MSK Diagnostic Ultrasound for the Assessment of the Acromioclavicular Joint
Authors: Manske Robert C , Voight Michael , Page Phil , Wolfe Chris
Published: January 2024

The acromioclavicular joint (ACJ), a key element in shoulder movement and stability, is prone to various injuries such as sprains, dislocations, and osteoarthritis, typically resulting from physical trauma or wear and tear. Accurate and timely diagnosis is paramount for effective treatment and rehabilitation. Musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound has emerged as a pivotal diagnostic tool due to its ability to visualize soft tissues and provide real-time imaging. This non-invasive tool is also invaluable for monitoring healing progress and the evolution of osteoarthritic changes. This article reviews the application of MSK ultrasound in the evaluation of ACJ injuries, highlighting its advantages, specific applications, and recent technological advancements that enhance its diagnostic capabilities.
A One Session Gait Retraining Protocol with Metronome Augmentation Increases Cadence in Novice and Recreational Runners
Authors: Huber Angie , Verhoff Dave
Published: January 2024

Background

Running is a common leisure physical activity that carries a risk for running related injury (RRI). Non-experienced runners are more likely to sustain RRIs. One form of gait retraining focuses on increasing cadence to improve running biomechanics related to RRI. Protocols for increasing cadence must be pragmatic to be implemented into clinical practice.

Hypothesis/Purpose

The purpose of this study was to determine if a pragmatic protocol including one instructional session, followed by independent gait retraining with metronome augmentation resulted in increased cadence and altered biomechanics in novice and recreational runners.

Study Design

Randomized Controlled Trial

Methods

Thirty-three novice or recreational adult runners completed a 12 Minute Cooper Run on an indoor track. Variables measured during the 12 Minute Cooper Run included distance, rate of perceived exertion (RPE), heart rate (HR), and 3-D biomechanics using inertial measurement units (IMUs). After baseline testing, the intervention group received instruction and five minutes of gait retraining at a cadence set 5-10% higher than baseline with metronome augmentation (Pro Metronome- Tempo, Beat; by Xiao Yixiang). They then ran two to three times a week for two weeks up to 30 minutes per session with the metronome set at the new cadence. After two weeks, repeat testing using the same protocol was completed. A Mann-Whitney U test analyzed differences between groups.

Results

Cadence at one minute (p = 0.037) and average cadence over the entire run (p=0.002) increased in the intervention group only with a large effect size (Cohens d = 0.837). No other group differences were found.

Conclusion

A pragmatic gait retraining protocol with metronome augmentation including one instructional and four to six independent sessions over a two-week duration increased cadence without negative effects on HR, RPE, distance. Biomechanics did not change with this intervention. Further research with pragmatic gait retraining protocols that increase cadence are needed with larger sample sizes, repeated measures over time, across runners of various abilities and experience levels.

Published: January 2024

This paper aimed to determine Bacillus cereus prevalence in food and hand swab samples
and its relationship with the level of knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) of the food
vendors in the night market in northern Perak, Malaysia. A total of 140 cooked food and
hand swab samples were collected in this study. About 28% (N = 83) of food and 42% (N
= 57) of the food handlers’ hands were detected with B. cereus. The KAP results of the
food handlers showed a (mean ± SD) moderate knowledge score (73.96±15.79%), good
attitude score (91.61±7.48%), and high practices score (81.70±11.94%). Further analysis
revealed that the attitude of vendors independently influenced their practices. In addition,
knowledge and practice scores were found to be significantly related to B. cereus hand
carriage. Hence, the findings from this study act as an eye-opener for the authorities to
improve awareness of food safety and stress the importance of good attitude and hygiene
practices, especially among small food vendors.

Authors: TUNÇEL Oğuz
Published: January 2024

This study explores the impact of printing parameters on the mechanical properties of 3D printed octet lattice structures using PLA material. Focused on optimizing layer height, print speed, and infill density, the study employed Taguchi methodology. Compressive strength and strength per mass were the key metrics analyzed. The optimized parameters, determined as 0.2 mm layer height, 90 mm/s print speed, and 100% infill density, significantly enhanced compressive strength. Infill density emerged as the most influential factor, contributing to 82.74% of the overall variation. A robust predictive model was developed, achieving a 92.06% accuracy in estimating compressive strength per mass values. These findings provide crucial guidelines for manufacturing high-strength, lightweight PLA octet lattice structures, vital in industries like aerospace and automotive. This study advances additive manufacturing, opening avenues for further research in diverse lattice structures and materials.

