Müzakereci Demokrasi Modelinden İletişimsel Demokrasi İdealine: “Nuremberg Mahkemesi” Filmini Retorik Ekseninde Okumak
Authors: CAN MARAŞLI Merve , DEMİR YALEZE Hülya
Published: January 2021

Müzakereci demokrasi modeline göre, konuşma esnasında sadece savlar
değerlendirilmekte ve sav tartışılırken kimlik, cinsiyet, görünüş, konuşma üslubu, jest
ve mimikler gibi ögeler dikkate alınmamaktadır. Oysa dinleyiciler için göz ardı edilemez
olan bu ögeler, konuşmacıya karşı duyulan samimiyet, inanç, ikna duygularını etkiler.
Bundan hareketle Young, müzakereci demokrasinin ötesinde, bu ögelerin de dâhil olduğu
“iletişimsel demokrasi modeli”ni ortaya koymuştur. Bu model içerisinde yer alan en
önemli kavramlardan biri ise retoriktir. Bu çalışmada, doğası gereği savların ön planda
olması beklenen bir kamusal alan olan mahkeme mekânları ve burada kullanılan adlî
retorik ögeleri incelenmektedir. 1961 yapımı Nuremberg Mahkemesi filminin örneklem
olarak ele alındığı çalışmada, Young’ın yeni bir bakış açısı olarak geliştirdiği “iletişimsel
demokrasi modeli” ile Cicero’nun “Retoriğin Beş Kanonu” olarak bölümlendirdiği
adlî retorik ögeleri bağdaştırılmaktadır. Eleştirel-retoriksel film analizi yöntemiyle
incelenen filmde, duruşma sahneleri esas alınarak, iddia ve savunma makamlarının
konuşmalarındaki retorik ögeleri analiz edilmektedir. Filmin, savların ön planda olduğu
ve en akılcı kanıtların sunulduğu müzakereci demokrasi görünümü kazanan sahnelerinde
dahi, açık veya örtük şekilde adlî retorik ögelerinin kullanıldığı ortaya konulmuştur.
DIRECTIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INSTITUTE OF OBLIGATORY STATE SOCIAL INSURANCE AGAINST ACCIDENTS AT WORK AND OCCUPATIONAL DISEASES
Authors: Pohorielova O.
Published: January 2021

The article covers issues related to compulsory state social insurance, which is one of the mechanisms for ensuring health of employees in the course of their work. In his article the author states that accidents and occupational diseases are one of the biggest threats to the health of the working population of Ukraine. The author of the article emphasizes the need to reorient the institution of compulsory state social insurance to strengthen prevention of accidents and occupational diseases, which, accordingly, has lower economic costs than compensation for workers who have suffered any health damage. He also emphasizes the need to finance preventive measures by the Social Insurance Fund, which is not currently implemented.

The article emphasizes importance of updating the list of occupational diseases that occur due to occurrence of modern harmful production factors that harm health of the employees. Currently the list of occupational diseases approved by Ukraine is missing the modern production factors related to digital technologies and psychological risks that are the causes of occupational diseases of the employees.

The author also states establishment of the same number of social contributions without taking into account working conditions as another shortcoming of the legislation in the field of compulsory social insurance. The author emphasizes the need to establish occupational risk classes, according to which contributions to the compulsory state social insurance should be paid, which will depend on the occurrence of harmful and dangerous factors in the workplace, number of accidents and occupational diseases. In this regard, the author suggests providing a system of motivation of employers, which provides for the possibility of employers to pay lower contributions in connection with creation of favorable working conditions and reduce accidents and occupational diseases.

Authors: VRK Rao
Published: January 2021

While coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) predominantly involves the respiratory system, it is increasingly recognized that the infection is not restricted to pulmonary system only but other organs are also affected to varying degrees of severity. Gastrointestinal, neurological and cardiac manifestations are reported in addition to dysfunction of hepatic, renal, hematological systems. The wide range of clinical presentations involving multiple organ systems necessitate investigating the causal and association factors of COVID-19 infection. Prompt recognition of the symptoms is necessary for selection of appropriate diagnostic methods and confirmatory tests to reduce delay in initiating the therapy. This manuscript aims to review the spectrum of clinical and imaging aspects of gastrointestinal and thrombo embolic manifestations of COVID-19.

