Authors: Ahmeti Gentiana Beqa , Morina Besnik , Georgiev Georgi , Gontarev Seryozha 
Published: April 2023

Background. Studies, previously completed, announce that the handgrip strength as a measurement for assessing muscle fitness is associated with cardiovascular risk factors. Yet, the relation of handgrip strength to the blood pressure in children is inconsistent. Therefore, we conducted the present research aiming to establish the relation of the handgrip strength to the blood pressure in Macedonian children from the Skopje region.
Materials and methods. The research was conducted on a sample of 1076 children (534 boys and 542 girls), whereby the following characteristics were measured: blood pressure, handgrip strength, weight, height, body fat percentage, waist circumference and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated. General linear models were used to examine the association between handgrip strength and the outcome variables.
Results. After the adjustment of age, gender, BMI, body fat percentage and waist circumference, the handgrip strength was statistically significantly positively associated to both systolic (P<0.0001) and diastolic (P=0.02) blood pressure. There was a growing trend of the systolic blood pressure as the handgrip strength increased from the lower quartile to the upper quartile with 3,7 mm Hg difference between the upper and lower quartile (P for trend = 0.03). In this research, it was not established a statistically significant trend of the diastolic blood pressure as the hand grip strength increases from the lower quartile to the upper quartile (P for trend=0.09).
Conclusions. The muscle fitness has a positive correlation with the blood pressure in the respondents. The implications and the basic mechanisms of these results require further research studies.

Published: April 2023

Background: Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) have complex unmet needs. Physicians cite lack of knowledge, skills and resources as barriers to meeting these. ECHO (Extension of community health outcomes) ADHD, a case based tele-mentoring model was designed to address gaps in physician knowledge and skills regarding ADHD. A study was conducted to assess 1. Acceptability and feasibility of the program 2. Change in knowledge, self-efficacy and perception about appropriateness and feasibility of role in ADHD diagnosis and management pre and post program.
Methods: The 6-month pilot trained pediatricians, developmental pediatricians, psychiatrists, neurologists through 14 sessions comprising lectures, case discussions. Participants completed measures for knowledge (KADDS-knowledge of attention deficit disorders scale), self-efficacy, and acceptability and feasibility of role at baseline and endline. Descriptive and non-parametric analysis assessed acceptability and feasibility of program and change in knowledge, self-efficacy, appropriateness and feasibility of role. De-identified case summaries helped in analysing participant queries.
Results: Sixty four percent (57/88) participants completed baseline and endline evaluations and were included. Most were pediatricians and developmental pediatricians who found the model acceptable and feasible. Significant improvement was noted in knowledge about ADHD diagnosis, self-efficacy and perceptions about appropriateness and feasibility of role. Improvement in knowledge about ADHD comorbidities and management was not significant on KADDS. Case summaries, questions to hub team, discussions indicated participant focus on ADHD diagnosis.
Conclusions: ECHO ADHD is an acceptable and feasible model in low- and middle-income country (LMIC) setting which improved knowledge and self-efficacy among participants.

THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE ACT AS A FORM OF ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION IN GERMAN ADMINISTRATIVE LAW
Authors: Lewandowski Alexander 
Published: April 2023

The article is devoted to the consideration of administrative act as a form of management by German authorities. A special place in the article is given to the history of the act’s development into an independent unit of administrative law. The author shows the necessity of transition from the concept that emerged in the academic literature in the image of the French act administrative unilateral to a full-ledged legal figure which is still the main element of the guarantee of protection of citizens. The author examines the place of an administrative act in the system of the Administrative Procedure Act and other legal provisions of German law, with an emphasis on the difference in the understanding of an act in different branches of administrative law. The author also reveals the interaction of the act as an element of administrative coercion with the principles of democracy. Particular attention is paid to the understanding of an administrative act in the context of administrative process, including the contrast between the influence of judicial practice and its purely managerial understanding. The article also discusses the peculiarity of an administrative act, namely, its ability to be transformed depending on the needs of public authorities and the absence of any strict restrictions on the part of the legislator. The author also raises the issue of the possibility of replacing or transforming the act with other forms of governance. The author discusses the possibility of a more detailed stratification of an administrative act to increase its effectiveness of application by making its elements easier to construct and facilitating the search for answers to emerging questions.
Conflicting Rules in Matters Relating to Maintenance Obligations where the Connecting Factor is the Will of the Parties under Articles 7 and 8 of the Hague Protocol of 23 November 2007 on the Law Applicable to Maintenance Obligations
Authors: Anitei Nadia-Cerasela 
Published: April 2023

