The question of effectiveness of Judicial Council’s decisions becomes topical in period of voiced disagreements among state powers. European type of Judicial Councils is designed to give strong representation to judiciary’s voice, however for any state power to be fully effective they need to conduct a dialogue and cooperate among themselves. The article looks at several recent examples of overlapping competencies, paying particular attention to the newly and controversially established Economic Affairs Court. The status of Judicial Council’s decisions in Latvian legal system is addressed, as well.

The aim of this research is to clarify the problems pertaining to protection of interests of a subject of intellectual property rights as the victim in criminal proceedings. In criminal proceedings regarding infringement of intellectual property, the victim takes the central role in proving constituent elements of a criminal offence, i.e., harmful effect of an infringement. Hence, the victim is the only participant of criminal proceedings who can submit relevant evidence. However, there are several issues regarding protection of interests of a subject of intellectual property rights in criminal proceedings. The author provides his opinion on possible solutions of these issues, as well as indicates a probable need to make amendments to the regulation of intellectual property.

The classification of real actions has two purposes: 1) to describe the diversity of real actions; 2) to determine the legal norms applicable in a specific situation. The paper examines what types of real action classifications can be used to achieve these goals. To characterize the diversity of real actions, it can be divided into the following types: 1) action and inaction; 2) favorable and unfavorable real action; 3) lawful and unlawful real action, etc. In order to determine the legal norms applicable in a specific situation, it is important to divide real actions into the following types: 1) planned and unplanned real action; 2) intentional and unintentional real action; 3) one-off and long-term real action, etc.

The article provides an analysis of the term “prostitution” and its explanation as sexual service or sexual activity, and the legal regulation thereof. In author’s opin­ion, this term in criminal law is not sufficiently explicit and does not include clear criteria of prostitution in cases, when a person is accused of pimping, prostitution and other prostitution-related offences. The ambiguity of the terms makes it difficult to define these offences and to distinguish prostitution from erotic measures. Developments of this problem are considered in the article.

The article deals with one of the means to ensure the effectiveness of criminal proceedings – the supervision and control of the activities of the investigator and the prosecutor. It deals with the legal framework in Latvia and the problems identified in practice. It is recognised that the existing legal framework is considered to be incomplete. Proposals have been made for the necessary amendments to the legal norms of criminal proceedings in Latvia. The focus is on eliminating the dualism of the oversight of the inverstigator’s and the prosecutor’s activities and on introducing a clear collaboration model between investigator and prosecutor.

SUMMARY

Objectives:
To analyze the effect of the porosity caused by incremental and bulk resin composite filling techniques using low- and high-viscosity composite resins on the biomechanical performance of root-treated molars.

Methods:
Forty intact molars received standardized mesio-occlusal-distal (MOD) cavity preparation, were root treated, and randomly divided into four groups with different filling techniques (n=10). The first involved two incremental filling techniques using VIT/Z350XT, a nanofilled composite resin (Filtek Z350XT, 3M ESPE) associated with a resin-modified glass ionomer cement, and resin-modified glass ionomer cement (RMGIC; Vitremer, 3M ESPE) for filling the pulp chamber. The second involved TPH/VIT, a microhybrid composite resin TPH3 Spectrum associated with Vitremer. The third and fourth involved two bulk-fill composite resins: SDR/TPH, a low-viscosity resin composite (Surefill SDR flow, Dentsply) associated with TPH3 Spectrum, and POST, a high-viscosity bulk-fill resin composite (Filtek Bulk Fill Posterior, 3M ESPE). The volume of the porosity inside the restoration was calculated by micro-CT. The cusp deformation caused by polymerization shrinkage was calculated using the strain-gauge and micro-CT methods. The cusp deformation was also calculated during 100 N occlusal loading and loading to fracture. The fracture resistance and fracture mode were recorded. Data were analyzed by one-way analysis of variance and Tukey test. The fracture mode was analyzed by the χ2 test. The volume of the porosity was correlated with the cusp deformation, fracture resistance, and fracture mode (a=0.05).

Results:
Incremental filling techniques associated with RMGIC resulted in a significantly higher porosity than that of both bulk-fill techniques. However, no significant difference was found among the groups for the fracture resistance, fracture mode, and cusp deformation, regardless of the measurement time and method used. No correlation was observed between the volume of the porosity and all tested parameters.

Conclusions:
The porosity of the restorations had no influence on the cuspal deformation, fracture resistance, or fracture mode. The use of the RMGIC for filling the pulp chamber associated with incremental composite resins resulted in similar biomechanical performance to that of the flowable or regular paste bulk-fill composite resin restorations of root-treated molars.

SUMMARY

Objective:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of five different polishing systems on a computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) polymer-infiltrated ceramic-network restoration with nanoscale assessment using atomic force microscopy (AFM) and visual assessment performed by dental school senior students and faculty members.

Method:
Forty-eight full coverage crowns were milled out of polymer-infiltrated ceramic-network CAD/CAM blocks (Vita Enamic) for polishing with one company proprietary, two ceramic and two composite polishing systems. The prepared crowns were divided into six groups: (1) no polishing (control); (2) polishing with Vita Enamic Polishing Kit (VEna); (3) polishing with Shofu Porcelain Laminate Polishing Kit (SCer); (4) polishing with Brasseler Dialite Feather lite All-Ceramic Adjusting & Polishing System (BCer); (5) polishing with Shofu Composite Polishing Kit (SCom); and (6) polishing with Brasseler Composite Polishing Kit (BCom). The polished crown surface topography was observed, and surface roughness and area were measured with AFM. In addition, polished crowns were visually assessed by 15 senior dental students and 15 dental school faculty members.

