Direct Laryngoscopy stimulates protective reflexes that trigger the sympathetic nervous system, which can have detrimental effects on the cardiovascular system. α2-agonists such as clonidine and dexmedetomidine directly reduce sympathoadrenal responses and maintain hemodynamic stability during Direct Laryngoscopy. Administering these premedications intranasally has the advantage of better patient compliance and tolerance, and they can be delivered using a mucosal atomiser device (MAD).

This study aimed to compare the intranasal administration of two α2-agonists, clonidine and dexmedetomidine, as alternatives to parenteral premedication routes that can increase pain and anxiety. The primary objective was to evaluate their effects on hemodynamic stability and stress response during diagnostic direct laryngoscopy, while the secondary objective focused on assessing associated side effects.

In this randomized prospective observational study, 80 patients were divided into two equal groups of 40. The participants, aged 18 to 65 years and of any gender, were classified as American Society of Anaesthesiologists (ASA) physical status 1 or 2 and were scheduled for elective surgeries requiring general anaesthesia. Group C received intranasal clonidine (3 µg/kg) via Mucosal Atomiser Device, while Group D received intranasal dexmedetomidine (1.5 µg/kg). Hemodynamic monitoring was performed from baseline through the completion of the diagnostic laryngoscopy procedure.

: During the intraoperative period, once laryngoscopy commenced, significant differences were observed in heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) (p = 0.001). However, oxygen saturation showed no significant difference (p = 0.06). The sedation level measured 30 minutes after premedication was significantly higher in the dexmedetomidine group compared to the clonidine group (p = 0.001).

Both Dexmedetomidine and Clonidine effectively reduce sympathetic responses during direct laryngoscopy, but Dexmedetomidine offers superior control. Intranasal administration of Dexmedetomidine at a dose of 1.5 µg/kg via a Mucosal Atomiser Device effectively suppresses sympathetic activity without adverse effects, providing a safe and painless option for patients.

Published: January 2025

: Frozen shoulder is a progressively restrictive condition characterized by a gradual onset of pain, stiffness, and limited mobility in the shoulder joint. Among the different treatment modalities available, minimally invasive treatments include Suprascapular nerve (SSN) interventions using steroids with local anesthetics and pulsed radiofrequencytreatment. This study aims to evaluate whether combining a triamcinolone injection with pulsed radiofrequency can provide more prolonged pain relief compared to triamcinolone injection alone. A comparative study was designed to assess the effects of these two treatment approaches in patients with frozen shoulder.

: A randomized, open-level clinical trial was conducted on 41 patients suffering from frozen shoulder pain in the Pain Medicine outpatient department. These patients were evaluated for pain, disability, and range of motion using various scales such as (the visual analog scale (VAS), Shoulder Pain and Disability Index score (SPADI), and range of motion (ROM) by Goniometry. They were randomly allocated into two groups: Triamcinolone groups (T Group) and combined groups (C Group). All patients were evaluated pre-procedure and post-procedure for six months using the VAS, SPADI, and active ROM of the shoulder joint.

: The pre-procedural VAS scores between the Triamcinolone and the combined Group were comparable (p=0.213). A statistically significant reduction in mean VAS score was found in the combined Group at each interval (p=0.032). Similarly, the reduction in SPADI score was also significant (p< 0.05) from pre-procedure to post-procedure at each interval, and the reduction in SPADI score was more pronounced in the combined Group than the Triamcinolone group. The combined Group also showed more improvement in ROM at each follow-up, which was statistically significant.

: Injection of Triamcinolone combined with pulsed radiofrequency for suprascapular nerve intervention gives better and longer-lasting pain relief. This combined approach also reduces disability and provides an improved range of motion at the shoulder joint.

Authors: Kumari Anupama , Tailor Richa Mukeshbhai , Thomas Sara Mary
Published: January 2025

The management of pregnant women with congenital heart diseases is a complex and challenging task, particularly as these conditions are becoming more common with advancements in medical and surgical treatments. Pulmonary hypertension in pregnancy, classified as class IV by the World Health Organization (WHO), presents a significant hemodynamic burden due to circulatory changes during pregnancy. This condition is associated with a high risk of maternal morbidity and mortality, making careful management essential for optimal outcomes.

