The Emerging Concept of Administrative Action in India
Authors: Mishra Alok
Published: August 2023

The scope of judicial review of administrative action has been the central theme of discussion in administrative law. Initially common law countries including India adopted the doctrine of wednesbury reasonableness to review administrative action. But subsequently under influence of civil law systems and Strasburg jurisprudence the doctrine of proportionality is being gradually accepted as the standard of judicial review by the common law countries. There are two models of proportionality namely the British Model or the state limiting conception of proportionality and the European model or the optimizing concept of proportionality. Of the two the European model is more objective and hence preferred. The Indian Supreme Court accepted the doctrine of proportionality in the year 2000. Yet even today the Indian legal system has not come to terms with the doctrine. There is hardly any case where the doctrine has been practically applied. The need of the hour is to increasingly apply the doctrine of proportionality to review administrative action in India.

El embarazo adolescente es una condición que sigue teniendo diferentes aristas y constituye un problema multifactorial y de múltiples formas de abordaje. Y al ser un problema de Salud Pública creciente, es necesario establecer una forma de abordaje desde el al punto de vista tanto Médico como legal. Es una investigación cualitativa, de tipo exploratorio, fenomenológico. Se incluyeron a 8 gestantes adolescentes atendidas en el Centro de Salud “Perú-Korea Bellavista” – Callao, entre octubre 2018 a febrero 2019, con edades entre 12 a 17 años de edad, y cuyo Padre y/o tutor autorizó la realización de la entrevista. Se usaron técnicas de análisis de fuente documental, análisis de jurisprudencia, entrevistas a profundidad, análisis de normas. El análisis fue mediante triangulación cualitativa. Sobre los aspectos médicos, las gestantes adolescentes reciben un buen trato de parte de las profesionales, perciben los ambientes como insuficiente e inadecuados para una atención con privacidad, siendo una debilidad los trámites administrativos para una cita. Sobre los aspectos legales, se hace un análisis del Marco Jurídico Legal respecto a la adecuación de las leyes y normativas a la salud de la etapa de vida adolescente, así como el rol protector o tuitivo del estado. Se concluye que los aspectos médicos y legales se cumplen parcialmente en el C.S. “Perú Korea Bellavista”, no tanto por una responsabilidad directa de los profesionales, sino de las condiciones de la oferta de servicios de salud. El rol tuitivo o de protección del estado se ve vulnerado por diversos aspectos.

Could Hemokinin-1 (HK-1) be a Novel Candidate Biomarker for Sarcoidosis?
Authors: KORKMAZ Celalettin , AKDAĞ Turan
Published: August 2023

Aim: Sarcoidosis is a systemic inflammatory disease and characterized by the presence of non-caseating granulomas which may affect all organs in the body. Some studies suggest an association between peptides and sarcoidosis. The goal of the study was to investigate the biomarker values of serum hemokinin-1 (HK-1) and adropin levels in sarcoidosis and to assess their role in the disease course.
Patients and Methods: The study was carried out in a university hospital between April 2021 and February 2022. Thirty-eight patients with diagnosed sarcoidosis (14 men and 24 women) and 38 healthy (14 men and 24 women) individuals were enrolled in the study. Demographic characteristics, age, gender, disease duration, and extrapulmonary involvement of the patients were enrolled. HK-1 and adropin levels were measured via the sandwich ELISA (enzyme linked immunosorbent assay) method.
Results: HK-1 level was elevated in the sarcoidosis patients than in the healthy individuals, these differences were significant statistically (0.67±0.23 and 0.54±0.24 ng/ml, p=0.012). The serum levels of adropin were measured as 207.84±246.72 ng/L in the sarcoidosis patients group and 151.16±171.76 ng/L in the healthy individuals group. No significant differences were determined in terms of the adropin levels in the patient's group when compared to the healthy individuals group (p=0.076). Serum adropin were negatively correlated with BAL CD4+ levels (r=-,880 and p=0.002) and positively correlated with BAL CD8+ levels (r=,697 and p=0.037).
Conclusions: At the study, it is determined that patients with sarcoidosis show significantly higher HK-1 levels than healthy controls, and HK-1 may be a useful non-invasive diagnostic biomarker for this disease. From the literature, serum HK-1 and adropin levels have not been investigated in sarcoidosis, yet. To clarify this topic, further and larger size studies are needed.

Published: August 2023

Abstract

Aims: To investigate the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) texture analysis (TA) in the detection of metastatic lymph nodes in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).

Material and methods: Between January 2020 and October 2021, 15 NPC patients with 32 metastatic lymph nodes and 30 healthy subjects with benign lymph nodes were included in the study. The texture features compared between metastatic and benign lymph nodes. The independent predictor parameters of metastatic lymph nodes were determined using multivariate regression analysis. Receiver operator characteristics (ROC) analysis was used to evaluate the diagnostic performance of the regression models.

