BRINGING AND AMENDING PRIVATE CHARGES
Authors:   Lecturer of the Department of Criminal Procedure and Criminalistics of the Law Institute, Budylin Nikolay V.
Published: August 2024

The procedure for bringing of private charges by an aggrieved before a justice of the peace is characterized by principles of dispositivity, adversariality, directness and the prohibition on a change for the worse. An aggrieved has all rights to bring a private charge, may use the subject thereof and accusatory evidence. A justice of the peace has to remain impartial, ensure legality of private prosecutor's actions and the right of the accused to defense. The applicable law and the legal standards developed in practice fail to ensure a fair procedure for bringing private charges, result in violation of rights of the aggrieved applicant and the person being the subject of private criminal prosecution. The article suggests some changes of legal regulation of bringing private charges and actions of a justice of the peace in this procedure. The essence of such changes is, first and foremost, an increase in procedural terms for a justice of the peace to summon the applicant for face-to-face communication and determination of the subject of private charges that gets a judicial form upon issue of a ruling by a justice of the peace on acceptance of the complaint for hearing. Rendering assistance to a private prosecutor and the accused by a justice of the peace in obtaining evidence plays an important role. This aspect is also subject to more detailed legal regulation. The article brings forward some other proposals for improvement of the procedure for bringing private charges as a means of criminal procedure self-protection of a person against crimes in view of the principle of the prohibition on a change for the worse.

La Corte Constitucional de Colombia y el reconocimiento legal de la identidad de género: redes de movilización legal e impacto judicial
Authors: Jaramillo Juliana
Published: August 2024

Aunque la Corte Constitucional de Colombia ha promulgado una amplia serie de sentencias sobre los derechos de la población LGBTQ, hasta ahora muy pocas investigaciones se han interesado en evaluar el impacto de estos fallos más allá de sus implicaciones para el reconocimiento formal de derechos. Este artículo analiza el impacto de una de estas decisiones, la sentencia T-063 de 2015, la cual reconoció el derecho de las personas trans a cambiar el componente sexo en sus documentos de identificación sin tener que recurrir a un proceso de jurisdicción voluntaria. Con base en entrevistas y la revisión de fuentes documentales, este trabajo muestra que la movilización que se desencadenó a favor de este litigio, tanto durante el proceso de revisión judicial como después de la promulgación del fallo, influyó en los efectos positivos que tuvo esta sentencia en los campos legal, político y social. Argumento que la existencia de mecanismos participativos –en particular de los escritos de intervención– y la composición multisectorial de la red de actores que participó en la movilización son dos factores cruciales para entender el impacto positivo de la sentencia T-063/15 sobre el reconocimiento legal de la identidad de género.
Entre la verdad y la mentira: la simulación como un instrumento de abuso económico de las mujeres casadas en Colombia
Authors: Céspedes-Báez Lina M. , Cardozo-Roa Clara Carolina , Adans Camargo Karen Alejandra
Published: August 2024

Este artículo aborda el estudio del abuso económico en el contexto de las parejas heterosexuales como una forma de violencia en contra de las mujeres. En particular, analiza la manera en que el contrato simulado ha sido utilizado como una herramienta para este fin. Así, esta investigación contribuye a la determinación de la intersección entre derecho privado de contratos y violencia de género. Su metodología se basa en el análisis de jurisprudencia pertinente de la Corte Suprema de Justicia colombiana. Este examen permite concluir que el negocio simulado puede ser una de tantas estrategias para abusar de los derechos patrimoniales de las mujeres. En este sentido, la maniobra simulatoria ha sido un expediente para mantener vigente de facto la dimensión patrimonial de la potestad marital que fuera derogada hace casi un siglo en el país.
The Effectiveness of Total Intravenous Anesthesia (TIVA) in Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS)
Authors: Busalacchi Anna
Published: August 2024

