Prediction of Endotracheal Tube Size in Pediatric Population Using Ultrasonographic Subglottic Diameter and Age-Related Formulas
Authors: Bharathi B. M. , Somayaji Sharmila , Tulasi T. , Sheriff N. Kaleemullah , Bagliker Jaidev S.
Published: August 2022

Background:

Choosing the correct Endotracheal tube (ETT) size is important in paediatric patients because an inappropriately large and small sized tube has its own disadvantages and chances of re-intubation with different size tube is high. The currently available modalities do not reflect the actual tracheal diameter for selection of endotracheal tube. Ultrasonography (USG) guided evaluation of transverse diameter at subglottic region may be helpful to estimate the proper size of ETT. We tested the hypothesis that Ultrasound guided subglottic diameter better predicts optimal ETT size than existing methods.

Aims:

To predict the appropriate size of ETT in pediatric patients to avoid multiple attempts of intubation and airway edema using simple noninvasive USG-guided methods.

Settings and Design:

Design: Prospective study

Settings:

Tertiary care hospital.

Materials and Methods:

Institutional ethical committee clearance no. BMCRI/PS/138/2020-21 was taken. Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation were done in 27 pediatric patients of age 2-15 years using a predetermined-sized ETT, estimated by ultrasonography. ETT size was considered optimal when the cuff leak test was negative. If there was resistance to ETT passage into the trachea, the tube was exchanged with one that was 0.5 mm smaller. If the cuff leak test was positive, then the ETT was exchanged for one with the 0.5-mm larger tube. The comparison was done between the size of ETT calculated by USG-guided subglottic diameter, age, height-related formulas, and clinical methods to look for accuracy of prediction for proper ETT size after cuff leak test.

Statistical Analysis:

The data collected were entered into Microsoft Excel and analyzed using SPSS version 22. IBM Corp. Released 2013. IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 22.0. Armonk, NY: IBM Corp. Appropriate parametric and nonparametric tests were applied wherever necessary.

Categorical data:

Represented in the form of frequencies and proportions. Continuous data: Represented as mean and standard deviation. Paired sample test: Test to identify the mean difference between two quantitative variables. Kappa statistics: To measure the level of agreement.

Results:

A total of 27 children of age between 2 and 15 years were selected, out of which 15 were male and 12 were female. The accuracy of predicting appropriate ETT size is greater in ultrasound-guided subglottic diameter when compared to conventional clinical assessment and age- and height-related formula and almost the same accuracy as the clinical method.

Conclusion:

Ultrasound-guided subglottic diameter is an easy, effective, and noninvasive way of predicting accurate ETT size in the pediatric population.
A Comparative Study between Transversus Abdominis Block with Ropivacaine (0.2%) and Fentanyl Versus Plain Ropivacaine (0.2%) for Postoperative Analgesia in Lower Abdominal Surgeries Under General Anesthesia
Authors: Suryawanshi Chhaya M , Kabra Pratik , Ravindran Dheeraj Gopal , Singh Alisha
Published: August 2022

Background:

Lower abdominal surgeries are associated with significant visceral, somatic, and neuropathic pain in postoperative period. Transversus abdominis plane block (TAP) is a technique used in the management of surgical abdominal pain by injecting local anesthetic in the plane between internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles. We compared utility of TAP block using ropivacaine alone and also in combination with fentanyl for patients undergoing abdominal surgeries.

Aim:

To compare ropivacaine (0.2%) versus ropivacaine (0.2%) plus fentanyl (1 mcg/kg) used in transversus abdominal plane for the management of postoperative abdominal pain.

Objective:

To evaluate quality and duration of analgesia in the management of patients.

