Authors: Rosana Yeva , Inta Prilandari Luh , Ajisman Ruhsyahadati , Sarry Hartono Teguh , Yasmon Andi
Published: December 2020

Background and Objectives: Diphtheria is a potentially fatal disease caused by toxigenic bacterial infection, particularly from Corynebacterium diphtheriae (C. diphtheriae). Isolation of C. diphtheriae is technically lacking in sensitivity, and Elek’s test to detect toxin production has several difﬁculties associated with its application. Duplex real-time PCR to throat swab of suspected diphtheria patients can detect both bacteria and toxin-encoding genes simultaneously, faster, with higher sensitivity and speciﬁcity.
Materials and Methods: A total of 89 consecutive throat swabs from suspected diphtheria patients were collected from Sulianti Saroso Infectious Disease Hospital, Jakarta, during 2018 to 2019. Two pairs of primers and probes, targeting the rpoB gene of C. diphtheriae and the A-subunit of the diphtheria toxin gene, were used in this study. Parameters including annealing temperature, concentration of primers and probes, inhibitors, cross-reaction and detection limit were all optimized. Elek’s toxigenicity test and clinical data were analyzed for comparison.
Results: The optimum annealing temperature was 55°C. The concentrations of Cd primer, Tox primer, Cd probe and Tox probe were 0.4, 0.6, 0.5 and 0.625 µM, respectively. DNA elution and template volumes were 50 µL and 5 µL. The detection limit was 2 CFU/mL. No cross-reaction with other microorganisms was observed. Of the 89 samples, duplex real-time PCR gave better results than the standard test, with 19 (21.3%) and 10 (11.2%) patients diagnosed with diphtheria, respectively. Conclusion: Duplex real-time PCR increases the rate of laboratory diagnosis of diphtheria, compared to the standard method to detect potentially toxigenic C. diphtheriae.

Published: December 2020

Background and Objectives: Intestinal pathotypes of Escherichia coli belong to the companion animals may poses po- tential risk to public health following zoonotic transmission. Therefore, this study was proposed to determine the virulence genes associated to diarrheagenic E. coli strains isolated from healthy pet dogs and their owners in the southeast of Iran, Kerman province.
Materials and Methods: Totally 168 E. coli isolates were collected from 49 healthy household dogs and their owners. Sev- enty isolates were obtained from non-pet owners as control group. Presence or absence of the virulence genes including eae, stx1, stx2, st1, lt1, ipaH, cnf1 and cnf2 were screened by conventional polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and dissemination pattern of the genes were studied among the various hosts.
Results: PCR examinations showed that the most frequent virulence gene was ipaH (6.1%) in dogs followed by eae in dog owners (6.1%) and in controls (8.6%). The most frequent pathotypes in dogs, their owners and controls were EIEC (6.1%), EHEC (4.08%) and EPEC (8.5%), respectively. In one of studied houses, both of dog and its owner harbored E. coli strains with same virulence profile (stx1/eae) and pathotype (EHEC).
Conclusion: These results collectively indicate that healthy household dogs probably are the mild reservoir of potential virulent E. coli strains with possible active transmission to their contact owner. However, even non-pet owners seemed to be a notable source of intestinal pathotypes, especially EPEC, for their environment. Transmission of E. coli pathotypes may occurs by direct contact with the reservoirs or ingestion of contaminated food. These pathotypes are potentially virulent and creates public health hazards. Further studies are needed for better understanding of dissemination mechanisms of E. coli pathotypes among humans and their pets.

Published: December 2020

Background and Objectives: The microbial contamination of wastewater is associated with health risks. The aim of this study was to use the autochthonous Bdellovibrio potential to prey Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria as a bio-control agent to treat urban wastewater.
Materials and Methods: Thirty-six raw sewage samples were collected for isolation of Bdellovibrio. Double layer plaque assay was used for isolation and the isolates were identified by microscopic examination and molecular analysis. To evaluate the predatory potential for decrease number of Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria, plaque perdition assay, reduction in host cells viability by colony-forming unit (CFU) counting, reduction in optical density (OD) in co-cultures and assay of killing efficiency were carried out. Also, the raw wastewater was treated by Bdellovibrio then the reduction in CFU counting and reduction in OD was evaluated.
Results: Four strains of Bdellovibrio were isolated and were registered in Gene Bank. Clear plaques were observed after 3-6 days of incubation for all prey cells. The CFU enumerations of all preys were decreased after 48 hrs in co-cultures and raw wastewater. Also, OD was decreased down to 0.2 nm after 48 hrs.
Conclusion: These autochthonous Bdellovibrio strains are proposed to use for bio-control of Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria in wastewater and reuse it for irrigation in arid regions.

