The role of LncRNAs in the development of cataracts
Authors: Yacouba Cissé , Kampété Damandi Voulaniya
Published: July 2022

The prevalence of eye diseases worldwide is dramatically increasing and represent a major concern in underdeveloped and developed regions, especially sight threatening diseases. Ocular diseases, previously associated with a higher depression risk, also impose a substantial economic burden on affected families and society, thus the importance of early detection and accurate treatment in order to avoid and prevent blindness should be emphasized. Cataract, a clouding (opacification) in the normally transparent of lens which leads to a decrease in vision, is most commonly due to aging but may also be present at birth and occur due to trauma or radiation exposure. With the increasing population of elderly people and cataract patients in China, the social burden of cataract is a big challenge at present and will continue to be a challenge in the future. Genetics have been shown to play an important role in the occurrence of eye diseases, with the detection of a numbers of specific gene mutations. LncRNAs have emerged as a novel class of regulatory molecules involved in numerous biological processes and complicated diseases, however the proper connections and pathways they may use to influence the susceptibility to developing cataracts have not yet been completely elucidated. In this review, we focus on the lncRNAs characteristics and its regulation, and summarize these results from separate, independent, cataract-related studies in addition to discussing possible pathways by which lncRNAs might contribute to the development of cataract.

To assess the posterior segment findings in cases presenting with post covid mucormycosis.

A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on patients presented with post-covid mucormycosis who were admitted in our hospital during the time period from 1/5/2021 to 1/9/2021. Our study included cases with and without orbital involvement. Anterior segment examination and fundus examination using indirect ophthalmoscopy was done. Findings were photo documented with fundus camera.

: In a cohort of 248 patients, 183 (73.7%) were males and 65 (26.2%) were females. 210 (84.67%) were diabetics. The mean age was 50.00 +/-12.33 years. A total of 480 eyes were evaluated, out of which 151 (31.45%) had orbital involvement. Of these 151, 65 had normal fundus, 26 (17.21%) had diabetic retinopathy, 22 had CRAO, 12 had disc pallor, 10 had disc edema and 16 had miscellaneous changes. Out of 329 uninvolved eyes, 239 had normal fundus, 53 (16.10%) had diabetic retinopathy. There was no statistically significant difference between the prevalence of diabetic retinopathy in eyes with orbital involvement and without orbital involvement (p=.39).

One-third of the patients with post-covid mucormycosis had retinal findings. These are related to direct disease manifestation as well as underlying co-morbidities.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Report 2021
Authors:   Inter American Development Bank
Published: July 2022

In the IDB Group, diversity is in the cornerstone of everything we do in Latin America and the Caribbean. We strongly believe that an active investment in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) entails many institutional benefits including more innovative solutions for our clients, and a stronger position in capital markets, and an overall perception as a preferred place to work. Recognizing our diversity and our commitment to making our organization more inclusive and equitable is what makes our institution the premier development finance institution for Latin America and the Caribbean, and the reason why we have included DEI in our Institutional Strategy and the Vision 2025. In 2021, we achieved significant milestones including becoming the first multilateral development bank in the Americas, and the second worldwide, to achieve the EDGE Move certification, the second level in a three level globally recognized gender certification, and the integration of equity as a core principle of our strategy thus ensuring a focus on the individual needs of our employees and provide fair opportunities and an equal outcome for all. Our institution still has much work to do in DEI, and we intend to be the standard-bearer in the Region and a source of inspiration and guidance for our clients. What is being highlighted in this DEI 2021 Report are the crucial steps taken to lay a path to better results within the IDB Group. For example, we continue to complete a gender pay gap analysis annually. In 2021, the analysis results for the IDB estimated an unexplained wage differential for base salaries of 0.8% in favor of men. While for IDB Invest, the analysis results estimated the unexplained wage differential for base salaries of 2.8% in favor of men. Putting this into context, our differential is less than /- 5% which is considered statistically insignificant by the Economic Dividends for Gender Equality (EDGE) standards. This report describes our efforts to advance this DEI agenda during 2021. We highlight our best practices to develop an organizational culture that encourages diverse experiences, measure our progress in numbers, and share the initiatives, actions, and targets we have set up for the upcoming years.
Dialogue between the United States and Russian Federation on the Issue of Strategic Stability after the Start of the Special Operation in Ukraine
Authors: Batyuk Vladimir
Published: July 2022

