Published: July 2024

As the demand for fatty acids increases, the enzymatic process of triglyceride hydrolysis emerges as a promising technology. Compared to microbial lipase, utilization of plant lipase is more practical due to its ease of preparation and cost-efficiency. This work aimed to verify the degree of lipolysis of several novel lipase sources from plants. Novel lipase sources investigated were seeds of kapok (Ceiba pentandra), java almond (Sterculia foetida), pongam (Milletia pinnata), sea mango (Cerbera manghas), tamanu (Calophyllum inophyllum), latex of sea mango, aveloz (Euphorbia tirucalli), and jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus). Several acknowledged plant lipase sources were also compared, i.e. seeds of castor bean (Ricinus communis), physic nut (Jatropha curcas), rice bran (Oryza sativa), latex of frangipani (Plumeria rubra) and papaya (Carica papaya). Plant lipase was utilized in the hydrolysis of olive oil at room temperature. Results for seed and latex lipase were compared and technical issues were reported. Several plant lipases are remarkably active and potential to compete with microorganism lipases in industrial applications.

Authors: Marzuki Al Araf Assadallah , Situmorang Mosgan
Published: July 2024

Article 35 of Minister of Industry Regulation No. 29 of 2017 states that besides manufacturing aspects, the calculation of Domestic Component Level (TKDN) for mobile devices may utilize an innovation-based calculation scheme. However, this policy is deemed biased as it only benefits large companies selling products without assembly in Indonesia, while their competitors have invested in local production infrastructure to fulfill TKDN obligations. This study aims to evaluate the TKDN Assessment Policy in the innovation-based calculation scheme. The research problem is whether this policy aligns with TKDN policies in Law No. 3 of 2014 concerning Industry. This research employs a normative legal approach, focusing on literature review and legislative analysis. Findings indicate that the TKDN regulation in the innovation-based calculation scheme provides flexibility for companies to meet TKDN standards more flexibly but also raises concerns about decreasing use of local components, contradicting the spirit of Law No. 3 of 2014, which promotes the use of domestic products to fulfill TKDN. Therefore, a thorough evaluation of the TKDN regulation in the innovation-based calculation scheme is needed to maintain the balance of the domestic industry.

Authors: Ariyanto Ariyanto
Published: July 2024

The development of Smart Contract in this regard can be attributed to the stability of Indonesian law, where methods for executing contracts have become increasingly sophisticated. With the rapid growth of technological developments that use Smart Contracts and the urgency of the extent to which the current laws in Indonesia can support their development, the question arises of how Smart Contract work? When does the meeting of minds occur in a Smart Contract? And, how is the fulfillment of the principle of consensualisme in Smart Contract viewed from the perspective of Article 1320 of the Civil Code? The research method in this study was carried out using a qualitative normative method .The results of this study show, Smart Contract works by running without a third party and written on the Blockchain. Second, there is a meeting of minds in the Smart Contract, where both parties who intend to bind themselves in the Smart Contract send their cryptographic encryption to commit to each other in the Smart Contract, as proof that both have mutually agreed. Third, the principle of consensualism in Smart Contract from the perspective of Article 1320 of the Civil Code shows that agreement is an essential foundation for the validity of an agreement, ensuring that each party involved has agreed to the existing provisions.

Abitudini linguistiche e inclusione nelle classi multiculturali italiane
Authors: Coin Francesca
Published: July 2024

Language proficiency is an important aspect of the social inclusion of young people from a migrant background. However, some researchers noted similarities in the level of inclusion between first‑ and second‑generation children, despite the different linguistic profile. This study attempts to deepen the analysis of this relationship through the answers to a tailor‑made questionnaire given by 135 adolescents attending multi‑cultural schools in Venice. Italian L2 is confirmed as an essential factor for inclusion, but its effect comes more from its role in the construction of cultural identity than from the opportunity to communicate.
Die Ausgrabungen im Gorbunovo-Torfmoor der Jahre 2017 und 2018 – Beiträge zum bronzezeitlichen Feuchtbodenfundplatz
Authors: Mariaschk Dirk
Published: July 2024

