While several methods have been proposed for detecting three-dimensional (3D) objects in semi-real time by sparsely acquiring features from 3D point clouds, the detection of strongly occluded objects still poses difficulties. Herein, we propose a method of detecting strongly occluded objects by setting up virtual auxiliary point clouds in the vicinity of the target object. By generating auxiliary point clouds only in the occluded space estimated from a detected object at the front of the sensor-observed region, i.e., the occluder, the processing efficiency and accuracy are improved. Experiments are performed with various strongly occluded scenes based on real environmental data, and the results confirm that the proposed method is capable of achieving a mean processing time of 0.5 s for detecting strongly occluded objects.

In the recent years, Japan has been facing the problem of an aged society, and oral care is an important aspect in maintaining the oral health of elderly persons. Swallowing disorders, caused by various factors, are one of the most severe oral problems associated with advancing age. A mealtime assistant can help elderly persons in this situation, and thus, mealtime assistance is considered as an essential skill for students in nursing education. There are, however, some problems in mealtime assistant training in nursing schools. For example, there are few instructors compared to the number of students and few opportunities in clinical situations. Therefore, training through simulation has received significant attention as an effective educational process for students in medical and nursing schools. We have attempted to develop an oral care simulator and corresponding software to provide nursing students with an effective oral care training environment. Previously, we developed a prototype model of an oral care simulator for learning tooth brushing. In this study, we developed a tongue model for a mealtime assistant simulation model. Incorrect meal assistance may lead to mouth injury and aspiration pneumonia. To prevent such situations, the caregiver must serve the meal on an appropriate position on the tongue using a spoon, and must release it safely. This paper describes a summary of the developed mealtime assistant simulator and the procedures of tongue model development using three-dimensional computer-assisted design (3D-CAD) and 3D printing. We also developed a sensor system to be embeded in the tongue model to detect spoon motion. The sensor system for the tongue model was evaluated through spoon detection experiments.

Published: July 2019

Students worksheet scientific approach is a teaching material that contains material that teaches students to experiment by following the steps based on the scientific method. The scientific method is observed, ask, gather information, associate, and communicate. The results of observation, interview with the teachers and students found that the teacher uses the revised version of the 2013 Curriculumâ€™s handbook of natural science for grade VII. The books contain student activities cannot be done because of the limited media available in the school. So, the teacher must make student worksheets as complementary media for student activities. Constraints experienced by teachers in learning activities with the 2013 Curriculum include limited media such as electron microscope, mount, and surgical appliance for the subject of life organization system, etc. Teachers are predominantly applying scientific steps on students at the aspect of observing, questioning, and communicating, so that studentsâ€™ knowledge and skill are less optimized. This study aims to determine the feasibility of student worksheets based on the VII class scientific approach. This type of research is Research and Development (R & D) with the Four D research model consisting. The sample used was Kalianget 2 Public Middle School. The result of the research showed that feasibility of Student Worksheets based on Scientific Approach obtained very feasible category, with the percentage feasibility material of 86.11% (very feasible category), feasibility format of the 85.42% (very feasible category), feasibility display of the 85.94% (category is very feasible).

Malaria Outbreak Facilitated by Increased Human Activities around Swamps: Kisoro District, Uganda, December 2017-March 2018
Authors: Nguna Joyce , Okethwangu Dennis , Kadobera Daniel
Published: July 2019

Background: Malaria elimination is increasingly becoming a global priority. On 19 December 2018, a district in southwestern Uganda known to have achieved pre-elimination levels of malaria (<30 cases per month) reported a sudden increase in cases to the Ministry of Health. We investigated to determine the magnitude and scope of the outbreak and identify exposures associated with transmission.
Methods:We reviewed medical records in all health facilities in the affected Kanaba and Murora sub-counties to find cases. We calculated attack rates (AR) by age, sex, and village using the projected 2016 population. In a case-control study, we compared potential exposures between case-patients, selected randomly from the line-list, and neighborhood- and age-matched asymptomatic controls. We conducted an entomological and environmental assessment of randomly-selected households and potential breeding sites of the affected sub-counties.
Results: We found 3,130 malaria cases (compared with 879 cases during the same period the previous year). Persons in the age groups 10-19 (AR=14/1,000) and 20-29 (AR=12/1,000) years were the most affected. Villages closest to the swamp had the highest attack rate. In the case-control study, 89% (129/145) of case-patients and 73% (106/145) of controls reported frequent late-night mosquito bites (ORCLR=3.9; 95%CI: 1.8-8.4); 70% (102/145) of case-patients and 59% (86/145) of controls had a household size >5 (ORCLR=1.8; 95%CI: 1.04-3.1); 78% (113/145) of case-patients and 86% (125/145) of controls usually slept under a bednet (ORCLR=0.56; 95%CI: 0.29-1.1). Anopheles gambiae sensu lato was identified in breeding places around Sereri and Mpundu swamps. In total, 64% (23/36) of female adult Anopheles captured in case-patients’ households by pyrethrum spray catches were fed, suggesting low bed-net usage the previous night in the surveyed households.
Conclusion: This malaria outbreak was likely propagated by favorable breeding conditions, including recent heavy rainfall, and exacerbated by new human activities around two swamps. To achieve malaria elimination, low-endemic areas should be particularly aware of activities that can lead to resurgences in malaria, such as night-time exposures, lack of bed-net usage, and human activities focused around breeding sites. We recommended increased awareness about bed-net usage and use of larvicides in the residential area and swamps to break the breeding cycle.
The dishwasher rubber seal acts as a reservoir of bacteria in the home environment