Authors: Balci Tevfik , Kocabas Rahim , Cuce Gokhan , Akoz Mehmet
Published: December 2020

Background: As obesity is increasing worldwide, obese people use various methods to get rid of excess weight. BMS309403 (A drug) is a specific inhibitor of fatty acid binding protein 4. In this study, the effects of the BMS309403 on serum biochemical markers, testis tissue spermatogenesis and apoptotic markers were investigated in male mice.
Methods: Balb/c mice (total=56, each group n=14) were divided into control, obese control, obese solvent and obese drug groups. The obese control, obese solvent and obese drug groups were fed on the high sucrose diet to lead to obesity. After the development of obesity, BMS309403 was orally administered to the obese drug group for six weeks. It was performed in testicular tissues (Johnson Score and apoptosis markers) and biochemical tests (total testosterone, sex hormone binding globulin,  inhibin-B tests and free androgen index) were used to evaluate reproductive parameters. The p<0.05 was considered to indicate a statistical significance.
Results: Serum fatty acid binding protein 4 levels were higher in obese control group and obese solvent group, compared to control (p<0.05) and obese drug groups (p<0.001). Serum total testosterone, free androgen index, inhibin-B, sex hormone binding globulin levels, testicular tissue B-cell lymphoma-2 expression level and Johnson Score parameters were lower in all obese groups compared with the control group. Inhibin-B levels and Johnson Score results were lower in obese drug group compared to other two obese groups (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Contrary to expectations, the use of BMS309403 negatively affected male reproductive parameters. Negative changes in reproductive parameters may be a result of the increased lee index of obesity.

Published: December 2020

Background: Fear of childbirth is one of the most common problems among pregnant women that can threaten their and their baby’s health. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to explore the causes and grounds of childbirth fear and the strategies used by pregnant adolescent women in Iran to overcome such fears.
Methods: In this study, which was conducted among primiparous Kurdish women in Iran, conventional qualitative content analysis was used. Data were selected through purposive sampling and semi-structured interviews. Data saturation was reached with 15 participants. The Lincoln and Guba criteria were used to strengthen the research.
Results: After analyzing the data, two main categories were resulted. The first category was fear of childbirth with subcategories of fear of child health, fear of childbirth process, fears about inappropriate medical staff performance, fears about hospital environment, and postpartum fears. The second category was strategies to reduce childbirth fear with subcategories of choosing appropriate medical centers, increasing information on childbirth, avoiding stressful sources, improving self-care, getting prepared for delivery day in advance, and resorting to spirituality.
Conclusion: Pregnancy in adult age is better than adolescent age. The women’s fear can be reduced by increasing their assurance about child health, providing appropriate training during pregnancy, explaining the whole process of childbirth and making it easier, improving the hospital environment and medical staff specialization, as well as providing appropriate conditions for further care and support after birth.

Published: December 2020

Şeref Han, Şerefname (Kürd Tarihi) adlı eserinde, Muş’un da bağlı olduğu Bedlis Mirliği’nin kuruluş tarihini Sasani İmparatorluğu dönemine kadar götürür. Şeref Han’a göre, Bedlis Mirliğinin tarihi, eseri Şerefname’yi kaleme aldığı 1597 yılından, 760 yıl geriye gitmektedir. Şeref Han, 760 yıllık hükümdarlık süresinde, Bedlis Beylerinin yönetiminde 110 yıl kadar kesinti yaşandığını belirtir. Ancak buna rağmen, on sekiz Bedlis hükümdarının ülkeyi yönetme süresinin 450 yıldan fazla olduğunu yazar. Kuşkusuz Bedlis Mirliği, 19. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğine dek varlığını devam ettirmiştir. Yaklaşık 1000 yıllık bir geçmişi olan Bedlis Mirliği, muhtemelen dünyada, aynı hanedanlığın en uzun süre ile yönettiği hükümetler arasında yer alır. Bedlis hükümdarının adına sikke kesilir ve hutbede adları okunur. Bedlis Mirliği idari, siyasi ve askeri yapılanmasıyla, vakıfları ve eğitim sistemiyle bir devlet teşkilatlanmasıydı.

