Unknown pages of the state of sheba history in the context of modern and biblical archaeology
Authors: Fedyaev A. , Valeev R. , Fedyaeva R.
Published: July 2021

In the Sheba state, 2 thousand years before the emergence of Islam, there was a monotheistic doctrine unknown to science, whose supporters were called the first Arabian prophets (hanifas) and actually equated with Muslims. This conclusion was obtained using the modern methodology of cognition — fractal approach, hermeneutics methods, logic-semantic analysis, abdication, etc. The results of the study showed, that at the end of the 15th century ВС the Egyptian religion of the Sun ('Monism) was perceived in the Sheba state, where King Yataamar ruled, and became the spiritual basis of this 157 civilization. After the conflict with the state of Israel (loth century ВС), the Queen of Sheba was forced to recognize the power of King Solomon and his religion. During the revival of this state in the VIII century ВС, Atonism was again declared the official religion until the V century ВС. This religious doctrine, which arose during the reign of Pharaoh Akhenaten (1436—1402 ВС), did not disappear shortly after his death (according to modern Egyptologists), and today is represented in the beliefs of the Mandei community (southern Iraq) and their scripture by Jinze.
Astronomical Observatories related to the World Heritage List
Authors: Cotte M.
Published: July 2021

The article examines the existing relationship between two important concepts, but which are different a priori. First is the heritage of astronomy, generally associated with modern European science and its development through the construction of aseries of famous observatories with large fixedinstruments, all along lgth - 20th centuries. Second is the successful implementation  of the World Heritage convention  from around 50 years, with its famous List of heritage sites, monuments, ancient cities and landscapes.

The article shows the relatively limited number, but already notable, of places nowadays registered on the World Heritage List or even sometime places aiming to be nominated for next years. Additional questions raise, asked by a partnership between Astronomy and World Heritage List; e.g.: the existing astronomical heritage from ancient civilizaions or indigenous societies; astronomy as associated value of broader nominations including classical heritage as palaces, monuments, historical cities and etc. In conclusion, we shortly examine the perspectives of the joint field of Astronomy and World Heritage.

What Does Our Body Tell Us in Therapy?
Authors: Remmers Arno
Published: July 2021

Verbal interaction seems to be the main instrument of treatment. In this article the the unconscious language of the body interaction will be looked at, as it seems to be not only an important transmitter of an emotional therapeutic atmosphere, but also valid to find out the conflict contents, relation pattern, and helps to work with structural problems. Results about early parent-child interaction show like a mirror the specific needs of a successful therapy relation especially in personality disorder treatment. Counter transference is based mainly on the awareness for the own body reactions and feelings, mirroring the unconscious themes of the client. To look as a therapist how the own body reacts with specific impulses, feelings and emotions can help to discover the associated psychodynamic terms of conflict contents and structural needs. The interpretation of the own body sensations can be helpful in the application of positive and psychodynamic therapies as well as in cognitive approaches to see the body interaction like an instrument to understand the hidden agenda.

Ante una situación tan delicada como la provocada por la pandemia, surge la necesidad de poner en marcha recursos que ayuden a minimizar los sentimientos y emociones negativas. Por ello nace «El Heraldo Confinado, un periódico formado por muchos redactores escolares para provocar sonrisas, sonrisas que ayudaran a calmar las mentes, sonrisas con las que evadirnos de la situación que nos envolvía, y también conseguir mantenernos unidos a familias, profesionales y alumnos. Porque no solo era importante que el alumnado no perdiese las relaciones entre ellos, también nosotros necesitábamos sentirnos cerca. Para ello, teníamos un único requisito: solo publicaríamos noticias positivas».

Adaptación de actividades dirigidas al alumnado con discapacidad visual de primaria mediante la herramienta Scratch en un contexto de confinamiento
Authors: Molina Riazuelo A. G. , González Martín E.
Published: July 2021

