Full textAbstract:
In recent years, honey bee colony losses in the Republic of Kosovo remained largely unknown. From 2019 to 2021, 81 apiaries with different disease suspicions were investigated in the framework of honey bee disease passive surveillance. Fifty-nine of the eighty-one apiaries were tested for Vairimorpha ceranae, Vairimorpha apis, trypanosomatids Lotmaria passim, and Crithidia mellificae. All samples were positive for V. ceranae (100%) whereas L. passim was found with a lower frequency (11.9%). V. apis and C. mellificae were not found. Thirteen of the eighty-one apiaries were tested for seven viruses (ABPV, CBPV, DWV, BQCV, SBV, IAPV, KBV) and five of them were found (ABPV, CBPV, DWV, BQCV, SBV). The most frequently detected viruses in honey bees and Varroa mites were DWV (100%) followed by BQCV, ABPV, SBV, and CBPV (92.3%, 69.2%, 30.8%, and 7.7%, respectively). Varroa mite samples had different degrees of co-infection by viruses. Nine of the eighty-one apiaries consisted of brood combs with larvae, eight of them were AFB positive, ERIC I genotype, and one EFB positive. This paper represents the first molecular investigation (PCR) and detection of the honey bee viruses ABPV, CBPV, DWV, BQCV, and SBV as well as V. ceranae, L. passim, and M. plutonius in the Republic of Kosovo.

Full textAbstract:
This paper revisits the status prospects for Taiwan in light of recent events in Kosovo and Tibet. In both cases, and certainly in Taiwan itself, the long standing contest between claims for self determination and the tenacious defence of the principle of the territorial integrity of states has emerged once again to dominate the analysis of these cases. This contest is particularly dramatic in the divided international response to the independence of Kosovo. In the case of Tibet, widespread international support for Tibet is in sharp contrast to the furious and determined resistance of China. Taiwan’s anomalous status remains that of a legal sovereign state, the Republic of China, enjoying some measure of recognition and formal diplomacy and a de facto state whose international relations are confined to paradiplomatic channels, extensive though they are. The paper considers the prospects for changes in the current anomalous status of the island state.

"The Effect of Six Weeks of Resistance Training with Active and Passive Rest with and without Blood Flow Restriction on CRP, LDH and Muscular Endurance of Young men." Journal of Arak University Medical Sciences 24, no. 5 (March 6, 2022): 2. http://dx.doi.org/10.32598/jams.24.5.6052.1.
Full textAbstract:
Background and Aim: Resistance training with blood flow restriction can have the same effects as traditional resistance training. The purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of six weeks of selected resistance training with active and passive rest, with and without blood flow restriction on CRP, LDH and muscle endurance of young men. Methods: From the available and voluntary samples, 24 healthy young soldiers of the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force were divided into 3 groups of 8 subjects: traditional resistance training, resistance training with blood flow restriction and passive rest and resistance training with blood flow restriction and active rest. Exercise programs were performed for 6 weeks, 3 sessions per week with intensity of 70-80% RM1 for traditional resistance group (3 sets of 10), 20-30% 1RM for Passive rest group (30-15-15-15) and 20 -30% 1RM was administered for the active rest group (30-7-15-7-15). Before and after six weeks physiological and anthropometric characteristics, muscle endurance and hormonal levels were measured and blood samples were measured by ELISA. Data were analyzed using covariance and Bonferroni post hoc tests and paired t-test for comparison within groups. Ethical Considerations: All experimental procedures were approved by the Ethics committee of Sport Sciences Research Institute of Iran with code IR.SSRC.REC.1398.129, Clinical Trial Code ID IRCT20191207045644N1 from Iran Clinical Trial Registration Center and were conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Findings: Results showed that 6 weeks of exercise had a significant effect on Muscle endurance (p = 0.001) but on the levels of C-reactive protein (p = 0.43) and Lactate dehydrogenase (p = 0.44) had no significant difference. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it seems that combination of resistance training with restriction of blood flow and Interval training (active rest) can be a good alternative to traditional training and in some cases replace resistance training with occlusion and passive rest.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractConstitutional courts play an essential role in authoritatively interpreting constitutions. Oftentimes they go beyond the constitutional text by inventing so-called judge-made law. Their authority to interpret the text covers not only substantive parts but also the clause authorizing their jurisdiction. Such power, namely the power to interpret the limits of their jurisdiction, is often used to intervene in the interpretation of the constitution more vigorously than explicitly authorized. One example is the invention, designation, and development of the advisory jurisdiction by the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Kosovo. On that basis, the Court has, for almost ten years of its existence, pronounced on numerous fundamental issues relating to the governing system, power maps, and entitlements on political authority. The Court developed its advisory jurisdiction in a rather unpredictable and impulsive fashion; however, it steadily revealed its willingness to engage with interpretations that sought to resolve high-stakes issues. Such braveness also had a credibility cost for the Court. The year 2018 marked a major shift in the Court’s interpretation of its own jurisdiction to “advise.” In the Central Election Commission case, it abandoned its previous precedent and commenced a passive, restrained attitude in engaging with the constitutional interpretation on the basis of case or controversy. This Article analyzes the Court’s path and change of course in this cycle.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Background The second largest Ebola epidemic in history is currently raging in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Stubbornly persistent Ebola transmission has been associated with social resistance, ranging from passive noncompliance to overt acts of aggression toward Ebola response teams. Methods We explored community resistance using focus group discussions and assessed the prevalence of resistant views using standardized questionnaires. Results Despite being generally cooperative and appreciative of the foreign-led Ebola response, focus group participants provided eyewitness accounts of aggressive resistance to control efforts, consistent with recent media reports. Mistrust of Ebola response teams was fueled by perceived inadequacies of the response effort (“herd medicine”), suspicion of mercenary motives, and violation of cultural burial mores (“makeshift plastic morgue”). Survey questionnaires found that the majority of respondents had compliant attitudes with respect to Ebola control. Nonetheless, 78/630 (12%) respondents believed that Ebola was fabricated and did not exist in the area, 482/630 (72%) were dissatisfied with or mistrustful of the Ebola response, 60/630 (9%) sympathized with perpetrators of overt hostility, and 102/630 (15%) expressed noncompliant intentions in the case of Ebola illness or death in a family member, including hiding from the health authorities, touching the body, or refusing an official burial team. Denial of the biomedical discourse and dissatisfaction/mistrust of the Ebola response were statistically significantly associated with indicators of social resistance. Conclusion We concluded that social resistance to Ebola control efforts was prevalent among focus group and survey participants. Mistrust, with deep political and historical roots in this area besieged by chronic violence and neglected by the outside world, may fuel social resistance. Resistant attitudes may be refractory to short-lived community engagement efforts targeting the epidemic but not the broader humanitarian crisis in Eastern DRC.

