Authors: Bara Noemi Anna , Nadasan Iris , Nadasan Valentin , Deleanu Diana 
Published: July 2024

Abstract

Background: Acute treatment must be permanently accessible for every patient diagnosed with hereditary angioedema (HAE). In many cases this type of therapy does not provide/offer sufficient control of the disease, so long-term prophylaxis (LTP) is recommended. In the case of regular and prolonged/extended administration of drugs, the route of administration is essential. The aim of the investigation was to assess the control of HAE among patients in Romania receiving the available medications, while also examining potential correlations within the outcomes.

Material and methods: A phone call was made to all adult patients registered in the Romanian HAE Registry. Patients with confirmed diagnosis of HAE who had at least one angioedema attack in the last three months were asked to complete, online, the angioedema control test (AECT) for one- and three months respectively. AECT scores were calculated according to the authors’ instructions.

Results: A total of 121 patients were contacted. Of these, 83 complies with the eligibility criteria and 56 completed the questionnaires (response rate 67.4%), 18 (32.1%) men and 38 (67.9%) women. Acute, home administered treatment with Icatibant or pdC1-INH was available for every patient during the study time. Nine (14.5%) participants used LTP too, with pdC1-INH. These treatments ensured an adequate control of the disease in only 13 patients (21%) in case of the three-month AECT, of whom 2 used LTP. The one-month questionnaire showed a well-controlled disease in 14 patients (23%), from which only 1 was on prophylactic therapy.

Conclusion: In most Romanian HAE patients, the available drugs do not offer a proper control of the disease. Even though a first-line drug for LTP is available, its administration route by intravenous injections makes it inconvenient for many patients, highlighting the necessity for new, easy-to administer drugs for HAE patients from our country.

Abstract
Salmonella is a Gram-negative, non-spore-forming, motile, facultative anaerobic rod. The most studied species are Salmonella typhi and paratyphi (causing typhoid fever) and non-typhi Salmonella species (which can cause different clinical syndromes - gastroenteritis, disseminated infections, etc.). A 61-year-old male patient with multiple comorbidities (including myelofibrosis) presented to the Pulmonology outpatient department, Clinical County Hospital of Târgu Mureș, with a mucopurulent nocturnal cough. Paraclinical examinations showed the presence of a pleural empyema, which was evacuated in local anesthesia. The pleural fluid was sent to the Microbiology Department for bacteriological testing, where a fluoroquinolone-resistant strain of Salmonella spp. was detected. The patient received antibiotic treatment according to the antibiotic susceptibility testing. Due to the persistence of the symptoms, the patient returned two weeks later, when another puncture was performed. Salmonella was isolated again, but the strain showed a higher resistance to antibiotics. The two strains were compared using molecular methods of diagnosis (Enterobacterial Repetitive Intergenic Consensus Polymerase Chain Reaction - ERIC-PCR), the results showing a similarity of 92%. The occurrence of an extra amplicon band in ERIC-PCR suggests an important change in the bacterial genetic material, potentially related to acquisition of antibiotic resistance factors.

Abstract
This article aims to uncover the dimensions or characteristics of corporate governance in the literature of public relations that are also related to communication. We employed a methodological approach based on a systematic review of scientific articles in the field of public relations using the PRISMA method, along with content analysis through axial coding, the use of the Atlas.ti tool, and meta-analysis. After reviewing two major online research databases, Science Direct and Emerald, we narrowed our search to Public Relations Review as the fundamental scientific journal in the field of public relations. We identified 19 communication dimensions of corporate governance, consolidating related concepts into ten. The originality of this research lies in identifying key communication dimensions of corporate governance as an institutional framework for public relations. The research results reinforce the significant role of communication even in the processes of institutionalizing corporate governance.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
The economy is currently experiencing developing conceptual instability and a flurry of views. This structure imposes external demands on businesses and, most importantly, on the people who operate as the enterprise’s main engine. The company’s top management has the primary responsibility for easing internal decision-making factors that are causing pressures to escalate. If this doesn’t happen, external pressures may become exponential internal pressures that ultimately lead to the company’s destruction as it finds itself at the cross-point of the pressures.
The working perspective of the irrational and the bidirectional hierarchical relationships, as well as the interactions between technological evolution and human resource management, are all covered in this paper’s 360-degree view of a company’s productivity ecosystem. Additionally, we try to identify certain potential standard traps that might have an impact on the company’s medium- and long-term viability as well as short-term productivity.

