Published: January 2024

Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) gene polymorphism has been investigated by PCR-RFLP method on 80 unrelated female birds each of Kadaknath and its crossbred selected randomly from Department of Poultry Science of the University. The 3 different RFLP patterns revealed restriction fragment of 621, 364 and 257 bp sizes in Kadaknath and Kadaknath crossbred birds. This indicated presence of 2 restriction sites at 621 bp (site A) and 364, 257 bp (site B) position in 621bp amplicon. Genotypic frequencies in Kadaknath and Kadaknath crossbred birds were found to be 0.41 and 0.35 for AA genotype, 0.37 and 0.38 for AB genotype and 0.21 and 0.27 for BB genotype, respectively, whereas the allelic frequencies in Kadaknath and Kadaknath crossbred birds were 0.60 and 0.54 for A allele and 0.40 and 0.46 for B allele respectively. The Kadaknath population was in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium, however Kadaknath crossbred population under study was not in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium. The differences between least squares means of various genotypes for age at sexual maturity and adult body weight at 20, 40 and 52 weeks were nonsignificant (P>0.05). Genotype BB was superior for body weight at 20, 40 and 52 weeks in Kadaknath and Kadaknath crossbred birds. Significant breed × genotype interaction was found for egg production at 40 weeks of age and higher egg production was recorded for AA genotype in Kadaknath and AB genotype in Kadaknath crossbred birds. Genotype AA was superior for egg weight at 40 and 52 weeks in Kadaknath and Kadaknath crossbred birds.

Published: January 2024

Industrial wastes and agricultural by-products are increasingly used in crop production as supplements along with fertilizers. An experiment was conducted during the winter (rabi) seasons of 2021 and 2022 at the research farm of the ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to determine the individual and combined effects of bioaugmented Linz-Donawitz (LD) slag and biochar on physiological and yield attributes of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) variety HD 2967. Bioaugmented products with cow-dung, LD slag and biochar in different combinations were prepared in laboratory scale and applied in crates. All the treatments were applied with 100%RDF except control. Growth parameters such as total leaf area, chlorophyll content, NDVI; and leaf photosynthetic attributes such as net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate were affected by bio-augmentation. Our study reported an increase in total leaf area (18.2–21.3%), chlorophyll content (26.5–31.0%), net photosynthetic rate (93.2%), stomatal conductance (61.3%), transpiration rate (24.7%) in bioaugmented treatments with LD slag and biochar over 100%RDF. A yield increase of 25.6 and 27.1% was found in bioaugmented treatments with a combination of LD slag (2 t/ha) and biochar (1 t/ha) over 100%RDF during 2021 and 2022, respectively. No. of spikes, grains per spike and dry biomass weight were positively influenced by bioaugmentation. The bioaugmented treatments with a combination of LD slag and biochar gave significantly higher grain yield, followed by bioaugmented LD slag compared to bioaugmented biochar alone in the respective application rate of treatments.

An experiment was conducted during rainy (kharif) seasons of 2019 and 2020 at the research farm of ICAR Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to screen 90 genotypes of scented short grained rice (Oryza sativa L.) for Fusarium fujikuroi resistance. Genotypes Kankjeer A, Lectimanchi-A, Sumati, Pankhali-203, GR-102, NWGR- 3042, Geetanjali, R 1432-261-105-2-1-2, Khaskani, C-4-63-G, Calrose 76, JJ 92, Koliha, Hari Shankar, Kusuma, IR 74717-3-3-1-3, IR 74725-115-3-3-3, IR 74728-134-1-1-3, Hansraj, Anterved and GAR-1 were identified as moderately resistant with the disease rating of 3 in both the years of evaluation. Further, a set of genotypes with different disease response was evaluated for different parameters including root length, shoot length, number of fibres/threads in roots, days of symptom appearance and area under disease progress curve (AUDPC). Disease severity was observed to be significantly correlated (r = 1.0) with AUDPC and days required for the symptom appearance (r = 0.95). Results indicated that apart from the disease severity, AUDPC could also be considered as a one of the component for the bakanae disease resistance. The resistant sources identified in the present study can be utilized in rice breeding programme against bakanae disease.

