Authors: Flores Mariela , Sidorovas Luis
Published: November 2022

En Venezuela la crisis ambiental global se intensifica por la dependencia petrolera; observándose claramente en la cotidianidad. Siendo la responsabilidad del Estado, quien  ordenó por decreto, sin la debida consulta y autorización de la Asamblea Nacional, la creación de la zona de Desarrollo Estratégico Nacional “Arco Minero del Orinoco” (AMO), regida esta por las normas previstas en el decreto. Metodológicamente es una investigación hermenéutica cualitativa de diseño documental, a través de una revisión bibliográfica que generó un proceso de interpretación y teorización de la realidad observada. Se estudió la explotación del AMO inscrita en un nuevo proceso social histórico, desde los principios fundamentales de la bioética. Este cambio estructural pudiera ser una emergencia económica improvisada sin fundamentos bioéticos, sin analizar las consecuencias que esto traerá al país; situación merece ser estudiada, analizada, debatida desde sus componentes, efectos y consecuencias para enmarcarla en el desarrollo sostenible y minimizar su impacto negativo.

THE NATIONAL RECOGNITION OF THE INTERNATIONAL ARBITRATION IN THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE DISPUTES: A COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN THE FRENCH AND JORDANIAN LAWS
Authors: Ismail Mahmoud
Published: November 2022

The article treats the recourse of the parties to disputes in international trade to arbitration, as they can choose arbitrators specialized in the subject matter of the dispute, far from the conflict of national laws and the dilemmas of attribution rules in private international law. This article employed a qualitative analysis and research approach. The research found that the increase in recourse has raised legal questions regarding the settlement of disputes outside the borders of the state, especially since the association of the international contracts with economic values protected by national laws creates obstacles to subjecting these disputes to the international arbitration. How have the national laws dealt with the international arbitration, affected it and were affected by it? The research responded to these questions by consulting the French and Jordanian law. As a result, the arbitration takes the international character of the presence of foreign elements in the relationship or because of the subject of the dispute to be resolved, and this is the legal criterion. A valid arbitration agreement produces its own law independently of the mechanisms of national law. National legislation should recognize an international arbitration decision as long as the arbitration decision is validly rendered in accordance with the law governing the arbitration process. French law recognizes the international arbitration decisions, while Jordanian legislation does not recognize international arbitration decisions through direct provisions, but rather recognizes the decisions because of its commitment to implement the 1958 New York Convention.

Published: November 2022

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant global public health concern. Vernonia amygdalina Del. is a medicinal herb reported to have multiple biological activities, including antidiabetic properties. This work investigated the in vitro and in vivo antioxidant and antidiabetic properties of Vernonia amygdalina Del. ethanolic leaf extract (VAE). Total phenolic content (TPC) and total flavonoid (TFC) content of VAE were assessed using Folin-Ciocalteu and aluminum chloride colorimetric methods, respectively. The antioxidant activities of VAE were assessed by the DPPH and FRAP methods. The effects of the VAE on the gustatory, toxicity, body weight, and triglycerides were determined in wild-type Drosophila melanogaster. The results showed that VAE had high levels of TPC (57.45±0.45 mg GAE/g DW), TFC 79.55±0.88 mg QE/g DW), and in vitro antioxidant activities (0.11±0.02 mg/mL).VAE exhibited the in vitro inhibitory activities against α-glucosidase and α-amylase with the IC50 values of 267.69±11.51 µg mL-1 and 331.56±26.47 µg mL-1. Treatment with VAE at 5 and 15 mg/mL did not affect the fruit fly survival, indicating that VAE was not toxic to the insects. In D. melanogaster supplemented with 15 mg/mL VAE, significant increases in survival time after exposure to H2O2 and paraquat were observed. VAE also reduced triglyceride levels in fruit flies fed with a high-sugar diet. These findings suggest that VAE, which is derived from natural sources, possesses antioxidant and antidiabetic properties and may also be used as a potential source of bioactive compounds for managing hyperglycemia.

