An Appraisal of the Legal Framework and the Impact of Administrative Corruption on the Jordanian Economy: An Empirical Evidence
Authors: Al-Zu’bi Hadeel , Al-Tal Raad , Rubaiha Raed Abu 
Published: November 2022

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop an understanding of the legal framework for combatting administrative corruption in Jordan and its impact on the Jordanian economy. This paper seeks to answer its key-question which asks whether the existence of a robust legal framework for combatting administrative corruption is able to help to grease the wheels of a slow-moving economy. The study uses 2SLS econometric technique for estimating the relationship between administrative corruption and economic growth. This paper indicates one major conclusion which is the irrevocably annual loss of economic opportunities due to administrative corruption, subsequently, economic progress cannot be achieved without proper administration. The national strategy and the legal frameworks related to anti-corruption are not sufficient enough to grease the wheels for economic growth. Combatting corruption in Jordan is still facing legal and technical obstacles appeared in practice, therefore, more time to surround and prevent corruption is still needed.
Das Zylinder-Fragment Nr. 1+6, Gudeas Zylinder X und Ninĝirsus Heldentaten im Gebirge
Authors: Gabriel Gösta 
Published: November 2022

AbstractThis paper investigates the Lagash II cylinder fragment Nr. 1+6, whose physical join can be confirmed. A new edition of the joined fragment provides a more comprehensive understanding. Furthermore, the question is raised of whether this fragment might have belonged to the hypothesized Gudea Cylinder X. If this question could be answered in the affirmative, the fragment would point to the existence of a three-partite praise song (za₃-mim) addressing Ninĝirsu. However, also without such a connection the fragment allows for a more comprehensive understanding of Ninĝirsu’s adventures in the mountain lands.

Abstract
Developing efficient and robust electrocatalysts is increasingly essential for water splitting, severely hindered by the sluggish four-electron transfer process of oxygen evolution reaction (OER). Amorphous/crystalline heterophase engineering has recently emerged as a promising electronic modulation approach for OER catalysts but suffers from poor conductivity of the amorphous structure. Here, we coupled the amorphous/crystalline NiFe2O4 induced by vanadium doping with NiP heterojunction, highlighting the synergistic effect in modulating the electronic structures and the complementary effect in promoting conductivity. As a superior electrocatalyst to commercial RuO2, the as-prepared NFO-V0.3-P showed a low overpotential of 277 mV at the current density of 20 mA cm−2, a Tafel slope of 45 mV dec−1, and long-term stability. The excellent OER catalytic activity is attributed to the synergistic effect at the heterophase interface with rich active sites, fine-tuning of electronic regulation, and enhanced conductivity.

Abstract
Stable hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur (HCNOS) isotope compositions expressed as isotope-delta values are typically reported relative to international standards such as Vienna Standard Mean Ocean Water (VSMOW), Vienna Peedee belemnite (VPDB) or Vienna Cañon Diablo Troilite (VCDT). These international standards are chosen by convention and the calibration methods used to realise them in practice undergo occasional changes. To ensure longevity and reusability of published data, a comprehensive description of (1) analytical procedure, (2) traceability, (3) data processing, and (4) uncertainty evaluation is required. Following earlier International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry documents on terminology and notations, this paper proposes minimum requirements for publishing HCNOS stable-isotope delta results. Each of the requirements are presented with illustrative examples.

Published: November 2022

Objectives
High-dose glucocorticoids are associated with improved recovery of deficits in primary autoimmune hypophysitis (PAH), but optimal dosing, route, and duration are unclear.

Design
We reviewed literature for first-line glucocorticoid treatment in PAH until December 2021 and performed an individual patient data meta-analysis to analyze clinical, hormonal, and radiological outcomes with respect to route, dose, and duration (<6.5 vs 6.5–12 vs >12 weeks) of glucocorticoid treatment according to disease severity.

