Trzy lata funkcjonowania przepisów o raportowaniu
schematów podatkowych. Próba podsumowania z punktu
widzenia doradcy podatkowego
Authors: Radzikowski Krzysztof , Kurach Dawid
Published: April 2022

Polska implementowała przepisy dotyczące raportowania schematów podatkowych wcześniej i w szerszym zakresie
niż wymagało prawo unijne. Rodziło to obawy o nadmiar niepotrzebnych zgłoszeń, które jedynie sparaliżują
działanie administracji skarbowej. Okazało się jednak, że – uśredniając – nie więcej niż 3 promile podmiotów
gospodarczych złożyło przez 2,5 roku zgłoszenie jednego schematu podatkowego, administracja skarbowa nie
wymierzyła zaś żadnej sankcji za naruszenie obowiązku raportowania. Powyższe świadczy o lekceważeniu tych
przepisów zarówno przez przedsiębiorców, jak i przez administrację skarbową, a tym samym wymaga uadekwatnienia
tych regulacji do realiów społeczno-gospodarczych przez ograniczenie zakresu obowiązku raportowania
wyłącznie do tego, czego wymaga prawo unijne.

Industry 4.0: successful use of new technologies and some concerning developments in Austria
Authors: Malisa Viktorijo
Published: April 2022

Ten years after the launch of the German future project ‘’Industry 4.0’’ with the aim of increasing the use of information technology, benefits have emerged in some sectors, while in others the new technologies have also led to new risks and dangers. Many of the technologies are in the trial phase or still in the basic research stage. It is important to note that the new technologies do not undermine the level of occupational safety and health that has been achieved so far, but that they continue to improve it. The paper discusses various examples of ‘’Industry 4.0’’ from Austrian industry. Using examples from production and mobility, various new developments are shown and both the advantages and disadvantages or the influence of the new technologies on the environment are presented. In order for industrial change to be successfully implemented, it is necessary to make the technical changes, make organizational adjustments at all levels, create a legal basis, and develop necessary normative regulations.
Product development and design inside Industry 4.0 from rapid prototyping to additive manufacturing
Authors: Muminović Adis J , Pandžić Adi , Pervan Nedim , Delić Muamer
Published: April 2022

The paper explores importance of rapid prototyping technology, as an important part of Industry 4.0, in product development and design process. Current state of this technology is explored in detail, with special focus of places and processes where this technology plays important role inside Industry 4.0. Paper answers several questionssuch as: does this technology have its future inside Industry 4.0, is this technology integral part of Industry 4.0 or just one aspect, has the time come to call this technology rapid manufacturing (of final products) instead of rapid prototyping (of prototypes)?Industry 4.0 implies rapid prototyping of final products, not only its prototypes. Main representative of rapid prototyping technology is additive manufacturing. Today, additive manufacturing technologies do not only serve for prototyping. They are becoming increasingly used for manufacturing of final fully functional products. Product development and design process inside Industry 4.0 must be adopted to new market demands which implies fast development and design and fast manufacturing. The time from initial concept design to the final product manufacturing must be as short as possible. The paper provides answers to the above stated questions. In addition, real examples of product development and design of prototypes and real fully functional products are presented, with a special focus on products and prototypes developed in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Authors: Bašić Hazim , Gavranović Haris , Ćuprija Elma
Published: April 2022

The objective of this paper is to summarize the impact of Industry 4.0 on the most representative methods and tools of Lean Six Sigma methodology. General information about the most important Lean Six Sigma methods is given so that the reader can easily understand possible scenarios when comparing the original Lean Six Sigma tools with new evolving ones. Main references to this paper were systematically analyzed and compared to Industry 4.0 principles. The assumptions about survival of Lean Six Sigma in Industry 4.0 are based on the rapid progress of Big Data and High-Performance Computing. Lean and Six Sigma will survive Industry 4.0. Lean should retain its universality with little modification or update requirements, but Six Sigma will need some adaptations. The Six Sigma will be relevant in some cases, but to survive the Big Data and smart plants, it will require some changes in its analysis, methods, and tools. The paper provides useful insight into the adaptation of Lean Six Sigma methods to Industry 4.0, by explaining possible scenarios under which the original Lean Six Sigma tools will evolve into adapted ones.
Application of blockchain technology in the creation of smart contracts
Authors: Stupar Savo , Bičo Ćar Mirha
Published: April 2022

