Authors:   ,   Rīga Stradiņš University, Dinsberga Jolanta
Published: December 2023

Property rights are one of the most important fundamental human rights. However, property rights can be restricted to protect the interests of society as a whole or of individuals. One of the restrictions on property rights is a servitude of right of way, in case of establishment of which the rights of one property owner are restricted for the benefit of another person or property owned by another person. The Doctoral Thesis is devoted to the study of the genesis of the institute of servitude of right of way from its beginnings to the present day, revealing the peculiarities of the legal regulation of the servitude of right of way in the Ancient Roman primary sources and its reflection and legal expression in the Civil Law, looking at its gradual development in different periods of time. The genesis of the development of the institute of servitude of right of way is viewed through the formative prism of the implementation of the rights of the dominant and servient property owners, ensuring proportionality and protection of interests, revealing the external legal and practical conditions affecting the interests of property owners, for example, the existing legal system in the country; government decisions made in the sector; amendments to the substantive and procedural legal norms affecting the institute of servitude of right of way; findings of judicial practice and their impact on solving problems related to servitudes of right of way and protecting the legal interests of owners in servitude cases. In the study, special attention is devoted to the research and analysis of the practical application of the legal norms governing the establishment and termination of servitudes of right of way. The aim of the Doctoral Thesis is to study the development of the legal regulation of the servitude of right of way, to evaluate the legal and practical aspects of the settlement of the interests of the owners of the dominant and servient properties, to identify theoretical and practical problems in order to develop proposals for the further improvement of the institute of servitude of right of way and to ensure the interests of the owners of the dominant and servient properties. 5.5 Law; Sub-Sector – Civil Rights.

Целью работы являлось определение уровня содержания ртути в мышечной ткани рыб устьевой области реки Красная в соответствии с их массой, районам обитания и типом питания. Исследование проводилось на реке Красная и ее водотоках устьевой области реки Красная в течение 2016-2021 гг. в период основных гидрологических сезонов (в период летнего половодья и зимней межени). Даны зависимости содержания ртути в мышечной ткани рыб от их массы, объектов питания и трофического положения в пищевой цепи. Ведущую роль в накоплении ртути в теле рыб играет тип питания. Показано, что в трофической сети экосистемы устьевой области реки Красная на более высоком трофическом уровне пищевой цепи уровень аккумуляции ртути был выше. Хищники характеризуются более интенсивным накоплением ртути (в 4-13 раз) в мышечной ткани по сравнению с мирными видами рыб. Наибольшие концентрации ртути в мышечной ткани были зафиксированы у хищников (0,851±0,105 мг/кг у пресноводного сома Clarias batrachus). Установлено превышение концентрации ртути в мышечной ткани змееголовова (Chama. Striata) и пресноводного сома (Clarias batrachus) в 1,3-1,85 раз по сравнению с нормой, установленной во Вьетнаме.

The aim of the work was to determine the levels of mercury in the muscle tissue offish in the estuary of the Red River in accordance with their mass, habitat and type of food. The study was conducted on the Red River and its watercourses in the estuary of the Red River during 2016-2021 years in the main hydrological seasons (the summer flood and winter low water). The dependences of the mercury content in the muscle tissue offish on their mass, food objects and trophic position in the food chain are given. The type offood plays a leading role in the accumulation of mercury in the body offish. It was shown that in the trophic of the ecosystem in the estuary of the Red River at a higher trophic level of the food chain, the level of mercury accumulation was higher. Predators contribute to a more intense accumulation of mercury (4-13 times) in muscle tissue compared to peaceful fish species. The highest concentrations of mercury in muscle tissue were recorded in predators (0,851±0,105 mg/kg in Walking Catfish Clarias batrachus). An excess of the concentration of mercury in the muscle tissue of the striped snakehead (Channa Striata) and Walking Catfish (Clarias batrachus) in 1,3-1,85 times compared to the norm in Vietnam.

