Authors: Vujaklija Brajkovic Ana , Kosuta Iva , Batur Lucija , Sundalic Sara , Medic Marijana , Vujevic Andro , Bielen Luka , Babel Jaksa
Published: November 2024

BACKGROUND

Solid organ transplantation (SOT) and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) revolutionized the survival and quality of life of patients with malignant diseases, various immunologic, and metabolic disorders or those associated with a significant impairment in a patient's quality of life.

AIM

To investigate admission causes and treatment outcomes of patients after SOT or HSCT treated in a medical intensive care unit (ICU).

METHODS

We conducted a single-center, retrospective epidemiological study in the medical ICU at the University Hospital Centre Zagreb, Croatia covering the period from January 1st 2018 to December 31st 2023.

RESULTS

The study included 91 patients with either SOT [28 patients (30.8%)] or HSCT [63 patients (69.2%)]. The median age was 56 (43.2-64.7) years, and 60.4% of the patients were male. Patients with SOT had more comorbidities than patients after HSCT [χ² (5, n = 141) = 18.513, P < 0.001]. Sepsis and septic shock were the most frequent reasons for admission, followed by acute respiratory insufficiency in patients following HSCT. Survival rate significantly differed between SOT and HSCT [χ² (1, n = 91) = 21.767, P < 0.001]. ICU survival was 57% in the SOT and 12.7 % in the HSCT group. The need for mechanical ventilation [χ² (1, n = 91) = 17.081, P < 0.001] and vasopressor therapy [χ² (1, n = 91) = 36.803, P < 0.001] was associated with survival. The necessity for acute renal replacement therapy did not influence patients' survival [χ² (1, n = 91) = 0.376, P = 0.54]. In the subgroup of patients with infection, 90% had septic shock, and the majority had positive microbiological samples, mostly Gram-negative bacteria. The ICU survival of patients with sepsis/septic shock cumulatively was 15%. The survival of SOT patients with sepsis/shock was 45%.

CONCLUSION

Patients with SOT or HSCT are frequently admitted to the ICU due to sepsis and septic shock. Despite advancements in critical care, the mortality rate of patients with refractory septic shock and multiorgan failure in this patient population is extremely high. Early recognition and timely ICU admittance might improve the outcome of patients, especially after HSCT.

Tramas vivientes en relaciones cinemáticas: temporalidades creativas en el cortometraje Azul profundo de Sebastián Wiedemann (2020)
Authors: Camacho María Celeste
Published: November 2024

El presente escrito se propone establecer vínculos entre el cine experimental de Sebastián Wiedemann, específicamente su cortometraje Azul Profundo—Deep Blue [Springs and Apneas Between Worlds] (2020), y los planteamientos filosóficos de Rafael García Pavón (2018) sobre la idea de Tiempo. Se exploran las conexiones entre mundos y afectos, revelando e imaginando posibles vínculos entre las especies con vida en la Tierra, la vida común, en un marco de crisis ecológica y civilizatoria. La pandemia de COVID-19 ha resaltado, entre otras cosas, la interdependencia entre humanos y no humanos, subrayando la necesidad de cuidado colectivo. El cine, como arte habitable, como proceso mutagénico (Wiedemann, 2020) permite imaginar y entrecruzar territorialidades, temporalidades, haceres y saberes. En ese marco, el cortometraje Azul Profundo se presenta como una experiencia de cine experimental que abre espacios para hacer y pensar con, en territorios cinemáticos, reflejando una temporalidad creativa y metamórfica.

Authors: Tomidei Laura , Guertler Matthias , Sick Nathalie , Paul Gavin , Carmichael Marc
Published: November 2024

With the development of collaborative robots (cobots), a paradigm shift in human-robot collaboration (HRC) is emerging in the workplace. When introducing cobots, a new range of hazards and harms needs to be considered. While physical hazards have been extensively studied and were paramount in the development of cobots, lesser-known hazards are related to mental and ethical wellbeing. Accordingly, most existing safety measures are designed to address exclusively physical hazards including ergonomics. To this end, this study sets out to develop holistic design principles for safe HRC by adopting a human-centred approach. A systematic review of the relevant literature combined with real-world insights gathered through interviews with industry and academic experts leads to design principles for safe HRC that can contribute to the future development of collaborative robot systems. This also highlights challenges which future research around safety guidelines and standards needs to address.

