Authors: Rodríguez Cuellar Yaima , Rodríguez Espinosa Jorge Ricardo
Published: September 2024

Research highlights the growing importance of occupational health, noting that work-related illnesses are becoming increasingly prevalent as global populations age and work longer.The study focuses on occupational musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) among dental professionals, particularly those who graduated from the Regional Autonomous University of the Andes (UNIANDES). Its aim is to assess the prevalence and contributing factors to MSDs, promoting ergonomic practices to mitigate these issues.The study employed a quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional approach, using the Nordic Questionnaire to collect data. Participants were surveyed on demographic and occupational variables, and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. It revealed that female dentists and those between 20 and 30 years old are particularly susceptible to these disorders.Many respondents indicated that their symptoms led to changes in their work habits or even job changes. The duration and impact of these symptoms varied, with some reporting chronic problems that affect their ability to work.The research underscores the need to improve ergonomic training and practices in dental education and professional settings. It suggests adopting preventive measures, such as ergonomic workstations, regular breaks, and physical exercises, to reduce the incidence of these conditions

Hypertonic saline for ischemic stroke: a review
Authors: Bajwa Rameen Ata , Jessani Angelina , Raja Hanan Farzand , Aziz Bisma
Published: September 2024

Background and Objective:
Elevated intracranial pressure (ICP) is a critical complication of ischemic stroke. This review article summarizes existing literature pertaining to the role of hypertonic saline (HTS) in lowering ICP in ischemic stroke patients.
Methods:
Studies were selected using a comprehensive search of several research databases. Studies conducted in adult (aged 18 and older) human patients receiving HTS osmotherapy for elevated ICP were included, encompassing a wide range of neurological conditions and various administration methods, durations, and concentrations of HTS.
Results:
 We found HTS to reduce ICP in ischemic stroke patients, on par effectively, and in some studies, superior to more conventional ICP-lowering methods such as mannitol. Patients with comorbid conditions such as cerebrovascular and renal diseases also tolerated HTS well. The risk of developing hypernatremia was significantly higher in patients receiving HTS osmotherapy. Neurological complications, such as central pontine myelinosis, were not observed in any of the participants; however, no clear benefit regarding the long-term neurologic outcome of these patients has been reported thus far.
Conclusion:
While encouraging, existing literature on the use of HTS as a treatment for elevated ICP still needs to be more conclusive and necessitates further research. Questions regarding duration, optimal concentration of intervention, and method of administration need to be addressed by future randomized controlled trials.
Functional Movement Disorders: Understanding, approach and diagnosis
Authors: Ayub Hudaibiya , Ayub Talbiya , Rasheed Azhar
Published: September 2024

This commentary offers a comprehensive examination of Functional Movement Disorders (FMD) and explores recent advancements in our understanding and treatment of these intricate syndromes. FMDs challenge clinicians due to their variable nature and diverse clinical presentations, often intertwined with psychological factors. Impairments in motor intention and agency must be considered when providing care. Recognizing that non-motor symptoms can have a major impact on a patient's quality of life is equally important. Recognizing FMDs as multi-faceted conditions requiring multidisciplinary care allows consideration of cognitive, social, and demographic aspects.
Effects of maternal subclinical hypothyroidism on neurodevelopment of offspring- an animal-based study
Authors: Sabah Farhat  , Syeda Sadia Fatima  , Mehirunisa  , Fazal Arain
Published: September 2024

Background and Objective:
Maternal subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) during pregnancy is associated with adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes, including cognitive and neuropsychiatric effects. This study aimed to assess the impact of maternal SCH on young rats, examining behavioral and gross brain structure changes, and evaluating reversibility after levothyroxine treatment.
Methods:
 This experimental animal study was conducted at the Aga Khan University for a duration of 10 months. The study was approved by the Ethical committee for Animal Care and Use. Fourteen female Sprague Dawley rats were grouped into Treated (induced with SCH, treated with levothyroxine), Untreated (induced with SCH, no treatment), and Control (administered saline). Pups' body weight was monitored, and histological procedures were conducted at postnatal days 7, 14, and 21. Behavioral tests (elevated plus maze, forced swim, and tail suspension) assessed anxiety and depression. The data was analysed using SPSS (version 25.0). The mean, median, and standard deviation were calculated for each quantitative parameter. A one-way ANOVA was performed to identify any variation in mean thyroid levels between groups, and an independent sample t-test was utilized to confirm mean differences in anxiety levels.
Results: On postnatal day 7, untreated pups showed lower body weight compared to treated and control groups. This trend continued on days 14 and 21. By day 21, an elevated plus maze (EPM) test indicated anxiety-like behaviour in untreated pups, while they also exhibited more signs of depression in tests like the forced swim test (FST) and tail suspension test (TST). Brain structure, including the prefrontal cortex, remained intact in offspring affected by maternal thyroid dysfunction, with no significant changes observed in brain morphology across the groups.
Conclusion:
 Despite unchanged brain structure, untreated rat pups exhibited significant behavioral differences indicative of depression. This underscores the importance of understanding the behavioral impacts of maternal SCH even in the absence of gross anatomical alterations.