Results
A total of 153 PAH patients from 83 publications were included. The median age at presentation was 41 (32.5–48) years with a female preponderance (70.3%). Visual field recovery was significantly better with i.v. (91.7%) as compared to oral (54.5%) route and high dose (100%) and very high dose (90.9%) as compared to medium dose (20%) of glucocorticoids. Corticotroph axis recovery was greater in i.v. (54.8% vs 28.1% oral, P = 0.033) route and increasing glucocorticoid dose group (0% vs 38.1% vs 57.1%), attaining statistical significance (P = 0.012) with very high-dose. A longer duration of treatment (>6.5 weeks) was associated with better corticotroph and thyrotroph recovery. The need for rescue therapy was lower with i.v. route (38% vs 17.5%, P = 0.012) and with increasing glucocorticoid doses (53.3% vs 34.3% vs 17.3%, P = 0.016). In severe disease, visual field and corticotroph axis recovery were significantly higher with i.v. route and very high-dose steroids. The adverse effects of glucocorticoids were independent of dose and duration of treatment.

Conclusions
Very high-dose glucocorticoids by i.v. route and cumulative longer duration (>6.5 weeks) lead to better outcomes and could be considered as first-line treatment of severe PAH cases.
Control, discipline and punish? Addressing corruption in South Africa
Authors: Bruce David 
Published: November 2022

This article provides a ‘high level’ view of current debates about the causes of and remedies for corruption in South Africa, with a view to reflecting on how to address corruption. The article starts by providing an overview of the current integrity framework and initiatives to strengthen it within the domains of public administration and criminal justice. Alongside this, the article briefly reviews historical and sociological accounts of corruption in South Africa. This provides the basis for a discussion of the moral economy of corruption. Instead of focusing on questions of surveillance or deterrence, this strand of analysis implies that addressing corruption is not simply about addressing ‘moral deficits’ but engaging with questions about how to advance justice and fairness in South African society.
Interview with Judge Kate O'Regan
Authors: Van der Spuy Elrena 
Published: November 2022

In August 2012 Kate O'Regan, a former judge of the South African Constitutional Court, was appointed by the premier of the Western Cape to head the Commission of Inquiry into Allegations of Police Inefficiency and a Breakdown in Relations between SAPS and the Community in Khayelitsha. Two years later, on 25 August 2014, the commission submitted its final report and recommendations. In this exchange O'Regan reflects from the inside out on some aspects of the public inquiry into policing in Khayelitsha. Here one finds reference to judicial independence and organisational autonomy of commissions of inquiry; the value of comparative lesson drawing for process design; the importance of creating safe spaces for all participants; and honouring the contributions of participants. Policing, O'Regan concludes, is a truly challenging enterprise. Both political and police leadership carry a moral responsibility to engage systemic and other challenges as identified in both of the Marikana and Khayelitsha reports. Not to do so would imply the abdication of responsibility to address the safety and security concerns of South African citizens.

Published: November 2022

Рассмотрена возможность, необходимость и целесообразность создания в Российской Федерации Палаты по доменным спорам как квазисудебного органа в структуре Федеральной службы по интеллектуальной собственности (Роспатент). Предпринята попытка выявить основные преимущества деятельности Палаты по доменным спорам, определить полномочия Палаты при формировании системы разрешения споров в сфере доменных имен и установить принципы ее функционирования. Рассмотрен вопрос наличия или отсутствия противоречия деятельности Палаты по доменным спорам существующим нормативно-правовым актам.
Выдвинут тезис о том, что в условиях стремительного изменения законодательства Российской Федерации как в области интеллектуальной собственности и средств индивидуализации, так и в области регулирования деятельности по регистрации и использованию доменных имен учреждение Палаты по доменным спорам и установление обязательного порядка досудебного рассмотрения в ней доменных споров будут способствовать адекватной защите прав и законных интересов правообладателей средств индивидуализации и администраторов доменных имен, а также снижению нагрузки на российскую судебную систему.
ПРАВОВОЙ РЕЖИМ ВИРТУАЛЬНЫХ ОБЪЕКТОВ В ИНФОРМАЦИОННОЙ СРЕДЕ
Authors: ПАНИН Валерий Олегович 
Published: November 2022

