Authors: Hategekimana Jean Baptiste
Published: July 2024

In the atmosphere of COVID-19 pandemic, life has drastically changed. Many of us now work from home, turn to telemedicine to see a doctor, watch more Netflix to stay entertained, and use online communication tools to talk with friends. This resulted in a significant increase in internet data usage over the first few months of the outbreak. Today nearly around 4.57 billion people are active internet users as of July 2020, encompassing roughly 60 per cent of the global population. The paper aims to analyze the growth of internet use in the post COVID-19 pandemic. The paper makes use of secondary data from several online sources such as IAMAI, Internet Live Stats, TRAI, Our world data, statista, and applies a number of quantitative and cartographic techniques using QGIS to examine the spatial growth of internet use. Study shows that there is a great leap forward in the use of the internet worldwide and post globalization in India. Pandemic has caused great enhancement in the use of the internet, though all may not be productive.
Fostering Inclusivity: Revealing Law Enforcement's Stance on Gay and Bisexual Men in the Police Force
Authors: Bett Davies Kipkorir , Juma Dennis
Published: July 2024

Gender diversity in the workplace, particularly in law enforcement agencies, continues to be a significant concern for many organizations. Law enforcement agencies have come under particular scrutiny regarding their inclusivity practices within the public sector. This study aims to investigate the attitudes of law enforcement personnel towards the inclusion of gay and bisexual men in the police force, utilizing a descriptive research design. A survey was conducted among 413 randomly selected police officers in Baguio City to gather their opinions on this matter. The survey results revealed that the police officers neither agree nor disagree with including gay and bisexual men in the police force. This neutral response suggests a lack of strong or definitive opinions regarding the issue. It may indicate uncertainty, a need for further awareness, or potential openness to the idea of inclusivity. The findings underscore the importance of addressing gender diversity concerns in law enforcement and emphasize the need for educational initiatives to foster a more inclusive and equitable environment within the police force. By understanding the current attitudes of law enforcement personnel, this research serves as a foundation for future interventions and training programs to promote a more diverse and supportive police force, where all individuals, regardless of their sexual orientation, can contribute to public safety effectively.

Authors: Marașcovschi Alexandrina
Published: July 2024

The fiscal system represents one of the most important elements for the realization of the state's economic policy. The prosperity and functioning of the state depends on the existing tax system. The fiscal system of the Republic of Moldova is still changing in order to create and ensure the fiscal revenues of the state. The European Union draws attention to the transformations that have taken place following the creation of the single space and the advantages that derive from EU membership. Given the fact that the Republic of Moldova has signed the Association Agreement with the European Union, it follows the necessity of aligning the legislation in the fiscal field.The reform of the national tax system is aimed at implementing own tax policies as well as some elements of European tax policy, namely those related to indirect taxes (VAT and excises).

Published: July 2024

Malgré des performances économiques considérables au cours des deux dernières décennies, la Moldavie reste l'un des pays les plus pauvres d'Europe. Bien que la croissance tirée par la consommation et alimentée par les envois de fonds ait généré une croissance considérable et réduit la pauvreté, elle est devenue moins durable bien avant la pandémie de COVID-19. La baisse des envois de fonds, conjuguée à la baisse de la population et au vieillissement, a entraîné une baisse de la croissance de la productivité et un nombre important de personnes à faible revenu sont devenues dépendantes des pensions et des prestations sociales.
The retrospective of excise taxation and the need for harmonization at the current stage of excise duty rates in the Republic of Moldova with those of the European Union
Authors: Jemna Roxana
Published: July 2024

The excise tax is a consumption tax that is applied to goods with an inelastic demand, so that the increase in the prices of these products does not significantly influence consumption. In this way, the state not only ensures a stable and relatively predictable source of tax revenues, but also limits the consumption of products harmful to health. The European integration of the Republic of Moldova has become the priority of the country's internal and external policy, thus there is a need to carry out a series of reforms in all areas, but of special importance are the reforms related to the harmonization of legislation and fiscal systems. As a result of the importance of excise duties in the structure of indirect taxes collected by the Republic of Moldova, but also the difference between the excise duty rates applied by our country and the EU member countries, the problem of their harmonization obviously arises.

