The explanatory models of Mary Douglas and Melanie Klein compared, in the context of an institutional case study
Authors: Rustin Michael
Published: August 2024

This article brings Mary Douglas’ theory of the four elementary and universal forms of social ordering‐grid‐group theory‐into juxtaposition with the Klein object-relations tradition in psychoanalysis. Klein and her successors have proposed fundamental orientations‐the paranoid‐schizoid, depressive, and narcissistic “positions”–as universal attributes of personality development. Bion’s theory of containment is considered as a development of Klein’s ideas. The question explored is whether these different models, the first concerned mainly with forms of social behaviour, the second with the dispositions of individuals, have any illuminating relation to one another. This exploration takes the form of a case study of changes which have been taking place in the organisation of the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust, which is the largest institutional embodiment of a wider Tavistock tradition. The argument is that these changes can be understood both in the terms, following Douglas, of its dominant form of “social ordering”, moving from “hierarchy” towards “individualism”, “enclavism”, and “isolation”. And in Klein’s and Bion’s perspective, the shift is away from more “depressive” and “contained??? dispositions and relations. These (contested) changes represent a significant break with the Tavistock earlier traditions, and in this reflect wider changes taking place in society.

Published: August 2024

In the traditional systems of medicine, Clerodendrum viscosum (CV) has important medicinal uses for the treatment of asthma, ulcer, inflammation, pyrexia, diabetes etc. In this study, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, neuropharmacological and antidiabetic effect of root extract of C. viscosum (CV) was investigated. Mice (Swiss albino) of either sex of 25-30 g were distributed into 4 groups as control (normal water), standard (STD), CV 250 mg/kg and CV 500 mg/kg (n=6). Analgesic effect was investigated by acetic acid initiated writhing test, formalin initiated paw licking test and hot plate test. Anti-inflammatory effect was investigated by xylene and croton oil initiated ear edema test and cotton pellet pleurisy test. Pentobarbital mediated sleeping time and hole cross tests were applied to assess neuro-pharmacological activity. Antidiabetic effect was evaluated by in-vitro alpha amylase inhibitory assay. In the acetic acid initiated writhing test, formalin test and hot plate test, the alcoholic extract of root showed significant antinociceptive activity (p<0.01) at 500 mg/kg dose. The test extract lowered inflammation in xylene, croton oil and cotton pellet test which was significant (p<0.001). The 500 mg/kg dose significantly (p<0.001) increased onset time of sleeping and significantly reduced sleeping duration (p<0.01) in sleeping time test. It also showed insignificant effect in hole-cross test. The extract exhibited a good alpha amylase inhibitory potential (IC50=1.24 mg/ml). C. viscosum root exhibited analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic as well as CNS stimulant effect in model mice used for experimental purpose. More investigations are needed for the evaluation of such activities as well as the potential of this plant.

Published: August 2024

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a well-known healthcare problem globally. Several factors, including vitamin D level influence cardiovascular diseases. This study was aimed to determine the association of vitamin D (25 [OH] D) levels and serum lipid profiles with T2DM in Bangladesh. The data (n = 111) were collected from the patients’ register record book of BIHS General Hospital (Mirpur, Dhaka). Clinical (age, gender) and biochemical (fasting glucose level, after meal glucose level, HbA1C, lipid profile (HDL, LDL, TG, cholesterol) and 25-hydroxy vitamin D information were included for analysis. Independent sample t-test (two-tailed) was used to compare diabetic (cases, n  =  70)  and  non-diabetic  (control,  n  =  41) groups.  Correlation  analysis and multiple linear regression assessed unadjusted and adjusted relations between vitamin D levels and other variables, respectively. There was a statistically significant (p <0.001) difference identified in vitamin D levels (mg/dl) between diabetic [mean (range): 23.3 (10.20-38.4)] and non-diabetic [mean (range): 26.9 (20.5-51.4)] subjects. Significantly higher triglyceride, total cholesterol and blood glucose (fasting and after meal) levels were observed in diabetic subjects compared to non-diabetic subjects. However, HDL level was significantly lower in diabetic patients than in non- diabetic patients (40.15 ± 5.56 vs. 42.74 ± 5.72 mg/dl). Pearson correlation analysis exhibited a significantly positive correlation of vitamin D deficiency with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) (r = 0.195, p = 0.040), total cholesterol (r = 0.567, p = 0.046), and LDL (r = 0.897, p = 0.003) levels. Multiple regression analysis showed that vitamin D deficiency was significantly associated with higher glycated hemoglobin A1C (β = - 0.097, p = 0.039), fasting blood glucose (β = - 0.119, p = 0.011), total cholesterol (β = - 0.160, p = 001) and triglyceride (β = - 0.201, p < 0.001) levels. Additional extended and thorough randomized controlled clinical trials are required to draw a more definitive conclusion and accumulate more substantial evidence regarding the positive impact of vitamin D supplements on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Published: August 2024