Authors: Ghous Sana , Anjlee Shankar  , Abdul Qadir Baloch  , Dipanty Khastoori  , Tahira Maqsood  , Alam Ibrahim Siddiqui
Published: September 2024

Background and Objective:
Neuropathies pose significant challenges in diagnosis and management due to their heterogeneous etiologies, varied clinical presentations, and differential prevalence across age groups. The objective of this study was to analyze the distribution of neuropathies among patients in various age brackets, highlighting prevalent neuropathic types and their clinical implications.
 
Methods:
From September 18, 2018 to September 17, 2019, 405 patients from Neurology Ward of Chandka Medical College Hospital in Larkana were included in this retrospective cross-sectional comprehensive analysis. Nerve conduction studies (NCS) of these patients were conducted in the electrophysiology department. The study cohort was stratified into age groups, allowing us to compare the frequency and NCS findings of various neuropathies. Statistical analysis using SPSS 23 was performed to ascertain the prevalence and distribution of specific neuropathies across different age brackets.
Results:
In the younger age group below 20 years, a prominent prevalence of neuropathies linked to hereditary factors was notable. Contrastingly, within the 20-40 age stratum, distinctive distribution patterns were observed, showcasing prevalent occurrences of Acute Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (AIDP) and those induced by trauma. Similarly, in the 40-60 and above 60 age cohorts, unique prevalence profiles emerged, spotlighting Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) and neuropathies associated with diabetes and malignancies as most common.
Conclusion:
The findings of this study shed light on the age-related distribution of neuropathies and the corresponding NCS profiles. Such insights can aid in improving the diagnosis and management of neuropathies based on age, ensuring more tailored and effective healthcare strategies.

Authors: Baehaqi Anan , Sukandar Ahmad , Tata Sumarta , Gunawan Marina Trie Ramadhany , Hani Aan
Published: September 2024

This research aims to explore the integration of Islamic values into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning in secondary schools. In the era of globalization, STEM education is becoming increasingly important to prepare students for future challenges. However, education that only focuses on technical aspects without paying attention to spiritual and moral values can result in disorientation in students' lives. Therefore, this study proposes an approach that combines scientific aspects with Islamic values to create holistic learning. The research method used is qualitative with a literature study approach. Data was collected through observation and analysis of curriculum documents. The results of the study show that the integration of Islamic values in STEM learning can improve students' understanding of the relationship between science and religious teachings, as well as motivate them to apply the knowledge learned in daily life in accordance with Islamic principles. Consistent implementation and support from all schools are needed to ensure the sustainability of this program.

Published: September 2024

This study aims to explore the application of a multicultural approach in Islamic education as an effort to increase tolerance among students. In the midst of cultural, ethnic, and religious diversity in Indonesia, Islamic education is faced with the challenge of not only forming a religiously devout person, but also respecting differences and living in harmony in a pluralistic society. This study uses a qualitative method with a literature study approach. Data were collected through observation and analysis of documents, then analyzed qualitatively to identify patterns of application of multicultural values in the curriculum, teaching, and social interaction in schools. The results of the study show that a multicultural approach in Islamic education can strengthen the attitude of tolerance among students. The implementation of values such as respect for diversity, empathy, and cross-cultural dialogue in the teaching and learning process has been proven to be able to reduce prejudice and increase cooperation between groups. However, the success of this approach is highly dependent on teacher commitment and support from educational institutions and inclusive education policies. Therefore, it is recommended that Islamic educational institutions integrate a more systematic multicultural approach in their curriculum to create a more tolerant and harmonious educational environment.

