Les présentes Directives de 2023 pour le contrôle et la gestion de l’encrassement biologique des navires en vue de réduire au minimum le transfert d’espèces aquatiques envahissantes visent à fournir une approche cohérente à l’échelle mondiale de la gestion de l’encrassement biologique.
Cape Town Agreement of 2012
Authors:   International Maritime Organization
Published: July 2024

The safety of fishers and fishing vessels forms an integral part of IMO’s mandate; however, the fishing industry, from a global perspective, does not have an acceptable safety record and, while there may be a number of factors that have contributed to this, there can be no doubt that the lack of an effective internationally binding regulatory regime has played a significant part in the status quo. The Cape Town Agreement of 2012 was a renewed commitment for the provisions of the 1993 Torremolinos Protocol to come into force and is expected to play an important part in improving safety standards and reducing the loss of life in the fisheries sector.

International Code of Signals
Authors:   International Maritime Organization
Published: July 2024

Codes of signals have been published since the beginning of the 19th century to provide mariners with an internationally accepted, common system for communication at sea. Each signal within the International Code of Signals has a complete meaning, which ensures that specific situations related to safety can be clearly communicated through various means, even when language difficulties arise.
Since its first edition, published in 1965, amendments to the Code have been adopted by the Maritime Safety Committee of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) resulting in four subsequent editions. The fourth edition of the Code (2005 edition) incorporated all amendments up to MSC 73 in December 2000. The International Code of Signals has not been amended since its fourth edition and this current edition comprises only minor editorial improvements and a new cover. Therefore, both the 2005 edition and this edition of the Code are considered equally valid.

PROGRAM SIMPLE DIGITAL ARCHIVES UNTUK TATA KELOLA KEARSIPAN KANTOR URUSAN AGAMA KECAMATAN BANJARBARU UTARA
Authors: Nuraini Dewi Fauziah , Muniba Rahmah Haifa , Salsabila
Published: July 2024

Penelitian ini menerangkan bagaimana program simple digital archives jika diterapkan pada kegiatan kearsipan perkantoran yang dalam penelitian ini adalah kantor urusan agama. Pada semua produk-produk yang keluar dari Kantor Urusan Agama, disetiap sisinya terdapat banyak pion-pion administratif yang tidak dapat terlepas yang tentunya akan mempengaruhi kegiatan kearsipan. Seiring waktu, keterbatasan sumber daya manusia serta sarana dan prasarana yang tidak sepenuhnya memadai menjadi kendala dalam menciptakan kearsipan kantor yang sistematis dan efektif serta efisien yang seharusnya menjadi standar serta dibutuhkan dalam tata pengelolaan sebuah kearsipan . Dalam penelitian ini penulis menggunakan metode penelitian terapan (applied research) dengan sifat penelitian kualitatif deskriptif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa bagaimanapun metode kearsipannya, antara kearsipan manual dan elektronik adalah dua hal yang saling melengkapi, oleh karena itu harus cermat dalam pelaksanaannya. Pemaksimalan kearsipan secara manual kini dirasa sudah kurang relevan, sedangkan kearsipan secara elektronik belum sepenuhnya dilaksanakan. Simple digital archives dirancang dan dapat dioperasikan sebagai tindak lanjut dari kearsipan manual, setelah kearsipan manual dijalankan dengan cermat sebagaimana mestinya, dilanjutkan dengan simple digital archives, agar terciptanya administrasi dan kearsipan kantor urusan agama yang lebih mudah dan lebih tertib.
El Método Mixto para la investigación social

