Determinants of Female Health Workers’ Attitude Toward Spouses’ use of Vasectomy for Family Planning
Authors: Menuba Ifeanyi E. , Asimadu Eric E. , Nweze Sylvester O.
Published: December 2022

Background:

Vasectomy is an effective and safe surgical method of male contraception. It is simpler than female tubal ligation and has fewer complications.

Objective:

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of selected demographic characteristics on female health workers’ attitudes to spouses’ use of vasectomy for birth control

Materials and Methods:

This was a cross-sectional study of female health workers in two tertiary health institutions in Enugu, Southeast Nigeria. Data were collected using a pretested structured self-administered questionnaire. Data were collected on sociodemographic characteristics and attitudes toward vasectomy.

Results:

Two hundred and ninety female health workers completed the questionnaire. The mean age of participants was 32.26 ± 9.39 years. Approximately 66.6% of the women were less than 35 years and 53.1% were married. Only 21.0% of the respondents would encourage their spouses or partners to undergo vasectomy after they have had their desired number of children. Half of the women (50.0%) would prefer to have their tubes tied (tubal ligation) and 63.1% had never discussed vasectomy with their spouses or partners. Younger women (<35 years) were significantly more likely to encourage their spouses/partners to have a vasectomy (odds ratio [OR] 2.1289; P = 0.0231). However, ever-married women (OR 0.1296; P = 0.0000) and women who have had children (OR 0.1767; P = 0.0000) were significantly less likely to do the same. Nurses were more likely to encourage their spouses to undertake vasectomy compared to doctors (OR 2.4750; P = 0.0041).

Conclusion:

Vasectomy is not widely accepted among our female health workers; only a fifth of them would encourage their spouses/partners to have a vasectomy.

Published: December 2022

Acquired gynatresia resulting from traumatic vaginal delivery is rare. The use of bilateral pudendal flaps for reconstruction provides sensate tissue for a functional neovagina. Reconstruction of the vagina after complete stenosis from birth trauma has not widely been reported. We present a 29-year-old woman who developed vaginal stenosis within 2 months after vaginal delivery of a stillbirth baby. There was a failure of coitus for approximately 5 months before presentation. She had successful vaginal reconstruction with pudendal flaps and became pregnant twice through coitus after surgery. Her baby was delivered via Caesarean section. We have reported a case where the vagina was successfully reconstructed with bilateral pudendal thigh flaps which resulted in subsequent spontaneous (unassisted) pregnancies.

Published: December 2022

Purpose We investigated the effects of economic status (classified based on insurance type and residential area) on oncological outcomes of prostate cancer using a nationwide database. We additionally investigated oncological outcomes based on economic status and residential area in patients who underwent surgical treatment.Materials and Methods The study included 75,518 men with newly diagnosed prostate cancer between 2009 and 2018 in whom oncological outcomes were investigated based on economic status and residential area. Among the 75,518 men with prostate cancer, the data of 29,973 men who underwent radical prostatectomy were further analyzed. Multivariate analysis was performed to determine the effects of economic status and residential area on postoperative oncological outcomes.Results Among the 75,518 patients with prostate cancer, 3,254 (4.31%) were medical aid beneficiaries. The 5-year overall survival rates were 81.2% and 64.8% in the health insurance and medical aid groups, respectively. Radical prostatectomy was more common in the health insurance group, and surgical intervention was significantly affected by the residential area. Among patients who underwent surgery, 5-year androgen deprivation therapy–free and overall survival were better in the health insurance group. Multivariate analysis showed that insurance type and residential area were significantly associated with the androgen deprivation therapy–free and overall survival after adjustment for other variables.Conclusion Economic status and residential area were shown to affect not only treatment patterns but also post-diagnosis and postoperative oncological outcomes. Political support for early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of prostate cancer is warranted for medically vulnerable populations.

Published: December 2022

It is critical to estimate the location using only Long‐Term Evolution (LTE) and Wi‐Fi information gathered by the user's smartphone and deployable for emergency rescue, regardless of whether the Global Positioning System is received. In this research, we used a vehicle to gather LTE and Wi‐Fi wireless signals over a large area for an extended period of time. After that, we used the learning technique to create a positioning database that included both collection and noncollection points. We presented a two‐step positioning algorithm that utilizes coarse localization to discover a rough location in a wide area rapidly and fine localization to estimate a particular location based on the coarse position. We confirmed our technology utilizing different sorts of devices in four regional types that are generally encountered: dense urban, urban, suburban, and rural. Results presented that our algorithm can satisfactorily achieve the target accuracy necessary in emergency rescue circumstances.

