Published: January 2024

Background

COVID-19 pandemic restrictions may have influenced behaviours related to weight.

Aim

To describe patterns of weight change among adults living in England with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and/or hypertension during the pandemic.

Design and setting

An observational cohort study using the routinely collected health data of approximately 40% of adults living in England, accessed through the OpenSAFELY service inside TPP.

Method

Clinical and sociodemographic characteristics associated with rapid weight gain (>0.5 kg/m2/year) were investigated using multivariable logistic regression.

Results

Data were extracted on adults with T2D (n= 1 231 455, 43.9% female, and 76.0% White British) or hypertension (n= 3 558 405, 49.7% female, and 84.3% White British). Adults with T2D lost weight overall (median δ = −0.1 kg/m2/year [interquartile range {IQR} −0.7–0.4]). However, rapid weight gain was common (20.7%) and associated with the following: sex (male versus female: adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.78 [95% confidence interval {CI} = 0.77 to 0.79]); age (older age reduced odds, for example, aged 60–69 years versus 18–29 years: aOR 0.66 [95% CI = 0.61 to 0.71]); deprivation (least deprived Index of Multiple Deprivation [IMD] quintile versus most deprived IMD quintile: aOR 0.87 [95% CI = 0.85 to 0.89]); White ethnicity (Black versus White: aOR 0.95 [95% CI = 0.92 to 0.98]); mental health conditions (for example, depression: aOR 1.13 [95% CI = 1.12 to 1.15]); and diabetes treatment (non-insulin treatment versus no pharmacological treatment: aOR 0.68 [95% CI = 0.67 to 0.69]). Adults with hypertension maintained stable weight overall (median δ = 0.0 kg/m2/year [IQR −0.6–0.5]); however, rapid weight gain was common (24.7%) and associated with similar characteristics as in T2D.

Conclusion

Among adults living in England with T2D and/or hypertension, rapid pandemic weight gain was more common among females, younger adults, those living in more deprived areas, and those with mental health conditions.
PHINICIAN CIVILIZATION AS AN EXAMPLE OF THALASSOCRACY IN THE ANCIENT MEDITERRANEAN
Authors:   Chernivtsi Institute of Trade and Economics of KNUTE, Chernivtsi, Orehowskyi Wadym
Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the disclosure and characterization of the main directions of trade and colonization activity of the population of ancient Phoenicia. The author notes that it was the Phoenicians who created a type of civilization in the Mediterranean called thalassocracy. It was characterized by a focus of economic, political and cultural life on activities related in one way or another to the sea, shipping and trade. The reason for this, as noted in the article was a small area of the country, which was unable to feed the entire population. Therefore, the Phoenicians were forced to exchange or purchase a significant part of the necessary goods from neighboring nations. They became the first "real merchants", "rulers of the ancient seas". Active trade contacts were facilitated by the high level of shipbuilding, which was famous for such cities as the Bible, Tire and Sidon. The most profitable and extremely common industry was the production of purple - a dye derived from marine mollusks. The author devoted the second part of the article to the colonization activities of the ancient Phoenicians, noting that in conducting trade, colonizing new territories, the Phoenicians acted as pioneers, explorers of new lands. One of the most impressive expeditions was the voyage of the Phoenician squadron around the African continent, which was carried out in the VI century BC by order of the Egyptian pharaoh Necho II. Natives of Phoenicia became the first in human history to cross the Mediterranean Sea from east to west. On the way here, a number of settlements were created that could serve as bases for ships, as well as strongholds in military conflicts. The most important of these was Carthage, a state that survived Phoenicia itself and for several centuries was a powerful rival of the Roman Republic. The Carthaginians continued to develop new lands and spaces. Between about 505 and 450 BC, the Senate of Carthage sent a squadron led by the navigator Gannon. Gannon's ships passed through the Strait of Gibraltar and headed south, along the coast of West Africa. The ending point of the expedition was the territory of modern Liberia. In conclusion, the author notes that the Phoenicians created one of the most prosperous civilizations in the Mediterranean. Mostly commercial nature of the latter led to the active search for new markets and colonization of open lands. Moreover, it was here that the natives of Phoenicia long dominated the waters. They made an invaluable contribution to the development of trade and the development of the sea routes of the Old World.

