Association between endometrial polyps and chronic endometritis
Authors: Elaal Yara H.A. , Aglan Diaa M. , Salem Hesham A.A.
Published: September 2024

Background

Chronic endometritis (CE) is a persistent inflammatory disorder of the endometrium. It is now diagnosed by observing the presence of plasma cell infiltration in the stromal tissue of the endometrium.

Aim

This study aimed to examine the potential correlation between endometrial polyps (EPs) and CE.

Patients and methods

This prospective cohort study was carried out on 60 women, aged from 20 to 50 years old, diagnosed to have EP by three dimensional transvaginal ultrasound with color doppler, during a diagnostic workup for abnormal uterine bleeding, infertility, or accidentally discovered by ultrasound.

Results

Suspicious manifestation of CE in patients with EP as (hyperemia and stromal oedema) was significantly higher in patients with CE than patients without CE (P value<0.001) by hysteroscopy. Regarding histopathology, simple EP was present in 33 (55%) patients, Adenomyomatous polyp was present in eight (13.33%) patients, angiofibromatous polyp was present in one (1.67%) patients and polypoid endometrial hyperplasia was present in 18 (30%) patients. regarding the relation between EP and CE 15 (25%) patients had CE by histopathology.

Conclusions

In pCE, -menopausal women identified with EP by three dimensional transvaginal ultrasonography, CE and EPs may be dependent and two phases of the same pathogenic process. Either single or many EPs positively correlate with CE. CE prevalence was comparable for single- and multiple-polyp individuals.
Three-dimensional ultrasound versus magnetic resonance imaging in the diagnosis of placenta accreta spectrum
Authors: Fouda Aya R. , Emam Haitham H.E. , Aglaan Diaa M. , Ageez Mai N.
Published: September 2024

Background

Placenta accrete spectrum (PAS), is an increasing obstetric issue. The prevalence of PAS has fundamentally increased because of the global increase in cesarean section (CS) rates over the past few decades. To diagnose PAS in utero.

Aim

This study aimed to assess and compare the diagnostic accuracy of two imaging modalities: magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound (US).

Patients and methods

This prospective observational study included 60 pregnant women between the ages of 21 and 43 who were between 26- and 38 weeks’ gestation and met the clinical criteria of having had placenta previa central and prior uterine surgery (such as cesarean section, myomectomy, or curettage). 3D US and MRI were performed on each patient.

Results

3D US can significantly diagnose accurately compared with clinical diagnosis (P value <0.001) with 100% sensitivity, 72.7% specificity, 86.4% positive predictive value (PPV), 100% negative predictive value (NPV), and 90% accuracy, area under the curve=0.864. MRI can significantly diagnose accurate compared with Clinical diagnosis (P value <0.001) with 97.4% sensitivity, 63.6% specificity, 82.2% PPV, 93.3% NPV, and 85% accuracy, area under the curve= 0.805.

Conclusions

MRI and 3D US were observed to be able to diagnose PAS prenatally with no difference between them and the clinical diagnosis (intraoperative findings). However, 3D US exhibited increased sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, and accuracy compared with MRI.
Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 as a predictive marker for iron overload in adult patients with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia major
Authors: Abozeid Samah F. , Elkholy Rasha A. , Elbedewy Tamer A. , Seliem Mahmoud F.
Published: September 2024

Background

The excessive iron accumulation has been identified as a contributing factor in the development of several issues in individuals with beta thalassemia, as those affecting the heart, liver, and endocrine glands. Soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFLT-1) belongs to the family of vascular endothelial growth factor receptors and acts as an inhibitor of signaling mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor and placental growth factor. The condition of iron excess has been associated with the potential to induce low-grade inflammation. The observed inflammatory condition is noteworthy due to the shown ability of sFLT-1 to stimulate a pro-inflammatory reaction. Consequently, this phenomenon could clarify the association between iron overload, inflammation, and elevated sFLT-1 levels in individuals with thalassemia.

