Published: May 2021

Pilonidal sinus, especially in young males, is one of the most common diseases of the sacrococcygeal region. Although many surgical techniques have been described for pilonidal sinus disease (PSD), high recurrence rates and patient satisfaction are still controversial with regard to the ideal treatment modality. In this study, we aimed to compare the complications in Primary excision, Limberg flap, elliptical rotation flap and karydakis techniques used in patients with pilonidal sinus disease. The patients who were diagnosed with Pilonidal sinus and underwent surgery between January 2012 and January 2017 were retrospectively analysed from our hospital database. Patients in whom the Primary repair, Limberg flap, elliptical rotation flap and karydakis flap repair performed were divided into four groups. The groups were compared in terms of their demographic characteristics, length of hospitalization, seroma formation, surgical site infections, wound dehiscence, flap necrosis, sensory loss and recurrence. There were 107 patients in the primary group, 70 in the Limberg flap group, 72 in the elliptical rotation flap group and 45 in the karydakis flap group. There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of the length of hospitalization (p < 0.001). The maximum length of hospitalization period was observed in the Limberg group and was 2.06 ± 0.95 days. The minimum duration of hospitalization was 1.00 ± 0.00 days in the karydakis group. Wound site infection was observed mostly in the primary group with 15% frequency, whereas this higher ratio was significant when compared with Elliptical Rotation flap and Karydakis flap groups (p = 0.010, 0.024 respectively). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of wound dehiscence, flap necrosis, sensory loss and recurrence. There is no consensus on the ideal surgical technique selection for PSD. Our study revealed that wound infection is common in patients undergoing Primary repair and that there is a difference in terms of length of hospitalization for different techniques. We expect the factors we investigate to be a guide for the surgeons.

The aim of this study is to evaluate attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder in adult primary dysmenorrhea patients. 62 primary dysmenorrhea patients and 52 control group members are included in the study. Demographic characteristics such as education level and age were noted. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms were identified by the Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Scale, Short Form-36 and also Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were conducted. According to the Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Scale scores primary dysmenorrhea patients had a significantly higher rate compared to the control group. In bivariate analysis, Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder Self-Report Scale scores were found to have an association with Short Form-36 physical and mental component scores, anxiety and depression scores. Symptoms of attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder may be confronted in primary dysmenorrhea patients.

In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of different diets on lipid peroxidation, antioxidants, proliferation and vasculogenesis in liver tissue. BALBC female rats (21) were divided as the group fed with standard chow (SC), the group fed with a ketogenic diet (KD) and the group fed with western diet (WD). The rats were fed with tap water and a rat diet specially prepared according to the determined diets for 4 weeks. Liver tissue oxidative damage, proliferation and vasculogenesis were evaluated using spectrophotometric and immunohistopathological methods. At the end of the experiment, it was found that the highest weight gain was in the WD group and the least weight gain was in the KD group. The mean body weight of the WD group was statistically significantly higher compared to the SC and KD groups (p<0.05). MDA levels were found to be lower in the KD group compared to the SC and WD groups. GSH and CAT levels were higher in the KD group compared to the SC and WD groups. In IHC evaluation results, it was seen that Ki-67 percentage in the KD group increased compared to the WD and SC groups (p = 0.000), VEGF was close to each other in all three groups and there was no significant difference in the comparisons between groups (p>0.05). These results revealed that ketogenic diet prevents tissue damage by decreasing lipid peroxidation in liver tissue as well as inducing cellular proliferation and vasculogenesis.