This essay relates the learning journey that I have been on as a non-Indigenous post-secondary educator teaching college courses in an Indigenous community and engaging in learning and unlearning about Indigenous Peoples and their history and world views in Canada. What I wish I had known before teaching college courses on reserve includes (1) more about Indigenous Peoples and their history in Canada, and (2) the four Rs of my responsibility as a non-Indigenous post-secondary educator. My journey of learning and unlearning has just begun and will be ongoing as Indigenous history is long and complicated, and Indigenous knowledges embrace contextual knowledge and relationships emerging from a specific Indigenous epistemology.
Navigating Everyday Multiculturalism in the Culture Chats Writing Program
Authors: Li Jing
Published: January 2024

Taking a grounded approach to multiculturalism and the lens of informal learning and community of practice, this study reports findings from a community-based collaborative research project that explored a group of immigrant women writers’ perceptions of and experiences with multiculturalism in a community writing workshop in Metro Vancouver, a highly multicultural and multilingual regional district in the Province of British Columbia. Drawing on observation, interviews, and written artifacts created by women writers regarding their experiences with and reflection on everyday multicultural encounters, we illustrate how learning possibilities and multilayered dimensions of multiculturalism unfolded within the quotidian intercultural setting of the writing workshop, and how the shared practices of writing and intercultural communication contributed to the construction of an ephemeral community of “hybrid knowing and knowledge.”

Returning to education to complete Grade 12 or improve high school grades after a period away can be an overwhelming and or anxiety inducing event for many students. Upon their return to education, many factors contribute to student persistence relating to completion in Adult Basic Education (ABE). It is essential to understand these factors to ensure student success in these types of programs, particularly in rural areas. The current study samples 12 ABE students through attending a regional college in Southwest Saskatchewan. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and reviewed through thematic analysis to identify barriers and supports in ABE programing. The study found that several supports—including flexibility, class size, and educators—were seen by students as contributing to persistence. Barriers to persistence with ABE centered around three themes: external factors, educational experiences, and personal experiences. The study finds that students in ABE programing are looking for positive relationships with educators and flexible program schedules to accommodate their adult life commitments.

Published: January 2024

Lipoma is classified as a neoplasm of mesenchymal origin and is considered one of the most common soft tissue tumors. It is relatively rare in the maxillofacial region, with between 1% and 4% of tumors affecting this area. The most common sites of intraoral lipoma are the jugal mucosa, lips, tongue and lingual floor. The relevance of this case is due to the location of the lesion on the jugal mucosa and its proximity to important vessels such as the facial artery. The aim of this report is to describe the treatment and management of a lipoma in the oral cavity. A 50-year-old female patient was referred to the UFBA/OSID Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology outpatient clinic complaining of "having a lipoma removed from her face". On clinical examination, she presented with good mouth opening and an asymptomatic, hardened increase in volume on palpation of the jugal mucosa on the right side. Imaging (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) showed an increase in volume in the region of the right jugal mucosa. During trans-surgery, a lesion measuring approximately 04cm in length was noticed, with a yellowish appearance, encapsulated and with a lower density when compared to 10% formalin. An excisional biopsy was carried out and the patient was referred for pathology examination, which was conclusive for lipoma. The patient is being followed up post-operatively and is progressing well, with no signs of recurrence. Lipoma is treated with surgical excision and complete removal of the lesion. It is therefore essential to correlate the diagnosis with the patient's clinical signs and the anatomopathological examination in order to make the correct diagnosis.
Unilateral laparoscopic nephrectomy due to incomplete ureteral triplication: Pediatric case report
Authors: Budtinger Filho Ricardo , Santos Domiciano Gabriela , Giacomelli Lucas , Beatriz Firmino Werner Laura , Missassi Heller Thainara , Ambrosi Eduarda
Published: January 2024

Ureteral triplication is due to the abnormal development of the ureteral bud, which begins in the 4th week of gestation. The ureteral bud, originating from the mesonephric duct, comes into contact with the nephrogenic blastema, and then the metanephric mesenchyme induces the ureteral bud to divide. Interference in this branching process can result in some anomalies, such as duplication or triplication of the ureter. Ureteral triplication is a very rare congenital disease. It is slightly more common in females and is usually associated with other congenital anomalies.

