Il laboratorio del Comitato Etico - 2. La scheda informativa e il modulo di consenso alla sperimentazione clinica
Authors: Spagnolo A.G. , Minacori R. , Sacchini D. , Bignamini A.A.
Published: November 2020

Nell’ambito della serie di articoli sul Laboratorio del Comitato Etico, il presente contributo affronta il tema della preparazione e della valutazione da parte del comitato etico della scheda informativa e del modulo di consenso informato per il soggetto al quale si chiede di partecipare ad uno studio clinico.

Tali documenti costituiscono, infatti, uno degli elementi indispensabili di un protocollo di sperimentazione, molto frequentemente oggetto di revisione critica da parte del CE anche perché secondo la normativa vigente in Italia è l’unica parte del protocollo modificabile sempre secondo le esigenze del singolo CE, anche nel caso delle sperimentazioni multicentriche.

Dopo una breve introduzione sugli aspetti generali del rapporto tra Comitati etici e valutazione del consenso informato, vengono passati in rassegna i principali documenti internazionali di riferimento per l’etica della sperimentazione clinica e le normative vigenti in Italia, nonché le indicazioni da esse fornite agli sperimentatori e ai CE riguardo la stesura della scheda informativa e del modulo di consenso.

Successivamente, dopo un confronto tra le versioni del 1991 e del 1996 delle Good Clinical Practice (GCP) riguardo al tema in oggetto, vengono offerte - anche alla luce della letteratura disponibile - indicazioni e suggerimenti su contenuti ed editing della scheda informativa/modulo di consenso, le quali possono contribuire all’ottimizzazione della stesura di tali documenti.

In appendice viene, infine, fornito un facsimile finalizzato ad aiutare la redazione di tali documenti, sia per l’inclusione di soggetti adulti capaci di consenso, sia di minori o comunque incapaci di consenso personale. Viene comunque lasciato allo sperimentatore o allo sponsor il compito di miglioramenti e adattamenti secondo la propria creatività e secondo le particolari esigenze che i singoli protocolli comportano.
Il rapporto tra Etica e Diritto nella Enciclica Evangelium vitae
Authors: Herranz Julián
Published: November 2020

In questo articolo l’Autore ha voluto sottolineare l’importanza dell’Enciclica Evangelium Vitae nel risvegliare le coscienze contro uno dei più gravi capovolgimenti etici e giuridici della storia umana. L’intento è quello di esaminare tre questioni: 1) risalire alle basi sulle quali si fondava e si fonda il postulato giuridico e morale dell’inalienabilità del diritto alla vita dell’uomo innocente e, soprattutto, del concepito; 2) stabilire le cause che hanno portato ad una legislazione permissiva dell’aborto ed ad altri attentati contro la dignità dell’uomo e della vita umana (eutanasia, manipolazioni di geni ed embrioni…); 3) valutare quali siano i motivi filosofici e biologici la cui presa di coscienza sembri più necessaria per la tutela del diritto alla vita.

Intento dell’Autore è, per ciò che riguarda il diritto alla vita, sottolineare l’importanza che il principio di non discriminazione, basato su quello dell’uguaglianza, venga applicato all’“essere umano”, all’“individuo umano” e non soltanto alla “persona giuridicamente riconosciuta”.

L’articolo si sofferma, inoltre, ad illustrare la grande tradizione del diritto alla vita, il preoccupante regresso della civiltà giuridica, la necessità di un più stretto rapporto tra Diritto e Morale e Biologia e Morale (come campi di ricerca e di impegno intellettuale a difesa della vita).

