Authors: Vil'danov Marat , Gerasimova Larisa , Chemikosova Tatyana
Published: November 2022

Objectives. To evaluate the correlation between the psycho-emotional state and the pain factor in patients with oral lichen planus (OLP).

Methodology. Patients (n = 287) with various verified clinical forms of OLP of the oral mucosa (OM) and patients of the control group (without OLP) (n = 32), matched by gender and age, were studied. The levels of anxiety and depression were studied according to the Beck method, the intensity of pain sensations on a visual analog scale using author's computer programs.

Results. In the structure of the examined patients with OLP, the following clinical forms prevailed: typical form was 39.7% (n = 114), erosive-ulcerative – 31.0% (n = 89), exudative-hyperemic – 21.9% (n = 63 ), other forms – 7.4%, (n = 21).

Analysis of the correlation between pain and anxiety (BAI) and depression (BDI) revealed positive mean correlations: r = 0.5627 (95% CI 0.4754–0.6390) and r = 0.4349 (95% CI 0, 3330–0.5268), at p < 0.0001, respectively. It is worth noting that the pain factor had a 29% greater influence on the state of anxiety than on the depression factor.

Conclusion. In the complex therapy of OLP, it is necessary to take into account the psychological profile of patients, pain, understanding that these factors can be either initiating or supporting the pathological state. In view of this, the issue of an interdisciplinary approach and general planning of therapy with the involvement of specialized specialists is especially acute. The applied author's programs have shown convenience for both doctors and patients.

Published: November 2022

The important objective of this study is to analyze the effect of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, and lifestyle compatibility on behavioral intention toward QRIS in Indonesia. The data collected in this study are quantitative data using a quantitative approach. The population in this study is MSME actors in Indonesia, and the sample obtained using the convenience sampling method was as many as 140. Data analysis used instrument tests, normality tests, regression tests, hypothesis tests, correlation tests, and the coefficient of determination. The results showed that performance expectancy and lifestyle compatibility positively and significantly affected behavioral intention. At the same time, the other results show that effort expectancy has a positive but insignificant effect on behavioral intention. The study's conclusion confirms that to increase the enthusiasm of MSME actors to use QRIS as an alternative to non-cash payments, the government and relevant stakeholders need to conduct in-depth socialization regarding the benefits and advantages of using QRIS for MSME actors. Furthermore, QRIS users must be careful of QR code counterfeiting by irresponsible parties and sabotage of QR Code user accounts which lead to cyber crime

En el ámbito de los contratos resulta imperativo preservar los derechos fundamentales. El artículo trata en particular de la libertad, de la igualdad y de la no discriminación, con el propósito de señalar que la prohibición de discriminación contractual no se propone resolver un problema de acceso a los mercados, ni uno de mera tutela de la debilidad de quien la sufre, ni está exclusivamente dirigida a la garantía de la transparencia en el ámbito público de una oferta, sino que es un asunto de dignidad humana, de democracia y, en últimas, de justicia.
La naturaleza de las reglas para la interpretación de los contratos. Análisis sobre su alcance conceptual en la atribución de significado a cláusulas contractuales
Authors: Celis Vela Dúber Armando
Published: November 2022

Las reglas sobre la interpretación de los contratos han sido reconstruidas como normas imperativas y facultativas en la doctrina y la jurisprudencia colombianas. Sin embargo, esta calificación teórico-dogmática falla porque no da cuenta de la naturaleza de las obligaciones que tienen los intérpretes ni explica su relevancia práctica. Este artículo propone que tales normas pueden ser reconstruidas como reglas conceptuales que fijan el significado de la actividad interpretativa. La interpretación contractual consiste en establecer la intención común desde la configuración de un código interpretativo particular y contingente que opera como criterio de interpretación o presupuesto para la selección de resultados interpretativos.

El presente artículo tiene por propósito responder a una pregunta relativa a la publicidad comparativa en la Ley 20.169 sobre competencia desleal chilena (en adelante LCD): ¿depende su licitud del hecho de que esta sea veraz y demostrable? Una lectura preliminar de la letra e) de su artículo 4.º podría inclinarnos a responderla afirmativamente. Sin embargo, un examen más detenido de la comparación publicitaria, a partir del método dogmático y del análisis empírico, muestra que, al menos en dos casos, no es así necesariamente.