Authors: Kojima Noah , Ross Jesse , Tymchuk Christopher
Published: December 2022

We conducted a survey on the health and safety of medical trainees who participated in a short-term international clinical elective at a large academic training institution. We distributed an anonymous 28-question online survey via e-mail to the 142 participants available who, together, completed 185 international clinical electives. Of the 142 participants sent an anonymous survey, we received 68 responses (response rate, 48%). Of the respondents, 41 (61%) reported experiencing some form of illness. Of those, two respondents (5%) reported seeking care from a medical physician. The most commonly reported adverse health events were diarrhea (n = 32, 48.5%); fever (n = 13, 19.4%); a cough, cold, or flu-like illness (n = 9, 13.4%); and vomiting (n = 7, 13.6%). There were no reported needlestick injuries or motor vehicle accidents, and none of the reported adverse health events led to hospitalization or early termination of the elective. Four participants (5.9%) reported concerns of personal property and two (2.9%) were victims of a robbery. Two participants (2.9%) reported concerns of physical safety; however, no one reported being a victim of physical assault. Although the majority of respondents reported experiencing some form of illness, the vast majority were minor and self-limited in nature. Further studies are needed to assess problems related to mental health on international rotations and whether interventions could be used to decrease the rates of illness among participants of short-term international clinical electives.

Question(Ing) Strategies in British Political News Interviews: Grilling The Interlocutors as a Strategic Weapon
Authors: Szczepańska-Włoch Joanna
Published: December 2022

Every dialogue is constrained by a rigid framework, which manifests itself in its linear character (an initial-continuation-counter move structure or a question-answer relationship and dismissal-argumentation order of dialogue), and which illustrates the functional dependencies between sentences or sequences of sentences. The following study focuses on the discourse-pragmatic notion of the interviewer’s text-forming strategies, and, in particular, the question-answer relationship of political news interviews in Great Britain. Attention is focused on the questioning strategies employed by Andrew Marr in The Andrew Marr Show. Various types of questions within epistemic logic, which act as the strategic repertoire of the participants in dialogue games (Carlson 1983), are examined. The list of question types includes indirect and direct questions, where the former refer to sentential (yes-no), search (wh-questions), conditional, alternative, tag, ellipted, disjunctive or conjunctive questions (as instances of multiple questions), and the latter to questions presupposing the accomplishment of the specific epistemic state. Andrew Marr, as a dominant participant in this dialogue game, at least with reference to his role that presupposes topic control (selection and change of topics), will use this strategic weapon to influence the politicians’ performance and make them account for their political actions.

Rośliny w rodzinie. Ekokrytyczne możliwości wierszy Joanny Pollakówny
Authors: Jarzyna Anita
Published: December 2022

Plants in the Family. The Ecocritical Potential of Joanna Pollakówna’s Poems The focus of this paper are the Joanna Pollakówna’s poems (especially the titular work from the volume Dziecko-drzewo / Child-Tree), which intuitively anticipate the exploration of the ontology of the dead body presented in Ewa Domańska’s Nekros; they speak of the posthumous existence of human remains, of their life-giving potential for the earth in which they are deposited as well as for the plants (especially trees) that will grow from them. The proposed interpretation attempts to bring out the revolutionary dimension of these texts against the background of Christian and literary traditions. The article distinguishes between the interlocking problem fields crucial for a non-anthropocentric reading of Pollakówna’s works, which includes the meta-poetic dimension of the texts, the circle of post-secular associations and the connotations inscribed into familial metaphors indicating that suggestions of interspecies affinities with plants may be taken literally. All of this allows us to arrive at a postulate of protection that resonates with Pollakówna’s other works devoted to trees.
An Unrecognised Face of Literary Modernism (Joanna Rzepa, Modernism and Theology: Rainer Maria Rilke, T.S. Eliot, Czesław Miłosz, Palgrave Studies in Modern European Literature, Palgrave Macmillan, Cham 2021, pp. 438)
Authors: Ward Jean
Published: December 2022

