Some legal aspects of prosecutor’s participation in cases of administrative offences during application of coercive measures related to restriction of personal freedom of citizens
Authors: Kushnir Iryna , Adamchuk Serhii 
Published: December 2023

The article deals with the legal characteristics of the prosecutor’s participation in cases of administrative offences during the application of coercive measures related to the restriction of the personal freedom of citizens.
The legislation on administrative offences is analysed with relevant conclusions about those categories of cases, the consideration of which is impossible without the participation of a prosecutor.
The attention is focused on the fact that the departmental acts of the Office of the Prosecutor General of Ukraine provide for mandatory provision for the participation of prosecutors in cases of administrative offences if coercive measures related to the restriction of personal freedom of citizens are applied.
Parallels are drawn between the direct participation of a prosecutor in the consideration of cases of administrative offences and the prosecutor’s supervision of the relevant bodies that carry out the consideration of cases and apply coercive measures for administrative offences.
The authors of the article also draw attention to the fact that the prosecutor’s supervision of compliance with the laws in administrative offence cases can be divided into two categories:

Direct participation in the consideration of a case on the administrative offence;
Supervision over the relevant bodies that review cases and apply coercive measures for administrative

The authors differentiate coercive measures related to the restriction of personal freedom of citizens, which are used in cases of administrative offences. In particular:

The type of administrative sanction provided for in 24 of the Code of Ukraine on Administrative Offences (hereinafter – CUAO) [1, Art. 24] (for example, administrative arrest, arrest with military detention, forced (administrative) deportation outside Ukraine);
The measure to ensure proceedings in cases of administrative offences, provided for in Art. 260 CUAO [1, 260] (for example, administrative detention).

The article also draws attention to the conclusions of the European Court of Human Rights regarding the observance of the principle of impartiality in the absence of a prosecutor during proceedings in cases of administrative offences, etc.
Evidence and proving in constitutional proceedings: doctrinal aspects
Authors: Byelov Dmytro , Bіelova Miroslava 
Published: December 2023

It was noted that the realities of social life, the political situation, global processes of transformation of phenomena and processes require legal accuracy in understanding the fundamental prescriptions specified by the Constitution, as well as ensuring the compliance of legislation with its provisions. Regarding the first question, there are two ways of solving it: detailing the provisions, which to a certain extent creates bulky codified texts that are difficult to apply, or clear, comprehensive formulations of constitutional norms, which provide for the establishment of fundamental principles of the functioning of state power and society, without detailed extended texts. It was noted that the institution of judicial evidence in constitutional proceedings is not as carefully regulated as in proceedings in criminal, arbitration and civil cases.
It is indicated that the constitutional court process is a special environment that differs from other court processes existing in our country: in the field of activity, powers of judicial bodies, subjects, stages, legal force of decisions. Peculiarities of the environment where proof is carried out certainly give rise to specificity in the subject of proof, subjects, content and types of proof. This creates the need for more detailed regulation of proof and evidence in constitutional proceedings. In our opinion, proof is a type of cognitive process that is carried out in the order established by law and covers the activities of subjects involved in constitutional proceedings. And therefore, evidence in constitutional proceedings is a type of knowledge that is carried out in the order established by law and covers the activities of the subjects involved in constitutional proceedings, at the same time it represents a combination of both cognitive and procedural activities. The cognitive component characterizes the process of cognition, and the procedural component characterizes the special form that cognition takes within the framework of the rules of constitutional justice. At the same time, the construction of the subject of proof in constitutional proceedings follows (corresponds) to the construction of the subject of proof adopted in national law. However, we draw your attention, it would be worthwhile to normalize the specificity of the subject of proof in constitutional proceedings as a process aimed at solving legal issues.
Administrative justice in Ukraine: basic principles and peculiarities of implementation in Ukraine under martial law
Authors: Bratasyuk Oksana 
Published: December 2023

