Published: December 2022

Background

In patients admitted for acute heart failure (HF) indication for drugs which reduce the heart rate (HR) is debated. The multicentre prospective study Reduction of heart Rate in Heart Failure (RedRate-HF) was designed to analyse the hemodynamic effects of an early reduction of HR in acute HF.

Methods

Hemodynamic parameters were recorded by using the bioimpedance technique, which was shown to be accurate, highly reproducible and sensitive to intra-observer changes. Lowering HR was obtained by ivabradine 5 mg bd, given 48–72 h after admission on the top of optimized treatment. Patients were followed at 24, 48, 72 h after drug assumption and at hospital discharge.

Results

Twenty patients of a mean age of 67 ± 15 years, BNP at entry 1348 ± 1198 pg/ml were enrolled. Despite a clinical stabilization, after 48–72 h from admission, HR was persistently >70 bpm. Ivabradine was well tolerated in all patients with a significant increase in RR interval from 747 ± 69 ms at baseline to 948 ± 121 ms at discharge, P < 0.0001. Change in HR was associated with a significant increase in stroke volume (baseline 73 ± 22 vs. 84 ± 19 ml at discharge, P = 0.03), and reduction in left cardiac work index (baseline 3.6 ± 1.2 vs. 3.1 ± 1.1 kg/m2 at discharge, P = 0.04). Other measures of heart work were also significantly affected while cardiac output remained unchanged

Conclusion

The strategy of an early lowering of HR in patients admitted for acute HF on top of usual care is feasible and safe. The HR reduction causes a positive increase in stroke volume and may contribute to saving energy without affecting cardiac output.
Migration Flows through the Lens of Human Resource Ageing
Authors: Drobne Samo , Bogataj Marija
Published: December 2022

Background: Ageing and shrinking of the European population influence the shrinking of central places and the hinterland of cities in a spatial structure. Migration also influences the shrinking or growing of spatial units. Various factors influence migration and, thus, spatial units’ demographic, social and economic stability. The age structure of citizens in a spatial unit may change not only due to population ageing but also because these factors influence the migration flows of different cohorts differently, which has not been studied so far.

Objectives: We used data on internal migration between Slovenian municipalities in 2018 and 2019 to develop a cohort-based spatial interaction model to estimate future inter-municipal migration.

Approach: In a spatial interaction model, we analyzed differences in the attractiveness and stickiness of municipalities for different cohorts, focusing on those over 65 who may wish to prolong their working status. We also tried to answer the question of how to mitigate shrinkage processes in spatial units by investigating the potential to contribute to the social value of communities.

Results: The study’s results show that the 65+ cohorts do not have the same preferences regarding the attractiveness and stickiness factors as younger migrants.

Conclusions: The results of our study could contribute to better decisions at the national, regional, and/or local level when designing strategies for regional, urban, and/or rural development, exploring the best solutions for long-term care, and investing in appropriate networks, or considering the revitalization of rural municipalities.

Authors: Mojanoski Goran , Bucevska Vesna
Published: December 2022

The aim of this paper is to examine the reaction of South Eastern European stock markets to the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine. With a sample of seven stock market indices, the event study methodology is applied to examine the influence of the conflict between two countries on European ground over stock indices of emerging markets in South Eastern Europe. Results indicate that beginning of the conflict in late February brought a very strong significant price correction and stock markets in the examined countries became maximum oscillatory and subjected to light and rapid changes on a daily level. The findings contribute to the research on economic impact of the armed conflict by providing empirical evidence that conflict between two European (Non-European Union members) countries has spill-over effects on stock markets on other European (European Union members and Non-European Union members) countries. The findings have important implications for portfolio diversification and thus can serve in the asset allocation decision of investment managers.
Examining the key factors behind foreign language anxiety (FLA) in online teaching of English for Specific Purposes (ESP)
Authors: Lađarević Maja Novak
Published: December 2022

Though foreign language anxiety (FLA) has long been recognized as an important affective factor in second language learning, its impact is worth studying in new educational contexts of emergency remote teaching in response to the COVID-19 outbreak. The present study examines the key factors behind FLA in online teaching of English for Specific Purposes (ESP). The research was conducted among a sample of 171 first-year undergraduate university students of Economics & Business economics and Informatics at the Juraj Dobrila University of Pula, Croatia, during the winter semester of 2020/2021. The research instrument used was a 33-item questionnaire adapted from the FLCAS scale (Horwitz et al., 1986) to reflect the online ESP classroom environment. The main results indicate that various background factors, such as gender, self-assessed levels of proficiency, length of learning English and frequency of English language use, significantly influence the reported levels of language anxiety. Furthermore, the study establishes the underlying structure of FLA, with five factors positively correlated with overall language anxiety at the. 01 level of statistical significance: speech anxiety, evaluation and comprehension anxiety, online ESP classroom environment, anxiety of talking to native speakers, and lack of motivation for online class attendance. Finally, multiple regression analysis shows that the five aspects of FLA, alongside the variables of gender and self-assessed pronunciation proficiency, represent statistically significant predictors of the total level of FLA among online ESP learners. The other independent variables are confirmed to be unreliable in predicting the overall level of language anxiety in an online ESP classroom.

