Published: July 2022

Introducción. La colangitis biliar primaria (CBP) es una enfermedad hepática crónica de origen autoinmune, caracterizada por inflamación y destrucción progresiva de las células epiteliales de los conductos biliares intralobulillares, que causa de manera secundaria colestasis, fibrosis, cirrosis e insuficiencia hepática. La historia natural de la enfermedad ha cambiado en los últimos años debido a la mejoría en los métodos diagnósticos y terapéuticos. Metodología. Estudio observacional descriptivo de cohorte retrospectivo, en el cual se efectuó la revisión y análisis de las historias clínicas de los pacientes mayores de 16 años con diagnóstico de CBP, atendidos en la Unidad
de Hepatología y Trasplante Hepático del Hospital Pablo Tobón Uribe, entre los años 2013 a 2021, con el fin de obtener información sobre las características de esta patología a nivel local. Resultados. Se evaluó un total de 239 pacientes, con un promedio de edad de 61,6±12,31 años, el 97,07% fue del sexo femenino, con criterios serológicos como anticuerpos antimitocondriales (AMA) positivos en un 76,89%, el 66,95% de los pacientes presentaban alguna enfermedad autoinmune concomitante y el 31,60% tuvieron sobreposición con hepatitis autoinmune. La manifestación clínica más frecuente fue el prurito en un 61,92% de los pacientes, seguido por la astenia en un 51,88%. La presencia de hipertensión portal al diagnóstico fue del 29,29%. La colangitis no supurativa y la ductopenia en la biopsia de hígado se documentó en un 43,79% de los casos. El ácido ursodesoxicólico (UDCA) fue la terapia de primera línea en el 100% de los pacientes, se identificó refractariedad del 16,36% según criterios de París II y del 31,79% con los criterios de Toronto. La no respuesta al UDCA, se asoció de manera significativa con mayor mortalidad (p=0,039) y presencia de hepatocarcinoma (p=0,042). Conclusión. Se caracterizó la CBP en nuestra población. El diagnóstico serológico por AMA fue bajo, con altos requerimientos de biopsia hepática en el contexto de síndromes de sobreposición. Los signos de hipertensión portal al momento del diagnóstico fueron prevalentes. La refractariedad bioquímica a la terapia fue descrita en relación con mayor progresión de fibrosis, aumento de mortalidad y presencia de hepatocarcinoma.

Authors: Lavrinenko A. R.
Published: July 2022

In the context of the transition to highly efficient economic systems that are receptive to innovation, economic clustering becomes an important tool for both regional development and stimulating innovative development in general. The purpose of the study is to develop organizational and economic tools for implementing the structural policy in the field of clustering the regional economy. The core of clusters in the regional economic systems of the Republic of Belarus are innovation-oriented industries based on the best achievements of world experience in science and technology, capable of creating high value-added products. A necessary condition for the effective development of an innovation-industrial cluster is the creation of an established organizational and economic mechanism for managing the joint activities of participants in regional clusters in order to maximize their profits in the field of high-tech production.

Based on the list proposed by the Committee on the Rights of the Child in General Comments No. 14, the author reveals the content of the procedural guarantees necessary to ensure the best interest of the child, based on national and foreign legislation, international human rights standards and legal doctrine. The conclusion is made about the necessary changes in national legislation in order to comply with international standards for the protection of the rights of the child, in particular, amendments to the regulatory legal acts of the Republic of Belarus, fixing the specific age of the child as the basis for taking into account his opinion when deciding issues related to the implementation of children's rights.
Project Management and Employer Toxic Leadership: Implications for Managing a Road Improvement Project in Nepal
Authors: James Prof Dr Paul
Published: July 2022

This is a research paper that is focused on assessing the toxic leadership impacts of Project Management (Employer) on an 81Km road construction project in Nepal in terms of project performance. An interpretive methodology was utilised in order to help understand implicitly the management leadership’s impact on the project. The scope for this research was the on-site supervisory team. The targeted population of interest was made up of 13 engineers located at 2 on-site offices in the early construction phase of a road construction project. The research outcomes consisted of five (5) main themes with corresponding nineteen (19) sub-themes.The paper addresses raised issues of toxic leadership and determines outcomes and implications for the continuing project construction management. The paper also discloses that the Project Management of the Employer has been inadequate. Another specific outcome indicates that more effective leadership training focused on utilizing and embracing contemporary project leadership developments is essential to bring the project back into alignment with the planned Contractual construction schedules.The Employer road construction management appears to be very weak due to their low level of technical knowledge, toxic leadership style, orientation and strategies adopted for the Project Management. The Employer also appears to operate with a demonstrated lack of coherent leadership or oversight that has resulted from a Toxic Leader approach. The outcomes of the integrated analysis shows that this has negatively altered the project quality and delivery expectations. Significant changes have been recommended to address these raised toxic leadership issues.

