Published: December 2021

The existing self recording instruments of India Meteorological Department (IMD) urgently require modernization by considering the demand for its real time interface with the modern now-casting tools like Doppler Weather Radar (DWR), real time weather models etc. Hence IMD has designed and developed a state-of-the-art Digital Automatic Recording System (DARS) for the automatic measurement, storage, display and communication of meteorological parameters like Atmospheric pressure, Wind speed, Wind direction, Air temperature, Relative humidity and Rainfall. The system has its origin from the existing IMD make High Wind Speed Recording (HWSR) System installed at more than 15 coastal observatories in the eastern coast of India, by suitable integration with different types of electronic meteorological sensors available in the global market. Authors have participated at various stages of design, development, installation, and data validation of the system. This paper highlights the design aspects of indigenous system and its data quality with respect to imported AWS and ground truth observations and the proposal for its installation at selected villages in a district to study the spatial variation of Wind and Rainfall during Monsoon period.

Authors: Yılmaz Makbule , Arslan F. Müge
Published: December 2021

Dünyada yıllarca yaşanan aşırı tüketim eğilimi, doğal çevrenin yıpranmasına sebep verdiğinden insanoğluna büyük bir tehdit oluşturmaktadır. Söz konusu tahribatın her geçen gün artıyor olmasının olumsuz sonuçları günümüzde iyice hissedilir hale gelmiştir. Covid-19 salgını, iklim krizi, vb., felaketler tüketicilerde eskiden olmadığı kadar fazla bir şekilde gelecek kaygısı yaratmaya başlamış ve buna bağlı olarak sürdürülebilirlik konusunda daha duyarlı hale gelmelerine sebep olmuştur. Tüketicilerin sürdürülebilirlik konusundaki beklentileri sadece devlet ve işletmeler ile sınırlı kalmamış, ayrıca kendi bireysel tüketimlerini ve yaşam tarzlarını da gözden geçirmelerine sebep olmuştur. Tüm bunlar dikkate alındığında gelecek kaygısının akademik çalışmalarda yeterince ele alınmamış olması şaşırtıcı bir durumdur. Gelecek kaygısının ayrıca tüketim, marka tutumu ve satın alma niyeti ile ilişkilerinin incelenmemiş olması literatürde büyük bir boşluk yaratmaktadır. Buradan hareketle çalışmanın amacı, gelecek kaygısının sürdürülebilir tüketim bilincine ve her ikisinin marka tutumu ve satın alma niyetine etkilerinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmada 414 Arçelik kullanıcısı üzerinden kolayda örnekleme yoluyla, çevrimiçi anket uygulanarak veri toplanmıştır. Yapısal Eşitlik Modellemesi analizi sonucuna göre gelecek kaygısının sürdürülebilir tüketim bilinci üzerinde, sürdürülebilir tüketim bilincinin marka tutumu üzerinde, marka tutumunun ise satın alma niyeti üzerinde anlamlı etkileri bulunmuş fakat gelecek kaygısı ve sürdürülebilir tüketim bilincinin satın alma niyeti üzerinde doğrudan bir etkisi saptanmamıştır.

Published: December 2021

İşletmeler ekonomik ya da ekonomi dışı unsurların finansal sonuçları üzerindeki olumsuz etkisinin önüne geçmek amacıyla finansal riskten korunma işlemlerini gerçekleştirir. Çoğunlukla türev finansal araçlar yardımıyla gerçekleşen finansal riskten koruma süreçlerinin doğru bir şekilde raporlanması işletmelerin varlık – kaynak yapısını ve karlılığını doğrudan etkilemektedir. Bu sebeple işletmeler riskten korunma muhasebesini uygulamaktadır. Riskten korunma muhasebesine ilişkin düzenlemeler TFRS 9, TMS 39 ve TMS 7’de yer almaktadır. Finans kurumlarınca yayımlanan ve finansal sözleşmelerdeki faiz oranlarına referans oluşturan referans faiz oranı uygulamasının yerini her ülkece belirlenecek alternatif faiz oranına bırakması sonucunda Uluslararası Muhasebe Standartları Kurulu içinde riskten korunma muhasebesi uygulamaları da olmak üzere birçok uygulamayı kapsayan “Gösterge Faiz Reformu” düzenlemesini iki aşamada uygulayıcılara sunmuştur. Bu çalışmada reformun riskten korunma muhasebesi üzerindeki etkisi iki aşama da dikkate alınarak incelenmiştir. Uygulama ve literatür açısından önemli bir kavram olan riskten korunma muhasebesinin IBOR reformu açısından ilk kez ele alınacak olması çalışmanın önemini ortaya koymaktadır