Post-prostatectomy stress incontinence (PPI) is an important health problem for patients with radical prostatectomy history. Duloxetine is a common drug, used in PPI with the out of indications in most countries. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the prophylactic effect of duloxetine administration in PPI during the early postoperative period in patients undergoing laparoscopic radical prostatectomy (LRP). The retrospective study included 209 patients who underwent LRP. Patients were divided into two groups: Group I (n=96) was initiated on pelvic floor exercises (PFE) + duloxetine in the early postoperative period and continued this regimen for a total of 12 weeks and Group II (n=113) only performed PFE for 12 weeks after surgery. Exclusion criteria were as follows: a history of neuromuscular dysfunction of bladder, post-prostatectomy urge incontinence, receiving adjuvant radiotherapy during the 12- week period, prior anti-incontinence surgery, and post-voiding urine>100 ml. The prevalence rates of urinary incontinence measured at the time of urinary catheter removal (baseline) and at weeks 3, 6, and 12 after surgery and the number of wet pads per day were compared. The study included 209 patients with a mean age of 60.68 ± 7.16 years. Baseline urinary continence rates were similar in Group I and Group II (29.2% vs. 35.4%, p=0.338). At 12 weeks, although PPI rates have decreased in both groups, there was no difference between Group I and Group II (15.6% vs. 24.8%, p=0.103). Administration of prophylactic duloxetine in the early postoperative period, which started without regard to the positivity of PPI, is not significantly effective to early postoperative urinary continence recovery.

Approximately 15% of renal cell carcinomas metastasize to the head and neck region. Here in, we report a rare case report of a patient who underwent nephrectomy for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) ten years ago and presented with metastatic renal cell carcinoma on her lower lip. A 65-year-old woman presented with a rapidly growing mass on the lower lip. Pathology report resulted in renal cell carcinoma metastasis. Although metastatic renal cell carcinoma to the head and neck is uncommon, metastasis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a rapidly growing vascular lesion in the head and neck area of patients with renal cell carcinoma.
"Writing into the Rupture": Visual Selves in Mary-Kim Arnold’s Litany for the Long Moment
Authors: Rivers Hana
Published: May 2021

Multimedia texts are gaining more footing in the Asian American literary world, especially following Theresa Hak Kyung Cha’s pre-eminent Dictee (1982). While lesser known, Mary-Kim Arnold’s Litany for the Long Moment (2018) is a highly referential lyric essay that employs visual elements, including personal ephemera, to consider the unrelenting complexities of Asian American identity. Analyzing Arnold’s formal intervention into Asian American literature through Francesca Woodman’s photography and Roland Barthes’ photography theory reveals that visual subjects are evasive and unknowable. Paradoxically, memorabilia has the power to rupture linear notions of time and cast into doubt what we know about past and present selves. Arnold’s engagement with the visual also extends to the body, and throughout the text she unsettles hegemonic constructions of gender and racial signification. Ultimately, an analysis of Litany for the Long Moment reveals that visual subjects rupture the concept of a stable self. Throughout this thesis, I draw from the fields of photography, poststructuralism, and critical race studies to argue that visual representation is not a sufficient mode of racial empowerment. Building off of Arnold’s claims about “writing into the rupture,” lack is not a closure, but an opening through which we can interrogate what it means to be a self.

Review article on COVID-19 and Guillain-Barré syndrome
Authors: Patnaik U. Juhi
Published: May 2021

The tale COVID infection pandemic or as far as we might be concerned better, COVID-19, has assaulted society on a worldwide scale. For the unenlightened, the sickness is brought about by the specific infection Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). It is only from time to time that we have a pandemic seething on that has carried with itself a particularly humongous size of harm and on each and every front of the human culture, be it clinical, practical, social or pretty much anything. Theemerging coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has neurological symptoms comparable to that of the Extreme Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) and MERS-CoV. Medical symptoms such as pain in head, vomiting, nausea, dizziness, muscle pain, anosmia, ageusia, and disorder of consciousness are present in COVID-19 affected people. These signs confirm that the COVID-19 infection affects the nervous system. But nerve affecting manifestations of COVID-19 infection are underreported. Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) is a condition that often arises in various forms. According to the evaluation case reports so far from the start of COVID-19 infection, GBS could be associated with COVID-19 infection. There was a systematic review and published cases that suggested that a broad age range with male predominance was affected. There were respiratory and/or systemic symptoms in most patients and they developed GBS manifestations after COVID-19. However, asymptomatic cases of COVID-19 have also been identified. The distribution of clinical variants and electrophysiological subtypes is close to that of classical GBS, with a higher prevalence of classical sensorimotor form and acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. It seems like it is important to pay attention to the neurological effects of COVID-19.

