Money laundering in Bosnia and Herzegovina
Authors:   European University „Kallos“ Tuzla (Bosnia and Herzegovina), Baljak Miroslav
Published: May 2024

The problem of money laundering in the world is becoming more and more challenging, which Bosnia and Herzegovina are not spared, and there is more and more "dirty" money coming from various criminal activities and trying to "launder", ie put into legal channels. Therefore, anti-money laundering projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina are extremely important, and they have shown the first results. In this regard, in May 2017, the European Union launched a two-year twinning project "Support to the fight against money laundering", and in the meantime, our country was removed from the so-called “gray lists” of the Interstate Anti-Money Laundering Authority (FATF). It should be emphasized that the benefits for Bosnia and Herzegovina due to the removal from the FATF "gray list" are multiple. Due to the fact that Bosnia and Herzegovina were placed on this "gray list", economic entities in their daily business encountered difficult foreign payment transactions. By removing our country from the Interstate Anti-Money Laundering Authority "gray list", the causes of the problems that business entities from Bosnia and Herzegovina face in their daily business, as well as the causes that our citizens encounter when performing financial transactions abroad, cease.

Published: May 2024

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder with a critical need for early and accurate diagnosis. In this research, various machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) techniques are employed for identifying reliable biomarkers for early-stage AD detection. This research paper presents a comprehensive approach utilizing a myriad of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML), i.e., self-attention mechanisms with Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) model has been proposed for predicting the onset of AD. The study has compared these models including Gaussian Naive Bayes (GNB), Decision Trees (DT), Random Forest (RF), XGBoost, Voting Classifier (VC) where the proposed Feature based CNN (F-CNN) network produces the highest classification accuracy, sensitivity, recall, AUC and F1 scores by utilizing datasets such as the Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). The proposed approach holds promise for early detection and intervention in AD, potentially enabling clinicians to intervene before the onset of clinical symptoms. The findings of this research could significantly contribute to improving patient outcomes and advancing our understanding of Alzheimer's disease pathology.

Authors: Stipić Danilo , Pavlović Nina , Stipić Matija , Ačai Lila , Ivić Nikica
Published: May 2024

The water supply system of the City of Novi Sad consists of facilities and a distribution network that supplies water to the consumption area of the City of Novi Sad and the Municipality of Sremski Karlovci. The water supply system supplies water to about 400,000 inhabitants, and the average annual production of water is about 35 million m3. The total length of the water supply network of the City of Novi Sad and Sremski Karlovci is about 1,200 km, of which about 200 km is an illegal water supply network. In the last decade, water losses in the water supply network have increased from 25% to around 32%, i.e. by around 0.7% per year. Water losses can be slowed down by comprehensive reconstruction of the water supply network and an active role in the fight against losses.

Approach to loss reduction in water supply systems: Self-initiative or systemic?
Authors: Dimkić Dejan
Published: May 2024

Non-Revenue water (NRW), in water supply systems (WSS) have different components and varied values in our region. Similar is valid for the factors that influence them. Improving the work/reducing the losses of a WSS can be done in several ways, where two approaches/thinking are dominant: self-initiative of enterprising people of a utility company (UC) and systemic approach. Self-initiative means undertaking actions that are feasible in the domain of UC (reduction of apparent losses, simpler actions to reduce real losses), and are related to small financial resources, available to all Waterworks companies. The system approach can be on two levels. The first is local, where once again the mainstay is enterprising people in the waterworks, who, mostly with the help of experts from the outside, do models, network zoning, and later acquire equipment for detection and reduction of losses. This approach already requires a little more resource, which are generally available only to larger and better organized UC. The second (higher) level of systemic approach comprises the help of the State and appropriate regulations, which would enable systematic financing and controlled spending of funds that would be collected by the UC, with a gradual transition from social to economic price of water. This approach is perhaps the only long-term self-sustainable one.

