THE EMOTIONAL INFECTION OF THE VIRTUAL INNOVATION PROJECT TEAM
Authors: Bushuyev S , Bushuyeva N , Bushuieva V
Published: January 2021

Emotional infection is considered as a social and psychological mechanism of transferring the mental mood of the manager to the virtual project team and stakeholders of the projects. Emotional impact in the face of direct contact and the inclusion of the virtual team members in certain mental states have an impact on the effectiveness of project management. The main objective of emotional infection analysis is educated and creates the organization of new behavior in adverse, deadly, and aggressive external conditions the manager or virtual team. In times of global crisis and depression 2.0, the emotional behavior of the innovation project manager and his infection with the project team is exacerbated by external uncertainty. The stakeholder infection model is based on an understanding of the life cycle of the project manager, which is presented as a curve for personal changes of the manager of innovative communication projects and programs. Emotions are considered in content, reflecting the various aspects and meanings that caused them. To apply the psychophysiological formula for assessing the impact of the emotional state of the virtual team of innovative projects, these influences have been transformed into a competent model for managing these projects.

Published: January 2021

At present creation of specialized organizational structure, the technology transfer office (TTO) in higher education institutions (HEIs) becomes increasingly important for establishing communication between scientists, business and the state and for implementation of the results of scientific and technical activities of higher education institutions in the real sector of the economy. Surveys of domestic and foreign scientists show that the issues of creating project offices (which in fact are TTOs) in HEIs remain insufficiently explored. Given this, the authors conducted a study of project management to create a TTO in a HEI. Efficient organizational project management requires the presence of Organizational Breakdown Structure. This article proposes an Organizational Breakdown Structure template, which clearly demonstrates the project team structure targeted at TTO creation in a HEI, the subordination and basic functions of each team member. In addition, the article proposes a model of organizational structure of the newly created TTO, which is also a template for HEI, and which defines the structure of the office staff, their subordination and main functions. To determine the location of the TTO in the structure of HEI, the article proposes a corresponding model that shows the subordination and connection of the office with other functional units of HEI. Using the models presented in the article, any HEI will be able to effectively manage the project of creating a TTO and as a result to create a project product - a TTO.

Published: January 2021

Background: Organochlorine pesticides used illegally in the storage of cowpeas by some farmers to prevent attack by weevils were known to affect the health of human adversely.

Objectives: This study determined the mean concentration of aldrin, o,p΄-DDT, endosulfan, heptachlor epoxide and γ-HCH collected from some markets in South-South of Nigeria, compared these concentrations with set standards and ascertained the incidence of occurrence in cowpeas.

 Methods: Forty-eight samples of cowpeas were randomly collected from local markets, identified, authenticated, extracted with dichloromethane using Soxhlet apparatus, cleaned-up with silica gel and analysed in a GC-MS using Restek column.

Results: The mean concentration of aldrin (445.08±6.43) µg/kg, heptachlor epoxide (188.84±3.42) µg/kg, o,p΄-DDT (182.24±5.13) µg/kg, endosulfan (142.94±2.05) µg/kg and γ-HCH (243.90±4.01) µg/kg in some markets were high and above the maximum residual limit.

Conclusion: Organochlorine pesticides are used in most of the markets in south-south Nigeria for the preservation of cowpeas and in some cases, two or more were detected in a given sample, which could be due to the addition of a combination of pesticides. The need for regular monitoring by regulatory agencies and for sensitisation of both the farmers and merchants on the danger of using these pesticides in cowpeas preservation is therefore germane.

Published: January 2021

Context: deoxyribonucleic acid is under attack continuously by numerous exogenous and endogenous factors.DNA lesions are  introduced by the DNA replication. This takes place because of mismatched ribonucleotides or bases that areincorporated randomly by the deoxyribonucleic acid polymerases.

Objectives: The study intended to examine the data from studies onDNA cross-links, causative agents and repairing agents.

Design: The research team performed a literature review, searching relevant literature databases. The sources of data included bioRxiv, medRxiv, Google Scholar, Embase, PsychINFO, and PubMed. The search terms were DNA cross-links, causative and repairing agent.

Setting: The study took place in the main library of the University of Sargodha.

Results: The study identified 39 unique studies that had reported and confirmed DNA cross-links, causativeand repairing agent. The studies found thatthe chemical reliability of Deoxyribonucleic acid is persistently being confronted by environmental and cellular genotoxic agents that create a varied arrangement of covalent nucleobase adduct.