Authors: Elamrousy Nilly Hussien Kamel
Published: November 2022

The current research aims to identify the level of self-regulation in academic advising among a sample of university students and the differences in the self-regulation of academic advising according to the variable (the cumulative average of the level of academic achievement) among female university students. The research sample consisted of 80 seventh-level students in the Department of Psychology at the Faculty of Education for Girls in Abha – King Khalid University in Saudi Arabia. This research used a descriptive approach. The researcher built and designed a self-regulation scale in the implementation of an academic advising plan to apply it to the research sample. The results showed statistically significant differences at 0.01 in favor of the means of the female students’ scores on the two dimensions (planning and goals – self-evaluation) of the dimensions of the self-regulation scale in the implementation of the academic advising plan. Also, the dimensions of self-regulation in academic advising fall within the high and medium categories of the scale. The dimension of planning and goals came first, followed by the dimension of self-evaluation in second place with a high degree. The dimension of requesting academic aid was ranked third and averaged. The study showed no statistically significant differences in the dimensions of the self-regulation scale for academic advising and the total score according to the cumulative average variable of the level of academic achievement among the female students of the current research sample. All the students had a high level of academic achievement, including grades of Good, High, Excellent, and Very Good, respectively, indicating that all female students in the current research sample used self-regulation skills in academic advising, which helped them raise their academic achievements and maintain a high GPA.

Published: November 2022

Rainfall erosivity and rainfall kinetic energy are predominantly affected by the rainfall droplet size distribution characteristics. This study aims to determine the raindrop size distribution with different rainfall intensities in East Malaysia using photographic method and MATLAB image processing tools. A total of five natural rainfall intensities of different ranges were analyzed: 5.51 mm hr-1, 14.20 mm hr-1, 28.80 mm hr-1, 32.41 mm hr-1 and 58.11 mm hr-1. A digital camera with fast capturing mode was used to capture falling raindrops and the droplets were then processed in MATLAB to determine the raindrop size distribution. It was found that the captured raindrop diameters were within the range of 0.1 mm and 5.0 mm, and a higher portion of the raindrops fell between 0.1 mm and 1.0 mm. The results also showed that higher rainfall intensities would promote the formation of larger raindrop sizes, i.e., from 1.0 mm to 5.0 mm, and lower rainfall intensities tended result in higher drop counts in smaller raindrop sizes of <1.0 mm. The modified image processing tools of MATLAB had proved a shorter analysis duration and higher accuracy of the raindrop size determination than the human visual system. The novelty of this study contributes to the understanding of the equatorial rainfall properties. This enhances the study of the rainfall kinetic energy and soil erosion rate estimation. The findings demonstrate the capability of photogrammetric techniques for determination of raindrop size distribution.

Authors: Firmansya  , Suparjo  , Novianti Sri , Maruli Pahantus
Published: November 2022

The integration of cattle with smallholder oil palm plantations can increase the population and productivity of cattle, and improve the efficiency of smallholder oil palm plantations. The positive synergy that can be achieved from this integration can ensure the feed supply for cattle, save on the use of inorganic fertilizers for oil palm plantations, and forage for grass for cattle feed. The pattern of raising cattle on smallholder oil palm plantations varies (extension, semi-intensive, and intensive) according to the behavior/habits and abilities of farmers, thus requiring different strategies. The composition and structure of cattle systems integrated with oil palm plantations varies in various patterns of rearing. In the pattern of raising cattle on smallholder oil palm plantations, each has advantages and disadvantages. The novelty of this research is that the proposed model involves the integration of cattle with oil palm plantations having semi-intensive and intensive maintenance patterns that comply with the existing conditions and the farmers’ behavior.
LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND RURAL WOMEN IN A DEVELOPMENT PARADIGM: A PERSPECTIVE OF VULINDLELA IN KWAZULU-NATAL, SOUTH AFRICA
Authors: Govender Vivagum , Qwabe Bongani R.
Published: November 2022

