Pavarësia, shtetformimi dhe probleme të memories historike
Authors: Krasniqi Afrim
Published: February 2023

Në 104 vjetët e shtetit shqiptar, ngjarja më e rëndësishme politike e shtetërore mbetet Kuvendi i Vlorës (1912), me shpalljen e Pavarësisë dhe krijimin e shtetit. Proklamimi i pavarësisë, por edhe krijimi i qeverisë së parë, parlamentit të parë, sistemit të parë përfaqësues, legjislacionit të parë shqiptar, lidhjeve dhe marrëveshjeve të para me shtetet e tjera, e bëjnë simbolin e vitit 1912 unik dhe thelbësor për shekullin shqiptar. Në praktikat shtetërore, memoria që lidhet me etërit themelues dhe fillesat e shtetit zënë vend qendror dhe janë burim studimi, referimi, analize dhe reflektimi. Në përvojën shqiptare, kjo praktikë periodikisht nuk është respektuar. Disa prej periudhave dhe regjimeve e kanë injoruar memorien e pavarësisë për shkaqe ideologjike, disa të tjera për shkaqe subjektive që lidhen me raportin e historisë me bilancin praktik të rezultateve të saj. Përgjatë viteve 1913-1920, akti i Pavarësisë nuk mori rëndësinë e merituar, kryesisht për shkak të dështimit të përpjekjeve për jetësimin e shtetit, krizën e thellë që shoqëroi dëbimi me dhunë i Princ Wied-it dhe projektit perëndimor për Shqipërinë, pasojat e Luftës së Parë Botërore dhe pushtimin e territorit nga disa fuqi të huaja. Midis viteve 1920-1924 u bë jetësimi i shtetit, institucioneve, kushtetutës, ligjeve dhe bazës së tij funksionale, përfshirë elementin demokratik të konkurrencës, njohjes ndërkombëtare dhe rotacionit politik. Në këtë periudhë nuk jetonin më disa prej protagonistëve të Nëntorit 1912, disa vijonin të ishin protagonistë, kurse të tjerë u tërhoqën nga jeta politike e publike. Megjithatë, me përjashtime të vogla, kryesisht në raport me emra të veçantë me konotacion negativ, kjo periudhë solli rehabilitimin dhe vlerësimin shtetëror e publik të akteve të Pavarësisë dhe themelimit të institucioneve të para drejtuese e përfaqësuese të shtetit.

Në këtë punim do të paraqesim një historik të shkurtër për veprimtarinë e Mehmet Pashë Derallës. Kjo figurë e shtetit shqiptar, e cila akoma nuk është vlerësuar aq sa duhet deri në këto momente për gjithë veprimtarinë e tij dhe kontributin që ka dhënë në formimin e shtetit shqiptar dhe mbrojtjen e tokave nga synimet e fqinjëve tanë për t’i pushtuar. Akoma nuk është bërë një punim që të jetë i denjë për këtë figurë. Disa historianë tanë deri më tani kanë shkruar më shumë për tradhtarët siç ishte Esad Pashë Toptani, i cili më shumë interesohej për pushtetin e tij, ndërsa për shumë figura ë cilat me të vërtetë kanë dhënë kontribut të pastër për atdheun, nuk kanë marrë akoma shpërblimin moral. Do të duhet akoma shumë punë për të treguar në pah figurën e vërtetë të Mehmet Pashë Derallës. Shpresojmë që me këtë punim të kemi dhënë një kontribut sado të vogël për këtë figurë historike të popullit shqiptar.

