Authors:   National Research University Higher School of Economics, Kapustina Natalya A.
Published: July 2023

The purpose of the article is to conduct a comparative analysis of the processes for issuing, amending and supplementing awards by institutional international commercial arbitrations in the Russian Federation and Singapore, as well as reviewing the legal regulation of the setting aside the arbitral awards and current trends in judicial practice in this area in these states. The mechanism of returning an arbitral award by state courts for consideration within the framework of arbitration is analyzed in the article. This paper examines the provisions of the national legislation of the Russian Federation and Singapore governing the issues of international commercial arbitration, as well as the regulations of institutional arbitration organizations represented by the International Commercial Arbitration Court at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation and Singapore International Arbitration Center; analyzes the uniﬁed norms of international law, as well as the practice of state courts and international commercial arbitration centers of the Russian Federation and Singapore. The process of an arbitral award issuing in the institutional international arbitrations of the Russian Federation and Singapore has a number of features that may indirectly affect the outcome of the dispute. The legislation of Singapore also contains additional (compared to generally accepted) grounds for the setting aside an arbitral award — fraudulent or corrupt motives; violation of the fundamental principle of natural justice, while speciﬁc approaches to the essence of these grounds were developed by judicial practice. Of particular interest is the developed pro-arbitration active position of the state court of Singapore regarding the possibility of returning an arbitration dispute from the state court to arbitration, as well as the criteria for such return.
Research on Legal Regulation of Internet Platforms
Authors:   Northwest University of Political Science and Law, Yifei Tian
Published: July 2023

With the development of technology, Internet platforms continue to accumulate technological advantages and become super network platforms with rapid growth in the number of users and huge transaction scale, thus triggering problems such as platform monopoly, infringement of users’ rights and interference with social governance. When the state and the government face the challenge of platform governance, the existence of a technological divide makes it difﬁcult to achieve the desired effect of Internet platform governance through the traditional unilateral regulatory model. When the law grants power, appropriate measures should be taken at the same time to avoid the abuse of power. With fairness as the regulatory goal of Internet platforms, it is necessary to start the restraint of platform power from multiple perspectives of self-regulation, cooperative regulation and external regulation to promote the standardized operation of Internet platforms.

Indonesia is currently experiencing rapid technological development, especially in the fields of information technology, communication and media. One of them, e-commerce (Electronic commerce) is a place of trade that utilizes the internet media. The growth of e-commerce in Indonesia is very rapid, as evidenced by the emergence of various kinds of e-commerce. Of the many e-commerce companies that have developed so far, there are still few e-commerce companies that label their companies as companies that obey Islamic law. Therefore, it is still a question whether the transaction process between sellers and buyers in e-commerce is appropriate or violates the norms of Islamic law. This study aims to analyze the perception of Generation Z in making decisions to transact in e-commerce. This research method was qualitative by using the field of literature review. Data collection was done by collecting article sources in the form of journals, previous research and related sources. The results of this study indicate that student perceptions of e-commerce are very good, some e-commerce is in accordance with Islamic law, but some e-commerce is not in accordance with Islamic law. Halal labels on products, systems that run e-commerce, trust, security, service quality, and perceived risk affect product purchasing decisions.

Objective: To build the population-based norms for the
Human-Papillomavirus-Quality-of-Life (HPV-QoL) questionnaire, which
measures the impact of HPV on Health-Related Quality of Life (HR-QoL).
Design: A cross-sectional, nationwide, multicenter study
Setting: Spain Population: Women from outpatient
clinics ranging from 25 to 65 years of age, with past or active HPV
infection diagnosis Methods: Central tendency, dispersion and
percentiles were calculated for the total score and its dimensions in
age groups. Construct validity was tested with the analysis of age
strata groups and correlations with other related scales (12-Item
General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12, Female Sexual Function Index
(FSFI) and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)). Main
outcome measures: Validity of the population-based norms for the
HPV-QoL questionnaire. Results: We recruited 1,352 women. The
norms showed moderate and significant coefficients of correlation with
other related scales. Significant differences between age strata groups
were found according to educational level, sexual dysfunction, sexual
activity, mental deterioration, and severity of anxiety and depression
symptoms (p<0.001 in all cases). Total score differed
significantly between those groups (p=0.006). Significant differences in
contagiousness, health and sexuality dimensions (p<0.05) were
found among age groups. HPV infection impaired women’s QoL. Dimensions
within all test age groups (p<0.001 in all cases) had
significant differences, being health-dimension the highest contributor
to women’s QoL impairment, while social well-being was the main
determinant improving QoL. Conclusions: Population-based norms
for the novel HPV-QoL questionnaire show adequate validity, a valid tool
for assessment of the impact of HPV infection in women QOL in Spain.

