Restriction of freedom of movement in the light of modern russian realities: legal regulation and practice of constitutional legal proceedings
Authors: Novopavlovskaya Elena
Published: October 2022

The article examines various aspects of freedom of movement, including freedom of movement within the Russian Federation and beyond its borders, the right of free and unhindered return to Russian territory of citizens of the Russian Federation. The relevance of the topic and the timeliness of this study are due to the fact that the freedom of movement of citizens provided for by international legal standards and proclaimed at the constitutional level in the legislation of recent years is increasingly limited. At the same time, restrictions on the freedom under study are established not only by laws, but also by-laws, including those of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The author comes to the conclusion that in most cases such a restriction is objective and is due to the realities of the COVID-19 pandemic and the conduct of a special military operation on the territory of Ukraine. Measures to ensure the implementation of the norms on restricting freedom of movement are the provisions of administrative and criminal legislation adjusted in 2020-2021, which have toughened liability for violations of restrictive measures. However, citizens and even individual representatives of state authorities do not always positively assess this kind of legislative reform, which gives rise to judicial practice, including appeals to the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, in which applicants challenge the constitutionality of certain legal provisions and raise the issue of removing them from the legal space. Analyzing the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of different years and the legal positions formulated in them, the author focuses on the subject of consideration of cases in the order of constitutional proceedings, the content of the contested legal provisions, the legal consequences of the decisions of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation.
Legal technique of the norms regulating the grounds for refusal to initiate a criminal procedure and the grounds for termination of a criminal procedure
Authors: Alekseeva Elena , Vinogradov Andrey
Published: October 2022

The article analyzes the criminal procedural problems associated with the legal regulation of the grounds for refusing to initiate a criminal case and the grounds for terminating a criminal case. The authors note that at present the legislator’s approach to their systematization, as well as the content of individual grounds, are the cause of a number of problems that arise in law enforcement. In this regard, the need to improve these criminal procedure institutions is stated. The purpose of the study is to identify the problems of legal regulation of the grounds for refusing to initiate a criminal case and the grounds for terminating a criminal case and suggesting possible ways to solve them. To achieve this goal, methods of analysis, synthesis, as well as formal-logical, formal-legal, comparative-legal research methods were used. In the work, based on legal and technical considerations, it is proposed to separate the grounds for refusing to initiate a criminal case and the grounds for its termination, fixing them in separate articles of the criminal procedure law. Arguments are also given in favor of distinguishing between such grounds as the absence of an event of a crime and the absence of corpus delicti in an act. Based on the analysis, the author proposes a list of grounds for both refusal to initiate a case and grounds for its termination. Conclusions are drawn that the proposals made will contribute to the improvement of the legal technique for presenting these grounds in the criminal procedure law and, as a result, to increase the efficiency of law enforcement activities aimed at implementing the non-punitive aspect of the appointment of criminal proceedings.
Moral foundations of privileges and immunities in criminal proceedings in Russia
Authors: Navaliev Navali
Published: October 2022

The article considers the principle of equality of all before the law and the court. The article analyzes the exceptions allowed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation and the Criminal Procedure Code of the Russian Federation from the principle of equality in the form of criminal procedural immunities. The immunities established by law are examined from the position of compliance with the moral foundations of the criminal process. Despite the fact that the measure of morality in the question of compliance with criminal procedural immunities granted to certain categories of persons is the interrelated principles of justice and equality. The concept of formal equality is studied from the position of the libertarian-legal theory of law, which allows us to conclude that inequality can be either fair or not. As a fair inequality, legal advantages are highlighted in the form of benefits provided by a person to increase the level of legal capacity sufficient for the realization of general legal personality. Unfair exceptions to the principle of equality are privileges granted to individuals or categories of persons. Criminal procedural immunity is examined from the point of view of ensuring equality of rights of the parties in criminal proceedings and is considered as a legal advantage over the prosecutor, due to the need to ensure the impartial activities of the subject possessing it. Based on the analysis of the essence of criminal procedural immunity, it is concluded that immunity is not a privilege, therefore, the legal advantages provided to them correspond to the moral foundations of the criminal process.
AN OVERVIEW ON AQUASOMES : A NOVEL APPROACH FOR DELIVERING MACROMOLECULES
Authors: Dhar Ankita , Sarkar Saurav , Das Soma
Published: October 2022

