The aim of this research is to evaluate the rheological properties of industrial waste modified bitumen. The varying proportion of polypropylene ranging from 0% to 20% of the weight of bitumen at 5% interval with 60/70 penetration grade was used. The asphalt binder modification was prepared by using high-speed mixer at temperature from 150 °C to 190 °C. The conventional test like softening point, penetration, ductility, flash and fire point test were carried out to assess the physical characteristics of polypropylene modified and unmodified bitumen, thereafter dynamic shear rheometer and rotational viscosity test were conducted to determine the rheological properties of bitumen. The result indicated that polypropylene has ability to improve the conventional properties of bitumen by increased penetration and ductility, decrease softening point and flash and fire point. Polypropylene modified bitumen provides better resistance against permanent deformation due to their increase in complex modulus and rotational viscosity and decrease in phase angle. It can be concluded that polypropylene modified bitumen could improve the level of performance and service life of the road.

Inconsistency Between the Function and Position of the Board of Directors Under the Limited Liability Company Law and the Function and Position of the Board of Directors in Charge of Compliance Under the Circular Letter of the Financial Services Authority for Rural Banks in Indonesia
Authors: Aspan Henry , Adhari Agus , Wulandari Dian Yulis
Published: October 2022

Rural Banks (RB) have corporate organs consisting of the General Meeting of Shareholders, the Board of Directors, and the Board of Commissioners. The appointment of the Board of Directors and Commissioners is carried out by the General Meeting of Shareholders which is made in writing. The compliance function is a series of preventive actions or steps to ensure that the policies, provisions, systems and procedures, as well as the business activities carried out by RBs are in accordance with the regulations of the Financial Services Authority and other laws and regulations. In a RB there are members of the Board of Directors who take care of compliance issues. Furthermore, there will be a conflict of interest if the provisions governing the position of the Compliance Director are found to be incompatible. This discrepancy can be overcome if RBs apply the principle of Lex Superior Derogat Legi Inferiori (high rules beat lower rules). The discrepancy may also be subject to a material review, particularly on the Circular Letter issued by the Financial Services Authority No. 6/SEOJK03/2016, as well as the existence of an internal regulation for RBs that re-regulates the authority of the Board of Directors.

Authors: Babić Galić Vanda
Published: October 2022

NikčevićSummaryThe two brothers emphasized, promoted and strengthened the Montenegrin national independence and uniqueness at all cultural levels in their scientific works. My scientific path is more strongly connected to Milorad‘s guidelines, although Vojislav and I met on the line of unwavering defense of Montenegrin statehood, which was (and still is) exposed to the aspirations of Greater Serbia.The works of both of them will show their attitude towards the Boka Kotorska literary heritage, especially that which belongs to the Croatian culture and literary heritage of Montenegro. In the words of Milorad Nikčević, talking about the role of Kotor and other literary communities in Boka (Perast, Budva) which, created in the social conditions of communes under Venetian domination in thematic, stylistic and linguistic terms, given the Croatian and Latin expression, are an organic part and Croatian literature, but, inheriting the experience of literary touches, they simultaneously and historically mean a version of the Montenegrin standard.Their work in relation to the Bay of Kotor will show the unique attitude of two Montenegrin scientists, with prominent Croatian scientists, both in the determination to strengthen Montenegrin statehood and in the specifics of the part of Croatian culture inherited by both countries. The Bay of Kotor occupies a special place in the presented framework.

Authors: Čengić Almedina
Published: October 2022

The avant-garde approach in the processing of dramatic motifs in the literary work of Miodrag Žalica once pointed to the possibility of a different and more modern expression in Bosnian drama production. Miodrag Žalica›s artistic expression shows an obvious change in the structuring of the play, as well as in the stylistic orientations, which made him the reference writer of the late modern era in Bosnia and Herzegovina. This work presents a review of the positioning of Miodrag Žalica within the framework of modern literary and theatrical aspirations. “Poetically colored meditation”, dramatic characters of the universal type and the choice of themes have provided him with a prominent place in our dramatic literature.
Deconstruction of the epic cultural code in the short story by Kaimi Derviš Sušić
Authors: Ičanović Azra
Published: October 2022

Starting from the thesis that the epic cultural code throughout the history of B&H was one of the key factors in the re/construction of national/ethnic identities in Bosnia, the paper, aimed at pointing to the poetic and ideological revolution of Bosnian literature of the second half of the XX century, analyzes the process of deconstruction of epic cultural code in story „Kaimija“ by Derviš Sušić. The paper concludes that the deconstruction of the epic cultural code and the erosion of the epic world begins within that world in the moment when Tale Ličanin enters it, whose character Derviš Sušić used in his story to oppose the monumental concept of history and the figure of the epic hero with a dialectical and activist view of the past and the socially conscious character of the hybrid (cultural) identity.
The relationship between the virtual and real success of BiH parties
Authors: Alendar Mustafa
Published: October 2022