Hypertriglyceridemia associated acute pancreatitis is a medical emergency and it causes significant morbidity and mortality. Here we report a case of 47 years old male with hypertriglyceridemia associated acute pancreatitis. The diagnosis was confirmed by elevated serum triglyceride levels and elevated lipase levels. Initially, Insulin infusion started with fibrates and statins but due to worsening hypertriglyceridemia and he underwent one session of plasmapheresis, following which triglyceride levels improved. Triglyceride assessment in removed plasma in plasmapheresis showed that the amount of triglyceride level reduction was 4 times the amount removed in plasmapheresis. The study showed that plasmapheresis improves insulin-related triglyceride metabolism besides removal.

The markedly increased survival of transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia patients has led to the recognition of new complications, such as renal disorders. Kidney transplantation is nowadays the preferred treatment option for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). We describe a case of a 49-year-old woman with β-Transfusion Dependent Thalassemia, who developed ESKD as a result of focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and received a deceased-donor kidney transplant following hemodialysis for over a decade. The particular challenges of this case are discussed, including the long-term survival in hemodialysis. Our patient had to overcome multiple obstacles, including hypercoagulability issues presented in the form of thromboembolism, infections, such as hepatitis C and gastroenteritis, and the acute T-cell–mediated rejection, which had to be managed postoperatively. A review of the current literature revealed only one previous report of a thalassemia patient who successfully underwent renal transplantation. More than a year after the transplantation our patient presents with a normal glomerular filtration rate (GFR=62ml/min/1.73m2) and creatinine level (Cr=0.96mg/dL) and is transfused every 3 weeks. In conclusion, renal transplantation is possible in patients with TDT and should not be discouraged. Regular transfusions and optimal follow-up for the elimination of post-transplant complications are required.

Fungus belong to eukaryotic prosthetic organisms that are chemohypertrophic. When studying the properties of fungus, a material is needed as a nutritional source to grow or isolate fungus known as the media. The most commonly used media for fungal culture is instant PDA media. The relatively high price of instant PDA media is a common problem. That's why we need alternative media that are more economical. The aim of this research is to test whether the gadung tuber flour media can be used as an alternative to PDA. Method used in this study is the experimental method and  design used, fully randomized design with 6 treatments and 4 replicates. Concentrations of gadung tuber flour used were 5%, 10%, 15%, 20% and 25%. The data obtained was analyzed with Annova with a confidence level of 95%. The results showed that the grading tuber meal alternative media had a significant effect on the growth of Candida albicans. Fungus can grow in alternative media at a concentration of 5% to 25% with the highest number of colonies at a concentration of 25%, namely 155.3 in 100 µl.AbstrakJamur termasuk organisme prostetik eukariotik yang bersifat kemohipertrofik.

The Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Canal’s Role in Developing the District of Columbia’s Ports
Authors: Laurie Trevor W.
Published: July 2023

While the how and why of the Chesapeake and Ohio (C&O) Canal’s birth are important, and it is with much thanks that students of inland waterways (few are we in number) are able to access this accumulated knowledge, it is somewhat shocking that the major role this canal played in developing the Potomac River valley and, most importantly, the country’s capital region, is overlooked. This article will address the pivotal role the C&O Canal played in forming and developing the two main ports that serviced the greater District of Columbia area (encompassing northern Virginia), and, to a lesser extent, the middle Atlantic region.

Bien que le comment et le pourquoi des débuts du canal Chesapeake et Ohio (C&O) soient importants et que les amateurs des voies navigables intérieures (peu nombreux sommes-nous) soient très reconnaissants de pouvoir accéder aux connaissances acquises, il est étonnant que le rôle majeur qu’ait joué ce canal dans le développement de la vallée de la rivière Potomac et, plus important encore, de la région de la capitale nationale des États-Unis ait été laissé de côté. Cet article traite du rôle central du canal C&O dans la formation et le développement des deux principaux ports qui desservaient la grande région du district de Columbia (comprenant le nord de la Virginie) et, dans une moindre mesure, la région de l’Atlantique-Centre.