Gastrointestinal Tract Symptomatology in Adults with Pica and Autism
Authors: Alexander D.D. , Lunde S.E. , Berger D.E.
Published: January 2021

This study investigated pica behavior in those with and without autism in relation to gastrointestinal (GI) tract symptomatology and disease. A chart review of 64 residential adults with developmental disabilities indicated that individuals with pica had more GI tract diseases, and those with autism and pica had a higher rate of GI diseases compared to those with autism and no pica behavior. These data suggest that individuals with both autism and pica disorders may be a phenotypic subgroup in the autistic spectrum characterized by GI symptomatology, requiring a clinical algorithm for categorization and effective treatment. A behavior-analytic model is presented that conceptualizes pica as part of a chain of events that begins with exploratory behavior and culminates in GI symptomatology and disease. Issues of sensory processing are addressed within this model. Individuals exhibiting pica may benefit from gastrointestinal evaluation, including assessment of the microbiome, and, if indicated, microbiota transfer therapy to

Published: January 2021

The special way of understanding the world and the brain mechanisms of cognitive impairment in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are becoming the core topics in the autism research. The article presents a study of the general characteristics of attention in children of primary school age with ASD using instruments aimed at detecting impairments of attention parameters: Schulte Tables, Go/No Go Task, Kraepelin’s Arithmetic Test, Stroop Test used to study the focus of attention in the context of the interference of verbal and object stimuli. Results of study of attention in children with ASD seemed to be ambivalent. Children with ASD are successful in performing the Schulte Tables; on the contrary, the Go/No Go Task shows the difficulties of performing the tasks and inhibition of dominant response. Different degrees of unstable focus of attention in tasks on visual perception also shown. The features of focusing attention in conditions of interference require further research. Preliminary results showed that the focus of attention in younger schoolchildren with ASD is associated with a preference for verbal rather than object characteristics of visual stimuli.

Published: January 2021

The cross-over effect of the influence of the hypoxic environment and physical activity, designated as “cross-adaptation”, on the health promotion of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) was investigated. A model has been developed for correcting the health of children with ASD on the basis of systematic seasonal 10-day physical training courses in a natural moderately hypoxic environment. Systematic health improvement courses with the use of special physical exercises in conditions of natural mountain hypoxia develop cellular and humoral mechanisms of immune responses, increase immunity, improve the physical and psycho-emotional state of children. Among 50 young and adolescent children diagnosed with ASD, after 4 10-day health improvement courses during the year, 20% of young children and 80% of adolescents showed an increase in the activity of cellular and humoral immunity. The proposed model for correcting the health of children with ASD is a promising universal non-drug way to increase immunity, stimulate the processes of adaptation and socialization of children with ASD. In the opinion of parents, after health improvement courses, many children have a desire to communicate with both parents and other children.

Published: January 2021

The study shows the influence of education and feedback on the development of the competencies of parents supervising the distance learning of children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) in the online kindergarten format. The paper presents materials of an empirical study involving five mothers and nurses accompanying children. The measurements of the three competencies of parents as tutors were carried out within one month and were made before and after teaching the parents the basics of ABA (applied behavior analysis) methods. We used the methodology of teaching parents behavioral skills BST (behavioral skills training). Parental training resulted in changes of parental competencies showing as improvements of percent ratios of correct reactions to a total number of samples regarding three critical competencies of parents as tutors: providing reinforcements, prompts, maintaining requests of children. It was found that trained parents of children with ASD are more effective at improving skills of their children than before training. Collaboration with families of children with ASD and the adaptation of parental education help families to be more successful in their daily work with their children, acquire new skills, and improve the quality of life of their families.

Published: January 2021

Objective. To establish the features of epidemiology and clinical manifestations of congenital malformations of the urinary system in the zone of environmental distress.

