Analysis of potential water availability of the Baumata spring protected area in Baumata Village, Taebenu District, Kupang Regency, Indonesia
Authors: Kette Arlindo U. S.
Published: October 2022

Baumata water resources are subsurface water resources that come out as springs naturally, which are continuously used to meet the needs of clean water/raw water, industry/companies, and food crop agriculture. Changes in land use of protected areas are one of the factors that affect the discharge conditions of the availability of natural available Baumata spring water resources. This research uses the existing Water Balance Hydrological Model package for the rain to surface run off and subsurface flows (springs). The Hydrological Model Package used in the research to be carried out is the Mock Hydrological Model. The research variable is the availability of water resources for the land use of the Baumata spring protected area. Variables of availability of water resources include data: climate, rain. Baumata spring discharge and characteristics of protected areas to evaluate the potential availability of existing water resources. The results showed that the availability of Baumata spring is continuous because the flow is steady. Utilization of Baumata spring for the raw water needs of the local community AURI PDAM Mineral water, for agriculture/ plantation, for PT Semen and Shipping. The continuity of availability is strongly supported by the potential of natural protected areas that exist in response to rain events/events on the natural protected areas .

Published: October 2022

Corn is a staple food for farmers in East Nusa Tenggara, especially Belu regency. The cultivation of corn commodities is still limited to meet the food needs of farmersâs households and not yet fully commercialized by farmers. The study is aimed at examining: 1). profitability of corn farming activities; 2). Corn competitiveness; 3). policy impact (market distortion) on input and output of corn commodities. The sampling technique was carried out by purposive sampling for area samples and farmer samples. The data obtained was analyzed using the Policy Analysis Matrix (PAM) method. The results showed that the corn commodity in Belu regency reached high competitiveness. The NPCI value < 1 indicates that government policies on inputs increases the competitiveness of corn commodities. The NPCO value < 1 indicated that the current condition of local corn prices was lower than the social price which means it relatively does not provide maximum incentives for the development of corn farming in Belu regency. Whereas the influence of government policy instruments which is currently applied in the input-output market has a disincentive effect on the development of corn in Belu regency, because the added value obtained by farmers (private) was lower than what should be accepted (social), which is only about 78% and 57%. This was reflected in the EPC value of hybrid corn and local corn, which is 0.78 0.57 respectively.

Authors: Supit Rockie R.L. , Emola Imanuel J. , Sunbanu Jelila N.
Published: October 2022

Local wisdom is an unwritten law that was made by the local community or the workers and recognized by the community for generations. This wisdom is very binding on the local community and there are always fines given if there are people who intentionally or unintentionally violate them. The fines given have generally been agreed upon since this local wisdom was made. For local people, obeying local wisdom is higher than written law issued by the government. This study aims to identify the forms of local wisdom of coastal communities, analyze the factors that influence changes in the forms of community-based capture fisheries management, and evaluate the forms of community-based capture fisheries management that develop in the coastal areas of Kabupaten Kupang. This research was conducted from March to September 2021 in all coastal areas of Kupang Regency which includes the areas of West Kupang, East Kupang, Semau Island, West Amarasi, North Amfoang and Sulamu. Data obtained from the results of semi-structured interviews with traditional leaders and community leaders then analyzed descriptively. The results of this study note that currently only a few sub-districts still have valid local wisdom and some are no longer valid.

Background: Depression is a worldwide common mental disorder. According to the WHO reports, the total number of people with depression was more than 300 million in 2015, which was corresponding to 4·4% of the world’s population. The aim of the study is to explore the associations of dietary pattern and depressive symptoms. This cross-sectional study used data of staff members and their assistants in Minia University. Dietary pattern was obtained from three days food records and average was taken. Depressive symptoms were assessed by center of epidemiological studies for depression (CES-D) scale. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the associations of dietary pattern with the risk of depressive symptoms. A total of 210 individuals aged 25 years and older were included in this study. Low fiber intake was the most important factor associated with presence of depressive symptoms (CES-D ≥16); OR= 12.130, C.I.95%= 2.718- 54.139, P= 0.001. The present study demonstrated that dietary fibers might reduce the risk of depressive symptoms in adults.
The Role of Tablighi Jamâ’’at (Society of Preachers) in the Expansion of Deobandi Mindset
Authors: Naji Mohammad Amin
Published: October 2022

