The Resilience of Law: A Measure to Tackle the Ineffectiveness of Law
Authors: Neira-Pinedaº Juan Camilo
Published: June 2024

This article proposes a new idea about the so-called “resilience of laws,” designed to protect the effectiveness of laws against any change, whether social, legal, political, economic, or otherwise. Laws may initially be effective but become ineffective afterwards, to the detriment of society, given the shock produced by those changes. As a result, the article imposes new expectations on legislators and judges, who should provide society with both effective and resilient laws. The resilience of laws comprises two features: i) static resilience, i.e., the ability of the law to resist the shock caused by a previous change, and ii) dynamic resilience, i.e., the capacity to recover the effectiveness of law once it has been shocked and to prevent a future scenario of ineffectiveness. The article explains how legislators and judges must consider previous challenging changes and shocks to prevent ineffectiveness in the future; this is aimed at having resistant laws against changes.

The role of BRICS metropolises in the management of Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
Authors: Franz Nádia Mara , Silva Christian Luiz da
Published: June 2024

Urban population forecasts project a rise of over two billion inhabitants in cities in three decades, accounting for over two-thirds of consumption and half of waste generation on the planet with Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) being the flow with the highest growth rate. It is estimated that by 2030, WEEE volumes will reach 74 Mt. The BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) countries will be responsible for a significant share of this consumption and waste in globally prominent metropolises. The aim of this study is to describe WEEE management policies in BRICS metropolises, identifying the actors involved, in order to support the structuring of policies and actions for the sustainable management of this waste. The methodology employs a qualitative approach through case studies: São Paulo, Moscow, Delhi, Beijing, and Johannesburg. The results demonstrate the relevant role that these metropolises play in the sustainable and inclusive management of WEEE, articulating in synergy with the actors to implement policies and related circular actions, aligned with national legislation and appropriate for their territories.
Healthcare and Hospital Promotions and Audience Reception
Authors: Kumar Sudhir , Hooda Sonia
Published: June 2024

Indian healthcare system is believe to be one of the best in Asia. India has been emerging as a healthcare destination for many people living in other countries. Enhanced medical tourism in any country is generally a testimony to the quality of healthcare (Ayoubian & Hashemi, 2013). This increase in India’s reputation pertaining to healthcare and hospitals has led to increase in the number of private hospitals. With these bloating figures, hospital advertising and PR has assumed heightened significance. This era of new economic realities has witnessed mushrooming of private hospitals along with PPP model in the healthcare sector in India. The growth 2000 onwards in-fact surpassed the previous growths manifolds (Kumar, 2015). The number grew consistently and thus increased the competition leading to corporatization of the Hospital Industry (Kumar, 2015). The hospital services were promoted like any other product or service which led to gradual criticism from all corners. The ethical dilemma related to whether hospital services should be treated as any other product started surfacing amongst the people. These moral and ethical dilemma are not just prevalent in India but are global (Bogianzidis, 2017).This article focusses on the prevalent PR and advertising practices that are often criticized and seldom praised (Gaitho, 2007). Public Relations and advertising in general are considered to be manipulative in nature (Mukherjee & Nathawat-Aibas, 2017).

ATMOSFERİK PARTİKÜL MADDE: METAL VE PAH’LARIN METEOROLOJİK FAKTÖRLER VE TAŞINIM IŞIĞINDA DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: Tayanç Mete , Flores Rosa M.
Published: June 2024

"Although they represent a small fraction of the mass of the atmosphere, particles in the atmosphere have significant effects on health, biogeochemistry and climate. Because of these effects, atmospheric particulate matter has been a subject of research for many years. Heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury in the content of atmospheric particles or accumulated on them; acidic agents such as sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric acid; polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) such as arochlors, arubrene, aldehydes such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde; There may be persistent organic pollutants such as dioxin and furan, and toxic carcinogenic and endocrine disrupting chemicals such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) such as anthracene, chrysene, benzo(a) pyrene (BaP). After the realization of the potential of fine fraction particles to cause serious health effects in recent years, studies on fine particles have become increasingly important. In this article, the speciation of atmospheric particulate matter in the form of metal and organic carbon is examined in the light of meteorological factors and transport. It has been shown by dynamic transport processes that dust transported from the Sahara occasionally causes high particulate matter levels in our region. In a study conducted in a traffic-heavy area such as Beşiktaş, 16 PAH species in the particle phase were examined. The findings showed that PAHs were predominantly found in PM2.5 rather than PM10, and daily average values of BaP, the most toxic of these PAH types, frequently exceeded the recommended annual average limit value of 1 ng/m3."