A comparative study between the two methods GM6.IDRGP(RMVN) and the GM6 method for analyzing the multiple linear regression model in the presence of outliers using the simulation method.
Authors: Yaqub Farhan , Aziz Tariq
Published: December 2023

Multiple linear regression is one of the most widely used statistical analysis methods in many scientific fields. Its parameters are estimated based on the ordinary least squares method. Which gives the best unbiased linear estimate if its assumptions are met. The most important of these assumptions is that it has a normal distribution of error with a mean of zero and a constant variance. If the data does not meet certain assumptions, the sample estimates and results may be misleading. The linear regression model is sensitive to the appearance of outliers and leverage points. Therefore, statistical techniques have been developed capable of dealing with or detecting outliers. This led to the emergence of many alternative methods to the OLS method, such as M-Huber, s, LTS, and MM, which have high efficiency and breakdown points, but are affected by HLPs, which result in the problem of Masking and Swamping. The GM6 method is one of the methods that was developed in order to treat such problems through the use of a weight function, but the weight function depends on the individual diagnosis, which gives inaccurate results. In order to overcome this problem, comprehensive diagnostic methods have been proposed, such as the DRGP and IDRGP.RMVN methods. Therefore, in this study, we proposed to employ the IDRGP.RMVN method in the GM6 method algorithm. And comparing it with some hippocampal regression methods through a simulation study in determining the best methods.

Published: December 2023

Aim: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition more common in boys than girls, although this gender variation has yet to be explained. The purpose of this study was to examine hand 2D:4D ratios and their association with ADHD. The study was also intended to compare hand 2D:4D ratios according to hand and foot dominance in individuals with ADHD.

Methods: 168 children were included in the study, 91 diagnosed with ADHD and 77 healthy volunteers. All participants were evaluated via DSM-5 based psychiatric examinations, and their sociodemographic data were collected using forms prepared by the authors. The participants’ ADHD symptoms were assessed using the Conners’ Parent Rating Scale-Revised Short Form. 2D:4D ratios were determined by measuring the lengths of the bilateral second and fourth fingers using a digital compass. Hand and foot dominances were determined by evaluation in a clinical setting. The scores obtained were then compared.

Results: Lower right and left hand 2D:4D ratios were determined in the individuals with ADHD than in the healthy controls (p=0.001 for both). No correlation was found between ADHD subscales and right or left hand 2D:4D ratios in the case group. No differences in 2D:4D ratios were also observed according to hand and foot dominances in the case group.

Conclusion: This study produced important findings concerning whether hand 2D:4D ratios can be used as a marker of ADHD. We think that the data obtained may be of assistance to other studies assessing the phenotype characteristics of individuals with ADHD.

