La vinculación de los derechos humanos al medio ambiente y el desarrollo sostenible
Authors:   Universidad Juárez Autónoma de Tabasco, Palomeque Cruz Leticia
Published: November 2024

México es un país en el que su principal característica son los recursos naturales con los que cuenta, como son los recursos hídricos, la flora, la fauna, etc. Existe una gran cantidad y diversidad donde en comparación con otros estados, somos ricos. El problema radica precisamente en el mal aprovechamiento y gestión de los mismos, donde cada vez consumimos más y protegemos menos, lo que debiera ser el principal enfoque de protección y desarrollo, pareciera que es el punto a explotar sin medida olvidándose de protegerlo. Se toma como una fuente de dinero y no de subsistencia.
La reparación integral en los criterios de la Corte Interamericana de los Derechos Humanos

Published: November 2024

La palabra daño proviene del latín damnum, que significa “deterioro, menoscabo, destrucción, ofensa o dolor que se provoca en la persona, cosas o valores morales o sociales de alguien”. El concepto surge en Roma, en el año 287 a. C., en los comicios de la plebem y a propuesta del Tribunal Aquilio, La Lex Aquilia, que tenía por objeto regular la re-paración del daño causado a otro, delimitaba su contenido a los hechos de matar o herir a un animal o esclavo, o deteriorar e incluso destruir una cosa. Posteriormente, el Código de Hammurabi representó el primer documento normativo que incluyó en su texto un tipo de compensación, la cual consistía en la restitución, por el daño o el robo ocasionado a un sujeto, de hasta 30 veces más la cosa material del perjuicio; en caso de no tener los medios para la indemnización, se condenaba al culpable a muerte y la compensación corría a cuenta entonces del Estado (Brito, M. 2013).

Authors: M Yousuf , SB Qadri
Published: November 2024

The types and concentrations of gas hydrates collected from four different geological sites were analyzed using high-resolution angular dispersive X-ray powder diffraction, with synchrotron radiation as the source. Measurements were taken across a temperature range of 80 to 300 K and a pressure range of 0.1 to 80 MPa. All four gas hydrate samples showed the presence of three mixed crystal structures: structures I, II, and H. Additionally, the ice Ih structure was inherently present in all the natural gas hydrate minerals. The variation in the types and concentrations of gas hydrates can be attributed to the diversity of natural gases at different geographic locations.

Sri Lanka aims to transition away from a coal-dominant electricity sector within the next decade, aligning with sustainability goals outlined by the United Nations. In pursuit of affordable and clean energy sustainability, the Sri Lankan government has opted to shift its long-term energy policy towards renewable sources, departing from fossil fuels. Despite this shift, a significant portion of Sri Lanka's electricity consumption—approximately 600 MW from oil and 900 MW from coal—persists. The country now aims to source 80% of its energy from renewable sources, necessitating a focus on underutilized opportunities. In selecting the best candidate sites for Pumped Storage Power Plant (PSPP) design, comprehensive hydrological and sedimentation studies play a pivotal role. In this endeavor, we endeavor to re-rank the selected candidate sites for pumped storage power plants considering technical & financial feasibility by conducting comprehensive hydrological and sedimentation studies. These studies are pivotal for assessing the feasibility and long-term viability of potential sites, aiming to select the most sustainable candidate site in every aspect. Therefore, the primary objective of this research is to conduct a thorough hydrologic study of the proposed KMG and Dambagastalawa pump storage power plants, focusing on identifying potential energy-saving opportunities in pumping when these plants operate as open-loop systems. This study will analyze the hydrology of the upper ponds of the Kuda Oya, Mul Oya, and Gurugal Oya (KMG) pump storage power plants, and the Dambagastalawa Oya pump storage power plant, assessing the potential reduction in pumping energy. Such insights are essential for optimizing the design and operation of PSPPs to ensure economic viability and sustainable energy generation. Furthermore, this research addresses the importance of studying sedimentation in both the upper and lower ponds of the KMG and Dambagastalawa pump storage power plants. Sedimentation calculations will be performed to determine reservoir lifetimes, offering critical insights into the long-term feasibility and maintenance requirements of these projects. The findings of this study are expected to provide valuable guidance to policymakers, investors, and PSPP designers in selecting the most suitable sites for addressing Sri Lanka's peak power demands and urgent electricity needs. By emphasizing the significance of hydrological and sedimentation studies, this research underscores the importance of thorough site assessment in optimizing the design and operation of Pumped Storage Power Plants.