Chemistry of Emotions - A Review
Authors: Vyshnavi V Rao and ShamsiyaRizwana Varsha N, Malavika B
Published: November 2020

Human body coordinates through chemical signals released by the brain. Chemical signals play a major
role in bio-regulatory reactions responsible for emotions. Emotions are complex chemical reactions in
nervous systemcharacterized by neurophysiologic changes associated with thoughts and behavioral
responses. On pinching, one can cry, skin becomes hot, heart beat increases and our brain desires to shout
out loud or hit something in return. We experience a sudden influx of physical and mental stimuli underlying
a basic emotion. A person experiences diverse emotions throughout the day that are helpful in learning,
reasoning and creativity. Emotions are one the most central and pervasive aspects of human experience.
Emotions motivate empathic and moral behavior and play a role in an individual’s sense of self. While
emotions enrich human experience they can also cause dramatic disruptions of judgment and performance.
Since ancient days psychiatrists have been cracking the brain process responsible for emotions. Greeks were
the first to find the link between the physical body and human emotional responses. Human brain is a
complex network that transmit information every second via neurons through chemicals called
neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin etc. These chemicals essentially let the organs communicate
with each other and express the emotions such as anger and happiness. Analysis of hormones and their
effects on human behavior is a major contribution of biochemistry to the understanding of emotions and
related behavior. In this article we are trying to provide an in-depth knowledge about chemistry of emotion
which we experience every day.

Sector-A Literature Review
Authors: Inderbir Kaur
Published: November 2020

In India, the education sector has been always attentive to adopt innovations and techniques in the
teaching-learning process due to various challenges. But nowadays, academic institutions are becoming
flexible in accepting the new teaching and learning techniques to satisfy the student sector which as cited as
the most vital entity in the educational sector. New technologies, tools, and techniques are proving as a boom
for innovative teaching and learning practices. One of the emerging teaching technique is Blended learning
which is a process refers to “mixing of the different learning environment for educational transfer”. It
combines the traditional face to face classroom method with online learning method supported by advanced
technology and tools. Blended learning should be viewed not only as a temporal construct but also as a
fundamental redesign model. Through this content, delivery becomes digital and online. Truly blended
learning requires teachers should adopt the approach as guides and mentors and learning should go beyond
the classroom walls. Blended learning is also known as Hybrid learning. Although, Indian Government is
taking initiatives to implement a blending learning approach yet there is a need to access the behavioral
aspect of the students to use this blending learning approach. Adopting a blended learning approach must
start with a re-examination of the intended learning outcomes.The deployment of cloud in the blended
learning process makes its existence more strong. This study is the review of literature selected to identify the
need for blended learning deploy with cloud in the teaching-learning process in the Higher Education Sector.
Reconstruction Process of Geomagnetic Data
using Machine Learning
Authors: J. Prasanna kumar and Dr. A.V.Krishna Prasad D. Venkat Sai
Published: November 2020

The geomagnetic data plays a important role in understanding the evolutionary process of Earth’s magnetic
field, as it provides necessary information for near-surface exploration, unexploded explosive ordnance
detection, and so on. To reconstruct the geomagnetic data, this project presents a geomagnetic data
reconstruction method based on machine learning techniques. The traditional linear approaches are prone to
time inefficiency and involves high labor cost, while the proposed approach has a significant improvement. In
this project, three classic machine learning models, support vector machine, random forests, and gradient
boosting were built. And, a deep learning algorithm, recurrent neural network, was explored to further
improve the performance. The proposed learning methods were used to specify a continuous regression
hyperplane from a training data. The specified regression hyperplane is a mapping of the relation between
the missing data and the surrounding intact data. Then, the trained method, were used to build the missing
geomagnetic data for validation, and they can be used for reconstructing further collected new field data.
Finally, numerical experiments were derived. The results shows that the performance of our proposed
methods was more accurate in comparison with the traditional linear learning method, as the reconstruction
accuracy was increased by approximately 10%∼20%.

AlliumCepathe scientific name of an onion. After potato Onion is the second most essential vegetable in our
India. And also onions are very famous in all around the world. In India, the productivity of onion is about 13
lakh tons every month, and in the world, the onion productivity ratio is about 19.40 million. There are about
100 types of onion throughout the world and basically, India produces 9 types of major onion. Onion is very
rich in vitamin C (12%)content and vitamin B-6( 5%)content and also rich in minerals like iron(1%) and
calcium(2%). In the last 10 years, Maharashtra( 4905.0 thousand tons) is the biggest onion producing state in
India. But in 2019 onion prices overlap at Rs 10 kg from Rs 100 kg as demand loss will take place. A huge
amount of wastage of onion takes place every year due to bad Monsoon, transport system and the amount of
wastage is nearly 25% of the total production. In 10 years a remarkable increase in the production of onion in
India and also an increase in the area about 768,000 ha to 1064,000 ha. Onion production has been several
benefits like it reduces our cholesterol level, fights against inflammation, decreases triglycerides and it
contains a high amount of antioxidants. The impact of onion production on the Indian economy, an increase of
onion productivity, price drop, Government policies related to onion production also have been focused on in