In recent blossoming era of research in nanobiotechnology, aquasomes are viewed as an effective and efficient carrier
system for drug delivery or biochemically active long chain macromolecules like protein and peptide, different
hormones, antigens, enzymes and gene delivery. Aquatones are spherical in shape and having particle size within 60-
300nm. Self-assembled structure of aquasome (due to its natural property) it generates a focus on nanobiotechnology
research as a carrier system. Mainly, aquasomes contain three-layers, that is core material, coating material, drug layer
attached by ionic or non-covalent bond. Aquasomes include mainly the core materials like , hydroxyapatite, solid phase
nanocrystalline ceramic diamond (carbon) and calcium phosphate dihydrate(brushite) . The coating of core material is
done with glassy polyhydroxyl oligomeric film such as cellobiose and trehalose, on which modification of biochemically
active molecules are attached. Whereas, calcium phosphate used as a core material, because of it is naturally present in
the body. Whether calcium phosphate is unstable in nature, due to prolong storage it converts into hydroxyapatite which
is a better core than calcium phosphate to develop the aquasomes. The solid core material renders stability of structures,
while the coating material stabilizes the biochemically active molecules and protects against dehydration. In this review,
we tried to an overview of aquasomes, and about its advantages over conventional drug delivery system, shielding effect
of aquasomes on desired drug and how its self-assembled structures, makes them an attractive carrier to deliver
biochemically active molecules.
L’equilibrio di potenza nella storiografia fiorentina
Authors: Cesa Marco
Published: October 2022

Although Francesco Guicciardini is usually credited with the idea of balance of power, other Florentine historians prior to him had had similar insights. The essay presents the evolution of the notion of balance of power in Florentine historiography from the 14th-century chronicles of Giovanni and Matteo Villani to Guicciardini himself. Florentine historians put forward two basic meanings of balance of power, first as aggregation of forces against the most powerful state, second as an arrangement of the international system as a whole. The former is based on the elementary idea that those who fear the strongest state create alliances with those who share similar concerns, and it amounts to an ad hoc security tool; the latter entails the awareness of the existence of a system of states, which gradually came up from the beginning of the 15th century onwards.
La guerra pensata: narrazioni, teoria, prassi
Authors: Bozzo Luciano
Published: October 2022

The study of war and strategy has been at the core of the theory of international relations since the birth of the academic discipline. Strategy is a key factor in any conflict, first of all in violent conflicts. Military strategy is the bridge between politics and war. Strategic studies have mainly focused on military doctrines and the means to wage war for too long a time. Limited attention was paid to the cultural dimension of violent confrontations. Then, in the second half of the XX century the Western attention to the technological dimension of war became almost obsessive. However, if war is the continuation of politics by other means we must be aware that the human factor is of utmost importance among those “means”. The willingness of soldiers to sacrifice their life on the battlefield is the precondition to wage war. At the same time, it is also the basis of any political obligation. Hence, death is the continuation of politics by other means. Various “narratives” of war have been created in history in order to justify the individual commitment to fight and eventually die in war to attain political aims. Starting in the classical age the Western world has been developing two related narratives of war: the republican model and the decisive battle one. According to the first one the good citizen was a good soldier too, and vice-versa, while the second required the concentration of violence in space and time to break the enemy’s will to fight in the shortest possible time. The two concepts gave both moral and military sense to the violent, insensate, and chaotic environment of the battle. After the end of the cold war in most Western countries such a way of thinking on the relationship between war and politics has been undermined by several factors, first of all the unwillingness to sacrifice one’s life in war. The readiness to die in order to attain a political aim has almost vanished. On the contrary, the concept of the “decisive battle” has survived thanks to technological evolution. As a consequence, on the one hand, old figures of warriors reappeared on the battlefield: soldiers of fortune, God’s fighters, pirates, and criminals. On the other, the unwillingness to die coupled to the strategic archetype of the decisive battle is bringing more and more machines and AI into war, making it both post-heroic and post-human.
Il coordinamento internazionale in risposta alla pandemia Covid-19
Authors: Fossati Fabio
Published: October 2022