Aim

The purpose of this work was to assess role of sFLT-1 as a predictive marker for iron overload in adults with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia major (BTM).

Patients and methods

Forty-five transfusion-dependent BTM patients were recruited and divided into 15 poor-chelated individuals with levels of serum ferritin more than 2500 ng/ml and 30 well-chelated individuals with levels of serum ferritin less than 2500 ng/ml. Serum sFLT-1 was measured using the enzyme-linked immunoassay technique.

Results

Serum sFLT-1 was substantially greater in the poor-chelated beta thalassemia compared with well chelated. sFLT-1 at a cutoff-value of 8.09 pg/ml had a high-diagnostic efficacy to differentiate poor chelated from the well-chelated group.

Conclusion

Elevated sFLT-1 levels may act as a biomarker for poor iron chelation in transfusion-dependent BTM patients.

Authors: Hagras Yomna A. , El Naggar Ahmed A. , Erfan Fatthe A. , Amer Mohamed A.R.
Published: September 2024

Background

Tonsillectomy is the most common throat surgery performed during childhood.

Aim

This study aimed to assess the results of using topical hyaluronic acid (HA) after a tonsillectomy.

Patients and methods

This prospective randomized controlled study was carried out on 70 patients aged 7–12 years. In each patient HA in a gel form was applied to one side of the tonsillar bed (application side), and the other side was considered as control side, first intraoperative, then at the third, fifth, and eighth postoperative days, pain score assessment was done by Arabic numerical pain rating scale and visual analog scale (VAS) at the third, fifth, eighth, and 14th postoperative days.

Results

Pain scores by both the Arabic numerical pain rating scale and VAS at the third, fifth, eighth, and 14th postoperative days were less on HA application sides rather than control sides in all patients (P<0.001). Pain reduction according to the pain rating scale on the application side on 14th postoperative day was 100% but on the control side was 87%. Pain reduction, according to VAS on the application side was 100%, and the control side was 91% (P<0.001). There was a significant reduction in pain scores in both sides starting from the third postoperative day, but pain scores at the application side were significantly lower than on the control side (P<0.001).

Conclusion

HA has a significant role in reducing pain after tonsillectomy operation and accelerates patient recovery after tonsillectomy operation.

The impact of securities financing arrangements on the allocation of capital
Authors: Maclachlan Fiona
Published: September 2024

Securities financing arrangements (SFA) allow investors to use short-term credit to leverage their investments in securities. Largely ignored by economists prior to the financial crisis of 2007–2008, research since that time has implicated SFA in creating financial instability. The creditors in the agreements have been compared to bank depositors who can create a liquidity crisis by withdrawing their funds. While not denying the instability problem, the focus of this paper is the effect of SFA on the allocation of capital in the real economy. I provide institutional context by tracing the evolution of SFA over the past four decades and relate the evolution to legislative changes initiated by the financial sector. Next, I outline a model to elucidate the essential features of a system of securitized finance that relies on SFA. With the aid of the model, I analyze the incentives inherent in the system and show how they can lead to a distortion in the allocation of capital. I conclude that SFA have served the interests of the financial community, but that they have not always delivered improvements to the wider economy.

Authors: Marra Fabrizio , Rosa Carlo , Silvestri Daniele , Bordoni Paola , Bulian Francesca , Florindo Fabio , Jicha Brian , Cara Fabrizio , Famiani Daniela , Salvini Riccardo
Published: September 2024

This work presents the preliminary results of the stratigraphic, paleomagnetic, micropaleontologic and geochronologic investigations carried out on the cores of three boreholes performed in the historic center of Rome within the Predict Project, aimed at evaluating the seismic response within the City through the 3D modeling of the subsoil. Moreover, we have integrated the investigations on the cores of four previously performed boreholes and we use this larger dataset to provide an objective element for the interpretation and validation of a large databank of paper stratigraphies of boreholes carried out for civil engineering purposes in the Roman area. The new data are presented within an exhaustive review of state of the art on the scientific knowledge on the geology of Rome, aimed at providing an updated background for the Quaternary scientists, seismologists, engineers and professional technicians operating in this region. Within this framework, we provide a detailed reconstruction of the chronostratigraphic setting in central Rome, highlighting a coherent picture within the glacio‐eustatic control on the sedimentary processes and providing the background geological input data for the creation of a geo‐database in a dynamic GIS environment, which is the subject of a forthcoming sister‐paper.

