This study examines how the addition of NPK fertilizers impacts the change in Nardus stricta type grasslands. The investigation was carried out on the mountain Kopaonik between 2009 and 2012. The effects of four fertilizing treatments: control; N60 (N60P60K60); N90 (N90P60K60); N120 (N120P60K60) on plant species composition, Shannon evenness, and EGQ (evaluation grassland quality index) were researched. The control treatment was dominated by Nardus stricta species, while Festuca rubra and Agrostis capillaris presence was a feature of fertilizing treatments. The highest nitrogen intake (N120) had Shannon evenness that was very similar to that of the control. All fertilizing treatments resulted in increasing forage value.

The growth and metabolism of plants, especially on acidic soils, largely depend on the concentration of cobalt (Co) in the soil, i.e. the rhizosphere. An optimal supply of cobalt is essential for N2 fixation of Rhizobium bacteria that are in symbiotic relationships with leguminous plants, influencing their better growth and supplying them with nitrogen. When there is a lack of Co in the plant, the organic production of legumes falls. Indirectly or directly, Co also affects other metabolic processes in plants. The aim of the work was to analyze the importance of optimal provision of forage legumes with cobalt for obtaining high and quality yields of forage and seeds.
MECHANISMS AFFECTING THE SPEED AND DIRECTION OF VACUUM ARC CATHODE SPOTS MOVEMENT IN A MAGNETIC FIELD
Authors: Vasyliev V.V. , Strel’nitskij V.E.
Published: March 2023

Based on the known experimental and theoretical data, a new model of the plasma jet, which emit by cathode spot (СS) along the magnetic field proposed. According to this model, the plasma jet contains an oppositely directed current of accelerated ions of the cathode material with an excess positive charge and a current of accelerated
electrons with an excess negative charge, between which an electric field of polarization of the plasma jet formed. Based on this model, the basic parameters of the plasma jet from the external parameters of the magnetic field, the arc current, and the average charge state of the ions calculated. The main mechanisms affecting the speed and
direction of movement of the arc CS on the cathode end surface clarified for the first time.

Auditory and Language Features in Children with 18q Deletion: From Diagnosis to Treatment
Authors: Caragli Valeria
Published: March 2023

Introduction: 18q deletion is a rare genetic condition which occurs approximately 1 in 40,000 live births. Site and size of mutation on DNA may be very different among patients. The aim of this study is to describe three cases of 18q, analyzing their auditory and language skills. A secondary aim is to compare our results with those reported in the literature in order to propose a standardized assessment protocol and guidelines for auditory treatment and rehabilitation.

Method: We describe the clinical cases of three pediatric patients with 18q deletion. All children underwent detailed audiological evaluations, including otoscopy, Pure Tone Audiometry (PTA) and Auditory Brainstem Responses (ABRs). We also administered them language and speech tests, depending on children age and skills.

We propose different solutions for auditory rehabilitation and we compare our patient’s outcomes with those described in the literature.

Results: All children showed hearing and narrow External Auditory Canals (EACs). Type of auditory rehabilitation changed among patients. Comorbidities and severity of the disease varied according to the genetic mutation.

Data from the literature review are consistent with our findings.

Conclusion: Despite the heterogeneity of phenotypes and severity, hearing loss and stenotic EACs were detected in all our patients with 18q deletion. Accurate diagnosis and follow-up are mandatory to improve auditory and language skills and quality of life. Due to the complexity of the cases, no standardized assessment protocols or treatment could be routinely proposed.

Published: March 2023

Introduction: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is garnering increasing interest and acceptance among the general population. Although usage is thought to be widespread among paediatric cancer patients, local studies have not been done. We aimed to investigate the prevalence and predictors of CAM usage in paediatric cancer patients in a single institution.

