Authors: Meekaew Nattapon , Jongnimitsataporn Petcharat
Published: April 2023

Understanding pros and cons of digital technology is an essential competency for pre-service teachers so that they are able to conduct online instruction appropriately. They need to prepare themselves comprehensively to be able to use the new educational technology that is now widely accessible particularly since the Covid-19 pandemic incidence. This paper investigates the relationship between individual characteristics, digital self-efficacy, and digital citizenship among pre-service teachers in higher education. Cluster sampling was used to select 384 pre-service teachers from three higher education institutes located in the northeast of Thailand. A research tool used in the research was an online questionnaire. The data analysis utilized descriptive statistics, the Chi-square test, and the Pearson correlation. The research discovered that pre-service teachers had a relatively high level of digital self-efficacy, while having relatively low level of digital citizenship. Correlation analysis observed a positive relationship among individual characteristics, digital self-efficacy and digital citizenship. The implications of this research highlighted the significance of implementing civic education in higher education level in order to foster adequate knowledge, skill, and awareness of citizenship in pre-service teachers.
Prickly Sida (Sida spinosa L.), Hemp Sesbania [Sesbania herbacea (Mill.) McVaugh], and Pitted Morningglory (Ipomoea lacunose L.) Response to Selective and Non-Selective Herbicide in Mississippi, USA

Published: April 2023

Prickly sida (Sida spinosa), hemp sesbania (Sesbania herbacea), and pitted morningglory (Ipomoea lacunose) are becoming problematic weeds in many crops including corn and soybean. Two separate field experiments, under non-crop conditions, were conducted at the Mississippi State University Delta Research and Extension Center, in Stoneville, MS to evaluate the response of these weeds to eight corn selective herbicides and three non-selective herbicides alone or in combination. The herbicides used were Aatrex (atrazine), Clarity (dicamba), 2,4-D (2,4-D amine), Callisto (mesotrione), Enlist Duo (2,4-D choline + dicamba), Capreno (thiencarbazone + tembotrione), Corvus (thiencarbazone + isoxaflutole), Halex GT (mesotrione + S-metolachlor + glyphosate), Gramoxone (paraquat), Liberty (glufosinate), and Roundup (glyphosate). Halex GT provided only 86% prickly side control 4-wks after application (WAA). Aatrex + Capreno and Aatrex + Corvus were the only treatments provided 99.5% prickly sida control. Liberty, Callisto, Capreno, and Corvus provided 71, 66, and 51, and 46% control of prickly sida, respectively. Hemp sesbania control was 100% from all herbicide applications except Corvus and Roundup. Hemp sesbania control was not satisfactory from Roundup application since this treatment provided only 72% control. By 4 WAA, all herbicide treatments provided 97 to 100% on pitted morningglory control except Corvus and Capreno treatments (72 to 75%). The herbicide management program should be able to provide acceptable weed control (i.e., greater than 95%) but also to prevent weed seed deposition onto the soil seedbank. Consequently, delaying the evolution of weed herbicide resistance will result in herbicide technology preservation for as long as possible by achieving a long-term weed management program.
Control of Multiple-Herbicide-Resistant Canada Fleabane With Fall, Spring, and Sequential Herbicide Applications in Winter Wheat

Published: April 2023

Limited information exists on the efficacy of pyrasulfotole/bromoxynil, fluroxypyr/halauxifen-methyl + MCPA EHE, and clopyralid applied in the fall, spring, or sequentially [fall followed by (fb) spring] for the control of multiple-herbicide-resistant (MHR) Canada fleabane in winter wheat under Ontario environmental conditions. Three field experiments were initiated in the autumn of 2020 and 2021 for a total of 6 site-years to evaluate fall- and spring-applied herbicides and their sequential applications for the control of MHR Canada fleabane in winter wheat in Ontario. Pyrasulfotole/bromoxynil applied in the fall, spring, or sequentially controlled MHR Canada fleabane 83, 99, and 100%, respectively at 8 weeks after the spring application (WAB); the spring and sequential applications provided better control than the fall application. Fluroxypyr/halauxifen + MCPA and clopyralid applied in the fall, spring, or sequentially controlled MHR Canada fleabane 97 to 100% and 99 to 100%, respectively at 8 WAB. Based on orthogonal contrasts the spring and sequential herbicide applications provided greater control than the fall application (8 WAB). MHR Canada fleabane interference reduced winter wheat yield up to 27% in this study. Based on orthogonal contrasts reduced MHR Canada fleabane interference with the fall application resulted in 17% higher winter wheat yield than when herbicide application was delayed to the spring. Although MHR Canada fleabane was controlled very effectively with clopyralid winter wheat yield was lower, presumably due to crop injury; this observation will have to be explored further in future research. Results from this study indicate that pyrasulfotole/bromoxynil and fluroxypyr/halauxifen + MCPA applied in the fall can be used to effectively control MHR Canada fleabane and minimize winter wheat yield loss due to weed interference.

