Evropsko građanstvo i ustavni patriotizam
Authors: Petrović Luka
Published: July 2021

Pandemija korona virusa ponovo je stavila na agendu pitanje solidarnosti i ekonomske redistribucije unutar Evropske unije. Zdravstveni sistemi država Juga su najpogođeniji pandemijom, a došlo je i do ekonomske i socijalne krize. Zahtev za preraspodelom bogatstva, mutualizacijom dugova i zajedničkim finansiranjem ekonomskog oporavka u početku nije naišao na odobravanje „štedljivih” država. Za razliku od rasprava o krizi evropskog duga vođenih nakon Svetske ekonomske krize iz 2008. ovoga puta krizu su proizveli eksterni faktori, što je otupelo snagu argumenata zasnovanih na navodnoj neodgovornosti pojedinih država. Autor polazi od pretpostavke da je nadnacionalno udruživanje neophodno radi uklanjanja negativnih efekata ekonomske globalizacije. U tekstu ispituje evropsko građanstvo, te kako ovaj koncept može pospešiti stvaranje solidarnijeg poretka. Problem posebno predstavlja da ono što je „urgentno potrebno da se uradi je ekstremno nepopularno i stoga praktično nemoguće demokratski uraditi” (Offe 2013), a tiče se mutualizacije dugova i stvaranja jedinstvenog fiskalnog sistema unutar Evropske unije. Autor posebno ispituje oblik građanstva zasnovan na konceptu ustavnog patriotizma (Habermas 2006; Muller, 2010). Zajedničko sećanje na posleratnu pomoć nemačkoj ekonomiji (Young 2020) ovoga puta se može iskoristiti kao motivacija za slične politike solidarnosti.
Istorijski institucionalizam, Balkan i Osmansko carstvo
Authors: Čorbić Dušan
Published: July 2021

Predmet ovog rada jeste pokušaj instrumentalizacije teorijskog pristupa istorijskog institucionalizma na polje razvoja balkanskih država sa ciljem objašnjavanja institucionalnog poretka ovog prostora. Istorijski institucionalizam se otuda može okarakterisati kao pogodan okvir za razumevanje specifičnosti institucionalnog razvoja balkanskih država. Samim tim, ovaj rad će biti fokusiran na višestrane istorijske uticaje koji su oblikovali institucionalni identitet ovog prostora sa posebnim fokusom na osmansko nasleđe Balkana kao formativno u pogledu utemeljenja određenih institucija koje i danas utiču na razvoj balkanskih država. S tim u vezi, u radu će kao studija slučaja biti analizirana knjiga Halila Inaldžika „Osmansko carstvo – klasično doba 1300–1600” kao adekvatan prikaz potencijala istorijskog institucionalizma u objašnjavanju institucionalnih specifičnosti balkanskog područja. Na taj način se dobija slika Balkana kao konstrukcije zasnovane na viševekovnom, mnogostranom istorijskom nasleđu.‎
Adult Human Neurogenesis: Early Studies Clarify Recent Controversies and Go Further

Published: July 2021

Evidence on adult mammalian neurogenesis and scarce studies with human brains led to the idea that adult human neurogenesis occurs in the subgranular zone (SGZ) of the dentate gyrus and in the subventricular zone (SVZ). However, findings published from 2018 rekindled controversies on adult human SGZ neurogenesis. We systematically reviewed studies published during the first decade of characterization of adult human neurogenesis (1994–2004) – when the two-neurogenic-niche concept in humans was consolidated – and compared with further studies. The synthesis of both periods is that adult human neurogenesis occurs in an intensity ranging from practically zero to a level comparable to adult mammalian neurogenesis in general, which is the prevailing conclusion. Nonetheless, Bernier and colleagues showed in 2000 intriguing indications of adult human neurogenesis in a broad area including the limbic system. Likewise, we later showed evidence that limbic and hypothalamic structures surrounding the circumventricular organs form a continuous zone expressing neurogenesis markers encompassing the SGZ and SVZ. The conclusion is that publications from 2018 on adult human neurogenesis did not bring novel findings on location of neurogenic niches. Rather, we expect that the search of neurogenesis beyond the canonical adult mammalian neurogenic niches will confirm our indications that adult human neurogenesis is orchestrated in a broad brain area. We predict that this approach may, for example, clarify that human hippocampal neurogenesis occurs mostly in the CA1-subiculum zone and that the previously identified human rostral migratory stream arising from the SVZ is indeed the column of the fornix expressing neurogenesis markers.

