A Case Report On Focal Hemangioma Of Liver
Authors: Dighikar Vrushali
Published: July 2023

Background : Hemangiomas are benign vascular tumors produced by a proliferation of endothelium-lined blood vessels. Hepatic hemangiomas can be detected with diagnostic imaging such as sonography, computed tomography (CT), and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (CE-MRI), which are often recognized as incidental findings. A case of a big hepatic tumor that was first discovered on CT and then investigated with sonography is presented. Sonographic examination revealed greatly expanded size, heterogeneous echotexture, and lobular contour, all of which were suggestive for potential cancer. The growth was eventually diagnosed as a cavernous hepatic hemangioma after a biopsy. The hepatic hemangioma’s aberrant sonographic appearance, in this case, should be taken into account so that sonographers and the interpreting clinician are aware of the varied presentations of this condition. Case presentation: A 52-year-old Caucasian male was coming in A.V.B.R. hospital with chief complaint of pain in abdomen in the past 20 days. Patient was apparently alright 20 days back when he blunts trauma to abdomen due to accidental hit with edge of tea table. When he went to private hospital in wardha where he received primary treatment. Since last 5-6 days his pain is increasing with no associated and relieving factors. It’s not radiating pain. He had history of nausea, is present for 20 days and no any history of fever, cough, breathlessness, bony pain, no any bowel and bladder, no history of DM, H.T.N, or epilepsy. After his admission diagnostic evaluation was done, and in the findings of Gallbladder distended.

La caficultura es una actividad importante en Ecuador ya que se practica en todas las regiones del país, bajo diferentes pisos altitudinales, tanto en monocultivos como en sistemas agroforestales. La principal característica del café ecuatoriano es sus exquisitos aroma y sabor, reconocidos a nivel internacional. Al ser una bebida de alto consumo, su comercialización constituye una fuente de ingresos importante para todos los actores que intervienen en los diferentes eslabones de su cadena de producción. El objetivo de la presente revisión bibliográfica fue la recopilación de diferentes experiencias alrededor del mundo relacionadas con la aplicación de microorganismos benéficos en el cultivo del cafeto. Entre los microorganismos promotores del crecimiento vegetal (MPCV) podemos mencionar a los hongos micorrízicos arbusculares, el género Trichoderma spp. y rizobacterias promotoras del crecimiento vegetal. La literatura recopilada ha sido obtenida en el marco de un diseño experimental y análisis estadísticos rigurosos que validaron su publicación en artículos científicos o trabajos de tesis. Se analizó la información relevante publicada entre los años 2011 al 2022. Los resultados de las diferentes investigaciones sugieren un efecto positivo importante de la adición de MCPV en el desarrollo de las plantas a nivel de vivero y en cafetales asociados a sistemas agrícolas, agroecológicos y agroforestales. Se puede concluir que el uso de microorganismos en la caficultura constituye una alternativa sustentable para disminuir el uso de fertilizantes convencionales y pesticidas, conservando la fertilidad físico-química y promoviendo la diversidad microbiana del suelo.

Published: July 2023

A study was undertaken to investigate the effect of different dates of transplanting and mulching materials on plant growth, yield and economics of summer squash (Cucurbita pepo L.) under rainfed condition in Uttarakhand hills during spring summer season of 2011 and 2012. Summer squash was mulched with black polyethylene, pine needle, FYM and dried leaves along with and without mulched (control) and transplanted at three different dates, i.e. 10 March, 25 March and 9 April in Factorial RBD replicated thrice. During the study, observations on plant height, plant spread, leaf area, days to 50 % flowering, number of harvesting, number of fruits/plant, total yield etc. were recorded. In addition, to assess the profitability of treatments cost of cultivation, net profit and benefit cost ratio were also worked out. Among three transplanting dates, 10 March was found to be best with respect to plant growth characters, total yield (61.35 tonnes/ha), net return (Rupees 452897/ha) and benefit cost ratio (3.82). Similarly, out of four mulches and control, black polyethylene mulch was observed the best with respect to plant growth characters, total yield (68.50 t/ha), net return (Rupees 449732/ha) and benefit cost ratio (3.58). So far interaction between transplanting dates and mulching materials used, out of 15 treatment combinations, D1M1 (transplanting on 10 March under black polyethylene) had recorded maximum yield of 76.03 tonnes/ha along with highest net profit of Rupees 582242/ha and benefit cost ratio of 4.27. Based on overall performance, it could be concluded that under the prevalent climatic condition of Uttarakhand hills, treatment combination D1M1 (transplanting on 10 March under black polyethylene) is the best and most economical treatment, hence, recommended for commercial cultivation at farmers fields, provided all other scientific management practices are followed.