A STRUCTURAL MODEL PROPOSAL FOR ATTITUDES OF TURKISH CONSUMERS’ TOWARDS DISCOUNT STORES’ PRIVATE LABELS
Authors: Baran Tamer
Published: December 2021

The purpose of this study is to construct a structural model of consumers' attitudes towards private labels of discount stores and testing this model. Accordingly, three stores, which have operated in discount retailing and largest store number in Turkey, were included in the study. Based on the Turkish Statistical Institute Provincial Life Index report, the data were obtained from 14 provinces and 14 districts of these provinces, randomly determined from the provinces where all three stores were located in the city center and at least one district. The data obtained from 1230 respondents with a face-to-face survey and tested with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method using the AMOS statistical program. In the result of the study, it was found that store atmosphere is the most influential variable to consumers’ perceived quality. On the other hand, price has the highest effect on private labeled products of the discount stores. Moreover, the model fit indexes result show that the use of the theoretical model of the study is suitable for discount stores.
Identifying and addressing differential Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic student experiences at a post-1992 institution
Authors: MacDonnell Joanna , Bisel Amandip
Published: December 2021

The University of Brighton commissioned a university-wide study to identify some of the factors contributing to the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic degree awarding gap at UK Higher Education Institutions from the perspective of the students that it impacts. An Action Research focus-group
approach was used to inform the planning for the institutional 2020–2025 Access and Participation Plan and an application for the Advance HE Race Equality Charter. This project focused on students who were identified as British and/or qualified for home (UK-resident) tuition fees. This
paper presents the positive and negative factors identified from the focus groups as having a potential impact on the Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic student experience. Findings are separated into two categories, the academic student experience and the non-academic student experience, and
the paper highlights those factors which were consistent across the institution's provision. The paper also discusses the multifaceted, whole-institution approach which has been taken in response to these findings and the principles underpinning the actions and interventions. Final remarks
share reflections on the learning, both at an institutional and sector-level, and next steps that the University of Brighton intends to take to improve the student experience and address degree awarding gaps.

Published: December 2021

En este trabajo se hace referencia a la transición en las universidades de América Latina, en un periodo de cambios que no han alcanzado a consolidarse, y que ahora se ha agravado por la expansión de la pandemia del virus COVID-19 y sus distintas variantes. Las reflexiones son de un grupo de estudiosos de la educación superior de países seleccionados de América Latina que, como se podrá percibir, guardan muchas similitudes entre sí, a pesar de sus diferencias. Se abordan dimensiones fundamentales de las funciones sustantivas de las universidades, en un periodo que ahora se presenta como una nueva tendencia de reflexión y debate en el contexto de una crisis generalizada, no sólo sanitaria, sino también educativa, social, económica y mundial. El propósito de este trabajo es ofrecer a los lectores estudios de un contexto que se mueve y define en medio de una gran incertidumbre. No se puede hacer teoría sobre un fenómeno que está aún en marcha y, hay que seguirle la pista dada su alta complejidad. Como se puede comprender, decir algo definitivo sobre lo que está ocurriendo y postular una tesis determinista sería muy aventurado. Vivimos en un momento en donde los conocimientos, las ideas, las percepciones, nuestro posicionamiento respecto de lo que vivimos cambia casi cada día, o bien por oleadas intermitentes y que en otros momentos de disipan.

