Authors: Peterlin Judita , Figge Patrick , Dimovski Vlado , Vukojević Katarina
Published: May 2023

Slovenians like new technologies. However, they hold specific fears that robots will take their working places. Robots represent opportunities for providing service as the population grows old, and robots will be needed to help old people. Especially in fields where workers are scarce, such as healthcare, knowledge of the interaction human-cobot will be needed. Robots have been present in highly supervised and stable environments for decades. Due to extreme progress in robotics, they have moved among people, in less predictable environments, and have a more human-like appearance. The purpose of our paper is to present cases of cobots in Slovenian hospitals. We use qualitative methodology. Results of our desktop research are presented. Our paper researches contemporary management challenges in healthcare. Before, and after the COVID-19 pandemic, the demand for healthcare professionals was a critical challenge as the nursing staff was overburdened. It is hard to fill all the necessary nursing positions in hospitals. The problem seems to be getting even bigger due to the growing trend of the elderly population around the world. In the theoretical part, we present the interaction between human being-robot. In the empirical part, we present three examples of the incorporation of robots in hospitals in Slovenia and expose some of the current challenges, benefits, and difficulties of working with robots.
Credit Cards as an Instrument of Payment in Tourism and Hospitality
Authors: Radolović Oliver , Komljen Filip
Published: May 2023

Credit cards are one of the most used instruments of payment today. The advantages they have are the simplicity of their use and the mandatory relationship of a short-term credit contract. Nowadays, credit cards are increasingly used in tourism and hospitality. Many banks around the world cooperate with global card organizations such as VISA, MasterCard, American Express and Diners Club, so the cards they issue are widely accepted in hotels, travel agencies, hospitality objects and shopping centers around the world. This paper deals with the role of the credit card as a global instrument of payment in tourism from a legal and economic point of view, and its goal is to see what all the characteristics of a credit card are and what benefits its use brings. Its specificity for use in tourism and hospitality is mainly its simplicity (1), high security while reducing the risk of carrying cash (2) and the international character of the legal relations that are related to it (3).

Published: May 2023

A rare disease is a disease that affects 5 or fewer people per 10,000 population. There are between 6000 and 8000 different rare diseases. There are approximately 150,000 rare disease patients in Slovenia. There is no accurate data, which is a major health problem. We will tackle the problem by building a registry of rare non-malignant diseases that will provide reliable data on incidence and prevalence, natural history and characteristics of the disease, which will form the basis for the management of rare diseases in the health system. We used a system development life cycle methodology, which is unusual in Slovenian healthcare. This paper describes a methodology for building health registries that could help to address the challenges of building new health registries in Slovenia.

Authors: Samar Brenčič Neja
Published: May 2023

The terms telehealth, e-health, telemedicine and digital health frequently used reciprocally or interchangeably. We decided to examine the occurrence of each phrase using the Scopus database in pursuit to add to the definition of the concepts of these services. We decided that other similar terms or sub-terms will be a subject of further studies.1 A total of 95,884 documents contained one of the four terms in the title, abstract or keyword. Telemedicine was the most common term, with 64,149 documents referring to it, followed by e-health by 23,754 and then telehealth with 22,387 and Digital health with 8,599 documents. Articles were the most common type for the four key terms, followed by review articles and conference papers . We note that the diversity in the use of the four concepts indicates the vagueness of the concepts and the need for a more precise definition of services and the establishment of certain definitions.