A 58-year-old female presented for Functional Endoscopic Sinus Surgery (FESS) to treat chronic rhinosinusitis. FESS is the mainstay treatment currently for chronic rhinosinusitis, with or without nasal polyps. Goals for FESS include optimal visualization of anatomical structures with minimal bleeding in the surgical field.1 The anesthetic technique chosen, either total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA) or inhalational anesthesia (IA), has shown to affect the visibility of the sinonasal mucosa, dictating the outcome of intraoperative blood loss. The difference between these agents are how they produce vasodilation in the body, particularly in the nasal mucosa.2,7,8 Current evidence supports TIVA as the superior anesthetic technique in FESS, as it has shown to successfully reduce intraoperative blood loss with superior surgical visibility.
EFFECTIVENESS OF INTRAVENOUS ACETAMINOPHEN ADMINISTRATION IN THE POSTOPERATIVE PAIN MANAGEMENT OF THE CESAREAN SECTION PATIENT
Authors: Pickering-Luttrell, MS, CRNA Hazel Marie , Gayden, MS, CRNA Johnny , Pellegrini, PhD, DNP, CRNA Joseph
Published: August 2024

Intravenous (IV) acetaminophen has been used internationally as part of a multimodal approach to pain management for general surgeries and some post cesarean sections.  In the case of post cesarean pain management, there is little evidence to support its use. The purpose of this evidenced-based literature review is to determine whether IV acetaminophen reduces opioid requirements for elective cesarean sections with neuraxial anesthesia. Google Scholar, CINAHL, PubMed, Cochrane, and Medline were searched. Articles addressing IV acetaminophen and cesarean section with neuraxial anesthesia were included. Outcome measurements were specific for postoperative opioid requirements, pain control satisfaction and visual analog scores. The literature review resulted in three randomized controlled trials with a total of 225 patients, of which 112 received IV acetaminophen. Two studies used fentanyl, and one used morphine. All articles found IV acetaminophen improved outcomes; three articles suggested that IV acetaminophen in combination with a nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drug was more effective. Analysis of the evidence revealed IV acetaminophen is a valuable component of multimodal therapy in the reduction of post cesarean opioid requirements. Based on the current body of evidence, we can reasonably recommend IV acetaminophen for elective cesarean section patients using neuraxial anesthesia.
Comparison of Quadratus Lumborum Block and Transversus Abdominis Plane Block for Postoperative Pain Management
Authors: Whiteley Kristina Alexis
Published: August 2024

Enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocols have been developed to promote rapid recovery of patients who undergo certain major surgeries, throughout the perioperative continuum, with a variety of interventions. Many protocols for open abdominal cases suggest preoperative epidural, wound catheter, or transversus abdominis plane (TAP) block placement for postoperative pain management.1 This case study presents a middle-aged woman who underwent a pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and received an alternate postoperative fascial plane block, a quadratus lumborum (QL) block, rather than the currently recommended TAP block, wound infiltration, or neuraxial anesthesia.  Considering established ERAS protocols, the purpose of this case study is to examine the use of alternative forms of regional anesthesia for open abdominal cases, specifically the quadratus lumborum (QL) block, and compare it to the currently recommended TAP block.
Based on quality evidence regarding the benefits of the QL block, expanding ERAS protocols to regional anesthesia beyond wound infiltration and TAP blocks has the potential to produce increased pain management postoperatively, aiding in enhanced recovery and improved outcomes. Future, high-quality research should be initiated spanning a larger, more generalized population, including ASA III and IV, with BMIs not limited to 30 kg/m2, to confirm current study’s findings.  Further evaluation of the local anesthetic’s diffusion via the TLF and the adjacent paravertebral space should be studied, due to the inquiries of the QL block’s definite mechanism of action that remain.  Regarding the variation in fascial layers and dermatomes covered based on the type of QL block, further studies examining QL block injection sites should be considered.
Polypeptide Antibiotic Potentiation of Neuromuscular Blocking Agent Postoperatively: A Case Report
Authors: Reeve, DNP, CRNA Jenna
Published: August 2024

During multiple surgical procedures, neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBAs) are administered as part of a general anesthetic to provide muscle relaxation. Examples of commonly administered NMBAs are succinylcholine, rocuronium, vecuronium, and cisatracurium. Administration of other medications during the surgical procedure can cause unexpected interactions, such as affecting the action of the NMBAs. The polypeptide class of antibiotics has been identified as one group of antibiotics that can potentiate NMBAs when administered during the perioperative period. Although the incidence of antibiotic-induced neuromuscular blockade is rare, it is important to be aware of this medication interaction and to know how to manage this potential complication. This report presents one such case with a review of the literature.