Published: November 2024

The emergence of collaborative robotics presents an opportunity for architectural designers to safely engage in design and fabrication through human-robot collaboration (HRC). By leveraging the adaptability, creativity, and design judgement of designers with the strength, repeatability, and design precision of robotic assistance, HRC has the potential to create a unified design-fabrication workflow. Recent advancements in augmented reality (AR) technology further enhance these prospects by enabling users to superimpose context-sensitive, computer-generated information in the real world. AR technology also provides situational awareness, which proves beneficial in the context of HRC. The maturation of AR technologies offers new possibilities for developing HRC systems tailored to architectural design-fabrication needs. Recognizing the pivotal role of human factors in HRC development process, this paper aims to explore the architectural designers’ needs to develop an AR-enabled HRC system that better supports the fabrication-centric design process, such as exploratory collaborative assembly tasks.
Key findings highlight the necessity for a unified design-fabrication workflow, a clearer allocation of tasks between designers and robotic arms, an intuitive user interface, a streamlined interaction process, a better understanding of robot intentions and movements, intuitive procedures for error avoidance and correction, and enhanced user safety in HRC scenarios.

Computer vision algorithm with the amalgamation of deep learning technologies has provided endless possible applications. Currently, with the high load of vehicle traffic it is very difficult to trace and capture vehicular information over traffic surveillance on roads, parking or for safety concerns. Here, we have done an exploration for such a use case where a deep learning model is trained to detect and recognize a license plate in a vehicle. In the proposed method an object detection model, EfficientDet-D0 has been trained with custom dataset for license plate detection and have used optical character recognition model, Tesseract. In the proposed method, we have used a novel license plate extraction algorithm which reduces false localization followed by character recognition in a pipeline manner. We have also explored model quantization method to compress the model at reduced precision for efficient edge-based deployment for an end-application. In the proposed work, we have dedicated our study for Indian vehicles and have evaluated the performance with standard datasets like CCPD, UFPR and have achieved 97.9% in license localization and 95.15% in end-to-end detection and recognition respectively. We have implemented on Raspberry Pi3 and NVIDIA Jetson Nano deviced with improved performances. Comparing with state-of-the-art we have achieved 2×, 3.8× and 2.5× in CPU, GPU and edge platform respectively.

Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo analisar o processo de fabricação e execução do pavimento a frio, com o intuito de identificar as irregularidades e as consequências do seu uso, bem como sua aplicação nos serviços de recuperação das rodovias. Foram realizados estudos por meio de consultas documentais e bibliográficas para adquirir conhecimentos sobre a temática. Em seguida, foi realizada uma visita à usina de fabricação do material betuminoso e, posteriormente, vistoriou-se a execução do serviço de sua aplicação. Após o levantamento de dados sobre o material e a maneira como vem sendo aplicado na região, foi efetuada uma comparação desses dados com a norma vigente. Aprofundando-se nas etapas executivas incorretas, buscou-se associar as patologias encontradas a cada uma das irregularidades identificadas. Por meio dessa análise, verificou-se que, nas áreas estudadas, houve uma variação na quantidade de patologias encontradas, em grande parte devido à falta de manutenção, ou seja, à ausência de uma atenção especial por parte da administração municipal. Com base nesses dados, concluiu-se que as manifestações patológicas são prejudiciais à qualidade da pavimentação. Por outro lado, a etapa do processo de fabricação mostrou-se conforme as normas vigentes. Assim, constatou-se que o material betuminoso apresenta bom potencial construtivo, mesmo considerando seu baixo custo em comparação ao concreto betuminoso usinado a quente.