Published: December 2022

A coated composite was prepared on polyester-cotton plain weave fabric, using PU2540 polyurethane as the matrix. The influences of the content of nickel powders on the dielectric constant (the real and imaginary parts and loss tangent value), reflection loss and shielding effectiveness of single-layer coated composites were mainly investigated. The results showed that within the frequency range of 1–1000 MHz, the value of the real part of the dielectric constant of the coated composites was the largest, and the polarisation ability with regard to electromagnetic waves was the strongest when the content of nickel powders was 40%. Within the frequency range of 15–225 MHz, the value of the imaginary part of the dielectric constant of the coated composites was the largest and the loss ability with regard to electromagnetic waves was the strongest when the content of nickel powders was 40%. Within the frequency range of 250–800 MHz, the loss tangent value of the dielectric constant of coated composites was the largest, and the attenuation ability with regard to electromagnetic waves was the strongest when the content of nickel powders was 40%. Within the frequency range of 1220–3000 MHz, the reflection loss value was the smallest when the content of nickel powders was 40%, and its absorption ability with regard to electromagnetic waves was the strongest. Within the frequency range of 760–3000 MHz, the shielding effectiveness of the coated composite was the largest when the content of nickel powders was 40%.

Published: December 2022

The health of the gastrointestinal system of pigs is still a topical issue. When focusing on the youngest categories of pigs, we routinely evaluate it on the basis of appetite assessment and physical examination of faeces. A piglet’s gut health is also related to the development and changes of pH in the digestive system. Because there is little scientific work in this area, the aim of this study was to evaluate the physiological range of faecal pH in healthy suckling piglets from birth to weaning. Faecal pH measurements were performed in thirty-five suckling piglets at the time of the piglets’ birth, on the 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th day of their life. We found the mean pH values to be 6.38 ± 0.46 within 24 hours after birth; 7.14 ± 0.23 on the 7th day after birth; 7.23 ± 0.23 on the 14th day after birth; 7.42 ± 0.60 on the 21st day after birth; and 7.72 ± 0.61 on the 28th day after birth. Statistical analysis showed significant differences between the pH of the faeces of new-born piglets and the samples taken in the following weeks of the experiment (P < 0.05; P < 0.01; P < 0.001). Measuring faecal pH can be a simple, quick and inexpensive method used to determine the health status of piglets’ intestines.
The Effect of the Cryotherapy on the Health and Welfare of Dogs: Preliminary Study
Authors: Verebová V. , Staničová J.
Published: December 2022

This study is focused on determining the cryotherapeutic effects in the treatment and welfare of dogs. We characterized the basic principles of cryotherapy as well as summarized and statistically processed the current state of the application of this form of therapy in a veterinary practice. Recent scientific studies have shown that cryotherapy is mainly effective in treating skin diseases and problems with the musculoskeletal system including minor injuries caused by excessive muscle strain. It can also be used in combination with anti-inflammatory drugs to treat the respiratory system. Moreover, cryotherapy can be an effective form of treatment for ageing. Our study involved a survey evaluation given to veterinarians in Slovakia, Czechia, and Hungary with a key question regarding their experiences with cryotherapy and cryosurgery in dog therapy. Statistical results demonstrated that Slovak veterinarians do not utilize cryo-methods satisfactorily. A summarization of the reasons could start a change in this unfavourable aspect in Slovak veterinary medicine and contribute to better promotion of cryotherapy application in the therapy of animals.
The Linguistic Shape of Things to Come
Authors: Bertetti Paolo
Published: December 2022

