Authors: Архиереев Н.В.
Published: July 2023

Современные технологии внедряются повсеместно, не является исключением и сфера транспорта. Одной из наиболее популярных и обсуждаемых представляется технология искусственного интеллекта, способная упростить и решить ряд задач, с которыми общество сталкивается ежедневно. Несмотря на привлекательность использования таких систем, ряд проблем видится неизбежным, к числу которых относится высвобождение трудовых ресурсов, столкновение с ситуацией, при которой нужно осуществлять выбор искусственному интеллекту и многие другие. В настоящей статье автором предпринята попытка сформулировать предложения по развитию законодательства в части применения искусственного интеллекта в сфере транспорта в целях избежания обозначенных проблем.

Modern technologies are being introduced everywhere, and the transport sector is no exception. One of the most popular and discussed is artificial intelligence technology, which is able to simplify and solve a number of tasks that society faces on a daily basis. Despite the attractiveness of using such systems, a number of problems seem inevitable, including the release of labor resources, a collision with a situation in which artificial intelligence needs to make a choice. In this article, the author attempts to formulate proposals for the development of legislation regarding the use of artificial intelligence in the field of transport in order to avoid the identified problems.
DETERMINATION AND OPTIMIZATION OF CRUDE EXTRACELLULAR AMYLASE EXTRACTED FROM DIFFERENT BACILLUS SPECIES
Authors: M. Shaukat
Published: July 2023

Amylases are starch hydrolyzing enzymes and have commercial applications in different industries, such as food, fermentation, detergent and pharmaceuticals. In the current study amylases were extracted from bacteria found in kitchen wastes and rice fields. Isolates with maximum starch hydrolysis determined by the clear zones formation against blue background were selected and examined for further extracellular amylase activity. 16S rRNA gene sequencing confirmed these isolates as Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus sp. and Lysinibacillus sp. Highest dextrizing activity (83%)f and starch hydrolysis ratio (2.8) were shown by Bacillus subtilis G3. Furthermore optimum amylase activity was also checked at different temperatures, pH, media composition and substrate concentration. Optimum reaction temperature and pH for crude amylase activity from Bacillus subtilis G3 was 60°C -75°C and 9pH in minimal media supplemented with 0.1% soluble starch. Thin layer chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography were carried out to investigate the starch hydrolyzed products (glucose, maltose and maltosaccharides) produced by amylolytic action of amylase. In addition to it molecular weight of amylase was found to be about 68kDa as revealed by SDS PAGE analysis after acetone precipitation. These bacteria could be genetically manipulated for large scale enzyme production which can be ultimately used for commercial purposes.
African Media Coverage of NEPAD: Implications for Reporting Africa
Authors: Lilian Ndangam  , Andrew Kanyegirire
Published: July 2023

The New Partnership for Africa’s Development (NEPAD) has emerged in recent years as an African-owned development framework for the African continent. Despite its emphasis on sustainable development, democratic governance, regional integration and strategies to implement these, a major challenge for NEPAD remains the continent-wide knowledge and understanding of its agenda and initiatives. This baseline study examines African news media coverage of NEPAD in order to assess the extent and nature of media engagement with NEPAD. Based on a content analysis of coverage in African newspapers and news providers available through the online news portal Allafrica.com, the study provides an overview of NEPAD coverage from January to July 2005 in a sample of African countries. Findings show that coverage of NEPAD is event based and elitist with little consistent critical analysis of processes that underpin the NEPAD framework. Analyses of this nature provide insights into how African media are reporting and engaging the public with regard to this continent-wide development initiative. The implications of these findings are discussed with reference to ‘African journalism’.
Internet and Development in Senegal: Towards New Forms of Use
Authors: Christian Agbobli
Published: July 2023

This article addresses forms of Internet use within the framework of a developmentproject. Through use of a case study of four telecentres set up by the Acaciainitiative of Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC), thearticle presents the theoretical claims of Internet use for development anddetermines the impact of the Internet on members of Senegalese economic andpopular organisations. In this sense, the telecentre project reflects the tendencyof international development to regard the Internet as a new and efficient strategy.However, the article asserts that only concrete uses demonstrate the role of theInternet in development. Traditional Internet uses – electronic mail and navigation– do appear. However, the results show a broader dimension of use that includesthe appropriation of the telecentre itself and they advance the recognition ofthe presence of traditional communication as a complimentary element to Internetuse. The article concludes that the local context and culture must be integratedinto Internet use as a development strategy.

