Published: June 2024

Approximately half of the asset forfeiture procedures initiated on the grounds of alleged criminal activity, involving seizing of private property for on average of three years, end up being terminated. This paper raises some aspects regarding the rights to seek compensation for unjustified or illegal seizures of property in a special administrative procedure. Some of the conclusions are related to the grounds and amounts of compensation: (a) lifting of asset seizure as a proof of unjustified restriction constituting sufficient grounds for compensation; and (b) distinction of illegal seizures as affecting only the limitations to the amount of compensation and officials’ liability vis-a-vis state; and (c) default application of consumer price index to calculation of damages.

Many Latvian lawyers who, fearing Soviet repressions, went into exile to the free world at the end of the Second World War, did not lose hope that Latvia would be freed from Soviet occupation. Some prominent lawyers, mainly judges, in the first decade after the war, while living in various European countries and the United States, discussed the ways in which a democratic system and the rule of law could be restored after Latvia regained its independence. For mutual communication, these lawyers in exile published an internal periodical newsletter.

This article focuses on draft law preparation materials, which are one of the types of legal supplementarysources. One of the elements of this supplementary source of law is the annotation. Its purpose is the appropriate application of the legal norm. This requires care and quality at all stages of a bill’s progress. Annotations vary in quality. Therefore, it is important to take the methodological steps correctly, determining the true meaning of the norm, finding it between the formulated initial intention, the will of the legislator and the goal of the legal norm, so that, for example, the Senate can accurately determine the particular judicial result. It should be emphasized once more that the aim of the legislator can be deduced from the joint context of the annotation, other drafting materials of the draft law, and the final version of the legal norm, without exaggerating the significance of the annotation in the historical interpretation of the legal norm. It is important to carry out further examination with the help of systemic and teleological interpretation and the goal theory of mixed legal interpretation.

Atsevišķi mantas izcelsmes pierādīšanas aspekti
Authors:   Latvijas Universitāte, Bierands Edijs
Published: June 2024

In connection with proving the origin of property, there have been, are and will continue to be debatable issues that have not been fully answered. In this article, the author addresses two issues. Firstly, to the antinomy between state’s interests to effectively combat criminally obtained property and the recognized human rights to property. The author examines whether and how proportionality must be evaluated in case when the criminal origin of property is not unequivocally linked to a particular criminal offense. Furthermore, there have been debates on the possibility to use testimony in the proceedings regarding criminally acquired property. In this article, the author inquires whether these proceedings permit the use of oral evidence, and if so, whether national regulation contains any obstacles regarding verification of such evidence.

Published: June 2024

Soft law originates in the international public law and has been used in the European Union for a long time, however, the popularity of soft law has boomed within the last twenty years. On the one hand, soft law appears very clear – these are non-compulsory and non-binding law instruments, whereas on the other – it is a multidimensional legal phenomenon that can have a significant impact upon the legal systems of European Union and national levels. Despite their popularity, they are associated with a significant weakening of democracy, transparency, and the rule of law in the European Union.
Matripotência e biointeração: princípios contracoloniais de defesa da vida
Authors: SILVA V. P.
Published: June 2024

The colonization process that built Modernity imposed dichotomous power structures on people all over the world based on the domination-subordination pair, which permeate relations of race, gender, social class, humanity-nature, among others. With Carla Akotirene and Nego Bispo, we understand that in resisting colonial violence it is important to forge our own concepts, based on the cosmoperpeptions of afropindoramic peoples. Therefore, we bring here a little of how racism and machismo are articulated based on colonial dynamics, perpetuating multiple oppressions and epistemicides in relation to the knowledge and ways of life of afropindoramic peoples. However, such knowledge is alive and powerful, organizing life in countercolonial communities and can help us break with essentialisms and rethink our social organization, by constituting a counterpoint to the power structures that determine relations in colonial capitalism. In this sense, we bring the concepts of Biointeraction, by Antônio Bispo dos Santos, and Matripotency, by Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí.

