Discourses on Universal Basic Income: An Alternative Model of Idea of Justice
Authors:   Assistant Professor, Department Rajdhani College (University of Delhi), Jha Dr. Sushant Kumar , Dutt Mallika ,   MSc, Economics, (continuing) Gokhle Institute of Politics and Economics.
Published: November 2023

Discourses on Universal Basic Income, or UBI, are current political concerns that aim to provide all members of a political community with a fixed amount of money each month, with no conditions attached, in order to enable them to live good, dignified, and secure lives. UBI has strong connections with theories of justice. Having strong opposition, it is being more or less experimented with and piloted in most of the countries of the world. This paper tries to explore the arguments regarding how the UBI could be instrumental in realizing the major objectives of theories of justice. Among two dimensions of justice, reformative theory of justice connects to the legal aspect while the distributive theory of justice connects to the notion of social justice. Distributive justice believes that all the available means of livelihood and fruits of economic growth must be available to all human beings so that they could live a decent life and would not be forced to work without their wishes. Today's world is a world of automation and digitalization. Digitalization of the world economy resulted in massive joblessness, loss of social safety nets and wealth concentration in a small number of private players or MNCs. The Global Crisis of the Covid-19 pandemic has further multiplied the very adversity. In such a global scenario, the present study, by contemplating discourses on UBI and citing the case of Indian UBI, tries to see UBI as an alternative model of justice and put forward the argument that if UBI is implemented properly and universally, it will not only result in a conceptual shift in the political theory of justice, liberty, democracy and relative equality and others but also lead to the attainment of human emancipation which is the primary concern of political and social theorists.

Bowen's Disease (BD) is an in situ squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of epidermis, potentially malignant, which mainly affects sun-exposed areas. Nevertheless, the disease had an increased incidence in non-photo exposed areas, such as the anogenital region, correlating ambiental exposures, highlighting the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infection as an important risk factor. BD has a positive prognosis according to its slow progress and prolonged time taken for full expression. In the anogenital region, presented in this case, the risk of invasive carcinoma is less than 6%. This case reports an unusual presentation of BD, describing a lesion with compact orthokeratosis in the anogenital region. The condition was diagnosed in a prevention routine of primary care attention, emphasizing the importance of premature diagnosis and satisfactory treatment, not just at BDs, but in a variety of conditions.
The impact of demonetization on Indian economy
Authors: Aditi Agarwal, Ritika Lata, Raju Ram, Srishti Sharma
Published: November 2023

The demonetization strategy implemented by the Government of India on November 8th, 2016, was designed with the objective of eliminating illicit funds inside the economy and curbing the circulation of counterfeit currency, which were believed to be utilized for the purpose of financing acts of terrorism. Two further significant aims were to broaden the formal economy's scope and to make gradual progress in digital transactions. However, the implementation of this policy shock was deemed unjustified due to its potential to disrupt economic operations, particularly in the short term. The advantages and disadvantages of this approach have been subject to substantial deliberation and analysis within the realm of print media and policy discourse. However, it has been observed that there is a lack of empirical information about the influence of this policy shock on economic activity. Within the confines of this particular setting, employing econometric research, the current investigation has ascertained that demonetization did not provide a statistically significant influence on the general trajectory of economic growth. Instead, the repercussions were confined to certain sectors. Likewise, the effect of demonetization on inflation was particularly noticeable in relation to food costs only. However, a significant policy implication arising from demonetization is the transformative impact it has had on digital transactions in the years following its implementation.

Published: November 2023

In the era of technology, the need for developing a language to communicate with computers led to the development of different programming languages. Computers cannot understand the commands in the normal human languages so we needed programming languages to communicate with computers and develop different apps, website and software programs. A crucial part for programming languages are data types. Data types are the classifications of data which tells the compiler or interpreter how the developer wants to insert the data.
Considering Performance Issues in Ad Hoc Networking : A Comprehensive Study
Authors: Neeraj Verma, Pro. (Dr.) Awakash Mishra
Published: November 2023

