Study on major legal issues and solutions in pandemic treaty negotiations
Authors: Chen Weiqi
Published: September 2024

In December 2021, WHO’s 194 member states began reaching a consensus to start the process of drafting and negotiating a pandemic treaty under the WHO Act. Although there is already a PHEIC system to deal with sudden public health events such as pandemics, the system is not sufficient to deal with global pandemic events. The draft WHO Pandemic Agreement reflects the negotiating process until 24 May 2024. The negotiating team is faced with legal issues such as the treatment of the relationship between the pandemic treaty and the International Health Regulations, the determination of the contracting model, the attribution of the pandemic definition power and the construction of the dispute settlement mechanism. Through a study of the articles of the current draft and a comparative analysis with other treaties, this paper discusses the need to distinguish the functions of the pandemic treaty and the International Health Regulations (IHR), adopt a soft and hard contracting model, establish an open and transparent pandemic determination mechanism, reform the institutional functions of WHO, and establish an effective dispute settlement mechanism in order to solve the above problems. Ultimately, fairness and justice in international public health governance will be achieved.

Published: September 2024

Cultured meat has the potential to provide a complementary meat industry with reduced environmental, ethical, and health impacts. However, major technological challenges remain which require time-and resource-intensive research and development efforts. Machine learning has the potential to accelerate cultured meat technology by streamlining experiments, predicting optimal results, and reducing experimentation time and resources. However, the use of machine learning in cultured meat is in its infancy. This review covers the work available to date on the use of machine learning in cultured meat and explores future possibilities. We address four major areas of cultured meat research and development: establishing cell lines, cell culture media design, microscopy and image analysis, and bioprocessing and food processing optimization. In addition, we have included a survey of datasets relevant to CM research. This review aims to provide the foundation necessary for both cultured meat and machine learning scientists to identify research opportunities at the intersection between cultured meat and machine learning.

Published: September 2024

The traditional method of detecting crop nutrients is based on the direct chemical detection method in the laboratory, which causes great damage to crops. In order to solve the above problems, the main goal of this study is to design a precise fertilization method for greenhouse vegetables based on the improved back-propagation neural network (IM-BPNN) algorithm to increase fertilizer utilization efficiency, reduce production costs, and improve the economic viability of agriculture. First, soil samples from the farm in china are selected. With the laboratory treatment, available phosphorus, available potassium, and alkaline nitrogen are extracted. These data are preprocessed by the z-score (zero-mean normalization) standardization method. Then, the BPNN (backpropagation neural network) algorithm is improved by being trained and combined with the characteristics of the dual particle swarm optimization algorithm. After that, the soil sample data are divided into training and test sets, and the model is established by setting parameters, weights, and network hierarchy. Finally, the NBTY (nutrient balance target yield),BPNN (backpropagation neural network) and IM-BPNN algorithm are used to calculate the amount of fertilizer. Compared with the BPNN and NBTY algorithm, it shows that the IM-BPNN algorithm can more accurately determine the amount of fertilizer required by vegetables and avoid over-application, which can improve fertilizer utilization efficiency, reduce production costs, and improve the economic feasibility of agriculture.

