Los cuidados paliativos son la asistencia activa, global e integral al paciente que padece una enfermedad progresiva, incurable y avanzada al final de la vida, sus objetivos principales son: el control del dolor y demás síntomas, apoyo emocional al enfermo y familia, preservar el bienestar y la calidad de vida. Cabe señalar, que la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) afirma que la accesibilidad, investigación, disponibilidad y recursos son limitados para los cuidados paliativos, sin embargo, se ambiciona contribuir específicamente en la detección y atención temprana de los pacientes con necesidades de cuidados paliativos para permitir mejorar la calidad de vida y evitar que se continúen tratamientos que causan un mayor perjuicio en la vida del paciente y su familia, evitando también costos excesivos e innecesarios por el mal uso de los recursos que podrían ser efectivos con otras patologías accesibles a la curación. En concreto, es fundamental mencionar que el enfermo terminal debe recibir cuidados paliativos integrales y de calidad con el fin de contribuir en la humanización de la medicina, de modo que, se brinda cuidados paliativos a los enfermos que no pueden ser curados.
En definitiva, tanto el crecimiento demográfico como el incremento de la esperanza de vida se ha evidenciado consecuencias como el aumento de las enfermedades crónicas y con ello controversias morales sobre los límites de tratamientos médicos al final de la vida. Por esta razón, los cuidados paliativos mantendrán altas demandas y el interés en las próximas décadas. No obstante, en la actualidad se ha ido reconociendo paulatinamente tanto en el dominio internacional como nacional y en el caso de Ecuador existe la Sociedad Ecuatoriana de Cuidados Paliativos (SECUP) reconocida por el Ministerio de Salud Pública en el año 2010 con el objetivo de evidenciar el interés por atender a las personas con enfermedades crónicas, a sus familias y/o cuidadores en los diferentes niveles de atención. Por tal motivo, este libro tiene como principio aportar una contribución teórica y epistémica a los estudios direccionados a los cuidados paliativos, considerando específicamente como objeto de estudio la realidad del Ecuador.

A "Constitution" Without A Constitution - The Israeli Experience
Authors: Zamir Avi
Published: October 2023

A written comprehensive constitution, usually defined as ” formal”, is not the only form the constitution might take. There are unwritten constitutions, such as in the UK and Israel, that include laws prescribing constitutional principles and landmark decisions of the Supreme Court. In the Israeli legal system, which has neither a written constitution nor an entrenched bill of rights, human rights guarantees are incorporated into the constitutional arena by a presumption developed by the Supreme Court based on the Israeli Declaration of Independence, which states that the country will be established “on the foundation of freedom”. In doing so, the court followed the “Background Understanding Model”. Under this model, which is similar to the interpretive theory in the USA, there is a general understanding of civil rights, human rights, the rule of law, separation of powers, and other fundamental principles. In March 1992, a significant event occurred in the Israeli constitutional arena. The Knesset (The Israeli Parliament) enacted the Basic Law Freedom of Occupation and Basic Law Human Dignity and Liberty. These laws formed a “Constitutional revolution” and imposed restrictions on the power of the Knesset to pass any law it pleased. In enacting those Basic Laws, Israel has joined the family of nations that believe that limitations must be set on the right of a majority to derogate from fundamental human rights. However, these fragile achievements might be under constant threat.
Enforceability of autonomous bank warranties in the perimeter of business-to-business loans
Authors: Goicovici Juanita
Published: October 2023

he paper focuses on the problematics of the enforceability of autonomous bank warranties and security agreements, accompanying B2B loans, which continuously raised multiple interrogations for legal practitioners. Firstly, the paper approaches the enforceable character of the non-jurisdictional title materialized as a bank guarantee, which is not expressly regulated under European Contract Law. The salient question arises as to whether, under the current provisions of Romanian Law, particularly in the light of the provisions of Article 120 of Governmental Extraordinary Ordinance no. 99/2006, the fiduciary guarantee contracts, concluded by a credit institution, could constitute enforceable titles. Secondly, specific attention is devoted to the issue of identifying enforceable autonomous bank guarantees as an extrinsic enforceability not being incidentally mirrored in the main legal relationship, particularly of the bank credit agreement. Thirdly, the paper examines whether it remains possible for the enforceability deduced from the intrinsic value of the debt specified by the autonomous bank guarantee, to be conjugated with their irrevocable specificity, which would be established between the main contract (as the generator of the executability of the guaranteed bank loan) and the considered personal guarantees (passive solidarity of debtors) as accessories of the B2B credit agreement. Under the current jurisprudence, it remains crucial to establish the autonomous nature of the payment warranties, especially for the autonomous counter-guarantee, as suretyship varieties where the guarantor undertakes to fulfil the debtor’s obligations in the hypotheses that the latter fails to perform.
Potential of EU Draft Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence to Contribute to a Coherent Framework of Corporate Accountability for Human Rights Violations
Authors: Ćorić Vesna , Knežević Bojović Ana , Matijević Milica V.
Published: October 2023