Published: July 2019

Bacteria that colonise the extreme environment of household dishwasher rubber seals were investigated using cultivation-dependent and metagenomic approaches. All 30 dishwashers investigated were colonised by various bacteria. Cultivation approaches resulted in 632 bacterial isolates in total, belonging to four phyla, eight classes, 40 genera and 74 species. The majority were Gram-positive, as solely Firmicutes and Actinobacteria. Bacilli represented half of the Gram-positive isolates, and were dominated by the Bacillus cereus group. Gammaproteobacteria were primarily represented by Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli. All isolates were tested for resistance to seven selected antibiotics. Metagenomic assessment of the bacterial biodiversity of the dishwasher rubber seals confirmed the predominance of Gram-positive bacteria, as primarily Actinobacteria dominated by Gordonia, followed by Proteobacteria dominated by Gammaproteobacteria, and by pathogenic species such as Escherichia sp., Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas sp., Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, and Enterobacter sp.. Metagenomic assessment of bacterial biodiversity in the tap water connected to dishwashers revealed predominance of Gram-negative bacteria, and in particular Proteobacteria, dominated by Betaproteobacteria, mainly represented by Tepidimonas sp.. Both Actinobacteria and Firmicutes showed low numbers, while there were markedly more Alphaproteobacteria and Betaproteobacteria in the tap water. These data indicate that colonisation of dishwasher rubber seals depends primarily on the bacterial input from the dirty vessels, and much less on the bacteria in the tap water.
Associations between Bacteriophage Resistance and Antibiotic Resistance Phenotypes in Laboratory and Clinical strains of Salmonella Typhimurium
Authors: Uddin Md Jalal , Ahn Juhee
Published: July 2019

Background

Bacteriophages have received great attention as alternative over antibiotics due to the host specificity. Therefore, this study was designed to evaluate the associations between bacteriophage-insensitive (BI) and antibiotic-resistant mutants of Salmonella Typhimurium strains. Bacteriophage-sensitive Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 19585 (BSSTWT), ciprofloxacin-induced S. Typhimurium ATCC 19585 (BSSTCIP), S. Typhimurium KCCM 40253 (BSSTLAB), and clinically isolated multidrug-resistant S. Typhimurium CCARM 8009 (BSSTMDR) were used to induce the bacteriophage-insensitive mutants (BISTWT, BISTCIP, BISTLAB, and BISTMDR) against bacteriophage P22.

Results

The numbers of BSSTWT, BSSTCIP, and BSSTLAB were reduced by P22 (>3 log), while the least lytic activity was observed for BSSTMDR. BSSTWT treated with P22 showed the large variation in the cell state (CV>40%) and highest mutant frequency (62%), followed by 25% for STCIP. The least similarities between BSSTWT and BISTWT were observed at P22 and PBST-13 (<12%). The antibiotic susceptibilities were not significantly changed or slightly increased against BISTWT, BISTCIP, BISTLAB, and BISTMDR. The relative expression levels of bacteriophage-binding receptor-related genes (btuB, fhuA, fliK, fljB, ompC, ompF, rfaL, and tolC) were decreased in BISTCIP and BSSTMDR.