Materials and Methods:

Thirty patients undergoing abdominal surgeries were equally divided into two groups. Group-I received ropivacaine (0.2%) and Group-II received ropivacaine (0.2%) along with fentanyl (1 mcg/kg) as transversus abdominal block. Patients with stable hemodynamic parameters, American Society of Anesthesiologists grade I and II, and undergoing elective procedures were included in the study. Patients with significant comorbidities and emergency procedures were excluded. Vitals were recorded intraoperatively and subsequent to the procedure. Visual analog scale was recorded at 2nd, 4th, 12th, and 24th h postoperatively.

Results:

The hemodynamic parameters including blood pressure and heart rate were similar in both the groups with nonsignificant difference. Time to rescue analgesia in the form of injection tramadol was significantly earlier in the group that received ropivacaine alone. Patients receiving ropivacaine significantly had a higher severity pain at all the time points. No serious adverse events were noted in the either of the groups.

Conclusion:

TAP block using ropivacaine along with fentanyl may provide a higher quality of analgesia in patients undergoing abdominal surgeries in postoperative period.
The Essence of Western-Christian Influence in Talmudic Legal Tradition
Authors: Farooqui Mohammad Owais , Ashok Dinesh , Qureshi Tahir
Published: August 2022

This paper examines the interdisciplinary approach of religion and law in the contexts of legal traditions of the world wherein the Talmudic legal tradition has been studied with the core aspects of Western-Christian influence over it. It starts with a brief introduction of the origins of Christian influences as propounded within western approaches going back to the era of the Roman Period being Christianised. We have attempted to study and interrogate the theoretical assertions of ‘Traditions’ provided by Patrick H. Glenn in the context of Western-Christian dominance originating within revolutionary historical phases. It was also an endeavour of this study to better understand the exchange of traditions within western dominance by judging one’s juxtaposition of internal rationality within their orbit. The process continues with the analysis of the ‘identity persuasion’ and the ‘proselytizing character’ of traditions. The various aspects of the Talmudic legal tradition have been dealt with herein covering a Rights based approach with identity features and Western-Christian influence in its origins having a basic structure with the ‘Talmud’ at its cores. The basic nature of ‘Talmud’ in both civil and criminal laws has been dealt with and we have sought to understand its relevance.

EL EMPODERAMIENTO FEMINISTA COMO FACTOR DE RIESGO PARA LA MASCULINIDAD HEGEMÓNICA
Authors: Naiara Cuevas García
Published: August 2022

El empoderamiento feminista está relacionado con la toma de poder y autonomía de las mujeres, relegadas históricamente a un segundo plano, detrás de los hombres, por el sistema patriarcal. Se ha tratado de identificar si este concepto incide en las relaciones de pareja heterosexuales jóvenes contemporáneas, así como en la masculinidad de los hombres que forman parte de las mismas. Para ello se han realizado seis entrevistas semiestructuradas, tanto a hombres como mujeres jóvenes heterosexuales, estando ellas inmersas en circuitos feministas de conocimiento. El objetivo que se ha perseguido es conocer si los conocimientos feministas que ellas están adquiriendo inciden en su proceso de empoderamiento feminista, en las dinámicas de poder que se desarrollan dentro de su relación de pareja y en la identidad masculina de sus parejas heterosexuales.

Edificación sostenible, una transformación
Authors: Sánchez Durand Estefany
Published: August 2022

En el mundo generamos diversas dudas cuando desconocemos la raíz de lo aparentemente conocido. Ello explica por qué la sociedad no aprecia una edificación sostenible y sus beneficios tanto presentes como futuros, además el origen de ese desconocimiento no permite cuidar nuestra casa verde y mucho menos el avance del país. En tal sentido, la verdadera funcionalidad de la edificación sostenible debe ser parte de una respuesta a nuestro actuar con rostro humano, donde lo medular sea el conocimiento y la aplicación del proceso constructivo, tomando en cuenta el ahorro económico, nuestro propio bienestar y sin alterar el medio ambiente. Bajo esta premisa, debemos aceptar de manera consciente que a nuestro país aún le falta incluir con mayor ímpetu la edificación sostenible dentro del sector construcción, abarcando el desarrollo sostenible en toda su amplitud.

