Validation of a risk screening tool for pediatric type 1 diabetes patients: a predictor of increased acute health care utilization
Authors: Glick Bethany A. , Hong K. Ming Chan , Buckingham Don , Moore-Clingenpeel Melissa , Salvator Ann , Kamboj Manmohan K.
Published: September 2019

Background

Both psychosocial and socioeconomic risk factors contribute to poor glycemic control (GC). Previous research has identified that diabetes care behaviors are generally ‘set’ by late childhood, further highlighting the importance of psychosocial screening and intervention in the early course of disease management. The purpose of the current study was to determine whether this brief risk assessment tool is associated with GC and acute health care (HC) utilization, and to evaluate the discriminatory utility of the tool for predicting poor outcomes.

Methods

This was a retrospective cohort design in which we compared risk assessment scores with health outcomes at 6, 12, and 18 months after new-onset type 1 diabetes diagnosis for 158 patients between 2015 and 2017. The two primary outcome variables were GC and acute HC utilization.

Results

Our data demonstrate that the greatest utility of the tool is for predicting increased acute HC utilization. It was most useful in differentiating between patients with vs. without any acute HC utilization, with excellent discriminatory ability (area under the receiver operator characteristic curve [AUC] = 0.93), sensitivity (90%), and specificity (97%).

Conclusions

Knowledge of the risk category in addition to identification of individual risk factors within each domain allows for not only clear treatment pathways but also individualized interventions. The risk assessment tool was less effective at differentiating patients with poor GC; however, the tool did have high specificity (83%) for predicting poor GC at 18 months which suggests that the tool may also be useful for predicting patients at risk for poor GC.
Die Zeit der Einbildungskraft - Die Rolle des Schematismus in Kants Erkenntnistheorie
Authors: Schäfer Rainer
Published: September 2019

In this paper, I focus on Kant’s doctrine of figurative synthesis. Figurative synthesis is the result of the activity of productive transcendental imagination. This is the chief problem of the so-called “second proof step” in Kant’s deduction of the categories according to the second edition of the Critique of Pure Reason. The pure original synthetic apperception forms in the inner and outer sense - i. e. in time and space - by self-affection structures of order that make it possible to cognize empirical objects. The order of space and time through figurative syntheses (formal intuitions) must be distinguished on the one hand from space and time as forms of intuition and on the other hand from the order of the manifold given in space and time (intuition of particular contents). This clarifies the differences and relations between the constitutive noetic faculties of our knowledge apparatus.
Kant On Temporal Extension: Embodied, Indexical Idealism
Authors: Wyller Truls
Published: September 2019

I defend what I take to be a genuinely Kantian view on temporal extension: time is not an object but a human horizon of concrete particulars. As such, time depends on the existence of embodied human subjects. It does not, however, depend on those subjects determined as spatial objects. Starting with a realist notion of “apperception” as applied to indexical space (1), I proceed with the need for external criteria of temporal duration (2). In accordance with Kant’s Second Analogy of Experience, these criteria are found in concepts and laws of motion and change (3). I then see what follows from this for a reasonable notion of transcendental idealism (4). Finally, in support of my Kantian conclusions, I argue for the transcendentally subjective nature of particular temporal extension (5).

Published: September 2019

Previous studies conducted with the humanoid robot Kaspar in the UK have yielded many encouraging results. This paper examines the influence of conducting play sessions with Kaspar on the social and communication skills of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and suggests possible ways for using the robot as a (therapeutic) tool in a Greek school for children with special needs. Over a period of 10 weeks 7 children took part in a total of 111 individual play sessions with the Kaspar robot. Each child participated in between 12 and 18 sessions with the robot. The results from this study indicate that the play sessions with Kaspar appear to have positively influenced the behaviours of some of the children in specific domains such as communication and interaction, prompted speech, unprompted imitation and focus/attention. Furthermore, the children’s teachers expressed positive views regarding the impact of the play sessions on the children and offered interesting suggestions about the ways in which the robot could potentially be used in everyday teaching tasks and were eager to obtain a Kaspar for their classroom activities.
Surface damage characterization of photodegraded low-density polyethylene by means of friction measurements
Authors: Igarashi Toshio , Ohno Soichiro , Oda Sayaka , Hirosawa Satoru , Hiejima Yusuke , Nitta Koh-hei
Published: September 2019

