Crisis civilizatoria capitalista y “otras economías”
Authors: Curiazi Roberta , Cajas Guijarro John
Published: December 2019

El presente artículo brinda algunas reflexiones en dos ámbitos. Primeramente, se discute en qué consiste la crisis civilizatoria del capitalismo planteando tanto la dimensión económica de las crisis y sus principales detonantes, como la dimensión ambiental y la dimensión de las múltiples violencias – tanto implícitas como explícitas – asociadas a la expansión capitalista. Luego de brindar una visión global de la crisis civilizatoria capitalista, el artículo explora algunas posibles alternativas que ayuden a la construcción de “otras economías”, dando particular énfasis a las propuestas que llegan de la economía social y solidaria, economía de la comunidad y de la economía civil. Como ejemplos concretos de organización económica alternativa – y alentadora –, que ha logrado sostenerse en medio del desarrollo capitalista, se presentan algunos detalles sobre el avance del movimiento cooperativo. Dichas experiencias reflejan una de las tantas reorganizaciones – y revoluciones – que son urgentes para evitar que la expansión capitalista, y la creciente mercantilización de la vida que ésta causa, terminen llevándonos a una verdadera distopia.
De la marginalidad hacia el autogobierno y la búsqueda de opciones de existencia social alternativas al capitalismo
Authors: Romero Reyes Antonio
Published: December 2019

Luego de presentar las motivaciones, inquietudes y/o preguntas que dieron lugar al presente trabajo, se comienza pasando revista a los precedentes de la “marginalidad” en la historia del capitalismo decimonónico. Los dos siguientes apartados son teóricos y descansan en la lectura de El capital de Marx; también permiten apreciar la relación entre el pensamiento de Quijano con el pensador alemán. El cuarto apartado desarrolla un debate con algunos exponentes del pensamiento crítico latinoamericano, especialmente con Rita Segato, en torno a la “marginalidad” y la tendencia a “marginalizar” a Marx, so pretexto de toda crítica que se le hace al “marxismo”. Los dos apartados que siguen son de mucha relevancia para los propósitos de este trabajo, ya que se rescata y revaloriza la categoría de marginalidad (sin comillas), revisitada por Quijano, poniéndola en conexión con otras categorías claves en la maduración de su pensamiento, como son el polo marginal y la heterogeneidad estructural. Finalmente, en el último apartado, se reconstruyen las mediaciones categoriales sin las cuales no habría sido posible llegar, desde la praxis, al redescubrimiento de la Comunidad.

Published: December 2019

This study focuses on the problem of the extent to which human rights and islamicity (Islamic law norms) are accommodated within Indonesian anti-terrorism law (Law No. 5 of 2018). The study uses a qualitative approach with a documentary study in data collection. The result shows that Law No. 5 of 2018 has threatened human rights in some issues. This is indicated by certain matters including arrest, detention, capital punishment, interception, and revocation of citizenship. Meanwhile, the islamicity of Law No. 5 of 2018 is open to interpretation and reinterpretation. The study of measuring human rights and islamicity of Law No. 5 of 2018 has a significant contribution to the substantive implementation of  Islamic criminal law in the context of Indonesianness, as well as modernity, which also means the implementation of Islamic law and human rights at once.

Published: December 2019

OBJECTIVES:

The tuberculin skin test (TST) has been preferred for screening young children for latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) because of concerns that interferon-γ release assays (IGRAs) may be less sensitive in this high-risk population. In this study, we compared the predictive value of IGRAs to the TST for progression to tuberculosis disease in children, including those <5 years old.

METHODS:

Children <15 years old at risk for LTBI or progression to disease were tested with TST, QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-GIT), and T-SPOT.TB test (T-SPOT) and followed actively for 2 years, then with registry matches, to identify incident disease.

RESULTS:

Of 3593 children enrolled September 2012 to April 2016, 92% were born outside the United States; 25% were <5 years old. Four children developed tuberculosis over a median 4.3 years of follow-up. Sensitivities for progression to disease for TST and IGRAs were low (50%–75%), with wide confidence intervals (CIs). Specificities for TST, QFT-GIT, and T-SPOT were 73.4% (95% CI: 71.9–74.8), 90.1% (95% CI: 89.1–91.1), and 92.9% (95% CI: 92.0–93.7), respectively. Positive and negative predictive values for TST, QFT-GIT, and T-SPOT were 0.2 (95% CI: 0.1–0.8), 0.9 (95% CI: 0.3–2.5), and 0.8 (95% CI: 0.2–2.9) and 99.9 (95% CI: 99.7–100), 100 (95% CI: 99.8–100), and 99.9 (95% CI: 99.8–100), respectively. Of 533 children with TST-positive, IGRA-negative results not treated for LTBI, including 54 children <2 years old, none developed disease.

