Authors: Zaidan Sara Muhannad , Rafeeq Reem Atta
Published: December 2022

Introduction:

Aim of this study is to compare shear bond strength of different luting materials used in fixed space maintainer cementation.

Methods:

Thirty intact extracted human third molars randomly divided into three equal groups: group A: RelyX luting 2 (resin modified glass ionomer); group B: TOTALCEM (self-adhesive resin cement/ dual cure); group C: Transbond plus (compomer). After bonding procedures, the samples were kept in distilled water at 37°C for 24 hours prior to the shear bond strength test. Data were analyzed blindly by one-way ANOVA test and the Tukey post hoc test using R software.

Results:

There were statistically significant differences between the three luting materials (P  <  0.001).

Conclusion:

TOTALCEM showed significantly higher shear bond strength than RelyX luting 2 and Transbond plus. With respect to limitations of in vitro studies, long-term clinical studies required.

Authors: Hakamifard Atousa , Aria Amir , Momenzadeh Mahnaz
Published: December 2022

This case report aims to introduce a patient with severe hypokalemia as one of the rare complications of ondansetron injection. The stroke patient was 56 years old and hospitalized in the emergency department with and purulent sputum. The symptoms and lung computed tomography scan confirmed the diagnosis of aspiration pneumonia. A nasogastric tube was inserted, and food gavage was performed for the patient. The treatment was started with meropenem to manage aspiration pneumonia. The patient could not tolerate the gavage. Consequently, ondansetron was prescribed, but severe hypokalemia of 2.5 mEq/l was developed. The causes of hypokalemia were evaluated. The hematological, biochemical, and liver function tests were done, and the potassium level was measured daily. Afterward, causes of hypokalemia was ruled out and with discontinuation of ondansetron the hypokalemia was resolved. Hypokalemia may be caused by ondansetron. It is required that potassium monitoring be always considered during administrating of this medicine.

Authors: Kumar K. Sarath , Saranya S. , Rani Nagasubramanian Vanitha
Published: December 2022

Objective:

This study aimed to assess the community pharmacists' knowledge of antibiotics, their attitude toward antibiotic usage and antibiotic resistance, and their nonprescription dispensing practices of antibiotics.

Methods:

A cross sectional-questionnaire-based study was conducted among 75 community pharmacists practicing in a selected city of South India. Data on their age, years of experience, and educational qualifications were obtained. A modified, 33-items, prevalidated structured questionnaire was used to assess the community pharmacists knowledge, attitude, and nonprescription antibiotic dispensing practices knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP). The responses obtained were expressed in descriptive statistics. The association between years of experience and their KAP was assessed using Pearson's correlation.

Findings:

Most pharmacists (60%) agreed that antibiotics are used for bacterial infections, and 35% believed that antibiotics could be given for pain and inflammation. Fourty-one percentage of pharmacists agreed that dispensing antibiotics without prescription increases the risk of antibiotic resistance. Seventy-two percentage agreed that they are responsible for taking a prominent role in antimicrobial resistance and infection-control programs in healthcare. Only 46% of pharmacists stated that they always dispensed antibiotics only with a prescription, and 56% dispensed antibiotics for longer than the doctor prescribed. Amoxicillin, metronidazole, and cephalexin were the most commonly dispensed antibiotics without a prescription. The most common reason for dispensing antibiotics without a prescription was the fear of losing customers.

Conclusion:

The study identified an average KAP interquartile range 1 among community pharmacists, indicating a lack of awareness of antibiotic resistance and dispensing antibiotics without a prescription.
Structural behaviour and bending analysis of rectangular thick plate using a new 3-D modified trigonometric displacement model
Authors: Onyeka F. C. , Nwa-David C. D. , Okeke T. E.
Published: December 2022

