The Cyprinus carpio fish belongs to the family Cyprinidae and nutritionally consists of beneficial amino acids and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, consuming fish contaminated with pathogenic bacteria causes serious human health issues. The study aimed to identify pathogenic bacteria, antibiogram profile and extended-spectrum-beta-lactamase (ESBL) producing bacteria, and nutritional composition of C. carpio fish in Peshawar, Pakistan. Fish samples (30 uncooked and 30 cooked) were collected from Peshawar and analyzed in the laboratory to detect pathogenic bacteria. The bacteria were isolated, and different sorts of staining and biochemical tests including Catalase, Oxidase, Triple sugar iron, Urease, Citrate utilization, Indole etc,. were performed for identification. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern was tested on Muller Hinton agar medium (MHA) against nine antibiotics. Nutritional analysis of raw and cooked meat was performed using the Association of Official Analytical Chemists procedure. The results showed that E. coli has the highest resistance (100%) towards Tetracycline and Penicillin, while K. pneumonia showed the highest antibiotic resistance (100%) against Tetracycline, Oxacillin, Ampicillin, and Penicillin. Sheigilla was observed to the highest resistance against Penicillin and Oxacillin, which was 100%, and Salmonella showed the highest resistivity (100%) towards Tetracycline, Oxacillin, and Penicillin. Similarly, Tetracycline, Oxacillin, and Ampicillin showed the highest antibiotic resistance (100%) toward S. aureus. In 60 samples, 105 bacterial species (E. coli, Salmonella, Sheigella, Klebsiella, and S. aureus) were isolated. All isolated bacteria were ESBL producing except S. aureus. The results showed that crude fat (3.5-10.4%), crude fiber (0.23-0.38%), crude ash (5.6-5.7%), crude protein (69.03-89%), and moisture (4.6-5.8%) were greater in uncooked fish meat as compared to cooked fish meat. The study concludes that the high prevalence of pathogenic bacteria in uncooked meat is observed compared to cooked meat of C. carpio. Uncooked fish meat is more nutritious than cooked fish meat as the amount of protein, fats, fiber, ash, and moisture decreases during cooking.

Previous studies have indicated that induction chemotherapy can limit the possibility of early lesion eradication and lessen the severity of globally advanced tumors. This study aimed to ascertain if cyclin D1 expression in OSCC patients who were qualified for TPF induction chemotherapy might be regarded as a valid prognostic indicator for long-term outcomes. This study aimed to determine whether or not there was a connection between OSCC cell intervention and the production of cyclin D1 and chemosensitivity to TPF medicines through the apoptotic mechanism. The current work used immunohistochemistry to determine the expression of cyclin D1 in various tissues. To ascertain the survival rate of 232 people diagnosed with locally advanced oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), the study utilized the log-rank test and Kaplan-Meier analysis. The participants in this historical clinical trial were observed for a mean duration of five years. Cytotoxicity assays were employed to assess the therapeutic effectiveness of TPF chemotherapy drugs. The activity of caspase-3 and PARP was evaluated in the HB96, CAL27, and HN30 cell lines following cyclin D1 inhibition, respectively. Long-term clinical outcomes were significantly better for patients with OSCC whose cancer cells expressed low amounts of cyclin D1 than those whose cells expressed high protein levels. Time to initial illness occurrence, time to initial local recurrence, time to mortality, and overall survival were among the metrics evaluated. The groups with low and high expression levels of cyclin D1 showed significantly different survival rates for disease-free survival, overall survival (OS), DMFS, local recurrence-free survival, and local recurrence-free survival (p0.001, 0.003, 0.004, and 0.001, respectively). Patients with cN2 oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) with higher cyclin D1 expression had better distant metastasis-free survival (OS, P=0.024; DMFS, P=0.024) and overall survival (OS, P=0.024; DMFS, P=0.024) with TPF induction chemotherapy. However, patients with cN2 OSCC and low cyclin D1 expression did not show this survival advantage (P=0.024). Research has shown that oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is more sensitive to TPF-based chemotherapeutic drugs using caspase-3-mediated apoptosis that occurs when cyclin D1 expression rises. Based on these results, TPF induction chemotherapy may provide longer-term benefits than traditional treatment approaches for patients with cN2 OSCC and high cyclin D1 expression. Through a caspase-3-dependent mechanism, oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) cell lines become more susceptible to TPF chemotherapeutic drugs when cyclin D1 is overexpressed.