Safe evolution of smart contracts
Authors: Sampaio Augusto , Antonino Pedro , Ferreira Juliandson , Arruda Filipe , Roscoe A. W.
Published: July 2023

We present a framework that supports the safe deployment and upgrade of smart contracts based on the design-by-contract paradigm. The starting point is an interface specification with invariants and pre- and postconditions for each function. The first deployed smart contract must conform to this specification. Specification evolution might involve both changing the data representation as well as extending the interface with new functions, provided the evolved specification is a refinement of the original one. Implementation evolution must conform to the corresponding specification. We report on the applicability of the framework in the verification of smart contracts that implement some Ethereum standards.

Programação Super-Estruturada e o Gerador de Programas I-M-E
Authors: Setzer V. W.
Published: July 2023

Neste trabalho mostramos inicialmente porque a Programação Estruturada (PE) não resolveu os graves problemas da programação de computadores. Apresentamos uma nova estruturação de algoritmos, que denominamos Programação Super-Estruturada (PSE), de um nível de abstração muito mais alto que a PE, e que elimina a necessidade de se descrever detalhes necessários para o computador, mas que estão longe do problema que se quer resolver. A PSE pode ser usada tanto manualmente, como técnica de desenvolvimento “top-down” de programas e documentação, como automaticamente. Apresentamos caracteristicas do gerador de programas I-M-E, que emprega as estruturas da PSE e gera programas em Pascal, e mostramos também alguns resultados do uso manual do novo paradigma de programação em desenvolvimento de software básico. Como subproduto do projeto foi também implementado o pre-processador de Tabelas de Decisão DECIS, que gera Pascal e C, usado no caso manual. Ambos os produtos estão no domínio público.

Authors: Paspaltzis Vanessa Colla , Calheiros Alan James Peixoto
Published: July 2023

Este estudo utilizou a rede neural artificial LSTM para previsão de curto prazo da altura de ondas em região portuária, usando dados coletados in situ e de imagens de satélite. Em primeiro momento, foi realizada análise exploratória dos dados e verificada uma associação assíncrona entre altura de ondas, temperatura de brilho do topo das nuvens e intensidade dos ventos na área de estudo (Terminal da Unitapajos). Três experimentos foram realizados variando os parâmetros de entrada da rede neural artificial. Os resultados sugerem que tanto os dados de ventos como de temperatura de brilho no infravermelho podem ser usados como precursores de eventos de altura de ondas mais significativos no local, aumentando a precisão das previsões. No entanto, novos experimentos serão necessários para reduzir erros e gerar previsões com confiabilidade suficiente para as operações portuárias.
Biomarcadors paleoclimàtics a la conca de la Guaiana (Atlàntic tropical occidental)
Authors:   , Rama-Corredor Óscar
Published: July 2023

The main objective of this thesis is the study of a marine sediment core located in front of French Guiana (7°48’75’’N i 53°0’80’’W -1233m bsl and 39m length), in northern South America. The last 415,000 years were studied at high resolution by identification and quantification of organic fossil compounds.
Two types of biomarkers were used: continental (n-alkanes and n-alcohols) which are synthesized by higher plants and marine (C37 alkenones) which are synthesized by phytoplankton (some species of Hapthophyceae). The former provide information on precipitation and vegetation changes in the Amazon basin and the later show the sea surface temperatures variations in the studied area.
Despite being closer to equator, the Guiana region records perfectly the glacial/interglacial variations (last 4 cycles) and the submillennial variability, including the D-O and HE that are characteristic of the last glacial period.

En aquesta tesi doctoral s'estudia un testimoni marí recollit davant de les costes de la Guaiana francesa (7°48'75''N i 53°0'80''O, -1233m i 39m de llargada), a la regió tropical de Sud-Amèrica, àrea fins ara no considerada des de la perspectiva paleoclimàtica. L'estudi de compostos orgànics fòssils ha permès reconstruir el clima esdevingut durant els últims 415.000 anys. S'han fet servir dos tipus de biomarcadors: continentals (n-alcans i n-alcohols de cadena lineal) provinents de plantes superiors i marins (C37 alquenones) que sintetitzen algues (algunes espècies d'haptofícies). Els continentals donen informació sobre els canvis de precipitació i vegetació que hi ha hagut a la regió amazònica. Els marins donen informació sobre les variacions de temperatura superficial a l'oceà en l'àrea d'estudi. La regió de la Guaiana, tot i la proximitat a l'equador, registra perfectament els canvis glacials/interglacials al llarg dels últims 4 cicles climàtics. També permet observar els esdeveniments produïts a escala submil·lenària, inclosos els D-O i HE característics de l'últim període glacial.
Discrete volume method : a variational approach for brittle fracture
Authors:   , Cardoso Nungaray Víctor Eduardo
Published: July 2023

