Authors: Kim Sooyoun , Lee Daesik , Lee Eun Joo , Kim Jayoung , Ji Eun Sook ,   The Korean Society of Special Education
Published: October 2023

This study developed a situation-based disability awareness measurement tool to consistently measure the level of disability awareness from elementary to high school students and convert it into a standardized score, and then used it to measure and index disability awareness. To do it, the ‘Situation-based Disability Awareness Scale’ was developed through two Delphi surveys of 20 inclusive education experts, content validation, preliminary survey, and main survey. The scale was developed for elementary school students, middle and high school students, and teachers. For students, the scale consists of four constructs: perspective, knowledge, practice, and emotion, and for teachers, the remaining three items except emotion. Then, the ‘School Disability Awareness Index’ was derived from the data collected by applying it to 1169 elementary school students, 687 middle school students, 734 high school students, and 329 teachers. The average disability index score of the three groups was 59.86 out of 100. By school level, elementary school students were significantly higher than middle and high school students, and by gender, female students were higher than male students. For teachers, however, there was no difference in their background variables, including gender. When comparing across variables, both students and teachers had the highest score in the Practices construct and the lowest score in the Knowledge construct. The development of a school disability awareness index can contribute to effective education for disabilitiy awareness and policy development by assessing the current level of disability awareness in each school and identifying the weakest part.
특수교사가 지각한 사회적 지지와 소진 관계: 체계적 문헌 고찰 및 메타 분석
Authors: Oh Hyejeong ,   The Korean Society of Special Education
Published: October 2023

Social support is significantly correlated with burnout of special education teachers, but mixed results have been shown depending on which aspects of social support and burnout were investigated. Therefore, this study systematically reviewed and meta-analyzed the correlations between social support and burnout based on the overall characteristics and specific dimensional characteristics of these two variables. In nine selected studies comprising 1,940 special education teachers, overall social support was negatively and moderately related to overall burnout and three burnout dimensions. Regarding the types of support, emotional support was especially important in burnout reduction, but more research is needed because of an insufficient number of previous studies. Among the support sources, support from administrators and colleague teachers in particular was an essential correlate of burnout. Practical implications for special education teachers, the limitations of this study, and directions for future studies are suggested.
Desulfurising Fuels Using Alcohol-Based Deep Eutectic Solvents Using Extractive Catalytic Oxidative Desulfurisation Method
Authors: Saini Nisha , Yadav Pooja , Singh Kuldeep , Ghosh Prasenjit , Singh Rajkumar
Published: October 2023

Removal of sulfur compounds from transportation fuels is a requirement in the worldwide effort to reduce emissions from transportation fuels. Refineries use the hydrodesulfurisation (HDS) process to reduce sulfur compounds in fuels. However, the HDS process requires high hydrogen pressure and temperature, making it costly. An alternative to the HDS process is oxidative desulfurisation via solvent extraction, which requires low-temperature operating conditions. In this regard, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) are attractive for researchers to desulfurise transportation fuels via solvent extraction due to their low-cost. In our study, DESs were synthesised using phenylacetic acid (PAA) and salicylic acid (SAA) as hydrogen bond acceptors (HBAs) and tetraethylene glycol (TTEG) as hydrogen bond donor (HBD) in the mole ratio of 1:2. DESs were characterised by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. Physicochemical properties of DESs, such as density, viscosity and refractive index, were also measured. The synthesised DESs were used to extract organosulfur compounds from model fuel and actual diesel. An oxidation study was carried out for model fuel and diesel, followed by solvent extraction using these synthesised DESs. The extraction efficiency for PAA/TTEG(1:2) and SAA/TTEG(1:2) was achieved as 50.16% and 38.89% for model fuel at a temperature of 30°C using a solvent to feed ratio of 1.0 while for diesel, it was 38% and 37%. However, it increased to 77%, 68% and 54%, 73%, respectively, for PAA/TTEG(1:2) and SAA/TTEG(1:2) when the feedstocks were oxidised. These results showed better extraction performance of DES PAA/TTEG(1:2) than that of SAA/TTEG(1:2) at low temperature 30°C using combined extractive catalytic oxidative desulfurisation. Hence, the DES synthesised using SAA and TTEG in the molar ratio of 1:2 works better as an extraction solvent for removing organic sulfur compounds from fuels at low temperatures.
Inelastic Neutron Scattering Studies of Propene and 1-Octene Oligomerisation in H-ZSM-5