News Frames of the Russian-Ukrainian War on the Websites
Authors: Jameel Kareem Farooq
Published: January 2024

This study aimed to reveal the news frameworks of the Russian-Ukrainian war on the (Rudaw) and (BBC) Arabic websites. The study adopted the content analysis method within the descriptive approach, as its sample consisted of all news materials published on the two websites during the first week of the war, for the period between (24/2/2022) until (2/3/2022). The total sample during the mentioned period amounted to (183) news for both sites. The study reached several results, most notably: There are statistically significant differences in the framing of the news of the Russian-Ukrainian war by the both websites. (Rudaw) focused on news briefings, while (BBC Arabic) focused on news reports in the first place. The two sites did not rely on media sources from the two sides of the conflict, while Rudaw obtained information by monitoring the accounts of senior officials of the two sides of the conflict on social media (18,55%). The results also show that the both websites depend on their correspondents and delegates in the manufacture and transmission of news with a very small percentage. While news reports were prepared by the both websites' correspondents from other countries such as the United States, Germany and Britain, not on the battlefield or on the territory of the two warring countries. With regard to the persuasive frameworks used in presenting the news, the results showed that Rudaw was more reasonable and neutral, while BBC Arabic was biased towards sympathizing with the Ukrainians and portraying them as an oppressed people. The main reason for this difference may be the reflection of the official and political position of the funder of both sites, as Rudaw refrained from any attempt to make an impact and attract the attention of the recipient, as it tried in (90,72%) of its news to convey facts and information only, leaving the decision and interpretation to the recipient. Contrasted with (BBC Arabic), which used several terms such as: occupation, invasion, crime, violations, in order to convince the public of its tendencies towards sympathy with the Ukrainians.
Conceptual Metaphor in English Economic News Reports
Authors: Jamal Mohammed Naz , Farooq Jawad Hoshang
Published: January 2024

When the world of economy developed, various reports have been written and published via TVs, radios, websites and the like. The writers of economic news mostly use abstract concepts which usually seem boring and misinterpreted by ordinary people. To make them interested in such news, figurative language is manipulated. One of these rhetorical devices dominantly used in this genre is conceptual metaphor (CM) which is regarded as a vehicle in perceiving the world around us. The present study highlights its salient roles and implications in selected English economic news reports. It aims to identify, analyze, qualify and quantify the patterns of conceptual metaphor: structural, ontological and orientaional, adopted in English economic news reports. To do so, three economic news reports have been selected from Mail Online and U.S. News. The former is a news website in the United Kingdom and the latter is a news website in the USA. The data have been chosen randomly for each type of conceptual metaphor and have been analysed accordingly. The results indicate that the most dominant pattern of conceptual metaphor is a structural metaphor and the least frequent is an orientational one.

La unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) es un lugar definido dentro del centro de salud donde se ofrece atención multidisciplinaria con la finalidad de mantener las funciones vitales de los pacientes que ingresan en ella. A lo largo de la historia de las UCI, los avances en esta área se han concentrado en lo científico y técnico, los cuales han alcanzado grandes logros en la supervivencia de estos pacientes. Por otra parte, se tiene que estos avances, a la par, han favorecido la deshumanización de los cuidados intensivos, dándose paso a la cosificación de la persona y olvidándose así sus necesidades emocionales. En los últimos años, el enfoque de atención en la UCI se ha inclinado hacia la humanización, lo cual representa un gran reto para cualquiera de estas unidades. El propósito de la presente investigación consiste en plasmar las generalidades de la atención humanizada en UCI. El enfoque metodológico de la investigación es una revisión bibliográfico – documental, apoyado por diversas bases de datos, para la obtención de información relevante en base al tema de estudio. De la revisión se desprende la evidente necesidad de humanizar la atención en las UCI. Son múltiples los beneficios que ofrece la aplicación de una atención humanizada en las unidades de cuidados críticos, las cuales favorecen a los pacientes, a sus familiares y al equipo de salud involucrado. Una iniciativa notable en esta área y que ha sido referente mundial, es proyecto HU-CI (Humanización de Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos), el cual pretende permitir una visión integral de la situación actual, manteniendo como centro a la persona. Dicho proyecto nació en España, no obstante, son muchos los países que se han unido a la iniciativa, incluyendo algunos países de Latinoamérica.