Published in 1958, The Languages of Pao by Jack Vance is one of the earliest linguistic speculations in the science fiction genre. Directly inspired by the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis, it describes a complex, linguistic engineering experiment set up to transform the essentially peaceful nature of the inhabitants of the planet Pao, so that they might stand up to invaders from another planet. It does so through the creation and implementation of three new languages, as opposed to the one they already speak, to create a merchant class, technical class, and warrior class. While Vance’s extrapolation is excessively schematic, and certainly leans heavily on a concept of linguistic relativism that now sounds rather dated, other science fiction writers have explored in different ways the idea that language influences thought and perception of the world, beginning with Babel 17 by Samuel Delany, and Ted Chiang’s Story of Your Life (on which the film The Arrival by Denis Villeneuve is based). But of particular importance here is Mother Tongue by Suzette Haden Elgin. Her novel is set in a dystopian, patriarchal future, where a group of linguists creates an artificial language, the Làadan, to better express women’s perception of life and as an act of resistance to the dominant male-centred culture, thus anticipating many themes in today’s debate on language and gender.
The New Cold War: Cyber Frontline
Authors: Sybikowska Bogdana
Published: December 2022

The ongoing escalation of animosities between the United States, the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China is beginning to resemble the Cold War, which as a historical period might have ended in the twentieth century, but still endures as a state of hostilities between the countries, expressed in the form of an indirect conflict. These countries are actively growing their cyber capabilities that enable indirect and covert operations aimed at their opponents. In cyberspace, the states involved express the hostilities and the aims they try to achieve in the least detectable way. As a result, cyberspace has been securitized. It has been recognized by NATO as a domain of activities. In the United States, the National Cybersecurity Strategy has been published, recognizing cyberspace as an integral part of the economy and defence. A similar document called the Information Security Doctrine was issued in the Russian Federation, which manifests Russia’s aspirations in the field of information technology. The militarization of this area shows that cyberspace is becoming a battlefield in the new cold war. The Russian military invasion of Ukraine is complemented by the activities in the cyberspace. I analyse the new confrontation between the above-mentioned powers, looking for features of the Cold War in it. In particular, I examine the cyber capabilities of the United States, Russia and China. The article claims that the concept of cold war may be applicable to numerous historical eras, including the one that is still in effect now.

Authors: Sidor Monika
Published: December 2022

The article presents the issues of local identity. One of the main objectives was to indicate how to determine the local identity of councilors of municipalities and counties on the basis of three selected indicators. The article consists of three parts. The first will present the theoretical foundations of identity and its types. The second part shows how it can determine the local identity. The third part is empirical. The study, carried out with the use of a questionnaire, covered the councilors of the city of Lublin, the council of lubelski county, and councilors from 8 municipalities included in lubelski county. The electoral terms 2002–2006 and 2014–2018 were selected for the analysis. The quantitative and descriptive methods were used in the study. The analysis of the research shows that the overwhelming majority of councilors show local identification, but its territorial range is different and not only at the municipality and county level.

Authors: Pařil Vilém , Viturka Milan , Rederer Václav
Published: December 2022

This paper is focused on high-speed railway planning and its general aim is to assess potential commuting behaviour change on the example of planned high-speed railway in Czechia. We used standard geographical methods based on census data from 2011 in relevant ten regional centres and two important railway junctions that will be connected to high-speed railway according to planned network. The rest of three regional centres not planned to be connected to high-speed railway are disregarded. We assessed the attractiveness of relevant centre for commuter mobility change. The results document the strategic position of Prague as the main commuting centre, which relevant indicators significantly exceed all other labour mobility centres (the second most crucial centre Brno is about half the important one). This fact was confirmed by analyzing gradient labour areas and evaluating commuting relations among relevant centres. The assessment of potential impacts of HSR on labour markets is then carried out using the model of the marginal rate of labour mobility, where it is possible to count on positive impacts except for Prague on two other commuter centres, Brno and Pilsen. In the case of other analyzed centres, we can count on increasing the potential of a trip for work to the centres mentioned above.
Forced Migrations and the International Law
Authors: Emini Ridvan , Tahiri Mentor
Published: December 2022

Forced population migration is not a modern phenomenon. It is often an integral part of totalitarian policies and has been used repeatedly to ensure the survival of political regimes or achieve specific political ambitions. Violent migration is present practically throughout history when considering the time scope and everywhere, practically in all continents of the world, with a specter of variations depending on the context imposed by the political circumstances, we can encounter it under different names. These variations have also reflections in the terminology used, among others, they are also indicators that speak of the different methods applied in order to achieve particular policies.

Individuals, families, or even whole peoples are forced to migrate violently, abandon their homes and leave behind them all their lives, including the material goods created up to that moment. Seen from a normal retrospective, forced migration represents the culmination of a regime’s goals to dominate the territory without hindrance from any possible resistance. This fact has brought so many tragedies to humanity, and even worse, it has often ended with “legitimization” by international treaties or has even been the product of inter-state agreements. Forced population migration has clearly brought to the surface the evil purpose and has revealed territorial ambitions.