The present study investigates the role of Tablighi Jamâ’at (society of preachers) in expanding the Deobandi Mindset. The study uses a descriptive-analytical method based on library research. The investigations indicated that although the Deobandi scholars have somewhat succeeded in the education of Indian Muslim elites in the middle of Deobandi’s intellectual life, they failed in reviving the spirit of faith amongst the Muslims and could not accomplish their objective of restoring the authority of Hanafi Islam. Based thereon, some individuals educated in Deobandi’s house of science (Dar Al-Olûm) decided to step on a corrective path to revitalize Islam. Elyâs Akhtar started his preaching-corrective movement to promote the Deobandi mindset, the promulgation of which, as viewed by Mohammad Elyâs, needed taking the path of a correctional movement. It had to be a movement capable of telegraphing the mission of Deobandi science house’s sheikhs to the most distant places around the globe. Mohammad Elyâs Kandehlavi did not believe in the educating of the elites in line with his sheikhs’ movement, and, establishing a mobile school, he endeavored to spread Deobandi teachings to all the Muslim social classes.

Authors: Ebrahimimehr Abbas Ali
Published: October 2022

Mystics use a special kind of language to convey their thoughts, circumstances (haal) and experiences. This language is exclusive for mystics and has its own distinctive words and expressions. While there are numerous categorizations, mystic language is divided into the two broad types of literal language and symbolic language. The literal language is employed to delineate the thoughts and concepts surrounding mysticism, while the symbolic language is for unfolding the genuine experiences of mystics. In principle, symbolic language is not educational. Ahmad ghazali, the passionate mystic of khorasan, has written an innovative book on love and states which is called sawāneh. He has employed exceptional language to document his mystic receptions. The present study aims at analyzing the mystic language of khajeh ahmad in sawāneh

Authors: Irani Asal Tabatabaee
Published: October 2022

This study aimed to identify EFL learners and English native speakers’ use of politeness strategies in the compliant and request speech acts. To do so, a 50-item questionnaire was developed and given to 108 EFL learners with three different levels of education in both genders, who were selected randomly from Sheikhbahaee University and the University of Isfahan. The EFL learners’ request and complaint emails in three levels of education and English native speakers’ emails in both genders were also gathered. The data were analyzed based on Nogami and Rinnert's (2006), and Brown and Levinson’s (1987) models of complaint and request speech acts. Accordingly, the results of this study indicated that the EFL learners’ perceptions in the use of request and complaints’ politeness strategies were not in line with their actual performance in emails. It was also found that there were significant differences between levels and genders in request and complaint emails: because MA and BA female students and male native speakers expressed their request emails in a direct way, but male EFL students and female native speakers represented their complaints in a direct way.

Authors: Ayala Morales Fernando , Suyapa Gómez Geraldina , Rodríguez Gudiel Heriberto , Rodríguez Guzmán Edwin
Published: October 2022

Antecedentes: El cáncer endometrial (CE) según las estadísticas es el tumor ginecológico más frecuente en países desarrollados, donde su incidencia ha ido en aumento. Históricamente, el CE se ha clasificado en dos tipos: Tipo I (endometrioide), representando el 80-90% de los casos; el tipo II (no endometrioide como el de células serosas y claras, carcinomas indiferenciados). Como dato importante, la mayoría de las pacientes son diagnosticadas cuando la enfermedad se encuentra en etapas tempranas o la lesión todavía está confinada al útero. El tratamiento convencional radica en una histerectomía primaria más salpingooforectomía bilateral, según el estadío de la enfermedad. Caso clínico: Paciente de 58 años de edad que ingresa al Hospital de San Marcos, Ocotepeque, con sangrado transvaginal de 1 mes de evolución, hipertensión crónica y obesidad tipo I. En el ultrasonido transvaginal se observó engrosamiento endometrial, pero en la biopsia se diagnosticó Adenocarcinoma Endometrial de tipo Endometroide Grado II-III de la FIGO. Conclusión: Ante la presencia de sangrado uterino anormal en mujeres peri y postmenopáusicas, con factores de riesgos asociados, se debe sospechar cáncer de endometrio.

