Predictors of adverse outcomes in pregnant women with intrauterine hematoma
Authors: SOYKAN SERT Zekiye
Published: October 2022

To investigate the relationship between clinical features evaluated at presentation and the presence of adverse maternal or perinatal outcomes in pregnant women with intrauterine hematoma (IUH). Pregnant women aged 18 years and over who were diagnosed with IUH and had a single live fetus of six to 12 weeks at that time were retrospectively reviewed for the period from January 1, 2019 to July 30, 2021. The patients were divided into two groups according to the presence or absence of adverse pregnancy outcomes after IUH. The clinical features of the patients were evaluated. The effect of clinical factors on adverse pregnancy outcomes was determined using the logistic regression analysis. We found adverse pregnancy outcomes in 31.6% (n=42) of 133 patients included in the study. According to the multiple logistic regression analysis, age≥35 years [odds ratio (OR): 2.62, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.16-4.37, p<0.001], presence of vaginal bleeding (OR: 2.53, 95% CI: 1.34-3.89, p=0.001), hematoma size≥4 cm (OR: 2.38, 95% CI: 1.08-4.15, p=0.023) and presence of retroplacental hematoma (OR: 2.44, 95% CI: 1.68-3.56, p<0.001) were risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes. In the presence of IUH, pregnant women aged ≥35 years and those with vaginal bleeding, hematoma size of ≥4 cm, and retroplacental hematoma are at risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes. These factors can help identify pregnant women who require close monitoring.

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) increase the risk of endometrial cancer (EC). Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is related with MetS and share many risk factors with EC that may have significant roles in its development; however, the relationship between NAFLD and EC remains unclear. 207 patients who were operated for endometrial cancer in our hospital between 2011 and 2015, and 243 gynecological patients without a history of malignancy who were randomly selected as the control group. NAFLD was diagnosed based on abdominal ultrasonography findings. There was no significant difference presence of diabetes mellitus and ALT, AST levels between EC group and control group. In EC group, age, body masss indeks (BMI), hypertension and NAFLD were significantly higher than those in control group (P < 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that age and NAFLD are independent risk factors for presence of EC. Age and NAFLD were a possible independent risk factor for EC in the present study. Therefore, a multi-center and large-population study will be needed to prove our conclusions.

Authors: YAVUZCAN Gizem
Published: October 2022

Aging is an unavoidable process affecting all organ systems including the skin. The elderly population is defined as people aged ≥65 years, and the elderly population is growing worldwide. The present study aims to determine the prevalence of dermatological diseases in the elderly patients aged ≥65 years and evaluate sociodemographic characteristics. The data of 300 geriatric patients aged ≥65 years who were admitted to our clinic between October 2013 and January 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Of these patients, 130 (43.3%) were female and 170 (57.7%) were male. The mean age of the patients was 73.57 ±6.80 years. Eczematous dermatitis was detected in 77 of patients (25.7%). Of these patients, 135 (45%) had xerosis. The most common benign skin tumor was isolated seborrheic keratosis (n=82,58%). Actinic keratosis comprised the majority of malignant and premalignant lesions that occurred in 25 patients (8.3%). Cellulitis was the most common bacterial skin infection that occurred in 21 patients (7%). The rate of lichen planus was 0.6% in males and significantly more common in females with a rate of 3.1% (p=0.09; p<0.05). The rate of xerosis was 39.2% in patients aged 65-74 years, 53% in patients aged 75-84 years, and 54.2% in patients aged ≥85 years. The relationship between age and the rate of xerosis showed a borderline significance (p=0.05; p<0.05). Keeping in mind the most common dermatological problems in geriatric patients would enable early diagnosis of the conditions and selection of appropriate therapies.

SCUBE1 and CAIX levels were investigated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in serum samples from 19 patients with bladder cancer and 25 healthy peers. Levels of both were significantly higher in the BC group compared with the control group (p=0.0001). Based on ROC analysis, SCUBE1 emerged as a sensitive test, similarly to CAIX, for identifying BC. These findings suggest that increased SCUBE1 levels may be a useful addition to clinical findings of disease in the diagnosis of BC patients.
Novel coronavirus infection and rhabdomyolysis
Authors: ALTUNOK İbrahim
Published: October 2022