Overview of risks associated with heavy rainfall in Niterói - RJ
Authors: Moreira Marques Mauricio
Published: January 2024

Natural disasters are surprising events that cause immeasurable losses, and it is a topic that has been discussed worldwide. Intense and/or prolonged precipitation can cause disasters, catastrophes of gigantic proportions. In Brazil, the Southeast, South and Northeast regions suffer from this problem more recurrently. Inserted in this context, Niterói, one of the most important cities in the State of Rio de Janeiro, presents, especially in the summer months, disasters associated with intense and/or prolonged rains, such as flooding, flash floods and mass movements. This work presents an overview of these disasters and their evolution in recent years, with the purpose of contributing to a better understanding of the risks associated with these disasters and the impacts on the urban site of the Municipality of Niterói. From the panorama presented, it can be seen that the city remains vulnerable to the event of intense rain, since the associated disasters occur frequently in the same affected locations, which points to a possible lack of risk mitigation in most places that present this recurrent behavior.

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the impact of previous delivery mode on pregnancy outcomes in patients with secondary infertility after frozen-thawed embryo transfer.Methods: This prospective observational study included 140 patients experiencing secondary infertility. Of these, 70 patients had a previous cesarean delivery (CD), while the remaining 70 patients had a previous normal vaginal delivery (NVD). The primary outcome was the implantation rate. The secondary outcomes included rates of clinical pregnancy, chemical pregnancy, miscarriage, and ectopic pregnancy.Results: The comparison of all fertility outcomes between the two groups revealed no statistically significant differences. The implantation rate was 40.4% in the CD group and 41.7% in the NVD group (p=0.842). The clinical pregnancy rate was 50% in the CD group and 49.3% in the NVD group (p=0.932), while the chemical pregnancy rate was 14.6% in the CD group and 19% in the NVD group (p=0.591). The miscarriage rates in the CD and NVD groups were 20% and 17.6%, respectively (p=0.803). One case of tubal ectopic pregnancy occurred in the NVD group (1.4%).Conclusion: The mode of prior delivery did not significantly impact pregnancy outcomes following frozen-thawed embryo transfer.

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
Authors: Barker Shaker
Published: January 2024

Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a common spinal disorder that primarily affects adolescents during their growth spurt. It is characterized by a lateral rotation curvature of the spine, typically in an “S” or “C” shape. The exact cause of this condition is still unknown, but it is believed to be influenced by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Symptoms of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis may vary depending on the severity of the curvature, ranging from mild back pain to noticeable changes in posture. Early detection and intervention are essential to prevent further progression of the curve and to minimize potential complications. Treatment options include observation, bracing, and in severe cases, surgery. Regular monitoring and follow-up care are crucial in managing this condition and ensuring the overall well-being of affected individuals.

Published: January 2024

Tuberculosis (TB), mainly caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, accounts for 10 million cases worldwide per year, remaining a major problem for public health. The anti-TB drug isoniazid (INH) is recommended by the WHO. Despite of effective drugs, some individuals do not respond to standard treatment that can result in varying degrees of adverse drug reactions. One of the factors related to the variability in individual response to treatment is the presence of polymorphisms in genes encoding drug-metabolizing proteins, which can alter the protein’s activity. The NAT2 gene encodes Arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), the main enzyme responsible for INH metabolism. Genetic variants found in NAT2 coding region affect N-acetylation. The rate of substrate metabolism defines the phenotype of individuals as fast, intermediate, slow, or ultra-slow acetylators. The slow phenotype has been associated with high risk of hepatotoxicity during TB treatment, and this risk is shown to be greater when an ultra-slow acetylator is identified. Furthermore, fast phenotype could be associated with extensive TB treatment due to greater drug clearance and therefore lower bioavailability of INH. The identification and use of biomarkers for phenotype prediction could minimize unfavorable therapeutic outcomes and optimize the effectiveness of tuberculosis treatment.

Published: January 2024

The use of high-fidelity synthetic data for data augmentation is an area of growing interest in data science. In this chapter, the concept of synthetic data is introduced, and different types of synthetic data are discussed in terms of their utility or fidelity. Approaches to synthetic data generation are presented and compared with computer modelling and simulation approaches, highlighting the unique benefits of high-fidelity synthetic data. One of the main applications of high-fidelity synthetic data is supporting the training and validation of machine learning algorithms, where it can provide a virtually unlimited amount of diverse and high-quality data to improve the accuracy and robustness of models. Furthermore, high-fidelity synthetic data can address missing data and biases due to under-sampling using techniques such as BayesBoost, as well as boost sample sizes in scenarios where the real data is based on a small sample. Another important application is generating virtual patient cohorts, such as digital twins, to estimate counterfactuals in silico trials, allowing for better prediction of treatment outcomes and personalised medicine. The chapter concludes by identifying areas for further research in the field, including developing more efficient and accurate synthetic data generation methods and exploring the ethical implications of using synthetic data.
Daily Use of Digital Literacy among Young People with Intellectual Disabilities: A Capability Approach Study
Authors: Boisvert Marie-Eve , Odier-Guedj Delphine , Moulin Floriane , Lefebvre Marie-Eve
Published: January 2024

