THE SOUTH CHINA SEA DISPUTE AND SINO-VIETNAMESE RECONCILIATION
Authors: Boon Dar Ku
Published: April 2023

This article attempts to analyse the South China Sea (SCS) conflict from the standpoints of both Vietnam and China. The paper discusses the factors that contributed to the recent escalation of the Vietnam-China conflict, the implications of the competition for Vietnam and other regions of interest, including the People’s Republic of China and the United States, and the potentially desirable Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) solutions. The research method was based on reviews of recent reports and surveys published in newspapers or think tanks. This qualitative analysis elucidates and deepens our understanding of the SCS dispute. The research is significant because it sheds light on the issues at stake, particularly from the perspective of Vietnam, an ASEAN member. With this in mind, the hope is that academics and stakeholders can make the best possible use of the data, various arguments, and analyses presented to advance knowledge through correction and further research. To resolve this issue, the study concluded that China and Vietnam must meet and discuss it. The United States’ involvement in this maritime dispute complicates an already complex situation.
THE PRACTICE OF PUBLIC DIPLOMACY BY THE GULF COOPERATION COUNCIL COUNTRIES TOWARDS INDONESIA
Authors: Zulfikar Rakhmat Muhammad , Aswar Hasbi
Published: April 2023

As part of their “Look East” foreign policy, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have been focusing on enhancing their relations with several Asian countries, including Indonesia, which is the largest economy in Southeast Asia. The adoption of this policy has resulted in an apparent increase in cooperation between these Arab Gulf nations and Indonesia. There is a visible trend of growing cooperation between GCC countries and Indonesia, particularly during the first term of President Joko Widodo, covering areas from diplomacy, energy, and trade to investments. Although the expansion of diplomatic, energy and economic ties between both sides has been widely discussed in the literature, little attention has been paid to the public diplomacy strategies used by the GCC countries in their interactions with Indonesia. Realizing the limitations of their newly developing relationships with Indonesia and the importance of promoting a positive image to secure their political and economic interests in the region, the GCC countries are fully aware of the need for effective public diplomacy strategies. This research, therefore, aims to examine the public diplomacy strategies employed by the GCC countries towards Indonesia. These strategies can be arguably divided into four distinct groups: educational initiatives, cultural activities, religious studies and practices, as well as humanitarian aid. This study argues that while public diplomacy has increasingly become an integral part of the GCC countries’ strategies in establishing relations with Indonesia, the application of these strategies has been prevalent only among a few GCC countries in which extensive political and economic relations are already well forged with Indonesia.

City of Surveillance? The Implications of Sidewalk Labs’ Resolution to Build a Smart City in Toronto
Authors: Dadayan Patil
Published: April 2023

ABSTRACT Google’s sister company Sidewalk Labs has proposed to build a smart city on the Eastern end of Toronto’s waterfront. This initiative is the first of its scale in North America. With the creation of a smart city come implications for the technological, political and cultural life of a city, that give Sidewalk Labs unprecedented power in the realm of urban governance. This study aims to examine whether or not Sidewalk Labs is offering a city of surveillance. Building on existing work on the influence of data, big tech and governance, as well as the cultural importance of neighborhoods, it aims to explain the possible outcomes of the decision to adopt such an initiative in a multicultural urban environment. Alongside a review of the literature on surveillance capitalism, governance and modern urban theory, discourse analysis of the recent Master Innovation and Development Plan (MIDP) released was conducted. Analysis of the material demonstrated a possible desire to control and lead, with data as the key instrument granting the tech company power of uncompetitive nature. The results indicate that there could be negative implications associated with the creation of a smart city in Toronto, but are not of unruly scale. On this basis, it is recommended that Canada update its privacy protection laws to include technological advancements of this scale, and require government involvement in the project at every stage.
A Study on the Causes Interrupting Extinctive Prescription of Tax Claims: Focused on the Judicial Claim
Authors:   KOREA ASSOCIATION OF REAL ESTATE LAW, Kil Yong Won , Choi Myoung Soon
Published: April 2023

