Аdministrative responsibility in the field of town planning
Authors: Rudanetska O. , Berezhnytska H.
Published: March 2024

The article is devoted to issues of administrative liability for offenses in the field of urban planning. The article draws attention to the shortcomings of the current legislation on administrative offenses and proposes measures to eliminate them. It is noted that urban planning activity is precisely the complex activity of state bodies and citizens for the formation and further development of common interests, territories, spaces, which involves a sequence of stages and is based on a close well- founded relationship and interdependence on socio-economic forecasting conditions. After all, the presence of such interconnection and interdependence is the main feature of urban planning legislation, which occupies a special place in the system of administrative law. Administrative liability in the field of construction arises in case of violation of the requirements of administrative legislation and urban planning. Therefore, the subjects of administrative offenses in the field of construction are social relations regulated by both administrative and urban planning law. This classification of administrative offenses by the subject of the offense is correct, as it allows to identify the signs of this element in the composition of the offense and to resolve the issue of the application of certain norms to the relevant social relations.

Administrative responsibility for violations of legislation in the field of urban planning activities with a land and environmental component is only a small part of the total volume of «urban planning» components of the Administrative Code of Administrative Offenses. In view of this, it is important to point out the inter-branch nature of the relations of administrative responsibility for violations of the legislation on urban planning activities.

Summarizing the results, the author concludes that an administrative offense in the field of urban planning is an illegal, culpable act (inaction) of a natural or legal person that violates the requirements of project documentation and normative documents in the field of construction, as well as the established order of construction, reconstruction, capital repair of objects of capital construction, putting it into operation, for which administrative responsibility is established by current legislation.

Published: March 2024

The COVID-19 virus infection some time ago caused a pandemic and became a health problem in the world, including Indonesia. The cause of COVID-19 infection is the SARS-CoV-2 virus which can be detected by Real Time reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR). Platelets play a role in inflammation and the pathogenesis of various inflammatory clinical conditions which are also affected by COVID-19 infection, which can change according to the severity of the infection. The purpose of this study was to analyze differences in MPV and PDW in the severity of COVID-19 patients. This type of research is an analytic observational study with a cross sectional research design. Data on platelet index values and the degree of severity were obtained from medical records during the period June to August 2021 from 209 COVID-19 patients treated at RSUD Dr. H. Abdul Moeloek Lampung Province. Statistical tests were carried out using the Kruskal Wallis Annova test, followed by the Mann Whitney test. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the PDW index (p = 0.004) to the degree of severity of COVID-19, while the MPV index was not significantly different to the degree of severity of COVID-19. Excessive production of cytokines and acute phase reactants due to immune response and inflammation for COVID-19 infection, thereby affecting the development of megakaryocytes resulting in changes in the PDW Platelet index, the pathogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 infection is very complex and it is possible that the early stages of the disease do not affect all parameters hematology.

Published: March 2024

This study aimed to analyse the effect of anthropogenic activities on the spatial distribution of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphate (TP) in Lake Maninjau, Indonesia, during the dry season. Sampling was carried out at ten observation locations representative for various activities around the lake. Cluster analysis and ANOVA were used to classify pollutant sources and observe differences between TN and TP at each site. Concentrations of TN and TP are categorised as oligotrophic-eutrophic. The ANOVA showed spatially that some sampling locations, such as the Tanjung Sani River, floating net cages, and hydropower areas have different TN concentrations. At the same time, TP levels were consistently significantly different across sampling sites. ANOVA and cluster analysis confirmed that floating net cages were the first cluster and the primary contributor to TN and TP. The second and third clusters come from anthropogenic activities around the lake, such as agriculture, settlement, and livestock. The fourth cluster with the lowest TN and TP is the river that receives the anthropogenic activity load but has a high flow velocity. The cluster change analysis needs to be conducted when there are future changes in the composition of floating net cages, agriculture, and settlements.

OBJECTIVE

To describe the prevalence of elbow dysplasia (ED) in 13 dog breeds in France.

ANIMALS

A total of 18,870 elbow radiographs taken from 2002 to 2022 were evaluated by 2 independent examiners.

METHODS

For each breed, the incidence of each of the 4 International Elbow Working Group scoring classes was extracted from the database. Breeds were excluded if fewer than 150 radiographs had been read for that breed.