The Russian military special operation in Ukraine has become a serious challenge for the dialogue between Moscow and Washington on strategic stability issues. Meanwhile, this dialogue is extremely important in the context of the ongoing strategic arms race (nuclear and non-nuclear) and shifts in the balance of strategic forces as a result of the rise of China. The United States and the Russian Federation may simply not have enough time to work out an agreement on strategic arms reduction, which should replace the START-3 Treaty. The latter expires in less than four years.
Imaginarios sociales de los límites de la comunicación entre las personas sordas y oyentes desde el aula universitaria
Authors: Ordoñez Stephanny , Ordoñez Edwin Giovanni
Published: July 2022

el presente artículo indaga los imaginarios sociales de las fronteras de la comunicación entre personas sordas y oyentes en el aula universitaria. En sus discursos, se revelan perspectivas, intentos o desavenencias frente a su interrelación social. A través de estos, cabe la existencia de estigmatizaciones hacia cualquier persona sujeta en la diferencia, debido a los imaginarios sociales, entendidos como esquemas perceptivos construidos socialmente y que ponen en tela de juicio el sentido de compañerismo. Además, se desconoce parcial o totalmente la existencia de otras formas comunicativas, lo cual resulta en la errónea idea de considerar a la lengua oral como la única que provee a la comunicación global y cotidiana, y se omiten la escritura, la lengua de señas, la expresión corporal, el dibujo, la simbología, entre otras expresiones. La metodología de trabajo se orientó en el modelo cualitativo con un enfoque crítico y social, bajo el modelo de Pintos (2005), que permite la recolección de los imaginarios sociales y la búsqueda de estrategias que contribuyan a reconocer la diversidad comunicativa en su plenitud.
Una revisión del uso del hidrógeno en motores de encendido por compresión (diésel) y un análisis de su posible uso en motores duales en Colombia
Authors: Menaca Rafael , Bedoya-Caro Iván Darío
Published: July 2022

Las emisiones de los motores de encendido por compresión (MEC) están siendo fuertemente reguladas. Abandonar los motores diésel no es una solución a las regulaciones establecidas, debido a su alto desempeño respecto a similares tecnologías. El uso de combustibles más limpios y alternativos en motores diésel actuales es una propuesta bastante atractiva, puesto que aprovecharía su alta eficiencia y las características verdes de los combustibles no convencionales. El hidrógeno es el combustible más prometedor debido a que es limpio y puede ser producido a partir de energías alternativas como la solar o la eólica. El uso de motores duales diésel-hidrógeno promueve la reducción de agentes contaminantes atmosféricos (COx y hollín) y puede aumentar la eficiencia térmica del motor. En este trabajo se analizan los MEC en modo dual diésel-hidrógeno en una amplia gama de aspectos. Se revisa el efecto de la adición de hidrógeno a los MEC sobre el rendimiento del motor y las emisiones contaminantes. Se describe la legislación de Colombia y su matriz energética, y se analizan los compromisos que se tienen en los procesos energéticos. Se analizan los estudios en Colombia de los motores utilizando hidrógeno, y se establecen los límites de enriquecimiento recomendados expuestos en la literatura.

Published: July 2022

The environmental situation in the capital city is always in the focus of attention of the municipal authorities of the city and is one of the most important factors influencing the decisions. The capital of Kazakhstan, Nur-Sultan, consumes heat energy generated from fossil fuel, and one of the major problems is an extremely cold and long winter. The GHG emissions and particle matters from the coal-based Combined Heat and Power plant have a significant impact on the environment as smog, particularly in the heating season. This work analyses spatial high-resolution Big Data collected from the metering points of 385 houses and 62 heat transmission contours across a city during the heating season. The temporary resolution was 10 minutes i.e., 8754 rows for 5 months (Jan-May). There are shown the findings of the correlation rates analysis between heat energy consumption by zones of Nur-Sultan and ambient temperature, as well as non-efficient zones with substantial losses. In this paper for developing the prediction tools for the Smart City heat consumption there were used mixed modelling methods and machine learning approaches, such as Linear Regression, K-neighbours Regressor, and Random Forest Regressor models. These obtained results could be helpful for predicting optimal pumping pressure for each distribution network using machine learning technologies and finding overheated contours in real time.