The term ‘extinctive prescription system’ means a system that extinguishes a person’s right when the holder’s right isn‘t exercised for a certain period of time. This system is designed to maintain a social order that has lasted for a certain period of time and to exclude persons who sleep on their rights without exercising their rights from the preservation of evidence that becomes difficult over time. Nevertheless, if there is a certain act in the virtual state of non-exercise of rights, the effect of the existing prescription period will be lost, which is called the interrupting of the extinctive prescription.
Recently, an important ruling has been issued regarding the causes interrupting extinctive prescription. It is particularly relevant to the judicial claim. For example, in the case where it became a question of whether the government could file a lawsuit against taxpayers due to the interrupting of the extinctive prescription, the supreme court ruled that it was possible if there were special circumstances. Regarding the special circumstances, the Supreme Court's ruling 2017 DU 41771 states that the tax payment is not sufficient or that the seizure cannot be initiated due to unknown address.
Tax claims are no different from ordinary civil claims, so the reason for the interrupting of the extinctive prescription stipulated by the Civil Code can be applied to tax claims as long as they do not violate the nature of the claim. In a situation where the amount of arrears after the statute of extinctive prescription is increasing rapidly, it is necessary to secure the national finances and prevent malicious taxpayers who abuse the statute of limitations. The discussion between Japan and Germany is worth considering in comparison. And the discussion in Japan is especially similar to that in Korea.
Some criticize that it is unclear what the special circumstances mean. The inefficiency of taxation administration is also pointed out. This is because lawsuits may have to be filed regardless of the amount of arrears. It will have to be supplemented by legislation or accumulated judicial precedents.
Digital Evidence in Saudi Law: A Comparative Study
Authors: ALASSAF Fisal Satouf , ALJADANI Sultan Sulaiman
Published: April 2023

This research comes as part and prelude to a master's thesis in private law at King Abdulaziz University entitled Digital Documents as Evidence in Saudi Law A comparative study, by researcher Sultan Aljadani and under the supervision of Associate Professor of Civil Law, Dr. Faisal Al-Assaf.   Electronic transactions have become an integral part of our daily transactions, and as a result, the Saudi legislator was keen to legislate digital means within the provisions of the new proof Law. Because of the novelty of the law, and because of the importance of digital evidence in proof, research has dealt with the answer to a problem: The extent of the adequacy of legal provisions regulating digital evidence? And emanating from it many questions that do not deviate in their content from this problem. To answer the research question, the researcher followed the comparative descriptive analytical approach, by describing and analyzing the texts related to digital evidence in the Saudi Proof Law and related laws , and comparing them with the Jordanian law. The researcher reached a number of results, the most important of which is that the Saudi legislator has enacted the procedural provisions related to digital evidence within the texts of the evidence Law, and has referred many of the substantive provisions related to digital evidence to the Electronic Transactions Law and other relevant laws. Also, the Electronic Transactions Law - due to its lack of novelty - mixed between some digital evidence, and left some other digital evidence unregulated. Therefore, and in light of the previous results, we recommend that the Saudi legislator completely re-legislate digital evidence in the Saudi Evidence Law, or re-enact the provisions related to digital evidence contained in the Electronic Transactions Law to comply with the new Evidence Law.

Authors: Rizky Aditya , Sunardi  , Setiono Joko
Published: April 2023

This study aims to analyze lex mercatoria as a substantive applicable law international sale and purchase contract. The research method used is a qualitative method. The research results show that international trade activities often lead to disputes between the parties. And the choice of dispute settlement can be made either in court or in arbitration. There are two types of law that apply and are used in international arbitration, namely arbitration procedure law and arbitration substantive law. The substantive law is in the form of a country's national law and/or international conventions related to contracts and lex mercatoria. Lex mercatoria is the law of traders derived from trade usages and general principles of law. CISG can be classified as one of the lex mercatoria because there are principles that generally govern sales and purchase contracts which are referred to as the general principles of international contract law so that the general law principles in this contract are applied as substantive law by arbitrator judges in deciding contract disputes, international sale and purchase in international arbitration.

Authors: Sajor Benedict , Ulla Aelijohn , Pizzaro-Uy Anna Corinna
Published: April 2023

The study investigates the short and long-run relationship between the Philippine Stock Exchange Index and macroeconomic variables interest rate, foreign direct investment (FDI), and exchange rate. Specifically, the paper analyzed annual secondary data from the inception of PSEi in 1985 to 2019. This study's theoretical and empirical research finds diverse perspectives on how each macroeconomic variable factors into the stock market price levels. The Philippine stock market has also grown remarkably during the past few decades. However, there is little to no comparable study in Philippine literature. So, by employing the ARDL bounds testing approach, the research adds to the body of literature by examining the macroeconomic factors influencing the growth of the Philippine stock market. The study adopted the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model to estimate the causality function, F-Bounds Test to establish long-run causal significance, and Error Correction Term (ECT) to determine how long until the adjustment of short-run errors to re-equilibrate to the long-run equilibrium. The results show that FDI has a positive cointegration in both the short and long run, the exchange rate has a positive cointegration both in the short and long run, and the lag of interest rate is positively significant in the short run and negatively significant in the long run.

