Dobbs, Democracy, and Dysfunction
Authors: Landau David , Dixon Rosalind
Published: November 2023

Few recent decisions of the Supreme Court have received as much popular attention as Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. In this Essay, we focus on one important aspect of the Dobbs decision: its emphatic claim to be returning questions of abortion access to “the people” or to democracy. Dobbs’s invocation of democracy has obvious intuitive appeal, but it is a deeply problematic claim. It ignores systemic distortions in state legislatures caused by gerrymandering and other factors. And more specifically, in the abortion context, it overlooks the very old laws that predate Roe and Roe/Casey-era “messaging” bills never thought likely to go into effect—both of which Dobbs has revived across the country. These laws, which often instantiate draconian bans on abortion access, are dubious measures of contemporary public opinion, but they may end up remaining in effect for a long time because of what we call “burdens of inertia” and “blind spots” in state legislative processes. Given these intertwined dysfunctions, Dobbs is far from a pro-democratic decision. Such a claim would be more plausible if (a) issued in a context where the Court was also taking the sources of democratic dysfunction (such as partisan gerrymandering) seriously; and (b) issued in a way that showed sensitivity to the distortions in the democratic process surrounding abortion, many of which were caused by the Court’s own interventions. As well, since the dysfunctions identified on the abortion issue are difficult to eliminate, a decision that took democracy seriously may have required the Court to continue to oversee abortion regulation nationwide with a regime similar to its current approach in Casey—or at the very least to issue a quite different remedy that delayed the effect of overruling Casey, or did so only prospectively, while making clear that existing laws inconsistent with Casey had no force or effect. The hollowness of the celebratory reference to democracy in Dobbs raises the question of whether it was sincere, or instead a cynical fig leaf that threatens to further erode the significance of U.S. democracy.
Our Federalism and Our National Democracy: Complements or Foes?
Authors: Huq Aziz Z.
Published: November 2023

This Essay reflects on the relationship between “federalism” and “national democracy.” More specifically, it considers the way in which the operation of formal state institutions can change the quality of national bodies necessary to democratic politics. State-level action can reduce the quality of national democracy even if it is motivated by national partisan forces. For example, state-level instruments can influence the possibility that national institutions either do or do not experience capture by minority factions, and are instead capable of roughly tracking the ebb and flow of majoritarian preferences over time. Without state institutions, national actors would lack instruments to achieve such certain antidemocratic effects. The resulting descriptive taxonomy illustrates the ways by which state institutions can serve as vehicles for democratic backsliding in the operation of national representative institutions. As such, it provides a cautionary analysis of state institutions’ having a net-negative aggregate effect on the quality of a nation’s democracy.

The Impact of Visionary Leadership on Strategic Supremacy: A Field Study on Pharmaceutical Companies Operating in the Capital Municipality of Sana'a, Yemen
Authors: Al-Nashmi Murad Mohammed , Al-Arwali Mona Muhammad
Published: November 2023

This study aspires to investigate the impact of visionary leadership (clear vision, future orientation, determining direction, and agent of change) on strategic supremacy in pharmaceutical companies operating in the Capital Municipality of Sana'a, Yemen. The analytical descriptive approach was adopted, and a questionnaire was developed to collect data from 180 respondents who have supervisory positions in eight pharmaceutical manufacturing companies. Stratified random sampling method was followed, and the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) (V.25) was employed to analyze collected data. Responses' frequencies and means were calculated, and ANOVA, and regression were used in data analysis. Results of study indicate that there is a significant positive impact of visionary leadership on achieving strategic supremacy in surveyed companies, as determining direction was the most influential dimension and clear vision was the least influential. Age and size of surveyed companies; however, have no impact in making any differences between companies regarding achieved strategic supremacy. Based on the findings, the study recommends that companies should form alliances with major competitors in order to influence competitive configuration of the industry and reduce competitive pressure. Leaders also should be trained effectively on formulating compelling visions for the future of their companies.

