Ambulatory glucose profile in managing post-prandial hyperglycaemia in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a case report
Authors: Saboo Banshi
Published: January 2020

The case report describes the potential role of real-time Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) in identifying and managing a patient with hyperglycemia. This 55-years-old male patient with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) was presented to the clinic with weakness, increased urinary frequency, with constipation for the past 3 months. The patient was a known case of T2DM for 10 years, along with dyslipidemia, hypertension, and obesity. The profile obtained from AGP revealed glucose fluctuations with post-prandial excursions. Consequently, the patient’s treatment regimen was changed. The use of glimepiride was discontinued, and the patient was recommended with voglibose 0.2 mg bid with two meals, metformin 100 mg + dapagliflozin 10 mg combination with morning meals, and metformin 1000 mg with evening meals. The treatment for hypertension and dyslipidemia was continued. This case study indicates that CGM can help improve our understanding of glycemic patterns and can have a beneficial effect on glycemic control.

Authors: Makkar B. M.
Published: January 2020

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) was done in a 41 years-old female patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) to evaluate the glucose fluctuations, to achieve better glycemic control. The patient presented to the clinic with lethargy, on/off episodes of extreme weakness, sweating, and tingling sensation in the feet (B/L), with leg pains for the past 3 months. She did not have any history of hypertension and cardiovascular disease. On examination, her blood pressure was found to be 120/70 mm Hg. The fasting plasma glucose was 96 mg/dL, postprandial glucose was 160 mg/dL, and glycosylated hemoglobin was 6.8%. The patient was on metformin (500mg)- glimepiride (2mg) combination, once daily, before breakfast, and metformin (500mg) after dinner. Since the symptoms were related to glucose fluctuations and hypoglycemia, the patient was consequently recommended professional CGM to analyze the complete glycemic profile. The profile obtained from Ambulatory Glucose Profile (AGP) revealed glucose fluctuations observed as hypoglycaemia and hyperglycemic episodes. Consequently, the patient’s treatment regimen was changed. The use of glimepiride was discontinued, and the patient was recommended with vildagliptin (50 mg) and metformin combination (1000 mg) bid with meals. This case study indicates that the use of CGM may help in improving our understanding of glycemic patterns and may have a beneficial effect on glycemic control.

A New Popular Front, or, on the Role of Critical Jurisprudence under Neo-Authoritarianism in Central-Eastern Europe
Authors: Tacik Przemysław
Published: January 2020

The current decade brought a neo-authoritarian wave to the countries in CEE. This process, which in certain respects runs parallel to the populist upsurge in Western countries, has its own specificity. Firstly, by focusing on the clash between “elites” and “the people”, it rekindles – in a displaced, right-wing form – the class conflict which before 1989 was an ideological staple in CEE countries. Secondly, insofar as neo-authoritarianism in CEE has often a distinctly neo-liberal agenda shadowed by declarative anti-globalism and national chauvinism, it warps the field of political struggle. Thirdly, in the neo-authoritarian turn law becomes the crucial field of ideological fight, principally in those countries where populists came to power. In this respect, new governments in CEE resort to a blend of old Fascist tools (such as dismantling of constitutional control and denying the primacy of international law) and new inventions (such as the effective state of exception in some areas of law in Poland introduced in 2015–18). The role of critical jurisprudence in CEE is therefore particularly significant and difficult. The paper argues that liberal jurisprudence, although actively engaged in analysing neo-authoritarianism, does not possess adequate conceptual tools for full success. Therefore critical jurisprudence should urgently take part in explaining neoauthoritarianism in the legal field.
Delimiting Central Europe as a Juridical Space: A Preliminary Exercise in Critical Legal Geography
Authors: Mańko Rafał
Published: January 2020

