De zaken Sātiņi-S en Hemwegcentrale: grote gevolgen voor de Nederlandse nadeelcompensatiepraktijk?

De grenzen tussen nadeelcompensatie op grond van het égalitébeginsel en verboden staatssteun zijn complex. Het arrest Sātiņi-S van het Hof van Justitie en het besluit van de Europese Commissie inzake de compensatie voor de sluiting van de Hemwegcentrale illustreren dat. Sātiņi-S betekent mogelijk een beperking voor overheden om bedrijven om compensaties te verlenen voor beperkende maatregelen, zoals op het terrein van dieren- en milieubescherming. Hemwegcentrale betekent mogelijk dat zonder tussenkomst van de rechter geen zekerheid bestaat dat een compensatie geen steunvoordeel vormt. De door het Hof van Justitie en de Commissie gemaakte overwegingen hebben mogelijk grote gevolgen voor de Nederlandse nadeelcompensatiepraktijk. In dit artikel gaan de auteurs hierop in en plaatsen zij daar kanttekeningen bij.

Dosa Yang Mendatagkan Maut Dan Tidak Mendatangkan Maut 1 Yohanes 5:16-17 Serta Pengaruhnya Bagi Orang Kristen Masa Kini
Authors: Hendrik Irwansyah Zebua  , Abad Jaya Zega
Published: November 2023

The interpretation of 1 John 5:16, 17, which distinguishes between sin leading to death and sin not leading to death, remains a topic of debate among Bible scholars. Diverse viewpoints arise from theological interpretations and biblical studies. Further dialogue is necessary to gain a deeper understanding of this verse. Employing exegetical methods, the author endeavors to elucidate the concept of mortal sin and non-lethal sin. The research centers on scrutinizing sin in 1 John, particularly in verses 2:1 and 3:8, and comparing it with the context of verses 5:16, 17. It considers factors such as faith in Jesus as the Mediator and situations involving conscious sin or continuous transgression against God's law, both of which lead to death. A sin that doesn't lead to death pertains to a believer who, during their life's journey, may sin but subsequently confesses to God. In such cases, God forgives, preventing eternal death.
Colonialismo e espaço urbano – a herança imperial no corpo das cidades
Authors: Da Silva Júnior Alcides Mendes
Published: November 2023

O imperialismo não é somente uma forma de dominação e expropriação. É também um conjunto de preceitos e métodos de sujeição psicossocial e, no longo prazo, um processo histórico e eficaz de subjetificação objetal. Neste sentido, as sociedades coloniais, mesmo após a libertação, tendem a manter visões de mundo e concepções de vida impregnadas dos valores inerentes à histórica vassalagem, devidamente reproduzidos nas suas interações sociais. Os aparatos e modos de exploração e domínio, na verdade, permanecem praticamente intactos nas relações entre as colônias e suas antigas metrópoles, bem como mesmo no interior das assimétricas configurações e representações sociais dos antigos impérios. Para tanto, todo um aparato calcado num onipresente discurso securitário permeia a vida das cidades em todos os quadrantes geográficos, com toda a sua inesgotável e invasiva capacidade tecnológica a subjugar e subverter vontades e desejos de uma sociedade ocidental pautada historicamente pela violência intrínseca e por ideias atávicas de superioridade racial e privilégios sociais naturalizados.
Evaluation of effectiveness of osteopathic visceral manipulation in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain: A multi-center, single-blind, randomized-controlled study
Authors: Altınbilek Turgay
Published: November 2023

