Central Pontine Myelinolysis: A Rare Case Secondary to Chronic Alcoholism
Authors: Hasabi Ishwar , Yashwanth M. , Kalinga B. E. , Patil Vishwanath , Seetaram N. K.
Published: January 2025

Central pontine myelinolysis is a rare neurological condition most frequently caused by rapid correction of hyponatremia. A 46-year-old woman, a chronic alcoholic, presented with a history of progressive flaccid quadriparesis. Routine blood investigations were within normal limits. A magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed central pontine myelinolysis. She was treated with vitamin supplements, nutritional support, and rehabilitation therapy. At follow-up after a month, there was no improvement in her motor powers. The most common cause of central pontine myelinolysis is the rapid correction of hyponatremia. In chronic alcoholics, central pontine myelinolysis is often associated with severe liver disease and Wernicke encephalopathy. Chronic alcohol use predisposes to central pontine myelinolysis but is often diagnosed coincidentally during alcohol abstinence or when they present with an alcohol withdrawal state and its prognosis may be poor and irreversible.
A Cross-sectional Study of Prevalence of Adrenal Insufficiency in Patients with Primary Autoimmune Hypothyroidism in a Tertiary Hospital, India
Authors: Saini Paramjit Kaur , Jacob Jubbin Jagan , Singh Navjot
Published: January 2025

Objectives:

This study aimed to assess the prevalence of adrenal insufficiency in patients with primary hypothyroidism who continued to be symptomatic despite adequate biochemical correction of hypothyroidism with synthetic levothyroxine.

Methods:

This cross-sectional study included 160 patients aged 18–70 years and with primary autoimmune hypothyroidism (PAH) for at least 3 months with normal thyroid-stimulating hormone values. Anti-thyroid peroxidase levels, basal cortisol levels, and 60-min postadrenocorticotropic hormone test were done in the 20 patients who continued to be symptomatic on the Zulevski scale despite euthyroid levels. The comparison of various demographic and clinical factors was done with adrenal insufficiency. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results:

Among 20 symptomatic AIT patients, 8 (40%) were found to have adrenal insufficiency. There was no statistical difference in the age, gender, body mass index, and duration of disease with adrenal insufficiency (P > 0.05). The mean dose of L-thyroxine with adrenal insufficiency and those without adrenal insufficiency were comparable and the difference was not statistically significant (62.5 vs. 68.75 P = 0.4).

Conclusions:

Adrenal insufficiency may be present in patients with hypothyroidism who continue to be symptomatic despite euthyroid levels. The investigations in such patients must not be restricted to just thyroid monitoring but must extend to adrenal function assessment to rule out polyglandular involvement.
A transcendental approach to non-Archimedean metrics of pseudoeffective classes
Authors: Darvas Tamás , Xia Mingchen , Zhang Kewei
Published: January 2025

We introduce the concept of non-Archimedean metrics attached to a transcendental pseudoeffective cohomology class on a compact Kähler manifold. This is obtained via extending the Ross–Witt Nyström correspondence to the relative case, and we point out that our construction agrees with that of Boucksom–Jonsson when the class is induced by a pseudoeffective

\mathbb{Q}

-line bundle.We introduce the notion of a flag configuration attached to a transcendental big class, recovering the notion of a test configuration in the ample case. We show that non-Archimedean finite energy metrics are approximable by flag configurations, and very general versions of the radial Ding energy are continuous, a novel result even in the ample case. As applications, we characterize the delta invariant as the Ding semistability threshold of flag configurations and filtrations, and prove a YTD type existence theorem for Kähler–Einstein metrics in terms of flag configurations.