RESULTS

This study included 17,861 records for 13 dog breeds: American Akita, Alaskan Malamute, Old German Shepherd (Altdeutscher Schäferhund), American Staffordshire Terrier, Australian Shepherd, Belgian Shepherd, White Swiss Shepherd, Bernese Mountain Dog, Cane Corso, Czechoslovakian Wolfdog, Rhodesian Ridgeback, Rottweiler, and Dogue de Bordeaux. The overall prevalence of ED was 11.4%, ranging from 1.1% in the Czechoslovakian Wolfdog to 32.2% in the Dogue de Bordeaux. The Dogue de Bordeaux, Rottweiler, Bernese Mountain Dog, and Cane Corso breeds were most commonly affected by ED. The prevalence of ED was significantly higher in male dogs than in female dogs (17.5% vs 10.5%, P < .05). Joint incongruity and fragmented coronoid process were the 2 most common primary ED lesions identified. The prevalence of ED among the dogs evaluated decreased over the timeframe of the study.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

The results of this study help to clarify the prevalence of ED in different breeds in France. These data should be interpreted with caution as this study included a small percentage of the total number of dogs born for each breed in France over the study period.
Association of mesenteric volvulus in police working dogs with and without a prior prophylactic laparoscopic gastropexy
Authors: Fruehwald Christina M. , Spector Daniel I. , Daniel Todd E.
Published: March 2024

OBJECTIVE

To evaluate the association of mesenteric volvulus (MV) in New York Police Department police working dogs (PWDs) with and without a prior prophylactic laparoscopic gastropexy (PLG).

ANIMALS

370 PWDs (82 with and 288 without PLG).

METHODS

Medical records and surgery and radiology reports were reviewed from 2012 to 2022. Signalment, pertinent history (medical and surgical), gastropexy status, temperament, and training type were recorded. Statistical analysis was used to identify the relationship between prophylactic gastropexy and MV within the patient population.

RESULTS

3 cases of mesenteric volvulus were noted in this patient population. Two (2.4%) of the 82 PWDs that had undergone prophylactic laparoscopic gastropexy developed MV, whereas 1 (0.3%) of the 288 PWDs that had not undergone a gastropexy procedure developed MV. Police working dogs with PLG were estimated to be at 7.2 times greater odds of MV (point estimate OR, 7.18; 95% CI, 0.642 to 80.143); however, the low incidence of MV in this population limited statistical power, and thus this effect did not achieve statistical significance. Evaluation of MV incidence in additional populations of working dogs will allow greater precision in the point estimate.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Prophylactic gastropexy may be associated with an increased risk for MV. However, patients without prophylactic gastropexy are at risk for gastric dilatation and volvulus, which is more common than MV. Therefore, the authors continue to recommend prophylactic gastropexy to decrease the risk for gastric dilatation and volvulus.

Published: March 2024

This study was aimed at evaluation of two diagnostic techniques and the cultural isolation of Staphylococcus aureus for the testing of subclinical mastitis in lactating cows. A total of 144 milk samples from 36 cows were examined. Ten (10) ml milk samples were aseptically collected from each quarter into labelled sterile universal bottles. The California Mastitis Test (CMT) and the Methylene Blue Reduction Test (MBRT) were carried out on each sample, before cultural isolation (gold standard test) was conducted. Forty eight milk samples were CMT-positive and 60 samples were MBRT-positive, while the gold standard (S. aureus isolation) had 31 positives. The 89.5 % samples of CMT-positive were correctly identified by the test culture. The proportions of samples that tested negative for Subclinical Mastitis (SCM) that did not have the disease, which is a negative predictive value, are 97.9 % and 92.9 % for CMT and MBRT, respectively. The highest total resistance of S. aureus to antibiotics was detected for gentamycin and chloramphenicol (100 %), followed by streptomycin and amoxicillin at 80.6 % and 74.1 %, respectively. The control and monitoring of subclinical mastitis in lactating cows are of great importance to human health. A good management system constitutes the priority in controlling subclinical mastitis in lactating cows.

