Published: April 2022

In this study, the possibility of the industrial application of terahertz (THz) imaging technology was verified. It was applied to the inspection of voids in multistack semiconductors that require safe inspection and to the high-resolution detection and inspection of foreign substances in tablets in the pharmaceutical field. To acquire a high-resolution THz image, a resonant slit probe operating in the THz region was designed, and a high-speed scanning system was established. For the inspection of a multistack semiconductor, a lateral scan method was proposed, and voids with a diameter of 0.5 mm in the multistack semiconductor were detected. In addition, the proposed probe even enables the distinguishment of the positions of voids in the multistack semiconductor. For pharmaceutical inspection, we investigated the application of THz imaging to detect mixed foreign objects frequently occurring in the tablet manufacturing process. For metals, plastics, and rubber, which are the most frequently mixed materials in the tablet manufacturing process, the foreign objects were identified in tablets using a transmission THz system. The measured THz image was compared with the conventional X-ray test result to confirm the potential of THz inspection. In the X-ray image, only metal and some polymer foreign objects were detected. In contrast, in the THz image, although the materials could not be distinguished, most foreign substances were detected. Consequently, the THz imaging test was verified as a possible new tool in fields where X-ray or existing tests are not possible.
Transparent Liquid Multiple-Antenna Array with a High Gain and Beam Diversity for UHD TV Applications
Authors: Phan Duy Tung , Jung Chang Won
Published: April 2022

The design of television (TV) antennas for commercial use that operate on the ultra-high frequency (UHF) band has become more challenging given the relatively large size of these antennas and considering that they typically do not conform to aesthetically pleasing standards. This paper presents a transparent liquid multiple-antenna array for ultra-high-definition TV (UHD TV) applications (470–770 MHz; 48.5%). The motivation behind the use of multiple antennas is that a single transparent antenna normally performs poorly given the low conductivity of transparent conductors. The multiple-antenna array here consists of two saltwater antenna elements with high optical transparency (>90%). The antenna elements are organized in three working modes to achieve higher gain and omnidirectional characteristics. Experimental results find that the antenna in array mode shows a high gain of up to 5.27 dBi in the UHF band, while the diversity mode shows various beam patterns with good diversity gain outcomes. These results demonstrate the potential of the proposed multiple-antenna array to increase the reception rate of UHD TV applications.

Published: April 2022

Background

Increasing resistance to antibiotics poses medical challenges worldwide. Prospective data on carriage prevalence of multidrug resistant organisms (MDRO) in children at hospital admission are limited and associated risk factors are poorly defined.

Aim

To determine prevalence of MDRO carriage in children at admission to our paediatric hospital in Hamburg and to identify MDRO carriage risk factors.

Methods

We prospectively obtained and cultured nasal/throat and inguinal/anal swabs from children (≤ 18 years) at admission between September 2018 and May 2019 to determine prevalence of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria (MRGN) and vancomycin-resistant enterococcus (VRE) and associated species. We collected medical histories using a questionnaire and evaluated 31 risk factors using logistic regression models.

Results

MDRO carriage prevalence of 3,964 children was 4.31% (95% confidence interval (CI): 3.69–5.00). MRSA carriage prevalence was 0.68% (95% CI: 0.44–0.99), MRGN prevalence was 3.64% (95% CI: 3.07–4.28) and VRE prevalence 0.08% (95% CI: 0.02–0.22). MDRO carriage was associated with MRGN history (odds ratio (OR): 6.53; 95% CI: 2.58–16.13), chronic condition requiring permanent care (OR: 2.67; 95% CI: 1.07–6.13), antibiotic therapy (OR: 1.92, 95% CI: 1.24–2.94), living in a care facility (OR: 3.34; 95% CI: 0.72–12.44) and refugee status in previous 12 months (OR: 1.91; 95% CI: 0.27–8.02). Compared to established practice, screening using risk-factors had better diagnostic sensitivity (86.13%; 95% CI: 80.89–91.40) and specificity (73.54%; 95% CI: 72.12–74.97).

Conclusion

MRGN carriage was higher than MRSA and VRE. Extended risk-factor-based admission screening system seems warranted.

Published: April 2022

Background

While human-to-human transmission of Clostridioides difficile occurs often, other infection sources, including food, animals and environment, are under investigation.

Aim

We present a large study on C. difficile in a food item in Europe, encompassing 12 European countries (Austria, France, Greece, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, Romania and the United Kingdom).