La experiencia educativa presentada en este documento nace durante el confinamiento provocado por la enfermedad covid-19 en el curso 2019-2020, y en respuesta a la necesidad de adaptar aquellos ejercicios que los maestros de las aulas proponían para que sus alumnos los realizaran de manera telemática y que, en muchos casos, no resultaban accesibles para el alumnado con discapacidad visual. Para suplir esta carencia, y después de revisar la tipología de las actividades propuestas, se diseñó una batería de «actividades tipo» con el programa Scratch, basada tanto en los contenidos curriculares impartidos por los docentes a distancia, como en las necesidades particulares de los alumnos. Ha sido a partir de este grupo de «actividades tipo», y aprovechando la posibilidad que ofrece Scratch de reutilizar bloques de programación, como se fueron adaptando y programando las diferentes actividades. Tras la puesta en práctica y posterior reflexión sobre dichas actividades con las partes implicadas, se determinó que esta ha sido y es una metodología apropiada en el proceso de generar contenidos educativos accesibles, por lo que se seguirá utilizando para la adaptación de otras actividades en el futuro.
Educación para la salud: una experiencia para implementar el uso de la mascarilla en el alumnado con discapacidad visual
Authors: Rodríguez Mena N. , Campos Rodríguez B.
Published: July 2021

La sociedad actual es la sociedad de la imagen. Durante la pandemia, de continuo a los niños y niñas en los hogares, a través de la gran pantalla, se les ofrece como patrón o modelo personas que llevan mascarilla, y es así como su uso se convierte en algo cotidiano. Ante una discapacidad visual, el mensaje que les llega resulta sesgado, pobre, distorsionado e incluso nulo. Las oportunidades de aprendizaje se ven así limitadas, de ahí la necesidad de considerar importante incentivar este hecho nuevo e impactante para todos desde el binomio familia-docente. Tratar de normalizar e instaurar el uso de la mascarilla como práctica habitual en el día a día entre la población más joven pasa a ser una tarea fundamental con un marcado carácter educativo. El personal docente del Equipo Específico de Atención al Alumnado con Discapacidad Visual de Málaga, conscientes de esto, pasan a incorporar este aspecto en el Plan Educativo y a trabajar con el alumnado desde el área de autonomía: educación para la salud. A continuación, se expondrá la experiencia de trabajo desarrollada y que debe ser entendida partiendo del contexto espacio-temporal en el que se generó.

Actividad física adaptada online durante el confinamiento
Authors: Quirós González D.
Published: July 2021

En el momento en el que se decretó el estado de alarma (14 de marzo de 2020), se consideró fundamental que el alumnado del Centro de Recursos Educativos de la ONCE en Alicante continuara realizando actividad física y siguieran manteniendo el contacto entre ellos. Por este motivo, surgió la idea de realizar clases deportivas adaptadas por medio de videollamadas, a través de la aplicación Zoom, todos los sábados, durante alrededor de una hora. La primera semana se conectaron unos 10 niños y niñas de la provincia de Alicante y la siguiente se amplió a todo nuestro ámbito de intervención (Comunidad Valenciana y Región de Murcia). Como resultado del éxito que tuvo esta actividad, se decidió promocionarla a todos los jóvenes del país. Se han sumado más de 40 alumnos en alguna de estas actividades, y en el grupo de WhatsApp que se creó para organizar esta actividad había más de 80 participantes. Además de alumnos, muchos familiares de los participantes y otros profesionales de la ONCE también se animaron a participar en esta iniciativa. En las últimas cinco sesiones se añadió un pequeño espacio al término de cada actividad: diferentes deportistas de élite de la ONCE, como Iván Cano (saltador paralímpico de longitud), Mónica Merenciano (judoca paralímpica), Pablo Cantero (jugador de la selección española de fútbol para ciegos) o Esther Ávila (capitana de la selección española de goalball), compartieron con los más pequeños sus experiencias y logros deportivos. Además, contestaron amablemente a las preguntas que les hicieron y les animaron a practicar cada uno de sus deportes una vez terminase esa situación de confinamiento.

Governing the European Intelligence: Multilateral Intelligence Cooperation in the European Union
Authors: ATEŞ Ahmet , ERKAN Anıl
Published: July 2021