Zgjedhja e Qeverisë së Princ Wied-it
Authors: Mehmeti Ndriçim
Published: February 2023

Zgjedhja e qeverisë pas ardhjes së Princ Wied-it, rezultoi se ishte një detyrë po aq e vështirë sa përzgjedhja e princit për fronin e Shqipërisë nga Fuqitë e Mëdha. Shqipëria ishte një vend i vogël i pa mësuar me një pushtet qendror dhe i udhëhequr gjithmonë prej autoritetit të klanit, fisit apo të parit të vendit. Kështu që mundësia e një zgjedhjeje të qeverisë, ishte shumë e rrezikuar në mos për të dështuar, për të mos funksionuar, siç duhej. Realiteti i brendshëm i vendit njihej shumë pak prej kryetarit dhe anëtarëve të qeverisë që u përzgjodhën, me përjashtim të Esat Pashë Toptanit. Prandaj, intrigat, thashethemet, keqkuptimet, deri në dëbimin e këtij të fundit, zunë më shumë vend sesa puna për konsolidimin e qeverisë. Nga ana e tyre, Fuqitë e Mëdha e panë të udhës të mos ndërhyjnë shumë dhe ta lënë gjithçka në dorë të rastësisë dhe princit të ri.

A Study on the Gyeongseong Tourist Guide in the 1930s
Authors:   Korean Society of Gyobang and Culture, Kim SangWon
Published: February 2023

In this paper, an aspect of Gyeongseong tourism conducted in the 1930s was examined through the Chosenryori·ensekinosiori published by the Gyeongseong Tourism Association in 1933. Chosenryori·ensekinosiori is a tour guide to Gyeongseong created by the Gyeongseong Tourism Association, which guides you through food you can enjoy in Gyeongseong, major tourist attractions, and the fees accordingly. On the other hand, simple Korean words and paintings are also introduced, and the nature of the guide is stronger for Japanese than Koreans who visited Gyeongseong. It is also characterized by introducing gisaengs and night cultures in Gyeongseong and allowing them to write their own expectations and characteristics. Another characteristic of this book is that it focuses on individual tourism rather than group tourism, emphasizing the safety of Gyeongseong’s security, and there is no introduction to the historical origin of various tourist attractions in Gyeongseong or the traditional culture and customs of Koreans. This is in contrast to the relatively detailed guidance on sexual culture such as high-quality restaurants in Gyeongseong, Gisaeng, and Galbo, and it is also characterized by the comparison of ways to access the entertainment of Gisaeng and restaurants in Japan. In other words, Chosenryori·ensekinosiori is more like a guide for individual entertainment rather than a guide for tourism to scenic spots in Gyeongseong.
State and perspectives of gastronomic tourism in Bosnia and Herzegovina: Case of Herzegovina region
Authors: Vukojević Dajana , Berjan Siniša , El Bilal , Čarkadžić Jana
Published: February 2023

Gastronomic tourism represents an important aspect in the tourism environment and is often a central segment of the tourist experience. The paper aims at analysing gastronomic tourism offer in the Herzegovina region (Bosnia and Herzegovina), taking into consideration its natural and cultural characteristics, and providing recommendations for its improvement. Primary data were collected by face-to-face interviews carried out with rural tourism stakeholders, managers of tourist organizations, owners of catering facilities, winery owners and local food producers as well as a survey with visitors (tourists). Field research was conducted in July 2019 in seven cities and/or municipalities of the Herzegovina region (Mostar, Trebinje, Capljina, Ljubuski, Bileca, Nevesinje and Gacko). The first part of the paper illustrates Herzegovina as a destination rich in natural and cultural attractions with a focus on traditional cuisine. In the second part, based on the research results, the situation is assessed and recommendations for the future development of gastronomic tourism are given in order to improve the existing tourist offer. Many actors in tourism (e.g. hotels, restaurants, local community, etc.) have realized the importance of gastronomy as a catalyst for the movement of tourists and stimulation of local, regional and national economic development. Typical products, such as domestic food and wine, have been given an adequate function to characterize the tourist offer and represent in many cases the main attraction. Herzegovina region is recognizable by its traditional cuisine, which represents an important asset for the future development of gastronomic tourism. Education and raising the awareness of all actors as well as local communities about gastronomic tourism is paramount for the sector development. Local entrepreneurial endeavours can benefit from connection and exchange with partners from Europe to create a recognizable gastronomic destination in the tourism market.
Development and implementation of sustainability criteria and indicators for eco-lodges and resorts in ecotourism destinations: Case studies from India
Authors: Chandran Chindu , Bhattacharya Prodyut
Published: February 2023

