Authors: Mrs. V. Deepa  , Mrs. N. Vidhya  , Dr. R. Sucharitha
Published: April 2024

Textile industry is one of the largest contributing sectors of India. It is the second largest employer after agriculture, provided direct employment to over 45 million people. Medical textiles are a category of textiles specifically designed for medical purposes, including first aid, clinical, surgical, and hygienic uses. They are engineered to provide various benefits such as biocompatibility, flexibility, strength, and sterility, anti-allergic, anti-bacterial, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective properties. In that an adhesive bandage is also known as sticking plaster, medical plaster, or simply plaster in British English, is a small medical dressing used for injuries not for serious injuries to require a full-size bandage. Finishes plays a major role in the field of medical textiles, in that herbal finishes are one such category. Tridax is a genus of plants in the family Asteraceae. The most well-known species in this genusis Tridax procumbens, commonly known as coat buttons or tridax daisy. It is a perennial herb that is native to tropical and subtropical regions, and it is widely distributed in countries such as India, Nigeria, Brazil, and the United States. Tridax procumbens has been used in various folk medicinal practices. Parts of the plant, such as the leaves and roots, have been used to treat conditions like skin infections, respiratory issues, digestive problems, and even snakebites in some cultures. This paper deals with the research on tridax finish applied on a bandage to analyse the wound healing property.
A Study of Consumer Behavior: Preferences for Vernacular and Modern Architecture in Hot and Dry Indian Regions
Authors: Aastha Deshpande  , Dr. Abhinav Gupta
Published: April 2024

Global warming and energy shortages have become major global problems, with the building industry being a major energy consumer. Vernacular architecture, which has been developed over generations, is more adaptable to changing environments, including building orientation, form, spacing, layout orientation, and climatic features. This approach considers the home's aesthetics, physical characteristics, and social purposes, resulting in unique designs in hot, arid climate locations. Examples include Rajasthan and Gujarat, which use locally produced sandstone and lime, Jaali screens, and courtyard designs. Modern architecture in these areas integrates advanced materials, shading technologies, passive cooling techniques, and sustainable energy systems. This study aims to examine vernacularism's climatic adaptation, focusing on climatic adaptive technology and its potential in house shape, construction method, building components, and materials. The findings have implications for architects, urban planners, and policymakers seeking to create resilient and sustainable built environments that respect cultural identity while embracing innovation and local knowledge. The essay will examine 23 previous studies and the work of architects who have adapted traditional and vernacular architecture to create a new identity in architecture, showcasing the blending of traditional and vernacular architectural knowledge with contemporary technology and materials.

Patient rights 2.0: patient participation with respect

The Belgian Law on Patients’ Rights was modernized to align with the developments towards a more high-quality, patient-oriented healthcare. The 7 patient rights continue to exist, but will be adapted accordingly. This reform is based on 3 pillars: patient rights in the interest of the patient, patient rights in collaboration with the patient and patient rights by the patient. Each of these pillars ensures that patient rights can guarantee the relationship of trust between the healthcare provider and the patient. This article provides an overview of the changes to the Law on Patients’ Rights within the 3 pillars.

The Greek Gods and the Metaverse: Legal Order in the Layered Universe
Authors: LEAUA Crenguţa
Published: April 2024

The article explores how human relations in relationship with „the metaverse” – a novel term used to describe an alternative reality enabled by nascent immersive technologies like virtual reality and augmented reality, in combination with blockchain and artificial intelligence ‑ can be understood conceptually by drawing parallels to systems of thought based on a multi‑layered universe. Greek mythology offers insightful examples of interactions between the different layers of the ancient Greek universe. One can easier understand how to design the rules for the responsibility of humans interacting with each other in different layers of the universe (as physical beings in the natural reality and as avatars the virtual reality of the metaverse), as well as the interaction with their created purely artificial beings (artificial intelligence ‑non playable characters in the metaverse), when looking at the way in which the Greek mythology has designed such situations. The epic interactions between Greek gods in Olympus, men on Earth, and souls in the underworld, illustrate lessons around fundamental concepts questioned by the nascence of the metaverse, such as personal identity, free will, and laws in a multi‑layered universe. Also, one can look at the model of the layered universe, with moral rules incorporated by Gods in the fabric of the humans as part of the reality of Earth, and perhaps learn as to how one could design ethical behavioural rules in the fabric of the metaverse, too. Using the analogy with Greek mythology, the article explores the fundamental dilemmas humans have now, in terms of addressing the issue of responsibility and representation in the newly create metaverse, seen as a new layer of the universe.
Reprezentarea fiscală în scopuri de T.V.A.
Authors: IONAŞCU Laura Elena , DAMASCHIN Robert
Published: April 2024