The study aimed to determine the frequency of Doppler velocimetry usage in high-risk pregnancies and to compare the results between patients who received Doppler velocimetry and those who did not manage high-risk pregnancies. This descriptive study was conducted between January 2022 and December 2022 in the Gynaecology and Obstetrics Department of PUMHS Nawabshah. A total of 110 pregnant women were admitted to the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology's OPD and ER. Both the patient and their guardian signed an informed consent form. Fifty-five patients underwent Doppler ultrasound in group I, while 55 patients did not have Doppler ultrasound in group II. A blood sample was obtained from each patient for baseline tests such as complete blood count, electrolytes, blood sugar level, blood urea, serum creatinine, and others. All data was analyzed using SPSS 26.0.  The patient's mean age in group I was 26.12±6.39 years with a body mass index of 25.7±5.24 kg/m2, and in group II, the mean age was 27.4±10.67 years with a body mass index of 26.13±5.57 kg/m2. Gestational age in group I was 37.15±8.38 weeks, and in group II was 36.9±7.43 weeks. Frequency of C-section in group I was found in 30 (54.5%) and in group II was in 41 (74.5%) cases with p <0.004. Preterm deliveries were higher in group II in 26 (47.3%) cases than in group I in 15 (27.3%) cases. Abnormal amniotic fluid was higher in group I in 27 (49.1%) cases than in group II in 20 (36.4%). Doppler studies played a significant role in managing high-risk pregnancies and improving perinatal and neonatal outcomes. However, using other fetal well-being tests already well-established in clinical practice at each institution affects the role of Doppler studies in late pregnancy.
Родительские представления о практиках поддержки самоорганизации подростков
Authors: Королева Яна
Published: December 2023

Статья посвящена представлениям современных родителей о собственных практиках поддержки самоорганизации их детей-подростков. Приводятся результаты эмпирического исследования того, как родители рассматривают взаимосвязи применяемых ими родительских практик с развитием самоорганизации и академической успеваемостью подростков. В исследовании приняли участие информанты из 14 семей – родители и их дети-подростки 11-15 лет. В ходе анализа интервью были выявлены и описаны взгляды родителей на родительские практики, а также особенности их выбора (при этом вводится различение гибкого или ригидного репертуара практик). Результаты показали, что родители, сообщающие об умении по-разному реагировать на различные ситуации (то есть о более гибком репертуаре практик), переживают себя как более компетентных, а своих детей воспринимают как более академически успешных и эффективных с точки зрения самоорганизации, тогда как родители с более узким и ригидным репертуаром, применяющие жесткий контроль или непоследовательные в своих практиках, чаще сообщают о своей низкой родительской компетентности и неэффективности своих практик поддержки самоорганизации детей-подростков.
Воспринимаемая самостоятельность молодежи в различных типах внеучебной активности
Authors: Цыганова Екатерина , Бочавер Александра , Ерофеева Виктория
Published: December 2023