Full textAbstract:
Sunflower plants show pronounced allelopathic traits and represent a suitable base for potential scientific research work. Understanding and exploiting precisely of that potential could greatly reduce the use of chemical products for plant protection that are intensively used in the production technology of this crop. Today, a big effort is made in sunflower breeding in order to produce the resistance to the economically most important pathogens, which are in most cases phytopathogenic fungi and parasitic weeds such as broomrape. Since sunflower is an increasingly popular crop within farmer fields in the Republic of Serbia, an overview of so far known, passive and active defense mechanisms, that are key for the crop resistance creating, is given. The study also describes in detail, the interactions among the most harmful fungal pathogens and sunflower plants, the expression of genes caused by their attack, and the production of metabolites that are crucial for the induced defense formation.

Full textAbstract:
Chronic low back pain (CLBP) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders worldwide with far-reaching implications for social, economic, and public health. The study aimed to compare the effect of combined physiotherapy treatment in patients with CLBP. This observational retrospective randomized controlled study involved reviewing medical records of patients who were treated during a period of 6 weeks in the physiotherapy department of the Special Hospital for General Rehabilitation “Banja e Kllokotit,” Kllokot, Republic of Kosovo. The observational research was conducted for 60 patients, divided into two groups: Group 1: experimental group (n=30), with mean age of 41.7 years, average height of 1.68 cm, and average body mass index (BMI) of 71.7 for both sexes; Group 2: control group (n=30) with mean age of 43.1 years, average height of 1.66 cm, and average body mass index (BMI) of 71.5 for both sexes. In Group 1, combined treatment with passive therapy [thermotherapy and transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS)], physical exercises, lumbar traction, and walking program was applied, while in Group 2, passive therapy like thermotherapy and TENS was applied. Outcome measurements included pain intensity, lumbar flexibility, revised Oswestry disability index (ODI), and self-confidence, which were assessed pre-treatment, at 3 weeks, and after 6 weeks of clinical treatment. The results showed significant improvement in both groups. However, the improvement was greater and with a significant difference only after 6 weeks in Group 1 compared to Group 2. The differences were observed in various outcome measures, including the visual analog scale for pain (VAS; p<0.0001), fingertip-to-floor distance (FTF; p<0.0001), ODI (p<0.0001), and Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSE; p=0.0002). According to our data, combined treatment with thermotherapy, therapeutic exercises, lumbar traction, TENS, and walking program was more effective and can be considered as a treatment protocol for patients with CLBP. However, further research is recommended on the efficacy of combined physiotherapy treatment, especially lumbar traction for longer periods.

Full textAbstract:
The security crisis, in a broader sense, which is noticeable on a national, regional and planetary level, is an incentive for science to highlight problems and generate proposals for establishing balance in society. The challenges facing the Republic of Serbia will not be eliminated by the passive attitude of the state in the face of the ramifications of socially dangerous phenomena. In this direction, one of the most destructive destructive phenomena is corruption. Qualified as a serious crime, corruption causes the breakdown of society, intolerance towards eradication, creating resistance to defining action plans for its neutralization. The strategic plan at the national level requires the formation of a steel working group in a silk suit, conspiratorial action in its detection, prevention and elimination as a phenomenon.