Published: July 2024

El desarrollo del artículo elucida diversas perspectivas teóricas en torno a la ventaja para el Trabajo Social de realizar estudios con una perspectiva híbrida que coadyuve a conocer y comprender los fenómenos de manera holística e integral. La combinación de los enfoques cuantitativo y cualitativo en el diseño de una investigación mixta da cuenta de la nueva tendencia y necesidad de las ciencias sociales en el sentido de trascender los estudios positivistas, señalados hasta hace muy poco como únicos con validez para pasar al conocimiento de la realidad social con un enfoque más humanista donde se conjuguen la generalidad del dato y el significado de la experiencia de quienes están inmersos en lo investigado. Para ello, se toma como referencia la metodología implementada en el proyecto de investigación Construcción de resiliencia ante los riesgos psicosociales en la interacción social de los Niños, Niñas y Adolescentes (NNA) en movilidad realizado en Saltillo Coahuila. Estudio llevado a cabo con población en movilidad, específicamente con niñas, niños y adolescentes y sus familias en situación tanto en tránsito como en refugio, así como con los cuidadores institucionales, que les ofrecen atención, representados por el personal de la Casa del Migrante y del Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Refugiados (ACNUR) a través de la Oficina de soluciones duraderas ubicado en la misma ciudad. De esta forma, la presente propuesta gira en torno a proponer la viabilidad de los modelos mixtos haciendo la reflexión y discusión teórica en torno a ello y a su vez, elucidar el procedimiento llevado cabo durante la investigación, como una alternativa metodológica en estudios de similar naturaleza.
Lack of conformity of the goods with the contract under Slovak legislation
Authors: Moravcová Dominika
Published: July 2024

Consumer protection is a fundamental issue covered by the EU acquis in internal markets. Despite the efforts to approximate the legal regulations of the Member States in this area, there are still disparities between their legal systems regarding selected consumer protection issues. A relatively new EU directive has established a minimum standard around lack of conformity of the goods within the EU. The Slovak Republic has not yet transposed the directive into its national legislation. Is the legislation in this area in Slovakia set in a Euro-conform manner or is it necessary to adopt new provisions in this field?

Financial Autonomy of Local Self-Governments Considering the European Charter of Local Self-Government
Authors: Pál Ádám
Published: July 2024

The article is devoted to the Council of Europe’s European Charter of Local Self-Government as a unique international document serving as a basis on which the systems of local self-government are built all over Europe. The author aims to provide insight into the processes within the Council of Europe, which led to its adoption, to describe its character, to identify its advantages and shortcomings, and to evaluate its overall significance as a vital benchmark for measuring the degree of local self-government across the continent. The focus of this article is on the importance of the Charter from the perspective of local authorities’ financial autonomy. The author investigates how the issue of financing is generally perceived by the Charter and the related documents, while most of this study is dedicated to the individual provisions of the Charter concerning the various aspects of financial autonomy, from the general adequacy of funds to more specific issues such as the equalisation mechanisms or the right to borrow from the capital market. Using the documents issued by the Council of Europe bodies, and the opinions of scholars dealing with the topic, the author scrutinises, what kind of obligations arise from the respective provisions, also touching upon how well the ratifying states implement these obligations.
Introduction and Evaluation of Slovenian Space Activity, Policy, and Legislation Considering International Space Law
Authors: Ramuš Cvetkovič Iva
Published: July 2024

The examination of the development of space activities on a global scale, identifies several trends. One of them is the transition from dualism to multilateralism – from the Cold War, when only the two world superpowers of the time were active in space, to a situation where several countries are joining the now already large circle of spacefaring nations. Recently, Slovenia has followed the trend, and has in the last three years successfully launched three satellites, drawn out its space policy, and adopted its first space legislation. As it was one of the first countries in the region to do so, it can serve as a learning tool for other states wishing to embark on the same journey, enabling them to take a critical perspective and optimise their efforts. This study briefly presents Slovenian space activity, policy, and legislation. This study focuses on the legislative part, which presents and examines the compliance with international law. Based on this, certain improvements can be made and other states can decide how to draw their own national legislation governing space activities.
Casual Beliefs of Mental Illness and Psychiatric Skepticism as Predictors of Help Seeking Behavior and Mental Health Literacy in Lebanon
Authors:   , El Zein Christine
Published: July 2024

