Introduction: Enterocutaneous fistula is a common postoperative complication. The incidence of enterocutaneous fistula as a complication of intestinal tuberculosis is quite rare, so we are interested in reporting this case. Case Report: 32-year-old male presented with history of abdominal pain and fecal matter coming out from an opening in umbilical region for the past 1 month. Patient have history of laparotomy exploration 7 months ago and histopathology showed intestinal tuberculosis. Currently, patient was undergoing TB treatment with anti-tubercular treatment (ATT) for the seventh month. Physical examination showed fistulous opening 2x2 cm over the scar of previous laparotomy. Laboratory examination revealed leukocytosis shift to the left and hypoalbuminemia. Chest X-ray showed active pulmonary tuberculosis. Abdominal CT with with contrast showed localized ileus consist of sentinel loop and suggestive intestinal tuberculosis. Diagnosis of tubercular enterocutaneus fistula arising of as a post-operative complication was made. Patient was given intravenous fluids, antibiotics, antitubercular treatment, and wound care. Patient responded well to conservative management. Discussion: Intestinal tuberculosis (TB) is the sixth most common site of extrapulmonary tuberculosis which can occur primary or secondary. Enterocutaneus fistula (ECF) is a rare complication of intestinal TB and can be managed based on whether the output is low or high. Conservative management can be done through administration of intravenous fluids, antibiotics, antitubercular treatment, and wound care

Dilated cardiomyopathy is considered as a dysfunction of the left ventricle systolic function or even both ventricles associated with myocardial dilation. Approximately 50% of cases have an identifiable cause such as genetic mutations, infectious, autoimmune or metabolic diseases, among others. When the origin of dilated cardiomyopathy is not identified, it is considered idiopathic, which constitutes the other 50% of cardiomyopathies. The diagnostic approach is based on laboratory and image studies trying to identify the known causes of dilated cardiomyopathy, the treatment consists in those cases of known etiology cardiomyopathy in the treatment of the underlying disease as well as the heart failure if it presents, if the etiology is unknown we only focus in improve the symptoms caused by cardiomyopathy. We present a case of a 27-year-old man with history of sudden cardiac death in a second degree relative, who initially presented signs of heart failure with later pulmonary thromboembolism secondary to biventricular intracardiac thrombi. A complete diagnostic approach was performed, ruling out genetic and non-genetic causes of dilated cardiomyopathy, without being perform an endomyocardial biopsy to complete the diagnostic approach due to the risk that the procedure involved and the patient's refusal.

Authors:   Emilio Aguinaldo College, Manila, Philippines, Qize He
Published: December 2023

The study utilized a quantitative comparative-correlational research design to examine the relationship between tactical skills training and football player performance. The study focused on students with professional expertise and experience to assess the impact of tactical skills training on football players' performance. The study used a census sampling approach due to the limited availability of instructors and mentors at the selected university. This method ensured diverse viewpoints and mitigated sampling errors by enumerating the entire population. The researcher took 50 sample respondents. The research instrument was a structured questionnaire that measured the assessment and performance level of football players' tactical skills training. The study found a slight inverse relationship between tactical skills training assessments and actual football player performance, with a mean score of 3.098, suggesting that high training scores do not necessarily lead to superior performance, but other factors also play a crucial role.

Las ciencias sociales, la cuestión racial y la Guerra Fría: Brasil como laboratorio
Authors: Cancelli Elizabeth
Published: December 2023

Este artículo analiza las pautas políticas y académicas antirracistas que se llevaron a cabo en un esfuerzo por resolver la cuestión negra después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. El estudio recupera las políticas de la Guerra Fría en un momento en que Brasil es concebido como laboratorio de Ciencias Sociales para buscar soluciones frente al desafío del gran dilema moral que supuso el totalitarismo en relación con la cuestión racial. Esta agenda internacional marcó caminos para incentivar cambios sociales que promovieran los principios de la justicia social y los Derechos Humanos. La presencia de la UNESCO fue fundamental en el sentido de generar políticas públicas que tuvieran un efecto concreto en la superación del racismo y el segregacionismo. Para la creación de estas políticas, más tarde conocidas como “afirmativas”, fueron esenciales los efectos de los cambios sociales debidos a las innovaciones capitalistas en sociedades con un pasado esclavista y la identificación del color como obstáculo para la movilidad social.

