Authors: Sapakova S. Z. , Kambarova B.
Published: December 2024

This study explores the influence of Russian words on the development of the Kazakh language in social networks. The rapid advancement of information technology significantly impacts the language used in online communications. While the chaotic nature of online interactions can complicate language use and create confusion, it also accelerates the spread of information in Kazakh. This research examines how foreign words affect modern Kazakh internet discourse, including direct borrowings that enter the language without modification, mixedphrases that retain the lexical and semantic properties of foreign words, the emergence of new abbreviations, and the influence of barbarisms. The study utilizes machine learning methods to analyse social media content from Instagram and Facebook. This approach enabled the processing of over 100,000 posts, revealing key linguistic shifts associated with the integration of Russian borrowings into Kazakh. The use of machine learning algorithms, such as the Naive Bayes classifier, automated the data analysis process and uncovered hidden patterns, providing a deeper understanding of how these borrowings affect the Kazakh language in the digital environment.

Published: December 2024

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can differentiate into more than one type of specialist cells in our body. They are a potential source of progenitor cells for osteoblasts, chondroblasts, adipocytes, skeletal muscles, and cardiomyocytes. They may also differentiate into ecto- and endodermal cell lines, e.g., neural cells, glial cells, hepatocytes and karetinocytes. Mesenchymal cells represent only 0.001–0.01% of all bone marrow cells, are a crucial population of cells participating in the proliferative phase of damage regeneration, and they are present in nearly all body tissues, the largest number of them is in adipose tissue and blood. Properties of MSCs have formed foundations for a new interdisciplinary field, tissue engineering. Its extensive applications include aesthetic medicine, dermatology, orthopaedics, plastic surgery, physioaesthetics, and sports medicine. The aim of this study is to present selected properties of the mesenchymal stem cells exposed to an electric stimulus of frequency of 448 kHz using Capacitive-Resistive Electric Transfer (CRET) technology

Authors: Machado Julia Kerr Catunda , Gali Angelica Ferreira
Published: December 2024

Introduction: Pregnant women and newborns were characterized as a risk group during the SARS-CoV-2 virus pandemic. Vertical transmission from mother to newborn still seems unlikely, and there is a gap in the literature on the subject. Objectives: To identify the diagnoses of newborns born to mothers who were infected with SARS-COV-2 at the time of delivery, admitted to a Joint Accommodation or Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in a hospital in the interior of the state of São Paulo. Methodology: The research was carried out in a tertiary hospital in the interior of the state of São Paulo, through a cross-sectional study through the documentary analysis of medical records of newborns with 0 days of life until their discharge, admitted to the Joint Lodging and Neonatal ICU, whose mothers were positive with COVID-19 at delivery, from December 31, 2019 to September 30, 2022. Results: A total of 112 newborns of mothers diagnosed with COVID-19 were identified. Of these, 100 were housed together after birth, while 12 were transferred to the NICU. The average length of stay was 8 days in the NICU and a further 4 days in the rooming-in unit, totaling 12 days. All the newborns were breastfed and showed signs of respiratory distress, most of them mild. Only one required invasive mechanical ventilation, six non-invasive mechanical ventilation, and all received oxygen. Most had no radiological alterations and all tested negative in the RT-PCR test. As for laboratory tests, the scores varied, with half of the newborns born by normal delivery and only 3 of the 12 considered premature. Conclusion: The presence of COVID-19 in mothers did not cause substantial additional impacts on newborns, and none of the newborns tested were diagnosed positive for the disease, indicating no vertical transmission. Further studies are essential to gain a comprehensive understanding of the profile of this population group, including more in-depth investigations into the possible routes of contamination of newborns, preferably using a larger sample.

INSTITUSIONALISASI NILAI-NILAI SUFISTIK DI PONDOK PESANTREN BANJARBARU
Authors: Ihromi Ihda
Published: December 2024

