The Problem of Obtaining Evidence from EU Countries While Achieving the “Crime Does Not Pay” Goal
Authors: Šalčius Marijus , Molienė Reda 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
As the European Union has implemented the free movement of persons, goods, services and capital, borders for crime have also often disappeared, making cross-border evidence a decades-old issue in European criminal justice. This article identifies today’s opportunities, legal tools, and their obstacles and challenges in obtaining evidence at an early stage of an investigation located in another Member State. The article focuses on the identification of problems in the practical application of the European Investigation Order, European Public Prosecutor’s cross-border investigation tools and seeks to answer whether these problems will be resolved by the application of Regulation (EU) 2023/1543 (The e-evidence package) in 2026. In the context of the European Union’s efforts to fight crime in a comprehensive manner and in line with the European Commission’s Communication of 2008, that confiscation and recovery of proceeds are a powerful means for fighting organized crime effectively and its commitment to support the development of confiscation-related legislative and non-legislative measures1, alternative legal instruments to achieve the “crime does not pay” objective are also being developed, where obtaining evidence from other Member States is also a key issue. In response, the second part of this article analyses the present-day possibilities of collecting evidence in one of these alternative processes, the civil asset confiscation process, which has its origins in the criminal process analyzed in the first part of this article.
Long-term Target Tracking Based on Template Updating and Redetection
Authors: Xu Shuping , Li Yinglong 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
To address the issue of targets frequently disappearing and reappearing in long-term tracking scenarios due to occlusion and being out of view, we have developed a long-term target tracking algorithm based on template updating and redetection (LTUSiam). Firstly, on the basis of the basic tracker SiamRPN, a three-level cascade gated cycle unit is introduced to assess the state of the target and select the right time to adopt the template update network to adapt the update template information. Secondly, a re-detection algorithm based on template matching is proposed. The candidate region extraction module is utilized to adjust the target's position and size in the basic tracker, and the evaluation score sequence is used to judge the target loss to determine the tracking state of the next frame. Experiments show that LTUSiam achieves 28 frames per second on VOT2018_LT dataset, achieving good results in real-time tracking, and 0.644 performance on F-score, which has better robustness in handling the problem of target loss recurrence, and effectively improves the performance of long-term tracking.
A Baseline for Violence Behavior Detection in Complex Surveillance Scenarios
Authors: Long Yingying , Wang Zongxin , Wei Hanzhu , Bai Xiaojun 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Violence detection can improve the ability to deal with emergencies, but there is still no data set specifically for violence detection. In this work, we propose VioData, a datasets specialized for detection in complex surveillance scenarios, and to more accurately assess the efficacy of these datasets, we propose a violence detection model based on target detection and 3D convolution. The model consists of two key modules: spatio-temporal feature extraction module and spatiotemporal feature fusion module. Among them, the spatio-temporal feature extraction module consists of a spatial feature module that extracts key frames using ordinary convolutional networks and a temporal feature extraction module that establishes temporal features using 3D convolution. The spatio-temporal feature fusion module Channel Fusion and Attention Mechanism (CFAM) fuses the temporal and spatial features. The experimental results indicate that the precision of the suggested detection model on UCF101-24, JHMDB behavioral detection datasets, and our proposed violence detection datasets, VioData, is improved compared to other violence detection models, which not only verifies the validity of the datasets, but also provides a baseline for the subsequent research and improvement in this area.

Published: January 2025

Abstract

Background
The differential diagnosis of cardiac myxomas (CM), the most common benign primary cardiac tumors, is broad and a thorough diagnostic workup is required to establish accurate diagnosis prior to surgical resection. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is usually the first imaging modality used for diagnosis of suspected CM. In a single tertiary centre study, we sought to determine the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of TTE in the diagnosis of CM and to determine echocardiographic characteristics indicative of CM.

Patients and methods
We retrospectively analyzed clinical, echocardiographic, and pathohistological findings of 73 patients consecutively admitted for suspected CM.

Results
After diagnostic workup, 53 (73%) patients were treated surgically at our institution. Based on preoperative TTE, patients were divided into a CM group (n=45, 85%) and non-myxoma (NM) group. Of the 53 pathohistological specimens obtained during surgery, 39 (73%) were CM. The sensitivity and specificity of preoperative echocardiography were 97% and 50%, respectively. The overall accuracy was 85%. All NM tumors were found in an atypical location and 72% of CM were found in a typical position in the left atrium (p < 0.001). Tumors in NM group were significantly smaller than CM (24.3 ± 13.2 mm vs. 37.9 ± 18.3 mm, p = 0.017).