Python-based evaluation of road network constraints for electric scooters and bicycles: Izmit Example
Authors: ŞİRİN Ahmet , ERENER Arzu
Published: January 2024

Means of transportation are a large part of our daily life. Along with the development of technology, we encounter different types of vehicles, but we also encounter different problems. For electric scooters, which are one of the new types of vehicles that are seen to be used in vehicle traffic, it seems that there are question marks among the public about the use of vehicles and the rules. It is seen that the legal regulations and rules in this field are not sufficiently standardized in Turkey yet. Among these question marks, safety, comfort, and vehicle characteristics draw attention to which roads electric scooters should choose during their use. In the research, various applications and examinations were made on the parameters of the slope, road class, length of the road, and land cover, among the parameters considered in the optimal road preferences for electric scooters, where there is a starting point and an ending point. For the research, Dijkstra's Algorithm, QGIS GIS software, python programming language, and various modules were used to use the shortest path problem, cost calculations, and various data processing methods. These applications were compared within the Work titles and the effects of different parameters on the optimal route preferences were compared and discussed. The results of the research were discussed in terms of relevance, and it was determined what improvements could be added and what effects it could have on other research that could be done on this subject. As a result, it has been seen that the parameters in the research directly affect the results in the applications in different works, bringing diversity, and the expected results achieved. It has been determined that the addition of additional parameters such as the maximum distance or time that can be traveled for vehicles such as electric scooters, and the use of more sensitive and various sources will further develop this research and its importance in this type of research.
Containers-Based Network Services Deployment: A Practical Approach
Authors: Tipantuña Christian , Yazán Andrés , Carvajal-Rodriguez Jorge
Published: January 2024

In recent years, virtualizing network servicesand functions has enabled optimizing hardware resources onresource-constrained devices, such as CPU, memory, and storage.Traditional virtualization is achieved through virtual machinesusing a layer known as a hypervisor. While this form of virtualization offers advantages such as scalability and portability, it has disadvantages in terms of performance compared to non-virtualized deployments. In this context, alternative virtualization technologies like containers allow virtualization on the same physical infrastructure, improving overall performance, portability, and service scalability. This paper implements the deployment of network services on the Raspberry Pi development platform, which has limited resources. This is achieved through a multi-container virtualization solution using the Docker Compose tool, based on Docker containerization technology. Finally, a performance analysis of the implemented virtualization solution is conducted in terms of resource utilization by each service.
Flow Patterns in Two Nanorefrigerants R600a/CuO and R410A/CuO During the Boiling Process
Authors: Toapanta-Ramos Fernando , Suquillo Elizabeth , Cornejo Carlos
Published: January 2024

The present study aims to know the flow patterns in two nanorefrigerants R600a / CuO and R410A / CuO throughout the forced boiling process in horizontal square pipes. Those are obtained using the thermophysical properties of the refrigerants R600a and R410A in state liquid and vapor, as well as the properties of the CuO nanoparticles. The analysis was carried out using two methods: analytical and numerical. The analytical method was established by formulas and correlations through scientific articles and books to find an improvement in the two-phase heat transfer, under the conditions at an inlet temperature of 8 ° C and with a quality range of 0 to 1. This allowed to verify that by adding nanoparticles to the refrigerant, the transition between the flow regimes increases progressively, while the quality of the vapor decreases. For the numerical method, the different transition limits are specified in a simulation process in the Ansys Fluent CFD Software, under established design conditions, which consequently increases the general efficiency of any refrigeration system.