Îmbrăcată de legiuitor sub forma unei obligaţii legale, reprezentarea fiscală este prefigurată ca o expresie a sincretismului, îmbinând atât caractere ale reprezentării con­venţionale, astfel cum au fost consfinţite de‑a lungul secolelor, cât şi trăsături noi, impuse de specificul sferei de aplicare şi a realităţilor economice actuale. Beneficiile practice ale acestei reglementări, indiscutabile în prezent, sunt contrabalansate de pro­vocările şi limitele sale inerente, însufleţind dezbateri continue cu privire la tratamentul juridic al reprezentantului fiscal, limitele reprezentării şi răspunderea acestuia. În acest context, prezentul articol creionează o imagine de ansamblu asupra faţetelor instituţiei reprezentării fiscale în scopuri de TVA şi a implicaţiilor efectelor acesteia în cadrul sistemului juridic naţional.

Protecţia minorilor privaţi de libertate. Perspectiva naţională şi standardul internaţional
Authors: SIMA Marius
Published: April 2024

Privarea de libertate, în cazul minorului, reprezintă o preocupare constată la nivel naţional şi internaţional, fiind căutate soluţii în vederea îndeplinirii scopului sancţiunile privative de libertate, respectiv: reintegrarea şi prevenirea săvârşirii faptelor penale de către minori. În acest context, la nivel european şi internaţional au fost propuse soluţii prin care statele să dezvolte un sistem eficient şi coerent care să asigure îndeplinirea acestui scop. Fie că au caracter obligatoriu sau de recomandare, aceste instrumente au fost avute în vedere la crearea sistemului actual de executare a măsurilor educative privative de libertate din România. Prezenta lucrare realizează o analiză a legislaţiei interne privind măsu­rile educative privative de libertate, raportat la standardul impus de instrumentele internaţionale relevante, precum şi a mijloacelor pe care organele statale implicate le au în procesul de reintegrare al infractorului minor, cu o aplecare asupra implicării familiei, a reprezentanţilor legali ai minorului şi a reprezentanţilor statului.
Formarea multistratificată a voinţei juridice a persoanei juridice de drept privat. Inaplicabilitatea, în principiu, a sancţiunii nulităţii contractelor încheiate cu nerespectarea regulilor de formare a voinţei juridice
Authors: AXENTE Alin Ioan
Published: April 2024

Voinţa juridică a persoanei juridice de drept privat prezintă aceeaşi structură şi acelaşi mecanism de formare aplicabil şi voinţei juridice a persoanei fizice. Dimensiunea internă a voinţei juridice a persoanei juridice nu are natura unui proces cognitiv, ci este consecinţa unui set de proceduri legale şi statutare care substituie procesul cognitiv. Acestui proces instituţional i se aplică prezumţiile legale de existenţă şi de valabilitate a cauzei, iar aceste prezumţii pot fi răsturnate prin analiza procesului societar. Sancţiunea nulităţii relative pentru lipsa cauzei nu este incidentă nici chiar în cazul absenţei totale a procesului societar de formare a voinţei interne, actul încheiat cu terţii fiind în majoritatea cazurilor opozabil persoanei juridice şi nu este susceptibil să fie atacat nici cu acţiune în nulitate. Fundamentele acestei soluţii sunt recunoaşterea formării multistratificate a voinţei persoanei juridice de drept privat şi adoptarea ideologiei Repräsentationstheorie în sistemul de drept românesc.
Reprezentarea succesorală de la teorie la practică. Scurte observaţii asupra unor soluţii jurisprudenţiale asupra instituţiei reprezentării succesorale
Authors: DUŢĂ Cristina Ramona
Published: April 2024

