The Correlation Between the Concepts of Amicable Settlement and Amicable Adjustment
Authors:   Postgraduate Student of the Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, Yaminov Kiril G.
Published: November 2021

The institution of a settlement agreement has many advantages over a court decision, where the dispute is resolved by mutually agreeing terms through mutual concessions. The execution of a settlement agreement involves the voluntary fulfillment of its terms. Compulsory execution of the terms of a settlement agreement is a kind of protective boundary between the parties in the event that one of them does not comply with the conditions approved by the court. The approval of an amicable agreement significantly saves time both for the court and for the parties, and with this it is possible for the parties to maintain partnerships. Speaking about the correlation of the terms “world deal” and “amicable agreement”, it is quite important for protecting rights and legitimate interests. There are two approaches to the relationship between the terms “world deal” and “settlement”.

Guarantees for the protection of the right to housing in sectoral legislation
Authors:   Senior Researcher of the Institute of State and Law of the Russian Academy (Sciences of the Civil law sector, Law Sector, Civil and Arbitration Procedure) PhD (Law), Pushkina Anna V.
Published: November 2021

The author analyzes the meaning of the term ‘housing’ in doctrine, in sectoral legislation, in international documents on human rights, in decisions of intergovernmental organizations. It is concluded that the unequal meaning of the concept of ‘housing’ in various branches of law is one of the most important guarantees for the protection of the right to housing. If it is necessary to provide protection for the inviolability of the home, then the criminal and criminal procedure legislation enshrines the broadest possible meaning of this term. And if the housing legislation aims to improve the living conditions of citizens, then in the interests of the population, on the contrary, to narrow the meaning of this term.

„Generation Greta“– Herausforderungen für Religionsunterricht und Schule im Kontext eines Whole Institution Approach (WIA)
Authors: Birkel Simone
Published: November 2021

Weltweit hat sich eine Jugendbewegung rund um die Identifikationsfigur Greta Thunberg etabliert, die engagiert und durchsetzungsstark eine nachhaltige Lebensweise einfordert. Ihr Widerstand gegen traditionelle Strukturen fordert auch Verantwortliche für religiöse Bildung heraus, nach alternativen und zukunftsfä­higen Wegen zu suchen, die den Religionsunterricht sinnstiftend und zielführend in den Bildungsdiskurs für Nach­haltige Entwicklung einbindet. Ausgehend von der Werteprägung der Generation Z und dem ganzheitlichen An­satz eines Whole Institution Approachs (WIA) werden Bedingungen religiöser Bildung diskutiert, die klassische Unterrichtsmuster sprengen. Chancen bieten hier reformpädagogische Elemente, wie der Vernetzte Unterricht oder die Freie Stillarbeit, die insbesondere in kirchlichen Schulen der Marchtaler-Plan-Ausrichtung bereits erprobt wer­den.
Religiöse Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung
Authors: Bederna Katrin
Published: November 2021

Das zentrale Problem der durch Klimawandel, Artensterben und andere Überschreitungen der planetaren Grenzen notwendig gewordenen ökologischen Transformation ist kein technisches. Es ist kulturell, denn das Wissen um die drohenden und bereits eingetretenen Gefahren und um die Wege, diese abzuwenden, reicht offensichtlich nicht aus. Nötig ist, die Kluft zwischen Wissen und Handeln zu überbrücken. Die diesbezügli­chen Möglichkeiten des Religionsunterrichts sind begrenzt, doch vorhanden. Im Beitrag wird ein didaktisches Mo­dell religiöser Bildung für nachhaltige Entwicklung (rBNE) entfaltet, das auf die Stärkung von Willen und Hand­lungsfähigkeit zur Überwindung der ökologischen Krise zielt, ausgewählte religionsdidaktische Ansätze und Lern­formen für rBNE fruchtbar macht und Frank Brosows DNA-Matrix des Philosophierens kritisch rezipiert.

Authors: Alter Thomas D. , Wichman Daniel M. , Knapik Derrick M. , Bessa Felipe S. , Nho Shane J.
Published: November 2021

Case:

A 32-year-old woman presented with worsening right anterior hip pain, reduced hip flexion strength, and passive range of motion during hip flexion. Magnetic resonance imaging of the hip demonstrated a prominent lesser trochanter and localized fluid signal intensity at the iliopsoas bursa. The patient underwent endoscopic iliopsoas bursectomy and lesser trochanterplasty, reporting improvement in all clinical outcome scores at 1-year follow-up.