Authors: Ramírez Leonidas , Rodríguez Nicolás , Simbaña Isaac , Saquinga David
Published: January 2024

In this investigation, the comparative study of the superficial hardness of AISI 8620 steel thermally treated by carburizing, using vegetable and coking coals, was developed. The objective was to propose an alternative to the element used to generate the carburizing atmosphere. The previous stages have been described, such as the preparation of the material and its verification, as well as the dimensions and characteristics, defined by the ASTM E-18 standard. By considering four variables, each one with two levels, an orthogonal array matrix of 16 experiments was generated. The surface hardness measurements were processed through an analysis of variance (ANOVA), where the significance of each variable considered as a factor was obtained. Coking coal can be used as an element for the generation of carburizing atmosphere since a maximum relative error of 3.86 % was obtained between the experimental values and the values in the literature. In contrast, the vegetable coal did not improve the mechanical properties of the steel, reaching an average hardness of 25.95 HRC after heat treatments.
BASES PSICOLÓGICAS DE LA JUSTIFICACIÓN DEL SISTEMA ECONOMICO: UN ANÁLISIS DE CLASES LATENTES

Published: January 2024

La teoría de la justificación del sistema (ESJ) indica que los individuos poseen una motivación para justificar los sistemas sociales a los que pertenecen. La aproximación a este fenómeno permite investigar características de personalidad asociadas a la ESJ. Diferencias individuales como la orientación a la dominación social (SDO) y el autoritarismo de derechas (RWA) pueden constituir la base de la justificación. Aunque se han producido numerosos avances en el estudio del ESJ, la investigación sobre este tipo de relación no tiene precedentes en el contexto Argentino. El objetivo fue analizar si el SDO y el RWA se relacionan con el ESJ. El estudio contó con una muestra de 843 participantes (51,8 % mujeres; 48,2 % hombres), con un rango de edad de 18 a 88 años (M = 46,03; DE = 15,88). Los resultados indican que RWA y SDO se asocian positivamente con ESJ a través del Análisis de Clases Latentes. Por lo tanto, el RWA y el SDO pueden presentarse como la base psicológica sobre la que se sustenta el ESJ.

Authors: Durán-Garzón Gardenia Guisella , Naranjo-Hidalgo Wendy Tamara
Published: January 2024

La dinámica entre las habilidades sociales y el consumo de alcohol en adolescentes ha sido de interés en la comunidad científica debido a que tal consumo se da en edades tempranas durante procesos de socialización, que conlleva una problemática de salud en Ecuador. El objetivo del estudio es analizar la relación entre las habilidades sociales y el consumo de alcohol en adolescentes. La investigación tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo, de tipo correlacional y diseño no experimental-transversal; se usó una muestra de 433 adolescentes de 12- 17 años de diferentes regiones, seleccionada de forma no probabilística mediante el método bola de nieve. Se administró la Escala de Habilidades Sociales (EHS) y el Test de Identificación de Trastornos del Consumo de Alcohol (AUDIT). Los resultados mostraron un nivel bajo de habilidades sociales con valores similares en ambos sexos. El consumo de alcohol presentó un riesgo bajo, sin embargo, el nivel de riesgo no recomendado predominó en las mujeres. Por último, se presentó una relación indirecta entre habilidades sociales y consumo de alcohol. En conclusión, a pesar del bajo riesgo de consumo de alcohol, el manejo de las habilidades sociales en los adolescentes resulta un factor protector frente al inicio del consumo.
The practice and pragmatics of Scandinavian research in rhetoric. Audience studies in Scandinavian rhetorical scholarship
Authors: Kjeldsen Jens
Published: January 2024

This paper demonstrates the connections between certain cultural traits of Scandinavia, a scholarly interest in rhetorical practice and the workings of rhetoric, and a recent interest in audience-oriented research methods. Scandinavia is characterised by a tradition of practical rhetoric, egalitarianism, high trust, and low scores on power distance and masculinity in Hofstede’s culture comparison tool. This, I suggest, is reflected in an interest in the everyday pragmatic functions and workings of rhetoric, paving the way for the use of audience research.
A Rhetoric of Cooperation: How Swedish parties argued in parliament 2015 and 2016 after the migration agreement
Authors: Kiderlen Rebecca
Published: January 2024

