The Incongruous Nature Of International Law: Why Do States Adhere?
Authors: Muhammad Imran  , Saeed Muhammad Arif , Rohaida Nordin
Published: February 2023

This paper provides an overview of the relationship between international law and the behavior of nations over the course of the last 400 years. The study argues that although governments generally comply with international law, it can be difficult to establish a causal relationship between behavior and legal responsibility. The primary challenge lies in the vast number of factors that can influence a State's behavior. The paper suggests that a constructivist approach, which takes into consideration not just the interests of individual nations but also the nature of the international regime, the structure of international society, and the internal frameworks of states, provides the most compelling argument for why States comply with the law and commonly understood norms. The analysis of the fundamental theories and circumstances that are likely to influence State action supports the conclusion that all States, strong and weak, behave in accordance with the law and commonly understood norms.

Islam menganjurkan agar tanah yang kosong digarap menjadi kebun dengan menanaminya tanaman yang baik dan bermanfaat. Kharaj secara sederhana dapat diartikan sebagai pajak tanah. Pajak tanah ini dibebankan atas tanah non-muslim dan dalam hal-hal tertentu dapat dibebankan juga kepada umat Islam. Dari sistem kharaj yang diterapkan di masa Rasul ternyata ada nilai-nilai atau konsep yang bisa diterapkan untuk masa sekarang, terutama bila dikaitkan dengan Pajak Bumi dan Bangunan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kaitan antara kebijakan kharaj pada masa Rasulullah SAW dengan pajak bumi dan bangunan serta mekanisme penerapan nilai-nilai kharaj dalam pajak bumi dan bangunan. Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analisis yaitu dengan mengadakan perbandingan antara realita yang terjadi sekarang dengan aturan yang ada dalam ekonomi Islam serta praktek yang ada di masa Rasulullah SAW. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan kharaj pada masa Rasulullah SAW berkaitan erat dengan penerapan Pajak Bumi dan Bangunan di masa sekarang. Praktek kharaj yang dimulai di masa Rasul merupakan awal mula dari adanya ketetapan mengenai penarikan pajak untuk masa sekarang. Kharaj lebih berorientasi kepada pembayaran atau iuran yang dikutip dari si pemilik ataupun si penggarap tanah, baik zimmi maupun muslim. Sedangkan Pajak Bumi dan Bangunan, objeknya tidak hanya ditujukan terhadap permukaan bumi yang meliputi tanah dan perairan pedalaman saja, tetapi mencakup juga bangunan yang dilekatkan secara tetap pada tanah dan atau perairan untuk tempat tinggal, tempat usaha dan tempat yang diusahakan Pajak bukan sesuatu yang baru dicetuskan di masa sekarang, tetapi telah dimulai dan diprakarsai jauh sebelum masa sekarang, yaitu di masa Rasulullah SAW, meskipun mekanisme kharaj di masa Rasul baru sekedar pelaksanaannya saja dan belum di atur secara sistematis seperti yang ada di masa kini.

Staphylococcus aureus and staphylococcus epidermis are responsible for most cases due to being a part of normal skin flora. Salmonella is rarely reported and accounts for 0.45% of all causative agents of salmonella. Salmonella osteomyelitis in immunocompetent adults is uncommon and occurs in approximately 0.8% of all Salmonella infections.

Myositis is muscle inflammation that can be due to both infectious and non-infectious causes. Infectious causes can be classified into pyogenic or non-pyogenic. Infection-related myositis occurs due to bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial, or parasitic infections as the root cause. Bacteria and fungi are the most common cause of focal myositis.

Gout: A Case Report
Authors: Bhatnagar Samarth , MacInnis Cameron
Published: February 2023

Gout is a common clinical condition, usually seen with typical manifestations of swelling, erythema, tophi, and heat at joint(s). However, in rare circumstances, gout can present atypically, and it is important to recognize and manage it with appropriate medical therapy. This case study dives into a particularly atypical presentation of tophaceous gout in a patient with numerous comorbidities that complicate management. Visually appreciating the tophi, in this case, allows one to get an idea of their distribution on the digits, their unique chalky-white appearance, and how the presentation changed after therapy was initiated. Additionally, learning about the in-depth management and step-wise escalation of treatment is a crucial takeaway from this case, especially in the backdrop of the patient’s CKD3b and CHF - making selecting pharmacotherapy a challenge. After some trial and co-consultation with nephrology, the final effective treatment course for this patient involved using a combination of Allopurinol and Pegloticase (Krystexxa) together; this provided both a clinical improvement and a decrease in lab values of uric acid, dropping from 11.4mg/dL at peak to 4.4mg/dL.

