Since its identification in late 2019 the novel coronavirus, severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) In Wuhan, China,
by the World Health Organization (WHO), which cause the coronavirus
disease 2019, it is rapidly spreading, resulting in the global pandemic.
As of 19 December 2022, a total of 64 million (649,038,437) confirmed
cases including 6,645,812 deaths have been reported across the world.
Over time, the SARS-CoV-2 acquired genetic mutations resulting in
multiple types of SARS-CoV-2 variants and subvariants that have been
confirmed. The Omicron (B.1.1.529) variant was identified later in
November 2021, with enhanced immune escape and was followed with various
sublineages BA.1, BA.2, BA.3, BA.4 and BA.5 and Other sublineages BQ.1,
BQ.11, BF.7, BA.2.75, and XBB due to mutations in the spike protein of
the SARS-CoV-2. In response to the current surge in the COVID-19 reports
by Omicron subvariant BF.7 also known as BA.2.75.2, in China and other
countries, triggering global alarm. The present review was conducted to
understand the virology, factors associated with increased
transmissibility with BF.7 and possible urgent preventing strategies to
be taken to curtail the novel omicron variants outbreak across the
world.

Published: December 2022

Purpose: Today, racial/ethnic differences in the incidence and prognosis of breast cancer (BC) are a well-known fact. This study aimed to examine the distribution of BC molecular subtypes in Turkish women and their relationship with other prognostic clinicopathological variables.

Methods: In our surgical oncology clinic, the database of 480 BC cases was retrospectively scanned between January 2008 and December 2020, and the demographic and histopathological results of the patients were recorded. Patients were classified into five main molecular subtypes. Survival curves were estimated using the Kaplan – Meier method. The relationship between categorical variables was analyzed using the chisquare test.

Results: The mean age of the patients at the time of diagnosis was 54.5 years, 46.3% were premenopausal, the mean tumor size was 28.7 mm, most of them were T1 (54%), ER, PR, HER-2 positivity rates were 79.6%, 73.1%, 38.3%, respectively and Ki-67 index average was 31.6. The most common molecular subtype was Luminal B Her2B-(33.5%). During a mean follow-up period of 56.9 months, 5 and 10-year overall survival (OS) rates were 89.5%, 79.6%, respectively, and disease-free survival (DFS) rates were 86.9%, 70.5%, respectively. The recurrence rate was 12.3%, distribution by molecular subtypes was significant (p=0.02). Luminal A and Luminal B/Her2- were in relation with Lobular Carcinoma (p=0.005), low histological grade (p=0.00), small tumor size (p=0.00), absence of lymphovascular invasion (LVI) (p=0.00), breast conserving surgery (p=0.022), presence of menopause (p =0.005) and local disease (p =0.013).

Conclusions: This study showed that there are differences in molecular subtyping for symptomatic BC in Turkish women.

Published: December 2022

Background and Objective: The horse has been a loyal friend and trusted partner of human beings. Horses are prone to infestation with both internal and external parasites. A cross-sectional study was performed to estimate the gastrointestinal parasite infecting horses in equestrian clubs.

Materials and Method: For the study, faecal samples were obtained from 50 randomly chosen horses of varying sexes and ages and analyzed using sedimentation techniques.

Results: The overall prevalence of egg/larva or cyst in the study area was 98.0% (49/50). Moreover, the mixed infection was higher than that of a single infection; there were significant differences between Protozoa and helminths (P≤0.01). The types of helminth parasites (egg/larva) detected were Anoplocephala spp. (17%), Parascaris equorum (17%), and Moniezia spp (20%) in increasing with the age of horses had a significant effect with ages above one year, moreover, there reported the oocysts of Cryptosporidium parvum (33%).

Conclusion: Hence, the present study's findings indicated a high prevalence of parasites compromising horses' health and welfare in the study area. Thus, proper screening and monitoring of the horses should be carried out regularly; regular and strategic anti-parasite programmers should be carried out.