How does COVID-19 pandemic affect the India? How many people can be hit in a state and how many of
them will succumb to the disease? When is it going to peak? How long should the government continue with
the lockdown? What is the damage to the economy and what is its impact on each sector? These are some of
the questions that haunt not only the decision makers but every sensible people in India. Mathematical
models developed by mathematicians and epidemiologists has come to assist decision makers in evaluating
the effects of countermeasures to an epidemic before they actually deploy them. The model could give political
and beuricatic person's critical insights into the best steps they could take to counter the spread of disease in
the face of pandemics. Mathematicians use modeling to represent, analyze and make predictions or
otherwise provide insight into real world phenomena. Real world scenarios can be designed into a
mathematical model to bring clarity to big messy questions amid fast changing variables. These models aim
to make simplifying assumptions in order to arrive at tractable equations.
Dealing with the novel coronavirus is an unprecedented situation which the world could not have foreseen. In
order to track the COVID-19 pandemic, make predictions about the disease's progression and take decisions,
as of now, the government is solely dependent on data from doctors and health workers.

Role of Ultrasound Guided Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology
in Intra-abdominal lesion
Authors: Tiwari Mishra Ranu , Batham Pushpa , Nayak Rashmi
Published: November 2020

Introduction: All of the imaging techniques have advantages
and disadvantage in various parts of the body. In intraabdominal lesion ultrasonography guided FNAC has advantage
over computerised tomography guided FNAC because CT is
very costly and not freely available. CT gives high dose of
radiation and therefore should not be used in pregnant women
and in small children whereas ultrasonography has no radiation
effects and hence can be safely used in these cases. Mobile
version of CT is not available and therefore it cannot be used
in faraway places whereas ultrasonography machine is mobile.
Thus, with localization by ultrasonography diagnosis of the
malignancy and staging can be accomplished through FNAC.
Method: Total of 100 cases who came for FNAC of intraabdominal masseswere included in the study, irrespective of
their age, sex or possible nature of mass. Ultrasound guided
Fine needle aspiration was done in all.The aim of the present
study was to assess the feasibility of ultrasound guided Fine
needle aspiration cytology of routine procedure for detection
of abdominal lesion.
Result: Total of 100 cases were studied. In the 80(80%) cases,
aspirates were positive for malignancy and in 17(17%) cases
were negative for malignancy. There were 3% false negative
cases encountered. There were no false positive cases.
Ultrasound was used for mass localization. In 80 positive cases
of malignancy, 36 cases from liver, 10 from lymph node, 7 from
gall bladder, 6 from stomach, 6 from ovary, 3 from urinary
bladder, 1 from pancreas, I from uterus, 3 from miscellaneous
sites.
Conclusion: Percutaneous fine needle aspiration cytology is
reliable method of diagnosing the various pathological lesions
of abdomen. Its diagnostic accuracy is further increased when
performed under Radiological guidance. Of all modalities of
guidance at present is the most suitable.
A comparative study on the role of antenatal care services and child
care at various rural and tribal villages, Adilabad, Telangana state
Authors: G Sreekanth , Nirmala Kusuma , A Ravinder
Published: November 2020