Published: July 2021

In response to the increasing energy demand in Taiwan and the global trend of renewable energy development, Kuroshio energy is a potential energy source. How to extract this invaluable natural resource has then become an intriguing and important question in engineering practices. This study conducted a study for a nozzle-diffuser duct (NDD) as the Kuroshio currents energy harvester. The computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software ANSYS Fluent was employed to calculate the drag and added mass coefficients of the duct anchored to the seabed. Those coefficients were further imported into Orcaflex to simulate the motion of the duct under normal and storm wave conditions. Results showed that the duct was stable 25 m below the sea surface under normal wave condition. When the wave condition changed to storm waves, the duct needed to dive into at least 90 m below the sea surface to regain its stability and obtain high power take-off (PTO). An optimal design nozzle-diffuser-duct was reported and a PTO peak of 15 kW was expectable in the Kuroshio currents. Once a suitable offshore platform can be developed with sixty-six NDDs, a Megawatt Kuroshio ocean current power generation system is feasible in the near future.

Published: July 2021

Research Infrastructures (RIs) are essential to achieve excellence in innovative scientific research. However, because of limited land availability and specific geological requirements, evaluating the viability of a site for a new RI can be a challenging task. Stringent safety construction requirements include developing site-specific architectural and geoengineering solutions, minimizing construction disturbances, and reinforcing rock and soil in a timely fashion. For successful development of the RIs in China, such as the Daya Bay Neutrino Laboratory (DBNL), and the China Spallation Neutron Source (CSNS), an integrated approach of joint geophysical methods including the electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), controlled-source audio-frequency magneto telluric (CSAMT)), gravity and seismic refraction methods, and geological mapping and surveys were carried out. Geophysical parameters, such as electrical resistivity, density, and seismic velocity show inverse proportion to the degree of rock fracturing or weathering. The results show that the low values of geophysical parameters suggest the weathered/fractured rock, while high values reveal the fresh bedrock. The Engineering Geological Suitability Index (EGSI) value can represent the individual EGSI values at a constant and summed over varying depths. EGSI methodology is an improvement on the existing siting process, and has been applied this to CSNS. Our integrated approach provides clearer insight of the subsurface for site suitability of RIs in challenging engineering geological conditions, and removes any ambiguity caused by a single geophysical parameter. The obtained geological knowledge of the area not only provides engineers with much-needed information about the construction conditions of a potential site, but also gives scientists the opportunity to explore the local geology. In this study, we demonstrate our innovative approach for siting RIs, as demonstrated by the synthetic evaluation of the site location and utilization for two established RIs (DBNL and CSNS).

Published: July 2021

Цель – оценить влияние активности коагуляции крови на течение новой коронавирусной инфекции и обосновать тактику ведения коморбидных пациентов, получающих пероральные антикоагулянты в подобранных ранее дозах.

Материалы и методы. Проанализировано 76 случаев подтвержденной коронавирусной инфекции у пациентов, получавших стартовую терапию амбулаторно. Из них 26 больных, получавших пероральные антикоагулянты (ривароксабан, апиксабан, дабигатран, варфарин), составили основную группу и 50 – группу сравнения, в которой пациенты не принимали до эпизода COVID-19 лекарственных средств, влияющих на свертываемость крови. Всем пациентам была назначена терапия в соответствии с Временными методическими рекомендациями.

Результаты. В группе пациентов, получавших пероральные антикоагулянты, было отмечено достоверно меньше случаев госпитализаций (19%, а в группе сравнения – 66%), отсутствие летальных исходов и случаев формирования тяжёлой дыхательной и/или почечной недостаточности, тогда как среди пациентов, не получавших антикоагулянты, неблагоприятные исходы отмечены в 14%.

