Authors: Jaffar Murtaza , Rafique Adil , Khalid Sidra , Waheed Shahid
Published: December 2021

Background and Aim: A stroke, also known as a cerebrovascular accident, is defined as the sudden onset of a focal neurologic deficit caused by a disruption in blood flow to parts of the brain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the frequency of dyslipidemia in stroke patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 184 stroke patients in Medical department of Services Hospital, Lahore for duration of six months i.e from November 2020 to June 2021. All the stroke patients admitted during the study period were enrolled. Demographic details, past medical and family history, stroke risk factors, blood pressure, body mass index, and diabetic state were noted. Fasting blood samples were taken from individuals of stroke diagnosed based on CT scan. Lipid profiles including triacylglycerol, cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, low-density lipoproteins, and glycosylated hemoglobin were all measured from an individual blood samples. SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total 184 stroke patients, 123 (66.8%) were male patients while 61 (33.2%) were females. The overall mean age was 41.35±12.76 years whereas the mean body mass index was 37.61±10.91 Kg/m2. Out of 184 patients, the prevalence of prevalent risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and smoking was found 146 (79.5%), 89 (48.2%), and 58 (31.7%) respectively. The prevalence of Hypercholesterolemia (mg/dl), Hypertriglyceridemia (mg/dl), High LDL (mg/dl) levels, high VLDL (mg/dl), and low HDL was 49 (26.4%), 37 (20.1%), 31 (16.8%), 23 (12.5%), and 13 (7.1%) respectively. The abnormalities in HbA1c and fasting blood glucose were found in 93 (50.6%) and 95 (51.4%). Conclusion: Dyslipidemia was more prevalent in ischemic stroke patients. The smoker and male population are more susceptible to stroke risks that involve high LDL, high HbA1c, low HDL, hypertension, and higher fast blood glucose. Family history and diabetes are other risk factors for stroke. Appropriate intrusion for alteration of uneven lipid profile can improve stroke prognosis and prevention Keywords: Dyslipidemia; Ischemic Stroke, Cholesterol

Objective: The aim of this study is to compare the fetal and maternal outcomes in between asymptomatic and symptomatic COVID positive pregnant women. Study Design: Retrospective cohort study Place and Duration: The study was conducted at Gynae and Obs department of Sandeman Provincial Hospital, Quetta for duration of six months from November 2020 to April 2021. Methods: One hundred and ten pregnant women with ages 18-45 years had corona virus disease were presented. Informed written consent was taken from all patients for detailed demographics. COVID -19 was diagnosed by PCR. 55 patients had symptoms of coronavirus were included in group A and 55 patients did not show symptoms were included in group B. Frequency of pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes mellitus and post-partum haemorrhage were calculated. Maternal adverse outcomes (cesarean section, instrumental delivery, induction of labor and prolong labor, hypertensive disorder) were calculated among both groups. Fetal outcomes perinatal mortality, Low birth weight, Low Apgar score and NICU admission were observed. SPSS 20.0 version was used to analyze all data. Results: Mean age of the patients in group A was 28.47±3.18 years with mean BMI 24.03±5.24 Kg/m2 and in group B mean age was 27.99±4.17 years with mean BMI 24.44±6.41 Kg/m2. Maternal outcomes (cesarean section, instrumental delivery, induction of labor and prolong labor,) in symptomatic group were significantly higher than that of asymptomatic group. Fetal outcomes, perinatal mortality in group A 9 (16.4%) and in group B was 5 (9.1%), low birth weight in group A was among 21 (38.2%) and in group B was 10 (18.2%), low apgar score in group A was 11 (20%) and in group B was 8 (14.4%), 15 (27.3%) in group A went to NICU admission and 3 (5.5%) patient in group II admitted to NICU.

