Transnational Kinship Ties and Welfare State Resistance
Authors: Hautaniemi Petri
Published: March 2023

In contemporary kinship studies, state and family appear to be closely related. This forceful affiliation is a result of complex historical and social contestation where reproduction, socialization and ties of affection are not only naturally intimate but also politically public. Anthropologists have much to comment on this; alas, their educated and comparative observations often go unnoticed. The speakers in this debate more often seem to represent the social policy  rofessions, state bureaucracies and legal expertise.

 

European immigration politics generally are illustrative. The tightening of residence permits and the control of particular migration groups seem to be  emergent trends. Though state policies and the rationales behind them are often promoted as protection against threats like human trafficking or terrorism, applications of this institutional thinking are largely interpreted as acts of discrimination by the migrants or family members involved. Furthermore, less attention has been paid to how the state classifies families and family members, something which is reproducing rather unrealistic ideals and norms for families and kin groups in general. In fact, the criteria of family relatedness for immigrant families differ from those very practices which are assumed to define family within most welfare states in Europe. In this context, I argue, more comparative, anthropologically-informed analysis would be useful.

Published: March 2023

Recently, research on a smart farm that creates new values by combining information and communication technology(ICT) with agriculture has been actively done. In order for domestic smart farm technology to have productivity at the same level of advanced agricultural countries, automated decision-making using machine learning is necessary. However, current smart greenhouse data collection technologies in our country are not enough to perform big data analysis or machine learning. In this paper, we design and implement a smart greenhouse data preprocessing system for autonomous machine learning. The proposed system applies target data to various preprocessing techniques. And the proposed system evaluate the performance of each preprocessing technique and store optimal preprocessing technique for each data. Stored optimal preprocessing techniques are used to perform preprocessing on newly collected data
Price estimation based on business model pricing strategy and fuzzy logic
Authors:   Korean Institute of Smart Media, Obijiaku Callistus Chisom , Kim Kyungbaek
Published: March 2023

Pricing, as one of the most important aspects of a business, should be taken seriously. Whatever affects a company's pricing system tends to affect its profits and losses as wall. Currently, many manufacturing companies fix product prices manually by member of an organization's management team. However, due to the imperfect nature of humans, an extremely low or high price may be fixed, which is detrimental to the company in either case. This paper proposes the developement of a fuzzy-based price expert system (Expert Fuzzy Price (EFP)) for manufacturing companies. This system will be able to recommend appropriate prices for products in manufacturing companies based on four major pricing strategic goals, namely : Product Demand, Price Skimming, Competition Price, and Target population.

Estimation of Greenhouse Gas Emission and Global Warming Potential of Livestock Sector; Lake District, Türkiye
Authors: Kumaş Kazım , Akyüz Ali Özhan
Published: March 2023

The calling on livestock is increasing fast because of the population and economic broadening. In recent years, the contribution of the livestock sector to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change has been a concern. This sector accounts for the second largest share of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions after the energy sector. The storage of animal manure is very important in this respect. Because gases such as nitrous oxide and methane, which are important greenhouse gases, are formed during storage. Therefore, it is very important to focus on this area to make manure management systems sustainable. In this study, greenhouse gas emissions that may occur in the provinces located in the region called Turkey's Lakes Region were estimated using the data on the number of different species of animals published in 2016-2020. Evolution by years has been evaluated on a provincial basis. The global warming potential created by greenhouse gas emissions has been determined. As an animal species in the study; dairy and beef cattle, buffalo, sheep, goat, donkey-mule, meat and laying chicken, turkey, duck, and goose were used. 1567000 tons of CH4 emission has occurred due to the total enteric fermentation of animal origin. The amount of CH4 calculated based on manure management is 22450 tons. The CO2 equivalent amount of CH4 emission due to manure management and enteric fermentation was calculated as 33380500 tons. The total amount of direct and indirect N2O emissions from manure management in 2016-2020 is 12566.10 tons. CO2 emission originating from N2O emission was obtained as 555743.46 tons.

