Authors: Maulida Ika , Bustamam Nurfitri , Astari Riezky Valentina , Lardo Soroy
Published: January 2024

The study results of 2020 reported that as many as 16% of COVID-19 survivors experience changes in their menstrual cycles. This study aimed to describe the menstruation cycle among COVID-19 survivors at The Faculty of Medicine, University Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jakarta. This is an analytical study using a retrospective design. The sample size consisted of 32 subjects who met the criteria of being confirmed with COVID-19 within the past year, aged 18-24 years, normoweight, unmarried, and without a history of illness or the use of hormonal contraception that affects the menstrual cycle. Data was collected using a questionnaire. The results of the univariate analysis indicate that out of the subjects, 18 (56.3%) had received three doses of vaccination, 21 (65.6%) had received the first and second doses of the Sinovac vaccine, 31 (96.9%) experienced mild symptoms (home isolation) during the COVID-19 infection, and 9 (28.1%) had been infected with COVID-19 twice. Changes in menstrual cycles experienced by subjects 0-6 months after being infected with COVID-19 included two subjects with prolonged cycles, three subjects with shortened cycles, one subject with decreased menstrual blood volume, one subject with increased menstrual duration, five subjects experiencing menstrual pain, and two subjects experiencing bleeding between two cycles. A total of 8 subjects reported that these changes in menstrual cycles were recurring. The Chi-square exact test result indicates there was a relationship between the frequency of COVID-19 infection and the number of menstrual cycle changes (p = 0.022).
International standards and domestic legislation on human organ donation and transplantation
Authors: Ismayilova Parvina
Published: January 2024

The article analyzes international standards for the quality and safety of organs for transplantation. Azerbaijan, like other countries, strictly prohibits organ trade. It criminalized the forcible removal of organs, fraud or coercion, and the buying or selling of organs. The objective of the work is to analyze the Oviedo Convention and the Council of Europe Convention on Combating Trafficking in Human Organs, as well as other legal acts, in comparison with the criminal and administrative laws of Azerbaijan. To achieve the objectives of the research, the author of the article used such methods as analysis and synthesis, the formal-legal method and the comparative-legal method. As a result of the research carried out, it was concluded that Azerbaijan should improve its relevant legislation taking into account the norms of these conventions. In particular, the State's priority should be to emphasize the donation of artificial organs and tissues instead of human donation.
Analysis of the role and use of prefixes in word formation in modern german compared to english
Authors: Maharramova Malahat
Published: January 2024

The aim of the paper is to formulate and summarise the research on word formation in German in comparison with English. The literature review made it possible to conduct a typological analysis of word formation rules in German and English to classify the scope of current research in this area. The results showed that the paradigm shift of recent years has led to increased attention to issues related to language use and empirical issues, theories, and methods of word formation not only from a synchronic perspective but also from a diachronic one. The fact that words are formed distinguishes them from a competing process, phrase formation, in which phrases, i.e., groups of words, form collocations rather than words, i.e., groups of words to verbalise concepts. Since a phrase verbalises a concept in the same way as a word, these two methods compete both at the intra- and inter-linguistic levels. We conclude that it is the potential of word formation that distinguishes modern language from primitive language. The comparative compilation of German and English word formation models has led us to the typology of language.

Published: January 2024

The study deals with the analysis of administrative and legal methods used in EU countries to fight corruption among public authorities. Fighting corruption is critically important for ensuring transparency and accountability, good governance, and achieving the effectiveness of management actions. The aim of the article is to determine the effectiveness of administrative and legal methods used in the EU countries to fight corruption among public authorities based on the implementation of the good governance principles. The research methodology provided for the use of the methods of contextual analysis, comparison, and graphic correlation. The study outlined the necessary measures: improving legislation on the status of public authorities, the responsibility of public officials, introducing egovernance models and the concept of Good governance among public authorities of EU member states. It was found that the application of administrative and legal methods in the system of public administration is not enough for the implementation of anti-corruption policy, because corruption in the EU goes beyond the borders of one country and its law enforcement. In view of the expanding manifestations of corruption, implementation of effective administrative and legal methods of fighting corruption is an urgent task for public authorities and leading EU institutions. The specified will require a systemic approach, robust anticorruption institutions, and the establishment of legal anti-corruption mechanisms.

