Authors: François S , Mana F , Ntounda R , Lamy V , Cadranel S , Bontems P , Miendje Deyi V , Macken E , Kindt S
Published: September 2024

Background: Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection predisposes to malignant and non-malignant diseases warranting eradication. In Belgium, resistance rates for clarithromycin demonstrate regional variations making the use of standard triple therapy (STT) borderline acceptable. According to a recent Belgian survey, STT and bismuth-based quadruple therapy (BQT), are equally frequent prescribed as first line treatment for treatment naïve Hp positive patients. This study aims to evaluate the eradication rates (ER) of BQT versus STT.

Methods: Multicentre, non-blinded randomized, prospective study comparing ER in treatment-naïve Hp positive patients. ER were compared by intention to treat (ITT) and per protocol (PP) analysis.

Results: Overall 250 patients were included (STT 126, BQT 124). Seventeen patients were lost to follow-up (6,8%). No significant difference in ER between BQT and STT was observed in ITT (73% vs 68%, p= 0,54) neither in PP analysis (81% vs 75%, p= 0,33). Side effects and endoscopic findings were comparable between groups. Post-hoc analysis showed no differences according to gender or site allocation.

Conclusion: The numerical advantage of BQT did not translate in a significant improvement of ER when compared with STT. These results question the cost-effectiveness of BQT, while confirming the suboptimal eradication rates on STT. A nationwide monitoring of resistance patterns, maximal investments in treatment adherence as well as a detailed follow-up of the changing treatment landscape are mandatory to continuously optimise Hp ER in Belgium.
How to better improve the treatment and outcomes of HCV in psychiatric patients: review of a Belgian monocentric psychiatric center
Authors: Chabert S , Saloppe X , Delaunoit B , Dupont G , Yengue P
Published: September 2024

Introduction: Hepatitis C (HCV) is one of the major worldwide infections with 58 million infected persons in the world. HCV can lead to chronic liver disease, cirrhosis, and cancer. These past few years, clinical progress allowed a curative rate of 95% of the patients. There are still populations in which, treating the disease is more difficult, especially psychiatric patients, when substance abuse, psychiatric disorders are important risks factors for getting HCV. With the WHO organization establishing goals for clinical management and treatment of HCV, it is important to target where the difficulties lie in getting a better treatment program for those populations.

Aim: Try to highlight the challenges of treating a certain group of patients compare to the general population.

Method: This is a cross sectional monocentric study. 79 patients from a mental facility were included between 2012 and 2022. Inclusion criteria were: >18 years old, an active viral HCV infection.

Results: 34.7% of patients with a positive PCR were treated with a significant difference between the closed psychiatric unit and the open one (66.5 vs 22.6%, p<.05). There was an 82.4% eradication rate (Sustained Viral Response at 3 months). There were significantly more schizophrenic disorders in the closed unit and significantly more alcohol abuse in the open one.

Conclusion: Treatment of HCV in a psychiatric population is feasible with eradication rate equivalent at those in the general population. Patients with more severe mental illness are better treated in the configuration of a closed psychiatric unit.

Published: September 2024

Background: Previous history of COVID-19 infection is a natural booster of the vaccine response in the general population. The response to COVID-19 vaccines is lessened in Inflammatory Bowel Disease patients on selected class of immunosuppressive treatments.

Aims: The study was to assess anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific IgG antibody response in Inflammatory Bowel Disease patients with a history of COVID-19 infection.

Patients and methods: This single-center prospective study involved 504 Inflammatory Bowel Disease patients. Demographic data and clinical data were gathered through questionnaires and patient charts. Anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific and antinucleocapsid antibody levels were measured at T1, T2 (after the 2-dose series), and T3 or T4 (booster vaccine).

Results: This study included 504 Inflammatory Bowel Disease patients, and 234 completed one year follow-up with blood tests. Positive anti-nucleocapsid serology or history of COVID-19 infection was significantly associated with increased median anti- SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific IgG titers after the 2-dose series (1930 BAU/mL vs. 521 BAU/mL p < 0.0001) and the booster vaccine (4390 BAU/mL vs. 2160 BAU/mL, p = 0.0156). Multivariate analysis showed that higher anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific IgG levels were independently associated with anti-nucleocapsid antibodies at T2 (OR=2.23, p < 0.0001) and T3 (OR=1.72, p = 0.00011). Immunosuppressive treatments did not impact the antibody response or levels in patients with a history of COVID-19 infection or positive anti-nucleocapsid serology.

