SPATIAL PLANNING IN THE EU AND CROATIA UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Authors: Held Mateja , Perkov Kristina
Published: June 2022

Spatial planning is an interdisciplinary process dealing with practices of regulating and transforming the space, including experts from various fields such as lawyers, spatial and urban planners, geographers, civil engineers, economists, sociologists, etc. Spatial plans are general acts that arise due to the complex spatial planning process in which public participation is a necessary tool for transparent and legal procedure. They impact human rights due to their influence on a healthy environment, organization of life, quality of public services, green areas in the cities, etc. Spatial plans also deal with the economic aspect of investments, urban planning, and development of a particular territory. Cities are rapidly evolving and are characterized by density and overcrowded population, so the EU has a special interest in the adequate organization of the space. Consequences of the COVID- 19 pandemic have produced a need for a different land use regulation from the established one. New challenges for the Member State’s governments include regulation for the organization of life and everyday needs in 15 minutes’ walk areas (work, market, health care, school, kindergartens, public services, parks, etc.). Although the European Union does not have direct competence in spatial planning of each Member State, it has a strong influence on the Member States through regulations (for example, European Spatial Development Perspective, The New Leipzig Charter, etc. which provide a strong framework for good and sustainable urban governance) and practice, as well as through the financial support to the Member States. This paper has two main goals. The first aim of this paper is to analyse how the EU tries to overcome the consequences of the pandemic in the physical planning system (recommendations, guidelines, financial support, consulting, or others). We also aim to discover how the pandemic affected the process of adopting the spatial plans in the Member States on the example of Croatia in one case study. The paper is divided into several parts. After the introduction, the first part of the paper brings an overview of the spatial planning process in the EU and Croatia based on the analyses of the relevant EU and domestic regulations. Next part of the paper deals with the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on the spatial planning at the EU level, and on the development and adoption of spatial plans in Croatia. This includes the duration of the process, restrictions, and new ways of public participation in the process of the development and adoption of spatial plans (for example online public presentations), the influence on economic development (investments in a building), social distancing, etc. Last part of the paper will contain a research of development and adoption of spatial plans under the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic. The paper concludes with particular suggestions for improving the Croatian situation based on the good practices of the EU.
THE POTENTIAL OF ARTICLE 259 TFEU AS A TOOL FOR UPHOLDING THE MUTUAL TRUST IN THE EU
Authors: Runcheva Tasev Hristina , Apostolovska-Stepanoska Milena , Ognjanoska Leposava
Published: June 2022

The principle of mutual trust, whose fundamental importance is recognized by the CJEU, is not mentioned in the Treaties, but nonetheless, it plays an essential role for the EU integration process and has become a structural principle of the EU law. In addition to its role as a basis for a large set of EU rules in the areas such as the internal market and the area of freedom, security and justice, this principle is also closely related to the EU founding values including the rule of law. Having in mind that is not a “blind trust” but an assumption, it is applied through ensuring compliance with the Union law for which both the Member States and the European Commission share responsibility, inter alia, by means of the infringement procedure. Under Article 259 TFEU, Member States are also entitled to bring a direct action against another Member State for an alleged infringement of an obligation under the Treaties. However, it is extremely rare for a Member State to take action upon the Article 259 TFEU and its potential remains untapped till now. This contribution aims to answer why do Member States are inactive in terms of invoking the infringement procedure. It argues that infringement procedure initiated by a Member State against another Member State should not be perceived as a violation of the mutual trust between them but as a tool to uphold the mutual trust and to protect the Union’s founding values, including the rule of law.

