Media pendidikan atau pembelajaran adalah suatu benda yang  dapat  diindrai,  khususnya  penglihatan  dan pendengaran, baik yang terdapat di dalam maupun di luar kelas,  yang  digunakan  sebagai  alat  bantu  penghubung (media  komunikasi)  dalam  proses  interaksi  belajar mengajar  untuk  meningkatkan  efektivitas  hasil  belajar siswa.  Menurut  Asnawir  dan  Basyiruddin  Usman  dalam bukunya  yang  berjudul  “media  pembelajaran” menjelaskan  bahwa  media  merupakan  sesuatu  yang bersifat menyalurkan pesan dan dapat merangsang pikiran, perasaan,  dan  kemauan  audien  (siswa)  sehinga  dapat mendorong  terjadinya proses belajar pada dirinya. Selain itu  apabila  media  dipahami  secara  garis  besar  adalah manusia, materi, atau kejadian yang membangun kondisi yang  membuat  siswa  mampu  memperoleh  pengetahuan, keterampilan, atau sikap. Secara lebih khusus, pengertian media dalam proses belajar mengajar cenderung diartikan sebagai alat-alat grafis, photografis, atau elektronis untuk menangkap, memproses, dan menyusun kembali informasi visual  atau  verbal.Jadi,  yang  dimaksud  dengan  media pendidikan adalah alat, metode, dan tehnik yang digunakan dalam  rangka  lebih  mengekfektifkan  komunikasi  dan interaksi  antara  pendidik  dan  anak  didik  dalam  proses pendidikan  dan  pengajaran  di  sekolah.  Fungsi  utama media pembelajaran adalah sebagai alat bantu mengajar yang  turut  mempengaruhi  iklim,  kondisi,  dan  lingkungan belajar  yang  ditata  dan  diciptakan  oleh  pendidik. pemakaian  media  pembelajaran  dalam  proses  belajar mengajar dapat membangkitkan keinginan dan minat yang baru,  membangkitkan  motivasi  dan  rangsangan  kegiatanbelajar,  dan  bahkan  membawa  pengaruh-pengaruh psikologis terhadap siswa.

Peningkatan Profesionalisme kepemimpinan kepala sekolah harus dilakukan melalui suatu strategi perbaikan mutu yang diharapkan dapat mengatasi masalah rendahnya mutu pendidikan dan dapat mengoptimalkan segala sumber daya yang terdapat di sekolah. Upaya peningkatan profesionalisme kepala sekolah merupakan proses keseluruhan dan bagian dari organisasi sekolah serta harus dilakukan secara berkesinambungan karena perubahan yang terjadi selalu dinamis serta tidak bisa diprediksi sehingga kepala sekolah maupun tenaga kependidikan harus selalu siap dihadapkan pada kondisi perubahan. Dalam perubahan peningkatan profesional kepala sekolah harus ada pihak yang berperan dalam peningkatan mutu tersebut. Dan yang berperan dalam peningkatan profesional kepala sekolah adalah pengawas sekolah yang juga merupakan pemimpin pendidikan yang bersama-sama kepala sekolah memiliki tanggung jawab terhadap perkembangan sekolah. Upaya peningkatan keprofesionalan kepala sekolah tidak akan terwujud begitu saja tanpa adanya motivasi dan adanya kesadaran dari dalam diri kepala sekolah tersebut serta semangat mengabdi yang akan melahirkan visi kelembagaan maupun kemampuan konsepsional yang jelas
İskenderiye Okulu ve Tıbbî Mantıkî Gelenek
Authors: KAYACIK Ahmet
Published: October 2018