Das Torfmoor von Gorbunovo, in der Nähe von Nishny Tagil, ist ein seit
über hundert Jahren bekannter und erforschter Feuchtbodenfundplatz für
prähistorische organische Überreste. Er ist einzigartig bedeutend aufgrund
seiner großen Anzahl an besonderen Artefakten, die verschiedene Epochen
umfassen. Anhand der Ausgrabungsergebnisse aus den Jahren 2017 und 2018
wird versucht, eine umfassende hölzerne Struktur aus der Bronzezeit
genauer zu analysieren und Fragen zur Forschungs-, Baugeschichte und
möglichen Nutzung zu beantworten. Dabei kommen Methoden der Dendrologie
und Intra-Site-GIS-Statistik zum Einsatz. Im Zuge der Arbeit konnte ein
Bezug zu den vorangegangenen Ausgrabungen hergestellt werden. Die
Konstruktion wurde präzise datiert, und der Bauverlauf lässt sich
möglicherweise in drei Phasen unterteilen.
Rechte für Tote? Die Rechtsgrundlagen zum Umgang mit menschlichen Überresten in Sammlungen deutscher Bildungs- und Forschungseinrichtungen
Authors: Hämmerling Renée
Published: July 2024

Dieser Beitrag fasst die momentanen deutschen Gesetzesgrundlagen zusammen, die im Umgang mit menschlichen Überresten Anwendung finden können, um ihre Konsequenzen für Sammlungen von Forschungs- und Bildungseinrichtungen zu diskutieren. Ziel ist es, auch jene Sammlungen anzusprechen, welche sich nicht auf den ersten Blick als museal identifizieren. Daher soll eine grundlegende Handreichung insbesondere für anatomische, aber auch anthropologische, archäologische, ethnologische, humanbiologische und andere Forschungs-/ Studien-, Lehr- und Schausammlungen, die menschliche Überreste beherbergen, geschaffen werden.
Zudem wird für den schnellen Überblick eine Entscheidungshilfe bereitgestellt: Erste Voraussetzung für jeglichen Umgang mit menschlichen Überresten ist der Ausschluss einer rezenten Straftat. Danach müssen die Gesetze und Richtlinien, die für die jeweilige sammlungsinnhabende Institution gelten und, soweit möglich, der Wille der verstorbenen Person bzw. ihrer Angehörigen identifiziert werden, ebenso, wie die daraus resultierenden sammlungs in- und -externen Auswirkungen, um dementsprechende Maßnahmen zu ergreifen. Das Vorgehen ist immer individuell am Einzelfall zu bestimmen. Die deutsche Gesetzeslage ist ausbaufähig, da sie sich nicht explizit mit menschlichen Überresten im Forschungs- und Bildungskontext befasst, die keine freiwilligen Körperspenden sind.
Frauendarstellungen der jüngeren Altsteinzeit – Forschungsgeschichte und Interpretationen
Authors: Wolf Sibylle
Published: July 2024

In der jüngeren Altsteinzeit zwischen 42 000 und 11 700 Jahren vor heute fertigten eiszeitliche Menschen in Eurasien weibliche Figurinen. Die weiblichen Darstellungen wurden aus verschiedenen Werkstoffen wie Mammutelfenbein, Sand- oder Kalkstein, Ton, Speckstein, Kreide und Gagat geschnitzt. Die Nutzung von Elfenbein für das Schnitzen von Frauenfiguren war besonders häufig. Die Mehrzahl der Figurinen ist zumeist füllig und nahezu unbekleidet dargestellt. Ihre Körperhaltung ist introvertiert, mit nach unten geneigtem Kopf und eng an den Körper angelegten Armen. Solche Frauenfigurinen waren Teil des Alltags unserer eiszeitlichen Vorfahren. Die Forschungsgeschichte dieser Frauenfiguren wird hier dargestellt und es wird auf die Bezeichnung „Venus“ für solche Figuren eingegangen. Die erste bekannte altsteinzeitliche weibliche Figurine, das 1863 ausgegrabene „idole impudique“, wurde noch nicht als solche bezeichnet. Die Bezeichnung „Venus“ besitzt aus heutiger Sicht rassistische Konnotationen und setzte sich Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts durch. Die Frauendarstellungen sind seit ihrer Auffindung Projektionsfläche für zahlreiche Deutungen. Die Interpretationen reichen von Fruchtbarkeitssymbol über Selbstportrait oder Sexsymbol bis zu Ahnendarstellungen. Mit der Entdeckung des Fundplatzes Amiens-Renancourt 1 (F) 2014 oder der Publikation einer weiteren Frauenfigurine aus dem russischen Fundplatz Khotylevo 2 im Jahr 2018 zeigt sich, dass weiterhin mit der Auffindung von altsteinzeitlichen Figurinen gerechnet werden kann.
ВПЛИВ ТИПУ ПЛОСКОВ'ЯЗАЛЬНОГО ОБЛАДНАННЯ НА ПОКАЗНИКИ СТІЙКОСТІ ТРИКОТАЖНОГО МАТЕРІАЛУ З ВИСОКОМІЦНИХ НИТОК ДО ДІЇ МЕХАНІЧНИХ УШКОДЖЕНЬ (ПРОКОЛ СТЕРЖНЕМ ТА ПРОДАВЛЮВАННЯ КУЛЬКОЮ)