Background: Reproductive, maternal, newborn and child
health is one of the four categories of the universal health
coverage indicators under sustainable development goals
target 3.9: family planning, antenatal care (minimum 4 visits),
with skilled attendants at birth, full child immunization
coverage, and health seeking behavior for suspected child
pneumonia1
. Achievement under millennium development
goals shows that in developing countries like India, mostly in
tribal villages continue to face the greatest challenges in
improving the maternal and child health struggling with a
combination of poor coverage and quality of health care
services and public health interventions. The hard to reach
tribal areas face obstacles in ensuring universal access to sexual,
reproductive health services2
. The indicators showed lower
performance among the tribal communities as seen with most
of the health indicators. Poverty, low literacy and poor
nutritional status of reproductive age women give rise to poor
maternal and child health outcomes along with lack of
healthcare delivery facilities lead poor maternal health
indicators3
.
Methods: A comparative study was conducted on 243
randomly selected mothers who have children less than 7years
in rural and tribal villages (150 and 93 respectively). This is
community based cross-sectional study and done by using a
pre-tested structured questionnaire for data collection at
Shanthapur , a rural village and various tribal villages, at an
average 25kms away from Adilabad town from Jan-October
2019. Analysis was done using SPSS for windows version 16,
Microsoft excel and Open epi website.
Result: Out of 243 study subjects, 85% (206) of the study
subjects were registered for the antenatal services. The mean
age of mother at pregnancy, female literacy, birth order,
number of antenatal visits, person conducting delivery, place
of delivery, birth weight of child, number of breastfeeding per
day, exclusive breastfeeding, total stoppage of breastfeeding
,baby hospitalization due to sickness, weight per age and height
per age of the child are statistically significant(p<0.05) between
the rural and tribal study subjects .
Conclusion and Recommendation: This study revealed that
utilization of ANC services and child care services are far better
by rural women than the tribal women. The role of antenatal
care and child care being influenced by difficulties of
accessibility, availability of these services at tribal areas are
exposed from this study

Published: November 2020

Thyroid swelling or goitre is one of the commonest
presentations among female patients more than males
attending ENT out patients. The clinical importance of thyroid
swelling is related to evaluating their functional status and
assess,whether it is benign,malignant ,hypo or hyper
active.Even if benign should look for pressure symptoms which
justifies surgery.Tuberculous lymphadenitis is the most
common form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis.Coexistence of
thyroid swelling with supraclavicular lymph node mimicking
malignancy with metastatic deposit is unusual and always to
be evaluated. We report a case of a 45-year female,who on
outside initial evaluation was diagnosed as follicular carcinoma
of thyroid. However clinical examination revealed a palpable
supraclavicular lymph node. Thus subjected to a repeat FNA
(fine needle aspiration) from thyroid which revealed benign
thyroid follicular adenoma and FNA from supraclavicular lymph
node revealed tuberculous lymphadenitis, which was further
confirmed by histological sections post operatively.
This case emphasizes the need for thorough clinical
examination and utility of image guided FNA to rule out the
biological nature of these lesions.

Se evaluó la viabilidad de un proyecto que consiste en el establecimiento de una granja acuícola dedicada a la cría y venta de trucha arcoíris con el fin de aprovechar el clima y calidad del agua proveniente de un manantial, que son óptimos para la especie. El proyecto busca impactar en la creación de empleos estables en la región y derivar en un beneficio para sus propietarios. Se realizó una investigación de mercado que se basó en la aplicación de un cuestionario aleatorio de 190 encuestas en la comunidad de Guachochi, Chihuahua. Para codificar los datos se utilizó el programa SPSS versión 19. Los principales resultados indicaron que un 91% consumen trucha arcoiris y un 99.5%, están dispuestas a comprarla. Con base a este resultado se elaboró un proyecto de inversión el cual arrojo resultados positivos con una VAN (15%)= $51,491.76, una TIR del 20% y una relación Beneficio/Costo (15%)= 1.081, lo cual significa que el proyecto es viable. El impacto ambiental será mitigado mediante el uso de un cedazo para eliminar el exceso de materia orgánica para luego usar el agua para riego. Para desechar los peces muertos de la producción se contará con un lugar adecuado para su enterramiento. El proyecto no modificará la dinámica natural de ningún cuerpo de agua. El suelo no se verá afectado, ya que no se expondrá a materiales corrosivos. Se reducirá el impacto del consumo de energía eléctrica mediante el uso de paneles solares para el suministro de energía de la granja.

