Calculation of Electron Swarm Parameters in Tetrafluoromethane
Authors: Salih Idris H. , Othman Mohammad M. , Taha Sherzad A.
Published: September 2020

The electron swarm parameters and electron energy distribution function (EEDF) are necessary, especially onunderstanding quantitatively plasma phenomena and ionized gases. The EEDF and electron swarm parameters including the reduce effective ionization coefficient (α-η)/N (α and η are the ionization and attachment coefficient, respectively), electron drift velocity, electron mean energy, characteristic energy, density  normalized longitudinal diffusion coefficient, and density normalized electron mobility in tetrafluoromethane (CF4) which was analyzed and calculated using the two-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation method at room temperature, over a range of the reduced electric field strength (E/N) between 0.1 and 1000 Td(1Td=10-17 V.cm2), where E is the electric field and N is the gas density of the gas. The calculations required cross-sections of the electron beam, thus published momentum transfer, vibration, electronic excitation, ionization, and attachment cross-sections for CF4 were used, the results of the Boltzmann equation in a good agreement with experimental and theoretical values over the entire range of E/N. In all cases, negative differential conductivity regions were found. It is found that the calculated EEDF closes to Maxwellian distribution and decreases sharply at low E/N. The low energy part of EEDF flats and the high-energy tail of EEDF increases with increase E/N. The EEDF found to be non-Maxwellian when the E/N> 10Td, havingenergy variations which reflect electron/molecule energy exchange processes. In addition, limiting field strength (E/N)limit has been calculated from the plots of (α-η)/N, for which the ionization exactlybalances the electron attachment, which is valid for the analysis of insulation characteristics and application to power equipment.
Interaction of Fear Conditioning with Eyeblink Conditioning Supports the Sensory Gating Hypothesis of the Amygdala in Men
Authors: Inoue Lana , Ernst Thomas Michael , Ferber Inda Inat , Merz Christian Josef , Timmann Dagmar , Batsikadze Giorgi
Published: September 2020

Inhibition of the amygdala slows down acquisition of conditioned eyeblink responses (CRs). Based on the two-stage or two-factor theory of aversive conditioning, amygdala-dependent conditioned fear is a necessary prerequisite to acquire eyeblink CRs but is no longer needed after eyeblink CRs are attained. According to the sensory gating hypothesis of the amygdala, on the other hand, the amygdala modulates the salience of unconditioned stimuli (USs) and conditioned stimuli (CSs) in eyeblink conditioning. We tested these two opposing assumptions in five groups of 20 young and healthy men. On day 1, three groups underwent fear acquisition training followed by acquisition of eyeblink CRs. On the next day (day 2), extinction was tested. In group 1, fear and eyeblink extinction trials overlapped; in group 2, fear and eyeblink extinction trials alternated; and in group 3, fear extinction trials were followed by eyeblink extinction trials. Groups 4 and 5 were control conditions testing fear and eyeblink conditioning only. Preceding fear acquisition training facilitated acquisition of conditioned eyeblinks. Concomitant fear extinction impeded extinction of eyeblink CRs, which was accompanied by increased autonomic responses. Fear extinction, however, was not significantly altered by concomitant eyeblink extinction. Recall of fear CRs on day 2 was facilitated in group 1, suggesting additive response summation. Findings are difficult to explain with the two-stage theory of aversive conditioning, which predicts the suppression of conditioned fear once conditioned eyeblinks are acquired. Facilitated acquisition and impeded extinction of eyeblink CRs, however, are in accordance with the sensory-gating hypothesis of the amygdala.
To What Extent Do Non-Westerners Tolerate Political Oppression? They Have Their Own “Impossible Tyranny”!
Authors: Al-Beraidi Abdullah
Published: September 2020

This paper seeks to challenge the interpretations found in Western political philosophy on Oriental or Asian tyranny. The main research questions are: Is tyranny the inevitable fate of non-Western societies? To what extent do these societies tolerate political oppression? To provide initial answers, the paper analyzes certain aspects of tyrannical phenomenon found in some non-Western countries, in Arab, Asian, African, and Latin American contexts. It offers two new interpretive terms: “possible tyranny” and “impossible tyranny.” It suggests that each country inevitably has its own share of tyranny in both quantity and quality, for a period of time. However, if this type of tyranny oversteps certain boundaries in a country, that country will likely experience another kind of tyranny: impossible tyranny. The study offers preliminary definitions, an initial justification of these two terms, and suggests many questions for future studies.
The Politics of Pandemics
Authors: Zielonka Jan
Published: September 2020

