Authors: Famouri Fatemeh , Tavahen Nirvana , Gholami Hossein , Yazdi Maryam , Heidari-Beni Motahar , Momenzadeh Mahnaz
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Objective:

This study investigates the impact of omeprazole on urinary magnesium (Mg) excretion in children undergoing treatment for peptic disease. Specifically, it examines how omeprazole influences the fractional excretion of Mg.

Methods:

This single-arm clinical trial was conducted from 2020 to 2021. With 44 children diagnosed with acid peptic disease who received omeprazole (1–2 mg/kg/day) for 3 months at the Gastroenterology Clinic of Imam Hossein Hospital, Isfahan, Iran. Serum and urine levels of Mg and creatinine were measured before and after the intervention using the Pars Azmoon Kit, following the kits guidelines. The fractional excretion of Mg was then calculated using standard formulas.

Findings:

The mean urinary Mg levels decreased significantly from 4.96 ± 2.48 mg/dL before treatment to 1.46 ± 0.63 mg/dL after treatment (P < 0.001). Serum Mg levels also significantly declined from 1.90 ± 0.20 mg/dL before treatment to 1.37 ± 0.03 mg/dL after treatment (P < 0.01). The mean fractional excretion of Mg decreased from 5.2% ± 1.2% before therapy to 1.7% ± 0.63% after treatment (P < 0.01). Serum creatinine levels showed a slight increase from 0.62 ± 0.19 mg/dL to 0.67 ± 0.13 mg/dL (P = 0.053), whereas urinary creatinine levels increased by 20.80 ± 18.77 mg/dL (P < 0.001).

Conclusion:

The observed hypomagnesemia is not attributable to increased urinary Mg loss. Instead, the kidneys appear to compensate for the reduced serum Mg levels by decreasing urinary Mg excretion, thereby conserving Mg in the body following omeprazole treatment.
An Evaluation on Five Dimensions of a Mobile Health Application for Patient Counseling in Ambulatory Care Pharmacy: A Single-center Cross-sectional Survey Based on Pediatric Caregiver’s Opinion
Authors: Liu Qing-Qing , Wang Min , Chen Feng , Ji Xing , Xu Jin , Wang Zhi-Yu
Published: December 2024

ABSTRACT

Objective:

Due to high workloads and insufficient counseling time in ambulatory care pharmacy, outpatient pharmacists for pediatric patients in China proposed a mobile health application (mHealth app) that they considered could provide patient counseling more efficiently. To improve it accordingly, we need to design a more specific and multi-dimensional evaluation method to obtain pediatric caregivers’ evaluations of a mHealth app.

Methods:

A cross-sectional survey on five dimensions (transmission, accuracy, accessibility, completeness, and experience) of the mHealth app was conducted using a random questionnaire among outpatient caregivers at a children’s hospital.

Findings:

We received 478 valid questionnaires from 500 caregivers. The Item-Level Content Validity Index (I-CVI) indicated the content validity of the questions (I-CVI =1.000). The Content Validity Index for Scales (S-CVI) confirmed their content validity (S-CVI =1.000). The intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) of test–retest reliability were acceptable (0.806≤ ICC ≤0.869). The mean scores for transmission, accuracy, accessibility, and completeness were more than 3.5 when the experience was 2.1. Caregivers of different ages agreed that their accuracy was satisfactory; however, their experience was not. Caregivers aged over 50 years did not recognize its transmission and accessibility, whereas caregivers aged under 29 years and over 50 years were not satisfied with its completeness.

Conclusion:

The accuracy of the mHealth app is excellent; the transmission and accessibility need to give the silver generation time to accept and adapt, and experience and completeness should be improved. The five-dimensional assessment model can also be used to evaluate other mHealth apps for patient counseling.

Authors: Yousef Wesam , El Nahas Ehab M. , Abouel-Roos Mahmoud E.A. , Sosa Gamal A.M. , Kandiel Mohamed M.M.
Published: December 2024

Objective:

To characterize the influence of infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) vaccination time regarding the start of estrus synchronization on antibody titer, inflammatory reaction and oxidative stress in Holstein heifers.