Friction measurements have been carried out to characterize surface damages during photodegradation of low-density polyethylene. The average and mean deviation of the friction coefficients increase with the irradiation time in the early stage of photodegradation processes, indicating the increase in the surface roughness, whereas the mechanical properties remain essentially unchanged. In the following stage, where the ductile-brittle transition takes place, the mean deviation of the friction coefficients shows an appreciable decrease with maintaining almost constant average values, suggesting that the surface becomes more homogeneous. Beyond the ductile-brittle transition, both of the average and mean deviation of the friction coefficients gradually increase with the irradiation time, indicating further enhancement of surface roughness, followed by formation of surface cracks. The soundness of the friction measurements is confirmed by comparing with optical measurements of the surface roughness, and it is suggested that the present method gives a convenient and sensitive method of detection for degradation in polymeric materials.
A data-driven computational semiotics: The semantic vector space of Magritte’s artworks
Authors: Chartier Jean-François , Pulizzotto Davide , Chartrand Louis , Meunier Jean-Guy
Published: September 2019

The rise of big digital data is changing the framework within which linguists, sociologists, anthropologists, and other researchers are working. Semiotics is not spared by this paradigm shift. A data-driven computational semiotics is the study with an intensive use of computational methods of patterns in human-created contents related to semiotic phenomena. One of the most promising frameworks in this research program is the Semantic Vector Space (SVS) models and their methods. The objective of this article is to contribute to the exploration of the SVS for a computational semiotics by showing what types of semiotic analysis can be accomplished within this framework. The study is applied to a unique body of digitized artworks. We conducted three short experiments in which we explore three types of semiotic analysis: paradigmatic analysis, componential analysis, and topic modelling analysis. The results reported show that the SVS constitutes a powerful framework within which various types of semiotic analysis can be carried out.
Big Data and Trust in Public Policy Automation
Authors: Waggoner Philip D. , Kennedy Ryan , Le Hayden , Shiran Myriam
Published: September 2019

Big data is everywhere, both in and out of public policy. Though a rich data source, what is the impact of big data beyond the research community? We suggest such that invoking big data-related terms acts as a heuristic for assumed algorithmic quality. Such an assumption leads to greater trust in automation in public policy decision-making. We test this “big-data-effect” expectation using four tests including a conjoint experiment embedded in a recently fielded survey experiment. We find strong evidence that indeed, big data-related terms act as powerful signals of assumed quality where respondents consistently prefer algorithms with bigger data behind them, absent any mention of predictive accuracy or definitions of key terms (e.g. “training features”). As we expect this big-data-effect is likely not beholden to public policy, we encourage more research in this vein to deepen an understanding of the influence of big data on modern society.

Published: September 2019

This paper focuses on the application of novelty detection in combination with supervised fault classification for industrial condition monitoring. Its goal is to provide a guideline for engineers on how to apply novelty detection for outlier detection, monitoring of supervised classification and detection of unknown faults without the need of a data scientist. All guidelines are demonstrated by means of a publicly available condition monitoring dataset. In each application case the results achieved with different common novelty detection algorithms are compared, advantages and disadvantages of the respective algorithms are shown. To increase applicability of the suggested approach visualization of results is emphasized and all algorithms have been included in a publicly available data analysis software toolbox with graphical user interface.
The Effect of the Circumferential Position of Duct Hole on the Non-uniformity in the Axial Compressor
Authors: Gong Yun , Chen Shaowen , Wang Songtao
Published: September 2019

