Published: June 2024

The Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is still one of the main health problems of Indonesian society. Usually, this disease which originates from the Aedes aegypti and Aedes albopictus mosquitoes often occurs during the rainy season. The number of dengue fever cases in Bangkalan for the period 1-20 January 2023 was recorded at 27 cases with 1 death. Community concern for the surrounding environment is one of the factors in increasing healthy living behavior. There is a need to increase public awareness of the environmental conditions of slum settlements in preventing Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in residential environments. In general, the implementation of community service uses the participatory observation method. The participatory observation method has several stages, including: 1) Initial observation. 2) Participation. 3) Observation. 4) Reflection. 5) Analysis and interpretation. Community service related to preventing dengue fever outbreaks is carried out through providing education regarding environmental cleanliness and health to mothers in the Gili Anyar Kamal Bangkalan Village area through 3 (three) stages, namely: 1) pre-test to determine the audience's level of understanding regarding environmental health and dengue fever; 2) education about health and environmental health, prevention methods and community participation in handling dengue fever; 3) post-test to measure the mother's knowledge after carrying out community service activities. The results of the outreach were proven to increase public understanding regarding Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever with an increase in scores of 35.8%. In order to combat dengue fever, community participation is very important. By taking steps to prevent the spread of dengue fever, communities can help fight this disease and protect their personal health and that of their surrounding communities
The Melting of Patent Law
Authors: Moglen Eben
Published: June 2024

In this special comment, the author posits that the patent system as it stands is archaic and oppressive, and has neither intellectual nor moral support. Having veered away from its original goals, by virtue of the change in the technological and functional basis of government, it instead serves as a justification for inequalities of wealth distribution. The author argues that substantial reform is required that would shift the balance in patent law from monopolistic greed to public interest, paving the way for access to knowledge.
Data Exclusivity With Regard To Clinical Data
Authors: Sharma Animesh
Published: June 2024

Intellectual property rights have evolved over the years with the intention of protecting novelty and innovation of ideas while creating a competitive market, at both a local and global level. The strongest tools to achieve this end have arguably been patents – protecting inventions that are novel, non-obvious and demonstrate utility. Most countries give a protection term of twenty years from the date of filing a valid submission. In the field of pharmaceuticals, foods and agrochemicals, marketing of products requires statutory clearances from the appropriate national regulatory bodies, in order to ensure that the products satisfy certain minimum criteria of quality and safety. Generating such data generally involves elaborate experimentation, trials in various phases, chemical analysis, and an estimation of the impact on the environment, all of which are time-consuming and expensive processes. Thus the intellectual property right of data exclusivity becomes important, as it involves the question of whether these processes, once completed, can be taken advantage of by other applicants. This paper analyses the concept of data exclusivity, studying article 39 of TRIPS, and addresses the question of whether data exclusivity laws should be introduced in India.

Authors: Braverman Burt A
Published: June 2024

VoIP is an innovative new form of telephony that can dramatically enhance both the efficiency and functionality of telephone service to businesses and individuals around the globe. Regulators worldwide are now faced with the choice of whether to impose inapt, antiquated monopoly-based telecom regulations on VoIP or to exercise regulatory restraint and allow this dynamic communications medium to flourish. This article examines some of the technical aspects of VoIP, and considers why this new technology is rapidly gaining popularity in both industrialised and developing nations alike. The article also analyses the changes in the regulatory environment in the United States, including major rulings by the Federal Communications Commission and federal courts that have occurred in the wake of VoIP's rise in popularity and cross-platform acceptance. Finally, the article looks at some of the issues that regulators in other countries, including India, must address as the legal framework relevant to VoIP continues to evolve.

