Are the Gottschee Germans in Diaspora a Part of Slovene Emigration?
Authors: Moric Anja
Published: January 2024

Slovene nationalism has developed along the lines of the so-called Eastern nationalisms, which are characterised by their understanding of culture and ethnicity as the fundamental unifying element of a nation. Accordingly, the prevailing view is that the Slovene nation and Slovene emigration are based on Slovene ethnic origin and the Slovene language, wherefore the members of other ethnic groups (Germans, Hungarians, Jews, etc.) are excluded from the concept of Slovene nationhood or Slovene emigration, despite their longstanding presence in the territory of the Republic of Slovenia. Indeed, the question arises; if they do not belong to Slovene emigration, to whose emigration do they belong? Based on the civic (voluntaristic, territorial) understanding of the nation and field research conducted among the Gottscheer diaspora in the USA, Canada, Austria and Germany, I analyse the problem described in the case of Gottschee Germans.
Protection of Autochthonous National Communities in the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia
Authors: Göncz László
Published: January 2024

The article explores the drafting and adoption of the Constitution of the Republic of Slovenia in terms of protection of the rights of autochthonous national communities at the time of Slovenia's independence, with an emphasis on the Hungarian national community. Once the Constitution was adopted, the umbrella organisation of the Hungarian community noted that the competences of autochthonous national communities in terms of representation at the state level as well as in the fields of the economy, human resources policy, and use of their symbols expanded and financing became more stable, whereas the constitutional status of autochthonous national communities deteriorated as they were no longer listed as entities contributing to the identity of the state. Moreover, the legislature failed to adopt the planned constitutional law or a general law integrating the most relevant constitutional provisions and encouraging a more consistent implementation and monitoring thereof.
(In)Appropriateness of the Criterium of Autochthony in the Regulation on the Status of Roma in Slovenia
Authors: Sancin Vasilka , Dine Maša Kovič , Turšič Domen
Published: January 2024

The article discusses the legal protection of the rights of the Roma community and its members enshrined in the existing international instruments and mechanisms, particularly those concerning the protection of minorities and human rights, and in the Slovenene legislation. It critically analyses the applicable legal sources, state practice and jurisprudence in order to prove the hypothesis that autochthony, as a criterion for recognising the special rights of the members of the Roma community in Slovenia, is not imbedded in the relevant international or Slovene law and is even incompatible with international legal obligations in the field of human rights. It criticizes the suggested amendments of the Roma Community Act, which are likely to result in a regression of the status of Roma community members in Slovenia and increased non-compliance with Slovenia’s international legal obligations.
Execution of Forced “Gypsy” Assimilation Policy in Hungary during the Socialist Era
Authors: Hajnáczky Tamás
Published: January 2024

Following World War II, Hungary fell under the influence and surveillance of the Soviet Union. This resulted in the Hungarian Workers’ Party assuming complete control over the nation. After the defeat of the 1956 Revolution, the ruling party re-formed as the Hungarian Socialist Workers’ Party, and after a few years of preparatory work, it composed its Roma policy of forced assimilation. This study presents the Roma policy of the single party state as carried out in the county of Borsod-Abauj-Zemplen. This county had the largest Roma population and was simultaneously designated for major socialist industrialisation and social engineering. Following the transition to democracy in 1989/90, numerous sociological and anthropological studies were conducted in the region, and this location remains highly emphasised in Hungarian social sciences. In presenting the nationwide Roma policy, I have used my source publication, while in examining policy execution in Borsod-Abauj-Zemplen county, I have relied on the county archives.
Law Students and Social Distance towards Migrants and Some Other Relevant Groups in Croatia
Authors: Gregurović Margareta , Mrakovčić Marko
Published: January 2024