Material and methods. We analyzed the overall prevalence of nephropathies and the proportion of congenital malformations of the urinary system in the dynamics from 2001 to 2019; 697 patients aged 118 years were examined with assessment of clinical and anamnestic, laboratory, instrumental and radiological data in accordance with diagnostic standards and protocols. We studied the features of epidemiology and clinical manifestations of congenital kidney and urinary tract diseases in an area with an unfavorable environmental situation.

Results. Over the past 2 decades, the general prevalence of nephropathies in the children's population has increased with an elevation in the proportion of congenital malformations of the urinary system. These indicators are significantly higher in an area with a high level of anthropogenic environmental pollution than in an area with a relatively favorable environmental situation. Features of congenital pathology of the kidneys and urinary tract in patients living in an environmentally unfavorable zone were revealed: the presence of mass deficiency, reduced resistance, combination with undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia syndrome, more frequent attachment of microbial-inflammatory process, decreased concentration and evacuation function of the kidneys.

Conclusions. These features of epidemiology and clinical manifestations of congenital malformations of the urinary system in patients living in a region with a high level of environmental pollution should be taken into account when carrying out their medical support.

Published: January 2021

The process of growing a family of reaper ants Messor muticus (Nylander, 1849) in a test tube incubator according to the method proposed by G.M. Dlussky and M.P. Bukin (1986) considers its structure and principle of operation. The queens were captured during the flight and identified in accordance with the phylogenetic analysis of F. Steiner. The test ant colonies were divided into 3 experimental and one control groups. The main factors influencing the polygyny development of ant colonies, such as nest size and temperature are considered. The features of the destructive behavior of worker ants and their participation in the regulation of oviparous queens number in the family, as well as the influence of pheromone activity on the relationship between workers and reproductive individuals are described. The main goal of the experiment was to confirm the theory of the effect of nest size and temperature on the development of dimatological colonies of a species with a monogyny family structure. The experiment was carried out for 71 days, observations were recorded every week, the results were summed up on the 8th and 10th weeks of the experiment. The conclusion confirms the theoretical assumptions about the influence of temperature and the size of the primary nest on the development of polygynous colonies of reaper ants Messor muticus. The data obtained can serve as a basis for further study of polygyny in ant colonies, ants behavior in an unnatural habitat and the existence of ants under controlled conditions.

Published: January 2021

A study of the species composition of birds at the Nizhneangarsk airport (Northern Baikal, Buryatia) and the adjacent territories within a radius of 15 km was carried out. A wide variety of landscapes and biotopes determines a relatively rich species and ecological diversity of birds. 145 species were identified; the majority of them belong to the order of Passeriformes (41,3%), Charadriiformes (19,2%), Anseriformes (11,7%) and Falconiformes (6,3%), the share of other orders is small (no more than 4%). 39 bird species were recorded in the central area around the airport within a 2 km radius. The rock dove, waxwing, magpie, house and field sparrows are common among them. 144 bird species have been recorded in the area adjacent to the airport (radius 15 km). The largest concentration of wetland bird species is observed in the Verkhneangarsk sor (bay) of Lake Baikal. Cormorants, gulls and ducks are numerous here. Among the birds there are quite a few species that form large flocks and colonies, as well as species feeding in the air and soaring high above the ground. Nizhneangarsk airport in terms of aircraft flight safety is located in an area of increased risk of collision with birds. This circumstance provides for strengthening the work of the ornithological service of this airport.

