Éléments de science ‘patajuridique
Authors: Windisch Thomas
Published: January 2024

Cet article vise à interroger les contraintes épistémologiques de production d’un discours juridique scientifique en mobilisant des notions issues du courant Droit et littérature. En relevant les enjeux relatifs à la normativité du discours doctrinal, l’approche proposée met l’emphase, dans la première partie, sur la réflexivité des juristes par rapport à leur propre discours et envisage des moyens littéraires, tel que la reformulation du contrat de lecture, afin de produire un discours doctrinal conscient de ses propres impensés. La deuxième partie consiste en un exercice d’application de méthodes littéraires à des notions de louage, en droit civil québécois, grâce à une conception « pataphysique » de la science juridique, dans le sillon de l’œuvre de l’auteur Alfred Jarry.
Comment rire des lois, du magistrat et des dieux en droit des contrats ? ou Petit manuel juridique pour Anarchist/Prostitute…
Authors: Saint-Onge Simon
Published: January 2024

Ce texte propose l'analyse de l'article 1134 du Code civil français « Les conventions légalement formées tiennent lieu de loi à ceux qui les ont faites » à l'aune de la période révolutionnaire et de certains de ses acteurs. Ainsi peut être questionnée la préférence du législateur de 1804 pour le mot ''convention'' plutôt que ''contrat'' selon une approche développée par l'historien Reinhart Koselleck ; et dans l'esprit des philosophies du droit et du politique de Miguel Abensour ; Boyan Manchev ; et de Laurent de Sutter. L’objectif étant de proposer comment rire des lois, du magistrat et des dieux en droit des contrats. Quelque chose comme un petit manuel juridique pour « anarchist/prostitute », qui « figures out the true meaning of contractual freedom. »
L’obligation réelle environnementale ou la libre-contrainte
Authors: Chapon Gwendoline
Published: January 2024

Introduite par la loi sur la biodiversité du 8 août 2016, à l’article L.132-3 du Code de l’environnement, l’obligation réelle environnementale (ORE) a pour finalité « le maintien, la conservation, la gestion ou la restauration d’éléments de la biodiversité ou de fonctions écologiques ». Conclue entre le propriétaire d’un bien immobilier et une personne publique ou privée agissant pour la protection de l’environnement, elle permet au propriétaire de grever volontairement son bien d’une charge environnementale. À l’instar de toute obligation réelle, l’ORE est inscrite dans le bien, ou plus exactement propter rem, attachée au bien, et pèse tant sur le propriétaire actuel que sur les propriétaires ultérieurs. La contrainte est double. D’une part, le propriétaire engage sa chose et lui-même, par voie de conséquence. La propriété, symboliquement associée à la liberté, prend ici la forme d’une liberté de se restreindre dans la disposition de son bien. D’autre part, dès l’instant où l’ORE est publiée, elle se transmet de plein droit, activement et passivement, aux acquéreurs futurs, dérogeant ainsi au régime général de l’obligation personnelle. Le propriétaire limite donc son propre pouvoir et celui de tous ses successeurs pour une finalité plus grande : la préservation de l’environnement. Ce mécanisme présente de nombreux points d’intérêt et suscite autant d’interrogations : pourquoi le propriétaire affecterait-il son bien d’une telle charge ? Cette obligation, initialement librement choisie, ne devient-elle pas un véritable assujettissement pour les propriétaires ultérieurs ? Enfin, est-elle contraire à l’essence du droit de propriété ou, à l’inverse en est-elle une forme d’expression ?
Russian language in Kyrgyzstan: realities and prospects
Authors: Chekhlyaeva Sabina Saidumarovna , Pavlov Andrey Sergeevich
Published: January 2024