Small Businesses. Risks and Opportunities
Authors: Gîrbu Ana-Maria
Published: July 2024

To become big, all businesses once started out small. Big businesses and even big government projects depend on small businesses as subcontractors. That’s exactly why we need to spread awareness about the risks and opportunities of small businesses. Small and large companies have different advantages and drawbacks with innovation, but small businesses provide the most conducive environment for entrepreneurship and innovation that are not necessarily sustained by the know-how and resources characteristic of large-scale production, but require commitment and close cooperation between company members. This research highlights the major obstacles that slow down the growth of small businesses and negatively impact their evolution. It also provides viable solutions that will improve the dynamic of small business in Moldova and will contribute to creating a transparent and comfortable economical system adapted to the needs of small companies.
Clauza penală – mijloc de garantare a executării obligațiilor
Authors: Costin Arina
Published: July 2024

The penalty clause is an important mechanism in civil contracts to protect the rights and interests of the contracting parties if one of them fails to fulfil its obligations. In the Republic of Moldova, this provision is regulated by the Civil Code, which sets out the conditions and limits under which a penalty clause may be included in civil contracts. When a contract is concluded, it is uncertain whether one partner or the other will fulfil their contractual obligations properly. Sometimes a contracting party may not be able to perform its obligations, sometimes it may, in bad faith, try to delay performance as long as possible. For diligent creditors, the legislator has regulated several ways in which it is possible to guarantee the performance of obligations. By guaranteeing obligations, we mean all the legal means, i.e. the rights and actions recognised directly by law or arising from the agreement of the parties to the obligation, the exercise of which ensures the enforcement of the claim. A penalty clause is a contractual provision whereby the parties assess the loss in advance, stipulating that the debtor must pay the creditor a sum of money or other property in the event of non-performance of the obligation. The purpose of this article is to analyse the regulations on the penalty clause in the Civil Code of the Republic of Moldova, to highlight its importance in civil contracts and to examine the conditions under which it can be applied, as well as its limitations and legal effects. It will go on to provide details on the concept of a penalty clause, how it can be included in contracts, its limitations and legal effects in the Republic of Moldova, as well as examples of situations in which the penalty clause can be used to protect the interests of the contracting parties.

Authors: Azizah Firas
Published: July 2024

Introduction: Work stress is the response of the body and mind of individuals to changes in their work environment that are considered disruptive and carry potential threats to themselves.
Objectives: This study aims to analyze the factors that cause work stress experienced by workers at the Calvin Christian School Project of PT Total Bangun Persada Tbk. in 2022.
Method: The type of research used is a descriptive analysis method with a qualitative approach. This research was conducted on 6 informants including 2 craftsmen, 1 caster, 1 finishing worker, 1 scaffolding worker, and 1 cleaning worker. With a sampling technique using purposive sampling. Data collection uses interviews. In this research, the stages of data processing include data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion, as well as the application used by researchers, namely triangulation.
Result: The results of this research show that individual factors as causes of work stress do not occur too high, because informants do not use individual factors as pressure or conflict that causes work stress when in the work environment. The work factor is the unpredictable weather so sometimes the time needed to complete the work is a little longer, but this does not make the informant feel pressured so it does not cause work stress. External factors at work do not cause high work stress, but the work environment is less comfortable for the informant because working on a clean project cannot be felt. Apart from that, supporting factors do not cause high work stress, informants always prioritize cooperation with other workers so that no informant feels difficult or has excessive burdens, apart from that, superiors also treat informants well, there is no excessive pressure, all the workers need is highly regarded by his superiors.
Conclusion: Factors that cause work stress experienced by workers at the Calvin Christian School Project of PT Total Bangun Persada Tbk in 2022 include individual factors, work factors (uncertain weather), factors outside of work (the work environment is not comfortable enough), supporting factors (cooperation). However, this doesn't have a big impact as a cause of stress.

