Povodom obilježavanja 300 godina od nastanka ideje liberalizma,ovaj rad predstavlja prilog proucavanju povijesti politickog i ekonomskogliberalizma na prostoru Hrvatske od kraja Hladnog rata, s naglaskomna prostor Istre i Kvarnera. Polazeci od paradigme usporednog jacanjahrvatskog centralistickog nacionalizma te europske a rmacije konceptatransnacionalnih regija, kao i americke dijagnoze jugoslavenske unutarnjepoliticke situacije, rad pokazuje svojevrsno ideološko odstupanje liberalnihstranaka u Hrvatskoj, pogotovo IDS-a, u pitanjima shvacanja pojedinca,države i ekonomije. Osim na sjednicama Predsjedništva SocijalistickeRepublike Hrvatske, posebnost politicke situacije u Rijeci i Istri vidi se iu dnevnom tisku za vrijeme izborne kampanje 1990. godine gdje svakapoliticka grupacija pokušava reinterpretirati taj prostor u svoju korist.Europska liberalna ideja u Istri nošena IDS-om uvelike je nailazilana probleme tijekom 1990-ih godina da bi tijekom ulaska RepublikeHrvatske u clanstvo Europske unije IDS bio jedna od najsnažnijihproeuropskih stranka koja je i nakon više od 20 godina od svog nastankakontinuirano ostala uz izvorne ideje ekonomskog i politickog liberalizma.
Parents’ Views on Mobile Phone Use
Authors: Abels Monika , Augustson Anders , Tande Klepaker Peder
Published: April 2024

Mobile phones have become almost ubiquitous, including the lives of parents of young children. This paper examined the question of how parents with young children living in Norway perceive their phone usage. Twelve parents were interviewed individually about situations and for what purposes they used their phones, whether they had discussed mobile media with others and how they felt about it. Interviews were analyzed thematically. Parents reported using their phones mainly for information seeking and communication and networking in their role as parents. Mobile phones were evaluated as positive or helpful to parents. However, situations that were deemed to require parents’ focused attention, such as playing or book-reading were considered inappropriate for using mobile phones, as were mealtimes. Situations in which children were occupied with playing or watching TV were considered acceptable for using mobile phones. Visits to the playground seemed controversial and situational. Being present emerged as a major theme of good parenting and even though brief and important usages of the phone were considered somewhat acceptable while with children, many parents reported feeling guilty about their usage. Several usage reduction strategies were described such as muting the phone or certain notifications or putting the phone away. Despite national guidelines recommending the topic, the majority had not received information about parental screen use from health care personnel. In contrast, many had discussed the topic with friends and family members, sometimes controversially. The results are briefly discussed in light of the previous research and the societal conditions in Norway.
Students’ Loneliness
Authors: Fabijanić Sara , Batinić Lana , Vrselja Ivana
Published: April 2024

The aim of this study was to investigate whether support in the offline world and some aspects of social network use predict loneliness in students. A cross-sectional online study was conducted in March 2023 on a sample of 211 (80.6% female) students aged 18 to 26. Participants provided information on the social support they receive in the offline world (tangible support, evaluative support, self-esteem support, and belonging support), some aspects of their social network use (intensity of use, number of friends, and number of likes and comments), and loneliness. The data was analysed using a hierarchical regression analysis. As expected, the analysis showed that stronger appraisal, stronger self-esteem, and stronger belonging support in offline life were associated with lower loneliness in students. Surprisingly, none of the measured aspects of social network use significantly predicted students’ loneliness. These results provide valuable insight into understanding loneliness in the context of offline and online social relationships.