Значительную роль в жизни молодых людей играет их внеучебная активность: досуг, хобби, спортивная и творческая деятельность. Предположительно, она может выступать благоприятной средой для проявления самостоятельности, в особенности если она самостоятельно организована (не структурирована взрослыми и институтами) и в ней отсутствуют внешние мотивирующие факторы. С целью описать то, как молодежь выделяет свою самостоятельность во внеучебной активности, было проведено 30 полуструктурированных интервью с участниками в возрасте от 11 до 24 лет из 15 городов России. В исследовании была использована рамка понимания самостоятельности через независимость и волевое функционирование. Проявление самостоятельности сравнивалось в двух видах внеучебной активности информантов: структурированной и неструктурированной. Были поставлены три исследовательских вопроса: как различаются описания проявления самостоятельности во внеучебной активности у тех, кто характеризует самостоятельность как независимость и как волевое функционирование, есть ли различия в проявлении самостоятельности молодежи в структурированной и неструктурированной внеучебной активности, с их точки зрения, а также какова роль тренеров, преподавателей и родителей в поддержании или ограничении их самостоятельности? Показано, что информанты двух типов самостоятельности по-разному описывали ее проявление во внеучебной активности. Вид активности играл роль в расширении диапазона описываемой самостоятельности: в неструктурированной активности информантами обоих типов самостоятельности выделялись два новых ее аспекта. Роль тренеров и родителей неоднозначно воспринималась информантами и сводилась как к поддержке самостоятельности, так и к ее ограничению. Сделан вывод о значимости внеучебной активности, в особенности неструктурированной, в развитии самостоятельности молодежи.
Risk-taking Behaviour: The Role of Dark Triad Traits, Impulsivity, Sensation Seeking and Adverse Childhood Experience
Authors: Babakr Zana , Fatahi Nabi
Published: December 2023

Objective: Dark Triad Traits, Adverse Childhood Experiences, impulsivity and sensation seeking significantly influence whether one engages in or avoids various risk behaviours and personality throughout life. Objective: The present study aimed to investigate how Dark Triad Traits, Adverse Childhood Experience and impulsivity sensation influence risk taking behaviour personality throughout life. Methods: The sample included 222 university students from four universities, 82 males (36.9%) and 140 females (63.1%), and aged between 18 and 51 years. Results: The results showed that adverse childhood experiences, psychopathy, narcissism, impulsivity and sensation-seeking predicted risk taking. Machiavellianism, on the other hand, did not significantly predict risk taking. Based on results adverse childhood experiences predicted all personality factors and that psychopathy, narcissism, impulsivity and sensationalism indirectly predicted risk taking. Conclusion: The results indicate that early childhood experiences are a significant factor in personality traits and that positive early experiences could lead to minimising risk taking and reducing levels of impulsivity, sensation-seeking and dark triad traits.
Atypical Polypoid Adenoma – A Histopathological Enigma
Authors: Patkar Rakesh , Mishra Shilpa
Published: December 2023

Atypical polypoid adenomyoma is an infrequent intrauterine polypoidal lesion. As per WHO classification of female genital tumors published in 2020, APA is classified as a mixed epithelial and mesenchymal tumor. The epithelial component comprises endometrioid-type glands with complex architecture, mild cytological atypia and fibromyomatous stroma with morular metaplasia. We present a case of a 32-year-old female with primary infertility; hysteroscopy showed a smooth polypoidal lesion over anterior wall of uterus. Complete transcervical resection of the lesion was done. Histopathology showed all the prementioned features of atypical polypoid adenomyoma and there was no other associated pathology. Since the patient desired fertility preservation, a conservative management plan with follow up was done. This lesion mostly involves women of fertile age group, hence differentiation from pre-malignant/malignant lesions is of utmost importance as fertility preservation can be done for this lesion. In older patients where fertility preservation is not required hysterectomy is advised in view of risk of recurrence.
Anaesthetic management Of Cerebral abscess drainage In a child with uncorrected Double outlet right ventricle (DORV) a case report
Authors: Dubey Rohini , Saigal Deepti , Dalal Niti
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Double Outlet Right Ventricle is a cyanotic congenital heart disease where both the great arteries, aorta and pulmonary artery arise from the morphologic right ventricle and a ventricular septal defect(VSD) is present. Children with uncorrected DORV can present for non-cardiac surgeries. Such patients are at a higher risk to develop cerebral abscess because of right to left shunting of blood and absence of pulmonary clearance of microorganisms. Such cases pose a significant challenge for the anesthesiologists.
Case summary: I present a case of six years female child with uncorrected DORV with multiple cerebral abscess, grade 4 clubbing with presence of central cyanosis and peripheral oxygen saturation of 73% on room air. Central nervous system examination revealed a drowsy child with features of raised ICP and a GCS of E4V2M5. The child underwent drainage of brain abscess under general anesthesia with controlled mechanical ventilation and invasive monitoring and had uneventful recovery.
Conclusion: The mainstay of anaesthetic management of a patient with uncorrected congenital cyanotic heart disease aims at maintaining systemic vascular resistance(SVR) higher than pulmonary vascular resistance(PVR). Reduction in PVR can be achieved by increasing inspired oxygen concentration, countering acidosis by elective hyperventilation, avoiding hypothermia, hypercarbia and acidosis.

