Authors: Pop Horațiu , Grama Alin 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
The paper analyses the way of design of photovoltaic systems. The objective of this paper is to study the production capacity of electrical energy and the way it is influenced by real time conditions. In order to realize some energetic models that could be implemented on a large scale and used as a model of good practice we used photovoltaic systems of 3 dimensions: 60 PV panels, 100 PV panels and 160 PV panels respectively. The present study considered the climate conditions of the city of Cluj-Napoca for 12 months. It considered the consumption profile (hourly consumption) and the period of the year (summer, winter, etc.) for 3 typical buildings. We used Matlab/Simulink software for simulations. The result is an estimation of the production of electrical energy for renewable sources and the reduction of GreenHouse Gases (GHG). The aim is to reduce both GHG and the energy consumption from conventional sources.
Designing a Low-Code CRUD framework
Authors: Văduva Bogdan , Vălean Honoriu 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Nowadays programmers write source code for inserting, editing and deleting records of a relational table. The majority of commercial relational databases include a specific management tool that offers such possibilities and most database programmers take this ability as granted. When it comes to real life applications, programmers use Object Oriented (OO) paradigm to build user friendly windows/screens/forms for database operations. The current work shows a different approach using a Low-code CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) framework. Views and guidelines of how to design a Low-code CRUD framework will be detailed. “Low-code” motivation is due to the fact that the new framework will provide the ability to use less code in order to build fast and efficient complex applications. It will be up to the reader to envision a specific framework.

Towards a New Global Development Paradigm and Restructuring the Economy Into a Sustainable
Authors: Svitačová Eva Pechočiaková , Moravčíková Danka 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
The current economy transcends the boundaries of sustainability, threatens the quality of life on Earth and, ultimately, of the man himself, which requires its restructuring to a sustainable one. The unsustainability of the development of society, which causes the development of the economy in a global environment, is revealed by theoretical research based on qualitative analysis of texts and documents. Subsequently, the need to change the paradigmatic basis of economic theory is explained and a new model of economy – sustainable economy – is outlined. Using logical methods and comparison of basic axioms, postulates and based on the prediction of further development, the study emphasizes that moving towards a more sustainable future presupposes the replacement of neoclassical paradigm by a new paradigm – the paradigm of sustainable development. Restructuring the economy into a sustainable one will be based on this paradigm, as confirmed by some of the outlined new economic theories and initiatives.
Biomarkers of Systemic Versus Local Inflammation During the Acute Phase of Myocardial Infarction, as Predictors of Post-infarction Heart Failure
Authors: Matyas Botond , Polexa Stefania , Benedek Imre , Buicu Andreea , Benedek Theodora 
Published: October 2021

Abstract

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between serum biomarkers of left ventricular dysfunction and systemic inflammation in the first days after the acute episode, and to investigate their role for early identification of patients at high risk for post-infarction heart failure.

Materials and methods: In total, 123 subjects admitted to the Intensive Cardiovascular Care Unit of the Cardiology Clinic of the Târgu Mureș County Clinical Emergency Hospital, Romania, with acute myocardial infarction were retrospectively analyzed in this study. Based on the level of NT-proBNP, the study population was divided into 2 groups: Group 1 (n = 92), with NT-proBNP <3,000 pg/mL, and Group 2 (n = 31), with NT-proBNP >3,000 pg/mL.

Results: Biomarkers reflecting systemic inflammation presented significantly higher values in patients with elevated NT-proBNP (hs-CRP – 12.3 ± 8.9 mg/L vs. 3.6 ± 6.7 mg/L, p <0.0001, and interleukin 6 – 27.6 ± 30.7 pg/mL vs. 8.6 ± 6.2 pg/mL, p <0.0001). However, cell adhesion molecules VCAM and ICAM were not significantly different between the groups. Patients in Group 2 presented significantly higher rates of major cardiovascular events and rehospitalizations in the first year after the acute coronary event, with 13.33% event rate for patients in Group 2 compared to 8.7% in Group 1 (p <0.05).

Conclusions: Serum biomarkers of ventricular dysfunction are strongly associated with systemic inflammation and ventricular impairment in the immediate phase after an acute myocardial infarction. Systemic inflammation has a higher impact on the clinical outcomes and progression to heart failure than the local coronary inflammation expressed by cell adhesion molecules.
Telemedicine in haemophilia during COVID-19 and beyond: a comprehensive review
Authors: Li Casey L , Chan Anthony KC , Matino Davide , Bhatt Mihir D , Decker Kay , Strike Karen 
Published: October 2021

Abstract

Introduction
Patients with haemophilia require regular assessments and physical examinations. The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the rapid adoption of telemedicine to enable virtual consultations and reduce hospital visits. However, the process of virtual consultations is new to many haemophilia clinics. A better understanding of best practices in telemedicine is important to ensure optimal quality of care for patients with haemophilia.

