Authors: Besic Nikola , Vidergar-Kralj Barbara 
Published: September 2023

Abstract

Background
The aim of the study was to report on the experience in a single tertiary cancer center about the treatment and outcome of patients with Graves’ disease (GD) and metastatic thyroid cancer as compared with patients without GD in our country.

Patients and methods
Altogether, 28 patients (8 males, 20 females; 49–85 years of age; median 74 years) were treated because of differentiated thyroid cancer and distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis during a 10-year period (from 2010 to 2019) in the Republic of Slovenia. The subject of our retrospective study were four patients (three men, one female; 64–76 years of age, median 73 years) who had Graves’ disease and metastatic thyroid cancer.

Results
The mean age of patients without GD and with GD was 74 years and 71 years, respectively (p = 0.36). There was a trend for male predominance in patients with GD (p = 0.06). There was no statistical difference in size of primary tumors, pT stage or pN stage between the group of patients without GD and with GD. The median length of follow-up was 3.33 years (range 0.04–7.83) and 5-year disease-specific survival was 51%. One of four patients with GD and 14 of 24 patients without GD died of thyroid cancer. There was no statistical difference in disease-specific survival between patients’ group of without GD and with GD (p = 0.59).

Conclusions
In our country Slovenia, 14% of patients with metastatic differentiated thyroid carcinoma at the time of diagnosis had Graves’ disease. There was no difference in the treatment, outcome or survival of patients with GD in comparison to those without GD.
Historical Origins of the International Law Doctrines in Latin America (XIX-XX centuries)
Authors: Golubeva M. V. 
Published: September 2023

INTRODUCTION: The expansion of the community of states with independence of former European colonies in Latin America was a new historical fact that contributed to the evolution of international law. On the basis of Latin American doctrinal thought and international diplomatic practice the principles enshrined today in universal international legal acts were proclaimed. International law is often viewed from a Eurocentric point of view, with such a position little attention is paid to the influence of Latin American doctrine on the development of international law at the universal level. Therefore, it seems appropriate to highlight the question - in a historical retrospective - about the contribution of Latin American states to the formation of international law and international legal consciousness.MATERIALS AND METHODS: The materials for the study were the international legal norms of universal and regional nature, the works of national and Latin American scientists. When writing the article, general and particular scientific methods were used, namely, deduction and induction, analysis and synthesis, the historical method.RESEARCH RESULTS: The article reveals the origins of the doctrines of international law developed by Latin American authoritative international lawyers, state and political figures in the XIX-XX centuries. These doctrines had a significant impact on the formation and development of international law not only in the Latin American region, but also in the world as a whole, influenced the development of positions of Latin American states in the international arena.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS: The article substantiates the conclusion that it is necessary to consider modern international law, taking into account the significant contribution of Latin American states to its evolution at the universal level; reveals the interconnection of the principles in the doctrines of Latin American lawyers and state figures that were included in the system of international law at the universal level.
The Attempt to Universalise Domestic Jurisdictions: International Criminal Justice and Russia
Authors: Guerreiro A. 
Published: September 2023

INTRODUCTION.Over the past two decades, the Western bloc has intensified pressure on Russian Federation through attempts to expand its area of influence as well as to interfere in the domestic affairs of Eastern Europe countries. Russia's response to what it perceives as a threat to its interests has been met with recourse to all available means, including international criminal justice. This paper proposes the identification of legal proceedings brought in the last decade before the International Criminal Court and critically examines the possibility of triggering domestic jurisdictions against Russian or Ukrainian citizens associated with Russia, in order to assess the legality of the ongoing actions and the solutions that international law presents.MATERIALS AND METHODS. This paper first gives a brief overview of international justice cases started in the last decade against the Russian Federation and persons allegedly associated to Russian interests. It will then go on to focus the analysis exclusively on international criminal justice aspects, which are of interest because of the potential friction they may cause for international peace and security. Highlighting previous international courts decisions as well as the evolution of customary law, the fourth chapter is concerned with the activity of the International Criminal Court worldwide and the attempts made by the Western bloc to expand the jurisdiction of the Hague-based court in order to increase pressure over countries out of Western countries sphere of influence. After an inroad into the particular features and dangers of the principle of universal jurisdiction, the last two sections will explore the peaceful means to settle international disputes as well as the final thoughts on the main focus of this study.RESEARCH RESULTS.Having in mind customary international law, the inherent nature of treaty law and decisions derived from international judicial bodies, campaigns launched against the Russian Federation before criminal courts, regardless of whether they are national courts or they have an international mandate resulting from international treaties, are more able to aggravate the tension between Russia and the Western bloc than to settle any specific dispute between these two sides.DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS. The results in this paper indicate that any unilateral attempt developed by a State or a group of States to pursue a campaign against third States and persons outside the UN environment in order to bring any of them to face justice under a specific group of States’ values and principles is deemed unlawful. Therefore, such State or group of States are only able to settle disputes through options that are less likely to increase the level of threat against international peace and security.