Abstract
The process of digitalization has become an increasingly prominent concern in contemporary times. Despite the considerable investments made by national governments and international organizations, there remains a limited understanding of the success rate of digitalization initiatives, with only a third of such processes demonstrating notable achievements. The purpose of this study is to identify the main factors influencing the digitalization of managerial processes and the effects they have in the different stages of adoption, implementation, development, and post-implementation of organizational digitization strategies. We classified these factors into distinct categories to find barriers, determinants, challenges, decision-making, influence, risk, and critical success factors. The research analyzed 2590 papers extracted from the Web of Science database. Our methodological approach integrates bibliometric analysis with systematic literature review, following a rigorous 17-step process outlined in the Prisma P methodology 2020. Upon conducting our study, we identified 175 factors influencing digitalization decisions and their outcomes. We structured them by combining the PESTLE analysis, which evaluates external factors, such as politics, economics, socials, technological, legal, and environmental, with analysis of organizational factors, internal, by organizational structure, organizational culture, human resources, internal processes, business strategies, and management skills. The approach of the analysis and interpretation of the results gives the paper originality. The information provided through this research is helpful to practitioners in developing digitalization strategies and researchers as a basis for future studies.
Personalized Cardiology
Authors: Apetrei Eduard 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Personalized/precision cardiology is a great hope of our times. In daily practice, we apply personalized, but not precise, cardiology: we take individual patient histories and perform individual clinical examinations, but we treat using general rule, general evidence-based guidelines… We do hope, in the near future, to take individual examination and treat using individual rules.
Genuine, meaningful precision cardiology will rely heavily on genetics and artificial intelligence, but lifestyle, individual risk factors, patient and family compliance to treatment, and genetic makeup can influence diagnostic accuracy and treatment effects and should not be neglected. Extensive data exists regarding applications of artificial intelligence in the practice of precision cardiology, but we lack the systems that would translate its potential into clinical outcomes for real patients.
Experimental Analysis of the Post-Fracture Behaviour of Laminated Glass With Bolted Connections

Published: July 2024

Abstract
Ensuring the sufficient residual resistance of glass structures after the failure of one glass ply to the failure of all the glass plies is an integral part of the design of glass structures. This paper presents an experimental study of bolted connections in laminated glass during three stages of a glass specimen: an intact glass specimen, a specimen with one ply of glass broken, and a specimen with both plies of glass broken. The effect of the type of glass was observed. The experiment proved that laminated glass made from thermally-toughened glass with bolted connections in its unfractured state has significantly higher resistance than laminated glass made from annealed glass. In a state of both plies of glass broken, the specimens made from annealed glass showed a higher residual resistance than specimens made from thermally toughened glass. The performance at this stage was also influenced by the temperature and loading speed. The expected strength of the glass was calculated on the basis of numerical models.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
The objective of this study is to assess the impact of incorporating rubber tire waste and brick fillers as a substitute for sand in cement mortar samples. The evaluation includes measurements of the bending strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity, and displacement. The replacement of sand by rubber waste (RW) and brick waste (BW) at 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% for rubber waste and 0%, 2.5%, 5.0%, 7.5%, and 10% for brick waste by volume was experimentally conducted. According to the findings, the introduction of rubber waste leads to a significant reduction in the flexural strength, dynamic modulus of elasticity, and displacement. The brick waste can be considered a suitable filler, which minimizes the negative effect of rubber tires and tends to result in suitable mixtures. The optimal values (10.10% for the RW and 10% for the BW) showed good agreement with the experimental results, with differences of 1.85%, -4.73%, and -4.48% for the displacement, flexural strength, and dynamic elastic modulus, respectively.

