Kent Güvenliği ve Düzensiz Göç Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme: İzmir’de Zenofobi ve Suç Korkusu
Authors: AVANER Tekin , OCAKLI Leyla
Published: December 2023

Türkiye, on yılı aşkın süredir çevre ülkelerde yaşanan siyasi olaylar sebebiyle kitlesel olarak göç almaktadır. Başta Suriye, Afganistan ve İran olmak üzere bölge ülkelerden milyonlarca düzensiz göçmen Türkiye’ye sığınmıştır. Kitleler halinde meydana gelen bu yoğun göç hareketleri, toplumda sosyal uyum sorunlarından kaynaklanan ya da medyada yer alan olumsuz haberlerin etkisiyle düzensiz göçmenlere yönelik olumsuz tutum ya da yargıların oluşmasına neden olabilmektedir. Yabancı korkusu olarak tanımlanan zenofobi ve düzensiz göçmenlere yönelik suç korkusu bu tutumların başında gelmektedir. Düzensiz göçün toplum üzerinde düzensiz göçmenlere yönelik zenofobi ve suç korkusu oluşturmasına odaklanan ve nicel araştırma yönteminin benimsendiği alan araştırmasında İzmir’in Konak İlçesi’nde 395 kişinin katılımıyla anket çalışması yapılmıştır. Çalışmada, katılımcıların düzensiz göçmenlere yönelik korku düzeyleri ölçülmüş, katılımcıların düzensiz göçmenleri suç oranlarının artışı ile ilişkilendirdiği ve onlarla etkileşim kurmaktan çekindikleri görülmüştür.

Aim      To identify predictors of decreased left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) using the method of speckle-tracking in gray scale one year after COVID-19-associated pneumonia in patients without ischemic heart disease (IHD), previous pulmonary embolism (PE), peripheral thrombosis, and atrial fibrillation (AF).

Material and methods  The study included 156 patients from the Prospective Registry of People After COVID-19-Associated Pneumonia, with optimal visualization quality according to echocardiography (EchoCG), without IHD, AF, history of pulmonary embolism (PE), and peripheral thrombosis. The patients underwent clinical examination in the hospital during the acute period and at 3 and 12 months after discharge from the hospital. To identify earlier predictors of LV GLS impairment, clinical, laboratory, and instrumental data obtained in the hospital and at 3 months of discharge were compared based on the presence of LV GLS impairment one year after discharge (43 patients with reduced LV GLS and 113 patients with normal LV GLS). An LV GLS value ≥18% was considered reduced.

Results At 3 months after discharge from the hospital, LV GLS impairment was detected in 34 (21.8%) of 156 patients, and 12 months later, in 43 (27.6%; p=0.211) of 156 patients. In contrast to the group with normal LV GLS, the majority of the group with reduced LV GLS were men (74.4% vs. 37.2%; p=0.001). In this group, body mass index (BMI) was significantly higher (29.9±4.3 kg/m2 vs. 28.1±4.5 kg/m2; p=0.011), and biological (11.6% vs. 2.7%; p=0.024) and hormonal therapy was administered more frequently (38.1% vs. 22.3%; p=0.049). The final predictive model for LV GLS impairment included male gender (odds ratio (OR), 5.65; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.22-14.37; p <0.001), BMI (OR, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.01-1.23; p=0.040), left ventricular end-systolic volume index (LVESVI) (OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 1.01-1.22; p=0.046) and right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) acceleration time (OR, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.95-0.99; p=0.027).

Conclusion      One year after COVID-19-associated pneumonia, a decrease in LV GLS was observed in 27.6% of patients without IHD, AF, history of PE, and peripheral thrombosis and was associated with male gender, increased BMI and LVESVI, and shortened RVOT acceleration time as measured 3 months after discharge from the hospital. The decrease in LV GLS one year after discharge was not associated with the severity of the disease, length of stay in the hospital, or biological and hormonal therapy.

