Authors:   Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Republic of North Macedonia Faculty of Economics, Kikerkova Irena , Makrevska Disoska Elena , Toshevska-Trpchevska Katerina , Tonovska Jasna
Published: September 2021

The paper makes an indetail overview of the structure of the trade exchange of goods of Macedonia and explores the determinants of its bilateral trade flows using the gravity model. The analysis includes data on 40 trade partners of Macedonia in the period from 2005-2019. The used variables in the model are: GDP per capita difference, population, distance and relative endowments of factors of production (capital, land and labour). In most of the analyzed regressions the coefficients on determinants such as GDP per capita difference and population are positive and their impact upon the bilateral trade (as dependent variable) is statistically significant. Intensity of Macedonian trade decreases in regard of the distance from a trade partner and increases in partner’s size – the country tends to trade more with lager countries. In our analysis we included three dummy variables such as: membership in the EU and in CEFTA-2006 and common language. The impact of the possible membership in the EU is clearly positive and statistically significant. Being a candidate country for full EU membership, Macedonia trades more with EU trade partners rather than with the neibouring countries, members of CEFTA-2006. Keywords: bilateral trade, gravity model, trade partners, Republic of North Macedonia, European Union, CEFTA-2006
DE JURE HARMONIZATION OF FINANCIAL REPORTING FOR LISTED COMPANIES: EVIDENCE FOR SELECTED CEE COUNTRIES
Authors:   University of Split, Split, Croatia Department of Professional Studies Accounting and Finance, Perkušić Dijana , Pervan Ivica
Published: September 2021

Globalization of business and free flow of capital resulted in strong demand for comparable financial reports worldwide. An important element of achieving de facto harmonization of financial reporting is de jure harmonization, i.e. harmonization of regulatory requirements on the country level. Although more than 100 countries have a requirement for use of IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) for listed companies, de facto harmonization is still an ongoing process. De facto harmonization is affected by many influential factors, among which de jure harmonization represents one of the most important factors. For the purpose of the study, the authors developed an index of de jure harmonization (IDJH) based on the EU regulatory framework and evaluated its value for 5 CEE countries (Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Montenegro, Slovenia and Serbia). Empirical findings reveal significant differences in de jure harmonization, related to the country's status in relation to EU integration processes. Keywords: de jure harmonization, financial reporting, CEE countries
ADAPTATION TO EXTERNAL SHOCKS WITHIN THE CURRENCY BOARD SYSTEM ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE BALTIC COUNTRIES AND BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA
Authors:   University of Mostar, Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina Faculty of Economics, Jerinić Marina
Published: September 2021

One of the most important economic policy issues, especially in the post-transition countries, is exchange rate regime (ERR), i.e. the question of optimal exchange rate regime that would stimulate economic growth and propagate macroeconomic stability. For small and EU-oriented countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H), the EU accession processes and character of countries' economic cycle phase are usually highlighted among many factors. The choice of the appropriate exchange rate system is determinated by the specific characteristics of individual countries, time moment and the characteristics of the external shock occurrence. It is generally accepted that monetary instabilities are treated by fixation and real economic shocks by exchange rate fluctuations. An important criterion for assessing the adequacy of the current exchange rate regime is its response to external shocks, such as the Great Recession in 2008. While flexible exchange rate regime is used as an automatic stabilizer, fixed exchange rates place certain restrictions. The process of macroeconomic adjustment in the Baltic States is an example of how large macroeconomic imbalances can be reduced without adjusting the nominal exchange rate and how the currency board can be successfully used as a stage in the euro introduction process. The aim of this paper is to give a comparative overview of the currency board introduction in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Baltic countries, results achieved and reactions to external shocks (Great Recession in 2008) within this exchange rate arrangement, so conclusions that could be valuable in post-COVID 19 recovery can be drawn. Key words: exchange rates, currency board, external shocks
STORYTELLING – THE TOOL OF DESTINATION MANAGEMENT COMPANIES FOR CREATING AN EXTRAORDINARY EXPERIENCE IN FILM TOURISM
Authors:   University of Split, Split, Croatia Department of Professional Studies, Matošević Radić Mijana , Zubčić Ante , Tomić Ivana
Published: September 2021