Mentions and perception of zadruga – property in Austrian literature of the 20th century
Authors: Brajović Danilo
Published: September 2024

Although never the most relevant form of property in Austrian legal and historic literature, the zadruga was present in many works of the 19th century, due to the existence of the property form in the Austrian Military Frontier and the provinces inhabited by the South Slavs. With the dissolution of the Empire in 1918 the topic became less interesting to authors, due to its now foreign nature. Nevertheless, mentions and even dedicated chapters on zadruga – property can be found throughout the 20th century, and the literature holds some value for contemporary research on the topic. This paper will focus on creating a list of relevant Austrian literature mentioning or focusing on the zadruga property form, especially in the Austrian Military Frontier. It will contain works mentioning or focusing on zadruga – property and analyse the context and scope of these mentions.

On the effectiveness of the protection of common things in the Roman law: the case of the sea
Authors: Marini Roberta
Published: September 2024

In the Roman law, the way the sea is regulated appears to be strictly connected to the elaboration, by the jurists, of the category of the res communes omnium. However, also before this category had been fully elaborated (in particular due to the contribution of Marcianus), Roman jurisprudence addressed the ‘public nature’ of the sea from various perspectives and it provoked interesting consequences in the thoughts of the jurists. For the present-day jurists, on the one hand, the category of the res communes omnium provides meaningful elements to be considered; on the other hand, it provides awareness of the relevance that the utilitas communis of certain things can be enjoyed by an individual as long as s/he is a member of the community
Roman law and the Japanese Civil Code: the collective and common property
Authors: de las Casas León Ma Etelvina
Published: September 2024

Legal systems at European or Latin American level are understood thanks to Roman law, their indisputable source. However, other civil codes also contain Roman law influence, such as the Japanese, Chinese, Turkish, and even Filipino codes. The Meiji modernization project is one of the most studied points not only by the Japanese themselves, but also by foreign academics. Specifically, this phenomenon involved importing Western legal institutions into what we know as “the Roman-Germanic tradition”. Throughout this paper I will try to briefly expose the study of Roman law in Japanese universities, taught in Tokyo Kaisei-Gakko since 1874 by an English professor, which continues to this day as a subject different from modern civil law but without forgetting the relationship between both rights. In this regard, I will make a special reference to the collective and common property in the Japanese Civil Code so that we can analyze its differences in relation to other codes, such as Spanish, as well the influence that Roman law may have in this area.
Collective aspects in Roman law models of ‘private ownership’
Authors: Porcelli Stefano
Published: September 2024

Nowadays it is generally believed that people have rights on things, which makes things merely at the disposal of people’s will. Under the influence of this mentality, notwithstanding that some scholars have hinted at the fact that this approach is heavily influenced by a certain ideological setting that has taken shape in the last centuries, it is still possible to find scholars who maintain that the relationships between persons and things, also in Roman law, were regulated in such an ‘individual will centered’ approach as the one we use today. However, it is not difficult to find elements that disclose how the Roman mentality - and the related regulations - have considered this relationship from a different perspective. In fact, as many evidences suggest, a very relevant role in the relationship between persons and things was played by the family, so that - although to a different extent throughout the time - even what could seem to be somehow similar to the nowadays ‘private ownership’, should nonetheless be considered within the scheme of a family based community that may be framed as a kind of a ‘collectivisme consanguin’.
Bona materna and dominium possessionis: dissociation between formal property and actual ownership rights in Constantine’s legislation
Authors: Malafronte Emanuela
Published: September 2024

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the unique regulations concerning maternal property (bona materna), introduced by Emperor Constantine in the early fourth century. This can be seen as one of the most significant reforms affecting family relationships. For the first time, the absolute authority of the pater familias was weakened to protect the economic interests of descendants alieni iuris. The first section will examine the specific constitutions that established these regulations (CTh. 8, 18, 1-3). The essence of the reform was to enhance the mother’s role in the mortis causa transfer of her property. It allowed direct inheritance between her and her liberi in potestate, while excluding the husband from the succession process. The second section will focus on the concept of property within Constantine’s legislation. It aims to discern the actual powers retained by the pater familias and the corresponding strengthened position of filii in potestate. Despite the pater familias being considered as a temporary dominus for the period necessary to achieve sui iuris status, he did not exercise a true ownership over maternal assets. For example, he was prohibited from executing sales or donations that would have deplete the family estate. Particularly interesting is the expression “dominium possessionis”, used in CTh. 8, 18, 2, which may help describe the distinction between the formal status of dominus and the actual owner of maternal property.
Collective property through the lens of the case-law of the European court of human rights
Authors: Ćorić Vesna , Knežević Bojović Ana , Fernandez Jankov Fernanda
Published: September 2024

