Authors: ÇELEN Raziye , TAŞ ARSLAN Fatma , SOYLU Hanifi
Published: April 2022

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect education on oral feeding supporting practices in preterm infants on healthcare professionals.
Material and Methods: The study was a single group with pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design conducted at a medical faculty hospital in Turkey. A sample of 44 NICU healthcare professionals (nurse and physician) participated in an education programme. Data were collected using the Demographic Characteristics and Preterm Infant Feeding Qestionnaire Form. Participants were split into groups of 8 to 10 person and the education course was completed in average 45 minutes per day for five days. Prior to the education program, participants completed the pretest. The posttest was completed two weeks after completion of the education course. Data were analyzed using McNemar test and paired t test.
Results: The average age of the participants is 26.14±4.81. Of the 44 participants, 86.4% were nurse, 13.6% physicians and 88.6% were female. While 63.6% of the healthcare professionals had NRP certification, 70.5% of them did not have the neonatal intensive care nursing certificate. It was determined that 40.9% of the participants were not educated about preterm infant feeding, while those who participated in the training were found to receive breast milk training in the context of in-service training. The mean rate of correct pretest answers was 58.69%, whereas the mean rate of correct posttest answers was 78% (p<0.001)
Conclusion: It has been determined that the education given on oral feeding supporting practices in preterm infants improves knowledge the healthcare professionals’.

A vida em rede: comunidades linguísticas emergidas entre jovens na rede social twitter e os vocábulos nativos dessa comunidade
Authors: De Vargas Juliana Silvestre
Published: April 2022

O twitter da rede social é uma rede social interactiva como um diário virtual. Nela, os utilizadores disponibilizam, de forma escrita, através de "tweets", detalhes do seu dia. Nesta perspectiva, foi estabelecida entre jovens, fãs de sagas literárias, séries ou artistas de hoje, destinada a públicos jovens, comunidades linguísticas de interacção chamadas "FCs" (clubes de fãs). Estas comunidades têm um perfil de utilizador e palavras específicas e muito características que constroem estes interactistas como utilizadores dos FCs numa base individual e lhes permitem compreender, ser bem recebidos e interagir, dentro desta comunidade, através deste vocabulário seleccionado. Neste estudo, pretendemos analisar palavras, nativas desta comunidade, através de "tweets", exibidas publicamente na rede social, de acordo com a noção de comunidades linguísticas, objectos de fala e a imprevisibilidade. Os resultados indicam que a socialização das palavras, introduzida e partilhada pelos FCs, na rede social, torna viral uma parte destas referências e estas são reproduzidas até serem apresentadas a diferentes públicos que não fazem parte desta comunidade, na qual a palavra foi originada.

Authors: Ashaduzzaman M. , Mithun N. , Sharmin A.
Published: April 2022

The study was undertaken to present mainly some physical and mechanical wood properties of Mahogany (Swietenia macrophylla King.) grown in homestead forest of Bangladesh. The study was carried out following the standard test methods and comparing the finding with those of standard Chittagong Teak (Tectona grandis L.f.) reported earlier. Both the physical and mechanical properties were studied in different age classes and height positions. It has been found that the average green moisture content was 39.83%, volumetric shrinkage was 6.62% and densities in green, air-dry and oven-dry conditions were 0.53, 0.55 and 0.56 gm/cm3 respectively. The average MOE and MOR valued for air-dry and oven-dry conditions were 7712.71 and 7912.12 MPa, and 71.15 and 73.59 MPa respectively. The compression parallel to grain and perpendicular to grain in air-dry and oven-dry condition were 52.65 and 55.90 MPa, and 13.45 and 14.42 MPa respectively. The effect of age and height of the tree was significant for most of the physical and mechanical properties. Some of the properties of S. macrophylla were found relatively and reasonably lower than Chittagong Teak.

