Published: April 2024

This paper presents a model for super-rapid charging stations powered by renewable energy sources and conducts an analysis of land suitability based on climatic parameters. Initially, data on temperature, solar radiation, and specific humidity were collected for three designated areas, followed by an examination of the variations in these values. Among the three cities, Cernavoda, Medgidia, and Ovidiu, two equal segments of approximately 30 kilometers each were established for the installation of photovoltaic panel systems on both sides of navigable canals. With each segment measuring 30 kilometers in length, a linear area of 60 kilometers was covered on both sides, resulting in approximately 767 photovoltaic panels per kilometer and an installed power of 514 kW per kilometer. The total installed power for the entire 60 kilometers is approximately 30.84 MW, necessitating the division of the network into 1028 kW segments, each with a 1250 kVA transformer with a voltage of 20/0.4 kV. Fifteen transformer substations must be installed on each side of the canal, totaling 30 substations for the entire stretch. The energy produced by this system is utilized for three electric vehicle charging stations, positioned every 15 kilometers on each side of the canal, resulting in six charging stations per segment. Excess energy is injected into the national electrical grid (SEN) via 20/110 kV substations. To achieve optimal efficiency, a 2x25 MVA substation is supplied by 15 transformer substations, one for each side of the canal. The electric vehicle charging stations are of the super-rapid type, with a capacity of 2x175 kW. Initially, these stations exclusively rely on photovoltaic panels for approximately six hours each day, but energy storage batteries can be installed to ensure continuous operation, even during the evening hours. Comparing the analysis of the two segments, it is observed that there are slight differences. In the second segment, closer to the Black Sea with higher specific humidity, there is a slightly higher annual energy production of 390 kWh compared to the first segment, despite similar solar radiation values. Notably, this analysis reveals that specific humidity as a climatic parameter does not significantly influence the efficiency of photovoltaic panels compared to the other two parameters. Through this project, the aim is to reduce pollutant emissions from vehicles on public roads while simultaneously decreasing carbon emissions by replacing conventional electricity generation plants.

TAX BREAKS FOR THE ENERGY RENOVATION OF ITALIAN BUILT
HERITAGE. KEY ISSUES AND FUTURE PROSPECTS FOR A NEW
TRANSITION PROCESS
Authors: Garzulino Andrea
Published: April 2024

The transition of built heritage towards energy efficiency is a complex process, encompassing a wide range of aspects and challenges. Moreover, the ongoing climate change, marked by rising average temperatures and an increase in extreme weather events, amplifies the urgency to improve energy efficiency and the overall performance of buildings. This necessitates the crucial adoption of appropriate solutions. Within this scenario, the discussion brings to light two key elements that define the current situation. The first element pertains to the existing regulatory framework, extending its scope to include the recent proposal for revising the Energy Performance of Building Directive (EPBD), a component of the �fit for 55� package. The second element concentrates on the energy efficiency measures executed in Italy after the introduction of the �Superbonus 110%� tax break, offering an initial interpretation of ENEA�s data on the measures implemented until 2021. A thorough examination of these two elements allows us to pinpoint crucial factors that can help foster a model that harmoniously integrates the preservation of built heritage with the sustainability and effectiveness of energy efficiency measures.

Published: April 2024

A study of the bioregion paradigm reveals that bioregions can be diverse. A bioregion is a construct of the human mind that evolves to resist the continued destruction of wild systems in an effort to restore ecological balance. Latvia has a diverse landscape, relatively rich biological diversity and cultural heritage, which provides a solid foundation for the creation of potential bioregions. The UN Sustainable Development Goals, the European Green Deal and other documents offer solutions to make our farming more sustainable in the long term. Recently, these ideas have also been brought up to date in Latvia, where one of the topical issues is the identification of bioregion development opportunities. The research results reveal that, in general, the bioregion approach is suitable for the development of rural areas, as it promotes ecological sustainability, social justice, and place identity. In accordance with the procedure established by the legislation, 658 specially protected nature territories have been established in Latvia and their management is carried out by four regional structural units of the Nature Conservation Agency. By actualizing bioregions, it is potentially possible to solve various problems related to the full use of the economic potential of these territories. The purpose of the article is to emphasize the importance of biological diversity and protected areas in the creation of bioregions in Latvia.
THE ROLE OF LANDSCAPE DESIGN AND URBAN NATURE-BASED SOLUTIONS IN ADDRESSING GLOBAL CHALLENGES.
Authors: Vasilev Deins , Stevens Rodney , Bornmalm Lennart , Hazlett Richard
Published: April 2024

