Dünya genelinde iş yapma usulleri değiştikçe işletmelerin faaliyetlerine ve mevcut durumlarına ilişkin bilgilerin sunumu ve açıklanmasını sağlayan muhasebe standartları da değişim göstermektedir. Söz konusu standartlar, işletmelerin finansal raporlama faaliyetlerinin kalitesini ortaya koymakta ve dünya çapında farklılıklar göstermekle birlikte yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Türkiye’de 2017 yılında Büyük ve Orta Boy İşletmeler için Finansal Raporlama Standardı’nı (BOBİ FRS) uygulama zorunluluğu getirilmiştir. Bu durum, işletmelerin yeni standarda göre finansal tablolar hazırlamasını ve finansal bilgiye ihtiyaç duyan paydaşlara net ve doğru bilgiler aktarmasını beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu doğrultuda bu çalışmada, Muhasebe Sistemi Uygulama Genel Tebliği’ne (MSUGT) ve BOBİ FRS’ye göre hazırlanmış olan finansal tablolar arasındaki farklılıkları tespit etmek ve her iki uygulamaya göre hazırlanmış finansal tabloların finansal analizlere olan etkisini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. İşletmenin finansal durum tabloları rasyo yöntemi ile analiz edilmiş ve BOBİ FRS’nin finansal oranların sonuçlarına etkileri incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, likidite oranlarına ilişkin MSUGT ve BOBİ FRS arasında bir farklılık olmadığı, finansal yapı oranlarından sadece borçlanma katsayısı oranı bakımından MSUGT ve BOBİ FRS arasında bir farklılığın olduğu belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada incelenen tüm oranlar dikkate alındığında, MSUGT ve BOBİ FRS arasında en büyük farklılık net çalışma sermayesi devir hızı oranında ortaya çıkmıştır.

Published: August 2022

In an environment of intense change, where the boundaries of marketing are expanding day by day, trust and loyalty towards brands affect the success of brands. There may be sociological factors underlying this sense of trust. It is important to examine these sociological elements in order to make marketing activities customer-oriented, as required by the new age. In this context, the main purpose of this study is to examine the role of consumer ethnocentrism, xenocentrism, and cosmopolitanism -which are sociology-based concepts- in the effect of brand origin on attitude towards advertisement and trust in advertisement. For this purpose, a 2x2 between-subjects experimental design was established in the study. Therefore, data were collected from 237 undergraduate students via two separate surveys, which included two different advertisement images emphasizing Turkey and France origins. According to the results of the study, perceived inferiority -which is one of the dimensions of consumer xenocentrism- and consumer ethnocentrism have a moderating effect on the relationship between brand origin, attitude towards advertisement, and trust in advertisement. However, results also show that consumer social aggrandizement -one of the dimensions of consumer xenocentrism- and consumer cosmopolitanism do not moderate the aforesaid relationship. It is expected that the study will make theoretical and practical contributions.

Published: August 2022

In this paper, it is debated that identity is more a matter of practicality than a philosophy in the colonial and postcolonial world. There is a detailed delineation on cultural as well as cross cultural identities, given to migrants living in a metropolis. The researcher has focused on transnational English Novel The Black Album written by Hanif Kureishi in 1995.  Philosophies and critical notions concerning hybridity and cultural globalization are focused and it is argued that migration is also a part of a transnational culture. The researcher through dominant discourses on culture and identity of globalized nations has explored the selected literary writing. The purpose is to find out whether English literature particularly literature writing on migrants are also dealing with same philosophies of identity or they are promoting diverse issues. The research has concluded that no doubt cultural purity is significant and essential to survive but, in a metropolis, where multiple nations are living, this cultural purity must be guarded with ambivalence when question of multiple identities arises. The research has explored different factors that are involved in globalization of different cultures and then promote cultural hybridity with an influence on identity of an individual, and community, or a culture.

Published: August 2022

It has been the tradition in the history of nations that whenever some powerful invasion occurs, the history and heritage of the inhabitants got in danger. The invaders try to shape the heritage of controlled people in their own way.  From the dark ages till present, there has been observed great influence of the colonizers over their dependent and weaker colonies. The impacts of “Anglo-Normans or French literature” on English history, is its best evidence. As the controlled people are being tended to believe that the ruling powers are civilized possessing great knowledge, remarkable history and marvelous heritage. The local people have to depend on them for learning their language and adopting their styles. In this way, the imperialist got succeeded in making such nations not only physically and geographically but also mentally slave. This mental slavery is more painful as it lasts for many generations. They are being tamed in every aspect of life which rips down their true history and identity. It has not only been the technique of imperialists but even the rulers of any free nation adopt the same method to get a noble recognition in the history. The original and true history of such nations disappears as it has always been reframed by the emperors to get their good names.  But the fact is that history never dies though it is removed from the scene for some time. When such colonies get freedom, the revival of the history and heritage of such nations occurred that help them to assert their identity at world level. There are some departments which consider it their responsibility to revisit and present the original history by uncovering all the artificiality from its face. The purpose of present study is to highlight the struggle of Pakistani theatre named “Ajoka” for the renaissance of Sub-continental History and Heritage in Ajoka Plays and Performances.