The aim of the present paper is to contribute to the on-going discussion, both in legal theory and in comparative law, concerning the status of Central Europe and its delimitation from other legal regions in Europe, notably Romano-Germanic Western Europe but also Eastern Europe and Eurasia. The paper adopts the methodological perspective of critical legal geography, understood as a strand of critical jurisprudence laying at the interstices of spatial justice studies, critical geography, comparative law, sociology of law and legal history. The paper proceeds by identifying the notion of Central Europe with reference to a specific list of countries, then proposes a number of objective criteria for delimitng Central Europe and applies them in order to highlight the difference between Central Europe and other adjacent legal regions. Following that, the paper enquires as to whether Central Europe should be deemed to be a ‘legal family’, a ‘legal union’ or simply a ‘legal space’ or ‘space of legal culture’.
Ademia: Agamben and the Idea of the People
Authors: Fusco Gian Giacomo
Published: January 2020

In the volume Stasis. Civil War as a Political Paradigm, the Italian philosopher Giorgio Agamben advances the thesis that ademia – the absence of a people (a-demos) – is a constitutive element of the modern state. When confronted with the fact that modern political and juridical thought elevated the people to the role of the sole chief constituent agent and the ultimate source of the legitimacy of constituted orders, this thesis turns out to be rather problematic. In this work, I will explore Agamben’s notion of ademia, retracing the main lines of its theoretical development and reconsidering it in relation to different interpretations of the idea of the people. Most notably, I will demonstrate how Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Carl Schmitt in challenging the conundrums that the idea of the people inevitably entails ended up in revealing the ultimate absence of the people in the political space of the constituted order of the state. In doing so, I will try to show how Agamben’s notion of ademia is helpful is grasping some of the main paradoxes and conundrums underpinning the meaning and the uses of the idea of the people in legal and political thought.
Pedagogies of the Poor: Resisting Resilience in Eastern Europe and Beyond
Authors: Reid Julian
Published: January 2020

This article illustrates the different ways in which the poor are being put to work, in defence of a global neoliberal order by global economic institutions concerned with constructing them as resilient subjects, as well as by opponents of neoliberalism concerned with galvanizing the revolutionary potentials of poor people. In spite of the apparent gulf between neoliberalism and its revolutionary opponents, the poor find themselves subject to remarkably similar strategies of construction by both proponents and opponents of neoliberalism today. This predicament of the poor is particularly vexed in Eastern Europe where strategies of resilience are fast developing, and critical legal theory has so far offered little resistance to this trend. Turning against this tide, this article considers how we might reimagine poverty and conceive its politics beyond and against clichéd images of the poor as resilient subjects. Through an analysis of the work of the Hungarian filmmaker Bela Tarr, it argues for the necessity of images capable of conveying the intolerability of the conditions in which the poor continue to live, as well as the contingency of those conditions; images that serve as interventions on narratives which would reduce the poor to a life of mere resilience.

The Border, the Laggan and the Professor
Authors: Macourt Malcolm
Published: January 2020

The physical boundary (‘the border’) between Northern Ireland and the rest of Ireland has featured as a crucial part in relationships across the island, not least in the negotiations between the UK and the EU over Brexit. 

Under the Anglo-Irish Treaty of December 1921, a Boundary Commission was established with Professor Eoin MacNeill as the representative of the Irish Free State.  It started its work after the civil war in the Irish Free State (1922-23) had ceased.  It almost achieved its objective of a revised border. 

With the agreement of all sides, the major source of data was religion in the 1911 Census, but individual returns were not made available to the Commission.  The areas agreed for transfer involved large majorities of Catholics to the Free State and large majorities of Protestants to the North.  The only exception was the Laggan in northeast Donegal, an area with a small Protestant majority. 

At the last moment MacNeill withdrew, the Commission could not produce a unanimous report, therefore its report was unenforceable and it remained secret for over 40 years.  The 1911 Census forms became available in the new millennium permitting detailed examination of the Laggan. 

This paper addresses the outcomes of the Commission’s work and questions whether there was a particular problem which caused MacNeill to withdraw.  Speculation on MacNeill’s activity in this exercise is offered and related to his official reasons for sinking the Commission.
The Marginality of ‘Irish Mormonism’
Authors: O'Brien Hazel
Published: January 2020

This article builds upon existing literature which demonstrates the complex interconnections of Catholicism, Irishness, and whiteness in the Republic of Ireland. Using this multifaceted inter-relationship between religious, national, and racial identities as its starting point, this article analyses negotiations of Irishness, community, and belonging amongst adherents of Mormonism in Ireland.