Published: June 2024

Amaç Literatürde camilerin minber, mihrap ve kapı ölçülerini kapsayan pek çok çalışma bulunmaktadır. Ancak camilerdeki donatıların boyutlarının ergonomik veya antropometrik uygunluğu incelenmemiştir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada camilerdeki donatıların insanlarla antropometrik uyumu araştırılmıştır.
Yöntemler Araştırma Artvin’de bulunan 10 adet tarihi cami üzerinde yapılmıştır. Karadeniz Kültür Envanteri rehberindeki Artvin camileri incelenmiş, minber ve kapı gibi donatı elemanları orijinal ve ahşap olan beş cami belirlenmiş ve yazarlar tarafından kapı ve minberi bu kriterlere uyan beş cami daha eklenmiştir. Mihrap (3 ölçü), minber (16 ölçü) ve kapıdan (10 ölçü) alınan ölçüler ile literatürdeki Türk insanı antropometrik verileri karşılaştırılmış ve her cami için antropometrik değerlendirmeler ve öneriler sunulmuştur. Çalışma kapsamındaki camilerin mihrap, minber ve kapı ölçüleri oranları benzer çalışmalardaki mevcut oranlarla karşılaştırılmış, benzer çalışmalarda bulunmayan oranlar ise bu çalışmalardaki ölçümlerden elde edilerek karşılaştırmalar buna göre yapılmıştır. Cami donatılarından alınan tüm ölçüler antropometrik uygunluk açısından değerlendirmelerde kullanılmasa da veri tabanı olarak literatüre katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
Bulgular Çalışma sonucunda, incelenen camilerdeki kapı kolu yüksekliklerinin ortalamasının 105,5 cm olduğu ve literatürdeki çalışma yüksekliği ölçümlerine uygun olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Çalışma kapsamındaki camilerin İremit Camii ve Düzköy Camii dışında giriş yüksekliklerinin antropometrik açıdan uygun olduğu belirlenmiştir. Minber merdivenlerinin eğimi, literatürdeki konut merdivenleriyle karşılaştırıldığında en dik konut eğiminden daha düşük hesaplanmıştır.
Sonuçlar Bu çalışma, alanında öncü bir çalışma olduğundan diğer bölgelerdeki cami donatılarının da benzer şekilde belirlenerek ergonomik açıdan karşılaştırma yapılması ve değerlendirilmesi önerilmektedir.

ՀՀ վաստակավոր նկարիչ, քանդակագործ Խաչատուր Իսկանդարյանը «Պարողներ» քանդակաշարում ներկայացրել է հասարակ մարդկանց՝ նրանց առօրյայից վերցնելով իր քանդակի նյութն ու շունչը: Բիրմացի, հնդիկ, չինացի, ինչպես նաեւ հայ պարողների կերպարներում առկա է թատերայնություն: «Պարողներ» շարքի սյուժեն պարզ է, սակայն Իսկանդարյանին համակած զգացմունքի խորությունը մեզ իրավունք է տալիս խոսելու նաեւ առկայծող խնդության, պատանեկության ու հույզի մասին։ Կերպարները ենթարկված են իրենց պարի շարժումներին։ Պարողների ճկունությունը, նազելիությունը գրավում է, դյութում, համակում տոնական տրամադրությամբ։ Քանդակագործը կարողացել է ստույգ գտնել պարողների ձեռքերի եւ մարմինների շարժումները։ Ու թեեւ պարողները երիտասարդ են եւ կենսախինդ, բայց նրանց մեջ էլ զգում ես այն անհանգստությունը, պատասխանատվությունը, որը բնորոշ է ելույթի, համերգի մասնակիցներին:
Хачатур Искандарян изображал обычных людей, черпая сюжеты и образы своих произведений из повседневной жизни. Для этих композиций характерна однофигурность. Бирманские, индийские, китайские, а также армянские танцоры обладают чувством театральности. Скульптор смог точно найти движения рук и тел танцоров. Работы скульптора отличаются экспрессией, естественностью движений, композиционно-пространственным свободным расположением. Они являются своеобразными пластическими историями, в которых представлены характерные для людей позы, экспрессивные движения. Выполненные с использованием различных приемов пластики, скульптуры не только обладают особым очарованием, но и заключают в себе этнографическую информацию. Х. Искандарян занимает достойное место в ряду скульпторов, занимащихся армянской миниатюрной пластикой. Его творческое наследие является неотъемлемой частью армянского искусства.
The sculpture of Khachatur Iskandatyan created characters of ordinary people, tak- ing the scenarios and the spirit of his sculptures from everyday life. These compositions are characterized as single-figures. Burmese, Indian, Chinese as well as Armenian dancers have a sense of theatricality. The sculptor was able to accurately find the movements of the hands and bodies of the dancers. The works with their content are available for the viewer, are remarkable with sensuality, naturalness of movements, composite-space free layout. They are specific plastic stories, in which the described typical positions of people, expressive features and speaking, expressive movements are full of live naturalness. These works attract by their emotion, and with all the depth of content. Executed with use of different techniques of plasticity, these works not only have a deep charm, but also encompass ethnographic information. Iskandaryan takes his place of honor among a number of sculptors who are engaged in Armenian miniature plastic arts. His inheritance is an integral part of Armenian art.