Authors: Nyirakamana Colette , van den Boogaard Vanessa , Ahmed Warsame
Published: August 2024

Despite significant economic growth, particularly in the construction sector, Somaliland faces substantial public infrastructure deficits, which hinder further economic progress and increase business costs. Critical infrastructure needs and the low base of essential public goods provision highlight the need for the government to establish stronger fiscal foundations, particularly at the local level in urban areas. While government revenue collection is low, property and land taxes represent a significant opportunity to raise local government revenue and contribute to sustainable urban development. This report examines land and property tax systems in Somaliland’s urban municipalities and focuses on the key challenges and reform opportunities to enhance revenue generation. Drawing on reform experiences from other sub-Saharan African cities, the analysis highlights strategies for effective property and land taxation in Somaliland. Emphasising the need for strong political commitment to achieve these reforms, it suggests a way forward for the implementation of progressive tax reform to finance critical urban development and set the foundations for the ambitions of the nation.
Le commerce des bois aux Etats-Unis et les possibilités d'importation des bois tropicaux
Authors: Rédacteur de la revue Bois et Forêts des Tropiques
Published: August 2024

Le rapport suivant a été établi par la "Trade Unit" rattachée à la mission. Les possibilités d'importation de bois tropicaux aux Etats-Unis peuvent être envisagées de deux points de vue, à savoir : la satisfaction de besoins pour lesquels les bois locaux ne conviennent pas et la satisfaction de besoins complémentaires pour lesquels les approvisionnements locaux ne sont pas disponibles en quantités suffisantes.
Dans la première catégorie, seules les variétés telles que l'acajou et, dans une moindre mesure, le limbo et l'avodire, sont très demandées sur le marché de l'ameublement. Il semble qu'il y ait également des perspectives pour les bois résistants au teredo dans le sud-est des Etats-Unis.
La deuxième catégorie offre peu de possibilités car l'Amérique n'est pas un pays où le bois est rare. Si l'on veut que le bois puisse être commercialisé à ces fins, les exportateurs tropicaux doivent s'assurer que les spécifications sont précises, que l'approvisionnement est régulier et que les prix sont raisonnables.

A mixed methods study into the effectiveness of sensory rooms in reducing agitation levels in a psychiatric intensive care unit
Authors: Haig Stephanie , Wagstaf Christopher
Published: August 2024

Background:Reducing incidences of violence, and the use of restrictive interventions within psychiatric intensive care units (PICUs), is a priority nationally. One method for reducing violence and aggression from escalating in PICUs is sensory rooms. This study aimed to explore
the effectiveness of sensory rooms as an alternative strategy to manage agitation levels in a PICU and understand the patient and staff experiences of using sensory rooms as an alternative intervention to standard approaches for agitation reduction. Method:A mixed methods approach collected
data over six months using an observational rating scale pre and post-sensory room, and conducting nine semi-structured interviews with patients and staff. Results:71 patient contacts recorded, there was a statistically significant difference in pre and post-sensory room agitation ratings
(p<0.001), with 66% (n = 47) experiencing a reduction in agitation rating post-usage. The sensory room was used as both a proactive and reactive strategy to manage agitation. Five themes emerged from the interviews: the sensory room supports emotional regulation, improves
the patient's experience, develops therapeutic relationships, and offers an alternative agitation management strategy; however, it can be an underused resource due to access limitations. Conclusion:Staff and patients had positive experiences using a sensory room to manage agitation;
it offers a safe space away from the busy ward environment. Several different factors impact staff using the intervention. Findings provide considerations for services when developing sensory rooms in PICUs, to ensure they are established as a reliable alternative for the management of agitation.

