Новые данные о строении монокристаллов алмаза c высокой концентрацией азотных центров
Authors: Громилов С.А. , Елисеев А.П.
Published: August 2023

В работе изучены природные алмазы c высокой концентрацией азотных центров (Кумдыкульское месторождение, Северный Казахстан). По данным ИК спектроскопии концентрация азотных С и А – центров составляет несколько сотен ppm при суммарной концентрации более 1000 ppm. При возбуждении 532 нм в низкотемпературных спектрах фотолюминесценции (ФЛ) доминируют свечение в системе 638 нм, обусловленной азотно-вакансионными парами NV, которые заряжены отрицательно (в состоянии NV-). Последнее является следствием высокой концентрации донорного азота, один электрон от которого переходит к азотно-вакансионной паре. Широкие полосы с максимумом 500 и 590 нм связываются с системами Н3 и 575 (комплексы NVN и NV0, соответственно). Фиксируется сильное уширение Раман-линии алмаза до 6.5 см-1, а также бесфононных линий 503.2, 575 и 638 нм в спектрах ФЛ, до их полного исчезновения. Это связывается с высокой концентрацией азотных центров NVN(H3), NV0 и NV-, соответственно, а также структурных дефектов. Проведено уточнение параметров элементарной ячейки монокристаллов по оригинальной методике: полученное значение 3.5675(1) Å в пределах погрешности измерений соответствует максимальному значению известному для подобных алмазов.

Âşık Veysel Anadolu’nun merkezinden tüm dünyaya sesini duyurmuş bir halk ozanıdır. Şiirleriyle Türkçenin, sözlü dilinin ve söz varlığının kullanımı konusunda, yaklaşık altmış yıllık döneminde orta Anadolu’nun durumunu yansıtmış ve bu çevrenin söz varlığını ölümsüz hâle getirmiştir. Bu durum eserlerinin kıymetini bir kat daha artırmıştır. Derin yapıdaki anlamsal boyutu, halkın duygulanımlarını yansıtması açısından öneminin yanında, onun eserlerinin dil yadigârlarını taşıması da oldukça önemlidir. Çalışmada Âşık Veysel’in seçilmiş şiirleri üzerinden kiplik yapı ve kavram alanı incelemesi yapılmış, şiirlerin anlamsal yapısının yeni bir katmanı ortaya çıkarılarak anlambilimsel bir çalışmayla alan yazına katkı sağlamak amaçlanmıştır. Seçilen şiirler üzerinde bildirme kiplerinin geçtiği yerlerde kiplik yapı ve şiirlerin odak hâlinde bulunan kavramları üzerinden de kavram alanı incelemesi yapıldıktan sonra bu iki incelemenin sonuçları ayrı ayrı değerlendirilmiştir. Genellikle göz ardı edilen bildirme kiplerinin anlama katkısı tespit edilmeye çalışılırken kavramların kavram alanları tespit edilerek şiirlerin kavram alanından oluşan anlamsal yapısı da ortaya çıkarılmaya çalışılmıştır. Bu kullanımlar toplu şekilde incelenerek sonuca ulaşılmıştır. Sonuçta seçilen şiirlerde bildirme kiplerinin kesinlik tahmin vb. anlamlarla anlamsal düzleme katkı sağladığı ve kavram alanının şiirin anlam ekseninden kopmadan birçok farklı kavramı içine aldığı, geniş bir anlam yelpazesi oluşturduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Lung and Lung Tumor Segmentation of CT Images During MWA Therapy Using AI Algorithm
Authors: Mahmoodian N. , Thadesar Harshita , Sadeghi Maryam , Georgiades Marilena , Pech Maciej , Hoeschen Christoph
Published: August 2023

