Authors: Teofilova Teodora 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
This study aimed at clarifying species composition and ecological structure of the ground beetles associated with oilseed rape fields during flowering, ripening and post-harvest, as well as pastures adjacent to them. Field work was carried out in 2017. Pitfall traps (5 in each site) were set in 20 sampling sites in the Transylvania region, Cluj County. A total of 8,151 individuals were collected (7,576 in rapeseed fields and 575 in pastures) belonging to 82 species from 29 genera. The richest tribes were Harpalini (25 species), Zabrini (12 species), Pterostichini (10 species), and Carabini (9 species). The most species-rich were the genera Harpalus (13 species), Amara (11 species), Carabus and Ophonus (8 species each). The most abundant species in the rape fields were Poecilus cupreus (1,760 ind.), Brachinus explodens (1,500 ind.), Brachinus elegans (1206 ind.), and Anchomenus dorsalis (875 ind.). The most abundant in the grasslands were Pterostichus hungaricus (101 ind.), Calathus fuscipes (74 ind.), Harpalus caspius (67 ind.), and Cylindera germanica (64 ind.). The species found only in rape fields were 36 while 13 species were exclusive to pastures; 34 species were discovered in both types of habitats. The investigation acquired some new data on carabid diversity in Romania, including two new country records.

Published: August 2022

Abstract
In aircraft construction, when creating samples of new equipment, shock tests are often performed, both on individual components and the entire product. It requires introducing non-destructive testing devices into production, it is one of the most important factors in accelerating scientific and technological progress, raising the quality and competitiveness of manufactured products. Applying modern means of non-destructive testing, there is the problem of their protection from external vibrations, which affect the sensitivity, accuracy and reliability of high-precision measurements. In such cases, the conversion of measuring information during powerful vibration and shock tests, as a rule, is carried out by piezoelectric acceleration sensors. Although to provide impact testing, there is a need to develop and use stand-alone recorders. The main requirements for these recorders are to ensure the autonomy and operability of the recorder onboard the test product and to ensure the synchronization of the registration of the shock load.
Automatic Detection of Chip Pin Defect in Semiconductor Assembly Using Vision Measurement
Authors: Lu Shengfang , Zhang Jian , Hao Fei , Jiao Liangbao 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
With the development of semiconductor assembly technology, the continuous requirement for the improvement of chip quality caused an increasing pressure on the assembly manufacturing process. The defects of chip pin had been mostly verified by manual inspection, which has low efficiency, high cost, and low reliability. In this paper, we propose a vision measurement method to detect the chip pin defects, such as the pin warping and collapse that heavily influence the quality of chip assembly. This task is performed by extracting the corner feature of the chip pins, computing the corresponding point pairs in the binocular sequence images, and reconstructing the target features of the chip. In the corner feature step, the corner detection of the pins using the gradient correlation matrices (GCM), and the feature point extraction of the chip package body surface using the crossing points of the fitting lines are introduced, respectively. After obtaining the corresponding point pairs, the feature points are utilized to reconstruct the three dimensional (3D) coordinate information in the binocular vision measurement system, and the key geometry dimension of the pins is computed, which reflects whether the quality of the chip pins is up to the standard. The proposed method is evaluated on the chip data, and the effectiveness is also verified by the comparison experiments.
Evaluating an Inland Waterway Cargo Vessel’s Energy Efficiency Indices
Authors: Kalajdžić Milan , Vasilev Matija , Momčilović Nikola 
Published: August 2022

Abstract
Although the International Maritime Organization (IMO) introduced the energy efficiency requirements for ships more than a decade ago, to date, inland navigation has not been affected by corresponding regulations at all. Therefore, inland waterway vessels are left with no mandatory requirements that could push their technology into more energy efficient design. Fortunately, there are certain pioneering attempts to define energy efficiency criteria for inland vessels. This paper tries to gather and provide a review of such methods. Moreover, a typical Danube cargo inland vessel’s data are used to evaluate their current energy efficiency levels with respect to provisional criteria. Consequently, two methods are found and used here. They are both based on IMO’s energy efficiency concept but modified for the inland waterway vessels. The methods delivered a significant difference in applicability and were difficult to compare. Moreover, shallow and deep-water effects are explored in the same regard but provided unsound conclusions. The final results displayed discrepancies in energy efficiency levels for the same vessels and so the methodology should be improved and harmonised, if it is to be introduced as mandatory for inland waterway vessels. The analysis provided a glimpse into the current condition of the traditional design of the Danube inland fleet, with respect to the emerging energy efficiency policies.
Surgical management of post-COVID invasive rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis and its outcomes: Role of neurosurgeons in a tertiary care center
Authors: Das Anand Kumar , Mani Suraj Kant , Singh Saraj Kumar 
Published: August 2022

Background:
Mucormycosis, which was previously considered to be rare, has emerged with a new challenge in patients infected with or recovering from COVID-19. Immunocompromised patients are particularly prone to developing this disease. The most common form of presentation is rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM). We present various neurosurgical approaches to an entire spectrum of its clinical manifestations.

Methods:
This is a retrospective study of patients who were admitted to the neurosurgery department with ROCM and a history of COVID-19 infection between November 1, 2020, and September 1, 2021. All cases of ROCM underwent contrast-enhanced computed tomography/magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, paranasal sinuses, and orbit. A tissue biopsy was sent for histopathological analysis. All confirmed cases received liposomal amphotericin B and surgical treatment was immediately undertaken.

