Authors: Valecha Jeetendar , Khalid Sana , Pervez Romana , Mumtaz Dr. Umair , Khalid Iqra , Talha Dr. Muhammad
Published: October 2024

Background: Stroke is a significant cause of long-term disability, leading to chronic impairments of balance and gait. However, successful rehabilitation can help stroke survivors improve their mobility and quality of life. This study compares the effects of Dual-Task Training (DTT) and Motor Relearning Program (MRP) on dynamic balance and gait parameters in chronic stroke patients with left hemiplegia.

Methods: A randomized, double-blinded controlled trial was done in a tertiary care hospital from March to August 2023. Through simple randomization, 40 subjects with chronic left hemiplegic stroke were allotted into either the DTT group or the MRP group. Both groups received 45-minute sessions three times weekly for 12 weeks. The primary outcomes measured were the 10-Meter Walk Test (10MWT) and the Timed Up and Go Test (TUG)—secondary outcomes related to gait parameters, step length, cadence, cycle time, and stride length. Statistical analyses involved paired and independent t-tests, with a set level of significance described as p<0.05.

Results: The statistical improvements in the DTT group show in the gait speed (10MWT) and TUG scores, which are significantly better than in the MRP group (p<0.05). Likewise, the DTT group’s step length, cadence, cycle time, and stride length also improved significantly (p<0.05).

Conclusion: The use of DTT significantly improves the dynamic balance and gait of chronic stroke patients with left hemiplegia compared to MRP. This underscores the effectiveness of DTT as a tool for rehabilitating motor function in stroke patients. Further research should be pursued to optimize its application and evaluate long-term outcomes.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality worldwide, with increasing incidence in developing countries like Pakistan. This study aims to evaluate the distribution patterns of colorectal cancer morphologies among patients treated at Liaquat University of Medical & Health Sciences (LUMHS) Jamshoro.

Methodology: This descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted over two years (January 2022 to December 2023) at the Department of Gastroenterology, Asian Institute of Medical Sciences, in collaboration with the Department of Pathology, LUMHS Jamshoro. A total of 150 patients diagnosed with CRC and who underwent surgical resection were included in the study. Data were collected on socio-demographic characteristics, clinical presentations, histopathological types, tumor grading, and staging. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25, with Fisher’s exact test applied to assess associations between variables.

Results: The mean age of the patients was 58.7 years (± 11.2), with the majority being male (60%). Most tumors were classified as non-mucinous adenocarcinomas (56%), followed by mucinous adenocarcinomas (28%) and signet-ring cell carcinomas (16%). A strong positive correlation was found between tumor size and Dukes' staging (ρ = 0.42, p < 0.001), as well as between Dukes' staging and tumor grading (ρ=0.46, p<0.001). Rectal bleeding was significantly associated with advanced Dukes’ stages (ρ=0.44, p <0.001).

Conclusion: This study highlights the aggressive nature of colorectal cancer in the studied population, with significant associations between age, tumor size, staging, and grading. The findings underscore the need for early detection strategies and tailored treatment approaches to address CRC in this region.

Effect of Mixing Methods and Black Conductive Fillers on Properties of Natural Rubber Composites
Authors: Bhatt Anal , Mahadwad Omprakash , Parikh Parimal
Published: October 2024

Carbon black, graphite, carbon nanofibers, carbon nanotubes, and metal fillers increase composite conductivity in natural rubber, which is electrically insulating. Depending on dispersion, conductive filler lowers insulating material resistivity. These materials are frequently used for electromagnetic/radio frequency interference (EMI/RFI) shielding, conductive flexible seals gaskets, and conductive mats used to prevent electrostatic damage to electronic devices. These elastomers could be used to make flexible solar cells or mechanical-to-electricity devices. Temperature, mixing time, shear rate, and cross-linking during vulcanization affect rubber electrical conductivity of composite. To study shear rate effects, vulcanizate of Natural Rubber-based composites filled with carbon black, millable carbon fiber powder, and synthetic graphite powder was prepared by open mixing (two roll mill) and close mixing (internal mixer). We compared how shear rate affects cure, stress-strain, and volume resistivity of conductive filler-based Natural Rubber composites. Increment in clearance of two roll mill during addition of rubber additives along with rubber of reduced the shearing force resulted in less dispersive and distributive mixing and stagnant points due to band formation on roll surface compared to intermix where compound movement had no stagnation point and long wings pushed material axially and two nogs pushed material in other chamber. Compared to two roll mill samples, the compound reached every point of the mixing chamber for best homogeneity, reducing cure time and improving stress-strain and volume resistivity.

