In Bangladesh, adolescent marriage has a long established custom, especially in the rural areas where it is a common phenomenon for the girls. The study was aimed to explore the factors associated with Adolescent Marriage in a selected area of Bangladesh. A total of 220 adolescent women aged 13 to 20 years were included in this study and the data were collected from August to December 2016 among the adolescence mothers who delivered at selected hospital by face to face interview technique using semi structured questionnaire. Data was analysed using SPSS version 20. The mean age of the respondents was 18.9±3.2 years. About 97.7% of the respondents were housewives and the majority (58.6%) had primary level of education, 46.3% of the respondents got married at the age of 14-16 years and 40.9% of them got married at the age of ≤13 years. The mean family monthly income was 8412.4±6567.6 taka and most of the respondents (81.8%) experienced their first pregnancy at the age of ≤16 years. More than half (52.3%) of the respondents mentioned that fear of dowry was the reason behind the adolescence marriage. Father’s and mother’s educational level, family monthly income and consent taken during marriage was found to be significantly associated with age of the marriage of the adolescent girls. The findings reveal that the parent’s knowledge about legal age at first marriage was very much insufficient in some part of Bangladesh. It was reported that most of the marriage decision was made by the parents without the consent of the child. Social development such as parental education and urbanization may be the important solution in the prevention of early age marriages

Introdução: A reabilitação oral com implantes dentários é amplamente utilizada para restaurar a função e estética em pacientes com perda dentária. Contudo, o uso prolongado de medicamentos antirreabsortivos, como bisfosfonatos, pode causar osteonecrose medicamentosa dos maxilares (ONM), uma condição grave que afeta a cicatrização óssea após cirurgias de implante. Objetivo: O objetivo deste estudo é analisar se a reabilitação oral com implantes dentários é um fator de risco para o desenvolvimento da osteonecrose medicamentosa dos maxilares.Métodos: Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa da literatura utilizando as diretrizes PRISMA. A pesquisa foi conduzida nas bases de dados PubMed, BVS e SciELO, com a combinação de descritores “Bisphosphonate-Associated Osteonecrosis of the Jaw”,  “Dental Implants” e  “Surgery, Oral”, combinados aos operadores booleanos “AND” e “OR”. Foram incluídos artigos de 2019 a 2024, disponíveis em texto completo e em inglês ou português, que respondessem à pergunta norteadora. Estudos envolvendo animais ou revisões de literatura foram excluídos. Resultados e discussão: A busca inicial identificou 125 estudos, dos quais 9 artigos foram incluídos para análise final. Os artigos analisados demonstram que pacientes em uso de medicamentos antirreabsortivos apresentam maior risco de desenvolver ONM após a instalação de implantes dentários. A redução da vascularização e a inibição da remodelação óssea contribuem para esse risco. O planejamento cirúrgico cuidadoso e o acompanhamento pós-operatório rigoroso são essenciais para minimizar as complicações. Conclusão: Implantes dentários podem aumentar o risco de ONM em pacientes que utilizam medicamentos antirreabsortivos. Estratégias preventivas e monitoramento rigoroso são cruciais para evitar o desenvolvimento dessa condição.

the article presents the development of a software and hardware complex for the detection and identification of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The paradigm of using such devises is being introduced more and more into all spheres of public life. That is why such software and hardware complexes are necessary to effectively identify the threat that a UAV can provide. The article considers an acoustic method of drone detection, namely the development of a microphone array based on highly sensitive digital microphones of the INMP441 model, combined with the use of artificial intelligence. The use of systems based on the acoustic detection method makes it possible to detect UAVs even in radio silence mode, and with a higher detection rate, unlike radar and radio engineering control methods. The article also discusses the pros and cons of the acoustic control method. To develop the system, we used FPGA (programmable logic integrated circuit) of the ZYNQ 7010 model, microphone array, Qt framework and TCP/IP network protocol. In conclusion, it was revealed that this software and hardware complex allows solving the problem of effective detection of UAVs and is also capable of being integrated into existing large security systems as a separate module

the method of matching of the shortened version of the pin vertical asymmetrical vibrator antenna operating in the short-wave range is considered. The length of the radiating part of the shortened antenna is 0.1 wavelength. The study took place in a relative frequency bandwidth of 20 per cent between 3.6 and 4.4 MHz. The matching was carried out at 4 MHz. The active and reactive parts of the antenna input impedance were measured. An approximation of the input impedance was carried out to build a mathematical model. The approximation of the active part of the wave impedance is described using the pedestal cosine function, the reactive part, which has capacitive character, is described using the hyperbolic function. The use of coaxial cable sections with different wave impedance has been considered in the matching system. The transforming properties of the coaxial cable and a short-circuited loop connected to it in parallel were used as a matching device. The matching was carried out with the wave impedance of the feeder and the receiving and transmitting device of 50 ohms. Optimisation of the initial standard wave impedances of 50- and 75-Ohm coaxial cable was carried out according to the criteria of minimum length and maximum antenna operating frequency bandwidth. Graphs of the standing wave coefficient for different variants of matching systems are plotted. A comparative analysis of the approximation results is carried out.
Investment Treaty Arbitration Caught in The Public-Private Law Divide
Authors: Titi Catharine
Published: September 2024