Conclusions: In Inflammatory Bowel Disease, prior COVID-19 infection or positive anti-nucleocapsid serology leads to increased anti-SARS-CoV-2 spike-specific IgG levels after vaccination, regardless of immunosuppressive treatments. This emphasizes the significance of accounting for previous infection in vaccination approaches.

Published: September 2024

O face longa é uma alteração com envolvimento esquelético que geralmente tem um prognóstico estético desfavorável. Assim, o tratamento ortodôntico nesses pacientes com um padrão de crescimento facial vertical acentuado é bastante desafiador, pois os resultados esperados são mais difíceis de alcançar. este trabalho tem por objetivo investigar através de uma revisão integrativa da literatura, prescrições de braquetes ideais para incisivos em pacientes face longa. Trata-se de uma revisão bibliográfica integrativa da literatura com abordagem qualitativa, com busca de artigos nas bases LILACS, SSCIELO, PUBMED, utilizando os descritores “Braquetes”, “Tratamento Ortodôntico”, “Incisivos” e “Dolicofacial”, utilizando os operadores booleano AND e OR. Foram incluídos artigos que abordassem diretamente a temática do posicionamento de incisivos e excluídos estudos de revisão narrativa, bem como, resumos em anais e editoriais. Foram selecionados 13 estudos que evidenciaram que utilizar braquetes com angulação reduzida para os caninos e incisivos superiores, além de angulação zerada para os pré-molares inferiores. A inclinação padrão deve ser mantida para os incisivos, uma vez que sua posição na base óssea geralmente não sofre grandes alterações quando avaliada em relação ao plano oclusal. Assim, o face longa deve ser visto de acordo com suas especificidades, principalmente relacionado a sua posição de incisivos e que existem mecânicas disponíveis para facilitar a vida do ortodontista, dentre elas a prescrição Capelozza protrusiva minus que já vem com uma mecânica específica para este tipo de padrão.
TRAUMA ABDOMINAL E LESÕES HEPÁTICAS: TRATAMENTO CIRÚRGICO E NÃO CIRÚRGICO
Authors: Jaegge Nicole Almeida Ramos , Oliveira Pedro Zambelli Mesquita de , Garcia Samuel Matheus Rodrigues , Meirelles João Pedro Silva Costa , Reis Guilherme Marques
Published: September 2024

Introdução: O manejo de lesões hepáticas decorrentes de trauma abdominal representou um dos maiores desafios na medicina de urgência, dado o risco elevado de hemorragia e a complexidade das intervenções necessárias para estabilizar o paciente. A escolha entre tratamento cirúrgico e não cirúrgico dependia de diversos fatores, como a gravidade da lesão, a estabilidade hemodinâmica do paciente e as condições clínicas associadas. Ao longo dos últimos anos, os avanços na medicina e a crescente adoção de abordagens multidisciplinares possibilitaram uma melhor compreensão das estratégias mais eficazes para cada caso, destacando-se a importância da personalização do tratamento. O suporte psicológico e o respeito pelos valores do paciente também emergiram como aspectos críticos, influenciando diretamente os resultados clínicos e a recuperação. Objetivo: Esta revisão sistemática teve como objetivo analisar e sintetizar as evidências científicas disponíveis sobre as melhores práticas no tratamento de lesões hepáticas traumáticas, focando na comparação entre intervenções cirúrgicas e não cirúrgicas, bem como na avaliação dos impactos de uma abordagem multidisciplinar no desfecho dos pacientes. Metodologia: A metodologia seguiu o checklist PRISMA e utilizou as bases de dados PubMed, Scielo e Web of Science para a seleção de artigos publicados nos últimos 10 anos. Os descritores empregados incluíram "trauma abdominal," "lesões hepáticas," "tratamento cirúrgico," "tratamento não cirúrgico," e "abordagem multidisciplinar." Foram incluídos estudos que apresentavam dados clínicos robustos, avaliações comparativas entre diferentes métodos de tratamento e que abordavam a recuperação pós-operatória. Critérios de exclusão aplicaram-se a estudos com amostras pequenas, publicações que não apresentavam análise estatística adequada e artigos sem acesso completo aos dados. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que o tratamento não cirúrgico foi eficaz em pacientes hemodinamicamente estáveis com lesões hepáticas menos graves, enquanto a cirurgia permaneceu como a principal intervenção para casos de hemorragia significativa ou lesões complexas. A abordagem multidisciplinar, com a integração de suporte psicológico, nutricional e fisioterapêutico, foi associada a uma recuperação mais rápida e melhores resultados a longo prazo. Concluiu-se que a personalização do tratamento, alinhada com as condições clínicas e os valores do paciente, foi crucial para o sucesso terapêutico, com redução significativa na mortalidade e nas complicações pós-operatórias.

