ТЕОРЕТИКО-ПРАВОВЫЕ ОСНОВЫ УПРОЩЕННОГО (ПИСЬМЕННОГО) ПРОИЗВОДСТВА В ГРАЖДАНСКОМ ПРОЦЕССЕ
Authors: Меирбекова Г.Б.
Published: February 2023

В статье рассматриваются проблемы упрощенного (письменного) института произ-водства, предусмотренного Гражданским процессуальным кодексом Республики Казахстан. Ошибочно полагать, что этот процессуальный порядок, неоднократно подвергавшийся реформированию, появился в отечественном законодательстве сравнительно недавно, так как различные виды упрощения процесса оставили свой след в истории не только в дореволюционный период, но и в советский период в Казахстане. В результате первого системного исследования будут освещены существенные особенности разработки и применения принципиально новых моделей упрощенного делопроизводства в гражданском процессе. Данные исследования имеют научное значение, однако с учетом существенных изменений в гражданско-процессуальном законодательстве, а также концептуальных под-ходов к их развитию, могут быть использованы для анализа современных моделей упрощенного (письменного) производства, на которых они утверждены.

Published: February 2023

В исследовании осуществлен анализ классификационной модели административно-процессуальных правоотношений с позиции общей теории правоотношений. Классификация административно-процессуальных правоотношений рассмотрена как способ разделения явлений и понятий на определенные виды. Данное обстоятельство поз­волило выделить специфику правоотношений, их разнообразие, свойства, связи и зависимости, общее и специфическое и посредством этого вникнуть в их сущность.Обосновано, что процесс моделирования в данной парадигме основывается, как правило, на типологических и видовых классификационных критериях. Основу данного процесса составляют общепринятые постулаты теории права об основаниях классификации, а также критерий, базирующийся на назначении (служебной роли) правоотношения в механизме правового регулирования. Исследование проблемы классификации административных правоотношений позволило сделать вывод о многообразии подходов к данному вопросу. Для административных процессуальных правоотношений характерны общие черты административных правоотно-шений. Теоретическая модель классификации административных процессуальных право-отношений значительно обогащена перечнем оснований классификации.

SPIRITUALITAS DAN TINGKAT KECEMASAN PERAWAT DALAM MERAWAT PASIEN HEMODIALISIS DENGAN COVID-19
Authors: Herlina Santi
Published: February 2023

The anxiety of health workers, especially nurses during a pandemic, is an important problem, especially for nurses, whose interaction intensity with patients is quite high. One of them is in the hemodialysis unit, where the average patient is an outpatient with more interaction between parties outside the hospital, so the risk of carrying the virus is quite high which will be at risk of transmitting it to the hemodialysis nurse. The average hemodialysis patient is an outpatient so that contact with outsiders is quite high which will be at risk of carrying the virus. The aim of this study analyzing spirituality with the anxiety level of nurses when caring for hemodialysis patients infected with Covid-19. The design in this study was cross sectional which was carried out on 19 hemodialysis nurses who treated Covid-19 patients with a total sampling technique. Data was collected using two instruments, namely the Spiritual Well-Being Scale (TSWBS) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). The results of the analysis show that there is no relationship between spirituality and the anxiety level of nurses when caring for hemodialysis patients who are infected with Covid-19 with a p value of 0.340. Suggestions for further research increase the number of samples and analyze other factors that influence nurse anxiety such as family support.
A conference for the future
Authors: Figueira Jorge
Published: February 2023

When, on 15th October 2020, the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in her State of the Union speech and an article published in several newspapers, launched the idea of a New European Bauhaus, it surprised politicians, cultural agents and citizens in general. After all, we are not used to having a leader at the highest level, putting forward a cultural, artistic, and architectural issue as a central policy motivation.
Moreover, it drew on a century-old institution, the Bauhaus, undoubtedly one of the pillars of modern culture, where artists, architects, and designers in Weimar, Dessau, and already in decline, in Berlin, created a fundamental experience that was formative for modernity in the 20th century. In its time, the Bauhaus was in a continuous state of permanent and heated controversy. Now, a century on, it is also subject to the scrutiny of what is known as “politically correctness,” and to petitions and calls for “cancellation.”
MODERN WORLD HERITAGE
Authors: Flierl Thomas , Haspel Jörg
Published: February 2023

