Published: June 2022

The aim of the study is to assess the degree of involvement of various Russian regions in the implementation of governmental projects for university support, which is essential for the balanced development of national higher education system and the spatial development of the country as a whole. The task of effectively using the research and educational potential of universities for the development of particular regions is currently being under realization in many countries, including Russia, which determines the relevance of this study. The analysis is based on the quadrant distribution of national regions in the Federal State Statistics Service Rankings 2018 on regional GDP, the Regional Innovation Development Rankings 2018–2019, issued by the Higher School of Economics. We compared universities located in regions with similar characteristics of their economic development, and assessed the impact of 11 major governmental projects for university support, which have been implemented or continue since 2006. The study is targeted at tracking correlations between the regional distribution of universities supported by these projects, the amounts of funding, and the scales of innovation and economic development of the regions. We conclude that at present, in comparison with previous periods, a more balanced approach is being taken to the selection of universities-participants of such government projects from the point of view of their location in regions with different characteristics. At the same time, the distribution of financial support points to the existing serious gaps between the leading and other universities.

Background: Increasing evidence has suggested that iron accumulation plays an important role in the onset and development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, the potential mechanism remains unclear. Objective: The present study investigated the associations of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ferritin, an indicator for brain iron load, with neurodegenerative and inflammatory changes in AD. Methods: The study involved 302 participants from the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). They were classified as normal controls (A–T–N–, n = 48), AD continuum (A+TN–, n = 46; A+TN+, n = 166), and suspected non-AD pathology (A–TN+, n = 42), according to the amyloid/tau/neurodegeneration (ATN) system. Group comparisons of CSF ferritin among groups were performed using one-way ANOVA. Linear regression models were used to test the relationships between CSF ferritin and cognitive assessments, and the associations between CSF ferritin and other biomarkers, respectively. Results: We found that CSF ferritin showed significant differences among the ATN groups, with higher concentration in more advanced categories (A+TN+). Furthermore, CSF ferritin level was independently related to cognitive performance (MMSE, ADAS-Cog13, and ADNI-mem). Linear regression analysis indicated positive relationships between CSF ferritin and phosphorylated tau and total tau, rather than Aβ42. Significant associations were revealed between CSF ferritin and inflammatory proteins, including TNF-α, TNFR1, TNFR2, ICAM1, VCAM1, TGF-β1, IL-9, and IP-10, respectively. Conclusion: Our results provide new insight into iron dysfunction in AD pathology and highlight elevated brain iron as a possible mechanism of neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation along AD continuum.
DAPI (4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) Stains Compact Amyloid Plaques
Authors: Mabrouk Rana , Gotkiewicz Maria , Rauramaa Tuomas , Tanila Heikki
Published: June 2022

DAPI is conventionally used as a nuclear stain for cells in culture or tissue. Here we demonstrate that it binds specifically to the β-sheet core of amyloid-β plaques but not diffuse amyloid-β at the plaque periphery. The specific DAPI induced blue fluorescence is much stronger than amyloid plaque autofluorescence. DAPI staining of fibrillar amyloid deposit may yield a misleading impression of damaged or dying cells. On the other hand, it provides a handy and low-cost means of staining compact amyloid plaques together with cell nuclei in double or triple immunofluorescent studies.
A new D numbers’ integration rule based on pessimistic criterion
Authors: Jie Zheng , Daijun Wei , Liming Tang
Published: June 2022

For D numbers theory, there are some drawbacks in the D numbers’ integration rule. For example, the missing information is ignored in the final decision judgment for multi-attribute decision (MADM). For this problem, some researchers have improved the D numbers’ integration rules based on optimistic criterion for overcoming the shortcoming of D numbers’ integration rule. However, optimistic and pessimistic criterion are two sides of the coin for fuzzy environment. Therefore, in this article, a new D numbers’ integration rules based on pessimistic criterion is proposed. We improve the D numbers’ integration rules to redefine the missing information distribution rules based on pessimistic criterion. The missing information is distributed in inverse proportion to each D number according to the size of the original evidence credibility. Two examples of MADM is applied by the proposed method, the results show that the proposed method can be applied to MADM.

