Published: November 2022

In the present paper we have investigated Psorolin B ointment for improving the bio-mechanical property of the skin. Psorolin B ointment is proprietary Siddha formulation composed of Boswellia serrata, Wrightia tinctoria, Cynodon dactylon, Hydnocarpus laurifolia and red ochre. The bio-mechanical property/elasticity of the skin is evaluated in volar forearm region by four different methods such as applying uniaxial force, centripetal force, vacuum suction and instant retraction by pinch-pull test. The findings clearly showed that Psorolin B ointment improved the skin elasticity and dexterity of the cutaneous tissue. In our previous study we have already established the elastase and collagenase inhibitory effect of Psorolin B and it also possess strong antioxidant effect. The findings are discussed in the article.

Published: November 2022

Bryophilous fungi associated with two bryophyte species in the region of delta in Tamil Nadu that is, the mosses of Polytrichum commune and Bryum capillare (Ptychostomum capillare) mosses were studied during the winter season. These bryophytes were Desiccation-Tolerance Bryophytes plant (DTB), the ability to lose virtually all free intracellular water and then recover normal function upon rehydration is one of the most remarkable features of bryophytes. Our aims were to identify bryophilous fungi/ endophytic fungi using morphological taxonomy, to explore richness and estimate species frequency in two bryophytes, Polytrichum and Bryum in delta region of Tamil Nadu. We collected two bryophyte samples at old building wall, bricks localities on delta region. We thus identified 32 endophytic fungi species were isolated from these bryophyte plants tissues. In total, 32 endophytic fungal strains belonging to Ascomycetes (04), Coeleomycetes (02), Hyphomycetes (20), sterile forms (02), Yeast like strains (02) and Zygomycetes (02) taxa were obtained. Thus species RPO and diversity index suggest that our study still underestimate endophytes diversity because it does not provide complete samples. These results recommend the presence of a diverse range of fungal species even in a very limited area, and those bryophytes fungal diversity in this Desiccation-Tolerance environment. To our knowledge, this is the first report of endophytic fungi from DT Bryophytes in tropical region.

Published: November 2022

A survey was conducted among 42 Howard University first year professional pharmacy students regarding their knowledge and opinions about the use of metformin in colorectal patients. Twenty-five (59.5%) respondents agreed that metformin reduces the risk of colorectal cancer in type 2 diabetes patients, and the majority (n=22, 52.4%) disagreed with the statement that metformin is a drug recommended for colorectal cancer. Twenty-five (59.5%) replied that colorectal cancer is a common illness regardless of age range. Twenty-four (57.1%) survey participants responded in favor of patients taking metformin to lower the risk of colon cancer. On the other hand, the majority (n=25, 59.5%) agreed that colorectal patients with diabetes mellitus taking metformin have the same outcome as those who do not have diabetes. In response to the opinion part of the questionnaire, the majority (n=23, 54.7%) admitted to feeling comfortable about recommending metformin to increase the chance of survival of colorectal patients, while only 18 (42.8%) were confident in explaining the benefits of metformin in preventing colorectal cancer. Twenty-three (54.7%) of respondents prefer natural and holistic methods, and 16 (28.1%) knew someone with type 2 diabetes who was taking metformin for the prevention of colorectal cancer. Most respondents (n=29, 69%) believe prescription medications should be used to prevent colorectal cancer rather than metformin which has inadequate supporting evidence. A sub-analysis appears to indicate that female participants, those with previous pharmacy-related jobs, and those with fewer years of work experience disagree with most of the opinion questions compared to their counterparts. They also had a wider range of opinions among themselves compared to their counterparts.

Published: November 2022

This gender-independent detection of cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma using RASSF1A/beta-actin has curtained off a new dimension regarding its utility to predict the adverse pregnancy outcomes. Recent efforts have been directed at developing sequences from cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) as markers for pregnancy outcomes. The utility of cffDNA using the methylation-dependent DSCR3 and RASSF1A markers along with total cell-free DNA (cf-DNA) in maternal serum by HYP2 marker are useful in predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes. Indigenously developed low-cost method of the gender-independent sequence markers from cffDNA was investigated and evaluated with the standardized commercial kits as predictive markers for adverse pregnancy outcomes. In the present study, we have tested whether the elevated amount of cffDNA in maternal plasma is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes and development of new marker by the low-cost method to predict adverse pregnancy outcomes. 210 pregnant women within the age group of 20 – 30 years attending for routine antenatal checkups after 20 weeks with fulfilling the diagnostic criteria of adverse pregnancy outcomes were included in our study. Age-matched pregnant women without adverse pregnancy outcomes were included as controls (n=210). Identification of cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) in maternal plasma by using in-house methods (Guanidium isothiocyanate) was found comparable with commercial kit and its content (GE/ µl) in adverse pregnancy outcomes subjects were significantly higher than the normotensive subjects. Our results indicated that indigenously developed method for detection of gender-independent cffDNA can be applicable for screening test of adverse pregnancy outcome.

Acharya has emphasized that Siravedhana helps in the elimination of vitiated dosha from the veins. They clarified that in emergency if due to lack of the time one cannot be able to perform the fivefold purification procedures, Raktamokshana will serve the purpose. They specially mentioned about Siravedhana in surgical conditions with poor venous drainage. It leads immediate alleviation of symptoms along with pain in various diseases like Vatarakta, Gridhrasi etc. where ever Raktamokshana is indicated, Siravedhana is an important technique to do so. My paper is focused on effect of Siravedhana in the management of pain in certain disorders.