In this work, a new 3-D modified trigonometric displacement model was used to study the structural behavior and bending analysis of rectangular thick plate which was clamped in one edge and other three edges simply supported. The theoretical model whose formulation is based on static elastic principle as already reported in the literature are presented herein, obviating the shear correction coefficients while considering shear deformation effect and transverse normal strain/stress in the analysis. The equilibrium equations are obtained using 3-D kinematic and constitutive relations. An exact solution of deflection and rotation are obtained from the equilibrium equation using the general variational principle. The minimization, energy equation yields the general equation which was used to obtain the 3-D trigonometric displacement model of the plate. The percentage difference between the present work and those of 2-D Refined Plate Theory (RPT) with an assumed displacement and 2-D Refined plate theory (RPT) with derived function is 1.43% and 5.15% respectively. More so, percentage difference between the present work and those using polynomial shape function is 3.29%. The result showed that the 3-D trigonometric model for the present work predicts the vertical displacement and the stresses more accurately than RPT and polynomial displacement model. It is concluded that the 3-D trigonometric model gives an exact solution unlike polynomial and can be used with confidence in the analysis of thick plate under the particular initial condition.
Wideband and dual-band antennas with band-notched using electromagnetic band-gap structure
Authors: Nasidi I. , Bello H.
Published: December 2022

This paper presents a single-element microstrip spade-shaped patch antennas with a partial ground plane, integrated with an electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structure, and fed with a microstrip feedline to achieve wideband, dual-band and band-notched characteristic. Two similar mushroom-like EBG structures built into the wideband antenna were used to suppress a specific band, resulting in dual-band. The wide-band antenna achieved a broad bandwidth of 9GHz from 5-14GHz, with a maximum gain of 6.8dBi. Based on the simulation and measured results, the wide-band antenna offers 89% fractional bandwidth for a voltage standing wave ratio less than 2 (VSWR < 2). The EBG provides a band-notch with a bandwidth 3GHz from 8-11GHz, leaving dual-band with bandwidths of 2GHz and 1.5GHz centred at 7GHz and 11GHz, respectively. Surface current distribution and parametric studies were conducted to better understand the behaviour and influence of the EBG parameters. The simulation results were validated through experimental measurement, and both agreed well. The antennas could be used for 5G wireless communication and filtering.
Sustainable Development Goal 14 in the Western Indian Ocean: a socio-ecological approach to understanding progress
Authors: Andriamahefazafy Mialy , Touron-Gardic Grégoire , March Antaya , Failler Pierre , Hosch Gilles , Palomares Deng
Published: December 2022

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) intend to “achieve a better and more sustainable future for all people in the world”1. They have become a key driver for policy and decision-making in many regions, including in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region. This paper analyses national and regional progress towards achieving SDG 14 in the WIO. Progress of four of the SDG 14 targets that were due in 2020 are analysed. SDG 14 has influenced regional and national policy agendas but current tools to measure this progress fail to provide a detailed picture of achievement towards each target for countries in the WIO. The paper highlights that the region has shown limited success in achieving the targets and SDG 14 targets are unlikely to be reached by 2030. The WIO region lags behind with regard to marine conservation related targets. More than half of the countries have low to average progress on SDG 14.2 on marine areas being covered by area-based management tools. Even more countries are far from achieving the 10 % coverage of marine protected areas under SDG 14.5. The region is performing better with regards to fisheries management targets with most countries classified as making average to good progress towards SDG 14.4 on sustainable stocks and SDG 14.6 on addressing harmful subsidies and IUU fishing. The diversity of the socio-economic and governance contexts in the WIO countries contributes to different levels of progress. The fairly positive ecological state of the WIO supports progress towards SDG 14. Understanding barriers to progress is fundamental to help with the prioritisation of the actions needed to meet the SDG 14 targets by 2030. Regional actors and policy-makers will need to increase their ambitions to meet the SDG 14 targets and ensure a healthy ocean and improved prospects for the region and its citizens. To account for barriers in progress towards SDG 14, the WIO region needs appropriate reporting and monitoring mechanisms and it should follow a holistic regional approach of ocean governance integrating conservation and sustainable resource use. It needs to build capacity and knowledge sharing for implementation of SDG 14 and ocean governance at various levels. Improved implementation of SDG targets will have social, economic and environmental benefits within the region.
Ocean Governance: A tertiary educational perspective in the Mauritian context
Authors: Uppiah Valerie , Appadoo Chandani
Published: December 2022

