Cama Yazılanlar: Trafik Kültürü İçinde Taşıt Folkloru
Authors: GEZER Seyit
Published: December 2021

Folklorun sadece belli şartların içerisinde üretilmiş metinlerden ibaret olmadığı, sahanın uzmanlarınca folklorun tanımının ne olduğu sorgulanırken ortaya konulmuştur. Bu bağlamda folklor ürünü olarak adlandırılabilecek araba yazıları, insanların kendilerince bilinen bir dille iletişim sağlamasına vesile olmuştur. Bu yazılar, anonim halk şiirinin "düzgü” şekline benzemekteyse de bireysel oluşu ve nesir yapısı bu şekilden ayrılan tarafıdır. Buradan hareketle makalede Kırşehir’de trafik kültürü içerisinde yer alan araçların arka/ön camlarına, bagaj kapaklarına, sağ ve sol kaporta parçalarına, kuşak adı verilen kapı yanlarına, rüzgârlıklarına yazılan yazıları ve resimleri folklorun göstergebilim unsurları arasında değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırma sahası Kırşehir il merkezi ile sınırlı olup elde edilen ürünlerin tamamı bizzat görülmüş ve fotoğraflanmıştır. Veriler elde edilirken katılımsız gözlem tekniği kullanılmış, daha sonraki aşamada tasnif edilmiştir. Tasnif esnasında klasik olanın yerine farklı modeller denenmiş; yazıların olduğu araçların tasnifi, yazılardaki imla kurallarındaki hatalardan grubun eğitim seviyesinin tahmini ve eleştirisi, konunun tematik paragrafla sunumu sonrasında psikolojik gösterge, işlev odaklı açıklamalar ve bağlam merkezli tahlile niçin ihtiyaç duyulacağının gösterilmesi şeklinde açıklamalara yer verilmiştir. Nihayetinde çalışmanın sonraki çalışmalar için örnek olması ve bu tür çalışmaların Türk halk bilimi kürsülerinde yapılmasının gerekliliği vurgulanmıştır.

Development and Implementation of an Opioid Risk-Reduction Strategy
Authors:   , Darmetko Heather
Published: December 2021

Practice Problem: Accidental overdose is a continued concern for those who are prescribed opioids, and it is essential that healthcare members intensify prevention and response measures in order to prevent death or misuse from this medication. PICOT: The PICOT question that guided this project was: “In adult patients at an outpatient chronic pain management clinic (P), how does development and implementation of a safe opioid risk-reduction office policy (I), compared to usual practice (C), improve patient rates of naloxone availability and health literacy (O) over eight weeks (T)?” Evidence: The CDC’s Guideline for Prescribing Opioids for Chronic Pain, the Surgeon General’s Advisory on Naloxone and Opioid Overdose, and the U.S Department of Health and Human Services website were used to gather evidence-based components for information and practice changes. Intervention: This project created a safe opioid risk-reduction strategy in the form of a new office protocol that ensured naloxone was received with instruction on what to do in the event of an overdose or life-threatening respiratory reaction to opioids and other safety information. The providers assessed the change in knowledge by using the teach back method. Outcome: The results showed improvement in the availability of naloxone as a reversal agent as well as increased understanding of safe opioid storage, disposal, and drug interactions. Conclusion: The manuscript reports barriers, successes, and challenges discovered during the project. The recommendations can be applied to other outpatient clinic sites to enhance the safety of all patients who manage their chronic pain with the use of prescription opioids.

Published: December 2021

Las anormalidades cromosómicas son una causa frecuente de morbilidad y mortalidad en la población humana. El análisis de los cromosomas es empleado en la citogenética para evaluar la presencia de defectos genéticos y otras enfermedades por la visualización de la estructura de los mismos. Este procedimiento se realiza mediante la observación de muestras usando un microscopio óptico, lo cual resulta ser largo y repetitivo y deviene gran esfuerzo para los especialistas que deben permanecer, a veces durante horas, observando en el microscopio los campos visuales para emitir un criterio. En este caso, un análisis automático eficaz ayudaría al trabajo rutinario del citogenetista. La clasificación cromosómica automática incluye tres partes principales: el preprocesamiento y la segmentación de las imágenes, la extracción de características y la posterior clasificación. La etapa de segmentación viene a ser una de las más importantes, pues a partir de ella es que se detectan y aíslan cromosomas simples o agrupamientos de cromosomas para realizar el posterior procesamiento. El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo realizar una revisión de diversos métodos utilizados para la segmentación de imágenes de cromosomas humanos. Se resumen algunas de las principales técnicas y métodos empleados recientemente en esta área de investigación y se discuten las principales ventajas y limitaciones de los métodos de segmentación estudiados.
Digital public administration infrastructure and its effectiveness
Authors: Romanenkov Aleksandr Mikhailovich
Published: December 2021