Published: October 2022

Antecedentes. Las malformaciones congénitas producidas por la diabetes materna constituyen un síndrome conocido como «embriopatía diabética». Los defectos se asocian a diabetes pregestacional, tipo 1 ó 2. Su patogénesis no está totalmente esclarecida pero la hiperglicemia parece ser el estímulo intrauterino más importante, favoreciendo producción de radicales libres y otras condiciones adversas para la implantación y desarrollo embrionario/fetal. Descripción del caso. Presentamos caso de gestante multípara, procedente de Tegucigalpa, M.D.C, antecedente de diabetes mellitus tipo 2, hipotiroidismo y obesidad grado I, historia gineco-obstétrica: G:3, C:2, A:1, HV:1, HM:1, 6 controles prenatales, con embarazo de 30.6 SG X FUM. Acude a control prenatal, realizándose ultrasonido obstétrico que mostró raquisquisis con hidrocefalia severa y tendencia al macrocráneo, pie equinovaro bilateral y polihidramnios (ILA 21.7cc). Paciente refirió aproximadamente 10 contracciones esporádicas en 24 hrs. Examen físico: GO: cérvix dilatado 2 cm, B: 50% AP: -3, membranas íntegras, cefálico. Es ingresada con plan de cesárea más OTB obteniendo RN con múltiples malformaciones congénitas (defectos del tubo neural, estructuras craneofaciales, y óseas). Se ingresó a unidad de cuidados intermedios, realizándose USG transfontanelar que reportó hidrocefalia severa y por la presencia de mielomeningocele, se sospechó Arnold Chiari tipo II. Se realizó mieloplastía con técnica habitual sin complicaciones, paciente permaneció estable hasta el momento de su egreso hospitalario. Conclusión/recomendación. Niveles de HbA1c en el primer trimestre ≥7% o Glucosa basal >120mg/dl se han asociado al desarrollo de malformaciones. Es importante un estricto control glicémico preconcepcional para disminuir la incidencia de malformaciones asociadas a hiperglicemia en el embarazo.

Authors: Rahman Md. Moksedur , Habib Md. Ahsan , Shah Md. Saifuddin
Published: October 2022

Information on artificial breeding of Cirrhinus reba and Labeo bata is not common in Bangladesh. There are reports on serious decline of natural abundance of these species and are considered threatened under present environmental situation. The species should be brought under culture systems to protect them from being dwindled. For optimizing the breeding technique, the experiment was conducted. Nine pairs of male and female of each species were used. The females of both the species were divided into three treatment groups (T1, T2 and T3).  Weight of reba female and male ranged from 110 to 140g and 80 to 105g respectively, the same for bata ranged from 310 to 388g and 180 to 260g for female and male respectively. The females of C. reba were injected a first dose of 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg PG kg-1 body weight followed by a second dose of 4.0, 4.5 and 5.0 mg PG kg-1 body weight respectively after 6 hours of the first dose. The doses for L. bata were 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mg PG kg-1 body weight as first, followed by a second dose of 4.5, 5.0 and 5.5 mg PG kg-1 body weight. A single dose for males of C. reba was 1.5 mg PG kg-1 body weight and for L. bata 2.0 mg PG kg-1 body weight. Single pair mating was performed under semi-natural conditions in nine separate hapas with continuous showering at a temperature range of 27-28 0C. The highest average fertilization and hatching of C. reba were obtained at 87.88% and 81.47% respectively and that of L. bata were 86.19% and 75.00% respectively from T2.The percentage of fertilization and hatching obtained against the comparatively low doses of hormone in this experiment was considered noteworthy.

