Apperception: Understanding and Anticipating the User in Space Based on Neural and Behavioural Responses
Authors: Šimkovič Vladimír , Kulifaj Ivan 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The main task of architecture has been and will be to create spaces for the user. Our experiment is based on an interdisciplinary study, combining knowledge from architecture, neuroscience, psychology and artificial intelligence. We think that these disciplines can better interpret the users’ perception to architects and designers, because how do we know what users want and how they react to the created matter? This fundamental question underlines the research, designates its direction and goals. The futuristic view and exploring the user is one aspect, complemented by the application of research results to today’s reality. Nowadays, in Slovakia (and in the world), urban development is funded by the private sector and is significantly limited by the financial aspect of architecture and development, it is necessary to look for a concept that reduces the importance of finance at the expense of quality for users.
Regarding new wave distributions of the non-linear integro-partial Ito differential and fifth-order integrable equations
Authors: Baskonus Haci Mehmet , Kayan Mustafa 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
This paper applies a powerful scheme, namely Bernoulli sub-equation function method, to some partial differential equations with high non-linearity. Many new travelling wave solutions, such as mixed dark-bright soliton, exponential and complex domain, are reported. Under a suitable choice of the values of parameters, wave behaviours of the results obtained in the paper – in terms of 2D, 3D and contour surfaces – are observed.
A finite element analysis of the impact of split pole shoes on magnetic liquid sealing performance
Authors: Zhiguo Liu , Huitao Zhang , Li Yang 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Though split pole shoe can solve the problems of increased cost and decreased efficiency caused by replacing pole shoes in the test, assembling and use of split sealing devices, it fails to overcome the issue of sealing in the gap between split pole shoe's junction surface and shaft. In this paper, a split magnetic liquid sealing structure is designed, combining magnetic liquid sealing and split pole shoe's plane sealing. In our study, we have adopted three methods for split sealing and use theory and simulation to ascertain the sealing performance of the split magnetic liquid sealing structure designed by us. The results indicate that magnetic sealant bonded split pole shoes show better sealing performance as compared to those bonded by ordinary sealant, and that the structural optimisation results can meet the requirement for sealing performance. The simulation results coincide with theoretical results, which proves the correctness of this research.

Authors: Iancu Gabriela Mariana , Todan Liliana Elena , Rotaru Maria 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Syphilis is a systemic infection caused by Treponema Pallidum spirochete, which is considered to be the main sexually transmitted disease. The genital ulcerations and local inflammation found in syphilis are favouring factors involved in transmitting the HIV infection. Recent data suggests that individuals suffering from other sexually transmitted diseases are 3 to 5 times more exposed to developing HIV infection. On the other hand, simultaneous HIV infection may worsen the syphilis evolution. In the light of this data we present the case of a patient with syphilis-HIV coinfection recently diagnosed and we will summarize the clinical and evolutive features of the syphilis-HIV coinfection.
Risk Factors Regarding Portal Vein Thrombosis in Chronic Liver Disease
Authors: Vecerzan Liliana , Mihăilă Romeo Gabriel 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is one of the most frequent vascular diseases of the liver, with a high rate of morbidity and mortality. The most common causes of the PVT are hepatic cirrhosis, hepatobiliary neoplasms, inflammatory and infectious abdominal diseases, and myeloproliferative syndromes.(1,2) The natural progress of the PVT has as a result portal hypertension which leads to splenomegaly and the formation of portosystemic collateral vessels, as well as gastroesophageal, duodenal and jejunal varices. Ultrasonography, especially Doppler ultrasound, is the most widely used imaging method to asses, supervise and diagnose PVT in patients with hepatopathies. The purpose of acute PVT treatment is to re-permeabilize the obstructed vessels; the endoscopic ligature of the varices in the eventuality of their rupture is safe and extremely efficient in chronic PVT. To conclude, PVT is the most common hepatic vascular disorder, and its prevalence has increased particularly among the patients with chronic hepatopathies.(3)

