Cross-border cooperation of Polish and Czech area-based partnerships supported by Rural Development Programmes: Genuinely international or solely national projects?
Authors: Furmankiewicz Marek , Trnková Gabriela
Published: July 2024

The literature on cross-border cooperation in Europe is predominated by the analysis of the European Union (EU) INTERREG Programmes’ results, while other support funds are often neglected. To fill this research gap, the authors undertook the research on cross-border cooperation of the area-based partnerships (Local Action Groups – LAGs) from Poland and the Czech Republic, financed by the Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) 2014–2020. The main purpose of our paper is to identify the rationales for cooperation, strategies to find partners, the scope of activities and obstacles in implementing the joint projects. The qualitative research involved a content analysis of LAG documents and interviews with LAG managers. The actions in twelve identified cooperation projects were mainly related to local traditions, inventory and the promotion of local products and services, the development of tourism and environmental issues. The respondents have emphasised that these actions required separate financing by national RDPs following different administrative rules, even though when constituting the components of a single project. The bureaucratic restrictions resulted in a clear asymmetry of LAGs activities, manifested in a lower involvement of the Czech LAGs. As a result, many projects can be considered as highly unilateral, solely national rather than genuinely international, which has not been the intention of the LAG managers, however.
Autonomy of Refugees from Ukraine —Tasks for Education in Poland
Authors: Śliwowski Tomasz
Published: July 2024

On February 24th, 2022, the situation in Ukraine changed dynamically due to political events that had a significant impact on the lives of many people. Among the most affected groups are women and children who, forced to flee the threat, have found shelter in Poland. Since then, many countries neighbouring Ukraine, including Poland, have faced the unique task of providing organised assistance and integration to these people. In this article, I present the situation of women and children of refugees from Ukraine, highlighting the challenges they face, as well as the hopes and initiatives that can help them rebuild their lives in a new environment. The role of Polish society, institutions and NGOs is becoming a key element of this process, which requires cooperation on many levels. In this article, I present an attempt to define the concept of autonomy and a sense of personal effectiveness, as well as the tasks that Polish education faced in order to help refugees create autonomy and agency in the new reality in two directions: the individual experiences of refugee women and the educational situation of their children.

Published: July 2024

The financial audit report is a valuable tool for ensuring financial transparency and integrity within a company. By presenting the audit results in detail, the report contributes to creating a relationship of trust between the company and its stakeholders. By evaluating procedures and systems, auditors can identify risks and deficiencies within the company, creating the opportunity for company management to act to improve processes by effectively managing resources and achieving set goals. Starting from the premise that by presenting correct and reliable financial information, the audit report provides management and shareholders with a solid basis for making well-informed and substantiated decisions, we set out to analyze the decision-makers’ perceptions of the role and importance of the financial audit for business continuity companies. The research is qualitative, as it is about the realization of a situation survey, based on a questionnaire within several companies, the respondents being their decision-makers. The conclusions of our study can be a starting point for carrying out research in the field, the issue of the reliability of the financial and accounting information presented in the financial reports remains topical, even though digitalization tends to capture the field of accounting and auditing as well, the standardization of information is one of the consequences this process.

The use of used vehicle tire waste which can generate profits in everyday life is an interesting discussion regarding the application of tire demolition material as one of the furniture elements in its application to interior design using Derrida's theory of deconstruction. This paper aims to discuss the process of deconstructing furniture in interior design. This paper is aimed at examining the theory of deconstruction in order to transform the meaning of an object from a four-wheeled vehicle tire. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, while the data collection methods used are online observation, online documentation and library search with a semiotic approach in interpreting the research object in the aspect of material exploration furniture deconstruction. The main literature refers to the Semiotic Language Philosophy Book by Prof. Dr. Kaelan and the theory of deconstruction by the philosopher Jacques Derrida. The results of research on semiotic studies with the theory of deconstruction that transform meaning by Derrida resulted in the conclusion that vehicle tire waste can be transformed by means of deconstruction theory by destruction and then reconstruction so as to produce a new meaning in the tire waste into a furniture stool in its application. This renewal can occur because of the transformation of the meaning of a four-wheeled vehicle tire that is damaged (damaged) resulting in a used tire whose meaning is reconstructed into a stool.

