The Impact of Law and Ethics in the Improvement of Public Services Provision in the Albanian Republic
Authors: Milova Olta , Llozana Aida
Published: June 2022

Nowadays, countries with stable democracies, as well as consolidated means in the way of providing public services, have paid attention to the Public Administration. In addition to the legal remedy, necessary for the orientation of the ordering and decision-making activity that essentially typifies the Public Administration, it seems that the need to analyze the way public services are provided has been exposed. This apparently old tool, but under this context new, is Ethics. Reviewing literature, we think that, more emphasis is placed on developing countries, where Public Administration is found vulnerable to other phenomena, which damage the image and the most sensitive part: what the law or bylaws impose to Public Administration. This paper aims to bring a picture, at what level the ethical principle in the Albanian Public Administration has been raised and really functions, a principle which must go beyond the administrative activity.

Defining intimate partner violence: a scoping review protocol
Authors:   Universidad de Valencia, Dasí Virginia Dasí , López-González Emelina López , Talavera Marta
Published: June 2022

Review question / Objective: The aim of this scoping review is known what the definition of intimate partner violence is used in the scientific literature. Background: In the scientific literature, intimate partner violence (IPV) has been defined using various terms: aggression, domestic violence, interpersonal violence, intimate partner violence, domestic violence, spousal violence, family violence, etc. (Sprague, 2013; Hamel et al., 2015; O'Hara, 2018, Rahmani et al., 2019). This variety of terminology has hindered a consensus definition, causing a fragmented view of the phenomenon. There are several explanations, one of the main ones being that IPV has been studied by numerous scientific disciplines, each of them associating it with terms specific to its field, focusing on some variables and overshadowing the relevance of others (Nicolás et al. , 2014). Specifically, the term Domestic Violence (DV) and IPV are used interchangeably. However, DV refers to any form of violence perpetrated within a family relationship. It can refer to violence, but also to violence against children or older members of the same family by another family member (Tavoli et al., 2016). It should be noted that the confusion between these terms has been generated since 1993 (Pence & Paymar, 1993) to the present (Bates, 2020).

Published: June 2022

Nanoparticles (NPs) are miniature materials ranging from 1 to 100 nm. The NPs have unique chemical and physical properties due to their shape, size and high surface area. This research paper gives a detailed summary of the synthesis, characterization and applications of undoped and (Ag, Fe) co-doped CuO NPs with a diverse concentration of Fe (0.02, 0.04, 0.06 and 0.08 M) at a constant concentration of Ag (0.02 M). X-ray diffractometer (XRD) results revealed average crystallite size of NPs varies in the range 13.10-24.98 nm. Scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) showed that the morphology of pure synthesized CuO NPs and Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDX) recognized the presence of Ag, Fe elements in the CuO lattice. The particle size obtained by transmission electron microscope (HR-TEM) images was found in the range 19.73-21.47 nm. Cu-O bond stretching of NPs was also confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) techniques. The values of direct and indirect band gap for CuO were found to be 1.41-1.54 eV and 0.69-1.51 eV respectively.  Antibacterial activity for synthesized NPs tested against gram-negative and gram-positive pathogenic bacteria. The photocatalytic properties of synthesized NPs were investigated by monitoring the methyl orange/methylene blue degradation in ultraviolet visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis).