This thesis presents a proposal to simulate mechanics and dynamics of brittle fracture. A variational formulation is used to describe Lagrangian mechanics, by minimizing the difference between potential and kinetic energy of the system, obtaining a pair of partial differential equations; the solution of these equations corresponds to the displacement field and damage phase-field respectively. Such an equations are coupled in the sense that the damage field is used in the first equation and the displacement field is used in the second one.

In this work we propose a numerical method based on control volumes to solve the differential equations, extending the formulation to support the separation of control volumes, processing these volumes as discrete entities. This treatment results in accurate calculations of stress field and the nucleation of new internal fractures that can be propagated through domain creating multiple bifurcations.

To integrate equations inside control volumes we introduce a family of polynomial splines that we refer as homeostatic splines, since its derivatives are null at vertices with a smooth function variation between adjacent volumes. Furthermore, we propose a shape function with trigonometric components for dynamic analysis, allowing bigger time steps that with traditional approaches.

Finally, we perform ten numerical experiments to show the effectiveness of the method and to compare our results with those published by other authors.

La tesis presenta una propuesta para simular la mecánica y dinámica del fenómeno de fractura frágil. Se plantea una formulación variacional que consiste en minimizar la diferencia entre la energía potencial y la energía cinética del sistema, obteniendo así un par de ecuaciones diferenciales parciales, cuya solución corresponden al campo de desplazamientos y al campo de daño respectivamente. Estas ecuaciones están acopladas en el sentido de que el campo de daño se usa en la primera ecuación y el de desplazamientos en la segunda. En este trabajo se propone un método numérico basado en volúmenes de control para resolver las ecuaciones diferenciales, además el modelo se extiende para soportar la separación de los volúmenes de control, tratándolos posteriormente como entidades discretas, esto permite calcular con precisión el campo de esfuerzos y la aparición de fracturas internas que pueden propagarse a través del dominio y crear múltiples bifurcaciones. Para integrar las ecuaciones dentro de los volúmenes de control se introducen una familia de splines polinomiales, que se les refiere como splines homeostáticos, ya que sus derivadas son nulas en los vértices y el cambio de la función entre dos volúmenes contiguos es suave. Además, se propone una función de forma con componentes trigonométricas para el análisis dinámico, permitiendo pasos de tiempo más grandes que con enfoques tradicionales. Finalmente se realizan diez experimentos numéricos para mostrar la eficacia del método y contrastar los resultados con aquéllos publicados por otros autores.

bases primitivas da perversão e sua relação com o objeto aditivo
Authors: Katz Gildo
Published: July 2023

