Published: January 2024

Embryonic zebrafish represent a useful test system to screen substances for their ability to perturb development. The exposure scenarios, endpoints captured, and data analysis vary among the laboratories who conduct screening. A lack of harmonization impedes the comparison of the substance potency and toxicity outcomes across laboratories and may hinder the broader adoption of this model for regulatory use. The Systematic Evaluation of the Application of Zebrafish in Toxicology (SEAZIT) initiative was developed to investigate the sources of variability in toxicity testing. This initiative involved an interlaboratory study to determine whether experimental parameters altered the developmental toxicity of a set of 42 substances (3 tested in duplicate) in three diverse laboratories. An initial dose-range-finding study using in-house protocols was followed by a definitive study using four experimental conditions: chorion-on and chorion-off using both static and static renewal exposures. We observed reasonable agreement across the three laboratories as 33 of 42 test substances (78.6%) had the same activity call. However, the differences in potency seen using variable in-house protocols emphasizes the importance of harmonization of the exposure variables under evaluation in the second phase of this study. The outcome of the Def will facilitate future practical discussions on harmonization within the zebrafish research community.

Authors: Lee Seokwon , Ok Seung-Yeop , Moon Hyo-Bang , Seo Sung-Chul , Ra Jin-Sung
Published: January 2024

This study introduces a novel concept approach for a read-across assessment, considering species sensitivity differences among phosphate chemicals within structurally similar compound groups. Twenty-five organic chemicals, with a log Kow of 5 or less, were categorized into three functional groups based on acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition as a specific mode of action (MOA). The short-term aquatic toxicity data (LC50) for fish, crustaceans, and insects were collected from the U.S. EPA Ecotoxicology (ECOTOX) Knowledgebase. A geometric mean calculation method was applied for multiple toxic endpoints. Performance metrics for the new read-across concept, including correlation coefficient, bias, precision, and accuracy, were calculated. Overall, a slightly higher overestimation (49.2%) than underestimation (48.4%) in toxicity predictions was observed in two case studies. In Case study I, a strong positive correlation (r = 0.93) between the predicted and known toxicity values of target chemicals was observed, while in Case study II, with limited information on species and their ecotoxicity, showed a moderate correlation (r = 0.75). Overall, the bias and precision for Case study I were 0.32 ± 0.01, while Case study II showed 0.65 ± 0.06; however, the relative bias (%) increased from 37.65% (Case study I) to 91.94% (Case study II). Bland–Altman plots highlight the mean differences of 1.33 (Case study I) and 1.24 (Case study II), respectively. The new read-across concept, focusing on AChE inhibition and structural similarity, demonstrated good reliability, applicability, and accuracy with minimal bias. Future studies are needed to evaluate various types of chemical substances, diverse modes of action, functional groups, toxic endpoints, and test species to ensure overall comprehensiveness and robustness in toxicity predictions.

Published: January 2024

Leptospirosis, also known as Weil’s disease, is a febrile tropical disease of humans and diverse animals. The maintenance hosts of the infectious pathogen, Leptospira spp., are primarily rodents, while other warm-blooded animals and some reptiles are secondary or transient hosts of this pathogen. African giant pouched rats (Cricetomys spp.) have been identified to be important maintenance hosts of pathogenic leptospires in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. This study assessed the seroprevalence of Leptospira spp. in the African giant pouched rats of the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), Tanzania, where there is close human, domestic animal, and wildlife interaction. A total of 50 African giant pouched rats were sampled between July 2020 and December 2021. Blood sera were screened for specific leptospiral antibodies using a microscopic agglutination test (MAT), while urine and kidney tissues were examined for the pathogen and pathogen-specific genes using cultures and polymerase chain reactions (PCR), respectively. The pathogen detection varied from 0% in cultures to 6% via the MAT and 20% via PCR. The Fisher exact test was applied to compare positive cases detected through the diagnostic tests, and showed a significant difference in the indirect and direct detection of Leptospira serovars via the MAT and PCR. We conclude that pathogenic Leptospira serovar are found in the NCA and recommend that the NCA authority raises awareness of the existence of the Leptospira serovar in giant African pouched rats, and possibly other rodents. The NCA should initiate appropriate management strategies, including the guided disposal of household garbage, which is the major attractant of rodents to residential areas. Where necessary, the NCA should carry out limited rodent control and periodic monitoring of the pathogen carrier (rodent) populations.
Features of Organizing Parallel Import in the Russian Federation
Authors:   Vladimir State University named after Alexander Grigorievich and Nikolai Grigorievich Stoletovs, Vladimir, Aksenov I. A.
Published: January 2024