Case Series: Constipation and Fecal Incontinence in Children with ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder
Authors: Alnahe Sarah
Published: July 2024

The comorbidity of gastrointestinal (GI) diseases is high among attention deficit and hyperactivity disease (ADHD) children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Previous investigations report fecal incontinence and constipation as the most prevalent GI disorders among ADHD-ASD children, posing clinical questions regarding effective management approaches. This case series investigates the incidences, symptomatology and behavioral disorders reported by children with and without histories of ADHD and ASD to inform evidence-based interventions and policy. Methods. This case series investigated gastrointestinal abnormalities among 12 preschoolers in a psychiatric clinic. The investigation considers a history of children with GI disorders and comorbidity with psychiatric illness. Parents’ and teachers’ accounts of children informed the clinical decisions. The case series reported a higher incidence of constipation and fecal retention among male than female children, 7 and 5, respectively. The international classification confirmed the signs and symptoms reported by constipated children, including high avoidance of school and public restrooms and a preference for home restrooms. Behavioral disorders like hyperfocus, which are a defense mechanism against the sensory-rich school environment, marked the incidence of the disorders. However, clinical interventions like stool softeners, including polyethylene glycol, and other laxatives were administered to stimulate defecation by enhancing bowel motility. The cognitive behavioral therapy was indicated to the children to impart coping skills necessary to handle sensory-rich environments. Preschoolers presented fundamental behavioral disorders and other symptoms, including hyperfocus, fecal incontinence at home and retention at school due to the sensory-rich environments. Medications like laxatives and stool softeners enhance bowel movement, whereas psychotherapy enhances children’s coping skills to prevent the withholding of feces in sensory-rich environments like schools and other public places. These interventions alleviated symptoms and improved the children’s quality of life.

Misdiagnosis of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder As Conduct Disorder in A Bullying Context
Authors: Alnaher Sarah
Published: July 2024

Misdiagnosis misinforms treatments and results in undesired outcomes in clinical and psychiatric practices. Such incidences are common in psychiatric spaces and clinics, with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) misdiagnosis for Conduct Disorder (CD) emerging as a common occurrence. This case critiques ADHD’s misdiagnosis for CD in a 13-year-old Indian-American, unveiling the effects of environmental stressors, bullying and racial discrimination on the symptoms of ADHD. A 13-year-old Indian-American attends a special education facility and faces racial discrimination. The rejection on the school bus in the morning and the classroom provoked aggression and hyperreaction. The racial discrimination and environmental factors aggravated CD symptoms, prompting a misdiagnosis of ADHD as CD. The Indian-American boy was bullied by White peers. His teachers complicated the case by providing inaccurate information about the boy’s behaviour. This information misled the diagnosis and, hence, treatment. The DSM-V diagnostic model was used to diagnose the boy’s condition. The bullied Indian-American boy responded to the environmental stimuli through hyperactivity, and aggression by bringing a toy gun to school. He pointed the gun at the tormentor as a response to the stimuli, replicating the environmental influence on his actions. Even though inaccurate, this would be the teacher’s basis of narratives about the boy’s behaviour. In response, peer group therapy and amphetamine were indicated to the boy as treatments against CD. This case underscores the importance of a thorough psychiatric evaluation that considers environmental and psychosocial factors, especially in culturally and racially diverse populations. The Indian-American boy underwent peer group therapy to enhance problem resolution and amphetamine treatment to alleviate psychosocial problems. By mocking his tormentors, his teacher thought that the boy was in full-blown conduct disorder. Racial discrimination and bullying on the bus significantly exacerbated his actions, which led to the misdiagnosis. Based on the teacher’s misinformation and other factors, the boy’s ADHD was confused for CD.

Published: July 2024

Pharmacotherapy for type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) aims to reduce blood glucose levels, with metformin, a widely administered oral hypoglycemic agent. However, its oral efficacy can be compromised due to drug interactions. Micronized metformin hydrochloride encapsulated in liposomes emerges as an optimized form of conventional metformin, with ionized nanoparticle technology allowing its topical use. This form of the drug is available in higher plasma levels, significantly increasing its efficacy. Thus, it is essential to incorporate this drug into a topical galenic base, improving the therapeutic regimen of polymedicated patients with T2DM who do not respond adequately to oral administration. Therefore, this work aimed to develop a transdermal gel containing micronized metformin encapsulated in liposomes as a more effective alternative in the treatment of T2DM. Micronized metformin encapsulated in liposomes (50 mg/dose) was incorporated into a transdermal gel base (q.s.). A preliminary stability study was conducted over 30 days (T0, T7, T15, T30) under different conditions, evaluating organoleptic and physicochemical aspects, with samples subjected to thermal and mechanical stress. A homogeneous white transdermal gel was obtained. Preliminary stability showed that the evaluated parameters remained constant in two environments (refrigerator and room temperature). In addition to the formulation, it is crucial to establish quality control parameters that ensure compliance. Thus, this work enabled the development of a transdermal gel containing modified metformin and its preliminary stability study, promoting a more effective therapeutic response in the treatment of T2DM.