Neste trabalho, o autor, partindo de um exemplo clínico e das idéias de Freud sobre escolha de objeto anaclítica e auto-erotismo, examina as bases primitivas da perversão e sua relação com um objeto aditivo. Considera a forma preconceituosa com que a perversão é tratada em dicionários e por muitos autores psicanalíticos como um entrave para uma melhor compreensão deste problema clínico. Chama a atenção o fato de que tal conduta contradiz o esforço de Freud em descrever a perversão como um fenômeno que faz parte da personalidade normal e se constitui em uma etapa indispensável para o desenvolvimento psicossexual. Como conseqüência, o perverso corre o risco de ser visto pelo analista apenas como uma pessoa doente, agressiva e até má, por não conseguir realizar a união dos genitais em um ato que se designa coito. Além disto, o ato perverso pode ser a última barreira que defende o indivíduo de uma desintegração psíquica e, por essa razão, deveria ser tarefa indispensável avaliar como essa manifestação se insere na estrutura total da personalidade. Outro ponto desenvolvido pelo autor é o da origem das perversões. Para ele, acompanhando as idéias de Freud, as pulsões sexuais derivam da forma anaclítica das necessidades de autoconservação e devem por isto destacar-se, progressivamente, do objeto original real, a fim de atingir a satisfação auto-erótica, antes de chegar à escolha de objeto futuro. Isso acontece quando o indivíduo abandona o seio e começa a chupar o polegar. O autor acredita que é nessa passagem que pode estar o ponto de origem das perversões e que ela depende da impossibilidade da introjeção de um objeto prazeroso devido a conflitos na interação mãe-bebê. Como decorrência dessa falha, o bebê busca, compulsivamente, um objeto que, embora não proporcione internalizações por desaparecer logo que cumpre as suas finalidades, acalma o indivíduo tal como uma droga. Esse objeto é denominado de objeto aditivo. Finalmente, a partir da experiência clínica relatada e das considerações teóricas desenvolvidas, o autor pretende chamar a atenção para o fato de que um analista que não compreenda a complexidade do fenômeno perverso acaba funcionando como uma droga, como um objeto aditivo, que se constitui em uma réplica de um objeto do passado que o paciente procura, desesperadamente, no anseio de manter a sua integridade psíquica. Por essa razão, acredita, que no tratamento das perversões, a técnica deveria ser modificada no sentido de que a interpretação do que está sucedendo deva ser substituída por perguntas e assinalamentos, até que o paciente possa construir uma imagem interna de um objeto prazeroso.
O Casal que Formamos e os Parceiros que nos Habitam
Authors: Engelhard Suely
Published: July 2023

No trabalho com os casais em sofrimento, torna-se fundamental o terapeuta conseguir levá-los a distinguir o que lhes acontece por estarem indiferenciados e inconscientes de seus parceiros invisíveis internos. Por inconsciência, onde se busca enquadrar o outro nessa projeção, existem lealdades e triangulações que os impedem de construir uma comunicação clara e não fusionada, uma parceria verdadeira, com seu companheiro de vida. O uso de técnicas conjugadas da Terapia Familiar e da Psicologia Analítica, de Carl G. Jung, é um excelente recurso para o sistema terapêutico favorecer o projeto nós (casal) em se tornar mais fluido e mais capaz de lidar de modo simétrico entre seus componentes, constituindo um caminho de individuação e diferenciação para eles.

Published: July 2023

Introduction: Numerous studies reported that healthcare providers are not as effective in rendering high-quality CPR over time, despite receiving basic life support (BLS) or advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) training. Thus, to overcome the issue and develop a more feasible implementation of CPR training model, this study aims to identify the effectiveness of a modified conventional training (MT-CPR) method.
Method: This was an experimental study conducted to 72 healthcare providers in a teaching hospital in north Borneo. Subjects underwent MT-CPR and data were collected using a validated questionnaire and skills assessment checklist adopted from AHA (2020). Data then was analysed using Friedman, Wilcoxon and McNemar test aided with IBM’s Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) statistic software.
Result: This study reported that MT-CPR significantly improved the knowledge and skills on CPR (p-value: <0.001). However, the training module significantly incapable to retain the knowledge and skills as early as 3 months post initial MT-CPR (p-value: <0.001). There was a statistically significant difference between the MCQ test scores (pre-course, post-course, and post 3 months-course) with ꭓ2 (2) = 36.2 (2), p-value = <0.001. There is an association between post-course overall results and post 3 month overall results using McNemar test (p-value < 0.002).
Conclusion: Overall, this study indicated that modified CPR training (MT-CPR) were able to develop and improve the CPR knowledge and skill. The adaptation of conventional CPR training method seen effective as it has the capability for better engagement between trainer and participants.

Dune geometry and the associated hydraulic roughness at the transition from a fluvial to tidal regime at low river discharge