Results:
Out of 200 patients with ROCM, 40 patients presented with neurological manifestations. Seven out of 40 patients had focal lesions in the brain and skull bone that needed neurosurgical intervention along with sinus debridement and antifungal treatment. These seven patients presented with different clinical manifestations: large-vessel stroke (one), medium-vessel stroke (one), frontal lobe abscess (one), frontal bone osteomyelitis (two), isolated central nervous system involvement (one), and mucor mimicking trigeminal schwannoma (one). The surgical intervention included decompressive craniectomy, frontal craniotomy, subtemporal craniotomy, and a minimally invasive supraorbital keyhole approach.

Conclusion:
In high-risk patients, a high level of clinical suspicion combined with appropriate investigations should be performed as soon as possible. Symptoms and early warning signs should not be overlooked, as treatment delays can be fatal. A minimally invasive surgical approach is possible in view of decreasing the morbidity of large craniotomy.

Authors: Ishikawa Takaaki , Akutsu Hiroyoshi , Hara Takuma , Tanaka Shuho , Masumoto Tomohiko , Ishikawa Eiichi 
Published: August 2022

Background:
Intraosseous schwannomas are extremely rare and they have not yet been reported to occur in the clivus. We report a schwannoma in the clivus mimicking chordoma and review intraosseous schwannomas of the skull.

Case Description:
A 62-year-old man presented with gradually worsening hoarseness with dysphagia and atrophy of the left tongue, trapezius muscle, and sternocleidomastoid muscle. Magnetic resonance imaging showed that the tumor was mainly located in the clivus, and a computed tomography (CT) scan revealed an osteolytic lesion with expansion of the clivus and preservation of the bony cortex. Endoscopic endonasal surgery was performed to diagnose and treat symptoms. The tumor was subtotally removed without any complications. The histopathological findings revealed typical schwannoma, which showed Antoni A and Antoni B patterns positive for S100 protein. Based on the preoperative imaging, intraoperative and histopathological findings, the tumor was considered to be an intraosseous schwannoma in the clivus, and no recurrence was observed after 1 year of postoperative follow-up.

Conclusion:
Even though the intraosseous schwannoma in the clivus is uncommon, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis if an expansive lesion without destruction of the cortical bone is shown on CT as well as iso-hyperintensity on T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.
Double bypass for mycotic middle cerebral artery aneurysm
Authors: Rennert Robert C. , Budohoski Karol P. , Mortimer Vance R. , Couldwell William T. 
Published: August 2022

Background:
Ruptured intracranial mycotic aneurysms have high morbidity and mortality and present unique surgical challenges because of vessel friability.[1] Flow-preserving strategies are needed for more proximal lesions that cannot be treated with vessel sacrifice.

Case Description:
A 33-year-old man with no medical history who presented with fevers and peripheral septic emboli was found to have infective cardiac valve vegetations. He reported headaches and left arm weakness; an irregular 7 × 8 × 9 mm bilobed middle cerebral artery mycotic aneurysm involving multiple M3 branches with subarachnoid hemorrhage was found on cranial imaging. Multifocal and small intraparenchymal hemorrhages from septic emboli were also seen. Clip trapping and revascularization were recommended. A right frontotemporal craniectomy was performed, preserving the superficial temporal artery. After extradural exposure, a hole was drilled in the middle fossa floor lateral to the foramen ovale. The Sylvian fissure was split and the larger M3 branch was isolated. An endoscopically harvested saphenous vein graft was anastomosed to the cervical external carotid artery, tunneled through the middle fossa floor, and anastomosed end-to-side to the larger M3. The aneurysm was clip trapped and the involved smaller M3 was transected and anastomosed end-toend to the superficial temporal artery. Indocyanine green videoangiography confirmed patency of both bypasses. Postoperatively, the patient received antibiotics and a mitral valve replacement. He was neurologically intact on 1-month and 2-year follow-up.

Conclusion:
Although technically demanding, tailored revascularization and clipping of ruptured mycotic cerebral aneurysms are a viable treatment option for these complex lesions.
ESSENCE AND CLASSIFICATION OF INVESTMENTS AS A FINANCIAL AND ECONOMIC CATEGORY
Authors: Dziurakh Yurii 
Published: August 2022

Investments are a complex category that requires proper interpretation and clear classification, taking into account the characteristics and requirements of the time. The importance of applying a scientific approach to the identification of classification features of the studied concept allows to increase the validity of the choice and ensure high efficiency of investment, which directly affects the development of not only the economy but also other spheres of life. In the article the author studies the views of leading economists and features of the legislative interpretation of the studied concept. Considering the main approaches to the definition of investment, we conclude that this concept is quite multifaceted, specific to different countries based on the level of development, socio-cultural characteristics and manifests itself as a financial and economic category. It was found that the contradictions are due to the interpretation of the concept of «investment» from different positions, according to each area of ​​their study. Therefore, it is proposed to consider this category in different aspects (financial, economic, macroeconomic, technical, industrial, etc.), which will emphasize the importance of certain aspects in certain areas in the formation of the concept of «investment», without narrowing its essence. Based on the considered definitions of the essential characteristics of investment, the author's vision of the interpretation of the «investment» concept is proposed. The multifaceted interpretation of the concept of "investment" gives rise to various approaches to the classification of of this financial and economic category types, which prompted the author to systematize scientific approaches and form a generalized classification of investment types by basic classification criteria. A new type of investment has been proposed – land leasing investments, which are relevant for strengthening the country's defense capabilities and restoring military strength, assistance and protection of the population, can be used as a result of force majeure, including war. The use of a systematic classification will allow a more detailed approach to the study of the nature of investment processes that occur at all levels of economic entities' economic activity. The practical aspect of the generalized and proposed classification of investment types can be further used in statistical research and analysis of the investment market.
