Published: July 2024

Computer-aided research to improve image decoding is a long-standing theme in medical imaging. A variety of imaging techniques, including ultrasound imaging, The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and Computed Tomography (CT), are generally depleted to estimate tumors in the prostate, lung, brain, breast, and liver. The study used MRI images of the brain to identify the tumors. Brain tumors are an almost common and cruel disease that can significantly shorten life expectancy. It is important to use MRI images to locate and classify contaminating tumors. There are many tumors including gliomas, meningiomas, pituitary tumors, and no tumors. One of the most difficult aspects of brain tumor assortment is the diagnosis and prevention of tumor type. Accurate tumor classification helps to assess disease progression and select therapeutic strategies. To resolve the issue, a Deep Belief Neural- Convolutional Neural Network (DeepBeliefCNN) method was proposed. At first phase, we preprocess the brain tumor MRI dataset by using 2D Wavelet Filter method. This method allows for the analysis of images at multiple resolutions, thus enabling detection of features at different scales. This effectively reduces noise in medical images while preserving important details. This improves the definition of tumor boundaries and other important features, helping in accurate diagnosis and analysis. Then preprocessing the dataset segment the preprocessed images based on Watershed method. It is a powerful image segmentation technique used to outline objects in images. When used for image segmentation of a brain tumor, it can help identify tumor boundaries within the brain. Markers are assigned to areas of interest in the image. These markers can be manually set by experts or generated automatically using techniques such as distance transforms and morphological functions. At last, the dataset is classify by using the DeepBeleifCNN method. The DeepBeleifCNN approach combines the hierarchical feature extraction capabilities of DBN with the spatial feature extraction capabilities of CNN. This allows a detailed understanding of brain tumor images and improves classification performance. This method successfully generalizes to new and unrecognized brain tumor images because of its capability to study healthy and biased features in together pre-training and fine-tuning stages. The investigational outcomes illustrate that our deployed methodology beats the existing method in accuracy, sensitivity, F1 score, specificity and error rate.

Authors: Jain Mahesh , Ginjupalli Uma , Dhake Suvarna , Jain Sulsa
Published: July 2024

Neonatal adrenal hemorrhage (NAH) occurs in up to 0.2% - 0.55 % of live birth. It is important to note that approximately 10% of these cases might have bilateral involvement. Various risk factors have been reported in addition to birth asphyxia such as sepsis, coagulation disorder, traumatic delivery, and perinatal injuries. However, in a substantial proportion of cases the etiology of bleeding cannot be established. In most cases the event is asymptomatic but in others it may be so devastating and can lead to prolonged adrenal insufficiency and severe cases to shock if not recognized early. This case describes a term infant born with severe anemia in the setting of unilateral adrenal hemorrhage and subgaleal hematoma without resulting in adrenal insufficiency. The infant was successfully treated with blood transfusions and supportive treatment. This is a unique presentation of NAH as it was unilateral associated with right subgaleal hemorrhage and presented with severe anemia.
On the Class of Wei-Yao-Liu Conjugate Gradient Methods for Vector Optimization
Authors: Yahaya Jamilu , Kumam Poom , Salisu Sani , Timothy Auta Jonathan
Published: July 2024

Vector optimization problems (VOPs) are crucial research areas with widespread applications. The scalarization approach is commonly used to solve VOPs by transforming vector-valued functions into single-objective optimization. Despite its elegance, this method has the drawback of subjective weight selections. Alternatively, we propose five conjugate gradient (CG) methods designed for VOPs, where the set of Pareto-optimal points are obtained without weight selections, the methods are Wei-Yao-Liu (WYL) and four of its variants. Three of these methods lack sufficient descent conditions (SDC) in this context. However, we establish their global convergence using Wolfe line search. The remaining two methods fulfill SDC with the Wolfe line search, and their global convergence is further verified using the Wolfe line search. Importantly, our approach does not rely on regular restart or convexity assumptions associated with objective functions. We conduct numerical experiments to showcase the effectiveness of our methods, comparing them with the nonnegative PRP method. Through these experiments, we demonstrate the practical implementations of our proposed techniques.

