The paper presents a comparative overview of the influence of homofermentative and heterofermentative lactic acid bacteria (LAB) on the degree of proteolysis and aerobic stability in Fabacea and Poacea silages. When using Lactobacillus buchneri, compared to Lactobacillus plantarum, in alfalfa silages, a significant increase in the pH value (4.67:4.23), a decrease in the amount of lactic acid (11.8:24.3 g/kg DM) and an increase in the amount NH3-N (70.6:49.8 g/kg N). When using heterofermentative LAB (L. hilgardii and L. Buchneri) compared to the control treatment, a significant increase in the acetate:lactate ratio (3.64:1.85) and a decrease in the number of yeasts was found in corn silages, while there were no significant differences in pH value and amount of NH3-N. Due to the often negative impact of heterofermentative LAB on proteins in leguminous silages, research should be continued in order to determine the best LAB combinations for corn silage, where probiotic yeasts should also be included.

This study aimed to determine blood and milk enzyme activites as indicators of liver function and their correlations in dairy cows during different stage of lactation period. Blood and milk samples were collected from 100 Holstein dairy cows during morning milking. The cows were allocated to four groups according to the production period, including cows in early (n = 18), full (n = 26), mid (n = 25) and late (n = 31) lactation. The value of serum enzyme activites of aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT), and lactate dexydrogenase (LDH) in the blood and milk were determined. The activities of blood and milk serum AST, ALT, ALP and LDH were significantly higher (P< 0.01) in early and full lactation cows than in the other two groups of cows, suggesting mild fat infiltration of liver cells. The enzyme activities in milk were positively correlated with those in the blood (P< 0.01). In conclusion, similar changes in blood and milk serum enzyme activites during lactation and milk to blood correlations confirm that milk has great potential in predicting of blood metabolites and metabolic status of cows.

Authors: EREN KEMAL , AYVACI KEBIRE HILAL , ŞENYURT SÜLEYMAN
Published: March 2023

In this paper, we present the evolutions of the ruled surfaces constructed by the tangent, normal-like, and binormal-like vector fields of a polynomial space curve. These evolutions of the ruled surfaces depend on the evolutions of their directrices using the Flc (Frenet like curve) frame along a polynomial space curve. Therefore, the evolutions of a polynomial curve are expressed in the first step of this study. Then, some geometric properties of the special ruled surfaces are investigated and examples of these surfaces are given and their graphics are drawn using the Mathematica 9 program.

Published: March 2023

In order to present a new estimation approach for multi-parameter distributions without a mean or for heavy tailed distributions, in which the L-moments method proposed by Gumbel, (1960), is invalid due to the absence of theoretical L-moments, Trimmed L-moments were first introduced by Elamir and Seheult (2003). In this paper, a new estimation method based on multi-parameter copulas' Trimmed L-moments is proposed with a simulation study. The consistency and the asymptotic normality of the new estimator also established.
Underlying Causes of Intergenerational Conflict Between Parent-Child Age Bands in Multan City, Pakistan: A Comparative Study
Authors: Sattar Tehmina , Imdadullah Muhammad , Bashir Furrukh , Arshad Farooq
Published: March 2023

The present study was designed to find out the underlying causes of intergenerational conflict between parents and their teenage children in Multan city, Pakistan. The escalated dispute between the Boomer and X generations originated due to abridged connectivity, inadequate emotional ties, and modified socialization patterns. A cross-sectional survey research design was used to determine the comparison of opinions between the parent-child age cohorts. A sample size of n1=202 parents and n2=410 unmarried teenage children from n=120 families were selected from the two towns of the study vicinity. The data was analyzed through simple linear regression analysis in SPSS version-21. From the results, it was evident that inadequate appreciation and affection induced the highest magnitude of parent-child conflict i.e. 50.3%. Furthermore, three other significant indicators of the intergenerational conflict between the two generations were i) lack of time spent (44.2%) ii) ineffective communication (49.1%) and iii) devaluing each other and non-fulfillment of commitment (36.1%). The concluding remarks unveiled that the parents and children were bound by the unbending and inflexible ideology of “Me on the right path.” This stubborn approach unable these two generations to understand and respect each others “privacy” “new normative trends” and “emerging needs of the modernized world.” The solidarity and relational ties between the two age allies could be augmented through understanding, forgiveness, acceptance, appreciation, commitment, adequate time spent, effective communication, and cognitive restructuring.