Two in vivo experiments were conducted to evaluate the potential of Pharbitis nil seeds (PA) as an anti-methanogenic additive to ruminant feed. In experiment 1, six Hanwoo steers (459.0 ± 25.8 kg) were fed either a total mixed ration (TMR; 32-d period) or TMR supplemented with PA at 5% dry matter (DM) intake (TMR-PA; 45-d period) for two consecutive periods. Fecal and urine outputs were measured in an apparent digestibility trial in both periods. Methane (CH4) yield and heat energy (HE) were measured using respiratory chambers equipped with gas analyzers. In experiment 2, five rumen cannulated Holstein steers (744 ± 35 kg) were fed the same TMR or TMR-PA diets for 40 days; rumen samples were collected at 0, 1.5, and 3 h after feeding on the last day of the feeding period. In experiment 1, although there were no differences (p > 0.05) in nutrients or gross energy intake (GEI) between the groups, an increase (p < 0.05) in the apparent digestibility of DM (9.1%) and neutral detergent fiber (22.9%) was observed in the TMR-PA fed Hanwoo steers. Pronounced decreases (p < 0.05) in CH4 (g/Kg DM; 17.1%) and urinary N excretion (% N intake; 7.6%) were observed in the TMR-PA group, leading to a 14.7% increase in metabolizable energy intake (% GEI). However, only a numerical increase (p > 0.05) in retained energy was observed due to the increase in HE loss. In experiment 2, a drastic decrease (p < 0.05) in rumen ammonia concentration (56.3%) associated with an increased (p = 0.091) rumen short-chain fatty acid concentration 1.5 h after feeding were observed in TMR-PA fed Holstein steers. A 26.6% increase (p < 0.05) in the propionate proportion during the treatment period clearly reflected a shift in the ruminal H2 sink after 3 h of feeding. A 40% reduction (p = 0.067) in the relative abundance of rumen protozoa Entodinium caudatum was also observed. It was concluded that PA could be a natural feed additive for CH4 and N emission abatement.
Adaptive Neural Network Control of Four-Switch Buck–Boost Converters
Authors: Ren Luoyao , Wang Dazhi , Zhang Yupeng
Published: September 2024

Based on the adaptive control structure of neural networks, this paper proposes a novel output voltage control strategy for DC converters. The strategy regulates the inductor current to maintain a constant voltage by adjusting the duty cycle of four-switch buck—boost (FSBB) converters. A nonlinear average model for the FSBB converter, derived from its energy consumption, is introduced, and its effectiveness is demonstrated through simulations. The simulations confirm that the FSBB converter enables zero-voltage switching (ZVS) of the four switches across the entire operating voltage range. The comparative simulation results show that the proposed control strategy achieves faster voltage regulation while ensuring ZVS, leading to improved converter performance across the full power range.

Published: September 2024

As the most promising high energy density technology, lithium metal batteries are associated with serious interfacial challenges because the electrolytes employed are unable to meet the requirements of both electrodes simultaneously, namely, the systems that work for Li metal are highly likely to be unsuitable for the cathode, and vice versa. In this study, we investigate the synergistic effects of lithium bis (oxalate) borate (LiBOB), fluoroethylene carbonate (FEC) and adiponitrile (ADN) to develop a formula that is compatible with both elements in the battery. The solid–electrolyte interphase (SEI) multi-layer generated from LiBOB and FEC successfully protects the electrolyte from the lithium and suppresses the decomposition of ADN on lithium, identified by the tiny amounts of isonitriles on the surface of the anode. Simultaneously, most of the ADN molecules remain and protect the cathode particles via the absorption layer of the nitrile groups, in the same way that this process works in commercial lithium-ion batteries. Benefiting from the stable interfacial films formed synchronously on the anode and cathode, the Li/LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 cells with an area capacity of ~3 mAh cm−2 operate stably beyond 250 cycles and target the accumulated capacity to levels as high as ~653.4 mAh cm−2. Our approach demonstrates that electrolyte engineering with known additives is a practical strategy for addressing the challenges of lithium batteries.
Blockchain Technology Adoption by Critical Stakeholders in Prefabricated Construction Supply Chain Based on Evolutionary Game and System Dynamics
Authors: Zhou Rui , Wang Jin , Zhu Dongli
Published: September 2024