Authors: YAKŞİ Neşe , TOPAKTAŞ Berkhan
Published: March 2023

Background/Purpose: HPV vaccine is critical in the primary prevention of HPV infection and related diseases. HPV vaccination alone reduces HPV infection by 70% and cervical cancer by 48%. Healthcare workers are expected to have sufficient knowledge and positive attitudes and behaviours about the HPV vaccine. This study aimed to determine the knowledge level of healthcare workers about HPV and HPV vaccination and their beliefs and barriers towards HPV vaccination. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 339 healthcare workers were reached by snowball sampling. Sociodemographic form, 'Human Papilloma Virus Knowledge Scale (HPV-KS)', 'Health Belief Model Scale for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) and Its Vaccination (HBMS-HPVV)' were applied online. Results: 254 female (74.9%) and 85 male (25.1%) healthcare workers participated in this study, and 60.5% of the participants were physicians. 94.4% of participants have heard of the HPV vaccine. The most frequently consulted information sources are specialist physicians (57%), social media/TV/Websites (24.4%), and other health workers (23.7%). Twenty-six participants (7.7%) have had at least one dose of the HPV vaccine, and 58% completed three doses. 6.7% of the participants having daughters, and 0.7% of those having sons vaccinated their children against HPV. Women who have had HPV screening (p=0.016), HPV positive results (p=0.033) and pathological cervical cancer screening results (p=0.004), those having 1st-degree relatives or close friends who had HPV vaccine (p

Background

Elderly people are particularly affected by rising systolic blood pressure (SBP). We hypothesized that resting blood pressure (RBP)-reducing isometric exercise training (IET) can be delivered in a group setting with older adults.

Methods

Participants (63–88 years; N = 19) completed IET at 30% maximum voluntary contraction, 3 days a week for 12 weeks. RBP was measured weekly throughout, plus 6 weeks posttraining. Control participants did not engage in IET (N = 5). Changes in RBP were assessed using a 2-way repeated-measures analysis of variance.

Results

IET induced significant reductions in SBP (−10.5 mmHg; P < 0.05), but SBP also declined unexpectedly in the control group (−4.5 mmHg; P < 0.05). Diastolic blood pressure declined in the IET group only (−4.7 mmHg; P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between groups for SBP or diastolic blood pressure (P > 0.05). At 6 weeks posttraining, SBP was still 9.4 mmHg below baseline in the IET group only. A unique finding was that the clinically significant RBP reductions persisted for 6 weeks after IET.

Conclusions

Handgrip IET may be an effective antihypertensive intervention, which persists for several weeks in older adults, even when training ceases.

Differential expression of SLC7A11 in colorectal cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: March 2023

Cancer is a leading cause of death and colorectal cancer is among the most lethal cancers (1, 2). We mined published microarray datasets (3, 4) to determine in an unbiased fashion and at the level of the transcriptome genes most differentially expressed in the primary tumors of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC). We found significant differential expression of the gene encoding solute carrier family 7 member 11, SLC7A11, when comparing colorectal tumors to the tissue of origin, the colon. SLC7A11 mRNA was present at significantly higher quantities in tumors of the colon as compared to normal colorectal tissue. Analysis of human survival data revealed that expression of SLC7A11 in rectal tumors was correlated with overall survival in patients with rectal cancer. SLC7A11 expression changes may be important for the initiation or progression of human CRC.

On the misery of cognitive effort
Authors: Chen Jiazhou , Huys Quentin JM , Stringaris Argyris , Nielson Dylan M
Published: March 2023

The effect of cognitive effort on mood is unclear. Expending cognitive effort is generally avoided but expenditure of cognitive effort is the primary feature of some popular recreational activities, such as sudoku or video games. However, one common confound is that previous studies mostly looked into mood changes before and after cognitive effort manipulation. Therefore, it is unknown what im- mediate impact cognitive effort has on momentary mood. To investigate this, in two studies, we used a letter sorting paradigm to test whether momentary mood ratings change with different levels of experimentally manipulated task difficulty. In study 1 (N = 105), we found that increased difficulty, and consequently cogni- tive effort, leads to more errors and lower mood ratings. In study 2 (N = 210), we replicated our results from study 1 and further demonstrated that cognitive effort influences mood independently from immediate reward. In conclusion, controlling for reward conditions, we found that cognitive effort reduces people’s moment to moment mood.
Yves Congar as a Precursor to Catholic Principles of Ecumenism
Authors: Pielka Paweł
Published: March 2023

The author analyzes the work Chrétiens désunis. Principes d’un «œcumenisme» catholique by Yves Congar (1937) and shows why the French Dominican can be considered a precursor of ecumenism in the Roman Catholic Church. The argument is based on defining the nature of the reunification process, its starting point, the goal of the reunification, and the way in which the relationship between Catholicism and ecumenism is framed. In lieu of the then valid concept of conversion on the basis of the Catholic Church, or the simple absorption of individuals by the fully formed Church, the French theologian proposes a complement or integration into the unity of the Church. As a result of this process, the united Church would be no other body than the present Catholic Church but it would be richer and more complete.

