Published: September 2023

Paraquat emerges as a formidable medical dilemma in Southeast Asia, its toxic effects attributed to the generation of free radicals and oxidative stress, with a specific predilection for diverse tissues, most notably the lungs. The scarcity of effective treatment modalities in resource-constrained settings magnifies the magnitude of the paraquat poisoning predicament. This report outlines the successful management of a 25-year-old man who ingested a lethal dose of paraquat. The patient presented solely with dysphagia devoid of accompanying symptoms, regardless of ingesting a fatal quantity of paraquat. The diagnosis was made based on history and a thorough clinical examination. Early, aggressive treatment with pulse therapy of steroids and antioxidants led to unexpected and quirky recovery. The case stresses the importance of prompt management and highlights the need for more research and public education to prevent future cases.

Authors: Hasanudin Hasanudin , Pratama Anggara Yudha
Published: September 2023

Employee satisfaction and its effects on employee performance at PT. Aru Raharja are influenced by talent, internal communication, and work-life balance. With the aid of the AMOS Version 24 application, data was collected from 190 respondents via questionnaires and analysed using structural equation modelling (SEM). According to the study's findings, internal communication does not significantly affect employee satisfaction (H2 is rejected), while talent management has a favourable and large impact on it. Employee Satisfaction is positively and significantly impacted by Work-Life Balance (H3 obtained). But neither Work Life Balance (H6) nor Talent Management and Internal Communication (H4 and H5 were eliminated) had a substantial impact on Employee Performance. Employee Satisfaction was also discovered to have a positive and significant impact on employee performance (H7 received). The study also found that Employee Satisfaction fully mediators the association between talent management and employee performance (H8 received), making the direct impact of talent management on employee performance negligible. Employee satisfaction, however, does not mediate between internal communication and employee performance (H9 rejected). However, Work Life Balance also fully mediates the association between Work Life Balance and Employee Performance (H10 accepted), negating the direct impact of Work Life Balance on Employee Performance.

Published: September 2023

El Plan Nacional de Desarrollo 2018-2022 sugirió que la bioeconomía generará el 10 % del PIB del país para 2030 y, aunque existe potencial, se considera que se le otorga mucha responsabilidad a la misma, como mecanismo dinamizador del crecimiento territorial; las condiciones con las que se cuenta son limitadas y esto dificulta avanzar en su implementación. Por lo anterior, este artículo identificó una serie de condiciones habilitantes que acompañan a los departamentos de Nariño, Tolima, La Guajira y Bogotá-Región, en su interés por avanzar en temas relacionados con la bioeconomía, a partir de las dimensiones del desarrollo territorial y sostenible propuestas por Massiris y la Triple hélice de Etzkowitz y Leydesdorff. Los resultados más significativos evidencian que el centralismo ha determinado marcadas brechas regionales; así mismo, es fundamental seguir construyendo las condiciones habilitantes para que la bioeconomía contribuya aún más al desarrollo de los territorios. El presente artículo dista de estar terminado; sigue habiendo mucha información que esperamos aportar en futuros documentos, que servirá como referencia para los tomadores de decisiones públicas, privadas, académicas y, desde la sociedad civil.

Authors: Hernández Tarazona Massiel , Arenas Jimenez Carlos Fernando , Villabona Durán Yurley Paola
Published: September 2023