Published: April 2022

Objective: The term big data refers to high volumes of data that are difficult to store, process, and analyze through traditional database technologies. This paper aims to discover the big data knowledge and awareness of Turkish neurosurgeons.
Methods: An online survey link was sent to all members of the Turkish Neurosurgical Society (n=1707 neurosurgeons) by e-mail. The survey, which was available during September and October 2021, was filled by 211 specialists (12.4%) neurosurgeons. Participants were scored based on the questions asked in “Big Data” and the scores were compared with baseline characteristics.There was no statistically significant correlation between baseline characteristics (age, gender, the residency/current institution, academic title, the presence of a Ph.D. degree, and professional specialist period) and survey score. The survey scores of the participants who used a big data platform, wrote code, thought that the use of big data was beneficial, and wanted to learn more about this subject were statistically significantly higher.
Conclusions: Obtaining information about big data seems to be related only to personal interests. Necessary arrangements should be made in the training programs of neurosurgeons on this topic, which is gaining in popularity and provides useful information for daily clinical practice.
Soft-Tissue Considerations in Shoulder Surgery in the Patient With Lymphedema
Authors: Maassen Nicholas H. , Chang David W. , Shi Lewis L. , Hanson Summer E.
Published: April 2022

Lymphedema is a chronic, progressive, and often debilitating condition that results in swelling of the affected tissue. Secondary lymphedema is most commonly recognized by unilateral swelling of the ipsilateral extremity after the treatment of cancer. It is estimated that nearly 1.45 million women suffer from breast cancer-related lymphedema in the United States. The number of patients suffering from upper extremity lymphedema is expected to increase because multimodal treatment of breast cancer increases the long-term survival after diagnosis. Because this population ages, the likelihood of encountering a patient with concurrent lymphedema and shoulder pathology requiring orthopaedic intervention is likely to rise. A patient with an already edematous arm and/or impaired drainage of that arm is likely to have different and more complex intraoperative and postoperative courses than patients with normal lymphatic drainage. Although a lymphedematous arm should not preclude surgical intervention, there are considerations when approaching shoulder surgery in the setting of upper extremity lymphedema that may help mitigate complications and aid the patient in their orthopaedic recovery.
Proximal Femoral Focal Deficiency/Congenital Femoral Deficiency: Evaluation and Management
Authors: Nossov Sarah B. , Hollin Ilene L. , Phillips Jessica , Franklin Corinna C.
Published: April 2022

Proximal focal femoral deficiency is a congenital transverse deficiency in which the femur is globally smaller with a typical proximal deformity at the hip that may include distal involvement of knees, leg, and feet. Congenital femoral deficiency (CFD) describes a broader spectrum of longitudinal deficiency inclusive of proximal focal femoral deficiency. CFD may also include lateral distal femoral hypoplasia, knee cruciate ligament deficiency, rotational instability, patellar dislocation, fibular hemimelia, ray absence, and contralateral limb involvement. Treatment intends to maximize function by limb equalization and deformity correction ranging from nonsurgical management using prosthetics to amputation and may include lengthening, shortening, and complex limb reconstruction. Management decisions depend on overall severity and the patient and family's preferences and priorities. Owing to its complexity, CFD is best treated by clinicians with considerable deformity treatment experience who can help guide decision making and embark on a treatment course that will maximize the functional outcome.
Orthopaedic Surgery Residency Program Adherence to Universal Interview Offer Day Guidelines: A Retrospective Analysis
Authors: Hutchison Catherine E. , Reminick Jason I. , Love Ephy R. , Karan Suzanne , Gundle Kenneth R.
Published: April 2022

Introduction:

The 2020 to 2021 application cycle was marked by structural changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Adaptations included the American Orthopaedic Association Council of Residency Program Directors recommendations for a universal interview offer day (UIOD), synchronizing applicant interview offer release. As a novel process within orthopaedics, there are limited data on the execution and effect of a UIOD. Study goals include determining (1) residency program adherence to the Council of Residency Program Directors UIOD guidelines during the 2020 to 2021 cycle, (2) how quickly programs filled available interviews, and (3) any difference in time from release to booking between applicants using edu and com e-mail domains.