CONCLUSIONS:

Although both types of tests poorly predict disease progression, IGRAs are no less predictive than the TST and offer high specificity and negative predictive values. Results from this study support the use of IGRAs for children, especially those who are not born in the United States.
Spiritual experiences are related to engagement of a ventral frontotemporal functional brain network: Implications for prevention and treatment of behavioral and substance addictions
Authors: McClintock Clayton H. , Worhunsky Patrick D. , Xu Jiansong , Balodis Iris M. , Sinha Rajita , Miller Lisa , Potenza Marc N.
Published: December 2019

Background and aims

Spirituality is an important component of 12-step programs for behavioral and substance addictions and has been linked to recovery processes. Understanding the neural correlates of spiritual experiences may help to promote efforts to enhance recovery processes in behavioral addictions. We recently used general linear model (GLM) analyses of functional magnetic resonance imaging data to examine neural correlates of spiritual experiences, with findings implicating cortical and subcortical brain regions. Although informative, the GLM-based approach does not provide insight into brain circuits that may underlie spiritual experiences.

Methods

Spatial independent component analysis (sICA) was used to identify functional brain networks specifically linked to spiritual (vs. stressful or neutral-relaxing) conditions using a previously validated guided imagery task in 27 young adults.

Results

Using sICA, engagement of a ventral frontotemporal network was identified that was engaged at the onset and conclusion of the spiritual condition in a manner distinct from engagement during the stress or neutral-relaxing conditions. Degree of engagement correlated with subjective reports of spirituality in the scanner (r = .71,p < .001) and an out-of-the-magnet measure of spirituality (r = .48,p < .018).

Discussion and conclusion

The current findings suggest a distributed functional neural network associated with spiritual experiences and provide a foundation for investigating brain mechanisms underlying the role of spirituality in recovery from behavioral addictions.

Disasters in Japan: LIASE-Funded On-site Experiential Learning Courses Exploring the Science, Social Impact, and Culture of Disaster
Authors: Bates Alex
Published: December 2019

This article describes two interdisciplinary summer experiential learning courses focused on disasters in Japan, both partially funded through LIASE (Luce Initiative on Asian Studies and the Environment). The first course was titled “Seismic Japan” and was centered on earthquakes through Japan’s history culminating in the 2011 disaster. The second, “Meltdowns and Waves,” was a comparative look at the Three-Mile Island meltdown incident, the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster, Hurricane Sandy, and the 2011 tsunami. Both courses provided a unique interdisciplinary learning experience for our students, one that explored the science behind earthquakes, tsunamis, and nuclear accidents as well as the impacts of these disasters on Japanese society and culture.

Published: December 2019

Este artículo ha sido elaborado a partir de dos estudios empíricos realizados en el sistema educativo portugués durante el año escolar 2017-2018. El objetivo es comprender y discutir las concepciones y percepciones de los docentes acerca de la inclusión. Para ello, se desarrollaron dos estudios, uno en la educación preescolar y otro en el primer ciclo de la enseñanza básica. Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa basada en una recogida de datos a partir de guiones de entrevista semiestructurada. Fueron entrevistados 9 educadores de infancia y 14 profesores del primer ciclo. Los datos muestran que los participantes tienen concepciones apropiadas acerca de la inclusión, pero también revelan dificultades para implementar en sus rutinas pedagógicas, metodologías y estrategias que valoren la inclusión y la pedagogía diferenciada.