Since intelligence is an essential part of national security, a high volume of cooperation in this area is not expected. An assessment of the literature shows that there are several obstacles to intelligence cooperation. More precisely, states are reluctant to involve in intelligence cooperation because of trust factors and other factors such as bureaucratic culture and resistance, regime type, lack of normative motivation and shared identities. Even if they are compelled to cooperate, they prefer bilateral intelligence cooperation. However, due to the globalization of national security threats in the last two decades, intelligence organizations are currently obliged to cooperate multilaterally even though they do not prefer to do so. Multilateral intelligence cooperation within the European Union is a unique example of relatively successful multilateral intelligence cooperation. On the one hand, official European intelligence agencies INTCEN and Europol provide the legal framework of intelligence cooperation among the Union. On the other hand, informal channels such as the Club of Berne are also proven useful for the EU’s intelligence cooperation. We argue that the relative success of European intelligence cooperation derives from at least three factors. These are institutionalized demand for intelligence governance, the delegated authority of the members of the EU’s (epistemic) intelligence community, and its ability to set the national security agenda of the EU.
Amerikan Hegemonyasının Son Dönemlerdeki Seyri ve Çin’in Yükselişi
Authors: DİNÇ Cengiz , YURDABAK Onur
Published: July 2021

Uluslararası ilişkilerde güncel konulardan birisi, Amerika Birleşik Devletleri (ABD)’nin hegemonik konumudur. Sovyetler Birliği (SSCB)’nin dağılmasının ardından iki kutuplu uluslararası sistemin ABD’nin hakim olduğu tek kutuplu sisteme dönüşmesi sonrasında, 90’lı yıllardan itibaren ABD hegemonyasının sürdürülebilirliği önemli bir tartışma konusu olmuştur. Çin’in özellikle 21. yüzyıl itibarıyla, Soğuk Savaş sonrasında oluşturulan Pax Americana’nın kurumları ve kurallarına rızayı seçmek yerine belirli konularda kendi çıkarları adına hareket ederek kendi uluslararası sistemini kurmaya çalıştığı bilinmektedir. Dış politikasını büyük ölçüde küresel hegemonyasını devam ettirmek üzerine kuran ABD ise geçmiş dönemlerde SSCB ile yaşadığı rekabetin bir benzerini günümüzde Çin’le yaşamaktadır. Her ne kadar 21. yüzyılda yaşanılan güç dönüşümüyle ABD’nin gücü göreli olarak azalırken, Çin’inki artmaktaysa da, ABD’nin ekonomik, askeri ve teknolojik üstünlükleri nedeniyle küresel hegemonyasına son vermenin çok uzun zaman alacağı görüşü, günümüzde politika yapıcılar ve uluslararası ilişkiler akademisyenleri arasında yaygındır. Bununla birlikte, Çin’in yükselişi, önümüzdeki yıllarda ABD’nin dış politikasının en önemli meselesi olacaktır. Bu çalışmada kapsamlı bir literatür taraması ışığında hegemonyanın sert ve yumuşak güç unsurları ele alınarak ABD ve Çin karşılaştırılması yapılacak olup, hiçbir hegemonik düzenin sonsuza dek sürmeyeceği düşüncesiyle, yaşanılan yapısal değişimlerin Amerikan hegemonyasını nereye taşıyacağı, mevcut ‘güç kayması' ve ABD'nin hegemonik düşüşte olup olmadığına dair görüşler analiz edilecektir.

DETERMINĂRI GEOPOLITICE ALE RUSIEI LA MAREA NEAGRĂ
Authors: DUMITRU Ilie Răsvan
Published: July 2021

În prezentul articol se va analiza proiecția puterii economice și militare a Rusiei în regiunea Mării Negre, văzută atât prin prisma resurselor imense ale acesteia, cât și ca mijloc de proiecție a puterii militare în statele riverane și în Mediterana de Est. Perspectiva energetică este fundamentală în geopolitica Rusiei, iar regiunea Mării Negre este percepută de aceasta ca punct de confluență a mai multor interese globaliste, în care Rusia își dorește să fie nu doar mediator, ci pivotul determinant care să impună politica regională. Crearea unei dependențe energetice a Occidentului față de resursele rusești reprezintă un scop politic bine definit în strategia rusească. Gazele rusești devin astfel un veritabil cal troian prin care Rusia poate influența politicile europene, acest instrument energetic fiind completat și de alte instrumente de forță, menite să submineze sau să diminueze rolul NATO în Europa de Est. Interesele rusești se concentrează, în primul rând, pe dorința de a menține diferite niveluri de influență politică și economică în fiecare stat riveran, de a menține Marea Neagră sub control în privința exporturilor de petrol sau gaze naturale și a altor transporturi maritime prin portul Novorossiysk, precum și pe dorința de a preveni un deficit de securitate față de NATO, care ar putea amenința flancul de sud-vest al Kremlinului. În urmărirea acestor interese, strategia Rusiei se bazează pe utilizarea instrumentelor politice, diplomatice, informaționale și economice, care sunt susținute de o capacitate militară din ce în ce mai credibilă, aspecte care vor fi analizate și explicate în acest articol.
ABORDAREA OPERAȚIONALĂ A FORȚELOR TERESTRE ÎN CONTEXT HIBRID
Authors: TUDORACHE Paul
Published: July 2021

