The objective of our study was to evaluate vitamin D status and its predictors in Slovenian premenopausal and postmenopausal women. A cross-sectional study was carried out between 1 March 2021 and 31 May 2021. A total of 319 healthy women from the Central Slovenian region aged between 44 and 65 were recruited; 176 were included in the final analysis. The vitamin D status was determined by measuring the total 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol (25(OH)D) concentration, vitamin D binding protein (DBP), and albumin and calculating the bioavailable 25(OH)D and free 25(OH)D. For the calculation of bioavailable and free 25(OH)D, we developed a new online calculator. The Endocrine Society’s thresholds for vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were used; 29.0% of premenopausal and 24.4% of postmenopausal subjects were found to be vitamin D deficient (total 25(OH)D < 50 nmol/L); 76.8% of the premenopausal and 61.7% of postmenopausal subjects were found to have insufficient levels (total 25(OH)D < 75 nmol/L). Premenopausal women had 11.8% lower total 25(OH)D, 32.2% lower bioavailable 25(OH)D, and 25.2% higher DBP than postmenopausal women. The most important predictors of vitamin D status were vitamin D supplementation and time spent in the sun. Contrary to similar studies, the vitamin D status in Slovenian postmenopausal women was significantly better than in premenopausal women. In postmenopausal women, the measurement of free or bioavailable 25(OH)D instead of the total 25(OH)D could be advantageous. Nasl. z nasl. zaslona. Opis vira z dne 16. 12. 2022. Št. članka: 5349.

This article calls for greater attention to immigration attitudes of members of national parliaments (MPs) who absent harmonized immigration policy at the EU level remain the chief decision-makers and are thus responsible for swift government reaction to large influx of immigrants as witnessed in summer 2015 and spring 2020. Against this background, attitudes of MPs toward non-EU immigrants can be highly informative for understanding the foundation and direction of future immigration policy reforms. Although knowledge of MPs immigration attitudes is seemingly important, studies interested in this topic remain scarce. To test the relative importance of identity and economic aspects of MPs' immigration attitudes, this study adopts few well-established theoretical approaches from citizen-level research. Our data come from an MP survey that was administered in 11 Western and Eastern European countries in late 2014 as part of the European National Elites and the Crisis project. Our results suggest that social identity (religiosity) along with political ideology rather than economic concerns drive MPs' immigration attitudes. In addition, we find that in Eastern Europe immigration is only a light force behind political competition unlike in Western Europe, while economic left in Eastern Europe is more anti-immigrant than in Western Europe.

Jabuke su često nazivane kraljicom voća zbog svog nutritivnog sastava. Dominiraju vitaminima, mineralima te polifenolima. Imaju visok sadržaj vode zbog čega, usred nepravilnog rukovanja prilikom branja i tijekom skladištenja, često podlegnu infekciji sa plijesni Penicillium expansum. Ova plijesan osim što uništava tkivo jabuke, proizvodi patulin koji toksično djeluje na stanice biljaka i životinja. Biosinteza patulina ovisi o mnogo uvjeta, temperaturi, pH, aktivitetu vode itd. Postoje mnoge metode za određivanje mikotoksina, no za detekciju patulina najboljima su se pokazale analitičke kromatografske metode. Cilj ovog rada bio je odrediti koncentraciju patulina u tradicionalnim i komercijalnim sortama jabuka nakon berbe. Koncentracija patulina mjerena je pomoću validirane UHPLC-MS/MS metode.

The pandemic caused by the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) affected a disproportionately high percentage of healthcare workers (HCWs). The aim of the study was to assess the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2-specific IgG antibodies in nurses and clinicians working in 2 Slovenian regional hospitals, and to identify the factors associated with seropositivity.The study was designed as a crosssectional study. Clinicians and nurses were invited to participate in November-December 2020. The respondents (813, 65.8%) completed a questionnaire and consented to provide 10 ml of blood for determining the presence of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies.The authors observed a seroprevalence rate of 20.4%. The results of the univariate analysis proved that the age of a nurse or clinician was the factor most strongly associated with seropositivity - in fact, the youngest nurses and clinicians were 8.33 times more likely to be seropositive than those in the oldest age group (p = 0.041). Being in contact with a family/household member who was SARS-CoV-2-positive was also a very important factor. In the work-related factors group, being in the contact with a SARS-CoV-2-positive colleague (OR = 2.35, p = 0.026) or being in contact with a COVID-19 patient (OR = 1.96, p = 0.004) correlated with seropositivity. In the primary work location/department group, the only significant association appeared among those working in surgical, ENT or ophthalmology departments. The results of the multivariate analysis further supported the thesis that the age of nurses and clinicians was the factor most strongly associated with seropositivity. The youngest nurses and clinicians were 12.5 times more likely to be seropositive than those in the oldest age group (p = 0.024). Being in contact with a SARS-CoV-2-positive family/household member remained the second most important factor.A significant number of clinicians and nurses working in secondary healthcare were infected in the first 9 months of the pandemic.

