Published: June 2020

Herbal medicines derived from plant extracts are being increasingly  utilized to treat a wide variety of clinical diseases, mainly in developing  countries  for primary  health care because  of better cultural acceptability,  better compatibility  with the human  body and fewer side effects.   Natural medicinal  plants having   various secondary  metabolites  such as flavonoids,  alkaloids,  phenol, terpenoids  etc and these have rich medicinal value such as anti-oxidant and anti- microbial activities.  Since time immemorial, medicinal plants are widely used for the treatment of different infectious diseases. Infectious diseases caused by bacteria strains have a large impact on public health. Now a days multiple  drug resistance  has developed  due to the indiscriminate  use of commercial  anti-microbial  drugs and impairs  the treatment of infectious disease. The present study was focused on the different parts of Jatropha curcas Linn. It belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae , a large deciduous soft wooded shrub 3-4 m in height with sticky juice. The leaf part of the plant is used as galactagogue, lactagogue, rubefacient and have insecticidal properties  and they are useful in foul ulcers, tumors and scabies. Seed of the plant is mainly used for dysentery,  urinary  discharge,  abdominal  complaints  anaemia,  fistula  and diseases  of the heart.  The present  investigation  was carried  out  to study  the antibacterial  activity  and evaluated  for chloroform,  methanol  and diethyl  ether  extracts  of various  parts  of Jatropha  curcas Linn against Escherichia  coli, Staphylococcus  aureus and Aeromonas  species  by disc diffusion  method. Based on the zone of inhibition,  the antibacterial  potential of different parts of the plant viz. leaves, stems and seeds were analysed. The evaluation  of various solvent  extractions  revealed  the effectiveness  of the antibacterial  activity  of the plant.  Among  the various  extracts,  leaves,  stems  and seeds parts of the plant extracted with chloroform  showed maximum  zone of inhibition against all the tested bacterial species followed by methanol and diethyl ether. According to our results, the Jatropha curcas L can be considered  as a rich source of    active compounds with antibacterial activity. This may recommend a new pathway in elucidating a potent natural antibacterial  agent.

Advanced Primary Care Orthopedics: Bridging the Gap in Musculoskeletal Education
Authors: Dietrich Karl , Hutchinson Elizabeth , Lu Miranda D.
Published: June 2020

Background and Objectives: Musculoskeletal problems are common in primary care, yet many family physicians lack confidence and competence in this area. The Advanced Primary Care Orthopedics (APCO) course utilizes hands-on physical exam instruction, interactive cases, and intentional repetition to teach anatomy, a standardized exam, and important diagnoses. This study assesses the effectiveness of APCO in improving musculoskeletal exam knowledge and confidence.
Methods: APCO is a 1.5-day course taught annually to family medicine residents. A 1-day course has also been conducted as a preconference workshop targeting faculty physicians. Participants completed pre- and postcourse assessments to evaluate their knowledge and confidence with the musculoskeletal exam. We compared results using mean differences with paired t-test statistics.
Results: In the 2018 and 2019 resident courses, 23 of 30 participants (77%) completed the knowledge assessment and 25 of 30 participants (83%) completed the confidence assessment. Knowledge assessment scores improved by 9.5 points (P<.05) after completion of the course. Confidence in the musculoskeletal exam, as assessed on a 5-point Likert scale (1–not confident at all; 5–very confident), improved from 2.2 to 3.8 after the course (P<.05). In the 2018 preconference workshop, 23 of 36 participants (64%) completed the confidence assessment. Confidence increased from 2.17 to 3.61 (P<.05) after course completion.
Conclusions: Participation in the APCO course increased short-term musculoskeletal knowledge and confidence. APCO has many potential applications for residency curriculums, faculty development, and continuing medical education.

Published: June 2020

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) was one of the earliest domesticated plant species.
Biological classification (taxonomy or systematization) manifests
evolutional relationships between taxons according to trait similarities.
When it comes to taxonomy, hemp is one of the most controversial plant
species due to significant effects of environmental conditions on hemp
phenology and expression of quantitative traits as well as different levels
of gender expression observed in hemp plants. Controversial taxonomy of hemp
has gone through several phases throughout history. The attitude on the
number of species within the genus Cannabis and the criteria used in
taxonomic units division were under dispute. Initially focused on
morphological characteristics and geographical origin, the approach was
greatly amended by the development of molecular and biochemical techniques.
The main cause of taxonomic uncertainties is the inbreeding ability of all
wild Cannabis populations, resulting in continual variability of
quantitative traits. The aim of the paper is to review the history of
Cannabis classification including different approaches to this scientific
issue.