Currently, the field of business and human rights is at a crossroads in terms of normative development, as two major legislative instruments are being negotiated at the regional and international levels. The first instrument is a proposal for a directive aimed at ensuring business responsibility for the respect of human rights and the environment within the European Union, or in other words a proposal for a Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence. The second one is a proposal of a legally binding instrument on transnational corporations and other business enterprises with respect to human rights, commonly referred to as the Third Revised Draft Treaty on Business and Human Rights, which is being developed by the open-ended intergovernmental working group established by the Human Rights Council in 2014. Given such parallel developments, it would seem prudent for the ongoing efforts to be interlinked so as to contribute to creating consistent legal solutions governing corporate accountability for human rights violations at international and supranational fora. This is particularly relevant in the context of rapid globalization, where transnational corporations can exploit legal and regulatory loopholes at the cost of human rights and the environment. This paper analyses the two legislative drafts with the aim of determining to what extent those two draft hard law instruments reflect the applicable international soft law standards and contribute to the creation of a complementary and mutually reinforcing regulatory framework. The analysis shows the differences in the scope and approaches utilized in the two instruments and identifies gaps and shortcomings in the proposed solutions from the standpoint of effective protection of the victims’ rights. The analysis shows that the two proposed legislative texts are for the most part mutually complementary and it points to the ways in which their norms can be read together so as to enable a coherent and consistent legal framework and ensure legal certainty. The authors also argue that the two legislators should utilize the drafting process to address the identified discrepancies in the existing normative framework in order to achieve the best results.

Non-memorizing evolutionary authentication algorithm using the preference symbols for secondary authentication
Authors: KwangCheol Rim
Published: October 2023

In today’s diverse society, the need to authenticate system connections and management authority iscontinuously rising. Using the same password in all authentication processes is dangerous. Numerousmethods have been proposed for document security, document management, and minimizationof risk due to insiders. All these methods require secondary authentication for important documents.Since users can only create passwords within the range of human cognitive intelligence, these arevulnerable to attacks. This paper proposes an algorithm that generates passwords without requiringmemorization. It examines existing non-memorization type algorithms, and proposes an algorithmthat solves the disadvantages, of the inconvenience of new hardware and the cost of implementingnew infrastructure, afflicting existing algorithms. Initial data regarding individual preferences werecollected, and a statistical authentic method using these data was designed. We first examined the coincidenceof preference symbols through a survey in order to ensure statistical safety. The preferencesymbols authentication algorithm was proposed based on the results of the survey. Our proposed systemfor secondary authentication in internal security without memorization is convenient for users,and provides excellent statistical security against known attacks.

Authors: Marcin P. Pawlowski  , Antonio J. Jara  , Maciej J. Ogorzalek
Published: October 2023

One of the basic fundamentals for the current cryptosystems is high entropy random number generator.The cryptosystems that been based on the weak random number generators will not provideadequate level of security. The high entropy random number generators for the Internet of Thingsare very hard due to the fact of the inherited limitations of the highly constrained devices. For thepurpose of the random number generation in the constrained environments, four entropy harvestingmethods have been proposed and evaluated. As the potential source of the entropy the on-board integratedsensors (i.e. temperature, humidity and two light sensors) have been analysed. Additionallythe costs (i.e. time and memory consumption) of the presented approach have been evaluated toassess the requirements for the Internet of Things applications. The results obtained from the firstmethod using temperature and both light sensors have been characterized with high Shannon entropyof around 7.5. The fastest entropy harvesting methods were based on the light sensors. Presentedresults indicate that it is feasible to design high entropy true random number generator that have beenbased on the integrated on-board sensor that will be fast and require very few memory resources fromthe constrained device.

