Authors: Roy Amit , Sharma Manjuri , Kumar Doley Prodip , Pegu Gayatri
Published: December 2023

Introduction: Hemodialysis is type of renal replacement therapy used for patients with acute kidney injury, end-stage
renal disease and patients with uid and electrolyte imbalances. Though hemodialysis is a life-saving treatment for such
patients, it is associated with various intradialytic complications. The prevalence of intradialytic complications among patients undergoing
hemodailysis ranges from 20 to 63%. However, such studies from north-east part of India are missing. Hence, this study was undertaken to
evaluate various intradialytic complications, and their incidence in this tertiary care centre from north-east India. A Materials and Methods:
total of 2867 patients on hemodialysis were studied for complications during hemodialysis. A detailed history and appropriate clinical
examination was done in each patient. Complications encountered were divided into three groups: patient- related complication, technical
complications, and vascular access- related complications. Data was compiled and appropriate statistical analysis was done. The Results:
incidence of intradialytic complications was 36.87% of patients in the present study. Most patients with intradialytic complications had diabetic
kidney disease (51.2%), followed by chronic glomerulonephritis (16.6%). 80% of complications were patient related, followed by vascular
access related complications in 22.32%, and technical complications in 3.41% of the patients. Intradialytic hypotension (29.39%) was the most
common patient related complication in this study, followed by nausea and vomiting (20.07%). Hemodialysis is a life-saving Conclusion:
treatment for patients with severe degree of renal impairment, however it is associated with various intradialytic complications. Patient-related
complications, such as hypotension, nausea, and vomiting, were the most common, highlighting the importance of vigilant monitoring and
proactive management during hemodialysis sessions. Vascular access-related complications, particularly catheter-related issues, were also
observed, emphasizing the need for regular assessment and appropriate maintenance of vascular access.

MORE POTENT HBV DNA SUPPRESSION DOES NOT RESULT IN A HIGHER SUPPRESSION OF HEPATITIS B e ANTIGEN LEVEL
Authors: K HUI Chee , CL HUI Sophie , HUI Kit
Published: December 2023

Background: Despite more potent anti-hepatitis B virus (HBV) activity of newer agents, there appears to be a “ceiling” effect with regards to
hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) seroconversion in HBeAg-positive chronic HBV patients after 48-weeks of therapy. Aim: This study aims to
determine the effect of viral suppression on HBeAg suppression. Methods: One-hundred-and-seventy-one consecutive HBeAg-positive patients
treated with adefovir (n=59), entecavir (n=58) or lamivudine (n=54) for 48 weeks (end-of-follow-up) without drug resistance were included into
this study. HBeAg was retrospectively quantied with a microparticle enzyme-immunoassay. Results: The entecavir group had the lowest HBV
DNA at end-of-follow-up [mean±standard error of mean (SEM) 2.18±0.16 logIU/ml] followed by the lamivudine group (mean±SEM 3.74±0.22
log IU/ml) and the adefovir group (mean±SEM 5.16±0.25 logIU/ml, p<0.001). However, there was no signicant difference in the end-of-followup HBeAg level in the entecavir group (mean±SEM 2.13±1.31 log PEIU/ml) when compared w ith the lamivudine (mean±SEM 2.40±1.76 log
PEIU/ml) and the adefovir groups (mean±SEM 2.17±1.63 log PEIU/ml), (p=0.10). HBeAg level below the lower-limit-of-detection at end-offollow-up was not higher in the entecavir group when compared with the adefovir group [26/58 (44.8%) vs. 25/59 (42.4%), p=0.79] Conclusion:
Potent HBV DNA suppression during therapy does not result in higher HBeAg suppression.

Enabling the Internet of Bodies Through Capacitive Body Channel Access Schemes
Authors: Celik Abdulkadir , Eltawil Ahmed
Published: December 2023