Methods:

Orthopaedic residency programs and applicants using the Thalamus interview management software platform during the 2020 to 2021 residency application cycle were analyzed, representing 46 residency programs and 993 interviewees (22% and 77% of the national total, respectively).

Results:

Of the programs included in this study, 19 (41%) were strictly adherent to the UIOD and time, 14 (30%) were weakly adherent and sent out offers outside of the assigned time, and 13 (28%) were nonadherent and sent out offers on dates other than the UIOD. The average time to fill to 80% capacity was 26 ± 14 minutes (range 3 to 77 minutes) for the 33 programs that released on the UIOD. Applicants with edu e-mail domains scheduled their first interview an average of 1.8 minutes after those with com e-mail domains (14.8 versus 13.0 minutes, P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

Despite more than 60% of the residency programs committing to participate, less than half of the programs that initially agreed to participate were strictly adherent to guidelines during the first UIOD in orthopaedic surgery. Although additional research is needed to analyze the unique, fully virtual 2020 to 2021 recruitment season, a phased or waved approach to the UIOD may improve the process for all stakeholders in future cycles.

Looking under the Hood for Evidence of Normalization
Authors: Lee Changsoo
Published: April 2022

The study investigated the hypothesis of normalization and stylistic variation across translators as manifested in the use of lexical bundles between translated and non-translated English literary texts. Normalization is a hypothesis originally proposed as ‘conservatism’ by Baker (1996) which states that the translator tends to conform to linguistic patterns and conventions typical of the target language even to the point of exaggeration, and lexical bundles are sequences of three or four words recurring with high frequency in natural discourse. The study was carried out in two stages. The first stage replicated previous studies that relied on simple frequency tests to confirm the normalization hypothesis. Contrary to these earlier studies, the present study’s frequency tests on lexical bundles failed to provide clear support for the normalization hypothesis. The second stage employed two types of multivariate exploratory analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), to examine the underlying relationships among individual texts, lexical bundles, and translated and non-translated group categories. Following the failed frequency tests, it was hypothesized here that normalization might be still present in the translated corpus but restricted by types of lexical bundles. PCA confirmed this hypothesis by revealing that normalization occurred in the use of a particular functional type of lexical bundles, called discourse bundles, which are relatively free from the thematic content of the text in which they occur. This ascertains the traditional idea that statistical tests of translation hypotheses must deal with linguistic features unrelated to the thematic content of the corpus. Additionally, PCA revealed variation across the types of lexical bundles preferred by individual translators. HCA further identified the presence of a subgroup of translated texts that cluster with non-translated texts, rather than with their fellow translated texts. This was taken as indicating that the use of lexical bundles varied among the translators and that the division between translated and non-translated texts is not clear-cut.
Dance between Structure and Agency
Authors: Edge Lonnie
Published: April 2022

For comparative case studies, North and South Korea provide political and social theorists with the perfect laboratory to control for factors like language, culture and history due to their near identical conditions in terms of these factors at independence. This research examines and discusses the impact of the social structures and constraints on individual agency that resulted in the aftermath of the nearly 80-year-old division of the Korean peninsula on the cultures of the Koreas. First, section two examines theoretical perspectives on the relationship between structure, culture, and agency to frame our discussion and then focuses on theory of cultural change that most pertains to the North and South Korea we see today following nearly 80 years of nation building. Then, section three examines some indicators of state structures such as coercive capacity, national economy, and political freedom to show the structural disparity between North and South Korea. Institutions are the real world embodiments of structure and these statistics are reflections of the capacity of their relevant institutions to constrain and influence agency. Section four highlights some ways that the numbers from section three have influenced agency in both Koreas over time. Then, section five examines how structure and agency influenced changes in culture in South Korea and North Korea. Section six concludes by offering some thoughts on the implications of the findings.
This article contributes to the literature in two respects. First, it engages in a nuanced discussion of agency and structure not by simple dichotomy but by showing the mutual interplay between the two on the Korean peninsula. Second, in terms of structure and agency, it compares North and South Korea according to several indices while providing a comprehensive and deep interpretation of the two Koreas’ social and cultural evolution to non-Korean readers.
Corruption, FDI, and Trade Freedom Relationship Between Turkey and Latin American Countries
Authors: CAMACHO MURCİA Alexander , UYSAL Özgür
Published: April 2022

