Modelling of Air Passenger Transportation in Russia
Authors: Sushko O. P.
Published: July 2023

The use of economic and mathematical methods of forecasting the results of activities of civil aviation organisations, and in particular assessment of the volume of air passenger traffic is quite relevant due to the importance of operational planning of air transport processes, development of strategic directions, technological and technical renewal of air enterprises.

The objective of the study is to plan the traffic flow of air passengers using a regression model, considering the results of multifactorial selection of determinants, particularly distinguishing fundamental macro indicators are distinguished, as well as significant indicators of the aviation market.

The study of passenger air transportation was carried out using methods of system analysis, methods of mathematical statistics and econometrics. Modelling of the process of passenger transportation has identified the main determinants that positively or negatively affect the dynamics of air passenger traffic. The multiple regression of the study of the processes of connectivity and synchronicity of changes in development of passenger traffic and selected macro indicators in a generalised form is the sum of vectors of influencing variables adjusted for the calculated coefficients.

Six-, four- and three-factor regression models were developed. The three-factor model turned to be more reliable with values most close to actual data. Nevertheless, while applying regression model for forecasting air traffic it is necessary to consider not only theoretical aspects, data of official forecasts of macro indicators but expert opinions as well.
Associations between shared book reading, daily screen time and infants’ vocabulary size
Authors: Rosslund Audun , Kartushina Natalia , Mayor Julien
Published: July 2023

In the current pre-registered study, we examined the associations between shared book reading, daily screen time, and vocabulary size in 1,442 12- and 24-month-old Norwegian infants. Our results demonstrate a positive association between shared reading and vocabulary in both age groups, and a negative association between screen time and vocabulary in 24-month-olds. Exploratory analyses revealed that the positive relationship between shared reading and expressive vocabulary in 12-month-olds was stronger in lower SES groups, suggesting that shared reading may act as a compensatory mechanism attenuating potentially impoverished learning environment and parent-infant interactions in low-SES families.

Published: July 2023

Purpose:

This study collected data about the current awareness and use of stroke rehabilitation interventions among a Canadian sample of PTs as a foundational step towards future endeavours to inform the translation of rehabilitation research literature into practice.

Method:

Participants were recruited from health care centres providing stroke rehabilitation to patients in each of the 10 provinces across Canada. Physiotherapists who provided direct rehabilitative care to individuals after a stroke, were 18+ years old, and could read and write in English completed an electronic survey. Questions asked about therapists’ work setting, patient demographics, how they stay up-to-date, and their awareness and use of stroke rehabilitation interventions.

Results:

One hundred seventy five individuals (female = 82.9%) mainly from Ontario and Alberta (57.7%) were included. Therapists had high awareness and use of non-technological, peripherally-applied interventions (e.g., task-specific training, trunk training, overground walking). Except for mirror therapy and bilateral arm training, therapists had low or no awareness and use of brain priming interventions with or without a technological component.

Conclusions:

Therapists had low awareness and use of interventions which fall outside of standard education and training. This is an important area for future research on initiatives to increase knowledge translation and implementation into clinical practice.

Published: July 2023

Tomatoes and pepper are inevitable ingredients in food preparation and the need to minimize their losses cannot be over-emphasized. Matured red tomato, pepper and turmeric sourced locally were cleaned, sliced (10-15 mm) and dried using vacuum oven (60 oC for 14 h). Fresh blends of tomato, pepper and turmeric (RBA and RBB) and dried blends of tomato, pepper and turmeric (DBA and DBB) samples were analyzed for proximate, selected minerals, vitamin, phytochemical and sensory properties. Moisture, ash, protein, fat, fiber and carbohydrate content in DBA was 18.26 %, 11.95 %, 14.31 %, 3.77 %, 3.08 % and 48.89 %; and 16.80 %, 14.78 %, 13.04 %, 4.28 %, 3.21 % and 51.41 % in DBB. Calcium and iron content in DBA was 102.63 mg/100g and 78.90 mg/100g; while in DBB, 114.25 mg/100g and 81.35 mg/100g respectively. However, dried samples had no significant difference in magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc content (p ˃ 0.05). Ascorbic acid and β-carotene in DBA and DBB was 73.90 mg/100g and 66.48 mg/100g; and 71.28 mg/100g and 59.27 mg/100g respectively. Carotenoids, phenol and flavonoids in DBA and DBB were 510.38 mg/100g, 425.60 mg/100g and 1040.88 mg/100g; and 512.86 mg/100g, 429.10 mg/100g and 1035.26 mg/100g respectively. Inclusion of turmeric improves phytochemical properties of the blends and enhances consumer acceptability.