This study modified current bentonite with zinc oxide (ZnO) and investigated the performance of phenol adsorption. The material bentonite-ZnO was successfully synthesized and characterized with XRD, SEM-EDX, and FT-IR. The adsorption performance was determined by adsorption equilibrium, kinetics, and thermodynamic parameters. The adsorption, kinetic, and thermodynamic parameters were compared alternatively. The phenol adsorption capacity was obtained from Langmuir and Freundlich adsorption isotherm models, which for bentonite-ZnO was fit with both isotherm models (Langmuir R2 = 0.997 and Freundlich R2 = 0.9515) and was favourable than activated bentonite (n value bentonite-ZnO = 2.389; activated bentonite = 0.898). A kinetic model was tested with pseudo-first-order, pseudo-secondorder, and intraparticle diffusion models which bentonite-ZnO and activated bentonite fit in the pseudo-second-order with an excellent agreement (R2 = 0.999). Several thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, and bentonite-ZnO have an entropy more than zero (ΔS = 0.008 J/mol.K), which demonstrated the feasibility and spontaneity (ΔG<0) and endothermic nature (ΔH = 3.056 kJ/mol) of the phenol adsorption process. Several thermodynamic parameters such as enthalpy, Gibbs free energy, and bentonite-ZnO have an entropy more than zero (ΔS = 0.008 J/mol.K), which demonstrated the feasibility and spontaneity (ΔG < 0) and endothermic nature (ΔH = 3.056 kJ/mol) of the phenol adsorption process. Based on the result data in this article, modified bentonite with ZnO has increased the ability for phenol adsorption than currently activated bentonite
El barroco o el principio de la abstracción en la ciudad occidental: un acercamiento teórico a la representación del espacio como medio de control perceptual
Authors: Aguirre Franco Marcos de J.
Published: July 2024

La ciudad del barroco, con la simetría y linealidad de sus anchas vías confeccionadas para doblegar la mirada del transeúnte desatento, apeló a la abstracción matemática de la perspectiva focal suprimiendo la visión periférica del observador. De esta manera, la representación mental inclinada hacia el ideal de un espacio absoluto se fue introduciendo en la fenomenología del observador hasta usurpar la libertad de su mirada. El presente artículo analiza cómo la representación en perspectiva que influyó en la configuración del urbanismo renacentista y barroco mantuvo una profunda relación con el surgimiento de una nueva práctica social derivada de un capitalismo mercantil que en la última fase de la Europa medieval había adquirido ya cierta fortaleza. Aunque en un sentido teórico la invención de la perspectiva focal casi siempre se ubica en el Renacimiento florentino, es muy probable que su consolidación fuera una respuesta proveniente de algunas transformaciones sociales precedentes.

The Effectiveness of Legal Aid Standards for Suspects in the Indonesian Criminal Justice System in Achieving Access to Justice
Authors: Tri Utami Nurani Ajeng , Oktobrian Dwiki , Dwi Cahyani Enny , Turnip Gebi Emada , Safitri Fadia Rahma
Published: July 2024

The implementation of legal aid service standards, as outlined in Regulation No. 4 of 2021 by the Minister of Law and Human Rights of Indonesia, was expected to enhance the quality of legal aid services. However, in reality, suspects continue to experience inconsistent access to their rights, especially within the criminal justice system. This study aims to investigate the application of these standards across the police, prosecutor's office, and court sectors. Employing an empirical juridical approach with a qualitative and comparative study method, data was gathered through interviews and literature review, then analyzed using content and comparative analysis techniques. The findings reveal that the enforcement of legal aid service standards in the criminal justice system has been ineffective, marked by frequent violations of suspects' rights. These violations include providing indirect assistance, inadequate representation at various stages of trials, appointing advocates not affiliated with accredited LBH (Legal Aid Institute), and advocates displaying insufficient responsiveness and engagement in assisting suspects. Such violations significantly hinder suspects' access to justice within the criminal justice system.

Published: July 2024

O ovo de codorna é um alimento equilibrado e completo em nutrientes. No entanto, é importante o armazenamento adequado, visando minimizar a perda de todo esse potencial nutritivo apresentado. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a qualidade de ovos de codornas comercializados durante as estações de inverno e verão em diferentes estabelecimentos comerciais no município de Aquidauana - MS. Foram utilizados 960 ovos (480 em cada estação do ano), adquiridos em quatro diferentes estabelecimentos comerciais. As variáveis analisadas foram: peso do ovo (PO), unidade Haugh (UH), índice de gema (IG), cor de gema crua (COR), porcentagem de gema (PG), albúmen (PA) e casca (PCA), pH de gema (pHG) e albúmen (pHA), gravidade específica (GE) e espessura de casca (EC). Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância para verificar os efeitos dos fatores estudados e a comparação entre as médias dos tratamentos foi realizada por meio do teste de Tukey (p<0,05). A qualidade dos ovos reduziu no verão, influenciando negativamente as variáveis: PO, UH, PA e PG, sobretudo o pHA. Embora tenha sido prejudicada, a UH ainda apresentou valores considerados excelentes, com mínimo encontrado de 77,81. Houve também diferenças na qualidade dos ovos entre os estabelecimentos avaliados, com menores valores analisados no estabelecimento 1. Conclui-se que no verão os ovos são mais suscetíveis a perda de qualidade em relação ao inverno em estabelecimentos que armazenam os em temperatura ambiente.
Cruel Tales in the Magic Lantern: Traces of Macabre Plots in the Proust’s Novel
Authors: Laskina N.O. ,   Novosibirsk State Theatre Institute
Published: July 2024