The aim of this paper is to elaborate in more detail, through a brief explanation of the basic elements, the essence of the functioning of blockchain technology, which is a prerequisite and basis for the emergence and functioning of smart contracts, as a modern alternative to using conventional contracts. The nature of the connection between these two concepts points out the differences between conventional and smart contracts, defines the advantages that smart contracts have over the conventional ones, and thus contributes to a more complete understanding of the concept of smart contracts. In this paper we will try to explain how to use the benefits of block chain technology in many other areas of human activity, such as creating and exchanging crypto currencies, exchanging securities, things, documents, real estate, gems or other goods, on the example of smart contracts. In general, these advantages relate to the elimination of the need for intermediaries (in this case, lawyers and notaries), the reduction of the possibility of fraud and increasing the level of security in performing various types of legal transactions as well as acquiring full confidence in the accuracy and correctness of various types of records due to inability to change once stored and from a large number of equal partners, verified transactions.
Die Würde der Pflanze
Authors: Odparlik Sabine
Published: April 2022

Der Ausdruck der Würde der Kreatur fand Eingang in die Bioethik im Zusammenhang mit der Frage, ob sich gentechnische Veränderungen nichtmenschlicher Lebewesen aus Gründen der moralischen Rücksichtnahme auch dann verbieten, wenn der entsprechende Eingriff nicht mit Leiden und Schmerzen bei dem betroffenen Individuum verbunden ist. Stellt sich vor diesem Hintergrund nicht die Frage, ob das Konzept der Würde der Kreatur nicht nur auf Tiere, sondern auch auf Pflanzen angewendet werden sollte? Das ist das Thema dieser Arbeit. Vor dem Hintergrund der Analyse der Diskussion um die Würde der Pflanze widmet sie sich der Frage, ob der Begriff der Würde sinnvoll mit Bezug auf pflanzliche Lebewesen verwendet werden kann. Das erfolgt in Auseinandersetzung mit der vielfach geäußerten Kritik zu diesem Konzept. Auf der Grundlage der Ergebnisse dieser Untersuchung wird eine eigene Konzeption pflanzlicher Würde entwickelt. Anschließend wird dargelegt, inwiefern diese der ethischen Bewertung von Verfahren der Grünen Gentechnik dienlich sein kann.
Das Denken zum Tanzen bringen
Authors: zur Lippe Rudolf
Published: April 2022

Für eine neue Kunst der Aufmerksamkeit Wandel und Bewegung sind Grundphänomene - nicht nur des menschlichen Lebens -, doch erstaunlicherweise sind sie nur selten philosophisch eingehend erörtert worden. Rudolf zur Lippes 'radikale Phänomenologie' widmet sich höchst verschiedenen Bewegungsformen: Die Beobachtungen reichen von Vogelschwärmen über Wolkenbilder bis hin zu Tanz und Kampfkunst. Nicht zuletzt anhand von Figuren aus anderen Kulturen gelingt es ihm zu zeigen, wie wir einen Wandel in unserem Sehen und Erleben in Gang setzen können. Selbst strenges Denken kann sich von den Gleisen der binären Formeln, der Identitätslogik, jenseits von Schluss und Dialektik bewegen
Abkehr vom Subjekt
Authors: Siegfried Meike
Published: April 2022

Die philosophischen Konzeptionen Martin Heideggers und Martin Bubers eint das Ziel einer Überwindung des neuzeitlichen Subjektivitätsprinzips in seinen Gestaltungen von René Descartes bis hin zu Edmund Husserl. Von diesem gemeinsamen Anliegen ausgehend werden die Werke beider Denker in ein Gespräch gebracht, in dem der Fokus auf der Bedeutung der jeweiligen Sprachkonzeption für das Projekt einer Neubeschreibung menschlicher Existenz als eines Seins in der Welt mit Anderen liegt. Die vergleichende Interpretation von Heideggers Existenzialanalyse in den 20er Jahren und Bubers zeitgleich entwickeltem dialogischen Ansatz zeigt das philosophische Potential auf, das in Bubers Beschreibung des sog. Ich-Du-Verhältnisses hinsichtlich einer Destruktion eines isolierten Subjekts liegt, das auch Heidegger mit seiner Betrachtung des Daseins als eines unhintergehbaren In-der-Welt-seins als Konstruktion zu entlarven sucht. Die Analysen der jeweiligen Konzeptionen von Sprache sowie der Phänomene Wahrheit und Verantwortung stellen heraus, inwieweit der dialogphilosophische Ansatz auf eine radikalere Abgrenzung vom subjektzentrierten Denken der Neuzeit abzielt als Heideggers Entwurf in »Sein und Zeit«. In einer anschließenden Interpretation der Konzeption des späten Heidegger mit seiner Hinwendung zur Sprache als »Haus des Seins« wird jedoch gezeigt, inwiefern diese als eine Annäherung an eine ›dialogische‹ Konzeption im Sinne Bubers gedeutet werden kann.
Nietzsches Musikästhetik der Affekte
Authors: Perrakis Manos
Published: April 2022