Ocean governance provides for the norms and tools needed to ensure the sustainable use and management of marine resources. In order to implement effective ocean governance and tools, there is a need to train all stakeholders involved in the management and sustainable use of ocean resources. This is where education, particularly tertiary education, has an important role to play. The objective of this paper is to examine the contribution of tertiary education in promoting good ocean governance. The paper assesses the role and current involvement of a tertiary education institution, the University of Mauritius, in enhancing ocean governance in Mauritius. The findings will demonstrate that, although ocean governance modules are incorporated in some undergraduate and postgraduate programmes offered at University level, a more interdisciplinary approach and further collaboration is needed to promote training in this field.
Every account counts for sustainable development: lessons from the African CoP to implement ocean accounts in the Western Indian Ocean region
Authors: G. Loureiro Tainã , Gacutan Jordan , Milligan Ben M. , Praphotjanaporn Teerapong , Findlay Ken
Published: December 2022

The Western Indian Ocean (WIO) is critical in supporting the social and economic development of the nations it borders. To safeguard the various opportunities it provides, it is essential to adopt sustainable ocean development models that balance ocean wealth and ocean health. Such models depend on evidence-based and adaptative ocean governance underpinned by holistic social, environmental and economic indicators. The ocean accounts framework provides a standard accounting structure to integrate social, economic and environmental information in alignment with relevant international statistical standards such as the System of National Accounts and the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting. Applying such a framework produces integrated indicators against which changes can be assessed and measured. These indicators also inform decision-making and support the prioritisation of areas requiring further attention by highlighting data deficiencies, ocean governance gaps and under-explored research areas. The framework encompasses and links several systems of accounting that can be used based on specific priorities. However, three initiation points have been identified that can be further expanded and concatenated into other accounts encompassed by the framework. This publication provides practical guidelines to start implementing national, regional or local ocean accounts, following the Global Ocean Accounts Partnership Technical Guidance on Ocean Accounting. It is further complemented by amendments proposed by the African Community of Practice based on lessons learned during the implementation of ocean accounts pilots across the WIO region. Compiling ocean accounts is an adaptative and iterative process and should be constantly ameliorated and adjusted to local contexts and priorities. However, efforts should be made to maintain coherence with the framework and international standards.

Diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography in patients with extrahepatic cholestasis: a retrospective cohort study
Authors: YÜKSEL Beyza , OKÇU Nihat
Published: December 2022

Background/Aims: Differential diagnosis of extrahepatic cholestasis can be challenging due to variable sensitivity and specificity rates of imaging techniques. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography (MRCP) is a non-invasive method used for evaluation of biliary tree. We aimed to investigate diagnostic accuracy of MRCP in biliary obstruction.

Materials and Methods: Medical records of patients admitted with extrahepatic cholestasis between January 2012 and December 2016 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients who had endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) following MRCP were included. Demographic and clinical characteristics of patients were noted. Final diagnosis of ERCP was accepted as gold standard. Diagnostic efficiency of MRCP was evaluated by calculating sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative and positive predictive values as compared with ERCP.

Results: There were 615 patients with a mean age of 60.1±17.5 years. Using MRCP, choledocholithiasis, malignant and benign strictures were diagnosed in 337 (54.8%), 101 (16.4%), and 39 patients (6.3%), respectively. Normal MRCP findings were present in 65 patients (10.6%). Final diagnoses via ERCP were as follows: choledocholithiasis (n=390, 63.4%), malignant stricture (n=152, 24.7%), benign stricture (n=62, 10.1%), and normal findings (n=11, 1.8%). Sensitivity and specificity of MRCP were 70.8% and 72.9% for choledocholithiasis, 55.9% and 96.5% for malign stricture, and 16.1% and 94.8% for benign stricture, respectively. Overall accuracy rates were 71.5%, 86.5%, and 86.8% for choledocholithiasis, malign and benign strictures, respectively.