Published: November 2022

Rekabetin Korunması Hakkında Kanunda özel hüküm yer almadığından dolayı Rekabet ihlallerinden kaynaklanan tazminat davalarında haksız fiil zamanaşımı uygulanmaktadır. Haksız fiillere ilişkin zamanaşımı sürelerinin nasıl uygulanacağı, idari para cezası gerektiren rekabet ihlallerinden kaynaklanan tazminat davalarında ceza zamanaşımının uygulanıp uygulanmayacağı, zamanaşımı süresinin başlangıcı, zamanaşımının durması ve kesilmesi sebepleri tartışılması gereken hususlardır. Özellikle Yargıtay’ın son yıllarda ceza zamanaşımını uygulamaya başlamış olması ve istikrarlı şekilde bu uygulamayı sürdürmesi konunun önemini artırmaktadır.

Bu çalışmada rekabet ihlallerinde uygulanması gereken zamanaşımı süreleri ve buna ilişkin uygulama esasları ele alınmıştır.

Bu çalışmada, teknolojiden kaynaklı olarak ortaya çıkan teknostresin, bireylerin dijital tükenmişliklerine etkisinde bilişsel önyargıların rolü olup olmadığının saptanması amaçlanmıştır. Teknostres (TS) değişkenin ölçümü için Tarafdar vd. (2007)’nin geliştirdiği ölçeğin Ilgaz, Özgür ve Çuhadar (2016) tarafından Türkçe’ye uyarlanmış formu kullanılmıştır. Dijital tükenmişlik (DT) değişkeninin ölçümü için ise Erten ve Özdemir (2020) tarafından geliştirilen Dijital Tükenmiş Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler, teknostres seviyesinin mesleki gerekliliklerden dolayı üst seviyede olacağı beklenen akademisyenlerden, kolayda örnekleme yöntemiyle elde edilmiştir. Yapılan korelasyon ve regresyon analizleri sonucunda, bireylerin teknostres seviyelerinin dijital tükenmişlik seviyelerinde etkili olduğu ve bilişsel önyargıların teknostres ve dijital tükenmişlik arasında düzenleyicilik etkisi olduğu saptanmıştır

İktisat yazınında son yıllarda öne çıkan davranışsal iktisat yaklaşımı tüketici teorisi, oyun teorisi, finansal piyasalar, yatırım ve tüketim davranışları, karar alma süreçleri, kamu politikaları gibi birçok alanda etki alanını genişletmektedir. Davranışsal finans, davranışsal kamu politikaları, davranışsal oyun teorisi bu anlamda davranışsal iktisadın geliştirici etkisinin çıktıları olarak ifade edilebilir. Emek piyasasının davranışsal iktisat yaklaşımı üzerinden ele alınması alana dair anlayışın gelişimi açısından önemlidir. Emek piyasası geniş kapsamlı bir araştırma alanı olduğundan çalışmanın kapsamı emek arzı ile sınırlandırılmıştır. Bu bakımdan çalışmanın amacı davranışsal iktisat yaklaşımı çerçevesinde emek arzını neoklasik iktisat yaklaşımı ile karşılaştırmalı olarak analiz etmek ve ileri araştırmalara katkı sağlamaktır. Çalışma eleştirel bir literatür incelemesi niteliğine sahiptir. Çalışmada (i) emek arzı kararlarında tam rasyonelliğin geçerli olmadığı (ii) emek piyasasında davranışsal ve bilişsel yanlılıkların söz konusu olduğu (iii) davranışsal iktisat yaklaşımının emek arzı davranışlarını ve karar süreçlerini anlamaya dair önemli katkılar sunduğu (iv) davranışsal iktisat yaklaşımının emek alanındaki teorileri iyileştirme ve alternetif teoriler geliştirme potansiyeli taşıdığı (v) emek ekonomisinin davranışsal iktisat yaklaşımının entegrasyonuna açık olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

THE EFFECT OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE ON INCOME INEQUALITY: A MULTIDIMENSIONAL PANEL DATA ANALYSIS
Authors: TAKIM Abdullah , GÜLTEKİN Sena
Published: November 2022

Reducing income inequality is one of the primary objectives of economic policies. Even if macroeconomic indicators such as economic growth, foreign trade, inflation, employment have improved in certain periods, regardless of the economic model applied and the level of development, income inequality at the global level, aside from decreasing, continues to be a political, social, demographic, ethical and economic problem. Because of this importance of income inequality, it is of great importance to reveal the macroeconomic factors that cause income inequality in detail. Although there is an important literature on income inequality, there are not many studies examining its relationship with international trade. While a few studies in the literature generally examine the effects of international trade on income inequality, this study, unlike others, investigates the effects of exports and imports, which constitute international trade, on income inequality. Within the scope of the study, 69 low, lower-middle, upper-middle and high income countries were examined according to the classification made by the World Bank, taking into account per capita income in the period 1995-2017. According to the results of the analysis applied using two different models, it has been concluded that, while trade openness and imports reduce income inequality, exports increase income inequality.