Parallel imports today are one of the main tools for stabilizing and supporting the Russian economy. The reason for the legalization of parallel imports was the anti-Russian sanctions introduced in the spring of 2022. The article refl ects the features of the organization of parallel imports in the Russian Federation, in particular, its essence, implementation mechanism, history of development in the Russian Federation, legal regulation. The article analyzes the reasons for the legalization of parallel imports in the Russian Federation. The author assesses the volumes and features of parallel imports in the Russian Federation. The article identifies a number of problems in implementing the parallel import scheme, which the author includes: the lack of legislative regulation of parallel import, the low level of protection of intellectual rights in the Russian Federation, diffi culties with warranty service, etc. The article reflects that the legalization of parallel imports under sanctions is becoming one of the relevant and effective ways of conducting foreign trade activities. The author of the study states that the peculiarities of organizing parallel imports also carry certain risks for the Russian market. The author reflects that the legalization of parallel imports in Russia is an emergency measure that is not capable of completely replacing the scarce supplies of imported goods and is aimed only at stabilizing the economic situation in the short and medium term.
Evolution of Brazil’s Strategic Behavior Towards Smaller MERCOSUR Countries in the XXI Century
Authors:   MGIMO University, Moscow, National Committee for BRICS Research, Moscow, Kazelko A. A.
Published: January 2024

In foreign policy documents and public statements by senior Brazilian officials, the development of the Southern common market (MERCOSUR) is mentioned as a foreign policy priority, but the dynamics of integrational processes in it are far from being positive due to the economic asymmetry of the countries represented — major players — Brazil and Argentina and smaller economies — Uruguay and Paraguay. The authors of the article considers a foreign policy strategy of large countries in relation to smaller ones in the association as the reason for the diffi culties in eliminating the economic asymmetry in MERCOSUR. The purpose of this article is to analyze Brazil’s strategic behavior towards Uruguay and Paraguay. The article proves that the slowdown in the pace of deepening integration in MERCOSUR is directly proportional to the decrease of the importance of Uruguay and Paraguay in Brazil’s foreign policy strategy. The author of the article focuses on the evolution of Brazil’s strategic behavior towards Uruguay and Paraguay: it underwent a transformation from a policy of pressure in the 1990s to Brazil’s mediation in regional confl icts in the 2000s. In the late 2000s, as President Lula da Silva’s plans to deepen political integration in MERCOSUR showed their ineff ectiveness due to the country’s mounting asymmetries with Uruguay and Paraguay, integration into MERCOSUR gradually began to play a secondary role in Brazil’s foreign policy strategy. During the presidencies of Rousseff and Temer, this trend only intensified, reaching its peak after President Bolsonaro came to power. The fi rst part of the article presents theoretical aspects of Brazil’s strategic behavior in relation to small member countries of the association. The second part of the article will analyze specific examples of changes in Brazil’s foreign policy strategy towards Uruguay and Paraguay. Finally, the conclusion outlines the full evolution of Brazil’s strategy towards the small MERCOSUR countries from the 1990s to 2022, and will also focus on the current situation in the association.

Published: January 2024

Key Points

In the largest survey of US nephrology providers on conservative kidney management (CKM), most reported limited experience with CKM and varied approaches and local resources to provide CKM.

There is need to enhance provider training and surveillance of CKM practices and to develop models of CKM that optimize care delivery and outcomes for these patients.

Background

Clinical practice guidelines advocate for conservative kidney management (CKM), a planned, holistic, patient-centered approach to caring for patients who forgo initiation of RRT. Little is known about the extent to which current care practices meet these expectations.