Authors: Zah Corina Adelina , Toporău Andreea Emiliana , Grama Paul 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by skin dryness, pruritus and eczematous lesions with various periods of relapse. Symptomatology can appear in childhood and can persist in adulthood. Chronic treatment is required with corticosteroids being the standard options. The side effects of this type of long-term treatment represent a major concern for the pediatric patients. This review aims to give an update of the options used for treatment, apart from the systemic corticosteroids. Mild-to-moderate AD had a good response to creams containing fig and oatmeal extracts and inhibitors of phosphodiesterase-4 (crisaborole). In cases of severe AD, future treatment options could include monoclonal antibodies such as omalizumab and dupilumab

Authors: Fahim Nadia H. , Kholif Ahmed E. , Azzaz Hossam H. 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The supplementation with herbal and medicinal plants to animals showed positive effects on feed digestion, performance and animal’s health. Fifteen multiparous Egyptian buffaloes (537 ± 18.1 kg body weight), 7 days after parturition, were randomly assigned to 3 treatments in a quintupled 3 × 3 Latin square design in a 63-day experiment. Each experimental period lasted 21 days (15 days of adaptation + 7 days for measurements and samples collection). Buffaloes were assigned according to their previous milk production, weight and parity to study the effect of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) or ginger (Zingiber officinale) supplementation on feed utilization and lactational performance. Buffaloes were fed a basal diet of concentrates, berseem clover and rice straw in a ratio of 60:30:10 dry matter (DM) basis. The first group was fed the basal diet with no additive as the control treatment, while other buffaloes were fed on the basal diet supplemented with 75 g fennel or ginger/buffalo daily. Additives supplementation did not affect feed intake; however, fennel followed by ginger improved (P<0.05) dry matter, organic matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber digestibilities compared to the control. Without affecting blood chemistry, fennel and ginger supplementation improved (P<0.05) production of milk and energy corrected milk, fat concentration and milk energy content and output. Fennel followed by ginger decreased the somatic cell count (P=0.035) compared with the control. Fennel and ginger improved feed efficiency (P<0.05) compared with the control. Fennel increased the proportion of milk trans-10, cis-12 C18:2 (P=0.028), total conjugated linoleic acid without affecting other fatty acids. It is concluded that fennel or ginger at 75 g/buffalo/d improved nutrient digestibility and milk production of lactating buffaloes. Fennel improved milk nutritive value more than ginger.

Authors: Dey Sangeeta , Choudhury Manabendra Dutta , Das Suchismita 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Effluents from a pulp and paper mill in India were analyzed for various physicochemical parameters and heavy metals. Multivariate statistical analysis was used to interpret the data obtained and predict the toxicity of each component to Cyprinus carpio L. fingerlings. The results showed that most of these parameters exceeded recommended levels set by various agencies, and the effluent was not suitable for discharge into agricultural fields or water bodies without further treatment. The results of static renewal toxicity tests revealed median lethal concentrations at 24, 48, 72, and 96 h to be 42, 25, 18.6 and 14.5%, respectively, and the fingerlings exhibited severe behavioral anomalies. The sublethal dose of 2.9% (v/v) caused alterations in the gill and liver at durations of 7, 14, 21, and 28 d. Anomalies such as mucous secretion, leucocyte infiltration, curling of the secondary lamellae tip, clubbing, and the fusion of the secondary lamellae, aneurism, etc. were prominent. The liver showed inflammatory infiltration, cytoplasmic inclusion bodies, vacuolar degeneration, fatty degeneration, pyknosis, karyolysis, distorted pancreatic area, and piecemeal necrosis, among other pathological symptoms. The study concluded that the effluent, even in greatly diluted form, was highly toxic and the severity of responses depended on the length of exposure.
Application of an association of yeast and lactic acid bacteria to bioencapsulate carotenoids in Daphnia magna (Straus, 1820)
Authors: Vasina Liliia , Kraievska Ivanna , Khudyi Oleksii , Khuda Lidiia , Cheban Larysa 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
Freshwater zooplankton, which is commonly used as a starting fish feed, has a low content of essential compounds such as carotenoids. The possibility of increasing the productivity of carotenogenic yeast, Rhodotorula glutinis, for further bioencapsulation of zooplankton Daphnia magna is shown. An association of a UV irradiated yeast strain with lactic acid bacteria was cultivated for this purpose. This permitted intensifying the carotenogenesis of yeast, and the content of â-carotene increased by 1.7 times, and that of torularodine by 2.3 times compared with the native monoculture. The use of the association of microorganisms as a feed substrate in the cultivation of Daphnia magna provided both an increase in the carotenoid content in the investigated crustaceans more than 8 times, and their biomass by 2.5 times compared with the standard feed of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Published: April 2021