Politicians from the Western Balkan region are seeing the advantages of the Internet more and more for their presentation and overall success in politics, especially the usage of social networks. We researched the participation of political parties in the House of Peoples of BiH (in the mandates 2014-2018 and 2018-2022) and the number of seats won by parties along with popularity on social networks - Facebook as a representative example of online / virtual presentation of each political party. Research has shown inconsistencies with the popularity of political parties “online” with their actual success - winning a certain amount of delegates in the state parliament. Overall, when it comes to traditional, larger parties that voters choose the most (such as SDA, SNSD, and partially HDZ / 2014-2018 and 2018-2022), virtual and actual results are approximate, while “a huge gap between two worlds” applies for the rest. Political parties that are most represented on the Internet, are actually least represented in the Parliament. At the same time, lousy Internet results for a few parties are resulting in “big cake” in the House of Peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina.When politicians address voters through a TV spot, their marketing teams cannot choose exactly when they want to consume content. The Internet, and especially social networks, have the opportunity that today is the “alpha and omega” of all promotional actions.However, these new opportunities for domestic politics are closed! Why? Because domestic politicians have not yet understood / accepted the new fact that they can not only broadcast but also need to make their products available to recipients.In BiH, there’s currently only “political communication using the Internet” topic rather than “networked political communication” one. Interactive possibilities of the Internet have been limited to the ones of old mass media, which have been distancing the individual from the public sphere over the decades, making him/her a mere consumer of the mass culture product and an observer of the political events. The Internet is still partially seen as classic or mass media in the political communication of BiH. The audience doesn’t have a chance for systematically arranged interaction, but it’s primarily focused on one-way communication. In the meantime, politicians are accessing the Internet as just another option from the list, not seeing a new fact - not only that they can broadcast, but they need to make their products available to the recipients at the same time.

Published: October 2022

INTRODUÇÃO: O câncer é uma patologia crônica decorrente de alterações no código genético, sendo o Câncer de Mama (CM), o tipo de câncer que mais acomete mulheres no Brasil. O uso da Cannabis Sativa (CS) para qualquer finalidade era considerado uma contravenção penal, mas recentemente foi retirada da lista de substâncias proibidas. Assim, o Conselho Federal de Medicina publicou uma resolução aprovando seu uso como terapêutica alternativa para pacientes que não respondem aos tratamentos convencionais em diversos tipos de patologias, como no CM. Assim, a CS pode ser utilizada no tratamento do CM, pois reduz os sintomas associados à patologia, atuando nos cuidados paliativos e reduzindo a progressão do câncer. OBJETIVO: Verificar os efeitos da CS como método terapêutico do câncer de mama. MÉTODOS: Revisão integrativa, realizada no período de julho a agosto de 2022. Foram utilizadas três bases de dados: Literatura Latino-Americana em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS) via Portal da Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde (BVS), Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) e Sistema Online de Busca e Análise de Literatura Médica (PubMed), via Medline. Foram incluídos, estudos nacionais e internacionais, artigos envolvendo o objetivo da pesquisa e texto completo. RESULTADOS E DISCUSSÕES: O potencial terapêutico fisiopatológico dos compostos químicos derivados da CS são capazes de agir na apoptose das células cancerosas, no sinergismo com a quimioterapia ou radioterapia, na inibição da angiogênese e na metástase, além de promover a redução dos sintomas associados à patologia, atuando nos cuidados paliativos e reduzindo a progressão do câncer. CONCLUSÃO: Os canabinóides possuem propriedades benéficas no tratamento do CM, por interferirem no crescimento das células neoplásicas, intensificarem os resultados dos tratamentos, e diminuir a intensidade dos efeitos colaterais da quimioterapia, melhorando a QV para as pessoas em tratamento antineoplásico.

Authors: Abouhalima Ahmed M. K. , Li Yingxia
Published: October 2022

This work was designed to study the effect of major drains, such as El Rahawy, on the Nile's water quality over time. The data in this study includes six years of physical and chemical variables data, starting from 2015 to 2020, covering three different water streams. The present results showed that the Rosetta branch and Khandaq sharky canal were directly affected by the agricultural drainage of the Rahway drain, with the change over time for the worse. Rayah El Nasery canal enjoyed complete independence from the negative impact of the drain while maintaining the quality at an appropriate level over time. The study predicts a decline in the water quality of the Rosetta branch in the future and recommends exerting more efforts to treat all pollutants that are discharged on the Nile and raise the efficiency of the Rahawy drain.