The aim of the current study is to examine the impact of pain and inflammation on CNS behavior in rodent models.  Test mice were segmented into a control group and two test groups, group 1 and group 2. 0.7% 1 mL acetic acid per mice was used for pain induction whereas inflammation was induced using 0.2 mL 1% carrageenan per mouse. The results demonstrated after pain induction, the test group writhes an average of 18.5 and 16 times/15 minute while no writhing in control group, indicating successful pain induction in test group. A 38.88% and 52.94% increased paw volume was observed after 30 minutes of carrageenan induction in test group 1 and 2 respectively. Both pain induced group 1 and 2 showed 79% and 78% lowered head dipping while 62% and 57% lowered head dipping was observed among test group 1 and 2 with inflammation in Hole board test. Reduced mobility time was observed from tail suspension test. Pain induced and inflammation induced test groups 1 and 2 showed 29% and 14% as well as 28.19% and 15.14% reduction in mobility time respectively. Similarly test group 1 and 2 enduring pains demonstrated 50% and 35% less exploration to the open arm whereas 75% and 89% lower exploration to the open arm was exhibited by the test group 1 and 2 with persuaded inflammation respectively in elevated plus maze test. All these results of behavioral tests suggested that both test groups had reduced CNS activity which possibly due to the induced inflammation and pain.

Catharanthus roseus, or 'Nayantara' in Bengali, is a perennial flowering herb. This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacological effectiveness of the plant, focusing on its anti-diabetic, peripheral and central analgesic, and antidiarrheal effects. Methanol soluble partition 200 (MSP-200) and 400 (MSP-400) mg/kg body weight were administered for glucose tolerance test (GTT), heat and chemical-induced response tests, sodium thiosulphate induced test, and castor oil induced test, evaluating anti-diabetic, peripheral and central analgesic, and antidiarrheal effects via in-vivo assay in Swiss-Albino mice model. Methanol soluble partition (MSP) at 200 and 400 mg/kg doses significantly reduced the blood glucose levels of mice by 31.00% and 32.97%, respectively (standard 46.24%). In peripheral analgesic activity, MSP-400 (62.82 ± 4.62%) outperformed MSP-200 (50 ± 3.62%) and MSP-200 (p = 0.0001) exhibited statistically significant central analgesic activity. MSP-400 demonstrated potent anti-diarrheal activity (p = 0.0002). The outcomes from this study put forward a cogent argument that C. roseus plant is capable of producing numerous bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids, tannins, etc. which requires systematic phytochemical and pharmacological investigations.