Vizualizând diferitele contexte operaționale ale angajării recente a Forțelor Terestre, nu puține au fost situațiile în care structurile nominalizate s-au confruntat și cu adversari neconvenționali, cu toate că, inițial, natura operației fusese definită ca având o nuanță convențională. Această particularitate se perpetuează tot mai agresiv, determinând structurile convenționale ale Forțelor Terestre să opereze pentru a face față atât forțelor regulate, cât și celor neregulate, chiar și în cadrul aceleiași AO. Pe aceste coordonate, articolul are ca scop identificarea principiilor necesare ajustării abordării operaționale a Forțelor Terestre, astfel încât structurile organice să poată performa în angajarea adversarului din AOs în cadrul operațiilor curente și viitoare. De asemenea, un alt obiectiv subsidiar cercetării de față constă în identificarea mutațiilor la nivelul ACOAs, pe baza cărora se va realiza ajustarea FFCOAs.
OPERATIONAL CONCEPTS APPLICABLE TO AIR SPACE SECURITY IN THE LAND FORCES’ AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE INTEGRATION OF VSHORAD, SHORAD, SAM AIR DEFENCE MISSILE SYSTEMS
Authors: ROMAN Daniel
Published: July 2021

Airspace security is regulated at the level of each state according to the international treaties and conventions, in all possible situations, in times of peace, crisis or war, by integrating all the civilian and military air traffic control systems. The deep concern reaching the level of worry of the specialists in the field of airspace security is the reality of the complex operational environment of the land forces operations. In this context, due to the upgrades in the air space technology and the scale of the air actions at different altitudes, the need for the operational conceptualization of the air defence systems is well justified. For this, we redefined the airspace in the land forces area of responsibility from the perspective of two directions of research. The first direction of research is the threat and the aggression of a hypothetical air enemy, and the second direction of research is the conduct of the air defence response at different altitudes. In order to obtain results, in this article, we have developed several directions of analysis and conceptualization on the possibilities of integrating the VSHORAD, SHORAD, SAM air defence missile systems. Through this scientific approach, we consider to have opened new series of possibilities of planning the air combat and of probabilistic configuration on the notion of event of the air defence response, in a manner which is appropriate to the new challenges arising in the current airspace.

OPERATIONAL APPROACH OF LAND FORCES IN THE HIBRID CONTEXT
Authors: TUDORACHE Paul
Published: July 2021

Visualizing the various operational contexts of recent Land Forces’ employment, there were many situations where the nominated structures also faced unconventional adversaries, even though, initially, the nature of operation had been identified as having a conventional pattern. This particularity is perpetuated more and more aggressively, determining the conventional military structures of the Land Forces to operate in order to face both regular and irregular forces, even within the same AO. Based on these coordinates, the article triggers to identify the principles needed to adjust the operational approach of Land Forces, so that the organic structures can perform in engaging the adversary from AOs within current and future operations. Also, a subsidiary objective of the present research is to identify the mutations at the level of ACOAs based on which the adjustment of FFCOAs will be made.

THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION ENERGY POLICY, AN INSTRUMENT FOR RECONSOLIDATING THE STATUS OF HIGH POWER
Authors: BĂNCILĂ Andi Mihail
Published: July 2021

The disintegration of the USSR in December 1991 marked the end of the Cold War. Many foreign policy analysts were quick to point out that Russian Federation had ceased to be a threat to the Western world. Despite facing a multitude of economic, social and military problems, under the leadership of Vladimir Putin the Russian state managed to be reborn. Russian Federation's miraculous return was made possible by the successful implementation of a policy of economic centralization that overlapped with a period of rising global oil prices. Economic prosperity encouraged the Russian Federation government to return to the old practices of the Soviet period, succeeding in unbalancing the fragile states of Eastern Europe and once again endangering the peace of the entire continent.