Planlı Kalkınma Dönemindeki Milli Eğitim Şûra Kararlarının Kalkınma Planlarındaki Eğitime İlişkin Hedefler Çerçevesinde Değerlendirilmesi
Authors: ÇORUK Adil
Published: December 2019

Türkiye’de 1933 yılından itibaren Milli Eğitim Bakanlığı’nın en yüksek
danışma organı olarak Milli Eğitim Şûraları gerçekleştirilmektedir. Şuraların
dayanağı “2287 sayılı Maarif Teşkilatı Hakkında Kanun” ile ortaya konulmuştur
ve ilk Milli Eğitim Şûra’sı da 1939 yılında toplanmıştır. 1960 yılından
itibaren ise planlı kalkınma dönemi başlamış ve bu doğrultuda kalkınma planları
hazırlanmıştır. 1963 yılından 2013 yılına kadar da 10 tane kalkınma planı
gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu araştırmanın amacı planlı kalkınma döneminde yapılan
Milli Eğitim Şûraları’nda alınan kararlar ile kalkınma planlarında eğitimle
ilgili alınan kararları birlikte değerlendirmektir. Çalışma, nitel araştırma
yöntemlerinden doküman analizi yöntemi ile yapılmış ve verileri analizi için
betimsel analiz tekniği kullanılmıştır. Bu bağlamda araştırmanın verilerini
oluşturan Kalkınma Planları ve Milli Eğitim Şûralarına ilişkin dokümanlar
öncelikle betimlenmiş, sonra yorumlanarak elde edilen sonuçlara dayalı varsayımlarda
bulunulmuştur. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre Türk eğitim sistemine yön vermesi
beklenen kalkınma planlarında ve milli eğitim şûralarında her zaman birbiriyle
tutarlı kararlar alınmadığı görülmektedir. Milli Eğitim Şûralarının kalkınma
planlarındaki hedefler çerçevesinde ele alınması eğitimle ilgili politikaların
geliştirilmesi açısından önemlidir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında eğitim
politikalarının geliştirilmesine yönelik bu tarz çalışmaların bütüncül bir
bakış açısıyla ele alınması ve aralarında eşgüdümün sağlanması gerekmektedir.
Şûralarda ve kalkınma planlarında alınan kararların uygulamaya konulup
konulmadığının denetlenmesi de eğitimle ilgili politikaların uygulanması
sürecini daha işler hale getirecektir.

As joint ventures constituem um modelo de contratação realizada tanto em esfera nacional quanto internacional, pelas quais distintas pessoas jurídicas mutuamente esforçam-se em para erigir um empreendimento de cunho comum. Especificamente no que se refere ao setor sucroenergetico, estas empresas visam entrar em um mercado notadamente complexo, porém com elevado potencial de crescimento, ante a substituição das matrizes fosseis de energia em esfera mundial. Esse tipo de aliança comercial trás profissionalização da gestão, eficiência dos processos produtivos, ampliação de mercados consumidores e desenvolvimento de novas tecnologias. Logo, o objetivo do presente artigo é verificar se as joint ventures também trazem ganhos socioambientais as empresas envolvidas. Nesse sentido, o método utilizado foi a revisão da literatura para a elaboração de um estudo exploratório nessa temática. Pode se constatar que uma maior eficiência nos processos produtivos, com o objetivo de racionalização de custos e aumento dos ganhos econômicos a utilização de resíduos como bagaço, palha e vinhaça tornou-se fundamental, na medida em que esses resíduos trazem ganhos econômicos com a geração de calor, eletricidade, irrigação e fertilização das culturas de cana de açúcar. Portanto, as joint ventures, com maior racionalização da gestão e dos processos produtivos, observa-se ganhos socioambientais que trazem para essas organizações agregação do valor a marca, acesso a novos mercados consumidores e ganhos financeiros decorrentes da reutilização dos subprodutos.

Ocorrência e alimentação de duas espécies de Serrasalmus (Pisces: Characiformes) na RPPN Cisalpina, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil
Authors: Oliveira Kezia Bianca Nobrega de , Vilela Maria José Alencar
Published: December 2019