Zambia experienced the largest cholera epidemic in the country’s history in 2023–2024; however, the antimicrobial susceptibility profile of Vibrio cholerae during the epidemic is unknown. A total of 2,384 stool samples were collected from suspected cholera cases in Eastern, Lusaka, and Luapula provinces in Zambia from January 2023 to March 2024. Among them, 549 (23.5%, n = 549 of 2,341) were culture positive for V. cholerae O1, and antimicrobial susceptibility results were available for 431 (78.5%, n = 431 of 549). Sensitivity for tetracycline was 84.5% (n = 316 of 374) in Lusaka, whereas it was 100% in Eastern and Luapula provinces. Isolates resistant to azithromycin were found only in Lusaka (1.6%, n = 1 of 61). Sensitivity for ciprofloxacin was 81.8% (n = 260 of 318) in Lusaka province, whereas it was 100% in other provinces. Our results suggested an increased prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in V. cholerae against the first- and second-line antibiotic treatments, particularly in the capital. Careful monitoring of the regional antibiogram is warranted.

Social insurance for the self-employed represents a key aspect of protection and
economic security for individuals working for themselves. This system encompasses
various forms of insurance, including health, pension, and unemployment insurance, with the aim of providing basic social benefits. The social insurance system for the
self-employed also plays a vital role in ensuring social security, allowing individuals
to confront the risks associated with self-employment. Although differences in access
to social insurance rights are evident, many countries have adopted social insurance
systems that increasingly aim to equalize coverage between employed and self-
employed individuals. In the paper, the author presents examples of solutions adopted
in European Union countries, highlighting both favorable and less favorable
examples.

Historical experience warns that hate speech precedes crime, and the violence
of intolerance, prejudice and hatred is part of a long-term cultural context that
includes the everyday, more or less visible, practice of marginalization of targeted
communities. In the age of modern mass communications, hate speech is clearly
visible and widespread, and the culture of digital hate is worryingly resistant to
efforts to control and suppress hate speech. The fact that hate speech is defined and
understood in different ways at the national, European and international level
points to the need for a common understanding of the concept, nature and
consequences of this phenomenon in order to develop a more effective policy and
strategy of suppression. The paper discusses the most controversial issues of
(criminal) legal conceptualization of hate speech: definition, relationship with the
right to freedom of speech, selection of protected groups, method of criminalizing
hate speech, and points to relevant standards

The new directive of the European Union on environmental crime, adopted to
improve the protection of the environment through criminal law, marks a significant
shift in the regulation of issues of environmental protection and preservation. This
paper explores the implications of the directive on Serbian criminal legislation, focusing on the harmonization of the Serbian legal system with EU environmental
standards. As a candidate country for EU membership, Serbia faces the challenge of
harmonizing its national laws with EU regulations, especially in the area of
environmental crime. Accordingly, in the paper, we will first look at the key
provisions of the new directive on environmental crime, namely those that specify the
criminal acts that state members should incorporate into their legal provisions of the
law on national legislation, and the guilt for the protection of rights by national
legislation acts, criminal sanctions for natural and legal persons, etc. The paper ends
with consideration of potential changes needed in Serbian criminal legislation in
order to bring it into line with EU norms.

The cessation of ownership right is one of the least discussed real law topics in
our legal theory, which is the reason why the author has chosen it to be the subject of
her analysis. In the first part of her work, the author states that the Law on the basis
of ownership and proprietary relations does not regulate all the situations when
ownership right ceases to exist and that numerus clausus principle does not apply to
them. Then, the author explores the criteria for the classification of the methods for
ceasing ownership right into various types, as well as analyzes different views on this
matter that appear in legal theory. In the second part of the paper, the author reviews
the classification of the methods for the cessation of ownership into complete and
partial, while the third part is dedicated to relative and absolute methods for the
cessation of ownership. She pays special attention to the analysis of the cessation of
ownership as a result of property dilapidation and dereliction. In the fourth part of
the paper, the author sums up all other methods for the ceasing of ownership which
are not regulated by the Law on the basis of ownership and proprietary relations. In
the concluding part, the author outlines the results of her investigation and gives
recommendation for better regulation of this matter.

The child's right to life, survival and development is at the same time one of the
guiding and basic principles of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which
protects the fundamental and closely intertwined personal interests of the child. Life
and survival are prerequisites for realising all other child rights, while child
development is their basic goal. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child,
despite certain dilemmas that may be caused by the content of its preamble, remains
neutral regarding the issue of the beginning of childhood and human life in general
and the problem of legal protection of the unborn child. The best interest of the child also requires ensuring the quality of life of the child,
which should not be below human dignity, which essentially represents an ideal that
is not easily achievable in societies that lack available resources. At the same time,
the child's right to development is comprehensive and multi-layered, including the
overall development of the child in accordance with his/her developmental abilities.