Influenza A virus subtype is associated with several viruses, including H1N1 and SARS-CoV-1. It has been reported in the literature that some patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome or H1N1 infection show mild to moderate increases in serum CK levels. Similarly, in many case reports in the literature, a case of SARS-CoV-2 associated rhabdomyolysis has been reported. Haroun et al. showed that rhabdomyolysis is associated with increased mortality in patients with COVID-19. Gang et al. reported that rhabdomyolysis was associated with in-hospital mortality in their study in hospitalized patients. The mechanism of muscle damage in viral infections, especially SARS-CoV-2, is not fully understood. Possible explanations suggested including direct and indirect mechanisms. The most important possible explanation is that the virus directly causes muscle damage. The presence of angiotensin converting enzyme 2, which is defined as the functional receptor for SARS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2, in skeletal muscles is one of the data supporting this theory in the literature. However, in postmortem examinations SARS-CoV was not detectable in skeletal muscle, and it is therefore unclear whether SARS-CoV-2 directly infects muscle. The second plausible explanation postulates that the cytokine storm-like immune response may lead to skeletal muscle damage. The muscle pain seen in patients during viremia and the accompanying high CK levels support the first explanation. Late rhabdomyolysis seen in hospitalized patients support the second explanation.

We have read the article titled “Evaluation of Covid-19 cases that applied to the hospital at the first peak of the pandemic” prepared by Akdoğan et al. with great interest. Firstly, we thank authors for their research from Turkey that aims create an alternative diagnosis method by using some laboratory parameters in the early phase of COVID-19. Although the study resulted in negative results, these studies of academics from Turkey for humanity at a time when the whole world was affected by the pandemic are commendable. Secondly, we thank the authors and the editorial board for their courage in publishing this negative article that is informative and successful manuscript. As mentioned in an article published in nature, highlighting negative results will improve science. We also would like to mention a few important points about ideal predictor studies in the early phase of COVID-19.
Reconstruction of the primary stratigraphy and correlation of the Precambrian metamorphic complexes in the Rhodope massif
Authors:   Geological Institute, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 1113 Sofia, Kozhoukharova Evgenia
Published: October 2022

The lithological analysis of the metamorphic rocks in the Rhodope massif, taking into consideration the lateral variability of their primary composition, polymetamorphic effects and tectonic deformations, demonstrates that prior to the metamorphism the upper Rhodopian Supergroup is composed of two complexes: lower volcano-sedimentary and upper calcareous ones. The lower complex after the metamorphism is composed of metaophiolites (serpentinites, amphibolites, metagabbroids) in the lower levels), mica schists, marbles, quartzites, jaspilites, called Variegated Formation. The upper complex is composed of marbles interlayered with schists. There are two types of Variegated Formation: à. Western Rhodopian (Satovcha) type with ophiolites prevailing in lower layers and b. Central Rhodopian (Lukovitsa) type with sedimentary rocks prevailing. A new correlation scheme of the lithostratigraphic units from Precambrian blocks in South Bulgaria is presented.
Amphibolite-facies metamorphic complexes in Bulgaria and Precambrian geodynamics: controversies and “state of the art”
Authors:   Geological Institute, Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, 1113 Sofia, Zagorchev Ivan
Published: October 2022

The evolution of the ideas about the basement complexes on the Balkan Peninsula has developed from the initial attribution to a single and uniform Precambrian complex towards differentiation, and recognition of different protoliths that underwent polymetamorphic and multideformational histories. Correlation between metamorphic complexes distinguished in different Alpine and/or Hercynian tectonic zones should be made only when a detailed knowledge were obtained on all significant features of the protoliths and the superimposed metamorphic and structural events. The now available petrologic information is still insufficient to fully understand and outline the complex 3D history of the region.
Mémoires historiques. Le récit de soi extrabiographique dans Notes de bas de page et La Flamme
Authors: Lorinquer-Hervé Marie
Published: October 2022

Les romans graphiques Notes de bas de page et La Flamme, publiés à trois ans d’intervalle par des auteur·rice·s argentin·e·s installé·e·s en Europe, ont en commun d’insérer la dernière dictature militaire argentine dans des trames temporelles et géographiques qui la débordent. Cet article analyse la façon dont des événements peu ou pas vécus de manière directe par Vollenweider et González sont paradoxalement racontés à travers le récit de soi. Sont ainsi interrogées la séparation de la catégorie des bandes dessinées de témoignage entre l’autobiographie et le récit sociohistorique et en dernière instance, certaines des modalités selon lesquelles la bande dessinée argentine actuelle reprend à la fois le vœu des années 1980 d’une réalité locale faite « materia aventurable », et l’investissement politique de la bande dessinée des années 1960 et 1970.