Blockchain technology (BT) is a promising solution to address information asymmetry and trust issues in the prefabricated construction supply chain (PCSC). However, its practical application in PCSC remains limited under the influence of stakeholders’ adoption strategies. While previous studies have analyzed drivers and barriers to BT adoption, they often take a static view, neglecting the long-term dynamic decision-making interactions between stakeholders. This study addresses this gap by examining the interests of owners, general contractors, and subcontractors, and by developing a tripartite evolutionary game model to analyze the interaction mechanism of the strategy of adopting BT in PCSC. Additionally, a system dynamics simulation validates the evolution of stabilization strategies and examines the impact of key parameters. The results indicate that successful BT adoption requires technology maturity to surpass a threshold between 0.5 and 0.7, along with a fair revenue and cost-sharing coefficient between general contractors and subcontractors, ranging from 0.3 to 0.5 at the lower limit and 0.7 to 0.9 at the upper limit. Notably, general contractors play a pivotal role in driving BT adoption, acting as potential leaders. Furthermore, appropriate incentives, default compensation, and government subsidies can promote optimal adoption strategies, although overly high incentives may reduce owners’ willingness to mandate BT adoption. This study provides practical insights and policy recommendations for critical stakeholders to facilitate the widespread adoption of BT in PCSC.

Published: September 2024

Isothermal constant-strain-rate compression experiments of S280 ultrahigh-strength stainless steel were conducted at 800–1150 °C, 0.001–10 s−1, and 70% height reduction. The flow stress behaviors were analyzed based on the compression data. The strain compensation Arrhenius constitutive relation, multiple linear regression constitutive relation, and back-propagation (BP) neural network constitutive relation of this alloy were established for the first time. The S280 ultrahigh-strength stainless steel is characterized by a positive strain rate and negative temperature sensitivity. Its flow stress at high temperature (1000–1150 °C) and low temperature (800–950 °C) is generally at the steady state and the softening state, respectively. The three new flow stress constitutive relations all meet the requirements for engineering applications in terms of predictive precision. The BP neural network constitutive relation shows the highest predictive precision, with correlation coefficient R of 0.999 and average absolute relative error AARE of 1.04%. The strain compensation Arrhenius constitutive relation shows the lowest predictive precision, with R of 0.994 and AARE of 14.748%. The multiple linear regression constitutive relation shows the modest predictive precision, with R of 0.994 and AARE of 6.24%.

Authors: Mishra Toshika , Machireddy Jyothi , Vuppu Suneetha
Published: September 2024

Hygiene practices are crucial for the production of fermented products, as they affect both product quality and safety. Fermented products, including dairy-based such as kefir, kombucha, and traditional ethnic drinks, rely on beneficial microbes. However, poor cleanliness might introduce dangerous microorganisms, jeopardizing customer health and product stability. This study aims to discuss the key hygiene measures required for safe and high-quality drinkable dairy-based and plant-based fermented product production and to avoid cross-contamination, fermentation vessels, utensils, and storage containers should be cleaned and sterilized regularly. Personal hygiene for workers is also critical, including adequate handwashing, the use of protective equipment, and hygiene protocol training. Another key part of industrial facility management is environmental control and furthermore, adopting Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) systems allows for the systematic identification and mitigation of production-related risks. Regular microbiological examination of items and surfaces helps to ensure that hygiene methods are effective and that the products fulfill safety requirements. Therefore, strict hygiene measures must be followed when creating fermented drinks to provide safe, high-quality products. Such procedures not only protect consumer health, but also improve product shelf life and sensory properties, increasing consumer trust and satisfaction.

Sonoporation stimulates cell growth as it improves the permeability of the membrane and increases the uptake of impermeable molecules in the extracellular matrix. We evaluated the effects of substrates (whey, whole, and skim milk) and ultrasonic treatments (ultrasonication and thermosonication) on the antioxidant activity (AA) of water-soluble kefir postbiotics (WSKPs). The samples were evaluated in terms of antioxidant activity (ABTS, DPPH, FRAP, and ORAC), water-soluble protein content, proteolysis (SDS-PAGE profiles), and cell membrane permeability. The levels of AA in all WSKPs depended on the substrate and method of obtaining them. However, the WSKPs from whey had higher antioxidant activity with DPPH (11.11 mg TE/100 mL), ABTS (12.77 mg TE/100 mL), and FRAP (5.18 mg TE/100 mL). Also, the WSKPs from whey had the highest values for water-soluble protein (1.45–1.32 mg/mL) and proteolysis degree and the lowest percentage of dead cells (11.4–28%). These results suggest that the production of WSKPs from whey might add value to whey production. Furthermore, WSKPs have potential as a functional ingredient in the production of beverages or foods with antioxidant activity.