Liposomes are the initially introduced nano targeted drug delivery systems that have been successfully transferred and commercialized due to its high therapeutic index by its clinical applications. Liposomes are colloidal spheres that contain cholesterol, non-toxic surfactants, sphingolipids, glycolipids, long-chain fatty acids, and even membrane proteins and medicinal compounds. These are the most often employed drug delivery vehicles due to their size and amphiphilic characteristics. Drugs that are therapeutically active can be delivered easily using liposomes, including tiny compounds and macromolecules like proteins, peptides, and genes. These range from 25-1000 nm. It used for the administration of various types of drugs and the active substance to treat various diseases by targeting the site. It involves the mechanism of targeting the site without affecting the other cells that is majorly useful in the treatment of cancer. The major advantages of the liposome application are the protection of active compounds from degradation; the increase in circulation time and the possibility to achieve partial or total selectivity. The regulatory aspects are developed over time are described, followed by the lipid family, vesicular drug carrier systems. This review discusses briefly about liposomes and its advantages, disadvantages, types, methods of preparation with its evaluation and the regulatory aspects of the new drug and generic drugs.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive cognitive decline. Early detection and accurate screening of AD are crucial for timely interventions and improved patient outcomes. Various screening instruments have been developed to aid in the identification of individuals at risk of AD. However, the comparative accuracy of these instruments has not been thoroughly assessed. Aim: This study aims to evaluate and compare the accuracy of different screening instruments used for the detection of AD. Method: A PRISMA selection was used to identify studies across electronic database such as PubMed and Google scholar from up until February 4, 2023.A total of 5 studies evaluating neuropsychological assessment such as, Mini-mental state examination (MMSE), Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), and clinical dementia rate (CDR) between patients with AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and healthy control (HC). Meta-analysis was performed by Rev-Man 5.4. Result: The studies included a total number of 1,177 individuals, 398 were in the AD group,409 in MCI and 370 in HC group. The cognitive function assessed by the meta-analysis revealed AD with lesser MMSE (P < 0.00001), MoCA (P < 0.00001), when compared to MCI. But CDR score was decrease with MCI (P < 0.00001). In addition, AD showed a lesser MSSE (P < 0.00001), CDR (P < 0.00001), and MoCA (P < 0.00001), scores when compared to HC. Conclusion: The findings indicate that individuals with AD exhibit lower scores in MMSE, MoCA, and CDR compared to those with MCI and HC.

Authors: Rigo Pietro , Dal Cin Martina
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the potential suprasegmental linguistic influence of Italian Sign Language (LIS) over spoken Italian in bimodal bilinguals. It focuses on the grammatical Non-Manual Markers (NMMs) of LIS occurring with the vocal production of wh- and polar questions, and conditional sentences in two groups: bimodal bilinguals and monolinguals. The results show a significantly higher level of NMMs in the bilingual group in all the structures, suggesting LIS linguistic influence over spoken Italian, probably due to the partial overlapping enabled by the different linguistic modalities (visual-manual modality vs. vocal-acoustic modality).

Authors: Zamora Becerra Leidy Vanesa , Moreno Carrillo María Angélica , Ramírez Luis Eduardo
Published: December 2023

La incidencia de infección por micobacterias no tuberculosas (MNT) y el número de casos han ido en aumento, especialmente en mujeres y personas mayores, teniendo en los Estados Unidos entre el 2008 y 2015 una incidencia de 4.16 a 6.69 por 100000 entre las mujeres y de 12.70 a 18.37 por 100000, entre los mayores de 65 años (1). “Los pacientes con compromiso estructural del parénquima pulmonar, antecedente de inmunosupresión o inmunodeficiencia tienen mayor riesgo de desarrollar infección por MNT”. Sin embargo, se han presentado informes de pacientes inmunocompetentes en asociación con opacidades nodulares y bronquiectasias (2).
Se trata de una mujer de 79 años con antecedente de tuberculosis pulmonar documentada en dos oportunidades: último proceso infeccioso en el año 2021. Recibió manejo por seis meses de esquema vigente con tetraconjugado. Actualmente acude a consulta con cuadro clínico de más de seis meses de evolución dados por pérdida de peso de más del 10 % en un año, disnea a moderados esfuerzos y tos con expectoración purulenta. Al examen físico se encontró índice de masa corporal (IMC) bajo, tórax hipoexpansible con estertores tipo crépitos en ambos hemitórax. En la tomografía de tórax se evidenciaron bronquiectasias generalizadas, algunas áreas de árbol en gemación y lesiones cavitadas. Se consideró la realización de fibrobroncoscopia con lavado broncoalveolar documentándose baciloscopias negativas, con cultivo positivo para micobacteria no tuberculosa. Se solicitó tipificación de micobacterias con coloración de Kinyoun, y pruebas bioquímicas a partir de cepas de cultivo del lavado broncoalveolar, con reporte positivo para Mycobacterium intracellulare. Se inició por lo tanto manejo con azitromicina 500 mg, rifampicina 600 mg y etambutol 975 mg diarios. Los profesionales sanitarios deben ser conscientes de la posible infección por MNT sobre todo existiendo afectación estructural pulmonar previa, basando el tratamiento en la sospecha clínica y/o las circunstancias epidemiológicas.