Emotions as emergent properties
Authors: Walsh Elena
Published: July 2023

In recent decades, affective scientists have begun using concepts and tools from dynamical systems theory (DST) to characterise emotional processes. This article considers how the concept of emergence might be used to develop this approach. Emotions are explicated as  ‘emergent products’ that diachronically constrain the operations of their parts in virtue of feedback loops (a classical feature of nonlinear dynamical systems). The explication is shown to be broadly consistent with what is sometimes called ‘pattern’ emergence. Casting emotions as emergent patterns is shown to shed light on a major conceptual and empirical challenge emotion theorists have faced over the past century: identifying and measuring the presence of emotional episodes (Lindquist et al., 2012; Hollenstein & Lanteigne, 2014), dubbed here the ‘boundary problem’ (following Colombetti, 2014). In particular, the explication suggests seeing the emotional ‘signatures’ thought to accompany emotional episodes as fragile and context-bound: likely to hold under a relevant class of interventions (Woodward, 2005), but not without exception beyond that class. This in turn may suggest a need to significantly revise the statistical methods currently used to measure the presence of emotional ‘signatures’. The casting of emotions as emergent patterns also functions as a further case study supporting the value of ‘pattern emergence’ (Winning & Bechtel, 2019) as a powerful vehicle for characterising the objects of investigation — compound and context-sensitive — ubiquitous in the biological sciences.

Ocean biodiversity loss is being driven by several anthropogenic threats and significant efforts are required to halt losses and promote healthy marine ecosystems. The establishment of a network of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) can help restrict damaging activities and have been recognised as a potential solution to aid marine conservation. When managed correctly they can deliver both ecological and socio-economic benefits. In recent times, MPA designations have increased rapidly while many countries have set future MPA targets for the decades ahead. An integral element of MPA management is adequate monitoring that collects data to assess if conservation objectives are being achieved. Data acquired by monitoring can vary widely as can the techniques employed to collect such data. Ideally, non-destructive and non-invasive methods are preferred to prevent damage to habitats and species, though this may rule out a number of traditional extractive sampling approaches such as dredges and trawls. Moreover, advances in ocean observation technologies enable the collection of large amounts of data at high resolutions, while automated data processing is beginning to make analyses more logistically feasible and less time-consuming. Therefore, developments to existing marine monitoring techniques and new emerging technologies have led to a diverse array of options when choosing to implement an MPA monitoring programme. Here, we present a review of new and existing non-extractive techniques which can be applied to MPA monitoring. We summarise their capabilities, applications, advantages, limitations and possible future developments. The review is intended to aid MPA managers and researchers in determining the suitability of available monitoring techniques based on data requirements and site conditions.
Case series: Heinz body formation in 13 multimorbid dogs following metamizole administration
Authors: Geisen Vera , Hartmann Katrin , Dörfelt René
Published: July 2023

Background

Heinz Body (HB) anemia is a result of oxidative damage and is an uncommon condition in dogs relative to cats. In this retrospective case series, clinical features, laboratory values, concurrent diseases, and outcomes of 13 multimorbid dogs that developed HBs after receiving metamizole are reported.

Case description

Of the 13 dogs in this case series that developed HBs, 10 were older and multimorbid, but the only feature that all the dogs had in common was receiving metamizole. HBs were detected in 7 out of 13 dogs within a few days (3–10 days) after starting metamizole treatment. The metamizole dose was 38–159 mg/kg/day. The highest percentage of HBs detected was 28–95% (mean, 46%). There was no correlation between the percentage of HBs and the daily dose of metamizole. All but 1 dog had mild-to-severe anemia at the time of the highest HB appearance. The number of HBs did not correlate with the hematocrit at that time. In 8/12 dogs, no stress leukogram was present. Approximately half of the dogs with HBs also had evidence of gastrointestinal hemorrhage, which could have masked additional oxidative damage.

Conclusion

In multimorbid dogs that develop regenerative anemia after receiving metamizole, hemolysis due to HB development caused by oxidative damage should be considered as an important differential diagnosis.