Ecotourism is the fastest advancing and developing market within the tourism enterprise and with faster progress; it's leaving an acute impact on the ecosystem. One of the significant stakeholders that can promote sustainability is ecotourism accommodation providers. In order to minimize their carbon footprint and negative environmental effects, many hotels and resorts around the world have launched innovative cost-saving measures. The sustainability of a destination for ecotourism is partly dependent on the success of local eco-lodges and resorts. Certification has emerged as a strong instrument for helping to conserve natural resources and cultural heritage. The study was planned to develop performance management standard criteria and indicators (C&I) for eco-lodges and resorts in order to track sustainability and current eco-tourism activities in India. The main objective is to ensure the fulfillment of the goals of ecotourism and to evaluate the working standard that is practiced in different destinations. After the stakeholder consultation, the draft standard of criteria and indicators was developed and accompanied by a comprehensive primary survey. To test the parameters of C & I, a case study review was performed across 10 prominent eco-lodges in India, which are located near ecotourism destinations. The findings of the study include the natural, social and economic aspects, along with a set of 3 principles, 5 criteria, and 86 indicators to determine the sustainable functioning of eco-lodges and resorts. Implementation of the C & I on the resorts showed that only two resorts were fully fulfilling all the C & I showing their activeness toward better sustainable management of their operations Best practice examples from different hotels of different sizes, ownership, and locations across India are also mentioned in the paper. Such examples reflect green management initiatives that support local communities, protect natural resources and cultural practices, etc.

The ear is an important sensory organ of the human body. Cochlea has a pivotal role in the hearing system of human. Nearly 300 million people around the world suffer from sensorineural deafness caused by cochlear lesions. Because the mechanism of cochlear sensing is very complex, it has not been understood completely so far, which has become one of the important problems in medicine today. The basilar membrane in the cochlear canal is the supporting structure of all microstructures, the complex coupling motion between basilar membrane and lymph in cochlear canal is the primary condition for generating the cochlear sound sensing function. Therefore, it is essential to study the dynamic behavior of the basement membranes. By dividing the length of the cochlea into a finite number of elements and giving the radial distribution, a set of governing equations is derived for coupling micromechanics with fluid. Then combining these equations with the matrix combination equation, the complete coupling response of basilar membrane and lymph is obtained. The instantaneous responses of the basilar membrane under different excitations, the time domain responses of the resonance position under different frequency excitations, and the effects of the changes of the mass and stiffness of the basilar membrane on its biomechanical properties and hearing function are analyzed. The results showthat the increase of the mass and stiffness of the basilar membrane leads to the weakening of the maximum response, and the increase of the mass causes the maximum response position to move to the bottom of the basilar membrane; the increase of the basilar membrane stiffness causes the maximum response position to move to the top of the basilar membrane; the changing basilar membrane cross-section can rapidly reduce the characteristic frequencies at the middle and top of the cochlea, thus achieving better filtering and amplification of specific frequency excitation, and enabling the cochlea to have a higher resolution in a specific frequency range of 1000–3000 Hz.This computational mathematics model can provide a numerical analysis platform for implementing the clinical evaluation of lesions in the basilar membrane of the inner ear. Compared with the existing finite element models, this method has faster calculation speed and higher efficiency of parameter analysis.
Molecular dynamics simulation of infrared absorption spectra of one-dimensional ordered single-file water

Compared with bulk water (BW), the water in nanochannels usually shows unique structural and dynamic properties, which is still unable to be effectively detected and characterized by existing experimental techniques. The spectrum is an effective technical means for studying and identifying the material composition and characteristics. In this study, the infrared absorption spectra of one-dimensional ordered single-file water (SW) confined in (6, 6) single-walled carbon nanotubes are calculated by molecular dynamics simulation. It is found that the ordered arrangement of SW results in an obvious blue shift and enhancement of the spectral peak in the 0–35 THz range relative to the bulk water. The analysis shows that this phenomenon is caused by the change of coupling weight of libration vibrations (including rock, twist and wag modes) of SW. The twist vibration mode and wag vibration mode with higher frequency are relatively easy to occur because the binding energy decreases under the single chain structure of water, which results in the blue shift and enhancement of the spectral peak. Meanwhile, the present study shows that the spectral component characteristics of SW can well predict and explain the structural and dynamic properties of SW. Further, terahertz simulation experiments show that the infrared absorption capacity of SW basically conforms with the spectral distribution characteristics.