Aim      A 12-month evaluation of the potentialities of the angiotensin II receptor inhibitor olmesartan (Olme) and the angiotensin receptor and neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) sacubitril/valsartan in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) and dyslipidemia in the dynamics of the following indicators of chronic heart failure (CHF): N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), LV global longitudinal strain (LV GLS) in diffuse myocardial fibrosis (MF) previously diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Material and methods  Olmesartan medoxomil (n=56) and sacubitril/valsartan (n=63) were used for 12 months in patients with hypertension, dyslipidemia and NYHA functional class II-III CHF with mid-range LVEF (CHFmrEF). MF was diagnosed by the following MRI criteria: late gadolinium enhancement and an increased proportion of extracellular matrix (33% or more). The frequency of persisting late gadolinium enhancement and the increased proportion of extracellular matrix (33% or more) was evaluated at 12 months; changes in systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), NT-proBNP, and LV GLS were evaluated after 3, 6, and 12 months of follow-up.

Results Baseline parameters did not differ between groups. The late gadolinium enhancement and increased proportion of extracellular matrix were present at baseline in all patients of both groups (100%; p=1.0). Already at 3 months, statistically significant decreases in SBP and DBP were observed in both groups. In addition, the LV GLS monitoring showed LV GLS significantly increased in both groups after 3 months and continued changing after 6 and 12 months. The NT-proBNP concentration significantly decreased in both groups already after 3 months and continued to decrease after 6 and 12 months. At 6 and 12 months, sacubitril/valsartan was superior to olmesartan in reducing SBP and NT-proBNP and in restoring LV GLS. At 12 months, the incidence of persisting, abnormal late gadolinium enhancement and increased proportion of extracellular matrix was significantly less in the ARNI group.

Conclusion      Olmesartan was demonstrated effective in the multi-modality therapy of CHFmrEF and MF in patients with AH and dyslipidemia. ARNI was superior to olmesartan in this regard, but further research of this issue is required.

Authors: Naznin Mahmuda , Hossain M. Zahid , Saha Seema , Neela Farzana Ashrafi
Published: December 2023

Background: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) is a precancerous cervical condition with the potential to develop into cervical carcinoma if untreated. While research on CIN and cervical carcinoma exists in various regions, the Rajshahi area lacks such investigations. Examining the prevalence of CIN and cervical carcinoma in this region is essential. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of CIN and cervical carcinoma in a tertiary care hospital at Rajshahi in Bangladesh.
Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted at the department of pathology, Rajshahi medical college, and the department of gynaecology and obstetrics, Rajshahi medical college hospital, Rajshahi, Bangladesh from July 2019 to June 2022. A total of 1000 VIA test-positive cases of cervical lesions were enrolled as study subjects purposively. Data were processed and analyzed by the MS office tools.
Results: Cervical carcinoma was identified through cytological analysis in 4.6% of cases, with 7.6% exhibiting high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) and 13.1% showing low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (LSIL). Through histopathological analysis, cervical carcinoma found in 5.3% of cases, CIN-grade III (CIN-III) in 7.1%, and CIN-II and CIN-I in 2.2%, 16.4% of cases, respectively. Human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination rate was 0.70%.
Conclusions: The prevalence of CIN and cervical carcinoma in the Rajshahi region of Bangladesh is alarmingly high. These findings underscore the pressing need for the immediate implementation of a comprehensive vaccination and awareness development program for cervical carcinoma.
Hematological, histopathological and oxidative stress responses to n-hexane extract of Terminalia catappa nuts in leukemia-induced Wistar rats
Authors: Batubo Nimisoere P. , Ogbu Ojeka Sunday , Victor Datonye Dapper
Published: December 2023