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been always associated with a high level of trade openness and freedom environment, and with a lower incidence of institutional corruption. Because it is assumed that a high level of international capital mobility makes foreign investors more cautious when there is a fluctuation in political stability and institutional transparency. Most American countries (except Canada and the USA) have been always related to a lack of transparency in their institutional and bureaucratic procedures, which conduct to important levels of corruption and in consequence, to other serious issues such as prominent level of violence, or even the inequality phenomena. This study investigates whether the variables of corruption indices, trade openness and inflation rates have positive or negative effects on FDI between Turkey and American countries. For analyzing this econometric model, it was gathered information from OECD, COMTRADE, TUIK, Heritage Foundation, UNCTAD, and the World Bank Database. The observed data correspond to a decade (2005-2014) and were only taken a sample of 14 American countries.The empirical results of the present study revealed that there is a positive correlation between the trade openness index and FDI; and, it was found a positive correlation between corruption index, inflation, and FDI. The increase in the corruption index causes a 41% increase in FDI inflow.

Authors: Bostami ABM Rubayet , Khan MRI , Selim ASM , Hossain MD , M Khairunnesa
Published: April 2022

Generally, consumers prefer the indigenous chicken meat compare to commercial chicken like sonali or broiler chicken because of their concept of having more nutritious and palatability and ready to pay more. Whether the concept is true or not, and on which aspects, indigenous chicken meat is superior compare to that of commercially reared chicken, validation is required. Therefore, an experiment was conducted to compare the carcass characteristics, meat proximate composition, physico-chemical parameters and sensory attributes of indigenous/deshi, sonali and broiler chicken that are available in the poultry market of Bangladesh. Three types of finisher chicken: indigenous/deshi, sonali and broiler chicken were bought from local market of Bangladesh. Birds were slaughtered following halal method; carcass traits and meat quality parameters were analyzed after collection and processing of meat samples. Result indicated that, there is a variation in the carcass characteristics, proximate composition, physico-chemical attributes and sensory evaluation. Broiler chicken live weight, slaughter weight and abdominal fat was higher as compared to sonali and indigenous/deshi chicken (P<0.05). The dry matter, crude protein and ether extract was higher in deshi chicken followed by sonali and broiler chicken (P<0.05). Drip loss and cooking loss was higher in broiler chicken followed by sonali and deshi chicken, while pH24 was lower in deshi chicken followed by sonali and broiler chicken (P<0.05). Broiler chicken meat was more tender in relation to sonali and deshi chicken (P<0.05), where flavor of deshi chicken meat was higher as compared to the broiler chicken (P<0.05). Result suggested that, based on level of status of people, consumers can choose indigenous or deshi chicken due to better proximate composition and meat flavour; however, sonali and broiler chicken are also acceptable by the consumers with higher carcass weight and meat tenderness with short interval to become marketable weight and cheap price which can be afford by all class of people to meet their protein demand, eventually can secure national human health.

