Authors: Amir Sohail , Urrehman Riaz , Ayub Shahid , Numan Muhammad Ali
Published: January 2022

Objective: The objective of this study was to analyze the main source of bleeding and operative findings in an extradural hematoma (EDH).

Material and Methods: A descriptive study was conducted at the Neurosurgery Department of Hayatabad Medical Complex Peshawar from March 2017 to April 2020.The study included 550 patients that met the criteria of inclusion well. Demographic profile, location of Extra-Dural hematoma, the source of bleeding, presence or absence of skull fracture and per operative findings were documented in structured proforma.

Results: 69% were male and 31% were female patients. The middle age group of 21 – 40 years mostly affected. Rupture or laceration of middle meningeal artery was the communal source of bleeding in 355 (64.5%) patients, followed by fracture bone in 285 (51.8%) of patients and dural venous sinus in 70 (12.7%) of patients. Preoperative findings in our study were linear skull fracture in 250 (45.4.0%), underlying contusion in 165 (30%), and contralateral hematoma in 70 (12.7%) of cases.

Conclusion: Rupture or laceration of a Middle meningeal artery (MMA) was the most communal source of bleeding in extradural hematoma. Therefore, per-operative cauterization of this vessel is important to prevent the chances of re-bleed and re-do surgeries.

Published: January 2022

Objective:  To assess olfactory dysfunction in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients in Pakistan utilizing an autochthonous smell test.

Setting:  Tertiary care center, single-center study.

Materials and Methods:  Eighty-seven non-demented patients with PD, who fulfilled Queen Square Brain Bank Criteria were enrolled at the Movement Disorder Clinic, Lahore General Hospital (LGH), Lahore. Fifty-eight controls matched by gender, age, and place of residence were enrolled among patients and visitors attending other hospital clinics. Both groups underwent olfactory testing using the Pakistani Smell Identification test (PKSIT). The participants were required to identify the smell from a set of choices and were scored out of 10.

Results:  Among patients in the study group, the mean duration of disease was 4.7 years (range 6 months to 19 years). The PD onset mean age was 52.15 ± 13.02 years among patients. The mean number of smell test items accurately recognized by the PD patients was 4.55 ± 2.4. A multiple linear regression demonstrated that age (P < 0.05) but not disease duration (P = 0.899) was a significant determinant of the smell test result in PD and control groups. The mean number of smell test items appropriately recognized by the controls was 7.33 ± 1.69. Logistic regression showed that the PKSIT had 73.2% sensitivity and 84.3% specificity to distinguish PD from control.

Conclusion:  PKSIT being easily available, cheap, and more convenient to use in the Pakistani population, can be used in the evaluation of olfactory dysfunction in PD subjects.
Enterprise Without Entities
Authors: Verstein Andrew
Published: January 2022

Scholars and practicing lawyers alike consider legal entities to be essential. Who can imagine running a large business without using a business organization, such as a corporation or partnership? This Article challenges conventional wisdom by showing that vast enterprises—with millions of customers paying trillions of dollars—often operate without any meaningful use of entities.

This Article introduces the reciprocal exchange, a type of insurance company that operates without any meaningful use of a legal entity. Instead of obtaining insurance from a common nexus of contract, customers directly insure one another through a dense web of bilateral agreements. While often overlooked or conflated with mutual insurance companies, reciprocal exchanges include some of America’s largest and best-known insurance enterprises.

This Article explores how it is possible to run an international conglomerate with essentially no recourse to organizational law as it is normally conceived, and it then draws out the important implications of these findings. The viability of reciprocal exchanges stands as a powerful foil to the academic consensus that legal entities are somehow essential, while nevertheless validating the underlying logic that led scholars to elevate entities in the first place.
Rationing Criminal Justice
Authors: Bierschbach Richard , Bibas Stephanos
Published: January 2022

Of the many diagnoses of American criminal justice’s ills, few focus on externalities. Yet American criminal justice systematically overpunishes in large part because few mechanisms exist to force consideration of the full social costs of criminal justice interventions. Actors often lack good information or incentives to minimize the harms they impose. Part of the problem is structural: criminal justice is fragmented vertically among governments, horizontally among agencies, and individually among self-interested actors. Part is a matter of focus: doctrinally and pragmatically, actors overwhelmingly view each case as an isolated, short-term transaction to the exclusion of broader, long-term, and aggregate effects. Treating punishment like other public-law problems of regulation suggests various regulatory tools as potential solutions, such as cost-benefit analysis, devolution, pricing, and caps. As these tools highlight, scarcity often works not as a bug but as a design feature. Criminal justice’s distinctive intangible values, politics, distributional concerns, and localism complicate the picture. But more direct engagement with how best to ration criminal justice could help to end the correctional free lunch at the all-you-can-eat buffet and put the bloated American carceral state on the diet it needs.
Grasping for Energy Democracy
Authors: Welton Shelley
Published: January 2022

Until recently, energy law has attracted relatively little citizen participation. Instead, Americans have preferred to leave matters of energy governance to expert bureaucrats. But the imperative to respond to climate change presents energy regulators with difficult choices over what our future energy sources should be, and how quickly we should transition to them—choices that are outside traditional regulatory expertise. For example, there are currently robust nationwide debates over what role new nuclear power plants and hydraulically fractured natural gas should play in our energy mix, and over how to maintain affordable energy for all while rewarding those who choose to put solar panels on their roofs. These questions are far less technical and more value laden than most of the questions energy bureaucrats faced in the past. Consequently, these issues have provoked a growing call for the “democratization” of energy law, so that the field might better inject Americans’ preferences and goals into decisions over energy policy.