Edmund Burke i ikonologija pandemije u medijskim slikama i suvremenoj umjetnosti
Authors: Podnar Ivana
Published: March 2023

Rad istražuje ulogu medijskih, umjetničkih i verbalnih slika pandemije bolesti COVID-19 u stvaranju osjećaja straha i užasa koji djeluju paralizirajuće na pojedinca, povezujući ih s pojmom uzvišenog Edmunda Burkea. Uvažavajući interpretaciju Williama J. T. Mitchella o Burkeovu razlikovanju umjetničkog i političkog uzvišenog, analizira se revolucionarni potencijal djelovanja slika odnosno njegov izostanak. Medijske slike sadrže jasan ikonografski obrazac koji uključuje temeljne Burkeove karakteristike uzvišenog: mračne su i opskurne te utjelovljuju najsnažniji od svih strahova — strah od smrti. Analiza umjetničkih slika pokazuje dominaciju lišavanja kao još jednog važnog aspekta uzvišenog, a stvara osjećaj usamljenosti i tišine. Metaforički jezik diskursa koji prati pandemiju pojačava paralizirajući učinak medijskih i umjetničkih slika, stvarajući mentalne slike virusa kao subjekta koji napada, širi se, prijeti… Slike su sveprisutne i izložene konzumiranju, pojedinci ne okreću glavu od prikazanih užasa, već doživljavaju empatiju koju Burke smatra ključnom za integraciju u društvo. Istodobno, društvo se lišava političkog potencijala kroz fragmentaciju u niz izoliranih jedinki koje komuniciraju posredstvom tehnologije.

Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND

Nerve injuries during carpal tunnel release (CTR) are rare. Electrodiagnostic (EDX) and ultrasound (US) studies may be helpful in evaluating iatrogenic nerve injuries during CTR.

OBSERVATIONS

Nine patients sustained a median nerve injury, and 3 patients experienced ulnar nerve damage. Decreased sensation occurred in 11 patients, and dysesthesia occurred in 1 patient. Abductor pollicis brevis (APB) weakness occurred in all patients with median nerve injury. Of the 9 patients with median nerve injury, the compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) of the APB and sensory nerve action potentials (SNAPs) of the 2nd or 3rd digit were not recordable in 6 and 5 patients, respectively. Of the 3 patients sustaining ulnar nerve injuries, the CMAPs of the abductor digiti minimi (ADM) and SNAPs of the 5th digit were not recordable in 1 patient; 2 patients showed prolonged latency and decreased amplitude of CMAPs/SNAPs. US studies of 8 patients with a median nerve injury showed a neuroma within the carpal tunnel. One patient underwent surgical repair urgently, and 6 did so after variable intervals.

LESSONS

Surgeons should be cognizant of nerve injuries during CTR. EDX and US studies are useful in evaluating iatrogenic nerve injuries during CTR.

BACKGROUND

Pituitary apoplexy (PA) is characterized by sudden headache, vomiting, visual dysfunction, anterior lobe dysfunction, and endocrine disorder due to bleeding or infarction from a pituitary adenoma. PA occurs in approximately 0.6–10% of pituitary adenomas, more commonly in men aged 50–60 years, and more frequently in nonfunctioning and prolactin-producing pituitary adenomas. Further, asymptomatic hemorrhagic infarction is found in approximately 25% of PA.

OBSERVATIONS

A pituitary tumor with asymptomatic hemorrhage was detected on head magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Thereafter, the patient underwent head MRI every 6 months. After 2 years, the tumor was enlarged and visual dysfunction was noticed. The patient underwent endoscopic transnasal pituitary tumor resection and was diagnosed with a chronic expanding pituitary hematoma with calcification. The histopathological findings were very similar to those of chronic encapsulated expanding hematoma (CEEH).

