Fundamental legal acts of international importance on the observance of the right to liberty and security of person: a retrospective analysis
Authors: Lazareva Daria
Published: December 2021

The article examines the content of the right to liberty and security of person in fundamental international regulations in retrospect. In particular, attention was paid to the disclosure of the essence of the rules that determine certain principles of respect for the right to liberty and security of person, which are the violation of this right, specific definition of grounds and terms of imprisonment or restriction of liberty on legal grounds. The scientific article emphasizes the growing number of appeals to the European Court of Human Rights, which indicates the underdeveloped structures of human rights protection, both at the international and national levels. Respect for any human and civil right, regardless of its place in the classification system and importance for the standard of living of a particular individual is the main task and responsibility of both the world community and the individual state. Today, the number of states in the world that define the term "legal" in the basic national legislation is increasing, but in order for this feature to take effect for a particular political-territorial entity, the protection and protection of human rights must be effective and provided by a number of mechanisms. In particular, this applies to recourse to international law, which is the standard for national regulations, because on its basis are constructed codified laws and other bylaws. A thorough analysis of fundamental legal acts of international importance should be conducted at least in order to emphasize their importance for a number of national laws and the need to comply with mandatory norms on human rights and freedoms (jus cogens). The present study analyzes the main legal acts, which enshrine the right to liberty and security of person, identify grounds for deprivation or restriction of liberty on legal grounds and reveal the concept of the right to liberty and security of person as fundamental.

Significant choice-of-law interests and its impact on the formation of choice-of-law regulation in the field of intellectual property
Authors: Krupko Svetlana I.
Published: December 2021

This article analyzes the choice-of-law interests of specific and potential participants in the relations of intellectual property rights and the state in order to establish the closest connection of the above type of relation with the state, whose law should be applied. Taking into account the directionality of significant choice-of-law interests, advantages and disadvantages of territorial and universal approaches, a theoretically based solution is proposed for the formation of a general choice-of-law rule on the law to be applied to the relation of intellectual property rights. It was revealed in the study that the diversity of the relations of intellectual property rights (their obligatory and non-obligatory, property and personal non-property nature, other differences in legal features) does not automatically generate a multidirectionality of significant choice-of-law interests that should be taken into account when establishing a close connection of the above type of the relation with the state for determination of applicable law, does not prevent the formation of a general choice-of-law rule for the relations of intellectual property rights in general and does not unequivocally testify in favor of the specialization of its binding. However, the diversity of the relations of intellectual property rights should be examined and evaluated for the feasibility and limits of exceptions from the general choice-of-law rule and the development of special rules for resolving certain private of the relations of intellectual property rights.

В дослідженні визначено, що соціальний аспект відіграє провідну роль в процесі виникнення блюзу. Історичні умови стали причиною формування специфічних характеристик соціальних процесів, що мали вагоме значення в контексті буття афроамериканської спільноти ХІХ ст. на території США. Встановлено, що саме зміни в соціальному просторі, які відбулися після офіційного скасування рабства, стали каталізатором народження нових форм в афроамериканській культурі. Специфіка зазначених соціальних процесів полягала в особливостях ресоціалізації афроамериканців у суспільстві США, соціальній ізоляції, що великим чином утискала явище соціальної творчості в афроамериканському середовищі, аспекті перманентного опору та боротьби афроамериканців за свої права в американському соціумі, що сприяв збереженню сталості характерних елементів афроамериканської культури. Зазначені характеристики сприяли виділенню афроамериканської культури на тлі культури США, а надалі й світової культури. Саме цей аспект необхідно визначити як головну причину широкомасштабного розповсюдження та впливу явищ афроамериканської культури, зокрема блюзу, на появу та становлення панівного пласту музичної культури, який визначається як неакадемічна музика ХХ ст.

Women in Trouble? A Critical Reflection on the Major Hindrances to Addressing Gender Based Violence in South Africa
Authors: B. Rapanyane Makhura
Published: December 2021

Gender-Based Violence (GBV) is a global phenomenon affecting various countries including South Africa. Contextually, it is any violent act committed against the will of women and girls because of their gender and negatively affects their psychological and physical health and development. In South Africa, statistics are worrisome. It is in this context that this article explores GBV in South Africa from an Afrocentric point of view. It is argued that there are various legal frameworks that were instigated to do away with GBV, although there are still various societal and systemic hindrances to the progressive eradication of GBV in South Africa. The Afrocentric theoretical approach was adopted in this article as the issue at hand is a South African problem. By deploying a qualitative research approach as document analysis, the author provides a comprehensive analysis of the current level of GBV and presents policy recommendations to deal with GBV in South Africa.

