Antiphospholipid Syndrome: A Review
Authors: Hossain Md. Motahar , Hossain Md. Akhter , Rahman Yasmin , Hasan Md. Kamrul
Published: May 2020

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by venous thromboembolism, arterial thrombosis, and obstetric morbidities in the setting of persistently positive levels of antiphospholipid antibodies. It may be primary or secondary. The latest classification criteria (Sydney 2006) recognize just three tests to define this syndrome- lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibodies and anti-?2-glycoprotein-1 antibodies. Treatment of thrombotic events involves lifelong anticoagulation with vitamin K antagonist warfarin. Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) with only pregnancy morbidity is treated with thromboprophylaxis with heparin during pregnancy and postpartum for 6 weeks. In this review we discuss the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the APS.

Background: Transfusion of blood products is one of the principle components of supportive management in patients with acute leukaemia. Objective: The purpose of this study was to observe the pattern of adverse transfusion reactions (ATR) in acute leukaemia patients receiving blood component therapy. Methodology: This observational study was conducted in the Department of Haematology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh from January 2018 to December 2018. Total ninety-five diagnosed case of Acute Myeloid Leukaemia (AML) and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) patients were selected for the study. Results: Four types of transfusion reactions including Febrile Non-Haemolytic Transfusion Reaction (FNHTR), Allergic, Anaphylactic, Delayed Haemolytic Transfusion Reaction (DHTR) were detected by clinical observations and relevant laboratory investigations. In this study, 25 (26.3%) patients showed different types of adverse transfusion reactions. Allergic reactions (48%) found to be the most common followed by FNHTR (32%), anaphylactic reactions (16%) and DHTR (4%). Allergic reactions (58.34%) were predominant in platelet transfusion and febrile reactions (62.5%) observed in red cell concentrate (RCC) transfusion. Urticaria,

pruritus, angioedema, breathlessness, stridor, shivering, hypotension were prominent symptoms in allergic and anaphylactic reactions. On the other hand, fever, chills and rigors were prominent symptoms in case of febrile non haemolytic transfusion reaction. In our study no association between transfusion reaction with age, sex, types of donor, types of platelet and unit of transfusion was found. ATRs are mostly non-severe but rarely cause severe transfusion reaction. Conclusion: For safe blood transfusion close monitoring of transfusion, early recognition of pattern of reaction and prompt action may decrease transfusion related adverse events.

Background: Ischaemic priapism is one of rare presentation of Chronic myeloid leukaemia due hyper viscosity and it needs urgent urological intervention. Objective: To evaluate the need of urological intervention in Priapism with Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia (CML). Methodology: This is a retrospective study from January 2014 to July 2019 in the department of Urology, DMCH. Among 126 patients 6 were diagnosed as Priapism with CML. Records of these patients were evaluated and analyzed. Results: Among 126 patients 6 patients were diagnosed as priapism with CML Mean age of the patient was 46.7 years, 2 of them were farmer and 2 had history of taking herbal drugs immediate before sexual intercourse and developed Priapism. Five patients were newly diagnosed as CML after admission in Urology ward. Of these six cases five were managed with minimal invasive procedure such as intermittent pseudo-ephedrine injection and wide bore needle corporal aspiration with pseudo-ephedrine irrigation as emergency management, only one needed surgery that was proximal shunt. After emergency management all patients were sent to hematologist for definite management of CML. Conclusion: Priapism with CML is a medical emergency which need immediate minimal intervention with concomitant haematological management.