Digital innovation in public administration is critical. It’s necessary to work effectively with the digital resources of public servants. In Russia, successes are observed, requirements for IT competencies of employees, interactive interactions with infrastructure are increased, motivation is updated - the balance of state and corporate interests and the employee. The purpose of the work is a systematic analysis of problems and some solutions with "leadership in results". It’s also relevant to assess the evolutionary potential of infrastructure, not only the requirements of a state institution. The work uses methods of system analysis, decision-making, situational and comparative analysis and others. Our main results are the analysis of key tasks, the solution of which is assigned to the digital infrastructure of public administration. In particular, analysis of monitoring and identification of risk states, anomalies, opening of hidden vulnerabilities, situational forecasting, analytical support, reduction of resource consumption (costs), audit of population satisfaction, quality of work of employees, systematic automation and intellectualization of public administration was carried out. All this supports strategic management, develops performance indicators. A table of professional qualities, the development of competencies of the state manager has been built. The problem of "noises", uncertainties in decision-making is considered, because adaptation to "noise effects" in public administration can be accompanied by an increase in the homogeneity of decision-making employees and an increase in their differentiation, as well as a decrease in their number. The role of institutional, social and personal barriers, motivation, as a balance between the interests of a state institution and an employee, when both are interested in improving internal indicators, as well as involving citizens and organizations in the provision of public services, was noted.
Psychological readiness and ontologies in security of digital multilevel distributed systems
Authors: Kosolapova Olga Aleksandrovna
Published: December 2021

Information, computer environments and systems require not only technological, but also psychological, neuro-linguistic support. The evolution of a digital, competency-based society requires the active introduction of information and communication technologies in all key areas (e-government, e-learning, e-business, etc.). There is also a negative impact of such an evolutionary process, for example, the emergence of IT risks and threats to the individual, society and society. It is also possible to strengthen the information confrontation, hybrid war, "Trojan training", etc. It is very important to ensure the security of multilevel distributed information structures of the digital economy. The article discusses the systemic analysis of this problem, explores some specific aspects and tasks, in particular the use of ontologies and formalization. System-synergistic analysis of psychological readiness and its support by ontological approach was carried out. System objectives of network attacks and psychological influences in conditions of evolution of distributed infological system are revealed. A general model of system security ontology in a formal-semantic and infological form is proposed. Everything is implemented based on the semantics of controlled process metadata (Resource Description Framework), metadata prediction languages (Ontology Language), ontology standards, analytics, "parallelization" of knowledge and updating of knowledge bases, Big Data, Data Mining, Social Mining, Data Centers, multi-agent and other systems.
"Fakes" in social networking media and modeling "fake infection"
Authors: Mikhailova Svetlana Viktorovna
Published: December 2021

The growth of dynamism, the complexity of relationships in social networks requires a systematic approach, the development of mathematical models for forecasting and the identification of fake news in social networks. Otherwise, it is difficult to resist media misinformation, fake news. The problem is urgent, there are more and more opportunities for exchanging "viral" and fake messages in social networks, and we poorly implement monitoring, identifying fake risks. Social networks so far do not allow reliably distinguishing lies from news from aggregator. The purpose of the work is to predict and analyze the system-phase pattern of the spread of fakes in the space of social interactions. "Fakes" are deliberately false, intended for manipulation. In recent years, they are easily distributed in social networks. In the work by methods of the theory of ordinary differential equations, their qualitative analysis, the above problem was full investigated. The study was conducted under assumptions: remote distributors are not allowed to participate in the transmission of fakes; an adult population susceptible to fakes has a constant birth rate; propagation can occur "vertically," wherein the transmission mechanism is introduced into the model by appropriate assumptions about the proportion of susceptible and distributors. The problem is fully investigated (solvability, unambiguity, phase patterns of stable behavior). The work will be useful in the practical identification and prediction of the influence of fake news.
La incertidumbre en Montaigne, Pascal y Unamuno: angustia, aceptación y certeza moral
Authors: Villar Ezcurra Alicia
Published: December 2021