The author defines the essence and features of administrative justice as a legal institution. Emphasizes the importance of administrative proceedings in Ukraine and its distinction from other types of proceedings. It is emphasized that the main value in the activity of judges in Ukraine is the person, because the most important thing is that everyone can exercise their constitutional right to an independent and fair court to protect basic rights, freedoms and interests. Courts of administrative jurisdiction are bodies that are called to ensure the protection of human rights in interaction with the state, as well as to control the legality of the exercise of the powers granted to them by state authorities and officials. In the author’s opinion, a court that makes high- quality decisions within a reasonable time, which are implemented, is effective. Under these conditions, we can talk about the reality of the protection of human rights and freedoms in the state, and therefore it is through the implementation of decisions that we can assess their quality.
Despite the war with Russia, the difficult economic and energy situation, Ukraine still took several qualitatively new steps that will help people better protect their rights in public and legal relations and are aimed at the effectiveness of administrative justice as a whole.

La experiencia estética como propedéutica a la experiencia de Dios
Authors: Beroch Maria Aracoeli 
Published: December 2023

En distintas obras de Edith Stein se encuentran alusiones y algunas reflexiones sobre el ámbito estético, generalmente integradas en otros temas. Este ámbito implica para Stein las nociones de arte, artista, lo bello y sus características, indicaciones sobre las reacciones del espectador ante objetos bellos y/o artísticos y, en fin, Dios como belleza y autor de lo bello en la creación. Se evidencia que en el pensamiento de Stein la estética no implica sólo la reflexión sobre el objeto bello (natural o manufactura humana) sino también el punto de vista del sujeto que se relaciona con la belleza.
El artículo se propone, en un primer momento, reconstruir lo que Stein entiende por experiencia estética a partir de distintas pistas textuales y testimonios personales de la pensadora alemana. La noción de experiencia no es unívoca y esto se refleja también al aplicar la noción a este ámbito de estudio. En un segundo momento, sobre todo a partir de los escritos steinianos de la etapa del período cristiano, se presentan algunos textos donde se verifica que la experiencia estética abre paso a lo ético y sobre todo a lo religioso, permitiendo así una experiencia de Dios.

Authors: Yadav Aneeta , Quatadah Syed Mohd , Praween Nagmi 
Published: December 2023

Increased temperature is a major yield declining factor in wheat production. Current study was intended to evaluate the impact of increased temperature on the pre and post reproductive major yield attributing biometrical traits through the use of stress tolerance indices and trait reduction ratio (%) of all the traits studied. A set of 27 genotypes including 2 check entries viz., Shriram 303 and HD 2967 was evaluated in two separate trials, timely sown (non-stress) and late sown (heat stress) conditions in RBD design with three replications during rabi 2020-21 at the agriculture research farm of Rama university, Kanpur. Significant dropping in major yield attributing traits have Such as grain yield/plant, grain yield/spike and tillers/plant exhibited 54.41%, 39.31 % and 34.22% reduction, respectively thought the estimation of trait reduction ration (%) specially for the trials conducted under the late sown (heat stress) condition as compared to the normal sown trial. Five stress tolerance indices viz., susceptibility index (HSI), mean productivity (MP), tolerance (TOL), heat tolerance index (STI) and trait stability index (TSI) have been estimated to find out the heat stress tolerance and susceptible genotypes for grain yield under high temperature stress conditions.
Correlation estimates of different heat stress tolerance indices with grain yield in non-stress condition (timely sown) exhibited significant positive association with MP (0.766**), HTI (0.622**), TSI (0.414*), and TOL (0.284). Though, under heat stress condition (late sown), grain yield displayed a significant positive correlation with HTI (0.713**), MP (0.707**), TOL (0.517**), TSI (0.656**) and negative correlation with HSI (-0.608**). Through the correlation analysis estimates, four heat stress indices viz. HSI (heat susceptibility index), MP (mean productivity), STI (stress tolerance index) and TSI (trait stability index) have been used in assorting the heat tolerant wheat genotypes. Current estimates directed that 14 genotypes (PBW 152, HUW-206, WL-2, WL-8, WL-13, DBW-71, DBW-39, WH-1105, HUW-318, PBW-154, ALWL-5, WL-14, PBW-502 and Shriram 303) were heat tolerant genotypes while 8 genotypes (Jamuni, F 2004, Allahabad Local, Black, U. P Local, YOUDA, U. P B2425 and HD 2967) have been observed high temperature susceptible. While WH-1105 and PBW-154 have been observed high yielding genotypes under heat stress environment. Therefore, genotypes WH-1105 and PBW-154 were acknowledged as a suitable genotype for late sown trial. Further, these two genotypes could be utilize in breeding programme to develope heat tolerant varieties of wheat.