Published: June 2024

The Southern Ocean is rich in highly dynamic mesoscale eddies and
substantially modulates global biogeochemical cycles. However, the
overall surface and subsurface effects of mesoscale eddies on the
Southern Ocean biogeochemistry have not been quantified observationally
at a large scale. Here, we co-locate eddies, identified in the Meta3.2DT
satellite altimeter-based product, with biogeochemical Argo floats to
determine the effect of eddies on the dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC),
nitrate, and dissolved oxygen concentrations in the upper 1500m of the
ice-free Southern Ocean (south of 35°S), as well as the eddy effects on
the carbon fluxes in this region. DIC and nitrate concentrations are
lower in anticyclonic eddies (AEs) and increased in cyclonic eddies
(CEs), while dissolved oxygen anomalies switch sign above and below the
mixed layer. We attribute these anomalies primarily to eddy pumping
(isopycnal heave), plus eddy trapping for oxygen. Maximum anomalies in
all tracers occur at greater depths in the subduction zone north of the
Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) compared to the upwelling region in
the ACC, reflecting differences in background vertical structures. Eddy
effects on air-sea CO2 exchange have significant seasonal variability,
with additional outgassing in CEs in fall (physical process) and
additional oceanic uptake in AEs and CEs in spring (biological and
physical process). Integrated over the Southern Ocean, AEs contribute
~0.03±0.01PgCyr-1 (7±2%) to the Southern Ocean carbon
uptake, and CEs offset this by ~0.01±0.01PgCyr-1
(2±2%). These findings underscore the importance of taking eddy impacts
into account in observing networks and model representation of ocean
biogeochemical processes.
The effects of basil (Ocimum basilicum) leaf extract on Ca9-22 oral cancer cells
Authors: Li Min , Wang Yueyan , Bao Yan
Published: June 2024

Basil (Ocimum basilicum), as a prominent member of the Lamiaceae family, is known to possess anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, and anti-cancer properties. This study investigated the inhibitory effect of basil extract on oral cancer cells. Basil leaves were dried and extracted with ethanol. The 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay was used to assess the cytotoxic effect of basil extract (12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 ?g/mL) on Ca9- 22, a human gingival squamous carcinoma cell line, after 24, 48, and 72 h. Gene expression of cell cycle regulators (cyclin D1, cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), p21, p53) and inflammatory markers (cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-?), interleukin (IL)-1? and IL-6) was analyzed using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Additionally, these markers were measured in culture supernatants via enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The MTT assay revealed a concentration-dependent reduction in cell viability, with IC50 values of 350 ?g/mL for Ca9-22 cells. RT-PCR analysis revealed that treated cells exhibited downregulation of cyclin D1 and CDK4, along with upregulation of p21 and p53, compared to control Ca9-22 cells, which were only exposed to nutrient medium. These changes were observed at both mRNA and protein levels. Inflammatory genes (COX-2, iNOS, TNF-?, IL-1?, IL-6) were significantly decreased at both mRNA and protein levels. Basil extract exerts cytotoxic effects on oral cancer cells by inhibiting cell cycle progression and inflammatory mediators. These findings point to the potential use of O. basilicum extract as a therapeutic agent against oral cancer.

Published: June 2024

Background and purpose: Thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint osteoarthritis (OA) is increasingly treated with total joint arthroplasty (TJA). We aimed to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis of the benefits and harms of the TJA for thumb CMC OA compared with other treatment strategies.Patients and methods: We performed a systematic search on MEDLINE and CENTRAL databases on August 2, 2023. We included randomized controlled trials investigating the effect of TJA in people with thumb CMC joint OA regardless of the stage or etiology of the disease or comparator. The outcomes were pooled with a random effect meta-analysis.Results: We identified 4 studies randomizing 420 participants to TJA or trapeziectomy. At 3 months, TJA’s benefits for pain may exceed the clinically important difference. However, after 1-year follow-up TJA does not improve pain compared with trapeziectomy (mean difference 0.53 points on a 0 to 10 scale; 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.26–0.81). Furthermore, it provides a transient benefit in hand function at 3 months (measured with Disabilities of Arm, Shoulder, and Hand questionnaire, scale 0–100, lower is better) compared with trapeziectomy with or without ligament reconstruction tendon interposition. The benefit in function diminished to a clinically unimportant level at 1-year follow-up (4.4 points better; CI 0.42–8.4).Conclusion: Transient benefit in hand function for TJA implies that it could be a preferable option over trapeziectomy for people who consider fast postoperative recovery important. However, current evidence fails to inform us if TJA carries long-term higher risks of revisions compared with trapeziectomy.
Demographics and risk for containment surgery in patients with unilateral Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease: a national population-based cohort study of 309 patients from the Swedish Pediatric Orthopedic Quality Register
Authors: Wadström Miriam G , Hailer Nils P , Hailer Yasmin D
Published: June 2024