Published: April 2023

Italian ryegrass [Lolium perenne ssp. multiflorum (Lam.)] is a problematic C3 annual weed in winter wheat and other crops in the US, continental Europe. The objective of this research was to assess the expression profiles of herbicide target-site genes upon treatment with field rates of ALS- (e.g., chlorsulfuron), PSII- (e.g., atrazine), EPSPS- (e.g., glyphosate), and HPPD- (e.g., mesotrione) inhibitors, respectively in Italian ryegrass. Furthermore, the expression of the genes in chloroplasts that contribute to photosynthesis and CO2 assimilation was also measured in response to these herbicide treatments. LmALS was upregulated (> 3-fold) whereas LmpsbA was downregulated (> 40-fold) at 8 h after chlorsulfuron and atrazine treatments respectively. However, LmEPSPS gene expression remained similar to control levels at 8 h after glyphosate treatment. LmHPPD gene showed > 1-fold higher expression at 8 h after mesotrione treatment. LmCAB, a major component of the photosystem II light-harvesting complex, was downregulated immediately (8 h) after chlorsulfuron, atrazine, glyphosate, and mesotrione treatments respectively. Similarly, LmRubisco, was downregulated after glyphosate and mesotrione treatments. However, LmRubisco was upregulated 0.4-fold after chlorsulfuron treatment and remained unaffected after atrazine treatment. Overall, the data from this study suggest that the treatment with herbicides showed variation in expression of herbicide target genes and those that are involved in the critical photosynthetic pathway.

Published: April 2023

This study was carried out in Cherfech Tunisia, at the experimental station of the National Research Institute of Rural Engineering, Water and Forests (INRGREF) during the growing season 2015. The main objectives are quantifying and valuing the Water consumption (WC) and Water Use Efficiency of quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.), under saline water irrigation at different concentrations (T0 = 1.2 dS m-1, T1 = 9.2 dS m-1 and T2 = 18 dS m-1). The TDM decreased from 6.7 to 13.4% due to the increase in the salt concentration of the irrigation water from 9.2 to 18 dS m-1. A reduction of 9.8 to 12.6% was marked for treatments T1 and T2. Also, the WUE PR-anthesis has registered a decrease of 8 and 12.5% respectively for T1 (WUEPR = 10.3 kg m-3) and T2 (WUEPR = 9.8 kg m-3) compared with the control T0 (WUEPR =11.2 kg m-3). However, irrigation water salinity showed no effect on the WUE post-anthesis T0 and T1 (WUEPS = 3 kg m-3). Nevertheless, a decrease about 15% was recorded in the T2 (WUEPS = 2.5 kg m-3). At harvest, the highest, WUETDM (5.43 kg m-3) was recorded under T0. However, the lowest WUETDM (5 kg m-3) was marked under T2; a decline of 7.9% was marked. Besides, the uppermost WUEGY (2.09 kg m-3) was recorded under T0. However, the smallest amount of WUEGY (1.1 kg m-3) was recorded under T2. A lessen of 47.4% was manifested on WUEGY due to the height reduction on yield in the T2.

THE AUTHOR'S MODALITY IN A LITERARY TEXT AS A MANIFESTATION OF THE MORAL VALUES OF THE AUTHOR
Authors: Iskakova G. Zh. , Shalabay B.
Published: April 2023

In accordance with the anthropolanguage paradigm considered in modern linguistics, the communicative function of language comes to the fore, the tendency to use a linguistic unit is intertwined with the personality of a native speaker, leads to the study of the categories of the image of the author, the linguistic personality, the author's modality in a literary text, distinguishing their features and clarifying the status. The relevance of the research work is determined by the lack of research considering the category of the author's modality in the context of a literary text.

