Postmodern Masal Uyarlaması Olarak Sihirli Orman Filmi
Authors: SAYILGAN Özge , CIVAŞ Gökçen
Published: September 2021

Bu araştırma kapsamında Sihirli Orman (2014) filmi postmodern bir masal uyarlaması olarak incelenmiş, ayrıca anti-masal kavramsallaştırması bağlamında tartışmaya açılmıştır. Dört farklı masal içeriği (Kırmızı Başlıklı Kız, Rapunzel, Jack ve Fasulye Sırığı, Külkedis) ile bu masalların merkezi kahramanlarının yolculuklarını bir orman içinde kesiştirerek metinlerarası bir anlatı inşa eden film özellikle kahramanların toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine yapılan dönüştürücü müdahaleler ile kendi istenç ve kaderlerini sorgulamaya açmaları sonucunda eleştirel bir perspektife yerleşmektedir. Araştırmanın ilk aşamasında Campbell’ın Kahramanın yolculuğu modelinden yola çıkılarak metin analizi yapılmış, her kahramanın birbiri içine girip, yeni sözdizim olasılıklarını açan yolculukları çözümlenmiştir. Bu çalışma kapsamında klasik anlatıya yapılan postmodern ve dönüştürücü etkiler bulunmuştur. İkinci aşamada ise Gérard Genette’in anlatı içeren metinler için önerdiği söylem analizi metoduna başvurulmuştur. Araştırmanın sonucunda Sihirli Orman filminin, her ne kadar postmodern bir anlatı olarak kabul edilse de, hikaye (içerik) düzeyinde var olan toplumsal iktidar ilişkilerini, toplumsal cinsiyet pratiklerini ve ataerkil düşünceyi yeniden üreten söylemlere sahip olduğu bulunmuştur.

Authors: Dwivedi Aradhana , Bhatt Reema Kumar , Kishore Kamal
Published: September 2021

Background: About 3-5% of pregnancies are complicated by chromosomal aberrations and birth defects. In the past prenatal genetic testing is identified to be largely restricted to the detection of chromosomal abnormalities like aneuploidy. With advances in the field of medical genetics, there has been substantial rise in use of prenatal genetic testing and we wanted to find out the same in our cohort of patients.Methods: Study design was retrospective, single-center observational study. Pregnant patients who underwent invasive testing for prenatal genetic disorder at fetal medicine specialty were considered for inclusion in the study. The invasive procedures that were performed in our study were amniocentesis, chorionic villous sampling (CVS) and cordocentesis.Results: Total 515 pregnant women underwent prenatal testing. Amniocentesis was the most common procedure to be performed accounting for about 74% of total cases. In our cohort, abnormal aneuploidy screening was the most common indication for performing prenatal diagnosis (64% of cases), while 12.8 % underwent prenatal diagnosis due to abnormalities/genetic disorder in previous child. Abnormalities in antenatal ultrasonography accounted for 16% of cases. Quantitative fluorescene polymerase chain reaction, rapid aneuploidy testing (QFPCR) was performed in all the cases. Karyotype was performed in 273 cases while chromosomal microarray was performed on 92 samples. Multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (MLPA) was done for 15 patients. Targeted mutation testing (Sanger sequencing) was done on 121 prenatal samples. Exome sequencing was performed on 14 fetuses. Out of 515 a total of 79 fetuses (15.3%) were found to have genetic disorder.  Aneuploidies were identified in 11 fetuses (2.1%), 12 fetuses (2.3%) were found to have pathogenic CNVs (Copy number variants). Single gene disorders were found in 56 fetuses (10.8%). Conclusions: We have moved very rapidly from Karyotyping to chromosomal microarray to exome sequencing. There has been rapid change in the indications for prenatal Diagnosis from yesteryears with coming of new era of genetics.

