolution, but it is worth stating the fact that the dynamics of legislative regulation of these issues indicates that the state on this track is significantly lagging behind the real needs of practice, the development of social relations, and doctrinal developments in this area. to the queen The presence of high-quality legal regulation becomes especially relevant in relation to the resolution of legal disputes and conflicts precisely with the participation of subjects with public interests, and especially with the participation of public authorities (state authorities and local governments). This is due to the fact that the use of alternative forms under such conditions may entail a corruption component.In this context, it is indicated that in order to prevent such a situation, all mediation forms of alternative resolution of disputes and conflicts should be fulfilled from the point of view of approaching them as a real structured process, which finds its formalized configuration in the prescriptions of legislative acts and, first of all, on levels of laws of Ukraine. In 2001, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe adopted Recommendations Rec (2001), which is a source of «soft law», which, together with other recommendations, should be developed in the aspect of introducing alternative dispute resolution and establishing appropriate methods and procedures as a whole system.