Livro Didático de Matemática como Mecanismo de In/Exclusão da Pessoa com Deficiência
Authors: Da Silva Mascarin Cíntia , Wilson dos Santos José
Published: September 2024

Este artigo destina-se às análises de ilustrações e orientações presentes no livro didático de Matemática no que tange à representação da pessoa com deficiência. Para tanto, tomamos como aporte as teorizações foucaultianas, particularmente sobre a construção artesanal da normalidade. Por meio de uma prática cartográfica, percorremos as linhas de uma coleção de livros didáticos de Matemática destinada ao Ensino Fundamental I. Os dados apontam para um modo de representação da pessoa com deficiência que sugerem mais um ajuste a normatizações impostas pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático do que para uma possível busca pela inclusão desta população. Mais que isso, evidenciamos um processo de in/exclusão, uma inclusão excludente, cuja sutilidade não consegue esconder o estereótipo da pessoa com deficiência como sujeito menor, invisibilizado, incapaz, distante da curva de normalidade instituída e, portanto, visto como anormal.
Aspectos da formação parcelada de professores leigos que ensinavam Matemática no interior do Mato Grosso do Sul nos anos 90
Authors: Guerchi Gonzales Kátia , Vicente Marafioti Garnica Antonio
Published: September 2024

O presente artigo tem como propósito explorar e analisar aspectos do contexto histórico e algumas implicações de uma estratégia educacional implementada no estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, na década de 1990, denominada Licenciaturas Parceladas de Ciências – Habilitação em Matemática. Para tanto, a metodologia da História Oral foi utilizada para a elaboração e a análise de fontes criadas a partir de entrevistas realizadas, entre nos anos de 2015 a 2017, com oito colaboradores – idealizadores, professores-formadores coordenadores e um ex-aluno. Foram percebidas, nos relatos, marcas de pressão cultural e política para que se reproduzisse de modo pleno, mas em tempo reduzido, em condições precárias, num formato emergencial e parcelado, o curso oferecido de modo regular na sede da Universidade. Em linhas gerais, mesmo apontando várias limitações e problemas nessa modalidade de formação - que incluem desde questões políticas, aspectos financeiros e o comprometimento do estado, até questões logísticas e organizacionais relativas ao curto tempo para a assimilação, sistematização e problematização de conteúdos -, nossos colaboradores avaliam a experiência como positiva.

Investigation of kevlar application in baglama soundboard and its effects on sound properties
Authors: Çiçekçioğlu Ümit , Alaskan Ali Maruf
Published: September 2024

One of the most important problems of the baglama is the need for sound power. In order to solve the same problem in the guitar, double tops were applied and this problem was largely solved. It is thought that the application will also be a solution for the baglama. In this application, the soundboard consists of two pieces and a material called kevlar, designed in the shape of a honeycomb, is mounted between two wooden parts. Kevlar is a mounted between the soundboard, which consists of the lower cover and the upper cover in the instruments, both reducing the wooden part and creating sound chambers. It has been observed in the analyses that this structure has a positive effect on the sound in the guitar. It is thought that the use of kevlar in the baglama soundboard with the same method will have a positive effect on sound power.