Conclusion: The agents that produce these DRCs include ionizing radiation and UV light. Crosslinking agents are a diverse group of chemical molecules that comprise of two or additional reactive ends.It hasproved that homologous repair and nucleoside excision repair have cooperated closely and mitigated the genotoxic effect of DNA protein cross-links in the cells of Escherichia coli. DNA cross-linking therapies are used to treat various genetic diseases.These lesions can be detected by various methods and repaired using cross-linking agents such ascisplatin, and mitomycin.

Authors: de Wijn A. G. , de la Rodríguez J. Cruz , Scharmer G. B. , Sliepen G. , Sütterlin P.
Published: January 2021

We present the design and performance of a polychromatic polarization modulator for the CRisp Imaging SpectroPolarimeter (CRISP) Fabry–Perot tunable narrow-band imaging spectropolarimer at the Swedish 1 m Solar Telescope (SST). We discuss the design process in depth, compare two possible modulator designs through a tolerance analysis, and investigate thermal sensitivity of the selected design. The trade-offs and procedures described in this paper are generally applicable in the development of broadband polarization modulators. The modulator was built and has been operational since 2015. Its measured performance is close to optimal between 500 and 900 nm, and differences between the design and as-built modulator are largely understood. We show some example data, and briefly review scientific work that used data from SST/CRISP and this modulator.

Published: January 2021

Aujourd’hui, dans beaucoup de secteurs, la Chine a atteint la même maturité industrielle que les entreprises occidentales. Loin de l’image d’une Chine qui développe des champions nationaux en leur réservant le marché intérieur avec un protectionnisme agressif, elle cherche désormais à se développer en intégrant pleinement le multilatéralisme mondial et en donnant à ses entreprises un cadre compétitif propice aux innovations. Pour autant, cette ouverture ne rend pas le marché chinois plus facile d’accès pour des entreprises françaises…

Mélancolie, pouvoir et vérité(s) autour de La Mesnardière
Authors: Perez Stanis
Published: January 2021

La fameuse possession de Loudun a donné lieu à une controverse médicale entre La Mesnardière et Duncan. Ce duel scientifique, apparemment remporté par le fidèle serviteur de Richelieu, n’est pas sans poser la question du rapport à la vérité, tant dans le domaine médical que dans celui, essentiel chez La Mesnardière, des lettres. N’y aurait-il pas un lien entre discours sur la mélancolie et définition des règles de la dramaturgie ? En d’autres termes, le problème de la vérité ne s’est-il pas dessiné, dans un premier temps, autour d’une réflexion sur le pouvoir du diable, contre celui de la bile noire, et sur les aléas d’une vérité bien négociable, tant chez les acteurs que chez les malades ?
La Poétique de La Mesnardière et les théoriciens français contemporains
Authors: Louvat Bénédicte
Published: January 2021

Œuvre de circonstance, qui dialogue avec les textes contemporains de Sarasin, Scudéry et d’Aubignac, la première poétique théâtrale française est aussi un texte ambitieux. Adoptant une composition héritée des divisions aristotéliciennes, elle promeut la commotion pathétique comme clef du succès tragique et manifeste une attention inédite au spectacle, apparaissant in fine comme symptomatique des tensions entre différents modèles esthétiques et théoriques qui caractérisent la période de sa rédaction.
La Poétique de La Mesnardière et les passions tragiques : art oratoire, ornement poétique et mimèsis dramatique
Authors: Sort Aurélia
Published: January 2021

Dans La Poétique , La Mesnardière envisage les passions tragiques sous un jour rhétorique, et dans le cadre d’un pathétique « tendre » dont l’article redéfinit les contours. Mais la rhétorique n’y est pas contraire à la représentation dramatique car elle enseigne l’art d’imiter les passions pour promouvoir une tragédie éthique , qui cherche l’expression naturelle des caractères passionnés. Ces cadres d’une représentation vraisemblable sont pourtant mis à mal par l’ornement poétique des stances. L’ensemble de ce parcours théorique fait de La Mesnardière un témoin précieux de la formation du théâtre classique.
La tragédie au prisme du genre. L’idée de masculinité d’après La Poétique de La Mesnardière
Authors: Chaouche Sabine
Published: January 2021

