El procedimiento contencioso-administrativo abreviado; la incidencia de la nueva Ley de enjuiciamiento civil en su regulación
Authors: Alcañiz Rodríguez Alfredo
Published: November 2023

I. ANTECEDENTES.
En el ámbito estricto del derecho positivo, los antecedentes más remotos del procedimiento abreviado objeto de estudio y regulado en el artículo 78 de la vigente Ley de la Jurisdicción Contencioso-Administrativa (LJCA) (Ley 29/1998, de 13 de julio) hay que situarlos en el antiguo proceso en materia de personal que contemplaba la LJCA de 1956 en sus artículos 113 y siguientes, proceso que se reservaba para aquellas cuestiones de personal que no implicaran la separación de empleados públicos inamovibles. Sin embargo, éste, más que de un proceso especial, se trataba de una variante del proceso ordinario que se caracterizaba por la mayor brevedad de los plazos, pero manteniendo la tradicional regulación del proceso contencioso-administrativo que giraba en torno al principio de escritura con el consiguiente detrimento de los principios de inmediación judicial y celeridad que no resultaban debidamente garantizados.Sin embargo el nuevo procedimiento abreviado parte del criterio opuesto, haciendo pivotar su regulación en torno a los principios de oralidad, celeridad, inmediación y contradicción, y en el que salvo la demanda y la sentencia todas las actuaciones son orales y se producen en la vista con unidad de acto, por lo que en un tiempo relativamente corto se puede obtener una sentencia de primera instancia y preservar así en el ámbito del proceso contencioso-administrativo el derecho a la tutela judicial efectiva que garantiza el artículo 24 de la Constitución Española.

Transexualidad y derecho a contraer matrimonio
Authors: Romero Coloma Aurelia María
Published: November 2023

Lo primero que hay que resaltar en este difícil y delicado tema y de la problemática que, sin duda, plantea, apasionante, como puede comprenderse, es que el sexo cromosómico de una persona es inmutable, algo que no puede modificarse a lo largo de la existencia vital. Este factor es importantísimo y a mi juicio hay que tenerlo siempre presente, porque todo transexual, a pesar de la intervención quirúrgica, delicadísima, que haya sufrido para cambiar su sexo - del sexo masculino al femenino, es el más común, aunque también se han dado casos, menos numerosos, de cambio de sexo femenino a masculino-, su sexo cromosómico será el que originalmente tuvo al nacer y no otro.
Sin embargo, en aras al respeto a la dignidad de la persona humana, proclamada solemnemente en el artículo 10 de nuestra Constitución, y del libre desarrollo de la personalidad en todas sus facetas, también, por supuesto, como no podía ser menos, en la sexual o ámbito de la sexualidad humana, sería justo plantearse que los transexuales pudieran contraer matrimonio, se legalizara este tipo de situaciones y el Ordenamiento Jurídico se atreviera, por fin, a normar una materia que, sin duda, es objeto en la actualidad, de una viva polémica, que enfrente a conservadores y progresistas desde el punto de vista ideológico.
La transexualidad es un fenómeno que alcanza cotas sociológicas en la actualidad. El derecho dará, al fin, su última palabra en esta problemática, teniendo siempre en consideración los derechos inviolables de todas las personas, a tenor de las Declaraciones Internacionales y del contenido, en sede de derechos fundamentales, de la Carta Magna de nuestro país.
Quien contamina paga (un paso decisivo en su aplicación con la ­directiva sobre responsabilidad ambiental)
Authors: Castroviejo Bolíbar Miguel
Published: November 2023

