Penerapan Diversi Sebagai Perlindungan Hukum Terhadap Anak Pelaku Tindak Pidana Pencurian Dalam Sistem Peradilan Pidana Anak
Authors: Bangun Rudy , Kristiawanto Kristiawanto , Dewi Diah Sulastri
Published: June 2022

The purpose of this research is to find out the legal protection of children as perpetrators of the crime of theft through the diversion system in the juvenile criminal justice system. The research method used in this research is normative juridical research derived from the literature and court decisions. The results of the study indicate that legal protection of children as perpetrators of the crime of theft through diversion in the juvenile criminal justice system is the transfer of settlement of children's cases from the criminal justice process to a process outside of a fair criminal justice with an emphasis on restoring back to its original state, and not retaliation. In addition, through diversion, children as perpetrators of the crime of theft are given punishment with an educational aspect in order to provide justice and legal protection to children without ignoring the child's criminal responsibility in a non-formal way. Based on this description, it can be said that diversion is not a peaceful effort between a child who commits a crime of theft and the victim or his family, but a form of punishment for children in conflict with the law.

Tujuan dari pnelitian ini yaitu untuk mengetahui perlidungan hukum terhadap anak sebagai pelaku tindak pidana pencurian melalui sistem diversi dalam sistem peradilan pidana anak. Metode penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yaitu penelitian yuridis normatif yang berasal dari kepustakaan dan putusan pengadilan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perlidungan hukum terhadap anak sebagai pelaku tindak pidana pencurian melalui diversi dalam sistem peradilan pidana anak yaitu pengalihan penyelesaian perkara anak dari proses peradilan pidana ke proses diluar peradilan pidana yang adil dengan penekanan pada pemulihan kembali pada keadaan semula, dan bukan yang bersifat pembalasan. Selain itu melalui diversi, anak sebagai pelaku tindak pidana pencurian diberikan pemidanaan yang beraspek pendidikan guna memberikan keadilan dan perlindungan hukum kepada anak tanpa mengabaikan pertanggung jawaban pidana anak dengan cara nonformal. Berdasarkan uraian tersebut maka dapat dikatakan abahwa diversi bukanlah sebuah upaya damai antara anak yang melakukan tindak pidana pencurian dengan korban atau keluarganya akan tetapi sebuah bentuk pemidanaan terhadap anak yang berkonflik dengan hukum.

Abstract

Can prokineticin 1 be used as a biomarker in preeclampsia?

Aim:

Prokineticins are a group of peptides which play important roles in angiogenesis, hematopoiesis and reproduction. Prokineticin 1 (PROK1) is reported to be the major subgroup affecting the female reproductive development.

PROK1 is secreted from the syncytiotrophoblasts and it prevents extravillous trophoblastic cell migration in the first trimester which predispose to the abnormal placentation and preeclampsia (PE). Hypoxia provokes the expression of PROK1 therefore its serum levels increase in pregnants with PE. The aim of the present study was to reveal the value of PROK1 as a marker of PE.

Materials and Method:

A total of 84 pregnant women were admitted to the study, and 43 of them were diagnosed with preeclampsia. 41 healthy pregnant women were included in the control group. The preeclampsia group was divided into two subgroups as mild PE (n=27) and severe PE (n=16).

About 10 ml of venous blood was collected from each participant and dispensed into lithium heparin, and serum was obtained, which were stored at – 80 c until analyzed. Serum PROK1 measurements were performed by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELİSA). All tests were two-tailed, and p
Trombosit Kitle İndeksi Yenidoğanın Geçici Takipnesi Tanılı Geç Preterm Bebeklerin Solunum Destek Süresini Öngörebilir mi?
Authors: ŞAHİN Suzan , GÜNEŞ Sezgin , ÖNCEL Mehmet Yekta
Published: June 2022

Amaç: Yenidoğanın geçici takipnesi (YDGT), yenidoğan yoğun bakımda çalışan hekimlerin en sık karşılaştığı solunumsal problem olup geç preterm bebeklerde görülme oranları, term bebeklere göre daha yüksektir. Trombositler, tam olarak bilinmeyen bir mekanizma ile akciğerde sıvı toplanmasını ve akciğer ödemini engeller. Trombositin fonksiyonu, sadece MPV (ortalama trombosit hacmi) ya da sadece trombosit sayısından ziyade, trombosit kitle indeksi ile daha doğru olarak değerlendirilebilir. Çalışmamızda, YDGT tanılı geç preterm bebeklerde sonunum destek ihtiyacı süresini ve diğer solunumsal sonlanımları ile PMI (trombosit kitle indeksi) başta olmak üzere trombosit belirteçlerinin ilişkisinin araştırılması planlanmıştır.