Authors: Mishra Anju , Singh Laxman , Pandey Mrinal , Lakra Sachin
Published: June 2022

Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a disease that damages the retina of the human eye due to diabetic complications, resulting in a loss of vision. Blindness may be avoided If the DR disease is detected at an early stage. Unfortunately, DR is irreversible process, however, early detection and treatment of DR can significantly reduce the risk of vision loss. The manual diagnosis done by ophthalmologists on DR retina fundus images is time consuming, and error prone process. Nowadays, machine learning and deep learning have become one of the most effective approaches, which have even surpassed the human performance as well as performance of traditional image processing-based algorithms and other computer aided diagnosis systems in the analysis and classification of medical images. This paper addressed and evaluated the various recent state-of-the-art methodologies that have been used for detection and classification of Diabetic Retinopathy disease using machine learning and deep learning approaches in the past decade. Furthermore, this study also provides the authors observation and performance evaluation of available research using several parameters, such as accuracy, disease status, and sensitivity. Finally, we conclude with limitations, remedies, and future directions in DR detection. In addition, various challenging issues that need further study are also discussed.
Consumer expenditure structure: Analysis based on extended linear expenditure system
Authors: Sinha Jitendra Kumar
Published: June 2022

This study has analyzed the consumer demand and expenditure structure of commodities concerning the income of the sampled households using the Extended Linear Expenditure System Model. Budget shares and expenditure elasticities were estimated for household consumption categories allowing for a comparison of expenditure elasticities between the two seasons. Expenditure elasticities for consumer expendables, durables, and transport were highly elastic. Tradable and non-tradable non-farm goods are highly expenditure elastic indicating that an increase in household income will result in a proportionately greater increase in expenditure on it. Increased expenditure on non-tradable goods and services may stimulate local production and create new employment and enterprise opportunities, while the increased expenditure on tradable goods represents a leakage of income from the local economy. An increase in farm incomes has the potential to stimulate economic growth through the stimulation of increased local production of non-farm goods and services. Increased income will also result in increased expenditure on goods not locally produced, which means leakage of income from the local economy. Increased production is limited by factors such as insecure tenure and cash flow problems that are amplified by high transaction costs associated with obtaining credit. Better access to credit would improve cash flow problems somewhat, but transaction costs need to be lowered through the improvement of physical and institutional infrastructure. Demand-led growth needs to be strengthened with the production of goods not currently produced. Processing raw food materials into more convenient items would encourage increased local expenditure with increased income and possibly reduce the leakage of income from the local economy. The diversification into non-farm activities such as product processing requires investment and poses a risk. Insecure tenure creates a disincentive to investment as producers are not guaranteed the benefits from their investment. Public policy should focus on alleviating tenure security and institutional infrastructure to strengthen the potential for demand-led growth. These results may be valid for any underdeveloped/developing agrarian regions or economy of the globe.

Published: June 2022

BACKGROUND: Cervical histopathology image classification is a crucial indicator in cervical biopsy results. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to identify histopathology images of cervical cancer at an early stage by extracting texture and morphological features for the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. METHODS: We extract three different texture features and one morphological feature of cervical histopathology images: first-order histogram, K-means clustering, Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) and nucleus feature. The original dataset used in our experiment is obtained from 20 patients diagnosed with cervical cancer, including 135 whole slide images (WSIs). Given an entire WSI, the patches on its tissue region are extracted randomly. RESULTS: We finally obtain 3,000 patches, including 1,000 normal, 1,000 hysteromyoma and 1,000 cancer images. Among them, 80% of the entire data set is randomly selected as training set and the remaining 20% as test set. The accuracy of SVM classification using first-order histogram, K-means clustering, GLAM and nucleus feature for extracting features are respectively 87.4%, 90.6%, 91.6% and 93.5%. CONCLUSIONS: The classification accuracy of the SVM combining the four features is 96.8%, and the proposed nucleus feature plays a key role in the SVM classification of cervical histopathology images.