Published: November 2023

In order to improve the delivery of topical corticosteroids into inflammatory skin lesions while reducing the likelihood of adverse effects, lipid nanocarriers have received increasing attention. Hence, this study aimed to develop biocompatible nanoemulsions (NEs) and nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) as carriers for fluocinolone acetonide (FA) by carefully optimizing the formulation and process parameters. After an analysis of the relevant physicochemical parameters and stability testing, in vitro release and permeation tests were performed to evaluate whether the nanocarriers affected the penetration of FA into/through the skin compared to a conventional reference product (Sinoderm® cream). The developed NEs exhibited satisfactory physicochemical properties (droplet size <200 nm, PDI<0.2, ZP>|-30| mV, pH ~ 4.75) and long-term stability. Although the developed NLCs initially had satisfactory properties, gelation was observed within 3 months of storage, implying that further formulation testing is required to resolve the limited stability of these systems. In vitro release/permeation findings suggest that the developed nanocarriers (especially NEs) provide better delivery of FA into/though the skin compared to the Sinoderm® cream. Therefore, a lecithin-based NE with a 10% lipid phase (medium-chain triglycerides/oleic acid 3:1) is a promising strategy for improved delivery of FA to the inflamed skin, allowing for ease of application, especially to larger skin surfaces and hairy regions.
Stability evaluation of emulsion-based topical preparations: A valuable potential of dynamicmechanical thermoanalysis (DMTA) test as a rapid rheological alternative to conventional freezethaw test
Authors: Cekić Nebojša , Savić Sanela , Savić Snežana
Published: November 2023

The assessment of stability in emulsion-based topical preparations can be approached through real-time monitoring and/or accelerated methods, drawing predictions from pertinent stability-related physicochemical parameters. Ensuring the robustness and durability of topical products during storage, transport, and application necessitates thorough stability testing. However, due to the diversity of emulsion types and their intended use, there is no universal standard test, placing the liability on formulators/manufacturer to tailor appropriate assessments. Notably, topical emulsions, particularly cosmetic variants, often exhibit impressive stability with extended shelf lives. Nonetheless, evaluating their stability and decision-making remain challenging and time-consuming in industrial contexts. This underscores the demand for alternative testing protocols that expedite stability assessments and predict emulsion-based product stability accurately. This article comprehensively surveys literature, enriched with practical insights, exploring core mechanisms behind emulsion stability and prevention of instability. The discussion encompasses diverse approaches to stability assessment, revealing methodologies and parameters under examination during testing. Particular focus is placed on the dynamic-mechanical thermoanalysis (DMTA) method explored as a rapid, rheologically-based alternative to the conventional freeze-thaw test, emphasizing its usefulness for expediting the stability evaluation of emulsion-based topical preparations.

Published: November 2023

The field of nanotechnology is at the forefront of a scientific revolution, where the term "nano" transcends mere size and opens the door to enormous possibilities. In the context of drug development, the selection of a suitable drug delivery system (corresponding to a certain active pharmaceutical ingredient) is a pivotal decision. Accordingly, nanosystems have emerged as a promising avenue, offering innovative solutions, and gaining recognition for addressing healthcare issues. While these products hold immense promise, they have faced certain complexities in their translation from the preclinical to the clinical setting, reflected in the lack of proper assessment protocols for quality and safety aspects and, consequently, an insufficiently defined regulatory environment. Since the groundbreaking US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of liposomal doxorubicin in 1995, approximately 80 nanomedicine products have received regulatory approval so far. Recent attention has gravitated toward lipid-based nanomedicines, particularly in the development of mRNA vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic, further highlighting their significance. However, the relatively modest number of approved nanomedicines compared to the extensive research efforts raises important questions and underscores areas of uncertainty. This article provides an overview of the challenges in defining nanomedicines, their properties, the complexities of regulatory frameworks, and the imperative for standardized characterization protocols.
Self-assembled carriers as drug delivery systems: Current characterization challenges and future prospects
Authors: Pantelić Ivana , Ilić Tanja , Nikolić Ines , Savić Snežana
Published: November 2023

A review of recent publications reveals an increased interest in the so-called self-assembled carriers and their applicability in drug delivery via various routes of administration. Self-assembly denotes the process of rather spontaneous formation of ordered aggregates (sometimes under specific conditions-e.g., pH, temperature, ionic strength), via diverse interactions. This process, seen in many naturally occurring substances (polysaccharides, proteins, lipids), has inspired researchers to synthetize innovative self-assembling materials or combinations of existing ones. This paper provides a review of the recently investigated self-assembling materials and the carriers they form, often belonging to the sphere of pharmaceutical nanotechnology. Self-assembled carriers may provide enhanced stability, more efficient encapsulation and/or controlled delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients. However, the diversity of geometries obtained (spheres, polyhedrals, ellipses, discs, porous structures, etc.) presents a significant characterization challenge, often requiring the application of several complementary techniques for proper evaluation of carrier size and morphology. Commonly utilized characterization techniques for investigating physico-chemical and certain biopharmaceutical properties are discussed, along with their advantages and disadvantages. Finally, the authors offer their critical opinion on the outlook of self-assembled drug carriers.