In recent years, due to the discoveries of hyperon spin polarization and vector meson spin alignment in relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments, the spin transports in quark-gluon matter has received intensive studies. The relativistic spin hydrodynamics is one of the important theoretical frameworks to describe the spin transports, which encodes the spin degree of freedom into a hydrodynamic theory. The relativistic spin hydrodynamics have the conservation equations for energy-momentum tensor, currents and total angular momentum. In this article, we give an overview of the recent progresses of the relativistic spin hydrodynamics. We focus on the following topics: 1) The derivation of the relativistic spin hydrodynamic equations, including the phenomenological approach, the effective theory method, and the kinetic approach, 2) Some special properties of spin hydrodynamics, especially the asymmetric energy-momentum tensor and the pseudogauge transformation, and 3) The analytical solutions to the relativistic spin hydrodynamics for systems under Bjorken and Gubser expansion.

We review the recent progress in the studies of coherent photons induced high energy reactions in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions. The strong electromagnetic field created by a fast moving charged heavy ion can be effectively viewed as a flux of quasi-real coherent photons. In this paper, we mainly discuss two different type processes that coherent photons take part in: lepton pair production via photon fusion and diffractive vector meson production in UPCs. We focus on investigating the impact parameter dependent effect and the final state soft radiation effect. On the other hand, a series of recent work have revealed that coherent photons are highly linearly polarized with its polarization vector being parallel to its transverse momentum. It has been shown that the linearly polarized photons can lead to \begin{document}$\cos 4\phi$\end{document} azimuthal asymmetries in di-lepton production. This theoretical predication soon has been confirmed by the STAR measurement. With this new development from both theory and experiment sides, the linearly polarized photons provide a new experimental avenue to explore novel QCD phenomenology. For example, the linearly polarized photons can give rise to various different azimuthal asymmetries in diffractive vector meson production. These observables provide us unique chance to study two source interference effect in high energy scatterings, Coulomb-Nuclear interference effect as well as extracting gluon Wigner distribution. We will discuss these novel phenomenology studies and the possible future developments.

The All India Coordinated Research Project Sesame Centre, College of Agriculture, JNKVV, Tikamgarh (M.P.) conducted a field experiment in 2017 kharif season using a Randomised block design to examine the effects of several IPM modules on the control of the main sesame insect pest. The experiment was set up using a Randomized Block Design with three replications, six treatments, and 21.6 M2 plots for each, using the sesame variety modrate resistant TKG -22 as the test variety. All of the plots' seeds were treated with imidacloprid 600 (5g/kg seed), and all plots except for the control were intercropping with black gram (3:3) and yellow sticky trap (1 trap/plot). Profenofos 50EC (2ml/L), NSKE5% (T1 and T2), two sprays of NSKE5% + NSKE 5%, Profenofos 0.1% (2ml/l)+ NSKE 5%, and Profenofos 0.1% were used as the treatment, with the untreated control side receiving no treatment. The results showed that treated areas with insecticides outperformed untreated areas by a significant margin. Of the treatments, treatment T5 (imidacloprid 600FS (5g/kg seed) foliar spray of NSKE5% at 30 & profenofos 0.11% (2ml/l)45 DAS) was the most effective and recorded the lowest population of Antigashtra (0.17) larvae/5plant). Bud flies were greatly diminished, and the populations of the three main sucking pests—mirid bugs (0.24 bugs per three leaves/plant), white flies (0.48 Nymphs per three leaves/plant were at their lowest. In T5 (imidacloprid 600FS (5g/kg seeds + intercropping with black gram 3:3) foliar srpray of NSKE5% at 30, & profenofos 0.1% (2ml/l), the seed equivalent yield was also greatly increased. 45 DAS had the highest seed equivalent yield of 1176 kg/ha, the highest net profit of Rs. 78667, and the highest B:C ratio (6.11); T4 had the highest seed equivalent yield of 1075 kg/ha, the  net profit of Rs.70297, and the highest B:C ratio (5.48).