The purpose of the research work is to identify the means of transmitting the category of the author's modality in a literary text in the Kazakh and Kyrgyz languages.

In the article, the category "author's modality" is considered the basis for the formation of the concept of a literary text. The implicit ways of transferring the category of the author's modality to determine the author's statement and linguistic personality in a work of art are investigated.

In a work of art, the author's modality is conveyed through themes, images, concepts, mythologemes, symbols, and anthropomorphism underlying the plots. When considered within the framework of a literary text, modal meanings acquire a subjective-evaluative character. Since the research work was carried out on the analysis of a literary text, the method of complex text analysis was used, i.e., descriptive, analysis, synthesis methods, deductive and inductive methods, semantic-stylistic, contextual method.

The author's modality can be determined by the correct interpretation of the information underlying the text (subtext) in a work of art.

Authors: Mamyrbek G. , Seitbekova A.
Published: April 2023

The paper analyzes the graphic and lexical-grammatical features of the use of the medieval written monument «Khusrau ua Shyryn» Kutba. The main feature of this monument is the presence in the alphabetic system of harakats (super-letter and sub-letter signs) and their use instead of several sounds. Not only Arabic but also Persian graphemes are also used. The lexical composition of the monument is very complex. It contains Kypchak, Karluk, Oguz, Arabic, Persian words, as well as archaic elements. Arabic and Persian phrases are used. From a grammatical point of view, the Kypchak or Oguz vocabulary prevails. The parallel use of grammatical endings of the Oguz and Kypchak forms is used. Which of the dialects (Kypchak, Oguz, or Karluk) the language of the monument predominates is determined on the basis of a linguostatistical analysis of each grammatical form? To this day, there is no consensus on the linguistic affiliation of this monument. Some scientists claim that the monument was written in Kypchak-Oguz, and some believe that in the Oguz-Kypchak language. the article discusses these issues in detail and analyzes specific examples.
CULTURAL REPRESENTATION OF THE SEMANTICS OF KAZAKH GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES
Authors: Rysbergen K. , Uali N.
Published: April 2023

The problem of determining cultural components, folk knowledge, and information in onomastic names, including the semantics of toponyms, which are in a "hidden" state for most linguistic domains, become relevant due to the current linguistic situation. The cultural semantics of onyms is represented in rational and irrational knowledge and information. The paper aims to show the representation of rational and irrational folk knowledge in the cultural semantics of toponyms and mythonyms, consisting of the names of species-colour attributes, plants, and numbers. The main idea of the study is to use examples to prove that the type of rational knowledge concentrates on cultural empirical information relating to the practical life of the population, while the type of irrational knowledge concentrates on esoteric knowledge representing religious, animistic, mythological, and folk beliefs. In the introductory part, the close relationship between language and culture was substantiated based on the works of renowned authors. It was shown that toponymic names are a product of cultural thinking, which accumulates the knowledge of the ethnos in the process of mastering the environment, as well as a variety of information. The main method used in the work is the anthropogenic direction. Considered within the framework of topological space as a research method, the language matrix method reveals deeply rooted cultural semantics. The method of extrapolation shows that the folk toponymic patterns are based on the motivation for natural naming common to the Kazakh linguistic culture as a whole. In the section, main results toponyms are divided into several subsections. The representation of cultural information in the semantics of the names of speciesflowers, plants, numbers, and sacred names, their implicit properties are analyzed. The processes of objectification of the types of rational knowledge in the cultural semantics of toponyms as a product of the subject's (individual and ethnocultural collective) mental activity are considered.

It has been established that the semantics of sacred names reflects the moral and ethical values of the ethnos. The scientific value of the study is explained by the fact that linguistics expands the theoretical base of the field of linguocultural studies and contributes to it. 

The practical value of the findings is due to the fact that they can serve as material to enrich the base of linguocultural dictionaries, corpus linguistics, and culturally representative texts.

Published: April 2023

The paper substantiates the need to include in the national corpus of the Kazakh language the names of material culture in the system of ethnocultural units of the Kazakh language through their description, as well as the need for their marking in the corpus.

Ethnocultural units are linguistic symbols with a large cumulative function, reflecting the national identity of the Kazakh language, preserving the language, traditions, worldview, and spiritual world of the nation. Therefore, the language is supported by national culture.

