Abstract A descriptive study using evaluation technique was carried at the health organizations concerning STIs/HIV/AIDS, mainly the AIDS Researches and Studies Center in Baghdad and many of the AIDS sections in the Health Directorates in the Governorates throughout the period of May 15th , 2003 through September 30th, 2003( to describe the surveillance system for the period 1993 through 2002). The study aimed to describe the STIs/HIV/AIDS surveillance system in Iraq. System evaluation questionnaire was adopted from WHO and developed for the purpose of this study. Content validity of questionnaire was established through a panel of 12 experts. Interobservor reliability method was carried out by two researchers to establish the reliability of the instrument and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient was computed for such reliability as (0.93). Data were collected through two ways, firstly from the documented information which was available in the health organizations concerning STIs/HIV/AIDS surveillance activities and secondly from the direct interview that was carried out with the health workers who are involved in the surveillance system. The data were analyzed through the application of descriptive statistical analysis (frequency and percentage). The study reveals that the activities of the surveillance system are covering all over the country through its distributed health facilities. The surveillance system is focusing on capture, control and prevent transmission of Syphilis, HIV and AIDS as a health events of devastating consequences on the patient and community. Also it succeeds in identification and coverage of the risk groups. National regulation notification of new HIV+ve case is very rapid to control the case and to protect the community . Control measures are so effective in preventing the transmission of these diseases. Three levels (Peripheral , Intermediate and Central) are identified to conduct the surveillance activities all over the country, through which special schedule of time is depending in reporting the information . Feedback among these levels is taking the forms of sessions, seminars for the staff involved in the surveillance, the community and field visits to the sentinel sites. The study recommended that high technical communication means may be depended in reporting . Lastly, surveillance is to be included as a subject in the curriculum of the Community Health Nursing as well as for Community Medicine for undergraduate and post-graduate students.

Domain reduction method: Formulation, possibilities, and examples for analyzing seismic soil-structure interaction
Authors: Miladinović Borko
Published: September 2023

The Domain Reduction Method (DRM) enables the analysis of seismic soil-structure interaction in a different way compared to other seismic methods. Additionally, it allows certain very important aspects of the mentioned interaction, which are ignored in the usual seismic methods for justified reasons, to be addressed. All this, as well as the fact that this method is still unknown to the professional public and has not been implemented in modern seismic standards, motivated the writing of a paper in which the formulation of the DRM was first presented in detail. Then, the possibilities and approaches to its application in engineering practice were analyzed. In the end, simple dynamic analyses of the seismic interaction of the foundation soil and the pile-supported structure are performed using the DRM, a very specific and insufficiently researched type of seismic soil-structure interaction. Among other things, the results of the performed linear-elastic analyses point to the eventual possibility that the Lateral force seismic method, which is recommended by the Eurocode 8 standard for regular structures and which is most often used in engineering practice, underestimates the level of the lateral seismic load of pile-supported structures. A correct assessment of the seismic load is a fundamental requirement for ensuring a sufficient level of seismic resistance in structures.

Authors: Che Guozhu , Liu Ying , Zhang Na , Zhao Jing
Published: September 2023

Background: To assess the influence of serum level of YAP on laboratory examination findings, imaging findings and disease activity of rheumatoid arthritis patients combined cardiovascular disease (RA-CVD). Methods: RA-CVD patients (n=60), RA-nCVD patients (n=60) and healthy subjects (n=60) were recruited. Serum levels of YAP in them were detected by qRT-PCR. Their baseline characteristics were analyzed and compared. Disease activity, CVD risk factors and imaging findings in RA-CVD and RA-nCVD patients were evaluated and compared. In addition, potential influences of YAP on disease activity, CVD risk factors and imaging findings in RA-CVD patients were assessed. Results: RA-CVD patients had higher levels of ERS, anti-CCP, RF, HDL-C, CRP, FRS, BNP, LA, LVs, LVd and cIMT, and lower level of EF in comparison to RA-nCVD patients. Serum level of YAP was higher in RA-CVD patients than that of RA-nCVD patients and healthy subjects. YAP level was positively correlated to DAS28, TG, CRP, PLT, FRS, BNP and cIMT in RA-CVD patients. Conclusions: Serum level of YAP increases in RA-CVD patients. YAP is a potential factor driving the development of CVD in RA patients through regulating inflammatory response, lipid metabolism, glycometabolism and thrombosis.