Let us take a look at these new high-tech communications and how they shape the industry. Local area-defined software is a software system that manages wide area networks, provides ease of use, single site management and minimizes the cost, and can enhance communication with branch offices and the cloud. There are been some changes in local networks nothing has been more relevant than software-defined WAN or SD-WAN, which changes the way network professionals think about improving multimedia connectivity such as changing the Multi-protocol label. (MPLS), independent transfer and Digital Subscriber Line (DSL). The separation of hardware and control plane is similar to how software-defined networks use visual technology to improve the management and operation of their data centers. In fact, SD-WAN are set up and managed using proprietary protocols such as Cisco iOS. That is less hardware and less control over the hardware. A leading SD-WAN application that enables organizations to build highly efficient WANs with cost-effective turnkey Internet access. This allows organizations to phase out or completely replace low-cost WAN communication technologies such as MPLS. So customers can easily manage their network regardless of the connection provider. SD-WAN is currently one of the hottest topics with a real impact on CC services and WAN environment. SD-WAN it affects the way we think about how we use the web services yet. More importantly, it has great potential to change the way we use Communication Services in future. There are several industries that are interesting SD-WAN deployment conditions.

Authors: Nwadiaru Moreira Lois Adamma
Published: August 2022

Desde su independencia de la Corona Española y de la República de Colombia, Ecuador se ha regido por veinte constituciones jurídico-políticas, siendo la primera la Constitución del Estado del Ecuador expedida en el año 1830 y la última, actualmente vigente, la Constitución de la República del Ecuador expedida en el año 2008. Partiendo del cuestionamiento: ¿Quiénes y por qué han sido históricamente sujetos de derechos de ciudadanía en Ecuador?, el presente artículo tiene por objeto realizar un análisis de la relación de la colonización y poscolonización española con la limitación histórica del goce de derechos de ciudadanía impuesta a determinados grupos poblacionales en razón de la raza, la clase, el género y la edad, utilizando para el efecto el enfoque cualitativo y el método histórico-lógico. Adicionalmente, se utilizaron las técnicas de recolección y análisis bibliográfico. Los resultados que se exponen en el presente artículo refieren la exclusión a la que han sido sometidos grupos poblacionales debido a las categorías mencionadas; y, permiten aportar a visibilizar las formas en que desde lo jurídico se han situado a las personas pertenecientes a estos grupos sociales.
Visiones hispanas acerca de Asia a lo largo del siglo XIX: Alí Bey el abbassi y Adolfo Rivadeneyra
Authors: Escribano Martín Fernando
Published: August 2022

El siglo XIX español es muy complicado desde el punto de vista político. Los continuos cambios de gobierno implicaron políticas muy distintas en el ámbito internacional, que se trataron de adaptar a un marco general también muy cambiante. Esta comunicación pretende trazar las líneas generales de esta acción (o inacción) exterior de España, con atención especial al continente asiático. Lo que en principio se podría adelantar como conclusión general, que la política hacia Asia por parte de España apenas existió, a pesar del control de las Filipinas o de los primeros posicionamientos en el Pacífico, contrasta sin embargo con acciones puntuales, como la llevada a cabo en los territorios controlados por el Imperio otomano por Ali Bey el abbassi, o la apuesta por Irán de gobiernos liberales que cuajó solo con la Primera República española. La acción exterior con respecto a Asia desde España durante el siglo XIX fue conservar lo que se tenía, sin hacer prácticamente nada. Solo acciones puntuales contradicen esta tónica general, y aquí hablamos de dos muy significativas, aunque solo en parte conocidas.