Published: December 2020

Jember has a long history since prehistoric times, and is evidenced by the diversity of relics from prehistoric times to the colonial period. Historical heritage objects become important regional assets that can generate profits and have a significant effect on economic development. One idea that can be initiated is the presence of an ancient museum. Because of that, an effective marketing strategy is needed to increase the people's visit to the museum and other historical tourism. This study aims to explore how the condition of ancient sites and objects in Jember, explore how the potential of building a museum as a location for storing ancient objects in Jember, and formulating marketing strategies on historical tourism and museums as part of Jember tourism programs. This research adheres to the positivist paradigm using qualitative research methods, using a case study approach by exploring the condition of ancient objects in the Jember area in detail. The results showed that the collection of ancient objects from Jember's history varied greatly with a total of more than 600. A number of collections have been placed in the Antiquities Collection Room, with very limited maintenance, and the room conditions that are not yet representative. For this reason, museum is an alternative solution as a place to store ancient art collection, as well as a part of historical tourism in Jember. The formulation of marketing strategy departs from the concept of SWOT Analysis which is then synergized with the concept of Tourism Marketing Mix.

Religion, Suanggi, and Suicide: A Case Study in the City of Ambon from the Perspective of Religious Studies
Authors: Gaspersz Steve G.C. , Souisa Nancy N. , Latuheru Rido D.
Published: December 2020

During 2017-2019 a few cases of suicide amongst Christian teenagers in the city of Ambon have been linked to the inﬂ uence of “suanggi” that has connotations of being the representation of an evil supernatural power. By using the qualitative research method with a case study approach, the article is focused on the religious reactions of the Christian community in their understanding and rationalization of these two phenomena. Data is collected through Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and personal interviews. All collected qualitative data are analyzed by social hermeneutical analysis. The results of the study have shown that: (1) Social change that occurred amongst the people of Ambon has implications in the shift of traditional order of living values, at the same time clashes between the custodians of cultural traditions and morality (church) have occurred. (2) Within the Ambonese community, religion does not only symbolize certain systems of belief, but also becomes the institution that provides a place for the communal spirit and protects the shared morality through its teachings and the practice of its rituals. (3) The phenomena of suicide amongst teenagers in Ambon, the circulation of information concerning the inﬂuence of “suanggi”, and the reactive response of the Christian community reﬂects the clash between the insistence for social change amongst the urban communities.

Introduction. Sprain of the ankle joint is one of the most common injuries in children during sport activities. Purpose. To define MRI diagnostic value in ankle joint injuries. Material and methods. 30 patients , 18 boys and 12 girls aged 8-17 ( average age 14.6 years), were enrolled into the study. 20 of them (66.7%) were 12-14 years old, 3 (10%) - < 10 years old and 7 (23.3 %) - > 14 years old. A Philips AchievadStream 3.0 Tesla scanner was used for MRI examination. Results. MRI findings showed that 17 (56.7%) patients had damage of the anterior talofibular ligament; 8 patients had avulsion of bone fragments of the lateral ankle; 9 patients (30.0%) had partial deltoid ligament injuries. Complete rupture of ligaments was rare and was seen only in two patients (6.7%). Conclusion. MRI is a method of choice in assessing ankle injuries due to high contrast of soft tissues, high resolution and multi-planar potentials. MRI is especially useful in examining soft ankle tissue structures such as tendons, ligaments, nerves and fascia, as well as in revealing hidden / subtle bone damage.