As a result of rapid changes at the global level, there are certain risks when it comes to exercising the rights of the younger population. Unfortunately, cyberbullying is becoming everyday and therefore it is necessary to adequately act and implement the Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as the Family Law of our country (Republic of Serbia), in order to protect children in cyberspace. Also, in this paper, we will focus on the measures that need to be taken in order to improve the safety of children on the Internet. In the last part of this paper, the tort liability of minors for damages on the Internet will be considered.
Violence against women: Zero tolerance
Authors: Račić Anđelka
Published: September 2023

Violence against women has been present in every society for centuries. The right of men over the body and being of women was not questioned until the emancipation of women and the first works written on this topic in the 1960s. Today, half a century later, the prevailing view in all democratic societies is that violence against women is socially unacceptable and must be sanctioned. The principle of zero tolerance was adopted and applied - that is, the expression of zero degree of flexibility towards violence against women. No one can invoke their tradition and culture when violating the human rights and freedoms of others. The paper gives an overview of the concept of violence, comparative documents regulating this legal area, within the legal regulations, as the newly adopted Strategy for Prevention and Combating Gender-Based Violence against Women and Domestic Violence for the period 2021-2025. Also, the paper deals with the issue of the need for measures in the trial against violence against women, all with the aim of reducing it to as small a number as possible.
Subject matter and special types of legacies
Authors: Račić Anđelka
Published: September 2023

Legacy is a legal institute created in Roman law. Its significance is based on the circumstance that the testator orders the heir or some other person (debtor of the legacy) to transfer to the legatee from the inheritance some property benefit which may consist of handing over one or more certain things or rights, paying a certain amount of money, releasing a debt , some doing, not doing or suffering in favor of the legatee, etc., i.e. in all that may be the subject of any other obligation, provided that it is possible, permissible and determinable or determinable. The paper presents the concept of legacy, its development through history, regulation by modern legislation with special reference to the subject of legacies and its special types. Also, the importance of the necessary part of the heir, the inclusion of the legacy in the necessary part and the institute of the privileged heir were especially emphasized.
(No) power of the judicial institutions of the former Yugoslav countries in prosecuting those responsible for missing persons in armed conflicts
Authors: Milović Marko
Published: September 2023

The problem of resolving the fate of missing persons still exists, even though almost three decades have passed since the end of the conflict in the former Yugoslavia. According to official data, about 10,000 missing people remain to be found, but over time, hope is dwindling. We pointed out in the paper that this pace of finding would take who knows how many years and even decades, and many families will probably not wait for that moment to bury their missing relatives. Politics is still present, and this necessarily results in delays in resolving this problem. It was also pointed out that no one has been held criminally responsible for thousands and thousands of missing persons, nor are criminal proceedings initiated, but also for those who obstruct this issue.
Impact of FDI on economic growth in the Republic of Serbia in the age of crisis caused by the pandemic COVID-19
Authors: Nikolić Srđan , Nikolić Ivana
Published: September 2023

There is no general conclusion in the literature that foreign direct investment (FDI) contributes to the growth of the host country. The relationship between FDI and economic growth and their complexity is the most debated topic among economists. A significant number of studies conducted in the last few decades show how FDI boosts a country's economic development: it usually has a positive effect on the host country, although in some cases it can create limited benefits or even negatively affect the host country. The Covid-19 pandemic, viewed as an exogenous economic shock, has globally shown a significant negative impact and threat to the economy and financial markets, causing economic decline and recession. There was a significant decrease in GDP and consumption, a drop in labor supply and production, and a decrease in total FDI inflows at the global level by 42% in 2020 compared to 2019. The paper analyzes the impact of FDI inflows on economic growth in the Republic of Serbia during the crisis caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. By monitoring the fl ow of FDI inflows, it was determined that during 2018 and 2019 there was an increase in the level of investments (over 20% of GDP), while in 2020 there was a decrease in them (GDP of 1%). To accelerate the growth of GDP per capita in Serbia, it is necessary to improve institutions, education, as well as increase the investment rate.

