Authors: Krstić Boro , Šljivić Jasmina , Tomić Ljiljana , Bataveljić Dragan
Published: August 2024

The quality and safety of provided services are crucial aspects of the success of any institution, including healthcare facilities and the overall healthcare system of a particular country. This work emphasizes the fundamental provisions of healthcare regulations, where standards of quality and safety represent the primary determinants of successful healthcare service delivery. The authors believe that respecting patients' rights constitutes a significant segment in enhancing the quality and safety of healthcare. They argue that the Law on Healthcare of Republika Srpska is largely aligned with the basic principles observed in neighboring countries' healthcare sectors. The study employed a method of analyzing positive legal regulations, along with a comparative approach in comparing legal systems of neighboring countries. The new Law on Healthcare of Republika Srpska has established a nominally greater number of patient rights compared to previous regulations, thereby leading to a more effective and secure healthcare service provided by healthcare institutions and professionals. Additionally, the chapter of the Law on Healthcare of Republika Srpska that regulates patient rights, quality, and safety of healthcare is reasonably harmonized with the positive regulations governing these issues in Serbia and Croatia.

Defining the company's CSR strategy based on public opinion regarding philanthropy
Authors: Trišić Marko , Skorup Ana , Skorup Srđan
Published: August 2024

Many companies tend to assume the public's view of their business by projecting their own, particularly positive, opinion onto the public's opinion. That is especially alarming considering how many results of previous public opinion surveys indicate that companies with a tendency to have a rising opinion of their actions on one side have a declining public opinion on the other. Because of this, serious companies invest in developing and using customized public relations strategies that fit their situation and needs best. These needs are met from the inside, via the specialized public relations departments, or from the outside, by doing business with professional agencies offering consulting services to various customers. No matter the choice between these two approaches, the primary method is always based on measuring current public opinion, creating specific actions and messages to particular audiences, and analyzing the results that would bring new information to improve future outcomes. In addition to following selected models and strategies, following the latest and most popular trends dictated by public opinion is also necessary. Highfunctioning corporate social responsibility is the most sought-after attribute modern societies expect from companies in a competitive marketplace. Out of the four pillars defining contemporary corporate social responsibility, through economic, legal, ethical, and philanthropic responsibilities, philanthropic awareness and actions are most precious for a company seeking to build a reputation founded on generosity and social consciousness.

Authors: Pavićević Nina , Ćosić Milivoje , Iraki X.N.
Published: August 2024

The aim of this paper to analyze the potential influence and correlation between innovation parameters and economic growth in Serbia from 2012 to 2021. This study aims to analyzing the potential influence and correlation between innovation parameters and economic growth in Serbia from 2012 to 2021. By using multiple linear regressions (MLR), it is determined to which extent the number of patents per million inhabitants and the percentage of internet use affect GDP per capita. The MLR results reveal a statistically significant positive predictive correlation between the percentage of internet use and the value of GDP per capita. On the other hand, the number of patents per million inhabitants has a minimal impact on the analyzed parameter of economic growth in Serbia during the studied period. Considering the positive impact of the percentage of internet use and the number of patents per million inhabitants on Serbia's economy, the research findings suggest that attention should be given to policy strategies that promote innovation in order to promote economic growth.

Authors: Shajahan Kabir , Radović-Marković Mirjana , Kapse Manohar
Published: August 2024

Bangabandhu had a great impact on agricultural policy in Bangladesh where he emphasized the practice of integrated agriculture. Bangabandhu was driving the country towards inclusive growth in the agricultural sector. He believed that by achieving sustainable agriculture production, this country would ensure mass feed of the population. This paper aims to synthesize the agriculture and food security policy in terms of Bangabandhu's development philosophy. Study has followed survey research with the qualitative and quantitative analytical techniques approach. The Charland area in Mymensingh district has selected 300 farm households with 60 women through a random sample technique. The paper used numerous literatures, as well as original research that pointed to the problems faced by agricultural producers of both sexes. Namely, The Coping with Problems Index (PCI), which is a measure for determining problems and limitations, was used in the research. Using a structured questionnaire, respondents were asked to give their opinion on some selected issues during data collection. Insufficient capital, lack of profit, inadequate capacities for training and lack of adequate agricultural mechanization were especially singled out. These problems pointed to limitations that put food safety in question as well as the possibility of greater empowerment of women in agriculture and improving their status.