Conclusion:

Lesser trochanter morphology should be evaluated in patients presenting with iliopsoas bursitis. In patients failing to respond to conservative management, endoscopic iliopsoas bursectomy and lesser trochanterplasty may address pain and functional limitations.
Postoperative Pyoderma Gangrenosum After Thoracolumbar Spinal Fusion with Instrumentation
Authors: Bellamy J. Taylor , Ananthakrishnan Dheera
Published: November 2021

Case:

A 65-year-old man with scoliosis underwent posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation from T4 to pelvis and subsequently developed wound complications eventually diagnosed to be secondary to postoperative pyoderma gangrenosum (PPG). Once immunosuppressant medications were initiated, the wound gradually improved and went on to heal after a prolonged period of wound care.

Conclusion:

Postoperative PG is a challenging problem for the orthopaedic surgeon; a multidisciplinary approach is beneficial. Early recognition of the diagnosis is imperative to limit morbidity because debridements for a presumed infectious etiology are likely to exacerbate the disease through a process called pathergy.

Introduction: Around the world, almost half of all deaths in children under five occur in the newborn period. Ninety-nine percent of newborn deaths are in low- and middle-income countries and prematurity, intrapartumrelated neonatal deaths (‘birth asphyxia’), sepsis and meningitis account for 75% of these1. Developmental disability is a diverse group of chronic conditions that are due to mental or physical impairments that arise before adulthood. Developmental disabilities cause individuals living with them many difficulties in certain areas of life, especially in “language, mobility, learning, self-help, and independent living”2. Aim of Study: To analyze the impact of family centered-approach on child’s development outcomes. To quantify and validate the advantages of family-centered- approach for parents and children. Method: A low-cost, family-centered intervention programme to promote child and family wellbeing is provided at an Early Intervention Centre in Latika Roy Foundation, Dehradun, India. It follows a familycentered approach of empowering families through respect, collaboration, information, training and support. The effectiveness of this methodology is evaluated in this study. Discussion: This study evaluates the effectiveness of this family-centred interventions programme, provided by early intervention Centre, for improving development outcomes of high-risk infants. This study explores, for the first time in a resource limited country, the relationship between the reduction of family stress achieved through a family empowerment programme and improvement in development outcomes of high-risk children. Families of High-risk infants enrolled at the Centre during January 2015 through July 2017, who were in NICU for 5 or >5 days are partners in the study. Conclusion: The importance of family-centred care cannot be over-emphasized. Early intervention services and support to families can significantly improve quality of life of high-risk children. Intervention studies for children with disability state that the best way of improving children’s outcomes is by empowering parents through a structured learning programme. Given the scope and potential of such programs, this study quantifies and validates the advantages of the family-centred approach.

Published: November 2021

Previous studies have done more research on the relationship between carbon emission reduction, energy consumption and economic growth in specific countries or regions, which rarely consider the issue of heterogeneity between countries or regions, and also lack the refinement of energy consumption categories. Using panel data from 2000 to 2017,this paper divided the top 28 global carbon emission countries into developed countries and developing countries, and explores cointegration and causality between renewable energy consumption,non-renewable energy consumption, economic growth and carbon emission. Results suggested that there is a two-way causal relationship between carbon emissions and economic growth in all economies. There is a two-way causal relationshipbetween economic growth in developed countries and consumption of renewable and non-renewable energy, while there is no significant relationship between economic growth and energy consumption in developing countries. There is a two-way causal relationship between carbon emissions and renewable energyin all economies, but there are significant differences; there is a two-way causal relationship between carbon emissions in developed countries and non-renewable energy, and only one-way causality exists in developing countries.

