Published: January 2025

Gıda zincirinin tüm aşamalarında meydana gelen gıda israfı çevresel, toplumsal ve ekonomik birçok olumsuz sorunlara neden olmaktadır. Bahsi geçen bu zincirin son aşamalarından olan evsel gıda israfı önemli miktarlarda atığın oluşmasında etkilidir. Bu çalışma evsel gıda israfını azaltmaya yönelik motivasyon ve engellerin belirlenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda nitel araştırma tekniklerinden olan görüşme metodu kullanılmış ve görüşmeler (n=10) yarı yapılandırılmış form ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşmeler 17.08.2024-22.08.2024 tarihleri arasında gerçekleşmiş ve her bir görüşme yaklaşık 25 dakika sürmüştür. Görüşmeler sırasında tutulan notların dökümleri, ortaya çıkan temaları belirlemek için nitel araştırma yöntemlerine uygun olarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen veriler neticesinde tematik analiz gerçekleştirilmiş ve 3 farklı tema belirlenmiştir. Bu temalar israf endişeleri, sorumluluktan kaçış ve alternatif çözümler şeklindedir. Evsel gıda israfındaki motivasyonlara bakıldığında, günah işlememe isteği, parasal tasarruf sağlama, hayvanlarda paylaşma isteği ve yeni ürünlerde değerlendirme; engellerin ise taze ürün yeme isteği, ihtiyaç fazlası ürün satın alma, bazı ürünlerin dönüştürülememesi, her ürünün hayvanlar ile paylaşmaya uygun olmaması olduğu görülmektedir.

Brand Museum Networking in Between Criticism and Affirmation: Analytical and Critical Review for Cultural Destination Developers
Authors: YÜKSEL Sedat
Published: January 2025

This paper explores the concept of brand museum networking, examining how franchised museums such as the Guggenheim Bilbao and Louvre Abu Dhabi influence global cultural landscapes. Through a balanced analysis of the economic, social, and cultural impacts of museum networking, the study highlights both the affirmations and criticisms of this model. Critics raise concerns over cultural homogenization, commercialization, and the loss of authenticity, while proponents emphasize increased accessibility, economic revitalization, and the role of museums in cultural diplomacy. Key trends shaping the future of museum franchising include digital expansion, the adoption of sustainable practices, and the need for inclusive and participatory models that engage local communities. This study also identifies several avenues for future research, including the impact of franchising on local cultural identity, the long-term economic effects on host cities, and the use of digital technologies in extending museum experiences. Ultimately, the paper provides insights for cultural destination developers on how to navigate the opportunities and challenges presented by museum franchising in a globalized world.

Adolescents (10-19 years) constitute nearly 1/5th of total population of India. In girls it is a special period which signifies the transition from girlhood to womanhood and is marked with the onset of menarche. First menstrual bleeding â€“ Menarche usually begins between the age of 9-15 years approximately 2 to 21/2 years after the appearance of breast buds. Early menarche, defined as the onset of menstruation before the age of 10, has seen a rising prevalence in recent decades. This phenomenon has significant implications for physical, psychological, and reproductive health. There may be slight variation in individual cases because of age, that can be influenced by specific Ahara and Arogya. While modern medicine has extensively researched its correlates, potential consequences, and management strategies, the Ayurvedic perspective offers unique insights into the underlying etiologies and preventive approaches. This systematic review aims to synthesize current evidence on early menarche from both biomedical and Ayurvedic perspectives, identifying potential synergies and knowledge gaps.

Authors:   Assistant Professor, E.A.F.M., M.L.V. Government College Bhilwara., Kumar Bhalawat Pankaj
Published: January 2025

India has witnessed technological advancement and increasing adoption of artificial intelligence in the last decade. It has increased efficiency, productivity, quality, inclusivity, and competitiveness in financial services, especially in digital lending. However, there have been unforeseen repercussions as a result of increased dependency on third-party lending service providers, including misselling to financially unaware customers, concerns about compromised data security, unethical business operations, and illegal practices, while digital lendings current share of total credit in the financial system is inadequate to jeopardize financial stability, its rapid growth has significant stability implications. It is projected that increased access to digital financial services, technological advancements, and cost-effective business models would result in a parabolic rise in the share of digital lending in total credit.The bigger concern here is safeguarding customers from widespread unethical financial Activities and maintaining orderly growth. As evidenced by the pandemic-driven rise of digital lending, unrestricted extension of financial services to retail customers is vulnerable to a slew of conduct and governance challenges. The mushrooming rise of technology companies that extend and support financial services has made the regulatory function more difficult. Given the ease of scalability, anonymity, and velocity enabled by technology, it has become critical to handle existing and potential dangers in the digital lending ecosystem while not inhibiting innovation.ULI will prove a safeguard for customers who are not very aware of digital frauds and it will also protect the customers from the cobweb of higher interest rates. The Paper presents an eagle view of the digital lending landscape and the significant importance of ULI. The paper also reveals why ULI is needed despitethe presence of hundreds of financial, non-banking financial institutions in India.