Nous rapportons le cas d’une apparente récidive carcinologique au sein d’un lambeau frontal réalisé dans le cadre d’une couverture de perte de substance après exérèse d’un carcinome basocellulaire du nez. Trois hypothèses seraient ainsi susceptibles d’expliquer cette « apparente récidive » : En premier lieu, il est logique d’évoquer une simple récidive de la lésion initiale. Aussi une exérèse initiale incomplète. La dernière hypothèse est donc celle du transfert au sein du lambeau d’un carcinome basocellulaire. Cette conclusion nous incite à être vigilants en matière de surveillance chez tels patients.
Follicular thyroid carcinoma detected in ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA PET/CT imaging. Case report.
Authors: Rodriguez Edward , Aguirre Sara , Varela Humberto , Martinez Maria , Hidalgo Nathalie
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is a type II transmembrane glycoprotein located on the cell membrane, initially discovered in prostate cells, and highly expressed in the cells and metastases of prostate carcinoma. 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT is a molecular imaging technique widely used in the algorithm of this pathology. PSMA expression has been observed in several malignancies, usually incidentally. We report a case of follicular thyroid carcinoma detected in ⁶⁸Ga-PSMA PET/CT. To our knowledge, only 3 cases have been reported in the literature to date.

Clinical findings: Patient with a history of prostate cancer adenocarcinoma, who after initial treatment, presented biochemical recurrence. A Ga68-PSMA PET/CT was performed, showing uptake of the radiopharmaceutical in the left thyroid lobe.

Interventions: The patient was evaluated by the head and neck specialty, taken to total thyroidectomy plus central dissection. The pathology report confirms a follicular thyroid carcinoma.

Conclusion: Ga68-PSMA PET/CT is a molecular image with high diagnostic performance in prostate cancer, however, its uptake in other solid tumors is well established, so attention should be paid to these uptakes, since the the vast majority may be related to another type of primary tumor. This is an example of PSMA uptake in follicular carcinoma of the thyroid.

Authors: B Veeresh , Bandla Srinivas
Published: December 2023

The flaxseed oil (FSO) rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) were supplemented orally to ten male and female neonatal calves from day 6 of birth to day 28 to improve resilience to disease incidences (TG) and compared to calves reared without PUFA supplement (CG). The PUFA supplementation in liquid form was discontinued on day 29 and fed as bolus consisting of 25 g of ground flaxseed and 25 g of jaggery until day 90. The total dry matter intake in cluding milk solids in neonata calves was 400 g in CG and 428 g in TG (P=0.38). Digestible DMI, CP and energy intake in male and female calves of TGs was significantly (P< 0.05) higher the CG. However, the body weight gain in calves during neonatal (P=0.08) and preweaning (P=0.14) age was comparable between groups. The serum IgG were 30 mg/mL on day 2 but higher in calves in TGs on day 7 (P=0.08) and day 14 (P=0.07)after birth but comparable in subsequent period until day 30 after birth. Calves resilience to diarrhea, pyrexia, anorexia, skin infection, profused lacrimation, navel ill, muzzle keratinization, umbilical hernia, fecal consistency (FC), and egg count (FEC) were examined. PUFA supplementation reduced the disease risk rate in TG by 42% (P< 0.001) and diarrhea by three folds compared to CG. Haemoglobin, erythrocytes, and lymphocytes improved significantly from day 30 after birth. The intervention was recommended to reduce calf mortality and imrpoved health and body weight gain during neonatal and preweaning age.