Results: The first order texture features did not differ significantly between groups (p>0.05). Except for correlation in metastatic lymph nodes, all gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) and gray-level run length matrix (GLRLM) features were significantly different (p<0.05). The GLCM features of joint entropy, joint energy, and maximum probability; and the GLRLM features of gray level non uniformity and low gray level run emphasis were independent predictors of metastatic lymph nodes. The area under the curve (AUC) values for the GLCM regression model and GLRLM regression model were 0.975 and 0.928, respectively.

Conclusion: MRI texture analysis may be useful to detect metastatic lymph nodes in patients with NPC by providing quantitative information on tissue heterogeneity and cellular composition.

KHIYĀR: MANIFESTASI KEADILAN EKONOMI ISLAM (KAJIAN HADIS RIWAYAT IBNU MĀJĀH NO. 2172)
Authors: Amirah Luthfiyah , Anugrah Isfa Arrasyi Muh. , Husain Hukmiah
Published: August 2023

This research aims to describe the concept of Khiyār as an effort to realize economic justice in Islamic business. This research uses a literature study research method with a qualitative descriptive approach. The data sources of this research are primary data in the form of verses of the Qur'an and Hadith, as well as secondary data in the form of books and articles related to the focus of the research discussion. The results show that in the sale and purchase transaction there is Khiyār, which is a situation where consumers have the right to continue or cancel the sale and purchase if they feel unsuitable for the size/color of the goods, do not understand the usefulness of the goods and there are defects in the goods. Justice is created when both parties do not feel injustice, the seller is not oppressed by the buyer and the buyer does not feel oppressed by the seller. The right of Khiyār plays an important role in consumer protection and prevents unfair buying and selling practices. With Khiyār, economic justice can be realized by giving individuals the opportunity to make the best decision for themselves in order to achieve benefits and prevent regrets in the future. Khiyār is one of the proofs of how perfect Islam is in regulating a transaction so that both parties (seller and buyer) feel mutually satisfied with the contract they are carrying out, as Allah says in QS. An-Nisa'/4:29.

Published: August 2023

Background: Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome (BHDS), also known as Hornstein–Knickenberg syndrome is a rare, autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by a triad of clinical manifestations: skin fibrofolliculomas, renal tumors, and multiple pulmonary cysts. The exact incidence of BHDS syndrome is unknown. This hereditary syndrome is caused by mutations in the folliculin (FLCN) gene, located on chromosome 17p11.2, which encodes the folliculin protein. Objective: This case report aims to highlight the importance of increased vigilance and long-term follow-up in BHDS patients, even decades after surgical intervention, to detect and manage potential pulmonary complications effectively. Case presentation: We present a unique case of spontaneous pneumothorax recurrence in a 63-year-old patient with a history of Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome. The patient had undergone surgical treatment for pneumothorax 30 years ago and remained asymptomatic until presenting to our clinic with acute dyspnea and a dry cough. A recurrent pneumothorax was diagnosed and treated with a chest tube. Further chest imaging revealed extensive ground-glass opacities and cysts in both lungs. The patient was diagnosed with active pneumonia. A conservative approach was adopted due to the pneumonia diagnosis, and the patient showed a successful recovery without pneumothorax recurrence. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of long-term follow-up in patients with Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome and previous pneumothorax episodes.

Results and Discussion: The author of the book explained and proposed how to educate the public on how medical advances are made and how inferences and evidence are generated and appraised - in the best tradition of evidence- based medicine while highlighting uncertainties and inevitable trade-offs that accompany science, policies, and personal choices in the attempt to arrive at most satisfactory decisions. In addition to the general public, this play’s important audiences are students and faculty in humanities disciplines and medical schools. These students are required to read many dense scientific, philosophical, and technical writings (many of which are referenced/annotated in the footnotes in the play). The play provides an exceptional teaching tool, which includes over 35 theoretical concepts to show how they can be applied to decisions relevant to all of us and what shared decision- making entails. Conclusion: Author’s answer on the question “How to make the life and death medical decisions?” coul’d and shoul’d be: The method of using a playwright and Socrates dialogue format to connect the science of uncertainty with personal humanity decision will be appropriate. It will be important and quiet usefull for phisicians and, also, patients in healthcare practice, as joined decision makers.
Overview of the thermal properties of rocks and sediments in Slovenia
Authors: Rajver Dušan , Adrinek Simona
Published: August 2023