İslam
dünyasında felsefî düşüncenin gelişmesine altyapı oluşturan etkenlerden biri de
Helenik okullardır. Bunları İskenderiye, Antakya, Harran, Bağdat ve Cündşapur
vd. olarak sıralamak mümkündür. Atina okulunun kapanmasının ardından kurulan İskenderiye
Okulu, Müslümanların oraya komşu olmasıyla Yunan bilim ve felsefesinin İslam
dünyasına geçişi ve öğrenilmesinde etkin bir role sahip olmuştur. Buradaki
eğitim tarzı, Atina okulu eğitim geleneğinin devamı olmuş ve daha çok
metinlerin yorumlanması üzerine olmuştur. Bu yöntem daha sonraki Süryani okullarda
da devam ederek İslam toplumuna geçmiş ve felsefe metinlerinin anlaşılmasında
önemli katkılar sağlamıştır. Bu okulun bir üyesi olmamakla beraber, buradaki
eğitim sistemi ya da müfredatında önemli bir konuya dikkat çeken Galen, daha
sonraları takip edilen bir geleneğin de başlatıcısı olmuştur. Bu geleneğe
“Tıbbî-Mantıkî” veya “Tıbbî-Felsefî” gelenek denilmiştir. Çünkü bu okulda
eğitim alan tıp öğrencileri kendi eğitimlerinde faydalı olsun diye, zorunlu
olarak felsefe dersleri de almışlardır ki, bu içerikler Aristo’nun mantık
kitaplarının ilk dördünü oluşturmaktadır. Filozof-doktor diye anılan bir unvan
da bu sebeple ortaya çıkmıştır. İslam dünyasındaki mantık ilminin gelişimi ile
bu gelenek arasında doğrudan bir bağlantı kurulur ve mantık eğitimi tıpla
beraber bağlantılı olarak devam ettiği sürece mantık çalışmaları ilerleme
kaydederken,  bu bağlantı kesilip başka
ilim dallarıyla birlikte ele alındığında ise bir devam sağlanmakla birlikte,
ilerleme değil de gerileme olmuştur iddiası ortaya atılır.

İbn Teymiye’nin Vücûh ve Nezâir Tanımının Etkileri ve Sorunları
Authors: KARAGÖZ Mustafa
Published: October 2018

Bugünkü
bilgimize göre vücûh ve nezâir terimleriyle ilgili ilk tanımı İbnü’l-Cevzî
yapmıştır. İbnü’l-Cevzî vücûh-nezâiri “bir kelimeden Kur’an’ın farklı
yerlerinde farklı anlamların kastedilmesi” olarak tarif etmiş, ayrıca “vücûhun
manaların, nezâirin lafızların adı olduğunu” belirtmiştir. Bu tanımın
vücûh ve nezâir kitaplarının muhtevasının müşterek lafızlarla sınırlandırılmasına
yol açtığını belirten İbn Teymiye, İbnü’l-Cevzî’nin tarifini eleştirmiştir. İbn
Teymiye, söz konusu kitapların sadece müşterek lafızlarla ilgili olmadığını, bu
kitaplarda müşterek lafızların yanı sıra mütevâtı lafızların da bulunduğunu belirtmiştir.
Vücûhun müşterek lafızlarda, nezâirin mütevâtı lafızlarda bulunduğunu söyleyen
İbn Teymiye, bugünkü bilgimize göre vücûh ve nezâirin tarifinde müşterek ve
mütevâtı terimlerini kullanan ilk kişidir.

İbnü’l-Cevzî’ye
yönelttiği eleştiride İbn Teymiye haklı olmakla birlikte, kendi yaptığı tanım da
çeşitli sorunlar içermektedir. Bu tarifin en önemli sorunu, vücûh ve nezâir
literatürünün muhtevasıyla birebir örtüşmeyen “müşterek” ve “mütevâtı”
terimlerini tanıma ithal etmesidir. Zira vücûh ve nezâir alanındaki eserlerde
geçen vecih/vücûh tabirinin lafz-ı müşterekle, nazîr/nezâir tabirinin de lafz-ı
mütevâtı ile birebir örtüşmediği görülmektedir. İlaveten İbn Teymiye’nin nezâir
tarifinde kullandığı “elfâz-ı mütevâtıe”nin, vücûh ve nezâir literatüründe
nezâir karşılığında değil, vücûh karşılığında kullanılması İbn Teymiye’nin
vücûh-nezâir anlayışının bir diğer sorundur. Vücûh ve nezâir kitaplarında yer
alan maddelerin, her zaman homojen bir şekilde lafz-ı müşterek ya da lafz-ı
mütevâtı kategorisine girmemesi, onun yaptığı tanımın bu kitaplardaki muhteva
açısından kapsayıcı olmadığının bir diğer göstergesidir. Bu makalede İbn
Teymiye’nin vücûh ve nezâir tarifinin etkileri ve yol açtığı sorunlar üzerinde
durulacaktır.
Saçaklızâde Mehmed Efendi’nin (v. 1145/1732) İlimlere Bakışı: Tertîbü’l-‘Ulûm Bağlamında Bir İnceleme
Authors: APAYDIN Yasin
Published: October 2018