Conclusion: Diagnostic accuracy of MRCP is variable for different biliary/cholestatic etiologies. Due to a lower sensitivity for choledocholithiasis, normal MRCP findings should be handled with caution, especially when there is a clinical suspicion for biliary obstruction.

Keywords: extrahepatic cholestasis, magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography, endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography, sensitivity, specificity.

Authors: Zhang J. , Xia L. , Han R. , Wei W.
Published: December 2022

As a kind of new material, nanomagnetic Fe3O4 (NMF) has many advantages in water and wastewater treatment. In this paper, the adsorption characteristic for arsenic(III) (As) by NMF was studied, and the adsorption was compared with the traditional adsorbent of activated carbon (AC) and modified activated carbon (MAC). The results showed that the NMF had high adsorption performance for As, and the adsorption performance of modified activated carbon and activated carbon were far lower than that of magnetic nanomagnetic Fe3O4. The adsorption capacity for As with NMF, MAC, and AC was 0.189 mg.g-1, 0.023 mg.g-1 and 0.013 mg.g-1 in 0.25 mg.L-1 As solution, respectively. The adsorption rate for As was different from the three adsorbents. For NMF, it needs only 10 minutes to reach an adsorption balance, while the time to balance was 20 minutes for MAC and more than 120 minutes for AC. The adsorption for As by the three adsorbents all conform to Langmuir adsorption isotherm, and the adsorption kinetics for As by the three adsorbents were in accordance with the pseudo-second-order kinetics model. The adsorption efficiency of MAC and AC was lower than nanomagnetic Fe3O4. The nanomagnetic Fe3O4 was an effective adsorbent for arsenic.

Published: December 2022

In the field of Network-on-Chip, simulation is one of the primary techniques used to examine and evaluate novel ideas. It is necessary to have simulation tools available that are frequently restricted to modelling particular network configurations in order to evaluate the performance and power figures of NoC and WiNoC systems. This article introduces Noxim, a SystemC-developed open, extendible, customizable, cycle-accurate NoC simulator that enables the analysis of the performance and power statistics of both established wired NoC and new WiNoC designs. The Noxim simulator stands out
among the many simulators that can be discovered in the literature. A lot of scholars use it since it supports wifi and is open-source. Hybrid wired-wireless networks aim to combine the finest aspects of the two strategies. In this study, investigation on various optimal configurations are carried out considering various test scenarios. Different parameters like Throughput, delivered packets, delay, and battery consumption and Packet Injection Rate are considered for optimisation. The findings demonstrate that the test cases utilised only require a small number of wireless routers, enhancing the metrics desired.

Published: December 2022

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are devices that can be operated without human presence inside them. In the era of developing technologies, the need for humans to monitor their surroundings much more feasibly proposes an important need. In that way,this paper proposes to develop a hybrid helium blimp structure filled with helium gas. The structure can be operated at six degrees of freedom, which adds to its much-improved user experience and various flight methods. To record motion and see the
environment around the blimp, an advanced camera is placed on the bottom of the structure, to record the motion of the surroundings. The external surface is elastic matter, which when it comes incontact with humans or other surroundings doesn’t pose a threat, due to its buoyancy property. The entire model can be transported fromone place to another, by just removing the external portionsof the blimp when traveling. The user on the ground can navigate and control the blimp, with the help of a user interface. The paper showcases the design, working, and real-life results of the structure.

Published: December 2022

News is the only mode and set of information that helps the public to know what's happening everyday globally. We have started our path of reading news digitally, by which many "Fake news" are being circulated. Fake news is false or misleading information presented as news. Fake news often has the aim of damaging the reputation of a person or entity, or making money through advertising revenue.
People unknowingly believe those fake news as original one without any analysis or study. Since the machine cannot read the words we use, we are going to use “ML model” to train our dataset to the machine. Our project is a two-phase benchmark model named WELFake based on word embedding where each and all words are converted into numerical values which is further processed to classify
based on certain matching property using machine learning. The first phase preprocesses the data set and validates the veracity of news content by using linguistic features. The second phase merges the linguistic feature sets with WE(Word Embedding) and applies voting classification. The classification is based on words and meaning matching and this matching percentage should be above a threshold
value we fix. In this paper we are going to discuss about choosing the best algorithm based on our needs and accuracy and complete the task successfully
A Machine Learning Framework to Predict Adverse Drug Reactions from Electronic Health Records
Authors: Edwin Ponraj T  , J. Charles
Published: December 2022