The outbreak of Covid-19 prompted the greatest political intervention in our lifetime. Governments around the world introduced measures that shattered our private life, brought economic life to a virtual standstill, and threw into question the value of international organizations. The article first shows how the political interventions undertaken throughout 2020 have crushed long standing equilibria on such fundamental issues as the notion of a common good, the limits of individual freedom, or the relationship between the state and markets. It then analyses the battle of power and minds between the main political protagonists. The following section scrutinizes the policies applied by these actors, and their implications for democracy. The final section tries to envisage a democratic politics suitable for the world of viruses, super-bugs, climate change, poverty and hyper-connectivity.

Objective:

Permanent hypoparathyroidism is an uncommon disease resulting most frequently from neck surgery. It has been associated with visceral calcifications but few studies have specifically this in patients with post-surgical hypoparathyroidism. The aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of basal ganglia and carotid artery calcifications in patients with long-term post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism compared with a control population.

Design:

Case–control study.

Methods:

A cross-sectional review comparing 29 consecutive patients with permanent postoperative hypoparathyroidism followed-up in a tertiary reference unit for Endocrine Surgery with a contemporary control group of 501 patients who had an emergency brain CT scan. Clinical variables and prevalence of basal ganglia and carotid artery calcifications were recorded.

Results:

From a cohort of 46 patients diagnosed with permanent hypoparathyroidism, 29 were included in the study. The mean duration of disease was 9.2 ± 7 years. Age, diabetes, hypertension, smoking and dyslipidemia were similarly distributed in case and control groups. The prevalence of carotid artery and basal ganglia calcifications was 4 and 20 times more frequent in patients with permanent hypoparathyroidism, respectively. After propensity score matching of the 28 the female patients, 68 controls were matched for age and presence of cardiovascular factors. Cases showed a four-fold prevalence of basal ganglia calcifications, whereas that of carotid calcifications was similar between cases and controls.

Conclusion:

A high prevalence of basal ganglia calcifications was observed in patients with post-surgical permanent hypoparathyroidism. It remains unclear whether carotid artery calcification may also be increased.

Published: September 2020

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has caused a huge impact on education worldwide. Many countries have therefore suspended classes for pandemic prevention. As the situation of COVID-19 pandemic prevention and control in China has gradually improved, elementary and middle schools have started to resume classes. To guarantee the resumption of classes and pandemic prevention and control at the same time, and to ensure the safety and health of teachers and students, schools carefully planned various tasks after school resumption. The creative work carried out in various places and time ensured that the school resumed in a timely, orderly, and scientific manner. This paper took some elementary and middle schools in China as examples, and introduced in detail the preparatory work before the class resumption and the pandemic prevention and teaching measures under the pandemic after the class resumption.

Published: September 2020

Uma análise de características e propriedades das rochas, após a perfuração de um poço de petróleo, pode ser executada utilizando-se perfilagem elétrica, de indução, sônica e radioativa. A perfilagem radioativa pode ser do tipo gama-natural, gama-gama e neutrônica, sendo que nesta utiliza-se fontes radioativas de 241Am-Be até 851 GBq e 252Cf até 4,1 GBq. Os IOEs da área de perfilagem de poços de petróleo são monitorados duplamente, tanto para radiação de fótons como para nêutrons. No Brasil, apesar de existir 10 instalações de perfilagem de poços de petróleo com 40 SPRs e 3 laboratórios de dosimetria de nêutrons, os dados sobre a monitoração individual de nêutrons de IOE não são devidamente apresentados sistematicamente. Este trabalho apresenta um panorama da área de perfilagem de poços de petróleo, enfocando os tipos de dosímetros, o número de IOEs e resultados de monitoração individual. Na pesquisa bibliográfica foram utilizados dados publicados independente do período e os publicados no UNSCEAR. Os resultados apresentam detalhes dos tipos de dosímetros de nêutrons mais utilizados, bem como, dados relativos à evolução do número de IOEs com monitoração gama e de nêutrons. Os dados analisados mostram que a perfilagem de poços de petróleo tem tido um aumento no número de IOEs com monitoração individual para nêutrons ao longo dos anos, e a dose efetiva média anual vem diminuindo progressivamente. Conclui-se que para se obter uma visão mais detalhada sobre monitoração individual para nêutron, em perfilagem de poços de petróleo, os dados devem ser publicados de maneira adequada e constante.