Balancing Act: Reassessing the Canadian Government Environmental Priorities in the Wake of the Sydney Tar Ponds Disaster
Authors: Harsh Patel
Published: September 2024

"Does the government of Canada care about us, or even this land?" is a sentiment often voiced by many Sydney, Nova Scotia locals. Here, there is growing concern that the Canadian government's approach to environmental issues may be overly centred on human health, neglecting the vital dimension of animal health. While the Canadian government is known to prioritize human wellbeing as can be seen during the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfires and the 2013 Alberta floods, it is equally crucial to recognize the interconnectedness of ecological systems, wherein the welfare of animals plays a pivotal role. As Canada grapples with pressing environmental challenges like wildfires in British Columbia and depleting salmon populations on the Atlantic Coast, there is a predominant need for a paradigm shift in the government's approach—one that places equal emphasis on safeguarding both human and animal health. Throughout history, the Canadian government has been recognized for prioritizing the mitigation of human health concerns over those related to animal health, exemplified by the case of the Sydney Tar Ponds. The government's remediation efforts for the Tar Ponds were grossly inadequate, as they failed to sufficiently mitigate environmental hazards, focusing solely on human hazards, a pattern evident in many of their previous interventions. The holistic cleanup necessary for the preservation of aquatic life and the environment was missing, which raises concerns about the potential resurgence of animal and human health concerns in the future.
Mujeres-Madres: los modos de construcción de la maternidad en la serialidad contemporánea
Authors: Golfieri Madriaga María Antonella , Aguirre Constanza
Published: September 2024

En el presente artículo, analizaremos la construcción de la imagen de la mujer a partir de su rol materno en tres series contemporáneas: Mrs. America (FX-HULU, 2020), Top of the Lake (BBC Two, 2013) y The Handmaid's Tale (HULU, 2017). Recuperamos el concepto de maternidad como eje fundamental en la construcción de la mujer en el audiovisual y lo enmarcaremos dentro de la perspectiva teórica feminista que lo entiende como un mandato clave por el cual el sistema sexo-género heterosexual hegemónico distingue de manera arbitraria los roles y las prácticas sexuales que socialmente se atribuyen a los géneros masculino y femenino como atributos naturales (Preciado, 2011). Exploraremos también la construcción de la imagen de la mujer desde los diferentes escenarios sociales, políticos y culturales representados en el corpus. Proponemos a manera de hipótesis que estas tres series, en idioma inglés, con actrices y actores consagradxs en la industria cinematográfica norteamericana y distribuidas por plataformas de gran alcance, construyen imágenes de mujeres que recuperan y escenifican los roles de género estereotipados que la agenda feminista norteamericana señala como lugares comunes a revisar y criticar. Los personajes de nuestro corpus encarnan distintos modos de entender y practicar la maternidad que conviven (no sin contradicciones) en nuestra época y que implican extensos debates tanto fuera como dentro de los movimientos feministas. Entendemos que las series, al igual que cualquier obra de ficción, pueden llegar a constituir un espacio de canalización y vehiculización de estos debates.
The Ross Operation Over 55 Years Later: Comparing Surgical Techniques and Outcomes
Authors:   Department of Cardiac Surgery, Centre Cardiologique du Nord, Saint-Denis, France, Nappi Francesco
Published: September 2024