Published: June 2020

Catharanthus roseus L. (G) Don, commonly known as Madagascar periwinkle, is
an important medicinal plant receiving much attention from researchers. This
plant is a rich source of terpenoid indole alkaloids (TIAs). The gamma
radiation and somaclonal variation may provide suitable methods for genetic
changes to increase medicinal components of C. roseus. In the present study,
30 and 60 (Gy) gamma rays were irradiated on seeds. C. roseus seeds were
cultured in Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium in three different groups, 0 Gy
(control) 30, and 60 Gy gamma irradiations. Morphological characteristics of
regenerated plantlets were measured for surface area of leaves, stem length,
root length, and fresh weight. The genetic variations were evaluated using
nine inter-simple sequence repeats and 25 sequences related amplified
polymorphism markers. Morphological results showed a significant difference
between studied groups in leaf surface and twisted leaf in 60 Gy irradiated
plantlets. The analysis of molecular variance revealed the significant
genetic difference among groups. STRUCTURE analysis showed genetic
variability both within and among groups. Using the NJ tree analysis, the
plants studied were categorized into three distinct groups, which were
supported by principal coordinate analysis (PCoA). In conclusion, gamma
irradiation produced morphological and genetic changes in C. roseus
regenerated in vitro plantlets providing to be a suitable method for further
mutation breeding in periwinkle.

Turkey has great ecological, topological and geographical diversity within
the country and this diversity has contributed not only to a high genetic
diversity, but has also allowed the successful introduction and cultivation
of a great number of fruit tree taxa. Turkey is also known to have a great
richness of wild edible fruits with regard to variety and biological
diversity. Rowanberry or mountain ash (Sorbus aucuparia L.) is one of the
wild edible fruits naturally found most parts of Turkey. Present study
describes morphological (tree growth habit, fruit color) and biochemical
fruit traits (vitamin C, organic acids, specific sugars, total phenolic
content, total anthocyanin content, total antioxidant capacity) of 17 seed
propagated rowanberry genotypes. We found significant differences among
almost all studied parameters. The genotypes had diverse L, chroma and hue
values, which found between 28.76-42.38%; 24.11-29.45% and 33.13-42.66%,
respectively. Among sugars and organic acids, Glucose and Malic acid were
dominant in rowanberry fruits, respectively. Total phenolic content, total
anthocyanin content, vitamin C and antioxidant activity varied from 123-189
mg GAE per 100 g, 18-57 mg per 100 g, 25.6-40.2 mg per 100 g and 3.36-6.92
mM trolox equivalent per 100 g of fresh weight (FW) basis. Results suggest
using rowanberry fruits in production of functional foods with high
biologically active properties.
Cytogenetic findings in Serbian patients with Klinefelter syndrome

Published: June 2020

Klinefelter syndrome (KS) describes the phenotype of the most common sex
chromosome abnormality in humans (1/600 newborn males). The most widespread
karyotype in affected patients is 47,XXY, but various others have been
described. The aim of this study was to examine the karyotypes of a group of
patients suspected of having Klinefelter's syndrome. Between January 1993
and April 2018 104 adult KS patients were evaluated. Cytogenetic analysis
was carried out on metaphases obtained from phytohemagglutinin-stimulated
peripheral lymphocytes using a standard procedure. Fluorescence in situ
hybridization (FISH) analysis was performed on peripheral blood specimens.
Vysis CEP X/Y- alpha satellite DNA probes were used to detect X and Y
chromosomes. We identified KS presenting the ?standard? or 47,XXY karyotype
in eighty three (80%) patients, while five (5%) KS patients showed the
mosaic karyotype 47,XXY/46,XY and three (3%) patients had the mosaic
karyotype 47,XXY/46,XX. In six (6%) cases KS patients with the ?standard?
karyotype also had autosomal chromosomal abnormalities, while numerical sex
chromosome abnormalities, with karyotypes 48,XXYY occurred in two (2%)
subjects, 47,XYY in three (3%) and 47,XYY/46,XY in two (2%) individuals.
Thus, most of our KS patients had the 'standard', 47,XXY karyotype, but some
men formed a group of patients with a diversity of other karyotypes. These
disparate chromosomal variants may have different physical and mental
implications for the general symptomatology of KS. Therefore, it is
important to determine the nature of the karyotype of every male with
clinical characteristics of KS in very early childhood in order to initiate
an adequate, personalized, medical approach.