The relevance of the study lies in the fact that today Russian language is an important aspect for the development of cooperation between the Kyrgyz Republic and Russia. One of the most important factors is labour migration to Russia. For employment in Kyrgyzstan, knowledge of Russian language is also required. The demand for the Russian language in Kyrgyzstan began to increase due to the growth of migrant workers who go to Russia to earn money, and only with sufficient knowledge of the Russian language they can find a well-paid job. It is important to note an important problem in Kyrgyzstan's education system - most of the country's universities teach students in Russian, while most schools teach in Kyrgyz, a problem that is especially pronounced in the remote regions of the country. Hence, there is a contradiction in the education system. This situation is also influenced by the rather low quality of Russian language teaching in the country's regions. In light of the current geopolitical situation, strengthening the position of the Russian language in Kyrgyzstan contributes to the establishment and development of statehood and interethnic and international cooperation. The aim of the study is to identify the main processes and trends affecting the status and position of the Russian language in the Republic of Kyrgyzstan after the collapse of the USSR. In order to achieve the aim, the authors of the article used various materials, among which: The Constitution of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan, normative legal documents regulating the language policy of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan.
Digital educational environment as a mean of pedagogical prevention of deformation of legal consciousness
Authors: Slanov Oleg Taimurazovich
Published: January 2024

The article deals with the problem of preventing the deformation of legal consciousness in the conditions of digitalization of education in modern society. The purpose of the work is to analyze the influence of the digital environment on the formation, change, prevention of deformation of the legal consciousness of students and to determine the possibility of using the digital environment in order to prevent deformation of the legal consciousness of students, its modeling, correction, and the need to introduce digital tools into educational organizations to achieve this goal. The article touches upon the main factors that traditional influence of formation and prevention of the deformation of legal consciousness and the role of the digital environment in this matter. In this paper, using analysis and synthesis as the main research methods, studies concerning digital and legal literacy of citizens of the Russian Federation are analyzed. Taking into account the analysis, recommendations are given on the formation of legal awareness and pedagogical prevention of its deformation among students in the conditions of digitalization of society, as well as the need to introduce into the digital environment of an educational organization teaching and upbringing methods aimed at the formation of legal awareness of citizens, their civil position that meets the requirements of the formation of the rule of law and ensuring the development of civil society.The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that Russian scientists investigated the issues of legal awareness, prevention of its deformation and digitalization of education, but as independent issues in various branches of sciences: jurisprudence, psychology, pedagogy, sociology, philosophy, etc. In this study, these issues are considered in interrelation and interdependence. As a result of the study, it was found that the digital environment affects the deformation of the legal consciousness of the student and can be used to ensure the prevention of distortion of the perception of legal reality in the educational process. The author offers definitions of such concepts in pedagogical science as: "legal consciousness", "deformation of legal consciousness", "pedagogical prevention of deformation of legal consciousness".
Ways and prospects of development of higher inclusive education in Russia
Authors: Wu Rongwei
Published: January 2024

The subject of the study is the problem of the functioning of inclusive education in Russian universities. Through the analysis of modern documents proclaiming the right of persons with disabilities to receive quality education, as well as the actual practice of introducing inclusion in the activities of universities, the author attempts to assess the level of development of higher inclusive education in Russia. The paper describes the main approaches of universities to teaching students with disabilities and with disabilities. The problems of universities that cause insufficient readiness of universities to accept and train people with disabilities are identified. The author's attention is focused on ways to overcome the identified difficulties, as well as issues of improving the process of inclusion in the activities of universities by conducting self-examination in higher education institutions for the university's readiness to teach students with disabilities. When considering materials of a legislative and legal nature, the author of the work used such research methods as analysis, description, synthesis. In order to identify the most fruitful ways of organizing an accessible educational environment for people with disabilities in universities, the method of analyzing pedagogical experience was also used. When formulating the conclusions of the study, general theoretical methods of comparison and systematization proved to be in demand. The main conclusion of the study is that Russian higher inclusive education is currently experiencing only a stage of its development, and it is too early to talk about true inclusivity in the practice of Russian universities. However, the work reflects the measures taken by universities to ensure comfortable conditions for the education of people with disabilities. Among them: the desire to expand the specialized material, technical and didactic base, the organization of psychological and pedagogical support of the category of students and teachers interacting with it. The fruitfulness of the introduction of advanced training courses for the teaching staff, the creation of resource training and methodological centers is noted. The novelty of the research lies in the fact that the author of the work introduces the concept of the inclusivity index – a kind of result of self-reflection of the university's activities, which allows to indicate the degree of its readiness to accept students with disabilities.The author also presents the main components of the inclusivity index, which are necessary for clarification when compiling questionnaires for self-examination of the university.
The legality of the application of administrative coercion measures in the activities of the police
Authors: Kurakin Aleksei Valentinovich
Published: January 2024