The article reflects on the status of modern World Heritage sites in general and in particular related to Ukraine, and the specific typologies of infrastructure and modern urban planning – both closely related to each other. The current war and the disastrous destruction of urban and civil infrastructure have again raised the question of its public perception, official recognition and national and international protection. Next to the internationally known Derzhprom complex, the cnstruction of Dneprostroj, the Dnipro Hydroelectric Station (DneproGES/DniproHES), the erection of a new industrial combine in direct proximity to it, and the new socialist city Sotsgorod—known as Zaporizhzhia—are impressive examples of urbanization and testimonies of the 20th century that need to be protected.
THE INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION FOR THE STATE UKRAINIAN THEATER (1930)
Authors: Umemiya Hiromitsu
Published: February 2023

Even although the International Competition for the State Ukrainian Theater (1930) did not result in any construction, it was a major landmark of Modernism in Ukrainian architecture. The competition received 144 entries from Soviet Union states and other countries, including four individual and one team proposals from Japan. Of these, Renshichiro Kawakita, a 29-year-old architect from Japan, was awarded the fourth prize and ranked higher than world-famous architects and designers like Walter Gropius, Norman Bel Geddes, and Hans Poelzig. This article deals with the modernist architectural scene in Japan around 1930 by introducing Japanese modernist architects’ applications to the competition. The structure of this paper is as follows: The introduction presents the four groups of applicants from Japan, and highlights the tense shipping deadline faced by Kawakita based on a retrospective by his collaborator. The main part points out that the proposal from Japan understood the organizer’s purpose to seek new ideas for theaters as cultural facilities for the proletariat via this competition, and designed it in line with that purpose. In this regard, Kawakita’s effective presentation in the drawings led to his prize. It also examines Kawakita’s architectural philosophy based on his comments after winning the prize. Kawakita praised functionalism and anti-aesthetics and believed that new architects should be engineers (rather than artists) with “inventor” nuances. This idea resonates with the international avant-garde ideas of the time in modernist architecture.
ARCHITECTURE OF AVANT-GARDE IN UKRAINE IN 1921-1939: ORIGINS, WAYS OF SPREADING, MAIN FEATURES
Authors: Mykhaylyshyn Olga
Published: February 2023

The heritage of the architectural Avant-garde in Ukraine, formed in the interwar period (1921-1939), is large-scale in the number of objects and diverse in their typology, techniques and forms of expression of modern architectural ideas. Volyn – a historical Ukraine region that, at that time, was part of Poland (the Second Polish Republic) – plays a special role in this context. To date, the region has preserved a significant array of objects that demonstrate the specifics of the interpretation of European and Polish Avant-garde concepts. The article attempts to analyze the architectural context, ways of spreading and formation features of the architectural image of residential and public buildings as part of the European heritage of Interwar Modernism. Lack of professional evaluation and recognition of the objects’ value leads to their gradual degradation, reconstruction or destruction. Methods of comparative and stylistic analysis, archival research and field surveys of architectural objects were used in this research. The study showed that the spread of the Avant-Garde style in the architecture of Volyn was significantly delayed compared to similar processes in the architecture of Western Europe and Poland and reached its peak at the end of the interwar period. The use of formative techniques of Avant-Garde architecture in housing construction became an identifier and symbol of the social prestige of certain social groups. The design of public buildings reflected Volyn’s rapid social modernization.
NATIONAL TRADITIONS IN THE ARCHITECTURE OF UKRAINIAN MODERNISM OF THE EARLY 20TH CENTURY
Authors: Novoselchuk Natalia
Published: February 2023

The national identity of Ukrainian architecture in the early 20th century manifested itself in the formation and development of the style of Ukrainian Modernism. This style was formed and spread in different regions of Ukraine as an original national style based on modern European achievements. Today, the issues of preserving its independence and national authenticity in architecture have become very important for Ukraine. Understanding the architectural style based on national traditions can guide the future development of Ukrainian architecture. The article considers Ukrainian Modernism in the context of general cultural developments. It provides a general description of the style of Ukrainian Modernism in the early 20th century, with an indication of the geographical locations where it developed and the main features of Ukrainian culture in the studied period. Theoretical and empirical research methods are used in this article, including a graphical analysis of the overall composition of buildings and their architectural details. The influence of Ukrainian Art Nouveau on the further development of Ukrainian architecture is explored, highlighting the relevance of national identity in architecture. The novelty of the study is the focus on the generalization of morphological features for the formation of a national style. The research can contribute to the revival of the national identity of Ukrainian culture at the present stage. Today, the study and analysis of national features of historical architectural heritage are important for Ukrainian society, as the post-war reconstruction of Ukrainian cities might be based partly on national authenticity in the figurative design of buildings, squares, and ensembles.
MASS HOUSING IN UKRAINE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE 20TH CENTURY
Authors: Shevchenko Liudmyla
Published: February 2023

