Ethics in medicine: Challenges in the 21st century
Authors: Körtner Ulrich H.J. 
Published: March 2023

The article provides an overview of important topics in contemporary medical ethics. Methodologically, it is a literature review. The article addresses only a limited selection of the problematic areas, which are, however, related to each other: digitisation of medicine, genome editing, personalised medicine as well as ethical problems and dilemmas of allocation in healthcare. The global COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as a focus and trigger. Reflections on human rights and justice in medicine are fundamental not only on the individual and social level but also on a global scale. The fundamental question is how society as a whole can be involved in the complex biopolitical and bioethical debate. The social and cultural consequences of life increasingly being understood as a technical product rather than a gift are serious.Contribution: The article also reflects on the specific contribution that Christian theology, and in particular the reformed heritage, can make to bioethical debates in modern society. The distinction between instrumental knowledge [Verfügungswissen] and orientational knowledge [Orientierungswissen] is helpful for its better understanding. A crucial result of this article is that medical treatment is repeatedly faced with ethical dilemmas. Moreover, medical progress not only creates new and better solutions to medical problems, it also raises new ethical questions that did not exist before. The purpose of medical ethics lies in identifying such dilemmas and developing ethical decision-making processes that help us to deal with such dilemmas to some extent.
Role of faith-based organisations and individuals in provision of health services in Zimbabwe
Authors: Musekiwa Ivy , Musekiwa Norbert 
Published: March 2023

This article reflects on the increasing roles of faith-based organisations (FBOs) and individual followers in the provision of health services in Zimbabwe within the context of declining capabilities of state-funded and state-owned health facilities. In colonial and post-colonial Africa in general and Zimbabwe in particular, FBOs have consistently contributed to the provision of public services and social security. We contend that state fragilities in the Zimbabwean political landscape result in severe public service delivery deficits that are often filled by FBOs and individual followers. The implications for FBOs and individual followers are twofold. Firstly, the increased involvement of FBOs in the production and provision of public services such as education and health services afford FBOs with opportunities and spaces to evangelise. Secondly, and on the downward side, the provision of health services can often be expensive and diverts attention from the core business of these religious organisations. The article reveals that in the context of economic and governance crises, FBOs play an increasingly momentous role in providing health care services in Zimbabwe. The article focuses on Zimbabwe during the crisis periods of 2007–2009 and 2018 up to the current (2022) socio-economic and political declines, poor governance, and the subsequent fragilities in the state.Contribution: Faith-based organisations assume increasing roles in the provision of health services in place of failing states. Those increased roles provide FBOs opportunities to evangelise. However, FBOs are not a sustainable replacement because they become afflicted with the same financial challenges that bedevil the state.
COVID-19 Lockdown containment measures and women’s sexual and reproductive health in Zimbabwe
Authors: Hlatywayo Anniegrace M. 
Published: March 2023

The devastating COVID-19 pandemic and its accompanying containment measures brought exceptional challenges to the health delivery system, and in particular, women’s sexual and reproductive healthcare (hereafter referred to as SRH). The re-routing of health resources and funding to mitigate the effects of the pandemic obstructed the provision of essential SRH services for women and girls. Coupled with the incessant socio-cultural and patriarchal norms and gender inequalities, the COVID-19 pandemic aggravated the pre-existing SRH disproportions already affecting women. By adopting a qualitative approach and drawing on the experiences of women from three high density suburbs in Harare. Firstly, the study sought to explore the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on SRH for women and girls. Secondly, the research sought to determine key drivers that affect women’s SRH in the context of COVID-19. Participant responses indicated that the COVID-19 lockdown containment measures which confined spouses to the home setting for prolonged periods of time, which is in contrast to the norm, exposed women to SRH related challenges. Participants cited that (i) bruised male ego due to lack of employment as a result of downscaling of companies resulting from COVID-19 containment measures resulted in men asserting their masculinities through heightened sexual intercourse, (ii) restraint of movement resulted in limited time for men to visit their small houses and side-chicks or side dish (euphemisms for illicit sexual relations) therefore resulting in frequent and unprotected sex with their spouses, giving rise to unplanned pregnancies and increased exposure to STIs due to limited access to SRH services and, (iii) increased intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexual abuse. Therefore, the research sought to explore the response of religious leaders and faith-based actors to providing psycho-social support and safe spaces as ways of addressing intersectional injustices giving rise to SRH challenges for women and girls.Contribution: The intersecting crises of the COVID-19 pandemic have extensively hindered progress towards the promotion of women’s SRH. Relating to sustainable development goal 3 (SDG3), the article acknowledges the trust and respect of religious leaders within communities as change agents who can encourage shifts in behaviour, beliefs and practices in ways that promote holistic SRH for women.
Integrating professional counselling during marriage counselling within neo-Pentecostalism
Authors: Kgatle Mookgo S. , Spaumer Andrew 
Published: March 2023

