Investigation of the Impact of Tool Pin Geometry and Feed Rate Speed in Friction Stir Lap Welding of 7075 and 5182 Aluminum Alloys
Authors: Ekinci Ömer
Published: June 2024

7075 and 5182 aluminum alloys are crucial for aerospace and automotive applications, receptively. Joining these alloys can enable more economical and efficient structures. Therefore, weldability of these materials by friction stir lap welding (FSLW) was studied based on investigating influence of tool pin geometry (conical and cylindrical screw) and welding speed (22, 37 and 51 mm min-1) on weld microstructure and mechanical properties. Strong welds were acquired with both tools. However, stronger ones were made employing conical pin tool thanks to having a deeper weld penetration and denser microstructure. Weld strength improved with increasing tool advancing speed for conical pin tool since welded area width and vertical downward penetration increased while opposite of this occurred for cylindrical screw pin. While by conical pin, the strongest weld having 13033 N tensile load was made at 51 mm min-1, by cylindrical screw pin, the strongest weld with 12162 N was obtained at 22 mm min-1. It was an indication of a stronger weld formation for both tools when the lines formed through tool shoulder on top surface of upper sheet were broken into small particles and disappeared. Proper tool advancing speed value can show considerable variability depending on tool pin geometry.
Karyological variation of Clethrionomys glareolus (Mammalia: Rodentia) from Türkiye
Authors: Selçuk Ahmet Yesari , Şeker Perinçek Seçkinozan
Published: June 2024

Conventionally stained, C- banded and AgNOR stained karyotypes of Clethrionomys glareolus was studied from Samsun, Türkiye. Diploid chromosome number of a female C. glareolus specimen was found as 2n = 56, NFa = 56, and NF = 58. The karyotype consisted of a pair of small metacentric and 26 pairs of acrocentric chromosomes in different size. The X chromosomes were large acrocentrics. Similar to the result of past karyotype study on C. glareolus, the C-positive and C-negative heterochromatin blocks observed in the karyotype. As a difference from the results of a previous study, NORs were localized on the six acrocentric chromosome pairs instead seven pairs. Thus, a chromosomal variation among C. glareolus populations was determined due to variability in the number of NOR bearing autosomes. In this way, it was contributed to the determination of intraspecific variations of this species and to Türkiye's biodiversity at the level of genetic diversity.

Authors: Tan Hasan Onur , Atasoy Selçuk , Aktaş Sitki
Published: June 2024

In this study, the effect of boriding temperature and time on the structural and mechanical properties of M42 high speed steel were investigated. Samples placed in Ekabor II powder were exposed to pack boriding treatment at 900°C and 1000°C for 4 hour and at 950°C for 2, 4 and 6 hours. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) images indicate that boron diffuses into the samples and a sawtooth-like cross-sectional morphology is formed. The presence of boron has also been proven by Energy Dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDX). In addition, it was determined that boron layer thickness increased with increasing boriding temperature. When the microhardness values were examined, it was observed that the sample borided at the highest temperature had the highest hardness value and the hardness values decrease with the decreasing of boriding temperature. Similar results were also obtained regarding the boriding time. The highest microhardness and layer thickness values were obtained after 6 hours of boriding. Additionally, it was observed that the hardness values of borided samples decreased as they moved from the surface to the inner parts.

Editorial Ezequiel
Authors: Santos Utrini Heitor Carlos
Published: June 2024

Descrever o momento histórico no qual se desenrola a profecia de Ezequiel é como mergulhar em um mar agitado. No final do séc. VII a.C. e na primeira metade do séc. VI a.C., Babilônia devastava as nações vizinhas e as submetia ao seu pesado jugo. A partir de 605 a.C. Judá estava debaixo da pesada mão de Nabucodonosor. Contudo, depois que a Babilônia foi forçada a recuar em sua investida contra o Egito em 601 a.C., o rei Joaquim se rebelou, deixando de pagar o devido tributo. Essa insubordinação custará caro aos israelitas.
Alyne da Silva Pimentel Teixeira x Brasil: um estudo de caso
Authors: Almeida Marina Nogueira de
Published: June 2024

