Risk Probability of Having a Metabolic Disorder Induced Cancer (GH-Method: MPM) NO. 263
Authors: C. HSU GERALD
Published: January 2021

Cancer is an exceedingly difficult and complicated disease that can affect any organ
within the body, where abnormal cells divide and mutate rapidly, and destroying
healthy normal cells in the process. The possible cause of cancer can result from a
combination of many different reasons. The author has dedicated the past decade on
researching endocrinology and metabolism. He considers that both endocrinology
and cancer are quite similar from the viewpoint of “digging into the black box”.
However, based on his rudimentary understanding of cancer, he also feels that the
diseases caused by cancer are probably at least 10 times more complicated than
endocrinology. Although he is not an oncology expert, only a veteran and research
scientist on chronic diseases and metabolism, he still has a strong curiosity and
motivation in wanting to know what his own risk probability of having cancer is.
This reason inspires his cancer research work by using his strength of metabolism
knowledge to conduct his assessment on the relationship between metabolism and
cancer.
Postprandial plasma glucose segmentation analysis of influences from diet and exercise between the preCOVID-19 and COVID-19 periods (No. 321)
Authors: C. HSU GERALD
Published: January 2021

In this paper, the author describes the special segmentation analysis of impact on his
post-prandial plasma glucose (PPG) via diet and exercise during the pre-COVID-19,
from 5/5/2018 - 1/18/2019, and COVID-19, from 1/19/2020 - 8/28/2020, periods.
He segmented his carbs/sugar intake amount and post-meal walking step into
two ranges, low range and high range, for two periods, respectively. Initially, he
calculates their associated PPG values for each range of input data, then he compares
these two segmented outcomes against the total results from the combined periods.

Evaluation of Serum Tumor Markers Variation, Following The Radioactive Iodine Therapy in Patients with Differentiated Thyroid Cancer
Authors: Niknamian Sorush
Published: January 2021

Introduction: Radioactive iodine is the effective therapy in thyroid cancer. The aim
of this study is to evaluate the serum tumor markers in patients under the therapy
with radioactive iodine 131.
Material and Methods: 45 cases of female patients aged 16-60 years with thyroid
cancer surgery referred to the nuclear medicine department of Nemazi hospital for
(iodine treatment after surgery) were selected. The selection was on the basis of
interviewing and information of patients is consent forms. Only patients with thyroid
cancer and referred for the first time without any other diseases were chosen for this
study. The selected patients were prescribed a dose of 150 m Ci of I-131. From each
patient, 4 mL of chelated serum for serological studies on tumor markers and 2 mL
of oxalated serum for spectrophotometry studies on cell death were used in three
stages. The first stage before the iodine therapy, the second stage, after 48 hours, and
the third stage, 30 days after radioiodine therapy were studied and the results were
evaluated by the one-way repeated measures ANOVA test.
Results: According to the results of dependent paired T-Test, AFP, in the periods
before, 48 hours and 1 month after radioiodine therapy, respectively were 3.46 ± 1.21
and 3.74 ± 1.37 and 3.76 ± 1.25 (p <0.0005). About CA 19-9 in the periods before,
48 hours and one month after radioiodine therapy, the results were 9.30 ± 6.32, 9.95
± 6.92 (p = 0.040) and 11.26 ± 7.49 (p <0.0005) respectively. About CEA, the results
were 1.60 ± 0.60, 1.47 ± 0.55 and 2.23 ± 0.69 (p <0.0005), respectively. In the case
of tumor marker CA 15-3 results were 15.53 ± 6.48 and 1.60 ± 0.60 and 15.68 ± 6.52
(p = 0.014), respectively and in the case of ALP, results were 124.22 ± 5 and 122.2 ±
6 and 116.7 ± 7 (p <0.0005), respectively.
Conclusion: According to the same studies and the acquired results, it can be
concluded that the tumor markers CEA and CA19-9 are more acceptable and
sustainable for monitoring the malignancy and progressive disease in patients with
thyroid cancer. The decreasing ALP is normal and transient. The increase of AFP and
CA15-3 is not even statistically reliable. It is recommended that the period of iodine
therapy and falsely elevated tumor markers can be informed to the doctor, during
the gastrointestinal studies in patients with thyroid cancer, in order to prevent wrong
decisions on the treatment process.