Conclusions
Our study confirms very good accuracy of TTE in the diagnosis of CM. The most important echocardiographic characteristics to differentiate between CM and tumors of different etiology are tumor location and size. Smaller tumors presenting at an atypical location are less likely to be diagnosed as CM, and these require additional imaging modalities for accurate diagnosis.
Institutional Quality and Human Capital Development in Nigeria: Is There Any Link?
Authors: Kudaisi Bosede Victoria 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Despite efforts to improve quality human capital, Nigeria consistently scores poorly in the human development index (HDI). The significance of institutions in human development has been emphasized in recent times as countries grapple with achieving sustainable development goals. Studies show that quality institutions provide equitable and fair development opportunities and capabilities to enhance human development. This study, therefore, examined the effect of institutions—corruption, democratic accountability, and government stability on Nigeria’s human capital development index. The ARDL model is employed to analyze data from 1990 to 2022. The outcomes show that a stable political system, high levels of democratic accountability, improved per capita GDP, employment generation, and consistent government spending on essential sectors are all critical for human capital development. Conversely, high rates of poverty and corruption have negative impacts on human capital. The findings lend credence to the intuition that strong institutions have a significant impact on enhancing quality human capital through improved healthcare, education, human capabilities, poverty reduction, employment opportunities, and security. It is therefore recommended that institutional reform that guarantees human development be pursued.
Forecasts on the Evolution of Human Resources in the Health System in Romania Using the Arima Method
Authors: Mirescu Lucian , Popescu Liviu 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
In this paper, forecasts are made regarding the number of employees in the public and private health sector in Romania for different professional categories such as: physicians, dentists, pharmacists, family physicians, medical assistants, auxiliary personnel. Using the Dickey-Fuller test, it was initially checked whether the time series were stationary and if not, the first or second difference was applied to make them stationary. Using the autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) method with the stages of identification, estimation, diagnosis and prediction, the forecasts for the period 2023-2025 together with the associated confidence intervals were determined, using data provided by the National Institute of Statistics. Regarding the public sector health personnel, a decrease is expected, in general, for the period 2024-2025. Instead, the private sector continues its previous trend of constant growth in the number of employees. Thus, authorities can use these forecasts to adjust strategies for training and recruiting medical personnel according to the estimated need. Forecasts are an essential tool to ensure the balance between demand and supply in the health sector, thus contributing to the improvement of medical services and the long-term sustainability of the health system.
Awareness & perceptions about organ donation among patient attendants in a tertiary-care hospital in South India: An observational study
Authors: Joe Neha , Chakala Shinto Teni , Fathima Farah , Shankar Nachiket 
Published: January 2025

Background & objectives
Numerous barriers like lack of awareness, fear of misuse and sociocultural beliefs contribute towards low rates of organ donation. In 2019, India had a donation rate of only 0.52 per million. Hence, this study was undertaken to determine the awareness levels and perceptions about organ donation among patient attendants in a tertiary-care hospital in South India.

Methods
This cross-sectional study, ‘passing on the torch of life’, with a sample size of 110 was conducted in a tertiary care hospital from June to October 2022. Beds across were selected by simple random sampling and the attendants of patients were interviewed using a face-validated structured interview schedule. Data was analysed using SPSS v.20 using the independent sample t test and ANOVA.

Results
The majority of the participants were Hindus (62%), married (68%), living in urban areas (62%) and gainfully employed (60%). The mean awareness score was 7.86±2.64 (out of 13). About 70 per cent of the participants were regarded to have adequate knowledge. The mean perception score was 67±9.41 (out of 86). A total of 95 per cent of the participants supported organ donation, however only 51 per cent were willing to donate. Males, participants with higher education and income and those residing in urban areas had significantly higher awareness scores (P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that higher education levels was a predictor of increased awareness (P=0.036).

Interpretation & conclusions
The majority of participants had adequate awareness, positive perceptions and supported organ donation, however, only 51 per cent were willing to donate their organs. Education levels was a significant predictor of awareness levels. A further qualitative study is recommended to explore the reasons behind the unwillingness to donate, despite strong support for organ donation.

Edamame soybeans (Glycine max (L) Merill) are a type of soybean plant that can be consumed and can be harvested fresh. The development of soybean commodities in West Kalimantan still faces a number of challenges, one of which is low productivity. The use of soil as a planting medium for edamame soybeans is faced with various problems, including poor soil physical and chemical properties. Providing vermicompost organic fertilizer can cause the solid soil to become crumbly, increase its porosity, improve soil aeration and drainage and can cause the pores to open and soil aeration and NPP to supplement the nutrient needs that are lacking in the soil. This research aims to obtain the dose of vermicompost fertilizer, the dose of NPP and the best dose of the interaction of vermicompost fertilizer and NPP on the growth and yield of edamame soybeans on RYP soil. The research was carried out on land located in Southeast Pontianak District, Pontianak City. The research was carried out from August–October 2023. The research used a factorial completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 2 treatment factors. The first factor is vermicompost (p) which consists of 3 treatment levels consisting of p1 (10 tonnes/ha equivalent to 50 g/plant), p2 (15 tonnes/ha equivalent to 75 g/plant), and p3 (20 tonnes/ha equivalent 100 g/plant) and the second factor is NPP fertilizer which consists of 3 treatment levels consisting of n1 (200 kg/ha equivalent to 1.25 g/plant), n2 (300 kg/ha equivalent to 1.875 g/plant), and n3 (400 kg/ha equivalent to 2.5 g/plant). each treatment combination was replicated 3 times. The observation variables observed in the research were plant height, root volume, plant dry weight, number of production branches, number of pods and pod weight. The interaction between vermicompost treatment at a dose of 20 tons/ha and NPK fertilizer at a dose of 300 kg/ha was the best interaction dose for the variables of plant root volume, plant dry weight and number of pods per plant.