Este artigo apresenta um estudo do caso Alyne da Silva Pimentel Teixeira x Brasil, julgado pelo Comitê CEDAW. Trata-se do primeiro caso de morte materna evitável no Sistema Internacional de Direitos Humanos, em que houve responsabilização do Estado brasileiro. O objetivo é analisar os fundamentos que embasaram o caso e, principalmente, o cumprimento das recomendações formuladas. Partindo de um referencial teórico feminista interseccional, com a metodologia de estudo de caso, observando os entrelaçamentos de gênero, raça e classe, são utilizados como fontes o processo judicial interno e a decisão internacional, bem como a produção acadêmica sobre o tema e as informações noticiadas, para verificar de que forma o Brasil atendeu ou deixou de atender aos pontos levantados pelo Comitê CEDAW. Conclui-se que, apesar do avanço que o caso Alyne representou, as mudanças práticas não acompanharam o simbolismo da condenação, de modo que a vida das mulheres grávidas ainda está sob risco de violação de direitos humanos no Brasil.
A prisão domiciliar de mulheres durante a execução da pena: as Olgas do sistema penitenciário brasileiro
Authors: Travassos Gabriel Saad
Published: June 2024

O Brasil é um dos países que mais aprisiona mulheres no mundo. No rastro dessa indelével marca está a desestruturação de núcleos familiares, a ausência de proteção integral às crianças e adolescentes, o descumprimento das funções declaradas da execução penal e a violação de paradigmas internacionais de proteção dos direitos humanos. O problema de pesquisa reside na interpretação literal da Lei de Execução Penal que veda a concessão da prisão domiciliar a mulheres sob o argumento da taxatividade. Nossa hipótese de pesquisa é que, sem embargo de alguns precedentes favoráveis, ainda remanesce em nosso ordenamento jurídico um modelo hermenêutico conservador que tem provocado danos irreversíveis às mulheres aprisionadas e às suas famílias. A pesquisa é quali-quantitativa e assume como técnicas de pesquisa a revisão bibliográfica, o estudo de caso, o levantamento de dados e a pesquisa documental. Aponta para a inconstitucionalidade e a inconvencionalidade da restrição da prisão domiciliar na Lei de Execução Penal.
Victorian Omniscience and Liberal Politics in Anthony Trollope’s The Warden
Authors: Khan Hanna
Published: June 2024

Written and published alongside the proliferation of the period’s vaunted but contradictory ideology of mid-century liberalism, this article examines the overlooked aesthetic function of the Trollopean narrator. The narrator’s embodied and character-driven investment in Anthony Trollope’s The Warden (1855) stands in contrast to the abstracted and impersonal attitudes of the realist novel and to the conflicting principles defined by mid-century liberalism, while commenting on the advent of the daily paper’s commercialism. The narrator’s provincial status enables a socially- informed take on the quaint township of Barchester, with its new reformist politics subsuming the life of the eponymous warden. Moreover, the novel’s satirical register—evident in the narrator’s characterizations of the mid-Victorian press; his review of media giant The Jupiter’s reportage of Barchester; and finally, his spoofing of popular literary culture, most notably the literary reinterpretations of contemporaries Charles Dickens and Thomas Carlyle—evince that Trollope’s solutions to mid-Victorian social and political issues lie less in reformist politics than they do in questions of aesthetics.
Liminal Identities: The London Reader’s Mrs. Larkall’s Boarding School (1864) and the Silhouette of Sensation
Authors: Butler-Way Emma
Published: June 2024