Investigation of Mobilized Colistin Resistance Gene-1 in Poultry Pathogenic Escherichia coli
Authors: Yilmaz Ecenur , Türkyılmaz Süheyla
Published: June 2024

This study aimed to determine the presence of mobilized colistin resistance gene 1 (mcr-1), which provides plasmid-mediated colistin resistance in avian pathogenic Escherichia coli (APEC) isolates, and to examine the antibiotic resistance profiles of colistin resistant isolates. In this research, 200 broiler liver samples suspected of colibacillosis were utilized as the material. Following the isolation of E. coli through classical conventional methods, identification and antibiotic susceptibility tests were conducted using an automated microbiology system (BD Phoenix 100TM, USA). The presence of the mcr-1 gene in isolates phenotypically determined as colistin resistant was investigated using polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Out of 156 (78%) E. coli isolates obtained from 200 broiler liver samples, 10 (6.4%) were phenotypically determined to be colistin resistant. It was found that 80% of colistin resistant E. coli isolates were resistant to levofloxacin, 70% to cefazolin and cefuroxime, 60% to ceftazidime, 50% to gentamicin and ceftriaxone, 40% to cefepime, 30% to ceftolozane-tazobactam, and 20% to piperacillin-tazobactam. All isolates were sensitive to amikacin, ertapenem, imipenem, meropenem, and resistant to ampicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanate, ampicillin-sulbactam, trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, and tigecycline, exhibiting multidrug resistance (MDR). All isolates that were found to be phenotypically resistant to colistin were found to carry the mcr-1 gene. These findings indicate that the mcr in APEC contributes to the rapid spread of plasmid-mediated resistance genes and the escalation of broad-spectrum antibiotic resistance. The detection of resistance to antibiotics used in human medicine may be poses a potential threat to public health. Future studies should be conducted with samples from different regions and include a diverse sample group to better understand this risk.

Objective: The goal of present study is to recognize acceptable excipients to increase performance and stability of oral solid formulations of rosuvastatin calcium by estimating compatibility study of rosuvastatin calcium and used excipients. Methods: Analytical instruments like fourier transform infrared spectroscopy Spectrum RX 1, [differential scanning calorimetry-Q20, TA], Bruker Advance Neo 500MHz NMR spectrometer, thin layer chromatography] were utilized. Excipients and rosuvastatin calcium were got from Loba chemie and Biocon, respectively. USP1-type dissolution apparatus, and Auto Dock VINA 1.2.0 software were applied. Results: Numerous analytical methods established that rosuvastatin calcium was compatible with used excipients. Docking score was found -2.1, and minimal interactions were demonstrated by complexes of rosuvastatin calcium with microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and lactose. Further, an immediate release of rosuvastatin calcium tablet was studied using a combination of various excipients. Tablets of rosuvastatin calcium were formulated with appropriate excipients. Tablets from batches 1, 2, 3, and 4 were observed to disintegrate in 3.0, 4.0, and 5.0min, respectively. Conclusion: Lactose, talc, starch, dicalcium phosphate, MCC, and carbopol were found to be compatible with rosuvastatin calcium using analytical procedures. At 90min, the percentage of drug release for batches 1, 2, 3, and 4 were 89%, 85%, 82%, and 79%, respectively. The above study showed that batch 1 had the greatest drug release and the shortest disintegration time. Docking studies presented possible interactions between rosuvastatin calcium and excipients.