El artículo aborda los modos de vivir la incertidumbre en el caso de Montaigne, Pascal y Unamuno, teniendo en cuenta la lectura que Pascal hizo de Montaigne y Unamuno de Pascal. Montaigne, que denunció las falsas certezas y exploró las contradicciones de la condición humana y del propio yo, finaliza aceptando la limitación y cultiva el arte de saber vivir. Pascal también exploró las ambivalencias de la condición humana, pero, a diferencia de Montaigne, considera que el ser humano no encuentra el sustento en sí mismo, de ahí su referencia a un Dios oculto, certeza incierta. Por último, Unamuno, próximo a la sensibilidad de Pascal, destacó la dolorosa incertidumbre sobre la pervivencia más allá de la muerte. Su San Manuel Bueno, mártir ilustra la apuesta pascaliana: cómo vivir procurando el cuidado y el contento de los demás, a pesar de la incertidumbre citada. En su caso, la congoja orienta su acción y le hace vivir y obrar con extrema generosidad.
CTET+: A Beyond-Birthday-Bound Secure Tweakable Enciphering Scheme Using a Single Pseudorandom Permutation
Authors: Cogliati Benoît , Ethan Jordan , Lallemand Virginie , Lee Byeonghak , Lee Jooyoung , Minier Marine
Published: December 2021

In this work, we propose a construction of 2-round tweakable substitutionpermutation networks using a single secret S-box. This construction is based on non-linear permutation layers using independent round keys, and achieves security beyond the birthday bound in the random permutation model. When instantiated with an n-bit block cipher with ωn-bit keys, the resulting tweakable block cipher, dubbed CTET+, can be viewed as a tweakable enciphering scheme that encrypts ωκ-bit messages for any integer ω ≥ 2 using 5n + κ-bit keys and n-bit tweaks, providing 2n/3-bit security.Compared to the 2-round non-linear SPN analyzed in [CDK+18], we both minimize it by requiring a single permutation, and weaken the requirements on the middle linear layer, allowing better performance. As a result, CTET+ becomes the first tweakable enciphering scheme that provides beyond-birthday-bound security using a single permutation, while its efficiency is still comparable to existing schemes including AES-XTS, EME, XCB and TET. Furthermore, we propose a new tweakable enciphering scheme, dubbed AES6-CTET+, which is an actual instantiation of CTET+ using a reduced round AES block cipher as the underlying secret S-box. Extensivecryptanalysis of this algorithm allows us to claim 127 bits of security.Such tweakable enciphering schemes with huge block sizes become desirable in the context of disk encryption, since processing a whole sector as a single block significantly worsens the granularity for attackers when compared to, for example, AES-XTS, which treats every 16-byte block on the disk independently. Besides, as a huge amount of data is being stored and encrypted at rest under many different keys in clouds, beyond-birthday-bound security will most likely become necessary in the short term.
Processos cognitivos e atividade física: uma análise do desempenho acadêmico na educação básica
Authors: Machado Celso , Soligo Valdecir , Costa Rose Meire
Published: December 2021

A atividade física (AF) propicia inúmeros benefícios à saúde integral, física e mental, do indivíduo e se verificou um declínio na sua prática em jovens de idade escolar, grandemente influenciado pelo estilo de vida contemporâneo que cultua o sedentarismo. Neste sentido, objetivou-se revisar estudos da associação entre AF e desempenho acadêmico (DA) em crianças e adolescentes da educação básica. O método utilizado foi da revisão integrativa e os resultados foram discutidos explorando aspectos da neurociência cognitiva, de forma a possibilitar análises amplas do tema. Na maioria dos estudos a AF exerceu efeitos positivos no DA de estudantes, devido a melhora em funções cognitivas, como atenção, concentração e memória, essenciais ao aprendizado. Cabe destacar que variáveis neuromotoras de força, cardiorrespiratórias, de frequência e intensidade da AF, sexo, entre outras, devem ser consideradas para que se possam estabelecer associações válidas AF e DA. A AF aumenta o metabolismo cerebral e estimula a produção de neurotransmissores e fatores neurotróficos, que favorecem a neuroplasticidade, essenciais na formação de conexões nervosas da memória. Ainda, a AF atua de forma positiva em aspectos psicológicos e comportamentais dos alunos. O conjunto destas ações mostraram o potencial da AF na melhoria do DA de alunos, especialmente os que apresentavam dificuldade de aprendizado. Assim, a AF se apresenta como uma estratégia valiosa na busca do sucesso acadêmico e os conhecimentos fornecem subsídios aos gestores educacionais para reflexões sobre as políticas educacionais da AF nas escolas.