As piranhas do gênero Serrasalmus são carnívoras e predadoras e vivem preferencialmente em ambiente lênticos ou semilênticos, como lagoas e remansos de rios. Este estudo foi desenvolvido na área da RPPN Cisalpina, uma unidade de conservação da Companhia Energética de São Paulo situada na bacia do alto Paraná, durante 2017 e 2018. Investigamos a ocorrência, a composição em tamanho e a dieta de duas espécies de piranhas, Serrasalmus maculatus e Serrasalmus marginatus. Os exemplares foram capturados com rede de emalhe, medidos, pesados e analisados quanto ao sexo. A dieta foi avaliada através dos métodos gravimétrico, volumétrico e de frequência de ocorrência, estimando-se o Índice de Importância Relativa de cada item identificado. As duas espécies foram capturadas apenas em lagoas, com maior abundância de S. marginatus, espécie não nativa do alto Paraná. Nas duas espécies o item predominante foi peixes, seguido por matéria de origem vegetal, o que está de acordo com resultados de outros estudos. Também registramos insetos e crustáceos, além de mexilhão-dourado, Limnoperna fortunei, este exclusivamente em estômagos de S. marginatus. A manutenção do monitoramento da ictiofauna da RPPN Cisalpina poderá fornecer mais informações sobre a coexistência dessas duas populações de peixes.

Análise e seleção genética de populações de ovinos das raças Santa Inês e Morada Nova
Authors: Colusse Juliana Caroline , Fonseca Ricardo da , Tomaz Rafael Simões
Published: December 2019

Objetivou-se nesse trabalho avaliar as características fenotípicas e genotípicas de populações de ovinos da raça Santa Inês e Morada Nova, com a finalidade de estimar valores genéticos diretos e indiretos e selecionar indivíduos. Foram considerados dados de 429 animais provindos do Programa de Melhoramento Genético da raça Santa Inês, parceria entre a Associação Sergipana dos Criadores de Caprinos e Ovinos (ASCCO) e a Universidade de São Paulo (USP). A estimação dos parâmetros genéticos das características peso ao nascimento (PN), ganho de peso médio diário (GPMD) e peso ao desmame (PD) foi realizada por meio de modelos mistos, e a seleção, por meio das estimativas dos valores genéticos preditos. A seleção direta proporcionou ganhos genéticos a todas as características avaliadas e ainda à medida que a porcentagem de animais selecionados aumentou, o ganho com a seleção diminuiu. O contrário ocorreu na seleção indireta, no qual não foi observado ganho com o processo seletivo. A seleção genética intra-populacional mostrou-se viável para a melhoria das características avaliadas, visto que dentro de cada população existiam animais com maiores valores genéticos que puderam ser acasalados entre si buscando aumentar o ganho genético. Além da seleção intra-populacional, o ideal seria o cruzamento de ambas as raças visando a melhoria da raça Morada Nova por meio de heterose.

Substance use and antisocial behavior: criterion-related validity of the Antisocial Process Screening Device in Mexican adolescents
Authors: Mejía Diana , Morales-Chainé Silvia , García-Flores Raquel , Acosta-Quiroz Christian O.
Published: December 2019

Introduction. Adolescents who use drugs present several health problems, including criminal behavior. The Antisocial Process Screening Device (APSD) is a test that evaluates current conduct disorders in adolescents. Objective. This research carried out a cross-cultural adaptation of the APSD on Mexican population. Method. The original version of the APSD was translated into Mexican Spanish. The final version was administered to 1 070 adolescents (958 students, 72 with minor faults, and 40 with criminal behavior) who completed the APSD and the ENCODE, the National survey on drug use. We computed correlations and regression models between APSD and ENCODE. We carried out a multivariate analysis to compare samples and quantity of drugs. Finally, we fitted the two-and three-factor models of the APSD with a CFA. Results. The APSD scores correlated significantly with all of the ENCODE variables. In the multivariate analysis, the variable quantity of drugs was significant to rise the APSD score (F [3 847] = 7.53, p = .000). The CFA with three factors had the best fit. Reliability analysis suggests acceptable internal consistency (α = .79). Discussion and conclusion. Our results confirmed that the Mexican Spanish version of the APSD has good psychometric properties to be used in future research.