Мета. Дослідити вплив особливостей процесу формування на плосков'язальному обладнанні двох типів (з платинами та без) трикотажного матеріалу переплетення кулірна гладь з ниток підвищеної міцності на характеристики його стійкості до дії механічних ушкоджень (прокол стержнем, продавлювання кулькою).
Методика. Для визначення характеристик стійкості трикотажних матеріалів до проколу стержнем та продавлювання кулькою використано існуючі стандартизовані методи досліджень. Дослідження стійкості до проколу стержнем та продавлювання кулькою виконано на розривній машині KT–7010AZ. Шляхом реалізації активного однофакторного експерименту встановлено вплив зміни глибини кулірування на характеристики стійкості трикотажного матеріалу до проколу та продавлювання кулькою у відповідності до обраного типу плосков’язального обладнання. Для обробки експериментальних даних та побудови графіків і діаграм використано інструменти програми Microsoft Excel.
Результати. Шляхом реалізації експериментальних досліджень виявлено фактори, що впливають на стійкість розроблених зразків трикотажних матеріалів до проколу стержнем та продавлювання кулькою, а саме: вид високоміцних ниток, тип плосков’язального обладнання, глибина кулірування. Вищий рівень стійкості до досліджуваних показників механічних ушкоджень демонструють трикотажні матеріали, вироблені на плосков’язальному обладнанні без платин. При цьому встановити межу міцності трикотажного матеріалу, виробленого з високомолекулярних поліетиленових ниток, до продавлювання кулькою не вдалося, оскільки напруга перевищувала 5000Н, шкала вимірювань розривної машини складає 5000Н. Проаналізовано характер деформації дослідних зразків під впливом зусилля стержня та кульки. Проколу та продавлюванню передує руйнування окремої нитки в структурі трикотажного матеріалу. Але у випадку використання пара-арамідних ниток одразу внаслідок розриву нитки відбувається розпуск петель і руйнування цілісності структури.
Наукова новизна. Встановлено, що на величину опору трикотажного матеріалу проколюванню стержнем та продавлюванню кулькою впливає не лише обраний вид високоміцних ниток та щільність в’язання, а й наявність платин на в’язальному обладнанні у процесі петлетворення.
Практична значимість. Математичні залежності, одержані у ході реалізації активного однофакторного експерименту, дозволяють розрахувати величину опору проколюванню й продавлюванню кулькою та обрати раціональні параметри виготовлення (вид високоміцних ниток, тип плосков’язального обладнання, глибину кулірування) у відповідності до необхідного рівня стійкості трикотажного матеріалу до досліджуваних показників механічних ушкоджень.

Мета. Дослідження впливу етерів целюлози на реологічні властивості інтумесцентної вогнезахисної фарби та визначення структур загусників, які максимально удосконалюють експлуатаційні властивості лакофарбового матеріалу.
Методика. За модельну інтумесцентну систему обрано вогнезахисне покриття реактивного типу, яке містить у своєму складі поліфосфат амонію, меламін, пентаеритрит, діоксид титану та полімер. У якості полімерної складової вивчали водні дисперсії співполімерів вінілацетату від різних виробників. Як целюлозні загусники використовували гідроксіетил- та гідроксипропіл етери целюлози, які визнані найбільш вдалими модифікаторами реології фарб на основі вінілацетатних полімерів. В’язкість вогнезахисних композицій вимірювали на віскозиметрі Брукфілда, розрахунок реологічних параметрів здійснювали за рівнянням Кассона.
Результати. В дослідженні визначено вплив природи целюлозного загусника та полімеру на реологічні параметри, відповідальні за зберігання та нанесення лакофарбового матеріалу. Встановлено, що структура етеру целюлози має значення при регулюванні в'язкості досліджених інтумесцентних композицій. Найбільші значення в'язкості демонструє високомолекулярна гідроксіетилметил целюлоза (Bermocoll EM 7000 FQ). Гідроксипропіл метил целюлози є менш ефективними загусниками інтумесцентних фарб складу поліфосфат амонію/меламін/пентаеритрит/полімер. Природа полімерної складової, у свою чергу, майже не впливає на в'язкість досліджених композицій, що не містять загусника чи містять Bermocoll EM 7000 FQ. Для вивчених полімерних складових інтумесцентних композицій спостерігаються практично ідентичні реологічні профілі. Розрахунок реологічних параметрів – в'язкості при високих швидкостях зсуву, напруги зсуву, межі текучості із залученням рівняння Кассона дозволяє зробити висновок, що загущення вогнезахисних фарб інтумесцентного типу етерами целюлози є ефективним для запобігання седиментації при зберіганні та майже не впливає на збільшення товщини шару фарби, що можливо нанести за один прохід. Шляхом випробувань вогнезахисної ефективності покриттів в умовах міні-печі показано, що присутність етерів целюлози не зменшує вогнестійкість металевих пластин.
Наукова новизна. Вперше визначено вплив структури целюлозних загусників на реологічні параметри вогнезахисної фарби інтумесцентного типу, відповідальні за зберігання та нанесення.
Практична значимість. Отримані результати дозволяють визначити доцільні структури етерів целюлози, які можуть застосовуватися у промисловому виробництві інтумесцентних фарб.
НОВІТНІ СТРАТЕГІЇ РОЗВИТКУ РЕГІОНІВ: ПЕРЕХІД ВІД ЦЕНТРАЛІЗОВАНОГО ДО ДЕЦЕНТРАЛІЗОВАНОГО УПРАВЛІННЯ
Authors: Ісмаілов Алтан
Published: July 2024

