The legitimacy of criminal law is essential and ambiguous foundation of the criminal system. The notion of legitimacy should be legally grounded. The law has to be rightful and its applications needs to be legitimate. The controversy legitimizing criminal law has become an issue not only among politicians and lawyers, but also among academicians. This study has investigated the legitimacy of the criminal law. The study also investigated the relationship between constitution and legitimacy of the criminal law. The findings indicated that constitution is an essential component of criminal law legitimacy. The authorities to legitimize their decisions need to abide by the written constitution of the country. This study also investigated the important of communication and interaction between components of society to comprehend the legitimacy of the criminal law. The legitimacy of the criminal law is also important to overcome conflicts and crises. This study identified that law enforcement does not resolve criminal issues as a whole, but it’s an instrument to minimize the danger of its escalation. It will help the law enforcement to be respected and considered by the wider society

Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) are scantly reported with poor contribution by healthcare professionals worldwide and in particular in developing countries. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge and awareness of ADRs reporting and pharmacovigilance system among doctors and nurses in KLEs Tertiary care hospital Belagavi. A questionnaire was designed addressing; awareness of ADRs, knowledge of pharmacovigilance system, availability of ADRs reporting system. The questionnaire was distribute to doctors (n=160) and nurses (n=140) working in hospital. Completed questionnaires were collected, data were analyzed and data were expressed in number as well as percentage. Of the 300 questionnaires circulated, a total of 107 doctors and 107 nurses responded. The percent of the respondents who accepted to enroll in the study was 66.8% of doctors and 76.4% of nurses. Most of the respondents were unable to correctly define the pharmacovigilance term, but they were aware of ADRs. The awareness of the national pharmacovigilance system among doctors was 32.5% and nurses were 37.9%. (42.5%) doctors and (54.3%) nurses follow the reporting system to pharmagovigilance center. Our study has demonstrated a lack of knowledge and awareness of pharmacovigilance and ADRs reporting among healthcare professionals in hospitals. The poor knowledge of ADRs reporting emphasized the urgent need to implement the appropriate strategies to improve the awareness ofpharmacovigilance practices and ADRs reporting in our hospitals

Lupus Miliaris Disseminatus Faciei is an idiopathic granulomatous skin
disease affecting the face. It is also called as Acne agminata or Facial idiopathic
granulomas with regressive evolution. It has a predilection for lower eyelids, forehead,
nasolabial folds and perioral areas. Caseating as well as non- caseating epithelioid cell
granulomas are identified on histopathological examination therefore differentials such
as tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, granulomatous rosacea and other granulomatous disorders
should be ruled out. A thirteen year old female presented with multiple papules
perinasally and periorally around chin. A skin biopsy was performed from the lesion
and sent for histopathological examination. On microscopic examination, a
granulomatous reaction pattern was seen in the dermis. X-ray chest was unremarkable.
Mantoux test was negative. Apple- jelly nodule like appearance was observed on
diascopy. A diagnosis of LMDF was rendered on histopathology after clinical
correlation. The diagnosis of LMDF should be kept in mind in case of papular eruptions
on face not responding to antitubercular treatment. Mainstay of treatment is tetracycline
and oral isotretinoin.

The effects of the financial crisis in America, which happened to be spoken
as one of the most advanced countries, spread from there to the other countries of the
world and none were spared of its effects. For some of the countries, the effect was
immediate whereas in some much smaller countries the effect was slow to come. One
of the countries that have been lately affected by this is the Sultanate of Oman. This is
a small high income economy that is highly dependent on its oil resources. It is a small
member of the OPEC (Organization of Petroliam Exporting Countries) oil-cartel with
a share of only 0.4% of the world‘s proven oil stocks and 1% of the world production
according to the EIU (Economist Intelligent Unit), CIA (Central Intelligence Agency)
World fact book. This reflects the needs for carrying out policy changes in order to
increase its exports and imports as well as to adopt measures whereby a diversification
should be seen on its sources of revenue. Effective trade policies which shall include
Omanization, promotion of the tax policy and improving both the SME (Small &
Medium Enterprises) as well as the tourism industry shall help in the long run to
nullify or reduce the negative impacts of the crisis. Further, if modernization in the
existing political system is brought about and the investment by other countries, along
with promotion of its own cottage industries like production of the Omani Halva, Date
processing and Oudh and Frankincense export increased little if not much can help
achieve to turn around the present scenario.

The policy on the management of Industrial Forest Plantation (HTI) is a great opportunity for the local government of North Gorontalo Regency to develop the potential and quality of forest resources. This study aims to examine the impact of government policies on the management of Industrial Forest Plantation for indigenous peoples in North Gorontalo District. Data collection methods are carried out through survey stages, namely field observations, interviews and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) activities with stakeholders. The results obtained that the Industrial Plantation Forest policy on the one hand have a positive impact, but on the other hand have a negative impact. The positive impact is that it can spur regional and rural economic growth and open jobs to overcome unemployment. In addition, the negative impact is a decrease in community agricultural yields and interventions in the utilization of forest products. It is suggested that the regional government provide assistance and supervision on the policies of Industrial Plantation Forests which cover the ownership of Industrial Plantation Forests and community lands. So that the community has certainty about structuring the HTI work area, and the community can actively participate without causing conflict.