Toxoplasma gondii is a single-cell parasite capable of infecting almost all homeotherms posing a grave public health risk globally. There is limited available literature on the T. gondii strains circulating in bird species in the Plateau State, of Nigeria. Consequently, this study was carried out to identify and confirm T. gondii infection and also determine the relationship of the DNA sequences with those of bird species in other parts of the world. To achieve this, brain and heart tissues of 25 bird species were sampled and a nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) and sequence analyses of the B1 gene were carried out. The DNA of T. gondii was identified in the heart and brain tissues of 7/7 (100.0 %) of wild bird species, and 15/18 (83.3 %) of domestic local chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) sampled. The evolutionary relationship among the T. gondii sequences in this study using phylogenetic tree constructed by maximum likelihood method showed the sequences shared a common ancestor with the Type I RH strain (GenBank: AF179871). The T. gondii sequences were in a cluster distinct from other sequences in the GenBank. Calculations of genetic differentiation and genetic diversity indices undertaken and collated revealed three haplotypes with higher haplotype diversity within the T. gondii sequences obtained from wild birds (0.667) compared with the sequences from local chickens (0.333). A 97–100 % homology among the aligned sequences of T. gondii in the study shows that only one strain type exists in all of the samples. This study has established the occurrence of T. gondii infection in asymptomatic bird species in the study area and portrays them as carriers, and potential sources of human infection.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, kırmızı ve beyaz LED ışığın yumurtacı tavukların eşeysel olgunluğu, performansı, yumurta kalitesi ve bazı davranış özellikleri üzerindeki etkisini belirlemektir. On altı haftalık toplam 432 kahverengi yumurtacı yarka (Lohmann) rastgele her biri 12 tekerrürlü 2 uygulama grubuna ayrılmıştır. Uygulama grupları 1) Monokromatik kırmızı LED aydınlatma ve 2) Beyaz LED aydınlatma gruplarından oluşturulmuştur. Kanatlılar, deneme süresince (16-32 hafta) zenginleştirilmiş kafeslerde barındırılmıştır. Tavukların monokromatik kırmızı ışıkta beyaz ışığa göre eşeysel olgunluğa 5 gün ve pik yumurta verimine 4 gün daha erken ulaştıkları ve deneme boyunca % 2,05 daha fazla yumurta ürettikleri belirlenmiştir. Aynı dönemde ışık renginin yem tüketimine ve yemden yararlanma oranına (YYO) etkisi önemli bulunmamıştır. Ancak, yumurta veriminin yüksek olduğu 21, 23-26 ve 29. haftalarda tavukların kırmızı ışıkta daha iyi YYO değerlerine sahip oldukları görülmüştür. Yumurta ağırlığı ve yumurta kitlesi kırmızı ışıkta daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Işık rengi, tavukların yumurta kalite özellikleri, tünek ve folluk kullanımı ve kırık yumurta oranı üzerinde önemli bir etkide bulunmamıştır. Sonuç olarak, büyüme döneminin sonunda başlayan monokromatik kırmızı LED ışık uygulaması kanatlıların daha erken eşeysel olgunluğa ulaşmalarını ve yumurtlama döneminde daha fazla yumurta üretmelerini sağlamıştır.

Authors: Faisal Hafeez  , Zobia Suhail  , Reyer Zwiggelaar
Published: March 2024

Brain tumor detection is a complex problem in medical image analysis. Brain tumor is an abnormal growth of brain cellsthat is usually detected by Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI). In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm for detecting brain tumors using MRI without skull removal. After applying basic image preprocessing techniques, morphological operations are used to detect the boundaries and sharpen the regions.Segmentation is performed using Otsu thresholding and then a marker watershed technique is used for final brain tumor segmentation. The proposed approach is evaluated on 3000 images from Brain Tumor Image Segmentation Challenge (BRATS) dataset. Experiments showed that with appropriate preprocessing and appropriate thresholding, good segmentation results can be achieved.