Authors: Andrić Vladimir , Bodroža Duško , Đukić Mihajlo
Published: August 2024

In this paper, we have constructed a secondary Global Public Debt Database (GPDD) for 1971-2021. In particular, the paper presents detailed stylized facts regarding the public debt indebtedness of the central government in the case of sixty-seven advanced, emerging, low-income and developing economies after the collapse of Bretton Woods. The paper provides a comprehensive literature review of previous contributions centered around public debt sustainability analysis from the perspective of the intertemporal government budget constraint (IGBC) violation. Our results show a higher degree of public debt persistence in the case of advanced economies compared to emerging, low-income and developing economies. We also find that the most indebted countries have the most volatile public debt/GDP ratios.

Published: August 2024

The aim of this paper was to analyze profitability determinants in the insurance sector of the Republic of Serbia. The study relies on empirical research that involves the evaluation of panel regression models including all insurance companies that operated in the Republic of Serbia in the period 2005-2021. The data are collected from the financial statements published by the National Bank of Serbia, covering unbalanced panel that includes a total number of 32 life insurance, non-life insurance and reinsurance companies. The results of the panel regression models indicate that insurance-specific variables have a significant and robust role in determining financial performance, whilst macroeconomic variables seem to affect profitability to a lesser extent. Besides insurance-specific variables, market concentration also appears as the significant determinant of insurance sector performance, being positively associated with profitability indicators.

Private security business: State and trends in Serbia
Authors: Leštanin Branko , Nikač Željko
Published: August 2024

Private security is a relatively new branch of economic activity. Some studies conducted in some countries have shown that the private security sector is constantly expanding. In this paper, the authors investigate the state and trends in private security in Serbia. Taking into account that private security is a social phenomenon, the phenomenon of private security in Serbia was studied by applying the methods of social and humanistic sciences. Based on data from the Ministry of Interior and the Serbian Business Register Agency, the authors come to the conclusion that private security in Serbia is also expanding. Although the authors started from the hypothesis that the growth of private security could also affect the growth of the economy, this hypothesis was not confirmed in this research. The positive state and trends of private security in Serbia represent an additional support for investments in Serbia.

Authors: Lippi Giuseppe , Martini Loredana , Cortivo Barbara , Zecchetto Chiara , Ferrari Anna
Published: August 2024

Background: Low-volume blood tubes offer several advantages in facilitating blood collection, reducing iatrogenic anemia and spurious hemolysis, but their clinical reliability must be validated. We planned this investigation for establishing the reliability of routine hematologic testing in low-volume tubes before their implementation into clinical practice. Methods: Blood was drawn from 44 ostensibly healthy laboratory professionals into three blood tubes, as follows: 3.0 mL of blood into a 3.0 mL K2EDTA standard reference blood tube, 0.5 mL of blood into a second 3.0 mL K2EDTA standard blood tube, and 0.5 mL of blood into a 0.25-0.5 mL K2EDTA low-volume blood tube. Hematologic testing was performed on Sysmex XN-10 hematology analyzer. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in total white blood cell count, neutrophil count, lymphocyte count, red blood cell count, platelet count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and mean platelet volume in both 0.5 mL-filled 3.0 mL standard blood tubes and 0.5 mL-filled low-volume blood tubes. Although none of these variations was found to be clinically significant in the 0.5 mL-filled low-volume blood tube compared to the desirable specifications, hematocrit, MCV and MCHC displayed a clinically significant bias in the 0.5 mL filled 3.0 mL K2EDTA standard blood tube. Conclusions: These results suggests that K2EDTA low-volume blood tubes could safely replace standard blood tubes for preventing the receipt of insufficient samples, but also for facilitating blood collection in patients with difficult veins and reducing the risk of iatrogenic anemia and spurious hemolysis.