Although the main purpose of Postpartum Family Planning (PPFP) is to address problem of unmet need of the existing Family Planning (FP), decrease pregnancies and its bad outcomes, the PPFP uptake is still low in developing countries. Little is known about factors associated with acceptance of PPFP among delivered women at health center level. This study sought to assess factors (Socio-demographic, cultural, and healthcare system related) associated with the use of FP methods among postpartum mothers at Kibogora Health Center in order to fill the literature gap. The study used a cross-sectional design with quantitative approach to collect data from 196 postpartum mothers attending the Health Center. Data was collected using questionnaires, entered into Microsoft Excel, and exported in SPSS for analysis. Of 196 women recruited in our study, 180 (91.8%) are using PPFP contraceptives methods. Factors associated with the use of PPFP methods at health center level include: mothers’ communication with partners about PPFP, which is likely to increase by almost three times the chance of using PPFP (cOR 2.7, 95% CI, 0.26, 0.33; P=0.03) compared with those who never communicate with their partners, and mothers delivered by caesarean section are by seven times more likely to accept PPFP (cOR 7.05, 95% CI, 0.08, 0.10); P=0.008) compared with those who undergo vaginal delivery. Therefore, strengthen a comprehensive education program aiming at scaling up communication between mothers and their partners about PPFP, and the role of PPFP on decreasing spontaneous pregnancies and bad pregnancy outcomes regardless the mode of delivery are recommended.
Protection of IP Rights as an Investment
Authors: Günarslan Banu Fatma
Published: August 2024

Intellectual property (IP) rights are embedded as an asset under the definition of investment in most international investment agreements. These agreements ensure protection and promotion of investment. Where IP rights are treated as an investment, they do benefit from the protection standards afforded by the international investment agreements. However, it is highly debated that to what extent an IP right constitutes an investment. Does the inclusion of IP rights under the investment definition of agreement suffice to be qualified as an investment? Or are there any other requirements? Over the last few years, these questions have attracted considerable scholarly interest.
This article aims to analyse protection of IP rights as an investment and legal issues deriving from intersection between IP law and international investment law. Accordingly, it will attempt to answer the question as to when IP rights constitute an investment. In this sense, the article will initially discuss the inclusion of IP rights under the definition of investment afforded by several investment agreements. Subsequently, protection of IP rights in ICSID Convention will be discussed critically. Thirdly, the article will try to underscore the roles of international investment law and domestic law in determining whether an IP right is investment.

Bu çalışmada, çekin iptal edilmesinin müracaat borçlularının sorumluluklarına etkisi tartışılmıştır. Senedi zayi eden ve iptal kararını alan kişinin müracaat hakkını kullanıp kullanmayacağı meselesini yaratan husus, çeke uygulanacak hükümleri düzenleyen TTK m. 818/1 (s)’de açıkça m. 764/2’ye gönderme yapılmamış olmasıdır. Kanun koyucunun söz konusu tercihi nedeniyle öncelikle TTK m. 764/2’nin anlamı ortaya konulmuş ve anılan hükmün poliçe ve bonoda müracaat hakkını ortadan kaldırıp kaldırmadığı irdelenmiştir. Ardından da sorunun muhtemel yanıtları dikkate alınarak, TTK m. 764/2 hükmüne çekte atıf yapılmamış olmasının anlamı ortaya konulmuştur. Yani, acaba çeke TTK m. 764/2 hükmünün uygulanmayacağının öngörülmesi ile Türk ve mehaz İsviçre kanun koyucusu müracaat hakkı bakımından çek ile poliçe ve bonoyu ayırmakta mıdır, sorunun olumlu yanıtlanması hâlinde böyle bir ayrım yapılmasının haklı herhangi bir gerekçesi var mıdır? Mesele hakkında bir kanaatte bulunurken, Türk hukukunda mehaz İsviçre hukukundan farklılık arz eden hususlara da değinilmiş ve İsviçre öğretisinde ileri sürülen görüşler bu farklılıklar dikkate alınarak değerlendirilmiştir. Ancak öncesinde müracaat hakkının kullanım şartları ve iptal davası hakkında sadece konu ile bağlantılı olduğu ölçüde bilgi verilmiştir. Son olarak, müracaat borçlularının alt ilişki nedeniyle sorumlulukları tartışılmıştır.