Published: July 2023

Although the morphological features and functions of adipose tissue are well-described in obesity-prone animal models, less information is available on animals such as the stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive (SHRSP) strain with cardiovascular abnormalities, which is not characterized by excessive adiposity. Our aim was to focus on lifestyle-induced (type of diet and physical exercise) effects on adipokine profile and lipid peroxidation in SHRSP rats. In our study, male Wistar-kyoto (control) and SHRSP rats were used. SHRSP rats were fed either standard chow or a high-fat diet with 40% fat content (HFD). One group of the animals was placed into cages fitted with a running-wheel; thus, the dietary and training period started at the same time and lasted for 12 weeks. At the end of the experimental period, adiponectin, leptin, omentin, and chemerin concentrations were determined from adipose tissue and serum. Besides adipokines, malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were also measured. Twelve weeks of HFD significantly decreased adiponectin and omentin concentrations of both adipose tissue and serum, which were ameliorated by physical exercise. Serum leptin, chemerin, and MDA values were elevated in HFD groups; however, physical exercise was able to mitigate these adverse changes. Our results underpin the crosstalk between lifestyle changes and dysfunctional adipose tissue in SHRSP rats.
The Utility of Fine Needle Aspiration (FNA) Biopsy in the Diagnosis of Mediastinal Lesions
Authors: Kundu Uma , Gan Qiong , Donthi Deepak , Sneige Nour
Published: July 2023

Fine needle aspiration is a minimally invasive, low-morbidity, and cost-efficient technique for the sampling of mediastinal lesions. Additionally, ancillary testing on FNA samples can be used for the refinement of diagnoses and for treatment-related purposes (flow cytometry, cytogenetics, immunohistochemistry, and molecular diagnostics). Mediastinal lesions, however, can show a variety of lineages and morphologic features, giving rise to diagnostic dilemmas. As a result, the differential diagnosis can vary widely and becomes especially challenging due to the smaller sample size on FNA and the variability in component sampling. For appropriate patient management and to determine the correct treatment strategies, accurate pathologic diagnoses are paramount. In this review, we present the cytomorphologic features together with the immunophenotypic findings of mediastinal lesions, with emphasis on the diagnostic challenges and pitfalls in FNA cytology samples, including smears and cell block sections.

Published: July 2023

To identify the volatile flavor components in mustard paste (MP), the volatile compounds in seven MPs available on the market were isolated and analyzed by headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. A total of 27 volatile constituents were found by mass spectra and retention index compared to the data obtained from reference compounds or the related literature and databases; these compounds included nine esters, three sulfur-containing compounds, two nitriles, three ketones, three alkenes, and seven other compounds. Of the 27 compounds, 6 compounds came from the turmeric added to MPs. Among the components detected, some compounds derived from AITC were allyl thiocyanate, carbon disulfide, allyl mercaptan, diallyl sulfide, and diallyl disulfide. The results obtained provide a better and comprehensive recognition of the volatile flavor compounds in MPs, and have some reference values for developing and applying isothiocyanate compounds.

Published: July 2023

In this work, we carried out the design and synthesis of new chimeric compounds from the natural cytotoxic chalcone 2′,4′-dihydroxychalcone (2′,4′-DHC, A) in combination with cinnamic acids. For this purpose, a descriptive and predictive quantitative structure–activity relationship (QSAR) model was developed to study the chimeric compounds’ anti-cancer activities against human breast cancer MCF-7, relying on the presence or absence of structural motifs in the chalcone structure, like in a Free-Wilson approach. For this, we used 207 chalcone derivatives with a great variety of structural modifications over the α and β rings, such as halogens (F, Cl, and Br), heterocyclic rings (piperazine, piperidine, pyridine, etc.), and hydroxyl and methoxy groups. The multilinear equation was obtained by the genetic algorithm technique, using logIC50 as a dependent variable and molecular descriptors (constitutional, topological, functional group count, atom-centered fragments, and molecular properties) as independent variables, with acceptable statistical parameter values (R2 = 86.93, Q2LMO = 82.578, Q2BOOT = 80.436, and Q2EXT = 80.226), which supports the predictive ability of the model. Considering the aromatic and planar nature of the chalcone and cinnamic acid cores, a structural-specific QSAR model was developed by incorporating geometrical descriptors into the previous general QSAR model, again, with acceptable parameters (R2 = 85.554, Q2LMO = 80.534, Q2BOOT = 78.186, and Q2EXT = 79.41). Employing this new QSAR model over the natural parent chalcone 2′,4′-DHC (A) and the chimeric compound 2′-hydroxy,4′-cinnamate chalcone (B), the predicted cytotoxic activity was achieved with values of 55.95 and 17.86 µM, respectively. Therefore, to corroborate the predicted cytotoxic activity compounds A and B were synthesized by two- and three-step reactions. The structures were confirmed by 1H and 13C NMR and ESI+MS analysis and further evaluated in vitro against HepG2, Hep3B (liver), A-549 (lung), MCF-7 (breast), and CasKi (cervical) human cancer cell lines. The results showed IC50 values of 11.89, 10.27, 56.75, 14.86, and 29.72 µM, respectively, for the chimeric cinnamate chalcone B. Finally, we employed B as a molecular scaffold for the generation of cinnamate candidates (C–K), which incorporated structural motifs that enhance the cytotoxic activity (pyridine ring, halogens, and methoxy groups) according to our QSAR model. ADME/tox in silico analysis showed that the synthesized compounds A and B, as well as the proposed chalcones C and G, are the best candidates with adequate drug-likeness properties. From all these results, we propose B (as a molecular scaffold) and our two QSAR models as reliable tools for the generation of anti-cancer compounds over the MCF-7 cell line.
A Study of Greek Graviera Cheese by NMR-Based Metabolomics
Authors: Ralli Evangelia , Spyros Apostolos
Published: July 2023