AbstractIn nature, some organisms survive extreme environments by inducing a biostatic state wherein cellular contents are effectively vitrified. Recently, a synthetic biostatic state in mammalian cells is achieved via intracellular network formation using bio‐orthogonal strain‐promoted azide‐alkyne cycloaddition (SPAAC) reactions between functionalized poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) macromers. In this work, the effects of intracellular network formation on a 3D epithelial MCF10A spheroid model are explored. Macromer‐transfected cells are encapsulated in Matrigel, and spheroid area is reduced by ≈50% compared to controls. The intracellular hydrogel network increases the quiescent cell population, as indicated by increased p21 expression. Additionally, bioenergetics (ATP/ADP ratio) and functional metabolic rates are reduced. To enable reversibility of the biostasis effect, a photosensitive nitrobenzyl‐containing macromer is incorporated into the PEG network, allowing for light‐induced degradation. Following light exposure, cell state, and proliferation return to control levels, while SPAAC‐treated spheroids without light exposure (i.e., containing intact intracellular networks) remain smaller and less proliferative through this same period. These results demonstrate that photodegradable intracellular hydrogels can induce a reversible slow‐growing state in 3D spheroid culture.

AbstractInjectable hydrogels offer minimally‐invasive treatment options for degenerative disc disease, a prevalent condition affecting millions annually. Many hydrogels explored for intervertebral disc (IVD) repair suffer from weak mechanical integrity, migration issues, and expulsion. To overcome these limitations, an injectable and radiopaque hyaluronic acid granular hydrogel is developed. The granular structure provides easy injectability and low extrusion forces, while the radiopacity enables direct visualization during injection into the disc and non‐invasive monitoring after injection. The radiopaque granular hydrogel is injected into rabbit disc explants to investigate restoration of healthy disc mechanics following needle puncture injury ex vivo and then delivered in a minimally‐invasive manner into the intradiscal space in a clinically‐relevant in vivo large animal goat model of IVD degeneration initiated through degradation by chondroitinase. The radiopaque granular hydrogel successfully halted loss of disc height due to degeneration. Further, the hydrogel not only enhanced proteoglycan content and reduced collagen content in the nucleus pulposus (NP) region compared to degenerative discs, but also helped to maintain the structural integrity of the disc and promote healthy segregation of the NP and annulus fibrosus regions. Overall, this study demonstrates the great potential of an injectable radiopaque granular hydrogel for treatment of degenerative disc disease.

Published: December 2023

AbstractPD‐1/PD‐L1 blockade immunotherapy has gained approval for the treatment of a diverse range of tumors; however, its efficacy is constrained by the insufficient infiltration of T lymphocytes into the tumor microenvironment, resulting in suboptimal patient responses. Here, a pioneering immunotherapy ferritin nanodrug delivery system denoted as ITFn‐Pt(IV) is introduced. This system orchestrates a synergistic fusion of PD‐L1 blockade, chemotherapy, and T‐cell activation, aiming to augment the efficacy of tumor immunotherapy. Leveraging genetic engineering approach and temperature‐regulated channel‐based drug loading techniques, the architecture of this intelligent responsive system is refined. It is adept at facilitating the precise release of T‐cell activating peptide Tα1 in the tumor milieu, leading to an elevation in T‐cell proliferation and activation. The integration of PD‐L1 nanobody KN035 ensures targeted engagement with tumor cells and mediates the intracellular delivery of the encapsulated Pt(IV) drugs, culminating in immunogenic cell death and the subsequent dendritic cell maturation. Employing esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) as tumor model, the potent antitumor efficacy of ITFn‐Pt(IV) is elucidated, underscored by augmented T‐cell infiltration devoid of systemic adverse effects. These findings accentuate the potential of ITFn‐Pt(IV) for ESCC treatment and its applicability to other malignancies resistant to established PD‐1/PD‐L1 blockade therapies.

