Authors: C. V Senthil Nathan , A Akash Kumar , G Vaishnavi , V Rajalaxmi , S Geethalakshmi , Venkatesan Prem
Published: December 2022

The main objective of our study is to analyze the effect of resistance and flexibility exercise intervention on balance in older adults. Balance is the ability to maintain an upright posture during static and dynamic tasks. Maintaining balance involves a complex interaction between intrinsic factors, including peripheral, visual and vestibular sensation and muscle factors, and the interplay between the neural network and motor output, which are processed and mediated centrally. Programs to increase physical exercise among elderly persons have been found to be beneficial to health. Evidence suggests that training should combine both flexibility exercises and resistance exercises. Berg Balance Scale was the outcome measure. Twenty subjects were selected and divided into two groups. Group A (10 subjects) were given Resisted exercises for 40-45 minutes with two sets of 10 � 12 repetitions for ten weeks. Group B (10 subjects) were given flexibility exercises for 40-45 minutes and included 10�12 repetitions for ten weeks. On comparing the mean values of Group A & Group B on the Berg Balance Scale score, it shows a significant increase in the post-test mean values in both groups, but (Group A - Resistance Exercise) shows 51.10 which has the higher Mean value is effective than (Group B - Flexibility exercise) 46.40 at P = 0.001. Comparing Pretest and Posttest within Group A & B on the Berg Balance Scale score shows a highly significant difference in mean values at P = 0. 001. This study concludes that resisted exercise significantly improved balance in older adults than in flexibility exercise.

Published: December 2022

Most flame-retardant finishing agents have been found to have an adverse effect on our environment and human skin because of the carcinogenic chemicals in their structure. Pyrovatex CP New is an Organophosphorus based flame retardant (FR) agent widely used in FR treatment of combustible. However, the main problem related to it is the release of high formaldehyde content (a known carcinogen). When used with methylated melamine (MM) an effective cross-linker. The objective of this research was to use citric acid (CA) and its integration with sodium hypophosphite (NaH2PO2) and two different co-catalyst Titanium dioxide (TiO2) and phosphoric acid (PA) as a flame‐retardant finishing for cotton fabrics. The flammability of cotton fabric was assessed by a manual vertical flammability test, it is found that the combination of co-catalysts in FR formulation lowers the flammability of cotton. The pyrolysis characteristics and char residue yield of the treated cotton shows that the flame retardancy improves as the amount of catalyst is increased. The whiteness index, crease recovery and tensile strength of the treated cotton fabric was also significantly improved with our suggested recipe formulation. The finished cotton has significant variations in terms of its tensile strength, crease recovery, and whiteness index.

EMPATHY AND MUTUALITY IN QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
Authors: Kocyba Piotr , Muszel Magdalena , Trogisch Corinna
Published: December 2022

This article discusses the authors’ reflections on empathy in the context of fieldwork on feminist activism in small towns in Poland and Eastern Germany. Our methodological reflection is further enriched by our referencing of challenges faced in researching activists mobilising for protests against COVID-19 measures. While the role and impact of an empathic approach to data collection and interpretation have been controversial since the ‘erklären-verstehen controversy’, empathy can be understood in very different ways, ranging from sympathy or compassion to the ability to put oneself in someone else’s shoes. Against the backdrop of our case studies, we focus on the openness and curiosity we showed toward our interviewees’ emotions and experiences, despite ideological or socio-cultural differences between us. The key themes of our discussion include the relationship between the researcher and the research subjects, the impact of this relationship on the research process, the constantly changing conditions for interpretative social research, and the impact of such changes on the use of empathy.
TRAPPED IN THE GREY ZONES
Authors: Mroczkowska Joanna
Published: December 2022

Based on ethnographic research in Eastern Poland, this article deals with coping and resistance strategies in the context of present Polish agricultural policies. The author endeavours to show how Polish agricultural policy including the implementation of EU agricultural regulations force farmers to function in the grey economy. This in turn forms a (largely) politically muted group of people who are alienated not only from what they produce but also distanced from consumers and the state as  imagined recipients of their goods. This has resulted in farmers employing numerous discursive and practical strategies in order to voice their discontent, cope and resist state mechanisms regulating farming.
Uma análise de padrões nos artigos dos periódicos Estudos em Design e Design & Tecnologia no período de 2007 a 2020
Authors: Soares Pereira Leônidas , Trindade Perry Gabriela , Wolf Sieczkowska Daniela
Published: December 2022