The aim of this topos analysis is to identify features of argumentation in Swedish parliamentary debates on asylum policy in 2015 and 2016 compared to German debates. Findings include a focus on procedural rather than substantive aspects and an adaptation of government-like argumentation by cooperating opposition parties. These can be attributed to the focus on consensus and cooperation in Sweden, governed by a minority government, and may be typical of minority governments, common in Scandinavia, in general.
Retoryka zdrowia i choroby w „trosce o duszę” u Platona oraz twórców Corpus Hermeticum
Authors: Tylak Aneta
Published: January 2024

Już starożytni uznawali, że dusza jest najistotniejszym elementem człowieka. Sokrates twierdził, że to właśnie o duszę trzeba dbać, a nie o przyjemności ciała. Jego najsłynniejszy uczeń – Platon – wiele miejsca poświęcił w swoich dialogach pojęciu psyche, twierdząc między innymi, że „cnota byłaby zdrowiem, a zło chorobą duszy”. Pogląd ten, rozpowszechniony w późniejszych wiekach, zos­tał również przejęty przez autorów pism hermetycznych zgrupowanych w tak zwanym Corpus Hermeticum. Wymieniali oni dwie poważne choroby duszy, a mianowicie bezbożność oraz mniemanie, a jako ich źródło wskazywali między innymi przyjemność. Zarówno w przypadku dialogów Platona, jak i traktatów hermetycznych zawarte w nich zalecenia etyczne często wykorzystywały retoryczne porównania z obszaru medycyny, mające na celu obrazowe uzmysłowienie czytelnikom i słuchaczom konieczności właś­ciwej troski o duszę, prawidłowego zdiagnozowania jej „chorób” i wdrożenia odpowiedniej „terapii”. Nie bez znaczenia pozostawała dla nich także kwestia korelacji pomiędzy duszą i ciałem. Celem artykułu jest pokazanie, czym są choroby duszy według Platona oraz autorów pism zawartych w Corpus Hermeticum, jakie jest ich źródło i jakimi sposobami można je wyleczyć, a także próba odpowiedzi na pytanie, jaką rolę odgrywa ich zdaniem psyche w zdrowiu fizycznym człowieka.
„Spowiednik jest to lekarz duszy twojej”: idea medicinae salutis w penitencjałachi poradnikach pastoralnych
Authors: Partyka Joanna
Published: January 2024

Penitencjały, podręczniki praktyki spowiedniczej – to poradniki instruujące duszpasterzy, jak postępować z wiernymi głównie w sytuacji spowiedzi. Teksty te realizują cele retorycznego trybu doradczego (zachęcanie i odradzanie). Ucząc duszpasterzy pracy z wier­nymi, autorzy poradników posiłkowali się rozlicznymi środkami perswazyjnymi. Jednocześnie podawali gotowe narzędzia retoryczne do wykorzystania w trakcie rozmów z penitentami, takie jak: apostrofy, comminatio – zawierająca zapowiedź kary dla „niemądrego lekarza” – oraz congeries, enumeratio, a przede wszystkim liczne amplifikacje poprzez porównania (już sama koncepcja spowiednika jako lekarza opiera się na comparatio). Obok argumentów z analogii i z podobieństwa, powszechnie pojawia się tu argument z au­torytetu: autorzy poradników odwołują się do Biblii i do autorytetu ojców Kościoła. Wiele jest zdań o charakterze sentencjonalnym, wykorzystujących personifikację. Wszystkie te zabiegi zmierzają do uzmysłowienia wiernemu, jak ważną rolę w jego życiu spełnia duchowy lekarz – kapłan. Duchowemu medykowi też jednak grozi kara, jeśli wykorzystując swój urząd, sprowadzi chorego na manowce. Przywołane w artykule źródła pochodzą z różnych wieków (od średniowiecza do wieku XVIII) i z różnych obszarów Europy.