LESSONS

CEEH associated with pituitary adenomas gradually increases in size, causing visual dysfunction and pituitary dysfunction. In case of calcification, total removal is difficult due to adhesions. In this case, calcification developed within 2 years. A pituitary CEEH, even when showing calcification, should be operated on, as visual function can be fully recovered.

Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas L.) is a nutrient-dense root crop that is high in antioxidants. However, consumption was observed to decline, mainly as a result of the limited post-harvest processing methods. The boiling method is commonly used, however, leaching of the essential nutrients into the boiling water affects its nutritional value. Therefore, the objective of the study was to investigate the effect of various processing techniques on the nutritional value of the orange fleshed ‘Bophelo’ sweet potato cultivar. A 2 × 3 factorial experiment, arranged in a completely randomized design (CRD), was conducted. Factors A comprised 2 preparations (unpeeled and peeled) methods and factor B comprised three processing (boiling, deep-frying and roasting) methods, which served as treatments, in triplicates. The unprocessed, raw-peeled and unpeeled samples represented the control. Data on vitamin C, beta carotene, total phenolic, starch and protein were determined and recorded. In the peeled form, roasted samples had the highest nutritional accumulation (vitamin C 21.03 mg/100 mL, beta-carotene 64.6 μg/100 g, starch 5.86 g/mL and protein 0.3 mg/L), whereas in the unpeeled form, higher total phenolic (80.7 mg/GAE/g) was retained. The deep-frying method favoured vitamin C (10.00 mg/100 mL) and starch (13.6 g/mL) in the peeled form, but in the unpeeled form, beta-carotene (32.0 μg/100 g), total phenolic (66.2 mg/GAE/g) and protein (1.5 mg/L) were retained. The boiling method retained low levels of vitamin C (3.35 mg/100 mL), beta carotene (54.8 μg/100 g), total phenolic (43.5 mg/GAE/g) and protein (1.3 mg/L) in peeled forms, whereas starch (8.59 g/ml) was retained in the unpeeled samples. In conclusion, the roasting method demonstrated high retention of the tested nutritional value in ‘Bophelo’ sweet potato samples.

Published: March 2023

Topicality. The development of biofuel engineering in Ukraine demands to cultivate the agrofuel crops as renewable energy sources. The sugar-fodder hybrids created using high-value sterile forms of sugar beet and fertile forms of fodder beet may hold promise for biofuel feedstock production. Purpose. Develop experimental sugar-fodder beet hybrids with high energy yield, suitable for alternative biofuels production, and select the best ones. Materials and Methods. 6 pollen-sterile breeding lines of sugar beet and 23 selection numbers of fertile fodder beet were used to create the sugar-fodder hybrids. The breeding process comprised the following steps: selection of initial parental lines, evaluation them by combining ability, and, based on the best, formation of the hybrids. Method of multi-tester top crossing was applied and field trials of the experimental hybrids held. Results. The parent components varied significantly in energy yield, which ranged within 53.5–61.5 GJ/ha (for the MS-samples) and from 80.0 to 87.8 GJ/ha for the top 4 pollinators. On completion of the tester crosses, the following have been selected: MS-samples of the sugar beet lines MS Iv. 24869 and MS Iv. 2484 with proven significant effects of general combining ability at 6.7 GJ/ha and 4.0 GJ/ha; and pollinators of the fodder beet varieties Halytskyi and Lvivskyi zhovtyi – at 8.0 GJ/ha and 6.5 GJ/ha, respectively. In the genotypic structure of variability of the “energy output” trait, the total share of the influence of valuable additive gene complexes of parental samples (51 %) was almost equivalent to the share of non-additive interaction of components (49 %). Conclusions. By the method of combinative selection, three new genotypes of sugar-fodder hybrids have been developed, with energy output rate higher than 120 GJ/ha, suitable for the biofuel production from renewable sources. These are the genotypes MS Iv. 24869/k 41/42; MS Iv. 24869/k 13/14; and MS Iv. 24869/s. Lvivskyi zhovtyi, with indicators exceeding the standard by 14.3 %, 15.4 % and 8.5 %, respectively.