A DISTOPIA DO FILME JUIZ DREDD E AS ATUAIS FACES DO CONTROLE SOCIAL
Authors: De Lima Vladimir Sampaio Soares
Published: December 2023

Alto índice de desemprego, pauperização da população, violência social extrema, um Estado que só aparece para sua população em sua faceta do direito penal, punindo discricionariamente as pessoas, com leis draconianas e sem subjetividade. Esses elementos expostos poderiam ter relação com a descrição de qualquer Estado contemporâneo, tendo em vista que essas são características próprias do novo estágio do capitalismo, o neoliberalismo. Entretanto, os indicadores acima apontados têm relação com um quadrinho, e com um filme, ambos chamados Juiz Dredd. Essa história se passa num futuro distópico, no próximo século, e contém elementos próprios, obviamente com uma lente de aumento sobre os fenômenos, dos ditos Estados penais, liberais economicamente e punitivos contra os mais pobres. Para realizar a análise dos elementos existentes nos quadrinhos, e no filme, será utilizado o referencial teórico da Criminologia Crítica, em especial àquela vertente ligada ao sociólogo Loïc Wacquant em sua obra Punir os Pobres, bem como com outros trabalhos deste autor sobre os imbricamentos entre Estado penal e neoliberalismo. Esta é a inquietação que orienta o presente artigo: analisar as temáticas inseridas no filme Juiz DREDD, com o auxílio de alguns arcos narrativos dos quadrinhos – a revista faz 46 anos esse ano, não seria possível revisitar toda a obra -, acerca do chamado controle social, tendo como norte que a função do sistema penal não declarada, em sua concepção mais radical, é a gestão da miséria de forma seletiva, de acordo com os interesses morais e econômicos dos setores hegemônicos do capitalismo. A tarefa é analisar o universo do Juiz Dredd enquanto objeto criminológico, ou seja, como o fenômeno social, pois este agente da lei, por deter as competências para realizar prisões, acusar, condenar e executar, e, até mesmo, matar criminosos com sua arma chamada Legisladora, tem mais proximidade com nossas narrativas históricas atuais do que um improvável futuro distópico.

Authors: ALTIN Fatma Gül , YALÇINKAYA Mervin
Published: December 2023

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) agreement was signed in 2020 as a giant free trade agreement signed by 15 countries, including China. In this context, the RCEP agreement is the world's largest free trade agreement in terms of GDP and trade volume. In this study, commercial relations between RCEP countries between 2012 (the year when negotiations of the RCEP agreement began) and 2021 were examined using social network analysis. In the analyses, export values of RCEP countries to each other were used and the data were obtained from Trade Map. In the study, social network analyzes for the years 2012, 2015, 2018 and 2021 were analyzed using the Ucinet program, while trade networks were visualized with the Gephi program. For social network analyses, basic ego network indicators, degree centrality values, hub and authority centrality values and eigenvector values were calculated. As a result of the analysis, it is seen that the hub and authority country in trade between RCEP countries is China for all four years (2012, 2015, 2018 and 2021). On the other hand, it has been determined that China's most important trade partners are Japan and South Korea. Additionally, the development in Vietnam's trade level during this period is remarkable.
Haiti's Political Turmoil: An Examination of its Implications on Foreign Direct Investment
Authors: LOUIS-JACQUES Pierre Richard , ABDUL KADER Sheikh
Published: December 2023