On-site Measurement of Complex Waveforms on Transmission Network Components
Authors: Wouters Peter , Van Deursen Armand , Van Oorschot Jeroen , Hoogerman Marcel , Van Maanen Bernd
Published: July 2022

Superimposed voltage waveforms may result in electrical stresses in dielectric materials not anticipated for. Non-intrusive  ethodologies to observe these events, both capacitively and inductively, are discussed. This paper presents two examples where complex waveforms arise from energizing and de-energizing inductive loads. Case I: A compensation coil connected through overhead lines showed high overvoltage levels when being energized by means of a SF6 switchgear. Case II: A compensation coil connected via a power cable with a vacuum switchgear experienced high overvoltage levels from recurrent restrikes during its de-energization.
Multi-stress Cyclic Testing of Roebel Stator Bars for Hydropower
Authors: Eberg Espen , Kantar Emre , Grav Aakre Torstein
Published: July 2022

A multi-stress test rig was built to investigate the effect of many start-stops (load cycling) on hydropower generator insulation. To emulate real-life start-stops, stator bars were subjected to accelerated temperature cycling by circulating a 3.5 kA current and then cooling down with fans while high voltage (service voltage) was applied simultaneously to the insulation. A total of 250 load cycles were applied. Partial discharges (PD) were recorded on-line during load cycling, and after every 50 cycles, off-line dielectric loss and PD measurements were conducted. There was an apparent increase in dielectric losses after they had been subjected to a total of 250 load cycles. During load cycling, the PD level generally decreased with temperature, but there was a temporary increase in the PD activity during temperature rise and fall. This trend can be explained by different thermal expansion in copper and insulating material (epoxymica), suggesting that a stator bar that is load-cycled will be exposed to substantially higher PD levels than a stator bar under a uniform load and temperature, leading to further deterioration of the insulation quality.
DC-biased dielectric measurements using an existing frequency-domain spectroscopy (FDS) instrument and series battery
Authors: Taylor Nathaniel , Hao Jing
Published: July 2022

We present a simple method for adding DC bias to frequency-domain spectroscopy (FDS) measurements by inserting a battery in series in the ‘high’ lead to the device under test. An instrument designed for FDS measurements with pure AC can be used in this way without modification, even for DC voltages above the instrument’s AC range. Issues and limitations of the method are discussed, along with some alternative methods. Experimental results from FDS measurements on well defined linear objects are compared with/without the DC bias, to check that the measurement is not disturbed by the DC source. The only detected difference was the expected effect of including the battery impedance in series with the specimen in the measurement. This effect was negligible for typical lab-specimen capacitances, around and below power frequency. The nature of battery impedance is further described, as multiple small batteries in series can strongly affect the results for large specimens and at high frequencies.

COPD V3.0 AND IMPLICATIONS ON THE JOINT LEVEL
Authors: CHIRIAC Cătălin
Published: July 2022

The Comprehensive Operations Planning Directive / COPD, version 2.0, has been in recent years a guide for planners at the strategic and operational levels who need to understand and implement specific operations planning processes. Consistently applied by the member states of the Alliance, the Directive has reached the stage where the lessons identified have required its revision, with a view to improving and aligning it with the new requirements of the operating environment. Thus, the publishing of the COPD version 3.0 at NATO level established the process of modifying procedures or maturing thinking at the strategic and operational levels. Following the guidelines of previous versions, COPD version 3.0 describes in detail the planning processes specific to the strategic and operational levels, remaining the same indispensable tool necessary for planners to carry out the operations planning process.

Authors: ANGIU Ilie
Published: July 2022

Among the missions carried out by the Air Force there are those of supporting the RSOM process with specialized forces of all forces involved in conducting combat joint operations, which leads to considerable effort on their part and related support needs, mainly concerning the transport of forces by air. The involvement of the Air Force, in particular through the use of strategic transport aircraft but also through the provision of aerodrome infrastructure and cargo and passenger processing capabilities, makes the deployment of forces a key element in the economy and the success of joint operations. The RSOM process is mainly characterized as complex and the involvement of the air force through the use of specialized forces and means in the transport of forces can be considered in some operational situations as the best option, in some cases the only choice within the deployment stage of the joint operation.