The Ross procedure is often considered the best option for a small group of patients. Some critics argue that harvesting the pulmonary artery again can cause problems, such as exposing the native pulmonary autograft to systemic pressures and requiring further intervention. However, the pulmonary autograft is a living tissue that can adjust to growing conditions and undergo remodelling. The pathophysiology of living tissue, harvesting techniques, indications for use of pulmonary autograft in aortic valve disease, contraindications, and variations of pulmonary autograft as an aortic conduit are discussed in this seminar. Following recent updates from high-volume centres, the indications, contraindications, techniques, and variations of pulmonary autograft as an aortic conduit and, in the absence of substantial well-designed randomised controlled trials, areas where the Ross procedure needs to be reaffirmed as part of the surgical armamentarium are also discussed. Furthermore, increasing evidence suggests that the Ross procedure produces better long-term results than traditional aortic valve replacement in young and middle-aged adults. To enable cardiologists and surgeons to make appropriate decisions for their patients with aortic valve disease, the author provides a complete review of the most recent published studies on the Ross procedure.

Annuloplasty should always accompany mitral valve repair in order to achieve proper annular remodeling and stabilization. Numerous types of annuloplasty rings—that differ from rigid to semi-rigid and flexible devices, from complete to partial, and from flat to saddle-shaped rings—are clinically available. A deeper understanding of mitral valve function, in conjunction with several recent studies, suggest it is advisable to prefer annuloplasty rings that mimic the physiological mitral annulus shape and three-dimensional (3D) dynamic changes in order to reduce haemodynamic stress on valve components and optimize leaflet coaptation, perhaps improving valve repair durability too. This paper aims to focus on 3D annuloplasty rings, with dynamic features: MEMO 3D™ and MEMO 4D™ (Sorin Medical, New York, New York), as well as Physio Flex (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California).

Introduction: Ampulla of Vater carcinoma (AVC) with para-aortic node (PAN) metastasis is considered unresectable and is equivalent to distant metastasis, contributing to poor outcomes. Case presentation: A 60-year-old man was referred to our hospital and was diagnosed with an unresectable ampulla of Vater carcinoma that had metastasized to the para-aortic nodes. The patient received a systemic chemotherapy regimen comprising a combination of gemcitabine and cisplatin. Following five cycles of treatment, imaging studies revealed a significant reduction in the primary tumor and para-aortic node metastasis, rendering detection difficult. Pancreatoduodenectomy with para-aortic node dissection was performed as a radical surgery. Upon pathological examination, no residual tumors were identified in the resected specimen, indicating that the systemic chemotherapy achieved a complete pathological response. The postoperative course of the patient was uneventful, and he was discharged on the 25th postoperative day. The patient was followed up as an outpatient and remained stable without any recurrence for two months after surgery. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy with gemcitabine and cisplatin was useful for downstaging the ampulla in patients with Vater carcinoma. This finding may help physicians manage patients with similar presentations.
Use of a Novel Reverse Hip Replacement System to Address Dislocation and Instability
Authors:   JIS Orthopedics, New Albany, Ohio, Lombardi, Jr. Adolph V.
Published: September 2024

While total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an enormously successful treatment for patients with end-stage degenerative arthritis of the hip, and surgeons have optimized existing hip implants and techniques, dislocation and instability persist as a leading cause of failure. Given the tremendous success of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty in enhancing the stability of shoulder reconstruction by reversing the anatomic seating of the ball and socket components, one manufacturer (Hip Innovation Technology, LLC, Woodstock, Georgia) has developed a novel Reverse Hip Replacement System (Reverse HRS) to address the need for greater stability in reconstruction of the arthritic hip joint. Rather than the traditional anatomic components that replace the head of the femur with a spherical ball and the acetabulum with a socket with polyethylene liner mounted into the pelvis, the Reverse HRS features a cup with polyethylene liner attached to the femoral stem and a spherical metal head attached to a central trunnion inside of the porous-coated acetabular shell fixed into the pelvis. This design provides dramatically enhanced stability and improved range of motion. This article reviews relevant published literature, including results from a Canadian clinical trial and case reports from a multicenter American clinical trial monitored by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. It also describes the components and surgical technique of reverse THA.