Experience-based industries, such as tourism, gain a competitive advantage when they create an extraordinary experience for their customers. Contemporary tourists prefer authentic experiences, acquisition of new knowledge and skills as well as participation in community activities. Therefore, they don’t want to consume only the products and services in the destination, but they are really interested in the story behind the tourist products. In film tourism, the story has a special role since it is a type of product that arises from the individual experience of the location, which is displayed in some form of media presentation. Consequently, it is particularly important for the destination management companies to use tools and techniques that can influence the customer experience. In this context, the aim of this paper is to analyse possibility of destination management companies to use storytelling in creating film tourism products. Although storytelling is often used by destination management organization as a destination marketing tool, destination management companies can use it to create high value-added products. This paper analyzes an example of good practice how a destination management company can use storytelling in creating and developing its products. However, as the example of good practice emphasizes, the application of storytelling in creating extraordinary experience requires an interdisciplinary approach and great creativity of experts from different fields, where additional value can be achieved through the use of modern information and communication technology. Applying this approach, storytelling is a tool that destination management companies can use very successfully to transform the film tourism product into an extraordinary experience for their customers. Keywords: storytelling, destination management company, film tourism
THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL APPROACHES ON TAX EVASION
Authors:   Babeș-Bolyai Universty, Romania Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, Postea Maria Mihaela
Published: September 2021

Measurement of an economic indicator or phenomenon starts by defining it first and determining its components. Tax evasion as a component of the underground economy is a phenomenon that is hard to be observed and estimated because of its hidden nature. To be able to compare the figures for tax evasion from different countries, there is the need for a definition internationally accepted. This paper aims to make a literature review on the phenomenon and to find a definition that is widely accepted. In this area, not only the literature review is important but also the legislation from different countries. We will look closely at the definition of tax evasion given by the legislation of different countries from the EU and the USA. In the literature, there are several methods to estimate the underground economy. There are direct methods (questionnaire), indirect methods (indicator methods), and statistical methods (MIMIC), but all of them have their shortcomings. In the paper, all the shortcomings of each method used in the present are discussed to estimate the underground economy. As a conclusion, we can state that at the present moment there is not a definition internationally accepted for the underground economy, making it hard to estimate and to compare the results from different countries. In addition, the methods used to estimate the phenomenon have advantages and disadvantages. None of the methods is better than the other. When estimating the underground economy, it is advised to use more than one method. At this moment it is safe to say that the link between theory and empirical estimation is still unsatisfactory. Keywords: tax evasion, underground economy
SYSTEM-DYNAMIC MODELING OF THE IMPACT OF SOCIAL CAPITAL ON ECONOMIC GROWTH
Authors:   University of Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik, Croatia Maritime Department, Milić Beran Ivona
Published: September 2021

This paper presents a qualitative and quantitative system-dynamic modeling of the impact of social capital on economic growth. Social capital is the most problematic of all the concepts that determine progress. On a broad conceptual level, there is agreement about the importance of social capital, which has been used to explain differences in progress among nations with similar natural, human and physical capital. Recent research suggests that it is more important to include an explanation of the interaction of economic actors and their organization when measuring progress than to measure progress without the influence of social capital. The purpose of this paper is to develop a system-dynamic model of the impact of social capital on economic growth that will enable better understanding and management of social capital. In order to build a system dynamics model, the paper will: provide an analysis and overview of social capital and system dynamics; develop a system dynamics structural and mental-verbal model of the impact of social capital on economic growth; and develop a mathematical model of economic growth. This will provide a practical insight into the dynamic behavior of the observed system, i.e., analyzing economic growth and observing the mutual correlation between individual parameters. Keywords: social capital, economic growth, system dynamics, structural model