Authors: Mahilange Anchala
Published: September 2021

Background: Hysterectomy is the most common gynaecological surgical procedure after caesarean section. In India there is lower rate (4-6%) of hysterectomy has been reported, while there is higher frequency of hysterectomy (10-20%) in developed countries. Currently there are three main types of hysterectomy operations in practice for benign diseases abdominal hysterectomy, vaginal hysterectomy and laparoscopic hysterectomy. Abdominal hysterectomy remains the predominant method of uterus removal. The present study was planned t to analyse changes in the trends of hysterectomy from past 3 year in the study area.Methods: The present observational study was conducted in department of obstetrics and gynaecology and associated Dr. B.R.A.M. hospital Raipur (CG), India. Data was collected retrospectively from January 2009 to May 2012 from hospital medical records. Prospectively data was obtained from patient and his file from June 2013 to September 2014. Data was compiled in MS-excel and checked for its completeness and correctness, and then it was analyzed by using suitable software.Results: Total no of hysterectomy conducted in study duration was 1000. Study showed declining trend of hysterectomy in our institute. Most common age group of hysterectomy was 41-50 year. which 45.8% followed by age group 31-40 that is 32.5%. Most common indication of hysterectomy was fibroid uterus 33.6% followed by prolapse uterus 29.5%. 29% cases were operated via vaginal route for descent of uterus and 21% cases operated by vaginal route for non-descent uterus.50% cases were operated via abdominal route. Average operating time for TAH was 1.43±0.50, for VH was 1.08±0.03. Average hospital stay for TAH was 8.87±3.31 and VH was 5.27±1.07. Conclusions: In our study it had been seen that rate of hysterectomy is in decreasing trend as more conservative approach is now preferred. To minimize most of complications of hysterectomy second opinion fresh eyes and multi-disciplinary approach is recommend in all patients undergoing this procedure.

Skilled Migrant Women’s Experiences of the Job Search Process
Authors: Lehtovaara Heidi , Jyrkinen Marjut
Published: September 2021

In this article, we address how skilled migrant women experience job search processes in Finland, and the expectations and emotions that arise from these workforce encounters, which we explore through unique qualitative data. Although Finland relies strongly on principles of equality and inclusion, highly educated migrant women face major difficulties in job application processes. The employment level of migrant women in Finland is low compared to other Nordic countries, and even though migrant women are more educated than migrant men and their Finnish language skills are better, they encounter many hurdles in employment. As a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, the situation is getting more difficult for many women with non-Finnish background.There are multiple hurdles in highly educated women workers’ employment, which relate to structural and cultural aspects and which end up in discrimination in recruitment processes.
Women’s Underrepresentation in Corporate Power in Norway and US: Beyond In-group Favoritism
Authors: Halrynjo Sigtona , Blair-Loy Mary
Published: September 2021

Despite increasing gender-equality in many areas, corporate power is still strongly male-dominated. Prevailing research often relies on the cognitive, demand-side mechanism of in-group favoritism based on single-country studies to produce generalized explanations of men’s dominance in top management and to recommend remedies, such as gender quotas on boards. However, existing research findings are mixed. We contribute to the research field by analyzing original data from 457 large companies in Norway and the US, examining associations of the gender-composition on boards and in the actual Executive Committees. The predictions of in-group favoritism are partly supported in the US, but largely not supported for Norwegian companies with gender-balanced boards due to quotas. We argue that in-group favoritism is an incomplete explanation. We call for research examining the organizational and societal processes curtailing the supply of qualified women for top-executive positions, across national and regulatory contexts and organizational levels.