Bolivia at a Crossroads: Is Consolidation of a ‘Divided Society’ Feasible?
Authors: Vorotnikova T. A.
Published: November 2020

A protest wave which began in 2019 has swept across many Latin American countries. The Multinational State of Bolivia, where rapid destabilization of political situation has led to a serious internal crisis, was no exception. The paper examines the prospects for conﬂict resolution in Bolivia through the lens of the ‘divided society’ concept. The ﬁrst section identiﬁes the key fault lines in Bolivia including ethnic, cultural, and civilizational diﬀerences, economic disproportions, and high levels of social and political polarization. The author shows how the regime of Evo Morales managed to reach an internal balance and maintain it for quite a long time through complex balancing, concessions, and compromises. The second section identiﬁes the causes behind the 2019 crisis. These include miscalculations of the government which has revealed general instability of the country’s political system and threatened to erode democratic institutions; changes in electoral behavior of the population; the increasing role of the armed forces. The author links the possibilities to overcome these challenges faced by Bolivia with the expansion of the social protection in conjunction with the principle of consociationalism, but stresses that even so the consolidation of the Bolivian society will be a time-consuming process.
British Policy and Strategy in the Middle East in 1941: Three Wars ‘East of Suez’
Authors: Fomin A. M.
Published: November 2020

After the defeat of France in the summer of 1940, Great Britain was left face to face with the Nazi Germany. It managed to endure the ﬁrst act of the ‘Battle of Britain’, but could not wage a full-scale war on the continent. Under these conditions, the defense of the British positions in the Mediterranean and in the Middle East became a top priority for W. Churchill’s cabinet. The author examines three episodes of Great Britain’s struggle for the Middle East in 1941 (Iraq, Syria, Iran), framing them into the general logic of the German-British confrontation during this period.

The author emphasizes that potential assertion of German hegemony in the Middle East could have made the defense of Suez almost impossible, as well as the communication with India, and would have provided the Reich with an access to almost inexhaustible supplies of fuel. Widespread antiBritish sentiments on the part of the local political and military elites could contribute greatly to the realization of such, catastrophic for Britain, scenario. Under these circumstances, the British government decided to capture the initiative. The paper examines the British military operations in Iraq and Syria. Special attention is paid to the complex dynamics of relations of the British cabinet with the Vichy regime and the Free France movement. As the author notes, the sharpest disagreements aroused on the future of Syria and Lebanon, and the prospects of granting them independence. In the Iran’s case, the necessity of harmonizing policies with the Soviet Union came to the fore. The growing German inﬂuence in the region, as well as the need to establish a new route for Lend-Lease aid to the USSR, fostered mutual understanding. After the joint Anglo-Soviet military operation in August-September 1941, Iran was divided into occupation zones. Finally, the paper examines the UK position with regard to the neutrality of Turkey. The author concludes that all these military operations led to the creation of a ‘temporary regime’ of the British domination in the Middle East. However, the Anglo-French and Anglo-Soviet rivalries had not disappeared and, compounded by the growing US presence in the region, laid basis for new conﬂicts in the post-war period.
Neutrality or Involvement? World War II and Evolution of Foreign Policy Concepts of the Nordic Countries
Authors: Korunova E. V.
Published: November 2020

In the middle of the 20th century a unique subsystem of international relations emerged in the Northern Europe, which has turned it into one of the stablest and most peaceful regions during the Cold War period. Nowadays, rising international tensions bring new relevance to the history lessons of World War II, its origins and aftermaths. The paper examines the evolution of the Nordic countries’ views on the issue of neutrality from mid-1930s to the end of 1940s. The ﬁrst section considers the approaches of the Scandinavian countries to the establishment of a collective security system in the region in the interwar period. In that regard, the paper focuses on the Swedish project of the Northern defense alliance, which was aimed at deepening military cooperation between the states of the region and strengthening their ability to jointly deter any aggression as the best way to guarantee their neutrality. However, this project had not been implemented, because it faced both cool reactions from the leaders of Norway and Denmark and suspicion from the leading powers. According to the author, the fundamental reason for the failure of that project was that Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland sought support and protection from diﬀerent, opposing great powers. The latter circumstance had also to a large extent predetermined the fate of the Scandinavian countries during the war years, when almost all of them were in one form or another involved in the conﬂict. The victory of the anti-Hitler coalition both opened new opportunities and posed new challenges for the states of the region: in the emerging bipolar world they rapidly turned into the subject matter of dispute of the superpowers. In these conditions, Sweden once again put forward the idea that in order to preserve peace in the region, the Nordic countries should be able to defend their neutrality and proposed the establishment of a Scandinavian Defense Union. In the ﬁnal section, the paper examines the reaction to this project of the Scandinavian countries, the Soviet Union, the United States, and Great Britain. The author shows that although this reaction was more than restrained, and the project was not implemented, Sweden’s initiatives contributed to the creation of a unique security architecture in Northern Europe, where each state of the region had its own role with the neutral Sweden serving as a balancing force.
Organizações sociais no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro: ultrapassando os limites da omissão legislativa
Authors: Tourinho Rita
Published: November 2020

