Carrier Screening for Single-Gene Disorders – A Brief Review
Authors: Kovacheva Katya S. , Nikolova Slavena E. , Kamburova Zornitsa B. 
Published: January 2022

Summary
Carrier screening (CS) is an approach to pre-reproductive identification of couples at risk of having offspring with a single-gene disorder (SGD). The goal of CS is to facilitate reproductive autonomy and informed decision-making of the revealed risk couples. Initially, CS was introduced in the 1970s among the Ashkenazi Jewish population in the USA with a high incidence of Tay-Sachs disease. Until recently, CS had a limited application, mainly among individuals of a particular ethnicity or family history of SGD, and a limited number of conditions are included. Implementing the revolutionary technology of next-generation sequencing revealed a much more comprehensive range of possibilities for CS. The expanded alternative variant introduced a new concept that allows screening for hundreds to thousands of SGDs without pre-selection of individuals based on their ancestry or family history. Furthermore, the number of detected pathogenic variants is much higher compared to the traditional CS. Currently, there is insufficient experience with the application of expanded CS, and the lack of uniform guidelines is a major problem when it comes to massive implementation. Nevertheless, the significant potential of the expanded CS has given rise to a growing interest in it and provoked in-depth discussions about the opportunities of widespread application in practice.
Market Power and Bank Profitability: Evidence from Montenegro and Serbia
Authors: Grubišić Zoran , Kamenković Sandra , Kaličanin Tijana 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between profitability and market power in the banking sector using data from the financial reports of the banks that operated in Serbia and Montenegro, covering the period from the first quarter of 2010 to the last quarter of 2019. In order to investigate this relationship, determinants of bank profitability are split between internal and external. As the external determinants, selected ratios of concentration were calculated and used in order to measure market power. The total of sixteen panel regression models were applied, eight for each country. The results indicate that variations of return on assets and return on equity in Serbia can be explained by the variations of the ratios of concentration. On the other hand, results of the panel regression model applied for the banking sector of Montenegro does not give enough argument to support such explanation, and bank profitability can be explained by bank efficiency to some extent.
Analysis of the Assets, Credits and Deposits Concentration within the Croatian Banking System based on Selected Concentration Indices
Authors: Anđelinović Mihovil , Milec Mihaela , Dumičić Ksenija 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
This paper analyses the concentration of the banking system in Croatia and the impact of concentration on stability of the economic system as a whole over the period since 2002 to 2017. The level of concentration is usually related to the competitiveness of a particular sector, in this case the banking system, which affects the development and health of the country's entire economic system. The banking system, as the basis for the development of all other sectors of the economy, has been analysed here in the context of the concentration trend and efficiency in the selected time period using selected concentration indices: Concentration Ratio, Herfindahl-Hirschman Index, the Gini coefficient and the entropy measure using the variables of total assets of banks, loans granted, and received deposits. This research concludes that in the considered period of nearly 20 years, Croatia was among the EU countries with increased concentration level of the banking system.
Forensic accounting: state and development perspectives in the Republic of Croatia
Authors: Bartulović Marijana 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
Forensic accounting as a profession plays a major role in preventing and detecting frauds and almost in all areas of business there is a need for the services of forensic accountants. In modern conditions, when the whole world is struggling with the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequences it brings, an increase in the number of frauds is expected, which will result in an increase of demand for specially trained experts in the area of fraud prevention and detection. In this context, this paper emphasizes the role of forensic accountant in the fight against fraud and presents the occupational standard and qualification standard developed for this profession in the Republic of Croatia. The occupational standard identifies key jobs within the profession as well as the competences that a person needs to possess to successfully perform jobs within the profession.
Landscape Painting in the Research of Landscape Changes