Topicality. Today, in the context of environmental and economic crises in the world, attention to the use of the potential of agroecosystems and minimization of the pesticide and agrochemicals load has increased. For this purpose, the use of environmentally safe plant growth stimulants and the latest microfertilizers is one of the most promising methods in crop production. Scientific substantiation and adaptation to the soil and climatic conditions of a particular growing zone, as well as studying the impact of bioactive products on varietal characteristics of the crop are needed to improve the environmentally safe technology of soybean cultivation. Purpose. For increase of productivity by 15–20 % and biologization of crop cultivation , it is necessary to determine the best variants of combining mineral fertilization with foliar dressing, seed and crops treatment with bioactive products for soybean varieties. Methods. Field method, quantitative-weight, laboratory, mathematical and statistical methods was used. Results. We determined that the activity of nitrogen-fixing symbioses formation on soybean largely depends on the method of treatment with bioactive substances, in particular, stimulants of Vympel brand and Orakul microfertilizer. When processing soybeans with biologically active drugs, the mass of nodules increases much more intensively than their number. The increase in the mass of bubbles was up to 50.7 % in the Diadema Podillia variety and up to 60.8 % – in the Samorodok variety. The application of the investigated methods of seed treatment and foliar dressing ensured an increase in the soybean seed yield of the Diadema Podillia variety by 4.4–42.7 %, and of the Samorodok variety by 4.7–44.4 %, depending on the level of mineral nutrition. Conclusions. Growth stimulants of Vympel brand and Orakul microfertilizers are effective for increasing yields, enhancing nitrogen fixation soybean. The use of bioactive products can serve as an important element of economic and environmentally safe technologies for growing soybeans, which can reduce the impact of stress factors on plants, in particular, the lack of fertilizers.

The role of multi-detector CT (MDCT) in patients presented with non-traumatic acute abdominal conditions
Authors: Abd-Zaid Akool Mohammed
Published: March 2023

Background: Acute abdominal pain classically refers to pain within the abdomen that has been present for less than 7 days from the time of presentation. The use of CT scan in the evaluation of acute abdominal pain has increased to a large extent due to high accuracy of CT in the diagnosis of specific diseases like appendicitis and diverticulitis, especially with the use of multidetector CT scanners. It has been shown that the use of intravenous contrast media increases the diagnostic accuracy of CT scan examination, with a positive predictive value of 95% in the cases of acute appendicitis. The accuracy of CT scan imaging in patients with acute abdominal pain was not affected by the lack of entral contrast material.Objectives: To evaluate the real usefulness of multi-detector CT( MDCT) in non-traumatic acute abdomen, to determine the cause of acute abdomen in those with uncertain pathological diagnosis.Patients and methods: This prospective study had been conducted at Al-Sader medical city from the first of January to the first of September 2015. Our study includes all patients presented to the emergency department with non-traumatic acute abdominal conditions with uncertain underlying cause inspite of detailed history and physical examination with negative or non-conclusive U/S, plain abdominal XR finding and the surgeon failed to identify the exact underlying pathology. This study included (80) patients, (44 male and 36 female) . Non-enhanced CT scan was done first for all patients which was sufficient to reach the diagnosis in (22) patients, contrast material were not used because blood urea was elevated in (6) patients . In (8) patients, CT angiography protocol was performed for patients with suspected mesenteric vessels pathology. In the remaining (44) patients, intravenous contrast was given manually via a wide bore cannula ( gauge 18) and post contrast scan done in the portal phase (delay time 45-50 second).Results: In this study, which was performed on (80) patients with undiagnosed nontraumatic acute abdominal conditions. We found that acute pancreatitis (20 patients)(25%) was the most common cause of undiagnosed acute abdominal pain, followed by intestinal obstruction (12 patients)(15%).While acute cholecystitis (8 patients)(10%) , portal or mesenteric vein thrombosis (8 patients ) (10%) , perforated viscus ,(6 patients)(7.5%), mesenteric arterial thrombosis (4 patients) (5%) ,left gastric artery aneurysm (2patient))(2.5%) , acute appendicitis(2 patient ) (2.5%)diverticulitis (2patient) (2.5%) and ectopic pregnancy (2patient) (2.5%). In (14 patients) (17.5%), no specific pathology could be detected.Conclusion: The role of multi-detector CT (MDCT) has an important role in the management undiagnosed acute abdominal conditions in the emergency department. Acute pancreatitis is one of the main cause of undiagnosed acute abdominal conditions.