Published: July 2022

The purpose of this article aims to examine perceptions of employee engagement (EE) among petroleum retailing sector supervisors as a possible mediator between leadership styles (transformational, transactional, and laissez-faire) and employees’ performance (EP). We proposed a mediation model and postulated that leadership styles (LS) could increase perceptions of EE, which theoretically correspond to the three styles of leadership: transformational leadership (TSFL), transactional leadership (TSCL), and laissez-faire (LF). Subsequently, EE is linked to leadership styles and EP in keeping the extant body of social exchange theory (SET) research. In this study, a model developed based on survey research is used. Data was collected from 425 supervisors in the petroleum retailing sector in Jordan. The partial least squares (Smart-PLS) analysis is used to run the measurement and structural models. The findings show that leadership styles (transformational and transactional) are significantly and positively related to EP. In addition to the non-significantly relationship between LF leadership and EP. On the other hand, EE is not mediate the relationship between TSCL and EP.

Authors: Peng Wangxin , Nair Subadrah Madhawa , Wider Walton
Published: July 2022

Since the reform of the Chinese college title granting system in 2017, Chinese lecturers have been allowed to have different self-identification as researchers. This study aimed to investigate Chinese English lecturers’ self-identification as researchers and whether gender, age, academic qualification, title, teaching load, and top journal publications had significant influences on their self-identification as researchers. A questionnaire was employed to collect quantitative data from 612 Chinese English lecturers. The findings suggest that the lecturers had a relatively low self-identification as researchers and that all the independent variables had significant influences on their self-identification as researchers. The findings have the following implications. Firstly, colleges can encourage female, elderly, and non-publishing lecturers to do research by offering more incentives and research training. Secondly, colleges can implement favorable policies to encourage lecturers to pursue a doctoral degree. Thirdly, colleges can consider reducing the teaching load of the lecturers who wish to devote more time to research.
Batı’nın Kavramlarıyla Müslümanca Din Felsefesi Yapmanın İmkânı: Teizm, Ateizm ve Deizm Kavramlarını İslam Düşüncesiyle İlişkilendirmek Ne Kadar Mümkün?
Authors: ER Hasan
Published: July 2022

Bu çalışmada Batı düşünce geleneğinde üretilen bazı dinî kavramların İslam inancına dair çalışmalarda doğrudan kullanılmasının sakıncalarından bahsedilecektir. Söz konusu iddia deizm, ateizm ve özellikle de teizm kavramları çerçevesinde ortaya konacaktır. Özellikle Türkiye’de yapılmış din felsefesi çalışmaları gözden geçirilerek bahsi geçen üç kavramın İslam dünyasında icra edilen din felsefesi çalışmalarına doğrudan taşındığı gerçeği bir sorun olarak ortaya konacak ve bu durum İslam inancının başka bazı kavramlara indirgenmesi olarak tanımlanacaktır. Böyle bir sorunu vurgulayarak ulaşılmak istenen amaç ise İslam inanç esaslarının başka anlamlara indirgenmeden kendi anlam bütünlüğü içinde anlaşılmasının önemini hatırlatmaktır. Çünkü Batı düşünce geleneği içerisinde üretilmiş her kavram kendi düşünsel ve pratik geçmişiyle doğrudan bağlantılıdır. Bu sebeple farklı bir anlam dairesi içinde ya da belli bir pratik geçmişe bağımlı biçimde oluşmuş bir çözüm biçimi ya da eleştiri, aynıyla İslam düşüncesine taşındığında, o kavramların barındırdığı felsefî ve pratik geçmiş de taşınmış olacaktır. Oysa her inanç kendi anlam bütünlüğü ve geçmişi dikkate alınarak değerlendirilmelidir. Bu sorunu deizm ve ateizm gibi İslam’ın doğrudan reddettiği kavramlar üzerinden değerlendirmek teizm kavramına göre daha anlaşılır bir durumdur. Ancak teizm kavramı söz konusu olduğunda konu oldukça karmaşık bir hal almaktadır. Çünkü hemen hemen bütün kaynaklarda İslam, teistik bir din olarak tanımlanmakta ve bu durum İslam inancı için zorunlu bir ön kabul gibi değerlendirilmektedir. Oysa teizm, Descartes rasyonalizminin ve Newton mekaniğinin hâkim unsur olarak kabul edildiği Modern Batı düşüncesinin Tanrı anlayışıdır. Düşünen öznenin epistemik sınırlarında inşa edilmiş böyle bir Tanrı anlayışı ise İslam’ın Allah tasavvuruna uygun değildir.

