Authors: Yazıcı Aybüke , Ünal Sevim
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The aim of this study was was to compare the effectiveness and outcomes of non-invasive ventilation (NIV) methods in neonates diagnosed with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTI).
Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted in neonates with LRTI treated with high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC), nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP), or nasal intermittent positive pressure ventilation (NIPPV) in the neonatal intensive care unit. Method failure was defined as switching to another NIV method within 6 hours based on clinical and laboratory findings. The groups were compared for clinical and laboratory findings, length of hospital stay, outcomes, success rates, and complications.
Results: One hundred and six neonates were included with a median gestational age of 38 weeks and birth weight of 2991±673 g. Downes scores at admission were significantly higher in the NCPAP group than in the others. The HFNC group had better of blood pH and CO2 levels but had a higher rate of treatment failure. NCPAP was associated with the highest success rate (86.8%), followed by NIPPV (78.7%) and HFNC (52.4%). The length of hospital stay was shorter in patients successfully treated with NCPAP and NIPPV. According to the logistic regression analysis, NIPPV significantly reduced the risk of failure compared to HFNC.
Conclusion: NIPPV and NCPAP were more effective than HFNC in the management of neonatal LRTI with shorter hospital stay. HFNC may be effective in stabilizing baseline respiratory parameters in the management of neonatal LRTI.

Aydın İlinde Sığır ve Küçükbaş Hayvanlarda Refah: 2-Taşımada refah algısı
ÖZET: Türkiye’de hayvan taşımacılığı oldukça yoğun olup hayvan refahını olumsuz etkileyen önemli faktörlerden biridir. Aydın ili kapsamında 139 veteriner hekim ile gerçekleştirilen anket çalışması üzerinden hayvan nakillerinde hayvan refahını incelemek, nakillere yönelik yasal düzenlemeleri de dikkate alarak konuyu değerlendirmek amacıyla 2020 yılında bu çalışma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Katılımcıların %81.3’ü nakillerin kısmen veya tamamen hayvanlar için travmatik bir dönem olduğunu bildirmiştir. Nakillerdeki önemli stres kaynaklarının sırasıyla araçta yeterli alanın olmaması (%96.4), nakil mesafe ve süresi (%89.9), nakil araçlarının özellikleri (%88.5), hayvanların araçlarına yüklenmesi-indirilmesi (%72.7) ile yol-iklim koşulları (%59) olduğu saptanmıştır. Nakilde refahın sağlanması, hayvanların gittikleri yere uyum (%96.4) yanı sıra gösterecekleri performans (%79.2) açısından da önemli bulunmuştur. Hayvan refahı konusunda yasal düzenlemelerin yürürlüğe konmasıyla birlikte yetiştiricilerin bu konuda daha duyarlı oldukları (%64.1), böylece kısmen de olsa refahın güvence altına alındığı (%69.1), nakliye sonrası duyulan olumsuzlukların azaldığı (%71.9) ifade edilmiştir. Ayrıca nakillerde kullanılan vasıtaların donanımlarının genellikle yeterli olduğu (%54.7) ama yetersiz bulanların da azımsanmayacak bir düzey gösterdiği (%45.3), taşımaların genellikle (%94) karayolu ile gerçekleştiği ve 4 saatten az sürdüğü (%59) saptanmıştır. Bununla birlikte özellikle 8 saati aşan taşımalarda ek mevzuatlar nedeniyle refah durumuna daha fazla özen gösterilmesi gerekliliği ortaya çıkmıştır. Tüm bu nedenlerle hayvan nakillerinin refah standartlarında gerçekleşmesi ancak ilgili tüm tarafların bu konuda eğitilmeleri ve uygulamaların yetkililerce yeterli denetlenmesi ile mümkün olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır.