A pregnant patient with a repaired large ventricular septal defect (VSD) measuring 14 mm, complicated by severe pulmonary hypertension (75 mm Hg), was planned for a cesarean section. The procedure was performed under epidural anesthesia using a combination of 0.75% Ropivacaine and 2% Lignocaine, with the drug doses titrated to effect.

A well-planned and executed epidural anesthesia, with appropriate selection of epidural drugs and doses, can serve as an effective anesthetic modality for cesarean delivery in patients with cardiac conditions, offering safety and optimal outcomes in complex clinical scenarios.
Field evaluation of the delivery system of native predatory bug, Eocanthecona furcellata for the management of lepidopteran pests in pulse crops
Authors: MAURYA R. P. , DOBHAL P.
Published: January 2025

Eocanthecona furcellata (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) is predatory on most of the lepidopteran insect pests. This bug has been recorded in different regions of India from various crop ecosystems. In Uttarakhand, this predator has been found predating upon different pests of various crops viz. pulses, wheat, rice, soybean, maize, etc grown in plains, foothills, mid hills, valleys and high hills. The mass production technology of this predator has also been developed in the laboratory on hosts such as Spodoptera litura and Corcyra cephalonica. Further, the different release methods in crop fields and rates of release of this insect were studied on pulse crops. Cage experiments were conducted to evaluate the effective predacious stages of this bug and its field release doses in different pulse crop ecosystems. The experiments were carried out in the tarai region of Uttarakhand during 2020-2022. The results revealed that 4th and 5th nymphal instars as well as the adults were voracious feeders in the pulse ecosystem. The population of Maruca vitrata on mungbean and pigeonpea was reduced significantly by 4th and 5th nymphal instars as compared to other stages of the insect. Thus, the nymphal and adult stages were found to be appropriate to be employed for the management of insect pests in pulse crops. The experiments were also conducted on the dose determination in which different rates as 2, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 nymphs and adults per cage were used for the control of S. litura. The results revealed a 62.00 and 54.13% reduction of S. litura population in soybean, 60.89 and 62.50% in pigeonpea, 63.99 and 60.02% in mungbean in S. litura population was found at 10 days after release of the nymphs and adults of the bug respectively at the rate of 9 nymphs and 9 adults per cage. The present results indicate that the releasing rates of 9 nymphs and 9 adults per cage in the pulse ecosystem were satisfactory for suppressing S. litura population. This study will be of significant importance in achieving successful management of lepidopterous insect pests through field release of the predator at specified doses.
Silence as a Sensory Agency: A Counternarrative Analysis of Silence in Sundar Sarukkai’s Following a Prayer
Authors: Anand Ujjwal , Tripathi Priyanka
Published: January 2025

Purpose of the Study: This research paper aims to explore Sundar Sarukkai’s novel Following a Prayer (2023) as a counter narrative to the conventional understanding of voice, agency, and silence. It examines how silence functions as a sensory and agentic force, shaping the experiences of Kalpna, the twelve-year-old protagonist of the novel. The research demonstrates how silence, traditionally perceived as passive, is actively experienced by individuals as a dynamic and lived phenomenon.
Methodology and Theoretical Framework: This research employs ‘textual analysis’ and Marielle Aithamon’s (2022) theoretical framework of ‘silence as décrochage’ to critically examine the novel.
Main Findings: The novel's analysis reveals the complex inner psychology of young children, particularly Kalpana, who uses silence as a form of sensory engagement to assert her agency in a world that often equates empowerment with verbal expression. Challenging conventional interpretations, the study reframes silence as an agentic force rather than a sign of weakness and highlights its role in shaping gendered experiences.
Application of the Study: The research provides a fresh perspective in gender studies by challenging traditional notions of voice, agency, and empowerment. An in-depth analysis of the novel contributes to exploring how marginalized individuals assert their subjectivity and resist dominant power structures.
Novelty of the Study: The research offers a unique viewpoint on the intricate connection between silence and agency, highlighting how silence challenges dominant power structures and holds transformative potential for reshaping gendered realities. By analyzing Sarukkai’s novel Following a Prayer through the lens of ‘silence as décrochage,’ the article argues that silence, sensory experience, and personal empowerment are deeply interconnected, moving beyond traditional interpretations of voice and agency.