Collaboration is an intense cooperation aimed at realizing common objectives; coordination wants to avoid adverse interests. There is anarchy when governments make unilateral decisions. In conflicts actors have incompatible scopes. The World Health Organization implemented some standards to help governments to manage the sanitary emergence. The communication network of health technicians has informally pushed governments to apply those standards. Eastern Asian states were faster in their reactions than Western countries. Coordination worked with the diffusion of informal norms and not of codified and binding regimes of international law. Sweden did not fully apply those standards, but without deep objections and with ad hoc exceptions. Taiwan’s standards were even more efficient than WHO.
Nemesi tecnologica, pace distopica: l’espropriazione della pace
Authors: Belli Carlo
Published: October 2022

Umberto Gori has often focused on the subject of peace, seen as the primary objective of Political Science, analysing the challenges that peacebuilding processes have to face in an international context undergoing profound change, and with aspects that could be described as dystopic. We will explore these dynamics by drawing inspiration from the way in which Ivan Illich dealt with the theme of the forced medicalisation of society, a theme that presents many points of contact with the intention of imposing a distorted version of the concept of peace, where a model of peaceful coexistence is proposed, which does not arise from the development of stable harmonious relations between mutually free and independent subjects, but from an absence of conflict produced by dehumanising forms of social conditioning.

Artificial intelligence in construction asset management: a review of present status, challenges and future opportunities
Authors: Rampini Luca , Cecconi Fulvio Re
Published: October 2022

The built environment is responsible for roughly 40% of global greenhouse emissions, making the sector a crucial factor for climate change and sustainability. Meanwhile, other sectors (like manufacturing) adopted Artificial Intelligence (AI) to solve complex, non-linear problems to reduce waste, inefficiency, and pollution. Therefore, many research efforts in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction community have recently tried introducing AI into building asset management (AM) processes. Since AM encompasses a broad set of disciplines, an overview of several AI applications, current research gaps, and trends is needed. In this context, this study conducted the first state-of-the-art research on AI for building asset management. A total of 578 papers were analyzed with bibliometric tools to identify prominent institutions, topics, and journals. The quantitative analysis helped determine the most researched areas of AM and which AI techniques are applied. The areas were furtherly investigated by reading in-depth the 83 most relevant studies selected by screening the articles’ abstracts identified in the bibliometric analysis. The results reveal many applications for Energy Management, Condition assessment, Risk management, and Project management areas. Finally, the literature review identified three main trends that can be a reference point for future studies made by practitioners or researchers: Digital Twin, Generative Adversarial Networks (with synthetic images) for data augmentation, and Deep Reinforcement Learning.

Dinámicas de desterritorialización y reterritorialización en Purmamarca, Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO: Quebrada de Humahuaca (Argentina)
Authors: Mancini Clara Elisa , Tommei Constanza Inés
Published: October 2022

En este trabajo se analizan los procesos de desterritorialización y reterritorialización en Purmamarca, Quebrada de Humahuaca, Jujuy, Argentina. Este pueblo se vio fuertemente transformado por el turismo después de que UNESCO declarara la Quebrada de Humahuaca como Patrimonio de la Humanidad en el 2003. Junto al crecimiento exponencial de la infraestructura turística, también se incrementaron los habitantes estables y bajaron la cantidad de metros cuadrados destinados a viviendas particulares. En este sentido, se propone aquí dar cuenta del proceso de precarización territorial que llevó a algunos purmamarqueños a organizarse y conformar comunidades originarias para acceder a tierras, vivienda y otros derechos. Para esta investigación, se recopiló información en archivos, y en  los principales medios periodísticos, se trabajó con imágenes satelitales, se realizó trabajo de campo donde se realizaron registros gráficos, fotográficos y entrevistas.
De la ciudad sostenible a la ciudad hub: obsolescencia y renovación de indicadores urbanos
Authors: Carrato-Gómez Alfredo , Roig-Segovia Eduardo
Published: October 2022

Dada su mayor inercia y complejidad organizativa, los núcleos urbanos resultan más vulnerables frente a fenómenos adversos de índole físico, social, económico y biológico. La ONU también aspira a que las regiones metropolitanas se erijan inclusivas, seguras y resilientes, además de sostenibles, antes de 2030. El presente artículo, en consecuencia, visibiliza la obsolescencia de indicadores que caracterizaron el desarrollo sostenible de las últimas décadas y ahonda en estrategias que mitigan riesgos e incertidumbre en la ciudad contemporánea. La activación de palancas como la tecnología digital, el conocimiento compartido, la circularidad sistémica y la gobernanza participativa pretende dar respuesta a la creciente agresividad y volatilidad de los agentes externos en las metrópolis del siglo XXI, proponiendo métodos transdisciplinares de crecimiento mensurable, equitativo e inteligente.
Immanuel Wallerstein und die Rezeption der Weltsystem-Analyse im deutschen Sprachraum. Einleitung zu einem multi- und interdisziplinären Themenheft
Authors: Kaps Klemens , Komlosy Andrea
Published: October 2022