Authors: Kamal Dipak , Khanom Momotaz , Rheman Shafiq
Published: October 2022

The state of art of traditional practice of mud crab fattening was evaluated in terms of technical and economic aspects from 10 randomly selected fattening farms at Paikgacha, Khulna during April to December 2001. Most of the farmers fatten lean (empty egg and/or hepatopancreas) female mud crabs of 180-200 g individual biomass that were rejected during grading at local crab landing centers for two weeks using low coast tilapia and/or trash fish at a rate of 5-8% of stock biomass. Stocking of lean females and harvesting of ripe females were found to be a continuous process and depended on the supply of lean individuals at reasonable prices. Thus, maintaining a fixed stocking density was not observed. The survival and production rate in were recorded at 78.55±12.08% and 0.304 Kg m-2 respectively. The net income of a farm with an average size of 310.77 m-2 was recorded at Tk. 21,525 yr-1.

A 95 days  experiment was conducted to observe the growth performance of giant fresh water prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) replacing fishmeal protein by dietary  soybean meal protein in ten earthen mini ponds (50 m2), at Khulna University campus . Five experimental diets containing 25% protein as Control, Diet 1, Diet 2, Diet 3 and Diet 4 were used. In Control, 36% fishmeal was used as a sole source of protein and Diet 1, 2, 3 and 4 were prepared by substituting fishmeal protein with 30, 40, 50, and 80% fishmeal protein with soybean meal protein respectively. Juvenile shrimps were collected from local vendors having 1.7 g average weight and stocked at a density of 3 m-2. Water and soil quality was monitored regularly and found within the acceptable range. The prawns were fed twice daily at satiations by serving the diets in feeding trays. The highest average weight gain was found in Diet 4 (23.89 ± 5.29 g) and the lowest in Diet 2 (17.68 ± 1.09), although no significant difference (p>0.05) was observed among the treatment and the lowest FCR (1.09) the highest SGR (2.60) and PER (3.43) was achieved in Diet 4 that showed significant difference (p<0.05) with that of Control. Survival rate in Control, D1, D2, D3 and D4 was found 71%, 83%, 95%, 95% and 86% respectively. Among all treatments the better growth performance was found in Diet 4.

Published: October 2022

Voluntary blood donation (VBD) is the foundation of blood safety and safe transfusion methods. It is vital to boost volunteer donor recruitment and retention to ensure a long-term safe blood transfusion practice, especially among university students. The goal was to evaluate Khulna University students' blood donation knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) as well as associated factors. A cross-sectional study was conducted at Khulna University in April 2022. Using simple random sampling (SRS), 400 face-to-face interviews were taken, of which 394 records were used for further analysis. A Chi-square test was used to check the association between KAP toward VBD, and binary logistic regression was applied to identify the association between explanatory and outcome variables. The logistic regression reveals that students with good knowledge about VBD are associated with permanent residence (OR: 1.651; 95% CI: 1.028, 2.650) and education (OR: 1.746; 95% CI: 1.012, 3.014). Favorable attitude toward VBD is associated with gender (OR: 1.818; 95% CI: 1.073, 3.079), division (OR: 3.058; 95% CI:1.241, 7.535) and social media time (OR: 0.068; 95% CI:0.001, 0.876). The practice of VBD is associated with gender (OR: 5.375; 95% CI:3.115, 9.273) and current residence (OR: 0.0397; 95% CI:0.181, 0.869). Efforts should be undertaken to use knowledge and a favorable attitude toward students at the Khulna university to accomplish the aim of 100% VBD in the future.