Currently, intensive language study is being conducted in an anthropocentric direction. In this regard, the deepening and expansion of the process in this direction are determined by the relevance of the assembly of national buildings. The national corpus of the Kazakh language is a modern innovative and informational tool that serves as a guardian of such national cultural units in a broad way, a carrier of them for generations.

The research paper describes the ways of introducing ethnocultural units into the National Corpus of the Kazakh language: coding, modeling, and using algorithmic and programmatic approaches when introducing ethnocultural units into the National Corpus. First of all, collecting ethnocultural units that are the basis for creating the corpus base, determining their cultural and semantic groups and compiling a list of words related to this the group. Transfer each of them to professional programmers only after applying the markup code. Programmers must work on a certain algorithm and carry out further processing. Works to be done in the future are considered as well.

The research work is dedicated to the consideration of the issues of inclusion in the corpus of the Kazakh language of markings defined based on the National corpus of the Kazakh language (morphological, word-formation, semantic, lexical, phonetic, and phonological markings) as cultural and semantic markings.

Authors: Hashim Dr. Asma , Faisal Dr. Syed Mohammad , Khan Dr. Ahmad Khalid
Published: April 2023

Green supplier environmental friendliness is important to businesses; figuring
out which suppliers in the industrial supply chain care about the environment is one of the
most critical issues. We are now integrating ARAS for six green providers and the best
green suppliers, assessment, and decision-making. This research will be used as a standard
for assessing the general efficacy of green providers using ARAS. One of the critical
methods that will be employed, the ARAS theory for modeling uncertainties, is to determine
the significance of the criteria taken into account in this research and the alternatives
related to fate. In the framework of this research, we rank green service providers
according to pre-established criteria. The ARAS should then be used to assess the
research's contribution to the evaluation of green suppliers to choose the best ones. The
foundation of ARAS analysis's hierarchical process methodologies is integration into
decision-making. When uncertainty occurs, it plays a vital role, and ARAS presents a
solution as the best possible answer to the problem at hand.

Published: April 2023

Although while getting a restful night's sleep is essential for your mental and physical health, insomnia is very prevalent. More people are turning to complementary and alternative therapies to treat or prevent sleeplessness. For hundreds of years, herbal treatments like valerian, passionflower, lemon balm, lavender, and California poppy have been utilized successfully. After using these herbal medicines, sleep latency was reduced and subjective and objective measures of sleep quality improved. Their sedative and sleep-inducing effects are caused by interactions with several neurotransmitter systems in the brain, according to molecular research. The plant species can be divided into 76 different genera and 32 different families, with the Asteraceae (24.2%) and Lamiaceae (21.1%) being the most prevalent subgroups. Leaves (29%) and flowers (27%), respectively, are used to make the majority of infusions (70%) and decoctions (25%). Just the most well-known taxa—out of the 106 known—are treated here (A. arvensis L., C. nepeta L., C. monogyna Jacq., H. lupulus L., L. nobilis L., L. angustifolia Mill., M. sylvestris L., M. chamomilla L., M. officinalis L., O. basilicum L., P. rhoeas L., P. somniferum L., R. officinalis L., T. platyphyllus Scop., and V. officinalis L.). Further study is required to confirm the therapeutic potential of these substitutes and define the mechanism of action of bioactive compounds because only seven of the fifteen species chosen have been investigated for pharmacological activity as hypnotic-sedatives.
Assessing the effects of sugar maple tapping on lumber production
Authors: Guillemette François , Michaud-Larochelle Sébastien , Bédard Steve , Tremblay Stéphane
Published: April 2023

Production goals for certain stands previously used mainly to produce sugar maple (Acer saccharum Marsh.) lumber are being revised due to the growing demand for products made from maple sap. This paper therefore estimates the impacts that maple sap production may have for maple lumber production. We began by developing a model able to predict sugar maple lumber losses due to tapping for sap collection. We then used the model to simulate two management scenarios: one for timber production alone, and one for production of both lumber and maple sap in the same stand. The results suggest that the net harvested volume of lumber declines by approximately 40% in the co-production scenario, compared to the timber production scenario.
First report of Bacterial Speck of Tomato caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato in AJK, Pakistan
Authors: Ahmed Raees
Published: April 2023

Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.) is the second most cultivated vegetable crop. World production of tomato is about 177 million metric tons from 4.78 million ha, and Pakistan contributed an annual production of 2.9 million metric tons from 0.15 million ha (FAO, 2021). The bacterial speck of tomato caused by Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato has devastated tomato cultivars in terms of their production and quality in Poonch, AJK, Pakistan. In a systemic field survey of tomato growing areas of Poonch division including Rawalakot, Bagh and Hajira, 23 fields were selected randomly with an approximately 10km apart from each other in the temperate climate ranging temperature from 18-22 ℃ with humidity more than 70%. It was observed small black spots with yellow haloes on tomato leaves and on fruits small, dark slightly raised lesions were observed (Mensi et al., 2018). On the basis of symptomological parameters average disease incidence of 42% was observed. Twelve isolates were recovered from the collected leaf, twig and fruit samples on King’s B medium while incubation temperature was 27±2 ℃. All the isolates were gram found gram negative and produced levan when grown on sucrose supplemented medium. Hypersensitive reaction of all the isolates was positive on tobacco leaves and were non-fluorescent under UV light. Pathogenicity test was performed on tomato seedlings inoculated with bacterial suspension having concentration of 108 CFU/ml with five replications and for control treatment sterile distilled water was used. Small dark brown to black spots similar to the symptoms found in the field were observed while no symptoms appeared in the control thus confirming the Koch’s postulates (Valenzuela et al., 2022). The amplification of 16s rRNA and gyrB gene of two isolates was done using 16s rRNA universal primer and an housekeeping gene primer respectively by polymerase chain reaction as described by Karlson et al. (1993) and Yamamoto et al. (2000). The amplicones of 16s rRNA gene were sequenced (GenBank Accession Nos. MK591077 and MK591130) and found 99% identical to the 16s rRNAgene sequences from Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. Pathogen was also confirmed by amplification of specific gene sequence gyrB gene (GenBank Accession Nos. MK608712 and MK608713) and successfully amplified 890bp gene sequence confirming the 99% identity upon BLAST. To best of our knowledge it is the first report of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato in AJK, Pakistan and was previously reported in Chile (Valenzuela et al., 2022), Tunisia (Mensi et al., 2018), California (Arredondo and Davis, 2000) and in several other countries in the world. The results of the current study will devise further epidemiological studies and quarantine measures to limit the outbreak of this disease on tomato.

Species composition and abundance patterns in eighteen forest sites from 1700m to 3400m elevation were studied to evaluate species diversity and richness at Qazi Nag Range, Kashmir region, Western Himalaya. Evaluation of species diversity was determined by Shannon-Weiner's index of diversity (H') Sheldon evenness index (E) and Margalef species richness index (R'). Species diversity values ranged from 3.497 to 2.773 at 1700m and 3400m respectively whereas species richness varied from 1.83 (1700m) to 0.8 at 3200m. The species diversity and richness values were recorded higher from 2300 to 2600 m having best combination of heat and precipitation which ensure survival of more species. Diversity values declined towards upper and lower reaches, which might be due to flow of individuals from both upslope and low-lying areas. Correlation analyses showed that the environmental variables as altitude and potassium were found negatively correlated with diversity index while pH, EC Organic matter and soil saturation were recorded positively correlated with species diversity. This study highlights the importance of local and landscape scale environmental variables on species diversity and vegetation patterns in Kashmir Region, Western Himalaya

Bumblebees are important pollinators in both wild and managed cropping system and from the last few decades these bees are using as commercial pollinators to enhance the yield in greenhouse and glasshouse crops like tomato, cucumber and bell pepper. Indigenous bumblebee Bombus haemorrhoidalis, is an important pollinator of Northern Pakistan and plays key role in wild pollination. Present study was conducted to explore the relative abundance of B. haemorrhoidalis in comparison with other common insect pollinators. Monthly surveys were conducted from March, 2017 to February, 2018 to record the abundance of different pollinators. Hymenopteran pollinators were found as most abundant insect order with six species following by Lepidopteran pollinators with five species. B. haemorrhoidalis recorded with maximum abundance and Syrphus spp were recorded with second highest abundance. Maximum diversity of pollinators was observed at Banjosa and Paniola areas. Such ecological information about pollinators is important for possible conservation program in this region and it is also will be helpful in conservation program of Bumblebees in future