Methods:

Twenty-four heifers (12.5 to 14.0 months old) were allocated into two experiments with 12 heifers in each, according to history of bovine herpesvirus (BoHV-1) vaccination (naive and booster vaccinated). Heifers in each experiment were assigned to Pre-synch, In-synch and control groups. Pre-synch and Insynch groups received IBR vaccine on Day -3 and Day 5 of estrus synchronization start, respectively. Control animals remained unvaccinated but synchronized. Blood samples collected on Day 0 (day of vaccination), 7, 14 and 46 and assayed for IBR antibody titer, C-reactive protein (CRP), and total antioxidant capacity (TAC).

Results:

The experiments showed invariably high BoHV-1 antibody titer after vaccination with live attenuated gE deleted vaccine or polyvalent vaccines containing chemically altered BoHV-1 in all vaccinated-synchronized animals compared to the control from Day 0 to Day 46 in naive heifers, and from Day 7 to 46 in booster vaccinated animals. In booster vaccinated animals, CRP was low in Pre-synch group on Day 7 (P<0.05), and both synchronized groups on Day 14 and 46. TAC levels of Pre-synch and In-synch naive heifers, and pre-synch booster heifers were lower than its control group on Day 0, and in naive vaccinated In-synch group than booster In-synch on Day 7 (P<0.05).

Conclusions:

The timing of estrus synchronization related to vaccination did not alter BoHV-1 antibody levels but affected CRP and TAC which make the animals liable for pathogen invasion and/or oxidative stress during the post-vaccinal period.

Authors: Rani Jyoti , Jagga Vinay
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND:

Incorporating gender differences into physiotherapy education and training programs prepares future practitioners to recognize and address these differences in their practice, promoting a higher standard of care. Studying the learning approaches of male and female undergraduate physiotherapy students is an unexplored area that can offer valuable insights into how different genders engage with educational content and learning environments.

METHODOLOGY:

The cross-sectional study includes a total of 181 subjects (110 were females and 71 were males) from Baba Mastnath University studying in the Bachelor of Physiotherapy program taken by random sampling technique. All students filled out the Visual, Auditory, Read/Write, Kinesthetic (VARK) learning styles questionnaire. Analysis was done using the statistical technique of t-ratio.

RESULT:

Female students in the 1st and 4th years have a higher preference for visual and read/write learning approaches as compared to male students, but in the 2nd year, females have more preference for kinesthetic learning style as compared to males. On the other side, males’ preference was more for kinesthetic learning styles in the 1st year and read/write in the 3rd year as compared to females.

CONCLUSION:

The study concluded that females more or less have a higher preference for visual and read/write learning approaches whereas males’ preference was kinesthetic style of learning in the undergraduate physiotherapy course.

Authors: Chouhan Kajal , Sathe Prachi Khandekar , Parihar Shivani Singh , Shrivastava Vivek Kumar
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND:

This study aimed to compare the biomechanical factors associated with normal, flat feet (pes planus), and high-arched feet (pes cavus) in university students and to explore the relationship between foot posture and calf muscle length.

MATERIALS AND METHODOLOGY:

This cross-sectional study included 100 university students aged 18–28. Participants were assessed using the foot posture index (FPI) to determine foot posture and a goniometer to measure calf muscle tightness.

RESULTS:

Significant differences in FPI scores and ankle dorsiflexion range of motion were found among the three foot types. The study confirmed that flat feet are associated with gastrocnemius muscle tightness and that maintaining calf muscle flexibility is crucial for optimal foot mechanics.

CONCLUSION:

We conclude that FPI scores and calf muscle length differ significantly between normal, flat feet (pes planus), and high-arched feet (pes cavus) individuals. Further, a significant negative correlation is found between FPI scores and calf muscle length. A considerable increase in calf muscle tightness is found to be associated with an increase in flat foot degree in young college going students.

Authors: Temkar Shreyas , Agarwal Disha , Stephen Mary , Sugumaran Ramkumar , Periyandavan Jayasri
Published: December 2024

Papilledema is a condition of bilateral optic disc edema due to increased intracranial pressure, which can be due to multiple causes. We report a case of a middle-aged woman who presented with a history of episodic headaches associated with transient blurring of vision. Examination showed a vision of 6/6 and normal anterior segment. Fundus examination showed established papilledema and extensive peripapillary hemorrhages. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain showed evidence of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). A hemorrhagic papilledema should point toward significantly elevated intracranial pressure, which may result in rupture of peripapillary vessels, complicated further by anemia.