Authors: Cvjetković Milena , Cvjetković Milovan , Kalinić Marija
Published: September 2023

The paper deals with the analysis and role of integrated marketing communications, supported by modern information and communication technologies, in building a brand and improving the business performance of organizations. Marketing orientation enables brand re-cognition on the market, while for consumer loyalty to a given brand, it is necessary to provide the desired level of quality. Correlation analysis determined the existence of the influence of quality on increasing customer satisfaction. In addition, statistically significant relationships were found between marketing communication and brand building, indicating their interdependence. The results of the correlation analysis show that there is an important correlation between quality and marketing communication to improve the business performance of the organization. Regression analysis found that quality has the greatest impact on customer confidence and improving business profitability, with quality management activities that have had the greatest impact are relationship management, people engagement, leadership and fact-based decision making. The results of the regression model pointed out that marketing communication contributes the most to creating brand recognition in the market and achieving greater market share, with the greatest contribution being made by economic propaganda, personal sales and public relations. Variables of quality and marketing communications have been shown to influence the variables of brand building, customer satisfaction and business performance, which are also factors in business improvement. Factor analysis determined the existence of two components, with one component bringing together the factors of brand building and customer satisfaction, while the other component brought together the factors of business performance. A statistically significant association was established between these two components. The aim of this research is to point out the importance of continuous quality improvement as a factor in increasing customer satisfaction, but also the importance of marketing communications in building a brand. Effective brand building in the market and satisfied and loyal customers are a prerequisite for improvement business by improving the business performance of the organization.

Slobodanka Stefanović: A life of a member of the resistance
Authors: Škodrić Ljubinka , Cvetković Slobodanka
Published: September 2023

Slobodanka Stefanović belongs to the generation of young men and women who reached adulthood during the thirties and who were willing to fight for the revolutionary transformation of their country. Her life and work as a member of the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, a member of the resistance, and a close associate of the important people in the post-war Yugoslavia, was sporadically mentioned in post-war historiography, and more recently it has been followed by the arbitrary media interpretations that have relied heavily on the process of her political rehabilitation. Her activity within the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, her work as a member of the resistance, her arrest, imprisonment, stay in the Institute for Compulsory Education of Youth in Smederevska Palanka and her tragic death soon after the liberation of Požarevac in 1944 are closely connected to her relationship with Slobodan Penezić Krcun, the relationship that has still been insufficiently studied. Judicial rehabilitation did not clarify the circumstances of her engagement during the Second World War, or the circumstances of her death, it only defined that her life ended without a proper judicial procedure and a verdict. Slobodanka Stefanović's life and death represent the rigorous relation of the Communist Party towards its members, which implied the complete subordination of the individual to the interests of the movement and its ideology. Mistakes, weakness and dispiritedness were not forgiven even to erstwhile friends, and if a transgressor was a woman, severe punishment was due because of the traditional view on women's role in society regardless of the emancipatory potential of the communist movement.

Deep Learning (DL) is a subfield of Machine Learning (ML) that deals with algorithms inspired by the structure and function of the brain. DL uses complex algorithms and deep neural nets to train a model. It consists of the learning of artificial neural networks that consider algorithms inspired by the human brain by learning how to use a large amount of data. It includes machine learning, where machines can learn by experience and get skills without human intervention. The importance of deep learning is the ability to process a large number of characteristics allowing deep and powerful learning when dealing with ambiguous data. This paper aims to study and analyze to be updated existing papers related to the deep learning field and introduce our contribution. An additional aim of this review paper is to concentrate on the self-driving cars case study and introduce the new approach with high performance.