In the present investigation, the affected gold fish was obtained from the fish rearing farms and microorganisms were isolated from the organs such as muscle, gill, liver and intestine. The highest microbial load (6.3 ± 0.4 x 107 cfu g-1) was observed in muscle tissue of the infected C. auratus. The lowest microbial load (4.3 ± 0.7 x 104 cfu g-1) was found in intestine of the fish C. auratus. The percentage distributions of mycotic and bacterial isolates are observed. The biochemical characterization of the pathogenic isolates was performed and the microorganisms were identified up to the generic level. Based on the results of lethal concentration and minimum inhibitory concentration test to the isolates, E.coli was found to be highly antigenic to the fish Catla catla and hence E.coli strain was selected for preparation of antigen. From the E.coli strain five different types of antigens such as heat killed antigen, whole cell antigen, heat killed antigen with antiserum, whole cell antigen with antiserum and nucleotide antigens were prepared and injected in to the experimental fish (Catla catla)groups for the study of immunomodulation. Analysis of immunogenicity of antigens against the fish Catla catla was estimated. The E.coli produced β hemolytic pattern on the blood agar plate. B Lymphocytes counts using rosette forming assay revealed significant decrement in pathogens exposed fishes than in control. In conclusion, the results from the present investigation suggest that it is impendingly achievable to develop a commercial vaccine against the E.coli using immune complexes which will overcome the issues of the heterogenicity of the bacterium. It is also possible to improve the vaccine by adding additional antigens to other diseases to this formulation. The aquaculture desperately needs such a formulation to manage and overcome the distressing disease problem caused by the microorganisms.

Face identification is an essential application in recent times as it has several applications like surveillance, criminal identification, etc. Many face recognition methods are still facing various challenges by researchers in real-time applications because of multiple rotational angles of faces and different expressions. To overcome this issue, we come up with the novel approach of Global Generative Adversarial Networks (G-GAN) to convert various expressions and side images into frontal images and Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to recognize the face in quick time with low cost, high accuracy and with use of less memory. The unique error loss algorithm is introduced in G-GAN during training which preserves identical features of profile images and photo-realistic good resolution front image. The single ground truth frontal image of an individual and G-GAN converted frontal pictures of individuals are considered, and PCA is applied to obtain features. The features are compared using Euclidean Distance (ED) to recognize an individual. The module used publicly available datasets like Indian male and female, ORL, and Multi PIE and achieved good results with a high recognition rate.

Bifacial panels are ideally suited for commercial or utility-scale solar installations, but they can also be employed in some household applications. Bi-facial panels can be used in free-standing structures like the pergola to provide some shade while also generating energy. Bifacial panels can also be used in any other situation where the solar panels are not directly facing the sun. Awnings and canopies made of bifacial solar panels, for example, allow reflected light to reach the panels' backside. Bifacial photovoltaic (PV) is a potentially developed technology that uses absorptivity from the albedo to enhance the amount of power produced per square meter of the PV module. Because both sides of the cell, front and back, can absorb solar radiation, bifacial solar cells may provide a higher energy output than monofacial solar cells. Improved cell efficiency, module reliability, and deployment design of bifacial arrays in a PV plant should continue to be emphasized in bifacial PV efforts to cooptimize front-to-backside energy output for fixed and tracking systems throughout the day. The efficient thermal flow for front, rear, and combination irradiance was determined using these spectra. Single-cell laminates exposed to indoor irradiance had their power output, bifacial gain, and module operating temperature measured. Aluminium foil is a common component of laminates and is widely used in food packaging. It has a higher barrier function against the migration of moisture, oxygen and other gases, volatile fragrance, and light than any plastic laminate material. Recently, plastic-derived products have become a vital commodity for various purposes. It has three reflecting materials for comparison of reflectivity; first the typical surface readings, then the different reflective materials at various irradiance levels. A white paint reflector, plastic film, and aluminium foil sheet components are used. The aluminium foil sheet material has a high power density of 1000W/m2 in Standard Test Conditions. Aluminium foil sheet is a highly reflective material with a maximum voltage of 38 V and a maximum current of 12.3A. This enhances the power of the reflective material 466W. The regular surface increases the power by 1.166%, whereas the aluminium foil layer increases the maximum power by 1.3%.