In the first half of 1864, The London Reader serialised a sensational story attributed only to “the author of Man and his Idol,” which takes the reader on a whirlwind journey from the south coast of England, through continental Europe, and back again as a character is pursued by a “nameless terror.” That character is Gertrude Norman, and the story is Mrs Larkall’s Boarding School. The aim of this article is twofold: firstly, to begin a process of literary excavation, and offer an introduction to the story and some of the key plot points; secondly, to offer an analysis of the character of Gertrude Norman. This exploration will consider the role of girls’ education in constructing a Victorian woman, and ask how the genealogy between Gertrude and earlier sensation heroines such as M.E. Braddon’s Aurora Floyd, and Wilkie Collins’s Marian Halcombe and Magdalen Vanstone, and later figures such as Rhoda Broughton’s Kate Chester, and Florence Marryat’s Helene Treherne and Elfrida Salisbury works alongside that education to create a character who exists in a state of flux, a liminal being within her own narrative, and within the wider environment of sensation fiction of the 1860s.
Postcolonial (Neo-)Victorianism and the (Digital) Archive: A Response to Adrian S. Wisnicki’s “The Meaning of Undisciplining the Victorian Classroom”
Authors: van Dam Daný
Published: June 2024

In November 2023, Adrian S. Wisnicki was at the Université de Pau et des Pays de l’Adour for a visiting professorship. Here, he gave a talk that built on his earlier keynote for the Victorian Popular Fiction Association annual conference (summer of 2023). I was invited to attend and serve as a respondent to the talk at Pau, which led to this written response being published in Victorian Popular Fictions together with Wisnicki’s keynote. This response thus serves as an example of the values of support and recognition that are part of the guiding principles of the Undisciplining the Victorian Classroom (UVC) Digital Humanities project. While this article is called a response, in fact, the talk I respond to has served as a prompt to reflect on the topics discussed, including a strong focus on ethics both in research and in academia more generally, and how they relate to my own position as an academic and to my research on postcolonial neo-Victorianism. This article can be divided in three main sections. I start by explicitly responding to Wisnicki’s keynote, noting what drew my attention and contextualising why it did. Next, I expand on these issues and raise some points for further thought, relating to archives and the traces of marginalised voices that they hold, the importance of preserving diverse languages in order to access those voices, and the relationship between research and teaching in academia. I end by drawing connections between some of the key points raised in relation to UVC and the field of neo-Victorianism, especially postcolonial neo-Victorianism.
LEX DE IMPERIO VESPASIANI: İMPARATORLUK MAKAMININ RESMİLEŞMESİ
Authors: Koyuncu Cemıl
Published: June 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Roma imparatoru Vespasianus’un anayasal güçlerini (imperium) ve otoritesini resmi olarak düzenleyen Lex de imperio Vespasiani, yasasını incelemektir. Lex de imperio Vespasiani’nin önemi, ilk kez bir yasada Roma imparatorunun yetkilerinin ve ayrıcalıklarının kapsamlı olarak ve doğrudan ifade edilmesidir. Böylece, Lex de imperio Vespasiani’de imparator anayasal bir kurum olarak tanınmış ve bu yasa principatusluk rejiminin başlangıcı olarak gösterilmiştir. İlk kez bu yasada eski imparatorlar emsal (exempla) gösterilerek Vespasianus doğru bir yönetim uygulaması noktasında cesaretlendirilmiştir. Çünkü bu yöntemde sıralama, kronolojik olarak takip edilmemiş, Augustus, Tiberius ve Claudius iyi emsaller olarak gösterilirken, Gaius, Nero gibi kötü olarak değerlendirilen imparatorlar ise dışarıda bırakılmıştır. Bu makalede, emsal uygulamasının nedenleri ve amaçları üzerinde durulurken, bununla Roma Senatus’unun imparatorluğu kurumsal bir kimliğe kavuşturmayı amaçlayıp amaçlamadığı ve Vespasianus’un da bunun için bir talebinin olup olmadığı tartışılmıştır. Bu yasada, Vespasianus, iç savaş sonrasında imparatorluğa yükselen yeni bir aile üyesi olarak, Iulius-Claudius ailesinden gelen önceki imparatorlara verilen siyasal hakları kendisi için de talep etmiştir. Senatus’un da imparatorun bu haklarını resmileştirerek, onun konumunu daha fazla güçlendirmiş olduğu görünse de imparatoru öngörülebilir bir yönetim sergilemesi için daha önce imparatorluğu başarılı olarak değerlendirilen emsalleri çerçevesinde tutmak istemiştir. Ancak her durumda imparatorluk rejimi, Romalılar tarafından resmi olarak kabul edilmiş ve imparatorluk kurumu Roma’nın anayasal sistemine girmiştir. Ayrıca bu çalışmanın daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için metnin Latince orijinalinden Türkçeye çevirisi eklendi.