The housing issue is rightly considered one of the most acute problems of humankind. It is generated by social causes and has a social meaning. The housing issue cannot be solved with purely technical, architectural or artistic approaches. Rather, it also depends significantly on economic, political and environmental circumstances. At different times, the nature of the living environment was formed under the influence of social order, the level of development of productive forces, household and economic systems, and other factors. In the second half of the 20th century, following standard designs, Ukrainian cities mostly consisted of four- and five-story residential buildings in new residential areas. As a result, the living environment of many cities in the country acquired a common and rather modest appearance, dominated by concrete construction. At that time, this was the most effective way of mass housing construction. New technologies and design solutions were used. Such housing was cheap and purposefully met the social standards at the time. In addition, for the owners of such housing, it meant a new higher level of comfort. This publication focusses on housing construction in the second half of the 20th century in Ukraine after 1956. It is important to identify the quality of such housing and its compliance with modern requirements. Methods of systematization of historiographical materials, comparative and historical analysis, and field surveys were used to achieve the aim. Among the main achievements are the comfortable density of residential areas and fast construction times. The disadvantages of this period’s mass housing construction are related to missing maintenance, ongoing destruction, often complex ownership situations and the challenge to adapt each building to current needs and regulations.
KYIV MODERNISM
Authors: Mokrousova Olena
Published: February 2023

This article attempts to demonstrate the changes that occur over a certain period in assessing the cultural heritage of different eras—from the scientific interest of individuals to wide public recognition. Today, the status of architectural monuments starts to be given to objects of the 1960s and 1980s, but these processes are accompanied by scientific and organizational problems. As an example, the author took the case of Kyiv, which includes many modern buildings of the 1920s-1930s and 1960s-1980s. The research is relevant, primarily considering the interest that modern architecture arouses in society today. At the same time, experts face a misunderstanding of the value of this architectural style, the objects of which are often endangered. Therefore, the relevance is strengthened by the negative trends of current construction processes in Kyiv, mass demolition or reconstruction of architectural heritage objects. The topic of cultural heritage protection is interdisciplinary—it combines the history of society and city life in general, the history of architecture, and actual architectural and artistic analysis. The article is mainly based on the practical experience of working with architectural monuments in Kyiv: their scientific research and preparation of legal documentation. The author does not analyze the value of Modernism as a recognized worldwide movement but depicts the peculiarities of its perception in society. This is facilitated by personal communication with a certain number of people, analysis of social networks and existing bureaucratic practices in the field of monument protection. Based on the analysis of Kyiv’s architectural heritage and existing public cases, the author concludes that only the joint work of architectural historians, experts in the field of monument protection and a wide range of interested city residents will allow to discover, research and preserve the maximum number of valuable modern buildings and sites, legally protect them by including them in the Register of immovable objects of cultural heritage.

Published: February 2023

The Triennial of Modernism originated in 2013 from a cooperation between Berlin, Dessau and Weimar in Germany. Since then, the cultural, architectural and intellectual heritage of the epoch has been brought into the focus of the general public every three years, so far in 2013, 2016, 2019, and in 2022. The festival grew as a bottom-up and cross-sectoral network, with rising partnerships in Germany and abroad—projected to become a European Triennial of Modernism. A cross-city motto is determined in advance, which can also take into account special anniversaries or theme years. In 2022, a special focus takes a closer look at the roots and the heritage of Modernism in Ukraine, for a trans-European consideration of historical references and protagonists.