Authors: Shahriar Bushra , Roy Uttam Kumar
Published: November 2024

Climate change exacerbates natural hazards, prompting countries to adopt comprehensive adaptation and resilience strategies to mitigate the increasing losses and damages. Resilience is a critical concept that integrates disaster risk management, sustainable development, and climate change adaptation. Despite various community resilience frameworks and flood resilience measurement tools, there is a significant knowledge gap in identifying practical indicators to measure urban flood resilience. This study aims to fill this gap by developing a unified list of indicators to measure urban flood resilience, focusing on Dhaka City, Bangladesh. This research will identify and validate indicators contributing to urban flood resilience through a detailed comparative analysis of different resilience frameworks, expert opinions, focus group discussions, and key informant interviews. Dhaka City, a rapidly growing megacity, is prone to waterlogging and flooding, resulting in significant economic losses, diseases, and stresses. The study’s findings will provide a comprehensive understanding of urban flood resilience in Dhaka City and inform stakeholders and government officials on strategies to enhance resilience and adaptation capacities. The approach will also highlight gaps and issues, enabling policymakers to develop targeted interventions to minimize flood risks and promote sustainable urban development.

Published: November 2024

La odometría desempeña un papel crucial en la estimación de la posición relativa de un robot móvil, lo que motiva este artículo a implementar el método utilizado en el algoritmo LOAM, desarrollado dentro del marco de ROS (Robot Operating System). El enfoque de este trabajo se centra en el análisis del algoritmo LOAM y su posterior implementación en C++ sin la dependencia de ROS, empleando bibliotecas como PCL (Point Cloud Library), Eigen 3.0, y algunas funcionalidades adaptadas para su uso en C++, como ROS::tf. Para llevar a cabo el análisis del algoritmo LOAM, se aplicó un proceso de ingeniería inversa y se revisó la literatura existente, basándose en los artículos publicados por los autores del algoritmo mencionado anteriormente. Asimismo, se examinaron los métodos de Visual SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) con el fin de compararlos y proponer posibles mejoras y observaciones en el algoritmo estudiado y posteriormente implementado. Se demostró que el algoritmo LOAM presenta una mayor eficiencia en tramos rectos en comparación con las curvas, debido a la ausencia de un sensor de medida inercial que sea capaz de compensar la rotación del láser en las curvas. Por lo tanto, se recomienda realizar un análisis segmentado en escenarios con diversos tipos de recorridos para mejorar los resultados y reducir el error total del experimento.

Amerikan İdare Hukuku’nda Beklenen Gelişme: Chevron Doktrini Artık Hükümsüz
Authors: Atıl Kaya Özge
Published: November 2024

Chevron doktrini, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde idarenin hukuki düzenlemeler yaparken ve uygularken, yasaları ve hukuki metinleri yorumlama yetkisinin yargısal denetiminde kullanılan önemli bir ilkedir. Amerikan idare hukukunda çığır açan Chevron, idarenin takdir yetkisini destekleyerek mahkemelerin idarenin hukuki yorumlama yetkisine riayet etmesi gerekliliği sonucunu doğurmuştur. Chevron doktrini, Amerikan Yüksek Mahkemesi’nce 1984 tarihli Chevron U.S.A., Inc. v. Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc. davasında ortaya konulmuştur. Chevron, 1984’ten itibaren Yüksek Mahkeme ve federal temyiz ve bölge mahkemeleri tarafından birçok davada sıklıkla kullanılmıştır. Doktrin; uzmanlık ve teknik bilgi, verimlilik, demokratik hesap verebilirlik ve yargı yükününün hafifletilmesi gibi nedenlerle savunulmasının yanı sıra hukukçular ve siyasetçiler tarafından yoğun eleştirilere maruz kalmıştır. Chevron’a yöneltilen eleştirilerin başında; kuvvetler ayrılığı ilkesine aykırılık, yargı organının ve bağımsızlığının zayıflatılması, aşırı yetki kullanımı, hukuki belirsizlik ve uygulamadaki tutarsızlıklar gelmektedir. Özellikle son dönemlerde, yoğunlaşan eleştirilerin de etkisiyle mahkemelerin Chevron’u uygularken temkinli davrandığı ve doktrinin uygulanabilirliğinin önemli ölçüde azaldığı ortaya konulmuştur. En nihayetinde Chevron doktrini, 28 Haziran 2024’te Loper Bright Enterprises v. Raimondo davasında Yüksek Mahkeme tarafından oyçokluğuyla iptal edilmiştir. Chevron’un iptalinin; idarenin yasaları ve hukuki metinleri yorumlama yetkisini büyük ölçüde sınırlayacağı, mahkemelerin idarenin yorumlarına riayet etme zorunluluğunu ortadan kaldıracağı ve yargının rolünü güçlendireceği düşünülmektedir. Bu çalışma, Chevron doktrininin tarihçesinin, kapsam ve temel prensiplerinin, yıllar içerisindeki değişiminin, günümüzde uygulanabilirliğinin ve iptalinin idarenin yargısal denetimi üzerindeki etkilerinin incelenmesini içerir.