Authors: Ransom Jacob , Princess Aboko , Eze Evelyn , Zaccheaus Jeremiah
Published: August 2024

Introduction: The Mentzer index is a cost-effective and accurate method for differentiating between iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and beta-thalassemia. Anemia in pregnancy is a global health concern, especially in developing countries like Nigeria, where it is primarily linked to iron deficiency and may also include other underlying hemoglobin disorders, with beta-thalassemia (bT) being the most common. This cross-sectional study aimed to differentiate between iron deficiency anemia and beta-thalassemia in pregnant women attending tertiary hospitals in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, based on the Mentzer Index. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 apparently healthy pregnant women aged between 20 and 50 years were recruited for the study. Five milliliters (5 ml) of venous blood were collected from each participant using a disposable syringe and placed into an ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA) anticoagulated bottle for full blood count determination using a Mindray automated analyzer. The Mentzer Index was calculated from the mean cell volume (MCV) and red blood cell (RBC) count values. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 23. Results: Mean age ± SD of the study population (28.68 ± 5.6years), Mean + SD of Hb (11.38 + 2.08g/ dl), PCV (31.72 + 4.59%), RBC count (4.65 ± 1.86 x 1012/L), MCV (79.92 ± 5.91 fl) and Platelets count (272.9 ± 42.10 x 109 /L) respectively. Out of 120 participants, 48 (40%) had Hb and PCV values above 11.0 g/dl and 33% respectively. A total of 5 (4.17%) had a Mentzer index < 13 and confirmed beta-thalassaemia, while 67 (55.83%) had a Mentzer index > 13 and confirmed iron-deficiency anaemia indicating a 60% prevalance of anaemia in study population with iron-deficiency anaemia been more common amongst the study population than beta-thalassaemia. Conclusion: Based on the Mentzer Index calculation, this study revealed a high prevalence of iron deficiency anemia (IDA) and a lower prevalence of beta-thalassemia among pregnant women attending tertiary hospitals in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. Healthcare practitioners should consider incorporating the Mentzer Index as a cost-effective means of differentiating iron deficiency anemia from beta-thalassemia in pregnant women, particularly in rural areas. Additionally, increased awareness and educational programs focusing on proper nutrition and iron supplementation during pregnancy should be advocated.

Authors: Pušina Sadat , Hodžić Edin , Salibašić Mirhan , Bičakčić Emir , Herenda-Pušina Naida , Halilović Emsad
Published: August 2024

Introduction: Breast cancer, the most common malignancy in women, represents a significant health issue, and biomarkers such as the Ki-67 index and uPA/PAI-1 complex can provide insight into treatment outcomes and therapeutic response. Objective: The primary outcome of the study was the assessment of 5-year disease-free survival (DFS), defined as the postoperative period until the occurrence of loco-regional or distant metastases and death from any cause. Patients and Methods: A retrospective cohort study included 166 patients with early invasive breast cancer, in whom the prognostic and predictive significance of the uPA/PAI-1 complex and Ki-67 biomarkers in surgically treated patients at the Clinic for General and Abdominal Surgery of the University Clinical Center in Sarajevo was evaluated during the period from September 2015 to February 2017. Results: Univariate regression analysis identified an increased probability of DFS shorter than five years in patients with negative hormone receptors, positive HER-2 receptor, ≥ 8 positively mph nodes, and a Ki-67 index ≥ 14% (p < 0.05). Multivariate regression analysis revealed that T2 stage, tumor size of 20-50 mm, and a Ki-67 index ≥ 14% were associated with a higher probability of DFS shorter than five years (p < 0.05). The five-year DFS rate was higher in patients with a Ki-67 index < 14% compared to those with ≥ 14% (p = 0.011), while there was no difference in five-year DFS among patients with different levels of the uPA/PAI-1 complex (p = 0.636). Conclusion: Our study highlights the importance of the Ki-67 proliferative index as a strong prognostic and predictive factor for DFS in patients operated on for early invasive breast cancer. Additional monitoring and tailored therapeutic strategies may be beneficial in patients with elevated Ki-67 index values, T2 stage, and tumor size of 20-50 mm.