Microwave ablation (MWA) therapy as a thermal ablation procedure is an excellent alternative to open surgery for tumor treatment. The technique is considered advantageous for patients who are not candidates for open surgery due to factors such as age, anatomic limitations, resection, etc. Computed tomography (CT) is a commonly used interventional imaging modality during MWA therapy for localizing the tumor and finalizing the tumor treatment process. However, the CT scan of the body usually includes neighboring organs that are not relevant to lung tumor MWA therapy. Therefore, the segmentation of the lung and lung tumor in CT images provides valuable information about the tumor margin. This information can assist physicians in precisely and completely destroying the tumor during the MWA procedure. To solve the aforementioned problem, deep learning (DL), in particular, achieves a higher level of accuracy in segmentation than machine learning techniques due to its composition of multiple learning layers. The immediate goal is to distinguish among the different tissue structures of the tumor, healthy tissue, and the ablated area in lung CT images using the DL method to segment the organ and cancer area. Researchers have proposed various segmentation models. However, different segmentation tasks require different perception fields. In this study, we propose a new DL model that includes a residual block based on the U-Net model to accurately segment the lung organ and lung tumor tissue. The dataset consists of lung CT images acquired during MWA therapy using a CT scanner at the University Hospital Magdeburg. Manual tumor segmentation has been performed and confirmed by physicians. The results of our proposed method can be compared with those of the U-net model with a SSIM of 90%. Furthermore, accurately determining the margin area of the tumor tissue can decrease insufficient tumor ablation, which often leads to tumor recurrence. We anticipate that our proposed model can be generalized to perform tumor segmentation on CT images of different organs during MWA treatment. Finally, we hope that this method can achieve sufficient accuracy to decrease tumor recurrence and enable dose reduction for patients in interventional CT imaging. Doi: 10.28991/SciMedJ-2023-05-01-01 Full Text: PDF

Blood cell abnormalities may occur among COVID-19 patients and could be detrimental during the disease’s progression. This study assessed complete blood count (CBC) parameters and determined abnormal changes in the peripheral blood of COVID-19 patients receiving care at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH), Ghana. This hospital-based descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at KATH, Kumasi, Ghana, recruited seventy-three (73) RT-PCR-confirmed COVID-19 participants. Venous blood was taken from participants into EDTA tubes and used for CBC analyses and the preparation of a thin blood film for blood cell morphological examination. Data obtained were analyzed with SPSS version 22.0, and p< 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Females were predominant (45/61.6) and had a higher COVID-19 cycle threshold (CT) value than males (p=0.027). The overall prevalence of anaemia among the study participants was 56.2% (65.5% in males and 50% in females). Geriatrics (>70 years old) had relatively lower Hb compared to other age groups in the study. Erythrocytopaenia (18/73), leucocytosis (28/73), lymphopaenia (9/73), and thrombocytopaenia (21/73) were common among the COVID-19 participants. Red cell morphological abnormalities were seen in the study participants: echinocytes (11/73), elliptocytes (6/73), stomatocytes (1/73), acanthocytes (4/73), pencil-shaped cells (5/73), schistocytes (15/73), ovalocytes (2/73) and target cells (1/73). Moreover, the acanthocytes were significantly higher in males compared to females (4 vs. 0, p=0.019). Again, reactive lymphocytes (8/73), neutrophil toxic granulation (18/73), neutrophil cytoplasmic vacuolation (42/73), smear cells (8/73), and one each of atypical lymphocyte and Dohle body were present among the COVID-19 participants. The COVID-19 CT value was lower among male participants. The overall prevalence of anaemia among COVID-19 participants was high, with males and the aged (>70 years) predominantly affected. COVID-19 patients have abnormal blood cell counts and significant morphological abnormalities in peripheral blood. Early detection of haematological abnormalities would be beneficial in the management of COVID-19 patients. Further study to assess the haematopoietic activities of COVID-19 patients is recommended. Doi: 10.28991/SciMedJ-2023-05-01-02 Full Text: PDF

