Authors: Gil Yee Milén , Jimenez Vega K. 
Published: April 2022

Introducción: La causa más común de seno urogenital es la hiperplasia suprarrenal congénita. En nuestro país se han presentado del 2015 al 2019 solo 7 casos manejados por el servicio de urología del Hospital Nacional de Niños que es el único de referencia en el país. Antes del 2015 los pacientes con esta patología también eran abordados por parte de cirugía pediátrica de este centro. Existen múltiples técnicas para corregir esta malformación, se presentarán las usadas en nuestro hospital; siendo la más novedosa la de Passerini- Glazel.
Método: Estudio observacional, transversal, retrospectivo por medio de revisión de expedientes clínicos en el Hospital Nacional de Niños, Costa Rica.
Objetivo: Determinar las características de la población con seno urogenital sin malformaciones ano-rectales y las complicaciones quirúrgicas obtenidas.
Resultados: La mayor incidencia de casos fue en la provincia de Alajuela, todas las pacientes tenían cariotipo 46, XX. El diagnóstico fue en etapa neonatal. La virilización fue muy severa. A la mayoría de pacientes se le resolvió en un solo tiempo quirúrgico. Las complicaciones no fueron severas. La mayoría de pacientes fueron operadas con la técnica de Passerini – Glazel con excelentes resultados, sin embargo las pacientes operadas con otras técnicas no presentaron molestias o complicaciones severas.
Conclusiones: Todas las familias del estudio están actualmente muy satisfechas con los resultados estéticos y el apoyo brindado por este hospital. El seno urogenital es una patología infrecuente y se debería de tratar con una clínica de manejo integral al paciente donde se debe tener en cuenta el apoyo por parte de endocrinología, urología, psicología y trabajo social, la cual en este momento está en proceso de formarse. La transición a hospitales de adultos no es la adecuada, existe mucha dificultad en el seguimiento de estas pacientes; lo cual debe fortalecerse. Se debe continuar con la observación de estas pacientes para mejorar su calidad de vida.

Tribunal Fédéral – Arrêt du Tribunal fédéral du 8 mars 2006 dans la cause 4P.278/2005: commentaire
Authors: Landolt Phillip 
Published: April 2022

<p>Much ado was made about the decision of the Swiss Federal Supreme Court declaring that competition law is not part of public policy pursuant to Art. 190 (2)(e) PIL Act. Too much probably. On the one hand, the present case did not offend EU competition law, which had been fully argued in the arbitration. The arbitral tribunal examined the arguments and found no violation of EU competition law. The losing party seems merely to have sought a review of the merits by the Supreme Court, which the latter is obviously not entitled to perform: Appeals on the merits, even if disguised as challenges of alleged public policy violations, are not available in any modern arbitration legislation. It would have been for the challenging party to show that competition law was violated and is part and parcel of the deliberately restrictive public policy grounds of Art. 190 PIL Act. The Supreme Court expressed incomprehension that, in its lengthy application, the challenging party did not spend more than five pages on this decisive issue (par. 1.2.3). It should also be noted that even in the EU, where a violation of EU competition law is, perhaps understandably, considered to be tantamount to a public policy violation, the argument of a purported violation cannot be raised without limitations. It must be raised <it>before the Arbitral Tribunal</it>. Failing timely argument, it is not for the state courts to interfere at the stage of a challenge of the award.</p>
<p>In the well known precedent <it>Thalès v. Euromissile</it> (J.D.I.-Clunet 2/2005, p. 358), the Paris Court of Appeal refused to review an arbitral award that had purportedly failed to recognize that the contract underlying the arbitration was contrary to EU competition law and therefore void. In a similar case, the Paris Court upheld an arbitral award reminding the parties that ?La Cour, qui n’est pas le juge du procès mais de la sentence, n’exerce cette fois sur celle-ci qu’un contrôle intrinsèque puisque seule sa reconnaissance ou son exécution est examinée au regard de la comptabilité avec l’ordre public international.? The Court found that the Arbitral Tribunal had declared the contract between the parties to the arbitration void in light of EU competition law, that the issue had been fully pleaded in the arbitration, and that the challenge of the award was an inadmissible appeal on the merits (C. Paris, 1ère Ch., 23 March 2006, <it>SNCF v. Cytec Industries</it>, reported in Gazette du Palais / Cahiers de l?arbitrage No. 2006/1, p. 48).</p>
<p>In light of these restrictions, the outcries of some self-declared champions of EU competition law against the decision of the Federal Supreme Court are somewhat surprising considering that the Court merely refrained from setting aside an award where the arbitral tribunal had fully examined the issue.</p>
Judicial Review of Arbitrators Fees A Swiss law perspective
Authors: Robach Malcolm , Palermo Giulio 
Published: April 2022