Objective. Assessment of apoptosis proteins Bcl-2 and Bax indices before and after the open vascular reconstructions and X-ray endovascular interventions in patients with the peripheral atherosclerosis of the arteries of the lower extremities. Methods. The study included patients (n=40) with the peripheral atherosclerosis of the lower extremities arteries (stage III-IV) disease who underwent open surgery - group A, and patients (n=40) who underwent endovascular interventions - group B. Two apoptosis proteins were analyzed in blood serum: Bax and Bcl-2 initially before surgery, on the 1st day and after 1 month. The reference values of the studied parameters were determined in 40 healthy volunteers. Results. Initial Bax protein index - 27.1 ng / ml (р<0,001) were elevated in patients of group A and reduced Bax protein - 4.4 ng / ml (p=0.00008) in patients of group B compared with indices of healthy volunteers (16.5 ng / ml, 5.3 ng / ml, respectively). On the 1st day after the interventions in the patients of the operative groups there was an increasing tendency for Bax index to 35.6 ng / ml (p<0.001) - group A, to 25.6 ng/ml (p<0.001) - group B. By the end of 1st month, Bax was increased to 28 ng/ml (p<0.001) in patients of group A and Bcl-2 was reduced to 3.0 ng / ml (p=0.039) compared to the initial indices; in patients of group B, only protein Bax - 23.9 ng / ml (p<0.001) was increased. Conclusion. Open and endovascular intervention on the arteries of the lower extremities leads to the activation of the pro-apoptotic protein Bax on the 1st day after surgery. In the postoperative period the open reconstruction leads to an evaluation of the pro-apoptotic potential in comparison with endovascular intervention in the form of increasing Bax protein and reducing Bcl-2 by the end of the first month. What this paper adds The dynamics of changes markers Bcl-2 and Bax in apoptosis at different periods after surgery has been firstly studied in patients with atherosclerosis of peripheral arteries (stage III-IV) of the lower extremities. It has been found that the open surgery leads to a sufficient evaluation of the proapoptotic potential, i.e. the increasing Bax protein index on the 1st day and by the end of 1st month with reducing Bcl-2 index by the end of 1st month compared with the endovascular intervention.

Objective. To establish pathomorphologic peculiarities of palmar aponeurosis in the patients with Dupuytren’s contracture and concomitant virus hepatitis B and C. Methods. The data analysis of histomorphometric studies of the operation samples of 122 patients with Dupuytren’s contracture («Control» group, n=100) and Dupuytren’s contracture with virus hepatitis B and C («Hepatitis» group, n=22) were analyzed. Results. In patients of the «Hepatitis» group, the content of adiposed tissue in the palmar aponeurosis was 40.9% less (p <0.01) than in the «Control» group, and the content of dense connective tissue was 18.9% higher (p <0, 05). In all patients, arteries with the diameter up to 150 µm prevailed in the palmar aponeurosis, but in the «Hepatitis» group their percentage was reduced by 20%, with higher proportions of vessels with the diameter of 150-450 µm and the absence or recalibration of the largest arteries. In the «Control» group, the arteries had diameters from 50 to 660 µm, in the «Hepatitis» group they did not exceed 370 µm. Vessels less than 300 µm in diameter in both groups had comparable values of the Kernogan’s index. Arteries with a diameter of more than 300 microns in the «Hepatitis» group had higher values of the Kernogan’s index, which indicated a low conductance capacity compared to the vessels in the «Control» group. Most of the nerve trunks of the palmar aponeurosis in the patients of «Hepatitis» group showed signs of necrobiotic changes, i.e. fibrotic or swollen perineurium, withinflammatory cell infiltration, sometimes lost lamellar structure, and nerve fibers with signs of Wallerian degeneration. Conclusion. Obtained histomorphometric data of the tissue composition of palmar fascial fibromatosis, less amount of adiposed tissue and higher amount of dense connective one and more pronounced disorder of hemodynamics and innervation of the palmar aponeurosis in the group with concomitant virus hepatitis indicate significant effect of the liver pathology on the progression of the disease. What this paper adds For the first time, the pathomorphological features of the palmar aponeurosis have been studied in 122 patients with Dupuytren’s contracture and concomitant viral hepatitis B and C.It has been found that in patients with Dupuytren’s contracture and hepatitis in the palmar aponeurosis, the amount of adiposed tissue is reduced and the amount of dense connective tissue is increased; hemodynamic and innervation disorders are more pronounced.

Published: September 2021

The creation and implementation of new methods of study and local wound care occur in stages: in vitro, in vivo and clinical trials. The fundamental point of this process is to study the effect of the proposed agent on the experimental wound healing models of laboratory animals taking into consideration the common healing phases of course and similarity of animal wound healing with human one. At the initial stage the main problems faced by the researcher include the selection of the optimal experimental animal, while animal models are suitable for many skindisorders. The lack of strong evidence and relevant guidelines regarding the most appropriate form of local-wound care in literature and the fragmentation of the available information lead to the fact that during the development of the experiment, the scientists spend time, resources and operate on an additional number of animals. This article summarizes the literature data on the applied modeling methods as for the most common and rare types of skin wounds including burns and trophic ulcers in various laboratory animals. Those who prepared the experiment shouldhavepaidcloserattentionto thefeatures of creating such wounds and nuances so as the proven techniques of their creation in various species are shown. Variants of the course and prospects for the development of this area of surgery are presented.