Haiti is a country with a history of political instability and faces considerable challenges in attracting foreign direct investment (FDI). This study investigates the impact of political turmoil on FDI in Haiti from 1994 to 2020. The study relies on secondary data obtained from sources such as International Financial Statistics (IFS), World Development Indicators(WDI), and the International Country Risk Guide (ICRG). The study utilizes the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and the Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) statistical technique. The findings indicate that, over the long run, political instability and inflation have an adverse influence on FDI in Haiti. Conversely, exchange rate, interest rate, and trade openness positively affect FDI. However, these variables do not directly drive FDI in the short term but are influenced by external factors. This paper emphasizes the critical role of establishing a stable political environment, effectively managing inflation, and maintaining competitive exchange rates and interest rates to enhance FDI attraction. Additionally, promoting trade openness is deemed crucial.
Comprehensive Roll Damping Assessment and Motion Analysis for a Benchmark Container Ship
Authors: YENİLMEZ Rabia , ÇAKICI Ferdi
Published: December 2023

The primary purpose of this study is to investigate the damping characteristics of the ship’s roll motion. The second goal is to explore the damping effects on the solution of roll motion, considering the ship’s forward speed, wave frequency, and initial roll amplitude. Roll motion is a more critical yet less understood response compared to other degrees of freedom due to the complexity arising from viscosity. Roll damping comprises several components, which are divided into five categories with the assistance of empirical formulas created as a result of experiments. Wave damping is calculated by linear diffraction/radiation theory so it is a linear damping. Lift damping is also considered linear. However, eddy making, skin friction, and bilge keel damping are not linear due to dependency on the initial roll amplitude. The effects of roll amplitude, the ship’s forward speed, and wave frequency are investigated in this paper with the empirical formulas developed by Ikeda and Himeno. Frequency domain analyses of the roll motion are also conducted for the selected cases to demonstrate the credibility of the proposed paper. All algorithms have been developed in the MATLAB environment which is embedded with the YTU DEEP Ship Motion Program.
American Sign Language (ASL) Detection System using Machine Learning
Authors: Journal IJSREM
Published: December 2023

One of the main challenges of communicating with people who have hearing disabilities is to understand their sign language. This paper presents a dedicated research project to investigate the difficulties involved in recognizing characters in American Sign Language (ASL), which is the most widely used sign language in the world. Sign language is essential for communication among people with hearing or speech impairments, but it can be hard for those who are not familiar with it, as the signs made by people with disabilities may look complicated or messy. Effective communication requires a two-way exchange. This paper proposes a Sign Language detection system that uses American Sign Language, where users can take pictures of hand gestures through a web camera and get them analyzed.

A comprehensive study on algorithm visualization reveals insights into content distribution, creator demographics, and visualization quality. The associated wiki catalogues over 350 algorithm visualizations and includes an annotated bibliology on algorithm visualization literature. Unfortunately, the majority of visualizations are deemed low-quality, with a bias towards simpler topics. The report proposes the development of an e-learning tool focusing on specific visualizations like Pathfinder, Prime Numbers, Sorting Algorithms, N Queen, Convex Hull, and Binary Search Game. The absence of effective repositories for algorithm visualizations is recognized as a significant gap. Emphasizing the need for improved dissemination, the report suggests initiatives to inform developers about existing gaps and requirements within the field. It also underscores the importance of propagating established best practices for creating high-quality visualizations. In conclusion, the report highlights the urgency of addressing these deficiencies to cultivate a more robust and accessible ecosystem for algorithm visualization resources. Despite the challenges, there is a clear call to action to enhance the standard of algorithm visualizations and foster a more inclusive and informed community. Key Words: Algorithm, Visualization, Pathfinder, Sorting, Search Game.