Der unmittelbare Anstoß dieses Themenhefts war ein eminent biografisches Datum, das eine gleichermaßen reale wie symbolische intellektuelle Zäsur markiert: Mit dem Ableben Immanuel Wallersteins am 31. August 2019 endete das Leben eines engagierten Intellektuellen
und US-amerikanischen Soziologen, der untrennbar mit der Erforschung des globalen Kapitalismus verbunden ist. Das von Wallerstein in den 1970er Jahren entwickelte Konzept des Kapitalistischen Weltsystems prägte Generationen von ForscherInnen über den Globus hinweg in so verschiedenen
Disziplinen wie Soziologie – Wallersteins eigentlichem Feld – Ökonomie, Geschichtswissenschaft, Geografie und Anthropologie, um nur die wichtigsten zu nennen. Wallersteins Tod verstärkte die in den vergangenen Jahren bereits erkennbare Tendenz, sich mit seinem Werk auch
meta-wissenschaftlich und wissenschaftshistorisch auseinanderzusetzen. Denn bis zuletzt hatte Wallerstein an seinem Lebenswerk, der 1974 begonnenen historischen Analyse des globalen Kapitalismus, gearbeitet bzw. eine Fertigstellung des umfangreichen Werks angestrebt,1 für das
er selbst mit seiner Weltsystem-Analyse den theoretisch-methodischen Rahmen geschaffen hatte.2 Ursprünglich auf vier Bände angelegt, kann die Geschichte des kapitalistischen Weltsystems mit Wallersteins Tod als unvollendet gelten: Zwar erschien der vierte Band nach einer
langen und schöpferischen Pause im Jahr 2011, allerdings wich dessen chronologische Reichweite nicht nur stark vom ursprünglichen Konzept ab. Vielmehr kündigte Wallerstein selbst in jenem Buch eine Ausweitung des Projekts auf sechs Bände an – die der Autor nicht mehr
vorlegen konnte.3 Wallerstein legte jedoch parallel zum Opus Magnum kürzere Texte vor, in denen er das historische Narrativ knapper und pointierter zusammenfasste und dabei seine Analyse bis an die unmittelbare Gegenwart heranführte.4
Adaptierungen Wallersteins im deutschen Sprachraum
Authors: Nolte Hans-Heinrich
Published: October 2022

Die Organisatoren des Workshops1 haben mich eingeladen, über Adaptierungen Wallersteins zu sprechen. Von mir aus hätte ich lieber über Weltsystem-Studien im deutschen Sprachraum geredet. Die akademischen Freunde, mit denen ich Wallerstein gelesen habe –
ich nenne nur Helmut Bley, Michael Vester und Ingolf Ahlers2 – waren ausgewiesene und verbeamtete Sozialwissenschaftler und hatten vielfältig publiziert; es ging uns nicht um eine Adaptierung an deutsche Bedingungen, sondern um die Frage, ob Wallersteins Konzept unsere
intellektuellen Zugriffe auf die historisch-politischen Realitäten erweitern würde. Wir fanden (und finden), dass das der Fall war (und ist).
Das Weltsystem-Konzept und Zeit-Räume in der hochmittelalterlichen Interaktionsökumene aus nordeurasischer Perspektive
Authors: Adamczyk Dariusz
Published: October 2022

Zeit und Raum gehören zu den zentralen Kategorien der Geschichtsschreibung schlechthin.1 Im weltsystemischen Universum von Immanuel Wallerstein nehmen sie die Gestalt der axialen Arbeitsteilung, die sich wiederum im Zentrum-Peripherie-Schema widerspiegelt, sowie der
konjunkturellen Rhythmen an. Jeglichen Raumstrukturen entsprechen zugleich bestimmte Zeitformen. In Anlehnung an Fernand Braudel unterschied der amerikanische Soziologe zwischen vier solchen Zeit-Raum-Konstrukten: einem episodischen, einem zyklischen, einem strukturellen sowie der Zeit der
ewigen Grundwahrheiten.2 Diese verschiedenen Konstellationen lassen sich entlang der sog. historischen Systeme beobachten, die in drei Konfigurationen auftreten:
Rezeption des Weltsystem-Modells aus der Perspektive der Wirtschaftswissenschaften
Authors: Raffer Kunibert
Published: October 2022