Urban green infrastructure has historically been used for aesthetical purposes, making landscapes visually pleasant. More recently the green infrastructure in urban and sub- urban areas has started to be applied to help solve a broad range of problems that city dwellers are facing. These problems include natural disasters, overheating, excessive flows rainwater, biodiversity decline and food insecurity among others. Thus, implementation of green infrastructure as Nature-based Solutions has become increasingly popular. This trend is likely to continue in future as global climate change poses more and more changes to city dwellers. Urbanization and population growth are likely to drive implementation of urban green infrastructure across the globe and especially in the Global South, where impacts of the global heating are likely to be particularly strong. Implementation of green infrastructure may be developed either mostly for aesthetical purposes or as Nature-based Solutions or both. It is, however, important to note that the integrated approach is likely to have the greatest potential to meet global challenges. Furthermore, implementation of the green infrastructure is likely to have the greatest positive impact when implemented as a holistic system rather than individual elements. Thus, there is a clear need to evaluate opportunities for green infrastructure development that could simultaneously maximize aesthetic impact and effectiveness of the urban green and blue spaces to act as Nature-based Solutions. Here we illustrate some of the variables and system dynamics involved. Using a simplified model with specific focus on food supply, system structural analysis suggests that the urbanization variables commonly considered in urban design models are not closely connected with those that would provide long-term sustainability. The positive feedback between variables within each of these two groups and negative impacts between groups create barriers to their combined assessment for practical mitigation actions. The various sub-systems and an expanded variable set can ideally be addressed with a similar methodology. We also discuss opportunities for integration and provide recommendations for policy makers, city planners and other stakeholders involved in construction and management of urban landscapes

Published: April 2024

Ponicka Cave, situated in central Slovakia, is a natural wonder, known for its stunning stalagmites, stalactites, and underground lakes. This unique cave system has a hydrological connection to the Earth's surface, representing a very vulnerable habitat. Long-lasting intensive livestock grazing in the aquifer area of Ponicka cave and insufficiently insulated manure dump were the main reasons for the contamination of this cave. Soil nematodes are the most abundant multicellular organisms on Earth with respect to both species� richness and abundance. They are ubiquitous invertebrates in the soil that include a variety of feeding types, and they perform key functions in soil food webs. They are considered as one of the best soils bioindicators. Although the mesofauna of caves in Slovakia is relatively well described, information about soil nematodes are missing. In this study, we present the first data on the fauna of free-living and plant-parasitic nematode species from soil taken in the Karst region (karst spring, ponor, sink hole) and manure. Totally we identified 54 nematode species across 43 genera, 28 families, and 9 orders. The highest number of identified nematode species (44) was observed in Ponor, while 33 species were observed in both the karst springs and in a sinkhole and only 8 species were found in manure. Bacterivores were the dominant trophic group in all sites. Differences in nematode species composition in sites around Ponicka Cave, showing the differences in the environmental conditions nearby and site characteristic. This study emphasizes how important it is to know, understand and protect the soil biota that plays an important role in keeping the cave and the surrounding environment healthy.

Authors: Marc Simona , Boldura Oana Maria , Savici Jelena , Paul Cristina , Otava Gabriel
Published: April 2024

Hypospadias is a developmental abnormality in which the male urethra opens on the underside of the penis or on the perineum and can be accompanied by penile aplasia or hypoplasia, hypoplasia of the corpus cavernosum, incomplete formation of the prepuce, or cryptorchidism [1]. In animals, it rarely appears in horses, sheep, goats, cattle, dogs, and cats as isolated cases with urogenital anomaly or with other abnormalities [2,3]. The aim of this paper is to present the hystological results in a crossbred calf seen with anterior hypospadias with syndromic evolution. Clinically, the penile urethra ventrally opened at approximately 4 cm caudal of the normal opening of the urethra, also, the prepuce was incompletely developed and had failed to fuse normally. The Hematoxylin-Eosin method was used for hystological examination of the urethra. Microscopically, the urethra wall was composed of mucosa with epithelium and lamina propria, vascular layer, thin muscle layer, and adventitia, a lax connective tissue. The formation that should be the corpus cavernosum was separated from the body of the corpus spongiosum and urethra. In the center of the structure there was a connective tissue strand made of converging trabeculae. However, between the trabeculae, where the cavernous spaces should be, there was an abundance of monolocular adipocytes. In conclusion, histological examination revealed the normal structure of the urethra with adipose degeneration into the corpus cavernosum.