Published: March 2023

Background: Leptospirosis is one of the neglected causes of febrile illness and death in developing countries, including Tanzania. The study aims to determine the seroprevalence of leptospirosis among hospitalized febrile patients in Unguja Island. 
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out in the three selected hospitals in Unguja Island between January and March 2022. A total of 402 participants with febrile illness were enrolled in the study, and blood samples were collected for sera preparation. Microscopic agglutination test (MAT) was used to detect antibodies against five Leptospira serovars, including Sokoine, Lora, Pomona, Grippotyphosa, and Hebdomadis. All sera samples reacted with MAT titers≥1:160 were counted as positive, MAT titers ranging from 1:20 to 1:80 were counted as exposed to Leptospira bacteria while the absence of agglutination was regarded as negative. The data was analyzed using SPSS version 26, 2019. Descriptive and logistic regression was performed, and p≤0.05 was considered statistically significant.
Results: The mean age of study participants was 29.62 ±16.34, with a range of 0 days to 80 years. Most of them were females (64.2%) and unemployed (67.9%). The overall seroprevalence of leptospirosis was 7.7% (95% CI: 5.3-10.8). Females were 1.016 times higher likelihood to have leptospirosis (AOR = 1.016, 95% CI: 0.47-2.185, p = 0.968). Participants aged 18-35 were 2.093 times more likely to be infected with leptospirosis (AOR= 2.093, 95% CI: 0.835-5.250, p = 0.115). Participants who were unemployed (AOR = 1.169, 95% CI: 0.522-2.615, p = 0.704) revealed a significantly higher likelihood of being infected with leptospirosis. The predominant Leptospira serovars circulating among febrile patients were Sokoine 44 (10.9%), Lora 25 (6.2%), Grippotyphosa 20 (5.0%), Pomona 10 (2.5%), and Hebdomadis 9 (2.2%).
Conclusion: Leptospirosis is a public health threat among febrile patients in Unguja Island; therefore, it’s important to be considered in the differential diagnosis of non-malaria febrile patients for early prevention and control strategies.

Yeni Türk Sinemasında Taşra Nostaljisi
Authors: SATIR Mehmet Emin
Published: March 2023

Nostalji olgusu modernleşme sonrasında sosyal bilimlerin temel tartışmalarından birisi olmuştur. Kentleşme, modernleşme ve sanayileşme ile birlikte toplumlarda kolektif düzlemde bir arayış ortaya çıkmış ve modern hayatın açmazlarından kurtulmak noktasında geçmiş zaman idealize edilmeye başlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda nostaljinin kitleselleşmesi ve yaygınlaşması noktasında modernitenin önemli bir etkisi olmuştur. Farklı zamansal ve mekânsal geçmişe duyulan özlem olarak nostalji, birçok alanda kendisini göstermektedir. Özellikle sinema filmlerinde ise nostalji, başat bir temadır. Türk sinemasında bu durumun taşraya duyulan nostalji olarak belirginleştiği ifade edilebilir. Bilhassa 1990’lı yıllar sonrasında hızlı bir biçimde yükselişe geçen Yeni Türk Sinemasında taşra, nostaljik bir uğrak noktası haline gelmiştir. Yapılmış olan bu çalışmanın amacı da Yeni Türk Sinemasında taşra nostaljisinin görünümlerini ortaya çıkartmaktır. Bu bağlamda yargısal örnekleme tekniği kullanılarak seçilmiş olan Dondurmam Gaymak (2006) ve İftarlık Gazoz (2016) filmleri örnekleminde, doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılarak Yeni Türk Sinemasında taşra nostaljisinin ele alınış biçimleri doğrultusunda analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler, literatürde de yer alan nostaljik paradigmanın temel bileşenleri ekseninde değerlendirilerek, taşra nostaljisinin kurgulanışı üzerine tartışma yürütülmüştür.

Published: March 2023

Despite a high number of incidental online records of spiders predating upon dragonflies/damselflies, studies on these interactions are scarce. Here, we describe the predatory behavior of Argiope trifasciata on the two most common odonate species in the study area, and whether various factors (web width, web length, spider body length, odonate body length, distance of the web from the edge of water body, and height of the web above ground) are related to the number of odonates captured. Argiope trifasciata employed stalking and frontal approaches as Odonata predation strategies. Our findings showed that larger Odonata are preyed upon by larger spiders. The greatest numbers of prey were caught in wider, higher webs, whereas narrow webs closer to the ground caught more small prey. Capturing success by A. trifasciata was similar in webs at different distances from the water for both species. Contrary to our hypothesis, there was no relationship between capturing success in either prey species and the distance of the web from the water. Habitat architecture may be more important to this interaction, as vegetation attracts both spiders (for anchoring webs) and odonates (as perch sites).