Gereçler ve Yöntem: Bu retrospektif çalışmada, 1 Ağustos 2020-31Temmuz 2021 tarihleri arasında, YDGT tanısı ile Buca Seyfi Demirsoy Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi yenidoğan yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatırılmış, takipnesi en az 12 saat sürmüş tüm geç preterm yenidoğanlara ait veriler hastane kayıtlarından incelendi. Bebeklerin trombosit belirteçleri, lökosit ve nötrofil değerleri ile solunum destek süreleri karşılaştırıldı. Ayrıca bu parametreler, gestasyonel haftalara göre olası farklılıklar açısından değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya 52 bebek dahil edildi. Gestasyonel hafta ortancası 35 hafta (34-366/7), ortalama doğum ağırlıkları 2647474 idi. Bebeklerin toplam solunum destek süreleri ya da >48 saat solunum desteği almaları ile trombosit sayısı, MPV, PMI, lökosit ve absolut nötrofil sayısı (ANS) ile ilişkili saptanmadı. Ancak 72 saatten fazla solunum desteği alan bebeklerde PMI değerlerinin daha düşük olduğu ve bunun da istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu görüldü. Ayrıca MPV değerinin 35.gestasyon haftasında, ANS değerinin ise 36. gestasyon haftasında doğan bebeklerde anlamlı olarak yüksek olduğu görüldü.

Sonuç: Çalışmamızda, trombosit belirteçlerinden, PMI’nın, YDGT tanılı geç preterm bebeklerin 72 saatten uzun süre solunum desteği almaları ile ilişkili olduğu, bu bebeklerin ortalama PMI değerlerinin daha düşük olduğu görülmüştür. Ancak benzer bir ilişki diğer trombosit belirteçleri ile solunum destek süresi arasında saptanmamıştır.

Authors: ELBAYİYEV Sarkhan , ÇAKIR Ufuk
Published: June 2022

Amaç: Yenidoğan bebeklerin terkedilmesi tüm dünyada hastanelerin hem finansal hem de sosyal açıdan karşılaştığı en büyük sorunlardan biridir. Türkiye şartlarında olduğu gibi, gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerde en önemli bebek terki nedenleri yoksulluk, ebeveyn ölümü, boşanma ve hastalık gibi nedenlerin dışında son dönemlerde annesi tarafından terkedilen bebeklerin babalarının kimliğinin belli olmaması, yasadışı madde (sigara, alkol dahil) kullanımı gibi nedenlere bağlı bebek reddi oranında ciddi artışlar gözlenmektedir. Bu çalışmada doğum sonrası hastanede terkedilen bebeklerin demografik, klinik ve laboratuvar özelliklerini değerlendirerek risk faktörlerini belirlemeyi amaçladık.

Metot: Çalışmaya Eylül 2019 ve Ekim 2021 tarihleri arasında Ankara Şehir Hastanesinde doğan ve annesi tarafından hastanede terk edilerek Sosyal Hizmetler ve Çocuk Esirgeme Kurumuna verilen yenidoğanlar dahil edildi. Hastaların demografik, klinik ve laboratuvar verileri hastane veri sistemi ve hasta dosyalarından alınarak kaydedildi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 26 bebek dahil edildi. Bebeklerin annelerinin yarısından fazlası (n:15 (%57)) hastanemizde takipli değildi. Altı annede yasadışı madde, dört annede gebelik boyunca sigara ve alkol kullanımı mevcuttu. En çok kullanılan yasadışı madde ise eroindi 3/6 (%50).

Sonuç: Aile planlaması, eğitim düzeyinin iyileştirilmesi, kamu spotu ve gençlerin cinsel gelişim konusunda eğitimlerinin tamamlanması, sosyal farkındalık yapılması ve Sosyal Hizmetler ve Esirgeme Kurumuyla her zaman irtibatta olunması gerekmektedir.