Methods

Potato was selected because of availability, ease of sampling and high C. difficile positivity rates. Identical protocols for sampling and isolation were used, enabling a direct comparison of the C. difficile positivity rate.

Results

From C. difficile-positive potato samples (33/147; 22.4%), we obtained 504 isolates, grouped into 38 PCR ribotypes. Positivity rates per country varied (0–100%) and were at least 10% in 9/12 countries. No geographical clustering of samples with high positivity rates or in PCR ribotype distribution was observed. The most frequently detected PCR ribotypes (014/020, 078/126, 010 and 023) are also commonly reported in Europe among human clinically relevant isolates, in animal isolates and in the environment. Whole genome sequencing revealed several genetically related strain pairs (Spain/RT126, France/RT010, Austria and Sweden/RT276) and a cluster of very similar strains in RT078/126.

Conclusion

Our results suggest, the high potato contamination rates could have public health relevance. They indicate potatoes can serve as a vector for introducing C. difficile spores in the household environment, where the bacterium can then multiply in sensitive hosts with disrupted or unmature microbiota. Potato contamination with PCR ribotypes shared between humans, animals and soil is supportive of this view.

Published: April 2022

Bir dildeki söz varlığının genişliği ve söz yapım yollarının işlevselliği o dilin anlam üretme kabiliyetini göstermesi açısından önemlidir. Sözcük üretim imkânları geniş olan diller, kavramlara karşılık üretmekte çok fazla zorlanmaz. Türkçe, sondan eklemeli yapısıyla sözcük türetme konusunda sınırsız seçeneğe sahip bir dildir. Çalışmanın konusunu teşkil eden Harezm Türkçesi (11-12.yy.); Oğuz, Kıpçak ve diğer yerli halkların Harezm bölgesinde birlikte yaşayarak kaynaşmasıyla meydana getirdikleri karma özellikte bir yapı arz eder. Karahanlı Türkçesi ile Çağatay Türkçesi arasında bir geçiş niteliği taşıyan dönem eserlerindeki söz varlığı ve sözcük türetmede kullanılan yapısal unsurlar da bu etnik kaynaşmadan dolayı çeşitlilikler gösterir. Bu karma yapının belirlenmesinde yapısal biçimlerin kullanımı dikkat çeker. Eski Türkçeden itibaren işlek olarak kullanılan –A eki Harezm Türkçesi eserlerinde sözcük türetmede yararlanılan eklerdendir. Tek şekilli ve çok işlevli bir ek olan –A, yapım eki görevinde adlaştırma ve eylemleştirme eki olarak isimlerden isim ve fiil; fiillerden yine fiil ve isim türetir. Kimi zaman türetim ekleri cümlelerde türetim işlevi dışında farklı çekim görevleri ile de kullanılırlar. -A eki de isim soylu sözcüklere eklenerek onların cümlelerde diğer sözcüklerle ilişki kurmasını sağladığında ve fiil kök ya da gövdelerine eklenerek cümlelere tasarlama anlamı kattığında çekim eki işlevi görür. Çalışmada Harezm Türkçesinde tek şekilli ve çok işlevli bir ek olan -A eki işlevleri yönünden incelenerek Türkçenin sınırlı biçimlerle sınırsız anlam ifade etme yeterliliği gösterilmeye çalışılmıştır.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ECONOMIC GROWTH AND HEALTH, R&D EXPENDITURES AND UNEMPLOYMENT IN TURKEY / Türkiye'de Ekonomik Büyüme İle Sağlık, Ar-Ge Harcamaları Ve İşsizlik İlişkisi
Authors: ŞENOL Neslihan , ONARAN Sema
Published: April 2022

Human capital, being one of the important factors affecting economic growth, has gained more importance especially since the beginning of the 1990s and the interest in this field has increased in economic growth studies. The increase in human capital accumulation contributes to the economic growth. Today, technological developments and R&D activities play an effective role in ensuring sustainable economic growth. Although the existence of a negative relationship between economic growth and unemployment is generally accepted in the economic theory, it is still a controversial issue because unemployment is a multidimensional problem. In this study, the relationship between economic growth and health expenditures, R&D expenditures, and unemployment in Turkey was investigated by using time series analysis for the period of 1990-2020. Johansen co-integration analysis results revealed that there is a long-run relationship between economic growth and health expenditures, R&D expenditures and unemployment in Turkey. The results of the study reveal that a positive change in the levels of health and R&D expenditures in Turkey has a positive contribution to economic growth, while there is a negative relationship between the level of unemployment and economic growth.
HEDGE FUND STRATEGIES: PERFORMANCE, RISK AND DIVERSIFICATION OPPORTUNITIES / Hedge Fon Stratejileri: Performans, Risk Ve Çeşitlendirme Fırsatları
Authors: BENMAHİ Hind , AVCI Emin
Published: April 2022