Published: May 2023

The rapid development and globalization of the economy, as well as the increasingly stringent safety and environmental regulations, including in the field of new product development, require manufacturers to constantly adapt and change. Various global associations and/or multinational companies impose additional requirements in their supply chains in the form of minimum standards that must be met in order to work together in a particular business field. For manufacturers, tracking and meeting the changing requirements for managing data and information about products throughout their lifecycle is one of the priorities that often causes them many problems. In this paper, we therefore focus on outlining possible actions to adapt the process of new product development through standardization

Published: May 2023

Employees’ well-being has become a key issue in today's society. Researchers have begun to look at enhancing the positive aspects of employees’ well-being to act as a counterbalance to employees' negative experiences at work. We first define the concept of positive psychology, which shows a different approach to dealing with the attitude towards employees in organizations. Then we introduce the concept of well-being, especially the aspect in organizations and measurement. We discuss the PERMA model, which is one of the modern models for conceptualizing and measuring well-being. The model proposes five dimensions of well- being, namely: positive emotions (P), engagement (E), relationships (R), meaning (M) and achievement (A). These have been shown to be strongly correlated with various measures of well-being. In our paper, we will present some facts about the PERMA model and break down its dimensions.

Published: May 2023

In this literature review we focus on classification of football technique elements and skills through successful practices and conducted studies. Football technique is one of the pillars of modern football player and team analysis and is defined as sport skill that has a certain way of solving a movement task (sport skill content) in accordance with the rules of the respective sport, the athlete’s biomechanical conditions and movement possibilities. Authors consider various features of football technique classification, such as difficulty of player movement, structure of player movement, type of player movement and playing position. Some of the fundamental techniques include kicking, dribbling and for goalkeepers catching the ball. Advanced technical skills include pendulum passing, leg scissor interception, etc. Based on game tactics, it also depends for players whether they are in possession of the ball or not. However, football technique can relate to various skills and attributes which are differently interpreted by authors. The aim of the review is to present key elements, skills and attributes observed in the previous research focusing technical skills in football. Moreover, the review focuses on comparative analysis of small-sided games technique evaluation, which serves as a cornerstone for football coaches in understanding the quality of the players. The results show that different sizes of the field, number of players on the pitch and overall quality of the players play an important role in successfully evaluating skill development.

Published: May 2023

The development of vegetable crops contributes to the food security of populations while reducing the problems of unemployment. However, these crops are subject to many pests that cause quantitative and qualitative damage to crops. To improve their yield, most market gardeners resort to the use of phytosanitary products. In order to take stock of the use of these products in the fight against pathogens of vegetable crops in the district of Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, a survey was carried out from January to February 2018 among 33 producers in the communes of Cocody and Port-Bouët. Twenty-seven pesticide trade names divided into 8 different families were identified. The majority of pesticides used were insecticides (53%) followed by fungicides (25%). Seventy-five percent (75%) of market gardeners were aware of the risk of pesticide toxicity, however, 53% of market gardeners did not use any means of protection during pesticide spraying. These bad practices jeopardize their health, that of consumers and the environment. It is therefore important to train and educate market gardeners on phytosanitary products and to provide them with adequate protective equipment.

Authors: Almeida Issa Maria Clara
Published: May 2023

The facial aging process is progressive, and rejuvenation of the oral region is challenging, as the skin alterations also reflect the changes in the fat, muscles, ligaments, and bone. Therefore, the procedures for improving this region must be combined to optimize the result. The use of polydioxanone (PDO) threads has been increasing in cosmetic dermatology in the last few years. Different types of threads, barbed, molded, non-barbed, straight, screwed, filler, etc., are available in the market bringing new options for treatment. Here, we want to present a new technique using a particular type of PDO thread, called solid filler thread, which was developed to fill folds in the face, replacing hyaluronic acid (HA) gel in some cases. Based on its purpose, it could also act as HA filler for myomodulation with the advantage of not promoting volume next to modiolus. In our technique, we associated HA filler gel in the areas where volume was desired, such as lips and mental area. We will report some cases to illustrate our technique and show the improvement in static and dynamic wrinkles, restructuring the oral region.