EUTHANASIA: THE RIGHT TO DIE BETWEEN GOD’S WILL AND THE WILL OF A MAN
Authors: Čović Ana V.
Published: July 2023

In recent decades, euthanasia has been an extremely current but also controversial issue from a legal, moral, ethical, and religious point of view. Supporters of its legalization emphasize the human right to a dignified death and the need to act humanely and respect the person's desire to choose death over life in suffering and pain. On the other hand, the opponents of euthanasia point out that the right to life, guaranteed and protected by law, basically opposes the legalization of the right to death, which as such does not exist in international legal documents. Also, the more religious opponents point out that God's will is birth, as well as dying, and that any interference in that process is inadmissible.

The paper will give a brief overview of the European countries which laws allow some form of euthanasia, and a more detailed overview of the legislation in Belgium, as a country with the most relaxed approach to voluntary euthanasia today, where this practice is extended from physical to mental illness and includes children of all ages and felons. We will give a special overview of the case of Mortier v. Belgium. It is necessary to answer the question whether euthanasia is justified and valid in some cases from the aspect of humanity and compassion, and how these cases should be regulated, especially bearing in mind the proposal to decriminalize euthanasia by the new Civil Code of Serbia, which is currently being drafted.

“For the Relief of the Body and the Reconstruction of the Mind”: Adrienne Rich’s Metamorphoses
Authors: Mąkowska Joanna
Published: July 2023

By looking at Adrienne Rich’s poetic and political transitions, this article attempts to demonstrate how her politics of location galvanized her into writing a “whole new poetry.” The source of its newness lies, however, not so much in avantgardist formal experimentation, but rather in its rootedness in the complexities of lived corporeal experience. It is the body that emerges in Rich’s later writing as a primary form of the subject’s locatedness – the “geography closest in.” Importantly, she views the body as a site of potentiality rather than a passive surface of sociopolitical inscriptions, and refers to corporeal materiality without falling into the trap of naive essentialism. As I argue, such conceptualization of the body makes Rich’s work particularly interesting from the neo-materialist perspective.
BodyGuard by Sirona: time to explore new frontiers?
Authors: Gupta Dr Shruti , Sondhi Neena
Published: July 2023

Learning outcomes

The case study offers a unique teaching tool to the instructor and learners. Very few cases offer a product and segmentation dilemma in a single problem. The discussion would enable learners to:

– conduct a situational analysis by using frameworks such as the 5C and SWOT;

– understand different kinds of segmentation options that a firm can consider;

– understand the nuances of making a viable and actionable new product launch decision;

– analyze the pros and cons of a segmentation decision and comprehend how the decision will impact the firm’s marketing and/or business strategy.

Case overview/synopsis

Sirona Hygiene Private Limited was a young startup founded in 2015 by Deep Bajaj. The firm had three brands under its umbrella, namely, female hygiene (Peebuddy), menstrual hygiene (Sirona) and protection and wellness (BodyGuard). Though the firm was recognized for feminine hygiene products, the pandemic boosted the sale of BodyGuard face masks and hand sanitizers.

The sanitizer market was growing, and protection and sanitization products were now part of every consumer’s daily ritual. As BodyGuard now had some brand recognition, Sirona could consider expanding the sanitizer line with a natural new product formulation. However, the expansion decision could have short- and long-term impacts on BodyGuard and Sirona Hygiene. The decision could be two-pronged, involving a product line expansion and revisiting the BodyGuard segmentation strategy. Currently, the BodyGuard range was focused on business-to-consumer (B2C) users, but volumes were higher in business-to-business (B2B). Second, BodyGuard was a forced fit brand amongst the Sirona family of feminine products

Thus, as Sirona considered a new product opportunity, assessing the viability of a possible move to the B2B segment may be prudent. However, the BodyGuard range also had mosquito repellents and baby products, which were essentially a B2C option, so was it more practical to stay as a B2C brand? Furthermore, if BodyGuard stayed a B2C brand, should it consider a demographic segmentation, or was a psychographic approach more beneficial in a cluttered commoditized space such as sanitizers? Which approach would build a consumer–brand connection? Or should the brand straddle both segments? Finally, the firm would also need to assess the BodyGuard segmentation strategy from the overarching Sirona business strategy.