Authors: Hulimka Jacek , Tunkel Magda
Published: May 2024

During the many years of exploiting building structures, many changes and reconstructions were carried out. Sacral structures were no exception. The article shows an example of a historical wooden church, in which at some point in time the roof was reconstructed. As a result of the above, the system of ridgepoles typical for wooden Silesian churches was destroyed. In 2012 the structure was renovated, bringing back the original roof arrangement. However, this required a change in the geometry of the secondary elements of the structure which did not fit with its original body. After, the works were completed the building regained its original system of ridgepoles, while the secondary elements were reconstructed, thus eliminating the existing problems with water drainage.

Authors: Chang Lu , Wang Xia , Ding Haixia , Zhou Yian
Published: May 2024

In the urban and suburban areas of Lanzhou, a petrochemical industry city located in northwest China, 99 Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) excluding aldehydes and ketones were measured using both PAMS and TO-15 methods between 2021 and 2022. The analysis of the collected data aimed to explore the seasonal trends in air pollution and its correlation with respiratory diseases in Lanzhou. The average annual concentrations of VOCs were found to be 121 ppbv for urban living areas, 165 ppbv for industrial areas, and 114 ppbv for background areas, with industrial areas exhibiting the highest concentration. These VOCs consist of various organic compounds, including alkanes, olefins, halogenated hydrocarbons, and aromatic hydrocarbons, which act as organic tracers of specific marker molecules or their sources. By employing principal component analysis and grouping the species using the maximum variance method, the VOC concentration levels were assessed across different regions. Subsequently, the associated changes were calculated based on the number of reported respiratory morbidity cases from public health hospitals in each region. The results suggest a correlation between VOC concentration levels and the onset of respiratory illnesses during the fall and winter seasons. Therefore, reducing VOC emissions during these months can effectively mitigate the public health risks associated with respiratory illnesses.

Published: May 2024

The systemic therapeutic landscape for cutaneous melanoma continues to evolve, with numerous diverse options currently available. Several clinical trials have resulted in approvals from the FDA and subsequent revisions to the NCCN Guidelines, which reflect the most up-to-date, evidence-based data relating to the evaluation and management of these malignant neoplasms. Combination checkpoint blockades, anti–PD-1 and anti–CTLA-4 monotherapies, and mutation-directed therapies are among the NCCN-recommended approaches across the neoadjuvant, first-line, and later-line settings. Tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte therapy, a recent addition in the later-line setting, may mark a new era in the management of metastatic disease.
Updates in the Management of Small Cell Lung Cancer
Authors: Ganti Apar Kishor
Published: May 2024

The standard treatment for limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is concurrent chemoradiation, with a small subset of patients that could potentially benefit from surgery. For extensive-stage SCLC, the current standard of care is chemoimmunotherapy with a PD-1/PD-L1 inhibitor. The role of prophylactic cranial irradiation in SCLC is currently under debate, and is being investigated in the ongoing MAVERICK trial. Despite high initial response rates to chemoradiotherapy, relapse is common, and outcomes for these patients remain poor. However, recent advances in understanding the molecular biology of SCLC have led to the identification of potential new targets for treatment, including the combination of temozolomide with PARP inhibitors and DLL3-targeted bispecific T-cell engager therapy, both of which have shown activity in early studies.
AI (anthropological inquiry) on AI (artificial intelligence)
Authors: Bekerman Zvi
Published: May 2024

A short reflection of personal engagement with and an exploration of the unforeseen intersections between traditional educational paradigms and the disruptive force of AI. The reflection is not just about discovering a technological tool; it is about encountering a new form of activity, one that could potentially redefine the contours of education and learning. A reflection which brought me to realize that my interaction with ChatGPT, marked by an initial enchantment followed by a phase of critical scrutiny, mirrored the very human process of knowledge acquisition and validation. ChatGPT, with all its capabilities and limitations, was in a sense, as 'human' as any of my colleagues or myself. The process of engaging with, questioning, and validating the information it provided was not a testament to its shortcomings, but rather an affirmation of the critical, discerning approach that underpins scholarly work. In recognizing this, I found a renewed appreciation for the nuanced and complex interplay between human intelligence (from latin legere "choose, pick out, read, collect, gather") and artificial intelligence in the pursuit of knowledge.