Authors: Liappis Evangelos , Adamopoulou Marina , Angelopoulou Niki , Diakaki Natalia , Vafeidou Ioanna , Papadeli Chrysi
Published: November 2023

Background/Aim: Dentistry has made major progress due to modern advancements in radiology. It would be interesting to examine the correlation of dental science with the labor market, as well as to assess dentists' adaption to nowadays' scientific and financial circumstances. This research aims to investigate the opinions of dentists in Thessaloniki, Greece, with regard to choosing the appropriate radiographic examinations in various clinical cases, and to canvass their knowledge of radiation protection. Material and Methods: Our sample was comprised of 7% of private dentists working in the urban complex within the borders of Thessaloniki, Greece. Self-referential multiple choice questionnaires were distributed via email. For the statistical analysis, GoogleForms was utilized, and objectivity was guaranteed by ensuring participants' anonymity. Results: The replies underwent statistical analysis with the use of Google Forms, and through this process charts have been produced. Orthopantomograph is the most usual radiographic examination for new patients and for the evaluation of complications. Dentists' age and gender seem to affect their radiographic choices in everyday clinical practice. Regarding intraoral radiography, the paralleling technique is more usually applied. Moreover, the findings suggest the need for dentists' constant education on radiation protection. Last but not least, most participants choose digital intraoral radiography. Conclusions: Dentists tend to seek assistance from radiological laboratories for special radiographies, such as cone-beam computed tomography, as well as in cases of diagnostic dilemma. They also recognize digitalization's contribution to keeping health records. Consequently, clinicians' additional education, financial motives for the upgrade of radiological equipment and records' digitalization are fundamental prerequisites for modern dentistry.

Phases of construction and difficulties of developing knowledge tests in educational practice
Authors: Jeremić Ivana
Published: November 2023

The paper presents the results of an empirical research which determined the stages of construction of knowledge tests in educational practice, the difficulties faced by teachers in the process of test development, as well as the ways of overcoming these difficulties. The descriptive-analytical re-search method, content analysis and survey techniques were used in the research. The research sample included 362 subject teachers employed in primary schools in Serbia. All respondents included in the research indicated the difficulties they face in the process of making tests, i.e., the ways of solving these difficulties. A sub-sample of a total of 80 teachers consisted of Serbian language and mathematics teachers who reported on the phases of the knowledge test construction in their practice. The results of the research indicate that teachers perceive only a small number of theoretically defined stages in the construction of knowledge tests. Certain differences were identified in explaining the phases among the teachers of Serbian language and teachers of mathematics. At the same time, two-thirds of the surveyed teachers face difficulties when they prepare knowledge tests independently. The existing difficulties are usually solved by consulting the more experienced colleagues or by searching for a solution independently. The author's recommendation is to enable teachers by means of an additional teacher training courses, to acquire the appropriate knowledge and skills that would help them create the knowledge tests with satisfactory methodological characteristics, and at the same time adequate for the needs of their teaching practice.

Successful occupation depends on the ability to monitor the development and application of scientific discoveries, as well as from monitoring the development of our profession in our country and in the world. After completing formal education professional workers should continue non-formal education in the profession, which is why we often talk about the need for lifelong learning. Public libraries can provide them with appropriate support, because of its good territorial presence and well-arranged the library-information system of Serbia, which enables the dissemination of reliable scientific information through numerous services and systems. During professional formal education, attendees are directed at university and high school libraries, and public libraries are not perceived as a possible source of current scientific and professional information. National Library of Uzice, in order to improve in an adequate way the level of services intended for professionals in the local community, has conducted a survey of professors of secondary vocational schools, seeking to determine information behavior and attitudes regarding the monitoring of scientific information and innovation in profession. The results show us in which areas we can tailor our services to the target group. It is planned - in the following period, to examine the information behavior of professional economy workers for the same purpose.