Published: May 2023

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolour (L) Moench) is the fifth major cereal crop in the world after wheat, rice, maize and barley. In India the crop is grown of 12.5 million ha. Maharashtra produces 49.82 lack tonnes of sorghum on 55.57 lacks ha., out of which Vidarbha produces 14.08 lack tonnes of sorghum. PKV mini dal mill can be used for polishing of mold affected sorghum with 80 no emery roller and 1200 rpm roller speed at feed rate of 120 kg/h. The combination gave very less black mold rating, hence this combination is considered better for polishing of blackened sorghum. The study revealed that, the 1000 grains mass was slightly reduced from 0.032 to 0.031 kg and hardness was reduced from 6.62 kg to 5.62 kg after polishing mould affected sorghum. The protein content of mold affected sorghum 11.51% was slightly reduced to 11.35 %. whereas carbohydrates content was slightly increased from 71.86 to 72.02 % after polishing. Percent incidence of mycoflora was reduced from 85% to 62% after polishing. It was observed that, there was significantly lower weight in unpolished (4.125 %) and polished sorghum grains (4.37%) when stored in tin container and at par with each other followed by polypropylene bags, gunny bag lined with polyethylene and higher in gunny bags (6.0%) at the end of 4 months. It was observed that, the storage period for unleavened cake (bhakries) prepared from fresh CSH – 9 was 120 days and showed better acceptability. The cost of mold affected sorghum polishing was worked out to be Rs. 35/q. The break even point and payback period is 37 % and 1.40 years respectively. Surface polishing of black mold sorghum by using PKV mini dal mill is techno economically feasible.

Published: May 2023

Growth analysis is commonly used throughout time to determine the trend of a certain variable and utilized in economic research to make policy choices. The exponential function predicted the compound increase in area, production, and yield of main food grains in Uttar Pradesh. Secondary data were gathered during a 70-year era, from 1950-51 to 2018-19. In Uttar Pradesh, growth in the area, production, and yield of main food grains such as rice and wheat were positive and substantial from 1950 to 2019. However, the rice area grew at a little negative pace. Wheat was discovered to be one of the most popular crops among major food grains, with the largest yearly growth in area, production, and yield. However, efforts should be made to rise the area under other major food grains (rice, wheat) with high-quality seeds of improved varieties, improved food grain production technology, price, marketing support, and effective extension mechanization to boost productivity of major food grains.
Management of Late Blight of Potato caused by Phytophthora infestans
Authors: Singh Harjot
Published: May 2023

The potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) remains an essential crop in addressing the world's food problems. Due to advancements in agricultural machinery, the use of fertilisers, and irrigation techniques, the crop's output has seen a tremendous increase globally in recent decades. However, every year, a sizeable amount of this essential crop suffers heavy loss because of various fungal, viral, bacterial, and nematode infestations affecting it. One such infection, Late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans, is among the most dreaded diseases of potato globally which causes substantial production losses. In 19th century, the Irish Famine in the middle was caused by late blight. The pathogen has a wide range of variation and may adjust to newly developed varieties and fungicides. The pathogen infects all plant growth stages that show symptoms of late blight, tuber and stem rot and can lead to 100 percent yield loss. Humans are affected by late blight because the leafy stage restricts tuber production, infections on tubers eliminate a potential food supply. Numerous management strategies for late blight have been developed and are in use globally. Implementing an integrated disease management strategy is necessary for the disease's effective control. This review focused on prevalence, life cycle of Late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans and also emphasized on its management including various strategies, such as integrated disease management, chemical control, and cultural control.