Global urbanisation is leading to the degradation of living soils, with substantial and direct impacts on climate, biodiversity, food security, and human health. Urban land use policies are beginning to address soil protection. However, they rarely address the depollution and remediation of urban soils and the revitalisation of the agricultural socio-economic fabric, both essential to recover and maintain healthy soils. Instead polluted soils are often managed through further soil sealing (i.e. covering with a plastic ‘geotextile’ layer to isolate it and adding new soil on top). As alternatives, emerging urban communities of practice are currently experimenting with integrated and holistic practices of soil care, such as sourcing urban organic waste streams (food waste, leaves, grass clippings, waste from breweries, ecological paperboard packaging, etc.) for topsoil regeneration or using nature-based approaches (e.g. bioremediation) for the depollution of topsoils. Such practices urgently need enabling and adequate policy frameworks to be mainstreamed and aligned with related policies regarding climate action, green/blue infrastructure and urban food policy plans.

Authors: Cobeña Andrade Xavier Alfredo
Published: January 2025

Este artículo examina la relación entre el coeficiente de Giniyla presión tributaria en nueve países sudamericanos durante el período 2000-2020, empleando un modelo de regresión múltiple y controlando variables como el gasto en educación, la urbanización, la población en edad laboral y el índice de desarrollo democrático. Para el análisis se utilizaron datos de fuentes abiertas de organizaciones internacionales, incluyendo la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) y el Banco Mundial. Los resultados indican que existe una relación inversamente proporcional y estadísticamente significativa entre la desigualdad y la presión fiscal, lo que sugiere que las políticas fiscales pueden ser un instrumento efectivo para mitigar la inequidad. Sin embargo, la fuerza de esta relación varía dependiendo del contexto nacional y las condiciones estructurales preexistentes en cada país. Esto subraya la importancia de adoptar enfoques integrales y personalizados para combatir las causas profundas de la desigualdad en la región.

Published: January 2025

The herbicide drift is problem in crops when it reaches non-target crops. The glyphosate drift after growth regulator application can influence in wheat response. This study assessed the effects of glyphosate drift after trinexapac-ethyl application on wheat. Two field experiments were conducted in winter season of 2018 and 2019. Cultivar TBIO Toruk and Sossego cultivars were used in 2018 and cultivar TBIO Audaz and Cultivar ORS Citrino in 2019. Wheat cultivars were treated with trinexapac-ethyl followed subdoses of glyphosate ranging from 0 to 72 g ae ha-1. The phytotoxicity from glyphosate was less than 10% to para Cultivar TBIO Toruk and Sossego. Glyphosate symptoms were slightly higher in cultivar TBIO Audaz cultivar treated with trinexapac-ethyl. The isolated effects of Trinexapac-ethyl and glyphosate reduced plant height, but the interaction of trinexapac-ethyl and glyphosate factors had a greater reduction on plant height in 2019. The interaction between trinexapac-ethyl and glyphosate promoted more damage  than they alone. Glyphosate reduced by up 11% cultivar TBIO Toruk yield but increase around 30% to cultivar Sossego yield. Cultivar TBIO Audaz was the most sensitive cultivar, with yield losses of up to 59% due to glyphosate drift. Overall, the effect of glyphosate on plant height was subdose dependent. Subsequent application of trinexapac-ethyl to plants exposed to the highest glyphosate subdoses resulted in decreased plant height and dry matter accumulation. Trinexapac-ethyl has no impact on wheat yield. The yield response was dependent of glyphosate subdose, cultivar and year.

