Published: July 2022

An atypical case of carotid cavernous fistula (CCF) is presented which was challenging to diagnose even with investigations. A 50-year old female, presented with complaints of increasing chemosis, diplopia and proptosis of her right eye following a fall from stairs. Her IOP was 32 mm Hg in right and 18 in left eye. Absence of other classic clinical signs like bruit/thrill of carotid cavernous fistula led to difficulty in diagnosing. There was absence of radiological evidence like enlargement of superior ophthalmic vein on MRI, MRV and MRA. We started symptomatic treatment for increased IOP and exposure keratopathy. Right sided CCF diagnosis was confirmed on CT angiogram and Digital Subtraction Angiography. Coil embolization was done which resulted in symptomatic and clinical relief. Carotid cavernous fistula with absence of typical signs is sometimes challenging to diagnose and treat. Importance of Digital Subtraction Study and CT Angiogram is highlighted.

Lengths of Irreducible and Delicate Words
Authors: Przybocki Benjamin
Published: July 2022

We study words that barely avoid repetitions, for several senses of "barely". A squarefree (respectively, overlap-free, cubefree) word is irreducible if removing any one of its interior letters creates a square (respectively, overlap, cube). A squarefree (respectively, overlap-free, cubefree) word is delicate if changing any one of its letters creates a square (respectively, overlap, cube). We classify the lengths of irreducible and delicate squarefree, overlap-free, and cubefree words over binary and ternary alphabets.
Disproof of a Conjecture by Woodall on the Choosability of $K_{s,t}$-Minor-Free Graphs
Authors: Steiner Raphael
Published: July 2022

In 2001, in a survey article about list coloring, Woodall conjectured that for every pair of integers $s,t \ge 1$, all graphs without a $K_{s,t}$-minor are $(s+t-1)$-choosable.

In this note we refute this conjecture in a strong form: We prove that for every choice of constants $\varepsilon>0$ and $C \ge 1$ there exists $N=N(\varepsilon,C) \in \mathbb{N}$ such that for all integers $s,t $ with $N \le s \le t \le Cs$ there exists a graph without a $K_{s,t}$-minor and list chromatic number greater than $(1-\varepsilon)(2s+t)$.

In this paper some mechanical characteristics of a composite made from a hybrid resin and reinforced with corn cob powder are presented. The hybrid resin was made with a combination between the natural dammar resin combined with a small percentage of acrylic one. The synthetic resin was inserted in order to increase the polymerization process which was produced in about 24 h. In the fist part of the investigation, from the compression test, some mechanical characteristics are determined, such as: breaking strength or maximum force obtained at breaking. Then, by using the SEM analysis and EDS spectrometry, some samples with 50% dammar and 60% dammar were investigated. The last hybrid resin test was Shore D hardness and it was found out that the hardness decreases with the increase of dammar percentage. In the last part of the study, some composites by using the poposed hybrid resin reinforced with corn cob powder were manufactured. It has been found out that the proposed composite reinforced with corn cob powder has increased compression mechanical properties compared other composites that have the same reinforcement.

Authors: Ayar Muhammet Kerim
Published: July 2022

The purpose of the present research was to assess the effect of three different fresh detox juices on the color stability of the resin composite with three different adhesive systems. Disc-shaped resin composite specimens were prepared. Composite discs were randomly divided into 3 subgroups according to the adhesive system (Adper EasyOne, BondForce, Clearfil QuickBond), adhesive system was applied to the upper surfaces of the composite discs according to the manufacturer s instructions. The first color measurements were made with a spectrophotometer after the composite discs were kept in water for 24 hours. Samples in each group were divided into 4 subgroups according to the immersion solution (n=10; brands, water). The samples, which were kept in respective detox juices, were kept for 10 minutes twice a day, at other times they were kept in distilled water. Second color measurements were performed 30 days later. Data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA and Tukey HSD tests. According to the two-way analysis of variance, the adhesive system does not affect the color change significantly (p=0.773), but the detox juices has a significant effect on the color change (p=0.01). Fresh detox juices may adversely affect the color stability of adhesive systems, regardless of their color, but this effect may not be expected to be clinically observable.