Itinerant ferromagnetism in narrow-band metals
Authors: Farkašovský P.
Published: December 2021

Since its introduction in 1963, the Hubbard model has becomes one of the most popular models used in the literature to study cooperative phenomena in narrow-band metals (ferromagnetism, metal-insulator transitions, charge-density waves, high-Tc superconductivity). Amongst all these cooperative phenomena, the problem of itinerant ferromagnetism in the Hubbard model has the longest history. However, in spite of an impressive research activity in the past, the underlying physics (microscopic mechanisms) that leads to the stabilization of itinerant ferromagnetism in Hubbard model (narrow-band metals) is still far from being understood. In this review we present our numerical results concerning this subject, which have been reached by small cluster exact diagonalization, density matrix renormalization group and quantum Monte Carlo calculations within various extensions of the Hubbard model. Particular attention is paid to a description of crucial mechanisms (interactions) that support the stabilization of the ferromagnetic state, and namely: (i) the long-range hopping, (ii) the correlated hopping, (iii) the long-range Coulomb interaction, (iv) the flat bands and (v) the lattice structure. Most of the presented results have been obtained for the one-dimensional case, but the influence of the increasing dimension of the system on the ferromagnetic state is also intensively discussed.
Structural, elastic, electronic and optical properties of the half-Heusler ScPtSb and YPtSb compounds under pressure
Authors: Radjai M. , Bouhemadou A. , Maouche D.
Published: December 2021

First-principles calculations using the plane-wave pseudopotential method within the generalized gradient approximation method were performed to study the pressure dependence of the structural, elastic, electronic and optical properties for the half-Heusler compounds ScPtSb and YPtSb in a cubic MgAgAs-type structure. The calculations were performed with the inclusion of spin-orbit coupling. The calculated equilibrium lattice parameters are in good agreement with the available experimental and theoretical values. The crystal rigidity and mechanical stability were discussed using the elastic constants and related parameters, namely bulk modulus, shear modulus, Debye temperature, Poisson's coefficient, Young's modulus and isotropic sound velocities. The calculated electronic band structures show that ScPtSb has an indirect gap of Γ-X type, whereas YPtSb has a direct band gap of Γ-Γ type. Furthermore, the effect of pressure on the optical properties, namely the dielectric function, absorption spectrum, refractive index, extinction coefficient, reflectivity and energy-loss spectrum is investigated for both compounds ScPtSb and YPtSb.

Broadband Market Sizing in Brazil
Authors: Mendonça Mário Jorge , Loureiro Paulo RA , Nascimento Jr Antônio , Ellery Jr Roberto
Published: December 2021

The objective of this study is to predict the potential broadband market in Brazil. This is done by combining information from two national databases: the 2010 census and the 2015 PNAD (National Household Survey). The 2015 PNAD is used to estimate the probability of the household accessing internet by broadband technology, using a logit regression. The broadband market is predicted using the estimated model with the same covariates found in the 2010 census. The prediction indicated a potential market of 45 million households, an additional of 6 million households in relation to the current situation. The new size of the broadband market is estimated if there is a 10% increase in the average penetration of broadband services in the main metropolitan areas. In this scenario, the new market covers 50.7 million households.

Authors: Castiblanco-Delgado Danny Steven , Seija-Butnaru Daniela , Molina-Arteta Bilena Margarita
Published: December 2021