FRAGILITY FRACTURES OF THE SACRUM: A SILENT EPIDEMIC
Authors: Cattaneo Stefano , Adriani Marco , Tonolini Stefano , Oransky Michel , Galante Claudio , Grava Giuseppe , Milano Giuseppe , Casiraghi Alessandro
Published: October 2022

Fragility fractures of the sacrum (FFS) are caused by low-energy trauma in the elderly population. Due to the nuanced symptomatology, many FFS remains unrecognized and the prevalence is underestimated. The clinical presentation varies, typically presenting with weightbearing low back pain without even remembering of a previous trauma. Radiographs are usually insufficient for the diagnosis and second level imaging modalities are required. In particular, magnetic resonance demonstrated the highest diagnostic accuracy. Treatment should aim to guarantee early mobilization and weightbearing, efficient pain relief and early discharge from the hospital to a proper facility for rehabilitation. Conservative treatment is reserved to non-displaced fractures with an adequate pain relief within one week allowing early mobilization. Otherwise, surgical treatment must be preferred. Nowadays, minimally invasive techniques, such as ileo-sacral screws or trans-sacral bar osteosynthesis, are safe and effective procedures and have overcome open procedures. In more complex patterns, with complete dissociation between the pelvic ring and the ilio-lumbar spine, spino-pelvic fixation is the procedure of choice.

The knee is the most common joint in adults associated with morbidity. Many pathologies are associated with knee damage, such as gout or rheumathoid arthritis, but the primary condition is osteoarthritis (OA). Not only can osteoarthritis cause significant pain, but it also can result in signficant disability as well. Treatment for this condition varies, starting off with oral analgesics and physical therapy to surgical total knee replacmenet. In the gamut of this various treatments, a conservative approach has included intra articular steroid injections. With time, researchers and clinicians determined that other components injected to the knee may additionally provide relief of this condition. In this investigation, we describe different types of knee injections such as platelet-rich plasma (PRP), hyaluronic acid, stem cells, and prolotherapy. Additionally, we describe the role of geniculate knee injections, radiofrequency, and periopheral nerve stimulation. These treatments should be considered for patients with knee pain refractory to conservative therapies.

Authors: Plakalo Adela , Okanović Hazim , Abdibegović Salaahuddin
Published: October 2022

The most important goal of this paper is to promote and emphasize the importance of detecting corruption risks in the legislative legislation, as a basis from which various forms of corruption can develop. Also, it is important in the theoretical analysis of the concept of corruption, as well as corruption risks and analysis of the assessment of susceptibility to corruption of draft laws and bylaws. In addition, the aim is to investigate the extent to which the assessment of susceptibility to corruption of laws and bylaws can prevent corruption, especially if we take into account that “ambiguity” in laws and bylaws, and the lack of “control mechanism” in them, the basis that leaves room corruption, ie key corruption risk. A quantitative approach to research was used in the paper. The survey was conducted at the local, cantonal, entity, and state levels on a representative and stratified sample. The research included managers in administrative bodies, professional associates and expert advisors in administrative bodies, as well as lawyers and lawyers employed in public institutions. The contribution also refers to a better understanding of the mechanisms for preventing corruption in administrative bodies through the establishment of a single authority and mechanisms for assessing the susceptibility of corruption to laws and bylaws, and mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of adopted laws and bylaws.

Strengthening the Communication Competencies of Civil Servants in Providing Public Services
Authors: Holjan Adis , Masnica Seid
Published: October 2022

Communication is by definition a two-way process, ie. the process of sending and receiving messages. Business communication is one of the most interesting areas today. In the last twenty years, at the time of the beginning of globalization and global business, more attention has been paid to the importance of business communication. Strengthening the communication competencies of civil servants in the provision of public services is a special challenge for the civil service in our country, especially at lower levels of administrative organization. In the business process, the most important thing is to respect the needs and desires of target users, to integrate communication with other business functions in such a way that the needs and desires of the target public become a priority. Today's modern business in order to be successful and give positive results, the exchange of information between participants in the business process must be raised to the highest possible level of communication. Communication is one of the most basic elements of business, because it permanently helps better business and improves relationships, which means that good communication increases the credibility of the institution / company, and poor communication reduces it. Today, the process of communication is realized through numerous channels. Trends related to modern business communication place their emphasis on addressing the interlocutors and the public as personally as possible. Today, institutions are changing their traditional communication, which took place by phone, fax and mail, with electronic communication, so it can be concluded that in this sense, e-mail, social networks, blogs, online media, video conferencing, etc. are being used. all with the aim of more successful communication, especially with the external public.
What’s Happening With Judicial Control Over General By-Laws in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Authors: Sarač Kemo
Published: October 2022