Published: December 2019

Introduction. “Episodic” memory problems are common in people with cognitive impairment due to Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. Dubois et al. developed the Five-Word Test (5WT) to evaluate episodic memory, which has proved to be an easy and valid test for identifying cognitive disorders. However, its validation and cultural adaptation from French to Spanish has not been undertaken and its usefulness in Mexican population is unknown. Objective. Validation and cultural adaptation of the 5WT for screening minor and major neurocognitive disorder (ND) in Mexican older adults with probable Alzheimer’s disease. Method. Two hundred and fifteen participants (70 cognitively healthy subjects, 73 with minor ND and 72 with major ND were included). The cognitive status (gold standard) was determined using current clinical criteria and neuropsychological evaluation. The Spearman coefficient, ROC curve, and multinomial logistic regression models were used to determine the concurrent validity of the 5WT. Results. The correlation between the 5WT and the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) was .58, whereas for the clock face test it was -.37 (p < .001). The area under the 5WT curve was .97 (95% CI [.94, .99]), with a cut-off point of ≤ 16/20 for the diagnosis of major ND (89% sensitivity, 98% specificity) and .77 (95% CI [.70, .85]) for minor ND with a cut-off point of ≤ 18/20 (66% sensitivity, 77% specificity). Discussion and conclusion. Since the 5WT is a simple, valid instrument for the identification of neurocognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s disease, it could be a practical screening test.

Background. Self-efficacy refers to an individual’s belief in his or her capacity to execute certain behaviors and determines changes in the lifestyle of persons with chronic diseases such as obesity. There is currently no instrument with optimal psychometric properties measuring self-efficacy for a healthy diet. HAPA is a theoretical framework that can describe, explain, and predict health behavior changes and its relationship with self-efficacy, and it that is useful for the development of interventions, particularly in the area of healthy diets. Objective. The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument to measure self-efficacy for a healthy diet in Mexican population with obesity and the evaluation of the psychometric properties of the Self-Efficacy Scale for a Healthy Diet (SSHD). Method. The sample included 202 participants receiving care in public obesity clinics. The SSHD applied is a Likert-type scale developed from the Health Action Process Approach containing 45 items. Omega coefficient and Confirmatory Factor Analyses were estimated to evaluate the psychometric properties. Results. The scale has good measures of goodness of fit χ2 = 66.49; p < .001; χ2 SB/gl = 41; CFIS = .955; NFI = .893; RMSEAS = .056 (95% CI [.029, .079]) and total scale reliability of ω = .896 (CI 95% [.876, .915]). Discussion and conclusion. The SSHD is a reliable, valid instrument for measuring the three types of self-efficacies proposed in HAPA in people with obesity who require changes to adhere to a healthier diet.
The Effects of Terrorist Attacks on Regional Economic Growth in Turkey
Authors: Çelik Necmettin
Published: December 2019

The process of balanced and comprehensive regional growth requires political as well as economic stability. Therefore, the effects of political dynamics such as terrorism on regional growth should be investigated for a more comprehensive analysis. This study investigates the effects of terrorist events, which have reached the dimensions of political instability in Turkey, over the growth performance of the regions. In this context, the model has been designed to cover the 2005-2014 period and Turkey’s NUTS-II regions (26 regions) and has been estimated based on the GMM estimator. The obtained findings show the terror events experienced in Turkey to have a statistically significant negative effect on regions’ growth performance. In other words, the problem of terrorism, which has been a frequent ongoing problem in southeast Turkey for nearly 40 years, has hindered economic growth. The other findings of the model indicate the accumulation of physical capital to have positive and statistically significant effects on regional growth rather than the accumulation of human capital.
On fluorescent sensing of metal ions using water extracts of Salvia officinalis
Authors: SARGİN İdris
Published: December 2019

Sensing of metal ions using fluorometric tools has wide applications in
chemical, biological and environmental analysis. Plant phytochemicals, like
flavonoids, exhibit intense fluorescence upon excitation by UV light. Leaves
sage (Salvia officinalis), which is
rich in polyphenolic and flavonoids compounds, were extracted using Soxhlet and
microwave-assisted extractors. The extraction methods led to variations in the
phytochemical composition of the extracts, which in turn affected their
interaction with metal ions. Despite the variations in the composition, both of
the extracts gave high fluorescence emissions when excited at 365 nm.
Variations in fluorescence emissions of the extracts were studied in upon
addition of each metal ion;  i.e., Li+,
Na+, K+, Cs+, Be2+, Mg2+,
Sr2+, Ba2+, Al3+, Tl3+, Ge4+,
Sn4+, Pb2+, Sb3+, Bi3+, Se4+,
Cu2+, Ag+, Zn2+, Cd2+, Ti4+,
Cr3+, Cr6+, Mo6+,  W6+, Mn2+, Fe3+,
Ni2+, Co2+ and Pd2+. When they were added into
the Soxhlet extract, some ions (Cr3+, Pb2+, Co2+)
induced intense fluorescence and some (Ge4+, Mg2+, K+,
Na+) ions quenched the fluorescence emission. As for
microwave-assisted extract, the addition of Sr2+, Mg2+
and Co2+ ions enhanced the fluorescence emission of the extract, but
Fe3+, Be2+ and Cs+ lowered the fluorescence
intensity. However, the results of the study should be considered as
introductory and further selectivity and sensitivity studies should be done for
each extract if they are used for sensing of metal ions. Yet, this study
demonstrated that sage extracts has a potential for fluorescent sensing of
certain metal ions.