Authors: Birtić Vučić Marijana , Štulina Anamarija
Published: December 2024

Informed by the knowledge, practical experience and challenges encountered during designing syllabi for English for Academic Purposes (EAP) 1 and 2 courses, this teaching report outlines the design of the syllabi for the continuing EAP 3 and EAP 4 courses. Targeted at second-year undergraduate students in the Humanities and Social Sciences programmes at the University of Zadar, Croatia, these courses necessitate tailored approaches to language instruction that address students' specific academic needs. The needs-based approach to the design process aimed to facilitate students' overall communicative competence, address their reluctance towards oral participation, and foster proficiency in academic language skills relevant to their disciplines. To achieve these objectives, the syllabi integrate the principles of task-based language teaching (TBLT), specifically utilizing tasks as the central unit for planning and instruction. Task selection and design emphasized real-world academic scenarios, ensuring the chosen tasks reflect authentic language use that students will encounter in their studies. By incorporating TBLT principles, this report offers a framework for enhancing language learning in EAP courses. This framework promotes authentic language use and ultimately supports students' academic success within their chosen fields. Pedagogical implications include the utilization of TBLT principles to tailor language instruction for EAP courses, focusing on academic scenarios to enhance students' communicative competence and academic language proficiency.

Published: December 2024

Maintenance of intestinal homeostasis suggests dynamic interaction between the host immune system and local microbiota. Impaired immune response, genetic predisposition and changes in microbiota composition lead to chronic gut inflammation, which is the basis for the development of immune pathology accompanying inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Resident enteric viruses also have immunomodulatory effects in IBD. Toll-like receptors recognizing PAMPs penetrating intestinal barrier are an important component of the inflammatory process in ulcerative colitis (UC). Viral double-stranded RNA is recognized by endosomal TLR3. Our goal was to identify the association between alleles, genotypes of the TLR3 gene and its haplotypes formed with TLR2 genes, TLR1, TLR6, and UC in Russian population of the Chelyabinsk Region. The study groups included 96 patients with UC and 86 healthy individuals. DNA was isolated from whole blood using a column method, polymorphic gene regions were amplified using allele-specific PCR and RFLP, amplification products were detected by gel electrophoresis in a 3% agarose with UV-visualization. The SNP 1234CT (Leu412Phe) of the TLR3 gene were typed. Linkage disequilibrium parameters were evaluated for the mentioned TLR3 SNP and other SNPs, i.e., 1805TG (Ser602Ile) in TLR1 gene, 2258GA (Arg753Gln) in TLR2 gene, 745CT (Ser249Pro) in TLR6 gene. The frequency analysis of alleles and genotypes of TLR3 SNP 1234CT showed a statistically significant increase of the mutant T allele frequency (p = 0.019; OR = 1.72; 95% CI: 1.09-2.71), and higher frequency of homozygous TT genotype among the patients with UC (p = 0.011; OR = 4.72; 95% CI: 1.31-17.05). By assessing the parameters of linkage disequilibrium, two haplotypes were discovered that may be predisposition factors for UC, i.e., haplotype 1234*T~2258*A, with linkage of mutant alleles of SNPs 1234CT TLR3 and 2258GA TLR2 (p = 0.006; OR = 12.42; 95% CI: 1.61-95.97), as well as haplotype 1234*T~1805*T, with linkage of the mutant allele of SNP 1234CT TLR3 to wild allele of SNP 1805TG TLR1 (p = 0.009; OR = 2.94; 95% CI: 1.35-6.42).
The effect of dehydroepiandrosterone on oxygen-dependent microbicidal activity of blood leukocytes in zymosan peritonitis in old rats
Authors: Barkov S. Y. , Shilov Y. I. , Shilov S. Y.
Published: December 2024