Published: January 2024

We report the archaeological findings from the historic site of Kuchchaveli in the northeastern coast of Sri Lanka, based on our excavations in 2011. The Kuchchaveli complex revealed features of a Mahāyāna Buddhist centre during the 7th and 8th centuries as indicated by the structures and an inscription as well as a number of Buddhist sculptures and carvings. Archaeological material and a radiocarbon date of 1880 ± 30 BP from a test pit indicate an earlier occupation as well. Our excavations offered insights to the structures built at Kuchchaveli and yielded pottery fragments, glass beads, faunal remains and other artefacts of interest. This report highlights findings from six test pits, where two test pits correspond to the possible bodhigara and water tank of the monastery. The similarity of the Kuchchaveli glass finds to those from other sites in Sri Lanka highlights the internal circulation of glass beads during the period that Kuchchaveli was an active site. The faunal remains suggest that a mix of domesticated and wild animals were part of the diet in the community. Apart from being a monastic establishment linked to the southeast coast of India, Kuchchaveli revealed trade activities with other regions over a long period, particularly in the Middle Historic Period of the region.
La couleur comme vecteur des idées politiques dans l’imaginaire social et littéraire francophone africain : cas de La Vie et demie de Sony Labou Tansi
Authors: Bouchedi Nzouanga Benicien
Published: January 2024

Par le vecteur des idées sociales et politiques de la couleur, nous entendons étudier les représentations littéraires qui permettent une saisie corpopoétique de la couleur noire dans La vie et demie de Sony Labou Tansi. Nous analyserons la mise en texte de quelques réalités et pratiques répressives entretenues par les pouvoirs politiques et les dictatures tropicales qui véhiculent une certaine conscience de la violence destructrice engendrée par certaines entités. Dans l’optique de comprendre les enjeux et les mécanismes esthétiques qui sous-tendent les rapports symboliques entre le corps et la couleur dans la représentation romanesque subsaharienne, nous inspirerons des positions interactives de la figure du Guide Providentiel et sa suite ainsi que celles de Martial, Chaïdana et leurs partisans. Nous montrerons d’abord comment les couleurs participent symboliquement à l’identification et la catégorisation sociale et politique dans un espace, ensuite comment la transposition du paradigme de la couleur s’impose aux imaginaires corporels pour produire des discours particuliers.

Published: January 2024

Considering the current and potential opportunities offered by blockchain technology in many areas, it can be understood that how current and future international trade will be affected by blockchain technology will be among the topics
of interest. In this context, it is essential to understand the effect of blockchain technology on international trade for institutions that regulate international trade, businesses, academics and others. This study aims to examine
the effect of blockchain technology on international trade in a scope (Web of Science, Scopus, Science and Direct databases) that has not been previously examined in the international literature. As a result of this research, it
has been understood that the studies in the literature have many effects of blockchain technology, such as cost reduction in international trade, delivery times, performance, facilitation, data security, information sharing and
documentation, reliability of the international commercial credit evaluation system, practices, policies and strategies. In addition, in some studies, it has been determined that there are suggestions on how blockchain technology
can be used in international trade, such as a blockchain-based letter of credit trading process and a blockchain-based logistics platform. This study is expected to provide useful information to explain the impact of blockchain
on international trade.

İstihdam, ülkelerin ekonomik büyümeleri açısından oldukça önemlidir. Birbirlerini etkiliyor olmaları nedeniyle hem istihdam hem de ekonomik büyüme, gerek bilimsel gerekse politika yapıcılar tarafından sürekli araştırılması ve ihtiyaca
göre düzenleme yapılması gereken önemli bir konu olmuştur. Güncelliğini koruyor olması ve bilimsel çalışmalarda sürekliliğin devam edebilmesi için bu çalışmada, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) veri
tabanında bulunan Türkiye ye ait 2023 yılı ilk 6 ayına ait istihdama ait veriler ilk iki çeyreklik (üçer aylık) dönem için incelenmiştir. Bir ülkenin istihdamını etkileyen pek çok değişken olmasına rağmen ulaştığımız kısıtlı değişken
ile çalışma tamamlanmıştır. Bu değişkenler cinsiyet, istihdam oranı ve veri tabanında yer alan istihdam alanları dır. İstihdam alanları ise, tarım, inşaat, inşaat dahil sanayi, inşaat hariç sanayi, imalat/üretim ve hizmetler olarak
sınıflandırılmıştır. İmalat/üretim istihdam alanına ait veri olmadığı için analiz dışı bırakılmış, diğer alanlarda ise istihdam sayısı açısından 2023 yılının ilk iki çeyreği arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark çıkmamıştır.
Ancak istihdam alanlarına göre istihdam sayıları hem ilk hem de ikinci çeyrek de anlamlı bir fark göstermiştir. Bu sektörlerden hizmet sektörü en yüksek istihdam sayısına sahip istihdam alanı olarak belirlenmiştir. İlk iki çeyrek
de cinsiyete göre istihdam oranı incelendiğinde çeyrekler arasında fark çıkmazken, hem ilk çeyrek hem de ikinci çeyrek de erkek ve kadınlar arasında istihdam oranı istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark göstermiştir.
Early Modern/Modern Period Important Thinkers' Views on the Relationship Between Ethics and Politics
Authors: Karademir Züleyha
Published: January 2024