The dynamization of Tourism in the Haute Matsiatra Region (Isalo, Andringitra, Ranomafana) is considered favorable to the promotion of Tourism and important for the sustainable development of the rural areas concerned. They are exploited by local visitors. However, currently, there is an inspiration for new openings and new and more original horizons throughout Madagascar. The idea of launching the "dynamization of tourism", using Big Data and Business Intelligence, is somewhat conceived as an exclusive speech to incite tourists to discover new destinations even more authentic than many others. However, we would like to propose that the aim of the dynamization of tourism is to make the assets dynamic, to valorize and capitalize on the natural wealth of the region for the purpose of tourism, and to develop the areas in a sustainable way.

Published: April 2023

A culture experiment was conducted to see the growth and production performance of Vietnamese koi (Anabas testudineus) with Magur (Clarias batrachus) at different stocking densities in a farmer’s ponds under semi-intensive rearing system for a period of 120 days. The experiment was conducted in three ponds at Rahmatpur of Muktagachha Upazila of Mymensingh district from 5 August to 5 December, 2013. The size of ponds were 24 (T1), 24 (T2) and 24 (T3) decimal with an average depth of 4 feet. Three different stocking densities were tested, namely treatments T1 (400 fish /decimal, 350 Vietnamese koi and 50 magur); T2 (450 fish /decimal, 400 Vietnamese koi and 50 Magur) and T3 (550 fish /decimal, 500 Vietnamese koi and 50 Magur). Ruposhi Bangla feed was used in all treatments two times daily from the beginning of the fry stocking. The initial weight of Vietnamese koi and Magur were 5±0.00 g and 2±0.00 g respectively. The initial length of Vietnamese koi and Magur were 2.54 and 3.50 cm respectively. The average highest final weight gain of Vietnamese koi was (138.71±0.03 g) observed in T1 and followed by T2 (135.65±0.12 g) and T3 (129.29±0.49 g). Similarly, the average highest final weight gain of Magur (76.00±0.58 g) was observed in T1 and followed by T2 (68.36±0.43 g) and T3 (62.61±0.58 g) respectively. The average highest final length gain of Vietnamese koi (17.38±0.05 cm) was observed in T1 and followed by T2 (17.00±0.04 cm) and T3 (16.33±0.03 cm). Similarly, the average highest final length gain of Magur (21.30±0.09 cm) was observed in T1 and followed by T2 (17.00±0.05 cm) and T3 (15.87±0.02 cm) respectively. The survival rate of the stocking Vietnamese koi and Magur were recorded 95.14 and 72.00 % in T1; 93.25 and 64.00% in T2; 90.80 and 68.00 % in T3 respectively. Fish production in T1, T2 and T3 were 48.93; 52.79 and 60.83 kg/decimal/120 days, respectively. The total production of T3 was increased with the increasing of stocking density compare to T2 and T1. The benefit-cost ratio (BCR) was higher in T3 where BCR was 1.67 and on the other two treatments BCR was 1.53 in T2 and 1.52 in T1 although the highest production was obtained in T3 but individually growth performance of Vietnamese koi and Magur were higher in T1. Based on the result of the present experiment, farmers could be suggested to rear Vietnamese koi with Magur at the stocking density of 550 fish/decimal (500 Vietnamese koi and 50 Magur) which was the highest density tried to get more production and financial benefit. Further experiment need to be conducted by taking higher density than the 550 fish/decimal for the optimization of stocking density to get more production and benefit.