Cet article examine le concept et la construction de la masculinité dans La Poétique . Il montre que La Mesnardière privilégie des personnages masculins qui font preuve à la fois de force et de sensibilité. Une telle idée s’inspire en partie de l’esthétique de l’honnête homme qui promeut la galanterie et va à l’encontre de certaines règles poétiques relatives au comportement viril. Rompant avec l’idéal de la masculinité dure, il définit un nouveau type de héros tragique, doux et capable d’exprimer, voire même d’exhiber publiquement ses émotions.
Une tragédie pour le Louvre : La Poétique de La Mesnardière
Authors: Steigerwald Jörn
Published: January 2021

L’article s’intéresse à la question suivante : comment peut-on intégrer sinon légitimer un drame à la française dans la Poétique d’Aristote après la Querelle du Cid pour qu’il se présente comme le produit logique des règles aristotéliciennes ? Pour y répondre, La Mesnardière s’approche de la tragédie dans sa Poétique en mettant l’accent sur trois points : 1) la noblesse de la tragédie, 2) l’importance de la pitié, et 3° la place de l’amour dans la tragédie.
Une éloquence enthousiaste : la paraphrase du Panégyrique de Trajan
Authors: Lecompte Jérôme
Published: January 2021

En livrant une paraphrase du Panégyrique de Trajan de Pline le Jeune, c’est toute la liberté d’une éloquence enthousiaste que choisit La Mesnardière. Mais ranimer un tel discours, considéré comme majeur au XVII e  siècle pour des raisons historiques et rhétoriques, n’est-ce pas forcément le constituer de nouveau en objet politique ? Une étude philologique tente de faire entendre la contamination de la voix de Pline par celui qui était alors le client de Richelieu et de Gaston d’Orléans.
Resurrecting Nigeria’s groundnut pyramid
Authors: Sadiq M. S. , Singh I. P. , Ahmad M. M. , Umar S. M.
Published: January 2021

This study empirically reviewed the production trend of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) that was once the pride of Nigeria, with the aim to resurrecting the groundnut pyramid in the country. The study used FAO-sourced annual data that spanned throughout 1961 to 2017 and covered production, area, yield of the studied crop and prices of the studied and competing crops. Collected data were subjected to both descriptive and inferential statistics. The empirical evidence showed the production of groundnut to be affected by area risk and uncertainty- climate change consequence. Furthermore, the future trend of the crop cannot guarantee the food security of groundnut in the country as the annual yield contribution to the annual output will not yield desirable change in the annual output level. Therefore, it becomes imperative for policymakers to inject production and developmental finances into the sector as green alternative remains the best option to salvage the economy of the country which is staggering owing to dampening crude oil prices- a major source of revenue earning. Furthermore, groundnut is now a staple food in virtually all households’ diets in the country as it serves as food, oil and condiments, confectionaries, snakes etc., thus a drain on the country foreign reserve owing to the need to strike a balance between demand and supply.

Published: January 2021

Hyaluronic acid injection is becoming a popular way for penile augmentation. However, only few studies and follow-ups have investigated the various complications of hyaluronic acid injection and their corresponding management. In this study, a total of 230 patients who had penile augmentation with hyaluronic acid injection from January 2018 to December 2019 were examined on follow-up for penile girth, complications, and their corresponding management. At 1-month, 3-month, and 6-month postoperative follow-ups, the penile circumference had increased by 2.66 ± 1.24 cm, 2.28 ± 1.02 cm, and 1.80 ± 0.83 cm, respectively. During the entire 6-month follow-up, 4.3% had complications such as subcutaneous bleeding, subcutaneous nodules, and infection. There were no systemic or local allergic reactions among all the patients. All complications were treated accordingly, and no further deterioration or severe sequelae were observed. Although complications of hyaluronic acid injections are mild and rare, these may affect the patient's satisfaction postoperatively. Preoperative redundant prepuce may increase the incidence of penile edema or postoperative gel migration. Standardization of the surgery protocol and elucidation of the effects of other injection parameters are still lacking. Nevertheless, it still highlights the importance of preoperative preparation and surgical technique.