Über die Rezeption des wirtschaftlich bedeutenden Ansatzes Immanuel Wallersteins in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften des deutschen Sprachraums zu schreiben, grenzt an Kriminalarbeit. Zwar wäre die Pauschalaussage, er wäre überhaupt nicht rezipiert worden, nachweislich
falsch, dennoch hat er in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften im engsten Sinn – also der Nationalökonomie oder Volkswirtschaft – fast keine Spuren hinterlassen. Die herrschende, neoklassische Ökonomie hatte kein Interesse an einer Auseinandersetzung mit seinen Ideen, wohl nicht
nur weil sie zu wenig Mathematik enthalten, sondern weil sie grundlegenden Annahmen, auf denen die herrschende, neoklassische Ökonomie aufbaut, konträr widersprechen und diese falsifizieren. In solchen Fällen wurde Verdrängen und Verschweigen bisher recht erfolgreich als
Gegenmittel – von Gegenargument kann da ja nicht gesprochen werden – angewandt. So mag es nicht verwundern, dass das volkswirtschaftliche Hauptwerk, das Wallerstein im deutschen Sprachraum rezipierte – eine Habilitation an der Universität Wien – nicht auf Deutsch,
sondern auf Englisch geschrieben und publiziert wurde.1
An Optimization Study on Material Selection for FRPCs in Multi Layered Armour System Through Hybrid MCDM Approach and Numerical Simulation
Authors: Gowda Darshan , Bhat Ravishankar , Rajole Sangamesh Sangamesh
Published: October 2022

Fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPCs) are considered as core structure in Multi layered armour systems (MAS) to take advantage of maximum energy absorption, mobility and cost criteria design. In this article, based on the problem defining attribute�s optimal material selection in FRPCs determined by Multiple criteria decisions making (MCDM) approach for considered alternative materials from polymer resin, synthetic and natural fiber. Attribute�s weightage and alternatives priority rank were determined through Fussy-Analytical hierarchy process (F-AHP) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. Obtained rank was compared with Preference selection index (PSI) an another MCDM method, for better computational conformity. Selected materials from MCDM approach, simulated for energy absorption ability and damage after impact were studied by considering Cowper-Symonds constitutive materials model using 3D macro shell analysis. Various impact velocities were considered from 3 to 50 m/s for rigid steel impactor directed towards the deformable plate. Parameter like Residual kinetic energy, Residual velocity, Energy absorption ratio after impact were studied numerically. Simulation results in terms of specific energy absorption were compared with the rank obtained in MCDM approach. Among the polymers considered epoxy, polyurethane and polyester found better choice. In fibers hemp and basalt found better materials choice for heterogenous FRPCs design in ballistic armour.

Irrelevant speech impairs serial recall of verbal but not spatial items in children and adults
Authors: Leist Larissa , Lachmann Thomas , Schlittmeier Sabine J. , Georgi Markus , Klatte Maria
Published: October 2022

Immediate serial recall of visually presented items is reliably impaired by task-irrelevant speech that the participants are instructed to ignore (“irrelevant speech effect,” ISE). The ISE is stronger with changing speech tokens (words or syllables) when compared to repetitions of single tokens (“changing-state effect,” CSE). These phenomena have been attributed to sound-induced diversions of attention away from the focal task (attention capture account), or to specific interference of obligatory, involuntary sound processing with either the integrity of phonological traces in a phonological short-term store (phonological loop account), or the efficiency of a domain-general rehearsal process employed for serial order retention (changing-state account). Aiming to further explore the role of attention, phonological coding, and serial order retention in the ISE, we analyzed the effects of steady-state and changing-state speech on serial order reconstruction of visually presented verbal and spatial items in children (n = 81) and adults (n = 80). In the verbal task, both age groups performed worse with changing-state speech (sequences of different syllables) when compared with steady-state speech (one syllable repeated) and silence. Children were more impaired than adults by both speech sounds. In the spatial task, no disruptive effect of irrelevant speech was found in either group. These results indicate that irrelevant speech evokes similarity-based interference, and thus pose difficulties for the attention-capture and the changing-state account of the ISE.
Kidney Health for All - Study on the Role of Setting up a Digital Library that Works without the Internet- Can it Bridge the Digital Divide?
Authors: Ravichandran Palani , Kaiser Evamaria B , d Sales June
Published: October 2022