Müslüman düşünürler kendi dönemlerine gelinceye
kadar ortaya konan ilim anlayışlarını ilimler tasnifine tahsis ettikleri
eserlerde ele almışlardır. Bu eserler, onların ilimleri belirli ölçütleri
dikkate alarak tasnif çabaları görülebileceği gibi bu düşünürlerin ilim
anlayışları ve ilimler arası hiyerarşiye dair fikirlerini de ihtiva etmektedir.
Bu düşünürler arasında Saçaklızâde Mehmed Efendi’nin Tertîbü’l-‘ulûm
adını verdiği eseri, onun genel bir ilimler tasnifi anlayışını ortaya koyması
yanında kendi düşüncesi içerisinde ilimlere bakışına dair önemli bilgiler
sunmaktadır. Özellikle felsefî ilimlere dair içerdiği yargılar bağlamında onun
ilim anlayışına dair birtakım sonuçlara ulaşmak mümkündür. Bu çalışma,
zikredilen eser bağlamında Saçaklızâde’nin ilimlere bakışını ve bu bakış
açısının bir sonucu olarak felsefî ilimlere dair mülahazalarını ortaya koymayı
hedeflemektedir.
Hayatı Anlamlandırma İle Kişilik Özellikleri Arasındaki İlişki Üzerine
Authors: ULU Mustafa
Published: October 2018

Anlam arayışı, II. Dünya Savaşı'nın da etkisiyle 1950'ler
ve 1960'larda ortaya çıkan hümanist, fenomenolojik, varoluşsal kişilik
kuramlarında yaygın olarak görülen merkezi bir temadır. Özellikle Carl Rogers,
Abraham Maslow, George Kelly ve Rollo May tarafından hayatın anlamına dair
geniş perspektifler sunulmaktadır. Ancak bu alanda en çok tanınan isim,
yayınladığı çalışmalara ek olarak Logoterapi adında bir psikoterapi tekniği de
geliştirmiş olduğu için Viktor E. Frankl'dır. Frankl, anlam arayışının temel
bir insan eğilimi olduğunu ve insan kişiliğinde en esaslı ve en temel motive
edici gücün, içgüdüsel dürtüler ya da öğrenilmiş davranış kalıpları değil,
bireyin varoluşunun anlamını keşfetme arzusu olduğunu savunmuştur.

Bu çalışmada, kişilik
özellikleri ile hayatı anlamlandırma arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığı Kayseri
ilinde iki farklı devlet lisesinde öğrenim gören 238 öğrenciden nicel yöntemle
veri toplanarak incelenmektedir. Katılımcıların %65'ini (n=154) erkekler ve
geri kalan %35'ini (n=84) kadınlar oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmada kişilik
özelliklerinin belirlenmesi için HEXACO
Kişilik Envanteri, hayatın anlam ve amacının belirlenmesinde Hayatın Anlam ve Amacı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır.
Analiz sonuçlarına göre katılımcılar, Hayatın Anlam ve Amacı faktöründe 3,68
(sd.=0,95); Anlamsızlık ve Amaç Yoksunluğu faktöründe 2,68 (sd.=0,99)
ortalamaya sahip olmuşlardır. Kişilik özellikleri açısından en yüksek
ortalamayı Duyarlılık (m=2,89; sd.=,68); en düşük ortalamayı ise
Dürüstlük-Alçakgönüllülük (m=2,54; sd.=,67) faktörlerinden elde etmişlerdir.
t-Testi, Hayatın Anlam ve Amacı'nda kadınların ortalama puanlarının anlamlı
olarak daha yüksek olduğunu; kişilik özellikleri açısından ise
Dürüstlük-Alçakgönüllülük, Duyarlılık, Dışadönüklük faktörlerinde anlamlılık
düzeyinde farklılaşma olduğunu göstermektedir. Korelasyon analizine göre de
faktörlerin neredeyse tamamı ilişki içerisindedir. Regresyon analizi sonucuna
göre kişilik özelliklerinden Deneyime Açıklık (β=-,23; p=,001), Hayatın Anlam