Development of an individual-based tag recapture model to benchmark biomass and harvest rates in an iconic lobster fishery
Authors: de Lestang Simon , Hoenig John , How Jason
Published: December 2021

The West Coast Rock Lobster Managed Fishery (WCRLMF) moved from input to output controls in 2010. This change affected the relativity of fishery-based data sources (e.g., catch rates and landed size composition), making the assessment of the fishery problematic. A novel examination
of the stock dynamics was required to ensure the robustness of the stock assessment and associated management arrangements. This study derived estimates of current biomass levels and harvest rates from the release of over 60,000 tagged western rock lobsters (Panulirus cygnus). A Brownie
tag-recapture (BTR) model was initially implemented to provide an assessment on a fishery-wide basis. Estimates from this were compared to those derived from a novel purpose-built tag-recapture individual-based model (IBM) that accounted for sex, size, month, and location-specific changes
in catchability. The two models produced similar estimates on a fishery-wide scale—harvest rate (HR 0.26 vs 0.30, respectively) and legal-sized biomass (about 24,500 vs 20,735 t, respectively)—while the IBM also provided estimates on a far finer spatial and temporal scale. Both
models indicate that the WCRLMF is currently in a very sustainable condition and is being fished at a rate below maximum economic yield (HRmey is about 0.39). These findings were in concert with estimates derived for this fishery based on two separate catch-rate based population
models, an integrated population model and a biomass-dynamics model. Such strong agreement among all models provides great certainty in the current assessment and management of this important marine resource.

Published: December 2021

Antik yerleşimlerin Roma Dönemi tabakalarında, kırmızı renkte kilden ve kırmızı renkte parlak astarlı, kalıpta ya da çarkta yapılmış, kabartmalı bezemeli ya da bezemesiz seramikler sıklıkla bulunmaktadır. İlk yapılan çalışmalarda Arezzo ya da Arretine Seramiği olarak anılmış, fakat sonraları diğer antik yerleşimlerde de sıklıkla bulunduğu saptanarak, ilerleyen çalışmalarda Terra Sigillata olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Günümüzde, Geç Roma Dönemi’nde üretilen kırmızı renkli seramikler için Kırmızı Astarlı terimi yaygınlaşmıştır. Son yıllarda ilerleyen çalışmalarla, Roma Dönemi’nin bu karakteristik seramikleri Anadolu’daki çok sayıda yerleşimde bulunmuş ve yayınlanmıştır. Antik Batı Anadolu’nun önemli Ion kentlerinden biri olan Phokaia, bu karakteristik seramik grubunun üretim merkezlerinden biridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Phokaia Sahil Yolu kazısında bulunan Kırmızı Astarlı seramiklerini tipolojik ve kronolojik olarak incelemek ve kil analizlerini sunmaktır. Phokaia (günümüzde İzmir-Eski Foça), Batı Anadolu’nun önemli kıyı yerleşimlerinden biridir ve tarih boyunca seramik üretimi ile dikkat çekmektedir; 1989 yılından itibaren yapılan araştırma ve kazılardan gelen verilerle, kentin önemli bir seramik üretim merkezi olduğu kanıtlanmıştır. Kentin çeşitli alanlarında yapılan kazılarda Kırmızı Astarlı seramikleri ve fırınlarına ait kalıntılar saptanmıştır. Phokaia Kırmızı Astarlı Seramikleri (PRSW-Phocaean Red Slip Ware) üzerine ilk çalışma Waage tarafından yapılmış; 1960’lardaki araştırmalarda Langlotz tarafından Form 3 C tipi olarak anılmıştır. 1972’de Hayes tarafından LRC (Late Roman C / Geç Roma C) ve 1980’de Phocaea Kırmızı Astarlı grubu olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Phokaia Sahil Yolu’nda yapılan kazılarda çok fazla miktarda Kırmızı Astarlı seramikler bulunmuştur ve büyük olasılıkla bu alanın gerisindeki atölyelere ait olmaldırlar. Malzemeler, alandaki buluntu yerlerine göre yapılan gruplar dikkate alınarak çizilmiş ve fotoğraflanmıştır. Malzemelerin kil analizleri uzmanlar tarafından yapılmış ve sonuçları sunulmuştur.

Authors: Poynton Suzanne , Chan Janet , Vogt Melissa , Grunseit Anne , Bruce Jasmine
Published: December 2021

This article reports on the findings of a study on the use and effectiveness of wellbeing initiatives implemented by a large public sector legal service organisation in Australia. The study, which was conducted from 2011 to 2015, employed a mixed-methods approach, consisting of three waves of staff surveys, interviews with key informants and staff, and workplace observation. The article considers the drivers of work stress, the impact of the introduction of certain initiatives on the mental health and wellbeing outcomes of participants, and participants’ perceptions of the characteristics necessary for an effective intervention and, more broadly, a supportive work environment. In doing so, the article seeks to inform a more general understanding of the prospects and limitations of wellbeing initiatives for addressing mental health and stress issues in the legal profession.
An Analysis of ESG Shareholder Resolutions in Australia
Authors: Freeburn Lloyd , Ramsay Ian
Published: December 2021