Increased migration and the effects of the 2015/16 European migration/refugee crisis are reflected in changes in the attitudes towards migrants and members of certain religions. Law students, who are thought to come into contact with the issue of migration in their work, are of greater concern. This paper presents the results of a survey conducted in 2019 among 1st and 4th year law students at four law schools in Croatia. The study aims to determine how close a relationship (on Bogardus’ social distance scale) law students would achieve with the various types of migrants, Roma, and members of different religions. The results show that law students are likely to have the closest relationship with immigrants from North America and Western European countries and express the greatest average distance towards asylum seekers. They associate the greatest social closeness with Catholics. The analyses of the effects of sociodemographic characteristics, contextual indicators, and value orientations and attitudes on social distance imply that nationalism has the strongest effect on all groups.
STRUCTURAL&FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS AS A BASIS FOR DESIGNING THE STRUCTURE OF MASS-EFFICIENT LOAD-BEARING ELEMENTS OF CONSTRUCTIONS MADE OF COMPOSITE MATERIALS
Authors: P.V. SOLOVYEV , Y.S. PERVUSHIN , V.S. ZHERNAKOV , A.V. AKHMEDYANOV
Published: January 2024

The usage of the structural-functional analysis (SFA) as the main tool for designing the structure of load-bearing elements of constructions made of composite materials is considered. The structures formed as a result of SFA provide the specific bearing capacity of composite structures close to the maximum. The practical application of the method is demonstrated on a layered composite plate fixed as a cantilever and subjected to complex loading in the form of an oblique bending with torsion. The resulting plate structure after SFA outperforms typical and standardized structures in terms of load-bearing capacity and stiffness.

Background: Biliary atresia (BA) is a progressive fibrosing obstructive cholangiopathy involving both resulting in the intrahepatic and extrahepatic bile ducts. Hepatic portoenterostomy was first described by Kasai and Suzuki in 1959 to re-establish bile flow in biliary atresia patients. Currently, the accepted management of infants with biliary atresia is to re-establish bile flow by Kasai portoenterostomy followed by liver transplantation when indicated. Purpose: The purpose of this study is to correlate the surgical outcome following Kasai portoenterostomy with liver histology at the time of extended Kasai Portoenterostomy for biliary atresia who are operated in this institution. Methods: This prospective study was done in the department of Pediatric Surgery, BSMMU, with study period from October 2017 to march 2020.Wedge biopsies of liver was taken at the time of Extended Kasai portoenterostomy. Liver biopsies were graded as mild (grade-1), moderate (grade-2) and severe (grade-3) degree of fibrosis by single pathologist. Serial measurement of serum bilirubin were made preoperative and postoperatively to assess the degree of bile drainage in relation to degree of liver fibrosis. Results: A total of thirty infants underwent Extended KPE during study period. The mean age at the time of surgery was 89.7 (±23.4SD) days ranging from 57days to 140 days. 16 infants were operated before 90 days and rest 14 were operated beyond 90 days of life. Out of 30 infants, 3 cases were grade -1 fibrosis, 15 cases were grade- 2 and 12 cases were grade-3 fibrosis. 12(40%) infants cleared jaundice at three months after surgery, of which only 2 patients belonged to grade-3 fibrosis. 9(30%) infants were jaundice free at 6 months, among them 8 infants belonged to lower degree of fibrosis (grade-1 and grade-2). Only 1infant belonged to higher degree of fibrosis (grade-3). Conclusion: Currently, the concept for management of infants with biliary atresia considers successful establishment ..