À medida que uma área de estudo científico cresce e amadurece, paralelamente aumenta também o volume de pesquisa produzida, não sendo diferente no design. Esta realidade, embora animadora, por vezes pode levar a uma dificuldade de se navegar o grande número de informação continuamente sendo construída e publicada, impedindo-nos de obter uma visão macro do estado e trajetória do campo. O presente trabalho tem por objeto de análise a totalidade dos artigos completos publicados online pelas duas principais revistas científicas nacionais dedicadas ao tópico da pesquisa em design: Design & Tecnologia e Estudos em Design. A partir da aplicação de técnicas de análise bibliométrica, foi desenvolvido um estudo almejando obter um panorama, passado, presente (e potencialmente futuro), da pesquisa brasileira em design a partir dos padrões de publicação identificados em ambas as revistas. Neste sentido, foram analisados os tópicos de palavras-chave, literatura crítica, autores mais citados, produtividade, distribuição geográfica, e instituição de origem dos autores de 459 manuscritos, cobrindo um período de 14 anos, ao longo de três recortes de tempo, tendo-se a evolução dos programas de pós-graduação em design nacionais como pano de fundo. Os resultados obtidos apresentam as duas revistas como publicações de amplo escopo temático que, porém, compartilham preferências em se tratando de principais autores e obras referenciados. Os dados também apontam para o eixo Sul-Sudeste como sendo o principal polo de pesquisa em design no país por uma larga margem, apesar de que o surgimento de novos programas de pós-graduação em regiões antes desatendidas gera a expectativa de que esse quadro possa caminhar em direção a uma distribuição mais equilibrada no futuro. Por fim, algumas diferenças entre publicações nacionais e estrangeiras, que devem ser motivo de reflexão, são brevemente apontadas e discutidas.
“My Lies and Liaisons with Marilyn”
Authors: Silvola Kari
Published: December 2022

In this autobiographical/autofictional article, I analyze the representation of masculinity, an advertising poster for a new Finnish cigarette brand from the 1990s recession, when a new man, a “softie,” debuted under the pressure of the traditional male model and the twenty-first-century dudes and lads. The model posing in the poster is a homosexual, me. In the article I ask whether a gay could represent a Finnish man in the early 1990s or only present him. I examine the picture with a queer eye in search of inconsistencies and distortions that break present alternative interpretations to heteronormativity.

Keywords: homosexuality, masculinity, heteronormativity, advertising, representation, autofiction

”Valheeni ja viettelykseni Marilyn kanssa”: Downtown-miehen eli Marlboro-miehen suomalaisen manttelinperijän autofiktiivinen representaatio

Analysoin autobiografisessa/autofiktiivisessä artikkelissani maskuliinisuuden representaatiota, uuden suomalaisen tupakkamerkin julistetta, lama-ajalta 1990-luvun alusta, jolloin uusi mies, ”pehmo”, debytoi perinteisen miehen mallin ja 2000-luvun äijien ja jätkien puristuksessa. Julisteessa poseeraava malli on homoseksuaali, minä. Artikkelissa kysyn, voisiko homo edustaa suomalaista miestä 1990-luvun alussa vai vain esittää tätä. Tarkastelen kuvaa queerilla katseella etsien epäjohdonmukaisuuksia ja vääristymiä sen heteronormatiivisuudessa ja esitän sille vaihtoehtoisia tulkintoja.

Malnutrition: Undernutrition or overnutrition?
Authors: Arifin Hidayat , Fadlilah Siti , Klankhajhon Sirikanok
Published: December 2022

The definitions and terminology related to malnutrition need to be clarified. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (Academy) and the American Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (ASPEN) have classified clinical nutrition into malnutrition (undernutrition), sarcopenia, frailty, and overnutrition (overweight and obese). In addition, determining indicators for determining diagnoses related to malnutrition also needs to be clarified. Thus, this information can be used by nurses and other health workers to be able to provide appropriate planning and interventions for patients with malnutrition.
La elocuencia de la mujer romana: Sempronia en el De las mujeres illustres en romance
Authors: Afonso-Gutiérrez Sergio de los Reyes
Published: December 2022