The present article explores positive law on establishment of arbitrator fees in domestic and international Swiss arbitration in light of the principle that no one may be judge of his own cause. The article notes that the principle of nemo iudex in causa sua appears to be applied more stringently to international proceedings seated in Switzerland than to Swiss domestic arbitration proceedings. With regard to relevant legal provisions and case law, it compares cases where the arbitrators are brought to fixing their own fees with cases where such fees are fixed by a neutral third party such as an arbitral institution. Subsequently it examines the degree to which state courts exercise control over these decisions looking at potentially competent courts and applicable law.
Polyvalente Schieds(gutachtens)klauseln  Anmerkungen zu BGE 142 III 220
Authors: Wenger Werner 
Published: April 2022

In the decision reported above, the Swiss Federal Supreme Court dealt with a clause inserted by two co-owners in the rules of administration relating to the building they owned. The clause provided for the appointment of a neutral in the event that the two owners could not reach a unanimous decision in matters relating to their co-ownership; in such event, the neutral’s decision was to stand in lieu of the co-owners’ resolution. Based on such clause, co-owner B initiated arbitration proceedings against co-owner A with regard to the former’s request that the co-ownership initiate court proceedings against the tenant of the building, a company E of which co-owner A was the controlling shareholder. Although the wording of the clause appears at first glance to be restricted to a neutral’s intervention in a function based on contract law similar to that of a third party mandated to amend or adapt the contents of the parties’ contract rather than as an arbitrator acting under the CPC or the PILS, the Federal Court ruled that the clause was to be understood in a broader sense, covering also the essential elements of an arbitration clause with respect to the legal dispute arisen between the two co-owners. In addition, the Federal Court held that arbitration clauses in by-laws are not only binding on the original members of the legal entity, but also on successive members of the corporate body or the community of co-owners.
The Prague Rules : Competitor, Alternative or Addition to the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration?
Authors: Henriques Duarte G. 
Published: April 2022

One of the current fundamental concerns regarding international arbitration is the time and cost that it is associated with it. Many say that this reflects the increasing complexity of the disputes that are resolved by arbitration and that such complexity is a result of the importation of traditional “common law” litigation expedients. Many others say that the problem lies elsewhere: weak arbitrators, who in turn rely exclusively on the existing sets of rules, which require them to obey strictly and rigorously the “sacrosanct” commands of due process. This landscape has raised concerns related to the creeping and evergrowing paranoia on due process, which has turned many arbitrators the captives of the initiative and requests of the parties and, therefore, contributors to lengthy and costly proceedings. On the other hand, it has also been pointed out that the derailing of arbitration proceedings is especially acute when it comes to the taking of evidence. In this regard, the IBA Rules on the Taking of Evidence in International Arbitration have been playing a fundamental role. They strike a balance between “common law” and “civil law” traditions. However, that is what is in writing, not what has been the practice. Thus, some crucial questions arise: What if granting more powers to arbitral tribunals, making them more pro-active and more in control of the conduct of proceedings, renders arbitration more expeditious and more efficient? What if arbitral tribunals have not been as controlling and pro-active because the existing rules and legal framework simply do not leave arbitrators at ease in doing so? What if the parties themselves are not aware that they can and should accord more powers to arbitral tribunals, and that they are not comfortable in doing so because there is no set of rules that expressly points in that direction? Those are the fundamental issues that the “Rules of Prague” eventually address by setting forth a host of major principles to apply by arbitral tribunals.

Arabidopsis thaliana AXR4 Recombinant Protein Expression for Polyclonal Antibody Production
Authors: Norliza A.B. , Ranjan S. , Bennet M. , Kerr I. 
Published: April 2022

The Arabidopsis AXR4 gene product is involved in polar targeting of AUX1 an auxin influx carrier, to the plasma membrane (Dharmasiri et al. 2006). The AXR4 gene encodes a protein of 473 amino acids and is predicted as a Type II, integral membrane protein with a short N terminal sequence, a single transmembrane region and a large C terminal domain. The C terminus domain of AtAXR4 referred to as AtAXR4 C, was expressed as a recombinant protein in Escherichia coli and used as an antigen to generate polyclonal antibody. The antibody recognized a protein of approximately 54 kDa in the membrane fractions prepared from Arabidopsis thaliana. The availability of anti-AXR4 antibody will contribute towards elucidation of AXR4 biochemical properties and its molecular function.

Glycine wightii species is an important perennial soybean. Tissue culture of in vitro cells, tissues and organs of Glycine wightii can yield efficient means in the genetics of breeding genetics, understanding the physiology and biochemistry of legumes. Most often than not, callus growth curve is sigmoidal in characteristics. In this work, we model callus growth from Glycine wightiifrom published literature to acquire essential growth constants. Previously, we model the growth of callus of Glycine wightii from published literature to obtain vital growth constants. We discovered that the modified Gompertz model via nonlinear regression utilizing the least square method was the best model to explain the growth curve. Nonlinear regression utilizing the least square method typically utilizes the idea that data points usually do not depend upon each other or the value of a data point is not determined by the value of previous or proceeding data points or usually do not display autocorrelation. In this work, the Durbin-Watson statistic to check for the presence of autocorrelation in the growth model was carried out, and showed that the modified Gompertz model was adequate to model the callus growth curve.