Published: September 2024

Hydrogels elaborated from Dasylirion spp. and enriched with grape seed extract (GSE) were investigated for tentative use in dental treatment. Cellulose-GSE hydrogels were elaborated with varying GSE contents from 10 to 50 wt%. The mechanical and physical properties, antimicrobial effect, biocompatibility, and in vitro cytotoxicity were studied. In all the cases, the presence of GSE affects the hydrogel’s mechanical properties. The elongation decreased from 12.67 mm for the hydrogel without GSE to 6.33 mm for the hydrogel with the highest GSE content. The tensile strength decrease was from 52.33 N/mm2 (for the samples without GSE) and went to 40 N/mm2 for the highest GSE content. Despite the adverse effects, hydrogels possess suitable properties for manipulation. In addition, all hydrogels exhibited excellent biocompatibility and no cytotoxicity, and the antibacterial performance was demonstrated against S. mutans, E. Faecalis, S. aureus, and P. aureginosa. Furthermore, the hydrogels with 30 wt% GSE inhibited more than 90% of the bacterial growth.
Cellulose Fiber with Enhanced Mechanical Properties: The Role of Co-Solvents in Gel-like NMMO System
Authors: Kim Suhnue , Lee Darae , Kim Hyungsup
Published: September 2024

Cellulose has garnered attention in the textile industry, but it exhibits limitations in applications that require high strength and modulus. In this study, regenerated cellulose fiber with enhanced mechanical properties was fabricated from a gel-like N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO)–cellulose solution by modulating the intermolecular interaction and conformation of the cellulose chains. To control the interaction, two types of co-solvents (dimethyl acetamide (DMAc) and dimethyl formamide (DMF)) were added to the cellulose solutions at varying concentrations (10, 20, and 30 wt%). Rheological analysis showed that the co-solvents reduced the solution viscosity by weakening intermolecular interactions. The calculated distance parameter (Ra) in Hansen space confirmed that the co-solvent disrupted intermolecular hydrogen bonding within cellulose chains. The solutions were spun into fiber via a simple wet spinning process and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and universal testing machine (UTM). The addition of co-solvent led to an increased crystallinity index (C.I.) owing to the extended cellulose chains. The modulus of the resulting fiber was increased when the co-solvent concentration was 10 wt%, regardless of the co-solvent type. This study demonstrates the potential for enhancing the mechanical properties of cellulose-based products by modulating the conformation and interaction of cellulose chains through the addition of co-solvent.

Authors: Manaila Elena , Craciun Gabriela
Published: September 2024

Hybrid hydrogels with superabsorbent properties based on acrylic acid (20%), sodium alginate (0.5%) and poly(ethylene oxide) (0.1%) were obtained by electron-beam irradiation between 5 and 20 kGy, and are characterized by different physical and chemical methods; the first results reported showed gel fractions over 87%, cross-link densities under 9.9 × 103 mol/cm3 and swelling degrees of 400 g/g. Two types of hydrogels (without and with 0.1% initiator potassium persulfate) have been subjected to swelling and deswelling experiments in different swelling media with different pHs, chosen in accordance with the purpose for which these superabsorbent materials were obtained, i.e., water and nutrients carriers for agricultural purposes: 6.05 (distilled water), 7.66 (tap water), 5.40 (synthetic nutrient solution) and 7.45 (organic nutrient solution). Swelling kinetics and swelling dynamics have been also studied in order to investigate the influence of swelling media type and pH on the absorption phenomenon. The swelling and deswelling behaviors were influenced by the hydrogel characteristics and pH of the swelling media. Both the polymeric chain relaxation (non-Fickian diffusion) and macromolecular relaxation (super case II) phenomenon were highlighted as a function of swelling media type.

