A importância do pilar da comunicação e do treinamento corporativo para a efetiva implementação da cultura do compliance
Authors: Martin Tiossi Fabiano , Hernandes Argentina Pedro Henrique
Published: December 2023

O trabalho pretende abordar a cultura de compliance, medida que vem sendo amplamente aderida pelas empresas, na busca por uma atuação mais transparente e em consonância com as normas. Os programas de integridade ganharam popularidade após os escândalos da operação Lava-Jato, situação em que inúmeras pessoas jurídicas renomadas foram identificadas por práticas do crime de corrupção. Diante este cenário caótico, as empresas debruçaram uma atenção maior no desenvolvimento e implementação de um programa de compliance efetivo. Para que a cultura de compliance seja implementada e apresente resultados positivos, é necessário que o programa esteja pautado sobre a função tríplice de prevenir, detectar e sanar atos ilícitos e aqueles que, mesmo não configurando um crime, causam reflexos perniciosos na instituição. Para que um programa de compliance seja implementado na empresa, é necessário que o mesmo tenha como alicerce os mecanismos e ferramentas do programa, conhecido por muitos como “pilares”. Os treinamentos corporativos representam uma ferramenta essencial para o correto funcionamento do programa, tendo em vista que a comunicação dentro da empresa é o principal fator para a irradiação de uma cultura organizacional. Para atingir os objetivos, o trabalho foi elaborado de forma dedutiva. Realizado e fundamentado por meio de revisões bibliográficas, dentre elas revistas acadêmicas on-line, bem como a utilização de informações já disponibilizadas em livros, artigos, legislação e outras fontes publicadas.
Namazda İmama Uyan Kimsenin (Meʹmûmun) Kıraati
Authors: YENİDOĞAN Adem
Published: December 2023

İslam’ın en temel ibadeti kabul edilen namazın geçerliliği birtakım kurallara bağlanmıştır. Namaz öncesinde ve esnasında riayet edilmesi gereken bu kurallara fıkıh dilinde şart ve rükün denilmektedir. Namazda kıyam halinde iken yerine getirilen kıraat, bu kuralların en önemlilerinden biri olup namazın rükünlerindendir. Dolayısıyla namazın sahih olabilmesi için yeteri kadar kıraatin yapılması gerekmektedir. Yapılmaması durumunda namaz geçersiz sayılmaktadır. Bu sebeple namazda kıraat meselesi fakihler tarafından detaylı olarak ele alınmış, ne, ne zaman ve ne kadar okunulacağı noktasında farklı görüşler ortaya konulmuştur. Bu noktada fakihler üç temel görüş ileri sürmüşlerdir. Hanefîler namazda imama uyan kimsenin kıraatte bulunmaması gerektiğini belirtmiş, kıraatin cehrî veya hafî olmasını dikkate almaksızın me’mûmun kıraatini mekruh saymışlardır. Hanefîlerin tam aksi görüşü savunan Şâfîiler ise cemaatle kılınan namazların tümünde me’mûmun kıraatte bulunması gerektiğini ve bunun vacip olduğunu söylemişlerdir. Me’mûmun kıraatsiz namazının ise sahih olmadığını ileri sürmüşlerdir. Görüşlerini kıraatin cehrî veya hafî olmasına bağlı olarak açıklayan Mâlikî ve Hanbelîler ise kıraatin hafî olduğu namazlarda me’mûmun kıraatte bulunacağını belirtmişlerdir. Kıraatin cehrî olduğu namazlarda Hanbelîler, okumak istemesi halinde me’mûmun imam sükût ettiğinde kıraatte bulunmasının daha güzel olduğunu, Mâlikîler ise, bu durumda me’mûma hiçbir şekilde kıraat gerekmediğini söylemişlerdir. Fakat her iki mezhebin fakihleri me’mûmun kıraatte bulunmasını vacip görmemiş, kıraat yapmasa da me’mûmun namazının geçerli olduğunu kabul etmişlerdir. Mezheplerin genel kanaati olarak sunulan bu üç temel görüşün tümünde mezhep içi ihtilaflar bulunmaktadır. Hanefîler haricin-deki fakihlerin me’mûmun kıraatiyle ilgili görüşlerini asıl itibarıyla me’mûmun, imamın kıraatini işitmesi veya işitmemesi ekseninde belirledikle-ri anlaşılmaktadır. Me’mûmun Fâtiha’yı okumasında kıraatin cehrî veya hafî olmasına itibar etmeseler de Fâtiha’dan sonra sûre okuması konusunda kıraatin cehrî veya hafî olmasını dikkate alan Şâfiîler ile Mâlikî ve Hanbelî fakihlerin kıraatin cehrî olduğu namazlarla ilgili ileri sürdükleri görüşlerin temelinde de me’mûmun, imamın kıraatini işitmesi veya işitmemesinin yer aldığı söylenebilir. Me’mûmun kıraatiyle ilgili farklı kanaat belirten fakihler görüşlerini temellendirmek için Kitap, Sünnet, sahabe kavli ve kıyastan delil getirmişlerdir. Fakihler görüşlerini benzer delillerle temellendirmelerine rağmen farklı neticelere ulaşmışlardır. Bu farklılığın ortaya çıkmasında ise âyetin delil sayılması, Hz. Peygamber’den (s.a.s.) nakledilen rivayetleri değerlendirirken farklı yaklaşımda bulunmaları ve kıyas argümanlarının farklı olması gösterilebilir. Fakihler arasında görüş farklılığına yol açan diğer sebeplerin fakihlerin birbiriyle çelişen rivayetleri telif etme noktasında ihtilaf etmeleri ve benzer rivayetleri farklı kabule delil olarak kullanmaları olduğu söylenebilir.
State-legal Ideology as a Factor of Developed Public Legal Consciousness Formation in the Russian Federation
Authors: Kayagin Andrey B.
Published: December 2023