Published: January 2022

Abstract
The article analyses possibilities of using landscape paintings in the studies of land cover changes. It examines 112 paintings from 1728 till 1976 and compares them with existing topographic maps. It compares land cover depicted in the paintings with present landscape and it studies changes of landscape derived from topographic maps from several periods, ranging from 1764 till 2006. In order to make the analyses, all paintings had to be localised as precisely as possible. This was done with the help of present map and by field work. Field work was also necessary for identifying main land use/cover changes in comparison to landscape painting. A TopoLandUse database, consisting of land use vector data from five periods, based on vectorisation of topographical maps, was used for analysing land use/land cover changes, their rates and main trends.
Comparison of landscape paintings with topographic maps showed overall agreement between both types of sources. Paintings often capture details that cannot be found in the maps, thus enriching gained data. They can also serve as a source for periods from which no maps and other cartographic sources exist. However, paintings are as reliable as the painter makes them.
Comparison of landscape in the paintings with the present landscape showed general extensification and abandonment of the landscape, which manifested mainly in the increase of woody vegetation and decrease of arable land. Analyses of land cover changes in the surrounding cadastres in several periods confirmed general trends that can be seen in not only the Czech Republic but also elsewhere in Europe. These are mainly spread of both woody vegetation and permanent grassland at the detriment of arable land but also increase in built-up and recreational area in the settlements.
Deconstructing Contemporary Dance Discourses by Acknowledging Elderly Female Bodies
Authors: Simonson Annakarin 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
This article uses a choreographic project to discuss the relationship between elderly women and contemporary dance. It focuses on how participating in the project is of artistic value to these women and what happens in the meeting between me as a master’s student and researcher, the project itself and the women. The article is based on a master’s project in dance pedagogy aimed at using action to change normative ideas about a dancer’s body. The artistic practice is based on the women’s lived experiences. Through improvisation and with a somatic approach as a choreographic performative practice, collaborative transformative learning emerged from the participants. By articulating and visualising the experiences of elderly women as a marginalised group, the meaning of the concepts of dance, body, and age was deconstructed and new insights were gained to challenge and broaden normative ideas about dance and the dancer’s body. The discoveries presented in this article show that elderly women have the capacity to change through dance. By using a decolonising methodology, I argue that deconstruction can be achieved in interactions with others and experienced as artistry. In conclusion, I claim that age norms and bodily ideals in contemporary dance discourses can be challenged by taking the advantage of the resources of older women and by giving them access to contemporary dance.
An analysis of coal consumption, CO2 emissions and economic growth in Slovenia
Authors: Budna Aleš , Vižintin Goran 
Published: January 2022

Abstract in English
The common characteristics and possible correlations between coal consumption, CO2 emissions, emission productivity and economic growth in Slovenia are discussed in this article. The correlation between these variables was analysed by using the Pearson correlation coefficient, and we used linear regression and the least squares method to develop predictive mathematical models that can be used to estimate trends in coal consumption and CO2 emissions in the future. The link between coal consumption, emissions, and emission productivity is significant, while the correlation between coal consumption and economic growth is minimal. Therefore, coal consumption and the resulting emissions do not have a significant impact on economic growth. Mathematical models show a good fit, which is a condition for the reliability of the prediction. Possible scenarios of the transition to carbon neutrality and the related problems of future electricity supply as a consequence of the cessation of coal mining and use are also discussed below.
Rethinking Wh-island Effects in Chinese
Authors: Yang Barry C.-Y. , Hsu Ting-ting Christina , Kikushima Kazunori 
Published: January 2022

Abstract
The traditional observation that Chinese wh-arguments do not exhibit wh-island effects may be only apparent. With new evidence from “how-many” phrases, it is demonstrated that Chinese has wh-island effects even with wh-arguments. What nullifies such effects is in fact the disguise of D-linkedness. Although the lack of wh-island effects seems to pattern Chinese wh-construals with Japanese ones, further tests show that these two languages are still different with respect to strong island effects, (anti-)crossing effects, and multiple wh-interpretations. The finding leads to the need to reinvestigate the mechanisms underlying the scope-taking wh-elements of wh-in-situ languages on the one hand, and those triggering wh-island effects on the other.

Low self-efficacy is due to the fact that the learning process only focuses on the material with rote concepts, so that students are not given the opportunity to practice self-confidence by conducting group discussions and making observations about the circulatory system so that students are less confident in their opinions, ask and answer questions. In fact, the biology learning process in schools does not encourage students to practice self-efficacy. The approach used in learning does not direct students to practice self-confidence. The purpose of this study was to determine the difference between the application of SAVI-based multiple representation and SAVI learning on self-efficacy on the material of the circulatory system in class 11th SMAN Bener Meriah.The method used is quasi-experimental, with non randomized control group pretest posttest design. The population in this study were 156 students of class 11th MIPA, amounting to 487 students, while the sample was 120 taken by purposive sampling.. The instrument used in this study is a test consisting of a self-efficacy questionnaire. Data analysis using Anova test. Results of the study show that there are differences in the self-efficacy of students who are taught using SAVI-based multiple representation learning and SAVI learning on self-efficacy on the material of the circulatory system at SMAN Bener Meriah. Conclusion: the application of SAVI-based multiple representation is effective in increasing students' self-efficacy.
Models, Plans, Clusters & Pine Trees Vila Nova de Santo André 1971-2021
Authors: Catrica Paulo , Mendes Rui 
Published: January 2022

