Authors: DOĞAN Bayram
Published: December 2023

Kişisel verilerin korunması hakkı, tarihi açıdan yakın bir geçmişte ortaya çıkmış bir haktır. Buna rağmen her gün gelişen ve değişen dünyanın etkisiyle hak ve özgürlükler arasında çok önemli bir konuma gelmiştir. Türkiye’de de kişisel verilerin korunması hakkı dünyadaki gelişmelere paralel olarak hızlı bir gelişim göstermiştir. Kişisel verilerin korunması hakkı, 1982 Anayasası’nda 7.5.2010 günü 5982 sayılı “Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Anayasası’nın Bazı Maddelerinde Değişiklik Yapılması Hakkında Kanun” ile müstakil bir anayasal hak olarak güvence altına alınmıştır. Basın hürriyeti ise kişisel verilerin korunması hakkından daha eski bir tarihe sahip olmakla birlikte gücünün gün geçtikçe artmasına bağlı olarak temel hak ve özgürlükler arasında denge sağlanması adına sınırlanması önem arz etmektedir. Zira her temel hak ve özgürlükte olduğu gibi kişisel verilerin korunması hakkı ile basın hürriyetinin de birtakım sınırları bulunmaktadır. Bu sınırlar hakkın doğal sınırlarından kaynaklanabileceği gibi hakka dışarıdan yapılan bir müdahale neticesinde ya da hakların birbiri ile çatışması sonucunda da söz konusu olabilir. Çalışmada kişisel verilerin korunması hakkı ile basın hürriyetinin sınırlarını, olağan dönemde sınırlandırılması ve pratik uyuşum çerçevesinde hakların birbiriyle çatışması durumu incelenecektir.

Authors: ÖNEN Özgür , ERYILMAZ BALLI Funda
Published: December 2023

Although the discussions on the care responsibilities of preschool teachers have been going on for years, it has flared up during the pandemic process. For that reason, the aim of the current study is set to examine in depth the views of preschool teachers and parents of preschool students on the caregiver role of preschool education. This research was designed as phenomenological research, one of the qualitative approaches. The purposeful sampling was used to determine the participants. In the research semi-structured interview form is used for gathering data and the data analyzed by content analysis. As a result, while parents emphasized the need for care for their children, preschool teachers also stated that they were aware of the group they worked with and served for a group in need of care. The point that creates problems about the care situation is that teachers are viewed as caregivers and approached to their work in this way. In the research, it was inferred by the statements of preschool teachers that this is not related to the concept of "caregiver", and that the "caregiver" job is a very difficult, self-sacrificing, and demanding profession, but it is not their only job.

Authors: Choubey Dr. N. S
Published: December 2023

Abstract— Chest X-rays have been a crucial diagnostic tool in detecting pneumonia. The disease manifests as inflammation and filling of the air spaces within the lungs, leading to changes in the appearance of the lungs on X-rays. In recent times, advances in computer vision and machine learning have allowed for the development of automated systems for pneumonia detection using chest X-rays. These systems leverage deep learning techniques to analyze X-ray images and identify patterns associated with pneumonia. The use of these systems can aid in early diagnosis and prompt treatment, potentially leading to improved patient outcomes. Despite their promise, there are still challenges to be addressed, including the need for large and diverse datasets for training and the need for further validation of these systems in real-world settings. Nevertheless, the development of automated pneumonia detection systems using chest X-rays has the potential to revolutionize the field of radiology and improve patient care. Index Terms—Pneumonia; artificial intelligence; machine learning; image processing; convolutional neural network; chest x-rays.

Authors: Bucha Sourabh , Gupta Shreya
Published: December 2023

Code generation has become a potent asset in software development, streamlining repetitive tasks and empowering developers to focus on higher-level priorities. Despite the remarkable progress of existing models, their training datasets often lack real-world context and a diverse array of code examples. This paper introduces an innovative code generation approach by harnessing Stack Overflow answers and GitHub Gists. Stack Overflow furnishes comprehensive contextual information around code snippets, while Gists offer a curated compilation of tailored solutions to specific problems. We hypothesize that merging these datasets will result in models generating code that is more akin to human-like, task-oriented, and efficient solutions. Our experiments affirm that this proposed approach surpasses baseline models trained on conventional code repositories, showcasing substantial advancements across several critical metrics. Additionally, we delve into an analysis of the generated code, emphasizing its heightened readability, maintainability, and applicability to specific tasks. Finally, we discuss the limitations encountered and chart potential future trajectories for this research, aiming to pave the way for even more robust and practical code generation models.

