Authors: MAIMAITIAILI Kasimu
Published: May 2020

Amerika 20.yüzyıl dünya ekonomisi ve siyasetinde belirleyici dünya gücü olarak varlığını sürdürmüştür. 21. yüzyılda da liderlik statüsünü koruyup koruyamayacağı 1978 yılı sonrası reformlarla hızla gelişmekte olan, iktisadi askeri ve siyasi olarak oldukça ilerleme kaydeden ve gelişmeye devam edeceği beklenen Çin karşısında sorgulanmaya başlamıştır. Amerika yönetimi ve halkının mevcut gerçekler karşısında düşman algısı büyük derecede değişmeye, Çin tehdidi gittikçe İslam ve Rus tehdidinin yerini almaya başlamıştır. Amerikalılar günümüzde artık kendi güvenliğine ve dünyadaki liderlik statüsüne en büyük rakibin Çin olduğuna inanmaktadır. Amerika hükümeti Asya’ya yönelik stratejiler, politikalar geliştirerek uygulamaya başlamış ve dünya çapında işbirliği arama sürecine girmiştir. Çin bunu kendini çevrelemek olarak algılamakla kalmamış, aksine dünyanın süper gücü olma hayalini gerçekleştirmek için batı stratejisi başta olmak üzere Kuşak Yol gibi projeleri geliştirerek etki alanını genişletmeye başlamıştır. Orta Asya özel coğrafik konumuyla hem Amerika hem de Çin açısından gittikçe önem kazanarak, büyük güçlerin yeni bir rekabet alanı olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmada nicel ve nitel verilere dayanarak Çin ile Amerika’da cereyan eden siyasi, ekonomik gelişmelerin dünya güç dengelerinin değişimine olan etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. İki devlet arasında ortaya çıkan ticaret savaşları ve onun nedenlerinin ele alınmasıyla beraber iki süper gücün küresel rekabetindeki Orta Asya’nın önemi incelenmiştir.
CUMHURİYET DÖNEMİ (1935-1950) TÜRK HİKÂYESİNDE DEĞERLER İNŞÂSI: AİLE KURUMUYLA İLGİLİ DEĞERLER
Authors: TUFANER Çare
Published: May 2020

Değer kavramı insana özgüdür. İnsanlar ait oldukları toplum, ahlak anlayışı, inançlar, gelenekler ve gelecek tasarımı doğrultusunda gelecek nesilleri oluştururken ve diğer insanlarla topluluk içinde yaşarken bu değerleri ortaya koyar, geliştirir, uygular ve öğretirler. Bu açıdan düşünüldüğünde değer kavramının birkaç boyutu ortaya çıkar: evrensel değerler, milli değerler, ahlaki değerler, kültürel değerler, inançsal (dini) değerler vb. Bunların arasında, hem tüm insanlık adına geliştirilen değerlerle çelişmeyen hem de yerel düzeydeki darlaşma ile betimlenemeyecek olan ama içinde barındırdığı insan topluluğunun yaşamsal uygulamalarını, farklılıklarını, gelecek tasarımını da içine alan dizge milli değerlerdir. Cumhuriyet dönemi de üst kimlik olarak Anadolu coğrafyasının mayasını temele alan Türk değerlerini işler ve onları sanat, edebiyat ve en öznel kapsamda romanda işlemeye başlar. Toplumu oluşturan sosyal birimciklerin en temeli olarak aile kurumu kendini gösterir, bu açıdan ailenin kurulması, geliştirilmesi, sağlamlaştırılması gelecek nesillerin de iyi yetişmesi ve sağlıklı bir toplum yapısının ortaya çıkarılması anlamına gelecektir.
Makalemizde 1935 ile 1950 yılları arasında basılı hikâye kitaplarında yeni kurulan siyasi ve sosyal devlet düzeninin aile üzerindeki yenilik izleri incelendi. Hikâyelerde aile kurumuyla ilgili değerler; aile kurma kararı, aile olmanın sorumlulukları, huzurlu aile yapısı, aile kurumunun dağılması/boşanma başlıkları altında değerlendirildi. İncelediğimiz dönemde eşlerin birbirine denk olması ve çiftlerin birbirlerini eş olarak istemeleri, ailede hem kadının hem de erkeğin üretmesi gerektiği, çeşitli sebeplerle anlaşmazlık durumunda medenice boşanmanın gerçekleşmesi gerektiği yönündeki düşünceler ortaya kondu. Bu nedenle hikâyelerin yeni toplumsal yapıyı kurmada eğitici, yönlendirici bir işlev taşıdıkları tespit edildi.

