ATM’LERDEKİ NAKİTE YÖNELİK TALEP TAHMİNİ ÜZERİNE SİSTEMATİK YAZIN ANALİZİ
Authors: CEDOLİN Michele , GENEVOİS Müjde
Published: March 2021

Otomatik Vezne Makineleri, yaygın kullanılan ismi ile ATM’ler, bankacılık sektörünün en önemli servis kollarından birini oluşturmaktadır. Özellikle COVID-19 sürecinde, bankalar birçok şube içi işlemi bu makinelere kaydırmış, para çekme ve yatırma limitleri arttırılarak bu temassız servis noktasının kullanımını teşvik etmiştir. Bu makinelerde gerçekleşen nakit akışlarına yönelik yapılan talep tahminleri, herhangi bir üründen ziyade direk olarak nakit parayı hedef aldığından, katma değeri yüksek zorlu bir süreci oluşturmakla beraber; problemin karşıt amaçlarını ise, yeterli miktarda nakit bulunmaması durumunda müşteri ihtiyacının giderilememesi ve buna karşılık makine içerisindeki paranın banka tarafından herhangi bir yatırım aracında değerlendirilmemesi oluşturmaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında, günümüze kadar ATM talep tahmini üzerine yapılmış çalışmalar, veri yapısı, tahmin yöntemi, karşılaşılan sıkıntılar, alternatif modeller, tahmin dönemi gibi çeşitli başlıklarda sınıflandırılmakta, henüz değinilmemiş noktalar belirtilerek bundan sonraki çalışmalara zemin hazırlanmaktadır. Özellikle talep tahmininde makine öğrenmesi yöntemlerinin yaygın olarak kullanıldığı ve bu yöntemlerin sonuçlarının istatistiksel tahmin yöntemleri çıktıları ile karşılaştırıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Çalışmaların büyük bir çoğunluğu ortak bir açık veri seti kullanmakta ve karşılaştırılabilir sonuçlar sunmaktadır. Bildiğimiz kadarı ile bu çalışma, tasvir ettiğimiz alanda yapılan ilk yazın taraması olmakta, aynı zamanda ülkemizde henüz üzerinde durulmamış bir alanı işaret etmektedir.
Amaç: ATM’lerle ilgili mevcut talep tahmini yazının taranması, sınıflandırılması ve bu alandaki çalışmalar için yol haritası oluşturması.
Yöntem: Sistematik yayın taraması, makalelerin sınıflandırılması, kriterlerinin seçilmesi ve buna göre sınıflandırılıp analiz edilmesi.
Bulgular: ATM talep tahmini alanında 32 çalışmanın varlığı, ortak açık veri setlerinin kullanıldığı, yaygın olarak makine öğrenme metotlarının uygulandığı ve istatistiksel talep tahmin modellerinin karşılaştırma ölçütü olarak sunulduğunun tespiti.
Özgünlük: Bu alanda yapılan ilk sistematik yazın taraması ve analizi olması.

Retrospective Review of Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment of COVID-19 in China: Clinical Practice and Researches
Authors: Lai Han , Zhang Hui
Published: March 2021

In the fight against COVID-19 in China, traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has played an important role in relieving symptoms, preventing deterioration, improving cure rate, reducing death rate, and promoting recovery. Since the third edition of the Diagnosis and Treatment Protocol for COVID-19 (simply referred to as the National Protocol), TCM has been included in the national guidance to tackle the epidemic. In order to make the international medical community fully understand the experience of TCM in the prevention and treatment of COVID-19, we comprehensively reviewed the history, etiology and pathogenesis, prevention and treatment, rehabilitation, and clinical and pharmacological research of TCM used in the endemic. The COVID-19 is under the category of plague or pestilence in TCM. Herbal medicine treatment for COVID-19 is mainly performed based on the syndrome differentiation of three stages and four types. The method also applies to acupuncture and moxibustion treatments. Herbal medicine granules and injections are used flexibly, and Western medicine is adopted to rescue patients in critical conditions. In rehabilitation, the integration of Chinese and Western medicine can be used to improve the respiratory and somatic function of patients. The role TCM has been playing in fighting this epidemic is a further proof of the effect of TCM in preventing and treating infectious diseases, and the relevant experience has been summarized and sublimated.

