DEONTOLOGI VS. KONSEKUENSIALISME : PANDANGAN FILOSOFIS DALAM PENEGAKAN HUKUM HAK ASASI MANUSIA

Enforcement of Human Rights (HAM) law is an effort to ensure that the basic rights of every individual can be respected, protected, safeguarded and fulfilled by the state and society. The deontological and consequentialist approaches have provided different views on upholding human rights. Deontology emphasizes moral obligations, namely that every action must be based on correct principles without prioritizing the consequences. This approach is sometimes less flexible in dealing with complex circumstances or cases and requires contextual adjustments. Meanwhile, consequentialism emphasizes the results and impacts of an action, where an action can be judged as good or bad based on the consequences of the action on the welfare of society, but risks sacrificing basic human rights principles for the sake of short-term results. This research aims to provide an analysis regarding how these two approaches are applied and the resulting impact on enforcing human rights law. That of these two approaches, neither approach is completely superior in enforcing human rights law. Both approaches have their respective advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, an approach that combines deontological principles with considerations of consequentialism is necessary to ensure and improve the just and prosperous enforcement of human rights law. Enforcement of human rights law ensures that the principles of justice, freedom and human dignity are upheld or respected in all aspects of life. The research method used in this research is normative research, namely a legal research method that focuses on analyzing legal norms and principles that develop in society.

Tratamiento de estenosis de uretra anterior con balón dilatador con paclitaxel en niños: reporte preliminar

Case description: Three pediatric patients with urethral stenosis due to multiple etiologies underwent mechanical Paclitaxel coated balloon dilation (Ranger TM). All of them underwent fluoroscopic follow-up at 3 months and no recurrence was observed. Relevance: The worldwide incidence of urethral stenosis in males is 0.2-0.6 %. Currently, urethroplasty is the best therapeutic option. Paclitaxel is an antiproliferative drug initially used as a chemotherapeutic agent and currently used for resolution of coronary obstruction due to the inhibition of fibroblast growth. We advocate for its use along with mechanical ballon dilation for the treatment of urethral stenosis. Clinical implications: Urethral Paclitaxel balloon dilation has shown better anatomic and functional results in anterior urethral stenosis compared with endoscopic treatment, specially in recurrent stenosis <3 cm in third fase studies. The short and medium term results are promising with a success rate of more than 65 %. Conclusions: Paclitaxel coated balloon dilation can be used safely in pediatric patients with urethral stenosis, achieving resolution of obstruction.

Do economic uncertainty and political risk steer CDS dynamics? An analysis of the Türkiye CDS

Purpose This study aims to identify critical determinants of sovereign credit risk by examining the influence of oil prices, gold prices, geopolitical risk, market volatility, exchange rates, inflation and non-performing loans on Türkiye’s credit default swap (CDS) spreads. This analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of how economic uncertainty and political risk impact Türkiye’s financial stability, as reflected in its CDS market. This study investigates the importance of ex ante proxies in explaining changes in CDS spread by financial and economic indicators in Türkiye. Design/methodology/approach This research explores the connections between critical financial and economic indicators and the credit risk of Türkiye between 2009 and 2022 by using advanced econometric techniques such as ARDL bound tests, fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS), dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS), Johansen co-integration tests and VECM Granger causality analyses. Findings ARDL bound test results reveal significant negative impacts of BIST and non-performing loans on CDS, and positive associations with inflation, VIX and geopolitical risk on CDSs. The short-term results show that BIST, INFL, NPL, USD, VIX and GPRT have negative coefficients. Johansen co-integration, FMOLS and DOLS results reinforce the ARDL findings. Moreover, BIST is a significant Granger cause of CDS. Originality/value This study is significant, as it jointly considers economic and political risk factors, thereby integrating multiple econometric models to provide more robust, meaningful and comparable results. By examining these factors together, the analysis offers a more comprehensive understanding of risk dynamics, yielding insights relevant to Türkiye. Although the findings are specific to Türkiye, they have broader implications, enriching the understanding of emerging economies. Türkiye’s status as a key representative of emerging markets strengthens the study’s value, as the results can serve as a reference point for other countries with similar economic structures. The importance of this study is also underscored by its potential to inform risk management strategies, guide policy decisions and offer insights to investors and financial analysts. By elucidating the intricate relationships among a broad spectrum of macroeconomic variables, this research contributes to a more comprehensive risk assessment framework. It equips stakeholders with a more informed perspective on the factors influencing credit risk in Türkiye’s economic landscape.