Authors: Lewis Nkenyereye  , Kyung Hyune Rhee
Published: October 2023

Natural disasters such as typhoon or earthquake requires an efficient disaster rescue system in orderto minimize the losses. Vehicular cloud Computing (VCC) which integrates cloud computing withinthe vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) offers a suitable platform especially for disaster assistanceand rescue teams (DART) which use vehicles to reach the disaster locations. Current protocolsfor disaster services cover the assignment of rescue mission to the vehicles heading to the disasterscenes. However, some disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis can repeatedly happen within ashort interval, requiring the disaster documents to be updated continuously for better rescue services.In this paper we present a secure protocol for emergency services over vehicular cloud computingwhich enables the DART vehicles to access disaster scenes and have updated information of disasterscenes during their activities. The proposed protocol is not based on bilinear operations unlikethe existing secure rescue services. We make use of linear secret sharing scheme (LSSS) coupledwith attribute based encryption (ABE), geo-encryption and ID-based signature to guarantee the securityobjectives. We verify the efficiency of the proposed protocol through performance evaluations.

Published: October 2023

: Evaluating the correlation and driving the regression formula between stature and cephalic dimensions when skull remains can only be available for forensic examination have been the targets of scientists for many years. The present research aimed to make a cephalic measurements database, suggesting a regression formula for stature reconstruction and computation of the cephalic index for the Lur and Arab populations dwelling in the southwest of Iran. In this cross-sectional analytical study, three cephalic measurements, including maximum cephalic length (MCL), maximum cephalic breadth (MCB), maximum auricular head height (MAHH), and total height, were taken in 200 healthy students (100 males and 100 females, aged 18 - 30 years old) studying at Abadan University of Medical Sciences. Our findings revealed significant gender differences in all mean cephalic measurements (P ≤ 0.05). According to the prediction final model, MCB and MAHH are effective variables in stature estimation. The stature estimation equation for southwest Iranian males and females is stature = 51.77 + 3.47 MCB + 3.86 MAHH + 0.53 MCL. The computation of the cephalic index represented that most female subjects had mesocephalic (medium-headed) and most male subjects had brachycephalic (short-headed) cephalic categories. This study showed a significant correlation between cephalic dimensions and stature. The obtained regression formula of this study can be used in medico-legal subjects to diagnose the personal identity of a southwest Iranian corpse.

Published: October 2023

Background: Tissue engineering is the application system that tries to restore damaged tissues by different approaches, such as cellular therapy, application of cell differential factors, and various materials. One of the important goals in tissue engineering is to guide stem cells directly to the desired tissue, and researchers tried to utilize different molecules as effective factors to improve this technique. Objectives: This study aims to demonstrate the effects of diacerein, a slow-acting drug for the treatment of osteoarthritis, on mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and evaluate its potential in the chondrogenesis process. Methods: Stem cells were isolated from adipose tissue, characterized by flow cytometry, and cells were treated with 10-5M diacerein for three weeks. Chondrogenic gene expression of SOX9, COL2A1, ACAN, and TGFB1 were analyzed by qRT-PCR and immunocytochemistry techniques. Results: Our results showed that diacerein increased the expression of the following genes involved in chondrogenesis: SOX9 (2.9-fold, P < 0.00), COL2A1 (2.2-fold, P < 0.00), ACAN (2.7-fold, P < 0.00), and TGFB1 (2.6-fold, P < 0.00). Immunocytochemistry results also showed increased production of collagen type II as the main protein marker for chondrocytes. Conclusions: We observed that diacerein alone could initiate and enhance chondrogenesis, and it can be used as a differentiation factor for stem cells to chondrocyte besides its ability to inhibit IL-1β. Knowing the actual function of diacerein, it could be a good candidate for the treatment of osteoarthritis.
Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffolds: Should We use Them Again?
Authors: Laksono Sidhi
Published: October 2023

Context: An important development in the percutaneous management of coronary artery disease was the creation of the drug-eluting stent (DES). The DES reduces the high incidence of target lesion revascularization associated with balloon angioplasty and bare metal stents by overcoming vessel recoil and restenosis. Despite these advantages, DES carries a persistent risk of stent-related problems due to the permanent implantation of a foreign body and the limitation of arterial vasomotion. Similar to DES, bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BRS) are intended to distribute drugs and offer mechanical support before completely degrading over the years. Evidence Acquisition: This study was a review article. The data were acquired from PubMed and Google Scholar. Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms were used when available, and only English articles were included in the review. Results: Recent studies have shown that the BRS is not inferior to modern DES clinically, although some clinical results are worrying, particularly the greater rates of scaffold thrombosis. Early studies showed that BRS was superior to DES; nevertheless, larger-scale applications and longer observations revealed serious problems with their use, such as reduced radial strength and a higher risk of thrombosis, which led to a higher rate of serious adverse cardiac events. Conclusions: The position of DES was not directly challenged by additional attention to procedural details and research on the second generation of BRS with innovative features. Bioresorbable vascular scaffolds still have an opportunity to demonstrate their supremacy in standout indicators.