Published: August 2022

Introduction: Coronary artery dissection and myocardial infarction happen rarely after BCT (3). In the following, a rare case of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) caused by the dissection of left anterior descending (LAD) artery following BCT due to suffering a blow in boxing is presented. Case presentation: A 22-year-old professional boxing athlete presented with chest pain and dyspnea from a week ago to our center. A week before the visit, the patient referred to the general hospital complaining from chest pain and nausea after suffering a blow during boxing. According to the ECG and normal cardiac troponin, the patient was discharged with diagnosis of Prinzmetal Angina (without coronary angiography). When referring our center, lead electrocardiogram (ECG) was done and showed ST segment elevation on V1-V4 leads and T inversion on aVL and I leads. According to wchocardiography, (LVEF) was calculated to be 45%. Angiography was performed due to the lack of definitive diagnosis and suspicion of coronary artery disease. Results of angiography showed coronary artery dissection on LAD. Finally, the patient was diagnosed with AMI due to LAD dissection and was subjected to angioplasty intervention Discussion: In our case, BCT resulted in LAD dissection after a less common cause of trauma. Not having a serious risk factor, the presence of atypical symptoms of the disease, as well as evidence of ST segment elevation without increasing the cardiac enzyme led to dilemma and delayed diagnosis, and the diagnosis of Prinzmetal angina was mistaken for the patient. So due to failure of improvement and further investigation, the diagnosis of AMI due to LAD dissection after BCT reached certainty

Published: August 2022

A pandemia da Covid-19 provocou mudanças em diversos setores, inclusive na educação. Professores do mundo todo, em um rápido período, tiveram que se reinventar e buscar estratégias de ensino remoto possíveis de aplicar dentro de cada realidade. Um dos desafios do curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo é o seu caráter prático, com disciplinas sempre voltadas para atividades de ateliê com assessoramentos e trabalhos em grupo. O ensino remoto se tornou um desafio para todo o curso, mas foi possível – dentro das limitações – encontrar caminhos para novas formas de ensino. Este artigo trata da experiência dos dois cursos de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Universidade Federal de Alagoas (UFAL). Nesse período, foram lecionadas quatro disciplinas de acústica: uma no mestrado e três na graduação. Ferramentas digitais, webquests, uso de estudos de caso, seminários com fabricantes e consultores em acústica foram algumas das estratégias utilizadas. Como resultado, foi percebido que – mesmo com o distanciamento social respeitado UFAL – o nível dos trabalhos foi de alta qualidade, mas que a falta interação foi a principal dificuldade encontrada. Com este artigo, espera-se contribuir para a discussão do ensino de acústica dentro do curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo de forma a superar as dificuldades impostas pelo período pandêmico.
Abordagem do ritmo circadiano no projeto de iluminação natural em edifícios de escritórios
Authors: Figueiredo Erika Ciconelli de
Published: August 2022

A relevância da luz natural extrapolou as questões de economia de energia ou iluminâncias requisitadas pelas normas, após o descobrimento da terceira classe de fotorreceptores: as células ganglionares intrinsecamente fotossensíveis (ipRGCs). Essas células são responsáveis pelas respostas não-visuais, reguladoras do ritmo circadiano, culminando, consequentemente, no desempenho fisiológico e comportamental dos indivíduos. Esta pesquisa se propôs a analisar um exemplar da tipologia recorrente de edifícios de escritórios em São Paulo, sob o ponto de vista do desempenho do ritmo circadiano dos usuários, com o objetivo de traçar diretrizes projetuais que visassem o aproveitamento da iluminação natural e o bem-estar dos seus ocupantes. O método empregou a ferramenta ALFA (Adaptive Lighting for Alertness) na tipologia selecionada, de modo a avaliar seu potencial em relação ao ritmo circadiano dos usuários. Os resultados indicaram a necessidade de avaliação da pertinência dos edifícios peles de vidro para a cidade de São Paulo, cujo parâmetro window-to-wall ratio excede o recomendado por pesquisadores da área, assim como estudos das fachadas a partir da geometria da insolação, como a análise do fator de visão de céu e proteções solares, além da escolha dos vidros seletivos. Para que os usuários dos edifícios de escritório possam se beneficiar da iluminação natural, e a estratégia se torne um recurso viável, é indispensável que os arquitetos projetem as envoltórias e os espaços internos de acordo com o alcance da luz natural, em quantidades que favoreçam o bem-estar, a produtividade e o comprometimento dos seus ocupantes, e evitem a ocorrência de ofuscamento.