Long-term clinical and angiographic outcome of T-and protrusion technique with ultrathin strut drug eluting stents.

Data about coronary bifurcations treated with ultrathin strut drug-eluting stents (DES) using T-and-protrusion (TAP) technique is limited. In this study, a total of 84 consecutive patients, who underwent bifurcation percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with TAP technique using Orsiro® DES (Biotronik, Berlin, Germany), were included. All pre- and post-procedural data, as well as 1- and 2-year follow-up angiograms, were analyzed. Primary endpoints were procedural success and target lesion failure (TLF); secondary endpoints were all-cause mortality and major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) during follow-up. Procedural success was achieved in 100% of cases. TLF rate was higher in patients presented with acute coronary syndrome compared to the ones with chronic coronary syndrome (19% vs. 5% p = 0.09). All-cause mortality was 30% during follow-up, from which 26% was due to non-cardiovascular cause, and the MACCE rate was 46%. Coronary bifurcations treated with ultrathin strut DES showed good short-term results and were associated with acceptable cardiovascular mortality. However, in these long-term patients, the rate of MACCE and non-cardiovascular death were rather high.

Rota-Tripsy or step-up-approach rotational atherectomy for severe coronary artery calcification treatment: a comparative effectiveness study

Step-up-approach rotational atherectomy has been widely recognized in the treatment of severe calcified plaques. As an alternative, the rota-tripsy procedure is a novel strategy for the modification of calcification lesions. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficacy and safety of rota-tripsy and step-up-approach rotational atherectomy, given the limited clinical data available. Clinical data of 3652 patients with coronary calcification were retrospectively collected from February 2021 to February 2024. The cases were divided into two groups based on the technical approach. The primary efficacy endpoint was procedural success (stent expansion rate > 70% and no hospital major adverse cardiac events [MACEs]). The primary safety endpoint was the absence of serious angiographic complications and 30 days MACEs. A total of 37 patients (38 calcified lesions) screened and included in the study, with 18 cases (19 lesions) in group A and 19 cases in group B. The results showed no significant differences in primary efficacy endpoint. However, group A recorded a lower incidence of angiographic complications (P = 0.02) and shorter dose area product and fluoroscopy/interval times compared with group B (P < 0.01). For management of severe coronary calcification, both rota-tripsy and step-up-approach rotational atherectomy had favorable short-term clinical results; however, rota-tripsy provided improved safety and efficiency.

Financial innovation can hamper the sustainable economic growth: A tale of two emerging economies

This study compares the sustainability of financial innovation, development, and economic growth in India and China, considering macro-economic factors like globalization, inflation, and monetary policies. It addresses the impact of financial development on sustainable economic growth by analyzing these two major emerging economies. The ARDL co-integration approach is used to assess long-run and short-run relationships among variables, focusing on sustainability. The results show a long-term co-integration among financial innovation, development, and economic growth, revealing challenges to sustainable development. Both countries show a negative long-term relationship between financial innovation, development, and economic growth, with India's impact larger in magnitude than China's. In contrast, short-term results are positive and significant for both nations. The ECT term suggests India requires more short-run adjustments to reach equilibrium. Overall, financial initiatives in both countries, amid globalization and monetary challenges, do not support sustainable long-term GDP growth but have short-term positive effects. China performs better due to smaller negative coefficients and fewer adjustments needed. The findings align with economic theories such as the Solow growth model and the theory of endogenous growth, emphasizing efficient allocation of financial resources for growth. This research adds valuable insights to the literature on sustainable economic outcomes in India and China, providing policymakers with guidance for future strategies to achieve sustainable growth.