Published: October 2023

Neutron scattering methods such as quasielastic neutron scattering (QENS) and inelastic neutron scattering (INS) have been used to study the reactivity of propene and 1-octene over the acid zeolite catalyst H-ZSM-5. The high activity of the catalyst causes the alkenes to form linear oligomers below room temperature. INS has shown that the reaction proceeds through a hydrogen-bonded intermediate. Studies using propane as an inert analogue for propene have found that the adsorbed C3 molecules spend much of their time undergoing short jumps within the pore channels of the zeolite. Hydrothermal dealumination plays an important role in determining the activity of zeolite catalysts. Dealumination was found to delay the onset of catalytic activity for oligomerisation to higher temperatures and increase the mobility of hydrocarbons within the zeolite, both due to reduced acid-hydrocarbon interactions.
A Review of the Sources, Environmental Behaviours and Human Health of Atmospheric Microplastics
Authors: Zhang Bowen , Zhu Rencheng , Wang Yunjing
Published: October 2023

The article places emphasis on the latest advancements in this field, particularly focusing on indoor and outdoor microplastic (MP) pollution, including their emission, behaviour and potential health hazards. Gaining an in-depth understanding of these factors is crucial for devising effective strategies to mitigate the impact of microplastics (MPs) on human health and the environment. Indoor MP abundance is generally higher than outdoor levels, with textiles serving as a primary source of indoor airborne MPs. Traffic-derived MP particles, MP fibres in residential areas, agricultural plastic mulch, marine MPs and landfill sites appear to be contributors to outdoor atmospheric MP pollution. Factors such as wind direction, wind speed, precipitation and snowfall, along with the physical characteristics and secondary suspension of MPs, collectively influence their behaviour, distribution and fate. Inhalation and ingestion constitute the main exposure pathways for airborne MPs, potentially leading to health issues like respiratory inflammation. Therefore, gaining a deeper insight into the behaviour and impact mechanisms of atmospheric MPs aids in formulating effective risk management strategies to safeguard human health and maintain environmental sustainability.
STABILITY OF THE INTERFACE OF LIQUIDS OSCILLATING IN A VERTICAL FLAT CHANNEL
Authors: Kozlov Victor G. , Vlasova Olga A. , Dyakova Veronika V.
Published: October 2023

The stability of an oscillating interface between two immiscible low-viscosity fluids of different densities in a vertical flat channel with a harmonic change in the liquid flow rate is studied experimentally. The limiting case of high dimensionless oscillation frequencies when the layer width exceeds the thickness of the Stokes layer is considered. It is found that a standing wave with a length significantly exceeding the gap width develops on the oscillating interface upon reaching a critical amplitude. It is shown that the discovered oscillations are gravity-capillary waves similar to Faraday ripples oscillating with the frequency of the driving force. The wavelength is determined by the interface oscillation frequency and the gravity acceleration and agrees well with the wavelength of gravity-capillary oscillations of the interface. A description of a new phenomenon is given.
BIO-INSPIRED CORRUGATED AIRFOIL AERODYNAMICS UNDER EXTERNAL TURBULENCE AT LOW REYNOLDS NUMBERS
Authors: Biradar G. S. , Khan Majid Hassan , Bankey Sumit , Mishra Abhishek , Joshi Ganapati , Agrawal Amit
Published: October 2023

Particle image velocimetry measurements have been undertaken to investigate the aerodynamic performance of bio-inspired corrugated airfoil under the influence of external turbulence. The study is motivated by the gliding flight of dragonflies and its relevance to bio-inspired corrugated wing design for micro air vehicles. The detailed flow-field measurements are undertaken at 6% turbulence intensity for six angles of attack (± 5°, ±10°, and 15°). The low Reynolds number regime from Re = 1200 to 13,200 corresponding to dragonfly flight has been covered in the current study. The aerodynamic performance of the corrugated airfoil is evaluated by obtaining drag and lift coefficients using modified wake survey method and Kutta-Joukowski theorem, respectively. The calculated Cl and Cd are compared with available literature, and it is noted that the performance of corrugated profile airfoil degrades significantly under the influence of external turbulence. The temporal wake obtained from the mean velocity fields is also presented for better visualization of flow dynamics. The findings of the study indicate that the performance of corrugated airfoil under external turbulence is strongly influenced by angle of attack at lower Re.