This article is devoted to the study of the relationship and mutual infl uence of the state-legal ideology and public legal consciousness. The article discusses the possibility of the existence of a state-legal ideology in the Russian Federation in the context of the constitutionally enshrined principle of ideological diversity, and concludes that such an ideology is admissible and necessary. The author reveals the interdependence of the state-legal ideology and public legal consciousness, in particular, through consideration of the content of the functions of the latter. The study establishes the relationship between legal informing and state ideological infl uence. The author analyzes the impact of the state-legal ideology both on the individual legal consciousness of the individual and on the collective consciousness of society, and also notes that the state-legal ideology can be an eff ective means of combating the deformation of both types of legal consciousness, expressed in various forms. The article concludes that the non-ideological existence of the state is impossible, as well as the high role of state-legal ideology as a means of maintaining stable statehood and progressive state building. In addition, based on the results of the study, the position is substantiated, according to which the state-legal ideology should be considered a factor that ensures the formation and constant increase in the level of public legal consciousness as an integral attribute of a democratic constitutional state.

Multiphase and Multistakeholder English Translation Processes Behind Subtitling Chinese Auteur Films
Authors: Sun Xichen
Published: December 2023

The professional translation processes involved in subtitling Chinese auteur films are under-reported in audiovisual translation literature. The present study investigates the translation processes employed for Chinese films destined for an international audience with a focus on fifth- and sixth-generation directors’ films. These film auteurs depict China’s diverse cultural elements and contemporary social reality, for which English subtitles provide an essential bridge to connect to an international audience. Interview data collected from ten established Chinese-to-English translators/subtitlers, whose names are credited in the selected films, identify two remarkable features of subtitling these contemporary Chinese auteur films: Multiple phases of the translation processes employed across the filmmaking lifespan and multiple stakeholders involved in the wider translation processes beyond translators/subtitlers. Actor-Network Theory is used to elicit interwoven relationships among the various human and non-human actors connected to translating/subtitling activities across different stages of filmmaking. These findings confirm that translating/subtitling is not an isolated post-production task but rather permeates all filmmaking phases. This can be a key factor in contributing to overall quality, which is critical in disseminating subtitled films by some of China’s most celebrated auteurs.
Lay summary
The international film market has increasingly featured Chinese films, especially the works by established Chinese directors, such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jia Zhangke and Jia Zhangke. Their films reflect China’s cultural conventions and contemporary social reality. English subtitling is the most popular mode of translation to distribute Chinese films among the English-speaking audience. However, little is known about the agents involved in translating the Chinese high-profile films and the translation processes. To fill this knowledge gap, we interviewed ten translators or subtitlers contributing to the translation of the four aforementioned directors. The collected interview data inform us that many other stakeholders (e.g. directors, producers, screenwriters, distributors and subtitle editors) play a role in the shaping of the final English subtitles shown on the screen, and translation of Chinese films takes place throughout the whole filmmaking process (i.e. film development, pre-production, post-production, distribution and exhibition). A sociological framework is adopted to demonstrate the interwoven relationships among the various human (i.e. translators/subtitlers and other stakeholders) and non-human actors (i.e. accompanying materials and translation products) connected to translating/subtitling activities across different stages of filmmaking. It is argued that such a multiphase and multistakeholder process helps to improve the overall quality of Chinese film subtitling.
Career Structures and Staff Performance in Akwa Ibom State University, Nigeria (2017-2022)
Authors: Ikhenoba Williams , Ibok Prof. Enefiok , Atakpa Dr. Ofonmbuk Etido
Published: December 2023