En este artículo, en modalidad de ensayo, se plantea una breve reflexión sobre el compromiso personal del autor y la exploración de las intersecciones imprevistas entre los paradigmas educativos tradicionales y la fuerza disruptiva de la IA. A través de esta reflexión no se trata sólo de descubrir una herramienta tecnológica; se trata de encontrar una nueva forma de actividad, que potencialmente podría redefinir los contornos de la educación y el aprendizaje. Una reflexión, por otro lado, que me llevó a darme cuenta de que mi interacción con ChatGPT, marcada por un encanto inicial seguido de una fase de escrutinio crítico, reflejaba un proceso muy humano de adquisición y validación del conocimiento. ChatGPT, con todas sus capacidades y limitaciones, era, en cierto sentido, tan "humano" como cualquiera de mis colegas o como yo mismo. El proceso de abordar, cuestionar y validar la información que proporcionaba no fue un testimonio de sus deficiencias, sino más bien una afirmación del enfoque crítico y perspicaz que sustenta el trabajo académico. Al reconocer esto, encontré una valoración renovada por la compleja y matizada interacción entre la inteligencia humana (del latín legere "elegir, seleccionar, leer, recopilar, reunir") y la inteligencia artificial en la búsqueda del conocimiento.

Kelayakan Mahasiswa sebagai Subjek Penyulih dalam Penelitian Perilaku dengan Metode Eksperimen: Sebuah Reviu Literatur
Authors: Suryaningrum Diah Hari , Utama I Wayan Wisnu
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the feasibility of using students as surrogates in behavior research. Using students as surrogates for accounting practitioners, auditors, or managers has been a controversial issue for decades that can lead to underutilizing experimental methods, such as neglecting the randomization in sample selection. This study relies on reviewing and analyzing the literature on the students' surrogate debate in experimental research, especially in the management and accounting fields. In behavioral research using the experiment method, it is important to select students as surrogates for the study, increase external validity, and the reality of research instruments. This literature review finds that students may or may not be adequate surrogates for non-students in many decision-making experiments. The adequacy of students as surrogates depends on several issues. First, students’ selection as surrogates should be performed cautiously, depending on the context of the cases. Second, the decision-making process is a contingency approach. Lastly, the characteristics of students should resemble the targeted population.
 
ABSTRAK: Penelitian ini menyelidiki kelayakan menggunakan mahasiswa sebagai subjek penyulih atau pengganti dalam penelitian perilaku. Menggunakan mahasiswa sebagai penyulih praktisi akuntansi, auditor, atau manajer telah menjadi isu kontroversial selama beberapa dekade yang dapat menyebabkan kurangnya pemanfaatan metode eksperimental, seperti mengabaikan pengacakan dalam pemilihan sampel. Penelitian ini mengandalkan tinjauan dan analisis literatur tentang debat penyulih mahasiswa dalam penelitian eksperimental, khususnya di bidang manajemen dan akuntansi. Dalam penelitian behavioral yang menggunakan metode eksperimen, penting untuk memilih mahasiswa sebagai penyulih penelitian, meningkatkan validitas eksternal, dan realitas instrumen penelitian. Tinjauan literatur ini menemukan bahwa mahasiswa mungkin atau mungkin tidak menjadi penyulih yang memadai bagi non-mahasiswa dalam banyak eksperimen pengambilan keputusan. Kecukupan mahasiswa sebagai penyulih tergantung pada beberapa masalah. Pertama, pemilihan mahasiswa sebagai penyulih harus dilakukan secara hati-hati, tergantung pada konteks kasusnya. Kedua, proses pengambilan keputusan adalah pendekatan kontingensi. Terakhir, karakteristik mahasiswa harus menyerupai populasi sasaran.

Mekân salt form-işlev ilişkilerinin ötesinde, bedenle etkileşim halinde olan sosyal bir araçtır. Mekânı geometrik bir formdan ayıran en önemli özelliği ise insan bedeni tarafından deneyimlenebilir olmasıdır. Mekân, duyular aracılığıyla ve bireyin biriktirdiği her türlü deneyimle anlamlanır. Mekâna dair pek çok nitelik, algılananın bedende uyandırdığı etkiyle anlam kazanır. Zihin birtakım göndermelerle onu kendine uyarlar, kendileştirir. Bu durum mekânı öncesiz-sonrasız bir zamana taşır.