A ÉTICA COMO REFLEXO DO NÚMERO DE PROCESSOS EM TRÂMITE NA FASE DE CUMPRIMENTO DE SENTENÇA
Authors: MAGALHÃES , R. C.
Published: November 2024

A sociedade não institui regras escritas ou expressas para regular a convivência que alcance absolutamente todas as condutas humanas vistas e praticadas na vida cotidiana. Podemos dizer haver um acordo tácito construído gradualmente e historicamente ao longo de décadas de experiências humanas que se adequem aos padrões de cada tempo, tal como a formação de costumes. São padrões de condutas esperados e que regulam a sociedade em um contexto ético e moral, como sendo aquilo que se enquadra no que é esperado em determinada postura humana diante da realidade que se apresenta. Neste ponto, traz-se um questionamento interessante como forma de investigar até mesmo a possível causa do volume de processos judiciais inegavelmente existentes no Poder Judiciário brasileiro, que envolve perquirir se eventual desvio de postura ética ou moral na sociedade poderia ser reflexo do número de 1 ISSN 1678-0817 Qualis B2 processos em trâmite especificamente na fase de cumprimento de sentença, que, por razões lógicas, pressupõe a violação de uma obrigação para com outra pessoa. E isso traz um padrão não esperado no mundo da convivência, pois a expectativa daquele que ingressa com ações judiciais é ver seu direito satisfeito com efeito prático e concreto e não apenas ter um título judicial reconhecendo esse mesmo direito. Neste ponto, o artigo investigará possíveis efeitos éticos como forma de melhor enxergar o número de processos em trâmite na fase de cumprimento de sentença nos escaninhos do Poder Judiciário brasileiro.

INTRODUCTION: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a common and potentially fatal presentation of cardiovascular disease. Once a diagnosis is made, prompt intervention is crucial, with substantial effect on morbidity and even mortality.

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to assess the adherence of physicians of a tertiary care hospital to American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology performance measures for the management of acute STEMI patients. 

METHODOLOGY: This was a descriptive retrospective chart review of acute STEMI patients seen in a tertiary care hospital over a 2-year period.

RESULTS: A total of 118 STEMI patients were included in the study. Mean age was 57.8 years with male predominance. High adherence rates (100% achievement score) to recommended discharge medications and counseling for smoking cessation were observed. However, performance measures for time to reperfusion therapy via percutaneous coronary intervention (average, 16.7% over 2 years) and referral to cardiac rehabilitation (average, 38.0%) were consistently low, although time to percutaneous coronary intervention improved from an average of 170 minutes to 142 minutes in the second year of this study.

CONCLUSION: For 2 consecutive years, all STEMI patients seen in our institution were adequately managed with regard to recommended medications. All patients have been advised lifestyle change, particularly smoking cessation for current smokers.

In view of the inherent prerogatives of the Public Power vis-à-vis private individuals in administrative contracts, this article aims to reflect on exorbitant clauses in administrative contracts, their use, their characteristics, their species and their limitations. Based on this analysis, the topic of certain rights and guarantees in the Constitution was explored, such as the supremacy of the public interest over the private interest and economic and financial equilibrium. In order to carry out this work, a study was carried out through bibliographical research, analysis of legal provisions and doctrinal teachings in the areas of constitutional and administrative law. In fact, due to these principles, the feasibility and possibility of restricting the indiscriminate and abusive use of exorbitant clauses by the Public Administration was verified, since the legitimate use of such prerogatives is not indiscriminate and can be mitigated.

Published: November 2024

Description: Globally, sixteen billion injections are given each year, 95.00% of which are for medicinal purposes. This global injection burden is accounted for by India between 24.5% and 31.0%, and alarmingly, over 62.50% of these injections are performed improperly or are repeated.
Objectives: The purpose of this study is to assess the increased costs incurred by transitioning from traditional disposable syringes to Needle-Retractable Safety Syringes (NRSS) for beneficial usage in India.
Methods: Utilizing a decision tree model, we evaluated the occurrence of needle-stick injuries and syringe reuse among healthcare personnel and patients. We calculated the lifetime costs associated with HIV - Human Immunodeficiency Virus, HBV - Hepatitis B Virus, and HCV - Hepatitis C Virus infections using three Markov models.
Results: NRSS offer substantial benefits by reducing needle-stick injuries and preventing blood-borne infections. Among the options analyzed, Reuse Prevention (RUP) syringes emerged as the most cost-effective choice. In contrast, Single-Use Prevention (SIP) and NRSS syringes are currently not deemed cost-effective at their prevailing prices. We recommend prioritizing RUP syringes and exploring strategies to make them more affordable for broader accessibility.
Conclusion: Our analysis suggests that, in the Indian context, RUP syringes present an economically viable solution. However, SIP and NRSS syringes do not currently offer cost-effectiveness. To enhance the cost-effectiveness of NRSS, concerted efforts should be directed towards reducing their price.