Pleural empyema as a complication of COVID 19 pneumonia in a patient with destroyed lung syndrome
Authors: Glavinić-Mijić Marija , Popović Slobodanka , Simić-Milovanović Anamaria
Published: November 2023

Introduction. Destroyed lung syndrome is a severe destruction of the pleural parenchyma due to lung infection, mostly caused by tuberculosis. Besides tuberculosis, necrotizing pneumonia may also lead to this disease complication. Pleural empyema is a frequent consequence of the destroyed lung syndrome. Pleural empyema may occur during the COVID-19 infection and is negatively correlated with a favorable disease outcome. Case report. A male 50 y/o showed up during the on-call shift during the winter COVID-19 wave with a medical report from the Internal medicine clinic. His personal history is significant for his pneumonectomy in 2016. In the past two months, he had been treated for pneumonia and COVID-19 infection with antibiotics and corticosteroid therapy. Due to prolonged malaise and tachycardia his GP referred him to yet another chest X-ray and lab work. The chest X-ray showed pleural effusion, so he was promptly referred to an on-call hospital. The on-call physician, after looking into the hospital reports, consulted an internal medicine doctor and it was decided to refer the patient to a thoracic surgeon. He was hospitalized for pleural empyema and treated with thoracic drainage using the system of active aspiration. A year later, he feels well, and he regained his appetite, and body mass, with occasional leaking from the thoracic fistule. Conclusion. This case report shows a recurrence of pleural empyema in a patient with pneumonectomy due to necrotizing pneumonia and destroyed lung syndrome, complicated by COVID-19 infection. We aimed to draw the attention of GPs to diseases and disease complications that are rarely met in GP practice and are not otherwise treated on the primary healthcare level.
Unconstitutionality of the General Administrative Procedure Act: The Constitutional Court as the 'positive legislator'
Authors: Cucić Vuk
Published: November 2023

The Constitutional Court of Serbia declared Article 178(3) of the General Administra-tive Procedure Act (GAPA) unconstitutional. This provision sets an objective deadline for reopening of the administrative procedure. The Constitutional Court found that this deadline is unconstitutional when the procedure is reopened as a result of the Constitutional Court decision on constitutional appeal or the ECtHR judgment determining that a decision rendered in an administrative proceeding violated a right guaranteed by the Constitution or the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Unfortunately, the said GAPA provision prescribed an objective deadline for other 10 reasons for reopening of the procedure. By declaring this provision unconstitutional, the Constitutional Court stepped out of its role of the 'negative legislator' and made a legislative choice instead of the legislator, by removing par-ts of the norm that are not inconsistent with the Constitution. When making this decision, the Constitutional Court relied on its previous decisions, which removed the same provisions on the objective deadline for reopening of the civil litigation and misdemeanor proceedings. The Constitutional Court ignored the fact that this is an administrative procedure and, erroneously, referred to the inconsistency of the GAPA with the provisions of the Constitution and the ECHR, which guarantee the right to a fair trial, judicial protection and legal remedy. The second, equally unfounded, premise on which the Constitutional Court based its decision is the be-lief that the abolition of the objective deadline for reopening of the administrative procedure was necessary in order to enable the removal of the consequences of violations of the rights determined by the Constitutional Court or the ECtHR. By leaving only a subjective deadline, which is difficult to prove in practice, the level of legal certainty has been lowered. Finally, in its case law, the ECtHR considered that the existence of a limitless possibility of the official removal of final legal acts constituted a violation of Article 6 of the ECHR. The Constitutional Court's abolition of the objective deadline for reopening of the procedure has made this possible.
On the deflationary nature of Bitcoin
Authors: Radulović Srđan
Published: November 2023

Bitcoin was presented at the end of 2008 but the question still remains whether it is a form of money or something entirely different. Bitcoin was not designed with the aim to create money in a strict sense but primarily with the intention to make the transfer of value as effective as possible. Yet, Bitcoin has a capacity to take on the role of money, and that capacity was recognized in court cases. In this regard, the paper presents the results of the primarily empirical but also theoretical research conducted previously on the volatile but still very deflationary nature of Bitcoin and its effect on monetary obligations. The idea that cryptocurrencies can be also used as a hedging instrument to prevent the negative effects of domestic currency depreciation might be controversial for a number of reasons, one of which is certainly the volatile nature of bitcoin "price". We stress that periodic depreciation of its value does not mean that bitcoin is inflationary. On the contrary, bitcoin is deflationary by nature, which is evident in different in-built mechanisms and new ways of application. In this paper, the author uses different analytical method techniques to single out and describe various deflatory mechanisms, both preprogramed and factual ones. The author also applies the synthetical method and its techniques, primarily abstraction and generalization, to sum up the data confirming the main hypothesis that bitcoin is by nature deflationary despite its volatility and, therefore, it can be used as a hedging mechanism.
Liability of the Republic of Croatia for damage caused by compromising the Real Property Registration and Cadastre joint information system
Authors: Pichler Davorin , Tomić Dražen , Ljubanović Vlatko
Published: November 2023