Natural and anthropogenic disasters become more frequent worldwide. As technology advances, the risk of major industrial accidents increases. Often accidents in the chemical and oil industry, in agriculture, or during transportation, lead to mass poisoning and extensive environmental pollution. The particularities of the medical support in case of such chemical incidents are challenging the healthcare system. The article aims to analyze the chemical accidents and the measures taken to reduce their effect in Bulgaria and in the Black sea aquatory. Historical and documentary methods have been used to gather information on disasters and accidents in Bulgaria, where toxic chemicals have been released into the environment, causing material damage and human casualties. We have researched and analyzed various articles and publications in Bulgarian and foreign scientific journals on the subject. Major industrial and transport accidents in the last 50-60 years on land and water had been selected from the literature sources. Both the reasons that led to them and the measures which were taken to eliminate the consequences were discussed. The major industrial accidents with a release of industrial toxic substances into the environment are relatively common and result in contaminating large areas and many casualties. Chemical accidents at sea are indicative of the need for joint action by different organizations to quickly overcome and avoid environmental impact. The risk of industrial poisonous substances entering the environment is significant and measures to avoid such accidents have to be taken, as well as training of a wide range of health professionals and the general public on the proper behaviour in case of a chemical disaster.

The aim of this article is to present the turbulent historical beginnings of simultaneous conference interpreting. The onset date for the beginnings is the day of the Nurnberg Trials on the 20th of November 1945. The multilingual conduct of the trial was made possible due to the pioneering system created by the IBM company. The method of consecutive interpreting that was used at almost all multinational assemblies up to 1945 would have surely lengthened the trial dramatically since the trial participants of the trial spoke four foreign languages, i.e. Russian, English, German, and French. As Uiberall writes in the foreword to The Origins of Simul­taneous Interpretation, “[t]he system of simultaneous interpretation was crafted by trial and error in an attic room of the Nuremberg Palace of Justice. It served its purpose well and without it the trial would have taken four times as long” (in Gaiba 1998: 11).

The following text concentrates on the presence of the translator, who plays a multitude of roles in the life of translatology, e.g. “transparent glass” or “efficient interface,” depending on the perspective. The translator, currently seen as an object of analysis by theorists of translation, is treated as a person entitled to make decisions, conscious decisions, and who becomes a source whose translation may be interpreted. Due to the inevitability of the translator’s presence in the translated text, it is worth looking at the source text through the translator’s eyes and analyzing his or her decisions. The theoretical background of this article is Langacker’s model pertaining to the choice of linguistic means that convey the language-user’s intentions best; Lakoff’s theory of metaphors; and George Lüdi’s theory of marks left by the translator in the translated text. The analyzed texts have been taken from the different translations of the Bible such as: the Jakub Wujek Bible, New International Version, and the Millennium Bible. The analysis proves that the translator as a subject is a source of research whose direction has changed in the recent years.
Glottodydaktyka a przekład i dydaktyka przekładu: konkurencja czy synergia
Authors: Klimkowski Konrad
Published: May 2021

From time immemorial, reflection upon foreign language learning has made regular reference to translation practice; translation would be regarded at times as supportive of language learning. A radical attempt to eradicate translation from the foreign language classroom comes no sooner than the 20th century. The Direct Method eliminates translation completely from its language pedagogic application, while the CLT seems to have always been rather hesitant to make reference to L1, and hence to utilize translation in developing language skills in L1 and L2. The historical outline of the relationship between language learning and translation serves only as a background for the main topic of the article, i.e. an elaboration on what this relation can look like in the future. The idea is to show areas of synergy between the two, areas in which translation activities can help language learners grow and function in globalized human communication.
A Cognitive Semantics Approach to Darwin’s Theory of Evolution
Authors: Drogosz Anna
Published: May 2021

DARWIN’S THEORY OF EVOLUTION ranks among the most influential of modern scientific theories. Applying the methodology of COGNITIVE SEMANTICS , this study investigates how metaphors based on domains of JOURNEY, STRUGGLE, TREE and HUMAN AGENCY serve to conceptualize key concepts of Darwin’s theory — such as evolutionary change, natural selection, and relationships among organisms. At the outset the author identifies original metaphors in The Origin of Species, to turn to their realizations in modern discourse on evolution in later chapters. Thus, the study uncovers how metaphors contribute to structuring the theory by expressing it in a coherent and attractive way, and how they provide mental tools for reasoning. As the first comprehensive study of conceptual metaphors that underlie Darwin’s theory and affect the way we talk and think about evolution, it may be of interest not only to linguists and evolutionary biologists but also to anyone interested in the interconnection between thought and language.

