Authors: Kotherová Zuzana , Caithamlová Martina , Nemec Miroslav 
Published: October 2023

Abstract
The aims of this article were to discuss the position of Czech nurses in the country's health care system, to assess their role in the preventive care and health literacy (HL) promotion and to define main factors, which may negatively impact their involvement in preventive care. We checked by the questionnaire, what is the position of nurses working in the primary care in the Czech health system, how nurses perceive their role in the preventive care and which factors influence their involvement. The expert opinion method was used to discover main barriers limiting the role of primary care nurses in prevention and HL promotion. A total of 204 nurses participated between May and June 2022 in an online survey. The survey was completed by interviews with five experts. Our main finding is that nurses are willing to be proactive in prevention and HL; however, their autonomy and responsibilities in these areas remain rather low. The main factors influencing the involvement of nurses in preventive care are the type of practice, age of nurses, and the administrative burden. The expert interviews propose that nurses are overloaded and that, in many cases, they do not really know their responsibilities in the field of preventive care. The core policy lesson derived from our research is that appropriate definition of roles and responsibilities of nurses and their related empowerment might represent critical measures towards increasing health system resilience and sustainability.

Abstract
Communication networks are constantly increasing in size and complexity. Hence, the traditional rule-based algorithms of these networks will probably not operate at their most effective efficiency. Machine learning (ML) is being used these days to solve tough problems in a variety of industries, including banking, healthcare, and enterprise. Communication network performance can be improved using computational models that can deliver ML algorithms. This paper investigates the use of ML models in communication networks for prediction, intruder detection, route and path allocation, quality of service enhancement, and resource management. A review of the current literature suggests that there is a wealth of potential for researchers to leverage ML to solve challenging network performance problems, especially in the development of software-based networks and 5G.

Published: October 2023

AbstractTwo basic strategies have developed by network designers to deal including errors. by adding extra information to data before sending. such approach is to comprise sufficient extra information to make destination to infer what the sent data should be, or it possible to add only sufficient extra information to let destination to infer that errors have been occurred, however not which error then have it ask re-send defected data. Previous strategy utilizes errors correcting mechanism and latter uses errors detecting mechanism. Utilize of errors correcting mechanism is named as Forward Error Correction (FEC). In this thesis, sliding window has been implemented over Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS). Therefore, MPLS send data from one node to other node on network depend on short path labels instead of logical addresses in network layer, in addition to that MPLS is connection oriented compared to IP network. Finally, we have study and analyze sliding technique performance over MPLS from delay, throughput and packet loss point of view. It is show that go back N has belter performance compared to selective repeat in term of throughput.

Abstract

OBJECTIVES. Adenoid hypertrophy is related to obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). In this study, we investigated the relationship between adenoid tissue size and maxillary sinus volumes by examining the paranasal sinus computed tomography (PNSCT) images.

MATERIAL AND METHODS. PNSCT images of 41 children were included in this study. According to the adenoid/nasopharynx (A/NP) ratio, two groups were identified. Group 1 (n=19, 9 males and 10 females): A/NP≤0.50 and Group 2 (n=22, 16 males and 6 females): A/NP>0.50. The following measurements were performed: adenoid width, NP width, A/NP ratio, air column, soft palate, maxillary sinus volume and mucosal thickening.

RESULTS. Adenoid width of group 2 (16.11±2.26 mm) was higher than that of group 1 (10.97±2.26 mm). In group 2, with an A/NP ratio of 0.61±0.07, the air column value (6.30±2.27 mm) was lower than that of group 1 with an A/NP ratio of 0.40±0.07 (air column value: 10.06±3.78 mm). NP width, soft palate and maxillary sinus volumes were not different between groups 1 and 2. As the adenoid width increased, the A/NP ratio increased, and the air column decreased.