La sostenibilidad en el uso del agua se ha convertido en uno de los temas de mayor prioridad para mejorar la gestión hídrica por parte de las entidades territoriales. Es por esto por lo que, Arjen Hoekstra y sus colaboradores definieron la metodología de la huella hídrica para calcular la cantidad de agua consumida en un área determinada, así como la sostenibilidad de dicho consumo. A su vez, la microcuenca del río Tona es una de las principales fuentes hídricas que abastece la ciudad de Bucaramanga y su área metropolitana, así como las zonas de producción agropecuaria. Por lo anterior, la presente investigación evaluó la sostenibilidad de la microcuenca de Tona a partir de la medición de los indicadores de huella hídrica sobre el sector agropecuario. Según este propósito, se estableció dos años de estudio: 2017 y 2020, clasificados como seco y húmedo, respectivamente, para analizar la variación de consumo hídrico en distintas condiciones climáticas. A partir de estos años, primero se determinó el indicador de balance hídrico mensual, constituyendo que la zona presenta estabilidad y exceso durante la mayor parte del año. Posteriormente, se construyó un modelo de lluvia escorrentía para estimar la oferta hídrica de los años de estudio. Después, mediante la metodología de Hoekstra se calculó la huella hídrica azul, verde y gris y el consumo por tonelada y a nivel mensual de las actividades agrícolas, encontrando que los productos con mayor consumo fueron aguacate, cebolla junca, papa y café a nivel agrícola. Con los datos de huella hídrica se comparó el consumo con la oferta para encontrar los puntos de acceso a nivel temporal, definiendo que las épocas de verano o de menor precipitación son las que presentaron un menor grado de sostenibilidad. Finalmente, con el análisis de los resultados de oferta y consumo hídrico, así como la identificación de epicentros ambientales, fue posible determinar la sostenibilidad del área estudiada.

Published: September 2023

Background:Pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) has a poor prognosis, and novel therapies are needed. The FLT3 tyrosine kinase inhibitorsrepresents a promising target in pediatric AML.Objectives:This study was done to estimate the frequency of FLT3- ITD mutation in childhood acute myeloid leukemia using conventional PCR & correlate this mutation with the clinical presentation and response to induction therapy.Patients, Materials &Methods: Twenty children with AML, and 16 children with reactive bone marrow as negative control were enrolled in this study. Those patients were attending Child Welfare Teaching Hospital in Baghdad from March 2010 to July 2011 .For each patient hematological investigations including complete blood picture, and bone marrow aspiration were done.FLT3-ITD mutation was detected by conventional PCR technology using specific primers. Complete hematological remission achievement after induction chemotherapy was assessed by clinical examinations and full laboratory investigations.Results: Out of 20 AML children who participated in this study, 2 (10%) had FLT3-ITD mutation. The mean age of patients who had the mutation was higher than those without the mutation; and the mutated patientswere males, (P> 0.05).The FLT3-ITD mutation showed no correlation to clinical presentation.The peripheral blood & bone marrow blast cell percent werenon significantly higherin mutated patients as compared to non mutated patients. Regardingits relation to FAB classification, the FLT3-ITD mutation was only detected in M3(1/20) and M3v(1/20), and no mutation was found in other subtypes(M1,M2,M5). Furthermore, mutated patients showed lower response to inductiontherapy as compared to non mutated patients.Conclusions: This is a noval study in one Iraqi teaching hospital to detect FLT3-ITD mutation by using conventional PCR in children with AML. This mutation was detected in 10% of thosechildren , and since they were male,older age group,and presented with higher peripheral blood &bone marrow blast cell percent thus we may propose that it may be used as a marker for the aggressiveness of the disease and can be used to modulate the treatment strategy for those patients.

Problem właściwej wykładni i stosowania art. 49 kodeksu cywilnego stanowi zagadnienie prawne, którego znaczenia w obrocie nie sposób przecenić. Olbrzymia liczba podmiotów niemalże każdego dnia wchodzi w relacje prawne z przedsiębiorcami zajmującymi się działalnością polegającą na dostawie wody, pary, gazu, prądu elektrycznego czy innych mediów. Podmioty zamierzające przyłączyć się do sieci, których właścicielami są tacy właśnie przedsiębiorcy niejednokrotnie znosić muszą nadmiernie wygórowane roszczenia tychże przedsiębiorców, związane czy to z umożliwieniem im dostępu do nieruchomości gruntowej, której nie są właścicielami, czy wreszcie z samozwańczym wręcz przypisywaniem sobie przez tych przedsiębiorców prawa do urządzeń zbudowanych sumptem właściciela gruntu. Zagadnienie to wymaga starannej analizy i spojrzenia na problem zarówno z punktu widzenia obowiązujących przepisów, jak i potrzeb praktyki gospodarczej.