Two Theories of Names: How Mill’s Semantics Superseded Teachings of Schoolmen
Authors: Plėšnys Albinas
Published: October 2024

Theory of names is a prominent part of analytic philosophy of language. Contemporary analysis of names is typically taken to be emerging from the works of F. Brentano, A. Meinong and especially G. Frege. However, the contemporary theory of names originates from J. S. Mill. System of Logic, his opus magnum, had an enormous influence on later development of logic, the philosophy of language and the emergence of logical positivism. The philosophy of language and the theory of names in the scholastic tradition were treated highly, partially to their significance to theology. However, achievements of the scholastic philosophy of language are hardly noticeable in the contemporary analytic philosophy of language. This article seeks to investigate the causes of such situation. These may involve disregard towards scholastic philosophy in general characteristic of the philosophy of Enlightment. It is claimed that some other significant influence may had been the analysis of logic and epistemology provided in the System of Logic.

Published: October 2024

Los hidrolizados de residuos de camarón (HRC) son usados para mejorar el rendimiento productivo de diferentes especies de peces. Este estudio determinó el efecto de la sustitución dietética de proteína de harina de pescado (HP) por hidrolizado de residuos de camarón (HRC) sobre el crecimiento, la eficiencia alimenticia y la composición corporal de juveniles de robalo blanco del pacífico, Centropomus viridis. Los residuos de camarón fueron tratados enzimáticamente (bromelina) para obtener el HRC. Tres dietas isonitrogenadas (47-48% proteína) e isoenergéticas (18.81-19.25 kJ/ g) fueron formuladas por reemplazamiento del 0%, 4% y 6% de proteína de la HP con la HRC. Los peces (peso promedio inicial individual de 44 g) fueron alimentados con las dietas experimentales (n = 24 peces por dieta) por 45 días. El peso ganado (PG), la tasa específica de crecimiento (TEC), la tasa de conversión alimenticia (TCA), la tasa de eficiencia proteica (TEP), la supervivencia y la composición proximal inicial y final del cuerpo entero del robalo fueron analizados. Los peces alimentados con la dieta control (0% de HRC) presentaron los mejores resultados en crecimiento (PG y TEC) y eficiencia alimenticia (TCA e TEP). Los valores de TCA no mostraron diferencias significativas entre el tratamiento control y el tratamiento con inclusión del 4% de HRC. La TEP fue significativamente mayor en el tratamiento control, que en los tratamientos con inclusión de HRC. En general, las dietas con inclusión de HRC impactaron negativamente (p<0.05) en el crecimiento (PG y TEC) de los organismos. La supervivencia no fue afectada (p>0.05) por ninguno de los tratamientos. Los valores de lípidos y cenizas en el cuerpo entero del robalo, fueron mayores en el tratamiento control que en los tratamientos con inclusión de HRC. En conclusión, el HRC obtenido bajo estas condiciones y usado en este estudio, no tiene potencial para ser usado en el diseño de alimento para robalos. El resideño de la obtención del HRC podría funcionar en futuros estudios.