Published: May 2021

The negative stereotypes and myths associated with bats can adversely affect efforts toward their conservation. A way to overcome these preconceived notions is through environmental education and public outreach. The goal of this project was to establish a system for monitoring bat activity at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, with a component of environmental education included. This was accomplished through the establishment of a bat acoustic detector at Hawk Mountain Nature Center that was linked to a publicly accessible, interactive kiosk. The Hawk Mountain Bat Kiosk runs automated species identification software that compiles nightly bat activity into reports so that visitors can learn about the bat species that were present in the area the night before. The data were saved and analyses run to determine activity trends, indices of diversity, and species richness. We hope to establish additional kiosks to continue monitoring bats and provide public outreach for bat conservation education.

Effect of Soaking/Oven- Drying on Mechanical and Physical Properties of Birch (Betula spp.) Plywood
Authors: Kask Regino , Lille Harri , Kiviste Mihkel , Kruus Silver , Lääne Johann Olaf
Published: May 2021

The objective of this study was to explore some of the physical and mechanical properties of 9-layer birch (Betula spp.) plywood with the addition of phenol-formaldehyde glue, in cases in which the cutting edges of the samples are coated with the damp-proof mastic Fibergum, and in case in which they remain unprocessed (uncoated), following a total of ten cycles of soaking/oven-drying. The properties to be determined were the bending strength (BS), modulus of elasticity in bending (MOE), thickness swelling (TS) and restore dimensions (RD), which were tested according to the European standards (EN). A linear-fractional equation and linear relationship were used for the approximation of any change in the physical and mechanical properties of the samples depending upon the number of soaking/oven-drying cycles. It was shown that the values of the properties investigated were most affected by the first soaking and drying cycle. Thereafter, BS and MOE levels decreased smoothly at a low rate, but the values of TS became stabilised. The BS and MOE values for the wet samples with coated cutting edges were higher than when they were uncoated, as the moisture levels in the former case were lower. After the first soaking of the samples with coated cutting edges, the retention values were as follows: BS at 52.8 % and 66.7 % for the major and minor axes, respectively, with the same applying to MOE at 61.9 % and 64.2 %, while TS was at 105.2 %. To clarify the phenomenon that causes a decrease of the properties, the face plies and edge structures of the initial dry samples and of the samples after the first, second and ninth soaking/oven-drying cycles were studied using the X-Ray technique.Ključne riječi
Development Study of Perceived Institutionalization and Perceived Performance Scales
Authors: Kırklıkçı Ahmet Bora , Gedik Tarık
Published: May 2021

Institutionalization is necessary for corporations to prevent economic, financial, legal, administrative, and technical chaos and thus improve performance. The concept of performance is the most supporting tool in conducting the control function in business management. While the amount of input and products in the forest industry in Turkey is rising, institutionalization is inadequate. This study attempts to methodologically develop and test scales for perceived institutionalization and perceived performance in furniture and panel businesses, which are two sub-sectors of the forest industry. Data was obtained in 35 cities between March and July 2017, through face-to-face interviews with 797 employees in 462 furniture businesses and 31 panel businesses. In the analysis of the study, content validity of the scales was evaluated through expert opinion and initial application, while construct validity was assessed by EFA and CFA. Cronbach alpha coefficient, CR, and AVE were used to evaluate reliability, while the suitability of perceived institutionalization and performance scale model was assessed through SEM. The scales have high reliability and validity, and an improvement in the institutionalization level of a business will result in improvements in performance (r=0.98). Through this methodological study, scales for perceived institutionalization and perceived performance in furniture and panel businesses operating in Turkey and the relationship between perceived institutionalization and perceived performance were explained by a model.

