Co-creating a sustainable blue economy for sweden

Wehn, Linders and Barquet explain how the MISTRA C2B2 programme is working to bring about transformative change in participatory ocean governance in Sweden. The ocean – the new frontier of human activity – is being redefined by new discoveries, technologies, national strategies, and ecological imperatives. Yet, it is undeniable that the status of most seas is in decay – and if the goal would be to restore or improve their status, then most human activities should be banned. Instead, we witness that, in recent years, the blue economy is promoted as an answer to energy and food insecurity, as well as to an increased demand for shipping of goods, and transport of people and services. So, humanity depends on marine livelihoods, but the blue economy is also rapidly increasing pressure on the long-term sustainability of marine ecosystems.

The risk of malignant pleural mesothelioma

Although the use of asbestos-containing building materials was banned in the UK in 1999, this carcinogenic mineral continues to be a serious health threat. Daniel J. Murphy from the University of Glasgow tells us more. The UK currently endures the highest incidence of Mesothelioma worldwide: 45 annual fatalities/million population; 1/212 male lifetime risk (1), making asbestos the leading cause of occupation-related mortality in the UK. (2) Although the use of asbestos-containing building materials was banned in the UK in 1999, an estimated 1.5 million UK buildings are thought to contain up to six million tons of asbestos – including 94% of hospitals, 80% of schools and 74% of university buildings.

Early detection of algal infection using direct real-time chemical ionization mass spectrometry

Robert S. Pomeroy, Teaching Professor at UC San Diego, guides us through the early detection of algal infections using direct real-time chemical ionization mass spectrometry. Petroleum, from the Latin “rock oil,” has transformed our lives. It has changed how we live, work, and play. Petroleum is, however, nothing more than ancient algae. The transformation of biomass to hydrocarbons results from being subjected to heat and pressure over millions of years. Algae accumulate oils that, when extracted, can be converted into renewable fuels such as gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel. In 1978, the U.S. Department of Energy launched the Aquatic Species Program to investigate energy production using algae. (1) The establishment of this program coincided with the rapidly rising fuel cost due to the Oil Embargo in 1973 and led to the creation of the U.S. Department of Energy.

Critical Analysis of Electric Toothbrushes: Implications for Oral Care and Recommendations for Specific User Groups
Authors: Huang Ming
Published: October 2023

Oral diseases have a lot of adverse effects on people’s health. Oral care has become an important part of People’s Daily maintenance of oral health. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the relationship between the type of electric toothbrush and a specific oral care population. This study will use the method of secondary research to review the relevant literature to answer the research questions. The results show that Oral-B is superior to Philips in both the treatment of gingivitis and plaque, but the Philips toothbrush still cleans better than a manual toothbrush. Secondly, children with disabilities can benefit from electric toothbrushes, because electric toothbrushes provide better plaque removal than manual toothbrushes. However, electric toothbrushes do not give disabled children the same cleaning results as ordinary people. Thirdly, in terms of enamel wear, sonic toothbrushes wear enamel more severely than vibrating toothbrushes. However, in terms of cementum, sonic toothbrush has less damage to cementum. In general, sonic toothbrushes are less harmful than vibrating toothbrushes. Practically speaking, this study suggests that ordinary consumers should choose Oral-B toothbrush more often than Philips toothbrush. Moreover, it is suggested that disabled children use electric toothbrushes to achieve better cleaning effect. However, as ordinary electric toothbrushes cannot make up for the defects of disabled children, it is suggested that relevant health institutions develop electric toothbrushes specially for disabled children. Furthermore, for those with sensitive and fragile teeth, the study recommends that they use a sonic toothbrush instead of vibrating toothbrush.