Praćenje igrača u sportskom videu korisno je za analizu strategije i kretanja istih, te služi kao svojevrsni izazov znanstvenoj zajednici koji se odluče baviti njim. Uzeli smo pristup praćenja po detekciji zato što je intuitivan i učinkovit. Za algoritam praćenja odabrali smo DeepSORT, a za detektore YOLO v4 i njegovu manju varijantu, YOLO v4-tiny, koja je pogodnija za izvedbu u stvarnom vremenu. Naučili smo mreže na podacima nogometnih utakmica i prate 3 klase: igrača, vratara i suca. Na našoj lokalnoj konfiguraciji, praćenje s prilagođenom YOLO v4 mrežom je prosječne brzine 5 okvira po sekundi, a MOTA i MOTP mjere na ispitnom videu su 62.9% i 32.3% respektivno. Modificirana YOLO v4-tiny varijanta izvršava se brzinom od 10 okvira po sekundi i na ispitnom je videu MOTA 46.5%, a MOTP 33.3%. Uzevši ubrzanje objekata u obzir prilikom računanja, uspjeli smo malo poboljšati rezultate DeepSORT-a. YOLO v4 mreža pokazuje robusnost na smetnje poput sakrivanja zbog svoje visoke preciznosti, dok tiny varijanta pruža bolje sučelje za pokretne sustave kod kojih je preciznost manje važna. Tracking players in sports videos is useful for motion and strategy analysis and is a challenge on its own. For this paper, we chose the tracking-by-detection approach as it is intuitive and effective. For tracking, we chose DeepSORT, one of the most prominent trackers today. For detection, we chose two detectors: YOLO v4, which is more complex and robust; and YOLO v4-tiny, which is better for detection in real-time. We trained the networks to discern between 3 classes: player, goalkeeper, and referee. At 5 FPS on our local machine, tracking with our custom YOLO v4 network gets a MOTA score of 62.9% and a MOTP score of 32.3%. Our custom YOLOv4-tiny, while performing tracking at 10 FPS, gets a MOTA score of 46.5% and a MOTP of 33.3%. When taking object acceleration into consideration, we have managed to slightly improve DeepSORT results. Each of these networks is suitable for its intended purpose: YOLO v4 is shown to be noise-resistant due to its high precision and recall, whereas YOLO v4-tiny is fast and would be a viable application for mobile systems that are more forgiving of detection errors.

Introduction Systemic allergic reaction (SAR) to a Hymenoptera venom is a potentially life-threatening disorder. The rate of SAR between beekeepers in comparison with a healthy individual is different. The risk for an SAR is particularly high in beekeepers due to their persistent or seasonal exposure to the stinging Hymenoptera. We aim to provide a critical appraisal and a synthesis of evidence-based data from epidemiological observational studies, focusing on SARs to a Hymenoptera venom and the associated risk factors for SARs in beekeepers worldwide. Methods and analysis Searching will include seven electronic databases for published studies without language restrictions, from inception up to 3 August 2021, and it will be rerun for all electronic databases prior publication. Only epidemiological observational studies in beekeepers will be included. The risk of bias in the included studies will be appraised by using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist for Analytical Cross-Sectional Studies and the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, adapted for cross-sectional studies. For the certainty of evidence, the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation approach will be used. Qualitative synthesis will be presented in a tabulated format with the selected characteristics across primary studies and the main outcome of interest. A meta-analysis is planned to be performed if there will be a sufficient number of homogeneous studies with complete data. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocols 2015 statement will guide the reporting of this systematic literature review. Ethics and dissemination No ethics approval is needed to conduct the systematic literature review since it will be solely based on the published literature. Findings will be disseminated through the relevant conferences, peer-review and open-access journals.