Ciudades chuecas: Desigualdades urbanas, corporeización y extrañamiento en la movilidad de las personas con discapacidad en Costa Rica
Authors: Paniagua Arguedas Laura
Published: October 2022

En las ciudades de América Latina las desigualdades urbanas se sostienen por el sistema económico, el Estado y la sociedad civil. Si comprendemos el urbanismo como el diseño, la construcción, el uso y la gestión del espacio urbano, es posible analizar cómo se centra la atención en las necesidades de unos cuerpos y movilidades en específico y no de toda la población que las utiliza o necesita emplearlas al habitar la ciudad; se expresa, entonces, el urbanismo capacitista. El objetivo de este artículo es presentar algunos hilos de un tejido para analizar las redes de desigualdades urbanas elaborado desde el acercamiento a las movilidades de las personas con discapacidad con el interés de conocer cómo se corporeizan dichos fenómenos sociales. El artículo presenta, a través de la exploración corporal, la experiencia de las personas con discapacidad en ciudades que arrinconan en Costa Rica.

Authors: Sharoff Leighsa
Published: October 2022

Introduction: This first-time novel pilot study explored RN-BS students’ perceived effectiveness of utilizing vSim for Nursing® as a clinical replacement with a second aim that explored the efficacy of their preparation.Methods: Outcomes of this quantitative study explored the effectiveness of vSim for Nursing utilized the Simulation Effectiveness Tool – Modified (SET-M).Results: Frequency distributions demonstrated majority (n = 14) strongly agreed on the effectiveness of vSim for learning, with all items ranging from 50% (n = 7) to 78.6% (n = 11). Debriefing had the overall highest responses, 57.1% (n = 8) to 78.6% (n = 11). Majority strongly agreed that their preparation was highly effective, 71.43% (n = 10) to 85.71% (n = 12).Conclusions: vSim for Nursing was perceived to be an efficacious clinical practice replacement tool while feeling prepared to achieve the learning outcomes was beneficial. Debriefing continues to be a crucial and fundamental facet to any mode of simulation. Virtual simulation experiences can bridge the gap to assist students to further their knowledge and confidence.

Książnica Cieszyńska (Cieszyn Library) and the Cieszyn Branch of The State Archives in Katowice are among the few repositories, which contain historical documents concerning Cieszyn Silesia. Those collections and archival fonds have recently been described and digitized. The authors will discuss different methods used by both librarians and archivists in the process. The different methods, however, serve a common goal, which is protection of written heritage of the Cieszyn Silesia and its publication on the online databases.
Poplavljen arhiv Mestne občine Ptuj ob naravni ujmi julija 2019 ali Kako smo uspešno rešili pisno kulturno dediščino mesta Ptuj iz 90. let 20 stoletja

Julija 2019 popoldan se je nad Ptujem in okolico razbesnelo hudo neurje z nalivi, ki je povzročilo močne poplave. Poplavilo je tudi središče mesta in številne objekte. Voda je tako vdrla tudi v kletne prostore arhiva Mestne občine Ptuj (MOP). Ko je bilo ugotovljeno, da gre za najdragocenejše gradivo, ki ima status arhivskega (A), to so zapisniki sej mestnega sveta ter drugi pomembni zapisniki iz obdobja začetka devetdesetih let 20. st., so nemudoma sledili ukrepi za zavarovanje gradiva.
Subject-Verb Agreement Errors and Performance of the Bachelor of Arts in English Language Studies (BAELS) Students: An Input for the Development of A Remediation Program

The researcher examined the subject-verb agreement errors made by the forty (40) Guimaras State College BAELS students in the second semester of the school year 2021-2022 using a descriptive research design. The test-retest was performed on thirty (30) Bachelor of Science in Criminology students of the Guimaras State College—as pilot participants. Calculating the error rates gave an overall impression of subject-verb agreement rules. The subject-verb agreement errors did not differ by sex or year for BAELS students, whose academic performance varied by year, but had an effect on the BAELS students’ performance. The subject-verb agreement is difficult for students, especially with certain indefinite pronouns which take a singular verb, compound subjects joined by “and” which require a plural verb, in compound affirmative and negative subjects, where the verb agrees with the positive subjects, and compound subjects connected by coordinating conjunctions which require number and person agreement between the verb and the closest subject. The Guimaras State College may sponsor an English language remediation program to improve student competency. Future researches may highlight that students’ English proficiency may be affected by finances, parents’ occupations, and living on a small island, and teachers can alter how students regard English as a second language.

