G7 Ülkelerinde Karbon Emisyonu ile Ekonomik Büyüme İlişkisinin İncelenmesi
Authors: Emek Ömer Fazıl , Atay Polat Melike
Published: October 2023

Küresel problemlerin başında gelen küresel ısınma ve iklim felaketlerinin karbon emisyon hacmini artırması ve bunun da ekonomik büyüme ile herhangi bir ilişkisinin olup olmadığı literatürde tartışılan konular arasındadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, 1991 ile 2021 yılları arası gelişmiş 7 ülke (G7) için karbon emisyonu ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki uzun dönem ilişkisini incelemektir. Değişkenler arasındaki uzun dönem ilişkisi Durbin-Hausman panel eşbütünleşme testi ile belirlenmiştir. Eşbütünleşme testi doğrultusunda, kişi başı karbon emisyon miktarı ile kişi başı GSYH değişkenleri arasında eşbütünleşik ilişkinin varlığı saptanmıştır. Daha sonra uzun dönem katsayı tahmini için tam düzeltilmiş en küçük kareler (FMOLS) ve dinamik en küçük kareler (DOLS) tahmincileri kullanılmış ve elde edilen bulgulara göre değişkenler arasındaki ilişkinin negatif yönlü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bunun anlamı, G7 ülkelerinde ekonomik büyümenin karbon emisyon miktarını azalttığıdır. Bu sonuçlardan G7 ülkelerinde ekonomik büyümenin çevresel politikaların belirlenmesine engel olmayacağı anlaşılmaktadır. Ancak geleneksel ekonomik büyümenin yerine daha temiz ve yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına dayalı bir ekonomik model oluşturmanın önemine vurgu yapmak gerekir.

Authors: Sklyuev S. V. , Krasnov D. V.
Published: October 2023

The objective: to study results of bronchial block in pulmonary tuberculosis patients depending on the presence of local infl ammatory changes in their bronchial tree, the frequency and nature of complications in this category of patients.

Subjects and Methods. In order to achieve the above objective, in 2018–2019 in Novosibirsk Tuberculosis Research Institute, all patients who had indications for bronchial block were enrolled in the study. 275 tuberculosis patients were divided into 2 groups: Main Group (n=108) consisted of the patients with infl ammatory changes in their bronchial tree, while Comparison Group (n=167) included patients with no such changes. The valve bronchial block was implanted, effi  cacy of treatment and complications that developed were evaluated. 

Results. Effi  cacy of valve bronchial blocking did not depend on the presence of local infl ammatory changes in the bronchi, so it can be used without waiting for the relief of infl ammatory changes. The profi le of complications in the groups was comparable.
Interaction between mesenchymal stromal cells and tuberculous mycobacteria in vitro
Authors: Belogorodtsev S. N. , Lykov A. P. , Nemkova E. K. , Schwartz Ya. Sh.
Published: October 2023

The objective: in an in vitro experiment, we compared phagocytic parameters of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) and macrophages to tuberculous mycobacteria, assessed the ability of MSCs and macrophages to lyse mycobacteria or maintain their intracellular growth, their effect on formation of phenotypic drug resistance of mycobacteria, as well as the effect of tuberculous mycobacteria on the type of MSCs cell death.

Subjects and Methods. Balb/c male mice, aged 6 to 8 weeks, were used in the experiment. Bone marrow MSCs were obtained from femurs and tibias by further cultivation, peritoneal macrophages were elicited with 4% alpha-glucan. The intracellular content of mycobacteria was counted using a confocal microscope with x 400 magnification. Susceptibility of mycobacteria to isoniazid and development of phenotypic drug resistance after culturing MSCs and macrophages with MTB on Lowenstein–Jensen medium was assessed by counting CFU. In 5 days after the infection, the number of apoptotic and necrotic MSCs and macrophages was determined by a flow cytometer.