Conclusion

The results could pave the way for the application of bacteriophages as an alternative to control antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
New spaces – new pedagogies: Implementing personalised learning in primary school innovative learning environments
Authors: Cardno Carol , Tolmie Emma , Howse Jo
Published: July 2019

The New Zealand Ministry of Education is requiring that all primary school “new builds” and renovations be Innovative Learning Environments (ILEs), and within these spaces there is an expectation that personalised learning is to be implemented. This qualitative study involved an investigation ofpractice in three Auckland primary schools where an innovative learning environment existed and personalised learning was being implemented. In each setting, a school leader and a teacher were interviewed, and national and school level documents were analysed. A key finding was that leaders and teachers had confused and often disparate understandings of the term personalised learning. A further finding showed that both shallow and deep personalisation was evident. Yet another key finding revealed that all participants were challenged by the changes required. The study concludes that leaders must take certain actions to ensure the effective implementation of deep personalised learning including clarifying how personalised learning is understood and practised and sharing this with all stakeholders.
Data- and research-informed improvement work in ECEC
Authors: Hansen Line Skov
Published: July 2019

The article describes an approach to data-and research-informed improvement work in Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) that is used by the Laboratory for Research-based School Development (LSP) at Aalborg University, Denmark. The approach includes collaboration between research, policy and practice and it incorporates two current policy priorities in the field of Danish education: evidence-informed decision making and the continuous improvement of the learning environment. The approach is based on the core idea that it takes a collective effort and widely distributed leadership to ensure the well-being and learning of all children. Additionally, the approach rests on the hypothesis that the use of evidence assists ECEC services to accomplish goals of high-quality learning environments, and the improvement work can drive efforts to use knowledge from data and research. Consequently, in this approach, data-and research-based knowledge is used as an essential indicator of quality and as a trigger for professional learning and development (PLD) of the teaching staff. Furthermore, leadership is seen as essential in relation to the PLD of the teaching staff and their use of evidence.
Leading schools that make a difference to bullying behaviour
Authors: Boyd Sally , Lawes Elliot
Published: July 2019

Student bullying behaviour is a long-standing concern in New Zealand schools. International studies consistently show high rates of student reports of this behaviour. Research suggests that bullying behaviour is a socioecological and systemic phenomenon that is best addressed via systems-based and multifaceted approaches implemented using collaborative processes. Less is known about the most effective components of these multifaceted approaches. This article analyses New Zealand Wellbeing@School survey data to suggest ways forward for schools. A multilevel model was used to associate two student and two teacher measures from the same schools. The findings indicate that a mix of school-wide actions were associated with lower levels of student aggressive and bullying behaviour. Five sub-groups of actions are discussed in the light of recent New Zealand and international research. The article concludes with a call to locate anti-bullying approaches within a multifaceted and holistic framework which has the overall aim of promoting wellbeing and healthy social relationships. A holistic approach enables schools to foster protective factors such as belonging, and address risk factors that influence bullying behaviour, as well as a range of desirable education and health outcomes for young people.
The Stringent Response And Its Involvement In The Reactions Of Bacterial Cells To Stress
Authors: Berdychowska Julia , Boniecka Justyna , Dąbrowska Grażyna B.
Published: July 2019

The stringent response is a form of bacterial response to adverse environmental conditions. Its effectors are guanosine tetraphosphate and guanosine pentaphosphate [(p)ppGpp], which are synthetized by RelA, SpoT and their homologs (RSH). RelA, a (p)ppGpp synthase, is activated when there is a shortage of amino acids, whereas SpoT, which has the ability to synthetize and hydrolyze (p)ppGpp, responds to fatty acids, iron and carbon limits. Accumulation of (p)ppGpp causes an inhibition of translation, replication, a decrease in the transcription of many genes, e.g. rRNA, tRNA, encoding ribosomal proteins, and an increase in the transcription of genes whose proteins are important in bacterial stress response. The stringent response alarmones are crucial for bacterial resistance to oxidative stress and antibiotics. They also regulate the production of specific molecules, the so-called quorum sensing autoinducers, which help bacteria communicate the density of their own population, which enables them to adjust their metabolism to the prevailing conditions, to form a biofilm – a community of microorganisms attached to a certain surface, ensuring them appropriate conditions to survive in an unfavourable environment, and to colonize new niches. (p)ppGpp has a positive impact on biofilm formation not only via the regulation of quorum sensing, but also by stimulating the synthesis of potential elements of the biofilm. It also appears that the stringent response alarmones decrease the ability of Agrobacterium tumefaciens bacteria to transform plants and thus their potential to cause disease. (p)ppGpp enables the bacteria to perform swarming motility, a movement that increases their resistance to adverse environmental factors.