We find that the measured fluctuations are in good agreement with predictions from air shower simulations. This observation provides new insights into the origin of the previously reported deficit of muons in air shower simulations and constrains models of hadronic interactions at ultrahigh energies. Our measurement is compatible with the muon deficit originating from small deviations in the predictions from hadronic interaction models of particle production that accumulate as the showers develop., Argentina-Comision Nacional de Energia Atomica, ANPCyT, Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Cientificas y Tecnicas (CONICET), Gobierno de la Provincia de Mendoza, Municipalidad de Malargue, NDM Holdings, Valle Las Lenas, Australian Research Council, Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Cientifico e Tecnologico (CNPQ), Fundacao de Apoio a Pesquisa do Distrito Federal (FAPDF), Financiadora de Inovacao e Pesquisa (Finep), Fundacao Carlos Chagas Filho de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado do Rio De Janeiro (FAPERJ), Fundacao de Amparo a Pesquisa do Estado de Sao Paulo (FAPESP) 2019/10151-2 2010/07359-6 1999/05404-3, Ministerio da Ciencia, Tecnologia, Inovacoes e Comunicacoes (MCTIC), Ministry of Education, Youth & Sports - Czech Republic MSMT CR LTT18004 LM2015038 LM2018102 CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/16_013/0001402 CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/18_046/0016010 CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/17_049/0008422, France-Centre de Calcul IN2P3/CNRS, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Region Ile-de-France, Departement Sciences de l'Univers (SDU-INSU/CNRS), French National Research Agency (ANR) LABEX ANR-10-LABX-63 ANR11-IDEX-0004-02, Federal Ministry of Education & Research (BMBF), German Research Foundation (DFG), Finanzministerium Baden-Wurttemberg, Helmholtz Alliance for Astroparticle Physics (HAP), Helmholtz Association, Ministerium fur Innovation, Wissenschaft und Forschung des Landes Nordrhein-Westfalen, Ministerium fur Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst des Landes Baden-Wurttemberg, Italy-Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Istituto Nazionale Astrofisica (INAF), Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR), CETEMPS Center of Excellence, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation (Italy), Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnologia (CONACyT) 167733, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico (UNAM), PAPIIT DGAPA-UNAM, Netherlands-Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO), Dutch national e-infrastructure, SURF Cooperative, Poland-Ministry of Science and Higher Education DIR/WK/2018/11, National Science Centre, Poland 2013/08/M/ST9/00322 2016/23/B/ST9/01635 HARMONIA 5-2013/10/M/ST9/00062 UMO-2016/22/M/ST9/00198, Portugal -Portuguese national funds, FEDER funds within Programa Operacional Factores de Competitividade through Fundacao para a Ciencia e a Tecnologia (COMPETE), Romania-Romanian Ministry of Education and Research, the Program Nucleu within MCI PN19150201/16N/2019 PN19060102, Romania-Romanian Ministry of Educatio n and Research, the Program Nucleu within PNCDI III PN-III-P1-1.2-PCCDI-2017-0839/19PCCDI/2018, Slovenian Research Agency - Slovenia P1-0031 P1-0385 I00033 N1-0111, Spain-Ministerio de Economia, Industria y Competitividad FPA2017-85114-P FPA2017-85197-P, Xunta de Galicia European Commission ED431C 2017/07, Junta de Andalucia SOMM17/6104/UGR, European Commission, RENATA Red Nacional Tematica de Astroparticulas FPA2015-68783-REDT, Maria de Maeztu Unit of Excellence MDM-2016-0692, United States Department of Energy (DOE) DE-AC0207CH11359 DE-FR02-04ER41300 DE-FG0299ER41107 DE-SC0011689, National Science Foundation (NSF) 0450696, Grainger Foundation, Marie Curie-IRSES/EPLANET, European Particle Physics Latin American Network, UNESCO