Risk-Reducing Surgeries in Gynecological Cancers: A Review of the Current State
Authors: Temiz Bilal Esat , Akgör Utku
Published: August 2024

Risk-reducing surgery has an important role to play in the prevention of gynaecological cancers, particularly in women who are at high risk of these cancers. Risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (rrBSO) has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of ovarian and fallopian tube cancers and all-cause mortality in women with BRCA1/2 mutations. Combined prophylactic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy is recommended for patients with Lynch syndrome and has been shown to reduce the risk of endometrial and ovarian cancer. Although long-term data are needed, opportunistic salpingectomy is considered to be an effective method of reducing the risk of epithelial ovarian cancer. Based on genetic mutations and individual risk factors, risk-reducing surgery for gynaecological cancers is an important component of personalised treatment plans. The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the different surgical strategies associated with BRCA1/2 mutations, Lynch syndrome and other hereditary conditions. It evaluates the role and potential benefits of surgical interventions such as risk-reducing bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (rrBSO), prophylactic hysterectomy and opportunistic salpingectomy in clinical practice, and assesses their efficacy and feasibility.
Effect of different yeast-derived products on a red wine polyphenolic composition: influence of the wine age
Authors: Mekoue Nguela Julie , Sieczkowski Nathalie , Vernhet Aude
Published: August 2024

The name “yeast-derived products” (YDPs) refers to different preparations obtained from yeast cells through various processes. These YDPs have different characteristics and applications in oenology, one being the improvement of the sensory properties of wines. This work aimed to identify the impact of YDPs obtained from different yeast strains and through different downstream inactivation processes on polyphenols in a red wine at different aging times. At an oenological dosage of 40 mg/L in a young wine, the addition of YDPs resulted in a variable decrease in total polyphenol index (TPI) (2 to 9 % depending on the YDPs) and a significant decrease in the precipitation of tannins (15 to 50 %) and high molecular weight (HMW) pigments (19 to 85 %) were obtained in the BSA assay, thus demonstrating the involvement of tannins and HMW pigments in interactions with the studied yeast-derived products. Pigment involvement led to a change in colour indices (L*a*b* and colour intensity), but in most cases this change was not visible to the human eye at the oenological dosage tested (40 mg/L). Experiments conducted on both the young wine and the same wine aged for three months using the same yeast-derived products, dosages and aging conditions revealed the influence of the chemical evolution of polyphenols on their interactions with YDPs. The significant variation observed in this study highlights the critical role of yeast selection and the yeast fragmentation downstream process on YDP efficiency. The high-pressure homogenisation (HPH) yeast fractions were shown to be more efficient than the corresponding whole yeast cells. Increasing the contact surface area between yeast cell constituents and wine matrix enabled by the HPH process may be a key strategy for enhancing the effectiveness of yeast derivatives in red wines, and in aged wines in particular, in which the phenolic compounds underwent changes and exhibited less interaction with the studied yeast-derived products. This research has contributed to increasing our understanding of and the potential for apply these processing aids in oenology.

Authors: Sarkar Arup , Thakur Biswajit , Gupta Anirban
Published: August 2024

The present study assesses the construction dust pollution scenario and associated health risks for construction sites in the Kolkata metropolis. The generated PM levels well exceeded the daily and annual National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of India (214.78-12 202.28 and 424.64-20 403.81%, respectively for PM10 and 182.20-5847.92 and 323.29-8821.88%, respectively for PM2.5). Mortality risks associated with long-term exposure to such high PM levels are estimated for construction workers. The stochastic nature of the influencing variables while calculating health risks is handled through the Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS). The mortality risks for different causes due to elevated PM10 exposure (RR_Expos_PM10) ranged between 1.25 (±1.20) for the risk of stroke for earthwork workers to 75.89 (±46.87) for the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for brick wall-cutting workers. The mortality risks for PM2.5 exposure (RR_Expos_PM2.5) ranged between 1.96 (±0.40) for the risk of non-malignant respiratory diseases for earthwork workers to 19.04 (±8.82) for the risk of acute lower respiratory infections (ALRI) for brick wall-cutting workers. A sensitivity analysis was also carried out, which showed that the mortality risk associated with PM10 and PM2.5 exposure is most sensitive to the PM10 concentration during construction activities and pooled relative risk for PM2.5. The mortality risk of exposed construction workers was alarmingly higher (14.68-3548.56% higher for PM10 and 61.60-1269.78% higher for PM2.5) than the average Kolkata City population. Policy-level and site-level interventions are necessary to control and mitigate the alarming scenario.