O PSEUDOKOORDINACIJI I PSEUDOZAVISNOSTI U SRPSKOJ SINTAKSI
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Kovačević Miloš
Published: September 2024

The analysis of papers on pseudocoordination and pseudo-dependence in Serbian showed that pseudocoordination occurs in historical syntax only, and that it represents a pre-hyp- otaxic stage which only incorporates subordinating syntactic structures, such as comple- mentation (supplementary), realized by formal syntactic coordination (using a coordinating instead of subordinating conjunction). Pseudocoordination is a widespread and scientifically well-established term in syntactic research of historical linguistics, as it exists in many Indo- European (and non-Indo-European) languages. Unlike the generally accepted international term pseudocoordination (which is not found in the form of pseudo-independence in Serbian), the term pseudo-dependence is used exclu- sively in Serbian (its international form pseudo-subordination has not been recorded in use). That term was introduced by Lj. Popović for three types of syntactically dependent sentences, to which D. Klikovac added two more types. The performed syntactic criterial analysis showed that there are no cases with pseudo-dependent sentences functioning as independent sentences, but they rather represent semantically specific subtypes of dependent sentences. The analysis of papers on pseudo-dependence showed that the „precept” on pseudo-de- pendence does not rest on any exact syntactic criteria and that the confirmation of the exist- ence of that category would necessarily „ignore” a large number of syntactically indisputable facts and criteria. Hence the term pseudo-dependence, unlike the term pseudocoordination, has no scientific justification.
UPOTREBA UPITNIH ZAMENICA U ZNAČENjU NEODREĐENIH U SAVREMENOM SRPSKOM JEZIKU

Published: September 2024

The paper aims at identifying the semantic conditions allowing the use of interrogative pronouns instead of indefinite ones without change in meaning, in the case of the Serbian language. To this end, first of all, a pattern of the meaning of indefiniteness characteristic of indefinite pronouns is outlined based on observations on the language of four contem- porary dramas. The paper uses a componential analysis borrowed from another author and adapted for the purposes of the present study, highlighting relevant differential features in the semantic invariant, as well as a syntactic-grammatical analysis of the context, dividing it into two domains. The variants of the meaning of indefiniteness thus identified are applied to the uses of interrogatives in the role of indefinite pronouns extracted from the electronic corpus of Serbian. The pattern of differential features enabling the use in question is highlighted

The paper provides an overview, primarily following the chronological principle, of the study of the relationship between functionally-semantically equivalent multi-lexical and single-lexical adverbial units, with a reference to related phenomena associated with other types of words. The study reveals that multi-lexical equivalents of adverbs have been a focal point in Serbian linguistics, or at the very least, have been observed in diverse contexts since Vukćs Pismenica. However, a criterion-based and systematic study of these relationships emerges significantly later.
ILLITERATE AUTHORS AND LITERATE FOOTBALLERS: CONCEPTUAL METAPHORS BASED ON THE SOURCE DOMAIN OF LITERACY IN CONTEMPORARY SERBIAN
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Serbia, Grujić Tatjana S.
Published: September 2024

This study applies the conceptual metaphor theory to examine the metaphorical extensions of meaning of literacy-related lexicon in contemporary Serbian. The cognitive semantic analysis used the online Corpus of Contemporary Serbian together with the Sketch Engine’s Serbian electronic subcorpus (srWaC). To identify metaphorically used lexemes belonging to the source domain of literacy, the MIP proce- dure was applied, the target domains identified and the underlying conceptual metaphors were formulated. The findings demonstrate that the speakers of contemporary Serbian utilize literacy to comprehend the target domains of familiarity with language, accomplished writing, familiarity with literature, general education, physical ability, basic acquaintance with (or expertise in) a field of knowledge, critical thinking, sophistication and life experience. Critical analysis of the identified metaphorical mappings suggests that, while presenting the complex and highly valued target domains as a basic skill, literacy-based conceptual metaphors shift the responsibility for incompetence in one of the listed areas from the entire society to its underprivileged members.