Methods

We conducted a cross-sectional survey of a national sample of nephrology providers recruited through US professional societies between March and July 2022 and inquired about their experiences with caring for patients who forgo RRT and their capacity to provide CKM.

Results

Overall, 203 nephrology providers (age 47±12 years, 53.2% White, 66.0% female), of which 49.8% were nephrologists and 50.2% advanced practice providers, completed the survey. Most (70.3%) reported that <10% of their practice comprised patients who had forgone RRT. Most indicated that they always or often provided symptom management (81.8%), multidisciplinary care (68.0%), tools to support shared decision making about treatment of advanced kidney disease (66.3%), and psychological support (52.2%) to patients who forgo RRT, while less than half reported that they always or often provided staff training on the care of these patients (47.8%) and spiritual support (41.4%). Most providers reported always or often working with primary care (72.9%), palliative medicine (68.8%), hospice (62.6%), social work (58.1%), and dietitian (50.7%) services to support these patients, while only a minority indicated that they always or often offered chaplaincy (23.2%), physical and/or occupational therapy (22.8%), psychology or psychiatry (31.5%), and geriatric medicine (28.1%).

Conclusions

Many nephrology providers have limited experience with caring for patients who forgo RRT. Our findings highlight opportunities to optimize comprehensive CKM care for these patients.

Kesuburan tanah pada berbagai perkebunan teh bervariasi sesuai dengan jenis tanah (kesuburan potensial) dan kadar hara yang tersedia dalam tanah (kesuburan aktual). Kajian ini merangkum data analisa tanah dan tanaman pada beberapa ordo tanah yang terletak di perkebunan teh Jawa Barat (Andisol, Entisol, dan Inceptisol) tahun 2014 dan Sumatera Utara (Ultisol) tahun 2012. Jawa Barat mempunyai potensi besar dalam pengembangan komoditas teh karena memiliki areal perkebunan teh cukup luas, begitu juga untuk wilayah Sumatera Utara. Makalah ini bertujuan mengevaluasi status hara tanah dan tanaman untuk mengetahui kesuburan tanah aktual dan kesehatan tanaman. Hasil analisa tanah menunjukkan status hara P, K dan Mg sebagian besar pada tanah Andisol, Inceptisol dan Entisol adalah rendah, sedangkan Ultisol menunjukkan hara P dan K tanah tinggi. Status hara N daun rendah pada Andisol dan Ultisol mengindikasikan sudah mulai terjadi defisiensi N, begitu juga pada 4 ordo tanah bahwa status hara K daun sangat rendah diindikasikan telah terjadi defisiensi K pada tanaman. Hasil analisa tersebut dapat membantu penentuan rekomendasipemupukan dan pengelolaan tanaman teh khususnya perkebunan teh Jawa Barat dan Sumatera Utara.
Beach-ridge formation as a possible indicator for an open Limfjord – North Sea connection
Authors: Freiesleben Trine , Rokkedahl Berntsen Lasse , Blæsbjerg Maria , Høffer Emilia , Rasmussen Christian , Krog Larsen Nicolaj
Published: January 2024

Raised beach ridges are prograded sequences of wave-built deposits that may provide valuable information about past relative sea-level changes, climate change and coastal evolution. In the Limfjord in northern Denmark, the Early and Middle Holocene sea-level changes are well-constrained. However, our understanding of Late Holocene sea-level fluctuations is limited, and the exact period when the coastal barrier between the Limfjord and the North Sea formed remains uncertain. In this study, we use optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) dating to determine the age of raised beach ridges at Gjellerodde in the western part of the Limfjord. The OSL ages presented here indicate that the beach ridges formed during three periods at 3.3–2.7, 1.4–1.0, 0.2–0.1 ka. In addition our data suggest a c. 0.2 mm/yr relative sea-level fall during the Late Holocene. The three distinct periods of beach-ridge formation coincide with periods when the Limfjord was open towards the North Sea as documented in historical records and marine records. This suggests that OSL dating of beach ridges can be used as a potential indicator for determining when the connection between the Limfjord and the North Sea was open in the Late Holocene.
The Study on the legal issues over the compulsory management of the resale royalty right under the Art Promotion Act
Authors:   LAW RESEARCH INSTITUTE CHUNGBUK NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Lee Dongki , Park Kyoung-Shin
Published: January 2024