Pentru stabilirea punctelor cheie care definesc reprezentarea succesorală vom observa că această instituţie transpune în persoana succesibililor două roluri esenţiale, cel de reprezentat şi reprezentant. Reprezentatul, în virtutea legii, fiind în raport cu clasele de moştenitori ascendent, devine liant pentru moştenitorul de un grad mai îndepărtat care va urca în acest sens în locul său, ocupând astfel rolul de reprezentant. În prezenţa reprezentării, legiuitorul a urmărit un echilibru între cei cu drepturi egale care sunt chemaţi la moştenire şi protecţia oferită în eventualitatea apariţiei unor evenimente neaşteptate. Pentru a putea înlătura consecinţele nedrepte care decurg din întinderea a două dintre prin­cipiile devoluţiunii legale, respectiv principiul proximităţii gradului de rudenie şi principiul egalităţii între rudele de acelaşi grad, legiuitorul a identificat calea de mijloc care constituie excepţia de la regulile enunţate în normele legale. Asupra modului în care instanţele de judecată au făcut aplicarea regulilor legale din materia reprezentării succesorale, vom prezenta, în cele ce urmează, unele observaţii critice, menite a evidenţia modul în care, în opinia noastră, trebuie interpretate aceste reguli.
The Effect of Green Taxation on Financial Performance of Selected Oil and Gas Firms in Nigeria.
Authors: JOLAIYA Olatubosun Felix
Published: April 2024

This study investigated the effect of green taxation on financial performance of selected oil and gas firms in Nigeria for the period 2017-2022. The specific objectives were to investigate the effect of carbon emission taxes; to find out the effect of petroleum profit tax; and to investigate the effect of industrial pollution tax on financial performance of selected oil and gas firms in Nigeria for the period 2017-2022. The model included the total assets of the oil and gas firms as dependent variable. The study adopted ex post facto research and employed times series data sourced from the annual financial records of the oil and gas firms, and the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). Evidence of longrun relationship was found among the model variables through the Johansen test, and a fast speed of adjustment at 32.01% annually. The major findings of the study are: carbon emission taxes had significant negative effect on financial performance of oil and gas firms in Nigeria; petroleum profit tax has significant negative effect on financial performance of oil and gas firms in Nigeria; and industrial pollution tax has significant negative effect on financial performance of oil and gas firms in Nigeria. Based on the findings, the study concluded that green taxation had significant negative effect on the financial performance of oil and gas firms in Nigeria. The study recommended that: the policymakers should design a strategy toward reviewing the carbon emission taxes due to evidence of negative shock on the oil and gas firms; the petroleum profit tax should also be reviewed down in order to mitigate risks arising from their operation which affect their performance; the government should further increase the industrial pollution tax rate, this will deter industries from indiscriminate pollution of the environment, restore investor confident and stabilize stock market in Nigeria.

ADMINISTRAÇÃO PÚBLICA: UMA BREVE ANÁLISE SOBRE AS NECESSIDADES SOCIAIS
Authors: Lima Ferreira Filho Gilmar
Published: April 2024

O que será abordado neste estudo são os pontos de vista referentes à Administração Pública e das necessidades sociais. Do prospecto objetivo, a Administração Pública é o conjunto de atividades destinadas a satisfazer o interesse público, do ponto de vista subjetivo, é a estruturação orgânica de entidades cuja função é administrar. A Administração Pública só é concebida dentro de um Estado, portanto, essa administração tem alguns objetivos essenciais a serem realizados, como defesa externa, ordem pública interna, organização e obtenção de meios econômicos. Mas, juntamente com estes objetivos, a Administração Pública deve tentar realizar tudo o que torne possível a manutenção e até mesmo a melhoria da convivência social. Portanto, a Administração Pública, empurrada por essa ânsia de equilibrar os fatores de convivência, aumenta sua intervenção na vida comunitária, corrigindo as desigualdades que surgem no jogo livre dos interesses individualistas. Em qualquer caso, a realização de objetivos de interesse geral delineia a ideia básica da função administrativa que, essencialmente, se projeta nas atividades de polícia, serviço público e promoção.
WELCOME TO THE BAZAAR! THE KAZAKHSTAN STUDENT EXHIBITION AT PQ 2023
Authors: Howes Emma , Parker Cameron , Phelps Morgan
Published: April 2024