En el largo camino a recorrer hacia una directiva reguladora de los daños ambientales, con carácter general, se parte de un presupuesto básico que pretende repercutir los gastos generados por la reparación de cualquier daño ambiental en el sujeto que los generó, además de fomentar comportamientos más responsables. Hay dos elementos particularmente importantes para garantizar la eficiencia de un régimen de responsabilidad: la atribución de la responsabilidad a un actor determinado y la disponibilidad de medios suficientes para reparar el daño una vez producido. En orden a la reparación de los daños, por otra parte, es recomendable el establecimiento de un régimen obligatorio de garantías financieras que, combinado con un fondo adecuado, podría garantizar en cualquier circunstancia la disponibilidad de medios suficientes para la reparación de los daños.
El criterio de partida para lograr un régimen de responsabilidad eficaz era el aplicarlo a todas las actividades que presenten un riesgo razonable de producir daños al medio ambiente o para la salud humana. No obstante, se ha determinado la exclusión de ciertas actividades. Quedan expresamente excluidos los derivados de la contaminación difusa cuando no se puede demostrar quién es el autor o autores concretos del daño. Se quedan fuera también los daños y amenazas de daños derivados de incidentes cubiertos por una serie de convenios internacionales relativos al transporte marítimo y a la industria nuclear y los causados por fenómenos naturales, guerras y hostilidades, así como por las actividades de defensa nacional y las de protección contra catástrofes naturales.
En lo concerniente a las medidas de reparación del daño, considerando que el concepto de reparación del daño ambiental es distinto según se trate de daños al suelo o de daños a las aguas o a los hábitats o especies protegidas, son fundamentalmente de tres tipos: medidas de reparación primarias, complementarias y compensatorias.
Los administradores competidores de la S.A. administrada (un análisis práctico y parcial del art. 132.2 LSA)
Authors: Rodríguez Ruiz de Villa Daniel
Published: November 2023

Este trabajo ha sido seleccionado y ha obtenido el 2.º Premio Estudios Financieros 2004 en la Modalidad de DERECHO CIVIL Y MERCANTIL.
Análisis del artículo 132.2 de la LSA, que previene la interdicción de la competencia de los administradores con la S.A. por ellos administrada. Se delimitan los ámbitos subjetivo y objetivo de aplicación del precepto, para defender seguidamente una interpretación rigurosa del mismo, en el sentido de que obliga a la Junta General de Accionistas a adoptar el acuerdo de destitución de tales administradores competidores. En consecuencia se defiende, lógicamente, la impugnabilidad del acuerdo societario de no destitución del administrador competidor, acción acumulable a la de separación judicial de dicho administrador. Se aprovecha para proponer algunas modificaciones del precepto analizado, al objeto de resolver las dudas que su interpretación ha venido planteando a la doctrina y a la jurisprudencia. En fin, se trata de un estudio de evidente interés práctico como lo muestra el actual conflicto, posterior a la redacción del trabajo y que ha saltado a todos los medios de comunicación, relativo al nombramiento de administradores en «Fomento de Construcciones y Contratas, S.A.» por su accionista y competidora «Acciona, S.A.».

La tutela judicial del crédito ­cambiario. En defensa del juicio cambiario
Authors: Adán Doménech Federico
Published: November 2023

Los títulos cambiarios han constituido tradicionalmente una pieza fundamental en el tráfico empresarial y económico de nuestro país. Su especial importancia en las relaciones económicas requería de la instauración de una vía procesal que concediese una especial tutela al crédito consignado en estos documentos y al acreedor del mismo. Históricamente esta protección jurídica la ha otorgado el denominado juicio cambiario. No obstante, con la creación, con la nueva LEC, del proceso monitorio como cauce privilegiado para la reclamación de deudas documentadas, se le concede al tenedor de uno de estos títulos otra alternativa para la reclamación judicial de su crédito. En el presente artículo se pretende analizar las especiales ventajas, en cuanto a la protección del acreedor, que concede el juicio cambiario respecto de cualquier otro proceso especial regulado en nuestro código procesal.
La eterna sospecha de la simulación en el caso de las sociedades mercantiles que prestan servicios profesionales
Authors: Loma Pardo Pedro
Published: November 2023

La Sentencia del Tribunal Supremo de 21 de junio de 2023 ha vuelto a poner de manifiesto el choque eterno de interpretaciones entre órganos jurisdiccionales españoles (en este caso, Tribunal Supremo versus Audiencia Nacional) en lo referente a si el uso de estructuras mercantiles por parte de profesionales en el ejercicio de sus actividades económicas conlleva una evasión de las obligaciones tributarias de los propios profesionales por el supuesto y discutible ahorro fiscal que pueden permitir las mismas. En este caso, el pronunciamiento del Tribunal Supremo, de interés casacional para la formación de jurisprudencia, ante la Sentencia de la Audiencia Nacional de 7 de julio de 2021 (rec. núm. 112/ 2018), cuya doctrina pudiera llegar a ser gravemente dañosa para los intereses generales, defiende que una sociedad mercantil es una mera pantalla que no añade valor a los servicios profesionales personalísimos que presta el socio mayoritario-administrador. Se niega el uso de la economía de opción si la misma conlleva un remansamiento de rentas y un diferimiento de la tributación.