Objective: This article aims to assess the validity and reliability of the SERVPERF scale used for evaluating the quality of training services at the Hanoi University of Public Health (HUPH). Methods: The research team used the SERVPERF scale, translated and standardized this instrument. The self-structured questionnaire based on the SERVPERF scale was administered to 350 students currently attending formal courses at the HUPH. Principal Components Analysis (PCA) was performed with Cronbach' Alpha to measure the instrument items' internal consistency to assess the scale's reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to validate the relevance of the scale. Results: All the interscale correlations were positive and significant. The overall statistical value for Cronbach's alpha was equal to 0.91 (95%CI: 0.91-0.94), and in all domains, this value ranged from 0.7 to 0.92. The factor analysis identified eight factors that explain 66.6% of the variance, 5 of which consisted of the same structure as the theoretical model's five domains. Conclusions: The University should use SERVPERF to assess the quality of training services yearly so that proper adjustments can be made to improve training quality, thereby enhancing students' satisfaction and confidence in service quality. Keywords: SERVPERF, reliability, validity, University.

We present a large ∼30″ × 30″ spectroscopic survey of the Galactic Center using the SINFONI IFU at the VLT. Combining observations of the last two decades we compile spectra of over 2800 stars. Using the Bracket-γ absorption lines, we identify 195 young stars, extending the list of known young stars by 79. In order to explore the angular momentum distribution of the young stars, we introduce an isotropic cluster prior. This prior reproduces an isotropic cluster in a mathematically exact way, which we test through numerical simulations. We calculate the posterior angular momentum space as a function of projected separation from Sgr A*. We find that the observed young star distribution is substantially different from an isotropic cluster. We identify the previously reported feature of the clockwise disk and find that its angular momentum changes as a function of separation from the black hole and thus confirm a warp of the clockwise disk (p ∼ 99.2%). At large separations, we discover three prominent overdensities of the angular momentum. One overdensity has been reported previously, the counterclockwise disk. The other two are new. Determining the likely members of these structures, we find that as many as 75% of stars can be associated with one of these features. Stars belonging to the warped clockwise disk show a top-heavy K-band luminosity function, while stars belonging to the larger separation features do not. Our observations are in good agreement with the predictions of simulations of in situ star formation and argue for the common formation of these structures.
Inferring the Intermediate-mass Black Hole Number Density from Gravitational-wave Lensing Statistics

Published: June 2022

The population properties of intermediate-mass black holes remain largely unknown, and understanding their distribution could provide a missing link in the formation of supermassive black holes and galaxies. Gravitational-wave observations can help fill in the gap from stellar mass black holes to supermassive black holes with masses between ∼100–104
M
⊙. In our work, we propose a new method for examining lens populations through lensing statistics of gravitational waves, here focusing on inferring the number density of intermediate-mass black holes through hierarchical Bayesian inference. Simulating ∼200 lensed gravitational-wave signals, we find that existing gravitational-wave observatories at their design sensitivity could either constrain the number density of 106 Mpc−3 within a factor of 10, or place an upper bound of ≲104 Mpc−3 if the true number density is 103 Mpc−3. More broadly, our method leaves room for incorporation of additional lens populations, providing a general framework for probing the population properties of lenses in the universe.
Native-alien populations—an apparent oxymoron that requires specific conservation attention
Authors: Nelufule Takalani , Robertson Mark P. , Wilson John R. U. , Faulkner Katelyn T.
Published: June 2022

Many countries define nativity at a country-level—taxa are categorised as either alien species or native species. However, there are often substantial within-country biogeographical barriers and so a taxon can be native and alien to different parts of the same country. Here, we use the term ‘native-alien populations’ as a short-hand for populations that result from the human-mediated dispersal of individuals of a species beyond a biogeographical barrier to a point beyond that species’ native range, but that is still within the same political entity as parts of the species’ native range. Based on these criteria, we consider native-alien populations to be biological invasions. However, we argue that, in comparison to other alien populations, native-alien populations: 1) are likely to be closer geographically to their native range; 2) are likely to be phylogenetically and ecologically more similar to native species in their introduced range; and 3) options to control their introduction or manage them will likely be more limited. We argue this means native-alien populations tend to differ from other alien populations in the likelihood of invasion, the types of impacts they have, and in how they can be most effectively managed. We also argue that native-alien populations are similarly a distinct phenomenon from native populations that are increasing in abundance or range extent. And note that native-alien populations are expected to be particularly common in large, ecologically diverse countries with disjunct biomes and ecoregions. Reporting, monitoring, regulating and managing native-alien populations will, we believe, become an increasingly important component of managing global change.