Acupuncture Treatment of Long-COVID: A Narrative Review of Selected Case Studies and Review Articles
Authors: Williams James E.
Published: February 2023

Background: Long-COVID is the “long tail” of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Even though surges in cases have occurred since early 2020, overall, the Pandemic is in decline. However, a chronic form emerged that affects millions and without any sign of letting up. Diagnosis of Long-COVID is illusive. No specific drug safely and effectively addresses this condition. Restoring health and the search for relief became essentially the responsibility of patients and self-help groups. Acupuncture has proven safe and effective in symptom management and may flatten the disease progression curve. Objective: To systematically review reports and case studies since 2020 to evaluate the safety and efficacy of acupuncture for the management of Long-COVID. Results: The author reports on three review papers and two case studies. All results support the thesis that acupuncture is an effective and safe treatment for Long-COVID. Acupuncture provides symptom relief and may shorten the duration of illness. Conclusions: Acupuncture is a safe and effective treatment for managing Long-COVID.
An Overview of ELISA-Based Initial Velocity Methods to Measure the Immunoreactive Fraction, Association Rate, And Equilibrium Constants of Monoclonal Antibodies
Authors: Toraño Alfredo , Moreno Inmaculada , Infantes José Antonio , Domínguez Mercedes
Published: February 2023

Three biochemical parameters—the on-rate (k+1), the dissociation rate (k-1), and the equilibrium (Ka) constants—describe the antibody interaction with a ligand. In addition, the antibody immune reactive fraction (IRF) is important because it affects k+1 and Ka constant values. The on-rate and dissociation constants are kinetic, but the equilibrium constant is a thermodynamic parameter, and the methods for their determination are different. Among the available methods to determine these parameters, only surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based techniques allow calculation of the three antibody constants in a single experiment. However, conventional immunoassays are also suitable to determine antibody constants. Here, we describe some enzyme immunoassays (ELISA) methods developed in our laboratory to, i) quantitate mAb in culture supernatants from the initial velocity of the progress curve, ii) determine mAb IRF by a two-step ELISA method, iii) calculate mAb on-rate constant by kinetic ELISA based on time-course data of ligand binding to capture mAb, and, iv) describe a competitive-inhibition ELISA to measure the inhibition constant (Ki) of mAb binding to plate-bound ligand, in the presence of competing concentrations of mAb and soluble ligand.

Advances in Prediction for Perihematomal Edema Growth in Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Authors: Li Yu-Lun , Lv Fa-Jin
Published: February 2023

Perihematomal edema (PHE) has been represented as an important secondary injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The evolution of PHE contributed to mass effect, which could induce the increase of intracranial pressure. The volume of PHE increased rapidly in the early stage of ICH and continued to increase for 7 to 11 days after symptom onset, and the edema extension distance (EED) increased rapidly within 24 hours, accounting for 60% of the peak EED [1-2]. For the timepoint of follow-up CT scans was different, the fastest development stage of PHE could also be 48 or 72 hours after symptom onset [3-4]. If patients with ICH could not benefit from early surgical evacuation of the hematoma, anti-edema treatment may bring better therapeutic effect. Thus, the use of anti-edema treatment may need to be considered for reducing PHE volume during the early phase of PHE development. How to appropriately predict PHE growth is important in patients at the early stage of ICH.

Published: February 2023

Background: For elderly persons who are frail, effective fall prevention strategies are required. Our goal was to evaluate physical activity's value in preventing falls in older persons. Material and Methodology: The physiological profile evaluation was used to conduct a randomised control experiment on individuals aged sixty five and older who were categorised as pre-frail and had mild to moderate fall risk scores.A total of 54 participants were recruited in the study using allocation concealment. 54 participants were split into two groups at random i.e MPE (n = 27), control (n = 27). The three-day-per-week, 12-week intervention mainly concentrated on proprioception, muscular development, response time, and balancing training. The main finding was the assessment of fall risk using PPA twelve weeks after baseline and at a 24 week follow-up. Results: At weeks 12 and 24, there were significant changes between the MPE group and controls in the fall risk, proprioception, muscle strength, response speed, postural sway, and fear of falling scores. In addition, the MPE group's HRQOL had dramatically improved compared to controls. Practical Implication: by identifying and establishing effect of physical activity in geriatric population in reducing risk of fall, clinical phrophylatic and rehabilitation palns can be designed and implemented before hand to decrease the chances of fall iniuries and to facilitate the rehabilitation plan after the injury. Conclusion: The MPE programme significantly improved proprioception, response time, and postural sway in elderly people with pre-frailty, which decreased the risk of falls.The MPE programme is therefore advised for use in routine primary care for the geriatric population. Keywords: Fall, Geriatric, MPE, Physical Activity, risk of fall, pre-frail, multiple physical exercise, HRQOL, postural sway
Effectiveness of Thoracic Manipulation and Cervicothoracic Mobilisation in Decreasing Pain and Increasing Rom in Nonspecific Neck Pain
Authors: Saddique Madiha , Bhutto Mazhar Ali , Jahangir Saman , Pt Ayesha Sadiq , Shafiq Muhammad Saad , Zafar Ibraheem , Masood Ramsha , Malik Muhammad Waqas
Published: February 2023