According to the rules of the Serbian Succession Act, the legal position of the
caregiver is relatively inheritable - the heirs will be able to enter into his rights and
obligations if two cumulatively prescribed conditions are met: 1) that the spouse and
descendants of the caregiver are invited to the inheritance and 2) that persons entitled
to inherit agree to the extension of the contract. On the contrary, in situations where
some of the prescribed conditions are not met, the death of the caregiver will result in
the termination of the life care contract. The subject of the author's interest in this
paper are cases in which the death of the caregiver, directly or indirectly, leads to the
termination of the contract.
The content of this paper, if we exclude the introduction and conclusion, is
divided into three parts. After the general remarks concerning the termination of the
life care contract, the second part of the paper is devoted to the exposition and
analysis of the rules of the Succession Act that regulate the legal consequences of the
death of the caregiver, while pointing out their shortcomings and vagueness. In the
end, attention is focused on the effects that the termination of the life care contract
caused by the death of the caregiver has in legal transactions.

The transportation of goods for profit requires the establishment of a legal
relationship between the carrier and the party interested in the transportation
services, that is the sender of certain goods or objects. This legal relationship has
been created by practice and the legislators have just shaped it into the form of a
transport agreement. The essence of any agreement on transport of goods or
passengers in any field of transport is to create a legal relationship between all
interested parties who participate in its execution, that is between the sender and the
carrier. However, very often these agreements produce legal effects (create certain
obligations, but also recognize certain rights) on the parties who did not participate in contracting the transportation services. We are speaking about the rights and
obligations of the carrier towards the recipient of the transported goods, as well as of
the rights and obligations of the recipient of goods. The legal position of the recipient
of goods is specific and generally depends on the sale contract, which, by rule,
precedes the transport agreement but also on the nature of the consignment note
which is regularly issued and which can be transferable or non-transferable. In this
paper the author analyzes this kind of issues, that is the legal position of these parties
(carrier and recipient) and their mutual relationship given the fact that they are not
contracting parties, yet the transport regulations in all fields of transport, impose on
them certain obligations, but also recognize some of their rights.

Authors: Kadhim Hawraa Mahdi
Published: January 2025

Background: Infertility also termed as a medical ailment of the reproductive system, hinders a person from conceiving. Anyone can develop this and its causes are many. Infertility is of three types: primary, secondary and unexplained. This blog will elaborate on the different types of infertility that stems from both males and females and try to unfold the complexities that come with this sensitive issue. Some common infertility causes include an irregular cycle of ovulation (the release of an egg on a monthly basis), low-quality semen, and blocked or damaged fallopian tubes.
Objectives: The plasma levels of anti-Müllerian hormone, oxidative stress, and lipid profile of women with reproductive issues will be examined in this study.
Materials and Methods: The case-control study included a total of 45 women who were healthy and 45 women who were unable to conceive World Health Organization. The study took place in the private clinic and the Babylon Teaching Hospital for Maternity and Children, which is located in Hilla City, and took place between the 1st of October 2023 to the 13th of December 2024. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used for the measurement of serum concentrations of the hormone whilst the SPSS software was used for the performing the statistical analysis.
Results: After conducting the research, it came to light that unlike the control group, patients in comparison had significantly diminished levels of the anti-miillerian hormone, while also displaying substantially elevated levels of oxidative stress and lipid profiles in the serum (p <0.05).
Conclusion: The serum levels of the anti-miillerian hormone present in women suffering from infertility were lower than average, correlating with the high levels of oxidative stress. These findings indicate that oxidative stress is an important factor in most of the infertility pathogenesis mechanisms described in this manuscript.