Cervical Pre-cancers: Biopsy and Immunohistochemistry
Authors: Kamal Meherbano
Published: June 2022

The existence of precursor lesions for invasive cervical cancer has been recognized for more than 50 years. Our understanding of the pathobiology and behavior of cervical cancer precursors has evolved considerably over the past five decades. Furthermore, the terminology used to classify pre-invasive lesions of the cervix has frequently changed. The realization that human papillomavirus (HPV) infections constitute a morphologic continuum has prompted efforts to include them within a single classification system, specifically the squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs) which have now been embraced by the surgical pathologists. The reduced number of specific pathological categories has made clinical decision-making more straightforward. The generic criteria for SIL have two important histological parameters: Alterations in the density of superficial epithelial cells and superficial squamous atypia. The flat condyloma or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) I is generally associated with intermediate and high-risk HPV types as against the low-risk viruses that cause exophytic/papillary growth patterns of condylomas. The diagnosis of low-grade SIL (LSIL) (flat and exophytic condylomas) requires first excluding benign mimics of LSIL and second to confirm the characteristic cytologic atypia. For high-grade SILs (HSILs), the extent and degree of atypia generally exceed the limits of that described in flat or exophytic condylomas (LSILs). Less maturation, abnormal cell differentiation, loss of cell polarity, and increased mitotic index with abnormal mitotic figures occupying increasing thickness of the epithelium define a lesion as CIN II or CIN III. Atypical immature metaplasia associated with inflammation and atrophy is a challenge in cervical biopsy interpretation. Careful attention to the growth pattern of the epithelium, the distribution of the atypia, nuclear spacing, and the degree of anisokaryosis and the presence of enlarged hyperchromatic nuclei help in differentiating a non-neoplastic from a neoplastic process. This chapter describes in depth the diagnostic difficulties in the interpretation of cervical biopsies. It also provides useful criteria in distinguishing benign mimics from true precancerous lesions and the role of biomarkers such as the p16ink4 and Ki-67 in the differential diagnosis of precursor lesions and the reactive and metaplastic epithelium.
Role of colposcopy in the management of women with abnormal cytology
Authors: Hariprasad Roopa , Mittal Srabani , Basu Partha
Published: June 2022

Cytology identifies the women who are at higher risk of harboring high-grade cervical premalignant lesions or invasive cancer. However, a diagnostic test such as colposcopy is crucial for women with abnormal cytology for localization of the abnormality, confirmation of diagnosis, and appropriate management. To standardize this subjective technique and to minimize the interobserver variations, Swede scoring system was introduced. The revised colposcopic nomenclature of the International Federation of Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy in 2011 included various normal and abnormal colposcopic findings and gives a description of colposcopic features which improves its accuracy over the colposcopic indices. There is consensus agreement that cytology indicative of high-grade lesions (ASC-H and HSIL in the Bethesda system) should engender immediate referral for colposcopy and biopsy. The management of women who have equivocal or borderline cytology of low-grade abnormalities (ASCUS/LSIL) is still under deliberation. It is generally agreed to have an HPV triage for women with equivocal cytology. Based on the latest recommendations, the current chapter provides an extensive overview of the role of colposcopy in the management of women with various abnormalities reported on Pap smear.
Role of immunocytochemistry in cervical cancer screening
Authors: Shidham Vinod B.
Published: June 2022

The cervical cancer screening has been based conventionally on cytologic analysis. With advances in understanding the role of human papillomavirus, cotesting has been applied. But most of the patients subjected to colposcopy did not benefit, except in cases with HSIL [high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion] cytology. Because of this, a step to increase the sensitivity to detect cancers and pre-cancers but with higher specificity with minimal overdiagnosis leading to prevention of unindicated cervical biopsies is highly desired. Such triaging step in cases with abnormal screening results is expected to minimize invasive interventions because of low false positivity. With availability of methodologies leading to quantitatively and qualitatively enhanced cell-blocks from residual liquid based cytology specimens, immunostaining can be performed for multiple immunomarkers with potential objectivity to triage initial screening test results. This is enhanced further with inclusion of AV marker in the cell-blocks and application of SCIP (subtractive coordinate immunoreactivity pattern) approach. The cell-blocks are also resource for performing other ancillary studies including molecular pathology and proteomics/metabolomics as potential tests in future. This review explores application of residual liquid based cytology specimen for cell-blocking with application of ancillary studies in algorithmic manner as adjunct to ASCCP management guidelines for improved patient care.
Neonatal multiple long bone fractures: A case presentation due to nemaline myopathy and review of other potential causes
Authors: Al Ghaithi Ahmed , Al Baluki Wafa , Aithal Vasudev
Published: June 2022