In the field of benign gynecology, laparoscopic myomectomy has clear advantages, although learning curve is longer. Our study aims to review the factors that improve the technique of laparoscopic myomectomies. For women with symptomatic fibroids who wish to maintain their fertility minimally invasive myomectomy is in most cases the best option. Therefore, laparoscopic approach is associated with shorter hospital stay, faster recovery, less postoperative pain, and reduced adhesion formation. Standardization of laparoscopic techniques could help to reduce the learning curve. The costs are higher compared with open myomectomy, but when we take into account the numerous advantages that laparoscopy has, including shorter operative time, less blood loss, shorter hospital stay and a more rapid recovery time, laparoscopy is more cost-efficient.

The current therapeutic guidelines recommend, in most cases, a combination of surgery and chemotherapy based on platinum agents and taxanes. Despite the increasing usage of newer drug categories, such as bevacizumab and PARP inhibitors, and the expansion of patient groups for these drugs, ovarian cancer is characterized by multiple recurrences, particularly in the form of peritoneal implants. In this article, we perform a short incursion into the programmed cell death pathway in epithelial ovarian cancer and conduct a brief review of literature regarding this novel immunotherapeutic perspective.

Borderline ovarian tumors represent a particular category of ovarian neoplasms characterized by a more favourable outcome, lower risk of recurrence and association of long term survival rates. Although in up to one third of cases lymph node metastases are present, they seem that they do not affect significantly the survival. The aim of the current paper is to identify the most important risk factors for lymph node invasion in serous borderline ovarian tumors and to study their influence on survival.

Breast density is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for the development of breast cancer. It has been shown to be associated with a four-to sixfold increase a woman's risk of malignant breast disease. Increased breast density, as identified on mammography, is known to decrease the diagnostic sensitivity of the examination, which is of great concern to women at increased risk for breast cancer. Dense tissue has generally been associated with younger age and premenopausal status, with the assumption that breast density gradually decreases after menopause. However, the actual proportion of older women with dense breasts is unknown. Unfortunately, mammography is less accurate on dense breast tissue compared to fattier breast tissue. Multiple studies suggest a solution to this by demonstrating the ability of supplemental screening ultrasound to detect additional malignant lesions in women with dense breast tissue but with negative mammography. Improved screening methods for women with dense breasts are needed due to their increased risk of breast cancer and of failed early diagnosis by screening mammography.

This study aims to determine the role of the two dimensions of calling, namely search for calling and presence of calling on the work meaning, and the difference in the level of meaningful work in the four categories of calling, namely calling diffusion, calling foreclosure, calling moratorium and calling achievement on Forestry employees. With purposive sampling, we obtained 130 employees who had worked for at least one year. The questionnaires used were the Calling and Vocation Questionnaire and the Comprehensive Meaningful Work Scale that had high-reliability scores. Using stepwise linear regression technique and ANOVA, we found that only the presence of calling has a significant role in the work meaning, and calling diffusion has the lowest level of work meaning compared to other categories

The purpose of this study is to determine whether profitability has a negative effect and solvency has a positive effect on audit delay with audit tenure as a moderating variable. The population used in this study are companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2016-2018. The research sample was determined by using purposive sampling technique in order to obtain 43 companies. The research method used is causal quantitative. The results showed that profitability had a negative effect on audit delay with a probability value of 0.003 at the 1% significance level and a coefficient value of - 47.550 while solvency had no effect on audit delay with a probability value of 0.371. This study also shows that audit tenure as a moderating variable does not play a role in strengthening the negative effect of profitability on audit delay because it has a probability value of 0.847, but audit tenure plays a role in weakening the positive effect of solvency on audit delay with a probability value of 0.063 at the 10% significance level and a coefficient value of -136.986.

Tujuan dari penelitian ini untuk mengetahui apakah profitabilitas berpengaruh negatif dan solvabilitas berpengaruh positif terhadap audit delay dengan audit tenure sebagai variabel pemoderasi. Populasi yang digunakan pada penelitian ini yaitu perusahaan-perusahaan yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia pada tahun 2016-2018. Sampel penelitian ditentukan dengan menggunakan teknik purposive sampling sehingga diperoleh 43 perusahaan. Adapun metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu kausal kuantitatif.