Published: December 2021

In today’s growing cloud world, where users are continuously demanding a large number of services or resources at the same time, cloud providers aim to meet their needs while maintaining service quality, an ideal QoS-based resource provisioning is required. In the consideration of the quality-of-service parameters, it is essential to place a greater emphasis on the scalability attribute, which aids in the design of complex resource provisioning frameworks. This study aims to determine how much work is done in light of scalability as the most important QoS attribute. We first conducted a detailed survey on similar QoS-based resource provisioning proposed frameworks/techniques in this article, which discusses QoS parameters with increasingly growing cloud usage expectations. Second, this paper focuses on scalability as the main QOS characteristic, with types, issues, review questions and research gaps discussed in detail, revealing that less work has been performed thus far. We will try to address scalability and resource provisioning problems with our proposed advance scalable QoS-based resource provisioning framework by integrating new modules resource scheduler, load balancer, resource tracker, and cloud user budget tracker in the resource provisioning process. Cloud providers can easily achieve scalability of resources while performing resource provisioning by integrating the working specialty of these sub modules.
SU-CCE: A Novel Feature Selection Approach for Reducing High Dimensionality
Authors: Pawar A B , Jawale M A , Kumar Tirandasu Ravi , Potharaju Saiprasad
Published: December 2021

High dimensionality is the serious issue in the preprocessing of data mining. Having large number of features in the dataset leads to several complications for classifying an unknown instance. In a initial dataspace there may be redundant and irrelevant features present, which leads to high memory consumption, and confuse the learning model created with those properties of features. Always it is advisable to select the best features and generate the classification model for better accuracy. In this research, we proposed a novel feature selection approach and Symmetrical uncertainty and Correlation Coefficient (SU-CCE) for reducing the high dimensional feature space and increasing the classification accuracy. The experiment is performed on colon cancer microarray dataset which has 2000 features. The proposed method derived 38 best features from it. To measure the strength of proposed method, top 38 features extracted by 4 traditional filter-based methods are compared with various classifiers. After careful investigation of result, the proposed approach is competing with most of the traditional methods.

Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND:

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an inherited orphan disease, in which the absence of capillary beds between arterioles and venules lead to arteriovenous shunts. Epistaxis is the core symptom. Several case reports have described the nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor antagonist timolol as a successful treatment method of nosebleeds due in HHT patients.

OBJECTIVE:

TIM-HHT is a single-site, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over study to investigate whether the efficacy of standard laser treatment of epistaxis in HHT patients can be increased by the additional use of timolol nasal spray (1 mg/d).

METHODS:

Twenty patients will be randomly allocated to one of two treatment sequences. Primary outcome is the severity of epistaxis determined by the Epistaxis Severity Score (ESS). Secondary outcomes are subjective satisfaction, quality of life, as well as the hemoglobin, ferritin, and transferrin levels of the participating patients. Safety outcome is assessed by means of pulse, blood pressure, and adverse events.

CONCLUSION:

TIM-HHT will evaluate the efficacy and safety of timolol as an additional treatment of epistaxis in HHT patients in a three-month trial period. Benzalkonium chloride is used as a placebo, which has no documented positive effect on the nasal mucosa and hence on epistaxis in HHT patients (in contrast to saline).

Do managers learn more about successful project management methods from articles in high impact factor journals?
Authors: Zwilling Moti , Eckhaus Eyal
Published: December 2021

BACKGROUND:

In recent years, the need to develop performance-based measurement systems to improve project management outcomes has dramatically increased. Managers still take various risks during the course of managing projects which lead to ineffective decision making. A range of theories discuss such behaviors. These theories demonstrate that the discussion of risk embedded in non-optimal decision-making processes is based on theory rather than practical knowledge. However, various components of project management can be derived from academic best practices for decision making.

OBJECTIVE:

The study aims to explore whether articles in high impact journals tend to embody practical, rather than theoretical, knowledge thus closing the gap between academia and industry. The study is based on SEM and various machine learning classification methods.