Aims: This research has as objective to evaluate the effect of NaCl salt stress on African eggplant plant growth and to determine the implication of the accumulation of Na+, proline and soluble sugars and the reduction of K+ in the detrimental effect of NaCl in the growth of this plant species.

Study Design: The experiment was laid out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD) having five treatments and three replications.

Place and Duration of Study: The experiment was carried out in screening house under natural  conditions at the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture, Commune of Abomey-Calavi. Republic of Benin from June to august 2022.

Methodology: Five NaCI concentrations (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 mM) were used to irrigate four weeks old plants for two weeks. Plant growth, sodium (Na), potassium (K), proline, and soluble sugars contents of leaves and roots were determined at the end of the experiment.

Results: Salt stress induced a significant reduction (P = .001) in shoot and root growth from 30 : 60 or 90 mM NaCI according to the growth parameter but had no impact on shoot water content. Leaf and roots Na+ contents significantly increased (P = .001) under salt stress whereas K+ content deoreased significantly (P = .05) only in root. Na change was observed for proline and soluble sugars contents in both leaf and root.

Conclusion: Salt stress reduces the growth of plants of African eggplant due mainly to Na+ ion toxicity. The ionic selectivity ratio (K+/ Na+) rather than the K+ ion content plays an important role in the response of plants of African eggplant to salt stress. Proline and soluble sugars accumulation appeared not to intervene.

Objective: An adequate sleep is essential for good mental health. Thus, this study associated the prevalence of the main symptoms of anxiety and depression with sleep quality in medical students at a Brazilian university center, a population frequently affected by these disorders.

Methods: This is a cross-sectional, descriptive and analytical study, with data obtained through online questionnaires answered by medical students, during the year 2022. To assess symptoms of depression and anxiety, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used, while, to assess the quality of sleep, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).

Results: 229 students participated in the study. Of these, 51% had anxiety symptoms. As for depression, 27,5% had depression symptoms. With regard to sleep quality, 28% had poor sleep quality and 71% good quality. There was a significant association between sleep quality and anxiety and depression symptoms (p<0.001): of the individuals with good sleep quality, 51% had possible and probably anxiety and 21,2% were classified as possible and probably depression. Furthermore, about the students with poor sleep quality: 80% were possible and probably anxious students and 43,8% were possible and probably depressive.

Conclusions: The study documents a statistically significant association between anxiety and depression symptoms and poor sleep quality. Further multicentric analyzes are needed to understand this scenario.

Background: Sickle cell disease is of public health importance and comes with systemic organ complications that can cause long-term disabilities and early death.

Aim: This study was to determine the effect of co-existence between sickle cell gene (HbS) and HIV infection in a Lagos population.

Methods: The study was conducted at the anti-retroviral (ARV) outpatient clinic of the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research (NIMR), Yaba, Lagos. It is a cross-sectional cohort study of 292 adult HIV- positive patients who were enrolled for treatment and support in the centre between the year 2004-2015. A review of case notes and database was done to extract haematologic, immunologic, virologic and clinical information of the patients. The enrolled participants were invited for additional clinical and socio-demographic information using a structured questionnaire. Blood samples were collected and reanalysed to confirm the haemoglobin genotype. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software.