Objectives
To summarise the current literature on the use of direct-to-consumer telemedicine for patients with haemophilia and to describe the effectiveness and potential limitations of the technology and methods used.

Methods
A comprehensive search was conducted in MEDLINE and EMBASE databases using terms referring to the concepts “haemophilia” AND “telemedicine” and their synonyms. There were no time or language restrictions. Title, abstracts, and full texts were screened. Included articles involved telemedicine interventions to facilitate clinical services directly between patients and providers without the use of third-party personnel. The primary outcome was the satisfaction of providers and patients. Secondary outcomes included economic considerations and clinical outcomes. Information was extracted based on study-specific, patient-specific, intervention-specific, and outcome-specific data.

Results
Of the 925 articles screened, six were identified and summarised. Three described telemedicine within the context of COVID-19. Technologies used included telephone calls, videoconferencing, text messaging, and email. All studies involved a multidisciplinary team. Telemedicine in haemophilia care was found to positively impact the patient experience. Providers were satisfied with telemedicine. It was also suggested to be economically beneficial and positively impacted patient outcomes. However, none of the articles reported on how telemedicine was specifically used to perform assessments during the virtual consultation process.

Conclusions
There is preliminary evidence that telemedicine may be beneficial in haemophilia care. Overall, patients and providers reported high satisfaction with the usage of direct-to-consumer telemedicine. This positive reception warrants improvements in standardisation of reporting and quality of study design to better assess its clinical and economic impact. Developing a standard guideline for virtual consultations would support healthcare practitioners in how to best incorporate telemedicine to improve quality of care.
Bone mineral density in Canadian children with severe haemophilia A or B: a cross-sectional study
Authors: Bos Cecily , Tieu Paul , Wu John K , Strike Karen , Chan Anthony KC 
Published: October 2021

Abstract

Background
Previous research has shown that bone mineral density (BMD), a measure of bone strength, may be lower among people with haemophilia. However, the majority of this research has been done in adults and in countries where the treatment for haemophilia differs from the standard of care in Canada, and there is a lack of paediatric data.

Aims
The primary objective of this study was to determine whether Canadian children and youth with severe haemophilia A and B have BMD similar to healthy controls matched for height, age and weight (HAW-score). Secondary objectives included the exploration of any association between BMD and the following variables: factor replacement regimen, Hemophilia Joint Health Score (HJHS), bleeding history, physical activity level, and dietary intake of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K and protein.

Methods
A cross-sectional observational study was designed to determine the BMD of children with severe haemophilia A and B in Canada. Ethical approvals were obtained from participating institutions. Thirty-eight participants aged 3–18 with severe haemophilia A and B were recruited from two treatment centres in Canada. Subjects underwent dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan, and data was collected from regular clinic visit to identify factor replacement regimen, HJHS, and number of joint bleeds over the lifespan. Physical activity level and dietary intake of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K and protein were identified using self-report questionnaires.

Results
Participants showed a mean spine BMD Z-score and HAW-score higher than controls, with no participants showing a spine Z-score or HAW-score of <0. Hip BMD score was within normal range, and 2 participants had a Z-score and HAW-score of <−2. Total body BMD score was lower than controls, with 6 participants having a Z-score of <−2.0, and 3 participants having a HAW-score of <−2.0. Factor replacement regimen, HJHS, calcium intake, and physical activity level had no relationship to BMD Z-score or HAW-score. Low intake of vitamin D was associated with a low hip and spine BMD Z-score and HAW-score. Participants with a HJHS joint score greater than 0 had a higher total body HAW-score than those who had a joint score of 0.

Conclusion
Canadian children with severe haemophilia A and B demonstrate differences in spine and total body BMD from height-, age-, and weight-matched controls, where spine BMD is higher than controls and total body BMD is lower than controls. Studies with a larger sample size are needed to clarify the status of BMD in children with haemophilia treated with primary prophylaxis.
Haemophilia specialist nurses’ perceptions of haemophilia B
Authors: Chaplin Steve , Birkedal Maj Friberg , Crilly Erica , Fletcher Simon , Garcia Sara , Mulders Greta , Myrin-Westesson Linda , Pollard Debra , Sanigorska Anna , Uitslager Nanda 
Published: October 2021

Abstract

Introduction
Some clinicians believe that haemophilia B is associated with less bleeding than haemophilia A, yet there appears to be little difference in health-related outcomes. Current clinical practice reduces the risk of bleeds, making differences difficult to measure. We surveyed specialist haemophilia nurses to discern their opinions about the impact of haemophilia B compared to haemophilia A.