The advent of medical industry is immense in the recent years, with increasing epidemics, pandemics and endemics, thereby ensuring proper treatment to the patients with affordable medications. Right from the chemical compositions, the manufacturing involves a huge procedural overhead along with the clinical trials and pre-marketing studies. Such medications have to clear stringent norms and policies in order to reach the market, during which, the medication should exhibit compliance to lesser
side effects, and increased control over the diseases. Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR) are typically reactions which are unintended and may result in harmful effects over the patients. Multiple models understand the data collected from various sources to monitor the effects of medications in regular intervals, in order to prepare for counter actions. The risk of side effects and adverse drug reactions can be reduced with timely detection of drug to protein interaction and drug to drug interactions. It is a practice of co-prescriptions for addressing multiple medical conditions in elderly people and
patients with multiple ailments. Compared to the previous manual techniques, prediction of adverse drug reactions was carried out using machine learning techniques lately. The proposed technique introduces a novel mechanism using regularized logistic regression technique to effectively trace the drug-to-drug interactions. The datasets are considered from openly available sources, and electronically stored information are fed into regression models for finding relevant patterns. Empirical studies applied with necessary cross validation checks and numerous failproof tests deliver promising outcomes in form of drug-ADR targeted profiles for signifying the results of the supposed study. From the investigative results, it is evident that the proposed technique ensures utmost quality and interesting insights for making appropriate biological and protein-drug based decisions.
PRIVATIZING INDIAN AIRPORTS - A SCRUTINIZED EVALUATION THROUGH VARIED CONTEMPLATIONS
Authors: Flt Lt R Giri  , J. Ashok Babu
Published: December 2022

This paper elucidates the changing ownership of Public owned airports to Privatisation. The analysis is envisioned towards the passengers’ interest in availing air transport which are likely to become more efficient. The improvisation of regional connectivity would yield more people to opt for air transport. A series of efforts were taken before making the questionnaires that were placed in the survey including the psychological aspects when deciding about the choice of airports which are getting privatized. The collected inputs from the passengers vary from seldom travelers to frequent
travelers across the country are analyzed using the linear programming technique such as the DEA[1] which depicts the effective views of the travelers to go for Privatisation. The questionnaire was carefully framed such that all the aspects covering ergonomics level, including the ease of navigation, the reach of supporting staff. The airports would get diversified with their services without the intervention of Government. In India, a total of 137 airports which include 23 International airports (3 Civil Enclaves), 10 Customs Airports (4 Civil Enclaves) having custom and immigration facilities for limited international operations and 104 Domestic airports (23 Civil Enclaves) are administered by the Airport Authority of India (AAI).[10] The USA has 14,549 Private airports (74%) within the total 19,636 airports. Many countries like the USA, Russia, China, U. K, France have a larger number of Privately-owned airports helping their countries in getting economically strengthened. IATA forecasts a growth of 6.8% per annum for India. The usage of No frill airports would reduce the cost of capital investment in making
an airport to start functioning and help the nation to grow in the economy. In addition, Six AAI airports are operated, managed, and developed under Public-Private Partnership (PPP) namely, Guwahati, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Mangalore, Thiruvananthapuram and Lucknow. At Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, and Ahmedabad, Performance Based Navigation (PBN) arrival and departure procedures have been implemented and for Hyderabad airport, it is in progress and Space-based, Final Operational Phase (FOP) of (GAGAN), GPS Aided Geo Augmented Navigation[10] is under implementation which is not airport-based and will be available for use at all of the country's airports.
Enhancing the prediction of outcomes through feature selection, the Data envelopment analysis (DEA) method is used for the analytics questionnaire. This is a function whose form is based on the efficiency of the scrutinized evaluations. It's an approach for measuring the performance efficiency of global public airports through varied contemplations of results of the survey. This technique aims to measure how efficiently a DEA uses the resources available to generate a group of outputs along with feature section models that are then analyzed after that to evaluate the contributing factors for airport operation and privatization.