Self-Compassion Among Youth with Child Maltreatment Histories and Psychological Distress: A Scoping Review
Authors: Wong Nikki , Kim Katherine , Ren Peri (Pei Rui) , Liu Wai Sun , Oh Sehyun Shannon , Strickland Noelle , Stewart Sherry , Wekerle Christine
Published: October 2022

Objective: Focusing on youth (ages 15-24), our scoping review aims to address these questions: (1) What is the relationship between self-compassion (SC) and psychological distress in youths with child maltreatment (CM) histories? and (2) How does this relationship differ across child maltreatment types?Methods: Eight databases were screened: OVID MEDLINE, OVID PsychInfo, PsycARTICLES, ProQuest Sociological Abstracts, ProQuest ERIC, OVID Embase, CINAHL, and PUBMED. Our search strategy and inclusion/exclusion criteria yielded an initial 4143 studies. With 1365 duplicates removed, 2778 titles and abstracts were screened. 17 studies were included for full-text screening, and seven studies were selected for data extraction and final inclusion.Results: SC was found to moderate and mediate the relationships between CM and psychological distress. The role of fear of SC was also investigated and found to function as a mediator between CM and PTSD symptom severity. Regarding CM types, emotional abuse was found to significantly predict SC levels in a child welfare population.Implications: Given the significance of SC and fear of SC in the relationship between CM and psychological distress, implementation of SC into clinical practice should be considered. Recommendations are made to expand research into more diverse populations, such as child welfare and/or Indigenous youth.
Exploring the prospective role of relationships and psychological distress in postpartum risk of intergenerational continuity of child maltreatment
Authors: Langevin Rachel , Hébert Martine , Bernier Annie , Frappier Jean-Yves
Published: October 2022

Objectives: This prospective longitudinal study aimed to explore the role of family relationships (romantic satisfaction and mother-infant bonding) and psychological distress in the associations between four child maltreatment (CM) subtypes (sexual, physical, and emotional abuse, neglect) and early child abuse potential in young mothers.Methods: A sample of 85 pregnant mothers (18-29 years old) was recruited to complete an online survey at Time 1 (T1); 57 mothers participated at T2 (3 months postpartum). The survey documented experiences of CM, prenatal romantic satisfaction, postnatal psychological distress, mother-infant bonding, and child abuse potential using validated questionnaires.Results: Four sequential mediation models were tested, one for each CM subtype. Results show that a maternal history of CM (all subtypes) was indirectly associated with heightened child abuse potential three months postpartum. All CM subtypes were negatively related to prenatal romantic satisfaction, which was in turn negatively associated with postnatal psychological distress. Postnatal psychological distress was related to lower mother-infant bonding which, in turn, was related to increased child abuse potential. The complete sequential model was significant for physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, while a partial sequence was identified with neglect.Implications: Our results are consistent with theoretical models and empirical findings demonstrating the importance of relational factors and mental health in the intergenerational continuity of CM. While our findings await replication, they emphasize the need to intervene early - during the perinatal period - on mental health and family relationships to interrupt intergenerational cycles of CM in at-risk families.
A Study on the improvement direction of Cultural Heritage Information Board in Gongju City from the perspective of Universal Design
Authors:   Korea Society of Public Design, Jung Soo-Jin
Published: October 2022

Improvements that encouraged standardization by utilizing the positive effects of the guideline for cultural heritage information boards led to a standardized direction and showed an effective settlement through a similar process. However, behind the positive effects, I tried to examine the current status of whether the information board can consider all variety of spectators. Gongsanseong and the tombs of King Muryeong and Wangneungwon, and Magoksa were subjected to on-site investigations to collect images of boards and to collect and analyze the designed information. In principle, standardization of form, color, and typeface guide information is applied, but it was found that there was insufficient flexibility in accessing information according to the amount of guide text and the font size of the guide text. The display and digital signage aimed at diversifying access to the guide text, which can be said to be the core of information delivery from the point of view of universal design, have reduced delivery power due to insufficient setting of the amount of information presented on the screen and lack of multilingual labeling considering foreign tourists. In terms of universal design, such as lack of installation sites, it was still insufficient. In order to realize universal design, it is necessary to devise a supplementary standard model for information boards based on designs that respond to social needs such as the characteristics and inconveniences of users such as the elderly, the disabled, children, and foreigner. In Gongju, as there is an active movement to revitalize tourism linked to the region. There is a need to pay attention, and there is a need for continuous related research to be pursued.