This paper aims to explore to what extent “property”, as an ECtHR autonomous concept, includes the collective dimensions of property rights, as well as to systematize different collective dimensions of the right to property as addressed in the ECtHR case law. The underlying hypothesis of the paper, which was confirmed by research, is that the ECtHR failed to sufficiently elaborate on the collective dimensions of the right to property due to the causes that are not linked to cultural relativist arguments but to the ECtHR general approach of giving deference in examining domestic law pertaining to all the aspects of the right of property under Article 1 of Protocol No. 1 to the ECHR. Firstly, the key standards for protecting the right to property as developed through the ECtHR caselaw will be briefly presented. After that, selected ECtHR case-law on the collective dimension of the propriety rights of indigenous peoples and the caselaw on the restitution afforded in cases of denationalization will be examined to assess whether they diverge from the general protection of the right to property afforded by the ECtHR. The normative-legal method to analyze the case law of the ECtHR in terms of the protection it afforded to collective dimensions of the property right will be predominantly utilized.

Vocational High School is a form of upper secondary education which aims to produce workers who are ready to work in the industrial sector. This can be seen from the fact that Vocational High School graduates are prepared with skills and experience through implementing Field Work Practices (PKL) during class XI or XII. It is hoped that these skills and experiences will become capital for graduates when entering the world of work after graduating. However, it was found that many vocational school graduates face difficulties in determining their career direction and goals. Therefore, community service activities are carried out to provide guidance to class XI and class XII students at SMKN 1 Pancur Batu so that they are ready to continue their careers after graduating. One of the efforts made is to provide an understanding of the importance of continuing education to tertiary level. The results of this service activity show that participants have begun to realize how important higher education is in supporting their career preparation

This study investigates the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) innovation on environmental sustainability in the Nordic region. Additionally, it tests the Load Capacity Curve (LCC) hypothesis by incorporating factors such as financial accessibility, environmental tax, and urbanization, using data spanning from 1990 to 2020. The methodology includes the Cross-Sectional Dependence test and the slope homogeneity test, revealing issues of heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence. Furthermore, first and second-generation panel unit root assessments indicate that the variables are free from unit root problems. Panel Cointegration tests confirm that the variables are cointegrated in the long run. To analyze both short-run and long-run relationships, the study employs the Panel Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model. The results from the Panel ARDL model support the LCC hypothesis in the Nordic region, showing a U-shaped relationship between income and load capacity factor. Moreover, AI innovation and environmental tax significantly and positively contribute to environmental sustainability in both the short and long run. In contrast, higher financial accessibility and urbanization degrade environmental sustainability over these timeframes. To validate the robustness of the Panel ARDL estimations, the study also uses Fully Modified OLS, Dynamic OLS, and Fixed Effects OLS approaches, all of which corroborate the ARDL findings. The study employs the D-H causality test to explore causal relationships among the variables. The test results reveal a unidirectional causal relationship between income and AI innovation to the load capacity factor and a bidirectional causal relationship between financial accessibility and the load capacity factor, as well as between urbanization and the load capacity factor. However, no causal relationship is found between environmental tax and the load capacity factor.

Published: September 2024

O trabalho objetiva analisar a política existente em Alegrete entre 1964 e 1974 durante a ditadura militar, levando em consideração aspectos dos fatos ocorridos na cidade durante estes dez anos, dando ênfase, no entanto, ao Legislativo Municipal. Nesta relação, há a concepção de períodos distintos, de maior ou menor grau de interferência militar na Câmara, embates políticos e discordância de ideias; e ainda, há o entendimento de que Alegrete, embora não representasse um grande perigo à Segurança Nacional do Estado, teve influído em seu cotidiano aspectos visíveis da política da ditadura militar, aspectos que nos propomos a estudar. Para isso, além de uma bibliografia sobre o período, buscamos o auxílio de informações oriundas das atas da Câmara Municipal de Alegrete e de entrevistas com algumas pessoas que vivenciaram o período em que o tema aborda.