Ad hoc networks have emerged as a versatile and dynamic communication paradigm with applications spanning from mobile devices and sensor networks to emergency response and military operations. However, their inherent decentralized and self-organizing nature gives rise to a myriad of performance challenges that must be comprehensively addressed to ensure reliable and efficient communication. This paper presents a comprehensive study of performance issues in ad hoc networking, aiming to provide a holistic understanding of the various factors impacting network performance. The study begins by examining the fundamental characteristics of ad hoc networks, highlighting their unique advantages and challenges. We delve into critical performance metrics such as throughput, latency, scalability, and energy efficiency, dissecting the factors that influence each of these metrics in ad hoc environments. The role of routing protocols, MAC layer design, and network topologies in shaping network performance is thoroughly analyzed. Furthermore, this study explores the impact of mobility patterns, traffic models, and interference on ad hoc network performance. It delves into the challenges posed by dynamic network topologies, node failures, and the need for adaptive mechanisms to maintain robust connectivity. Quality of service (QoS) considerations and their implications on performance are also discussed in detail. To provide a comprehensive view, we survey state-of-the-art solutions and techniques proposed in the literature to mitigate performance issues in ad hoc networks. These include adaptive routing algorithms, cross-layer optimization approaches, and novel communication paradigms like cognitive radio networks. Finally, we present a roadmap for future research directions in the field of ad hoc networking performance optimization. The goal is to inspire further investigation and innovation in addressing the evolving challenges faced by ad hoc networks, making them more reliable, efficient, and adaptable for a wide range of applications.
Modelling the Aviation Energy Transition
Authors: Schäfer Andreas W.
Published: November 2023

In 2019, global aviation generated approximately 1 billion tonnes of CO2, which is almost three times the amount released by the entire UK economy. Warming from contrails is of similar magnitude, and thus greatly increases this sector’s climate impact. Reducing the aviation climate impact is particularly challenging due to the sector’s high growth rate and long-lived assets, as well as the importance of non-CO2 climate impacts and the absence of commercially available, scalable zero-carbon or carbon-neutral technology. Consequently, careful consideration of all mitigation options is required, that is, reducing air transportation energy intensity, developing and scaling up synthetic fuels, and managing aviation demand. Building upon the integrated assessment models developed at UCL’s Air Transportation Systems Laboratory, this seminar will explore the opportunities and challenges for greatly reducing the aviation sector’s climate impact.
Logistics and Supply Chain Superpowers and Skills for Survival in the “New Normal” Globalized World
Authors: Merkert Rico , Hoberg Kai , Mahadevan Kumaraguru
Published: November 2023

Disruptions and rising costs in global supply chains due to COVID-19, climate change, and geopolitical tensions have led to supernormal profits, substantially more recognition of the importance of the sector and management functions associated with it, and a potential “golden age” for a career in logistics and supply chain management (LSCM). This article provides a general overview of the opportunities arising from global LSCM trends. Motivated by student views and comments, the authors have surveyed leading academics and senior practitioners globally across the key LSCM functions to obtain a comprehensive view on the future skills required to excel in a career in supply chain management. Their findings suggest a multitude of future-proof skills centred around technical (e.g., data analytics), soft (e.g., creativity) and cross-functional skills, which they then use to discuss implications for job profiles, graduates (i.e., learn to learn) and LSCM professionals. Given the variety and complexity of the identified skills and LSCM functions, in addition to a compounding LSCM talent shortage, the authors propose changes in LSCM offerings at universities and other tertiary education providers, with a focus on unlearning and life-long learning.

Authors: PUTINTSEVA E.P.
Published: November 2023

The article is devoted to the theoretical analysis of the construction of a paid agreement on the transfer of inheritance rights. The current Russian legislation allows only unconditional renunciation of inheritance or the conclusion of an agreement on the division of inheritance after the expiration of the period for accepting the inheritance. Using historical and comparative legal analysis, it is concluded that there are other legal structures that may be of interest to heirs. A distinction is made between the renunciation of inheritance as a unilateral transaction and a bilateral agreement on the assignment of inheritance rights.