Yazar Curzio Malaparte’nin İtalya’nın Kapri Adası’ndaki evi, modern mimarlığın ikonik yapılarından biri olarak kabul edilir. Tasarım dilinin yer, topoğrafya, manzara, atmosfer, malzeme gibi kriterler üzerinden şekillendiği yapı, yarattığı imgesel zenginlik ve duyusal mekânsallık bakımından karakteristik bir nitelik taşır. Anıtsal kimliği ve dramatik mekân kurgusunun yanı sıra, yazar Malaparte'nin yapıyı kendisi ile bağdaştırması, yapının anlamını derinleştiren bir diğer önemli bir ayrıntıdır. Villa Malaparte’nin bu özgün mekânsal diyalektiği ve deneyime açık tasarım kurgusu çalışma çerçevesinde dikkat çekici bulunmuş, bu bağlamda, algı anlam ilişkileri üzerinden yapıya dair bir mekânsal okuma yapılması amaçlanmıştır.

Authors: Gafurov Sh.B.
Published: May 2024

The results of the survey of 193 neuro-oncological patients with epileptic seizures are showed. The control group consisted of 97 patients with brain tumors without the development of epileptic seizures. It is found that in patients with the development of epileptic seizures as a first symptom of cerebral tumors predominated simple partial seizures. Early seizures occurred more frequently in lesions of the left hemisphere of the brain with the formation of focal abnormal EEG activity in the same hemisphere of the brain. Convulsive disorder prevailed in the localization of intracerebral tumors with caudal direction of its growth.

Published: May 2024

In this paper, an innovative method for energy recovery and management of the electronically controlled suspension system is proposed and simulated using MATLAB/Simulink, with the aim of enhancing energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. This method employs an integrated control approach based on force-position for tillage depth control. When the tractor suspension is positioned above the soil surface and descending, the PMSM switches to generator mode and uses the PMSM for energy recovery. The simulation results demonstrate the viability of energy recovery in heavy agricultural machinery, offering novel ideas and techniques for effective energy management in such equipment.
Multi-objective Optimization Design of Six-phase U-shaped Permanent Magnet Linear Vernier Motor
Authors: Jin Yugang , Xu Xiaozhuo
Published: May 2024

For the cordless hoisting system, a six-phase U-shaped permanent magnet linear vernier motor (SU-PMLVM) is proposed. The primary of the motor adopts a U-shaped segmented permanent magnet array, which is characterized by a high magnetization effect and a low magnetic leakage. In order to enhance the comprehensive performance of SU-PMLVM, the average thrust, thrust fluctuation, and no-load counter potential harmonic distortion rate are selected as optimization objectives. Taguchi's method is employed to expeditiously optimize SU-PMLVM in a multi-objective manner. Firstly, the optimization variables with the greatest influence on the objectives and the values of their factor levels are selected. Then, the designed orthogonal experiments are solved by using the finite element method, and the performance data of each optimization objective under different combinations of factor levels are obtained. Finally, the influence weights of the optimization variables in each optimization objective are clarified through the analysis of variance, and the optimal level combinations of the optimization variables are thus obtained. A comparison of the performance of the objectives before and after optimization indicates that the average thrust of the proposed motor has increased by 1.77%, the thrust fluctuation has been reduced by 40.06%, and the no-load reverse potential harmonic distortion rate has been reduced by 15.23%.
Immunologically Mediated Mechanisms in Renal Disease
Authors: Zhang Yang
Published: May 2024

The immunologically mediated mechanisms within renal diseases represent a complex biological process. This study primarily focuses on analyzing the roles and mechanisms of immune cells, specifically macrophages, T cells, and B cells, in renal pathology. Utilizing a meticulous approach that combines bioinformatics analysis with in vitro experiments, this paper reveals the critical role of m6A RNA methylation modifications in regulating immune cell functions, promoting apoptosis, and inflammatory responses. The results suggest that the interactions among immune cells and their impact on renal health are of significant biological importance, and that the regulation of m6A methylation modifications presents new potential targets for renal disease treatment. However, as the study relies on in vitro experiment results, the findings necessitate further validation through additional animal experiments and clinical trials. Future research should delve deeper into the specific roles and interactions of different immune cells in various renal diseases to develop more effective treatment strategies.