Background and purpose: It is controversial as to which patients affected by Legg–Calvé–Perthes disease (LCPD) benefit from containment surgery. This population-based study based on data from a national quality registry aims to assess the incidence of LCPD and to explore which factors affect the decision for surgical intervention.Methods: This observational study involved 309 patients with unilateral LCPD reported between 2015 and 2023 to the Swedish Pediatric Orthopedic Quality Register (SPOQ). Descriptive statistics and logistic regression models were used for analysis.Results: In 2019, the assessed incidence of LCPD in the Swedish population of 2–12-year-olds was 4.2 per 105. 238 (77%) were boys with a mean age of 6 years. At diagnosis, 55 (30%) were overweight or obese, rising to 17 patients (39%) and 16 patients (40%) at 2-year follow-up for surgically and non-surgically treated groups, respectively. At diagnosis, affected hips had reduced abduction compared with healthy hips, and their abduction remained restricted at the 2-year follow-up. Surgically treated patients had inferior abduction compared with non-surgically treated ones at diagnosis. The adjusted risk for containment surgery increased with age and in the presence of a positive Trendelenburg sign but decreased with greater hip abduction.Conclusion: We found a lower national yearly incidence (4.2 per 105) than previously reported in Swedish studies. A higher proportion of overweight or obese patients compared with the general Swedish population of 4–9-year-olds was identified. Increasing age, positive Trendelenburg sign, and limited hip abduction at diagnosis correlated with increased surgical intervention likelihood.
International trends in shoulder replacement: a meta-analysis from 11 public joint registers
Authors: Rupani Neal , Combescure Christophe , Silman Alan , Lübbeke Anne , Rees Jonathan
Published: June 2024

Background and purpose: International variation exists in the types of shoulder replacement used for treatment of specific diseases. Implant choice continues to evolve without high-quality evidence. Our aim was to evaluate trends in incidence rates of shoulder replacement and assess any recent changes in practice between countries by using registry data.Methods: Patient characteristics, indication and year of surgery, type of replacement, and collection methods of patient-reported outcomes (PROMs) was extracted from 11 public joint registries. Meta-analyses examined use of reverse total shoulder replacement (RTSR) for osteoarthritis, cuff tear arthropathy, and acute fracture; use of anatomical total shoulder replacement (TSR) for osteoarthritis; and use of humeral hemiarthroplasty for fracture.Results: The annual growth rate of shoulder replacements performed is 6–15% (2011–2019). The use of RTSR has almost doubled (93%). RTSR is now universally performed for cuff tear arthropathy (97.3%, 95% confidence interval [CI] 96.0–98.1). Its use for avascular necrosis, trauma, and inflammatory arthropathy is increasing. The use of RTSR was similar (43.1%, CI 30.0–57.2) versus TSR (44.7%, CI 31.1–59.1) for osteoarthritis. The types of PROMs used, collection time points, and response rates lack standardization. COVID-19 had a varying inter-registry impact on incidence rates.Conclusion: The incidence of shoulder replacements has grown. Use of RTSR has increased for all disease indications despite limited high-quality evidence driving this change in indications outside of cuff arthropathy. Consequently, less variation is observed in international practice. Existing differences now relate to use of newer implant types and methodology of PROMs collection, which prevents international comparison and outcome analysis.
Mellom rasjonalitet og identitet: En analyse av Sveriges prosess mot NATO-medlemskap
Authors: Ziegler Tizian David
Published: June 2024