Mother's love doesn't matter, for the sake of her child she is willing to do anything. Including to support the decision of the child who wants to migrate to improve the family economy. A child who went abroad became successful because of his business outside the city and then forgot his mother who was alone at home praying for her child's safety. Although this story has often been heard by the people of Indonesia, it is about a child who disobeys his mother. However, it turns out that this theme is not only found in Indonesia. There are several folk tales with the same theme from various countries, such as Malaysia and Brunei. This is interesting to study because the three folklores are located in different areas with different socio-cultural and economic backgrounds, but have similarities or parallels in story motifs. This study aims to determine the similarities and differences between the folklore "Si Lancang" from Riau, Indonesia, with the story "Nakhoda Manis" from Brunei, and the folktale "Si Tanggang" from Malaysia. The study used in this research is a comparative literary structure study. This study uses a comparative description method. Through comparative literary structural studies, it can be said that these folk tales have similarities in structures such as themes and messages. There are also differences in characters, characteristics, plots, and folklore backgrounds.

The Hidden Neoliberalism of CASEL's Social Emotional Learning Framework: Concerns for Equity
Authors: Richerme Lauren Kapalka
Published: July 2022

Social emotional learning (SEL) initiatives play an increasingly important role in American prekindergarten through 12th-grade education. Given the focus on equity by both SEL leaders and the music education community, it is important to examine how SEL initiatives might promote or inhibit equity. The purpose of this philosophical inquiry is to consider the relationship between the Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning (CASEL) SEL Framework and equity through the lens of neoliberalism. After examining how neoliberal practices contribute to economic and social inequities, I demonstrate three areas of alignment between CASEL's SEL Framework and neoliberalism. First, proponents of CASEL's SEL Framework and neoliberalism conceive of individuals as separate, responsible beings who can independently control their own economic and life destinies; they understand failure as a personal, rather than societal, problem. Second, neoliberalism demands ongoing self-surveillance in order to create more productive workers, and SEL initiatives extend existing surveillance techniques within schools to the affective realm, including through both student self-surveillance and teacher surveillance of students’ emotions. Third, both emphasize traditional morals, including those related to discipline and delayed gratification. The extensive alignment between neoliberal ideals and the CASEL SEL Framework suggests that such policies often work in tension with equity initiatives. Yet, given that students marginalized because of their race, class, gender identity, or other qualities often endure more emotional trauma than other student populations, the absence of attention to students’ emotional well-being may further existing inequities. I conclude by offering a reimagining of SEL policy initiatives that focuses on four guiding questions.
Effects of Ruzu, a Polyherbal Mixture, on Neurobehaviour and Expression of Serotonin and Dopamine Transporters in Rats
Authors: Oyadeyi Ayodele , Ajao Folasade , Babalola Temitope , Mustapha Yusuf
Published: July 2022

There is increased possibility that combined herbal constituents may interact to increase toxicity and lower efficacy. Ruzu herbal bitters (RHB) is a blend of extracts from Curculigo pilosa, Uvaria chamae, and Citrullus colocynthis, each of which has been shown to possess important bio-effects. There is anecdotal evidence for efficacy of RHB in neurological disorders; however, there are no data on possible neurotoxic effects of RHB. Using behavioural, biochemical and molecular indices as surrogates of neurotoxicity, this study therefore evaluated the nervous system effects of RHB. Twenty male Wistar rats were divided into two groups – a control group and RHB group (n=10). RHB (0.5ml/kg) was administered to the RHB group twice daily while control group took water (0.5ml/kg). Treatments lasted 6 weeks after which behavioural tests were carried out. Animals were subsequently sacrificed and the expression of serotonin transporter (SERT) and dopamine transporter (DAT) was determined in the striatum by immunofluorescence while specific activities of catalase, alkaline phosphatase and gamma glutamyltransferase were determined. In the elevated plus maze and light and dark box tests which are models of anxiety, animals treated with RHB showed significant anxiety compared to control. They also showed impaired locomotor activity in the open field and wire hang tests. The activity of catalase was significantly increased in the brain of the RHB treated rats while an increase in the expression of both DAT and SERT was observed in the striatum