The indoor air quality (IAQ) was investigated in sixty-four primary school buildings in five Central European countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Poland, and Slovenia). The concentration of volatile organic compounds, aldehydes, PM2.5 mass, carbon dioxide, radon, as well as physical parameters were investigated during the heating period of 2017/2018. Significant differences were identified for the majority of the investigated IAQ parameters across the countries. The median indoor/outdoor ratios varied considerably. A comprehensive evaluation of IAQ in terms of potential health effects and comfort perception was performed. Hazard quotient values were below the threshold value of 1 with one exception. In contrast, 31% of the school buildings were characterized by hazard index values higher than 1. The maximum cumulative ratio approach highlighted that the concern for non-carcinogenic health effects was either low or the health risk was driven by more substances. The median excess lifetime cancer risk values exceeded the acceptable value of 1 × 10-6 in the case of radon and formaldehyde. PM2.5 mass concentration values exceeded the 24 h and annual guideline values set by the World Health Organization in 56 and 85% of the cases, respectively. About 80% of the schools could not manage to comply with the recommended concentration value for carbon dioxide (1000 ppm).

- Abstract
A Nemzeti Népegészségügyi Központ konzorciumvezetőként részt vett az InAirQ elnevezésű nemzetközi projektben, melynek célja, többek között, a beltéri levegőminőség vizsgálata általános iskolákban, illetve olyan akciótervek kidolgozása, melyekkel a beltéri levegő minősége javítható. Egy kampány keretében összesen hatvannégy általános iskola egy-egy osztálytermét vizsgáltuk a Cseh Köztársaságban (n = 12), Magyarországon (n = 16), Olaszországban (n = 12), Lengyelországban (n = 12) és Szlovéniában (n = 12). A bel- és kültéri levegőminőség vizsgálatára irányuló mintavételeket a 2017/2018-as fűtési időszakban végeztük a kiválasztott iskolaépületeknél. A légszennyezők közül meghatároztuk számos aldehid és illékony szerves vegyület, a kisméretű aeroszol részecskék (PM2.5), a szén-dioxid és a radon koncentrációját. A felmérés ideje alatt néhány fizikai paraméter (hőmérséklet, relatív páratartalom) alakulását is nyomon követtük. Jelentős eltéréseket tapasztaltunk számos légszennyező anyag esetén a felmérésben résztvevő országok között. A benzol koncentrációja a vizsgált iskolák 37%-ában meghaladta az Európai Bizottság által, a kültéri környezetre meghatározott éves határértéket (5 μg/m3 ). Azonban a beltéri benzol koncentráció minden esetben a kültéri értékkel közel azonos volt, így kijelenthető, hogy a benzolnak nincs jelentős beltéri forrása. A formaldehid koncentrációja beltéren minden esetben meghaladta a kültéri értéket, azonban egyik esetben sem érte el az Egészségügyi Világszervezet (WHO) által javasolt irányértéket (100 μg/m3 ). A PM2.5 tömegkoncentráció az iskolák 56%-ában meghaladta a WHO által megállapított 24 órás irányértéket (25 μg/m3 ), illetve az iskolák 85%-ában az éves (10 μg/m3 ) irányértéket meghaladó értékeket mértünk. A vizsgált osztálytermekben a szén-dioxid koncentrációja több esetben is magas volt (az átlag meghaladta a 1000 ppm értéket), jelezve az elégtelen szellőztetést. A komfortérzetet befolyásoló paraméterek közül a relatív páratartalom sok esetben nagyon alacsony volt. A radon koncentrációja 100 Bq/m3 körül mozgott, kivéve néhány osztálytermet Magyarországon, Lengyelországban és Szlovéniában.