Cet article retrace la trajectoire artistique de l’instrumentiste burkinabè Adama Koeta dans le but d’appréhender les expériences, les rencontres et les acquis qui ont nourri son développement créatif. À travers l’analyse de son cheminement de formation dans la pratique des harpes-luth ( kamalengoni , kora ), de ses multiples engagements professionnels et des réseaux qu’il mobilise au Burkina Faso, en France et en Suisse, il s’agira d’identifier les ressorts ordinaires et inédits qui meuvent l’activité artistique dans une dynamique translocale. L’approche biographique permettra de relever l’aspect singulier du parcours migratoire d’Adama tout en faisant transparaître les contours des mondes de l’art dans lesquels une bonne partie des musiciens ouest-africains évoluent.
« La liberté des prix devient la règle ». La libération des prix et l’établissement de la politique de la concurrence en 1986
Authors: Warlouzet Laurent
Published: June 2022

L’ordonnance du 1 er  décembre 1986 impose une double rupture avec la fin du contrôle des prix et l’établissement d’une politique de la concurrence de plein exercice. C’est la fin du dirigisme de Vichy selon certains observateurs. En lieu et place d’un contrôle tatillon des prix, émerge le Conseil de la concurrence, une autorité qui décide seule, indépendamment du ministère de l’Économie autrefois tout puissant, en matière d’entente. L’ouverture des archives permet d’évaluer tant le processus de décision, où le rôle d’impulsion d’Édouard Balladur s’impose comme déterminant, que de remettre en perspective cette double réforme, qui apparaît comme en continuité directe avec celle de 1977 promue par Valéry Giscard d’Estaing et Raymond Barre, mais aussi avec certaines inflexions introduites par les gouvernements socialistes antérieurs. À une autre échelle, elle permet de mesurer la part de la dynamique européenne, alors que la France et ses huit voisins de la Communauté économique européenne s’accordent en 1986 autour du projet de marché unique, et que les gouvernements voisins adoptent parfois des réformes similaires.
La catégorie des droits et libertés que la Constitution garantit doit-elle désormais être considérée comme stabilisée ?
Authors: Boré Louis
Published: June 2022

Si les droits et libertés constitutionnelles existent depuis que la France a une constitution, c’est le nouvel article 61-1 de la Constitution du 4 octobre 1958, issu de la révision du 23 juillet 2008, qui les a constitués en catégorie juridique autonome soumise à un régime spécifique puisqu’eux seuls peuvent fonder une question prioritaire de constitutionnalité. Le Conseil constitutionnel a donc dû délimiter les frontières de cette notion juridique, tout en continuant à enrichir son contenu.
Efficacy and Safety After Toric Posterior Chamber Implantable Collamer Lens and Toric Iris-Fixated Foldable Phakic Intraocular Lens for Myopic Astigmatism
Authors: Monteiro Tiago , Pinto Christophe , Franqueira Nuno , Faria-Correia Fernando , Mendes José , Alfonso Sánchez José , Vaz Fernando
Published: June 2022

PURPOSE:

To compare visual, refractive, and safety outcomes of toric posterior chamber Implantable Collamer Lens (T-ICL) (STAAR Surgical) and toric iris-fixated foldable phakic intraocular lens (IOL) (T-Artiflex; Ophtec BV) implantation for the correction of myopic astigmatism.

METHODS:

This retrospective cohort study included 312 eyes of 312 patients who had phakic IOL implantation for myopic astigmatism. Two groups were defined: 205 eyes that underwent T-ICL implantation and 107 eyes that underwent T-Artiflex implantation. Safety, efficacy, and predictability outcomes were evaluated preoperatively and at 12 months postoperatively. Refractive and corneal astigmatic vector analysis were performed using the Alpins method.

RESULTS:

One year postoperatively, uncorrected distance visual acuity was 0.05 ± 0.18 (T-ICL) and 0.10 ± 0.16 (T-Artiflex) logMAR, with efficacy indexes of 1.16 ± 0.27 and 1.05 ± 0.31, respectively (
P
< .001). Safety indexes were 1.28 ± 0.30 and 1.21 ± 0.31, respectively (
P
= .04). Spherical equivalent was within ±0.50 diopters (D) of emmetropia in 165 (80.5%) and 88 (82.2%) eyes, respectively. Refractive astigmatic analysis showed an index of success of 0.28 ± 0.33 (T-ICL) and 0.31 ± 0.26 (T-Artiflex) (
P
= .07). Surgically induced corneal astigmatism was 0.48 ± 0.74 and 0.81 ± 0.61 D, respectively (
P
< .001). Mean endothelial loss was 1.11% and 2.05%, respectively (
P
= .42). Six (2.9%) eyes in the T-ICL group and 1 (0.9%) eye in the T-Artiflex group had phakic IOL repositioning due to significant misalignment. No vision-threatening complications occurred.