Russlands fullskalakrig mot Ukraina fra og med februar 2022 har hatt store konsekvenser for det europeiske sikkerhetslandskapet, for geopolitiske dynamikker og for utenriks- og sikkerhetspolitiske beslutninger i flere stater. Denne artikkelen analyserer Sveriges utenriks- og sikkerhetspolitikk i perioden 2014 til 2022. Fokuset ligger særlig på de faktorene som har formet Sveriges prosess mot Nato-medlemskap – og bort fra militær alliansefrihet. Undersøkelsen omfatter en gjennomgang av strategiske og geopolitiske hensyn av betydning for Sveriges tilnærming til egen sikkerhet og landets potensielle tilknytning til Nato. Artikkelen vurderer også interne faktorer av betydning for Sveriges vei mot søknad om Nato-medlemskap, slik som beslutningstakeres (trussel)oppfatninger, statsstruktur, styrken til statsapparatet overfor befolkningen og interne prosesser knyttet til kultur, identitet og sosialdemokratenes dominante rolle i svensk politikk, samt landets forhold til Finland. Ut fra dette søker artikkelen å gi en forståelse av eksterne og interne faktorer som har bidratt til Sveriges søknad om Nato-medlemskap i møte med en stadig mer utfordrende global sikkerhetssituasjon.
Abstract in English:Between Rationality and Identity: An Analysis of Sweden’s Path to NATO-MembershipThe full-scale war waged by Russia against Ukraine as of February 2022 has had profound consequences for the European security landscape, triggering significant shifts in geopolitical dynamics and influencing individual states’ foreign and security policy decisions. This article provides an in-depth analysis of Sweden’s foreign and security policy spanning 2014 to 2022. The focus is particularly on understanding the factors that have shaped and influenced Sweden’s trajectory towards NATO membership – and away from military non-alignment. The examination encompasses a review of strategic and geopolitical considerations that played a role in Sweden’s approach to security and alignment with NATO. The article also considers internal factors relevant to the path toward Sweden’s NATO membership, such as decision-makers (threat) perceptions, state structure, the strength and legitimacy of the state apparatus, and internal processes related to culture, identity, the Social Democrat’s dominant role in Swedish politics, and the country’s relationship with Finland. From this, the article seeks to provide a thorough understanding of the complex dynamics at play, shedding light on the internal and external factors that have contributed to Sweden’s NATO membership application in the face of evolving global security challenges.

One of the promising directions of road traffic accident examination related to the calculating of vehicle’s driving speed is the speed calculation based on the efforts of motional energy for the deformation of vehicle bodies. The currently used technique of calculating vehicles’ road speed based on the vehicle`s deformations is considered. There is substantiated lack of possibility for applying this technique in the absence of traces of objects` movement in case of a collision with a small-sized object with a mass much less than the mass of the vehicle. The authors offer using the Galileo's principle of relativity when looking for the solution of this problem. The proposed solution was tested on the example of a real road traffic accident.

Published: June 2024

The article presents the study of typification processes in the investment and construction cycle of the Russian Federation which are regarded through the aspects of real estate object liquidity and the theory of transaction costs. It has been proved that in order to reduce the transaction costs for participants in the investment and construction cycle in the Russian Federation, it is necessary to standardize transactions` environment. Such type design procedure makes it possible to reduce the uncertainty of the transaction environment, which, in turn, is a determinant of the corresponding (transactional) costs. There are considered two directions of typification of transaction environment, namely, transactions in regional practices of regulatory institutions in construction and transactions in investment and construction processes.

De la adhesión a Maastricht: balance de la primera década de la empresa española en la Comunidad Europea (1986-1995)
Authors: García Crespo Guillermo
Published: June 2024

Este artículo aborda la trayectoria de la empresa española durante los primeros diez años de España en las Comunidades Europeas. Buena parte de esta primera década está ligada al calendario de transición establecido en las negociaciones España-CEE para la adopción del acervo comunitario por el nuevo estado miembro. Este período de transición, establecido en siete años para la mayor parte de los capítulos del acuerdo, coincidió con un momento fundamental en el relanzamiento de la integración europea, que sufrirá profundas transformaciones en su marco institucional y socioeconómico. Es la etapa que el presidente Felipe González llamó “la década de la galopada europea”, iniciada con la aprobación del Acta Única Europea en 1986 y que tiene su corolario en la adopción del euro en la cumbre de Madrid celebrada en diciembre de 1995, que cierra la segunda presidencia española del Consejo Europeo. En este artículo se estudia cómo la empresa española interpretó los avances competenciales e institucionales de la Comunidad Europea en esos años. Para ello, se prestará especial atención a las características del discurso europeísta de la principal organización patronal española, la CEOE, y su conexión con el programa de reformas económicas de los gobiernos socialistas del período.