Published: August 2022

Generally, the Temburong formation was observed for both research studies and hydrocarbon exploration. There was few research conducted on its lithostratigraphy and micropaleontological purposes in terms of research studies. However, there is no evidence suggested to observe the paleoenvironment condition of the formation based on the calcareous nannofossils occurrences. Therefore, this research was performed deliberately to identify paleoclimate prediction of Batu Luang, Klias Peninsular based on the assemblages of the calcareous nannofossils. 17 samples have been collected from a measuring section of a cutting hill along the road. Simple smear preparation was used and observed their assemblages were under the light microscope. As many as 27 species have been identified and dominantly preserved by discoasters and sphenolithus. Thus, this formation has been considered an oligotrophic condition and low latitude region due to the distribution of warm-water taxas. Plus, less contribution of cold-water taxa Coccolitus pelagicus to the formation is late Oligocene to early Miocene.

Published: August 2022

A study on genetic diversity analysis was conducted on Rusa timorensis obtained from state of Perak and state of Pahang to investigate the level of genetic diversity occur and to compare the diversity amongst two R. timorensis breeders in Malaysia. A total of six (n=6) individual samples of R. timorensis were extracted from Tanjung Malim, Perak and Bilut Agro Farm, Pahang and amplified using mitochondria deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) primers gene as a target molecular marker. The mtDNA region was amplified using a set of cytochrome b gene primers (5”AAACCAGAAAAGGAGAGCAAC3”;5”TCATCTAGGCATTTTCAGTGCC3”) and nucleotide sequence of the mtDNA cyt b was aligned by using MEGA Ver 7.0. The result indicated that the R. timorensis from Pahang has a low degree of variation (0.252) of genetic distance compared to, R. timorensis from Perak (0.696). The phylogenetic three analysis, indicated, R. timorensis from Pahang resulted the highest intra-specific relationship at 100% compared to , R. timorensis from Perak at 63% of intra-specific relationship. The results showed that the genetic diversity of, R. timorensis in Perak and Pahang is likely to decrease in the future. Therefore, future breeding program plan needs to be implemented to diversify the genetics of genus Rusa in Malaysia.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Wage Subsidy Assistance Program (Bantuan Subsidi Upah/BSU) distribution in 2021, which the Government has distributed since August 2021. In contrast to the distribution of BSU in the previous year, this program targets 8.8 million workers with the amount of assistance and criteria slightly different compared to the BSU in 2020. This evaluation becomes important to find out how the process of implementing BSU distribution will be in 2021 and to provide recommendations for improving BSU distribution policies and future policies related to the distribution of similar assistance. Data were obtained from various sources, both primary and secondary. Primary data collection was carried out in five regions, namely the provinces of Banten, West Java, Central Java, Yogyakarta, and East Java, with samples consisting of companies, Labor Offices, Labor Social Security Administering Body (BPJS TK), and Banking operators in the regions. The consideration of the research locus refers to the amount of data on BSU recipients, where Java is the region with the largest number of recipients by region. Secondary data is obtained from various scientific literature and government publication. The qualitative research method using interview guidelines as a data collection tool and root cause analysis matrices as an analytical tool was chosen to get a clear picture of the BSU distribution process in 2021. The findings concluded that the 2021 BSU distribution model was not as good as the 2020 BSU distribution model. There were three main problems within, namely 1) data validity, 2) information services, and 3) bank account opening (Burekol). The suggestions for this study are 1) to change the distribution model, which was originally through individual transfers, to be collective (through companies/institutions) and 2) if continue to use the previous model (Burekol), cooperation between field agencies (Disnaker, regional BPJS TK, and banking branch) is strengthened in an integrated system.