Do Scholars Respond Faster Than Google Trends in Discussing COVID-19 Issues? An Approach to Textual Big Data
Authors: Lam Benson Shu Yan , Chu Amanda Man Ying , Chan Jacky Ngai Lam , So Mike Ka Pui
Published: January 2024

Background:
The COVID-19 pandemic has posed various difficulties for policymakers, such as the identification of health issues, establishment of policy priorities, formulation of regulations, and promotion of economic competitiveness. Evidence-based practices and data-driven decision-making have been recognized as valuable tools for improving the policymaking process. Nevertheless, due to the abundance of data, there is a need to develop sophisticated analytical techniques and tools to efficiently extract and analyze the data.
Methods:
Using Oxford COVID-19 Government Response Tracker, we categorize the policy responses into 6 different categories: (a) containment and closure, (b) health systems, (c) vaccines, (d) economic, (e) country, and (f) others. We proposed a novel research framework to compare the response times of the scholars and the general public. To achieve this, we analyzed more than 400,000 research abstracts published over the past 2.5 years, along with text information from Google Trends as a proxy for topics of public concern. We introduced an innovative text-mining method: coherent topic clustering to analyze the huge number of abstracts.
Results:
Our results show that the research abstracts not only discussed almost all of the COVID-19 issues earlier than Google Trends did, but they also provided more in-depth coverage. This should help policymakers identify core COVID-19 issues and act earlier. Besides, our clustering method can better reflect the main messages of the abstracts than a recent advanced deep learning-based topic modeling tool.
Conclusion:
Scholars generally have a faster response in discussing COVID-19 issues than Google Trends.

Validity of Predictive Markers for Post ERCP Pancreatitis Patients: A Single Centre Study
Authors: Tendean Michael , Mambu Toar D. B. , Melatunan Leonard A.
Published: January 2024

Abstract: Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a proprietary procedure, endoscopic modality, and specialized procedure used to diagnose and treat disorders of the pancreatic and biliary systems. The incidence of reported post-ERCP complications varied among several studies including post ERCP pancreatitis (PEP), duodenal perforation, and cholangitis. In this study, the author would like to show certain intra procedural factors related to PEP incidence. This was a retrospective study of secondary data of patients undergoing ERCP procedures from 2017-2022 at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital, Manado. Length of procedure, cannulation on pancreatic duct, pancreatogram, double wire technique, and the use of certain common bile duct (CBD) stone retrieval techniques such as endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation (EPBD) were recorded and analyzed. The results showed that based on the analyzed data, the percentage of pancreas cannulation was 8%, pancreatogram 5%, double-wire technique 3%, and EPBD procedure 10%, Incidence rate of PEP in all ERCP procedures was 19%. Increased amylase/lipase enzymes were found in 13 of 24 patients (54%) who underwent cannulation; 8 of 16 patients (50%) who underwent pancreatogram; 4 of 9 patients (44%) who underwent double wire procedure; and 10 of 30 patients (33%) who underwent EPBD. This PEP could be caused by several risk factors during ERCP including cannulation, pancreatogram, double wire, and EPBD. Number of cannulation attempt could result in trauma to the ampulla. Pancreatogram could result in hydrostatic, chemical, and allergic injury. Any manipulation of the pancreas that caused trauma could trigger the incidence of PEP. Assessment of the occurrence of PEP was based on increases in lipase and amylase enzyme values by four times the normal value and tested 6 hours after procedure. We could reduce the incidence of PEP by providing prophylactic therapy before ERCP. In conclusion, PEP is the most common complication in ERCP procedures and can be risky in patients with high risk factors. In this study, factors that affecting the incidence of PEP are cannulation, pancreatogram, double wire and EPBD.