Transferencia de valores económicos para la estimación de los impactos de la restauración ambiental de los espacios explotados como minas en el Valle de Perote, Veracruz
Authors: Ruiz Sandoval Daniela , Arana Coronado Oscar Antonio , Sandoval Salas Fabiola , Godbout Stéphane , Gravel Nathalie , Brambila Paz José de Jesús , Arana Coronado José Jaime
Published: November 2023

El cierre de minas y la restauración de los sitios explotados, no cuentan con una metodología integral que sirva de guía para tomar decisiones respecto al destino final de las zonas que fueron usadas para la extracción de material pétreo. Es por ello que se vuelve necesario contar con herramientas útiles que permitan una mejor toma de decisiones relacionadas con las políticas ambientales y el desarrollo sustentable de una región. Este proceso se vuelve difícil, pues no siempre se cuenta con la información de los bienes, servicios o impactos que generan al patrimonio natural y la calidad del ambiente, además, no se cuenta con una metodología homogénea que permita conocer sus valores. A través de la valoración económica sobre los servicios ambientales prestados por los ecosistemas asociados a los diferentes sistemas de restauración de las zonas mineras en los municipios de Villa Aldama y Perote, se podrá obtener un valor económico. Este valor refleja los beneficios del área en términos de producción, así como de servicios eco-sistemáticos, por lo que se podrán tomar mejores decisiones para su implementación y de esa manera se podrá colaborar en la conservación y restauración ambiental.
17-Years-Old Teenager with Anencephaly
Authors: Herwanto Eko Setyo , Javier R Mohamad , Hudiyanto Prima Sultan
Published: November 2023

Background: Anencephaly is the most common type of Neural Tube Defect (NTD). Babies born with anencephaly usually die within hours or a few days after birth. The prevalence of anencephaly cases reaches 5.1 per 10,000 births in the world. There is no therapy for patients with anencephaly, but this condition can be detected early by ultrasonography. Case: 17-year-old girl with abdominal complaints that are getting bigger. She has pregnant and the fetus had suspected anencephaly. The patient’s vital signs were good and laboratory examination showed a slight increase in leukocytes, proteinuria, and leukocyturia. The ultrasound examination results gestational age was 29/30 weeks, and the radiological examination by a radiologist expert had similar results. The baby girl was born with a weight of 1,568 grams and an Apgar score of 2-3. On examination, prominent brain tissue was visible. The baby was treated for three days at Trenggalek General Hospital and survived for four days. Conclusion: The aetiology and pathophysiology of anencephaly are still unclear, but risk factors such as environmental, genetic, maternal and fetal conditions encourage this condition. Detection of NTDs can be done early in pregnancy using ultrasound. Early prevention must be carried out, such as regular consumption of folic acid to prevent the occurrence of NTDs. In this case, the occurrence of NTDs is thought to be due to the condition of the mother who is too young, socioeconomic factors, low consumption of folic acid and lack of knowledge and information about the importance of prevention in NTD cases.
Groundwater Exploration of Federal College of Education (Technical) Akoka Lagos Nigeria Community Using Schlumberger Array
Authors: Abel Ajayi Ayotunde , Fatimah Bakre Omolara , Peter Babatunde
Published: November 2023

A total of thirteen (13) Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) using Schlumberger array were carried out within Federal College of Education (Tech) Akoka, Yaba, Lagos State, Southwestern, Nigeria. This area is between Longitude N06º31’10” and Longitude N06º31’30” and Latitude E3º22′ 55″ and Latitude E3º23′ 5.3″. This study was necessary because of the roles water plays in human life, the demand for it and the failure of boreholes in some locations within the study area. Resistivity method of geophysical survey was applied to determine good locations for groundwater prospecting using PASI Terrameter and its accessories. The resistivity values obtained were plotted on a log-log graph scale for curve matching and computer iteration was carried out using WinResist software to generate computer models for the curve types. The Geoelectric sections beneath each VES point revealed about four to five geoelectric layers, comprising topsoil, sandy-clay, clayey-sand, clay, peat, and sandy formation. Analysis of geophysical investigation showed that sand at the third geoelectric layer in VES 1 and VES 11 with a resistivity value of 143.3 Ωm and 240 Ωm constitute aquifer units where groundwater can be tapped. The shallow groundwater could be tapped at depth interval 6.6-20.2 m in VES 1 and 25.2m and above in VES 11. The failure of borehole located within the female hostel was due to overburden of this shallow aquifer due to population explosion. The recommendation was made that groundwater development through borehole drilling of depth not less than 150m is needed for high groundwater yield based on available information from nearby well log since wider spread for the deep investigation is not possible within the study area.