The objective of the Study:

1. To examine the present status of the Digital lending market in India.

2. To examine the need for Unified lending interface (ULI) in India.

Urolithiasis in young children is a rare condition requiring particular attention due to its potential complexity and the necessity of an individualized treatment approach. This article presents a case study of a 5-year-old child treated for urolithiasis following acute lymphoblastic leukemia therapy.

 Case report. A 5-year-old boy presented at Ilyinskaya Hospital with right ureteral obstruction. Ultrasound performed due to abdominal pain revealed dilation of the kidney’s collecting system (calyces up to 12 mm, renal pelvis up to 16 mm) and the proximal ureter (up to 6 mm) on the right side. A solitary calculus obstructing the right ureter was identified via computed tomography. The child underwent emergency surgery, including cystoureteroscopy, lithoextraction from the right ureter, and placement of an internal stent. The postoperative period was marked by infectious complications, which were effectively managed. The internal stent was removed on the 6th postoperative day. The patient remained under hematology and nephrology follow-up, with no recurrence of urolithiasis reported.

Conclusion: This study emphasizes the necessity of a comprehensive approach in managing pediatric urolithiasis, including careful monitoring and appropriate treatment, particularly in the presence of underlying conditions that may exacerbate or contribute to the disease. Special attention is given to adequate postoperative care and prevention of recurrence, which are essential for a favorable outcome and minimizing the risk of stone reformation.
Current issues in the prevention of chickenpox and herpes zoster in pregnant women
Authors: Koltsova I. V. , Kisteneva L. B.
Published: January 2025

Chickenpox during pregnancy can lead to life-threatening complications for the mother and various forms of intrauterine infection. The rising incidence of varicella in the Russian Federation, low rates of immunization, lack of pre-pregnancy screening for antibodies to human herpesvirus type 3, and the availability of vaccination only at the pregravid stage contribute to the epidemiological involvement of pregnant women. Low public awareness about the possibility of varicella immunoprophylaxis, along with insufficient caution among healthcare professionals regarding the potential risks of chickenpox during pregnancy, also exacerbate this issue. The solution to this problem is based on an active approach to chickenpox prevention to create a safe environment for pregnant women and to develop unified standards for post-exposure prophylaxis of chickenpox in pregnancy.

The incidence of malignant neoplasms associated with solitary thyroid nodules is higher in children than in adults. The diagnosis of nodular thyroid pathology in pediatric practice clearly requires particular attention. Clinical history should include an assessment of risk factors for malignant tumors and a family history. Thyroid tumors are observed in certain syndromes, such as Carney complex, familial adenomatous polyposis, and Cowden, DICER1, Werner, McCune–Albright, and Li–Fraumeni syndromes. This article presents a case of a highly differentiated thyroid tumor diagnosed in a 15-year-old boy. The distinct morphological features of the postoperative tissue indicated the need for molecular genetic testing in this patient. Genetic analysis revealed a mutation in a gene responsible for regulating cellular apoptosis, suggesting a diagnosis of Cowden syndrome in the patient. Cowden syndrome is a rare disorder associated with a mutation in the PTEN gene, characterized by multiple hamartomas in various organs. PTEN gene mutations lead to lesions in the skin, mucous membranes, thyroid gland, and fibrocystic mastopathy.