METHOD:

The study was conducted using an NLP analysis of 1461 academic journals in the field of project management.

RESULTS:

Results show a significant positive relationship between the success of projects and the impact of new practical procedures. In contrast, a negative correlation was found between theories that use non-practical processes of effective project management.

CONCLUSION:

Managers can learn about new methods for project management from articles in high impact factor journals.

Authors: Chandrapal Jason , Simmons Kirsten , Purves J. Todd , Wiener John S. , Routh Jonathan C.
Published: December 2021

PURPOSE: Post-operative complication rates may vary among racial and/or ethnic groups and have not been previously described in individuals with spina bifida (SB) undergoing urologic surgery. The aim of this study was to compare in-hospital complication frequencies of individuals with SB following urologic surgery by race/ethnicity. METHODS: The Nationwide Inpatient Sample was used to identify pediatric patients with SB who underwent inpatient urologic procedures. A pediatric cohort (<18 years old) with SB that underwent urologic surgery were assessed. All analyses report weighted descriptive statistics, outcomes, and race/ethnicity was the primary predictor variable. The primary outcome of interest was post-operative complications which were defined using NSQIP ICD-9 code definitions. Secondary analysis included length of stay (LOS), and encounter cost was estimated using the cost-to-charge ratio files provided by the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project. RESULTS: The unadjusted model showed no differences in complications, LOS, and cost. In the adjusted model there were no differences in complications, LOS, and cost between Black and White encounters. However, Hispanic ethnicity was associated with a 20%(95%CI: 4–40%) increase in LOS and 18%(95%CI: 2–35%, p = 0.02) increase in cost compared to White encounters. CONCLUSION: There was no evidence of variation for in-hospital complication rates among racial/ethnic groups undergoing urologic surgery. Hispanic ethnicity was associated with higher costs and longer LOS in pediatric SB encounters.

Authors: Castillo Jonathan , Castillo Heidi , Thibadeau Judy K. , Brei Tim
Published: December 2021

Worldwide neural tube defects, such as encephalocele and spina bifida (SB), remain a substantial cause of the global burden of disease; and in the US, Latinos consistently have a higher birth prevalence of SB compared with other ethnic groups. From limited access and fragmented care, to scarcely available adult services, many are the challenges that besiege those living with SB. Thus, to provide inclusion and active involvement of parents of children and adults with SB from all communities, innovative approaches will be required, such as community-based participatory research and culturally competent learning collaboratives. Promisingly, the Spina Bifida Community-Centered Research Agenda was developed by the community of people living with SB through the Spina Bifida Association (SBA). Additionally, the SBA will host the Fourth World Congress on Spina Bifida Research and Care in March of 2023. Just as the SBA is clearly committed to this population, the Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine will continue to serve as a catalyst for SB care, education, and research across the SB population in a global context.
Kanamycin in Cereal Biotechnology: A Screening or a Selectable Marker?
Authors: Shuja Malik , Riaz Hassan , Jamal Muhsin , Imran Muhammad
Published: December 2021

Kanamycin is a widely used selection agent in dicot-plant genetic transformation systems. In monocots, however, it does not seem to be effective as it has no or minimal effect on the normal growth of non-transformed plants. Kanamycin was previously demonstrated to bleach the pigments of the non-transgenic plants. This may yield the idea that kanamycin can be used as an effective screening marker rather than a selectable marker in monocots.   Copyright (c) 2021 Malik Nawaz Shuja, Hasan Riaz, Muhsin Jamal, Muhammad Imran
An empirical analysis of the influence of financialization on investment in Russia
Authors: Tretyakov Dmitry S. , Rozmainsky Ivan V.
Published: December 2021

This paper tries to estimate the impact of financialization on fixed investment in Russia. The work is carried out by using panel data based on reports of non-financial publicly listed companies for 1999–2019. The study finds that financial expenses aimed at paying interest on external financing and paying dividends — that is, focusing on shareholder value, and hence decreasing the internal funds of companies, reduce real investments. Financial incomes have shown the crowding-out effect for large companies. Financial incomes as additional “free” funds in large companies are not perceived as an opportunity to accumulate fixed assets. Managers prefer to increase ­financial investments instead of real ones. In small and medium-sized companies, financial incomes, however, drive the growth of physical investment. This is because small firms, at a particular stage in their lives, find it more profitable to invest in their own growth. The results from the general sample, without dividing by size, indicate that financialization in Russia clearly reduces real investment.