Published: October 2023

Soilbag cushion is one of the promising base isolation methods to reduce seismic energy transfer from ground to building structure. In this study, a series of shaking table tests were conducted comparatively on foundation models with soilbag cushion and sand cushion to evaluate their dynamic performance. The test results indicate that soilbag cushion could significantly reduce acceleration response and accumulated settlement compared to sand cushion. And the relatively smaller amplitude of dynamic lateral earth pressure measured on contact surface of soilbags within soilbag cushion also indicates its stability during oscillation. The advantages of soilbag cushion for energy dissipation and damping are more easily highlighted under the condition of high-acceleration, high-frequency or high uniformly distributed load. The dynamic performance of soilbag cushion is dependent on embedded depth and thickness. It is most effective for soilbag cushion to be arranged near the rigid footing of building structures; it is suggested that the number of layers of soilbag cushion be controlled on the premise of the designed ratio of the thickness to the width of soilbag cushion ranging from 0.125 to 0.4 for low- or middle-rise masonry buildings in practical engineering.

Significance Statement

Accurate diagnosis of a patient's underlying cause of CKD can influence management and ultimately overall health. The single-arm, interventional, prospective Renasight Clinical Application, Review, and Evaluation study assessed the utility of genetic testing with a 385 gene kidney disease panel on the diagnosis and management of 1623 patients with CKD. Among 20.8% of patients who had positive genetic findings, half resulted in a new or reclassified diagnosis. In addition, a change in management because of genetic testing was reported for 90.7% of patients with positive findings, including treatment changes in 32.9%. These findings demonstrate that genetic testing has a significant effect on both CKD diagnosis and management.

Background

Genetic testing in CKD has recently been shown to have diagnostic utility with many predicted implications for clinical management, but its effect on management has not been prospectively evaluated.

Methods

Renasight Clinical Application, Review, and Evaluation RenaCARE (ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05846113) is a single-arm, interventional, prospective, multicenter study that evaluated the utility of genetic testing with a broad, 385 gene panel (the RenasightTM test) on the diagnosis and management of adult patients with CKD recruited from 31 US-based community and academic medical centers. Patient medical history and clinical CKD diagnosis were collected at enrollment. Physician responses to questionnaires regarding patient disease categorization and management were collected before genetic testing and 1 month after the return of test results. Changes in CKD diagnosis and management after genetic testing were assessed.

Results

Of 1623 patients with CKD in 13 predefined clinical disease categories (ages, 18–96; median, 55 years), 20.8% (n=338) had positive genetic findings spanning 54 genes. Positive genetic findings provided a new diagnosis or reclassified a prior diagnosis in 48.8% of those patients. Physicians reported that genetic results altered the management of 90.7% of patients with a positive genetic finding, including changes in treatment plan, which were reported in 32.9% of these patients.

Conclusions

Genetic testing with a CKD-focused 385 gene panel substantially refined clinical diagnoses and had widespread implications for clinical management, including appropriate treatment strategies. These data support the utility of broader integration of panels of genetic tests into the clinical care paradigm for patients with CKD.

Effect of selected pesticides on the orientation of entomopathogenic nematodes (Rhabditida: Heterorhabditidae and Steinernematidae)
Authors: ULU Tufan Can
Published: October 2023

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) play a crucial role in biological control, but they can be also applied together with pesticides. Therefore, the compatibility of pesticides with EPNs and the influence on their behavior significantly affect field success. This study investigated how selected pesticides (Deltamethrin, Imidacloprid, Pendimethalin, 2,4-D, and Boscalid + Pyraclostrobin) affect the orientation behavior of three commercial EPN species. Trials were conducted using steel olfactometers followed by the assessment of EPN dispersal ratios after 24 hours. The study was conducted in the Laboratory of the Plant Protection Department, Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Sciences, Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University between 2022 and 2023. According to the results, while nearly all pesticides exhibited a significant impact on the dispersal behavior of EPNs, the most notable effects were observed in the trials involving 2,4-D and Imidacloprid. These two pesticides demonstrated both repellent and attractive effects on different EPN species. The impact of other pesticides was comparatively negligible. All EPN species exhibited higher orientation towards larvae than the control application. The orientation behavior displayed variations depending on the pesticide type and the EPN species involved. It is expected that this study will contribute to our understanding of the relationship between EPNs and pesticides, and ultimately enhancing the efficacy of EPNs.