Published: January 2024

The spread of disinformation in digital communication causes anti-democratic behaviour among Internet users, which may threaten national security. The aim of the study was to determine the legal means of combating disinformation on the Internet as the main factor in shaping antisocial behaviour in terms of digital content. This issue was studied using the methods of comparative analysis, system logical analysis and doctrinal approach, as well as empirical and theoretical methods. Legal means of combating disinformation in cyberspace are means aimed at detecting and removing manipulative information from the information space. The state information policy aimed at combating fakes should ensure the transparency of digital platforms, improve the digital literacy of society, and establish monitoring and control over the information flow in cyberspace. International information standards oblige developers of social networks and digital platforms to create accessible and safe content for their users to combat disinformation in cyberspace. The results of the study are useful for governments in the context of the formation of an effective state system of means of combating fake news.

Massima
La notifica della cartella di pagamento al trust, anche se effettuata nelle mani del trustee, è illegittima, poiché è il trustee, non il trust, ad essere il soggetto che risponde dei diritti e dei rapporti inerenti al trust nei confronti dei terzi - ivi inclusa la pubblica amministrazione - in quanto titolare dei diritti conferiti nel trust.
L’imposizione delle liberalità indirette attuate mediante trasferimenti di disponibilità finanziarie (Cass. 24 febbraio 2023, n. 5802)
Authors: Sabbi Luca
Published: January 2024

Tesi
Permangono dubbi sulla sopravvivenza dell’art. 56-bis del TUSD in quanto norma non compatibile con il rinvio previsto dall’art. 2, comma 50 del D.L. n. 262 del 2006.
Appare corretta l’impostazione della Corte di cassazione che legittima l’imposizione tributaria a prescindere dalla forma utilizzata per il trasferimento liberale o gratuito di ricchezza senza distinguere tra fattispecie dirette e indirette in quanto fatti che manifestano una capacità contributiva.
Non convince, per ragione di coerenza sistematica, l’accertamento di liberalità indirette attraverso l’adeguamento dell’aliquota del 7% prevista dall’art. 56-bis del TUSD all’aliquota oggi prevista dell’8% e prevedendo un sistema di franchigie identico a quello previsto in ragione dei vari rapporti di parentela. Ciò perché si snatura la funzione “sanzionatoria” del comma 1 e 2 della medesima disposizione.
The author’s view
Doubts remain about the survival of the art. 56-bis of the TUSD as a rule that appears not compatible with the regulatory referral provided for by art. 2, paragraph 50 of the Legislative Decree. n. 262 of 2006.
It appears correct the Court of cassation approach that legitimizes the taxation of the transfers regardless of the form used and without distinguishing between direct and indirect cases because they are facts that demonstrate an ability to pay.
For reasons of systematic coherence, it doesn’t convince the assessment of indirect gifts through the adjustment of the 7% rate provided for by art. 56-bis of the TUSD at the currently envisaged rate of 8% and providing for a system of exemptions identical to that envisaged based on the various family relationships. This is because the “sanctioning” function of paragraphs 1 and 2 of the same provision is, thus, distorted.
Propuesta de un modelo predictivo para el déficit de atención en adultos jóvenes de Colombia y sus posibles comorbilidades
Authors:   Universidad de la Sabana, Quiroz Padilla María Fernanda , Garzón Rodríguez Nicolás ,   Universidad de la Sabana, Flores Lázaro Julio César ,   Universidad Autónoma de México, Nicolini Humberto ,   Universidad Autónoma de México
Published: January 2024