Background: Ivabradine is a selective inhibitor of (If) channels in the sinoatrial node and a pure bradycardic agent with no deleterious effect on other aspects of cardiac function nor on blood pressure. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of Ivabradine on controlling tachycardia in sepsis patients as compared to placebo. Methods: A total of 100 patients admitted to the Medical Intensive Care Unit (MICU) were recruited in this randomized controlled trial. A total of 50 patients were randomly allocated to either Group A (the Ivabradine group) or Group B (the control group). Heart rate (HR) was recorded for all patients at baseline, 12, 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours. Mean arterial pressure (MAP), ejection fraction (EF), and change in Norepinephrine (NE) dosage were recorded at baseline and post-intervention (120 hours). A mortality rate was recorded for both groups. Results: The patients had a mean age of 32.49 + 16.22 years. There were 56 males and 44 females in the study. Epilepsy (n = 12, 12%) and tetanus (n = 11, 11%) were the most common primary diagnosis. Ventilator Associated Pneumonia (n = 60) was found to be the most common infection. Patients in Group A (23.2 + 11.02 beats per minute) had a significantly greater heart rate reduction at 120 hours in mean heart rate as compared to Group B patients (8.92 + 30.46 beats per minute, p = 0.002). The increase in mean MAP for Group A (1.68 + 2.44 mm Hg) was also significantly greater than that for Group B (0.54 + 2.46 mm Hg, p = 0.022). There was no difference in the mean change in NE dosage between Groups A (0.63 + 0.25 units/minute) and B (-0.34 + 0.36 units/minute, p = 0.106). A significantly greater increase in EF was found for Group A (1.16 + 1.5%), in comparison to Group B (0.30 + 1.69 %, p = 0.009). There were 22 (44%) deaths reported in Group A as compared to 24 (48%, p = 0.688) in Group B. Conclusion:Ivabradine has a significantly greater effect on controlling heart rate as compared to placebo in sepsis patients. The use of Ivabradine should be included in clinical guidelines for managing sepsis patients in ICU settings. Doi: 10.28991/SciMedJ-2023-05-01-04 Full Text: PDF

Türkçeye farklı dillerden aktarılan terim ve sözcüklere karşılık bulma veya bunları Türkçeleştirme yönünde ortaya konan yöntemlere, Fransızcadan Türkçeye spor terimlerinin geçiş sürecinde ve sonrasında başvurulmadığı ve bu terimlerin okunup yazıldıkları gibi Türkçeye geçtikleri ileri sürülmektedir. İki sözlükten derlenen spor terimleri üzerinde yapılan biçimsel ve sessel incelemeye göre, toplamda 12 grup oluşturulmuştur. Bu terimleri oluşturan ses birimlerin ve seslemlerin biçimleri ve okunuşları incelendiğinde, hiçbirinin Türkçeye biçimsel yönden aktarılmadığı, çoğunun sadece okunuşlarının geçtiği gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca bu terimlerin çoğunun Fransızca okunuşları olduğu gibi değil, Türkçe sesletimine uydurularak aktarıldığı anlaşılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, farklı dillerden Türkçeye aktarılan terimler veya sözcükler için önerilen türetme, birleştirme, eşanlamlısını kullanma, canlandırma, diğer Türk lehçelerinden veya Anadolu ağızlarının söz varlığından, genel dilden, halk ağızlarından yararlanma, çevirisini yapma gibi farklı yöntemlerle Türkçe karşılıklar aranmasına karşın, dilin konuşucuları tarafından bu terimlerin yeterince kabul görmediği saptanmıştır.
Posthuman Poetics of the Anthropocene in Contemporary British Poetry: Ecocentric Echoes in Mario Petrucci’s Bosco
Authors: ERKOÇ IQBAL Seçil
Published: August 2023

This study aims to question the discursive construction of the hierarchical order attributed to the human/nonhuman dichotomy through an ecocentric reading of Mario Petrucci’s Bosco (1999). Bosco consists of poems that represent catastrophic consequences of deforestation, and it demonstrates how the more-than-human world reacts to egocentric schemes of humankind via its delineation of the agential faculties of the trees. In the collection, trees can no longer remain silent about the desolation that has been wrought upon nature, and they start addressing humankind to make them realise that they have long turned the planet into a barren space. Although it is too late to mitigate the ecological loss, Bosco explores the self-annihilating capacity of the anthropocentric mindset and warns against the imminent extinction that threatens all life forms. Given the increasing impact of the human imprint on Earth, therefore, it is seen that cultural modes of representation are bound to re-evaluate the undercurrents of the dialogue between human and nonhuman agents. In this manner, the Anthropocene functions as a material-discursive foundation that raises questions not only about the ecological crises triggered by humankind, but also about the exceptional status of the human ‘subject.’ Relatedly, it can be argued that traditional ‘nature’ poems fall behind in representing the complexity of human-nonhuman, culture-nature relations in the Anthropocene, and that contemporary ‘nature’ poetry needs a more inclusive dictionary that is devoid of egocentric insinuations. In this way, it will be possible to deal comprehensively with the multi-dimensional and intricate features of human-nonhuman relationship(s) in contemporary British poetry. While such terms as environmental poetry and/or ecopoetry have been used to denote a less anthropocentric position, none of them has been able to exhibit a well-developed ecocentric stance that can address the entanglement of human and nature thoroughly. Thus, the term ‘posthuman poetry’ is presented as an alternative tool that does not flatter the egocentric hubris of humankind but keeps the necessary aesthetic distance between humans and nonhumans by putting neither of them in the centre or in the periphery. Within this perspective, this study argues that, exploring the nonhuman agent’s inherent capacity to counter the negative consequences of egocentric mindset, Bosco serves as an ecocentric critique problematising the rationale for human authority over the more-than-human world in the Anthropocene.
Walter Benjamin’in “Die Aufgabe des Übersetzers [Çevirmenin Görevi]” Adlı Eserinin Çeviribilim ve Felsefe Temelinde Analizi
Authors: ARSLAN Serhat , BÜYÜKÖZKARA Ender
Published: August 2023