In der Geschichte der Philosophie gilt die Musik als Ausdruck von Affekten. Friedrich Nietzsche setzt sich mit diesem klassischen Topos aus einer metaphysischen, einer historisch-genealogischen und einer physiologischen Perspektive auseinander. Dabei gewinnt er ihm neue Dimensionen ab, indem er die Musik als eine Sprache zur Bewusstmachung des Unbewussten deutet und aus ihr ein Konzept affektiv gegründeter Vernunft entwickelt. Seine Deutung erfolgt unter dem Primat der praktischen Vernunft, da die Musik, indem sie die Affekte in Bewegung setzt, auf die Pluralität von Anschauungen und unbewussten praktischen Bedürfnissen aufmerksam macht.
Musik, Emotionen und Ethik
Authors: Rinderle Peter
Published: April 2022

Peter Rinderle untersucht das Wechselverhältnis zwischen den ästhetischen und den ethischen Dimensionen von Musik. Er präsentiert zwei eng verknüpfte Thesen. Erstens: Die ethische Dimension von Musik kann einen Beitrag zu ihrer ästhetischen Wertschätzung leisten. Zweitens: Umgekehrt kann die ästhetische Erfahrung von Musik ihrerseits eine ethische Bedeutung annehmen. Sie kann die emotionale Phantasie des Hörers beflügeln und so auch eine Spiegelung des Selbstverständnisses des Menschen ermöglichen. In einem letzten Kapitel wendet sich der Autor dem Verhältnis von Musik und politischer Ethik zu: Sein Interesse gilt insbesondere der Frage, ob und wie Musik zur Artikulation und Kultivierung von Emotionen (Freiheitsliebe, Hoffnung, Toleranz und Mitgefühl) beitragen kann, die für die politische Kultur einer liberalen Demokratie wichtig sind.
Über das Konzept der Zeitlichkeit bei Søren Kierkegaard mit ständigem Hinblick auf Martin Heidegger
Authors: Thonhauser Gerhard
Published: April 2022

Das Verhältnis von Martin Heidegger und Søren Kierkegaard ist bei weitem noch nicht hinreichend erforscht. Mit der nunmehr vollständigen Veröffentlichung der Vorlesungen im Rahmen der Heidegger-Gesamtausgabe und der dänischen Neuedition der Schriften Kierkegaards wurde erstmals die Textgrundlage geschaffen, auf deren Basis das komplexe Verhältnis dieser beiden Denkern in einer neuen Weise ausgelotet werden kann. Eine solche Neuinterpretation unternimmt das Buch in historisch-kritischer und philosophisch-systematischer Hinsicht. Thematisch steht das Konzept der Zeitlichkeit im Zentrum der Arbeit. Anhand der Analyse dieses Aspekts wird einerseits Kierkegaards Einfluss auf Heidegger erkundet, andererseits werden Möglichkeiten einer Reinterpretation beider Denker auf der Grundlage einer wechselseitigen Gegenlektüre eröffnet. Der erste Teil behandelt Kierkegaards pseudonyme Schriften, wobei vor allem die Analyse des Selbst in Die Krankheit zum Tode sowie die Bestimmung des Menschen als Synthese des Zeitlichen und des Ewigen in Der Begriff Angst besondere Beachtung erfahren. Der zweite Teil bietet eine philosophische Lektüre von Kierkegaards Reden Die Lilie auf dem Feld und der Vogel unter dem Himmel. Kierkegaards Reden erfuhren bislang vor allem in der philosophischen Rezeption nicht die angemessene Beachtung. Die Neuübersetzung zentraler Passagen und die textnahe Interpretation erleichtern die Annäherung an diesen integralen Bestandteil des Kierkegaard'schen Werkes. Vor allem anhand dieses Teils wird auch ersichtlich, inwiefern die eingehende Auseinandersetzung mit Kierkegaard es vermag, neue Wege für die Interpretation Heideggers zu eröffnen.
Himmel - Erde - Mensch
Authors: Brunozzi Philippe
Published: April 2022

