Reklam, Tüketim, Toplumsal Kimlik Döngüsünde Aaahh Belinda (2023) Filmini Okumak
Authors: AKTAŞ Adil
Published: February 2024

Kadının, dünyaya geldiği andan itibaren hazır olarak bulduğu toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri ve davranış kalıpları Türk sinemasında çok kez işlenmiştir. Ancak 1980’li yıllarla birlikte tüm dünyada feminist anlayışın yükselişe geçmesi Türkiye’de de kadının statüsünün yeniden sorgulanmasını gerekli kılmıştır. Bu yıllardan sonra kadın karakterlere yönelik filmlerin ve reklamların sayısında artış olmakla birlikte bu filmlerde kadın, erkeğin dünyasına ait bir meta olmaktan ziyade birey kimliğiyle ön plana çıkarılmaya başlanmıştır. Bu filmlerden bir tanesi de 1986 yılında çekilmiş olan ve yönetmenliğini Atıf Yılmaz’ın yapmış olduğu Aaahh Belinda adlı filmdir. Araştırmamıza konu olan film ise aynı adlı filmin Deniz Yorulmazer yönetmenliğinde 2023 yılında uyarlanmasıdır. Filmde birbirlerinin dünyalarına tamamen yabancı olan iki kadın üzerinden ele alınan kadın sorunu mizahi ve düşsel ögeler kullanılarak sürrealist bir biçimde anlatılmaktadır. Sahiplen(il)meyi kabul etmeyen, bireysel bir yaşamı benimseyen Dilara ile toplumun sunduğu hazır rollere uygun bir yaşamı olan Handan adlı iki kadının farklı dünyalarına göndermeler yapılmaktadır. Filmde, toplumsal anlamda hâlâ tam olarak çözüme kavuşmamış olan kadın sorunları ve kadınlara toplum tarafından çizilen çerçevenin sınırları sorgulanmaktadır. Araştırma bu yönüyle önem arz etmektedir. Nitel araştır-ma yöntemlerinden metin analizi yöntemiyle, aynı bedene sahip farklı evrenlerde yaşayan Dilara ve Handan adlı iki kadın üzerinden filmdeki ögeler analiz edilmiş ve çıkarımlarda bulunulmuştur. Her iki kadının da özgürleşme ve bulundukları dünyadan kurtuluş çabalarından, filmin Dilara lehine idealize edildiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
Who smokes in Australia? Cross‐sectional analysis of Australian Bureau of Statistics survey data, 2017–19
Authors: Aw Jessica Yi Han , Heris Christina , Maddox Raglan , Joshy Grace , Banks AM Emily
Published: February 2024

Objectives

To assess the socio‐demographic and health‐related characteristics of people who smoke daily, people who formerly smoked, and people who have never smoked in Australia.

Study design

Cross‐sectional analysis of Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) survey data.

Setting, participants

Adult participants (16 370 people aged 18 years or older) in the ABS 2017–18 National Health Survey (NHS); adult participants in the ABS 2018–19 National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health Survey (NATSIHS) (6423 people aged 18 years or older).

Main outcome measures

Socio‐demographic and health‐related characteristics of people who smoke daily, people who formerly smoked, and people who have never smoked, expressed as population‐weighted proportions, overall and by Indigeneity.

Results

Among adult NHS respondents, an estimated 58.8% of people who smoked daily (95% confidence interval [CI], 56.2–61.4%) were men, 61.3% (95% CI, 58.7–63.9%) were 25–54 years old, 72.5% (95% CI, 70.0–74.8%) were born in Australia, and 65.4% (95% CI, 62.8–67.8%) lived in major cities and 54.3% (95% CI, 51.6–57.0%) in areas in the two socio‐economically most disadvantaged quintiles; 75.9% (95% CI, 73.5–78.1%) reported good to excellent health, 73.0% (95% CI, 70.5–75.4%) reported low to moderate psychological distress, 69.0% of those aged 25–64 years (ie, of working age) had completed year 12 (high school), and 68.5% were currently employed. An estimated 2.57 million people smoke daily in Australia: 2.37 million non‐Indigenous people (92%) and 195 700 Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander people (8%).

Conclusions

While smoking is more frequent among people living in socio‐economically disadvantaged areas and in certain population sub‐groups, this first quantitative national profile indicates that most people who smoke daily are in paid employment, are non‐Indigenous, are in good physical and mental health, and have completed year 12. Improved comprehensive structural supply‐ and demand‐based tobacco control, informed by the needs of priority groups and the overall profile of people who smoke, is needed to reduce daily smoking prevalence among adults to the 2030 targets of 5% or less for all Australians and 27% or less for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Published: February 2024

Results of an omega-order preserving partial contraction mapping (omega-OCPn) in generalized spaces are presented in this study. Assumed to be a closed linear operator on a Banach space X with a non-empty resolvent set rho(A) is A in omega-OCPn. If A is densely defined, the extrapolation spaces X-1 and X-1 will be associated with A in agreement. However, X-1 is a proper closed subspace of X-1 if A is not densely defined. Then, we demonstrated that the reason these spaces exist is because (X*)-1 and D(A0) are naturally isomorphic to (X*)-1 and (X*)-1, respectively.

