Development of human pancreas
Authors: Niranjan Romini
Published: August 2023

Pancreas is an exocrine and endocrine organ. Exocrine portion secretes digestive fluid. Endocrine portion secreting insulin and glucagon etc. Pancreas developed from dorsal and ventral pancreatic buds, which arise from either side of distal foregut. When duodenum rotates to right, ventral pancreatic bud(VPB) rotates posterior along with common bile duct(CBD) and finally lies below and behind the dorsal pancreatic bud(DPB). In humans, DPB forms major part and VPB forms inferior part of head and uncinate process of pancreas. Main duct (Duct of Wirsung) is derived from whole of ventral pancreatic duct(VPD) and distal part of dorsal pancreatic duct(DPD). Main duct joins with CBD and it perforated posteromedial side of second part of duodenum at major duodenal papilla. Occasionally accessory duct might originate from proximal part of DPD and open into minor papilla. Sometimes two buds do not fuse and lead to pancreatic divisum. Abnormal rotation and fusion of buds might lead to annular pancreas. A few endodermal pancreatic evaginations may remain and migrate in bowel wall and form accessory(heterotopic) pancreas. Islets originating from DPB have more insulin synthesis. Neck, body and tail of pancreas is supplied by coeliac trunk. Derivatives of right VPB are supplied by branches of superior mesenteric artery. During rotation of VPB, superior mesenteric vessels(SMV) were engaged in between DPB and VPB. Lastly, SMV is located posterior to neck but it is anterior to uncinate process of pancreas. Detailed study of development of exocrine and endocrine portions is required for successful management of pathology of the pancreas.

Published: August 2023

O ensino mediado por metodologias ativas está se tornando cada vez mais útil e necessário nas instituições de ensino no Brasil. Dessa forma, este artigo tem como objetivo discutir sobre as metodologias ativas, utilizado o conceito de sala de aula invertida (ou Flipped Classroom) para o desenvolvimento do tema. Para tanto, foi realizada uma busca nas bases de dados Google Acadêmico e Scielo, utilizando os termos “metodologia ativa”, “sala de aula invertida” e “tecnologias na educação”, no período de março a abril de 2023, sem filtro para ano de publicação ou idioma. A sala de aula invertida apresenta como principal característica o acesso por parte do aluno ao conteúdo/conhecimento a ser desenvolvido, em um momento pré-aula. Isso permite que o momento da sala de aula seja utilizado para esclarecimento de dúvidas e aprofundamento do conhecimento em atividades práticas, permitindo assim uma melhor utilização do tempo e espaço em sala. Dessa forma, os resultados educacionais podem ser significativamente mais promissores do que os do método de ensino convencional, com maior compreensão dos alunos, melhor aproveitamento em avaliações, desenvolvimento de pensamento crítico e maior autonomia. Por outro lado, é necessário que os alunos e os professores estejam dispostos a ressignificar a forma de ensino e de aprendizagem pautados na transmissão de conteúdo, uma vez que pontos negativos também foram ressaltados, como aumento da carga horária de estudo prévio e dificuldades em adaptação à nova metodologia.

Measuring the Accuracy and the Potential for Standardizing Students’ Evaluations of Teaching: The Use of Measurable Bench-Marking Questions
Authors: Fitchett Jennifer , Sheridan Craig
Published: August 2023

Student evaluations of teaching (SETs) are widely used to quantitatively assess the competence of university lecturers. SETs can be used formatively to direct lecturers in improving their teaching, and more summatively in determining the suitability of a candidate for employment, confirmation in post or tenure, promotion, and performance-based salary adjustment or reward. The validity and suitability of SETs remains heavily contested, yet few papers provide workable recommendations to improve the validity of the tool or the interpretation. This results in perpetuating distrust for SETs, and, in cases, lecturers behaving to artificially enhance their scores. We present a method to assess the accuracy of SETs, either informally by the lecturer in understanding the outputs, or formally by the administrative body that distributes SETs and their scores. We provide recommendations for standardizations of score outputs using bench-marking questions that can highlight biased responses, and to adjust output scores and assessment selections accordingly.