Published: September 2024

Prodromal Parkinson's Disease (PD) represents a critical phase preceding the clinical onset of the disease, characterized by subtle and often non-motor symptoms that precede the classic motor manifestations. Understanding this prodromal phase is essential for early diagnosis, intervention, and potentially altering the disease course. This narrative review aims to elucidate the current knowledge on the prodromal phase of PD, highlighting known biomarkers, genetic predispositions, and environmental factors that contribute to early detection. Furthermore, it examines the limitations and gaps in our understanding, including the variability in prodromal symptoms, challenges in identifying definitive biomarkers, and the need for longitudinal studies. By synthesizing the existing literature, this review provides a comprehensive overview of what we know about prodromal PD and underscores the areas that require further research to enhance early diagnostic accuracy and develop preventative strategies.

Violence and Social Transformation in Libya presents groundbreaking research on the experience of post-Qadhafian armed conflict in Libya’s regions. Ibrahim’s contribution excels in conveying local flavor. Stocker and al-Fallani present a comprehensive treatment of the history, social realities, myth-making, and intercommunal struggles in the Fezzan. The book’s final chapter by Thornton invents a novel periodization of international engagement in Libya’s post-2014 wars that explains how a flawed mediation approach elevated rogue armed groups into “legitimate” interlocutors. Despite these strengths, the volume tries to reinvent the wheel by ignoring previous scholarship on state-owned enterprises, militia mapping, or the interplay between armed actors and corruption. Post–October 7, many are now looking down at academics as purveyors of immoral reductionist black and white ideologies. This volume points to a grimmer reality, where the academy has become a place where a sustained multidecade-long conversation among neutral scholars to build up cumulative expertise is no longer valued.

Authors: Imam Md Sartaz , Al-Mahmud Naim
Published: September 2024

English occupies a critical role within the national education system of Bangladesh, spanning Grades I through XII. The primary education sector, which includes students from Grades I to V, is designed to lay a foundational understanding of English literacy. This study aims to identify the challenges, recent advancements, and strategies for improving English language teaching at the primary level in Bangladesh. Adopting a qualitative research methodology, this study draws on semi-structured interviews with four Bangladeshi teachers to explore their perspectives on effective English teaching practices in primary schools. The qualitative data were analyzed through thematic coding to identify prevailing patterns. The findings reveal several significant challenges to effective English teaching and learning, including students' lack of engagement in English classes, resistance to learning a foreign language, limited vocabulary proficiency, insufficient development of the four language skills, and suboptimal class sizes. Consequently, this study contributes valuable insights by addressing current challenges and offering actionable recommendations for enhancing English language instruction in primary education in Bangladesh.

Authors: Oyinloye Daniel , Osho Adeleke
Published: September 2024

The study focused on conducting a comparative analysis of the impact of selected medicinal plants on intestinal flora during diabetes management in rats induced with streptozotocin. Thirty male albino rats were utilised for the experiment, with 36 rats subjected to the induction of diabetes using streptozotocin. By injecting streptozotocin intraperitoneally at a dose of 75 mg/kg body weight dissolved in normal saline, diabetes type 2 was induced. Following the induction, the rats were administered a 5% glucose solution to prevent hypoglycemic shock. Blood glucose levels were monitored regularly, and rats above 200 mg/dl were deemed diabetic and added to the study. Glibenclamide 45 mg/kg b.w., Bitter melon, Okra, and akuamma leaves. 200 mg/kg b.w., and leaves were administered daily for 28 days in diabetic rats. Some intestinal taxa changed as a result of streptozotocin-induced diabetes. The percentage of Enterobacteriaceae increased versus Control. Pseudomonas aeruginosa, influenced the quantitative proportion of some intestinal species (Bacillus subtilis, proteus mirabilis, E. coli, shigella flauor). Glibenclamide stimulates the growth of Lactobacilli and Eubacterium spp. But suppresses the G+/G- ratio in small intestinal samples. The results indicated that administering plant extracts significantly reduced blood glucose and a notable presence of microbes suitable for insulin secretion and sugar fermentation. Additionally, the study highlighted the potential of plant extracts to positively impact intestinal flora, suggesting a promising avenue for managing diabetes in streptozotocin-induced rats.