A Novel Cross Tetrachiral Honeycomb Metamaterial with Designable Static and Dynamic Performances
Authors: Liu Fengming , Shao Shixuan , Wang Weihan , Xia Rongyu , Negahban Mehrdad , Li Zheng
Published: September 2024

A novel cross tetrachiral honeycomb metamaterial is proposed, which not only possesses the negative Poisson’s ratio property, but also has a wide-frequency bandgap. The effective elastic parameters of the cross tetrachiral honeycomb are first theoretically analyzed; then, its designable performances for negative Poisson’s ratio and elastic modulus are studied by varying geometric parameters. The dynamic properties of the cross tetrachiral honeycomb metamaterial are investigated by analyzing the band structure. It is shown that without the addition of external mass to the structure, a designable wide bandgap can be generated to isolate the in-plane waves effectively by selecting the ligament angles and the radius of central cylinder. In addition, an effective approach is proposed for tuning the bandwidth without changing the geometric parameters of the structure. Compared to classical negative Poisson’s ratio metamaterials, the proposed cross tetrachiral honeycomb metamaterial is designable and tunable for achieving a specific static or dynamic performance, and has potential applications in engineering practice.
Hyperspectral Attention Network for Object Tracking
Authors: Yu Shuangjiang , Ni Jianjun , Fu Shuai , Qu Tao
Published: September 2024

Hyperspectral video provides rich spatial and spectral information, which is crucial for object tracking in complex scenarios. Despite extensive research, existing methods often face an inherent trade-off between rich spectral information and redundant noisy information. This dilemma arises from the efficient utilization of hyperspectral image data channels. To alleviate this problem, this paper introduces a hierarchical spectral attention network for hyperspectral object tracking. We employ a spectral band attention mechanism with adaptive soft threshold to examine the correlations across spectral bands, which integrates the information available in various spectral bands and eliminates redundant information. Moreover, we integrate spectral attention into a hierarchical tracking network to improve the integration of spectral and spatial information. The experimental results on entire public hyperspectral competition dataset WHISPER2020 show the superior performance of our proposed method compared with that of several related methods in visual effects and objective evaluation.
Research on Influencing Factors of Catch-Up in Complex Product Systems: Taking the China Manned Space Engineering Application System as an Example
Authors: Chu Yuanyuan , Xu Li
Published: September 2024

In the face of escalating global competition in science and technology, complex product systems (CoPS) have emerged as a significant indicator of comprehensive national strength. The exploration of the catch-up phenomenon holds substantial implications for subsequent development of CoPS. Existing CoPS research often focuses on a single engineering task (such as high-speed rail) and market logic (such as the telecommunications industry), examining the catch-up phenomenon from a single or hard-power perspective. However, the China Manned Space Engineering Application System (CMSEAS), with its significant international influence and dual characteristics of scientific research and engineering development, presents a different scenario. Its market value is difficult to be reflected in a short time, making the relevance of existing research limited. This study selected CMSEAS as a case, and acquired data through interviews, internal meetings, on-site observations, official websites, archives, and other forms. Based on grounded theory, open coding, axial coding, selective coding, and a saturation test were carried out, and a catch-up model of CoPS was constructed by considering various influencing factors. The results show that the catch-up is driven by five major factors: support force is the basic condition for its gradual growth; the management system, technical capability, and human resource are interdependent and serve as the direct drivers of the catch-up; and social influence plays a significant role in propelling the catch-up indirectly. Notably, the setup of a general department, interaction among different factors, cultural soft power, and social influence serve as useful complements to previous studies.