Published: December 2023

Problem Statement. Professional education in circus has been increasing worldwide, placing the training programmes at the center of circus debate. Purpose. Concerning the physical demands of circus students, this research describes the body composition of Brazilian National Circus School students. Approach. Skinfold analyses was used to estimate body fat (%), fat free mass (kg) and body mass index (kg/m-2) in 57 students (n= 30 men, n= 27 women). Results. Men presented higher body weight, height, fat free mass (men 67.2 ± 7.0 kg and 45.7 ± 4.7 kg and for women), body mass index (men 24.1 ±1.6 kg/m2 and women 21.4 ± 2.0 kg/m2) and lower body fat (%) compared to women (men 7.2 ± 3.7 % and women 16.3 ± 3.7). The reassessment showed no differences in body composition for both sexes, a large heterogeneity of interindividual responses was observed (-3.9 to 4.0 for women; -1.5 to 6,5 men). Conclusions. The body fat and body mass index are similar to high performance athletes. No difference was observed between the assessments. The interindividual response to training showed no effect on body fat. However, the interindividual heterogeneity responses suggest adjustments of physical conditioning protocol in order to optimize the responses individually. The 7 or 3 skinfold protocol did not differ on the outcomes. Body composition of circus students’ needs to take into account the circus disciplines, age and biological diversity, and it is a key aspect to monitor training to avoid unsafe situations or unhealthy status.

Authors: Cuenca-Soto Nuria , Santos-Pastor María Luisa , Chiva-Bartoll Oscar , Martínez-Muñoz Luis Fernando
Published: December 2023

Over the past decades, public policies have aimed to promote gender equality and a gender perspective in educational and research settings. However, Higher Education shows significant deficiencies in gender-related training in its curricula. This article aims to define the pedagogical model called Critical Feminist Service-Learning, presenting a series of keys that allow feminist theories to be applied in real-life contexts within the framework of Physical Activity and Sports. This model facilitates educational advancements through transformative approaches that prioritize gender equity and social justice. Focused on the teaching of Physical Activity and Sports, it explores the confluence of various feminist philosophies and theories in Service-Learning, aligning with the principles of feminist pedagogies. While recognizing the successes of this Service-Learning approach, a call is made for a text that consolidates and synthesizes this perspective, proposing a clear general model as described here. In contrast to the prevailing model, the traditional charity-oriented Service-Learning that predominates in educational institutions, Critical Feminist Service-Learning includes all participants as beneficiaries. It critiques hierarchical society, recognizes underrepresented groups and voices, moving away from structures that reinforce social orders and structural oppression. The advocated pedagogical model here offers a practical solution to promote gender equality and social justice in educational and research environments, specifically in the context of Physical Activity and Sports, promoting the use of transformative pedagogies in Higher Education.

Bioenergy crops monitoring using Sentinel-2 and UAV-derived imagery
Authors: Prysiazhniuk O. I. , Maliarenko O. A. , Lazdiņš A. , Kostyna T. P.
Published: December 2023

Purpose. Establishing the regularities for the monitoring of the bioenergy crop conditions using Sentinel-2 and UAV-derived imagery.
Methods. A field experiment was carried out in an experimental field of the Institute of Bioenergy Crops and Sugar Beet National Academy of Agrarian Sciences of Ukraine (50.023194, 30.173895), located in a zone of unstable soil moisture in the Right Bank Forest Steppe, in 2022−2023.
Results. Among the studied traditional crops, sugar sorghum, sugar beet, and fodder beet are interesting crops from the standpoint of biomass for energy, as they can produce 110 t/ha, 120 t/ha, and 135 t/ha of biomass, respectively, or 20 t/ha, 26 t/ha, and 24 t/ha of dry matter, respectively. The yield of energy crops can be predicted with an acceptable level of accuracy using many known vegetation indices. However, the relationships between vegetation indices and crop yield are not consistent at every stage of plant growth and development, leading to low accuracy in yield estimation. The combination of vegetation indices related to the structural characteristics of the canopy and chlorophyll content in the aboveground biomass can improve the accuracy of yield estimation. Moreover, combining vegetation indices related to canopy structure, chlorophyll content, and stress indices as input to yield prediction models may provide even higher correlations for yield prediction.
Conclusions. Usually, plantations of miscanthus and switchgrass are fertilised annually, while willow and poplar are fertilised every 3–4 years, after each harvesting. Therefore, the nutrient provision of tree species may not be sufficient. It was found that the content of total nitrogen in the soil of bioenergy plantations highly correlates with NDVI. To use NDVI for bioenergy crop prediction, an algorithm for determining the level of plant nutrients should be developed. It was found that at the end of the growing season (September or early October), the use of vegetation indices allows for the accurate estimation of the size and condition of bioenergy plantations since most crops in this period are already harvested. Sentinel-2-derived imagery is useful for monitoring bioenergy crop plantations as it provides images with a resolution of 10 m at 3–5-day revisiting time. We investigated NDVI on a total area of Miscanthus × gigantheus plantations of 2.9 ha. The satellite-derived data accumulated and aggregated by the OneSoil application as of August 20 and September 19 resulted in NDVI values of 0.80 and 0.70, respectively, while the NDVI obtained with UAV imagery was 0.82 and 0.77, respectively. Consequently, the satellite can provide quite acceptable NDVI data for use in the monitoring of bioenergy plantation yield at the national level.