Published: July 2019

Bu çalışmada esnafların iktisadi stratejilerinin

anlaşılması için ekonomik sermayenin önemi kabul edilmektedir. Fakat burada

üretim, büyüme ve küçülme süreçlerinin esnafların ekonomik sermayesinin yanında

sosyal sermayesi ile de irtibatlı olduğu vurgulanmıştır. Bundan dolayıdır ki

daha önceki esnaflık çalışmalarında sosyal sermaye vurgusunun zayıf kalması,

burada “kayıp halka” olarak nitelendirilmiştir. Çalışma dört ana bölümden

oluşmaktadır. Birinci bölümde sosyal sermayenin insan ilişkilerindeki merkezi

rolü anlatılmıştır. Burada toplumsal aktörlerin arzu ettikleri psiko-sosyal

konumlar için ekonomik sermayenin yanında kültürel, beşeri ve toplumsal

sermayeye de ihtiyaç duyabileceği ifade edilmiştir. İkinci bölümde, esnafların

sosyal sermayeyi ekonomik sermayeye dönüştürebileceği ileri sürülmüştür. Üçüncü

bölümde ise esnaflığın hem kapitalizmden hem de gelenekten gelen bazı

doktrinlerle kendine has bir yapıya büründüğü ifade edilmiştir. Bunun sonucunda esnafların daha çok

geleneksel-informel ağları teşkil eden bir sosyal sermaye rezervinin olduğu

vurgulanmıştır. Son bölümde ise

Konya’da 450 esnaf ile yapılan araştırmanın bulguları analiz edilmiştir.

Burada esnafların hangi ağlar ile ne

yoğunlukta ilişkiye girdikleri, kendi arasındaki ilişkiler ve güven

göstergeleri incelenmiştir. Son

olarak ekonomik kriz zamanlarında nasıl strateji ürettikleri ve bu stratejiler

için sosyal sermayeden ne denli faydalandıkları anlaşılmaya çalışılmıştır.

Çalışmanın en temel sonucu, esnafların

sosyal ve ekonomik sermayeleri arasında bir ilişki olduğu şeklinde olmuştur.
Bir Siyasî İçecek Olarak Türk Kahvesi
Authors: ÇAKSU Ali
Published: July 2019

Son yıllarda, yiyecek ve içeceklerin siyasetle olan yakın ilişkisini ortaya

koyan ilginç çalışmalar yürütülmektedir. Öncelikle, birçok yiyecek ve içecek

kendi tarihlerine sahip olup, bunlardan bazıları farklı coğrafyalarda

yayılırken oralarda kültür, ekonomi, dînî hayat ve siyaseti etkileyip kendileri

de bunlardan etkilenmektedirler. Türk kahvesi, kıtanın güneydoğu ucundaki

İstanbul’a ulaşmasından bu yana, Avrupa’da bir içecek ile siyaset ve dînî

kültür arasındaki ilişkiye çok çarpıcı ve renkli bir örnek teşkil etmektedir.

Kanaatimce, Türk kahvesi daha en başta (16. yüzyıl ortalarında) İstanbul’da

“siyasî” bir içecekti veya bir başka deyişle siyasîleştirildi, çünkü bu içeceğe

ve tüketildiği mekanlara çoğu zaman siyasî anlamlar yüklendi. Makalenin ilk

kısmı kıtaya yeni gelen bir içeceğin (Türk kahvesinin) hem Osmanlı başkentinde

hem de Hristiyan Avrupa’da nasıl devleti, siyaseti ve dini ilgilendirdiğini

gösteriyor. Böylece bu kısım daha çok, bir içeceğin girdiği ülkelerde siyaset

ve kültürü etkilemesi hakkındadır. Buna karşılık, makalenin ikinci kısmı ise

tam tersini yansıtıyor: Yunanistan ve Bosna örneklerinde ise siyasetin kendi

davası için gastronomi dahil, gündelik hayatı nasıl biçimlendirdiğine şahit

oluyoruz. Bu kısım, 20. yüzyıl sonlarında siyaset ve milliyetçilik dolayısıyla,

Türk kahvesinin isim olarak Yunan ve Boşnak kahvesine dönüştüğü iki örnek

üzerinde durmaktadır. Burada basit bir içeceğin sadece millî bir ad alarak bir

millî kimlik ve gurur nesnesi ve aracı olduğunu görüyoruz. Kısacası kahve, 20.