In vitro androgenesis process under salt pressure is recognized as being a valuable method for quick production of salt stress tolerant doubled haploid lines, enabling yield improvement of plants cultivated in dry climates. This study aimed to investigate the effect of salt stress on in vitro androgenetic regeneration, and the production of salt tolerant barley doubled haploid lines. Moroccan barley varieties, Arig, Asni and Tamelalt were used as RS0, and after one round of selfing (RS1) or two (RS2). These successive generations made possible to verify genetic stability or possible accidental heterozygosity, and to obtain plants presumably more tolerant to salinity. After culture of 11,340 anthers on induction medium, 2,270 calluses or embryos were generated. According to the induction rate of these formations, the three generations of each variety were not significantly different, pointing out the genetic stability after two selfings. Tamelalt and Arig had similar in vitro response, while for Asni, the three generations behaviour differed from the previous ones and constitute a statistically separate group. After transfer of the formations on regeneration medium either salt free, as control, or supplemented by increasing concentrations of NaCl, ranging from 2.5 to 13 g.L-1, 170 regenerants were produced. Asni (RS1) showed to be the most salt tolerant, bearing the maximal NaCl concentration of 12 g.L-1, but the single regenerated plant obtained was albino, as most of the regenerated plants from any genotype and generation. However, RS1 and RS2 generations of Asni regenerated one green plant each, with NaCl concentration of 5 g.L-1, resulting in two new Asni doubled haploid fertile lines.

The aim was the evaluavate meat performance of broiler chickens Ross 308 after the addition of red grape pomace (variety Alibernet) into their diet. A total of one-day 200 Ross 308 broiler chickens of males and females were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=50): the control group (C) without additional supplementation, experimental group E1 supplemented with 1% red grape pomace per 1 kg of feed mixture, experimental group E2 supplemented with 2% red grape pomace per 1 kg of feed mixture and experimental group E3 supplemented with 3% red grape pomace per 1 kg of feed mixture. The feed mixtures were produced without any antibiotics and coccidiostatics. The fattening period lasted for 42 days. The findings of the work on the meat performance and carcass characteristics of Ross 308 broiler chickens revealed that grape pomace in amount 3% (E3 group) seems to be the most suitable feed supplement. Among the most positively affected parameters (P≤0.05) by this supplementation in comparison with control may be mentioned the live weight and breast part weight (♂, ♀ and ♂+♀). Moreover, it seems likely that any supplementation with grape pomace can positively affect (P≤0.05) giblets weight (♂+♀) and necks weight (♀ and ♂+♀).

Published: September 2020

The fungus Trichoderma asperellum has a great potential to be used as biocontrol agent against plant pathogens in field. For this purpose it is necessary to optimize mass production on an industrial scale. This work proposes a method for the recovery and concentration of T. asperellum spores. The addition of the fertilizer Urfos 44®, decreased pH value of spore suspension from 6.31 to 1.76. This condition allowed spores to flocculate in few hours, rendering a more concentrated suspension by a factor of 6 - 7. Spore viability did not significantly decreased in 72 hours under these conditions. These results will contribute to obtain more concentrated products based on T. asperellum using a fast and low cost method.
EVALUATION OF THE SENSITIVITY OF NITROCELLULOSE MEMBRANE LOW-COST ALTERNATIVES USED IN TISSUE BLOT IMMUNOASSAY (TBIA) FOR DETECTION OF SOME PLANT VIRUSES
Authors: Younes Hosny Ali , Kawanaa Maha
Published: September 2020