Pregnancy is an important period for the formation of the quality of future human resources because growth and development are determined when the fetus is in the womb. The aim of the research is to find and create a clear framework for thinking from what has been formulated in the literature review problem. Secondary data sources obtained in the form of articles or journals that are relevant to the topic are carried out using databases via Google Scholar, PubMed and Research Gate. A literature search was carried out using the keywords "factors that influence" AND "chronic energy deficiency" AND "pregnant woman". Based on a search using keywords via the Google Scholar database, 61,000 related articles were identified in journals, 69 articles from Research Gate and 52 articles from Public Med Central (PMC). The literature was screened according to the inclusion criteria and found 5 articles that would be reviewed. There are several factors associated with chronic energy deficiency (CED) during pregnancy. Factors associated with chronic energy deficiency (CED) in pregnancy include nutritional intake factors, age factors, pregnancy spacing, economic status, social and family support, education and knowledge factors, and disease or infection factors.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui dan menganalisis implementasi kebijakan pengelolaan wilayah pertambangan rakyat di kelurahan Poboya, Kecamatan Mantikulore, Kota Palu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pada faktor standar dan tujuan kebijakan, alokasi sumber daya, karakteristik organisasi yang melaksanakan kebijakan, sikap dan disposisi para pelaksana, serta kondisi sosial, ekonomi, dan politik dalam lingkungan tersebut belum berjalan optimal. Namun pada faktor komunikasi antar organisasi terkait dan aktivitas pelaksanaan sudah berjalan dengan baik. Hal itu dapat dilihat dari implementasi kebijakan tersebut masih kurang efektif karena kurangnya sosialisasi kepada masyarakat pemilik lahan dan pekerja tambang emas tradisional, keterlibatan masyarakat lokal dalam proses keputusan terkait penentuan wilayah pertambangan rakyat masih sangat rendah, pemerintah dianggap belum mampu melindungi hak-hak masyarakat terutama pemilik lahan untuk dapat mengelola wilayah pertambangan rakyat karena masih berbenturan dengan izin pertambangan rakyat dan kepentingan perusahaan PT.CPM, sikap pelaksana kebijakan komitmen yang rendah, kondisi sosial, ekonomi, politik menunjukkan sangat signifikan mempengaruhi implementasi kebijakan pertambangan rakyat di wilayah Poboya karena memiliki dampak yang kompleks. Namun demikian upaya dialog terbuka dan partisipasi aktif masyarakat serta upaya memperjelas pemahaman dan menyamakan persepsi dapat dicapai kesepakatan yang menguntungkan semua pihak.
Transgender Discrimination in the Binary Gender Paradigm: An Analysis of Exclusionary Practices in Healthcare
Authors: Ali Khan Waqas , Abbas Qaisar
Published: May 2024

This research focuses on the widespread discrimination against transgender individuals within the healthcare industry resulting from a deeply rooted binary gender system. It seeks to gauge how much they are discriminated against, identify particular forms of discrimination by medical practitioners, and evaluate healthcare providers' understanding gaps about transgender health needs. The investigation assumes that in healthcare facilities, transgender people receive substantial discrimination treatment; doctors carry out discriminatory actions as well as health facilitators or hospital administration know little about what is required for the wellbeing of such patients. The quantitative study involved 344 transgender individuals from 36 districts of Punjab. To find out the rates and types of discrimination as well as knowledge gaps among the data was subjected to chi-square tests, one-way ANOVA, and regression analysis. Results of chi-square tests revealed a significant relation between transgender identity and multiple discriminations such as postponements in treatment (χ² = 43.62, p < 0.001), denial of care (χ² = 67.21, p < 0.001), as well as financial discrimination (χ² = 138.23, p < 0.001). This research adds to existing knowledge about transgender health by showing how these individuals are discriminated against regularly and why educational as well as policy reforms in medical facilities should be implemented as a matter of urgency.