Published: January 2025

Durante los últimos años, a nivel mundial se han reportado cambios importantes en los ecosistemas naturales debido a las diferentes actividades humanas. Uno de los principales resultados de estas actividades es la pérdida y fragmentación de hábitats provocada por el cambio en el uso del suelo. En este contexto, la presente investigación se realizó en la comunidad Caña Brava perteneciente al cantón Santa Ana; se planteó analizar la fragmentación del bosque durante el período 2015-2021 aplicando un enfoque mixto; entre los resultados más importantes se tiene que, para el año 2015 el bosque contaba con una extensión de 267,21 ha distribuidas en 6 parches, mientras que para el año 2021 la cobertura vegetal disminuyó a 163,46 ha, aumentando los parches a 9; la zona sin cobertura vegetal entre este período aumentó 28,21 ha., así mismo se amplió la frontera agrícola en 75,74 ha, reduciendo la cobertura vegetal a 103,75 ha, por lo que el grado de fragmentación del bosque para el año 2021 fue de 0,4 clasificándose como Insularizado. Se concluye que, la agricultura es la principal causa de fragmentación del bosque, y de no contemplarse medidas de protección, el nivel de fragmentación seguirá en incremento, afectando los servicios ecosistémicos en la zona para las presentes y futuras generaciones, alterando incluso el cumplimiento del ODS 15 “Vida y ecosistemas terrestres” y el ODS 11 “Comunidades y ciudades Sostenibles”.

Authors: Rojas Vera Byron Andrés , Pacheco Tigselema María Teresa
Published: January 2025

El maíz se destaca por su gran volumen de cultivo, alto rendimiento y contenido de almidón, importante fuente de energía. Dada la necesidad de preservar la salud del consumidor y otorgar diversos usos de este polisacárido, el objetivo de este trabajo fue aplicar dos métodos de modificación (ácido: ácido cítrico y OSA: anhídrido octenil   succínico) sobre almidón de maíz de dos variedades (amarillo y morado), para incrementar el contenido de almidón resistente RS (Resistent Starch) a la digestión, y así, seleccionar un tratamiento que permita mejorar su potencial prebiótico. Los almidones extraídos presentaron una pureza entre 86,25% y 93,78%, señalando una buena eficacia de extracción. El maíz amarillo permitió el mayor rendimiento en obtención de almidón nativo y modificado por método ácido y método OSA (47,97% a 56,07%); en comparación al rendimiento logrado a partir del maíz morado (39,06% a 45,98%). El mayor contenido de RS (95,30%) se observó en el almidón de maíz morado modificado con OSA, y el mayor contenido de amilosa (AC) se observó en el almidón de maíz amarillo y morado tratados con ácido cítrico en medio húmedo caliente (37,09 a 41,89%) (p < 0,05); lo que señala que, principalmente el maíz morado modificado por OSA puede actuar como un aditivo de gran potencial prebiótico, útil para diseñar nuevos alimentos funcionales.

Background: Toxoplasma gondii is an obligatory intracellular protozoan capable of infecting humans and several animal species. The aim of the study was to assess the seroprevalence in sheep in five regions located in north-eastern of Algeria and determine potential risk factors for the disease. The estimation of seroprevalence and the determination of risk factors make it possible to apply strategies to reduce the rate of infestation on sheep farms. Methods: The study was conducted between November 2021 and March 2023. The indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method was used to detect the presence of anti- T. gondii IgG antibodies in blood plasma from 368 animals, both sexes. Moreover, to identify the potential risk factors for T. gondii infection, a survey through breeders’ questionnaires was conducted. Breeders’ questionnaires were also used in a survey to find possible risk factors for T. gondii infection. For statistical analysis, the Khi2 and ANOVA tests were used with multiple range tests (multiple range). Result: The true individual seroprevalence was 37.7%. The seroprevalence at the herd level was 94.44% (95% CI). Gender (femelle) and age ( greater than 5 years) were identified as risk factors, also the presence of cats, rats and birds (p= 0.0001). Other risk factors were significant statistically: Herd size (less than 20 p= 0.001), type of food (pasture and concentrate p= 0.01), source of water (River p= 0.01), season (winter p= 0.01).