Authors: Casas Cortés Diana Paola , Luengo Hernández Carolina del Carmen , Páez Espinel Nelson , Giraldo Cadavid Luis Fernando
Published: December 2023

La reducción broncoscópica de volumen pulmonar (RBVP) con válvulas endobronquiales (VEB) es una terapia para pacientes con diagnóstico de enfermedad pulmonar obstructiva crónica (EPOC) avanzada, con características clínicas y funcionales de hiperinflación que conlleva a síntomas persistentes (1). Es una intervención menos invasiva que ha reportado mejoras en la función pulmonar, la disnea y la calidad de vida con menos morbilidad y mortalidad asociada, en comparación con la reducción quirúrgica. La selección precisa de los pacientes es la clave. En general, debe considerarse en pacientes con los siguientes criterios: Medical Research Council modificado (mMRC > 2) o la prueba de evaluación de la EPOC (puntuación CAT > 10); prueba de caminata 6 min (6MWT) >100 m <450m; volumen espiratorio forzado en un segundo (FEV1) postbroncodilatador del 20 al 45 % del predicho: capacidad pulmonar total (TLC) >100 %; volumen residual (RV) >175 % del predicho y la capacidad de difusión de monóxido de carbono (DLCO) del 20 % del predicho. Que tengan una terapia farmacológica óptima, garantizar la abstinencia al dejar de fumar y la participación en rehabilitación pulmonar (Tabla 1). Para garantizar el éxito del procedimiento es importante asegurar la ausencia de ventilación colateral (VC) entre los lóbulos tratados e ipsilaterales. Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente de 71 años con diagnóstico de EPOC y enfisema severo con un mMRC de 2/4 asociado a compromiso funcional, cumpliendo con criterios de inclusión y exclusión explicados anteriormente. Se lleva a procedimiento bajo anestesia general, se procede a verificación de VC con catéter de Chartis, para lo cual se inserta catéter en el bronquio del lóbulo superior izquierdo (zona recomendada según reporte tomográfico). Se insufla el balón hasta conseguir oclusión completa (Figura 2), observando curvas de flujo y presión de la vía aérea, con disminución y posterior ausencia de flujo e incremento de la presión negativa en la vía aérea compatible con integridad de la cisura; se concluye prueba negativa para ventilación colateral (Figura 3). A continuación, se implantan cinco válvulas de los siguientes tamaños: segmento LB1-2: dos válvulas Zephyr número 4; segmento LB3: dos válvulas Zephyr número 4; segmento LB 4-5: una válvula Zephyr número 5; total de válvulas implantadas: cuatro válvulas No. 4 y una válvula No. 5 (Figuras 4, 5 y 6). Se deja en observación en la unidad de cuidado intensivos según protocolo de manejo institucional; completa 48 horas de vigilancia para posterior egreso, con los subsiguientes controles de función pulmonar. Este caso apoya la reciente sugerencia de que la RBVP con la implantación de válvulas Zephyr puede ser un tratamiento alternativo exitoso para pacientes con enfisema severo, seleccionados apropiadamente.

A form of rural tourism in expansion is horse tourism. Equitourism is a form of hiking that allows for an intimate and natural use of landscapes and local territories. Equestrian tourism today no longer represents a small elite market niche, as it has become a true form of pastime for an increasing number of users. Trail planning and management need to consider the changes that are already occurring, as well as those that are predicted to lie ahead. The key trends that are expected to have an impact on recreational horse trail planning and management are highlighted in this research. Many of these trends have been emerging over decades and have rapidly increased due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. In recent years, in many Italian regions, especially in Tuscany, thanks to the enhancement of the Tuscan equestrian routes, projects for the promotion of equestrian tourism have been developed. In this work the methodology applied was based on the identification of an appropriate database created in the GIS context and specifically coded for equestrian tourism. The aim is to guarantee the creation of an innovative and functional product to meet the needs of this sustainable tourism sector, providing information capable of facilitating the end user, who, through their GPS, georeferenced images and maps, will have the possibility of planning and traveling the horse trail in complete safety. The final result of this research (the first case study in Italy) is the creation of a modern and complete information database of a horse trail that can be managed using GIS.