Published: January 2021

Sperm morphology was once believed as one of the most predictive indicators of pregnancy outcome in assisted reproductive technology (ART). However, the impact of teratozoospermia on in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) outcomes and its offspring remains inconclusive. In order to evaluate the influence of teratozoospermia on pregnancy outcome and newborn status after IVF and ICSI, a retrospective study was conducted. This was a matched case-control study that included 2202 IVF cycles and 2574 ICSI cycles and was conducted at the Reproductive and Genetic Hospital of CITIC-Xiangya in Changsha, China, from June 2013 to June 2018. Patients were divided into two groups based on sperm morphology: teratozoospermia and normal sperm group. The pregnancy outcome and newborn outcome were analyzed. The results indicated that couples with teratozoospermia had a significantly lower optimal embryo rate compared to those with normal sperm morphology in IVF (P = 0.007), while there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in terms of the fertilization rate, cleavage rate, implantation rate, and pregnancy rate (all P > 0.05). Additionally, teratozoospermia was associated with lower infant birth weight in multiple births after IVF. With regard to ICSI, there was no significant difference in both pregnancy outcome and newborn outcome between the teratozoospermia and normal groups (both P > 0.05). Furthermore, no increase in the risk of birth defects occurred in the teratozoospermia group after IVF/ICSI. Consequently, we believe that teratozoospermia has limited predictive value for pregnancy outcomes in IVF/ICSI, and has little impact on the resulting offspring if multiple pregnancy is avoided.

Published: January 2021

Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) have great applications in both reproductive and regenerative medicine. Primates including monkeys are very similar to humans with regard to physiology and pathology. Nevertheless, little is known about the isolation, the characteristics, and the culture of primate SSCs. This study was designed to identify, isolate, and culture monkey SSCs. Immunocytochemistry was used to identify markers for monkey SSCs. Glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor family receptor alpha-1 (GFRA1)-enriched spermatogonia were isolated from monkeys, namely Macaca fascicularis (M. fascicularis), by two-step enzymatic digestion and magnetic-activated cell sorting, and they were cultured on precoated plates in the conditioned medium. Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunocytochemistry, and RNA sequencing were used to compare phenotype and transcriptomes in GFRA1-enriched spermatogonia between 0 day and 14 days of culture, and xenotransplantation was performed to evaluate the function of GFRA1-enriched spermatogonia. SSCs shared some phenotypes with rodent and human SSCs. GFRA1-enriched spermatogonia with high purity and viability were isolated from M. fascicularis testes. The freshly isolated cells expressed numerous markers for rodent SSCs, and they were cultured for 14 days. The expression of numerous SSC markers was maintained during the cultivation of GFRA1-enriched spermatogonia. RNA sequencing reflected a 97.3% similarity in global gene profiles between 0 day and 14 days of culture. The xenotransplantation assay indicated that the GFRA1-enriched spermatogonia formed colonies and proliferated in vivo in the recipient c-KitW/W (W) mutant mice. Collectively, GFRA1-enriched spermatogonia are monkey SSCs phenotypically both in vitro and in vivo. This study suggests that monkey might provide an alternative to human SSCs for basic research and application in human diseases.

Published: January 2021

Introduction:

Pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) still remains a challenge in paediatric practice. Appropriate history, physical examination, and exhaustive investigations are crucial in managing cases of PUO.

Case Presentation:

UU, was a 1-year-old female, who was seen at our facility on 16 January 2020, with a 4-day history of fever. Fever was high grade and intermittent. Examination revealed pyrexia of 38°c and no other remarkable findings. Lassa fever virus serology, hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis C surface antigen, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, full blood count, blood culture (with Bactec), malarial parasite, Mantoux, and CXR were all requested. Results of all these investigations were negative. Echocardiography done showed a 0.23 cm² vegetation at the septal leaflet of the tricuspid valve. A diagnosis of infective endocarditis was made and intravenous vancomycin, ceftriaxone, and metronidazole were commenced. Weekly urinalysis and serum electrolyte urea and creatinine monitoring were documented. After a 3-week course of intravenous antibiotics, patient still had fever with temperature higher than 38°c. A diagnosis of PUO was made and a follow-up plan was to do a bone marrow aspiration to rule out leukaemia and serology to rule out connective tissue disease.