In South Africa, many rural households are female-headed even though women are the most disadvantaged and the poorest part of the population. Their economic empowerment is thus critical to implementing the ideals of South Africa’s National Development Plan (NDP) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) This paper reports on a quantitative study focused on local economic development opportunities for rural women as a strategic intervention for creating income-generating activities and sustainable livelihoods for women. It happened in Vulindlela, a rural district within the Msunduzi Municipality in the province of KwaZulu-Natal in South Africa. Severe poverty, lack of basic infrastructure, and a high level of unemployment can characterize Vulindlela, like any other rural area in South Africa. This study mainly aimed to establish the perceptions of the women of Vulindlela concerning accessing local economic development opportunities. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire. The research sampling used non-probability and purposive sampling techniques. The study results revealed that females encounter numerous challenges in accessing local economic opportunities. Furthermore, the study results showed that women do not have the same possibilities as men due to gender biases in the employment sector and cultural constraints that continue to plague rural societies. Finally, driven by a broad scope of stakeholder interest, this article recommends implementing a gender-responsive budget and investment in infrastructure, skills development and training, and a meaningful execution of gender-sensitive programs such as affording women an equal opportunity to participate in local economic development initiatives.

Published: November 2022

This study aims to evaluate the link between inclusive finance and entrepreneurship creation among banking agency, with specific reference to point of sale (POS) operators in Nigeria. Therefore, the study anchored on the special agent theory of financial inclusion. The novelty of this research is the inclusion of Khan Measurement variables and methods for evaluating financial inclusion (FI), who proposed the use of the FI index to measure banking penetration, availability and accessibility of service/product and usage of banking system/technology. Another novelty is financial inclusion in the entrepreneurial paradigm, which is a model of an inclusive financial channel for startup businesses and entrepreneurship creation. This model provides a basis for financial solutions for struggling startups in agency banking. 204 copies of the questionnaire were retrieved from the respondents out of 399 distributed to POS operators and two agent banks using the Yamane statistical method. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the questions from each variable, while regression statistical analysis was employed to test the hypotheses. The findings revealed that banking penetration has a significant positive relationship with entrepreneurship creation of services, financial products/services has a significant positive relationship with entrepreneurship creation, and usage of banking services was significantly and positively related to entrepreneurship creation among Lagos POS operators. Practical application is for POS operators and agent banks used to promote financial inclusion and job creation. Therefore, it is imperative that agency banking should provide more financial incentives to POS and mobile banking operators to encourage them to have access to funds.

Authors: Vasilenko N. V. , Rumyantseva A. Yu.
Published: November 2022

Aim.The presented study aims to identify the components of national information sovereignty in the context of economic digitalization and to determine the most important directions of its formation in the modern geopolitical situation.

Tasks.The authors consider approaches to understanding the essence of the concept of sovereignty and its specific derivatives, including economic sovereignty, technological sovereignty, etc.; build a scheme of terminology in the field of sovereignty in relation to the state and substantiate the place of information sovereignty on it; identify patterns in the evolution of the content of information sovereignty under the influence of various factors, including digitalization; formulate conditions and directions for further formation of information sovereignty in the modern geopolitical context.

Methods.This study uses general scientific methods of cognition, as well as territorial, systemic, evolutionary, and institutional approaches to examine in various aspects the genesis and evolution of the content of the phenomenon and concept of national information sovereignty as a unity of technological and value components in the context of the digitalization of economic activity.

Results.A scheme of terminology in the field of sovereignty in relation to the state is built, showing the ratio of different types of sovereignty, and the place of information sovereignty is substantiated. Major directions for the development of national sovereignty are identified with allowance for the trend of economic digitalization. The evolution of the content of information sovereignty under the influence of the development of digital technologies is traced. The structure and directions of further formation of information sovereignty in the modern geopolitical context are determined.

Conclusions.The importance of national information sovereignty is increasing due to the globalization of information and communication interactions on the Internet, difficulties in marking the institutional boundaries of a particular state in the course of economic digitalization due to the cross-territoriality of digital technologies, and the complexity of the geopolitical situation as countries compete for technological leadership. The formation of Russia's information sovereignty in the context of digital transformation as a unity of its technological and value components is an important objective for ensuring national security, economic independence, and sustainable growth of the domestic economy in the current situation.
Systematic risk assessment in an investment project: The problem of deﬁnition
Authors: Tsekhomskiy N. V. , Tikhomirov D. V.
Published: November 2022

Aim. The presented study aims to analyze existing approaches and develop recommendations for the numerical assessment of the magnitude of risk associated with the implementation of investment projects.