Authors: Agranovich O. E.
Published: June 2020

The incidence of plexus brachial birth injuries consists 0.12 % of births (0.04–0.20 %). Although the possibility of complete recovery is relatively high, 10–30 % patients have secondary deformity and limitation of upper limb function due to muscle imbalance and co-contraction around the shoulder and elbow cause abnormal motor performance, osseous deformities and joint contracture. Botulinum toxin type A injections into targeted muscles in combination with occupation therapy, physiotherapy or operative treatment reduce the abnormal cocontraction of the antagonist muscles and help to restore muscles balance and prevent secondary deformities. The article discuses indications for botulinum injection therapy, target muscles, doses of botulinum toxin A, optimal patient’s age and results of treatment.

Introduction. X-linked mental retardation 102 type caused by novel mutations in the DDX3X gene is one of the most common monogenic variants of intellectual deficiency in women.

Purpose of the study. Description of the clinical and genetic characteristics of Russian female patients with type 102 mental retardation due to newly identified mutations.

Materials and methods. The diagnosis of mental retardation of type 102 was established on the basis of the features of clinical manifestations and the detection of the mutations in the DDX3X gene as a result of exome sequencing and subsequent confirmation of the identified variants of Sanger sequencing.

Results. A description is given of the clinical and genetic characteristics of two female patients with type 102 X-linked mental retardation due newly to identified mutations p.1703C> G and c.113A> G (NM_001193416) in the DDX3X gene in the heterozygous state. New features of the phenotype are described. The mechanism of the appearance of clinical and genetic correlations is suggested, which can be used as a prognostic marker of the development of the disease.

Conclusion. Clinical and genetic characteristics of two patients with mutations in the DDX3X gene that violate the amino acid sequence of different protein regions with different severity of clinical manifestations are described. The results obtained may testify in favor of the existence of a dependence of the severity of the phenotype on the localization and nature of mutations in the gene and determine the relevance of further research aimed at searching for clinical and genetic correlations.

Published: May 2020

In the current work we aimed to detect the incubation effect using between-subject and within-subject design. We compared the performance rate of solving Remote Association Test in incubation (with a break) and no-incubation conditions. During the incubation phase participants were listening to the audio record of the science-fiction novel. No significant differences were found in the performance level in incubation and no-incubation conditions, neither in within-group nor in the between-group tests. Nonetheless we found the indirect indicators of the processes that are encountered during the incubation period. The discrepancy in the absence of raw performance indicators of incubation on the one hand, and the presence of the difficulty indicators changes on another hand, is discussed in the context of the activation paradigm and the model of awareness of implicit solution.

Published: May 2020

In this study, the antioxidant and cytotoxic activities of resin obtained from the Cilician Fir plant were evaluated. According to data, the in vitro antioxidant activity of the resin has changed depending on the radical scavenging activity method. This resin has antioxidant activity according to 2,2′-Azino-bis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) (ABTS) radical scavenging assay. The in vitro cytotoxic activity of the resin was investigated against a panel of human cancer cells (MDA-MB-231, Hep G2, PC-3, U-87, MCF-7, HT-29) with the MTT (3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay for 48 h. Normal human lung fibroblast cells (WI-38) were used as healthy cells. The results indicated that the in vitro cytotoxic activity of the resin depends on the cell line type and concentration of the resin. According to the IC50 values, the resin has the most cytotoxic activity on endometrial adenocarcinoma cancer cells (IC50=8.94 ± 0.03 µg mL-1) compared to other cancer cells. The results also indicated that Ishikawa endometrial adenocarcinoma cells, which have Selectivity Index (SI) value >2, have the most sensitivity against the resin. This study provides the first evidence that the resin inhibits the different cancer cells' growth.