Rosai-Dorfman Disease (RDD) is a rare disorder which usually associated with enlargement various superficial or deep lymph nodes. Clinical course of this disease is prolonged with exacerbation and remission phases occasionally. Over-production and accumulation of a specific type of white blood cell called histiocyte occurred in the lymph nodes of the body, mostly on the the neck. Other lymph node groups and in some cases, extra nodal abnormal accumulation of histiocytes may occur in other areas of the body that is more common in the head and neck region. Here we discussed a patient with extra-nodal involvement who presented with bilateral orbital mass.
Urgent health challenges for the next decade 2030: World Health Organization
Authors: Pathan Aslam
Published: May 2020

As a new year and a new decade kickoff, WHO has released a list of urgent, global health challenges in January 2020. This list, developed with input from WHO experts around the world, reflects a deep concern that leaders are failing to invest enough resources in core health priorities and systems. This puts lives, livelihoods, and economies in jeopardy. None of these issues are simple to address, but they are within reach. Public health is ultimately a political choice. All the challenges in this list demand a response from more
than just the health sector. With the deadline for the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals quickly approaching, the United Nations General Assembly has underscored that the next 10 years must be the "decade of action".
A multiregional sources of growth model for school enrolment projections
Authors: Raymer James , Biddle Nicholas , Guan Qing
Published: May 2020

Background: Education planning requires accurate and efficient projection models. Current projection models either do not make use of all available information and are reliant on idiosyncratic expert judgement, or are too complex to be maintained and explained.
Aims: To test whether a multiregional projection model performs better than current methodology in explaining and projecting school enrolments in a school system with student mobility.
Data and methods: A multiregional cohort model was developed for projecting enrolments for multiple schools or districts simultaneously. For illustration, data were obtained for all government schools in the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) for the years 2008–2016. Multiregional projections were compared with a cohort transition model and the ACT Education Directorate’s own projections.
Results: (i) There is great diversity in the sources of school enrolment growth that need to be accommodated in enrolment projections; and (ii) multiregional projections perform slightly better than traditional methods with less effort and more transparency.
Conclusion: A sources of growth approach guides the understanding of enrolment change, which is critical for making informed projections.
Alternative methods of determining the number of House of Representatives seats for Australia’s territories
Authors: Wilson Tom , Taylor Andrew
Published: May 2020

Background: Population size determines the number of seats each Australian state and territory is entitled to in the House of Representatives. The Northern Territory (NT) and Australian Capital Territory (ACT) were allocated two and three seats, respectively, in the August 2017 determination, but by very small margins. Both territories risk losing a seat at the next determination. This would result in them having considerably more people per member of parliament than any of the states.
Aims: This paper (1) provides modelling to support the consideration of alternative rules for determining membership entitlement to the House of Representatives which does not disadvantage the NT and ACT and (2) presents population projections for future determinations under the current and alternative rules.
Data and methods: Population projections for the states and territories were produced for three demographic scenarios. The resulting numbers of seats for the NT and ACT were calculated for each scenario under the current and proposed alternative seat entitlement rules.
Results: Under the existing rules the NT and ACT would only keep their current number of seats at the next determination if they experienced higher net in-migration than in recent years. Under the alternative seat entitlement rules suggested, the NT and ACT would be very unlikely to lose any seats and would almost certainly gain seats in ensuing decades.
Conclusions: There is a case for re-examining the way the states and territories are allocated seats in the House of Representatives.
Improving population retention in northern Australia: clues from German-born Territorians
Authors: Maertens Anita , Taylor Andrew
Published: May 2020

Background  Population growth rates in many parts of northern Australia have slowed considerably in recent years. Governments are interested in identifying northern migration ‘markets’ as potential targets for a mix of marketing and policy-based approaches to improve population attraction and retention. In the Northern Territory (NT), German-born residents present an interesting case study. Many are long-term residents (‘sticky’), highly educated, in professional jobs and say they are likely to stay. Aims  We profile and report on a study of German-born NT residents as one important international market for offsetting population losses. Understanding factors which have contributed to the attraction and retention of this group may help to inform policies and initiatives to improve the population position of the NT and northern Australia more broadly. Data and methods  Data for the paper is sourced from the 2016 ABS Census of Population and Housing (Census) and the 2017 German Territorian Survey (GTS) conducted by Charles Darwin University. Results  German-born residents are a relatively immobile (‘sticky’) and educated population group in the NT with a high ratio of females. Many of those surveyed, in particular those who had arrived as working holiday makers or tourists, exhibited little or no intention of leaving. Lifestyle factors, climate and job opportunities ranked highly in decisions to stay. Conclusions  The study of German-born Territorians holds promise for developing targetted niche migration initiatives to address skills and population deficits in the NT and northern Australia. Analysis of responses to the GTS highlighted opportunities for recruiting skilled women and the importance of tourism as a source for labour supply and population growth.
Modelling population flows using spatial interaction models
Authors: Dennett Adam
Published: May 2020