In this paper, we calculate the diagonal contributions W(R, s = 0) of the imaginary part of the microsopic optical potential at negatives energies, where W(R, s) =Σlj(2j+1)/4π Im∆Σlj(r, r′, ω), with R = 1/2.(r + r′) corresponding to the radius and shape ofIm∆Σ, and s = r - r′. To do it, the microscopic optical potential has been calculatedby using the nuclear structure approach which is based on the Green function method. The coupling between the particle and collective phonon has been performed to calculate the dynamic part of the optical potential. It has been found that the imaginary part at negative energies is very small as expected. The calculated W(R, 0) is maximum on the surface and deacreases to zero in the interior.

Authors: BUHĂESCU-CIUCĂ Ştefana
Published: July 2023

The present study is testing the role of extracurricular activities in the career exploratory intentions and decision-making using the lenses of the career self-management model of Social Cognitive Career Theory - SCCT (Lent & Brown, 2013). The study also includes the socioeconomic status, social support, and role models, as well as personality factors as predictors. We used hierarchical linear regression to test the role of the added precursors to extracurricular activities and their role in career exploration goals and decidedness. Data were collected using an online survey filled in by 233 students in twelfth grade. Involvement in pro-social activities, the influence of role models, and the level of agreeableness were significant predictors of exploratory intentions while exam preparation was the only significant predictor of career decidedness. Implications for practice are discussed.

Published: July 2023

The article presents the results of a comparative assessment of the dairy productivity of Swiss cows of different origin. The superiority in milk yield of the first heifers of the brown Swiss breed of Austrian breeding in all months of lactation over the peers of other groups has been established. At the same time, the lactation curves of imported heifers and their hybrids with local Shvits indicate that the maximum levels of productivity were observed in earlier periods – for 2-3 months lactation, whereas in individuals of the local population – for 3-4 months. After the peak of the productivity of the experimental livestock, the Austrian and crossbred Swiss heifers, whose lactation curve was relatively equalized, were the best preserved at the achieved milk yield level, while the local Swiss heifers had a sharp decline. The highest level of milk yield was distinguished by the first heifers of imported breeding, which surpassed both half-blooded peers (by 686 kg, P>0,999) and individuals of the local population (by 1656 kg, P>0,999). Imported animals, as well as crossbreeds, exceeded the yield of milk fat by 37,8-62,7 kg (P>0,999) and milk protein by 31,8–54,1 kg (P>0,999) of the peers of the brown Swiss breed of the local population.

The high potassium content in melon plays a role in maintaining the normal function of the muscles, heart, nervous system, and potassium is also the main regulator of blood pressure. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of using melon juice (Cucumis melo L.) as a diluent on the quality of spermatozoa and semen of Bali cattle both before and after freezing. The Banyumulek Artificial Insemination Center produces sperm used in Bali cattle breeding. The technique used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with 4 treatments and 15 replications. The first treatment was 100% egg yolk tris buffer without the addition of melon juice (P0), the second treatment was 80% buffer without the addition of 20% melon juice (P1), the third treatment was 60% buffer with the addition of 40% melon juice (P2). The fourth treatment was 40% buffer with the addition of 60% melon juice (P3). The outcomes showed that the worth of flawless plasma film and mortality upsides of ox-like semen after weakening and subsequent to defrosting were not essentially unique. Be that as it may, not altogether disparate in that frame of mind of motility, level of reasonability, level of ordinariness and post-defrosting anomalies. According to the findings of this study, melon juice can be used as an alternative extender for fresh Bali cattle sperm and preserve the quality of spermatozoa.

Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND: Ischemia reperfusion (IR) injury may result in rhabdomyolysis and compartment syndrome when blood supply returns after thrombectomy for patients with acute limb ischemia. OBJECTIVE: We highlight the value of early diagnosis and treatment in post-thrombectomy patients with IR injuries in their lower legs. CASE DESCRIPTION: Two patients received thrombectomy due to left superficial femoral artery occlusion. Both patients complained of left calf pain during ambulation at the 1- and 3-day follow up post-thrombectomy, as well as a heating sensation, swelling, weakness, and sensory changes in the affected leg. For early diagnosis musculoskeletal ultrasounds were performed and in both cases revealed swelling and change of echogenicity in the left calf. To further diagnosis, magnetic resonance imaging of the left leg revealed limb IR-induced muscular injury and rhabdomyolysis, respectively. In both cases, an electrodiagnostic study revealed peripheral nerve injury in the left leg. Medications were provided for neuropathic pain control and early rehabilitation was performed to improve function. In both cases, patients reported during their follow-up that their pain and muscle weakness had improved. CONCLUSION: When post-thrombectomy calf pain occurs early evaluation and treatment should be performed to identify any potential IR injury.

Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND: Hip, trunk, knee, and ankle/foot muscles may lead to increased variability in the components of balance and plantar pressure distribution (PPD) analysis. However, the role of these muscle groups in the PPD of different ballet techniques in novice ballet dancers has not previously been studied. OBJECTIVE: Our objective was to examine whether balance and PPD vary among five different ballet techniques and correlate with the agonist-to-antagonist strength performance of trunk, knee, hip, and ankle muscles in adolescent ballet dancers. METHODS: The anthropometric parameters, muscle strength performance, balance, and PPD of sixty healthy female ballet dancers (age: 14.36 ± 2.18 y) were measured at 48-h intervals. RESULTS: The forefoot’s PPD was significantly greater than the midfoot and rearfoot for all techniques (p= 0.000). The percent plantar load of forefoot during développé à la seconde (side, front, back), passé, and penché was greater than midfoot (166.56%, 161.51%, 168.11%, 165.14%, 174.04%) and rearfoot (47.75%, 32.84%, 43.83%, 48.73%, 49.66) for all techniques, respectively. The forefoot’s PPD, impulse, and contact area during all techniques were significantly correlated with the trunk muscle strength ratio (p< 0.05). CONCLUSION: Ballet dancers with higher trunk muscle strength imbalance showed a greater percentage difference in pressure load between the left and right foot in the anterior and posterior directions, poor balance, aggravated trunk imbalance, increased PPD, contact area, and impulse in the forefoot during each technique.

BACKGROUND: Despite being used as a program of postoperative rehabilitation, few randomized controlled trials have compared the effectiveness of postoperative exercise based on gait analysis in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effectiveness of postoperative exercise based on gait analysis in patients with LSS and to compare it with the effectiveness of conventional exercise. METHODS: This was a double-blind, randomized clinical trial. Sixty-eight participants with LSS were randomly assigned to one of two groups. After receiving a standardized surgical procedure, the observation group received exercises based on 3-D gait analysis, and the control group received empirical physiotherapy containing 4 basic interventions. Both groups took a one-hour session twice daily for 2 weeks. The Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) scale and the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) were measured before and 2 weeks and 6 months after intervention. The gait indicators were measured before and 6 months after intervention. RESULTS: At baseline, there were no significant differences in the ODI, VAS or absolute symmetry index (ASI) of the gait variables between the observation group and the control group. However, at 6 months, pain intensity, walking, standing, social life and summary scores of ODI and VAS of the leg demonstrated significant differences (p< 0.05, respectively) between groups, and the observation group had greater reductions in ASI of stride length, hip flexion, knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion compared with the control group (p< 0.05, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: The postoperative rehabilitation scheme based on gait analysis resulted in significant short- to medium-term improvements in pain intensity, walking, standing, social life and the summary score of ODI, VAS of leg and symmetry of stride length, hip flexion, knee flexion and ankle dorsiflexion compared with empirical exercise in patients with LSS.

BACKGROUND: Breast cancer has been found to be associated with deregulation of several non-coding genes and mRNA coding genes. OBJECTIVE: To assess expressions of CYTOR and CDKN2B in breast cancer and adjacent samples and find their relevance with clinical data. METHODS: We enumerated expression level of CDKN2B and CYTOR in 43 newly diagnosed breast cancer samples and their adjacent specimens using real-time PCR method Expression data was judged using Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test. RESULTS: CYTOR level was higher in tumors compared with adjacent tissues. Nevertheless, there was no difference in expression of CDKN2B between these two sets of tissues. ROC curve analysis showed that CYTOR levels can differentiate between tumoral and adjacent tissues with AUC, specificity and sensitivity values of 0.65, 37% and 92% (P= 0.017). There was a positive correlation between expression levels of CYTOR and CDKN2B genes in breast cancer tissues (r= 0.5 and P= 0.0008) as well as adjacent tissues (r= 0.79 and P< 0.0001). Relative expression level of CDKN2B in normal tissues was associated with clinical stage (P= 0.014). Moreover, relative expression level of CDKN2B in tumor tissues was associated with the body weight. There was no other association between expressions of CYTOR and CDKN2B and clinical or pathological variables. CONCLUSIONS: Cumulatively, this study offers evidence for involvement of these genes in the pathoetiology of breast cancer.
Quantifiable integrity for Linked Data on the web