This review explores the work of the Kazakhstan Student Exhibit at the Prague Quadrennial in June 2023. In doing so, we contextualize the exhibit within the international festival, describing its concepts and accompanying performances, including Cooper’s Trading Post, «Kurt,» the «Day of Tea,» and the Nauryz Celebration. The notes presented here are based on first-hand observations as well as individual interviews with the design and production team members present at PQ. To accompany this work, we also reflect on the cross-cultural collaborations behind the exhibition, which are the culmination of a five-year relationship between a university in Almaty, Kazakhstan, and Conway, SC, in the United States. Thus, the interviews conducted during the second half of the 10-day festival provide not only insight into design and performance choices, but also the processes behind a student-ledcollaboration between two cohorts from Theatre and Design programs separated across time and space. In this way, while we locate the exhibit as a display of scenographic art and performance from the Central Asian nation, we also provide suggestions for international collaboration in designing a display for theatre festivals that may provide a framework for others working on similar projects in the future.

Published: April 2024

Human identification is an important arena of forensic investigation, it includes sex determination which becomes extremely difficult in fragmented skeletal remains. Skull dimensions are measured for the purpose of sexual dimorphism which vary in different populations. In this study, we attempted to analyse the measurements from adult human skulls and employ discriminant function to predict sex accurately. A manual vernier calliper was used to measure the antero-posterior (AP) diameter and transverse diameter of foramen magnum of 88 skulls (49 males, 39 females) from the collection housed at the department of Anatomy, RG KAR medical college and Calcutta medical college. The Wilk's lambda for the model is 0.795. The discriminant function equation is, Df= 3.342× (APdiameter of foramen magnum) +0.725× (Transverse diameter of foramen magnum) -13.641(constant). The cut-off point is 0.505. So above this value 0.505, the cases are male and below it, the cases are female. On comparing the measurements, we found that antero-posterior dimensions and transverse dimensions of foramen magnum were greater in males than females. Collectively, all the results indicate that dimensions of foramen magnum can be used as a moderate indicator for sex determination in regional populations.

Authors: Sahu M R , Padhi K S
Published: April 2024

The ability to perform medicolegal autopsy does not necessarily give a registered medical practitioner the expertise over it which is a major setback in solving medicolegal cases. Manner of death is very much important to decide as like cause of death and time since death for the proper disposal of justice to the dead. Traumatic asphyxia is a type of mechanical asphyxia, where respiration is prevented by external pressure on the body, at the same time inhibiting respiratory movements and compromising venous return from the head. Here we present a case of traumatic asphyxia where a general surgeon who conducted the autopsy could not be convinced by the police investigation that tractor accident was the cause for which the deceased succumb to death without any external & internal injuries and meanwhile got confused with the findings in the body suspecting it to strangulation death which was finally resolved by the opinion of the subject expert.

Authors: Saini T , Arora V
Published: April 2024

Poisoning with Herbicides, Pesticides and Rodenticides etc. is very common nowadays especially in the northern parts of India due to their easy availability from market. Such compounds are available in the houses of farmers, persons dealing in agriculture sectors. Most of the time the cases of poisoning which are brought to our hospitals or are brought for autopsy in the mortuaries are of Organo phosphates, Organo chloro compounds or Aluminum Phosphide poisoning. In this case, we will discuss about the poisoning with a rarely documented compound 2, 4 Di Ethyl Ester which is a compound of Phenoxy acetic group. 2,4 Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) is a selective herbicide used to kill broad leafed plants. The signs and symptoms of this compound mimics with anti-cholinesterase compounds which might be the reason for under reporting of this compound as a potential cause of poisoning. The role of preserving blood sample during post-mortem to look for myoglobin and creatine phsphokinase levels may be of help in giving opinion regarding cause of death in case of negative FSL's reports.