DEEP TEXTURE FEATURES FOR ROBUST FACE SPOOFING DETECTION
Authors: Bhupelli Prem  , Kalidas
Published: December 2022

Biometrics arose as a vigorous answer for security frameworks. Notwithstanding, given the spread of biometric applications, lawbreakers are creating procedures to evade them by reenacting physical or social characteristics of legitimate clients (caricaturing assaults). In spite of face being a promising trademark because of its comprehensiveness, worthiness and presence of cameras all over the place,
face acknowledgment frameworks are very helpless against such cheats since they can be effectively messed with normal printed facial photos. Cutting edge draws near, in view of Convolutional Brain Organizations (CNNs), present great outcomes in face ridiculing discovery. Nonetheless, these techniques don't consider the significance of advancing profound nearby elements from every facial locale, despite the fact that it is known from face acknowledgment that every facial area presents different visual angles, which can likewise be taken advantage of for face satirizing location. In this
work we propose a clever CNN design prepared in two stages for such undertaking. At first, each piece of the brain network gains highlights from a given facial district. Subsequently, the entire model is adjusted overall facial pictures. Results show that such pre-preparing step permits the CNN to learn different nearby caricaturing signals, working on the exhibition and the assembly speed of the last model, beating the cutting edge draws near.
DETECTION OF NON-HELMET RIDERS AND EXTRACTION OF LICENSE PLATE NUMBER USINGYOLO V2 AND OCR METHOD
Authors: Adimulapu Sunayana  , Md.Asim
Published: December 2022

In current situation, we come across various problems in traffic regulations in India which can be solved with different ideas. Riding motorcycle/mopeds without wearing helmet is a traffic violation which has resulted in increase in number of accidents and deathsin India. Existing system monitors the trafficviolations primarily through CCTVrecordings, where the traffic police have to look into the frame where the traffic violation is happening, zoom into the licenseplate in case rider is not wearing helmet. Butthis requires lot of manpower and time as the traffic violations frequently
and the number of people using motorcycles isincreasing day-by-day. What if there is asystem, which would automatically look for traffic violation of not wearing helmet while riding motorcycle/moped and if so, would automatically extract the vehicles’ license plate number. Recent research have successfully done this work based on CNN, R-CNN, LBP, HoG, HaaR features,etc. But these works are limited with respect to efficiency, accuracy or the speed with which object detection and classification is done. In this research work, a Non-Helmet Rider detection system is built which attempts to satisfy the automation of detecting the traffic violation of not wearing helmet and
extracting the vehicles’ license plate number. The main principle involved is Object Detection using Deep Learning at three levels. The objects detected are person, motorcycle/moped at first level using YOLOv2, helmet at second level using YOLOv3, License plate at the last level using YOLOv2. Then the license plateregistration number is extracted using OCR (Optical Character Recognition). All thesetechniques are subjected to predefined conditions and constraints, especially the license plate number extraction part. Since, this work takes video as its input, the speed of execution is crucial. We have used above said methodologies to build a holistic systemfor both helmet detection and license plate number extraction.

From 1960s onwards sexist language intended to denigrate, objectify and trivialize women has been seriously exposed internationally and huge efforts were made to replace it with gender-neutral language. However, to date, sexism has not been fully suppressed and it is especially conspicuous in relation to women who assume active roles in public life. This study has both qualitative and quantitative design and looks into the presence of overt and implicit sexism (as categorized by Mills, 2008) in journalistic discourse and the role of sexist language in molding the image of modern day women politicians. For the purposes of this study, we conduct a critical discourse analysis of a corpus of 40 news articles published on various online news portals and electronic platforms of traditional media. All analyzed articles comment on the political statements and actions of two Macedonian female politicians currently in office – the Minister of Defense and the Mayor of the city of Skopje. The findings suggest that Macedonian journalistic discourse, under the pretext that politicians’ dealings need to be monitored closely, scrutinized and even criticized, still leaves the door slightly open for both overt and implicit sexist linguistic forms, which, in turn, depicts female politicians as ill-suited for this type of professional occupation.
Արեվելյան Այսրկովկասի մահմեդականների շրջանում առաջացած քաղաքական հոսանքները XX դարի սկզբին