Authors: Landolt Daniel , Dürig Rolf
Published: April 2024

Der Fachkräftemangel fordert auch die Waldwirtschaft heraus. Im Rahmen eines Projekts der Organisation der Arbeitswelt Wald Schweiz werden Vorschläge präsentiert, wie dem Fachkräftemangel entgegenwirkt werden kann. Ein Fokus liegt auf der Gewinnung und Bindung von qualifizierten Arbeitskräften. Körperliche Belastung, niedrige Löhne und unattraktive Bedingungen führen zu einer Abwanderung von erfahrenen Waldarbeiterinnen und Waldarbeitern. Massnahmen zur Verbesserung der Anstellungsbedingungen, der Arbeitsbedingungen, der Personalentwicklung, der Modernisierung der Betriebsstrukturen und der Weiterentwicklung von Aus- und Weiterbildungen werden vorgeschlagen. Ein koordinierter Effort ist erforderlich, um sicherzustellen, dass genügend Fachkräfte die Arbeiten im Wald in den kommenden Jahren durchführen können.

Published: April 2024

Background: Hypercholesterolemia, characterized by elevated low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels, is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Familial and behavioral factors contribute to its onset, and while lifestyle changes offer some benefits, medical interventions are essential to manage this condition effectively. Statins, the primary medications used to lower LDL cholesterol, have limitations, including the unintended upregulation of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9). Therefore, exploring alternative approaches to enhance LDL receptor expression while targeting PCSK9 is crucial, with herbal medicine showing promise in this endeavor.
Objective: This study investigates the potential of pomegranate peel extract and punicalagin, a key pomegranate component, in lowering LDL cholesterol in HepG2 cells. The research explores their effects on LDL receptor (LDLR) expression, LDL uptake, and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) gene expression.
Methods: HepG2 cells were treated with different concentrations of pomegranate peel extract (37.5, 75, 150, and 300 μg/ml) and punicalagin (12.5, 25, 50, and 100 μg/ml). Next, the viability of HepG2 cells, the protein levels of LDL receptors and LDL uptake, and the expression levels of PCSK9 were measured.
Results: Pomegranate peel extract (37.5, 75, 150, and 300 μg/ml) and punicalagin (12.5, 25, 50, and 100 μg/ml) did not exhibit significant cytotoxicity and significantly increased LDLR protein levels (P-value= 0.00, after 24 hours) and LDL cholesterol uptake (P-value= 0.00, after 24 hours). Furthermore, they exhibited a dose-dependent reduction in the expression of PCSK9 (pomegranate: P-value= 0.01; punicalagin: P-value= 0.00). 
Conclusion: These findings suggest that pomegranate peel extract and punicalagin have the potential to serve as effective agents in managing hypercholesterolemia by enhancing LDL receptor expression and reducing PCSK9 expression in HepG2 cells. Further research is required to explore their effects on transcription factors and PCSK9 function.

Redundancy and reliability levels of post-tensioned and grouted concrete cross-section in case of tendon failure
Authors: Asp Olli , Laaksonen Anssi
Published: April 2024

Since the 1960 s and 1970 s, the prestressing steel used on post-tensioned concrete (PTC) bridges has been known to be susceptible to stress corrosion cracking (SCC). This can result in brittle rupture of the prestressing steel. Objective of this study is to evaluate the reliability levels achieved with assessment method developed for verifying crack behaviour before failure in cross-section of PTC bridges with cross-section loss of prestressing steel. Additionally, the study aims to investigate of tendon loss on crack before failure behaviour. This paper applies a reliability analysis for methodology based on robustness analysis on crack before failure behaviour in PTC with deteriorating prestressing steel. The analysis involves examining cross-sections with various design criteria. The effects of choices made in designing the PTC structure are analysed and noted to have a significant impact on the safety margin of the structure, while the deterioration of prestressing steel does not significantly decrease the ductility of the cross-section if certain conditions are met. The use of stricter serviceability limit-state (SLS) criteria used in past design results the greater safety margin for the structure in the event of tendon loss, which therefore makes it beneficial for structural redundancy in the ultimate limit state (ULS).