Authors: Demirel Samet , Bas Seda
Published: May 2021

In this study, creep characteristics of single stapled furniture joints made of Scotch pine, alder and beech wood under three different load levels were considered. Load levels were determined as 30 %, 40 % and 50 % of the maximum load obtained as a result of static shear test before creep load and applied to wood joints. Laboratory test results showed that the highest creep deformation was observed in the joints made of Scotch pine with the lowest density, while the lowest creep deformation was observed in the joints made of beech with the highest density. In addition, the joints were exposed to lowest creep deformation at the 30 % load level, then the creep deformation of the joints increased at 40 % load level and it reached the highest value at 50 % load level. As a result of creep test, deformation in single stapled joints made of Scotch pine, alder and beech were determined as 2.74 %, 3.71 % and 4.37 % of the deformation that occurred as a result of static shear test performed before creep test, respectively. Ultimately, the overall average creep deformation value of a single staple wood joint under creep loading was determined as 3.61 %.

Authors: Shirzadi Keyvan , Torkashvand Ali
Published: May 2021

Background: Good vision is an important factor for most night-shift personnel, and the effects of sleep deprivation on visual function must be studied. Up to our knowledge, no study has evaluated the effect of nigh working on choroidal indices. Objectives: In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of sleep deprivation on choroidal thickness. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 50 night-shift healthcare workers of the Islamic Republic of Iran (IRI) army medical core. Baseline choroidal thickness was measured for all participants using optical coherence tomography (OCT), and at the same time (10 AM to 2 PM) a day following the night shift, participants underwent a second measurement of choroidal thickness. The awake time before the second measurement was recorded. Results: The mean age ± standard deviation of the participants was 42.55 ± 5.52 that 52% were female. A statistically significant increase in choroidal thickness was recorded following night-shift (P = 0.001). Choroidal thickness following night-shift significantly correlated with age (r = -0.614; p = 0.001), awake time (r = 0.417; P = 0.003) and with baseline thickness of choroid (r = 0.830; P = 0.001). Conclusions: It seems that sleep deprivation may increase choroidal thickness, and the awake time may a predictor of choroidal thickness change after the night shift.

Published: May 2021

Background: Familial non-medullary thyroid cancer (NMTC) are supposed to be more aggressive and require more frequent treatment compared to non-familial thyroid cancer. Objectives: This matched case-control study aimed to compare the response to treatment between the matched case-control groups of familial and sporadic NMTC. Methods: This is a retrospective study in patients with familial NMTC (at least one other first-degree relative involved) who were treated with surgery, followed by radio-iodine therapy (RIT) without consideration of its familial origin. Response to treatment was compared between familial NMTC and age, sex, and TNM stage-matched non-familial NMTC (control group). Response to treatment was assessed one and two years after RIT, and time to excellent response was identified. Results: Out of 2,944 NMTC patients, 81 (2.75%) patients had familial NMTC. We compared 66 patients with familial NMTC and 66 sporadic NMTC patients. There was no significant difference in first thyroglobulin, initial and accumulative iodine dose, and additional treatments (additional surgery and radiotherapy) between patients and controls. Although no significant difference was noted in one and two years’ responses to treatment between the case and control groups, familial NMTC patients required more time to achieve excellent response (26.7 ± 24.9 versus 15.9 ± 9.0 months, P = 0.01). No significant difference was noted between familial NMTC patients with two or more than two involved relatives. Conclusions: Our study showed that if patients with familial NMTCs were treated in the same way as non-familial patients, the time to excellent response would be significantly longer, even when they have only one other involved relative.
Marital Adjustment, Sexual Function, and Body Image After Hysterectomy
Authors: Mohammadi-Zarghan Shima , Ahmadi Khodabakhsh
Published: May 2021