Materials and Methods: Parents of 73 paediatric cancer patients treated at KK Women’s & Children’s Hospital completed an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Data about the types of CAM therapies used, motivations for use, adverse effects, costs and discussion of usage with the patient’s physician were obtained. General perceptions towards CAM and conventional medicine were explored. A subsequent telephone survey enquired about spirituality, benefits of CAM use and overall satisfaction with the therapies.
Results: Two-thirds of patients used at least 1 CAM treatment, mainly as supportive adjuncts to conventional cancer treatment. Dietary changes, health supplements, herbal tea and bird’s nest were the most common therapies used. Few patients (8.1%) consulted a CAM practitioner. Positive predictors of CAM usage included being of Chinese race, the practice of Buddhism or Taoism, the use of CAM prior to diagnosis, perception of CAM effectiveness and dissatisfaction with conventional treatment. Significantly, 55.1% of the parents had not discussed their CAM usage with their child’s physician.
Conclusions: A substantial proportion of paediatric cancer patients utilises CAM therapies, often without their physician’s knowledge. Healthcare providers need to remain cognisant of the potential implications of CAM usage in order to proactively counsel patients. This would ensure that conventional therapy remains uncompromised.

Introduction: This study evaluated the knowledge, attitudes and practices of Southeast Asian dermatologists in the management of atopic dermatitis (AD).

Materials and Methods: A questionnaire survey of 255 dermatologists in Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Results: Familiarity with diagnostic criteria varied considerably. The usage of moisturisers by the respondents from Vietnam and Indonesia was significantly less frequent than the other countries. Most respondents (91% to 100%) used topical corticosteroids in children with mild-to-moderately severe dermatitis. Some respondents in the Philippines (17% to 19%) and Vietnam (11% to 25%) only used topical corticosteroids for severe disease. For infected eczema, most respondents would prescribe systemic antibiotics for mild-to-moderate infection. A minority in the Philippines (14%) and Vietnam (11%) did so only for severe infection. The top 4 systemic antibiotics prescribed most frequently were: erythromycin, cloxacillin, cephalosporin and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid. In Indonesia, a large proportion of the respondents (47%) prescribed amoxicillin most frequently. The majority of respondents (60% to 100%) prescribed both sedating and non-sedating oral antihistamines. Most respondents used oral corticosteroids to treat severe AD. Some in Malaysia, Singapore and Vietnam used cyclosporin (7% to 58%), azathioprine (5% to 31%) and methotrexate (5% to 14%). With the exception of those in Singapore, the majority of respondents (71% to 97%) did not use phototherapy.
Conclusion: Familiarity with diagnostic criteria, the early and judicious use of moisturisers and topical corticosteroids, as well as the treatment of Staphylococcus aureus superinfection with penicillinase-stable antibiotics should be emphasised in this region.
The Effectiveness of Transvaginal Anterior Colporrhaphy Reinforced with Polypropylene Mesh in the Treatment of Severe Cystoceles
Authors: Ng Christopher CM , Chong Christopher YL
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Grade 4 cystoceles are among the most challenging to achieve a successful repair for gynaecologists. The high rate of recurrence of severe prolapse encouraged surgeons to use meshes. Only recently have meshes been used transvaginally for pelvic organ prolapse. The aim of our pilot study was therefore to determine the effectiveness of transvaginal anterior colporrhaphy reinforced with prolene mesh in the treatment of severe or recurrent cystoceles by looking at their primary surgical outcomes as well as their complications.

Materials and Methods: This was a retrospective study conducted by the urogynaecology unit at KK Women’s and Children’s Hospital (KKWCH) in Singapore based on operations performed from April 2002 to December 2003. The inclusion criterion was that women had to have at least a grade 4 or recurrent grade 3 cystocele and had undergone a vaginal anterior colporrhaphy reinforced with prolene mesh. The women were further subdivided into 3 groups depending on whether vaginal hysterectomies were performed or not as well as the absence or presence of the uterus.
Results: Thirty-seven patients with severe cystoceles underwent this procedure. The 3 mean follow-up times for the 3 groups ranged from 14.4 to 19.2 months (range, 2 to 32). Overall for the 3 groups, 75.7% were cured with no or grade 1 cystocele, 18.9% had asymptomatic grade 2 cystocele while 5.4% developed grade 3 or 4 cystocele. There were no mesh erosions.
Conclusion: Transvaginal anterior colporrhaphy reinforced with a tension-free prolene mesh in the treatment of severe or recurrent cystoceles is simple, safe, easily performed and is associated with a low failure rate and morbidity.