Introduction: Administering systemic lidocaine has been shown to deliver effective analgesia for both cancer-related and non-cancer pain. Adverse effects and toxicity are rare with controlled administration.
Objective: To report the results obtained after the indication to manage with IV lidocaine infusion to control neuropathic pain flares in 9 cancer patients.
Methodology: Observational, descriptive, case series-type study. A search was conducted in the files of the Pain and Palliative Care Service of the National Cancer Institute - Instituto Nacional de Cancerología - in Bogotá. Patients over 18 years old diagnosed with cancer, who experienced high intensity neuropathic pain and with the cognitive ability to rate their pain in a numerical analogue scale (NAS), without any absolute contraindications for the use of IV lidocaine were included; patients were assessed between September 27 and November 21, 2019.
Results: 9 patients experiencing a pain flare-up which was characterized as neuropathic were registered, of which 89 % had some improvement following the administration of an initial lidocaine bolus. After one hour, 60 % reported over 40% improvement in the initial NAS. After 24 hours all patients had experienced some improvement, with a reduction of 46% in the pain scale as compared to the baseline.
Conclusions: In this series of cases, the intravenous infusion of lidocaine as an option for the management of neuropathic pain flares seems to reduce pain intensity following the initial bolus administration.
Advance Directives Document: knowledge and experiences of healthcare professionals in Colombia
Authors: Álvarez Acuña Ana Milena , Gomezese Ribero Ómar Fernando
Published: December 2021

Introduction: The Advanced Directives Document (ADD) is a bioethical quality benchmark for healthcare and assurance of compliance with the rights of autonomy, self-determination and dignity of the patient. This document was established over the past decade and currently there is no evidence about the attitudes and knowledge of the healthcare professionals with regards to the use of this tool in clinical practice in Colombia.
Objective: To describe the knowledge and experiences of healthcare professionals members of six Colombian Scientific Societies regarding the right to sign an ADD and explore the barriers to its applicability in clinical daily practice.
Methods: Descriptive, cross-sectional study conducted using an anonymous and voluntary e-survey with the participation of six Colombian Medical Societies. A questionnaire was designed comprising five groups of variables: general, ADD knowledge, medical experiences and personal experiences regarding advanced directives and potential obstacles to its implementation.
Results: 533 professionals participated in the survey. 54 % (n = 286) expressed their lack of awareness about the fact that there is law governing the ADD in Colombia; 34.33 % (n = 183) said they were familiar with the requirements of the document. Over the last year, 24 % of the professionals received one or more ADDs from their patients. Only 11.7 % of healthcare practitioners had themselves completed an ADD. 77.1 % of the professionals surveyed believe that the number of individuals with an ADD has not changed after the approval and regulation of the right to an advanced directives document. 86.6 % of the practitioners said they respected the ADD, notwithstanding the fact that the patient could benefit otherwise.
Conclusions: The overall perception of healthcare professionals with regards to the number of ADDs signed by patients is that the number has not changed after the approval of the Law in Colombia. This study evidenced that medical practitioners have a poor knowledge about the ADD and that there is a need to educate healthcare professionals about the ADD and to promptly implement institutional programs about Planning of Advanced Directives (PAD). Both strategies are challenging for the applicability of AD in Colombia.

Published: December 2021

The evidence regarding logistic considerations and safety events associated with prone position ventilation (PPV) is summarized and a flow diagrama for safe provision of mechanical ventilation in the setting of the COVID-19 pandemic is proposed. A review of the literature was conducted in the Medline via Pubmed, Embase, and Lilacs databases, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Central Register of Randomized Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effects, ProQuest Nursing and Allied Health Database, and Google scholar. Overall, 31 articles were selected for the analysis. The incidence of PPV-related safety events varies between 1% and 11.9% and the most frequent complications are pressure ulcers and airway complications. Early initiation of enteral nutrition is recommended, and transfers are possible in patients on PPV. There is controversy regarding contraindications and recommendations for PPV. Recommendations for its safe provision are based on expert opinions and the establishment of protocols for healthcare staff training. Clinical studies are required to determine which are the recommendations that should be considered for safe and reproducible PPV use during this pandemic.