The purpose of this report is to comment the results from long-term growth
hormone (GH) treatment of Bulgarian patients suffering from rare genetic
disease-Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) with reference to the age, body
composition, complications and genetic etiology. Statistical analysis was
performed by ANOVA with post hoc Kruskal-Wallis test and Dunn's multiple
comparison tests. In 90% of the patients maternal uniparental disomy (mUPD)
was found to be the cause of the disease. No cases due to imprinting defects
are found. The BMI data shows no statistically significant difference
between BMI at diagnosis (21.850), at the beginning of the GH therapy
(21.852) and current BMI (24.09) - measured under the GH background. Early
GH treatment allows to overcome arising obstacles in time and to improve the
quality of life for PWS children and their families. During the fourteen
years study period only ten patients were diagnosed with the disease. Ninety
percent (n=9) of the children were found to be with maternal UPD (mUPD) and
only one case was due to deletion in 15q11-13. These results are in
agreement with other studies in the field which shows the need for
reassessment and new robust statistical analysis of the frequency of
genetic mechanisms for PWS.
Are the genes CA6, TAS2R38, TCF7L2, FTO, TAS1R2, TAS1R3, GNAT3 receptor polymorphisms involved on exceptional longevity and risk of sarcopenia? A cross sectional study in Italian aging population
Authors: Perna Simone
Published: June 2020

This study hypothesized that genetic polymorphisms of different genes could
modulate the lifespan and muscle health or sarcopenia. We investigated the
possible associations between longevity and the common genetic variation
polymorphism such as rs713598, rs7903146, rs9939609, rs35874116, rs2274333,
rs7792845, rs35744813 in a population of 360 Italian elderly aged 65- 100
years. The polymorphism rs9939609, of the FTO gene, shows an association (p<
0.001) with longevity. In particular, the frequency of T/T homozygotes
increases gradually from 35% in subjects aged 65-80 ys up to 80% in
centenarians. The polymorphism of rs2274333 (CA6) gene shows that A/G
frequency increases continuously through older classes reaching the 80% in
(95-100) (p trend <0.05). Another important founding regards the
polymorphism of rs35744813 of TAS1R3 gene. The C/C genotype frequency is
over 80% in all classes (65-95 years) but appears increase in oldest old and
reach 100% (95-100 ys). While T allele frequency decrease continuously
through older classes reaching the 0% in T/T and 5% in C/T in (95-100)
(p-trend <0.05). These data provide suggestive evidence on the possible
correlation between longevity and FTO gene (obesity related), CA6 gene (the
gustin- bitter taste related) and TAS1R3 (umami taste stimulus related).
None associations with sarcopenia were detected.

Published: June 2020

In potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L. 2n=4x=48) both the general combining
ability (GCA) effects of parents and specific combining ability (SCA) of
crosses are important in conditioning traits of economic importance. The
objective of this study was to determine the combining abilities for tuber
yield and its components on seven high-yielding commercial cultivars of
potato and advanced potato clones. Significant differences were found
between the parents in the all of traits that are associated with high
genetic diversity between parents. GCA for tuber form, length of stolon and
number of tuber per plant were high and for stem height, tuber skin
appearance and eye dept were low. Heritability estimated from 49 percent in
the number of stem to 84 percent in tuber skin appearance. Both heritability
and genetic advance as percent of mean estimates were high for tuber yield,
tuber form, length of stolon, tuber size, and number of tuber per plant and
tuber size uniformity. AS10, AS12, AS14 and UT43 clones was best general
combiner for the tuber yield, tuber size uniformity, eye depth, tuber dry
matter and length of stolon. The SCA effects were the highest in the cross
Savalan?UT43, Luca?AS20, Stbr2?Savalan and Picasso?HS in the traits were
considered. Savalan and UT43 parents used in the crosses also have high GCA
in studied traits. Finally results showed that Savalan, UT43, AS10, AS12 and
AS14 in the studied traits was the high GCA and better than other parents.
Chemically induced male sterility in common wheat mediated by Aegilops cytoplasm
Authors: Titan Primoz , Iskra Jernej , Murai Koji , Meglic Vladimir
Published: June 2020

