Abstract

This paper discusses about the regulation of immunity rights that are given to government officials in theirresponse to the outbreak of COVID-19 in Indonesia, seen from the perspective of guilt theory and publiclaws. This right to legal immunity was created with the issuance of Government Regulation in Lieu of Law(Perppu) Number 1 of Year 2020, which was approved and enacted by the People’s Representative Councilof the Republic of Indonesia into law by the ratification of Law Number 2 of Year 2020. Article 27 explicitlystates that government officials, in their execution of this Government Regulation in Lieu of Law, cannotbe prosecuted civilly or criminally if the execution of their tasks is based on good faith and is in line withthe stipulations of legal regulations. This paper uses the normatif legal research with the statute approachand the conceptual approach. The research results shows that there is a certain recognition of regulationsregarding immunity rights. This is affirmed by a verdict of the Constitutional Court, by which accordingto the Constitutional Court, regulation of immunity rights is not in conflict with the concept of rule of law,with several conditions. In addition, although several stipulations in Indonesian positive law that provideimmunity prevent a person from being prosecuted criminally while performing their duties, at a practicallevel, the specifically provided immunity is meaningless if the person in question fulfills the elements of anarticle that stipulates a criminal act, because the intention of a person is the essence of an act, and judges incourt will decide the matter.

Abstract

Identification is determination of the individuality of a person based on certain physical characteristics andis of importance in solving criminal as well as civil cases on a regular basis. Examination of fragmentaryremains by a doctor can aid the police in complete identification of an individual. Cephalic index is onesuch parameter that can help in identification of the individual. Cephalic index (CI) and head shape aregreatly affected by geographical, sex, age and racial factors. Such data is of great medico legal and forensicimportance which indicates that cephalic index can be used as marker of ethnicity. There have been variousinstances where the race of the individual bone has to be ascertained in solving issues related to forensicor archaeological importance where Cephalic index is an important tool to determining the race and sex ofan individual whose identity is unknown. This study was carried out to determine Cephalic index of 400healthy individual, including 200 Male and 200 Female individuals between 17 years to 20 years the of age,from the Nimad region of Madhya Pradesh.

Abstract

Manipulating government medical data is one of the intentional crimes that occur on medical informationaldata, whether by intentionally introducing misleading and wrong information or deleting and amendingthe data to change the truth. Despite the existence of laws to criminalize these acts, whether in Iraqi lawor comparative law in general, in addition to the international conventions that oblige countries to developlegal texts to combat cybercrimes. Therefore, there are problems related to the activation of texts associatedwith manipulating government medical data, especially data on infection with Coronavirus. Providing somecountries with misleading or incorrect information that does not reflect the current reality must be put to anend, especially since this disease is a fatal and dangerous disease that transmits very quickly and must beaccurately determined without any tampering with the governmental medical data.

Abstract

It is well recognized that certain types of medications for treatment of antihypertensive , known as Calciumchannel blockers (CCBs) and calcium ion antagonists are two types of calcium ion antagonists., only workby blocking the free passage of Ca+. Nifedipine, amlodipine, felodipine, diltiazem, and other medicationsare among them..Fifteen Adult male mice weighing 180-250 gm were randomly divided into three groupsand housed at the College of Science’s animal house, where they were fed a regular mice diet of water andpellets ad libitum.. Tthe control group (n=5) were treated with 1ml of distilled water, the 2nd group (n=5)were treated orally with 20 mg/kg body weight of Nifedipine while the 3rd group (n=5) were treated orallywith 60mg/kg by oral gavage for 35 days body weight of Nifedipine. The treatment was discontinued for 24hours before the animals were sacrificed..The data indicated biochemical parameters alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were found nonsignificantincreased in kidney and testicular tissues,but hematological parameters no any variance has been shownin both Hb,PCV,RBC, HCT, MCV, RDW and platelets in all test groups, whereas MCHC did show majorincreases in both dosage groups of nifedipine, but WBCs count data suggested a decrease in 20mg/Kgdosage only.We showed that nifedipine could reduce lymphocyte counts Substantial increases in monocyteand neutrophil counts were achieved at doses of 60 mg/kg BW when compared to the control group, andsignificant increases in monocyte and neutrophil counts were achieved at doses of 20 BW when comparedto the control group.,Above results indicate that the variations caused by nifedipine drug can have slightnegative effects on the parameters of kidney, testis enzymes and hematological parameters.