Published: June 2022

The quality of planting media affects plant growth because it contains nutrients that support growth. Differences in the composition of the planting media may also have different effects on plant growth. This study aims to identify the growth response of red jabon seedlings on various compositions of planting media. The research design used was Completely Randomized Design (CRD) with different treatments on the planting media composition (M1: soil; M2: soil and sand; M3: soil, sand and compost; and M4: soil, sand and manure). Seedling growth variables observed were seedling height, seedling diameter, number of leaves and leaf area. The parameters were Shoot-Root Ratio (SRR) and the Seedling Quality Index (SQI). The results showed that M4 media gave greater growth in seedling height, seedling diameter, number of leaves and leaf area. Meanwhile, M3 provides higher SRR and SQI scores. Differences in the composition of the planting media had a significant effect on the leaf area.

Global warming is a problem that must be addressed through various mitigation efforts. One of the mitigation efforts is to increase the number of trees and plants that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The purpose of this study is to inventory the types of trees in Mulawarman University's green open space environment on the Mount Kelua Campus in Samarinda, East Kalimantan. Data was collected by establishing plots in three green open space locations: next to Kurusetra, next to the guest house Unmul, and behind the workshop Fahutan Unmul. The study discovered the greatest number of tree individuals is Shorea leprosa Miq, with as many as 38 individuals in green open space near University of Mulawarman Guesthouse. In terms of biomass and carbon accumulation, the species of Hevea brasiliensis had the highest values, reaching 964 kg/species and 453.1 kg/species, respectively. Meanwhile, the potential for carbon dioxide absorption in Artocarpus odoratissimus Blanco is the highest at 3382.6 kg/species. The three locations of green open space campuses have the potential to have carbon uptake that is still increasing, enabling green open space to function as a means of conservation education and support optimal environmental comfort.

Relevance. Conducting research on the resistance of hybrid tea roses to phytopathogenic harmful organisms and determining the species composition of pathogens and factors affecting their developmen.

Methods. The objects of the study were the causative agents of fungal diseases of varieties of hybrid tea roses from the collection of the Stavropol Botanical Garden. The research was carried out using the Methodology of state variety testing of agricultural crops.

Results. The results of studying the species composition of mycosis pathogens on varieties of roses of the tea-hybrid garden group of the collection of the Stavropol Botanical Garden are presented. The nature and degree of damage to plants is described, the causes are established and methods of containment of diseases are developed. The most harmful and common diseases on hybrid tea roses in growing conditions are: powdery mildew (Podosphaera pannosa Lew. var. rosae Voron.); downy mildew (Peronoplasmopara sparsa (Berk.) Uljan.); rust (is caused by 2 pathogens — Phragmidium mucronatum (Pers.) Schltdl., Phragmidium tuberculatum Mϋll. Hal.); gray rot (Botrytis cinerea Pers.) and leaf spotting of different types: black spot (Diplocarpon rosae F.A. Wolf. = Marssonina rosae (Lib.) Diet.); septoria (Septoria rosae Desm.); cercosporiasis (Cercospora rosiola Pass.), the development of which was facilitated by meteorological conditions over the years of research. Evaluation of hybrid tea cultivaris of roses for resistance to fungal diseases was carried out in 2019-2021 in the collection of the Stavropol botanical garden on a natural infectious background on a 5-point scale during the period of mass spread of diseases. Despite the fact that all cultivaris of hybrid tea roses are affected by fungal diseases, it has been found that different cultivaris are affected differently. According to the degree of resistance to the complex of diseases, 4 cultivaris received 1 point (practically resistant), 52 cultivaris received 2 points (weakly affected), 74 cultivaris received 3 points (mediumly affected), 33 cultivaris received 4 points (strongly affected). Regular monitoring of the phytosanitary state of the studied cultivaris, biological and chemical protection measures made it possible to reduce the massive spread of fungal diseases and preserve the decorative effect of plants.

Relevance. With the organization of optimal conditions for keeping and full-fledged, balanced feeding, a more complete realization of the bioresource potential of meat productivity is possible. Interbreeding contributes to the production of crossbred young animals, which, due to enriched heredity, have the potential for intensive growth and achieving a high level of meat productivity.