A KEY ELEMENT IN ENSURING THE CONTINUITY OF THE MILITARY CENTERS ACTIVITIES, UNDER THE CONSTANT PRESSURE OF CONTAMINATION WITH THE SARS-COV-2 VIRUS
Authors: COTOARBĂ Ionel
Published: July 2021

In the event of a pandemic, the priorities for any commander must be focused on protecting their own personnel, maintaining combat capability and carrying out the missions. The personnel protection measures are implemented in a unitary and gradual conception depending on the pandemic evolution in the area of responsibility. The appearance of increasingly contagious viruses and the promotion of their rapid spread globally through the diversity and complexity of land, air and naval transport, forces us to reconsider our position on the following issues: training and recruitment of staff; making stocks; adaptation of protection measures, in particular of personnel; optimization of operating procedures based on clearly defined principles.

UKRAINE BETWEEN PEACE AND WAR WITH RUSSIA
Authors: DUMITRU Ilie Răsvan
Published: July 2021

After the Crimean Peninsula was invaded and the amplification of conflicts in South-Eastern Ukraine, it has become obvious that Russia's policy is concentrated on preserving its influence and strategic control over the decisions and political directions taken by the States from the former Soviet bloc. To understand the consequences of the Russian-Ukrainian war on the West, as well as to anticipate and counteract a possible future evolution of similar events not only in geopolitical risk states such as Moldavia, but also even in NATO members such as the Baltic countries, Romania or Bulgaria, it is worth paying attention to the geopolitical consequences of the loss of Crimea and the South-Eastern provinces by Ukraine. The article analyses the reason, mechanisms and stakes behind the Russian-Ukrainian war, from both a geopolitical and historical perspective. To understand the way in which different hybrid instruments can be used by the Russian Federation to influence the States in its proximity and, in particular, how their combination leads to effective satisfaction of the aims, it is useful to assess and address the systemic risks and vulnerabilities of States in the concerned areas of Russia and the West in recent years.

Published: July 2021

The military organization, due to its fundamental role in defending and maintaining the sovereignty and security of any state in the world, has undergone a natural evolutionary process. In this process man plays the main role. Thus, the continuous transformation to which the military organization was and is still subjected to, being permanently conditioned by the constantly changing threats and challenges, was achieved simultaneously with human evolution, under the impact of all discoveries and technologies developed and implemented by it. In this article, we will analyze two important areas of human activity, military organization and sports, focusing on finding common values for the two areas and generating relevant answers to the question: Is a sports team equivalent to a military structure?

The ancient woodland concept as a practical conservation tool: the Turkish experience
Authors: Kırca Simay , Çolak Alper H. , Rotherham Ian D.
Published: July 2021

Why ancient woodlands and wood species restoration and rehabilitation is necessary? In Turkey there are over 500 taxa of trees and shrubs, however only a few of them play a vital role both naturally and culturally. The technical term here is ‘intergenerational equity’, or in plainer language, not messing things up for our children and grandchildren. In ancient woodland restoration and rehabilitation approach in Turkey, there is no lack of knowledge to implement suitable strategies, however what is more often lacking is an understanding of the overall landscape and the factors that determine whether different land-uses are mutually reinforcing or in conflict. These applications need to accommodate new perspectives and ideas to put ancient woods back into the natural and cultural landscapes. The experience gained indicates that such implementations require supportive local and national policy frameworks and a strong constituency of local-level support. As a country with already significant areas of a highly degraded nature, but also containing diverse natural and cultural landscapes, Turkey should apply suitable techniques to bring these ancient woods back into their original landscapes in order to sustain its cultural and natural heritage. Ascertaining, and then maintaining, the condition of ancient woodland in Turkey like in UK will be a major challenge for the future. Turkey contains ancient cultural landscapes with distinctive ancient wood and ancient woodlands. They are strongly influenced by human activity reaching back far into history. This is very obvious in Anatolia, a region where eastern and western civilizations meet. The region has also been recognized by eastern and western civilizations nearly as a ‘tree paradise’ with its diverse tree species adapted to different climatic and geomorphological conditions. In this context, it has been aimed to; (1) emphasize the interaction between cultural features and diverse forest landscapes with ancient woodlands, (2) introduce the understanding of ancient woodland concept in Turkey, (3) determine the typical prominent ancient woodland taxa, (4) represent some techniques in order to restore degraded ancient woodland ecosystems in Turkey and (5) seek opportunities for the planning of undisturbed ancient landscapes as a cultural heritage. Additionally, the importance of developing strategies in order to prevent the loss of ancient woodlands was tried to be illustrated by two case studies on Common yew (Taxus baccata L.) and Common boxwood (Buxus sempervirens L.), which have been continuosly present in Anatolia since thousands of years, became an important component of cultural landscapes, however strongly influenced by human activity resulting with the degardation and loss of their habitats.