The bleeding air flow increases so as to meet the demand of higher efficiency and better performance of compressor, and the issues brought by the bleeding system is of great interest for more and more researchers. In the opened literature, most of the works were performed through single-passage calculations. However, the non-uniformity caused by the bleeding system lead to an undesirable effect on the compressor, thus the multi-passage calculations should taken into consideration. In the present study, the annulus cascade and bleeding system were numerical studied on ANSYS CFX to investigate the effect of the circumferential position of the bleeding duct holes on the non-uniformity in the compressor and to make it clear that how the non-uniformity is formed. Finally, it is found that the unequal air bleeding mass flow rate in different passages result in the non-uniformity in the compressor. The non-uniformity in circumferential position could be alleviated when the duct hole moving toward the suction surface, however, when the duct hole moving toward the pressure surface, the flow separation would be suppressed in more blade passages.
Degeneration of Injured Axons and Dendrites Requires Restraint of a Protective JNK Signaling Pathway by the Transmembrane Protein Raw
Authors: Hao Yan , Waller Thomas J. , Nye Derek M. , Li Jiaxing , Zhang Yanxiao , Hume Richard I. , Rolls Melissa M. , Collins Catherine A.
Published: September 2019

The degeneration of injured axons involves a self-destruction pathway whose components and mechanism are not fully understood. Here, we report a new regulator of axonal resilience. The transmembrane protein Raw is cell autonomously required for the degeneration of injured axons, dendrites, and synapses inDrosophila melanogaster. In both male and femalerawhypomorphic mutant or knock-down larvae, the degeneration of injured axons, dendrites, and synapses from motoneurons and sensory neurons is strongly inhibited. This protection is insensitive to reduction in the levels of the NAD+synthesis enzyme Nmnat (nicotinamide mononucleotide adenylyl transferase), but requires the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and the transcription factors Fos and Jun (AP-1). Although these factors were previously known to function in axonal injury signaling and regeneration, Raw's function can be genetically separated from other axonal injury responses: Raw does not modulate JNK-dependent axonal injury signaling and regenerative responses, but instead restrains a protective pathway that inhibits the degeneration of axons, dendrites, and synapses. Although protection inrawmutants requires JNK, Fos, and Jun, JNK also promotes axonal degeneration. These findings suggest the existence of multiple independent pathways that share modulation by JNK, Fos, and Jun that influence how axons respond to stress and injury.

SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTAxonal degeneration is a major feature of neuropathies and nerve injuries and occurs via a cell autonomous self-destruction pathway whose mechanism is poorly understood. This study reports the identification of a new regulator of axonal degeneration: the transmembrane protein Raw. Raw regulates a cell autonomous nuclear signaling pathway whose yet unknown downstream effectors protect injured axons, dendrites, and synapses from degenerating. These findings imply that the susceptibility of axons to degeneration is strongly regulated in neurons. Future understanding of the cellular pathway regulated by Raw, which engages the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase and Fos and Jun transcription factors, may suggest new strategies to increase the resiliency of axons in debilitating neuropathies.

Alejandro Landes's Monos and the Once and Future Colombian War Film
Authors: Betancourt Manuel
Published: September 2019

The guerrillero towers over the history of Colombian cinema for their glaring absence. Despite the country's decades-long civil war, the rank-and-file members of the armed militias that have dominated the local cultural imaginary in daily newscasts about massacres, kidnappings, and rural confrontations have been mostly absent from the canon of Colombian film. Using Alejandro Landes's 2019 film, Monos, as his case study, Manuel Betancourt offers a cursory history of the guerrilla film in the Latin American country (and the attendant conversation it's sparked within Colombia's own film critic community), arguing that a new wave of Colombian filmmakers are marrying nonfiction and novelistic techniques to finally grapple with a figure that's long been a punchline at best and a nebulous ‘Other’ at worst.