Background: Health literacy is importantly recognized to combat the increasing incidence of kidney disease in the community and kidney health for all campaigns. Various kinds of digital platforms and tools are used to bridge the gap in health literacy to improve kidney health. Fifty percent of the world population is devoid of internet connection or poor connectivity. Digital library plays a vital role in digital literacy and this present study is done to see if sever specially designed can work without the internet with digital library software. Methods: A specially designed server that can connect with a digital device along with a regular internet-based server was loaded with digital library software. Devices with regular browsers were to access the server with the web address juxtaguide.com. Users included the admin who had full control over the device and other users were divided into teachers group I N = 25 for online and group II, N = 20 for offline study, and they were allowed to upload various format digital files for their students to access. Students in the study group were n = 250 online and n = 80 in an offline group. They were assessed if they can access the digital material, search and also participate in chat functions with their teachers. Links were shared through social media for online mode. Results: Teachers in both offline and online mode were able to access the server register and upload files in all formats like mp3, mp4, PDF, documents, links, blogs, and images, using digital device including laptops or mobile phones. Students were able to communicate in the offline mode similar to the online mode with various digital devices. The offline server was portable and could run on a backup inverter power source and could run continuously with a hot spot range of 50 meters. The upload and download speed for the oﬄine version was not affected whereas in the online mode, when in 2G the internet was of low speed, bigger files were not downloadable. The maintenance cost of the oﬄine server was minimal compared to the online server. Discussion: For the first time in the world, a server was converted to function in the oﬄine mode, having the ability to synchronize with an online server that holds the same digital library software. All criteria of a digital library were full filled. In the offline mode, the device was also successful in two- way communication which no one could achieve to date. Conclusion: DigiNet as a digital library device fulfills all requirements to be a cost-effective device for oﬄine literacy development. It also gives new hope to surpass not only the health literacy barrier but also opens huge potential for its use in future research and education. Further research is to be conducted with regards to the extension of its range up to 12 km.

The aim of this report is to summarize the applicability of nanocomposites against clinically significant pathogen Salmonella entherica serotype holeraesius. The antibacterial effect of single SiO2, RGO nanoparticles and combination of Ag decorated RGO, SiO2, RGO and ZnTiO3 were examined. ZnTiO3 nanoparticles were prepared using nonhydrolitic sol-gel method. The various nanoparticles combinations were evaluated, dispersed in type I fibrillary collagen gel with concentration of 2.64 w% in different ratios with nanoparticles. The liophylization process was used to prepare nanocomposite material. Several nanocomposites as Coll: RGO, Coll: Ag/RGO, Ag/ SiO2/RGO, ZnTiO3/ SiO2/RGO, Coll: ZnTiO3 were tested on S. enterica. The formed sterile zones around the disc samples (diameter of 9.0 mm; thickness of 3 mm) were measured in mm (± 0.5). Some of the tested materials have shown antibacterial activity on S. enterica but the other have no effect. The research team relies on an innovative combination of qualities of different nanoparticles which aims synergy and high antibacterial activity with potential application in medical practice.

One in four adults in the US suffer from cartilage degeneration of the Intervertebral Disc (DDD) or load bearing joints (DJD). Since cartilage is avascular, it has a limited regenerative capacity. Conventional non-surgical treatments provide brief symptomatic relief, have sided effects, and do not address the cartilage defect itself. As such, new alternatives are needed. Perinatal birth tissue allografts are a novel frontier for bio-mechanical cartilage engineering research. The tissues of interest include umbilical cord-derived Wharton’s Jelly (WJ). This study assessed WJ tissue samples via ZEISS Supra 55VP FieldEmission Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) at 100 and 300 nm resolution scales. The captured images of pre and post-processed structural tissue matrices in WJ allografts were analyzed against themselves and peer-reviewed SEM images of articular cartilage, intervertebral disc cartilage, and muscle fascia. SEM images of post-processed WJ structural tissue matrices were found to be comparable to structural tissue matrices in human articular cartilage, intervertebral disc cartilage, and muscle fascia on a qualitative and quantitative level. This is the first study that we are aware of, to demonstrate that structural collagen matrices in post-processed WJ allografts are analogous in structure to the cartilage in articular joints, intervertebral discs, and muscle fascia.
Incidental Evidences Suggest that High CO2 Concentrations Could Inhibit Cancer
Authors: Sabater Bartolome
Published: October 2022

