Automated Decision-Making in The EU Member State’s Public Administration: The Compliance of Automated Decisions of the Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund with Estonian Administrative Procedure Law
Authors: Zolkin Vladlen , Chochia Archil , Hoffmann Thomas 
Published: July 2024

Summary
Automated process control has been used for a long time. Innovation and information technology achievements have made it possible to use automation in the State governance. Algorithm-based automated decisions are integral part of the concept of e-Government. Automated decisions are becoming more and more prevalent in modern society of the EU. Using automated decisions in public administration is a challenge for Administrative Law, because it has to evolve and keep up with the usage of new technologies, keep the legal balance between the cost-efficiency and operational flexibility of the State in general and at the same time ensure the protection of rights of individuals in each Member State and in the EU as a whole. Estonia is EU Member State and its public sector uses automated decisions but there are no direct legal provisions regarding what automated decision is, what are the conditions for issuing them, what are the safeguards to avoid the violation of rights of individuals etc. The right to issue automated decision is based only on the authorisation norm stipulated in a specific act regulating the field of activity of administrative authority. The Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund is one of the administrative authorities which issues automated decisions in its field of activity. The aim of this paper is to examine and find out whether the automated decisions used by Estonian Unemployment Insurance Fund comply with the general principles of administrative procedure and the EU rules on data protection but also to identify aspects where legal adjustment is needed and propose legislative amendments. The paper is based on the analysis of relevant scientific books, articles, legal acts, supported by relevant case law and other sources.
The judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal of 7th October 2021, K 3/21. The case study on declaring the unconstitutionality of UE Treaties
Authors: Dąbrowski Marcin 
Published: July 2024

Summary
The judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal of 7th October 2021 (K 3/21) represents the attitude of Polish authorities to the principle of priority of EU law. The constitutional court has developed the conception that this organ is entitled to check the conformity of EU law to Polish constitution and to adjudicate that a treaty is in contrary to the constitution. Indicated verdict is an example of these ideas. It seems that such a judgment would cause a set of very serious legal effects, for example changing the constitution or terminating an invalid international agreement. It means that the verdict generated very serious legal consequences or threats. Fortunately, the verdict has not been realized, and its consequences remain undone. It is the effect of contemporary position of Polish Tribunal and their explanation of the judgment. Mainstream lawyers scholars and academics treat this as a political statement of judges of the Tribunal.

Authors: Mokni Ridha El , Iamonico Duilio 
Published: July 2024

Abstract
Botanical surveys carried out during the last 13 years throughout central and northern Tunisia (North Africa) allow to find first national and continental N-African records of non-native taxa belonging to Bignoniaceae. The genera Catalpa, Podranea, and Tecomaria are new for N-Africa (Catalpa is new for the whole Africa). Tecomaria capensis is here considered as a naturalized alien species, whereas Campsis radicans, Catalpa bignonioides, Jacaranda mimosifolia, Podranea brycei, P. ricasoliana, and Tecoma stans are casuals. Distribution in Tunisia, phenology, and original photographs are provided for each species. A diagnostic key for Tunisian Bignoniaceae is also given. Moreover, the name Tecoma ricasoliana (basionym of Podranea ricasoliana) is lectotypified on a specimen preserved at K (isolectotypes at FI), whereas the holotype indication of the name Bignonia capensis (basionym of Tecomaria capensis), made in Flora of Tropical East Africa, is here corrected according to the Art. 9.10 of Shenzhen Code (lectotype at UPS; isolectotype, here reported for the first time, at LD).

Theoretical foundations for the development of criteria for evaluating audience preferences in modern cinema
Authors: Shishkanov Andrey Ivanovich 
Published: July 2024