The use of geothermal energy, which comes from both deep geothermal systems and the shallow underground, has been developing rapidly in the last few decades. The purpose of the paper is to present the results of measurements of the thermal properties of all rock samples and sediments that were available from boreholes, two tunnels and numerous surface locations in Slovenia in the period from 1982 to the end of 2022. In relation to the shallow geothermal potential, a special effort is needed to characterize the thermal properties of the rocks and sediments and to implement thermal energy transfer technology. In this sense, knowledge of the thermal conductivity of rocks and sediments is required to assess the possibility of low-enthalpy heat exchange in a given local area. The largest number of measurements was taken to determine thermal conductivity. Determinations of thermal diffusivity were carried out on a much smaller number of rock and sediment samples, as well as determinations of radiogenic heat production in rocks. The results of thermal conductivity measurements on 430 samples from 119 wells, 20 samples from two tunnels and 156 samples from surface locations are shown. The highest thermal conductivities are shown by samples of dolomite, quartz conglomerate and conglomerate, phyllonite, quartz phyllite and gneiss, while the lowest are measured in sediments such as clay, lignite with clay, peat and dry sand. The determined radioactive heat generation is the lowest for milonitized dolomite and highest for dark grey sandstone with shale clasts. Our results are comparable to those already published worldwide, and they could be the basis for the possible future Slovenian standard for the thermal properties of measured rocks and sediments.

O biodiesel é um biocombustível renovável que pode ser obtido através do processo de transesterificação. Assim como as demais atividades industriais o processo de produção de biodiesel apresenta riscos e perigos à saúde ambiental, pois em sua produção envolve substâncias tóxicas, como o hidróxido de sódio e/ou de potássio que podem provocar intoxicação, e substâncias alcoólicas inflamáveis como o metanol, que quando submetidas a altas temperaturas, caso ocorra algum evento indesejado e inesperado, pode causar danos materiais e financeiro, além de queimaduras nos funcionários, visto o grande risco de explosão. Nesse contexto, este trabalho tem por objetivo realizar a simulação do processo de transesterificação do biodiesel através do software DWSIM, analisar os seus componentes e montar um Programa de Gerenciamento de Risco (PGR) contendo um inventário de risco e plano de ação, visando a prevenção e minimização dos riscos do processo de produção do biodiesel via transesterificação

Quando ocorre a hospitalização de uma criança cronicamente adoecida, o papel de cuidador é majoritariamente atribuído à mulher, que ocupa a função de responsável em todas as etapas do tratamento até o momento da alta. Em decorrência da internação, há uma ruptura da vida cotidiana, em detrimento da imersão no mundo asséptico, silencioso e prescritivo do cenário hospitalar. Experimentam uma espécie de confinamento, distanciando-se do mundo externo.  O presente estudo visa analisar como se configura as relações sociais das mulheres cuidadoras que permaneceram mais de um ano e meio vivendo exclusivamente dentro de um hospital acompanhando seus filhos.  O estudo foi realizado em um hospital público no Rio de Janeiro, especializado em saúde materno-infantil. Utilizamos o método qualitativo e, para análise das entrevistas, operamos com a narrativa de histórias de vida. Nos resultados as narrativas foram organizadas cronologicamente em passado, presente e futuro em relação ao momento da hospitalização. Foi evidenciado que ao longo dos três períodos, a internação impactou nas relações sociais, afetando o relacionamento com os outros filhos(as) e com os seus cônjuges. Dentre os impactos emocionais identificamos o sentimento de tristeza, raiva, angústia e medo frente a sensação de aprisionamento e cobrança de permanecerem no hospital de forma solitária.  Entretanto, foi identificado potencial de resiliência quanto aos esforços para voltar aos seus lares e retomar a própria vida.
The English Majored Students' Perceptions of Using Flipgrid in Online Speaking Classrooms
Authors: Pham Que Anh
Published: August 2023

In this day and age, as COVID-19 has led many schools to study online, technology plays an important role in facilitating classrooms. Speaking seems to be one of the most difficult skills to study online, as this needs direct communication among students. There has been much research on using technological applications to assist students in online learning. However, studies exploring university students' perceptions of online platforms such as Flipgrid are quite scarce. This mixed-method study aimed to explore that aspect by using questionnaires and interviews to investigate students' perspectives after a course using Flipgrid in online speaking classrooms. The participants were first-year students who studied online speaking modules in Foreign Language Department at Van Lang University. The result showed that students believed that Flipgrid created a sharing environment for them to learn from their friends and lower their anxiety as this did not bring too much pressure they have when they needed to present in front of face-to-face classrooms. The findings also revealed that there were some discrepancies in the perceptions between high and low-level students in terms of improving their pronunciation. High achievers tend to value this benefit more than their lower counterparts.