Published: December 2023

Ranunculus L. genus has 84 species in Turkey, when subspecies and varieties are included in this number, it is represented by a total of 102 taxa. 22 of which are endemic, the endemism rate is 21.5%. Since many members of the genus Ranunculus cannot be distinguished from each other with definite differences, they have been tried to be defined and expressed as species complexes taxonomically. Most of the systematic studies are in the direction of regulating such complexes. It is known that karyological characters are of great importance in the phylogenetic classification of the Ranunculaceae family.

In this study, it is aimed to reveal the karyological characteristics of three species which are very similar to each other, in Group A of Ranunculus subgenus of Ranunculus L. in Volume 1 of Flora of Turkey morphologically by using cytogenetic methods. In this context, the karyological characteristics of R. diversifolius Boiss. & Kotschy, R. poluninii Davis and R. crateris Davis species have been determined. R. poluninii and R. crateris species are endemic to our country and are Iran-Turanian element. R. diversifolius species, on the other hand, is distributed in the East of Turkey.

It has been determined that all three species whose chromosomal characteristics were examined are diploid and their chromosome numbers are x=8, 2n=16. It has also been determined that these three species, which are morphologically similar to each other, are the same in terms of chromosome number but different in terms of chromosome morphology and each species has its own characteristics. With this study, the chromosomal characteristics of these three species have been determined for the first time by us and have been brought to the literature.

Legal and Regulatory Frameworks For Sharī’a Governance Practices in the Islamic Banking Industry of Bangladesh
Authors: ALAM M. K. , ERSHAD UDDIN Ahm
Published: December 2023

This paper aims to explore the regulatory arrangements for sharī’a governance practices in the Islamic banking industry of Bangladesh and to identify the issues and challenges faced in this regard. Despite notable advancements, the necessity for a more robust regulatory framework, separate from the modified Banking Companies Act of 1991, which currently integrates Islamic banking regulations, remains apparent. A conspicuous challenge lies in the lack of a dedicated department within Bangladesh Bank responsible for overseeing Islamic banking activities. The article suggests an independent government-supervised Sharī’a board. This study enhances Bangladesh's Islamic banking regulation and promotes an understanding of sharī’a governance. The research is based on the review of existing literature but lacks empirical evidence. It has been stated in previous studies that a survey method can be used to examine real scenarios. This paper discusses the effectiveness of the Islamic Law Rules in the current practices of Islamic banks in Bangladesh, shedding light on their deficiencies.

Relationship between hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet (HALP) score and 28-day mortality in very elderly geriatric critically ill patients with acute ischemic stroke
Authors: SOYLU Veysel Garani
Published: December 2023

Aim: In this study, we aimed to evaluate the relationship between the HALP score, calculated by hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte and platelet values, and 28-day mortality in very elderly geriatric critically ill patients with acute ischemic stroke.Material and Method: The study was designed retrospectively and patients aged 85 years and older admitted to the general intensive care unit with the diagnosis of acute ischemic stroke were evaluated. Demographic data, laboratory data and HALP scores of these patients were recorded. Patients who died within 28 days in intensive care follow-up were defined as the Non-Survival group, and patients who did not die were defined as the survival group.Results:There was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of hemoglobin values admitted to the intensive care unit (p:0.00). For albumin, patients in the Non-Survival group had lower values, but there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p: 0.054). Non-Survival group had lower values for lymphocytes and there was a statistically significant difference between the groups (p: 0.00). For platelet value, patients in the Non-Survival group had higher values and there was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p: 0.164). Patients in the Non-Survival group had lower values for HALP score and there was a statistically significant difference between the groups (p: 0.00)Conclusion: The HALP score is associated with 28-day mortality in very elderly geriatric critically ill patients with acute ischemic stroke. However, it has low sensitivity (30.1%) and specificity (27.9%).

Published: December 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to comprehensively investigate the clinical manifestations and outcomes of prenatally diagnosed isolated interrupted inferior vena cava (IIVC) with azygos continuation to shed light on the significance of prenatal diagnosis.

Methods: A longitudinal study involved 12 fetuses prenatally diagnosed with IIVC and azygos continuation. Detailed fetal anomaly scans and echocardiography were performed, and pediatric cardiologists confirmed postnatal diagnoses. Genetic testing and extensive follow-ups were also performed.

Results: The study confirmed the high diagnostic accuracy of prenatal identification, with 100% postnatal confirmation. Most patients exhibited favorable outcomes, emphasizing the importance of prenatal diagnosis. Genetic testing revealed normal chromosomal arrangements in all tested cases.