The purpose of the present work was to study effects of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) on the oxygen-dependent microbicidal activity of blood leukocytes. The studies were performed on male white nonlinear rats aged 3-6 months (young rats) and adult animals over 1.5 years old (old rats) using an experimental model of zymosan peritonitis. DHEA was administered subcutaneously to old animals on the daily basis (a total of 4 injections of 2 mg/kg body weight, the last injection 24 hours before the end of the experiment). Rats of similar age served as controls and received DHEA solvent (officinal olive oil) according to the same time regimen. 12 hours before the end of the experiment, the animals were administered a sterile suspension of zymosan A intraperitoneally at a dose of 50 mg/kg. The oxygen-dependent microbicidal activity of blood leukocytes was assessed by luminol-dependent chemiluminescence using opsonized and non-opsonized zymosan at concentrations of 15 μg/mL, 150 μg/mL and 1500 μg/mL.
In old male rats, compared to young ones, the chemiluminescence indexes showed a statistically significant increase when blood leukocytes were stimulated with both opsonized and non-opsonized zymosan. Administration of DHEA to old male rats leads to a pronounced decrease in chemiluminescence in samples at all concentrations of opsonized zymosan. When leukocytes of old animals are stimulated with non-opsonized zymosan in vitro, a statistically significant increase in the production of reactive oxygen species was observed, being more pronounced at lower concentrations of inducing agent (15 μg/mL and 150 μg/mL). Meanwhile, this effect was canceled at high concentrations of zymosan. The level of spontaneous chemiluminescence, reflecting in vivo cell activation, was higher in old rats treated with DHEA compared to young animals. The direction of changes in the production of reactive oxygen species in samples with low concentrations of the in vitro activation was similar to the effects of DHEA in old rats tested for spontaneous chemiluminescence. In general, our studies confirm the pronounced immunomodulatory activity of DHEA. In general, we have found that aging of male rats leads to pronounced pro-inflammatory activation of reactive oxygen species produced by blood leukocytes at the peak of inflammation induced by zymosan injections. Administration of DHEA to old male rats significantly reduced the production of reactive oxygen species by blood leukocytes, when the cells were in vitro activated by opsonized zymosan, but stimulates production of oxygen radicals in the samples without zymosan, as well as upon exposition to non-opsonized zymosan at concentrations of 15 μg/mL and 150 μg/ mL.

Building production with additive manufacturing techniques increase. This technique accelerated building construction works. Building production with additive manufacturing techniques increase. This technique accelerated building construction works. Building construction using additive manufacturing techniques draws attention because it requires less skilled labor, can be built in a shorter time, reduces costs, and contributes to sustainability. On the other, this technique enables the on-site production of buildings and the construction of complex building designs. This study aims to investigate the effect of using sustainable materials on building energy consumption in constructing complex-designed buildings. The effect of using geopolymer, a sustainable material, on building energy performance in square and free-form buildings was investigated. Additionally, the buildings in these forms were modelled with single-layer and double-layer walls, and the impact of layers on energy consumption was examined. On the other side, the effects of building forms in different directions were also examined. In the study, the effects of different scenarios were examined using the building energy simulation program. As a result of the study, it was determined that the building form was effective in the energy consumption of the building. It was also found that in the free-form building, the exterior wall orientation affected the building energy consumption. When the exterior walls of buildings of the same form and orientation were made double-layer instead of single-layer, a 60% decrease in heating energy consumption and a 12% decrease in cooling energy consumption was observed. The study is important in terms of the relationship between free building form and energy consumption.

Authors: Hariadini Ayuk Lawuningtyas , Fauzia Rindha Agata , Deapsari Fani , Arundina Arsy , Ebtavanny Tamara Gusti
Published: December 2024

Background: Moisturiser, or emollient, hydrates the skin and is the second most used skincare product among Indonesian women, following face wash. Moisturizers vary in formulation and ingredients, and choosing the wrong one can lead to ineffective results or side effects. Understanding people's knowledge and attitudes toward moisturizer use is essential.
Objective: This research aimed to determine the correlation between the level of knowledge and attitudes toward selecting moisturiser products among the people of Malang, which consists of Malang City, Malang Regency, and Batu City.
Method: The study used an observational analytic method with a cross-sectional design, recruiting one hundred male and female respondents from Malang through purposive sampling. A questionnaire assessed demographics, knowledge, and attitudes toward moisturizer use, and its validity and reliability were confirmed.
Result: The people of Malang had a good level of knowledge (32%), average knowledge (51%), and poor knowledge (17%), while those who had a positive attitude (41%) and a negative attitude (59%). The results of the correlation between knowledge and attitude by the Spearman test showed a significance value of 0.007 (p < 0.05) and a correlation value of + 0.267.
Conclusion: There was a significant correlation with a moderate level of correlation. Respondents' knowledge of the dosage form and active ingredient content of moisturiser indicators still needs to be improved.