Previous research has shown that there is a high prevalence of mental disorders and low treatment seeking behavior prevailing globally and more noticeably in the Arab region including Lebanon, and Causal beliefs of mental illness were reported to influence help-seeking behavior. Also, research has shown that psychiatric skepticism is existing in Lebanon and it is associated with lower levels of mental health literacy and more negative attitudes towards professional help seeking behavior and a considerable number of patients suffering from a mental illness choose to seek treatment from the general health sector (i.e. physicians and general practitioners) instead of seeking help from the mental health sector. As such, the purpose of this study is to examine the psychosocial, biological and supernatural including religious causal beliefs of mental illness and their effect on the attitudes held towards professional help seeking behavior, to investigate the relationship between psychiatric skepticism and level of mental health literacy as well as attitudes held towards help seeking behavior among the Lebanese participants and to examine the level of health literacy prevalent among the Lebanese participants and compare it to their level of mental health literacy. This is a quantitative survey study design. Six hypothesis were tested using a sample of 206 participants with the majority of participants’ age ranging between 20 and 30 years old; participants were recruited through convenience and snowball sampling. Data was collected through the administration of five questionnaires, The Mental Health Literacy Scale (MHLS)(2015), Attitudes Toward Seeking Psychological Help – Short Form (ATSPPH-SF) (1995), Mental Distress Explanatory Model Questionnaire (MDEMQ) (1990), Psychiatric Skepticism Scale (PSS) (2011) and All Aspects of Health Literacy Scale (AAHLS)(2013). The results yielded no significant correlation between each of the causal beliefs of mental illness (biological, psychosocial and spiritual/religious causal beliefs) and attitudes towards psychological help. Also, no significant correlation was obtained between psychiatric skepticism and each of mental health literacy and attitudes towards psychological help. A statistically significant difference was obtained between mental health literacy and biological health literacy in the sample. Findings, limitations and implications were discussed at the end of the study.
Courtship Length, Communication Patterns and, Religiosity as Predictors of Marital Satisfaction among a Sample of Adults in Lebanon
Authors:   , Pasha Ayla
Published: July 2024

Although many studies have sought to investigate predictors of marital satisfaction, a majority of these studies have been done in the Western context (Alder, 2010; Marks, 2005; Rois, 2010). Therefore, the aim of the current study was to evaluate whether certain premarital and concurrent variables act as predictors of marital satisfaction in Lebanon. The predictor variables to be studied are: courtship length, communication patterns (the 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse theory) and, religiosity. The study was a quantitative survey design using a purposeful convenient sample consisting of 318 participants in heterosexual marriages lasting for more than one year and under 10 years. The questionnaire administered consisted of a demographic section, consent form, modified 4 Horseman of the Apocalypse questionnaire, Revised Intrinsic/Extrinsic Religious Orientation Scale (ROS) and the Quality Marital Index. It was hypothesized that religiosity and courtship length are positively correlated with marital satisfaction whereas negative communication patterns are negatively correlated with marital satisfaction. Results of the study showed that length of courtship, presence of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse and religiosity were predictors of marital satisfaction.
The Effect of Global Mental Health Literacy on Multidimensional Treatment Outcome Measures: A Cross-sectional Quantitative Survey Study among Lebanese Adult Service Users in Lebanon
Authors:   , Kazazian Bedros Sarkis
Published: July 2024