Published: June 2020

We aimed to compare the geometric distortion (GD) correction performance and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) measurements of single-shot diffusion-weighted echo-planar imaging (SS-DWEPI), multiplexed sensitivity encoding (MUSE)-DWEPI, and MUSE-DWEPI with reverse-polarity gradient (RPG) in phantoms and patients. We performed phantom studies at 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using the American College of Radiology phantom and Quantitative Imaging Biomarker Alliance DW-MRI ice-water phantom to assess GD and effect of distortion in the measurement of ADC, respectively. Institutional review board approved the prospective clinical component of this study. DW-MRI data were obtained from 11 patients with head and neck cancer using these three DW-MRI methods. Wilcoxon signed-rank (WSR) and Kruskal–Wallis (KW) tests were used to compare ADC values, and qualitative rating by radiologist between three DW-MRI methods. In the ACR phantom, GD of 0.17% was observed for the b = 0 s/mm2 image of the MUSE-DWEPI with RPG method compared with that of 1.53% and 2.1% of MUSE-DWEPI and SS-DWEPI, respectively; The corresponding methods root-mean-square errors were 0.58, 3.37, and 5.07 mm. WSR and KW tests showed no significant difference in the ADC measurement between these three DW-MRI methods for both healthy masseter muscles and neoplasms (P > .05). We observed improvement in spatial accuracy for MUSE-DWEPI with RPG in the head and neck region with a higher correlation (R2 = 0.791) compared with that for SS-DWEPI (R2 = 0.707) and MUSE-DWEPI (R2 = 0.745). MUSE-DWEPI with RPG significantly reduces the distortion compared with MUSE-DWEPI or conventional SS-DWEPI techniques, and the ADC values were similar.

Published: May 2020

Cloud adoption is an attractive technological innovation due to the capital cost reduction and fast quality improvements it provides. In this paper, we present a new fuzzy methodology for cloud service selection. Product features and functionalities, customer support, customer rating, and security options are just a few of the factors influencing cloud platforms evaluation. A practical example for ordering cloud storage systems is calculated by using fuzzy measurement of alternatives and ranking according to the compromise solution (MARCOS) method. After establishing the relevant indicators for cloud technologies’ assessment and their relative weights, crisp values and linguistic terms are transformed into triangular fuzzy numbers and then multi-criteria analysis is employed. The obtained ranking helps managers make an informed and wellgrounded decision for cloud platform selection.

Background: Social life can be affected by skin condition. Acne Vulgaris (AV) is a multi-factorial skin disorder that affects many people. Several dietary factors are associated with AV.
Objectives: Different findings on glycemic indices led us to investigate the effect of the dietary glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) on AV by a systematic review and meta-analysis.
Methods: Observational studies and clinical trials were extracted from PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, and Google Scholar. The mean ± Standard division (SD) for acne grading in clinical trials and the mean ± SD GI or GL of the diet for observational studies were used for meta-analysis.
Results: We found that nine out of 15 studies were eligible for systematic review clinical trials (N = 3) and observational studies (N = 6) designs. The meta-analysis of three studies clinically assessed the effect of GI/GL on acne and showed that a diet with lower GI/GL reduced the acne severity (Hedges’g = -0.91, 95% CI: -1.57, -0.25, P = 0.007). The analysis of six observational studies showed that dietary habit with higher GI might not affect the acne severity in patients with AV (Hedges’g = 0.07, 95%CI: -0.23, 0.38, P = 0.636), but individuals with higher acne severity had a diet with higher GL (Hedges’g = 0.64, 95%CI: 0.01, 1.26, P = 0.045).
Conclusions: Diet, as a part of life style, is associated with AV. Adherence to lower GL diet may reduce the severity of AV. Further well-designed clinical trials are required to confirm these results.

Background: Cancer is a global problem and causes lots of deaths across the world. Due to the high cost of manufacturing and developing new drugs, there is more willingness to use medications that may have anti-neoplastic effects.
Objectives: Antipsychotic drugs have a long history of clinical use. Currently, there are several reports about the anticancer effects of antipsychotic drugs in different types of malignancies.
Methods: In this study, the effects and mechanisms of several antipsychotic drugs on different types of cancer were investigated. The current investigations show that some antipsychotic drugs might inhibit the proliferation of cancer cells and some others can be used to ease the symptoms caused by cancer.
Results: The anticancer effects of all antipsychotic drugs haven’t been thoroughly investigated and it is reported that few drugs may reverse the effects and increase the risk of neoplasm. Conclusions: Although some studies have revealed that antipsychotic drugs might beneficially affect cancer cells, high quality clinical trials are still needed to confirm these results.
