Abstract

OBJECTIVE
To describe the prevalence, clinical findings, lesions, and risk factors associated with chlamydial infections in free-ranging raptors presented to a university veterinary medical teaching hospital.

METHODS
Medical records retrospectively searched for raptors admitted from January 1993 through April 2022 were tested for Chlamydia spp infections using quantitative PCR (qPCR), immunohistochemistry, culture, and sequencing. Findings were collected and analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression analyzed the association between Chlamydia spp infection status and risk factors, including age class, species, sex, and season of admission.

RESULTS
The prevalence for cases that tested positive for Chlamydia spp on 1 or more diagnostic tests, including mucosal qPCR samples for Chlamydia spp, tissue PCR for C buteonis, and mucosal qPCR genotyped as C buteonis, was 1.9% (74 of 3,983). All positive cases were from the genus Buteo (n = 74). Juvenile birds and winter season had higher odds of infection. All birds were in poor body condition (n = 74), often with moderate-to-severe CBC and biochemistry abnormalities consistent with multiorgan chronic inflammatory disease, emaciation, and dehydration. On postmortem examination of Chlamydia-positive birds (58 of 74), hepatitis (44 of 56), nephritis (24 of 39), splenitis (22 of 53), airsacculitis (21 of 43), myocarditis (21 of 39), and pneumonia (21 of 38) were common lesions, with intracellular bacteria in multiple tissues.

CONCLUSIONS
Signalment, season of admission, clinical signs, clinicopathologic findings, and Chlamydia-specific testing identified chlamydial infections in free-ranging raptors. Appropriate protections to prevent potential zoonotic transmission in clinical wildlife rehabilitation settings are recommended.

CLINICAL RELEVANCE
Many clinical parameters used to identify C psittaci infection in parrots can also be used to identify chlamydial infections in raptors.

Abstract
Switching to alternative energy sources is imperative at present. Solar energy is known as one of the Earth’s most cost-effective and sustainable sources of energy. Tin sulphide (SnS) is a commonly studied photovoltaic material, along with other materials such as metal chalcogenides, chalcopyrites, and perovskites. SnS possesses an appropriate band gap and an absorption coefficient within the required range, rendering it a viable material for solar cell applications. Researchers are attracted to SnS-based solar cells because of their easy-to-adjust structural parameters, plentiful availability, uncomplicated composition, and excellent mobility. This article models several characteristics of SnS-based solar cells using the SCAPS-1D simulation program. The NiO/SnS/TiO2/ITO solar cell construction may attain an efficiency of 24.0% with optimum configurations. The key criteria to be considered by researchers are the conduction band offset, the work function of the back contacts, and the radiative recombination factor (coefficient). The conduction band density of states is the least affected by the cell’s efficiency compared to other simulated metrics. This research may provide valuable information on the potential of SnS-based solar cells to achieve high efficiency.
Olfactory Stereotyping and Anti-Roma Racism: The Cultural Significance of ‘Roma Smell’ in Slovene Anthropology, History, Literature, and Criminology
Authors: Ramšak Mojca 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The article draws on various sources about Roma in Slovenia to show the role of body odour and illustrate the role of perceived odour in racial discri- mination and in maintaining distinctions between the majority population and the Roma. The cultural significance of Roma body odour is a complex and multi-layered topic, traceable in several sources dating back to the 19th century. The odour associated with the Roma has been described from various perspectives. In anthropology, the study of Roma odour provides valuable insights into cultural perceptions and stereotypes about the Roma community. Throughout history, the depiction of Roma odour in literature has often reflected societal prejudices, perpetuating negative stereotypes and discriminatory attitudes towards this marginalised group. Literary works frequently emphasise the bad odour of this ethnic group, while paradoxically ascribing to the Roma an excellent sense of smell, often used metaphorically to represent subtle intuition. In criminology discourse, the association of Roma odour with criminality highlights the interconnectedness of ethnicity and the criminal justice system.

Authors: Вера А.Ч. , Александр С.Е. 
Published: January 2025

В статье описано решение задачи верификации личности на основе нейросетевой архитектуры посредством обработки данных с помощью программно- аппаратного комплекса. Для создания нейросетевой архитектуры рассматриваются два подхода: сверточная нейронная сеть, ансамбль регрессии деревьев. При разработке модели проанализированы алгоритм и параметры, а также используемый датасет изображений для обучения нейросети. В ходе исследования протестированы разработанные нейросетевые архитектуры. В качестве параметра для верификации используется евклидово расстояние; на основе сравнения двух тензоров изображений выдается результат в числовом формате, с помощью которого определяется схожесть лица. В работе сделан вывод о том, что в ходе исследований подход на основе ансамбля регрессии деревьев с использованием библиотеки OpenCV показал лучшие результаты, чем сверточная нейронная сеть.
The article describes the solution of the problem of identity verification based on neural network architecture through data processing using a hardware and software complex. To create a neural network architecture, two approaches are considered: a convolutional neural network, and an ensemble of regression trees. When developing the model, the algorithm and parameters were analyzed, as well as the image dataset used to train the neural network. During the research, the developed neural network architectures were tested. The Euclidean distance is used as a parameter for verification; based on the comparison of two image tensors, the result is given in a numerical format, which is used to determine the similarity of the face. The paper concludes that in the course of research, an approach based on an ensemble of regression trees using the OpenCV library showed better results than a convolutional neural network.