The role of technology in the historical development of the reproduction right in musical works
Authors: Baloyi J Joel
Published: March 2021

This contribution recounts the historical development and expansion of the reproduction right in copyright in response to, and as a result of, technological developments, with a focus on the music reproduction right. It is shown how the very first copyright statute, the Statute of Anne, was enacted in response to the effects of a technological development, namely the invention of the printing press, which had been experienced over some time. To safeguard the interests of rightsholders, the Statute of Anne gave rise to and was itself epitomised by the reproduction right (the right to copy or print). The uncertainty with regard to the question of whether the Statute of Anne applied only in respect of books and other literary works, or whether it also extended to musical works, was resolved in the case of Bach v Longman, which extended the application of the Statute to musical works. It was particularly in the area of musical works that the reproduction right was further developed in the wake of rapid technological developments that emerged at the end of the nineteenth century and have continued into the digital age. This has led to the expansion of the music reproduction right into a multi-pronged right, covering usages made possible by the various technological developments, thus creating increased sources of income for rights-holders. Using a historical and contextual analysis, the contribution recounts these developments and their continuing relevance today.
A surgical mask worn by the patient in addition to the barrier box reduces the droplet spray during endoscopy
Authors: Muhammad Ali Qadeer  , Zaigham Abbas
Published: March 2021

Recent guidelines for the prevention of COVID-19 advocate that all the elective procedures should be postponed as these produce aerosols that may affect the staff engaged. Sagami R et al and Neven L et al published the use of a barrier box to prevent the spread of droplets.1, 2 We have done some modifications to this technique.
Our endoscopic shield is made of three plastic square walls with a height and width of 50 cm and a length of 40 cm. The wall facing the patient has a hole of 10cm for insertion of the scope. The foot and head sides of the cube are left open. The opening in the head side helps the assistant to keep the patient in proper position, along with the mouth-piece and nasal prong. One may argue that it would lead to the spread of droplets but the previous study has shown that the droplets fall more on the wall facing the patient’s mouth, hence placing the surgical mask over the patient’s face further reduces the head-ward spread of droplets.3 This also helps to facilitate the to and fro movement of the box so that the intubation hole moves away and the intact part of the front wall faces the mouth.
A surgical mask with a small hole is placed in a way that the hole is aligned with the mouthpiece hole. The shield is placed over the patient’s head. The scope is passed through the endoscopic port made in the wall of the shield facing the patient and endoscopy is performed.
This technique has a few advantages. First, it gives free access to the assistant during the procedure. Second, putting the face mask further reduces the risk of the spread of droplets. Third, an appropriate window for endoscope insertion allows the operator to work at ease, especially during challenging procedures.

Published: March 2021

Abstract
External auditory canal, like other epithelialized surfaces is predisposed to malignancies such as Squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), melanomas and adenocarcinomas. In this background, malignancies like adenoid cystic carcinoma (ACC) are a rare occurrence and need to be thoroughly evaluated both locally and for distant extension. The malignancy needs to be addressed with an aggressive approach surgically with adequate marginal clearance. The role of radiation is debatable considering the outcomes in the limited data. Here we present a case of a 35-year-old female who presented with otalgia and otorrhea associated a mass in the external auditory canal. After biopsy and imaging, a diagnosis of adenoid cystic carcinoma was made, and the patient was managed accordingly.