Authors: Baculima Mora Kevin Ismael , Aquilera Crespo Marcelo
Published: August 2023

La investigación pretende identificar si existe una reparación integral desde una perspectiva jurídica entre el pluralismo y monismo en relación con la justicia indígena y justicia ordinaria. Para ello, se compara la integración de la reparación integral en la justicia ordinaria y la justicia indígena desde un punto de vista jurisprudencial doctrinario. Dentro de los métodos que se utilizaron se parte de un paradigma inductivo y deductivo, que se ha encargado de exponer las características del problema, es decir, se estudia la etimología de la conducción o hacia donde direcciona el reconocimiento del pluralismo y los ordenamientos jurídicos de las comunidades indígenas como parte de su cultura. Los resultados revelaron que la Carta Magna del Ecuador reconoce al Estado como pluricultural, estableciendo que los pueblos y nacionalidades indígenas tienen la capacidad de practicar un sistema jurídico fundamentado en la tradición ancestral, costumbres y derecho propio. Se concluye que, los Estados interculturales y plurinacionales no pueden ser dialógico, concretizo y garantista, es decir, no centrarse en una perspectiva donde se pretenda solucionar aspectos específicos y efectivos de manera inconstante e intrascendente. Por tal razón, el analista debe conocer los valores, costumbres y derechos, donde se regula la actuación de las personas.

Authors: Rakhmad Hariyono , Purwadi Agus , Phoa Victor
Published: August 2023

Sensors in the electronic world are parts that are used to detect changes in the physical or chemical environment. The output from the sensor is converted into an electrical quantity that represents the change in the environment. Sensors are widely used in agriculture, especially to detect changes in the physical or chemical environment related to plant growth, for example: temperature sensors, light sensors, soil moisture sensors, and so on. In agricultural applications that have a large area, the problem of location and distance from the sensor to the control center is a problem in itself. To solve this problem, a sensor system is designed that does not use wired (wireless) connections. In the application of wireless communication systems there is an antenna part which is very important which can affect the rate of sending sensor data. To improve the performance of wireless sensors in sending data, it is necessary to integrate the appropriate antenna with the sensor transceiver system. So this research was conducted to integrate circular polarized antennas with sensors to increase the gain in the transmission. From this integration, measurements are then taken to obtain the value of the radiation pattern, gain and bandwidth. From the resulting measurements, it can be seen that there is an increase in the gain of the wireless sensor transmission using the 2.4 GHz frequency

Menemukan Makna Pembenaran Di Dalam Perumpamaan Yesus Menurut Lukas 18:9-14
Authors: Sianturi Adi Haryono
Published: August 2023

The teachings of Jesus in the Gospels contain very many parables. These parables remain relevant in the context of today's life which is very complex in its aspects of life. Apart from that, the reading of parables is often read in an allegorical style that has been passed down by the church fathers and has been going on for a very long time. The church should have a new way of reading parable texts to get a more contextual meaning of the text today. This article tries to present an existentialist approach to reading the parables of Jesus, namely one of reading parable texts by understanding these parables as pure parables of that era. The writer argues that by reading Luke 18: 9-14 with an existentialist approach, the meaning of justification intended by Jesus in the text will be found clearly.

A Natureza foi e é, historicamente, alvo e musa de pensadores, exploradores, artistas e românticos. Foi movimento, com o naturalismo, foi riqueza e objeto, foi assombro e misticismo, foi religião e filosofia. Ao mesmo tempo que se afasta do homem, tornando-se primeira natureza, para então ser subjugada e explorada, é a Natureza de tudo aquilo que é dito como natural, é saudável, aceito e vendido. Servindo ao escopo do presente trabalho o primeiro capítulo tratará de quatro contextualizações do conceito de natureza: na modernidade clássica, no romantismo alemão, a crise da Natureza e Natureza e Geografia. Sendo apresentado como um capítulo teórico e filosófico será essencial para pensar criticamente os produtos do segundo e terceiro capítulos, onde serão apresentados a contextualização, metodologia e resultados da pesquisa. Tendo como objeto de estudo o Parque Estadual da Serra do Brigadeiro (MG) como unidade de conservação e sua região de entorno, a construção histórica do conceito de natureza e o debate da ecologia da paisagem nos ajuda a compreender os problemas em sua materialidade. Um destes problemas é a fragmentação da paisagem, que é quantificável e um dos objetivos finais da dissertação. Como resultado, é analisada criticamente essa fragmentação a partir do índice de retalhamento e de conceitos da Geografia como paisagem e natureza. Palavras-chave: Natureza. Paisagem. Fragmentação.