Published: May 2023

As modificações produzidas pelas intervenções antrópicas nas paisagens naturais podem gerar impactos ambientais em diferentes níveis. Ao considerar a bacia hidrográfica como um sistema ambiental onde natureza e sociedade interagem, torna-se necessário compreender como os fatores naturais e antrópicos interferem nos níveis de fragilidade ambiental. O objetivo deste trabalho foi identificar a fragilidade ambiental da bacia hidrográfica do rio Sobrado, localizada no sudeste do estado do Tocantins, caracterizada pela presença de paisagem cárstica. Para tanto, a metodologia consistiu na elaboração do mapa de precipitação pluviométrica, mapa de declividade e mapa sobre os tipos de solos. O mapa de uso e cobertura da terra foi elaborado a partir da interpretação e do processamento digital das imagens Landsat 8/OLI, classificação supervisionada pelo método battacharya, no software SPRING. Realizou-se a sobreposição das informações para obtenção da fragilidade ambiental emergente. Os resultados apontaram para a identificação da classe baixa que se mostrou predominante na bacia, incluindo as formas de uso e áreas de cobertura vegetal nativa. A classe média ocupou a segunda posição, influenciada pela combinação dos fatores físicos e antrópicos, incluindo os tipos de solos, pastagens e cobertura vegetal nativa. E a classe alta ocupa uma pequena área, incluindo a localização dos afloramentos rochosos e áreas com maiores declives. Pode-se concluir ainda que a área com a maior concentração de cavernas está sob a influência da classe média fragilidade ambiental, despertando a necessidade da elaboração de diretrizes para o planejamento ambiental e uso adequado da terra.

O objetivo do trabalho é analisar a participação do Estado na estruturação das centralidades na Amazônia, tendo como campo empírico de reflexão a rede urbana do Amazonas. Para isso, construiu-se o entendimento da importância da cidadania para o Estado na gestão do território, o que se desdobra na hierarquia dos centros da gestão pública e dos repasses financeiros nacionais para o poder local. Na gestão pública regional, observa-se Manaus como grande centro da Amazônia Ocidental que, apesar da grandeza demográfica e econômica alcançada nas últimas décadas, é superada pela centralidade exercida por Belém com ênfase na Amazônia Oriental. Aponta-se, a partir da espacialização das atividades econômicas predominantes por município, uma extensa dependência aos serviços públicos no território do Amazonas, com poucas exceções dentre as 62 cidades.

Um importante arranjo urbano-regional foi formado tendo como componentes o Planalto Central brasileiro, cujos núcleos se constituem da capital federal, Brasília, e das duas principais cidades do Estado de Goiás: Goiânia e Anápolis. Nos extremos desse arranjo, as duas cidades de maior relevância do Centro-Oeste. Essa região passou a ser conhecida como Arranjo Urbano-Regional Brasília-Anápolis-Goiânia, ou ainda, Eixo Goiânia-Anápolis-Brasília, entre outras designações, que alteram as posições das cidades. Diante dessa diversidade de terminologia, às vezes, adotada por um mesmo autor para designar essa região, este trabalho objetiva, assim, propor um nome. A referência linguística recai no acrônimo, empregado para designar as regiões compreendidas pelas megalópoles estadunidenses: BosWash, ChiPitts e San-San. E aplicado anteriormente à região do Cariri cearense, quando esta era conhecida por Crajubar, designação constituída pelas iniciais dos nomes das cidade de Crato, Juazeiro do Norte e Barbalha. Assim, sugere-se o termo GoiABra para designar esse arranjo urbano nucleado por Goiânia, Anápolis e Brasília, que utiliza as iniciais dos nomes das três cidades. Além disso, o termo GoiABra remete às dimensões naturais e culturais do Cerrado, domínio morfoclimático onde está situado o referido arranjo urbano-regional, donde a goiabeira é típica e o fruto bastante consumido por seus habitantes.
CHARACTERIZATION OF ENERGY BAND GAP THIN FILM BaTiO3 – BaZr0.5Ti0.5O3 USING DIFUSION REFLECTANCE SPECTROSCOPY (DRS) METHOD