Longitudinal Analysis of Australian Filicide Perpetration Trends: Filicide in Victoria, 1860–1920
Authors: Nagy Victoria Maria , Rychner Georgina
Published: January 2021

The historical examination of filicide in Australia is limited and often focuses on case studies of maternal filicides. Longitudinal trends of Australian filicide offending have focused almost exclusively on the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Our study aims to fill a gap in Australian criminological knowledge about filicide. Utilising prison and Supreme Court records from 1860 and 1920, we plot the extent of filicide offending by men and women in Victoria to create a more comprehensive picture of filicide perpetration. This study also tests whether identified motives and risk factors for filicide today can be applied to historical data, to make these data accessible to criminologists studying filicide in the twenty-first century.
The Village Says “No”: Why Online ADR is Not (Yet) Working in Rural India
Authors: Clammer John , Byrne Matthew John
Published: January 2021

This paper argues that online dispute resolution (ODR) has not been readily accepted in India’s rural hinterlands. This field study involved a trip to a “typical rural village” in North India with a population of approximately 3,000 people. Barriers to acceptance include IT literacy and connectivity, English language platforms and learning resources, reliance on and preference for village-based dispute-resolution systems, mistrust of external authority, lack of awareness of the benefits of ODR, and gender and cultural issues. We find that some villagers may be interested in ODR, but its adaption requires not only outlining the advantages of ODR but also creating a sense of ownership and managing resistance to outsiders. This could be done by providing training to groups likely to benefit from ODR, including youth, women, and NGOs. The case study also has theoretical implications for the study of comparative access to legal services, the relationship between concepts of rights and local concepts of morality, and for the persistence of social structure and “traditional” means of dispute resolution despite the possibility of access to “modern” forms of legal services.

Authors: Çelebi Bektaş Adalet , Eroğlu Çakmakoğlu Ezgi
Published: January 2021

The Covid-19 virus appearing in Wuhan in December, 2019 and acting by binding to ACE-2 receptors in the respiratory system has caused many people to die by spreading to the whole world. The virus, which has been detected to spread faster than SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV viruses, spreads from person to person rapidly.  People should not be together because it is transmitted from person to person through the respiratory tract.  For this reason, it is recommended not to go to health institutions, provided that it is not urgent.  However, many emergency patients go to dental clinics and hospitals for treatment. In this review; with possible contamination routes of Covid-19 such as airborne spread, contact spread and contaminated surface spread during patient diagnosis and treatment to prevent Covid-19 contamination, methods preventing spread such as hand hygiene, personal protective measures for dentists, intraoral rubber dam before dental procedures were indicated. It was also mentioned that the fast rotating tool with valves having negative pressure should be used and most importantly, the materials used in the dental clinic should be disposed in accordance with medical waste protocol.

Antibacterial and antifungal activity of an MTA-Based root canal sealer versus epoxy resin-based and methacrylate resin-based sealers
Authors: Türkyılmaz Ali , Erdemir Ali
Published: January 2021

Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the antibacterial and antifungal activity of MTA Fillapex with AH 26, AH Plus, and RealSeal root canal sealers. S. aureus, E. faecalis, and C. albicans were used as test microorganisms with the agar-diffusion test (ADT) and the direct contact test (DCT).  

Methodology: For the ADT, 48 Mueller-Hinton plates were divided into 3 groups according to the microorganism used. Each group was then divided into 4 subgroups according to root canal sealer. Mueller-Hinton and Sabouraud agar mediums were preferred, and inhibition zones were measured to determine the antimicrobial efficacy at designated intervals. In the DCT, 96-well microtiter plates were used. For each microorganism and each sealer, 8 consecutive wells were prepared vertically on the plate. Microbial suspensions were allowed to directly contact the sealers in each well for 1 hour at 37°C. Subsequently, microbial growth was spectrophotometrically measured at set intervals for the freshly mixed and set forms.

Results: A statistically significant difference was found between the tested root canal sealers for antimicrobial effectiveness (p < 0.05). According to the ADT results, all sealers had antimicrobial activity against the tested microorganisms. MTA Fillapex demonstrated satisfying results in the ADT against all microorganisms. In the DCT, MTA Fillapex inhibited bacterial and fungal growth in all freshly mixed and set forms. However, the set forms of AH 26 and AH Plus began to lose their antimicrobial activity on the tested microorganisms after a while.