DISTINKTIVNA OBELEŽJA ROMANA JAKOBSONA U FONOLOŠKOM SISTEMU SRPSKOG JEZIKA
Authors:   University of Belgrade, Faculty of Philology, Serbia, Batas Ana S.
Published: September 2024

The paper discusses the distinctive features of Roman Jakobson (Jakobson, Hale 1952) and their application in the distinctive features matrices (DFM) in Serbian (and Serbo–Croatian) phonological studies. Distinctive features are unevenly represented – from the number of features, their order, to the way the features are ascribed to phonemes. At the end of the paper, a new phoneme matrix of the Serbian language is proposed, and the features themselves are redefined in accordance with the latest knowledge in the field of phonetics and phonology.
ODNOS PREFIKSACIJE, KOMPOZICIJE I KOMBINOVANE TVORBE U SRPSKOM JEZIKU
Authors:   University of Kragujevac, Faculty of Philology and Arts, Serbia, Đurović Sanja Ž.
Published: September 2024

The paper focuses on the analysis of some disputable examples from grammar books and relevant literature. The paper proposed how to establish the criteria in the analysis of word formation. The greatest number of the interconnectedness of word formation models can be found in the processes of prefixation, derivation, and compounding. The goal of the paper was to underscore controversial examples based on the selected examples and to provide a unique word-formation model justified by relevant criteria. One and the same example may result in two or even three word formation options with inconsistent analytical criteria. The selected examples confirm that the semantic criterion is predominant, but also that, by applying the crite- rion the last stage of word formation, unique and logical word formation models can be derived.

Published: September 2024

Information systems play a significant role in today's business world, enabling companies to achieve innovation and competitiveness advantages. By using information systems, companies can enhance their efficiency, effectiveness, and productivity. This has led many companies to start implementing human resource information systems. PT. Anugerah Pharmindo Lestari (APL), a company operating in the healthcare service distribution sector, has been using HRIS since 2020. However, no evaluation has been conducted, serving as the basis for the necessity of this research. The objective is to understand the influence of system quality, information quality, and user experience on user satisfaction through perceived usefulness. The research employs a qualitative approach, targeting the entire population of 73 HRIS admins at PT. APL, all of whom are included in the sample. Data is collected through interviews and questionnaire distribution. The research concludes that the system quality directly does not support perceived usefulness and user satisfaction. Information quality cannot form perceived usefulness but can shape user satisfaction. User experience can shape perceived usefulness and user satisfaction. However, perceived usefulness cannot moderate impact of system quality, information quality, and user experience to satisfaction.

Published: September 2024

The Family Adoption Program has been incorporated into the MBBS curriculum starting from the 2021-22 batch. This change in the curriculum aims to align it with competency-based medical education and ensure comprehensive coverage of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains of learning. The objective of the program is to enhance the accessibility of healthcare services to the rural and underserved people. This is necessary because the existing healthcare facilities in our country are primarily located in urban regions, while the rural areas have a higher concentration of population but limited health care facilities as well as poor access to healthcare. [1] A two-hour session was conducted under the banner of pre-conference CME of JHIAPSMCON 2024 on the topic- Family Adoption Program: A roller coaster ride. There were about 30 participants representing nine medical colleges of Jharkhand. The session was chaired by two faculty from an autonomous Government institution of the state. The agenda for discussion were the brief introduction on Family Adoption Program, its implementation, the role of health camp in FAP and ways in which students may be engaged in health camp and lastly the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and challenges of the program. The intention was to share the experience of FAP implementation at Manipal Tata Medical College and also exchange of ideas and experiences by all other institutions. The perspective of faculties from other institution were also discussed. [2] There were four resource person for the session which continued one after the other with a brief discussion with the participants at the end of each sub-session.