A fragmentação na indústria da construção civil: a importância das habilidades e competências, uma revisão sistemática da literatura
Authors: Machado Henrique Bueno , Brandstetter Maria Carolina Gomes de Oliveira
Published: June 2024

A indústria da construção (IC) enfrenta diversos problemas estruturais, sendo uma das menos inovadoras e produtivas globalmente. A fragmentação da IC é uma das principais causas desse desempenho insatisfatório. Este trabalho tem o objetivo realizar uma revisão sistemática da literatura até 2023, afim de identificar as causas da fragmentação e avaliar se habilidades e competências podem ser uma estratégia viável para enfrentá-la. Nos últimos dez anos, o aumento nas publicações sobre fragmentação e a correlação com habilidades e competências destaca a crescente importância dessas questões na construção civil, inclusive ainda em países desenvolvidos. Profissionais devem desenvolver e aplicar soft skills, como comunicação eficiente, trabalho em equipe, liderança, confiança, autoaprendizado e consciência ética e social, essenciais para o sucesso na prática da indústria. A revisão mostrou que as práticas propostas são frequentemente desconexas e a fragmentação carece de consenso, indicando uma deficiência na integração das propostas. A escassez de trabalhos focados em habilidades e competências revela uma lacuna significativa. A reorientação e aplicação estratégica dessas habilidades são essenciais. O currículo dos engenheiros deve focar não apenas em habilidades técnicas, mas também em competências secundárias e multidisciplinares para fomentar inovação e empreendedorismo. Os resultados da revisão podem auxiliar a sociedade, o mercado e a academia científica ao destacar a necessidade de preparar melhor os engenheiros para enfrentar os desafios da fragmentação. Desenvolver essas competências desde a graduação, com a colaboração entre alunos, mercado e universidades, pode transformar práticas no setor da construção, aumentando a produtividade e a inovação. Destaca-se que os métodos tradicionais de ensino precisam ser reorientados para uma visão mais holística em todo o processo

La adición de IGF-I a los medios de fertilización in vitro y cultivo de embriones ha sido propuesta como una forma de imitar las señales maternas de la gestación temprana en el útero. El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar la adición del factor de crecimiento similar a la insulina tipo-I (IGF-I) sobre la tasa de fertilización con semen sexado (SS) y de blastocistos bovinos producidos in vitro, así como la calidad embrionaria. Se utilizó SS de tres toros Holstein para la fertilización in vitro (FIV) de ovocitos obtenidos de ovarios recolectados en rastro, para lo cual se agregó IGF-I (100 ng/ml) en los medios de fertilización y desarrollo embrionario a diferentes tiempos: T1 (IGF-I, d 0-7; n= 393); T2 (IGF-I, d 0-3; n= 394); T3 (IGF-I, d 3-7; n= 394); y T4 (sin IGF-I o grupo control; n= 394). Se evaluó el porcentaje de fertilización al día tres de incubación y el día siete se evaluó la calidad y estadio de los blastocistos. Los datos se analizaron con el procedimiento CATMOD de SAS (SAS Inst. Inc., Cary, NC), ajustando un modelo que incluyó el efecto de tratamiento (con y sin IGF-I, para tasa de fertilización; y T1, T2, T3 y T4 para otras variables). La adición de IGF-I al medio afectó la tasa de fertilización (34 vs 42 %; P < 0.05) y no hubo efecto (P > 0.05) de tratamiento para la tasa de blastocistos/ovocitos fertilizados, ni para calidad de los blastocistos. Se concluye que bajo las condiciones del presente estudio, la adición de IGF-I a los medios de fertilización y cultivo in vitro no tiene un efecto benéfico para la producción de embriones, pero sí afecta la fertilidad del semen sexado.