Аналіз процесів зміни підходів до регіонального розвитку відбувається через детальний розгляд переходу з традиційної централізованої моделі управління до прогресивної децентралізації. У контексті сучасних викликів, зокрема триваючої війни в Україні, вивчаються можливості та переваги децентралізації як засобу підвищення ефективності управління регіональним розвитком. Особлива увага приділяється аналізу як децентралізація може сприяти активізації місцевих ініціатив, підвищенню участі громад у процесах прийняття рішень та залученню інвестицій, що в сукупності може значно покращити умови для сталого розвитку регіонів. Вивчення досвіду децентралізації в інших країнах, а також адаптація кращих практик до умов України, має велике значення для розробки ефективних стратегій регіонального розвитку, здатних відповісти на сучасні виклики та сприяти відновленню країни після війни. Гіпотеза полягає у тому, що децентралізація влади і передача більшої автономії на місцевий рівень в умовах війни може сприяти гнучкому реагуванню на регіональні виклики, активізації місцевих ініціатив та залученню інвестицій для відновлення і розвитку постраждалих регіонів. Метою дослідження є визначення стратегій ефективного розвитку регіонів через механізми децентралізації, з урахуванням викликів, спричинених воєнними діями в Україні. Для досягнення поставленої мети використовувались методи аналізу наукової літератури, порівняльного аналізу, кейс-стаді, а також методи експертних оцінок для вивчення досвіду децентралізації в різних країнах. Доведено, що децентралізація сприяє підвищенню ефективності управління, активізації місцевих ініціатив, залученню інвестицій, що є важливим для відновлення і розвитку регіонів України в постконфліктний період. Доведено, що децентралізація є ключовим фактором сталого розвитку регіонів. Важливим напрямком подальших досліджень є вивчення конкретних механізмів і інструментів децентралізації, які можуть бути ефективними в умовах війни та постконфліктного відновлення. Також актуальним є аналіз впливу децентралізації на залучення інвестицій та розвиток місцевих громад.
Una visión general del exilio argentino en Venezuela (1974-1983)
Authors: Ayala Mario
Published: July 2024

Este artículo sintetiza los resultados de mi investigación doctoral que se propuso realizar una reconstrucción histórica de la colonia de exiliados argentinos que se formó en Venezuela entre 1974 y 1983, analizando la política de asilo venezolana, las rutas de exilio, los perfiles políticos y sociodemográficos y las estrategias de acción política anti dictatorial en el contexto político local y transnacional. Hasta esta investigación Venezuela como destino de ese exilio aún no había sido estudiada en profundidad ni interrogada por la historiografía de los exilios políticos producidos por la última oleada de represión estatal y paraestatal en Argentina entre 1973 y 1983.
Does The Merger of Large Sharia Bank Work? A Study of Islamic Bank in Indonesia

Published: July 2024

In 2021, the Indonesian government merged three major state-owned Islamic banks to support the halal industry in the country. Numerous studies have analyzed balance sheet ratios to assess the conditions of Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) before and after the merger. However, the reliability of balance sheet ratios is highly contingent on the accounting method employed by companies. Consequently, this study utilizes Economic Value Added (EVA) to measure BSI's financial performance before and after the merger. The primary objective of this research is to test and provide empirical evidence regarding the effectiveness of the EVA approach in demonstrating the economic added value to BSI throughout the merger. Employing a quantitative approach and secondary data from the financial statements of BSI before and after the merger serves as the data source. The findings reveal that the financial performance of BSI before and after the merger provides economic added value to the company and aligns with stakeholder expectations. Notably, research on financial performance using EVA at BSI before and after the merger is scarce, as most studies resort to ratio analysis for this purpose. It is important to acknowledge the limitations of this research, which solely introduces EVA to assess the economic added value in financial statements. Other approaches beyond ratio analysis can be explored to measure the quality of financial statements.