The modernist individual is seen as a Creator, shaping their own existence through actions and perceptions, facing the following dilemma of Western thought: despite the absurdity and meaninglessness of life, humans possess unfettered freedom to act. Everything is meaningless, but through the prism of death, a new creation begins, marked by the humanistic courage to act and create in meaninglessness. As Voltaire said: “If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. Religion is secondary but necessary: people need guidance.”
The model of original sin in the light of modernism is transformed into an “accepted, reconciled” model of thinking, where action loses its significance. This aligns with the general characteristics of characters in modernist literature, for the character here is a movement of thought, therefore the sin they commit is also simply a movement of thought. At the same time, the symbol of the "Tree of Knowledge" is an attempt to combine the symbolism of Frazer's "Golden Bough" and the "Tree of Life", which blurs the boundaries between past and present, accomplished and unfinished, showing the paradox of a modern character who is everywhere and nowhere, and their very existence, depends on the acknowledgment of sin.
Methods and procedures for assessing the culture of adolescent health
Authors: Biryukova N. V. , Butareva M. M.
Published: January 2025

The development of a human health culture is a complex health issue that requires the establishment of a system of health education and training from an early age. The duration and complexity of developing a culture of healthy living require scientifically based, targeted and systematic interventions on adolescents to develop behaviours that ensure a high level of health culture. The lack of a common definition of a health culture limits its quantification and comparison. In the course of the work, a theoretical analysis of the scientific literature was conducted to study the diversity of approaches to the evaluation of the culture of adolescent health. The most common methods of studying health culture are given. It has been revealed that to assess the level of health culture from the medical point of view there is a certain lack of complex theoretical approaches and instrumental methods that could allow to assess the studied phenomenon taking into account all its diversity. A synthesis of experiences and analysis shows that there is a need to develop a universal system of evaluation of adolescent health culture with a high adaptive capacity and the ability to adapt to any group of adolescents.

Published: January 2025

This study analyses the legal considerations behind the acquittal of Gregorius Ronald Tannur in a murder case (verdict number 454/Pid.B/2024/PN Sby) and its conformity with the principles of justice and legal certainty in Indonesia. The purpose of this research is to critically examine the legal reasoning used by the judge in the judgement. Using a normative legal research methodology, this study examined primary legal materials, including the Criminal Code and court judgements, as well as secondary sources. The findings show that the judge's decision ignored important evidence, such as the visum et repertum showing injuries to the victim and CCTV footage showing the defendant's involvement. Although the judge argued that the defendant was not guilty and had tried to help the victim, this claim was not in line with the facts revealed during the trial. This raises significant concerns about the integrity of the judicial process and the influence of external factors on legal decisions. To restore public confidence, reform of judicial practices and stricter enforcement against corruption among judges is essential to ensure fair and proper outcomes in the legal system.

Adam, peace be upon him, participated in building the earth. Islam also distinguished women and placed them in a position worthy of them, as women in the era of early Islam had a major role in the establishment of the state. Islam, just as the woman was beside the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, during the Prophet's migration, helping him with the necessary provisions and provisions for him in his raids, and in the Messenger's raids, she played a role in treating the wounded, and preparing supplies and food.

The first section dealt with: the status of women in Islam, while the second section dealt with: women's contribution to political life in the Umayyad era. The third section was devoted to studying the political role of women in wars.
 
Originality/Value: Guardians must be keen on educating and cultivating women, considering that they are half of society.

Influence of Self-Efficacy and Peer Support: A Continuation Study on MM Program Graduate Students for SDG’s
Authors: Yusriani Sri , Patiro Shine Pintor Siolemba
Published: January 2025

Objective: This research aims to analyze the influence of self-efficacy and peer support on learning enthusiasm and digital competence in online distance learning, continuing previous research with a focus on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
 
Theoretical Framework: The study is grounded in social cognitive theory (SCT), which posits that individuals' belief in their abilities (self-efficacy) and peer support play crucial roles in their learning behavior and digital competence development.
 
Method: A quantitative approach was used, with data collected from 312 students and alumni of the Open University Graduate School from March 12, 2024, to October 12, 2024, during the second year of their community’s formation. Respondents, all working professionals, were selected via purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using SEM-AMOS.
 