Published: July 2022

Research on crack propagation for fiber reinforced composites containing flame retardant is rare. The micro-cracks propagation is a reason for delamination and debonding failure of fiber reinforced composites. To study the crack propagation of continuous glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin laminates that contained ammonium polyphosphate flame retardant (GFRP-APP), the quasi-static single-edge tensile loading (SETL) experiments for the end-notched GFRP-APP specimens were carried out by MTS universal electronic testing machine. The crack propagation of the end-notched 90� GFRP-APP specimen includes two types, both of which belong to opening type (mode I). Namely, one type is mode I multi-cracks propagation without preexisting crack, and the other is mode I fiber bridge propagation with preexisting crack. The intralaminar fracture toughness along fiber direction of GFRP-APP is approximately 8.4 N/mm, which is calculated by area method. The opening displacement-tensile force curves can be divided into three stages for 90� GFRP-APP specimen without crack, i.e., crack gestation, crack birth and crack propagation. However, the 90� GFRP-APP specimen with crack not contains the crack birth stage. Additionally, the microscopic morphology for the fracture face of pure epoxy resin and GFRP-APP, and the phase analysis for GFRP-APP were performed by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). As a conclusion, the pores and interfaces in materials were the guiding factors of micro-crack propagation, and the ammonium polyphosphate flame retardant particle contributed extra interfaces.

Published: July 2022

Highlighting the properties of polymer composites is a complex process given their great diversity and the wide range in which their characteristics could vary. An Artificial Neural Network model for predicting tensile strength was designed using LabVIEW software. The proposed model was developed for randomly reinforced polymeric composite materials with 30%, 40% and 50% fiber-glass. Volume fraction of glass fibre has represented the independent variable for this study. The dependence of the tensile strength on the volume fraction was investigated and highlighted by modelling using neural networks. The designed Artificial Neural Network behaves as a computational system that process data input into a desired output using a network of functions composed of layers. The training process was developed with different Artificial Neural Network architectures with two hidden layers to produce the best prediction results. For each hidden layer the number of neurons was varied be-tween 3 to 50.

Published: July 2022

This study was geared to analyze the preparation methods of pullulan acetate-based nanoparticles loaded with 5-fluorouracil, as well as the potential of pullulan as a biopolymer matrix for obtaining nanoparticles applied in the delivery of anticancer drugs (5-FU). Various methods were used to produce pullulan acetate-based nanoparticles loaded with 5-FU, including nanoprecipitation, modified nanoprecipitation, and double emulsion. Pullulan was previously chemically modified with acetic anhydride, dimethylformamide and pyridine, and yielded pullulan acetate. Pullulan was made using the Aureobasidium pullulans strain through a fermentation procedure. UV-Vis Spectro-photometric and dynamic light scattering (DLS) methods were used to assess entrapment effectiveness, size, and polydispersity index (PDI) of pullulan acetate-based nanoparticles loaded with 5-FU. Based on the properties of the nanoparticles obtained, the optimum preparation method was chosen. The maximum entrapment efficiency was found in pullulan acetate nanoparticles loaded with 5-FU generated by a double emulsion method. The mean hydrodynamic size and PDI of all nanoparticles were adequate. The best formulation showed faster 5-FU release profile in acid phosphate-buffered saline (pH 5) than in phosphate-buffered saline pH 7.4. According to the findings, pullulan derivatives have a great potential for producing nanoparticles that might be used to deliver anticancer medicines.