XX դարի սկզբին Արևելյան Այսրկովկասի մահմեդական մտավորականության շրջանում տարբեր գաղափարական հոսանքների և քաղաքական կազմակերպությունների առաջացումն այնպիսի ներքին ու արտաքին գործոնների հետևանք էր, ինչպիսիք էին Ռուսական կայսրության սոցիալ-տնտեսական ճգնաժամը, հեղափոխական շարժումները, պանթյուրքական և պանիսլամական գաղափարների տարածումը, հայ-թաթարական բախումները: Առաջացան երեք հիմնական հոսանքներ՝ սոցիալ-դեմոկրատական, ազատական և ազգայնական:
Սոցիալ-դեմոկրատական ուղղության առաջացումը կապված էր Ռուսաստանի սոցիալ-դեմոկրատական բանվորական կուսակցության (ՌՍԴԲԿ) Բաքվի կոմիտեի և «Հյումմեթ» կուսակցության ստեղծման ու գործունեության հետ: Խորհրդային պատմագրության մեջ ընդունված է «Հյումմեթը» համարել ՌՍԴԲԿ մասնաճյուղ, մինչդեռ ժամանակակից ադրբեջանցի հեղինակներն այն ընդունում են որպես առանձին կուսակցություն: «Հյումմեթը» լայն գործունեություն էր ծավալում գործադուլային շարժմանը այսրկովկասյան թաթարների մասնակցությունն ապահովելու ուղղությամբ և կարողացավ իր կողմը գրավել ոչ միայն մեծ թվով թաթարների, այլև պարսիկների:
1905-1907 թթ. հեղափոխության շրջանում ձևավորվեց նաև ազատական ուղղությունը: Այս հոսանքի ակտիվացումը պայմանավորված էր երկու գործոններով՝ Ռուսաստանի մահմեդականների իրավունքների պաշտպանության համար սկսված շարժմամբ ու Այսրկովկասում Կադետական կուսակցական գործունեությամբ: Ազատական շարժումն Այսրկովկասում հետապնդում էր մահմեդականների ու քրիստոնյաների իրավունքների հավասարեցման, մայրենի լեզվով կրթության և լուսավորության նպատակներ, իսկ տեղական վարչակազմակերպական առավելագույն պահանջը մշակութային ինքնավարությունն էր:

Published: December 2022

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem in Singapore. Efforts are being made to right-site CKD care (stage 1 to 3) from specialist outpatient clinics (SOCs) to general practitioners (GPs) to ease congestion. This study aims to identify factors influencing screening and management of CKD among GPs in Singapore. Materials and Methods: A survey was conducted among the 1202 GPs between April and September 2010. The survey questionnaire was developed in collaboration with experts in nephrology and general practice, it included questions about screening, awareness and management of CKD. Population studied: GPs registered with the National Healthcare Group General Practitioner (NHG GP) partner database. Results: Three hundred and two GPs completed the survey. A total of 70% of the respondents were males and with their median years of practice as 18. A total of 86% of them reported screening for CKD while 50% of GPs were confident of managing patients with CKD stage 1; and 38% of GPs are aware of CKD guidelines. Majority of GPs (64%) agreed that right-siting of early CKD patients would ease congestion at SOCs. Some of the obstacles in CKD management listed by the GPs were lack of patient trust, experience and communication with the specialist and the inability of the patient to pay. Conclusion: GPs screen patients for CKD, however their awareness of guidelines is limited. Opportunities exist for improving physician recognition of CKD, awareness of CKD guidelines, improving collaborative care and reimbursement for the patient and the provider. This study has identified factors which when addressed could lead to wider acceptance of CKD right-siting by both the patients and the GPs.