Background: Evidence suggests that healthy dietary patterns such as Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH), Mediterranean diet (MED), and Healthy Eating Index 2015 (HEI-2015) may reduce the risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) albeit with controversial results. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate possible associations between the NAFLD risk and adherence to the MED, DASH, and HEI-2015 diets. Methods: A case-control study was conducted involving 122 NAFLD patients and 122 non-NAFLD patients. A gastroenterologist confirmed the NAFLD diagnosis. A 147-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used to collect the dietary data, and the scores for MED, DASH diet, and HEI-2015 were obtained. Multivariable logistic regression was used to calculate the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (Cis). Results: The highest pentile of adherence to the DASH diet was significantly associated with the lowest risk of NAFLD (OR: 0.37, 95% CI: 0.14 - 0.92, P trend = 0.03). This association remained significant after adjustment for the confounding variable NAFLD (OR: 0.33, 95% CI: 0.11 - 0.96, P trend = 0.04). No significant difference was found between NAFLD risk and adherence to the MED and HEI-2015. Conclusions: This study demonstrated that the highest score of adherence to the DASH diet was associated with the lowest risk of NAFLD.

The rise of social media platforms has sparked significant interest among Natural Language Processing (NLP) researchers in Sentiment Analysis over the past few decades. Numerous studies have focused on analyzing the sentiment of different languages, including Urdu, which is widely spoken in South Asia and serves as the national language of Pakistan. While considerable research has been conducted on sentiment analysis using Machine Learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), and other methods, Roman Urdu sentiment analysis holds equal importance. This paper presents a comprehensive analysis of existing literature on sentiment analysis of various languages, with a specific focus on Roman text and approaches such as ML, DL, and others. Additionally, the paper proposes new directions for future researchers in this field.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological condition that has an impact on the development of the brain, resulting in difficulties with social interaction, restrictive or repetitive behaviors and has been a concern due to its increasing prevalence. Facial expressions are a crucial aspect of human communication, as they are more impactful than words particularly in face-to-face interactions. Absence of facial expressions is a common symptom in people generally suffering from ASD. Teaching emotional detection at an early stage, specifically during childhood, is essential for improving one's ability to detect emotions.Assistive technology stands out as a crucial innovation in enhancing the quality of life for individuals with autism. This research demonstrates the application and utilization of a fundamental structure of Convolutional Neural Network to educate children diagnosed with ASD to recognize human emotions. The method utilizes a convolutional neural network (CNN) to classify  fundamental facial emotions: anger, fear, happy, neutral, sadness, and surprise and assist children diagnosed with ASD in learning to identify human emotions.

Emotions and Moral Judgment
Authors: Taccolini Josh ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2023

One desideratum for contemporary theories of emotion both in philosophy and affective science is an explanation of the relation between emotions and objects that illicit them. According to one research tradition in emotion theory, the Evaluative Tradition, the explanation is simple: emotions just are evaluative judgments about their objects. Growing research in affective science support this claim suggesting that emotions constitute (or contribute to) evaluative judgments such as moral judgments about right and wrong. By contrast, recent scholarship in two historical emotion theories, Augustinian and Thomistic, emphasize their sharp distinction between cognitive judgments and affectivity or between reason and emotion. For these historical models, reason, not emotion, is responsible for moral judgment. Are the evaluative and historical models at irreconcilable odds? Should we discard old models that fail to satisfy intuitions about the intricate role of emotions in moral judgment? This paper compares these research programs and suggests a roadmap for collaboration.
Hildebrandian Importance as a Scale of Forms
Authors: Gamache Joseph ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2023

The present work argues that value is a properly philosophical concept, the study and understanding of which therefore requires philosophical inquiry. It does so by bringing together two, quite different, philosophers: R. G. Collingwood and Dietrich von Hildebrand. From the former, this work takes its account of what differentiates philosophical concepts. From the latter, it takes the concept of importance as differentiated into intrinsic value, objective goodness, and subjective satisfaction. After explicating the distinctive features of philosophical concepts (the intensional overlap of their classes and their situation on a “scale of forms”), it argues that, despite prima facie difficulties, von Hildebrand’s categories of importance can be arrayed as a scale of forms, in which the categories of importance are not only differences in kind, but also differences in degree. The overall result is one illustration of how philosophers can argue for philosophy’s special domain of competence.