Выводы. Приём пероральных антикоагулянтов, в соответствии с показаниями по сопутствующей патологии, снижает вероятность тяжёлого течения и неблагоприятных исходов при развитии коронавирусной инфекции, вызванной SARS-CoV-2, что указывает на существенный вклад звеньев свёртывающей системы крови в патогенез при COVID-19. У пациентов, получающих адекватную терапию пероральными антикоагулянтами, при лечении нетяжёлой формы коронавирусной инфекции, вызванной SARS-CoV-2, в амбулаторных условиях, не выявлено показаний для замены препаратов и коррекции схем антикоагулянтной терапии.
ЭПИДЕМИЧЕСКИЙ ПОТЕНЦИАЛ COVID-19 В ОМСКОЙ ОБЛАСТИ И ОЦЕНКА ВОЗМОЖНОГО ВЛИЯНИЯ ПРОТИВОЭПИДЕМИЧЕСКИХ МЕРОПРИЯТИЙ
Authors: Блох Алексей , Пеньевская Наталья , Рудаков Николай , Лазарев Игорь
Published: July 2021

Цель. Изучить распространение COVID-19 среди населения Омской области на протяжении первых 115 дней эпидемического неблагополучия на фоне противоэпидемических мероприятий.

Материалы и методы. Выполнено описательное эпидемиологическое исследование на основе данных ФБУЗ «Центр гигиены и эпидемиологии в Омской области» по официальному учёту и эпидемиологическому расследованию выявленных случаев COVID-19 на территории Омской области за период с 27 марта по 19 июля 2020 года. Для оценки потенциала COVID-19 к распространению рассчитаны экспоненциальный темп прироста (r), базовый показатель репродукции (R0), эффективный показатель репродукции (Rt), ожидаемый естественный размах эпидемии и порог коллективного иммунитета. Обработка данных выполнена с использованием MS Excel 2010. Построение картограммы проводилось в приложении QGIS 3.12-Bukuresti в системе координат EPSG: 3576.

Результаты. За период с 27 марта по 19 июля 2020 года на территории Омской области было зарегистрировано 5503 случая COVID-19, показатель заболеваемости составил 285,6%ооо (95% ДИ 278,1÷293,2), летальность по завершенным случаям – 1,5%, по выявленным случаям – 0,9%. Наиболее активное распространение COVID-19 отмечено в г. Омске и 5 из 32 районов области (Калачинском, Нововаршавском, Русско-Полянском, Москаленском, Азовском немецком национальном).

Наименее вовлечены в эпидемический процесс возрастные группы от 0 до 19 лет и 20-29 лет. Наиболее уязвимы мужчины 55-69 лет и женщины 50-64 лет. В структуре клинических форм COVID-19 на протяжении периода наблюдения отмечено уменьшение доли выявляемых бессимптомных форм и увеличение доли пневмоний. Установлено многократное увеличение числа внебольничных пневмоний в июне и июле 2020 г. по сравнению со среднемноголетними значениями 2017-2019 гг.

На фоне проводимых противоэпидемических мероприятий экспоненциальный темп прироста кумулятивного количества случаев COVID-19 составлял 6,6% в сутки, R0 - 1,4-1,5, Rt - 1,18, порог коллективного иммунитета - 28,6%. Ожидаемый размах эпидемии при условии продолжения действия ограничительных мер может достигнуть 58,0% переболевшего населения.

Заключение. Потенциал COVID-19 к распространению среди населения Омской области подавлен недостаточно. Уменьшение количества выявляемых вирусоносителей, не полное выявление COVID-19 среди заболевших внебольничными пневмониями создают дополнительные риски для скрытого распространения инфекции и осложнения эпидемической ситуации. Сохранение ограничительных мероприятий и превышение порога коллективного иммунитета (28,6% населения) позволит значительно снизить риски усиления распространения COVID-19 в Омской области.

Published: July 2021

Цель исследования – изучить особенности кожных проявлений COVID-19 у детей.

Материалы и методы

Проанализированы данные историй болезней 55 детей с подтвержденной инфекцией COVID-19. Из них 36 находились на стационарном лечении с диагнозом: внебольничная пневмония коронавирусной этиологии (вирус SARS-CoV-2) в детском инфекционном отделении ГБУЗ МО «МГКБ» г. Мытищи и 19 получали лечение амбулаторно по поводу ринофарингита и/или бронхита / трахеобронхита. Большинство пациентов имели среднюю степень тяжести (64% - 35 пациентов), лёгкую – 36% (20 пациентов). Дети были в возрасте от 8 месяцев до 18 лет. Вирус SARS-CoV-2 был идентифицирован методом полимеразной цепной реакции (ПЦР). Все пациенты получали стандартную терапию в соответствии с временными методическими рекомендациями, по показаниям – другие лекарственные средства.