Graviera is a very popular yellow hard cheese produced in mainland Greece and the Aegean islands, and in three PDO (protected denomination of origin) locations. Apart from geographic location, type of milk and production practices are also factors that affect cheese composition, and make this dairy product unique in taste and aroma. In this work, 1H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy in combination with chemometrics has been used to determine the metabolite profile (40 compounds) of graviera cheese produced in different geographic locations, with emphasis on cheeses produced on the island of Crete. Organic acids and amino acids were the main components quantified in the polar cheese fraction, while the fatty acid (FA) composition of the lipid fraction was also obtained. Analysis of variance (Anova) of the dataset showed that γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), conjugated linoleic acids (CLA) and linoleic acid differentiate gravieras produced in different areas of Crete, and that the total amino acid content was higher in cheeses produced in eastern Crete. Targeted discriminant analysis models classified gravieras produced in mainland Greece, Cyclades and Crete based on differences in 1,2-diglycerides, sterols, GABA and FA composition. Targeted and untargeted orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) models were capable of differentiating gravieras produced in the island of Crete and hold promise as the basis for the authentication of PDO graviera products.

Here, we report the synthesis of disulfide-reducing agents 2-(dibenzylamino) propane-1,3-dithiol (DPDT) and 2-(dibenzylamino)-2-methylpropane-1,3-dithiol (DMPDT) from serinol and methyl serinol, respectively. DPDT was found to show greater stability than DMPDT. Hence, the effectiveness of DPDT as a reducing agent was evaluated in both liquid and solid phases. The reducing capacity of this agent was comparable to that of DTT.

Theobroma cacao agro-industrial waste (WTC) has been characterized and tested as an effective biosorbent to remove Cd(II) from aqueous media. At the optimum pH of 5.0, a maximum adsorption capacity of qe,max = 58.5 mg g−1 was determined. The structural and morphological characterization have been conducted by FTIR, SEM/EDX, and TGA measurements. The SEM/EDX results confirmed that the metals are adsorbed on the surface. C-O-C, OH, CH, NH, and C=O functional groups were identified by FTIR. TGA results were consistent with the presence of hemicellulose. Biosorption kinetics were rapid during the first 30 min and then reached equilibrium. The corresponding experimental data were well fitted to pseudo-first and -second order models, the latter being the best. The biosorption isotherm data were also well fitted to Temkin, Langmuir, and Freundlich models, showing that several sorption mechanisms may be involved in the Cd(II) biosorption process, which was characterized as exothermic (ΔH0 < 0), feasible, and spontaneous (ΔG0 < 0). In binary (Cd–Pb and Cd–Cu) and ternary (Cd–Pb–Cu) systems, Cu(II) and particularly Pb(II) co-cations exert strong antagonistic effects. Using HNO3, effective good regeneration of WTC was obtained to efficiently remove Cd(II) up to three times.
Les ICPE - Constats actuels
Authors: Kromarek Pascale
Published: July 2023