French decadent fiction gives in its plots an important place to the transformations of the Gothic tradition: such key texts as Barbey d’Aurevilly’s “She-Devils”, Villiers de LisleAdam’s “Cruel Tales”, Rachilde’s “Mr. Venus” as well as the early novels of J.-K. Huysmans created a specific, type of macabre narrative, essentially different from the romantic gothic fiction. The article shows how Proust’s poetics, consciously aimed at completing and overcoming the fin de siècle culture, uses allusions to popular themes of the decadent Gothic – danse of the dead, automatons, female captives, demonic mentorship – freed from their fantastic framework and included in a more complex context. Proust’s strategies for citing predecessors transfer recognizable clichés from the plot to the discourse. Unlike Proust’s early prose, which did not hide the author’s dependence on his decadent teachers, the novel “In Search of Lost Time” constructs a moving system of hints scattered throughout the text, in which only flickering traces remain of the sources. The living dead, dolls and masks exist only in the speech of the narrator and some characters, but they inevitably add ambiguity and a dark shade to everyday situations and create tragicomic effects. The banal episodes of the life of the narrator and Albertine are colored by obsessive repetitions of variations of the word “violence”, and by unexpected thoughts about death. The memory of the arrival of the narrator’s friend from the front turns into a description of a superhuman body marked with signs of death, and then into an apocalyptic picture. Various characters are accompanied by references to crime, guilt, masks, fear of exposure, not motivated by the plot. The narrator himself constantly betrays his fascination with horrifying themes, and the scenes that his memory recreates like a magic lantern are often painted in macabre tones. It can also be assumed that Proust’s reworking of decadent themes allows him to create an additional level of metapoetics, hinting at sinister subtexts both in the plot of the novel and in the properties of the narrator.
Deep learning models to classify skeletal growth phase on 3D radiographs
Authors: Ameli Nazila , Lagravere Manuel Oscar , Lai Hollis
Published: July 2024

Objectives:

Cervical vertebral maturation (CVM) is widely used to evaluate growth potential in orthodontics. This study aims to develop an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that automatically predicts the CVM stages in terms of growth phases using cone-beam computed tomography images.

Material and Methods:

A total of 30,016 slices were obtained from 56 patients with an age range of 7–16 years. After cropping the region of interest, a convolutional neural network (CNN) was built to classify the slices based on the presence of a good vision of vertebrae. The output was used to train another model capable of categorizing the slices into phases of growth, which were defined as Phase I (prepubertal), Phase II (circumpubertal), and Phase III (postpubertal). After training the model, 88 new images were used to evaluate the performance of the model using multi-class classification metrics.

Results:

The average classification accuracy of the first and second CNN-based deep learning models was 96.06% and 95.79%, respectively. The multi-class classification metrics also showed an overall accuracy of 84% for predicting the growth phase in unseen data. Moreover, Phase I ranked the highest accuracy in terms of F1-score (87%), followed by Phase II (83%) and Phase III (80%).

Conclusion:

Our proposed models could automatically detect the C2–C4 vertebrae and accurately classify slices into three growth phases without the need for annotating the shape and configuration of vertebrae. This will result in the development of a fully automatic and less complex system with reasonable performance.

Authors: Mahendiran Aathirai , Potharaju Mahadev , Chandrasekhar Sanjay
Published: July 2024

Objectives

The aim of this study is to evaluate swallowing dysfunction at baseline (before radiotherapy), at one month and three months post-radiotherapy and to assess time taken for these parameters to come back to normal in head and neck cancer patients.

Material and methods

Total 30 patients who received radiotherapy for head and neck cancer, either as inpatients or outpatients, at Apollo Speciality Hospital, Chennai from June 2022 and May 2023 (1 year). Laryngeal sensation and pharyngeal swallowing before radiotherapy, at one month and three months post-radiotherapy assessed using penetration aspiration scale (PAS Scale), bolus residue scale (BRS Scale) and subjective assessment using eating assessment tool-10 (EAT-10) questionnaire and assess time it take to come to normal

Results

The EAT-10,PAS and BRS scores were analysed by multivariate analysis. All these scores showed a definite improvement from baseline (Before Radiotherapy) to three months Post-RT. Further more our study predicts the hazard ratio, through which the exact percentage and number of days of one variable compared with other variable, to come back to normal can be predicted. EAT-10 scores showed the influence of age and RT dose. More the age and higher the dose more time is taken for the scores to return back to normal. In PAS and BRS males took a longer time for the scores to come back to normal, whereas patients with >60 years of age (categorical) and every year increase in age (Continuous) took a longer time to return back to normal of PAS and BRS scores respectively.