Результаты

В 13% (у 7 детей) на фоне коронавирусной инфекции были отмечены уртикарные высыпания, в 5% (у 3 детей) – макуло-папулёзные. Зуд, как правило, был умеренно выражен. По данным анамнеза и наблюдений в динамике заболевания, экзантема у детей появлялась на сроке от 1-х до 8-х суток развития симптоматики COVID-19. Элементы сыпи сохранялись в течение от 1 до 7 суток. У 2 детей с наиболее выраженной экзантемой на фоне ринофарингита в отсутствии поражения лёгких отмечен длительный период значимых астено-вегетативных науршений. В одном случае в 1-е сутки экзантема была единственным проявлением коронавирусной инфекции.

Выводы

У 18% детей, наблюдавшихся с лёгкой и средне-тяжелой формами COVID-19, были выявлены кожные высыпания. Экзантема при коронавирусной инфекции у детей является одним из симптомов заболевания. Несмотря на более частое обнаружение уртикарной сыпи, прямой связи с аллергологическим анамнезом не выявлено.

Анализ геоданных проводили в приложении QGIS 3.14 Pi (qgis.org) с использованием плагина Visualist.

Результаты: Визуальное исследование пространственного распределения случаев COVID-19 на конец анализируемого периода позволяет выделить нескольких зон с повышенной концентрацией, совпадающих с расположением медицинских организаций. В первую очередь распространение COVID-19 охватывало Советский, Центральный и Кировский районы, а вовлечение Ленинского и Октябрьского административного районов произошло спустя короткое время.

Выводы: установлено неравномерное распределение случаев новой коронавирусной инфекции по территории Омска: выявлены тринадцать статистически значимых кластеров во всех административных районах города. Включение оперативной оценки пространственного распределения имеет огромный потенциал в планировании противоэпидемических мероприятий и является достаточно простой операцией, которая может быть выполнена в реальном времени.

Представлены состав, характеристика лекарственной устойчивости и уровни выявления бактериальных патогенов в пробах мокроты 82 больных с внебольничной пневмонией в зависимости от сроков их пребывания в стационаре: 44 человека обследованы в 1-3 день, 17 человек –на 4-10 день, 21 пациент на 11-22 день.

В целом, бактериальная флора выявлена у 64 из 82 наблюдаемых больных (78,0±4,6%). Значимые грамотрицательные патогены (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichiae coli, Acinetobacter baumannii complex, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia) выделяли в анализируемый период среди больных со средней степенью тяжести болезни с незначительной частотой (7,3±2,9%; 2,4±1,7%; 3,7±2,1%; 2,4±1,7%; 1,2±1,2%, соответственно возбудителям).

Лекарственноустойчивые формы K. pneumoniae, E. coli – продуценты БЛРС, выделяли исключительно на поздних сроках пребывания больных в стационаре. Возбудители из группы неферментирующих грамотрицательных бактерий (A. baumannii complex, P. aeruginosa, S. maltophilia) были выявлены как на ранних, так и на поздних сроках госпитализации. Однако выделители штаммов-продуцентов карбапенемаз A. baumannii complex прошли длительный курс (до 1 месяца) амбулаторного лечения.

Установлен высокий уровень выявления грибов рода Candida во все периоды стационарного наблюдения (65,9±7,1%; 70,6±11,4%; 42,8±11,1%). Все 4 вида грибов рода Candida (albicans, glabrata, tropicalis, krusei) выделяли как на ранних, так и на поздних сроках стационарного лечения.
Development of Refined Electromagnetic Models of Reciprocating Electric Generators with Permanent Magnets
Authors: Menzhinski A. B. , Malashin A. N. , Menzhinski P. B.
Published: July 2021