Authors: Pestariati Dr. , Suhariyadi Dr.
Published: September 2021

Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative bacterium from Enterobacteriaceae family causes urinary tract infections (UTI). A major problem encountered in antibiotics therapy is Multiple Drug Resistant Organisms (MDROs). MDROs occur because of the presence of resistance coding genes such as CTX-M which causes bacteria to produce the Extended Spectrum Beta-Lactamase (ESBL) enzyme. This study aims to detect the presence of the CTX-M gene in Extended-Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) Escherichia coli isolated from UTI patients. The study was conducted at the Institute of Tropical Disease (ITD) Airlangga University, Jl. Mulyorejo Campus C Surabaya, Indonesia for polymerase chain reaction (PCR) examination. The isolation and identification of Escherichia coli bacteria were carried out at the Microbiology Laboratory Department in Poltekkes Kemenkes Surabaya, Jl. Karangmenjangan 18A, Surabaya, Indonesia. Conventional identification of Escherichia coli and the presence of the CTX-M gene were observed using the PCR method. The results showed that 18 of 30 samples (60%) were caused by Escherichia coli. Escherichia coli producing ESBL was found in 15 samples (83%), of which 12 samples (80%) showed the presence of the CTX-M gene.

Ceramic materials based on zirconia (ZrO2) are high-tech raw materials for structural products used in various fields of technology. ZrO2 has a wide range of application due to its unique strength characteristics, chemical resistance and fire resistance. However, the disadvantage of zirconium ceramics is low resistance to thermal shock, which limits its use in products functioning in conditions of frequent temperature changes. In this paper, we consider the possibility of increasing the resistance to thermal shock of ceramics based on zirconium dioxide, due to the introduction of an aluminum-magnesium spinel additive (MgAl2O4).

The article provides the analysis of PrDyFeCoB magnetic microstripes prepared by extracting material from a melt on a rotating cooling disk. The phases 2-14-1, 1-4-1 and 1-2, α-FeСо were verified in the samples. The division of a hysteresis loop into two strands shows that the coercive field of the α-FeСо phase (500–700 Oe) determines the width of the hysteresis loop near the zero field, while the coercive field of the 2-14-1 phase (10 kOe) corresponds to lateral hysteresis loops. The saturation magnetization increases by 25% with an increase in the disk rotation speed by 3 times together with correspondent acceleration of the cooling rate. This is due to the increase in the proportion of the soft magnetic phase α-FeCo and the increase in the proportion of the amorphous phase with a decrease in the proportion of the main magnetic phase 2-14-1. Strip domains and their dynamics during magnetization were detected using Kerr magneto-optical microscopy.

Published: September 2021

Background: The present investigation was carried out during the cropping season of year 2019-20 to find out the most suitable growing condition as well as variety of Asiatic lily for the production of bulbs/bulblets under Hisar (Haryana) conditions. Methods: The experiment was laid out in RBD (factorial) with three replications and twelve treatment combinations, comprising of three growing conditions (polyhouse of 200 µ, green shade-net of 50% shade and open field) and four varieties (Courier White, Tresor, Nova Lux and Red Stone). Result: These varieties of Asiatic lily when grown under polyhouse performed better in some parameters resulting in early bulb sprouting, maximum plant height and number of leaves/plant and the minimum days upto harvesting of bulbs, however, in other parameters viz. leaf length and width, weight of bulbs/plant, diameter of bulb and number of bulblets/plant, the shade-net condition was observed to be better than polyhouse. Overall, Tresor performed better, resulting in early bulb sprouting (5.11 days), minimum days (236.56) upto harvesting of bulbs and the maximum plant height (89.01 cm), number of leaves/plant (64.08), leaf length (9.50 cm), diameter of bulb (3.91 cm) and number of bulblets/plant (2.99) and it was followed by Red Stone which produced maximum weight of bulbs/plant (59.03 g) and observed next to Tresor in most of the parameters. Tresor grown under polyhouse took minimum days (231) upto the harvesting of bulbs, produced maximum plant height (115.13 cm) and number of leaves/plant (69.67) and it was closely followed by Red Stone grown under same condition. Further, under the shade-net, Red Stone produced maximum weight of bulbs/plant (65.30 g) followed by Tresor (63.93 g), while the maximum number of bulblets/plant (3.90) were produced by Tresor followed by Red Stone (3.44). Henceforth, Tresor and Red Stone when grown under polyhouse performed better in vegetative parameters and when grown under shade-net performed better in bulb parameters than the other combinations of growing conditions and varieties.