Published: April 2024

Use of the Internet of Everything (IoE), the number of smart gadgets increasing rapidly giving the side effect of huge data, which has led to issues with traditional cloud computing models like inadequate security, slow response times, poor privacy, and bandwidth overload. Conventionally, cloud computing is no longer adequate for supporting the diversified needs of the user and the extraordinary society of data processing, so edge computing technologies have been revealed. This study considers edge computing in an educational institute in a scientific way. Multi criteria decision making (MCDM) is one of the most suitable decision making processes that propose to choose optimal alternatives by considering multiple conflicting criteria. Entropy weighted method is considered to evaluate factor weight. Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) and Combined Compromise Solution (CoCoSo) based MCDM methodologies examine the ranking of alternatives for this study. Multiple decision makers (DMs) give opinions with Pentagonal Fuzzy Soft Set (PFSS) to express the uncertainty and fuzziness of the data set. The set operations and arithmetic operations of PFSS are discussed in detail. Also, a new de-fuzzification method of PFSS is proposed in this study. Calculated the criteria weight and prioritized the alternative based on source data. Lastly, sensitivity analysis and comparative analysis are conducted to check the stability of the result.
Effects of Blood Flow Restriction Resistance Training on Autonomic and Endothelial Function in Persons with Parkinson’s Disease
Authors: Bane Annie , Wilson Lorraine , Jumper Jill , Spindler Lindsay , Wyatt Pricilla , Willoughby Darryn
Published: April 2024

Background:

Autonomic dysfunction precedes endothelial dysfunction in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and causes blood pressure and circulation abnormalities that are highly disruptive to one’s quality of life. While exercise interventions have proven helpful for motor symptoms of PD, improving associated non-motor symptoms is limited. Low-intensity resistance training with blood flow restriction (LIRT-BFR) improves autonomic dysfunction in non-PD patients and high-intensity resistance training (HIRT) is recommended for motor symptom improvements for people with PD (PwPD).

Objective:

To determine the effects of LIRT-BFR and HIRT on homocysteine and autonomic and endothelial function in PwPD and to determine the hemodynamic loads during LIRT-BFR and HIRT in PwPD using a novel exercise protocol.

Methods:

Thirty-eight PwPD were assigned LIRT-BFR, HIRT or to a control (CNTRL) group. The LIRT-BFR and HIRT groups exercised three days per week for four weeks. The LIRT-BFR protocol used 60% limb occlusion pressure (LOP) and performed three sets of 20 repetitions at 20% of the one-repetition maximum (1RM). The HIRT group performed three sets of eight repetitions at 80% 1RM. The CNTRL group was asked to continue their normal daily routines.

Results:

LIRT-BFR significantly improved orthostatic hypotension ( p = 0.026), homocysteine levels ( p < 0.001), peripheral circulation ( p = 0.003), supine blood pressure ( p = 0.028) and heart rate variability ( p = 0.041); LIRT-BFR improved homocysteine levels ( p < 0.018), peripheral circulation ( p = 0.005), supine blood pressure ( p = 0.007) and heart rate variability ( p = 0.047) more than HIRT; and hemodynamic loads for LIRT-BFR and HIRT were similar.

Conclusions:

LIRT-BFR may be more effective than HIRT for autonomic and endothelial function improvements in PwPD and hemodynamic loads may be lessened in LIRT-BFR protocols using single-joint exercises with intermittent blood flow restriction. Further research is needed to determine if non-motor symptoms improve over time and if results are sustainable.
Oscillation-Specific Nodal Differences in Parkinson’s Disease Patients with Anxiety
Authors: Chang Bowen , Mei Jiaming , Ni Chen , Chen Peng , Jiang Yuge , Niu Chaoshi
Published: April 2024

Background:

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder that is predominantly known for its motor symptoms but is also accompanied by non-motor symptoms, including anxiety.

Objective:

The underlying neurobiological substrates and brain network changes associated with comorbid anxiety in PD require further exploration.

Methods:

An analysis of oscillation-specific nodal properties in patients with and without anxiety was conducted using resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and graph theory. We used a band-pass filtering approach to differentiate oscillatory frequency bands for subsequent functional connectivity (FC) and graph analyses.