Published: January 2021

The paper studies a spatial ontogenetic structure of natural coenopopulations of ten species from the family Ranunculaceae: Adonanthe vernalis (L.) Spach, A. volgensis (Steven ex DC.) Chrtek et Slavkov, Anemonoides altaica (C.A. Mey.) Holub, A. korshinskyi Saksonov et Rakov, Clematis integrifolia L., Delphinium subcuneatum Tzvelev, Pulsatilla patens (L.) Mill., Ranunculus polyphyllus Waldst. et Kit. ex Willd., R. polyrhizos Stephan and Trollius europaeus L., growing in Samara Region and listed in the regional Red Data Book. It was revealed that the demographic indicators of the studied species populations have low values, indicating their weak ability to maintain and increase the number. The highest capacity for self-healing and self-maintenance is typical for Trollius europaeus, Anemonoides korshinskyi, Adonanthe vernalis, A. volgensis, Anemonoides altaica, the lowest for Clematis integrifolia, Pulsatilla patens, Ranunculus polyrphyllus and R. polyrhizos for most species, with an increase in anthropogenic load on habitats, the indices of replacement and recovery of coenopopulations decrease by 2550%, with the exception of Ranunculus polyphyllus, in which these indices increase by about five times. The features of the spatial ontogenetic structure of populations were used to assess their current state according to the criteria and categories of the IUCN Red List. The most vulnerable at the regional level were the endemic species Anemonoides korshinskyi and Delphinium subcuneatum, as well as Ranunculus polyphyllus and R. polyrhizos (category CR critically endangered). Anemonoides altaica and Clematis integrifolia correspond to the EN category endangered. Vulnerable species (category VU) include Trollius europaeus. Adonanthe vernalis, A. volgensis and Pulsatilla patens ranked in the LC category of least concern.
The limiting factors for the snow leopard (Panthera uncia Shreber, 1776) on the territory of Tuva
Authors: Kuksin Aleksandr Nikolaevich
Published: January 2021

The paper presents the influence of limiting factors for the population of the snow leopard on the territory of Tuva (Republic of Tuva, Russia). It describes biotic, abiotic and anthropogenic factors to irbis. The author examines the role and degree of each factor of this influence. The paper represents literature sources and the authors field research work data for the period 20012019. The study was carried out on the territory of the Chikhacheva, Tsagan-Shibetu, Shapshalskiy Ranges and Sangilen Highlands, that are permanent habitats for the snow leopard. On the studied territories the anthropogenic influence such as hunting, extension of highways, cattle farms and the number of livestock increases in the high mountain ecosystems. All this leads to an increase of disturbance factor, a displacement from traditional habitats of wild animals, especially the irbis food items, so it is forcing the snow leopard to rely more on livestock for food. As a result the cattle breeders sometimes kill snow leopards in retaliation for attacking their livestock. The paper demonstrates data of all known incidents of the snow leopard death and finds of cadavers within the studied region which shows that 74% of all incidents are the fault of people for destroying this rare animal. So it proves that the anthropogenic factor plays a leading role in the death of snow leopard among others.

Keywords: irbis; snow leopard; ecology; Tuva; Republic of Tuva; limiting factors; biotic factors; abiotic factors; anthropogenic factors; disturbance factor; causes of death of irbis; diseases of irbis; competitors of irbis; snow leopard attacks on livestock.

Published: January 2021

T-shaped antler axes are widely represented in Western Europe, both by occasional findings and materials from well researched settlements. This type of axe is most often found on the Ertebelle culture sites in Denmark and on the northern coast of Germany. Products of this type are also known in the context of the Late Mesolithic and Early Neolithic settlements in the Netherlands, Luxembourg and Belgium. At the time of writing, 21 T-shaped antler axes are known in Belarus, as well as their production waste. The tools come from 11 locations. All locations are situated in western Belarus, in the basins of the Western Bug and Neman rivers. The presented artefacts have been found accidentally in river channels or in the coastal, often flooded zone. The locations do not have a clearly defined cultural and chronological context. In the location of Mikhnevichi, a few specific axe production wastes of this type have been discovered, indicating the existence of local production of these tools. In this connection, the authors of the study have suggested that there should be a connection between antler T-axes and Neolithic forest cultures of western Belarus. The paper presents the results of a complex analysis of T-shaped antler axes from the territory of Belarus with a detailed description of each artifact. Most of the materials are published for the first time.
Industrial production and administrative resources influence on the environmental situation in the Kuibyshev Region in the 1950s–1970s
Authors: Repinetskiy Aleksandr Ivanovich
Published: January 2021

The paper examines the impact of the accelerated industrial development of the Kuibyshev Region in the 1950s and 1970s on the environmental situation in the region. The activities of defense, petrochemical, and machine-building industries had a negative impact on the quality of atmospheric air and drinking water. This had a negative impact on the health of the urban population. The conflict of interests between the plans of industrial development of the region and the need to preserve its environmental safety is considered. As a rule, the interests of economic development won, and the industrial potential of the region was constantly replenished with new industrial giants, which further worsened the environmental situation. The paper shows that the measures to improve it taken by the regional authorities and sanitary and epidemiological structures did not always lead to the desired results, since the interests of the industry leaders focused on the implementation of the planned tasks, while the interests of the population receded into the background. This led to the fact that the funds aimed at the environmental situation improvement were not fully developed. At the same time, the understanding of the enormous harm caused to the nature of the region by harmful industries forced the regional authorities to more actively defend its environmental safety.