A close, and sometimes polemical, reading of Joanna Rzepa’s study Modernism and Theology: Rainer Maria Rilke, T.S. Eliot, Czesław Miłosz reveals the cognitive fruitfulness of a comparativist perspective in considering the nature of the relationship between theological and literary modernisms in a broad European context that, through Rilke, even takes on the Russian Orthodoxy. The article shows how in the British context, in which 1922 is a key year for literature, the once clear connection between modernist concerns in theology and literature has been largely forgotten. In Polish literature in turn – since modernism is generally equated with the “Young Poland” movement around the turn of the twentieth century and thus coincides with the most heated period of the modernist controversy in the Catholic Church – the connection is more obvious. In discussing the questions raised by Rzepa’s study, the author is led to reflect on how the substance of historical modernist – anti-modernist debates, as well as their rhetoric, continues to be of importance in the present day, in certain respects very disturbingly so.

The Categories of Time and Musical Form in Paweł Mykietyn’s Concerto No. 2 for Cello and Symphony Orchestra The paper supplements the research on the latest Paweł Mykietyn's work. It broadens the spectrum of problems related to the technique of deconstruction in his works and allows for a better understanding of the structure of the Concerto No. 2 for cello and symphony orchestra. The main research method is descriptive analysis, bringing Paweł Mykietyn's musical language closer to the harmonic material, textural systems, agogic-metric structures, and the concept of form. The analysis is based on the score of the 2nd Concerto for Cello and Symphony Orchestra, published in 2019 by the PWM Edition in Kraków. The structure of the paper includes: introduction, three paragraphs and a summary. The characteristics of Paweł Mykietyn’s work contained in the introduction will allow the reader to become familiar with stylistic tendencies at various stages of the composer's work. The section devoted to the genesis and reception aims to present the history of the creation of the analysed work, as well as its contexts and resonance. The analytical sketch in the context of the issues of time and form will allow to present selected aspects of the compositional technique.

Opportunities for people with disabilities to participate in the virtual world and use its resources

A blind or deaf person, despite their enormous intellectual potential, is limited by their disabilities in many areas of social functioning. One of the difficulties is communicating with other people. For these people, an alternative are new information technologies, which, depending on their age, enable independent communication regardless of the place, time and form of communication. This text provides knowledge about modern technological solutions and their availability for children, adolescents and adults in their everyday life. He points to the role of new information technologies in meeting the social needs of people with disabilities. He cites WCAG 2.0 guidelines on ensuring network accessibility for people with disabilities in accordance with the procedures of the W3C Consortium.
Collective Agreements in Poland in the Light of International Labour Standards
Authors: Hajn Zbigniew
Published: December 2022

The paper presents the concept of the collective agreement, trade union representativeness, and the subjective scope of collective agreements in Polish law in the light of international labour law. In the author’s opinion, a better adaptation of the Polish legislation relating to agreements between the social partners on working conditions to international standards by classifying as collective agreements all agreements concluded by representative trade union organisations would remove disputes and uncertainty about their legal effects and would contribute to increasing the scope of collective bargaining. A modification of the provisions on work and pay company regulations would also serve this purpose. In addition, the author suggests changes in the provisions extending the personal scope of collective agreements to workers performing work outside the employment relationship by separating the group of solo self-employed workers belonging to the “grey area”between employees and self-employed workers and extending to them the full effects of concluding an agreement.

On the assistance in taking up employment in the context of an public servants’ relationship under the Act on Employment Promotion and Labour Market Institutions

The Act of 20 April 2004 on the Promotion of Employment and Labour Market Institutions provides for assistance in taking up the employment in the context of a public servants’relationship. However, this subject raises many problems of interpretation, but also controversy, arising from the comparison of the specific construction features of the public service employment relationships with the economic situation of the unemployed person. This problem, which is only hinted at in the doctrine of labour law, seems to have been completely ignored by the legislature, which, during the almost 20-year period of validity of the Employment Promotion Act and Labour Market Institutions, overlooked the matters mentioned in spite of numerous and far-reaching amendments to the Act. The aim of the study is therefore to identify the main uncertainties of interpretation in the application of its rules on support for taking up employment in the public service relationship and to formulate the claims de lege ferenda.
Is the Existing Model of Preventing the Abuse of Fixed-Term Employment Contracts in Poland and Germany Sufficient in the Face of the COVID-19 Pandemic?
Authors: Moras-Olaś Kinga
Published: December 2022