Authors: Costinar Luminita , Herman Viorel , Pascu Corina
Published: April 2024

The golden jackal (Canis aureus), a mesocarnivore, is currently spreading from eastern to western Europe. In Europe, the golden jackal is considered an invasive species, as in recent years it has managed to populate extensive territories in Greece, Turkey, Slovenia, Serbia and Hungary. Bulgaria is considered the country with the largest population of jackals in Europe. In Romania it is frequently found from the plains of Dobrogea to Banat. The present work aimed to study and observe the newly developed antibiotic resistance profiles of intestinal bacterial flora isolated from these wild species and to compare our data with those existing in the literature. Duodenum samples from golden jackals were collected for primary bacteriological examinations. This study used common identification and isolation methods and modern identification techniques, such as proteomics and MALDI-TOF MS technique, for highly accurate information on the bacterial flora of the digestive system. Antibiograms were performed using the disc-diffusimetric method using antibiotics and chemotherapeutics belonging to several groups. Several bacterial species were isolated from the jackals studied: Serratia liquefaciens, Staphylococcus hominis and Aeromonas salmonicida. In Aeromonas salmonicida strains, antibiograms showed significant percentages of intermediate strains to most of the antimicrobials used and overall resistance to levofloxacin. The same behaviour was recorded for colistin and strains belonging to the Seratia and Streptococcus genera. Interestingly, some bacterial strains isolated showed resistance to levofloxacin, a third- generation fluoroquinolone, as this antimicrobial is banned for veterinary use in EU countries. The results are a wake-up call, as antibiotic resistance has been shown to be present in wild animal populations in Romania, with risk to public health.
SURGICAL MANAGEMENT OF A CASE OF MATURE CATARACT IN A DOG COMPLICATED BY IRIS-ANTERIOR LENS CAPSULE ADHESIONS USING PHACOEMULSIFICATION
Authors: Bonea Elena , Igna Cornel
Published: April 2024

Cataracts occur frequently in older dogs and can lead to partial or complete vision loss. In the present study, a 10-year-old male German shepherd was presented for eye evaluation because of his complete blindness. The diagnosis was bilateral mature cataracts with multiple iris adhesions to the anterior lens capsule in the right eye. This case report examines the process of performing complicated cataract surgery using phacoemulsification method for the patient's right eye. We began to perform surgery as an uncomplicated one, but curvilinear capsulorrhexis was performed only after careful surgical debridement of all adhesion, as close as possible to the anterior lens capsule to prevent iris blood vessel rupture. The hardened cataract lens was removed by phacoemulsification. The surgery was completed by inserting a high performance An- vision Fo-X-14 artificial intraocular lens (IOL), first canine IOL with extended depth of focus. Follow-up surgery the dog gained a better quality of life by becoming visual in the right eye. We checked the intraocular pressure for 1 month after surgery, which remained stable throughout this period. Although iris-anterior lens capsule adhesion can rarely occur in dogs, if debridement can be done carefully during surgery for good capsulorrhexis with preservation of the lenticular capsular bag, phacoemulsification of mature cataracts can also be done successfully. Knowing the eyes at risk, good management of complications is an important point for obtaining a good visual outcome after complicated cataract surgery in dogs.

Published: April 2024

Technological devices, which promote animal welfare in livestock farming and contribute to a reduction in environmental impact, have known increasing interest in the European Union (EU). For dairy cows, the contact technologies (sensors) on the body of animals not only facilitate animal welfare, but also support the milk productivity and better quality, thus economic production efficiency. According with available statistical data, showing a boost on productivity, the aim of the present work was to test whether the increase in the realised levels of raw milk could derive from technological factors. To validate this hypothesis a study on the evolutionary development of the reported statistical indicators of the two biologically related variables (cow, raw milk) was presented. The method chosen, made statistically significant, i.e. comparable in the statistical unit of measurement (coefficient of variation) to establish the strength of the linear relationship between the two variables and the corresponding evolution r2, relied on the intensity of the correlation (correlation coefficient r) between two statistical indicators, dairy cattle (independent variable) and raw milk (dependent variable). The results showed that EU quantity of raw cows�s milk realised in EU dairy farms, even in the presence of breaking events, never stopped growing. The representation of the variables� trends showed, a part of an exception, situations where the respective evolution were not perfectly linear between them. The values of the determination coefficient r2, from 2012-2016 to 2017-2021, in most of the Countries examined decreased. Thus, there were increases in cow�s milk, which conclusively could also be attributed to the adoption of digital devices and specifically to the contact sensors on the cow�s body adopted to ensure animal welfare, to optimize the use of production factors and to detect animal�s physiological activities.