Human development index of the Balkan national economies
Authors: Đorđević Vladimir , Cvetković Milica , Momčilović Aleksandar
Published: February 2023

The goal of human development is to create conditions for the realization of the potential of all people and the expansion of choices for current and future generations. Human development is the process of increasing human values, through the expansion of human choices and the level of well-being achieved. The human development approach places the individual at the center of research, taking into account the personal elements that are relevant to each individual. There is a strong connection between the level of human development and economic growth because economic growth expands the material basis for meeting human needs. As a multidimensional concept, human development should not be equated with economic growth, because economic growth does not represent a guarantee of the socio-economic well-being of the entire society. Economic growth encourages human development in all its dimensions, that is it generates full employment, promotes human freedoms, and evenly distributes the benefits of future human development.

Published: February 2023

Tourism, as one of the main industries at the global level, can provide many benefits, primarily economic, however the growing trend of tourist travel has begun to cause incalculable damage to the environment, cultural heritage and to affect the lifestyle of the local population of tourist destinations. In recent years, sustainable development in tourism has emerged as a necessity, but in order for such processes to be adequately completed, it is necessary to reprogram people's awareness of environmental protection, consumption of sustainable products, healthy lifestyles and preservation of tourist destinations. The rapidly evolving digital environment has become an indispensable tool for marketing professionals. It is possible to communicate more efficiently with the target market through internet-based platforms. Influencers have played a major role in influencing other members of society even before the advent of digital technologies. However, electronic word-of-mouth communication (eWOM), as a form of word-ofmouth communication in the digital environment, can be a very successful tool for influencing consumer attitudes, including attitudes towards sustainable tourism development. Today, travel influencers play a particularly important role on social networks. If the influencers are focused on a healthy lifestyle, environmental protection and the development of sustainable tourism, there is a good chance that their followers will adopt such behavior. Given that eWOM communication can have a viral effect, it is very likely that such positive information will continue to spread exponentially in the virtual space, continuing its uncontrolled influence.

Perdre pour gagner Christ
Authors: Chapleau Anne-Marie
Published: February 2023

À l’aide de la sémiotique énonciative, cette étude montre que Gn 2,15-17 et Gn 3,1-14 fournissent deux modèles pour évaluer le retournement de l’acteur Paul dans Ph 3,4-14. La relation fiduciaire de Paul à Christ correspond structurellement au modèle ternaire de Gn 2,15-17 où la parole d’Adonaï Élohîm s’insère comme le pôle tiers qui permet la relation entre lui-même et l’adam. L’ancienne posture de Paul, la « confiance dans chair », relevait de la structure binaire que Gn 3,1-7 décrit en la poussant à son paroxysme : le recours à un objet pour fonder sa vie. Paul invite les Philippiens à adopter la même posture existentielle.

Tiger nuts are one of the healthy sources to substitute for many consumer products such as cow milk and gluten. This study aimed to enhance the use of tiger nuts (Cyperus esculentus) as main raw material in the production of yoghurt. Phytochemical analyses were carried out and sensory parameters were evaluated. 1 kg of tiger nuts followed chronological steps to produce 2 liters of milk. These steps were: sorting and weighing, soaking, grinding using a blender, filtration through a polyethylene filter, pasteurization, packaging and filling at hot in polyethylene bottles then rapid cooling. The resulting milk went through a process to produce 2 liters of tiger nuts yoghurt. This process consisted of the following steps: pasteurization, cooling, inoculation, mixing and homogenization using a spatula, incubation 6 hours, packaging and storage. Tiger nuts yoghurt was served chilled to untrained panelists for sensory analyses. The results of this study showed that 100 g of tiger nuts yoghurt contain 4.4±0.1 g protein, 1.9±0.06 g fat, 5.7±0.0 pH, 3.7±0.07 g sugar, 1.3±0.02 g fiber, 140±3.00 mg potassium, 126±2.00 mg calcium, 12.1±0.70 mg magnesium, 43±1.00 mg sodium, 0.40±0.01 mg zinc, 176±1.00 mg phosphorus, 0.001±0.1 mg vitamin A and 0.3±0.00 mg vitamin C.