Dentre os modelos existentes no ordenamento jurídico brasileiro que tratam da transferência de atividades públicas não-estatais a entes privados desprovidos de fins lucrativos, destaca-se o contrato de gestão firmado com entidades qualificadas como Organizações Sociais, inaugurado com a Lei Federal nº 9.637/98. Este trabalho volta-se ao enfrentamento de questões cujas normas legais editadas não foram capazes de solucionar. Aborda-se todos os questionamentos que envolvem desde o processo de qualificação da entidade, passando pela sua seleção, até a execução do contrato de gestão, com destaque para os debates em torno da sua natureza jurídica e questões afins. Foca-se, ainda, a fase de execução do ajuste e possível responsabilização civil da Organização Social. Por fim, o controle externo é também abordado, com ênfase à atuação dos Tribunais de Contas.

Delimitation of co-perpetration from aiding and abetting in the criminal offence of robbery
Authors: Mijanić Vedran , Sokanić Lucija
Published: November 2020

Aim: Analysis of the case law related to the prosecution of the criminal offense of robbery. Robbery is a complex criminal offense committed when a perpetrator uses force against another person, as well as when they threaten to directly endanger one's life or cause physical injury, or when they seize another's movable property with the aim of misappropriating it.
Methods: In selected cases, the application of main theories regarding complicity was examined and critically tested, taking into account the findings of the fact.
Results: The analysis of the current case law points to the absence of clear criteria for the delimitation of complicity from aiding and abetting in the criminal offense of robbery. Criminal law theory leaves too much empty space subject to manipulation when, by mentioning substantial contribution, it refers to behaviors without which an offense could not have been committed in the planned manner. The will of the perpetrator should constitute a secondary tool to be used only in controversial, borderline situations, where the nature of the behavior not pertaining to the essence of the criminal offense, due to its character and importance within the joint plan, requires it to be equated with the perpetration act. In that regard, as the joint plan is not a term that can be fully objectified since the importance of roles within the plan can vary from one group of perpetrators to another, assessing the will of the perpetrator can be an alternative to resort to in situations where it is not possible to evaluate the quality of a behavior based on objective rules.
Conclusion: Uneven case law in the evaluation of the behavior of individual participants in robbery contributes to the inequality of citizens before the law and endangers legal security – one of the foundations of the rule of law.
Determining Critical Micelle Concentration of Organic Corrosion Inhibitors and its Effectiveness in Corrosion Mitigation
Authors: Moradighadi Negar , Lewis Starr , Olivo Juan Dominguez , Young David , Brown Bruce , Nešić Srdjan
Published: November 2020

Critical micelle concentration (CMC) of a surfactant corrosion inhibitor is considered to be an important property which may indicate its corrosion mitigation efficiency. One of the common methods to determine a CMC is via surface tension measurements of inhibitor solutions. In this work, the validity of surface tension measurement as an indirect technique for the detection of micelle formation is discussed and tested in conjunction with an alternative method—fluorescence spectroscopy, which was used as a technique that more directly detects micelles in a solution. Results show that surface tension measurements of a quaternary ammonium bromide inhibitor solution, that can determine the concentration at which the water/air interface becomes saturated by the inhibitor molecules, does not always correlate with the formation of micelles. In some cases, the formation of micelles occurred in the same concentration range while in others it happened at much higher concentrations, as determined by fluorescence spectroscopy. Moreover, there was no clear correlation between CMC and maximum inhibition of the corrosion rate.