Methods. For the study, 3 groups of bulls of the following genotype were formed from newborn young animals: I — Kazakh white-headed, II — 1/2 Hereford x 1/2 Kazakh white-headed, III — 3/4 Kazakh white-headed x 1/4 Hereford.

Results. It was established that due to a more significant manifestation of the effect of crossing, the crossbred bulls of the II group (1/2 Hereford x 1/2 Kazakh whitehead) were superior to the crossbred peers of the III group (3/4 Kazakh whitehead x 1/4 Hereford) in the consumption of all types of nutrients. It is suffice to say that this advantage in dry matter intake was 98.9 g (1.1%), organic matter — 87.9 g (1.1%), crude protein — 18.8 g (1.4%), crude fat — 3.8 g (1.3%), crude fiber — 28.2 g (1.4%), nitrogen-free extractives — 37.1 g (0.9%). The obtained experimental data indicate the influence of the genotype of young animals on the value of the coefficient of digestibility of nutrients in the diet. At the same time, crossbred bulls of groups II and III better than purebred peers of the Kazakh white-headed breed used the nutrients of the feed diet that entered the body. This is evidenced by the value of the coefficient of their digestibility. It was found that the maximum consumption of all types of energy was characterized by crossbred half-blooded (1/2 Hereford x 1/2 Kazakh white-headed) bulls of group II.
Impact of biologized crop rotations on infestation of crops in arid steppe conditions of Trans-Ural region of Bashkortostan
Authors: Kaipov Ya. Z. , Chukbar N. A.
Published: June 2022

Relevance. The influence of crop rotations on the infestation of crops has been little studied. А goal was to investigate the influence of biologized crop rotations on infestation of crops in the arid steppe of the Trans-Ural region of Bashkortostan.

Methods. The relief of the experimental field is flat, represented by the foothill steppe of the Southern Urals. The soil is black soil, common medium-coal. The climate is arid, with periodically hot summer and moderately cold and little snow winter periods. During the years of experiments (2019–2021), the amount of precipitation for the vegetation period, May — August, averaged 88 mm. Over the past 10–15 years, the aridity and unevenness of the distribution of atmospheric precipitation has noticeably increased, which led to the oppression of field crops and the complication of the fight against weeds.The method of field experimentswas applied. Accounting of infestation was carried by quantitative and weight method. The effect of biologized crop rotations with cereals and alfalfa on the degree ofinfestation of crops compared to traditional grainfallow rotation was evaluated.

Results. The infestation of crops in experimental crop rotations depended on the strength of the development of cultivated crops and suppression of weed plants. In the favorable conditions of 2019, weeds developed poorly in well-developed crops, with an amount of 8–10 piece /m2 in biologized crop rotation. In grain-fallow crop rotation, the infestation was 1.2–1.9 times greater. On average over three years at the beginning of the field crop vegetation there are 14–19 piece /m2 weeds in biologized crop rotations, which is 45–56% less than in grain-fallow crop rotation. Before harvesting, the difference in infestation between crop rotations is reduced to 12–29%, but the advantage in reducing infestation in biologized crop rotations remains. In more humidi fied years, fertilizers contribute to a decrease in infestation compared to a back ground without fertilizer. In especially dry years, fertilizers lead to some increase of infestation of crops. Thus, it was found that biologized crop rotations effectively reduce the infestation of crops, regardless of the background of fertilizer.