Purpose was to determine the viscoelastic properties of three root canal sealers as a function of temperature, time and frequency using dynamic oscillatory measurements. Methods: Measurements were performed on the dynamic oscillatory rheometer set to temperatures: 25�C, 35�C, 40�C and 65�C. Stress sweep and frequency sweep tests were used in order to determine storage moduli G�, loss moduli G�� and complex viscosity η*. Results Higher values of storage compared to loss moduli indicate the more pronounced solid-like behavior of tested materials. EndoREZ showed the highest values of G� and G�� moduli at all temperatures. With temperature increase the G� and G�� moduli of Sealapex and EndoREZ increased while the moduli of AH Plus decreased. With frequency increase all materials showed viscosity decrease exhibiting non-Newtonion, shear-thinning behavior. With temperature increase AH Plus demonstrated viscosity decrease, while the viscosity of Sealapex and EndoREZ increased. Clinical significance: All tested materials were temperature, time and frequency dependent and this dependency varied between them. The obtained results may be used to predict the rheological behavior of root canal sealers in different temperature conditions, thus helping as to estimate optimal handling characteristics for specific clinical applications.

Published: July 2022

The CHA2DS2VASc score includes risk factors for coronary artery disease. The aim of this study is to show that the CHA2DS2VASc score calculated at the time of hospital admission may predict mortality and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in-hospital and at 30-day follow-up for patients with STEMI, who were subjected to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (p-PCI). A retrospective cohort study was performed at University Hospital Center ‘Mother Teresa’, in the Cardiology Department between June 2021 and September 2021. The CHA2DS2VASc score was calculated at the time of hospital admission for all of them. The study population was divided into 3 groups according to the CHA2DS2VASc score at the time of admission. A statistical control of result of hospital MACCE was done. As the result of multivariable analysis, smoking and CHA2DS2VASc groups were found to be independent MACCE predictors. The chances of developing MACCE were approximately 5 times higher in a patient of the third CHA2DS2VASc group, compared to that of the first group. CHA2DS2VASc groups are important to define the likelihood that MACCE will occur in patients with ascending STEMI who had undergone PCI. The ROC plot provided a visual representation of the accuracy of CHA2DS2VASc in predicting reinfarction and stroke. AUC 0.852 (95% C.I: 0.776-0.928) showed when CHA2DS2VASc has this predictive ability for morbidity and mortality. CHA2DS2VASc ≥ 4 can be used to determine risk of reinfarction and stroke.

Published: July 2022

Background. By definition, when the abdominal aorta undergoes dilation, this is called an aneurysm. However, this definition depends on the threshold diameter of the aorta reached after dilation. According to angiographic studies, aneurysm is considered when the diameter of the aorta exceeds 30 mm. According to the International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery/Society for Vascular Surgery Ad Hoc Committee, we speak of an aneurysm when the diameter of the infrarenal aorta exceeds 1.5 times the normal diameter. It then becomes necessary to define the normal value of this diameter, which varies from 16 to 23 mm depending on the population concerned. Ultrasound is often used in screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) for its simplicity and low cost. This study evaluates the prevalence of abdominal aortic aneurysms in the population at risk in the region of Setif in Algeria. Method and materials. The study concerns a population of The study concerns a population of 902 diagnosed cases, 854 cases are over 50 years old who consented to AAA screening who consented to AAA screening. For each patient, different parameters are taken. Physical and ultrasound examinations are performed. The parameters sex, history of diabetes, dyslipidemia, blood pressure, body mass index, smoking and atherosclerosis are listed. In order to establish an average diameter of the aorta in this population at risk, an intelligent analysis relating these factors to the diameter of the abdominal aorta is applied. Conclusion. As the system is very complex to analyze using classical mathematical techniques, the principles of artificial neural networks come in handy. The rule base that maps the input variables to the diameter of the aorta is created from the database of the performed analyzes. This makes it possible to predict the diameter of the abdominal aorta from the risk factors. Therefore, prevention of abdominal aortic aneurysm will be possible in the population of this geographic area.