Ferroelectric material is a dielectric material that has a high dielectric constant value so that it can be made in the form of thin films. Its application is based on electro-optical properties, one of which is the infrared thermal switch. This paper aims to determine the bandgap energy (Eg) of a 0.3BaTiO3 – 0.7BaZr0.5Ti0.5O3 thin film. The 0.3BaTiO3 – 0.7BaZr0.5Ti0.5O3 thin film is a semiconductor material with the valence band and conduction band separated by an energy bandgap (Eg). Thin films of 0.3BaTiO3 – 0.7BaZr0.5Ti0.5O3 were grown on FTO substrates using the sol-gel method. The films of 0.3BaTiO3 – 0.7BaZr0.5Ti0.5O3 were annealed at different temperatures of 700°C, 750°C and 800°C within 1 hour. Characterization was carried out using Ultra Violet Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy to determine Eg using the Diffusion Reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) method. The DRS method was found to be better for solid materials considering the scattering component. The UV-Vis characterization results show that an increase in annealing temperature causes a decrease in Eg. For example the values ​​at 700°C, 750°C and 800°C are 3.5 ± 0.01 eV; 3.3±0.01 eV and 3.2±0.01 eV. The decrease in Eg is related to the diffusion of Barium Titanate (BaTiO3) ions into the Barium Zirconium Titanate (BZT) lattice forming a new sub-gap which in turn gives BT-BZT the ability to absorb lower light. Lower light absorption means more capable optics for multilayer systems.

Studies on migrations and migrants are especially aimed at identifying the problems that arise in the journeys from the place of origin and arrival to the planned space, however, they are usually influenced by narratives taken uncritically, in this case from the IOM. The study aims to analyze and identify the metaphors and sentences that reveal a certain ideological-discursive trend related to the so-called Governance in the document Highlights of the 2020 Annual Report offered by this organization. Based on this analysis, concepts were identified that together with others make up a virtuous equation, a process that entails, due to the level of expertise in its composition, an unquestionable degree of veracity, since they are located in what is called politically correct in the multiculturalism. In this way, the IOM narratives create a virtual migrant under the so-called data economy.

Anthropogenic changes, such as land use and climate change, are the greatest threats to biodiversity, especially for reptiles, the second most endangered vertebrate class worldwide. Species distribution modelling was applied to assess how expected scenarios of future climate and land cover change might influence the geographic distribution and habitat connectivity of threeConopsisearthsnakes endemic to Mexico:Conopsis biserialis(Taylor and Smith, 1942),Conopsis lineata(Kennicott, 1859), andConopsis nasus(Günther, 1858). In order to do this, two climate models were used, CNRM-CM5 (CN) and MPI-ESM-LR (MP), with the Representative Concentration Pathways of RCP 85 and the Maxent modelling method in ENMeval. The most important environmental variables affecting the distribution of the target species, as well as the environmental niche overlap between them, were also determined.C. biserialis, C. lineata,andC. nasuswere found to be restricted by maximum and minimum temperatures as they are adapted to high elevations and temperate semi-cold climates; therefore, climate was a main determining factor for species distribution. As expected, allConopsisspecies were predicted to face a reduction in their potential distribution withC. lineatapossibly losing approximately 48.5% andC. biserialislosing 28.7%. However, the models were inconsistent in determining which species would suffer the biggest reduction in distribution in the future. Likewise, a reduction in connectivity was found for the three species ofConopsis, whilethe Sierra de las Cruces and Corredor Biológico Chichinautzin were determined as very important areas in terms of connectivity. Unfortunately, great losses ofAbiesandPinusforests occurred in these areas between 2011 and 2014, along with an increase in the agricultural activity that compromises the populations of these species when intensively managed. Most of the potential distribution of these species are found in close proximity to agriculture and outside of protected areas, which is why it is extremely important to create protected areas for reptile species that live in these parts of central Mexico.