Bu şölenler önemli sosyal etkinlikler olmalarının yanı sıra Roma toplumunda birçok amaca hizmet etmekteydi. Roma’da hem düzyazı hem de şiirden Conviviuma ilişkin pek çok bilgi edinmekteyiz. Yazarların verdiği bilgilere dayanarak, çalışmada ilkin Conviviumun ne amaçla düzenlendiği ortaya konmuş, ardından düzenlendiği ortam, nasıl düzenlendiği, Convivium için yapılan hazırlıklar, Convivium sırasında gerçekleştirilen etkinlikler ve Conviviumun nasıl sonlandığına ilişkin bilgiler değerlendirilmiş, belirli bir düzen içerisinde anlatılmıştır.
Children’s rights with disabilities and alternative care between universal and regional (Council of Europe) standards of protection
Authors: Wedel Domaradzka Agnieszka
Published: June 2024

The study deals with issues relating to alternative institutional care to which children, particularly children with disabilities, are subjected. In the case of these children, there is often a multiple 'sensitisation' situation - not only are they minors, but they are deprived of parental care and have intellectual or physical disabilities. The legal regulations for children in such situations will be presented. Soft-law guidelines representing demands for adoption and implementation at the national level will also be identified and discussed. A separate analysis will be made of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights on children in institutional care and how and to what extent this jurisprudence effectively influences the level of protection. In this aspect, particular attention will be paid to the issue of the vindication of violations of law violations by victims and the possible possibilities of making legal standing more flexible.
Training of professionals on child rights
Authors: Herczog Mária
Published: June 2024

It is universally recognized that children have rights that are inalienable and indivisible. All children are entitled to be aware of and excercise their rights The exposure, experience and education that children receive in their formative years determines their development and well-being. The United Nations Convention on Rights of the Child (UNCRC) set the guiding principles and its implementation, including awareness raising, education about child rights for all, including children themselves, parents, professionals and the public. The ultimate aim of the education, training on child rights for professionals is to sensitize, inform them and ensure that they are working with children in line with the principles and requirements of the UNCRC and other relevant child rights related treaties and documents. There has been so far limited efforts made to train all professionals in contact with children to learn about child rights and skills on how to implement them, involving children, raising awareness of their rights and support the use of them in their everyday life.  Children play a central role in shaping the present and future, with adults offering the support required, for children’s well-being and to reach their full potential, so that in collaboration, children and adults can strengthen and transform our world. To achieve this vision, children, parents, professional and the public needs to be aware of child rights and implement them properly. The article provides an overview of the current situation worldwide and describes a number of programs, trainings provided as promising practices.
The right of children to adoption in light of the European Convention on Human Rights
Authors: Katonáné Pehr Erika
Published: June 2024

Each country applies its own national rules on the authorization and possible termination of adoption. Nevertheless, the practice of adoption is based on commonly agreed-upon principles and values, including the best interests of the child, which also affect the final fate of the child. The primary aim of adoption worldwide is to establish kinship between the adopter, his or her relatives, and the adopted child to ensure that the child is brought up in a family. Adoption remains the most appropriate legal instrument to replace birth families. International adoption is a secondary option that can occur when domestic adoption measures fail, with the exception of adoption by relatives and spouses. The protection of human rights is an important area in the wide range of activities of the Council of Europe, which was founded in 1949. The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), adopted in Rome in 1950, is an international norm that can be directly invoked and applied in the legal systems of states, including Hungary. The ECHR is a framework convention and therefore the substance of each right is expounded in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The case law of the ECHR is rich and authoritative in the field of fundamental rights protection and has ruled on several socially important issues, including adoption in the area of family law. The intention to adopt can be interpreted as the creation of a family because a family can be created through adoption, but the ECHR does not provide a substantive right to adoption.