The article draws attention to the problems of ensuring legality in the application of administrative coercion measures. This problem is one of the most important, since during the application of coercive measures, restrictions on the rights of citizens are carried out. Administrative coercion is applied only if there are appropriate grounds, which is partly a guarantee of compliance with the requirements of legality in the application of appropriate coercion. The author drew attention to the guarantees of legality, which must be taken into account when applying administrative coercion measures, these guarantees can be both material and procedural. Procedural guarantees are more in demand when applying measures of administrative and procedural coercion, they are associated with the action of administrative responsibility. The problems of ensuring the rule of law are relevant for all areas of law enforcement activities of the police. One of the activities of the police is administrative activity. The police use a wide variety of forms and methods that are of an administrative and legal nature, in this regard, the guarantees of legality also have an administrative nature. The author drew attention to the essence of these guarantees, carried out their classification according to their functionality and regulatory consolidation. The author concluded that the guarantees of legality predetermine the effectiveness of the administrative activities of the police, in the widest range of its implementation. The scientific novelty of the article is determined by the fact that the author has formulated a number of proposals that will make it possible to improve the quality of administrative activities of the police.

Authors: Kaluzhina Marina Anatolievna , Pestov Viktor Vladimirovich
Published: January 2024

Based on a study of the current stage of penal policy, the goals of the probation institution, the legal normative provisions of the Federal Law “On Probation in the Russian Federation” are analyzed. A list of functions and forms of resocialization influence of subjects of probation influence on persons under probation control is given: provision of services, client-centric approach, support for society institutions. The authors determine the essence of the basic categories of the problem under study with an emphasis on today's socio-criminological assessments. The main conclusions of the study are the need to supplement the list of probation subjects; the importance of a multi-level system of normative legal regulation of the probation in resolving issues of resocialization; openness of functioning of the probation institution with the support of civil society. Based on an analysis of the essence of the probation and the content of correctional interventions, a conclusion is drawn about the specific nature of the resocialization process, its duration, stages, sequence, continuity, dynamism, and interconnectedness of the actions of subjects whose competence includes issues of guardianship and support for offenders. The importance of variability of measures used in the resocialization and social adaptation of a convict has been proven, possible ways to control his behavior, and subjects capable of providing services in the field of probation are proposed. The need to study foreign experience in the field of probation is substantiated to develop the most effective ways to achieve the goals of punishment, successful practices of resocialization, and social adaptation of convicts.

Published: January 2024

A graph in which the edge can connect more than two vertices is called a Hypergraph. A ''k''-partite hypergraph is a hypergraph whose vertices can be split into ''k'' different independent sets. In this paper, regular, totally regular, totally irregular, totally neighborly irregular Intuitionistic Fuzzy ''k''-Partite Hypergraphs (IF''k''-PHGs) are defined. Also order and size along with the properties of regular and totally regular IF''k''-PHGs are discussed. It has been proved that the size S(\mathscr{H}) of a ''r''-regular IF''k''-PHG is \frac{tr}{2} where t=\left|V\right|. The dual IF''k''-PHG has also been defined with example.
Parahippocampal neurons encode task-relevant information for goal-directed navigation
Authors: Gonzalez Alexander , Giocomo Lisa M.
Published: January 2024