Evaluation of the relationship between vitamin-D status and age of pregnant women in the Western Black Sea region of Turkey
Authors: Nacar Mehmet Can , Sel Görker
Published: March 2023

Aims: Vitamin D (Vit-D) is an essential fat-soluble vitamin for the body whose central role is to regulate phosphorus and calcium homeostasis. Various studies have shown that Vit-D deficiency in pregnant women can have adverse consequences for the mother and the fetus. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between Vit-D level and age in pregnant women in the Western Black Sea region of Turkey.
Methods: A total 214 pregnant women analyzed Vit-D between 2015 and 2018 were included in this study. Pregnant women were divided into two groups as under 30 years old and over 30 years old. Serum Vit-D levels were measured by Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Vit-D < 12 ng/mL was considered as Vit-D deficiency, and 12-20 ng/mL was considered as Vit-D insufficiency.
Results: There were 139 (64.95%) women under 30 years old and 75 (35.04%) women 30 years and older. There were 90 women (42.05%) with Vit-D  deficiency and 92 women with Vit-D insufficiency (42.99%).  The proportion of those under 30 years old who had the deficiency and insufficiency level of Vit-D was 60/91 (65.9%) and 61/91 (67.03%), respectively. The pregnant women aged 30 years and older with Vit-D deficiency and insufficiency were 31/91 (34.06%) and 30/91 (32.96%).  There was no significant association between women ages and Vit- D levels (p = 0.381).
Conclusion: Although the relationship between Vit-D levels in women younger than 30 years of age and older is not statistically different, we found that Vit-D deficiency is common in pregnant women in the Western Black Sea region. Vit-D supplementation should be considered in pregnant women to reduce morbidity and effects on fetuses and newborns during pregnancy and lactation.

Published: March 2023

Aims: In this study we aimed to share our treatment approach in patients with intermediate -high risk pulmonary embolism (PE).
Methods: This is a single center retrospective observational study. Patients diagnosed with PE at Akdeniz University Hospital between January 1, 2015, and January 1, 2021, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients whose diagnosis of PE was confirmed by computed tomography angiography (CTA) or perfusion/ventilation scintigraphy were considered to have PE. Patients with intermediate-high risk were included in the study. Patients with a diagnosis of low-risk, low-intermediate risk, high-risk PE, patients younger than 18 years of age, and pregnant were excluded from the study.
Results: A total of 150 patients, 64 (42.7%) male and 86 (57.3%) female, with a mean age of 62.2±16.2 years, who met the criteria of these patients were included. 22.7% (34) of the patients received thrombolytic therapy. While 67.7% (23) of the patients who received thrombolytic therapy received half-dose (50mg rt-PA) thrombolytic therapy, 32.3% (11) received full-dose (100mg rt-PA) thrombolytic therapy. Major hemorrhage (3 intracranial hemorrhages, 1 femoral hemorrhage) was detected in 11.7% (4) of the patients who received thrombolytic therapy.
Conclusion: In conclusion, no significant effect of thrombolytic therapy or full or half dose on mortality and long-term TTE findings was found in the intermediate -high risk group.

Authors: Tamtekin Burak , Ersoy Güler Gülsen , Dal İsmail
Published: March 2023

Aims: Carotid artery disease is one of the most important causes of stroke. If left untreated, it causes serious mortality and
morbidity. The gold standard treatment for carotid artery stenosis is carotid endarterectomy. The use of shunt, primary or patch closure of the arteriotomy varies according to clinical experience. In this article, we present the results of carotid endarterectomy performed with no shunt and primary closure method.
Methods: Thirty cases who underwent carotid endarterectomy in our clinic between April 2021 and April 2022 were analyzed retrospectively. All patients underwent selective carotid surgery. All surgeries were performed with the same
technique and under general anesthesia. The patients were evaluated in terms of demographic characteristics, operation time, cross-clamp time, mortality, morbidity, and hospital stay.
Results: The clinical data of the early follow-up in the first month postoperatively were evaluated. Six (20%) of the patients
were female and 24 (80%) were male. All of the males were active smokers. The mean age was 71.1 (min:65-max:82). Twenty
five patients had a history of coronary artery disease. The mean cross-clamp time was 9.1 (±0.8) minutes. All surgeries were
performed without using shunts. In all patients, primary closure was performed without the use of arterotomy grafts.
Conclusion: As an early morbidity, dysphagia was detected in 1 patient. This symptom disappeared at follow-up at 1 month.
No early mortality was observed in any patient at 1-month follow-up. With increasing experience, carotid endarterectomy
operations can be performed safely with no shunt and primary closure method. Our early surgical results are consistent with
the literature.