The process of identifying the most appropriate robot for a particular industrial task has grown challenging and more difficult in the fast-paced environment. It is merely driven by the complex evolution and continuous integration of modern characteristics and advanced features by various suppliers. Industrial robots are now widely available in the marketplace, each possessing a distinctive collection of skills, attributes, and requirements. However, the selection of optimal robots is heavily influenced by factors such as the manufacturing environment, product design, production system, and overall cost considerations. These factors directly impact the decision-making process. The ultimate goal for the decision maker is to pinpoint and choose the most suitable robot, capable of delivering the desired output while minimizing costs and catering to the specific requirements of the industry. So, to consider it, in this paper, the hybrid structure of the Aczel-Alsina (AA) and Bonferroni mean (BM) operators for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) environment has been proposed, which can show the interrelationship between the multiple criteria and assist the expertise in decision-making (DM) process. Moreover, the algorithm and methodology for the multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problem have been defined which is further utilized by solving a real-world problem to demonstrate the effectiveness and validity of the proposed method. At last, the comparison analysis between prior and proposed studies has been displayed, and then followed by the conclusion of the result.

The social pillar strategy has various components including education, science and technology, and health. Health care in Kenya is now a devolved function under county governments. This study aims to establish the challenges facing the implementation of the social pillar strategy of the Kenya Vision 2030 in the devolved health sector in Kisumu County. In addition, the study aims to determine the strategies being put in place to address these challenges. The data used in this study are obtained by consulting experts in the considered field. The experts use a one-to-seven-point scale to determine criteria weights while the Alternative Ranking Order Method Accounting for Two-Step Normalization (AROMAN) is applied to rank the strategies. While the most critical issues are insufficient human resources for health, deteriorated health infrastructure, and shortage of pharmaceuticals and non-pharmaceuticals, the alternatives to consider are increasing investment in information communication technology (ICT), developing leadership through continuous learning, and enhancing investments in human resources and health infrastructure. To test the stability of the AROMAN method, the authors conduct a sensitivity analysis. This research not only identifies and explains the challenges associated with the establishment of sustainable healthcare devolution in Kisumu County but also significantly contributes to the body of knowledge by outlining and prioritizing the strategies required to address these challenges.
Validating the multi-dimensional structure of self-efficacy beliefs in peer feedback for L2 writing: A bifactor-exploratory structural equation modeling approach
Authors: Teng Mark Feng
Published: July 2024

The present study aims to validate a new scale, i.e., self-efficacy beliefs in peer feedback (SEBPF),using an advanced method of bifactor ESEM. Informed by sociocognitive theory and self-regulated learning, the SEBPF was designed to measure five distinct factors: self-incentives forpeer feedback, perceived use of peer feedback, confidence in peer feedback, managing stress inpeer feedback, and setting proximal goals for peer feedback. The items for the SEBPF scale weredeveloped by extracting relevant themes from published studies and conducting interviews with asample of English as a Foreign Language (EFL) student writers in China. This paper provides acomprehensive account of the developing and validating process of the SEBPF scale. Comparisonsof confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis support the criterion-related validityof a coherent 5-factor structure comprising 22 items, indicating the reliability and multifacetednature of the SEBPF scale. The findings demonstrate the robustness and practicalapplicability of the SEBPF scale in assessing EFL writers’ self-efficacy beliefs associated with peerfeedback, as well as its predictive effects on different sub-scores of writing performance. Thispaper is an empirical application of validating a new scale through bifactor ESEM. Implicationswere proposed based on the findings.
The impact of noise exposure, time pressure, and cognitive load on objective task performance and subjective sensory overload and fatigue