The Effects of Service Quality and Positive Recommendation on Trust Building in Mobile Banking Adoption Among the Customers of Private Banks in Myanmar
Authors: Tun Phyo Min
Published: December 2021

This study attempts to follow the research direction and fill the research gaps of previous studies, most notably the mobile financial service landscape, specifically mobile banking (MB) services of private banks in Myanmar. The proposed research model in this study emphasizes service quality, positive recommendations, and different perspectives of trust namely: trust in banks and trust in MB, and evaluated their extent of influence on customers of private banks to adopt MB. The data was collected from 310 customers of private banks in Myanmar. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were employed to analyze the data and investigate the hypotheses. The analysis results indicate that customer intention to adopt MB is significantly influenced by trust in MB however trust in the bank was found to be statistically insignificant. The positive recommendation plays a critical role in the improvements of trust in the bank and MB according to the research results. Although service quality is a key factor in obtaining positive recommendations and acquiring trust in the bank, it is an insignificant factor in building trust in MB. Further, trust in the bank has a significant effect on trust in MB. These findings are highly beneficial for future research studies in a similar context and for bank managers to develop appropriate strategies regarding MB services in the private banking sector in Myanmar.

Discussão: Os EEER consideram a presença da família como muito importante para doentes hospitalizados e para a segurança dos cuidados., No entanto, os seus discursos evidenciam que a sua atuação foi fortemente influenciada pela visão da família como potencial disseminador de infeção, demonstrando uma avaliação mais negativa do que positiva desta presença para a manutenção dessa segurança, nem sempre suportada pela evidencia disponível.
Conclusão: As medidas restritivas poderão estar a contribuir para um retrocesso na prestação de cuidados centrados na família do doente hospitalizado. Contudo, há falta de dados a nível nacional que permitam perceber se as famílias em Portugal representam um risco para a segurança nos hospitalizados.

Pesquisa qualitativa em saúde: desafios e perspectivas no contexto da COVID-19
Authors: Spadacio Cristiane
Published: December 2021

O “qualitativo” agrega uma série de diferentes tradições em pesquisa, partilhando o pressuposto básico de que todos os fenômenos do humano devam ser analisados a partir da atribuição de significados às coisas e às pessoas em seus contextos de interações sociais [1]. De acordo com Nunes, a pesquisa qualitativa consiste em um conjunto de “[...] práticas materiais e interpretativas que dão visibilidade ao mundo” [2]. Descortinar o mundo com as lentes científicas nos convida a um exercício de abertura para diferentes interpretações da realidade....

Objetivo: Determinar la prevalencia y caracterizar los métodos anticonceptivos en mujeres del Eje Cafetero, y establecer los efectos adversos de los métodos hormonales. Materiales y métodos: Estudio de corte transversal. Se incluyeron 1875 mujeres mayores de 18 años de edad, sexualmente activas y residentes en el Eje Cafetero. La investigación se realizó en la consulta externa de ginecología de seis instituciones hospitalarias (públicas y privadas), en las 6 principales ciudades del Eje Cafetero (Armenia, Calarcá, Pereira, Dos Quebradas, Manizales y Chinchiná); entre julio de 2013 y junio de 2019. Se hizo análisis descriptivo. Se hace descripción estratificada por edad a partir de los 18 años. Resultados: La edad arrojó una media de 26,45 ± 3,72 años. La prevalencia de anticoncepción – planificación familiar en las mujeres del Eje Cafetero es del 78,24 %. Los métodos hormonales son los más usados (69,12 %), seguido por la esterilización (19,23 %). Entre los hormonales, los orales son los más utilizados (60,05 %) y en segundo lugar los implantes (24,26 %). La mastalgia es el principal efecto adverso (32,92 %) seguido por el acné (27,19 %). La alteración de la función sexual se presentó en el 7,39 % de las usuarias de métodos hormonales. Conclusiones: cerca de las ¾ partes de las mujeres del Eje Cafetero utiliza un método anticonceptivo, siendo los métodos hormonales los de elección en las ⅔ de la población, con ⅓ de efectos adversos que no afectan la tasa de satisfacción.
