    Software-assisted analytical Quality by Design for stability-indicating method development: integration of DoE and predictive retention modeling using MODDE® and DryLab®

    Full text link
    In modern pharmaceutical development, the increasing complexity of drug substances, formulations, and regulatory expectations has rendered traditional one-factor-at-a-time (OFAT) approaches to analytical method development inefficient and increasingly impractical. Consequently, analytical development in the twenty-first century is shifting toward systematic data-driven strategies based on Design of Experiments (DoE) and predictive modeling, in alignment with the principles of Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD). Software tools such as MODDE® and DryLab® exemplify this transition by enabling multivariate evaluation of critical method parameters, quantitative definition of design spaces, and prediction of chromatographic performance across wide operational ranges. Although numerous studies report the successful application of DoE-based optimization or predictive retention modeling as standalone approaches, a growing body of evidence, particularly from pharmaceutical applications, demonstrates the advantages of their integrated use for the development of robust, stability-indicating analytical methods. This review provides a comprehensive overview of AQbD-based stability-indicating method development with emphasis on the combined application of MODDE® and DryLab®, examining their roles in systematic risk assessment, statistical modeling, and predictive simulation to enhance method robustness, reduce experimental burden, and support regulatory flexibility within a scientifically justified method operable design region (MODR). In addition, emerging perspectives on artificial intelligence- and machine learning-assisted retention prediction are discussed as natural extensions of current software-assisted AQbD frameworks, highlighting future directions toward more efficient, knowledge-driven, and digitally enabled analytical method development

    The Pragmatics of Sorry: A Cross-Linguistic Analysis of English and Macedonian Online Communication

    Full text link
    This paper examines the use of the lexeme sorry in English and Macedonian online communication, focusing on its multifunctionality beyond the conventional role of apology. While sorry is typically associated with expressions of regret, its pragmatic value extends to discourse management, mitigation, and even ironic or non-apologetic uses. The study outlines the theoretical framework of apology and discourse marker research, describes the methodology used to collect instances of sorry and its Macedonian equivalent forms, and analyses their syntactic and pragmatic properties. The analysis distinguishes three main functions: (1) sorry as a prototypical apology speech act, (2) sorry as a discourse marker that softens or manages interaction, and (3) sorry as a sarcastic or non-apology. Examples from English and Macedonian corpora are examined with attention to syntactic structure, frequency, and pragmatic implications. The findings suggest that English speakers employ sorry primarily to convey sympathy and regret in online contexts, often extending its use beyond explicit apologies. Macedonian speakers, however, tend to use sorry or the orthographically adapted sori to address minor offences, typically accompanied by explanations or justifications. The study also finds that the orthographic adaptation sori does not significantly affect the range or frequency of its pragmatic functions. Although limited in scope, the research identifies valuable patterns in the cross-linguistic use of sorry and highlights the need for further investigation on larger corpora to fully capture its role in online discourse and intercultural pragmatics

    How to Find the Covering Radius of Linear Codes over Finite Fields Using a Parity-Check Matrix in Parallel

    Full text link
    We present a parallel algorithm for computing the covering radius of a linear [n, k]q code using its parity-check matrix. The method is based on the systematic generation of syndromes associated with linear combinations of columns of the parity-check matrix. To improve scalability, the search space is partitioned and processed in parallel using a master–worker strategy implemented with the Message Passing Interface (MPI). The proposed approach significantly reduces the computational effort required for covering radius computation, a problem known to be NP-hard in general. Experimental results demonstrate that the parallelization achieves substantial speedups and makes the exact computation of the covering radius feasible for codes of larger parameters

    Artificial Intelligence in Criminal Justice: Predictive Tools, Evidentiary Challenges and Human Rights Implications

    Full text link
    Integrating artificial intelligence (AI) technologies into criminal justice systems introduces both transformative opportunities and profound legal dilemmas. This paper critically examines the use of AI in crime prediction, risk assessment, evidence analysis and sentencing, with particular attention to its impact on fundamental procedural rights. Focusing on predictive policing algorithms, facial recognition systems, and AI-assisted evidence review, the research explores how these tools reshape police, prosecutorial and judicial discretion. Key challenges include transparency, explainability and risks of systemic bias or “automated justice”, contrasted with constitutional guarantees such as the presumption of innocence, the right to a fair trial and the principle of legality. The study concludes that while AI can enhance efficiency and accuracy, its uncritical adoption may jeopardize essential human rights protections unless accompanied by robust procedural safeguards. Artificial intelligence should serve as an instrument of human progress, not as a substitute for human judgment. Keywords: AI in criminal law, algorithmic evidence, risk assessment tools, predictive policing, fair trial, legal safeguards, procedural rights