Unravelling the Mystery in a Case of Persistent ACTH-independent Cushing’s Syndrome
Authors: Lim Ling Choo , Tan Leonard HC , Rajasoorya C
Published: March 2023

Introduction: We present a rare variety of adrenocorticotrophic hormone (ACTH)-independent Cushing’s syndrome known as primary pigmented nodular adrenocortical disease (PPNAD).

Clinical Picture: The patient initially underwent unilateral adrenalectomy for what was thought to be a left adrenal adenoma.
Outcome: Partial resolution of symptoms and demonstrable persistent hypercortisolism after surgery prompted further evaluation with findings leading to the diagnosis of Carney complex. A review of the adrenal histology was consistent with PPNAD.
Conclusion: This entity of PPNAD, which has rarely been reported in Asians, forms part of the Carney complex. The diagnosis may not be simple and straightforward, as illustrated in this patient.

The impact of low temperature on the Korolkov Aronnik plant triggers the expression of the CBF family of transcription factors, which, in turn, activate many downstream genes that confer plant resistance to cold and frost. The article will consider the identification of the ICE1 gene (inducer of CBF 1 expression) by Aronnik Korolkov, an upstream transcription factor that regulates the transcription of CBF genes during cold. A mutation in the wild Aronnik Korolkov blocks the expression of CBF3 and reduces the expression of many genes located downstream of CBFs, which leads to a significant decrease in plant resistance to cold and freezing. The ICE1 genes of the Aronnik Korolkov plant encode the MYC-like transcription activator BHLH. ICE1 binds specifically to MYC recognition sequences in the CBF3 promoter.

School self-management has come to be seen as a participatory and collaborative process between all school teachers and the surrounding community and its institutions. This quantitative study examines reality using the self-management of school principals. The sample of the study involved 215 principals of schools in the green line region of Palestine. A questionnaire was emailed and posted on social media (Facebook and WhatsApp) to collect data. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences was used to analyze the data. The findings of the study were: (i) self-management faces great challenges in its application; (ii) principals do not involve teachers and society in decision-making. (iii) The inability of school principals to set the general objectives of the curriculum due to a lack of experience; (iv) Some principals were unable to create teachers who carried out their duties through self-management.

Authors:   , Ventura Pedro Corrêa
Published: March 2023

Na última década, o Estado do Rio de Janeiro passou por um período de crise econômica mais profunda, com uma lenta recuperação e grande número de fechamento de empresas. Nesse mesmo período, os índices de violência atingiram patamares recordes. Diante deste cenário, este estudo busca analisar a relação empírica entre os crimes contra o patrimônio das empresas, utilizando dados sobre roubo de carga e roubo a estabelecimento, e a probabilidade de a empresa fechar no Estado do Rio de Janeiro entre os anos de 2010 e 2018. Para isso, são utilizados os modelos linear e logit de dados em painel de efeito fixo. Foram utilizadas as bases da Receita Federal, com as informações do universo de empresas do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, e do Instituto de Segurança Pública do Estado do Rio de Janeiro, com os dados de crimes. Os resultados das estimações mostram que os crimes contra o patrimônio das empresas têm impacto positivo sobre a probabilidade de as empresas fecharem. O efeito marginal do roubo de carga sobre a probabilidade de as empresas fecharem variou de 8,99 a 10,18 pontos percentuais, enquanto, este mesmo efeito, para o roubo a estabelecimento, é de 3,09 pontos percentuais. Além da violência corrente, também é analisada a relação empírica entre o histórico de crimes contra o patrimônio das empresas e a probabilidade de fechamento destas. O histórico dos crimes contra o patrimônio das empresas apresenta uma relação maior do que as variáveis de crimes dos anos correntes. A relação entre o histórico de roubos de carga e a probabilidade de as empresas fecharem no ano corrente variou de 9,86 a 12,56 pontos percentuais. Em relação ao histórico de roubos a estabelecimento, o efeito marginal sobre a probabilidade de as empresas fecharem é de 4,09 pontos percentuais. Palavras-chave: Criminalidade.

