The Relationship Between BIST100 Index Return and the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey Interest Rate Decisions
Authors: YILMAZ Yunus
Published: April 2022

Stock prices are affected by many economic and political factors. Interest rate, one of the macroeconomic indicators, is one of the important factors that are thought to affect share prices in the stock market. Central banks determine the interest rates of short-term loans given to banks and borrowing from banks. Through this interest rate, it aims to affect the general level of prices. A change in the interest rate changes the cost of borrowing and thus affects the firms’s profitability and ability to pay dividends. Again, change in interest rate can affect the opportunity cost of equity investments and this in turn affects stock prices. In this study, it is aimed to determine whether the interest rate decisions taken by the CBRT Monetary Policy Committee cause abnormal returns on stock prices. In Borsa Istanbul, the existence of abnormal returns with the effect of interest rate changes was investigated by event study method. Using 131-month data between May 2010 and March 2021, the presence of abnormal returns around the date of 30 meetings, when the decision to change the interest rate, was tested on the BIST100 index. As a result, it has been determined that interest rate change decisions have a very low effect on the BIST100 index. Although the effect on the index was observed within five days after the date of the interest rate increase/decrease decision, it was observed that this effect remained very weak.

Phytopathogenic fungi can cause economic losses. The application of natural products from species of the genus Agave is an alternative for controlling these organisms. The present study aimed to determine the phytochemical profile of Agave angustifolia and A. cupreata extracts and to evaluate their antifungal activity against several species of phytopathogenic fungi. The aqueous extract from A. angustifolia and the acetonic extract from A. cupreata were studied. The phytochemical profile was determined by thin-layer chromatography. Mycelial growth inhibition and spore production were evaluated. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and triterpenes. The acetonic extract of A. cupreata inhibited 76, 60, and 59% of the mycelial growth of Lasiodiplodia viticola, Colletotrichum sp., and Epicoccum sorghinum, respectively, at 8 and 16 mg mL-1 (p?0.05), while spore production decreased by 92 and 86 % (p?0.001) for Fusarium subglutinans and Colletotrichum sp., respectively. The aqueous extract of A. angustifolia inhibited 40% of the mycelial growth of E. sorghinum at 16 mg mL-1 (p?0.05) and reduced the spore production of L. viticola by 35% (p?0.001). The results indicate that the extracts under study can be an alternative source of antifungal compounds.

Authors: Mulyono Agus
Published: April 2022

Osteoporosis or bone loss is a chronic disease characterized by low bone mass accompanied by changes in micro-architecture of the bone and a decrease in the quality of bone tissue that can cause bone fragility, so that bones are easily cracked or even fractured. Osteoporosis is diagnosed by measuring bone mineral density using DXA (dual-energy X-rayabsorptiometry). Treatment with device this expensive and not widely available. So it is necessary to find an alternative method of detecting a cheap one. This study aims as an initial study to find an alternative way of early detection of osteoporosis by looking for the texture characteristics of the human bone. Sample in This study took 19 people with inclusion criteria including postmenopausal women who declared healthy, not broken bone and has no skeletal abnormalities since birth. Sample measured density mineral bone(BMD) or the degree of osteoporosis with DXA. Then an X-ray is done to get bone image. The stages of the research are: 1) preprocessing X-ray image of the human bone; 2) determine the value of the texture of the human bone image with gray level method co-occurrence matrix 3) test connection between the value of the human bone texture image with BMD lumbar spine. The results of the correlation test show that there is correlation between the value of human bone texture and BMD of the lumbar spine to characterize variance and significantly statistics (P0.05).