Authors: Atiyah Fityah U. , Sundari Sri , Rosa Elsye M.
Published: September 2021

Background: Maternal audits are part of quality control that is routinely carried out and aims as an essential learning material in evaluating maternal services in an area so that the expected outcome is a decrease in maternal mortality in an area. The maternal audit program that is carried out will undoubtedly benefit health facilities that provide services in the maternal sector, such as primary, secondary, and tertiary health facilities.Methods: This study used a qualitative case study method with a purposive sampling technique. The data collection technique was carried out by interviewed using the in-depth interview method, and triangulation was carried out using observation and document review.Results: The community health center has contributed to implementing maternal audits, starting from the data collection process, participating in district audit forums, and implementing the recommendations. Four factors influence the implementation of the maternal audit program at the community health center in reducing maternal mortality, namely the knowledge of health workers, the involvement of health workers in the community health center in the audit process, the recommendations for the results of the audit process and the implementation of follow-up on the results of the audit recommendations at the community health center.Conclusions: The maternal audit program can reduce maternal mortality and improve the maternal and child service system at the community health center level, although there are still several obstacles in implementing the recommendations of the audit results.

Securing the airway is the first step that clinicians take care of for clinically unstable patients. Rapid sequence intubation (RSI) has been reported by many clinicians to effectively achieve this. Many agents have been reported in the literature as effective induction agents for RSI. In this literature review, we have discussed the efficacies of the different induction agents that are commonly reported in the literature for RSI. Furthermore, RSI is done by paralytic and sedative agents that rapidly render the patient flaccid and unconscious to facilitate the emergent approaches to achieve successful tracheal intubation and minimize adverse events. We have discussed the efficacies and adverse events of benzodiazepines and barbiturates, ketamine, propofol, and etomidate. Each of these modalities has its advantages and adverse events, and clinicians should choose what is best for their patients based on the aforementioned discussion for each drug modality. We recommend that further investigations might be needed for further optimization of the induction agent and the relevant doses.

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a common pathogen of clinical significance within the community and healthcare settings. It has been reported with a variety of infections, including endocarditis, bloodstream infections, pneumonia, joint and bone infections, and soft tissue and skin infections. Although many efforts have been exerted to eradicate the rates of infections and studies have reported a decreasing pattern in the prevalence rates over the years, it has been demonstrated that MRSA represents a significant challenge to the healthcare systems and the affected patients. In this literature review, we have provided a discussion regarding the risk factors, screening, and treatment of MRSA among healthcare workers (HCWs) based on the evidence obtained from the current relevant studies in the literature. HCWs are at increased risk of MRSA colonization, and many risk factors have been identified. These mainly include poor hygiene practices, chronic skin diseases, and having a history of working in an MRSA-endemic country. Decolonization practices are the main line of treatment of MRSA colonization among HCWs because antibiotic therapy is usually of limited use because of the increasing resistance to a wide range of antibiotics. Applying adequate interventions as taking care of hand hygiene and using alcohol-based disinfectants is recommended to achieve better outcomes. Increasing awareness among HCWs is also a potential approach to achieve better management.
Productivity Growth and Infrastructure-Related Sectors: The Case of Mexico
Authors: Navajas Fernando , Ahumada Hildegart , Espina-Mairal Santos , Bermúdez Guillermo
Published: September 2021

This technical note examines the interactions between infrastructure and productivity growth in Mexico. To address this relation, we follow an approach that seek to tie down infrastructure productivity improvements in terms of the impact of particular types of infrastructure on particular sectors, thus providing the basis for informed decisions on investment priorities for economic growth. We have been able to identify significant relations between labor and capital productivity improvements, or capital deepening (i.e., investment) in infrastructure-related sectors and labor productivity improvements in other sectors. Sectoral infrastructure priorities can be found in the transport and energy sectors, broadly defined, with effects that have regional differences. The nature of our results points to complementary policies and the need to improve the regulatory compact for infrastructure in Mexico. Our results recommend special attention to the regulatory/competition policy approach in transport, and the electricity wholesale market.