Published: October 2022

The present study aims to investigate the effect of the predictive value of Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and several routine laboratory tests on mortality in patients with positive Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) tests who were treated at Istanbul Training and Research Hospital. Routine laboratory data of patients with positive COVID-19 Real Time-Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) results were obtained via the hospital information system. The laboratory tests included ferritin, C-reactive protein (CRP), lactate dehydroge­nase (LDH), aspartate transaminase, creatinine, urea, D-dimer, neutrophil, and lymphocyte count. The number of patients was 2774 and they were admitted to Istanbul Training and Research Hospital between March 10 and June 10, 2020. The statistical data were obtained using SPSS 17.0 version. The patients were divided into two groups, one for mortality (n= 74 patients) and the other for non-mortality (N=2700 patients). In both mortality and non-mortality groups, the ratio of males was higher than females and the difference was not significant (p>0.05). 87.8% of those who lost their lives were treated in the intensive care unit (p<0.05). All parameters were statistically significant between mortality and non-mortality groups (p<0.05). In patients with mortality, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), malignity, kidney failure, immunosuppressive treatment, and COVID-19-associated computerized tomography findings were higher (p<0.05). By the univariate analysis outcomes, all research parameters were significantly associated with mortality (p<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis demonstrated that NLR, CRP, and LDH had predictive values for mortality in multivariate analysis (p<0.05). It is prominent that the NLR, CRP, and LDH were discrete from all other parameters and had a high predictive value among the values at the time of admission to the hospital in the study.
Cross-Border Insolvency and the 2022 Australia-India Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement
Authors: Walters Robert
Published: October 2022

Since 2020, the world has been plunged into uncertain times. The world economy was significantly affected by the outbreak of the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19), which rapidly evolved and was quickly declared a global pandemic. As conflict in Eastern Europe raged from the beginning of 2022, the pandemic being far from over and inflation gripping the world economy, the financial stress individuals and entities were experiencing continued to escalate. At the time Australia and India signed the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (AI-CECA) in April 2022. The signing of this economic partnership is a major step forward for both countries. The proposed economic benefits for both nation states are estimated to be significant, and will extend across many sectors including agriculture, financial services, science and innovation. This article will examine the AI-CECA and make the case that cross-border insolvency cooperation must be an ongoing priority for both countries to ensure strong economic management, and inserted into future amendment of this agreement. Problematic though is the fact that the current approach taken by Australia and India varies greatly. This article will also examine the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law , Cross-Border Insolvency Model Law, in the context of Australia and India.

The primacy of Union law over incompatible national measures: Beyond disapplication and towards a remedy of nullity?
Authors: Dougan Michael
Published: October 2022

Recent ECJ case law suggests that there are exceptional circumstances when the principle of primacy should not merely require the disapplication of national rules that are incompatible with directly effective Union acts, but in fact obliges the domestic courts to regard certain incompatible national measures as null and void. It is argued that these developments are evolutionary rather than revolutionary: as a matter of constitutional principle, it does not fall outside the established framework governing Union-Member State legal relations, for the principle of primacy to extend its legal effects beyond mere disapplication. However, the relevant case law offers little clear guidance about precisely when an incompatibility with directly effective Union law should oblige the national court to treat a given domestic measure as non-existent. The rulings address very different legal and factual situations, and while it is possible to suggest certain common characteristics or criteria, it must still be left to future case law to determine how far a remedy of nullity should supplement or even displace the traditional expectation of disapplication.