Abstract

Renibacterium salmoninarum causes bacterial kidney disease mainly in salmonid fish. Oligonucleotide primers incorporating R. salmoninarum unique sequences were designed to amplify a 501 bp region of the gene encoding a 57 kDa soluble extra-cellular protein. The primers did not amplify other wide varieties of aquatic or piscine bacteria Aeromonas salmonicida or Yersinia ruckeri. This assay provides a molecular description and definitive identification of R. salmoninarum in Poland.
How Do You Want Me to Address You? – The Macedonian Name Dispute Resolved
Authors: Manzinger Krisztián 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The Macedonian name dispute, a political debate between Greece and the current Republic of North Macedonia, arose after the break-up of the multi-ethnic Yugoslavia. The issue was overpoliticized for the societies of both countries. The international community followed the dispute, yet it did not exercise any pressure on Greece to cede in a debate seen by many as the stronger bullying the weaker. A breakthrough became achievable when political forces interested in the resolution came into power in both countries in the mid-2010s. The Prespa Agreement, signed in 2018, offered a mutually acceptable resolution and opened the way for North Macedonia to enter the NATO and to the opening of accession talks with the EU in March 2020.

‘Land of Creation’: The Position, Brand Owners, and Contributors for Israel's Branding
Authors: Papp-Váry Árpád Ferenc , Szolnoki Szabolcs 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The modern and independent State of Israel celebrated the seventieth anniversary of its proclamation of independence in 2018. Besides this landmark anniversary, the remarkable development of Israel's image in the past decade was also a cause for celebration. Nowadays, many people around the world consider Israel as a start-up nation, the stronghold of innovation and risk capital, and the home of outstanding researchers and research organizations – or at least people have this association. In recent years, the ‘industry of peace’, tourism has also undergone significant expansion in the country. This has not always been the case in the past – the change is the result of conscious efforts, which is primarily attributed to the real successes of the economic structure and secondarily to controlled positioning and country branding activity. How could this positive country brand of a ‘start-up nation’ and the ‘land of creation and creativity’ be created? How can it be that many people consider Israel as a country with vibrant, colourful, rich metropolises, the cradle of innovative enterprises, millions of USD in capital investment and world-changing patents instead of a powder keg and the Arab–Israeli conflict?
The methodology to analyse the topic is based on an examination of relevant literature and in-depth interviews conducted by the authors in Israel, involving a synthesis of interviews with the important figures of the innovation ecosystem and organizations involved in country branding. The present article aims to describe the branding ecosystem of Israel, introduce its main actors and activities in order to pave the way for future in-depth research.

Published: April 2021

AbstractWoven fabric in Indonesia is generally known as a material for making clothes and it has been applied as an interior finishing material in buildings, such as sound absorbent material. This study presents a new method for predicting the sound absorption of woven fabrics using a modification of the wave equations and using genetic algorithms. The main aim of this research is to study the sound absorption properties of woven fabric by modeling using a modification of the sound wave equations and using genetic algorithms. A new model for predicting the sound absorption coefficient of woven fabric (plain, twill 2/1, rips and satin fabric) as a function of porosity, the weight of the fabric, the thickness of the fabric, and frequency of the sound wave, was determined in this paper. In this research, the sound absorption coefficient equation was obtained using the modification of the sound wave equation as well as using genetic algorithms. This new model included the influence of the sound absorption coefficient phenomenon caused by porosity, the weight of the fabric, the thickness of fabric as well as the frequency of the sound wave. In this study, experimental data showed a good agreement with the model
Preliminary Experimental Investigation of Cut-Resistant Materials: A Biomimetic Perspective
Authors: Kropidłowska Paulina , Irzmańska Emilia , Sawicki Jacek 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
The objective of the work was the preliminary experimental investigation of cut-resistant materials including a biomimetic perspective. The effects of the cutting were expressed as static and dynamic cut resistance of the following materials: knitted fabrics, woven fabrics, continuously coated knitted fabrics, and dot-coated knitted fabrics. The cutting process gives rise to frictional forces, but the current test methods for cut-resistant gloves are not designed to measure them. Therefore additionally, the cut resistance of the material was evaluated using a modified procedure based on the standard EN 1082-1, taking into consideration grip strength tests to assess if there is a potential correlation between cut resistance and anti-slip properties.

