Authors: Khalid Arslan , Rashid Atifa , Hina Saddaf , Tahir Kinza , Karim Sumera Abdul , Rana Muhammad Zafar
Published: October 2022

Aim: The prevalence of neonatal abstinence disorder is increasing, which places a huge strain on the nation's healthcare infrastructure. It's possible that using the usual Finnegan Neonatal Abstinence Scoring System diagnostic technique might result in newborns with NAS receiving needless opioid medication. Researchers came up with a whole new evaluation strategy, and in this paper, we will discuss how it influences the treatment of babies who have NAS. Methods: Researchers took a historical look at the therapy choices made for sixty babies who had been exposed to opioids and were being cared for in the inpatient ward at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in Lahore. While the FNASS scores of all newborns were monitored and recorded every three to seven hours, the Eat, Sleep, and Console assessment strategy were used to control them. Researchers evaluated the actual medical decisions that have been made using the ESC method with the projected treatment decisions that were based on the recorded FNASS scores. The administration of morphine upon delivery was the main outcome. Results: When employing the ESC method, morphine was administered to 8 newborns, which is a sixteen percent success rate. In comparison, the FNASS method predicted that morphine would be administered to 32 infants, which represents a sixty-four percent success rate (P, .002). When compared to the FNASS method's prediction of 90 days (26.8 percent), the ESC method's prediction of starting or increasing morphine administration was accurate 10 days (3.8 percent) earlier (P, .002). It was noted there were no other possible complications or readmissions that occurred. Conclusion: The frequency with which morphine was administered to infants who were handled using the ESC strategy was much lower than the frequency with which it will be administered if FNASS approach had been used. The ESC method is an efficient strategy for care of newborns diagnosed through NAS. This method restricts the use of pharmacologic therapy and has the potential to result in significant decreases in the amount of time spent in the hospital. Keywords: Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, Nation's Healthcare Infrastructure.
The importance of being relational: comparative reflections on relational contracts in Australia and the United Kingdom
Authors: Viven-Wilksch Jessica
Published: October 2022

The notion of the relational contract, previously limited to academic circles, is now being articulated by some courts. The consequences are threefold. Firstly, these judicial decisions are challenging the conception of agreements in the common law. Secondly, these decisions acknowledge the particularity of some long-term commercial relationships and shift the spotlight onto the relations of the parties. Thirdly, they are being used to integrate obligations to act in good faith. This article will show how these decisions implement the developing theory of relational contracts. The article will discuss recent developments in the United Kingdom and Australia and reflect on the parallel course the two jurisdictions are taking. By providing a bird’s-eye view of normative changes affecting some long-term transactions, the aim of the article is to reflect on how contract law is being reshaped by the recognition that, in some contracts, the relationship, not self-interest, is the vital thing, demonstrating a move away from traditional contract law theory.
Prospects for Russia-Pakistan Rapprochement
Authors: Rashid Siddiqi
Published: October 2022

Russia and Pakistan have rarely enjoyed cordial relations in the past. However, in the recent years, the two countries have undertaken some important initiatives to normalise their relations that encompass economic, political as well as military dimensions. The article analyses this developing thaw in Russia-Pakistan relations and assesses its future trajectory in the context of what can be arguably termed as an evolving post-9/11 regional scenario.
Modi’s Kashmir Policy: The Probable Consequence for the Security of South Asia
Authors: Khurshid Khan and Pervaiz Iqbal Cheema
Published: October 2022