Research on pesantren (Islamic boarding schools) demonstrates the advantages of pesantren as a subculture that represents Sufi values. Among the Sufi values in pesantren are repentance (taubat), piety (wara'), asceticism (zuhud), poverty (faqr), patience (sabar), trust in God (tawakkal), love (mahabbah), knowledge (makrifah), and contentment (ridha). These values are socially constructed through various institutionalized practices. Therefore, the author aims to explore how these Sufi values are institutionalized in the pesantren of Banjarbaru. The author employs a social constructionist approach as the research method, with a descriptive qualitative research design. Data are collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, with data reduction, data display, and data verification techniques for data analysis.
The findings of the study are as follows: 1) The institutionalization of Sufi values includes internalization, externalization, and objectivation simultaneously. In the internalization process, there is typification, habitualization, socialization, and indoctrination in the pesantren regarding Sufi values, both as values and as practices of the Sufi path (tarekat), through the pesantren curriculum based on the books Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din, Siraj al-Thalibin, and Kifayah al-Atqiya’, as well as through spiritual practices such as mujahadah, collective dhikr, fasting, bai'at (pledge of allegiance), and khalwat (spiritual retreat). In the externalization process, the Sufi values are expressed as ideologies and positive traditions with various adaptations. Objectivation shows the authority of the mursyid (spiritual guide), consistency in the implementation of sharia, rules, and suluk (spiritual conduct). 2) The Sufi values institutionalized in the pesantren include repentance (taubat) as abandoning sins and mistakes; piety (wara') as discipline and selectivity; asceticism (zuhud) as humility and simplicity; poverty (faqr) as independence and responsibility; patience (sabar) as perseverance and personal integrity; trust in God (tawakkal), love (mahabbah), knowledge (makrifah), and contentment (ridha) as obedience and gratitude. 3) The institutionalization of Sufi values in the pesantren contributes significantly to the strengthening of character and moral development.

Published: December 2024

Yabancı unsurlu bireysel iş sözleşmelerine uygulanacak hukuk sözleşmenin tarafları nedeniyle MÖHUK 24. madde’den ayrı olarak MÖHUK 27. madde ile özel olarak düzenlenmiştir. Kanun koyucu zayıf konumda olan işçinin işverenin yönlendirmesi ile aleyhe bir hukuk seçimi yapmasını engellemek istemiştir. Madde hükmüne göre çıkan uyuşmazlıkta her ne kadar taraflar başka bir hukuk seçseler de kanun koyucu işçiyi, işçinin mutad işyeri hukukunun sağladığı asgari korumadan mahrum bırakmamaktadır. Hukuk seçiminin yapılmadığı durumlarda ise ilgili maddenin ikinci fıkrası gereğince objektif bağlama kuralı uygulanacaktır.

Letter to the Editor: The use of quadro-iliac plane block for postoperative pain management in laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Authors: Satıcı Muhammed Halit
Published: December 2024

The quadro-iliac plane block (QIPB), recently described by Tulgar et al., represents a novel fascial plane block targeting the quadro-iliac plane, located between the inner iliac crest and the posterior surface of the quadratus lumborum (QL) muscle. In their anatomical study, 40 mL of methylene blue injected bilaterally into the quadro-iliac plane exhibited extensive spread, covering the posterior and anterior surfaces of the QL muscle, transversalis fascia, ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, subcostal, and genitofemoral nerves, as well as the lumbar plexus. These findings suggest that QIPB may be beneficial for managing acute or chronic pain in the lumbosacral, abdominal, and hip regions. While limited case reports have demonstrated its potential in lumbar spine surgery, proximal femur surgery, and renal transplantation clinical applications remain underexplored.

Jenis tanah Latosol mempunyai kandungan bahan organik dan unsur makro N, P, K yang rendah sehingga menyebabkan penurunan produksi jagung. Penambahan bahan organik dan penerapan sistem pengolahan tanah diperlukan untuk memperbaiki sifat fisik, kimia dan biologi tanah. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh kombinasi perlakuan bahan organik dan sistem pengolahan tanah terhadap produksi jagung pada tanah latosol. Penelitian ini berada di Desa Patemon, Kecamatan Pakem, Kabupaten Bondowoso. Penelitian dirancang menggunakan metode RAKF yang terdiri dari 2 faktor. Faktor pertama adalah pengolahan tanah yang terdiri dari pengolahan tanah minimal 20 cm; pengolahan tanah minimal 30 cm; dan budidaya tanah yang sempurna. Faktor kedua adalah jenis bahan organik yang tidak mengandung bahan organik; kompos batang pisang; dan kompos jerami. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan perlakuan kompos jerami organik memberikan pengaruh berbeda nyata terhadap tinggi tanaman (221,02 cm), diameter batang (2,82 cm), berat tongkol (456,16 g), berat tongkol tanpa sekam (363,23 g). , berat cangkang kering (247,88 g), dan berat 100 biji (46,96 g). Hal ini dikarenakan bahan organik kompos jerami padi mampu meningkatkan C organik tanah sehingga kemampuannya dalam mengikat unsur hara sangat besar dan berpengaruh langsung terhadap ketersediaan unsur hara pada daerah perakaran.
RESULTS OF USING THE MAGGIC HEART FAILURE RISK SCORE AND GALECTIN-3 LEVELS IN ASSESSING MORTALITY RISK IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE AND RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
Authors: Ankudinov Andrey S.
Published: December 2024