Abstract
The second part in the 1284 Book of Games of Alfonso X. contains the description of twelve medieval games of dice. Certain information on the amount and timing of bets of the players are only very briefly displayed and are completely missing in several games. The exact course of such games is therefore unknown. What did the players know about their chances of rolling dice and how they could use them when playing the dice? In order to imagine the process of betting for gain, the characteristics of these games of dice are examined and compared with contemporary games of chance.
The water clarity of Polish lakes with charophyte vegetation in the years 1953-1968
Authors: Hutorowicz Andrzej 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
A total of 313 lakes with charophyte vegetation were identified based on the data presented in 1111 manuscripts under the shared title of “Assumptions for the fisheries management project in Lake (lake name)”, based on the results of an environmental inventory carried out by the Inland Fisheries Institute in 1953-1968. The lakes’ morphological characteristics were described, hydrophyte species that most frequently accompanied charophytes were identified, differences in summer water transparency were analyzed in 281 lakes with charophyte vegetation and the results were compared with the observations made in 657 other lakes, and the potential trophic state of lakes with charophyte vegetation was determined using Carlson’s trophic state index (1996). More than half (54%) of 171 dimictic lakes with charophyte vegetation were classified as mesotrophic and 31% as oligotrophic, whereas 50% of 110 polymictic lakes were classified as eutrophic, and 40% as mesotrophic. The frequency of taxa that contribute to the eutrophication (degradation) of water bodies, including Ceratophyllum spp. Myriophyllum spp. and Elodea canadensis, increased with a decrease in the percentage of charophytes in communities of submerged hydrophytes. Regardless of the proportion of charophytes in submerged hydrophyte communities, water in the lakes colonized by charophytes was more transparent than in the 659 lakes without charophytes. Water in many polymictic and dimictic lakes with charophyte vegetation, including lakes with a small contribution of charophytes, was more transparent than in lakes without charophytes, which suggests that charophytes are sensitive indicators of water quality and are components of ecological memory in aquatic ecosystems.

The Transit of EU Construction Branch from Craft to Industrial Production Process Using BIM: The Case of Construction Public Works in Greece According to the Orders of EU Directives 2014/24/EU & 2014/25/EU
Authors: Metallinos Pavlos 
Published: April 2021

Abstract
For years, the European Commission has focused on the production process of the construction industry, because this branch is included in the critical conditions for the European capitalism development. As such, it has focused on implementing modernization policies and increasing the productive capacity of construction companies and optimising the technical outcome for the benefit of its funds and the European society. For this reason, its benchmark has been focused on saving through the BIM practice of the unnecessary expenditure paid by funds that finance the construction of public works to meet more social needs. The author researches the transaction of the EU construction branch from craft to industrial production process using BIM. The subject of the research is approached methodologically through the examination of studies in the field of the construction branch. Announcements and Directives issued by the EU have been taken into account in comparison with national law and practices applied and used by individual Member States, especially by Hellenic public authorities, in order to identify why the EU insists on the use of digital building (3D), schedule management (4D) and cost management (5D) applying the productive process of construction public works. However, it is proven that the necessary incentive to increase BIM application usability does not seem to be perceived, since BIM applicability is not widespread compared to the executed construction volume.