Tasks. The authors describe traditional approaches to systematic risk assessment; systematize the practice of determining the beta coefficient as a risk measure of investment projects; analyze alternative approaches to assessing discount rate and systematic risk; develop recommendations for leveling the systematic risk measure.

Methods. This study uses general scientific methods of analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, comparison and description, as well as special methods of financial mathematics and economic-mathematical modeling.

Results. Determining the investment attractiveness of a business or project involves forecasting and discounting future cash flows. Obvious risks are accounted for by adjusting cash flows, and most other risks and uncertainties are reflected in the discount rate. One of the specific components of the discount rate is a measure of systematic risk – the beta coefficient. The authors consider the traditional approach to assessing the cost of capital and systematic risk, alternative approaches that have methodological advantages, but are often not applicable in practice due to additional difficulties in calculations, and most importantly – in comparison between projects/ companies/results for different settlement dates. The study also provides a critical analysis of publicly available analytical data through the example of A. Damodaran’s information and analytical resource and highlights problems in the use of statistics for the valuation of projects and companies in the long term due to the significant volatility of the beta coefficient.

Conclusions. In the absence of other reliable sources, analysts should be more careful about the values of published analytical materials, in some cases independently rechecking the data of publicly available analytics using the recommendations presented in this study.

Published: November 2022

The range of the polychromous Tulipa suaveolens Roth comprises almost the whole Ponto-Caspian Steppe, from the south-east of Ukraine to western Kazakhstan. High variation in flower color is a unique feature of this species, but features of its geographical distribution remain unclear. We studied T. suaveolens tepal color variation in 56 natural populations across the European range. Tepal colors were detected from digital images using the Lab color model with two chromatic components, a (red color intensity) and b (yellow color intensity). A conclusion was made that, throughout the European range, an obvious T. suaveolens flower color gradient is expressed in the direction from the south-west to the north-east, along which the red chromatic component intensity decreases. A similar gradient is observed when the height above mean sea level increases. The chromatic component a was shown to have a spatial autocorrelation and to depend on the long-term bioclimatic environmental parameters, temperature and precipitation. Thus, the identified geographical trends in the T. suaveolens flower color distribution across the studied part of its range are a consequence of natural selection caused by these two abiotic factors.
Impact of weather conditions on the seasonal development, population structure and reproductive success of Dactylorhiza incarnata s. l. (Orchidaceae, Liliopsida) in the Komi Republic
Authors: Kirillova I. A. , Kirillov D. V.
Published: November 2022

The results of our eight-year study of a population of the rare orchid Dactylorhiza incarnata subsp. cruenta at the northern limit of its range (the Komi Republic) are presented. Weather factors (air temperature and precipitations) were revealed to influence features of the small and big life cycles of this species. The number of plants in the studied population was influenced by the weather conditions of the previous growing season, positively by the temperature in August and negatively by frosts in October. The number of generative (flowering) plants had a positive correlation with the air temperature in July of the previous vegetative season. The fruit set was high (71.2%) and negatively associated with precipitation during flowering of this species. The seed number per fruit in the studied population (9,831 pcs on average) was higher than that in the more southern parts of the range of this species. This indicator, as well as the real seed productivity of the species, is positively related to the level of moisture availability of the current growing season. The seed production is high, from 34 thousand to 154.6 thousand seeds per 1 m2 in several study years, it is positively associated with the sum of active temperatures of the previous growing season. The presence of juvenile individuals (10.0–31.7%) over all study years indicates a successful seed reproduction in this population.

Published: November 2022

Bioremediation is a promising approach for treating oil-contaminated environments. The main objective of this study was to isolate bacteria capable of degrading hydrocarbons for application in oily wastewater treatment from oil-contaminated sites in Hanoi, Vietnam. The bacterial consortium studied was obtained from an oil-contaminated muddy soil sample enriched with crude oil mixed with diesel oil as a carbon source. The reconstituted consortium was able to degrade 93% of the oil content after 7 days of testing. A total of five pure bacterial strains were isolated on TSA agar from the complex microbial communities and were selected as potential candidates for oily sludge biodegradation processes. These isolates were identified based on their morphological and biochemical characteristics. By using molecular biology techniques, five hydrocarbons degrading bacteria were investigated and identified as Pseudomonas mendocina strain MD1 (OL687411.1), Pseudomonas hydrolytica strain MD2 (OL771695.1), Brucella intermedia strain MD3 (OL687412.1), Pseudomonas stutzeri strain MD4 (OL687413.1), and Stenotrophomonas nitritireducens strain MD5 (OL687414.1). The morphological and biochemical characterization of these bacteria showed that five of them were Gram-negative, rod-shaped, catalase positive, the ideal pH was neutral, and the optimum growth temperature was 30ºC in a culture medium with a salinity of 0.5%. These strains are capable of producing extracellular enzymes, such as lipase, amylase, cellulase, and protease.