In this study, seeds of cotton plants were coated with different boron concentrations and their effect on seedling growth was investigated. The experiment was carried out at Muş Alparslan University, Faculty of Applied Sciences, Department of Plant Production and Technologies, under laboratory and greenhouse conditions, according to the Randomized Plots Trial Design with 4 in laboratory and 3 in greenhouse replications, respectively. In the study, Di-sodium tetraborate decahydrate (Na2B4O7.10H20) (M=381.37 g mol-1) with a minimum purity of 99% boron compound have been used in different doses; 0 (control), 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500, 1750, 2000, 2250 and 2500 mg kg-1. According to the results of the regression analysis, it was determined that as the boron dose in the application increased, the root length was positively correlated and other parameters were negatively correlated. In terms of the parameters examined, 250 mg kg-1 Kaolin+liquid K-Humate (15% HA) 400 ml kg-1 (U3) boron application under laboratory conditions showed better results, and 1000 ml kg-1 Kaolin+liquid boron application under greenhouse conditions. It was determined that the application of K-Humate (15% HA) 400 ml kg-1 (U6) promoted growth. In addition, it was found that the results were confirmed in the grouping of the relationships between applications and parameters with heat map clustering and PCA graphs. As a result, it was determined that the toxic range of boron applications applied to the seed in the cotton plant was very narrow, and that it promoted seedling development and root elongation in the U6 application, but it was concluded that the study should also be studied in field trials in order to make more decisive decisions.
Fruit recognition using Statistical and Features extraction by PCA
Authors: O. M.Salim Nareen , Khorsheed Mohammed Ahmed 
Published: September 2023

Fruits are an integral part of human diet since they are a vital source of minerals, vitamins, fiber, and phytonutrients. Fruits are rich in potassium, fiber, and vitamin C yet low in fat, sodium, and calories. A diet high in fruit can help us avoid diseases including cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and others. Without professional dietitian guidance, a method that quickly reveals how many calories or fruit they are consuming can be helpful in maintaining health. The use of image processing methods is expanding across all academic fields, including food science and agriculture. The identification of plant fruits and the extraction of their features are the first topics covered in this essay because they are essential to agriculture. The goal is to use the results of Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to build an accurate, efficient, and reliable framework. Fruit detecting software could simplify human labor. Based on color and shape characteristics, several fruit recognition methods have been developed. However, the color and shape values of several fruit photos could be comparable or even the same. As a result, utilizing PCA feature extraction analysis methods to identify and distinguish fruit photos is still not strong and effective enough to boost recognition accuracy. In this paper, a fruit recognition algorithm based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is proposed. The establishment of a database of fruit photos with 6 distinct categories and 36 photographs is the second topic covered in this essay. In this study, a PCA classifier is used to implement the system, and the proposed system's classification accuracy is 75%.
KEY WORDS: Fruit, recognition, Feature extraction, Fruit Classification, Principal Component Analysis (PCA).
METODE DIRECT UNTUK MENGETAHUI NET PLANT HEAT RATE UNIT #10 PLTU REMBANG KETIKA SIMPLE INSPECTION UNIT #20
Authors: Satria Harfani 
Published: September 2023