This article analyses the recent significant increase in number, prominence and impact of shareholder resolutions focused on environmental, social and governance (‘ESG’) issues in Australia. The analysis is placed in the context of the legal framework for shareholder resolutions and uses two sources of data: information about shareholder ESG resolutions in listed companies between 2002 and 2019, and interviews with representatives of resolution proponents, institutional shareholders, company directors, governance professionals, and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. It finds a significant increase in the last three years in ESG shareholder resolutions, particularly climate change resolutions, concentrated in a small number of filers, companies and industries. Against a background of modest average levels of support for shareholder ESG resolutions, examples of companies which have recorded high levels of support are notable. Shareholder ESG resolutions are generally recognised as a valuable corporate stakeholder engagement mechanism, producing positive change in some companies.
Managing Nascent Digital Competition: An Assessment of Australian Merger Law under Conditions of Radical Uncertainty
Authors: Sinn Joshua
Published: December 2021

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission is among several national competition regulators that have recently expressed concerns about the inability of existing merger law to address competition issues that arise from acquisitions of digital start-ups. The unique characteristics of rapidly evolving digital markets present unprecedented challenges for traditional merger regimes that rely on predictions of future market conditions to justify intervention. This article argues that Australian merger law is unable to adequately address the uncertain risks presented by acquisitions of nascent competitors in digital markets. It further argues that traditional rule-based merger regimes are unable to properly navigate conditions of extreme uncertainty. An alternative regulatory model that is explored in detail is experimentalist governance, which promises to allow regulators and firms to respond to radical uncertainty by recursively crafting solutions to problems that emerge in dynamic digital markets over time.
The Efficacy, Equity and Externalities of Australia’s COVIDSafe App as a Policy Intervention during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Was It Sunscreen or Tanning Lotion?
Authors: Selby John
Published: December 2021

Digital contact tracing apps, such as the COVIDSafe App in Australia, have been rapidly implemented by many governments as a public policy solution to increase the efficiency of health screening testing during the COVID-19 viral pandemic. This article analyses how the COVIDSafe App’s unresolved efficacy and equity issues and the cybersecurity and privacy externalities it imposes onto Australians have prevented the App from making a significant positive contribution towards reducing the impact of the pandemic in Australia. It attributes some of the failure of Bluetooth-based digital contract tracing apps to their mis-characterisation as a Lessigean ‘code as law’ policy response, arguing instead that such apps are more complex and fragile cyber-physical systems requiring more analysis prior to implementation.
Comparative and Critical Analysis of Key Eligibility Criteria for Voluntary Assisted Dying under Five Legal Frameworks
Authors: White Ben P , Close Eliana , Willmott Lindy , Del Villar Katrine , Downie Jocelyn , Cameron James , Hewitt Jayne , Meehan Rebecca , Greaves Laura Ley
Published: December 2021

Eligibility criteria determine a crucial question for all voluntary assisted dying frameworks: who can access assistance to die? This article undertakes a critical and comparative analysis of these criteria across five legal frameworks: existing laws in Victoria, Western Australia, Oregon and Canada, along with a model Bill for reform. Key aspects of these criteria analysed are capacity requirements; the nature of the medical condition that will qualify; and any required suffering. There are many similarities between the five models but there are also important differences which can have a significant impact on who can access voluntary assisted dying and when. Further, seemingly straightforward criteria can become complex in practice. The article concludes with the implications of this analysis for designing voluntary assisted dying regulation. Those implications include challenges of designing certain yet fair legislation and the need to evaluate voluntary assisted dying frameworks holistically to properly understand their operation.
Imagining an Affirmational Republic
Authors: Morris Shireen
Published: December 2021