Authors: Özkan Abuzer
Published: April 2024

Managing critically ill patients in the emergency department requires a comprehensive approach that encompasses rapid recognition, timely intervention, and continuous monitoring. These patients present with a spectrum of conditions ranging from trauma to septic shock, necessitating immediate medical attention to prevent further deterioration. The initial assessment follows the ABCDE approach, focusing on Airway, Breathing, Circulation, Disability, and Exposure. Resuscitation and stabilization efforts aim to restore perfusion and oxygenation to vital organs through fluid resuscitation, vasopressor therapy, and mechanical ventilation. Ongoing care involves vigilant monitoring of vital signs, laboratory parameters, and organ function, guiding therapeutic interventions, and informing decisions regarding escalation or de-escalation of care. Laboratory parameters, including inflammatory markers like C-reactive protein and neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio, play a crucial role in assessing the patient's condition, monitoring response to treatment, and predicting clinical outcomes. Multidisciplinary collaboration ensures comprehensive care tailored to the patient's needs, ultimately optimizing outcomes and reducing mortality in this high-risk population.

Authors: Zhang Xiaojun , Xing Yexuan
Published: April 2024

Feminist critics have made many innovative elaborations of the plays of Shakespeare, the most excellent writer of the Renaissance, expanding the interpretations of the various performances of his female characters. Romeo and Juliet is considered one of the most famous works of his writing career, which tells a romantic and tragic story from two young Italians in feudal times. However, Romeo and Juliet emphasizes more on the influence of inner experience on human choices as a tragedy. Despite the heroine lives in the Middle Ages, her willingness for love and personality liberation breaks the stereotype of women as weak and submissive. Therefore, this paper will explore Shakespeare’s rewriting of the image of Juliet as a medieval noble lady and analyze her unique humanism and desire for spiritual freedom.

Authors: Xiao Jinsong
Published: April 2024

Territorial space is the carrier of ecological civilization construction, and spatial planning is a tool to practice ecological civilization. However, the current spatial planning is relatively isolated from the element control and use control of territorial space, especially neglecting the space carrying the connection and flow of natural elements, resulting in the destruction of the system, integrity and mobility between the "mountain, water, forest, field, lake, grass, sand and ice" life communities, which has become an important problem hindering the sustainable development of territorial space. In this context, the author expands the existing concept of flow space that transmits people flow, logistics, capital flow, technology flow and information flow, and relying on the connotation of ecological flow, puts forward that ecological flow space is a space that carries natural activities that have an important impact on human survival and development, reflecting the mobility and connectivity of space in the ecological dimension. The ecological flow space is composed of geological disaster protection corridor, ventilation corridor, river water system corridor, hydrological cycle corridor, animal migration corridor and greenway. The ecological flow space management and control system constructed by the author is specifically composed of three parts: the "three levels and six categories" ecological flow space system, the ecological flow space zoning management and control system, and the ecological flow space activities and indicators management and control system, which reflects the systematization, integrity and mobility among the natural elements of the territorial space, and makes the spatial planning continue to become a tool for practicing ecological civilization.

Authors: Łukomski Rafał
Published: April 2024

The right to lodge a complaint is to protect the public interest, the interest of the complainant himself, or the interest of another party with his consent, and at the same time it is one of the means of influencing the state authorities by society. The party lodging the complaint expresses critical remarks as to the functioning of the competent authorities, pointing to the negligence, improper performance of official duties, or violation of the rule of law or the interests of the complainant, which he noticed. Undertaking by probation officers in the environment of charges in the course of enforcement proceedings may be the cause of raised objections to the work of probation officers and the way in which they perform their statutory tasks. These reservations most often take the form of complaints and concern both the scope of the probation officer's activities and the manner of their implementation. The procedure for considering complaints as not constituting constitutional matter is regulated in the laws and executive acts issued on the basis of statutory authorization. This study concerns the method of examining complaints brought against the activities of probation officers by charges and other entities. Complaint proceedings are of significant importance not only for the complainant himself, but also for the probation officer against whom the complaint has been lodged. The author, in view of the different practice of examining cases in individual judicial districts, focuses on presenting the most important issues relevant to the resolution of complaints about the activities of probation officers.