Epidemiology of traffic traumatism
Authors: Peličić Damir , Ristić Branko , Radević Svetlana
Published: August 2024

Through a review of relevant literature, we provide insight into the public health issue of traffic trauma both globally and locally. According to estimates by the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1.35 million people die annually in traffic accidents, while nearly 50 million suffer minor or severe injuries. Globally, traffic injuries account for about 2.37% of all deaths, ranking eighth among all causes of death. The Global Status Report on Road Safety 2018 indicates that the number of traffic deaths did not decrease in any low-income country between 2013 and 2016, although a reduction was observed in 48 middleand high-income countries during that period. Despite the increase in absolute numbers, the global road traffic mortality rate has remained fairly constant at around 18 deaths per 100 000 inhabitants over the past 15 years, with the highest rate in the African region and the lowest in the European region. Currently, traffic accidents are the leading cause of death among children and young adults aged 5 to 29 years, with a higher incidence among males. Further research is needed to better understand the specific characteristics of traffic injuries in the local population and to identify the most effective intervention programs.

Authors: Lyu Zhaoyu , Dolah Jasni , Yi Zhongyao
Published: August 2024

With the enrichment of digital technology, new media art has become a hot topic in the current art field. However, the academic field lacks a comprehensive discussion on the development trend of new media art in China. To gain a clearer understanding of the development process of Chinese New Media Art, this research adopts the method of bibliometrics combined with CiteSpace Knowledge Map visualization software. Using 550 articles from the CSSCI Database for visualization knowledge map presentation, data analysis is conducted on the number of annual publications, academic institutions and authors, and bursting keywords. This presents the development history, evolution of hotspots, and future trends of Chinese New Media Art. The research found that the number of annual publications of Chinese new media art can be divided into four stages: slow growth from 2003 to 2006, rapid growth from 2007 to 2010, slow increase from 2011 to 2017, and fluctuating development from 2017 to 2022. Secondly, there is a low density of cooperation between authors and academic institutions, and no clear academic groups have been formed, with academic institutions mainly located in economically developed first-tier cities. It is predicted that "Virtual Reality, Artificial Intelligence, and Human-Computer Interaction" will become the future development directions of Chinese new media art research. It is hoped that this research can provide theoretical reference and data support for the future development of New Media Art in China.

Authors: Chen Ling , Zhou Niuniu , Zhang Lingyan
Published: August 2024

Objective: To assess the effectiveness and safety of canagliflozin in the management of ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: A retrospective analysis on data of patients diagnosed with STEMI and T2DM who underwent PCI treatment at our hospital was performed from June 2020 to September 2023. The patients were divided into two groups based on the exposure factor: the canagliflozin and conventional treatment groups and the canagliflozin and routine treatment groups. Various parameters, such as demographic characteristics, cardiac function indicators, and insulin-related factors, were collected and compared postprocedure. In addition, evaluation of the insulin sensitivity index (ISI), lipid profile parameters, and safety outcomes was conducted. A balanced baseline characteristics of patients was achieved via propensity score matching (PSM) at a 1:1 ratio. Statistical analyses were performed through t-tests, nonparametric tests, and chi-square tests. Results: This work included data on 156 patients, including 63 and 93 patients in the canagliflozin and routine treatment groups, respectively. Later, each group comprised 63 patients after 1:1 matching by PSM. After treatment, the canagliflozin treatment group exhibited notably reduced levels of N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide, cardiac troponin T (cTnT), and creatine kinase-MB and a significantly higher level of left ventricular ejection fraction in comparison with the routine treatment group (p < 0.05). In addition, following treatment, the canagliflozin treatment group exhibited a significant decrease in homeostatic model assessment (HOMA)-insulin resistance levels and a significant increase in HOMA-β levels (p < 0.05). Conversely, the groups manifested no significant variances in terms of major adverse cardiovascular events, hypoglycemia, diabetic ketoacidosis, acute kidney injury, and urinary tract infection (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The concurrent administration of canagliflozin following PCI improves cardiac function, insulin sensitivity, and lipid profile in patients with STEMI and T2DM, which ultimately lowers the likelihood of cardiovascular incidents. Canagliflozin demonstrates favorable clinical safety profiles in such individuals and displays promising prospects for clinical utility.