The purpose of the article is to highlight the theoretical foundations for the development of criteria for evaluating audience preferences in modern cinema. The research methodology is based on theoretical analysis, synthesis and generalization of scientific sources on the research topic, and the comparative method. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the author highlights the theoretical foundations of the methodology of criteria and variables for assessing the success and demand of modern films as a foundation for testing and developing a questionnaire to identify audience preferences. As a conclusion, the authors states that there is a need to pay attention to the phenomena of audience choice (for example, the "certainty effect", etc.); "flow experience" within the stage of watching a movie for its emotional perception by the audience. Considering the issues of statistics, assessment of the potential commercial success of a film production and the complex of factors affecting it, it is advisable to cite D. Kahneman's position. This researcher provides an argument for the value of simple formulas for forecasting, operating with a low number of basic criteria. Thus, this author emphasizes the importance of formulas that provide equal weight for each predictive factor, which is due to their indifference to the randomness associated with the organization of the sample. In the context of the statistics of the film business sector, the corresponding hypothesis will look like this: a model for evaluating the future success of projects in certain genres is able to provide a higher level of reliability compared to models that ignore genre originality. Thus, in the study of methods for predicting the commercial success of films, carried out by A.S. Tatarnikov, the great reliability of the predictive model using information on paintings of certain genres of entertainment (in particular, adventure films, comedies, etc.) was confirmed.

Published: July 2024

Aim: To evaluate the features of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients in the Far North and determination of the potential impact of extreme climatic factors on the development of coronary atherosclerosis. Material and Methods. Using the “Register of performed coronary angiography operations”, 5,679 patients with coronary artery disease were selected, who underwent coronary angiography at the Tyumen Cardiology Research Center. The main study group consisted of 2,590 patients permanently residing in the YamaloNenets Autonomous Okrug and 3,089 patients residing in the South of the Tyumen Region. Results. Patients with permanent residence in the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug were on average younger (53.20 ± 7.49 versus 56.79 ± 8.34 years, p < 0.001), men were more common among them. In the extreme North there were more smokers (40.7 vs. 32.0%, p < 0.001) and alcohol users (19.7 vs.15.0%, p < 0.001), and more frequent myocardial infarction in anamnesis (57.1 vs. 48.2%, p < 0.001). At the same time, in patients permanently residing in the South of the Tyumen Region, a burdened hereditary history of CAD was more often determined, and the frequency of arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia was higher. In groups balanced by baseline clinical and demographic characteristics, including CAD risk factors, patients from the Yamal-Nenets Autonomous Okrug had more frequent lesions of the three main coronary arteries: anterior descending artery (42 vs. 35%, p < 0.001), circumflex artery (25 vs. 23%, p = 0.038) and right coronary artery (42 vs. 38%, p = 0.007). It should be noted that in balanced groups in patients permanently residing in the Far North, occlusive lesions of the coronary arteries were statistically significantly more likely to be determined (54 vs. 47%, p < 0.001). Also, between the compared groups, statistically significant differences were found in the type of left ventricle (LV) myocardial remodeling, but these differences were not determined in the balanced groups. Also, in the group of patients permanently residing in the Far North, there was a trend towards a decrease in the LV ejection fraction (53.6 ± 8.6% vs. 54.2 ± 8.7, p = 0.074).Conclusion. In patients with verified coronary artery disease living in the Far North, a more frequent and pronounced atherosclerotic lesion of the coronary bed is determined. These pathological changes are probably due to the complex impact of unfavorable natural and climatic environmental factors.

Relevance. The psychological status and emotional state of patients suffering from heart rhythm disorders play an important role in the course of the pre- and postoperative period, whereby psychological effects of the fast-track approach in cardiac surgery, in contrast to clinical effects, are insufficiently studied.Aim: To investigate the dynamics of patients’ emotional state (severity of anxiety, depression and stress symptoms) in the perioperative period during fast track radiofrequency ablation (RFA), as well as to compare it with the normative values.Material and Methods. The sample consisted of 77 patients with heart rhythm disorders (mean age 57.09 ± 13.606; 44.2% male) hospitalised for RFA; psychodiagnostic questionnaires DASS-21 and PSS-10 were used.Results. It was found that preoperative anxiety (from moderate to very high) was observed in 57.9% of patients, symptoms of emotional distress – in 34.2%, symptoms of depression – in 18.4%; at the same time symptoms of anxiety and stress before RFA significantly exceeded the normative values (p ≤ 0.001). After RFA, pronounced symptoms of anxiety are observed in 44.7% of patients, stress – in 26.9%, depression – in 13.5% of patients; postoperative anxiety and stress symptoms also exceed the normative values (p ≤ 0.001). No statistically significant dynamics of unfavourable emotional indicators after RFA was revealed, only a decrease in emotional stress was noted, at the level of statistical trend (p < 0.1).Conclusion. It is expedient to carry out a more differentiated study of the emotional state of patients undergoing RFA on an expanded sample. Psychological interventions aimed at providing support are recommended for patients with heart rhythm disorders in the perioperative period due to the high stressfulness of the surgical intervention and patients’ emotional instability.