Results. On Day 1, the total number of phagocytosed MTB, as well as the number of phagocytic-active macrophages, exceeds the corresponding figures for MSCs more than twice. MSCs phagocytize tuberculous mycobacteria in a smaller amount, but MTB reproduces in them more actively: the number of CFU after 7 days of cell cultivation with MTB exceeded the corresponding parameter by almost 50 times after 24 hours of cultivation. In cultures of infected MSCs cultivated for 7 days, regardless of the presence of isoniazid, there was a rapid growth of tuberculous mycobacteria. On Day 5 after infection of macrophage culture with tuberculous mycobacteria, the number of necrotic cells was 2.7 times greater than that of uninfected necrotic macrophages, but the number of apototic cells in these groups differed slightly. In the culture of MSCs, there were 8.5 times more infected nectrotic cells versus uninfected necrotic MSCs, and the number of necrotic MSCs was 4.5 times higher than the number of MSCs with apoptosis, while in the culture of infected macrophages, the number of necrotic cells was the same as number of apoptotic cells. Unlike macrophages, treatment of MSCs with isoniazid did not inhibit the intracellular proliferation of MTB.

Conclusion. MSCs have the ability to phagocytose mycobacteria, but they do it less actively than macrophages and, unlike macrophages, they are not able to restrain the reproduction of tuberculous mycobacteria. Mycobacteria have phenotypic drug resistance in MSCs. In MSCs, when infected with tuberculous mycobacteria, there is a pronounced shift towards necrosis in the type of cell death, which can lead to dissemination of MTB and development of local destructive changes.

Authors: Reisha Notonegoro  , Oliva Azalia Putri  , Michelle Birne  , Syaifudin Syaifudin  , Indri Yani Septiana
Published: October 2023

Introduction: Accurate and efficient dental implant placement is crucial for successful treatment outcomes. Traditional implant placement techniques rely on 2D imaging and freehand surgery, which can be associated with inaccuracies and prolonged surgical time. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of 3D printing technology, specifically the use of patient-specific surgical guides, on the accuracy and efficiency of dental implant placement in Semarang, Indonesia.
Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 60 patients requiring a single dental implant in the posterior mandible. Participants were randomly assigned to either the control group (conventional freehand implant placement) or the experimental group (3D printed surgical guide-assisted implant placement). Primary outcome measures were implant placement accuracy (deviation from planned implant position) and surgical time. Secondary outcomes included postoperative pain, swelling, and patient satisfaction.
Results: The use of 3D printed surgical guides significantly improved implant placement accuracy in all three dimensions (mesiodistal, buccolingual, and apicocoronal) compared to the freehand technique (p<0.001). Surgical time was also significantly reduced in the experimental group (p=0.02). There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of postoperative pain, swelling, or patient satisfaction.
Conclusion: 3D printing technology significantly enhances the accuracy and efficiency of dental implant placement. The use of patient-specific surgical guides resulted in more precise implant positioning and reduced surgical time, contributing to improved treatment outcomes.

Published: October 2023

Introduction: Early caries lesions are increasingly prevalent, demanding minimally invasive treatment modalities. This study compared the efficacy of resin infiltration and conventional methods in managing early caries lesions in Surabaya, Indonesia.
Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial was conducted involving 120 patients with early caries lesions. Participants were randomly assigned to three groups: resin infiltration, microabrasion, and fluoride varnish application. Lesion characteristics were assessed at baseline, 6, 12, and 24 months using ICDAS criteria and DIAGNOdent readings.
Results: Resin infiltration demonstrated significantly higher success rates in arresting lesion progression compared to microabrasion and fluoride varnish at all follow-up periods (p<0.05). Lesion depth and DIAGNOdent values decreased significantly in all groups, with the most significant reduction observed in the resin infiltration group.
Conclusion: Resin infiltration proved to be a superior minimally invasive technique for managing early caries lesions compared to conventional methods. Its ability to effectively arrest lesion progression and improve aesthetics highlights its potential as a valuable treatment option in contemporary clinical practice.
On musical memory in Đorđe Marković's Monuments: Overture for Peace
Authors: Ilić Ljubica
Published: October 2023

By looking at various theoretical perspectives on the role of memory in contemporary culture and examining the problem of musical memory, this paper explores the significance of reminiscences of Ludwig van Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and Krzysztof Penderecki's Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima in Đorđe Marković's (b. 1978) symphonic composition Monuments: Overture for Peace (2022). The conclusion is that, due to increasingly rapid social change and the dominance of information and media culture, the urge to refer to the past as is done in Marković's work originates from the tendency to resist both the fear of forgetting and the uncertainty of what is to come.