Background   Spatial Interaction Models have been used for decades to explain and predict flows (of migrants, capital, traffic, trade etc.) between geographic locations.Aims   This paper will guide users through the process of fitting and calibrating spatial interaction models in order to understand, explain and predict internal migration flows in Australia. Data and methods   Internal migration data from the Australian 2011 Census of Population and Housing, which records people who have moved between Greater Capital City Statistical Areas over 5-year periods, is used to exemplify the modelling process. The R statistical software is used to process and visualise the data as well as run the models. Results   The full suite of Wilson’s family of spatial interaction models is fitted to the internal migration data, revealing that distance and origin/destination populations are some of the most important influencing factors affecting internal migration flows. We see whether constraining the model to known flows about origins and/or destinations will improve the fits and model estimates. Conclusions   Spatial interaction modelling has been a tool in the box of some population geographers for a number of decades. However, recent advances in more forgiving programming languages such as R and Python now mean that this powerful modelling methodology is no longer only available to those who also possess advanced computer programming skills. This guide has exemplified the process of fitting and calibrating spatial interaction models on Australian internal migration data, but the methods could easily be applied to other flow data sets in other contexts.

Published: May 2020

In building a household, conflicts often occur, one of the biggest conflicts heard by marriage counselors in the household is a statement like the following: "My wife really doesn't understand me", or my husband never listens to me. So that makes most of the wavering marriage currently foundered experiencing divorce. Because many couples fail and do not have the ability to understand the roots of rejection experienced by their partners, or do not really know the dark past the partner can also be due to the lack of openness from the couple related to the past in the family of each partner. Negative effects will be seen after a few months or a few years in marriage then comes the original negative nature that causes anger and hatred towards the couple. The problem is not only that the impact of refusal can lead to sexual immorality or live in uncleanness in the household and even many infidelities occur because of dissatisfaction from each partner. The point in building a partner's household is not to be blind to see and pay attention to their partner enough just to fall in love to see the appearance and sympathetic nature and attention shown by their partner, but more importantly we can see the background of the past and are ready to accept all the weaknesses that are owned by his partner and completes and helps both partners to build a harmonious and happy home.

Christian or Secular School: Examining the Stated Identity of Methodist University College Ghana (MUCG)
Authors: Ampong Ebenezer Adu
Published: May 2020

It has been argued that, Christian Universities or Christian higher institutions are not the ones that merely recognize a historic connection to a church, denomination or Christianity. They are also not institutions that are members of religious associations of colleges and universities due to their historical connections but that do not identify their religious identity as influencing their mission or as being central to their institutional identity. This paper has sought to examine the Methodist University College Ghana (MUCG) to find out if its Christian identity is as stated or it is simply assumed. The paper employs the qualitative case study approach in analysing MUCG’s stated identity as expressed in its core values, vision and mission statements, from the perspective of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI) and the Council for Christian Colleges and Universities (CCCU). The findings do not indicate that MUCG’s identity as clearly and emphatically stated in its philosophy as Christian. It has therefore not been able to express it adequately in its core values, vision and mission statements. It is therefore recommended that if MUCG really intends to be classified as a Christian Institution, then there is the need for a complete review of its stated philosophy from which every institution’s identity, core values and mission are derived. This paper contributes to knowledge in the identity of Christian Educational institutions.