India’s decision to pursue an aggressive foreign policy to subdue Pakistan and its tactic to implement such policy entails a perilous course of action. The dangerous brinksmanship between the states since the last two years along the Line of Control (LoC) and the Working Boundary could lead to disastrous consequences. The US’s ever increasing cooperation with India and its lukewarm response to Islamabad’s call, is yet another factor, which encourages New Delhi to adopt an offensive behaviour towards Pakistan. Modi’s Kashmir policy has resulted in failure, causing despondency among the people of the Indian Occupied Kashmir (IOK). Modi’s rigid approach towards Pakistan and the people of IOK continues to irk the Indo-Pak relations. India’s absurd policy towards Pakistan has rather compelled Islamabad to resist, which faded the flexibility and goodwill towards New Delhi shown by it during the past ten years. An unresolved Kashmir issue is a historical fact, which cannot be sidelined and ignored for too long. Even a minor miscalculation by India, in pursuit of its foreign policy objectives for undermining Islamabad’s will to resist, could put the entire region in trouble. India and the international community should, therefore, realise that none of the strategies other than ‘dialogue’ involving all the stakeholders would succeed in resolving the long pending issues including the core issue of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K).

Published: October 2022

Apesar das vantagens oferecidas pelo sistema construtivo Light Steel Framing (LSF), é preciso buscar técnicas e soluções capazes de diminuir as pontes térmicas nos perfis metálicos e contribuir com o desempenho térmico no sistema. Dessa forma, o objetivo desta pesquisa é avaliar numericamente a contribuição de placas de vermiculita em associação a mantas de absorção térmica na redução do fluxo de calor em paredes do sistema LSF. Por meio do software comercial ANSYS, foi analisado o fluxo de calor e a temperatura média em paredes com materiais comumente utilizados no sistema LSF, com e sem placas de vermiculita. A análise foi feita inserindo uma fonte de calor constante a 80 ºC de um lado da parede, durante 20 minutos. O estudo mostrou que a utilização desse material contribuiu com a redução do fluxo de calor médio nas paredes do sistema, bem como com a temperatura média atingida. O uso das placas de vermiculita é capaz de diminuir o consumo energético na edificação, contribuindo com uma construção mais sustentável, reduzindo o uso de aquecedor e/ou ar-condicionado.

Published: October 2022

The choice of residue to be used in the cultivation of a fungal species must take into account the structural and chemical composition of the material in order to be successful in their cultivation. Thus, this study evaluated the physical and chemical characteristics of pineapple and açaí residues and their alterations after the cultivation of two Pleurotus ostreatus strains (474 and 542). The fungi were cultivated in pineapple, açaí, and pineapple + açaí residues, which were added to a mixture of brans, and CaCO3 in the proportion of 78:20:2 w/w/w. The physical and chemical parameters and proximate composition of the residues, and the initial and spent substrates were determined, in addition to being analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction. In general, among the residues tested, the pineapple substrate showed more interesting nutritional characteristics for fungiculture, as well as structural conformation and greater availability of nutrients. The açaí substrate was not suitable for fungal cultivation due to its structural characteristics and high tannin content. In this sense, knowing the characteristics of the material used as a support for mushroom growth is of paramount importance in order to achieve successful cultivation.

Authors: Vasconcelos Milena Brito de , Vilhena Gyzelle Pereira , Mota Alberto de Andrade Reis
Published: October 2022

O câncer de mama é considerado o câncer mais frequente e prevalente em mulheres de todo o mundo, formado pelo desenvolvimento desordenado de células na mama, que se multiplicam rapidamente. É muito provável que dentro de uma patologia neoplásica ocorra o processo de resistência celular tumoral contra os agentes anticancerígenos no decorrer do tratamento, e por consequência, torna-se uma dentre as principais causas de falha terapêutica. Objetivos: Realizar uma revisão de literatura, baseando-se em artigos científicos referência no assunto e buscar uma melhor compreensão dos fatores que podem ocasionar a resistência no tratamento do câncer de mama. Métodos: Trata-se de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, tendo como base de dados artigos extraídos do Google Acadêmico, PubMed e SciELO. Resultados: Com base nos estudos e pesquisas obtidas, analisou-se que a doença que acomete o câncer de mama, abrange uma extensa complexidade de tratamentos, sendo a quimioterapia um dos métodos mais abordados. Apesar de apresentar uma relevante eficácia, o câncer ainda poderá resistir ao tratamento com quimioterápicos e desencadear mutação cancerígena. Considerações finais: É de importante relevância, a necessidade de introdução e expansão de estudos nesta área de pesquisa, com a expectativa de que pesquisadores e estudiosos progridem no desenvolvimento de fármacos que possuem uma maior especificidade em alvos moleculares, para que desta forma, aumente a eficácia terapêutica da quimioterapia.