Authors: Трохимчук В. В. , Панкратов І. О.
Published: September 2023

To date, the treatment of patients with COVID-19, which caused an unprecedented pandemic in 2019–2023, remains difficult. Military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine during conscription, when returning from business trips and vacations (especially those who are in the incubation period or are asymptomatic) can bring COVID-19 into the unit and cause an outbreak of the disease.

The purpose of the work was to conduct an analysis of the existing models of the functioning of insurance medicine in some countries in the world and in Ukraine for their further possible application in the system of medical support of the Armed Forces; factors and conditions affecting the course of the disease on COVID-19 were additionally studied.

The main preventive measures against the spread of COVID-19 among military personnel are compliance with sanitary standards, control of disease symptoms and timely vaccination or revaccination. In the treatment of patients with COVID-19, depending on the conditions of stay and the severity of the disease, the following groups of drugs are used: analgesics and antipyretics, rehydration, antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal, low molecular weight heparins, systemic corticosteroids and vitamins, which military personnel receive free of charge. The creation of an effective system of insurance medicine in Ukraine should provide for the possibility for servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to receive medical care in any health care facility, regardless of departmental subordination, by creating an electronic medical card of a serviceman, which will be included in the electronic health care system of Ukraine.

The conducted studies make it possible to draw a conclusion about the need for improvement and further development of the scientific and practical foundations of systematic research in the military medical service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, improving the quality and efficiency of medical support for servicemen, introducing modern approaches and methods of making sound management decisions on issues of protection and prevention of proliferation COVID-19.

Various solar and terrestrial observables show a planetary dependency, even though there is no remote planetary force beyond the extremely feeble tidal force. The common viable explanation of the unexpected observations is planetary gravitational lensing of some generic slow stream(s) from the dark sector that can be focused within the solar system, thus pretending to be a not extant remote force. For example, the synod Jupiter-Earth-Venus strikingly coincides with the 11-year solar cycle. At the same time, Dark Matter (DM) remains elusive, while most of the investigations assume an isotropic DM distribution. Initially, the suggestion was put forward that planetary gravitational lensing of some generic invisible stream(s) results in spatiotemporally strong flux enhancements at any position of the solar system. Thus, even a tiny basal DM interaction with normal matter can occasionally result in an energy deposit far above the currently assumed thresholds. DM streams and clusters have also been independently introduced by cosmological reasoning. However, to explain the almost ubiquitous 11-year solar rhythm, including biomedicine, some generic DM stream(s) were assumed. Therefore, direct DM searches could also profit from spatiotemporally peaking time intervals appearing in other observations, which might be correlated with a direct DM search. Thus, planetary signatures have the potential to lead to a direct DM discovery, even with existing data. Among many theoretically invented particle candidates, favourite and inspiring DM constituents are given. In conclusion, a planetary dependency requires streaming matter from the dark Universe, since all objects of the solar system are effective gravitational lenses for typical DM velocities around 300 km/s. Experiments being sensitive to streams and transient events are advocated following this work.

Authors: Bani Mfarrij Ali , Faqeehi Hassan , AlFayyad Issam
Published: September 2023

BACKGROUND: Water is essential for body hydration to maintain human mental and physical function. However, hot and humid weather, in addition to physical activity, can further increase fluid loss. We aimed to evaluate beverage consumption among school children aged 12-18 years in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online self-administered questionnaire among intermediate and secondary school students. A random stratification technique was used to recruit schools followed by a non-random sampling technique of children’s parents to recruit the adolescents 12-18 years. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the participants’ characteristics and beverage consumption.