Published: December 2022

Recent studies found that a city confinement as a result to Covid-19 outbreak resulted on eating and lifestyle behavior changes. This study investigated the influence of lockdown on eating and life style changes. A cross-sectional study was done from December 18, 2021, to February 20, 2022. The research composed of three parts. Part I (6 questions) contained socio-demographic statues; section two (11 questions) studied dietary behavior through that included) a Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence using 14-scaled items with an MD screener tool ranging from 0 to 13; and section three (12 questions) studying lifestyle habit changes such as physical activity, sleeping habits, and smoking habits. The results showed that, 17% (63) of individuals that believed their lifestyle had improved, while 38.6% (143) stated it had worsened. Specifically, during lockdown, the physical activity frequency seems reduced from 50% (185) to 33% (127), and sleeping hours for those sleeping more than 9 hours were dramatically raised from 17% to 31.4%. In terms of eating habits, 36.8% of participants stated appetite improvement, whereas 22.7% reported a decrease. The appetite change during confinement was not connected with body mass index, although it was significantly associated with weight change (p =0.0001). Similarly, 47% of participant said they had gained weight. The data also showed that 67% (248) medium adhered to MD diet. Thus, the Covid-19 lockdown has negatively affected both lifestyle and eating behavior of the students.
A review of Ireland’s Local Property Tax
Authors: Turley Gerard 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Property taxes are common in countries around the world. Until recently, Ireland was an exception as there was no annual tax on residential property. This paper is a review of the Local Property Tax (LPT) system that was introduced in 2013 and had its first property revaluations in 2021. Using the lens of municipal finance and tax assignment, the rationale, history, features and administration of this new residential property tax are outlined. While recognising country-specific circumstances, lessons, opportunities and challenges are explored with a view to future improvements in the design and implementation of the LPT. Lessons from the LPT experience are the importance of tax administration and the role of the central tax collection agency, and, in terms of design, the need for a tailored approach to suit local circumstances. Challenges include the rates/LPT mix and the relative tax burdens on non-residential and residential properties, the long-term sustainability of the LPT arising from design issues, the current low tax rate and future revaluations, and, finally, the need for regular property tax reform because of political and taxpayers’ opposition to a highly visible, unpopular but good local tax.

Authors: Tao Yi , Zeng Qingjun , Wu Youbo 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Using the panel data of industrial structure and economic growth (EG) in eight key districts and counties in the Three Gorges Reservoir area from 2011 to 2019, EG was used as the explained variable, and industrial structure optimisation was used as the explanatory variable; technological innovation (TI), FTL, FCI and budgetary expenditure (BE) were used as the control variables. Empirical research on whether the industrial structure can have an impact on the EG of the reservoir area was carried out. The research results showed that optimisation of the industrial structure in the reservoir area plays an important role in promoting EG, and the investment of fixed capital and BE has a significant positive impact on the EG of the reservoir area, whereas the level of TI and foreign trade have no important role in promoting EG.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
Promoting public participation in urban processes has long been a critical issue in discussions about urban governance. However, despite the advantages of more progressive and inclusive city governance, participatory budgeting (PB) often faces challenges in ensuring collaboration between different stakeholders involved. Not always do the involved parties have adequate resources to lead the brainstormed ideas to a tangible project application. In recent decades universities are supporting partnerships, grassroots projects and media conversations to take an active part in the development of cities. In addition to the wish of making research results available to a wider public and increasing the chances of making use of them, universities are also interested in the co-production of knowledge with non-academic groups. This makes universities an important stakeholder with a potential of supporting community engagement processeses. Thus, through the analysis of participatory budgeting processes in the cities of the Eastern Baltic Sea region and a detailed case study of participatory budgeting in Riga, this research explores the limits of current PB programs, motivations and advantages of involving university in this process.