The need to prevent the abuse of fixed-term employment contracts, having its legal basis in the framework agreement on fixed-term work, implemented by Council Directive 99/70/EC, may have been weakened by the tendency to become more flexible in the face of the socio-economic conditions related to the coronavirus pandemic. From the point of view of an employee, it is important to be employed under an employment contract, ultimately for an indefinite period. Long-term employment on a temporary contract is associated with the phenomenon of precarization of employment and leads to segmentation in the labour market. The purpose of this paper is to answer the questions of whether the state of pandemic affects in some way the possibility of concluding fixed-term employment contracts, in particular whether it can constitute an objective reason justifying the conclusion of such an employment contract.

This study aims to determine the influence of self-efficacy, perceived organizational support, and Islamic work ethics on turnover intention with organizational commitment as moderation at PT. X Semarang. This research is quantitative research using primary data sources. The population in this study found 278 employees. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, while the sample size is calculated using the Slovin formula so that the number of samples is 75 employees. This research uses multiple regression analysis with the moderated regression analysis (MRA) test. The results of this study are that self-efficacy (SE) positively and significantly affects turnover intention (TI). Perceived organizational support (POS) negatively and significantly affects TI. Islamic work ethic (IWE) negatively and significantly affects TI. Organizational commitment (OC) cannot moderate SE on TI. OC cannot moderate POS on TI. OC cannot moderate IWE on TI. This study provides a new perspective, namely from the employee’s point of view psychologically, the company can be used as a reference to reduce the turnover rate at PT. X Semarang. Specifically, regarding what factors need to be addressed so that the employee turnover rate can be reduced, this study can also reduce turnover rates by increasing perceived organizational support and the employee’s Islamic work ethic.
Sosyal Yardımların Yaşlı Refahı Üzerindeki Etkisi
Authors: DURMAZ BODUR Nursel
Published: December 2022

Yaşlı refahı; bireylerin aktif, sağlıklı ve kendi kendine yetebilen düzeyde nitelikli bir yaşlılık süreci geçirme düzeylerini göstermektedir. Ancak yaşlı refahının çok boyutlu bir kavram olması ölçülebilmesini de güçleştirmektedir. Bu noktada Küresel Yaşlanma İzlem Endeksi (KYİE) yaşlı refahına ilişkin önemli göstergeler içermektedir. Bu göstergeler; gelir güvencesi, sağlık durumu, kapasite/yapabilirlik ve yaşlıların bağımsız bir şekilde işlev görebilmeleri için gerekli olan uygun çevresel koşullardır. Yoksulluk, yaşlı refahını olumsuz yönde etkileyen en önemli faktörlerden bir tanesidir. Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de sosyal yardımların, yaşlı refahı üzerindeki etkisini ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Analizler, TÜİK tarafından gerçekleştirilen 2020 yılının Gelir ve Yaşam Koşulları Araştırması mikro veri seti aracılığıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada betimsel istatistikler ve göreli yoksulluk hesaplamalarına yer verilmiştir. Çalışmada yaşlı refahı göstergeleri, KYİE temel alınarak oluşturulmuştur. Araştırma sonucunda sosyal yardımların yaşlı yoksulluğu üzerinde 0,6 puanlık bir iyileştirme sağladığı görülmüştür. Bunun yanında sosyal yardımların yaşlı bireylerin tatile gidebilme, sağlıklı beslenebilme, uygun çevresel koşullara erişebilme durumlarına ve kapasite/yapabilirlik düzeylerine olumlu bir etkisinin olmadığı görülmüştür. Böylelikle sosyal yardımların, yaşlı bireylerin ekonomik refah düzeyini kısıtlı da olsa arttırdığı, ancak bu durumun genel refah düzeyleri üzerinde olumlu bir etki yaratabilmek için yetersiz kaldığı ortaya çıkmıştır.