Monohalogenated acetic acids have been widely used in industry and agriculture as precursor tochemicals and as herbicides, respectively. Monobromoacetic acid (MBA) is a chemicalintermediate for the manufacturing of various chemicals with application in agriculture andpharmacy. Bioremediation of monobromoacetic acid, has been touted as a more economical and feasible method compared to physical and chemical approaches. Previously, we model thegrowth of growth of Moraxella sp. B on monobromoacetic acid from published literature toobtain vital growth constants. We discovered that the Buchanan-three-phase model via nonlinear regression utilizing the least square method was the very best model to explain the growth curve. However, the use of statistical tests to choose the best model relies heavily on the residuals of the curve to be statistically robust. More often than not, the residuals must be tested for the presence of outliers (at 95 or 99% of confidence). In this work, the Grubbâ€™s test to detect the presence of outlier in the growth model was carried out.

Published: April 2022

The novel corona virus (2019-nCoV) infection has spread rapidly to other provinces and neighbouring countries since the emergence of the first cases at Wuhan, China. Estimation of the death cases by mathematical modelling can help to determine the potential and severity of the outbreak and to provide critical information on the type and intensity of disease response. In this paper, we present different growth models such as Von Bertalanffy, Baranyi-Roberts, Morgan-Mercer-Flodin (MMF), modified Richards, modified Gompertz, modified Logistics and Huang in fitting and analyzing the epidemic trend of COVID-19 in the form of total number of death cases of SARS-CoV-2 in Brazil as of 15th of July 2020. The MMF model was found to be the best model with the highest adjusted R2 value with the lowest RMSE value. The Accuracy and Bias Factors values were close to unity (1.0). The parameters obtained from the MMF model include maximum growth of death rate (log) of 0.03 (95% CI from 0.02 to 0.028), curve constant (d) that affects the inflection point of 0.7057 (95% CI from 0.68 to 0.73) and maximal total number of death (ymax) of 17,619,760 (95% CI from 9,705,100 to 34,994,517). The MMF model predicted that the total number of death cases for Brazil on the coming 15th of August and 15th of September 2020 will be 132,787 (95% CI of 123,422 to 142,863) and 212,166 (95% CI of 192,578 to 233,746), respectively. The predictive ability of the model utilized in this study is a powerful tool for epidemiologist to monitor and assess the severity of COVID-19 in Brazil in months to come. However, as with any other model, these values need to be taken with caution due to the unpredictability of the COVID-19 situation locally and globally.

Authors: Othman Roshani , Harmin Sharr Azni , Md Yasin Ina-Salwany 
Published: April 2022

Mass production of fish broodstock with high quality eggs requires the knowledge on the chemical composition and physiochemical properties of vitellogenin (Vtg) during ovulation. Vtg is an egg yolk precursor phospholipoglycoprotein, and has been analysed to evaluate the reproductive conditions and determine the spawning period in captive and wild fish. In this study, Vtg was induced in male H. nemurus through three intramuscular injections of 17- estradiol (E2). The Vtg was purified from the serum using gel filtration chromatography and thepurified protein was reduced via SDS-PAGE. One major polypeptide corresponding to 130 kDa was observed. Vtg identification was done using peptide mass fingerprint (PMF) from the trypsin digestion of male H. nemurus Vtg induced with E2. The sequence homology of H. nemurus AYLAGAAADVLEVGVR matched the Vtg of other fish species when analysedusing MALDI-TOF. Vtg was confirmed by MASCOT at 95% significant level. The potential protein that controls the reproductive process and oocyte development isolated from this study was discussed to understand the structure and function of Vtg.

Published: April 2022

Kinetic equations, which describe the activity of an enzyme or a microorganism on a particular substrate, are crucial in understanding many phenomena in biotechnological processes. They allow the mathematical prediction of growth parameters important for identifying key parameters for controlling growth. We remodeled the published work on chromate reduction by Bacillus sp.(JUBTCR3) using several more growth kinetic models such as Monod, Teissier, Andrews and Noack, Aiba, Webb (Edward), Yano and Koga, Han and Levenspiel and Luong and evaluated the accuracy of the fitted model using statistical analysis such as root mean square (rmse), adjusted coefficient of determination (R2), corrected Akaike Information Criterion (AICc), Bias Factor,Accuracy Factor and f-test. the calculated value for the Haldane constants in this work such as maximal growth rate, half saturation constant and half inhibition constant rate symbolized by umax, ks, and ki, were 0.07 hr-1, 17.4 mg/dm3 and 102.95 mg/dm3, respectively. The true umax where the gradient for the slope is zero for the Haldane model was approximately 0.037 h-1 at 42 mg/dm3chromate. the results indicate that the exhaustive use of mathematical models on available published results could support published results using comparative analyses of more models backed by statistical analyses that can provide new knowledge on the way toxic substance inhibit growth rate in microbes.
