Perspective Chapter: Upholding of Human Rights and Freedoms in the Imposition of Criminal Liability for Persistent Disobedience to the Demands of the Penal Institution’s Administration
Authors: Knyzhenko Oksana , Knyzhenko Svitlana 
Published: March 2024

The authors explore the historical development of provisions pertaining to criminal liability for persistent disobedience to the demands of the penal institution’s administration in Ukraine. The chapter critically analyses the provisions existing in national criminal law in this domain and provides recommendations for its enhancement. The authors analyse the practical application of criminal liability for this offense, outlining typical methods of committing such crimes, perpetrator personality, crime circumstances, and trace patterns. Examining the forensic features of such crimes, the authors identify conditions contributing to persistent disobedience. Building on this analysis, the authors present their perspective on resolving issues related to the need of clearly defining the persistent disobedience criteria and improving criminal correctional legislation through the prism of upholding human rights and freedoms. The chapter also delves into the tactical aspects of investigating this crime category. It has been demonstrated that the current provision in criminal law, establishing liability for persistent disobedience to the demands of the penal institution’s administration, does not adhere to the principle of legal certainty, thereby hindering the realization of the rights and freedoms of a convicted individual. The authors contend that the forensic characterization of these crimes and the description of their investigation process already highlight several factors that infringe upon human rights and freedoms. Typical forms of persistent disobedience include refusal to work and violation of daily routines. These crimes often occur blatantly, leaving typical traces such as: (1) witness testimonies from fellow convicts and penitentiary institution staff and (2) documents typically drawn up by penitentiary institution staff. Reports regarding these crimes typically originate from penitentiary institution representatives, with suspects predominantly interrogated on the penitentiary institution’s premises.
Targeting Inhibitor of Enterococcus faecalis: Insights from Comparative Molecular Dynamics and Binding Free Energy Analyses
Authors: A. Elrashedy Ahmed 
Published: March 2024

For the past 50 years, antibiotics that target DNA gyrase have proven to be clinically successful. As a result, the search for novel gyrase inhibitors has intensified due to the rise in bacterial resistance. Since it is absent in eukaryotes yet essential in all bacteria, anti-bacterials target it aggressively. Although quinolones are a clinically approved medication, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria are developing resistance to them, which compromises their therapeutic efficacy. Thus, it is vital to identify novel compounds that can efficiently inhibit DNA gyrase. A recent experimental study shows that the R-enantiomer of compound 1 was likely to be a more favourable stereoisomer than the R-enantiomer in inhibiting the function of DNA gyrase. However, the molecular mechanisms of its selectivity and inhibition remain elusive. To gain insight into the observed inhibitory effect, molecular dynamics simulations have been employed to investigate the inhibitory mechanism as well as selectivity effect. MD simulation revealed that R-enantiomer selectively targeted the ATP-binding pocket residues, with the 2,4 di chloro carbazole ring’s group interacting into the small hydrophobic pocket provided by Asp 25, arg 26, Ile 182, Val 233, Arg 284, and Ala 286 in DNA gyrase. Finding the residues in the catalytic-binding site may pave the way for the development of a new structure-based inhibitor of highly selective DNA gyrase for the treatment of Enterococcus faecalis infection.

Published: March 2024

The medicinal property of Phyllanthus amarus (P. amarus) has been well appreciated and well documented in Indian system of traditional medicines namely Ayurvedic, Siddha and Unani. P. amarus has been long used to treat various ailments, however its mechanism of action is still obscure because of the lack of scientific proofs to support its medical benefits. The current study was performed to elucidate the immune modulation properties of P. amarus by measuring free radical scavenging ability, nitric oxide stimulation potential and LTB4 production. Aqueous extracts of P. amarus (100 µg/ml) had quenched the free radicals by 81.4 ± 1.1 % of activity followed by 76.1 ± 2.4 % quenching by methanolic extract. Aqueous extract of P. amarus (100 µg/ml) produced a profound NO to a tune of 580 ± 10 µMol. Methanolic extract produced 530 ± 17.3 µMol of NO. There was an increase of NO with aqueous extract in comparison to methanolic extract however these data are not statistically significant (p> 0.05). LTB4 production with 100 µg/ml concentration of aqueous extract was 103 ± 6.2 pg/ml and it was 113.2 ± 7.8 with methanolic extract.

Published: March 2024

An experiment was conducted during Kharif, 2018 to evaluate the mean performance and to find out the nature and extent of genetic variability among eight inbreds of parthenocarpic gynoecious cucumber genotypes under naturally ventilated polyhouse situated at polyhouse complex of department of Horticulture (Vegetable and Floriculture), BAU, Sabour, Bhagalpur, Bihar of Eastern India. The experiment was laid out in randomized block design with three replications. Data were taken on six competitive plants for 13 growth and yield attributing traits, including total soluble solids (TSS) and per cent disease index for downy mildew (PDI). Among eight cucumber inbreds, BRPCU-1 showed earliness in respect of days to first female flower, node to first female flower and days to first fruit harvest, and disease tolerance to downy mildew. However, inbreds BRPCU-3, BRPCU-5 and BRPCU-7 were high yielders in fruits per plant and yield per plant. Non-additive gene effects were manifested for most of the earliness, while additive gene effect was observed for yield and fruits per plant.