This article firstly argues that as members of a minority religion Mormons in Ireland of all backgrounds are stigmatised and marginalised from Irish narratives of ‘belonging’. Secondly, this article determines that as the majority of Mormons in Ireland are white Irish, in keeping with the majority population, they view themselves and are viewed by others as both insiders and outsiders within their own country. Thirdly, this article demonstrates how Mormons in Ireland with racialised identities also navigate a complex system of racial, religious, and national affiliations. Thus, this article establishes that Mormons of all backgrounds in Ireland struggle to gain acceptance and belonging within the national narrative of belonging.

Finally, this article identifies the processes through which Mormons in Ireland work to create belonging to the national narrative. For some, emphasising their identity as Christian is a way to find commonality with the majority Catholic population in Ireland. For others, a celebration and reinterpretation of Irishness is used as a tool to build a dual sense of belonging; to others within an increasingly diverse Mormon community in Ireland, and to the wider society.

Published: January 2020

National Agricultural Insurance Scheme (NAIS) serves as an effective institutional mechanism to cope with production risks. The study has assessed the impact of NAIS on maize farming in Mahaboobnagar district of Telangana. It has a special influence on the utilization of high value inputs, which in turn has contributed towards enhancing returns from farming. It can be observed that insured farmers have invested more on hired human, machine and bullock labour, seeds, manures, fertilizers, plant protection chemicals, etc. than non-insured farmers mainly because of guaranteed compensation from NAIS.

In the busy lifestyle it’s very important to meet the nutrient from a few of sources, for nutritious and healthy diet there is a range of cereals and pulses. Among of them the quinoa has methionine and lysine amino acids. Besides quinoa is considered as a Super Food, majority of the population are still unaware about the dietary benefits of this food. Quinoa can be seen as a complete food for celiac patients too because of its gluten free property. MQB (malted quinoa beverages), have a diabetic and antihypertensive potential and hence, can be effectively included among diet choices for the management of diabetes and hypertension. Starch have higher water-binding capacity and higher swelling power than wheat and barley starch and is highly freeze thaw stable and shows little retrogradation due to low amylase content. The crude fat content in quinoa is 4.4-8.8%, with the essential fatty acids linoleic and linolenic acid accounting for 55 to 63%. After 48 hr of germination, vitamin ‘C’ in enhanced between the range of 10.56 mg/100g and 13.23 mg/100g.

Occurrence of Newcastle disease (ND) and characterization of the Avian Paramyxovirus-1 (APMV-1) amongst backyard fowls (Gallus gallus domesticus) and pigeon (Columba livia domestica) was studied. ND was suspected in two fowl flocks (100% morbidity, 86% mortality) and six pigeon flocks (21.68% morbidity, 14.16% mortality) with respiratory and/or enteric clinical signs in fowls and predominantly neurological signs in pigeons was observed. Cloacal swabs, tissue lysates or infected allantoic fluid could haemagglutinate (HA) chicken erythrocytes and pigeon convalescent serum inhibited haemagglutination (antibody titres >1/16). A 534 bp product was amplified from clinical samples and infected allantoic fluids by Reverse Transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR) targeting a partial Fusion protein gene including its cleavage site. The fowl and pigeon isolate was found to be velogenic and lentogenic respectively by virulence characterization. Fowl isolate grown in chicken embryonated eggs (CEE) showed 10-8.68 Embryo Infectious Dose (EID50) with a Mean Death Time (MDT) of 51.43 h and the Intra-Cerebral Pathogenicity Index (ICPI) in day-old chicks was 1.51. Pigeon isolate had corresponding values of 10-7.20 EID50, MDT of 92.00 h and ICPI of 0.43. Deduced amino acid sequence at Fusion protein cleavage site showed 112R-R-R-K-R*F117 velogenic motif for the fowl isolate and 112G-R-Q-G-R*L117 lentogenic motif for the pigeon isolate. Both isolates were found to be 84.1% related phylogenetically, while fowl isolate clustered with genotype XIII, the pigeon isolate clustered with genotype II and vaccine strains of APMV-1. This is the first instance of APMV-1 characterization in the region with the possibility of a vaccine spill over in pigeons.