El influjo boccaccesco en la literatura occidental tiene como una de sus principales manifestaciones las numerosas traducciones que se realizaron del De mulieribus claris a las lenguas romances, entre ellas la edición de Pablo Hurus, impresa en Zaragoza bajo el título De las mujeres illustres en romance (1494). La gran difusión del volumen le otorga una importancia capital en las letras europeas, donde acabó constituyendo un nuevo género: el compendio de biografías femeninas. La modernidad perceptible en su descripción de las mulieres clarae se hace especialmente notable en el capítulo LXXIX, donde el autor de Certaldo ofrece un alabo sin precedentes a Sempronia y celebra el gran intelecto de una mujer romana cuya única aproximación anterior había sido la férrea censura ejercida por Salustio.

As in human diseases, rapid diagnosis of animal diseases is of great importance. In order for the disease treatments to be carried out properly, the diagnosis must be of high accuracy, as well as the rapid diagnosis. In this study, the disease types in the data set consisting of the data examined between the years 2000-2020 belonging to the Department of Pathology of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University were estimated by using the decision tree classification model and the KNN classification model. Categories such as age, type, city, and gender in the data set were analyzed in graphics. For the estimation and analysis processes to give accurate results, the data set was corrected by going through some pre-processes and the missing data in the data set was completed. It is thought that the results obtained from the estimation and analysis will allow rapid and accurate diagnosis in animal disease diagnoses.
An optimized protocol for the electroporation of NCI H929 multiple myeloma cells
Authors: KIZILYER Ayşe
Published: December 2022

Multiple myeloma cell lines are difficult to transfect with non-viral nucleic acid delivery methods. While electroporation is the most efficient tool for the transfection of most hard-to-transfect cells, human multiple myeloma cells differ in their permissiveness and each cell type require different electroporation conditions for an efficient transgene delivery. In this study, various parameters for NCI H929 human multiple myeloma cells are tested to generate an optimized electroporation protocol. Findings from this paper showed that besides the voltage and capacitance settings, cell count, the cell cycle status of cells, the amount of nucleic acid and removal of death cells all impacted the electroporation efficiency and viable cell count. These results are expected to serve as a starting point and a guide for researchers.
RESPİRATUVAR DİSTRES SENDROMLU PREMATÜRE BEBEKLERDE SURFAKTAN UYGULANMASINDA GÜNCEL METOTLAR
Authors: ALAN Serdar
Published: December 2022

Prematürelerde görülen respiratuvar distres sendromunda surfaktanın klinik kullanıma girmesi ile birlikte prematüre bebeklerdeki yaşam oranı dramatik olarak artmıştır. Surfaktanın akciğerlere iletiminde kullanılan yöntemler zaman içerisinde daha az invaziv ve hatta invaziv olmayan yöntemlere doğru evrilmeye başlamıştır. Surfaktanın ince kateter ile uygulanması, bir larengeal veya suproglottik havayolu cihazı kullanılarak, farengeal uygulama ile ve aerosolize şekilde verilmesi gibi yeni yöntem çalışmaları giderek artmaktadır. Böylece, immatür akciğerin klasik olarak kabul edilen entübasyon, pozitif basınçlı ventilasyon ve mekanik ventilasyonun zararlı etkilerinden korunması hedeflenmiştir. İnce kateter ile surfaktan uygulanması metodu ile yapılan çok sayıda çalışma ve meta-analizin sonuçları entübasyon, surfaktan uygulanması ve pozitif basınçlı ventilasyon metotları ile karşılaştırıldığında mekanik ventilasyon ihtiyacı ve süresi, bronkopulmoner displazi insidansı ve neonatal mortalite oranlarında azalmaya neden olduğu gösterilmiştir. Ancak çalışmalarda premedikasyon yönetimi ve solunum desteği türü, uygulanan surfaktan türü gibi birçok konuda heterojenite mevcuttur. Supraglottik hava yolu cihazı, farengeal uygulama ve aerosolizasyon uygulamaları özellikle laringoskopinin dezavantajlarını ortadan kaldırması ve daha da az invaziv olmaları, daha az tecrübe ve yetenek gerektirmeleri nedenleri ile ince kateter ile surfaktan uygulanması yönteminden avantajlı olsalar da henüz rutin klinik kullanıma girmeleri için daha fazla veriye ihtiyaç vardır.