Instant gratification refers to the temptation, and resulting tendency, to let go off a future benefit just to satisfy short-term pleasure. Instant gratification is closely associated with obesity. Studies show that the increased presence of automation, smart gadgets and the internet has resulted in a growing impact on instant gratification. The Digital Natives being born in a purely digital era have everything digitalized; has it caused a decrease in the ability to delay gratification? A qualitative study was conducted to see if there has been a decrease in the ability to delay gratification with the assumption that the Digital Natives are impulsive and show behaviour of instant gratification. For this, Marshmallow’s Test was conducted on pre-schoolers and the video recordings were coded on NVivo for data analysis to achieve the research objective. The study shows that most of the participants were able to delay gratification. But few participants exhibit a lesser ability to delay gratification; though they did not eat the whole Marshmallow, they were constantly nipping and eating bits of the Marshmallow. There was a significant difference in the ability to delay gratification with regards to different socio-economic status of the family that the participants belonged to. The ability to delay gratification in most of the participants could be due to multiple factors like parents being more educated - teaching children to be more patient, early education, good health, better standards of living, etc.
What Will Happen In The Future Of Sustainable Banking? A Link Prediction Bibliometric Analysis Approach
Authors: Fard Hajar Moayery , Nezamzadeh Hesameddin
Published: September 2024

The transition from traditional banking to sustainable banking is a hot topic in banking industries that, besides the financial aspect, concentrates on three other aspects: ethical, environmental, and social banking. However, there has yet to be a study to predict the future of this field. This paper is one of the first studies utilizing link prediction for bibliometric analysis and is the first study focused on predicting the future of sustainable banking. We analyze the future of stainable banking by introducing and implementing the new concepts of future co-word analysis and future strategic diagrams. We found that the concentration on social and financial aspects will decrease, while the concentration on ethical and environmental aspects alongside the customer analysis approaches will increase. Indeed, ethical and environmental considerations and customer analysis will be changed into the motor themes of sustainable banking.
Osteopathic Considerations in the Medical Treatment of a Patient with COVID-Related Respiratory Distress
Authors: Yang Yvonne , Carnes Michael , Kingery Jennifer , Stiles Edward
Published: September 2024

We present a case of a woman hospitalized for acute hypoxic respiratory failure secondary to suspected post coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pneumonitis who clinically improved after addition of sequenced Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT) to her medical management. Objective signs (such as oxygen saturation, SPO2) improved, resulting in decreased oxygen volume requirements by 75% after 1 treatment of OMT, and by 97.5% over her remaining hospitalization. Subjective symptoms of dyspnea, chest tightness, fatigue and mental health also improved. Her most significant somatic dysfunctions (SD), which were primarily in her thoracic, ribcage and cervical regions, were correlated with her clinical presentation and disease process. This suggests that SD was likely a modifiable risk factor impairing her normal adaptive physiologic processes and therefore treating SD with sequenced OMT may have contributed to her realizing a higher health potential when combined with standard medical care.

Authors: Silva Rômulo Lopes , Souza Vera Lucia Trevisan
Published: September 2024

Na atualidade os discursos sobre as juventudes e as sexualidades têm lidado com embates no campo político e social na sociedade brasileira interferindo nas possibilidades de inserção social dessa população. Assim, este estudo objetivou refletir sobre o lugar que assumem as vivências relacionadas à orientação sexual não heterossexual nas trajetórias de jovens gays. Os dados apresentados enfatizam as entrevistas online semiestruturadas realizadas com dois jovens que se autoidentificam como gays. Trata-se de reflexões oriundas de uma pesquisa-intervenção orientada pela Psicologia Histórico-Cultural e estudos de gênero e sexualidade, e as entrevistas analisadas com inspiração na proposta Núcleos de Significação, a qual evidencia os processos históricos e sociais das significações sobre ser jovem gay. As reflexões revelam as tensões e conflitos presentes nas sociabilidades juvenis gays no contexto histórico atual, em que as experiências dos dois jovens lançam luz aos papéis sociais assumidos, em meio às situações de individualização, conservadorismo e redução da coletividade.
MEŞRU MÜDAFAADA İCRAİLİK ŞARTLARI
Authors: Apan Mustafa Kemal
Published: September 2024