Authors:   Alex Ekwueme Federal University Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki, Daniel Nweke Igwe,
Published: April 2023

Background: As the leading source of death for children under the age of five worldwide, diarrhea is second only to pneumonia. In Ebonyi State, it is a major contributor to emergency situations and elevated infant morbidity and mortality. When it comes to genotype-specific acute diarrhea in children, Group A Rotavirus is the most frequent viral etiologic agent, with different genotypes. The purpose of the research was to identify the most common rotavirus strains in circulation among children under 5 who were admitted to the hospital in Abakaliki with diarrhea. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted. In continuation of previous work by the same authors on prevalence and risk factors of rotavirus infection in children, RNA extraction was carried out, according to manufacturer’s instructions using appropriate extraction kit, on 75 stool samples that were positive for rotavirus infection by ELISA procedure, followed by polymerase chain reaction and genotyping. The produced products of different sizes were then examined under ultraviolet (UV) illumination. Results: The two most common G genotypes were G1 and G4 (42.5% and 38.4%, respectively). The most common P gene was P [8], which was followed by P [6] and P [4], both of which had a 5.5% prevalence. The two rotavirus types G1P [8] (11%) and G4P [8] (11%) made up the majority overall. Conclusions: The most common rotavirus types in circulation were G1, G4, P8, G1P [8], and G4P [8].

Primary pseudo-tumoral calcinosis is a rare genetic disease due to a disorder of phosphorus metabolism characterized by the formation and deposition of calcium phosphate crystals in the peri-articular regions. The treatment is based on the reduction of hyperphosphatemia by hygienic and nutritional measures, hypophosphatemic drugs and surgery. We report the case of a 19-year-old patient followed since the age of 3 years for a primary pseudo-tumoral calcinosis that was resistant to surgery and that had well progressed with aluminum hydroxide and acetazolamide. Treatment combining aluminum hydroxide and acetazolamide with hygienic and nutritional measures seems to be an interesting therapeutic option for this pathology.

Indonesia, with a plural society, is interested in guaranteeing every religious adherent’s independence. Therefore, various regulations are enacted to reduce conflicts that often occur, including matters relating to establishing places of Worship. This caused multiple responses from the community. At the same time, it is essential to take a closer look at how places of Worship are established. This research takes the form of literature, and concerning the data, the author divides it into 2 (two), namely primary and secondary. The analytical framework that will be optimized is Thomas R. Dye’s public policy. This study found that the intervention of the Indonesian State in the establishment of houses of Worship through a joint regulation made by two ministries, namely the Minister of Home Affairs and the Minister of Religion, regarding the establishment of places of worship Number 1 of 1969 and Numbers 8 and 9 of 2006 is essential. However, the government must disseminate the regulations for licensing the construction of houses of Worship to all religious communities in Indonesia and be firm in implementing these laws and regulations to minimize conflicts caused by religion.
Code-Switching in Relation to Other Language-Contact Phenomena: A Theoretical Account

Published: April 2023

Research on code-switching (CS) has witnessed a major terminological issue, especially with regard to its relation to other concepts of language contact phenomena. CS, as a research area, is troubled with the question of terminological confusion. Sometimes, researchers use different labels to indicate the same notion; in others, they use the same term to refer to distinct notions. Hence, there is no definite consensus on the territory covered by the terms related to the CS phenomenon such as CM, borrowing, transfer and so on. This article attempts to explore and clarify these terms and examine their similarity or distinction to CS. The latter is reviewed in comparison to four close and interrelated linguistic phenomena, namely code-mixing, diglossia, borrowing, and interference. This review is based on reviewing the literature and reflecting on it.

Authors: Khalid Hina , Khan Naveed Ali , Mahar Abdul Khalique , Aziz Munira Abdul
Published: April 2023