Short-Term Results of Anomalous Origin of the Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA) Repair: A Single Centre Study

This retrospective case series reviews outcomes for 12 patients who underwent Anomalous Left Coronary Artery from the Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA) repair at our hospital from July 2018 to June 2023, following ethical approval. Diagnoses were confirmed via echocardiography, angiography, or CT angiography, excluding those with additional anomalies or prior surgeries. Data collected included patient demographics, preoperative symptoms, left ventricular ejection fraction, and mitral regurgitation severity. Surgeries involved median sternotomy with modified left coronary perfusion and cardioplegia. Key outcomes assessed were success rates, recovery times, early complications, and improvements in cardiac function. Results showed a mean age of 8.5 ± 2.1 months and a mean weight of 8.41 ± 1.2 kg, with 75.9% male patients. Preoperative symptoms included tachypnea, growth failure, and irritability, with an initial left ventricular ejection fraction of 28%. Post-surgery, the success rate was 100%, with significant improvements in left ventricular ejection fraction to 45% and reduced mitral regurgitation. The study highlights the importance of early diagnosis and effective surgical management of ALCAPA, especially in cases involving non-facing coronary origins.

Quantifying Overdiagnosis for Multicancer Detection Tests: A Novel Method.

Multicancer detection (MCD) tests use blood specimens to detect preclinical cancers. A major concern is overdiagnosis, the detection of preclinical cancer on screening that would not have developed into symptomatic cancer in the absence of screening. Because overdiagnosis can lead to unnecessary and harmful treatments, its quantification is important. A key metric is the screen overdiagnosis fraction (SOF), the probability of overdiagnosis at screen detection. Estimating SOF is notoriously difficult because overdiagnosis is not observed. This estimation is more challenging with MCD tests because short-term results are needed as the technology is rapidly changing. To estimate average SOF for a program of yearly MCD tests, I introduce a novel method that requires at least two yearly MCD tests given to persons having a wide range of ages and applies only to cancers for which there is no conventional screening. The method assumes an exponential distribution for the sojourn time in an operational screen-detectable preclinical cancer (OPC) state, defined as once screen-detectable (positive screen and work-up), always screen-detectable. Because this assumption appears in only one term in the SOF formula, the results are robust to violations of the assumption. An SOF plot graphs average SOF versus mean sojourn time. With lung cancer screening data and synthetic data, SOF plots distinguished small from moderate levels of SOF. With its unique set of assumptions, the SOF plot would complement other modeling approaches for estimating SOF once sufficient short-term observational data on MCD tests become available.

GOVERNANCE AND FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT : EVIDENCE IN ASEAN

This research analyzes the connection of Regulatory Quality (RQ) and Rule of Law (ROL) on Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in ASEAN countries between 2002 to 2022. Utilizing the pooled mean group (PMG) technique with data sourced from the World Bank, the study found that Regulatory Quality significantly impacts FDI in the long term. Short-term results indicate significant corrections to the divergence of the long-term equilibrium production levels. Causality tests reveal a two-way relationship between FDI and Regulatory Quality in ASEAN countries, but no reciprocal relationship with Rule of Law was identified.

Greater Tuberosity Healing Rate and Clinical Results Following RSA Are Similar for Two Fracture-Specific Implant Systems.

Background: Various fracture-specific reverse shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) systems exist on the market. We set out to examine whether the type of prosthesis used and the means of fixation (cemented or non-cemented) influenced the rate of tuberosity healing or the functional outcome of the operation. Methods: This retrospective cohort multicenter study included 146 patients who underwent RSA for an acute three- or four-part proximal humerus fracture and had a minimum follow-up of one year. Six fellowship-trained surgeons at two different centers performed all operations. The implants were either Tornier Aequalis or Depuy Delta Xtend, both fracture-specific Grammont-style systems. Results: The mean age ± standard deviation (SD) was 76 ± 7 years, and 83% of patients were female. The mean ± SD follow-up time was 30 ± 31 months. The Aequalis prosthesis was used in 82 patients (56%), and the Delta Xtend in 64 patients (44%). A total of 105 RSAs (72%) were cemented. Tuberosity healing rate was similar for the two implant systems (71% Aequalis vs. 82% Delta Xtend, p = 0.15) and for the cemented or non-cemented, respectively (73% cemented vs. 83% non-cemented, p = 0.22). There was no significant difference in the motion and functional outcomes between the two implant systems in this study. Conclusions: RSA for complex PHF in the elderly has similar short-term results, regardless of the type of fracture-specific implant or the fixation technique (cemented vs. cementless).

