Authors: Khullar Dinesh , Singh Narinder Pal , Gupta Anish
Published: July 2024

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) represents a public health crisis globally. New therapeutic horizons in CKD management encompass a diverse array of options for a more holistic and personalised approach. Sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors exhibit promising results in preserving kidney function and mitigating cardiovascular risks in patients with or without diabetes. Non-steroidal selective Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists (MRA) present targeted strategies for CKD management. Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists offer innovative approaches for glycaemic control and complication reduction. Endothelin Receptor Antagonists contribute to CKD care by modulating endothelial function and reducing kidney damage. Aldosterone synthase inhibitors offer a unique angle, targeting aldosterone production to manage CKD-related complications. Additionally, hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF) inhibitors represent a cutting-edge therapeutic class, addressing the hypoxic conditions associated with kidney damage. This diverse range of advancements underscores a transformative shift towards more personalised and effective CKD treatments, providing newfound optimism for improved patient outcomes. Beyond providing evidence-based insights into recent therapeutic advancements in CKD, this review also delineates contemporary treatment guidelines for CKD. It underscores the imperative for holistic strategies to enhance outcomes for individuals grappling with this complex condition.

Chylothorax is a rare and serious complication of thoracic surgeries. Although most cases occur immediately post-operatively, late-onset chylothorax is rare and there is a lack of definitive consensus on its management. In this report, we describe a case of chylothorax that occurred several years after thoracic surgery which was treated successfully with a combination of conservative measures, including octreotide and lymphangiography and review current management strategies.
PROBLEMS OF IMPLEMENTATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING IN THE 1970–1980-S (ON THE EXAMPLE OF WATER RESOURCES IN THE NORTH OF WESTERN SIBERIA)
Authors: АШИХИНА Д.С.
Published: July 2024

С 1976 г. мероприятия по охране природы включались в план народного хозяйства СССР. Экологическим планированием занимался отдел Охраны природы при Гос- плане СССР. Экологическое планирование осуществлялось на основании статисти- ческой отчетности, подаваемой предприятиями. Однако, несмотря на ежегодное увеличе- ние бюджетных ассигнований, направляемых на нужды охраны природы, экологическая ситуация практически не улучшалась, что особенно заметно на примере водных ресурсов Севера Западной Сибири: концентрации вредных веществ в местных водоемах превышали нормативы в десятки раз. Цель статьи — анализ проблем, решаемых СССР в 1970–1980‑х гг. при проведении эколо- гического планирования в рамках охраны водных ресурсов Севера Западной Сибири. Материалы и методы исследования — анализ монографий и публикаций в научных сбор- никах 1970–1980‑х гг., а также архивных документов, входящих в состав фондов Государ- ственного архива Российской Федерации, Российского государственного архива экономики. Проблема советского экологического планирования заключалась в нарушении логи- ки планирования, которое осуществлялось «сверху», в невозможности в короткие сроки обеспечить все предприятия очистными сооружениями, в завышенных нормативах и ма- нипуляции со статистикой. Однако существование в СССР экологического планирования свидетельствует о признании государством экологических проблем и нацеленности на их решение.

Environmental protection measures have been included in the national economic plan of the USSR since 1976. Environmental planning was carried out by the Nature Conservation Department of the USSR State Planning Committee. Environmental planning was carried out on the basis of statistical reporting submitted by enterprises However, despite the annual increase in budget allocations allocated for environmental protection needs, the environmental situation has practically not improved. This is especially noticeable in the example of the water resources of the North of Western Siberia: the concentrations of harmful substances in local water bodies exceeded the standards tens of times. The purpose of the article is to analyze the problems solved by the USSR in the 1970–1980s. when carrying out environmental planning within the framework of protecting water resources in the North of Western Siberia. Materials and methods of research — analysis of monographs and publications in scientific collections of the 1970–1980s, as well as archival documents included in the funds of the State Archive of the Russian Federation, the Russian State Archive of Economics. The problem of Soviet environmental planning was a violation of the logic of planning, which was carried out “from above”, the inability to quickly provide all enterprises with treatment facilities, inflated standards and manipulation of statistics. However, the existence of environmental planning in the USSR indicates that the state recognizes environmental problems and is committed to solving them.