Adapting and Normalizing the 6th Grade Version of the Tool for Real-Time Assessment of Information Literacy Skills (TRAILS) Among the Iranian 6th Grade StudentsTo Information Management and Beyond
Authors: Baji Fatima , Bigdeli Zahed
Published: March 2021

Given the lack of a standardized and normalized assessment tool for measuring Iranian primary school students' levels of IL, this study adapted and modified the Tool for Real-time Assessment of Information Literacy Skills to evaluate the IL skills of a group of the 6th grade students. In this research, descriptive research design was used and the data were collected through a survey. A sample of 701 female and male students in the 6th grade from Ahwaz city was selected. Stratified random sampling technique was used to draw/choose representative sample. Descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, median, interquartile deviation, scores of percentile ranks, and z, Zn, T scores were used to specify the IL skills test norms. According to the results, the mean score of female students in IL skills assessment was 11.56, while in males was 9.04. This demonstrates that the Iranian 6th grade students have weakness in IL skills; this issue is due to the lack of IL instruction in school curriculum and despite the adoption of various documents to improve the education system in Iran in recent years. Findings of this research provide insights towards the IL assessment tool development of k-12 students in Iran and establish a baseline for introducing TRAILS testing in k-12 setting in Iran.
Barriers When Advocating or Providing Information Literacy Instruction in Medical Institutions of Pakistan
Authors: Ullah Midrar , Ameen Kanwal
Published: March 2021

This study aims to identify the factors which hinder the implementation of IL instructions programmes or prevent their systematic development in Pakistani medical institutions. This study adopted a two-phase, sequential mixed method research design. In first phase, head librarians of all (114) academic medical institutions in Pakistan were surveyed. Response rate was 61.5 %. In second phase, 20 purposively selected head librarians were interviewed. There was a consensus between the head librarians employed at public and private sector medical institutions that out of 12 barriers identified in this study, "lack of training opportunities for IL instruction for librarians" and "lack of policy regarding IL instruction in the medical institutions" were the two most significant barriers to IL instruction programmes in medical institutions. These findings suggest future direction for pre- and in-service education of librarians to prepare themselves to provide IL instruction. A clearly stipulated IL policy may be formulated and implemented in all medical institutions. The findings of this study are expected to enable medical librarians to be more aware of the barriers while planning and providing IL instruction in medical institutions.

FACTORS AFFECTING THE PERFORMANCE OF COURIER SERVICE INDUSTRY: A SURVEY OF COURIER COMPANIES IN KENYA
Authors: Nyaga Jacinta Wahu
Published: March 2021

Purpose: The study is an assessment of the factors affecting the performance of courier companies in Kenya.Methodology: A descriptive survey study design was used. The population of this study was 134 courier firms. The sampling frame consisting of 134 firms was obtained from the CCK website.  Stratified random sampling technique was used to select the sample. A sample of 68 firms was considered representative and they were selected by the use of the lottery method. The researcher opted for a questionnaire as a data collection tool. Data was analyzed by the use of descriptive statistics and specifically, means, frequencies and percentages. The analysis tools were simple tabulations and presentations using spreadsheets such as excel. The data was then presented using tables, charts and narratives.Results: The study findings indicate that the companies have invested heavily into the training of their employees. Thus having in place a properly trained workforce can be said to be a factor that has contributed to the success being experienced in the courier service sector. From the study it emerged that there was high motivation among employees in courier firms as evidenced by their attitude towards work itself and promotion factors. However, they were not very happy with the pay factor. It is important to note that it would have been against logical expectation if the findings on the pay issue were different. The courier service firms come out as having in place reliable and very good customer service. The companies take into considerations suggestion made by the customer and prospective customers into the designing of products and services.  ICT is another factor that attributes to the phenomenal growth of the courier service firms. Though the current state of infrastructure is bad, it seems to favor the growth of courier service firms. The courier firms have taken the challenge of poor infrastructure and turned it into an opportunity. In so doing, they have invested in motor bikes in order to beat the traffic jam challenge. This has enabled them to meet the demands of their clients increasing their popularity and hence more business.Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The study recommended that future statistical research taking into account regression and correlation analysis can be conducted on the effects of the noted factors on the various growth indicators such as market share, revenues and profits. Such a study would verify or repute the findings of this study. Future study can also be conducted on an individual factor identified in the conceptual framework of this study.