In recent years, Nigerian public universities have become known for incessant industrial actions that disrupt academic activities and staff performance. The reasons adduced for the unpleasant situation are the generally poor conditions of work such as inadequate infrastructure; poor remuneration and workload. Despite the tough working conditions, the staff of the Akwa Ibom State University continue to perform their duties, resulting in a relatively peaceful and stable academic environment. This study was undertaken to unravel how career structures enhance staff performance. The theoretical framework for this study was predicated mainly on the “In Praise of Hierarchy” theory. The study raised three research questions which sought to establish the relationship between career structure and staff performance. The methodology involved a survey instrument and stratified sampling technique to select respondents from the study population of 996. The statistical tools used for the data analysis and test of the hypotheses produced statistically significant numbers which established a positive relationship between the independent research variables (job classification; career ladder and career development) and staff performance. The study further revealed that the aspiration of moving to the top in one’s chosen career as offered by the career ladder motivated staff towards improved performance. Evidence of the positive influence on staff performance by career structures was seen in the results of the three dimensions of the performance indices adopted in the study which showed an annual average total staff promotion of 57.26%, highly satisfactory customer satisfaction and a significantly low number of disciplinary actions (2.69% of total staff) for six years (2017-2022). The study recommended harnessing the benefits of career ladders and transforming them into a systematic communication tool which inspires and enhances a sustainable performance model with near-zero interruption to the academic calendar.
Suitability of Crushed Sandcrete Block (CSB) as a Partial Replacement for Fine Aggregate in Concrete Structures
Authors: Akor Joshua , Onjefu Leonard , Edeh Joseph , Olubambi Ademilade
Published: December 2023

In concrete structures, debris generated from construction, renovation, and demolition of buildings is often referred to as construction and demolition waste. These waste materials may be very important to recycle for several reasons for instance, recycling materials such as glass, metal, concrete, and wood waste can lessen our reliance on virgin resources, preserve natural resources, and lessen the negative environmental effects of resource exploitation. The suitability of crushed sandcrete block (CSB) for use as a partial replacement for fine aggregate in concrete was examined. The physical and mechanical properties of the crushed sandcrete block and river sand were determined and compared. The specific gravity of the crushed sandcrete block was found to be 2.58 while that for river sand was 2.66. The concrete with compressive strength of 25N/mm2 at 28 days’ hydration period was calculated for the normal mixture as the control. The percentage mix of the fine aggregate was substituted with CSB in different mix proportions of 0:1(0%), 1:3(25%), 1:2(33.3%), 1:1(50%), 2:1(66.7%), 3:1(75%) and 1:0(100%) of crushed sandcrete block and river sand by weight as fine aggregate. The concrete cubes were cured, and compressive strength tests were carried out at 7, 14, and 28 days. It was observed that the 28-day density and compressive strength for concrete cubes with crushed sandcrete block alone as fine aggregate (i.e. 100%) were found to be 2420kg/m³ and 22N/mm² respectively compared to the 0:1(0%) proportion which was found to be 2485kg/m³ and 26N/mm² respectively. It was observed that the density and compressive strength reduced with the increasing addition of CSB in all the proportions.