This study aimed at comparing the performances of distinct hedge fund strategies and assessing the diversification opportunities using hedge funds. This paper analyses the overall performance of distinct hedge fund strategies (as indices) for the period of 2001-2020. Hedge fund performances are compared using alternative risk adjusted performance metrics; first, alpha based on four asset-pricing models (CAPM, Fama-French 3 factor, Carhart and Fama-French 5 factor models); then, the Sharpe ratio. The findings of the study revealed that almost all hedge fund strategies outperform the benchmark return (MSCI World Index) and are superior in terms of risk/return measures. The alternative risk metrics used in the calculation of risk-adjusted performances did not cause a dramatic change in the rank ordering of the hedge fund strategies.

A Dialogue Between Past and Current Excavations at Heliopolis: The Case Study of Schiaparelli’s “Tempio del Sole” and Area 232
Authors: Ugliano Federica , Dietze Klara
Published: April 2022

The archaeological biography of the site of Heliopolis starts at the very beginning of its secular history. In spite of its major role in European perceptions of ancient Egyptian culture, until now only little is known about the ancient metropolis, as no systematic excavations were undertaken here until recent times.

The aim of this paper is to shed light on the relation between the excavations conducted at Matariya/Heliopolis by the M.A.I (Missione Archeologica Italiana) between 1903 and 1906 and the archaeological investigations currently being conducted at the site by the Egyptian-German mission, focusing on the case study of the economic precinct of the Late to Ptolemaic Period (Area 232) in the main temple temenos of the sun god.

Thanks to an ongoing dialogue between past and current excavations, for the first time ever it is now possible to understand the architectural evolution of the site and situate some of Ernesto Schiaparelli’s most remarkable finds now stored in the Museo Egizio (Italy), including the fragments of the naoi of Djoser and Sethi I, within their original archaeological context.

The effect of cuprous oxide and petrol on albino rats was studied using selected parameters associated with rat haematology and semen. The haematological parameters evaluated were Pack cell volume (PCV), Haemoglobin (Hb), Red blood cell (RBC), Mean corpuscular Volume (McV), Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (McH) and Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration(McHc), while the semen analysis carried out includes; Motility quantitative (M1), Debris quantitative (D1), sperm count (C), morphology primordial (Mp) and morphology structure (Ms). The results revealed the following; Group 1, 2, 3 and 4 had a mean value of 43.0, 31.0, 26.75 and 23.75 respectively for PCV with significant difference (P<0.05) in all the treated groups when compared to the control group. (Hb) had a mean value of 13.65, 9.475, 9.50 and 11.075 for group 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively with a significant difference (P<0.05) recorded in group 2 and 3 when compared to the control. Group 1, 2, 3 and 4 had a mean value of 4.968, 2.965, 1.63 and 1.815 respectively for red blood cell (RBC) with significant difference (P<0.05) across the groups. A mean value of 8.713, 10.453, 3.45 and 13.655 for group 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively was recorded for McV with a significant difference (P<0.05) in group all treated group compared to the control. Group 1, 2, 3 and 4 had a mean value of 2.765, 3.450, 5.93 and 5.565 respectively for McH. For McHc, group 1 had a mean value of 0.315 group 2 had 0.305, group 3 had 0.355 and group 4 had 0.483 with a significance difference (P<0.05) recorded for only group 4. In the semen analysis, M1 had mean values of 68.75, 38.75, 28.0 and 27.5 in group 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively, D1 had 7.5, 11.25, 24.5 and 42.5 in group 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively, C had 65.0, 52.5, 29.0 and 42.0 in group 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively while Mp had 7.5, 11.25, 7.5 and 22.5 in group 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively. The results indicate that cuprous oxide and petrol both have negative effect on the body and hence care should be taken in the storage and handling of petrol to avoid human exposure, also the concentration of cuprous oxide to be used in antifouling paints should be regulated to avoid harming to aquatic organisms.