Authors: Afroz Sadia , Kabir AKM Nurul , Dey Bishnu Pada , Rahman Mohammad Mosiur , Rahman Papiya , Karim Rezwana , Mahmuda Syeeda Shiraj Um , Emita Umama-Tun-Nesa , Jahan Sharmin
Published: April 2023

Background: Primary and secondary myelofibrosis has become a global burden due to its increased mortality and morbidity. Angiogenesis is a significant driving force in the development of fibrogenesis in the bone marrow, which leads to myelofibrosis. The microvascular density (MVD) with immunomarker CD34 can be used to assess the degree of angiogenesis. The objective of this study was to examine the association between degree of myelofibrosis and angiogenesis in hematological malignancies.
Methods: Forty-six trephine biopsy specimens of various hematological malignancies with myelofibrosis were studied at the Department of Pathology of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University. Extent of myelofibrosis in each case was assessed by examining the reticulin and Masson’s trichrome stained sections using a semiquantitative grading system of bone marrow fibrosis (MF) within a scale of MF-0 to MF-3. Angiogenesis was measured by counting MVD in the ‘hotspots’ after immunostaining with CD34 antibody.
Results: The trephine biopsy cases were grouped into early fibrotic (MF-1) and advanced fibrotic (MF-2,3) consisting of 16 (34.8%) and 30 (65.2%) patients, respectively. Angiogenesis was estimated as mean MVD count which revealed 16.7 ± 5.4 and 32.0 ± 11.5 in these groups, respectively.  Significant difference of mean MVD values     (P<0.001) between the early and advanced fibrotic groups revealed the association of angiogenesis and degree of myelofibrosis.
Conclusion: MVD may be used to measure angiogenesis in myelofibrotic marrow along with other clinical and laboratory indices as a marker of disease activity in hematological malignancies, thus aiding disease prognosis.

Published: April 2023

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood malignancy. In the Department of Paediatric Haematology and Oncology of Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), 58% of ALL cases were recorded among 455 newly diagnosed malignancy patients in a single year. Studies found that remarkable hypertriglyceridemia occurs with L-asparaginase therapy and steroid. This study was done to evaluate the changes of serum total cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) during and after induction chemotherapy in children with ALL.
Methods: This prospective observational study was performed in the Department of Pediatric Hematology and Oncology of BSMMU from March-November 2013. Newly diagnosed acute lymphoblastic leukemia patients aged 3-15 years were included in this study after having written consent from the parents of the participants to participate in the study and enrolled for the treatment of ALL (according to modified UKALL 2003 protocol).
Results: Total cholesterol, TG, HDL, and LDL changed significantly due to induction therapy. Serum total cholesterol and LDL decreased after completion of L-asparaginse in comparison to before induction, increased significantly after completion of induction in comparison to after completion of L-asparaginase (P=0.001), and increased significantly after induction in relation to before induction therapy (P=0.003). TG decreased significantly (P=0.033) after completion of L-asparaginase than before induction but increased after completion of induction. HDL increased after completion of L-asparaginase and after induction significantly (P=0.001). LDL decreased after completion of L asparaginase which was significant (P=0.005).
Conclusion: After induction chemotherapy, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL level increased and TG level decreased among ALL patients.
Fasting with diabetes during Ramadan: An updated review
Authors: Selim Shahjada , M Saifuddin  , Mustari Marufa , Lona Hafiza , Mahjabeen Samira , Imran Shahed , Kamrul Hasan ABM
Published: April 2023

Introduction: In reality, many Muslims have an intense spiritual urge to participate in fasting, even those who could get an exemption. There are many cultural variations in the Muslim population in different parts of the world, even in the same country with different social and family backgrounds. Thus, persons with diabetes should seek medical advice before planning to fast or proceed to fast during Ramadan.
Materials: This was a narrative, non-systematic review of the international literature from the major medical online database (PubMed and Google Scholar) in 2023. The term “Ramadan fasting” and “Diabetes” was used to search, and the relevant literature was captured and narrated in a concise thematic account.
Results: Practically, there are certain risks associated with fasting for patients with diabetes, which might exacerbate their existing illnesses. Along with the globally increasing prevalence of diabetes, there is an increased number of the population who intend to or fast. The article captured a wide array of topics related to Ramadan fasting by patients with diabetes, including its epidemiology, risk stratification, lifestyle modification, assessment of safety and efficacy profiles of pharmacotherapies, hypo or hyperglycemia, and the impact of diabetes education.
Conclusion: Fasting with diabetes poses a range of risks and thus pre-Ramadan risk stratification is essential. Particular attention should focus on the patient’s current risk factors, complications, comorbidities, and the roles of newer antihyperglycemic medicines and advanced technology for safer fasting practices to mitigate the risks of hypoglycemia and or hyperglycemic crises.