Conclusion:

In managing a child with PUO, detailed history, appropriate physical examination and exhaustive investigations should be done. This is crucial in that even if diagnosis is not reached, several causes of PUO could have been ruled out.
Contribution of Physical Methods in Decellularization of Animal Tissues
Authors: Rabbani Mohsen , Zakian Nasrin , Alimoradi Nima
Published: January 2021

Biologic scaffolds composed of extracellular matrix (ECM) are frequently used for clinical purposes of tissue regeneration. Different methods have been developed for this purpose. All methods of decellularization including chemical and physical approaches leave some damage on the ECM; however, the effects of these methods are different which make some of these procedures more proper to maintain ECM structure than other methods. This review is aimed to introduce and compare new physical methods for the decellularization of different tissues and organs in tissue engineering. All recent reports and research that have used at least one physical method in the procedure of decellularization, were included and evaluated in this paper. The advantages and drawbacks of each method were examined and compared considering the effectiveness. This review tried to highlight the prospective potentials and benefits of applying physical methods for decellularization protocols in tissue engineering instead of the current chemical methods. These chemical methods are harsh in nature and were shown to be destructive and harmful to essential substances of ECM and scaffold structure. Therefore, using physical methods as a partial or even a whole protocol could save time, costs, and quality of the final acellular tissue in complicated decellularization procedures. Moreover, regarding the control factor that could be achieved easily with physical methods, optimization of different decellularization protocols would be quite satisfactory. Combined methods take advantage of both chemical and physical approaches.
Torsion in thin regions of Khovanov homology
Authors: Chandler Alex , Lowrance Adam M. , Sazdanović Radmila , Summers Victor
Published: January 2021

In the integral Khovanov homology of links, the presence of odd torsion is rare. Homologically thin links, that is, links whose Khovanov homology is supported on two adjacent diagonals, are known to contain only
$\mathbb {Z}_2$
torsion. In this paper, we prove a local version of this result. If the Khovanov homology of a link is supported on two adjacent diagonals over a range of homological gradings and the Khovanov homology satisfies some other mild restrictions, then the Khovanov homology of that link has only
$\mathbb {Z}_2$
torsion over that range of homological gradings. These conditions are then shown to be met by an infinite family of three-braids, strictly containing all three-strand torus links, thus giving a partial answer to Sazdanović and Przytycki’s conjecture that three-braids have only
$\mathbb {Z}_2$
torsion in Khovanov homology. We use these computations and our main theorem to obtain the integral Khovanov homology for all links in this family.

Association of Secondary Health Conditions With Future Chronic Health Conditions Among Persons With Traumatic Spinal Cord Injury
Authors: Cao Yue , DiPiro Nicole , Krause James S.
Published: January 2021

Background:

Secondary health conditions (SHC) are physical and mental health conditions that are causally related to disabilities. Studies have found that SHC increase risk of negative health outcomes among people with traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). However, little has been done to assess the association of SHC with the risk of chronic health conditions (CHC) after TSCI.

Objectives:

To identify the prevalence of CHC in adults with TSCI, changes in CHC at follow-up, and the associations of baseline SHC with future CHC.

Methods:

Participants included 501 adults with TSCI of at least 1-year duration, identified through a population-based surveillance system. Baseline and follow-up self-report assessments were completed. We measured seven SHC: fatigue, spasticity, pain, pressure ulcers, subsequent injury, fracture, and anxiety disorder, and measured seven CHC: diabetes, heart attack, coronary artery disease, stroke, cancer, hypertension, and high blood cholesterol. Control variables included gender, race/ethnicity, age at injury, years post injury, injury severity, smoking status, binge drinking, and taking prescription medication. We implemented a Poisson regression model for the multivariate analyses.

Results:

The total number of CHC, the percentage of participants having at least one CHC, and prevalence of three individual CHC (diabetes, cancer, and high cholesterol) increased from baseline to follow-up. After controlling for demographic, injury characteristics, and behavioral factors, pain interference and anxiety disorder at baseline were associated with the total number of CHC at follow-up.

Conclusion:

CHC are common among adults with TSCI and increase significantly over time. Pain and anxiety disorders appear to be risk factors for future CHC.

Este artigo de revisão de literatura apresenta, inicialmente, a biografia de Benjamin, conforme as observações de Arendt no livro “Homens em tempos sombrios”, destacando a obra sui generis do escritor, sua genialidade e, também, sua má sorte, por assim dizer, em algumas circunstâncias da vida. O artigo é complementado por uma análise do livro “A obra de arte na época de suas técnicas de reprodução”, de Benjamin. As técnicas de reprodução das obras de arte foram ampliadas e aceleradas a partir do século XX. A invenção da fotografia, por exemplo, levou a reprodução da obra de arte às proximidades da perfeição. Falta-lhe, no entanto, segundo Benjamin, a aura de autenticidade, noção discutida na segunda parte deste texto.