After a long controversy over the pros and cons, the resale royalty right, also known as the ʻdroit de suite,ʼ was eventually introduced in Korea following the enactment of the Art Promotion Act dedicated to supporting the fine arts ecosystem. In relation to the enforcement of resale royalty right, the Art Promotion Act stipulates the collection and distribution of the resale profits should be made through institutions dedicated to the promotion of the art as designated by the Minister of the MCST, or non-profit organizations comprised of individuals entitled to the Artistʼs Resale Right. However, the requirements for designation of the organization executing the resale royalty right, cancellation of designation, details of procedures for collection and distribution of resale royalties, and management fees, etc. should be detailed through the Enforcement Decree. Therefore, it is necessary to prepare detailed regulations and systems to ensure the effectiveness of the resale royalty right during the four-year grace period until the implementation of provisions stipulating the resale royalty right. Accordingly, this paper reviewed the mandatory collective management of the resale royalty right. For this purpose, Chapter 2 reviews related regulations under the Art Promotion Act and examines overseas cases where the resale royalty right has been introduced and implemented. Next, Chapter 3 addresses the legal relationship of the resale royalty right holder and the collective management organization in charge of the collection and distribution of resale royalties and examines the direction of enactment of the Enforcement Decree of the Art Promotion Act related to the enforcement of the resale royalty right and other legal and institutional considerations to ensure the effectiveness of the enforcement of the resale royalty right.
Reflections on the Concept of Family in the Constitution and the Same-Sex Marriage: a Comparative Law Perspective
Authors:   LAW RESEARCH INSTITUTE CHUNGBUK NATIONAL UNIVERSITY, Lee Hyun Jung
Published: January 2024

When societal conflicts rage over an important issue, such as those surrounding same-sex marriage, it is not easy to find a way to resolve them. In terms of democratic legitimacy, it is preferable for parliament to resolve the issue, but if that process does not work and human rights violations continue, the judicial process could resolve complex political issues rather than leaving them unresolved. Court judgments have emerged as a form of civil discourse linking judicial activism, social movements, and human rights movements. Additionally, civil discourse on law, rights, and justice is no longer the exclusive domain of experts because judicial decisions have become a catalyst of democratic communication between people and the state. Moreover, judicial dialogues play a positive role in overcoming the limitations of democratic institutions. For this reason, the active role of the courts is not incompatible with democratic principles but also enforces the active obligation of the state to address issues such as grave human rights violations caused by delayed political decision-making. The Same-Sex Marriage Act was passed by the German Federal Council (Bundesrat) on July 7, 2017, and was passed by both houses of parliament without constitutional amendments. This would not have been possible without the role of the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany. It has made a significant contribution by ensuring that the constitutional concept of family is interpreted more dynamically to reflect changing realities and by removing a number of discrimination surrounding marriage. A complete ban on same-sex marriage is hardly a necessary restriction. It is also contrary to the Law of Balancing as it is difficult for a state restricting individual freedoms and rights to justify the serious harm that same-sex couples would suffer as a result of a complete ban.
Selection of a reliable energy source suppling domestic hot water (DHW) system in the kindergarten – a case study
Authors: Krawczyk Dorota Anna , Sadowska Beata , Kłopotowski Maciej
Published: January 2024

Renewable energy sources (RESs) are used more and more frequently as energy sources for heating and domestic hot water (DHW). However, there are many factors influencing the energy efficiency, thus also ecological benefits. Before making a decision what kind of RES is useful and reliable, a comprehensive analysis should be conducted taking into account technical, financial and ecological factors. This paper discusses different variants of energy sources that could be applied in a kindergarten building for preparing hot water, in place of existing solution (district heating system, DHS). An air heat pump (AHP) with photovoltaic panels (PV) were considered the most reliable energy sources in the analysed building, in terms of economic and environmental considerations. The simple payback time (SPBT) for this investment was estimated as 14.55 years. This solution causes the lowest CO2 emissions. Another system with solar collectors supplying hot water preparation in the heat center can be also recommended. The simple payback time in this case was slightly higher (14.94 years) and what is more, a decrease in CO2 emissions was observed compared to the actual conditions.