In an attempt of reducing the cost of tissue blot immunoassay (TBIA), some kinds of papers as alternative solid phases in place of nitrocellulose membrane (NCM), were tested for detection of three viruses: Cowpea mosaic virus (CPMV), Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV) and Zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV). Most of the examined papers developed positive reaction with all tested viruses. Canson paper (150g/m2 and 300g/m2) were sensitive for detection of the tested viruses as NCM and persist in good condition during the processing. Filter paper (Whatman No. 1), local drawing paper (60g/m2), photocopy paper (80g/m2), (56g/m2) and (70g/m2) were very weak and need to taking care in handling. High glossy photo paper (200g/m2) was not effective however, it did not show any infected or healthy tissue print. Good results were obtained when both faces of NCM and Canson paper (300g/m-2) were printed with all tested viruses. TBIA could detect CPMV in infected leaves using the unused face of NCM previously processed with 7 or 11 years ago. CPMV, ToMV and ZYMV were detected 2, 4, 6, 8 and16 days after inoculation with NCM and Canson paper (300g/m-2). Also, the tested viruses were detected in leaf, petiole, stem and root of infected plants. ToMV could be detected using NCM and Canson paper (300g/m-2) in naturally infected tomato plant samples.
Schultes y el caucho: formaciones regionales y estatales en Vaupés (1942-1970)
Authors: Rozo Esteban
Published: September 2020

Este artículo analiza las relaciones entre las exploraciones de Richard E. Schultes, la extracción del caucho y los procesos de formación del Estado a escala regional que tuvieron lugar en Vaupés entre 1942 y la década de 1970, cuando terminó el “segundo boom” de la industria cauchera. Buena parte de la historiografía sobre la extracción del caucho en la Amazonía colombiana se ha enfocado principalmente en el “primer boom”. A partir del estudio de los archivos personales de Schultes, publicaciones de prensa, documentos históricos y trabajo de campo realizado en Vaupés, fue posible constatar que el conocimiento producido por este científico promovió: el “resurgimiento” de la industria cauchera en Vaupés, la apropiación del caucho y el cauchero por parte del gobierno local como símbolos de progreso e identidad regional, así como el uso de la infraestructura cauchera construida por los norteamericanos como medio para expandir la soberanía del Estado-nación. Sin embargo, la mistificación y exaltación del caucho y el cauchero como emblemas regionales también ocultaron la explotación de los indígenas.

Published: September 2020

The trend with the most significant impact on food is currently clean labeling, and meat products are not exempt from it. This trend promotes the elimination of additives of inorganic origin and their replacement by natural ingredients in the formulation of products. In the present work, the effects of the total substitution of polyphosphate and vegetable protein for citric fiber and hydrolyzed pork collagen in chopped pork York ham, with an extension of 52.9% at the end of cooking, were evaluated to achieve clean labeling. Two treatments were performed with two types of brine, which had a citrus fiber A and a citrus fiber B as phosphate replacements. Additionally, as a vegetable protein replacement, the same hydrolyzed pork collagen was used for both treatments. Tumbler massaging was made to allow correcting protein extraction, then it was subjected to heat treatment by immersion in hot water at 80 °C. It was concluded that the ham made with citric fiber B and hydrolyzed pork collagen obtained better results in texture, syneresis, sensory analysis and cooking losses, with no significant differences with the standard.
Gypsum incubation tests to evaluate its potential effects on acidic soils of Colombia
Authors: Cuervo-Alzate Jorge Enrique , Osorio Nelson Walter
Published: September 2020

Tropical soils are characterized by acidity and poor plant nutrient availability, limiting their agricultural productivity. These soils are commonly amended with lime, but its low solubility impairs its effectiveness to enhance soil fertility. The use of gypsum has gained attention among farmers due to its higher solubility and mobility in the soil, local accessibility, and low price. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the effects of Agricultural Gypsum (AG) addition on ten Colombian acid soils that had poor fertility and contrasting their physical and chemical characteristics. Surface (0-20 cm) soil samples were air-dried, sieved (<2 mm), and transferred into plastic vases, 40 g (dry base) per vase. Increasing rates of gypsum were added by duplicate: 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0, and 16.0 g kg-1. Then, the soils were incubated for two weeks and watered to maintain 50% of their maximum water holding capacity. Soil pH, Al+3, Ca+2, Mg+2, K+, S-SO4-2, and P-H2PO4-2 were measured using standard methods. The results showed that AG addition significantly (P<0.05) increased soil exchangeable Ca+2-K+, Ca+2 saturation, S-SO4-2 concentration, and exchangeable Al+3, particularly with doses above 4.0 g kg-1. In contrast, soil Al+3 saturation, P-H2PO4-2 and pH significantly decreased as the AG doses increased, while soil exchangeable Mg+2 levels were not significantly affected. The use of gypsum incubation tests could be promissory for its effects on soil amelioration associated mainly to increase soil exchangeable Ca2+ and S-SO 42- and to decrease Al3+ saturation.

