USING MALMQUIST TOTAL FACTOR PRODUCTIVITY METHOD FOR AGRICULTURAL SECTOR EFFICIENCY OF MIKTA COUNTRIES
Authors: BİLİŞİK Murat Taha
Published: February 2023

MIKTA is a diverse and cross-regional grouping of powers that brings together Mexico, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Turkey and Australia. MIKTA countries are significant economic powers and all are members of the Group of Twenty. Bye the way, agricultural development is one of the most powerful tools to finish extreme poverty, improve shared prosperity, and find food for a forecasted 9.7 billion people by 2050. But agricultural growth, reduction in powerty and food security are at risk. Recent shocks such as COVID-19 related disruptions to extreme weather, pests and conflicts are all affecting food systems, resulting in inflation and increasing hunger. Increasing climate change could further reduce yields, especially in the food insecure regions around the world. So, the research aims whether the agricultural sector performs well or not within the MIKTA countries which are thought of bearing significant importance for their relavant continents. In this meaning, data for MIKTA countries throughout 2018 and 2019 from World Bank has been taken. Here, agricultural land, rural population and rural population percent of total population are inputs. On the other hand, agriculture, forestry, and fishing value added is the output of the DEA model. Then, analysis have been done using Malmquist Total Factor Productivity Method (MTFPM), super efficiency measures have been found out and ineffective countries in MIKTA have been detected.

Tile and ceramic arts, which are intangible cultural assets, are ancient Turkish arts that came to Anatolia with the Seljuks in the past. The arts of tiles and ceramics, which have their roots in prehistoric times and continue their uninterrupted development until today, are among the basic works of human culture. The preservation of these cultural artifacts within the framework of SOKÜM is of great importance in terms of keeping the culture, which is the symbol and identity of past civilizations, alive. Today, it is seen that there is a tendency to new searches in connection with the style, composition order and form of tile and ceramic motifs. These designs, which are completely the product of commercial interests, have created a completely different composition style by including many irrelevant motifs in the composition. Designs now gain an eclectic appearance and lose their originality. According to today's aesthetic understanding, it is necessary to question the art of ceramics and tiles in the context of new products and likely concepts. Ensuring this change without alienating from its essence and identity and creating social awareness in this context can only be possible by protecting and keeping this intangible cultural heritage alive within the framework of SOKÜM.

Published: February 2023

One important aspect of the seismicity is the spatiotemporal clustering; hence, the distinction between independent and triggered events is a critical part of the analysis of seismic catalogs. Stochastic declustering of seismicity allows a probabilistic distinction between these two kinds of events. Such an approach, usually performed with the epidemic-type aftershock sequence (ETAS) model, avoids the bias in the estimation of the frequency–magnitude distribution parameters if we consider a subset of the catalog, that is, only the independent or the triggered events. In this article, we present a framework to properly include the probabilities of any event to be independent (or triggered) both in the temporal variation of the seismic rates and in the estimation of the b-value of the Gutenberg–Richter law. This framework is then applied to a high-definition seismic catalog in the central part of Italy covering the period from April 2010 to December 2015. The results of our analysis show that the seismic activity from the beginning of the catalog to March 2013 is characterized by a low degree of clustering and a relatively high b-value, whereas the following period exhibits a higher degree of clustering and a smaller b-value.
Epidemiological study of thoracolumbar spine fracture patients reported to tertiary care center of Central India
Authors: Ambulgekar Rajesh Kishanrao , Ghag Niranjan Sunil
Published: February 2023