Published: November 2023

The article investigates historical narratives of violence and abuse of a black deaf woman in the municipality of Igarapé-Miri/PA. With the objective of identifying how the female gender in a condition of non-white deafness deals with issues of violence. It explores the problem of how the subject exposed to these circumstances of hostility and abuse correspond to the acts that victimize him. It consists of a reflexive bibliographic review through access to the database on the Capes Periodical Portal. The study is based on scholars such as: Costa (2011); Santiago (2009); Formoso and Klein (2007). The research was developed from a qualitative approach as a method of investigation through semi-structured interviews directed to the interviewee. The results show that violence is real in the interviewee's experience with regard to aspects related to her identity and the way she relates to society. Therefore, it has a negative impact on the formation of their identity and on their accessibility to social sectors.
Hume's criticisms of induction and Peirce's semiotic epistemology: the value of pluralistic approaches for organizational knowledge
Authors: Ribeiro Gustavo , Sabadin Marcilde , Naccari Marilha , Raimondi Thuana
Published: November 2023

This article proposes a comparative analysis between two fundamental philosophical theories that contribute to the construction of knowledge: David Hume's Critique of Induction and Charles Sanders Peirce's Cooperation of Truth. We will examine how these two approaches address the process of knowledge acquisition and reasoning. While Hume questions the validity of induction, Peirce develops a semiotic epistemology based on sign mediation. The analysis demonstrates that both highlight the role of inference in knowledge acquisition, though there are differences regarding the reliability of inductive reasoning. Furthermore, while Hume emphasizes the problem of justification, Peirce focuses on the cooperative pursuit of truth. By exploring these theories, we aim to discuss how they contribute to our understanding of the process through which we acquire and justify knowledge, also within an organizational context.
Effects of antioxidant alfa-lipolic acid on polyphenol oxidase activity of acitretin- methotrexate combination in rat spleen tissue
Authors: Fatma Gönül Sezgin  , Emine Dıraman  , Emine İncilay Torunoğlu
Published: November 2023

Objectives: Acitretin, a lipophilic weak acid, is a slightly water-soluble vitamin A analog. Methotrexate is a folic acid analogue and an antimetabolite used for the treatment of many diseases.. Alpha lipoic acid is a nutritional coenzyme with important physiological effects in protein, fat and carbohydrate metabolism. Polyphenol oxidase is an oxidoreductase containing copper in its active site and oxidizes phenolic compounds. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of Alpha lipoic acid on the polyphenol oxidase enzyme activity in the spleen tissue in removing the damage caused by the free radicals produced by Acitretin and Methotrexate at the cellular level. Materials and Methods: Study groups were formed as Control , Alpha lipoic acid , Acitretin+Methotrexate and Acitretin+Methotrexate+Alpha lipoic acid groups. Rats who were starved for 24 hours were injected at the every morning. Acitretin, Methotrexate and Alpha Lipoic Acid were dissolved in 0.9% NaCl and given to rats by intraperitoneal injection. Rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation on the 7th day after injection. After perfusion of the heart, the spleen was removed. Extracted spleen tissue samples were used for polyphenol oxidase enzyme activity determination. Results: Results: Compared with groups Control; While 18% inhibition was observed in the Alpha lipoic acid group, 20% inhibition was observed in the Acitretin + Methotrexate group. When Alpha lipoic acid was added to the Acitretin + Methotrexate group, while 19% activation was observed according to Control, 1% activation was observed compared to the Acitretin+Methotrexate group. Although there were differences between the groups, these differences were not statistically significant. Conclusion: The inhibition of PPO enzyme activity by ALA can be explained by the fact that while ALA alone acts as a radical scavenger that can regenerate substances with antioxidant properties in the spleen tissue, when given in combination, it acts as an antioxidant that triggers PPO activity.