As an odd case of urbanism Vila Nova de Santo André is the only city built from scratch in Portugal in the XX century, without any urban pre-existence. Conceived by political decision and framed by an ambitious industrial project, the Port of Sines, Vila Nova is located in an area of extensive pine forests, between Sines and Lagoa de St. André. Created in 1971 the Office of the Area of Sines (GAS) was the administrative body responsible for planning and implementing the different components of the project. Endowed with enormous expertise knowledge and economic resources, the enterprise suffered a significant setback with the 1973 international oil crisis and thereafter with the 25th April, 1974 Revolution. Political hesitations, setbacks and abandonment marked the entire Sines project until the GAS extinction in 1986.
The main intention of this essay is to confront and reposition the negativeness of Santo André new town. Perceived as a failure and a lost opportunity, the lack of knowledge that supports this prejudice stems from the absence of a critical and reflective mass, whether in the form of academic research or artistic expression. The paper intends to confront and discuss archive historical photographs from different phases of construction of the city and its surrounding landscape, with recent photographs. This visual atlas, as an unfinished, inorganic and impure edifice, join and relates the photographs as fragments. It follows the line of reasoning of Walter Benjamin on the political potential of the outmoded as a subject matter.
For today we browse

It will be difficult to understand the full impact of the digital on architecture without the internet as its privileged territory; they are, to some extent, inseparable, in the same way that it become inseparable in how architects consume and produce architecture today. Although not always organized, the internet has become architecture’s biggest archive, one made up mainly of images. Using Luca Galofaro’s montages and their dissemination as a paradigmatic example of a contemporary architectural practice that takes full advantage of the internet as a medium, this text problematizes both the conception and consequences of the digital image on the discipline.
The former, how images are consciously constructed, as a kind of graphic hupomnemata for the one who “ingests” the work of others and incorporates it into his own; the latter, the effects to be constrained to a specific medium. If one of the internet’s characteristics is the ability to support simultaneously redundant and contradictory discourses propagating the same type of content within each “niche”, how can we bypass the mashed-up state that the discipline has become? Is it possible through the fruitful use of the digital medium or are we expecting more than what it has to offer?
More than taking sides for or against the internet, perhaps we may ponder one that does not consider it in terms of exclusivity – pixel vs. paper or analogue vs. digital –, but in complementarity with each other, taking the advantages of different media in order to build a more consistent discipline, one that is able to go beyond temporary nodes of aligned interests.
Landscape transformations in Albania. A photographic survey on the traces of Italian travellers in the Balkans
Authors: Resta Giuseppe 
Published: January 2022

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire, Albania became a possible land of conquest for Italy, France, and Austria. Explorations and surveys of the newly liberated territory involved numerous scientific a nd military expeditions. At the end of the nineteenth century, the Reale Società Geografica Italiana had been carrying out a systematic study of Albanian landscape, mainly aimed at geographical research. Relevant Italian scholars and geographers travelled to Tirana and Valona. Antonio Baldacci (1867-1950) between 1892 and 1902, Roberto Almagià (1884-1962), Aldo Sestini (1904-1988) in 1940, Bruno Castiglioni (1898-1945) who recorded geomorphological aspects as an army officer following Italian troops. Two expeditions in 1940 allowed them to collect all the information needed to publish the fundamental monograph “L’Albania”, printed in 1943. Bruno Castiglioni oversaw the geomorphological aspects of the study, Ferdinando Milone covered anthropology and economics, and Aldo Sestini investigated the geographical features of each region. Another landmark contribution is Antonio Baldacci’s Itinerari albanesi: (1892-1902), which described discovering an obscure land, its natural features and the built environment.
The contribution for the sixth issue of Sophie draws on a photographic campaign carried out between July 2016 and June 2018, and currently being finalised in the form of a Catalogue of Landscape Typologies. The author c onducts a photographic c ampaign a long the s ame itineraries covered by the aforementioned geographers, discovering similarities and differences with the contemporary Albanian landscape. Manuscripts, diplomatic accounts, publications, and photographs produced by Italian travellers of the early twentieth century are being compared with the current status of the visual environment. Tourism-related activities have altered the scenery of the coast, particularly the so-called Riviera that connects Vlorë with Sarandë, while other sectors of the northern mainland have remained relatively unchanged.
This ongoing research is expected to inform a general catalogue of Albanian landscapes, intended as a tool for planning future interventions across the country. The catalogue could be a useful tool to build an alternative visual cartography. The Catalogue of Landscape Typologies collects four hundred geolocated shots of selected views, which have been classified and redrawn to identify recurring features and visual landmarks. Images are being disassembled in coherent morphological layers: woods, agricultural plains, cultivated slopes, spontaneous vegetation fields, urbanization areas, water bodies and the profile of the mountains. Contemporary Albania and other countries in the Balkans are rapidly changing the quality of its built environment in an attempt to emerge and progress towards the European standards. On the other hand, one could argue that unique views can be lost along the way.

Published: January 2022

The use of swearing expressions used by men and women indicates a difference. This difference occurs due to the stereotypes between sex and gender. In this study, the differences of language expressions used between men and women are investigated. Language expressions that are self-referenced are swear words as a form of expressing emotions. This study used a transformative mixed method and the data were taken from both main male character and female character of a film entitled "Night School". Based on these data, it is concluded that different conditions and situations affect the different types and motives of the occurrence of swear words as a form of language expression between men and women.