Authors: Pramestutie Hananditia , Kristina Susi , Lazuardi Muhammad , Widayanti Anna
Published: December 2024

Background: Diarrhoea is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in developing countries. Pharmacists in pharmacies are essential in managing the treatment of diarrhoea in children and its prevention, particularly in preventing dehydration in children with diarrhoea.
Objective: This study aims to explore the practice of pharmacists in providing pharmaceutical services related to treating diarrhoea in children in pharmacies.
Method: The research was conducted using a qualitative, non-experimental method through in-depth interviews. Interviews were conducted face-to-face. Informants were recruited until data saturation, and ten pharmacist informants were obtained. Data validity was assessed through credibility testing with member checking, transferability testing with a detailed description, dependability testing, and confirmability testing through peer debriefing. Interview results were analysed descriptively using an inductive reasoning process.
Result: In practice, not all pharmacists obtain complete drug information, make recommendations for appropriate treatment of paediatric diarrhoea, and provide complete drug information. The inhibiting factors for the implementation of pharmaceutical services related to paediatric diarrhoea therapy in the pharmacy is the lack of up-to-date knowledge among pharmacists and the limited human resources in the pharmacy.
Conclusion: Pharmacists have a role in preventing and treating diarrhoea in children because they are health professionals who can be found in pharmacies and whom the public can consult about treating diarrhoea in their children.
Deleuze, Expérimenteur
Authors: Stivale Charles J.
Published: December 2024

Este ensayo, presentado en la conferencia SPEP 2024 en Rochester, NY (EE. UU.), complementa la charla de Alan Schrift sobre 'Deleuze Universitaire' (que vincula los libros de Deleuze con los temas de los cursos que enseñó y, en particular, con las materias anuales requeridas para preparar el examen nacional de la agrégation en Francia) al estudiar el lado experimental de la enseñanza de Deleuze en la universidad deliberadamente experimental, Vincennes, creada en 1968-69. Dada la importancia de Vincennes en sí misma como un experimento educativo, la enseñanza de Deleuze allí desarrolla un tipo particular de pedagogía que rastreo, tanto durante su tiempo en Vincennes (hasta 1980) como en St. Denis-París 8 hasta su jubilación (1987). Finalmente, considero cómo el trabajo que realizó en estos seminarios constituye la base de varios proyectos en el 'más allá' de la jubilación de Deleuze.
El concepto deleuzo-guattariano de agencement y su recepción en Manuel DeLanda
Authors: Pachilla Pablo , Spinelli Juan Manuel
Published: December 2024

En el presente artículo, se rastrea el concepto de agencement en la obra de Deleuze y Guattari, siguiendo sus ajustes y modificaciones desde El Anti-Edipo (1972) hasta Mil mesetas (1980), pasando por Kafka, por una literatura menor (1975). A continuación, presentaremos el concepto de assemblage en Manuel DeLanda, atendiendo a sus versiones mínima y ampliada y procurando explicitar sus puntos de contacto y de tensión con los pensadores franceses. A lo largo de este recorrido, se intentará mostrar tanto la genealogía del concepto retomado por DeLanda, como la diferencia entre las preocupaciones a las que responden los agencements y aquellas a las que responden los assemblages. La transformación del concepto, en este sentido, da cuenta de un desplazamiento de la centralidad del lenguaje en beneficio de una ontología articulada con las ciencias empíricas y formales en la cual resultará central la noción de emergencia.
Gilles Deleuze: Esquizo-análisis vs. Materialismo Dialéctico. Parte I. Salvajes, Bárbaros y Civilizados: ¿procesos dialécticos o procesos maquínicos?
Authors: Chicolino Martín
Published: December 2024