Published: September 2024

Introdução: A tuberculose (TB) é uma doença infecciosa associada a condições socioeconômicas precárias e vulnerabilidade em saúde. Em Governador Valadares, entre 2016 e 2020, a TB apresentou incidência de 26,4 a 37,0 casos por 100 mil habitantes, sendo um importante problema de saúde pública. O manejo da TB no município é centralizado no CREDEN-PES, com algumas ações descentralizadas para a atenção primária à saúde (APS). Objetivo: Avaliar o julgamento dos profissionais da APS de Governador Valadares sobre o manejo da TB, considerando a realização de ações nas unidades de saúde e outros pontos da Rede de Atenção à Saúde (RAS). Material e Métodos: Estudo descritivo e quantitativo, com dados coletados de maio a setembro de 2022, sob a ótica da educação permanente em saúde. Resultados: Dos 62 profissionais que participaram, 40,3% não souberam opinar sobre a realização de radiografia de tórax na RAS; 11,3% consideraram inadequada a busca de pacientes faltosos ou em abandono; 14,5% avaliaram que a investigação de óbito por TB não é realizada; e 8,0% julgaram que a atenção multiprofissional e o matriciamento de casos complexos não são executados. Conclusão: Os profissionais da APS demonstraram desconhecimento sobre várias ações de manejo da TB no município. Algumas ações, embora descentralizadas, não são realizadas de forma adequada, conforme protocolos. A pesquisa aponta para a necessidade de ampliar as iniciativas de educação permanente e melhorar a disseminação de fluxos e informações oficiais sobre o manejo da TB na RAS local.

Agrivoltaic Decision Tools for Perennial and Field Crop Farmers
Authors: Fitzsimmons Jill , Kim Tae-hyun
Published: September 2024

This article describes a series of spreadsheet-based tools to help farmers estimate costs, revenues, and yields from agricultural production under different configurations of agrivoltaic installations for field and perennial crops. Crop-specific log books allow farmers to project changes in activity-level costs from the field due to agrivoltaic installations. The whole-farm tool helps farmers aggregate activity-level net returns up to the farm level to calculate projections of trade-offs between crop production with or without agrivoltaic installations. We present tools for lettuce and cranberries, but the tools are comprehensive and inclusive and so can be modified for other perennial and field crops.

Identification of Suspicious Addresses in Public Blockchains: a Survey
Authors: Зенюк Д.А.
Published: September 2024

В работе дан обзор различных подходов к проблеме выявления подозрительных адресов в публичных блокчейнах с помощью методов машинного обучения, в первую очередь, методов классификации. Эта задача весьма актуальны в связи с тем, что все легальные участники рынка криптоактивов сейчас должны соблюдать достаточно строгие правила по уточнению источников средств, участвующих в любой обрабатываемой транзакции. Несмотря на то, что Bitcoin и подобные ему платежные системы считаются анонимными, алгоритмы, использующие последние достижениях в области машинного обучения и искусственного интеллекта вместе с тщательным подбором признаков, описывающих наблюдения, могут демонстрировать весьма хорошие результаты. Рассмотрение ведется в основном для сети Bitcoin, но отмечено несколько интересных примеров для Ethereum. Насколько можно судить, обзор такого рода публикуется на русском языке впервые.

The paper surveys techniques for identification of potentially malicious addresses in public blockchains based on machine learning, foremost, classification methods. This problem is especially important now, when all legal platforms must abide to strict rules and verify sources of every processed transaction. Despite seeming anonymity of Bitcoin and similar systems, algorithms based on recent advances in machine learning and AI with thorough feature selection demonstrate quite good quality. Exposition is mainly given for Bitcoin network, but several interesting examples for Ethereum are also mentioned.

Autor skupia się na otoczeniu prawnym, któ re początkowo uniemożliwiało powstawanie tego segmentu. Opisuje działania twórców radia RMF podejmowane w celu przełamania biurokratycznych ograniczeń , w tym wykorzystywanie luk prawnych i często sprzecznych interpretacji, forteli, któ re doprowadziły do powstania radia. Drugim aspektem jest budowanie zespołu redakcyjnego i programu. Do tworzenia oferty wykorzystywano badania rynku, a później słuchalności, co było na tamtym etapie zupełnym novum. Przenoszono do polskiej rzeczywistości doświadczenia radiofonii zagranicznej, głównie francuskiej. Niniejszy artykuł pokazuje realia rodzącego się rynku radiofonii w Polsce z perspektywy pierwszej niezależnej od władz, komercyjnej stacji Radia Małopolska FUN – RMF.