Authors: Fittipaldi Jr Horacio Mario , Ribeiro Gondim Livia , Nunes Rocha Leticia
Published: December 2022

In these days, lipoabdominoplasty is an increasingly common surgery, but it is not free from complications, some of them serious which can lead to deaths with unclear causes. In the case of a fatal outcome, the practice of necropsy is used to elucidate cases of deaths of undefined causes. Fat embolism secondary to intraoperative surgical procedures is found to be the main reason for some of these deaths, such as those described in this report. Forensic expertise is an essential investigative step in understanding the causality of possible malpractice of some surgeons in aesthetic procedures and the outcome of undetermined causes of death.

Traditional standards and security protocols are recognized as unable to solve the security, privacy, and availability of services of the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) ecosystem, especially during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Blockchain technology has then emerged as a distributed ledger technology that can manage many intelligent transactions and ensure greater security in data management. The Blockchain-based security mechanisms with specific adaptation and additional layers of authentication and verification can offer a complete resources' management system. It has demonstrated it’s superlatively as the core component of the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. In this paper, we propose a ThreeTier Blockchain Architecture in a hierarchical clustering network, with a lightweight authentication system-based API Gateway model that provides network and communication security. Reasonable implementation is proposed and the obtained results demonstrate that our approach shows satisfactory performances in terms of transfer time, energy consumption, and CPU impacts. The traffic analysis also shows that the proposed model can meet the requested security, integrity, and confidentiality of user data.
Methodological advances to improve repeatability of SOA generation in environmental chambers
Authors: Flueckiger Austin C. , Petrucci Giuseppe A.
Published: December 2022

Abstract. Most laboratory atmospheric chamber studies probing the chemical and physical properties of secondary organic aerosol (SOA) perform such experiments with mixing ratios of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) well-above atmospheric relevance (≳50 ppbv). When performing ozonolysis of biogenic VOCs at mixing ratios of atmospheric relevance (≲10 ppbv), repeatability of replicate experiments is hindered by the limitations of conventional VOC injection techniques. To overcome these limitations, two novel components (stop/flow and split valves) were embedded in a conventional VOC injection setup, thereby permitting the use of higher VOC volumes of injection to attain low VOC mixing ratios, and the delivery of the VOC to the environmental chamber as a short, discrete pulse for subsequent reaction. Implementation of these novel VOC injection components has resulted in improvements in variability between replicate chamber experiments of up to a factor of 7 with respect to particle number, mass, and size distributions at both high and low VOC mixing ratios (50 and 10 ppbv, respectively). These improvements permit extension of quantitative measurements of SOA formation to VOC mixing ratios at or near atmospheric levels, where new particle formation (NPF) and SOA mass loading are typically within experimental variability.
A new daily gridded precipitation dataset based on gauge observations across mainland China

Published: December 2022

Abstract. Freely accessible long-term precipitation estimates with fine spatiotemporal resolution and high-quality play essential roles in hydrologic, climatic, and numerical modeling applications. However, the existing daily gridded precipitation datasets over China either are constructed with insufficient gauge observations or neglect topographic effects and boundary effects on interpolation. Using daily observations from 2,839 gauges across China and nearby regions from 1961 to the present, this study compared eight different interpolation schemes that adjust the climatology based on monthly precipitation constraint and topographic characteristic correction, using an algorithm that combines the daily climatology field with a precipitation ratio field. Results from these eight interpolation schemes are cross validated using 45,992 high-density daily gauge observations from 2015 to 2019 over China. Of these eight schemes, the one with the best performance merges the Parameter-elevation Regression on Independent Slopes Model (PRISM) in the daily climatology field and interpolates station observations into the ratio field using an inverse distance weighting method. This scheme has a correlation coefficient of 0.78, a root-mean-square deviation of 8.8 mm/d, and a Kling-Gupta efficiency of 0.69 for comparisons between the 45,992 high-density gauge observations and the best interpolation scheme for the 0.1° latitude × longitude grid cells from 2015 to 2019. Therefore, this scheme is used to construct a new long-term gauge-based gridded precipitation dataset across mainland China (called CHM_PR, as a member of the China Hydro-Meteorology dataset) with spatial resolutions of 0.5°/0.25°/0.1°. This precipitation dataset is expected to facilitate the advancement of drought monitoring, flood forecasting, and hydrological modeling.