Several approaches have been proposed, in the past, for the development of
hybrid wheat varieties. Nevertheless, common wheat hybrids today account for
less than 1% of the world's wheat production. The reason for the limited
success of hybrid wheat varieties is the fact that to date, a simple and
efficient system for the production of hybrid seed has not been developed. A
two-line system using photoperiod-sensitive cytoplasmic male sterility
(PCMS) caused by Aegilops crassa Boiss. cytoplasm seems to be very promising
way to produce hybrid wheat seed on large scale. Non-desirable side effects
of PCMS system are the unreliable sterility of the male sterile lines under
different latitudes. Therefore, we tried to connect male sterility system
based on Ae. crassa cytoplasm with chemical induction of male sterility. The
presented results reveal that the majority of male sterility genes are
conserved in the Ae. crassa cytoplasm and that their effects can be promoted
by chemical signals, such as synthetic auxins (e.g.,
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid). Our research work represents the
development of a novel male sterility system which is controlled by chemical
signals (e.g., synthetic auxins and their pro-herbicide analogues) and
mediated by Ae. crassa cytoplasm.
Genetic variations in yield and yield contributing traits of green amaranth
Authors: Rashad M.M.I. , Sarker Umakanta
Published: June 2020

The experiment was carried out at the experimental farm of Bangabandhu Sheikh
Mujibur Rahman Agricultural University (BSMRAU), Salna, Gazipur during 2015
using twenty promising genotypes (AA21 to AA40) of green amaranth in
Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications to study the
variability, genetic parameters, association of yield related morphological
traits to foliage yield and to find out the direct and indirect effects of
components characters towards foliage yield. The significant analysis of
variance revealed wide range of variability among the twenty genotypes of
green amaranth. Except for stem diameter, foliage yield and all the yield
contributing morphological traits had high heritability including high
genetic advance in percent of mean, high to moderate genotypic and
phenotypic variances and coefficient of variations with minimum differences
of PCV and GCA indicated that the traits were governed by additive gene
actions and had a great scope of selection for the improvement of green
amaranth. Correlation study revealed that total biomass and shoot weight
showed significant association with foliage yield per m2. Hence, selection
based on total biomass and shoot weight could remarkably improve the foliage
yield of green amaranth. However, the path coefficient analysis revealed
that shoot weight had the highest positive direct effect (1.19) with
significant genotypic correlation on foliage yield. It indicated that direct
selection based on shoot weight would be effective for the improvement of
foliage yield of green amaranth. Mean performance study revealed that the
genotypes, such as AA21, AA22, AA24, AA25, AA27, AA28, AA31, AA36 and AA39
had high foliage yields including most of the yield related morphological
traits over the grand mean. These genotype could be selected as high
yielding varieties or parental lines for future breeding program.

A Valuation Framework for Assessing Compensation Arising from Oil Spills in the Niger Delta Area of Nigeria
Authors: Babawale Gabriel Kayode , Ukabam Titilayo
Published: June 2020

Both empirical and anecdotal evidences suggest that valuers in the study area do not generally follow appropriate valuation procedure particularly when assessing compensation for environmental pollution arising from oil spills. This abuse of the valuation process, according to a number of extant studies, is largely responsible for widespread incoherent, inconsistent and controversial compensation assessment with its numerous potential socio-economic repercussions for a nation that oil revenue is her economic mainstay. This study is based exclusively on secondary data drawn from results of extant studies, valuation reports, relevant statutes and civil laws including several years of experience of one of the authors as expert witnesses in cases relating to compensation for oil spills in the study area. The paper is particularly written in response to Babawale (2013) which observed certain fundamental procedural deficiencies in valuation for compensation with “potentially grave repercussion for the integrity and the future of the valuation profession in the study area.” To redress the observed deficiencies and save the profession from further embarrassment, the study provides practitioners with an institutional perspective; a purpose-designed procedural framework that reflects and addresses the peculiarities of valuation for compensation for oil spills. Besides contributing to the recurrent debate on the vexed subject of compensation for oil spills and filling up part of the apparent wide gap presently existing in the body of knowledge particularly in Nigeria, the eight-step valuation process proffered is expected to boost valuers’ confidence and improve the reliability of valuation for compensation in the study area. The ultimate goal is overall improvement in the practice of valuation for compensation in the study area in particular, and Nigeria as a whole. This is expected to minimize the costs of protracted court cases including the contention and restiveness that is often associated with compensation matters in the study area. Keywords: compensation, oil spills, Nigeria, valuation process.