Published: July 2023

In deltas and estuaries throughout the world, a fluvial-to-tidal
transition zone (FTTZ) exists where both the river discharge and the
tidal motion drive the flow. It is unclear how bedform characteristics
are impacted by changes in tidal flow strength, and how this is
reflected in the hydraulic roughness. To understand bedform geometry and
variability in the FTTZ and possible impacts on hydraulic roughness, we
assess dune variability from multibeam bathymetric surveys, and we use a
calibrated 2D hydrodynamic model (Delft3D-FM) of a sand-bedded lowland
river (Fraser River, Canada). We focus on a period of low river
discharge during which tidal impact is strong. We find that the
fluvial-tidal to tidal regime change is not directly reflected in dune
height, but local patterns of increasing and decreasing dune height are
present. The calibrated model is able to predict local patterns of dune
heights using tidally-averaged values of bed shear stress. However, the
spatially variable dune morphology hampers local dune height
predictions. The fluvial-to-tidal regime change is reflected in dune
shape, where dunes have lower leeside angles and are more symmetrical in
the tidal regime. Those tidal effects do not significantly impact the
reach-scale roughness, and predicted dune roughness using dune height
and length is similar to the dune roughness inferred from model
calibration. Hydraulic model performance with a calibrated, constant
roughness is not improved by implementing dune-derived bed roughness.
Instead, large-scale river morphology may explain differences in model
roughness and corresponding estimates from dune predictors.

THE MODEL OF IMPLEMENTATION OF RELIGIOUS MODERATION IN MADRASAS AND ITS RELEVANCE TO THE THEORY OF SOCIAL CONSTRUCTION OF PETER L. BERGER (CASE STUDIES IN MADRASAH KEDIRI REGENCY, AND SURABAYA CITY)
Authors: Tutik Titik Triwulan , Aditoni Agus
Published: July 2023

This research is an Applied Research on National Strategic Studies, on the Implementation Model of Religious Moderation in Madrasahs by taking case studies in Surabaya City and Kediri Regency. Objectives of the activity: First, to analyze management patterns in implementing religious moderation in madrasas. Second, analyze the application of subject teacher learning in implementing religious moderation in madrasas for their students. Third, describe the obstacles faced by madrasa institutions in implementing religious moderation. The research design is designed as a field research design in which the researcher will conduct observations and interviews with the respondents, on the issues raised. These findings will be analyzed using the social construction theory of Peter L. Berger. The results of the study show: First, the management pattern in implementing religious moderation in madrasas begins with determining the vision and mission of the madrasa, and preparing the madrasa work program which is documented in the Madrasah Strategic Plan (Resntra), Madrasah Work Plan, Annual Activity Plan, Madrasah Activity Plan and Budget, and Madrasah Curriculum. Second, Madrasas in implementing religious moderation generally use three patterns, namely: (1) integrating in the learning process; (2) habituation activities; (3) through extracurricular. Based on the implementation model of religious moderation at the madrasah, it can generally be concluded that these patterns are by Peter L. Berger's Social Construction Theory, namely the existence of stages in implementation such as the preparation of vision and mission, work programs, and habituation to the institution (process externalization), implementation of vision and mission, work programs, and habituation to madrasas (objectification process), and a correct understanding of moderation and implementation in everyday life both in the school, home, and community environment (internalization process).Based on the findings/results of the research, the suggestions/recommendations that can be given are: (1) there needs to be socialization, workshops, technical guidance, training on religious moderation for all educators and education personnel in Madrasahs in order to create a unified insight; (2) The government in this case the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia needs to provide a separate budget related to religious moderation activities, especially in madrasas so that activities can be carried out massively, systematically, and structured from the central level to the madrasa level; and (3) Madrasahs need to coordinate with parents through the madrasa committee, and carry out MoUs with stakeholders such as national private companies through CSR programs in implementing religious moderation in madrasas, so that activities can be carried out massively and planned
Students with learning disabilities’ mental health Enhancement: The relationship of learning disabilities and emotional difficulties, and the role of ICTs
Authors: Agathi Stathopoulou  , Anastasia Karathanasi
Published: July 2023

In the present work, in order to investigate the relationship between learning and emotional difficulties, the method of literature review was used. In particular, the questions that this research was required to answer were about whether children with learning difficulties are at a greater risk of manifestating emotional difficulties, but also to identify the emotional difficulty that is responsible for the most common learning disability in this particular group of students. For this purpose, a research of both international and Greek articles, older and more recent ones, was conducted depending on scientific journals, bibliographies and field research. The results of the research show that these students are actually at a greater risk of developing emotional difficulties. In fact, research has shown that loneliness, depression, anxiety and low self-esteem can affect these children and their academic performance. In conclusion, it was found that the sense of failure that these students feel also affects their emotional balance.