Authors: Bhuse Kruttika , Chaubal Tanay V. , Bapat Ranjeet
Published: October 2023

Displacement of dental implants into the maxillary sinus is an uncommon complication during implant placement. Here we present a case report of retrieval of dental implant displaced in the maxillary sinus with modification of Caldwell-Luc technique. A 35-year-old man presented to our institution for replacement of the maxillary right first molar using dental implant. At the point of final tightening of the implant, it suddenly got displaced into the maxillary sinus. The displaced dental implant was retrieved by performing a modification of the Caldwell-Luc technique which utilises gravitational force, saline as a vehicle and a tight-fitting suction tip in the surgically created lateral window. He was also instructed in coughing and sneezing techniques. Medical and dental professionals can utilise this technique effectively when advanced equipment such as endoscopes are not available to retrieve dental implants displaced in the maxillary sinus and it also preserves significant amount of alveolar bone in comparison to the traditional Caldwell Luc technique

Amerikan Tiyatrosunda Arap Toplumuna Bakış: ‘Çeşitli Birleşim’ Oyununda Tektipleştirici Söylemlerde Niyet Okumak
Authors: ÖZSEVER Kenan
Published: October 2023

Amerika çeşitli ırk, din ve etnik kökenden bireylerin oluşturduğu kozmopolit bir ülkedir. Bağımsızlığının ilanı ve uluslararası politikada ulus-devlet olarak tanınmasının ardından Amerika, özellikle 19. Yüzyıldan itibaren aldığı göçler neticesinde çok kültürlü bir topluma dönüşmüştür. Ancak bu çok kültürlü yapı, beyaz Amerikalılar (White Anglo-Saxon Protestant) tarafından zenginlik olarak değil, bir problem olarak görülmeye başlanmıştır. Beyaz Amerikalıların ulusal güvenlik sorunu olarak yorumladığı bu görüş günümüze değin varlığını sürdürmüş ve Amerikan toplumunda azınlıklara karşı tektipleştirici söylem ve tutumun ortaya çıkmasına neden olmuştur. Etnisite çeşitliliğine yönelik bu tektipleştirici yaklaşım birçok sanat alanında olduğu gibi tiyatro sanatında da karşılık bulmuş ve oyunlara konu olmuştur.

11 Eylül saldırılarının ardından Amerikan toplumunda bazı alışkanlıklar değişmeye başlamıştır. Ev buluşmaları ya da kapalı mekânlarda düzenlenen akşam yemeği partileri bu durumun en önemli göstergesidir. Çeşitli Birleşim (Omnium Gatherum) oyunu da saldırılar sonrası Amerika’da popüler hale gelen akşam yemeği partilerinin bir örneğinin temsilidir. Oyunda, Amerikalı bireylerin saldırılar sonrasındaki fikir ve görüşleri sorgulanmaktadır. Oyun kişileri, mikro ölçekli Amerikan toplumu görüntüsü sunan biyografik kişilerdir. Bu çalışma, Amerikan Tiyatrosu’nda 11 Eylül saldırılarının konu alındığı Çeşitli Birleşim oyunu ile sınırlıdır. Çalışmada çeşitli ırk, etnik köken ve sınıftan Amerikalıların saldırılar sonrası Araplara bakışındaki değişim ve bu değişimin Çeşitli Birleşim oyunundaki tezahürü ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır.

The effect of boron amount in the electrolyte on the corrosion properties of Ti45Nb coated by PEO
Authors: VANGÖLÜ Sebahattin Yenal , BAYRAK Özgü
Published: October 2023