A lo largo de los años, se han identificado diversos problemas en el ejercicio diagnóstico del trastorno por déficit de atención adulto (TDA-A), debido a que solo existe unanimidad en los criterios de corte clínico-conductual. El estudio propone un modelo predictivo que permita integrar una valoración de medición neurocognitiva a nivel atencional, junto con las características propias de la personalidad y el abordaje neuropsiquiátrico, el cual incorpora las posibles comorbilidades con los síntomas y signos clásicos de los cribados de TDAH e impulsividad. Metodología: La muestra total fue de 102 participantes con edades entre los 18 y 25 años, tomados de un estudio en desarrollo acerca de la caracterización genómica dimensional de la atención y las funciones ejecutivas en personas con TDA-A. Los participantes fueron distribuidos en tres grupos muestrales (TDA-A, Queja atencional y Control) de acuerdo con una sesión de exploración neuropsiquiátrica y desarrollando pruebas de cribado, una entrevista diagnóstica semiestructurada y una prueba de desempeño atencional para corroborar la existencia del TDA-A desde la presencia de signos y síntomas asociados a este, pero también desde la evaluación del desempeño en tareas de alta demanda atencional. Resultados: El modelo sugiere que la presencia de problemas internalizados es posiblemente un factor de predicción adecuado para las manifestaciones del TDA-. Asimismo, las medidas implementadas para la evaluación discriminan apropiadamente la aparición de este trastorno. Conclusión: Se identifican aspectos que confirman la importancia de la valoración neuropsicológica y psiquiátrica estableciendo un análisis tripartito entre los rasgos de personalidad, las comorbilidades asociadas a trastornos emocionales y la ejecución en tareas atencionales. Con esto, no solo, mejora la comprensión del TDA-A sino también de la psicopatología actual, llevando al desarrollo de métodos diagnósticos más sensibles y específicos a las problemáticas de cada persona.

Published: January 2024

Introduction: Anemia and malnutrition are common health problems in developing countries with children being most vulnerable. They have
negative impact on human performance, growth and development, both as cause and consequence of disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate
the malnourishment causing anemia in children aged between 6 months to 5 years of age. Material and methods: The retrospective study was
done in Dr. Vitthalrao Vikhe Patil Pravara Rural Hospital, Loni over a period of two years from September 2015 to September 2017 between the age
group of 6 months to 5 years admitted with anemia of hemoglobin <7 gm/dl were included in this study and previously diagnosed
hemoglobinopathies were excluded Result: Out of total 7562 patients 300 cases of severe anemia, Of which 68.3%(205) were severely
malnourished and 29.7%(89) were moderately malnourished. There is statistical signicance (p<0.02) comparison with the sex it is found that
64.6% (84) males and 71.2%(121) females had severe malnourishment while 32.3% (42) male and 27.6%(47) female had moderate
malnourishment. And more prone age group is 3-5years when compared between 6m to 5years. Conclusion: This study revealed that there is
signicant association of anemia and malnutrition. Severe anemia is more common in severe acute malnutrition. Females are more prone than
males. Action should be taken from the time of birth and continues scrutiny of anthropometrical measurements with regular checkups and
nutritional counselling is mandatory with high risk children.
COMPARISON OF IV DEXMEDETOMIDINE AND IV MAGNESIUM SULPHATE IN ATTENUATING HAEMODYNAMIC EXTUBATION RESPONSE AFTER GENERAL ANAESTHESIA
Authors: S. A. Chandane , D. R. Gangurde
Published: January 2024

Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective alpha 2 adrenoceptor and an imidazole derivative. The study aims to evaluate and compare the efcacy of
intravenous dexmedetomidine and intravenous magnesium sulphate to attenuate the hemodynamic response after general anaesthesia & also the
side effect of both. This is prospective, randomised, double-blind comparative study. About 60 eligible study subjects participate were enrolled and
divided randomly into two groups, with 30 in each group (Group D & Group M). Decrease in heart rates in Groups D was more signicant than
Group M (p<0.015). The fall in systolic BP, Diastolic BP & MAP in Groups D was not statistically signicant than Group M (p > 0.05). Sedation
score was comparable between both groups statistically insignicant till before extubation. At the time of extubation, 1 minute and 3 minutes after
extubation sedation score was signicantly increased in group D as compared to group M (p <0.0001). In present study we observed better
haemodynamic stability with Magnesium sulphate and there was no postoperative sedation, and Dexmedetomidine group showed signicant fall
in HR (more than 20% of baseline), SBP, DBP, MAP. Dexmedetomidine showed more sedation as compared to magnesium sulphate and sedation
persisted in post-operative period also. we conclude that better haemodynamic stability was maintained by Magnesium sulphate without adverse
effects, whereas Dexmedetomidine group showed fall in HR, SBP more than 20% of baseline and more post-operative sedation.
ANTIBIOTIC SUSCEPTIBILITY PATTERN OF SALMONELLA SPP. AMONG BLOOD CULTURE–POSITIVE ISOLATES IN A TERTIARY CARE PEDIATRIC HOSPITAL IN THE NATIONAL CAPITAL REGION DELHI DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