Methods
Between July and September 2020, European and Canadian nurses were invited to complete an online survey (25 questions) about perceptions of management and treatment of haemophilia B.

Results
Fifty-nine nurses (46 European, 13 Canadian) completed the survey. Bleeding was reported as different in haemophilia B by 37% of respondents, and treatment as different by over half. Opinions and experience around using extended half-life (EHL) products varied. Self-reported confidence in using EHL products was rated at a mean of 7.1 (range 3–10) with 47% believing these would remain the optimal treatment in 2025.

Conclusion
Some nurses believe haemophilia A and B are managed differently. Variations in experience and levels of confidence in the use of EHL products, combined with a belief that these products will remain an optimal treatment for haemophilia B for the next five years, indicates a need for education to promote confidence and competence.
Correlation between Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Arthroscopic Findings in Knee Lesions
Authors: Russu Octav , Feier Andrei , Ciorcila Emilian , Miler Georgiana , Trambitas Cristian , Borodi Paul-Gabriel 
Published: October 2021

Abstract

Background: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive diagnostic method with no known side effects and a high sensitivity for detecting meniscal lesions as well as lesions of the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments. For a correct and complete diagnosis, MRI results must be interpreted in the context of clinical examination and anamnesis. MRI results can support the surgical indication for arthroscopy, which is a minimally invasive intervention that facilitates the visualization, investigation, diagnosis, and treatment of intra-articular lesions of the knee. The purpose of this study was to assess the correlation between MRI results and the intra-articular lesions detected arthroscopically.

Material and methods: This retrospective study evaluated a total of 60 patients admitted and treated between January 1, 2013 and January 1, 2014 in the Clinic of Orthopedics and Traumatology of Mureș County Hospital, Târgu Mureș, Romania.

Results: In the 43 patients with lesion of the anterior cruciate ligament, the lesions were seen on MRI in 40 patients (93%) and confirmed arthroscopically in 37 patients (86%). In 34 cases (79.1% of the total of 43), the MRI and arthroscopic results were similar, the Kappa coefficient showing a high degree of correlation (0.90).