yüzyılda bir defa daha, sıradan bir içecek olmaktan çıkarak siyasî bir içecek

olmuş ve birçok insanın kimliğinin bir parçası haline gelmiştir. Kahve ve

kahvehanenin toplum ve siyasetle ilişkisini de içeren tarihi son yıllarda önem

kazanan maddî tarih alanına ilginç ve önemli bir örnek teşkil etmektedir.
İki Seyyah Bir Kültür: Broquière ve İbn Battûta Seyahatnâmelerine Göre Türklerde Yemek Kültürü
Authors: KAPAR Mehmet Ali
Published: July 2019

Yemek ve içmek insan yaşamının devam edebilmesinin en temel ögesidir. Fakat

insanlar sadece hayatlarını idame ettirmek için yemezler ve içmezler. Aynı

zamanda yemek; bir sınıf göstergesi, milletler arasındaki ilişkilerde bir

gösteri vesilesi, boş vakitlerde yapılacak bir faaliyet, şenlikler için bir

vesile unsurudur. Yemek kültürü incelenerek toplumların tarihsel gelişimleri de

izlemlenebilir. Türkler, köklü bir tarihe ve güçlü bir kültür birikimine

sahiptirler. Sahip oldukları bu kültür birikiminin önemli bir parçası da

yiyecek ve içecek alışkanlıkları ile bunun etrafında şekillenen kültürel

unsurlardır. Türkler, genel olarak İslam öncesi Orta Asya bozkır hayatında

şekillenen bu alışkanlıklarını göçlerle birlikte gittikleri coğrafyalara

taşımışlar, yeni bölgelerdeki toplumları etkileyerek ve onlardan etkilenerek

kültürlerini devam ettirmişlerdir. Ayrıca farklı inançlarla karşılaşmaları ve

özellikle İslamiyet başta olmak üzere değişik dinlere tabi olmaları, yiyecek ve

içecek alışkanlıklarının değişmesini de beraberinde getirmiştir. Yemek

kültürünün izlerini günümüzde de görmek mümkündür. Seyyahlar, sadece üst

yönetici sınıf ile görüşen olup onları yazan değil aynı zamanda toplumun alt

sınıfları ile de muhatap olan ve bunları aktaran kişiler olması nedeniyle daha

ayrıntılı bilgiler sunmaktadır. Çalışmamızda Orta Çağ’da Türklerin yaşadığı

coğrafyaya seyahat eden seyyahların gözüyle Türklerdeki yemek kültürünü

inceledik. Seyahatnâmelerinden istifade ettiğimiz seyyahları seçerken

Bertrandon de la Broquière ve İbn Battûta gibi farklı bölgelerden ve dinlerden

olanlarını tercih ettik. Ayrıca günümüze kadar gelen yeme içme kültürünü de tespit

etmeye çalıştık. Bu araştırmada daha fazla seyahatnâmeye yer verilebilirdi

fakat bir makale boyutunu aşacağı için iki seyyahın seyahatnâmesi ile sınırlı

The effect of decreasing interest rates on European banks’ earnings quality
Authors: Takacs Andras , Szucs Tamas
Published: July 2019

Earnings quality (EQ) is an indicator generally defined as a mix of many components like persistence, predictability, volatility and smoothing of earnings. This study is based on the hypothesis that in the banking sector, any changes in interest rates make a remarkable effect on these characteristics of earnings, and thus may influence EQ. Between 2007 and 2015, there has been a general decreasing trend in interest rates across Europe, with varying slopes in different countries. Using data of 128 European banks from 27 countries, it is examined how the extent of interest rate decrease influenced the EQ of banks. It was found that the extent of interest decrease negatively affects earnings quality, meaning that the EQ of banks located in countries with less drastic relative interest cuts between 2007 and 2015 (typically less developed Central and Eastern European countries) is higher than the EQ of banks from developed countries with significant relative interest cuts in the same period.

