Published: October 2023

Durian is Malaysia's most popular seasonal fruit, but less than half of the durian fruit is consumed as food. Durian is a type of fruit with a high percentage of waste, which becomes an environmental problem when discarded into the landfill site. Therefore, it is important to utilise durian waste as a potential natural fibre-based composite reinforcement. Durian skin residue is recognised as one of the potential lignocellulosic materials to replace wood in the insulation board industry. The present study aims to develop a low-cost insulation board using durian skin residues as reinforcing materials. Single-layer mats were manually formed, followed by hot pressing using polymeric methane diphenyl diisocyanate (PMDI) resin. The effect of different percentages of PMDI resin (0, 6, 8 and 10%) on the board's physical, mechanical, morphological, and thermal properties was investigated. It was found that 6% PMDI resin is the optimised resin amount to produce PMDI/durian skin fibre composite, and the board with 6% PMDI has the maximum static bending due to enhanced cross-linking by the fibre. In terms of thermal stability and conductivity, the incorporation of 6% of PMDI is considered the best formulation based on the value achieved. The overall results indicated that this study addresses a low-cost innovation for commercial insulation boards as it utilises durian waste and a low dosage of PMDI for implementation in the building and construction industry.

Natural fibers derived from cellulose and ligno-celluloses materials have many advantages, such as being renewable, low density, inexhaustible, and cheap rather than synthetic fibers. Researchers and scientists are searching for a new fiber source that can be processed environmentally sustainable. The aim is to produce an organic and Eco-friendly product. The present investigation aims to extract and characterize ligno-cellulosic fiber from the seedpod of Wrightia tinctoria (WT) and Cebia pentandra (CP) plants. The extraction of WT fibers (WTFs) and CP fibers (CPFs) was carried out using the hand-stripping method. The structural and functional Characterization of WTFs and CPFs were determined using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, Chemical analysis, X-ray diffraction studies (XRD), and the thermal behavior of fibers determined by using Thermo Gravimetric Analysis (TGA). The results indicated that WTFs composed of 75% cellulose, 14% lignin, and 0.55% wax content were, as the CPFs were composed of 38% cellulose, 15% lignin, and wax content of 2.34%. The SEM micrograph confirms that both fibers were hollow structures with thin cell walls and luminous because of the wax content presence on the surface of the fiber. The crystallinity percentage of WTFs and CPFs was calculated from XRD studies and is valued at 62% and 52%. Thermo gravimetric analysis revealed that WTFs and CPFs were thermally stable up to 460°C and 350°C. The above characterization results confirm that WTFs and CPFs have a wide scope in textile and polymer composite applications.

Introduction. Rotator cuff tears are one of the common etiologies of shoulder pain. Rotator cuff repair is recommended for a patient who failed conservative treatment. Proper knowledge of the rotator cuff footprint is needed in restoring correct anatomy during the repair. The size of the footprint is important in determining the kind of repair.Objective. This study aimed to define the average measurements of the rotator cuff footprint on the humerus in Filipino cadavers.Methods. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional study of preserved human cadaver upper extremity specimens. We measured the length, width, and shape of the supraspinatus, infraspinatus, subscapularis, and teres minor.Results. We obtained 27 upper extremity specimens. The median age of the source cadavers was 50.5 years with the equal male-to-female distribution. The mean measurement of the supraspinatus is 22.92 mm in length and 10.17 mm in width. The shape of the supraspinatus was found to be trapezoidal. The infraspinatus length was found to be 17.20 mm and the width at 10.72 mm. Its shape was found to be trapezoidal. The teres minor length was measured at 15.15 mm and the width at 11.04 mm. The shape was mostly trapezoidal but some were triangular. Finally, the subscapularis length was 17.68 mm while the width was 11.26 mm. The shape was trapezoidal or comma-shaped.Conclusion. The average measurement of the rotator cuff footprint was found to be smaller in our study than reported in terms of length and width. The footprint shape was similar to the studies reported.

Purpose: The review was aimed to access the effect of vaccination failure in poultry production. The most of the causes of vaccination failure such as use of expired vaccine, improper storage of vitamin, health status of the flock, poor quality of water, constitution of vaccines, lack of anti-stress after vaccine administration, improper route of vaccine administration, vaccine break, and poor nutrition significantly contribute to vaccine failure in poultry. Furthermore, sirict adherence to vaccination schedule together with good management practice reduces vaccination failure to an economic level.

Findings: These revealed that strict adherence to recommended concluded that maintenance of hygiene, improved nutrition, use of potent vaccines and proper constitution can drastically reduce the rate of mortality on poultry production.