Background: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has become a global concern. Many times the patients cannot tolerate the first line anti-Alzheimer’s drugs. This includes acetylcholinesterase inhibitors such as donepezil. This shifts the focus on repurposing study with drugs which are expected to alleviate AD. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the synergistic therapeutic potential of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and rosuvastatin combination against donepezil.
Methods: RT-PCR was performed to find the effects of individual drugs and drug combination on caspase-3 (amyloid beta1-42 induced), IL-1β and TNF-α expression. Nitric oxide, lipid peroxide level and acetylcholinesterase activity were measured by spectrophotometric method.
Results: DHA and rosuvastatin combination was better than donepezil in suppressing expressions of caspase-3 (2^ΔΔCT values for gene expression 0.21 Vs 0.60), IL-1β (2^ΔΔCT values for gene expression 0.13 Vs 0.28) and TNF-α (2^ΔΔCT values for gene expression 0.04 Vs 0.27). Similarly, DHA and rosuvastatin combination was better than donepezil in inhibiting nitric oxide level (73.96% Vs 66.19%). However, donepezil was better than DHA and rosuvastatin combination in suppressing lipid peroxide (72.40% Vs 67.20%) and acetylcholinesterase (91.85% Vs 82.33%).
Conclusions: DHA and rosuvastatin combination was better than donepezil in suppressing most of the study parameters associated with AD. DHA and rosuvastatin combination was synergistic and may emerge as a substitute for donepezil to treat AD. The significance of the finding lies in the fact that the data generated in this research will open newer horizons in AD research. Once proven effective, the combination may be tried to manage mild to severe AD in donepezil intolerant AD population.

Introduction: Cowper’s glands, also known as bulbourethral glands, were first described by French surgeon Jean Mery in 1684 and later detailed by William Cowper in 1699. Cowper’s duct syringocele, a rare condition involving cystic dilatation of Cowper’s gland, can mimic symptoms of prostatic obstruction, posing diagnostic challenges. Common presentations include lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) such as urgency, weak stream, and incomplete emptying, often leading to misdiagnosis as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Accurate diagnosis involves imaging studies like transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), along with retrograde urethrography and cystourethroscopy. Management varies from conservative measures to surgical intervention, depending on symptom severity. Case Presentation: A 36-year-old male presented with urinary obstruction symptoms, reporting a poor stream and straining to urinate over three months, with exacerbation characterized by incomplete voiding. No hematuria, UTIs, or urolithiasis history was noted. Examination was largely unremarkable, except for a flat prostate on per rectal examination. Uroflowmetry indicated a maximum flow rate (Qmax) of 15 ml/sec with an interrupted pattern. MRI revealed a cystic lesion in the posterior urethra, raising suspicion for Cowper’s duct syringocele. Diagnostic cystoscopy confirmed the cystic dilatation, which was deroofed using monopolar energy. The patient’s recovery was uneventful, with follow-up uroflowmetry showing significant improvement, with a Qmax of 27 ml/sec. Discussion: This case underscores the importance of considering Cowper’s duct syringocele in the differential diagnosis of LUTS, especially in patients with atypical presentations. The diagnostic approach included uroflowmetry, MRI, and cystoscopy, which confirmed the cystic lesion. Management involved transurethral deroofing, leading to symptom resolution and improved urinary flow. Early recognition and intervention are crucial for favorable outcomes. Literature highlights the role of imaging and endoscopic techniques in diagnosing and managing this rare condition, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary collaboration in complex urological cases. Conclusion: This case emphasizes the need for considering Cowper’s duct syringocele in patients with LUTS to avoid misdiagnosis and inappropriate management. Accurate diagnosis through a combination of uroflowmetry, imaging, and cystoscopy, followed by appropriate surgical intervention, can significantly improve patient outcomes. The case underscores the efficacy of endoscopic techniques and the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in optimizing care for patients with rare urological conditions.