Published: November 2023

The aim of this research was to evaluate the effect of using faloak bark solution in drinking water on the percentage of internal organs of broiler chickens. This research used a completely randomized design consisting of 4 treatments and 5 replications, with 5 chickens in each replication. The treatment given was T0 = without adding faloak bark solution to drinking water, T1 = 1 ml faloak bark solution/l drinking water, T2 = 1.5 ml faloak bark solution/l drinking water, T3 = 2 ml faloak bark solution/l drinking water. Research variables included the relative weight of bursa fabricius, spleen, and kidney. The results of statistical analysis showed that administration of faloak bark solution in drinking water had no significant effect [P>0.05] on internal organs [bursa fabricius, thymus, spleen, and kidneys]. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that giving faloak bark solution up to a dose of 2 ml/drinking water has not been able to improve the immune response of chickens and affect the kidney percentage of broiler chickens.
Optimization of Protease Production Using Agro Wastes by Aspergillus spp. In A Solid-State Fermentation
Authors: Jamilu Hadiza , Onyike Esther O. , Nasir Suleiman
Published: November 2023

gricultural wastes are highly nutritious and facilitate microbial growth and metabolism. Most agro-wastes are lignocellulosic in nature, composed of lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose. Agricultural residues can be used for the production of various value-added products, such as industrially important enzymes. Extracellular proteases have high commercial value and multiple applications in detergents, food, dairy, pharmaceutical, leather, diagnostics, waste management and several recovery industries. Aspergillus oryzae was isolated from rice farmland, Rigasa, Kaduna. It was screened for protease production using skimmed milk agar assay with a wider clear zone of casein hydrolysis (halo zone). The main objectives of this study were to isolate, characterized, and optimize the production conditions by Aspergillus oryzae under solid state fermentation (SSF) using locally available agricultural wastes used as substrate. The results showed that the optimum conditions for maximum protease production are 84 hours of incubation; pH 6.0; temperature of 35ᵒC; 3% inoculum size; peptone as Nitrogen source and rice husk as the best fermentation substrate. The highest protease activity of rice husk was 1350 Ug−1 of dry solids compared with an activity of corn cob 1005 Ug−1 respectively. Protease was produced from Aspergillus oryzae with broad substrate specificity, high pH and temperature stability.
Hyperbolic Genetic Mechanism of Human Evolution
Authors: González-González Jesús M.
Published: November 2023

The concept of “hyperbolic medicine” covers several aspects. Its main characteristic is that hyperbolic spatiotemporal curves found in nature generate hyperbolic mechanisms that influence human physiology. A bibliographic review of scientific works related to genetic aspects of human evolution and the structure of the genetic code has been carried out. Then, theoretically, the hyperbolic patterns that occur in human physiology and the genetic code have been studied, as a possible hyperbolic mechanism of human evolution. Images in nature are space-time hyperbolas and exist independently of the longitude and latitude of the Earth where they are observed. The lines of force of electromagnetic fields and many curves of processes that occur in human physiology are also hyperbolic curves. Electromagnetic fields have effects on human physiology through hyperbolic curves. The genetic code is shaped like a helix because when a current passes through it, a transverse magnetic field is generated, and its hyperbolic lines of force follow a counterclockwise helical path. The different types of evolution occur according to different mechanisms. The mutation is an evolution mechanism that is related to a stable and heritable alteration of DNA. Nature is hyperbolic, and this conditions human physiology and genetics to make it hyperbolic. The alteration of the genetic code is a mechanism of human evolution. This evolution may be conditioned by a change in the hyperbolic helical structure of the genetic code. The primary mechanism of evolution can be found in an alteration of the hyperbolic component of the genetic code, linked to nature.
Determining the Concentration Level of Air Pollutants Related to Road Traffic in Kano Metropolis