Merit order adalah tingkat prioritas suatu pembangkit termal untuk di dispatch dalam suatu sistem. Hal ini disebabkan oleh net plant heat rate (NPHR) dan harga bahan bakar. Akibat yang terjadi pada pembangkit dengan peringkat merit order rendah akan diprioritaskan turun beban terlebih dahulu atau naik beban paling akhir. NPHR merupakan salah satu indeks kinerja pembangkit termal. Semakin rendah NPHR maka semakin tinggi efisiensi pembangkit tersebut. Permasalahan yang terjadi dalam penentuan NPHR PLTU Rembang saat 2 unit beroperasi adalah kurang akurat karena beban listrik pemakaian sendiri masing-masing unit tidak berasal seluruhnya dari gross output generatornya, melainkan juga dibebankan oleh unit yang satunya. Terutama untuk pemakaian unit common seperti water treatment plant (WTP), desalination plant serta coal & ash handling plant karena di suplai oleh salah satu unit. Solusinya dengan mencari nilai NPHR ketika salah satu unit shutdown, agar dapat diketahui nilai NPHR yang lebih akurat. Penelitian ini membahas tentang penggunaan metode direct untuk mencari NPHR pada unit 10 PLTU Rembang ketika unit 20 sedang overhaul. Metode direct adalah metode input-output yang hanya memerlukan bahan bakar sebagai input dan daya listrik sebagai output. Hasil menunjukan bahwa NPHR memiliki nilai paling rendah jika unit berbeban maksimum 300 MW gross. Dari hasil perhitungan didapati bahwa pada beban maksimum 300 MW gross, NPHR rata-rata pada unit 10 lebih rendah dibanding dengan data PLN Puslitbang Januari 2017 yaitu masing–masing 2.544,34 kcal/kWh dan 2.788 kcal/kWh. Sedang faktor-faktor yang menentukan nilai NPHR antara lain pembebanan listrik, nilai kalor bahan bakar serta pemakaian listrik untuk keperluan sendiri.

A Demotic Receipt for the Cubit Tax on Pigeon Houses from Dryton’s Family Archive: Turin O. dem. Suppl. 12791 (= TM 44876)
Authors: Pascalicchio Mariantonietta 
Published: September 2023

Sometime between 18 March and 16 April 108 BCE, Senmouthis daughter of Dryton, her sisters, and Senminis daughter of Stotoetis paid the tax on their pigeon house. The Turin demotic ostracon Suppl. 12791 (P. Dryton 54 descr. = TM 44876) is the receipt of the payment drawn up by Patseous son of Pates. The text was already available to the scholarly community in a first translation. The present work provides a transliteration, photos and a facsimile, and a detailed commentary. After an overview of the ostraca from Pathyris (modern Gebelein) in the Museo Egizio and the ostraca in Dryton’s family archive, the content of the text is examined in the light of what we know about the cubit tax on pigeon houses: the demotic and Greek terminology, the amount of the tax and its extra-charge of 20%, the location of the pigeon houses in residential areas, and the advantages of breeding pigeons. The author finally turns to the specific case of pigeon houses of Dryton’s family members and Senminis’ co-ownership.

Authors: Arias Gallegos Walter Lizandro 
Published: September 2023

Introducción: La desesperanza es un sentimiento de pesimismo frente al futuro a partir de las experiencias presentes. Su estudio a ameritado la creación de la Escala de Desesperanza de Beck que ha sido aplicada en diversos países alrededor del mundo, con fines clínicos y psicométricos. El presente estudio tiene por objetivo valorar la validez y la confiabilidad de dicho instrumento, en adolescentes de la ciudad de Arequipa.
Población y métodos: Se aplicó la Escala de Desesperanza de Beck a 872 estudiantes de 4to y 5to de secundaria de cinco instituciones educativas de Arequipa, cuyas edades oscilan entre los 14 y los 18 años. Se valoró la validez mediante el análisis factorial exploratorio y confirmatorio, y la confiabilidad mediante la prueba Alfa de Cronbach. Resultados: El análisis factorial confirmatorio reveló una estructura de tres factores, pero se tuvieron que eliminar los ítems 4, 8 y 18 para obtener índices adecuados de bondad de ajuste, sin embargo, los valores de la confiabilidad no superaron el valor de 0.7, lo que sugiere que la escala no es consistente.Conclusión: La EDB cuenta con validez de constructo, pues se compone de tres factores, pero sus índices de confiabilidad no son los más adecuados para la población adolescente de colegios públicos de la ciudad de Arequipa.