Espécies que ocupam regiões montanhosas têm respondido de forma única às dinâmicas climáticas, especialmente àquelas que surgiram no final do Quaternário. No entanto, não está claro como as condições climáticas do passado influenciaram na divergência genética de táxons montanhosos. A variação genética desses organismos poderia ter sido influenciada também por eventos tectônicos pré- pleistocênicos que formaram cordilheiras. O gene mitocondrial citocromo b foi sequenciado para analisar o papel da altitude na divergência de duas espécies sintópicas de marsupiais do gênero Marmosops, M. incanus e M. paulensis. Ambas apresentam padrões distintos de distribuição em gradientes de altitude da Floresta Atlântica. Grande divergência genética intraespecífica e grupos geograficamente estruturados foram encontrados. A diversificação observada das espécies é consistente com as características topográficas da Floresta Atlântica, e a altitude não parece interferir no bloqueio e limitação do fluxo gênico para M. incanus, embora clados relacionados com a alta altitude tenham sido identificados. Divergência alopátrica entre clados de M. paulensis foi observada para as regiões montanhosas, formações de montanhas durante o Neogeno coincidem com a formação de alguns filogrupos de M. incanus e M. paulensis, e o desempenho de refúgios do Pleistoceno não explica o padrão geral de distribuição da diversidade genética para as duas espécies.

Om gevolg te gee aan die oppergesag van die reg met betrekking tot omgewingswetgewing, wat noodsaaklik is om die talle wêreldwye omgewingskrisisse die hoof te bied, moet regerings nakoming monitor en handhawing verseker. Voor 1994 het Suid-Afrika dit nie gedoen nie. Plaaslike wetgewing het nie tred gehou met internasionale tendense nie, en selfs waar daar regulering was, het die regering om ’n aantal redes min belangstelling daarin getoon om afdwinging ernstig op te neem. Die huidige Suid-Afrikaanse regsraamwerk verteenwoordig dus ’n drastiese verandering van ’n historiese benadering tot omgewingsmonitering en –handhawing wat veel te wense oorgelaat het. Hierdie nuwe regsraamwerk bied ’n goeie basis vir die uitvoering van die nakomings- en handhawingsfunksies. Bekendmaking van inligting vorm ’n integrale deel van die nakomings- en handhawingstelsel. Dit is ’n waardevolle hulpmiddel, aangesien dit die potensiaal het om nie net die nakomings- en handhawingspogings van die regering meer doeltreffend te maak nie, maar ook om die onvermydelike beperkings op die regering se vermoëns te bekamp. Dit is veral belangrik in die konteks van omgewingsoortredings, aangesien inligting van besondere belang is in die konteks van omgewingsbestuur. In teenstelling met baie ander misdade kan omgewingsoortredings potensieel ’n negatiewe impak hê op ’n wye verskeidenheid mense, soos werknemers en gemeenskappe, ver verby die fabrieksheining. Bekendmakings wat inkriminerend is, kan egter potensieel teenstrydig wees met die grondwetlike regte van beskuldigdes, veral die reg teen self-inkriminasie. Met hierdie bydrae ontleed die outeur die dryfvere agter die hervormde benadering van die regering ten opsigte van die afdwinging van omgewingswetgewing. Die outeur ondersoek ook die rol wat die bekendmaking van inkriminerende of potensieel inkriminerende inligting kan speel in verbeterde en geoptimaliseerde handhawing van omgewingswetgewing ten opsigte van besoedeling asook afvalbestuur-verwante oortredings deur maatskappye. Sommige van die vrae wat ontstaan uit die wisselwerking tussen die omgewingsreg, die reg op inligting en die regte van beskuldigdes, word ook oorweeg en bespreek veral ten opsigte van die reg teen selfinkriminering. Suid Afrikaanse howe het tot dusver nog nie die geleentheid gehad om uitspraak te lewer op verskeie van hierdie vrae nie. Die artikel sluit af met die opmerking dat die benadering tot die bekendmaking van inligting waarde het, maar dat daar ook struikelblokke is wanneer omgewingsregte en strafprosesregtelike waarborge almal ter sprake is, wat die mate waartoe daarop staatgemaak kan word effens beperk. Daar word voorgestel om met die daarstelling van ’n administratiewe boetestelsel sommige van hierdie knelpunte aan te spreek.
Regspraak: Does a developer still play a role in the administration of a sectional title scheme after he or she has ceased to be the registered owner of land on which the scheme was developed? And is it correct that the voting percentage of the developer is suspended in calculating the voting percentage required for making a general meeting quorate?