Изучены некоторые факторы, влияющие на репродуктивное здоровье женщин, вклад генетических и средовых факторов в развитие женского бесплодия. В рамках данного исследования было проанализировано 100 медицинских карт женщин, пациенток клинки «Мать и дитя». Проводилось исследование разных форм женского бесплодия, соответствующих МКБ. Оценивались такие показатели, как возраст, индекс массы тела, продолжительность заболевания, гормональный фон, кариотип и семейный анамнез с целью выявления генетической обусловленности изучаемой патологии. Установлено, что первичные нарушения детородной функции у женщин встречаются несколько чаще, чем вторичные. Наиболее часто встречаемой причиной бесплодия в обследуемой группе женщин является нарушение проходимости маточных труб. Вероятность наступления беременности снижается для женщин с избыточной массой тела при ИМТ более25,3кг/м2 . У Большинства обследованных женщин с помощью проведенных методов исследования не удалось выявить роль генетического фактора в развитии бесплодия. Результаты исследования показывают, что для 88% женщин с длительным бесплодием установлено позднее обращение в клинику репродуктивной медицины.

В силу учебного стресса студенты, испытывая высокое умственное и психоэмоциональное напряжение, нередко справляются со стрессом, посредством табакокурения и употребления алкоголя, что создает высокий риск формирования у них аддиктивного поведения. Цель исследования – разработка рекомендаций по предупреждению формирования химических аддикций у студентов. Материалы и методы. Обследовано 241 студент: 152 – медицинского 46 (30,3%) мужского и 106 (69,7%) – женского пола и 89 юридического институтов: 34 (38%) юноши и 55 (62%) девушек. Применялись: «Методика скрининг-диагностики аддиктивного и зависимого поведения», госпитальная шкала тревоги и депрессии (HADS), шкала агрессивности Почебут. В ходе исследования применялись непараметрические статистические методы обработки базы данных. Результаты. Среди медиков чаще (χ²=4,3 р=0,04) встречались химические аддикции, чем среди юристов. Основными факторами риска развития аддиктивного поведения у студентов послужили высокий уровень агрессии, тревоги и депрессии, деструктивный характер взаимоотношений в семье, учебный стресс.
Использование электрокоагуляции для остановки кровотечений из задних отделов полости носа
Authors: Цай Л.А.
Published: September 2021

Проведен ретроспективный анализ результатов лечения 167 больных с кровотечениями из задних отделов полости носа. Возраст больных был от 32 до 73 лет. В большинстве случаев источник кровотечения при первичном осмотре обнаружить не удалось. Оптимальным терапевтическим подходом в этих случаях была идентификация кровоточащего сосуда и его коагуляция при эндоскопическом исследовании полости носа. Если при рецидивирующем НК поиск источника кровотечения был затруднен узостью полости носа из-за наличия девиации перегородки, выполняли корригирующую операцию с эндоскопической ревизией задних отделов полости носа и электрокоагуляцией кровоточивой зоны.

Published: September 2021

В статье рассматриваются варианты толкования идеи «творчество – имманентное свойство природы», актуализированные в современном философском дискурсе. По критерию использования понятийного комплекса акцентированы различия трех способов экспликации идеи творческой вселенной: традиционная, апеллирующая к понятиям Абсолюта, трансцендентного; «мета»- и «квази- научная», отсылающая к антропному принципу, синергии и т.п.; и концепция, связанная с проблематикой искусственного интеллекта. Данные концептуальные схемы гетерономны и тяготеют либо к научной, либо к мистической версии мироздания.