Published: April 2023

We report a rare case of perforated corneal ulcer due to recurrent viral keratitis with stromal necrosis and iris prolapse. The patient was 75 years old farmer, normotensive, diabetic, and presented with complaints of pain, watering, photophobia, redness and dimness of vision in the left eye. The left eye's visual acuity was perception of light and projection of rays in all four quadrants. Slit lamp examination found swollen eyelids, matted eyelashes, congested conjunctiva, seidel test positive, an inferonasal corneal perforation, shallow anterior chamber, irregular pupil, and prolapse of the iris through the perforated cornea. The patient was diagnosed with a left-sided perforated corneal ulcer (recurrent viral keratitis with stromal necrotizing variety) having iris prolapse. The perforation was sealed by cyanoacrylate glue and a soft bandage contact lens. This improved the patient’s condition. Early medical and surgical interventions thus can save vision as well as the eyeball.
Comparative Study of Interlocking Nailing versus Dynamic Compression Plating in Fractures of Tibia in a Secondary Level Hospital in Bangladesh
Authors: Rahman Md Asjadur , Mohammed Khandaker Haris , Sinha Sanjoy
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Tibial diaphyseal fractures are the commonest long bone fractures in adults, most commonly managed by intramedullary interlocking nailing. However, several metaanalysis show that locking plate osteosynthesis is equally effective in managing tibial diaphyseal fractures and are associated with less number of complications.
Aim: To compare the results of fixation of tibial fractures following plating and nailing in terms of union, patient satisfaction and complications.
Materials and Methods: A hospital based non randomized clinical trial was performed from January 2018 to December 2019 where closed or open diaphyseal or metaphyseo-diaphyseal fractures of the tibia (closed or open Gustilo Anderson type 1 through 3B) were included. Simple sequential allocation was used for allotting the patients to two groups, one for interlocking nailing and other for plating. The patients were followed up for clinical, radiographic and functional results.
Results: Thirty patients with 30 involved limbs completed follow up for one year. The duration of surgery and average blood loss during surgery was 75.45±3.03 minutes and 165.00±5.31 ml respectively in case of nailing and 85.05±2.54 minutes and184.29±5.33 ml respectively in case of plating and their difference was statistically significant. In our study union was achieved in less than 20 weeks in 21 (70%) of the patients and 25-30 weeks in nine (30%) cases. The average time of union in our study was 19.55±0.69 weeks in case of interlocking nailing and 20.38±1.39 weeks in case of plating and there was no statistically significant difference between the two. However, there is statistically significant difference in the functional score in between the two groups in terms of Lower Extremity Functional Score (LEFS). Delayed union in one case of nailing and two cases of plating, valgus malunion in one case of nailing and joint stiffness in two cases each of nailing and plating were the major complications observed.
Conclusion: There was no difference between the two modalities in terms of fracture union. Complications were lesser but more serious in case of plating. Patient satisfaction was more with plating.

Published: April 2023

Background: Dengue is an acute systemic viral disease that has established itself globally in both endemic and epidemic transmission cycles. The disease is spread by the bite of an Aedes mosquito. Electrolyte disturbances is a major complication in dengue infection. In present study serum sodium, potassium & chloride level was estimated to find the electrolyte abnormality in dengue patients.
Material & Methods: This prospective cross sectional study was done on 121 adult patients of “Shaheed Suhrawardy Medical College, Hospital” from August 2019 to April 2020 who were tested positive by NS1 or IgM for dengue.
Result: Mean age of dengue patients was 31.17 ± 11.8 yrs. Higher percentage (57.85%) of dengue patients were observed in young age group (i.e. 18-30 yrs.) than any other age group. Mean value of serum electrolytes was 139.34±3.76 meq/L, 4.48±.74 meq/L & 101.1±3.55 meq/L for sodium, potassium & chloride respectively. Mean value of all electrolytes are higher in dengue fever than dengue hemorrhagic fever though there was no significant statistical difference. Among all the dengue patients 10.7% had hyponatremia, 4.1% had hypernatremia and 85.1% had normal serum sodium. Regarding serum potassium status 9.92% had hypokalemia, 17.36% % had hyperkalemia and 72.72% had normal serum potassium.
Conclusions: Young male population aged 18-30 yrs is more prone to dengue infection. Common electrolyte disturbances in dengue infection are hyponatremia and hyperkalemia.