Background: Allergic reactions to Hymenoptera stings can have varying levels of severity, according to the Müller grading system. Methods: By an epidemiological concept, this is a retrospective cohort study. The observed cohort was represented by patients referred to the University Clinic Golnik due to Hymenoptera allergic reaction in the period from 1997 to 2015. From the immunological database of the University Clinic Golnik, we obtained laboratory data (sIgE, skin tests and basophil activation test). The clinical characteristics of patients were obtained from BIRPIS. With the help of a questionnaire, which was sent to each patient in the period from May 2019 to April 2021, we obtained epidemiological data. For the assessment of the association between the severity of allergic reaction for the observed outcome, the severity of the first allergic reaction after Hymenoptera sting was used. Other variables were grouped according to risk factors. Discussion: We will identify the risk factors that could play an important role in a severe systemic reaction: the aetiology of the Hymenoptera sting, sex, age, history and severity of previous systemic reactions, being re-stung in an interval of two months, the frequency of re-stings, atopy, genetic predisposition, preventive medication use, other medication use, beekeeping or living next to beehives and why immunotherapy was not taken. Laboratory data will also be analysed to determine if there is any association with laboratory tests and the severity of the allergic reactions after Hymenoptera stings. Conclusions: Several new approaches are introduced in the study design. The most important is that the protocol covers epidemiological data gained from the questionnaire, as well as clinical data gained from the Immunological database and BIRPIS database. We expect to obtain significant results that will explain the risk factors for the natural history of Hymenoptera sting allergic reactions and will help allergologists, as well as general doctors, when facing those patients allergic to Hymenoptera venom without immunotherapy.

- Abstract
U završnom rad se obrazlaže tema napredak i razvoj ICT u hotelijerstvu. U radu se ističu inovativne tehnologije i moderni alati pomoću kojih se upravlja u hotelskom poslovanju. ICT je u hotelskom poslovanju potreba koja određuje daljnji razvoj hotela, a u nekim slučajevima i sam opstanak i zadržavanje tržišnog udjela. Inovacije u hotelima, a posebno moderna automatizacija je idealno rješenje za poboljšanja poslovanja hotela. Većina hotela koristi ICT kako bi olakšali svoje zadatke kao što su rezervacija, upravljanje sobama, telekomunikacija i računovodstvo i sl. Kada je dostupna prava tehnologija i ako se pravilno primijeni može se dobiti vidljiva organizacijska korist pri čemu se može potaknuti rast tvrtke. Najutjecajniji digitalni načini komuniciranja s turistima su web stranice, online turističke agencije (OTA), i sve značajnije društvene mreže i mobilne aplikacije. Hotelska informacijska i komunikacijska tehnologija ima dakle, značajan utjecaj na brojne načine te je unaprijedila poslovanje hotela i olakšala rezervaciju i komunikaciju gostima.

The time and location of the 1,598 verified and reconstructed elves, used for the analysis showcased in this paper, are publicly available on the website of the Pierre Auger Observatory (https://www.auger.org/ index.php/science/data). We wish to thank the World Wide Lightning Location Network (http://wwlln.net), a collaboration among over 50 universities and institutions, for providing the lightning location data used in this paper. We acknowledge Robert Marshall for providing one of the most advanced elve simulations to the public, a key tool in understanding the elves observed by the Pierre Auger Observatory. The successful installation, commissioning, and operation of the Pierre Auger Observatory would not have been possible without the strong commitment and effort from the technical and administrative staff in Malargüe., Elves are a class of transient luminous events, with a radial extent typically greater than 250 km, that occur in the lower ionosphere above strong electrical storms. We report the observation of 1,598 elves, from 2014 to 2016, recorded with unprecedented time resolution (100 ns) using the fluorescence detector (FD) of the Pierre Auger Cosmic-Ray Observatory. The Auger Observatory is located in the Mendoza province of Argentina with a viewing footprint for elve observations of 3 · 106 km2, reaching areas above the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, as well as the Córdoba region, which is known for severe convective thunderstorms. Primarily designed for ultrahigh energy cosmic-ray observations, the Auger FD turns out to be very sensitive to the ultraviolet emission in elves. The detector features modified Schmidt optics with large apertures resulting in a field of view that spans the horizon, and year-round operation on dark nights with low moonlight background, when the local weather is favorable. The measured light profiles of 18% of the elve events have more than one peak, compatible with intracloud activity. Within the 3-year sample, 72% of the elves correlate with the far-field radiation measurements of the World Wide Lightning Location Network. The Auger Observatory plans to continue operations until at least 2025, including elve observations and analysis. To the best of our knowledge, this observatory is the only facility on Earth that measures elves with year-round operation and full horizon coverage., Argentina—Comisión Nacional de Energía Atómica; Agencia Nacional de Promoción Científica y Tecnológica (ANPCyT); Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET); Gobierno de la Provincia de Mendoza; Municipalidad de Malargüe; and NDM Holdings and Valle Las Leñas, in gratitude for their continuing cooperation over land access; Australia—the Australian Research Council; Brazil—Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq); Financiadora de Estudos e Projetos (FINEP); Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa do Estado de Rio de Janeiro (FAPERJ); São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) Grants 2010/07359-6 and 1999/05404-3; Ministério da Ciência, Tecnologia, Inovações e Comunicações (MCTIC); Czech Republic—Grants MSMT CRLTT18004, LO1305, LM2015038, and CZ.02.1.01/0.0/0.0/16_013/0001402; France—Centre de Calcul IN2P3/CNRS; Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS); Conseil Régional Ile-de-France; Département Physique Nucléaire et Corpusculaire (PNC-IN2P3/CNRS); Département Sciences de l'Univers (SDU-INSU/CNRS); Institut Lagrange de Paris (ILP) Grant LABEX ANR-10-LABX-63 within the Investissements d'Avenir Programme Grant ANR-11-IDEX-0004-02; Germany—Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF); Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG); Finanzministerium Baden-Württemberg; Helmholtz Alliance for Astroparticle Physics (HAP); Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft.