A behavioral strategy crucial to survival is directed navigation to a goal, such as a food or home location. One potential neural substrate for supporting goal-directed navigation is the parahippocampus, which contains neurons that represent an animal’s position, orientation, and movement through the world, and that change their firing activity to encode behaviorally relevant variables such as reward. However, little prior work on the parahippocampus has considered how neurons encode variables during goal-directed navigation in environments that dynamically change. Here, we recorded single units from rat parahippocampal cortex while subjects performed a goal-directed task. The maze dynamically changed goal-locations via a visual cue on a trial-to-trial basis, requiring subjects to use cue-location associations to receive reward. We observed a mismatch-like signal, with elevated neural activity on incorrect trials, leading to rate-remapping. The strength of this remapping correlated with task performance. Recordings during open-field foraging allowed us to functionally define navigational coding for a subset of the neurons recorded in the maze. This approach revealed that head-direction coding units remapped more than other functional-defined units. Taken together, this work thus raises the possibility that during goal-directed navigation, parahippocampal neurons encode error information reflective of an animal’s behavioral performance.
Discovery of lipid binding sites in a ligand-gated ion channel by integrating simulations and cryo-EM
Authors: Bergh Cathrine , Rovšnik Urška , Howard Rebecca J. , Lindahl Erik
Published: January 2024

Ligand-gated ion channels transduce electrochemical signals in neurons and other excitable cells. Aside from canonical ligands, phospholipids are thought to bind specifically to the transmembrane domain of several ion channels. However, structural details of such lipid contacts remain elusive, partly due to limited resolution of these regions in experimental structures. Here, we discovered multiple lipid interactions in the channel GLIC by integrating cryo-electron microscopy and large-scale molecular simulations. We identified 25 bound lipids in the GLIC closed state, a conformation where none, to our knowledge, were previously known. Three lipids were associated with each subunit in the inner leaflet, including a buried interaction disrupted in mutant simulations. In the outer leaflet, two intrasubunit sites were evident in both closed and open states, while a putative intersubunit site was preferred in open-state simulations. This work offers molecular details of GLIC-lipid contacts particularly in the ill-characterized closed state, testable hypotheses for state-dependent binding, and a multidisciplinary strategy for modeling protein-lipid interactions.

Treatments for congenital and acquired craniofacial (CF) bone abnormalities are limited and expensive. Current reconstructive methods include surgical correction of injuries, short-term bone stabilization, and long-term use of bone grafting solutions, including implantation of (i) allografts which are prone to implant failure or infection, (ii) autografts which are limited in supply. Current bone regenerative approaches have consistently relied on BMP-2 application with or without addition of stem cells. BMP2 treatment can lead to severe bony overgrowth or uncontrolled inflammation, which can accelerate further bone loss. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell-based treatments, which do not have the side effects of BMP2, are not currently FDA approved, and are time and resource intensive. There is a critical need for novel bone regenerative therapies to treat CF bone loss that have minimal side effects, are easily available, and are affordable. In this study we investigated novel bone regenerative therapies downstream of JAGGED1 (JAG1).We previously demonstrated that JAG1 induces murine cranial neural crest (CNC) cells towards osteoblast commitment via a NOTCH non-canonical pathway involving JAK2-STAT5 (1) and that JAG1 delivery with CNC cells elicits bone regeneration
in vivo.
In this study, we hypothesized that delivery of JAG1 and induction of its downstream NOTCH non-canonical signaling in
pediatric human osteoblasts
constitute an effective bone regenerative treatment in an
in vivo
murine bone loss model of a critically-sized cranial defect. Using this CF defect model
in vivo
, we delivered JAG1 with pediatric human bone-derived osteoblast-like (HBO) cells to demonstrate the osteo-inductive properties of JAG1 in human cells and
in vitro
we utilized the HBO cells to identify the downstream non-canonical JAG1 signaling intermediates as effective bone regenerative treatments.
In vitro,
we identified an important mechanism by which JAG1 induces pediatric osteoblast commitment and bone formation involving the phosphorylation of p70 S6K. This discovery enables potential new treatment avenues involving the delivery of tethered JAG1 and the downstream activators of p70 S6K as powerful bone regenerative therapies in pediatric CF bone loss.
Yrkesreisen
Authors: Thunberg Odd Arne
Published: January 2024