Accuracy of Precise Point Positioning (PPP) with the use of different International GNSS Service (IGS) products and stochastic modelling
Authors: Kiliszek Damian , Szołucha Marcin , Kroszczyński Krzysztof
Published: June 2024

This paper provides analyses of the accuracy and convergence time of the PPP method using GPS systems and different IGS products. The official IGS products: Final, Rapid and Ultra Rapid as well as MGEX products calculated by the CODE analysis centres were used. In addition, calculations with weighting function of the observations were carried out, depending on the elevation angle. The best results were obtained for CODE products, with a 5-minute interval precision ephemeris and precise corrections to satellite clocks with a 30-second interval. For these calculations the accuracy of position determination was at the level of 3 cm with a convergence time of 44 min. Final and Rapid products, which were orbit with a 15-minute interval and clock with a 5 minute interval, gave very similar results. The same level of accuracy was obtained for calculations with CODE products, for which both precise ephemeris and precise corrections to satellite clocks with the interval of 5 minutes. For these calculations, the accuracy was 4 cm with the convergence time of 70 min. The worst accuracy was obtained for calculations with Ultra-rapid products, with an interval of 15 minutes. For these calculations, the accuracy was 10 cm with a convergence time of 120 min. The use of the weighting function improved the accuracy of position determination in each case, except for calculations with Ultra-rapid products. The use of this function slightly increased the convergence time, in addition to the CODE calculation, which was reduced to 9 min.

Published: June 2024

OBJECTIVE

To determine the effects of prolonged administration of the oral NSAIDs phenylbutazone and firocoxib on concentrations of cytokines and growth factors in platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and autologous protein solution (APS).

ANIMALS

6 adult University owned horses.

METHODS

Horses were randomized to receive phenylbutazone (1 g, orally, q 12 h) or firocoxib (57 mg, orally, q 24 h) for 6 days. Blood was obtained and processed for APS (Pro-Stride) and PRP (Restigen) before the administration of NSAIDs and at 7 days (1 day following cessation of NSAIDs). Horses underwent a two-week washout period, during which blood was obtained at 14 days and 21 days. The protocol was repeated with a crossover design. PRP and APS were analyzed for concentrations of platelets, leukocytes, and several cytokines (IL-1β, IL-10, IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor-α) and growth factors (PDGF, FGF-2, and TGF-β1) using immunoassays. Plasma was evaluated for drug concentrations.

RESULTS

No significant differences existed in concentrations of growth factors and cytokines before or after prolonged administration of NSAIDs. There were significant differences in concentrations of leukocytes and platelets in PRP compared to APS, with higher concentrations of leukocytes at the day 7 time point (T) in APS (phenylbutazone) and in concentrations of platelets in APS at T0 (firocoxib) and in APS at T7 (phenylbutazone).

CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Veterinarians can recommend the administration of these oral NSAIDs prior to obtaining blood for PRP and APS provided a single-day washout period is instituted.

The International Sustainability Standards Board of the IFRS Foundation is developing standards designed to become a global framework for the disclosure of information on sustainable development, focused on the needs of investors and financial markets. The European Financial Reporting Advisory Group is developing European Sustainability Reporting Standards, which should cover a wide range of topics to meet the information needs of various stakeholders. New systems of ESG reporting standards are aimed at generating complete, coherent, comparable and verifiable information in the field of sustainable development. The research results obtained will contribute to the further promotion of sustainability reporting, improve corporate financial reporting practices by incorporating the impact of sustainability issues on value creation, and enhance stakeholder awareness and decision-making in a comprehensive and ESG-informed manner.