Au cours des quarante dernières années, les très nombreuses réformes du droit des installations classées pour la protection de l''environnement, droit de l’environnement industriel par excellence, présentent des points communs, liés entre autres à l’accroissement des intérêts à protéger. Elles ont oscillé entre les grands pôles qui caractérisent ce droit, et notamment entre technique et environnement, approches intégrées des pollutions ou objectifs de qualité environnementale, pouvoir de l’État prescripteur et participation du public. Si les réglementations de l’Union européenne ont exercé une influence considérable, souvent dans le sens d’une meilleure protection environnementale, elles ont aussi ajouté de la complexité. Les efforts renouvelés de simplifications procédurales n’ont pas toujours apporté les clarifications souhaitées, ni pour les administrations de tutelle, ni pour les exploitants ni pour les autres parties prenantes, et les réformes des ordonnances de 2016 semblent désormais placer ce domaine des ICPE à une croisée de chemins d’incertitudes.

Published: July 2023

Currently, we live immersed in the presence of unusual situations, such as COVID-19. Faced with this circumstance, challenges must be addressed to ensure the adaptation and well-being of individuals. Therefore, the aim of the present work is to identify, by means of a systematic review, different psychological factors that influence adaptation to change in order to face distressing situations. Thus, a search of scientific articles was carried out in different databases, such as Web of Science, Scopus and PsycINFO, where 123 investigations were obtained and, after applying the established criteria, 7 works were left for review. The results reveal that psychological distress was reduced by job support and quality of life where coping was increased by self-efficacy, social support and level of psychological distress. In conclusion, further intervention studies are suggested to verify the findings presented in the present investigation.

Introduction The aim of the research is to evaluate the clinical outcome among moderate-severe COVID-19 patients treated with standard drug
therapy plus LMW Heparin as compared to those not given LMW Heparin. It has several objectives such as to evaluate the clinical outcome among
moderate-severe COVID-19 patients admitted to RUHS-HMS and treated with LMW Heparin along with Standard Treatment Protocol by
assessing their in-hospital course of illness, duration of hospital stays, recovery, and mortality. To identify the possible risk factors associated with
COVID Patients. Methods A retrospective, observational study is undertaken. The study is conducted in the hospital attached to RUHS College of
medical sciences, Jaipur, Rajasthan. The study is conducted over a period of eight months. The data which is achieved from the study isanalyzed
statistically. For this, the usage of SPSS version 17.0 software is done. The test which is used is the standard deviation. The normal distribution of
the continuous variables between the groups isanalyzed with the help of a t-test the signicance level is set up at less than 0.05. ResultsIt revealed
that the adminstration of heparin was associated with lower mortality in patients admitted with COVID-19 as in group A patients who received
LMW Heparin, mortality was 11% with or without comorbidities whereas in group B it was found 18.68%. The presence of the disease is found to be associated with several other underlying conditions like liver, cardiovascular, kidney disease, and others. Conclusion It is concluded that the heparin usage is helpful and effective while treating the infection of COVID-19. Moreover, it is accountable for declining the rate of mortality in the patients. The current study also states that the underlying cardiovascular diseases are responsible for increasing the threat of mortality in patients who are suffering from COVID-19.

Gioco del calcio, «poesia dei campi verdi» e infanzia. Testi e autori Chiara Lepri
Authors: Lepri Chiara
Published: July 2023

The paper aims to investigate the presence of the representation of the sport of football in Italian poetry and the themes and motifs through which it recurs. In particular, through the literary evidence of poets such as Saba, Sereni, Giudici, Caproni, Pasolini, Spaziani, Porta, Raboni and others, a very suggestive path along which literature and football meet is highlighted: the two human activities originate from a certain amount of creativity; both allude to a human and historical dimension; both, finally, are connected to aesthetic pleasure and the dimension of play. Finally, we can see a triadic circularity between football, play and childhood, well expressed by poets such as Alfonso Gatto and Gianni Rodari. The path traced, which intercepts the feeling of the youngest on a terrain of consonances, but also of experiences and passions, can allow our youngsters to develop a renewed pleasure and enthusiasm in their relationship with the poetic text.