For the successful prevention of chronic diabetic complications, it is crucial to identify novel etiopathogenetic factors that contribute to their development. We evaluated the association of hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis activity (HPA) with the presence of chronic diabetic complications and glycemic control in 107 patients with type 2 diabetes and 29 healthysubjects, matched for age and sex. The study included 107 type 2 diabetic patients and 29 healthy control subjects who were hospitalized at the Internal Medicine Clinic of the University Clinical Center Tuzla. Patients with diabetes were evaluated for chronic complications and divided into two groups according to the presence (group 1, n = 57) and absence (group 2, n = 50) of complications. We determined the parameters of the HPA axis as follows: a level of 08 h cortisol and ACTH and a level of 09 hcortisol after a short dexamethasone test (DEX cortisol) and compared those among the groups. We determined the parameters of glycemic control and compared them with the parameters of the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal axis. In group 1, the values of cortisol were 454 (368–561), ACTH 12.6 (8.7–23), and DEX cortisol 37.5 (23-52), significantly higher compared to group 2 [320 (230–387), 7.9 (3.3–16.4), 26 (22–36), p <0.05, and higher compared to healthy subjects [312 (233–342), p = 0.001, 12 (6–16.7), p = 0.1, 24 (19–29), p = 0.126, respectively]. Evaluating the parameters of glycemic control, we found a higher HbA1C in group 1, 7.9 (6.55-9.45) compared to group 2, 7.5 (5.97-10), p = 0.498, while correlation analyses showed a significant positive relationship between HbA1C and cortisol (R = 0.242, p = 0.012). CONCLUSION: Patients with type 2 diabetes have HPA axis dysfunction. Higher cortisol levels are associated with poor glycemic control and the presence of diabetic complications. To better understand the etiology and provide practical solutions for addressing this issue, additional studies are required.
UTERINE ARTERIOVENOUS MALFORMATIONS – DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT IN SERIES OF CASES
Authors: Tsankova Mariana , Kostov Ivan , Petrov Ivo
Published: September 2024

Uterine arteriovenous malformation (UAVM) is a rare but potentially life-threatening diagnosis. Misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated Uterine arteriovenous malformation can lead to excessive hemorrhage because of specific conditions: abnormal direct multiple fistulous communication between an artery and vein without an intervening capillary bed. This makes a high-pressure gradient into venous system, enlargement of some venous vessels and multidirectional high velocity blood flow. There are different treatment options, one of which is embolization of uterine arteries.The aim of this study is to present the etiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic options and therapeutic approaches to patients with Uterine arteriovenous malformation.This study is a prospective follow-up of series of cases with Uterine arteriovenous malformation, which have different etiology and different uterine localization - cervical and corporal.Our diagnostic method is ultrasonography – transvaginal, using both 2D grayscale, Color Doppler and Pulsed Wave Doppler. The machines used in this study are Samsung Hera and Medison.We present four cases of arteriovenous malformation (one of them congenital and three others: after normal delivery, after caesarean section; dilatation and curettage were executed for all of them). All the cases resulted in hemorrhagic shock and were successfully treated later with uterine artery embolization.Our study presents to the auditory unique cases initially misdiagnosed and mistreated with uterine curettage. They were correctly diagnosed later by ultrasonography and treated successfully through selective embolization of the feeding vessels. The research represents our personal experience in diagnosis and treatment of that life threatening condition and all cases were well illustrated with sonographic images, Color Doppler technic and embolization technics.A good therapeutic outcome is a result of obtained collaboration between a gynecologist, an expert sonographer and an invasive cardiologist.Uterine arteriovenous malformation can be safely and effectively treated with uterine artery embolization with even high chances of preserving women’s childbearing function.
NATION BUILDING AT THE SUB-STATE LEVEL
Authors: Milosavljevic Stevic Milena
Published: September 2024