It's better to die before dishonour: Linguistic creativity and the negotiation of meaning in the Nigerian Army community of practice
Authors: Mensah Eyo , Oreoluwa Beatrice , Ebong Offiong , Nyong Benjamin , Uwen God'sgift
Published: September 2023

This article investigates emblematic language use and the negotiation of meaning with particular emphasis on generative mechanisms like jargon and slang in two Nigerian Army barracks in Calabar municipality, Cross River State, south-eastern Nigeria. The study is anchored in a linguistic ideology framework which is grounded in beliefs and values people have towards explicit and implicit language use in a particular communicative context. Drawing on qualitative ethnographic data sourced through participant observation and semi-structured interviews with 30 participants who were purposively sampled, the authors argue that jargon and slang are indexical linguistic resources that enable military personnel to create diverse new meanings in the informal linguistic ecology of the army. We conclude that beyond helping to create a new linguistic convention in the barracks, jargon and slang also facilitate the construction of professional identity, enact inclusion/exclusion and sustain dominant values and professional ethos. The study focuses on ways of interpreting the specificity of the military world and the reality of dominance through the prism of these linguistic specimens. Jargon and slang, therefore, offer a firmer lens to appreciate the army's social universe and subjectivities, and more broadly to enhance an understanding of contextually embedded social practices in the military.
ANALYSIS OF THE LOCAL PRECIPITATION TRENDS
IN THE PODKARPACKIE AND LUBUSKIE VOIVODESHIPS
Authors: KUBISZYN Katarzyna
Published: September 2023

The type of precipitation is one of the factors taken into consideration when deciding on the most optimal drainage system. Drainage systems are used to prevent the landslides caused by water erosion. Rainfall affect the rate of infiltration and the intensity of surface runoff and thus the occurrence, course and effectiveness of erosion processes [1, 2, 3]. Knowledge of local precipitation trends will help to apply precautions and thus minimise the risk of adverse events such as landslides. What is more it can help more effectively manage projects risks and costs.
The aim of this study was to analyse more than 30 years of data from daily rainfall measurements from the Podkarpackie Voivodeship and to check whether the occurrence of precipitation is a random event or whether it indicates long-term trends that may affect changes in ground stability. The non-parametric Mann-Kendall test and correlation test were used for the analysis.

Published: September 2023

Space research industry has become one of the most successful domains in the last years. In particular, the development of nano satellites has emerged as a stunning field since its low costs of production. The software in charge of the satellite functioning must be carefully verified to check that system fulfills the expected behavior. In this work we provide a full, complete and declarative framework to formally validate software for nano satellite missions, including behavioral synthesis which is a distinguishable contribution in this field. When validating the satellite behavior we include requirements from different sources: on board computer, IoT protocols, operating system and mission properties. Our framework is based on the declarative and graphical language FVS (Feather Weight Visual Scenarios).
La escritura con hebras . Una lectura desde el feminismo descolonial de la acción textil en el Estado de México
Authors: Aguilera Bustos Alí
Published: September 2023

Este artículo reflexiona sobre la acción textil y la escritura colectiva como una forma de construcción de conocimiento desde una epistemología feminista descolonial, en la que se retoma la relevancia del lugar de enunciación, el conocimiento parcial y la experiencia para dar cuenta de un saber situado que parte de una matriz de opresiones. Es a partir de un relato en primera persona que se explora cómo existe un continuo femenino-feminista textil que, en el contexto sociopolítico del Estado de México, en donde hay un alto incremento de violencia hacia la vida de las mujeres, lleva a la organización de mujeres a utilizar la acción textil como una forma de denuncia, documentación, creación, organización y diálogo.
Imbricación de opresiones: una perspectiva de análisis para pensar el trabajo
Authors: Correa García Noelia
Published: September 2023

