Rights of investors in the context of algorithmic Artificial Intelligence technologies and automatization
Authors: Alekseenko Aleksandr
Published: September 2023

This study explores the profound impact of digital technologies on economic processes, particularly in the realm of investments. Financial organizations are leveraging digital platforms and algorithmic artificial intelligence (AI) to provide enhanced services to consumers. AI-powered algorithms surpass humans in processing vast amounts of information, leading to improved price discovery and reduced transaction costs. Robo-advisors, empowered by AI, have become pivotal players in financial markets, offering personalized investment portfolios based on risk profiles and objectives. While algorithmic AI technologies eliminate human errors and streamline decision-making, they also introduce new risks. Flaws in algorithm construction, intentional errors, cybersecurity vulnerabilities, and the regulatory challenges of supervising self-learning algorithms are concerns. Additionally, the rise of blockchain platforms has transformed cryptocurrencies and digital tokens into new tradable assets with their own protection challenges. Researchers emphasize that the wealth of data and correlations facilitated by AI can have unintended consequences, and the development of proper supervision and control mechanisms is vital. As the financial landscape continues to evolve, it becomes crucial for investors and regulators to navigate the complexities of digital technologies and address the emerging Global Technology Risk (GTR).

Published: September 2023

Background: The aim of the study was to determine the percentage of bond failures of placed brackets with a modified direct method in patients of both genders, different ages and malocclusion types during 12 months of initial bonding. Material and Methods: The retrospective clinical study covered the period from November 2019 to December 2022 and included thirty patients with an average age of 17.07±5.35 8 males,(average age 18.77±7.87), and 22 females, (average age 16.45±4.17) who met the criteria. A total of 600 brackets with a 0.022" slot size (Mini Sprint ® , Forestadent, Germany) were placed by a modified direct method using thin paste adhesive (Reliance Light Bond™, Itasca, USA) by one operator. The observation of bond failures lasted 12 months. Results: The total number of bond failures was 10 (1.67%), where eight patients (26,7%) experienced unwanted debonding. The number of failed brackets in relation to age and malocclusion did not show statistical significance. There was a clinical difference between the genders, in 18.2% of women and in 50% of men. Statistical significance in number of failed brackets was not significant (HR=0.343; 95% CI: 0.084-1.394; p=0.135). Conclusion: The modified direct bonding method did not show differences at the level of age, gender and type of malocclusion, but it can be one of the methods of choice during direct bonding.

Introduction: Cheiloscopy is defined as the study of the sulci labiorum, known as "lip prints". Aim of the study: The aim of this study was to determine the morphological characteristics of the lip grooves in the three dominant nationalities in the Republic of North Macedonia (Macedonians, Albanians, Roma) and to compare the obtained results with the morphological characteristics of the lip grooves in three other populations from different geographical regions. Material and methods: In this research, we included 150 examinees aged 25-50 years and divided them into three groups: Macedonians (50), Albanians (50) and Roma (50). The lip prints were taken using microscopic slides and detected using the dactyloscopic powder and brush method. We used the Suzuki and Tsuchihashi classification to typify the lip prints. Results: The most common type of lip grooves in the population of the Republic of North Macedonia was the type II grooves. There was no significant difference in the presence of different types of lip grooves in the four quadrants between males and females, nor between Macedonians, Albanians and Roma. The comparative analysis showed that populations from different geographical areas had different anthropological and morphological characteristics of the lip grooves. Conclusion: Type II lip grooves are the most common in the population of the Republic of North Macedonia and there is no statistically significant difference between the prevalence of different types of lip grooves in the three nationalities in this study. Considering the large number of factors that can affect the quality of the lip print, we recommend that a swab should always be taken before collecting the lip print in order to attempt to extract DNA material from the found trace.

Background: The present study aims to determine the relationship between the level of periodontal pocket depth with the weight of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)using an analytical balance. Material and Methods: This is an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. The level of periodontal pocket depth was analyzed by probing. Twenty-seven subjects were divided into three groups, namely, group 1 (with normal pocket depth: 0-3.5 mm), group 2 (pocket depth of 3.6-5.5 mm), and group 3 (pocket depth of more than 5.5 mm). GCF sampling was conducted by the infraclavicular method using paper points and its weight measurement wit han analytical balance. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance followed by post hoc Tukey test to determine the comparison of GCF's weight between groups. The correlation was determined using the Pearson correlation test. Results: The average of GCF's weight obtained respectively in each group was 0.352 ± 0.09 mcg, 0.598 ± 0.10 mcg, and 0.899 ± 0.06 mcg. There was a significant difference (p < 0.001) with the highest GCF's weight was found in the pocket depth group >5.5 mm. The Pearson correlation test showed that there was a positive correlation between the depth of the periodontal pocket and the weight of GCF. Conclusion: The level of periodontal pocket depth is related to the weight of GCF.