Although recent studies have highlighted young people with intellectual disabilities’ (ID) difficulties with reading and writing, it is not well-know how these skills are used in their daily life and, even less, regarding their digital literacy. Consequently, the aim of this study was to describe the daily use of digital literacy among adolescents, aged 15–21 years, with ID. An additional aim was to identify the factors that facilitated or hindered the various reading and writing practices beyond the classroom context, including home and other familiar spaces like the grocery store. To do so, the digital literacy practices of two adolescents were identified through an ethnographic multi-case study by using creative methods to generate qualitative data. Through Sen’s and Nussbaum’s capability frameworks, it was found that these two young people employed digital literacy through applications on mobile phones and electronic tablets. They developed different capabilities and functionings, particularly “affiliation” and “senses, imagination, and thoughts”. The discussion section of this study focuses on how daily- and school-based digital literacy usages can be bridged to support young people with IDs’ learning and engagement at school.

Cristo el Médico
Authors: Caruana Salvino ,   Order of Augustinian Recollects
Published: January 2024

El artículo aborda la figura de Cristo como Médico, y hace en primer lugar una presentación sintética del acercamiento de los escritores patrísticos anteriores a san Agustín a este tema. De este modo se presenta el pensamiento de san Ignacio de Antioquía, san Policarpo de Esmirna,sSan Justino, san Clemente de Alejandría, Orígenes, Tertuliano, san Cipriano, Juan Casiano, Efrén el Sirio, entre otros. Posteriormente aborda directamente el tema en las obras agustinianas, para destacar cómo la humanidad está herida por el pecado y necesita del Médico divino que es Cristo. Se ponen de manifiesto las diversas imágenes y metáforas que san Agustín utiliza para hablar de este tema, así como la importancia de la salus la salud/salvación que Cristo ha traído a los aegrus/infirmus, a los seres humanos, que se encuentran enfermos por el pecado o simplemente debilitados por los efectos del mismo. Se presenta, asimismo, la Sagrada Escritura como la medicina que ayuda a poder sanar de los males del pecado y de las tentaciones de este mundo. Finalmente hace una reflexión sobre el valor curativo que la misma Escritura tuvo en la vida de san Agustín recordando el célebre pasaje de las Confesiones del Tolle lege.

Published: January 2024

El presente artículo presenta las grandes líneas de la hermenéutica agustiniana de Is 10,23 LXX en sermones ad populum de Agustín de Hipona. En su predicación aparece este locus exegético de la Patrística que se remonta a autores como Ireneo de Lyon y Orígenes de Alejandría. Brevemente veremos cómo aparece la mención y exégesis del texto de Isaías a lo largo de la producción agustiniana, para luego detenernos en la utilización del texto por parte de Agustín en contexto homilético. Nociones de retórica clásica y elementos teológicos mostrarán la finalidad y la riqueza de la ratio interpretandi agustiniana.
La teología mariana predicada de san Agustín: los Sermones de Navidad
Authors: Weinberg Heinrich ,   Order of Augustinian Recollects
Published: January 2024

En el artículo se hace la presentación de las ideas que san Agustín destaca sobre la Virgen María en sus sermones de Navidad. Se hace en primer lugar una presentación de dichos sermones, para posteriormente abordar el tema de los dos nacimientos de Cristo, que es usado para explicar las dos naturalezas en Cristo (divina y humana). Se destacan asimismo los sermones navideños en los que san Agustín señala el paralelismo entre la Virgen María y la Iglesia, ya ambas son vírgenes y madres. Como un tema central de los sermones de Navidad de san Agustín, el artículo destaca la virginidad perpetua de María. Finalmente se ofrecen unas conclusiones en las que se pone de manifiesto que los sermones de Navidad de san Agustín que tratan sobre la Virgen María son parte de su “teología predicada”. Así como sus grandes tratados desarrollan la Mariología, sus sermones son la popularización de dicho pensamiento mariano.
Pragmatic Analyses of Indispensability Arguments
Authors: Gan Nathaniel ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: January 2024