It is very important that the shielding material used in radiation
treatment and imaging centers can effectively protect against radiation and
that this material is cost-effective. Therefore, studies are underway on the
development of different types of shielding materials. In this study, radiation
absorption properties of sodium tungstate (Na2WO4) and sodium molybdate
(Na2MoO4) coated wall papers were investigated. The beta radiation absorption
properties of these elements which are applied on wall papers in different
densities (100% precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), 2.5 g, 5 g, and 7.5 g
amounts of Na2WO4 and Na2MoO4 and various thicknesses (0.172-0.258 mm) were
investigated. The wallpapers were irradiated with 4 MeV-energized electrons and
measurements were taken with the PTW brand electron detector. The linear
absorption coefficients of the wallpapers were obtained and half value layer
(HVL) and one-tenth value layer (TVL) were calculated from these results.
According to the results, it is observed that the beta radiation absorption
properties of these wallpapers increase as the density of Na2WO4 and Na2MoO4
increases and as the coating thickness increases in the coating materials used
to cover the surface of the wallpapers.
Application of Heterocyclic Compounds as Catalysts in Suzuki-Miyaura Cross-Coupling Reaction
Authors: AKKOÇ Senem
Published: December 2019

Four different benzimidazolium salts (1-4) were prepared in three steps at 80 oC and their
structures were elucidated using spectroscopic methods. The compounds (1-4) obtained were tested in in situ medium as catalyst in the
carbon-carbon (C-C) bond formation reactions of two different boronic acid
derivatives with various aryl halides in the presence of palladium acetate
(PdOAc)2 and sodium
tertiarybutoxide (NaOBut) as a base. With this reaction, four
coupling products (5-8) were
synthesized in different yields ranging from 11 to 93%. Compound 2 from the carbene precursors tested in
the Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reaction was found to be a more effective
catalyst candidate than others.
Correlation of the entrainment factor with frother types and their mixtures in the column flotation
Authors: KURŞUN Hülya
Published: December 2019

In flotation, entrainment is a mechanical mass transfer process and it
is based on the changes depending on the establishment of linear relationship
between water and solid recovery. The present paper presents results obtained
in investigating the effect of frother mixture concentrations on the
entrainment of fine particles’ during the column flotation. The aim of the
present study was to investigate more specifically the relationship between the
recovery via entrainment of a range of different hydrophilic calcite particles.
For this, to determine entrainment factor of fine particle was used a mixture
of artificial ore (celestite/calcite; 1:1). The results showed that the frother
mixtures had important effect on the grade and recovery, superficial air rate,
gas hold-up and entrainment of fine gangue particles. Entrainment factors for
frother mixtures were compared in flotation column. Kirjaveinen (1989) model
was used for explaining the specific entrainment factor (Pi) of hydrophilic
particles and it has been observed that this model supports the results of this
study. This, together with the increased recovery, resulted in higher celestite
grades of valuable mineral recovered to the concentrate when using the frother
mixtures (Pine Oil+MIBC).
Çin’in ekonomik büyümesinde ivme kaybı: İhracat-kamu harcamaları etkisi, Toda-Yamamoto nedensellik testi
Authors: TEMİZ DİNÇ Dilek
Published: December 2019