Multi-photon time-of-flight MLEM application for the positronium imaging in J-PET
Authors: Shopa Roman Y. , Dulski Kamil 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
We develop a positronium imaging method for the Jagiellonian PET (J-PET) scanners based on the time-of-flight maximum likelihood expectation maximisation (TOF MLEM). The system matrix elements are calculated on-the-fly for the coincidences comprising two annihilation and one de-excitation photons that originate from the ortho-positronium (o-Ps) decay. Using the Geant4 library, a Monte Carlo simulation was conducted for four cylindrical 22Na sources of β+ decay with diverse o-Ps mean lifetimes, placed symmetrically inside the two JPET prototypes. The estimated time differences between the annihilation and the positron emission were aggregated into histograms (one per voxel), updated by the weights of the activities reconstructed by TOF MLEM. The simulations were restricted to include only the o-Ps decays into back-to-back photons, allowing a linear fitting model to be employed for the estimation of the mean lifetime from each histogram built in the log scale. To suppress the noise, the exclusion of voxels with activity below 2% – 10% of the peak was studied. The estimated o-Ps mean lifetimes were consistent with the simulation and distributed quasi -uniformly at high MLEM iterations. The proposed positronium imaging technique can be further upgraded to include various correction factors, as well as be modified according to realistic o-Ps decay models.
Transcriptomic data analysis of melanocytes and melanoma cell lines of LAT transporter genes for precise medicine
Authors: Szczepanek M. , Panek D. , Przybyło M. , Moskal P. , Stępień E. Ł. 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Background: Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) is a two-step treatment that can be used in some types of cancers. It involves administering a compound containing boron atoms to the patient and irradiating the affected area of the body with a neutron beam. The success of the therapy depends mainly on the delivery of the boron isotope (10B) to the tumor using an appropriate boron carrier. One of the boron carriers used is boronophenylalanine (BPA). Therefore, in research on the use of boron carriers, it is also important to know the mechanisms of its uptake by cells. Aim: To study the expression of LAT family genes in two melanoma (high melanotic WM115 and low melanotic WM266-4) cell lines and melanocytes (HEMa-Lp) which are responsible for the transport the BPA into cells. Methods: To normalize data from the transcriptomic analysis, the ratio of the median method was used. This allowed the samples to be compared with each other. Comparison metrics included log-fold change (LFC) values. The heatmap of LFC values and the cluster map were created. These graphs show the similarities and differences between the samples. Results: Transcriptomic data show that in melanocytes, LFC for SLC7A5 (LAT1) and SLC3A2 (4Fhc) was higher than in melanoma cell lines, which corresponded with their melanin content. Conclusion: Our results indicate overexpression of BPA transporter genes in normal cells (melanocytes), which may suggest the highest level of these proteins in melanocytes compared to less melanotic melanoma. Therefore, for BNCT, the use of BPA as the 10B carrier will require additional qualifying tests of amino acid transporter expression for patients and specific tumors to develop a personalized BNCT.
Deep learning-assisted analysis of automobiles handling performances

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The luxury car market has demanding product development standards aimed at providing state-of-the-art features in the automotive domain. Handling performance is amongst the most important properties that must be assessed when developing a new car model. In this work, we analyse the problem of predicting subjective evaluations of automobiles handling performances from objective records of driving sessions. A record is a multi-dimensional time series describing the temporal evolution of the mechanical state of an automobile. A categorical variable quantifies the evaluations of handling properties. We describe an original deep learning system, featuring a denoising autoencoder and hierarchical attention mechanisms, that we designed to solve this task. Attention mechanisms intrinsically compute probability distributions over their inputs’ components. Combining this feature with the saliency maps technique, our system can compute heatmaps that provide a visual aid to identify the physical events conditioning its predictions.
Characteristic Subgroups
Authors: Nelson Alexander M. 
Published: December 2022

Summary
We formalize in Mizar [1], [2] the notion of characteristic subgroups using the definition found in Dummit and Foote [3], as subgroups invariant under automorphisms from its parent group. Along the way, we formalize notions of Automorphism and results concerning centralizers. Much of what we formalize may be found sprinkled throughout the literature, in particular Gorenstein [4] and Isaacs [5]. We show all our favorite subgroups turn out to be characteristic: the center, the derived subgroup, the commutator subgroup generated by characteristic subgroups, and the intersection of all subgroups satisfying a generic group property.