Authors: Нємцев Арсен
Published: June 2024

У статті висвітлено специфіку етичних ладів Великого Канону Андрія Критського, написаного Дмитром Бортнянським. З’ясовано, що в цьому каноні прослідковуються низхідні етичні лади різного характеру, які переплітаються між собою та переходять у катарсистичну розв’язку, яка, зі свого боку, готує завершення кожного ірмоса та кондака, що вказує на екстатичний фрігійський етичний лад. Наголошено, що окремі мотиви канону відображають мужній дорійський етичний лад і оплакувальний лідійський етичний лад. Розкрито поняття катарсису та його вплив на розвиток музично-словесного образу щодо мотивів цього канону.

Published: June 2024

Me dirijo a usted en relación al artículo titulado “Inteligencia emocional y estrategias de afrontamiento al estrés”, publicado en el volumen 23, número 3, del año 2023 de la revista que usted dirige. En dicho trabajo, se destaca una correlación significativa entre la inteligencia emocional y el estrés en trabajadores de un hospital de tercer nivel de atención (1). Sin embargo, ante el creciente número de pacientes con cáncer de mama, es crucial explorar cómo medir una dimensión fundamental para la salud mental y emocional de estas pacientes: la resiliencia. La resiliencia está relacionada con el ajuste psicológico, la adherencia al tratamiento, la supervivencia y la calidad de vida (2).
Unraveling the association between oral impacts on daily performances and dental caries among adults in a South Indian Metropolis
Authors: Babu Priya , N Amritha , Ingale Prasad Chandrakant
Published: June 2024

Objectives:

Conventionally, oral health outcomes have been assessed using clinical criteria and the subjective opinions of clinicians. However, these methods have failed to capture the true impact of oral diseases on an individual’s overall quality of life (QoL). Specifically, dental caries and tooth loss have been identified as factors that can significantly affect an individual’s oral health-related QoL (OHRQoL). Taking this into consideration, a recent study was conducted to investigate the association between oral impacts on daily performance (OIDP) scores and the oral health status of adults aged 25 years and older residing in Bengaluru South.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted among 800 adults aged 25 years and older in Bengaluru, South city. Clinical examination was performed using the decayed, missing-filled teeth (DMFT) index. OHRQoL was assessed using the OIDP questionnaire. For statistical analysis, the Chi-square test, Mann– Whitney U-test, Kruskal–Wallis test, and Spearman’s correlation were applied.

Results:

70.4% of the study participants had at least one oral impact affecting their daily performances. Out of eight daily performances, the most affected performance was eating, followed by emotional stability and carrying out major work. DMFT was significantly associated with OIDP.

Conclusion:

The prevalence of OIDPs in this population is high. Oral impacts had affected their QoL primarily through difficulties in eating. Appropriate program implementation is required for the upliftment of such deprived populations.

Authors: SIDHU TANVIR KAUR , MAHAJAN RAJIV , KAUR DALJIT , BHANDARI BHARTI
Published: June 2024

Background

Evidence-based research aids in decision-making in the health sector for developing health policies for prevention, diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Medical research is not taught in the undergraduate curriculum. Studies show that attributes of research knowledge, awareness and practical involvement in research are low among undergraduate students. We developed and validated a module and trained undergraduate students in research skills through an inter-ventional workshop using the structured module.

Methods

We did this participatory action research with a mixed-methods approach in the Department of Community Medicine at Adesh Institute of Medical Sciences and Research, Bathinda, Punjab. A structured module was developed by the core committee and validated internally and externally. Pilot testing of the module was done by delivering it in the form of a workshop to 46 students. For statistical analysis, percentage agreements, validity indices, median (interquartile range), satisfaction percentages and Wilcoxon sign test were used.

Results

The structured and validated module was established to have high face validity (>90%) and content validity (CVI=0.975). The module was successfully pilot tested for delivery through both onsite and online modes. The satisfaction percentage with the workshop was 91% and 100% and overall rating of the module was 74% and 91% by interns and MBBS students, and 100% by faculty. The scores of knowledge and skills were found to be significantly higher on all variables post workshop with p<0.001. All students scored satisfactory grades for research skills.

Conclusions

Teaching research using a structured validated module improved the knowledge and skills related to research among students. Both students and faculty were satisfied with the use of the structured module.