Published: January 2025

The variability in the shape of the alveolar arches is due to numerous etiological factors, which predetermines the methods of diagnosis and the choice of methods for modeling artificial dental arches in full removable dentures. Purpose. To determine the features of the diagnosis of unilateral narrowing of the superior alveolar arch and modeling of complete removable prostheses. Material and methods. The materials of the study are presented by a clinical case of a patient with unilateral narrowing of the upper jaw with the optimal size of the inferior alveolar arch. For diagnostics, a method for constructing geometric figures on scaled photographs of models of edentulous jaws is proposed. In particular, the parameters of the diagnostic triangle and the semi-ellipse made it possible to assess the deviation of the actual dimensions from the calculated indicators, taking into account the individuality of the dimensions of the gnathic part of the face. Results and discussion. The features of the shape and size of the alveolar arches in unilateral narrowing of the upper jaw determined the placement of artificial teeth along the midline of the alveolar ridge. At the same time, the shape of the dental arch did not correspond to the ellipse. The chewing teeth on the side of the narrowing of the upper jaw closed with the reverse overlap and the torchial values of the molars of the right and left sides were different. Conclusion. The results of the study made it possible to evaluate the modeling of artificial cross-occlusion with a change in the torque values of the molars on the side of the narrowing as an optimal occlusal equilibrium that provides a functional optimum of the masticatory apparatus in the complete absence of teeth in combination with unilateral narrowing of the upper jaw.

Published: January 2025

An algorithm for matrix convolution of the energy spectrum of multiple docking of ligands into relevant target proteins is presented. Using anxiolytic activity as an example, a matrix convolution of the energy spectrum of multi-target multiple docking into 22 convolutional variables was performed. Using the methods of ANOVA, discriminant analysis and neural network analysis, high statistical significance of using the obtained convolutional variables for assessing the integral multi-target affinity of ligands to a set of relevant biotargets was shown. As a result, a new method for constructing convolutional neural networks for in silico search for pharmacologically active substances based on matrix convolution of the energy spectra of multi-target multiple docking was developed.

One of the most common and at the same time controllable behavioral health risk factors is the nutrition factor. Materials and methods. Nutritional status was assessed in accordance with somatometric signs: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) index. The Dutch DEBQ questionnaire was used to evaluate the type of eating behavior (EB) and its assessment. Results. The features of nutrition have been established. A high prevalence of excess body weight was revealed among doctors of the second group (40–59 years old). 78.8 % of respondents had eating disorders with a predominance of external and restrictive types. Conclusion. The identified features of eating behavior of doctors, including emotionally dependent behavior, are more common among people in the older age group, which necessitates the use of psychological methods for its correction.

In the structure of comorbidity in patients with HIV infection, neoplasms of various forms occupy a significant place. According to the classification of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1993 (CDC), all MN in HIV infection are classified into malignant neoplasms that determine the stage of AIDS, the so-called AIDS-associated tumors (AAT) and AIDS-non-associated tumors (NAAT). To characterize the epidemiological and clinical morphological structure of comorbidity in HIV infection in combination with oncological diseases in the Volgograd region. We studied extracts from outpatient records, patient medical histories, histological examination protocols. The largest proportion of oncological pathology in HIV-infected persons in the Volgograd region is malignant neoplasms, which were detected in 73.7 % of patients (109 cases). The average median age in HIV-infected patients with neoplasms was 41.1 years, with a predominance of 57 % women. The most common malignant tumor is cervical cancer 17.4 %, which belongs to AIDS-associated tumors. Breast cancer 13.2 %, colorectal cancer 9.2 %, lung cancer 9.2 % are the most common among AIDS-unassociated tumors. It is necessary to continue the epidemiological, clinical and morphological analysis of malignant neoplasms in HIV-infected patients, taking into account the stages of diseases, the results of treatment, and therapeutic pathomorphosis, which will allow for the implementation of a multidisciplinary approach in the treatment and diagnostics of comorbid pathology.

A retrospective study was conducted on 97 lifetime coronary angiograms of elderly people without identified pathology of the coronary arteries. 35 archival records were reviewed in people with a normosthenic body type, and 31 coronary angiograms for each somatotype in hypersthenics and asthenics. The study selected coronary angiogram records of hearts with a right variant of coronary branching. The Pignet index was used to rank people according to body types. Morphometric indicators (diameter, length) were set in a special computer program RadiAnt DICOM Viewer, and the tortuosity coefficient was calculated using the capabilities of the Microsoft Excel computer program. It was determined that in people with a hypersthenic body type, the diameter of the initial section of the right marginal and posterior interventricular branches prevails over its values ​​​​in normosthenics and asthenics. The right marginal branch reaches its greatest length in the hearts of hypersthenics. It is noted that in people of all somatotypes, the tortuosity coefficient is greater in the right marginal branch compared to its value in the posterior interventricular branch. With all body types, minor tortuosity of the main branches of the right coronary artery is most often encountered. Expressed tortuosity of the right marginal and posterior interventricular branches is most rarely determined in asthenics and normosthenics.