O objetivo deste estudo é analisar a perspectiva de 123 alunas do ensino médio com idades entre 15 e 21 anos em relação ao futsal nas aulas de Educação Física ministradas em duas escolas estaduais da cidade de Corumbá-MS, a partir da compreensão sobre as experiências no futsal. A pesquisa é de natureza quali-quantitativa e utilizou um questionário para buscar informações sobre as significações das meninas sobre o futsal no contexto escolar. Os dados apontam que as mesmas ainda sentem receio ou vergonha em praticar esta modalidade esportiva, com isso, apenas 48% das alunas interrogadas confirmaram participar do futsal durante as aulas. A análise dos dados demonstra que grande parte das meninas não tem espaço/oportunidade no desporto, porém, há um aumento relativo no interesse da prática por parte delas. Considera-se a necessidade do desenvolvimento de práticas pedagógicas para manifestar a inclusão e igualdade no futsal elaborando assim, ações didáticas que sustentem a sistematização de um esporte que supere as barreiras culturais e também os preconceitos ainda emergentes no âmbito esportivo e escolar.

Published: December 2021

Aim Pancreatic cancer is one of the deadliest malignant neoplasms. As with many malignant neoplasms, survival rates depend on the histopathological type of cancer, its stage, tumor size, and treatment. In this study, we aimed to classify pancreatic cancer according to clinicopathological features and histological subtypes. Material and method The data of all adult patients diagnosed and treated for pancreatic neoplasm in our clinic were collected retrospectively from the hospital's computerized database and medical files. Patients were categorized according to their clinicopathological features. Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test were used for between-group comparisons, and t-test was used for independent samples for quantitative data. Data were expressed as mean ± SD for continuous variables and numbers and percentages for categorical variables. A value of p<0.05 was considered significant. Results The mean age of the patients was 60.5 years, 70.8% were male. There were five types of tumors defined histopathologically, and the most common diagnosis was adenocarcinoma (76.9%). The most common localization of the tumor was head and neck (44.4%). Whipple surgery was performed predominantly in 69.2% of patients, and distal pancreatectomy in 29.0%. Postoperative complications were observed in more than one third (34%) of the patients. The main complications were pancreatic cyst (16.3%). In the survival analysis performed with the Kaplan-Meier test, median survival of 30.5 months, and overall survival (OS) at 1.2 and 5 years were 67.8%, 40.5%, and 16.6%, respectively. Discussion However, survival analysis results were optimistic compared to population-based studies as all patients had resectable tumors.

Published: December 2021

Aim: We aimed to investigate how bilateral renal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) damage affects the ovaries as a distant organ and the effects of melatonin (MEL), curcumin (CUR) and melatonin+curcumin (MEL+CUR) treatments on I/R damage. Material and Method: 42 female Wistar rats were used in the study. Rats were divided into 6 groups and study was designed as follows: Control group (G1) – opening and closing the abdomen only (sham surgery group) –, I/R group (G2) – 45 min ischemia followed by 2 h reperfusion –, I/R+MEL group (G3) – 45 min ischemia, intraperitoneal (i.p) 20 mg/kg MEL injection 5 min before reperfusion, followed by 2 h reperfusion –, I/R+CUR group (G4) – 45 min ischemia, 5 min before reperfusion i.p 200 mg/kg CUR injection and then 2 hours reperfusion –, I/R+MEL+CUR group (G5) – 45 min ischemia, 5 min before reperfusion i.p 20 mg/kg MEL and 200 mg/kg CUR injection, followed by 2 hours reperfusion –. At the end of the reperfusion period, the rats were sacrificed. Right ovaries were removed from the peritoneum and fixed. After fixation and follow-up, tissue sections were stained with hematoxylin&eosin (H&E), Periodic acid-Schiff (PAS)+Hematoxylin (PAS+H) and Masson’s trichrome stains. Pathological changes were scored and statistically evaluated. Results: Compared to the control group, there was a decrease in hemorrhage, vascular congestion, follicular degeneration, inflammation, interstitial edema, vasodilation and growing follicle numbers in all groups; these changes were severe in the G2 group; Mild to moderate severity was observed in the G3, G4 and G5 groups. Conclusion: Renal I/R damage significantly affects the ovaries histopathologically. MEL, CUR, and MEL+CUR partially preserve the histological structure, but MEL treatment seems to be more effective than CUR treatment.