The Link between Human Capital Formation and Economic Growth in East Africa
Authors: Mose Naftaly
Published: February 2023

The East African Community members' strategy is focused on achieving smart, sustainable, and inclusive economic growth. This cannot be achieved without the major contribution of skills, knowledge, and innovation, commonly known as human capital formation. It is difficult to believe that these goals could be realized without a good education and training system, training development, better health sector infrastructure, a large diffusion of knowledge in the manufacturing and service sector, and a great effort to create a research-intensive agricultural economy. Most East African economies lack a number of these growth pre-take-off conditions. Employing neoclassical augmented Solow growth theory as the theoretical framework and using panel methodology, the study investigated the role of human capital resources as a factor in stimulating output growth in East Africa. The findings showed that human capital formation was positive and significant to economic growth in East Africa. This study argues that policies and strategies that advocate for accelerated public investment in human capital development will promote productivity growth and further stimulate resilient economic growth in the East African economies.

An experimental design, which consisted in a randomized Fischer block, is composed of six replications of five treatments:T0: conventional fertilization (Ureemulticote 39 00, 150 kg ha-1; MAP, 125kg ha-1; KCl,250kg ha-1) T0-M1: T0 + 5 t ha-1of Micaschist powder, T0-M2: T0 + 7 t ha-1of Micaschist powder, NP-M1:N and P supply, conventional dose (no KCl) + 5 t ha-1of Micaschist powder, N-M2: N supply, conventional dose (no P and K) + 7 t ha-1of Micaschist powder. The experiment was carried out between October 2015 and February 2019. During this period, soil samples were collected, sugarcane was planted and monitored with great care in order to determine the parameters indicative of the growth and yield of sugarcane plants. The results indicate an important increase of the sugarcane yield during the three years of experiment, on soils where micaschist powder was added, compared to the control. Concerning the percentage of lift and voids, the T0-M1 treatment had 3% of voids compared to the T0 (9%) treatment which is the reference fertilizer; for Tillers parameter, T0-M1 (338 stems) performs very well during the experiment compared to the T0 (297stems) and for the growth parameter, T0-M1 treatment was good increasing from 182 cm in the first year to 280 cm in the second year. This suggests that micaschist powder has a positive and significant effect on the growth components. For the yield of sugarcane, the best result of tons of sugarcane (TC) was obtained with T0-M1 treatment which increased from 77.15 TC ha-1 in the first year to 86.13TC ha-1 in the third year. The overall results indicate that using micaschist powder as fertilizer can enhance sugar cane yield with a long lasting residual effect of rock powder.

Cotton, the king of fibers is often quoted as ‘White Gold’ because of its higher commercial values. It is a primary raw material in the textile industries. Cotton, cotton yarn, cotton fabrics and garments have substantial demand in the global market. Cotton is the most important fibre crop of India playing a dominant role in its agrarian and industrial economy. In the present study efforts have been made to study the cost, returns, profitability of organic and conventional cotton. The primary data required for the study were collected during year 2021-22 from 320 cotton growers of Maharashtra. Simple statistical tools like averages and percentages were used in analysing the collected data and standard cost concepts was used for analysis. The result of the study examined that, the total cost of production (cost ‘C’) of cotton was worked out to Rs. 87633 and Rs. 72683 in conventional irrigated and conventional rainfed cotton cultivation, respectively, the per hectare conventional rainfed cotton production was worked out to be 13.18 qtls. The per hectare conventional irrigated cotton production was worked out to be 20.95 qtls. The benefit-cost ratio was estimated to 2.09 and 1.77 for irrigated and rainfed respectively, This indicated that, organic irrigated cotton production was more profitable than organic rainfed cotton. Organic cotton farming promises to be a more sustainable form of agriculture that is aimed at producing food in a more environmentally friendly, economically viable and socially just way. Organic methods also have wider social and environmental benefits that come from the use of sustainable methods.
Weed Management in Linseed: A Review
Authors: Mohanty M. , Sahoo S. C.
Published: February 2023

Slow initial growth makes linseed crop more vulnerable to weed infestation, which requires proper attention to obtain expected plant growth and yield. Control of weeds at early stages play a vital role for attaining robust plant growth that results in higher yield. Depending on location and method of cultivation, various types of weeds such as broad leaf, sedges and grasses are found in linseed field. In linseed crop, weeds can be controlled by manual, chemical or both the methods. As manual weeding is labour intensive and needs more time, chemical method of weed control is preferred to enhance profitability of the crop. Pre-emergence application of herbicide controls the weeds from the initial stage of plant growth that culminates with higher yield and more profit.
Stoichiometry of the EF‐Tu · GTP complex with aminoacyl‐tRNA: ternary of quinternary?
Authors: Leberman Reuben
Published: July 2002