Global stability of a multi-group delayed epidemic model with logistic growth
Authors: Almuqati B. M. , Allehiany F. M.
Published: July 2023

In this work, we aim to investigate the mechanism of a multi-group epidemic model taking into account the influences of logistic growth and delay time distribution. Despite the importance of the logistic growth effect in such models, its consideration remains rare. We show that $ \mathcal{R}_0 $ has a crusher role in the global stability of a disease-free and endemic equilibria. That is, if $ \mathcal{R}_0 $ is less than or equal to one, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, whereas, if $ \mathcal{R}_0 $ is greater than one, then a unique endemic equilibrium exists and is globally asymptotically stable. In addition, we construct suitable Lyapunov functions to investigate the global stability of disease-free and endemic equilibria. Finally, we introduce numerical simulations of the model.
Interrelationship of Economic Ecosystems With Social Impact
Authors: Agarwal Nidhi , Hipona Jocelyn B. , Agarwal Ekansh
Published: July 2023

The interrelationship between economic ecosystems and social impact refers to the way in which the economic environment of a community can impact its social well-being and vice versa. Economic ecosystems refer to the complex network of economic activities, resources, and institutions that exist within a community or region, including businesses, industries, financial institutions, government agencies, and other stakeholders. Social impact, on the other hand, refers to the effect that these economic activities have on the social and cultural fabric of a community, such as employment opportunities, income levels, access to resources and services, and quality of life. Examining the ripple effect on communities involves looking at the way in which economic activities can create both positive and negative effects on the social well-being of a community.

Published: July 2023

Student dropout is one of the most complex challenges facing the education system worldwide. In order to evaluate the success of Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms in predicting student dropout, a systematic review was conducted. The search was carried out in several electronic bibliographic databases, including Scopus, IEEE, and Web of Science, covering up to June 2023, having 246 articles as search reports. Exclusion criteria, such as review articles, editorials, letters, and comments, were established. The final review included 23 studies in which performance metrics such as accuracy/precision, sensitivity/recall, specificity, and area under the curve (AUC) were evaluated. In addition, aspects related to study modality, training, testing strategy, cross-validation, and confounding matrix were considered. The review results revealed that the most used Machine Learning algorithm was Random Forest, present in 21.73% of the studies; this algorithm obtained an accuracy of 99% in the prediction of student dropout, higher than all the algorithms used in the total number of studies reviewed.

Authors: ADIYEKE Nuri
Published: July 2023

Farklı dönemlerde ve coğrafyada olduğu gibi Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda da yolculuklar sıkı kurallara bağlanmış, yolculuk yapmak isteyenlere de özel bir izin belgesi, müruriye verilerek kontrollü bir yolculuk yapılmasına izin verilmiştir. Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda özellikle 19. yüzyılın ikinci çeyreğinde yoğunlaşan bu uygulama imparatorluğun sonuna kadar devam etmiştir.

1831 yılına ait Girit-Resmo’ya ait üç yüzün üzerinde mürur kaydının bulunduğu bir mürur defteri, adı geçen yılın yaz aylarında Resmo’dan yapılan seyahatler hakkında detaylı bilgiler vermektedir. Defterde yolcunun kimlik bilgileri, vücut özellikleri, nereye gidecekleri ve kendilerine kefil olanlar hakkında ayrıntılı bilgiler verilmektedir. Bu kayıtlardan yolculuk yönleri, insanların fiziki tanımlamaları, meslekleri gibi konularda bilgiler sunmaktadır.

Defter kayıtları iki buçuk aylık bir süreyi kapsamaktadır. Az sayıda yolculuk yapan kadın olmakla birlikte yolcuların çok büyük bir kısmının erkek olduğu anlaşılmaktadır. Yolculuk güzergahı büyük oranda ada içinde idi. Bunun yanısıra Mısır, İzmir gibi merkezlerin dışında çevre adalara yolculuk yapanlar da bulunmaktadır.
THE IDENTITY OF LAUSANNE EXCHANGEE ACROSS THE GENERATIONS: THE CASE OF MUSTAFAPAŞA VILLAGE
Authors: CANPOLAT Medine Derya
Published: July 2023

Thanks to the Convention and Protocol Concerning the Exchange of Turkish and Greek Populations, signed between Türkiye and Greece on January 30, 1923, approximately 500 thousand Muslims migrated from Greece to Turkey. Accordingly, this study subjects the exchangees who migrated to Mustafapaşa Village of Nevşehir and their following generations that lived in this village for a hundred years. It aims to scrutinize the exchangees’ knowledge about compulsory migration across generations. It also aims to uncover whether they have protected the values and cultures inherited from their ancestors. Therefore, a fieldwork study was conducted in Mustafapaşa including observations and interviews with 50 exchangees. The data obtained from the field were subjected to content analysis and presented around the thematic framework of the study. The findings revealed that although the knowledge of customs and traditions decreased from generation to generation, the exchangee identity continued to be preserved.