Authors: Kinh Bac Dang
Published: March 2024

The identification and monitoring of coastline and shoreline plays an important role in coastal erosion assessment. The deep learning models can be a potential tool to detect the coastlines and shorelines in Vietnam using ultra-high resolution satellite images. The aims of the study are: i) To propose a set of indicators to determine the coastlines and shoreline; ii) To build deep machine learning models that automatically interpret the coastlines and shorelines on ultra-high resolution remote sensing images; and iii) To apply developed deep learning (DL) models to monitor coastal erosion in central Vietnam. Eight DL models were implemented based on four artificial intelligence network structures, including U-Net, U2-Net, U-Net3+, and DexiNed. Satellite images collected through Google Earth Pro software were used as input for all models. As a result, the U-Net model has been effectively applied to coasts in Cu De, Lai Giang, and Bien Lo estuaries,. The output results were used to calculate the rate of erosion/accretion in these areas. Additionally, the study indicated that coastline is a suitable criterion in assessing coastal erosion under the impact of sea level rise during storms. On the other hand, shoreline is a suitable criterion in assessing tidal fluctuations or instantaneous movements of wave currents during the year.

Tacrolimus, a calcineurin inhibitor, is a first-choice drug for the anti-rejection treatment regimen after kidney transplantation. The daily adjusted Tacrolimus dose by therapeutic drug monitoring is essential for patients to achieve optimal effects and minimize complications. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 70 kidney transplant patients at Bach Mai Hospital from January 2019 to the end of June 2020 to monitor changes in the blood trough level of Tacrolimus over time and analyze some risk factors affecting the blood trough level of Tacrolimus after a kidney transplant. Total whole-blood samples were collected at 6 time points: pre-transplant, on transplant day, and the 1st, 2nd, 4th, and 8th day after surgery. During the study, we recorded 4 cases with accelerated acute rejection with the blood trough level of Tacrolimus on the first day after transplantation of 5.325 ± 1.531 ng/mL and lower than the medium level in the remaining group of patients 10.371 ± 4.550 ng/mL at the same time (p = 0.031). There was no significant difference between the two groups of patients in age, gender, BMI, chronic disease status (hypertension, hepatitis C, type 2 diabetes), pre-transplant blood urea, and serum creatinine concentrations. These characteristics were included in the linear regression models which affected the blood trough level of Tacrolimus. This showed that none of the above risk factors had a significant effect on the blood trough level of Tacrolimus on the first day after transplantation (p > 0.05).

Published: March 2024

Published research showed that mango seeds have good anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. The purpose of this study is to develop a microemulsion formula containing mango seed extract for application in the treatment of inflammatory acne. Isopropyl myristate and coconut oil were selected as the fixed oil phase components. Phase diagrams for the microemulsion regions were constructed using PEG 40 hydrogenated castor oil as surfactant and PEG 400 as co-solvent. Microemulsions were prepared by titration and mixed with mango seed extract. Microemulsions and the physical and chemical stability of the microemulsion were evaluated for droplet size and PDi index using dynamic light scattering techniques. The microemulsion was gelled and evaluated for its anti-inflammatory effect by comparing it with an acne cream on the market. The selected microemulsion formula has a ratio of isopropyl myristate oil to coconut oil of 1:2, Smix/Co is PEG 40 hydrogenated castor oil to PEG 400 with a ratio of 3:1, and a high loading efficiency of 5% mango seed. The average particle size of the microemulsion reached 22.74 nm. The selected microemulsion showed good stability, with almost no change in particle size when stored at room temperature after 30 days. The microemulsion was gelled with 7% carbopol, and the permeability of polyphenols from the microemulsion gel within 6 hours was observed to be about 59.61%. The microemulsion gel inhibited the denaturation of bovine serum albumin, indicating that the microemulsion containing coconut oil and mango extract may help in treating inflammatory acne. Microemulsion gel containing mango seed kernel has been successfully studied, has anti-inflammatory activity equivalent to a modern control drug, and is promising as a natural preparation that can provide anti-inflammatory protection on acne skin. However, further clinical studies need to be conducted before use.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) is a common hematological malignancy that develops in the lymphatic system. A20, CYLD, IFN-γ, JAK2, PI3KCA, and TP53 are known as inflammation-related genes in autoimmune diseases and cancers. In the end, 126 patients with NHL and 109 healthy individuals with well-characterized clinical profiles were enrolled. Twelve variants in the above genes were determined by the Kompetitive allele-specific PCR (KASP) assay. As a result, among genotyped 12 SNPs, the AG genotype of the rs280500 in the TYK2 gene showed significantly higher frequency in the patient group compared to healthy individuals (P=0.05). In addition, no significant differences in genotype frequencies of the other SNPs were found between the two groups. In conclusion, the rs280500 in the TYK2 gene was the risk variant for NHL susceptibility and additionally contributed to understanding the genetic basis of NHL.