Unique contribution to theory, policy, and practice: Farmers should strictly adhere to manufacturers' instruction on the vaccine labels as this reduces the dangers of vaccination failure. Government should encourage private agencies in the field of vaccine production and make sure that the vaccines produced meet the approved standard. Poultry farmers Association of Nigeria should be organizing seminars and workshop to poultry farmers on vaccine handling and administration. More researches are expected to be conducted in the field of vaccine failure to test antibody titter level of the treatment set for the investigation. Good management practices should also be adopted in order to reduce the mortality rate on the poultry farmers. Poultry farmers should adhere strictly to vaccination schedule as this will reduce the rate of mortality on their poultry farms.

Aristotle's Testimony in Question: The Beginning of Philosophy and The Theory of Material Monism
Authors: KARTAL Ümit
Published: October 2023

When and how philosophy began are such questions that they are equally significant ones as what philosophy is. There is indeed a conventional view regarding the beginning of Western philosophy. The transition from mythos to logos marked with the Milesian school of thought’s pioneer Thales at about 7th century BC. The conventional interpretation leads us back to the Aristotelian account on the beginning of philosophy presented in the Metaphysics’ introductory chapter as a genuine example of the historiography of philosophy. Aristotle’s interpretation bases on the material monism thesis regarding this very first philosophers’ attempt to explain the nature in a broad sense of the word. Aristotle also binds this beginning to wonder and leisure. Though there is a strong critic against the material monism thesis proposed by Daniel W. Graham in his Explaining the Cosmos. Graham offers us an alternative reading of this beginnings’ nature in terms of generating substance theory. In this paper, it is thus intended to show that Graham’s argument is more tenable than Aristotle’s and Graham’s account in turn needs to be read along with the theories discussed in R. Hahn and G. Naddaf’s distinct works regarding the nature of the very beginning of philosophy. Such a complementary reading thus needs to take social, cultural, technological, i.e., architecture, and political interactions into consideration both within the internal and intercultural contexts back then.
An Orientalist Analysis of Orhan Pamuk’s Snow and Cevdet Bey and His Sons
Authors: ÖZSERT Seher , GÜVEN Fikret
Published: October 2023

The present study analyses the traces of Orientalism in Orhan Pamuk’s two novels Snow and Cevdet Bey and His Sons. As a theoretical framework, Orientalism focuses on the distinction between “the self” and “the other” attributing to the literary studies applied by Western scholars to the Eastern countries for the purpose of establishing dominance. “The self” constantly stigmatizes and marginalizes “the other” as innately different. This process strictly draws on West and East boundaries and becomes the starting point of a problematic relationship between the two sides. Since ancient times, it has preserved its existence as a mode of thinking of the West on Eastern civilizations. In this context, the Orientalist details that Orhan Pamuk reflects on his both novels are the main subjects of this work. The study examines traces of Orientalist discourse in Pamuk’s selected novels and tries to bring an approach to the author’s portrayal of his own society. In the light of the pioneering theorists, like Said, Bhabha, and Fanon, the arguments on selected texts are grounded on the themes such as the East-West binaries, cultural identity, and conflicts. Based on the East-West contrasts identified, the study reveals what kind of an Orientalization process Türkiye went through both within itself and against the Western civilization.
Cinuçen Tanrıkorur’un Bestelediği Uşşak Münâcât’ın Makâm ve Geçki Bakımından İncelenmesi
Authors: ARPA Serbülend
Published: October 2023

Allah’a yalvarma ve bağışlanma dileme konularını işleyen metin ya da şiirler bir edebi tür olarak münâcât adıyla anılır. Türk din mûsikîsinde de sıklıkla kullanılan bu metin ya da şiirler genellikle mevlid, ayin, istiğfar, ferâciye, mirâciye, regâibiye, temcîd, kaside ve ilahi gibi türlerin içinde yer alır. Ancak günümüzde müstakil olarak münâcât türüne Türk din mûsikî kitaplarında yer verilmekte ve cami mûsikîsi başlığı altında ele alınmaktadır. Cami dışı musikide de az da olsa münâcât örnekleri vardır. Bu örneklerin içinde 5 besteyle Cinuçen Tanrıkorur ön plana çıkmaktadır. Usûllü ve saz bölümlerine yer verdiği münâcâtları geleneksel tanımın dışında tutmak gerekir. Bu çalışmada ele alınan Uşşak Münâcât’ın makamsal analizinin yapılması sonucunda eserin bestekarı olan Cinuçen Tanrıkorur’un münâcât türü besteciliği, bu tür kattığı yenilikler ve uşşak makamı kullanımı üzerine tespitler yapılması amaçlamıştır. Nitel bir çalışma olan bu araştırmada yöntem olarak bestekarın münâcât türünde eserleri taranmıştır. Veri toplama aşamasında Atatürk Kültür Merkezi Başkanlığı tarafından yayınlanan “Cinuçen Tanrıkorur Beste Külliyatı”ndan ve Cumhurbaşkanlığı Klasik Türk Müziği Korosu arşivinden faydalanılmıştır. Arel-Ezgi-Uzdilek nazariyat sistemine göre eserin makamsal analizi yapılmış, Töre-Karadeniz sistemine yer yer atıf yapılmış, perde uzunlukları, perde kullanım sayıları ve ezgi hareketleri tespit edilerek istatistikler çıkarılmıştır. Makamsal analiz yapılarak geçki ve çeşniler tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmada Cinuçen Tanrıkorur’un bu bestesiyle; uşşak makamında kullanılan geçki ve çeşnilerin yanında çok kullanılmayan geçki ve çeşnilere de yer verdiği; makamın tiz perdelerinde pek rastlanmayan makam genişlemeleri yaptığı, münâcâta giriş sazı bölümü eklediği; böylece münâcât türüne, münâcât bestekarlığına ve uşşak makamının kullanımına yenilikler getirdiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Published: October 2023