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of osteopathic visceral manipulation (OVM) combined with physical therapy in pain, depression, and functional impairment in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain (LBP). Patients and methods: A total of 118 patients with chronic mechanical LBP were assessed, and 86 who met the inclusion criteria were included in the randomized-controlled study between January 2021 and August 2022. The patients were randomized to either Group 1 (n=43), which underwent physical therapy (5 days/week, for a total of 15 sessions) combined with OVM (2 days/week with three-day intervals), or Group 2 (n=43), which underwent physical therapy (5 days/week, for a total of 15 sessions) combined with sham OVM (2 days/week with three-day intervals). Both groups were assessed before and after treatment and at the fourth week post-treatment. Results: Seven patients were lost to follow-up, and the study was completed with 79 patients (25 males, 54 females; mean age: 46.87±14.12 years; range, 19 to 75 years). Pain, depression, and functional impairment scores were all improved in both groups (p=0.001 for all). This improvement was sustained at week four after the end of treatment. However, improvement in the pain, depression, and functional impairment scores was significantly higher in Group 1 than in Group 2 (p=0.001 for all). Conclusion: The results suggest that OVM combined with physical therapy is useful to improve pain, depression, and functional impairment in patients with chronic mechanical low back pain. We believe that OVM techniques should be combined with other physical therapy modalities in this patient population.
Pain relief and functional improvement provided by extracorporeal shock wave therapy in plantar fasciitis is better than corticosteroid injection and kinesio taping: A randomized trial
Authors: Orhan Özlem
Published: November 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the results of extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT), corticosteroid injection (CI), and kinesio taping (KT) in terms of pain and function in plantar fasciitis (PF). Patients and methods: In this prospective study, 90 feet of 64 patients (11 males, 53 females; mean age: 38.3±10.4 years; range, 22 to 70 years) who presented with chronic PF between November 2021 and March 2022 were evaluated. The patients were randomized to three groups, with 30 feet in each group: the CI group, the ESWT group, and the KT group. Each group received only the respective treatment modalities assigned to their group. Pain assessment of the patients before the treatment and at six weeks, three months, and six months was evaluated with the Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and their functions were evaluated with the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) score. Results: There was no statistical difference in the demographic data (age, body mass index, and VAS; all p>0.05). At six weeks, VAS was statistically significantly lower in the CI group compared to the other groups (p<0.001), but there was no difference in AOFAS between the groups (p=0.666). At three months, there was no statistical difference between the groups regarding VAS (p=0.311), while the AOFAS was higher in the ESWT group (p=0.006). At six months, VAS was lower (p<0.001) and AOFAS was higher (p=0.003) in the ESWT group. Conclusion: All three commonly used treatment modalities, ESWT, CI, and KT, are effective in reducing pain and increasing function in chronic PF. However, while CIs can be more effective in relieving pain in the early period, the most significant improvement at the end of the sixth month was achieved by ESWT.

Published: November 2023

This paper presents the development of a legal technology strategy that aims to address the challenges faced by law firms in responding to technology-driven changes in the corporate environment. The proposed strategy focuses on the creation of a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) cloud model tailored to the needs of small-scale legal enterprise systems. This approach offers several key benefits, including scalability, modularity, lower cost, availability, reduced hardware costs, and enhanced security. To achieve these goals, we plan to leverage various cloud computing resources to support real-time collaboration, communication, and data management within legal firms. The developed solution will incorporate automation capabilities for the drafting, negotiation, and execution of contracts, legal documents, and templates. Furthermore, the system will provide efficient storage and retrieval functionalities for contract documents. By implementing this technology strategy, law firms can adapt to the changing landscape of the corporate environment and leverage technological advancements to streamline their operations. The proposed SaaS cloud model offers cost-effective solutions for small-scale legal enterprises, promoting accessibility and enhancing productivity. The research outcomes aim to contribute to the overall efficiency and effectiveness of legal practices in the era of technology-driven changes. We intend to leverage various cloud computing resources to support instantaneous collaboration, communication, and data management within legal firms. We plan on using the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm and Amazon Quantum Ledger Database (QLDB) to provide confidentiality and security to Personal Identifiable Information (PII).

Exploring Resource-Based Actor Engagement in Microfinance Institutions: The Service-Dominant Logic Perspective
Authors: Noreen Zahra  , Kausar Abdul Rashid , Zaheer Muhammad
Published: November 2023

Actor engagement is an emerging area of research in service-dominant logic yet equated with the traditional view of customer engagement. The narrow explanation of cognitive and emotional perspectives obstructs the theory building to further understand the resource-based perspective of actor engagement, thus warranting an inductive inquiry. The interrelated categorization is also a missing link in the literature, and this study fills this gap.  This qualitative study explores antecedents of actor engagement with a resource-based perspective at pre, core, and post-service encounters. While adopting the qualitative Gioia methodology, twenty-five customers of microfinance institutions were interviewed to explore the phenomenon. Our study reveals that in the pre-resource integration phase, the value fit and actors' dexterity are the antecedents that bring actor engagement. The alignment of integrated resources and service interaction disposition ensures engagement at the resource-integration phase, whereas, in the post-integration phase, actor engagement is affected by the service outcome. Furthermore, the actors' association with networks influences the engagement, and information gateways interconnect all three phases. This study offers four unique propositions to explain interrelated resource-based actor engagement. Microfinance institutions moving towards digital banking can adopt the study findings to redesign engaging strategies at an actor-to-actor level to ensure brand loyalty and commitment. Researchers can quantitatively test the proposed propositions for further conceptual advancement.