INTRATEST TRACE ELEMENT VARIABILITY IN POLAR AND SUBPOLAR PLANKTIC FORAMINIFERA: INSIGHTS INTO VITAL EFFECTS, ONTOGENY, AND BIOMINERALIZATION PROCESSES
Authors: Hupp Brittany N. , Fehrenbacher Jennifer S.
Published: October 2024

To use planktic foraminiferal tests as paleoproxy substrates, it is necessary to delineate environmental versus biological controls on trace element incorporation. Here we utilize laser-ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) to explore interspecies, chamber-to-chamber, and intratest trace element (i.e., Mg, Na, Sr, Ba, Mn, Zn) variability in thickly-calcified specimens of the polar and subpolar planktic foraminifera Neogloboquadrina incompta, N. pachyderma, and Turborotalita quinqueloba collected from plankton tows in the Northern California Current. Among the study taxa, test Mg/Ca, Na/Ca, and Sr/Ca are likely dominantly controlled by depth habitat. The neogloboquadrinids record higher Ba/Ca and Mn/Ca and also show positive covariance between these elements, possibly due to calcifying in an oxygen-depleted marine snow microhabitat. Trace elements are found to be more enriched in the lamellar calcite than the outer chamber wall dominated by gametogenic crust. The data presented herein provide insight into potential vital effects, paleoproxy considerations, ontogeny, and biomineralization processes.

Authors: Manan Muhammad Kashif
Published: October 2024

Objective:To compare the efficacy of the temporal inverted ILM flap technique versus ILM peeling
for better visual outcomes and closure of macular holes larger than 400 µm.

Methodology: This was a non randomized controlled study conducted in the Department of Eye Unit 3, Institute of Ophthalmology, Mayo Hospital Lahore from January 2019 to December 2019. Twenty eyes with large macular holes were included; ten eyes were treated with the Temporal Inverted ILM Flap technique, and ten eyes were treated with ILM Peeling. Preoperatively all macular holes in both groups were assessed for visual acuity and size of macular hole on Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Postoperatively, one week, one month, three months, and six months, bestcorrected visual acuity (BCVA) was measured using the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) scale and macular hole (MH) closure was assessed on OCT. The chi-square test was applied taking p-values < 0.05 a significant.

Results: Initially, both groups had an average BCVA of 0.54 ± 0.1 logMAR. After 6 months, the group that underwent Temporal Inverted ILM Flap surgery showed a notable enhancement in BCVA (0.30 ± 0.08 logMAR) in comparison to the group that underwent ILM Peeling surgery (0.40 ± 0.08 logMAR, p = 0.012). There was a higher rate of Type 1 closure (90% compared to 60%, p = 0.011) and better continuity of the ellipsoid zone (100% compared to 80%, p = 0.12) in the group that utilized the temporal inverted flap method as compared to simple ILM peel.

Conclusion: Temporal Inverted ILM Flap approach is more effective than ILM peeling in terms of better visual acuity, higher type 1 closure rate, and better continuity of the ellipsoid zone. Keywords: ILM Peeling, Macular Hole, Retinal Surgery, Temporal Inverted ILM Flap, Visual Acuity

Authors: Pangestu Arfianda Rizki Pangestu
Published: October 2024

The steering gear is one of the auxiliary machineries on board a ship that is used to move the ship's rudder, allowing the ship to turn to the right or left. This machinery utilizes an electro-hydraulic system, which combines electric and hydraulic technologies to control the ship's steering direction. The research focuses on analyzing the suboptimal performance of the steering gear on the MT. Narpatisuta. The objectives of the research are to identify the factors causing the suboptimal performance of the steering gear, the impacts resulting from this suboptimal performance, and the efforts made to address the suboptimal performance of the steering gear on the MT. Narpatisuta. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method, with data collection techniques in the form of observation, interviews, documentation and literature study. The data analysis technique uses the SHEL method. Test the validity of the data using triangulation. The research results show that suboptimal performance of the steering gear is caused by hydraulic pipe leaks, deteriorating quality of hydraulic oil, and damage to seal and o-ring components, which lead to reduced steering gear performance, slower rudder movement, and can disrupt ship operations, endangering crew safety and the ship's cargo. Efforts that can be made to remedy this include routine inspection and maintenance of the steering gear and its components. Thus, this research emphasizes the need for routine inspection and maintenance to prevent these problems which must ensure maximum steering gear function, maintain safety and ship operational efficiency.