Authors: Zejneli Rina , Arifi Besa
Published: December 2022

Criminal responsibility refers to a person’s ability to understand his action, behavior at the time a crime is committed, what a person is thinking when he commits a crime or the expected result when a crime is committed. Crime is defined in terms of an act or omission (actus reus) and a mental state (mens rea). In this paper, is presented the general concept of irresponsibility and essentially reduced responsibility as a reason to be exempted from the punishment provided by the Criminal Code. Any perpetrator of a criminal offense who is capable of undertaking any action can be an active subject of a criminal offense, with the fact that regarding their sanctioning by the criminal system is concerned there are some restrictions related to age as well as dividing the perpetrators into responsible and non-responsible ones. For a person to be convicted of a crime, there must be evidence that proves his guilt, and that proves whether the perpetrator was in a regular state of mind or committed the criminal offense due to his irresponsibility.

Another important element of this scientific paper is the historical aspects of how irresponsibility has been treated from the customary law to the present day, a huge focus gets also the treatment of the biological-psychological concept on one hand and the treatment of the legal concept on the other hand for this category of people. A criminal defendant who turns out to have been incapacitated at the time he committed a crime may be acquitted because of his incapacity, or he may be sentenced leniently because he was unable to understand the importance of his actions. Legally, the defendant must prove and convince the court that he was not able to understand his actions, or he is not able to distinguish right from wrong, or he must prove that he committed the act in uncontrolled impulses.

Article presents a clinical case report of late aortic coarctation (CoA) diagnosis of a 39-year-old woman. Considering that CoA is a rare congenital pathology, diagnosed and corrected mainly in childhood, physicians supervising patients over 18 years of age often exclude this disease from their diagnostic search. Meanwhile, the reported clinical case demonstrates specificcomplaints and features of the anamnesis, if were analyzed carefully would allow to establish a diagnosis much earlier.

   The main purpose of the publication is to remind primary care physicians about measuring blood pressure in the upper and lower extremities of young patients with arterial hypertension, without a history of aggravated cardiovascular diseases, and also to have the most common causes of secondary hypertension to be excluded: the endocrine system, kidneys and their vessels pathologies.

   In addition, the authors raise a number of interesting practical questions arising from the presented clinical case and give detailed answers in the discussion part of the article.
The potential of modern statistical analysis for the study of microcirculation parameters on the example of the bulbar conjunctiva biomicroscopy (lecture)
Authors: Korneeva N. V. , Leonov V. P. , Zhmerenetsky K. V.
Published: December 2022

The article is devoted to the correct use of modern statistical methods in data analysis. Considering the complexity of choosing and implementation of statistical method for data analysis and correct interpretation of the results we emphasize the importance of interaction between a medical scientist (biologist) and biostatistician. The article in a clear way emphasizes the correctpresentation of the results as a table and graphic form, recalls the differences between normal and other types of distribution of quantitative characteristics in the aggregate. Examples of using the multivariate methods are given in detail: discriminant analysis and logistic regression. The results of the original bulbar conjunctiva microcirculation study by the biomicroscopy were provided an example of the potential of these complex and infrequently used statistical methods. The conclusions emphasize the need for cooperation between a medical researcher (biologist) and biomedical statistician for the correct application of statistical methods, the maximum extraction of useful information from the primary data, as well as assistance in interpreting the results obtained. The authors provide an extensive list of statistical literature that studying can help medical scientists understand this complex science.
Strefy przemysłowe w rozwoju lokalnym na przykładzie Wielickiej Strefy Aktywności Gospodarczej
Authors: Wiedermann Krzysztof , Godzik Dorota
Published: December 2022

Celem artykułu jest przedstawienie roli działalności stref aktywności gospodarczych w rozwoju lokalnych ośrodków miejskich i ich otoczenia. Głównym obszarem badań był teren miasta i gminy Wieliczka – ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem Wielickiej Strefy Aktywności Gospodarczej (WSAG). W ramach przeprowadzonej analizy skupiono się przede wszystkim na oddziaływaniu przedsiębiorstw na rynek pracy i na dochody budżetu gminy. Na podstawie literatury przedmiotu oszacowano także skalę efektów mnożnikowych wynikających z rozwoju przedsiębiorstw na terenie WSAG. Przedstawienie wpływu firm zlokalizowanych na obszarze WSAG na rozwój społeczno-gospodarczy gminy pozwoliło określić skalę korzyści wynikających z inwestycji środków publicznych w tworzenie tego typu stref inwestycyjnych. Analizując rolę WSAG w rozwoju lokalnej gospodarki, autorzy zidentyfikowali zależność między napływem inwestycji a trwałym wzrostem popytu na miejscowym rynku pracy. Dotyczyło to także odporności nowo powstałych miejsc pracy w kontekście pandemii SARS-CoV-2.
Wpływ portów lotniczych na rozwój lokalny i regionalny oraz ich funkcjonowanie w stanach kryzysowych
Authors: Dąbrowska Ewa
Published: December 2022