Published: December 2021

Groundwater is the most important natural source for supplying of drinking water around the world, especially in rural areas. The 14th khoroo (sub-district) of Khan-Uul district of Ulaanbaatar is only one khoroos where its inhabitants engage in animal husbandry and agriculture, which play an important role in the district’s economic growth, faces an increasing shortage of groundwater due to population and economic growth in the agriculture sector in the sub-district. In this study, we present the hydro-chemical characteristics and spatial distribution of aquifer using GIS and multivariate statistical approaches. During the sampling periods, a total of 51 groundwater samples were collected from 46 deep wells and 5 shallow wells in the area between October and November 2019. Samples included parameters of anions and cations (Na+, K+, Ca2+, Mg2+, Cl-, SO42-, NO3-, HCO3-) and EC. Data from all the samples were subject to cluster and component analysis. As a result, three clusters were defined and it was established that the dominant groundwater type is HCO3-Ca2+-Na+.  The parameter of Mg2+ and Ca2+ were not set in the permissible limits of the second and third clusters. Principal component analysis (PCA) illustrated that the northern part of the study area is greater affected to anthropogenic activities and aquifer mineralogy. Moreover, it found that Ca2+ and Mg2+ correlated with each other, which could be helpful in site specific monitoring of groundwater quality. The results of the study will contribute to management and quality control of the groundwater in the city.
To the top: the impact of digital transformation on the market value of Magazine Luiza
Authors: Castellar Guilherme Batistella , Querido Mateus Ferreira Rumbelsperger , Meirelles Fernando De Souza
Published: December 2021

Objective of the study: This article aims to highlight the aspects that drove the implementation of digital transformation on Magazine Luiza and contribute to the development of the digital transformation theory.Relevance/originality: Information technology (IT) offers opportunities for businesses to automatize operations and change business strategies (Henderson Venkatraman, 1999), but it is still not clear for every business how to embrace technology (Drnevich Croson, 2013).Methodology/approach: Using a case study, we analyzed the main aspects of the digital transformation of the Brazilian retailer Luiza Magazine, which achieved a 43,000% increase in its share price between 2015 and 2020, mainly due to innovations enabled by IT.Main results: We identify that some of the main aspects of the company's digital transformation have not been properly studied in the literature, such as the use of a bimodal IT structure and the use and interconnectivity between traditional and new technologies in innovative and even disruptive ways.Theoretical/methodological contributions: This study contributes to the literature by analyzing empirical data on the pillars that support the implementation of digital transformation in an organization, which can be used as input to theory development on digital transformation.Social/management contributions: The digital transformation of Magazine Luiza resulted in a large increase in the market value of the company. This, aligned with the company’s expansion and increasingly better results, suggests that technology has the potential to change the company’s strategy and lead to its success, corroborating Bharadwaj’s (2013) view.
LEGAL BASIS FOR TEMPORARY EMPLOYMENT
Authors: Florek Ludwik
Published: December 2021

Temporary employment is based on a modified employment relationship. Its essence is to recognize the entity using the employee’s work as the employer user. This allows him to be relieved of some of the duties of the employer who takes over the temporary employment agency. This makes it easier for employers to hire an employee in the short term. This also creates additional jobs. On the other hand, this entails the development of a legal basis for such employment. There may also be doubts as to who is in charge of certain obligations of the employer.
SOME REMARKS ON FULFILMENT OF EMPLOYEE DUTIES AT EMPLOYEE’S HOME
Authors: Mitrus Leszek
Published: December 2021

The elaboration is dedicated to the problem of work performance at employee’s home. Author emphasizes that in industrial society work was in principle performed at employer’s premises. However, to a limited extent some employees could fulfil at least part of their duties at home. The technological development created broader opportunities to perform work in another location than work establishment. We should indicate telework, regulated in 2007, as well as remote work, introduced in 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic by anti-crisis shield. Author argues that it would be appropriate to regulate remote work on permanent basis in the Labour Code. The essence of remote work amounts to work performance at home, i.e. in private sphere of an employee. In Author’s opinion, from theoretical point of view, work at the establishment and work at home may become equivalent options of an employment relationship
REMOTE WORKING AND WORK-LIFE BALANCE – THE REGULATIONS OF POLISH LABOUR CODE
Authors: Ludera-Ruszel Agata
Published: December 2021