Published: April 2022

La historia de las ciudades está construida a partir de una superposición de capas. Los paisajes arquitectónicos resultantes están en una eterna transformación y contienen le memoria de tiempos lentos del pasado que se mezclan con la inmediatez del presente. Surgen así paisajes de la desaparición, cicatrices, huellas, que se ven además intervenidos por la mirada del espectador; sus emociones y memorias.
La contemporaneidad cuestiona los cambios en las ciudades y sus repercusiones en los distintos paisajes urbanos. Se busca un paisaje integral, donde el pasaje del tiempo sea el punto de partida para proyectar hacia el futuro.
Darío Álvarez Álvarez, profesor y arquitecto, director del LAB/PAP, habló con nosotras de manera remota en octubre de 2021. Se indagó acerca de la importancia de los tiempos en el paisaje arquitectónico y como se podían ver contemporáneamente afectadas o no, las ciudades y la arquitectura.

Objectives: To examine racial and ethnic disparities in COVID-19-like illness (CLI) during March – August 2020 in New York City, and to test effect modification by age, nativity, and working from home vs outside the home, and mediation via social distanc­ing behavior.Design: Analysis of the monthly Community Health Survey datasets.Setting: New York City.Participants: 5,305 adults living in New York City.Methods: Prevalence of having CLI was compared among racial and ethnic groups using multivariable log-linear regression. Stratified and causal mediation analyses were conducted to test effect modification and mediation, respectively.Main Outcome Measures: A binary indica­tor of having new onset of CLI in the past 30 days.Results: Overall percentage of CLI de­creased from 25% during March-May to 14% during June-August. In both periods, there was no increased prevalence of CLI among Black or Latino New Yorkers com­pared with White New Yorkers. However, in stratified analyses, Latino vs White New Yorkers had 2.05 times (95%CI=1.09, 3.83) higher prevalence of CLI among adults working outside the home. Media­tion via social distancing was not statistically significant.Conclusions: Excess burden of CLI among Latino adults working outside the home un­derscores inequitable impacts of COVID-19 in New York City.Ethn Dis. 2022;32(2):123- 130; doi:10.18865/ed.32.2.123

From teaching experience. X. Regular, semi-regular and irregular plane partitions
Authors: Voytehovskiy Yuriy
Published: April 2022

The article deals with regular, semi-regular and irregular plane partitions, among the latter are partitions into equal polygons and arbitrary partitions with simple knots. It continues the author's supplementary lectures to the university textbook «Crystallography» by G. M. Popov and I. I. Shafranovsky, which was recommended to the students of geology of the St. Petersburg Mining University. The new topic is interesting because the first problem is solved elementary in the form of a Diophantine equation, the second is solved by algorithmic enumeration of variants, the third is related to the 18th Gilbert problem and is not exhausted yet, and the fourth shows the transition to the geometry of quasi-crystalline and amorphous structures. It gives examples of easily formulated but difficult to solve problems and encourages students to be scientifically creative in geometric crystallography and related disciplines (petrography, materials science). The presentation of the theory is illustrated with examples of plane partitions in urban interiors of St. Petersburg.

Panel surya merupakan pembangkit listrik yang dapat merubah energi cahaya matahari menjadi energi listrik. Pada anel surya bekerja berdasarkan prinsip kerja dari sebuah semikonduktor p-n junction, karena pada sel surya menggunakan sebuah silikon sebagai bahan utama dalam penyusunnya. Tetapi dalam pembangkitannya, panel surya sangat bergantung pada kondisi cuaca, sehingga pada penyaluran menuju beban menjadi tidak maksimal. Sehingga perlu ditambahkan metode untuk memperoleh daya maksimal yakni menggunakan maximum power point tracker (MPPT). Algoritma ini akan diterapkan pada switching SEPIC converter berupa gelombang PWM dari mokrokontroler Arduino dengan frekuensi 62,5 kHz agar dapat menaikkan tegangan atau menurunkan tegangan sesuai dengan setpoint. Baterai yang digunakan adalah dengan kapasitas 48 Volt 12 Ah. SEPIC converter akan menaikkan tegangan dari panel surya yang dirangkai secara seri (masing-masing 100Wp) sebesar 31-39 Volt menjadi 55 Volt. Total waktu yang dibutuhkan selama pengisian baterai adalah 8,75 jam. Pada saat pengujian dengan beban 300 Ohm diperoleh efisiensi sebesar 99% dengan duty cycle sebesar 65% dan efisiensi paling buruk adalah berada pada duty cycle 10% dengan nilai efisiensi sebesar 29%.