Published: April 2024

The estimation of a deceased stature, which is a part of the identification process, is crucial in cases where mutilated or dismembered bodies presented for postmortem examination. Nevertheless, stature differs by race and is determined by genetics, environment, climatic conditions, and geographic location. Therefore, the study was intended to estimate stature from upper limb parameters in the north-west Indian population, to see if there is a significant correlation between stature and various upper limb parameters, and to create regression equations for estimating stature from various upper limb parameters. Inclusion in the study group was restricted to subjects who were willing to participate and who provided written informed consent. Students with evident physical deformities were not included in the study. Using Pearson's correlation test, correlations between various parameters of the upper limb and height were determined. Gender specific linear regression equations for estimating stature were developed by using upper limb measurements. Stepwise regression analysis was used to generate equations for multiple regressions based on a variety of parameter combinations. Using a paired T-test, there was no statistically significant difference observed between known and estimated stature for both the right and left sides in a mixed-gender and in both males and females (p>0.05). From the parameters, the upper limb length and hand length had shown strong positive correlations with stature in the north-west Indian population.

The brain tumor is one of the most dangerous, common and aggressive diseases which leads to a very short life expectancy at the highest grade. Thus, to prevent life from such disease, early recognition, and fast treatment is an essential step. In this approach, MRI images are used to analyze brain abnormalities. The manual investigation of brain tumor classification is a time-consuming task and there might have possibilities of human errors. Hence accurate analysis in a tiny span of time is an essential requirement. In this approach, the automatic brain tumor classification algorithm using a highly accurate Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithm is presented. Initially, the brain part is segmented by thresholding approach followed by a morphological operation. The brain MRI is classified using CNN, Inceptionv3, and Xceptionv3 algorithms. The performance of the system is evaluated using precision, recall, F1 score and accuracy parameter

The challenges of physical measurement for prosthetic development and highlight how our integrated tool offers a remote solution to address these challenges, promoting accessibility, convenience, and active participation in the prosthetic design process. Our Measurement Module for Prosthetic Hand Dimensions is a comparison of Image Processing and Distance Measurement Methods The creation of a module to precisely measure finger dimensions for the creation of prosthetic hands is the main goal of this research project. The module provides distance measurement and image-based input as two different ways to get dimensions. Users place their hands at predetermined distances from a screen in the distance measurement option, while users submit photographs of their hands with reference objects for scale in the image based input option. In order To provide a proper fit and functionality, the collected dimensions are an essential component of the prosthetic hand construction process. The study contrasts the efficiency of distance measurement methods employing cameras or other cameras with image processing techniques like edge recognition and contour analysis. Accuracy, usability, and efficiency are among the factors that are assessed to identify the best method for acquiring dimensions. OpenCV for image processing, TensorFlow for machine learning-based analysis, Tkinter for UI design, Mediapipe for landmark identification and hand tracking, and NumPy for numerical operations are just a few of the open-source libraries that are used in this module. The module's possible influence on improving the creation and customization of prosthetic hands is also covered. By offering insights into effective and precise dimension measurement methodologies for customized prosthetic hand design, the study's findings advance the area of prosthetics

Assuring high-quality patient care and making the best use of the resources at hand requires the efficient allocation of healthcare resources. This study uses a thorough examination of patient admission data, treatment plans, and staff availability to tackle the complex problem of optimizing healthcare resource allocation. We want to reduce wait times, optimize resource use, and eventually improve patient outcomes in healthcare facilities by integrating these essential elements.
Our strategy makes use of cutting-edge data analytics tools, such as optimization algorithms and predictive modelling, to find underlying patterns and trends in patient demand, treatment regimens, and staffing needs. Our goal is to create prediction models that anticipate patient admissions, treatment requirements, and staffing levels by analysing historical data and real-time inputs. This will allow for proactive resource allocation techniques.
The study's conclusions have important ramifications for healthcare administration since they provide practical advice on how to improve patient care delivery, cut wait times, and make the most use of the resources at hand. Healthcare institutions can enhance resource allocation procedures to meet the changing demands of patient care while guaranteeing the optimal use of resources by integrating technology, data-driven decision-making, and evidence-based practices.
In summary, this study lays the groundwork for future investigations and innovations in hospital administration and operations while also supporting current initiatives to enhance healthcare resource allocation procedures. Healthcare organizations can improve patient outcomes and achieve operational excellence while providing high-quality, patient-centred care by adopting data-driven approaches and utilizing technology.