Long-term clinical outcomes of thermal ablation for benign thyroid nodules and unresolved issues: a comprehensive systematic review.

Thermal ablation is widely accepted as an effective and safe method for treating benign thyroid nodules. Many studies reporting short-term results have consistently demonstrated the efficacy and safety of thermal ablation. However, as the clinical application of thermal ablation grows and follow-up periods extend, long-term clinical outcomes of thermal ablation have revealed several issues, including regrowth and diagnosis of malignancy in ablated lesions. In this systematic review, we analyze the long-term clinical outcomes of thyroid thermal ablation, focusing on regrowth, delayed surgery, and the potential for malignancy after thermal ablation and propose solutions to address these unresolved issues and enhance the management of benign thyroid nodules through thermal ablation.

Telemonitoring of Active Inflammatory Bowel Disease Using the App TECCU: Short-Term Results of a Multicenter Trial of GETECCU.

Telemonitoring for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has not consistently demonstrated superiority over standard care; however, noninferiority may be an acceptable outcome if remote care proves to be more efficient. This study aims to compare the remission time and quality of life of patients with active IBD managed through standard care versus the TECCU (Telemonitoring of Crohn Disease and Ulcerative Colitis) app. A 2-arm, randomized, multicenter trial with a noninferiority design was conducted across 24 hospitals in Spain. The study included adult patients with IBD who were starting immunosuppressive or biological therapy. Participants were randomized into 2 groups: the telemonitoring group (G_TECCU) and the standard care group (G_Control). The follow-up schedule for the telemonitoring group (G_TECCU) was based on contacts via the TECCU app, while the control group (G_Control) adhered to standard clinical practice, which included in-person visits and telephone calls. In both groups, treatment adjustments were made based on the progression of disease activity and medication adherence, assessed using specific indices and biological markers at each check-up. The primary outcome was the duration of remission after 12 weeks, while secondary outcomes included quality of life, medication adherence, adverse events, and patient satisfaction. Of the 169 patients enrolled, 158 were randomized and 150 were analyzed per protocol: telemonitoring (n=71) and control (n=79). After 12 weeks, the time in clinical remission was not inferior in the telemonitoring group (mean 4.20, SD 3.73 weeks) compared with the control group (mean 4.32, SD 3.28 weeks), with a mean difference between arms of -0.12 weeks (95% CI -1.25 to 1.01; noninferiority P=.02). The mean reduction in C-reactive protein values was -15.40 mg/L (SD 90.15 mg/L; P=.19) in the G_TECCU group and -13.16 mg/L (SD 54.61 mg/L; P=.05) in the G_Control group, with no significant differences between the 2 arms (P=.73). Similarly, the mean improvement in fecal calprotectin levels was 832.3 mg/L (SD 1825.0 mg/L; P=.003) in the G_TECCU group and 1073.5 mg/L (SD 3105.7 mg/L; P=.03) in the G_Control group; however, the differences were not statistically significant (P=.96). Quality of life improved in both groups, with a mean increase in the 9-item Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire score of 13.44 points (SD 19.1 points; P<.001) in the G_TECCU group and 18.23 points (SD 22.9 points; P=.001) in the G_Control group. Additionally, the proportion of patients who adhered to their medication significantly increased from 35% (25/71) to 68% (48/71) in the G_TECCU group (P=.001) and from 46% (36/79) to 73% (58/79) in the G_Control group (P=.001). The satisfaction rate remained stable at around 90%, although noninferiority was not demonstrated for the secondary outcomes. Telemonitoring patients with active IBD is not inferior to standard care for achieving and maintaining short-term remission. The TECCU app may serve as a viable alternative follow-up tool, pending confirmation of improved health outcomes and cost-effectiveness over the long-term.