Authors: Wang Qiang , Li Xiaoliu , Zhang Jing , Xiang Lian , Dong Jing
Published: December 2022

Purpose: To measure interleukin (IL)-17 serum levels in thoracic trauma patients and to correlate these levels with other cytokines and with patient prognosis. 
Methods: This prospective observational study recruited 130 thoracic trauma patients who were admitted to the Zhoupu Hospital Affiliated to Shanghai Medical College of Health June 2020 to April 2022 and 100 healthy volunteers. Patients were divided into two groups based on Injury Severity Score (ISS): ISS<16 (mild/moderate trauma) and ISS ≥16 (severe trauma). Serum IL-17, tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), IL-6, IL-1β and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Patients with poor prognosis were defined as those who developed serious complications or died during hospitalization or follow-up. 
Results: Serum levels of IL-17, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β were significantly elevated in patients with ISS ≥16 (p<0.05). Serum cytokines levels increased within 48 h in both groups and then gradually decreased during subsequent treatment and rehabilitation. Pearson’s analysis indicated a positive correlation among IL-17, TNF-α and IL-1β. Serum IL-17 levels in patients with poor prognoses were higher than the patients with good prognoses at all time points (p<0.05). Furthermore, for patients with poor prognoses, the serum IL-17 levels had highest diagnostic value among all the cytokines measured. Logistic regression analysis showed that IL-17 was the risk factor for thoracic trauma patients with poor prognoses. 
Conclusion: Serum IL-17 levels were significantly elevated in thoracic trauma patients and decreased gradually with rehabilitation. IL-17 was a risk factor for thoracic trauma patients with poor prognoses. This study suggests a new diagnostic and therapeutic target for thoracic trauma patients.

Review of Trans Care by Hil Malatino (University of Minnesota Press)
Authors: Barksdale Alex
Published: December 2022

Hil Malatino’s short book 'Trans Care' critiques the heteronormativity of dominant theorizations of care. By taking trans lives seriously, he shows how trans care webs form the basis of trans survival. Malatino deftly weaves together the insights of trans studies and activism with care feminism to explore the archive, cultural production, healthcare, and politics. He broadens feminist and left perspectives on care and brings care from the margins into the center of trans studies. 'Trans Care' is a plea for stronger, more egalitarian, and solidaristic relations of care.

A edição de número 256 dos Cadernos do Ceas vem a público após a vitória eleitoral de uma ampla frente democrática que encerrará um ciclo sombrio de contrarreformas sociais e de ameaças ao estado de direito no Brasil. Assim, espera a maioria dos brasileiros, embora a outra quase metade dos nacionais parece desejar a continuidade de tais perspectivas e parte desta vai além, insistindo em uma convocação aos militares para reestabelecerem a ditadura no país. Sem apoios internos e externos suficientes para o projeto da extrema direita neofascista, Bolsonaro, presidente encerrando o mandato e líder dessa corrente, optou pelo silêncio e declarações ambíguas, enquanto seus apoiadores mais radicais se mobilizaram em bloqueios de estradas estaduais, rodovias federais, ruas e avenidas em pontos estratégicos das cidades, chegando a realizarem atos abertamente terroristas, como a tentativa de assalto à sede da Polícia Federal em Brasília, seguida de depredações de prédios e incêndios de carros e ônibus na capital da República.

Published: December 2022

Cloud computing technology is a new computing paradigm phenomenon that has recently received a significant attention by several research studies. However, the previous works have concentrated on the adoption of this technology and limited studies focused on the factors influencing the intention to use it. Therefore, the proposed study developed a model to figure out these factors. This study used an online questionnaire to collect data. A total of 712 responses were received. Structural equation modelling was employed by using SmartPLS 3 software to analyse the collected data. The findings of this study indicate that awareness, user readiness, and satisfaction are important factors related to the use of cloud computing, while privacy seems to have no significant influence on the use of this technology.
Thus, this study recommends users to attend courses and workshops to garner knowledge and understanding of cloud computing and hence become appropriately qualified to use it. Moreover, such courses and workshops will provide users with methods and techniques to protect their privacy, which should be given priority attention.
Financial Methods for Equating with Some Categories of the Organization’s Obligations to its Own Funds
Authors: Shchepot’ev A. V.
Published: December 2022