The analysis of scientific papers devoted to the mathematical description of electric generators of reciprocating motion with permanent magnets demonstrated that the proposed mathematical models of this type of generators are based on the theory of magnetic circuits. Such mathematical models are based on a simplified representation of the magnetic system and the magnetic field in the form of a magnetic circuit with corresponding magnetic conductivities. However, unlike traditional rotary type electric machines, electric generators of reciprocating motion have a number of features, the omission of which in mathematical modeling causes the increase of  the cost of their creation (due to the duration of the design and experimental refinement of the generators). Therefore, at the initial stages of electromagnetic calculation and solving optimization problems, it is necessary to use adequate mathematical models to improve the accuracy of calculations of the parameters of these generators. For this purpose, a mathematical model based on field theory can be used; however, its main drawback is the complexity of its application for solving optimization problems. In this regard, to improve the accuracy of calculations of the parameters of electric generators of reciprocating motion with permanent magnets, it is proposed to use refining coefficients (coefficients of scattering and buckling of the magnetic flux) in mathematical models based on the theory of magnetic circuits. The authors have developed refined electromagnetic models of electric generators of reciprocating motion with permanent magnets, which make it possible to obtain the main parameters of generators at the initial stages of electromagnetic calculation and when solving optimization problems with acceptable accuracy. A distinctive feature of the refined electromagnetic models of generators is the consideration of the scattering and buckling coefficients of the magnetic flux in the magnetic system that change during the simulation.

Quantifying Normal Fault Evolution from River Profile Analysis in the Northern Basin and Range Province, Southwest Montana, USA
Authors: Armstrong Ian P. , Yanites Brian J. , Mitchell Nate , DeLisle Clarke , Douglas Bruce J.
Published: July 2021

Over the past few decades, tectonic geomorphology has been widely implemented to constrain spatial and temporal patterns of fault slip, especially where existing geologic or geodetic data are poor. We apply this practice along the eastern margin of Bull Mountain, Southwest Montana, where 15 transient channels are eroding into the flat, upstream relict landscape in response to an ongoing period of increased base level fall along the Western North Boulder fault. We aim to improve constraints on the spatial and temporal slip rates across the Western North Boulder fault zone by applying channel morphometrics, cosmogenic erosion rates, bedrock characteristics, and calibrated reproductions of the modern river profiles using a 1-dimensional stream power incision model that undergoes a change in the rate of base level fall. We perform over 104 base level fall simulations to explore a wide range of fault slip dynamics and stream power parameters. Our best fit simulations suggest that the Western North Boulder fault started as individual fault segments along the middle to southern regions of Bull Mountain that nucleated around 6.2 to 2.5 Ma, respectively. This was followed by the nucleation of fault segments in the northern region around 1.5 to 0.4 Ma. We recreate the evolution of the Western North Boulder fault to show that through time, these individual segments propagate at the fault tips and link together to span over 40 km, with a maximum slip of 462 m in the central portion of the fault. Fault slip rates range from 0.02 to 0.45 mm/yr along strike and are consistent with estimates for other active faults in the region. We find that the timing of fault initiation coincides well with the migration of the Yellowstone hotspot across the nearby Idaho-Montana border and thus attribute the initiation of extension to the crustal bulge from the migrating hotspot. Overall, we provide the first quantitative constraints on fault initiation and evolution of the Western North Boulder fault, perhaps the farthest north basin in the Northern Basin and Range province that such constraints exist. We show that river profiles are powerful tools for documenting the spatial and temporal patterns of normal fault evolution, especially where other geologic/geodetic methods are limited, proving to be a vital tool for accurate tectonic hazard assessments.
Creatively Improving Agricultural Practices and Productivity: Pro Resilience Action (PROACT) project, Nigeria
Authors: Osidoma Japhet , Kinkwa Ashiru Mohammed
Published: July 2021

Since April 2016, The European Union and the Oxfam Pro-Resilience Action Project in Kebbi and Adamawa States, Nigeria, have supported poor smallholder rural farmers to improve their agricultural productivity. The project has a specific focus on increasing crop yields per hectare for better land usage, as well as ensuring farmers possess the skills they need to maintain good agricultural practices, such as inputs utilization and climate mitigation strategies, as well as an information-sharing system on weather and market prices. The project uses a Farmer Field School model that continues to serve as a viable platform for rural farmers to access hands-on skills and basic modern farming knowledge and techniques. The case studies presented here demonstrate a significant increase in farmers’ productivity, income and resilience. This approach should be emulated by governments and private sector players to achieve impact at scale in Nigeria’s agricultural sector, which is the country’s top non-oil revenue stream.
Tipping the Scales: The role of responsibility- and solidarity-sharing in the situation on the Greek islands
Authors: Kafkoutsou Natalia-Rafaella , Oikonomou Spyros-Vlad
Published: July 2021