Published: April 2022

Posbindu is a form of community service in carrying out early detection and monitoring of risk factors for major non-communicable diseases which is carried out in an integrated, routine, and periodic manner involving the role of the community under the guidance of the Puskesmas. The pandemic period made all mass activities limited so that elderly visits to posbindu also decreased. The decrease in elderly visits has led to an increase in uncontrolled non-communicable diseases. This study aims to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge of the elderly about non-communicable diseases with the level of adherence to Posbindu visits in the Pandemic Period. This type of research is a correlational study with a cross sectional approach (cross-sectional). The population of this study was Paguyangan Village residents aged 65 to 80 years in the Paguyangan Community Health Center working area with a total of 437 people. The sample used was 37 people using the Slovin formula. The research instrument used a knowledge questionnaire about non-communicable diseases consisting of 27 questions and a questionnaire about adherence to posbindu visits consisting of 10 questions. Data analysis used univariate analysis and bivariate analysis. The results of the study stated that there was a significant relationship between the knowledge of the elderly and the compliance of the elderly visiting posbindu with p value = 0.000 <0.05. The better the knowledge level of the elderly, the more obedient they are to visiting posbindu. Medical officers must be more intensive in providing health services in posbindu because the level of knowledge and compliance of the elderly is already good. The results of this study can be used as a measure to further improve the quality of posbindu services in Paguyangan Village. This research can also be used as the basis for the idea of ​​providing nursing innovations for the readiness to increase knowledge of the elderly and nursing interventions that can be carried out by the elderly independently by involving the family.
Application of Thoracic Immunogen of Musca domestica on Immunoglobulin-G Level of Goats Detected Through a Single Radial Immuno-Diffusion Test
Authors: Rumokoy Laurentius , Toar Wisje Lusia
Published: April 2022

The purpose of this study was to detect the IgG level of goats treated with immunogen thoracic of Musca domestica (ITMd). We reared twelve young goats aged two months old under extensive treatments, divided into two equal groups for a comparison experimental design. The animals in the first group (R0) served as the control without immunogen injection, and the second group (R1) was the treatment group receiving a subcutaneous injection of 10 mL of thoracic antigens per head. The parameter observed was IgG (immunoglobulin-G) antibody serum level. The quantification of goat immunoglobulins was carried out using a single radial immuno-diffusion (SRID) technique. The data obtained from the two groups were analyzed with a t-student test. The results showed that the total IgG antibody serum of goats in the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P< 0.05). This difference may be due to the thoracic M. domestica immunogen response which increased antibody synthesis of experiment goats. We concluded that the treatment of thoracic immunogen of M. domestica at a level of 10 µL injected subcutaneously could significantly increase IgG antibodies in goat blood which were detected using a single radial immuno-diffusion method.

Introducción: El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la asociación entre el índice cintura- cadera (ICC) y el rendimiento físico (RF) en adultos mayores. Metodología: Se realizó un diseño analítico retrospectivo utilizando la base de datos del estudio “Validación de la medida de fuerza de prensión con dinamometría digital en adultos mayores”. Resultados: Participaron 84 adultos mayores, con una edad media de 78,06 ± 8,40 años con predominio del sexo femenino (60,71%; n=51). El RF fue evaluado con la herramienta Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB), presentando la mayoría de los participantes (67,86%; n=57) un RF adecuado, y el 47,62% (n=40) tenía un índice de masa corporal dentro de los parámetros normales. La media deI ICC fue de 0,94 cm. ± 0,08. El ICC estuvo alterado en el 78,95% (n=45) y era normal en el 21,05% (n=12) de los pacientes con RF adecuado, mientras que en los participantes con RF alterado, el 22,22% (n=6) tenían un ICC normal y el 77,78% (n=21) tenían un ICC alterado. Discusión: Estos resultados sugieren que el ICC y el RF no están asociados en esta población geriátrica. Sin embargo, se encontró una relación significativa entre ICC y RF en mujeres mayores y adultos mayores entre 60 y 70 años.
Vertebrate predation and tool-aided capture of preys by savannah wild capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus)
Authors: Falótico Tiago
Published: April 2022