Un estudio de las redes de cooperación académica en la función investigación de las carreras de letras de la Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia Austral (1996-2016)
Authors: Forchino María Verónica , Gasel Alejandro Fabian
Published: December 2023

Al utilizar la metodología de análisis de redes sociales, a partir de los datos públicos disponibles en los informes de proyectos de investigación, observamos las dinámicas de colaboración, los colegios invisibles y la aparición y consolidación de grupos de investigación. En este marco el objetivo de este trabajo es estudiar la dinámica de colaboración académica en la Universidad Nacional de la Patagonia Austral (UNPA) mediante el análisis de redes de participación a eventos científicos de los grupos de investigación del campo de las letras (que incluyen estudios literarios, lingüísticos y semióticos) en el período de 1996 a 2016. Los resultados hallados pueden dar cuenta de la dinámica de institucionalización de la investigación en el campo de las letras desde las configuraciones de los grupos de investigación. Mediante el análisis de redes sociales y redes de afiliación hemos observado patrones que ponen de manifiesto diferentes herramientas para consolidar investigaciones en áreas específicas de las letras. Mediante la participación a eventos científicos los investigadores establecen colegios invisibles que favorecen a la consolidación de una comunidad con relaciones densas que, poco a poco, comienza a delimitar sus espacios y áreas de influencia. Realizamos el análisis de caso con la pretensión de sentar bases que demuestran la importancia de complementar los estudios de corte socio-históricos de institucionalización del campo académico con el análisis de redes de intelectuales, para poder enriquecer la comprensión de la dinámica de construcción colectiva del campo científico.

Education is a process of changing a person's attitude or behavior to mature humans through efforts to implement teaching by adhering to norms that have long been passed down from generation to generation. As for Islamic education, it should be able to change itself, not only by prioritizing religious knowledge, but Islamic education should also be able to answer the challenges of the times. Islamic education develops along with the emergence of Islam itself. Traditional and modern forms of education certainly have very significant differences. In this era, of course, the concept of education must be relevant to the conditions needed by society. Collaborative forms between traditional education and modern education are the right answer to face the present and future education systems.

Um plano de educação ambiental baseado na educação infantil, participação social : um estudo de caso na Aldeia Terere em Sidrolândia
Authors: Angelis Cristiano Trindade De
Published: December 2023

Resumo

 

É importante ter em mente que a Educação Ambiental não pode se desenvolver sozinha, como entidade isolada. Tem que estar dentro de um contexto que lhe permita crescer e fazer sentido. Portanto, este artigo propõe a transversalidade da aprendizagem da educação ambiental no ensino das crianças e então maior integração com os estudantes indígenas, atualmente severamente discriminados e até mesmo abusados. Essa transversalidade gera um maior conhecimento sobre o assunto e ao mesmo tempo uma maior consciência da importância do respeito ao meio ambiente e os moradores e defensores da natureza, os índios.

Como os indios da Aldeira Terere não confiam e não gostam da educacao tradicional das creches e pré-escola, a educacao ambiental se dá atraves da família e da uniao entre eles, mas poderia servir de solução para dificuldade de integração.

 Um cidadão ecologicamente consciente da importância do respeito a natureza e outas culturas está aberto às melhores práticas de educação ambiental e assim mais preparado para a participação popular em programas e projetos governamentais. Diante desse contexto de mudança de atitudes, este trabalho propõe, além da transversalidade do aprendizado sobre Educação Ambiental, um modelo baseado em Comunidades de Prática, de participação social e alinhamento com a comunidade indigena em busca da construção de um novo paradigma para a Educação Ambiental.
Les paradoxes de l’Éducation pour tous dans les pays du Sud : comprendre le fond du problème en Afrique subsaharienne
Authors: Yabouri Namiyate
Published: December 2023

Le présent article retrace l’historique, l’importance et l’esprit de l’Éducation pour tous [EPT] en rappelant les enjeux qui ont concouru au consensus mondial autour de la première convention qui l’a portée à Jomtien (1990). Au moyen d’une revue de littérature, puis d’une analyse conceptuelle et thématique, il est identifié des failles dans la mise en œuvre de l’EPT. À la suite de l’adoption des engagements collectifs au Forum de Dakar en 2000, il y a eu des mises en œuvre différenciées ou adaptatives de l’EPT dans les pays du Sud, notamment en Afrique subsaharienne francophone. Des illustrations ont été apportés au sujet des résultats paradoxaux de l’EPT en Afrique subsaharienne, mais aussi autour des postulats, des paradigmes, des stratégies et des pratiques sur sa mise en œuvre. De même, il est identifié quelques leçons issues des expériences de mise en œuvre de l’EPT.
L’éducation contre l’exploitation : la voix/e des organes africains de protection des droits de l’Homme dans l’élimination des pratiques culturelles, religieuses et/ou traditionnelles néfastes
Authors: Hoareau Émilie
Published: December 2023