Authors: Baghdasaryan Arevik
Published: July 2024

Key words: arithmetical, textual, searching, fascinating problems, method of conjecture, proposition of hypotheses, components

Nonstandard math problems are a developmental, enriching, and valuable tool for elementary school math education. These problems often involve real-life scenarios, puzzles, or open-ended questions and require learners to apply mathematical concepts in innovative ways. These problems are highlighted by their practical significance.
Nonstandard math problems stimulate critical thinking by requiring learners to analyze, synthesize and evaluate information in a new context. These problems require a high level of cognitive involvement. Non-standard problems create conditions for pupils to propose hypotheses, enrich or deny them in the educational process.
The paper discusses two non-standard textual problems considered in the fourth grade, the purpose of which is to highlight and explain the issues that present difficulties among pupils (future teachers). The problem requires determining the number of 500 and 200 dram-coins if there are 25 of them and the total amount is 9200 drams.
The problem is solved by the method of assumptions. The solution is given in two ways, and then a check is made.

Published: July 2024

Key words: equation, inequality, system, extimate, example, demonstration

This work is devoted to the solutions of trigonometric equations and systems, proofs of trigonometric expressions for which the so-called famous evaluation method is used. Let's briefly introduce this method. If, for example, you need to solve the equation f(x)=g(x), where f(x) and g(x) are functions of trigonometric expressions, such that you can explore their range of values of E(f) and E(g) prove that these sets either do not have a common point or have a common point. In this case, when the equation has a solution, it decays to the equivalent system f(x)=a и g(x)=a, which is relatively easy to solve.
The work presents equations, systems of equations, the solution of which at first glance seems difficult, but after equivalent transformations it is solved using the specified method. In the work given from 10 examples, the last 2 are the proofs of inequalities, where the specified method is also used. The examples and the applications of the methods of solutions have a methodological, instructive value, especially for high school students.

Gingival recession is a term when the marginal gingiva apically shifts from its normal position to the root surface level beyond the cementoenamel junction. Gingival recession can cause aesthetic and functional problems. Coronally advanced flap combined with Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF) is considered a better therapy for the autogenous gingival graft because it doesn’t require a second surgical site. PRF is a potential growth factor for periodontal regeneration. The existence of leukocytes and various cytokines contained in PRF enables the self-modulation of infectious and inflammatory processes. This case report aims to describe the use of PRF for root coverage on the labial surfaces of the mandibular anterior teeth. Case Presentation: A female 42 years old, systemically healthy, non‑smoking patient came with a chief complaint that the mandibular teeth often feel sensitive when exposed to iced or something cold. Clinical examinations revealed Miller’s Class I in #42 and #43. Case Management: The patient said that she doesn’t want a second surgical site. After initial therapy and maintenance, the patient was treated with a coronally advanced flap combined with PRF. Conclusion: The growth factors in PRF are involved in wound healing and is proposed as tissue regeneration promoter. PRF with coronally advanced flap has been shown to be a promising and successful approach for root coverage procedures. It significantly presents a significant gain in clinical attachment and also simultaneously helps with the gingival recession.

Theoretical modalities of architectural communicability
Authors: Ciganović Aleksa , Stevanović Vladimir
Published: July 2024

The paper discusses the character of communication in the architectural profession. As architecture has a multidimensional discursive nature, architectural communicativeness is viewed as a complexly organized linguistic formation that is the result of the correlation and interaction of immanent technical discourse (an engineering, construction and design communication model) and communication models of other work environments, such as those which are normative-legal (an administrative and legislative communication model), scientific-academic (theoretical, critical, essay and translation models of communication) or journalistic (promotional and managerial models of communication). Within the mentioned subtypes of architectural communication, one can find polyphonic extralinguistic inclusions intertwined with discourses of other scientific and academic spheres. In this sense, the architectural code of communication is characterized not only by the functional terminology of tangent areas, but also by the picturesqueness of speech genres, based on the use of abstract and symbolic tropes, from personifications to metaphors. The basic assumption of the text is that the general differentiation of architectural communication - due to the apparent lack of methodological and theoretical material on the subject - can be initially consolidated through Berthelot's (Jean-Michel Berthelot) theory of socio-humanistic programmatic changes in the epistemology of the second half of the 20th century, which includes the periodization of naturalistic, intentional and symbolic epistemological polarity. In the light of the presented starting point, Berthelot's epistemological poles are understood at the communicative level - as communication poles, to be analyzed as complex, abstract and variant discursive patterns of changing relations to the categories of culture and nature, with the characteristics of cognitive, thematic, stylistic and structural unity.