Authors: Indarwati Indarwati , Nurhayati Nurhayati , Lukman Lukman , Sahib Harlinah
Published: October 2023

Language attitudes are beliefs, preconceptions, and opinions that speakers have about a language. Additionally, it has been demonstrated that linguistic attitudes affect social interaction's behavioral cooperativeness. In general, behavioral cooperativeness is increased by favorable attitudes toward another person's language diversity, while behavioral cooperativeness is decreased by negative attitudes. Therefore, this study examines the positive or negative the language attitudes of the Konjo language in South Sulawesi. This research aims to analyze the language attitudes of the Konjo Community toward the Indonesian: a sociolinguistics study. A mixed-methods quantitative-qualitative approach was employed using the results of questionnaires and interviews. The data was collected from 135 respondents from various age and education groups. The results showed that most Konjo people in Gantarang have a positive attitude towards Indonesian as the national language. This indicates that Indonesian has been accepted as an official language essential to the Konjo community. However, although Konjo people have a positive attitude towards Indonesian, they still use the Konjo language as their identity language. This shows that the Konjo language is essential to their identity and culture. In addition, using the Konjo language can also strengthen social relations and togetherness among the Konjo people.

Provocation of a crime in criminal law is a complex and related phenomenon with various institutional structures of criminal law, which is the reason for putting forward often conflicting views about it, under such conditions, in terms of ensuring legal certainty, there is a need to comprehensively conduct appropriate in-depth research on the phenomenon in question. In order to identify this phenomenon, as well as to be able to consider it as a crime, special importance is given to the study of its individual structural features. In this context, it is important, from different points of view, to make the subject of research the circle of relationships that can be reached as a result of provocation of a crime, and taking into account its wide scope, to distinguish from them those relationships that are protected by the criminal law and directly cause damage to the mentioned phenomenon. In addition, the question of how the provocation of a crime can manifest itself, in the context of which the possibility of committing the act in question with inaction is of special interest and legal significance, is subject to discussion. By studying domestic and foreign experience, as well as identifying theoretical and practical problems, along with certain aspects that have already been formed, a comprehensive study of the topic creates the basis for putting forward new scientifically based theses and their justification.
Communal Narcissism and Sadism as Predictors of Everyday Vigilantism
Authors: Chen Fan Xuan , Ok Ekin , Aquino Karl
Published: October 2023

Vigilantes monitor their social environment for signs of wrongdoing and administer unauthorized punishment on those who they perceive to be violating laws, social norms, or moral standards. We investigated whether the willingness to become a vigilante can be predicted by grandiose self-perceptions about one's communality (communal narcissism) and enjoyment of cruelty (sadism). As hypothesized, findings demonstrated both variables to be positively related to becoming a vigilante as measured by reports of past and anticipated vigilante behavior (Study 1) and by dispositional tendencies toward vigilantism (Studies 1 and 2). We also found communal narcissism and sadism predicted the perceived effectiveness of vigilante actions exhibited by others (Study 2) and the intention to engage in vigilantism after witnessing a norm violation (Study 3). Finally, Study 3 also demonstrated that the tendency for communal narcissists and sadists to become a vigilante might vary based on the expected consequences of the observed norm violation.

Published: October 2023

Considerable research demonstrates a positive association between sexual satisfaction and relationship satisfaction, but longitudinal evidence on the direction of this link remains inconclusive. To address this research gap, the present research provided a stringent test of the within-person associations between sexual and relationship satisfaction over time by analyzing 4-year longitudinal data from a nationally representative sample of newlywed couples in the United States (N = 2,104). The results indicated that within-person changes in sexual satisfaction predicted future changes in relationship satisfaction, whereas changes in relationship satisfaction did not predict future changes in sexual satisfaction. These results remained consistent when accounting for changes in couples’ sexual frequency, which showed significant associations with sexual satisfaction but non-significant associations with relationship satisfaction over time. All associations were consistent across gender. Overall, the current findings inform theory and practice on the roles of sexual dynamics in shaping overall perceptions of intimate relationships.