BACKGROUND: Hypomobility of the cervicothoracic (CT) junction has been suggested neck discomfort as one of its causes.There are, however, few trials that have contrasted the impact of CT junction mobilisation against a successful neck pain intervention. The treatment of distant spinal segments using thoracic spine manipulation is non-specific and is founded on the notion of interregional reliance.Recent studies have examined the usefulness of segment-specific spinal mobilisation in the cervical spine, although no firm findings could be drawn from earlier research. The aforementioned factors call for research into the effectiveness of a particular CT junction mobilisation vs a general thoracic manipulation intervention in neck discomfort. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Participants in a randomised clinical trial with mechanical neck soreness and Cervicothoracic junction dysfunction were randomly assigned to the mid-thoracic (T3-T6) manipulation group or the C7-T1 stage Maitland mobilisation group. The results of the cervical flexion, extension, facet flexion, and rotation degrees of movement (ROM) before and after the intervention have been measured the use of a cervical range of motion (CROM) device. The severity of self-stated ache become measured using the numerical pain score scale (NPRS). After the intervention, a one-way ANCOVA was used to evaluate the outcomes. RESULTS: For the study, 48 individuals have been enrolled, with a median age of 36.Forty eight±12.Forty eight for the thoracic manipulation organization and 34.25± 12.24 for the CT junction organization. After treatment, there were no discernible differences in cervical variety of movement (ROM) or self-said ache depth among thegroups (p-value = 0.07, 0.96, 003, 0.Forty, 0.30, 0.31 for flexion, extension, bilateralside bending, and rotation, respectively), nor in neck pain depth (p = 0.67). The cervical ROM and pain, however, extensively stepped forward in both businesses whilst in comparison within-institution, pre- and post. CONCLUSION: This preliminary investigation showed that thoracic manipulation had the same effects on the outcomes of cervical range of motion and neck discomfort as level-specific Cervicothoracic mobilisation in patients with non-specific neck pain when it was compared to remote mid-thoracic manipulation.

Authors: Ullah Zia , Umer Sabeena , Habib Bilal , Bashir Farukh , Roman Shazia , Nisar Sadia
Published: February 2023

Background: To investigate maternal and foetal outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus diagnosed according to the criteria of the International Association of Diabetes and Pregnancy Study Groups (IADPSG), but who were evaluated using a twenty-four hour seven-value sugar profile prior to the implementation of management. This study sought to examine maternal and fetal outcomes in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus. Place of Study: Sialkot Medical College Sialkot Duration of Study: JUNE 2021 TO JUNE2022 Methods: This prospective observational study was undertaken at the Sialkot Medical College Hospital over the course of one year. The hospital served as the study's location. Prior to starting any medication between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy, women diagnosed with GDM based on IADPSG criteria were needed to undertake a seven-value sugar profile within twenty-four hours. This criterion applied to women diagnosed with gestational diabetes between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. The remaining patients were treated with medical nutrition therapy (MNT), which may or may not have been supplemented with medication depending on what was necessary to maintain their normal blood sugar levels. Documentation and analysis of maternal and fetal outcomes were conducted to assess whether or not the groups displayed differentiating characteristics. Results: GDM was diagnosed in 198 out of a total of 1867 pregnant women, representing a 9.1% prevalence rate. In 81 patients, or 40.90% of the total, the 7-point blood glucose profile (ITT) was normal, and these individuals required no medical intervention other than watchful observation. Other patients received treatment; 89 (44.9% of patients) required only MNT control, while 19 (9.59%) received supplementary medication in the form of metformin and 9 (4.5%) required insulin. It was determined that there were no statistically significant differences between the treated and untreated groups in terms of maternal–fetal outcomes. Upon comparing treated and untreated groups, this was the result that was reached. Conclusions: After an abnormal Oral Glucose Tolerance Test, the technique of evaluating patients with a seven-value, twenty-four-hour sugar profile limited the capacity of nearly one-third of women to get medication and treatment for GDM without compromising maternal–fetal outcomes. This was the case despite the absence of a link between an aberrant OGT and a diminished capacity to receive therapy and treatment for GDM. Keywords: GDM IADPSG Maternal fetal outcomes