Published: July 2021

Anomaly detection in the sound from machines is an important task in machine monitoring. An autoencoder architecture based on the reconstruction error using a log-Mel spectrogram feature is a conventional approach for this domain. However, because of the non-stationary nature of some sounds from the target machine, such a conventional approach does not perform well in those circumstances. In this paper, we propose a novel approach regarding the choice of used features and a new auto-encoder architecture. We created the Mixed Feature, which is a mixture of different sound representations, and a new deep learning method called Fully-Connected U-Net, a form of autoencoder architecture. With experiments on the same dataset as the baseline system, using the same architecture for all types of machines, the experimental results showed that our methods outperformed the baseline system in terms of the AUC and pAUC evaluation metrics. The optimized model achieved 83.38% AUC and 64.51% pAUC on average overall machine types on the developed dataset and outperformed the published baseline by 13.43% AUC and 8.13% pAUC.

In the context of Human Computer Interaction, engagement might be seen as a reflection of users' involvement and interaction with a digital system. To digital government initiatives, civic engagement refers to the ways in which citizens participate in the life of a community, in order to improve conditions for others or to help shape the communitys future. Recent studies have approached civic engagement harnessed by gamification, i.e. the adoption of game elements in non-game contexts. In this context, the goal of this research is to investigate which gamification studies and features have been applied to civic engagement initiatives. This study reviews current literature, looking for the relationship between civic engagement and how it has been applied to the Human Computer Interaction context.

Screening for Antenatal Depression by Midwives in Low Resource Settings in Primary Care Settings in Malawi
Authors: Chorwe-Sungani Genesis
Published: July 2021

Depression significantly contributes to the disease burden of pregnant women. However, depression is often under diagnosed by health professionals especially in antenatal clinics. This is the situation in Malawi where there is no routine screening for depression in antenatal clinics. Nonetheless, screening can enable the effective management of pregnant women with depression at antenatal clinics. There is therefore a need to integrate screening for depression into routine antenatal services to enhance the early identification of antenatal depression and intervention to improve and maintain the well-being of pregnant women and contribute towards achieving the efforts of the Government of Malawi in scaling up the treatment of depression.

Published: July 2021

A diagnostic survey was conducted in the rainy and dry seasons from 2014 to 2015 to determine the incidence and severity of major diseases of cassava in Sierra Leone. At least three chiefdoms and five villages per district were targeted. The survey was carried out in fourteen districts of the country with geo references using a GPS. On the spot assessment was conducted in all fields. Prevalence, severity and incidence were calculated. The most dominant diseases included the cassava mosaic disease and the cassava bacterial blight. The prevalence of cassava mosaic disease was high with 69.1% and 61.5% in the rainy season and dry season, respectively. The prevalence of cassava bacterial blight was 100% and 92% in the rainy season and dry season, respectively. Diseases of less importance included white spot and brown spot diseases as well as cassava anthracnose disease. The study provides bases for the deployment of improved varieties and provides information on the seasonal prevalence, incidence and severity of cassava diseases in Sierra Leone.
A Theoretical Concept to Increase the Trustworthiness of Online and Offline Debates with Real-Time AI Speech Analytics
Authors: Koidl Kevin
Published: July 2021

Debates are an essential democratic institution in danger by the rise of Social Media. The advent of Fake News often referred to as the ‘crisis of trust’, has led to a substantial increase in debates that blend online and offline. It can be argued that blended approaches are not directly linked to increasing trustworthiness in the debate. To overcome this trust crisis and increase the reliability in debates, we introduce the HELIOSPHERE concept that seeks to use technological advances, such as Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality, to create a more fair, inclusive and transparent debate. The critical component for inclusiveness is Augmented Reality technology and 3D camera technology to hybridise the online and offline debating space and ensure that anyone who cannot be present can engage with the debate. For transparency and fairness, a key indicator of trust, an Artificial Intelligence dashboard is introduced to analyse and visualise speaking time, speaker gender, topic relatedness, bias detection sentiment in Real-Time. This work presents the overall theoretical concept focusing on academic and technical concepts to support reliable communication within debates.
Surgical Approach to Rib Fractures
Authors: Dubus Turkan
Published: July 2021