Адаптивний потенціал рослини є важливою селекційною ознакою, що сприяє сталому розвитку сільського господарства та отриманню стабільних урожаїв. Високі показники екологічної пластичності та стабільності соняшнику дозволяють отримувати стабільні та якісні урожаї навіть в умовах різких змін клімату. Основною метою дослідження було вивчення показників екологічної пластичності та стабільності генотипів соняшнику кондитерського напряму використання Лакомка, Люкс, Мир, Донський Крупноплідний і Щелкунчик. Завданням дослідження було провести оцінку формування основних структурних елементів урожайності досліджуваних генотипів в умовах Лівобережного Лісостепу України. Дослідження проводили за методикою державного сортовипробування, а розрахунок екологічної пластич-ності та стабільності сортів за методикою Eberthart & Russel з обчисленням лінійної регресії (bi) та індексу умов середовища (Ij). Встановлено, що за ознакою висоти рослини сортів Щелкунчик, Лакомка, Люкс та Мир в середньому протягом дослідження не мали суттєвих відмінностей та знаходилися у межах 180 ±22,7–185±27,1 см відповідно, а найвищим показником характеризувався сорт Донський Крупноплідний 230±40,8 см. Водночас, була відмічена сильна від’ємна кореляція (r= -0,86) ознаки висоти рослини з вмістом олії у насінні, показники якої були в середньому за роки у межах 40,3±2,9–45,4 ±0,9 %. За результатами польових досліджень у період 2018–2021 рр., встановлені високі показники урожайності сортів Лакомка, Люкс, Донський Крупноплідний і Щелкунчик у межах 47,3–36,8 ц/га і маси 1000 насінин на рівні 108±27,0–99±22,8 г та позитивної кореляційної залежності між ознаками r= 0,93 відповідно. За проведеними розрахунками екологічної пластичності встановлено, що сорти Щелкунчик Лакомка та Донський Крупноплідний (bi= 1,72; 1,41; 1,14), слід вирощувати за інтенсивних технологій, сорти Люкс і Мир (bi= 0,36) за екстенсивними. Серед досліджуваної вибірки генотипів сортів за ознакою екологічної стабільності був відмічений сорт Лакомка з індексом σd²= 6,4.

Background: The corona virus disease (COVID 19) Pandemic has had a global impact on health care. Patients with cancer have been affected by the COVID 19 Pandemic and faced various psychosocial problems.

Materials and Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study on title “Problems Faced by Cancer Patients due to COVID 19 at Tertiary Cancer Hospital, Chitwan, Nepal” was conducted at B.P. Koirala Memorial Cancer Hospital, Chitwan to assess problems faced by cancer patients. Non- probability purposive sampling technique was used to select the sample and sample size was 50. Data was collected by using structured interview schedule and distress thermometer.

Findings: In this research 50 respondents were included for the study. Among them 72% respondents faced treatment related problems where 27.7% respondents faced unavailability of chemo medicine, nearly half of respondents (48%) faced the transportation related problems and unavailability of transportation service was the key transportation problems faced by 58.3% respondents. Similarly, nearly half of the (46%) faced the accommodation problems and more than two fifth (42%) had economic related problems during COVID 19 pandemic situation.