Authors: Al-Zubaidi Fadi I , Pufulete Maria , Salmasi Mohammad Yousuf , Angelini Gianni D , Vohra Hunaid A
Published: October 2023

Objectives: To determine whether sex-based differences exist following surgery for degenerative mitral valve disease. Methods: Using a national database, we analysed data on mitral valve surgery for degenerative disease (n = 22,658) between January 2000 and March 2019 in the UK. We split the cohort into men (n = 14,681) and women (n = 7977) and compared background characteristics, intraoperative variables and early postoperative outcomes. Our primary outcome was hospital mortality; secondary outcomes included re-exploration for bleeding, prolonged admission (>10 days) and mitral replacement. We used binary logistic regression models for all outcomes, with multiplicative interaction terms to determine the nature of any differences. Results: Women presented older (70 ± 11 years vs. 67 ± 11 years, p < 0.001) with worse symptom profiles (New York Heart Association Class III–IV 57% vs. 44%, p < 0.001). They had higher rates of preoperative atrial fibrillation (39% vs. 35%, p < 0.001) and tricuspid disease requiring surgery (21% vs. 15%, p < 0.001). They had lower repair rates (66% vs. 76%, p < 0.001), higher mortality (3% vs. 2%, p < 0.001) and were more likely to have a prolonged admission (48% vs. 40%, p < 0.001). Female sex was an independent predictor of mortality (odds ratio (OR): 1.52, 95% CI: 1.21–1.90, p < 0.001). Age and Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) score showed significant interactions with sex. The relationship between advancing age and mortality was found to be more pronounced in women. Conclusions: (1) Female sex is an independent predictor of hospital mortality, prolonged hospital admission and mitral valve replacement. (2) The relationship between female sex and mortality is exacerbated by worsening CCS score and advancing age. (3) Women have significantly lower repair rates.
Hybrid NVH modeling approach: How numerical and experimental methods complement each other
Authors: Wegerhoff M. , Kamper T. , Brücher H. , Sottek R.
Published: October 2023

The ever-increasing demand for shorter development times and cost savings means that important design decisions must be made at an early stage of the development process. This goal of saving time and reducing costs leads to an increased use of virtual prototypes. However, by combining the methods of simulation and testing, the idea of saving time and reducing costs can be extended even further. In addition, in some cases the accuracy of the results can be increased compared to the approach based solely on numerical models or experimental results. Depending on the task and the availability of data (to build virtual prototypes), methods (to model certain physical phenomena) and physical prototypes, the optimal approach must be chosen. In a connected world, where development processes are distributed across different companies, the availability of data and physical prototypes becomes even more critical: companies need to share product features to create system models, but may not want to share development knowledge or product design details. In the proposed talk, a combined method of measurement and numerical simulation to predict and analyze the NVH properties of an e-bike is demonstrated. In this specific case, the electric drive unit of an e-bike that is already in series production is installed virtually in a numerical model of a new e-bike prototype. The excitation and structural dynamics of the electric drive unit are derived from experiment using the method of in-situ blocked forces. This kind of source description is known from the experimental transfer path analysis. In parallel, the numerical model of the e-bike prototype is built using a bottom-up method. The vibrations of the carbon frame induced by the virtually mounted electric drive unit are analyzed. The validity of the approach is shown using experimental data. The model presented can be used for further investigation of the airborne noise excited by the electric drive unit and radiated by the frame, which will be shown in following publications.

Published: October 2023

It is of interest to explore the correlation between preoperative bone density, assessed via CBCTT, and primary stability of dental implants, assessed by torque ratchet. A total of 100 patients who had implant placed were taken a sample for this retrospective study. The Hounsfield units (HU) derived preoperative bone densities at implant sites that were acquired with the help of the CBCT and the primary stability was achieved during the day of surgery. Both were compared to optimum bone densities. Statistical correlation was done between the HU and Bone density. Data suggests that evaluating HU values, along with other parameters, before performing implant surgery could lead to better primary implant stability.