Nemaline myopathy is a rare genetic disorder caused by a mutation in genes encoding skeletal muscle proteins resulting in generalized hypotonia. It can be associated with neonatal multiple long bone fractures. We present a female neonate who had bilateral humerus and left femur fractures. Due to fetal distress, her delivery was at 37 weeks gestation by emergency cesarean section. The child was splinted and followed up for 8 weeks. She had a good union of fractured bones, callus formation, and no deformity. Muscle biopsy showed nemaline myopathy. Other biochemical and genetic tests were normal. The aim of this case report was to describe the presentation of multiple long bone fractures in neonates as an obstetric complication. Therefore, identifying the potential risk factors and planning the mode of delivery in future pregnancies, is critical in their management.

Towards research-literate language educators: Unveiling difficulties and delineating pathways of evidence-informed practice
Authors: Bednarek Dorota , Cybulska-Gómez de Celis Katarzyna
Published: June 2022

The aim of our text is to show the potential benefits of developing research literacy of teachers in general and language teachers in particular. We argue that research-literate teachers may effectively draw upon empirical studies and make informed decisions in the classroom, which has the potential to optimise students’ benefits. We emphasise the fact that, by referring to their experiential knowledge, teachers can also assume the role of active researchers who communicate their observations and validate particular teaching techniques or activities for different contexts and needs. By attempting to clarify basic misunderstandings, we see the need for ‘evidence-informed’ practice in teaching, which stems from an ‘evidence-based’ approach popular in medicine, psychology and psychotherapy. Finally, we demonstrate the suitability of various designs of empirical studies to answer different types of research questions, which we exemplify by high-quality studies from language education. Concluding, we call for tighter cooperation and bidirectional exchange of the know-how between teachers and academics.

Computer-aided design of elastin-like polypeptides with controlled viscoelastic and structural properties
Authors: López Barreiro Diego , Folch-Fortuny Abel , Muntz Iain , Thies Jens C. , Sagt Cees M. J. , Koenderink Gijsje H.
Published: June 2022

The biofabrication of structural proteins with controllable properties via amino acid sequence design is interesting for biomedicine and biotechnology, yet design rules that link amino acid sequence to material properties remain largely unknown. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations can help in unveiling such rules, but the lack of a standardised framework to interpret the outcome of those simulation hinders their predictive value for the design of de novo structural proteins, To address this, we developed a model that unambiguously classifies a library of de novo elastin-like polypeptides (ELPs) with varying numbers and locations of hydrophobic/hydrophilic and physical/chemical-crosslinking blocks according to their thermoresponsiveness at physiological temperature. Our approach does not require long simulation times or advanced sampling methods. Instead, we apply (un)supervised data analysis methods to a dataset of molecular properties from relatively short MD simulations (150 ns). We also investigate the rheological properties and microstructure of ELP hydrogels, revealing handles to tune them: chain hydrophilicity/hydrophobicity or block distribution control the viscoelasticity and thermoresponsiveness, whereas ELP concentration defines the network permeability. Our findings provide an avenue to accelerate the design of de novo ELPs with bespoke material properties.
Paramagnetic NMR Shielding Tensors Based on Scalar Exact Two-Component and Spin-Orbit Perturbation Theory
Authors: Bruder Florian , Franzke Yannick J. , Weigend Florian
Published: June 2022