Masculinity, race and national identity
Authors: Suzuki Satoko
Published: September 2020

Language ideologies have been of central concern to the study of Japanese language, gender and society. Many scholars have researched ideologies surrounding representations of Japanese women’s speech; however, investigations of representations of men’s speech have been limited. This study contributes to filling this gap through the analysis of non-Japanese male characters found in contemporary Japanese novels. The article reveals that authors assign strongly masculine expressions to their East Asian characters much more frequently than to their white characters and argues that these differentiated representations of non-Japanese male characters’ speech reproduce and are influenced by ideologies concerning cultural nationalism, racial determinism, class and sexuality. Linguistic data are presented that both unsettle the constructed image of Asian males as asexual beings and question the historically assumed relationship between gendered language and authenticity.
Nerdy girls talking gross
Authors: Unser-Schutz Giancarla
Published: September 2020

This article examines how people view language use in manga (Japanese comic books and graphic novels) through an analysis of posts on a Japanese online bulletin board system. The analysis uncovers three central assumptions regarding texts understood as manga: they lack linguistic sophistication; their linguistic authenticity is problematic; and they negatively impact real-world speech. In the posts, language in manga is often assigned a vaguely negative influence on communication skills, and engagement with manga is foregrounded as a problematic social issue. Beliefs about language in manga parallel commonly held beliefs about language used by otaku ‘nerds/fans’, suggesting that metapragmatic stereotypes have expanded from media users to the media itself. Such criticism often targets women: although otaku are normatively viewed as male, women seen as encroaching masculine forms of engagement with manga may also receive criticism. The article thus contributes to an understanding of how perceptions of language and gender in media are formed.
Creation of femininity in Japanese televised “beauty ads”
Authors: Konstantinovskaia Natalia
Published: September 2020

Advertising is a powerful tool that encapsulates and reinforces gender ideologies through the repeated presentation of stereotyped visions of femininity. In response to societal change, however, advertising has recently begun to incorporate postfeminist ideals of ‘power femininity’ alongside traditional gender stereotypes (Lazar 2014). In Japan, this duality is further complicated by the dominant spread of kawaii‘cuteness’, which has become a crucial feature of normative femininity. The present work demonstrates the importance of investigating Japanese television advertisements to uncover the layered nature of women’s portrayals, which blend traditional gender roles and the reigning contemporary ideology of kawaii, along with sporadic infusions of postfeminist values. Based on quantitative and qualitative multi-modal discourse analysis, this article examines the use of women’s language and visual images in 50 Japanese televised ‘beauty ads,’ exploring the tactics they use to maintain and promulgate an idealized but powerless femininity of kawaii.

O Complexo Industrial Portuário de Suape (CIPS) foi projetado na década de 1970 e teve seu funcionamento inicial em 1986, traçado com o objetivo primeiro de administrar as obras de implantação do Porto de Suape em substituição ao Porto do Recife. No ano de 2007, o CIPS esteve presente nas páginas dos jornais de Pernambuco como “o maior gerador de emprego e renda”. É possível que tenham sido celebrados acordos e investimentos financeiros entre o governo de Pernambuco e os grupos gestores e parceiros para a instalação de empreendimentos tanto na área do Complexo como no seu entorno. Por outro lado, percebe-se que, tanto para a instalação, como para o funcionamento dos empreendimentos, houve vários impactos no meio ambiente. No entanto, no período estudado, há a ausência de discussão, na mídia impressa, sobre os impactos ambientais gerados pelo Complexo na área de sua instalação e no seu entorno. Neste artigo, serão discutidas como as questões ideológicas imbricadas no discurso da imprensa podem valorizar os aspectos econômicos em detrimento dos aspectos ambientais. O corpus selecionado para análise é composto por três notícias publicadas nos jornais de Pernambuco: Diario de Pernambuco, Folha de Pernambuco e Jornal do Commercio, escolhidas de forma aleatória. A análise deixa entrever como o discurso da imprensa pode silenciar determinados aspectos em detrimento de outros, particularmente, quando se leva em consideração o poder e a ideologia que permeiam a prática social e discursiva.