Developing more biocompatible biomaterials with mechanical properties similar to those of cortical bone has long been a challenge for scientists. They are still working on new alloys and coating processes to meet this challenge. Among these biocompatible materials, ß-titanium alloys, which will prevent stress-shielding and have a Poisson’s ratio very close to the cortical bone, have been attracting the attention of scientists for a long time. In addition to this, the PEO method, which makes it possible to embed ions into the oxide layer, has also come to the fore in recent years as a surface treatment in order to increase the corrosion resistance, wear resistance and biocompatibility of biomaterials and also to provide antibacterial/antimicrobial properties. In this study, Ca and P-containing oxide layers with two different boron content and no boron content were successfully formed on Ti45Nb ß-titanium alloy substrate by using the PEO method. Surface characterization and corrosion resistance tests of these layers were carried out. The obtained results were compared with each other and with the uncoated substrate. XRD analysis showed that the coatings are primarily composed of two major polymorphs of TiO2, anatase and rutile. Static electrochemical measurements were made in diluted Foetal Bovine Serum (FBS) and hydrogen peroxide added serum. H2O2 was added to simulate the inflammatory state in the body. The measurements showed that all the coated samples had lower corrosion current densities compared to the uncoated ones both in serum and H2O2-added serum.
FEATURES OF AGRICULTURAL ACTIVITIES OF GERMAN SETTLERS AND THEIR INFLUENCE ON THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF UKRAINIAN LANDS AT THE END OF THE 18th – BEGINNING OF THE 20th CENTURY
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Kyiv, Ukraine, Cherepkova Snizhana
Published: October 2023

The article compares the social composition of the first colonists on the South of Ukraine and in Volhynia based on the analyzed reasons and preconditions of the state policy of resettlement of foreigners in the middle of the 18th century. A connection is established between the German colonization of the South of Ukraine and the settlement of German settlers on the territory of Volhynia. The natural, climatic and geographical conditions on the South of Ukraine and in Volhynia became the basis for determining the main types of agricultural activity of the colonists. There are agriculture and animal husbandry among them. The agriculture of the German settlers on the South of Ukraine and in Volhynia differed in many respects which was determined by climatic conditions. The biggest differences were observed in the farming system as well as in horticulture and gardening. German colonists in Volhynia due to the similarity of geographical and climatic conditions with their historical homeland didn’t have to change their traditional farming system radically that allowed them to share Western agricultural traditions with the local population to the greater extent than on the South of Ukraine. Although primarily the agricultural activities of the German settlers on the South of Ukraine didn’t meet the expectations of the emperor due to difficulties caused by climatic conditions in the second half of the 19th – early 20th centuries the colonists’ economic position strengthened which had a positive effect on the main types of their agricultural activities. Finally German colonists both on the South of Ukraine and in Volhynia actively contributed to the economic development of the regions.

Bu çalışmada internet bankacılığı ile banka karlılık performansı arasındaki uzun dönemli etkileşimler araştırılmıştır. Analizlerde Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinin 2005-2014 dönemini kapsayan verileri kullanılmış ve Pedroni eşbütünleşme testleri ardından da hata düzeltme modeli tahminleri yapılmıştır. Banka performans ölçütleri olarak ROA ve ROE oranları dikkate alınmıştır. Analizler bütün örneklemle sınırlı tutulmamış, Euro Area ülkeleri ve bunun dışındaki üye ülkeler olarak iki alt örneklem de analiz edilmiştir. Daha önceki benzer çalışmaların bulguları, Avrupa ülkelerinde banka karlılığı ve internet bankacılığı arasında kısa dönemli etkileşimler olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu çalışmada ulaşılan bulgular ise, banka karlılığı ve internet bankacılığı arasında uzun dönemli ilişkinin sadece Euro Alanı dışındaki AB üyesi ülkelerde mevcut olduğunu göstermiştir. Ekonomik ve finansal yapıları daha gelişmiş olan Euro Alanına dahil ülkelerde internet bankacılığı piyasası belirli bir olgunluğa ulaştığından banka karlılığına uzun dönemli etkilerinin olmaması doğal görülebilir. Buna karşın Danimarka, İngiltere ve İsveç haricinde Euro Alanı dışındaki birlik üyeleri için internet bankacılığı piyasası gelişme aşamasındadır ve bu nedenle karlılıkla uzun dönemli bir denge ilişkisi gözlenmesi şaşırtıcı değildir.

Отмена или подмена культур? Язык как территория конфликта
Authors: Терешина Наталия Михайловна
Published: October 2023

В статье обсуждается трансформация значений слов, возможные когнитивные искажения традиционных концептов при моделировании социального мира, подмена концептов. Рассматриваются возможные последствия этого феномена в онтологическом ракурсе, а также возникновение вызовов для социума (изменение этической оценки явлений, семантический сдвиг, столкновение культур и т. д.).