Before their digitation, land registries in the Republic of Croatia had been kept manually (paper-based registration). The Land Registry Act stipulates that land registries in the Republic of Croatia are kept electronically by means of a Real Property Registration and Cadastre Joint Information System (hereinafter: JIS), containing harmonized real property and cadastral data. A real property and land database is created through the electronic entry of paper-based data, i.e. integration of real property and cadastral data into a single database. Hence, the protection of real property transfers is enhanced since the legal status of the land and all accompanying restrictions (concessions, public property status etc.) can be obtained in one place. The real property land database enables registration of every change to the real property without the need to inform both the land registration court and cadastre thereabout. The Real Property Registration and Cadastre Joint Information System is jointly coordinated and managed by the Ministry of Justice and Administration of the Republic of Croatia and the State Geodetic Administration. The Land Registry Act sets forth that the Republic of Croatia is strictly liable for any damage arising from flaws in keeping land registries. Such damage can occur in case of errors or malfunctions in the respective joint information system. This paper investigates the appropriateness of the measures for protection of the Real Property Registration and Cadastre Joint Information System and the general rules for security and control of the access to the said system, and analyses the risk of compromising it. Regarding the liability of the Republic of Croatia for any damage pertaining to flaws in the land records management, the paper depicts the model of defining the liability for any damage sustained by the holders of ownership rights due to unauthorized access to the said joint information system. The paper also sheds light on the advantages and disadvantages of the model for defining fault and strict liability in the above case, and examines some pending issues relating to the applicable model for defining such damage liability de lege lata as well as possible legal solutions and the potential need for the legislator's intervention de lege ferenda.

A kálvini gondolatok újszerűsége érzékeltetésének érdekében szükségszerű a történelmi előzmények bemutatása az egyházalkotmánytan vonatkozásában.

A reformáció másodgenerációs nagy alakját, Kálvint, a kálvini jogot és annak hatását nem csak az általános alapelvek, illetve azok érvényesülésének szintjén vizsgáltam, hanem azt is elemeztem, hogy ténylegesen közvetlenül hogyan hatott a nyugat-európai országokra. Nem országokra történő lebontásban vizsgálom jelen tanulmányomban a közvetlen hatást, hanem annak bemutatására kívánok kísérletet tenni, hogy az Institutio mint egyházalkotmány miként hathatott a későbbi polgári kormányzatok kialakulására, mennyiben segítette elő a demokratikus eszmék és forradalmi szabadságharcok létrejöttét.

Kálvin és követőinek köszönhetően, később a kálvinizmus segítségével változott meg az államok szervezete, az államnak az egyházhoz fűződő viszonyrendszere és az azzal összefüggő politikai álláspontok. Korszakát meghaladó jogi gondolkodásmódja számos mozgalmat, forradalmat indított el és rendezte át a politikai berendezkedést, a jogrendszereket, valamint alakította át az egyházi jogot és az alkotmányjogot, azok viszonyát.

Проаналізовано проблему розвитку музичної творчої діяльності студентів мистецьких спеці- альностей, цілі та інтерпретаційні системи формування творчої особистості засобами музичного мистецтва. Досліджено, що залучення студентів до емоційно-аналітичного пізнання естетичної цінності музичного твору включає різні стадії, що забезпечують розвиток естетичної направленості творення. Визначено, що процес музично-естетичної діяльності здійснюється в три етапи, взаємопов’язаних і взаємодоповнюючі між собою. А тому, важливим і необхідним є педагогічна спрямованість активної музичної діяльності, яка сприяє не тільки накопиченню відповідного естетичного досвіду, але й реалізації їх інтелектуальних, творчих, духовних сил. Ключові слова: майбутні фахівці мистецького спрямування, музично-творча діяльність, творча особистість, творча уява, естетичні підходи.