Background: Terminalia catappa nut possesses antioxidant and anticancer properties, but its effects on leukemia are unclear. This study investigates the effects of n-hexane extract of Terminalia catappa nut (TCN) on some hematological parameters, oxidative stress markers, and bone/spleen histopathology in a Wistar rat model of benzene-induced leukemia.
Methods: Leukemia was induced in Wistar rats with 0.2 ml/kg Benzene solution and treated with 200, 400 or 800 mg/kg/day of Terminalia catappa nut extract (TCN) for 42 days and with 5-fluorouracil (20 mg/kg) via intraperitoneal injection twice a week for 6 weeks. Hematological parameters, antioxidant markers, and bone and spleen histology were analysed.
Results: All TCN doses significantly lowered elevated WBCs by 32-53% and normalized RBC parameters compared to leukemic controls, mitigating cancer-induced anemia. TCN also exhibited potent antioxidant effects by enhancing SOD, GSH, and catalase while reducing MDA versus untreated rats. Bone marrow analysis revealed TCN conferred dose-dependent benefits on cellularity and architecture, reducing myeloid blasts and leukocyte infiltration. A near-normal bone microarchitecture was attained with the highest TCN dose. Similarly, TCN elicited marked improvements in splenic cytoarchitecture and attenuation of hypercellularity, lymphocytic infiltration and megakaryocytes compared to leukemic controls in a dose-dependent manner.
Conclusions: Terminalia catappa nut extract demonstrated anti-leukemic, haematopoietic, antioxidant, and organ protective effects in leukemic Wistar rats induced with benzene solution, supporting its potential as an adjuvant therapeutic agent.

Authors: A. Azcue Arsenio F. , Gómez Bryan M.
Published: December 2023

The palmaris longus is a muscle located on the anterior surface of the forearm, known for its significant anatomical variability. This ranges from its absence, the most common variant, to having multiple insertions or muscular bellies. The aim of the study is to highlight the uncommon anatomical variant diagnosed as an incidental finding and to contribute to the statistics of this type of pathology in our country. A case is reported involving a 14-year-old patient with no significant medical history who sustained a cut injury. Surgical exploration through the previous wound was conducted by the plastic surgery department at the General Hospital of Mexico (2023). The incidental finding revealed complete laceration of both tendons of the palmaris longus muscle, prompting the repair of both tendons. The bifid palmaris longus is a rare anatomical anomaly, not previously described in the statistics of our country. Therefore, the significance of reporting this anatomical variant as an incidental finding is noteworthy.

Bartholin gland cyst and abscess: an updated scenario
Authors: Das Shreyasee , Shil Rahul , N. Dhanpal H.
Published: December 2023

Bartholin glands are greater vestibular glands and are located on either side of the vaginal opening. They are mainly homologous to the bulbourethral or cowper’s gland in males. These two pea-sized glands secrets mucus which is essential for vaginal lubrication. Bartholin gland cysts are one of the most frequent fluid-filled masses developing in the vulval area. They may develop as cysts first without symptoms, but if left untreated, they can be infectious and can lead to surgical corrections. The incidence rate of Bartholin gland cysts and abscesses is 0.5 per 1000 people per year. In women, it mainly affects aging between 35 and 50 years. The cysts formed due to blockage of the Bartholin gland duct, which further causes retention and cystic dilation. Mainly, the disease happens due to sexually transmitted infections. Needle aspiration, incision, and drainage are the easiest and most reliable treatment options, but they are not carried out due to their high recurrence rate. This Bartholin gland cyst can interfere with the quality of life as the person can suffer discomfort in walking, difficulty in sitting and walking, and discomfort during intercourse. Most of the Bartholin’s gland cysts are also caused by the microorganisms that infect the perineal area. However, Bartholin’s cyst occurs in nulliparous women of childbearing age. Women in the reproductive age group should get counselling regarding the disease to take better precautionary measures to tackle the condition.
Facial burn in children: a review
Authors: Swain Santosh Kumar
Published: December 2023

Burns are a common cause of injury among children. Children with facial burns often experience pain, regardless of the cause, size, or depth of the burn injury. Burns in the facial area may lead to fatal consequences because of the involvement of the upper airway and cosmetic deformity of the face. Major burn injury in the facial area remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. Burn scars on the face in children may disturb the self-image and psychosocial processes. Multi-disciplinary approaches and advances in burn care are often helpful to manage the burn injury in children and increase the survival of the patients. Pain has adverse emotional and physiological impacts, and adequate pain control is an important factor in improving outcomes. The goal of the treatment of facial burns in children is to achieve a good aesthetic outcome and also normal head movement with neck mobilization.