Abstract

Breast and nipple thrush (BNT) is a yeast infection of the nipple and breast caused by a fungal organism knownas Candida albicans, a common cause of all thrush infections. It occurs most commonly in breastfeedingmothers. The infection may lead to severe nipple and breast pain, especially during breastfeeding. Thecurrent study was conducted at Al-Kut hospital for Gynecology, obstetrics and pediatrics, and TaibaSpecialist Centerin Wasit province. (162) milk samples were collected from lactating wommen suspected tohave mammary candidiasis infections according to the clinical manifestations diagnosed by the examiningphysician and patient with symptom , then, the samples were examined by optical microscopy and celldetection which show evidence of the presence of pathogenic yeast. Samples were cultured in sabouraudagar and then in chrom agar to classify the organisms, and they were held for further conformation and todetect the most common virulence factor gen by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) Molecular identificationof Candida spp in this study, done by conventional PCR by partial amplification gene encoding for largesubunit of 18S rRNA gene by specific primer sequences. The yield of the detection C. albicans and C.parapsilosis, was 37/37(100%) (100%) and 15/15 (100%), respectively. The results of PCR amplificationof( SAP1-8)genes in Candida isolates (61) were SAP1 gen was present in 61/61(100%) , SAP2 gen was54/61(96%), SAP3 gen was 45/61(86%), SAP4 gen was 35/61(76%), SAP5 gen was 32/61(66%), SAP6 genwas 45/61(60%), SAP7 gen was 35/61(30%) and SAP8 gen was 21/61(34%). By molecular technique usingPCR (PLB1-2 gene) and sequencing, it was seen that Seventeen isolates belong C. albicans were positivefor PLB1 gene 17/61 (91.6%). Fourteen isolates belong C. albicans were positive for PLB1 gene 14/61.

Abstract

Fasciola hepatica metazoan trematodes parasite that is living in the liver of their host (sheep, goat andhuman). It usually cause pathological changes in the parasitized organs. Acetone powder technique is usedto prepare partially purified organic material of adult worms. Various concentrations of Fasciola hepaticaacetone extract (5 mg/ml, 10 mg /ml , 15mg/ml , 20 mg/ml and 40 mg /ml) are used on human lymphocyteculture for studying some chromosomal aberration. Chromosomal aberrations includes Isogap, Breaks andDicentrics for chromosomes; Gaps and deletion for chromatids; and mitotic index (MI). This In-vitro studyrevealed that acetone powder extract of Fasciola hepatica parasites causing various genotoxicity effects inthe human lymphocyte cells. These effects are ascending in their increasing in significance differences (P<0.001) for all treatment against control as concentration of acetone extract is increased.

Abstract

Yucca gloriosa Variegata L. is a stemless. The whole plant of Y. gloriosa L. has vast medicinal uses. TheNative Americans and North New Mexico used a tea from the leaves and roots to treat asthma, headache,wound healing. As well as it was being consumed as daily dietary. All part of Y. gloriosa L. is rich in saponinsteroidal glycosides. Saponin extracts are well-known to be highly toxic. Hence, present study was carriedout to investigate the toxicity of saponin and estimate the LD50 value which helps in determining the safedose range for the drug that be used, as well as to determine hematological aspects and examine histologicaleffect. Different concentrations of saponin extract were injected into male mice (10,000, 8000, 6000, 4000,2000, 1600, 1200, 600, 300) mg/kg. The LD50 value of the saponin extract was estimated to be (3100mg/kg).Hematological study was assessed by using various hematological parameters like RBC, WBC, LYM, MID.Complete blood pictures of the treated mice indicated an evident leukocytosis and erythrocytopenia effectof the drug. Treated-mice kidney tissues specimens were examined microscopically indicated clear signs ofheavy inflammation, necrosis and swelling of renal tubes, degeneration of renal tubes as well as hyaline andhemorrhagic cast at high concentrations of leaves extract.