Background. Chronic autoimmune inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis has a negative impact on the progression of atherosclerosis, morphofunctional parameters of the myocardium, blood pressure, and the risk of mortality in such patients.
The aim of the study. To perform a comparative analysis of the MAGGIC (Meta-Analysis Global Group in Chronic Heart Failure) score coefficients and galectin-3 levels in patients with chronic heart failure with and without rheumatoid arthritis.
Materials and methods. We examined 216 patients with heart failure. Two comparable groups were identified: the study group consisted of 100 patients with chronic heart failure and rheumatoid arthritis, the comparison group – of 116 patients with chronic heart failure without rheumatoid arthritis. The analysis of key laboratory and instrumental data and galectin-3 levels was performed. A regression analysis of the associations between the concentration of galectin-3 and the parameters determined using the MAGGIC heart failure risk score was carried out.
Results. The study showed significant statistical differences in the level of galectin-3: in the group of patients with rheumatoid arthritis – 17.4 ± 4.2 ng/ml, in patients without rheumatoid arthritis – 14.3 ± 3.1 ng/ml (p = 0.005).
The average MAGGIG heart failure risk score in the group of patients with chronic heart failure and rheumatoid arthri-tis was 14 ± 2.1, without rheumatoid arthritis – 12 ± 1.4 (p = 0.01). The risk of mortality during the first year was 7.0 and 4.8 % (p = 0.02), within 3 years – 17.5 and 12.2 % (p = 0.04), respectively. Using regression analysis of interrela-tions of galectin-3 levels with mortality risk identified using the MAGGIC score, a statistically significant association was found (β = –0.04; SD = 10 ± 2.5; r = 0.46; r2 = 0.37; p = 0.002).
Conclusion. Patients with chronic heart failure and rheumatoid arthritis have higher levels of galectin-3 in their blood compared to people without rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, they have an increased risk of death according to the MAGGIC score. A statistically significant association of galectin-3 with the parameters of the MAGGIC heart failure risk score has been revealed.

Background: Recently, one of the problems in developing countries is pregnant women who insist on cesarean section for fear of painful vaginal delivery. There are various methods to reduce labor pain, including medical and non-medical methods. Neuraxial analgesia is classified as one of the best ways to reduce labor pain. Epidural analgesia is a classic and popular procedure to decrease labor pain. Nevertheless, other methods, such as spinal or combined spinal-epidural analgesia, is more effective compared with the epidural. Objectives: In this study, we investigated a single intrathecal versus epidural injection in pregnant women during childbirth. Methods: In our research, after obtaining informed consent, the patients were randomly assigned to two equal groups: epidural and spinal. Each group contained 50 parturient women in advanced labor. In the epidural group, 2.5 mL isobaric bupivacaine 0.5%, sufentanil (0.2 mcg/mL), and 7 mL saline 0.9% were injected by an 18-gauge Tuohy needle at the L4-5 or L5-S1 intervertebral space, and in the spinal group, 0.5 mL isobaric bupivacaine 0.5%, 2.5 mcg sufentanil, and 0.5 mL saline 0.9% were injected by a 25-gauge pencil-point Quincke needle at the L4-5 or L5-S1 intervertebral spaces. For pain intensity, the visual analog scale (VAS) was used at serial intervals, and other variables, such as the onset and duration of analgesia, hypotension, neonatal APGAR score, fetal heart rate (FHR) changes, and other variables were examined. Results: The mean time to onset analgesic effect was 4.6 min in the spinal group compared with 12.5 minutes in the epidural (P < 0.001). Duration of analgesia was 121 minutes in the spinal group compared with 104 min in the epidural group (P < 0.001). The time to reach the maximum block was 8.4 min in the spinal group vs. 22.2 min in the epidural group (P < 0.001). The duration of the second and third gestation stages was the same in both groups. Conclusions: Spinal analgesia is short and easy to perform and does not require advanced equipment and technical experience. Spinal analgesia can be a good option for labor analgesia and leads to achieving a lower pain score than epidural analgesia.