She devotes the first part of her report to an anthropological description of the Darwinian “biosphere” that is Cannes, a psychosocial experiment where status is measured in the type and color of your festival badge. After calling attention to the particular hypocrisies of the Cannes subculture, according to which the social injustices rendered on-screen are far more compelling than those encountered outside the screening room, Salti turns her attention to the cinematic highlights of the festival. Observing that it was an exceptional year for African and Arab cinema, Salti the prevalence of themes relating to zombies, ghosts, and possession in films from these regions, including Mati Diop's Grand Prix winner, Atlantique.
Global and Gendered Perspectives on the Production of a Parisian Alms Purse, c. 13401
Authors: Farmer Sharon
Published: September 2019

Drawing on recent technical analyses of an exquisite embroidered French alms purse that now resides at the Musée des Tissus et Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Lyon, this article argues that the purse, which was probably embroidered in Paris in the early 1340s, represents the culmination of the efforts of dozens of men and women on three different continents. Some of the women who worked in the fields where the flax was grown were simple day laborers, but many of the other men and women—both rural peasants and urban artisans—possessed specific technical knowledge and manual skills that could take years to perfect. Indeed, it took a global village of many talented individuals to create a fourteenth-century luxury alms purse from Paris. The article also explores the ecological impact of the extraction and processing of some of the raw materials that were employed in the purse.
Edge of Insanity
Authors: Fellezs Kevin
Published: September 2019

In this essay, I mean to re-examine the notion of virtuosity, which has been characterized as a Romantic reaction to bourgeois rationalism that mobilizes virtuoso musical technique in the service of critiquing bourgeois understandings of art. Furthermore, most critics accuse virtuosos of providing vulgar spectacle in place of sober execution linked to questionable ethics. Pace those assessments, I mean to argue that virtuosity represents, at least in the hands of a black American guitarist such as MacAlpine, a liberatory strategy, that despite being rooted in Romantic notions of autonomous art, challenges a critical stance which views black artistry as merely expressive. I argue that MacAlpine does not simply seek the discursive legitimacy that performing classical music (or in a “classical” style) can give a heavy metal musician but, as a black American guitarist, uses the kind of virtuosity that is linked to the European concert tradition as a means for transcending the stereotypes of black musicians as intuitive talents who draw on reserves of emotional excess, rather than as thoughtful musicians whose abilities have been trained and crafted by diligent study and practice.
So You’ve Been Musically Shamed
Authors: Cheng William
Published: September 2019

In July 2014, an anonymous source leaked the raw audio of Britney Spears’s confessional ballad “Alien.” Haters pounced on this star’s denuded voice, gleefully seizing on the viral artifact as a smoking gun for Spears’s deficits and for the pop industry’s artistic fakeries more broadly. My paper situates this flashpoint of Spears-shaming within late-capitalist archives of public humiliation, cyberleaks, and the paternalistic scrutiny of women’s bodies and voices.
Quantitative Sentiment Analysis of Lyrics in Popular Music
Authors: Napier Kathleen , Shamir Lior
Published: September 2019

Popular music has been changing significantly over the years, revealing clear, audible differences when compared with songs written in other eras. A pop music composition is normally made of two parts—the tune and the lyrics. Here we use a digital humanities and data science approach to examine how lyrics changed between the 1950’s and the more recent years, and apply quantitative analysis to measure these changes. To identify possible differences, we analyzed the sentiments expressed in the songs of the Billboard Hot 100, which reflects the preferences of popular music listeners and fans in each year. Automatic sentiment analysis of 6,150 Billboard 100 songs covering all the years from 1951 through 2016 shows clear and statistically significant changes in sentiments expressed through the lyrics of popular music, generally towards a more negative tone. The results show that anger, disgust, fear, sadness, and conscientiousness have increased significantly, while joy, confidence, and openness expressed in pop song lyrics have declined.
Salsa’s Unruly Audition
Authors: Neyra Ren Ellis
Published: September 2019