Å skrive Yrkesreisen kom i stand i en forskningstermin. Teksten har tre deler. Læringsfortellingene er basert på gjenfortalte yrkes- og livserfaringer, samtaler og dokumenter. Det ligger til grunn et større tekstmateriale fra intervjuer med en rekke yrkeslærlinger i hotellbransjen. I tillegg er det brukt dokumenter fra yrkeserfaringer - og dokumenter fra gjenfortalte skole- og yrkeshistorier.  Noen fortellinger er også inspirert av dagbøker, aviser og notater. Materialet fra dagbøker har også poetiske innslag, og dermed også innslag av fiksjon. Hvis boken skal plasseres i en sjanger, vil forfatteren hovedsakelig foreslå sakprosa. Forsknings-faglitteratur er relevant for kapittel 1 og 2 som er basert på observerte og gjenfortalte yrkeserfaringer og hendelser. Kapittel 3 er kanskje mer en episk sjanger hvor deler av teksten er inspirert av dagbøker, notater og muntlige fortellinger.
Del 1 (Johannes): Denne innledende delen omhandler praktisk læring for et fremtidig yrke. Fortellingen tar utgangspunkt i informasjoner fra fem individuelle og anonymiserte intervjuer med resepsjonistlærlinger i perioden 2021–2022. I tillegg har kapittelet innslag fra yrkesrelaterte erfaringer, og referanser fra brev og dagbøker. I tillegg til å lære seg et yrkesfag, beskrives en hjelpende dimensjon i hovedpersonens velutviklede luktesans. Johannes kan identifisere mange av sine hotellgjester lenge før han ser eller hører dem.
Del 2 (Ole): Teksten er basert på erfarte, nedskrevne og anonymiserte læringshistorier fra yrkespraksis i byssa til sjøs og på hoteller i Norge. Denne teksten kan også leses som en del av en helhetlig fortelling om læring i og erfaring fra en kompleks yrkespraksis. En hjelpende læringsdimensjon dukker opp om natten gjennom kloke tips og advarsler i de uregelmessige drømmene til hovedpersonen.
Del 3 (Jon): Teksten er basert på komplekse livserfaringer spesielt med vanskeligheter tilknyttet skolen.  Yrkeshistorier fra et langt liv i byssa til sjøs og på militær-kjøkkener langs kysten er hentet fra gamle dagbøker, fortellinger og notater. Dette materialet er blitt omskrevet og anonymisert. I tillegg til å skulle lære seg et yrkesfag, beskrives en hjelpende dimensjon fra en usynlig kraft. Tydelige tips og advarsler kommer gjennom stemmen fra Magnus. En onkel som døde for mange år siden. Hovedpersonen Jon var sjømann og en uekte sønn til den finske skøyteløperen Clas Thunberg. Dette er også tidligere blitt gjengitt i Historien om Vinter-OL (Lahlum og Tronstad 2021, s. 67).
Parejas lésbicas chilenas: el rol del afrontamiento diádico en la moderación de la discriminación percibida y la depresión
Authors:   , Rivas Martínez Dominick Alexandra
Published: January 2024

La discriminación sistematizada hacia el colectivo LGBT+ ha generado un empobrecimiento en la salud mental de carácter crónico. Particularmente, la población lésbica no cuenta con estudios suficientes que le caractericen como un subgrupo aparte del colectivo de la diversidad sexual, invisibilizando sus dificultades y especificidades propias. Por otro lado, las oportunidades de acceso a tratamientos de salud mental en el ámbito nacional resultan escasas, producto del escueto aporte económico del PIB muy por debajo de lo recomendado por la OMS y los países del primer mundo. En este sentido, localizar estrategias de afrontamiento parece vital para poder encontrar factores protectores con los que las mismas mujeres puedan sobrellevar situaciones displacenteras con alta carga de estrés. El siguiente estudio busca investigar el rol del afrontamiento diádico en la moderación de la depresión y discriminación en mujeres en parejas lésbicas, esto con el objetivo de establecer la relación entre afrontamiento diádico, depresión y discriminación en una muestra de 107 mujeres lesbianas mayores de 18 años que habiten en Chile. Las variables fueron evaluadas con la Escala de Depresión y Victimización (Barrientos, 2016), DCI (Bodenmann 2008, escala adaptada por Falconier et al., 2013) y el PHQ-9 versión validada en Chile (Baader et al., 2012), en conjunto a un cuestionario sociodemográfico para caracterizar la población a través de análisis de moderación. Los resultados muestran que el afrontamiento diádico no modera la relación entre la discriminación y la depresión, aún cuando tienen una asociación inversa significativa. Se recomienda realizar futuros estudios con un tamaño muestral que logre ser representativo a esta población.
Comparison of Conventional Small Group Teaching with Skill-based Teaching in the Proper Use of Drug Delivery Systems in Phase II MBBS Students of a Medical College in New Delhi, India: A Randomised, Crossover Experimental Study
Authors: Arya Amit , Singh Sunita
Published: January 2024