Modeling the assessment of the quality of students’ professional competencies development
Authors: Makarov Sergey Ivanovich
Published: January 2021

Vocational training of specialists in various fields is aimed at development of a complex of qualities and competencies necessary for future professional activities. The list of professional and general competencies is regulated by the State educational standard. The assessment of the level of competencies development is a measure of the quality of graduate training. The assessment of the quality of competencies development is a measure of the effectiveness of the educational institution work and its structural divisions. It is necessary for internal and external monitoring, adjustment of the pedagogical process and rating. This determines the importance of reliable and informative analysis of how developing factors influence the final result of training. The paper proposes an analytical method for determining the weight coefficient of each developing factor in the overall assessment of the level of professional competencies development. The possibility of its use in the analysis of learning problems at individual and group levels is substantiated. It is proposed to use a matrix of information representation and elements of matrix and vector analysis for processing statistical data. The author has developed a mathematical model that describes a complex process of professional competencies development in higher education institutions. Developing factors in this model are university departments. The possibilities of using the model are discussed. The ways of eliminating the problem of matrices dimensions mismatch when solving matrix equations are indicated. The paper contains examples of the proposed model use in other aspects of the education quality study. A method for determining the integral indicator of the quality of training in all disciplines is proposed. The main conclusions and results of the research can be used directly in the educational process, in the field of education management and in methodical work.

If Not Brittle: Ductile, Plastic, or Viscous?
Authors: Wang Kelin
Published: January 2021

Integrating earthquake studies with geodynamics requires knowledge of different modes of permanent deformation of rocks beyond seismic failure. However, upon stepping out of the realm of brittle failure, students find themselves in a zone of terminology conflict. Rocks below the brittle shallow part of the lithosphere are said to be ductile, plastic, or viscous, yet in many papers what is obviously brittle deformation is said to be plastic. In this EduQuakes article, I explain the origin of this conflict and how to handle it. The primary reason for the conflict is that the word plastic is used by one research community to describe viscous deformation but by another community to describe permanent deformation that is not viscous. To the former community, emphasis is on microscopic deformation mechanisms. To the latter community, emphasis is on whether the macroscopic deformation is time dependent. Using a Coulomb continuum to approximate the effects of numerous brittle faults adds another level of complexity. It is futile to expect a unification of terminology any time soon, but with some basic knowledge one can live with this situation without suffering scientific confusion.
Orientations of Broadband Stations of the KOERI Seismic Network (Turkey) from Two Independent Methods: P- and Rayleigh-Wave Polarization
Authors: Büyükakpınar Pınar , Aktar Mustafa , Maria Petersen Gesa , Köseoğlu Ayşegül
Published: January 2021

The correct orientation of seismic sensors is critical for studies such as full moment tensor inversion, receiver function analysis, and shear-wave splitting. Therefore, the orientation of horizontal components needs to be checked and verified systematically. This study relies on two different waveform-based approaches, to assess the sensor orientations of the broadband network of the Kandilli Observatory and Earthquake Research Institute (KOERI). The network is an important backbone for seismological research in the Eastern Mediterranean Region and provides a comprehensive seismic data set for the North Anatolian fault. In recent years, this region became a worldwide field laboratory for continental transform faults. A systematic survey of the sensor orientations of the entire network, as presented here, facilitates related seismic studies. We apply two independent orientation tests, based on the polarization of P waves and Rayleigh waves to 123 broadband seismic stations, covering a period of 15 yr (2004–2018). For 114 stations, we obtain stable results with both methods. Approximately, 80% of the results agree with each other within 10°. Both methods indicate that about 40% of the stations are misoriented by more than 10°. Among these, 20 stations are misoriented by more than 20°. We observe temporal changes of sensor orientation that coincide with maintenance work or instrument replacement. We provide time-dependent sensor misorientation correction values for the KOERI network in the supplemental material.

