Abstract
This study aims to design vehicle routes based on cost minimisation and the minimisation of greenhouse gasses (GHG) emissions to help companies solve the vehicle routing problem with pickup and delivery (VRPPD) via particle swarm optimisation (PSO). An effective metaheuristics search technique called particle swarm optimisation (PSO) was applied to design the optimal route for these problems. Simulated data from Li and Lim (2001) were used to evaluate the PSO performance for solving green vehicle routing problems with pickup and delivery (Green VRPPD). The findings suggest that green vehicle routing problems with pickup and delivery should be used when distributing products to customers living in a specific area called a cluster. However, the design of vehicle routes by Green VRPPD costs more when used to distribute products to customers living randomly in a coverage service area. When logistics providers decide to use Green VRPPD instead of VRPPD, they need to be concerned about possible higher costs if an increase in the number of vehicles is needed. PSO has been confirmed for solving VRPPD effectively. The study compared the results based on the use of two different objective functions with fuel consumption from diesel and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). It indicates that solving VRPPD by considering the emissions of direct greenhouse gases as an objective function provides cleaner routes, rather than considering total cost as the objective function for all test cases. However, as Green VRPPD requires more vehicles and longer travel distances, this requires a greater total cost than considering the total cost as the objective function. Considering the types of fuels used, it is obvious that LPG is more environmentally friendly than diesel by up to 53.61 %. This paper should be of interest to a broad readership, including those concerned with vehicle routing problems, transportation, logistics, and environmental management. The findings suggest that green vehicle routing problems with pickup and delivery should be used when distributing products to a cluster. However, the design of vehicle routes by Green VRPPD costs more when used to distribute products to customers living randomly in a coverage service area. When logistics providers decide to use Green VRPPD instead of VRPPD, they need to be concerned about possible higher costs if an increase in the number of vehicles is needed.
Long-term trend of electric vehicle sales in Thailand
Authors: Chinda Thanwadee 
Published: April 2022

AbstractThis research study aims at examining the long-term trend of EV sales in Thailand, utilising the system dynamics (SD) modelling approach. This approach is commonly used to model complex systems with causal relationships among key factors within the system. The developed SD model consists of five key factors affecting electric vehicle (EV) sales, namely, the environment, economy, charging infrastructure, government support, and battery maintenance. The simulation results show the increase in EV sales by ten times in the next 20 years with implementation plans related to the five key factors. The government support factor is the most important in enhancing EV sales in the short term. Several government support plans should be initiated to attract more EV consumers, such as subsidies and tax reductions. The environment and charging infrastructure factors are crucial to increasing EV sales in the long term. The enforcement of the CO2tax and the provision of charging stations all around the country should be established to achieve a sustainable EV market in the long term. This research study contributes to the Thai government and automotive industry to better understand the complex relationships among key factors affecting EV sales. The related sectors may use the study results to plan for EV campaigns to promote the use of EVs and achieve a sustainable EV market.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Supply chain activity control is an essential part of Supply Chain Management (SCM), ensuring compliance with customer requirements. This paper presents a case study into the control of SCM activities. The study analysed two areas involving two different SC links associated with order picking, and outsourced truck freights, respectively. The studied company had problems with these links. An approach based on developing a KPI (Key Performance Indicator) was proposed to address the issues. Consequently, different affected processes were analysed and characterised, considering the relevant data for defining a KPI. Then, strategies and methods were devised for data collection and processing regarding the system’s current state. Finally, tools were designed to facilitate the interpretation of the system’s current state and thus, pave the way for the decision-making process on corrective measures.
Study on Potential Role and Benefits of Liquified Natural Gas Import Terminal in Latvia

Abstract
Natural gas is relatively clean energy source, which emits less greenhouse gases (hereinafter – GHG), compared to other fossil fuels, such as hard and brown coal, and therefore it may be the most feasible resource to ensure smooth energy transition towards Europe’s climate neutrality by 2050. Traditional natural gas can be easily transported and used in liquefied (hereinafter – LNG) or compressed form. As for biomethane, in future it also can be used in liquefied (hereinafter – bioLNG) and compressed form, as well as transported by means of the current natural gas infrastructure. It can also significantly enhance regional and national energy security and independence, which has been challenging for the European Union (hereinafter – EU) over at least several decades.
Issue on energy independence, security of supply, alternative natural gas sources has been in a hotspot of the Baltic energy policy makers as well. Now, considering Russia’s invasion in Ukraine, since late February 2022, a problem of the EU natural gas dependency on the Russian Federation has escalated again and with force never before experienced. The European natural gas prices also hit records, as the natural gas prices in the Netherlands Title Transfer Facility reached 345 euros per megawatt-hour (hereinafter – EUR/MWh) in March 2022.
Therefore, LNG import terminal is the only viable option to reduce national dependency of the so-called pipe gas which in some cases, due to the insufficient interconnections, may be delivered from very limited number of sources. The European policy makers and relevant institutions are currently working towards radical EU natural gas supply diversification, where LNG deliveries coming from outside of Russia will certainly take a central stage.
In case of Latvia, the potential benefits of the LNG terminal development in Skulte were evaluated in order to reduce energy independence of the Russian natural gas deliveries in the Baltic region and to introduce new ways and sources of the natural gas flows to the Baltics. LNG terminal in Skulte could ensure significant capital investment cost reduction comparing to other projects proposed for Latvia in different periods, due to already existing natural gas transmission infrastructure and the relative closeness to the Incukalns underground gas storage (hereinafter – UGS). Various aspects, such as technical, political and economic ones, were analysed to assure that Skulte LNG terminal would be a real asset not only to customers of Latvia, but also to those of the whole Baltic region, where in future it would be possible to use biomethane for efficient utilisation of existing and developing natural gas infrastructure.