Mineral Resource Taxation in Poland as Environmental Revenue
Authors: Ochot Artur
Published: November 2022

The purpose of the article/hypothesis. The statistics on environmental taxes in Poland lack a very specific resource taxation in form of the tax on extraction of certain minerals and the exploitation levy, which is the subject of this article. This paper aims to provide a proof that these taxes should be considered environmental in nature and as such are required to be reported by the European law. Thus, the article suggests and recommends that national environmental tax revenues data should be corrected.
Methodology. First, the law and literatue overview is presented, taking view on the characteristics of environmental taxes and placing those taxes that are subject of this article into this category. Next, fiscal importance of those taxes is measured within budgets of its receivers. Additionally, the article provides the information on how much environmental tax statistics would have changed after taking into consideration the taxes discussed in this article. The research period of this study is 2012–2020. It is dictated by the introduction of tax on certain mineral extraction and the latest budget reports available. The research is limited by the accessibility of public data which does not provide separate accounts of hydrocarbon taxes (which should be excluded from environmental data) and taxes on other minerals.
Results of the research. The overview of the literature provides some evidence that the exploitation levy should be treated as a tax and, together with the tax on certain mineral extraction, should be treated as environmental in nature. Thus, they should be implemented in national environmental tax statistics. Although majority of environmental tax revenues is made by taxes on energy, the result of this implementation would significantly change values of taxes on pollution and resources, making it second (out of three) most important category within environmental taxes in Poland.

El legado vigente de los viejos liberales políticos
Authors: Rubio Correa Marcial
Published: November 2022

Los viejos liberales a los que se refiere este libro son Maquiavelo, Bodino, Hobbes, Bossuet, Locke, Montesquieu, Rousseau, Adam Smith, Sieyès, Burke, Hamilton, Madison, Jay, Paine, Constant, Tocqueville y John Stuart Mill. Aunque no todos los mencionados son considerados liberales por la tradición, tienen en común su sólida defensa de la libertad y la propiedad, dos grandes principios liberales. Sus ideas interactuaron constantemente a lo largo de la historia y entre ellos no hubo solo progresistas sino también conservadores; el legado liberal no es unilineal sino más bien multiforme. Marcial Rubio Correa, el autor, toma las ideas fundamentales que los liberales han legado al mundo contemporáneo: la libertad y la propiedad fueron sus valores predilectos y su vigencia permanece hasta la actualidad; no todos trataron la seguridad como un derecho y varios consideraron la igualdad con cierto desprecio; en tanto otros, como Rousseau, la creyeron indispensable para el mundo que querían construir. Buena parte de los viejos liberales lucharon abiertamente contra el absolutismo, respaldaron la monarquía constitucional y finalmente llegaron a la república. Convencieron a la humanidad de que la democracia era el mejor sistema de gobierno. Empeñados en construir un Estado proclive a la libertad y la propiedad, los liberales idearon la soberanía, la separación de poderes y la posibilidad de que alguna vez hubiera Estados regidos por constituciones. Todo esto se llevó a la realidad y hoy esas ideas constituyen los pilares de nuestra organización política.

Authors: Jat Anita , Shekhawat P.S. , Saini K.K.
Published: November 2022

Background: Bacterial blight pathogen (Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. cyamopsidis) of clusterbean causes considerable damage every year during Kharif season and sometimes become very severe, which results in heavy loss in grain yield. Methods: On the basis of in vitro studies, most effective botanical, antibiotic and fungicide at highest concentration were used as individual and its combinations in field experiment during two consecutive years Kharif 2018 and 2019. Seeds of clusterbean cultivar RGC-936 were artificially inoculated with X. axonopodis pv. cyamopsidis by soaking in bacterial cell suspension (2.5x108 cfu/ml) for 30 min and dried under shade. The artificially inoculated seeds were used for sowing in field trial Result: Field evaluation, the combined treatment, seed treatment with streptocycline @ 250 ppm followed two foliar sprays of streptocycline @ 250 ppm and 1st foliar spray of copper oxychloride @ 0.3 per cent and 2nd foliar spray of streptocycline @ 250 ppm at 15 days interval was found the most effective in reducing the per cent disease severity and increasing the grain and fodder yield in clusterbean.
Does the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) fluoxetine modify canine anxiety related behaviour?
Authors: Echeverri Nicole , Govendir Merran
Published: November 2022

PICO question

Does administration of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) fluoxetine reduce the severity and / or frequency of some anxiety related behaviours in companion dogs, of at least 8 months of age, when compared with no pharmacological treatment?

 

Clinical bottom line

Category of research question

Treatment

The number and type of study designs reviewed

Two studies, both randomised, were critically appraised. Each had a placebo control group and the dog's owners were blinded to the treatments

Strength of evidence

Moderate

Outcomes reported

Both studies provide moderate evidence that fluoxetine, when dispensed at 1–2 mg/kg per day by oral administration and not involving a behavioural modification program for the patient, may reduce some behaviours associated with separation anxiety and / or compulsive disorders. Both studies indicate that a reduction in some unwanted behaviours may be observed after 1 week of fluoxetine medication. Both studies recommend that behavioural and environmental modifications are important adjuncts to pharmacologic treatment of dogs with either compulsive disorders or separation anxiety. Both studies also report that some dogs treated with fluoxetine experienced anorexia / decreased appetite and lethargy, although most of these effects were transient

Conclusion

The clinical recommendation is that fluoxetine at 1–2 mg/kg administered orally, once daily, may be beneficial in reducing the severity of some canine anxiety related behaviours

 

How to apply this evidence in practice

The application of evidence into practice should take into account multiple factors, not limited to: individual clinical expertise, patient’s circumstances and owners’ values, country, location or clinic where you work, the individual case in front of you, the availability of therapies and resources.

The monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) of soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration following management changes is complex due to the multitude of influencing factors related to ecosystem processes but also due to (socio-)economic or legal requirements. Several protocols for MRV applications have been published. In this chapter we will provide an overview about available systems and their advantages and limitations. There is a wide range of options to quantify SOC changes, but most of these options have limitations. Field measurements, including periodic on site measurements, short-term experiments and long-term monitoring are time consuming, cost and labour intensive. On the other hand modelling, and/or remote sensing approaches are associated with uncertainty, and/or data demand. Therefore, an effective MRV application should be a combination of different approaches. This chapter will discuss the different aspects, which will be picked up in the other chapters of this section that will present more details on quantification options.

Agricultural practices to improve soil carbon sequestration in rice paddy soils
Authors:   Gyeongsang National University, South Korea, Ji Song Hyeon , Joo Kim Pil ,   Gyeongsang National University, South Korea
Published: November 2022

Paddy rice systems are characterized by waterlogged conditions with high potential for CH4 emissions and soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the net global warming potential (GWP) of soil management considering SOC stock changes, and CH4 and N2O fluxes. Green manure application and straw retention slightly enhanced SOC stock, but highly increased net GWP due to high CH4 emissions. Aerobic pre-digestion of organic matter amended soils and water drainage during cropping are practices which significantly decrease net GWP. Moreover, silicate fertilizers with electron acceptors like oxidized iron and manganese also decrease net GWP. Biochar rather than compost as a stable organic amendment significantly increases SOC while decreasing net GWP. In conclusion, the combined management of organic amendments, aerobic pre-digestion, water drainage, and fertilizers could be a promising way to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and favor C sequestration in rice paddies.

Carbonate-rich soils are common in many arid and semiarid areas. Many of them are cultivated, and agriculture is expanding by the spreading of irrigation. Although the soil mineral fraction has been usually considered little or not affected by agricultural management in the short term, increasing evidence suggests that this is not the case for carbonates in the tilled layer. The consequences of management can be intense and depend on the modifications induced in inorganic carbon cycling, which can result in gains or losses of total inorganic soil C, and in changes in its type (pedogenic vs. lithogenic), size and distribution. Net soil CO2 emissions and interactions with organic C cycle can be affected by these changes, thereby altering soil organic matter dynamics. This chapter summarizes the major observed effects of agricultural practices potentially altering soil carbonates, includes a case study in a newly irrigated area, and identifies the most important knowledge gaps and research perspectives.

As urbanisation continues to increase globally, there is increasing focus on urban soils, their potential for soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration as well as the broad range of other ecosystem services they can deliver. Urban soils are heterogeneous ranging from relic soils of ecosystems before urbanisation to soils strongly modified by management activities and man-made technolsols. This chapter discusses management options for fostering SOC sequestration across a wide range of urban infrastructures. It emphasises the key potential role of urban waste materials in soil improvement within a circular urban economy.

Aim: Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) is defined as an inflammatory and/or fibrotic immune reaction provoked by an inhalational exposure in susceptible individuals. Initial management of HP patients includes remediation of exposure and treatment with immunosuppressive agents. In this study we aimed to define clinical features and treatment modalities and to evaluate response to corticosteroids in HP patients followed in a single tertiary care setting.
Materials and Methods: The patients with HP diagnosis followed between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2020 were included in this retrospective study. Firstly, the candidate factors related with treatment response were evaluated by univariate analysis and then the possible factors with p values below 0.15 were evaluated by multiple linear regression model to identify independent predictors of systemic corticosteroid response.
Results: The study population consisted of 50 HP patients and 20 of them (40%) had fibrotic HP. Forty-one (82.0%) patients were followed with a medical treatment for longer than 3 months. Within follow-up period 15 (36.5%) patients didn’t show clinical or radiological response to systemic corticosteroids. Patients without treatment response were presented as fibrotic HP (66.6% vs 26%, p=0.02), had radiological features of fibrosis (86.6% vs 30.7%, p=0.002) and had loss of pulmonary functions (60.0% vs 34.6%, p=0.03) more frequently. Uni-variable analysis revealed that radiological features of fibrosis (OR: 0.07 [95%CI: 0.01-0.42], p=0.003) and mosaic attenuation (OR: 7.0 [95%CI: 0.30-10.07], p=0.08) in HRCT related with corticosteroid treatment response.
Conclusion: Our study suggests radiological features of fibrosis relate with worse clinical and radiological response to corticosteroid treatment. Prospective clinical trials are needed to clarify the role of immunosuppressive therapy in HP patients.