The process of nation-building at the sub-state or sub-state level is a difficult and complicated process that, in addition to members of minority groups, includes a number of actors such as political elites, the home state and international organizations. The comprehensiveness and diversity of the actors involved in this process are not a guarantee of its success.
Nation-building at the sub-state level should be seen in the context of the majority nation-building process, because it arises as a reaction to it. The dialectic of majority building and sub-state building of the nation coincides in certain aspects, but there are also significant deviations. A limiting factor in both processes is the rights of minority groups. Guaranteeing minority rights is a necessary condition for the legitimacy of majority nation-building, while on the other hand, the rights of internal national minorities in certain territories or regions that insist on autonomy and independence are an indicator that shows the direction in which nation-building is going at the sub-state level. Kosovo, after the Declaration of Independence in 2008, represents an example of illiberal nation-building at the sub-state level, which aims to weaken the minority community of Serbs in Kosovo.
Multinational states face the problem of nation-building at the sub-state level. In political theory, the question is open: why in the process of globalization do sub-state nations gain importance when state sovereignty weakens? This is precisely the main argument, because minority groups maximize their political demands in crisis situations of the host country, i.e. in moments when its sovereignty is being challenged. The example of the Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija, as well as in the south of Serbia and in North Macedonia clearly point to this.
TO THE ESSENTIAL NATURE OF THE FOOTBALL GAME, PART 1: APPROACH TO THE GAME AS A DYNAMIC SYSTEM

Published: September 2024

The aim of the article is to present the nature of the football game, which contemporaries approach as a dynamic system with a tendency to chaotic behavior, connecting it to several scientific disciplines. Relevant studies, which interactively connect football theory with several other disciplines, have pointed out important characteristics of the nature of the football game, which are not sufficiently visible through the prism of traditional science. The analysis of scientific articles highlights: dynamism, complexity, chaoticity, uncertainty, confrontation, reversibility, nonlinearity, flexibility, attractors, fractals, iterations, degrees of freedom. The team is seen as an open dynamic system that has the ability to self-organize and overcome itself. From the point of view of ecological psychology and dynamic systems, the athlete is a complex dynamic system whose subsystems are constantly interacting in order to make firm decisions . The player notices changes in the game scenario, existing constraints, predicts the possible course of the game and makes decisions from a wide range of possibilities that are sometimes unexpected. Speed of recognition of frequently repeated game states, appreciation of role in existing offensive and defensive matrices will enable more effective and efficient behavior at all levels of team organization in both phases. The ability to understand these deep processes of play is identified with sense of play.
ADAPTIVE MODELS IN THE DISCOURSE OF TOMORROW’S TVET
Authors: Vasilev Iliyan
Published: September 2024

Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions provide young people with the valuable skills and competencies needed for their seamless transition into the workforce. However, most TVET institutions adopt traditional curriculums and assessment approaches that are irrelevant to testing skills and competencies demanded in the current job markets. This challenge leads to job-skill mismatch and underemployment. This work proposes an adaptive and flexible TVET model that can address the identified challenges by nurturing holistic skill sets, replacing the traditional assessment methods with practical assessment approaches, and incorporating curriculums that reflect current industry practices. The study uses a quantitative approach to collect and present data from various stakeholders (students, employers, and teachers). The results indicate that most students recognize that the current TVET models and systems are ineffective in providing the skills and competencies needed in the current job markets. The participants strongly supported the interventions incorporated into the new model as effective measures for addressing the mismatch between the skills obtained in TVET institutions and skills needed in the workplaces. Moving forward, the TVET institutions should adopt the adaptive model to enhance students’ employability and on-job competence. The findings indicate that TVET institutions can benefit from adopting the model, as it will enable them to implement drastic shifts in their landscapes, adapt to the rapid technological changes, and embrace innovation for competency development.