In the course of the conducted studies, main groups of soil microorganisms in the southern chernozem were identified. The resistance of isolates to the action of oil in the concentration range of 15–25%, the possibility of using it as a carbon source, the ability of soil microbiota to biodegradate oil in contaminated soil and the resistance of bacteria to low temperatures, high NaCl concentrations, acid and alkali resistance were established. 15 genera (31 species) of heterotrophic bacteria were isolated from uncontaminated soil samples of the southern chernozem subtype. Our assessment of the abundance dynamics of microorganisms isolated from laboratory contaminated soils showed that as a result of oil exposure, there was a significant decrease in the numbers of microorganisms: by the 180th day of our experiment, 10 bacteria species belonging to 3 genera were isolated, namely: Bacillus, Micrococcus and Serratia. Among the isolated bacteria, resistance to the action of the pollutant at a concentration of 25% was established for B. coagulans, B. mojavensis, B. megaterium, M. luteus, as well as for the museum strain of B. pumilus CM. By cultivating the studied bacterial strains on a carbon-free medium M9 with 15 and 20% oil added, their ability to use petroleum hydrocarbons as the only carbon source was established; however, when the concentration increased to 25%, only M. luteus, B. mojavensis and B. pumilus KM retained this ability. The presence of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria in soil samples contributed to the 42% decrease in the oil mass concentration in 180 days. The most significant decrease in the concentration of petroleum products occurred in the period from the 10th to the 30th day and amounted to 25%, which is probably due to the increase in the numbers of heterotrophic bacteria. The ability to grow at a temperature of +4°C was established for representatives of the genus Bacillus, including the museum strain of B. pumillus CM, 4 strains of bacilli remained viable in an acidic environment (pH 5), 7 strains of bacilli and M. luteus and S. plymuthica remained viable in an alkaline environment (pH 9). The studied bacterial strains were growing on a GRM-agar with a NaCl concentration of 7%, the ability to grow at a NaCl concentration of 15% was preserved only by the museum strain of B. pumillus KM. The obtained results open the prospects for the use of hydrocarbon-oxidizing bacteria with a high adaptive potential as potential oil destructors capable of biodegradation at low temperatures, in conditions of high salinity and in a wide range of pH of the medium.

Abstract: Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between school culture and academic enthusiasm with academic hope and motivation in high school students. Research methodology: The present study is applied in terms of purpose and is among the descriptive studies of correlation type. The statistical population includes all high school students in Zahak city,whose number in the academic year 2021-2022 is 1324 people.Using Morgan table and Cochran's formula, 297 students were selected by statistical random sampling as a statistical sample.To prevent statistical sample loss and better adequacy, a sample of 320 questionnaires was distributed by multi-stage random cluster sampling method. Results: The results of the analysis showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between academic motivation and students' academic enthusiasm.The intensity of this relationship is very strong and academic motivation has the power to predict academic enthusiasm. There is no significant relationship between school culture and academic motivation and school culture does not have the power to predict academic motivation. Limitations: What should be considered by school parents is to pay attention to creating a correct and flexible culture in school, because each student spends more than half of his time in school and is exposed to school relationships and culture, and these relationships over time. Contribution: Among the limitations of the research are the lack of sufficient scientific content around the research variables,the lack of cooperation of some schools in the implementation of the questionnaire and the limitation in the generalizability of the results of this research.