Early diagnosis of pediatric appendicitis is still difficult to make and 30-40% of cases do not show typical classic symptoms. The negative appendectomy rate and the risk of perforation reach 20% so that new, easy, inexpensive and accurate additional examination is needed. This study aimed to compare platelet distribution width (PDW) and mean platelet volume (MPV) values of appendicitis and control patients. This study is retrospective case control study. Differences in MPV and PDW levels in patients with appendicitis and controls were analyzed with a t-test and determination of sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of the two markers in appendicitis diagnosis were performed by ROC analysis The mean MPV appendicitis was significantly lower (p <0.05) compared to controls (8.3 ± 1.9; 9.2 ± 1.5) while PDW of appendicitis patients did not differ significantly from controls (10.4 ± 1, 4, 10.7 ± 2.4; p> 0.05). AUC MPV as a diagnostic tool for appendicitis 0.619 with a normal limit of 6.6 fl has a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 30%. MPV can be used for the diagnosis of appendicitis with a normal limit of 6.6 fl having a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 30%. There was no significant difference between PDW of appendicitis patients with controls. There was no significant difference between MPV levels of patients with simple appendicitis and complications.

Bacterial solutions are anticipated to be inactivated under absolute liquid negative pressures much lower in magnitude than positive ones. The pressures, however, have been hard to be produced by experiments because liquids form cavities easily through heterogeneous nucleation. To investigate the anticipation, solutions including two kinds of bacteria, namely Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli, were exposed to negative pressures repeatedly by a metal Berthelot tube which was designed newly. Then, numbers of colonies in bacteria which were cultured by a paper strip method and an agar dilute plate one were counted. Numbers of colonies which underwent negative pressures were less than those for non-treatment, and reduction rates of colonies increased with numbers of repetition.

Kaupapa Māori early years provision (KM-EYP) has underpinned efforts to revitalise Māori language and culture throughout Aotearoa New Zealand. Although many tamariki and whānau have benefited from engagement in KM-EYP, less than 20% of tamariki Māori currently participate. Kaupapa Māori psychological research is needed to better understand what facilitates participation among whānau who attend KM-EYP. This article describes findings from a study that aimed to understand whānau engagement in KM-EYP. An online survey was developed to test findings of an earlier qualitative phase of an overall study. The survey was completed by 121 parents/grandparents whose tamariki had attended one KM-EYP centre in Taranaki, at some stage, since it opened in 1994. This article reports on the top ranked motivations of whānau to enrol their tamariki in KM-EYP and the top ranked facilitators of, and barriers to, their engagement. The findings provide novel evidence about what impacts whānau participation and engagement in KM-EYP.

Global studies attest that early engagement with childbirth education (CBE) classes enhances maternal and infant health outcomes. In Aotearoa New Zealand, Māori participation rates in CBE classes are lower than those of their non-Māori counterparts. Current CBE classes are designed and delivered using a predominantly Western medicalised approach that negates Māori birthing knowledge, expertise, and values. However, sporadically, Kaupapa Māori CBE classes are being delivered. This article draws on a wider study that explores the Hapū Wānanga (HW) CBE programme, a by Māori, for Māori pregnancy and parenting initiative. This mixed-method interpretive study used retrospective post-course survey data of 1,152 participants over a three-year period from the HW based in the Waikato District Health Board region. Data explored the programme’s quality, the impact on levels of knowledge and understanding, and the overall experiences and views of participants. This artice interrogates the factors that shaped participation, engagement and acceptability of the HW for participants.
Cultural Pride: Exploring Indigenous athlete culture and wellbeing
Authors:   Auckland University of Technology, Enari Dion , Keung Sierra ,   Auckland University of Technology

Indigenous people are over-represented as professional players in many sporting codes, and recently a trend has developed whereby Indigenous athletes are choosing to play internationally for their heritage nations as opposed to the top-tier countries they reside in. With regard to rugby league and rugby union, many of these athletes are Pasifika who have had minimal exposure to their heritage nations, being born and raised in, for example, Aotearoa New Zealand, Australia or the United States. Nevertheless, this cohort is increasingly choosing to play for their heritage nations, despite the substantial cut in pay and available resources this decision entails. Throughout this commentary, these athletes are not viewed as mere individuals. Instead, we acknowledge their relationality—that is, the fact that they are intertwined in collective networks of family and nationhood. As researchers from the Pasifika community, we explore the factors which contribute to Pasifika athletes choosing to play for their heritage nations. By analysing the rise of Mate Ma‘a Tonga, Tonga’s national rugby league team, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of the cultural pride—the connection to family and heritage nation—that drives these athletes to play for this team, and the subsequent implications for wellbeing and performance.