Published: April 2023

Periampullary neoplasms are a heterogeneous group of tumors arising within 2 cm of the ampulla of Vater. Neuroendocrine tumors can originate throughout the entire body from neuroendocrine cells. These neoplasms exhibit deep differences, according to their origin and biological behavior. The synchronous presence of a primary tumor in patients affected by a neuroendocrine tumor is reported in the literature; incidence is variable and the most common site is the gastrointestinal tract. Here we report a case of 68 years old female presented with jaundice, anorexia and weight loss. She was mildly anaemic. Gall bladder was palpable. There was no organomegaly. Her CT scan and MRCP revealed a growth in periampullary region. So she underwent Whipple’s procedure. Histopathological report showed synchronous presence of periampullary carcinoma and a carcinoid tumor in stomach. As the carcinoid tumor was nonfunctioning and very small in size, it was not identified in pre-operative work up.

Sob uma metodologia qualitativa foram entrevistados 156 bolsistas de 10 programas de pós-graduação e utilizada análise múltipla de correspondência e análise qualitativa de conteúdo das entrevistas. Os resultados evidenciaram que 40,4% dos egressos cursam doutorado em outras instituições, 24,4% atuam como professores da rede básica e 23,7% atuam como docentes universitários. O PIBAP traduziu-se em um serviço de acolhimento ao oferecer tranquilidade emocional para dedicação dos bolsistas aos estudos. A pesquisa mostrou o impacto na melhoria das práticas de ensino docente e no despertar pelo desejo de ingresso na docência e na pesquisa.

Purpose: To evaluate and compare intraoperative pain during upper eyelid blepharoplasty (UEB) between on first and second operated eyelids.Methods: In this cross-sectional observational study, the patients were divided into two groups, with group 1 representing 40 patients whose surgery was first started on the right and group 2 representing the other 40 patients who started surgery on the left first. UEB was performed to all patients by the same surgeon under the same and equal amount of local anesthesia. Degree of pain felt during surgery on first and second operated eyelid was evaluated with the visual analoge scale (VAS) and Wong-Baker Facial Pain Expression Scale (WBFPES) of all patients immediately after surgery and was compared using paired t-test.Results: There were 20 female and 20 male patients in both groups. In group 1, the VAS value was 2.8 ± 1.5 and WBFPES value was 2.7 ± 1.6 UEB in the first operated eyelid; the VAS value was 4.1 ± 1.8 and WBFPES value was 3.9 ± 1.8 UEB in the second operated eyelid. A significant difference was found between pains felt during first and second operated eyelid UEB regarding VAS and WBFPES values in group 1 (p = 0.003 and p = 0.002, respectively). In group 2, the VAS value was 1.9 ± 1.0 and WBFPES value was 2.0 ± 1.0 UEB in the first operated eyelid; the VAS value was 3.0 ± 1.5 and WBFPES value was 2.8 ± 1.6 UEB in the second operated eyelid. A significant difference was found between pains felt during first operated and second operated eyelid UEB regarding VAS and WBFPES values in group 2 (p = 0.009 and p = 0.005, respectively).Conclusions: To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to evaluate which eyelid is more painful during surgery in UEB. Patients tend to feel more pain during surgery on the second operated eyelid. Therefore, surgeons should consider using local anesthetics with more volume or longer duration in the second operating eyelid in light of this information and patients should be given detailed information about pain.

Published: April 2023

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection caused worldwide health problems, and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. Cardiovascular complications of COVID-19 are not uncommon; among them, arrhythmia is considered a significant risk factor for poor health outcomes in adults. However, data are scarce on the arrhythmia of pediatric patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection, possibly due to their mild symptoms and low incidence of cardiovascular involvement. Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children reportedly features increased cardiovascular involvement, but arrhythmic complications remain unidentified. Thus, here we review the epidemiology, manifestations, and outcomes of pediatric arrhythmia associated with COVID-19.