Çeviribilim ve felsefe alanları çerçevesinde yürütülen disiplinlerarası bu çalışmanın konusunu, çağdaş felsefenin önde gelen isimlerinden biri olan Walter Benjamin’in çeviri anlayışını ortaya koyduğu eseri, “Die Aufgabe des Überzetsers [Çevirmenin Görevi]” oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmamızda söz konusu eserin içeriği detaylı bir biçimde analiz edilerek değerlendirilmiş, ortaya konulan analiz ve değerlendirme çıktıları doğrultusunda, Benjamin okuyucusuna metni alımlama ve derinlemesine yorumlama hususunda bir katkı sağlamak amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, çalışmamızın ilk kısmında Benjamin’in söz konusu eserine ilişkin genel bir çerçeve ortaya konulmuş, ikinci kısmında hazırlanan tablo vasıtasıyla genel anlamda metnin içeriksel planı oluşturulmuş ve son kısımda ise hazırlanan tabloda ifade edilen temel alt konu başlıklarına dair çalışmamızın amacı doğrultusunda analiz ve değerlendirmelerde bulunulmuştur. Benjamin’in eserinde ortaya koyduğu çeviri anlayışının ve çevirmene yüklediği görevin temel yapıtaşları şu şekilde dile getirilebilir: Benjamin, çeviriyi bir aktarım/bildirme eylemi olarak görmeyip onu bir form/biçim olarak ele almaktadır. Ona göre, çeviri eylemi vasıtasıyla özgün metin, yeni bir form kazanarak varoluşunu sürdürmektedir. Diğer taraftan çeviri eylemi, metinlerarası bir olgu olmanın ötesinde, diller arasındaki iç ilişki ve bağlantıyla alakalıdır. Bu bakımdan çeviri eylemi aracılığıyla Benjamin’in “salt dil” veya “gerçek dil” olarak betimlediği dile bir yönelim söz konusu olmaktadır. Bu bağlamda çevirmenin görevi, “bir başka dilin etkisi altında bulunan salt dili, kendi dilinde özgürlüğe kavuşturmak” olarak ifade edilmektedir.
Toplumsal ve İdeolojik Bağlamda Yevgeni Zamyatin'in "Biz" Çevirileri
Authors: AY KARAKUŞ Merve
Published: August 2023

Edebiyatı zenginleştirme ve evrensel boyuta taşımayı mümkün kılma noktasında en önemli etmenlerden biri kuşkusuz ki çeviri etkinliğidir. Dolayısıyla bir metni, sanatçının yarattığı değerler doğrultusunda farklı bir dile aktarmak, ideolojik ve toplumsal bağlamda farklı bir kültürde var olmasını sağlamaktadır. Bu noktada Yevgeni Zamyatin’in 1920 yılında kaleme aldığı ve devrim sonrasında oluşturulan yeni devlet düzeninin getireceği olumsuzlukları önceden görerek yansıttığı eseri “Biz”, büyük öneme sahiptir. İnsanların mekanikleşerek sahip oldukları kimliği kaybetmesi, temel hak ve özgülüklerin elinden alınması ve tek devlet olgusunun baskıcı politikalarının tüm çıplaklığı ile işlendiği eserin, farklı dillere yapılmış çevirileri de mevcut düzen dahilindeki ideolojiyi yayma, toplumsal düzeni tüm açıklığıyla ortaya koyma noktasında önem arz etmektedir. Anti ütopya türünün ilk örneklerinden biri olan “Biz”, kuşkusuz ki yapılan çeviriler aracılığıyla bu türde eser veren pek çok yazara ilham kaynağı olmuştur. Bir eserin ruhundaki doğanın yeniden yaratımı olarak da değerlendirebileceğimiz çeviri, bu noktada eserde var olan toplumsal ve ideolojik olguların farklı kültürlerde ve farklı çevirmenlerin kaleminden nasıl aktarıldığını görme açısından büyük öneme sahiptir. Bu noktadan yola çıkarak “Biz” isimli eserin farklı yıllarda ilk olarak İngilizceden, devamında Rusçadan Türkçeye yapılan ilk çevirileri karşılaştırmalı olarak toplumsal ve ideolojik düzlemlerde ele alınacaktır. Çalışmanın amacı, eserin bahsi geçen iki dilden Türkçeye yapılan ilk çevirileri arasında ne tür farklılıklar olduğunu tespit etmek, çevirmen üslubuna dikkat çekmek, farklı dillerden yapılmış olan çevirilerde özellikle toplumsal ve ideolojik unsurların erek dilde karşılaştırmalı bir betimlemesini yapmaktır.
The Contribution of Publisher and Translator Strategies to the Symbolic Capital: A Case Study on Three Turkish Translations of The Turn of the Screw
Authors: POLAT ULAŞ Asli , DALASLAN Duygu
Published: August 2023