Complexity academic level

The case can be used for a foundation course in Marketing and/or an advanced elective on Product Management or Marketing Strategy.

Published: July 2023

A tanulmány célja, hogy betekintést nyújtson a generációk borfogyasztásában megmutatkozó különbségekre. A cikk újszerűségét az adja, hogy az első olyan felmérés Magyarországon, amely a generációkat átfogóan vizsgálja ebből a szempontból, és a Z generációt is magába foglalja. A kutatás 1416 borfogyasztóból álló mintán alapszik. Az eredmények arra utalnak, hogy minél fiatalabb generációba tartozik valaki, annál inkább egyszerű borfogyasztóként tekint magára, ami megmutatkozik abban is, hogy kevésbé fogyaszt otthon és tisztán bort, valamint a legalább heti borfogyasztás is egyre alacsonyabb arányú. Az édes borok preferenciája azonban az átlagosnál magasabb a körükben, míg a hazai borokat minden generáció kedveli. A kutatás eredményei arra utalnak, hogy a Z generáció tagjainak preferenciái kialakulóban vannak, a külső szempontok és ajánlások hangsúlyosabban jelennek meg nálunk.
Simulation Study of Imbalanced Classification on High-Dimensional Gene Expression Data
Authors: Rochayani Masithoh Yessi , Sa'adah Umu , Astuti Ani Budi
Published: July 2023

Purpose: Classification of gene expression helps study disease. However, it faces two obstacles: an imbalanced class and a high dimension. The motivation of this study is to examine the effectiveness of undersampling before feature selection on high-dimensional data with imbalanced classes.Methods: Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso), which can select features, can handle high-dimensional data modeling. Random undersampling (RUS) can be used to deal with imbalanced classes. The Classification and Decision Tree (CART) algorithm is used to construct a classification model because it can produce an interpretable model. Thirty simulated datasets with varying imbalance ratios are used to test the proposed approaches, which are Lasso-CART and RUS-Lasso-CART. The simulated data are generated from parameters of real gene expression data.Results: The simulation study results show that when the minority class accounts for more than 25% of the observation size, the Lasso-CART method is appropriate. Meanwhile, RUS-Lasso-CART is effective when the minority class size is at least 20 observations.Novelty: The novelty of this simulation study is using the RUS-Lasso-CART hybrid method to address the classification problem of high-dimensional gene expression data with imbalanced classes.

Authors: Yousif Bushra Ghali , Abdul-Wahid Sahib Neamah , Shabaa Kadhum Jawad
Published: July 2023

Eight patients (3 male and 5 female) were treated in this study by Endovenous Laser Ablation (EVLA); Mathematical models are proposed to estimate the applied laser power and to assess the recovery period. The estimations of the applied laser power and recovery period in these models will be depended mainly on the diameter of the incompetent vein.  In addition, Excel Program was utilized to find the proposed models.  A 1470 nm diode laser up to 15W continuous power (CW) was used in the treatment of venous ulcers by EVLA procedure. Following up by duplex ultrasound was started in the 1st week after the first session until the vein is completely closed. The present study concluded that the relationship both between the applied laser power and recovery period with diameter is directly linear. The mathematical results obtained from the two mathematical proposals are consistent with the clinical results

CHARACTERISTICS OF MUSICAL LANGUAGE IN THE COMPOSITION CHANTS OF METOHIJA BY SVETISLAV BOŽIĆ
Authors: Zdravić Mihailović Danijela , Milenković Marko
Published: July 2023