Bu çalışmada, sistematik haritalama yoluyla, alanyazında eğitim ve eğitim araştırmaları kategorisinde duygu ve teknolojiyi bir arada ele alan araştırma makalelerinin, ‘duygunun tanımı’, ‘temel alınan kuramsal çerçeve,’ ‘teknolojinin ele alındığı bağlamla’ ilgili olarak analiz edilmesi; böylece, bir yandan var olan durumun betimlenmesi, bir yandan da araştırmaların nereye doğru evrildiğinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada 2015 - 2019 yılları arasında SSCI indeksinde taranan dergilerde yayınlanmış olan ve belirlenmiş ölçütlere uyan 75 araştırma makalesi analiz edilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda araştırmaların demografik özellikleri ile ilgili olarak; en fazla yükseköğretim düzeyinde ve lisans ile lisansüstü öğrencilerle çalışıldığı; verilerin, öz bildirime dayalı ölçek ve anket ile toplandığı, bazı çalışmalarda birden fazla veri toplama yaklaşımının kullandığı belirlenmiştir. 75 makalenin 59’unda duygu ile ilgili tanımlara yer verilmediği, 55’inde duygu konusunda herhangi bir kuramsal çerçevenin temel alınmadığı, teknolojinin en çok çevrimiçi öğrenme bağlamında ele alındığı ortaya çıkmıştır. Analiz edilen araştırmalarda duygu ile ilgili operasyonel tanımların eksikliği, araştırmacının duyguya olan yaklaşımının ve araştırma sürecini yürütme perspektifinin anlaşılmasında sınırlılığı beraberinde getirmektedir. Oysa yapılan çalışmalarda kuramsal bir çerçeveden hareket edilmesinin, ilişkileri içeren mekanizmaların anlaşılması için bir zemin oluşturacağı ileri sürülebilir. Bu durum, eğitsel bağlamda duygu ve teknoloji konusunda yapılacak çalışmalar için önceliğin nerede olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Sonuç olarak eğitsel bağlamda duygu ve teknoloji üzerine yapılması planlanan araştırmalarda, araştırmacının perspektifini işlevsel tanımlamalar, modeller ve temel aldığı kuramsal çerçeve üzerinden ortaya koymasına gereksinim olduğu ifade edilebilir.

PARTICIPATION OF WOMEN IN POLITICAL INSTITUTIONS OF POST-SOVIET COUNTRIES: EXPERIENCE OF CENTRAL ASIAN COUNTRIES
Authors: Lebedeva M. , Stolyarova S.
Published: January 2021

After the disintegration of the USSR, the Central Asian countries started to pursue independent development strategies and identified new domestic policy priorities. It is of special scholarly interest to compare the efforts by Central Asian governments to improve female representation in politics. The article is devoted to the consideration of state policies and measures aimed at increasing the participation of women in political institutions in Central Asia. The most and the least effective strategies for women's political empowerment were highlighted based on the analysis of the regulatory framework in the field of women's empowerment, as well as on the degree of application of gender statistics and gender budgeting. In particular, the authors address the matter of electoral gender quotas, which are already introduced by Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. It is stressed that the adoption of this policy tool in the two counties has had its limitations, taking into consideration the existence of legal ways to circumvent the gender-quota requirements. The authors also indicate Kazakhstan’s progress in collecting gender data that is “open, accessible, comparable, free and understandable”. Improving data quality and representativeness facilitates the development of practical steps to achieve gender equality in politics. At the same time, theьauthors point out a negative trend in the region: some countries are gradually moving away from having aьdistinct strategy pertaining to genderьissues. Such approach may shift the focus from closing the gender gap to solving a wider range of social policy issues. The article shows that in general the countries in question implement a conservative gender policy and are not inclined to fully effect such practices as gender budgeting and the collection of relevant and complete gender statistics. It is concluded that Russia has an opportunity to act as a trendsetter, in particular by applying a gender-sensitive approach in providing development assistance to the countries of Central Asia.
¿Por qué comparar? Propósitos y desafíos del derecho constitucional comparado en el siglo XXI
Authors: Collazos María Dolores
Published: January 2021