Published: October 2023

Thermophilic microorganisms are microorganisms that are stable over a wide range of harsh environmental conditions. Thermophillic amylase enzyme producing bacteria live at 45°C–80°C. Thermostable microbial amylases are more simplified and economical than other sources. The present research was aimed to isolate, identify and characterize thermostable amylase producing bacterial isolated from Budamada hot spring of Misrak Badawacho woreda. Thirty samples were collected from the source. Totally 18 isolates were isolated and 10 isolates were screened based on their ability to hydrolyze starch. Different biochemical tests were done to identify isolates based on Bergey’s Manual of systematic bacteriology. The results revealed that three enzymes from Bacillus spp. (SED2), Pseudomonas spp. (SED5) and Bacillus spp. (SED7) have maximum activity at 4% starch, 65˚C and pH of 8.5. Lactobacillus spp. (W20-0) and Bacillus cereus (SED12-1) at 8% starch, 75 and 65˚C, 8.5 and 7.5 pH respectively. Bacillus subtilis (W26-2) Bacillus licheniformis (W20-1), Lactobacillus spp. (SED10) at 6%starch; 35, 65, 45˚C; 6.5, 4.5, 4.5 PH., Bacillus spp.(SED8-3)&Bacillus spp. (W9) at 4% & 2%, 55˚C, 8.5 &4.5 pH and have maximum activity at 4% starch, 65˚C and pH of 8.5 and at 8% starch, 75 and 65˚C, 8.5 and 7.5 pH respectively., Lactobacillus spp. (SED10) at 6% starch; 35, 65, 45˚C; 6.5, 4.5, 4.5 PH. Bacillus spp. (SED8-3) and Bacillus spp.(W9) at 4% and 2%, 55˚C, 8.5 &4.5 PH. The amylase produced by bacterial isolates from Budamada hot spring was thermostable and performed from 65oC up to 75˚C. For most of the enzymes the optimum temperature was observed to be 65˚C; whereas optimum substrate concentration and pH for most of them were 4% starch and 8.5pH respectively. They were active at a various starch conditions (2%-10%), pH of 4.5-8.5, and temperature of 35-75°C.Generally, the bacteria isolated were thermophilic and produced thermostable amylase. Therefore, Budamada hot spring could be the source of thermophilic microorganisms and thermozymes as well.
Baroque and Cameralism: Towards an Intellectual History of Economic Thinking
Authors: Raskov D.
Published: October 2023

The Baroque, as an era and style in architecture, music, and literature, shares analogies with the history of early political economy. The main purpose of this article is to show that the use of the notion of the Baroque in the intellectual history of economic thinking provides a better understanding of both the corpus of works and the motivations of the authors. It is common to refer to the era preceding classical political economy as mercantilism or cameralism, as its German version. A close acquaintance with the most prominent figures of cameralism — such as Johann Joachim Becher and Johann Heinrich Gottlob Justi — raises questions. How can we understand such amazing productivity and desire to work simultaneously in such different fields, not limited to agriculture, finance, security, police, ethics, but touching upon law, natural philosophy, and natural sciences, humor, and such questions as making paints or turning sand into gold? Why are they so versatile and multifaceted? Why such immense mobility and desire to impress, charm and at the same time to create verbose intrigue, to intentionally obscure their meaning, to bring about a certain level of confusion? Why this manner of writing and the famous projectionism — those which are courageous and comic at the same time? In some cases, it is the juxtaposition of the two labels that will give a better understanding of the corpus of texts — Baroque and Cameralism. In addition, states had new demands for maintaining a permanent army, for building roads and buildings, for displaying grandeur and glory. The festive splendor of Versailles needed a Baroque man. Many obscure manifestations of economic thought become clearer through the prism of Baroque terms. The corpus of works exhibits vitality, excess, a desire for a new pathos, and optimism.
For the Love of Opera
Authors: Žižek S. , Dolar M.
Published: October 2023

Drawing on the ideas of Sigmund Freud and Jacques Lacan, Mladen Dolar and Slavoj Žižek, founders of the Ljubljana school of psychoanalysis, turn in their work to opera, with Mladen Dolar focusing on Mozart and Slavoj Žižek on Wagner. The title of their work refers to the two deaths, symbolic and real, of which Lacan speaks in connection with ethics and aesthetics in his Seminar VII. Death, along with love, forms the center of both the operatic and the psychoanalytic narrative. Recently, the psychoanalytic approach to opera has become notorious. Typically, its product is a deconstructionist reading of the libretto or, even worse, a rather primitive Freudian debunking of its (patriarchal, anti-Semitic, and/or anti-feminist) prejudices. However, the authors argue that opera deserves better. The historical relationship between opera and psychoanalysis is suggestive. The moment of the birth of psychoanalysis (early twentieth century) is also often perceived as the moment of the death of opera—as if after psychoanalysis, opera, at least in its traditional form, was no longer possible. Not surprisingly, echoes of Freudianism are present in most contenders for the title of the last opera.
Ethical Leadership at Work and with Friends and Family: Within-Person and Between-Raters Variability Matters
Authors: Palanski Michael , Hammond Michelle , Kim Jayoung , Vogelgesang Lester Gretchen , Clapp Smith Rachel
Published: October 2023