The evolution of poverty has been an emerging economic and social phenomenon which poses the attention of national and international government and developmental organizations in Muslim and non-Muslim countries to initiate various strategies and programs for the poverty alleviation. In Islam, it is crucially important to cater for the wellbeing of the people in a society so that it would positively constitute socio-economic development, political stability and religion propagation. This study aims to explore the poverty alleviation measures prescribed in Islam as a collective solution to several calamities. For this purpose, deductive research method is adopted to articulate the major maqassid of Quran and Sunnah in eradicating poverty as the two primary sources of Shariah explicitly and implicitly encompass all the aspects of life most especially the livelihood wellbeing in accordance with Shariah objective of wealth protection. The study is significant as it will revive Muslims’ intuition to refer back to the teachings from the divine sources to ensure socio-economic development and sustainability.
Recognition and Application of Reading Strategies : Case of Tunisian University Learners
Authors: Dallagi Maha
Published: January 2021

Reading is perhaps the most important skill for second language learners in academic contexts (Grabe, 2014; Lynch & Hudson, 1991).  The need to be able to read in English is especially felt at the tertiary level where most of the academic sources are in English.  Yet, Reading is one of the skills that learners often find extremely difficult (Littlewood & Liu, 1996). One major reason for these difficulties is the use of reading strategies and importance of lower-level processes in reading. This study investigated to the choice and frequency of reading strategies by Tunisian tertiary level students (N=147).  It aimed to point out whether variables such as Specialty, Proficiency and Gender correlated with the broad categories of Reading strategies identified by Mokhtari and Sheorey (2002).  Results unveiled little difference between Hard Science and Soft Science majors in their use of Reading strategies.  Statistical analyses demonstrated no relationship between proficiency level, gender, and strategy use.
1878 Berlin Antlaşması Sonrası Bulgaristan ve Şarki Rumeli'de Osmanlı Devleti'nin Türk Dili Politikası Üzerine Bazı Tespitler

Published: January 2021

1877-1878 Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı, Osmanlı Devleti’nin batı sınırları başta olmak üzere Doğu Avrupa’da ve Rumeli coğrafyasında çok büyük siyasal ve sosyal kırılmalara sebep olmuş, Osmanlı Devleti, bu savaş sonunda imzaladığı Yeşilköy (3 Mart 1878) ve daha sonra bu antlaşmanın tadil edilmiş hâli olan Berlin Antlaşması ile (13 Temmuz 1878) Bulgaristan topraklarının büyük bir kısmını kaybetmiştir. Berlin Antlaşması’nın hükümleri gereği Bulgaristan sınırları içerisinde Osmanlı Devleti’ne bağlı özerk bir Bulgar Emareti kurulmuş, yeni teşkil edilen Şarki Rumeli Vilayeti ve yönetimi yine Osmanlı Devleti’ne ait Makedonya bölgesi ile birlikte bölgede üç parçalı siyasi bir yapı ortaya çıkmıştır. Ancak bölge coğrafyasının sorunları bu antlaşma ile çözülmemiş, aksine Bulgaristan coğrafyasında Osmanlı yönetimi altında yüzyıllardır bir arada yaşayan farklı dinî ve etnik gruplar arasında artan milliyetçilik fikrinin de etkisiyle uzun süre devam edecek büyük toplumsal olayların fitili ateşlenmiştir. Zira yeni oluşan siyasal sınırlar ve mevcut sosyokültürel sınırlar arasında tam bir örtüşme oluşmamış, Bulgaristan coğrafyasında yoğun bir şekilde yaşayan Müslüman-Türk nüfus birtakım sorunlarla karşı karşıya kalmıştır. Osmanlı Devleti de Bulgaristan bölgesinde yaşayan Müslüman-Türk nüfusun azınlıkta kalıp yükselen Bulgar milliyetçiliği karşısında asimile olmasının önüne geçmek için bütün siyasi ve diplomatik kanalları zorlamıştır. Osmanlı Devleti’nin bu politikasının taşıyıcı unsurlarından birisi ise Türk dilidir ve Osmanlı Devleti, “Lisan-ı Osmani”yi korumaya yönelik aldığı tedbirlerle Bulgaristan coğrafyasında Türk dilinin bugüne kadar yaşamasının tarihsel temellerini atmıştır. Bu çalışmada arşiv belgelerinden hareketle Osmanlı Devleti’nin Bulgaristan coğrafyasındaki Türk dili politikası üzerine bazı tespit ve değerlendirmelerde bulunulmuştur.

