Local Destruction

At present, the current legislative and regulatory documents do not contain a clear and unambiguous answer to the question, what buildings and structures should be designed resistant to progressive collapse. In this regard, the analysis of the legal and regulatory requirements of the need for calculations to prevent the progressive collapse of buildings and structures due to hypothetical or suspected local destruction is presented. The main legislative requirements of technical regulation in the field of ensuring the mechanical safety of buildings and structures, as well as the requirements of regulatory documents regarding the design of the protection of building and structures against progressive collapse are considered. The analysis of the fundamental principles features of the calculation for the structural protection against progressive collapse is given. Some issues discussed by the professional community in the direction of possible ways of solving the actual problems of the presented problem are considered. The conclusion is made about the need for further dialogue of the professional community on the development of a common position on the protection of buildings and structures from progressive collapse, which should be reflected in the legislative and regulatory requirements.

Post War

In examining the efforts of European socialists to forge a common position towards the issue of post-war empires, this chapter highlights some of the political stakes involved in decolonization. As debates between European and Asian socialists suggest, the process of decolonization witnessed a struggle between competing rights: national rights, minority rights, and human (individual) rights. Each set of rights possessed far-reaching political implications, none more so than minority rights, as they were often associated with limits on national sovereignty. These limits could be internal, such as constitutional restraints on the working of majority rule; but they could also take the form of external constraints on sovereignty, including alternatives to the nation state itself. The victory of the nation state, in other words, was inextricably tied to the defeat of minority rights as well as the growing predominance of human rights.

Foreign Policy Strategies

The international order today is characterised by power shift and increasing multipolarity. Countries such as India and Vietnam are working to consolidate the evolving multipolarity in the Indo-Pacific. The article maps the convergences in the Indian and Vietnamese foreign policy strategies and in their approaches to the Indo-Pacific. Both countries confront similar security challenges, such as creeping territorial aggression. Further, India and Vietnam are collaborating with the United States and Japan to maintain a favourable balance of power in the Indo-Pacific. While Delhi and Hanoi agree on the need to reform the United Nations, there is still some distance to travel to find a common position on regional economic architectures. The India–Vietnam partnership demonstrates that nation-states will seek to define the structure of the international order and in this instance by increasing the intensity of multipolarity.

in Reply.— Dr Pinheiro correctly points out that alternative positions for performance of lumbar punctures in newborns have been shown to result in less physiologic perturbation than the position for lumbar puncture used in our study. Although we did not select specifically to study the fully flexed lateral position, it was the most common position for lumbar punctures in our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the time our study was conducted.

Operative Findings

Introduction: The diagnosis of acute appendicitis has essentially been clinical, but USG abdomen has been said to be highly accurate in diagnosing AA. The surgeon’s perspective may not always be the same. Materials and methods: Appendectomy data of 106 patients from two hospitals of Kangra region was retrospectively analysed. The data was collected for age, sex, initial pre-operative diagnosis, USG findings, intra-operative findings, Histo-pathological examination (HPE) report, post operative hospital stay. Observations: It revealed a sensitivity of about 54% and specificity of 100% for diagnosing AA with the help of USG abdomen. AA was seen most commonly in males as compared to females. Mean age of presentation was 29.34 +/- 14.4 years. Mean hospital stay was 3.68 +/- 2.25 days. Most common initial preoperative diagnosis was AA (84%). Most common position of the appendix during surgery was retrocecal (53.7%). HPE report revealed AA in 105 patients. Conclusion: USG abdomen is often falsely assuring, leading to unnecessary delay in effectively managing a patient of AA further leading to increased complications. Only the clinically equivocal cases require further radiological investigations where CECT abdomen is the preferred investigation, but it should be used judiciously.