Published: November 2023

The problem of road traffic-related air pollutants is universal. Traffic air pollution usually occurs on roads and mainly at intersections which significantly affects the air quality of such areas. The research aims to provide empirical evidence on the relationship between road transport air pollutants and temperature conditions on climate modification in the study area, which might perfect environmental sustainability. The study was best designed on field Experimentation to assess the spatiotemporal emission levels and analyses the implications of road Vehicular traffic-related air pollutants Concentration (such as, Carbon monoxide, Nitrogen dioxide, Sulphur dioxide, Hydrogen Sulphide and Methane gas) on Kano weather conditions (precisely Temperature) in 15 selected sample sites or locations, the measurements of pollutants Concentration, temperature level were carried out using the instruments called a Crowcorn gas detector, field thermometer were used together with the help of 5 research assistants. presents the periodic concentration levels of CH4 (methane) in relation to road traffic in different time periods: afternoon, evening, and morning, categorized into three concentration levels: high, medium, and low. The table provides various statistical measures to describe the distribution of methane concentrations within each category. High Concentrations in the afternoon reveal an average mean methane concentration is 0.20. The coefficient of variability, which measures the dispersion of the data points around the mean, is 46.06%. The skewness of 1.19 implies a moderately positively skewed distribution. The kurtosis of 1.38 indicates a distribution with a peak slightly higher than a normal distribution and a moderate presence of outliers. These findings could inform air quality management and monitoring efforts in Kano Metropolis. If temperature is consistently correlated with higher CO and CH4 levels, authorities may need to consider seasonal variations and temperature-related interventions when addressing air quality issues.
Buprenorphine-Naloxone Film Versus Tablets for Opioid Use Disorder
Authors: Tingley Kylie , Mierzwinski-Urban Monika
Published: November 2023

What Is the Issue?

Medication for opioid use disorder is essential for reducing cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and facilitating recovery, with buprenorphine being preferred over methadone by health care providers and people with opioid use disorder due to its lower overdose risk and perceived lower side effect profile.

In Canada, buprenorphine is available in various formulations, including buprenorphine-naloxone (BUP-NAL), commonly chosen for its safety benefits and convenience.

Sublingual buprenorphine-naloxone films offer faster dissolution and potentially other benefits compared to sublingual tablets, evaluating their comparative clinical and cost-effectiveness is important as they become more widely available.

What Did We Do?

To inform decisions about the appropriate selection of BUP-NAL formulations for treating individuals with opioid use disorder, CADTH sought to identify and summarize literature comparing the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of sublingual BUP-NAL films versus tablets. We also attempted to identify evidence-based recommendations for the use of BUP-NAL film.

A research information specialist conducted a literature search of the peer-reviewed and grey literature with a search strategy focused on sublingual BUP-NAL. The search was limited to English-language documents published since January 1, 2018. One reviewer screened articles for inclusion based on predefined criteria, critically appraised the included study, and narratively summarized the findings.

What Did We Find?

Sublingual BUP-NAL films may have lower abuse rates compared to sublingual BUP-NAL tablets among people who seek treatment at substance abuse treatment centres or who present needing medical advice or treatment for intentional misuse or abuse of potentially toxic substances, including opioids (1 study).

We did not find any clinical effectiveness studies that assessed aspects related to drug ingestion, drug abuse cessation, treatment programs, health-related quality of life, mental health or safety of BUP-NAL films or tablets that met our criteria for this review.

We did not find any studies on cost-effectiveness or evidence-based guidelines of sublingual BUP-NAL films or tablets that met our criteria for this review.

What Does It Mean?

Limited evidence from this review suggests that sublingual BUP-NAL films may lead to lower substance abuse rates compared to sublingual BUP-NAL tablets among people with OUD; however, we require more comprehensive research with rigorous methodological approaches to understand this topic better.

Considering the low abuse potential for BUP-NAL film, decision-makers may wish to use this formulation in settings where the potential for substance abuse is high.
Influence of Debt Restructuring Strategy Implementation on Performance of Selected Commercial Banks in Kisumu Kenya
Authors: Barasa Maryline , Tibbs Charles , Shitseswa Ayub
Published: November 2023