This article explores the idea of an affirmational republic which, both structurally and symbolically, affirms rather than rejects Australia’s British history and heritage while equally celebrating the nation’s Indigenous inheritance and multicultural achievements. Part II explores the history of republican advocacy to unpack the common, predominantly symbolic, justifications for republican reform. It then elucidates dual, separate but connected, purposes – one small and practical and one big and symbolic – to show that each purpose may entail a different solution. Part III discerns lessons from the failed 1999 referendum, to help guide what an affirmational republic could involve. The proposed approach is developed further in Part IV. Addressing the practical purpose, I suggest the title ‘Governor-General’ could be retained (instead of ‘President’) and provide arguments against direct election. Addressing the symbolic purpose, I suggest an inspiring national Declaration could be better achieved extra-constitutionally, as the Referendum Council recommended in 2017.
Where Does Truth Lie? The Challenges and Imperatives of Fact-Finding in Trial, Appellate, Civil and Criminal Courts and International Commissions of Inquiry
Authors: Kirby Michael
Published: December 2021

The author takes three instances to illustrate the difficult but essential task of fact-finding in formal decision-making. The first concerns the residual fact-finding responsibility of appellate courts when scrutinising fact-finding in primary civil proceedings, with an emphasis on incontrovertible facts. The second involves criminal appeals where the prosecution has presented a compelling case of circumstantial evidence, but a retrial may be required because of an unbalanced judicial direction. The third involves an international commission of inquiry on human rights where the state concerned refuses to cooperate yet demonstrates faulty testimony (later acknowledged) by a witness. Human decision-making is always subject to error, whether on the facts or the law. However, that risk cannot impede the imperatives of decision-making and of explaining relevant fact-finding in the most convincing way possible, so as to discharge the ultimate responsibility of reaching a reasoned decision.
Addressing Disconnection: Automated Decision-Making, Administrative Law and Regulatory Reform
Authors: Huggins Anna
Published: December 2021

Automation is transforming how government agencies make decisions. This article analyses three distinctive features of automated decision-making that are difficult to reconcile with key doctrines of administrative law developed for a human-centric decision-making context. First, the complex, multi-faceted decision-making requirements arising from statutory interpretation and administrative law principles raise questions about the feasibility of designing automated systems to cohere with these expectations. Secondly, whilst the courts have emphasised a human mental process as a criterion of a valid decision, many automated decisions are made with limited or no human input. Thirdly, the new types of bias associated with opaque automated decision-making are not easily accommodated by the bias rule, or other relevant grounds of judicial review. This article, therefore, argues that doctrinal and regulatory evolution are both needed to address these disconnections and maintain the accountability and contestability of administrative decisions in the digital age.
A Turán fogalom megjelenése és korai perzsabarát turanisták a 19. század első felében Magyarországon
Authors: Sárközy Miklós
Published: December 2021

Mint az közismert, a turanizmus, ez az ázsiai eredetünket hangsúlyozó ideológia, az utóbbi kétszáz évben nagy népszerűségre tett szert. A jelen tanulmány azzal a kérdéssel foglalkozik, mikor és hogyan jelent meg először Magyarországon a Turán kifejezés, és az orientalisztika születő tudománya hogyan gyakorolhatott figyelemreméltó hatást a magyar értelmiség identitására a 19. század elején. Tanulmányom első részében a Turán kifejezés gyökereire és kontextusára igyekszem rávilágítani az iráni kultúrában. Forrásaink szerint a Turán nevet Nyugat-Európába a 18. század első felében Abū’ l-Ḡāzī Bahādur khívai kán közép-ázsiai krónikájának, a Šajara-yi turknak a fordítása vezette be. E mű európai fordításai a 19. század elején értek el Magyarországra, és a perzsa hatások beáramlása hamarosan érdekes ötvözet forrásává lett, amelyben a hun-szkíta rokonság régi elképzelése olvadt össze az iráni Turán-fogalommal, ahogy azt a nyugati tudomány felfogta. Az első magyar turanisták (Jerney, Kállay, Pulszky, Maróthy) mind eltökélt perzsabarátok voltak, akiket Turán és Irán perzsa felfogása erősen befolyásolt, s új elméleteket alkottak a magyar őstörténetről, amelyek együtt alapultak magyar elképzeléseken és a kortárs orientalisztika újonnan felfedezett adatain.
A proto-hun és hsziungnu lehetőségéről magyar és jenyiszeji közös etimológiák alapján
Authors: Gao Jingyi
Published: December 2021