Analysis on Aperture Size for Electromagnetic Scattering by Circular Strips with Impedance Boundary Conditions
Authors: Karacuha Kamil , Tabatadze Vasil
Published: June 2024

This study investigates how altering the aperture size and impedance characteristics of a circular strip, when excited by a cylindrical wave, influences electromagnetic scattering. The focus is on understanding the impact of shifting the position of an H-polarized line source and adjusting parameters such as strip aperture, wave number, and impedance values on the overall behavior of the electromagnetic field. Our findings reveal that changes in the strip's aperture dimensions or wave number, even when regarding the latter's relation to the source, lead to significant alterations in the surrounding electromagnetic field. This scrutiny unveils a detailed interplay between these factors within this electromagnetic scenario. By examining these intricacies, our study sheds light on the substantial impact of subtle modifications in the strip's dimensions, combined with adjustments in wave and source characteristics, on the electromagnetic field. This understanding holds promise for advancements in diverse engineering applications.

Published: June 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı Ak Parti’nin “muhafazakâr demokrat” kimliğinin oluşumuna etki eden muhafazakârlık anlayışını kimlik ve söylem analizi çerçevesinde incelemektir. Bu çerçevede çalışmada ilk öncelikle ana hatlarıyla muhafazakârlığın kuramsal analizi ortaya konulmuştur. Ardından Ak Parti’nin kuruluş sürecini hazırlayan siyasi gelişmeler irdelenmiştir. Ak Parti’nin tüzük ve programından yola çıkarak, “muhafazakâr demokrat” kimliğini benimsediği görülmüştür. Böylelikle Ak Parti geleneksel ile modern, yerel ile evrensel değerler arasında köprü kuran bir siyasi çizgiyi takip etmiş, herkesin talebine uygun çok kimlikli bir siyaset sahası oluşturmaya çalışmıştır. Süreç içerisinde ise iktidarı döneminde yaşanılan gelişmelere bağlı olarak Ak Parti, “muhafazakâr demokrat” kimliğinde birtakım değişimlere gitmiş, bu gelişmeler konjonktürel olarak Ak Parti’yi politika ve icraatlarında “muhafazakâr devrimci” ve “milliyetçi muhafazakâr” söylemlerde bulunmaya sevk etmiştir.

Two new salts (1 and 2) obtained between 2-methoxy-5-sulfamoylbenzoic acid (Hsba) and 2-amino-X-picoline {X = 5 (2a5mp) and 6 (2a6mp)} and their Cu(II) complexes (3 and 4) have been obtained. The structures of the salts (1 and 2) were suggested by elemental analysis, NMR, FT-IR and UV-Vis, while the structures of Cu(II) complexes (3 and 4) were suggested by elemental analysis, AAS, UV-Vis and magnetic susceptibility techniques. While the acid:base ratio was 1:1 for 1 and 2 salts, the metal:acid:base ratio was 1:2:2 for 3 and 4. According to the results of spectroscopic analysis, the structures of 3 and 4 compounds were proposed as octahedral. Additionally, anti-microbial activities of free ligands, salts and complexes were studied against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), Staphylococcus aureus (NRRL B-767), Bacillus subtilis, Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212), Escherichia coli (ATCC25922) and Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 7644) bacteria and Candida albicans (F89) yeast. The results were comparisoned with the antibiotics (Fluconazole, Vancomycin, Cefepime and Levofloxacin). All compounds showed activity against bacteria and yeasts. Compounds Cu(OAc)2.2H2O, 2 and 4 (31.25 µg/mL) for C. Albicans, Hsba and 3 (31.25 µg/mL) for L. monocytogens, 2a5mp (7.80 µg/mL) for B. subtilis, all compounds (except Hsba and 2) (62.50 µg/mL) for E. Coli, Hsba (31.25 µg/mL) for S. aureus, 1 (31.25 µg/mL) for E. Faecalis and Hsba and 3 (15.60 µg/mL) for P. aeruginoa have the best activity.

