The article aimed to identify the Jordanian experience in applying the concept of contemporary community police. The descriptive analytical approach was used to achieve the objectives of this study. And continuing from the leadership of the Public Security Directorate based on the knowledge of international experiences and the realization of the importance of community police in the success of the public security strategy. Ancient and impartial, and the official statistics issued regarding the crime rate. Among the most prominent international reports are the report issued by the (Gallup) Foundation for 2021 and the report issued by the Global Peace Index for 2022. The study recommended generalizing the Jordanian experience and comparing it with the experiences of Arab countries and developing development to obtain better results. Enhancing participatory work with the local community and encouraging postgraduate researchers to write about the importance and role of community police

Henoch-Schönlein nephritis associated with streptococcal infection and persistent hypocomplementemia: a case report

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Introduction</p> <p>Henoch-Schönlein purpura is a systemic disease with frequent renal involvement, characterized by IgA mesangial deposits. Streptococcal infection can induce an abnormal IgA immune response like Henoch-Schönlein purpura, quite similar to typical acute post-infectious glomerulonephritis. Indeed, hypocomplementemia that is typical of acute glomerulonephritis has also been described in Henoch-Schönlein purpura.</p> <p>Case presentation</p> <p>We describe a 14-year-old Caucasian Spanish girl who developed urinary abnormalities and cutaneous purpura after streptococcal infection. Renal biopsy showed typical findings from Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis. In addition, she had low serum levels of complement (C4 fraction) that persisted during follow-up, in spite of her clinical evolution. She responded to treatment with enalapril and steroids.</p> <p>Conclusion</p> <p>The case described has, at least, three points of interest in Henoch-Schönlein purpura: 1) Initial presentation was preceded by streptococcal infection; 2) There was a persistence of low serum levels of complement; and 3) There was response to steroids and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor in the presence of nephrotic syndrome. There are not many cases described in the literature with these characteristics. We conclude that Henoch-Schönlein purpura could appear after streptococcal infection in patients with abnormal complement levels, and that steroids and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor could be successful treatment for the disease.</p

Genetics of immunoglobulin-A vasculitis (Henoch-Schönlein purpura): An updated review

Immunoglobulin-A vasculitis (IgAV) is classically a childhood small-sized blood vessel vasculitis with predominant involvement of the skin. Gastrointestinal and joint manifestations are common in patients diagnosed with this condition. Nephritis, which is more severe in adults, constitutes the most feared complication of this vasculitis. The molecular bases underlying the origin of IgAV have not been completely elucidated. Nevertheless, several pieces of evidence support the claim that genes play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of this disease. The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region is, until now, the main genetic factor associated with IgAV pathogenesis. Besides a strong association with HLA class II alleles, specifically HLA-DRB1 alleles, HLA class I alleles also seem to influence on the predisposition of this disease. Other gene polymorphisms located outside the HLA region, including those coding cytokines, chemokines, adhesion molecules as well as those related to T-cells, aberrant glycosylation of IgA1, nitric oxide production, neoangiogenesis, renin-angiotensin system and lipid, Pyrin and homocysteine metabolism, may be implicated not only in the predisposition to IgAV but also in its severity. An update of the current knowledge of the genetic component associated with the pathogenesis of IgAV is detailed in this review.Acknowledgements: RL-Mis supported by the Miguel Servet I programme of the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness through the grant CP16/ 00033.

The Impact of a Public Servant’s Escape from Justice in Jordanian Legislation: A Comparative Study

The research dealt with the effects of the public employee's escape from justice in the Jordanian and comparative legislation (Kingdom of Saudi Arabia) in three sections. The first section dealt with the nature of escape from justice. The second dealt with forms of the public servant's escape from justice. The third dealt with the implications of the decision to consider the public servant a fugitive from justice. The problem of the study emerged by discussing the case in which the employee is accused of committing a felony-type crime and escaping from justice at any stage of the investigation or judgment of the crime. It also dealt with the effect of the issuance of the decision to suspend the public servant from work until the court decided the accusation against him/her, and the effect of the acquittal or conviction of the public servant of the charges against him/her. The study reached a set of results, the most important of which is the failure to codify most of the comparative legislation for this situation in the legislation regulating the public service. The researcher made several recommendations, the most important of which was that the Saudi regulator organize the case of the trial of the accused fugitive from justice in the Saudi system of criminal procedures and organize this case in the legislation regulating public service, whether in the Kingdom or in the countries of comparative law