Language Aquisition or commonly referred to as language acquisition is very important in human life. Language is a means of communication when interacting with others, which must be mastered by humans from an early age. Language acquisition and good language mastery mastered from an early age can support the quality of human life, especially in the aspect of social interaction with others. Therefore, given the importance of early language acquisition, language acquisition in children is important to learn. This article will present some brief reviews of language acquisition in terms of design and how language acquisition in children is obtained through electronic media, namely by watching the Upin Ipin animated series on television. The source of data in this study is the "Upin Ipin" series, chosen by the author because this animated series is much favored by children, especially elementary school age. The purpose of this research is to describe language acquisition in children and its influence on children's psychology through the animated series "Upin Ipin" in terms of linguistics, namely phonology, morphology, syntax. The method used in this research is qualitative method with case study approach. The results obtained in this study, among others, in terms of phonology, children can be said to be fluent in pronouncing vowels and consonants clearly. In terms of morphology, children have not used systematic sentences. From the syntactic level, they have produced adjective, noun and verb phrases. Through watching the Upin Ipin animated television series, eight-year-old children have the ability to use deixis in their speaking activities, both conversations with peers and with parents.

Soft-bottom intertidal systems are valuable due to the ecosystem services they provide. Although these systems are normally subjected to highly variable environmental conditions, disturbances have become more frequent due to increases in anthropogenic pressure. Sea level rise (SLR) may generate changes in the ecosystem functioning of intertidal systems and in the ecosystem services they provide. In the Argentinean coast (SW Atlantic), SLR analysis shows trends similar to the global ones. It is not known how disturbances may affect the activity of benthic communities and the associated ecosystem functions. Therefore, through a field experiment at the marsh-mudflat edge in northeastern Argentina, we evaluated the effect of increased inundation time on bioturbation intensity, detritus decomposition and microphytobenthic primary production. Sediment physicochemical parameters (pH, temperature, water content and organic matter) were also measured. The results showed that increased inundation time had no effect on microphytobenthic primary production or bioturbation intensity in summer. Nevertheless, inundation time increased the burrowing activity of the intertidal crabNeohelice granulatain winter and spring and greatly decreased the variability inSpartina densifloradecomposition and organic matter content. In the context of a changing world due to global climate change, reduced variability in ecosystem functioning could indicate a decline in ecosystem resilience. As a consequence, vital ecosystem functions could be altered or lost, thus impacting the ecosystem services they deliver.
Výmena obyvateľstva medzi Československom a Maďarskom (v rokovaniach Československo-maďarskej zmiešanej komisie)

Published: April 2023

Výmena obyvateľstva medzi Československom a Maďarskom sa realizovala na základe Dohody o výmene obyvateľstva medzi Československom a Maďarskom, ktorá bola podpísaná 27. februára 1946. Jej prijatie bolo nielen súčasťou československých riešení postavenia národnostných menšín, ale aj súčasťou strategickej koncepcie budovania štátu Čechov a Slovákov, bez Nemcov a Maďarov. Dohoda bola súčasťou povojnového riešenia vzájomných sporov, nedorozumení a mala byť jedným z riešení, ktoré v povojnovej dobe mali eliminovať faktor, ktorý podľa čsl. politických špičiek zapríčinil vojnový konflikt. Výmena obyvateľstva medzi Československom a Maďarskom nebola teda izolovanou historickou udalosťou, ale bola súčasťou migračných pohybov, ktoré sa začali v Európe už po prvej svetovej vojne a môžeme povedať, že boli pokračovaním predchádzajúceho vývoja ako súčasť migračných schém v Európe.
Transient Facial Nerve Palsy in Aviation
Authors: Bloch Sune Land , Hertz Jonas , Klokker Mads
Published: April 2023

INTRODUCTION: Facial nerve palsy has been observed sporadically by aviation medicine doctors in recent years. We present two case reports of patients with the rare condition of facial nerve palsy occurring during aviation, along with a review of the literature, an overview of the phenomenon and the described symptoms of the cases. PubMed® including Medline® was searched using the terms nerve palsy and aviation with no restriction. In addition, two new cases of recurrent nerve palsy are described.

CASE REPORTS: We describe two case reports: A 20-yr-old woman reported recurrent transient left-sided facial nerve palsy with increased duration and intensity on four subsequent flights, and a 35-yr-old woman who reported a left-sided transient facial nerve palsy 20 min after ascent.

DISCUSSION: Included in the systematic review were 17 studies. Only case report studies were found. Including the two cases of facial nerve palsy described in this article, the reviewed studies represent 23 cases of peer-reviewed facial baro-palsy in aviation (ages 10 to 62 yr old). Having baro-palsy symptoms during flight is a rare condition, and the mechanism is not well understood. Some typical characteristics and possible mechanisms are discussed. PE tube insertion of the tympanic membrane has been found to be an effective treatment; however, further studies are needed.