Plasmoid-dominated Turbulent Reconnection in a Low-β Plasma
Authors: Zenitani Seiji , Miyoshi Takahiro
Published: May 2020

Properties of plasmoid-dominated turbulent reconnection in a low-β background plasma are investigated by resistive magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. In the β
in < 1 regime, where β
in is plasma β in the inflow region, the reconnection site is dominated by shocks and shock-related structures and plasma compression is significant. The effective reconnection rate increases from 0.01 to 0.02 as β
in decreases. We hypothesize that plasma compression allows a faster reconnection rate, and then we estimate a speed-up factor, based on a compressible MHD theory. We validate our prediction by a series of MHD simulations. These results suggest that the plasmoid-dominated reconnection can be twice as fast as expected in the β ≪ 1 environment in a solar corona.
Dispossessed Prosumption, Crowdsourcing, and the Digital Regime of Work
Authors: Ettlinger Nancy
Published: May 2020

Futurist Alvin Toffler and critical theorist and historian Michel Foucault both referenced the interface of consumption and production – 'prosumption' – around 1980 in considerably different ways. Whereas Toffler focused on the empirical basis of prosumption at a time of
structural unemployment and customised demand, Foucault's rendition was discursive and focused on the subjective dimension of prosumption under neoliberal governance. This article engages both contextual and subjective dimensions of prosumption in the context of digital life in the new millennium.
Literature to date has emphasised prosumption from the vantage point of digital consumers, whose daily internet activity produces profit for firms while consumers receive no compensation for the data they produce and thereby are dispossessed of the fruits of their free labour – a perverse
dimension of prosumption in the digital era. I extend the notion of dispossessed prosumption from the realm of digital consumers to digital producers – those who seek a wage through digital means – to permit an overarching conceptualisation of the digital regime of work, recognising
important similarities and differences in the processes by which digital subjects experience dispossessed prosumption. I argue that for-profit crowdsourcing is the salient corporate strategy in the digital era regarding capital-labour relations, encompassing both digital consumers
and producers, although it is covert regarding the former and overt regarding the latter. I explain how dispossessed prosumption uniquely configures for digital producers with reference to the requirement for self-capitalisation in a context of deepened precarity, while producers' aspirations
for a stable career and consumer lifestyle sustain the process. Although the processes by which digital producers and consumers are dispossessed differ relative to digital value chains, both digital consumers and producers nonetheless share vulnerability to digital addiction. Crucially, despite
different strategies of resistance to date between digital consumers and producers, all resistance strategies are rooted in common sensibilities, which potentially can be weaponised towards transcending the dated consumption/production divide to realise an effective coalitional movement.
Compensatory Cultures: Post -2008 Climate Mechanisms for Crisis Times
Authors: Harris Ella
Published: May 2020

This paper charts emerging scholarship on what I conceptualise as 'compensatory cultures'; cultures that are, in essence, compensatory responses to crisis, but are presented and received as desirable, even preferable ways of organising life. Since the 2008 crash, precarity has become
a new normal and a dominant structure-of-feeling in the global north. I argue that compensatory cultures alleviate precarity's affective impacts, enabling 'business as usual', yet do so in ways that perpetuate that precarity and the conditions that reproduce it. I survey literature on compensatory
urbanisms, compensatory labour and compensatory consumption; demonstrating the compensatory as a pervasive mechanism operating across various cultural settings in the post-recession, austerity context. The work explored reveals compensatory cultures as central in remaking places, structuring
social relations and producing meaning in crisis times.
Cultures of Compensation
Authors: Gilbert Jeremy
Published: May 2020