Results:

The study included 68 non-anxiety PD (naPD) patients, 62 anxiety PD (aPD) patients, and 64 healthy controls (NC). Analyses of nodal betweenness centrality (BC), degree centrality (DC), and efficiency were conducted across multiple frequency bands. The findings indicated no significant differences in BC among naPD, aPD, and NC within the 0.01–0.08 Hz frequency range. However, we observed a specific reduction in BC at narrower frequency ranges in aPD patients, as well as differing patterns of change in DC and efficiency, which are believed to reflect the neurophysiological bases of anxiety symptoms in PD.

Conclusions:

Differential oscillation-specific nodal characteristics have been identified in PD patients with anxiety, suggesting potential dysregulations in brain network dynamics. These findings emphasize the complexity of brain network alterations in anxiety-associated PD and identify oscillatory frequencies as potential biomarkers. The study highlights the importance of considering oscillatory frequency bands in the analysis of brain network changes.

Published: April 2024

BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a severe occupational health issue among medical radiation practitioners. It is mostly linked to personal protective wear, working posture, tools employed and ergonomics. OBJECTIVE: To assess and evaluate the musculoskeletal disorders among nuclear medicine professionals (NMP) in India. METHODS: An online survey was distributed to 455 NMP throughout India between November 2021 and March 2022 covering the demographic characteristics and questions for evaluation of musculoskeletal symptoms using the Standardized Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (NMQ). Participants with any pre-existing musculoskeletal disorder or trauma were excluded. Descriptive statistics summarized the data from the demographics, discomfort, aches and work-related musculoskeletal injuries. Chi-square test was used to examine the association between the obtained values. RESULTS: 91 out of 124 respondents were included based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results shows that there is a significant association between the height of the individual and neck pain, body mass index and elbows pain, age and low back pain, experience in the current work and upper back pain, the weight of the individual and knee pain, use of mobile lead screens and shoulder pain, use of gonad shield, trouble in the ankles and use of lead screens, and QC phantoms for gamma camera / PET and wrists/hands pain. CONCLUSION: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders among NMP are resulting from factors of individual demographic variables (such as age, height, weight, body mass index), years of experience at the current workplace and of using instruments in their work area.

Актуальність цього дослідження полягає у необхідності детально розглянути правові основи державного регулювання процесів міграції в Киргизькій Республіці у зв’язку з можливим розвитком міграційної кризи у країнах Близького Сходу та Європи. Мета дослідження – вивчити законодавство Киргизької Республіки щодо повного та належного закріплення правових норм, спрямованих на регулювання міграції відповідно до міграційної політики держави, заснованої на національних інтересах, міжнародних стандартах та сучасних міграційних тенденціях. Для проведення дослідження було використано такі загальнонаукові та спеціальні методи: формально-юридичний аналіз, догматичний метод, синтез, дедукція та узагальнення. У процесі дослідження було розглянуто базу національного законодавства у сфері регулювання міграційних процесів. Відповідно до ключових елементів також було виділено три аспекти законодавчого регулювання міграційних процесів у Киргизькій Республіці. До них були віднесені такі аспекти, як: конституційне, міжнародне та національне законодавство. За результатами проведеного дослідження визначено, що нині правове регулювання міграційних процесів у Киргизькій Республіці, з урахуванням великого масиву нормативно-правових джерел, перебуває у стадії розробки та реформування. Деякі законодавчі акти не містять правового закріплення державного захисту прав громадян Киргизької Республіки, які перебувають за межами держави. Механізми забезпечення такої підтримки для громадян-мігрантів також не було виявлено. Були зроблені висновки, що слід приділити увагу розробці продуманої міграційної політики держави, оскільки від політичних рішень залежить подальший вектор розвитку міграційного законодавства Киргизької Республіки