En este artículo problematizo el trabajo desde la perspectiva de análisis de la imbricación de opresiones. Para esto, en una primera instancia, realizo una aproximación genealógica sobre los aportes teórico-políticos en relación con la imbricación de opresiones, para luego problematizar el trabajo desde esta perspectiva de análisis. Principalmente, retomo conceptualizaciones de los feminismos y de investigadoras latinoamericanas que abordaron el tema trabajo, la división sexual del trabajo, así como la crítica que se realiza a esta última. Analizar desde la imbricación de opresiones implica estudiar cómo las estructuras de opresión se eslabonan, generando una conjunción entre ellas que se traduce en experiencias y condiciones de vida concretas. Identifico como estructuras de opresión las que se desprenden del capitalismo (desigualdades de clase), de la colonialidad (desigualdades étnico-raciales) y del patriarcado (desigualdades de género y por disidencias sexuales). Asimismo, cada estructura impacta en las otras, pues son producto y productoras entre sí. La colonialidad ha sido parte del despliegue capitalista y, a la vez, el capitalismo ha diagramado una geopolítica que da sostén a la colonialidad, así como el capitalismo y el patriarcado confluyen, por ejemplo, en la división sexual del trabajo. Es decir, no podemos pensar estas estructuras de manera separada porque cada una es indisociable de las otras, y su conjunción de produce condiciones sociales, históricas, políticas y económicas que diagraman formas de vivir en el mundo.

Published: September 2023

Stablecoins and money market funds both seek to provide investors with safe, money-like assets but are vulnerable to runs in times of stress. In this paper, we investigate similarities and differences between the two, comparing investor behavior during the stablecoin runs of 2022 and 2023 to investor behavior during the money market fund runs of 2008 and 2020. We document that, similarly to money market fund investors, stablecoin investors engage in flight to safety, with net flows from riskier to safer stablecoins during run periods. However, whereas in money market funds, run risk has historically materialized only in prime funds, with stablecoins, runs occurred in different stablecoin types across the 2022 and 2023 episodes. We also show that, similarly to intrafamily flows in money market funds, stablecoin flows tend to be within blockchains. Finally, for stablecoins, we estimate a discrete “break-the-buck” threshold of $0.99, below which redemptions accelerate.

Dramaturgia: do texto para a cena, da ação para o sentido
Authors: Parra Sandra
Published: September 2023

Este artigo tem como objetivo tratar da definição de dramaturgia. Para tanto, se debruça sobre a desvinculação do termo à noção de “texto escrito”, e sobre a explosão de significados deste conceito a partir da segunda metade do século 20. O entendimento dessa definição será construído a partir de uma revisão histórica e crítica da literatura de referência, artigos e textos acadêmicos, tanto de autores nacionais quanto estrangeiros. Na sua primeira parte, o artigo centra-se especificamente na origem teatral da noção de dramaturgia; em seguida, trata da expansão da dramaturgia para outras áreas, concentrando-se principalmente na dança contemporânea; e encerra tratando da noção de dramaturgia como estruturação do sentido do espetáculo, a partir de Ana Pais.

Atlas Coreodramatúrgico: constelações de imagens como método de criação em dança
Authors: Peretta Eden Silva
Published: September 2023

A presente proposta metodológica de criação coreodramatúrgica fundamentou-se em um uso crítico e negativo da imagem, tendo como disparadores a poética e os procedimentos utilizados pelo criador da dança Butô, Tatsumi Hijikata, e suas potenciais intersecções com o universo da filosofia da imagem, principalmente com as contribuições de pensadores como Didi-Huberman, Aby Warburg e Georges Bataille. Esta pesquisa teve início em um período de pós-doutoramento e gradualmente vem ganhando diferentes camadas materiais na medida em que seus procedimentos criativos vêm sendo atualizados em diversos contextos pedagógicos e artísticos. São apresentados aqui, portanto, alguns princípios de suas bases conceituais e relatadas experiências práticas de criação nas quais o Atlas Coreodramatúrgico (ACD) foi aplicado e complexificado nos últimos anos, tanto em disciplinas de graduação e pós-graduação, como no processo de criação de um grupo universitário de pesquisa artística.