A jenyiszejiekkel kapcsolatban, mindössze egy hsziungnu–jenyiszeji etimológia alapján, elsőként Ligeti (1950) feltételezte, hogy a hsziungnu nép leszármazottai voltak. Pulleyblank (1962) ugyanezt állította több fonológiai és etimológiai bizonyíték felmutatásával. Jelen tanulmány megállapítja, hogy tíz magyar alapszótőnek ténylegesen van etimológiai megfelelője a jenyiszeji nyelvekben. Ésszerű azt feltenni, hogy ezek az etimonok egy hun szubsztrátumhoz tartoznak, amely rokonságban áll a jenyiszejivel. Ezen tíz újonnan felfedezett magyar és jenyiszeji közös etimológia között szabályos hangváltozást lehet kikövetkeztetni három szónál: A magyar -ó (-ava-) rím összefüggésbe hozható a proto-jenyiszeji *-Vgǝ rímmel (tó – *degǝ, hó – *qogǝ ’jég’, só – *t'ǝgǝ). A szabályos hangváltozás megerősíti az etimológiai kapcsolatot a magyar és a jenyiszeji között. Az összes újonnan azonosított magyar és jenyiszeji közös etimológia az alapszókincshez tartozik, és a magyarban alapvetően használatos. Ezek nem lehetnek kölcsönszavak sem a jenyiszejiből a magyarba, sem a magyarból a jenyiszejibe a két nyelv nagy földrajzi távolsága miatt.

The rapid growth of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the 21st century has resulted in the emergence of a novel technological paradigm; known as the Internet of Things, or IoT. The IoT, which is at the heart of today's smart infrastructure, aids in the creation of a ubiquitous network of things by simplifying interconnection between smart digital devices and enabling Machine to Machine (M2M) communication. As of now, there are numerous examples of IoT use cases available, assisting every person in this world towards making their lives easier and more convenient. The latest advancement of IoT in a variety of domains such as healthcare, smart city, smart agriculture has led to an exponential growth of cyber-attacks that targets these pervasive IoT environments, which can even lead to jeopardizing the lives of people; that is involved with it. In general, this IoT can be considered as every digital object that is connected to the Internet for intercommunication. Hence in this regard to analyze cyber threats that come through the Internet, here we are doing an experimental evaluation to analyze the requests, received to exploit the opened Secure Shell (SSH) connection service of an IoT device, which in our case a Raspberry Pi devices, which connected to the Internet for more than six consecutive days. By opening the SSH service on Raspberry Pi, it acts as a Honeypot device where we can log and retrieve all login attempt requests received to the SSH service opened. Inspired by evaluating the IoT security attacks that target objects in the pervasive IoT environment, after retrieving all the login requests made through the open SSH connection we then provide a comprehensive analysis along with our observations about the origin of the requests and the focus areas of intruders; in this study.

Published: December 2021

Dementia is one of the most common diseases in the world. The number of patients with dementia is increasing rapidly day by day. Patients with dementia are commonly older than 65 years, and they already use additional drugs for other diseases. It becomes a challenge for individuals in this age group to keep track of their drug timings themselves for dementia patients especially. This study aims to design a device that allows the following dosage and usage regularity of the pills for this purpose. There are five different slices for the pills. This device also has five distinct alarm hours to remind to take pills. When the clock hits a scheduled time, an alarm starts to beep, and an LED flashes to warn the patient. The user can take the pill by pressing the green button within two minutes after the alarm. In this case, servo motors connected pill sections to the "shelf" part of the device. By pulling the shelf, the patient can reach the pills. Otherwise, this device sends an e-mail to the preset e-mail address (and a short message to the phone number) of the person who is responsible for the patient.

By the help of technological advances such as the development of computer and imaging technologies, surgical navigation has started to be used rapidly in medical literature. It is one of the recent methods used to track surgical tools inside the operation volume. In light of vital advantages as operation safety, minimally invasive application compatibility, reduction of operation times and reduced post operation complication risks, surgical navigation has been rapidly adopted throughout the relevant fields. Considering these, this study both tries to apply an introduced analytical method to one of the most important steps of surgical navigation as registration and compares the results within the scope of application compatibility. Throughout the study, a solid model with known dimensions was placed inside a capture volume in which the motion cameras are able to provide position measurements. Carrying out point based registration method by taking necessary measurements, relation between the model reference and measurement space reference was calculated by means of a transformation matrix. Using acquired relationship, measured landmark positions of the model were compared with the structurally known real landmark positions. At the end of the study results were given and the applicability of the introduced analytical solution method in point based registration is discussed.