Abstract
In information security systems, the algorithm of the Blum-Blum-Shub (BBS) generator, which is based on the use of a one-way function and is a cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator, became widespread. In this paper, the problem of the analysis of modified algorithms of the BBS generator operation is considered to improve their statistical characteristics, namely, the sequence repetition period. It has been established that in order to improve the characteristics of the classic BBS algorithm, it is necessary to systematize approaches to change the recurrent equation itself, the relationship between the current and the previous members of the sequence. For this purpose, a generalized unified model of the modification of the classical BBS algorithm is derived. The repetition period with computational complexity were analyzed for classical algorithm and 80 proposed modifications. A gain in statistical characteristics is improved with slight increase in the required computing power of the system. The proposed modified BBS pseudorandom sequence generator can be used in training of students when teaching cryptographic stability of information security systems. The study of this generator combines the knowledge of students acquired in both digital electronics and mathematics.

Published: April 2022

Abstract
Theatre is one of the higher cultural activities that characterise us as imaginative, creative and truly human. In general, theatre is an arena in which participants can mentally play, acting out their own fears and fantasies in an experimental way.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the psychological personal characteristics, using the MMPI questionnaire, applied in a sample of Macedonian professional actors.
MMPI is used as an older form of the questionnaire, standardised in ex-Yugoslavia, and then translated into Macedonian. This is all done with a computer.
This research confirms that our (Macedonian) contemporary actors are normal people who function normally in everyday life and generally do not deviate from what in the psychology of personality are denotes as normal/abnormal. Small exceptions are still a rarity!
Some indexes of interest are included in this analysis of personal characteristics of actors.
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases in Renal Transplantat Recipients: A Case Series and Review of the Literature
Authors: Vrus Jakob , Jukić Nikolina Bašić 
Published: April 2022

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases are autoimmune disorders affecting the gastrointestinal tract and producing a wide variety of extraintestinal manifestations. Kidneys are a rare target organ of their extraintestinal activity, but if affected, renal function could deteriorate to end-stage kidney disease, which is curable only by organ transplantation. Renal calculi are the most common pathological kidney manifestation in IBD patients, followed by tubulointerstitial nephritis, glomerulonephritis, and other kidney pathologies.
The liver is the most commonly transplanted organ in IBD patients (primary sclerosing cholangitis and autoimmune hepatitis), and a scarcity of literature on kidney recipients is present to date regarding the incidence of renal insufficiency, kidney transplantations, post-transplant IBD course and further complications such as graft rejection or infections in this specific group of patients. De novo IBD is a paradoxical entity in the setting of rigorous post-transplant immunosuppression.
In this case series, we present three patients who underwent kidney transplantation with a history of an IBD and one patient who developed de novo Crohn’s disease after the deceased donor organ transplant was performed.

Abstract
Continuous peripheral nerve block, also known as “local anesthetic perineural infusion,” refers to percutaneous placement of a catheter near a peripheral nerve or plexus followed by administration of a local anesthetic through a catheter to provide anesthesia, or analgesia for several days, in some cases even for a month.
This report describes the case of a 7 year old boy with left elbow contracture with limited flexion and extension who was admitted to the Clinic of Pediatric Surgery for redressment of the elbow and physical therapy. An ultrasound-guided axillary brachial plexus block was performed, with placement of a non-tunneled perineural catheter. Redressment of the left elbow was performed twice and before each redressment boluses of local anesthetic were applied through the perineural catheter. Physical therapy was performed painlessly with continuous perineural infusion. On the 5th day of catheter placement, the perineural catheter was removed without any prior complications such as hematoma, infection, catheter dislocation or leakage of local anesthetic.
Our goal is to minimize the psychological and physical trauma to the patient, no matter how immature the patient is. Continuous regional anesthesia in children is a safe technique in postoperative pain management that facilitates early mobilization due to its sufficient analgesia and better comfort. It can provide in-home treatment, with adequate education for patients and parents, and improve rehabilitation in children.