Los efectos que conllevan las herramientas de lucha contra el cambio climático hacen insoslayable apostar por una transición equitativa hacia economías verdes, lo cual exige integrar los objetivos climáticos con políticas sociales y económicas destinadas a reducir la vulnerabilidad, apoyar a los afectados por el cambio climático y crear empleos dignos. Por tal razón, la transición justa pretendida ha de tutelar la innovación de las distintas actividades, poner en valor aquellas ocupaciones calificadas como esenciales asociadas a los empleos denominados verdes y apostar por la inversión en la reconversión organizativa de los ámbitos funcionales clásicos. Bajo tales premisas, una transición hacia la economía verde constituye una oportunidad no sólo para introducir cambios en los procesos productivos de las industrias más tradicionales capaces de mejorar la competitividad empresarial y las posibilidades de negocio, sino para la creación de nuevos puestos de trabajo en ámbitos emergentes sostenibles desde el punto de vista de la neutralidad climática.

Published: July 2024

Morosi Village located in Konawe Regency is one of the areas in which there is a nickel processing company. The nickel processing produces solid waste, one of which is nickel slag. The amount of nickel slag is accumulating day by day, because each process of refining one ton of nickel product produces 50 times the solid waste, equivalent to 50 tons. So that from the results of quite a lot of waste, research was carried out to use solid waste as a concrete forming material, either as coarse and fine aggregate, or as a cement mixture.
Government Regulation No. 101 of 2014 classifies nickel slag as B3 waste hazard category 2 with waste code B403. This means that nickel slag is a waste that has a delayed effect, and has an indirect impact on humans and the environment. Meanwhile, at the end of 2019, the Indonesian National Standard (SNI) concerning the choice of nickel slag material from electric furnaces. This SNI was also prepared by the Ministry of Industry to support the development of nickel slag standards and as a solution for nickel slag management. The existence of SNI is also intended as a reference to optimize the use of nickel slag as aggregate, substitute for natural aggregate and other uses.
Some examples of products made from nickel slag include bricks, precast and ready-to-print concrete, road base and field, soil improvers, growing media and fertilizers, mortar and cement slag, composite portland cement, and cement geopolymers. To accommodate the use of nickel slag, assistance is needed to the community, especially in Morosi Village to be able to process with appropriate, effective and efficient technology in accordance with its physical characteristics and chemical characteristics. This will be an alternative to reduce the amount of nickel slag that can pollute the environment, in addition to increasing people's income.

Superhydrophobic surfaces that mimic lotus leaf surfaces have been widely studied due to their unique self-cleaning ability. Herein, we have fabricated a self-cleaning superhydrophobic coating on a glass substrate using the facile sol-gel spray coating method. The silica particles were synthesized via the sol-gel method in acidic conditions. A self-cleaning superhydrophobic coating was achieved by spraying a suspension of synthesized SiO2 particles and PDMS on a glass substrate at room temperature. The incorporation of SiO2 particles in the PDMS matrix resulted in the formation of a rough structure on the glass surface. This surface exhibited excellent superhydrophobic properties with a high water contact angle (WCA) of 154° and a low sliding angle (SA) of 4°. In addition, the prepared samples showed strong mechanical resistance against various tests such as multiple adhesive tape peeling, sandpaper abrasion, and pencil hardness. As a result, the developed superhydrophobic coating holds great potential for self-cleaning applications on a larger scale.