Henry James (1843-1916), one of the leading figures of the Modernist movement and one of the most important authors of American literature, quickly gained great fame with his works published in the early 20th century. Using the stream of consciousness technique, the continuous flow of thoughts and feelings through words, the author enables his readers to make a deep journey into the inner worlds of the characters in his works. James also used this technique, generally characterized by monologues and thick descriptions, in The Turn of the Screw (1898). The aim of this study, examining the three Turkish translations of James’ work by Necla Aytür, Tamer Çetin and Ezgi Uslu published with the title Yürek Burgusu, is to demonstrate to what extent the strategies of the publishing houses, Türkiye İş Bankası Cultural Publications, Cem Publishing House and Ren Books, respectively, have contributed to the symbolic capital of the source text in the target culture. The strategies of the relevant publishing houses will be examined through the analysis of paratextual elements proposed by Gérard Genette (1997). In the study, the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of habitus (1977, 1990) and capital (1986, 1998) will also be used to discuss the policies and strategies of the publishers as well as the academic and professional trajectories of the translators and their translational dispositions and strategies. Within this framework, it can be argued that compared to the other two publishers, Türkiye İş Bankası Cultural Publications, which has stronger economic and symbolic capital and has made significant contributions to the target language, culture and history, has reinforced the position and symbolic capital of the work in the target culture and in the eyes of Turkish readers to a greater extent through its publishing and translation policy.
Bildungsromanlarda Kahramanın Sonsuz Yolculuğu
Authors: ESEN Nesrin
Published: August 2023

Hayatın her alanı, insan için bir yolculuğu ve mücadeleyi temsil etmektedir. Bu, insanlığın üretmiş olduğu tüm anlatıların da temelini oluşturmaktadır. Her anlatının aynı örüntülere sahip tek bir hikâye olduğunu ifade eden Joseph Campbell, sıradan insanın kahraman olma sürecini Kahramanın Sonsuz Yolculuğu (1949) adlı eserinde işlemiştir. Yol, yolculuk ve kahraman ekseninde bir örüntüyü imleyen yazar, kahramanların anlatılarda geçirdikleri süreçleri ana hatlarıyla "Yola Çıkış", "Erginlenme" ve "Dönüş" aşamaları biçiminde bir sınıflandırmaya tabi tutmuştur.

Modern zamanların bireysel duruşlarıyla özellikle roman türünde kendini gösteren kahramanlarının da belirli bir yolculuktan geçerek kendi hayatlarında ve toplumlarında bir yer edinmeleri söz konusudur. Bu minvalde, Campbell'ın kadim anlatılar üzerinden kurguladığı aşamaların, Alman edebiyatında ortaya çıkan Bildungsromanlar'daki kahramanların yolculuğu ile büyük oranda benzerlikler gösterdiği söylenebilir. Zira insanın toplum içerisinde kabul görmesi için yüzyıllar boyunca birtakım ritüeller ve eğitimler gerçekleştirilmiştir.