Article 2.612 of the Civil Code provides: "The law applicable to the maintenance obligation shall be determined in accordance with the rules of European Union law."
The law governing the maintenance obligation is found in the European regulations (European Commission, 2008).
Romania has concluded Conventions (e.g. the Convention between Romania and the Kingdom of Belgium on the recognition and enforcement of judgments in matters relating to maintenance obligations) and Legal Assistance Treaties (Government of Romania, 1999; International Act, 1995; Parliament of Romania, 1995; 1997).
The legal framework for the application in Romania of European Union regulations and various instruments of private international law in the field of maintenance obligations is Law No 36/2012 on certain measures necessary for the implementation of certain regulations and decisions of the Council of the European Union (2009) and instruments of private international law in the field of maintenance obligations (Parliament of Romania, 2012).
Among the European regulations in this field, we have proposed to dedicate our study to the Hague Protocol of 23 November 2007 on the law applicable to maintenance obligations.
The Protocol comprises two categories of rules which differ in the nature of the point of connection:
- The first category is made up of rules which provide an objective location of the obligatory relationship (Art. 3 - Art. 6);
- The second category consists of rules whose point of connection is the will of the parties (Art. 7 to Art. 8).
This article is devoted to the presentation of the law applicable to maintenance obligations in the case of conflicting rules whose point of connection is the will of the parties as provided for in Articles 7 and 8 of the Hague Protocol of 23 November 2007 on the law applicable to maintenance obligations.
About Limits in Exercising the Active Role of the Judge in Romanian Procedural Law
Authors: Lupu Mihai 
Published: April 2023

The active role of the judge, a fundamental principle of procedural law, is applied as varied as the personalities of the judges who administer justice are different.
In relatively simple lawsuits, with a well-defined object and placed in a single demand end, the active role is limited to following a natural, predictable path. However, there are also situations in which the lawsuits have a complex object, with several claims, an object that does not, in fact, resolve the dispute, but will probably lead to another lawsuit.
The tendency to emphasize formalism raises the issue of the ever-increasing limitation of the judge's role.
In this paper I propose to outline some of these boundaries and possible situations in which the judge, exercising his active role by possibly expanding the procedural framework, resolves the dispute and prevents a new trial.
General Management Components Involved in the Management of Financial Audit and Control
Authors: Tavala Florina-Maria 
Published: April 2023

The efficient functioning of organizations cannot be achieved without ensuring the correct use of the public or
private funds that are at their disposal, in accordance with the objectives which they have set for themselves. Managers have the task of managing the funds in accordance with the legislation in force, as well as taking measures in order to prevent, sanction or recover any damage caused by financial irregularities or by the failure to achieve the objectives for which they were allocated.
A basic concept in the theory and practice of modern management is represented by responsibility. To fulfill his
responsibility/responsibilities, the manager needs a system of guidance, self-regulation or coercion, and that system is represented by control. Control, and in particular the financial audit and control, contributes to the evaluation of the programs performance, to the planning of activities and to a good management of resources. The successful accomplishment of these tasks cannot be accomplished outside of management science and the reverberations it entails.
The role and importance of the financial audit and control in management, imposes, as it is shown in this approach, the
need for a management of this activity, which would have its own structural elements, with specific relationships between them, and also with the system in which it evolves.
The financial audit and control management, as a segment of management, must be defined starting from the general
management. That is why, in this paper, I tried to approach, as a personal contribution, the management and financial audit in terms of general components (Management Science, Scientific Management, Management Processes, Management Relations, Management Principles, Management as a synthetic economic discipline) and in terms of the components of the organization's Management system (Information system, Decision system, Organizational system, Methodological system). The study that took place revealed a series of predictable influences such as: the need to create some computerized infrastructures, to create some horizontal information networks that would allow the efficient use of knowledge, increasing the role of management by objectives coupled with management through budgets, elaborating complex analysis and evaluation methodologies.

O IMPACTO DA PSICANÁLISE NA TRANSFIGURAÇÃO DA TEORIA CRÍTICA
Authors: Drawin Carlos Roberto 
Published: April 2023

O presente texto divide-se em três partes. Na primeira abordamos uma problemática de fundo da Teoria Crítica de modo a propor a flexibilização de suas fronteiras no sentido da abertura transdisciplinar e da incorporação de pensadores que normalmente não são incluídos em sua tradição. Nesse quadro teórico mais amplo se daria o seu encontro com a psicanálise. Na segunda parte caracterizamos alguns elementos desse encontro apontando as suas dificuldades e tomando as ideias de Wilhelm Reich como um caso exemplar dessas dificuldades enquanto tentativa de uma síntese freudiana-marxista. Na terceira parte propomos a polarização das duas correntes de pensamento como uma forma de manutenção de seu potencial crítico.