This essay shows how salsa stimulates unruly audition. It responds to that stimulation by performing multi-sensorial poetic listening with the excessive, tender, and queer audio-visual sabores [tastes], gestures, and details of two live performances by the musicians and singers contracted to Fania in the 1970s, one in Yankee Stadium in the Bronx in 1973 and the other in 1974 at Zaire ‘74 in Kinshasa, a music festival of Afro-Latinx, brown, and black sonic solidarity headlining the Ali-Foreman Rumble in the Jungle fight. A riot of audience ended the All-Stars’ set at the 1973 Bronx concert. Their insurgent pleasure compels us to think unruliness with salsa’s listeners, and re-imagine Latinx as a riotous movement of brown and black swerving aesthetic convergences. The essay enacts a deviant and sonically oriented close reading of Héctor Lavoe’s vocals in the song “Mi Gente” [My People], in part, for their attunement precisely to audience and playful dynamics with the band. In this song, Lavoe cries out to “anormales” [abnormals], a sign re-imagined here as an off-kilter feeling for salsa and a multi-sensorial opening for more errant ruptures.
The “Manic Pixie Dream Girl of the Synth-Pop World” and Her “Baby Doll Lisp”
Authors: Holmes Jessica A.
Published: September 2019

Audible in speech and song, electro-pop singer Grimes’s so-called “baby doll” lisp generates endless buzz online, ranging from light-hearted adoration, to infantilization, to sexual fetish and even to ableist, misogynist anti-fandom. This article uses the reception of her lisp to build an intersectional theory of lisping across its medical and socio-cultural constructions, bridging work in disability studies, dysfluency studies, voice studies, and popular music studies in the process. I situate the slippage between adoring, infantilizing, fetishistic, and violent characterizations of Grimes’s lisp as reflective of the infantilization of “communicative disorders” in speech language pathology, and the dysfunction associated with feminine coded-speech patterns (e.g. vocal fry and up talk) in the popular imaginary. Lisping is profitably understood as an audible form of “liminal” difference relative to visible physical disabilities (St. Pierre), and to certain ableist, gendered, and racialized conceptions of normative vocality. Ultimately, in the English-speaking world, the lisp is symbolically-coded feminine while exceeding the norms of female vocality, thereby giving rise to a polarizing set of associations that work against female authority and, by extension in Grimes’s case, female musical authorship. Grimes’s reception thus offers a valuable case study for interrogating how misogynist fantasies regarding femininity are thought localized in the female voice, and the symbolic ties between disability and femininity.
Rhythm and Bluebeat
Authors: Lorre Sean
Published: September 2019

Retrospectively referred to as blue beat, “Jamaican rhythm and blues” (JA-R&B) was one of many R&B styles performed and consumed in the UK during the early 1960s. Despite the genre’s importance to African-Caribbean migrant communities, urban subcultures, and, eventually, mainstream British popular music, JA-R&B is often relegated to a side note in the histories of Jamaican ska/reggae and British blues. This essay recuperates the production, emulation, consumption and mediation of JA-R&B into a broader narrative of the British R&B boom, a phenomenon often understood as a precursor to the British Invasion and the (re)birth of rock music as a major force in Anglo-American popular culture. As this essay details, JA-R&B was the product of a complex web of cultural interaction animated by a confluence of black Americans, Jamaicans of various ethnicities (living at home and abroad), and white Britons. The routes by which JA-R&B moved from the relative shadows of the underground Jamaican-settler social scene into the clubs of Soho, to London’s recording studios, and eventually onto the pop charts through British-made recordings are traced here through analysis of contemporaneous discourse found in The West Indian Gazette, Disc, Melody Maker, New Record Mirror, and New Musical Express. I conclude that JA-R&B’s eventual “novelty” status, coupled with apparent anxieties about the growing West Indian immigrant population in Britain, elided the possibility that JA-R&B could be valued on the same terms and by the same standards as “authentic,” American-originated R&B.