Authors: Serey Mardy , Mardy Serey , Chanthuch Try
Published: July 2024

Rice is a vital crop for ASEAN countries, serving as a primary source of food security and playing a significant role in the regional economy. To draw lessons for rice supply and demand in Cambodia, this article will examine and briefly describe the rice markets in different ASEAN nations, including import and export, rice milling technology, government policy, obstacles, and opportunists. In Cambodia, a program utilizing the sustainable rice cluster (SRC) approach has been developed and put into action by the government in order to maintain the rise of rice production. Compared to traditional approaches, SRC has enhanced rice cultivation by about 40%. The key lessons Cambodia can learn are boosting domestic production, diversifying rice varieties, improving storage and distribution, practicing climate-smart practices, strengthening regional cooperation, improving market access, and farmer empowerment. By analyzing rice demand and supply dynamics in ASEAN and applying the lessons learned, Cambodia can strive to achieve self-sufficiency in rice production and reduce reliance on imports, increase the profitability and competitiveness of the rice sector, enhance food security for its population, and contribute to regional food security within ASEAN.

Determining magnetic field strength as a function of current in Helmholtz coils
Authors: Erzhanova Nazerke
Published: July 2024

This experiment looks into the relationship between the strength of the magnetic field produced by two Helmholtz coils and the current passing through them. A 100 Ohm, 1.8 A rheostat is used to link the Helmholtz coils to a variable power source (0-20V, 0-5A) while keeping them firmly fastened. The magnetic field at the coils' center is carefully measured by a digital Teslameter equipped with a Hall probe while the current is gradually changed. A digital multimeter with several working modes makes data collecting easier and guarantees accurate results. It is possible to empirically validate theoretical predictions by charting magnetic field strength against current. Strict safety procedures, such as temperature monitoring and safe electrical connections, are followed during the experiment. To guarantee alignment and stability, Helmholtz coils are fastened to a sturdy core assembly utilizing supports, clamps, and rods. The calibration factor and the horizontal flux density as a function of coil current are calculated as part of the setup. The measurement of the angle between the coil axis and the "north/south" direction is made possible by the maximum needle deflection at 4 A.
The Synesthetic Language of Picasso: Exploring Emotions and Sensations in His Art
Authors: Pinos Koncha
Published: July 2024

This review article adopts an interdisciplinary approach in analyzing Picasso’s synesthetic experiences and a transformative glaze on his artwork. It integrates and analyses the methods from different disciplines through Art Historical Analysis. It explores Picasso’s paintings in various phases and investigates possible synesthetic perception by observing patterns of colors, forms, and compositions. Neuroscientific Approaches are incorporated to explain how the sensory input of the receiver could have triggered a cross-modal effect in Picasso’s work by exploring the concepts of synesthesia. Psychological interpretation explores the psychological theory of feeling and investigates how Picasso’s feeling processes are associated with synesthetic feeling and his creative decision-making processes. This article includes a literature review that explains the purpose of positioning Picasso’s synesthetic artwork in the broader context of synesthesia and the theories of art. Due to this kind of multidisciplinary approach adopted in work, the richness of Picasso’s synesthetic imagination can be examined more profoundly, and the interactions between experience, feeling, or even mood of the artist with their art can be reconstructed in detail. In this context, synthesizing findings from the multi-disciplinary literature, this paper offers a novel insight into Picasso’s synesthetic imagination and a holistic understanding of artistic innovation.
Pouvoir du tribunal arbitral d’examiner une créance opposée en compensation
Authors: Pittet Luc
Published: July 2024

In its decision 4A_420/2022 of 30 March 2023, the Swiss Federal Tribunal dealt with whether an arbitral tribunal has the power to adjudicate a set-off claim based on a claim outside of the scope of the arbitration clause. The question has been given a positive answer in Swiss domestic arbitration yet it remains controversial in international arbitration. This case stems from the transfer of a football player from a French to an English club. Shortly after the transfer agreement, the player tragically died in an airplane crash. The French club claimed the first installment of the transfer agreement. The English club raised a set-off defense, with a claim in tort based on the alleged liability of the French club in the crash. Both FIFA and the CAS refused to adjudicate the set-off claim. The Swiss Federal Tribunal firstly pointed out that the question of jurisdiction for set-off claim could not be resolved by case law one for all. It then considered that the principle of Swiss law in domestic arbitration could not be transposed to international arbitration. It finally considered that the FIFA had no mandate to allocate set-off claims, so that CAS had rightly denied its jurisdiction on the set-off claim of the English club, and dismissed the appeal.