Authors: Joshi Himanshu , Joshi Bhavya
Published: August 2024

The exogenous shock of the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted the equity market worldwide; however, the extent of its impact on the sectoral returns varied. Sectors like aviation, hospitality, and retail were badly affected as a result of the imposed lockdowns. Contrarily, the technology, e-commerce, pharmaceutical, and biotech sectors thrived for the same reasons. The present study evaluates the impact of the disruption of COVID-19 on firms from diverse sectors and examines the moderating effect of firms’ financial characteristics on sectoral performance. The study establishes a causal relationship between the firm’s cumulative abnormal returns generated during the various phases of the pandemic and their sectoral and financial characteristics using data for 317 firms listed on the National Stock Exchange of India. The results indicate that financial characteristics such as cash holdings, dividends, asset tangibility, and analyst coverage moderate the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on sectoral performance. Findings provide evidence in support of the role of information asymmetry during economic disruptions.

Stock price is one indicator of successful management of the company. The factors which effects the movement of price of a stock are internal factors and also external factors. The internal factors are commonly can be known as fundamentals, these internal factors are related to financial reports such as ROE, EPS, and PER. This study was conducted on purpose to help determining whether there is found such a significant influence between ROE, EPS, and PER toward prices of share. The approach method applied in this research is quantitative approach. The results for ROE show a value of significance of 0.000 α = 0.05, which can be claimed that there I found such a significant influence of ROE and stock prices. EPS shows a value of significance of 0.000 α = 0.05, it can be seen that there is a significant effect of EPS and stock prices. PER shows a significance value of 0.429 α = 0.05, it can be known that there is no found any effect of PER and stock prices. According to the F test result, it can be known that ROE, EPS, and also PER simultaneously influence the stock prices.
Non-Binary Narration
Authors: Henderson Alex
Published: August 2024

Narratologist Susan S. Lanser argues ‘that questions of representation, and especially of queer representation, are as much questions of form as of content’ (2015, p. 24). As marginalised identities, such as those under the LGBTQIA+ umbrella, are increasingly represented in fiction for young audiences, the creative methods authors use to construct these representations warrant investigation. In this article, I examine how non-binary gender identity is depicted in a corpus of contemporary young adult (YA) novels, and how the authors of these texts use narrative voice and point of view (POV) to construct, confirm, and validate their characters’ non-binary identifications. First, I discuss the YA staple of first-person perspective and how this narration technique overlaps with Talia Bettcher’s concept of ‘first-person authority’ (2009). Second, I turn to the less-common close third-person narration, and what visible pronouns and names may offer to a narrative of gender affirmation. Third, and finally, I discuss the underexplored realm of omniscient third-person narration and its potential to affirm queer gender by using the mythic ‘voice of god’ (Fludernik 2009). These different voice techniques create different narrative effects and offer their own risks and benefits, making narration a valuable site for exploring the varied, evolving ways that queer gender identity is constructed in the storyworlds of contemporary YA.

Cervical cancer (CC) represents a substantial public health burden, requiring the development of inventive therapeutic approaches. This study explored the functional relationship between the p63 isoform (ΔNp63) and miR-141-3p in modulating migration, invasion, and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT) in two CC cell lines, CaSki, which are human cervical squamous carcinoma cells, and HeLa, which are human cervical adenocarcinoma cells. Our findings revealed dual functions of the ΔNp63-miR-141-3p-YAP1 axis, demonstrating its prometastatic role in HeLa cells through the upregulation of YAP1 and the promotion of proliferation, migration, invasion, and EMT. Conversely, the same axis demonstrated an antimetastatic function in CaSki cells by downregulating YAP1. Notably, YAP1 expression is significantly greater in ADC than in SCC, highlighting its contribution to the aggressive nature of ADC. These data indicate that targeting the ΔNp63-miR-141-3p-YAP1 axis can offer subtype-specific therapeutic options for managing CC.