Authors:   Department of Microbiology, IGMC Shimla, India, Katoch Pankaj , Kumar P ,   Department of Pediatrics, IGMC Shimla, India
Published: November 2023

Background: Clinical and diagnostic challenges are due to the result of a variable presentation of neonatal sepsis and bloodstream infections (BSIs) and uncertain disease epidemiology in children below five years of age. Although the criteria for achieving an adequate blood culture specimen in adults have been well described, there is much more equivocation in the pediatric population, especially for the under-five-year age group. Therefore, the present study is designed to evaluate the etiological profile of BSI among under-five children by the automated BACTEC systems. Materials and Methods: All blood culture samples received in the Department of Microbiology for culture falling in the age group were included in the study for a period of one year from 01 July 2015 to 30 June 2016 using the BD BACTEC FX except in the exclusion criteria. The blood culture was observed in the BD BACTEC FX system for at least five days before being reported as sterile. Results: A total of 1533 samples in the age group of < 5 years and suspected of BSIs were received in the Department of Microbiology, Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC), Shimla. Among them, 963 (62.8%) were males, while 570 (37.2%) were females. Among the total of 1533 samples, 604 (39.40%) were found positive in culture, 898 (58.57%) were negative, and 31 (2.02%) were contaminants. Among the 604 positive cases, 390 (64.6%) were men, while 214 (35.4%) were women. S. aureus was the highest among the gram-positive isolates 98 (16.22%), followed by coagulase-negative Staphylococcus, group B Streptococcus, and S. pneumoniae. Among the gram-negative organisms, E. coli 80 (13.24%) was isolated mostly followed by K. pneumoniae 70 (11.58%), P. aeruginosa 68 (11.25%), Salmonella typhi 50 (8.27%), Citrobacter koseri 18 (2.98%), Acinetobacter baumannii 12 (1.98%) and a group of organisms without fermentation 86 (14.23%). Conclusion: There was quite high positivity in culture in the preschool group. Positivity was significantly high in males as compared to females. It is essential to administer appropriate and synergistic antimicrobial agents empirically early and appropriately for treating children under five-year age with BSI.

Authors:   General Hospital of Thoracic Diseases Sotiria, Athens, Greece, Theofilou Paraskevi
Published: November 2023

The management of chronic disease is perhaps the main challenge for health professionals worldwide, who are called upon to deal with a variety of individual problems, also on a psychological and social level. The role of social support in the management of chronic disease seems to be important, as according to the international literature, it is positively related to physical and mental health. Many surveys have shown that social support is related to the reduction of depression and anxiety, the adoption of healthy health behaviors, commitment to therapeutic and dietary treatment, self-care, self-management, and a better quality of life and outcome of the disease in patients with renal disease, breast cancer, and musculoskeletal disorders. The purpose of this paper is, through the results of international research, to describe the concept and the forms of social support, as well as to investigate whether it has a positive or negative impact on chronic disease management. An additional goal is to identify the strategies and interventions with which health professionals can support the patient both emotionally and practically so that the patient is able to manage stress, disorders, and other problems more effectively created by his illness, as well as by the wider family environment.

Incidences of sodium nitrite poisoning have frequently increased in the last few years with the wide, easy availability of the drug and the increase in suicidal tendencies in the population. Sodium nitrite is widely used as a food preservative and in treating cyanide toxicity. It is a powerful oxidizing agent, which oxidizes hemoglobin to methemoglobin, reducing the oxygen-carrying capacity of erythrocytes and causing tissue hypoxia. Patients with sodium nitrite toxicity present to emergency with hypotension, cyanosis, hypoxia, altered consciousness, dysrhythmia, and cardiac arrest. We report a case of a suicide survivor who presented with an intentional fatal overdose of sodium nitrite in an 18-year-old female by drinking approximately one tablespoon of sodium nitrite in a suicidal attempt. Upon arrival at the emergency department (ED), the patient was hypotensive, cyanotic, and cyanosis non-responsive to oxygen therapy. Hospital professionals should consider sodium nitrite toxicity in patients with a suspected overdose who present with a cyanotic appearance and pulse oximetry that remains around 85% despite oxygen and dark brown blood seen on venipuncture. Prompt diagnosis is crucial to start early treatment.