Published: August 2024

Çalıştırılmak üzere yurt dışına götürülen işçilerin bireysel iş sözleşmelerinden doğan uyuşmazlıklar sıklıkla Türk mahkemelerinin önüne gelmektedir. Yargıtay 2020 yılına kadar bu uyuşmazlıklarda Türk hukukunun uygulanması gerektiği yönünde kararlar vermiş ve bu kararlar öğretide milletlerarası özel hukuk kurallarının dikkate alınmadığı gerekçesi ile eleştiri ile karşılanmıştır. Son yıllarda Yüksek Mahkeme yurt dışına götürülen işçilerin bireysel iş sözleşmelerinde geçerli bir hukuk seçimi bulunduğunu kabul ederek Türk hukukunun uygulanmaması gerektiği sonucuna varmış ise de, bu kabul Bölge Adliye Mahkemelerinin direnme kararı ile karşılaşmıştır. Yargı kararlarında ortaya çıkan farklılık üzerine, konu Yargıtay Hukuk Genel Kurulu’nun önüne gelmiş ve 2023 tarihli Hukuk Genel Kurulu kararında da yurt dışına götürülen işçilerin bireysel iş sözleşmelerindeki hukuk seçimi klozunun geçerli olduğu ve yabancı hukukun uygulanması gerektiği kabul edilmiştir. Ancak Hukuk Genel Kurulu Kararı’nın kapsamlı karşı oy yazısının da gösterdiği gibi, bu konudaki tartışmaların sona erdiğinden söz etmek güçtür. Bu çalışmada, yurt dışına götürülen işçilerin bireysel iş sözleşmelerinin, iş hukukunun kendine özgü özellikleri gözetilerek ancak milletlerarası özel hukukun kuralları da ihmal edilmeksizin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Published: August 2024

Summary. Practicability of granular mixes of iron tailings treated with cement and complex additives (basalt fiber and cationic latex) application for construction of road pavements has been studied by the results of experimental research of compressive strength, splitting strength, maximum structural strength and temperature crack-resistance index. Simultaneous application of basalt fiber and cationic latex to the composition of granular mix of iron tailings treated with cement has been found to increase compressive strength and splitting strength. It was proved that the material modified with basalt fiber and cationic latex had lower structural defect index compared to the material treated with cement only. Addition of basalt fiber to granular mix from iron tailings treated with cement or both basalt fiber and cationic latex results in higher crack-resistance as indicated by increase of the maximum structural strength and the temperature crack-resistance index. Keywords: granular mix, cationic aqueous latex, basalt fiber, iron tailings, compressive strength, splitting strength, structural defect index, maximum structural strength, temperature crack-resistance index.

Summary. In this work, the transient processes were studied and quantitative calculations were performed on the example of irrigation canals located in the south of Ukraine. Field, laboratory, and mathematical studies of the hydraulic structures' throughput capacity were carried out. Transient processes that arise in the process of re-regulation of the water consumption regime or as a result of emergencies, which are important aspects of the functioning of irrigation canals, were investigated. The basis of such processes is the unsteady fluid motion. To study the peculiarities of unsteady motion in irrigation canals, the general characteristics of the filling wave were determined, the instantaneous profiles of the free surface of the flow and changes in water levels over time in fixed sections along the canal were analyzed, and theoretical calculations were compared with the results of field observations. Changes in the average velocity of the filling wave front propagation along the channel were also determined, and the conditions for the transformation of the maximum flow along the entire length of the channel were studied. The algorithm for solving the problem uses a previously developed model based on the numerical integration of the Saint-Venant equations. Numerical calculations of transient processes were performed using a program that made it possible to calculate optimal control options, evaluate the effectiveness of the chosen method of automated water supply regulation, and calculate typical operating modes of the canal. As an example, to solve the problem of water distribution management, various schemes of automatic regulation of water flows and levels on the North Crimean Canal were considered. The results of the calculations were experimentally verified in real conditions with the same initial data. The experiments were carried out at the facilities located on the Razdolnensky Canal. The results of field observations were modeled and tested in the hydraulic tray of the department's laboratory. The field and laboratory studies confirmed the results of preliminary calculations. Keywords: hydraulic structures, unsteady motion, maximum flow transformation, water resources, irrigation systems.