Published: April 2022

Di era modern sekarang developer dalam melakukan penjualan lebih banyak menggunakan sistem pre project selling yang mana developer mulai menjual sebelum proyek dibangun dimana property yang dijual tersebut masih baru berupa gambar atau konsep akan tetapi diperjalanan transaksi dengan sistem tersebut banyak hak-hak konsumen yang dilanggar pelaku usaha. Berdasarkan hal tersebut penulis membahas permasalahan hak-hak konsumen yang dilanggar dan upaya pemulihan hak konsumen Darwin berdasarkan Putusan Mahkamah Agung Nomor 653 K/Pdt.Sus-BPSK/2021. Metode penulisan skripsi ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum yuridis normatif dengan menggunakan data sekunder yang terdiri dari bahan hukum primer, bahan hukum sekunder, dan bahan hukum tersier yang dikumpulkan dengan metode studi pustaka. Penulis menyimpulkan adanya ketidaksesuaian transaksi antara Darwin dan PT Buana Cipta Propertindo sehingga melanggar hak-hak konsumen sebagaimana Undang-Undang nomor 8 tahun 1999 tentang Perlindungan Konsumen dan peraturan perundang-undangan di bidang perumahan. Penulis juga menilai Putusan Mahkamah Agung yang membatalkan putusan BPSK dan Pengadilan Negeri Batam tersebut tidak mendukung upaya pemulihan hak konsumen dan tidak mengakomodir Undang-Undang Perlindungan Konsumen karena seharusnya BPSK dapatdan berwenang memeriksa sengketa Darwin dan PT Buana Cipta Propertindo yang didasari oleh perjanjian.

Authors: Karasudani Kazuho , Ito Yoshiro , Muroi Ai , Sato Masayuki , Marushima Aiki , Hayakawa Mikito , Matsumaru Yuji , Ishikawa Eiichi 
Published: April 2022

Background:
Vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia (VBD) is a vasculopathy characterized by the elongation, widening, and tortuosity of a cerebral artery. Rarely, hydrocephalus results when the extended basilar artery impairs communication of the cerebral ventricle and cerebrospinal fluid dynamics. We experienced such a case when a patient underwent endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) for noncommunicating hydrocephalus with VBD.

Case Description:
A 54-year-old man presented with cognitive dysfunction and was diagnosed with VBD by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Seven years later, he exhibited subacute impaired consciousness due to acute noncommunicating hydrocephalus, undergoing external ventricular drainage (EVD) that improved consciousness. After EVD removal, the noncommunicating hydrocephalus did not recur; however, 7 months later, subacute consciousness impairment due to noncommunicating hydrocephalus was again observed. MRI showed a significant dilation of both lateral ventricles and ballooning of the third ventricle while the right posterior cerebral artery shifted slightly posteriorly. The patient underwent ETV and clinical symptoms improved. One year after the treatment, MRI observed a patent ETV fenestration and no deleterious changes in clinical symptoms were observed.

Conclusion:
ETV can be an effective treatment for the noncommunicating hydrocephalus with VBD when performed with preoperative assessment of vascular anatomy and attention to vascular injury.
Memory and executive functioning outcomes of selective amygdalohippocampectomy in patients with hippocampal sclerosis: A preliminary study in a developing country

Published: April 2022

Background:
Selective amygdalohippocampectomy (SA) is an effective treatment for drug-resistant cases of epilepsy due to hippocampal sclerosis (HS). However, its neurocognitive outcomes are inconsistent across the previous studies, pointing to potential location-specific confounders. Here, we investigated the neurocognitive outcomes of SA in an Iranian center recently adopting this approach.

Methods:
Thirty adults (53.3% of females, age 31.4 ± 6.2 years) with drug-resistant epilepsy due to HS were included in the study. Patients were stratified into surgical (n = 15) and medical (n = 15) treatment groups based on their preferences. Neurocognitive function was assessed before and 6 months after intervention using Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised, and Wechsler Memory Scale- Third Edition (WMS-III). Postintervention performance changes were compared between the two groups, and predictors of worse postoperative outcomes were investigated.

Results:
Longitudinal changes of performance in WMS-III and WCST were significantly different between the surgically and medically treated patients. Postoperative WMS-III performance showed an average 25% decline (mean ∆T2-T1 = –25.1%, T = –6.6, P < 0.001), and WCST performance improved by an average of 49% (mean ∆T2-T1 = +49.1%, T = 4.6, P < 0.001). The decline in memory performance was more severe in the left-sided surgery and in patients with higher baseline education (mean ∆T2-T1 = –31.1%, T = –8.9, P < 0.001).

Conclusion:
In our center, executive functioning improved or remained stable after SA, but memory functions declined moderately. The left-sided SA and higher education were associated with more severe decline in memory functions, highlighting the need for special considerations for these groups.