Published: September 2021

Furtherance of sex pre-selection techniques is extremely beneficial for the farm productivity and economic growth of the country. Several techniques such as flow cytometry, swim-up, percoll gradient centrifugation, lumisort and immunogenic spermatozoa sexing developed so far are reviewed with their principles, advantages, disadvantages and possible ways for developing a highly reliable and efficient technique to achieve success in obtaining offspring of the desired sex. Out of all these techniques available till now, sorting X- and Y- spermatozoa using fluorescence-activated cell sorter (FACS) is the most successful and commercially available technique, which employs sorting of spermatozoa based on DNA content. Despite its effectiveness, there are disadvantages concerning cost, sperm damage, trained technical person, low conception rate, etc. An alternative approach that might have potential significance could be the identification of sex-specific membrane marker proteins for the immunological method of spermatozoa sorting.

The study established that Lesson Study enhanced intergrade cooperation and curriculum development and flow. Participants regarded the collaborative experience as deeply enriching and fulfilling. Although some implementation challenges were encountered, these were not insurmountable and the overall benefits of Lesson Study outweighed the potential obstacles.
The challenges of transitioning from teacher to departmental head in seven primary schools
Authors: Jaca Nosipho Immaculate
Published: September 2021

The aim of this study was to identify key challenges of practice that departmental heads (DHs) face during their transition from a teacher to their DH role. The study was based on Bridges’ transition theory. The researcher employed a qualitative research methodology and interviewed 15 DHs working in the Department of Basic Education’s Tshwane South district. A thematic analysis of the collected data showed that the DHs experienced four main challenges during the transition process: negative change in teachers’ attitudes and behaviours, a lack of management/leadership skills, a lack of subject knowledge and heavy workloads and time constraints. Based on the above findings, the researcher concluded that transitioning from teacher to DH is more difficult than meets the eye. These findings imply that policymakers, researchers, school principals and teachers should work together to minimise challenges and ensure a smooth transition to the DH role for newly appointed DHs.
Students’ feelings about the online submission of assignments using Turnitin
Authors: Mtshali Muntuwenkosi Abraham
Published: September 2021

The integration of information and communication technologies (ICTs) into teaching and learning, and the implementation of computer-mediated methods of instruction in the form of e-learning in higher education, have led to the emergence of new methods of submitting assignments electronically. One of these methods employs a learning management system (LMS) for teaching, learning and assessment. While significant research has been conducted on this phenomenon in developed countries, little has been published on how students experience and perceive this method of submission in a developing country such as South Africa, where a slow pace of technological innovation in education has been reported. The mixed methods study on which this article is based reports on how the Moodle LMS was used in a business management education (BME) course of a Bachelor of Education undergraduate degree, where students had to submit assignments through Turnitin. The qualitative component had a sample of 15 participants selected from 156 students using phenomenography as a methodological approach. Personal reflective journals, focus group discussions and individual interviews were qualitative data sources. A questionnaire was used to collect quantitative data that was analysed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS). The study found that participants viewed this method of submitting assignments as a conduit for monitoring plagiarism in BME. Findings from the study may offer insight into how emerging economies might engage with the crucial aspect of developing student consciousness about the importance of speedy and safe delivery of assignments in ways that promote academic honesty.