Published: July 2023

We present an approach to publish Linked Data on the Web with quantifiable integrity using Web technologies, and in which rational agents are incentivised to contribute to the integrity of the link network. To this end, we introduce self-verifying resource representations, that include Linked Data Signatures whose signature value is used as a suffix in the resource’s URI. Links among such representations, typically managed as web documents, contribute therefore to preserving the integrity of the resulting document graphs. To quantify how well a document’s integrity can be relied on, we introduce the notion of trust scores and present an interpretation based on hubs and authorities. In addition, we present how specific agent behaviour may be induced by the choice of trust score regarding their optimisation, e.g., in general but also using a heuristic strategy called Additional Reach Strategy (ARS). We discuss our approach in a three-fold evaluation: First, we evaluate the effect of different graph metrics as trust scores on induced agent behaviour and resulting evolution of the document graph. We show that trust scores based on hubs and authorities induce agent behaviour that contributes to integrity preservation in the document graph. Next, we evaluate different heuristics for agents to optimise trust scores when general optimisation strategies are not applicable. We show that ARS outperforms other potential optimisation strategies. Last, we evaluate the whole approach by examining the resilience of integrity preservation in a document graph when resources are deleted. To this end, we propose a simulation system based on the Watts–Strogatz model for simulating a social network. We show that our approach produces a document graph that can recover from such attacks or failures in the document graph.

BACKGROUND: While mental illness (e.g., depression, anxiety) has been examined frequently in the workplace, the COVID-19 pandemic has only increased the attention towards mental illness. Mental well-being views mental health as a continuum from ill health to thriving. Few studies have examined factors associated with mental well-being in the workplace. Public stigma for mental illness, the general population’s negative attitude towards mental illness, and occupational burnout are examined. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between burnout and public stigma on mental well-being in a sample of employees across industries in the United States. METHODS: Employees surveyed from 16 companies from various industries were assessed. Room Here, a non-profit organization whose goal is to improve employee mental fitness, gathered data from these companies located in the western mountain region of the U.S. Data were collected during the pandemic. Across this portfolio of companies, 259 employees were included in the sample. Survey assesses respondents’ mental well-being, stigma towards mental illness, and occupational burnout. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression was used in this cross-sectional study on secondary data. RESULTS: Results suggested occupational burnout was associated with a decrease in mental well-being, while public stigma was associated with an improvement in mental well-being. CONCLUSION: This study sought to examine the relationship between mental well-being, burnout, and public stigma. Employee burnout and public stigma were related to mental well-being. Implications for burnout and stigma reduction programs are discussed as well as future research.

BACKGROUND: Musculoskeletal disorders constitute one of the major health problems of workers exposed to manual work throughout the world. Nevertheless, there is no study that maps its conceptual structure based on a systematic methodology. OBJECTIVE: To identify the conceptual structure of ergonomics, MSDs, treatment and return to work in manual jobs in the last 12 years by applying a systematic co-word network analysis methodology which describes the replicability of the search filters and emphasizes the rigor that has to be followed in the creation of the network. METHODS: The search filter was customized for each bibliographic database, and followed the PRISMA 2020 flowchart for the screening process. For the creation of the network, the titles, abstracts, and keywords were used as the unit of analysis extracting the noun phrases of the first two units. In the normalization process, the terms of the search filter were deleted and their associated terms, and standardized the similar terms. Regarding the plotting of the network, Vosviewer was used applying the network settings based on content analysis. RESULTS: The co-word network shows three communities: Ergonomic assessment and workplace intervention tools, factors related to rehabilitation and return to work, and physical and mental overload management. For each community, there is a framework that explains the relationship within terms. CONCLUSION: This study is aligned with the replicability, robustness, and relevance recommendations in the implementation of rigorous scientometric studies. The occupational health community is encouraged to implement scientometric studies following a rigorous methodology and working in interdisciplinary team.