Authors: Anđelković Goran
Published: July 2024

This research has been focused on the turning point (1970) in design practice and work of architect Mihailo Mika Čanak. After the disappearance Architectural group Belgrade Five (1954-1970), with the death of architect Milosav Mitić, and before the establishment of closer cooperation with the architect Aleksandar Đokić on the design and construction Belgrade housing settlement Kneževac-Kijevo (1971-1984), great changes took place and turning point in Čanak design practice and construction activity. The review of the preserved architect legacy, as the primary research source, recognized Čanak short creative intermdeiate phase between the first modernist (1957-1970) and the second postmodernist period (1970-1993). Its importance was reflected in the first steps of "softening" the purist expression, re-examining values according to the previous creative phase and turning to new design possibilities in the process of searching for recognizable author's expression. The goal of research is to chronologically structure and systematize three developmental steps between accepted modernist and emerging postmodernist values in Serbian architecture at the end of the seventh and beginning of the eighth decade of the twentieth century: the autonomy newly formed unit, the Center for Housing Study IMS (1970-1973), as a result Čanak effort to improve the position of Institute architects, with a strong turn towards scientific research work and freedom of authorial expression on architectural competitions; a hommage to modernism and industrial aesthetics, a recognizable feature of the architectural group to which he belonged during the fifties and sixties of the twentieth century, in the first independent author's realization of the residential Block 2 in Novi Sad (1970-1972) and the redefinition of residential space concept; and a radical and avantgarde step toward sophisticated high technology, embodied in slich-tech aesthetics as a transitional solution to postmodernism on architectural competition for Office tower in Sremska Street (1970).
Rational and ethical consequences of crisis management on the example of the Covid-19 epidemic
Authors: Klikovac Anita
Published: July 2024

This text explores the difference between rational decisionmaking in crisis situations and ethical assumptions of action (imperatives). The paper starts from the hypothesis that socially responsible decisionmaking should be based on the theory of rational choice, that is, that the deontological principles of patient care and the implementation of prophylaxis and treatment are necessarily opposed to the rationally calculated social interest. Analyzing the methods of rational decision-making in a crisis situation, on the example of the Spanish flu and Covid-19 epidemics, and the ethical imperatives of utilitarian and deontological ethics, the paper, using a comparative method, comes to the following conclusions: (1) that crisis decision-making cannot be determined by Pareto-optimality, and (2) that in major crisis situations, such as a pandemic, rational decision-making appropriate to crisis management is necessary, which can only be related to the utilitarianism of consequences.
SHAALA-22: Construction and validation of the new academic self-handicapping scale
Authors: Milovanović Aleksandar , Bjelogrlić Andrej , Jovičić Aleksandar
Published: July 2024

The aim of this study was to construct and validate a new instrument for assessing Academic Self-Handicapping. The instrument consists of 22 items. A total of 251 participants, consisting of high-schoolers and university students, participated in the study. The results confirm sound psychometric properties and the validity of the scale. Exploratory factor analysis identified one component that explains 28% of the total variance. Convergent and discriminant validity was tested through correlation analyses with the subscales of the instruments HEXACO-60, Self-Liking/ Self-Competence scale, and Self-Handicapping Questionnaire. Academic Self-Handicapping was strongly negatively correlated with Conscientiousness, dimensions of Self-Esteem, Extraversion and Honesty, positively related with Emotionality and four Self-Handicapping strategies. In the paper we discuss potential understanding of Academic Self-Handicapping as the manifestation of depression in academic context and that the root cause of these behaviors lies in the achievement-oriented school system. We conclude that our instrument can be used to assess the Academic Self-Handicapping of students and can serve as a useful tool for understanding the psychological systems of students.
Building a rich vocabulary of unfamiliar literary text items with students: An active approach to meaning, context, and dictionary
Authors: Janićijević Valerija , Mitrović Milena , Marković Bojan
Published: July 2024