Using qualitative descriptive-analytical approach. The data in this study were obtained from interviews, observations, and documentation. The data were analyzed in three stages, namely data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion. The primary data are the Principal, Teachers, and Students. The results showed that the CIPP evaluation model was carried out in a way, first, at the context stage, an problems analysis that occurred related to students' ability to read and write the Al-Qur’an. Second, at the input stage, a study was conducted on the obstacles and factors causing the low ability to read and write the Al-Qur’an and apply the KIBAR method as a solution. Third, at the process stage, an analysis of the effectiveness of the KIBAR program which is conceptualy considered well but there are obstacles. During covid-19, teachers had hardship teaching because they did not meet face-to-face. Fourth, at the product evaluation stage, an assessment of the success of the KIBAR Program is carried out which in general is quite good. However, there are still deficiencies in the activeness and seriousness of some students due to online learning. The deficiencies that occur are evaluated and become the material for continuous improvement of the KIBAR program. Through the evaluation of the CIPP model, the KIBAR approach is regarded to be able to increase students' fluency in reading the Al-Qur’an but during the Covid-19 period, it is not as much as face-to-face learning.

Arap edebiyatında doğup dil ve musiki âlimi El-Halil tarafından sistemleştirilen aruz vezni İran ve Türk edebiyatlarında kendi dil ihtiyaçlarına göre şekillenerek kullanılmıştır. Hecelerin kısalık ve uzunlukları esasına dayanan nazım ölçüsdü olan aruz vezni Türk şiirinde önceleri hece vezni ile paralelik gösterirken daha sonra ki dönemlerde dildeki değişikliklerle kendi kurallarını tesis etmiş ve gelişerek azımsanmayacak bir başarı göstermiştir. Aruz veznine dair gerek Arap edebiyatında gerekse İran ve Türk edebiyatında birçok eser ya da risale kaleme alınmıştır. Osmanlı Edebiyatında son dönemde özellikle aruz vezni üzerine inceleme ve tenkit yazıları da kaleme alınmıştır. Kaleme alınan bu çalışmalardan makalemize mevzu olan İlm-i Aruz kitabı ise aruz veznini tetkik mahiyetinde bir kitaptır. Eserde aruz vezni klasik usluba nazaran tanıtılmış ve dönemin merkteplerinde okutulması amacı ile kaleme alındığı için açıklayıcı ve öğretici bir gaye güdülmüştür. Bu sebeple ederde ayrıntılara yer verilerek örnekler bolca tutulmıuştur. Bu eser, Manastırlı Mehmet Rıfat’ın Mecâmi’ü’l-Edeb isimli kitabının içinde bir bölümdür. Mecâmi’ü’l-Edeb isimli üç ciltlik kitabın ikinci cildinin birinci kitabı olan İlm-i Aruz kitabında aruz vezni tarif edilerek aruza dair ıstılahat hakkında bilgiler verilmiştir. Bu malumatlara ilaveten aruz daireleri ve bahirleri hakkında örneklerle izahatlar yapılmıştır. Makalede evvela Mecâmi’ü’l-Edeb isimli eserin İlm-i Aruz kitabı ve içeriği anlatılmış ve sonrasında da eserin sadeleştirilmiş şekli verilmiştir. Bu çalışma vesilesiyle, adı geçen eser ve muhtevasına dair aruz ilmi sahasında bir katkı sunmak esas gaye olarak görülmüştür.