Das klassische chinesische Philosophieverständnis wird immer wieder als ein lebenspraktisches beschrieben. Statt die Grundstrukturen und die ersten Ursachen des Wirklichen theoretisch zu erkunden, ziele die antike chinesische Philosophie vor allem darauf, den Menschen auf Wege hin zu einer reibungslosen Einfügung in den Lauf der Dinge aufmerksam zu machen. Die vorliegende Arbeit überprüft dieses Vorverständnis und diskutiert, inwieweit die einschlägigen Texte, u.a. von Konfuzius, Meng Zi, Mo Zi und Lao Zi, dem ihnen zugeschriebenen lebenspraktischen Anspruch gerecht werden.
Russische Religionsphilosophie im 20. Jahrhundert: Simon L. Frank
Authors: Ehlen Peter
Published: April 2022

Simon L. Frank (1877-1950) ist nach dem Urteil des Philosophiehistorikers und Theologen W. W. Senkowski „der größte russische Philosoph überhaupt”. Frank hatte um die Jahrhundertwende Vorlesungen Georg Simmels in Berlin gehört und sich mit der Philosophie des Neukantianismus, mit Fichtes Idealismus, mit Schleiermacher, Spinoza und dem Pragmatismus auseinandergesetzt. Er rezipierte die Phänomenologie Husserls und den Personalismus. Als seinen „in gewissem Sinne einzigen Lehrer der Philosophie” aber bezeichnete er Nikolaus von Kues. Peter Ehlen geht den Einflüssen nach, die Frank verarbeitet hat. Er zeigt, wie Frank ausgehend von der personalistischen Phänomenologie eine Seinslehre begründet, in der die Problematik von Transzendenz und Immanenz im Sinne der subtilen Cusanischen Lehre der coincidentia oppositorum gelöst wird. Die Welt wird als Symbol der unergründlichen göttlichen Realität, der Mensch wird als „Gottmensch” begriffen. Der Begriff der „religiösen Erfahrung” findet durch Frank eine tragfähige Begründung. Ehlen zeigt, dass Franks Gedanken der gegenwärtigen Religionsphilosophie fruchtbare Impulse geben können.
Handlungswissen
Authors: Damiani Alberto Mario
Published: April 2022

Für dieses Buch wurde der Autor mit dem Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award 2010 ausgezeichnet. Diese Arbeit beabsichtigt aufzuweisen, dass es zurzeit in der transzendentalpragmatisch begründeten Philosophie einige Schwierigkeiten gibt, die durch eine konsequente Anwendung ihrer eigenen Grundsätze aufgelöst werden können. Sie versucht also einerseits, zu der philosophischen Entwicklung des transzendentalpragmatischen Ansatzes kritisch beizutragen und andererseits einige traditionelle Probleme der Transzendentalphilosophie und der Philosophie im allgemeinen durch eine transzendentalpragmatische Erforschung unseres performativen Handlungswissens reflexiv zu berücksichtigen. Die Hauptabsicht der Arbeit besteht also darin, reflexiv nachzuweisen, dass unser performatives Handlungswissen die transzendentalen Sinn- und Gültigkeitsbedingungen der Antworten auf verschiedene philosophische Fragen implizit enthält. Dieser reflexive Nachweis zielt darauf ab, den transzendentalpragmatischen Ansatz konsequenterweise bzw. manchmal auch gegen einige seiner bisherigen Resultate zu entwickeln.
Autonomie und Erziehung
Authors: Nordström Karin
Published: April 2022

