Validity of legal norms with special reference to Kelsen's general theory of law
Authors: Pajić-Šavija Sandra
Published: February 2024

The term validity of legal norms usually means the obligation of legal norms for entities whose behavior is regulated by a legal norm. In legal theory, the concept of validity of law is used in a different sense. Kelzen's idea of the validity of law stems from his so-called gradation theory according to which each legal norm is valid on the basis of an immediately higher legal norm, while at the head of the hierarchy is the constitution as the highest legal norm, which bases its validity on the assumed norm. According to Kelzen, a legal norm derives its validity, that is, its obligation, not from its content but from its form. In this sense, legal norms are valid because they are ideally obligatory, regardless of the fact whether subjects are familiar with them and their content. Kelzen puts special emphasis on distinguishing the validity of law from the efficacy of law. While the validity of law means that legal norms are mandatory, that is, that subjects should behave in the manner described in the norm itself, the effectiveness of law means that the addressees actually behave in the manner prescribed by the legal norm. However, although Kelsen separates the validity and effectiveness of a legal norm, he still believes that there is a connection between validity and effectiveness because only an effective norm is considered valid.
The role of concentration camps in suppressing the uprising in Serbia in 1941
Authors: Koljanin Milan
Published: February 2024

The internment of tens of thousands of people in the newly created network of permanent and temporary camps was an important integral part of actions of the occupation forces in Serbia during the suppression of mass insurgent movement in the summer and autumn of 1941. The main purpose of these camps was to be a reservoir of people to be shot for the German losses in the battles with the insurgents in the proportion of 100 for one killed, or 50 for a wounded German soldier or Volksdeutsche. The network of permanent camps consisted of camps at Banjica in Belgrade, Šabac and Niš. For the territory of Banat, a camp was formed in Veliki Bečkerek (today Zrenjanin), ending the formation of a network of permanent camps. They also served as a place of internment of hostages, real or potential opponents of the occupation, but also some other categories of men and women. Starting from April 1942, permanent camps in Serbia were given the function of a source for forced labor in concentration and labor camps in Germany or in occupied countries, including Serbia itself. The main role was played by the camp at the Belgrade Fair and the camp at Banjica, where detainees from other camps were sent for forced labor. This was also the result of a change in policy towards captured insurgents and their sympathizers, which was a reflection of the growing need of the German war economy for labor. In May 1942, the role of the central German camp in Serbia was taken over by the camp at the Belgrade Fair, now under the name Anhaltelager Semlin (Prihvatni logor Zemun). Temporary camps served almost exclusively for the internment of captured members of the insurgent movement, their sympathizers, civilian population and as a source of people for mass shootings. Among temporary camps, the most important were the Transit Camp in the barracks on Senjak, in Šabac and the Jewish Transit Camp Topovske Šupe (Cannon Sheds) in Belgrade. The second camp served exclusively as a source of Jews and Roma for mass shootings and was the main and largest reservoir of these categories of prisoners. The camp ceased to exist at the time of the formation of the Jewish Camp Zemun, which, after the killing of the Jewish prisoners, became the central German camp in occupied Serbia.
Slovenian Partisan resistance of 1941
Authors: Torkar Blaž
Published: February 2024

The Liberation Front of the Slovene Nation, in which the leading role was assumed by the Communist Party of Slovenia, defined armed resistance against the occupation forces in the Slovenian territory as a path towards national liberation and unification with the ethnic territories that formed a part of the German and Italian states. The first, smaller, resistance activities were recorded shortly after the occupation of Dravska Banovina, when the preparations for an uprising or its beginning sporadically sprouted both within and out of the Communist Party of Slovenia. The German attack on the Soviet Union added fuel to the resistance movement, which began to develop actively in July 1941. This brought an end to a period of chaos within the Communist Party of Slovenia, when the leadership and most of the members opted for resistance. At the time, 41 company-level units were formed with a strength of 15-50 Partisans. They were poorly armed and used guerrilla tactics, but, nonetheless, attempted to carry out a couple of larger actions, such as an action to prevent the expulsion of the Slovenian population. The organizers of the resistance movement sought to encourage a wider uprising of the Slovenian population, which succeeded on a larger scale for the first time in December 1941 in the Upper Carniola region.

UNRWA as Sui Generis
Authors: Shehabi Omar Yousef
Published: February 2024

Since UNRWA preemptively disclosed Israel’s claim to have evidence that 12 UNRWA employees participated in the 7 October 2023 attacks, at least 16 donor states and the European Union, which collectively supply the vast majority of the Agency’s budget, have suspended their contributions. This poses an existential threat to UNRWA, the largest provider of humanitarian assistance in Gaza. This post explains how the current episode displays the unsatisfactory sui generis status of UNRWA’s Palestinian staff, and forms part of an ongoing and largely successful attempt to position UNRWA as a compromised, sui generis UN organisation which constitutes an outlier in the law and practice of the United Nations.