Some results on ultradifferential convolution property of ultradistributions
Authors: Amaonyeiro Anslem , Isife Kenneth
Published: February 2024

We consider some sequential conditions for the convolvability of two ultradistributions, specifically the Roumieu ultradistributions defined on the space of all ultradifferentiable functions  Dn{M_p}  in the space Dn'{M_p}  and show the similarities between these conditions in the sense of Mincheva-Kaminska S. The sequential conditions are based on the use of approximate identities which satisfy certain conditions to be a Banach algebra for the space Dn{M_p} . We present an equivalent result involving the convolution of the differentiability of two Roumieu ultradistributions with equivalent norm condition.

Funding the Nigerian Agricultural Sector for Improved Performance: The Role of Migrant Workers’ Foreign Remittances Inflows
Authors: Korgbeelo Clement
Published: February 2024

Although there is a plethora of empirical evidence on the impact of foreign remittances inflows on economic growth in Nigeria, there are few studies that investigated the impact of foreign remittances on agricultural sector performance in the country. This study therefore examined the impact of funding on the performance of the agricultural sector in Nigeria with emphasis on the role of foreign remittances inflows. Specifically, the study investigated the impact of foreign remittances inflows, government expenditure on agriculture, bank credit to agriculture, the Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund, and exchange rate on agricultural sector output performance in Nigeria. Exchange rate was used as a control variable. The Johansen co-integration test, Error Correction Mechanism (ECM), and Granger causality test were used to estimate the annual time-series data for the period of 1981 to 2021. The findings from the study revealed that foreign remittances inflows, government expenditure on agriculture, and loans guaranteed under the Agricultural Credit Guarantee Scheme Fund (ACGSE) have significant positive impact on agricultural sector performance. On the other hand, bank credits to agriculture and exchange rate have insignificant negative impact on agricultural sector performance. Among other things, it is recommended that recipients of foreign remittances in Nigeria should be encouraged to invest more in the agricultural sector.

Published: February 2024

Background: The sympatholytic property of dexmedetomidine (DEX) makes it suitable as a hypotensive drug during functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS); however, delayed emergence from anesthesia and high postoperative sedation have been reported. Objectives: Delayed emergence from anesthesia and high postoperative sedation are associated with a prolonged length of stay in the operating room and the postanesthesia care unit (PACU), which increases health care costs. This study aimed to overcome the negative impact of DEX on recovery by using aminophylline. Methods: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study was conducted on 52 patients planned for elective FESS under general anesthesia with DEX infusion for controlled hypotension during surgery. Patients were equally divided into 2 groups. The aminophylline group received 4 mg/kg aminophylline diluted in 50 mL saline 0.9% over 30 minutes after positioning in a 20-degree reverse Trendelenburg position. The control group received 50 mL saline 0.9% with a similar volume and period as the aminophylline group. Results: The extubation time was significantly shorter in the aminophylline group (6.5 (5.25 - 7.75) minutes) than in the control group (9 (7.25 - 10) minutes) (P-value < 0.001). The PACU discharge time was significantly shorter in the aminophylline group (15 (10 - 20) minutes) compared to the control group (20 (15 - 28.75) minutes) (P-value = 0.036). Intraoperative heart rate and mean arterial pressure were nonsignificantly different between the 2 groups. Ramsay sedation score measurements at 15 min, 30 min, and 60 min after extubation were significantly lower in the aminophylline than in the control group (P-value < 0.05). Complications were nonsignificantly different between the 2 groups. Conclusions: Intraoperative aminophylline infusion enhances the recovery of patients undergoing FESS under DEX hypotensive anesthesia without intraoperative hemodynamic alterations and decreases their postoperative sedation without significant postoperative side effects.
Lipoid Proteinosis, Its Symptoms, and Oral Manifestations: A Case Report and Review of Literature
Authors: Omidsalar Parmiss , Koopaie Maryam , Akhbari Parisa
Published: February 2024

Introduction: Lipoid proteinosis (LP), also known as Urbach-Wiethe disease, is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by the deposition of glycoproteins in mucous membranes, skin, and organs. Symptoms typically begin in childhood, persist throughout life, and encompass hoarseness, skin inflammation, scarring, and ulcers, resulting in a waxy appearance. Oral manifestations present as white plaques and ulcers, significantly impacting the oral cavity. To date, approximately 400 cases have been reported worldwide. Case Presentation: Herein, we present the case of a 36-year-old female diagnosed with LP who sought a dental implant evaluation. Her medical history revealed tooth decay, which necessitated extractions, and she had previously undergone maxillary implant placement and mandibular bone grafting. Upon general examination, the patient exhibited voice hoarseness, hyperkeratosis on the elbows and hands, and papules on the fingers. Oral examination revealed firm and fibrotic mucosa, papillomatosis, and limited mouth opening. Hyposalivation and the absence of the left parotid duct orifice were noted. No significant abnormalities were observed on the eyelids or face. Salivary gland assessment indicated a reduced flow rate (1 ml in 5 minutes). This case highlights the importance of conducting a comprehensive evaluation and tailoring management strategies to the individual needs of patients with LP. Conclusions: Lipoid proteinosis is a rare mucocutaneous disorder characterized by a slow and benign course, with varying prevalence in different regions. Early recognition of oral symptoms is crucial, as they often precede skin and neurological manifestations. Although typical oral signs usually include tongue firmness and an inability to protrude, these were not observed in the present case. Xerostomia and dental agenesis, though uncommon, have been reported in previous cases, consistent with the findings of the present case, although different areas of the oral cavity might be involved in some instances.