    Problems and challenges facing vulnerable categories of citizens in municipalities in the Republic of North Macedonia

    Full text link
    The Republic of North Macedonia (RNM), by ratifying the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in 2011, has joined the efforts of the international community to create and implement national policies that promote the rights of persons with disabilities, combat all forms of discrimination and build an inclusive society. European experiences show that although the rights of persons with disabilities are being promoted, especially in terms of accessibility, persons with disabilities still face significant barriers in accessing healthcare, education, employment and social needs and services. Persons with disabilities have a higher risk of poverty and social exclusion compared to persons without disabilities and are more likely to face the need for social services. Hence, the paper focuses on analyzing the situation in the domain of social services for vulnerable categories of citizens in several municipalities in the Republic of North Macedonia (Stumica, Kocani, Kumanovo and Delcevo), to determine the problems and challenges faced by these people. The general objective of the research is to contribute to the social inclusion of disadvantaged groups, improve the quality of life, as well as encourage social cohesion at the local level by promoting the localization of the 2030 Agenda and its goals, in particular, the principle of "Leaving No One Behind" - LNOB at the municipal level. The specific objectives of the research relate to identifying the problems and needs for social services and the inclusion in the social life of vulnerable groups of citizens, identifying their attitudes towards overcoming problems and improving the services they receive; identifying a database of existing measures and services; and developing recommendations for creating policies and measures. The research methodology is field research conducted using a questionnaire, a focus group with representatives of vulnerable categories of citizens and institutions that are responsible for the protection and exercise of the rights of this category of citizens, as well as an analysis of legal and regulatory acts and other documents relevant to the research. The research sample is targeted, since it is a target group that is not approached randomly, but based on previously obtained data about them. The results of the research showed that on average about 49.2% of people with disabilities need help in the implementation of certain activities. In addition, people with disabilities feel forgotten by the community and need to talk to a professional about their problems are more numerous among men. 1/3 of the respondents expressed a need for a personal assistant. A high percentage of the respondents are not familiar with the existence of day centers and social clubs for people with disabilities. About half of the respondents need to use a social club, which they would use but do not know that it exists. One third of the respondents need rehabilitation and reintegration. This indicates that the Municipalities and other competent institutions for the protection of persons with disabilities should focus on providing measures and funds for the improvement of social services and meeting social needs. Keywords: social services, persons with disabilities, rehabilitation, needs 1Full professor PhD, Faculty of Law, Goce Delcev University, Stip, North Macedonia, e-mail: [email protected]

    Management of a dentigerous cyst in the right mandible: A case report with radiographic, histopathological and immunohistochemical insights

    Full text link
    Introduction: Dentigerous cysts are developmental odontogenic cysts originating from the reduced enamel epithelium and characteristically enveloping the crowns of unerupted or impacted teeth. They represent the second most prevalent odontogenic cystic lesion of the jaws, with a marked predilection for the mandibular third molar region. Although frequently asymptomatic and detected incidentally during routine radiographic examination, progressive cystic enlargement may result in bone destruction, tooth displacement, and neurosensory disturbances. Case description: This report presents the clinical, radiographic, surgical, histopathological and immunohistochemical features of a dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted right mandibular third molar in a 36-year-old female patient. The patient reported mild intraoral swelling accompanied by intermittent, non specific pain. Panoramic and CBCT imaging revealed a well-defined unilocular radiolucency attached to the cemento-enamel junction of the impacted tooth. Surgical management consisted of complete enucleation of the cystic lesion with simultaneous extraction of the associated tooth. Histopathological and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed the diagnosis, demonstrating thin, non-keratinized stratified squamous epithelial lining, CK19 positivity, low Ki-67 proliferation index, and absent p53 expression. Conclusion: This case underscores the importance of radiographic surveillance of impacted teeth and confirms that surgical enucleation with tooth extraction remains a definitive and effective treatment modality for dentigerous cysts when the associated tooth lacks functional value. A diagnostic algorithm is proposed to guide clinicians in evaluation and management. Keywords: Dentigerous cyst; Mandible; Impacted third molar; Enucleation; CBCT; Immunohistochemistry; Oral surger