Published: September 2019

A creative work created by its creator based on his sense and intention which is supported by his creativity will become an intellectual work with a high economic value. Such creators are like book and song writers who have an ability and idea to produce a work that can be enjoyed by everyone. Based on the principle of justice, it is understood that to produce such work is not an easy task because it requires sacrifice. Therefore, the creator is entitled to economic benefits for his work. An intellectual work having a very high economic value is supposed to get adequate legal protection supported by a sense of justice as the reward of the creator’s intellectual products. In addition to physical copyrighted work products, there are also digital products on which the creator owns a copyright. There are examples of digital products which follow the development of technology such as song files, e-books, software, etc. One of the problems that exists in the community is that the digital product becomes easier to be pirated or illegally downloaded through the internet. How is copyright protection in digital products as the embodiment of the creator's creative works. Copyright protection against creators and copyright holders pursuant to Act No. 28 of 2014 on Copyright. Article 1 number 1 and Article 24 paragraph (1) and (2). The creator or copyright holder has rights to be protected by the government, namely economic rights and moral rights. The existence of economic rights and moral rights is then someone's creative work will have its own values, so it is not easy to use his property for commercial purposes by the parties who are not responsible.

Legal Protection of the Right to Indication of Origin in Indonesia
Authors: Masnun Muhammad Ali
Published: September 2019

The purpose of this study is to analyze the form of legal protection rights for indications of origin in Indonesia based on Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications (Trademark and GI Law). Legal protection rights for indications of origin are inseparable from consideration of the economic value inherent in a property. Indications of origin are different from geographical indications, indications of origin are signs that indicate the origin of goods or services that are not identical to natural (geographical) factors. This research is a normative juridical using primary legal materials and secondary legal materials, as well as using prescriptive analysis methods.The results of the study show that legal protection can be provided in the form of preventive and repressive legal protection, however, the legal protection regulation of rights for indications of origin in Indonesia are still relatively very low. Protection of rights for indications of the origin arises with a declarative system that cannot be separated from the rights to the trademark. The right to the trademark is a prerequisite for being able to declare the right to an indication of origin. The period of protection of rights for indications of the following ten years of protection of trademark and can be extended again. Transfer of rights to indications of origin is impossible to do because it is attached to the rights to the trademark and is different from the non-transferability as a geographical indication. Violation of rights for indications of origin can be in the form of use of indications of origin by non-registered users of trademark has been registered with indication of origin. The firmness of the government to provide legal protection in the form of statutory rights for indications of origin is an absolute necessity. The government must be present to provide a regulation as a consequence of the legal state, which means that in carrying out all tasks and activities, it must be based on applicable law.
Indonesian Political Economic Policy and Economic Rights: An Analysis of Human Rights in the International Economic Law
Authors: Arifin Ridwan
Published: September 2019