Introduction: The conventional small group teaching method primarily focuses on the knowledge aspect of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) students. However, under the Curriculum Based Medical Education (CBME) framework, the National Medical Council (NMC) has introduced a new method of small group teaching called skill-based teaching for Phase II MBBS students. This method includes skill training and communication training in the proper use of Drug Delivery Systems (DDS), in addition to the knowledge aspect. Aim: To compare the conventional method of small group teaching with skill-based teaching in terms of learning the proper use of DDS in Phase II MBBS students. Materials and Methods: The present randomised, crossover experimental study was conducted in the Department of Pharmacology at North Delhi Muncipal Corporation Medical college, Hindu Roa Hospital, New Delhi, India, over a period of six months July 2022 to December 2022 to assess knowledge (cognitive domain), skill (psychomotor domain), and communication (affective domain). The students were initially given a questionnaire (pretest) followed by a didactic lecture on DDS. They were then randomly divided into two groups. Group A received skill-based teaching for insulin pen, while Group B received conventional teaching. The groups were then crossed over for Metered Dose Inhaler (MDI) training. After the teaching sessions, the students were given the same questionnaire (post-test). All students were assessed for their skill in using the device and their communication skills. The scores of the two groups were compared using an unpaired t-test. Results: A total of 51 students (31 males and 20 females; age range 18-20 years) participated in the study. There was a significant improvement in the questionnaire scores between the pretest and post-test (p<0.0001). In the skill-based teaching group, there was a significant improvement in the students’ performance in using MDI (p<0.05) and in communication of insulin pen (p=0.0001). Similar results were observed in the skill of using insulin pen and the communication aspect of MDI in both groups. Conclusion: Skill-based teaching resulted in similar or better performance in terms of skill and communication in the use of DDS compared to conventional teaching methods.
Pyogenic Granuloma or HaemangiomaA Diagnostic Dilemma in a 13-year-old Female
Authors: Singh Shweta , Pal Sujeet , Chauhan Himanshu , Sah Kunal , Khan Suleman Abbas
Published: January 2024

Pyogenic granulomas and haemangiomas are well-known benign lesions of the oral cavity. Although pyogenic granulomas are known to have a gingival preference, while capillary haemangiomas are more commonly found on the lips, cheeks, tongue, and palate. There are several lesions in the oral cavity that resemble haemangiomas microscopically. Pyogenic granuloma is one of these lesions, characterised by the proliferation of endothelial cells, and is often indistinguishable from true haemangiomas microscopically. The clinical diagnosis of such a rare phenomenon can be quite difficult, as they can sometimes resemble more serious lesions, such as malignancies. Hereby, the authors present a case report of capillary haemangioma in the maxillary left posterior region of the jaw in a 13-year-old female, which was clinically diagnosed as pyogenic granuloma. The patient presented with a painless swelling, and no significant findings were observed on radiographic examination. The present case report aimed to resolve the dilemma in the diagnosis of vascular tumours and malformations, and to assess their histological, biological behaviour, and clinical presentation.

Study Design:  This researched employed descriptive predictor approach that                               focuses on examining the Crisis Management Skill and Competence of Philippine National Police.

Place and Duration of Study: Sample: This study was conducted In Davao City specifically Police Station 8 Toril, Police Station 17 Baliok and Police Station 3 Talomo from School Year 2022to 2023.

Methodology: This research included 50 respondents 20 in Police Station 8,15 in Police Station 17 and also 15 in Police Station 3 and utilized convenient sampling technique.