Authors: Ковальцова Екатерина Владимировна , Майданский Максим Андреевич
Published: October 2022

Исследуется африканская культурная идентичность на примере художественной англоязычной литературы авторов из ЮАР, публиковавшихся преимущественно в журнале Drum в середине XX века. События, происходившие в течение первой половины XX века в Южно-Африканской Республике, не могли не отразиться на языковом дискурсе жителей страны. Основное внимание уделяется использованию южноафриканскими писателями исторически чуждого для них английского языка для выражения в нем африканской культуры; на материале южноафриканских журналов была исследована степень связи английского и местных языков в сфере употребления модальных глаголов у коренных народов Южной Африки, идиом и языковой интерференции. Показано, что использование южноафриканскими авторами английского языка в произведениях способствовало дальнейшему развитию южноафриканского территориального варианта английского языка в местной литературе. Результаты исследования могут быть использованы в сфере контактной лингвистики, этнолингвистики и социолингвистики.

The capital market, as one of the main components of the financial markets, plays an important role in the economic development of countries. As financial markets become more globalized through the free flow of capital and international trade, price fluctuations in financial assets also affect other assets and markets. Due to the high impact of foreign exchange, gold, and oil markets on other financial markets, this study examined the impact of these markets on the Tehran Stock Exchange market from April 2015 to March 2021. In this regard, US dollar, ounces of gold, and crude oil are used as independent variables, and Tehran Price Index (TEPIX) is considered as a dependent variable. The results of the final model indicate that the prices of dollars, gold, and oil had significant effects on the total price index of the Tehran Stock Exchange.

Published: October 2022

The capital market is one of the most critical pillars of financial markets, which plays an important role in countries' economies. With the increasing development of international trade and the free flow of capital, financial asset prices spread to other assets. The extend is increasing with the expansion of communication networks as well as the close connection of financial markets to each other. Therefore, the state of a market is not only specific to itself but also affects other financial markets. Global oil, gold, and basic metal prices, including palladium, significantly influence the American financial markets. Due to the importance of the Nasdaq index for investors' investment decisions, this study analyzes the impact of oil, gold, and palladium metal prices on the Nasdaq index monthly between 2016 and 2021. Based on the final model, the oil and gold markets significantly impact the Nasdaq index, while palladium has a less significant impact.
Güncel Bilgiler Işığında Taktik Muharebe Yaralı Bakımı
Authors: KALEMOGLU Ecem , KALEMOGLU Murat
Published: October 2022

Taktik Muharebe Yaralı Bakımı, 1996 yılında ilk ele alınan ve sivil tıbbi müdahale algoritmalarından oldukça önemli farklılıklar gösteren bir tıbbi müdahale şeklidir. Silahlı çatışma alanlarında yapılıyor olması, bu algoritma değişikliklerini hem özel hem de gerekli kılar. Harp şartları ve yerel imkânlardaki sınırlılıklar ile tahliyede yaşanabilecek aksaklıklar, yapılabilecek tedavi seçeneklerini sivil yaralanma algoritmalarının dışına çıkarmıştır. Taktik Muharebe Yaralı Bakımı Algoritmaları 1996 yılı sonrası 2003, 2015 ve 2021 yılları arasında her yıl güncellenmiştir. Vietnam, Irak ve Afganistan savaşlarında elde edilen veriler ışığında düzenlenen bu güncellemeler sahadaki personelin eğitilmesi suretiyle hayata geçmektedir. Çatışma altında ölümlerin önemli bir kısmının bu algoritmaların uygulanması ile önlenebileceği gösterilmiştir. Askeri hastanelerin artık faal olmadığı ülkemizde Askeri Hekim sayısı da son yıllarda artış göstermesine rağmen, istenilen sayıda değildir. Yurdumuzda karşılaşılan sağlık hadiselerinde sivil sağlık personeli ile desteklenmekte ise de harp alanlarında bu hekimlerden faydalanma oranları kısıtlıdır. Sağlık personeli olmayan silahlı personelin tıbbi müdahaleleri uygulamaları ile ilgili olan hukuki ve idari boşluk 22.03.2016 tarih ve 29661 sayılı Resmi Gazetede yayınlanan “Sağlık Meslek Mensubu Olmayan Personelin Sağlık Personeli Yokluğunda Yapmaya Yetkili Oldukları Acil Tıbbi Müdahaleler Hakkında Yönetmelik” ile giderilmiştir. Bu personelin “Taktik Muharebe Yaralı Bakımı” eğitimi, çatışma alanındaki ölüm riskini azaltmada en önemli etken olacaktır. Ayrıca Askeri Hasar Kontrol Resüsitasyonunu da içeren tıbbi ilaç ve malzemelerdeki gelişim ve ilerlemeler, yaralanma sonrası ölüm insidansını azaltmada daha da etkin rol oynayacaktır.