The national and international economic development raises new problems besides the positive side of finance. International economic recession that has global impacts including in Indonesia presents its own challenges. One of the challenges faced is a serious impact on the fulfillment of economic and social rights. Various economic austerity measures were taken to maintain the country’s economic stability. One of the most controversial is the reduction of subsidies in the health, social security, trade and education sectors. The unemployment rate also increased as a direct impact of these economic policies. This paper analyzes the rights of human rights in Indonesian political economic policy both on a national and international scale. This paper compares and analyzes various cases of Indonesian economic policy with the basic principles of human rights, especially social, economic and cultural rights. Studies in this paper cover the areas of study of International Economic and Trade Law, Human Rights Law, and International Law. This paper highlighted that economic policies in the form of reducing subsidies and austerity measures undermine a wide range of human rights human rights frameworks.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganailisis bagaimana bentuk-bentuk perlindungan hukum yang diberikan kepada penyandang disabilitas dan bagaimana pelaksanaan hak-hak penyandang disabilitas tersebut dikaitkan dengan budaya Bali. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian normatif dengan pendekatan peraturan perundang-undangan (statue approach) dan pendekatan konsep. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa perlindungan hukum dan pemenuhan hak penyandang disabilitas yang diatur melalui Perda Provinsi Bali Nomor 9 Tahun 2015 telah memuat hak-hak penyandang disabilitas yang cukup komprehensif, serta juga memuat kewajiban dari Pemerintah Daerah dalam melakukan pemenuhan hak penyandang disabilitas. Namun, demikian dalam hak keberagamaan penyandang disabilitas, memilik potensi untuk tidak dapat diterapkan karena cenderung tidak sejalan dengan adat dan budaya Bali yang sudah turun-temurun.Empirically, people with disabilities often get discriminatory treatment in social life which results in neglect of the fulfillment of the rights of persons with disabilities, although juridically, as in Bali, there are already regional legal products that provide protection for the rights of persons with disabilities. This study aims to analyze how forms of legal protection given to people with disabilities and how the implementation of the rights of persons with disabilities is associated with Balinese culture. This study uses normative research methods with the approach of legislation (statue approach) and conceptual approach. The results of this study indicate that legal protection and the fulfillment of the rights of persons with disabilities regulated through the Bali Provincial Regulation Number 9 of 2015 has contained the rights of persons with disabilities that are quite comprehensive, as well as the obligations of the Regional Government in fulfilling the rights of persons with disabilities. However, as in the rights of religious persons with disabilities, they have the potential not to be applied because they tend to be inconsistent with Balinese customs and culture that has been passed down through generations.

Right from the ancient times, the relationship between law and justice constantly appears to be one of the most stimulating as well as penetrating controversial ideas. The paper will discuss the fundamental concept of law and justice by assessing the ideas of a few justice thinkers, some key theories of law and justice, and some cardinal indicators of law and justice with a practical example from Nigeria. The study adopted qualitative research which comprises doctrinal and non-doctrinal methods. The research draws information from primary and secondary sources. The information obtained was subjected to content analysis. The paper found that justice is an inherent component of the law and not separate or distinct from it. The paper also found that the idea of justice has been trapped by political ideologies, religions, cultural intolerance, poverty, deprivation, gender discrimination, violation of human rights and inequality in Nigeria. In quintessence, the paper concludes that law is justice. The paper recommends that the courts should lean on the side of justice in any case of conflict between law and justice for effective administration of justice.

This paper focuses on the sovereignty of the state and its influence on the implementation of ASEAN cooperation mechanisms in combating terrorism.State sovereignty tends to obstruct the counter-terrorism effort. The difficulty of gaining consensus has temporarily encouraged member countries to enable bilateral or trilateral framework options, which are less productive of regional insight development efforts. The consensus mechanism causes in any degree the handling of terrorism issues in ASEAN will only be possible if the parties agree. This is what then makes the implementation of the agreement in ASEAN to be slow and even not run.

Objective

To screen for CLCN2 mutations in apparently sporadic cases of aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs).

Description

Recently, CLCN2, encoding for the voltage-gated chloride channel protein 2 (ClC-2), was identified to be mutated in familial hyperaldosteronism II (FH II). So far, somatic mutations in CLCN2 have not been reported in sporadic cases of APAs. We screened 80 apparently sporadic APAs for mutations in CLCN2. One somatic mutation was identified at p.Gly24Asp in CLCN2. The male patient had a small adenoma in size but high aldosterone levels preoperatively. Postoperatively, the patient had normal aldosterone levels and was clinically cured.

Conclusion

In this study, we identified a CLCN2 mutation in a sporadic APA comprising about 1% of all APAs investigated. This mutation was complementary to mutations in other susceptibility genes for sporadic APAs and may thus be a driving mutation in APA formation.