Authors: V Bhadhra , N Asha P
Published: December 2023

Sandhana Kalpana is regarded as valuable therapeutics due to their efficacy and desirable features. Ashtashathoarishta is one among them explained in Ayurvedic classics. It is an arishta preparation explained by Acharya Charaka in the treatment of Shopha with a specified kala for sandhanaprakriya. The time required for fermentation is said to vary according to ushnakala (7 days) & sheethakala (14 days). The main ingredients of Ashtashathoarishta include Kashmarya, Haritaki, Vibhitaki, Amalaki, Maricha, Pippali, Drakshaphala and Purana guda. Ashtashathoarishta is kept for Sandhana in madhulipthabhajana although most Asava-arishtas are kept in gritha-lipthabhajana. Generally, dhatakipushpa acts as sandhanadravya but in case of Ashtashathoarishta as Acharaya Charaka has not mentioned about any sandhanadravyas separately, Drakshaphala, purana guda and madhu serves its function. Objective of this research was to compare the Pharmaceuticoanalytical study of AshtashathoArishta prepared in ushna kala and sheeta kala. Total 12 samples (three samples of each withsandhana kala of 7 days and 14 days in both ushna and sheeta kala) will be prepared. Samples were tested forpharmaceutical and physico chemical parameters. On the basis of organoleptic study and analytical values of the samples, a comparison is done. All the samples of Ashtashathoarishta were analytically compared. The fermentation process is faster in ushna kala than in sheeta kala. The properties of the samples also vary in both the kalas. This revealed that the kala has a major role in the fermentation process.
The Interaction of Immune System in Tumour Microenvironment and Possible Role of Cancer Cell Immnunosensitization for Better Treatment Efficacy: A Review

Unlike haematologic malignant cells which express cell surface common antigens uniformly and are susceptible to targeted cancer immunotherapy, solid tumours either lack such antigens or have been mutated due to chemotherapy or other therapeutic interventions. Moreover, rapidly dividing tumour cells present complex and dynamic tumour metabolism, which hampers immune cells' reactivity against the tumour cells. Hence solid tumours other than immune-sensitive cancers such as melanoma and renal cell carcinoma are less responsive towards current cellular immunotherapy strategies, including cytokine therapy, dendritic cell-based vaccines, and immune-activating antibodies. Nonetheless, emerging evidence supports combined approaches that target immunosuppressive or antiapoptotic molecules, involving sensitization of the cancer cells by immunosensitizing drugs to express specific ligands that will be recognized by the immune cells via trafficking.

Glutathione is the body’s most abundant endogenous non-enzymatic antioxidant and is used as a substrate for free radical scavenging in the body, especially during ethanol metabolism. This study aims to shift the paradigm of using glutathione as a whitening agent into a potent antioxidant for therapy, particularly for ethanol-induced teratogenesis in the Philippines. Zebrafish embryos were treated with glutathione at various time points of ethanol exposure and concentration. Pre-treatments, co-treatments, and post-treatments with 100 μM glutathione solution were done to assess the most appropriate time point for glutathione intake upon exposure of the embryo to ethanol. Eye diameter and otic vesicle diameter were chosen as morphological parameters because dysmorphogenesis of these organs resembles mammalian fetal alcohol syndrome disorders. For eye diameter, alleviation of microphthalmia by glutathione was seen in pre-treatment (1% ethanol only) and post-treatment (1% & 1.5%) while co-treatment did not exhibit rescue for eye diameter reduction. For otic vesicle diameter, pre- and co-treatment with glutathione did not exhibit any changes in size but post-treatment showed abnormal enlargement suggesting possible teratogenic effect across all ethanol concentrations. The 2,2-diphenylpicryl-1-hydrazine (DPPH) assay was used as a confirmatory test for the free radical scavenging activity (FRSA) of treated tissues. Pre-treatment with GSH at 1% ethanol showed the highest FRSA while post-treatment showed FRSA insignificantly different to controls. This study suggests that glutathione can alleviate oxidative stress in embryo development which may lead to dysmorphogenesis and that supplementation before and after ethanol exposure may be a viable form of therapy for ethanol-induced teratogenesis.