With the advent of various implant abutment junctions, the ultimate aim is to develop a precise implant abutment junction with negligible micro-leakage. However precise the mechanical connection is, there seems to be a negligible amount of micro-leakage that is present that can be addressed with the help of sealing gel. This study aims to assess the micro-leakage between the neo-sealing gel and the commercially available implant sealing gel. The study was conducted on implants (n=15) with internal hex connections, group 1 (No gel, n=5), group 2 (Neo gel, n=5) and group 3 (commercial gel, n=5). Mean dE*ab values of 0.28± 0.02, 0.04± 0.01 and 0.17±0.01 were noted for the 3 groups, and there was statistically significant difference between the 3 groups (p≤0.05). The study suggests that the neo sealing gel may be a promising material to prevent bacterial ingress and micro-leakage at the implant abutment junction.

The sample size was 300 SMEs, selected through a simple random sampling technique to ensure a representative representation of businesses based on their size and industry. The primary research instrument used will be a questionnaire, which allows the collection of quantitative and qualitative data on SMEs' utilization and experiences with digital financial innovations. The results revealed that digital payment systems, mobile banking, and agent banking did not have statistically significant relationships with SMEs' financial performance, as evidenced by their respective p-values (0.773, 0.090, and 0.405). These findings suggest that the adoption and utilization of these digital financial services alone do not significantly influence SMEs' financial outcomes. In contrast, online lending was found to have a positive and statistically significant effect on financial performance, with a p-value of 0.042. This implies that SMEs in the retail sector in Nairobi City Centre can potentially improve their financial performance by actively engaging in online lending activities. However, it is important to note that the overall model's R-squared value was low at 5.2%, indicating that the independent variables collectively explained only a small proportion of the variance in financial performance. The F-statistic (1.231) was statistically insignificant with a p-value of 0.303, suggesting that the predictors had an insignificant combined effect on explaining financial performance. In conclusion, while online lending shows promise as a means to enhance financial performance, SMEs should adopt a comprehensive financial management approach that considers various factors beyond just digital financial services to achieve sustained improvements in their financial outcomes.

Exploring the New Mode of Cooperation between Applied Undergraduate Education and Enterprises-Taking Logistics Engineering Major as an Example
Authors: Pan Sibo , Luo Jing
Published: October 2023

With the continuous development of the global economy and the rapid growth of the logistics industry, the demand for logistics engineering majors is increasing day by day. The traditional theoretical teaching mode can no longer meet the actual needs of the industry, and students, can not adapt to the complex logistics operation and management tasks with theoretical knowledge alone. Therefore, more and more colleges and universities have begun to explore the innovative path of undergraduate education. This paper explores the application of the new mode of cooperation between applied undergraduate education and enterprises in the logistics engineering specialty. It analyzes the current situation of the education model of logistics engineering, discusses the significance of establishing cooperation between applied undergraduate education and enterprises, elaborates on the challenges faced during the implementation of the model, and puts forward corresponding countermeasure points. It includes practices such as establishing cooperation frameworks and mechanisms, strengthening internships and practical training, integrating curricula with industry needs, promoting the combination of industry, academia, and research, as well as establishing incentive mechanisms and win-win cooperation models, aiming to provide more practice-oriented education and to cultivate professionals adapted to the industry's development.

The present work has a double objective, to identify the profile of the tourist and their habits regarding sports tourism in the town of Calpe (Alicante), and, secondly, based on the information acquired, to establish the development guides for the map of local sports tourism. For this, an ad hoc questionnaire was developed, which was passed to a random sample of 381 people, thus establishing significant results with a 0.8% error for samples greater than 1000000 individuals. After finding the profile of the local tourist, we proceeded to develop an application, in its alpha phase, of the sports tourism map of the locality under study. This work is the support point on which to develop a final application that houses all the information related to sports tourism in the Valencian Community, developing a complete sports tourism map of the Autonomous Community.