Backgroud To explore whether monitoring of non-invasive urine oxygen tension (PuO2) for 3 consecutive days can reflect renal medulla microcirculation injury early and whether changes in PuO2 (△PuO2) have reliable early diagnostic value for sepsis-associated acute kidney injury (SA-AKI).
Methods Twenty-four patients who were hospitalised for more than 48 h in our hospital and were diagnosed with sepsis were retrospectively divided into non-SA-AKI group and SA-AKI group according to the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI). The general and oxygen metabolism data of the two groups were compared. The results of urine analysis (PuO2, PuCO2, and urinary lactic acid) for 3 consecutive days were compared with common clinical kidney injury indices, and a changing trend was observed.
Results In the PICU, a total of 24 patients with sepsis were included (14 males, 58.33%; mean age, 5 years), with 15 cases in the non-SA-AKI group and 9 cases in the SA-AKI group, with incidence of SA-AKI being 37.5%. PuO2 gradually decreased from D0 to D2 in the SA-AKI group; PuCO2 increased naturally. The variation trend of PuO2 was statistically significant in D1-D0, D2-D0, and D2-D1 (P<0.05), and the △PuO2 of D2-D0 (10.83±25.69 vs. -41.13±34.98, P=0.001). The early diagnostic value of PuO2 was significant (AUC=0.885, 95% CI: 0.704–1.000).
Conclusions Three consecutive days of PuO2 monitoring can reflect early renal medullary microcirculation injury, and △PuO2 has early diagnostic value for SA-AKI.

Microrobots present great potential and wide applications in in-situ treatment and attract tremendous attention due to their small size and flexible movement. However, functional modification for microrobots became more important for their interaction with the environment, except for precise motion control. Here, we design a novel artificial intelligence (AI) microrobot, which can respond to changes in the external environment without onboard energy supplying and transmit signals wirelessly in real time. The AI microrobot can cooperate with external electromagnetic imaging equipment and enhance the local radiofrequency (RF) magnetic field to achieve a large penetration sensing depth and a high spatial resolution. The working ranges are determined by the structure of the sensor circuit and the corresponding enhancement effect can be modulated by the conductivity and permittivity of the surrounding environment, reaching ~ 560 times at most. Under the control of an external magnetic field, the magnetic tail can actuate the microrobotic agent to move accurately, with great potential to realize in-situ monitoring in different places in a human body in an almost noninvasive fashion, especially around potential diseases, which is of great significance for early disease discovery and accurate diagnosis. In addition, the compatible fabrication process provides an approach to swarms of functional microrobots. The findings highlight the feasibility of the self-sensing AI microrobot for the development of in-situ diagnosis or even treatment according to the sensing signals.

BackgroundThe aim of this study is to develop a predictive model utilizing deep learning and machine learning techniques that will inform clinical decision-making by predicting the one-year postoperative recovery of patients with lumbar disc herniation.MethodsThe clinical data of 273 inpatients who underwent tubular microdiscectomy (TMD) between January 2018 and January 2021 were retrospectively analyzed as variables. The dataset was randomly divided into a training set (n = 191) and a test set (n = 82) using a ten-fold cross-validation technique. Various deep learning and machine learning algorithms including decision trees, random forests, extreme gradient boosting, support vector machines, parsimonious Bayes, K-nearest neighbors, L2-regularized logistic regression, unregularized logistic regression, and neural networks were employed to develop predictive models for the recovery of patients with lumbar disc herniation one year after surgery. The cure rate score of lumbar JOA score one year after TMD was used as an outcome indicator, and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) was selected as the main measure of learner superiority.ResultsThe correlation matrix heat map indicated that there was no need to use data reduction techniques prior to model development. The predictive model employing both machine learning and deep learning algorithms was constructed using 43 collected variables. Among the nine algorithms utilized, the L2-regularized logistic regression algorithm demonstrated the highest value of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC).ConclusionsOur study findings demonstrate that the L2-regularized logistic regression algorithm provides superior predictive performance for the recovery of patients with lumbar disc herniation one year after surgery.

With the air leakage test methods, the leakage tests of the products that are required to be leakproof are carried out. This leakage test starts with placing the product on a fixture. The in-ternal pressure is increased by filling compressed air into the product placed in the Fixture. The product is filled with compressed air up to a previously calculated test pressure value. After the test pressure value is reached for the desired product, the air filling process is completed, and the stabilization period begins. At the end of this period, information about the leakage of the product is obtained, depending on whether there is a change in the internal pressure of the product. In order to fill the product with compressed air, there must be an air hole on the product. Products without this air hole cannot be tested with these methods. With the new method we will develop, it will be possible to test the leakage of closed products without atmosphere-air connection.