Authors: Tedjosaputro Liliana
Published: November 2022

Obyek Jaminan Fidusia mencerminkan adanya jaminan kebendaan dalam
bentuk baru yang mempresentasikan “Penyerahan Hak Milik atas dasar
kepercayaan sebagai jaminan”, sehingga pemilik benda jaminan Fidusia masih
dapat memakai benda yang dijaminkan secara kepercayaan. Bentuk Fidusia ini
merupakan solusi akan syarat “in bezit stelling” dalam jaminan gadai, dimana
benda yang digadaikan harus diletakkan di luar kekuasaan si pemberi gadai. Pada
sertipikat Fidusia ada grosse acte yaitu dengan irah-irah “Demi Keadilan
berdasarkan Ketuhanan Yang Maha Esa”, sehingga mempunyai kekuatan seperti
Keputusan Pengadilan. Perumusan masalahnya adalah Bagaimana Dampak
Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi No 18/PUU-XVII/2019 terhadap Obyek Jaminan
Fidusia ? Metode penelitian yuridis normatif menggunakan data sekunder sebagai
data utama dan data primer sebagai data pendukung. Adanya Putusan Mahkamah
Konstitusi No 18/PUU-XVII/2019 terjadi 3 (tiga) syarat yang ditentukan bahwa
Pasal 15 ayat (2) dan (3) serta penjelasan Pasal 15 ayat (2) Undang-Undang No 42
Tahun 1999 tentang Jaminan Fidusia berlaku secara inkonstitusional bersyarat
(conditionally unconstitusional) yaitu : 1. Syarat wanprestasi/cidera janji harus
disepakati antara Kreditur dan Debitur. 2. Jika Debitur wanprestasi/cidera janji,
Debitur harus sukarela menyerahkan jaminannya. 3. Jika Debitur keberatan
menyerahkan secara sukarela obyek jaminan Fidusia maka eksekusi Sertipikat
jaminan Fidusia tidak bisa dipaksa, tapi harus melalui gugatan ke Pengadilan
Negeri, 4. Selama gugatan berlangsung, Debitur wajib memelihara barang
jaminan secara baik dan layak jika terjadi kehilangan atau kerusakan menjadi
tanggung jawab Debitur sepenuhnya. 5. Selalu diasuransikan baik kebakaran
dan/atau kehilangan benda jaminan Fidusia.

Introducción: Se presenta una serie de pacientes con compromiso neurológico e infección por SARS-CoV-2 y se revisa la evidencia al respecto.

Pacientes y métodos: Estudio descriptivo, retrospectivo de pacientes consecutivos RT-PCR positivos para SARS-CoV-2 del servicio de neurología desde 1 de agosto hasta 31 de diciembre de 2020.

Resultados: Registramos 30 pacientes, 16 hombres (53%), edad media: 65 ± 17,3. En el 53% el compromiso neurológico antecedió los síntomas respiratorios y el diagnóstico de infección por SARS-CoV-2. A nivel sindromático se observó: Ictus 43% (13), crisis comiciales 10% (3), encefalopatía posterior reversible 10% (3), encefalopatía 7% (2), trastorno psicótico breve 7% (2), mielopatía 3% (1), síndrome de Guillain-Barré 3% (1), cefalea 3% (1), vasculitis 3% (1), hemorragia intracerebral 3% (1), crisis miasténica 3% (1) y neuritis óptica recurrente 3% (1).

Conclusiones: El compromiso neurológico por el SARS-CoV-2 produce una gran variedad de síntomas y puede ser la primera manifestación incluso sin el desarrollo de síntomas respiratorios por esta infección.
El El modelo ontogénico para la rehabilitación del ACV con estimulación transcraneal
Authors: Castillo Gabriel Augusto , Ramírez García Sergio Francisco , Arcos-Burgos Mauricio
Published: November 2022

Actualmente la aplicación de la estimulación transcraneal para el tratamiento del ACV se realiza con base en el modelo de rivalidad interhemisférica. Este modelo ha mostrado muchas anomalías que hacen necesario un nuevo paradigma. La recuperación espontanea de la hemiplejia post- ACV tiene patrón ontogénico. Reanalizamos el estudio longitudinal de Londres 2008 y encontramos que la desinhibición cortical corresponde al mecanismo de recuperación ontogénica del ACV. Planteamos que la estimulación transcraneal, utilizando EMTr a 10 Hz o microestimulación eléctrica anódica, puede recuperar el ACV de manera similar a la recuperación espontánea.