Organizing with tenants and fighting rightist resentments: A case study from East Germany
Authors: Rosa Reichle Leon , Bescherer Peter
Published: July 2022

Through two neighborhood case studies in the rapidly upgrading East German city of Leipzig we discuss political implications of urban restructuring. Scrutinizing tenants’ rightist and racist reactions to the housing question, we argue that residential alienation affects people’s sense of place in a divisive manner, which in turn impacts both their interpretations of urban change and their respective practices. Based on our analyses of scapegoating and territorial stigma, we critically discuss the potential of activist intervention, drawing from two qualitative and ethnographic research projects, as well as activist experience in neighbourhood organizing.

In this conversation, the Manila-based housing activist Michael Beltran discusses with our editors (Hung-Ying and Ana) how political oppressions intensified during the pandemic and melded with the ongoing eviction, food, and public health crises. Michael shares with us how the pandemic changed ways of grassroots organizing and enabled the government to seize political opportunities to increase political crackdown and expand infrastructural projects. Michael also shares how people develop their voices and communal alternatives amid compounded crises of eviction, food, public health, and democracy.
Housing is not a crime: Madrid’s post-crisis squatters’ movement tell our story through activist research
Authors: Youngman Tom , Barrio Laura
Published: July 2022

Since the financial crisis the rate of squatting in Madrid has increased eightfold, a structural response to waves of evictions affecting upwards of 75 000 households in the region and the proliferation of vacant housing. But – predictably – squatters have been criminalised and persecuted by local and national authorities, the courts, the media and the banks who own the vast majority of their homes. Since 2015, Laura Barrio and Tom Youngman have co-ordinated a movement research project by and for the Coordinadora de Vivienda de Madrid, the assembly bringing together Madrid’s thirty or so neighbourhood housing mutual aid groups. Centred around a book published in 2017 and follow up interviews carried out in 2019, the project tells the story of Madrid’s post-crisis squatting in the first person plural as another tool in the squatters’ struggle for their right to housing. We tell the story through four lenses: speculation, poverty, criminalisation and legalisation. In this article we share the conclusions of our five year research project in English for the first time, unravelling the challenges of realising a research project as part of a social movement. We reflect on the complex emotions of sharing the project at academic conferences in Lisbon, London, Brighton and Stockholm, often finding ourselves feeling outsiders as activists doing research rather than researchers studying movements.
Editorial on ‘Tenants organizing: precarization and resistance’
Authors: Polanska Dominika V. , Rolf Hannes , Springfeldt Scott
Published: July 2022

In 2019 we organized a conference casting light on the housing crisis and especially on the historical and contemporary organization of tenants to contest housing inequalities. By placing housing struggles and tenants’ organization at the centre of the debate we aimed at exposing and politicizing current capitalist development and, hopefully, at proposing a different view of how housing can be organized and imagined by discussing how resistance can be used, with what effects and how it can be connected to other struggles. This special issue is a result of this conference dealing with tenants’ organization in different contexts examining how tenants organize(d), why and what could be learned from it. In this introducing text we give an overview of this field of research by asking why tenants’ mobilizations are important to study, what is still under-studied in the field and which perspectives are important to raise in future research.

The data was analyzed using the OLS method (Eviews-10) with the data processing method, namely Multiple Linear Regression Analysis. The results of this study indicate that: (1) GRDP has a positive and significant effect on local revenue in DKI Jakarta Province for the 2010-2019 period. (2) Regional Expenditures have a positive and insignificant effect on Regional Original Income of DKI Jakarta Province for the 2010-2019 Period (3) Simultaneously, GRDP and Regional Expenditures have a significant and influential effect on Regional Original Income of DKI Jakarta Province for the 2010-2019 period.
Reactivation and transformation of subsidized food program during the covid-19 pandemic
Authors: Azwar Anas
Published: July 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has reduced the welfare of the people of Jakarta. This can be seen from the increase in the number of poor people in Jakarta from 365.55 thousand people (2019) to 498.29 thousand people (2021) and the increase in the Gini ratio from 0.391 (2019) to 0.411 (2021). Government policies during the pandemic generally focus on distributing social assistance and assisting micro, small and medium enterprises, even though there are other policies such as subsidized food program. Research on subsidized food program is important to understand the implementation of policies to reduce poverty and improve people's welfare. This study aims to provide an explanation of the reactivation and transformation of the subsidized food program in Jakarta. The method used to answer the research is through literature studies and policy implementation in the field. The results showed that the reactivation of the subsidized food program was carried out as part of the social safety net policy to meet the food needs of certain communities, such as students from poor families, elderly and persons with disabilities who cannot fulfill their basic needs. The target beneficiaries are around 1 million people in 2021 and 2022. The registration mechanism is undergoing a transformation from an offline system to a combination of offline and online system. The distribution mechanism uses daily quotas and applies health protocols. There will be an increase in the value of the 2021-2022 subsidy from Rp. 246,800/person or 66% of the total food price to Rp. 268,500/person or 68% of the total food price
İŞYERİNİN BİRDEN FAZLA DEVRİ HÂLİNDE SON DEVRALANIN İLK DEVREDENİN ÖDENMEMİŞ SOSYAL GÜVENLİK PRİM BORÇLARINDAN DOLAYI SORUMLULUĞU
Authors: Gürel Murat , Civan Orhan Ersun
Published: July 2022