The Internet of Bodies (IoB) is an imminent extension of the vast
Internet of things (IoT) domain, where wearable, ingestible, injectable,
and implantable smart objects form a network in, on, and around the
human body. Even though on-body IoB communications are required to occur
within very close proximity of the human body, on-body wireless radio
frequency (RF) IoB devices unnecessarily extend the coverage range
beyond the human body due to their radiative nature. This eventually
reduces energy efficiency, causes co-existence and interference issues,
and exposes sensitive personal data to security threats. Alternatively,
capacitive body channel communications (BCC) exhibit much less signal
leakage by confining signal transmission to the human body and
experience substantially less propagation loss than RF systems as body
tissues has better conductivity than surrounding air. Furthermore, the
BCC band (10-100 MHz) decouples the transceiver size from the carrier
wavelength, eliminating the need for complex and power-hungry radio
front-ends. Therefore, capacitive BCC is a key enabler to reach the
ultimate design goals of ultra-low-power, high throughput, and small
form-factor IoB devices. Albeit these attractive features, the
communication and networking aspects of the capacitive BCC are not
thoroughly explored yet. This paper is the first to model orthogonal and
non-orthogonal body channel access schemes with or without cooperation
among the IoB nodes. In order to address the quality of service (QoS)
demand scenarios of different IoB applications, we present and formulate
max-min rate, max-sum rate, and QoS sufficient operational regimes, then
provide solution methodologies for optimal power and phase time
allocations. Extensive numerical results are analyzed to compare the
performance of orthogonal and non-orthogonal schemes with and without
cooperation for various design parameters under prescribed QoS regimes.

Discrimination of Human Insulin and its Analogs by Flow Injection Analysis with Mass Spectrometry
Authors: Ishimura Atsushi , Kagasaki Reon , Mikuma Toshiyasu
Published: December 2023

Although insulin therapy is recognized as an effective treatment for diabetes, it can lead to serious side effects and medical accidents. Since living organisms contain many foreign components, the separation of these components by liquid chromatography (LC) is essential for the identification of insulin preparations. However, it is difficult to conclude that separation by LC is indispensable because multiple components are unlikely to be mixed in a sample obtained from a vial or syringe needle. Therefore, the introduction of flow injection analysis (FIA), in which samples are analyzed with the column removed, can potentially eliminate the sample separation process and reduce analysis time. In addition, tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), which allows detailed analysis, requires expensive equipment, and some facilities only allow analysis by single mass spectrometry (MS). The discriminatory ability of each analysis method should also be clarified. Here, we examined the analysis time and discriminatory ability using a combination of FIA, MS, and MS/MS. The results showed that FIA reduced the analysis time, FIA-MS could not discriminate when the molecular weights of the samples were the same or similar, and FIA-MS/MS could discriminate between different amino acid sequences. FIA-MS has limitations in discrimination, whereas FIA-MS/MS is considered an analytical method that can shorten the analysis time and discriminate formulations.

Impact of Macroeconomic Factors on ESG (Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance) – Index performance: empirical study on Eurozone data
Authors: Salzmann Eleonora
Published: December 2023

The movement towards a low-carbon economy is driven by processes like decarbonization, digitalization, ESG transition, and Industry 4.0. ESG investing has evolved into sustainable finance, aligning corporate governance with long-term ESG principles (Friede et al., 2015). The recent Russian-Ukrainian war has accelerated the shift to a low-carbon economy due to rising energy costs. Companies with high energy consumption have seen their stock prices decline, while ESG-driven companies show lower sensitivity to macroeconomic factors like energy prices. This paper aims to explore how macroeconomic factors affect the stock performance of ESG-driven companies compared to traditional ones in the Eurozone, which represents developed economies and dominates the sustainable finance landscape. ESG-driven companies are expected to be more resilient in some aspects.
An Approach to Explain Bank Runs with Game Theory
Authors: Vassilyev Ivan
Published: December 2023

This paper presents an approach to understand the bank runs with game theory. In the model, each player decides if they withdraw their deposit from the bank and loose accumulated interest or leave the deposit in the bank risking losing the deposit partially or completely. The model considers interest rates, transaction fees, and deposit insurance. The aim of the contribution is to analyse the root cause of bank runs and investigate the impact of deposit insurance on the depositors’ withdrawal strategies. Within a dynamic game with incomplete information, a playoff matrix for players is build and the results are analyzed. The results show that there two Bayesian Nash equilibrium and two strategies that can be considered as optimal in the game without deposit insurance which leads to a bank run. On the other hand, with deposit insurance introduced in the game, the optimal strategy is to keep the deposits in the bank which minimizes probability of bank runs.