A espécie Sebastiania schottiana Müll. Arg, popularmente conhecida como Sarandi, possui dificuldade para a realização de sua reprodução sexuada, desta forma, a estaquia é um método alternativo utilizado na produção de mudas desta espécie. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar a eficiência da propagação vegetativa por estaquia da espécie S. schottiana. Testou-se a sobrevivência e enraizamento de estacas, a partir de ramos adultos, que foram confeccionadas com cerca de 7 cm de comprimento, utilizando uma concentração de ácido indolbutírico (AIB) de 2000 mg/L. O estaqueamento foi feito em tubetes de polietileno (13,2 cm de altura e 5,2 cm de diâmetro) preenchidos com diferentes substratos em que se subdividiu os tratamentos, sendo eles T1: solo, T2: solo e AIB, T3: areia e AIB e o T4: vermiculita e AIB. Os parâmetros utilizados para avaliação após 45 dias de permanência em casa de vegetação foram: porcentagem de sobrevivência, porcentagem de estacas com brotações e a porcentagem de estacas enraizadas. Os dados foram submetidos ao teste de homogeneidade de variâncias, sendo as médias comparadas pelo teste não paramétrico de Kruskal-Wallis ao nível de 5% de probabilidade. Foi observado que o tratamento T3 (com substrato areia mais AIB) e T2 (com solo mais AIB), obtiveram maior destaque em comparação aos demais favorecendo a propagação vegetativa de S. schottiana.

A agricultura urbana tem crescido nos últimos anos decorrente das mudanças nos hábitos da população. Frente a isso, também evolui a necessidade de desenvolver sistemas de produção compatíveis com essa realidade. O objetivo do trabalho é avaliar os efeitos da capina, roçada e diferentes tipos de cobertura plástica sobre o controle da língua-de-vaca, uma das principais plantas daninhas difíceis de efetuar o controle na produção urbana. Para isso, foi desenvolvido experimento em delineamento experimental em blocos ao acaso, com cinco repetições. O experimento foi realizado em duas fases, sendo que a primeira foi constituída dos seguintes tratamentos: mulching preto, mulching preto com intermitência (aos 30 e 45 dias após a introdução do tratamento, o plástico foi removido temporariamente por 4 horas), mulching transparente, roçada, capina e testemunha; e na segunda fase, a área experimental foi mantida em pousio por 30 dias com intuito de verificar a capacidade de reinfestação da planta daninha. As variáveis avaliadas foram população de planta daninha e massa seca da parte aérea. Os resultados demonstram que especialmente a utilização do mulching apresenta-se com maior capacidade de reduzir a densidade populacional e massa seca de língua-de-vaca, porém a efetividade no controle depende da manutenção contínua no uso dessas estratégias.

Published: October 2018

We revise a quadratic formulation for the maximum diversity problem (MDP). We apply the t-linearization technique and strengthen the resulting constraints. We propose new rules for fixing variables, also translated as valid constraints for the problem. From these ingredients, we propose an exact algorithm for the MDP, based on the branch-and-bound method. Computational results obtained with instances of the literature show that the proposed method is able to solve instances with up to $ 125 $ elements, being more efficient than the best exact algorithm in the literature.

Acne Vulgar no Adulto
Authors: Vieira da Costa Inês , Cardoso da Cunha Velho Glória Maria
Published: October 2018

Introdução: A acne vulgar é uma doença inflamatória crónica da unidade pilossebácea, de etiologia multifatorial. Trata-se de uma das doenças dermatológicas mais comuns. Afeta mais de 85% dos adolescentes, especialmente do género masculino. Apesar de infrequente na idade adulta, dados epidemiológicos recentes mostram uma prevalência crescente, cerca de 40%, predominantemente no género feminino, com impacto negativo na qualidade de vida. A acne do adulto ou acne tardia é uma entidade que está presente após os 25 anos de idade. Classifica-se como acne de início tardio e acne persistente. O tipo persistente é o mais comum, representando 70% a 80% dos casos, e caracteriza-se pela persistência da acne da adolescência, enquanto que a acne de início tardio é definida pela manifestação inaugural após os 25 anos de idade, com uma prevalência de cerca de 20% a 30%.Objetivo: Revisão bibliográfica da literatura científica atual, especialmente focada na fisiopatologia da acne tardia, fatores desencadeantes e agravantes, bem como nas particularidades da sua abordagem terapêutica.Metodologia: Foi utilizada a base de dados MEDLINE-PubMed e foram revistos artigos originais e de revisão bibliográfica publicados entre 2001 e 2017.Discussão: A acne pode ser uma manifestação clínica de doença sistémica, frequentemente endocrinológica, como síndrome do ovário poliquístico, hiperplasia suprarrenal, e tumores secretores virilizantes. É importante considerar estas etiologias, especialmente na mulher e na presença de outros sinais de hiperandrogenismo. Vários estudos apontam outros fatores desencadeantes ou agravantes, nomeadamente fatores genéticos, stress, tabagismo, exposição à radiação ultravioleta, obesidade, dieta hiperglicémica, fármacos, cosméticos, e colonização por estirpes resistentes de Propionibacterium acnes.Conclusão: Na maioria dos casos, a acne do adulto localiza-se na face, tem uma gravidade clínica ligeira a moderada e cursa com níveis hormonais normais. A localização exclusiva no terço inferior da face associa-se mais frequentemente a outros sinais de hiperandrogenismo e a patologia endocrinológica, bem como a um predomínio de lesões inflamatórias. A acne tardia é descrita como potencialmente refratária à terapêutica convencional, sendo muito recidivante. Assim, constitui um desafio terapêutico, que obriga a uma abordagem individualizada.