Kenya witnessed the failure of several banks, such as Imperial Bank and Dubai Bank. The study examined the influence of debt restructuring strategy implementation on the performance of selected commercial banks in Kisumu, Kenya. The research was based on risk management theory. The research design used in this study was a descriptive survey. Kisumu City was chosen because it is one of the fastest-growing cities in Kenya, as it is endowed with natural resources and robust industries centered around the processing of agricultural products, whose contribution to the national economy is immense, making it an epicenter for business in East Africa. The research used 34 operational banks in Kisumu City as the target population for a five-year period from 2017 to 2021. The respondents consisted of 102 managers from the selected banks who were chosen via the purposive sampling method. To collect primary data, structured questionnaires were used. Both descriptive (frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation and hierarchical regression analysis at a significance level of 0.05) were employed to analyze the quantitative data. Findings indicated that debtors are free to take out new loans in order to minimize their overall interest burden and that loan maturities may be extended in order to cut monthly payments. The study established that debt restructuring strategies had a significant positive effect on performance, with a correlation coefficient of 0.633 and an R2 of 0.401. Loan researchers concluded that loaning is considered the main bank operation, with over 70% of bank revenue emanating from loaning activities. The study recommended that commercial bank management should control the volume of credit and incorporate the collection strategy into its credit policy.
On the conditioning of some structured generalized eigenvalue problems
Authors: Cuyt Annie , Flamand Naomi , Knaepkens Ferre
Published: November 2023

This work continues the analysis of the conditioning of a Hankel structured generalized eigenvalue problem (GEP) started in [1]. The considered generalized eigenvalue problem appears in exponential analysis and sparse interpolation.

We generalize the proof in [1] and add expressions for the relative condition numbers of two reformulations of the GEP, a reformulation as a Loewner GEP valid for general complex data, and a compression to a Hankel+Toeplitz GEP in the case of real data. Both reformulations are compared to the original Hankel GEP. The analysis is concluded with ample numerical illustrations.
Towering Fractals
Authors: Joby Johan , Jeffrey David , Corless Robert
Published: November 2023

An exponential tower is obtained by repeatedly raising a number to itself, as in xˣ, x^{x^x}, and so on. When formulated as an iterative process, it may converge to a single value, diverge to infinity, cycle between multiple values, or wander forever. Representing this property graphically leads to a beautiful fractal object. In order to plot the fractal, a method was devised to handle problems of numerical overflow and underflow that appear during the computation.

Eğitsel Süreçlerdeki Ortak Platformlarda Etkileşimli Bireysel Değerlendirme ile Sanal Ortamlarda Akademik ve Kültürel Hareketlilik
Authors: Bayrak Hüseyin
Published: November 2023

Abstract The number of common platforms in educational processes is increasing rapidly every day. In addition, the development of the quality and quality of these platforms makes the accessibility to the platforms attractive. In this context, virtual environment-supported technologies have now become indispensable elements of education and training, such as students' and teachers' course materials, in the sense of educational technologies Decoupling. By transferring the prepared courses and exams to this interactive environment, a multi-faceted and timely effective learning environment has been created. Performance evaluation is becoming increasingly important in learning within the framework of today's educational technologies. The learned knowledge should be transferred elsewhere and should be protected and reinforced. Thus, three basic educational elements such as material, interaction and evaluation emerge. Among the main objectives of distance education for effective teaching and training is the integration of different technologies. Dec. In doing so, students should be provided with education without space and time limitations and should not be deprived of interaction with the participant-teacher and other students. As many methods as possible that can meet the student's learning style and needs should be used. In this context, some basic features that should be in distance education have gained importance. Among these features, examples can be given such as the fact that the material to be used is easy to use, academically respectable, and has an interesting and satisfying content for a certain group of students. Dec. In educational methods, knowledge is the most important output of the learning process. The use, storage and most importantly testing of this product, which can also be seen as a surplus value, can take place in multiple interactive environments thanks to information and communication technologies. In addition to the concepts of distance learning and education, the concept of measuring and evaluating what is learned remotely is also gaining validity. Virtual environments where individuals participating in the learning action can test their knowledge after the learning process are becoming widespread. In contrast to traditional measurement and evaluation, measurement and evaluation performed in a virtual environment offers individuals the opportunity to be criticized less, to learn more autonomy, self-confidence and repetition while creating social and environmental pressure.

W artykule przedstawiono okoliczności dotyczące genezy pierwszej samodzielnej organizacji kościelnej na ziemi Polan. Podkreślono w nim, że akt erekcyjny biskupstwa poznańskiego nadał Jordanowi kanonicznie nienaruszalny status biskupa diecezjalnego a zarazem sufragana papieskiego wobec braku metropolii na ziemiach polskich. Kanonicznie erygowane biskupstwo-diecezja, stanowiło dostateczne zabezpieczenie niezależności kościelnej od obcego metropolity, nawet w wypadku popadnięcia Polski w zależność polityczną od cesarza Ottona I.