It is argued here that most couples in neo-Pentecostalism tend to consult their pastors when encountering various challenges in their marriages as opposed to professional counselling. Some would, however, opt for consulting professional counsellors as a last resort to save their marriages. The marriage counselling offered by pastors has proven to be effective in some instances, but it has some shortcomings in others. This kind of counselling is often conducted by untrained pastors who are not able to do a proper diagnosis of the problems and to offer proper solutions. In addition, previous studies demonstrate that some Pentecostal pastors have abused their congregants during such counselling. In this article, the integration of professional counselling is proposed as a complementary approach to the counselling offered by Pentecostal pastors. This will be achieved by reviewing the literature on counselling offered by pastors and its successes and failures. The integration of professional counselling with the counselling conducted by Pentecostal pastors will be discussed using the integrated approach as a theoretical framework.Contribution: This article makes a valuable contribution to the ongoing discourses on the abuse of religion among neo-Pentecostal churches by proposing an integration of professional counselling. This type of counselling is important for the ethical conduct of Pentecostal pastors as counsellors, correct diagnosis of problems, and providing an accurate solution.
Primary diffuse leptomeningeal primitive neuroectodermal tumor presenting as chronic meningitis
Authors: Koshy KG , Kulkarni GB , Nandeesh BN , Taalapalli AV. 
Published: March 2023

ABSTRACT
Primary diffuse leptomeningeal primitive neuroectodermal tumor is a rare meningeal neoplasm which can masquerade as chronic meningitis. While the clinical presentation and radiological features may provide a clue to this condition, meningeal biopsy is essential to clinch the diagnosis. A high index of suspicion and a low threshold for re-evaluating cases of neuroinfection that do not respond to empirical therapy are essential in this scenario. We present the case of a nine year old boy who was initiated on antituberculous treatment for chronic meningitis with hydrocephalus. Meningeal biopsy revealed a primary diffuse leptomeningeal primitive neuroectodermal tumor.
Quantum rebound attacks on reduced‐round ARIA‐based hash functions
Authors: Baek Seungjun , Kim Jongsung 
Published: March 2023

AbstractARIA is a block cipher proposed by Kwon et al. at ICISC 2003 that is widely used as the national standard block cipher in the Republic of Korea. Herein, we identify some flaws in the quantum rebound attack on seven‐round ARIA‐DM proposed by Dou et al. and reveal that the limit of this attack is up to five rounds. Our revised attack applies to not only ARIA‐DM but also ARIA‐MMO and ARIA‐MP among the PGV models, and it is valid for all ARIA key lengths. Furthermore, we present dedicated quantum rebound attacks on seven‐round ARIA‐Hirose and ARIA‐MJH for the first time. These attacks are only valid for the 256‐bit key length of ARIA because they are constructed using the degrees of freedom in the key schedule. All our attacks are faster than the generic quantum attack in the cost metric of the time–space tradeoff.

Yogurt is an ancient food that has been a part of the human diet for thousands of years and has been promoted as a healthy diet. Yogurt is milk that has been fermented and is made by adding two specific bacterial cultures to warm milk, namely Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophiles. Yogurt is considered as a cure for diarrhoea, stomach ailments, and irritating skin condition, as well as fungal and yeast infections, and used in some bronchial conditions. High levels of live bacterial cultures in Yogurt contribute to its nutritional and therapeutic properties. The use of different fruits and additives in fruit Yogurt production has improved its nutritional and sensory properties. Citrullus lanatus (Watermelon) is a tropical fruit that contains a variety of nutrients, including fibre, vitamins-A, vitamin B1 and B6, potassium, iodine, magnesium, zinc, and antioxidants which are essential for human health. The addition of watermelon in any commercial product enhances the taste, flavour, and nutrient quality. The objective of the study are: To develop Yogurt incorporated with watermelon fruit pulp and its extract; To perform sensory analysis of Yogurt incorporated with watermelon fruit pulp and its extract; To analyse the nutrient composition, phytonutrient composition and antioxidant activity of the Yogurt incorporated with watermelon fruit pulp and its extract; To calculate cost of the developed Yogurt incorporated watermelon fruit pulp and its extract. The developed watermelon fruit pulp and it extract incorporated yogurt were subjected to sensory evaluation for the overall acceptability with the help of a 5-point hedonic scale with 10 semi- trained members. Which was very well accepted. The nutritional analysis was carried out for protein, fat, iron, calcium, and vitamin C content and was found to be high in watermelon pulp and extract incorporated Yogurt. Thus, watermelon fruit pulp and extract incorporated Yogurt has the potential to be used as a dietary supplement to prevent and control the onset of the degenerative disease among the population.