Background: In military organizations and units, commanders, as the most influential people on the military conditions of duty-staff personnel, have a significant impact on the mental and physical health of their forces. Therefore, primary mental health training and improving their ability to deal with risky behaviors can guarantee the health of the military forces under their command. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the gatekeeper training program in improving the attitude and enhancing the knowledge about suicide prevention among Iranian army commanders. Methods: This practical research was structured using a quasi-experimental method with the 31-question scale of the attitude toward suicide (ATTS) questionnaire as a pretest and posttest. A sample of 40 commanders in Tehran’s military barracks was appointed by purposeful sampling (20 in the experimental group and 20 in the control group). The experimental group received a gatekeeper-based suicide prevention training package, while the control group received no training. The data obtained from the questionnaires were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test in SPSS software. Results: The present study indicated a considerable impact on knowledge and attitude about suicide in IR army commanders. Furthermore, the difference between the experimental and control groups in suicide prevention knowledge and its fundamental structures was significant, and in the entire population, it was greater than 0.1. Conclusions: The findings indicated that the gatekeeper training package significantly improved attitudes toward suicide and enhanced knowledge about it. Thus, the gatekeeper training package can be used in other active training methods to educate commanders to prevent suicide.

Background: Substance use has been a challenge for humanity since ancient times. Given the problems associated with substance use and the challenges of its treatment, it is essential to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of this issue in various populations, especially in work environments. Military organizations play a crucial role in raising awareness, preventing substance use, and reducing harm among soldiers. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of substance use (specifically cannabis, morphine, and amphetamine) and the demographic characteristics of soldiers hospitalized in a military hospital. Methods: A total of 380 Iranian soldiers who were admitted to a military hospital with various diagnoses in 2018 were selected as the research sample. Urine samples from the soldiers were analyzed using kits for morphine, amphetamine, and cannabis, and demographic questionnaires were completed. Results: The prevalence of substance use among soldiers who were admitted to the military hospital was observed to be 18%, with cannabis, morphine, and amphetamine use at 10%, 6%, and 2%, respectively. The majority of the soldiers studied were unmarried, had no university education, were unemployed, and had low incomes. Conclusions: The prevalence of substance use is high among soldiers who are unmarried, lack a university education, are unemployed, and have low incomes.

Background: The complement system plays a role in chronic immune activation during viral infections. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the levels of saliva and serum complements C3 and C4 in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients and healthy individuals. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 36 severe and 22 critical COVID-19 hospitalized patients and 22 healthy individuals. Serum and unstimulated salivary C3 and C4 levels were assessed using the immunoturbidimetric method and analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) with the Student-Newman-Keuls test as a post hoc analysis. Results: Salivary C3 and C4 levels were significantly lower in patients with severe and critical COVID-19 than in healthy individuals. There was no significant difference between the groups infected with severe and critical COVID-19. Serum C3 and C4 levels were lower in critical COVID-19 patients than in healthy individuals; nevertheless, no significant difference was observed between severe COVID-19 patients and healthy individuals. Additionally, serum C4 levels were lower in critical COVID-19 patients than in severe COVID-19 patients. Conclusions: It appears that serum and salivary C3 and C4 levels decrease in patients with COVID-19 infection.

Background: Gastric cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Objectives: This study describes the epidemiologic, pathologic, imaging, and surgical findings of patients with gastric cancer referred to a tertiary hospital in Tehran, Iran. Methods: This was a single-center cross-sectional study. All the patients referred for a staging laparoscopy of gastric cancer in a tertiary hospital in Tehran, Iran, were included. Results: A total of 30 patients participated in the study. The mean age of the patients was 62 ± 12.6 years, of whom 76.7% were male. None of the patients had a family history of gastric cancer. Four patients were active smokers, 1 had opium addiction, and 1 had a history of chronic alcohol use. Most patients (n = 29) had at least 1 symptom or were symptomatic for 2.8 months (2.8 ± 2.3 months). The most common clinical complaints were abdominal pain, weight loss, and nausea. Within the follow-up period, 43.3% (n = 13) of the patients expired. The Kaplan-Meier diagram of the study revealed a mean survival time of 8.4 ± 2.1 months within the 2-year follow-up, with a median of 6.0 ± 2.3 months. Conclusions: Our results confirmed the previous findings of the clinicopathologic characteristics of gastric cancer patients. Our primary findings were a younger mean age at the diagnosis, advanced stages of cancer at the first visit, low rates of comorbidity and risk factors, an overall survival rate of 43.3%, and a mean survival time of 8.4 ± 2.1 months in 2 years of follow-up.