Published: December 2021

Objective: In our study, it was aimed to evaluate the relationship between neutrophil/lymphocyte, monocyte/high-density lipoprotein and magnesium/phosphate ratios with endothelial functions in patients with peripheral artery disease. Methods: Sixty patients followed up with peripheral arterial disease were included in this study. Endothelial functions of the patients were evaluated by flow-mediated vasodilation test. Pearson correlation analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between magnesium/phosphate, neutrophil/lymphocyte, monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratios with percent change in flow-mediated vasodilation. Results: 48.3% of the participants are male and 51.7% are female. The mean age of the patients were 66.85±11.08 years. The mean radial artery basal diameter was 0.24±0.02 cm in the flow-mediated vasodilatation test and after the test the mean radial artery diameter was 0.27±0.02 cm(p<0.001). In the flow-mediated dilatation test predicting endothelial functions, the percentage change in arterial diameter was positively correlated with the Magnesium/phosphate ratio (r=-0.326, p=0.011), and negatively correlated with the Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio (respectively r= -0.411, p=0.001; r=-0.530, p=0.001). Conclusion: Magnesium/phosphate ratio, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio and monocyte/high-density lipoprotein ratio can be used to predict endothelial dysfunction in patients with peripheral artery disease.

The average age of the students is 20.12 ± 0.99 years. It was determined that 63% of the students were girls, 43.5% had a low income level and only 4.3% had a chronic disease. The mean score of the students on the COVID-19 Phobia Scale is 51.63 ± 16.15. As a result, it was determined that the COVID-19 phobia levels of the students participating in the study were moderate. In addition, there are important differences between the COVID-19 test status and the COVID-19 phobia scale. In the study, although there were no significant differences in terms of some socio-demographic characteristics (gender, income level and chronic disease status) and COVID-19 phobia, the mean scores of girls, those with low income and those with chronic diseases were found to be high.
Epistemological resistances and the search for alternatives to modernity in intellectual history
Authors: Stromback Dennis
Published: December 2021

The violence of modernity has led to epistemological resistances around the world and the search for alternative ways of reconstructing philosophy. Among the Frankfurt School and early Kyoto School thinkers, for instance, the problem of modernity is framed as an excess of objective rationality, but among the decolonial thinkers of Latin America, the problem is conceptualized as the very myth of modernity itself that has legitimized the colonization and exclusion of non-Europeans. In the search for alternatives modernities, the Kyoto School and Latin American philosophy agree to a vision of inter-civilizational dialogue, which amounts to an engagement of alterity or differences, whereas with the Frankfurt School, albeit struggles to find consensus on how to overcome modernity, aims to merely preclude the problem of reproducing the impulses toward the domination of oneself and others. Nonetheless, all these paradigms have a theoretical point of convergence: that is, since we are all participants of modernity, we are both victims and executioners of its violence, and thus compelled to negate it. This article will discuss how the violence of modernity is experienced, theorized, and then challenged around different continents in order to make visible not just how the violence of modernity is reproduced in different ways but to force ourselves to engage in self-critique in the pursuit to make explicit our own assumptions that repeats the violence of modernity.

Authors: Bambang Irawan
Published: December 2021

Today, the development of information technology allows all needs in the payment system to conduct safely and reliably with the support of blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is currently a concept getting more attention in financial technology (Fintech). This technology combines several computer technologies, including distributed data storage, point-to-point transmission, consensus mechanisms, and encryption algorithms often referred to as cryptography. Currently, various payment methods are available, Direct payment methods via the website, credit cards, automatic debit (Autopay), Mobile / Internet Banking, Non-bank, E-commerce, and E-wallet. All of the above payment systems still require a third party as a guarantor for the transactions made. Another problem that arises is a notification of bill dues to consumers, using conventional media in letters, emails, and notices of short message service (SMS), which allows consumers to miss the given deadline. It could cause the service to terminate. Blockchain technology is currently still considered an innovation that disrupts the world of banking and the internet. However, because this technology is a breakthrough major in data storage and information transmission, it will fundamentally change the global financial and economic operating model towards new technologies and industrial transformation in the financial industry. Current consumer bill payment methods use conventional banking systems, and notification systems for payment deadlines are less efficient; we propose a payment system with blockchain technology and the internet of things (IoT) to solve the current problem.