Traumatic Diaphragmatic Rupture (TDR) is a rare type of trauma. Small intestine injuries are the third most common type of injury resulting from blunt trauma to abdominal organs. The immediate diagnosis of TDR and bowel injuries is a daunting task. We reported a 53-year-old male patient who was transferred to the hospital by EMS because of a car accident. The chest X-ray showed the left diaphragm elevation. Also, a computed tomography scan revealed that the greater omentum, a portion of the colon, spleen, and stomach were transposed in the hemithorax through a diaphragm rupture. The patient underwent laparotomy and the incidental findings in laparotomy showed bowel injuries. This case was a common cause of traumatic left-sided diaphragmatic rupture and intestinal injury. The suspicion of diaphragmatic rupture and intestinal injury in a patient with multiple traumas contributes to early diagnosis. Surgical repair remains the only treatment for diaphragmatic rupture. The severe injury in a part of the intestine may result in the resection of that part.

This is a new case, affecting a twin that both with Hirschsprung’s disease, one was suffering from long-segment Hirschsprung’s disease with skip segmented. Our surgeon suspected the absence of abnormal vessel tortuosity in the transitional zone; thus, the appendix was sent for permanent pathology. There were ganglion cells in the colostomy site but no ganglion was found in the appendix. Complete biopsies from different parts of the intestine demonstrated positive ganglion cells in the transverse colon, ascending colon, and the distal ileum, jejunum, and duodenum, and negative ganglion cells in the rectum, sigmoid, descending colon, appendix, and 5 cm far from the ileocecal valve were observed. Therefore, the Kimura procedure was done. The most important key in such cases is the surgeons’ observation during operation.

Introduction: Generally, the benefits of radiological examinations performed on individuals far outweigh their risks; however, this is not true when the radiographic system fails to work properly. Therefore, to avoid such errors, it is crucial to frequently perform Quality Control (QC) checks in an imaging facility.
Material and Methods: A total of 11 highly-referred centers out of 62 radiology rooms located in Yazd province were included in this investigation, and QC tests comprising light/radiation field alignment, the accuracy of kilovoltage and exposure time, reproducibility of kilovoltage, exposure time, and output, and linearity of output against exposure time and milliamperage were performed for each equipment. The light and radiation field alignment test were carried out by a quantitative assessment of digital images of a collimator template (PTW-Freiburg, Germany). The measurements were made by a Barracuda package and a Multi-Purpose Detector (MPD).
Results: In terms of the light/radiation field alignment check, unit A failed to satisfy the national regulations. Concerning the timer reproducibility, 64% of the units failed to meet the criteria. All of the devices passed the rest of the checks satisfactorily.
Conclusion: This study uncovered that most of the radiology rooms in Yazd province are in an adequate situation based on the QC tests; however, more than half of the units do not satisfy the timer reproducibility criteria. Hence, more supervision needs to be directed at these systems by qualified radiation safety officers who are responsible for the protection of the population against ionization radiation.
Estradiol and COVID-19: Does 17-Estradiol Have an Immune-Protective Function in Women Against Coronavirus?
Authors: Zafari Zangeneh Farideh , Sarmast Shoushtari Maryam
Published: September 2021

Objective: Female sex hormones have a pro-inflammatory effect, which may help to minimize inflammation. Estrogen's immunoregulatory properties play a significant role in the bi-directional neuroendocrine-immune activity in females. As a result, sex hormones can play a role in men's high mortality rate from coronavirus-2019 (COVID-19). It is aimed to clarify the role of 17-estradiol (E2) in the battle against COVID-19.
Materials and methods: Until April 2021, a study on PubMed was performed. COVID-19, 17-estradiol (E2), immunoregulatory properties, pregnancy, menopausal symptoms, hormonal therapy, ER/ expression on immune cells, and mortality were some of the concepts used in the search.
Results: Regulation of pro-inflammatory immune processes against COVID-19 appears to be associated with increased immune function (pro-inflammatory), anti-inflammatory regulation, and antiviral defense. Women with a severe coronavirus infection had higher serum IgG antibody levels than men, and their IgG production was faster in the early stages of infection. 17-estradiol (E2) levels of blood will increase by 100-fold during pregnancy. COVID-19 in pregnant women had a 15-fold lower mortality rate than other women. While menopause replacement therapy (MRT) for pre/post-menopausal women and its effectiveness in reducing COVID-19 infection is debatable.
Conclusion: MRT may be considered as a viable treatment option for pre/post-menopause women with coronavirus, referring to the fact that sex hormones reduce inflammatory responses and modulate ACE2 expression. The task's difficulty and achieving the desired outcome seem to be challenging.