AbstractGlobal demand for corn (Zea mays L.) is increasing, and it remains one of the most consumed crops by both humans and animals due to its high calorie content. However, corn grain quality research is sparse and often focused only on a few selected influencing factors. Therefore, two side‐by‐side studies (Addition and Deletion) were conducted in 2020 and 2021 in Mississippi to assess the grain composition including protein, starch, oil, and moisture of corn under several management practices. A randomized complete block design was implemented in both experiments involving a complete factorial of three factors including two plant populations (32,000 and 40,000 seed acre−1), two‐row configurations (single and twin), and six combinations of nutrients plus fungicide application (NF). The trials differed based on the manner of NF applications. In the trial termed Addition, all NF treatments were added incrementally, whereas in the Deletion trial they were withheld in a stepwise manner. Conditional inference tree analysis was conducted to examine interaction effects among the three factors over 3 site‐years. Corn protein content ranged between 8.2% and 9.8% across all years and locations. All three factors and certain interactions significantly influenced both protein and starch content. Specifically, single row planting, 40,000 seeds acre−1, and higher rates of N resulted in higher protein content. Contrarily, the starch content was positively influenced by twin row, 32,000 seeds acre−1 and only N application. Single row configuration resulted in higher oil than twin rows. This study determined that different management factors have the potential to positively influence protein, starch, and oil. These management strategies could extend farmers profitability and provide superior products for industrial purposes with additional implications for livestock feed supplements.

Published: December 2023

AbstractBackgroundOpioid‐induced constipation (OIC) is a well‐known phenomenon, although there is limited literature evaluating the incidence of OIC in children admitted to the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). The primary aim of this study was to determine the incidence of OIC in the PICU and to determine if it is associated with a higher rate of morbidities or prolonged length of stay (LOS).MethodsWe conducted a single‐center retrospective chart review from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2015, in our PICU. We included all patients aged ≤18 years with a PICU stay of ≥96 h who received opioids during their admission. Data were collected on the frequency of bowel movements and characteristics of opioid administration. Demographic and clinical data were obtained from Virtual Pediatric Systems, LLC.ResultsOf the 94 patients who met the study criteria, 39.4% developed constipation. These patients tended to be older (P = 0.06) and were noted to weigh more (P = 0.03). There was no significant difference in the total or median daily doses, duration of opioid treatment, or mode of administration. Constipation rates did not differ by the severity of illness. There was a higher incidence of constipation in the patients who were admitted for neurological issues or after trauma or abdominal surgery (P = 0.002). Patients with constipation had a longer LOS than patients without constipation, but the difference was not statistically significant.ConclusionThese results indicate that opioid use is not the sole risk factor for constipation in the PICU setting.

Published: December 2023

AbstractBackgroundCentral venous catheter (CVC) complications are frequently reported in patients receiving home parenteral support (HPS). Compromised CVC integrity or breakage is one such issue. Repairing such breakages can potentially avoid costly and risky catheter replacements.MethodsWe completed a retrospective descriptive cohort study using a prospectively maintained data set, in a national UK intestinal failure reference center. Repair success, CVC longevity, and catheter‐related bloodstream infection (CRBSI) rates after repair were the primary outcome measures.ResultsA total of 763 patients received HPS. There were 137 CVC repairs: 115 (84%) tunneled CVCs and 22 peripherally inserted central catheters (PICCs) attempted in 72 patients. Of the 137 attempts at CVC repair, 120 (88%) were deemed to be successful, allowing a median duration of subsequent CVC use of 336 days following repair (range 3–1696 days), which equates to 99,602 catheter days of HPS infusion. Three patients had a CRBSI within 90 days of repair, and patients required admission to the hospital for refeeding on 14 occasions following repair, such that hospitalization was avoided in 103/120 (86%) occasions following successful CVC repair. There was no increase in the recorded rate of CRBSIs in patients undergoing CVC repair compared with the CRBSI rates of all HPS‐dependent patients under our care during the study period (0.03 vs 0.344/1000 catheter days, respectively).ConclusionThis is the largest single‐center experience to demonstrate that CVCs, including PICCs, used for the administration of HPS can be safely repaired, prolonging CVC longevity without leading to an increased risk of CRBSI.