Bilgisayar
teknolojisinin gelişimiyle birlikte Bilgisayar programları her alanda
kullanılmaya başlanmıştır. Antropometri bilimi de ölçüm teknikleri ve toplanan
ölçümlerin veri olarak saklanması ve kullanılması işlemlerinde özellikle son
yıllarda bilgisayardan faydalanmaktadır. Bu durum; geleneksel antropometrik
ölçüm teknikleri dışında yeni ölçüm tekniklerini ortaya çıkarmış ve özellikle
bilgisayar teknolojisinin kullanarak uluslararası alanda antropometrik veri
bankası oluşturulma çalışmalarında artış yaşanmasına neden olmuştur. Türkiye’de
ise henüz bilgisayar teknolojisinden yararlanılarak ülke genelinde bir çalışma
yapılmamıştır. Türkiye’de bu alanda bir çalışma yapılmamış olmasının bölgeler
arası koordinasyon eksikliği ile 3d ölçüm cihazlarının ülkemizde
yaygınlaşmaması gibi çok çeşitli sebepleri vardır.Antropometri çalışmaları; farklı disiplinlerde
ele alınan bir bilim dalı olup, kullanıcı odaklı tasarımlar oluşturulurken
özellikle mimarlık ve iç mimarlık alanında önem kazanmaktadır. Neufert ve Time
Saver Standards gibi antropometrik verilere dayalı kaynaklar; mimarlık ve iç
mimarlık alanları için her dönem önem taşımaktadır. Ancak bu kaynaklar standart
bazı ölçüler dışında Türkiye’deki antropometrik verilerle örtüşemeyebilmektedir.
Bu nedenle mimarlık ve iç mimarlık alanları için ülkemiz ölçü standartları
oluşturulmasında ilk adım olarak kapsamlı bir antropometri çalışması yapılması;
birçok mekânsal ölçünün Türkiye’deki kullanıcı ölçülerine uyumunu

Published: July 2019

İnsana özgü bir düş ürünü olarak ortaya çıkan mitler,
taşıdığı anlam yanında evrensel mesajları ile birçok sanatçının resmine konu
olmuştur. Mitlerden bazıları bireysel
karmaşıklıkları bazıları da toplumsal ilişkilerin görünmez ve karmaşık
yapılarını ortaya koymaktadır. İnsanın sosyal ve bireysel karmaşıklığına
ilişkin mitlerden birisi
de Narkissos’tur. Görsel sanatlar alanında en çok betimlenen mitlerden olan
Narkissos, özseverlik, dönüşüm, erotizm gibi çok anlamlı
yapısı ve içerdiği mesajlarla öne çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışma Narkissos mitinin
temsil ettiği sembolik değerler ve mesajların sanatçılar tarafından nasıl
algılandığı ve eserlerine nasıl yansıdığı araştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Miti
konu olarak ele alan sanatçıların eserleri, doküman incelemesi ve literatür
taraması yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Tespit edilen eserlere ilişkin yapılan
analizde, sanatçıların Narkissos’u özseverlik, başkalaşma, estetik ve cinsiyet
bağlamında bir ifade aracı olarak ele aldıkları görülmektedir. Ayrıca sanat
tarihi içinde Narkissos ile ilgili eserlerde; gerçek ve temsil, kimlik ve
cinsiyet, ben ve öteki arasındaki dönüşümü harekete geçiren efsane olarak
temsil edildiği anlaşılmaktadır.
Türk Halı Sanatının Kompozisyon ve Desenlerinde Miktar Kavramı
Authors: Çiloğlu Hakan
Published: July 2019

Geçen zaman sürecinde tüm
unsurlar, miktar içeren yaşam prensiplerinden oluşur. Hayat dediğimiz yaşam süreci içinde en önemli iki temel kavram zaman ve
başlangıç – bitiş kavramlarıdır. Başlangıç, gelişme ve bitiş serüvenini kapsayan yaşam kompozisyonların
karşı duramadığı tek şey zamandır. İçinde yaşadığımız doğaya baktığımızda
yaşamın her saniyesinde ve her şeyde başlangıç ve bitiş çizgisi arasındaki
geçişler gözlemlenebilir. Doğanın yaşam prensiplerinin zamana bağlı değişen
miktar kavramları gizemli anlatımla, geometrik zengin desen kompozisyonları ve
motiflerle halıların yüzeyinde yer almaktadır. Hayatın sonsuzluk özlemi ve
doğadaki yaşam farkındalığı; duygu ve düşüncelerin yüklendiği giriş, gelişme ve
sonuç bölümlerini kapsayan estetik kompozisyonlarla şekillenir. Türk halı
sanatında miktar içeren kompozisyonlar çeşitlilik gösterir. Orta zeminde
gökyüzü, güneş ya da büyük yıldız grubu desenler, hayatın belirli, dışına
çıkılamayan kararlı yapısını temsil eden, tek ya da tekrar eden kare -
dikdörtgen kompozisyonlarla yer alırlar. Kompozisyon ve desenlerde miktar
kavramının diğer temsilcisi mihrap desenli halılardır. Mihraplı desenler bazen
üç, bazen de tek desenli olabilmektedir. Türk sanatı içinde önemli bir yere
sahip olan halılarda en önemli konu, fonksiyonel yapılarının ötesinde gözlem,
farkındalık ve düşüncenin üstün estetik anlayışla ifade edilerek, son derece
başarılı kompozisyon, desen ve motiflerle yansıtılmasıdır.