Published: January 2024

Background Drug resistant Salmonella poses a challenge for the treatment of typhoid fever globally. Understanding the current antimicrobial
susceptibility pattern of Salmonella in the National Capital Region Delhi will help to understand the prevalent antibiotic resistance in this population in
this region. This study included a total of 366 ch Methods ildren with suspected typhoid fever from 2020 to 2021. The automated BACT/ALERT system
was used to perform blood culture. Antimicrobial susceptibility was determined with the Vitek 2 Compact. Serotyping was done by Salmonella antisera.
Results Out of 366 isolates, 31 were identied as Salmonella spp., comprising 24 isolates of S.Typhi and seven isolates S.Paratyphi. Two isolates were
multidrug-resistant, whereas the rest were susceptible to at least one rst-line antibiotics (i.e., ampicillin, cotrimoxazole, or chloramphenicol). Among
the uoroquinolones, the rates of ciprooxacin, peoxacin, and nalidixic acid resistance were 70.9%, 80.6%, and 96.7%, respectively. Among the thirdgeneration cephalosporins, ceftriaxone and cefotaxime were sensitive in 96.7% and 83.3% of isolates, respectively. Only 42 % of the isolates were
sensitive to azithromycin, whereas 58% were resistant. Among the carbapenems, all but one isolate was found to be sensitive, as it was intermediate to
imipenem. Our results showed an increase in suscept Conclusions ibility for rst-line antibiotics due to prolonged non-use. The higher rate of
azithromycin resistance can be attributed to over-use during the COVID pandemic, which led to resistant strains being more prevalent in the study
region. It requires the immediate attention of microbiologists, clinicians, and policymakers. The one imipenem intermediate isolate is a cause of
concern, as Carbapenem Resistant Enterobaterales is already currently a big treatment challenge.
ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION AMONG KIDNEY AND URINARY BLADDER CANCER PATIENTS UNDERGOING SURGERY.
Authors: Prabhakar Richha , Prabhakar Rajat , Raghunatha Rao Dharmapuri
Published: January 2024

Cancer is a Life threatening disease that can take an emotional and psychological toll on patients. As cancer patients cope with the physical and
emotional effects of their disease, they may experience anxiety, depression, or other mental health problems. This study aimed to assess the levels
of anxiety and depression in patients with bladder and renal cancer following surgery. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the urology
department of a tertiary care hospital in New Delhi. A standardised anxiety and depression questionnaire was lled by participants to assess the
severity of their symptoms. A sample of 100 post-surgery cancer patients in total (50 with bladder cancer and 50 with renal cancer) took part in the
study. According to the ndings, both bladder and renal cancer patients who underwent surgery reported higher than usual levels of anxiety and
sadness. However, the data analysis showed that renal cancer patients experienced signicantly more anxiety and depression than those with
bladder cancer. These ndings emphasise the value of psychological interventions and support for these cancer patients who may be more prone to
suffering from distressing psychological symptoms. By implementing focused mental health programs and counselling services, it may be possible
to lessen the burden of anxiety and depression in these patients, improving their general well-being and quality of life throughout their cancer
journey. Further investigation is required to determine the underlying causes of the differences in anxiety and depression between bladder and renal
cancer patients and to provide tailor made strategies for psychological support.
CADAVERIC STUDY OF RENAL PELVIS AND URETER: ITS INCIDENCE, TYPES AND APPLIED IMPORTANCE
Authors: Saha Ankana
Published: January 2024