Australian education has had a long tradition of providing education to children in its rural and remote places. Starting with one teacher schools that were temporary, or provisional or half time in both their operation and nature through to itinerant traveling teachers originally in covered wagons and then motor vehicles leading to the permanent establishment of primary schools in rural locations, every state and territory education authority and rural community have recognised the value and importance of providing education for its children where they live. Yet, in spite of the strong demand for rural schools and staffing operations in each Australian state and territory education system, rural education was the often neglected or treated like the ugly duckling‘ to quote Johnathon Sher‘s words. While teacher unions and teacher professional / curriculum organisations emerged and flourished, there was no equivalent voice for rural education, rural teachers, rural communities and their specific place related concerns.
Youth Exodus and Rural Communities
Authors: Halsey R. John
Published: March 2023

One of the common characteristics of rural communities globally, and especially those in the developed countries of the world, is the exodus of youth in search of 'greener pastures'. Alston and Kent (2003) argue that "[t]he lack of meaningful full-time work in rural areas is one of the main reasons for young people leaving rural communities" (p. 6). Limited post-secondary education and training is another significant reason for the exodus of youth from rural areas. Often added to this is a gender imbalance, where young females leave rural areas at a higher rate than young males. There are also challenges associated with the education of Indigenous youth so they have choices about their cultural identity, employment opportunities and personal fulfilment.
Web 2.0 and the Impact of ICT Fuelled Participatory Culture in Rural and Remote Education
Authors: Anderson Neil
Published: March 2023

This paper and presentation reviews the collective opinion of key Australian researchers, concerning the emerging technologies most likely to have a significant impact on learning and teaching in regional, rural and remote areas. It then draws on the conclusions of the Horizon Report (2008) concerning key lCT drivers likely to influence 'learning-focused organizations'. It will examine how these drivers might be influential in practice by reflecting on the forms of 'participatory culture' outlined by Jenkins (2006). International and national case studies will be used to illustrate the practical implementation of these new resources and theoretical frameworks. These case studies include international examples such as the Jhai Project in Laos and tile One Laptop per Child Project initiated by Negroponte and colleagues at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). National examples include a cluster of Schools west of Longreach in Queensland using videoconferencing for teacher professional learning prior to the implementation of a classroom unit enhanced by the use of blogs and robotics, and a cluster of schools in North Queensland building a hovercraft and using dataloggers to monitor and improve performance.

DETERMINATION OF ELEMENTS IN VISCOUS ORGANIC LIQUIDS BY ARC ATOMIC EMISSION SPECTROMETRY
Authors: Savinov S. S. , Zverkov N. A. , Drobyshev A. I.
Published: March 2023

It is shown that direct analysis of viscous organic liquids (medical and industrial adhesives, polymeric flocculant) by arc atomic emission spectrometry using aqueous standard solutions for constructing calibration dependences is impossible due to the matrix effect. This limitation is eliminated when the samples are

diluted by at least in an order of magnitude, which leads to an increase in the limits of detection. A simplified scheme of acid mineralization of samples directly on the electrode (50 μL of nitric acid per 10 μL of sample) is proposed. The absence of the influence of the matrix is confirmed by the calculation of plasma

parameters and comparison with the results obtained after traditional acid decomposition. The proposed method allows in a short time to obtain information on the content of a set of elements (Ag, Al, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Mg, Mn, Ni, P, Pb, Ti, V, Zn) from hundredths of mg/kg in viscous organic liquids.