This survey, which took place in the midst of the Covid 19 global health crisis, was conducted on medicinal plants used in the traditional treatment of the most common viral diseases in Côte d'Ivoire. The aim was to inventory the plant species sold and collect ethnopharmacological data related to these plants. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with herbalists in nine markets in the district of Abidjan. The information collected was processed using SPSS 17.0 computer and statistical software. This study revealed that shingles, yellow fever and chickenpox are the viral diseases for which there are more traditional remedies. A total of 61 species of antiviral medicinal plants distribued in 59 genera and 54 botanical families were identified. Fabaceae (14.75 %), Asteraceae (9.8 %), and Apocynaceae (9.8 %) are the most represented families. Six species are most commonly used in the treatment of viral diseases. They are, in decreasing order of frequency of use: Ocimum gratissimum, Citrus aurantiifolia, Spondias mombin, Allium sativum, Gymnanthemum amygdalinum, Kalanchoe crenata. The leaves are the most used parts, in the form of a decoction (73.84 %). This is consistent with the predominance of the beverage (39.62 %) as a form of use and the oral route of administration (42 %). This study, which allowed the collection of ethnomedicinal data, is positioned as an orientation in the search for effective active ingredients against emerging ET re-emerging viral diseases.

Published: April 2022

Electrical Resistivity method involving Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) was carried out within the Maga school, Ayeka, southwestern Nigeria. This was carried out with aim of evaluating the protective capacity of the layers overlying the aquifers in preventing pollution from getting to the groundwater resources within the area. A total of twelve Vertical Electrical Soundings (VES) were acquired using the Schlumberger configuration. The half-current electrode spacing (AB/2) of the Schlumberger configuration was varied from 1 to 225 m. The sounding curves derived from the VES data were quantitatively interpreted using partial curve matching and further refined using computer assisted program. From the interpreted geoelectric result, four lithological layers were delineated; the topsoil, the sandy clay, the lateritic sand and the clayey sand/sand. The topsoil resistivity ranges from 89 to 162 Ωm and its thickness varies from 0.9 to 2.0 m, the sandy clay resistivity varies from 215 to 512 Ωm and its thickness ranges from 3.1 to 7.6 m, the lateritic sand resistivity varies from 1025 to 2611 Ωm and thickness ranges from 13.3 to 23.9 m and the clayey sand/sand resistivity ranges from 183 to 522 Ωm with a depth range from 19.7 to 30.4 m. The protective capacity map revealed that all the parts of the study area fall within a weak protective capacity zone. This is informed by the low longitudinal conductance which suggests a weak protective capacity rating. As a result of this, the study area is therefore vulnerable to pollution if it is exposed to contaminant sources which could come from septic tanks, underground petroleum storage tanks, industrial waste and landfills.

Malaria and anemia are significant public health threats to pregnant women in Nigeria. This study assesses malaria prevalence and risk factors associated with anemia among randomly selected 150 pregnant women attending antenatal clinic at the Federal Medical Center, Owerri, Imo State, Nigeria, over a four-month period. Well structured, interviewer administered questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic characteristics. Hospital records provided information on their hematological and parasitological parameters including history of anemia, malaria cases, hookworm infection and nutritional deficiency tests for iron and vitamins. The data were collected and subjected to statistical analysis. Classification of anemia was based on World Health Organization criteria on hemoglobin concentration. The result showed that the overall prevalence of malaria among the women was 78 (52.0%). Out of this value, majority of the women, 61(40.7%) were mildly anemic, while 15(10.0%) were moderately anemic. Only 2 (1.3%) of the women were severely anemic. The risk factors associated with the anemia among the women included iron deficiency 27(34.6%), malaria 23(29.5%), foliate deficiency 13(16.7%), vitamin B12 deficiency 10 (12.8%) and hookworm infection 5(6.4%). The outcome of this study suggests the need for the concerned antenatal clinics to step up screening program on Hb-levels, iron, folic acid and vitamin B12 deficiencies tests for all pregnant women. Adopting iron and vitamin supplements in diet for pregnant women, use of insecticide treated nets, elimination of breeding sites for mosquitoes and proper waste disposal also are strongly advocated.