Work-life balance is one of the key aspects of rempote working which deserves our attentions. The current regulations of the Labour Code does not make any explicit reference to work-life balance idea. However, in the legislative changes during the last two decades there is a trend away to take better account of the values that underpin this idea, such as privacy, family and equality in employment and on the albour market. As if follows from the above considerations, in the regulations of Labour Code more emphasis should be put on the protection of employee working remotely against the clash between the professional and private spheres of employee’s life. This is the case for the rules for the use of remote work oand certain flexible forms of work organisation, which should be more „equal” in nature. Secondly, this i salso true for regulations on working time. The current regulations, that indirectly implement the right to disconnect, do not reflect specific risks for work-life balance, relating to the common use of information and communication technologies in employment relations.

THE CONCEPT OF A TRADE UNION ORGANIZATION COVERING THE ENTIRE WORK ESTABLISHMENT
Authors: Hajn Zbigniew
Published: December 2021

The presented study concerns the concept of a “trade union organization covering the entire work establishment”. In this study an attempt was made to answer the question whether the term means that the trade union organization must actually conduct activity in each unit of the work establishment in the objective sense, or it is sufficient when, in accordance with the statute or other union resolution defining the subjective scope of its activities, the trade union activity covers the workplace as a whole. The research is based on a dogmatic and legal analysis of Polish law as well as on case-law and legal writing. As a result of the considerations, the Author comes to the conclusion that the status of a work establishment trade union organization is determined by specifying the subjective scope of its activity in its statute or other union resolution. Fears that such a solution to the problem enables the dictatorship of a minority in the workplace can be neutralized by making union rights conditional on the representativeness of a trade union organization also where there is only one such organization in the workplace

Influence of silver-containing filler on antibacterial properties of experimental resin composites against Enterococcus faecalis
Authors: Adeeb Sanadra , Adeeb Saja , Chladek G. , Pakieła W. , Mertas A.
Published: December 2021

Purpose: The aim of the presented work was to investigate the impact of the S-P introduction into resin-based composites on their effectiveness against Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis).
Design/methodology/approach: Seven experimental composites based on typical matrix were developed. Six of them contained a filler with antimicrobial properties (silver sodium hydrogen zirconium phosphate, S-P), while the control material contained only common reinforcement fillers. The materials were characterized in terms of the dispersion of the extender in the matrix and then subjected to microbiological tests. The efficiency in the reduction of E. faecalis in the microenvironment was tested.
Findings: The composites show a satisfactory distribution of fillers and a high initial reduction of bacteria colonies for the tested strain of E. faecalis. The reduction in bacteria colonies achieved for S-P concentrations from 7% to 13% was similar (median value from 99.8 to 99.9%, when for control material and compound with 1% S-P the number of colonies increased compared to positive control.
Research limitations/implications: Laboratory test results may differ from in vivo test performance. In addition, there are many models for conducting laboratory antimicrobial efficacy studies, the results of which are also varied. The cytotoxic tests, long-term investigations and in vivo experiments need to be performed in future experiments.
Practical implications: E. faecalis is a Gram-positive bacterium that is commonly detected in persistent endodontic infections and may enter the root canal through the coronal part. Development of composites with antimicrobial properties against this bacterium is as important as obtaining efficacy against cariogenic bacteria.
Originality/value: The antimicrobial effectiveness against E. faecalis of experimental composites with submicrometer-sized particles of S-P was not investigated until now.

Gender equality laws have existed in public administration in Germany since 1998. These laws specify the constitutional requirement of gender equality on the basis of article 3(2) of the German Constitution. Considering the background of present discussions in Germany concerning inclusion and diversity in public administration, this article analyses possibilities to address intersectional discrimination, including racial discrimination and discrimination based on different socio-economic backgrounds. Therefore, the following critical analysis focuses on possible intersectional approaches in German gender equality laws. The article presents the primary existing constitutional provisions and simple legal rulings, while also taking a ‘de lege ferenda’ perspective. To this end, the article suggests concrete wording for new legislation and for the amendment of existing laws.