Summary. In the conditions of modern competition, for effective functioning, any company must provide effective and correct information about itself, the products it produces, or the services it provides to potential consumers. Therefore, in the conditions of a market economy, enterprises try to actively use advertising opportunities and develop existing advertising strategies. The advertising industry in Ukraine has only recently begun to develop, but advertisers already have enough experience to improve their enterprise efficiency. Professionals who understand the importance of advertising are constantly on the lookout for new and impressive advertising initiatives. They know how to invest funds to hold a successful promotional event and get the world talking about them. At the same time, some company managers still have to spend money on advertising and it can be unreasonably expensive, but companies must familiarize potential consumers with their products or services. Successful advertising campaigns can help companies increase their visibility in the market and differentiate themselves in a competitive environment. The paper considers the process of developing an effective advertising campaign for the enterprise. The article substantiates the necessity of conducting an advertising campaign and highlights the main stages of its development: audience analysis, determination of the campaign's goals and objectives, selection of advertising channels, development and implementation of a creative concept.

Abstract. The driving cycle is a set of regulated modes of movement of motor vehicles. The standardized driving cycle is determined by an average statistical analysis of the nature of the car's movement in specific operating conditions. Driving cycles are created to evaluate the efficiency of the car in specific operating conditions. Parameters and control modes of car systems are chosen according to the consequences of the driving cycle. Cycle phase indicators, i.e. time, maximum speed, average speed, maximum acceleration/deceleration and average acceleration/deceleration are different in different cycles. The mode of movement is determined mainly by the speed and its change according to the elements of the driving cycle: acceleration, steady motion, deceleration, braking, stopping, recovery of motion. Determining the energy, economic and environmental indicators of the car in the modes of the driving cycle is possible with the help of a mathematical model that describes these modes. It is known that the driving modes of the car in the urban cycle have an unstable character. During the change of the car's operating modes, there is a constant change in fuel consumption and emissions of harmful substances. Most emissions of harmful substances enter the environment during engine warm-up, therefore it is important to reduce the engine warm-up time and speed up the catalytic converter warm-up. The article is devoted to the refinement of the mathematical model of the car's movement in the driving cycle, taking into account the heating of the catalytic converter. Keywords. Internal combustion engine, vehicle, driving cycle, mathematical model, emissions of harmful substances, fuel economy, operating modes, catalytic neutralization.

Used cooking oil has confirmed to be harmful to our health and environtment. In Indonesia, used cooking oil commonly reuse for cooking and dispose directly into the environment. Reusing used cooking oil will increase the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer and discharging it directly into environment causes water and soil pollution. However, a lack information has been delivered to the community. This article reported community service activity conducted at Desa Pacarkembang Tambaksari Surabaya that has been purposed to increase the community’ knowledge on the dangers and proper disposal of the used cooking oil. A total of 33 participants joined the event. 30 of them had filled the pre and post event questionnaire assessed knowledge in dangers and proper disposal of the used cooking oil. The results showed that there was a rise in number of participants who had positive knowlede on the potential harm and proper disposal method of used cooking oil. A continuous campaign and public education will increase the community knowledge and awareness in maintaining their health and environment.
When Freedom of Speech and Neofeudalistic Buzzers Collide: A Note for the Politics of Citizenship
Authors: Riko Riko
Published: August 2024