Gynecomastia is a benign glandular proliferation of the male breast, which can be unilateral or bilateral, acute or chronic. It can be a source of psychological discomfort, raise fears of breast cancer and sometimes be a sign of serious endocrine or systemic disease. In the case of symptomatic gynecomastia, medical treatment is likely to be ineffective and surgery is the ideal treatment. In general, surgery frequently consists of mastectomy preceded by liposuction. The aim of our study was to analysis the epidemiological, anthropometric and clinical aspects of gynecomastia in our structure. A comparative study of the different surgical techniques will also be included, in order to obtain the best possible result, especially in aesthetic aspects. This is a retrospective study of 16 patients treated for gynecomastia who underwent surgical treatment at the Department of Aesthetic Plastic Reconstructive and Burn Surgery, CHU Tanger-Tétouan-Al Hoceima between March 2021 and October 2023. The average age of our patients was 27 years. 56% had a history of pubertal gynecomastia, 12.5% had a history of drug use, 37.5% were overweight and 31.25% were obese. The reasons for consultation were aesthetic problems in the majority of cases (81%) and cancer phobia in 19%. 62.5% were classified as having predominantly glandular gynecomastia, with Simon's grade IIa (44%) being the most common. The hormonal check-up was normal in all our patients. Concerning surgical techniques, subcutaneous mastectomy preceded by liposuction was applied in the majority of patients 94%, and subcutaneous mastectomy alone was applied in only 1 patient. We didn't observe any post-operative complications in any of our patients, and most of them were satisfied with the aesthetic results. The combination of mastectomy and liposuction is indispensable, as almost all types of gynecomastia consist of glandular and fatty hypertrophy, so these two techniques have guaranteed fewer complications and more ..........

Published: February 2024

Mice are an important research tool for genetic and molecular biology, allowing researchers to explore a variety of human illness models. Egg yolk is a common component of semen extenders for domestic animals and low-density lipoproteins (LDL) from egg yolk have some cryoprotective properties. This study aimed to investigate sperm quality characteristics and nuclear DNA integrity after post-thawing in an extender (18% raffinose + 3% skim milk) supplemented with different concentrations of LDL (2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, or 10%) in mice. 18% Raffinose+3% skim milk extender was used as a control group without LDL. CD-1 mice were used in the study, and semen was collected from the cauda epididymis and diluted with the extender. The straws were then frozen and thawed to evaluate progressive motility, viability, plasma membrane (HOST), acrosome, and nuclear DNA integrity parameters. Fresh sperm had the highest progressive motility, viability, plasma membrane integrity, and longevity (endurance) of progressive motility for 4 h in HTF solution.

In an experiment, the seeds were transferred to plastic pots, and the pots were divided into four groups. , the first and second groups without treatment 90%, 20% WHC (Water Holding Capacity)), while the third and fourth groups, 90%, 20% WHC In the presence of 25 mM trehalose (Tre). On day 30, plants were harvested, growth parameters, hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and enzymes measured. Drought stress caused significant growth inhibition including fresh and dry weight, root length and shoot height. There was an increase in hydrogen peroxide and also an increase in the activity of some enzymatic antioxidants (SOD, CAT, and PPO) and a decrease of others (APx, GR, and GHPx) in the roots and stems of drought-stressed plants. Treatment with 25 mM trehalose significantly improved growth parameters compared to drought-stressed plants, and the results in this study showed a decrease in the activity of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and an increase in the activities of SOD, CAT, APx, GSHPx, GPx and PPO in the treated plants.

Study of Minute Ventilation, Maximum Voluntary Ventilation and Dyspneic Index During Pregnancy: An Observational, Prospective and Comparative Study
Authors: Neelima Kumari, Ashutosh Kumar, Manish Kumar
Published: January 2024

Introduction

This study was designed to evaluate the Minute ventilation (MV). Maximum Voluntary Ventilation (MVV) & Dyspneic Index (DI) in different trimesters of pregnancy and compare the results with non pregnant control group.

Materials and Method

This study was carried out in 80 healthy women in the age range of 20–40 years with 20 subjects each in 1st, 2nd, 3rd trimesters of pregnancy and non-pregnant control group. The respiratory parameters were recorded in study and control groups. Statistical analysis was done by SPSS Software Package.

Results

It was observed that there was a significant decrease in MVV and dyspneic index (DI) in all trimesters of pregnancy and an insignificant variation in MV when compared to the control group. These changes are due to pressure of enlarging gravid uterus, elevating the diaphragm and restricting the movements of lungs thus hampering forceful expiration. The decrease seen in MVV in 1st trimester might be due to the effect of bronchoconstriction due to decreased alveolar Pco2.