Objective: Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition that affects many women of reproductive age worldwide and is a major cause of pain and infertility. Treatment of endometriosis can be either surgical, aiming to restore normal anatomy by removing endometriotic lesions, or hormonal. Various medical treatments with different doses, formulations, delivery systems, and regimens have been tested. The main objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of dienogest and dienogest plus ethinylestradiol on endometriosis-related pain. Additionally, the effects on endometrioma size were examined.Study Design: A total of 81 patients with clinically diagnosed endometrioma, who had chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, or deep dyspareunia between January 2015 and December 2018 were studied retrospectively. The patients were divided into two main groups: continuous oral dienogest (n=43) (Visanne®, 2 mg/day) and continuous oral dienogest plus ethinylestradiol (n=38) (Dienille®, 2 mg/0.03 mg/day). The intensity of pain symptoms was evaluated before therapy, then after 3 and 6 months of treatment using a 10-point numerical rating scale (0 = no pain and 10 = worst possible pain) (NRS) provided to the patients in advance.Results: The pain scores related to chronic pelvic pain decreased 36% for dienogest and 49% for dienogest plus ethinylestradiol (p<0.05) and scores for dysmenorrhea decreased 38% and 44% respectively (p<0.05) at 6 months, significantly lower than before treatment. At the 6-month follow-up, a 28% decrease in the pain scores related to deep dyspareunia in the dienogest group was statistically significant. Although the dienogest plus ethinylestradiol group also decreased by 20%, the difference was not significant. There was no significant difference in endometrioma size between the two groups at the 6-month follow-up (dienogest and dienogest plus ethinylestradiol; 24.2±17.5 mm vs. 27.5±19.1 mm, respectively; p=0.42).Conclusion: Upon analysis of our 6 months of clinical data, estrogen-progestin and a progestin alone seem to be of similar efficacy for the temporary treatment of endometriosis-related pain. The dienogest plus ethinylestradiol combination was slightly less effective on deep dyspareunia but was still well tolerated. Similarly, the two hormonal regimens posed no superiority over one another with regard to endometrioma size reduction.
Novel Heterocyclic Hybrids Based on 2-Pyrazoline: Synthesis and Assessment of Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic Activities
Authors: Abeed Ahmed A.O. , Jaleel Gehad A.A. , Youssef Mohamed S.K.
Published: July 2019

Aim and Objective:

A series of new 2-pyrazoline analogues were synthesized. The structures of the synthesized compounds were elucidated by the analytical and spectroscopic data. Some selected compounds were screened for the anti-inflammatory activity by using animal model of carrageenan-induced paw edema in mice. Additionally, the analgesic and acute toxicity of these compounds were evaluated and exhibited reasonable results. The anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of these compounds were established by measuring the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH), nitric oxide (NO), and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) in the edema paw tissue.

Materials and Methods:

All chemicals and reagents used in current study were of analytical grade. Melting points were determined using APP. Digital ST 15 melting point apparatus and are uncorrected. FT-IR spectra were recorded on a Pye-Unicam SP3-100 spectrophotometer in KBr pellet. All 1H and 13C NMR spectra were recorded on AVANCE-III (400 MHz) High Performance FT-NMR Spectrometer Brucker (Switzerland) and some 1H NMR spectra were recorded on Varian EM-360L NMR Spectrophotometer (60 MHz) (USA) in CDCl3 or DMSO-d6 as solvent. Chemical shifts are reported in δ units and the coupling constants (J) are reported in hertz. C, H, N and S analyses were performed with a Vario EL C, H, N, S Analyzer. Carrageenan (product number C1013) was obtained from Sigma-Aldrich (USA).

Results:

The structures of the compounds were confirmed by IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and elemental analyses. The results of pharmacological activity revealed that compounds 5, 6, 7, and 15 could be recognized as potential multi-potent anti-inflammatory.