Published: July 2024

Introduction: Sensory hypersensitivity (SHS) refers to an increased sensitivity to sensory stimuli, often leading to sensory overload and adversely affecting daily functioning and well-being. This study examined the effects of three situational triggers—noise, time pressure, and cognitive load—on task performance, sensory overload, and fatigue. Additionally, we sought to explore the associations between these effects and SHS, while accounting for other influencing factors such as personality, coping mechanisms, and anxiety. Method: We experimentally tested 105 university students, employing a visuospatial task (the Paper Folding Test, PFT) under eight different conditions, manipulating the three situational triggers. The measured outcomes included task accuracy, average response time, sensory overload, and fatigue. Participants also completed several questionnaires: Highly Sensitive Person Scale, Multi-Modal Evaluation of Sensory Sensitivity, State and Trait Anxiety Index, Big Five Inventory, and COPE Easy. Results: Our findings indicated that sensory overload increased as more situational triggers were introduced, with noise having the most significant impact. However, this increase in sensory overload did not correspond to changes in objective performance measures, such as accuracy and average response time on the PFT, which were primarily influenced by cognitive load (i.e., easy versus difficult items). Additionally, individuals with higher levels of SHS reported greater overall sensory overload and fatigue. Nonetheless, the impact of the triggers on sensory overload and fatigue was not exclusive to those with high SHS, and neuroticism, conscientiousness, openness, and trait anxiety were significant predictors of SHS, more so than task-related outcomes. Conclusions: Feelings of sensory overload may not necessarily impair cognitive performance, and the impact of situational triggers can be similar for individuals with and without SHS. This implies that the burden of SHS and overall sensory overload may be influenced by other underlying factors leading to an elevation of baseline sensory overload, warranting further investigation.

Authors: Teka Geferso Amenti
Published: July 2024

Background: Trachoma is caused by the bacterium Chlamydia trachomatis, which is the commonest infectious cause of blindness in our globe. It can be transmitted by the discharge from infected eyes of individuals and transferred by fingers, eye-seeking flies or by clothes to the eyes of non-infected ones. Trachoma is one of the major health problems in Shalla Woreda Oromia Region, Ethiopia. Methods: Data were collected from Shalla district community base Cross-sectional study design was conducted. Dependent Variables were Knowledge, attitude and practice of women. Simple random sampling technique were used to select the total of 661 participants based on their population. Study subjects are women age group greater than equal to eighteen years. A multivariable logistic regression analysis model was fitted to identify factors associated with the outcome variables. Result: In this study, a total of 661 respondents were included, 554 (83.8%) had good knowledge, 213 (32.2%) had favorable attitude and 303 (45.8%) of respondents were had proper practice on trachoma prevention and control program. Primary level education AOD=18.83, 95% CI = 8.53-41.57 were had good knowledge than no formal education. Those individuals who had primary educational level status AOD= 20.2, 95% CI=4.91-25.06 were have favorable attitude about trachoma prevention when compared to no formal educational. Age group 35-44 years old were also significantly associated with favorable attitude than age group of people. Those individuals who had clean environmental (AOR, 16.37, 95% CI 9.8-27.38) were have proper practice about trachoma prevention than who had unclean environmental and regarding to latrine individual who had latrine (AOR, 2.36, 95% CI 1.71-3.26) were have proper practice about trachoma prevention than who had no latrine. Conclusion: Considerable numbers of people have poor knowledge, unfavorable attitude and improper practice about trachoma infection. Educational level of respondents obtained as associated factor of both favorable knowledge and attitude. Similarly, age group of 35-44 years was factors of having favorable attitude while having clean environment was obtained as factors of proper practice. Improving educational status should be provided to increase knowledge and changing attitudes that contribute for good practices towards trachoma prevention and control among communities.

Published: July 2024

Bu araştırmanın amacı, sosyal bilgiler ders kitaplarında (4-7. sınıflar) vatandaşlık değerlerinin ve becerilerinin sunuluşunu değerlendirmektir. Doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılan araştırmanın veri kaynakları, Türkiye’de okutulan 4-7. sınıf sosyal bilgiler ders kitaplarıdır. Kitaplardaki “Birey ve Toplum”, “Etkin Vatandaşlık” ve “Küresel Bağlantılar” öğrenme alanlarındaki vatandaşlık konularını vatandaşlık değerleri ve becerileri açısından değerlendirmek için Gökçınar (2022) tarafından hazırlanan “Temel Vatandaşlık Değerleri ve Becerileri Çerçevesi” kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın bulguları, ders kitaplarında vatandaşlık değerleri arasında en fazla sorumluluk ve özgürlüğe; vatandaşlık becerileri arasında ise en fazla politik ve hukuk okuryazarlıklar ile katılım becerilerine yer verildiği göstermiştir. Beceri ve değerlerin sunuluşunun yanı sıra sınıflara göre dağılımı da değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, ders kitaplarının vatandaşlık değerleri ve becerileri konusunda önemli bir içeriği sahip olmasına rağmen bazı ilişkilendirmelerin eksik kaldığına işaret etmektedir. Bu sonuçlara dayalı olarak sosyal bilgiler ders kitaplarının içeriğinin bazı vatandaşlık değerleri ve becerileri açısından geliştirilmesi gerektiği önerilmiştir.