The implementation of financial and analytical procedures is an important stage of making appropriate management decisions in the implementation of economic activities. During the financial analysis of the organization’s activities can determine such indicators as the level of financial stability, solvency, liquidity of the company, its market value and other important indicators, without knowledge of which it is difficult to make adequate and effective management decisions. The purpose of the study is to determine the financial instruments of equating certain categories of an organization’s liabilities to its own funds within the framework of financial and analytical procedures. During the research, the author used such methods as content analysis of sources, analysis, synthesis, generalization, scientific abstraction, analogy. The author shows that the interpretation of the concept of «obligation» from the point of view of various areas of economic science (accounting, audit, taxation, valuation, financial analysis, etc.) can have different meanings. The author analyzed a number of normative legal acts and the practice of applying retraining (equating) obligations to own funds. As a possibility of equating obligations, the author considers subordinated borrowed funds; long-term borrowed funds and long-term accounts payable; minimum regulatory accounts payable arising as a result of a gap in the terms of accrual and payment (fixed liabilities); debt and accounts payable to affiliated entities; certain elements of deferred income; certain elements of reserves future expenses and other equated to own funds of obligations. It is concluded that individual liabilities, considered by accounting science and jurisprudence as liabilities, from a financial point of view (in certain situations, taking into account the relevant goals and objectives of financial analytical procedures), can be equated to the organization’s own funds.

Authors: El-Saman A.A.M.A.
Published: December 2022

The purpose of this study is to examine the managerial impacts of applying modern public financial management (MPFM) tools in financial reform programs on the efficiency of public financial management (PFM) in developing countries, considering the case of the Egyptian reform program implemented during 2005–2015. Applying MPFM tools could improve the efficiency of PFM in developing countries if institutional factors are available to ensure their successful implementation in reform programs. The study adopted a descriptive-analytical method to describe the managerial impact of applying MPFM tools in the financial reform experiences in developing countries. It employed a case study approach on the Egyptian reform experiment to estimate the correlation between applying modern financial tools and the managerial efficiency of PFM assessed through three elements: operational efficiency, allocative efficiency, and financial discipline. The practical study used the IBM SPSS package and MS-Excel to process the data. The results found a positive correlation between the application of modern financial tools and the rate of improvement in the efficiency of PFM in the Egyptian reform program. The study developed a specific model for a deeper understanding of the impacts of MPFM tools on the efficiency of PFM. The model highlighted a strong positive correlation between the successful application of modern PFM tools and the efficiency of PFM and underscored that the availability of the required realtime financial information about governmental revenue and more control over public spending led to achieving financial discipline.
Analysis of Household Income Dynamics in the Russia Based on the RLMS Database
Authors: Martyanova E. V. , Polbin A. V.
Published: December 2022

The goal of the study is to estimate the parameters of the stochastic wage process using data from the Russian Longitudinal Monitoring Survey of Higher School of Economics (RLMS-HSE). The main method of analysis is econometric estimation, which includes two steps. In the first step, the authors estimated a Mincer-type regression. In the second step, they estimated the parameters of the stochastic wage process using the generalized method of moments. As a result, the autoregression coefficient turned out to be lower, and the variance of shocks was higher than in similar foreign studies. The results of the research allow to conclude that labor incomes in Russia are less stable over time and are marked by great uncertainty. The practical value of the work lies in the possibility of using the obtained estimates when calibrating general equilibrium models with heterogeneous agents, which is demonstrated in the framework of estimation of macroeconomic effects from hypothetical tax maneuvers based on the canonical model with heterogeneous agents.

hem de metastazektomi yapılan ve sonrasında adjuvan tedavi almış 18 yaşın üstündeki yumuşak doku

sarkomu hastaları alınmış ve adjuvan kemoterapinin hastalığın seyrine olan etkisi incelenmiştir.

Bulgular: 40 hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastalar medyan 53 ay (5-155) takip edildi. Hastaların

%55’i Evre 1 (%10 Evre 1A, %45 Evre 1B), %15 Evre 3 (%5 Evre 3A, %10 Evre 3B), %30 Evre 4’tür.

Hastalara medyan dört kür adjuvan kemoterapi verildi ve hastaların %80’i Adriamisin - İfosfamid aldı.