We report a measurement of the energy spectrum of cosmic rays for energies above 2.5×10^18 eV based on 215,030 events recorded with zenith angles below 60°. A key feature of the work is that the estimates of the energies are independent of assumptions about the unknown hadronic physics or of the primary mass composition. The measurement is the most precise made hitherto with the accumulated exposure being so large that the measurements of the flux are dominated by systematic uncertainties except at energies above 5×10^19 eV. The principal conclusions are(1) The flattening of the spectrum near 5×10^18 eV, the so-called "ankle,"is confirmed.(2) The steepening of the spectrum at around 5×10^19 eV is confirmed.(3) A new feature has been identified in the spectrum: in the region above the ankle the spectral index γ of the particle flux (∝E^-γ) changes from 2.51±0.03 (stat)±0.05 (syst) to 3.05±0.05 (stat)±0.10 (syst) before changing sharply to 5.1±0.3 (stat)±0.1 (syst) above 5×10^19 eV.(4) No evidence for any dependence of the spectrum on declination has been found other than a mild excess from the Southern Hemisphere that is consistent with the anisotropy observed above 8×10^18 eV.

We report a measurement of the energy spectrum of cosmic rays above $2.5{\times} 10^{18}$ eV based on $215,030$ events. New results are presented: at about $1.3{\times} 10^{19}$ eV, the spectral index changes from $2.51 \pm 0.03 \textrm{ (stat.)} \pm 0.05 \textrm{ (sys.)}$ to $3.05 \pm 0.05 \textrm{ (stat.)}\pm 0.10\textrm{ (sys.)}$, evolving to $5.1\pm0.3\textrm{ (stat.)} \pm 0.1\textrm{ (sys.)}$ beyond $5{\times} 10^{19}$ eV, while no significant dependence of spectral features on the declination is seen in the accessible range. These features of the spectrum can be reproduced in models with energy-dependent mass composition. The energy density in cosmic rays above $5{\times} 10^{18}$ eV is $(5.66 \pm 0.03 \textrm{ (stat.)} \pm 1.40 \textrm{ (sys.)} ) {\times} 10^{53}~$erg Mpc$^{-3}$., Comment: Published version; 2 figures, 1 table

erratum ,UHE Cosmic Rays - Abstract
1 Exposure calculation Due to a mistake in the numerical integration following eq. (6.2) of the original article [1], the exposure shown in figure 5 of the original article was incorrect. The correct exposure is shown in figure 1. 2 Upper limits on the integral photon flux and fraction The incorrect exposure affects the calculation of the upper limits on the integral photon flux following eq. (6.1) of the original article. The correct values for the upper limits are 0.038, 0.010, 0.009, 0.008 and 0.007 km−2 sr−1 yr−1 for threshold energies of 1, 2, 3, 5 and 10 EeV. The correct values for the upper limits on the integral photon fraction subsequently derived are 0.14 %, 0.17 %, 0.42 %, 0.86 % and 2.9 % for the same threshold energies. 3 Author list The author list of this erratum also corrects a mistake made in the original article, where F. Zuccarello was missing and Z. Zong was listed twice.