In Die Royal Palm-saak nader die regspersoon die KwaZulu Natal hooggeregshof om ’n bevel van ’n beregter van die KwaZulu Natal Ombuddiens op ’n regsgrond ter syde te stel. Die kernvraag is hoe die hof die verskille betreffende die kworumvereiste in reël 57(2)(c) van Aanhangsel 8 van die Deeltitelregulasies van 1988 wat op die betrokke deeltitelskema van toepassing was, kon versoen met die teenstrydige bepaling in reël 19(2)(b) van Aanhangsel 1 van die Regulasies op die Bestuur van Deeltitelskemas van 2016. Die hof aanvaar die bevinding van die beregter dat die kworumvereiste van 20 persent van die waarde van die gesamentlike kwotas in die 1988-Regulasies vervang is deur die vereiste van een derde van sodanige waarde in die 2016-Regulasies omdat nuwe wetsbepalings vroeëre algemene wetsbepalings vervang. Die hof verskil egter van die bevinding van die beregter dat die voorbehoud in die 2016-Regulasies, naamlik dat die waarde van die kwotas van die ontwikkelaar nie in aanmerking geneem moet word by die berekening van die kwotavereiste nie. Die hof beslis dat die voorbehoud nie van toepassing was nie en dat die waarde van die kwotas van die ontwikkelaar wel by die berekening van die kworumvereiste in aanmerking geneem kan word en dat die bevinding van die beregter dus verkeerd is, en die vergadering aan die kworumvereiste voldoen en dus wel geldig is. Die regter redeneer dat omdat die woordomskrywing van “ontwikkelaar” in die Wet op die Bestuur van Deeltitelskemas verwys na iemand wat die geregistreerde eienaar van grond is, die uitdrukking “ontwikkelaar” nie betrekking het op iemand wat nie meer die geregistreerde eienaar van die ontwikkelde grond is nie omdat hy of sy nou ’n deeleienaar en ’n lid van die regspersoon is. Die wet bevat egter verskeie bepalings ingevolge waarvan die ontwikkelaar nog steeds as ontwikkelaar funksioneer gedurende die tydperk nadat die deelplan geregistreer en die deeltitelregister geopen is en die ontwikkelaar dus nie meer die geregistreerde eienaar van grond is nie. Hierdie bepalings betrek ook die onderhawige geval waar die ontwikkelaar se stempersentasie nie in aanmerking geneem word by die berekening van die kworumvereiste nie. Dit beteken nie dat die ontwikkelaar nie algemene vergaderings mag bywoon of aan besluite van die vergadering mag deelneem nie, as aan die kworumvereiste voldoen is nie. Ek kom dus tot die slotsom dat die hof fouteer het deur die bevinding van die beregter te verwerp en die vergadering wel ongeldig was omdat nie aan die kworumvereiste voldoen is nie. In die laaste gedeelte van die bespreking wend ek ’n poging aan om die gevolge van die beoogde besluit op die nietige algemene vergadering te ontrafel.