The ongoing reform of investor-state dispute settlement (“ISDS”) underlines the pertinence of an old question that has received various and conflicting answers: Is investment arbitration a public or private method of dispute settlement? A key criticism leveled at investment treaty arbitration is that public interest disputes are decided by a system of private justice. This article critically reviews the dominant interpretations of investment treaty arbitration as public, private, or hybrid. It argues that the subjective nature of each interpretation means that none of them can be definitively adopted. Rather, the real arguments in favor of or against arbitration lie beyond the traditional debate. The article shows that investment arbitration displays important commonalities with international court systems, with its presumed unique features—including party autonomy—appearing a little less unique on closer inspection. Ultimately, a system is what states make it, irrespective of whether its particular features are described as public or private.

Legal analysis of the risks in art exhibition contracts from the perspective of international law
Authors: Zhou Chen
Published: September 2024

International art exhibitions can lead to disputes between multiple parties due to their transnational and complex nature, unlike domestic art exhibitions. The “Kiefer” Chinese painting exhibition triggered a series of controversies that should not be overlooked. Professionals in the art industry should reflect on these controversies to gain insights and promote the development of the field. This article focuses on the “Kiefer” incident to discuss the major risk points in the international art exhibition process. The article is divided into three parts. The first part concerns the selection and application of the law, where parties must carefully consider which laws and international rules to apply. The second part addresses the nature of the contract and liability, examining how the applicable law affects the legal nature of the contract and the obligations of the parties involved. The third part deals with unauthorized disposition and judicial seizure, focusing on issues of good faith acquisition when a party receiving artwork illegally disposes of it without the owner’s permission, as well as the problem of judicial seizure and immunity from judicial seizure of artworks (including cultural relics) involved in litigation.

Published: September 2024

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health concern characterized by chronic hyperglycemia due to defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. Type 2 diabetes (T2DM), the most prevalent form, is largely driven by obesity and a sedentary lifestyle, contributing to over 95% of diabetes cases worldwide. The current treatment regimens for T2DM, including Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, aim to enhance insulin secretion but are often associated with adverse side effects. This has intensified the search for natural, safer alternatives with comparable efficacy. Moringa oleifera, a highly valued plant with an extensive history in traditional medicine, has shown promising antidiabetic properties. This research explores the potential of Moringa oleifera-derived phytochemicals as natural DPP-4 inhibitors using in-silico molecular docking techniques. The study identifies and evaluates the binding affinities of these phytochemicals to the DPP-4 enzyme, aiming to predict their inhibitory potential and minimal side effects, thereby contributing to the development of novel, safer hypoglycemic drugs. The results indicate the compounds’ potential as effective DPP-4 inhibitors with promising hypoglycemic properties. Specifically, piceatannol exhibited the highest binding affinity of -7.9 kcal/mol, whereas vanillic acid had the lowest at -5.7 kcal/mol. This study underscores the potential of Moringa oleifera as a natural, safer alternative in the development of novel anti-diabetic drugs, contributing to the growing body of research on plant-based therapeutics for diabetes management.

This research assesses both advanced and existing technologies aimed at mitigating gas flaring in Nigeria, focusing on their viability, effectiveness, and environmental implications.
The evaluation begins with gas re-injection techniques, which involve redirecting flared gas back into reservoirs to enhance oil recovery and reduce emissions. It also covers flare gas recovery systems that capture and re-purpose flared gas for energy production or other beneficial uses. Additionally, the potential of liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects to minimise flaring and monetise associated gas is explored.
Furthermore, the study examines innovative approaches such as gas-to-methanol (GTM) conversion, which transforms flared gas into methanol, a valuable chemical feed-stock. The review also considers advanced methods like carbon capture and storage (CCS), which can absorb carbon emissions from flaring and mitigate its environmental impact.
The assessment includes the integration of renewable energy sources as a sustainable alternative to fossil fuel-based energy generation to reduce reliance on flaring.
Findings reveal that while progress has been made in reducing flaring volumes, challenges persist, particularly in regulatory enforcement, economic feasibility, and technological adoption. The review highlights the need for improved policy frameworks, increased investment in sustainable technologies, and international cooperation to achieve Zero Routine Flaring by 2030. This study provides valuable insights and recommendations for policymakers and industry stakeholders to enhance Nigeria’s environmental sustainability and economic resilience.