Results and Discussion: The findings indicate that self-efficacy does not significantly impact learning enthusiasm, while peer support has a positive influence. However, neither self-efficacy, peer support, nor learning enthusiasm significantly impacts digital competence. These results highlight the importance of peer support in fostering learning enthusiasm, which may suggest a focus on community-building initiatives in digital learning environments.
 
Research Implications: Enhancing peer support systems in online learning could improve students' learning performance and contribute to SDGs by equipping learners with essential skills for digital economies.
 
Originality/Value: This study continues previous research in higher-education with Online Distance Learning (ODL) by applying SEM-AMOS analysis to examine the role of self-efficacy and peer support in the evolving digital education landscape, with a focus on SDGs.
Purposive Communication (PC) and Test of English for International Communication (TOEIC) Rating of Philippine University Students
Authors: Galicia Leomar S. , Somido Ferdinand C. , Bulauan Freddie B. , Gueta Loupel B.
Published: January 2025

Objective: This study investigated the relationship between PC grade and TOEIC rating, measured the influence of PC on international communication skills and identified insights and experiences regarding the value of PC in developing communication skills.
 
Theoretical Framework: The study was anchored on the communicative competence theory.
 
Method: Convergent mixed-methods design was used in this study by combining quantitative (TOEIC rating and survey data) and qualitative data (interview) taken from 427 randomly selected 1st year students.
 
Results and Discussion: Results show that there is some catching up to do in communication skills as both reflected in the respondents’ PC performance and TOEIC ratings. However, a very strong influence of PC on improving their communication skills was found. Supporting our quantitative data, results showed that lessons and experiences in PC are extremely important for multicultural understanding, better sociolinguistic awareness, and increased competencies in school and workplace discourse. Support for additional language courses for the college curriculum was also articulated.
 
Research Implications: Producing communicatively competent graduates not only for local discourse but more importantly for international communication provides a competitive advantage so they can well navigate the terrains of the increasingly evolving landscape of the workplace.
 
Originality/Value: This mixed-methods study on PC and TOEIC is first of its kind as we argue that while language proficiency levels provided using TOEIC rating may not totally capture the overall linguistic repertoire and competence of college students, it is very helpful to provide baseline information for better curricular offerings, improved instructional design, and enhanced language learning experience.
Job Satisfaction: The Golden Bridge to Optimal Employee Performance in a Palm Oil Company in South Kalimantan, Indonesia
Authors: Dahniar  , Titisari Purnamie , Rato Dominikus , Susanto Arnis Budi , Tobing Diana Sulianti K.
Published: January 2025

Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of Person-Organization Fit based on Waja Sampai Kaputing (POF WASAKA) and organizational justice on employee performance, with job satisfaction as an intervening factor, in palm oil companies in South Kalimantan.
 
Method: The research sample consisted of 220 employees, selected using probability sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, and the analysis was conducted using SmartPLS software version 3.0.
 
Results and Discussion: The study found that POF WASAKA positively affects job satisfaction, while organizational justice also influences job satisfaction. POF WASAKA has a direct effect on performance, whereas organizational justice does not directly affect performance. Additionally, both POF WASAKA and organizational justice impact performance indirectly through job satisfaction. Job satisfaction itself was found to have a significant effect on performance. These findings suggest that alignment between organizational values and employees' values, based on the concept of Waja Sampai Kaputing, leads to optimal performance in palm oil companies. However, organizational justice alone does not directly influence employee performance; job satisfaction acts as an intermediary factor for enhancing performance.
 
Research Implications: This research implies that organizations in the palm oil sector should focus on ensuring a strong alignment between employee values and organizational culture to enhance job satisfaction and, consequently, employee performance. Additionally, organizational justice should be pursued with the understanding that it indirectly influences performance through its effect on job satisfaction.
 
Originality/Value: This study contributes to the understanding of how cultural values (POF WASAKA) and organizational justice interact to influence employee performance, with a particular focus on job satisfaction as an intermediary. The research provides insights into the unique role of local cultural values in organizational behavior in Indonesia, particularly in the palm oil industry.