Introduction. Cerebral palsy (CP) is the main cause of childhood neurological disability in the world. Due to the fact that the prevalence of knee contractures in children with cerebral palsy occupies the 3rd place in the structure of orthopedic pathology of the lower extremities, this topic is least covered in the scientific periodicals. Material and methods. Findings from 40 patients of the main group, aged 7-12 and having cerebral palsy (CP), were studied retrospectively. They had knee flexion contractures with patella alta. Findings of goniometry and of Gillette FAQ were analyzed before and after surgery. The Spearman coefficient was used for the correlation analysis of goniometry parameters and surgical intervention effectiveness before surgery. 35 patients having no bilateral CP damage and other diseases leading to lower limb deformities were included into the reference group. X-ray examination and goniometry assessment of a healthy limb were made in patient’s lying position on his back with passive extension; plus goniometry in a standing position with shin active extension. Results. The median of deformation angles before and after surgery was 20° and 5°, respectively (p

In Group I, patients had standard treatment (exercise therapy, isometric gymnastics, massage, apparatus therapy); in Group II, head holders were added to standard treatment; in Group III, medicamentous therapy was added to standard treatment and head holders (magnesium lactate dihydrate and pyridoxine hydrochloride, levocarnitine). The instrumental examination revealed that all studied children had phenotypic signs of syndromes of undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia and signs of pathology in the cervical spine. The average follow-up period was 24 months (6 months - 2 years). The average age of patients was 10 ± 3 years (5-17 years). Results and discussion. In order to assess the effectiveness of treatment, a comparative analysis of findings obtained at objective examinations was made before treatment and in 6 and 12 months after it. The examinations included: measurements of linear blood flow velocity in the vertebral arteries with ultrasound Doppler of the brachycephalic vessels; X-ray measurements of the cervical spine (Cruvelier joint and various displacements in vertebrae). The analysis performed has shown that the best results were registered in Group III. Conclusion. Findings obtained after catamnestic and instrumental examinations have showed that the complex treatment of cervical spine pathology, associated with undifferentiated connective tissue dysplasia in children, should include not only standard treatment (physical exercise trainings, massage, apparatus therapy) but also cervical orthoses and medicamentous therapy. Such a combined treatment has more pronounced therapeutic effect.

Authors: Ozbey Adnan
Published: December 2020

The main objective of this study is to compare the human values and psychological well-being of gifted/talented students with their peers with standard development. In addition, it aims to determine the level of relationship between human values and psychological well-being of gifted/talented students and whether human values were effective on psychological well-being. In this research, the relational survey model of quantitative research methods, which is a sub-type of the general survey model, is used. Assistance was received from 328 (59.3%) eighth-grade secondary school students in schools run by the Ministry of National Education in Izmir and Manisa and 225 (40.7%) gifted/talented students who were educated at BILSEM. To collect data, the Human Values Scale (PSI) and the Psychological Well-being Scale were used. Independent samples t-test for paired comparisons, Pearson’s product-moment correlation analysis for variable relationships and regression analysis to determine the predictive level were used. According to the t-test results, the human values and psychological well-being levels of gifted/talented students were higher than those of their peers with standard development and the gender variable did not play an effective role in the psychological well-being of gifted/talented students. As a result of the correlation analysis, a statistically significant correlation was found between human values and the psychological well-being of gifted/talented students. According to the regression analysis, human values significantly increased psychological well-being.

Authors: AKSOY Kemal , DENİZ Abdulkerim , METİN Mert
Published: December 2020

The present study analyzed the transformation of dairy cattle population and changes in yearly milk production and per lactation milk yield (1991 – 2019) in Turkey. In addition, metabolic and reproductive diseases frequently seen in high milk yielding dairy cows (HYDC) and problems causing low milk yield were investigated. The number of dairy cows, culled and sent to slaughter was investigated for the last three years in Turkey. On the other side, the cost of the most common metabolic diseases by region has been analyzed by a phone survey (40 vets were asked in different regions). The dairy cow population was 6118997 in 1991 (HYDC pure breed: 10.6% and traditional indigenous dairy breed: 55.3%). The dairy cow population reached 6580753 in 2019 (7.5 % increase compared to 1991) which consisted of pure breed HYDC of 49.4% and traditional dairy breed of 8.9%. This is a transformation in dairy cattle population in 28 years. Yearly total milk production increased by 141.2% from 8.616.412 tons (1991) to 20782374 tons (2019). Yearly milk production per lactation/cow increased from 1.4 tons (1991), to 1.65 tons (2000) and to 3.16 tons (2019) which means 17.5% and 124.3% increase, respectively. The growth of the number of HYDC pure breed and their total yearly milk production was 399.3% (650739 – 3249002) and 555.6% (1913438 tons to 12544507 tons) in 28 years, respectively. Numerous metabolic and reproductive diseases can often be observed in HYDCs due to genetic reasons as well as nutritional and maintenance mistakes during the transition and dry period which can cause economic loss related to milk yield and metabolic diseases. The treatment cost of the metabolic or reproductive diseases for the farmers was between 150-1200 TL per case. Many of the animals were sent to compulsory slaughter and culled because of these diseases. Indeed, a total of 738681 dairy cows have been sent to slaughter throughout the last three years.
ABDESTTE AYAĞI YIKAMANIN VEYA MESH ETMENİN FIKHÎ BOYUTU
Authors: AYTEKİN Mehmet Ali
Published: December 2020