Published: August 2022

The establishment and development of new pathogenic races is a constant problem, because chemical pest control is both expensive and ineffectual. Nanomaterials have lately been proposed as a potential alternative for reducing plant diseases and crop protection. Agricultural methods usually include the systematic administration of a variety of active chemicals at varied dosages and frequency, resulting in a variety of selective regimes. Crop protection is critical in the production of food all over the world. Nanotechnologies are being employed more and more to maintain traditional crops and to develop novel crops with superior qualities. Pollen magnetofection and gene nanocarriers are two nanobiotechnologies that are now being used to improve pest, weed, and disease management, as well as agricultural genetic modification. Traditional crop pest, weed, and disease management has been greatly enhanced thanks to a better understanding of the synthesis of nanomaterials with extraordinary capabilities. Plant germination, growth, and crop protection have all been proved to benefit from nanoparticles in agriculture. The enhanced specific surface area of nanomaterials benefits fertilisers and insecticides. Nanomaterials have also been developed for a variety of applications such as medical, medication delivery, electronics, fuel cells, solar cells, food, space, and so on. This chapter outlines recent attempts the use of nanotechnologies in agriculture in novel ways that could assist meet rising food demand while also ensuring environmental sustainability.

Published: August 2022

In non-ovariectomized female dogs, breast tumors are the most frequent neoplasms. There are several points where canine and human breast tumors have clinical and molecular similarities. BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes have been extensively studied in both species. Regarding dogs, alterations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 have been identified in the development of breast tumors in different breeds. In this work, it was proposed to study exons 22 and 23 of the BRCA1 gene and exons 11 and 27 of the BRCA2 gene, in female dogs. It was studied two groups of female dogs, with or without mammary tumors. Regarding the genetic study of 15 loci, six were polymorphic, all of them were singles nucleotides polymorphisms (SNPs), while the other nine were monomorphic. It was obtained a low allelic variability, but at the population level, the tumor group has greater variability than the control group. On the other hand, the different analyses of possible groupings were negative, and it was not possible to clearly define groups with the parameters it was used. The foregoing may be a consequence of numerous factors such as characteristics inherent to the populations studied, such as the size of both populations; the breeds studied; tumor diversity. As it was mentioned before, the genes studied in this work have been widely related to breast cancer, both in humans and in dogs. In the former, they have been highly implicated in hereditary tumors. In dogs, it do not have that information. In the present case, it was founded no relationship between each of the markers studied and the occurrence of mammary tumor between the problem group and the control group.

The Present study was carried out to determine the effect of feeding graded levels of Moringa oleifera leaf meal on performance and caracas characteristics of broiler chicks. Two hundred day-old unsexed Ross chicks were allotted randomly to four treatments in a 4x5x10 arrangement. Four experimental broiler rations, (NRC, 1994), semi-isocaloric  semi- isonitrogenous  were formulated with ascending levels of  Moringa oleifera leaf meal, (MOLM), replacing performed total protein content of the diet percentagewise as 0, 2.5, 5 and 7.5% and designated as A, B, C and D respectively with ration A serving as control. Rations were allotted randomly to the four treatments. Experimental feeding was continued for 45 days on ad libitum basis, allowing for an initial adaptation feeding period on the control diet for one week. First three days of the adaptation week utilized the pre-starter ration. Experimental diets were then fed each to its respective group till the end of the experiment feeding period.

Feed intake, body weight gain and feed conversion ratio (FCR) were recorded on weekly basis. At the end of the experiment, 10 birds from each group were selected randomly and slaughtered for carcass characteristics and dressing percentage.

Live weight, weight gain, FCR, weight after cleaning and dressing percentage all showed significant differences (p<0.05) except (p>0.05) for the daily and total voluntary feed intake and protein intake. In all carcass cuts, no significant differences (p>0.05) were found except (p<0.05) in the left side and neck.

The present study indicated that supplementation of MOLM to broiler diets had positive effects on body weight gain, dressing percentage and carcass cuts when used up to 7.5% of the ration.

In this work, we prove the existence of a solution for the initial value problem of nonlinear fractional differential equation with quadratic perturbations involving the Caputo fractional derivative ( cDα0+−ρt cDβ0+)(x(t)f(t,x(t)))=g(t,x(t)),t∈J=[0,1],1<α<2,0<β<α( cD0+α−ρt cD0+β)(x(t)f(t,x(t)))=g(t,x(t)),t∈J=[0,1],1<α<2,0<β<α with conditions x0=x(0)f(0,x(0))x0=x(0)f(0,x(0)) and \\x1=x(1)f(1,x(1))x1=x(1)f(1,x(1)). Dhage's fixed-point the theorem was used to establish this existence. As an application, we have given example to demonstrate the effectiveness of our main result.

Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome in pediatric patients with graft-versus-host disease is rare.

Case Report: We present an 18-year-old male with graft-versus-host disease referred for chest pain, electrocardiogram abnormalities, and troponin leak. Additional risk factors for acute coronary syndrome included chronic steroid use, elevated triglyceride/low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels and cannabis use. A catheterization revealed >90% occlusion of the left coronary artery and he underwent successful percutaneous intervention.