Alyxia reinwardtii Blume (Pulasari) Apocynaceae is being widely used as a traditional medicine in treating various illnesses due to its phenolic, coumarins, lignans, iridoid glycosides alkaloids and flavonoids content. These compounds in A. reinwardtii were reported to be useful as medicinal and agricultural potentials. Hence, A. reinwardtii meets the rationale for antioxidant and antibacterial studies to replace synthetic substances using different solvents on the leaves and stem of A. reinwardtii using cold maceration. The Folin-Ciocalteu reagent assay was used to estimate the phenolic content of extracts. The total flavonoid content was determined using aluminum chloride. The antioxidant capacity of the samples was evaluated by 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical and Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay. Disc Diffusion Assay (DDA), Minimum Inhibitory Concentration (MIC), and Minimum Bactericidal Concentration (MBC) were conducted to evaluate the antibacterial activity of Escherichia coli and Bacillus cereus growth. Methanol was determined as the most effective solvent due to the highest crude yield obtained, (19.47 ± 2.80 %). Acetone showed the highest TPC content (170.44 ± 10.99 mg GAE/g) while hexane showed the highest TFC content (2957 ± 91.24 mg QE/g). Moreover, for DPPH, methanol inhibited the highest antioxidant (75.81 ± 12.62 %) and hexane for FRAP assay (2278.89 ± 69.47 mg AAE/g). Hexane extract is potentially effective with variable efficiency with DDA (11.17 ± 4.48 mm) while methanol extracts with MIC (0.63 μg/mL) and MBC (2.50 μg/mL) against E. coli. The results indicated that methanolic and hexane extract using cold maceration showed optimum antioxidant and antibacterial activity. The present study advocates that A. reinwardtii was a source of substantial antioxidant and antibacterial agents for potential pharmaceutical applications.

Published: December 2023

This study investigated the mosquito-repelling ability of folkloric indigenous plants by phytochemical extraction using three distinct methods. The phytochemical composition and antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated using thin-layer chromatography. The average powder weights of Citrus maxima (CM), Eleocharisdulcis plantaginea (EP), and Thespesia populnea (TP) were 154.33, 156.67, and 153.78 mg/g dry weight, respectively, and are substantially different from the other ten species (p=0.05). However, this technique did not affect the extract yield. The region of interest (ROI) values for the antioxidant activity of these three species were 328.9, 924.0, and 735.0, respectively. The repellent activities of the CM, TP, and EP extracts were significantly lower than those of DEET; however, the repellent activities of the mixed extract did not differ (p=0.05). This study found that indigenous plants commonly used in the region have mosquito-repellant and antioxidant properties. Combining the three extracts would yield the same activity as DEET, an ingredient used in commercial mosquito repellents.

Published: December 2023

Germination of two rice landraces, namely Bario Sederhana and Biris, was determined from twelve temperatures (12.5 – 40 ºC) in a series of incubation experiments. The cardinal temperatures and thermal time for germination were estimated from a ‘broken-stick’ linear model. Both landraces had a Tb of 10 ºC, Topt between 32 – 33 ºC, and Tmax of 43 ºC. At the sub-optimal temperatures, the thermal time for germination was 62 ºCd for Bario Sederhana and 53 ºCd for Biris. Within the supra-optimal range (Topt to Tmax), both landraces required 27-29 ºCd for seed germination. The maximum final germination for Bario Sederhana was 93% at 30 ºC while Biris had 100% seeds population germinated at 27.5 ºC.

Cocoa pod husks (CPH) are usually disposed of from the farm, and this can lead to environmental problems, such as being a breeding ground for the cocoa pod borer. This study aimed to determine the nutritional composition and concentration of ultra-trace elements (As, Cd, Pb & Hg) in CPH. The optimization of the extraction conditions of CPH in response to the ferric-reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) by using response surface methodology (RSM) was also conducted. The findings show that the total carbohydrate and crude fibre content of CPH are high (35.75% & 35.47%, respectively) while having low levels of moisture, ash, crude protein, and fat (11.86%. 8.60%, 7.46% & 0.86, respectively). In addition, the results demonstrate that CPH has a low content of toxic metals As, Cd, Pb, and Hg (0.0046 mg/kg, 0.0028 mg/kg, 0.0011 mg/kg & 0.00003 mg/kg respectively) which is considered as a safe range. The optimized extraction conditions were a solvent concentration of 93.64%, a temperature of 38.18°C, and a time of 73.64 min. The actual value of the flavonoid content of CPH obtained was 1038.94 µmoL Fe2+/L, which is acceptable compared to the predicted value of 1039.40 µmoL Fe2+/L. The discovery from this research represents a significant contribution towards finding cocoa pod husk from a plentiful, affordable, and feasible source, which could potentially be used in various fields such as pharmaceutical, medical, and nutraceuticals.