Giriş: Kondiloma Akuminata (KA), Human Papiloma Virüs’ün (HPV) yol açtığı, cinsel yolla bulaşan, yaygın bir viral hastalıktır. Kondiloma Akuminata’nın tedavisi için çeşitli yöntemler olmakla birlikte, bunların hiçbiri %100 yanıt oranına ulaşamaz. Bu çalışmada daha iyi yanıt oranı ve rekürrensin engellenmesi için, ablatif sıvı azot kriyoterapisi ile elektrokoter ile cerrahi eksizyonun birlikte kullanımının etkinliği ve nüks oranları değerlendirilmeye çalışıldı.

Amaç: Kondiloma Akuminata tedavisinde kriyoterapi ile birlikte cerrahinin sinerjistik etkisini değerlendirmek.

Yöntemler: Bu retrospektif çalışmada, Kondiloma Akuminata (lokalize veya yayılmış) tanısı ile dermatoloji kliniğine başvurmuş perianal lezyonları olan ve lezyonları perianal bölge ile birlikte anal dentata kadar uzanan hastalar değerlendirildi. Kriyoterapi ile tedavi edilen küçük lezyonların yanısıra büyüklüğü 4 cm’den büyük olan hastalarda cerrahi olarak eksizyonel yöntemler kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 57 hastanın 33’ü kadın, 24’ü erkekti. Ortalama yaş 27,2 olarak saptandı. Hastaların 51’i tedaviye devam etti. Tüm hastalara kriyoterapi başlandı, 14 hastada ek olarak topikal imiquimod başlandı, 10 hastada lezyonlar anal dentata kadar uzanım gösterdiğinden ve boyutları 4 cm’nin üzerinde olduğu için, cerrahi olarak elektrokoterizasyon uygulandı. Kriyoterapi yapılan hastalarda nüks %24,3 iken, hem kriyoterapi yapılan, hem de imiquimod kullanılan hastalarda bu oran %21,4 idi. Cerrahi uygulanan hastaların beşinde 3. ayda rekürrens gelişti ve bu hastalar tekrar cerrahi tedaviye alındılar. Takiplerinde bir hastada nüks saptandı. Uygulanan tedavilerde ciddi bir komplikasyon gelişmedi.

Sonuç: Yaptığımız çalışma sonucunda anatomik lokalizasyon ve lezyonun büyüklüğünün KA’nın tedavisinde belirleyici olduğu ve kriyoterapiye ek olarak yapılan cerrahinin nüks oranlarını azalttığı tespit edildi.

Amaç: Epilepsi, günümüzde milyonlarca kişiyi etkileyen elektrokimyasal bir beyin fonksiyonu bozukluğudur. Epilepsi hastalığı, yapılan çalışmalarla kadın ve erkeklerde yüksek üreme bozukluğu prevalansı ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Uzun süre tedavi gerektiren bu hastalık için sıklıkla reçete edilen bir antiepileptik ilaç olan valproik asitin, ovaryumda ergenlik öncesinden yetişkinliğe kadar apoptotik etkilere ve folikülogenez bozukluğuna neden olarak üremeyi olumsuz etkilediği bilinmektedir. Çalışmamızın amacı valproik asit (VPA) uygulanan sıçanlarda embriyo implantasyonunda siklooksijenaz-2 (COX-2) ve vasoaktif intestinal peptid (VIP) moleküllerinin implantasyon döneminde dağılımının araştırılmasıdır.