Published: December 2022

Summary
This paper, using the Mizar system [1], [2], provides useful tools for working with real linear spaces and real normed spaces. These include the identification of a real number set with a one-dimensional real normed space, the relationships between real linear spaces and real Euclidean spaces, the transformation from a real linear space to a real vector space, and the properties of basis and dimensions of real linear spaces. We referred to [6], [10], [8], [9] in this formalization.
Performance of closed-form equations for force between cylindrical magnets over wide range of volume, aspect ratio, and force
Authors: Zurek Stan 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
Four types of magnets were used in this study: neodymium NdFeB (grade N35 and N52), ferrite (Y10), and samarium-cobalt SmCo (XG30 2:17). They were chosen to represent a wide range of volumes from 0.035 to 19 cm3 (540 times), radius R from 1.5 to 12.5 mm (8 ×), length L from 0.5 to 40 mm (80 ×), aspect ratio L/R from 0.051 to 17 (330 ×), and contact forces from 0.2 to 250 N (over 1000 ×). The study shows that previously reported closed-form equations are valid only at large distances (small forces). At short distances (large forces) the calculated force diverges to infinity or the accuracy depends on the aspect ratio, and some equations fail more than others. A new equation is proposed as a small modification of a previously known function, which provides reasonable behaviour over the whole studied range. However, the accuracy is unknown in a general practical case, because theoretical calculations do not take into account imperfections of real magnets, so there is no single absolute reference.

Published: December 2022

Abstract
The study evaluates the performance of the Abuja Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on port states control (PSC) with a view to providing empirical evidence and information on the rates of change in inspection efforts, detention efforts, and poor inspection performance of PSC Officers in the Abuja MoU. It examined the performance of the Abuja MoU and the level of compliance with International Maritime Organization (IMO) regulations in the West and Central African sub-region. Secondary data obtained from the database of the Abuja MoU administration was used. The findings indicate that the implementation of the instrument has improved maritime safety in the region. The result also shows that trends of inspection efforts, poor inspection performance, number of inspections with and without detected deficiencies grew in the monitored period. The detention rate declined, which implies a decline in the trend of deploying unseaworthy vessels in the waters of the region, which is good for maritime safety administration in the region. About 92.5 % of the total inspections are fully compliant with the IMO safety regulation while 7.44 % of the inspection efforts show shortcomings and failure to comply with IMO regulations in the region
Financial shocks and their effects on velocity of money in agent-based model
Authors: Boháčik Ján 
Published: December 2022

Abstract
The interaction of debt and economic performance has been getting more attention over the last few years. However, models making provision for debt are still outnumbered by models completely ignoring it. This paper is the first one to analyze the relationship between household debt (in the form of bank loans) and economic performance (in terms of aggregate income) considering both the impact of wealth and income distribution, and the impact of the MPC distribution under various financial shocks. The outcomes of the model are velocities calculated as ratios of aggregate income to aggregate debt. The paper demonstrates how financial shocks affect the income velocity of money under different distributions of wealth/income and marginal propensity to consume across the population. For this purpose, an original agent-based simulation model with a limited loan supply was designed. Proposed model shocks are shocks to loan demand, loan supply, marginal propensity to consume, macro-prudential regulatory ratios, real estate capital gains, repayment ratios, shocks to the structure of loans provided and to the structure of real estate property transactions. It is shown that the more equal the distributions of wealth/income and of the marginal propensity to consume, the higher is the income velocity of money. From financial shocks, the marginal propensity to consume shock and the shock to the structure of new real estate property purchases have the largest impact on velocity. The shock to regulatory ratios has generally the lowest magnitude.