A retrospective analysis of linear and angular parameters of dental and alveolar arches was carried out on 62 pairs of models of the upper and lower jaw with signs of physiological age norm. The construction of diagnostic triangles of dental and alveolar arches was carried out on photographs of jaw models obtained from plaster. The trusal index was determined through the ratio of the arc depth to its width. The central angle of the arcs was determined between the diagonals. It was found that for the mesotrusal type of the upper dental arches, the trusal index ranged from 0.64 to 0.72, and for the alveolar arches, the index ranged from 0.72 to 0.78 units. The value of the central angle of the upper dental triangle in the mesotrusive type of arches ranged from 70 to 74°, and the angle of the upper alveolar triangle in the same type of arch was 62–69°. A decrease or increase in the indicators determined the belonging of the arcs to the protrusive and retrusive variants.

En Afrique francophone, l'avenir forestier tropical se jouera dans le cadre du monde rural. On ne peut dissocier la forêt de son milieu naturel et de ses habitants
Authors: Catinot René
Published: January 2025

Les formations forestières disparaissent à une vitesse vertigineuse, tant dans les forêts denses et humides que dans les savanes. Prenant l'exemple de l'Afrique tropicale francophone, l'auteur estime que la cause est à rechercher principalement dans le besoin des ruraux de disposer de nouvelles terres, dont le défrichement fournit le bois de chauffe et le bois d'œuvre indispensables aux modes de vie traditionnels ; mais les abus qui en résultent et qui risquent de conduire à la disparition rapide du couvert forestier tropical proviennent principalement de la réglementation forestière en vigueur, qui dissocie les populations de la propriété de la forêt et les déresponsabilise ainsi.En conséquence, l'auteur propose d'entreprendre des opérations de reboisement à grande échelle, d'intégrer ces ruraux qui ont été les principaux agents de la destruction de la forêt naturelle et de leur donner la propriété majoritaire des forêts reconstituées dans un double objectif de protection (fertilité des sols recréée) et de production (bois comme source d'énergie, qui va devenir de plus en plus rare). L'accent est mis sur le rôle majeur que pourraient jouer à cet égard Acacia mangium, Acacia auriculiformis et Calliandra calothyrsus qui, dans les savanes sableuses de la zone forestière dense guinéenne et soudano-guinéenne, semblent répondre au double objectif ci-dessus et pouvoir fournir notamment, en ce qui concerne le bois-énergie, un nouveau type de production et une nouvelle source de revenus susceptibles d'impliquer définitivement les populations rurales dans les problèmes forestiers.Après avoir dressé un bilan technique et économique, l'auteur expose les grandes lignes de la stratégie de la mesure qu'il propose, en fonction des différentes situations, et décrit les méthodologies d'action correspondantes. A titre d'exemple, il esquisse une étude prospective des résultats à attendre de la nouvelle approche qu'il propose dans la zone sahélienne.
Polymorphisme enzymatique et variabilité génétique des provenances ivoiriennes et congolaises de Terminalia superba Engl. et Diels.
Authors: Vigneron Philippe
Published: January 2025