Conflito ou conciliação? Efeitos da legislação e regulação na ineficiência e nos indicadores financeiros de firmas privadas no setor de saneamento
Authors: Medeiros Rodrigo de Vasconcellos Viana
Published: June 2024

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar os efeitos da legislação e regulação sobre a ineficiência de custos e indicadores financeiros das operadoras privadas de saneamento. A estratégia empírica adotada foi a fronteira de custo estocástica que divide os níveis de ineficiência em dois componentes (variável e permanente) além de regressões para dados em painel. Os principais resultados encontrados mostraram que a ineficiência variável das firmas pode ser reduzida aumentando a tarifa média praticada e a suficiência de caixa. Em relação a ineficiência permanente, as firmas regionais e localizadas no Sudeste são aquelas com os menores níveis desse indicador. Quando analisado os resultados para os indicadores financeiros, as evidências apontam que a eficiência permanente e a combinação da existência de regulação com planos municipais de saneamento concluídos são capazes de aumentar a liquidez corrente e reduzir o endividamento geral das firmas. Entretanto, isoladamente, a regulação pode reduzir o ROE dessas firmas. Tais resultados evidenciam a importância do trabalho em conjunto entre regulados, poder legislativo e regulação.

Authors: Peregud-Pogorzelska Małgorzata , Zielska Małgorzata , Busch Mathias , Jachymek Magdalena , Kiedrowicz Radosław , Kaźmierczak Jarosław
Published: June 2024

Available data indicate that the incidence, clinical course, diagnosis and treatment of supraventricular arrhythmias show marked gender-dependent differences. Gender-dependent peculiarities in the electrophysiological properties of the heart and very complex hormonal influences in women are cited as potential reasons for the higher incidence of most arrhythmias in women and the different clinical course. The differences put women at a disadvantage compared to men in the diagnostic and treatment process. To improve this situation, we have proposed and are already running the project “Women’s Heart – a cross-border two-center study of cardiac arrhythmias in women – POL-GER Rytmia”, financed by the European Union under the Interreg VA program.

Deste modo, o intuito deste estudo é ressaltar os malefícios causados por este método contraceptivo através de uma revisão bibliográfica e um relato de caso com o objetivo de oferecer embasamento para a conscientização e tomada de decisões mais seguras com relação ao manejo reprodutivo de cadelas. Foi atendida na clínica veterinária da Universidade Evangélica de Goiás – UNIEVANGÉLICA, uma paciente da espécie canina, sem raça definida, apresentando secreção vulvar de consistência mucosa por mais de 30 dias; a fêmea apresentava comportamento de lambedura da região vulvar e a proprietária relata ter administrado progestágenos injetáveis, os sintomas apareceram posteriormente à aplicação. Ao realizar os exames complementares, o hemograma evidenciou quadro de leucocitose (27,50 103/mm3) por neutrofilia (17.875 103/mm3), e no exame ultrassonográfico percebeu-se aumento uterino com presença de conteúdo hipoecoico à anecoico. Devido a constatação de hiperplasia endometrial cística/piometra, a fêmea foi submetida à OH (ovariohisterectomia) de urgência. Com base nesse relato de caso e na literatura, é visto que a administração de anticoncepcional é nociva para a espécie canina, uma vez que essa prática pode acarretar grande risco de morte, sendo assim preferível o uso de outros métodos contraceptivos.

SOSYAL PSİKOLOJİ VE DİJİTALLEŞME İLİŞKİSİNE APOKALİPTİK DİSTOPYA ÜZERİNDEN BİR YAKLAŞIM: AVENUE 5 DİZİSİ
Authors: Yegen Ceren
Published: June 2024