Conclusion: By assessing the Kappa coefficient to highlight the correlation between MRI results and arthroscopic diagnosis for knee injuries, a statistically relevant correlation between the two methods was found. This suggests that a correct diagnosis can be achieved by both methods.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory condition which encompasses Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. IBD does not only affect the gastrointestinal system, but also associates many extraintestinal complications that can affect almost any organ. A large number of patients may have these complications before or after the diagnosis of IBD. Early diagnosis and management of these complications involves a multidisciplinary team and contributes to decrease patient morbidity and mortality, but also to increase the quality of life. The purpose of this extensive literature review is to present systematically and comprehensively the latest data on the extraintestinal manifestations of IBD, and to draw clinicians’ attention to the fact that this condition can have extradigestive manifestations that can be misleading and delay the diagnosis.
Explain the law: When the evidence is not enough
Authors: Benešová Martina , Faltýnek Dan , Zámečník Lukáš Hadwiger 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
The article responds to the current variability of research into linguistic laws and the explanation of these laws. We show basic features to approach linguistic laws in the field of quantitative linguistics and research on linguistic laws outside the field of language and text. Language laws are usually explained in terms of the language system—especially as economizing—or of the information structure of the text (Piantadosi 2014). One of the hallmarks of the transmission of linguistic laws outside the realm of language and text is that they provide other kinds of explanations (Torre et al. 2019). We want to show that the problem of linguistics in the explanation of linguistic laws lies primarily in its inability to clarify the internal structure of language material, and the influence of the theory or method used for sample processing on the result of law analysis—which was formulated by Peter Grzybek (2006). We would like to show that this is the reason why linguistics avoids explanations of linguistic laws.
Da possibilidade de Uma Fenomenologia implícita em Kant e Descartes Uma breve perspectiva
Authors: Sidoncha Urbano Mestre 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
In this paper, we will consider the following issue: the innovative dimension of E. Husserl’s phenomenology repeatedly finds in the philosophies of Descartes and Kant a clear obstacle for its full comprehension. After all, is it not the case that the former discipline is just an extension of the perspectives stated by those earlier philosophers? But, to state the idea of a hidden phenomenology in the philosophies of Descartes and Kant has not, as its unavoidable counterpart, the dependence and the full commitment of Husserl ‘s phenomenology with positive doctrines as the one sponsored by Descartes and Kant? And, if so, how can we rescue the idea of phenomenology as prima philosophia?
Possibilidades de sentido Jan Patočka e o cuidado da alma
Authors: Rodrigues Inês Pereira 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
This paper tries to explore the phenomenon of meaning through an investigation of Jan Patočka’s asubjective phenomenology. Meaning, according to this author, is problematic: it lies neither at rest in the things themselves, nor is it merely subjective – a more or less arbitrary human imposition. Instead, meaning, like all phenomena, belongs to the “phenomenological field”, also encompassing those experiences typically called “subjective”. In this sense, meaning is relational, that is, it lies in the relation of “ having meaning for a subject”. Accordingly, it is dependent on a kind “openness” to meaning. “Care of the soul”, a term patočka takes over from the Ancient Greeks, is precisely a reflexive exercise upon this openness, this attunement to, ultimately, the very problematicity of meaning. This dynamic also seems to imply that meaning could be open to, not only unveiling, but to its (co-)creation.
A Experiência do Tempo nos Zollikoner Seminare de Heidegger
Authors: Borges-Duarte Irene 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
This paper seeks to understand Heidegger’s phenomenological analysis of the time experience in Sein und Zeit, from the formal point of view of the Care-structure, and in the Seminars of Zollikon, where time is described as world-time in its fullness. Aimed is to show that the early anthropological reception of his major work of 1927 by some of his pupils, like Löwith, who detected similarities with Psychoanalysis, is somehow strengthed by Heidegger himself later on, as he comes with Medard Boss to develop Daseynsanalysis as a metaonlogical understanding of humans life in health and pathology. Illness as privation of health will be seen as the failure of inauthentic existence. And the full, ecstatical experience of time will be shown as the proper or authentic one, being-in-the-world as well as within the psychoanalytical session and interpretation.
Les Parallèles Convergentes Objets et valeurs dans l’éthique phénoménologique d’Edmund Husserl
Authors: Mariani Emanuele 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
In the most recent debate of phenomenological as well as analytical provenance, Husserl’s reflection, although pioneer regarding ethics, seems to suffer of a general depreciation enrooted in his supposed excess rationalism.
The husserlian ethics would remain subjected to the dominance of a logico-objectifying reason, which appears to be the fundamental dimension of intentionality. The wide range of life-experiences would then be crushed by the hegemony of objectifying acts. Are we really sure? Our contribution will rather consist in raising the originality of Husserl’s method which lastly to reconcile two seemingly contradictory requirements: the autonomy of ethical and its dependence towards logical reason. We shall notice thus a progressive dissociatoon from Brentano’s teaching leading to an overall revision of intentionality. If anything such as rationalism exists in Husserl’s thinking, it can only be asserted on the condition of a radical criticism of the concept of “representation” – from where, as we shall see, emerges a newly articulated relationship between “object” and “value”.
Mundo da vida e Direito Natural. Uma Fundamentação Fenomenológica dos Direitos Humanos?
Authors: de Sousa Ana Paula Loureiro 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
The justification of Natural Law is a very controversial issue, not only after the Positivist’s rebuttals, but since its very anthropological foundations in the early modern age. In this paper, I try do give an account of Natural Law and natural rights in terms of a phenomenological description of the background of normative intentionality. Taking a genetic stance, I go from the positive norm and the intentionality that constitutes it to the underling pregiveness that supplies the condition of its possibility. I exhibit it as the experience of the live-world, and I analyze it as an intersubjective world, where persons are given as equals and worth-counting. This is the very root of the concept of human dignity. Starting from it, I develop an account of the sense and content of the concept of Human Rights as a set of eidetic laws creating the framework for authentic human relationships.
Reinvestigations of the Li2O–Al2O3 system. Part I: LiAlO2 and Li3AlO3
Authors: Tabero Piotr , Frąckowiak Artur , Dąbrowska Grażyna 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
Reinvestigations of the Li2O–Al2O3 system focused on the synthesis and properties of LiAlO2 and Li3AlO3 phases have been performed with the help of XRD and IR measuring techniques and Li2CO3, LiOH·H2O, Al2O3-sl., α-Al2O3, Al(NO3)3·9H2O and boehmite as reactants. Results of investigations have shown the formation of α-, β-, and γ- polymorphs of LiAlO2. It was found that only the use of LiOH·H2O as a reactant yields to β-LiAlO2 as a reaction product. On the other hand, it was proved that Li3AlO3 does not form in the Li2O–Al2O3 system. A new method for the synthesis of α-LiAlO2 was developed, consisting in grinding the mixture of Li2CO3 and Al(NO3)3·9H2O and heating the obtained paste at the temperature range of 400–600 °C. The IR spectroscopy was used to characterize obtained phases.