THE GREATEST WASTE OF HUMAN BEING, ITS OWN EXISTENCE
Authors: Leonel Chacon Anchondo
Published: December 2022

The James Webb telescope with a very high cost, seeks what has not been lost. The origin of what? while we waste what nature gives us and we have it in our hands, the greed that causes mental blindness and makes us mentally ill, prevents us from seeing or does not care that pollution is causing our possible end. Well, that only affects the poor! “We, the rich and masters of the world, have the resources to build bunkers and survive or build a ship and run away from this miserable planet. “Miserable by attitude, paradise by nature” The over consumption of natural resources and losses due to pollution today (21st century AD.), is perhaps insignificant compared to the historical waste in ancient civilizations, being its extinction the greatest waste of "HOMO SAPIENS". Through thousands of years, millions of human lives have been wasted in sterile wars and conflicts, moved by greed for wealth and power, even believing themselves to be the chosen ones or demigods in some cases, being the empires the most atrocious. Empires in their blindness have invaded, disappeared and wasted entire civilizations and cultures, in some cases more advanced than their own, including knowledge and wisdom that they did not have, in some cases still indecipherable in our time (21 AD.), wasting human lives. Some empires that were established by military force, use manipulation, intrigues, pretexts, insults, lies, false information and threats of sanctions, to "justify" the invasion. Others invade by means of leonine treaties in all possible areas and the "less aggressive" do so by economically "supporting" the country to be invaded. In cases where a country defends itself from direct or indirect intervention, harmful propaganda is made globally to discredit that country. The greatest sources of waste of human lives, are armies, public administrations with corrupt and repressive executive, legislative and judicial systems, some dictatorial, autocrats or manipulative “democracies”. Oligarchs of “emerging” countries, due to their greed and love of money, manipulate the politics of their country and deliver it to the oligarchs of the empire in turn through treaties, mostly advantageous for the powerful country, sometimes for centuries, it inhibits creativity, potential and development of scientists and technicians of dominated country, who only become servants of the imperialist, sometimes wasting thousands or millions of human being lives. Where the only ones who lose are the inhabitants of invaded territory. This does not mean that business leaders do not deserve to be rich, the question is how much and how to obtain that wealth. When an empire expands indefinitely, "holes" are made everywhere and it is the last to realize that its decline has begun; and in its fall, it seeks to drag others, including its allies.

The satirical folklore of Shirak is widely expressed in the following genres of oral poetry: local conversations, anecdotes, folk games, words of reproach, nicknames, proverbs, etc. In the Shirak region, the folklore text is perfectly manifested in the context of ritual, custom and tradition, with various forms of narration and ethnographic layers. Considering the samples of the satirical folklore of Shirak, it can be stated that the city of Gyumri in its spiritual genealogy and linguistics generalizes the urban folklore and humor of the settlers from Alashkert, the Inner Basin, Karin and Kars. In the samples of satirical folklore of Shirak the elements of improvisation are dominant.
The Reading, Translation, and Rewriting of Shakespeare’s Sonnets in China
Authors: Hao Tianhu
Published: December 2022

Shakespeare’s sonnets are widely loved and very popular in China, and major poet-translators such as Tu An and Liang Zongdai devoted a lifetime to their task of translation. The translation of the Bard’s sonnets involves cross-cultural understanding. In terms of poetic style, Shakespeare’s sonnets may be rendered in two styles, either modern or classical. Both styles have their pros and cons, but the general tendency leans toward the modern. In the course of over a century, the sonnet form has successfully been indigenized, and the Chinese sonnet has largely been developed from the reading and transplantation of Western sonneteers including Shakespeare and Milton. Among others, Shakespeare has exerted a significant impact on modern Chinese poetry by contributing new content and new form. This article aims to survey the reading, translation, and rewriting of Shakespeare’s sonnets in China and demonstrate how the Bard’s sonnets influenced the scene of modern Chinese poetry.