Zagadnienie rozwoju infrastruktury lotniczej w danej jednostce przestrzennej i wpływu na tę jednostkę jest zjawiskiem złożonym, wymagającym podjęcia odpowiednich studiów i analiz. Głównym celem artykułu jest analiza funkcjonowania portów lotniczych w perspektywie ostatnich stanów kryzysowych. Lotniska stanowią ogromny i jak dotąd niewykorzystany potencjał, mogą bowiem pełnić nie tylko funkcje transportowo-komunikacyjne, lecz także stanowić istotny katalizator koniunktury, przez co dają szansę rozwoju dla wielu obszarów i jednostek administracyjnych. Przyjęto założenie, iż następujące po sobie i nakładające się stany kryzysowe w znacznym stopniu spowalniają rozwój i negatywnie wpływają na funkcjonowanie portów lotniczych, co z kolei przekłada się na rozwój lokalny i regionalny jednostki przestrzennej, na której terenie jest zlokalizowane lotnisko. W niniejszym opracowaniu podjęto się odpowiedzi na następujące pytania: (1) jakie funkcje pełnią współczesne lotniska oraz jaki jest ich wpływ na różne sektory gospodarki na danym obszarze; (2) w jakim stopniu lotniska przyczyniają się do tworzenia i generowania nowych miejsc pracy; (3) jakie są efekty oddziaływania lotniska na rozwój gospodarczo-społeczny danej jednostki przestrzennej, z uwzględnieniem uwarunkowań stanów kryzysowych, jakim były stan pandemii COVID-19, konflikt wojenny w Ukrainie, rozpoczęty w 2022 r., a także pogłębiający się kryzys gospodarczy; (4) jakie jest strategiczne znaczenie lotnisk – w związku z pełnieniem przez nie istotnych funkcji dla danego obszaru – szczególnie w stanach zagrożenia kryzysowego. W wyniku przeprowadzonych analiz zaprezentowano możliwości oraz zagrożenia rozwoju portów lotniczych z perspektywy rozwoju gospodarczo-społecznego na tle ogólnoświatowych i europejskich trendów, jak również ze względu na uwarunkowania polskiego rynku oraz w perspektywie dokonujących się zmian geopolitycznych i wzrostu znaczenia zapewnienia bezpieczeństwa.
Sharing economy w okresie pandemii COVID-19 analiza pola semantycznego
Authors: Szymańska Anna Irena
Published: December 2022

Obserwowane kryzysy światowe stawiają pod znakiem zapytania dotychczasowy model ekonomiczny, mechanizmy działania poszczególnych instytucji, a także styl życia całych społeczeństw. Kryzysy te nie tworzą nowych problemów i wyzwań, a wzmacniają już istniejące i rozwijające się trendy. Identyfikacja oraz analiza długotrwałych, ogólnospołecznych i gospodarczych zjawisk nazywanych megatrendami pozwala na zdefiniowanie najbardziej istotnych tendencji o charakterze globalnym i cywilizacyjnym. Wiedza o nich pozwala zaplanować przedsiębiorstwom odpowiednią strategię działania i projektować kierunki dalszego rozwoju. Celem artykułu było zidentyfikowanie przemian w zachowaniach ludzi młodych (pokolenia C, nazywanego również digital natives) w obszarze sharing economy w okresie pandemii COVID-19. W badaniach empirycznych zastosowano podejście jakościowe, wykorzystując zogniskowane wywiady grupowe (FGI) jako metodę badawczą. Zebrany materiał empiryczny wykorzystano następnie w procesie analizy pola semantycznego. Eksplikacja sieci zależności dla wyłonionych słów-kluczy umożliwiła zrekonstruowanie dwóch definicji, które precyzują sposób, w jaki interlokutorzy postrzegają zjawisko sharing economy. Pierwsza z nich, bardziej uniwersalna, dookreśliła istotę zjawiska. Z kolei druga definicja odnosiła się do węższego postrzegania badanego zjawiska społeczno-gospodarczego, a mianowicie do aktywności w obszarze sharing economy w okresie pandemii.