Nesta edição da Revista Iberoamericana de Educação oferecemos um conjunto de tratamentos epistemológicos, antropológicos, históricos e pedagógicos de caráter crítico-reflexivo, que abordam a relação entre corpo, saber e poder; neles se evidencia uma preocupação comum pela relação existente entre corpo, escola e sociedade. Se contemplam alguns pontos de divergência: consideram que a escola não é neutra; vêem nela uma instituição que, através de estratégias de lugar e de enclausuramento (escolarização), aposta pela subjetivação (sustentação), pela socialização e pela objetivação; dimensionam o corpo como um espaço de tensões culturais e de operações disciplinares das instituições e dos paradigmas sociais; entendem o corpo como uma construção política, histórica, social e cultural sobre a qual se articulam redes de saber-poder.

Os textos que publicamos mostram uma grande diversidade temática, pretendem referenciar algumas das direções das representações do corporal que vêm circulando pelo interior da instituição formadora dos formadores do corpo em nossa região. O conteúdo, em seu conjunto, deixa ver alguns dos interrogantes que hoje em dia mobilizam a pesquisa universitária sobre o corporal.

Cross-linguistic Generalizations in the Verb-Production Treatment of Bilingual Aphasic Speakers
Authors: Obeidat Hussein A. , Abu Jamous Heba
Published: January 2024

Objectives: This study investigates cross- linguistic generalizations in the verb-production therapy for one bilingual speaker with non-fluent aphasia.
Methods: Intensive sixty-hour treatment sessions over a period of 12 weeks was provided for an unbalanced bilingual speaker with mild to severe aphasia. A combination of semantically and phonologically cued verbs as well as communication-based treatment were administrated. The treatment was provided in the patient’s L1. The Bilingual Aphasia Test and action-naming pictures from The Newcastle University Aphasia Therapy Resources were used for the pre-and-post-therapy assessments for both languages.
Results: A cross-language generalization was reported from L1 to L2. A significant generalization was found in one linguistic domain, i.e., semantics. A within-language generalization was found, i.e., the untrained verbs of L1 showed significant improvement. Nonetheless, inhibition of the semantic domain of the patient’s L1 was reported. Providing treatment for the stronger language of a bilingual aphasic individual could lead to cross-language transfer to the untreated weaker language.
Conclusions: We suggest that the cross-language generalization is reported due to the structural overlap between the two languages.

النتائج: بَيَّنَت النتائجُ دورَ الحرفيين والصوفيين في الإدارة والحياة الاجتماعية ومدى السُّلطة التي تمتعوا بها. كما بَيَّنَت أنَّ ظاهرة وصول هؤلاء الحرفيين والصوفيين نتيجةٌ طبيعيَّة للرعاية المملوكيَّة المستمرَّة للمؤسسات التعليميَّة الخيريَّة والصوفيَّة، التي علَّمت أفرادًا من الطبقات الدُّنيا وأهَّلتهم للانضمام للمؤسسة الإداريَّة والعمل في مؤسسات الدولة، وَمِنْ ثَمَّ التدرُّج في السُّلَّم الاجتماعي وصنع الثروة واكتساب القوة، وَيُعَدُّ ابنُ النحاس شاهدًا على ذلك. وأبرزت النتائجُ أيضًا أنَّه لم يكن لوصول الحرفي إلى مكانة العالم والمفكِّر تأثيرٌ ملحوظ في مكانة الفنون والفنانين، وأنَّه ليس للأعمال الفنيَّة اليدويَّة التي صنعوها دورٌ في وصولهم، وأيضًا اكتسابهم في نهاية المطاف سلطة كبيرة، حتى بلغ بهم الأمر الوصول إلى السلطة السياسية. وكذلك حال شيوخ الصوفية، وهم طبقة مشابهة لأصحاب الحرف، ظهروا كشخصيات قوية وموثوقة، وتم تبجيلهم من قبل الطبقة الحاكمة وعامة الناس على حد سواء.
الخلاصة: خلصت الدراسة أن الحرف والفنون لم تكن تلقى الاهتمام والتتبع لدى المؤرخين لولا وصول أصحابها للسلطة.