Published: September 2021

Gastric cancer is a worldwide health problem. The addition of splenectomy to gastrectomy is a controversial issue, especially

in cases located on the greater curvature. In this study, it is aimed to find the factors affecting morbidity and mortality in gastrectomy

cases with splenectomy. Patients who underwent surgery for gastric cancer in Van Yuzuncu Yil University, Department of General

Surgery between January 2010 and January 2018 were retrospectively selected. Splenectomy cases were filtered out in all gastrectomy

patients. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative data of the patients were collected. The effects of the collected parameters on

morbidity and mortality were evaluated. A p value of less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. 45 patients were included

in the study. The mean age of all patients was 64.2 years (32-85) and the male to female ratio was 27/18. Thirty seven cases (82.2%)

were operated under elective conditions. The most common tumor location was cardia (n=24, 53.3%) and the most common surgical

method (n=39) was total gastrectomy (86.7%). Morbidity and mortality rate of the study were 46.6% (n=21) and 17.8% (n=8),

respectively. Mortality increased in patients who were operated in emergency conditions and received neoadjuvant therapy, p=0.002

and P=0.044, respectively. While surgery under emergency conditions increased mortality, preoperative neoadjuvant treatment

decreased mortality. However, there was no factor affecting morbidity. Splenectomy in gastric cancer surgery, if possible, should be

performed under elective conditions and after neoadjuvant therapy to reduce mortality
Modern trends in development of alternative powertrain systems for non-road machinery
Authors: Kalociński Tomasz
Published: September 2021

Continuously increasing excessive emission of exhaust gases from motor vehicles, and specifically internal combustion engines have been recognized as a major concern by most of the industrialized countries since mid- 1960s. Emission gases containing an air pollutants have been shown to impose variety of negative effects on public health and the natural environment. This leads to introduction of variety of different, alternative powertrain system solutions which could help in reduction of powertrain generated emissions. Mentioned reduction of pollutants generated by the machine can be reached by application of different powertrain system or improved utilization and control of the existing one.
Several different types of solutions have been considered over years as a concepts, prototypes or trial versions. Significant intensification of recent work across the globe have led the manufacturers to get their systems to the market pre-introduction or introduction stages. Alternative powered non-road machinery, either full electric, hybrid, fuel cell, or electrified have been already presented and successfully introduced.
This paper focuses on state of the art non-road machinery alternative powertrain solutions and its applications, either specific or with a nature of general purpose machine. Variety of powertrains have been presented with attention to their operational parameters and working principles. Research involves in depth considerations of energy transfer within different components of the powertrain and the entire machine.

Museografias do MASP
Authors:   Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Miyoshi Alexander Gaiotto
Published: September 2021

Desde o final de 1996, uma polêmica envolve a configuração museográfica do Museu de Arte de São Paulo: retiraram-se os cavaletes de vidro, suportes dos quadros propostos por Lina Bo Bardi, e colocaram-se altas e espessas paredes de gesso. A mudança dividiu opiniões e gerou uma série de manifestações em defesa de uma ou outra concepção expositiva. Se, por um lado, os defensores da proposta inicial pautaram-se na idéia de liberdade, novidade e no desenvolvimento histórico dos cavaletes de vidro – coerentes com um edifício concebido para este modo de exposição –, por outro, foram apresentados problemas técnicos e de apreciação das obras que deveriam ser corrigidos de modo a salvaguardar os quadros e “restaurar o equilíbrio fenomenológico e civilizacional entre a obra de arte e o suporte arquitetônico com o qual sempre dialogou – a parede –, elemento constitutivo de sua própria identidade histórica.”1 Veremos alguns dos argumentos utilizados como justificativa a cada proposta e o decorrente processo de tombamento do edifício pelo Iphan.
Uma escola revolucionária de arte: Vkhutemas/Vkhutein (1920-1930)
Authors:   Universidade de São Paulo, Miguel Jair Diniz
Published: September 2021

A arte de vanguarda do início do século XX está vinculada a lutas e confrontos que são tanto estéticos quanto sociais e políticos. Desse modo, a formação dos novos artistas passou a ser um importante modo de ampliação dos diversos “ismos”, em parte porque as academias de arte tradicionais não estavam mais conseguindo suprir as novas demandas e buscavam, ao mesmo tempo, preservar estruturas que não respondiam mais aos anseios buscados pela arte moderna.