At low (400), but not at high (> 930), ppm CO2 the entropy produced per glucose mole is lower in fermentation than in respiration. Then, applied to the proliferation of the fermentative cancer cells within vertebrate body, the Prigogine theorem of the trend to minimize the rate of entropy production would predict that cancer must growth faster than normal tissues at low but not at high CO2 concentrations. Accordingly, re-examination of epidemiologic data shows link between low cancer incidence or death and jobs or habits likely exposed to high CO2 concentrations. Further experiments should confirm the suggested inhibition of cancer by CO2.
US Pandemic vs. Politics
Authors: Simil Liviu Popa
Published: October 2022

USA is in disarray, embedded in a strange recession, where GDP is decreasing, while workforce is growing, at least after government calculations, with lots of omissions included. Visibly US is in decay due to internal factors mainly, accelerated by wrong political actions, with deep disrespect to common sense, that triggers the action of external factors. Inflation is not entirely due to inappropriate response to pandemic, but is rooted in economy’s dysfunctions, and external politics based on provoking external wars for the business of the “very few” who owns both parties sake. COVID did not disappeared, is here, thriving, and takes a hard toll on US citizens, but was covered by other issues that captures the minds of a poorly educated population, trapped in information bubble. Nor democrat or republican leadership, explained clearly the role of masks in fighting pandemic, and masks become now an object of fashion and political statements, being inappropriately worn. Due to this lack of understanding of how aerosolized nano-matter in form of viruses and bacteria propagates, the risk of having new pandemics over the winter is high. Viruses as SAR-CoV-2 continue to mutate and spread, and competes with new health threats as monkey pox, where 40% of US population suffer from a combination of Diabetes, Alzheimer’s, Stroke, Heart Disease, Cancer, Chronic Kidney Disease and Chronic Lung Disease, aggravated by opioids, alcoholism stimulated by new recession, that will increase poorness and its consequences. It is important that government and its agencies to correct their attitude toward the real threats and to place health and safety of population above politics.
The Role of Smart-Flap of Sternocleidomastoid Muscle in Cervical Spine Surgery: A Proposal of a New Surgical Technique

Published: October 2022

In cervical spine surgery there are known risk of complications such as esophageal fistula and dural tear. Usually the gold standard in treatment is represented by surgery. The sternocleidomastoid flap is the most common used in the revision procedure. In this paper we propose a modified surgical technique of harvesting the SCM flap and we suggest its use as prevention in selected cases.

Background. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) has been intensively studied and proved to be useful in Neonatology. The first condition studied in correlation with increased ALP values was osteopenia of prematurity. In recent years there was an increase interested in correlations between ALP and bilirubin levels. In this article, we want to review the literature to find other benefits of ALP dosing in neonatal patients. Methods. Clinical trials were searched and analyzed by a single individual (via dedicated search engines such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Scopus). We have included clinical studies from the last 7 years that present statistically significant results regarding the role of ALP dosing in the screening or diagnosis of other neonatal pathologies (jaundice with hyperbilirubinemia, necrotizing enterocolitis, liver dysfunction, renal failure and oncological diseases). Results. After excluding the clinical trials that did not meet the eligibility criteria, 6 clinical trials remained (n = 859). Following the analysis of these studies, correlations were highlighted between high ALP values in the umbilical cord and the need for phototherapy. It was also shown that all newborns with elevated ALP values required treatment for hyperbilirubinemia, as well as being a good predictor of severe jaundice and helping to predict its onset. Also, evidence about the correlation between high values of ALP and prematurity osteopenia was reaffirmed in recent studies. Conclusions. ALP is an easily dosed biomarker that can be successfully used in Neonatology. The existing studies to date encourage the use of ALP as a biomarker especially for the detection of osteopenia of prematurity and for the early detection of newborns who will develop intense forms of jaundice. There are still differences regarding the serum ALP values considered as cut-offs for the diagnosis of various neonatal conditions, but performing multicenter studies on a large number of cases could establish a valid consensus in order to use the same ALP cut-off values in all Neonatology departments.