Published: November 2023

Background: The pain experienced following supratentorial brain surgery is usually defined as moderate to severe. Therefore, pain-management approaches, including narcotics, are an integral part of treatment regimens that cause respiratory complications or seizures, and reducing this pain level and increasing patient satisfaction is vital. Methods: This randomized, double-blind clinical trial study to evaluate the pain level and satisfaction in patients undergoing surgery for supratentorial brain neoplasms was performed on two groups with a sample size of 50 patients. In group I, after removal of the brain lesion (at the beginning of dura closure), 400 mg of ibuprofen solution was infused intravenously over 30 minutes. In group II, morphine 0.07 mg/kg intravenously with 1000 mg paracetamol was infused over 30 minutes. After injecting ibuprofen and paracetamol morphine, the patient's pain level and satisfaction with the process were checked. Results: Patients' satisfaction score in the first 6 hours in the ibuprofen group was 1.67 ± 0.72, and in the other group was 2.27 ± 0.7, which was statistically different (P-value = 0.029). The mean of VAS in the first, second, third, and fourth hours was not statistically different. In the comparative analysis of the laboratory indicators of platelet function analysis in the two groups, none of the measured items had a significant difference between the two groups in the three measurement periods (P > 0.05). Conclusions: Administration of ibuprofen led to pain relief and patient satisfaction comparable to morphine and paracetamol, and after the surgery for supratentorial brain tumors, ibuprofen did not affect the patients’ blood clotting functions.

Objectives: This study investigated the mutation of interest in the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2. Methods: Ribonucleic acid (RNA) was extracted from 40 swap samples. Next, the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay was carried out to detect the RBD. Investigation of SARS-COV-2 RBD was performed completely by phylogenetic and tree alignment. The multiple sequence alignment (MSA) of the biological sequence of RBD was created by BioEdit, Snap Gene, and MEGA software and was then compared to sequences of different variants of SARS-COV-2 in the GenBank (National Center for Biotechnology Information). The Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GSAID) was used to detect mutations in the RBD sequence. Results: Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) RBD domain showed that the RBD domain sequence obtained from the Iranian patients' highest identity by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 isolate MZ907347. Several mutations of interest, including A475V, L452R, V483A, and F490L, were detected in the RBD region. However, the dN/dS analysis detected positive selection in RBD regions. Conclusions: Amino acid changes in the surface protein can significantly alter the viral function and/or interactions with neutralizing antibodies. Most of the nucleotide changes in the spike gene reduce infectivity. The V503W and P521Q mutations reduce infectivity, the A522Q mutation increases sensitivity to neutralizing antibodies, and the H519T mutation decreases susceptibility to convalescent sera.

A reziliencia fogalma jelentős népszerűségre tett szert az antropológiai értelemezői, elemzői munkában az elmúlt két évtizedben. Mint minden analitikus eszköznek, úgy a reziliencia fogalmának is a megvilágító ereje mellett megvannak a maga korlátai. Ezekre a korlátokra szeretnék rámutatni tanulmányomban. A fogalom hatókörével és korlátaival kapcsolatos megjegyzéseimet három vizsgálati szempont köré csoportosítva fogalmazom meg. Elsőként általában az antropológia analitikus eszközeinek értékével kapcsolatban teszek fel kérdéseket, ezt követően a reziliencia fogalmának megvilágító erejét teszem mérlegre, végül pedig a fogalom megvilágító erejének erényeit és korlátait szembesítem azzal az etnográfiával, amelyet jól ismerek – az Északkelet-Szibériában élő szahák nagyjószágtartó gazdálkodásával.

Published: November 2023

Effects of combined vitamin E and vitamin C supplement on renal functions, oxidative stress status and Klotho protein levels in hydroxy-l-proline (HLP) induced hyperoxaluria in rats were investigated for 21 days’ duration. The experimental study was divided into two parts; part I and part II. The seventy male Sprague Dawley rats were divided randomly into 5 groups: control (group 1), hyperoxaluric rats (group 2), hyperoxaluric rats with vitamin E supplement (group 3), hyperoxaluric rats with vitamin C supplement (group 4) and hyperoxaluric rats with vitamin E and C supplement (group 5). Hyperoxaluria was induced by feeding hydroxyl-L-proline (HLP) dissolved in drinking water. Intraperitoneal 200 mg/kg of vitamin E was given twice a week in group 3 and 5 while 500 mg of vitamin C was injected intravenously once a week in group 4 and 5. At the end of the study, clearance study was performed in the part I of the study while the vascular perfusion fixation was performed in the part II of the study for collection of the kidney tissues on day 21.