CONCLUSIONS:

Both the T-ICL and T-Artiflex groups showed high visual and refractive efficacy with a good safety profile for the correction of myopic astigmatism. T-ICL implantation demonstrated significantly better efficacy and safety indexes after 12 months. Vector analysis showed similar refractive astigmatic correction in both groups, but T-Artiflex implantation revealed higher surgically induced corneal astigmatism.

Under some mild assumptions on \begin{document}$ V $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ f $\end{document}, we prove the existence of ground state sign-changing solution for \begin{document}$ \lambda>0 $\end{document} large enough by adopting the deformation lemma and constrained minimization arguments. Then, the least energy of sign-changing solutions is strictly large than two times the ground state energy. Additionally, the phenomenon of concentration for ground state sign-changing solutions is also analysed as \begin{document}$ \lambda\rightarrow \infty $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ \mu\rightarrow0 $\end{document}.
The Effects of Tablet Use on Student Learning Achievements, Participation, and Motivation at Different Levels
Authors: Liu Xixi
Published: June 2022

The incorporation of tablets into education has become widespread in recent years. Their use enables learners to gain access to a plethora of learning resources. Nevertheless, reasonably little has been done to systematically review the effects of tablet-assisted learning on student learning achievements, participation, and motivation. In this study, both the positive and negative effects of tablet-assisted learning were explored. In addition, the motivational elements of tablet-assisted learning were discussed, coupled with an analysis of its effects on motivation and gender differences in tablet use. The roles of tablet use in learner participation and ways to enhance learner participation were also studied. Additionally, we discussed the impacts of tablet-assisted learning at different grade levels and provided constructive suggestions for technologists and educators. Further research should carry out empirical investigations with large samples or by combining tablets with gamification to identify more factors affecting tablet use and address the existing problems.
Orange Waste Films as a Raw Material for Designing Bio-Based Textiles: A Hybrid Research Method
Authors: Dumitrescu Delia , Kooroshnia Marjan , Syed Samira , Zamani Akram
Published: June 2022

Bio-based textiles are an emerging area of cross-disciplinary research, involving material science and design and contributing to textile sustainability. An example of a bio-based textile is an orange-waste film, which is plant-based and biodegradable and possesses mechanical properties which are comparable to some commodity plastics. The research project presented in this article aimed to explore orange-waste film as a new material for textile and fashion design and highlights how experimental co-design processes and innovation involving orange waste film as a textile material adds a new layer of material understanding to both textile design and technology-driven material research. Material-development methods were used to develop the orange-waste film, as were textile design methods with a focus on surface design. The results show that material variables such as tensile strength and elongation are dependent on the grinding process and drying temperature used for the raw material, as these determined the quality and durability of the orange-waste film and its applicability to the field of textile design. The use of orange waste in the creation of textiles opens up for more ways of thinking about and working with materials, and orange waste could become a desirable raw material for textile design on the basis that it introduces certain aesthetic and functional possibilities through its visual and tactile expression and material behaviour, in addition to defining methods of producing textiles.
Exploring Nanofibers and Hydrogels as Collagenase Carriers for the Development of Advanced Wound Dressings
Authors: Antunes Jerome , Ribeiro Artur , Lemos Daniela , Miranda Teresa , Santos Jorge , Soares Graça
Published: June 2022

Collagenase acts by promoting wound debridement, contributing to the tissue repair process. Several studies pointed collagenase as a substance involved in the elimination of devitalized tissue or any contaminated material found in the wound bed after the appearance of a lesion or skin burn. In the present work hydroxypropyl methylcellulose/cyclodextrins hydrogels and polycaprolactone nanofibers with the ability to transport collagenase for the treatment of skin lesions, were synthesized and characterized. The collagenase polymeric carriers showed good physicochemical properties and presented the ability to retain the enzyme in its structure. Moreover, the PCL carriers did not display cytotoxic effect on human skin fibroblasts. Controlled release and in vitro diffusion studies revealed a slow release of active collagenase confirming the ability of the new systems to be used as carriers’ devices in the treatment of skin lesions.
From Grave to Cradle - Development of Weft Knitted Fabrics Based on Hybrid Yarns from Recycled Carbon Fibre Reclaimed by Solvolytic Process from of EOL-Components