Conclusion: The results showed that the MTA-based root canal sealer MTA Fillapex may be a favorable alternative sealer against bacterial and/or fungal species in clinical practice.

Investigation of microleakage of polymerized with LED and halogen light devices four different restorative materials
Authors: Günay Ayşe , Tümen Emin Caner
Published: January 2021

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the in vitro effects on microleakage of LED and halogen light devices used in the polymerization of monomer structure composite resins of different viscosities and inorganic filling particle size applied to standard class V cavities in primary teeth.

Methodology: 80 non caries primary molar teeth with standard class v cavity on the buccal surfaces were used. The teeth were randomly divided into 4 main groups and restored with composite resins (Herculite® XRV, Ultra™, Filtek™ Silorane, Vertise™ Flow, Æliteflo™). Each group was divided into 2 sub-groups for polymerization with LED or halogen light devices. Following the thermal cycle and subsequent procedures, the dye penetration method was used to evaluate microleakage. The microleakage scores were evaluated using the Kruskal-Wallis and Mann-Whitney U-tests.

Results: According to the results of the statistical analysis, in polymerization made with halogen and LED light devices at the occlusal edge, the microleakage scores from lowest to highest were as follows: Filtek™ Silorane < Herculite® XRV Ultra™ < Æliteflo™ < Vertise™ Flow. In polymerization made with halogen and LED light devices at the gingival edge, the microleakage scores from lowest to highest were as follows: Filtek™ Silorane < Herculite® XRV Ultr™ < Vertise™ Flow < Æliteflo™.

Conclusion: In the polymerizations made by using LED and halogen light devices, Herculite® XRV Ultra™, was found to be successful as it showed similar values to Filtek™ Silorane, which gave the best results in terms of microleakage. Moreover, as we have reached similar findings in our thesis study in respect of microleakage, in cases indicating the use of flow composite resin materials such as Æliteflo™, Vertise™ Flow can be used as it has the advantage of ease application and thus provide an ideal alternative in pediatric dentistry.

Authors: Karayürek Fatih , Arpağ Osman Fatih
Published: January 2021

Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of in-office and home-based products in the prevention of dentinal hypersensitivity on dentin discs.

Methodology: Ninety-six dentin disc samples of 1 mm were divided equally into six groups as follows: TeethmateTM, Smartprotect®, novamin®, Arginine calcium carbonate, potassium oxalate with rinse and saline (control). After acid etching, test agents were applied, and eight samples in each group were subjected to citric acid. SEM examination (3000x) and statistical analysis were carried out.

Results: Before citric acid challenge, novamin® and teethmate had superiority when compared to others (p<0.001), but there was no a statistical difference between novamin® and teethmate. After citric acid challenge, teethmate and smartprotect showed resistance on occluded tubules. The decreasing in the level of occluded tubules in novamin® group was statistically significant (p<0.05). In-office products including teethmate and smartprotect were found more successful compared to home-based products. Smartprotect resisted against to citric acid (0.506).

Conclusion: Novamin® showed a successful occlusion in all tubules before acid challenge whereas; it was the most unsuccessful group after acid challenge when compared to other agents. In-office agents were found to be more successful in reducing dentine permeability than home-care products. In-office agents showed more resistance to acid attacks. Further studies are needed to assess the efficacy of desensitizer agents.

The effects of periapical lesion healing on bone density
Authors: Akın Tartuk Gizem , Tekin Bulut Elçin
Published: January 2021