Çin’in Vuhan kentinde 2019 Aralık’ta salgının başlamasına neden olan koronavirüs (Covid-19), Türkiye de dâhil olmak üzere birçok ülkede görülmektedir. Koronavirüs salgını yayılma aşaması ve hızında gösterdiği ivme ile küresel bir afet olsa da dünya genelinde tüm ülkeler mücadelelerine ulusal olarak devam etmektedir. Her devlet, politikaları ile mücadelede farklı yöntemleri uygulamaktadır. Bu yöntemler ile afet sonrası süreçte toplumun tüm kesimlerinin eşit oranda etkilenmiyor oluşu, uygulamaya koyulan önlemlerin önem teşkil ediciliği ile yakından ilişkilidir. Çalışma koronavirüsün pandemi ilan edilmesinden 2021 Mayıs ayına kadar olan süreçte Türkiye’de çalışma çerçevesinde belirlenen tüm dezavantajlı gruplara yönelik alınan önlemleri kapsamaktadır. Çalışmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden doküman analizi tercih edilmiştir. Çalışma ile dezavantajlı gruplarda yer alan bireylerin afet yönetim süreçlerinin her aşamasında alınacak önlemlerde yer alması ve koronavirüs salgınının gelecekte yaşanacak afetlerin yönetiminde bir altlık oluşturması amaçlanmaktadır. Çalışmada, Avrupa Konseyi, BM Mülteci Örgütü ve UNESCO tarafından belirlenen standartlar referans alınarak Türkiye özelinde sadece devlet ölçeğinde dezavantajlı gruplar (yaşlılar, gençler, çocuklar, engelliler, özel sektör işçileri, çalışan kadınlar, yoksullar, göçmenler, evsizler ve tutuklular) için alınan önlemler üzerine odaklanılmaktadır. Çalışmada, dezavantajlı gruplar için alınan önlemlerin homojen bir dağılım göstermediği yaşlılar, gençler ve çocuklara yönelik önlemlerin sayı olarak fazla olduğu ancak içerik olarak tekrarlardan oluştuğu belirlenmiştir. Engelliler, işçiler, kadınlar, yoksullar, göçmenler, evsizler ve tutuklular için alınan önlemlerin ise yeterli sayıda olmadığı görülmektedir.
Covid-19 Sürecinde Yaşlı Bireylere Yönelik Dini-Manevi Destek Hizmetlerin Gereksinimi
Authors: GEDİK Mehmet
Published: June 2022

“Yaşlılık” konusu, sosyal bilimlerin başlıca araştırma konuları arasındaki yerini almıştır. İnsanlığın hızlı yaşlanma süreci, birçok ülkenin başlıca sorunları arasında yerini alırken, Türkiye’yi de oldukça endişelendiren sorunların başında geldiği görülmektedir. Özellikle içerisinde yaşanılan bu Covid-19 sürecinin yaşlı bireylere yönelik endişeleri daha da artırdığı gözlemlenmiştir. Yaşlı bireylerin sosyal sorunları, Pandemiye yönelik kısıtlamalar, yaşlı bireylerin sürdürülebilir yaşam şartlarını zorlaştırmış, dini-manevi destek ihtiyaçlarını daha da arttırmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı; dünya genelinde artış gösteren yaşlı nüfusun mikro, mezzo ve makro düzeyde toplumsal bir sorun olarak algılatılmasının, dini-manevi gereksinimlerinin göz ardı ediliyor olmasının evrensel temel insan hak bildirileri, anayasa ve yasalar anlamında oldukça yanlış bir tutum olduğuna dikkat çekmektir. Bu bağlamda Covid-19 sürecinde yaşanan hassas durumlar dikkate alınarak, sosyal hizmet disiplini dâhilinde yaşlı bireylere sunulması gereken hizmetlerin dini-manevi destek hizmetleri çerçevesinde sunulmasının gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktır. Covid-19 sürecinin bütün insanlar için geçici bir süreç olduğu ve yeniden “Normal Yaşam”a dönülebileceği umutlarının korunmaya çalışıldığı görülmektedir. Bu süreçte yaşlı bireylerin dini-manevi perspektifte ele alınan psikolojik sorunlarının “Etkinlik (Aktivite)”, “Rol Bırakma” ve “İlişki Kesme” teorileri çerçevesinde dezavantajlara dönüştürülmemesi oldukça önem arz etmektedir. Bu bağlamda, holistik bir yaklaşım olarak yaşlı bireylerin bütün sosyal ilişkilerinde kendi kendilerine yetebilme ve rollerini bırakmama yönünde dini-manevi destek hizmetlerinin daha etkin sunulmasının gerekliliği oldukça önem arz eden eklektik bir yaklaşım olarak görülmektedir.
Is an Economic Integration a Stimulus for Convergence? Analysis of European Union’s Last Enlargement
Authors: TOPLU YILMAZ Özlem
Published: June 2022