An Experimental Study On Strength And Fresh Properties Of Fiber Reinforced Concrete With The Addition Of Sisal Fibers
Authors: Baini Mounika,  , Dr. H. Sudarsana Rao,  , Dr.Vaishali G Ghorpade
Published: September 2023

Concrete is a widely used building material, it is prone to quasi-brittle failure due to its high compressive strength but low tensile strength and it has limited capacity to restrict the energy absorption after yielding. It takes a huge amount of natural resources such as cement, coarse and fine aggregate. An alternative material that can be used in limited quantities to replace these natural resources may improve the performance of concrete. Natural fibers have recently generated a lot of interest in the world of building materials. Keeping in view, this study is conducted on the feasibility of adding naturally available fiber named sisal fiber in the concrete to get durability properties as they are efficient in tensile strength and preventing crack growth. The leaves of sisal plants are used to produce sisal fiber, it is mostly employed in applications such as rope manufacturing in the construction and marine industries. This research will be carried out on M30 Grade concrete and sisal fibers are added at a percentage of 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% to the weight of cement and the lengths of sisal fiber used are 1, 2 and 3cm. Concrete characteristics in fresh state are determined by conducting the slump cone test to figure out the water-cement ratio. Strength properties are determined by Compressive, Split tensile and flexural strengths after 28 days curing of concrete.
INDIGENOUS LIVELIHOOD PRACTICES OF THE PUROIK COMMUNITY OF ARUNACHAL PRADESH: A PERSPECTIVE ON POLICY CONSTRUCTION
Authors: RAMJUK MR. TAME
Published: September 2023

Knowledge of natural resource management is key to sustainable livelihood. The indigenous worldview of the Puroik community is known for by its cultural uniqueness in terms of forest survival skills, food habits and other forms of livelihood practices. They practice non-agricultural activities like hunting, trapping, fishing, foraging and honey collections and different other. They grow and preserve the Sago palm trees as the flour produced from the palm trunks is used as their stable food. Although these forms of practices are not quite practicable now among the youths and urban dwellers, yet it is still prevalent among the interior community living in the deep forests and hilly terrains. The indigenous method of livelihood practices including food habits of the community lacks any technical analysis and in-depth research towards its sustainability, affordability and stability. In this regard, the present paper is an attempt to understand the indigenous methods of livelihood practices and draw perspectives towards policy construction on food security. The study was conducted in 9 (nine) Puroik Settlements under Nyapin Block in Kurung Kumey District of Arunachal Pradesh with a mixed research design approach to meet the objective of understanding the indigenous lifestyle. To achieve the objective of the study, an un-structured and open ended interview schedule was administered for data collection. The study reveals that the majority of people still practice their age-old indigenous way of life. The study also found that their forest-centric food habits can easily secure their life in any point of time, be it drought or any other challenging circumstances.
Higher Prevalence and Poorer Prognosis of EGFR Mutant Lung Adenocarcinoma in US Hispanics
Authors: Mynard J Nathan , Voza Francesca , Nasar Abu , Cruz-Delgado Tatiana , Villena-Vargas Jonathan
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Activating mutations in Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) occur in approximately 15% White, 40-50% of Asian and 15% of Black patients with lung adenocarcinoma. However, its prevalence in the nearly 60 million U.S. Hispanics/Latinos has not been well characterized. Herein we evaluate EGFR mutation frequency in U.S. Hispanic/Latino patients with lung adenocarcinoma at an academic institute serving a large multi-ethnic area. Methods: We queried our prospective database (2015-2019) for lung adenocarcinoma patients who underwent surgical resection and had routine mutational analysis by a targeted gene panel. We identified 768 patients and were able to stratify 668 patients by self-identified race/ethnicity. We compared demographics (chi-square) and survival (Kaplan-Meier). Results: From 2015-2019, 668 patients met inclusion criteria and were evaluated for incidence of common targetable EGFR mutations. EGFR mutations were present in 30% of all patients with Hispanics/Latino experiencing an incidence of 35%, significantly more than non-Hispanic White patients, p=0.019. Overall survival at 3 years was not significantly different amongst racial/ethnic groups. However, in patients with EGFR mutations, 3-year overall survival was significantly worse in Hispanic/Latino patients in comparison to non-Hispanic White patients (62% vs 96%, p=0.021). There was no difference in the pathologic stage or surgical procedure amongst racial/ethnic groups. Discussion: Approximately one-third of U.S. Hispanics with lung adenocarcinoma displayed EGFR mutations which were associated with decreased overall survival compared to White and Asian patients. Increasing mutational analysis and investigation of biological differences of this growing ethnic group is essential for optimal targeted treatment strategies as well as in the design of future clinical trials.