Published: March 2023

We experimentally investigated photoluminescence, photocurrent relaxation, and the lux-ampere characteristic of photoconductivity in FeGaInS4 single crystals upon second-harmonic excitation by a pulsed YAG:Nd3+ laser. It is shown that the photoluminescence band can be associated with the recombination of bands on impurity or the recombination of donor-acceptor pairs. The decrease in the lifetime upon excitation is due to the high concentration of nonequilibrium carriers generated by high-power laser radiation. An explanation of the lux-ampere characteristic of photoconductivity is given.
A német-francia kapcsolatok zavarai és azok hatása
Authors: Barabás T. János
Published: March 2023

A Franciaország és Németország közötti kapcsolatok zavara az Európai Unió újrakonfigurálásához vezethet. A jelenlegi biztonságpolitikai elképzelések, így a közös rakétapajzs ügye vagy az eltérő energiapolitika rávilágít a két ország közötti nézetkülönbségekre. Emellett, megítélésem szerint, az ukrajnai háború egyben a két ország közötti diplomácia kudarca is Oroszországgal szemben. A Franciaország és Olaszország közötti 2021-es Quirinale-szerződés volt az első jele a francia–német tandem destabilizálódásának. Ez a szerződés a német–francia Elysée szerződés másolata volt, és egy francia–olasz duó létrehozását javasolta – meglátásom szerint Németország ellensúlyozására. A magyar gazdaság és a haderőreform a francia–német páros jó működésével számolt. Berlin és Párizs kapcsolatának zavarai tehát komoly kihívás számunkra is. De mint minden kihívás, egyben lehetőség is, hiszen cselekvően részt vehetünk Európa és a NATO biztonsági együttműködéseinek megújításában.

Authors: Hakizimana Samuel , Makau Stephen Muathe , Kavinda Lucy
Published: March 2023

Small and medium-sized businesses are crucial for creating jobs and reducing poverty, and Rwanda's economic growth. Business development services as a central component of government and non-government initiatives to expand occupation, provide greater income, and give economic stability. However, small and medium enterprises in Rwanda are experiencing poor performance since there was a reduction in SMEs Output from 58% in 2020 to 30% in 2021. Those obstacles can be improved by adopting business development services as an approach. Therefore, the focus of this paper was to examine how business development services affect the performance of youth-owned small and medium enterprises in Kigali City, Rwanda. The Resource-Based View, the Theory of Stage of Development, and Schumpeter’s Theory of Innovation were the main theories. This study used positivism as a research philosophy. An explanatory research design was employed on a sample size of 154 small and medium enterprises selected from the target population of 256 small and medium enterprises in Kigali, Rwanda. The study recommends policy and practice ramifications that can be used to improve business development services on the performance of youth-owned businesses in Rwanda. The study recommends the management of youth-owned enterprises strengthen their networking services, financial services, training services, and marketing services so that small and medium enterprises will be able to learn more and gain vital business potential which will enable them to better manage their businesses and enhance their long-term profitability and performance. Furthermore, the findings also established that government regulations in Rwanda significantly moderate the relationship between business development services and the performance of the business in Kigali city. In particular, the government should review taxes charged by the running of the enterprise and the process of obtaining a license to participate in the business. This will make it possible for young business owners to understand and take advantage of numerous business development services, which will ultimately improve their business performance.