The first successful nephrectomy was performed by the German
surgeon Gustav Simon on August 2, 1869 in Heidelberg. There are various indications
for this procedure, such as renal cell carcinoma, a non-functioning kidney (which may
cause high blood pressure) and a congenitally small kidney. Study period was between
June 2014 and March 2018. Total nephrectomies done during this period were 146.
Nephrectomies constituted 0.94 % of all the specimens received. Among them 94 were
males and 52 were females constituting 64.4 % males and 35.6 % females respectively.
In this study, among the 146 nephrectomies, majority was non-neoplastic lesions (114
cases) and 32 cases were neoplastic lesions. Among the 19 cases of renal cell
carcinoma, majority cases were of clear cell pattern (8 cases), clear cell with papillary
pattern, clear cells with anaplastic areas, chromophil type and chromophobe type, renal
cell carcinoma –sarcomatoid variant. Occurrence of various pathological conditions
such as infective, inflammatory and neoplastic lesions is common and incidental. Early
diagnosis and treatment of the infective and inflammatory conditions will save the
kidneys. In case of neoplastic lesions early identification of clinical features and proper
usage of various diagnostic modalities will limit the Nephrectomies.

This paper deals with a specific and rarely studied issue of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the field of international judicial cooperation in criminal matters. This is the common problem of successfully working with declarations to multilateral legal instruments. In view of this, the aim of my presentation is to find better solutions to this problem by identifying and correcting basic mistakes and unjustifiable omissions in making use of such declarations. For this purpose special attention is given, initially, to the hierarchy of legal instruments: domestic law and international agreements. It is well-known that in Civil Law (Continental-European, Latin) countries, international agreements are applicable directly, without any enabling legislation, and override domestic law which contradicts them. The priority of such agreements is indisputable in such countries. Belonging to this group of countries, Bosnia and Herzegovina makes no exception. As a result, where Bosnia and Herzegovina is a Party to some international agreement, it cannot unilaterally change anything in this agreement: either by means of its domestic law or in any other way. However, when the international agreement is a multilateral convention, Bosnia and Herzegovina is in the position to unilaterally modify it. The sole and irreplaceable means to reach this goal is a reservation or in some sense a declaration to the multilateral convention. Nevertheless, there are cases where the legislation of this country has not taken into consideration the inability of its own domestic law to change multilateral conventions. This makes it necessary to discuss those cases and explain the need of resorting to declarations, in particular, for the purpose of producing the desired result.

India has the World’s largest burden of tuberculosis and approximately 15-
20% of these cases have extrapulmonary disease (EPTB). The diagnosis of tuberculosis
from tissue specimens is usually made by histopathological examination (HPE).
However, histopathology does not always give specific findings and needs more than
one week for final reporting. In 2013, WHO endorsed Xpert MTB/RIF assay for the
rapid diagnosis of EPTB. In the present study the efficacy of this assay to diagnose
tuberculosis from tissue specimens was assessed, taking composite reference standard
(CRS) as reference standard. A total of 63 consecutive specimens of EPTB (June 2016
to May 2017), one showed the growth of non-tubercular mycobacterium on culture and
was excluded from the study. Among the remaining 62 specimens, the most common
were female genitourinary specimens (endometrial biopsies)- 30.64%, followed by
vertebral tissue 29.03% and bone tissue 9.68%. The positivity shown by smear
microscopy and HPE was 12.9% each, culture 14.52% and Xpert MTB/RIF assay
32.26%. The sensitivity and specificity of Xpert MTB/RIF assay in comparison to
culture were 100% and 79.25% respectively. Whereas, CRS which includes smear
microscopy, culture, histopathological, clinical and radiological findings, as reference
standard, Xpert MTB/RIF assay showed sensitivity 64.52%, specificity 100%. This
study suggests that Xpert MTB/RIF assay has good diagnostic potential for the rapid
diagnosis of tuberculosis in tissue specimens, which could help in the timely initiation
of antitubercular treatment and prevention of progression to irreversible changes.

Synovial sarcoma is a translocation associated sarcoma characterized by
SS18 – SSX1/2 fusion. It is one of the common adult soft tissue sarcomas
predominantly affecting lower extremities. In resource poor settings, exact
characterization by molecular methods may not be feasible always. In our study we
attempted to study the clinical profile, histomorphology and immunoprofile of cases
diagnosed as synovial sarcomas. Forty two cases diagnosed as synovial sarcomas based
of presentation, histomorphology and immunopanel were analysed .The median age of
presentation was 26 years with male to female ratio of 1.5:1. Majority of the sarcomas
were of monophasic type (83%) with predominant hemangiopericytomatous pattern
(67%) followed by fascicular pattern (48%). Tumor size was greater in adults older than
20 years when compared to younger age group. Tumors with large areas of calcification
were seen with significantly low mitotic index.

The exploration of antibiotic and antiseptic resistance in the hospitals are
happened by various reasons including continuous usage of same antiseptics and
disinfectants for surface cleaning, inappropriate and misuse of antimicrobials, No
follow up of the patients and discontinuation of the course of drugs. This may create a
demand for new and long term effective drugs against antibiotic resistance. Comparing
to the chemicaly fabricated drugs, metals are considered as the better choice of
replacement. From the ancient times, the basic understanding of antimicrobial
properties of metal particles like silver, mercury, copper and arsenic are quite available
in practice; but their scientific evidences are lacking. Thus this study may provide some
information related to the determination of in vitro antibacterial activity of various
concentrations of silver solution against several bacterial pathogens isolated from
wounds. The evident record of this study highlighted that 10-2 mM silver solution
showed maximum bactericidal effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Providencia rettigeri
and Pseudomonas aeruginosa with 17mm, 16mm and 16mm inhibitory zone
respectively. Other test bacterial species also inhibited but not upto the mark. We may
recommend the high concentration of silver solution in the form of antiseptic spray as
surface bactericidal mask for wound management.