The current highly-advanced form of capitalism – turbocharged by the cybernetic revolution and engaging in all imaginable forms of creative destruction – provides the backdrop to many of the articles in this issue. They are broadly concerned with the question of how capitalist
cultures (and their agents) retain legitimacy in an era of extreme commercialisation and insecurity. Josh Bowsher and Theo Reeves-Evison examine the politics of ecological credit schemes, that allow businesses to destroy a discrete ecosystem in return for the restoration of an ecological site
elsewhere. Nancy Ettlinger situates the emergence of for-profit crowdsourcing as a key contemporary mode of value-extraction in the longer history of ‘prosumption’. Michael Symons and Marion Maddox offer a fascinating study of the mechanisms by which the explicitly commercial
and profit-oriented nature of a range of social activities within advanced capitalist societies – including megachurches - come to be understood as guarantees of the legitimacy and authenticity of those activities themselves. Ella Harris’ considers ‘compensatory cultures’:
cultures that are compensatory responses to crisis, but are presented and received as desirable, even preferable ways of organising life. On a somewhat different topic, but one no less relevant to the exigencies of our present moment, or less central to the core concerns of New Formations
– Dhanveer Singh Brar and Ashwani Sharma’s ‘What is this ‘Black’ in Black Studies ?’maps out a new presence in race discourse in the UK arts and higher education, under the heading of ‘US Black Critical Thought’. And the issue begins with a substantial
interview with the great Hungarian philosopher Agnes Heller who died in 2019.
Weightlifting, Weight Training and Injuries
Authors: Basford Jeffrey R
Published: May 2020

ABSTRACT: Although millions of men and women in the United States are regularly involved in some form of weightlifting, the average physician knows, and frequently cares, little about the sports involved. As a result, his or her knowledge of the medical and physiological issues involved is limited.

This article attempts to address this lack by beginning with a brief introductory section outlining some of the similarities and differences between the major weight lifting approaches (power lifting, Olympic lifting, weight training and body building). Next it reviews major issues and controversies such as age restrictions for lifters, physiological effects, drug use, potential strength gains and hypertrophy. Finally, it discusses some of the more frequent and unique injuries that can occur in lifters.
Le travail des peaux et du cuir dans le monde grec antique
Authors: Dercy Benoit
Published: May 2020

L’histoire des techniques et des artisanats de la Grèce antique a laissé jusqu'ici peu de place à un matériau comme le cuir, sous prétexte du manque de sources textuelles et iconographiques ou de leur caractère trop allusif, et parce que les objets réalisés en peau, fourrure et cuir n’ont que trop rarement été retrouvés en fouille.

Pourtant, la collecte des sources testimoniales (images, textes littéraires, épigraphiques, papyrologiques) – menée non sans élargir le champ de la recherche à certains auteurs latins et tardifs, comme les lexicographes – et, dans une proportion bien moindre, des don- nées de terrain, articulée à une modélisation technique de la fabrication du matériau, permet de renouveler quelque peu l’approche et de préciser ce que furent cet artisanat et les usages des peaux et du cuir en Grèce antique, bien que la somme réunie ici suscite également un grand nombre de questions et de pistes qui restent non résolues.

Notre enquête tente ainsi, avec toute la prudence et la modestie que doit garder le chercheur qui travaille sur les mondes antiques, de dresser le bilan de nos connaissances quant aux étapes de fabrication de la matière première en matériau, fabrication relevant d’un savoir spécifique mais qui devait trouver des degrés de réalisation très variables. Nous passons ensuite en revue l’utilisation des peaux, fourrures et cuir, des emplois quotidiens les plus attendus aux cas les plus particuliers. Nous envisageons enfin l'organisation des « métiers du cuir », depuis l'approvisionnement en peaux brutes jusqu’aux opérations de cordonnerie, et le jugement porté sur ces activités au IVe siècle av. J.-C. à Athènes, période la mieux documentée sur la question.
Nursing Turbulence in Critical Care: Relationships With Nursing Workload and Patient Safety
Authors: Browne Jennifer , Braden Carrie Jo
Published: May 2020

Background

Increased nursing workload can be associated with decreased patient safety and quality of care. The associations between nursing workload, quality of care, and patient safety are not well understood.

Objectives

The concept of workload and its associated measures do not capture all nursing work activities, and tools used to assess healthy work environments do not identify these activities. The variable turbulence was created to capture nursing activities not represented by workload. The purpose of this research was to specify a definition and preliminary measure for turbulence.

Methods

A 2-phase exploratory sequential mixed-methods design was used to translate the proposed construct of turbulence into an operational definition and begin preliminary testing of a turbulence scale.