Published: August 2024

Fishing has been prioritized as the major economic activity of the coastal community and most of them are involved in livelihood earning from a very young age. Though they are primarily engaged in fishing, they are now involved in the recent seaweed culture trend. Seaweed culture is a feasible alternative livelihood for the coastal fishing population. In this study, an assessment of the socio-economic and livelihood status of seaweed beneficiaries was conducted at Nuniachara, Cox's Bazar as seaweed farming is thriving there. The study method included a questionnaire, survey, group discussion and public interview, and the findings revealed that almost 44% of the participants had never been to any school and only 3% had completed their S.S.C. Around 47% of respondents came from large families and most of the beneficiaries' economic status is poor (47%) according to their monthly income but almost 65% agreed that their financial condition has moderately improved after involving in seaweed farming. Despite fishing (78%) being their major occupation for decades, they are now opting for other side jobs during the off-season of fishing, though the percentage is exiguous. Approximately 36% of the respondents admitted that environmental changes along with ongoing airport construction and extension work have a significant impact on their livelihood through capture fisheries. From this study, we can claim that seaweed farming has reached tremendous success in initiating women empowerment; more than 70% of women in this community are involved in seaweed farming and contributing to their family income. This study indicates that it is the high time we took the initiative on seaweed beneficiaries as well as on the livelihood management strategy to mitigate the highlighted ecological and socio-economic difficulties they face.

Authors: Biswas Dibyendu
Published: August 2024

Small ruminants extremely seldom have congenital urinary system anomalies. However, a variety of defects, including urethral diverticulum, have been documented elsewhere. A five-days old male black bangle-Jamunapari cross-bred kid with about 4 kg body weight was brought to Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Faculty of Animal Sciences and Veterinary Medicine, Patuakhali Science and Technology University, Barishal Campus, Babuganj, Barishal-8210, Bangladesh. The kid suffered from stranguria and dysuria and a sac-like structure were present in front of the testis. After examination, it was diagnosed as penile urethral diverticulum. A standard surgical procedure was used and the extra part of the penile urethra was excised. A broad-spectrum antibiotic, analgesic and antihistaminic were used for 5 days. Skin sutures were removed after 10 days of surgery. Postoperative follow-up for 15 days showed a healthy kid without any complications.

Nictitans Gland Prolapse (NGP), also known as third eyelid gland prolapse or Cherry eye disease, is a serious and common surgical affection of eyes of dogs. Although numerous surgical procedures have been documented, more studies are required to find out the most efficient method. The objective of the present case study is to investigate the outcome of surgical correction of Cherry eye in a dog. In the study a castrated male Labrador Retriever dog of 2.5 years old, weighing 26 kg was presented to the Shahedul Alam Quadary Teaching Veterinary Hospital, Chattogram Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Chattogram. The patient came with a history of swollen mass at medial canthus of the right eye since 3 months. Clinical examination revealed swollen mass, congested blood vessels, frequent blinking of eyelid and epiphora in right eye. According to the clinical history and examination, the present case was diagnosed as third eyelid gland prolapse (Cherry eye) and was decided for surgical correction by Morgan’s Pocket technique. Surgery was performed by xylazine and ketamine anaesthesia. After the successful surgery and proper postoperative care for 2 weeks, the patient was fully recovered. No reoccurrence or complication was noticed upto 6 months of post operation. The authors suggest that the Morgan’s Pocket technique can be applied for the Cherry eye correction in dogs.
Next-Generation Edge Computing: Leveraging Ai-Driven Iot For Autonomous, Real-Time Decision Making And Cyber security
Authors: Gbaja Christianah
Published: August 2024