Pusat Inkubasi Bisnis Syariah – Majelis Ulama Indonesia (PINBAS MUI) dibentuk untuk mengedukasi pelaku bisnis UMKM berbasis syariah dimana kegiatan utamanya adalah memfasilitasi sertifikasi halal untuk produk makanan dan minuman rroduksi rumahan. Sejak awal tahun 2019 ITB-AD menjalin kerjasama dengan PIN-BAS MUI agar dapat bersinergi dalam memecahkan problematika dunia usaha UMKM, mendukung program pemerintah untuk pemberdayaan UMKM di tanah air. Kegiatan workshop perhitungan harga pokok produksi ditujukan untuk memberikan penguasaan kepada peserta dalam menghitung harga pokok produksi makanan dan minuman. Kegiatan terdiri dari survey awal untuk mengidentifikasi permasalahan yang dihadapi. Permasalahan yang umumnya terjadi adalah kurangnya pemahaman terhadap biaya produksi dimana biaya produksi dipahami hanya terdiri dari biaya bahan baku sehingga terjadi kesalahan dalam penentuan harga pokok produksi. Berdasarkan masalah tersebut, diselenggarakan kegiatan workshop diawali dengan melakukan pre-tes, penyampaian materi, kegiatan diskusi, latihan, pendampingan untuk memastikan bahwa peserta telah mampu menghitung harga pokok produksi serta pos-tes tentang pemahaman teori dan konsep harga pokok produksi. Berdasarkan pendampingan dapat dipastikan bahwa peserta mampu menghitung harga pokok produksi dengan benar.  Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) created Central of Sharia Business Incubation (PINBAS) to give sharia education with the main target facilitating halal certification for the members. The members consist of businessmen who run small and medium enterprises (SME) in the foods and beverages home industry sector. At the beginning of the year 2019, PINBAS-MUI along with ITB-AD are doing some collaborations to solve the problems of these enterprises and to support the government for SME’s empowerment programs. One of the collaboration programs was doing a workshop for food and beverages SME’s industry which located around the campus of ITB-AD. The workshop aims to give the participants about the pieces of knowledge of the cost of production. The activities of the workshop started with problems identifying. The problems identified generally are the lack of cost of production concepts. This lack of knowledge is especially because the term of the cost was understood only for the cost of materials. They did not compute labors and overhead expenses as the cost of the product. Based on the problems, the workshop started by giving them the theory, demonstrations, exercises and accompaniment to ensure that the participants understood the contents. The results have shown that the accompaniment effectively increases the capability of participants to count the cost of production correctly.
Interest Rate Policy and Exchange Rates Volatility Lessons from Indonesia
Authors: Kuncoro Haryo
Published: June 2020

Whether or not inflation targeting adoption leads to increased volatility of exchange rates is controversial. The volatility increases with inflation targeting as a result of the flexible exchange rate regime. Others argue that inflation targeting delivers the best outcomes in terms of lower exchange rate volatility. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether interest rate policy in inflation targeting frameworks – that is subjected to control inflation rate – may reduce the volatility of exchange rates. To test the hypothesis, we use monthly data in the case of Indonesia over the period 2005(7)-2016(7). Several control variables are introduced in the regressions. The result of the autoregressive distributed lag model proves the interest rate policy and foreign exchange intervention fail to reduce the exchange rates volatility. It seems inflation targeting in Indonesia puts too much emphasis on stabilizing the domestic currency thus leading to benign neglect of stabilizing its external value, ultimately resulting in increased exchange rate volatility. These findings suggest that central bank credibility plays an important role in conducting inflation targeting policy which operates primarily through a signalling effect.