It has been estimated that around 25% of the Lebanese population meet the criteria for at least one mental health condition and only 15% seek treatment. Barriers to treatment can include lack of availability, accessibility and affordability of treatment. In Lebanon, even when such factors are account for, studies have shown that the most cited barrier to care is the lack of perceived need for treatment – a key indicator of low Mental Health Literacy (MHL). Delays in help-seeking can lead to a number of adverse outcomes including deterioration in the quality of life and poorer treatment outcomes. Furthermore, among those who sought help in Lebanon, 13% reported that dissatisfaction with previous services was the main reason for not seeking help. Given inadequate quality assurance mechanisms for Psychotherapy, a shortage of evidence-based practitioners, and distrust in the quality of mental health services service users could be at risk of experiencing adverse treatment outcomes. Studies linking MHL to treatment outcomes have not yet been conducted in Lebanon, despite that studies on MHL globally have shown that a higher MHL has been associated with better identification of mental health conditions, more positive attitudes towards service use, more effective help-seeking behaviors, improved mental health service utilization, better mental health treatment outcomes, and higher overall wellbeing. The purpose of this study was to examine whether a higher MHL predicted better service user-centered treatment outcome measures and lower perceptions of adverse outcomes in a sample of 97 Lebanese adult service users. A single-stage cross-sectional quantitative survey design methodology was used with purposive and convenience sampling procedures to obtain data, and data was analyzed using single and multiple regression analyses. The results revealed mental health literacy was found to be a significant positive predictor of treatment outcomes. Furthermore, help-seeking was the strongest positive predictor of wanted effects from psychotherapy and it also was a significant negative predictor of malpractice and unethical conduct. The results, however, showed that self-help was not a significant predictor of wanted effects and side-effects resulting from Psychotherapy. Interestingly, erroneous beliefs/stereotypes were found to be the lowest positive predictor of positive effects but were not found to be a significant predictor of side-effects. These results have strong implications for public health officials, mental health professionals, policy makers, researchers, service users, and on improving mental health service provision and organization in Lebanon.
Idiopathic Atypical Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome: A Case Report
Authors: Joy Bincy , Soni Pankaj
Published: July 2024

Thrombotic microangiopathies (TMAs) are a spectrum of disorders characterized by hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and formation of microthrombi in blood vessels, resulting in tissue injury due to compromised blood flow. This classical presentation of TMA is characterized by varying degrees of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia (MAHA), thrombocytopenia, and ischemic damage to the brain, kidneys, heart, lungs and GI tract. TMA can be classified into different types based upon the etiology and pathogenesis like thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), Complement mediated TMA (atypical Hemolytic uremic syndrome [aHUS]), infection associated TMA (shiga toxin producing E.coli, streptococcus pneumoniae) secondary to systemic causes like malignancy, autoimmune diseases and medications. In this article, we discuss a case of a female diagnosed with aHUS with acute kidney injury complicated by hypertension and severe anemia. As aHUS is known to be associated with high mortality and morbidity, prompt recognition of aHUS is crucial for efficient treatment. Here we have discussed the clinical presentation, histopathological hallmarks, and the diagnostic approach for TMA.
Misleading Trails: Uncovering Systemic Mastocytosis Disguised as Eosinophilic Gastrointestinal Disorder - A Case Report

An uncommon class of illnesses known as mastocytosis is defined by aberrant mast cells in different tissues or organs. It encompasses mast cell sarcoma, systemic mastocytosis, and cutaneous mastocytosis. For those without advanced manifestations of the disease, the diagnosis of Systemic Mastocytosis can be protracted due to the high rate of symptom overlap with other illnesses. A 56-year-old female patient was brought to our department for a diagnosis because of her history of eosinophilia, chronic colitis, and skin allergies. The patient's eosinophilia remained in spite of treatment. The patient's blood count revealed persistent eosinophilia even after five months. An examination of the bone marrow aspirate showed a hypercellular bone marrow with a noticeable eosinophilic prominence. To our astonishment, the trephine biopsy showed sheets and nodules of mast cells, expressing strong positivity for CD117 immunostain. A review of the colonic biopsy also showed a significant mast cell presence as highlighted by CD117 immunostain. A definitive diagnosis of systemic mastocytosis was reached, indicating that, in situations of eosinophilia, a low index of suspicion and meticulous morphological examination are necessary to prevent delays in the diagnosis of mastocytosis, particularly in cases where there is no cutaneous involvement.