The paper presents the results of the research conducted on the extensive corpus of press material. The purpose of the research was to show the frequency of references to the American scientific sources in the Polish press, specifically in popular science articles published in the weekly and daily papers. The analysis covered the period of 1975–2005 (and also the year 2015). The frequency of references to U.S. sources has been contrasted with the results on references to other countries (Poland, the former USSR, and Russia, in particular), as well as with the bibliographic data on the sum of citations of academic papers in individual countries. The research was carried out using quantitative methods (content analysis, bibliographic analysis of citations). The obtained results confirm the preference of the Polish popular science discourse for the sources originating from the Western culture, especially from the United States.
Influence of Geometrical Parameters on the DC Analog Behavior of the Asymmetric Self-Cascode FD SOI nMOSFETs
Authors: Assalti Rafael , Flandre Denis , De Souza Michelly
Published: October 2018

This paper assesses the DC analog performance of a composite transistor named Asymmetric Self-Cascode structure, which is formed by two Fully Depleted SOI nMOSFETs connected in series with shortened gates. The influence of geometrical parameters, such as different channel widths and lengths on the transistors at source and drain sides is evaluated through three-dimensional numerical simulations, which have been firstly adjusted to the experimental measurements. The transconductance, output conductance, Early voltage and intrinsic voltage gain have been used as figure of merit to explore the advantages of the composite transistor. From the obtained results, the largest intrinsic voltage gain has been obtained by using longer channel lengths for both transistors, with narrower device close to the source and wider transistor near to the drain.

The current study was designed to evaluate the efficiency of broccoli plant in therapy of PCOS that induced for the first time by testosterone andriol (T.A).

   Forty-eight immature female rats (21 days old) were divided into 6 groups (8 rats each) as follows: G1, animals were injected with sesame oil for 39 cascade days (control). G2, animals were injected with 1mg/100g b.w of T.A for 39 cascade days. G3, animals were injected with 1mg/100g b.w of T.A gathered with gavaged broccoli juice (b.j) for 39 cascade days. G4, animals were injected with sesame oil for cascade 39 days at the end of last injection were gavaged with d.w for 30 cascade days. G5, animals were injected with 1 mg/100g b.w of T.A for 39 cascade days and at the end of last injection were gavaged with d.w for 30 cascade days. G6, animals were injected with 1mg/100g b.w of T.A for 39 days and at the end of the last injection were gavaged with b.j for 30 cascade days. T.A-induced PCOS rats (G2 and G5) in comparison with controls (G1 and G4) exhibited that had a significant (Pâ‰¤0.01) increase in the b.w, ovarian, uterine and fat pads weights as well as the fat cells diameter. Additionally, these groups had acyclicity, high numbers of ovarian cysts, atretic and preantral follicles in the ovaries, lowering the number and the diameter of C.L., and uterine changes. The levels of T, E and LH, an insulin, glucose, LDL, cholesterol in the serum were increased whereas the levels of FSH, LDH were decreased.

   Therefore, T.A PCOS model could be appropriated for studied all the features of syndrome i.e, ovarian, metabolic and endocrinologiccal disturbances. Whereas all these measurements of G3 and G6 were ameliorated and recovered into their normalcy. Our findings have shown the benefit of consuming broccoli in the protection (G3) and prevention (G6) of PCOS.

Published: October 2018

The current study is the identification and isolation dermatophyte species in clinical isolates by both Sabouraudâ€™s Dextrose Agar (SDA) and on Dermatophyte Test Medium (DTM). Clinical specimens of hair, nails and skin scales were collected from patients with dermatophytosis and submitted to direct microscopic examination after immersion in 20% of potassium hydroxide solution. The clinical specimens were cultured on SDA containing chloramphenicol and cycloheximide, and on DTM. Tinea corporis showed the highest prevalent dermatophyte infection among patients (26.7%), followed by Tinea pedis (23.3%), whereas Tinea manuum exhibited the lowest fungal infection (6.7 %). Rural areas revealed the highest prevalence of dermatophyte infection (70.0 %) in comparison to 30.0% in urban areas. Based on the conventional laboratory methods, 30 clinical isolates of dermatophytes showed positive cultures which belong to three genera (Trichophyton, Microsporum and Epidermophyton). Trichophyton mentagrophytes was the most common species (21.7%) isolated among 30 positive dermatophytes, followed by Epidermophyton flocosum (17.4%), then Trichophyton bullosum and Trichophyton tonsurans (13.0%).