Technology Focus: Artificial Lift (March 2023)
Authors: Harris Dennis 
Published: April 2023

Selecting artificial lift papers for the Tech Focus feature of JPT can be a daunting exercise when technologies and innovations abound, more so post-pandemic, with 157 submitted abstracts covering 2021–2022. In narrowing the offerings to three, the criteria of conformance to guidelines and novelty of information, technical equipment, and application were considered. Industry indicators and interest were also factors.
Gas lift remains of high global interest, whether in long horizontal shale oil wells or vertical ones because of the cost to operate lower lifting. Declining production and high gas/oil ratios (GORs) present a challenge for conversion to secondary lift forms. Paper SPE 209721 provides an innovative solution combining gas lift with sucker rod lift to enhance and exploit low-productivity wells in high-GOR fields.
Permanent magnet motors (PMMs) have made quite the technical splash in the industry over the past decade. PMMs are one-third shorter and result in higher power densities and power savings of up to 18% just by changing out the induction motor. PMMs are again grabbing attention for the direct 1:1 ratio of electrical to carbon footprint. Current environmental, social, and governance concerns are placing demands on all operators, and PMMs are positioned to help with carbon reduction as a low-hanging fruit in paper SPE 209736.
In paper SPE 209763, we look at all-metal progressing cavity pumps (aka M2M), which consist of a metal rotor and metal stator. Incremental advances in geometry and materials continue to see operators use high-temperature fluids with low operational expenditure in mind. Reliability is always a concern, and now a novel condition indicator has been developed and tested that offers a better indicator than pump efficiency alone.

Technology Focus: High Pressure/High Temperature (March 2023)
Authors: Das Santanu 
Published: April 2023

The array of papers received for review this year covers a wide spectrum, both in applications and research, which indicates that the exploration and production (E&P) industry is actively working to monetize high-pressure/high-temperature (HP/HT) reservoirs.
The pandemic has already put an indelible mark on the industry during the past 2 years. The present geopolitical scenario is posing a serious challenge to countries’ energy security. The oil and gas sector is confronted with the biggest task in society—addressing climate change.
The E&P sector is going to face stiff challenges in the coming days, with the word “petroleum” being substituted by the word “energy” to cover wider possibilities. Eminent actions are distinctly visible in the strategic planning of fossil fuel companies and the capital-expenditure investments in the E&P sector. Companies are shifting priorities toward diversification, resilience, and decarbonization.
Safety continues to dominate HP/HT operations and will do so in the future with more-stringent measures and compliances. Cost-effective technology solutions blanketing the entire domain of HP/HT activities will provide exploitation on a sustainable basis with collaboration between industry and academia.
While reviewing the papers, every attempt was made to provide a fair representation that cuts across the HP/HT domain to show the reader what is happening in the industry, both in the field as well as in research, over different geographical locations. Several of these case studies presented inspiration tied to the indomitable human spirit that can overcome challenges through innovation.

Identification of a 16-MTGs Prognostic Signature in Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Authors: Wang Xiaoqin , Li Guixia , Feng Pengcheng 
Published: April 2023

Abstract
Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is one of the largest lymphoma subcategories. Usually, 50-70% of DLBCL patients can be cured by the standard treatment. But at least one third have bad prognosis. Based on this situation, the research on DLBCL therapy strategies is still indispensable.
Method: A prognostic signature was built according to public data and bioinformatics methods, the stability and reliability was assessed and validated. GSEA was performed to explore the difference between different groups. Consensus clustering and immune infiltration analysis were conducted comprehensively.
Results: In this work, a signature based on multiple metabolism-associated genes (MTGs) was established, containing 16 MTGs, to predict the prognosis of DLBCL patients. The accuracy and effectiveness of this signature have been verified by three external validation sets. According to the risk formula, DLBCL patients were divided into high- and low-risk groups, and the survival rate of the low-risk group was significantly higher than that of the high-risk group. Furthermore, Gene set enrichment analysis (GSEA) demonstrated that Beta-alanine metabolism and regulation of actin cytoskeleton signal pathways were enriched in the low-risk group. The actual survival and nomogram-predicted survival matched well both in the training cohort and verification cohorts.
Conclusion: In general, our prognostic signature can provide reliable and valuable information for medical workers in predicting prognosis of DLBCL.