Fakihlere göre abdestin farzlarından birisi ayakların yıkanmasıdır. Bu, İslâm’ın bidayetinden itibaren Müslümanların kahir ekseriyeti tarafından böyle kabul edilmiş ve bu şekilde uygulanagelmiştir. Ancak son zamanlarda akademik düzeyde yapılan bazı çalışmalarda çıplak ayağa mesh etmenin farz olduğu iddia edilmiş; gerekçe olarak da mesh ile ilgili delillerin daha güçlü olduğu söylenmiştir. Bu meselede Ehl-i sünnet ile Şîa’yı iki taraf olarak gösterip Ehl-i sünnet âlimlerinin mesh hakkındaki delilleri görmediği ve görmezlikten geldiği ileri sürülmüştür. Ahkam ile alakalı bir konu olması itibariyle mesele fıkhî açıdan incelendiğinde söylemlerin ve iddiaların ilmî olmadığı; görüşlerini ispat edebilmek için söylem sahiplerinin bazı delilleri çarpıttıkları görülecektir. Her şeyden önce bu mesele, Ehl-i sünnet ile Şîa’nın arasında değil; İmâmiyye Şîa’sı ile diğer tüm Müslümanlar arasında hicri ikinci asırdan itibaren yaşanan köklü bir ihtilaftır. Asırlardır abdest alırken ayakları yıkamanın hiçbir problem olmadığı ve günümüzde de herhangi bir problem teşkil etmediği bir coğrafyada hakikatin hilafına bu tür görüşlerin dile getirilmeye başlanması; abdestte mesh etmenin doğru, yıkamanın yanlış olduğu şeklinde bir algı oluşturulmaya çalışılması konunun fıkhî boyutunu akademik düzeyde ele almayı zorunlu kılmıştır. Bu nedenle makalede abdestte ayakların yıkanması ve mesh edilmesi, fıkhî açıdan ayrıntılı bir şekilde incelenmiştir.

THE EFFECT OF TREE SHADE AND PRUNING TECHNIQUES ON SCREW TREE (Helicteres isora Linn.) FRUIT PRODUCTIVITY IN THE NATURAL HABITAT
Authors: Pamungkas Dani
Published: December 2020

Screw tree (Helicteres isora Linn.) is a shrub species with 5 to 15 main stems where the natural distribution can be found in South Timor Tengah (TTS) regency of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) province and it is potential as a medicinal plant. The fruits are the main material harnessed for traditional medicine or jamu. Recently, little is known on fruit productivity of screw tree under shaded and open area. At the field showed that there were differences on fruit and flower production under two shade condition and the main stems. The research aimed for gaining information on the effect of pruning on screw tree fruit productivity in the natural habitat under two shade conditions on fruit productivity. Split plot design was employed with two factors which were two shade conditions (shaded under trees and open) as a main plot and the pruning techniques as a sub plot. Pruning techniques had affected significantly on the number of shoots and fruits, and there was an interaction between treatments to the number of fruits. Shade conditions had an important role on fruit production. Plants grew under open space had better fruit characteristics on fruit length (46,94 cm), fruit diameter (6,41 mm), post-harvest fruit weight (0,94 g), oven-dried fruit weight (0,89 g) and lower water content (5,57 %), compared to under shaded space 44,16 mm; 5,73 mm; 0,87 g; 0,81 g and 6,95 %, respectively for fruit length, fruit diameter, post-harvest fruit weight, oven-dried fruit weight and fruit water content.