The temperature-dependent Fermi-contact and pseudocontact terms are important contributions to the paramagnetic NMR shielding tensor. Herein, we augment the scalar-relativistic (local) exact two-component (X2C) framework with spin-orbit perturbation theory including the screened nuclear spin-orbit correction for the EPR hyperfine coupling and g tensor to compute these temperature-dependent terms. The accuracy of this perturbative ansatz is assessed with the self-consistent spin-orbit two-component and four-component treatments serving as reference. This shows that the Fermi-contact and pseudocontact interaction is sufficiently described for paramagnetic NMR shifts, however, larger deviations are found for the EPR spectra and the principle components of the EPR properties of heavy elements. The impact of the perturbative treatment is further compared to that of the density functional approximation and the basis set. Large scale calculations are routinely possible with the multipole accelerated resolution of the identity approximation and the seminumerical exchange approximation as shown for [CeTi6O3(OiPr)9(salicylate)6].
Reconstruction of a large scalp defect using a subcutaneous expander in a patient with the consequences of a cranio-brain injury and combined treatment of a head tumor
Authors: Tonchev M.D. , Nos A.O.
Published: June 2022

The features of the treatment of a patient with a traumatic brain injury after radiation therapy were highlighted. It was demonstrated the need for choose a phased treatment for a patient with a combined pathology (cancer skin disease, traumatic brain injury, features of wound healing after a course of radiation therapy). A significant skin defect, radiation damage to the tissues of this area, and the presence of infection did not allow to solve the problem at once, so the method of choice was sequential staged treatment. The importance of the patient’s psycho-emotional state in the treatment process was shown. Since the pre-sence of concomitant pathology, the age of the patient, repeated surgical interventions over a relatively short period of time, infectious complications at the previous stages, led to a depressed psycho-emotional state of the patient, which affected the final result and led the patient to refuse plastic surgery of the skull defect. The authors note the need to involve a psychotherapist in the recovery process to improve the psycho-emotional state of patients with combined pathology and the possibility of conducting the final stage of treatment of the underlying pathology.

Authors: Ibn-Mohammed Isah , Shitu Isyaku Shuaibu
Published: June 2022

Purpose: The word banditry and or Fulani or nomadic herdsmen and its usage in the Nigerian lexicon is a product of context, depending on who uses it and determined also by where the user is from. In Nigeria like elsewhere in the world, even the usage of words becomes political as the choice of its usage is determined by where an incident of banditry takes place or who is commenting about it.

Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper attempts to contextualize banditry and governments response to it, to do this the paper made use of extant literature and adopted the frustration-aggression displacement theory to explain why the essence of the social contract and Nigerians' constitutional provision stipulated in chapter II subsection 14(b) must be respected and guided.

Findings: The paper found put that among other things national security of every state is paramount, when a state becomes anything but secure the people would lose hope in the state when the people lose hope in the state they find solace in crime and criminality

Implications/Originality/Value: the paper concluded and recommended that government must first of all show genuine commitment to fighting criminal elements in the country in all guise.
Household catastrophic total cost due to tuberculosis in Egypt: incidence, cost drivers and policy implication
Authors: Gadallah Mohsen , Amin Wagdy , Rady Mervat
Published: June 2022

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease that disproportionately affects the poor. The World Health Organization lists economic factors as one of main barriers to tuberculosis management. Aims: This study aimed to estimate the household total catastrophic cost of TB and its determinants among newly diagnosed Egyptian tuberculous patients. Methods: This was a cohort prospective study covering 257 TB patients registered in 2019. The patients were followed up bi-monthly until the end of the treatment regimen (4 visits). A standardized questionnaire published by the poverty sub-working group of the Stop TB Partnership was used after minor modification. The following costs were measured: pre-diagnosis, direct and indirect, guardian and coping, as well as annual household income. Catastrophic cost (direct plus indirect) was considered if the total cost of TB treatment exceeded 20% of the household’s annual income. Sensitivity analyses were conducted using different thresholds. Results: The incidence of household total catastrophic cost was 24.1%. The mean total cost of TB treatment was US$ 198. Over 50% of the total direct cost was incurred during the pre-diagnosis period. After adjustment for other determinant variables using multivariable logistic regression, we found that age < 30 years, living in a house with crowding index > 2, poverty and coping were more likely to cause higher total catastrophic cost. Conclusions: Catastrophic cost was experienced by 1 out of every 4 new TB patients. As the main cost drivers were poverty and coping, the Ministry of Health and Population should be collaborated with Ministry of Finance and NGOs to put a plan of social protection system for poor families with TB patients.