Published: July 2024

Bir ülke ekonomisinde dış ticaretin kaynak dağılımında etkinliğin sağlanması, iş bölümü, uzmanlaşma, doğrudan yabancı yatırımları çekmek, döviz girdisi sağlamak, iç ve dış pazarda rekabeti sağlamak gibi önemli kazanımları bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca ithalat ve ihracat rakamları önemli ölçüde ülkelerin ekonomi politikalarına yön verebilir hale gelmiştir. Bu noktada dış ticaretin büyüme ve kalkınmanın sağlanabilmesi için kritik öneme sahip olduğunun farkında olan ülkeler uluslararası ticarete daha fazla önem vermektedir. Bağımsızlık sonrası merkezi planlamadan serbest piyasa ekonomisine geçiş yapan Türk Cumhuriyetleri sonraki yıllarda bölgeselleşme hareketleri kapsamında ihracata dayalı büyüme modelini benimsemişlerdir. Buradan hareketle çalışmada, Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı üyesi Azerbaycan, Kazakistan, Kırgızistan, Türkiye ve teşkilata gözlemci ülke statüsünde dahil olan Macaristan olmak üzere beş ülkede dış ticaretin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisinin panel Otoregresif Dağıtılmış Gecikme (ARDL) yöntemi kullanılarak analiz edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı üyesi olan Özbekistan’ın analize dahil edilmemesinde ise verilere ulaşmada yaşanan sorun etkili olmuştur. 1992-2022 döneminin ele alındığı çalışmada, ihracat, ithalat ve ekonomik büyüme değişkenleri kullanılmıştır. Panel ARDL analizi bulgularına göre, Türk Devletleri Teşkilatı bünyesinde yer alan beş ülkede uzun vadede ihracat ve ithalat ekonomik büyümeyi artırırken, kısa vadede yalnızca ithalat ekonomik büyümeyi artırmaktadır. Ele alınan ülkelerde ekonomik büyümenin gerçekleşebilmesi için dış ticaretin önemli etkisinin olduğu görülmektedir.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Intracranial solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) rarely recur in the spinal space. Only 4 cases of spinal recurrence from intracranial SFT have been reported; therefore, the optimal treatment of recurrent spinal SFT remains unclear.

OBSERVATIONS

A 53-year-old woman with a history of resection of a right occipital anaplastic SFT presented with progressive back and side pain. She was diagnosed with an intradural extramedullary tumor ventral to the spinal cord at the T5–7 level. She underwent tumor resection with T5–6 laminectomy and T4 and T7 partial laminectomy. The tumor was completely removed in a piecemeal fashion using an ultrasonic aspirator with careful control of bleeding. Her symptoms quickly improved after the surgery, and she returned to normal life. The tumor was diagnosed as SFT. Pazopanib was administered postoperatively. Despite the recurrence of the intracranial tumor, the patient was alive without recurrence of the spinal tumor 14 months after resection.

LESSONS

Although rare, intracranial SFTs have a risk of spinal recurrence. Complete resection of a recurrent spinal SFT can be achieved even in the ventral location. Pazopanib could be a possible therapeutic option for preventing local tumor recurrence in the management of recurrent spinal SFT.

Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

The endoscopic endonasal approach to paramedian skull base lesions has garnered increasing attention in recent reports. However, it is still a challenging approach. While the primary objective of the approach is the maximal removal of tumors through a minimally invasive procedure, discussions of the approach rarely include information about the maximum preservation of nasal structures. This study aimed to retrospectively review the clinical outcomes of patients who had undergone an endoscopic endonasal approach to paramedian lesions, describe the technical and anatomical nuances related to this approach at the authors’ institution, and discuss the maximal preservation of nasal structures.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors conducted a descriptive retrospective study of 17 surgical cases of paramedian endoscopic endonasal approaches performed jointly by otolaryngologists and neurosurgeons from August 2018 to August 2022 at a tertiary hospital.

LESSONS

The approach to the paramedian region of the skull base was examined. Creating an appropriate corridor to maximize the surgical field is essential to allow a safe and accurate procedure. From an otolaryngologist’s perspective, the endoscopic modified medial maxillectomy is an essential procedure that maximizes the surgical corridor and maximally preserves nasal morphology.

Functional precision medicine assay for recurrent meningioma: a proof of principle. Illustrative case
Authors: Shelton William J , Santos Horta Erika , Stephen Nix James , Gokden Murat , Rodriguez Analiz
Published: July 2024

BACKGROUND

Meningiomas are the most prevalent primary central nervous system tumors. Although low-grade meningiomas are considered benign tumors, a subset of these can behave aggressively, showing progression and recurrence. In such cases, functional assays could influence treatment decisions and improve patient outcomes.

