The Swiss Association as a Legal Wrapper for a Global DAO and vis-à-vis the MiCA Regime
The article explores the utilization of decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and the legal framework of Swiss associations as a possible legal wrapper – particularly for globally operating DAOs. All against the backdrop of a steadily growing regulation to the likes of the EU’s MiCA framework.The discussion encompasses the essential characteristics of DAOs, emphasizing their decentralized nature, shared purpose, autonomy, and predefined rules.The article highlights the legal complexities around DAOs. Considering many DAOs operating without a deliberately chosen legal structure, the argument is made that even though DAOs might be set up with the idea to not be regulated at law, the contrary might be the case. Legal concepts to the effect of ‘joint ventures’ or ‘simple partnership’ may lead to the inadvertent formation of legal entities. Thus, legal risks may very likely loom over participants of DAOs whether they may desire that outcome or not.The article emphasizes liability as a driving force behind the need of a quest for legal wrappers. To mitigate unintended liabilities, selected solutions are being proposed. The text discusses further benefits of a legal wrapper. The argument is made that DAOs should deliberately chose a legal wrapper mirroring their nature and fitting their needs.The discussion then turns to the Swiss association as an attractive choice for globally operating DAOs. The autonomy granted to Swiss associations under Swiss Law providing for freedom, self-governance, and flexibility mirror the nature of a DAO. The features of the Swiss association and its benefits as a legal wrapper for DAOs are then being scrutinized. The text posits the establishment of a Swiss association as a solution to limit liability for DAOs participants. Ultimately, the Swiss association is presented as a wrapper offering not only liability protection but also additional benefits for DAOs, which are further explored.

Published: May 2024

Objective: To determine the reference interval of placental growth factor in healthy non-pregnant and pregnant females.
Material and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Chughtai Institute of Pathology Chemical pathology department from January 2023-May 2023. Reference individuals were selected by purposive, non-probability sampling technique from 130 diseased free non-pregnant and 130 disease free pregnant females. Informed consent was obtained from females of reproductive age group who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. Levels for PGF was measured by a fully automated immunoassay analyser Elecsys system Cobas e601. Data was analyzed by using SPSS21. Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was applied. P value <0.05 was considered significant. The 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles were calculated at 90% CI by using the formula 0.025x(n+1) at rank number 1 and 0.975x(n+1) at rank number 7.
Results: Reference intervals were calculated by Rank-based method. Data values were arranged and rank numbers were allocated. Reference interval of PGF in non-pregnant and pregnant females were determine on the basis of 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles was 3.8 to 12.7 pg/mL and 46.43 to 1148 pg/mL respectively.
Conclusion: Current study findings add on contribution in comparison between reference interval of PGF in healthy non-pregnant and pregnant females. It will subsequently help the gynaecologist, clinicians, pathologist to interpret the results in order to decrease the feto/maternal complications related to pre-eclampsia. PGF levels can be cost effective by reducing unnecessary hospitalization and investigations in females at minimal risk of pre-eclampsia.

Published: May 2024

Field work in the Kibira National Park (Burundi), located in the Kivu-Ruwenzori system of the Afromontane Region, revealed the existence of a new species clearly belonging to the Argocoffeopsis-Calycosiphonia clade (Coffeeae, Rubiaceae). The species shows striking heterophylly: the plagiotropous branches have several nodes bearing reduced or even scaly leaves. For the rest, it shares characters with Calycosiphonia and Kupeantha. Therefore, a morphological comparison with the clade is done, as well as molecular phylogenetic analyses. The morphology of the novelty is closer to Kupeantha than to Calycosiphonia, inter alia because the anthers have no transverse septa, in contrast to the multilocellate anthers of Calycosiphonia. However, the molecular data advocate for a position in Calycosiphonia – a result weakening the morphological distinction between Calycosiphonia and Kupeantha. The former genus is no longer restricted to species with transverse septa in the anthers and with placental outgrowths around the seed. The new species is formally described as Calycosiphonia albertina Ntore & Robbr. sp. nov. Nomenclaturally, this placement is also the most conservative option. A taxonomic treatment, illustrations, a geographical distribution map, and a preliminary conservation assessment are provided. The previous inclusion of Calycosiphonia pentamera in Kupeantha based on morphology is here corroborated by molecular analyses.
The Importance of The Role of The Community in Amdal For The Goal of Environmentally Sound Sustainable Development
Authors: Subekti Sri