Published: July 2024

Abstract
The interval of time after pouring concrete is an important factor, which directly affects the timing and cost of construction. The case study that was investigated in this research, is a tunnel project located in Iran. Eighteen mix designs were prepared using properties such as different water-cement ratios and the use of two types of superplasticizer with different dosages. The optimal mix designs among the samples were separately specified.
Concrete mix designs with different curing ages were made to specify the minimum curing time in which the concrete could gain the required compressive strength. Moreover, the concrete’s compressive strength was measured for different ages in order to determine the minimum time interval. For a better insight, two mathematical equations were derived to estimate the minimum curing time and time interval. Finally, a statistical analysis was conducted in order to determine the proper time intervals. Moreover, the analysis specified the impact rate of the research parameters (i.e. the type and dosage of superplasticizer, curing time, and water-cement ratio) on the compressive strength

Authors: Sahitya Kurre Sai , Prasad C.S.R.K. 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
The transportation network is the most important component of an urban infrastructure. The efficiency of a region’s transportation system can be understood by the effectiveness of its transport network arrangement. The current study employs Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to assess the structure of a transport network in various clusters of the Hyderabad Metropolitan Area (HMA). The study focuses on a thorough assessment of the transport (or) road network structure in terms of various criteria such as connectivity, accessibility, maturity, and development. The study also categorizes each Transport Network Structural Evaluation Criteria (TNSEC) level as “very low, low, medium, high, or very high”. The goal of this research is to create a Road Network Structural Performance Index (RNSPI), which is usually used to measure the efficiency of a study area’s transportation network structure. The study’s findings serve as a foundation for city transportation planners to put efforts in the planning to enhance network facilities in the study region. The study also investigates the utility of Arc GIS software in assessing the structure of an urban transport network.

Objective: This work aims to evaluate the physical and alterability properties such as resistance to staining and chemical attack of two natural stones (Siena White and White Marble) and two artificial agglomerated stones (Aldan White and Galaxy White), using Brazilian technical standards as methodology. ABNT NBR 15845 (2015), NBR 16596 (2017) and NBR 10545 (2017).

Theoretical Framework: Ornamental stones, such as granite, marble and quartzite, are valued in construction and decoration for their durability and natural beauty. Artificial agglomerated stones are industrially produced to imitate the appearance of natural stones, offering additional advantages such as greater uniformity and resistance. Both options have their various aesthetic and functional applications.

Method: Ten specimens measuring 60 x 60 x 20 mm were used for each material. Apparent density, apparent porosity and water absorption tests were carried out. To determine resistance to chemical attack, ABNT NBR 16596 (2017) was used, where the stones were exposed to a variety of chemical agents. The determination of stain resistance was carried out according to the ABNT NBR 10545-14 (2017) standard in an adapted form. The samples were exposed for 24 hours to penetrating agents and household products. Subsequently, the material was classified according to the ease of removing stains, after the cleaning steps described in the standard.

Results and Discussion: The results showed that natural stones and artificial agglomerates were satisfactory in meeting the requirements of the ABNT NBR 15844 (2015) standard, as the lower porosity and reduced water absorption generally make these materials more durable and easier to maintain, especially in environments where the Exposure to moisture and liquids is an important factor, such as in kitchens and bathrooms.

Research Implications: Evaluate the physical indices, staining and chemical attack of natural stones and artificial agglomerated stones produced by the industry.

Originality/Value: Carry out tests on natural stones and artificial agglomerates in materials sold in industry and certify their technological characteristics through tests established by Brazilian standards.