This study investigates the issue of the economic integration model's stimulus for convergence between the countries. As an example, the European Union, which is a successful model of economic integration, is taken. With the last enlargement wave of the European Union, the convergence of new members that joined the Union after 2000 was analyzed. Real convergence is estimated by using log regression model and nominal convergence is analyzed with the help of Convergence Reports. The results show that participation in an economic integration and also trade openness contribute to convergence in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth among members. Trade openness is a stimulus for convergence in GDP growth in former members and new members, apart from the crisis and recovery years (2008-2013). It can be said that being included in an economic integration has a positive effect on trade openness, GDP growth and GDP per capita. Convergence was seen in 2000-2007 and 2014-2020 periods. In the 2008-2013 period, divergence was observed. The divergence experienced during the crisis years showed that nominal convergence was not sufficient to achieve harmonized growth and to overcome the crisis. In the European Union, a more harmonized growth can be achieved if real convergence is also taken into account.

Published: June 2022

Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) often constitute a meal’s main carbohydrate source. When consumed outside the home, dishes are often prepared in large-scale food service systems, like school canteens and hospitals. To manage the logistics of serving the required quantities of potatoes, raw tubers must be prepared by washing, industrial peeling, preservative actions, and packaging to stand transportation and storage before cooking. There are several steps of pre-treatment, packaging, transportation, and cooking techniques that differ from traditional preparation at home, and each of these steps— or more likely a combination of several steps— might contribute to reduced quality in terms of enzymatic discoloration, microbiological failure, and subsurface hardening. In this review, the effect of each of these steps on the potato tuber; from industrial peeling to steam-cooking in the large-scale food service system, has been studied to understand where the most significant quality changes occur, and to understand the combined impact of different actions.

Мета роботи. Мета дослідження – визначити стильові ознаки артистичного іміджу Френсіса Альберта (Френка) Сінатри в контексті сучасної іміджелогії. Актуальність дослідження обумовлена протиріччям між колосальним масштабом мистецької особистості Ф. Сінатри, значним внеском артиста до розвитку музичного мистецтва ХХ ст. та відсутністю в українській музикології досліджень, присвячених його творчості. Методологія дослідження базується на поєднанні загальнонаукових та спеціальних музикознавчих методів, зокрема методу стильового аналізу. Зазначений методологічний підхід дозволяє визначити стильові ознаки артистичного іміджу Ф. Сінатри в контексті сучасної іміджелогії. Наукову новизну дослідження визначає наукова реконструкція артистичного іміджу Ф. Сінатри в дзеркалі сучасної іміджелогії, що полягає в уточненні, систематизації та розкритті змістовно-стильових ознак артистичного іміджу співака. Висновки. Артистичний імідж Ф. Сінатри є потужною складовою загального образу митця, який дозволив йому стати «іконою стилю» й улюбленцем мільйонів шанувальників. З позицій сучасної іміджелогії, невід’ємними складовими побудови артистичного іміджу є ефекти фасцинації і атракції. Саме атракція і фасцинація, якими майстерно володів Ф. Сінатра, стали важливими передумовами створення його артистичного іміджу та унікальної формули мистецького успіху. Пріоритетне значення у забезпеченні ефективного функціонування фасцинації і атракції має рівень володіння особою, імідж якої створюється, особливою «технікою самопрезентації». Саме цією технікою із виключною майстерністю користувався Ф. Сінатра, імідж якого значною мірою базувався на вмінні якнайкраще «подати себе» публіці. Суттєвим фактором створення артистичного іміджу співака був також стиль одягу, який, за словами самого митця, найяскравіше відображав його емоційний стан.

This research explored the impact that technology has on students with special needs, some of whom are English Language Learners (ELL). Previous studies have found that technology brings “inclusion in the classroom helps meet the students' needs and improves academic success” (Lowrey et al., 2017). Literature has also shown the value of including students and ensuring that students understand how they learn best (Brown et al.,1998). This research was conducted at an elementary school in Northern California, and included eight students with special needs, two of whom were English Language Learners. Three district personnel were also interviewed. The students' participation focused on empowering them to co-create lessons amongst themselves and exploring the use of technology to learn and then teach a lesson to the class. The findings from the research showed that technology created a “fun” and inclusive environment that facilitated self-learning. It also brought awareness to the students' knowledge and creativity of submitting assignments, that students could recognize multiple ways for completing work. This research has important implications toward the types of professional development and video tutorials that districts could offer teachers to help them learn new technology programs to support students with learning disabilities and who may be classified as language learners. In addition, the findings provide support to increase funding for technology, including iPads and Apple pencils, to support equity, inclusion, and the realities of learning climates for all students.