Bilim kurgu türde sıkça gözlenen distopya, teması ve kurgusu çerçevesindeki alt bağlamıyla bir eleştiridir. Karamsarlık, olumsuzluk üzerinden bir hikâye anlatan ya da (olası) görünüm sunan distopik medya çıktıları toplumun, sistemin bulunduğu ya da vardığı noktayı korku, panik gibi argümanlar üzerinden yordadığı gibi zaman zaman absürtlükler üzerinden de yordar. Distopik evrenin yarattığı gelecek apokaliptik ve post-apokaliptik nitelikler taşır. Teknoloji ile yaratılan sona ilişkin çıkış yolu, kurtulma aracı da yine teknolojidir. Diyalektik görünen bu ilişki, zaman zaman fantazmagorik anlatıları da kullanır. Nitekim bazı distopik medya çıktılarında aldatıcı görüntüler, sonu gelen ya da gelmiş olan evrende olan biteni hakikat algısını sorgulatarak verir; distopazlar, otoriter karakterler dikkat çeker, simüle edilmiş bir evren tasvirinde bireyin içsel yabancılaşma gibi kaçınılmaz sonda otorite karşısında itaate yöneldiği de görülür. Entropik bir süreç olarak distopik kurguda krizler ve kaos vardır ve toplum korku, panik ile yordanır. Bu çalışmada, Milgram’ın “Otoriteye İtaat Deneyi”nden hareketle sosyal psikoloji ve dijitalleşme ilişkisi, gezegenler arası yolculuğun işlendiği bir dizi olan Avenue 5 örnekleminde otoriteye itaat ve grup psikolojisini anlamak amacıyla betimsel analiz tekniği ile incelenmiştir. İnceleme sonucunda, dijitalleşmenin sayısız olanağının gösterildiği Avenue 5’da yaratılan distopik geleceğin absürd olduğu, bireyin büründüğü rol çerçevesinde kendisine yabancılaşabildiği, otoriteye itaat ve grup psikolojisi noktasındaki uyma davranışının ise bireyler arası kolektif unsurlar ile ilişkili olduğu söylenebilir.

Published: June 2024

In literature, the role of institutions in stimulating FDI inflows has been documented. This study examined the contributions of two institutional-quality variables, regulatory quality and the rule of law, in attracting FDI in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The study used an annual series covering the period from 2000 to 2020 using three different estimation techniques: the panel ARDL, the panel FMOLS, and the panel DOLS. Findings reveal that while the rule of law had a negative and significant impact on FDI inflows under the panel ARDL and FMOLS, the impact of regulatory quality was negative and significant under the panel ARDL and DOLS. The short-run ARDL results revealed that only the population growth rate positively and significantly impacted FDI inflows. However, in the long run, findings showed that while the population growth rate had a positive and significant impact on FDI inflows under the ARDL, the impact of GDP was positive and significant in all the models. The exchange rate was also found to negatively and significantly impact FDI inflows in all the models. The study consequently recommends building strong institutions through collaboration among the member countries while improving human capital and economic growth.
Public Spending and Sustainable Human Development in Cameroon: Does corruption matter?
Authors: Hamadou Issa , Karim Abdoul
Published: June 2024

This study analyzes the effect of public spending on Human capital on human development in Cameroon by controlling the impact of corruption. After using quantitative methods, the ARDL model was applied with the bounds testing approach with time series data from 2000 to 2021. The results indicated that public spending on education and health positively impacts the change in the human development index. Similarly, economic growth (GDP) positively affects the variation of the human development index. Meanwhile, corruption and foreign direct investment (FDI) negatively correlate with the human development index. However, these results are only valid in the short term. In the long term, there is no relationship between the variables. The government should increase the expenditure budget and expand the target sector to reach the industry needed for human development. An improvement could follow this implementation in transparency in fiscal policy management, which can help reduce the corruption perception index. One of the limitations of this research is the use of a short observation period due to data availability. Therefore, the relationship between public expenditure, corruption, and human development in the CEMAC zone is another critical issue that could be investigated.

Thirty-seven percent of sixth year students presented higher frequency of anxiety, depression and stress in some of their levels, followed by fifth year with 35% and fourth year with 29%. Conclusions: Symptoms of depression, anxiety and stress were more frequent in female students under 25 years of age who were in their last years of medical school
Traditional ancestral midwifery of the Guarani culture. Construction of dialogues and knowledge
Authors: López Liliana Estela
Published: June 2024