CONCLUSION. The increase of the A/NP ratio was related to the decreased air column. In older children, air column and bilateral maxillary sinus volumes increased. In males, the adenoid width value was larger than that in females. There was no significant relationship between A/NP ratio and maxillary sinus volume or NP width values. However, higher A/NP ratio values were related to lower air column measurements.

Published: October 2023

Abstract
Brain abscess is a rare but life-threatening infection of the brain. It often occurs as a complication of infection, trauma, or surgery. This case presents a brain abscess in a 22-month-old boy that developed after a transnasal injury with a foreign body. A minimal-invasive, transnasal, endoscopic-controlled technique was used, during which the foreign object was removed and the abscess drained. Bacteriological samples were obtained and the abscess cavity irrigated. Postoperative care included antibiotics and daily irrigation of the abscess cavity. Follow-up MRI scans showed reduction in abscess size. A spinal drain was inserted temporarily to address rhino-liquorrhoea. The patient remained asymptomatic during one-year of follow-up. This case report highlights the occurrence of a brain abscess in childhood following a transnasal injury and demonstrates a minimal-invasive, transnasal, endoscopic-controlled surgical technique. The findings underscore the importance of considering brain abscess as a potential complication in cases of head trauma, particularly in atypical presentations.

Objective: This study aims to present an assessment of the potential for reusing effluents from domestic sewage treatment plants in the Hydrographic Basin of the Ipojuca River.

Theoretical Framework: In regions facing water scarcity, effluent reuse emerges as an alternative to alleviate pressures and reduce contamination of water sources. In this regard, the choice of the Ipojuca River Watershed is justified due to the susceptibility of its constituent municipalities to water scarcity and pollution, as well as the fact that the Ipojuca River has been classified as the third most polluted in the country.

Methodology: The methodology involved basin characterization, data collection from the sanitation services provider to perform quantitative and qualitative evaluation of reclaimed water supply, identification of demands based on consumptive uses (industry and irrigation), existing water use permits, and the provider's customer database. Additionally, georeferenced maps were generated for spatial analysis of the water balance.

Results and Conclusion: Twelve Sewage Treatment Plants were identified, four of which are still under construction, with nominal treatment capacities exceeding the identified irrigation and industrial demands, except for two of them. In terms of quality, for the analyzed parameters, the treatment plants demonstrated satisfactory performance, suggesting that the effluent could be utilized for restricted purposes without the need for further treatment. Lastly, geospatially, the demands are located within a radius of 10km from the analyzed plants, in most cases.

Research Implications: It can be inferred that the basin holds a significant reuse potential to be explored as an alternative for enhancing water availability and reducing effluent discharge into the Ipojuca River.

Originality/Value: The results obtained through this unprecedented analysis in the watershed serve as a reference for policymakers and implementers of water resources management policies, as well as an encouragement for potential producers and consumers of reclaimed water.

Authors: ORAL Hasan 
Published: October 2023

GVK’muzda ticari nitelikte olan özel inşaatlara ilişkin vergilendirmeye dayanak teşkil edebilecek gerekli düzenlemelerin olmaması, vergi idaresinin kanuni dayanaktan yoksun düzenleyici ve bireysel işlemler gerçekleştirmesine ve mükelleflerin vergi yargısında daha adil hukuki sonuçlar aramasına neden olabilmektedir.
Çalışmamızda GVK’nın ilgili düzenlemelerinin ticari nitelikte olan özel inşaatlardan elde edilen vergilerin kanuniliği ve belirliliği ilkeleri gözetilerek tarh ve tahsil edilmediğini, mevcut kanuni düzenlemelerin yetersiz kaldığı iddiamızı savunacağız. Bu amaçla çalışmamızın ilk bölümünde mevcut 193 sayılı GVK ile bu Kanunun ticari iş, ticari kazanç ve çoklu işlem kavramlarına yaklaşımını ve vergi idaresinin GVK’da belirtilen düzenlemelere dayanarak oluşturan vergisel idari işlemlere karşı vergi yargısının konuya yaklaşımını ele alacağız.