Saat ini Indonesia sedang menggalakkan sebuah kurikulum baru yang bernama Kurikulum Merdeka, hal ini menuntut semua lembaga pendidikan untuk mempersiapkan diri dalam menghadapi kurikulum tersebut, termasuk di MTs Al Ishlah Pageruyung Kabupaten Kendal. 
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk: 1) Mengetahui konsep kurikulum merdeka pada tingkat Sekolah Menengah Pertama/MTs; 2) Mengetahui kesiapan guru pendidikan agama Islam dalam menghadapi kurikulum merdeka di MTs Al Ishlah Pageruyung Kabupaten Kendal; 3) Mengetahui faktor pendukung dan penghambat guru pendidikan agama Islam dalam menghadapi kurikulum merdeka di MTs Al Ishlah Pageruyung Kabupaten Kendal.
Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kualitatif dimana jenis penelitiannya bersifat deskriptif. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan metode observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Kemudian sumber data diperoleh dari sumber data primer dan data sekunder (observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi yang berkaitan dengan kurikulum merdeka). Adapun teknik analisis yang digunakan adalah teknik reduksi data, penyajian data, dan verifikasi data.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa: 1) Konsep kurikulum merdeka pada tingkat satuan pendidikan SMP/MTs berbeda dengan tingkat satuan pendidikan lainnya. 2) Kesiapan guru pendidikan agama Islam dalam menghadapi kurikulum merdeka di MTs Al Ishlah Pageruyung kabupaten Kendal sudah dimulai dengan sosialisasi awal, memodifikasi RPP dengan penambahan Profil Pelajar Pancasila, penganggaran biaya sekolah, pengadaan laboratorium komputer, serta peningkatan SDM. Namun bila dibandingkan dengan teori yang ada, kesiapan tersebut masih kurang. Seperti perlunya peningkatan infrastruktur, sarana dan prasarana, sosialisasi dan pelatihan kurikulum merdeka dan penggalakan platform merdeka mengajar. 3) Faktor pendukung guru PAI dalam menghadapi kurikulum merdeka di MTs Al Ishlah: adanya bimbingan dari pengawas madrasah, guru sudah bisa menggunakan media digital dan mengajar sesuai keahlian, adanya laboratorium komputer. Faktor penghambat guru PAI dalam menghadapi kurikulum merdeka di MTs Al Ishlah: sosialisasi kurang, media digital belum memadahi, peningkatan kualitas guru PAI masih terhambat, infrastruktur sekolah rendah.

Published: April 2024

This article aims to explore the Islam-based Children's Spirituality Education (CSE) model in forming students' religious tolerance. This research employs qualitative research incorporating literature study and interviews with numerous teachers teaching religion subject. The research results show that there are four principles of the Islamic CSE model that play a crucial role in strengthening students' religious tolerance, including; 1) respect for other people's beliefs, 2) building a logical, rational and inclusive way of thinking, 3) a spirit of seeking the truth and respecting different truths, and 4) building a spirit of religious moderation and living peacefully side by side with religious beliefs. The advantage of this model lies in its holistic and diverse approach to shaping students' spirituality and recognizing spiritual, emotional, social and cognitive dimensions as an integral part of individual development. The positive implications for Islamic Religious Education include actualizing children's potential according to the principles of Islamic spirituality, supporting the goals of spiritual and moral education, and stimulating understanding of the levels of spirituality in Islam. This model is an effective means of implementing an attitude of tolerance towards non-Muslims through an inclusive and respectful approach towards other beliefs.

Introduction: Hypertension is a chronic condition which blood pressure increases above normal limits. It can cause a variety of other health issues such as heart, eyes, and kidney problems. Hypertension can occur due to various risk factors such as sleep disturbance. Sleep disturbance often occurs in students that could be affected by demands from college such as attending school community, school tasks, or exams.
Objective: Correlation between sleep patterns and blood pressure in students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Prima Indonesia in 2023. Method: Cross-sectional, the samples in this study are students of the Faculty of Medicine, Universitas Prima Indonesia, Class 2020-2022 who had met the selection and exclusion criteria based on the quota sampling technique. The data was then analyzed with the Chi-Square test.
Result: The calculation results show that out of 85 respondents, 49 people (57,6%) had poor sleep patterns and 36 people (42,9%) had good sleep patterns. Out of 85 respondents, 11 people (12,9%) had normal blood pressure, 35 people (41,2%) had pre-hypertension blood pressure, 33 people (38,8%) had stage 1 hypertension blood pressure, and 6 people (7,1%) had stage 2 hypertension blood pressure. The Chi-Square test results showed no meaningful relationship between sleep patterns and blood pressure (p value=0,929).
Conclusion: There is no meaningful relationship between sleep patterns and blood pressure of Universitas Prima Indonesia students in 2023.