Results:
All polishing treatments significantly reduced the surface roughness and area of the crown compared with the control. SCom and BCom showed significantly higher surface area than VEna, and the SCer and BCer groups were intermediate, showing no significant difference from either VEna or SCom and BCom. There were no significant differences in surface roughness between any of the systems. Dental students and faculty members classified the groups polished with VEna, SCer, and BCer groups as clinically acceptable, and they selected BCer group as the best polished restorations and the control group as the least polished restorations.

Conclusions:
Ceramic and composite polishing systems produced similar polishing results as that observed using a company proprietary polishing system. However, effectiveness for polishing using a company proprietary and ceramic polishing system tends to be higher than composite polishing systems.

The issue of impulse development of cities caused by different infrastructural factors is considered. It has been determined that rapid development of urban planning structure which occurred over a short period of time can be viewed as an effective urban planning impulse, with the exception of the following conditions, when they: a) did not lead to sustainable results, b) did not solve the basic problems of life support; c) originated from the modernist legacy of total urban planning, which considered the possibility of creating a large urban structure from scratch, based on a one-time master plan). According to the history of their development, urban structures fall into two major categories: evolutionary and impulse-based. Evolutionary category includes the cities which have developed gradually, without any significant spurts from the original core, through the long-term accumulation of complications. While the cities, which fall into the impulse-based category are characterized by a stage of sharp acceleration of development or a kind of a growth spurt, followed by either stabilization or a relative slowdown. Given the task set in this study, this category of the cities was selected as the object of further consideration. Based on the analysis of the source base, four basic factors of historical urban planning have been outlined, which can be considered as impulse factors in the form of clearly expressed changes - infrastructural, demographic, economic, myth-making. Taking Tenochtitlan, Stockholm and Alexandria as the example, the content and functional structure of infrastructural impulse changes have been outlined. By these we mean rethinking of life support systems, which leads to sharp population growth and employment diversification. To become a ‘growth spurt’ factor, such changes must contain a number of special qualities: convenience, accessibility and uniqueness. Convenience is the difference in the use of infrastructural benefits between the locality in which the impulse change takes place and other similar cities. Accessibility means the ability to use (access) the infrastructural benefits by as many residents as possible. While uniqueness stands for a feature or set of infrastructure features that are notably absent in the cities of the competing area.

Published: June 2021

As of the year 2020, Indonesia has the fourth most populous country in the world. With Indonesia’s population expected to continuously grow, the increase in provision of healthcare needs to match its steady population growth. Hospitals are central in providing healthcare to the general masses, especially for patients requiring medical attention for an extended period of time. Length of Stay (LOS), or inpatient treatment, covers various treatments that are offered by hospitals, such as medical examination, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation. Generally, hospitals determine the LOS by calculating the difference between the number of admissions and the number of discharges. However, this procedure is shown to be unproductive for some hospitals. A cost-effective way to improve the productivity of hospital is to utilize Information Technology (IT). In this paper, we create a system for predicting LOS using Neural Network (NN) using a sample of 3055 subjects, consisting of 30 input attributes and 1 output attribute. The NN default parameter experiment and parameter optimization with grid search as well as random search were carried out. Our results show that parameter optimization using the grid search technique give the highest performance results with an accuracy of 94.7403% on parameters with a value of Epoch 50, hidden unit 52, batch size 4000, Adam optimizer, and linear activation. Our designated system can be utilised by hospitals in improving their effectiveness and efficiency, owing to better prediction of LOS and better visualization of LOS done by web visualization.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the gender differences in anatomical and morphometric characteristics of the nasopalatine canal-NPC and horizontal dimensions of the anterior maxilla by CBCT, which could be of interest for clinicians who perform implant surgery in this region. A retrospective quantitative study was conducted using CBCT images from the radiological database of the Department of Dentistry (Kragujevac) on a total of 113 participants (63 male and 50 female). The results of our study confirmed no gender difference in the distribution of NPC type, while the most frequent NPC type confirmed gender variations (cylindrical in females, funnel in males), but the lowest incidence of NPC type in both males and females was banana-type. The NPC length was significantly increased in males with no significant gender impact on medio-lateral (M-L) and antero-posterior (A-P) dimensions of the incisive foramen, as well as the A-P dimension of the nasal foramen. Linear regression analysis revealed the significant correlation between the M-L dimension of incisive foramen and the anterior maxilla diameter at all bone levels for males, and between the NPC length and the anterior maxilla diameter only in females at the level D. Also, both NPC type and gender significantly affected the correlations between the estimated parameters (females showed significant correlation only in funnel NPC type at the level D, while males showed significant correlation in both funnel NPC type at the level A, but also in hourglass-type at the level D). Those results imply significant gender impact in planning of various surgical interventions in the anterior maxilla region.

Published: June 2021

Abstract
The interactions of metal complexes with important biomolecules such as deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) are responsible for their antitumor activity due to different modes of interaction with DNA and their transport through the blood system to cells and tissues via serum albumin. Therefore, the dinuclear palladium(II) complexes, [{Pd(en)Cl}2(μ-1,5-nphe)](NO3)2 (Pd1) and [{Pd(1,3-pd)Cl}2(μ-1,5-nphe)](NO3)2 (Pd2) (en is ethylenediamine, 1,3-pd is 1,3-propylenediamine and 1,5-nphe is the bridging 1,5-naphthyridine ligand) were synthesized and characterized by different spectroscopic methods. The UV-Vis and fluorescence emission spectroscopy were applied for evaluation of binding modes of Pd1 and Pd2 complexes to DNA as well as their interaction with BSA. The emission spectra indicate that the investigated Pd1 and Pd2 complexes can displace the ethidium bromide intercalator from DNA/EtBr molecules and act as intercalators showing strong interactions with DNA. The fluorescence intensity showes that Pd1 and Pd2 complexes can bind to BSA and then be transported to the cell.