This report assesses the impact of EU countries’ refusal to relocate asylum seekers on the Greek islands. It illustrates that they have consistently failed to show solidarity by not delivering on commitments to relocate people, either by refusing to participate in the first place or by not fulfilling their pledges. This has left thousands of people in need of assistance on the Greek islands. EU countries have also consistently tried to avoid their legal obligations by putting barriers in place to keep families apart.
Towards a Gender-Sensitive Private Sector in the OPT
Authors: AbuMezied Asmaa , Rahhal Rahhal
Published: July 2021

This learning paper describes Oxfam's experience of conducting a Participatory Gender Audit with private sector companies in the agriculture sector in the OPT. It highlights issues such as women’s limited access to the labor market, their weak representation both as staff and as decision makers, the absence of gender-sensitive working conditions and policies, and a lack of consideration for women as customers and suppliers. The paper looks at the approach used when conducting the audits and the challenges around their implementation. It provides ideas and learning on how to successfully manage the audits so that companies are willing to buy in to the process and are supported to adopt gender-sensitive policies.

The EU-funded ‘Strengthening Land Governance System for Smallholder Farmers in Malawi’ project was implemented from 2015 to 2020 by a consortium made up of Oxfam in Malawi, LANDNET (until 2018) and CEPA, with technical support from DAI. The objective was to pilot, test and recommend for scale-up improved gender-sensitive land governance systems. This Effectiveness Review evaluates the success of this project to achieve the following focal outcomes: (1) By 2019, laws have been enacted that are relevant to the registration and titling of customary estates and are ready for implementation and (2) By 2020, women and men in two or more of the target Group Village Headpersons (GVHs) in Phalombe, Kasungu and Rumphi districts have secure land tenure with supporting land governance structures. Using a process tracing approach, achievement of these focal outcomes and the consortium's contribution were assessed. Find out more by reading the full report now.
Gender Analysis of the Impact of Recent Humanitarian Crises on Women, Men, Girls, and Boys in Puntland State in Somalia
Authors: Ochiltree Kasey , Toma Iulia Andreea
Published: July 2021

Situated in a complex region of the world, Puntland State in Somalia is dealing with a range of threats and instabilities such as droughts, floods, locusts, the movement of internally displaced people (IDPs), and armed actors. COVID-19 has added yet another strain on its tremendously fragile infrastructure. The impact of the pandemic has been far reaching, affecting livelihoods and hampering unpaid and underpaid care work and responsibilities. The multitude of crises and rates of inflation have left the majority of families food insecure and without income, halted education and health services, and exacerbated existing vulnerabilities and the incidence of violence. This gender analysis was conducted and funded by the German Federal Foreign Office (GFFO), in partnership with Oxfam in Somalia and KAALO, to better help local government bodies, agencies, NGOs, and INGOs grasp the differentiated impact of the crises on women, men, boys, and girls, and host and IDP communities, during this time of intense loss and instability. The analysis provides an overview of the experiences of the affected communities, and gives recommendations on how to address immediate concerns and plan future programming.
Hybrid Cramer-Rao Bound On Carrier And Sampling Frequency Offset Estimation For OFDM Systems In Rayleigh Fading Channels
Authors: Cheng Qi , Russell Mosin (Andre)
Published: July 2021

For carrier frequency offset (CFO) and sampling (clock) frequency offset (SFO) estimation, the hybrid Cramer-Rao bound (HCRB) is developed when the CFO, SFO, information-bearing symbols are deterministic (non-random) and channel coefficients are random. Both noise and channel coefficients are complex Gaussian. For the HCRB to be applicable, it is necessary for deterministic parameters to be identifiable (uniquely determined). Some necessary identifiability conditions of some deterministic parameters are found and presented. The HCRB is dependent on the initial time instant. The HCRB is compared with some existing methods via simulation. Our results demonstrate that this bound is not tight enough. Further effort is needed to develop a tighter bound.