Authors: Atodiresei-Pavalache Georgiana , Lupu Carmen Elena , Brutaru Carla Alexandra
Published: December 2023

Since burn-out is the second most common occupational disease after back pain in the European Union, this study aims to analyze this multidimensional reaction that negatively influences the work of health professionals worldwide. Scientific studies show that occupational burnout manifests itself much more dramatically in the medical profession than in other professions, thus reflecting the phenomenon in all its complexity. In specialized literature, studies related to the evaluation of the degree of stress among medical personnel are quite rare. This is one of the reasons for carrying out this study. The second reason is the need to highlight the degree of stress in this professional category. The assessment, made on medical staff from common pharmacies in Constanța County, Romania, consists of formulating a questionnaire that includes questions related to stress factors that occur during professional activity. The answers received are interpreted and evaluated statistically.

“Outsider scholarship,” we hear, “is characterized by a commitment to the interests of people of color and/or women, by rejection of abstraction and dispassionate ‘objectivity,’ and by a preference for narrative and other engaged forms of discourse.” Off the bat, we think: “Delgado!”, “Rodrigo!” Rightly, we raise our hats and cheer.
Reflection, Deliberation, and Dialogue: Stipanowich's Contribution to Dispute Resolution
Authors: Nolan-Haley Jacqueline
Published: December 2023

During the late 70s through the early 21st century, the Modern Progressive Era brought into focus a great concern with the manifest lack of justice in law and society. The urgency of the need for justice spawned multiple reform movements. Along with feminism, law and economics, and others, dispute resolution (often referred to as Alternative Dispute Resolution (“ADR”) or the “Quiet Revolution”) is recognized as a reform movement which lends itself to progressive persuasion. Professor Thomas Stipanowich is a significant scholar of the Modern Progressive Era. Professor Stipanowich has shaped and internationalized dispute resolution theory and practice for more than four decades. This article reflects on the impact of his scholarship throughout the Quiet Revolution.

What is art in human life? When we think of art, it seems at first blush to be just another human endeavor. It is brush strokes of some chosen substance across a piece of canvas or paper. It is the piece of wood or stone left after pieces have been removed by human hands. It is sounds made of a certain pitch and in a certain pattern, rather than another.

Yet we know that art is more. It is more than the mechanics of creation or even the materials of which it is comprised. It is more not because of what it is, but because of what it can evoke. Somehow a work of art allows us to access—sometimes forces us to feel—emotions, thoughts, and connections that are buried or denied in everyday life. It allows us or compels us to experience hidden, deeper complexities that humans experience. It is another way of human knowing.

В статье проводится ретроспектиный анализ законодательных актов, существовавших в России на разных этапах развития уголовного и уголовного-исполнительного права, устанавливавшего порядок и условия исполнения наказания в отношении осужденных женщин. В ходе исследования особое внимание уделяется лишению свободы указанных категорий, а именно содержанию осужденных женщин в тюрьмах и на каторге. Авторами показывается взаимосвязь изменения особенностей отбывания наказания женщинами и их правового статуса в зависимости от исследуемого периода. Рассматриваемые вопросы представляют особый интерес для изучения. Анализ трансформации представления о порядке исполнения наказания и условиях содержания осужденных женщин свидетельствует о постепенном развитии представления о правах женщин, а также о важности совершенствования отдельных институтов уголовного и уголовно-исполнительного права. В ходе проводимого исследования авторами выделяются дополнительные негативные эффекты, оказавшие негативное влияние на условия жизни осужденных женщин в период отбывания наказания в виде каторги или тюремного заключения, а также попытки действующей власти, направленные на разрешение этих негативных эффектов.

The article provides a retrospective analysis of legislative acts that existed in Russia at different stages of the development of criminal and penal enforcement law, which established the procedure and conditions for the execution of punishment in relation to female convicts. At the same time, in the course of the study, special attention is paid to the deprivation of liberty of these categories, namely, the detention of convicted women in prisons and hard labor. The authors deduce the relationship between the change in the features of serving a sentence by women and their legal status, depending on the period under consideration. The issues under consideration are of particular interest for study. The analysis of the transformation of the idea of the order of execution of punishment and the conditions of detention of convicted women indicates the gradual development of the idea of women's rights, as well as the importance of improving individual institutions of criminal and penal enforcement law. In the course of the study, the authors highlight additional negative effects that had a negative impact on the living conditions of female convicts during the period of serving a sentence in the form of hard labor or imprisonment, as well as attempts by the current government aimed at resolving these negative effects.
LEGAL REGULATION OF THE ACTIVITY OF THE LAWYER OF THE PRISONER AT THE PRE-TRIAL STAGES OF THE PROCEEDINGS FOR THE CONSIDERATION AND RESOLUTION OF ISSUES RELATED TO THE EXECUTION OF THE SENTENCE
Authors: Крылов А.А.
Published: December 2023