Was ist legitime Erziehung? Was heißt es, wenn zu Selbstbestimmung erzogen werden soll, und wie ist Autonomie als Zielvorstellung zu bestimmen und zu begründen? Diesen Fragen wird aus einer ethischen Perspektive nachgegangen. Dabei werden die Begriffe Erziehung und Autonomie von ihrer Normativität her betrachtet. Es geht ausgehend von einer allgemeinen Diskussion um moralpädagogische Zielvorstellungen um die Frage, wie Erziehung mit der Zielvorstellung Autonomie als Autonomie begrenzende Situationen zu verstehen ist.Die Autorin argumentiert für eine Sichtweise von Autonomie, welche diese nicht als Gegenüber zu Dependenz, sondern innerhalb von Dependenz bestimmt. Als pädagogische Zielvorstellung wird Autonomie so zu einem kompetenten Umgang mit Dependenz. Aspekte von Dependenz, welche als relevant hervorgehoben werden, sind Interaktion, Relationalität und Zeit. Ausgehend von einem kohärenzorientierten Begründungsmuster wird dafür argumentiert, dass die Zielvorstellung Autonomie eine Sichtweise bedingt, welche Erziehung zu Autonomie als Erziehung in Autonomie fasst. Die Zielvorstellung Autonomie ist demgemäß normierend für Erziehung insofern, als sie sich als bedingend für den in der Erziehungssituation artikulierten Anspruch erweist.Die theoretischen Ausführungen werden anhand aktueller Fragen im Bereich der Pädagogik diskutiert. So wird die Verwendung von Schwänz-SMS, die Kopftuchfrage sowie die Bedeutung von Überwachungskameras in Schulen diskutiert.
Crop Diversification an Effective Strategy for Sustainable Agriculture Development
Authors: Barman Anamika , Saha Priyanka , Patel Shashank , Bera Anurag
Published: April 2022

Sustainable agricultural practices involve a variety of approaches. The most important approached for sustainable agriculture development is crop diversification. It allowing the farmers to employ biological cycles to minimize inputs, conserve the resource base, maximize yields and also reduce the risk due to ecological and environmental factors. It serves as an important opportunity to augment income and employment generation for rural communities. Crop diversification promotes the interaction of beneficial soil bacteria, interrupts the disease cycle, and reduces the quantity of weeds. Crop diversification boosts land-use efficiency and crop output by improving the physical and chemical qualities of soil. Crop diversification shows a lot of scope to alleviating the problems such as resurgence of insects-pests and weeds, soil degradation, environmental pollution, soil salinity, decline farm profit and climate change. Crop diversification through crop intensification system enhanced the net returns, B:C ratio, and overall system productivity of a farm. In order to achieve the benefits of crop diversification farmers are shifting from low value low yielding crops to high value high yielding crops. Thus, crop diversification has the sound capacity for achieving the goal of nutritional security, income growth, food security, employment generation and sustainable agriculture development.

Recent Advancement of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Systems and Their Applications to Crop Growth Monitoring
Authors: Shang Jiali , Liu Jiangui , Chen Zhongxin , McNairn Heather , Davidson Andrew
Published: April 2022

Synthetic aperture radars (SARs) propagate and measure the scattering of energy at microwave frequencies. These wavelengths are sensitive to the dielectric properties and structural characteristics of targets, and less affected by weather conditions than sensors that operate in optical wavelengths. Given these advantages, SARs are appealing for use in operational crop growth monitoring. Engineering advancements in SAR technologies, new processing algorithms, and the availability of open-access SAR data, have led to the recent acceleration in the uptake of this technology to map and monitor Earth systems. The exploitation of SAR is now demonstrated in a wide range of operational land applications, including the mapping and monitoring of agricultural ecosystems. This chapter provides an overview of—(1) recent advancements in SAR systems; (2) a summary of SAR information sources, followed by the applications in crop monitoring including crop classification, crop parameter estimation, and change detection; and (3) summary and perspectives for future application development.