The term “buzzer” was initially employed in business marketing to promote a product or service by initiating a broader discourse and increasing popularity and sales. However, the function of buzzers has evolved from business to politics, where they are utilized by politicians for political campaigns and maintaining power. This article endeavors to propose a novel concept for contemporary Indonesian political buzzers. The new concept is introduced with the term “Neofeudalistic Buzzers.” The term “Neofeudalistic” is derived from the characteristics of the actions of political buzzers who attack critics of the government and its officials, which resembles the practice of feudalism in the era of precapitalism. This conceptual article has identified that the use of buzzers in Indonesian politics has become a significant propaganda tool. Furthermore, it has been found that government-supporting buzzers are often involved in intimidating government critics. The actions of government-supporting buzzers can discredit freedom of speech and create fear among people who are critical of the government. Theoretically, neofeudalistic buzzers add a new vocabulary to the politics of citizenship studies. Meanwhile, neofeudalistic buzzers can provide practical insights for policymakers and democracy activists to regulate and supervise the activities of political buzzers.
Adolescent Birth Rate: Between Women Participation in Parliament or Women Population with Secondary Education

This study is constructed to find causal relation between women's participation in parliament (X1) and the women population with secondary education (X2) toward adolescence birth rate in the world. The data was taken from UNDP Gender Inequality Index. This research used a quantitative method with an explanatory design in which the researchers try to see how two independent variables affect the dependent variable using multilinear regression. The finding shows that X1 generates positive causal inference while X2 creates negative causal reference toward the dependent variable with 0.009547 and -0.730165. It means that based on the hypothesis testing using multiple linear regression, it is revealed that the first hypothesis is rejected, and the competing hypothesis is accepted. By means that the involvement of women in parliament is not significantly affected in reducing the adolescent birth rate yet the higher population in secondary education is proven statistically significant in causing a lower adolescent birth rate in the world.

Layered Na3Fe3(PO4)4 can function as a positive electrode for both Li- and Na-ion batteries and may hold advantages from both classical layered and phosphate-based electrode materials. Using a combination of ex-situ and operando synchrotron radiation powder X-ray diffraction, void space analysis, and Mössbauer spectroscopy, we herein investigate the structural evolution of the Na3Fe3(PO4)4 framework during Li- and Na-ion intercalation. We show that during discharge, Li- and Na-intercalation into Na3Fe3(PO4)4 occurs via a solid solution reaction wherein Na-ions appear to be preferentially intercalated into the intralayer sites. The intercalation causes an expansion of the unit cell volume, however at open circuit conditions after ion-intercalation (i.e., after battery discharge), Na3+xFe3(PO4)4 and LixNa3Fe3(PO4)4 undergo a structural relaxation, wherein the unit volume contracts below that of the pristine material. Rietveld refinement suggests that the ions intercalated into the intra-layer sites diffuse to the sites in the inter-layer space during the relaxation. This behavior brings new perspectives to understanding structural relaxation and deviations between structural evolution observed under dynamic and static conditions.

Pneumococcal disease is caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, including pneumonia, meningitis and sepsis. Capsular polysaccharides (CPSs) have been shown as effective antigens to stimulate protective immunity against pneumococcal disease. A major step in the production of pneumococcal vaccines is to prepare CPSs that meet strict quality standards in immunogenicity and safety. The major impurities come from bacterial proteins, nucleic acids and cell wall polysaccharides. Traditionally, the impurity level of refined CPSs is reduced by optimization of purification process. In this study, we investigated new aeration strategy and advanced sterilization methods by formaldehyde or β-propiolactone (BPL) to increase the amount of soluble polysaccharide in fermentation supernatant and to prevent bacterial lysis during inactivation. Furthermore, we developed a simplified process for the CPS purification, which involves ultrafiltration and diafiltration, followed by acid and alcohol precipitation, and finally diafiltration and lyophilization to obtain pure polysaccharide. The CPSs prepared from formaldehyde and BPL sterilization contained significantly lower level of residual impurities compared to the refined CPSs obtained from traditional deoxycholate sterilization. Finally, we showed that this novel approach of CPS preparation can be scaled up for polysaccharide vaccine production.