Unfamiliar literary text terms should, by different methodological approaches and methods, become a part of the students' vocabulary and enrich their languaculture. The goal of this pilot research was to examine the elements of a specifically designed teaching medium (the Dictionary) in literature classes where literary works are analyzed. The purpose of the dictionary was to provide a deeper understanding of the meaning and usage of the completely new words in the students' vocabulary, through various approaches to those words and their meaning. The test group consisted of 25 experimental group students and 16 control group students. The experimental group students used an additional teaching medium in analyzing the unfamiliar terms in their texts, while the control group students analyzed their terms in a regular, conventional way. It has been concluded that the new, unfamiliar terms introduced in the text analysis in literature classes should be given more (methodological) attention, by using various methods and teaching mediums in order for those words to be understood and later actively used by students. Using an additional teaching medium, the Dictionary, has proven to be a successful way of analyzing unknown words, good for memorizing their different meanings, as well as using the newly adopted terms and phrases depending on their context length (used in a sentence or a short story).

Authors: Uslu Kaplan , Maviş Sevim
Published: July 2024

This research aimed to reveal the decisions of master's students about whether to pursue their doctoral degree or not and the factors affecting these decisions. The participants of this research, in which the basic qualitative research design was used, consisted of 28 students (19 female and 9 male) in different parts of the educational sciences departments. To gather the data from the participants, a semi-structured interview form, which was prepared by the researchers, was used. The participants' answers were analyzed via the content analysis method and categorized under the main themes of personal, professional, and academic factors. The research findings are explained in light of the details given in the theoretical framework section, namely postgraduate education, reasons to pursue postgraduate education, and reasons for not completing postgraduate education. The findings demonstrated that the majority of the participants were willing to pursue a doctoral degree. According to the results, it was seen that the participants' master's degree experiences affected their decision to be willing or unwilling to pursue their education and enroll in doctoral studies. However, the participants also stated that they didn't have much knowledge about doctoral degree during their master's degree and could only get information with their own efforts. This finding showed that master's degree students needed to be informed more about doctoral degree at the master's degree level.

Authors: Đuragić Nataša
Published: July 2024

The paper deals with the presentation of the attitudes of students of the Preschool Teachers Training College in Novi Sad regarding the importance of musical education for preschool children, and the examination of potential correlates of those attitudes in the form of previous musical education or experience, the family's cultural and pedagogical climate and sociodemographic factors. The research approach as well as the results are presented in two parts. The first part of the research was conducted on a sample of 225 second- and third-year students of the Preschool Teachers Training College in Novi Sad. The research was conducted using a non-experimental type method, surveying and scaling techniques, with instruments specially constructed for the needs of this research. The results of the research show that students express very positive attitudes towards the importance of music education for children of preschool age, but that there are differences between the level of positivity of the attitudes of students in the second and third year of study. The second part of the research is a qualitative research, which aims to examine the causes of the difference in attitudes between second and third year students, the change in interest in music and music-performance subjects during the course of study, as well as to what extent the syllabus of music-performance subjects has been changed and supplemented influenced the mentioned differences. One of the goals of the research was to examine the role of teachers in the formation and further affirmation of students' attitudes towards the importance of music education. The research was conducted on a sample of 50 students, and it was done using the technique of surveying and content analysis. Content analysis showed that the majority of students perceive the changes in the syllabus positively due to the increase in professional competences and feelings of personal satisfaction and self-achievement. Also, most students see the teacher as a key figure in realizing and improving their own musical potential. The obtained results open up a space for designing a program to increase the musical and performance competencies of preschool students, so that in the future they could provide adequate musical stimulation to children in preschool institutions.
Navigating through the substantive equality doctrine: Anti-discrimination law and social change
Authors: Matijević Milica
Published: July 2024

The substantive equality doctrine is an important aspect of legal scholarship and judicial practice built around the principles of equal treatment and non-discrimination. The doctrine departs from the critique of the "formal approach to equality" and places great expectations on the legislator and the courts vis-à-vis its equality aspirations, which encompass objectives related to both redistribution and recognition. The paper examines the relationship between its basic postulates, its equality goals, and the law as its main method. The author charts the developmental trajectory of the doctrine, provides an overview of its premises, and an analysis of its objectives. The author concludes that the proponents of the substantive equality doctrine rightly point to deeper societal structures as the source of patterned inequalities, yet they are mistaken in their belief that the subtle and complex forms of discrimination can be effectively addressed through anti-discrimination law.
Approaching quiet quitting from the labor law perspective: A case study of Hungarian and Serbian legislation
Authors: Solymosi-Szekeres Bernadett , Stojković-Zlatanović Anja
Published: July 2024