Background: Thoracic and lumbar spine fractures account for 90% of all spine fractures recorded. In low- and middle-income countries, spinal injuries are associated with significant disability and decreased life expectancy. Non-operatively, these injuries can be managed with a thoracolumbar orthosis or hyperextension cast. The operative management with a posterior, anterior or combined approach will offer immediate mobilization and earlier rehabilitation, providing a better environment for restoration of neurological function. Aim of the study was to find out epidemiology of patients with thoracolumbar spine fracture patients.
Methods: A cross sectional observational study was conducted in department of orthopaedics at tertiary care, teaching hospital among patients with traumatic thoracolumbar spine fractures. Epidemiological data variables were collected. In statistical analysis data from 60 patient reported was recorded and analysed.
Results: Fall from height is the leading mechanism of injury among middle aged people (30-60years) with male predominance, accounting for 58.33 percent of all spinal cord injury cases. The majority (45%) of fractures were of the burst kind, followed by compression (28.3%), and then translation/rotation (21.6%). And the most-rare of all was the distracted type (just 5%). An only 15% of patients had had a complete spinal injury, whereas the remaining 85% had sustained incomplete/ no spinal cord injury.
Conclusions: Knowledge about the burden brought on by spinal cord injury makes it clear that preventing such injuries is the backbone of care. preventive measures for high-risk individuals and early definitive response by paramedics can help reducing the load caused by these injuries.

Published: February 2023

Subject. Development and application of a new expansion and mesial protraction appliance for maxilla.

Objectives. Determination of required dental arch width and effectiveness of using a new removable appliance for expansion and protraction of maxilla in different age patients.

Methodology. There were 94 patients with narrow and retro positioned maxilla taken for this study and divided for 2 groups: I group – 61 patients at the age of 8–12 years old, II – 33 patients at the age of 13–16 years old to whom complex diagnostic examination including cephalometries and evaluation of required dental arch width with developed “OZDR-RKPFZ.exe” computer program was applied.

Results. A new appliance for expansion and protraction of maxilla was developed at Nasimov Dentistry in cooperation with Department of Orthodontics of TSDI. In 49 (80.32%) patients of the I group 1 mm and more expansion occurred after only 2 weeks of treatment; in 9 (14.75%) of evaluated in 3 weeks and in 3 (4.93%) of evaluated in more than 4 weeks of activation. On the other hand, in 26 (78.78%) of II group skeletal expansion of 1 mm and more occurred in 2 weeks of appliance wearing; in 5 (15.15%) after 3 weeks and in (9.09%) patients after more than 4 weeks of activation. Mesial traction of maxilla using face mask was also effective in short term.

Conclusion. Expansion and protraction in groups by age showed a greater prevalence of progress in transversal and sagittal dimensions in I-group where skeletal maturation was not finished, although activation of appliance was made more and force component was higher. It shows that using of the new appliance in different age is effective if skeletal maturation is taken to account.

Authors: Chausskaya Irina , Nikogosova Diana , Drobyshev Alexey
Published: February 2023

Subject. The tendency of growing antibiotic resistance causes scientific medical community to develop new antimicrobial treatment protocols. Recently, the increased interest in photodynamic therapy has been noted. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-surgical method of treatment patients with inflammatory diseases and neoplasms in the maxillofacial region, based on the interaction between special light-sensitive chemical compounds — photosensitizers and light radiation. The literature reports the existence of synthetic and natural photosensitizers. Despite the higher stability present by the synthetic photosensitizers, they are more prone to collateral effects. Recently, a growing body of evidence shows the promising applications of curcumin against different diseases, including the pathologies in maxillofacial region. Curcumin is a bioactive compound isolated from the roots of Curcuma longa that has antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. The disadvantage of curcumin is that it is unstable at physiological pH, has low water solubility and is rapidly metabolized by the body.

The objective of this work is to review current research aimed at improving curcumin as a photosensitizer used for photodynamic therapy.

Methodology. The analysis of scientific articles from databases of medical and biological publications — scientific electronic library (Elibrary), PubMed and Web of Science, dedicated to the use of curcumin in photodynamic therapy.

Results and conclusion. The results of modern research in the field of laser technologies presented in this review indicate that photodynamic therapy with curcumin, as a photosensitizer is a promising treatment option in many fields of medicine. The aforementioned scientific studies give the understanding that the study and improvement of delivery systems for curcumin photosensitizer by combining it with nanoparticles is a scientific interest.

Published: February 2023

Diseases of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), manifested in the form of "dysfunctional disorders", are socially significant and are quite common.

Purpose of the study: to find correlations between postural and neuropsychiatric disorders in patients with dysfunctional disorders of the TMJ to improve diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.