Their Cup of Tea Emotions and Drinking in Victorian-Era Literature
Authors: Kobaliani Lile , Souza Raquel Correia de , Ferreira Felipe Jacob
Published: January 2025

Victorian society, characterised by industrial expansion, economic growth, and a strong emphasis on imperialism, was equally renowned for its adherence to tradition and a preserved way of life, in which personal and collective emotions were often kept beneath the surface, rather than openly expressed. However, as art always mirrors the Zeitgeist, Victorian-era literature has not failed to identify such nuances.The goal of this article was to explore the connection, from a digital humanities perspective, between drinking habits and emotional expression in Victorian literature, focusing on alcoholic beverages but also other drinks like tea, coffee, and lemonade. Our study uncovered patterns that reveal how drinking practices shaped personal and social emotions. Thecorpus of analysis consists of ten major Victorian novels through distant reading methods and sentiment analysis conducted in R.We observed that emotions related to drinking were largely negative, with alcohol playing a significant role in how emotions were portrayed. Interestingly, almost half of the passages reflected negative emotions, challenging the common belief that Victorian literature often leans toward more positive expressions.The findings also suggest that drinking was closely tied to both public and private emotional experiences, mirroring larger societal concerns about morality, social status, and gender in the Victorian era. This research offers a deeper insight into how emotions are represented in Victorian literature and points to the need to explore furtherthe links reflected through art, between emotions, drinking behaviours, and gendered social norms during this period, which can have significant comparative relevance to modern-day

Authors: Sari Ade Zayu Cempaka , Kartasasmita Arief Sjamsulaksana , Herman Herry
Published: January 2025

Background: Incompetent and inadequate human health resources lead to a declining quality of health services. A quality assurance education system is needed to provide good quality training for healthcare workers. National competence tests are part of the guaranteed measurement of quality education. This study aimed to explore individual student factors that influence the failure to pass the competence test on the nursing competency test.Methods: This research is qualitative research with a phenomenological approach. Data collection using snowball sampling techniques by conducting in-depth interviews in an unstructured manner. The subject of the research was 7 alumni of the DIII Study Program Poltekkes Kemenkes Bengkulu who never passed the competence test. The analysis used is thematic analysis.Results: Individual factors influencing the failure to pass the competence test are low learning interest, low motivation, lack of self-confidence, anxiety, and inability to work on competence tests. This lack of self-confidence involves not understanding how to answer questions, not taking studying seriously, asking challenging questions, and not studying enough. Informants' lack of enthusiasm in studying was caused by them taking things too lightly, believing they would undoubtedly pass, there was a GPA point evaluation, they were lethargic, spent too much time on their cell phones, and were preoccupied with final assignment reports. The majority of respondents stated that they did not feel motivated to study to pass the competency test. Anxiety is frequently felt during tests since students do not comprehend the strategies for answering questions and the time is too short. Aside from that, they are not meticulous in answering the questions because they are in a rush.Conclusion: There are 5 individual factors influencing the failure of students to pass the competence test. Knowing the individual factors that can affect the lack of competence test, the educational institution can optimize the student's self factor following the competency test.

Published: January 2025

Background: Medical education aims to create professional doctors through standardized methods according to the needs of public health services. A doctor must have a professional attitude and ability as a form of professional responsibility. Professionalism is often associated with professional identity, where professionalism is deemed necessary to be supported by professional identity. This study aims to determine the relationship between perceptions of professional identity and medical students’ professionalism level.Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a faculty of medicine in Indonesia.  The respondents were medical students from 3 cohorts: 2019, 2020, and 2021. The data analysis used the Spearman correlation test.Results: A total of 276 respondents consist of 94 (34.1%) male and 182 (65.9%) female respondents. The mean scores for the professionalism level for batches 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively, were 160.23, 160.83, and 162.07. The mean scores for the perception of professional identity for batches 2019, 2020, and 2021, respectively, were 86.89, 89.26, and 89.18. The Spearman correlation test results showed there was a relationship between the professionalism level and perceptions of professional identity (p <0.001; r = 0,508), but there was no relationship between the professionalism level and study period (p = 0.081; r = -0.105).Conclusion: There is a relationship between perceptions of professional identity and the professionalism level of medical students.

Published: January 2025

Background: Student academic achievement in the first semester tends to be low and will increase the following semester. Many factors, including academic readiness, can influence this. Students have a diverse academic readiness, whereas a higher level of academic readiness would result in higher academic achievement. Previous research stated several factors shaped academic achievement in offline learning; however, online learning needs further exploration.Aims: Researchers aimed to discover the factors of academic readiness that affect students' academic achievement in online learning models during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: This research is a descriptive-analytic observational study with a cross-sectional approach. All dimensions were measured using a validated Academic Readiness Questioner direct translation questionnaire and using secondary data. Partial Least Squares with Structural Equation Model techniques using the Smart-PLS version 3.0 application were employed for data analysis.Result: This study produced an excellent, robust model with a GoF value > 0.36. Path analysis shows that all O-samples are positive with t statistics > 1.97, so these factors significantly positively affect academic readiness, except for the reading behavior dimension. Academic achievement is influenced by academic readiness, with R2=15.4%.Conclusion: Students' academic readiness positively and significantly affects academic achievement. Student academic readiness during online learning is shaped by achievement motivation orientation, goal orientation, integrated support, learning efficacy, M-score, social and economic conditions, number of credits, and reading behavior.