Published: June 2022

Carbon fibre (CF) is widely used in CF reinforced plastic (CFRP) components. However, waste CF, CFRP and the end-of-life (EOL) CFRP structures will cause an even bigger problem in the next years because of strict environmental regulations. Currently, recycling is carried out almost entirely by the use of pyrolysis to regain CF as a valuable resource. This high temperature process is very energy consuming and the resulting fibres are brittle. Hence, not suitable for textile processing into yarns or fabrics. To enable a grave to cradle circle, a new approach based on a solvolytic recovery of CF and the subsequent spinning process to obtain a hybrid yarn suitable for weft knitting processing is the focus of the international research project IGF/CORNET 256EBR “3D-r-CFRP”.
Influence of Fabric Structure on the Adhesion and Functional Properties of 3D Printed Polymers on the Woven Fabric
Authors: Čuk Marjeta , Gramc Kristina , Muck Deja , Bizjak Matejka
Published: June 2022

In the textile industry, various 3D printing technologies are used in fashion design and functional clothing (protective, military and sportswear, including wearable electronics), where the textile substrate is functionalized using additive technology. 3D printing allows the personalization of the product, which translates in the apparel industry in the production of special clothing or the customized production of clothing parts with additional functions at a more rational cost. In our research, we developed and investigated textiles with enhanced protective properties produced by direct 3D polymer printing on fabrics. Twelve woven fabrics were produced in sateen, twill and hopsack with two different weft yarns and in two weft densities. A preliminary T-peel test was used to determine the optimal fabric structure that would ensure maximum adhesion for direct 3D printing of thermoplastic materials on fabric. 3D objects were printed on textile substrates using fused deposition modeling (FDM) technology and thermoplastic acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polylactic acid (PLA) filaments. The main objective was to develop functional textiles with improved protective properties. The results of the physical-mechanical and permeability properties of the functional textiles indicate a promising increase in abrasion resistance by at least 70%, although some other properties deteriorate.

Published: June 2022

The ability of certain dyestuffs to change colour in a predictable and reversible way with the change in temperature is a property that can be well utilized in smart textiles. Accurate and repeatable determination of the chromatic response of the dye stuff and as an extension of the textile material dyed using these dyes in a significant step towards developing such smart textiles. In this regard the current research project proposes a method for investigating the thermochromic properties of textiles using a custom made testing setup, that includes a digitally controlled heating and cooling equipment as well as a set up to obtain the chromatic response of the textiles every 0.5 °C. Moreover, the proposed set up allows for the investigation of heating/ cooling cycling of the specimens, to confirm the repeatability of the chromatic response of the specimens.

The purpose of this study was to investigate a potential antimicrobial activity of biodegradable cellulose acetate (CA)/ cetylpyridinium bromide (CPB) nanofiber filters produced by electrospinning technique. Samples of these nanofibers were produced over a nonwoven substrate, using a polymeric solution in the electrospinning process. Wettability tests were performed by measuring the contact angle of droplets of water deposited on their surface. The evaluation of the antibacterial properties of the nanofibers was performed for Escherichia coli using quantitative methods. Regarding the contact angle measurement, it presented about 63o, showing that this material can be wetted by water. The antibacterial test results showed that the use of the surfactant provides antibacterial properties to the CA/CPB nanofibers, presenting 100% reduction for bacteria. Further studies are necessary, however, these preliminary results showed that, based on these features, the nanofibers could be applied as a filter media for indoor air conditioning systems, mainly due to their biocidal properties.

Literature regarding the impacts of heavy metal exposure on erectile dysfunction (ED) is scarce. We aimed to evaluate the correlation between 10 urinary metals and ED in a large, nationally representative adult male sample. The dataset was extracted from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during the period of 2001–2002 and 2003–2004. Weighted proportions and multivariable logistic regression analysis adjusted for confounding variables were utilized to determine the relationship between metal exposure and ED. Weighted quantile sum (WQS) regression was utilized to evaluate the impact of a mixture of urinary metals on ED. A total of 1328 participants were included in our study. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, cobalt (Co) and antimony (Sb) were positively associated with ED (odds ratio [OR]: 1.36, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.10–1.73, P = 0.020; and OR: 1.41, 95% CI: 1.12–1.77, P = 0.018, respectively) after full adjustment. Men in tertile 4 for Co (OR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.02–2.41, P for trend = 0.012) and Sb (OR: 1.53, 95% CI: 1.08–2.40, P for trend = 0.041) had significantly higher odds of ED than those in tertile 1. Furthermore, the WQS index was significantly linked with increased odds of ED after full adjustment (OR: 1.31, 95% CI 1.04–1.72, P < 0.05). Our study expanded on previous literature indicating the possible role of heavy metal exposure in the etiology of ED. The evaluation of heavy metal exposure should be included in the risk assessment of ED.