The article deals with the understanding of the situation in the field of enactment or adoption of general legal - bylaws in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the issue of (non) control of such acts by the judiciary. Presentation of the situation in this area is presented through a key understanding of the concept of legality, as well as a comparative legal review of control over the work of administrative bodies, viewed from a broader context. The text does not seek to define or define what constitutes general legal acts; it is not defined which acts in Bosnia and Herzegovina have the character of bylaws, having in mind the lack of possibility of judicial control of such acts and thus the frustration that, in the absence of legal definition, these acts are more clearly defined through case law. There is no theoretical consideration of the issue of authority/competence for adoption, as well as the procedure of adoption, and ultimately the content of bylaws. The essence of the whole text is the effort to contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon of the rule of law in terms of the provision of Article I/2. Of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina, according to which Bosnia and Herzegovina is a "democratic state that functions in accordance with the law ...", and consequently the perception of "inconsistencies" in terms of the said provision of the Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In fact, the article unequivocally points to asymmetric solutions in the constitutional norms and legislation of Bosnia and Herzegovina regarding the possibility of initiating and conducting an objective administrative dispute in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and it is claimed that such unequal norms do not contribute to the rule of law. Partial application of the provisions of the Constitution is not immanent to a democratic state, and accordingly, it cannot be said that bylaws (which do not pass the control of legality), as a functional segment of the legal order, protect or embody the protection of rights and freedoms of all citizens in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Rachetele hipersonice reprezintă noua clasă de amenințări, capabile, declarativ și într-un mod dovedit prea puțin într-un teatru de operații, să anihileze apărarea aeriană și antirachetă existentă la acest moment. Suma caracteristicilor noii amenințări, viteza mare, manevrabilitatea crescută și altitudinea de zbor redusă induc motive majore de îngrijorare pentru apărarea aeriană și antirachetă, deoarece descoperirea și combaterea efectivă sunt reduse prin prisma comprimării timpului avut la dispoziție. Regândirea modului de combatere a noilor amenințări reprezintă astfel principala preocupare a specialiștilor militari din țările care își doresc completarea arsenalelor cu noile arme.

Arqueología y reproducción social: elementos teóricos de la economía política de la vida.
Authors: González Andrea
Published: October 2022

La investigación feminista ha demostrado cómo el contractualismo capitalista desplazó el asunto de la reproducción social al orden biomédico o del parentesco, esencializando la diversidad de su manifestación y, por lo tanto, la estructura, factores y consecuencias de su variación. Al contrario, se argumenta que las actividades de mantenimiento y reproducción de la vida a nivel cotidiano e intergeneracional son movilizadas por el trabajo y están afectadas por la economía política, destacando la tensión que sostienen con los modos de producción. Sobre dicha propuesta, se ofrecen algunos elementos teóricos en los que se conjuga una ciencia de vocación interseccional, situada y materialista para la práctica de una investigación transdisciplinaria de la economía política de la vida en arqueología.
Las Cinco Águilas Blancas originales de la leyenda de Tulio Febres Cordero
Authors: Ávila Jorge
Published: October 2022

La leyenda de Las Cinco Águilas Blancas fue escrita por Tulio Febres Cordero para relatar el origen mitológico de los cinco grandes picos con glaciares de la Sierra Nevada de Mérida (Venezuela). A pesar de que esta creación literaria forma parte de la memoria colectiva de la ciudad de Mérida, no hay claridad en torno a cuáles elevaciones de esta formación montañosa ubicada al pie de la ciudad quiso referirse el escritor merideño. En el presente trabajo revisamos la Geohistoria de la Sierra Nevada de Mérida y a través del análisis de testimonios escritos y gráficos que han pasado desapercibidos o que no han sido interpretados a cabalidad, develamos esta incógnita, encontrando una diferencia en el grupo de cinco picos con glaciares que originalmente el escritor quiso exaltar en su reconocida leyenda
Prejuicios lingüísticos/prejuicios sociales. Aportes para leer un documento colonial
Authors: Grana Romina , Barone Dajana
Published: October 2022