Published: October 2023

Purpose: In recent years, climbing has become increasingly popular and now has more enthusiasts and research interest than ever before. However, no study has yet considered the relationships between the functional mobility of the upper and lower limbs, climbing experience, climbing-specific hip mobility, and muscle strength. The purpose of this study was to determine whether functional mobility (measured using shoulder mobility and active straight leg raise tests) or climbing-specific hip mobility (measured using an adapted Grant foot raise test [hip flexion] and lateral foot reach test [hip abduction and external rotation determines climbing skills. Methods: A total of 59 volunteer climbers in 3 groups (elite climbers, intermediate climbers, and non-climbers) were assessed according to anthropometry, muscle strength, functional mobility, and hip mobility. Results: Elite climbers performed significantly better than intermediate climbers and non-climbers in tests of the external mobility of the left shoulder (p = .043; η2 = 0.112) and in the adapted Grant foot raise test (p = .023; η2 = 0.126). Conclusions: Elite climbers have greater hip mobility than intermediate climbers and non-climbers. Functional shoulder mobility, especially external rotation, may play a role in effective climbing.

Sports trauma commonly affects joints of the extremities; ankle injuries are one of the most common. The study aimed to rehabilitate ankle trauma with proprioceptive exercise, performed, by graduate in motor science. Trauma causes joint instability, which is manifested mainly in running and walking. For this reason, baropodometry and motor tests were used as evaluation criteria; evaluating joint instability in both static and dynamic and neuromotor abilities. Seven athletes (aged 17 and 24 years old) are recruited for the study; they had suffered ankle trauma. The rehabilitation program involved the supervision of a multidisciplinary team (neurologist, posturologist, kinesiologist, sports doctor, observers). Each treatment was always at the same time and included 3 phases: the first on specific work to recover joint mobility, in the second the work was focused on recovering strength, third phase was aimed at recovering ankle sprains. The athletes were administered proprioceptive functional rehabilitation programs aimed at recovering the ankle trauma and plantar pressures. The data were positive and encouraging with respect to the planned goal, supporting the importance of proprioception and the role of the graduate in motor science in the functional re- education of trauma.
Perkawinan Beda Agama (Dalam Perspektif Konsep Maslahah al-Ghazali)
Authors: Syarbini Imam
Published: October 2023

Artikel ini menggunakan pendekatan Naratif yaitu penyampaian kisah atau carita sesuai dengan fakta sejarah, metode ini digunakan untuk mengisahkan sejarah pendapat para Mufassir, Fuqaha’ baik klasik maupun kontemporer khususnya tentang tema nikah beda agama

Selain itu penulis juga menggunakan pendekatan Deskriptif analitik yaitu suatu metode yang digunakan untuk menggambarkan sesuatu sebagaimana adanya dengan memberikan analisa sepenuhnya terhadap hal-hal yang dipandang perlu, metode ini Penulis gunakan untuk mengalisa pendapat-pendapat yang muncul berkenaan dengan tema nikah beda agama.

Mayoritas ulama’ sepakat bahwa haram hukumnya nikah antara orang Islam baik laki-laki maupun perempuan dengan orang musyrik. Sementara nikah beda agama yang dibolehkan oleh al-Qur’an hanya antara laki-laki muslim denagn perempuan  Ahl al-Kitab. Namun demikian, terjadi perbedaan pendapat di kalangan ulama’, siapa yang dimaksud Ahl al-Kitab, Pertama Yahudi dan Nasrani, karena kedua ada kitab yang diberi al-Kitab. Kedua, yang dimaksud Ahl al-Kitab bukan hanya Yuhudi dan Nasrani, tetapi juga agama orang Majusi, karena  sebuah hadits yang memerintahkan umat Islam untuk memperlakukan orang majus seperti Ahl al-Kitab lainnya.

Namun demikian, menurut konsep Mashlahah al-Ghazali tentang nikah beda agama antara laki-laki dengan perempuan  Ahl al-Kitab tidak diperbolehkan, meskipun didukung oleh bukti empirik. Hal itu dikarenakan Nash Syara’ dengan eksplisit melarang beda agama antara laki-laki dengan perempuan  non muslim, termasuk Ahl al-kitab berdasarkan QS.al-Baqarah 221 dan QS. Al-Mumtahanah 10. Hal ini sesuai dengan tujuan syara’ yaitu memelihara agama. Al-Ghazali memandang bahwa suatu kemaslahatan harus sejalan dengan tujuan Syara’, sekalipun bertentangan dengan tujuan manusia, karena kemaslahatan manusia tidak selamanya didasarkan kepada kehendak Syara’, tetapi sering didasarkan pada kehendak hawa nafsu.