Published: July 2024

Reflecting on twenty years of Cyprus’s EU membership, this paper aims to provide an account of the rationale for its accession to the EU and the euro area, and an assessment of their benefits. The argument made in the paper is that although it was security rather than economic considerations that accounted for Cyprus’s EU accession, the latter also came with certain financial benefits. Moreover, while Cyprus’s accession to the single currency was motivated by its desire to be part of the hard core of the European unification project, its euro area participation was to stand Cyprus in good stead in its hour of need, during the Cypriot sovereign debt crisis of 2012–2013. The paper also explores whether the unprecedented accession of a divided country to the EU may provide a source of inspiration for future enlargements, where sui generis circumstances prevail.

This research paper explores the Ethereum blockchain technology in revolutionizing real estate investment through crowdfunding. Traditional real estate markets face challenges in liquidity, accessibility, and transparency, which this study addresses by proposing a blockchain-based solution. The research examines the implementation of a system utilizing Ethereum smart contracts, Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), and ERC20 tokens to enable fractional property ownership and automate investment processes. The study employs a technical stack comprising Vue.js for the front-end, Solidity for smart contract development, and the Truffle framework for deployment. Ethereum serves as the blockchain platform, with Ganache-CLI used for local testing. The system incorporates MetaMask for wallet management and Stripe for fiat currency processing, demonstrating a comprehensive approach to integrating blockchain technology with existing financial systems. Through detailed implementation and analysis, this paper provides insights into the practical applications and challenges of blockchain in real estate crowdfunding. The findings suggest that while this technology offers promising solutions to longstanding issues in real estate investment, considerations around scalability, regulatory compliance, and user adoption remain critical [4]. Keywords: Blockchain, Ethereum, Smart Contracts, Crowdfunding Real Estate Tokenization, ERC-20 Tokens, Initial Coin Offering (ICO), Fractional Ownership, Liquidity, Transparency, Ganache, Remix IDE, MetaMask, Solidity, Truffle Framework.

La hiperpotasemia es un trastorno electrolítico frecuente en los servicios de urgencias y un manejo adecuado impacta en el pronóstico de los pacientes. Este requiere de la integración de datos clínicos y analíticos sobre el estado de la función renal, la hidratación, el equilibrio ácido-base y la afectación cardiaca. Además, es necesaria una precisa toma de decisiones sobre la corrección de la concentración de potasio en el tiempo indicado para cada caso. Por estos motivos la SEMES (Sociedad Española de Medicina de Urgencias y Emergencias), la SEC (Sociedad Española de Cardiología) y la SEN (Sociedad Española de Nefrología) unen esfuerzos en consensuar definiciones y tratamientos que podrían mejorar el abordaje de estos pacientes en los servicios de urgencias hospitalarios. El calcio intravenoso, la insulina con glucosa y el salbutamol siguen siendo los tratamientos que se emplean en la hiperpotasemia aguda. Los diuréticos de asa y tiazídicos también pueden ayudar en pacientes no depleccionados, y la hemodiálisis puede ser necesaria en hiperpotasemias graves en el contexto de insuficiencia renal. Los efectos secundarios y la baja tolerabilidad de las resinas de intercambio iónico están haciendo que caigan en desuso mientras que los nuevos intercambiadores catiónicos gastrointestinales van ganando su espacio e incluso podrían tener algún valor en el tratamiento agudo. Es fundamental el ajuste del tratamiento evitando retirar fármacos que, a pesar de favorecer la hiperpotasemia, mejoren el pronóstico a largo plazo, por lo que es imperativo buscar alternativas válidas para cada grupo de pacientes, asegurando después un estrecho seguimiento.