Türk edebiyatında da örneklerine rastlanılan Bildungsromanların ve Campbell'ın Kahramanın Sonsuz Yolculuğu'nda ileri sürdüğü örüntünün, kahramanın serüvenini içermekte ve izlediği yolun belirli bir kazanımla sonlanmakta olduğu görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda geleneksel ve modern anlatıların kahramanlarının nasıl bir motivasyonla yola çıktığı, hangi engellerle karşılaştığı ve nasıl bir dönüşüm yaşadıkları soruları akla gelmektedir. Çalışmada bunların cevabını bulmak amacıyla modern Türk edebiyatından Hakan Günday'ın Daha (2013), Hasan Ali Toptaş'ın Heba (2013), Orhan Pamuk'un Kafamda Bir Tuhaflık (2014) ve Abdullah Ataşçı'nın Yara Bende (2018) adlı eserleri seçilmiştir. Söylem analizi yönteminin kullanılacağı araştırmada, seçilen roman örnekleri üzerinden kahramanın yolculuğunun, Bildungsroman türü ve Campbell'ın anlatı örüntüsündeki biçimlerinin ortaklıklarına ve ayrılıklarına ışık tutulmaya çalışılacaktır.

Published: August 2023

Background: This retrospective study examines the importance of preoperative cardiology consultations in optimizing patient care and anesthesia surgical perioperative management. Methods: The study includes 7,756 patients from the Department of Anesthesiology at Mohammed V Military Teaching Hospital. Out of these, 122 patients were referred to cardiology consultations. Demographics, surgical specialties, reasons for referral, diagnostic tests, and interventions were analyzed. Results: Referred patients (average age 61.45 years) were mainly over 65 years old, with 59.01% being male. Common surgical specialties seeking consultations were abdominal surgery (30.327%), orthopedic surgery (26.230%), and urological surgery (19.672%). Hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes were prevalent risk factors. Most patients were classified as ASA II (50%) or ASA III (27.04%), with NYHA I (61.5%) or NYHA II (31.2%) classifications. Referrals were due to ECG abnormalities (41.0%), routine evaluation (19.7%), and history of myocardial infarction or previous coronary angiography (39.3%). Discussion: Preoperative cardiology consultations accounted for 1.57% of all pre-anesthesia clinic patients. They were vital in assessing and managing cardiovascular risks, consistent with previous studies. The impact of these consultations was evident in optimizing patient management through treatment plan adjustments and interventions. Conclusion: Preoperative cardiology consultations play a crucial role in identifying and managing cardiovascular risks, contributing significantly to patient care and improving perioperative management. Further research should evaluate long-term outcomes and cost-effectiveness across different patient populations.

Background: The purpose of this systematic review and meta-analysis study was to compare various caesarean delivery methods.

Methods: A search for available articles published since January 2023 was accomplished in PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane literature databases. The search method that encompassed all pertinent publications was developed using terms from the medical subject headings thesaurus and keywords from related literature. We also used the PICO method (where P is population, I is intervention, C is comparator/control, and O is outcome for our study) to establish research question. Whereas Cochrane handbook of “systematic reviews of interventions” was used for risk of bias assessment.

Results: The results showed a significant difference in patient gratification between the gentle/natural/skin-to-skin contact caesarean and the traditional/conventional/standard caesarean. In assessing the satisfaction with delivery mode, the mean variance for these studies similarly revealed a significant difference between the natural caesarean and the conventional one. A skin-to-skin contact caesarean delivery takes less time to start nursing than a conventional delivery, according to the results of the study on the time of breastfeeding initiation after a natural caesarean. There was a low-risk bias among the selected studies.

Conclusions: As a result of greater satisfaction with delivering experience the natural caesarean delivery was most preferred method. The enhanced skin-to-skin contact and breastfeeding suggested that natural caesarean is beneficial over the conventional method.

Introduction: Sexual dysfunction associated with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) is common and validated questionnaires for assessment are recommended.
 Aim: To develop and validate the Kazakh-translated version of the female sexual function index (Kz-FSFI).
 Methods: Kz-FSFI was translated from the original version for validation, and its precision was ascertained through reverse translation by an expert team. 35 sexually active females participated in an evaluation of the test-retest reliability of the Kazakh version over a two-week period. In the next stage, 110 healthy women and 40 patients with POP aged 18-55 years were enrolled in the study. The validity, internal consistency reliability and test-retest reliability of the questionnaires were assessed.
 Results: The cross-cultural adaptation of Kz-FSFI achieved good semantic, conceptual, idiomatic and content equivalence. The test-retest reliability was shown to be high in all of the cases (p<0.001). Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for total and domain scores were sufficiently high (range 0.85-0.94) for the total sample. The discriminant validity showed statistically significant differences between patients with POP-associated sexual dysfunctions and the control group.
 Conclusions: Kz-FSFI questionnaire is a valuable tool for screening women with sexual dysfunction. As this questionnaire had validity in the Kazakhstan survey, it could be used for medical counselling and future investigation in our country.