Operative dental procedures may promote pulpal infections, such as tooth cavity, trauma and teeth abrasion, anaerobic microorganism colonization causing total pulp necrosis, and periapical lesions that result in bone destruction in the periapical region. Periapical radiographs are important tools for identifying periapical pathologies. However, given that the imaging system shows three-dimensional formations in two dimensions, the knowledge about the actual size of the lesion and the real relationship with the anatomic structures is limited. These limitations force clinicians to choose the high resolution and current imaging methods that show all the details of the oral structures, such as conic beam computed tomography (CBCT). CBCT is a highly effective diagnostic device for early period bone lesion detection in which the gray value for bone density is measured in Hounsfield unit (HU). Other than using CBCT, bone mineral density measurement can be done to assess the healing of existing lesions. When the periapical lesion is healing, a series of formation and destruction processes follow each other. On the one hand, mediators and tissues that must be removed from the region are destroyed by host defense cells; on the other hand, cells included in the repair process provide new tissue generation and remodelling to provide the pre-disease anatomic properties in the lesion region. This review discusses recent studies using current three-dimensional imaging methods, compared with traditional methods for bone damage due to periapical lesion formation and healing after suitable treatment. This study aims to investigate the advantages and shortcomings of existing treatment and diagnosis approaches in endodontic periradicular lesion diagnosis and treatment. The findings highlight promising diagnosis and treatment tools and suggest the expansion of minimally invasive approaches to eliminate the problems in periapical lesions.

Hatta az kullandıkları veya artık hiç kullanmadıkları uygulamaları bile cihazlarından kaldırmamaktadırlar. Bu da mobil uygulamalara olan ihtiyaç ve bağlılığı göstermesi açısından önemlidir. Bireyler mobil cihazlarında kullanmak istedikleri programları indirme faaliyetini gerçekleştirirken, indirme yaptıkları uygulamalar bazı özel izinler talep etmektedir. Bu izinlerin bazıları uygulamanın çalışması için gerekli izinler iken bazıları tehlikeli özel yaşamın gizliliğini ihlal eden izinler arasındadır. Her uygulamanın istediği izinler birbirinden farklıdır. Takvim, kamera, rehber, konum bilgisi, telefona gelen çağrılar, mikrofon, mesajlara erişim ve depolama ayarları gibi birçok izin uygulama izni olarak talep edilmektedir. Bu izinler verilmediği durumda da uygulamalar çalışmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, bireylerin uygulama izinleri ile ilgili farkındalıkları ve davranış pratikleri araştırılmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı, bireylerin yükledikleri programlara bu izinleri verip vermediği ve bu izinlerin tehlikelerinden haberdar olup olmama durumlarını tespit etmektir. Bu bağlamda erişim kolaylığı göz önünde bulundurularak örneklem olarak Kocaeli Üniversitesi İletişim Fakültesi öğrencileri tercih edilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında %95 güven düzeyi ve %6 hata payı ile 246 öğrenciden anket tekniği ile veri toplanmıştır. Elde edilen 246 veriden 218’i araştırmaya dahil edilirken 28 anket geçersiz sayılmıştır.
Personal Names as Evidence for Migrants and Migration in Medieval England
Authors: McClure Peter
Published: January 2021

This chapter examines the extent to which given names (birth names) and second names (bynames and hereditary surnames) can reliably indicate the origins or ethnicity of individual migrants between the ninth and the fifteen centuries, and how such names may be used en masse to reveal migration patterns, whether they reflect military conquest, international trade or population movements within England itself. Particular attention is given to the names of Vikings, Normans, Flemings and Jews, among others, and to questions of social class and gender. A central theme is the sometimes complex, ambiguous or incomplete nature of the data and the need for a discriminating methodology in which onomastics(the study of names),historical linguistics and prosopography (the collective study of individuals’ lives) are seen as complementary disciplines, acting as checks and balances on each other’s conclusions.
Village or Town? Did It Matter for Making Wills in Roman Egypt?
Authors: Nowak Maria
Published: January 2021

This chapter examines whether and in what ways legal practice differed in villages and metropoleis in Roman Egypt. A key question that will be asked if whether people living in villages and metroploeis could access the same legal instrumenta and if so, whether this involved higher costs for villagers. The focus will be the wills, since in both Roman law and local legal practice this type of document required a certain level of solemnity and had original character in comparison with other legal deeds.