Materials and research methods. In the period from 2015 to 2021, 63 patients with a dysfunctional condition of the temporomandibular joint were examined, including 10 men (15.87%) and 53 women (84.13%) aged 18 to 79 years (average age 43.58). A statistical analysis of the results of the examination of patients with a dysfunctional state of the TMJ was carried out using a visual analogue scale, the Spielberger–Hanin test, the depression scale of the Center for Epidemiological Studies and the Kerdo vegetative index. At the first stage, the results of the questionnaire data, subjective and objective examination were processed, which included an assessment of the function of the dental system, determination of postural status and identification of neuropsychiatric disorders. At the second stage, a correlation analysis was carried out between the results obtained.

Results of own researches. In the course of the study, statistical data on 6 parameters of the Hamburg test were revealed. Correlations were found for the prevalence of nosological forms and pathological changes in the examined patients. The study found patterns of postural and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Conclusion. Based on the correlation analysis, it was proved that postural imbalance has a more pronounced effect on the formation of dysfunctions of the ventricular system than neuropsychiatric disorders. Defects of the dentition, increased wearing of the hard tissues of the teeth and secondary deformities, accompanied by a decrease in the height of the lower part of the face, mutually load each other and distort the clinical picture of TMJ dysfunction at the stage of diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
ANALYSIS OF THE STRESS-STRAINED STATE IN THE BONE AND THE IMPLANT--BONE INTERFACE DEPENDING ON THE DIAMETER, LENGTH, ANGLE OF THE IMPLANT AND DIRECTION OF APPLICATION OF FORCE
Authors: Saleeva Gul'shat , Grishin Petr , Saleev Rinat , Kalinnikova Elena
Published: February 2023

Introduction. This article presents the results of mathematical modeling of the stress-strain state in the bone tissue surrounding the implant and the implant-bone connection depending on the diameter and length of the implant in the case of different directions of force application and the implant-bone implant installation angle.

Target. To study the effect of the diameter, length of the implant and the load angle on the stress fields in a three-dimensional implant-bone system with finite elements and determine the effect of the load angle on the stress fields with a change in diameter and length.

Materials and methods. To study the distribution and analysis of the stress-strain state in the bone tissue around implants of different diameters and lengths during dental implantation, a three-dimensional finite element model of the lower jaw was created. Three models were developed using computed tomography and the Universal Surgical Integration System software.

Results. In all cases studied, the maximum stresses were achieved in the cortical bone due to its greater rigidity. However, since cortical and cancellous bone have different strength characteristics, it was necessary to consider the stress in these areas separately.

In the cortical bone, the maximum stresses were always reached near the edge of the hole and the contact with the implant, respectively. In cancellous bone, in many cases, the maximum stresses were noted in the region of the implant apex. At the same time, when the implant is placed at an angle or in the buccolingual direction of load application, the stresses are redistributed in favor of the cancellous bone.

Findings. Thus, in general, it can be concluded that an increase in the length and diameter of the implant leads to a noticeable decrease in stresses in the bone tissue surrounding the implant and in the implant-bone junction. The obtained results demonstrated that implants of small diameter and length, installed in the jawbone at an oblique loading angle, are the least favorable option for stress distribution at the implant-bone interface.

Published: February 2023

El artículo propone analizar el vínculo de las dietas informativas ciudadanas con otras variables de comportamiento político como la sofisticación política (SP), la ideología política (IP) y el interés político (InP). Para ello, se recurre a una operacionalización más compleja que la mera consideración del tiempo de exposición ante contenidos noticiosos, entendiendo al consumo como un conjunto articulado de hábitos intersubjetivos. Evaluando entonces la dimensión ideológica de estas prácticas junto a las características del procesamiento cognitivo de las audiencias, se realizó una encuesta a ciudadanos de Córdoba (Argentina) mayores de 16 años. Por un lado, se encontró que la mayoría recurre a algún medio informativo tradicional, en el marco de una importante tendencia hacia la diversidad ideológica de fuentes. Por otro, se demostró la asociación entre InP y consumo informativo, así como con variables que evalúan la dimensión ideológica. En cuanto a la SP, si bien no se ha demostrado correlación con el consumo informativo de fuentes no mediáticas o mediáticas no tradicionales, se observa un mayor nivel de SP - Integración conceptual entre quienes priorizan conversaciones o redes sociales. Asimismo, se advierte más probable la presencia de diferenciación conceptual entre quienes prefieren medios tradicionales y quienes evidencian una dieta informativa variada.