Published: October 2022

The world first met the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Wuhan, China in December 2019. It has continued to increase its influence from the first encounter until today. The detection of this virus, which has caused the death of many, is of great importance today. There are many approaches to the detection of this disease. One of the most effective of these approaches is the detection of COVID-19 disease using chest X-Ray images. In this paper, an intelligent system was proposed to classify normal, pneumonia patients and COVID-19 patients using chest X-Ray images. The proposed system was composed of four stage. At first, all images in the dataset were pre-processed. Then for the feature extraction uniform Local Binary Pattern (LBP) and DenseNet201 deep learning models were used. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm was used to select effective features. The determined effective features were classified by support vector machine (SVM). Accuracy and AUC parameters were used as performance criteria. Evaluated accuracy and AUC values were 99.9%, 1.00, respectively. The dataset and proposed model codes are made publicly available at: https://github.com/mfatiho/covid-detection-chest-xray

Published: October 2022

Recently, the researchers working in the field of science and engineering have paid a considerable attention to the concept of the system identification to tackle with complex optimization problems. It is feasible to achieve more accurate models of physical plants with the infinite impulse response (IIR) models compared to their finite counterparts (FIR). To get the most out of the IIR models for the system identification, metaheuristic optimization algorithms can be used as efficient solutions. This work, therefore, aims to demonstrate more promising performance of a new metaheuristic algorithm named slime mould algorithm. In this regard, a comparative assessment is performed using different metaheuristic optimization techniques and different IIR model identification problems are considered. The slime mould algorithm is shown to achieve better accuracy and robustness in terms of IIR model identification with the help of obtained statistical results.

Data security is very crucial for communication systems. Encryption methods are frequently used to ensure security. Chaotic oscillators are used for the encryption of data because they produce signals that do not repeat themselves. Identical chaotic oscillators should be used and synchronized with each other in order to perform encryption and decryption processes healthily. In this study, the encrypted data and synchronization signal are transmitted to the receiver side using the frequency division multiplexing (FDM) method to realize the synchronization between two chaotic oscillators. High-frequency keying is used to increase the encryption quality of the signal to be encrypted on the transmitter side. Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control is used to provide synchronization between two chaotic oscillators. The correlation test, peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE) and spectral entropy were used to determine the accuracy relationship between the original signal and the decryption signal. As a result, simulation programs and numerical analysis verified the encryption success and reliability of the created system.
Effect of Different Drying Processes on Antioxidant and Antidiabetic Properties of Pomegranate Press Wastes
Authors: OKUMUŞ Emine
Published: October 2022

Today, with the understanding of the favourable effects of fruit consumption on health, the consumption of pomegranate has increased gradually, and solution methods were sought to evaluate the peel and seed parts that emerge after the fruit is sorted. In this study, the effects of different drying processes (microwave, drying oven, and freeze-drying) and different extraction solvents (ethanol and methanol) on the antioxidant and antidiabetic activities of pomegranate press wastes were investigated. While the highest total phenolic content (TPC) was in freeze-dried methanolic extracts (5758.70 mg GAE 100 g-1), the highest total flavonoid content (TFC) and total monomeric anthocyanin (MA) contents were determined in microwave-dried ethanolic extracts with values of 1068.75 mg QE 100 g-1 dw and 215.44 mg cyn-3-glu 100 g-1, respectively. All samples had higher α-glucosidase inhibitory activity compared to acarbose. The results showed that pomegranate press waste, which is thought to have no use in the food industry, is a potential resource that can be used in the pharmacology and cosmetics industries as well as its use as a food supplement; thanks to its high antioxidant and antidiabetic properties.

Authors: GÜR MAZLUM Sümeyye , ŞENYURT Süleyman , BEKTAŞ Mehmet
Published: October 2022

In this study, we examine some properties of Salkowski curves in $\mathbb{E}^{3}$. We then make sense of the angle $(nt)$ in the parametric equation of the Salkowski curves. We provide the relationship between this angle and the angle between the binormal vector and the Darboux vector of the Salkowski curves. Through this angle, we obtain the unit vector in the direction of the Darboux vector of the curve. Finally, we calculate the modified orthogonal frames with both the curvature and the torsion and give the relationships between the Frenet frame and the modified orthogonal frames of the curve.
Random Ensemble MARS: Model Selection in Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines Using Random Forest Approach
Authors: SABANCI Dilek , CENGİZ Mehmet Ali
Published: October 2022

Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) is a supervised learning model in machine learning, not obtained by an ensemble learning method. Ensemble learning methods are gathered from samples comprising hundreds or thousands of learners that serve the common purpose of improving the stability and accuracy of machine learning algorithms. This study presented REMARS (Random Ensemble MARS), a new MARS model selection approach obtained using the Random Forest (RF) algorithm. 200 training and test data set generated via the Bagging method were analysed in the MARS analysis engine. At the end of the analysis, two different MARS model sets were created, one yielding the smallest Mean Square Error for the test data (Test MSE) and the other yielding the smallest Generalised Cross-Validation (GCV) value. The best model was estimated for both Test MSE and GCV criteria by examining the error of measurement criteria, variable importance averages, and frequencies of the knot values for each model. Eventually, a new model was obtained via the ensemble learning method, i.e., REMARS, that yields result as good as the MARS model obtained from the original data set. The MARS model, which works better in the larger data set, provides more reliable results with smaller data sets utilising the proposed method.

High risk behaviour in adolescents
Authors: Manwani Kamal G. , Gupta Mahima , Chaturvedi Shikha
Published: October 2022

Background: High-risk behaviours are a set of behaviours which pose an increased risk of physical, social or emotional problems to an individual and society at large. These behaviours manifest as violence, substance use, risky sexual behaviour, suicide, and eating disorders. Adolescence is the age group that has the highest propensity for detrimental impact by the adverse consequences of such high risk behaviours. The available literature in related fields bears extensive information regarding the factors leading to high risk behaviours in adolescents. In spite of these in depth studies and well explored facts, there is a lack in required interventions at a grassroots level to contain this issue. The aim of this article is to review the literature in this area and provide comprehensive insights pertaining to the factors contributing to high risk behaviour in adolescents. It also looks at suggesting a way forward. It provides comprehensive insights pertaining to the factors contributing to high risk behaviour in adolescents. It concludes, high risk behaviour in adolescents is not a phenomenon that can be attributed to a single factor. It is an interplay of various factors that determine, influence and make adolescents more susceptible to risk taking.

Megosin is the original derivative of gossypol. Previously, the drug was obtained by condensation of gossypol with β-aminoethylsulfate sodium and used as an immunosuppressive agent, which was a low-toxic substance and contributed to a longer engraftment of skin flaps in mice, kidneys and lungs in dogs. Further, it was used as an antiherpetic agent, in the form of a 3% ointment. At present, the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry, on the basis of existing dosage forms, has developed megosin enteric capsules for the treatment of ulcerative colitis and conducted histological studies, which proved the ulcer-healing effect of the new dosage form of megosin.

Published: October 2022

México es el país con la mayor diversidad de especies de Quercus (encinos orobles) en el mundo. La perturbación de los bosques donde se encuentran ha ocasionado el deterioro de la salud forestal, en la que están implicados tanto agentes bióticos como abióticos. En varias entidades de México, los encinares han sido objeto de estudio desde un enfoque fitopatológico por presentar la sintomatología reconocida como declinamiento. Con el fin de atraer la atención hacia esta problemática, se llevó a cabo una revisión de literatura sobre el estado del arte en materia de salud. Se concluye que en México el entendimiento de la etiología del declinamiento y muerte del encino aún es incipiente, por lo que se requieren estudios a nivel local, principalmente. La colaboración entre los diferentes actores que tienen a su cargo el cuidado, estudio y manejo de los bosques es fundamental, de otra manera, enfrentaremos la perturbación en las interacciones bióticas, riesgos de pérdida de la riqueza de especies de encinos a nivel local, detrimento del valor comercial de los recursos maderables y efectos directos e indirectos sobre las comunidades humanas.

Bilocated Identities: Taking the Fork in the Road in Against the Day
Authors: Aghoro Nathalie
Published: October 2022

Offering one of the first critical receptions on identity in Thomas Pynchon’s latest novel beyond the reviews, this paper seeks to show that bilocation, a fictional disposition affecting personal mobility in Against The Day, brings up the question of what we are by suggesting what we could be. It investigates how the novel redefines and enlarges concepts of identity by exploring several aspects of sameness and selfhood exposed to a very special kind of migration: Being in two places, countries, or worlds at the same time, a multiplicity of characters in Against The Day opt for the excluded middle when a fork in the road presents itself. The paper investigates these new forms of identity in the novel and explores their impact on philosophical concepts such as the notion of a seamless continuity of identity, the role of subjectivity for identity, and the concept of a narrative identity.