Despite its theoretical grounding in the personal moral characteristics of leaders, most research on Brown et al.’s (2005) ethical leadership construct has tended to ignore the personal life (friends/family) aspects of leaders. In this study, we consider ethical leadership behavior in both work and non-work (i.e., with friends and family) domains at both the intra-individual (domain) and individual (leader as a whole person) levels of analysis. We examine our research questions with a sample of 104 leaders and their 1,458 raters in executive MBA programs in the United States and Ireland. Our findings demonstrate that ethical leadership operates at the individual level of analysis in both work and non-work contexts, with the implication that researchers should consider both the mean and variation of ethical leadership. Our findings also indicate strong within-domain and limited cross-domain effects of ethical leadership and ethical leadership variation on cognitive trust, affective trust, and abusive supervision.

Analysis of Leadership Style, Organizational Culture, and Organizational Commitment on Employee Performance Moderated by Reward System
Authors: Pahotan Jones , Wibowo Widhianto Chandra
Published: October 2023

Employee performance has a very important role in the success of a company. Employees who have good performance will help the company achieve its goals and vision, but not all have good performance; some employees only meet sufficient criteria, as happened with the employees of RM SME Regional Office Jakarta 1 PT. Plat Merah Berwarna Biru Bank. This research aims to analyze the role of reward system variables in moderating the influence of leadership style, organizational Culture, and organizational commitment on employee performance. This research is categorized as causality research with a quantitative approach. The sample was determined using a simple random sampling technique. Research data was collected by distributing questionnaires to 145 samples. Data analysis was carried out using the partial least squares method through the SmartPLS version 3 program. The research results show that each variable of leadership style, organizational culture, organizational commitment, and reward system directly has a significant effect on employee performance. The reward system can only moderate the influence of organizational culture on employee performance, but the reward system has yet to moderate the influence of leadership style and organizational commitment on employee performance.

Welfare states and their economic policies in a comparative perspective
Authors: Dr. Maha Karim Ali
Published: October 2023

the research aimed to determine the scope and direction of the economic and social policy in achieving the welfare of society and analyze the main features of the comparison countries, by standing on the extent of Welfare that each country was able to achieve through the results obtained While the importance of the research lies in presenting these comparative models as guiding devices to clarify the analytical differences in determining the role of the state and the status of each pattern of welfare states that produced a policy somewhat different from the policy of economic freedom, The study provided a theoretical and methodological framework to explain differences in the policy of global welfare states. By addressing the patterns of welfare states and the models of social and economic policy followed, and identifying the dimensions of variation that are central to the comparative analysis of welfare states. Therefore, the research problem is centered around the fact that the countries that have achieved a welfare economy are countries based on a market economy. Achieving a welfare economy requires a leading role for the state, and this role is considered an intervention in the market economy. To what extent is this intervention and what are the economic policies adopted by the countries, which made them not on one the line of one initiation in the welfare ladder, Therefore, this sample was selected from countries that differed in their levels of well-being according to their economic policies and the method used, such as Sweden, which had the highest levels of well-being. And France, which mediated the welfare ladder, and Britain, which reached the lowest levels of welfare, in order to know the importance of the approved policy and its role in achieving levels of welfare in order to benefit from it as a method for countries. which seeks to achieve prosperity for its country and its people. Therefore, the most important conclusion came, that the welfare states that attained the highest levels of welfare, the state had a decisive role in three basic tracks: first, by ensuring a minimum income for individuals and families, second, by meeting certain types of social emergencies, and third, by ensuring that all citizens are equal in basic welfare services. Therefore, the most important recommendation came that the state must intervene in a situation regardless of the market mechanism, to create a state of balance between market freedom and social imbalances to achieve a higher degree of social justice.