Published: February 2024

The Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) plays a vital role in numerous smart city applications, particularly in improving transportation and commuting processes. A primary goal of ITS is to tackle traffic-related challenges, especially the issue of traffic congestion. The prediction system for road traffic flow has significant relevance in urban transportation and area management. Many urban centers grapple with the daunting task of effective traffic management. However, the incorporation of predictive modeling that considers environmental and weather conditions, such as rainfall and thunderstorms, has proven to be remarkably effective. In response to this challenge, we have introduced a road traffic flow prediction model specifically designed to forecast traffic conditions at hourly intervals extending up to 24 hours. Although various algorithms have been applied in previous research, there is a notable absence of accessible and user-friendly platforms dedicated to road traffic flow prediction.

Published: February 2024

It was difficult to hold the international world, led by Boutros-Ghali, accountable for starting the Rwandan genocide, which was fueled by vile propaganda and the residual anger of the past that the prime minister's assassination had stoked. However, the UN might be held accountable for ignoring its obvious warning signals. The notorious "genocide fax" was sent to UN headquarters in January by General Romeo Dallaire, the Canadian commander of the tiny international peacekeeping force stationed in Rwanda. He alerted readers about the Hutu junta's intentions to "register all Tutsi" in order to get ready "for their extermination." Gen. Dallaire asked for permission to raid weapons caches that might end up in the hands of Hutus and facilitate their murderous plans in order to stop the carnage. At the time, Kofi Annan led UN peacekeeping efforts. refused his request, citing the need for the blue helmets to maintain their neutrality. The UN would turn a blind eye to the Rwandan situation, just like Pilate did, and genocide would ensue. To address this gap in action, the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) protocol was created, outlining a series of situations in which the UN can and ought to step in. The R2P protocol's development is the topic of this study. The topic of the UN is then examined, with a focus on the organization's capacity to deal with violations of human rights. Using Rwanda as a case study, the Responsibility to Protect protocol is discussed along with the difficulties Rwanda faces in applying international humanitarian law. Given this, the creation of the R2P protocolis reviewed, including background information and contemporary implications. A summary of the key ideas and issues covered in this research work is provided in the conclusion

Published: February 2024

Even in this era of advanced technology, physicians still encounter challenges in accurately identifying skin diseases. Severe skin conditions necessitate urgent hospitalization, yet the diagnostic process involves costly tests with delayed results, exacerbating the worsening of infections. In rural areas, patients often ignore initial symptoms due to limited medical services, allowing conditions to progress unchecked. This underscores the pressing need for highly accurate automated skin disease detection systems. In response to this demand, we developed a multiclass convolutional neural network model aimed at discerning between healthy and diseased skin. Employing Python, we constructed a program utilizing this convolutional neural network with pre-trained networks- AlexNet and VGG19 to address the issue effectively. The primary objective of our project was to categorize five different skin illnesses using input images. By providing our model with pictures of affected skin regions, we aimed to detect ailments like Eczema, Nail fungus, Melanoma, Bullous, and Vascular Tumor. Upon processing the input image, our model would accurately identify and output the specific illness affecting the skin. This streamlined approach significantly aids in timely and accurate diagnosis, crucial for early intervention and treatment of various skin conditions

Published: February 2024

Vaccination against COVID-19 is a global government program with the goals of reducing the spread of the virus, lowering the number of cases of COVID-19-related illnesses and deaths, and ultimately protecting communities from the disease so that they can continue to thrive socially and economically. A person's level of support from their family is one of the numerous aspects that affects their willingness to get a vaccine. In the island region of Indonesia, this study set out to examine the relationship between family support and the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine. The study in question is a correlational one. From February to July of 2022, researchers scoured Sangihe and Talaud Islands. Three hundred and fifty-nine adults (aged 18 and up) participated in the study. Support from family members and willingness to get a vaccine were the factors examined in this research. Specifically, a questionnaire is utilized. The chi-square test was used for bivariate data analysis. Respondents with strong family support are more likely to have accepted the COVID-19 vaccine in its entirety (88.7%), while those with weaker family support are more likely to have received the vaccine in its entirety (79.4%). A significant correlation between family support and acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine was found, according to the results of the chi-squared test, with a significance level of 0.025 (< 0.05). It follows that having the support of one's family is a correlating factor to the acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccine

The vision of global rural culture is framed between global as a product of particular cultures or as particular cultures contributed to geographically global rural. Furthermore, the emergence of new politics of rural cultures associated with re- and territorialization processes and small tactics in place is analyzed. Finally, the bases are established for the joint and integrated study of the concept and approaches to global rural and global culture in different geographical scenarios in the global South and North.
The Cost of Care: Financial and Social Factors in Cancer Management
Authors: Faiman, PhD, MSN, APRN-BC, AOCN, BMTCN, FAAN, FAPO Beth
Published: February 2024

It is known among clinicians, including advanced practitioners (APs), that non-medical factors will influence health outcomes and contribute to health disparities. Factors such as socioeconomic position, access to health-care and education systems, and living conditions impact whether a patient will be provided similar treatment, care, or resources as others with the same condition. These are referred to as social determinants of health (SDOHs), and negative social factors lead to patients experiencing deleterious outcomes (Pinheiro et al., 2022).
A Financial Toxicity Screening and Care Coordination Quality Improvement Program in a Gynecology Oncology Urban Practice

Published: February 2024

Background: Educating a multidisciplinary team on financial toxicity (FT) risk, screening, and care coordination is an approach to addressing gaps in care among newly diagnosed patients with stage III or IV cancer. Objective: The goal of this quality improvement project (QIP) was to supply an education program for the multidisciplinary team providing insights for the following objectives: (1) Increase the rate of FT screening where there was no baseline screening, (2) Increase referrals for resource care coordination among patients experiencing FT, and (3) Evaluate the relationship between FT and selected demographic identifiers during the 8-week project. Methods: The Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) model was adopted for learning and leading the change during the QIP, focusing on the COmprehensive Score for financial Toxicity (COST) and resource care coordination for newly diagnosed participants with stage III or IV gynecologic cancer. Results: Of the 42 (80.75%) participants consenting to the QIP, 61.90% had COST scores below 23, with 100% (26) of the participants receiving referrals for resource care coordination. On average, 6.50 patients enter the practice for care, with 50% (3.25) reporting FT. At this rate, 162.50 patients were experiencing FT in a 50-week year and were not receiving resource care coordination. However, because some patients did not consent to the QIP, the average FT (Yes) count could potentially be between 199.50 to 225.00 patients in a 50-week year, leading to a potential 62.50 with FT (or 28% of 225.00) not receiving referrals. Age was the main driver for FT COST Score in this QIP. Many variables were unobserved in this QIP and could impact the FT COST Score. However, separate modeling reveals that age alone explains approximately 15% of FT COST scores’ observed changes. Controlling for more variables may refine the model, but it seems unlikely by the data analysis that age would disappear as a driver of change in the FT COST score. Conclusion: Developing a multidisciplinary education program focusing on a structured QIP-PDSA plan can be an example of standardizing an FT screening and care coordination program. The QIP team successfully incorporated a PDSA model roadmap screening program to identify the participants experiencing FT and promptly referred 100% for resource care coordination.

Purpose: Oncology advanced practitioners (APs) are on the front line in treating adverse effects. Among children with brain tumors, treatments such as craniospinal irradiation (CSI) cause neurocognitive injury, endocrinopathies, and ototoxicity. High-dose CSI with concurrent chemotherapy allows high-risk embryonal tumors (non-anaplastic) good survival (70%), but significant distressing effects are commonly treated by APs in multidisciplinary long-term follow-up. The aim of this study was to test feasibility of reducing radiation dose with an AP-led protocol. Methods: An interdisciplinary team developed this pilot study with the primary outcome of fewer than two deaths in 10 patients (80% survival). Secondary outcomes were feasibility of an AP-led treatment protocol and acute/late effects of treatment. The AP held a pioneering role as principal investigator of a tumor treatment study. Exclusion criteria included age less than 3 years and anaplasia. The CSI was reduced from 36 to 24 Gy. All other treatment was standard. Results: Survival rate exceeded the primary outcome threshold (88%); the accrual rate (80%) and follow-up neurocognitive testing rate (75%) were acceptable. Eight children ages 3 to 19 years (M = 8) with tumors of varied molecular subtyping were enrolled. The single death occurred 2.5 years from diagnosis of multiorgan failure (without evidence of tumor). The mean survival is 11 years, with two college and one graduate degrees. Acute and late effects were decreased compared with the higher-dose CSI. Conclusion: APs who treat cancer adverse effects can also conduct clinical prospective studies to maintain survival rates and improve quality-of life-outcomes.