Conclusions

Decrease in respiratory parameters was seen particularly in first trimester of pregnancy compared to 2nd & 3rd. The normal Minute Ventilation tries to maintain the respiratory need of pregnancy at rest. At increased physiological needs of respiration or during exercise the decreased Maximum Voluntary Ventilation makes pregnant female dyspneic.
A Study on Effect of Acute Exercise on Pulmonary Function Tests of First Year M.B.B.S. Students
Authors: Mumtaz Gowhar, Iram Jaan
Published: January 2024

Background

One of the most common stress on human body is exercise. It places a major demand on the cardiopulmonary system. The most practical test of assessing the respiratory function is spirometry. The present study was carried out to know the effect of acute excercises on pulmonary function test in 90 1st year M. B. B. S. students (M=46, F=44). The changes in PFTs before and after acute exercise of 6 minutes (Harward's step test) of those students were recorded. Results were analyzed using paired and unpaired t-test

Results

No significant changes were observed in all the four groups before and after exercise in males. However the post exercise values of FVC and VC were reduced than the baseline values in overweight and obese females (p < 0.01).

Conclusion

Acute exercise did not significantly affect the respiratory parameters. However the BMI of the individual may significantly influence the ventilatory response to acute exercise in otherwise healthy individuals.

Organic solar cells are a promising candidate for practical use because of their low material cost and simple production procedures. The challenge is selecting materials with the right properties and how they interrelate in the context of manufacturing the device. This paper presents studies on CdSe/ZnS nanodots as dopants in a polymer–fullerene matrix for application in organic solar cells. An assembly of poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) and 6,6-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester was used as the active reference layer. Absorption and luminescence spectra as well as the dispersion relations of refractive indices and extinction coefficient were investigated. The morphologies of the thin films were studied with atomic force microscopy. The chemical boundaries of the ternary layers were determined by Raman spectroscopy. Based on UPS studies, the energy diagram of the potential devices was determined. The resistivity of the layers was determined using impedance spectroscopy. Simulations (General-Purpose Photovoltaic Device Model) showed a performance improvement in the cells with quantum dots of 0.36–1.45% compared to those without quantum dots.

The remediation of the carbohydrate data of the Protein Data Bank (PDB) has brought numerous enhancements to the findability and interpretability of deposited glycan structures, yet crucial quality indicators are either missing or hard to find on the PDB pages. Without a way to access wider glyco-chemical context, problematic structures may be taken as fact by keen but inexperienced scientists. The Privateer software is a validation and analysis tool that provides access to a number of metrics and links to external experimental resources, allowing users to evaluate structures using carbohydrate-specific methods. Here we present the Privateer database, a free resource that aims to complement the growing glycan content of the PDB.

The study examined the effect of government expenditure on human capital index in Nigeria. Government expenditure on administration, economic services, and social community services were the independent variables of the study, while human capital index was the dependent variable. The specific objectives were structured as follows: To ascertain the effect of government expenditure on administration on human capital index in Nigeria; to examine the effect of government expenditure on economic services on human capital index in Nigeria; and to investigate the effect of government expenditure on social community services on human capital index in Nigeria. The study adopted an ex-post-facto research design, covering the period between 2001 and 2021. Multiple regression technique was used for the data analysis. In line with the specific objectives of the study, it was revealed that Government expenditure on administration has a significant negative effect on human development index in Nigeria with a p-value of 0.0444 and t-statistics of -2.194267; Government expenditure on economic services has a non-significant positive effect on human development index of Nigeria with p-value of 0.3785 and t-statistics of 0.907474 and Government expenditure on social community services has a significant positive effect on human development index of Nigeria with p-value of 0.0403 and t-statistics of 2.245271. This implies that among the explanatory variables x-rayed, Government expenditure on administration and social community services are the major determinants of human development index in Nigeria. The study recommended therefore that the government should strive to block all the financial loopholes available to corrupt public officers and also ensure that any official caught perpetuating corruption should be prosecuted by relevant agencies. The government should increase the budgetary allocations made for agriculture, construction, transportation, communication. These expenditures increase human development in Nigeria. The government should ensure they increase the funds allocated to education, health, electricity and other social and community services. Such expenditures have proven to affect human development positively and significantly.