- Abstract
The ALTO project aims to build a particle detector array for very high energy gamma ray observations optimized for soft spectrum sources. The accurate reconstruction of gamma ray events, in particular their energies, using a surface array is an especially challenging problem at the low energies ALTO aims to optimize for. In this contribution, we leverage Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to improve reconstruction performance at lower energies ( smaller 1 TeV ) as compared to the SEMLA analysis procedure, which is a more traditional method using mainly manually derived features.rnWe present performance figures using different network architectures and training settings, both in terms of accuracy and training time, as well as the impact of various data augmentation techniques.

Franchising is one of the most used strategies and/or modes for growing and expanding business as franchisors and starting new ventures as franchisees from the other side. Franchising is used for growing and expanding business not only in domestic but also in the international market. It can be seen in many industrial sectors, production companies, and service-providing companies. In the fashion and retail sectors, franchising is deeply embedded and represents one of the most obvious answers and one of the best strategies for expansion. Over the last several years, we have witnessed the expansion of different fashion brands in the region through franchising, especially their international expansion. Thus, we have investigated the situation in the fashion industry, especially the brands that use franchising as their primary growth strategy. The paper's primary goal is to analyze fashion franchising as a potential growth model for domestic fashion companies. Paper analyses and presents results of franchising in the world fashion industry and examines the situation in Croatia and North Macedonia. As a research result, it is seen that fashion franchising is mainly presented through international companies and that there are only rare examples of domestic fashion companies that franchise.

Izhodišča: Trenutno dosegljivi testi za razlikovanje med asimptomatsko senzibilizacijo in klinično relevantno alergijo za strupe žuželk niso zanesljivi. Namen našega članka je opredeliti: a) možne napovedne dejavnike, ki so jih navedli raziskovalci pregledanih raziskav, in b) napovedne dejavnike, ki igrajo pomembno vlogo pri opredelitvi poteka hude sistemske ali blažje lokalne reakcije pri senzibiliziranih bolnikih za pik ose ali čebele. Metode: Sistematični pregled literature obdobje do 31. 12. 2017 temelji v bibliografski bazi Pub Med. V sistematični pregled smo vključili epidemiološke raziskave, v katerih so raziskovalci proučevali možne napovedne dejavnike za opredelitev odgovora alergičnih bolnikov za strup čebele ali ose s težko sistemsko ali lokalno reakcijo. Rezultati: V sistematični pregled je bilo vključenih 16 izvirnih raziskav. Analiza je osvetlila prevalenco alergijskih bolezni, težko lokalno reakcijo ter sistemsko reakcijo po piku žuželk, kot so osa, sršen in čebela. Nakazujejo se tudi pomembni dejavniki tveganja za razvoj težke alergijske reakcije po piku, ki jih moramo upoštevati pri napovedi izida nadaljnjega zdravljenja. Zaključki: Raziskav na temo napovednih dejavnikov za težko alergijsko reakcijo za pik čebele in ose je malo. Pri nadaljnjem raziskovanju napovednih dejavnikov je treba uporabiti interdisciplinarni pristop, ki bo vključeval strokovnjake s področja klinične in javnozdravstvene medicine.

The hybrid design of the Pierre Auger Observatory allows for the measurement of the properties of extensive air showers initiated by ultra-high energy cosmic rays with unprecedented precision. By using an array of prototype underground muon detectors, we have performed the first direct measurement, by the Auger Collaboration, of the muon content of air showers between $$2\times 10^{17}$$ 2×1017 and $$2\times 10^{18}$$ 2×1018 eV. We have studied the energy evolution of the attenuation-corrected muon density, and compared it to predictions from air shower simulations. The observed densities are found to be larger than those predicted by models. We quantify this discrepancy by combining the measurements from the muon detector with those from the Auger fluorescence detector at $$10^{{17.5}}\, {\mathrm{eV}} $$ 1017.5eV and $$10^{{18}}\, {\mathrm{eV}} $$ 1018eV . We find that, for the models to explain the data, an increase in the muon density of $$38\%$$ 38% $$\pm 4\% (12\%)$$ ±4%(12%) $$\pm {}^{21\%}_{18\%}$$ ±18%21% for EPOS-LHC, and of $$50\% (53\%)$$ 50%(53%) $$\pm 4\% (13\%)$$ ±4%(13%) $$\pm {}^{23\%}_{20\%}$$ ±20%23% for QGSJetII-04, is respectively needed.