Over dependence on the sole use of river sand as fine aggregate in producing concrete over the years, has raised serious environmental concerns. Incessant mining of river sand accelerates the deterioration of the river bed, causes floods, and affects the diversity of aquatic life negatively. In this study, the possibility of using quarry dust to partially replace river sand in producing concrete was investigated. Central Composite Design (CCD) in Minitab was used to generate 31 mixes with different combinations of water to cement (W/C), Quarry dust to Sand (Q/S), Sand to Total Aggregate (S/TA) and Total Aggregate to Cement (TA/C) ratios. The fresh concrete was tested for workability using slump test. Three (3) concrete cubes were cast per sample point and tested for compressive strength at 28 days of curing. A regression model was developed and analyzed using response surface methodology (RSM) at 95% confidence level. Results obtained showed that compressive strength up to 27.44N/mm2 can be achieved with combination of W/C of 0.36, Q/S of 0.3, S/TA of 0.4 and TA/C of 3. Model developed has overall P value of 0, R2 value of 75.69% and Adjusted R2 value of 66.85% and validated to be well fitted. It was concluded among others, that quarry dust can be used as a constituent material in structural concrete, optimum percentage replacement of sand with quarry dust is 30% and that the developed model is valid, adequate and well fitted.

Limited studies are available about trans-cis romantic relationships in the Philippines, making it difficult to understand their dynamics. Therefore, this study explores the experiences of transfeminine young adults in building romantic relationships with cisgender men to understand their subjective experiences and provide support for these individuals. This qualitative phenomenological study involved conducting semi-structured interviews with 8 transfeminine young adults aged 18 to 25 years old who are involved in romantic relationships with cisgender men in the City of Cabuyao, Laguna. The participants were selected using both purposive and snowball sampling techniques. Thematic analysis was conducted to analyze and interpret the qualitative gathered data to look at the patterns of meaning of the participants’ lived experiences. The findings revealed a diverse range of information about their lived experiences. Despite facing various obstacles and negative societal attitudes, the participants demonstrated remarkable resilience, independence, and empowerment. These individuals navigated their relationships with confidence and autonomy, defying stereotypes, societal resistance, and differing viewpoints, thereby challenging preconceived notions and societal expectations. Themes related to relationship challenges, the influence of social media, diverse experiences, social resistance, and self-determination emerged. The study highlighted the importance of societal acceptance, awareness, and efforts to break down stereotypes.
Metaphor analysis of audio description in English language teaching

Published: June 2024

This study investigates the use of audio description (AD) and metaphors in enhancing foreign language learning. Data collection involved a convenience sample of 25 students who provided metaphorical descriptions of their AD experiences through a single-item questionnaire. The data analysis employed content analysis to categorize and interpret these metaphors. The findings underscore metaphors' cognitive and emotional benefits in making abstract concepts tangible, thereby enhancing the language learning process. The examination of the metaphors elucidates how students harness metaphorical constructs to explicate various facets of change within their English language learning trajectory. Encouragingly, affirmative responses are discernible within the metaphors, particularly pertaining to themes such as knowledge production, creativity, value, the transmission of knowledge, wisdom, and animacy. The utilization of metaphor, as delineated within this discourse, fosters an ongoing process of scholarly inquiry and comprehension. Future research should continue exploring these tools to further validate and refine their application in diverse educational settings.