Chaque 16 juin est célébrée la journée internationale de l’enfant africain en mémoire des émeutes de Soweto de 1976. De jeunes étudiant-es avaient protesté contre une réforme imposant l’enseignement en afrikaans afin de faciliter l’exploitation des personnes noires. Fomentée par des considérations traditionnelles, culturelles et/ou religieuses, plusieurs formes d’exploitation ont également fulminé en Afrique après la fermeture des écoles lors de la pandémie de Covid-19. Ainsi, à travers les époques, le lien inextricable entre éducation et exploitation demeure. La question du rôle de l’éducation dans la lutte contre l’exploitation s’est alors posée avec en filigrane celle de la compatibilité entre le droit international des droits de l’Homme et les pratiques culturelles, traditionnelles et religieuses. L’analyse de l’herméneutique africaine des droits de l’Homme a alors mis en exergue la richesse de ce système régional. En effet, les organes africains ont mobilisé l’éducation comme un moyen de prévention et de détection de l’exploitation, luttant ainsi contre les pratiques traditionnelles, culturelles et/ou religieuses néfastes. Pour autant, la culture africaine n’est pas ignorée. Bien au contraire, à la croisée des chemins entre universalisme des droits de l’Homme et particularismes, c’est le recours à l’éducation africaine qui permettra de lutter contre l’exploitation sur le continent.

Witness Oath in Criminal Proceedings
Authors: Dragović Svjetlana
Published: December 2023

The form and content of procedural actions in criminal proceedings is prescribed by law. The law obliges all procedural subjects to undertake procedural actions as prescribed. Any deviation from the prescribed results in an irregular procedural action, the consequences of which depend on the degree and significance of the irregularity for the criminal procedure. In order to prevent improper procedural actions, the law provides certain preventive measures. One of them is witness oath.

The witness oath exists the same amount of time as witnesses. Its purpose has always been the same, to contribute to the credibility of the witnesses testimony. However, the character of the oath, and therefore its text, as well as the way of taking it, i.e. the consequences of the witness's refusal to take the oath have changed and today differ from country to country. In the papear, the author will describe the oath, its concept, significance and method of takig the oath in criminal proceedings, with special reference to the oath in the criminal proceedings of Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Prosecution of Environmental Crime in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the Period 2018–2020
Authors: Kadribašić Nermin
Published: December 2023

The paper analyzes issues related to the criminal prosecution of perpetrators of crimes against the environment, especially from the aspect of criminal legislation and the practice itself in the prosecution of these crimes against the environment in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Bearing in mind that in criminal offenses against the environment, as a rule, there is no immediate victim, and that this type of criminality can remain unnoticed for a long period of time before any possible damage becomes visible, in this paper, the review of official statistical data offers an overview related to the processing of these of criminal offenses in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina for the selected three-year period from 2018 to 2020. Although the majority of criminal legislation in the countries of the former Yugoslavia, including Bosnia and Herzegovina, sets a high level of environmental protection, the analysis of official statistical data cannot conclude that the detection and prosecution of this type of criminal offense has a sufficient prioritization in Radujoš. both with administrative bodies and with criminal prosecution bodies, regardless of the developed capacities about the dangers and serious consequences of this type of criminality. In this regard, in addition to the practice of prosecuting criminal offenses against the environment in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, the paper also offers a set of recommendations for decision makers on systemic steps for adequate environmental protection.
Forensic Sciences and Ethics in the Era of Application of Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Andrić Sanela D , Ivanović Aleksandar B
Published: December 2023

Forensic sciences are an indispensable segment of criminal investigations. Forensics, as a dynamic science that is constantly developing, follows the development of modern scientific trends. The application of artificial intelligence has not bypassed forensic science, which by definition discovers modern scientific methods, adapts them and applies them with the aim of discovering and interpreting (expert) material traces from the scene of a crime. With the initial optimism of the application of artificial intelligence, especially in the development and application of information technologies in forensic databases, comes (un)justified caution. If artificial intelligence were to take over the simulation of shell, cognitive thinking and decision-making more and more over time, the question of ethical responsibility arises. This raises a number of questions, one of the most important of which is who is responsible in the event of an error in the analysis. Furthermore, if artificial intelligence also takes over the interpretations of forensic analyses, who in that case bears the responsibility for a possible complaint about the end result - the opinion.