Calcium Levels in the Neonate
Authors: Perino Jeanne M.
Published: January 2020

Calcium, the most abundant ion in the neonate, plays a role in bone formation, blood coagulation, muscle contractility, and nerve conduction. Calcium levels are regulated via a negative feedback loop by the parathyroid hormone, calcitonin, and vitamin D. Calcium levels in the neonate must be monitored carefully to avoid complications that affect the central nervous system as well as the cardiac and musculoskeletal systems.

The aim of the study was to research the relationship of chemical and micromorphological properties of soils with the growth ofKochia prostrata. The objects of study were the soils on natural pastures of the North-Western part of the Caspian lowland. It was laid 4 soil pits (soils – light solonetz, solonetzic chestnut) with the maximum penetration depth of the main mass of roots of the studied plants.K. prostratais a very plastic forage species that can grow on soils with a wide range of morphological properties, different salt content and their chemical composition. It is revealed that on the background of almost the same content of humus and high content of exchangeable magnesium micromorphological features represent the different degree of manifestation of primary pedogenic processes – humus accumulation, leaching of soluble salts, gypsum accumulation, carbonate enrichment, solonetzization. Despite the different content of exchangeable sodium, in all soils there are fresh clay or humus-clay illuvial coatings, indicating the manifestation of the modern eluvial-illuvial redistribution of fine matter (lessivage or illimerization).
Identificando áreas de actividad a través del uso de GPR en la costa del Soconusco
Authors: Navarro Castillo Marx , Neff Hector
Published: January 2020

This article is focused on the importance of remote sensing techniques for archaeological studies, specifically LiDAR, and geophysics techniques, such as ground penetrating radar (GPR). The use of LiDAR has become popular in the last ten years and its use in forested places has been very effective despite the low visibility. In the case of GPR, it is generally used in those places where evidence of structure remains can be found. However, in the sites identified by the Project Costa del Soconusco there are no buildings with these characteristics, but their usefulness for the identification of areas of ceramic production have been decisive for the development of our study. These techniques have provided important data that has allowed us to know more about the settlements located in the eastern region of Soconusco.
Los ch’oles y la tierra: redefinición intergeneracional en tiempos de crisis y migración campesina
Authors: Corroy Moral Adriana
Published: January 2020

In this article we seek to describe and analyze the relationship between Ch’ol families and land, focusing on two distinct generational groups, parents and children. Our research method is qualitative, centered on the narratives of our participant subjects and literature review. The results obtained reveal that within a context of crisis and migration from the countryside, intra-familial changes are occurring and resignifying the relationship between Ch'ol people and land. For parents who remain in their home communities the land continues to be vital to their survival, while for young adult children who have integrated into urban contexts or are temporary agricultural migrants for the international market, the land becomes associated with evocation, memory, rest or leisure. Undoubtedly, this suggests a break in the working relationship with the land for each of these generations. This paper will contribute to discuss intersecting issues such as indigenous peoples, land tenure and migration.

Computational Simulations of Similar Probabilistic Distributions to the Binomial and Poisson Distributions
Authors: Frometa-Castillo Terman , Pyakuryal Anil , Wals-Zurita Amadeo , Mesbahi Asghar
Published: January 2020

This study has developed a Matlab application for simulating statistical models project (SMp) probabilistic distributions that are similar to binomial and Poisson, which were created by mathematical procedures. The simulated distributions are graphically compared with these popular distributions. The application allows to obtain many probabilistic distributions, and shows the trend (τ ) for n trials with success probability p, i.e. the maximum probability as τ=np. While the Poisson distribution PD(x;µ) is a unique probabilistic distribution, where PD=0 in x=+∞, the application simulates many SMp(x;µ,Xmax) distributions, where µ is the Poisson parameter and value of x with generally the maximum probability, and Xmax is the upper limit of x with SMp(x;µ,Xmax) ≥ 0 and limit of the stochastic region of a random discrete variable. It is shown that by simulation via, one can get many and better probabilistic distributions than by mathematical one.