Conclusion: Cancer patients have faced several problems during COVID 19 pandemic such as unavailability of chemo medicine, treatment delay, lack of transportation services, accommodation problem, financial problems and psychological distress. So, cancer hospital should make strategic planning of health care services by means of alternative solutions like telemedicine, home-based palliative care services, and ensuring the availability of essential cancer drugs.

Published: December 2023

Background:

Knowledge of time to positivity (TTP) for blood cultures is useful to assess timing of discontinuation of empiric antimicrobials for suspected bacteremia with no focus.

Methods:

An audit of positive blood cultures from the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario (CHEO) from November 1, 2019, to October 31, 2020, was performed to determine TTP, defined as the start of incubation to a positive signal from automated incubators.

Results:

Three hundred seventy-six positive blood cultures were identified from 248 patients (average age: 6.27 [SD 6.24] years). Of these, 247 isolates were speciated; 90 (36.4%) were definitive/probable (DP) pathogens (median TTP 12.75 hours) and 157 (63.6%) possible/probable (PP) contaminants (median TTP 24.08 hours). At each time point, the adjusted rate of positive blood culture was significantly higher for DP pathogens compared to PP contaminants (hazard ratio [HR] 1.80 [95% CI 1.37, 2.36]) and for children ≤27 days old compared to the oldest age group (HR 1.94 [95% CI 1.19, 3.17]). By 36 hours, the proportion of positive cultures was significantly higher in the youngest age group (≤27 days) compared with the 3–11 years old age group (91.7% [95% CI 68.6%, 97.8%] versus 58.2% [95% CI 46.91%, 68.06%]).

Conclusion:

Across all ages, the TTP was significantly shorter for blood cultures with DP pathogens compared to those with PP contaminants (HR 1.80 [95% CI 1.37, 2.36]). In newborns, 90% of blood cultures were positive by 36 hours supporting this re-assessment time for empiric antimicrobials. TTP was longer in children ≥12 months, possibly related to other factors such as blood culture volume.

Published: December 2023

In modern India, the Hindutva ideology, which many researchers call the Hindu nationalism, occupies a leading position. It is actively promoted by such organizations as the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which has been in power since 2014, not only within India, but also abroad, primarily in countries with a large-size Indian diaspora. The involvement of diaspora plays a crucial role in the consolidation of Indian society along religious lines, which is emphasized by these organizations. The work of spreading of the Hindutva is complex, and this will be discussed in this article. The main attention is paid to the activities and activities of Hindu nationalist organizations abroad, the main reasons for their work being to consolidate the Indian diaspora and involve it in their ideology. The purpose of the article is to show the level of activity of these organizations outside the territory of India and their methods of work abroad. The study used materials from the official websites of these organizations and their foreign branches, as well as allied organizations that are not involved in political activities. They are the main sources of research. Some of these organizations have not yet been studied in Russian historiography. Studying the activities of organizations that promote Hindutva outside of India allows one to gain a deeper understanding of the ideology of Hindu nationalism, the methods of its spreading and the reasons for strengthening its political positions.

Obesity and eating disorders: an interactive and complex coexistence
Authors: Dalle Grave Riccardo
Published: December 2023

Obesity is the medical condition most frequently observed in people with eating disorders. It often coexists with binge-eating disorder and with some cases of bulimia nervosa, night eating syndrome, and atypical anorexia nervosa. Obesity can precede the onset of eating disorders, sometimes representing a risk factor for their onset, or can be in part the consequence of recurrent binge-eating episodes. Eating disorders and obesity, when they coexist, tend to interact negatively with each other and make treatment more problematic. Weight loss is always contraindicated when obesity coexists with bulimia nervosa and atypical anorexia nervosa. Still, it is not contraindicated when it coexists with binge-eating disorder or night eating syndrome. However, the weight loss outcome with current treatments is often unsatisfactory. A potential strategy to improve this poor outcome is an integrated treatment combining the new incretin-based medications for the treatment of obesity with enhanced cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) of binge-eating disorder and CBT of obesity.