Coping with drought stress involves several adaptations and mitigation strategies such as the use of plant-growth promoting bacteria and salicylic acid, which was examined in this study under two levels of water regimes (well-watered as control and drought stress) in southwest Iran in 2018 and 2020 on common yarrow (Achillea millefolium). Catalase levels significantly increased in response to drought stress and salicylic acid application. Salicylic acid and combined application treatment of both bacteria also resulted in a significant increase in proline compared with the control. Different bacteria strains also resulted in a significant increase in peroxidase and superoxide dismutase when compared with the control. Drought stress, salicylic acid application, and different bacteria strains significantly reduced total protein. The use of salicylic acid and the combined application of both bacteria significantly increased the percentage of essential oil compared with the control. Moreover, 41 compounds were isolated, accounting for 92.08% of the essential oil, with more than 90.00% being volatile terpenes. The main components of yarrow essential oil were borneol (16.79%), flanderin (15.92%), cineole (14.32%), camphor (9.77%), and alpha-pinene (3.44%). In general, growth-promoting bacteria and salicylic acid application constitute an advantageous management practice for the commercial production of Achillea millefolium, increasing the nutraceutical and medicinal values of this species.

The silver therapon, Leiopotherapon plumbeus, is a new species for aquaculture. However, information on the optimal conditions for the transport of this species for grow-out culture needs to be established to avoid stress and unnecessary mortalities. This study examined the effects of duration of transport and loading density on survival and water quality during simulated transport of silver therapon. Hatchery-produced fingerlings [1.30 ± 0.34 g body weight (BW); 44.30 ± 3.77 mm total length (TL)] were held in double-layered oxygenated plastic bags at three transport durations (6 h, 9 h, and 12 h) and densities (40 fish bag-1, 80 fish bag-1, and 120 fish bag-1) in triplicates. Mean survival rates were not significantly affected by both duration of transport (P = 0.321) and loading density (P = 0.345). However, a highly significant effect of duration of transport on dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH (P = 0.000), and a significant effect on Total Ammonia Nitrogen (TAN; P = 0.039) and total bacterial count (TBC; P = 0.034) were evident. Similarly, water quality parameters were significantly influenced by loading density (P = 0.000), with lower DO and pH levels, and higher TAN and TBC recorded at 120 fish bag-1 density. Since a very high survival rate (> 99%) is achieved at the highest loading density of 120 fish bag-1 up to 12 h transport, this density can be recommended to transport silver therapon fingerlings. Chemical treatments using either salt, methylene blue, or tropical almond leaf extract in transport water may be used to reduce the high bacterial count during transport.
Między zmiennością a racjonalnością – prywatyzacja egzekucji sądowej (część 1). Analiza i ocena wybranych zmian legislacyjnych w latach 1997–2015

An institutional position of a bailiff has never been fully explicit, and the number of amendments introduced in this respect show that this is the area of intensive legislative activity. A purpose of this study is to prove that court enforcement was in the privatization trend in 1997–2015, when the legislator introduced legal changes that approximated a court bailiff to so-called independent legal professions. The author tries to prove his thesis against the shape of three institutions of major importance for court enforcement, namely an enforcement fee, jurisdiction (local competence) and the right to select a bailiff by a creditor. He clearly distinguishes when it is possible to indicate that a change is directed at ius publicum, locating it close to public authorities, and when towards ius privatum. The study allows to make a distinction between the period of limited and full privatization. The author points out that this legislative trend was affected by specific factors, such as effectiveness of court enforcement, burden on bailiff offices and events in media. Keywords: privatization of court enforcement, bailiff, enforcement proceedings, enforcement fee, jurisdiction