Schistosoma Hybridizations and Risk of Emerging Zoonosis in Africa: Time to Think of a One Health Approach for Sustainable Schistosomiasis Control and Elimination
Authors: Zacharia Abdallah , H. Outwater Anne , Lupenza Eliza , J. Mujuni Alex , Makene Twilumba
Published: April 2022

Current control of human schistosomiasis in Africa is based on preventive chemotherapy, whereby populations are mass-treated with an anthelminthic medication, praziquantel. The World Health Organization has set a goal of eliminating schistosomiasis as a public health problem and, ultimately, eliminating transmission in all countries where schistosomiasis is endemic by 2030. However, recurrent hybridization between Schistosoma species is an emerging public health concern that has a major impact on the distribution of the disease and ultimately may derail elimination efforts. The One Health approach recognizes interconnections between the health of humans, animals and the environment, and encourages collaborative efforts toward the best outcomes. This chapter explains how the One Health approach can accelerate the control and elimination of schistosomiasis in Africa.
Special Considerations on Hyperandrogenism and Insulin Resistance in Nonobese Polycystic Ovaries Syndrome
Authors: Tatarchuk Tatyana , Tutchenko Tetiana , Burka Olga
Published: April 2022

PCOS is a widespread phenotypically inhomogeneous endocrinopathy with significant health consequences and incompletely elucidated pathogenesis. Though visceral adiposity and insulin resistance (IR) is a well-proved pathogenic set of factors of PCOS, not all women with obesity and IR have PCOS and not all PCOS women are obese and have IR, which is explained by certain genetic backgrounds. The reported prevalence of nonobese PCOS (NonObPCOS) is about 20–30%, but it may be higher because especially in lean women with nonclassical phenotypes PCOS diagnosis is often delayed or unrecognized. Unlike obese PCOS, NonObPCOS management is less clear and is limited to symptomatic treatment. This chapter presents in structured fashion the existing results on the prevalence of NonObPCOS, as well as on special aspects of body composition, IR, and hyperandrogenism pathogenesis, including adrenal contribution in NonObPCOS.

The exponential growth of publications, in the last years, on the use of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies in the microwave field proves the increasing interest of research institutions and industries in these techniques. Some advantages of AM with respect to conventional machining are weight reduction, design flexibility, and integration of different functionalities (electromagnetic, thermal, and structural) in a single part. This chapter presents the most employed AM technologies for the manufacturing of RF waveguide components. First, an overview of the AM processes is discussed with particular care on material properties and post-processing. Then, an extensive survey on microwave-guided components fabricated by AM processes published in literature is shown.

Probiotics are host-compatible microorganisms that can optimally alter the balance of intestinal microflora, inhibit the growth of harmful bacteria, improve digestion, and increase the body\'s resistance by strengthening the immune system. Studies show that probiotics have antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are compounds that reduce the risk of various cancers and diseases. These compounds, in fact, inhibit the activity of free radicals and prevent their oxidation. By inactivation of free radicals, the body cells are protected from the destructive effects of these compounds. Oxidative stress is a condition that occurs as a result of disturbing the antioxidant-prooxidant balance in the cell, which eventually leads to apoptosis and cell death. Consumption of probiotic strains with antioxidant activity can benefit human health by reducing oxidative damage. Since the use of probiotics helps hemostasis, improves immune responses, and prevents many disorders caused by oxidation in the host, in this chapter, we discuss the antioxidant effects of probiotics as functional foods.

Disinfectants, antiseptics, and sanitizers are crucial for hygiene standards and disease control, as recently emphasized by the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. With the foreshadowing of antibiotic resistance, new cutting-edge technologies and innovative methodology need to be applied to prevent the latest emerging antimicrobial resistance crisis, resistance to disinfectants. Disinfectant resistance is a relatively novel field of study, and although some molecular mechanisms have been elucidated, little is known about complex mechanisms, cross-resistance with antibiotics, and the existence of resistance biomarkers. Fortunately, great advances have been made in the field of sequencing technology and bioinformatics. Although there are many limitations to this technology, various “omics” approaches to disinfectant resistance will be crucial in directing environment-specific disinfection programs. In addition, the vast amounts of data generated by sequencing technologies can be applied by artificial intelligence (AI) models to identify key disinfectant resistance markers and in the surveillance of disinfectant resistance genes. A combination of these approaches will be crucial in identifying new disinfectant resistance mechanisms, in monitoring resistant populations, and in identifying cellular targets for new disinfectant formulations. These molecular tools will be vital in the battle against disinfectant resistance, the latest development in the antimicrobial resistance crisis.