Появление новых слов часто связано с подсознательной этической оценкой события как одной из составляющих восприятия. При этом необходимо отметить, что эта оценка, в основном, негативная, вскрывающая распространение уже довольно жестких тенденций в политкорректном (как принято считать) английском социуме.

Оценивается эффективность действия защитных механизмов языка в пространстве социума. Подмена традиционных и появление новых концептов затрудняют понимание и скрывают истинный смысл, что представляет собой своего рода психологические манипуляции, заставляющие человека сомневаться и / или сделать неправильный выбор. Автор приходит к заключению, что при этом социальные представления и, соответственно, «лексическое» поле мышления полностью реинтерпретируется в сторону искажения. Выявляются конфликтные тенденции взаимодействия культур и языков на данном этапе.
Nessi intertestuali tra la novella del Decameron su Guido Cavalcanti e il decimo canto dell’Inferno nella Commedia di Dante
Authors: Rusconi Fabrizio
Published: October 2023

Con questo articolo si vuole proporre una lettura intertestuale della nona novella della sesta giornata del Decameron di Giovanni Boccaccio, che vede protagonista il poeta e filosofo Guido Cavalcanti. A una lettura attenta della novella sono emersi molti e decisivi elementi di contatto tra questa e il decimo canto dell’Inferno nella Commedia di Dante, tanto da far pensare a un debito creativo diretto dell’autore della novella dal canto summenzionato. Il protagonismo del filosofo nonché amico di Dante nella novella del Decameron sembra infatti dialogare con l’evocazione che ne fa il padre, Cavalcante de’ Cavalcanti, nel canto degli eretici. In questo articolo si vuole investigare la complessa intertestualità esistente tra i due testi anche alla luce della condanna all’eresia epicurea e averroista che sembrerebbe interessare padre e figlio.

Purpose — to study the dynamics of accommodative asthenopia (AA) in patients with visually stressful labor (VLT) after laser keratomileusis in situ (LASIK) with different degrees of myopia. Patients and methods. There were 300 patients with VLT under supervision, divided into three groups of equal age and gender, corresponding to weak (up to 3.0 diopters, 100 patients, 200 eyes), medium (3.25–6.0 diopters, 100 patients, 200 eyes) and high (6.25–8.0 diopters, 100 patients, 200 eyes) degrees of myopia. All patients underwent objective accommodation using the Righton Speedy-I device (Japan) with further calculation of the coefficient of microfluctuations of the ciliary muscle of the eye (CMF). Diagnosis of the type of AA was carried out according to the following indicators: with CMF less than 53.0 rel. un. — asthenic form of accommodative asthenopia (AFAA); at CMF from 53.0 to 58.0 rel. un. — NORM; at CMF more than 58.0 rel. un. — habitual excess tension of accommodation (PINA). The survey was carried out before and three months after the operation. Statistical analysis of the results of the study was performed on the basis of the rate of occurrence (in % of the total number of eyes) of different dynamics (before-after surgery) AA (NORM-NORM; PINA-PINA; AFAA-AFAA; NORM-AFAA; NORM; PINA-AFAA; AFAA-NORM; AFAA-PINA). Results. The change in the form of AA varied from 2 % (APAA-PINA) to 18 % (PINANORM), averaged 15 % and was not statistically significant. The results obtained naturally reflect the state of AA as an adequate physiological response of the accommodative system of the eye to long-term, intense visual work with a fairly high level of responsibility for the result. Based on the above situation and the patient’s desire to maintain (in some cases even increase) the volume of daily visual load after the operation, it is unlikely to expect a significant improvement in the state of accommodation. Conclusion. LASIK with different degrees of myopia in patients with VLT has practically no effect on the dynamics of AA and requires a complex of therapeutic and restorative measures based on the development of methodological principles from the standpoint of a differentiated approach to the form of AA and the basic provisions of medical rehabilitaton.