Results: The study's results indicate a very high level of crisis management skills among the respondents, with planning skills, communication skills, and organizing skills all scoring very high. In addition, the competence of PNP personnel in negotiation of hostage taking, handling VAWC and child abuse cases, and first responder procedures on bomb threats is also perceived as very high. This suggests that PNP personnel possess the necessary skills and capabilities to effectively handle various crisis situations, including hostage negotiations, cases of violence and abuse, and bomb threats. A regression analysis was conducted to assess the influence of crisis management skills on PNP competence. The results revealed a moderate influence between the variables, with an R value of 0.415. The model summary indicated that 17.30 percent of the variation in PNP competence is explained by the regression model, suggesting that crisis management skills have a significant impact on PNP competence. Specifically, the planning skills indicator was found to significantly influence PNP competence, with a one-unit increase in planning skills leading to a 0.329 increase in PNP competence.

Conclusion: The study concludes that the Philippine National Police (PNP) personnel exhibit very high crisis management skills and competence, with planning skills being the most influential domain on their competence. This indicates their proficiency in handling various crisis situations and maintaining a high standard of service quality. The PNP personnel are highly competent in negotiating hostage situations, handling cases of violence and abuse, and responding to bomb threats, highlighting their commitment to public safety. The study also found a positive influence between planning skills and competence in some areas, but communication and organizing skills showed weak or non-significant influence in the examined areas.

Power derived via the wind stands out as an appealing form of renewable energy due to its minimal operational, maintenance, and production expenses, coupled with its limited environmental footprint. This investigation focuses on employing geospatial methods to establish a wind farm on Bonny Island, Nigeria. The primary objectives include furnishing data and a spatial wind distribution map for Bonny Island, evaluating the significance of factors crucial for wind farm development in the area, and generating a wind energy suitability map. The study utilizes Geographic Information System (GIS) and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) methodologies to scrutinize five critical parameters influencing location suitability. The findings indicate that Bonny Island possesses potential for wind farm installation, with 3,549.8 hectares, 10,219.6 hectares, and 424.6 hectares categorized as highly suitable, suitable, and unsuitable, respectively. Moreover, wind speed, land use/land cover, distance from the road, distance from the river, and land slope each carry a substantial priority weight of 50%, 25%, 10%, 10%, and 5%, respectively. These weights contribute to the creation of a wind energy suitability map for the study area. This research recommends amongst other things the investment and installation of a wind energy farm in Bonny Island, owing to the comparative advantage over other sources of energy in Nigeria.

Real-time applications always have security issues present in their ecosystem which needs to be improved. Blockchain technology can be considered as a solution that can ensure network security. The integration of blockchain technology into autonomous systems has now become an important candidate to resolve network security issues in devices that work on p2p communications. As humans become more reliant on autonomous vehicles, the importance of finding a solution to the problems linked with data security needs to be addressed to comply with international security laws. The paper aims to find the importance of blockchain technology and how it can be integrated into different classes of autonomous vehicles. In the research, an analysis of existing papers will be included along with a proposed design that can be deployed to solve the problems associated with data security using blockchain technology. Besides the improvements offered by blockchain technology, all the additional challenges associated with designing a new system and deploying this technology will be reviewed. The limitations of the works along with the future research opportunities that might open up will be presented in this paper.

Background: Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection globally. Some studies demonstrate that the prevalence and incidence of HPV infection are higher in HIV-infected patients compared to non-HIV controls. This study aims to conduct a systematic review with meta-analysis to assess the prevalence of HPV among HIV-positive individuals.

Methodology: We followed the guidelines of the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) to conduct a thorough review. We searched for published literature in MEDLINE/PubMed, EMBASE and Scopus, using the following keywords: “HPV”, “papillomavirus”, “papillomaviridae”, “head and neck”, “oropharynx”, “oropharyngeal”, “tongue”, “mouth”, “oral”, “oral cavity”, “HIV”, “Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome” and “AIDS”. Out of 925 studies, we included 26 in our analysis.

Results: A total of 925 studies were retrieved using our search strategy, with 26 studies meeting the inclusion criteria for this systematic review. The pooled analysis revealed an overall prevalence of oral HPV infection in HIV-infected individuals at 24.00% (95% confidence interval: 16.00-35.00).