Authors: Runge Evelyn , Korte Lydia
Published: November 2024

Editorial offices are increasingly addressing their media users openly, explaining why they show (or don’t show) certain photos, often with reference to social media. In digital photojournalism, competencies in the ethics of imaging are being practiced beyond well-known dichotomies, also in view of the increasing production of AI (artificial intelligence)-generated images. This article presents complementary ethical concepts by Newton and Dodd that emphasize self-efficacy in photojournalists and producers. The concept of authenticity infrastructures is introduced for the first time in a German-language academic publication. These infrastructures are designed to make the origins of digital images technically traceable.

Published: November 2024

Hochzeitsfotografie zeichnet sich durch eine stark konventionalisierte Bildsprache aus. Oft ist es schwierig auf den Bildern zu erkennen, ob es sich um eine religiöse oder eine zivile Zeremonie handelt. Wenn sich der Unterschied nivelliert, stellt sich bildethisch die Frage, welche Normen und Werte Fotos von Hochzeiten vermitteln. Daran schließt die bildanalytische Frage an, wie sich die Darstellungsebenen von zivilen und religiösen Bereichen angleichen. Anhand unterschiedlicher Bildmotive von 27 Paaren wird die fotografische Inszenierung des Paares und der Hochzeitsgesellschaft hermeneutisch medienethisch untersucht. Die Analyse zeigt, wie sich zivile und religiöse Räume und Riten in deren Darstellungsnormen in der Hochzeitsfotografie vermischen.

Based on current developments at Cologne’s Domradio, this essay reflects on the question of the (in)dependence of church media, looking to the past and the future. One thing is clear: church media are not the same as church journalism. The latter is called upon to defend its role and its mission as a critic, observer and moderator.

Der Gleichheitssatz der Europäischen Grundrechtecharta in Anwendung auf das direkte Steuerrecht
Authors: Drescher Daniel
Published: November 2024

The study examines whether a general principle regarding the distribution of tax burden (e.g., the ability-to-pay-priciple) can be derived from Art. 20 GrCh. In a first step, it develops a general doctrine of equality under EU law, which is then translated into the area of direct tax law. In this regard, it analyses primary and secondary law, the case law of the ECJ and the constitutional traditions common to the Member States. The study concludes that EU law does not currently permit the derivation of a general principle regarding the distribution of tax burden in the area of direct tax law, in particular due to the strict allocation of competences in favour of the Member States.

Introduction: Cardiac hydatid cyst is an exceptionally rare condition in both developed and developing countries. Here, we present a case of a massive, asymptomatic myocardial hydatid cyst in a middle-aged man. Case Presentation: A 51-year-old man presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with complaints of exertional dyspnea and recurrent palpitations. He reported experiencing atypical chest pain. Echocardiography revealed a large mass in the posterolateral portion of the left ventricular wall and a giant mass in the basal portion of the posterior left ventricular wall. A CT scan confirmed the presence of massive cysts, measuring approximately 7.50 × 5.19 cm. The patient underwent cardiac surgery for the excision of multiple cysts of varying sizes, with no involvement of other organs. Conclusions: Early diagnosis followed by precise surgical intervention is essential for cardiac hydatid cysts, even in asymptomatic cases. This approach can help prevent potential life-threatening complications in patients.