The State of Indonesia could be a nation that, in its improvement, puts forward the concept of good and solid natural perspectives recorded within the Structure Article 28H passage (1) and Article 33 passage (4) of the 1945 Structure. In this manner, Indonesia's natural administration and protection concept must have a Allow. Amdal. One of the things within the Work Creation Law No. 11 of 2020 that raises a problem is the expulsion of the article with respect to the commitment for an Natural Allow; within the Work Creation Law, Natural Grants are not entirely directed. In any case, to get a business allow, the candidate must get a choice with respect to natural feasibility. The substance of the Natural Allow contained within the UUPPLH has been changed to gotten to be an natural assention within the Work Creation Law. The issues contained in this article examine natural things contained within the Work Creation Law, look at issues of natural authorizing related to human rights, and give recommendations for advancements with respect to the environment within the Work Creation Law based on MK Choice No. 91/PUU-XVIII/2020, with the comes about of the trial uncovering the truth that the arrangement of the Work Creation Law did not give space for open cooperation. Indeed in spite of the fact that the Work Creation Law remains conditionally valid, if within 2 a long time the Work Creation Law does not make enhancements, the Work Creation Law will be declared unconstitutional. So, the modification of the Work Creation Law after the Sacred Court's choice with respect to the environment must organize human rights and maintainable improvement that's ecologically sound, especially by obliging environmental permit obligations in the form of an Amdal.

Published: May 2024

Background: Physical inactivity has become a global crisis and is adversely impacting the health of our world. Being physically active, even at a minimal level, can positively change physical and mental health. As little as ten minutes a day can result in significant health improvements, such as a decrease in blood glucose levels. Description: Service-learning courses are a way to provide students with job-related training as college credit and offer a needed service of safe physical activity to members of the local community. Learning Outcomes: Student participants learn from teaching exercise, building programs, and implementing a training program for the college employees. Significance and Impact: Physical inactivity is a global health crisis. The lack of activity is causing major health concerns as well as death. This is a call to action to expand healthy activity to the general population using trained student leaders. Teaching Notes: The case includes links to various documents to guide instructors to take advantage of a similar activity.
The Brilliance, Attitude, Leadership and Materials (BALM) framework of clinical excellence: an adoptable model for sub-Saharan Africa
Authors: Azeez Taoreed 
Published: May 2024

Clinical excellence is the ability to provide rigorous, evidence-based, and rewarding care to the right patients. The BALM (brilliance, attitude, leadership, and materials) framework is a novel model for adjudicating clinical excellence. There are a few models and frameworks for evaluating clinical excellence, but each has its flaws and does not consider the peculiarities of economically-challenged regions such as sub-Saharan Africa. Coincidentally, such low-resource areas have an urgent need for a framework to assess clinical excellence because of their low health-related indices. The five-step model of professional excellence is a well-recognised tool and was the model upon which the BALM framework was built. So, the BALM framework determines to what extent, using the five-step stages of novice, advanced beginner, competent, proficient, and expert, a clinician has achieved in each of the four critical domains, namely brilliance, attitude, leadership, and materials. Therefore, a clinician, who strives for excellence, aims to be an “expert” in each of the domains of the BALM framework. The framework is concise, practical, easy to use, and multidimensional, although it still needs to be applied widely to assess its reproducibility.

Katalytische metallorganische Reaktionen von Ammoniak
Authors: Klinkenberg Jessica L. , Hartwig John F. 
Published: September 2010

AbstractBis vor kurzem ging Ammoniak nur selten katalytische Transformationen in Gegenwart von Homogenkatalysatoren ein, und die Entwicklung derartiger Reaktionen, die unter milden Bedingungen selektiv nur ein Produkt ergeben, ist auf vielzählige Hindernisse gestoßen. Kürzlich entwickelte Katalysatoren ermöglichen es nun, über verschiedenartige Reaktionen Produkte mit stickstoffhaltigen funktionellen Gruppen aus Ammoniak herzustellen. Diese Reaktionen umfassen Hydroaminomethylierungen, reduktive Aminierungen, Alkylierungen, allylische Substitutionen, Hydroaminierungen und Kreuzkupplungen. Dieser Kurzaufsatz präsentiert Beispiele für solche Reaktionen ebenso wie die Faktoren, die die Katalysatoraktivität und ‐selektivität steuern.
Design of IMC filter for PID control strategy of open‐loop unstable processes with time delay
Authors: Shamsuzzoha M. , Skliar Mikhail , Lee Moonyong 
Published: September 2010