The aim of the current study is to determine the virulence genes of E. faecalis and polymorphism in these bacteria. A total of 300 females  who visited the outpatient clinics in the Maternity and Pediatrics Teaching Hospital in Al-Diwaniya city, Iraq were enrolled. For twenty isolates of E. faecalis that showed dense growth when cultured on the specified culture media, then the sensitivity to antibiotics was tested, and then the virulence genes were determined for each isolate, where the results were shown there are statistically significant differences (P<0.05) in the presence of virulence genes in the tested bacterial isolates. (where the genetic analysis by PCR showed the presence of all virulence genes, except for isolate 3 of the gene esp (Enterococcal surface production protein), and isolates 11, 12, 15, 16 and 19 of the hly gene (haemolysin production). ERlC results showed the most of the isolates share a DNA segment of length 1500, 1000 bp, and 2000 pb. The curve also shows that most of the isolates lack the presence of the segment of length 500 pb. As for the pieces of 700, 600 and 400 bp, they showed a very high heterogeneity between the isolates. ln conclusion, most genes responsible for virulence factors were positive, except for hly, which showed positive results for nearly more than half of the isolates, that the virulence factors of said bacteria are a major focus of infection in said bacteria, and if these genes are not available, they are unable to hit or stick to the surface of the vagina. There were two types of genetic polymorphism in strains, one of which is caused by horizontal transmission between strains via plasmids and other horizontal transmission methods, and the other is caused by vertical transmission through mutations that occur between generations, causing high resistance to some antibiotics. vitality.
Monoclonal CGRP- (R) antibodies for the prevention of migraine
Authors:   Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany, Reuter Uwe
Published: March 2023

A new era in migraine prophylaxis has begun with the launch of antibodies blocking the Calcitonin-Gene Related Peptide (CGRP) pathway. These substances act across the entire frequency spectrum of migraine and have a tolerability superior to any other class of migraine preventatives based on our clinical and experimental knowledge of a 5- year period of use.  Their superior tolerability profile may be due to their specificity.  New questions have also arrived with these drugs ranging from the duration of therapy and treatment pause to the question which monoclonal antibodies (mAb) for which patient - a question which we cannot answer at this stage. Nevertheless, CGRP – ® mAbs offer a class of migraine prophylactics with significant advantages over older medications.

Published: March 2023

Intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is caused by spontaneous, non-traumatic haemorrhage within the brain parenchyma. ICH has poor outcomes, with a 30-40% 1-month case fatality and most survivors remaining dependent. Current management of ICH is aimed at providing appropriate supportive care and reducing the risk of haematoma expansion, which affects up to 20-30% of patients in the first 24 hours. Rapid and intensive blood pressure lowering to a pre-specified target and reversal of anticoagulants in the 20% of patients who are taking them may reduce the risk of expansion and improve outcome.
INSTRUMENTO DE PLANEJAMENTO URBANO E GESTÃO URBANA PARTICIPATIVA:

Published: March 2023

Estimular o envolvimento da sociedade nas ações de planejamento urbano e gestão urbana é um dos grandes desafios contemporâneos ao se pensar a produção do espaço urbano. As constantes revisões dos planos diretores possibilitam a participação coletiva. No entanto, o envolvimento popular pouco acontece na prática, resultando na conformação de planos diretores negligentes em relação às demandas coletivas. O Orçamento Participativo é uma alternativa para estimular o envolvimento popular nos processos de planejamento urbano e gestão urbana. Este trabalho objetiva propor o planejamento, implantação e execução do Orçamento Participativo na cidade de Presidente Prudente/SP. Para isso, foram realizadas adaptações referentes ao modus operandi dos três casos utilizados como referência, Porto Alegre-RS e Olinda-PE. A divisão de Presidente Prudente em setores administrativos baseou-se na variável social renda como critério principal, uma vez que as condições socioeconômicas são aquelas que mais aproximam os citadinos com demandas semelhantes, aglutinando-os em seus respectivos setores. Em nossa proposta, a divisão da cidade em SPA’s deu origem a conformação de 12 setores com características semelhantes entre si. O planejamento e execução da proposta foram detalhados, com destaque para a realização de audiências itinerantes para a definição das demandas prioritárias de cada setor.

As terras de santo são aquelas doadas e escrituradas em nome de deidades de devoção da Igreja Católica e, juntamente com outras propriedades eclesiásticas, constituem os patrimônios religiosos. A constituição do patrimônio religioso da Diocese de Três Lagoas está relacionada ao processo de formação territorial do Bolsão (MS), visto que foi estabelecido a partir de doações realizadas pelos proprietários fundiários, migrantes de Minas Gerais e São Paulo, formadores de grandes posses, afazendando-se na região. As terras de santo tiveram importância significativa na formação dos municípios, pois parte delas abrigaram famílias carentes e sem terra da região. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo analisar a formação do patrimônio religioso da Diocese de Três Lagoas, destacando como essas doações foram usadas pela Igreja Católica em suas práticas pastorais e, sobretudo, desvelar os entraves e conflitos existentes em decorrência dos apossamentos e apropriações ilegais nesses patrimônios. Nesse sentido, os documentos do acervo da Diocese de Três Lagoas foram fundamentais na identificação dessas doações e na compreensão dos conflitos e impasses estabelecidos no processo de ocupação nas terras diocesanas.