Conclusion: This systematic review highlights a notable prevalence of oral HPV infection among individuals living with HIV. These findings underscore the importance of continued research and public health efforts to address the intersection of HIV and HPV, contributing to a comprehensive understanding of the epidemiology and potential implications for preventive strategies in this vulnerable population.

Onion is an important crop at domestic and international level and growers faced problems in both production and marketing. Value chain analysis is essential to trace the series of activities and actors across small onion value chain and analyse their role and performance. The first step in value chain analysis is to map various actors and their roles. This study was undertaken to map the existing value chain in small onion in Perambalur district. Mapping the value chain practices will help us to understand the existing practices in small onion cultivation in Tamil Nadu. Inputs used in the production such as seedlings, fertilizer, plant protection chemicals were provided to the farmers; the farmer produced the onion and sold to the intermediaries in the value chain. Intermediaries like local traders, commission agents, retailers procured onion from the farmers and transferred to the end consumers.

Published: September 2002

A series of free-base, zinc and mixed free-base-zinc porphyrin dimers were investigated using electrochemistry, electronic absorption, resonance Raman and emission studies. The spectroelectrochemistry of these compounds was also examined. The electronic absorption and resonance Raman data suggest that the two porphyrins in the dimer are behaving as independent chromophores with limited communication. However, emission studies show that energy transfer occurs between the two units. The linking unit is seen to have limited influence on the properties of chromophores.
The perceived consequences of responding to bullying with aggression: A study of male and female adult prisoners
Authors: Ireland Jane L. , Archer John
Published: September 2002

This research addresses whether prisoners who bully others and/or are victimised themselves can be distinguished by the perceptions that they have of the consequences about using aggression as a solution to being bullied. Male and female adult prisoners (n = 406) were required to complete a self‐report behavioural checklist (Direct and Indirect Prisoner Behaviour Checklist [DIPC]) that addressed the level of bullying behaviour at their present institution. Prisoners were also required to complete a questionnaire (Bullying Social Problem Solving Questionnaire [BSPSQ]) that provided them with five different bullying situations and asked them what would be the consequences if they were to respond aggressively to each. Four categories of prisoners were examined: pure bullies, pure victims, those who reported both bullying others and being victimised themselves (bully/victims), and those not involved in bullying/victimisation. Pure bullies reported significantly more positive than negative consequences of aggression compared with the overall category mean in response to theft‐related bullying. Bully/victims reported significantly more positive than negative consequences compared with the overall category mean in response to indirect and indirect‐physical bullying. Those not involved reported significantly more negative than positive consequences compared with the overall category mean in response to all scenarios except one involving indirect‐physical bullying. Males reported significantly more positive than negative consequences compared with females for all types of bullying. Aggr. Behav. 28:257–272, 2002. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
A meta‐analysis of serotonin metabolite 5‐HIAA and antisocial behavior
Authors: Moore Todd M. , Scarpa Angela , Raine Adrian
Published: September 2002

During the past 25 years, researchers have examined the relationship between neurochemical variables and antisocial behavior in human adults, but none has been studied more intensely than the serotonin metabolite 5‐hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5‐HIAA). The goal of the current study was to employ meta‐analytic procedures to quantitatively evaluate selected evidence on the relationship between 5‐HIAA and antisocial behavior. It was expected that antisocial groups would show reduced cerebrospinal fluid 5‐HIAA compared with non–antisocial groups. This study also aimed to assess moderators that could influence the relationship between 5‐HIAA and antisociality. An electronic search and strict inclusion criteria identified 20 reports used in this meta‐analysis. Results showed a significant overall mean effect size (ES = –.45, P < .05) in the direction of lowered 5‐HIAA in antisocial vs. non–antisocial groups. A significant moderating effect for age indicated that groups comprised of antisocial individuals younger than 30 years exhibited larger negative effect sizes (ES = –1.37, P < .05) than groups with older subjects (ES = –.31, P < .05). There were no moderating effects for gender, target of violence, history of suicide, and alcoholism. Age effects may help explain age‐related declines in crime. The fact that effects did not differ based on other moderating variables supports models of reduced serotonin in antisocial individuals, regardless of type of crime or psychiatric problems. Aggr.