Intervention of age-related memory impairment by integrative musical stimuli

Abstract. Age-related memory impairment often causes significant distress for the elderly, imposing substantial burdens on families and society. It is widely known that auditory stimulation can trigger certain emotions and brain activities, but studies about factors that determine its effectiveness are lacking. This study aims to investigate the potential of music as an intervention for age-related memory impairment and the relative importance of music genre and preference level as factors that impact the effectiveness of music treatment. The research involves 22 participants and evaluates verbal episodic and working memory performance using the ten-word test (TWT) and digit span (DS) test, respectively. Additionally, electroencephalogram (EEG) data is analyzed to examine the impact of music on cortical electrical activity. This study involves the creation of a random forest machine learning model to predict long-term memory outcomes based on short-term data. Based on results comparing preference to music genre, we found that preference is a more important determining factor for the effectiveness of music treatment, and preference level one (most favourite music) treatment yielded the highest average improvements in both the TWT and the DS. Based on genre analysis, classical music stimuli were effective for improving long-term TWT and DS scores, and folk music stimuli effectively improved long-term TWT scores. Following folk music treatment, participants aged 65 and above yielded TWT score enhancements ranging from 25% to 66.7% and DS score enhancements ranging from 20% to 50%. This study also discovered the effectiveness of utilizing the random forest machine learning model to predict long-term TWT and DS outcomes based on short-term results, potentially enhancing the efficiency of future treatment.

Exploring the Role of Tools and Technologies in Enhancing Human Knowledge Acquisition: The Flora of Cambodia as a Pilot Project.

The globalization of the world profoundly impacts the academic and scientific domains. Technological advances have enabled an immeasurable progress in many scientific fields, for example structural or functional genomics, bioinformatics or even the development of artificial intelligence, which is becoming a catalyst for disciplines such as taxonomy. However, we are witnessing an unprecedented paradox. We have entered a period described as the 6th mass extinction (e.g., Ceballos et al. 2015, Ceballos et al. 2020, Cowie et al. 2022), where biodiversity has been in decline for many years because of anthropogenic activity (Myers et al. 2000, Sachs et al. 2009, Butchart et al. 2010) and yet, techniques have never been so advanced (e.g., online databases, metabarcording and eDNA identification methods). They produce a deluge of results and data that must be managed to facilitate their access and re-use and benefit to all users, i.e., scientists and stake-holders or policy makers on a global scale. Currently, the flora of Cambodia is part of the Flora of Cambodia, Laos and Viêt-nam*1 and is jointly edited by the Royal Botanic Garden of Edinburgh and the Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris since 2013. Given Cambodia's historical ties to French Indochina, France's long-term presence has significantly contributed to the documentation of Cambodia's biodiversity. The largest collection of Cambodian specimens is housed at the Paris Herbarium. The Flora of Cambodia project (Ung 2023) started in 2023 as a pilot project for testing the effectiveness of different open tools developped for taxonomists, e.g., the echinopscis platform*2 developped at the Royal Botanical Garden Kew; Bionomia*3; data made available online through platforms such as the Global Biodiversity Information Facility, Atlas of Living Australia, and World Flora Online. Other sources will also be used, like publications (Joyce et al. 2020) and "les herbonautes"*4, a citizen science platform. The short-term result is to produce a checklist of the vascular plants of Cambodia in multiple languages including Khmer. This project aligns with the FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) (Wilkinson et al. 2016) and CARE (Collective benefit, Authority to control, Responsability, Ethics) (Carroll et al. 2020) principles.

Effectiveness of dry needle therapy in patients with chronic nonspecific low back pain