The book “The Road of a Lifetime” (2020) was written by a geologist, candidate of sciences E. B. Khalezova (1924–1921), daughter of I. D. Borneman-Starynkevich (1891–1988), prominent chemist and mineralogist. The article presents the first part of a comprehensive study of this text as a work of factual literature and a historical source. The purpose of the article is to determine the genre nature of the text of factual literature as a set of properties. Autobiography is the dominant feature of the work. It defines the general meaning, content and construction. The narrative construction corresponds to a specific biographical model of a field researcher, whose life world is divided into two halves in terms of space, time, events and other aspects. In the literary reality and in the case under consideration, autobiography is consistently combined with signs of memoirs and family history. The plot-generating possibilities of family and professional trajectories are realized at the level of discrete units of a cumulative plot. The biographical model is consistent with a number of features of the travelogue. The work has the properties of artistry due to colorful descriptions, the inclusion of poems in the narrative and other techniques. In general, it can serve as an example of factual literature with an enhanced artistic function

The purpose of the article is to identify repetitive types of interactions among the participants in the construction of the Murmansk Railway in 1915–1916 based on the material of archival documents and on the basis of the social action concept of M. Weber and T. Parsons. The object of the study is social groups whose members were identified by other actors as representatives of an ethnic community. The main participants in the interaction are, on the one hand, representatives of the security service, mainly guards — “Caucasians”, on the other hand, prisoners of war and laborers — Chinese who were directly dependent on them. Representatives of these groups are potentially participants in conflict situations. It is concluded that conflict and rival forms of interaction can be represented as an adaptive system built by communities, which was based on the implementation of cultural models introduced by ethnic groups into the social structure of the Murmansk Railway. Social interactions based on previously assimilated cultural norms and ideas adapted to new circumstances and contributed to the implementation of a social order that was actually based on collective social justice.

Nationalism, although a celebrated ideology, is observed as suffocating and detrimental to feminist individuality in certain regions of post liberated Pakistan and Sri Lanka wherein aggravated sectarian and ethnic conflicts have led to gender-based violence which has demolished feminine sexual purity forever. Since independence, both nations have undergone national crises as Sri Lankan citizens lived in trepidation for almost a decade because of the Sinhala-Tamil dispute whereas minority Shias and other deviant sects of Pakistan live in a constant threat of violence from radicalized and orthodox religious nationalist groups. The self-proclaimed nationalist Sunni and Sinhala groups peculiarly target women who apart from their role as reproducers and nurturers, participated equally in the anti-colonial liberation struggle only to be rewarded with ethnic and sectarian violence conflated with gender violence. The research article aims to present a literary exploration of Shia and Tamil women’s grievances and resistance through Fatima Bhutoo & Nayomi Munaweera’s select fictional works and highlights the postcolonial political privileging of masculinity through nationalist ideologies and strategies which, despite structuring a brave new world of equality, attempts to silence women forever. At this point, the fundamental flaw of nationalism i.e. creating rife based on inequalities of ethnicity, race, culture, religion, and gender divisions within a nation becomes evident which not only conspires to push women back from their struggle for equal gender rights but also deprives them of social acceptance forever.

Indian English literature generally refers to that body of writing, which is produced in the English language by the litterateurs of an Indian origin. It is however, understandable that creative translations should also be located into the corpus of Indian English literature. Historically speaking, what gave the first solid footing to Indian English poetry was Rabindranath Tagore’s Gitanjali, and this came in the form of creative translation. After Rabindranath we find another accomplished poet of twentieth century Bengal to practice creative translation of his Bengali poetry into English. This poet is Jibanananda Das, whose English- language poetry in the form of creative translation is yet to receive a broader audience. The present paper seeks to study three of these creative translations titled Meditations (Manosarani in Bengali), Darkness (Andhakar in Bengali) and Sailor (Nabik in Bengali), which seem to form a complex sequel in respect of Jibanananda’s deep concern for the socio-cultural unrest that characterized the general fabrics of life in Bengal after the Partition of 1947. Moreover, these poems appear equally contemporary in the twenty first century, when the disruptive forces of corruption, falsehood, debauchery, political coercion and cultural denigration are more severely at work to corrode and annihilate the cultural roots of Bengal. So, the purpose of the present study is two-fold: first, to show how the creative translations of Jibanananda continue to strike the note of a universal humanity in the present times, and second, to voice for their inclusion in forthcoming anthologies of Indian English poetry. For, these poems composed by one of the greatest poets of modern Bengal would make room for readers from all over India to savour the taste of a fine artistry that transcends the limits of every ideological bias.