Published: October 2022

Introduction: Fractures of lower end radius are most common fractures of the upper extremity encountered in practice and constitute 17% of all fractures and 75% of all forearm fractures. These injuries account for approximately one sixth of all fractures seen and treated. In the words of Dr. Abraham Colles “this fracture takes place about an inch and a half above the carpal extremity of the radius and there is a 17% lifetime probability for distal radius fractures”. The majority of these injuries are 'closed', with no evidence of breach of the surrounding skin. Materials and Methods: A prospective study on cases of the fractures of the distal end of the radius, attending the Orthopaedics outdoor and the emergency services of Vinayaka Mission's Kirupananda Variyar Medical College and Hospital, Salem. The fractures were classified according to Modified AO Classification. 25 cases were followed at regular intervals and final assessment was done at 3 months (photographic plate 2). This study was conducted with detailed clinical and radiological analysis after surgical management of fractures of distal end of radius.

“Church, Family, Hard Work, and Dutch Clean”
Authors: Elster Peter
Published: October 2022

This article pictures the youth memories of older Dutch-Americans who grew up in the “Dutch enclave” of Holland, Michigan (USA). This area is heavily populated by Dutch immigrants sharing traditional Calvinist religious values, norms, and beliefs. Findings are based on oral interviews among a sample of older respondents from the area (mean age is 81 yrs.). The study combines a generational approach with an oral history methodology. Results indicate that respondents cherish their formative years, their Calvinist Dutch-American upbringing, and feel that their socialization in strict values, norms and beliefs had lasting effects on their personal life course and life style. Of the two basic ingredients of their cultural identity – Dutch descent and Reformed religion – faith is far more important than ethnicity. Studying narrative youth memories of members of the oldest generation of (Dutch) Americans is a fascinating topic for social scientists as this generation is about to be replaced and their stories will soon be forgotten.

Authors: Tasdelen Halil
Published: October 2022

Transversus abdominis release (TAR) is the newest approach that allows effective myofascial mobilization, creating a large retromuscular space and wide mesh overlap to repair complex and large incisional ventral hernias. This article narrates the technical details and results of the TAR technique performed in a single center. The present study is a retrospective analysis of a prospective dataset from 25 patients who underwent posterior component separation (PCS) with TAR procedure for large incisional ventral hernias between October 2017 and July 2021. The minimum follow-up period was ten months. Twenty-five patients (five male, 20 female) with a mean age of 61.2 years, a mean BMI of 32.2 kg/m2, and a median ASA score of 2.0 underwent the TAR procedure. Fifteen (60%) patients had a history of incisional hernia surgery. The mean surgical time was 248 minutes. The mean total defect and mesh areas were 187.4 (90-500) cm2 and 1141.8 (750-2250) cm2, respectively. The mean visual analog scale (VAS) pain score on the first postoperative day was 4.5 and the median hospital length of stay (LOS) was 5 days. There were three (12%) surgical site infections (SSIs), two of which were deep infections that needed debridement. During the follow-up period (median of 26 months), two (8%) recurrences were recorded. The TAR technique represents an effective and safe repair modality of large and complex incisional hernias. TAR is an essential addition to the repertoire of the surgical community.
Some features of the “educated – uneducated” opposition in stories by Nguyen Huy Thiep
Authors: Filimonova Tatiana N.
Published: October 2022

A specific artistic feature of stories by Ngueyn Huy Thiep (19502021) is the opposition town village, which often attaches to the opposition educated uneducated, or intellectuals common people. However, the opposition of educated people and uneducated one has a number of peculiarities. Thus, in the stories of the present time we find the opposition intellectuals common people, but in historical stories uneducated common people are opposed by Confucians (nh nho), representatives of educated class typical of traditional Vietnam. At the same time, in a number of stories the educated uneducated opposition has been transformed into the public person (con người x hội) natural person (con người tự nhin) opposition. Once again this confirms the conclusion that hostility to educated people is one of obvious ideological dominants being the conceptual base of the writers work.