RESULTS: A total of 1548 children have completed the questionnaire with a mean age of (15.69±1.68) years. The majority (65.2%) were females. The daily mean total beverage consumption was (1918.88±796.01) ml/day for females and (2238.53±879.96) ml/day for males (p=<0.001). For children aged (14-18) years, beverage consumption was (2052.41±842.01) ml/day, and (1881.33±811.38) ml/day for children aged (12-13) years (p=0.007). The highest consumed beverage for females and males was water (1124.94±548.36) ml/day and (1209.59±534.31) ml/day, respectively (p=0.004). Children aged (14-18) years consumed higher coffee (206.84±234.29) ml/day compared to those aged (12-13) years (78.68±140.71) ml/day (p<0.001). Girls were drinking coffee (208.71±236.60) ml/day more than boys (158.36±206.54) ml/day (p<0.001).

CONCLUSION: Water was the most significant contributor to fluid consumption in all age groups; however, daily beverage consumption was lower than the World Health Organization recommendation. The largest proportion of adolescents is at risk of inadequate hydration.

It also provides for the use of the Celestial Empire’s currency in settlements with third countries and the rejection of the dollar and the euro. Similar processes are taking place in other member states of the Eurasian Economic Union, most intensively in the Republic of Belarus. However, the need for deepening cooperation for China itself is greatly underestimated. Beijing needs it at the current stage based on the features of the Chinese model of economic growth of the last 15 years. The article examines the role of the external and internal markets in the economic growth of the PRC, the features of the current stage, the restrictions associated with it and ways to overcome them through deepening cooperation with the Russian Federation. In this regard, bilateral cooperation is becoming a key factor for China to maintain dynamic growth rates and economic stability. For Russia, this gives an opportunity to build its own ambitious economic development strategy with the use of the potential of the Celestial Empire.

The scientific study is devoted to the peculiarities of the legal regulation of the police officers’ powers of the Ukrainian SSR in the 20s of the XX century. The problems of the activities of the police of the Ukrainian SSR in the period under study were studied by V. Hrechenko, O. Bandurka, O. Yarmysh, I. Kotsan and other researchers. The norms of the legislative and by-laws of the USSR, which established the rights and duties of police officers, have been analysed. The departmental and local by-laws norms of various authorities of the Ukrainian SSR, which set additional tasks for police officers, have been studied. The documents containing information on the functions and tasks of police officers in certain settlements of the Ukrainian SSR during the period under study have been studied.

The legislative acts of the USSR, on which the Soviet police was based, also determined the powers of the employees of this authorityIn the early 20s of the XX century, the powers of police officers were enshrined in the Regulation on the Workers’ and Peasants’ Police of the Ukrainian SSR dated September 14, 1920. In the second half of the 1920s the rights and duties of police officers were established in the Regulations on the Workers’ and Peasants’ Militia dated November 10, 1926, and the Administrative Code of the Ukrainian SSR dated 1927. Police officers had to fulfill their duties to protect the revolutionary order and public safety. The Administrative Code of the Ukrainian SSR established the powers of police officers to carry out searches and seizures, requisitions and confiscations, the use of weapons, citizen detention, and the imposition of administrative fines. The powers of police officers in the field of the preliminary investigation were established in the Criminal Procedure Codes of the USSR dated 1922 and 1927.

It has been concluded that in the first half of the 1920s of the XX century, police officers were often involved in performing tasks that were not typical of law enforcement activities. At the same time, in the second half of the 1920s, legislative and by-law acts were adopted on the police officer exemption from performing tasks that were not typical for them.
Concept, features and types of civil legal relations
Authors: Naumenko K. S.

It has been established that civil legal relations are social relations between individuals and/or legal entities regulated by the rules of the civil branch of law and arising out of certain tangible and intangible benefits. Attention is drawn to the fact that civil legal relations are regulated not only by the rules of civil law, in particular, this is indicated by such a principle as freedom of contract in civil law. In other words, the content of civil law contracts may go beyond the legal relations provided for by the Civil Code of Ukraine.