Magnesium oxide type building boards are a relatively new alternative to traditional sheeting materials such as plywood, gypsum plasterboard and fibre-cement board. They have many advantages; strength, lightweight, ease of use and excellent fire resistance, which has become increasingly important as demanded by industry and required by more stringent legislation. Recently cases of durability issues associated with magnesium oxychloride boards in Denmark have emerged, however the precise nature of the problem was not established. These issues have been related to magnesium oxychloride boards which were exposed to high levels of moisture. In this paper the mechanism of the failures observed in Denmark has been investigated. The difference in quality between various magnesium oxychloride boards available in the market was also studied. It was found that there are significant differences, both physically and chemically, between magnesium oxychloride boards supplied from different manufacturers. Crucially, the performance of each board when exposed to high levels of relative humidity was vastly different. Some of the boards investigated displayed behaviour similar to that observed in Denmark, whilst other boards exhibited substantial resistance to humid environments and had not deteriorated after 60 weeks of exposure.

Aims. Patients admitted to epilepsy monitoring units (EMUs) for diagnostic and presurgical evaluation have an increased risk of seizure‐related injury, particularly in the many cases in which medication is withdrawn. The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of adverse events (AEs) in this setting and to analyse associated clinical factors and costs.

Methods. We evaluated consecutive patients admitted to an EMU at a tertiary care hospital over a 10‐year period based on a descriptive, longitudinal study. We analysed the occurrence of AEs (traumatic injury, psychiatric complications, status epilepticus, cardiorespiratory disturbances, and death), investigated potential risk factors using univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis, and compared admission costs between patients with and without AEs.

Results. In total, 411 EMU admissions were studied corresponding to 352 patients (55% women; mean [SD] age: 41.7 [12.1] years). Twenty‐five patients (6%) experienced an AE. The most common event was traumatic injury (n=9), followed by status epilepticus (n=8), psychiatric complications (n=7), and cardiorespiratory disturbances (n=1). On comparing patients with and without AEs, we observed that the former were more likely to experience generalized seizures (OR: 7.81; 95% CI: 3.51‐12.23; p<0.001) or have more seizures overall during admission (OR: 3.2; 95% CI: 1.42‐6.8; p=0.002). Patients with AEs also had longer EMU stays (6.91 [2.64] vs 5.08 [1.1]; p=0.004), longer hospital stays (8.45 [3.6] vs 5.18 [1.2]; p<0.001), and higher costs (€7277.71 [€2743.9] vs €5175.7 [€1182.5]; p<0.001).

Conclusion. Patients with generalized seizures and more seizures during admission were at greater risk of AEs, which were associated with higher admission costs.

Neurocysticercosis is a neglected and usually poverty‐related disease of high public importance. The mechanisms by which the calcified lesions cause epilepsy are not known, but have been attributed to residual perilesional gliosis or an inflammatory process. This case shows that an inflammatory response to a calcified granuloma may be associated with the development of epilepsy. The increase in glutamate and kinin B1 (pro‐epileptogenic) receptors added by reduced expression of kinin B2 (anti‐epileptogenic) receptors may explain the chronic epileptogenesis associated with the lesion, corroborating the hypothesis of inflammatory mechanisms involved in the pathophysiology of epilepsy in these patients.
Epidiolex‐induced skin rash
Authors: Singh Jaysingh , Antimisiaris Marika‐Foteni
Published: September 2020

Epidiolex® (cannabidiol, aka CBD) is a recently approved FDA prescription drug for the treatment of epilepsy associated with Lennox‐Gastaut and Dravet syndromes, and is increasingly used for treatment‐resistant epilepsy. Rash was rarely reported in Epidiolex® clinical trial data. We report a case of Epidiolex®‐related skin rash that developed in a delayed fashion in a 23‐year‐old female with medically refractory epilepsy. We also review the potential mechanism of Epidiolex®‐related skin rash.