This method uses a qualitative descriptive approach. The research strategy used was observation sheets by distributing questionnaires based on learning styles, visual, auditory, and kinesthetic. Based on the results of the study, it was shown that fifth-grade students at SD Negeri Pandeanlamper 01 were more dominant with a visual learning style, obtaining a percentage of 46.63%. This indicates that most students better understand information with their sense of sight, such as seeing pictures and learning video animations. Next is the kinesthetic learning style of 28.67% by processing physical and mental information to move, and the auditory learning style of 25.00% by gaining understanding by listening. This learning style facilitates the needs of diverse students in differentiated learning. Learning style profiles in differentiated learning provide learning readiness, interests, and things each student likes. With differentiated learning, all the needs of students can be accommodated according to each student's interests and learning profile.
El «bamboleo» de la perspectiva de género (y de infancia) en la reciente jurisprudencia: ¿se puede compensar el «daño de maternidad» (incluso monoparental) a través de la Seguridad Social sin su judicialización total?
Authors: Molina Navarrete Cristóbal
Published: March 2023

Por imperativo legal, además de por exigencias de los compromisos internacionales asumidos por España, la jurisprudencia de la Sala Social del Tribunal Supremo lleva años aplicando, al menos en el plano del discurso hermenéutico, la perspectiva de género, tanto en el ámbito laboral como en el de la Seguridad Social. Ahora bien, cuando se lleva a cabo un estudio profundo de su jurisprudencia, el balance resultante es mucho menos positivo del que derivaría de la posición teórica. Precisamente, en estos últimos meses, la Sala Social del Tribunal Supremo ha dictado una serie de sentencias en el ámbito de la Seguridad Social que desnudan las dificultades aplicativas, también las diferencias de posiciones en el seno del Alto Tribunal, tanto de la perspectiva de género como de la perspectiva de infancia (interés superior de la persona menor). Este análisis jurídico, expositivo y crítico, pretende dar cuenta de tres de las más relevantes sentencias (dos de ellas relativas al complemento de maternidad ex art. 60 Ley general de la Seguridad Social, la tercera relativa al permiso por nacimiento para las familias monoparentales ex arts. 177 y ss. Ley general de la Seguridad Social y 48 Estatuto de los Trabajadores). De su conflictividad da cuenta que dos de ellas se hayan dictado con votos particulares y en un escenario de extrema disparidad de criterios de los tribunales de suplicación que, en ciertos casos, se han situado más allá de la función interpretativa de las leyes para aventurarse en una auténtica, y polémica, función creativa.

Abstract. Aerosol particles in Southeast Asia have a complex life cycle and consequently are challenging to characterize. The diverse topography and weather in the region complicate the situation. An aerosol climatology was established based on AERONET data (December 2009 to October 2018) for clear sky days in Metro Manila, Philippines. Aerosol optical depth (AOD) values were highest in August, coinciding with the summer southwest monsoon, due partly to fine particles from urban aerosol particles, including soot. Also, August corresponds to the burning season in insular Southeast Asia when smoke is often transported to Metro Manila. Clustering of AERONET volume size distributions (VSD) resulted in five aerosol particle sources based on the position and magnitude of their peaks in the VSD and the contributions of specific particle species to AOD per cluster based on MERRA-2. The clustering showed that the majority of aerosol particles above Metro Manila were from a clean marine source (58 %), which could be related to AOD values there being relatively smaller than in other cities in the region. The following are the other particle sources over Metro Manila: fine polluted (20 %), mixed polluted (12 %), urban/industrial (5 %), and cloud processing (5 %). Furthermore, MERRA-2 AOD data over Southeast Asia were analyzed using empirical orthogonal functions. Along with AOD fractional compositional contributions and wind regimes, four dominant aerosol particle air masses emerged: two sulfate air masses from East Asia, an organic carbon source from Indonesia, and a sulfate source from the Philippines. Knowing the local and regional aerosol particle air masses that impact Metro Manila is useful in identifying the sources while gaining insight on how aerosol particles are affected by long-range transport and their impact on regional weather.