Authors: Castillo Osorio Gloria
Published: February 2023

El derecho humano a la alimentación al ser una construcción social, cultural, y jurídica nos permite considerarlo como un tema relevante desde los ámbitos internacional, regional y nacional. Los cuestionamientos van en el sentido de saber cómo se garantiza este derecho y cuáles son las responsabilidades de los Estados en el cumplimiento de este derecho. Los alimentos satisfacen una necesidad básica y vital de los seres humanos, involucrando diversas disciplinas lo que le da la característica de complejidad. Se mencionan temas de la situación de los habitantes originarios de los pueblos y las comunidades indígenas de México, poniendo énfasis en la información que contempla el Tribunal Permanente de los Pueblos, en virtud de las continuas violaciones a sus legítimos derechos. Se ofrece una síntesis descriptiva de las leyes vigentes en la materia, con el objeto de conocer los alcances de las obligaciones de los Estados que han suscrito los múltiples documentos internacionales. La producción de alimentos en México aún presenta grandes rezagos, que se acompañan de pobreza e inseguridad alimentaria.

Published: February 2023

The aim of the work is to study pharmacological substances that play a role of eNOS expression regulators in the modification of lead intoxication effects in the experiment.

Materials and methods. In the experiment, linear male rats of the same age were used: intact and with lead intoxication (120 heads). The study design was the following: group 1 – control; group 2 – intoxication with a lead acetate solution; group 3 – intact + L-nitroarginine methyl ester; group 4 – lead acetate + L-nitroarginine methyl ester; group 5 – intact + L-arginine; group 6 – lead acetate + L-arginine. The research carried out the study state of the redox reactions, the content of nitric oxide (NOx) stable metabolites, a lipid profile, the level of NO-synthase (eNOS) expression in the vascular endothelium, the main processes of urination and the activity of Na+/K+-ATPase in the renal tissue layers, as well as in the liver. The results were subjected to statistical processing.

Results. Saturnism caused the oxidative stress development, a decrease in the NOx content in blood plasma, a violation of the L-arginine for eNOS bioavailability, and an endothelial dysfunction. Indicators of the impaired renal function were a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), the tubular reabsorption of water, sodium, and the Na+/K+-ATPase activity. The damage to hepatocytes was evidenced by changes in the activity of organ-specific enzymes in the blood and Na+/K+-ATPase. L-arginine exhibited antioxidant properties, increased the NOx content and the level of eNOS expression. The eNOS L-nitroarginine methyl ester inhibitor showed the effects opposite to L-arginine.

Conclusion. Biochemical markers of damage to kidney and liver cells during saturnism are indicators of the oxidative stress, NOx deficiency and hemodynamic disturbances in them. These mechanisms involved the following pharmacological substances: an eNOS inhibitor, L-nitroarginine methyl ester, which caused a decrease in the expression level of the enzyme, and an eNOS inducer, L-arginine, which increased this indicator severity. The lead toxicity mechanisms have been implicated in the impaired cholesterol metabolism, contributing to the L-arginine reduced availability for eNOS and the NOx production. Therefore, the use of L-arginine can be recommended as a regulator of the oxidative stress and an NO-producing endothelial function in other pathologies.

It denotes a striving for a holistic approach to all areas of life. The writer also introduces the category of a tender narrator who tells a story while emphatizing with all living or unliving beings, thus viewing (and presenting) the world from diﬀerent points of view. Tokarczuk also speaks about the great importance of literary ﬁ ction and her method of writing stories. She tackles important social issues such an animal rights and social exclusion. Her works teach us to be more attentive and tender readers. And in the Nobel Prize acceptance speech, she presents her own, subjective diagnosis of the contemporary world.
“A picture held us captive…”: Or, on what the pandemic has changed and what it cannot change
Authors: Koczanowicz Leszek
Published: February 2023