Authors: Pan Yuting , Wang ZhiKuan , Dai Guanghai
Published: November 2021

Background The application of immunotherapy is gradually increasing in advanced gastric cancer (AGC), but only some patients could benefit from it. Validated biomarkers can screen out the beneficiaries. The objective of this research is to explore the predictive value of albumin and neutrophil combined prognostic grade ( ANPG) in AGC patients receiving immunotherapy. Methods A total number of 268 AGC patients were included. The cut-off value of albumin was 38 g/L obtained by the median value, and neutrophil was 4.16 g/L estimated by the average value. The high levels of albumin (≥38 g/L) and neutrophil (≥4.16 g/L) were considered to be two risk factors for ANPG. Based on these two risk factors, patients were categorized into 3 groups：the risk factor number for the "good" group was 0, for the "intermediate" group was 1, and for the "poor" group was 2. Results Patients with the good ANPG was related to longer progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), compared to those with the intermediate and the poor ANPG (5.6 months vs 5.3 months vs 3.4 months, 17.8 months vs 11.8 months vs 8.2 months). The poor group was independently correlated with an over 1.9 times risk of disease progression (HR=1.901; 95% CI, 1.314-2.750; P=0.001) and an over 2 times risk of death (HR=2.003; 95% CI, 1.306-3.072; P=0.001) than the good group. The intermediate group was independently correlated with an over 1.3 times risk of disease progression (HR=1.385; 95% CI, 1.004-1.911; P=0.048) and an over 1.4 times risk of death (HR=1.484; 95% CI, 1.046-2.106; P=0.027) than the good group. Conclusion Our study verifies, for the first time, that ANPG is an independent factor affecting survival of AGC patients receiving immunotherapy. Patients with the good ANPG could benefit from immunotherapy.

Many versions of Thermodynamic Uncertainty Relations (TUR) have recently been discovered, which impose lower bounds on relative fluctuations of integrated currents in irreversible dissipative processes, and suggest that there may be fundamental limitations on the precision of small scale machines and heat engines. In this work we rigorously demonstrate that TUR can be evaded by using dynamic protocols that are asymmetric under time-reversal. We illustrate our results using a model heat engine using two-level systems, and also discuss heuristically the fundamental connections between TUR and time-reversal symmetry.

Electrolytic manganese residue (EMR) is a common industrial solid waste. The ammonia and manganese components contained in it will pollute the soil environment and have potential risks to human health. Under the premise of investigating the production of electrolytic manganese slag and conventional processes, it is found that the traditional harmless treatment methods of electrolytic manganese slag are still mainly lime solidification, cement solidification, and fly ash solidification, and the resource utilization directions such as cement, concrete, non-sintered bricks, road bases, etc. are mainly used. But, EMR contains ammonia nitrogen, and manganese (prone to leaching) that difficult to meeting environmental protection requirements by using general cement cementitious material solidification. Therefore, this study focused on manufacturing new eco-friendly bricks with EMR using calcination process. Specifically, the physical performance and environmental characterization of the sintered bricks were investigated. Furthermore, the sintering behavior and crystallization of all bricks containing EMR were studied using XRD, FT-IR, and SEM. The results showed the EMR leaching solution contained 1256 mg/L and 8120 mg/L of ammonia nitrogen and manganese, respectively, both of them exceeds Chinese standards (GB 8978-1996). Because of EMR is rich in Fe2O3 and K2O, it greatly promotes particle rearrangement and transfer in the EMR system, reducing the sintering temperature. The compressive strength, leaching performance and radioactivity of sintered bricks with EMR all met the state standard requirement for "sintered common bricks" (GB/T 5101-2017) and (GB 8978). The product can be used as bricks of MU20 grade of Chinese standard. The study provides an effective method for the safe and environmentally friendly disposal of EMR.