Background: Low back pain is a prevalent symptom worldwide, with various underlying causes, making differential diagnosis essential. This study aims to investigate the efficacy of dry needling treatment added to exercise in patients with chronic Nonspecific Low Back Pain (NLBP). The McKenzie exercise program was applied to all participants.Materials and Method: The study comprised sixty participants, randomly allocated into two groups: the dry needling (DNG) and the exercise group (EG). The participants in DNG received a total of six sessions of dry needling treatment, two days a week, to the gluteus medius and quadratus lumborum and multifidus muscles. All participants were given a McKenzie exercise program two sets per day for three weeks.Results: A significant difference was noted in the VAS-night values of the patients within the DNG before treatment (p: 0.004), and the EG also exhibited a significant difference in the VAS-activity (p: 0.017) and VAS-resting (p: 0.024) values following the treatment. A statistically significant decrease was observed in favor of DNG in VAS-rest, VAS-night, VAS-activity values (p&gt;0.001) in the comparions of the groups.Conclusions: Dry needling treatment added to exercise therapy in chronic NLBP patients is effective on activity and rest pain severity in the shortterm results. However, no additive efficacy of dry needling treatment was found on the number of trigger points, disability, and depression.

Functional outcome after arthroscopic mosaicplasty for localised osteochondral defects in the knee

Background: Knee injuries are commonly encountered in active sports persons as well as nonathletes, with approximately 60% of patients having cartilage damage with or without associated ligament and meniscal injuries. In this study, we report on the functional outcome of autologous osteochondral grafting in localised cartilage lesions of the knee. MethodsA longitudinal follow-up study was conducted on 50 patients aged between 18-55 years with symptomatic focal cartilage defect in the knee of size less than 2.0 cm2 after necessary inclusion/exclusion criteria. Management involved arthroscopic autologous osteochondral grafting. The donor cartilage was from the non–weight-bearing region of the ipsilateral knee. Other associated intra-articular injuries were addressed in the same sitting. The patients were followed up after 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months and clinical status documented by the Lysholm Knee Function Scale (LKFS). ResultsMost patients were young active males. Clinical presentation involved pain in all participants, followed by joint line tenderness. There was at least one associated injury to other intra-articular structures in 52% of the patients. The commonest associated injury was anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear followed by meniscus tear. The mean size of the focal cartilage defect was 1.013 cm2, ranging from 0.8 cm2 to 1.6 cm2. The mean preoperative LKFS was 56.97 ± 1.38 (standard error). There was a statistically (p < 0.001) as well as clinically significant (clinically important difference >13.0 and patient acceptable symptomatic state >70.0) improvement in the mean Lysholm score, which was 70 ± 1.32, 81.3 ± 1.12 and 92.1 ± 1.11 at the end of 6 weeks, 3 months and 6 months respectively. Eighty-four percent of the patients showed excellent functional outcome at 6 months (LKFS >90), whereas 8% and 4% had good and fair outcomes, respectively, at 6 months (LKFS: 70–90). Two patients (4%) who had failed ACL reconstruction had poor outcome (LKFS <70)at 6 months. ConclusionMosaicplasty is an excellent procedure for managing cartilage defects of small to medium sizes, less than 2.0 cm2. The short-term results are satisfying and can accelerate rehabilitation of sports injuries. It is noteworthy that instability is a contra-indication for the procedure to succeed.

Energy Performance Assessment on Vertical Greening Systems with Green Roof in Hot Summer and Cold Winter Regions Based on Long-term Experimental Data

The integration of vertical greening systems and green roofs with buildings is currently a popular urban development approach aimed at mitigating the urban heat island effect and promoting sustainable development. However, most existing studies on vertical greening systems and green roofs are based on short-term experimental results, which might not reflect their overall performance. Thus, this paper aims at evaluating the energy performance of vertical greening systems and green roofs in a hot summer and cold winter region in China over a three-year period. Although energy-saving was found in summer, occasionally increases in energy demand occurred in winter. It confirms the need for long-term experiments to avoid contingency. The energy saving rate of vertical greening systems and green roofs was approximately 27.49%-42.48% (monthly) or 28.89%-34.02% (quarterly) during the cooling period (33.84% on average), and approximately -7.42%-13.79% (monthly) or -1.19%-6.58% (quarterly) during the heating period (3.6% on average). The impact of climatic conditions on energy saving rate was evaluated. It was found that solar radiation intensity is the most important factor, followed by the outdoor air temperature and relative humidity. This paper provides an insight on the long-term energy-saving benefits of vertical greening systems and green roofs in hot summer and cold winter regions and the correlation between climatic conditions and energy saving rate.