Published: April 2022

Background: Ineffective management of postoperative pain following pediatric cardiac surgeries adversely affects a patient’s postoperative course. The erector spinae plane (ESP) block has been described in the literature regarding perioperative pain management. We hypothesized that bilateral ESP blocks in pediatric patients would decrease intraoperative fentanyl consumption, reduce the need for postoperative morphine consumption, and improve pain scores. Objectives: The aim of this double-blinded randomized controlled trial was to assess the efficacy and safety of bilateral ESP blocks in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgeries through a median sternotomy. Methods: The study involved 98 children aged 6 months to 7 years who were American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) II and III and scheduled for cardiac surgery through a median sternotomy. Patients were divided randomly into 2 groups: the ES group (n = 50) who received bilateral ultrasound-guided ESP blocks, and the N group (n = 48) who received no block. The primary outcome was the total dose of administered fentanyl intraoperatively. Secondary outcomes included morphine consumption in the first 24 hours postoperatively; the length of time before the first need for postoperative analgesia; and FLACC (face, legs, activity, consolability, and cry) scores at the first and second hours postoperatively and every 4 hours, with readings taken for a period of 24 hours. Results: There were statistically significantly higher levels of administered fentanyl intraoperatively (6.7 ± 3 vs 4.3 ± 1.9 µg.kg-1) and postoperative morphine consumption (0.5 ± 0.2 vs 0.4 ± 0.2 mg.kg-1) in the N group compared with the ES group (P < 0.001). Moreover, the timing of the first rescue analgesia was significantly delayed in the ES group compared with the N group (231.6 ± 104.5 vs 108.8 ± 47.8 minutes). Conclusions: Bilateral ultrasound-guided ESP blocks can be used to reduce perioperative opioid consumption in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery through a sternotomy. It also can be used to decrease postoperative pain scores.

Published: April 2022

Background: Recently, a few studies based on anti-factor Xa activity levels have propounded doubtful and sub-prophylactic levels by the usual dose of enoxaparin in surgical and critically ill patients. In this study, we assessed two doses of enoxaparin in adult non-critically ill patients. Methods: Patients were randomly assigned into two groups of intervention and control. While the intervention group received enoxaparin with a daily dose of 60 mg, the control group received enoxaparin 40 mg. Anti-factor Xa activity was measured based on the peak steady-state levels. The level of 0.2 to 0.4 IU/mL was considered as a prophylactic goal. All individuals were followed for bleeding or thromboembolic events during admission. Results: The mean levels of anti-factor Xa were 0.29 ± 0.13 IU/mL in the control group (n = 31) and 0.44 ± 0.19 IU/mL in the intervention group (n = 29). More patients in the control group had an optimal level of anti-factor Xa compared to the patients in the intervention group (62.1% vs. 29%). No adverse outcomes were detected in any of the groups. Conclusions: Enoxaparin dose of 60 mg daily provided anti-factor Xa level higher than desired in most patients. In non-critically ill patients, the dose of 40 mg is the proper dose for thromboprophylaxis.
Understanding India’s Uneven Sex Ratios
Authors: Malji Andrea ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: April 2022

This article examines India’s uneven sex ratios (the ratio of women to men) and explores how religion may shape beliefs on gender, son preference, and femicide. Estimates vary, but at least 13.5 million females that should exist in India, do not. Extensive literature has discussed the wide range of potential factors that may influence India’s uneven sex ratio including education, socio-economic status, gender equality, and geographic region. Scholars have also examined the role religion has in shaping beliefs on gender and son-preference. Most religion-centered analyses have focused primarily on Hinduism, Islam, and Sikhism. This article expands on previous research by providing a comparative religious approach that includes Hinduism, Islam, and Sikhism in addition to Jainism, Christianity, Buddhism, and Animism. Religion is not monolithic and individual beliefs and practices vary significantly throughout India. However, understanding how key figures and texts from the religion contextualize this problem may help better understand India’s imbalanced sex ratio. This paper provides several insights on this topic. First, it maps the district-level sex ratio across India to demonstrate the geographical variation in sex ratios. Next, it discusses how factors such as dowry, joint family system, and inheritance practices are deeply embedded in a family’s preference for a male child, but manifest differently based on different factors, including religion and socio-economic status. Third, it provides a brief overview of each religion’s view on son preference and sex-selective abortion. Finally, it concludes by offering suggestions about how future research can expand on this work.