Introduction – The ureters are muscular ducts, around 25-30 cm in length, with narrow lumina. These ureters drain urine from the corresponding
kidney to the urinary bladder. The ureters have two segments: abdominal and pelvic. Congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract including
double ureter are uncommon developmental anomalies. Duplication of ureter results from early splitting of ureteric bud. Double ureters can be
classied as complete and incomplete. Incomplete duplication is three times more common than complete. to study the pattern of pelvis and Aimureter in human cadavers. 1) to observe the anatomy of renal pelvis, 2) to study the bra Objectives- Materials And nching pattern of ureter.
Methods- a total of 40 kidney and ureter specimens were carefully dissected out of the posterior abdominal wall and examined for the presence and
subtype of double ureter. Of 40 kidneys, only 1 specimen showed an incomplete double urete Results- r and it is on the right kidney. In the specimen,
the double ureter fused at different levels to form a single ureter opening into the bladder. the prevalence of incomplete double ureter is Conclusionaverage in this study compared with that in previous cadaveric studies. Ureteral injuries are a frequent complication of abdominal and pelvic
surgeries. Hence, awareness about the types and varieties of ureters will aid radiologists and surgeons in interpreting and diagnosing urological

Reflecting upon the Role of Teacher in the Cross-Border Territory
Authors: Baloh Barbara , Bratož Silva
Published: January 2024

Teachers in cross-border regions are constantly exposed to situations which are characterised by a rich linguistic and cultural diversity. The article presents the model of cross-border classrooms which was developed in the project EDUKA2. A special emphasis is paid to the role of teacher as reflective practitioner which presupposes knowledge, skills and personality traits necessary for meeting the challenges of the contemporary classroom. The empirical part presents the results of a study aimed at encouraging teachers to reflect upon their teaching and critically examine which changes they could implement in their work on the basis of the knowledge and experiences gained during the project training activities. The results indicate that the teachers are well aware of the benefits provided by the cross-border territory and are willing to implement changes in their teaching practice.
Teaching Minority Literature: the Case of Trieste
Authors: Toroš Ana
Published: January 2024

The paper presents the guidelines for teaching minority literature in the Trieste area, namely at the Slovenian and Italian high schools in Trieste. The teaching method proposed was created as a result of the need for new approaches in teaching literature due to the increasing heterogeneity of the population of high school students. The method takes into account the specific factors characteristic of the Triestine literary system, which affect the production and reception of literature in the Trieste area, that is the turbulent history of this territory during the 20th century and thus also the presence of various traumatic collective memories and postmemories present in this area. Considering these facts, the new teaching method is based on memory studies and literary imagology. In terms of the selection of literary texts it shifts from the nationally prescribed literature curriculum towards regional comparative literature.
Dimensions of Remote Learning during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Minority Language Schools (The Case of Austrian Carinthia)
Authors: Zorčič Sabina
Published: January 2024

Based on a survey conducted among teachers in three schools in Austrian Carinthia where the language of instruction is (also) Slovene, the article examines the impact of remote learning between March and June – i.e. during the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic – on a possible deterioration of students’ language skills. The results also bring new data and insight into teachers’ language accommodation. The results confirm the predominance of reading and writing communication with a minimum use of audiovideo technology. The lower input of verbal communication mainly affected students with (strongly) unbalanced linguistic competence in both languages of instruction. Education is an important factor in reducing inequalities in society; thus, as long as remote learning increases inequality, this form of education should be pursued with some reservations.
Border as Method: Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Border Area between Italy and Slovenia and on the Slovene Minority in Italy
Authors: Pahor Marija Jurić
Published: January 2024

The first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated that the “border as method” (Mezzarda & Neilson) is paradigmatically established and proliferates in the borderland of a nation-state. Analysing the prevailing political, media and public discourse and focusing on the border area between Italy and Slovenia, the article illustrates that borders are not located only on the edges of a territory, but also extend inside and outside such. They are part of broader social processes of border internalisation in the management of population movements. During the pandemic, the tendency to strengthen control of the Schengen border and of the border between Italy and Slovenia gained new impetus. The border was invoked in relation to the risk of infection, thus implying adiaphorisation and exclusion (“We are not Italy!”), and also as the locus that – particularly among the Slovene minority and the people living along the border – raised awareness about the need for empathic, cross-border and European integration in the sense of transcending national borders.
Emotional Aspects in the Choice of the Language Code among Slovene Writers in Italy
Authors: Cergol Jadranka
Published: January 2024