In determining its Domestic Systemic Important Banking (D-SIB), Indonesia implemented the Global Systemic Important Banking (G-SIB) based on three of five indicators, those being size, interconnectedness, and complexity. Both the G-SIB and the Indonesian D-SIB use an equal weight for each indicator, that is, 1/5 and 1/3 respectively. However, the weight could be modified by using the eigenvector of the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). We showed that this new weighting system was better than the official weighting system (referred to in this paper as the POJK approach) based on the Financial Services Authority (OJK) regulation No.46/POJK.03/2015.
Christ Our Light: The Expectation of Seeing God in Calvin’s Theology of the Christian Life
Authors: Card-Hyatt Carsten
Published: June 2020

The beatific vision plays a prominent role in the history of Christian ethics. Reformed ethics has an ambiguous relationship to this history, on two counts. First, it offers some qualified critiques of the role of vision in ordering ethical understanding, and second, on some accounts, Reformed ethics shares some responsibility for the loss of transcendence in the modern world, and the narrowing of the ethical field that has resulted from this loss. This essay argues that the vision of God in John Calvin’s understanding of the Christian life offers resources to defend a Reformed ethics from some recent detractors. Further, it provides a constructive contrast with the role of eschatology in a prominent strand of 20th century ethics. This argument is sustained through a close reading of Calvin’s biblical commentaries on the role of theophanies and the promise of the vision of God, and of Book III, chapters 6-10 of theInstitutes.
Triune Agency, East and West: Uncreated Energies or Created Effects?
Authors: Vidu Adonis
Published: June 2020

The present paper situates the Western and Eastern models of divine agency within their respective ontological frameworks. I show how the Western conception of divine agency as the production of ‘created effects’ is rooted in a particular understanding of the relationship between transcendence and immanence, but also in a trinitarian ontology which understands God as pure actuality. On the other hand, the Eastern understanding of divine agency through the conceptuality of uncreated energies is similarly rooted in the real distinction between God’s nature and energies. Without trying to critique the Eastern model, I demonstrate one particular strength of the Western approach, namely its ability to distinguish between divine actions, which are inseparable, and divine missions, which are proper to the triune persons. Such a distinction enables us to affirm both the inseparability of triune operations, as well as the possibility of relations to distinct triune persons.
Baptizing Theosis: Sketching an Evangelical Account
Authors: Stamps R. Lucas
Published: June 2020

This essay explores some of the dogmatic challenges involved in developing a distinctively evangelical account of the doctrine of theosis, that is, humanity’s participation in the life of God. After offering some preliminary clarifications regarding the terminology of theosis, the paper sketches in broad strokes how an account of theosis might take shape within the structures of evangelical theology. David Bebbington’s famous evangelical quadrilateral— biblicism, crucicentrism, conversionism, and activism—serves as the basic framework (Bebbington 1989: 1-19). It will be argued that evangelical theology can accommodate a version of theosis within this structure, but that evangelicals’ understanding of these categories may require some ‘flexing’ in order to make room for a more Christocentric and participatory conceptualization of redemption, one that culminates in the beatific vision of the redeemed when ‘God will be all in all’ (1 Cor 15:28). The final section of the paper points to a pair of important figures who may serve as resources for an evangelical retrieval of theosis.

The process of granting credit with the guarantee of Mortgage Rights experienced many obstacles, one of which is the cancellation of credit agreement due to a lawsuit from a third party. Examples of problems that will researchers take is a case between PT PNM as creditor and Erlinawati as a debtor. Erlinawati applied for credit to PT PNM and pledged SHM No. 1716 without her husband's agreement, Bagus Satriya. As time went by, Erlinawati could not fulfill its obligations as stipulated in the credit agreement, and then PT PNM sent a warning letter to Erlinawati. Good people who know the land and buildings of his property are used as a direct guarantee to file a lawsuit to the Blora District Court. The Blora District Court ruled that credit agreements and Deed of Mortgage Rights (APHT) are invalid and null and void. So far the legal protection for debtors who have sued from the other party on the guarantee given by the creditor has not been regulated specially in the legislation. The law only regulates bad debts and debt repayment through the execution process stipulated in the Law on Banking and Insurance Rights Act. Legal protection that creditor can use when obtaining a lawsuit from a third party is by using the general guarantees provided for in Articles 1131 and 1132 of the Civil Code.