As Ontario expands access to the COVID-19 vaccine beyond the Phase 1 priority populations, strategic planning and execution of mass vaccine rollout will have a significant impact on the health and safety of Ontario’s 14.5 million residents. There are six key elements of Israel’s successful COVID-19 vaccine campaign that can be readily applied to Ontario to expedite and expand the province’s vaccine rollout strategy: a simple vaccine prioritization process; modification to the transport, storage, and distribution of the vaccines; effective communication to promote vaccine confidence; decentralization of vaccination sites; centralized organization through Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) using a fully integrated information technology (IT) system in a universal health care system; and the engagement of community-based personnel, infrastructure, and resources.

In this research, magnesium oxide nanoparticles (MgONPs) was prepared from MgCl2 solution using aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) bark as green agent. Preparation procedure involved mixing of MgCl2.6H2O solution and the aqueous extract of M. oleifera bark, followed by drop wise addition of NaOH solution. The formation of MgONPs in this study was confirmed using UV-Vis absorption. The spherical crystal structure of MgONPs was confirmed by XRD analysis. The average particle size of the synthesized MgONPs was found between 60—100 nm  using  SEM and TEM images and PSA results. The MgONPs synthesized showed good antioxidant activity, as well as antibacterial activity against S. aureus, E. faecalis, E. coli, and S. dysenteriae bacteria.

Authors: Jing Zhou  , Yali Liu  , Sayed Zulfiqar Ali Shah
Published: January 2021

Abstract
Hypertrophic olivary degeneration is a kind of trans-synaptic degeneration, caused by the interruption of dentato rubro olivary pathway. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been the best modality to show the signals of olivary nucleus hypertrophy. It appears on T2?weighted magnetic resonance imaging as hyper-intensities. Here we present a unique case of a 27-year-old male with traumatic brain injury causing multiple intracranial haemorrhages and functional impairment, which was revealed on computerised tomography. Tracheotomy and thoracic drainage were performed immediately. Anti-infection therapy, brain protection, and comprehensive arousal therapy were part of the intervention along with a comprehensive rehabilitation programme including occupational therapy, balance training, coordination, bed mobility training, and strengthening exercises. A holistic diagnostic approach can reduce the chances of misdiagnosing post-traumatic Hypertrophic Olivary Degeneration cases. Continuous...

Published: January 2021

This study is motivated by an analysis of the reality of the multi-party presidential system which is the main aspect of the way back in the governance system in Indonesia, starting from the old order until the reform era in 1998, the plurality structure of the party became a forerunner to the survival of the coalition in the formulation of the Indonesian government cabinet. Consideration that is the prospect of seizing seats in the cabinet coalition is usually focused on the opportunity structure (strategy entry), where the strategy entry refers to the calculation of three important considerations that are political calculations, namely the cost of entering the arena (cost of entry), various benefits (benefits of office), and the possibility of obtaining support from voters (probably of receiving electoral support). In the target of realizing the political goals of the coalition parties, the main approach taken is to develop mutual benefits, namely the benefits of enjoying power. So that in formulating indicators of the success of a democratic country, this study also presents a comparison related to the implementation of a presidential government system in the United States and a parliamentary government system in the United Kingdom that has resulted in a democratic and stable government, as well as realizing a multi-party presidential system as a whole and optimizing dual functions businessman in internal political parties.

Published: January 2021

В статье анализируется уровень импортозависимости российской промышленности применительно к поставкам продукции промежуточного потребления из КНР и в целом из всех стран мира. Исследование выполнялось в период нарастания распространения коронавирусной инфекции с целью определения отраслей, потенциально являющихся наиболее уязвимыми к возможным нарушениям внешней торговли. Информационной базой расчетов являются официальные данные об объемах и структуре внешней торговли России и таблицы «затраты-выпуск» базы данных WIOD. В результате расчетов по нескольким альтернативным моделям установлено, что российская промышленность даже при существенной интеграции в мировые производственные цепочки остается достаточно устойчивой к локальным шокам предложения. Анализ импортозависимости в части импортного сырья и комплектующих может быть использован при исследовании любых шоков внешней торговли, позволяет более точно оценивать эффекты торговых соглашений или санкций, а также эффект девальвации национальной валюты.