Vertebrate predation was a vital behavior during human evolution. Some non-human primates, such as baboons and chimpanzees, frequently hunt and consume vertebrate prey. Capuchin monkeys (Cebus and Sapajus) are omnivorous neotropical primates, and although vertebrate prey is not their primary food source, they hunt and consume those opportunistically. Bearded capuchin monkeys (Sapajus libidinosus) living in semi-arid savannah environments use stone tools to obtain food resources. Still, only one population at Serra da Capivara National Park is known to use stick probes to enhance predation. I present here data collected for two years on vertebrate predation and consumption by two groups of capuchins in this population. Sampling all observed vertebrate predation events, I observed 72 events of predation, with an overall rate of 4.6 events/100h. The most frequent preys were lizards and snakes, followed by birds and rodents, including larger ones like adult rocky cavies (Kerodon rupestris). Although rare, bats were also observed being preyed on by these monkeys. The predation of vertebrate prey, even larger ones (compared to their body size), the use of tools to aid predation, and the high terrestriality degree in the savannah environment, make robust capuchins a suitable model of hominid behavior to understand human evolution, as well as a good comparison with the Afro-Eurasian primate models.

Published: April 2022

Background: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that couldn’t be cured by drugs. Autotaxin (ATX), which is a secretory glycoprotein related to physiological and pathological processes may possibly participate in the appropriate formation of cartilage. However, the role and specific mechanism of ATX in OA remain unclear. The present study aimed to explore the metabolism of chondrocytes and the mechanism of action of ATX in OA.Results: In OA chondrocytes, catabolism increased and anabolism decreased. Inhibition of ATX triggered imbalanced metabolism according to the overexpression of a disintegrin and metalloproteinase with thrombospondin type 1 motif-5 (ADAMTS-5) and matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) and downregulation of collagen type II alpha 1 (COL2A1). Inhibition of ATX also caused the expression of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) declined while the expression of P62/ SQSTM1 and the microtubule-associated protein light chain 3- (LC3-) II-to-LC3-I ratio were upregulated which illustrated a blockade autophagic flux. The acidity of the lysosomes was dramatically enhanced according to LysoTracker green staining. Infection with Mcherry-EGFP-LC3 adenovirus and measurement of immunofluorescence were performed to detect the formation of autolysosomes. And it was observed that the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes was blocked, resulting in the obstruction of autophagic flux.Conclusions: These data indicate that inhibition of ATX expression in chondrocytes resulted in abnormal metabolism and impaired autophagic flux via blockade of autophagosome and lysosome fusion, revealing a novel mechanism that regulated chondrocytes in OA which may provide a new target for the treatment of OA in the future.
Weekend effect in summertime temperature and precipitation over the Yangtze River Delta region
Authors: Song Ziyi , Zhang Jingyong
Published: April 2022

The Yangtze River Delta (YRD) region located over East China, is an international urban agglomeration radiating Asia-Pacific with convenient transportation, advanced manufacturing industry and modern service industry. The rapid urbanization and intensive human activities have exerted substantial effects on the weather and climate over the YRD region during the past decades, thus bringing more challenges to accurate weather and climate forecasting. However, the weekly cycles of surface air temperature and precipitation linked closely to human activities and their corresponding physical processes remain insufficiently understood. Here, we investigate the weekly cycles of summertime surface air temperature and precipitation and the weekend effect over the YRD region for the period of 2008–2019 using high-resolution observational data and reanalysis data. The results demonstrate that lower surface air temperature and higher precipitation generally manifest during weekends compared to weekdays over the YRD region particularly over the areas with intensive human activities. The further analysis of the underlying physical processes points to that the aerosol-cloud-radiation interaction can largely explain the weekend effect in summertime temperature and precipitation over the YRD region.