Authors: FELISSI Yacine
Published: October 2023

Pericallosal aneurysms can affect any segment of the anterior cerebral artery distal to the anterior communicating artery. They represent relatively 9% of all intracranial aneurysms and are mainly revealed by a hemorrhagic stroke in different forms. This retrospective study reviewed all patients that received clipping for DACA aneurysms among all cases of brain aneurysms. 10 patients were included in this group and several parameters were evaluated. 60% of patients were female and their ages ranged from 44 to 78 years. 80% of candidates complained of headaches and 50% presented seizures clipping. 60% of patients presented an IPH at their first presentation while SAH was found in half of them. A good WFNS score was noticed and almost of patients (80 %) were graded I. Most of aneurysms (80%) were located at the pericallosal – callosomarginal junction. We had two cases (20%) with additional aneurysms in other localizations. All of them received microsurgical clipping. most of them had good short and long -term follow-ups. We had one death after several systemic complications. DACA aneurysms are revealed at a small size with the onset of cingular hematoma or SAH, especially in the interhemispheric cistern. This could affect the cognitive functions and is considered a determining factor in the patient’s quality of life. The surgical clipping is an effective and durable option for their management

The articles presented here engage with some of the multifaceted and intersecting challenges faced by young people today – these include conflict, insecurity, limited government support, deep-set gender discrimination, climate change, infectious disease and a widespread lack of decent jobs. While recognising the structural influences on young people’s circumstances, the articles gathered here bring young people’s perspectives, experiences and actions to the fore. With an eye on the future, and a sense of the past, this collection is situated in the present. Most of the research presented here stems from the British Academy’s Youth Futures research funding scheme. The results showcased here remind us how the present matters in and of itself, while influenced by the past and playing a key role in shaping the future. Thus there is a triple significance to understanding young people’s challenges: they matter for today and for how they impact tomorrow, and will be best understood with reference to the past.

In contexts with fragile governance structures, young people face a unique set of challenges in their efforts to demand accountability or participate in decision-making. The expected relationship between participation and accountability as understood in liberal, democratic settings is often absent and instead demands for accountability are often made through strategies ‘at the margins’. Using Palestine as a case study, we show how young people look for accountability beyond state institutions and the national scale, using diverse strategies depending on their embedded position in society. This analysis sheds light on the complex reality of youth participation and accountability mechanisms in socially, politically and physically contested spaces and, by extension, points towards challenges and opportunities in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals.

İslami finansın, geleneksel finans sistemine alternatif olarak ortaya çıktığı ve teknolojinin gelişmesiyle birlikte yeni nesil teknolojileri benimseyerek, alanda yenilikçi ürün ve hizmetleri geliştirdiği ifade edilmektedir. İslami finansal teknoloji (FinTech), İslami finans ürün ve hizmetlerini İslam hukuku temel ilkelerine uygun olarak dijital platformlarda kullanılabilir hale getirmeyi amaçlayan bir kavramdır. İslami finans ve İslami FinTech girişimlerinin, tanınırlığının ve pazar payının yıllar içinde büyüme gösterdiği bilinmektedir. İslami FinTech, finansal işlemlerin hızlı ve kolay bir şekilde gerçekleşmesine olanak sağlayarak finansal erişimi arttırma ve İslami finansın büyümesine ve yayılmasına katkı sağlamaktadır. İslami finans kurum ve kuruluşlarının arzuladıkları pazar paylarına ulaşmaları ve rekabetin yoğun olduğu piyasada hedeflerine ulaşabilmeleri için finansal teknolojileri benimsemeleri ve İslami finansın ilkelerine uygun paydaşlarla iş birliği yapmaları önem arz etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, İslami finans alanında İslam hukuku ilkelerine uygun FinTech çözümleri incelenmektedir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, İslami finans ürünleri ve hizmetlerinde finansal teknolojilerin yaygınlaştırılmasının, İslami finans sektörünün büyümesine ve gelişmesine olumlu katkılar sağlayacağı beklenmektedir. Dijital dönüşüm ve gelişim süreci içerisinde finans piyasasında yoğun bir şekilde yer alan FinTech uygulamalarının, İslami finans pazarının büyümesi konusunda gelecekte de önemli rollere sahip olacağı değerlendirilmektedir. Özellikle FinTech şirketlerinin sayısının artması, finansal hizmetlere erişim sorunu yaşayan bireylerin kayıt dışı yatırımlarının finans piyasasına girişini hızlandırabileceği ve İslami finans sisteminin gelişimi ile toplumsal adaletin sağlanmasına olumlu katkılarda bulunabileceği ifade edilebilir.