Conclusion

It is possible to predict the number of days it takes for the EAT-10, PAS and BRS score to return back to normal. So that we can initiate preventive measures like swallowing exercises, nutritional advise and Ryles tube insertion at the earliest for those who may develop swallowing complications, to enhance the quality of life for these patients.
Quality of Life Determinants among Breast Cancer Women Undergoing Treatment in Indonesia: A Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Sukarno Anita , Dewi Ratna , Kurnia Melati Putri , Kalalo Sherlly
Published: July 2024

Objectives:

Breast cancer affects millions of women worldwide, including Indonesia and brings a burden on many aspects, especially quality of life. This study investigated the influence of demographic characteristics, psychological distress and physical activity levels on quality of life among breast cancer women undergoing therapy in Indonesia.

Materials and Methods:

This cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 breast cancer women. We used the Indonesian version of depression, anxiety, stress scales, international physical activity questionnaires and World Health Organization Quality of Life-BREF to evaluate psychological distress, physical activity levels and quality of life. Descriptive, bivariate and multiple linear regressions were applied.

Results:

Study participants had moderate quality of life scores. Approximately 22% of the variance in physical health was explained by family history, depression and physical activity. Having a family history is associated with better psychological health (ß = 5.32, P = 0.04). In contrast, experienced moderate to severe depressive symptoms contributed to lower environment domains (ß = −6.30, P = 0.02). Furthermore, having a low level of physical activity was the only significant factor influencing all domain scores, including physical health (β = −24.82, P < 0.001), psychological health (β = −19.72, P < 0.001), social relation (β= −16.91, P < 0.001) and environment (β = −13.91, P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

Physical activity levels are the strongest determinant of quality of life among breast cancer women in Indonesia. Nurses should not only widen information access regarding breast cancer, especially for patients with genetic risk, but also should early screen for depressive symptoms and develop strategies to motivate patients to increase their physical activity to escalate breast cancer patient’s quality of life.

Authors: Maier II Stephen P , Pikowski Matthew D , Dean Emmanuel J , Jackson Edward R
Published: July 2024

Quadriceps tendon ruptures can substantially diminish the quality of life for patients, imposing significant functional limitations and persistent pain if untreated. Re-injuring the tendon post-fixation presents further surgical challenges, often complicated by scar tissue development and compromised vascular integrity. In this technical note, we describe a novel technique for revising quadriceps tendon fixation failures using an Achilles tendon allograft through bone tunnels and an augmentation with a trans-tendinous pseudo-Pulvertaft weave. Our technique aims to enhance structural integrity and reduce re-injury risk, offering an effective operative solution to challenges associated with quadriceps tendon re-ruptures.

The paper presents an analytical solution for calculation of production rates of multilateral horizontal wells for five- and seven-spot injection systems. The equations are used for mature fields. The equations were derived to estimate production rates and to place horizontal wells most effectively for five- and seven-spot dispersed injection systems. In particular, the equations can be used for five-spot injection systems to select an optimal length of a horizontal wellbore section in the net pay, and to determine the number of laterals in mathematical equations providing for substitution of a horizontal well for a vertical well.

Проанализированы методы, позволяющие определить или уточнить давление смыкания трещины гидроразрыва, найденное по минифраку. К ним относятся методы импульсной закачки во время спада давления и определения гидравлического импеданса. Показаны их возможности и способы осуществления. Данные методы могут оказаться полезными при ГРП в сланцевых отложениях, где обычные методики интерпретации минифрака могут оказаться малоэффективными, поскольку давление падает очень медленно и период спада давления оказывается длительным. Применять их также целесообразно в условиях, когда обычные методики не позволяют идентифицировать давление смыкания.

Methods to determine or to specify fracture closure pressure from minifrac have been analyzed. These include methods of pulse injection while pressure decline and determination of hydraulic impedance. Potential and practical application of the methods have been demonstrated. These methods may prove useful for hydrofrac treatments of shale rocks, where common minifrac interpretation procedures are ineffective because of the long period of pressure decline. They are also worth considering when common methods fail to identify fracture closure pressure.

The article discusses the calculation methods of thermo-physical interaction processes in the system "permafrost-well" in view of the physical and geological factors of oil wells. To explore these questions, calculations were made to determine the effect of the heat transfer coefficient on the value of the radius of the thawing of rocks around the well at a fixed temperature heat. The developed model allows calculations for computational domain consisting of various components. Numerical simulation results allow us to make long-term forecasts by thawing perennially frozen rocks and make recommendations by well insulation.