Published: February 2023

Background: The study aims to investigate maternal adiponectin and leptin levels as prospective markers of preeclampsia, as well as the ratio of maternal adiponectin to leptin levels. Additionally, this research investigated the relationship between these two hormones. In addition to that, the purpose of this study was to analyze the connection that exists between the two hormones. Materials and Methods: This is a study that looks forward into the foreseeable future. The pregnant women who were willing to take part in the research were split into two groups: the first group, which was referred to as the study group, consisted of fifty women who had been diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, and the second group, which was referred to as the control group, consisted of fifty normotensive women of the same gestational age who did not have proteinuria. The levels of adiponectin, leptin, and their ratio were evaluated in the maternal serum of pre-eclamptic (the study group)and normotensive women(the control group).. The comparison's outcomes were analysed Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the levels of adiponectin found in the study group compared to the levels found in the control group. When comparing the levels of leptin in the study group with the control group, there was a statistically significant difference (p< 0.001) between the two groups. When compared to the control group, the ratio of adiponectin to leptin was considerably lower in the group that participated in the study (p<<0.001). When used as predictors of pre-eclampsia, serum leptin and the serum adiponectin/leptin ratio displayed a sensitivity of 90%, a specificity of 87.9%, a positive predictive value of 88.7%, and a negative predictive value of 73%. Additionally, the ratio of serum adiponectin to leptin exhibited a positive predictive value of 86.9 percent. Both the adiponectin/leptin ratio cutoff point and the leptin cutoff point were found to be optimal at 0.161. It was determined that a cutoff criterion of 24.1 ng/ml for serum leptin should be used. Both the adiponectin/leptin ratio and the serum leptin levels were significantly linked with significant degrees of accuracy (p <0.001) in the prediction of obesity. Conclusion: In research on pre-eclampsia, the examination of the maternal leptin level should be included, and a cut-off level of greater than 24.2 ng/ml should be employed as a diagnostic biomarker. This is due to the fact that pre-eclampsia is linked to hyperleptinemia, which is a condition that is characterised by dangerously high blood pressure in the mother. The ratio of adiponectin to leptin should be checked in every instance of preeclampsia, and the diagnostic threshold should be set to less than 0.153. This ratio is a potential biomarker for preeclampsia and should be examined in every case. Keywords: Leptin, adiponectin, the ratio of adiponectin to leptin, pre-eclampsia, and biomarkers

Background: In order to accomplish the goals of this research project, lidocaine was administered intravenously (IV) to patients who were experiencing neuropathic pain. The researchers had an interest in gaining a deeper understanding of the connections that exist between effect and concentration, as well as graded and quanta1 dose-response. Study Place: Kulsoom International Hospital Islamabad Study Duration: 6months (Feb 2021 To July 2021) Methods and Materials: Fifteen patients received an intravenous dose of lidocaine at a rate of 8.35 milligrams per minute for a total of one hour. During the course of the study, both venous blood samples and visual analog pain scores were collected at regular intervals of ten minutes for duration of sixty minutes. In addition, blood samples were taken in order to determine the concentrations of lidocaine in the serum as well as the amount of water in the serum both at the start of the analgesia as well as when the patient had reached their maximum level of pain relief. In order to determine the levels of lidocaine, a technique known as gas chromatography was performed. Result: In addition to graded dose-response curves for each participant and the group, a quanta1 dose-response curve was created. Besides graded dose-response curves, this was done. Also done: graded dose-response curves. The dose-response relationship for IV lidocaine showed large pain relief for modest dose changes. Despite moderate dosage increases, this was true. This was when the drug was given. The ED administered 370.0 mg of lidocaine, but the ED administered 415.5 mg (5 min of infusion). Similar to the link between concentration and effect, 0.60 pg/mL of lidocaine significantly reduced pain. It's intriguing that serum lidocaine concentration didn't correlate better with analgesia onset or end than free lidocaine concentration did. Free lidocaine concentration correlated with analgesic effect. Lidocaine concentration in the serum was a stronger predictor of analgesia. Conclusion: This suggests that IV lidocaine's analgesic mechanism may not follow a concentration-effect connection. The evidence shows this. Intravenous lidocaine is significantly stronger than oral. The analgesic response to intravenous lidocaine is a quick "break in pain" over a narrow dosage and concentration range. This was true independent of lidocaine dose. It doesn't matter how much lidocaine is given.
CHALLENGES FACING CHURCH WORKERS IN KENYA