Since the days of the kingdom, the Kediri area has been inhabited by people from various ethnic groups, languages, religions, and beliefs. It also includes many places of worship such as mosques, churches, pagodas, temples, studios and Islamic boarding schools. The existence of these places of worship not only shows the level of plurality and tolerance of its citizens, this process also occurs over a long period of time. This study aims to reveal more deeply about the model of social integration carried out by the people of Kediri in the midst of dynamics and changes that continue to occur. This research was conducted using a qualitative method, using a case study approach in Kediri. Data was collected by using observation and interview methods and using relevant document sources. From these data, analysis and interpretation of the selected data is then carried out, to then draw a conclusion. Furthermore, the writing and construction of research results are carried out. The results of this study indicate that social integration in the Kediri community has been created in three forms of community social life, namely in the fields of slametan rituals, traditional arts and inter-religious relations. The three forms turned out to be able to become a binder for other social systems, even bridging interactions between actors and uniting them in a shared social system. The social integration model used in building social harmony is the proceduralist model and the assimilationist model.
El teatro palpable: estrategias queer de resistencia contra la toponormatividad
Authors: Fanlo Isaias
Published: July 2023

This article departs from a critical approach to what I call the antierotic turn within Queer Studies —which, in the last years, seems to have left aside debates addressing eroticism, physicality and desire to focus on a different set of questions that go beyond sexuality. The text offers a conciliation between these post-erotic debates and the original physical approach of queer epistemologies through the analysis of theatrical and performative events that have recently taken place in non-conventional spaces in several Spanish cities, as a response to the economic crisis that the country has suffered since 2008. The article suggests the concept toponormativity as a term that addresses non-normative occupations of spaces and addresses how theatrical and performative pieces can question the aforementioned toponormativity and propose different ways to understand and occupy urban spaces

Earnings management is a practice used by businesses to enhance financial statements over time. The purpose is to attract the attention of users of financial statements to make decisions on investing and granting credit. Therefore, the aim of this study is to determine whether independent commissioners, independent audit committee, audit committee expertise, activity audit committee, size audit committee, leverage, and firm size affect earnings management. This study uses non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2018-2020 period as research objects. The sample selection method used is purposive sampling. The results of this study indicate that leverage and firm size have a positive effect on earnings management. The higher the leverage, the higher the risk of default on the debt owned by the company, among other things because there is an element of uncertainty in business conditions. This is avoided by investors and is a factor that causes the company's management to practice profit management to beautify its financial reports company size has a positive effect on earnings management because large companies will tend to carry out earnings management so that the company is still considered good by investors. While independent commissioners, audit committee size, audit committee independence, audit committee expertise, and audit committee activities have no effect on earnings management.
Current Issues of the Biomedical Ethics in the U.S.A.
Authors: UM Young-Rhan
Published: July 2023

The author describes institutionalized ethics and the clinical application of biotechnology and ethics as important biomedical issues in the United States. Institutionalized ethics refers that ethics is integrated into practices such as guidelines set by the Institutional Ethics Committee(IEC) and the Institutional Review Board (IRB). These organizations have been in existence since 1970s. Some bioethicists now criticize the roles and activities of IEC and BRB. Activities of EC are evaluated on a regular basis as a part of accreditation process for healthcare. Education plays an important role in strengthening the institutionalization of ethics.
The deciphering of the human genome inspires hopes to prevent and conquer incurable diseases. However, revealing personal genetic information presents ethical problems when biotechnology is applied clinically. The "Nash case" was a typical example of such implication when the pre-implantation genetic diagnosis(PGD) was practiced along with in-vitro fertilization(IVF) in which a baby was created as a healthy umbilical-cord blood donor to its sibling. The "Burlington Northern Santa Fe Corp. case" has been criticized as potential discrimination of employees by a genetic screening test. Both cases are exemplary in dealing with such questions as how should the biotechnology be applied to enhance human health and happiness without harming personal dignity.

The basis and conditions of justified withdrawing or withholding of persistence-treatment
Authors: YU Ho-Jong
Published: July 2023

Withholding or withdrawing of persistence-treatment for the terminally ill treatment can be justified in some cases, since there are patients who believe that their life would be more good if the treatment is stoped. Their viewpoints of values must be esteemed.
Therefore a justifying condition of withholding or withdrawing of the treatment is that the terminal patients want it themselves. But whether it is another justifying condition or not that the persistence-treatment gives so much spiritual, economical burdens on others as the patient's family, depends on people's consensus.