Strength of excitation and insomnia as mediated by mood dimensions
Authors: Oniszczenko Włodzimierz , Oszast Magdalena 
Published: March 2023

BackgroundThe main goal of our study was to demonstrate the relationship between the strength of excitation (SE) as one of the basic central nervous system (CNS) properties and insomnia, and to determine the role of the mood components as mediators of this relationship. We hypothesized that SE directly and indirectly via arousal-related mood dimensions may be related to insomnia.Participants and procedureThe study involved 149 people, 85 women and 64 men, aged 18 to 60 (M = 30.11, SD = 11.43) selected from the general pop-ulation using snowball sampling. The basic properties of the CNS were diagnosed using Pavlovian Temperament Survey. Mood was assessed using the Polish adaptation of UWIST Mood Adjective Checklist. To evaluate insomnia symptoms Ath-ens Insomnia Scale in its Polish adaptation was used.ResultsSE negatively correlated with insomnia (no significant correlations between strength of inhibition and mobility and insom-nia). All CNS properties positively correlated with hedonic tone (HT) and energetic arousal (EA), and negatively with tense arousal (TA) as mood dimensions. HT and EA were negatively correlated with insomnia but TA positively correlated with insomnia. Both EA and TA served as mediators in the relationship between SE and insomnia.ConclusionsThe results indicated the relationship between SE and insomnia as well as between SE and EA and TA as mood dimensions related to arousal. Mediation analysis suggests that both EA and TA may serve as mediators of the relationship between SE and insomnia. However, the results of the mediation analysis require careful interpretation.

IMPACT OF CONCENTRATED OWNERSHIP ON INTANGIBLE EXPENSES: EXPLOITATION EFFICIENCY, POLITICAL COSTS
Authors: Thamir Salih Edan  
Published: March 2023

The study aims to test Impact of Concentrated Ownership in spending on service expenses (Intangible Expenses), by testing the strength and direction of the relationship and testing the size of Impact of Concentrated Ownership in spending on service expenses in terms of exploitation efficiency and political costs for a sample of banks listed in the Iraqi Stock Exchange (the regular market amounted to (16) banks for the period (2016-2020). One of the most important conclusions reached by the study: With every increase in the percentage of Ownership by Blockholders, spending on service expenses rises without this spending being matched by achieving any returns that are reflected in the form of profits or gains, which is an indication of the inefficiency of exploiting the banks’ resources or that the expenditure of these resources is done for personal gain away from the interests of the non-controlling shareholders, or this spending may be considered an indication of avoiding political costs.

Zaniklá středověká osada Pfaffenschlag byla založena ve 13. století na místě staršího osídlení. V 50. a 60. letech 20. století zde proběhl výzkum a vedle šestnácti domů byly odkryty i hospodářské objekty a dvory, které nám spolu s domem dávají představu o vzhledu a složení středověké zemědělské usedlosti. Areál osady Pfaffenschlag se rozprostírá na ploše několika hektarů (2,2ha). Zmapování reliktů, terénu či snímek leteckého laserového skenování dobře ukazuje strukturu návsi, jednotlivých usedlostí, zahrad i navazující plužiny. Pro lepší názornost a "třetí rozměr" stojících budov se zpracoval digitální model, vycházející i z hmotové rekonstrukce dr. V. Nekudy. Vznikla počítačová rekonstrukce jak celého areálu s navazujícími plužinami, tak vytvoření podoby usedlosti I.

INFLUENCES OF RANGE AND INCIDENCE ANGLE ON MEASUREMENTS OF A FULL-WAVEFORM TERRESTRIAL LASER SCANNER VZ - 400
Authors: Kučerová Eva 
Published: March 2023

Full-waveform terrestrial laser scanning is a recent technology which is able to digitize and record the complete waveform of the backscattered echo. It gives additional information about the structure and physical backscattering properties of the illuminated surface (reflectance and geometry). Some authors focus on the data quality of a terrestrial laser scanner. Some of them are interested in the influence of the materials on the measurements of a full-waveform terrestrial laser scanner. Most of them are interested in the geometrical accuracy of the scanner (errors of instrumental axis, range accuracy using target, etc.). The aim of this article is to find out the influences of target geometry on the measurement of the full waveform terrestrial laser scanner VZ – 400. The emphasis was put on the influence of range to target and incidence angle.