Authors: Dr. Swati Bhatnagar
Published: March 2023

Consideration is given to the control characteristics of rotating magnetic separators with a high gradient. There are provided structural schematics of control systems employing fuzzy logic controllers for high-gradient electromagnetic separation. A new structural diagram of the hybrid control system of the rotor-type electromagnetic separator, which combines conventional and intelligent control approaches, is proposed. Based on a rotary electromagnetic separator, it is demonstrated that the employment of hybrid control methods makes it possible to boost energy efficiency significantly in electrical technologies employing current sources in power circuits where system characteristics are uncertain.

Mit Kapital die Welt grüner machen

Finanzströme gelten als ein großer Hebel, um die Produktionsweise von einem linearen auf ein zirkuläres Modell zu transformieren. Wer nicht im Sinne der grünen Transformation wirtschaftet, bekommt kein Geld am Finanzmarkt – oder zu deutlich schlechteren Konditionen. Das ist die Idee. Doch was ist eigentlich wirklich „grün“ – und was nur Greenwashing?
Energiewende managen

Published: March 2023

Transformation ist anstrengend. Prozesse müssen neu gedacht, die alten Trampelpfade und Komfortzonen verlassen werden. Doch Verbote und Verordnungen werden nicht reichen, um die Menschen für den neuen Weg zu gewinnen. Dafür muss die Circular Economy Spaß machen. Und was macht mehr Spaß, als Spiele zu spielen? Spiele sind ein wunderbares Instrument, um komplexe Zusammenhänge zu kommunizieren. Für uns ist das Grund genug, um eine neue Kategorie einzuführen: Bei CIRCULAR GAMING berichten wir künftig über Spiele mit einem Bezug zur Umwelt-, Energie- und Kreislaufwirtschaft. Denn die Circular Economy soll Spaß machen!

Authors: DEMİR GÜNDOĞMUŞ Pınar , GÜNDOĞMUŞ İbrahim , AKSAKAL Emrah
Published: March 2023

Objective: Amitriptyline intoxication is a life-threatening condition as it can cause cardiac arrhythmias. This study aims to examine the ECG changes in patients with amitriptyline intoxications who were admitted to the emergency department and to compare the P-wave, T-wave, QT, QTC, and PR dispersions with healthy controls.

Material and Methods: The sample of the current retrospective study consists of only 46 patients with amitriptyline intoxication and 65 healthy controls. The 12-channel ECG recordings of the participants were evaluated by two experienced cardiologists. P wave, T wave, QT, QTC, and PR distance, minimum, maximum, and dispersion values were measured. The obtained data were recorded on the data set and subjected to statistical analysis.

Results: There was no significant difference in sociodemographic variables between patients with amitriptyline intoxication and the control group. The main symptoms of the patients were as follows: 28.3% (n=13) lethargy, 32.6% (n=15) nausea-vomiting, 21.7% (n=10) unconsciousness, and 17.4% (n=8) other. According to the analysis of amitriptyline intoxication and ECG parameters of healthy controls, P-wave, T-wave, QT, QTC, and PR dispersion were higher in the intoxication group than in the healthy controls (p0.05). The patient group had a higher heart rate than the control group (p=0.026).

Conclusion: The current study found that P-wave, T-wave, QT, QTC, and PR dispersion were higher in the amitriptyline intoxication group than in the control group, which is thought to play a role in cardiac arrhythmias. Clinicians should be on alert for any ECG changes in these cases.