The paper explores the quiet quitting phenomenon, its origin, and evolution , by applying theoretical, legal normative, and comparative methods. It particularly examines how quiet quitting can be understood through the lens of labor law, by analyzing the provisions of Hungarian and Serbian labor legislation dealing with worker's rights and duties. Quiet quitting has been considered workers' psychological response to hustle culture and always-on expectations. It is a specific self-protection mechanism in a digitalized world of work, wherein the worker fulfills only the minimum work duties, without going above and beyond the employment contract. Therefore, it is hard to argue for the employment contract breach whereas approaching from an organizational management perspective is much more adequate, while also applying the decent work approach.
Communicating confidence: Suspended sentences as communicative punishment
Authors: Plesnicar Mojca , Tripkovic Milena
Published: July 2024

The article identifies a distinctive model of suspended sentences that exists in contemporary Serbia and Slovenia. By employing Antony Duff 's notion of 'communicative punishment', the article suggests that suspended sentences are a robust and comprehensive penal instrument which promotes an inclusive, dialogic, and non-stigmatizing approach to criminal offenders. To demonstrate this, the article contrasts Duff's theory with three key domains of suspended sentences in the two countries: (a) philosophical and theoretical commitments, (b) substantive and procedural law and (c) execution of sanctions. The article concludes by emphasizing the pronounced capacity of these sentences to communicate confidence and trust of the state that the convicted person will not reoffend - despite a non-custodial sanction. Finally, the article proposes modest legal modifications which pertain to the court's ability to determine relevant facts and communicate better with the offender.

In situations where the fundamental human right to work is threatened by unlawful termination of employment, i.e., if the termination of employment occurs contrary to the provisions of the Labor Law or another special law, the employee achieves protection through the court in a procedure which is regulated by the Civil Procedure Law. In the paper, the authors deal with the peculiarities of the litigation procedure for protection against unlawful termination of employment, but also with the normative solutions and legal consequences of unlawful termination of employment that occur for the employer
Challenges facing surrogacy today
Authors: Kovaček-Stanić Gordana , Samardžić Sandra
Published: July 2024

Surrogacy represents perhaps the oldest form of assisted reproduction, but at the same time the most controversial form of reproduction, on which reaching any consensus at the international level is almost impossible at the moment. In the last few years, the practice of surrogacy has encountered serious obstacles and challenges, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, but also with the war on the territory of Ukraine, where surrogacy was, until recently, extremely common. As a result of this, but also the fact that some legislations have significantly tightened their regulations, the surrogacy industry has been quickly adapting and looking for alternative ways to continue to run smoothly. That's how the so-called reprowebs, which imply a global network of reproduction consisting of several different locations, more or less connected to each other and which require answers to numerous questions in order to protect all participants in this procedure.

The modern system of execution of the prison sentence, unlike the first classical systems of execution of this sentence, is based on the principles of individualization, resocialization and humane treatment of convicted persons. Adapting the method of execution of the prison sentence to the convicted person in order to achieve the purpose of punishment as efficiently as possible is the basic principle of the modern system of execution of the prison sentence or a prerequisite for the successful resocialization of the convicted person. The principle of humane treatment of convicted persons is based on prescribing the basic (minimum) rights of convicts serving prison sentences by national legal regulations, but also establishing minimum legal standards at the regional and global international level. Bearing in mind the conformity of the legislation of the Republic of Serbia with the standards prescribed by international sources in the field of the rights of persons deprived of their liberty, the right of convicted persons to visits by family members and establish contacts with the outside world represent a significant factor in achieving the resocialization of convicted persons and a prerequisite for their successful reintegration into social community. The rights of convicted persons serving prison sentences in penal institutions differ, first of all, depending on whether it is the general population of convicts or, on the other hand, the so-called special categories of persons sentenced to imprisonment. One of the basic rights of convicted persons serving their prison sentence in a penitentiary is the right to be visited by family members. The subject of the author's attention is precisely the right to visit family members, but also to have other contacts with the outside world. It is a right that, basically, all categories of convicted persons have, but the right to visits by family members, the scope and frequency of visits differs depending on the category and position of the convicted person in the institution and the possibility of using the extended rights (conveniences) of the convicted person.
Obstacles to realizing the right to dissolution of a co-ownership community