Our paper will deal with the mentioned problems, emphasizing that the European Union, through the ENFSI network, was the first to react in the direction of studying the application of artificial intelligence in forensic sciences, with the strategic document ENFSI - Vision of the European Forensic Science Area 2030 „Improving the reliability and validity of forensic science and encouraging implementation of new technologies“, the most important parts of which will be presented in the paper.
Association of WDR36 polymorphisms with primary open-angle glaucoma
Authors: Garg Pragati , Malik Mehvish , Raza Tasleem
Published: December 2023

Background: Various genes contribute to the pathophysiology of primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). The WD repeat domain 36 (WDR36) gene may participate in T cell activation and, hence, in the pathogenesis of POAG. We investigated the association of two WDR36 gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with POAG.

Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited patients aged >40 years with POAG and investigated the rs10038177 and rs1971050 SNPs of WDR36 using polymerase chain reaction and direct DNA sequencing. All participants underwent comprehensive ocular examination, visual field assessment using the Swedish Interactive Threshold Algorithm standard 24-2 threshold test, and measurement of peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness (RNFLT) using spectral domain optical coherence tomography.

Results: We enrolled 105 patients with a mean (standard deviation) age of 55.41 (8.56) years and a male-to-female ratio of 56 (53.3%) to 49 (46.7%), most of whom had a diagnosis of POAG for 2 to 5 years (60.0%). Most participants had diabetes (90.5%) but not hypertension (88.6%). There was a significant association of rs10038177 (P<0.05), but not rs1971050 (P>0.05), with family history of glaucoma. The association between rs10038177 and intraocular pressure was significant (P<0.05), but that between rs1971050 and intraocular pressure was not (P>0.05). No significant association was observed between mean cup-to-disc ratio and either SNP (both P>0.05). For rs10038177, a significant association was found only with the RNFLT of the superior quadrant (P<0.05), whereas for rs1971050, a significant association was found with the RNFLT of all four quadrants and average RNFLT (all P<0.05). However, pairwise comparisons revealed no significant differences between genotypes (P>0.05 for all pairwise comparisons). The association of rs10038177 with glaucoma severity was insignificant (P>0.05), and most patients with the TC genotype (71.7%) had moderate severity. There was no significant association between rs1971050 and glaucoma severity (P>0.05).

Conclusions: We observed genetic links between some, but not all, characteristics of POAG and the rs10038177 and rs1971050 SNPs of WDR36. Follow-up studies on these and other WDR36 SNPs in populations with different genetic backgrounds are necessary to confirm this genetic association.
Photophysical and photodynamic analysis of different formulations of riboflavin

Background: Riboflavin (Rb) has been used in the ophthalmological procedure known as corneal cross-linking (CXL). Pathologies requiring this treatment include keratoconus, corneal ectasia, and infectious keratitis. Rb is instilled via different molecules that are transported into the tissues. However, each vehicle imparts different properties that alter the photodynamic behavior of Rb, leading to variable concentrations of free radicals within the medium. The objective of this study was to measure the concentrations of free radicals produced by commonly used Rb formulations. To determine the free radical production level of each formulation, L-tryptophan (L-Tryp) was used as a model substrate because it can be efficiently photo-oxidized.

Methods: We investigated the photodegradation of L-Tryp and its kinetics upon light exposure. The spectra were recorded using a Shimadzu UV-1800 PC spectrophotometer and a Cary Eclipse fluorescence spectrophotometer. A high-power solid-state LED light source was used for irradiation. L-Tryp degradation was performed using a 9-W LED lamp, and steady-state photolysis was conducted in quartz cells. The observed rate constants for L-Tryp degradation were determined by analyzing the changes in absorbance and fluorescence intensity. Data analysis was performed using Origin software.

Results: We examined the characteristics of the photophysical and photodynamic action of the carriers in different commercially available Rb formulations. These included a) Rb with dextran, b) Rb without dextran, c) VibeX Rapid® (hydroxypropylmethylcellulose as a vehicle), d) Trans-Epithelial Kit (I) (sodium chloride as a vehicle), and e) Trans-Epithelial Kit (II) (benzalkonium chloride as a vehicle), using L-Tryp as a model substrate, and focusing on absorption and emission spectra. VibeX Rapid® exhibited the highest photo-degradation constant. The study affirmed the stability of Rb formulations for CXL and highlighted the efficacy of VibeX Rapid® in L-Tryp photo-oxidation and this rationalizes its current use as a CXL agent.