5510 sayılı Sosyal Sigortalar ve Genel Sağlık Sigortası Kanunu’nun 5754 sayılı Kanun ile değişik 89. maddesinin birinci fıkrasına göre; işyeri devri hâlinde eski işverenin Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu’na olan borçlarından yeni işveren de sorumlu olacaktır. Ancak hüküm işyerinin birden fazla devri hâlinde son devralanın, ilk devredenin Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu’na borçlarından sorumluluğu konusunda suskundur. Bu sorun Yargıtay içtihatları ve öğretide tartışılmıştır. Yargıtay’ın 2018 yılına kadarki içtihatlarında, birden fazla devir hâlinde son devralanın ilk devredenin prim borçlarından kural olarak sorumlu olmayacağı, ancak devir muvazaalı ise son devralanın sorumlu olabileceği kabul edilmekteydi. Tespit edebildiğimiz kadarıyla bu kararlar öğretide de hâkim görüş olarak benimsenmiştir. Öte yandan 2018 yılından sonra konuya ilişkin içtihat değişmiş, önceki kararların bir kısmının karşı oyunda dile getirilen görüş, Daire’nin içtihadı haline gelmiş ve oybirliği ile benimsenmiştir. Buna göre, Yargıtay işyerinin birden fazla devri hâlinde son devralanın da ilk devredenin Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu’na olan borçlarından sorumlu olacağını içtihat etmiştir.
İşte bu çalışmada soruna ilişkin yargı içtihatları ve öğreti görüşleri hem iş hukuku hem de ticaret hukuku bakımından değerlendirilecektir. Bu doğrultuda önce işyeri devrinin iş hukuku ve ticaret hukukunda neyi ifade ettiği ve bunun hukukî sonuçları üzerinde durulacaktır. Ardından Yargıtay’ın 2018 yılından önceki ve sonraki içtihadındaki gerekçelerin işyeri devrinin hukukî sonuçlarıyla, şirketler hukukunda yapısal değişikliklere ilişkin düzenlemelerle örtüşüp örtüşmediği tartışılacaktır.
TIME TO RECONSIDER THE REGULATORY STRUCTURE OF THE TURKISH WEALTH FUND: A SHORT REVIEW
Authors: Tatar Samet
Published: July 2022

ABSTRACT

A sovereign wealth fund is generally structured on state-owned financial assets to protect citizens’ long-term economic interests. Sovereign wealth funds are owned by states and generally operated by executive branches of government as private business entities. Sovereign wealth funds are beneficial not only to support large-scale projects financially by stabilizing countries’ economies but also to increase investment opportunities in domestic and international financial markets. Legal problems arising nature of the complexity of sovereign wealth funds need to be monitored carefully while adopting effective rules and regulations for risk mitigation. The Turkish Wealth Fund was established as a joint-stock company and subjected to the principles of Turkish private law in 2016. The current regulatory structure of the wealth fund brings some legal problems such as challenges for board members of the wealth fund. The Santiago Principles which provide effective administrative law principles to governments ought to be adopted into the current Turkish legislation to promote accountability and transparency in the domestic financial markets. In particular, the paper proposes that the appointment of the board members should be exercised by the executive and legislative branches collaboratively while board members ought to be accountable for their business operations. In addition, the Turkish Wealth Fund should adopt a vigorous public disclosure regime to increase its transparency in the domestic securities market.