A Survey to Assess Patients’ Satisfaction After Complete Denture Rehabilitation in Lenora Institute of Dental Sciences, Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh
Authors: Begum Md. Zabirunnisa , Bopanna B. Naveen , Anvesh G.
Published: November 2023

Introduction: Edentulism is a devastating and irreversible condition and is described as the “final marker of disease burden for oral health”. Teeth loss effects mastication, speech, and may result in poor esthetics which in turn affect the quality of life. As Successful rehabilitation with a complete denture does not only depend on factors altered by dentist and lab fabrication, patient-dependent factors are also a major concern.
Aim: To assess patients’ satisfaction after complete denture rehabilitation.
Objectives: To evaluate the satisfactory parameters of patient and assess the patient’s priority during denture delivery.
Methodology: A cross sectional study was conducted on eighty geriatric patients who have received full mouth rehabilitation- complete removable dentures and have visited for follow up and maintenance were included. Patients who were suffering from systemic medical conditions and not willing to participate are excluded. A structured questionnaire was designed to rate the status of denture satisfactory parameters using five-point Likert’s scale. Data was analyzed by using SPSS software v.29.0. The independent t-test was employed to compare denture satisfactory parameters with age, gender and duration of denture usage. The p ≤ 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.
Results: The present study shows there is 68% of overall patient satisfaction. after denture rehabilitation. It was found that pain while wearing new denture and swallowing difficulty have gradually decreased with the duration (p= 0.000 and p= 0.008 respectively). 65% of the subjects felt slight difficulty in articulation and 47.5% of the subjects confronted discomfort like clicking dentures in the beginning which gradually reduced with duration ((p=0.000; p= 0.117 respectively).

Authors: Chaudhari Bhumika R. , M. Sutaria Jayshree
Published: November 2023

Background: Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy (DPN) is defined as the presence of symptoms and/or signs of peripheral nerve dysfunction in patients with diabetes after other aetiologies have been excluded. They experience muscle weakness, decreased balance, coordination, gait control, loss of ankle reflexes, and therefore have the probable risk of falling.
Aim: To assess the effectiveness of functional balance training on balance and risk of fall in diabetic peripheral neuropathy.
Methodology: A total of 50 patients were recruited and randomly divided into two groups. Group A (Functional Balance Training + Conventional Physiotherapy) and Group B (Conventional Physiotherapy). They received treatment for 6 consecutive weeks; 4 sessions per week. Outcome measures were the Functional Reach Test (FRT) to assess balance and the Fall Efficacy Scale-International (FES-I) to assess risk of falls. Both were measured before and after 6 weeks of intervention. Data analysis was done by using SPSS version 16.
Result: Within-group analysis showed statistically significant results in Group A as well as in Group B for both FRT and FES-I scores (p<0.05). Between-group analysis showed a statistically significant difference between both the groups (p<0.05); as the mean difference of Group A was higher, it signified that there was a statistically significant improvement in balance and reduction in risk of fall in Group A compared to Group B.
Conclusion: Functional Balance Training along with Conventional Physiotherapy is effective in improving balance and reducing the risk of falls in Diabetic Neuropathy.

Key words: Diabetic neuropathy, Functional balance training, Functional reach test, Fall Efficacy Scale-International.

Meanwhile, non-MSME credit is an incumbent main market share banking which possibly makes it a complementary or substitution in P2P lending in non-MSME bank credit. Furthermore, optimizing and maintaining liquidity is important due to banks utilizing intermediation functions. The strictness of bank liquidity could determine the management’s response and policy in determining the best timing to utilize either the FinTech from the P2P platform or the customer’s existing funds first. This study aims to assess the empirical findings of the effect of P2P lending on banking credit that is divided between provinces with strict, normal, and lax liquidity. This study uses data from 33 provinces in Indonesia between January 2022 to December 2022. The study approach uses a regression data panel for the data analysis. The results of this study show that P2P lending positively and significantly impacts bank credits of non-MSMEs in provinces with lax bank liquidity. The stricter the banking the lower the compliments of P2P loans against the bank credits of non-MSME. To the author’s knowledge, no existing studies investigate the P2P lending of non-MSME banking credit that also consider the level of strictness of banking liquidity.