Implikasi hukum penahanan validasi BPHTB terhadap developer sebagai wajib pajak mineral
Authors: Aslam Alvira , Saleng Abrar , Hasrul Muh
Published: June 2022

The results show that the Regional Government Polewali Mandar Regency has added housing developers to the taxpayers of NMMR to increase revenue from the lack of local revenue (LR) due to the income in the tax sector. Based on the research, the changing policies occurred because the Regent Regulation No. 13/2010 concerning NMMR Taxes did not explicitly stipulate who the taxpayers were to be subject to in the regulation, In addition, the lack of LR from the NMMR tax sector was caused by the rise of mining companies operating without Mining Business Permits (MBP). However, instead of controlling miners to increase revenue in the tax sector, the Government has instead designated housing developers as taxpayers of NMMR. In tax law, this policy breaches the principle of certainty which emphasizes the need for certainty regarding tax subjects and objects. In mining law, adding developers as taxpayers will only make unlicensed mining more prevalent. Meanwhile, in terms of housing and settlement law, this policy is detrimental to developers. Moreover, the existence of the delay of BPHTB if the developer refuses to become a taxpayer on NMMR taxes resulted in the developer being unable to process the contract and transfer the title.How to cite item: Aslam, A., Saleng, A Hasrul, M (2022).

Published: June 2022

In this study, taking into account the Aksu Stream data, daily total precipitation (P) and daily mean flow (Q) values were using time lagged, 8 different Rainfall-Runoff models were created and runoff value estimated for the future. The Rainfall-Runoff models have been tried with different methods and this methods performances compared for Rainfall-Runoff process. Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods, Artificial Neural Networks (ANN), Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and Heuristic Regression (HR) methods, Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) were used for describing the Rainfall-Runoff modelling. The performance of the methods is determined and compared with the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Correlation Coefficient (R) and Mean Absolute Error (MAE) coefficients. Although AI methods performance was very close, the lowest error value was obtained in the Rainfall-Runoff model created with the ANFIS method (RMSE=3.682, R=0.934, MAE=1.103). In the HR methods, the highest performance was observed on the Rainfall-Runoff model created with MARS (RMSE=3,101, R=0,952, MAE=1,302). In the performance evaluation, it was seen that HR methods have higher performance than AI methods for modelling Rainfall-Runoff process.

The paper analyzes the results of the effectiveness of the use of various systems of mineral fertilizers in the six-field crop rotation, obtained under conditions of long-term stationary experience for the period 1969-2018. The nature and degree of influence of the changing agro-climatic conditions of the Volga steppe zone on the productivity of crop rotation on both fertilized and non-fertilized variants of the experiment have been established. In the period from I-IV to V-VIII rotation, there was an increase in the sum of active temperatures for May-July, an increase in the average daily air temperature in July by an average of 1.1 °C, a decrease in hydrothermal coefficient values. The increase in aridity of the climate had a negative impact on the effectiveness of various fertilizer systems in the experiment. There is a tendency to decrease the productivity of crop rotation in the period from I-IV to V-VIII rotation. At the same time, there is an increase in the share of increases in the resulting crop from the use of mineral fertilizers. The most effective in the experiment were medium and high doses of nitrogen-phosphorus fertilizers.

One of the promising areas of fundamental and applied research is the study of plant stress resistance using natural and synthetic physiologically active substances. An increase in the germination capacity of plant seeds and the rate of their germination is achieved by treatment before sowing with aqueous solutions of biostimulants, which leads to the activation of biochemical processes, increases the energy of germination, and improves seed germination in conditions of increased soil salinity. The effect of the bacterial exopolysaccharide (EPS) of Streptococcus thermophilus in the form of a film coating on the stress resistance of sorghum (RSK Partizan, Volzhskoe 44, Zhemchug and RSK Onyx) was studied, the seedlings and roots of treated seeds were compared against seeds without treatment. A positive effect of the exopolysaccharide film was found at the early stages of plant development under conditions of an increased salt content in the soil (2% and 4%), which was expressed in an increase in the length of seedlings and roots.