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo analizar un vasto documento colonial, la Visita a las Encomiendas de Indios de Córdoba realizada por el Oidor Don Antonio Martínez Luxan de Vargas entre los años 1692-1693. La perspectiva que asumimos integra intereses del análisis del discurso con especial atención a los prejuicios lingüísticos entendidos como juicios infundados que minorizan tanto a las lenguas como a los usuarios. Una de las conclusiones a las que llegamos es que este documento es una muestra clara de las restricciones que el dispositivo colonial produce respecto de la habilitación de la palabra
Condicionantes socioespaciales de la salud (CSS) como base de regionalización multidimensional en la megalópolis argentina
Authors: Buzai Gustavo
Published: October 2022

La distribución espacial de los condicionantes socioespaciales de la salud (CSS) es un indicador esencial para determinar la vulnerabilidad social a las enfermedades. Los sistemas de información geográfica (SIG) posibilitan la aplicación de métodos de análisis multivariado que llevan a la obtención del resultado final en un mapa síntesis. En la Argentina, la base de datos del Censo Nacional de Población, Hogares y Viviendas permite determinar un conjunto básico de variables que definen dimensiones de análisis centrales: Educación, Economía, Pobreza, Construcción, Servicios y Equipamiento. La combinación de estas dimensiones permitirá realizar el mapa que presenta la distribución espacial de los CSS de la megalópolis argentina y definir su área de mayor criticidad, presentando estos resultados como base fundamental de la planificación territorial con la posibilidad de ser usado para la generación de acciones tendentes a la disminución de disparidades socioespaciales.
Pérdidas postcosecha, desperdicios, problemas ambientales y valor agregado del procesamiento agroindustrial de productos agrícolas tropicales en América Latina. Una revisión
Authors: Cartay Rafael
Published: October 2022

En este artículo se examina los altos niveles de pérdidas postcosecha y de los desperdicios de alimentos producidos en el campo latinoamericano a lo largo de la cadena productiva y, en especial, a los residuos resultantes de los procesamientos agroindustriales, con el propósito de obtener un producto principal. La no eliminación o reducción de la elevada cantidad de esos desperdicios o desechos ocasiona gravísimos problemas ambientales, cuyo tratamiento supone grandes costos económicos y sociales. Acá se evalúan esas pérdidas, aclarando que una forma eficiente de reducir el volumen de desperdicios, y sus costos de eliminación, es reprocesarlos para transformarlos en subproductos, que generen un valor económico suplementario y contribuyan a dinamizar las economías locales, creando nuevas oportunidades de emprendimiento, que aumenten el número de empleos directos e indirectos, y mejoren el nivel de los ingresos de los pobladores de las comunidades locales.

Authors: Ferrer Carlos , Dugarte Marbella , Ayala Ruben , Delgadillo Alejandro
Published: October 2022

El proyecto Yacambú-Quíbor, cuyas obras (túnel de trasvase y presa) se iniciaron a mediados de la década de 1970, fue diseñado para llevar las aguas de la cuenca del río Yacambú al valle de Quíbor, que presenta fuertes limitaciones de humedad, pero con tierras altamente productivas. El propósito de este trabajo fue actualizar la información geomorfológica básica del área, discutir y analizar algunos aspectos de inestabilidad de las subcuencas de las quebradas Negra y Blanca y de las laderas que rodean al futuro embalse, así como estimar los volúmenes potenciales de acarreo y la capacidad de movilización de sedimentos durante eventos extraordinarios. Se identificaron áreas consideradas críticas, entre las que destacan: sección inferior de la quebrada Blanca, en especial las laderas correspondientes al sector Sabana Larga, los deslizamientos de El Portal de Entrada y Cerro Blanco; además de la situación extremadamente sensible de las subcuencas la Escalera y Honda.
Criminal geographical profile as a methodology of spatial analysis applied to psychology and criminology. A case study of Quito, Ecuador

Fighting criminal activity represents a challenge for the security system. The Geographic Profile allows locating with a degree of belonging the most probable area where an aggressor can be found. However, a defined or standardized methodology is currently lacking. The geographic information system (GIS) is a powerful tool for analysis and decision-making since more than 80% of the information can be spatialized. For this reason, the present study defined a methodology that allows the construction of a Criminal Geographical Profile (CGP) through the use of a GIS. The construction of the PGC was spatially simulated, as a case study called “Mata Viejitas”. The results obtained indicated a decrease of 79.83% in the area of influence of the crime, with a monthly saving of USD $ 43,406.10. Additionally, an average reduction of almost 90% of the area of criminal influence in other simulated cases.