AbstractA modified internal model control (IMC) filter has been proposed for the open‐loop unstable process with time delay and a further IMC–proportional‐integral‐derivative (PID) tuning rule is derived on the basis of the proposed IMC filter. Investigation of the IMC filter structure clearly demonstrates that a critically damped filter does not always provide satisfactory response and that this is probably due to lack of sufficient integral action. The conventional, critically damped filter is therefore replaced with a more general, second‐order IMC filter for improved integral action. The present investigation shows that for the most unstable processes, the underdamped IMC filter provides the desired integral action and improves the closed‐loop performance of the system except for the unstable processes with a strong lead term. An exhaustive simulation studies has been performed to show the advantage of the proposed method in both nominal and robust cases. By incorporating Kharitonov's theorem, closed‐loop time constant (λ) guidelines have been provided for the first‐order delayed unstable process (FODUP).

Published: September 2010

AbstractGraft polymerization of vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) onto styrene‐butadiene rubber (SBR) was carried out in latex using benzoic peroxide (BPO) as an initiator. The concentration of VTES effecting on vulcanization characteristics, mechanical properties and thermal properties of VTES‐grafted SBR (SBR‐g‐VTES) were investigated. The grafting of VTES onto SBR and its pre‐crosslinking were confirmed by attenuated total teflectance‐Fourier transform infrared reflectance and proton nuclear magnetic resonance. The mechanism of graft polymerization was studied. The results revealed that the minimum torque, optimum cure time, tensile strength, thermal decomposition temperature, and glass transition temperature (Tg) all increased with the increasing concentration of VTES. But the grafting efficiency of VTES, rate of vulcanization, and elongation at break of the SBR‐g‐VTES decreased. © 2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci, 2011

Published: September 2010

AbstractThe effects of acrobatic exercise and magnetic stimulation (MS) in mice applied either separately or in combination while on recovery after spinal cord injury have been investigated. This progress has been compared in six groups of animals. The first two groups consisted of non‐injured and injured animals, respectively, which were not exposed to any treatment. The third group included injured animals that participated in an acrobatic exercise and were exposed to MS applied at the frequency of 1 Hz. The animals in the fourth group were exposed to the MS (1 Hz) only, without performing any acrobatic exercises. While the mice in the fifth group participated in the acrobatic exercise and were exposed to MS at 15 Hz, the animals in group six received an acrobatic exercise without exposure to MS. The effects of the treatment were evaluated with the Basso Mouse Scale, the Horizontal Ladder Scale, and the Abnormal Posture Scale. While all groups showed improvement at the end of the study period, the animals that received exercise combined with 1 Hz MS demonstrated the best functional improvement. The animals exposed to the MS applied at a frequency of 15 Hz combined with acrobatic exercise, and those animals that were engaged in exercise and were not exposed to the MS, performed the worst. The area of the spared white matter at the lesion center correlated well with functional recovery and was greatest in the animals that received MS (1 Hz) combined with exercise.

Internal pilots for observational studies
Authors: Gurka Matthew J. , Coffey Christopher S. , Gurka Kelly K. 
Published: September 2010

AbstractStudy planning often involves selecting an appropriate sample size. Power calculations require specifying an effect size and estimating “nuisance” parameters, e.g. the overall incidence of the outcome. For observational studies, an additional source of randomness must be estimated: the rate of the exposure. A poor estimate of any of these parameters will produce an erroneous sample size. Internal pilot (IP) designs reduce the risk of this error ‐ leading to better resource utilization ‐ by using revised estimates of the nuisance parameters at an interim stage to adjust the final sample size. In the clinical trials setting, where allocation to treatment groups is pre‐determined, IP designs have been shown to achieve the targeted power without introducing substantial inflation of the type I error rate. It has not been demonstrated whether the same general conclusions hold in observational studies, where exposure‐group membership cannot be controlled by the investigator. We extend the IP to observational settings. We demonstrate through simulations that implementing an IP, in which prevalence of the exposure can be re‐estimated at an interim stage, helps ensure optimal power for observational research with little inflation of the type I error associated with the final data analysis.