Full textAbstract:
The main cause of demonstrations was Vojvodina leadership's persistent refusal to accept changes to the Constitution that would confirm the sovereignty of Serbia in its autonomous provinces. After Slobodan Milosevic rose to power, the Serbian authorities developed two different policies regarding autonomous provinces. In case of Vojvodina, the main emphasis was on using the lack of democratic capacity and legitimacy of the leadership in Vojvodina, while leadership of Kosovo was the subject of party pressure through the League of Communists of Yugoslavia. Leadership of Vojvodina, which has been decisively and confidently rejecting any thought in which Vojvodina could be politically subordinated to the Republic, was confused by the July and August demonstrations. In absence of finding an adequate response to the new situation, leadership remained passive, which ultimately led to complete paralysis of Vojvodina government. The confusion and passiveness of the main Vojvodina communists during the summer and autumn of 1988. indicates that demonstrations hit their weakest point - democratic capacity. It turned out that the stern attitude of Vojvodina Communists towards Serbia was not supported by the population of Vojvodina, and that the province government policy was not legitimate.. Second key factor in the Anti-bureaucratic revolution in Vojvodina was the influence of media, which was controlled by the Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic. The anti-bureaucratic revolution in Vojvodina represents a historical phenomenon of a unique kind, which at the same time contains the elements of the Revolutions of 1989, in which Eastern European regimes were down due to the lack of their own legitimacy and under the burst of the popular rebellion, as well as elements of the "Cultural Revolution" in China, when the most powerful man of the party used and manipulated national dissatisfaction in order to remove political opponents and reduce the influence of competitive fractions in the party.

Full textAbstract:
To improve the quality of pre-sowing soil tillage in the Republic of Tatarstan, a tillage implement has been developed, which, unlike other designs, contains a helical spiral and needle ellipsoid disks coaxially mounted on a horizontal shaft. Passive helix creates a compacted seed bed at the depth of seed placement; needle ellipsoidal disks are active and provide mulching of the surface soil layer. A preliminary analysis of the processes of interaction of the working unit with the soil is possible on the basis of the parametric equations of motion of individual points of the cutting edges of the helical spiral, as well as expressions for determining their speeds and accelerations. The design parameters selected during the calculation and design of the proposed rotary combined tool should ensure that the helical spiral enters the soil with sliding. Otherwise, the traction resistance of the unit increases. To justify the basic design parameters of a spiral-screw working unit, preliminary construction of theoretical dependences is also necessary. According to the calculation results, the points of the cutting edge of the helical spiral make a complex movement in space when the gun moves. The components of the speed and acceleration of these points are variable parameters, which contributes to the active crumbling of the soil and the destruction of its lumps. The optimal design parameters of the working unit of the gun: the diameter of the helical spiral is 0.470 m; the angle of inclination of the helical spiral (the angle of the helix) - 10 ° ... 25 °; the angle of inclination of the large side of the strip to the generatrix of the cylindrical surface that describes the helical spiral is 25 ° ... 30 °

Abstract Carl Mierendorff, a young Social Democrat (SPD) member of the Reichstag and later member of the Resistance, wrote regular discussions of National Socialism for the journal Sozialistische Monatshefte during the years 1930 to 1933. Critical both of the SPD’s policy of ‘toleration’ of Chancellor Bruning, which he regarded as overly passive, and of calls for a ‘Popular Front’, which he believed were based on an illusory belief in the potential for cooperation between the SPD and the Communists, Mierendorff argued that the only way to defeat Hitler was for the Republic to register political successes itself This was rooted in hisperceptive recognition that National Socialism's success was not merely a product of economic protest votes, but was made possible as a result of a deeper-seated political crisis of democracy itself.

Full textAbstract:
This essay examines the process of national-cultural construction among the Ukrainians and Belarusians of Russia, analyzes the goals, methods, and results of the policy of Ukrainization/ Belarusization of schools and cultural and educational institutions in the territory of the RSFSR. A comparative-historical analysis of two variants of the Soviet policy of korenization is presented. Against the background of a comparison of Ukrainization and Belarusization in the RSFSR, the general patterns and distinctive features that were inherent in the Soviet national and language policy in its regional dimension are revealed. As shown in the essay, very often the conversion of schools into Ukrainian/Belarusian met with resistance from the local population itself. The national literary language was not familiar to them and was often perceived as alien and incomprehensible. There was a situation in which the language that was not used in everyday life was studied in schools, since Russian was used in all state and public institutions. At the same time, all the main social groups of the Ukrainian and Belarusian population of the RSFSR were fluent in Russian. Therefore, measures for the Ukrainization/Belarusization of schools met with deaf resistance, and at best with an indifferent and passive attitude on the part of local Ukrainians and Belarusians. This contradiction accompanied the policy of Ukrainization/Belarusization at all stages of implementation and ultimately affected its effectiveness and efficiency.