The aim of the study was to search for data on the effectiveness of neoadjuvant therapy hormone-positive HER2-negative breast cancer.Material and methods. The literature search was conducted in PubMed and RISC databases. Publications from 2012 to 2024 were found. The keywords used were: “breast cancer”, “bneoadjuvant chemotherapy”, “bsurgery”, “bluminal tumors”, “bhormone-dependent tumors”, “bbreast-conserving surgery”.Results. The indications for neoadjuvant chemotherapy in patients with hormone-positive HER2-negative breast cancer are discussed, considering the possibility of achieving clinical and pathological response with the assessment of the number of performed breast-conserving surgeries as the main task when prescribing preoperative treatment in this group of patients, as well as the influence of pathological response on survival rates.Conclusion. Data on the effectiveness of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for hormone-positive HER2-negative breast cancer are contradictory. The rate of complete pathological response is 2.0–16.2%, with its prognostic role being ambiguous. However, most studies have shown no correlation of pCR with overall and disease-free survival. The execution of breast-conserving surgery after neoadjuvant chemotherapy is possible in 50% of cases, if other contraindications are excluded.

IntroductionThe Predicted Indirectly ReCognizable HLA Epitopes (PIRCHE) model is a recently developed algorithm that predicts indirect T-cell recognition by calculating the number of such epitopes in donor-recipient pairs.MethodsIn this study, the clinical significance of PIRCHE was evaluated in pediatric patients with relapsed/progressed neuroblastoma undergoing haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haplo-SCT).ResultsA higher PIRCHE-I score was associated with faster platelet recovery (P = 0.007) and lower incidence of hemorrhagic cystitis (13% vs. 41%, P = 0.028) and invasive fungal infections (0% vs. 18%, P = 0.045). Additionally, a higher PIRCHE-I score was significantly associated with better overall survival (OS) (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.34-0.97, P = 0.038). A higher PIRCHE-II score was associated with better OS (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.34-0.94, P = 0.028) and reduced progression (HR 0.48, 95% CI 0.30-0.77, P = 0.002). When combined, the PIRCHE-I and PIRCHE-II scores demonstrated an even stronger association with improved OS (HR 0.35, 95% CI 0.15-0.82, P = 0.016). Multivariable analysis confirmed that a higher combined PIRCHE-I and PIRCHE-II score was independently associated with improved OS (combined PIRCHE score HR 0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.79, P = 0.021), and a higher PIRCHE-II score was significantly associated with reduced progression (HR 0.42, 95% CI 0.25-0.70, P &lt; 0.001).ConclusionIn conclusion, higher PIRCHE-I and PIRCHE-II scores are linked to better survival outcomes and reduced complications in pediatric haplo-SCT neuroblastoma patients. Incorporating PIRCHE scores into donor selection is expected to optimize transplant outcomes.

BackgroundThree years into the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the virus continues to mutate despite widespread vaccination, posing ongoing challenges for epidemic prevention and control. The relationship between viral shedding and immune escape remains under investigation. This study aims to examine the association between viral shedding and immune escape in the BA.4/5 and BF.7 variants.MethodWe included 542 patients infected with the Omicron variant from Beijing Xiaotangshan shelter hospital. Based on the viral strain, patients were divided into BA.4/5 group and BF.7 group. Additionally, we categorized patients into rapid viral shedding and slow viral shedding groups according to their viral shedding rates. We explored the relationship between viral shedding and immune-related clinical indicators during this period.ResultOf the 542 patients, 118 were infected with BA.4/5 variant, and 424 were infected with BF.7 variant. The viral shedding duration differed significantly between BA.4/5 and BF.7 groups (p &lt; 0.0001). However, there was no statistically significant correlation between viral shedding duration and immune-related indicators, such as WBC, Hb, PLT, Neu, Lym, CRP, allergy, fever, and vaccination status (p &gt; 0.05). Furthermore, viral shedding duration was not associated with vaccination status, intervals between vaccinations, or vaccine types (p &gt; 0.05).ConclusionThe duration of viral shedding in patients infected with Omicron variants BA.4/5 and BF.7 is not associated with WBC, Hb, Lym, CRP, fever, allergy, or vaccine-related indicators. This lack of association may be attributed to immune escape mechanisms.