Conclusions: We demonstrated that formulations for transport of Rb are of crucial importance in CXL applications. Rb in the VibeX Rapid® formulation is more effective in generating photo-degradation, and this reflects its superior performance in CXL. Future experiments should be designed and conducted to quantitatively differentiate the production of free radicals. Studies involving human participants could shed light on the clinical efficacy and safety of the available Rb formulations.
Hypothetical proposal for the course of retinal blood vessels in the posterior pole—description and its clinical implications
Authors: Venkatesh Pradeep
Published: December 2023

Background: Branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO) is the second-most common retinal vascular disorder. Arteriosclerotic changes at the site of obstruction and hemodynamic turbulence within the vessels are considered risk factors. Overcrossing of the vein by an artery has traditionally been considered to increase the risk of BRVO. Recent studies using optical coherence tomography and optical coherence tomography angiography have suggested a higher prevalence of vein-over-artery crossings in this disease. Nevertheless, uncertainty persists as to why some patients, even those with the same disease duration, have varying degrees of venous dilation and develop sufficient collaterals, while others develop substantial ischemia and its sequelae.

Hypothesis: Herein, it is hypothesized that because retinal blood vessels are transparent, tubular, and collapsible conduits coursing over a hollow spherical surface, the changes related to AV crossings over the entire course of a vessel, rather than at any single isolated crossing, could contribute to the risk, natural progression, and outcomes of BRVO. The study analyzed color fundus photographs from two image datasets. The first dataset comprised 100 randomly selected images from the author’s own collection at the Rajendra Prasad Center for Ophthalmic Sciences. The second dataset comprised 100 images from the MESSIDOR database; three images were excluded owing to poor focus. Using 394 observations from 197 retinal photographs, four distinct patterns of AV crossing along the course of blood vessels were recognized: (A and B) wicker basket, (C) straight, (D) widely spaced, and (E) indeterminate. The percentages of tight wicker, loose wicker, straight, widely spaced, and indeterminate patterns in the two image sets were 19% (38/200) and 16.5% (32/194), 22.5% (45/200) and 27.8% (54/194), 16.5% (33/200) and 15.5% (30/194), 22.5% (45/200) and 28.4% (55/194), and 19.5% (39/200) and 11.9% (23/194), respectively. Hence, the wicker basket pattern was the most common AV crossing pattern in both image sets.

Conclusions: The wicker basket pattern may provide structural stability and aid in maintaining pressure gradients within the retinal vascular bed. This observation of variable AV relationships at consecutive crossings may improve our understanding of the pathogenesis, natural history, and outcomes of BRVO. Future longitudinal studies including patients at risk of BRVO, or retrospective analyses of patients with BRVO who had ophthalmic examinations and archived fundus images before the vascular event, should verify the relevance of these observed vascular patterns.

ShadowCam is a high-sensitivity, high-resolution imager provided by NASA for the
Danuri (KPLO) lunar mission. ShadowCam calibration shows that it is well suited
for its purpose, to image permanently shadowed regions (PSRs) that occur near
the lunar poles. It is 205 times as sensitive as the Lunar Reconnaissance
Orbiter Camera (LROC) Narrow Angle Camera (NAC). The signal to noise ratio (SNR)
is greater than 100 over a large part of the dynamic range, and the top of the
dynamic range is high enough to accommodate most brighter PSR pixels. The
optical performance is good enough to take full advantage of the 1.7 meter/pixel
image scale, and calibrated images have uniform response. We describe some
instrument artifacts that are amenable to future corrections, making it possible
to improve performance further. Stray light control is very challenging for this
mission. In many cases, ShadowCam can image shadowed areas with directly
illuminated terrain in or near the field of view (FOV). We include thorough
qualitative descriptions of circumstances under which lunar brightness levels
far higher than the top of the dynamic range cause detector or stray light
artifacts and the size and extent of the artifact signal under those
circumstances.

This paper presents the structural design of a planar synthetic aperture radar
(SAR) antenna applied to a microsatellite. For micro-satellite applications, the
SAR antenna structure must be lightweight, flat, and designed to withstand the
launch environment. To satisfy these conditions, our novel antenna structure was
designed using aluminium (AL) alloy. Structural analysis was performed for
quasi-static load, random vibration, and shock load to verify its robustness in
the launch environment, and the results are presented here.