Conclusion:

A simple and suitable method for the synthesis of new pharmacophore was reported. We have designed nineteen heterocycles related to pyrazoline ring, and evaluated eleven of them for their antiinflammatory, analgesic and acute toxicity activities. Compounds 5, 6, 7, and 15 proved to be the interesting compounds, they have high anti-inflammatory activity. However, all the selected compounds show remarkable analgesic activity.
Central Histamine, the H3-Receptor and Obesity Therapy
Authors: Díaz Néstor F. , Flores-Herrera Héctor , García-López Guadalupe , Molina-Hernández Anayansi
Published: July 2019

The brain histaminergic system plays a pivotal role in energy homeostasis, through H1-
receptor activation, it increases the hypothalamic release of histamine that decreases food intake and
reduces body weight. One way to increase the release of hypothalamic histamine is through the use of
antagonist/inverse agonist for the H3-receptor. Histamine H3-receptors are auto-receptors and heteroreceptors
located on the presynaptic membranes and cell soma of neurons, where they negatively regulate
the synthesis and release of histamine and other neurotransmitters in the central nervous system.
Although several compounds acting as H3-receptor antagonist/inverse agonists have been developed,
conflicting results have been reported and only one has been tested as anti-obesity in humans. Animal
studies revealed the opposite effect in food intake, energy expeditor, and body weight, depending on
the drug, spice, and route of administration, among others. The present review will explore the state of
art on the effects of H3-receptor ligands on appetite and body-weight, going through the following: a
brief overview of the circuit involved in the control of food intake and energy homeostasis, the participation
of the histaminergic system in food intake and body weight, and the H3-receptor as a potential
therapeutic target for obesity.

Published: July 2019

The main purpose of this study is to explore any dimension from traditional market consumerâ€™s experiences that could affect their behaviour. The variables included in this study are experience quality, perceived value, visitorâ€™s satisfaction, and customer loyalty. This study divided into two phases: exploring any indicators that construct the experience quality of traditional marketâ€™s customer using Exploratory Factor Analysis, and analysing the relationship between the variables on the model. In the first phase, the data was collected by doing a Focus Discussion Group that consist of six to nine traditional marketâ€™s customers. The data for the second phase was collected by questionnaire on 250 traditional marketâ€™s customer. This study found there are seven indicators that could construct the experience quality of traditional marketâ€™s customer, however the experience quality is found to have no significant effect toward customer loyalty. In addition perceived value and visitorâ€™s satisfaction is proved to have significant effect toward customer loyalty, thus these two variables could fully mediate the relationship between experience quality and customer loyalty.
Towards a Global View on Suburban Gentrification: From Redevelopment to Development
Authors: Hudalah Delik , Adharina Nabilla
Published: July 2019

The gentrification literature, which is originated in the urban context, has now extended to suburb. Using content analysis on previous related case studies, this article shows that suburban gentrification is not necessarily a natural phenomenon resulting from disinvestment as the neighborhood lifecycle approach commonly suggests. As long as there is a development trigger, the suburb can gentrify anytime as it generally has a lower land value and a lower risk than urban area. The private sector and government play a key role in initiating and facilitating it to happen. In suburban context, the impacts of gentrification is complex, entailing varying negative and positive implications for the physical environment, the economies, and the society.

Published: July 2019

Использование поляризационно-модулированного сигнала предъявляет дополнительные требования к про­цессу обнаружения такого сигнала, так как при смене поляризации возможно существенное изменение энергетических параметров сигнала при одинаковых угловых положениях диаграммы направленности антенны.Выполнено исследование зависимостей средней вероятности пропуска сигнала для заданной дальности цели от сочетания различных показателей, определяющих положение поляризационной диаграммы направленности, отношения сигнала к помехе и веса луча. Получен алгоритм анализа последовательности решений по обнаружению поляризационно-модулированного сигнала. Получена зависимость качества обнаружения ПМ-сигнала от шага поиска. Предложен алгоритм распознавания ложных обнаружений. Выполнен анализ вариантов потери луча, несущего ложную информацию. Определено среднее время устойчивого сопровождения луча.Процесс работы анализируемого алгоритма представлен простой цепью Маркова, модель алгоритма – диаграммой состояний потоков решений и ложных обнаружений, процесс поиска – последовательностью проверок, решения по которым носят статистический характер. Получены зависимости между средним временем поиска луча и отношением полезного сигнала к помехе. Показано, что процесс поиска характеризуется наличием оптимального значения вероятности ложных обнаружений, при котором обеспечивается минимальное среднее значение времени поиска. Полученные результаты позволяют утверждать, что вероятность пропуска определяет основные показатели обнаружения широкополосного поляризационно-модулированного сигнала.