This study intended to assess the extent to which computer-simulated teaching tools influence Rwandan senior four students’ understanding of graphs of projectile motion. Two schools were purposively selected, and 54 students were grouped in the control and experimental groups. Students’ scores on a multiple-choice test were collected and analyzed using frequencies and inferential statistics. Results showed that students in the experimental group got the average normalized gain in the medium range, t(36)=3.944, p<0.01 whereas in the control group it was in the low range, t(16)=1.788, p>0.05. It was found that students in the experimental group improved their understanding of graphs of projectile motion better than students who were taught using traditional methods, t(52)=-2.194, p=0.033. The study shows that using computer-simulated teaching tools influences positively students’ understanding of graphs of projectile motion. The use computer-simulated teaching tools in teaching projectile motion is recommended for physics teachers and further studies.

This research explored the extra-curricular activities (ECA) in the secondary schools in Nawalparasi (Bardaghat-Susta East), District of Nepal. The research questions of this study incorporate stakeholders’ (head teachers and secondary level teachers) perceptions, existing practices, problems, and remedial measures regarding practice of ECA in secondary schools. The study is guided by Alexander (1999)’s student involvement theory and Vygotsky’s socio-cultural theory of learning. The study population included 239 secondary level teachers and 78 head teachers from Nawalparasi (Bardaghat-Susta East)’s 78 public secondary schools. The sample was chosen using a simple random sampling method with a lottery. The study’s samples included 150 secondary level teachers and 66 head teachers. This study was guided by post-positivist paradigmatic assumptions and was designed quantitatively. Data were collected using the survey method. A structured questionnaire was administered to secondary level teachers and head teachers to collect data. After collecting the data, it was entered into SPSS and analyzed using descriptive statistics–frequencies, percentages, mean and standard deviation, and inferential statistics with a non-parametric Chi-square test. The results of the five-point likert scale converted trichotomize scale and closed-ended questionnaires and revealed that teachers have a high level of awareness of ECA knowledge, its importance, and implementation. This study found that head teachers and secondary level teachers involved students in different extra-curricular and social activities to successfully complete school education, as Astin’s and Vygotsky’s theory explained. The practices towards ECAs were stated by Ministry of Education’s national education system plan (MoE, 1971) as an integral part of the school program in which participation would be compulsory for teachers and students and hence found compatible with the policy. In almost all cases, the responses of secondary level teachers and head teachers are nearly identical. As a result, head teachers and secondary level teachers, practiced and implemented ECAs to make them relevant and necessary for students’ educational achievement.

The traditional fermented fish adjuevan is widely used as a condiment in many types of flavorings in Côte d’Ivoire. However, fermentation process and storage conditions may lead to the production of biogenic amines (BAs) which an excessive consumption can induce severe toxicological effects. In order to define adapted strategies for shelf-life extension programs and ensure the safety of consumers, aminogenic enterobacteria and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) were identified during the storage of adjuevan in a refrigerator (4 °C) and ambient temperature (28-30 °C). To do so, adjuevan samples from the fish species Chloroscombrus chrysurus, Galeoides decadactylus and Thunnus thynnus were collected from local producers and stored over a period of eight weeks. BA-producing strains were isolated on Niven medium and identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing. The results showed that BA-producing bacteria were predominantly present during storage at ambient temperature and enterobacteria were dominant, especially in adjuevan from G. decadactylus, with proportions ranging from 20% to 66.67%. A total of 14 species of BA-producing enterobacteria belonging to genus Enterobacter, Proteus, Providencia, Klebsiella, Pectobacterium, Shigella, Mixta and Escherichia were identified. The dominant species were P. vermicola (25.86%), E. cloacae (18.97%) and E. steigerwaltii (13.79%). Eight species of BA-producing lactic acid bacteria belonging to genus Enterococcus and Pediococcus were also identified. The dominant species varied according to the storage temperature and the fish species used. Thus, for adjuevan from T. thynnus, P. vermicola and Shigella sonnei were the dominant enterobacteria species at ambient temperature and refrigeration respectively.