Introduction: Splenic pseudo cysts are extremely uncommon. Most of these cysts are asymptomatic and may result from previous blunt abdominal trauma. We report an interesting uncommon case of a large splenic pseudo cyst without a history of previous abdominal trauma. Case Presentation: 44 years old female with normal BMI, married, non-smoker, non-alcoholic, and housewife. She had no past medical or surgical history and was not on any oral medications. She presented with upper abdominal pain and discomfort for 6 months. Irregular pain with mild intensity associated with shortness of breath, her physical examination was unremarkable. The abdominal ultrasound and contras-enchased CT showed a large splenic cyst occupying the lower pole of the spleen, Echinococcus multilocularis antibody test was negative (Titer<1:16), Thus the Echinococcosis was excluded from the differential diagnosis. The differential diagnosis, in this case, was a non-parasitic splenic cyst. The patient underwent elective diagnostic laparoscopic with laparoscopic splenectomy. Discussion: The patient had an uneventful postoperative recovery course. He was discharged from the hospital on the third postoperative day (within the expected time frame), and instructed to avoid heavy lifting for a few months and to complete the post-splenectomy vaccination protocol. Conclusion: Pseudocyst of the spleen is quite uncommon in routine clinical practice and should be differentiated from more common lesions such as hydatid cysts, abscess of the spleen, etc. The Pseudocyst of the spleen is usually asymptomatic and is detected incidentally during the abdominal scan for other reasons. Splenectomy is the gold standard treatment for splenic pseudocysts. Partial splenectomy is the recommended procedure if at least 25% of splenic parenchyma is achievable.
Clinical Trials Trends of 2023 Year and Visionary to the Future
Authors: S. Milovanov Svyatoslav
Published: April 2023

Introduction: The importance of studying historical changes in the development of human activity is substantiated by the need to systematize such changes and the possibility of predicting them. Historical changes are extended in time and do not have clear boundaries, requiring greater involvement in their study and the prerequisites for their appearance. Clinical research is more than just the practical application of medical changes and discoveries. They make changes in medical practice but are subject to change. Changes in the clinical research industry are tendentious and develop gradually, requiring study and forecasting. According to the generally accepted temporal gradation of the forecast, there is an operational forecast of up to one month, a short-term forecast of up to one year, a medium-term forecast of up to five years, a long-term forecast of up to 20 years and a long-term forecast over long-term, and a short-term forecast is common in the clinical research industry. We analyzed publications in open sources from 1930 to 2023 by keywords in the Russian-language literature trends in the clinical trial industry and the English-language literature trends in the clinical trial industry. Discussion and Conclusion: Trends in the development of clinical trials until the end of 2023 can be divided into two groups, those related to changes in the conduct of clinical trials and changes in the products of clinical trials in nosologies. If in the first group, the trends remain similar to 2022, the ongoing digitalization of operations, the shift of centralized research towards decentralization, and the shift in protocol design towards patient-centricity, then in the second group, the number of expected drugs has decreased, and there is a shift of drugs towards biologics and gene therapy drugs.

Published: April 2023

COVID-19 pandemisi tüm dünyayı etkisi altına alsa da pandemiden en çok etkilenen örgütlerin başında sağlık kurumlarının geldiği açıktır. Özellikle özel hastaneler; işgücü üzerindeki baskılar, faaliyetlerde kesintiler, mali sıkıntılar gibi çeşitli zorlukları bir arada yaşamış ve eşi görülmemiş bir krize tanık olmuştur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, özel hastanelerin pandeminin yol açtığı krizi yönetme süreçlerinin belirlenmesidir. Bu doğrultuda Ankara ilinde faaliyet gösteren 20 özel hastanenin yöneticisi ile 03.02.2022- 31.03.2022 tarihleri arasında yüz yüze derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde içerik analizi kullanılmış ve kriz yönetimi beş aşamada takip edilmiştir. Araştırmanın bulgularına göre hasta sayısındaki (normal ve takipli hasta dışındaki) artış yöneticiler için krizin önemli bir sinyali olmuştur. Yöneticilerin aldıkları önlemlerin büyük bir bölümü insan kaynaklarına yönelikken hasar sınırlamaya ilişkin uygulamaları ağırlıklı olarak mali ve finansal alanlarda olmuştur. Kurumlarının güvenli olduğunun ve hijyen belgesi sahipliklerinin hastane web sitelerinden duyurulması, yöneticiler tarafından rutin faaliyetlerde toparlanmanın araçları olarak kullanılmıştır. İnsan kaynaklarının güçlendirilmesinin gerekliliği pandemi krizinden çıkarılan derslerin başında tanımlanmıştır. Çalışma, ortaya koyduğu bulgularla gelecekteki olası salgınlara ve diğer krizlere hazırlıklı olma konusunda yöneticiler için ipuçları sağlama potansiyeline sahiptir.