Este trabajo pretende indagar sobre la igualdad de género en el seno de los ColegiosProfesionales de la Educación Física y del Deporte de España a lo largo de lahistoria. Partiendo de una revisión documental, se ha realizado un análisis cuantitativodel número de mujeres en las Juntas de Gobierno, la Comisión Permanentey el Pleno de la organización colegial estatal desde 1948, así como del número demujeres actuales en las Juntas de Gobierno de los Colegios autonómicos. Tambiénse ha realizado un análisis cualitativo de entrevistas realizadas a todas las integrantesde las Juntas de Gobierno actuales, sobre sus funciones colegiales y su visiónsobre la igualdad de género.Los resultados muestran que la participación de las mujeres en esta organizacióncolegial se ha producido desde su creación. Las mujeres que en la primera etapa seadentraron dentro de este colectivo prácticamente masculino pueden considerarsepioneras y aperturistas. Se desconoce si la evolución relativa de la participación femeninaen el Pleno del Consejo COLEF ha sido una consecuencia del aumento demujeres colegiadas desde los años 80 hasta la actualidad. Las funciones que realizanen las corporaciones no están relacionadas con el ejercicio de poder.Los datos obtenidos evidencian la evolución de la corporación y la desigualdad internaa nivel autonómico. En la actualidad se puede afirmar que el Consejo COLEFcuenta con un Pleno donde la representatividad femenina es muy pareja al porcentajede colegiación de mujeres, y que en el seno de la Comisión Permanente existe paridad,al igual que en algunas de las Juntas autonómicas.

A new method for direct spectrofluorimetric analysis of tyramine in various fish samples was established. Low limits of detection (LOD) between 0.53 ng/mL and 1.40 ng/mL and limits of quantification (LOQ) between 1.76 ng/mL and 4.68 ng/mL were obtained. Also, low values of relative standard deviations (RSD) between 0.30 % and 0.58 % were obtained; confirming good reproducibility of our measurements. The application of this method to our samples allowed the detection of tyramine with satisfactory recovery rates between 93.68 % and 106.60 %. Interference studies with different biogenic amines have shown that the determination of tyramine can be done without major problems in the presence of spermine, spermidine, and histamine. However, special attention should be paid when tyramine is determined in the presence of agmatine, cadaverine or putrescine. In all cases, the determination of tyramine is more influenced by the presence of tryptamine or dopamine in the sample.

Examining the domestic legal framework in selected African States that form part of the situational docket of the International Criminal Court

Against the backdrop of recent calls for reforms at the International Criminal Court (ICC), this paper examines the domestic legal framework in selected African States that form part of the situational docket of the Court as of the time of writing. Particularly, the paper assesses the missing gaps that cause lags in cooperation with the ICC, in the experience of African States and structural and other issues that should be revisited. Building on the cases of Kenya, Uganda, Côte d’Ivoire, Sudan, and Central African Republic (CAR), the paper establishes that African States have varying degrees of domestic legal reforms towards compliance with the ICC’s system of justice, and have made missteps that undermine their abilities to effectively confront impunity for alleged perpetrators of atrocity crimes. The States’ compliance levels are dependent on their methods of implementing the Rome Statute, and the political contexts under which the legal reforms unfold. Beyond the shortcomings in legal reform, the African States are confronted with rival normative frameworks, including amnesty, reconciliatory tones, and traditional justice mechanisms that have implications on their abilities to perform their primary responsibilities in accountability for core international crimes. As a remedial action to the States’ inadequacies in implementing the provisions of the Rome Statute, this paper recommends concerted efforts towards activating national and regional advocacy on ratification of recent amendments to the Statute in order to enhance their complete criminalization of core international crimes. The paper also calls for the activation of ‘positive complementarity’ as a framework for addressing state capacity gaps, including training national officials in drafting amendments to the ICC implementing legislations, and improving the understanding of national legislators on the missing links in their respective legal orders, and the need for amendments.