Conclusion: Our study underscores the vital role of prenatal diagnosis in managing isolated IIVC cases and highlights their generally favorable prognosis. This study contributes to understanding this rare vascular anomaly and its implications for clinical practice.

Objevtive: The aim of the study is to investigate the wound healing and antibacterial activity of terebinth extract and the mixture of terebinth + 3% oxytetracycline in experimental wounds in mice.
Material-Method: The animal material of the study consisted of 18 mice. The animals were divided into 3 groups as control group (group I, n: 6), terebinth group (group II, n: 6), terebinth +oxytetracycline group (group III, n: 6). Wounds with a 1-cm2 diameter were induced on the back of the mice and infected with Staphylococcus aureus ATCC® 25923 reference strain. Treatment protocols of the groups were applied daily. Total aerobic mesophilic bacteria and S. aureus count was performed in the swab samples taken on days 3, 7, and 14 of the healing process.
Results: In the study, it was found that wound healing process was completed the earliest in Group III (mean duration of 15.67±0.609 days), which was followed by Group II (18±0.73) and Group I (24.67±0.919), respectively. The healing period was statistically significantly shorter in Group II and Group III than in Group I (p<0.001). In the evaluation of aerobic mesophilic bacteria and S. aureus load, much less live bacteria were found in Group III compared to the other groups. In addition, the bacteria count in group II, in which terebinth extract was used, was less than that of the control group.
Conclusion: Consequently, it was concluded that the extract of terebinth plant grown in Siirt region reduced the bacterial load in the wound area and accelerated the healing process.
Georgi Gerdzhikov’s Views on Parts of Speech and the Grammatical Dominant of Inflectional Languages
Authors:   Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, Aleksova Krasimira
Published: December 2023

The article deals with Georgi Gerdzhikov’s classification of parts of speech in Bulgarian with a view to the criteria it was based upon. As a result, I propose a new, extended version of his classification. I also look into his idea of the grammatical dominants of isolating, agglutinative and inflectional languages through the concepts of autonomous grammatical meaning, positional grammatical meaning and the cover term of global grammatical meaning.
Subjectless Sentences, Impersonal Verbs, Predicatives and Subjectivity-expressing Forms in Bulgarian
Authors:   INSTITUTE FOR BULGARIAN LANGUAGE, BULGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, Stamenov Maxim
Published: December 2023

One of the essential aspects of the concept of subjectivity proposed by Émile Ben-veniste (1966) is related to the idea that there are only two parts of speech in the lan-guage where the category of subjectivity is directly expressed in the category of gram-matical person – these are (personal and possessive) pronouns and verbs. In sentences comprising a subject and a predicate, the person of the nominally or pronominally ex-pressed subject must agree in person with the finite verb form (predicate). Taking this assumption as a point of departure, I consider the possibilities for realising the category of subjectivity in the cases where (pro)noun – verb person agreement is violated, as in the socalled subjectless sentences in Bulgarian.
A Typology of Doublet Adjectives (Based on Material from the Official Spelling Dictionary of the Bulgarian Language, 2012)
Authors:   INSTITUTE FOR BULGARIAN LANGUAGE, BULGARIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES, Zlateva Zhaneta

This paper discusses doublet adjectives with respect to the current spelling norms. I analyse the doublets according to the respective linguistic level, seeking to establish correlations between the characteristics of adjectives as a part of speech and the occurrence of doublets in the grammatical class.
On the Independent Status of Participles
Authors:   PAISII HILENDARSKI UNIVERSITY OF PLOVDIV, Dimitrova Desislava
Published: December 2023

The paper presents an account of participles as an independent class of lexemes on the basis of their morphemic structure. The participial morphemes -л and -н/-т in the structure of the so-called past perfect active and past passive participles are treated as primary expressors of resultative and passive semantics. These morphemes are not only word-forming segments but also indicators of grammatical semantics. This is an important argument for the exclusion of participles both from the verbal and from the adjectival system as proposed by Kutsarov (Куцаров/Kutsarov 2012). In addition, I present models for the morphemic segmentation of adjectives, verbs and participles.
Dynamic behavior analysis and ensemble learning for credit card attrition prediction
Authors: Chen Bolin
Published: December 2023

Credit card attrition imposes a substantial business cost for financial institutions. Early and accurate prediction of customer churn allows banks to take proactive retention measures. However, modeling credit card attrition presents complex challenges given evolutionary customer spending behaviors. This paper puts forth a robust methodology harnessing dynamic behavior analysis along with ensemble learning to capture non-static patterns in transaction data. Explainability techniques further enable interpretation of attrition likelihood on an individual customer basis. Rigorous experiments demonstrate significant predictive performance improvements attained using the proposed approach.