According to the Quine-Putnam indispensability argument (QPIA), we should be realists about mathematics because mathematics is indispensable to science. QPIA’s reasoning can be understood in two ways. Under the confirmational analysis, QPIA argues that mathematics is confirmed as part of our best scientific theories. Under the pragmatic analysis, QPIA argues that our scientific practices implicitly assume the truth of mathematics. The usual reasons given in favour of the pragmatic analysis are that it affords advantages to proponents of QPIA by avoiding some dependencies of the confirmational analysis. This paper argues that these reasons are indecisive, because the pragmatic analysis introduces some dependencies of its own. Nevertheless, the paper also argues, there are other reasons to prefer the pragmatic analysis. QPIA is an instance of a wider class of realist arguments—indispensability arguments—and the pragmatic analysis yields a preferable overall understanding of indispensability arguments than does the confirmational analysis.
Znaczenie religii w życiu młodzieży szkolnej wobec jej zachowań dysfunkcjonalnych
Authors: Moczuk Eugeniusz , Leśniak-Moczuk Arkadiusz D.
Published: January 2024

W społeczeństwie ponowoczesnym następuje zmniejszanie wpływu wiary religijnej w procesie socjalizacji młodzieży. Młodzież wychowywana w retoryce niezależności, pomimo podążaniu w kierunku indywidualności musi pozostać pod pośrednim wpływem instytucji, norm prawnych i kodów kulturowych. W artykule postawiono cel badawczy pozwalający stwierdzić na podstawie reprezentatywnej próby badawczej zależności pomiędzy religijnością młodzieży szkolnej a ich zachowaniami dysfunkcjonalnymi. Z przeprowadzonych badań wynika, że badani nieletni określający się jako katolicy i prawosławni, dużo rzadziej niż wyznający inne religie i niewierzący dopuszczali się zachowań dysfunkcjonalnych. Im większe znaczenie religijności w życiu codziennym respondentów, tym mniejsza była ich skłonność do zachowań dysfunkcjonalnych, stosowania środków psychoaktywnych, większa odwaga do przyznania się, gdyby ulegli narkomanii, mniejsza częstotliwość wchodzenia w relacje z osobami z dysfunkcjonalnych środowisk i rzadszy kontakt z policją. Zbadane związki religijności uczniów z mniejszą ich podatnością na uleganie demoralizacji świadczą o pozytywnym oddziaływaniu wiary na życie społeczne młodego pokolenia. Człowiek obojętny wobec wiary jest nieczuły na krzywdę innych, cechuje go postawa egoizmu i znieczulicy, a nadużywając szykan i niechęci stwarza problemy społeczne.

This type of case study is research that focuses on just one selected problem and wants to be understood in depth, ignoring other incidents. The research results show that Friday blessing alms will have a vertical and horizontal impact. Vertically, the giver of alms will feel directly that he feels close to Allah, close to good and far from evil. Horizontally, he will be close to society and loved by people. The social impact for the recipients of alms benefits is that it will produce happiness hormones (endorphins). People who receive alms are like getting new nutrition from gifts from other people.

The use of AB mix in hydroponic cultivation has side effects on body health because it is a chemical fertilizer. ). Liquid organic fertilizer is fertilizer in liquid form made from a fermented mixture of compost, natural ingredients and water and can provide nutrients according to plant needs. In hydroponic cultivation there are several weaknesses, including the occurrence of nutrient deposition, especially in the wick system because the nutrient water in the wick system is passive. To reduce the occurrence of nutrient solution deposition in the wick system used in this research, technology is needed that can reduce the particle size in the planting medium so that it is more easily decomposed and absorbed by plant roots. The method used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 3 treatments and 5 repetitions, consisting of: P1 = AB mix 100%, P3 = AB Mix 50% + POC nano 50%, P5 = POC nano 100%. The data obtained were analyzed using ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) using the SPSS (Statistical package for the Social Sciences) application. If there is a real difference, continue with Duncan's New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at the 5% level. The results obtained from the influence of POC nanotechnology on the growth of red spinach plants can be seen from the average height of P1 plants, namely 18.74 cm, the average number of leaves 35.2 (strands), wet weight 15.84 g, dry weight 1.4 g. The application of nanotechnology liquid organic fertilizer provides significantly different results on the growth of spinach plants.