This study presents the synthesis and electrochemical evaluation of MOF-derived CoFe2O4 nanoparticles anchored on carbon nanofibers (CoFe2O4@CNFs) for supercapacitor applications. By integrating hydrothermal and electrospinning techniques, we successfully fabricated CoFe2O4@CNFs with enhanced supercapacitive properties. The electrochemical performance of CoFe2O4@CNFs was rigorously assessed, revealing a remarkable specific capacitance of 527 F/g at a current density of 1 A/g. Additionally, the electrode demonstrated a power density of 234.93 W/kg and an energy density of 16.58 Wh/kg. These results highlight the synergistic effect of combining MOF-derived bimetallic transition metal oxides with carbon nanofibers, underscoring their potential in advancing supercapacitor technology. The findings suggest that CoFe2O4@CNFs can serve as a promising candidate for high-performance energy storage applications, offering a viable pathway to enhance the efficiency and capacity of supercapacitors.

The remarkable mechanical and chemical characteristics of graphene have garnered significant interest in scientific investigations aimed at addressing severe environmental problems and energy shortages. A concerning problem is the careless disposal of industrial wastes that contain a variety of organic contaminants in water bodies. In order to create the ADGCAAQ light harvesting photocatalyst, a simple and extremely effective condensation process involving 1, 4-diamino anthraquinone (AAQ) and graphene generated from aloe vera (ADG) has been urbanized. Several approaches are used to analyze the newly constructed photocatalyst, indicating that it has the requisite potential to degrade 4-nitrophenol. By analyzing the degradation rate and order reaction of the degradation process, the kinetics of the degradation route have been used to analyze the mechanistic pathway for the degradation of 4-nitrophenol using a reducing agent and the ADGCAAQ photocatalyst. Under outside solar spectrum conditions, the photocatalytic activity of ADGCAAQ photocatalyst tested with 4-nitrophenol shows significant degradation efficiency with reducing agent H2O2.

Bi-metallic oxide photo-nanocatalysts are being explored extensively for removal of organic and inorganic pollutants like dyes and pesticides in an environmental benign and sustainable manner. The problems associated with the existing catalyst, are their high band gap values and large particle sizes. In this review, the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants from industrial waste water by using negligible amount of bi-metallic oxide photo-nanocatalysts has been covered as a solution of such types of problems. The photocatalytic activity of the nanocomposites was reported to be affected by main components that include the particle size, nature of crystallinity, band gap, morphology and surface area of the photocatalysts. Despite various required optimizations, the bi-metallic oxide nanocomposites like Cu/ZnO, Zn/CuO, Cu/NiO and Zn/NiO synthesized by using different methods have been shown to act as better photocatalysts as compared to others. This review article may open a new avenue to control the industrial waste water pollution in efficient and cost-effective way.

The fabrication and characterization of a high-performance, robust, and highly sensitive sensor based on a single polypyrrole nanowire (sPpy NW) decorated with cobalt oxide nanoparticles (CoOxNPs) for the selective recognition of lead (Pb2+) and cadmium (Cd2+) in potable water are described in this paper. The electrodeposition technique was used to prepare the sPpyNW/CoOxNPs assembly, and square wave anodic stripping voltammetry (SW-ASV) was used to assess sensor performance. Optimizing sensor performance, such as deposition time, deposition potential, and supporting electrolyte, was used to assess for best sensor performance. The developed sensor exhibited excellent linearity and the linear range for the detection of individual Cd2+ and Pb2+ ions was determined to be 0.00 to 0.11 μM and 0.00 to 0.12 μM, respectively. The detection limits observed for both Pb2+ and Cd2+ sensors are 0.22 μM (R2 = 0.9520) and 0.013 μM (R2 = 0.9723), respectively. The linear range for the detection of Pb2+ and Cd2+ sensors present in the same sample was determined to be 0.00 to 0.09 μM, with a detection limit of 0.026 μM (R2 = 0.8726) and 0.013 μM (R2 = 0.9468) for Pb2+ and Cd2+, respectively. The observed results revealed that the functionalization of CoOxNPs on the surface of a sPpyNW electrode seems to be a very effective way of developing a sensitive, selective, and stable electrochemical sensor for Pb2+ and Cd2+ions.
THE INCIDENCE OF SAFETY REGULATION ON COVID-19 COMPENSATION CLAIMS
Authors: Jalan Pranay
Published: July 2024