Çin, uyguladığı başarılı
reformlar ve dışa açılma politikası ile önemli bir ekonomik büyüme performansı
yakalayarak, gelişmiş ekonomilerle arasını hızla kapatan bir ekonomi görünümüne
sahipti. Ancak, 2010 yılından itibaren büyüme hızı yavaşlamaya başladı. Büyüme
hızındaki bu ivme kaybının birçok nedeninin olmasıyla birlikte, Çin’in ihracat
artış hızının ve Çin’deki kamu harcamalarının azalması başlıca nedenler
arasında sayılabilir. Bu çalışmada, Çin’in ihracatı, kamu harcamaları ve
ekonomik büyümesi arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi, Toda-Yamamoto nedensellik
testi ile araştırılmıştır. Çalışmada, 1960-2017 dönemini kapsayan yıllık
veriler kullanılmıştır. Ampirik analizler sonucunda, Çin’in ekonomik büyümesi
ile kamu harcamaları arasında çift yönlü, ihracatı ile ekonomik büyümesi
arasında ise ihracatından ekonomik büyümesine doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik
ilişkisi saptanmıştır.  Bu bulgular göre,
Çin’in ekonomik büyümesi ile kamu harcamaları ilişkisi, hem Wagner’in hem de
Keynes’in hipotezlerini desteklemekte, ekonomik büyümesi ile ihracatı ilişkisi
ise ihracata dayalı büyüme hipotezini desteklemektedir. Çalışmada ayrıca
varyans ayrıştırması analizi ile Çin’in ekonomik büyümesi üzerinde ihracatının
etkisinin kamu harcamalarının etkisinden daha fazla olduğu sonucuna
ulaşılmıştır.

Audit on maternal mortality in a tertiary care centre in India of 6 years, a retrospective analysis
Authors: Agrawal Neha , Chaudhari Hemangi K.
Published: December 2019

Background: This study is carried out on 382 cases of maternal deaths from July 2010 to June 2016 at the department of obstetrics and gynaecology of tertiary centre to evaluate causes and risk factor associated with maternal deaths.Methods: Retrospective analysis of all maternal deaths occurred in department of obstetrics and gynaecology of tertiary care hospital from July 2010 to June 2016.Results: The MMR in the study period was 915/100000 live births. Maximum no. of maternal death 42.7% were in age group of 21-25 years, majority of them residing in urban area. 117 patients referred from sub-district/district hospital. 76.4% patients were registered. 60% maternal deaths were seen in postnatal period. In present study majority of maternal deaths 60% were due to indirect cause while 40% patients died due to direct cause. Major causes of maternal deaths were hypertensive disorder 12%, obstetric haemorrhage 11% tuberculosis 11%, hepatitis E 8% and pregnancy related infections 5.6%.Conclusions: High maternal mortality can be due to the fact that the study was conducted in tertiary care referral centre. Referral of moribund cases from rural, sub-district, district and peripheral hospital to our institute have inflated this mortality ratio. All of these being preventable causes of death can be avoided by improving standard of obstetric care, increasing number of health professionals, upgradation of healthcare facilities at first referral units and by making better health policies.
Study of subclinical hypothyroidism in elderly and its correlation with lipid profile
Authors: Mohanty Namita , Parhi Satyajit
Published: December 2019

Background: Although hypothyroidism accompanying dyslipidemia previously recognized as important risk factor for cardiovascular disease, but now subclinical hypothyroidism emerged as important risk factor for atherosclerosis and myocardial infarction especially in elderly people. Subclinical Hypothyroidism (SCH) is a state characterized by normal serum T3 and T4 level with elevated TSH level having minimal signs and symptoms. There are limited studies on SCH and dyslipidemia in elderly people in India, so this study was undertaken to correlate thyroid function abnormality with lipid profile in elderly population. Methods: This observational study was conducted in 74 elderly people more than 60 years age group having symptoms of SCH i.e. fatigue, weakness mild thyroid swelling, weight gain etc. who did not previously have a diagnosis of hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, previous thyroidectomy, renal failure, hepatic failure, systemic hypertension etc. They had normal T3, T4 level and raised TSH value. Cases with TSH value >5 mIU/L but normal T3, T4 level were evaluated further for lipid profile. Results: Elderly females suffered more from SCH in the age group of 60-70 years. Participants with SCH had significantly higher cholesterol (p value=0.0216), higher LDL (p value=0.0241) and higher triglyceride (p value =0.0004) with increasing TSH showing positive correlation. There is no significant correlation between decreasing HDL and TSH value.Conclusions: All elderly people should be routinely screened for thyroid function abnormality. Those have SCH should also be evaluated for dyslipidemia so that they can be treated with lipid lowering drugs and low dose thyroxine judiciously to prevent atherosclerosis.