The objective of this study is to create a technology-driven application prototype, named "Bayadome Geotours," as a cutting-edge solution to enhance geotourism governance and environmental conservation in the Bayah Dome Geopark, Banten. This research advances the utilisation of information and geospatial technology to improve visitor experiences and bolster local community involvement. It achieves this through an emphasis on needs analysis, prototype design, implementation, and testing. The Bayadome Geotours prototype is specifically engineered to offer a dynamic and engaging tourism encounter. Geospatial navigation capabilities enable users to digitally explore geosites, while an intuitive user interface assures accessibility for visitors with different levels of knowledge. This programme offers precise and comprehensive geological information, providing a novel method to enhance comprehension of the geological resources found in the Bayah Dome Geopark. Bayadome Geotours is a good example of the value of local community involvement in geotourism administration. This application serves as both a travel guide and a venue for the exchange of knowledge, local narratives, and cultural heritage. Engaging the public in sharing information fosters a stronger connection between tourists and the environment, resulting in a beneficial influence on the preservation of geosites and the overall management of destinations. Prototype testing conducted using a unit testing methodology demonstrates the successful execution of all system functionalities. The JEST tool's test results confirm that the Bayadome Geotours application is prepared for distribution to the general user base. Nevertheless, there are obstacles in the way of effectively managing and modernising the application, as well as achieving general acceptance, that must be addressed in order to guarantee the ongoing triumph of this prototype. However, Bayadome Geotours has created significant opportunities for advancing sustainable geotourism governance.

Visibilidades midiáticas da comida em diálogo no perfil Chefs na Quarentena no Instagram
Authors: Scabin Nara Lya Cabral
Published: January 2024

Este artigo examina as formas pelas quais enunciados presentes no perfil do Instagram Chefs na Quarentena dialogam com visibilidades hegemônicas da comida na cultura midiática. Reconhecendo a emergência, nos últimos anos, de um regime representacional alicerçado na estetização da comida e valorização da performance dos chefs, o trabalho discute a hipótese de que as imagens publicadas na página posicionam-se responsivamente em relação ao estatuto da comida na cultura contemporânea, como pressupõe o caráter dialógico do discurso. Finalmente, destacamos duas modalidades principais por meio das quais tais diálogos se estabelecem: o rebaixamento de visibilidades da cozinha como gastronomia e a afirmação de representações da cozinha como culinária.

Rethinking Digital Borders to Address Jurisdiction and Governance in the Global Digital Economy
Authors: AllahRakha Naeem
Published: January 2024

Digitalization is transforming economic activities, necessitating updated legal and policy frameworks for appropriate jurisdiction and governance. The borderless nature of digital trade introduces complexities around applicable laws, taxes, responsibilities, and liabilities. This paper reviews current debates on regulating digital spaces and reimagining digital borders to support equitable governance. Doctrinal and comparative analyses examine jurisdictional complexities. Grounded Theory assess regulatory initiatives. Ambiguous jurisdiction enables large platforms to circumvent laws. Prescriptive control risks stifling innovation. Blending scope-based rules with effects-based standards can balance control and openness. Principles-based extraterritorial applications of law aligned to global accords, demarcating platforms’ responsibilities based on risk levels and impacts are suggested. It calls for cooperation advancing rights and fairness.
Jurisdiction over Transnational Quantum Networks
Authors: Abdikhakimov Islombek
Published: January 2024

The international quantum communication networks develop; governance and legal jurisdiction remain unclear due to jurisdictional gaps in existing legal frameworks. Analysis of applicable accords, state practice, court judgments and domestic law related to digital infrastructure reveals minimal current governance explicitly addressing jurisdiction over global quantum systems. Results indicate specialized multilateral treaties are necessary to establish acceptable jurisdiction given quantum computing's novel abilities allowing exponentially scalable computing, cryptographically secured data transfers and precision metrology. Centralized supranational authority and distributed governance models reflect policy trade-offs for advancing global networks. Like historical technologies such as aviation and the Internet requiring years of legal development to mature, progressing quantum networks need focused creation of an internationally harmonized legal framework to balance security, sovereignty and innovation across a landscape holding tremendous transformative potential.