China’s overseas humanitarian action to assist refugees
Authors: Venturi Emily
Published: April 2022

In recent years, China has boosted its support for humanitarian action to assist refugees, mostly through increased funding for multilateral institutions and diplomatic engagement. China’s engagement is mainly development-focused and state-centric, although Chinese non-state actors are also advancing some new activities. The country’s technical expertise in areas such as disaster relief, rural development and digital technologies can make a significant contribution to humanitarian responses. However, it is important not to overestimate Chinese engagement on refugee relief: the issue area remains sensitive within Chinese society and China’s approach to humanitarianism is evolving. Looking ahead, Chinese actors will need to translate high-level commitments into tangible outcomes and partnerships within a transparent framework for overseas humanitarian action. It remains to be seen whether international and Chinese actors are able to navigate each other’s differences in approach and increase collaboration on refugee relief.

  Materials and methods: Patients who had undergone appendectomy in the last three years due to acute appendicitis were filtered from the database. Patients’ demographic features, date of the surgery, pathology reports, data on atmospheric temperatures, atmospheric pressure, relative humidity, and air pollution on the date of the surgery were collected and compared between complicated and non-complicated appendicitis groups.

 Results: Out of 360 patients, 238 were men. The median age was 39 years for women and 29 years for men. Complicated appendicitis was seen in 78 (21.7%) patients, and the incidence rates were similar between the sexes (p = 0.69); this rate increased with increasing age (p = 0.001). The day of the week in which the surgery was performed (p = 0.55) and weekdays versus weekends (p = 0.16) did not change the complicated appendicitis incidence rate. This rate was similar among seasons (p = 0.44), temperature (p = 0.81), humidity (p = 0.62), and atmospheric pressure (p = 0.95). There was no difference between the groups for all noxious gases or PM2.5 levels, but for PM10 levels there was a significant difference (p = 0.045). In multivariate analysis, age (p = 0.001) and PM10 air pollution (p = 0.045) significantly affected the development of complicated appendicitis.

 Conclusions: Air pollution of PM10 may have a real effect on the incidence of complicated appendicitis.

Abstract. Home industry workers in manufacturing have low to high occupational risks in their work environment. This community service activity aims to increase workers' knowledge of the hazards in the work environment and increase awareness of the use of personal protective equipment in the workplace. The activity was carried out using the grafting method, namely observation, education, and evaluation of the activity's stages. Based on the assessment results, this method is quite good in making workers master and understand basic knowledge in the field of occupational safety and health, as well as handling solid waste from daily industrial activities. Workers can apply the practice of using Personal Protective Equipment correctly and managing the waste generated. Increased knowledge of Occupational Safety & Health (OSH) and waste management in workers can reduce near misses, incidents or even minimize work accidents in the workplace. Keywords: occupational health and safety, home industry, solid waste, knowledge of occupational health and safety, PPE, work accident

Published: April 2022

Pakistan’s energy is mainly dependent on the imported fossil fuels as the explored fossil fuels of the country are insufficient to meet the country’s current energy needs. Meanwhile, these fossil fuels have negative environmental consequences and are too expensive to electrify remote areas. To address the country’s serious energy shortages, Pakistan’s Alternative Energy Development Board (AEDB) has suggested to introduce energy mix to meet the increasing energy demand and fuel the economy. Renewable energy endorsing unique environmentally friendly nature, constant supply, wider availability and ease of integration into existing infrastructure. Biodiesel is considered the best and most easily accessible source of energy among all renewable energy resources. However, there is still substantial room for development of renewable energies in Pakistan. This literature review examines the availability of biomass resources in Pakistan and their potential for meeting the country’s rapidly growing energy demand, boosting Country economy and creates new employments in the near future.
A Review on Ecology of Interactions in Soybean Vein Necrosis Orthotospovirus (SVNV): Plants, Vectors, Virus Dispersal and Management Perspectives