Etik ve siyaset arasındaki ilişkinin, özellikle Batı medeniyeti üzerinden ele alınması bağlamında Antik Çağ ve Yunan düşüncesinin önemli temsilcileri üzerinden değerlendirilmeye başlanması elzemdir. Bu dönemde ahlak “mükemmelcilik”
üzerinden, etik olgusu bağlamında ve önemli bir iddia olarak da ahlaki gerçekliğin koşullarının oluşması için bir siyasal düzeni işaret eder nitelikte bir gelişim süreci geçirmiştir. Belli noktalarda bu anlayış, günümüzdeki mevcut
etik ve siyaset ilişkisin temel parametreleri olsa da modern çağda bu konu üzerine geliştirilen düşünceler de oldukça önemli görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada, etik ve siyaset ilişkisi bağlamındaki görüşlerine yer verilen Spinoza, Kant,
Hegel ve J. S. Mill’in, sadece bu konu üzerinden değil, günümüzdeki birçok sosyal ve siyasal anlamdaki sorun alanlarına ilişkin önemli görüşleri olduğu kabul edilmektedir. İki bölüm üzerinden ele alınacak bu çalışmada, modern döneme
girilirken siyasal, toplumsal ve düşünsel olarak günümüzü etkileyen bazı önemli düşünürlerin görüşleri üzerinden etik ve siyaset ilişkisi ortaya konularak alana katkı sunabilmek amaçlanmaktadır. Ayrıca metinde, ele alınan düşünürlerin
görüşlerini inceleyen yazar ve akademisyenlerin görüşleri ve yorumları üzerinden konu ortaya konulmaya çalışılacak ve bir sosyal bilimler yöntemi olan “derinlemesine içerik analizi” kullanılacaktır. Çalışmanın sonucunda, etik ve
siyaset ilişkisinin bireylerin toplumsal bir varlık olarak hareket etmeleri bağlamındaki öneminin kamu yararı ile insanların erdemli davranmaları çerçevesindeki değerlendirmeleri noktasında önemli bir parametre olabileceği görülmüştür.

Published: January 2024

Malaria is one of the health problems in West Lombok Regency. There are 413 positive malaria cases, so it is necessary to research the models and factors affecting malaria sufferers' recovery. The analysis used is survival analysis using the Cox Proportional Hazard Regression method. The data used in this study is in the form of secondary data obtained from medical record data from all patients with malaria disease in West Lombok Regency from 2019 to 2020, with dependent variables in the form of recovery time of malaria patients and nine independent variables that are suspected of affecting the recovery of malaria sufferers. This study aims
to determine a recovery model for malaria sufferers based on Cox regression and determine the factors that influence the recovery of malaria sufferers in West Lombok Regency.
Based on the survival analysis results with the Cox Proportional hazard Regression method, the best model was obtained with two significant variables affecting the recovery time of malaria patients: the parasite type variable and the incidence of pregnancy or not getting pregnant. The model can be interpreted based on hazard ratio values that the variable type of parasite category Plasmodium vivax has a probability of being able to recover within one month of treatment by 2,542 times faster than Plasmodium falciparum. In comparison, the type of parasite in the Plasmodium mix category has a probability of being able to recover within one month of treatment 1.108 times faster than Plasmodium vivax,  and for the pregnant or non-pregnant variables for the category of pregnant patients had a 2,307 times faster probability of recovery within one month of treatment compared to non-pregnant patients.