Published: March 2024

Early blight and Alternaria leaf spot are among the major diseases limiting productivity of tomatoes. Evolvement of pathogen into resistance form and detrimental effect of fungicides have spawned efforts to develop management strategies that are economic and environmentally friendly. Salicylic acid is a natural plant hormone known to induce plant defense against various biotic and abiotic stresses. Therefore, the main focus of this study was to evaluate the role of salicylic acid on tomato crop against Alternaria spp infection. A range of salicylic acid concentrations (1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 mM) and distilled water (control) were laid in a randomized complete block design. Peroxidase (POD), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL) and polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzyme activities were recorded from one to four weeks after inoculation with virulent Alternaria spp spores. The results showed that plants treated with 2.5 mM responded rapidly and significantly showed higher induction of POD, PAL and PPO enzyme activities. Plants sprayed with salicylic acid at 3 mM showed phytotoxic symptoms and reduced enzyme activity was recorded. In addition, foliar application of salicylic acid at 2.5 mM significantly (p<0.001) reduced disease severity (25.5 %) compared to plants treated with distilled water (85.46 % disease severity). These results showed that 2.5 mM of salicylic acid is safe and can be used in inducing tomato plant disease resistance.

Determination of the Percentage of Patients Using Warfarin to Reach Target INR
Authors: Keskin Zekeriya , Gedikli Mustafa Asım 
Published: March 2024

Warfarin is the most commonly used oral anticoagulant in the treatment and prophylaxis of thromboembolic diseases. In order to prevent thrombosis and to avoid hemorrhagic complications, the patient's INR is kept within a certain range according to the indication and monitored at certain intervals. Our aim in our study is to determine the percentage of patients using warfarin for various indications reaching target INR values.
Patients who used warfarin for various indications at our hospital's Internal Medicine outpatient clinic between May 2023 and November 2023 were included in our study, and their INR results were recorded by retrospectively scanning them.
A study group was formed with a total of 130 patients. Patients using warfarin due to metallic heart valve replacement, AF, PTE and CVD were evaluated separately according to the target INR value. The percentage of patients with metallic heart valve replacement reaching the target INR value of 2.5-3.5 was calculated as 38.5% (n: 27). The percentages of patients with AF, PTE and CVD reaching their target INR values of 2-3 were calculated as 40% (n:16), 54% (n:7), 70% (n:5), respectively. Considering the entire study group, the percentage of reaching the target INR was calculated as 42% (n: 55).
As a result, warfarin not being within the therapeutic range causes serious morbidity and mortality. In our study, the percentage of patients reaching the target INR was found to be 42%. This percentage is very low, and in order to increase this rate, it is necessary to increase patient awareness, increase the frequency of follow-up of patients and develop more effective follow-up strategies.
Our experience with emergency surgery in geriatric patients.
Authors: Soylu Sinan 
Published: March 2024

Aim: A significant portion of admissions to emergency departments are made up of elderly patients. We aim to determine the causes of acute abdomen in geriatric patients requiring emergency surgery, evaluate postoperative intensive care needs and mortality rates, and raise awareness about this patient group.
Method: Patient files of individuals aged 65 and older who were consulted in our hospital's emergency department and subsequently admitted to the general surgery service between 2021 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed. Data including age, gender, underlying diseases, additional illnesses, duration of stay in the intensive care unit, cause of mortality, and length of hospital stay were extracted from the patient's records. The collected data were analyzed statistically for comparisons.
Results: Data of 27 patients were accessed.these patients, 40.7% (n=11) were female, and 59.3% (n=16) were male. The average age of the patients was determined to be 74.81 years (ranging from 65 to 88). Thirteen patients, comprising 5 males and 8 females, were monitored in the intensive care unit. 6 patients experienced mortality, and all of them were those admitted to the intensive care unit. When comparing mortality rates based on gender, it was 18.8% in male patients and 27.3% in female patients. All 27 patients had at least one comorbidity . Patients who experienced mortality had at least two comorbidities. Twelve patients did not undergo surgery.
Conclisions: In the emergency assessment of geriatric patients, a prompt diagnosis should be made, considering comorbidities after diagnosis, and follow-up and treatments should be adjusted multidisciplinary for patients requiring intensive care or those to be monitored in regular rooms.

Published: August 2007

AbstractBackgroundEmployer administrative files are an underutilized source of data in epidemiologic studies of occupational injuries.MethodsPersonnel files, occupational health surveillance data, industrial hygiene data, and a real‐time incident and injury management system from a large multi‐site aluminum manufacturer were linked deterministically. An ecological‐level measure of physical job demand was also linked. This method successfully created a database containing over 100 variables for 9,101 hourly employees from eight geographically dispersed U.S. plants.ResultsBetween 2002 and 2004, there were 3,563 traumatic injuries to 2,495 employees. The most common injuries were sprain/strains (32%), contusions (24%), and lacerations (14%). A multivariable logistic regression model revealed that physical job demand was the strongest predictor of injury risk, in a dose dependent fashion. Other strong predictors of injury included female gender, young age, short company tenure and short time on current job.ConclusionsEmployer administrative files are a useful source of data, as they permit the exploration of risk factors and potential confounders that are not included in many population‐based surveys. The ability to link employer administrative files with injury surveillance data is a valuable analysis strategy for comprehensively studying workplace injuries, identifying salient risk factors, and targeting workforce populations disproportionately affected.

The influence of coping styles and perceived control on emotional distress in persons at risk for a hereditary heart disease
Authors: Hoedemaekers Elly , Jaspers Jan P.C. , Van Tintelen J. Peter 
Published: August 2007

AbstractThis prospective study investigates the influence of two coping styles (monitoring and blunting) and perceived control (health locus of control and mastery) on emotional distress in persons at risk of a hereditary cardiac disease. Emotional distress in people at risk for a hereditary cardiac disease does not differ from the normal population, neither before nor after disclosure of the DNA‐or clinical test results. Less monitoring reflects less emotional distress before the results of the DNA‐test or clinical investigations are known, while a stronger feeling of mastery reflects less emotional distress both before and after the results of the tests are known. These results indicate that the negative effect of monitoring is temporary. Mastery is a more powerful predictor than health locus of control in this situation. © 2007 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