The paper elucidates on the musical language of Svetislav Božić, using the example of his concertino for piano Chants of Metohija, in order to point to certain solutions that give a seal of authenticity to Božić's work. The concertino form is typically an oriental variation of a single lyrical breath, at times singable and danceable at other times, but basically one and the same thought without any prominent dramaturgical contrast; it is a single movement with several lyrical variations. The musical language reveals a distinctive predominant modal harmonization of the tertian principle in building harmony of neo-romantic and early impressionist provenance, which emerges as a result of building on tradition with a controlled touch of modernity and originality.
Infaq dan Pengaturan Harta dalam Al-Qur`an (Analisis Tematik QS Al-Baqarah/2: 267
Authors: Abduh Muhammad Nur
Published: July 2023

Secara fitrawi, manusia adalah makhluk sosial yang tidak bisa lepas dari hubungannya dengan individu lain dalam masyarakat. Oleh karena itu, dubutuhkan suatu kersamaan yang tidak hanya sekadar menuntut hubungan take and give  (mengambil dan menerima), melainkan lebih daripada itu, yakni memberi tanpa menunggu imbalan, inisiatif memberikan bantuan sssebelum diminta. Kebersamaan semacam inilah yang akan menumbuhkan kesadaran menyisihkan sebagian harta kekayaan kepada mereka yang membutuhkan, baik dalam bentuk zakat maupun sadaqah dan infaq

Mengingat pentingnya kedudukan harta bagi manusia, maka tidak heran bahwa manusia amat bersungguh-sungguh menggunakan waktunya, tidak kenal lelah, berusaha memperoleh harta benda sebanyak-banyaknya. Namun pada sisi lain, Allah sebagai pemberi nikmat, menuntut untuk mempergunakannya dengan cara yang benar dengan menyisihkan atau membagi harta hasil usaha dan hasil bumi. Si kaya dituntut menyalurkan sebagian hartanya kepada si miskin atau yang hidup di bawah garis kemiskinan. Tindakan tersebut dapat mempersempit kesenjangan sosial antara si kaya dan si miskin; mengantisispasi gejolak sosial; meminimalisir kemiskinan dan pengangguran. Sarana yang efektif untuk memulihkan kenyataan tersebut, salah satunya adalah infaq

Authors: Cvetic Vladimir , Miletic Marko , Lukic Borivoje , Nestorovic Dragoslav , Kostic Ognjen , Sladojevic Milos , Zlatanovic Petar , Jakovljevic Nenad
Published: July 2023

Background and Objectives: Persistent sciatic artery (PSA) is a rare congenital vascular anomaly that is often asymptomatic, but can be associated with aneurysm formation and potential complications, such as thromboembolism or aneurysm rupture in some cases. We present a case of a 75-year-old woman with a symptomatic thrombus-containing aneurysm of the left PSA. Materials and Methods: The treatment of the PSA aneurysm involved a successful hybrid approach, which included open surgical bypass and endovascular embolization. The open surgical bypass was performed from the left common femoral artery to the left above-the-knee popliteal artery using a synthetic graft, while the aneurysm exclusion was achieved through endovascular plug embolization. Results: Control angiography revealed complete exclusion of the PSA aneurysm. At the 1-month follow-up, there were no palpable pulsatile masses in the left gluteal region, and the patient reported no symptoms. Conclusions: Given the high incidence of limb- and life-threatening complications associated with a PSA aneurysm, accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment are crucial. In this case, a combination of open surgical and endovascular techniques resulted in a favorable outcome for the patient, highlighting the effectiveness of the hybrid approach in managing PSA aneurysms. Further studies are warranted to explore and refine treatment strategies for these complex vascular anomalies.