Conclusion: Given the overall rarity of acute coronary syndrome in pediatric patients, it may go unrecognized and underappreciated as a significant cause of morbidity in those with graft-versus-host disease.

A alopecia androgenética é a causa mais comum de perda progressiva de cabelo. Geralmente ocorre em pacientes com predisposição hereditária para esse tipo de alopecia e com androgênios circulantes. O padrão feminino da alopecia androgenética é caracterizado pelo afinamento difuso dos cabelos, poupando a linha de implantação frontal, e costuma iniciar-se entre a terceira e a quarta décadas de vida da paciente, com progressiva piora após a menopausa. Na fase inicial pode haver queda de cabelos seguida de redução da densidade capilar central do couro cabeludo. Nessas pacientes, além da avaliação da alopecia, é importante observar sinais de hiperandrogenismo. Vale ressaltar ainda que pacientes portadoras dessa patologia, possuem o seu psciológico e suas relações interpessoais afetadas, fatores esses que acabam afetando negatividamente a sua qualidade de vida.
Study of CRP correlation with microalbuminuria in diabetic patients
Authors: Anuradha N
Published: August 2022

Background: The pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease are similar, suggesting that vascular inflammation can play a role in kidney dysfunction, especially in diabetic patients. We hypothesized that C-reactive protein (CRP), an easily assessed and commonly used marker of early kidney injury, is positively correlated with microalbuminuria. Materials & methods: This cross-sectional study included sixty diabetic patients attending the outpatient department of general medicine from Jan 2018 to March 2019. The subjects were divided into four age groups, namely <30 years, 31-40 years, 41-50 years, and >50 years. Blood samples were taken in the morning after 8 to 12-hours of overnight fast. FBG, HbA1C, and CRP levels were measured, and data were analyzed. Results: The study consisted of 60 patients (32 males and 28 females), most of the patients were in the 41-50 years age group (46.6%), and 38% were >50 years of age. Fasting blood glucose was significantly higher (p- 0.036) in patients with microalbuminuria than in normoalbuminuria. In addition, an inflammatory marker, CRP, was significantly higher in diabetic patients with microalbuminuria (14.24±7.21) than control diabetics without microalbuminuria (6.28±3.38.

Klebsiella pneumoniae is an adaptable pathogen that forms biofilms on a variety of surfaces. This study's objective was to identify the presence of fimbrial genes (types 1 and 3) in K. pneumoniae strains isolated from various clinical sources based on their antibiotic resistance and ability to form biofilms. According to identification utilizing the vitek 2 technology and confirmation by molecular identification targeting the 16S rRNA gene with a particular primer, forty isolates were identified from clinical specimens. The vitek 2 compact system was utilized to evaluate the antibiotic susceptibility of all the isolates. The findings revealed a range of resistance percentages, including 52.5% for Penicillin, 40.5% for Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole, 34.5% for Cephalosporins, 6.25 % for Fluoroquinolones, and 2.5% for each of Carbapenem, Aminoglycoside, Tetracycline, and Nitrofurantoin. The 96-well microtiter plate technique was utilized to generate biofilms. The results demonstrated that all 40 Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates (100%) produced potent biofilms. In order to identify the genes involved in biofilm formation (fimh & mrkd) and the genes responsible for adhesin in type 1& type 3 fimbriae using traditional PCR method, eleven isolates were chosen for molecular analysis that are powerful biofilm makers and MDR.

A common disease, Osteoporosis (OP), is characterized by a systemic impairment of microarchitecture and bone mass that causes in fragility fractures. The medical and socioeconomic influences of postmenopausal OP will increase, meanwhile, oxidative Stress (OS) and inflammation are play an important role in this disease. The intracellular antioxidant vitamin (C ;VitC) is important for a variety of biological functions, and prevents of inflammation and OS. The purpose of this study is investigation the impact Vit C in this silent disease. Total of (150) individual samples were included ; 50  individual for each group (apparently healthy individual samples as control group, Osteopenia patients , and OP patients ). These three groups were classified according to the T-Score obtained from the DEXA scan. The vitamin was measured by ELISA immunological method while several biochemical parameters including calcium (Ca++), phosphorus (Phos), total protein (TP), and uric acid (UA) were measured using autobiochemical analysis. Results showed significantly decrease in Vit C in two patients groups when compared with control  group but the difference was non-significant  between the two patient groups.

The research aims to determine the availability of the requirements for applying the International Risk Management Standard (ISO31000:2018) in the General Tax Authority. The research started from a problem that raised a number of questions, including  what is the level of availability of the requirements for the application of the international standard specification for risk management, and  what is the level of the gap between the actual reality of the application and documentation and the requirements of the specification items in the researched body. A checklist has been adopted in the data collection as well as personal interviews. The study found that the level of availability of specification requirements was 38 percent and was approaching a partially applied and partially documented weight. This means that the research body has moved away from applying the specification requirements at a rate of 62 percent.