Wounds have been widespread issues since ancient times. Although the restoration of tissue is a normal reaction to any form of injury, the healing of an open wound is delayed by bacterial contamination. In the medical science of Ayurveda, there are numerous pearls that can be used to cure wounds without any complications. Our Āchāryās (teachers) categorized the medications related to Vrana Shōdhana (wound cleaning) and Vrana Rōpana (wound healing) and provided a general description of the treatment concepts of wound management. Six plants with various therapeutic properties, cow ghee, and rock salt make up a particular Ayurveda formula. In order to manage wound healing, this study reviewed a few Ayurvedic formulas that are mentioned in the Bhāvaprakāsha (classical text) based on their pharmacological and pharmacodynamics capabilities. The main goal of this investigation is to examine how the chemicals in this recipe affect wound healing. Information about wound was acquired from Ayurvedic scriptures, contemporary texts, and earlier research studies (from primary and secondary sources). Afterwards a survey of the literature was done on those six herbs. Also, these selected herbs were examined for their Pancha Padārtha (5 elements of the herb) and pharmacological qualities. Due to the fact that the chosen formula was primarily made up of Kapha, Pitta and Vāta Shamana (pacify humors of body) it was noted that the Ayurvedic pharmacodynamics qualities and actions (karmas) for wound healing were found. As a result, the effectiveness of the chosen Ayurvedic formula in managing wound healing can be demonstrated.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic autoimmune condition that causes joint abnormalities, articular tissue loss, and non-specific inflammation of peripheral joints. Rheumatoid arthritis is more prevalent in women and wealthy countries, where it affects 0.3% to 1% of the population. Ayurveda Rheumatoid arthritis (Āmavāta) occurs due to vitiation of Kapha and Vāta Dōsha (body humors). The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy of a particular herbal paste in treating rheumatoid arthritis based on the pharmacological characteristics and effects of its constituent parts. Information about rheumatoid arthritis was acquired from Ayurvedic scriptures, contemporary texts and earlier research studies (from primary and secondary sources). Afterwards a survey of the literature was done on those five ingredients in the selected paste and then analyzed for their Pancha Padārtha (five elements of herb) and pharmacological qualities regarding in the management of rheumatoid arthritis. Reviewed articles have highlighted that selected herbal formula has anti-inflammatory qualities because of their compatibility with Shōtha Hara (reduce swelling), Vēdanāsthāpana (reduce pain) Guna (qualities). According to the literature review and Pancha Padārtha analysis, selected herbal formula is useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis.

The impact of strategic communication in executing counterinsurgency operations against terrorism cannot be over emphasised. This basically drives the non kinetic approach that slows us radicalisation of young adults, counters the narratives used by terror cells to gain sympathy from the locals and endangers the ability of terror cells to stablish Forwarding Operation Base in the ungoverned spaces in the northeast. This study examines the effect of strategic communications on the fight against terrorism in the North East of Nigeria. Strategic communications is measured with counter narratives and communication channels. The study adopts survey research design. The population covers the Adamawa State (4,248,436), Bauchi State (6,537,314), Borno State (5,860,183), Gombe State (3,256,962), Taraba State (3,066,834) and Yobe State (3,294,137) whose aggregated population is 26,263,866. The study employed scientific sampling technique determination designed by Krejcie and Morgan (1970) that recommends a sample size of 384 for a population above one (1) million. It randomly selects expert based on their expertise on the phenomenon being studied. The study utilized primary data with the aid of questionnaires developed in five point likert scale. It utilized multiple regression analysis as the technique of data analysis. The study concludes that counter narratives are designed to counter the issues raised by terrorist organizations to justify their actions. The study also concludes that the use of Radio and TV to deliver counter narrative messages improves the fight against terrorism in the North East of Nigeria. The channel of communication determines whether the information will reach the right people and the right time. Also, it determines the level of seriousness that one will attach to the message. The use of community leaders and other members of society with influence like celebrities are recommended, because they have the power to influence many people. The study recommends the development of a strategic communication team that is part of the Counter Violent Extremism program. The study also recommends the expansion of communication channel infrastructure to many parts of the country with the aim of reaching the most vulnerable populations that are targeted for radicalization.