But exactly how the democratization of energy law might proceed remains unclear. Indeed, the concept of “energy democracy” has taken on significantly different—and frequently conflicting—meanings in debates over energy law reform. This Article argues that the lack of clarity over the meaning of energy democracy presents a troubling hurdle to the burgeoning project of democratizing energy law, as different conceptions of the term demand divergent legal reforms. To make this case, it first identifies three distinct conceptions of energy democracy in discussions of energy law reform: consumer choice, local control, and access to process. It then explains how each of these visions counsels for a different set of regulatory reforms, which instantiate distinct processes for channeling citizen preferences about the future of our energy system. As regulators choose among these visions, it is imperative that they understand the stakes of embracing any particular conception of “energy democracy.” This Article advances that endeavor by tying the rhetoric of energy democracy to concrete proposals for reform, and evaluating what each portends for the “democratization” of energy law. It concludes with a note of caution about too swiftly embracing “consumer choice” or “local control,” since each risks narrowing modes of participation in ways that may diminish from a robust conversation about the grid-wide changes needed in U.S. energy supply.

Heat capacity is the most important characteristic of substances, and from its change with temperature one can determine the type of phase transformation, Debye temperature, energy of vacancy formation, coefficient of electronic heat capacity and other properties. In this work, the heat capacity of the АЖ5К10 aluminum alloy was determined in the "cooling" mode, according to the known heat capacity of a reference sample made of M00 copper. To do that, the equations describing their cooling rates were obtained by processing the cooling curves of the samples from the alloys of the АЖ5К10-Ga system and the standard. Further, according to the experimentally found values of the cooling rates of the samples from the alloys and the standard, knowing their masses, the polynomials of the temperature dependence of the heat capacity of the alloys were established, which are described by a four-term equation. Using integrals of specific heat capacity, the temperature dependence of changes in enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy was calculated. The obtained dependences show that with an increase in temperature, the heat capacity, heat transfer coefficient, enthalpy and entropy of alloys increase, while the values of the Gibbs energy decrease. In that case, the addition of gallium reduces the heat capacity, enthalpy, and entropy of the АЖ5К10 alloy, while the value of the Gibbs energy increases

The types of falsification that we identified are the same as those of foreign researchers. In our research, the leading place is occupied by meat food products, including semi-finished products containing poultry meat. To identify counterfeit poultry meat products, complex methods were used to determine the type of protein, fat, muscle fiber structure, freshness and severity of morphological signs of raw meat. So, according to research results, falsification, in many cases, included the replacement of more expensive meat of a slaughter animal with poultry, which was not reflected on the product label. Another variant of falsification was the replacement of meat with less valuable raw materials of the same type of animals. To determine this type of falsification, only the PCR method is not enough, and for a more accurate and detailed determination of the constituent components of the product, it is necessary to additionally use histological, enzyme immunoassay, chromatographic, and spectrophotometric methods.

Pemilihan lakuan komunikasi berkait rapat dengan pemikiran, nilai dan kepercayaan dalam sesuatu masyarakat. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan strategi penolakan ajakan yang digunakan oleh penutur asli bahasa Melayu (MNS) dan penutur asli bahasa Jepun (JNS) terhadap dua situasi yang berlainan, iaitu “membeli-belah” dan “mengadakan parti”. Kaedah pengutipan data yang diterapkan dalam kajian ini ialah kaedah lakonan terbuka menerusi perkhidmatan rangkaian sosial dengan melibatkan 20 orang informan bagi setiap kumpulan MNS dan JNS. Kajian ini membuat perbandingan terhadap kekerapan penggunaan formula semantik dalam kedua-dua konteks bahasa ibunda mahupun konteks antara budaya. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahawa MNS lebih menitikberatkan “kesantunan positif”, manakala JNS lebih mementingkan “kesantunan negatif” bagi kedua-dua situasi dalam konteks bahasa ibunda apabila “niat penolakan” dikemukakan. Sementara itu, bagi penolakan untuk “mengadakan parti” dalam konteks bahasa ibunda, MNS menunjukkan “minat” secara tidak langsung dengan kerap menggunakan “kata seru positif”, manakala JNS menunjukkan “minat” secara lebih eksplisit dengan kerap menyatakan {reaksi positif} dan {kesedihan}. Bagi konteks antara budaya pula, pendekatan MNS telah berubah untuk menitikberatkan “kesantunan negatif” serta menunjukkan “minat” secara terus terang mengikut norma dalam bahasa sasaran. Kajian ini telah menonjolkan pengaruh “situasi” serta daya keterbukaan dalam kalangan MNS yang mengelakkan konflik.

Authors: Chiang Wong Shaw
Published: January 2022

The participation of external stakeholders in pedagogical activities in higher education has increased in recent years, and this is because such involvement can potentially improve student learning outcomes. However, the strategies and processes have yet to be adequately explored and documented, especially in the context of the Malaysian university. This paper presents a case regarding how the external stakeholders were involved in the design and implementation of an experiential learning project for an elective module in Diploma programmes of Raffles University, Malaysia based on a pedagogical model. This model consists of three major phases: (1.) initiation and design; (2.) execution; and (3.) evaluation and review. The roles of external stakeholders and the responsibilities of lecturers in each phase were discussed. In addition, students’ learning experiences and their reflections on the experiences were also described along with the discussion. This paper concludes that the developed pedagogical model may serve as an effective means to engage with external stakeholders in planning and delivering meaningful lessons for authentic learning at university level.