Published: November 2023

Relata uma investigação executada pela Vigilância Sanitária (VISA) para diplostomidae, parasitose em olhos de peixes. Estudo descritivo, qualitativo, observacional, realizou-se a partir de denúncias, através da busca direta e do diagnóstico situacional feitas pela VISA no açude de Orós, Ceará (CE).  Os peixes recebidos portando a parasitose foram necropsiados e as amostras dos órgãos coletadas para identificação parasitológica e análise histopatológica. Verificaram-se no reservatório de água fatores predisponentes ao ciclo do parasito: aves piscívoras, moluscos vetor em abundância, águas eutrofizadas pelos despejos da piscicultura, bovinocultura e esgotos domésticos. Análises laboratoriais identificaram Austrodiplostomum spp., trematódeo oportunista sem risco à saúde humana. Concluída a investigação, os produtores e comerciantes passaram a eviscerar peixes em local adequado e acondicionar o pescado corretamente. O diagnóstico de diplostomidae é inédito nessa região e a célere elucidação do caso feita pela VISA municipal contribuiu para reestruturar a segurança alimentar e econômica local.

Published: November 2023

O estudo objetivou verificar as conformidades e não conformidades sanitárias existentes nos serviços consorciados de saúde durante a pandemia de Covid-19. Pesquisa de análise documental, abrangeu a macrorregião de saúde de Sobral, Ceará. Essa macrorregião possui cinco regiões de saúde, sendo que cada uma possui uma policlínica e um centro de especialidade odontológica regional. Utilizou-se os relatórios de inspeção sanitária produzidos pelos inspetores estaduais que continham informações sobre estrutura, organização e funcionamento dessas unidades, avaliadas de setembro de 2020 a setembro de 2021. Os resultados foram georreferenciados pelo software Quantum GIS 3.26, Buenos Aires. Verificou-se que a policlínica de Sobral estava em melhor conformidade sanitária, enquanto Acaraú necessitava de ajustes nos processos de trabalho, segurança dos pacientes e segurança ocupacional. Quanto aos CEOs avaliados, dois apresentaram excelentes conformidades sanitárias e três estavam com itens em não conformidade. Essas evidências sugerem a melhoria da gestão da qualidade nos consórcios de saúde avaliados.
Intrapartum transperineal ultrasound: angle of progression to evaluate and predict the mode of delivery and labor progression
Authors: Jung Ji Eun , Lee Young Joo
Published: November 2023

Intrapartum ultrasonography serves as a valuable tool for the objective evaluation of labor progression and effectively identifies underlying factors, such as asynclitism, in cases of abnormal labor progression. Among the various ultrasound measurement techniques, the angle of progression (AOP) demonstrates favorable reproducibility and accuracy in assessing fetal head descent. In the context of abnormal labor, interventions differ across different stages of labor, emphasizing the importance of investigating the utility of AOP according to labor stages in this review article. Pre-labor assessment of AOP can be beneficial in terms of counseling for the timing of induction of labor, while a wider AOP value during the prolonged first stage of labor has demonstrated a positive correlation with successful vaginal delivery and shorter time to delivery. In the second stage of labor, the AOP has exhibited efficacy in predicting the mode of delivery and complicated operative deliveries. Furthermore, it has assisted in predicting the duration of labor, thereby highlighting its potential as a decision-making model for labor progression. However, further research is needed to investigate aspects, such as the determination of cutoff values, of AOP, considering the multifaceted characteristics of labor progression, which are influenced by complex interactions among maternal, fetal, and other contributing factors.
GUERREIRO RAMOS E A RACIONALIDADE: UMA CONTRIBUIÇÃO BRASILEIRA ORIGINAL PARA OS ESTUDOS ORGANIZACIONAIS
Authors: Tonet Rogério Silveira
Published: November 2023

Este artigo oferece ao leitor um panorama sobre o que possivelmente é a principal contribuição brasileira a Ciência da Administração ou, mais precisamente, aos Estudos Organizacionais, representada pelo trabalho de Guerreiro Ramos e de alguns de seus seguidores. Guerreiro Ramos conclui sua extensa produção acadêmica ao escrever o livro “A Nova Ciência das Organizações” onde propõe, ao mesmo tempo, um rearranjo social, denominado “Paradigma Paraeconômico” que se fundamenta no estabelecimento de vários enclaves legítimos e, de maneira inovadora, propõe uma tipologia de formas organizacionais. Ao mesmo tempo, a partir de uma conceituação inicial de Weber, propõe uma discussão sobre o embate entre racionalidades instrumental e substantiva, que seria mais adaptada a um ou a outro tipo organizacional dependendo do enclave onde este estaria inserido. Depois de um hiato de quase duas décadas, Serva inicia um movimento na criação de um novo campo de estudos, onde propõe uma operacionalização das ideias de Guerreiro Ramos, a partir de um quadro de análise e utilizando-se de metodologia etnográfica para analisar organizações onde seria possível identificar traços – ou predominância – de uma racionalidade do tipo substantiva em algumas organizações. A partir deste estudo proposto por Serva, vários trabalhos tem sido feitos na academia brasileira, dissertações, teses e artigos, no sentido de replicar e, algumas vezes, ampliar esta proposta.
Teaching Indigenous Literatures for Decolonization: Challenging Learning, Learning to Challenge
Authors: Hanson Aubrey Jean
Published: November 2023