Traditional Guarani midwifery has sustained and still sustains the entire ancestral health system of the communities, with millenary knowledge and wisdom that have given life to several generations. It is important to strengthen and defend these practices so that they do not disappear and are not assimilated by the conventional and hegemonic health system, for which professional teams have the great challenge of building from cultural diversity. The intercultural approach in health leads to broaden the field of action and to analyze the methodological and pedagogical tools to promote rapprochement and complementarity between both medicines. In this article, a synthesis will be provided from the research from the nursing praxis and in a human rights approach of the Indigenous Peoples, on the subject of the Traditional Ancestral Midwifery of the Peasant and Indigenous Mbya Guarani, taking into account the specific cultural practices of each territorial identity, in the communities, in order to understand the needs and the contributions of the ancestral knowledge of the wise men and women of this population. The author declares herself to be a professional of Guarani origin, whose family traditionally practiced midwifery and ancestral birth medicine in the region of Fulgencio Yegros and Taruma Paraguay.

Published: June 2024

Introdução: Comunicar um óbito para uma mãe é desafio para os profissionais de saúde, já que à informação terá impacto negativo na experiência das pessoas envolvidas. Trata-se, então, de uma condição delicada, que exige atenção às particularidades da notícia que será comunicado, da pessoa e dos familiares que receberão a notícia. A maneira como a má notícia é transmitida repercute nas reações imediatas das pessoas envolvidas e no desenrolar da elaboração mental frente ao evento adverso. O momento de comunicar à paciente óbito é delicado, na medida em que gera ansiedade e insegurança no profissional encarregado de transmitir esta má notícia. Método: Trata-se de um estudo quantitativo, descritivo de análise de dados. Foi usado como critérios de inclusão artigos completos usando os seguintes descritores de assunto: luto, assistência perinatal, mulheres, retirados dos últimos 10 anos. A base de dado utilizadas foi a Base de Dados da Enfermagem (BDENF). Os critérios de exclusão foram artigos que não correspondiam aos anos de publicação e que não fossem completos e indexados na base de dados. Resultados: Foram encontrados 3 artigos completos:  1 artigo de monografia, 1 artigo de tese e 1 artigo completo. Foi detectado somente um na língua inglesa, enquanto os demais na vernácula portuguesa. Observa-se pela leitura que a equipe de enfermagem necessita de melhores ações frente ao luto perinatal e o auxílio às famílias que presenciam o luto. Conclusão: Nota-se que a atuação da equipe de enfermagem frente à assistência prestada à mulher perante o óbito fetal precisa ser específica e especializada. É de suma importância que o profissional da saúde humanize o atendimento dessa mãe, pois a enfermagem está diretamente ligada à assistência ao luto materno. A abordagem humanizada, a dor emocional e física, são atributos da equipe de enfermagem nas tratativas assistenciais e de comunicação com a mãe no óbito perinatal
Feelings of women with terminated pregnancies. Integrative review

Published: June 2024

Introduction: We have observed the experience of women who have terminated their pregnancy for various reasons, whether natural, under judicial authorization, due to an incompatible malformation or during the perinatal period. After the interruption, we observed that the mothers seek explanations and meanings for the loss. In the case of abortion by judicial authorization, the fact of the fetal malformation seems to bring even more sadness because she was the provider of a malformed child. We observed that mothers seek explanations and meanings for the loss with feelings of self-blame. Women who have already had natural miscarriages see miscarriage as irreparable narcissistic pain. The process of mourning is present in human existence, but in cases such as the perinatal period between 22 weeks and 7 days after birth, gestational loss constitutes a stressful life experience. According to Soifer (1992), the death of a child means the frustration of all desires, daydreams and fantasies, plus the impossibility of being a mother. Objective: To identify the feelings of women who have terminated their pregnancy. Method: This is a quantitative, descriptive data analysis study. Its inclusion criteria were articles in Portuguese taken from the last 10 years. Results: It can be seen that women who have experienced bereavement seek explanations and meanings for the loss and are faced with feelings of sadness, fear, shock and worry. One article relating to the aim of this research was found in the last five years in Portuguese. Conclusion: We conclude that bereavement is a natural feeling in life, and that the feeling of immense sadness occurs regardless of the period of loss and the way in which it was witnessed, and that we should allow these women to experience bereavement with appropriate monitoring.