The Employees’ Compensation Act, 1923, (Act), is the first piece of social security legislation towards providing for speedier, simpler, cheaper and efficient machinery for the determination and payment of compensation to the workmen. The Act is modelled on the premise of a no fault liability principle, and a liability for payment of compensation under the Act does not accrue due to any fault or wrong doing on the part of an employer. Rather, the compensation is contingent on an employee (victim) showing that an injury arose out of and in course of the employment or in certain occupational diseases there exists a rebuttable presumption that the injury arose out of and in course of the employment.

ANOTHER PRISONERS’ DILEMMA: VOTING RIGHTS OF THE INCARCERATED
Authors: Gangwar Shivangi
Published: July 2024

Prisoner rights usually take one’s attention towards the field of criminal law, constitutional law and human rights. Add voting rights to the mixture, and the result invariably falls in the exclusive domain of human rights, and thus by natural implication, constitutional law. Law and economics is an emerging field of analysis in India, and the purpose of this Short Note is to use this specific lens to analyse the question of voting rights of prisoners. While the author has undertaken a limited analysis of constitutional court decisions from other countries, the scope of this Short Note is limited to the Indian policy of disenfranchisement of detainees.
EXAMINING THE POTENTIAL TAX IMPLICATIONS OF TRANSACTIONS IN DIGITAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

Published: July 2024

The contemporary digital aeon envelops numerous potential tax implications which may have an effective reverberation on the economy. The biggest ventures like Google and Facebook are fetching their greatest revenues by online advertisements and tapping the personal interests of the potential buyers. Similarly, companies have also begun investing in advertisement through influencer marketing, wherein, they tap their potential customers’ social media preferences and accordingly reach out to the content creators who then advertise their products through processes like product reviews and various creative content. Needless to say, there is a high scope of tax revenues from these advertisements because of the amount that is involved in the process of advertising of products and services.
AVAILABILITY HEURISTICS AND INSIGHTS FOR CORRUPTION
Authors: Pratap Aniruddha
Published: July 2024

The most influencing insight which economic analysis of law provides is that human actors respond to incentives. This insight has two implications; first, law can be employed as an apparatus to bring in socially desirable behaviour as well as to discourage socially undesirable behaviour. In other words, law can be used as tool by policy makers to subsidize socially desirable behaviour and tax undesirable behaviour1 . Secondly, law can be used from the perspective of efficiency and distributive concerns i.e. it can be used as a device to encourage or discourage the production of social resources as well as a tool for efficient allocation of such social resources. To exhibit in a coherent manner the repercussions of the incentives on people in a legal system the analysts borrowed from economics the ‘rational choice theory’ which focuses on assumptions relating to how human actors respond to incentives. These assumptions were then applied to the domain of law to understand how law as a tool can be used in incentivising and de-incentivising certain behaviour. Thus, these incentive effects of legal rules were studied and analyzed in designing an efficient legal policy to attain desired social behaviour. The underlying conception of the rational choice theory as pointed out by Richard Posner is that “man is a rational maximizer of his ends”2 the adherents of ‘utility maximization version’ of rational choice theory take the above conception a bit further as according to them:
ECONOMICS OF JUVENILE DELINQUENCY IN INDIA: EXAMINING THE CONTEMPORARY ISSUES WITH THE JUVENILE JUSTICE ACT 2015
Authors: Agarwal Pranay
Published: July 2024