Background. Detailed study of the histopathological events and mechanisms accompanying the infectious process in native heart valves and their biological prostheses is very important due to the variability of clinical manifestation of infective endocarditis (IE).Aim: To study cellular infiltration of aortic heart valves (AVs) and bioprosthetic heart valves (BPs) affected by infection, as well as to search for common patterns or differences of native and BPs characterized by degenerative changes in the leaflet apparatus.Material and Methods. We studied the leaflets of AVs affected IE (n = 10) or calcific aortic stenosis (CAS) (n = 11), as well as the leaflets of BPs affected by IE (n = 5) or structural valve degeneration (SVD) (n = 10) and removed from the mitral position during re-prosthetics surgery. Histological sections were prepared using a cryostat microtome. Cell typing was performed by staining with antibodies to the CD45, CD68 CD3, CD19, myeloperoxidase (MPO) and CD31 markers using immunohistochemical analysis. Bacteria were visualized by Gram staining of histological sections. The expression of MPO in the studied samples was determined by Western blotting.Results. Colonies of gram-positive cocci and gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria were registered into native AKs affected by IE. BPs affected by SVD are characterized by the presence of mixed colonies of gram-positive cocci and gram-negative rod-shaped bacteria. Immunophenotyping demonstrated leukocyte infiltration (CD45+) in all studied heart valves. AVs and BPs with infectious lesions and BPs affected by SVD were characterized by inflammatory infiltrates included macrophages (CD68+), neutrophils (MPO+) and single T-lymphocytes (CD3+). In calcified AVs, we found no neutrophils; the clusters of immune cells were represented by macrophages and single T-lymphocytes. In both groups of AVs, single cells positive for the vascular endothelial marker CD31 were noted in the fibrous layer. The highest expression of MPO was observed in AVs affected by IE in comparison to other studied valves.Conclusion. AVs affected by infection compared to native heart valves affected by CAS are characterized by aggressive infiltration by neutrophils. Neutrophils and bacterial agents were also detected in BPs regardless of the diagnosed IE. These results indicate the involvement of bacterial invasion in the development of SVD of the biological element of BPs and indicate the necessarily for a detailed study of this phenomenon.

Published: July 2024

INTRODICTION. Currently, gene therapy based on adeno-associated virus (AAV) vectors faces a number of barriers, both biomedical and technological, which require studying and overcoming for further development of this gene therapy technology.AIM. This study aimed to analyse the use of gene therapy for a range of hereditary diseases, taking into account the barriers associated with its side effects and insufficient efficacy, the determination of the therapeutic window, and individual characteristics relevant to a particular hereditary disease; additionally, the study aimed to review the approaches to lifting these barriers and increasing the availability of gene therapy through the improvement of technological approaches to production and the reduction of production costs.DISCUSSION. The authors reviewed the experience accumulated for gene therapy products that were approved or undergoing clinical trials. The study included a gene therapy applicability assessment using several hereditary diseases as a case study. The assessment showed that correct determination of the therapeutic window for a medicinal product and timely diagnosis of a hereditary disease were essential for effective and safe gene therapy. The study considered the strategies used to reduce the risks of adverse events and increase the effectiveness of AAVbased gene therapy. The authors assessed technological advancements in the manufacturing of AAV-based gene therapy products. The most perspective directions were the transition to suspension culture systems, the improvement of bioreactors, the use of new methods and materials for the purification of viral particles, the improvement of transfection systems, and the creation of new host cell lines. Ultimately, this can lead to lower production costs and an increased availability of gene therapy.CONCLUSION. Currently, gene therapy is used only for a small range of hereditary diseases. Significant barriers to its use are due to insufficient efficacy, risks of adverse events, and high costs for treatment. Ongoing biomedical and technological development should lift many of these barriers and increase access to gene therapy.