This study examined the implication of cashew production, consumption and utilization on the health of end-users. Desk research was carried out using past published literatures. The study outlined the effects of production, consumption and utilization of cashew on human health. The benefits of cashew production, consumption and utilization outweighed the negative effects. Cashew production and use should be promoted because it is beneficial in the treatment of a variety of diseases and ailments. More study on reducing chemical components (allergens) found in unroasted cashews should be encouraged by the government and other stakeholders in the cashew value chain to reduce their sensitivity to people. This will improve the contributions of the crop to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the country.

The influence of climate upon a plant disease is a consequence of the causal agent and its interaction with the host plant. Plants present distinctive elements by the effect of climate, whether they are adverse or beneficial to their growth and development, as well as for their exposure or protection from those climatic factors. The objective of this work was to analyze the influence of temperature and relative humidity in relation to commercial wheat fields which presented leaf rust in different areas of the southern region of the state of Sonora, Mexico, during the crop seasons 2017-2018, 2018-2019, and 2019-2020. Weather data were recorded from 23 weather stations that belong to the automated weather station network of the state of Sonora which comprise the Yaqui and Mayo Valleys. A Voronoi diagram was constructed to delimit the region which corresponded to each weather station, and so to locate each of the commercial wheat fields with leaf rust incidence, in order to analyze the weeks in which disease incidence was high. A “t student test” of independent samples was performed in order to compare the weather variables (average, maximum and minimum temperature, as well as relative humidity) during the three crop seasons, from the weather stations where commercial wheat fields were detected with the presence of leaf rust, with respect to those where the disease was not present. Relative humidity was the main key factor for the presence of leaf rust, since it is the variable where the mean of groups with and without the presence of leaf rust, showed statistical significant difference in each crop season, unlike the average and the minimum temperature which showed difference only during the 2017-2018 crop season, and the maximum temperature during 2019-2020.

Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a perforated tympanic membrane with persistent drainage from the middle ear. It is an avoidable cause of hearing loss, especially in developing countries. We conducted a prospective study over 8 years (1 January 2014 - 1 January 2022), Including 250 patients consulting the Oto-Rhino-Laryngology Department of the Avicenna Military Hospital in Marrakesh, in collaboration with the Laboratory of Microbiology. It included all non-redundant bacterial species isolated from pus of purulent chronic ear infections sent to the microbiology laboratory. The cytobacteriological analysis was carried out according to the conventional techniques and / or automated method of BD PhoenixTM. The antibiotic sensitivity study was carried using the diffusion method in agar medium according to the recommendations of the CA-SFM. There were 147 men and 103 women with a sex ratio of 1.4. The mean age of the patients was 34 years (8 to 82 years). The second and fourth decades represent the most affected age groups. The bacteriological profile was dominated by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (40%), followed by Staphylococcus aureus (32%) and Proteus mirabilis (13%). These different isolates represented low antibiotic resistance levels but all remained sensitive to fluoroquinolones. Five strains of enterobacteria produced derepressed cephalosporinase, and nine strains of Enterobacteria carrying extended spectrum Beta lactamase enzymes. No strain of Pseudomonas resistant to ceftazidime was isolated. Gram positive cocci accounted for 38% of the strains. In view of the bacteriological and the sensitivity profiles of the species found in chronic otitis, antibiotics based on fluoroquinolones are recommended.

Transformasi pembelajaran ke arah digital terjadi diberbagai jenjang pendidikan, namun, kemampuan literasi digital pendidik anak usia dini belum sepenuhnya teridentifikasi. Untuk itu, penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis kemampuan literasi digital guru PAUD pada masa pandemik COVID-19 dengan menggunakan kuesioner dari Lindfors et al. (2021) kepada 24 responden di 13 lembaga PAUD di Kabupaten Gorontalo. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif berorientasi pada tematik analisis. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kemampuan literasi digital guru PAUD selama pandemik COVID-19 masih tergolong kurang mahir dalam menggunakan perangkat digital selain smartphone dan mengintegrasikan aplikasi/software edukasi untuk pembelajaran. Guru menyadari perubahan besar terkait kebutuhan dan tuntutan untuk menggunakan perangkat dan aplikasi digital, namun, untuk menghasilkan konten pembelajaran secara autentik yang melibatkan penggunaan teknologi belum maksimal dilakukan. Penelitian ini menunjukkan pentingnya menyediakan sistem seperti sarana dan prasarana serta peningkatan kompetensi digital pendidik PAUD yang tidak hanya berfokus terhadap fasilitas yang berikan tetapi juga seberapa efektif pemanfaatannya dalam proses pembelajaran