Published: June 2022

Background:

Many of the effects of pneumoperitoneum on cardiovascular, respiratory and metabolic systems have been discussed in Literature, but very little is known about the variations of the hemocoagulative parameters in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery. The purpose of this study is to analyze the variations of the hemocoagulative parameters in patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy for symptomatic gallbladder stones. An eventual statistically significant difference linked to different pressure settings of pneumoperitoneum will allow selecting a specific intrabdominal pressure for a more adequate treatment with a lower incidence of pneumoperitoneum related complications.

Materials and Methods:

The clinical trial was conducted on 43 patients assigned in two groups based on the intra-abdominal pressure: group A, 27 patients, 12 mmHg, and group B, 16 patients, 8 mmHg. Hemoglobin, hematocrit, platelets count, PT ratio, aPTT, Fibrinogen, D-dimer, Von Willebrand factor, Factor II, Lupus Anticoagulant, Antithrombin III, Protein C, Protein S, Anticardiolipin IgG and IgM, anti-beta 2-Glicoprotein IgG and IgM were evaluated.

Results:

For group A, patient’s variations were observed for D-dimer, Factor II, von Willembrand factor and protein C reactive, while for patients belonging to group B the parameters most affected were PT ratio, anti-thrombin III and protein C reactive.

D-dimer values increased significantly in group A, a statistically significant decrease in anti-thrombin III levels was detected in group B, and a statistically significant difference in PT ratio in patients belonging to group B was observed.

Conclusion:

The statistical analysis showed no significant difference in the post-operative parameters when comparing the two groups of patients. Alterations of the coagulation parameters were present between pre- and post-operative data within the same group, namely a higher abdominal pressure is linked to a prothrombotic state. The question is worthy of further studies.

Animal Exercise: A New Evaluation Method
Authors: Qi Yu , Zhang Chongyang , Kameda Hiroyuki
Published: June 2022

At present, Animal Exercise courses rely too much on teachers' subjective ideas in teaching methods and test scores, and there is no set of standards as a benchmark for reference. As a result, students guided by different teachers have an uneven understanding of the Animal Exercise and cannot achieve the expected effect of the course. In this regard, the authors propose a scoring system based on action similarity, which enables teachers to guide students more objectively. The authors created QMonkey, a data set based on the body keys of monkeys in the coco dataset format, which contains 1,428 consecutive images from eight videos. The authors use QMonkey to train a model that recognizes monkey body movements. And the authors propose a new non-standing posture normalization method for motion transfer between monkeys and humans. Finally, the authors utilize motion transfer and structural similarity contrast algorithms to provide a reliable evaluation method for animal exercise courses, eliminating the subjective influence of teachers on scoring and providing experience in the combination of artificial intelligence and drama education.

Published: June 2022

This study was conducted to develop an in vitro propagation procedure for Byblis liniflora Salisb. The process of seed sterilization and in vitro sowing achieved 95% efficiency. From the material aseptic stem segments, the shoot proliferation program was determined with the rate of 33.67 shoots/explants after 4 weeks of culture on nutrient medium (1/3 strength MS basal salts plus full Morel and Wetmore’s vitamins) with addition of a mixture of cytokinin (0.5 mg/L Kin and 2 mg/L BA) and then transferred to culture for another 4 weeks on nutrient medium. The rooting program from aseptic stem segments was to culture in nutrient medium supplemented with 0.5 mg/L NAA for 8 weeks. To produce a complete plant, single shoot separated from the proliferative clusters was transferred to a culture flask containing nutrient medium and cultured for 4 weeks. The in vitro shoot developed more branches and self-rooted to form a complete plant. The suitable growing substrate in the acclimatization and outdoor stages was a mixture of peat moss and perlite (1 : 2 w/w). The climatic conditions of Ho Chi Minh City and the Southeast of Vietnam were suitable for growing Byblis liniflora trees outdoors all year round.