A multikulturalitás és interkulturalitás kihívásai a 21. században
Authors: Máthé Ilona
Published: July 2023

A cikk célja a multikulturalizmus és az interkulturalizmus elméleti és gyakorlati meghatározása, alapvető különbségeinek, típusainak, következményeinek és problémás aspektusainak a bemutatása, gyakorlati példákkal. Az elméleti megközelítést illetően definiáljuk a ’Smelting Pot’ és a ’Salad Bowl’ típusú multikulturális társadalmakat, azok minden előnyével és hátrányával. A multikulturalizmus viszonyát a liberalizmussal szemben is elemezzük, valamint a közelmúlt olyan mozgalmainak (pl. WOKE, BLM) jellemzőit, hatásait is, melyek alapjaiban rengették meg az egyén és közösség viszonyát a történelmi múlthoz, az alapértékekhez, és következményeikben felvetették azt a kérdést, hogy modern, „művelt” társadalmunkban a család, az iskola és a demokratikus intézmények valóban elvégzik-e feladatukat, vagy a 20. század közepében indult (és ma már mainstremnek tekinthető, „politikai korrektség” vonulatának behódolva hajlandók és képesek is megváltoztatni a történelmet…, figyelmen kívül hagyva az akkori korok összefüggés-, ok-okozat-, valamint értékrendszereit. A kultúra, nemzet és nemzetiség fogalmainak kölcsönhatásainak, előnyeinek és hátrányainak az összevetése, elemzése, valamint a jelenlegi mainstream gondolkodás és narratíva következményeinek leírása is célja jelen előadásnak, a migráció, az oktatás-nevelés, az idegen nyelvi tudás, a kisebbségi és többségi jogok, a kisebbségi értékek ismertetése és illusztrálása folytán.

Spectrum of COVID-19-induced liver injury in children
Authors: Çelik Melike Y.
Published: July 2023

Deranged liver functions, which mainly raised alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST), have been reported in 14%–53% of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients without known liver disease. Patients with the severe disease showed higher frequency and degree of liver dysfunction, while in milder cases the liver injury was transient. The mechanisms of hepatic injury include immune-mediated inflammation and hypoxic injury due to severe pneumonia and drug usage. It is also postulated that expression of the ACE2 receptor on cholangiocytes may predispose to cholestatic injury. In this study, it was aimed to review the spectrum of COVID-19-induced liver injury in children.
Estudos dos genes do fator v de leiden e da protrombina em acadêmicos do interior de são paulo
Authors: Fernandes Aline Terezinha Ruoso , Giroldo Hugo Gabriel , Oliveira Camila Andréa de
Published: July 2023

Os eventos trombofílicos podem ser desencadeados por vários motivos, entre os quais se destaca a influência do fator genético sobre a predisposição à formação de trombos. A presença de mutações em genes que codificam os fatores da cascata de coagulação pode acarretar sérios danos à saúde do indivíduo. A trombose é uma doença que atinge 1 em cada 1.000 indivíduos adultos por ano e está ligada ao perfil genético. Por isso, descobrir a mutação tanto no gene do fator V de Leiden quanto no gene da PTCR (protrombina G20210A) é importante para a população, já que esses fatores estão ligados à coagulação sanguínea. O objetivo deste estudo é verificar a prevalência das mutações no gene do fator V de Leiden e no gene da PTCR em 153 indivíduos da população acadêmica da Fundação Hermínio Ometto (FHO|Uniararas), localizada na cidade de Araras-SP. A análise das amostras foi realizada por meio da técnica de reação de cadeia da polimerase, seguida de restrição enzimática (PCR-RFLP). A prevalência da mutação do gene do fator V de Leiden foi encontrada em 10,2% (5/49) em heterozigose de somente 49 indivíduos estudados, e não foi encontrada, nas amostras (0/153), a prevalência para a mutação do gene da PTCR. Assim, pode-se afirmar que a prevalência encontrada no gene do fator V de Leiden está dentro dos parâmetros encontrados por outros autores. Este estudo contribui no sentido de ressaltar a importância de se pesquisar a relação entre fatores genéticos e doenças trombolíticas.