Le choix des provenances à utiliser pour les plantations, dans le cas d'une espèce largement répandue dans la quasi-totalité des forêts tropicales semi-décidues d'Afrique centrale et de l'Ouest, est sans aucun doute d'une importance primordiale pour la réussite des projets de reboisement. Le coût et la durée des essais imposent de recueillir un maximum d'informations avant toute prise de décision en la matière.La variabilité génétique des provenances de Terminalia superba récoltées par le C.T.F.T. en République de Côte d'Ivoire et en République Populaire du Congo a été étudiée à travers le polymorphisme des systèmes enzymatiques mis en évidence par électrophorèse. Il apparaît clairement que les provenances Fraké (Côte d'Ivoire) sont beaucoup plus polymorphes que les provenances Limba (Congo). Le nombre d'allèles par locus polymorphe et les taux d'hétérozygotie observés et attendus sont très différents pour ces deux groupes de population. Le taux moyen de différenciation génétique entre provenances est légèrement plus élevé en République populaire du Congo qu'en République de Côte d'Ivoire. C'est principalement le défaut d'hétérozygotie qui permet de relier nos observations à la structure spatiale des populations de Fraké et de Limba.Les études en cours peuvent permettre à court terme de mettre en place des essais comparatifs de provenances et, sur la base des distances génétiques, de sélectionner des croisements à tester en priorité.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui Pemidanaan dibawah batas ancaman minimal khusus Pasal 73 ayat (1) Undang-Undang Nomor 27 Tahun 2007 tentang pengelolaan wilayah pesisir dan pulau-pulau kecil. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian hukum normatif dengan sifat penelitian preskriptif. Pendekatan yang digunakan yaitu pendekatan undang-undang dan pendekatan konseptual. Jenis data yang digunakan adalah data sekunder meliputi bahan hukum primer dan bahan hukum sekunder. Teknik pengumpulan bahan hukum yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah studi kepustakaan. Teknik analisis bahan hukum dalam penelitian ini menggunakan metode silogisme yang menggunakan pola berpikir deduktif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Putusan Mahkamah Agung secara yuridis kurang tepat karena putusan tersebut menyimpangi batas minimum khusus yang telah ditentukan Undang-Undang, akan tetapi secara substansi dapat dibenarkan karena demi keadilan, namun seharusnya penjatuhan pidana didasarkan pada pasal yang didakwakan dan yang dianggap terbukti yaitu Pasal 35 huruf a,b dan d jo pasal 73 ayat (1) Undang-Undang No 27 tahun 2007 tentang pengelolaan wilayah pesisir dan pulau-pulau kecil. Dalam putusan tersebut kasus perkara menambang terumbu karang yang dapat menyebabkan kerusakan ekosistem terumbu karang dipidana 1 tahun penjara disertai dengan denda sebesar Rp 2.000.000.000 (dua milyar rupiah) dengan dengan ketentuan apabila tidak dapat membayar denda maka diganti dengan pidana penjara selama 2 bulan, dimana tertera dalam Undang Undang Nomor 27 tahun 2007 bahwa batas pidana minimum yakni 2 tahun penjara dan paling lama 10 tahun disertai dengan denda minimum Rp 2.000.000.000 dan denda maksimum Rp 10.000.000.000, hal tersebut menggambarkan bahwa adanya ketidakselarasan hukuman yang dijatuhi oleh hakim antara peraturan undang undang dengan putusan Nomor 73/PID.B/2017/PN Sit.

Relevance. Midfoot osteotomies are common surgical treatment option for the pes cavus in the presence of a deformity apex in the area of the Chopard joint. Most midfoot osteotomies require additional surgeries: release of the plantar fascia, tendon transfer, etc. Also, osteotomies have typical complications, such as nonunion of the osteotomy area, insufficient or excessive deformity correction. We used a new method for correcting the deformity of the pes cavus – removal of the navicular bone with wedge-shaped osteotomy of the cuboid bone.

Aim: analyze the results of a patient who underwent removal of the navicular bone with wedge osteotomy of the cuboid bone.

Object and methods. in 2020, we performed the correction of the pes cavus deformity by removing the navicular bone and wedge-shaped osteotomy of the cuboid bone. Clinical outcomes were assessed based on foot appearance, joint function, AOFAS scores, and radiographic findings. Results. Follow-up period was 36.8 months. The healing time was 6 weeks. After this surgical intervention, there was an improvement in functional results, as well as a good aesthetic result. At the last visit, the mean AOFAS score was 88/100. Meary angle, calcaneus angle and Hibb angle were close to normal and changed from 26° to 5°, from 44° to 28° and from 66° to 41°, respectively. In the other joints of the foot, no degenerative changes were  detected during  the  observation  period.  Subjectively,  the  patient  was satisfied with the results of the operation. Objective results were rated as excellent.

Conclusion. Removal of the navicular bone with cuboid wedge osteotomy is an effective surgery for pes cavus. When using this technique, the risk of developing arthrosis and stiffness of the adjacent joints is lower and there is no effect on the mobility of the ankle joint. Additional studies are required to investigate the safety of this technique, as well as to assess the long-term results of treatment.