Introduction: nursing research is a scientific process that supports the practice of care by improving and generating new knowledge for incorporation into practice. However, it is limited by factors that affect the development of the research function, such as indicators that hinder the work of researchers and their investigative competencies.Objective: to determine the indicators associated with scientific production and competencies in clinical nurses at a specialized institute. Method: this was a non-experimental study with a quantitative, descriptive, correlational, and cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of a total of 248 nurses working in a specialized institute. Two instruments were used: the Scale of Indicators Associated with Scientific Production and the Instrument of Research Competencies. Results: regarding the indicators associated with scientific production, the highest scored dimension was preparation for research production (Me=3,00, RI=1,00), and the lowest scored dimension was teamwork and network formation (Me=0,00, RI=1,00). In the variable of scientific production competencies, the lowest scored dimension was dissemination (Me=20,00, RI=8,50). Conclusions: It is evident that the nursing professional's production is limited by factors supporting research. Moreover, scientific production can be boosted by identifying its relationship with the competencies required to conduct research in health institutions

Deep learning is a bunch of calculations in AI that endeavor to learn in numerous levels, comparing to various degrees of deliberation. It regularly utilizes counterfeit brain organizations. The levels in these learned factual models compare to unmistakable degrees of ideas, where more significant level ideas are characterized from lower-level ones, and a similar lower level idea can assist with characterizing numerous more elevated level ideas. As of late, an AI (ML) region called profound learning arose in the PC vision field and turned out to be exceptionally famous in many fields. It began from an occasion in late 2018, when a profound learning approach in light of a convolutional brain organization (CNN) won a mind-boggling triumph in the most popular overall com management rivalry, ImageNet Characterization. From that point forward, scientists in many fields, including clinical picture examination, have begun effectively partaking in the dangerously developing field of profound learning. In this section, profound learning procedures and their applications to clinical picture examination are studied. This study outlined 1) standard ML procedures in the PC vision field, 2) what has changed in ML when the presentation of profound learning, 3) ML models in profound learning, and 4) uses of profound figuring out how-to clinical picture examination. Indeed, even before the term existed, profound learning, in particular picture input ML, was applied to an assortment of clinical picture examination issues, including harm and non-harm characterization, harm type grouping, harm or organ division, and sore location

Introduction: the World Health Organisation (WHO) stresses the fundamental importance of exclusive breastfeeding. This approach helps prevent diseases that cause infant mortality, while decreasing the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, diabetes, and heart disease and hypertension in women.Objective: to analyse the importance of maternal nutrition by studying the components of milk in order to prevent pathologies in the short term.Methodology: a systematic search was carried out by reviewing the literature in scientific databases such as Pubmed, Elsevier, Springer, Scopus, Scielo published in the last 5 years, considering significant contributions in the areas of paediatrics and neonatology, as well as theoretical approaches, with the aim of reflecting the controversies that arise around avoidable pathologies in exclusive breastfeeding.Results: breastfeeding provides essential nutrients and immunological components that strengthen infant health and protect against disease by offering benefits such as protection against infectious diseases and allergies, and promotes optimal cognitive development. Although breastmilk substitutes have improved, they cannot match its unique benefits. Conclusion: exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months is critical to the health of the newborn, providing essential nutrients and strengthening the immune system. Although breast substitutes have advanced, they cannot match the benefits of breastfeeding. The importance of promoting breastfeeding to improve infant health and prevent disease is emphasized

Introduction: during the pandemic, nursing staff in the palliative care unit had to quickly adapt to an unknown situation, marked by uncertainty and constant changes in their action protocols.Objective: determine the perception of nursing care in patients with terminal-stage cancer in times of pandemic in the palliative care unit in a hospital in the city of Guayaquil.Method: qualitative, exploratory and phenomenological approach, guiding an interview with 15 nurses of the palliative care service.Results: the absence of an institutional model of palliative care in the hospital stands out, although the Ministry of Public Health (MSP) guidelines themselves are used and are not socialized. Despite the dedication of the health team, there are shortcomings in resources, a lack of specialized training and the need to select personnel with a vocation for palliative care. The needs of the patients include the eradication of symptoms and the relief of physical discomfort, while the needs of the nurse refer to the change in the service due to the emotional impact produced by the suffering of the patients. During the course of Covid-19, the isolation of the patient was generated, promoting their loneliness and anguish, in addition, the lack of resources, medical assistance and the support of their families predominated.Conclusions: comprehensive care, covering medical, psychological, social, economic and spiritual aspects, emerges as a crucial factor to alleviate physical discomfort, provide emotional support and preserve the dignity of patients during this stage