Hastaların yarısında hastalık nüks ederken, nüks eden hastalarda hastalıksız sağkalım medyan 12

aydır. Hastaların medyan toplam sağkalımı 39 aydır.

Sonuç: Yaptığımız çalışmanın sonucunda adjuvan tedavinin hem hastalıksız hem de total sağkalımı

katkısı sağlayabileceğini ve bu katkının hem ekstremite hem de ekstremite dışı yumuşak doku

sarkomlarında olabileceğini düşünüyoruz ama kesin bir kanıya varmak için daha geniş hasta sayıları ile

yapılacak prospektif çalışmaların daha yararlı olabileceğini düşünüyoruz.

Aim: Our purpose is to compare the characteristics and 30-day mortality of ventilator-associated

pneumonia (VAP) patients that developed in two different intensive care units (ICUs) in a tertiary hospital.

Material and Methods: Patients who were over the age of 18 who developed VAP in two different

ICUs of our hospital over two years were included in the study. Acute Physiology and Chronic Health

Assessment II (APACHE II), Sepsis-Related Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), Glasgow Coma Score

(GCS), Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS), infection markers, and 30-day mortality of the

patients were evaluated. Physical conditions of Group 1 and Group 2, hand hygiene rates in ICU, nurse

education level, and hospitalization rate in intensive care units were compared.

Results: A total of 104 patients, 48 being in Group 1 and 56 being in Group 2, were analyzed. There

was no significant difference between the two groups with regards of GKS, SOFA and CPIS scores.

Acinetobacter baumanni was the most common agent in both groups. The hospitalization rate was

found to be significantly higher in Group 2. 30-day mortality was 45.8% in Group 1 and 48.2% in Group

2. It was found that a one unit increase in the SOFA hospitalization period reduced the risk of 30-day

mortality. It was determined that a one unit increase in the age ratio in Group 2 increased the risk of

30-day mortality 1.085 times, and the increase in the mean SOFA score in all patients and Group 1

decreased the length of the hospitalization period.

Conclusion: We found a 30-day mortality rate of 47.1% in patients diagnosed with VAP. An increase in

SOFA score increases the risk of 30-day mortality, while a prolonged hospitalization period decreases

the risk of mortality.

Amaç: Akut miyokart infarktüsü hastalarında prognozunu belirlemek için çeşitli faktörler ve risk

sınıflandırmaları önerilmiştir. Fragmente QRS (fQRS), 12 derivasyonlu istirahat elektrokardiyogramda

(EKG) Q dalgası olan veya olmayan QRS komplekslerinin çeşitli morfolojilerini gösteren farklı RSR'

modellerini kapsar. fQRS, miyokard skarının bir belirtecidir ve prognoz ile ilişkilidir. Koroner arter

hastalığı da dahil olmak üzere bazı kadiyovasküler hastalıklarda görüldüğünde olumsuz kardiyak

sonuçlara neden olabileceği gösterilmiştir. Akut miyokart infarktüsü ile başvuran hastaların en etkili

ve uygun şekilde tedavi edilebilmesi için risk sınıflandırmasına duyulan ihtiyaç devam etmektedir.Bu

çalışmada tikagrelor yüklemesi invaziv girişim yapılan akut miyokart infarktüsü hastalarında EKG’de

görülen fQRS varlığının prognozu belirlemedeki etkisini araştırmayı amaçladık.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Ocak 2018 ile Ocak 2020 tarihleri arasında Zonguldak Bülent Ecevit Üniversitesi

Sağlık, Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi’ne akut koroner sendrom ile başvuran ve tikagrelor yüklemesi ve

invaziv girişim yapılmış bütün akut miyokart infarktüsü hastaları retrospektif olarak taranarak çalışmaya

dahil edildi. Çalışmaya dahil edilen 498 hastanın demografik bilgileri (yaş, cinsiyet), kardiyovasküler

öyküleri, risk faktörleri ve kronik hastalıkları tıbbi kayıtlardan elde edildi. Başvuru elektrokardiyogramında

fQRS varlığına göre hastalar iki gruba ayrıldı. Hastaların hastanedeki taburculuk öncesi mortalite

verileri tıbbi kayıtlardan elde edildi. Bir yıllık takipleri ise kendileriyle, aileleriyle veya kişisel doktorlarıyla