The article aims to establish how incisive the changes in social reality triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic are. The ﬁrst part examines the distinctiveness of the current pandemic in comparison with other epidemics, and investigates responses to it from within the humanities. The second part focuses on deﬁning the viable criteria of social change. Two such criteria are provided: change in the world-picture in terms of Ludwig Wittgenstein’s philosophy and change in the concept of the reality of reality as proposed by Luc Boltanski. In the following part, these criteria are applied to analyze the debate on the pandemic unfolding in the humanities and social sciences. In the concluding part, the notion of the apparatus (dispositif) is introduced as a useful tool for exploring and depicting the social consequences of the pandemic. When this notion is juxtaposed with the adopted criteria, the epidemic can be seen to change the operative trajectory and the structure of apparatuses and, consequently, to alter the world-picture and the reality of reality as it progresses. While what durable changes (if any) the pandemic will cause cannot be established with any certainty, it can deﬁnitely be expected to enhance the social and political processes which had commenced before its outbreak. In this regard, the epidemic has produced one crucial change; speciﬁcally, communitarians are clearly getting the upper hand over liberals in the long-standing dispute between the two.
Krytyczny potencjał filmu „Parasite” ujętego jako horror społeczny
Authors: Abriszewski Krzysztof
Published: February 2023

Artykuł poddaje analizie ﬁlm Parasite (reż. Joon-ho Bong, Korea Południowa 2019), starając się interpretować go jako horror społeczny. Kontekstem takiego ujęcia są dyskusje na temat społeczno-krytycznego wydźwięku samego obrazu. Rdzeniem zaś proponowanej interpretacji jest zwrócenie uwagi na rolę domu jako obiektu, wokół którego toczy się cała opowieść, oraz uwarstwienia jako dominującej struktury. Przy tym warstwy są tu rozumiane na trzy sposoby: materialny (piętra domu, poziomy miasta), społeczny (wyższa i niższa warstwa społeczna) i symboliczny (materialna warstwa jako symbol usytuowania społecznego). Przemieszczanie się między warstwami autor tekstu określa jako nawiedzanie. Argumentuje, że jeśli traktować Parasite jako formę krytyki społecznej, to trzeba przyznać, że nie dotyczy ona żadnej konkretnej warstwy jako takiej (na przykład bogatych państwa Parków), a samej warstwowej struktury. W drugiej części tekstu analiza Parasite zostaje zestawiona z fazami nowoczesności i formami ideologicznymi.
THE DILEMMA OF ANTICOAGULANT THERAPY IN A PATIENT WITH MECHANICAL AORTIC VALVE AND UNSTABLE INR LEVELS TO PREVENT SECONDARY STROKE – A CASE STUDY
Authors: Au Tsz Yuen , Assavarittirong Chanika , Lis Aleksandra , Baliński Marek
Published: February 2023

Historically, in high-risk patients with cardiovascular disease, anticoagulants have been used in order to reduce the risk of stroke or other ischemic complications. However, despite this seemingly simple solution, drug selection and dosage control may provide a unique challenge when it comes to the anticoagulation therapy of individual patients. In this case report, a patient with multiple underlying conditions and two previous stroke episodes was admitted due to decompensated heart failure and was treated with anticoagulants to reduce the risk of developing secondary stroke(s). The initially prescribed anticoagulative agent, acenocoumarol, was discontinued and subsequently replaced with enoxaparin due to unstable INR and undiagnosed anaemia. Unfortunately, newer anticoagulants were contraindicated in this patient due to the previous implantation of the mechanical aortic valve. This study reveals and discusses the conundrum faced in prescribing anticoagulants to patients with multiple conditions of underlying diseases. Despite the aforementioned hurdles, anticoagulant therapy in these patients is crucial in avoiding potential life-threatening complications, including myocardial infarction and secondary stroke; proper prescription decisions may ultimately decrease morbidity and improve the quality of life of these high-risk patients.