Published: September 2021

Objective: The objective of our study is to characterize the knowledge, information sources, and institutional trust of patients regarding medication use in pregnancy.
Materials and methods: We conducted a review of three databases: MEDLINE, EMBASE, and CINAHL. We included observational studies and knowledge assessments that examined the knowledge, attitudes, beliefs or information sources of pregnant patients related to medication use during pregnancy. Extraction was completed by two independent reviewers, outcomes were summarized descriptively, and appraisal was conducted.
Results: Of the 1359 search results, 34 studies met inclusion criteria. Thus, our systematic review encompasses the beliefs of 11,757 pregnant participants. In most studies, participants described apprehension regarding potential risks to the fetus and the inadequacy of safety information. Across the 23 knowledge assessments, the majority of studies reported patient misconceptions about prescription medication in pregnancy. The most preferred information source was a healthcare provider. However, many participants expressed frustration, mistrust, and skepticism regarding physician knowledge. A common source of mistrust was due to perceived physician self-interest as well as a lack of education tailored to pregnancy. Consequently, informal sources of information were also popular.
Conclusion: There is a need to improve the health literacy and trust among pregnant patients regarding drug prescribing. There are modifiable risk factors for mistrust that require further attention.

Objective: Due to the growing use of communication instruments such as cell phones and wireless devices, there is growing public concern about possible harmful effects, especially in sensitive groups such as pregnant women. This study aimed to investigate the oxidative stress induced by exposure to 900 MHz mobile phone radiation and the effect of vitamin C intake on reducing possible changes in pregnant mice.
Materials and methods: Twenty-one pregnant mice were divided into three groups (control, mobile radiation-exposed, and mobile radiation plus with vitamin C intake co-exposed (200 mg /kg)). The mice in exposure groups were exposed to 900 MHz, 2 watts, and a power density of 0.045 μw /cm2 mobile radiation for eight hours/day for ten consecutive days. After five days of rest, MDA (Malondialdehyde), 8-OHdG (8-hydroxy-2' -deoxyguanosine), and TAC (Total Antioxidant Capacity) levels were measured in the blood of animals. The results were analyzed by SPSS.22.0 software.
Results: The results showed that exposure to mobile radiation increased MDA (P=0.002), and 8-OHdG (P=0.001) significantly and decreased Total Antioxidant Capacity in the exposed groups (P=0.001). Taking vitamin C inhibited the significant increase in MDA and 8-OHdG levels in exposed groups.
Conclusion: Although exposure to mobile radiation can cause oxidative stress in the blood of pregnant mice, vitamin C as an antioxidant can prevent it.

Published: September 2021

Purpose of the study: This study aims to discuss the American role in the anti-Soviet Afghan war and disclose the reasons for the Soviet worry about the growth of the fundamentalist terrorist groups inside Afghanistan.

Methodology: This is library-based research work.

Results: The article has come up with some main points on that severe war. One of these was that the American President Jimmy Carter's Doctrine in 1980. Carter's Doctrine could be considered a sort of policy that allows the use of military force in case American interests are exposed to Soviet threats. As a result, the American administration promised to militarily support the Afghan fighters against the Soviet control in Afghanistan. But, at the same time, the Americans failed to realize the ethnic, ideological, social, lingual, and theological structure of the Afghan society.

Application: This study could have many applications in the faculties of politics and the contemporary altogether to teach the ways of public and secret or hidden political relationships between the secular states or so-called superpowers that employed the extremist groups to overwhelm the stable states that do not subdue to the western domination.

Novelty: This study explores the incorrect claim of the superpowers in general and of the United States of America in particular of the theory of separation religion and the state, which is often used in the double standard.