The Law Applicable to Tortious Liability: a Comparative Analysis of Article 4 of The Rome II Regulation and Private International Law in Ghana
Authors: Quartey Michael K , Coleman Theophilus Edwin
Published: August 2023

The law applicable to tortious liability involving a foreign element has become one of the most vexed questions in private international law. This can be attributed to technological advancements and the movement of people and goods across state lines. Accidents involving a foreign element are, therefore, reasonably foreseeable. Torts such as online defamation, accidents involving self-driving vehicles, and other technological acts involving a foreign element have heightened the possibility of cross-border torts. Considering the complexities associated with cross-border torts, the European Union (EU) has enacted the Rome II Regulation. The overarching objective of enacting the Rome II Regulation is to promote certainty and predictability when dealing with cross-border disputes, irrespective of the country of the court in which an action is brought in the EU. Conversely, Ghana relies on the broadly drafted section 54 of the Courts Act 459 of 1993 and common law principles of private international law to determine the aspects of choice of law. This has made the position in Ghana very uncertain and unpredictable due to the broad discretion given to courts under section 54 of the Courts Act, particularly in determining the law applicable to cross-border tort cases. Also, Ghanaian courts have applied the much-criticised double actionability rule to determine the rights and obligations of parties in cross-border tort cases. In light of the uncertain and unpredictable nature of Ghanaian law, some academics have suggested that Ghana adopt the traditional rule to determine the applicable law in torts. This article seeks to critically analyse the applicability of article 4 of the Rome II Regulation regarding non-contractual liabilities. The article compares how courts in EU member states have applied article 4 to determine the applicable law in torts, to how the Ghanaian courts use private international law rules to determine the applicable law in torts. The essence of the comparison is to ascertain whether Ghana can draw some legislative and judicial lessons from the position under article 4. In addition, the significance of the comparison is to determine whether the approach under the Rome II Regulation can serve as a basis for legal reforms in Ghana. Most importantly, the article explores the extent to which the legal approach under the EU law can bolster judicial certainty and predictability in Ghanaian law.
Examining the Propriety of Section 84(1) of the Sheriffs and Civil Process Act of Nigeria from the Lens of the Supreme Court’s Decision in Central Bank of Nigeria V Insterstella Com Ltd
Authors: Eyongndi David Tarh-Akong , Odeyinde Oluwakemi Oluyinka
Published: August 2023

Where a person has litigated a case against anybody or the government and judgment is given in monetary value, where the judgment debtor fails to voluntarily settle the judgment sum, the judgment creditor must enforce the judgment. In enforcing the judgment which is usually via garnishee proceedings, the Sheriff and Civil Process Act (SCPA) provides that the consent of the Attorney General (AG) must be sought and obtained once the funds to be used in satisfying the judgment are in the possession of the public officer. This paper, while underscoring the rationale for this prerequisite, examines its propriety vis-à-vis the finality of a court judgment, by adopting doctrinal methodology. It raises the question that since the AG’s consent is to be sought and same can be denied, what option, if any, is open to a person after such denial? Can a mandamus be used to compel the AG to consent, seeing that the giving of consent is not a duty to be performed but a discretion? The paper argues that this practice amounts to subjugating the implementation of Court’s determination/decision to the discretion of the AG which is inimical to the smooth delivery of justice. It may undermine the sanctity of court’s pronouncements as well as democracy. Therefore, the paper calls for the abolition of this practice as way forward.

However, while AI-powered chatbots have enhanced user experiences, customer satisfaction, and efficiency in industries like customer support and service, they also raise potential ethical and privacy concerns. Medical chatbots, in particular, pose legal and ethical challenges that require careful management and the development of appropriate ethical frameworks. Understanding the advancements, innovations, and impact of AI on chatbot technology is essential for recognizing the potential benefits and challenges these systems present. By addressing ethical and privacy concerns, chatbots can responsibly shape the future of human-computer interactions, further contributing to the broader understanding of AI's role in transforming industries and enhancing user experiences.
Meddig ér a nemzetközi közösség keze? Az újabb koszovói válság értékelése
Authors: Németh Ferenc
Published: August 2023

Észak-Koszovóban példátlan módon csaptak össze a szerb tüntetők KFOR-békefenntartókkal, melynek köszönhetően Koszovó ismét az érdeklődés fókuszába került. Az események nem tekinthetők teljesen váratlannak, ugyanakkor a KFOR-katonák megsérülése, illetve Koszovó megjelölése mint az összecsapásokat „provokáló” fél egyaránt példa nélküliek. A május vége óta tartó kiújult válságsorozat újfent megakaszthatja a Belgrád–Pristina-dialógust, melyben pont a tavasz folyamán sikerült előrehaladást elérnie az Európai Uniónak. Mindeközben a Koszovó-kérdésben hagyományosan érdekelt feleknek, az Egyesült Államoknak és az Európai Uniónak is újra kell gondolnia helyi politikáját, mert normatív erejüket megkérdőjelezve olyan régi-új szereplők tehetnek szert nagyobb befolyásra, mint Törökország.