В статье исследованы вопросы правового регулирования адвокатской деятельности, осуществляемой в интересах осужденного, на этапе досудебной подготовки материалов и возбуждения производства по рассмотрению и разрешению вопросов, связанных с исполнением приговора. Автором обращается внимание на ее комплексное межотраслевое и в то же время пробельное регулирование. Делается вывод о том, что особенности деятельности адвоката на досудебном этапе уголовно-исполнительного судопроизводства должны устанавливаться уголовно-исполнительным законодательством, входить в предмет его правового регулирования. Обосновывается, что надлежащее обеспечение осужденному права на квалифицированную юридическую помощь при рассмотрении и разрешении вопросов, связанных с исполнением приговора, обеспечивает правосудность судебных постановлений, должно предусматривать обязанность сотрудников учреждений, исполняющих наказания, разъяснять сущность данного права и способов его реализации. Акцентируется внимание на фактическое отсутствие в законодательстве механизма реализации осужденным права на защиту при его задержании в связи со злостным уклонением от отбывания наказания.

The article examines the issues of legal regulation of advocacy activities carried out in the interests of the convicted person at the stage of pre-trial preparation of materials and initiation of proceedings to consider and resolve issues related to the execution of the sentence. The author draws attention to its complex intersectoral and at the same time gap regulation. The conclusion is made that the specifics of the lawyer's activity at the pre-trial stage of the criminal enforcement proceedings should be established by the criminal enforcement legislation, be included in the subject of its legal regulation. It is substantiated that the proper provision of the convicted person's right to qualified legal assistance when considering and resolving issues related to the execution of a sentence ensures the fairness of court decisions, should provide for the obligation of employees of institutions executing sentences to explain the essence of this right and ways of its implementation. Attention is focused on the actual absence in the legislation of a mechanism for the implementation of the convicted person's right to protection during his detention in connection with malicious evasion from serving a sentence.

The article is devoted to the theoretical aspects of the problem of forming moral persuasion of cadets at a departmental university of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. The concept of «moral persuasion» is analyzed from the standpoint of morality. The relationship between a person’s moral beliefs and his needs, both secondary, generated by society, and primary, natural in origin, is revealed. The place of moral convictions in the structure of moral consciousness is argued. The scientific ideas about the component structure of moral beliefs are considered: knowledge, the individual’s attitude towards it and the willingness to act, guided by this knowledge. The features of the formation of moral beliefs of cadets are determined. The stages of assimilation by cadets of knowledge about morality, moral standards, morality, the norms and requirements for an employee of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia as the substantive basis of moral beliefs are identified: familiarization, reproductive, reflective, professional-reflective, personal stages. The place of value orientations in the structure of moral beliefs of students is substantiated. It is argued that the formation of moral convictions of cadets in the context of a departmental university of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia is also associated with their familiarization with moral values. The stages of introducing cadets to moral values are identified: formal, emotional, interiorizing, worldview stages.
Grounding of abstract concepts related to power
Authors: Rieger Martina , Bart Victoria K. E.
Published: December 2023

Grounded cognition assumes that language and concepts are understood using simulations in different modalities. Evidence for this assumption mainly stems from studies using concrete concepts. Less evidence for grounding exists for abstract concepts, which are assumed to be grounded via metaphors associated with them or via experiences with them in specific situations. In the present study, we developed a new paradigm and investigated grounding of abstract concepts related to power or the exercise of power. As stimulus material, we chose pairs of concepts, for example, democracy and dictatorship. Participants were presented each concept separately and were asked to create a visual image in their mind. Then they were asked to rate images on several aspects. Afterwards they were asked to draw a sketch of the image. Results showed that drawings of high-power concepts had a larger vertical extension than low-power concepts. Results of the questions depended on the specific concepts. For instance, wealth (high-power) was rated as more colorful than poverty (low-power), but democracy (low-power) was rated as more colorful than dictatorship (high-power). These results may partly be explained by the valence of the concepts. Drawings often contained persons, objects, and situations, but were rarely abstract. Sometimes drawings contained metaphorical content and sometimes the content of drawings related to specific experiences. In conclusion, abstract concepts related to power can be depicted visually via grounding in different ways, such as using metaphors, experiences, and actions.