Authors: Kamalia Putri Ulfa , Sakti Norida Canda , Wulandari Wida
Published: December 2023

Cooperatives are business entities that are in line with the economic system in Indonesia because they are based on the principle of family. So in the curriculum structure of the economic education study program there are courses in cooperative economics and cooperative management. The hope is that, after studying these courses, students can become cooperative catalysts, namely competent and committed to developing cooperatives in Indonesia. However, in reality, after conducting an initial survey of students of the 2019 economics study program, only 3 out of 81 students were members of the cooperative. The existence of cooperative courses should increase students' interest in becoming cooperative members. This research is correlational research with a quantitative approach. In this research, what was studied was the interest in cooperatives of Economic Education Study Program students. To measure each variable, namely cooperative knowledges, motivation to cooperate and cooperative images on interest in cooperatives using test instruments and questionnaires. The population in this study were students of the Economics Education Study Program. The results of this research are: 1) Cooperative Knowledge does not significantly influence interest in cooperatives; 2) Cooperative Motivation has a significant influence on interest in cooperatives; 3) Cooperative Image has a significant influence on the intention to cooperate and 4) Cooperative Knowledge, Cooperative Motivation and Cooperative Image have a simultaneous influence on the intention to cooperate.

This research is descriptive qualitative in nature using the critical discourse analysis approach of the Sara Mills model. The data in this study are Supreme Court decision documents. The subject of the research is the Supreme Court decision document, Kefamenanu district court. The object of research is decisions related to sexual violence against women in 2022 and 2023. The conclusion of this research is that Timorese women can show their existence in facing the patriarchal culture that often discriminates against their people in Timor.
Evaluating The Turkish Textbooks In Terms Of Sufficiency Of Disaster Education
Authors: Amanvermez İncirkuş Funda
Published: December 2023

This study evaluated the appropriateness of disaster-themed texts and activities in Turkish textbooks for disaster education competence. The evaluation was based on the criteria established by the United Nations International Strategy for Risk Reduction (UNISDR) for the education curricula of developing countries. The method used for the study was document analysis, with content analysis used to analyze the data. The sample of the study consists of Turkish textbooks. Expert opinion was sought for validity, while inter-rater agreement was determined for reliability (Reliability = 90%). The study revealed that the texts and activities in Turkish secondary school textbooks are inadequate in reflecting regional and local hazards, vulnerabilities, and the possible effects of disasters in terms of disaster education competence. Particularly, texts at the 6th-grade level are unsatisfactory in creating the desired behavior due to the type of text used. Furthermore, disaster risk reduction is not discussed in most of the texts, highlighting the insufficiency of Turkish textbooks. Even though disaster-themed texts are included in Turkish textbooks, they fail to create a holistic consciousness for disaster education that covers the before, during, and after aspects of disasters. As a result, it can be concluded that Turkish textbooks are inadequate in terms of disaster risk reduction and disaster education in general

The in vivo experiments show that the adenosylcobalamin cofactor in glutamate mutase and methylmalonyl-CoA mutase processes lose its dimethylbenzimidazole axial ligand before starting the enzymatic processes. Complete active space self-consistent field geometry optimization of the vitamin B12 active forms plus substrates joint models have been performed. These joint models include the adenosylcobalamin cofactor, the carboxyl negative ion model of the studied processes’ active substrates, and the histidine molecule. Partial electronic density is transferred from the highest occupied substrate molecular orbitals to the lowest unoccupied antibonding molecular orbitals, which consist of corrin ring and dimethylbenzimidazole ligand common molecular orbitals during the multi-configurational self-consistent field molecular orbital mixing process. As a result, the Co-N axial bond is permanently elongated during the complete active space self-consistent field geometry optimization until its complete rupture and until the removal of the dimethylbenzimidazole ligand from the central cobalt atom and the corrin ring is complete. The Co-N bond cleavage in the adenosylcobalamin cofactors in the studied processes is running as no energy barrier process under the influence of their active substrates and histidine molecule.
Spontaneous symmetry breaking as a law of nature
Authors: Bersuker Isaac
Published: December 2023