Authors: Du Hanghang , Cai Peian , Jiao Xuan , Liu Chang , Tian Hai , Chen Wei
Published: January 2025

Objective: Valves replacement is the only strategy for aortic valve stenosis (AVS) treatment. A comprehensively understanding about pathogenesis of AVS would be helpful for individualized treatment of AVS in the future.
Methods: The mRNA profiles of Normal and AVS samples were harvested from the Gene Expression Omnibus database. The differently expressed genes (DEGs) were identified via limma package. Among the DEGs, the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) logistic regression and random forest (RF) analysis were utilized to identify the biomarkers for AVS. Cibersort package were used to assess the difference of infiltration levels of 22 types of immune cells between Normal and AVS groups. Besides, the most significant immune cell was also evaluated by RF analysis. The relationships between the identified biomarkers and immune cells were assessed via correlation analysis. Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) of single genes was conducted to reveal the potential mechanisms involved by the biomarkers. And the DGIdb database was utilized for the drug prediction for the crucial biomarkers. Results: There was a total of 543 DEGs including 315 up-regulated and 228 down-regulated DEGs. Among them, CXCL5, COL4A3 and EPB41L4B were the significant biomarkers of AVS. The T cells CD4 memory resting and activated, plasma cells, M0 macrophages, T cells regulatory (Tregs) and neutrophils were the significantly infiltrative immune cells in which neutrophils was the most important immune cell type in AVS. CXCL5 could regulate all significantly infiltrative immune cells involved in AVS development, while COL4A3 and EPB41L4B only mediated the neutrophils in AVS. Moreover, ECM receptor interaction, focal adhesion, chemokine signaling pathways and insulin signaling pathway were the main mechanisms involved by the biomarkers. Collagenase clostridium histolyticum and Ocriplasmin was the potential drug for COL4A3.
Conclusion: The infiltration of neutrophils mediated by CXCL5, COL4A3, and EPB41L4B may be a pivotal mechanism of AVS.
Interfaces entre o pensamento conservador, elementos políticos e grupos civis religiosos na revista "Catolicismo"
Authors: Lanza Fabio , Rodrigues Raíssa , Piovani Luan
Published: January 2025

Objetivando contribuir para o campo de estudos sobre o pensamento conservador no Brasil e seus diálogos com grupos religiosos, o presente artigo, fundamentado nas elaborações de Karl Mannheim e Norbert Elias, compreende que há um processo de pensamento conservador amplo, que se desenvolve historicamente e está entrelaçado a elementos sociopolíticos e culturais do país, dos quais derivam correntes de pensamento e com os quais grupos civis religiosos dialogam, entre eles os envolvidos com a revista Catolicismo. Nesse sentido, foi realizada uma pesquisa de revisão bibliográfica, com atenção ao período de abertura política brasileira, verificando possíveis relações entre a transição política, a permanência de grupos militares e a manutenção e preservação de correntes de pensamento derivadas desses grupos, por parte de grupos civis religiosos envolvidos com a difusão de conteúdo. Através de pesquisa documental em meios eletrônicos, para analisar publicações referentes à revista Catolicismo, observou-se que essa busca por legitimidade para suas manifestações se dá por meio da difusão de conteúdos que relacionam três elementos: uma cosmovisão do "ser cristão", o dever de combate ao comunismo e a participação/contribuição de grupos políticos nesse processo.

Authors: Dantas Silva Júnior Marcelo , Carneiro Marcelo , Duarte de Souza Sandra
Published: January 2025

O artigo aborda a diaconia no pensamento paulino, especialmente no contexto de Romanos 16:1-2. A partir da perspectiva de gênero, Febe é tomada como exemplo bíblico da plausibilidade da participação feminina em cargos de liderança eclesiástica. Além disso, aspectos históricos, exegéticos e sociais são considerados e examinados a fim de compreender o contexto do vocábulo diákonon (diácono) nas culturas judaica, grega e romana. Os argumentos contrários e favoráveis à diaconia também são levados em conta ao longo do artigo. Por fim, aponta-se um retorno às Escrituras e a Cristo como chave hermenêutica, para que a igreja possa atuar como um agente inclusivo na sociedade.