Shortcomings of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023: An Analytical Perspective
Authors: - Md. Imran Wahab, IPS
Published: September 2024

The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 was enacted on December 25, 2023, to supplant the Indian Penal Code of 1860, marking a significant reform in India's criminal justice system. This legislation, along with the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita as well as Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, took impact on 1st July 2024. The changes signify a departure from colonial legal frameworks, aiming for a system aligned with contemporary rights and inclusivity. While the Chief Justice of India and various legal experts have praised the BNS as a transformative step, it still exhibits notable shortcomings. For instance, it fails to address necrophilia, leaving serious offences unregulated. Moreover, Section 69's treatment of "deceitful means" in sexual relations raises issues regarding consent, particularly in contexts involving job offers or promotions. Section 152, which deals with threats to national sovereignty, could lead to overly broad interpretations that impede free expression. Additionally, Sections 84 and 88 reveal gender biases and outdated perspectives on marital rights and women's reproductive decisions. These challenges highlight the urgent need for further review and reform to ensure BNS fulfils its goal of creating a just and equitable legal system.

In the face of digital era promotional challenges, developing a company profile website has become a crucial need for PT Multi Global. Despite operating for over two decades, the company has lacked a formal promotional platform capable of reaching a broader market. Previous promotional efforts relied solely on word-of-mouth, which is limited in expanding the company’s visibility in today’s digital landscape. Through a Community Service (PkM) initiative, this study aims to design and develop an informative and responsive company profile website using WordPress CMS and the Elementor plugin. The development process follows the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) method with a waterfall approach, encompassing requirements analysis, design, implementation, testing, and maintenance phases. The final outcome of this project is a website that provides comprehensive information about the company, its products, and services, while also enhancing brand awareness and facilitating easier access to information for customers. This website development is expected to serve as an effective solution in supporting PT Multi Global's business growth and boosting the company’s competitiveness in an increasingly competitive market.

Balikpapan City has the potential for argotourism, namely Kebun Melon Sumber Berkah, in addition to agriculture as well as educational tourism such as providing planting and harvesting experiences. Educational activities carried out become brand positioning so that Kebun Melon Sumber Berkah is more easily recognised by the public. Promotional activities carried out have not displayed in accordance with the identity of Kebun Melon Sumber Berkah, besides that supporting facilities to support Kebun Melon Sumber Berkah as argotourism are still very minimal. Based on this, the purpose of this activity is to strengthen the image or position as argotourism and maximise its educational potential. The method used is ABCD or Asset Based Community Development which is carried out with 4 stages, namely preparation, implementation, analysis and utilisation of results. The result of this activity is that visitors are satisfied with the programme carried out so that the promotion and facilities of Kebun Melon Sumber Berkah are easily known as educational tourism.

In the United Kingdom (UK), the current prevalence rates of oropharyngeal cancer linked to human papillomavirus (HPV) are 6.29% and 2.04% in men and women, respectively. Over the years, the burden of this disease has increased in the UK, and this is mainly due to the rising prevalence of HPV infection in the UK. Research evidence has shown that over 70% of oropharyngeal cancers in the UK are linked to HPV. Oral sex is the major route of transmission of HPV, and over 63% of UK young adults are found to have a positive history of oral sex practice. However, only a minority of the UK population are aware of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer; this therefore calls for more public health efforts to increase awareness and knowledge on HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer in the UK. While the use of technology-based, clinic-based, and community-based interventions have been employed to improve public awareness and knowledge on the role of HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer, mobile health (mhealth) interventions have not been seriously explored despite existing robust evidence on the effective roles of mhealth in improving awareness and knowledge in diverse diseases. This article therefore calls for the adoption and use of mhealth interventions in educating the UK’s population on HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer. The use of mhealth interventions in this regard is highly viable as its implementation closely aligns with the country’s National Health Service (NHS) commitment towards the digital transformation of the UK’s healthcare system.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a highly malignant and invasive tumor with significant mortality and morbidity. Current treatment modalities such as surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy encounter significant limitations, such as poor targeting, systemic toxicity, and drug resistance. There is an urgent need for novel therapeutic strategies that offer targeted delivery, enhanced efficacy, and reduced side effects. The advent of lipid-based nanoparticles (LNPs) offers a promising tool for OSCC therapy, potentially overcoming the limitations of current therapeutic approaches. LNPs are composed of biodegradable and biocompatible lipids, which minimize the risk of toxicity and adverse effects. LNPs can encapsulate hydrophobic drugs, improving their solubility and stability in the biological environment, thereby enhancing their bioavailability. LNPs demonstrate significantly higher ability to encapsulate lipophilic drugs than other nanoparticle types. LNPs offer excellent storage stability, minimal drug leakage, and controlled drug release, making them highly effective nanoplatforms for the delivery of chemotherapeutic agents. Additionally, LNPs can be modified by complexing them with specific target ligands on their surface. This surface modification allows the active targeting of LNPs to the tumors in addition to the passive targeting mechanism. Furthermore, the PEGylation of LNPs improves their hydrophilicity and enhances their biological half-life by reducing clearance by the reticuloendothelial system. This review aims to discuss current treatment approaches and their limitations, as well as recent advancements in LNPs for better management of OSCC.