The problem of high Juvenile delinquency has been a problem in India for a long time. The problem consequently led to the development of various laws and justice mechanisms to deal with the problem. The aim was to prevent the rising delinquency across the country through the reformatory approach and the subsequent incorporation of the infrastructure. However, the laws were mostly seen from the eyes of either a sociologist or a child rights’ activist, which led to sacrificing of economic efficiency of the laws. Instead of concentrating on providing economic efficiency to India's juvenile justice system, the Juvenile Justice Act of 2015 and its subsequent Amendment in 2021 delivered a big breakthrough by focusing on bringing economic efficiency to the juvenile justice system. This essay attempts to analyze the problem of high juvenile delinquency in India through the Economic lens and has tried to provide reasons for such phenomenon. In furtherance of its objective, the essay also analyzes the economic efficiency of the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015 in controlling the delinquency and provides much useful insights and recommendations to achieve an optimal solution.
THE RATIONALE BEHIND CHOOSING ARBITRATION OVER LITIGATION: A LAW & ECONOMICS PERSPECTIVE
Authors: Badoni Priyansha , Rahman Dr. Faizanur
Published: July 2024

In the contemporary globalised economy, popularity of arbitration as a dispute resolution method has amplified. It has many advantageous features such as expertise of arbitrator, speedy procedure, party autonomy, confidential proceedings, which lack in litigation, thereby making arbitration the preferred mode of dispute resolution. The growth of arbitration is also credited to its stakeholders, namely the arbitrator(s) and the parties. The stakeholders take part in arbitration to derive maximum utility for themselves. They make decisions in the process which are backed by economic considerations. Cost and incentives become the major determinants, guiding their rationale supporting ‘the choice of arbitration’. This paper studies the mechanism of arbitration through Law and Economics lens. It is divided into five parts. Part I introduces the theme and builds up conceptual framework for the ideas presented. Part II explores the incentives available to the parties to choose arbitration over litigation. Part III discusses the incentives available to arbitrator, which encourages them to constantly work on their skill to remain relevant in the highly competitive market of arbitration. This part also makes comparison between the incentives available to judges of traditional court with that of arbitrators. Part IV examines the social costs of arbitration and determines whether arbitral award is a public good or a private good. Part V concludes the paper by outlining the key findings of this study.
IMPLICATIONS OF UNITED STATES STEEL TARIFFS ON INDIAN STEEL IMPORT PATTERNS: A CASE OF INDIA’S PREFERENTIAL TRADE AGREEMENTS AND INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAW
Authors: Hussain Z
Published: July 2024

The study has attempted to analyse the factors responsible for the surge in imports of steel products in India immediately after the implementation of tariffs on steel products by the United States under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962. To identify the factors, the study has mainly utilized Bilateral Revealed Comparative Advantage, Export Intensity Index, and SMART partial equilibrium modelling tool as methodology. The key finding of the study shows that India witnessed a sudden surge in imports post the implementation of these tariffs, specifically from its preferential trade partners. India’s preferential trade partners enjoy a significant comparative advantage in steel products and have a very high export intensity in India. These countries were also found to be having very high exports to production ratios. It was also revealed that due to the reduction of import tariffs by India, there will be a significant increase in the imports of steel products, not only due to trade creation but also due to significant trade diversion. The study also looked at the compatibility of these tariffs with the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT)/World Trade Organization (WTO) law and WTO rulings on these measures to suggest key trade policy measures that can be adopted by India to counter such situation in future. The study suggested two key policy measures that could be adopted by India in the future to tackle any such measures: one is the Auto-Trigger Safeguard Mechanism (ATSM) & the other is the imposition of Suo Motu safeguard measures on steel products.

Authors: Idris Adamu
Published: July 2024

As technology continues to expand in offices across the world, the role of office professional has greatly evolved. This paper will therefore be presenting current issues and best practices in the Secretarial Profession as office automation and organizational restructuring have led secretaries and administrative assistants to assume a wider range of new responsibilities once reserved for managerial and professional staff. Secretaries are aided in these tasks by a variety of office equipment, such as facsimile machines, computers, scanners, printers, photocopiers, and telephone systems. Best practice is required therefore to maintain quality as an alternative to mandatory Secretarial Profession standards and can be based on self-assessment or benchmarking.