Published: November 2022

La angiopatía amiloide cerebral se presenta con hemorragia intracerebral lobular, demencia o eventos neurológicos transitorios. Ocurre como resultado del depósito de b-amiloide en la media y la adventicia de las arterias pequeñas, los capilares de las leptomeninges y la corteza cerebral. Su prevalencia aumenta con la edad y su asociación con deterioro cognitivo está bien establecido. Se presenta el caso de una mujer de 80 años, previamente independiente, sin discapacidad ni deterioro cognitivo, con antecedente de hipertensión arterial sistémica bien controlada, quien consulto por episodio convulsivo de novo y focalización neurológica. Durante el seguimiento imagenológico se documentó presencia de dos macrohemorragias parietooccipitales bilaterales, acontecidas en dos momentos diferentes durante la evolución del cuadro clínico, hallazgos que fueron atribuidos a la presencia de angiopatía amiloide cerebral, finalmente la paciente falleció durante dicha hospitalización. En esta presentación de caso se discuten los criterios diagnósticos para considerar la presencia de angiopatía amiloide cerebral, el pronóstico y la razón que llevo a la muerte.
A STUDY OF COMPARISON OF TRANSANAL SUTURE RECTOPEXY WITH OPEN HEMORRHOIDECTOMY IN PATIENTS OF HEMORRHOID'S: A RANDOMIZED CONTROL TRIAL
Authors: K Rathod Akshay , Bhagvat Shirish , Gangawane Shraddha , Kharmutee Geoffrey
Published: November 2022

Aim: To compare Transanal suture rectopexy with Open hemorrhoidectomy in patients of hemorrhoids.
MATERIALS AND METHOD: After obtaining institutional ethics committee clearance, a prospective
comparative study was done involving 60 patients with hemorrhoids undergoing either Transanal suture rectopexy [TR] or Open
hemorrhoidectomy [OH]. With simple random sampling, the patients who t into the criteria was randomized in to two groups A
for Transanal suture rectopexy and group B Open hemorrhoidectomy Both the procedures were compared RESULTS: with
respect to mean operating time, intra-operative & post-operative bleeding, postoperative pain & use of analgesia, duration of
hospital stay along with six months of post operative complications in which we observed that Transanal suture rectopexy is
better in terms of intraoperative bleeding, postoperative pain, duration of hospital stay and postoperative recurrence as
compared to Open hemorrhoidectomy. Suture hemorrhoidopexy can be considered as a safe alternative CONCLUSIONS:
approach for surgical treatment of hemorrhoids than open hemorrhoidectomy after adequate training. More studies are needed
to declare it as a standard procedure for the cure of the disease of hemorrhoids

Hereditary angioedema (HAE) is the deciency or dysfunction of C1 esterase inhibitor.It may also occur
due to increased activity of factor XII / estrogen levels or through an unidentied cause. It manifests the
attacks of swelling involving the skin and /or mucosa or submucosa of different organs.The attacks may be a result of specic
trigger or occur spontaneously.The intestinal angioedema is clinically presented with moderate or severe pain abdomen,
associated with nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea and/or ascites. The 38 year old woman presents with abdominal pain diffuse
associated with nausea, vomitings, lips and eyelids swelling.During this period, investigations were done which revealed a
small amount of free intraperitoneal uid.Biochemical testing were performed which revealed C1 esterase inhibitor deciency,
decreased C4 levels. She was then diagnosed as intestinal involvement with HAE. Late diagnosis is associated with high
morbidity, therefore early recognition and investigation of HAE with involvement in intestinal patients with unexplained
abdominal pain is important.

Edema with ulceration is one of the common presentation encountered in the clinical setting. The main aim is to identify
the cause of edema with ulceration and treat the underlying cause. The edema and ulceration can be unilateral or
bilateral. The main cause of unilateral leg edema with ulceration is mainly due to venous insufficiency (deep vein
thrombosis) and rarely because of tumor. Presence of unilateral limb edema with ulceration but without inguinal
lymphadenopathy is extremely rare. In this paper, we are reporting a very rare case of Non Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) of
lower limb with ulceration but no lymphadenopathy1, 2