Gout manifests as acute arthritis attacks, the frequency of which varies and is unpredictable.

The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with the frequency of arthritis attacks in patients with gout who have not received urate-lowering therapy (ULT).

Materials and methods. A retrospective cohort study included 116 patients (6 females, 110 males) with gout, with a mean age of 50.1±12.05 years, who were not receiving ULT. The frequency of arthritis attacks in the past year and the presence of subcutaneous tophi were evaluated. Analyzed factors included alcohol consumption, smoking, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure values, comorbidities, diuretic use, and laboratory tests, including serum levels of glucose, creatinine, creatine phosphokinase (CPK), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), uric acid (UA), C-reactive protein (CRP), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).

Results. The mean disease duration was 9.2 [3.9; 15.8] years. The average number of arthritis attacks per year was 5 [2; 6], with ≥4 arthritis attacks per year observed in 40% of patients, and subcutaneous tophi present in 33.6%. A weak positive correlation was found between the frequency of exacerbations and systolic blood pressure (p<0.001), serum GGT levels (p<0.001), CPK levels (p=0.120), and serum CRP levels (p=0.040). Serum UA levels correlated only with the presence of subcutaneous tophi (p=0.017), but not with the frequency of arthritis attacks (p=0.972). OR >4 attacks of arthritis was significant for: presence of heredity for gout – 1.955 (95% CI: 1.224–3.121; p<0.05); presence of tophi – 1.746 (95% CI: 1.161–2.626; p=0.007); alcohol consumption – 2.656 (95% CI: 1.766–3.994; p<0.001); in the presence of a sUA level ≥540 µmol/l – 1.586 (95% CI: 1.041–2.416; p=0.031). Diuretics users had attacks more frequently (р<0,001).

Conclusion. The frequency of arthritis attacks in untreated gout patients may be associated with the presence of subcutaneous tophi, systolic blood pressure values, serum GGT, uric acid levels (when >540 µmol/L), diuretic use, and alcohol consumption.

Aim – to study the clinical manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and the spectrum of concomitant diseases, depending on the level of hepcidin in patients with high inflammatory activity.

Material and methods. The analysis included 78 patients (48.9±15.5 years) with RA, disease duration of 108 [48; 204] months. All patients were diagnosed with high or medium inflammatory activity of the disease (DAS28-ESR (Disease Activity Score 28 with erythrocyte sedimentation rate detection – 5.2). Indicators of iron metabolism, levels of hepcidin and interleukin 6 were determined. Three subgroups of patients were identified: subgroup I – with serum hepcidin levels below the reference values (less than 40 pg/ml); subgroup II – with hepcidin levels within the reference values (40–120 pg/ml); subgroup III – patients with high hepcidin levels (more than 120 pg/ml).

Results. It was found that in RA with high inflammatory activity, regardless of the hemoglobin level, disorders in iron metabolism were noted in 83% of cases. Reduced serum hepcidin levels were diagnosed in 40% of cases (subgroup I), on average, very high hepcidin values were detected in every second (n=34; subgroup III). The main clinical manifestations of RA, DAS28 activity and duration of the disease were comparable in all three subgroups. The largest number of concomitant diseases were diagnosed in RA patients with high levels of hepcidin. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (26%), endocrine pathology – 22% (diabetes mellitus, thyroid diseases, obesity), chronic kidney disease (21%) and cardiovascular disease (60%) were significantly more common (p<0.05). With iron deficiency, the most common pathology was gastrointestinal tract damage – 35% (erosive gastritis, peptic ulcer of the stomach and duodenum, etc.), the second most common was pathology of the cardiovascular system (32%). In the same subgroup, one in ten had a change of two classes of bDMARDs/tsDMARDs by the time of the study.

Conclusion. The results of this study illustrate the need for further study of the pathogenetic pathways of iron metabolism disorders in order to form scientifically sound approaches to personalized treatment of a wide range of immunoinflammatory rheumatic diseases, including RA.