Проанализирована существующая практика юридического оформления отношений между пользователями и правообладателями виртуальных миров. Доказано, что в современных условиях необходим пересмотр сложившихся подходов к регулированию отношений в рамках виртуальных платформ, в частности отказ от повсеместного применения концепции «игрового характера» отношений сторон, основным следствием которой является отказ в судебной защите. Предпосылкой данного вывода является становление метавселенных, что напрямую связано со скачкообразным ростом виртуального сектора цифровой экономики, интенсивным развитием виртуальных технологий, увеличением числа пользователей виртуальных платформ и ассортимента предлагаемых им виртуальных товаров.
В рамках исследования рассмотрено социофилософское понятие «виртуализация», продемонстрировано его применение в юридической науке; выявлены области, которые подвергнутся (либо уже подверглись) феномену виртуализации и в которых непосредственно затрагиваются публичные интересы государства.
Дана оценка сложившейся в договорной практике лицензионной модели закрепления юридических отношений между пользователями и правообладателями виртуальных платформ, выявлены ее недостатки и искусственный характер.
Предложены методологические посылы, из которых следует исходить при построении правового регулирования данной сферы, в частности при установлении соотношения национального законодательства, международно-правовых принципов и норм, договорных конструкций и саморегулирования. Сделан вывод о готовности информационного права как юридической науки, комплексно рассматривающей возникающие проблемы в информационной сфере, стать площадкой для развития теории виртуального права в целях восполнения существующего пробела.
При этом ни гражданско-правовая наука, ни теория права отдельно не занимаются изучением соответствующих проблем.
МАШИННОЕ ТВОРЧЕСТВО И ПРАВО: ДВЕ ЧАСТИ ОДНОГО ЦЕЛОГО
Authors: НАЗАРОВ Никита Алексеевич 
Published: November 2022

Машинное творчество становится одной из самых важных технологий при создании объектов интеллектуальной собственности. Это происходит во многих отраслях творческой деятельности, как с указанием на использование технологий, так и с утаиванием данной информации. В итоге человеческое творчество может быть заменено творчеством ЭВМ.
Можно предположить, что в дальнейшем все творческие специальности могут исчезнуть и стать такой же экзотикой, как ручная работа мастера. Они будут цениться в определенных социальных кругах, но в массовом обороте окажется труд машины, которая будет эффективнее и экономичнее, чем человек.
Тем не менее в регулировании машинного творчества существуют нерешенные правовые вопросы, так как законодатели многих стран подходят с осторожностью к регулированию новых объектов, чтобы не навредить дальнейшему развитию этой сферы. Аналогичная ситуация была при создании компьютерных программ.
В статье описан процесс создания творческого объекта при помощи машинного обучения. Выявлены его основные элементы, обнаружилась правовая нерешенность на этапе сбора данных. В связи с этим проанализированы два основных подхода к использованию объектов интеллектуальной собственности. Выявлены недостатки подходов при создании машинного обучения и предложен альтернативный вариант.

Published: November 2022

The study is devoted to the investigation of the recognition of the emotional state of children with Down syndrome (DS) by their facial expression. For this purpose, a series of perceptual experiments involving adults (n=75) and automatic analysis of the facial expressions of children (n=35, aged 5—16 years) were carried out using the FaceReader program. The ability of adults to recognize the emotional states of children: joy — neutral (calm state) — sadness — anger, by open faces and faces with masks over the eyes and mouth is shown. Better recognition of the state of joy and neutral state under the condition of an open face and a decrease in recognition accuracy in a mask in the eye area compared to the absence of a mask and a mask in the mouth area were found. Automatic recognition of the states of joy and neutral states is better than the states of sadness and anger, if the face is open and the mask in the mouth area of the child. The conditions for use the automatic recognition of facial expression in children with DS and for applying the method of perceptual analysis for identifying the specificity of the child emotional sphere development are discussed.