The importance of preoperative evaluation to predict the outcome of percutaneous nephrostomy
Authors: Datu Ronald J. , Arianto Eko , Astram Ari , Toreh Christof
Published: January 2024

Abstract: Percutaneous nephrostomy (PCN) is an invasive procedure equal to a grade 4 penetrating kidney trauma. It should be carefully considered whether has a greater benefit or risk. There are currently no parameters or scores to predict the outcome of nephrostomy in our center. This study aimed to conduct a review to find out whether there were parameters or scores that could be used to predict the outcome of nephrostomy. This research used relevant studies obtained from Clinical Key, PubMed, Semantic Scholar, Dimensions, and Science Direct published in the last 10 years and written in English. Studies on children and transplant cases were excluded. Studies that met the PICO criteria were selected. The results showed that of the 141 articles collected, and filtered with inclusion criteria, exclusion criteria, and PICO criteria, finally the remaining were three studies selected. The studies discussed about classification, SFU grading system, and complication of nephrostomy; significant variables affecting recoverability of renal function; patients’ characteristics and outcomes of double J ureteral stenting (DJS) and PCN; and 12-month-post-operative creatinine level change. Most patients who failed DJS had increased creatinine level. However, one of the indications for a nephrostomy was stenting failure. In conclusion, predictor factors that can affect the renal recovery after nephrostomy include kidney shape and size, pre-nephrostomy creatinine levels, urine output, state of infection, and degree of hydronephrosis. However, the evidence is still not enough. Further research is needed on the predictor factors for renal recovery after nephrostomy.

Abstract: Antineoplastic chemotherapy agents in cancer treatment can cause peripheral neuropathy. Antineoplastic agents associated with chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy include platinum-based drugs (carboplatin, cisplatin and oxaliplatin) and taxane (paclitaxel and docetaxel). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the type and cycle of chemotherapy with the level of neuropathy in malignant patients at Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital, Manado, in 2022. The results obtained 43 cancer patients aged 18-65 who underwent chemotherapy, especially drugs from the platinum group (81.4%) such as oxaliplatin (62.8%). The majority of cases were colorectal adenocarcinoma (63%). Using the Toronto Score, the majority of subjects experienced mild neuropathy (55.8%), followed by without neuropathy (32.5%) and moderate neuropathy (11.6%). Although there was an indication of a relationship between the type of chemotherapy and the severity of neuropathy, the results were not statistically significant (p=0.069). In conclusion, there is no relationship between the type and cycle of chemotherapy with the level of neuropathy in cancer patients.

Authors: Kathurima Judith , Mwangangi Richard
Published: January 2024

A positive organizational value can enhance employee performance by fostering a sense of belonging, empowerment, and recognition, as it encourages employees to share ideas and work together towards common goals. On the other hand, a negative organizational culture can have detrimental effects on employee performance characterized by micromanagement, favouritism, and lack of transparency can lead to demotivation, low job satisfaction, and decreased productivity. The research objective was to determine the effect of organizational values on employee performance at county governments in Kenya: Case of Meru County. The study was anchored on three main theories Hofstede's Cultural Dimensions Theory, Social Learning Theory and Competing Values Framework. The study followed a descriptive research design. The study population was all the 221 departmental staff at Meru County government. The study sample was the entire population of 221 officers. They were selected using stratified random sampling. Data for the study was collected using questionnaires and secondary data collection sheets. The collected data was analysed using descriptive and inferential analysis. Tables were used in presentation of the analysed data. A Correlation Matrix was employed to assess the connections among the variables under investigation. The descriptive statistics suggested that, on average, the organization experienced moderate turnover, and there was a notable degree of variation in the turnover rates among the employees. The study showed a moderately positively positive correlation between organizational values and employee performance. Furthermore, the county government’s ability to foster a positive work-life balance for its employees is positively associated with employee performance. The study concluded that Organizational values were highly correlated with organization performance. The study recommended the review and refinement of organizational policies.