Markedsliggørelsens markedsføring - Neoliberale ekspert-, rådgivnings og lobbynetværker
Authors: Plehwe Dieter , Schmelzer Matthias , Jensen Jacob
Published: January 2021

This article takes stock of the current literature on neoliberalism and discusses its conceptual benefits, challenges, and avenues for further research. In particular, the article focuses on the transnational network around the Mont Pèlerin Society (MPS) and its activities in marketing the marketization of formerly non-market spheres. Rather than taking for granted pre-existing shared norms, interests, and principled beliefs, this focus helps us understanding the importance of long-term transnational intellectual efforts to develop, shape, prioritize, and generalize specific perspectives and preferences that predated the societal changes associated with the neoliberal ‘counter-revolution’ against planning and the de-commodification of the welfare state. After setting out key advantages of this research agenda, the article provides a rough sketch of the MPS, its structures, evolution, and transnational think tank network. The article ends with a short example of such a transnational network approach in studying the unmaking of the Bretton Woods monetary system.
Almensvellets affortryllelse - Neoliberale anfægtelser af det fælles bedste
Authors: Jensen Jacob
Published: January 2021

This article revisits the origins of neoliberalism, arguing that it arose in the socialist calculation debates in the 1920s and 1930s. In these debates, Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich von Hayek contested socialist conceptions of the public interest, claiming that the market’s price mechanism was far better able to represent the many diffe-rent preferences that a modern mass society consists of. The market, they stressed, was far more efficient at coordinating the economy than state planners who would never be able to calculate or aggregate the necessary data on people’s preferences, which was required to direct markets. This contestation of the common good, the article argues, has been a mainstay throughout neoliberalism’s intellectual history, serving as the revolving point of post-war analyses of government failure.
Tidlig neoliberalisme
Authors: Schulz-forberg Hagen
Published: January 2021

This article maps the early conceptual and institutional history of neoliberalism, arguing that the social question was of vital importance to the ideology’s early de-velopment in the 1930s. This has been overlooked in recent intellectual histories of neoliberalism, which focus primarily on the post-war period. Those who have ventured into the prehistory of neoliberalism have primarily focused on the neoliberal acceptance of stronger state intervention in the economy, but without contextualizing this shift against the background of the social question. In addition, the article explores another overlooked dimension of early neoliberalism, namely the transnational institutional efforts that were indispensable to the foundation of the neoliberal network.
Ulighed for alle - Ulighedspersepktiver i neoliberalismen fra 1930'erne til i dag
Authors: Skov Andersen Rasmus
Published: January 2021

By exploring the ways in which inequality has been represented in neoliberal ideology and how neoliberal views of inequality have changed, this article illuminates some essential discrepancies and contradictory beliefs in the neoliberal thought collective. The paper argues that the views of inequality underwent fundamental changes from the early neoliberals of the interwar period to the later neoliberals of the post-War era. These changes are in part understood by different conceptions of liberty, the relation between the state and the market, and beliefs about the public interest. The early neoliberals problematized the relation between inequality andpower, which they saw as a potential threat to the credibility of the fundamental freedom rights upholding the democratic society. This changed with the late neoli-berals, for whom inequality became a value in itself, connected to liberal notions of competition, diversity, and progress. Inequality was now to be celebrated, repre-sented, and measured as a sign of the free society and the well-functioning market.
Neoliberalismen som dominerende makroøkonomisk diskurs
Authors: Jespersen Jesper
Published: January 2021

This paper demonstrates that mainstream General Equilibrium Models (GEM) are dominated by neoliberal ideology. These mathematical models are pre-designed to always converging full-employment equilibrium and private-sector equilibrium. The behavioural equations are derived from the assumption of individual utility and profit maximization and the rational expectation (full foresight) hypothesis. Accordingly, policy recommendations consistent with GEM are neoliberal as they advocate (1) avoiding demand management; (2) balancing the public sector’s (structural) budget; and (3) leaving monetary policy to an independent central bank with responsibility for price stability; while (4) distributional and environmental consequences for production are considered irrelevant. This is illustrated by examples from the Danish macroeconomic environment where GEM (ADAM and DREAM) employed by the Treasury and the Council of Economic Advisors are dominant when it comes to medium and long-term policy recommendations. Finally, the article challenges this logic and objective foundation of mainstream macroeconomics.
Entreprenøren som figur under neoliberalismen - Kapitalisme, individ og velfærdsorganisering
Authors: Li Langergaard Luise
Published: January 2021