Yöntemler: 20 adet dişi sıçan iki gruba randomize olarak bölünerek, 1. Grup Kontrol, 2. Grup VPA Grubu olarak belirlendi. 1. Gruba; 90 gün boyunca salin solusyonu intraperitoneal olarak iki doz şeklinde uygulandı. 2. Gruba ise 90 gün boyunca 300 mg/kg/gün VPA intraperitoneal olarak iki doz şeklinde uygulandı. Denekler kontrollü olarak erkek sıçanlarla çiftleştirildi; çiftleşme günü 0. Gün kabul edildi ve 7. Günde denekler yüksek doz anestezi altında feda edilerek uterus implantasyon bölgesi dokuları çıkartıldı. Dokulara, immünohistokimyasal değerlendirme yapılarak bulgular istatistiksel verilerle karşılaştırıldı.

Bulgular: Çalışmamızda, COX-2 primer antikoru ile yapılan immünohistokimyasal işaretlemede 7. Gün kontrol grubuna ait kesitlerde, desidua, embriyonun trofoektodermi ve uterus bez epitelinde, kuvvetli bir immünreaksiyon izlenirken; 7. Gün VPA grubuna ait kesitlerde COX-2 antikoru ile yapılan işaretlemesinde ise, immünreaksiyonun aynı bölgelerde zayıf tutulumda olduğu izlendi. VIP primer antikoru ile yapılan immünohistokimyasal işaretlemede 7. Gün kontrol grubuna ait kesitlerde, desiduada zayıftan ortaya değişen kuvvette immünreaksiyon gözlemlenirken, embriyonun trofoektoderminde orta kuvvette, uterus bez epitelinde ise zayıf – orta kuvvette immünreaksiyon ayırt edildi. 7. Gün VPA grubuna ait kesitlerin VIP antikoru ile yapılan işaretlemesinde ise, desiduada, embriyonun trofoektodermi ve uterus bez epitelinde negatiften zayıfa değişen immünreaksiyon gözlemlendi.

Sonuç: Çalışmamızda yaptığımız immünohistokimyasal değerlendirme ve destekleyici istatistiksel veriler ışığında; VPA ’nın uzun süre kullanımının gebelik sürecinde COX-2 ve VIP ’nin ifadelenmesini azalttığı; bu azalmanın da embriyo implantasyonunu ve dolayısıyla gebeliğin ilerlemesini olumsuz yönde etkileyerek risk oluşturabileceği kanısına varılmıştır.

ile sonuçlanabilen klinik bir durumdur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, hipoksik iskemik ensefalopatide kardiyak biyomarkerlerden N-Terminal pro Brain Natriüretik Peptid (NTproBNP) ve Troponin I’nın rolünü değerlendirmektir.

Yöntemler: Bu çalışmada, Ocak 2019 ve Mayıs 2021 tarihleri arasında Yenidoğan Yoğun Bakım Ünitesinde HİE tanısı ile takip ve tedavileri yapılmış olan hastaların Troponin I ve NTproBNP düzeyleri geriye dönük olarak incelendi.

Bulgular: Bu çalışma %44,5 (45)’i kız ve %55.5(56)’sı erkek olmak üzere 101 olgudan oluştu. Normal spontan vajinal yol ile doğum oranı %57,8 (63) iken Sezaryenle doğum oranı %42,2 (46) idi. Olgularda HİE evre 1 oranı %31.7 (32), HİE evre2 oranı %31,7 (32) ve HİE evre 3 oranı%36,6 (37) olarak bulundu. Ortalama doğum ağırlığı 3139.95±499.02 g, ortalama gestasyon haftası 38.39±1.69 hafta bulundu. NTproBNP; ortalama 10099.49±12023.03 pg/mL ve Troponin I; 122.575±188.5287 ng/L bulundu. Hipoksik iskemik ensefalopatinin şiddetinin artması ile Troponin I arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunurken, NTproBNP ile HİE’nin şiddeti arasında herhangi bir farklılık bulunmadı.

Sonuç: Yenidoğan HİE’li bebeklerde NTproBNP ve Troponin I düzeylerinde artış vardır. Ayrıca, Troponin I düzeyleri ile yenidoğan hipoksik iskemik ensefalopati şiddeti arasında anlamlı ilişki olduğu bulundu.