(doğrudan ya da telefon ile) görüşülerek elde edildi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya fQRS grubunda 272 (%54,6) ve fQRS olmayan grupta 226 (%45,4) olmak üzere

toplam 498 tikagrelor yüklenen ve invaziv girişim yapılmış akut miyokart infarktüsü hastası (STEMI 324,

%65,1; NONSTEMI 174, %34,9) dahil edildi. fQRS olmayan hastalarda ailede kalp hastalığı öyküsü (85,

%37.4), NONSTEMI (119, %52.4), sistolik kan basıncı (125.16±25.03 mmHg) fQRS olanlara kıyasla

Aim: We present an interesting case of papillary thyroid cancer co-existent with hypopituitarism.

Case: Fortysix-year-old female was applied with a complaint of painful palpabl lump in the right side of the neck, difficulty swallowing, cough and dyspnea. The patient was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus 8 years ago, underwent craniotomy for nonfunctioning pituitary adenoma 15 years ago, and received gamma knife 10 years ago. She had been taking insulin glargine and lispro, prednisolone, and levothyroxine (LT4). Physical examination was unremarkable. Pituitary MRI revealed partial empty sella. A solid nodule of 33x27x30 mm with irregular borders and containing microcalcifications in the right thyroid lobe was detected on sonography. Fine needle aspiration cytology revealed “strongly suspicious features for malignancy”. Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) was detected after right lobectomy and then complementary thyroidectomy. Follow-up sonography performed 14 months later than radioactive iodine (RAI) showed an avascular solid area of 30x14x15 mm in the right. We decided to monitor free thyroxine (fT4), thyroglobulin and anti-thyroglobulin levels. LT4 dose was adjusted to keep fT4 level closer to the upper limit of normal. No complications or recurrences were detected.

Conclusion: Studies on the follow-up of PTC cases with hypopituitarism are limited. We performed RAI after total thyroidectomy, and treated the patient with LT4 by adjusting fT4 level.

Published: December 2022

Aim: To reveal the role of eosinophil count and percentage evaluated at the time of presentation in

patients hospitalized with the exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Material and Methods: In this study, the data of patients with a diagnosis of the exacerbation of COPD,

who presented to the emergency department, and admitted to the general internal medicine ward, were

retrospectively analyzed. The relationship of eosinophil count and ratios with the length of hospital

stay and intensive care requirement was investigated.The Spearman correlation analysis was used for

investigating correlation between parameters and outcome.

Results: Of the study population, 39.7% were female and 60.3% were male. The ages of the participants

ranged from 25 to 94 years, with a median value of 76 years. There was no significant correlation

between the length of stay in ward and eosinophil count and percentage (rho=-0.148, p=0.066 and

p=0.074, rho=-0.143, respectively) (Spearman correlation test). The group admitted to the intensive

care unit had a significantly higher eosinophil count and percentage of eosinophils than the group that

did not require intensive care (0.81(Inter Quarter Range (IQR):0.41-1.31) versus 1.32 (IQR:0.83-1.43)

p=0.042 and 1.0 (IQR:0.81-1.21) versus 1.42 (IQR:1.02-1.64), p=0.018, respectively) (Mann Whitney

U test).

Conclusion: There was no correlation between a high eosinophil count and percentage and the length

of hospital stay. However, the number and percentage of eosinophils were significantly higher among

the patients requiring intensive care.

Rice has become the main staple food for almost the entire population of Indonesia. However, in Indonesia, the price of food commodities (rice) often fluctuates in price. Due to the rapid fluctuation of rice prices and the uncertainty in the future, it is necessary to forecast rice prices. This study aims to predict the price of rice in the city of Mataram using the Holt double exponential smoothing method and the Cheng fuzzy time series. The model's performance is based on Mean Squared Error (MSE) and Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) indicators. Forecasting model based on Holt's double exponential smoothing method, the MSE value is 705967.4994 and the MAPE value is 7.91%. On the other hand, based on Cheng's fuzzy time series method, the performance of the forecasting model based on the MSE indicator is 566312.340 and based on the MAPE value of 6.75%. Based on these results, Cheng's fuzzy time series method is more accurate than Holt's double exponential smoothing method. Keywords: Double Exponential Smoothing Holt, Fuzzy Time Series Cheng, Rice Price, MAPE, MSE