El presente estudio monográfico (que se divide en dos artículos que serán publicados consecutivamente en esta revista) está dedicado a estudiar la manera en que Gilles Deleuze abordó el problema psico-político de la dominación y de la violencia psico-sexo-política masculina. Para ello, será necesario partir de la pregunta que interroga acerca de la relación genética que el Patriarcado (en tanto que mega-red de relaciones de alianzas masculinas de sexo-poder) guarda con el Estado (en tanto que forma de organizar la sociabilidad humana) y con el Capitalismo (en tanto que modo de organizar la productividad humana). Con respecto a dicha relación genética, Deleuze postulará, siguiendo al sinólogo marxista Ferenc Tökei, que ‘esclavo liberto’ (antepasado del proletario moderno) fue la personificación social masculina clave en la génesis patriarcal del Capitalismo por el Estado, siendo la explotación psico-sexual de las mujeres (prostitución) una empresa de primer orden para la comprensión de dicha génesis. Según el Esquizoanálisis, la explotación psico-sexual y libidinal es la ratio de la explotación económica y de la dominación de clase. Por eso, no podremos abordar dicha relación genética entre Patriarcado, Estado y Capital (tocante a las violencias masculinas) sin abordar, en esta «Parte I», las críticas de Deleuze/Guattari hacia Marx/Engels: esquizo-análisis ácrata (en tanto que análisis de procesos maquínicos) versus materialismo dialéctico (en tanto que análisis de procesos dialécticos). Ahora bien, ¿acaso el materialismo dialéctico resulta operativo (en la crítica y en la clínica) a la hora de comprender y de caracterizar (y de luchar contra) las violencias psico-sexuales patriarcales masculinas, como por ejemplo, la prostitución? ¿Cómo Marx, Engels, Bebel y Riazánov caracterizaron (desde el materialismo dialéctico) tanto a la prostitución, como a la prostituta, y al prostituyente? ¿No acaban incurriendo en un reduccionismo economicista y cambista (en materia sexual) que torna invisibles las causas patriarcales de la dominación y las violencias masculinas, tornándose incluso su garante insospechado “por izquierda”? Este será el problema central de la «Parte II». Nuestro concepto social de ‘Salud Mental’ depende directamente del modo de caracterizar dichos problemas psico-sexo políticos.

Published: December 2024

The article raises the problem of social advertising as one of the varieties of influential social and institutional communication. In particular, in a comparative aspect, strategies and means of the speech impact realizing of the French and Ukrainian discourses of social advertising on the recipient are established. It was found that social advertising, which plays an important role in the formation of norms and moral values of society, simultaneously performs a number of functions, namely: informative, educational, economic, social-regulatory, and the like. The identification of linguistic and paralinguistic means of advertising messages influence on the addressee allows us to conclude that speech impact is the basic component of the social advertising discourse, which changes the consciousness, behavior, desires and intentions of the recipient. The level of perception, awareness, memorization of socially important information by the addressee depends on the advertising text structuring, in particular on the selection of linguistic means.
The study of the means of the pragmatic potential realizing of the social advertising discourse in French and Ukrainian languages made it possible to identify strategies for achieving speech impact, namely, the self-doubt overcoming, the confidence achievement, the emotions influence, the categoricalness manifestation, the instant attention attraction, the reassurance, the warning etc.
It was found that the pragmatic influence of advertising texts on the recipient in both Ukrainian and French is attained by the use of modal verbs, the pronoun you, exclamation and interrogative sentences, possessive pronouns and adjectives yours, your, the indefinite form of the verb, the expletive words, expressive adjectives, tropes, non-verbal means (print, capital letters, images), the emphasis turns. In French social advertising texts, a poetic form was also found.

Authors:   Univerzitet u Sarajevu, KALAJDŽIJA Alen
Published: December 2024

The article discusses the problem of the still unresolved status of several recorded Bosnian poems in the mejmua of Salih Kalajdžić, a Sarajevan who lived at the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, two of which were presented to the (scientific) public in Latin transcribed form. In the meantime, the Mejmua (collection) containing the above-mentioned poems disappeared, more precisely in 1992, after the burning of the Sarajevo City Hall, where were kept in the Oriental Institute within the manuscripts, which is an irreparable fact given that the manuscript version of the above-mentioned poems, of which there were actually more, and at the same time other types of texts, cannot be studied from the point of view of the original manuscript. This, however, cannot be a limiting circumstance in attempts at philological expertise of possible aspects of preserved and published texts of two poems: Garibić and Türkü bosnaça.