Canna x generalis L.H Bailey & E.Z Bailey (CG) has been used as folk medicine to treat different diseases. However, scientific information about the pharmacological effects and chemical composition of this plant is still very limited. This study aims to evaluate for the first time the α-amylase and α-glucosidase inhibitory activity of CG rhizome extracts. The rhizome part of CG was extracted with ethanol and then fractionated with n-hexane, ethyl acetate, and water. The total extract and fractions were evaluated for their inhibitory effects on α-amylase and α-glucosidase enzymes in vitro. The results showed that the ethyl acetate fraction had the strongest inhibitory activity against α-amylase and α-glucosidase with IC50 values of 53.19 ± 2.79 and 95.83 ± 6.26 µg/mL, respectively. Therefore, the rhizome part of the CG plant, especially the ethyl acetate fraction, is a potential natural source for searching for active ingredients to prevent and treat diabetes.

Technological advancements, particularly in telecommunications, are accelerating. The speed of which data is sent and received is a critical demand in the rapidly expanding telecommunications sector. Fifth - generation (5G) technology necessitates the use of antenna that can effectively send and receive data. This study examines the design and realization of a microstrip antenna that operates at 3.5 GHz utilizing Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG). The usage of an EBG can optimize antenna quality and dimensions. Based on the simulation results, the original antenna without EBG obtained S11 of -30.76 dB with a Gain of 2.653 dBi at 3.5 GHz. By adding the EBG structure with 4 x 4 configuration, the simulation results show a better S11 of -40.021dB and a higher Gain of 4.229 dBi, at a distance of 5 mm between the antenna and the EBG structure. For the measurement results, this antenna obtained S11 of -33.088 dB with a Gain of 4.3 dBi. In addition, there is a change in the radiation pattern between the Regular Antenna and the Antenna with EBG. In the antenna radiation pattern with EBG the current direction is reflected in phase and result in constructive reflection. Based on the parameters obtained from measurements and simulations, the antenna has achieved the target specification and can be used at a frequency of 3.5 GHz.

This research aims to enhance control systems for Brushless DC (BLDC) motors by introducing Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control as a straightforward yet reliable solution, known for its precision, quick responsiveness, and stability. Emphasizing its suitability for BLDC motor speed control, the study addresses PID controller windup challenges, highlighting anti-windup techniques crucial for maintaining system stability. The primary focus is on improving the performance of an anti-windup PID controller for BLDC motor speed control in electric vehicles. Through simulations and analyses, the research aims to minimize steady-state error and overshooting, contributing to overall operational efficiency. Practical implementation involves optimizing the PID anti-windup controller's gain using the MATLAB PID Tuner and implementing it in the Arduino IDE. Experimental tests, which cover constant and varying step function scenarios, are conducted on the designed hardware. Results show the PID anti-windup controller's superiority, exhibiting significantly lower overshoot values of 5.42% and 3.35% compared to 13.26% and 23.76%, respectively. Despite its higher control action, the traditional PID controller displays a more pronounced overshoot.

A vehicle accident report system was designed to detect accidents accurately and send message to related person. However, after accident, some components or modules can be damaged and it may cause failure of accident detection. Therefore, Triple Modular Redundancy (TMR) method was implemented in the system to mask faults within the modules and ensure the system to continue working. TMR is one of passive hardware redundancy methods. The system includes three MPU-6050 sensors functioning as vehicle tilt sensors to provide hardware redundancy, a TC9548A module serving as an I2C multiplexer, an Arduino Nano acting as a microcontroller and voter, and a NodeMCU ESP8266 responsible for transmitting message. Based on experiment results, the TMR system has a reliability value of 0.9928, a failure rate value of 0.0004/cycle, and accuracy of 3 sensor value of 85%. While, the non-redundancy system has a reliability value of 0.9286, a failure rate value of 0.0053/cycle, and accuracy of single sensor value of 57%. The results of the system process were sent to and displayed via an e-mail. It can be concluded that the TMR system has better performance than the non-redundancy one.