Authors: Aydın Yıldız , Babacan Yunus
Published: December 2024

One of the types of forgery performed on digital images is copy and paste forgery (CPS). This type of forgery is realized by pasting another region copied from the same image over the relevant region of the image. It is very important to determine whether there is any forgery on these images, which can be used as evidence in many fields. In this study, an analysis on forgery detection is performed using HOG (Histogram of Oriented Gradients), LBP (Local Binary Patterns), and Multiscale Basic Features (MBF) features for block-based copy-paste forgery detection. The performance of various features alone and in combination is evaluated. Combinations such as HOG+LBP, HOG+MBF and MBF+LBP were tried, but the expected performance improvement was not achieved. Although the performance increase is not very high, the highest results are generally obtained with the LBP+MBF hybrid feature This approach resulted in an F1 score of 88.5%. This study contributes to existing methods in the field of block-based forgery detection and demonstrates the effectiveness of various feature combinations. In addition, although HOG and LBP features are frequently used in block-based approaches, approaches using the MBF feature have not been found in the literature. This study contributes to the existing methods in the field of block-based forgery detection and shows the effectiveness of various features and feature combinations.

Authors: Je Yuri , Choi Seokho , Cho Han-Jin , Park Young-Eun
Published: December 2024

Spinal cord infarction that exclusively affects the conus medullaris is exceptionally rare. The dominant symptoms include flaccid paraparesis, sensory deficits with or without saddle anesthesia, and neurogenic bladder, all of which mimic cauda equina syndrome. We report two cases where patients initially presented with sudden onset of leg monoparesis, sensory deficits, and voiding difficulties. Although initially suspected of having lumbosacral radiculopathy or cauda equina syndrome, they were later diagnosed with conus medullaris infarction, as evidenced by their clinical course and spine magnetic resonance imaging findings. This report provides detailed clinical information about conus medullaris infarction, supplemented by a review of the literature, to aid in the diagnosis of this condition.

Authors: Berry J. , Fair C. G. , Braman S. K.
Published: December 2024

Pollination by bees plays a critical role in the viability of life on this planet from food crop productivity to biodiversity of ecosystems; however, their populations, globally, are in decline. Contributing factors include pesticides, climate change, diseases, and invasives, but most notable, are habitat degradation and fragmentation due to agricultural intensification and urbanization. Research has shown that conservation and restoration of land can help to restore bee abundance and diversity. One opportunity to establish habitat which will attract and provide resources for bees is eroded lands. Recommendation for restoration of eroded land usually includes planting with a number of quick growing native and non-native grasses, which do little for bee conservation. In our study, we incorporated floral resources into an erosion mitigation seed mix specifically selected for their ability to attract bees and thrive in the Piedmont region of Georgia. Plots that incorporated these flowering plants had a greater abundance, richness, and diversity of bees compared with those plots that only contained grass. Bees were 30 times more abundant in wildflower-enhanced plots. Of the flowering plants selected, the ones that survived and bloomed well were Rudbeckia hirta L. (Black-eyed Susan), Chamaecrista fasciculata (Michaux) Greene (partridge pea), Eryngium yuccifolium Michaux (rattlesnake master), Pycnanthemum muticum (Michaux) Persoon (mountain mint), and Coreopsis lanceolata (L.) R. Brown (Lanceleaf coreopsis). The most numerous bees collected by direct observation capture “bee to flower” or cross plot sweep netting “sweeps” were in the genera Lasioglossum, Halictus, and Bombus.

Published: December 2024

This study focuses on optimizing the sensory properties of smoked catfish (Clarias gariepinus) produced under specific processing conditions. The research investigates how different heat sources, fish thicknesses, and drying methods affect key sensory properties such as aroma, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. By employing a multi-objective optimization approach, the study evaluates the trade-offs between different processing parameters to determine the most effective techniques for producing high-quality smoked catfish. The results show that electric heating provides the best balance between fish thickness and aroma consistency, while charcoal-based methods, particularly air blower-assisted charcoal, provide better texture but a more variable aroma outcome. The findings provide valuable insight for manufacturers seeking to optimize sensory properties and assist in decision-making when selecting appropriate processing techniques to improve product quality.