Results

A member survey of the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses resulted in the identification of 12 turbulence types. Turbulence was defined, and reliability of the turbulence scale was acceptable (α = .75). Turbulence was most strongly correlated with patient safety risk (r = 0.41, n = 293, P < .001). Workload had the weakest association with patient safety risk (r = 0.16, n = 294, P = .005).

Conclusions

Acknowledging the concepts of turbulence and workload separately best describes the full range of nursing demands. Improved measurement of nursing work is important to advance the science. A clearer understanding of nurses’ work will enhance our ability to target resources and improve patients’ outcomes.

This paper discusses the rigorous safety processes, specialized technologies and the innovation required to realize a hull design suitable for a floating LNG facility. The Prelude hull evolved from innovation, continuous improvement and best offshore and LNG Carrier engineering practice. Prelude has been subject to extensive analytical and model studies to realize the design. The analysis of global motions, structural analysis and cargo tank fluid motions has resulted in a cargo tank arrangement of 2-rows each of 5 tanks which allows partial filling in the offshore environment.

Rigorous safety assessment required a new LNG cargo tank dome to be developed to protect against blast pressures and maintain integrity of the cargo tanks. Operational safety has also driven design to ensure maintainability in the field. The world's first 2-row 5 cargo tank arrangement utilizing membrane containment technology solved several requirements. Maximizes storage capacity within hull sizing constraints, provides a flat deck for process design, provides an optimized hull design to satisfy topside and hull loads. The hull comprises a complete double hull at the bottom, side and deck, a novel centre line ballast tank separating the two rows of cargo tanks and cofferdams between tanks.

The centre line ballast tank arrangement enables a significant proportion of the topsides module weight to be directly opposed by buoyancy forces. To satisfy stringent safety requirements, the double deck is designed to absorb process explosion events and provides space to locate the cargo tank L/G domes. The tank domes located between the main-deck and the cargo tank are filled with N2 gas to improve detectability of LNG leakage. Such a novel design has not been applied on standard LNG carriers and required diligent application of the IGC code to prove the design. Shell, Samsung Heavy Industry and GTT successfully achieved and constructed a cargo containment system with safe dome design on the Prelude FLNG. From engineering stage to the cold test into the tank, enormous building works have been conducted in South Korea, and then the offshore execution for LNG/LPG offtake in Australia was successfully carried out.

Acute exacerbations (AEs) are among the main causes of death in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients. In this study proteomic comparative analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) fluid samples was performed in stable IPF patients versus AEs IPF group to identify AE pathogenetic mechanisms and novel potential predictive biomarkers. A functional proteomic analysis of BAL fluid samples from stable and AE-IPF patients was conducted in a population of 27 IPF patients. Fifty-one differentially abundant spots were observed and identified by mass spectrometry. Enrichment analysis found proteins of interest involved in the regulation of macrophages and lipid metabolism receptors. In acute exacerbation IPF group, differentially abundant proteins were involved in propagation of the β-catenin WNT transduction signal, and proteins up-regulated in lung carcinogenesis (IGKC, S100A9, PEDF, IGHG1, ALDOA, A1AT, HPT, CO3 and PIGR) and acute phase proteins involved in protease-antiprotease imbalance (such as A1AT fragments). Dot-blot analysis of A1AT C-36 peptide allowed validating our findings, confirming up-regulation in AE IPF patients and suggesting its potential pathogenetic role. A crucial role of protease/antiprotease imbalance, clathrin-mediated endocytosis signalling and carcinogenesis emerged in IPF patients developing acute exacerbations.
A Professional Development Workshop to Facilitate Self-Forgiveness

Background

Evidence suggests that forgiving one's self, others, and events improves relationships and self-esteem; reduces anxiety, depression, and stress; lowers blood pressure; improves cardiovascular health; and boosts immune function.

Objective

We determined the efficacy of a workshop to facilitate forgiveness in medical education professionals.