This paper examines the significance of colonial contexts that influence the teaching of Indigenous literatures. It draws upon conversations I held with Indigenous writers and with secondary educators, in which we discussed the relationships between Indigenous communities, Indigenous literatures, and classroom teaching in Canada. In dialogue with teachers’ and authors’ perspectives, this paper argues that, when Indigenous stories are told and taught, readers are invited to challenge colonial understandings and are implicated into challenging classroom experiences. The pedagogical experiences precipitated by Indigenous literatures can be difficult for teachers and students, leading to unsettling dynamics, but are importantly decolonizing. Keywords: Indigenous literatures, Indigenous education, decolonization, resurgence, métissage Cet article examine la signification des contextes coloniaux qui influencent l’enseignement des littératures autochtones. Il puise dans des conversations que j’ai eues avec des écrivains autochtones et des enseignants du secondaire au cours desquelles nous avons discuté des rapports entre les communautés autochtones, les littératures autochtones et l’enseignement en classe au Canada. S’appuyant sur les perspectives des enseignants et des auteurs, l’article soutient que lorsqu’on raconte ou qu’on enseigne des récits autochtones, on invite les lecteurs à remettre en question des perspectives coloniales et à participer à des expériences stimulantes en classe. Les expériences pédagogiques précipitées par les littératures autochtones peuvent s’avérer difficiles pour les enseignants et les élèves, et une dynamique perturbante peut en découler, mais leur rôle dans la décolonisation est important. Mots clés: littératures autochtones; éducation autochtone; décolonisation; résurgence; métissage
Collaborative Inquiry and School Leadership Growth: An Australian Adaptation of an Albertan Approach
Authors: Boyd William Edgar , Hayden Martin
Published: November 2023

This article introduces an Australian adaptation of an approach to supporting school leadership and improvement pioneered by educationalists David Townsend and Pam Adams, from Alberta, Canada. Referred to as the North Coast Initiative for School Improvement, the adaptation involved school leaders, academics, and government officials who combined to implement the twin processes of collaborative inquiry and generative dialogue at about sixty primary and secondary schools across the North Coast region of New South Wales, Australia. The initiative appears from all reports to have been both well received and highly impactful, including in terms of improved student performance. This issue of the AJER offers an exploration from an Australian perspective of the principles underpinning the two processes. It also presents case studies from an Australian setting of the impact of these processes on school leadership and improvement. Key words: collaborative inquiry, generative dialogue, North Coast Initiative for School Improvement, school leadership, school improvement Cet article présente l'adaptation australienne d'une approche de soutien à la direction et à l'amélioration des écoles mise au point par les pédagogues David Townsend et Pam Adams de l'Alberta, au Canada. Connue sous le nom de North Coast Initiative for School Improvement, cette adaptation a impliqué des leaders scolaires, des universitaires et des représentants du gouvernement qui se sont associés pour mettre en œuvre les processus jumeaux d'enquête collaborative et de dialogue génératif dans une soixantaine d'écoles primaires et secondaires de la région de la côte nord de la Nouvelle-Galles du Sud, en Australie. D'après tous les rapports, l'initiative semble avoir été à la fois bien accueillie et très efficace, notamment en termes d'amélioration des résultats des élèves. Ce numéro de l'AJER propose une exploration d'un point de vue australien des principes qui sous-tendent les deux processus. Il présente également des études de cas d'un contexte australien de l'impact de ces processus sur la direction et l'amélioration des écoles.