It is ideally adapted to tropical and subtropical environments around the world. Temperature has a major role in synchronizing its invasion and life cycle since it does not go into diapause. Methods: An investigation was conducted, to examine the life-history parameters of fall armyworm (FAW), Spodoptera frugiperda Smith fed with maize foliage at five different temperatures viz.,18, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40±1°C, under 14 hr light and 10 hr dark cycle maintained inside a BOD incubator. Result: Results revealed an inverse relation between developmental stages of eggs, larvae and pupae and growing temperatures, wherein the fastest growth occurred at 35°C and no development was observed at 40°C. Maximum percentage hatchability was noticed at 25°C (94.2%), while it decreased both at higher and lower temperatures. The larval developmental duration decreased from 34.08 days at 18°C to 10.06 days at 35°C. The duration of pupal development was also minimum at 35°C, taking 7.22 days. Adult longevity decreased linearly with an increase in temperature where females outlived males at all temperatures except at 18°C. The thermal constants for development were estimated at 45.92 (egg), 245.34 (larvae), 169.64 (pupae) and 466.06 degree days (total).

Authors: Obalola Musa A. , Azeez Fatimo
Published: December 2024

Business leaders no longer view risks as a mere hazard to be avoided but also as opportunities that should be exploited. Thus, risk itself is not bad, but the bad things are risks that were mismanaged, misunderstood, misplaced, or unintended. This study was carried out to examine the influence of risk financing on the financial performance of banking institutions in Nigeria. Risk financing was examined through the lens of risk transfer proxy as insurance, risk hedging, and risk diversification while performance was measured using profitability (Return on Asset), liquidity (liquidity ratio), and shareholder’s value (Return on Equity). The study adopted an ex post facto research design. The focused on deposit money banks licensed with international authorization by the Central Bank of Nigeria due to their wide range of expertise and experience. These banks are 8 in number and they were all observed in the study. Panel data was drawn from the financial statements of the selected banks for the period of 12 years (2012 – 2022). The Autoregressive Distributive Lag (ADRL) regression analysis was employed to analyze the data after the test for stationarity using the Panel Unit root test methods indicated a mix of stationarity. The study presented a long-run and short-run effect of all three risk financing mechanisms on the financial performance of selected banks in Nigeria. It was observed from the study among others that the risk transfer mechanism using insurance has a negative long-run influence on the financial performance of banks in Nigeria and recommends that alternative means of risk financing should be explored.

Indonesia is known as a multicultural nation because of the diversity of cultures, races, religions, and ethnicities within it. This diversity becomes a special and harmonious thing when one can accept it with an open mind. However, it can be a boomerang if the thought of diversity cannot be accepted and leans to focus on its own culture, race, religion, or ethnicity without seeing the differences implied in the surrounding life. Leaning on one's own thoughts without seeing and trying to know others can cause division and even hostility. Diversity that was originally special because of the peacefulness of differences becomes a place to debate and blame each other because there is no sense of acceptance. Often religious differences become a matter of endless debate as well as cultures that are often alluded to far from religious values are also debated and blamed for each other's beliefs. Therefore, religious moderation comes as a middle way to lead someone to think moderately or can be called neutral thinking.

Nowadays, depression is a type of psychiatric disorder that is most often experienced by people. Some people with symptoms of depression choose to go to a psychologist/psychiatrist to undergo treatment with prescription ‘anti-depressant drugs’ where all these chemicals have side effects on the patient’s health. In this case, Islam provides an alternative to these anti-depressants by practicing the essence of ‘Tombo Ati’ song by Sunan Bonang. This study uses the Asrarul Ahkam as a branch of science. That is proof that each of these Islamic syari’ah exists to safeguard religion, mind, soul, lineage (heredity) and protect property. In other words, the dimension of Islamic law is not limited to spiritualism/metaphysics. However, Islamic shari’ah can cover material dimensions, science and other worldly matters. This study aims to break the behavioral dichotomy between science and spiritual values in psychiatric treatment, especially depressive disorders in patients using the essence of Asrarul Ahkam in the song ‘Tombo Ati’ which contains, among other things: Medicine for the heart, there are 5 cases, reading the Qur'an and its meaning, night prayers, zikr at night, gathering with righteous people and fasting orders. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method and library research techniques to collect data. The results of the study show that some Sufistic psychotherapists who practice this have achieved effective results in reducing depression, stress and other mental disorders so that the essence of ‘Tombo Ati’ song is worthy of being an alternative option so that depressed patients are not addicted to anti-depressants.