Contextualising Australia’s Role in UN Peacekeeping Operations: A Comprehensive Analysis from 1947 to Present
Authors: Madubuko Christian C.
Published: September 2024

Purpose: This scholarly article rigorously analyses Australia’s engagement in United Nations (UN) peacekeeping operations from 1947 to the present, focusing on the nation's substantial contributions, significant policy transitions, and the broader implications for international relations and global governance frameworks.
Materials and Methods: Utilizing a qualitative methodological approach, this study systematically reviews over sixty peacekeeping missions involving Australia, drawing upon a diverse array of primary and secondary sources, including governmental reports, academic journals, and UN documentation. The timeframe spans critical historical moments, beginning with Australia’s initial involvement in international peacekeeping initiatives in the late 1940s and evolving through distinct geopolitical eras, including the Cold War, post-Cold War period, and contemporary conflicts (Baldwin et al., 2022; McDonald, 2023). The analysis is grounded in a constructivist framework intertwined with realism, allowing for a nuanced understanding of how Australia’s peacekeeping roles reflect and reinforce the interplay of national interests and international obligations. This theoretical lens facilitates an exploration of the changing nature of global conflicts, operational mandates, and evolving international norms (Kirton, 2023).
Findings: The research reveals that Australia’s peacekeeping contributions have evolved significantly, marked by key policy shifts from unilateralism to multilateralism within the UN paradigm. The country’s notable involvements in critical missions, such as those in East Timor and the Solomon Islands, exemplify its commitment to regional stability while also reflecting strategic partnerships with key allies (Cousens & Kumar, 2022). Furthermore, these contributions highlight Australia’s capacity to respond to complex emergencies and humanitarian crises effectively, reinforcing its role as a key player in regional peace and security.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: This examination elucidates the implications of Australia’s peacekeeping operations for its foreign policy trajectory and international standing. As the nation grapples with contemporary security challenges - including humanitarian crises, intrastate conflict, and post-colonial nation-building - the analysis reveals that Australia’s peacekeeping engagements align with broader international relations trends. Notably, there is an increasing emphasis on multilateralism, the principle of state sovereignty, and collaborative security efforts among nations (Hawkins, 2023).
The Bee Fertilizes the Flower She Robs: Analysing the Diplomatic Games of Carrot, Soft Power and National Interests for Access to Natural Resources in Papua New Guinea

Purpose: This paper conducts a nuanced exploration of Papua New Guinea’s (PNG) intricate diplomatic landscape through the metaphor "The Bee Fertilizes the Flower She Robs." This conceptual framework elucidates the complex interplay between soft power, national interests, and resource access among global powers - namely Australia, China, and the United States - in the strategically significant Asia-Pacific region. By situating PNG within this geopolitical contest, this study aims to deepen understanding of how these states navigate power dynamics, particularly regarding PNG's abundant natural resources.
Materials and Method: Employing a qualitative methodological approach, this research employs case analysis as its primary investigative tool. Selected case studies critically examine the diplomatic strategies executed by Australia, China, and the United States in PNG, focusing on soft power mechanisms such as cultural diplomacy, development assistance, and foreign direct investment. The analysis is grounded in a comprehensive review of primary and secondary sources, including diplomatic documents and investment reports, to capture the multifaceted nature of international relations in PNG.
Findings: The findings reveal a paradox: while foreign investment catalyses economic development in PNG, it simultaneously engenders dependencies that can jeopardize sovereignty. The divergent strategies of Australia, China, and the United States manifest as a blend of cooperation and competition, accompanied by significant ethical considerations regarding environmental sustainability and community displacement.
Implications to Theory, Practice and Policy: This study advances the discourse surrounding soft power, urging a re-evaluation of its role as both an instrument of influence and a potential source of dependency. Policymakers in PNG are encouraged to establish regulatory frameworks that ensure transparency, prioritize local agency, and promote sustainability, thereby navigating complex international engagements while safeguarding their sovereign interests.