Introduction: Telogen effluvium (TE) is a common cause of diffuse, non-scarring hair shedding, particularly affecting women. Chronic telogen effluvium (CTE), although less common than the acute form, presents as gradual hair loss that persists for more than six months and can last for years. Current treatment options are limited, and while topical minoxidil is often used, there is insufficient evidence to fully support its effectiveness in CTE. This has led to the exploration of innovative treatment methods, such as Microinfusion of drugs into the skin (MMP®), a form of microneedling. Case Presentation: A 28-year-old female patient with a three-year history of hair loss underwent MMP® combined with 0.5% minoxidil on the right side of the scalp, targeting the frontal, parietal, and vertex areas. The treatment was administered over 3 monthly sessions, followed by the daily application of 5% minoxidil at home on both sides of the scalp. Six weeks after the final session, a trichoscopic reassessment using TrichoLAB® revealed the following results: In the frontal region, hair density increased slightly by 1 hair (from 206 to 207), while hair shaft thickness decreased by 2 µm (from 61 to 59 µm). In the parieto-vertex region, there was a more notable increase of 47 hairs (from 223 to 270), with a slight decrease in hair shaft thickness by 3 µm (from 67 to 64 µm). Conclusions: The patient reported a modest improvement in hair volume, supported by trichoscopic data, particularly in the parieto-vertex region. The combination of MMP® and minoxidil shows potential as a treatment for CTE, emphasizing the need for further research in larger, controlled trials to confirm its efficacy.
Crkva i samostan sv. Marije na Glavotoku – reinterpretacija građevnog razvoja
Authors: Sabalić Damir
Published: November 2024

Samostan sv. Marije na Glavotoku smjestio se na krajnjoj sjeverozapadnoj točki, glavi otoka, po kojoj je i dobio ime. Prvi spomen Glavotoka seže u 1277. godinu i veže se uz žensku eremitažu s pripadajućom kapelom. Sredinom 15. stoljeća knez Ivan Frankapan daruje crkvu s imanjem franjevcima trećoredcima. Franjevci, predvođeni fra Matijom Bošnjakom Mastilićem, grade samostan, a početkom 16. stoljeća i novu crkvu. U radu su predstavljeni rezultati zaštitnih i istražnih radova na crkvi i dijelu samostana sv. Marije na Glavotoku. Analiza samostanskog sklopa, dopunjena novim saznanjima, omogućila je reinterpretaciju građevnog razvoja crkve i dijela sklopa uz svetište. Utvrđeno je da je renesansna franjevačka crkva s početka 16. stoljeća sagrađena na mjestu ranije srednjovjekovne frankapanske crkve. Pritom se poštivala zadana orijentacija, a sačuvao se i u novu gra- đevinu inkorporirao čitav sjeverni lateralni zid stare crkve s ostacima freske. Dokazano je da je tzv. frankapanska kapela profani prostor koji je u 16. stoljeću prenamijenjen u sakristiju. Utvrđen je izgled crkve iz 16. stoljeća, bitno izmijenjen barokizacijom u drugoj polovici 18. stoljeća. Interpretirani su nalazi niše za orgulje i propovjedaonicu. Predstavljeni su i novi nalazi kamene plastike, dviju kamenih konzola iz prve polovice 15. stoljeća. Katalog glagoljskih natpisa dopunjen je s dva primjerka, dijelovima nadgrobnih ploča s glagoljskim oznakama iz 1703. godine.
Konstitucije franjevaca trećoredaca „provencie Dalmacie“ iz 1492. i Generalia Statuta „Lombardske kongregacije“ iz 1549. godine
Authors: Brusač Zvonimir
Published: November 2024