Günümüzde, dijital ekonominin hızlı gelişimi çevrimiçi platformların, kripto varlıkların ve dijital hizmetlerin artan kullanımıyla birlikte geleneksel vergi sistemlerinin sınırlarını zorlamaktadır. Blokzincir teknolojisi (BZT) uygulamaları, merkezi olmayan ve şeffaf yapıları ile bu karmaşıklıkların üstesinden gelme potansiyeline sahiptir. Çalışmada, giderek dijitalleşen ekonomilerin hızla gelişen dünyasında blokzincir teknolojisi uygulamalarının vergilemede mevcut zorluklara çözüm olabilme potansiyeli ele alınmıştır. Bu kapsamda, blokzincir teknolojisi uygulamalarının hızla dijitalleşen ekonomilerin vergilendirilmesinde kullanımının avantajları ve uygulama alanları ayrıntılı bir şekilde açıklanmıştır.
Blokzincir teknolojisinin, vergi beyanlarının ve ödemelerinin takibi ve otomatikleştirilmesi, beyan süreçlerinin güvenilirliğinin artırılması gibi muhtelif vergileme konularında nasıl bir çözüm sunabileceği vurgulanmıştır. Blokzincir teknolojisinin giderek dijitalleşen ekonomilerin vergilendirilmesindeki potansiyeli ve bu teknolojinin vergi otoriteleri, şirketler ve bireyler için nasıl faydalı olabileceği tartışılmıştır. Ayrıca, vergi kaçakçılığı ve vergi dolandırıcılığı gibi sorunlarla mücadelede blokzincir teknolojisinin nasıl etkili bir araç olabileceği de gösterilmeye çalışılmıştır. Dijital ekonominin hızla değişen yapısı, hükümetlerin ve düzenleyici kurumların bu teknolojiyi izlemesi ve uyumlu bir şekilde entegre etmesi için gereken esneklik ve hız açısından zorluklar da ortaya çıkarabilmektedir. Çalışmada, blokzincir teknolojisinin vergilendirme alanında kullanımına yönelik bazı zorluklara da değinilmiştir.
Çalışma sonucunda; blokzincir teknolojisinin genel olarak vergilendirme alanında da kullanılmaya başlanması gerektiği, ancak uygulamadaki birçok zorluk ve yetersizlikten dolayı bu teknolojinin bir süre daha gelişmesi ile önümüzdeki yıllarda vergilendirme alanındaki uygulamaların yaygınlaşacağı düşüncesinin hâkim olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Henüz gelişme aşamasında olduğu anlaşılan bu teknolojinin vergilendirme alanında yaygınlaşması için gerek ulusal gerekse küresel düzeyde birçok çalışmanın yapılması ve ayrıca yasal düzenlemelerin de bir an önce yürürlüğe konulması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
Enerji Tüketimi ve İnsani Gelişme İlişkisi: Fourier Genişletilmiş ARDL Yaklaşımından Kanıtlar

Üretim sürecinde temel girdi olan enerjinin tüketim düzeyi ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkiyi inceleyen geniş bir literatür bulunmaktadır. Refahın parasal kısmına odaklanan bu çalışmalar sağlık ve eğitim gibi kalkınma boyutunu göz ardı etmektedir. Enerji tüketiminin kalkınma üzerindeki etkisi son yıllarda çalışılmasına rağmen konu üzerinde bir uzlaşıdan söz edilememektedir. Enerji-kalkınma ilişkisinin analizi kalkınma sürecinde enerjinin bir politika aracı olarak kullanılabilmesine olanak tanıyabilmektedir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de 1990-2021 döneminde birincil enerji tüketiminin kalkınma (gezegensel baskılara uyarlanmış insani gelişme endeksi) üzerindeki etkisi Fourier genişletilmiş ARDL yöntemiyle incelenmiştir. Sınır testi sonuçlarına göre değişkenler arasında eşbütünleşme ilişkisi bulunmaktadır. Uzun dönemde enerji tüketiminin insani gelişme endeksi üzerindeki etkisi pozitif ve anlamlıdır. Nedensellik testi sonuçları uzun dönemde enerji tüketiminden insani gelişmeye doğru tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu sonuçlara göre insani gelişme düzeyinin yükseltilmesinde enerji tüketimi bir araç olarak kullanılabilmektedir. Enerji tüketim düzeyinin yenilenebilir enerjilere daha fazla ağırlık verilerek yükseltilmesinin insani gelişmede gezegensel baskıdan kaynaklanan kaybın azalmasını sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir. Yenilenebilir enerjilere ek olarak nükleer enerjinin de devreye alınması insani gelişme düzeyini yükseltirken daha az karbon salınımı yapılmasını sağlayacaktır. Ayrıca enerjiye erişimin daha kapsamlı ve kesintisiz bir şekilde sağlanması gerekmektedir.
Nükleer Enerji Düşük Karbon Ekonomisine Geçiş için Bir Alternatif Olabilir mi? Kavramsal Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Türköz Kumru
Published: October 2023