The stoichiometry of the complex formed between the Escherichia coli polypeptide elongation factor EF‐Tu, GTP and valyl‐tRNAval has been determined by non‐enzymatic deacylation studies on mixtures of the components at well‐defined concentrations. A titration end‐point was found corresponding to a 1:1 complex of EF‐Tu · GTP with the aminoacylated‐tRNA i.e. formation of a ternary complex. The result conforms to the classical model of the elongation step and not to the revolutionary proposition of the formation of a 2:2:1 complex; quinternary complex (EF‐Tu · GTP)2 · as‐RNA.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to determine the best regimen for metabolic control of gestational diabetes. Methods: A prospective study was conducted over a period of 5 years in 355 diabetic women delivered at the King Fahd Hospital of the University, Al‐Khobar, Saudi Arabia, between January 1987 and December 1991. The patients were divided into three groups according to their mean plasma glucose levels during pregnancy: good control was defined as a mean plasma glucose level of less than 120 mg/dl (group A); moderate control as a mean plasma glucose level between 120 and 140 mg/dl (group B); and poor control as a mean plasma glucose level in excess of 140 mg/dl (group C). The t‐test was used for statistical analysis. Results: Antenatal and neonatal complications were much higher in groups B and C than in group A, the overall complication rate being five times higher in group C than in group A. Conclusion: The data indicate that good glycemic control is one determinant of maternal and fetal complications in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes.

Summary— The intracellular localizations of phosphatidylinositol 4,5‐bisphosphate (PIP2) and of its hydrolyzing enzyme phospholipase C (PLC; in this case the β1 isoform) have been evaluated by electron microscope immunocytochemistry in cells exposed to mitogenic or differentiating agents. These cells have been previously demonstrated to present a signal transduction system based on the polyphosphoinositide hydrolysis localized at the nuclear level, which can be specifically modulated by agonists. The results demonstrate that in Swiss 3T3 mouse fibroblasts mitogenically stimulated by insulin‐like growth factor I (IGF‐I), a rapid and transient decrease of the PIP2 detectable by immunogold labeling occurs at the nuclear interior. This effect appears due to the activation of the PLC β1 isozyme already present in the nucleus, since no significant variations of the enzyme amount and distribution can be detected by immunolabeling. However, after 30 min of exposure to IGF‐I, when the PLC β1 activity is returned to basal level, a slight but significant increase of the enzyme amount is detected both in the nucleus and in the cytoplasm. On the other hand, an increased accumulation of PIP2 in the nucleus, accompanied by a decrease of the intranuclear amount of PLC β1 isozyme, have been observed in mouse erythroleukemia Friend cells, induced to erythroid differentiation by dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO). These results indicate that quantitative immunocytochemistry represents an increment in the available methodologies to investigate the complex regulation of nuclear PI‐signalling.

Summry— The intracellular fate of radiolabeled T3 taken up by mice hepatocytes in vivo was determined at specific time intervals (2–120 min) after injection by quantitative electron microscopic radioautography. Injection of a 200‐fold excess of unlabeled T3 together with [125I]‐T3 resulted in a more than 90% inhibition of radioactivity detected in hepatocytes. A simple grain density (GD) analysis of radioautograms revealed that a specific labeling (GD > 1) was displayed by only five cell compartments: the plasma membrane, lipid droplets, mitochondria, nuclear envelope and nuclear matrix whereas other compartments were not labeled. Labeled compartments showed distinct changes in the pattern of labeling over time: the plasma membrane was labeled only 2 min after T3 injection, whereas labeling of the nuclear envelope was high at 2 min, decreased at 15 min and progressively increased to maximal measured levels at 120 min. After a lag time of 30 min, nuclear matrix labeling increased progressively with time. Mitochondrial labeling was found to be specific at any time point studied but showed no change over time. These ultrastructural data have been confirmed in vitro by the interaction of T3 with plasma membrane, nuclear membrane, nuclear matrix and mitochondria by real‐time biospecific interaction analysis in a BIAcore™ system. These results demonstrate that T3 binds to hepatocytes before internalization, is transported both to mitochondria and to the nuclear envelope and translocated into the nuclear matrix.