Published: July 2024

The paper examines potential obstacles to dissolution of a coownership community. Although the basic premise is that any co-owner can request the dissolution of the co-ownership community at any time, the presence of certain obstacles may result in its postponement. Delaying the dissolution to a later moment may stem from the will of the co-owners expressed in the form of an agreement to waive the right to dissolution. The paper suggests its optimal form, the need for introducing an annotation of the existence of this agreement in the real estate cadaster, and solutions regarding the preferred period of suspension of dissolution by such agreement. An obstacle to dissolution may result from circumstances where the co-owned thing serves a particular long-term purpose. These are instances of the so called non-independent co-ownership communities where the longer-term purpose for which the thing serves conditions the need for the peristence of the co-ownership community. Lastly, an obstacle expressed through the legal standard of inopportune time or harm to other co-owners reflects the obligatory nature of the co-ownership community, necessitating respect for the interests of other co-owners. If the obstacle is temporary rather than permanent and can be overcome in the near future, the court may postpone the dissolution provided that an evaluation of both parties' legitimate interests suggests so.

Background: Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is
a serious complication of COVID-19. Ferritin levels are used to assess severity
and to predict the clinical course of various systemic inflammatory diseases
that can cause cytokine storm. In this study, we investigated the clinical
manifestations of patients with MIS-C and compared the characteristics of MIS-C
with hyperferritinemia and MIS-C without hyperferritinemia.
Methods: Medical records of 22 patients hospitalized with MIS-C
from January 2020 to December 2022 were retrospectively reviewed. The
characteristics of the MIS-C with hyperferritinemia group (n = 11) and the MIS-C
without hyperferritinemia group (n = 11) were compared. Results:
All 22 patients with MIS-C had hyperinflammation, multi-organ dysfunction, and
laboratory evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Compared to the MIS-C without
hyperferritinemia group, the MIS-C with hyperferritinemia group had more severe
systemic inflammation (e.g., thrombocytopenia, hypoalbuminemia, and two or more
immunomodulators) and organ dysfunction (e.g., shock, number of involved organs,
and intensive care unit admission). There were no significant differences in
demographics and clinical findings between the two groups.
Conclusion: We found that hyperferritinemia is an important
feature of severe MIS-C in terms of systemic inflammation and organ dysfunction.
Subsequent studies are needed to evaluate the clinical significance of
hyperferritinemia in various Kawasaki disease (KD)-like hyperinflammatory
diseases, including MIS-C and severe KD.

DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A MICROCONTROLLER-BASED TEMPERATURE, HUMIDITY, AND PH MONITORING SYSTEM FOR HYDROPONIC GROWING MEDIA
Authors: Muchtar Akhyar , Fitriati Andi
Published: July 2024

The current government is actively promoting the cultivation of horticultural crops as a means of cost savings, reducing air pollution, and environmental conservation. Due to the limited available land, the community has shifted to using hydroponic growing media. However, to ensure optimal plant growth, it is essential to implement a system that controls temperature, humidity, and the pH level of the nutrient solution in the hydroponic setup. This research employs an experimental methodology, leveraging temperature sensors, pH sensors, NodeMCU, and the Blynk application. The findings of this study demonstrate that to optimize the control of temperature, humidity, and pH levels of the nutrient solution, it is necessary to periodically add both pure water and nutrient solution. The addition of pure water alone to the nutrient solution in the growing media causes the pH to fluctuate by an average of 0.4 units per 1000mL of pure water added. Temperature and humidity control within the nutrient solution of the hydroponic media can be maintained by adding pure water. The study results showed that the temperature was controlled between 18°C and 25.2°C, with humidity levels ranging from 60% to 75%. The data processing time, from sensor data acquisition, data processing on the NodeMCU, to data transmission from NodeMCU to the Blynk application, averages 1.22 seconds. The command transmission time to execution varies from 30 seconds to 90 seconds, depending on the distance between the system and the growing media. This study concludes that the addition of pure water must be accompanied by the addition of nutrients to ensure that, alongside maintaining temperature and humidity, the pH level remains within the desired set point range.