Introduction:

The world has witnessed a surge of COVID-19 cases since the first case was reported in 2018 December, and despite the large number of cases seen across the world, there are still many gaps in the understanding of the course of the disease in different people. Several scoring systems and early warning signs have been developed to prognosticate the disease process. Clustering the patients into specific clinical phenotypes is one such strategy. In this study, we have clustered the COVID-19 patients using different variables into phenotypes and studied the outcome based on this classification.

Aim and Objectives:

To derive clinical phenotypes based on demographic, clinical, and laboratory data of COVID-19 patients and look at the efficiency of the phenotypes as a model for predicting course of disease.

Materials and Methods:

A retrospective cohort study on COVID-19 patients admitted to a tertiary care hospital in South India between July 2020 and October 2020 was conducted. Nine hundred and eighty-seven subjects fulfilling the inclusion criteria were enrolled.

Results:

Three clinical phenotypes were derived using 43 independent variables which included epidemiological, symptomatology, comorbidities, and laboratory values. Of the 987 patients studied, patients could be clustered into three phenotypes named A, B, and C. There were 379 patients in phenotype A, 313 in phenotype B, and 295 were in phenotype C. Males predominated in phenotypes C and B, which was 218 patients (73.9%) and 204 (65.2%), respectively. Mild disease was predominant in phenotype A (89.2%) patients, followed by10.3% of moderate disease and 0.5% of severe COVID disease. In phenotype B, 93.3% of patients had mild disease and the rest 21 (61.7%) had moderate disease. In phenotype C, 177 (60%) patients had severe COVID disease. Mortality was seen in phenotype C (23.1%).

Conclusions:

It can be inferred that among the phenotypes, the hyperinflammatory group was phenotype C. The independent predictive association of each variable such as age, male gender, and comorbidity is an important factor in determining the outcome but, because of the varied distribution of the multiple variables in each patient, it is not possible to consider each of these values independently and deduce the outcome, hence phenotypes which cluster the patients based on all these variables are associated with predictable outcomes The phenotypes thus can be implicated as a tool to aid in clinical management of COVID-19.

Sellar gangliocytomas are exceedingly rare, well-differentiated, low-grade neoplasms that frequently occur in the presence of a pituitary adenoma (PA). We report a case of a sellar gangliocytoma coexisting with growth hormone (GH) secreting PA. A 43-year-old man was brought to our hospital with right-eye visual disturbances for 2 months, along with headaches, acromegaly, temporal hemianopia in the right eye, and recent onset of Type 2 diabetes mellitus. Endocrinological studies found elevated serum level of GH. A computed tomographic scan showed a mass in the sellar region with suprasellar extension and thus a diagnosis of an expanding pituitary macroadenoma was established. It was removed by transnasal transsphenoidal surgery. On histopathological examination of the resected specimen, diagnosis of mixed gangliocytoma-PA was confirmed as it showed two distinct morphological components of the tumor comprising neoplastic ganglionic cells and adenomatous cells.

Published: June 2022

Background:

Congenital lung malformations are very rare lung lesions caused by abnormal lung development occurring at different stages of intrauterine life. They are a spectrum of congenital malformations involving the trachea-bronchial tree, pulmonary parenchyma, and the blood vessels. They are a family of pulmonary lesions that include congenital pulmonary airway malformations (CPAM), bronchopulmonary sequestrations, bronchogenic cysts (BC), and congenital lobar emphysema (CLE). The aim of the study is to determine the pattern of congenital malformation of the lungs and the outcomes of treatment in Lagos.

Methods:

This is a prospective study of all patients with congenital lung malformations referred to our center in the period between January 2011 and December 2020. All pediatric cases were diagnosed by the pediatricians in our center and confirmed with chest computed tomography (CT) scan. The adult cases were equally confirmed with a chest CT scan. The lesions encountered in this study include BC, CPAM, bronchopulmonary sequestrations, lung hypoplasia (LH), CLE, and pulmonary arterio-venous malformations. Data collected include biodata, type of malformation, mode of management (surgery), and postoperative outcome and were analyzed as percentages and mean.