Instances of declaring bankruptcy of debtors, including those who do not carry out a business activity (so-called consumer bankruptcy) and who are subject to court enforcement proceedings carried out by a bailiff, are not uncommon in trade practices. As a result, there is a problem of mutual relationship between regulations of the Act of 28 February 2003 of the Bankruptcy Law and regulations of Chapter III of the third part of the Civil Proceedings Code on enforcement proceedings (art. 796 et seq. CPC). The resolution voted on concerned one of such problems. In the resolved matter, the issue was if after the remission of enforcement proceedings against real estate (usufruct) by law (under art. 146(1) of the Bankruptcy Law) as a result of a valid declaration of bankruptcy of a debtor, it is still possible for a court to adjudicate ownership of real estate (or usufruct) in favour of an auction buyer, in the case when a decision on adjudicating became final and binding, before the final declaration of debtor’s bankruptcy was issued, and the buyer fulfilled auction terms and conditions in a timely manner. Keywords: debtor’s bankruptcy, enforcement against real estate (or usufruct), adjudication decision, adjudication of ownership (or usufruct)

The article makes an attempt to describe the model of judicial supervision over electronic real property auctions. The analysis indicates that the model differs from a supervision model applied in the cases where real properties are sold in a traditional way. As the model has drawbacks, this article presents certain proposals of modifications. It calls for changes both in supervision over auctions, as well as supervision before auctions and supervision resulting from methods of appeals applied in the process. Keywords: electronic auction, supervision, district court, bailiff, real property

Self-government of public repose conidence professions has been appointed to exectuing tasks under the Constitution, such as representing of personsperforming profession of public trust and carrying on proper practice of such professions for the purpose of protecting, the public interest. This article analyzes the financing system of self-goverment of judicial officers in Poland in terms of efficienty when executing tasks. In order to be effective in executing tasks, it is necessary to have tools for freedom and autonomy, e.g. to have its own property, to build financial independence and freedom in spending. Studies has shown that a great of deal of freedom and authonomy of self-govermet od judicial officers has been restricted by legal regulations and is not noticeable, as expectations and assumptions. Thats way a self-goverment of judicial officers needs further reforms in the area of financial system. Keywords: professional self-goverment, profession of public trust, self-goverment of judicial officers, financing system of self-goverment of judicial officers
La retirada de contenidos de odio en línea: el tratamiento de la cuestión en la jurisdicción civil
Authors: Sarazá Jimena Rafael
Published: October 2024

En la jurisdicción civil, el tratamiento de los contenidos de odio se hace fundamentalmente en los litigios sobre protección de los derechos de la personalidad, en los que la irrupción de internet y de las nuevas tecnologías ha supuesto un reto importante. También es interesante examinar someramente el tratamiento del llamado derecho al olvido, en el que internet tiene un papel fundamental. Por último, la eficacia de los instrumentos jurisdiccionales para proteger estos derechos de los ciudadanos depende en buena parte de que se reconozca legitimación pasiva a las filiales españolas de las empresas que gestionan los motores de búsqueda en internet.
Los acuerdos transaccionales sobre cláusulas suelo en la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Supremo
Authors: Blázquez Martín Raquel
Published: October 2024

La litigiosidad que rodea a los acuerdos transaccionales sobre las cláusulas suelo amenaza con superar el listón de conflicto —ya de por sí elevado— que crearon en su día las propias cláusulas suelo. Se da la paradoja de que los acuerdos transaccionales en cuestión —que respondían formalmente al propósito de poner fin a las discrepancias entre las entidades bancarias y los consumidores en relación con la nulidad y con los efectos de las cláusulas suelo— han acabado generando casi tantas demandas, si no más, como las cláusulas suelo en sí. El proceso de creación de una jurisprudencia uniforme ha sido complejo, pero a finales de 2020 la doctrina del Tribunal Supremo fijó unas bases estables que permiten resolver prácticamente todos los litigios planteados sobre estos acuerdos. En esta ponencia se estudian, primero, los elementos del molde jurisprudencial básico, para abordar a continuación un recopilatorio de los diferentes grupos de casos tratados en las sentencias dictadas por el Tribunal Supremo entre mediados de noviembre de 2020 y febrero de 2022.