Results: Out of 292 recruited patients, 274 participants had complete data of which 74.1%, 22.9% and 2.9% were HbAA, HbAS and HbAC respectively. Sickle cell trait (SCT) was found in 25.9% of the participants and there was no record of sickle cell disease (SCD). HbAA participants were found to have a higher viral load (87.5%) at baseline (P < 0.001). For HbAA and SCT groups, treatment response over the years was similar with lower figures seen in SCT.

Conclusion: It was concluded that lower HIV viraemia in SCT might mean a delay in HIV-1 disease progression and subsequently better quality of life for such patients.

Published: February 2023

This article addresses a key question of why businesses are failing to maximize business value from their artificial intelligence (AI) investments and proposes a strategic decision‐making framework for AI decision‐making to address this problem. We suggest that a firm's business strategy must drive AI‐driven business outcomes and measurements, which in turn should drive the AI implementation decisions. Very often, we find that businesses fail to successfully cast business problems into AI problems. To bridge this gap, we propose that firms use a performance management system such as objectives and key results (OKRs) to ensure that the business and AI goals & objectives are well defined, tightly aligned, and made transparent across the company, and the AI efforts are approached in an integrated manner by the different parts of a firm. We use McDonald's use of AI initiatives as a business use case to demonstrate support for our AI decision‐making framework. We argue that using the business strategy as a primary driver will enable firms to solve the right problems using AI, turning it to be a source of technology innovation and competitive advantage.

Despite its clinical success, chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T)‐cell immunotherapy remains limited in solid tumors, owing to the harsh physical barriers and immunosuppressive microenvironment. Here a CAR‐T‐cell‐based live microrobot (M‐CAR T) is created by decorating CAR T with immunomagnetic beads using click conjugation. M‐CAR Ts are capable of magnetic–acoustic actuation for precision targeting and in situ activation of antitumor immune responses. Sequential actuation endows M‐CAR Ts with magnetically actuated anti‐flow and obstacle avoidance as well as tissue penetration driven by acoustic propulsion, enabling efficient migration and accumulation in artificial tumor models. In vivo, sequentially actuated M‐CAR Ts achieves long‐distance targeting and accumulate at the peritumoural area under programmable magnetic guidance, and subsequently acoustic tweezers actuate M‐CAR Ts to migrate into deep tumor tissues, resulting in a 6.6‐fold increase in accumulated exogenous CD8+ CAR T cells compared with that without actuation. Anti‐CD3/CD28 immunomagnetic beads stimulate infiltrated CAR T proliferation and activation in situ, significantly enhancing their antitumor efficacy. Thus, this sequential‐actuation‐guided cell microrobot combines the merits of autonomous targeting and penetration of intelligent robots with in situ T‐cell immunoactivation, and holds considerable promise for precision navigation and cancer immunotherapies.
Enhancing the Stability of a Pt‐Free ORR Catalyst via Reaction Intermediates
Authors: Helsel Naomi , Choudhury Pabitra
Published: February 2023

Finding a platinum‐free cathode catalyst that effectively models the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) of a proton‐exchange membrane (PEM) fuel cell cathode better than the current commercial Pt/C catalyst has been a major shortcoming in fuel cell technology. Overall, a promising platinum‐free cathode catalyst must offer great ORR activity, ORR selectivity, and acid stability. Due to their enticing ORR activity and selectivity to the preferred four‐electron ORR pathway, the possible dissolution reactions and oxygen‐intermediate reactions of iron phthalocyanine monolayer supported on a pristine graphene (GFePc) and boron‐doped graphene substrate (BGFePc) have been studied to determine the stability as a function of potential and pH through spin‐polarized density functional theory (DFT) calculations at both infinitesimally low (10−9 m) and 1 m Fe2+/Fe3+ ionic concentrations. BGFePc offers higher stability in both concentrations than GFePc. In both cases, the oxygen‐intermediates are more stable than the bare catalytic surface due to the metal d‐band center shifting further away from the Fermi level in the valence band state (higher energy of antibonding). Moreover, at an Fe2+ ionic concentration, both catalysts would be stable in the potential and pH regions at the operating conditions of rotating disk electrode (RDE) experiments and PEM fuel cells.