The article explores the central role of the entrepreneur in neoliberalism. It demonstrates how a displacement and a broadening of the concept of the entrepreneur occur in the neoliberal interpretation of the entrepreneur compared to Schumpeter’s economic innovation theory. From being a specific economic figure with a particular delimited function the entrepreneur is reinterpreted as, on the one hand, a particular type of subject, the entrepreneur of the self, and on the other, an ism, entrepreneurialism, which permeates individuals, society, and institutions. Entrepreneurialism is discussed as a movement of the economic into previously non-economic domains, such as the welfare state and society. Social entrepreneurship is an example of this in relation to solutions to social welfare problems. This can, on the one hand, be understood as an extension of the neoliberal understanding of the entrepreneur, but it also, in certain interpretations, resists the neoliberal understanding of economy and society.

TRACING HEROES OF THE DANISH WEST INDIES – HEROES AND HEROINES OF THE DANISH WEST INDIES 

There are not a lot of heroes connected to the history of the sugar colony in the Danish West Indies. From a Danish perspective, the story of the Danish governor general Peter von Scholten as the liberator of the enslaved African-Caribbeans of the West Indies has traditionally been the most established narrative. However, this narrative of the colonial power giving freedom to the enslaved, is being contested by competing narratives of heroes and heroines fighting for - and ultimately taking – their freedom. The article focuses on the narratives of the enslaved freedom fighter General Buddhoe, the plantation worker and rebel leader Mary Thomas and on the labour union leader David Hamilton Jackson, and advocates their canonisation even in a Danish context.
Grammar of Giants
Authors: Puggaard Rasmus
Published: January 2021

It is a common process of language change for free morphemes to become bound morphemes, but the inverse process (termed ‘debonding’ by Norde 2009) is much rarer. Previous studies have found that lexemes with the original meaning ‘giant’ (German Riesen, Dutch reuze) have historically grammaticalized as prefixes, and subsequently debonded into free morphemes with the same bleached meaning as the prefixes (Van Goethem & Hiligsmann 2014; Norde & Van Goethem 2014). Using a synchronic corpus of written Danish (KorpusDK), this paper shows that the Danish word kæmpe, originally ‘giant’, is in the late stages of a similar process of debonding. By investigating the morphological and syntactic patterning of kæmpe, the paper shows that kæmpe has indeed debonded, and occurs as a free-standing semantically bleached adjective, but that it does not yet exhibit fully prototypical adjectival behavior. All three functions of kæmpe remain in use: a noun with the specific meaning ‘giant’, a semantically bleached prefix, and a corresponding semantically bleached adjective. This would argue against an account relying on abrupt category change, and it is proposed that kæmpe has reached its current status through gradual analogy-driven change.
Singular de and its referential use in talk-in-interaction
Authors: Miltersen Ehm Hjorth
Published: January 2021

The Danish pronoun de and its inflections are traditionally described as 3rd person plural, but, as this article demonstrates, it is also used as a gender neutral 3rd person singular pronoun. As this pronoun – termed singular de – has not been documented or described in the literature thus far, the purpose of this article is to provide a grammatical description and analysis of singular de and its referential use in interaction. This is based on 104 occurrences of singular de in naturally occurring conversation. It is found that singular de is used with both generic and specific reference, and that interlocutors may use singular de to avoid indexing gender and orienting to it as a relevant topic in talk-in- interaction (gender-unspecified reference) or to index the referent’s gender as neither male nor female (gender-specified reference). The article also parallels between singular de and English singular they, as well as sociolinguistic variation in the use of singular de which could be topics for future studies.
Systemic Functional Grammar Analysis of News Reports of Li Wenliang Incident
Authors: Lihan Kang
Published: January 2021

Based on a report on Dr. Li Wenliang in the British mainstream BBC media under the epidemic of Covid-2019, this paper analyzes from three perspectives guided by Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar: transitivity, mood and personal pronoun. It is found that the material process appears most frequently which shows that the news reports mainly reproduce the event process. The second is the verbal process, which shows that news reports are good at making use of multi-channel speech sources to enhance the authority and objectivity of reports. The third is the relational process and psychological process, which reflects the subtlety of news report content and the concealment of attitude. This paper reveals the ideological direction implied in the news reports through seemingly neutral and objective reports, aiming at providing reference for readers in the process of reading Chinese and foreign political discourse.