Amaç: Çocuklarda akut gastroenterit yüksek mortalite ve morbidite ile seyredebilmektedir. Akut gastroenterit tanı ve tedavi yaklaşımlarında viral etkenler çoğunlukla göz ardı edilerek endikasyon dışı ampirik antibiyotik kullanılması çok sık rastlanılan bir durumdur. Bu çalışmada çocuk polikliniğine akut gastroenterit nedeniyle başvuran hastalardaki rotavirüs ve adenovirüs sıklığının belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve yöntemler: Ocak 2018-Ocak 2019 tarihleri arasında hastanemize ishal nedeniyle başvuran 518 hasta retrospektif olarak incelendi. Dışkı örneklerinde rotavirus ve adenovirus antijenlerinin varlığı immünokromatografik yöntemle ROTA/ADENO (Acrobiotech, USA) kiti ile üretici firma önerileri doğrultusunda kalitatif olarak değerlendirildi.

Bulgular: Çalışmaya 518 ishalli olgu alındı. 49 olguda (% 9.4) rotavirüs antijen pozitif, 5 vakada (%0.96) adenovirüs pozitif idi. Mevsimlere göre değerlendirildiğinde; rotavirüs %18 lik bir oran ile en sık kış ayında görüldü, adenovirüs ise %2.5 ile en sık sonbaharda rastlandı. Yaşlara göre bakıldığında ise rotavirüs ve adenovirüs en sık 6-10 yaş arasında saptandı.
Sonuç: Akut gastroenteritlerin tanı ve tedavisinde özellikle kış aylarında rotavirüs ve adenovirüs etken olarak düşünülmelidir. Rotavirüs oranının literatürden daha düşük çıkması aşılanma bilincinin artmasına bağlanabilir. Rutin aşı takvimine girerse bu oranın daha da azalacağını düşünüyoruz.
Nation Reiﬁcation or “Nationalizing Nationalism” from the Perspective of International Law
Authors: Tolstykh Vladislav , Aasi Joni
Published: September 2020

National reiﬁcation takes place when the state deﬁnes itself as a tool to protect the interests of a particular ethnic group and tries to create a homogeneous society uniﬁed on the basis of linguistic, cultural, historical, ideological and religious principles. This inevitably leads to the monopolization of politics (common good) by the majority’s culture, and at the same time, to the marginalization and exclusion of the minority’s culture and its obliteration in the future. This marginalization does not imply a discrimination because the minority is not denied civil rights, but its political activity from now on implies an engagement with the majority’s culture. This eﬀect appears in waves. The ﬁrst wave preceded World War II; the second wave started in the nineties and aﬀected the new post-Soviet and Eastern European countries. National reiﬁcation is closely related to the principle of democracy; since the minority retains this obviously ineﬀective right to participate, all other forms of protest become inaccessible to it. National reiﬁcation is an objective and general tendency of the modern day. It ﬁlls the legitimacy deﬁcit and not only “launches” a new state, but also generates internal threats that justify its existence. As a result, from the very ﬁrst days, a new state is being created as a totalitarian and emergency one that can use extreme, but justiﬁed and legitimate measures. The principle of self-determination cannot be used against the process of national reiﬁcation as it implies an obligation of conduct and has a narrow scope. Moreover, its beneﬁciaries, by not being states, are deprived of the procedural tools needed to protect their rights. It could be interpreted diﬀerently: we should recognize the right to secession for the nations faced with the choice of obeying or losing identity. This interpretation, however, is an unrealizable utopia. Human rights are completely helpless in the face of national reiﬁcation or, rather, are indiﬀerent to it. The reason is a fundamental denial of the collective principle. Therefore, international law does not solve the problem of national reiﬁcation. On the contrary, all the structures of the modern order (statehood, legitimacy, democracy, human rights, international law, etc.) generate this problem. The solution of the problem is vitally important and, at the same time, extremely diﬃcult. It cannot be cosmetic, but should aﬀect the very foundations of international law.