Therein lies a reason for the fast growth of edge computing: the proliferation of IoT devices, which sets the stage for autonomous, real-time decision-making in various applications. This paper explores the convergence of artificial intelligence with edge computing architectures to enhance IoT systems and, consequently, achieve faster and efficient processing at the network edge. Here, we introduce a new architecture that leverages AI-powered algorithms to process and analyze data in real-time to allow for instant, automatic responses in critical situations. This work, meanwhile, addresses the growing risk of cybersecurity in this decentralized environment by embedding strong security protocols, specially designed for edge networks. We demonstrate through experiments that, with our system, there will be a significant improvement in the accuracy of decisions with enhanced system resilience against cyber threats. The results show that this new architecture in edge computing holds great potential for the massive industry turning around fast, secure data processing and operations, involving the next frontier of autonomous systems.
Função materna
Authors: Nathasje Ian Favero
Published: August 2024

Ainda que usado de forma ampla na psicanálise, o termo “função materna” tem uma definição imprecisa e uso na sociedade atual ainda mais incerto. Este breve estudo se propõe a pensar uma delimitação do que chamamos de função materna e quais cuidados estão envolvidos nela. Questiona-se se seria possível propor um outro nome a essa função, de modo a abranger configurações familiares diversas que, de maneira tardia, vêm sendo reconhecidas pela psicanálise.
Resenha do livro A carne e a escrita: um estudo crítico psicanalítico sobre Graciliano Ramos, de Roberto B. Graña
Authors: Osório Cláudio Maria da Silva
Published: August 2024

Minha aproximação com Roberto se deve muito às fronteiras entre literatura, filosofia, psicanálise, psicoterapia e psiquiatria. Aposentado na UFRGS em 2012, passei a frequentar oficinas de contos com João Gilberto Noll (Graciliano Ramos e outros) e depois cursos de literatura com João Armando Nicotti (Dostoiévski, Tolstói e outros). Estes três, João Noll, João Nicotti e Roberto Graña, compartilham da capacidade de acolher. Em setembro de 2020, voltei a colaborar nas discussões clínicas na psiquiatria da UFRGS-HCPA. Isso “deu corda no brinquedo” nessas demandas pela literatura, pela filosofia e pela fenomenologia: entrevistar e examinar pacientes sem a abordagem fenomenológico-existencial não tem nada de acolhedor, por faltar a “presença presente e a visualização vívida” recomendadas mais detalhadamente por Karl Jaspers (1997).

Published: August 2024

Orang tua tunggal adalah salah satu bentuk keluarga yang diakui keberadaannya. Menjadi orang tua tunggal memiliki banyak tantangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui secara eksistensial gambaran kehidupan para orang tua tunggal yang ada di wilayah GMIT Klasis Kupang Barat, resiliensi dan pola pendampingan pastoral seperti apa yang dapat menjawab kebutuhan para orang tua tunggal. Penelitian ini memakai metode sequential explanatory design, sebagai bagian dari pendekatan mixed method. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa orang tua tunggal di wilayah Klasis Kupang Barat hidup dalam dua konteks dominan yakni konteks kemiskinan dan konteks kehidupan perempuan sebagai orang tua tunggal yang paling dominan. Pendampingan pastoral dikembangkan dari gambaran Allah sebagai pengganti pasangan orang tua tunggal, yang paling dekat dan paling bisa diandalkan untuk menolong kehidupan orang tua tunggal. Pola pendampingan pastoral yang perlu dikembangkan dalam jemaat yaitu pola pendampingan pastoral holistik dan yang berperspektif kesetaraan gender.