At the end of the study, the results showed that the urinary excretion of oxalate was significantly higher in HLP-treated group when compared with a control group (p<0.05) while it was maintained in group 3 and 5. The glomerular filtration rate (GFR), water and sodium reabsorption at the proximal tubule were drastically decreased in group 2 and improved considerably in group 3, 4 and 5. The total antioxidant status in urine (UTAS) decreased while the levels of malondialdehyde in plasma (PMDA) were significantly increased in group 2 as comparable with group 1 and they were reversed after receiving antioxidant alone or in combination (group 3, 4 and 5). The urinary calcium oxalate crystals increased in group 2 and reduced after receiving vitamin E and/or C (group 3-5). Additionally, vitamin E and/or C stabilized the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the kidney tissue, as comparable with group 2. Plasma and kidney Klotho protein were reduced significantly in group 2 while the vitamin E and/or C was improved the levels of Klotho protein in the plasma and kidney tissues. Furthermore, the histopathology demonstrated that vitamin E and/or C could preserved structural damage of glomerular and tubular part of kidney as compared to group 2. The most improvement of all parameters were seen in group 5 while receiving vitamin E and C which was supported by maintaining kidney GSH level when receiving HLP.

It is concluded that in rats with hyperoxaluria induced by HLP had diminished on renal functions, enhanced oxidative stress status and, lowered Klotho protein levels. Vitamin E and/or C can preserve the kidney functions and histopathology lesions with increased kidney Klotho protein expression especially when giving in combination which may be mediated by antioxidant effects.

Amiodarone (AM) and dronedarone (DR) are class III antiarrhythmic agents that have similar chemical structures, except AM contains iodine molecules. Due to the limited data available in rabbits, the effects of both drugs on heart rate variability (HRV), contractility and thyroid hormone levels were studied. Sixteen male New Zealand white rabbits were used and divided into 2 groups received AM or DR. The rabbits were gavaged either AM or DR at dosages of 50 (AM50, DR50) and 100 mg/kg/day (AM100, DR100) continuously for a period of 7 days each. On the last day of each period, electrocardiograms were recorded from the conscious rabbits, while standard echocardiograms (Echo), speckle tracking echocardiograms (STE) and blood samples were collected from the anesthetized rabbits afterward. The HRV results showed that AM100 and DR100 decreased heart rate, total power, low frequency component, and low to high frequency ratio significantly compared to the baselines. All echocardiographic parameters of both agents in every period were no significant difference from their baselines, except global circumferential plane strain rate at basal segmental level of AM50 that was decreased. Thyroxine levels were significantly increased in AM treatments but decreased in DR treatments of treatment period 1 and 2 compared to their baseline. In conclusion, both AM and DR reduce HRV which may be due to sympathetic suppression. STE may provide more information but not give higher sensitivity than Echo in our study, despite the fact that AM may have more negative inotropic effect than DR in this model. Nevertheless, both drugs produced thyroid dysfunction in the different way, thyrotoxicosis in AM but hypothyroidism in DR.
Multiple arima subsequences aggregate time series Model to forecast cash in ATM
Authors:   , Khanarsa Paisit
Published: November 2023

Presently, ATM is used to conveniently serve customers in financial banking for multiple services such as transfer, deposit, and withdrawal. The main concern of ATM is the lack of banknotes for customer withdrawing. Hence, one of the interesting ATM issues is to forecast cash demand on the individual ATM as a time series data. Typically, the customer cash usage behavior of ATM shows a sway and it often contains a hidden pattern due to multiple customer behaviors. Consequently, this research proposes a new forecasting model for predicting cash amount in ATM, called the multiple ARIMA subsequences aggregate time series model or the MASA model. In the algorithm process, the ATM data is split into the in-sample data for building the MASA model and the out-sample data for evaluating it. To build the MASA model, the aggregate technique is applied using the period of the in-sample data in order to reduce a sway of the time series which is subdivided into the training and the validating data. Then, subsequence patterns are generated and fitted using auto.arima function by the library forecast of the R programming language. They are evaluated using the symmetric mean absolute percentage error (SMAPE) on the validating data. In order to forecast a value of the next time step, the algorithm identifies the time step aggregate group and the best fitted ARIMA model from a subsequence containing that group. The algorithm then disaggregates the forecasted aggregate group value into individual future values using the ratio from the in-sample data. The MASA model is compared using SMAPE with the SARIMA and exponential smoothing model. The comparative analysis shows that the SMAPE of the MASA model is better than both models.