Horses are animals that are affected very quickly by the warnings coming from the environment. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate oxidative stress parameters of horses obtained from saliva analysis related to animal welfare as a result of keeping horses together with goats. While the research was being prepared, three groups were developed based on the time spent sheltering goats and horses. The horses were housed alone in the first and last 15-day groups, and along with the goats in the second 15-day group. In these stages, the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activities and ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) level in saliva were examined. Results showed that MDA and IMA levels decreased, but CAT, GPx, and SOD activities increased. It was concluded that goats had a positive effect on horses according to the oxidative stress parameters examined in terms of animal welfare. However, there is still a need for research that will house horses with various animals in acceptable animal welfare circumstances, analyse their stress metrics, and maintain a high level of welfare.

Published: October 2023

Aims of study was to determine the relationship between steaming up with colostrum production at different milking times. The animals used in this research were 36 pregnant Holstein-Friesian (HF) cows. The method used in this research was a case study. Samples were determined with purposive sampling. The selected animal was divided into two groups, T1 (control) and T2 (steaming up). The steaming up was done two weeks prior to calving. The total average of colostrum production from HF cows that were in T2 group was 11.96±2.40 liter/cow/day, while the mean value of colostrum production from HF cows that were in T1 group was 8.05±1.80 liter/cow/day. The average colostrum production that was collected at morning milking from cows in T2 group was 6.38±1.36 liter/cow/day and at afternoon milking was 5.58±1.11 liter/cow/day, significantly higher than T1 group which was 4.22±0.92 liter/cow/day at morning milking and 3.83±0.90 liter/cow/day. The result of the regression equation on morning milking is Y = 2.059 + 2.159x. This means that steaming up treatment can increase colostrum production by as much as 2.159 liters at morning milking. While the result of the regression equation on afternoon milking is Y = 1.753 + 2.078x. This means steaming up treatment can escalate the colostrum production as much as 2.078 at afternoon milking. That equation is used as the basis for estimating the relationship between steaming up with colostrum production at both milking times, with a correlation coefficient (r) between steaming up and colostrum quantity at morning milking is 0.692, which means the relationship is in the strong category. Meanwhile, the relationship between steaming up and colostrum yield at afternoon milking is 0.666, which means the relationship is also in the strong category. It was concluded that steaming up had a very significant effect at both milking times in Holstein-Friesian cows.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a disease that causes inflammation in blood vessels and can lead to serious heart problems, such as aneurysms. It is important to identify the disease quickly so that preventative measures can be taken. The main symptoms include fever, red eyes, swollen and red tongue, redness and swelling of the hands and feet, and swollen lymph nodes. If you notice these symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. Coronary CT angiography is a very effective test for detecting the presence of aneurysms and other cardiac complications in KD. Treatment includes immunoglobulin and aspirin, which help reduce inflammation in the blood vessels and minimize the risk of serious heart problems. To ensure good heart health in the long term, it is important to have regular follow-up with a cardiologist and undergo additional tests, such as exercise test, to monitor the evolution of the disease. If diagnosed early, KD can be treated successfully and prevent serious complications.

Segundo a Sociedade Brasileira de Queimaduras (SBQ), estima-se que ocorram em torno de 1.000.000 de acidentes por queimaduras ao ano no país. Em nível mundial, segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), as queimaduras estão associadas com altas taxas de morbimortalidade, limitação funcional, desfiguração e estigma social. Estes dados evidenciam a necessidade de investimento constante por parte do sistema de saúde em ações de prevenção e manejo adequado das vítimas de queimaduras. O objetivo desse trabalho é analisar espacialmente e temporalmente o perfil de hospitalizações por queimaduras e corrosões no Brasil nos últimos anos, período correspondente de Janeiro de 2012 a Julho de 2023. O perfil da população mais afetada foram crianças, etnia parda, do sexo masculino, principalmente entre as faixas etárias de 1 a 4 anos, e da região Sudeste e Nordeste. E no que diz respeito aos gastos hospitalares totais por região que a região Sudeste, e a região Nordeste sofreram maior impacto econômico. Nesse sentido, compreende-se a importância de compreender o perfil epidemiológico e os grupos mais suscetíveis a esse tipo de incidente, visando à implementação de medidas preventivas, especialmente dirigidas aos segmentos mais vulneráveis à ocorrência de queimaduras.