Authors: Rani Mamta , Yogi Anil Kashyap , Deo Guru
Published: October 2022

Every human being in the world is unique creation of this universe and one is born with specific qualities and characteristics. If we are not able to use the hereditary and acquired qualities to increase our efficiency, then these qualities have no meaning in the life. In this context, the importance of life skills in the field of education is being explained today. Life skills education provides the person with the skills to face the conflicts that come in life. This creates the foundation of a cultured society that is prudent. Even scholars in modern times admit that although the current education system is familiar with these life skills principles, most of these have been developed by Western countries. While there is a comprehensive description of life skills pervading in ancient Indian scriptures. The theoretical perspective of those aspects are compiled and presented here with examples related to life skills described in the Ramcharitmanas. The current attempts may serve as a guide for moral, spiritual and social advancement in education needed in current learning system. Theoretical presentation may be contributory to the current battery of knowledge in the areas of life skill exploration in the contexts of ancient scriptures.

Abstrak

Demokrasi dan keadilan di Indonesia merupakan keniscayaan yang telah di Undang Undangkan. Maka, pelaksanaan dari demokrasi dan keadilan di Indonesia harus memberikan kebermanfaatan yang besar. Dalam kebermanfaatan tersebut akan membawa dampak yang baik terhadap legitimasi dari penguasa atau pemerintahan dalam hal birokrasi. Permasalahan yang terjadi yaitu pemerintah dalam hal kekuasaan birokrasi haruslah memanfaatkan aspek demokrasi dan keadilan untuk memberikan manfaat yang sebesar-besarnya dengan memperhatikan rasionalitas sehingga legitimasinya terjaga. Demokrasi dan keadilan merupakan aspek yang dekat dengan rakyat sehingga hasil yang diharapkan dari demokrasi haruslah sesuai dengan hati nurani rakyat. Namun, sebaliknya dengan yang diharapkan, bahwa legitimasi yang seharusnya dijaga oleh pemerintah tidak dimanfaatkan dengan baik, karena aspek demokrasi dan keadilan yang justru dekat dengan rakyat seperti tidak menunjukkan eksistensinya. Oleh karena itu, dalam artikel ini akan mencoba mengulas terkait hubungan ketiganya yaitu antara demokrasi, keadilan, serta paham utilitarianisme dengan fakta-fakta yang didukung informasi dari media yang tersedia. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik deskriptif dan pengambilan data melalui literatur kepustakaan dan informasi atau berita dari media yang tersedia sehingga analisis dari peneliti dapat memberikan gambaran mengenai hubungan ketiganya.

Abstract

Democracy and justice in Indonesia is a necessity that has been enacted. Thus, the implementation of democracy and justice in Indonesia must provide great benefits. In this usefulness, it will have a good impact on the legitimacy of the authorities or government in terms of bureaucracy. The problem that occurs is that the government in terms of bureaucratic power must take advantage of aspects of democracy and justice to provide the maximum benefit by paying attention to rationality so that legitimacy is maintained. Democracy and justice are aspects that are close to the people so that the expected results of democracy must be in accordance with the conscience of the people. However, contrary to what is expected, the legitimacy that should be maintained by the government is not used properly, because the aspects of democracy and justice which are close to the people do not seem to show their existence. Therefore, in this article, we will try to review the relationship between the three, namely between democracy, justice, and utilitarianism with facts that are supported by information from the available media. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive techniques and data collection through literature and information or news from available media so that the analysis of the researchers can provide an overview of the relationship between the three.