Clay minerals in the oil and gas field have changed with an increase of the quantities in the middle of the oil and gas field and reduction in the edges. This reduction is the effect of micro seepage from oil and gas from the subsurface. The aims of the research is to identify the potential oil and gas seepage through clay mineral mapping. The data used where Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS with recording dated September 25, 2015. The method used in the mapping of clay minerals using the ratio of 1.55-1.75 µm (Short Wave Infrared 1) and 2.08-2.35 µm (Short Wave Infrared 2). The result of Landsat 8 OLI/TIRS data processing shows the potential of anomalies in edges of the oil and gas field. The anomaly is a change in the index value of clay minerals that tend to be lower with values 1.0 to 1.5 than the middle of oil and gas field with values 1.5 to 2.0. The potential pattern of the anomaly follows the border of the oil and gas field. Field surveys show that oil and gas field based on grain size analysis is dominated by clay-sized soil. The dominant clay minerals from X-Ray Diffraction analysis are smectite (56%) and kaolinite (6%).ABSTRAKMineral lempung di lapangan migas mengalami perubahan dengan terjadinya peningkatan kandungannya pada tengah lapangan migas dan pengurangan di tepinya.

The aim — to study the diagnostic value of endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)­guided transbronchial biopsy of lung (TBBL) for pulmonary dissemination syndrome.Materials and methods. The results of EBUS TBBL performance in 64 patients with pulmonary dissemination syndrome were analyzed. Among patients, persons of working age predominated — 52 (81.3 %). There were 36 men, 28 women.Results and discussion. The following etiology of pulmonary dissemination was diagnosed by pathohistological examination of lung biopsy samples: sarcoidosis in 24 (37.5 %) cases, tuberculosis in 6 (9.4 %), oncological lesions in 14 (21.9 %), other nosology — in 20 (31.2 %). The information sensitivity of EBUS TBBL was 87.5 %, specificity — 89.4 %, accuracy — 65.6 % with histological examination. When EBUS TBBL was used, a low level of intraoperative and postoperative complications was noted: 7.8 % (4 (6.2 %) cases of traumatic pneumothorax and 1 (1.6 %) minor haemoptysis), small average duration of operative intervention 21.9 ± 0.8 min), which indicates the low invasiveness and safety of EBUS TBBL as a method of establishing the etiology of dissemination.Conclusions. EBUS TBBL is a method of choice, since it is a minimally invasive and least traumatic invasive diagnostic method, does not require a long recovery period after intervention and allows to obtaine the morphological examination samples.

The aim — to improve the surgical treatment results of trans­sphincteric anal fistulas with freeze­dried collagen implant.Materials and methods. 88 patients with trans­sphincteric fistulas of rectum were operated in the of Surgery and Proctology Department from 2012 to 2017. Patients were aged 25 to 65 years old, average age constituted 54.3 ± 2.1 years. Men — 54 (61.3 %), women — 32 (38.7 %). A transanal ultrasound study with complex substance and a circular image sensor (5 — 7.5 MHz) was performed in all patients. 32 patients (36.4 %) had front, 26 (29.5 %) — lateral and 30 (34.1 %) — posterior fistulas, according to the study. Patients were divided into 2 groups depending on the method of surgical treatment. First group comprised 44 patients who were treated with the freeze­dried allogeneic collagen implant by original technic and a comparison group of 44 patients who used traditional surgical treatment methods of rectal fistulas (the fistula excision in the lumen of the gut — in 28 (63.6 %) observations, Seton Placement (ligation) — in 16 (36.4 %)). The effectiveness of operations was assessed by comparing the immediate and long­term results.Results and discussion. 2 patients (4.5 %) in the first group appeared to have wound abscess, 4 (9.1 %) — serous inflammation of operative wound. Anal incontinence was hardly in evidence. The wound healed on 10.0 ± 1.1 day. In the comparison group, local complications were observed in the early postoperative period in the form of wound suppuration in 9 (20.4 %) patients, partial incontinence of gases in 10 (22.7 %), anal incontinence of the first degree in 8 (18.9 %) %), persistent anal incontinence — in 6 (13.6 %). The wound healed on average 24.0 ± 2.1 days. Long­term results of treatment (1 to 24 months) were examined by observation and questioning of 42 patients in the main group and 41 — in comparison groups. Relapse of the disease in the main group occurred in 2 (4.7 %) patients, in the comparison group — in 7 (17.1 %). In the comparison group, stable anal incontinence was also observed in 6 (14.6 %) and partial incontinence in 8 (19.5 %).Conclusions. Surgical treatment of trans­sphincteric fistulas with freeze­dried collagen implant provides ensures reliable closure of the internal fistula opening and helps reduce the relapse rate to 4.7 compared to 17.1 % using traditional techniques.