The term person under the purview of the PITA encompasses partnerships, which, includes joint venture. The present study aims to elucidate the intricate interplay of relationships and transactions within a joint venture, with a specific focus on comprehending the underlying rationale for considering the entire joint venture as the chargeable person under the PITA, as opposed to taxing individual partners separately. The methodology is based on Research Onion Framework with qualitative research and inductive approach leveraging on action research. Analysing literature review to delves into the structural of the joint ventures and the preparatory measures aimed at ensuring the equitable participation of the involved parties in the joint venture arrangement, particularly in managing various alternative activities that may arise alongside the primary Joint Operating Agreement (JOA) activities, often manifesting as sole risk projects. The engagement in various non-monetary activities and the collective contributions of all partners, particularly in mitigating risks and ensuring the success of upstream exploration and production, are regarded as contributions that may not lend themselves to a straightforward division, which support the joint ventures as a chargeable person. The outcomes derived from this methodological approach culminate in a model that elucidates the rationale for taxing joint ventures as opposed to individual partners within the joint venture. This clarification is essential for all involved parties, including taxation agencies, industry stakeholders, and policymakers. Novelty: The study represents an initiative within Malaysia, to explore the interpretation of the PITA. The motivation was sparked by inquiries from industry stakeholders, who expressed apprehensions regarding the tax assessment processes, whether in the context of joint ventures or individual taxpayers.

EVALUATING TEACHER’S USE OF L1 IN ENGLISH EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR UNDERGRADUATES IN CHINA
Authors: Ruan Xinbei , Din Wardatul Akmam , Swanto Suyansah , Huang Yanyun
Published: January 2024

This paper delves into the contentious issue of language choice in English as a Second Language (ESL) classrooms, particularly focusing on whether teachers should use students' first language (L1) or exclusively employ English (L2). The debate surrounding this topic has persisted for years, with proponents of L2 immersion arguing for increased English input to enhance language proficiency, while others advocate for the multifaceted roles L1 can play in the learning process. Adopting questionnaires and a focus group interview to analyze the current state of English teaching for undergraduates in Chinese universities, this study reveals the challenges faced by students, including dissatisfaction with existing teaching methods and their own proficiency levels. The research sheds light on the prevalent bilingual approach employed by teachers, balancing English and Chinese based on specific classroom situations. Despite efforts to implement monolingual classrooms, challenges arise due to linguistic diversity among students and the complexities of teaching intricate concepts solely in English. The paper also examines historical pedagogical methods, emphasizing the use of L1 to facilitate understanding and emotional connection, and contrasting approaches advocating maximal L2 input. By critically assessing language choice based on teaching goals, students' needs, and contextual factors, educators can strike a delicate balance, fostering linguistic development and preparing students for the globalized world effectively. This study emphasizes the importance of justifying language choices in ESL classrooms, ensuring a conducive learning environment while optimizing language input for students' benefit.

Published: January 2024

The discussion regarding the beautiful names of Allah or Asmaul Husna has been ongoing since the early days of Islam until now. There are three hadith that enumerate these names in detail, namely the narrations of al-Tirmizi, Ibn Majah, and al-Hakim. Other narrations were narrated without a detailed breakdown of these names. Ibn Hazm was among the early scholars who exerted effort in enumerating these names. By using the methods of analysis and textual studies, the objective of study is to compare similarities and differences between these names. The results of the study indicate that the enumeration of these names is not firmly attributed (marfuʻ) to the Prophet but instead, it is an opinion (ijtihad) from the narrator himself that has been inserted (mudraj) to complete the hadith of Asmaul Husna. Ibn Hazm presents 25 other names that do not match the narrations of al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah, and al-Hakim.