Amaç: Sera tarımında sebze yetiştiricilerinin pestisit kullanımına ilişkin görüşleri ile sağlık okuryazarlık durumu arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı-kesitsel olarak yapılan bu araştırmanın evrenini Adana İli Seyhan İlçesi bölgesinde yer alan 10 hektar ve üstü seralar oluşturmaktadır. Örneklem seçimine gidilmemiş olup evrene ulaşılması hedeflenmiştir. Araştırmayı kabul eden 335 sera işçisi ile araştırma tamamlanmıştır. Örneklem büyüklüğünün değerlendirilmesi için güç analizi yapılmış ve G*Power 3.0.10 programıyla çalışmanın gücü %99.5 olarak bulunmuştur. Verilerin toplanmasında bireylerlere tanıtıcı bilgi formu ve “Yetişkin Sağlık Okuryazarlığı Ölçeği (YSOÖ)” kullanılmıştır. Analizde; “Mann-Whitney U” test (Z-tablo değeri), “Kruskal-Wallis H” test (χ2-tablo değeri) yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Üç veya daha fazla gruplarda anlamlı fark çıkan değişkenlerin ikili karşılaştırmaları için Bonferroni düzeltmesi uygulanmıştır. Normal dağılıma sahip olmayan değişkenlerde “Spearman” korelasyon katsayısı kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan sera işçilerinin %57.3’ü kadın, %37.9’u 18-27 yaş aralığında %40.0’ının eğitim düzeyinin ilkokul, %65.6’inin günlük ortalama çalışma süresinin 9-12 saat olduğu, %61,8’nin düzenli sağlık kontrolü yaptırmadığı, %86.6’sının serada pestisit, %55.2’sinin pestisit temin ettiği yerin bayi olduğu, %68.3’nün pestisit etkilerindeki uyarıları okuduğu belirlenmiştir. Yetişkin Sağlık Okuryazarlık Ölçeği puan ortalamaları 12.86±4.25 olduğu sağlık okuryazarlık arttıkça düzenli sağlık kontrolü yaptırma, pestisit etiketlerini okuma ve okuduklarını uygulama oranının arttığı görülmüştür.

Sonuçlar ve Öneriler: Bu araştırmada sera işçilerinin pestisit kullanımının yüksek olduğu (%86.6) görülmüştür. Ayrıca sağlık okuryazarlık düzeyi arttıkça pestisit kullanım davranışlarının pozitif yönde eğilim gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Sera çalışanlarına uygulanan eğitim programların etkinliğinin değerlendirildiği nitel araştırmalar, deneysel tasarımlı ileri çalışmalar yapılması ve birey ve aile odaklı eğitim programları önerilmektedir.

Aim: This study was conducted descriptively to determine the effects of the spiritual orientation of hemodialysis patients on their levels of hopelessness.

Method: The study sample consisted of 100 hemodialysis patients treated at Ondokuz Mayıs University Health Application and Research Center (OMUHARC) hemodialysis unit, nephrology service and City Health Center affiliated to OMUHARC between July 2017 and May 2018. The data were collected using patient introductory information forms, Spiritual Orientation Scale (SOS) and Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS). The compliance of the data to normal distribution was examined using the Shapiro Wilk test. Kruskal Wallis and Mann Whitney U tests were used to compare data that did not conform to normal distribution. Spearman correlation analysis was used to examine the relationship between the sub-dimensions of the scales.

Result: The patients' average age was 56.7±14.4, 59% were male, 80% were married, 53% were diagnosed with chronic renal failure 1-5 years ago, 75% had been receiving hemodialysis treatment for 1-5 years and 63% had another chronic disease. The mean total score of SOS was 99.57±15.51. The mean BHS total score was 5.68 ± 4.43; while the emotions and expectations about the future sub-dimension mean total score was 1.2 ± 1.29, that of the motivation loss sub-dimension was 2.56±1.89, whereas that of the hope sub-dimension was 1.91±1.82. A moderately negative significant correlation was found between SOS and BHS (r: -0.385, p