In a semi-review paper, it was discussed the notion of symmetry of polyatomic systems defined as invariance under transformations, and show that this important property of atomic matter is extremely vulnerable, and may undergo internal breakdown, subject to the presence of electronic degeneracy or pseudodegeneracy. First formulated by Landau, L. in 1934, later proved and published by Jahn and Teller, this Jahn-Teller effect (JTE) underwent tremendous developments with important applications in physics, chemistry, biology, and materials science. Less attention was paid to the roots of this phenomenon and its correct interpretation in the sense of its influence on observable properties. It is shown that electronic degeneracy and its extended form, called pseudodegeneracy, are actually the only source of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) in nature, including all forms of matter, beginning with elementary particles, via nuclei, atoms, molecules, and solids. Theoretically, the vulnerability of the notion of symmetry is due to the fact that, following quantum mechanics, the separation of the motion of electrons and nuclei (and, similarly, the separation of motions of elementary particles) is approximate, and hence the classical notion of polyatomic space configuration is approximate too, with SSB as one of its main violation.

The analysis of the use of hydraulic fluid power of rotation of hydraulic motor-wheels for tracked and wheeled machines was carried out. The hydraulic principle schemes for the use of high-speed axial-piston hydraulic motors with planetary gearboxes and high-torque low-speed radial-piston hydraulic motors are considered, in particular, hydraulic devices for ensuring reliable movement in the event of obstacles from the road surface. The features of static and dynamic calculation methods using a mathematical model for the numerical solution of differential equations when calculating pressure fluctuations and the frequency of rotation of hydraulic motors depending on the tasks of changing the intensity of the pump supply and the working volume of the hydraulic motor, taking into account its efficiency, are shown. A comparative analysis of the technical level of hydraulic motor-wheels was carried out and a significant increase in the output parameters of high-torque radial piston hydraulic motors with respect to pressure, rotation frequency and mass-to-torque ratio was revealed. The article may be useful for engineers, scientists and master's students.

The problem of describing the motion of a rigid body in a fluid is addressed by considering a symmetric Joukowsky foil. Within the framework of the model of an ideal fluid, the force and torque acting on an unsteady moving foil are calculated. The analytical results are compared with those obtained based on the numerical solution of the Navier – Stokes equations. It is shown that analytical expressions for the force and torque can be consistent with the results of numerical simulations using scaling and a delayed arguments.

Wheat is the largest cereal food in the world's staple food supply. The expansion of the wheat crop needs to be done through extensification efforts in the lowlands to increase domestic production. The main obstacles faced in the lowlands are the high air temperature and the intensity of sunlight. The research objective was to provide adaptive wheat mutant in the lowlands, especially in North Sumatra. The seeds of 3 varieties of wheat: Dewata, Basribey and G-21 were treated with gamma irradiation with a dose 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, and 600 Gy. Each treatment was repeated three times. The highest percentage of germination and vigor index due to the combination of treatment of wheat varieties with gamma rays was the combination of Dewata and 200 Gy which was significantly different from Basribey and G-21. Gamma irradiation treatment of 100 Gy on the three mutant wheat varieties showed differences in plant height, namely the G-21 variety, followed by Dewata and Basribey. The number of productive tillers showed significant variation between the gamma ray treatments for each mutant wheat genotype and the most productive tillers were at a gamma ray dose of 100 Gy for all wheat genotypes. The 100 Gy gamma ray treatment caused the number of seeds of the Dewata variety to be much higher than that of Basribey and G-21. The mutants obtained with the desired characters are the basic materials in assembling new superior varieties of wheat that are adaptive in the lowlands.
Attitudes and Perceptions of Filipino Clinicians and Pathologists towards the Autopsy as a Medical Tool
Authors: Acapulco-Gomez Kathrina Aseanne , Uson Irene
Published: December 2023