The article explores the choice of language code among Slovene writers in Italy. During the last decade, there has been a shift in the choice of language, just like among Slovenes in Austrian Carinthia, as some writers choose to write either in their second language or language of the environment or opt for bilingual or translingual writing. In the article, the author connects this phenomenon with psycholinguistic theories on the emotional aspects of language code choice, proving that there are different levels of emotional experience of language, which of course is influenced by very different (both internal and external) factors. Since there are many responses to the literary multilingual phenomenon and because the authors themselves justify their choice in various forms, the article attempts to frame and explain it based on the findings of the psychology of multilingual speakers on the example of Slovene writers in Italy.
Slovene as a Minority and Foreign Language in Italian Mainstream Schools in the Province of Trieste
Authors: Cavaion Irina Moira
Published: January 2024

This paper describes the history, presence, actions and perspective of Slovene language teaching and learning in Italian primary mainstream schools in the province of Trieste as an extraordinary opportunity – after 30 years of Slovenia’s independence and almost 25 years of open borders – to reflect on the role of Slovene as a minority and foreign language among the majority population of neighbouring Italy, on the interethnic relationships it fosters, and on its potential to become an element of identity awareness development within the process of identity formation for both the kin state Slovenia homeland and the Slovene community in Trieste.

Increase distribution of heavy metal and its compound in the environment, especially through anthropogenic and natural activity, raises increasing concern for toxicological effects. The present study was based on the fact that Ni and Cr elements are important as the environmental factor produce the male genital system abnormalities. 35 male mice (10 weeks old) were randomly divided into seven groups 5 animals for each group, group 1 served as control received tap water, group 2,3 and 4 received (20, 40, and 60 mg/kg of Nicl2 respectively), while group 5,6 and 7 received (20, 60, and 100 mg/kg of K2Cr2O7 respectively). The results showed a high significant decrease (P≤0.0001) in the sperm count of male mice for intermediate and high dose treated with Nicl2 (II) as compared with control group, while no any significant differences between the lowest doses as compared with control group. The result showed a high significant difference (P≤0.0001) in the percentage of sperm abnormalities for intermediate and high dose treated with Nicl2 (II) as compared with control group. Also the result showed a high significant difference (P≤0.0001) in the sperm count for all groups treated with different doses of K2Cr2O7 (VI) as compared with control group. About percentage of sperm abnormalities the result showed a high significant difference (P≤0.0001) in the percentage of sperm abnormalities for intermediate and high dose treated as compared with control group.

Authors: A.H AlObaidi Laith
Published: January 2024

Defensins protein plays an important role in innate immune defense against infectious diseases in animals and plants. In our study and for the first time, common wheat (Triticum aestivum) defensin gene was fully characterized. The protein encodes from a signal peptide region of 25 amino acids. Homology searches showed that T. aestivum defensin have a highest identity (72-64 %) with other defensin selected sequences. A multiple sequence alignment indicates very well highly conserved regions include eight cystiene residues, α-helix, loop, and β-sheet. A phylogenetic analysis of the T. aestivum defensin gene sequence among other plant defensin sequences further confirmed that the T. aestivum sequence is very closely related to Triticum durum defensin sequences, and thus, is likely to have the same expressed structure and function. Moreover, the recombinant defensin protein was expressed in vitro and it show a strong antifungal activity against pathogenic strain Puccinia striiformis. Our study indicate that recombinant defensin protein may be a powerful tool for common wheat treatment.

The article studies the best effect of organic oxygen-containing esters on the octane number of petroleum fuels obtained as pre-medicines and analyzes their physical and mechanical properties. The impact of the proposed additives that help to raise the octane numbers E-1, E-2, and E-3 on the octane number of fuel was studied in two ways: research and motor. Preliminary findings show that the proposed additives have a positive effect on the octane number compared to analogues. Based on the results of experimental tests, it was proven that the additives can be used to raise the octane number of fuels. When introducing additives based on organic esters E-1, E-2, and E-3 into reformed gasoline, their efficiency in terms of octane number was determined to be 0.1–1.1 units higher than that of analogues by research and motor methods.