BackgroundIdiopathic granulomatous mastitis (IGM)is characterized by non-caseating granuloma and microabscess formation limited to mammary gland lobules. It is a form of chronic mastitis of unknown pathogenesis. In this study, we aimed to compare the effectiveness of intralesional steroid injection with topical steroids versus systemic steroid therapy in the treatment of IGM. MethodsBetween June 2017 and December 2020, the patients were collected and assessed. IGM was diagnosed histopathologically by tru-cut biopsy in patients with breast mass, pain, and erythema with suspicion of IGM. Included in the study were one hundred and eleven patients who were diagnosed with IGMand who were treated with local or oral administration of corticosteroids, with at least 6 months of follow-up. The patients were divided into 2 groups: a local corticosteroid treatment group (LC, group 1, n=57); and a peroral corticosteroid treatment group (OC, group 2, n=54). Demographic characteristics, treatment responses, recurrence rates, side effects of the steroid, and the need for surgery were compared.ResultsWhile the rate of smoking was 12.3% in the LC group, was 20.4% in the OC group. There was no history of oral contraceptive use in either group of patients. Previous steroid use was significantly lower in the LC group (10.5%) compared to the OC group (55.6%) (p = 0.001). Previous antibiotic use was significantly lower in the LC group (75.4%) compared to the OC group (100%) (p = 0.001). When complete and partial responders were grouped as “responders,” 96.5% in the LC group and 75.9% in the OC group responded after the first course of treatment (p=0.001). 98.2% in the LC group and 87.0% in the OC group were complete responders after the third course of treatment (p=0.003). While 7% of the patients in the LC group had recurrence, 37% in the OC group had recurrence (p=0.001). Steroid-related side effects were lower in the LC group (no) compared to the OC group (11.1%) (p=0.010). Surgery was performed in 3.5% of the LC group, while surgery was performed in 57.3% of the OC group (p=0.001). ConclusionSteroid injection is an IGM treatment with proven efficacy, short response time, low recurrence rate, and lower need surgery. The treatment is easy to administer and minimizes the risk of systemic side effects. Even in clinically severe cases, we believe that steroid injection might be used as monotherapy, or in combination with other therapies, to improve treatment efficacy and create a transition to less aggressive treatments.

Background: Availability of biaxial mechanical data for heart myocardia remains high in demand for the development of accurate and detailed computational models. Lack of accurate mechanical data for myocardia may delay the understanding of heart diseases mechanisms. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop understanding of the regional difference of wall mechanics using rat heart in the left ventricle (LV), septal wall (STW) and right ventricle (RV). This was achieved by conducting a biaxial test on three rat heart myocardia (i.e LV, RV and STW). To select the best hyperelastic model that may be utilised for the development of computational models of the heart, the Fung, Choi-Vito, Polynomial (Anisotropic), Four-Fiber family, Holzapfel (2000) and Holzapfel (2005) hyperelastic models were selected and fitted on the biaxial data of the LV, RV and STW. Results: The best hyperelastic model was selected based on evaluation index (EI) which utilises the Coefficient of Determination (R2). All the six hyperelastic constitutive models were then compared in all three rat heart myocardia. The results show that the Polynomial (Anisotropic) model outperforms the other five models in all myocardial tissues with EI’s above 90 %. The Four-fiber-family and the two Holzapfel models perform equally in the LV and STW myocardial tissue with EI of 50 and 70 %, respectively. Conclusions: The Fung and Choi-Vito models yielded poor goodness of fit in the LV and STW myocardial tissues. The results presented here will be useful for detailed development of accurate computational models studying mechanisms of cardiovascular diseases.

Background: Pseudocirrhosis is an imaging finding of malignancies with liver metastasis with or without clinical liver cirrhosis–related complications such as portal hypertension (pHTN). This study compared the outcomes of metastatic breast cancer in patients with imaging-diagnosed pseudocirrhosis with or without pHTN. Methods: The medical records from patients with metastatic breast cancer and pseudocirrhosis between 2005 and 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical pHTN was defined based on endoscopic evidence of esophageal or gastric varices. Results: Among 106 patients with pseudocirrhosis, 33 (31%) had de novo stage IV disease, and 66 (62%) had hormone receptor (HR)–positive and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)–negative breast cancer. In total, 81 (76%) had initial metastases in both hepatic lobes, 91 (86%) had 4 or more liver metastases, and 32 (30%) had pHTN. The median overall survival (OS) was 5 and 13 months in patients with and without pHTN, respectively (p = .002). The median OS in patients with HER2-positive, HR-positive/HER2-negative, and triple-negative breast cancer was 16, 9, and 2 months, respectively (p = .001). Patients with pHTN generally had cirrhotic complications, including gastrointestinal bleeding, hyperbilirubinemia, hyperammonemia, and coagulopathy. Despite their challenging clinical conditions, 7 patients with pHTN had OS exceeding 1 year. In multivariate analysis, pHTN (p = .007) and triple-negative breast cancer (p = .013) were associated with poor OS. Conclusions: For patients with pseudocirrhosis, clinical pHTN was associated with liver cirrhosis–related complications and shorter median OS. A few patients with pHTN had prolonged OS with effective systemic treatment and aggressive supportive care.