Authors: Dogdu Batuhan , Ertugrul Onur
Published: December 2021

Eutectic silicon modification is an important casting parameter on Al-Si alloys on the aspect of mechanical capability and energy absorption of the cast part. Chemical modifier element strontium has been used to obtain eutectic modification on Al-Si alloy commercially. On the other hand, high cooling rate on Al-Si alloys both refine dendrites and silicon phase which enhances mechanical characteristic. In order to find a statistical relationship between strontium amount and cooling rate, a special mold was designed in order to obtain different range of cooling rates in same cast part, then tensile test data of A356 alloy were analyzed in Minitab software. Therefore, after regression and analysis of variance tests have been proceeded, it was found that strontium amount is only dominant for lower cooling rates of < 0.9 oC.

Published: December 2021

Photobiomodulation is a practical and noninvasive treatment that triggers cell proliferation, cell differentiation, wound healing, new tissue formation, inflammation and pain reduction with low-level light therapy. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are energy-saving, affordable and safe alternatives to laser devices which are recently preferred in photobiomodulation. Although the wavelengths between 600-700 nm are most preferred ones, there is a lack of practical optical systems which study this mechanism in vitro with different wavelengths simultaneously. In this study, a portable and remotely controlled multicolor LED-based system was designed and tested on the wound healing process of human keratinocytes by irradiating the cells homogenously with 3 different wavelengths (460-475 nm as blue, 515-535 nm as green, and 585-595 nm as orange) on different experimental groups at the same time. Its proliferative and wound healing effect was evaluated with cell viability (MTT) analysis and cell migration (scratch) assay, respectively. It was observed that orange-LEDs were designated as the most triggering wavelength in terms of cell proliferation. Also, it was revealed with this device that different wavelengths can reach the intended accelerated wound healing process, so this optical system will be an advantageous design for future practical photobiomodulation studies in vitro.

Ovarian cancer, which is the most common in women and occurs mostly in the post-menopausal period, develops with the uncontrolled proliferation of the cells in the ovaries and the formation of tumors. Early diagnosis is very difficult and in most cases, it is a type of cancer that is in advanced stages when first diagnosed. While it tends to be treated successfully in the early stages where it is confined to the ovary, it is more difficult to treat in the advanced stages and is often fatal. For this reason, it has been focused on studies that predict whether people have ovarian cancer. In our study, we designed a RF-based ovarian cancer prediction model using a data set consisting of 49 features including blood routine tests, general chemistry tests and tumor marker data of 349 real patients. Since the data set containing too many dimensions will increase the time and resources that need to be spent, we reduced the dimension of the data with PCA, K-PCA and ICA methods and examined its effect on the result and time saving. The best result was obtained with a score of 0.895 F1 by using the new smaller-sized data obtained by the PCA method, in which the dimension was reduced from 49 to 6, in the RF method, and the training of the model took 18.191 seconds. This result was both better as a success and more economical in terms of time spent during model training compared to the prediction made over larger data with 49 features, where no dimension reduction method was used. The study has shown that in predictions made with machine learning models over large-scale medical data, dimension reduction methods will provide advantages in terms of time and resources by improving the prediction results.

THE CONCEPT OF ECO-EFFICIENCY IN FISHERIES. A LITERATURE REVIEW
Authors: Piwońska Kalina
Published: December 2021

In light of the decreasing level of biodiversity in the seas and oceans, humanity has to take action to simultaneously maintain a socio-ecological balance and a satisfactory level of fish catches. The degree to which these priorities are achieved can be analyzed using measures of eco-efficiency. The aim of this paper is to present the concept of eco-efficiency in fisheries in literature. In other words, to find out and compare which definitions and measurement methods are most often used by researchers in this area. For this purpose, manual content analysis has been used to research documents available in the SCOPUS database. The review found that, while literature on eco-efficiency in agriculture is abundant, there is still a deficit of research strictly on the fisheries sector. Among 980 articles, only 8 dealt accurately with the selected issue. The most common definition of eco-efficiency is the one proposed by the WBCSD, and the dominant method for measuring eco-efficiency in fisheries is DEA+LCA; however, social aspects are often omitted in these studies, and the studies themselves have a short time span. It is also mentioned that the results obtained in fisheries have lower reliability than in the agricultural sector, mainly due to the phenomenon of bycatch and poorer control of activity at sea.