Authors: Ugwuoke Garba M. , Idika Idika K.
Published: June 2024

Aim of study: To evaluate the weight gain, pathological lesions, and hematology in broilers treated with hydro-methanol extract of Mangifera indica stem bark (MISB) after experimental exposure to Eimeria tenella infection.
Material and methods: This investigation involved 56 three-week-old Ross 308 broilers, divided into 7 groups (A–G) of 8 birds each. Groups A–E were experimentally exposed to 25,000 oocysts of E. tenella orally. Groups A, B, and C were treated orally with graded doses of M. indica (250, 125 and 62.5 mg/kg, respectively), for seven consecutive days. Groups D (0.6 g/L sulfaquinoxaline, reference drug), E (infected non-treated), F (uninfected non-treated), and G (uninfected 125 mg/kg MISB-treated to validate effect of MISB on weight increase). After infection, blood and organs were extracted from each experimental group for hematology and pathology, and measurements of body weight gain and oocyst counts were made.
            Main results: M. indica improved (p<0.05) weight gain in MISB-treated broilers (A, B, C, and G). On day 6 post-infection (dpi), lesions of coccidiosis caused by E. tenella were observed in groups A, B, C, D, and E. The reduction in oocyst per gram of feces in the MISB and sulfaquinoxaline-treated groups was similar (p>0.05) after medication. Reduced packed cell volume at 7 dpi in the broilers of groups A (22.5% ± 0.7), B (27.0 % ± 2.83), and C (25.7 % ± 0.71), improved at 14 dpi after medication.
Research highlights: M. indica improved weight gain, reduced oocyst shedding, and ameliorated cecal lesions in MISB-treated chickens.

Authors: Huang Daoyu , Zhang Xiaoqing , Guan Yuanyuan
Published: June 2024

This study intends to compare the vocabulary learning strategies between high-achievers and low-achievers in junior high schools, and thus to explore effective vocabulary learning strategies to provide suggestions for English vocabulary teaching and learning practice. It is found out that high-achievers apply English vocabulary learning strategies more frequently than low-achieving students do. More specifically, in terms of meta-cognitive strategies, low-achievers use more pre-planning strategies, while high-achievers apply more selective attention strategies. For cognitive strategies, both high-achievers and low-achievers tend to use repetition strategies. Achievers are better at categorizing what they have learnt than low-achievers. For affective strategies, low-achievers apply reference books strategies most frequently and neither type of students uses authentic material strategies very often. Students’ beliefs, habits and attitudes towards vocabulary learning affect the application of strategies to some extent. High-achievers are better at utilizing the environment and even creating opportunities for English communication than underachievers. In addition, high-achievers have stronger learning motivation and they are also better at setting and achieving goals than low-achievers.

Published: June 2024

A 20-months-old female Russian Shepherd dog weighing 26 kg was presented to the Small Animal Clinic Unit of the University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, Jos-Plateau state, Nigeria with a complaint of inability to feed. History of progressively increasing swelling in the right side of the oral cavity which was first observed 2 months prior to presentation following supplementation of the dog’s feed with some bones. Clinical examination revealed a painless mass on the base of the tongue with associated oral discomfort. Aspirates of the swelling revealed a clear, mucoid, saliva-like fluid which was devoid of any cell upon cytological examination. Based on history and clinical findings, a diagnosis of sublingual salivary Mucocele was made. Surgical excision was done under general anaesthesia using atropine sulphate and Chlorpromazine as preanesthetics and Ketamine hydrochloride + 2% Xylazine as induction and maintenance anesthetics. The excised masses histologically showed a dilated duct lined by squamous epithelium, and sub-epithelial fibrosis; dense populations of cells with clear cytoplasmic vacoulations and delicate capillary networks. The case was confirmed as retention type salivary mucocele or Ranula. The dog recovered with the resumption of normal feeding after three days of surgical intervention with adjunctive antibiotics and analgesic administration. Monitoring was conducted and the dog was discharged one month after complete wound healing with no observed saliva re-accumulated. In conclusion, the presented case of a typical salivary mucocele and a mini-literature review will help heighten the awareness and knowledge about sialocele management with complete resolution following surgical excision.