Results:

A total of 18 patients who were diagnosed with congenital lung malformations were recruited into this study. The congenital malformations included CLE, CPAM, BC, lung sequestration, LH, and arterio-venous malformation of the lung. Children accounted for 78% (13) of the population, while the adult population was 28%.(5) The neonates constituted 22% (4) with a mean age of 7.5 ± 5.1, whilst the older children made up 50%, with a mean age of 18.8 ± 10.7 months. The mean age of the adult population was 39 ± 15 years. Seventeen (94.41) had surgery, whilst one opted for continued medical surveillance. Two patients died from postoperative respiratory failure.

Conclusion:

Congenital lung malformations, though rare, are a heterogeneous group of diseases with presentation, ranging from neonatal respiratory distress to asymptomatic presentation in the adult. The mainstay of management remains surgery with a reasonably good outcome.

Trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance lies at the heart of autonomous navigation for mobile robots. In this paper, a control architecture for trajectory tracking while avoiding obstacles and controller tuning is proposed for a differential drive mobile robot (DMR). The framework of optimization algorithm is inspired by the food search behavior of beetles using their antennae. Path planning and controller tuning remain computationally demanding tasks despite of the proposed algorithms existing today. Our bio inspired approach unifies these two problems by minimizing the respective cost functions and solving the optimization problem efficiently. Trajectory tracking problem is based on the difference of the current and next pose of the robot while obstacle avoidance is achieved on the principle of maximizing the minimum distance between the robot and obstacle in the path of the robot. The proposed architecture is simulated in V-REP environment using MATLAB. Simulation results have verified that beetle antennae search can successfully plan and track the reference path by tuning the PID controller efficiently.
TÜRKİYE’DEKİ UYGUR DİASPORASININ ÇIKARDIĞI ÇOCUK DERGİLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ: “DÖRT KULAK” ÇOCUK DERGİSİ ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: Abdulmecid Muhammed
Published: June 2022

Bölgedeki istikrarsızlık ve savaş nedeniyle 20. yüzyılın ikinci çeyreğinde başlanan Uygur göçü, 1980 ve 2009 sonrası olmak üzere farklı tarihlerde kitlesel göçler şeklinde kendini göstermiş ve 2015 yılına kadar devam etmiştir. Uygurların göç ettikleri ülkeler sınır komşuluğu nedeniyle ağırlıklı olarak Orta Asya Türk cumhuriyetleri olmuştur. Coğrafi olarak uzak olmasına rağmen, kültürel olarak aynı dile, dinî inanca ve ortak tarihi geçmişe sahip olan Türkiye Cumhuriyeti de Uygurların göç menzilleri arasındadır. Türkiye’ye göç eden Uygurların hem siyasal hem de kültürel olarak varlıklarını sürdürmeye çalıştığı görülmüştür. Bu nedenle çıkarılan gazete ve dergi gibi çeşitli yayınlar bulunmaktadır. Göçün ilk yıllarında çıkarılan dergilerin çoğu Türkçe olarak çıkarılmış, kamuoyu ve farkındalık oluşturmayı amaç edinmiştir. Sonrasında, özellikle 2009 sonrası hem Uygurca hem daha çok kültürel ve edebî konuları temel alan dergiler de çıkarılmaya başlamıştır. Kültürel varlıklarını korumak, çocuklarını kültürel kimlik ve aidiyet, vatan ve vatanseverlik bilinciyle yetiştirebilmek Uygur diasporasını kaygılandıran hususlardır. Türkiye’deki ve yurt dışındaki tüm Uygur çocuklarını kültürel kimlik bilinci ve vatan severlik duygusuyla büyümelerine katkıda bulunmayı amaç edindikleri düşünülen dergiler 2017 yılında ancak yayın hayatını başlayabilmiştir. Bunlardan biri de “Dört Kulak” çocuk dergisidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı diasporik çocuk dergilerinde vatan-vatanseverlik konularının nasıl işlendiği, kültürel kimliklerini nasıl kurguladıkları ve bu kurguyu zamanın gereklilikleri ile nasıl ilişkilendirdiklerini “Dört Kulak” çocuk dergisi özelinde incelemektir. Yöntem olarak nitel doküman analizi kullanılmıştır. Diasporadaki Uygur çocuklarının vatan sevgisi, kültürel kimlik bilinci ve aidiyet duygusu ile yetişmesine katkıda bulunma amacı taşıdığı düşünülen dergi, içerik ve tasarımsal olarak çocukların kendi kültürel değer ve sembollerinin farkında olmalarına ve vatan sevgisini önemsetmeye verdiği önemle diğer çocuk dergilerinden ayrıldığı görülmüştür.