Kenya has many church denominations each with distinct approaches to Christian faith but guided by the common goal of service to God and humanity. The achievement of this goal is actualised through the principles of volunteerism and selfless giving. The volunteerism mentality and the need for employees to work on Sundays has profound impact on how professionals and other church workers are treated. The aim of this study was to establish the challenges that affect performance of church workers in Kenya. Specifically the study examined the various unconventional working conditions under which church workers perform and how these conditions affect their performance. This study used the case study research design. The Christ is the Answer Ministry (CITAM) was used as the case. The CITAM was purposively selected because it is one of the modern upcoming mission churches within a wider Pentecostal churches fraternity. The total population which comprises of all the staff members of CITAM headquarters was studied. The staff members include both the clergy and the professionals. Data was collected using questionnaires and interviews. Secondary data was also used. The data was then analysed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The findings revealed that indeed church employees are expected to perform in unique working conditions including working over the weekends and long hours. Subsequently, there is a preference to recruit employees from the same church leading to faith based discrimination in recruitment. Based on the findings, it was recommended that there should be a balance between recruitment of the church members and members of other denominations but with the two thirds rule strictly adhered to. There also should be professionalism and that volunteerism should not be imposed. The non-members should not be required to work on Sundays or on the days when they should be worshiping in their own churches.

Interest is the price paid for the use of money or credit. Islam religion teachings are very close to nature. Islam prohibits interest rate and promotes Qarz-e-hasna (Give money to the needy people without interest). Interest disturbs the economics of the society. Higher interest rates increase the cost of consumption and less saving. It also damages the confidence between the consumers and producers. Interest rates increase the unemployment in the world. Pakistan budget always showed deficit due to the payment of loans attained with the highest interest rates. The goods purchase by the loans with interest rates increased the cost of production and ultimately failed the economics.
MAINSTREAMING PERSONS WITH DISABILITY AT THE WORKPLACE: AN ASSET OR A LIABILITY?
Authors: Kerubo Omari Risper
Published: February 2023

Disability inflicts about 16% of the population in the world. Disability limits their ability to make use of all their senses or limits locomotion. The constitution provides for all to have access to equal opportunities for education and there after employment. However statistics show that the participation of people with disability at the work place still remains at a low level. The objectives of this review paper were; to establish reasons why employers shun Persons with Disabilities (PWD), analyse the benefits of mainstreaming disability in organisations and to explore strategies for incorporating PWD in organisations. The paper specifically aims to exemplify the rare advantages that having PWD brings to an organization including; incorporation of reliable employees, better corporate image, increased motivation levels, improved accommodation among others.

Abortion (and "contraception" to be precise) removed "reproduction" from human sexuality resulting in an unimagined outcome--"UnNaturalAmerica":   an anti-child, antifamily, anti-natural masturbation emotional violent "abortion" culture has replaced the Founders Culture with "marriage" being the psychosocial "pheromone" for human sexuality (comparable to the biochemical pheromones which prevent animals from carrying on sexually like humans now do in uncontrolled fashion).  Thus, "sex" is no longer "reproductive", so it is "excretory"--emotional release for recreation and advertising, commercialized and destroyed as part of planetary sex because it is no longer "reproductive consistent sexuality between mature opposite sexed members of the same species" (as sex is pheromone defined overwhelmingly by the animal kingdom on the planet, dare said, "as defined by Nature and Nature's God" [got a cat?] and kept that way for/by "marriage"--the psychosocial pheromone for humans to be in concert with the planet.).
