Page no 265-269 |
DOI: 10.36348/sijog.2020.v03i12.006
Introduction: Eclampsia is an extremely severe form of preeclampsia characterized by sudden onset of generalized tonic-clonic seizures responsible for 17–30% maternal mortality and 22% perinatal mortality. Since then, MgSO4 has been proven to more than halve the risk of occurrence of eclampsia in women with preeclampsia and of recurrence in women with eclampsia. Material and Methods: This is a Prospective study conducted in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Shadan Institute of Medical Sciences, Teaching Hospital & Research Centre, Hyderabad over a period of 1 year. Eclamptic patients who got admitted in department of obstetrics and gynecology. Standard principles of management of eclampsia will be followed. Patients are divided into two groups as cases & control alternatively. Groups are chosen based on inclusion & exclusion criteria. Group I Control will follow Pritchard standard regimen. Group II Cases will receive low dose magnesium sulphate regimen. Result: Among low dose and standard regime groups about 11.4% & 17.1% each had previous history of PIH. Among low dose group, 15% were intra uterine deaths, 20% needed NICU admissions, 10% were early neonatal deaths and none were perinatal deaths. Among standard regime group, 20% were intra uterine death, 30% were NICU admissions, 25% were early neonatal deaths &10% were perinatal deaths. The average birth weight among low dose and standard group was 2.18kgs and 2.02kgs respectively. The mean APGAR score at 5 minutes was 7.21 among low dose and 6.4 among standard regimen. There is no major correlation in both groups with respect to fetal outcome. Conclusion: The occurrence of eclampsia in two groups was more common in the age range of 20 to 26 years among the primigravida and with previous history of PIH. There is no major difference in the outcome of maternal and fetal in both groups. Nonetheless the magnesium levels among low dose group are significantly lower in comparison with standard regimen group. In cases and controls the magnesium levels are maintained in normal therapeutic range. Low dose regimen is better alternative to control seizures in eclamptic patients.

Patient handoffs between the Operating Room (OR) and Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU) are critical for ensuring continuity of care and patient safety. However, these transitions often occur under high-stress conditions and are prone to communication breakdowns, contributing to adverse events and medical errors. This review highlights the significance of standardized communication frameworks, such as SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation), in mitigating these risks. Evidence suggests that structured handoffs improve information accuracy, reduce errors, and enhance patient outcomes. Despite these benefits, barriers such as human factors, systemic inefficiencies, and resistance to change persist. Recommendations include targeted training, technological integration, and fostering a handoff culture emphasizing clear communication. Future research should focus on long-term impacts of standardized frameworks and explore innovative solutions like AI for optimizing handoff processes.

Commanditaire Vennootschap (CV) is a non-legal entity such as a Limited Liability Company. However, the existence of a business entity does not reduce its rights, and obligations as a company recognized by the government, and business community in particular. CV is established based on the deed of the establishment made before a Notary and registered with the Minister through the Business Entity Administration System. With the provisions that the business activities of the CV must be following the 2017 Indonesian Standard Business Classification. The authority of the Notary is given by Law to make absolute evidentiary devices or tools, and therefore the authentic deed is in essence considered correct.

The rise of generative AI has introduced powerful capabilities in content creation but has also surfaced complex legal, ethical, and privacy risks, particularly in the deployment of synthetic media. Traditional DevOps pipelines, while optimized for automation and speed, lack the built-in mechanisms necessary for handling these emerging compliance challenges. This paper proposes a compliance-aware DevOps framework that integrates legal risk management, data privacy controls, and model governance throughout the AI development and deployment lifecycle. Drawing upon a structured literature analysis of secondary sources, the study outlines a methodology for embedding regulatory compliance and ethical oversight directly into CI/CD workflows. Visual models are used to compare traditional and compliance-aware architectures, analyze implementation stages, and map challenges across technical and legal domains. The evaluation reveals that compliance-aware DevOps significantly enhances traceability, privacy assurance, and model accountability without impeding deployment efficiency. However, challenges such as regulatory fragmentation, lack of standardized metrics, and toolchain silos remain. This work presents a future-facing roadmap that emphasizes automation, interoperability, and adaptive risk management to support the responsible deployment of GenAI at scale.

This article is aimed at evaluating and comparison various scenarios of corporate income tax, individual income tax (personal income tax) and value added tax in listed below seven post-Soviet Union republics: Russian Federation, Republic of Belarus, Republic of Ukraine, Republic of Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Moldova. For many decades, economists from the European Union and the United States have regularly discussed such problems as building optimal tax systems, greening taxation, the effectiveness of tax reforms and others. Economists of the post-Soviet space in the 90s of the last century did not have such opportunity. At the same time, there was a very high need for scientific substantiation of the tax reforms being carried out in these countries. To fill this scientific gap, two economists Igor Mayburov from Russia and Yury Ivanov from Ukraine convened the first tax symposium in the post-Soviet space in 2009. Since then, the tax symposium has been annually held in different cities and brought together leading tax specialists from different countries. Each symposium has its own thematic focus, dedicated to the most relevant aspect of taxation for the post-Soviet countries. This scientific focus is declared one and a half years before the symposium. Symposium participants conduct research and thematic monographs are prepared for each symposium. XI International Symposium "Theory and Practice of Tax Reforms", held June 30 - July 6 2019 in Tomsk on the basis of the Institute of Economics and Management of the National Research Tomsk State University. These kind of symposiums have a major aim to understand, explain and find some new solutions to make the taxation system of post-Soviet Union republics more and more developed.