Kömür, petrol, doğalgaz gibi geleneksel enerji kaynakları uzun vadede küresel enerji talebini karşılamada sınırlara yaklaşmaktadır. Bu kaynakların halen küresel enerji ihtiyacının çok büyük bir kısmını karşılaması ve enerji yoğunluğunun hızlı bir şekilde artması bu kaynakların hızla tükenmesine neden olmaktadır. Diğer taraftan yakıldığında yüksek düzeyde karbon açığa çıkaran bu kaynaklar iklim değişikliği ve küresel ısınma problemlerinin de temel nedenidir. Bu nedenle düşük karbon ekonomisine geçerek mevcut bu riskleri ortadan kaldırmak pek çok ülkenin öncelikli hedefi haline gelmiştir. Bu noktada, düşük karbon ekonomisi için temiz bir enerji kaynağı olarak yenilenebilir enerji ve nükleer enerji kaynakları ön plana çıkmaktadır. Yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının ülkelerin karbonsuzlaştırma ya da en azından karbon yoğunluğunu azaltma hedeflerini tutturmada önemli ve temiz bir enerji kaynağı olduğu ile ilgili literatürde geniş bir fikir birliği mevcuttur. Ancak nükleer enerjinin düşük karbon ekonomisi için uzun vadeli bir alternatif olup olamayacağı halen tartışma konusudur. Buradan yola çıkarak bu çalışmada, tam olarak ‘’karbon nötr’’ olarak adlandırılamasa da geleneksel enerji kaynaklarıyla kıyaslandığında daha az çevresel bozulmaya yol açan nükleer enerjiyi sürdürülebilirlik, güvenlik ve çevresel boyutlarıyla ele alarak düşük karbon ekonomisi açısından kavramsal bir değerlendirme yapmak hedeflenmiştir.

İklim değişikliği insan sağlığı açısından doğrudan ve dolaylı olarak önemli bir risk faktörü oluşturmaktadır. Sağlık üzerindeki doğrudan ve dolaylı etkilere sıcak/soğuk hava dalgalarının, hava kirliliğinin ve alerjenlerin neden olduğu düşünülmektedir. İklim değişikliğinin temel nedeninin ise karbondioksit ve diğer sera gazı emisyonları olduğu ifade edilmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada iklim değişikliğini temsilen kişi başı karbondioksit emisyonu ve insan sağlığını temsilen ölüm oranı, doğuşta yaşam beklentisi ve mortalite değişkenleri kullanılmıştır. Ölüm oranı kaba ölüm hızını gösterirken mortalite değişkeni kardiyovasküler, kanser, diyabet veya kronik solunum hastalıklarından ölüm oranını yansıtmaktadır. İklim değişikliğinin insan sağlığı üzerindeki etkisi az gelişmiş, gelişmekte olan ve gelişmiş ülke grupları için 1990-2020 yılları arasında nedensellik analizi ile araştırılmıştır. Sonuçta az gelişmiş ülke grubunda yer alan Benin, Malavi, Etiyopya, Mali, Mozambik, Sudan, Somali; gelişmekte olan ülke grubunda bulunan Hindistan, Endonezya, Tayland, Çin, Filipinler; gelişmiş ülke grubunda yer alan İrlanda, Hollanda, Finlandiya, İsviçre için iklim değişikliğinden insan sağlığına doğru istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir nedensellik elde edilmiştir.

The objective: to study the frequency and nature of postoperative complications, immediate and postponed results of resection interventions in pulmonary tuberculosis patients depending on the presence and pathomorphological parameters of local infl ammatory changes in the bronchial tree.

Subjects and Methods. 147 pulmonary tuberculosis patients who underwent pulmonary resection were enrolled in the prospective cohort study. Main Group (n=49) included patients with local infl ammatory changes in the bronchi before surgery; Comparison Group (n=98) included patients with no infl ammatory changes in the bronchi.

Results. The presence of local infl ammatory changes in the bronchial tree detected by bronchoscopy, did not have a signifi cant impact on the development of complications during surgical treatment - neither on their number nor on structure. The incidence of complications of resection interventions depends on severity of tuberculosis lesions in the lung.