Introduction Understanding the incidence and causality of paediatric hand injuries may be vital in injury prevention, training and treatment priority. However, few papers have addressed this subject. Aim The aim of the study was to identify the epidemiology and cause of hand injuries in the paediatric population. Material and methods The study group in the retrospective study included 291 patients (74 female, 271 male) aged 1–18 years old (mean age = 12.2; SD = 4.5). The cause of injury and diagnosis were taken from the hospital database. Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval was obtained. Results Data on the type of injury was collected and divided into nine groups, seven of which were used in the analysis: 5.2% were dislocations, 8.9% open fractures, 42.6% closed fractures, 12.7% isolated tendon injuries, 18.3% multiple tendon injuries, 4.8% subamputations and 15.4% amputations. Also, 54.5% of all injuries concerned the right upper limb, 45.4% the left, and 0.01% both upper limbs. Sex did not influence the injury incidence. However, age influenced the occurrence of closed fractures (mean age = 9.8; SD = 5.6; p < 0.02), isolated tendon injuries (mean age = 13.3; SD = 4.5; p < 0.04) and amputations (mean age = 10.5; SD = 4.9; p < 0.007). The main causes were sport training (29.8%), agricultural machine accidents (15.3%) and contact with sharp objects (14.5%). Conclusions Our current results show clear age-based trends in the epidemiology and causation of certain hand injuries in the paediatric population. These should be taken into account in special prevention programs.
"Um amor, um amor pelos livros que me fez pegar o risco"

Nossa conversação reanima a seção da PROA: Revista de Antropologia e Arte, cuja edição marca 10 anos de existência.
A configuração de um ícone de nacionalidade
Authors: Nunes Neto Francisco Antonio
Published: February 2023

O texto analisa como as Baianas se converteram em um poderoso ícone de nacionalidade brasileira. Para tanto, acionamos como principais referências as pistas encontradas em algumas pesquisas e alguns estudos, assim como as observadas em outros tipos de representações tais como os textos jornalísticos e as letras de músicas do cancioneiro popular nacionais. Neste sentido, este artigo apresenta em que contexto, em que medida e em quais sentidos as Baianas – mulheres negras egressas de Salvador e cidades do Recôncavo do estado da Bahia – desembarcam no Rio de Janeiro em meados do século XIX, então capital nacional, aí emergindo no imaginário coletivo como porta-vozes de uma ancestralidade que representa uma perspectiva de nacionalidade que anuncia, enuncia, integra e identifica socioculturalmente uma parcela significativa da população deste país. Presença marcante e inconfundível em algumas festas como o carnaval do Rio de Janeiro ou naquelas lidas como públicas e populares da Bahia como a de Santa Bárbara, a do Senhor do Bonfim e a de Yemanjá, as Baianas vetorizam e congregam tradição e modernidade em distintas temporalidades.

Este ensayo visual presenta un acercamiento a las manifestaciones artísticas del ritual dedicado a los ancestros difuntos en una comunidad mazateca de la Sierra Negra de Puebla, México. En un esfuerzo por reivindicar las expresiones artísticas de las festividades indígenas, el registro fotográfico nos permite acercarnos a ellas y compartir su esplendor. En este caso particular, la creatividad individual y colectiva se condensa en la figura de los chonijmó, los muertos que bailan. Mediante la música, la danza y el disfraz, los mazatecos honran su memoria y ponen en marcha su ingenio ritual y performativo.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo identificar el efecto que los recursos de conocimiento del equipo fundador de una nueva empresa de base tecnológica (NEBT) y el acceso a fuentes de conocimiento externas tienen sobre los resultados empresariales. En particular, se consideran indicadores complementarios de resultados a corto plazo (resultado en el mercado exterior, resultado global del mercado y resultados financieros superiores) y a largo plazo (supervivencia de la NEBT). De esta forma, la presente investigación contribuye a comprender si los recursos de conocimiento tienen el mismo impacto (o no) en los resultados a corto y largo plazo de las NEBTs.

Published: February 2023

Quinidine-catalyzed regio- and enantioselective formal [4 + 2]-cycloadditions of 2-(4H-benzo[d][1,3]oxazin-4-yl)acrylates with N-tosyl-2-methylenebut-3-enoates and 2-methylene-3-oxoalkanoates have been developed for the first time. The reaction features the in situ formation of chiral nitrogen-containing dipolar intermediates, a ring-opening/Michael addition/annulation cascade reaction and works well over a broad substrate scope to furnish the tetrahydroquinolines in high yields with high asymmetric induction under mild conditions.