Authors: Jayathilake K A R P 
Published: November 2022

Objective
To describe the delay in service confirmation and to implement an intervention to improve timely confirmation for selected categories of employees, Regional Directorate of Health Services (RDHS), Hambantota, Sri Lanka.
Methods
Nursing Officers (NOs) and Health Service Assistants (HAS) were identified as the most affected by the delay. The documents needed for promotion and delays experienced already permanent employees (Group A) and post-probationers awaiting promotion (Group B) were described.
An interventions was developed to enhance submitting documents and evaluation were done in phase 2 and 3 respectively.
Results
NOs and HSA in group A experienced mean delays of 83.1 weeks (SD 27.3) and 136.1 weeks (SD 75.6) with significant difference. Trend was similar in group B. Initiation of activities needed for promotion by RDHS has taken 170.2 (SD 8.7) weeks for NOO and 173.9 (SD 37.4) weeks for HSA in group B. HSA were less compliant in submitting documents. Heads of Institutions (HOI) showed delays in submitting annual reports.
The intervention resulted in receiving all documents to be submitted by employees, and significant increase in receiving annual reports of HoI. It increased from 52.0 % to 74.0%. Recommendation of personal files of HSA for the promotion by Regional Director Hambantota (RDH) was increased (p <0.01, from 04% to 40%). Usage of the checklist to update personal files improved significantly from 0.9% to 71.2% (p<0.01).
Conclusion
The delays in promotion has affected all selected employees in RDHS, Hambantota. It has to be improved by regular supervision of processing of reqiured documents, and by early initiation of the process of promotion.

Salmos e o Canto Cristão:
Authors: Da Silva Valmor da Silva , Da Silva Gustavo Augusto 
Published: November 2022

Resumo: Este artigo relaciona a salmodia bíblica e os comentários aos salmos que Agostinho de Hipona empreendeu entre os anos de 392 e 422, transmitidos na obra Enarrationes in Psalmos. Nessa obra, Agostinho interpreta os salmos a fim de instruir os fiéis em sua vida de fé, especialmente através do canto e da música. Por isso, o fio condutor da presente análise é a musicalidade, como expressão da oração em forma de poesia. A partir de bibliografia pertinente, são destacados os aspectos musicais nos salmos em geral, e na obra de Agostinho em particular. Com o objetivo de ilustrar a importância da música na oração, Enarrationes serve como amostragem para todos os tempos. Poesia, música e oração movem os corações ao longo da história bíblica, assim como na época de Agostinho e nas culturas subsequentes. O mesmo resultado se aplica, com certeza, aos dias atuais.
Challenges Associated with the Acid Gases Production and Capture in Hydrocarbon Reservoirs: A Critical Review of the Venezuelan Cases

Published: November 2022

Abstract
Acid gases production, such as hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide, from heavy oil reservoirs in Venezuela is generally associated with the application of thermal enhanced oil recovery methods. These undesired gases, especially H2S, can be removed by injecting chemical additives that promote chemical reactions with oxidative or nonoxidative mechanisms in the producing system to generate fewer toxic byproducts. According to the literature, H2S scavengers evaluated in the oil industry are amines, alkaline sodium nitrite, hydrogen peroxide, triazine, among others. To mitigate both H2S and CO2 from a reservoir, some novel proposals are under study to offer alternatives to control them from the reservoir and reduce their production in surface.
This article presents a review of the key parameters that play a role in the generation of acid gases, mainly H2S and CO2, in Venezuelan oil reservoirs. The operational field data, the main reactions and mechanisms involved in the process (e.g., aquathermolysis, hydro pyrolysis), and the type of byproducts generated will be reviewed. The results and knowledge gained will assist in identifying the main insights of the process, associating them with other international field cases published in the literature, and establishing perspectives for the evaluation of the most convenient techniques from health, safety, technical and economic points of view.
Lab and field results have shown that the application of thermal EOR methods in reservoirs of the main Venezuelan basins promote the generation of acid gases due to physicochemical transformations of sulfur, and/or fluid-rock interactions. Sulfur content in Venezuelan viscous oil reservoirs, together with rock mineralogy (clay type) has a significant impact on H2S production. Reported lab results also indicated that H2S scavengers reduce the amount of sulfur, and the presence of CO2 also affects the H2S removal mechanisms, depending on which type of scavenger is selected (e.g., amines, triazine, etc.). Solubilization, hydrolysis, adsorption, absorption, and complex sequestrant reactions (oxidation, neutralization, regeneration, and precipitations) are the main mechanisms involved in the removal of H2S. The literature reported that the application of triazine liquid scavengers is found to generate monomeric dithiazine byproducts (amorphous polymeric dithiazine) which might cause formation damage or inflict flow assurance issues upstream and downstream.
This work presents a state of the art review on H2S generation mechanisms and new technologies for the mitigation of acid gases in Venezuelan reservoirs. It also provides perspectives for the application of the most convenient technologies for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (mostly CO2), which is critical to producing hydrocarbons with low environmental impact.