Comparative Constitutionalism has emerged in the aftermath of the Cold War as an important tool for democratic transitions and peacebuilding. However, the traditional approaches to comparative law don’t provide plausible explanations for new phenomena such as globalization and cross-court dialogue. Despite the resurgence of the field, Comparative Constitutionalism struggles with questions related to case selection and the ambivalence toward social sciences. This article captures the basic debate on the purposes and challenges of modern Comparative Constitutional Law. The principal idea is that the study of constitutionalism ought to embrace social sciences in order to construct a pluralist Comparative Constitutional Law.
Meta-Fiction, Parody, and The [Basque] Apocalypse Revealed to All
Authors: Ariznabarreta Larraitz
Published: January 2021

The literary and cultural scholar Joseba Gabilondo has exerted considerable influence on the
field of Basque and Iberian Literary Studies. His scholarly work often generating attention for
his opinions expressed about canonical Basque Literature and authors. This article returns to
his publication of Apokalipsia guztioi erakutsia. Although the book obtained
the "Erein Narratiba" award in 2009, the collection gained no scholarly attention and hardly
received any critical reviews. But recent changes have occasioned a second look, an in-depth
critical reading, that seems timelier than ever. The literary scholar Gabilondo would, of
course, agree; since, as he conceded to Gorka Erostarbe in a recent interview concerning,
among other issues, the Covid-19 pandemic: "Our new horizon is not history, but apocalypse".
Gabilondo fictionally scaffolds his reflections on issues that have long concerned him as an
intellectual and have occupied most, if not all, of his scholarly work. The lack of worldliness
and roundness of his fictional proposal in favor of a literature-of-ideas does
not do away with the overwhelming impression the reader is left with. Indeed, we have been the
recipients of a shrewd revelation. Admittedly, a revelation that twinges the reader who shares
the author's fears.

Objective: Available studies support the occurrence of a bidirectional association between obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) and cardiovascular disorders. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the plasma ghrelin, omentin–1 levels, insulin resistance (IR) in patients with OSAS, and its cardiovascular consequences.

Methods: This study was performed on 150 individuals who applied to the sleep laboratory with complaints such as snoring and sleep-breathing pause. Polysomnographic (PSG) evaluation was applied to every patient. Seventy-five individuals with Apnea-Hypopnea Index (AHI) ≥5 were diagnosed as OSAS and seventy-five individuals with AHI<5 were included as the without OSAS.

Results: The median omentin-1 level was 59.0 ng/mL in the OSAS group and 105.0 ng/mL in without OSAS (p<0.001). The median ghrelin level in the OSAS group was 229.0 pg/ml and 180.0 pg/ml in the without OSAS group (p<0.001). The prevalence of OSAS was 2.667 times higher in males than females (OR=2.667). HOMA-IR scores were not different between OSAS and without OSAS groups (p=0.218). Patients with OSAS had higher BMI, neck circumference, and median ESS values compared to those without OSAS group (p<0.001). In obese, the risk of OSAS was found 3.058 times higher (OR= 3.058) (p<0.001).

Conclusions: Median omentin-1 level was lower in the OSAS group than the without OSAS group, whereas median ghrelin level was higher in the OSAS and obese individuals. Due to the high prevalence of OSAS in hypertensive and obese individuals, effective screening, diagnosis, and treatment of OSAS are required to reduce cardiovascular risk.

Published: January 2021

Abstract: Hemangioma of the thyroid gland is a rare diagnosis and less than 35 cases have been previously published in the literature. The pathogenesis is unknown but it is suggested to be a developmental anomaly which is associated with an incapability of angioblastic mesenchyma to form canals. On microscopic examination, it should be distinguished from reactive endothelial hyperplasia, angiosarcoma or hemangiosarcoma. We report a case of a primary thyroid hemangioma, with nonspesific US appearance. Cytologic findings were nondiagnostic and final diagnosis was made at pathologic examination of the hemithyroidectomy specimen.