Greek Orthodox Citizen Soldiers under the Ottoman Banner
Authors: Minasidis Charalampos
Published: March 2021

The Great War proved to be an unpleasant and traumatic experience for many Greek Orthodox citizen soldiers called to fight under the Ottoman banner. Although many served dutifully in arms or otherwise, few had self-legitimized their conscription. Regardless, the denomination of minority citizen soldiers by the Ottoman military authorities led to their mass assignment to unarmed positions, which could mean their transfer to the labor battalions, and possibly their death. Most Greek Orthodox were aware of labor battalions’ harsh conditions, and their transformation into killing grounds for the Armenian citizen soldiers. Based on grassroots sources such as diaries, memoirs, and interviews, I demonstrate that this discriminatory war policy was not systematic, as several recruits were later trained and armed during the war, and I argue that a new contractual relationship emerged for those skilled and literate Greek Orthodox through which they could successfully negotiate their skills to avoid the labor battalions and, thus, have greater chances of surviving the war.

Financial intermediation services offered by financial institutions facilitate the firms in smoothening their operations. This study considers the role of the intermediaries beyond the traditional savings and pooling of funds. It takes into account multiple intermediary services offered by financial institutions. These are inclusive of transaction cost reduction services, assurance of liquidity services, information sharing function, and facilitation for delegated monitoring. Firms benefit from these services. This study testifies the impact of financially intermediated functions on firm growth. The sample of the study includes 130 listed companies in the PSX. The analysis employs the Panel Data Analysis (PDA) technique. The results of Transaction Cost Reduction Services, Liquidity Assurance Services, and Information Sharing Services are found to have a statistically significant impact while the proxy for Delegated Monitoring Services offered by intermediaries is found to have an insignificant impact on firm growth. The significance of the integrated intermediation services reflects that firms utilizing the offered intermediary services are benefitted and firm growth is observed as a Fixed Effect.

Dramatic Resolution of Recalcitrant Cystoid Macular Edema after Concurrent Intravitreal Injection of Bevacizumab and Triamcinolone
Authors: Chalam Kakarla V. , Gasparian Suzie , Enghelberg Moises
Published: March 2021

Background: Cystoid macular edema (CME), a common complication of branch retinal vein occlusion (BRVO), is associated with a significant vision loss. Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy is the gold standard of treatment, while grid macular photocoagulation has also been used as an adjuvant in patients with CME secondary to BRVO. More recent efforts were successful by the use of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide. We proposed a concurrent use of intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide and intravitreal bevacizumab in the treatment of CME secondary to BRVO.

Case presentation: We described an 82-year-old female with a BRVO in the right eye who developed associated CME. Repeated injections of intravitreal bevacizumab and modified grid macular laser treatment were ineffective. A concurrent treatment with intravitreal bevacizumab and triamcinolone acetonide resulted in complete and dramatic resolution of CME with a favorable visual outcome. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) demonstrated a significant decrease in central subfield thickness (CST) from 764μm to 253μm, without any post-procedure complications or recurrence of macular edema with complete recovery of visual acuity at 6-month follow-up.

Conclusion: Early concurrent treatment with intravitreal anti-VEGF therapy (e.g. intravitreal bevacizumab) and intravitreal triamcinolone acetonide is likely to be more effective than intravitreal anti-VEGF agents alone or grid macular photocoagulation in the management of CME associated with BRVO.

Published: March 2021

The efficient operation of power systems and future planning, electricity load forecast is very important. Load estimation is based on predicting future electric load by examining past conditions. Short-term load prediction plays a decisive role in the load sharing of power plants. It also allows to overcome shortcomings caused by sudden load increases and power plant losses. Weather conditions are effective in short-term electrical load estimation. Daily or hourly electricity consumption data is generally used for short-term load estimation. In this study, daily electrical energy consumption of Turkey in the four years of data were used. Short-term load prediction modeling has been carried out. In this modeling, past electrical load values and temperature values were used as input, and in order to increase the prediction accuracy, the characteristics of the days were categorized weekly and classified according to the seasons. Different Artificial Neural Network models have been created according to input data, weekly categorization, and season criteria. In the study, mean absolute percentage error values were calculated. Among the models developed with ANN, the best MAPE value was 2.51% and the worst MAPE value was 4.48%. When the season criterion is added, the MAPE value is more successful.