2. Dünya Savaşına kadar savaşlar ile silahlı çatışmaları yasaklayarak sona erdirme fikri geçerliliğini korumuş, 2. Dünya Savaşından sonra bu fikir terk edilmiştir. Günümüzde savaşlar ile silahlı çatışmaların var olduğu fikri baskın hale gelmiştir. Savaşların ve silahlı çatışmaların varlığını kabul eden ülkeler, uluslararası örgütler ve uluslararası kişilerin meydana getirmiş olduğu anlaşmalar silahlı çatışmaları kurallara bağlamayı tercih etmişlerdir. Bu kapsamda ihdas edilen Birleşmiş Milletler Antlaşması, silahlı çatışma kurallarından belki de en önemli ve hayati olan kuvvet kullanmaya ilişkin düzenlemeler getirmiştir. Devletlerin, başka devlet ya da devletlere karşı kullandığı güç olarak ifade edilebilecek kuvvet kullanma kavramı, günümüzde Birleşmiş Milletler Antlaşması başta olmak üzere çok sayıda uluslararası anlaşma tarafından yasaklanmıştır. Kuvvet kullanma yasağının tek istisnası ise meşru müdafaadır. Her ne kadar Caroline Olayına kadar devletler tarafından birbirlerine karşı self preservation’a başvurulmuş olsa da esasen meşru müdafaa hakkının doğal bir hak olması sebebiyle varlığını Birleşmiş Milletler Antlaşmasından öncesinde de sürdürmekteydi. Birleşmiş Milletler Antlaşmasından önce de varlığını sürdüren doğal bir hak olan meşru müdafaa hakkı, Caroline Kararı ile sistematik bir hal kazanmış ve uluslararası örf adet hukuku yani jus cogens olarak kabul görmüştür. Jus cogens kuralı haline gelen ve sair antlaşmalara konu olan meşru müdafaanın koşullarının gerçekleşmesi halinde kuvvet kullanma yasağı ortadan kalkarak kuvvet kullanma hukuka uygun bir hal almaktadır. Anlaşılacağa üzere meşru müdafaa kuvvet kullanmanın meşruluğunu teşkil etmektedir. Meşru müdafaanın bu denli önemli olması sebebiyle meşru müdafaanın üzerinde durularak koşulları üzerine değerlendirme yapmak gerekmektedir. Araştırmanın amacı, kuvvet kullanmanın yasal dayanağını teşkil eden meşru müdafaa müessesinin, kapsam ve sınırlarını belirleyerek meşru müdafaanın icra edilebilmesi için hangi şartların gerçekleşmesi gerektiği üzerinde durulmasıdır.
Corporate Value Assessment based on the EVA Model and Relative Valuation
Authors: Deng Taoran , Ning Zhi , Wan Kun
Published: September 2024

As a risk-averse commodity, gold has seen new development opportunities in retail due to factors (e.g., geopolitical risks and conflicts, economic uncertainties, and inflation). Consequently, more and more investors are focusing on the gold retail industry. Evaluating the value of gold retail enterprises using scientific and effective methods is of great significance to both managers and investors. Therefore, this paper uses Chow Tai Seng, a Chinese gold retail enterprise, as a case study. Based on the company's development characteristics, we employ the EVA absolute valuation method and relative valuation methods including P/E, P/B and P/S ratios for valuation. The study finds that although its EVA values show a general downward trend from 2019 to 2023, they remain positive, indicating that the company's overall development is still on track. The development of enterprise valuation theory has gone through the MM (Modigliani-Miller) theory, Free Cash Flow Valuation Model, and the Capital Asset Pricing Model, among others. These theoretical models have gradually improved, and the theoretical system is continuously evolving. By summarizing and reviewing valuation theories and methods, this paper employs the DDM for valuation and the P/E ratio method under relative valuation based on the company's development characteristics. Combining these two valuation methods with the company's actual financial data and relevant value theories, the company can attract investors and address undervaluation by increasing its exposure through modern multimedia channels and enhancing data transparency.