Schools often face problems in manually recording student contributions and savings: ineffectiveness, inefficiency, and inaccuracies in recording, calculating, or the three data are needed again. In this study, we offer Savings Management Information Systems (SiMantab), which aim to solve these problems. In order to realize the research objectives, we proposed to apply CodeIgniter to develop SiMantab for recording student data, student guardians, information on savings, reports on student transactions, and payments. The outcomes of this research are: 1) SiMantab can generate daily savings reports for each student and provide reports for student guardians'; 2) SiMantab allows student guardians to monitor payment activities such as tuition fees in auto debit savings; 3) SiMantab is able to convey information bills statement on the student guardian's menu; and 4) The school obtain information on students' payments record based on the student data such as gender and class displayed on the supervisor's main menu.

This study aims to investigate the optimum dosage of Bokashi and Phonska NPK fertilizer on the growth and production of the Inpari 42 rice variety. This investigation was conducted at the agricultural location of Ulu Mowewe Village, Mowewe District, East Kolaka Regency. The experiment used was the Split Plot Design (RPT). The factorial pattern consists of two treatment factors, namely the Bokashi (B) treatment factor with three levels, namely: B1 = 1.2 kg/plot, B2 = 2.4 kg/plot, and B3 = 4.8 kg/plot, and the treatment factor Phonska NPK, which consists of three levels, namely N1 = 0.18 kg/plot, N2 = 0.36 kg/plot, and N1 = 0.54 kg/plot. Parameters observed in the study were: plant height, number of tillers, number of leaves, leaf length, leaf width, panicle length, number of panicles or clumps, number of grain or panicles, number of filled grain or panicles, the weight of 1000 grain grains, dry milled grain yield (GKG) per plot, Milled Dry Unhulled grain yield (GKG) per conversion. The data were processed using variance (ANOVA) and followed by the Least Significant Difference Test (LSD). Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the combined dose of Bokashi and Phonska NPK fertilizer significantly affected plant height (cm), the number of tillers, the number of leaves (strands), leaf length (cm), leaf width (cm), panicle length (cm), number/panicle, total grain/panicle, total grain/panicle, and yield of dry milled grain (GKG)/slot (kg), the yield of dry milled unhulled grain (GKG)/conversion (tons) The dose treatment of Bokashi and Phonska NPK showed that the optimum combination dose of Bokashi and Phonska NPK for the growth and yield of Inpari 42 rice was B3N2 (4.8 kg and 0.3 kg/plot).
ANÁLISIS DE LA EXCEPCIÓN DEL PROCEDIMIENTO MONITORIO ART. 357 INCISO SEGUNDO COGEP Y LA VULNERACIÓN CONSTITUCIONAL DEL DERECHO A LA DEFENSA DEL ART. 76 LETRA G DE LA CONSTITUCIÓN DEL ECUADOR

Published: August 2023

El Código Orgánico General de Procesos, ha instaurado el procedimiento monitorio a través del cual los propietarios de deudas determinadas, líquidas, exigibles y de plazo vencida que no consten en un título ejecutivo y que no excedan de los cincuenta salarios básicos unificados (SBU) del trabajador, puedan ejercer su derecho de cobro, garantizando que este procedimiento sea célere y efectivo, contribuyendo así a descongestionar los procesos de administración de justicia. 

Este procedimiento incluye el patrocinio de un abogado, con una limitante: si el salario es inferior a los tres salarios básicos unificados (SBU) no se requiere este patrocinio; lo cual contraría lo dispuesto en la Constitución  que expresa que todo trámite judicial requiere el patrocinio de un abogado, además en la práctica  los casos presentan una oposición a la demanda  lo cual conlleva a una audiencia única, para lo cual  las partes requieren  para su defensa de un  abogado, a quien también se le limita el derecho al trabajo. Frente a esta situación se aborda la importancia de que el patrocinio de un abogado sea un requisito obligatorio independientemente de la cuantía de la obligación.