It has been argued that the key features of such relations are as follows: they may be of property and non-property nature; they are regulated by the rules of the civil branch of law; participants to civil legal relations are equal, i.e., they have the same set of subjective rights and legal obligations; the key principles of legal regulation of civil legal relations are determined at the legislative level, but they are substantively regulated at the contractual level; they arise between private individuals and/or legal entities and are not related to governmental bodies or public institutions; as a rule, civil legal relations are commercial in nature.

It has been noted that an important task of the legislator is to create appropriate conditions for the settlement of civil legal relations, since this is an important guarantee of protection of property and non-property rights of a person, and also contributes to the development of the state economy, i.e. is an important element of the functioning of society and the development of the country’s economy.
Regimes of dispositivity in the legal regulation of contractual relations

It has been concluded that there is a need for further differentiation of the dispositivity regimes in the regulation of contractual relations. The contractual relationship "entrepreneur - entrepreneur" requires the highest possible degree of discretionary provisions of the legislation governing these relations, but the freedom of contract in such relations may be limited based on the need to maintain public order, public morality, restrain monopoly, protect third parties from negative externalities arising from certain types of economic activity.

In the legal regulation of contractual relations between entrepreneurs and consumers, discretion should be applied to a relatively minimal extent. In this regard, the legislator imperatively determines the terms of contracts on which the parties must reach an agreement; regulates sample (exemplary, typical) contracts; imposes pre-contractual obligations on entrepreneurs to fully inform consumers about the properties of products offered for sale; establishes general prohibitions on unfair contractual terms; provides consumers with certain guarantees regarding the conclusion, amendment and termination of contracts, etc.

The regime of regulation of contractual relations involving individuals who are non-entrepreneurs occupies a middle position between the two above legal regimes and provides for: establishment of a relatively smaller number of legal forms of contracts that may be concluded by citizens; determination of conditions mandatory for the conclusion of contracts in the legislation; consolidation of a general prohibition on unfair contractual terms; establishment of a wider list of contracts subject to notarisation; introduction of judicial control over compliance by the parties with the requirements of the law regarding the validity of contracts, etc. Such a differentiated approach allows establishing the most equitable regime for regulating contractual relations.

The boundaries of these legal regimes are difficult to fix in legislation in a certain stable state, and must be constantly adjusted by law enforcement practice.
Problems of legal regulation of start-ups in Ukraine

Published: September 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the theoretical and legal nature of start-ups, their features, and the legal algorithm of their creation, operation, and termination of activities, with due regard to the existing legislative provisions and doctrinal developments.

The rapid technological progress in the world drives the development of economic systems, and the fierce competition between them determines the innovative direction of our country's development. However, despite the fact that over the past two decades new forms of business activity, including start-ups, have been actively used and successfully implemented in Ukraine, there have been almost no changes in the legislative field in this area. This state of affairs should make it necessary to amend existing legislative acts and adopt new ones, develop and consolidate new legal terms and concepts, which would facilitate legislative regulation of all innovation processes. To this end, the author proposes to adopt a special Law of Ukraine “On the Activities of Startups” and to enshrine the definition of “startup” therein. The term “start-up” is defined as a business entity registered in accordance with the procedure established by law that offers a competitive innovative service or product, a newly developed or improved technology that will improve a certain area of human activity, but has limited resources. There is also a justified need to make the list of types of intellectual property open. This will help to protect and defend the innovative achievements and developments of start-up founders.

A list of features inherent in a start-up has been proposed: focus on the development of an innovative product or service; relatively short period of existence with subsequent transformation, sale or termination of existence; scientific potential of the start-up founders; registration of a start-up in the legal form of an individual entrepreneur or a legal entity. The organisational and legal forms of entrepreneurial activity have been analysed and it has been concluded which forms are the most convenient and favourable for registration of start-ups.