Published: April 2022

Soybean vein necrosis orthotospovirus (SVNV, Genus: Orthotospovirus, Family: Tospoviridae, Order Bunyavirales) is a vector and seed transmitted virus that infects soybean in different countries around the world. The purpose of this review paper was to provide information about SVNV, its geographic dispersal, vectors, disease transmission mode, alternative host plants, diagnostic tools and management. SVNV is a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus reported in all soybean growing states in the USA, Egypt and Canada. SVNV can replicate in plants belonging to six different families, including the Leguminosae member mung bean, which is a major component of the diet of poor people of Asia. The most efficient and abundant SVNV vector species is Neohydatothrips variabilis (Beach.) (Sericothripinae: Thripidae). Five other insect species have the potential to transmit the virus, but their rate of transmission is very low. In addition to leaf necrosis, this virus can decrease seed oil content by 0.1% that may lead to a decrease in quality of SVNV infected seed in oilseed markets. In fact, in the infected seeds the quantity of the undesirable linolenic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid is increased. Broad presence of SVNV in all soybean growing regions points to the need to manage vector and virus. However, research is needed to determine various management options for the virus and vector including breeding for genetic resistance.

Published: April 2022

Though the past three decades have led to a renaissance in vaccine design, the development of vaccines that protect against helminth diseases remains elusive. The need for protective vaccines for humans and livestock remains urgent because of the side-effect profiles of anti-helminthic drugs and the growing incidence of antimicrobial resistance and declining efficacy. The “-omics” era has led to renewed interest in vaccine development against helminth diseases, as candidate vaccines can now be designed, evaluated, and refined in a fraction of the time previously required. In this chapter, we describe and review genomic, transcriptomic, and proteomic approaches to the design of vaccines against helminth diseases.

The exploration of functional nanomaterials with superior catalytic activity for practical photocatalytic water decontamination is of significant importance. Perovskite-based nanomaterials, which demonstrate excellent photophysical and catalytic properties, are widely investigated as a class of adaptable materials for the photocatalytic degradation of environmental pollutants. This chapter introduces the recent progresses in using perovskite-based nanocomposites with particular emphasis on the applications for effective photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in wastewater. It starts by presenting the general principles and mechanisms governing photocatalytic degradation of organic pollutants in water by perovskite, along with the design criteria for perovskite-based nanocomposites. It then explains various strategies used to prepare perovskite-based nanocomposites with the aim of enhancing their photocatalytic activity. By the end of the chapter, the remaining challenges and perspectives for developing efficient perovskite-based photocatalysts with potential large-scale application are highlighted.
Improving Reserves and Well Productivity Using Modern Technologies
Authors: Minhas Haq
Published: April 2022

The oil trapped in a reservoir rock through geological processes over millions of years is called the Original Oil in Place (OOIP). Oil recovery factor (RF) represents the recoverable fraction of OOIP. We do not have any control on the quantity of OOIP. However, the volume that we can recover is partly in our control. Through proper well placement, engineering, and production technologies, we can recover anywhere from 5 to 70% of OOIP. Exactly how much we will recover depends on the techniques employed and the nature of the reservoir. The economically recoverable oil is called the reserves. In this chapter, we will talk about various oil field technologies that can be employed to maximize petroleum reserves. We will explore some emerging technologies and processes that have helped some fields achieve 70% recovery factor while others are trailing behind, stuck at an average of 35% recovery factor, some as low as 10%. Despite all the hype, and many decades of research, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) is contributing just about 4% of total world production, and most of it is from thermal EOR. We need a profound shift in the EOR technology application required to make it simple and widely applicable.
Update and Trend in Episiotomy Practice

Published: April 2022

Episiotomy is one of the most commonly practiced obstetric procedures done to enlarge the diameter of the vulval outlet to facilitate the passage for the fetal head and prevent an uncontrolled tear of the perineal tissues in the second stage of labor. Historically, the procedure was indicated to prevent third- or fourth-degree perineal tears as well as for prolonged second stage, macrosomia, non-reassuring fetal heart rate, instrumental delivery, occiput posterior position, and shoulder dystocia. Routine episiotomy is now considered to be obstetrics violence, rates of not exceeding 10% have been recommended by World Health Organization (WHO). Despite this recommendation, episiotomy is still practiced routinely in many settings.