The identification and antibiotic susceptibility of two clinical isolates of Eggerthella lenta from bloodstream infections were determined. This microorganism is rarely pathogenic, and the findings are presented here to promote the detection and awareness of this infection. The bacteria were obtained from one patient with pressure sores and another with a malignant gastric tumor. Smears were prepared, stained, and examined by microscopy. Single colonies were analyzed by Gram staining, MALDI-TOF MS, and the 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Antibiotic sensitivity was assessed by the agar dilution method. The bacilli were found to be Gram-positive, and the MS results showed 99.8% homology with E. lenta. It was confirmed by gene sequencing. Antibiotic susceptibility tests demonstrated that E. lenta was sensitive to piperacillin-tazobactam, ampicillin-sulbactam, imipenem, meropenem, metronidazole, clindamycin, and vancomycin. This study could increase awareness of this rare infection.

Küresel ekonomide entegrasyon sürecinin hızlanması sonucunda ülkelerin ticari ve ekonomik ilişkileri artmıştır. Bu doğrultuda, küreselleşme neticesinde ülkelerin artan düzeyde gerçekleştirdikleri doğrudan yabancı yatırımların uluslararası ticaretleri üzerindeki etkilerinin analiz edilmesi, büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında N-11 ülkelerine gerçekleştirilen ve bu ülkelerden yurt dışına çıkan doğrudan yabancı yatırımların, bu ülkelerin ihracat ve ithalatları üzerindeki etkileri analiz edilmiştir. Değişkenler arasındaki uzun dönemli ilişkiler, Kao (1999), Pedroni (1999, 2004) ve Westerlund (2005) tarafından ortaya koyulan panel eşbütünleşme analizleri ile test edilmiştir. Sonuçlara göre, N-11 ülkelerinin uluslararası ticaretleri ile hem ülkeye giren, hem de diğer ülkelere gerçekleştirilen doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar arasında uzun dönemli bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca, değişkenler arasındaki nedensellik ilişkilerinin ortaya koyulması amacıyla gerçekleştirilen Dumitrescu-Hurlin (2012) panel nedensellik testi sonuçları, N-11 ülkelerine doğrudan yabancı sermaye girişleri ve ihracat ile ithalat arasında çift yönlü nedensellik ilişkisinin bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Öte yandan, N-11 ülkelerinde doğrudan yabancı sermaye çıkışlarından ihracat ile ithalata doğru ise tek yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Günümüzde Türk girişimciler tarafından yurt dışında üstlenilen işlerin ifası için Türkiye’den çok sayıda işçi yurt dışına götürülmektedir. Türkiye İş Kurumu da bu şekilde götürülen işçilere asgarî bir koruma sağlamak amacıyla matbu bir yurt dışı hizmet akdi hazırlamıştır.

Yurt dışı hizmet akitlerinde hukuk seçimine ilişkin hükümler bulunmaktadır. Yurt dışı hizmet akitlerinde yer alan hukuk seçimi sözleşmelerinin geçerliliği, lex fori olarak Türk hukukuna tâbidir. Türkiye İş Kurumu tarafından hazırlanan yurt dışı hizmet akdinin hükümleri, genel işlem koşulu olarak kabul edilebileceği için, hukuk seçimine dair kayıtların geçerliliği, genel işlem koşulları için aranan şartlara da uygun olması gerekir. Bu kapsamda hukuk seçimine ilişkin kayıtlar, yürürlük ve içerik denetimine tabidir.

Bu çalışma kapsamında, yurt dışı hizmet akitlerinde yer verilen hukuk seçimine ilişkin kayıtlarının geçerliliği üzerinde durulacaktır.