Background. Globally, autopsy rates have been continually declining over the course of several years. Previous studies have shown that the perception of pathologists and clinicians may serve as significant factors which may affect the performance of autopsy and contribute to its decreased rate. This study was conducted to determine the attitudes and perceptions of Filipino clinicians and pathologists toward the autopsy as a medical tool.
Methodology. This is a cross-sectional descriptive survey of two groups of physicians. Forty-four (n = 44) pathologists nationwide and thirty-three (n = 33) clinicians from Central Visayas participated in the study. A total of seventy-seven (n = 77) physicians completed a survey using a standardized online questionnaire.
Results. Of the 77 respondents, 94% of clinicians and 75% of pathologists believed that autopsies could provide relevant findings that could change future clinical practice. Despite this, only 6% of clinicians and 20% of pathologists indicated that the number of autopsy cases in their institutions was sufficient. With regards to their practice, pathologists most strongly agreed (mean = 4.30) that material for medico-legal autopsies should be readily available for teaching and research. However, they most strongly disagreed (mean = 2.00) that residents receive adequate training in performing medico-legal autopsies. The two groups of physicians surveyed determined that there is a deficiency in the number of autopsy cases.  This is further influenced by clinicians’ concerns about litigation, religious/superstitious beliefs, and the delay in releasing autopsy results. Furthermore, pathologists specified that performing autopsies was excessively time-consuming with an unjustifiable cost. Sixty-two percent of the pathologists signified more strongly than the clinicians that modern diagnostic techniques have diminished the need to perform hospital autopsies. Nonetheless, 86% of Filipino physicians acknowledged that the autopsy is an important medical tool that should be performed for patients with unknown diagnoses and unexpected death. The number of observed and/or performed autopsy cases was a major factor that affected the pathologists’ attitudes and perceptions toward autopsy.
Conclusion. In general, there is recognition of the autopsy’s usefulness as a medical tool among the pathologists and clinicians surveyed.  However, the lack of cases referred for autopsy remains a challenge undermining the benefits that are derived from its performance.

Leydig cell tumor is a rare testicular neoplasm that can present as a non-palpable small testicular nodule. Here we present a case of a 36-year-old Filipino male who initially came in for fertility work-up. Semen analysis showed azoospermia. However, an incidental finding on ultrasound showed a well-circumscribed round tumor. The patient underwent radical orchiectomy. On histopathologic examination, a Leydig cell tumor was identified and supported by immunohistochemical staining. We discuss the clinical features pathogenesis, treatment, diagnosis and prognosis of this uncommon entity.

The methylation level of the SFRP1 gene promoter is closely related to colorectal cancer. 205 stool samples were enrolled and were divided into positive and negative groups in the study. MassArray was used to screen the level of methylation on the SFRP1 gene promoter in the two groups. A random forest model was established to analyze and screen methylation sites of characteristic expression. A further 60 fecal samples were collected and divided into positive and negative groups to verify the specificity and sensitivity of the characteristic methylation sites by RT-PCR. TCGA database was used to analyze the relationship between tumor immunity and methylation sites in CRC patients. 12 differentially expressed MassArray detected methylation sites on SFRP1 promoter in colorectal cancer or adenoma stool specimens compared to normal. Random forest regression models built using the R package randomForest analysis (OOB error rate is 39.29%) located in the OOB error fastest changing area and have a good performance (accuracy: 0.757, sensitivity: 0.857, specificity: 0.696). The cg15839448, cg17816908 and cg14548509 showed better on specificity and sensitivity. Further, RT-PCR analysis showed that SFRP1_CpG_16.17.18 (cg17816908) performed best between the three CpG sites. The AUC of the ROC curve is 0.791, which was higher than the other two CpG sites. And cg17816908 is negatively correlated with prognosis and immune checkpoints with immunotherapy sensitivity in CRC patients. Our study demonstrated that SFRP1_CpG_16.17.18 (cg17816908) has a good clinical performance as a prognosis marker of colorectal cancer, and may provide a reference to immunotherapy in the clinic.