U ovom radu će se nakon upoznavanja s genezom „Generalia Statuta sive Decreta Fratrum Tertii Ordinis Sancti Francisci de poenitentia nuncupati, regularis observantiae congregationis Longobardae in habitu heremitico degentium“ iz 1549. usporediti sadržaj tog teksta sa sadržajem konstitucija franjevaca trećoredaca u Dalmaciji iz 1492. godine i vidjeti na koje zaključke mogu uputiti sličnosti i razlike tih dvaju tekstova. Generalia Statuta sadrže, u novom, prerađenom i uređenom obliku „ustanove i odredbe“ usvojene 1475. godine na generalnom kapitulu franjevaca trećoredaca na području Italije. Ukazavši na veliku vjerojatnost postojanja kontakata između franjevaca trećoredaca u Dalmaciji i franjevaca trećoredaca na području Italije i utvrdivši povezanost mnogih odredbi Konstitucija iz 1492. s odredbama Generalia Statuta, može se pretpostaviti da su Konstitucije priređivane na temelju poznavanja „ustanova i odredbi“ koje su vrijedile za franjevce trećoredce na području Italije, usvojene na njihovom generalnom kapitulu dvadesetak godina ranije. Ako se to dogodilo, može se također lakše razumjeti zašto su dalmatinski franjevci trećoredci te svoje konstitucije uvijek, uz Pravilo Nikole IV. na koje su se zavjetovali, smatrali temeljnim dokumentom za uređenje i normiranje svoga redovničkog života, unatoč njegovoj formi disciplinsko-kaznenog redovničkog pravilnika.

Upotreba tradicijskih materijala i tehnika pri zaštiti spomenika kulture
Authors: Orbanić Branko
Published: November 2024

Konzervatorsko načelo traži da u obnovi spomenika kulture koristimo identične materijale ili najbliže moguće onom izvornom, jer se tako „zakrpa“ originalno uklopi u cjelinu te ne stara kao strano tijelo. Ako se radi o narušenoj statičkoj stabilnosti, primorani smo koristiti nove, najmanje agresivne materijale koji bi osigurali stabilnost objekta i produljili mu vijek trajanja. Vapneni mortovi imaju jednostavne recepture, a njih razlikujemo po mjestu upotrebe na samom spomeniku. Najosnovnije razlike su u mortovima koji moraju imati veću tlačnu čvrstoću ili moraju biti porozniji. Za te varijacije moramo primjenjivati dodatke ili razlikovati način spravljanja morta. Za bolje shvaćanje donosimo osnovne praktične primjere: Osnovni vapneni mort: gašeno vapno : pijesak (omjer 1 : 3); Vapneni mort s povećanom tlačnom čvrstoćom ili hidraulički vapneni mort (NHL): gašeno vapno : pijesak - omjer 1 : 3 + dodaci kao što su silicijev dioksid, vulkanski pepeo, obični pepeo, pečena boksitna zemlja (mljevena stara kanalica); Porozni vapneni mort: živo vapno : pijesak (omjer 1 : 7). To su samo osnovni parametri koji se moraju ukomponirati prilikom izrade projekta obnove. Uglavnom se u praksi pokazuju problemi oko nepoznavanja tradicijskih materijala i tehnika, pa se tako javljaju otpori prema tim rješenjima. Uvijek težimo da pri obnovi spomenika kulture zahvat bude optimalan, odnosno da minimalno unosimo trag današnjice i prenesemo spomenik na nove generacije s najmanjim intervencijama. Nastojimo sadržaj prilagoditi zatečenoj arhitekturi, a ne zatečenu arhitekturu prilagođavati željenom sadržaju. Spomenik je originalan samo ako vrednujemo njegovu osnovnu ideju, način građenja i trenutačno stanje te upravo s tim parametrima komponiramo revitalizaciju spomenika u materijalnom i nematerijalnom aspektu.