Background: Hysterectomy is a common surgery among women in which the uterus, cervix, and sometimes ovaries and fallopian tubes are removed. As women’s reproductive organs are important to their sexual image, hysterectomy can affect their psychological status, personal interactions, and especially marital adjustment and sexual function. Moreover, sexual function and marital adjustment can be affected by women’s thoughts about their body image. Objectives: The current study aimed at comparing marital adjustment and sexual function in women’s job, focusing on the moderating role of body image. Methods: This causal-comparative study was conducted among 200 women (100 with hysterectomy and 100 without hysterectomy) recruited via the purposive sampling method. The cases were assigned into two groups of control and study based on their age range, level of education, marital status, and lack of chronic mental and physical disorders. Data collection instruments were the female sexual function index (FSFI), dyadic adjustment scales (DAS), the body image concern inventory (BICI), and a demographic checklist. Results: Independent t-test showed that the total score of marital adjustment (t = -6.108, P = 0.001) and each of its subscales, dyadic agreement (t = -4.44, P = 0.001), marital satisfaction (t = -5.98; P = 0.001), dyadic cohesion (t = -4.38, P = 0.001), expressing affection (t = -5.91; P = 0.001), and sexual function (t = -6.55, P = 0.001) were significantly lower in women undergoing hysterectomy than in those not undergoing hysterectomy. However, according to regression analysis and results of bootstrapping, the upper and lower bounds of the effect of body image on marital adjustment and sexual function were within the overlapping section. Hence, these effects were similar in both groups of the study [95% confidence interval (CI)], and the differences were insignificant. Conclusions: According to the study, marital adjustment and sexual function decrease after hysterectomy. Therefore, specialist treatment and family counseling interventions seem to be essential in order to improve sexual performance and marital adjustment in women who underwent hysterectomy.
A Reproducible Data Analysis Workflow
Authors: Peikert Aaron , Brandmaier Andreas M.
Published: May 2021

In this tutorial, we describe a workflow to ensure long-term reproducibility of R-based data analyses. The workflow leverages established tools and practices from software engineering. It combines the benefits of various open-source software tools including R Markdown, Git, Make, and Docker, whose interplay ensures seamless integration of version management, dynamic report generation conforming to various journal styles, and full cross-platform and long-term computational reproducibility. The workflow ensures meeting the primary goals that 1) the reporting of statistical results is consistent with the actual statistical results (dynamic report generation), 2) the analysis exactly reproduces at a later point in time even if the computing platform or software is changed (computational reproducibility), and 3) changes at any time (during development and post-publication) are tracked, tagged, and documented while earlier versions of both data and code remain accessible. While the research community increasingly recognizes dynamic document generation and version management as tools to ensure reproducibility, we demonstrate with practical examples that these alone are not sufficient to ensure long-term computational reproducibility. Combining containerization, dependence management, version management, and dynamic document generation, the proposed workflow increases scientific productivity by facilitating later reproducibility and reuse of code and data.
A note on a computationally efficient implementation of the EM algorithm in item response models
Authors: Robitzsch Alexander
Published: May 2021

This note sketches two computational shortcuts for estimating unidimensional item response models and multidimensional item response models with between-item dimensionality utilizing an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm that relies on numerical integration with fixed quadrature points. It is shown that the number of operations required in the E-step can be reduced in situations of many cases and many items by appropriate shortcuts. Consequently, software implementations of a modified E-step in the EM algorithm could benefit from gains in computation time.
NIST software package for obtaining Charpy transition curves
Authors: Lucon Enrico , Splett Jolene , Koepke Amanda , Newton David
Published: May 2021

NIST has developed a software package that allows users to fit test results obtained from Charpy or toughness tests as a function of test temperature, thereby obtaining so-called transition curves. Non-linear fitting is available for five regression models, two symmetric and three asymmetric, selected from the literature. The NIST software package includes: an Excel spreadsheet to establish initial values for model parameters, allowing users to obtain meaningful results for the asymmetric models, a Shiny App (web-based interface for R code) that provides an advanced analysis, including confidence bounds and uncertainties for the estimated parameters, and a macro-enabled Excel spreadsheet for a basic-level analysis (regressions curves, characteristic temperatures, and model selection statistics). Example data sets are also included in the NIST software package. The NIST software is tested on three Charpy absorbed energy datasets. Two datasets correspond to actual impact test results performed on various pipeline steels, while the third is a simulated dataset generated from predetermined model parameters. These datasets allow a thorough demonstration of the NIST software. The software is freely available to the scientific community for research purposes.