Uzay yarışının başlangıcından itibaren Ay, Mars ve diğer gök cisimleri ile derin uzayda keşfedilen kaynaklardan en efektif şekilde yararlanılması devletlerin ve şirketlerin orta ve uzun vadeli planlamalarında esaslı bir yer tutmaktadır. Çünkü geleceğin dünyasında uzay ekonomisinin temel yapı taşlarını oluşturan uzay kaynaklarının, nominal değer taşımasının yanı sıra astropolitik güç dengelerine de doğrudan etki yaptığında kuşku bulunmamaktadır. Bu sebeple çalışmada, genel bir bakış açısıyla uluslararası uzay hukuku kaynakları ile netliğe kavuşturulamayan pek çok konu gibi kavramsal olarak uzayın sınırı, uzay kaynaklarına değinilmiştir. Bunun dışında uzay teknolojisinin süreç içerisinde gelişimi ekseninde dış uzayda keşfedilen uzay kaynaklarının kullanımı hususunda Birleşmiş Milletler’in ve devletlerin bakış açıları özelinde bir incelemeye de yer verilmiştir. Bu yönde çalışma kapsamında, ağırlıklı olarak uzay kaynaklarının kullanılması keşfi, işletilmesi ve kullanılması arasındaki hassas paradigmaya vurgu yapılarak, Türkiye’de ulusal uzay hukuku ve astropolitik stratejiye etkilerinin ele alınması amaçlanmaktadır.

Di dalam Pasal 246 Kitab Undang-undang atau pertanggungan adalah suatu perjanjian dengan mana seorang penanggung mengikatkan diri kepada seorang tertanggung dengan menerima suatu premi untuk memberikan penggantian kepadanya, karena suatu kerugian, kerusakan atau kehilangan keuntungan yang diharapkan yang mungkin akan diderita karena suatu peristiwa yang tertentu. Adapun tujuan dari asuransi ini adalah mengalihkan segala resiko yang ditimbulkan peristiwa-peristiwa yang tidak dapat diharapkan terjadi kepada orang lain yang mengambil resiko untuk menggantikan kerugian bagaimana caranya. Supaya orang yang mengganti rugi itulah yang diusahakan melalui perjanjian asuransi antara pihak penanggung dengan pihak tertanggung. Sedangkan yang menjadi permasalahan adalah : Sejauh manakah tanggung jawab pengurus asuransi jiwa setelah perusahaan asuransi jiwa pailit, Sejauh manakah perlindungan hukum terhadap pemegang polis setelah perusahaan asuransi jiwa pailit. Untuk mengadakan pembahasan sehubungan dengan permasalahan penulis mempergunakan metode penelitian keputusan (Library Research). Perjanjian asuransi adalah suatu perjanjian dengan mana seorang penanggung mengikatkan diri kepada seorang tertanggung dengan menerima suatu premi, untuk memberikan penggantian kepadanya karena suatu kerugian, kerusakan dan kehilangan keuntungan yang mungkin yang mungkin akan dideritanya karena suatu kerugian, kerusakan dan kehilangan keuntungan yang mungkin akan dideritanya karena suatu peristiwa yang tidak tertentu. Dengan perjanjian asuransi yang diatur dalam Kitab Undang-undang Hukum Dagang bahwa tanggung mempunyai tanggung jawab dalam 2 (dua) hal yaitu : Tanggung jawab terhadap barang/benda yang diasuransikan/ dipertanggungkan (kalau, ada cacat pada barang itu). Tanggung jawab terhadap orangnya si tertanggung (apabila ada kesalahan sendiri pada si tertanggung). Tanggung jawab ini haruslah jelas dimuat dalam polis asuransi bahkan boleh dimuat pada janji khusus yang tegas dalam polis mengenai tanggung jawab penanggung. Suatu perjanjian asuransi pada dasarnya adalah merupakan perjanjian yang bersifat timbal balik, dimana masing-masing pihak mempunyai hak dan kewajiban. Juga bahkan perjanjian asuransi itu bersifat konsensual artinya perjanjian asuransi dianggap sudah terbentuk dengan adanya kata sepakat antara pihak penanggung dan tertanggung. Jadi apa yang telah disepakati masing-masing pihak lain sebagai yang berhak. Artinya bahwa perjanjian asuransi itu sudah sah atau mempunyai kekuatan hukum walaupun polis belum selesai dibuat asal saja sudah ada permulaan pembuktian dengan tulisan antara tertanggung dengan penanggung.