Bogor sebagai salah satu kota jasa banyak menawarkan aneka jasa dan juga aneka produk yang dilakukan oleh para pelaku ekonomi termasuk para UMKM. Kegiatan ekonomi berjalan seperti biasa sebelum covid-19 mewabah di Indonesia, sementara saat mewabah, kegiatan para UMKM menjadi sangat terhambat akibat berkurangnya kegiatan ekonomi, dan diperparah dengan adanya kebijakan PSBB dan PPKM yang membatasi ruang gerak masyarakat.  Namun disisi lain penulis melihat sebenarnya hanya para UMKM yang dapat bertahan di situasi pandemi ini, karena dengan kondisi seadanya mereka semakin berkreasi dan berinovasi mengalihkan penjualan mereka dari konvensional menjadi digital (penjualan online) melalui ecommerce atau media sosial. Penelitian ini dibuat untuk mengetahui sejauh mana pengaruh pandemi covid-19 terhadap kenaikan atau penurunan penjualan para UMKM. Metode yang dipakai adalah metode kuantitatif yang mencarai jawaban permasalahan dari data primer melalui kuesioner dan dioleh dengan menggunakan aplikasi SPSS. Sesuai pengamatan penelitian ini menghasilkan data bahwa pandemi covid-19 tidak berpengaruh terhadap penjualan UMKM. Adapun penelitian ini bermanfaat untuk menjadikan pelajaran bahwa wabah covid-19 perlu diwaspadai untuk semua bidang agar tidak terlalu mempengaruhinya.

Coğrafya kader midir Coğrafya-dış politika ilişkisi: Azerbaycan örneği
Authors: Çevikel Şeyda
Published: July 2022

Bu çalışmada, bir ülkenin bulunduğu coğrafyanın o ülkenin dış politikası üzerinde etkili olduğu savunulmaktadır. Bu da Azerbaycan özelinde incelenmektedir. Coğrafya-dış politika ilişkisinin literatürde nasıl değerlendirildiği ele alındıktan sonra coğrafyadan türeyen jeopolitik, jeostrateji ve jeoekonomi gibi kavramlar üzerine bir okumaya gidilerek; Azerbaycan dış politikası açısından bu kavramlar değerlendirilmektedir. Azerbaycan’ın dış politikasında yakın komşulardan Türkiye ve Gürcistan ile yürütülen iş birliği ve Rusya ile mesafeli ve dengeli bir şekilde devam eden ilişkileri kadar Ermenistan ile yaşanan sorunları da bir şekilde coğrafyası ile ilişkilidir. Azerbaycan’ı hem bir Avrupa hem bir Asya ülkesi yapan, aynı zamanda ekonomik ve stratejik öneme sahip kimi kaynakların bulunması sebebi ile ülkeye küresel bir ilginin oluşmasını da sağlayan yine yerleştiği coğrafyadır. Nitekim petrol ve doğalgaz kaynakları açısından zengin bir ülke olan Azerbaycan, dış politikasında bu iki kaynağı kullanarak siyasi ve ekonomik kazanımlar elde etmenin yollarını aramaktadır. Aynı zamanda dış politika stratejilerini dengeli ve çok vektörlü yürüterek, dış tehditlere karşı coğrafyanın kendisine sağlamış olduğu avantajları kullanmaya çalışmaktadır. Ayrıca bu çalışmada, ülkenin dış politikasını etkileyen başlıca unsurların, 2020 yılında büyük oranda ortadan kalksa da Dağlık Karabağ sorunu ve sahip olduğu enerji kaynakları olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmaktadır.