OBSERVATIONS

A 78-year-old female presented with a long-standing history of a supratentorial meningioma that was initially resected and treated with Gamma Knife radiosurgery. Surveillance revealed progression. She began systemic therapy with everolimus and octreotide but was lost to follow-up and did not continue the treatment. She returned because of a rapid decline in her neurological status. Biopsy with advanced molecular characterization by next-generation sequencing revealed NF2 and CREBBP mutations, and a commercial functional assay was done. This assay successfully isolated cancer stem cells (CSCs) from biopsy cores and identified potential drugs based on cellular sensitivity profiles. This is the first reported case in which a commercial functional drug screen was used for a meningioma.

LESSONS

In cases in which meningiomas exhibit specific genetic alterations and characteristics of aggressiveness, functional assays can be a useful tool for isolating CSCs. The authors report success in obtaining drug-screen profiling for a World Health Organization grade 1 meningioma. Multimodal approaches utilizing multi-omics analyses with functional assays can improve patient outcomes.

Published: July 2024

Boron nitride nanosheets are the result of the exfoliation of hexagonal boron nitride, which contains mechanical and electronic properties that can be transferred into additives in lubricants. The resulting mechanical and electronic properties act as a protective layer that can minimize the level of friction, thereby improving the performance and efficiency of the machine. The quality of boron nitride nanosheets depends on the type of exfoliation and the size of the boron nitride. The tribology of lubricants from diesel engines and the hexagonal exfoliation of boron nitrides into boron nitride nanosheets in the study of variations in the concentration of potassium hydroxide solvent has not been much. The hexagonal exfoliation process of boron nitride is performed at a concentration variation of 0.5–1.5 M and the addition of 0 wt% and 0.5 wt% boron nitride nanosheets to the lubricant as a tribological. The characterization of the boron nitride nanosheets observed is the morphology, purity, and particle size. By contrast, the application of nanolubricants to diesel engines was observed in terms of the performance, bearing surface, and metal content of the lubricant. The data characteristics of boron nitride nanosheets are best at a concentration of 1 M with a morphological lateral dimension of 100–300 nm, a peak shift of XRD 26.7494° to 26.7485°, and a distributed average size of 322.7 nm. However, the application of nano lubricants on diesel engines is best at 0.5 wt%, with engine power performance 6.36% lower than 0 wt% and an SFOC value of 313.08 gr/kWh. But, the scratch size on bearing surfaces is larger. The content of metals indicating depletion, such as Fe and Cr, is below the maximum limit of the ASTM D585-18 standard of 127 ppm (69%) and 13 ppm (81%).

We analyzed coronal dimming parameters and their relation to coronal mass ejections to determine the location of possible ejections sources on the solar disk in the 24th solar cycle. We used Solar Demon database that contains flares and dimmings parameters obtained from SDO/AIA image. Coronal mass ejections from the CACTus database were associated with 16% of all the dimmings for the period 2010–2018. On average, dimmings associated with coronal mass ejections are events with large absolute parameter values. Correlation coefficient between dimming position angle and associated coronal mass ejection position angle is 0.96. Correlation coefficients between the coronal mass ejection speed and dimming parameters are close to 0.5 for dimmings in the central region of the solar disk. Obtained results can be used to model coronal mass ejections propagation and to define the probability of their arrival in near-Earth space.

The behavior of the main parameters of the interplanetary medium, cosmic rays, and geomagnetic activity during the passage of magnetic clouds past the Earth (465 events over the period from 1967 to 2021) has been studied. Time distributions of these parameters inside magnetic clouds are considered. It is shown that the maximum values of the solar wind velocity, interplanetary magnetic field strength, and geomagnetic activity indices are more often recorded at the beginning of the magnetic cloud, while the minimum values of the temperature index, cosmic ray density and equatorial component of anisotropy can be observed in any part of the structure under study.
Response of the lower and upper ionosphere after the eruption of Shiveluch volcano on april 10, 2023
Authors: Riabova S. A. , Shalimov S. L.
Published: July 2024

The disturbances in the lower ionosphere and in the region of the maximum of the ionospheric F2 layer during the Shiveluch volcanic eruption in April 2023 are analyzed based on data from ground-based magnetometers and GPS radio sounding of the ionosphere. The magnetic stations were located at distances of 455 km (Paratunka) and 752 km (Magadan) from the volcano. The variations in the magnetic field and total electron content of the ionosphere were studied as characteristics of the ionospheric response to this event. An analysis of the measurements showed that the impact on the ionosphere is carried out by seismic Rayleigh waves and atmospheric acoustic-gravity waves generated by volcanic explosions. The energy of several explosions was estimated from the amplitude of the ionospheric signal in the total electron content.