Medical Ethics in the Buddhism
Authors: KIM Doohie
Published: July 2023

As the religion of teaching people of nirvāna of Buddha, the first objective of Buddhism is to make people realize wisdom, sambodhi on the right doctrine, tathatā; from philosophical point of view, the truth is realizing the cosmic truth, true vitality of self and the correct view of life; and from moralistic view point, it is changing all people to abandon evil mind and to possess good mind; and from living point of view, it is to make all people to have permanent happiness by leaving all the pain behind.
One needs to find eight correct ways in order to reach the primary and fundamental Four Doctrines of kyamuni who said to approximate in medical diagnosis; suffering, its cause, its ending, and the way thereto.
The best statute to find these ways is six pāramitās, and those who can well carry on these six pāramitās are thus Bodhisattvas.
The eight ways are correct view in regard to the Four Axioms, correct thought and purpose, correct speech, correct deed, correct livelihood or occupation, correct zeal, correct remembrance, and correct meditation.
The six pāramitās are carrying on good deeds based on four mind sets: the mind of love, pity, joy, and abandonment. Among the six pāramitās, the first is giving including the bestowing of the truth on others. The next are keeping the commandments, patience under insult, zeal and progress, meditation or contemplation, and wisdom or the power to discern reality or truth.
What if those medical professionals can be acquainted with these ascetic exercise methods? Especially, when a doctor is faced with a certain dilemma or when a certain temptation comes in the way, he/she can be helped in making decisions by thinking with these ascetic exercise ways and methods.
The fact that all human diseases have a definite cause, agrees with a belief of Buddhism, the hetu-pratyana theory; hetu means a primary cause, and pratyana, a secondary cause. Accordingly, modem medicine is the art and science of clarifying a cause to eliminate the cause to bring a patient comfort. A doctor is someone who plays the role of establishing the cause of a disease and treating the disease.
Thus, when one follows the Buddhist ascetic exercise method, it is believed that any problems can be solved more easily to bring comfort. Then, the content of the ascetic exercise is thus become the ethic of Buddhist medical care. In conclusion, it can be known that medical activity is the road to Bodhisattva.
An Internet-Based Discussion on Korean Medico-Ethical Cases
Authors: CHEONG Yoo-Seock
Published: July 2023

Three important medico-ethical cases of Korea were sent via e-mail to ethicists in Israel, Canada, Japan, Germany, and the USA. The titles of the three cases are ‘Discharge against medical advice,’ ‘Medical experimentation on orphans,’ and Choosing a good or bad death’. The ethicists that were contacted agreed on several important points. With respect to the first case, all participants agreed that not the doctor but the health care system and the government are responsible. With respect to the second case, all participants opposed to interventional medical research on children who cannot give informed consent, unless there is a clear health benefit to the children. Finally, in the third case, most participants agreed that the patient’s own decision is the most important factor in decisions regarding ongoing treatment. Internet-based discussions of cases in medical ethics is a valuable and convenient way to receive the opinions of highly qualified ethicists from around the world.
Gene Therapy : Technical Hurdles, Regulations and Ethical Issues
Authors: KOO Young-Mo
Published: July 2023

Gene therapy, a novel approach to treat, cure, or ultimately prevent disease by changing the expression of a person's genes, is still in its infancy. Current gene therapy is primarily experimental, with most human clinical trials only in the research stages. There are three major hurdles that prevent researchers from developing successful gene therapy techniques. The first hurdle is the safety of the gene delivery tool. Viruses, the most common vectors, while effective in delivering therapeutic genes into human cells, introduce other problems to the body--toxicity, immune and inflammatory responses. The Second hurdle is understanding gene function. Of the estimated 35,000 human genes, scientists know the function of less than one third of them. The third hurdle is multigene disorders. With very few exceptions of genetic diseases, most disease involve the interaction of several genes and the environment.
With a set of extremely strict regulations, the NIH in the U.S. took the lead in regulating gene therapy from mid 1970s to early 1990s when it classified gene therapy to be an experimental human research. Since the FDA's takeover in late 1990s, however, gene therapy has usually been considered as a pharmaceutical product. Similarly, the Korean FDA is now in charge of regulating gene therapy in Korea. There are two guidelines prepared by KFDA available for gene therapy, both of which was recently drafted.
There are seven major ethical questions concerning gene-therapy research. First, what is the disease to be treated? Second, What alternative interventions are available for the treatment of this disease? Third, what is the anticipated or potential harm of the experimental gene therapy procedure? Four, what is the anticipated or potential benefit of the experimental gene therapy procedure? Five, what procedure will be followed to ensure fairness in the selection of patient-subjects? Six, what steps will be taken to ensure that patients, or their parents or guardians, give informed and voluntary consent to participating in the research? Seven, how will the privacy of patients and the confidentiality of their medical information be protected? After short discussion of each question, this article concludes with the remark that, unlike germline gene therapy, somatic cell gene therapy seems morally acceptable, as long as the due procedures have been taken.
Professional Ethics in Dentistry
Authors: Kang Shin-Ik
Published: July 2023