Developing co-cultivation systems involving microalgae and fungi has shown promising potential for microalgae harvesting technology. As discussed in this review, the co-cultivation of microalgae and fungi has emerged as a novel approach for enhancing biomass and lipid production, wastewater treatment, biofuel production, and high-value products. However, despite being used for a few years, this technique is still in its early stages of development and has yet to be widely applied in the industry. The main challenges associated with co-cultivation include designing effective cultivation systems, managing nutrient requirements, selecting compatible strains, and implementing contamination control measures. In this study, bibliometric analysis was conducted (using the Web of Science database) to examine global trends and developments in microalgae-fungi co-cultivation research between 2014 and 2023, which aimed to identify the research progression, prominent contributors, and leading countries in the research field. The dataset comprised 682 articles, 242 reviews, 31 book chapters, and 22 conference papers. The results showed a rapid increment of publications with China as an active nation in this research area, followed by India, the USA, Italy, Spain, etc. As demonstrated in this study, the immense potential of co-cultivation techniques suggests further exploration, particularly in employing different microalgae species with exceptional characteristics in conjunction with non-pathogenic and edible fungi for profitable industrialization.

Obesiti meningkatkan risiko gangguan proses spermatogenesis yang boleh mengakibatkan penurunan kesuburan lelaki. Hibiscus sabdariffa merupakan tumbuhan yang mampu mengurangkan jumlah lipid dalam darah haiwan. Penggunaan ekstrak akua kaliks H. sabdariffa sebagai peningkat parameter kesuburan lelaki masih kurang jelas. Oleh itu, kajian ini menggunakan tikus jantan aruhan obesiti sebagai model haiwan bagi mengenal pasti kesan ekstrak akua kaliks H. sabdariffa dalam memulihkan masalah kesuburan jantan di samping bertindak sebagai agen anti-obesiti. Sebanyak 36 ekor tikus jantan Sprague Dawley dibahagikan kepada dua kumpulan utama iaitu kumpulan kawalan dan kumpulan rawatan yang setiapnya terdiri daripada enam ekor tikus.  Kumpulan kawalan terdiri daripada kumpulan normal, negatif (tikus teraruh obesiti tanpa rawatan) dan positif (tikus teraruh obesiti yang diberi 10 mg/kg berat tubuh orlistat).  Kumpulan rawatan ekstrak akua kaliks H. sabdariffa pula dibahagi kepada tiga iaitu Hs100 (100 mg/kg berat tubuh), Hs200 (200 mg/kg berat tubuh) dan Hs300 (300 mg/kg berat tubuh) selama 14 hari tempoh rawatan. Semua tikus kajian kecuali kumpulan normal diaruh obesiti dengan diberi diet tinggi lemak (HFD) sehingga mencapai nilai indeks Lee melebihi 310. Tikus kumpulan rawatan Hs100, Hs200 dan Hs300 yang diberi ekstrak akua kaliks H. sabdariffa mengikut dos masing-masing menunjukkan penurunan berat badan yang signifikan (p<0.05) berbanding kumpulan negatif. Analisis kuantiti sperma dalam kumpulan rawatan Hs100 menunjukkan peningkatan secara signifikan (p<0.05) berbanding kumpulan normal dan negatif.  Analisis histologi testis juga menunjukkan ekstrak akua kaliks H. sabdariffa pada kumpulan rawatan membantu memperbaiki struktur tubul seminiferus dengan kepadatan spermatozoa yang tinggi pada lumen serta peningkatan berat testis dan diameter tubul seminiferus berbanding kumpulan kawalan normal dan kawalan negatif.  Kesimpulannya, rawatan ekstrak akua kaliks H. sabdariffa iaitu Hs100 merupakan dos optimum yang mampu meningkatkan parameter kesuburan berbanding kumpulan rawatan normal dan kawalan negatif, serta mempunyai kesan anti-obesiti pada tikus jantan teraruh obesiti.