The aim — to study the features of the clinical course of abscesses and soft tissue phlegmon in HIV‑infected patients.Materials and methods. The clinical course analysis of the abscesses and soft tissues phlegmon in 90 HIV‑infected patients (main group) who were on treatment at the Surgery and Proctology Department for the period from 2013 to 2017 was done. The comparison group consisted of 90 patients with abscesses and soft tissues phlegmon without concomitant HIV infection. The average age of patients was 31.0 ± 1.2 years. The abscesses and phlegmons localization were shoulder, forearm, gluteal region, inguinal region, thigh, shin. Clinical criteria, such as the fever response expression and purulent discharge duration, wound cleansing term were used to evaluate the clinical course of the postoperative period. Immunological status of patients was also investigated.Results and discussion. When analyzing the clinical picture, it was found that after the opening of the abscess and adequate drainage, the duration and severity of fever response expression, the purulent discharge from the wound and the time of wound clearance compared to those without HIV infection were statistically significantly higher in patients with HIV infection. In patients with HIV infection, a marked change in immunoregulation in favor of the predominance of T‑suppressors and a decrease in the number of T‑helpers revealed. Therefore, immunocorrection with retroviral drugs in accordance with existing protocols is indicated to these patients.Conclusions. The clinical course of abscesses and phlegmon in HIV‑infected patients compared with a group of patients without HIV infection is characterized by longer periods of purulent discharge and wound cleansing, hospital stay, especially in HIV‑infection of III — IV stages, which is confirmed by immunologic disorders, level of T‑helpers, requires a longer and more intensive both general and local treatment in combination with retroviral therapy.
Research and significance on the Korean Stone Art History of Chowoo and Soomuk
Authors: Eom Gi pyo
Published: October 2018

Chowoo Hwang Su-young(1918~2011) and Soomuk Chin Hong-sup(1918~2010) both learned from Woohyun Ko Yu-seop, a pioneer and an early luminary of Korean art history. They were scholars who laid the groundwork for art history of today. Ko Yu-seop was from Incheon, but worked as the director of the Museum at Gaeseong, where Hwang and Chin were friends from childhood. The researches they made from Gaeseong helped to establish Korean art history as an academic field, and for this, they are often referred to as “Gaeseong Samgeol (Three Heroes of Gaeseong).” Their friendship that started at Gaeseong could be described as fortuitous. Hwang first understood the value of art history when on field research with Ko, and decided firmly to pursue the subject as he prepared and read the eulogy for Ko after his sudden death. As for Chin, he was much impressed by monuments around Gaeseong when on surveys with Ko and by what he learned about Korean history and art from him at the Gaeseong Museum. It was only natural that Chin took interest in art history and deeply felt the need for art historical research after finishing college. Hwang and Chin were pioneers of Korean art history who followed in the footsteps Ko, their teacher. They were mainly concerned with stone sculptures, forming the basis of art history today, and securing its position as an important part of Korean art history. Both Hwang and Chin’s main areas of interest were stone stupas and Buddhist sculptures from Three Kingdoms Dynasty, Unified Silla, and Goryeo, the same as Ko. Their method was fundamentally empirical but they did not disregard artistic style and written documents that were necessary for understanding and studying Stone sculptures. The two scholars’ achievements made it possible to determine the dates of stone sculptures and to understand the stylistic development and changes that set up a systematic method for stylistic analysis. Their achievements are significant as the basis and the fundamentals of Korean art history.
Korean Crafts History by Hwang Su-young and Chin Hong-sup : Current Historiography and Future Prospects
Authors: Joo Kyeongmi
Published: October 2018