In the field of health care ethics, we have two separate academic associations here in Korea, i.e., The Korean Society for Medical Ethics Education and The Korean Bioethics Association, both of which have common goals and mission. However, it is also true that each of the two has its own specific field of research. The former puts stress on ethics arising from daily clinical practices whereas the latter has specific interest in philosophical and sociological problems arising from advanced biotechnology.
Although Korean society has gone through unprecedented general strike of doctors in 2000 and still is in big turmoil, there are very few who openly evoke ethical problems arising from such extraordinary activities. Some tried to explain and justify this phenomenon using basic ethical principles, which originally were meant to be applied in clinical situation and not in strike.
I argue that we have very critical void in health care ethics, that is, professional ethics which tries to explain ethical problems at the level of social groups instead of individuals. I propose that dentistry is very good candidate for the research subject of professional ethics. I explored some possible ethical ground on which professional ethics of dentistry could be built, i. e., moralism, professionalism and unionism. And I propose that we should have more doctors, ethicists and sociologists as well as lay people who are interested not only in medical ethics and bioethics but also in professional ethics, which does not exist in itself but is continuously being produced through interactions between and among various agents.
Bioethical Problems related with the Use of Human Tissues for Scientific Research
Authors: KWON Ivo
Published: July 2023

The importance of human tissues in scientific researches is ever increasing, and more and more scientists and physicians use the human tissue(human wastes) as research objects or subsidiary substances. In this process it is concerned that the human body is granted as just simple material or property, and the human dignity is injured. Human body and its components should not be thought as simple material because it contains the identity and personal history of the owner. In addition it stimulates the symbolic meaning of life and death in most civilized societies, and most people think it ethical to treat the human body-live or dead-carefully.
We can consider a few ethical weak point in treating the human tissues ; it may injure the human dignity and individual right and welfare, as well as threat the public health. Careful management, full informed consent, and concern for the risk of infection and commercialization are important factors that we have to seek in using the human tissues for scientific researches.
Human Organs, The Policy of the United States and Its Ethical Background
Authors: REEM Jong-Sik
Published: July 2023

The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act mandates that the sole source of cadaver organs for transplantation is from any individual of sound mind and 18 years of age or more who prior to death, agree to contribute (or from the next-to-kin who agree to contribute the newly deceased's organ). It also mandates that the sole source of organs from living contributors is from voluntary contributors. Thus it respects contributors' autonomy. However, Section 274e of the U.S. Public Health Code makes it illegal for any person to knowingly acquire, receive, or therwise transfer any human organ for valuable consideration. Anyu one who violates this statue shall be fined not more than $50,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both. It seems that The Uniform Anatomical Gift Act and U.S. Public Health Code go in opposit direction. That is, the former allows 'gift,' one type of alienation; but the other forbids 'sale,' another type of alienation. I want to consider whether it reveals any serious defect.
A Study on the attitudes of the researchers toward the bioethical issues related to xenotransplantation*

In response to the shortage of human organs for transplantation, xenotransplantation is considered as one of the alternatives. In Korea, the xenotransplantation research began at 2002. But xenotransplantation raises a few of bioethical issues: the ethical legitimacy of xenotransplantation research, the ethics of animal experiments, and the problems of the clinical trial.
In 2004 we administered a survey to find out the perceptions and attitudes of the researchers participated in xenotransplantation research toward some bioethical issues related to such research. We received 40 responses and analyzed the data.
This survey showed that all of the respondents answered that xenotransplantation research is ethically legitimate. But 'very much legitimate'(43.6%) is little lower than 'some legitimate'(56.4%).
In related to the ethics of animal experiments, this survey showed some meaningful results: the establishment of Animal Experiment Committee, the need to regular education about animal experiment guideline, the need and justness of transgenic animal and primates recipients etc.
In relation to the clinical trial, this survey showed the researchers are very prudent and cautious. They agree to clinical test after 90% safety guaranteed in animal experiments. But they show a favourable response to xenotransplantation if the safety and effectiveness of xenotransplantation is guaranteed.