As incorporadoras e construtoras, independentemente da região, trabalham com a escolha de um terreno onde irão desenvolver seus empreendimentos. O que difere os terrenos ideais para construir um empreendimento são suas variáveis, que são particulares para cada imóvel, sendo que estas impactam diretamente no valor de sua avaliação. A avaliação de imóveis surge como método de precificação de imóveis com base em diretrizes que possibilitam um resultado decorrente do histórico do mercado e não de um desejo do proprietário. Com isso a utilização do método comparativo de dados vem como principal ferramenta estipulada pela NBR 14653-2, os casos na qual a mesma não se aplica ocorre a substituição por outros métodos estabelecidos na norma. Portanto, o objetivo deste estudo é a determinação do valor de venda com base em pesquisas no mercado imobiliário da região geoeconômica de um terreno na cidade de Quebrangulo -AL, utilizando quatro terrenos para fins de comparação, no qual vai ser utilizado fatores como oferta e venda, fator de melhoramento público, fator de profundidade e fator de testada, resultado em uma avaliação de R$ 55400,00, após correção de 1%. Observando valores condizentes com o histórico da região, entre os valores encontrados tanto em oferta quanto em venda, afirmando a consistência do método que utilizado em grande parte das avaliações de bens. Conclui-se que é crucial o estudo de um modelo estatístico adotando variáveis significativas para avaliar o imóvel a fim de se aumentar a lucratividade do empreendimento.

Os anti-inflamatórios seletivos são medicamentos amplamente utilizados para tratar uma variedade de condições, no entanto seu uso pode desencadear alterações cardiovasculares significativas, diante do índice elevado de comercialização dos anti-inflamatórios não esteroidais, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos cardiovasculares do uso do etoricoxibe em pacientes idosos. Trata-se de uma revisão da literatura, a partir das bases de dados SciELO, PUBMED e Google acadêmico, foram considerados aptos estudos publicados em português e inglês, tendo como data de corte artigos publicados nos últimos 06 anos. Os anti-inflamatórios seletivos COX-2, estão associados a um risco cardiovascular devido a um desequilibro entre duas enzimas, a prostaciclina e o tromboxano A2, a inibição enzimática interfere na homeostase vascular, desencadeando uma disfunção endotelial e eventos pró-trombóticos, afetando a regulação da pressão arterial, contribuindo para o surgimento de alterações cardiovasculares. O uso do etoricoxibe em pacientes idosos pode aumentar a probabilidade de eventos cardiovasculares adversos, especialmente nos indivíduos com fatores de risco preexistentes, pois esse medicamento altera a homeostasia cardiovascular. Os resultados mostraram que a população idosa é vulnerável quanto ao uso do etoricoxibe, o farmacêutico exerce um papel fundamental na assistência farmacoterapêutica ao paciente, melhorando a qualidade de vida do indivíduo, por isso é importante que os profissionais da saúde se atentem na hora de prescrever este medicamento, avaliando sempre o risco-benefício que pode causar à saúde do paciente idoso.
OS QUILOMBOLAS E SEUS DIREITOS NA CONSTITUIÇÃO
Authors: Oliveira Marlene Gomes de Souza
Published: October 2023

O direito dos afrodescendentes quilombolas está ligado à territorialidade, em uma relação de inclusão. Não se trata aqui de um conceito civilista de propriedade, mas sim de compreender o território como local de pertencimento, relacionado à identidade e à dinâmica cultural. O presente estudo tem como objetivo debater o direito fundamental dos quilombolas à titulação das terras por eles tradicionalmente ocupadas, bem como o próprio direito destes grupos à identidade cultural. Visa-se refletir sobre o conceito de comunidades quilombolas, tendo como marco epistemológico a assunção de um Estado pluriétnico. Procurou-se discutir os fundamentos constitucionais que embasam a proteção aos quilombolas. Além das reflexões teóricas sobre as relações entre identidade cultural, Estado Pluriétnico e direitos fundamentais, realizou-se um breve estudo sobre a Ação Direta de Inconstitucionalidade 3239-9, questionadora do Decreto 4887/2003 e da auto-aplicabilidade do art. 68 do ADCT (CRFB/1988).