Hwang Su-young and Chin Hong-sup conducted historical researches on Korean crafts mainly in 1960s and 1970s. Covering various types of crafts and preserving primary sources that had been disappearing, their researches represent the emergence of the field of Korean crafts history. This article examines their researches in Korean crafts history from historiographical perspectives along with changing research environment and tasks for future prospects in the field. Hwang Su-young, who was a professor in the Dongguk University, wrote excellent articles on Buddhist crafts such as Buddhist bells, bronze gong, incense burners, and Buddhist reliquaries. He carried out in-depth researches about ancient Korean pagodas and Buddhist reliquaries, focusing on the relic enshrinements of the wooden pagoda in Hwangryongsa temple site and of the five-story stone pagoda in Wanggungli temple site. In 1978, he founded the Research Association of Korean Buddhist Bells together with Professor Yeom Young-ha in the College of Engineering in the Seoul National University, initiating interdisciplinary studies about Buddhist bells. While serving as the director of the Gyeongju National Museum in 1950s, Chin Hong-sup made great endeavor to excavate ancient archaeological sites in Gyeongju and to preserve metal works such as golden crowns from ancient tombs of Silla. At the same time, he organized special exhibitions of Korean arts in foreign countries including, but not limited to, the US. his overseas experiences gave him much broader perspectives on methodologies in art history and museology. As a professor in the Ewha Womans University, he excavated ancient tombs, pagodas, and kilns with many students and researchers in the university museum. In addition, he wrote several preliminary research books on Korean metalcrafts and ceramics for education. The shared methodology of the two scholars in their studies of Korean crafts history, that is, close and detailed examination of objects, is still valid in current research in the field. However, the research environment in Korean crafts history has dramatically changed since the late twentieth century with the newly excavated artifacts using more advanced archaeological methods; the development of conservation science; and the increasing prevalence of digital materials. For example, various textual records including the Annals of the Joseon Dynasty have been computerized; images of artifacts collected in museums became accessible on the internet; replicas made with the technologies of three-dimensional scanning and printing began to appear. These changes in research environment in Korean art history greatly have affected current scholars in the field of Korean crafts. Under these circumstances, future studies in Korean crafts history have to be processed by combining the traditional method of careful observations on the original artifacts with a new method of scientific investigation.

Published: October 2018

Considering that there are hundreds of Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software on the market, it is of utmost importance that businesses choose the ERP system for which they will be most profitable. Existing business areas are similar in many respects, but each job has its own special qualities. If perfect harmonization is expected from a system, all details should be analysed from the point of view of the operator. In this study; to select the most suitable ERP software for businesses, ERP software from SAP is a global brand, with the LOGO of the leading software in Turkey, was intended to make a comparison for SMEs and big businesses. Using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, which is one of the Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods, an evaluation for the SMEs was first made in the Expert Choice program; followed by the same evaluation taking into account big businesses. It is analysed and the results are displayed, which is a better choice among the two ERP programs for SMEs and big businesses. Differences and similarities between evaluation criteria are presented. According to the results obtained from Expert Choice program, LOGO ERP software is the most suitable choice for the SMEs with 56,9% ratio in the selection of SAP and LOGO ERP Software. For big businesses, SAP program with 62.5% is more suitable.

Published: October 2018

Objective: To automate identification of postural point-features from colour videos of children with neuromotor disability, during clinical assessment. The automatic identification of 13 points of interest (2, 6, 2, 3 points on the head, trunk, pelvis, arm respectively) is required to estimate the location and orientation of head, trunk, and arm segments, from videos of the clinical test “Segmental Assessment of Trunk Control” (SATCo) which is a test of seated postural control. Methods: Three expert operators manually annotated 13 point-features in every fourth image of 177 short (5-10 second) videos (25 Hz) showing 12 children with cerebral palsy (ages: 4.52 ±2.4, male: 9), participating in SATCo testing. Linear interpolation for the remaining images resulted in 30,825 annotated images. Mean-pooling and max-pooling convolutional neural networks were trained with cross-validation, giving held-out test results for all children. Results: The point-features were estimated with error 4.40 ±3.75 pixels (mean-pooling), and 4.49 ±4.45 pixels (max-pooling), at approximately 100 images per second. Trunk segment angles (head, neck, 6 thoraco-lumbar-pelvic segments) were estimated with error 6.4° ±2.8° allowing accurate classification (F1 > 80%) of deviation from a reference posture at thresholds up to 3°, 3°, 2° respectively. Contact between arm point features (elbow, wrist) and supporting surface was classified at F1 = 80.5%. Conclusion and Significance: This study demonstrates, for the first time, a technical solution to automate identification of i) a sitting segmental-posture including individual trunk segments, ii) changes away from that posture, and iii) support from the upper limb, required for the clinical SATCo.