Authors: Piermattei Edoardo
Published: January 2024

Tesi
Il contributo descrive le caratteristiche della Dubai International Financial Centre Court: la prima Corte commerciale internazionale istituita a livello globale.
L’obiettivo della riflessione è duplice: per un verso, offrire un’analisi sulla regolamentazione del trust nell’ottica di vagliare il processo logico di ravvicinamento tra l’apparato concettuale inglese e la disciplina emiratina; per altro verso, svolgere un’indagine sui potenziali conflitti di giurisdizione che intercorrono tra Corti off shore e on shore localizzate a Dubai.
The author’s view
This paper describes the features of the Dubai International Financial Centre Court: the first International Commercial Court established at a global scale.
The objective of the reflection is twofold: on the one hand, to analyze the influence exercised by the Anglo-Saxon approach on DIFC trust regulation; on the other hand, to investigate the potential conflicts of jurisdiction that exist between offshore and onshore Courts in Dubai.

Authors: Galanti Lucilla
Published: January 2024

Massima
Il beneficiario del trust che si costituisca nel giudizio per la revocatoria del conferimento in trust, difendendosi nel merito in primo grado e in fase di gravame senza dedurre la propria mancanza di legitimatio ad causam, non può rilevarne il difetto per la prima volta in sede di legittimità.

Published: January 2024

Massima
Il conferimento di immobili in trust non può essere trascritto a favore del trust, richiedendo il quadro ‘C’ della nota di trascrizione l’indicazione precisa e completa dei soggetti tra i quali si sono costituiti i rapporti giuridici creati dal trust e dovendo il trust restare distinto da tali soggetti; né la trascrizione può essere eseguita a favore della persona giuridica che riveste l’ufficio di trustee, se non se ne indica il legale rappresentante.
Legittimazione attiva del trustee a tutela del bene ipotecato (App. Brescia, 2 marzo 2023)
Authors: Patrone Matteo
Published: January 2024

Massima
Il trustee del trust nel quale viene conferito il diritto di usufrutto su un immobile, già pignorato dalla banca che aveva concesso un mutuo a garanzia del quale il disponente offrì ipoteca sull’immobile medesimo, non è titolare dell’interesse a agire per far dichiarare la nullità del mutuo. Qualora il disponente, astrattamente legittimato a agire, intervenga in giudizio limitandosi a aderire alla domanda del trustee, il suo intervento si caduca assieme a tale domanda.
Beneficiario che non si identifica e trustee che non gli versa nulla (Kekwick v Kekwick, 12 ottobre 2022)
Authors: Scanavino Francesca
Published: January 2024

Tesi
Non può essere considerato inadempiente il trustee che abbia deciso di non investire il fondo in trust in attività finanziarie aventi un potenziale tasso di rischio, nel caso in cui tale decisione sia stata presa sulla base di un parere legale che abbia consigliato di non fare investimenti se non con la massima prudenza (e ciò anche nel caso in cui il parere si riveli errato).
Inoltre, non sorge l’obbligo di distribuzione del fondo in trust in capo al trustee allorquando quest’ultimo non possa adempiere al medesimo senza violare, o rischiare di violare, il concomitante dovere in capo al medesimo di stabilire, al di là di ogni dubbio, l’identità della persona a cui il fondo viene distribuito. Il trustee non può quindi essere considerato inadempiente per il fatto di rifiutarsi di distribuire il fondo in trust fintanto che non accerti l’identità del beneficiario.
The author’s view
A trustee who has decided not to invest the trust fund in financial investments with a potential rate of risk cannot be considered in breach of duty if such decision has been taken on the basis of legal advice not to make investments except with the utmost prudence (even if the advice proves to be wrong).
Moreover, the trustee’s duty to distribute the trust fund does not arise when the trustee cannot perform its duty without breaching, or risking breaching, its concomitant duty to establish, beyond doubt, the identity of the person to whom the fund is distributed. The trustee cannot therefore be considered in breach of duty for refusing to distribute the trust fund until it ascertains the identity of the beneficiary.