Rib fractures due to thorax trauma are one of the issues that mostly concern thoracic surgeons. Treatment for rib fractures is usually conservative. However, in some cases, fractured rib can cause complicated situations and surgical repair is required. Very serious respiratory problems occur in multiple costa fractures. Therefore, many advantages of surgical stabilization of the thorax wall have been reported. Especially shortening mechanical ventilation, decreasing the duration of intensive care unit stay, is important in preventing complications. Operation indications; Persistent pain despite intercostal block, narcotic and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics, It was determined upon the presence of leakage from the thorax tube, intrathoracic hematoma and flail chest deformity. Nowadays, nithinol plates and titanium plates are frequently used in surgeon fixation of the rib fractures.

Isolation of Staphylococcus aureus is quite common in both the general population and hospital environment. The heterogeneity of the disease and the unique ability of S. aureus to develop resistance to the most recently discovered antibacterial drugs points to its ability to adapt and survive in different conditions. CA-MRSA is different from hospital strains of MRSA by its epidemiological, phenotypic and genotypic characteristics. The emergence of MRSA in the community suggests the need for a new approach to managing the indications and the certification of staphylococcal infections, with special emphasis on the selection of empiric antibiotic therapy. In the study, we analised of MRSA from 4341 samples taken from patients from the general population of Sarajevo Canton in the six-month period of follow-up processed at the Public Health Institute of Sarajevo Canton. We determined the epidemiological characteristics of the isolated strains. Methicillin resistance was determined by phenotypic methods. The following molecular methods were used for the confirmation of methicillin resistance: determination of the mecA gene, PFGE profile, genetic type of MRSA being determined by spa typing, the distribution of SCCmec types being examined, and the detected gene for PVL. The study stresses the need for national monitoring of spreading of the existing epidemic strains, as well as the monitoring of emergence of new strains which would enable the inclusion of our country in the international network of monitoring bacterial resistance.
The Desirability of a Future Integrated Reporting in the Study of Social and Innovative Practices

Published: July 2021

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) has been considered the materialisation of ethics in organisations. CSR practices reflect companies’ non-financial aspects, such as social and environmental issues. The proposal of an integrated report that jointly presents financial and non-financial issues would provide a global view of business activity, which will allow for analysis of the relationships and interactions among financial and non-financial resources involved in value creation, including human, social and relational, natural, and intellectual capital. If these resources are related, a report that integrates all of them would facilitate analysis. In this research, the relationship between innovation and CSR is studied. Environmental commitment may be a source of innovation (in the process of production and types of products) and involves social, relational, and intellectual capital changes. Innovation has previously been analysed from a perspective of competitiveness, necessitating a change of approach towards stakeholders that could allow us to reach a conceptual understanding of these relations. The research is empirically verified by studying a sample of 590 firm-years across 118 European companies that are leaders in sustainability, in the five-year period of 2011–2015. The results obtained show that CSR is a benchmark for addressing innovation and justifies the interest in an integrated reporting model that provides a global view of business.

Published: July 2021

This work is part of a research into the state of conservation and behavior of a group of self-built social housing. The construction, which dates from 1990, was carried out with an original low-cost construction system that uses clay and wood bricks called LAD-MA. This was implemented by the NGO Urban Technical Assistance Center “Taller Norte”, in the Peñalolén commune, Santiago de Chile, Metropolitan Region. The study focuses on the evaluation of well-being and thermal comfort in these homes, which is determined through environmental monitoring by meteorological stations installed for six months in 4 homes. It is established that the houses do not comply with the parameters set up by the international standards ISO 7730 and ASHRAE 55. For this, constructive solutions are proposed to thermally improve the current houses, and update the LAD-MA construction system to comply with the thermal Insulation standards stipulated for the Sustainable Housing Certification of the Ministry of Housing and Urbanism.