Authors: Dizdarević-Spahić Mervana
Published: September 2023

Purpose: The purpose of the research was to establish and mutually complement the frequency of hypodontia and hyperdontia in selected locations of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to assess the participation of hereditary factors in the registered heterogeneity. Respondents and Procedures: A sample of 1,640 children of school age, both sexes, aged 12-14, served as the subject of research. The sample was collected from five urban centers in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina: Sarajevo, Mostar, Tuzla, Bihać and Gorazde. In order to estimate the difference in the number of respondents by sex, as well as in assessing the differences in the frequency of observed anomalies (hyperdontia and hypodontia), a ch 2 test with a statistical significance limit p <0.05 was applied. The Fisher Exact Test was used to assess the correlation between the occurrence of hyperdontia and hypodontia between children and parents. Scientifically verified ver. Ver. MedCalc 11.5.0.0. In order to evaluate the distinction between possible hereditary and non-positive factors, an assessment of heritability was performed (h) by applying regression analysis (parent-offspring regression). Results: A total of 40 children with anomalies of the number of teeth were identified, of which 16 boys and 24 girls. There was no statistically significant difference in the frequency of hypodontia and hyperdontia between boys and girls with respect to geographic regions (ch 2 = 0.500; P = 0.9735). Conclusion: The total prevalence of hypodontia and hyperdontia was 2.43. The prevalence of hypodontia is 1.58, and the hyperdontia is 0.85. The relative risk of anomalies in the number of teeth in children is 8,965 and is statistically significant, indicating that the likelihood of the occurrence of this disorder in children whose at least one parent has the same anomaly is greater.

Published: September 2023

Introduction: Odontogenic malformations of teeth can be frequently encountered affecting both the primary and permanent dentition. The co-occurrence of talon cusp in a fused tooth, however, is an uncommon developmental dental aberration that necessitates a variety of prophylactic procedures to minimize potential consequences. Often, the presence of talon's cusp can result in pulpal necrosis due to its deep extension, which increases functional complexity. Methods: The present case describes the fusion of a supplemental tooth to a maxillary permanent tooth in conjunction with multiple talon's cusps on labial and palatal aspects which is an extremely rare entity and first of its kind. Results: Endodontic management followed by esthetic reconstruction of the affected tooth is considered as the standard treatment in cases of pulpal involvement of any odontogenically malformed tooth. Our case also demonstrates the establishment of an accurate diagnosis using a three-dimensional imaging modality by overcoming the challenges of periapical radiographs. Conclusion: In addition to diagnosis, practitioners should also have an in-depth understanding of the origin, prevalence, clinical and radiographic characteristics of odontogenic malformations, which AIDS in an effective treatment strategy.

Introduction: Hospitalized patients have an increased risk of developing infections caused by Clostridioides difficile. Due to the changing epidemiology of C. difficile, it is necessary to educate nurses about the implementation of prevention measures, but also about the criteria for obtaining a quality sample of feces in order to establish an etiological diagnosis in a timely manner. The aim of the study was to assess gaps and flaws in C. difficile infection (CDI) prevention policies and practices, and to determine whether a nurses knowledge about early identification and isolation of CDI patients improved after education. Methods: The research was conducted in a quasi-experimental study at the University Clinical Center of the Republka Srpska (UKC RS) in the period from May 2020 to December 2021 on a sample of 60 nurses. A survey questionnaire Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was used as a research instrument and it was intended for the assessment of knowledge, attitudes and understanding about procedures for the prevention of infection with C. difficile. The applied strategy to prevent hospital CDI was based on the introduction of the concept of "package of care", which was based on scientific evidence. For the education of nurses, interactive educational modules were used that contained detailed prevention measures CDI in hospital conditions in accordance with the guidelines. Before and after the education, the participants completed a knowledge test about C. difficile and prevention CDI.The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the UKC RS. Results: Only 5 (8.3%) respondents stated that they were informed about CDI prevention during the visit of a nurse from the infection control team. Most of the shortcomings during the assessment of CDI prevention at the observed clinics were related to the practice of sending feces samples for laboratory testing for C. difficile. Nurses showed highly statistically significant (p<0.001) better knowledge about the importance of early identification of C. difficile and isolation of CDI patients in the post-education test. Conclusions: The implementation of a CDI prevention protocol intended for nurses can be one of the algorithms that will precisely identify C. difficile, and thus successfully implement CDI prevention measures.
Nadežda Petrović in the Prizren and Valjevo war military hospital: Searching for the time and place of origin of two museum objects
Authors: Krivošejev Vladimir
Published: September 2023

One of the symbols of the suffering of Valjevo and Serbia in the great typhus epidemic from the first half of 1915 is the famous Serbian painter Nadežda Petrović. As a volunteer nurse, looking after the sick, she herself succumbed to this dangerous disease. In addition to various historical texts, two visual documents are related to Nadežda's stay in Valjevo: a photograph, in which Nadežda, with a group of doctors, stands in front of the hospital building, and an art painting that Nadežda painted, but did not write the name or year of origin. It was considered to be her last work of art and that is why it was later, after the place and year of the painter's death, named Valjevo Hospital in 1915. New historical sources and additional analyses have indicated that the mentioned photograph was certainly not taken in Valjevo in 1915, during the First World War, but during the First Balkan War, in Prizren in 1913. This knowledge opened the possibility that the famous art painting was not painted in Valjevo, but in Prizren. Among other facts, this possibility is indicated by the fact that the hospital where Nadežda worked and died in 1915 was located in the barracks, and the picture shows hospital tents, as Nadežda mentioned in one of her letters written in Prizren in 1913.

The use of AI-powered educational technologies (AI-EdTech) offers a range of advantages to students, instructors, and educational institutions. While much has been achieved, several challenges in managing the data underpinning AI-EdTech are limiting progress in the field. This paper outlines some of these challenges and argues that data management research has the potential to provide solutions that can enable responsible and effective learner-supporting, teacher-supporting, and institution-supporting AI-EdTech. Our hope is to establish a common ground for collaboration and to foster partnerships among educational experts, AI developers and data management researchers in order to respond effectively to the rapidly evolving global educational landscape and drive the development of AI-EdTech.