Son zamanlarda hızla gelişen, kitleler üzerinde etkisini artıran sosyal medya, marka iletişimi alanında kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Müşterilerle iletişim kurma ve bilgilerine erişimin yanında sosyal medya; maliyet, zaman, ikna etmedeki başarısıyla markaların ilgisini çekmeyi başarmıştır. Sosyal medyanın bu yönünü keşfeden markalar, bireyleri ikna etmek için onları üstün kılacak farkı ortaya koymaya gerek duymaktadır. Kitlesiyle etkileşimde bulunmak, kendini tanıtmak, imaj oluşturmak içinde sosyal medyada retoriğe başvurmaktadır. Markaların sosyal medyadaki paylaşımlarının bir kısmında retorikten yararlanıldığı muhakkaktır. İkna edici iletişim olarak da görülen retorik günümüze kadar farklı amaçlarda kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda markaların sosyal medyada retorikten fazlasıyla faydalandıkları görülmektedir. Çalışma, markaların sosyal medyada kitleleriyle iletişim kurarken retorikten nasıl faydalandığını incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Nitel araştırma yöntemi kullanılarak akademisyen, reklamcı, kurumsal iletişimci ve marka danışmanları üzerinden yarı yapılandırılmış derinlemesine mülakat ile deneklere açık uçlu sorular yöneltilmiştir. Ulaşılan veriler Nvivo 20 uygulamasıyla analizi yapılarak alana katkı sunulmaya çalışılmaktadır. Gerçekleştirilen araştırmada markaların sosyal medyada istemsizcede olsa retorikten faydalandıkları görülmüş ve global markaların, Türk markalarına göre retoriği etkili şekilde kullandıkları sonucuna varılmıştır.
INFLUENZA VIRUS AND CHOLESTEROL: TOUCH POINTS
Authors: Barkovskaya Antonina
Published: October 2023

Abstract---This review considers the observations concerning the interactions of influenza virus with cholesterol and consequences of these interactions for both the virus and a host cell. There are at least two crucial “touch points”, when IFV deals with cholesterol: first, cholesterol is required for influenza virus entry into the cell. Second, during budding, when new viral particles form their envelopes from plasma membrane of the infected cell, selectively acquiring “raft lipids”, cholesterol and sphingolipids. One possible mechanism ensuring selective accumulation of cholesterol in the viral envelope is the presence of cholesterol-binding motifs (CRAC motifs) in protein M1 and possibly other viral proteins involved in this process. These motifs could be responsible for binding of cell membrane´s cholesterol by the viral protein. The important role of cholesterol in the influenza virus life cycle raises the possibility that lowering cholesterol levels in host cells (e.g., with statins) can be useful in reducing influenza virus infectivity and productivity. However, lowering cholesterol in cell membranes below an optimal level may not be compatible with normal cell function. There is experimental evidence that CRAC-containing peptide derived from influenza virus protein M1 is indeed cytotoxic, and that extraction of membrane cholesterol with mbCD lowers the concentration of the peptide´s cytotoxic effect by an order of magnitude. In the conditions of reduced cholesterol, any infection with enveloped virus sequestering cholesterol from cell membranes may be detrimental, as further lowering cholesterol level in cell membrane during virus budding may lead to cell damage or death. Perhaps to minimize the virus infectivity and the consequences of the massive virus budding, advantageous can be alternative approaches, such as a search for and design of agents that would selectively interfere with cholesterol-dependent virus–cell interactions and inhibit them. Understanding the mechanisms and consequences of these interactions should be useful in the developing of new antiviral drugs.
Quantifying Vagal Upload Time to measure recovery from COVID
Authors: Smith Im
Published: October 2023

At Roseville Wellness Group, a Sydney holistic health care centre, 23 post-Covid patients who presented with persistent post infective symptomatology were identified. They all received primary treatment with auricular management using an Evo Premio Laser and secondary support treatment with body acupuncture dependent on the findings at the auricle at that time point. The vascular autonomic signal which is a physiological phenomenon locating dysfunction and distress for the brain and body was used at the auricle to locate vagal dysfunction and subsequent correction. Baseline Vagal Upload Times were measured in 23 post-COVID patients to assess the functional status of their Liver, Lungs, Kidneys and Spleen. Access was via the auricular branch of the vagus located at the concha. The patients were treated weekly and their Vagal Upload Times recorded. Recovery from COVID was associated with a reduction in upload time which decreased over the occasions of measurement for all participants and significant decreases were recorded from the start of treatment to the final session. Patients described improved ability to function, clearing of their brain fog, reduction in their chronic cough and also resolution of their vertigo or balance issues when the upload time reduced to less than 20 seconds per auricular point.