Published: April 2022

Being a mono-economic nation, Nigeria is undergoing a tremendous economic crisis due to the increased impact of recession after the global pandemic appeared. The present scenario of COVID-19 and the prevalent economic crisis in Nigeria demand a crisis response. This study develops a crisis response theory that could help Nigeria sustain itself in the present crisis, which is deepening unemployment, poverty, and misery. Entrepreneurship is viewed as a pivotal engine for reinstating the declining economic state of a country. Thus, surveys are put together in this research from different institutions and entrepreneurial ventures to evaluate the impact of COVID-19. This research suggests possible solutions based on entrepreneurial innovativeness for a better future, as it affects Nigeria vis-à-vis its economic relationship with global economic dynamics. The pandemic has worsened the prevailing economic crisis in Nigeria. Entrepreneurship can help the Nigerian economy grow, but the deep roots of corruption and unreliable government policies make it challenging for entrepreneurs to thrive.

Background
Financial hardship is a growing problem among patients with advanced cancer and their spouse caregivers. Previous studies have shown that the cancer treatment related costs may adversely impact not only patient and caregiver financial status but also quality of life, caregiver burden, treatment adherence, and health care utilization. Financial navigation is a potential solution to help patients and families navigate the cost of cancer care. The goal of this study is to investigate whether a comprehensive oncology financial navigation program will decrease the risk of household financial hardship and lead to improvements in patient and spouse caregiver psychosocial outcomes.
Methods
We will conduct a randomized controlled trial comparing a financial literacy and navigation program (intervention) to financial literacy training alone (control) in patient and spouse caregiver dyads treated at NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) sites throughout the United States. The intervention will be administered remotely by our community partners, Consumer Education and Training Services (CENTS) and Patient Advocate Foundation (PAF). Eligible patients will be 18 years or older, English- or Spanish-speaking, and be within 120 days of a metastatic solid tumor or advanced hematologic malignancy diagnosis. Spouse caregivers should also be 18 years or older, be residing within the same household as the patient, and be either legally married or filing taxes as “married filing jointly” with the eligible patient. The intervention will be delivered monthly for 6 months. The primary study outcome is risk of financial hardship, as evidenced in patient and spouse credit reports which are collected at baseline and periodically through 12 months. Additional patient and caregiver outcomes will be assessed using questionnaires administered through 12 months.
Discussion
This is one of the first randomized studies to assess the impact of a remotely administered financial navigation program on dyadic financial and psychosocial outcomes. If the financial navigation intervention is shown to decrease financial hardship, then financial navigation should be considered a key component of high-quality cancer care. In addition, study findings would underscore the need for policy level changes to mitigate the financial impact of cancer diagnosis.

This study proposes a new process design, simulation, and techno-economic analysis of an integrated process plant that produces glucose and furfural from Malaysian empty fruit bunches (EFB). An Aspen Plus-based simulation has been established to develop a process flow diagram of co-production of glucose and furfural along with the mass and energy balances. For the production capacity of 10 kilotons per year (ktpy) of glucose and 4.96 ktpy of furfural in Malaysia, purity of 98.21 and 99.54% - weight, respectively, was achieved. The plant’s economics is analyzed by calculating the fixed capital income (FCI), operating costs, and working capital. In contrast, profitability is determined using cumulative cash flow (CCF), net present value (NPV), and internal rate of return (IRR). The FCI is calculated as Malaysian Ringgit (MYR) 81.61 million, while the working and operating expenses are calculated as MYR 11.29 million and MYR 46.92 million, respectively. This project achieves MYR 31.45 million as NPV with a positive IRR of 14.25% and return on investment (ROI) of 22.06%. As a result, a profitable integrated process plant is established with future upscaling parameters and key cost drivers. The proposed integrated process plant minimizes waste generated from the palm oil mill, resulting in a profitable and sustainable plant.