Methods

A 1-hour self-forgiveness workshop conducted by 4 facilitators was presented at a medical education conference in 2018. The workshop included a didactic presentation on forgiveness and Internal Family Systems, small group discussion on self-forgiveness concepts, a 15-minute guided imagery audio meditation on self-forgiveness, and postintervention small group discussion. The 18-item Heartland Forgiveness Scale (HFS), which measures forgiveness for self, others, and situations, was completed preintervention and postintervention (score range, 18–126).

Results

There were 91 participants, including graduate medical education managers and directors (61%), deans/clerkship directors (19%), and academic faculty/others (20%). Participants were from the South (20%), West (17%), Midwest (31%), and Northeast (32%) US regions. Baseline HFS scores showed that 53% were forgiving, 47% were neutral, and no participants had unforgiving tendencies. Total HFS score significantly increased (90.31 pre versus 95.7 post, P = .013), with significant increases in forgiveness of self (53% pre versus 73% post; P = .012; odds ratio = 2.47) and forgiveness of others (49% pre versus 69% post; P = .020; odds ratio = 2.3). Preintervention group discussion topics focused on guilt, shame, and barriers to forgiving, while postintervention discussions centered on challenges and benefits.

Conclusions

A brief guided meditation intervention with focused discussions was feasible and improved the immediate tendency to forgive.
Are inspections conducted by selected administrative bodies compliant with the Constitution of the Slovak Republic and the European Convention on Human Rights?
Authors: Smolková Lucia
Published: May 2020

This paper analyses the case law of the Slovak Constitutional Court and the Slovak Supreme Court dealing with inspections conducted by selected Slovak administrative bodies – especially by the administrative bodies in the area of foodstuffs administration – where inspected companies complain that their rights guaranteed by the Slovak Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights, namely the protection of their business premises, have been violated. The paper thus also deals with and analyses the related case law of the European Court of Human Rights and its (non)-application by the Slovak judicial bodies in their decision-making practice.
Abuse of right in administrative law: The foundations of the concept
Authors: Parchomiuk Jerzy
Published: May 2020

The concept of abuse of rights is universal in nature and is present in all branches of law. The development of scholarly opinion and jurisprudence led in time to the introduction of the prohibition on abuse of rights as a general principle of administrative law, understood as a ban on the use of rights or powers in a manner inconsistent with the purposes for which they were established or in violation of constitutional and axiological order. This paper is a presentation of a model that describes basic characteristics of abuse of right in administrative law. These basic characteristics can be summarized in a few theses as follows: (1) subjective variability – prohibition of abuse applies to both the authority as well the individual; (2) strong links between abuse and circumvention of law – abuse of right is often aimed at avoiding the application of those norms of administrative law which the individual considers to be disadvantageous to her/him; (3) different legal basis of the prohibition of abuse – general principles of law (e.g. the principle of good faith), specific regulations referring to specific powers, immanent limits of the powers or the right; (4) “axiological entanglement” – links with universal, basic administrative law values: legality, rule of law, certainty, justice and common good; (5) vague boundaries and casuistic nature, making it difficult to formulate generalized conclusions, especially with regard to the consequences of abuse of right.
Services conference as an answer to challenges of administrative procedure
Authors: Siuciński Robert
Published: May 2020

The paper presents the services conference as one of the forms of conducting administrative proceedings. The starting point is to present an institution shaped in the Italian procedural law in the light of its administrative system and its evolutionary transformations. The paper involves a comprehensive analysis of the services conference in the context of the competence of public administration authorities, the procedural guarantees enjoyed by parties to the proceedings and decisions that may be taken in the course of the services conference, as well as the legal possibility of their change. One of the assumptions of the paper is the possibility of recognition of the services conference as a kind of a resultant of proceedings in a form of hearing, and the mode of co-operation between the bodies. As a result, it should lead to presenting prospects and opportunities to adapt the institution of the services conference in the Central European countries also as a future solution for the Slovak Code of Administrative Procedure.