Published: September 2024

Pokot Central Sub County in West Pokot County, Kenya, is the most drought-stricken and food-insecure region as of 2022. The region faces severe threats to agriculture and food accessibility, exacerbated by delayed, reactive drought response strategies and limited resources. This study evaluated the effectiveness of early warning systems in enhancing food security during drought periods. The study used vulnerability and resilience and complex adaptive systems theories to explore these interrelationships. A mixed-method approach with a convergent parallel design was adopted, targeting 22,041 households in Pokot Central. A sample of 396 households was selected through stratified random sampling and 20 key informants were chosen using purposive sampling. Descriptive analysis outlined drought preparedness and food security, while thematic and content analysis were used for qualitative data. Regression and correlation analysis determined relationships between early warning systems and food security. Key findings revealed a positive association between early warning awareness and food security (r=0.155, p=0.000). Recommendations include enhancing drought risk management and improving early warning dissemination. An integrated approach involving government agencies, NGOs and local communities is crucial for effective drought response.

Background. The Moskva River is a prime example of a natural urban watercourse subjected to strong and varied anthropogenic pressure. For many years, this river has been characterized by increased content of heavy metals. The exceedance of the maximum allowable concentrations of harmful substances in the waters of water bodies used for fishery can result in disruption of the normal functioning of aquatic ecosystems. Relevance. The summarized data collected over the course of monitoring surveys of the Moskva River for three years will be indicative of the relative contribution of natural and anthropogenic sources into its pollution. The aim of this work is to identify the dynamics of spatial and temporal distribution of heavy metals in the Moskva River water and its relation to hydrological seasons, as well as to assess the anthropogenic pressure exerted by the city of Moscow on the river. Methods. Water samples were collected in 2021-2023 during four hydrological seasons. Identification of heavy metals in the collected samples has been carried out using the atomic absorption method. Results. The analysis of the content of dissolved heavy metals (iron, cadmium, cobalt, manganese, copper, nickel, lead, and chrome) in the Moskva River water in various seasons of 2021-2023 has been conducted, and the same was done for zinc in 2023. The dynamics of the spatial and temporal distribution of these heavy metals has been identified, as well as its dependence on the hydrological phases. The influence of the urban infrastructure on the composition of the Moskva River water has been elucidated. Within the investigated area, the exceedance of the values prescribed by the water quality standards for the water bodies used for fishery (MACfish) has been recorded. Conclusion. The waters of the Moskva River have been characterized as polluted, mainly with iron, manganese, copper, and zinc. For lead, chrome, cobalt, nickel, and cadmium, no exceedance of the MACfish has been recorded. It has been found that the majority of the investigated elements were exceeding the values prescribed by the established standards in the spring season, but their concentrations decreased in summer.
Konstituzio Auzitegiaren 10/2024 Epaiaren inguruko iruzkina: lege-dekretuak eta aurrekarien balizko beharrezkotasuna Ius in officium printzipioaren egikaritza

Published: September 2024

El presente comentario jurisprudencial trata sobre la Sentencia 10/2024 del Tribunal Constitucional. El debate jurídico que da pie a la sentencia surgió a raíz de la convalidación del Real Decreto-ley 36/2020, pues en opinión de una diputada del Grupo Popular, el Gobierno no remitió la debida información al Congreso en relación con el real decreto ley. El Tribunal Constitucional valora en qué medida pudo haber afectado esta falta de información al ius in officium de los parlamentarios y parlamentarias; más concretamente, se examina si la falta de informes técnicos, que habitualmente suelen acompañar a los decretos leyes, puede acarrear una vulneración del ius in officium. Cabe destacar que el ius in officium puede estar en riesgo en dos momentos clave: a la hora de convalidar el decreto-ley por una parte y, por otra, al tramitar el decreto como un proyecto de ley. Ante esta situación, existe un debate notable entre lo que estrictamente exige la ley y lo que aconsejan los principios parlamentarios. El Tribunal Constitucional aboga por una solución positivista, pero sin ignorar del todo los principios. Finalmente, se incluye una breve reflexión sobre el efecto que esta sentencia ha podido tener en el equilibrio de poderes entre el legislativo y el ejecutivo.