Published: April 2024

Background: Breast carcinoma exhibits heterogeneity in terms of morphology, molecular, treatment response, and clinical outcomes. The objective of the study was to classify the various malignant breast cancer cases based on their immunohistochemical characteristics and understand their association and behavior, which may be useful for predicting treatment and prognosis.
Methods: In this study, 12808 malignant breast cancer cases were studied based on hormone receptor IHC biomarkers, age, gender, histological type, grade and molecular classifiers.
Results: The mean age of patients was 53.63+13.08 years, around 45.43% were grade 3 tumors and the invasive duct carcinoma of non-specified type (NST) was the most common type seen (93.83%). ER positivity was 83.89% in grade 1, 69.9% in grade 2, and 36.86% in grade 3 tumors, and the overall PR and Her-2 positivity was 47.06% and 18.67%, respectively. A relatively higher percentage of Triple Negative cases was seen (36.58%), followed by 25.43% Luminal A cases. There was a significant association between molecular subtypes with respect to age, gender, Scarff Bloom Richardson (SBR) grade, and histological type (P<0.0001). Overall, grade 3 tumor cases were most common, the majority of which were Triple Negative.  Maximum cases of triple negative tumors were seen among women, being mostly concentrated in younger age group i.e. <40 years.
Conclusion: Immunohistochemistry for hormone receptor positivity remains the mainstay of diagnosis and molecular sub-classification. The hormone response of tumors is important prognostically, in predicting the treatment outcomes. Going further, molecular analysis and gene expression studies can further augment the histopathological diagnosis to assist strategies of targeted therapy and precision medicine resulting in better patient outcomes.

Background: Depression is one of the major mental health problems that hinder recovery of breast cancer patients. Comorbidity of depressive disorder and breast cancer is a complicated medical condition globally. This study examined depression among breast cancer survivors in Nigeria.
Methods: This study used a scoping review approach to explore four databases, which include Google Scholar, PubMed, Medline and Scopus. The search produced 50 records using formulated search terms formulated which are relevant to the topics. Of the 50 records selected, 42 articles that did not meet eligible requirements were removed, and 8 records were included.
Results: this study revealed that depression is one of the psychological problems that patients with breast cancer experience in Nigeria. In addition, this review revealed that psychological interventions such as cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and pilot cognitive restructuring are effective in reducing the depressive symptoms among breast cancer patients in Nigeria.
Conclusion: Based on the published peer reviewed articles, depression is major mental health problem among breast cancer patients in Nigeria, and CBT and psychoeducation have been found to be effective treating depression symptoms in Nigeria. However, more studies are needed in the northern parts of the country since most of the review studies were done in the southern parts of the country.

Published: April 2024

Background: Phantom breast syndrome (PBS) following mastectomy has been believed to be a complex psychological reaction to mastectomy but studies on PBS are limited. The study aims to determine the prevalence of phantom breast syndrome and the impact of phantom breast syndrome on patients suffering from depression following mastectomy.
Methods: A total of 272 women who had undergone mastectomy were interviewed using a structured questionnaire related to phantom breast sensation and depression caused by its effect by using ‘’Hamilton Depression Scale’. SPSS Statistics v27 was used to analyze the data.
Results: Out of 272 females, 7.4% of the participants in our study reported having phantom sensations following surgery, 64.7% had Phantom Breast Syndrome,37.5% had mild, 5.1% had moderate, and 0.7% had severe depression according to ‘Hamilton Depression Scale’. Univariate logistic regression revealed that females under 45 have a higher likelihood of developing phantom breast syndrome compared to those over 45 (OR=2.012, p=0.038).
Conclusion: Females with depression have a higher likelihood of experiencing phantom breast syndrome compared to females without depression.
