Examination of Air Quality of Dr. Sami Yağız Street in Niğde
Authors: Soydan Orhun
Published: December 2023

Air pollution can be defined as the accumulation of gas, air, or particulate matter released as a result of fuel residues and chemical processes in the atmosphere in amounts that harm the lives of living things. Rapid urbanization, industrialization, increase in the number of motor vehicles, meteorological conditions, fuels used for heating, and the spread of industrial establishments and thermal power plants play an important role in the increase in air pollution. Air pollution is a major environmental problem affecting people in both developed and developing countries, and it is estimated that megacities in developing countries, and a quarter of the world's population are exposed to unhealthy concentrations of air pollutants. People living in cities with high outdoor air pollution are more likely to suffer from heart disease, respiratory problems, and lung cancer than those living in urban areas with clean air. In the industrialized western world, urban air pollution is in some respects in its final stages, with a dramatic decline in SO2 and soot levels. The increase in the number of private vehicles is a newly emerging problem. Rapid urbanization in most developing countries has so far led to uncontrolled growth and environmental degradation. Air pollution levels are still rising in many cities. In this study, air quality was tried to be measured along Dr. Sami Yağız Street, which is one of the most heavily used areas of Niğde. H2S, O2 and CO measurements were made at 25 points at equal intervals on both sides of the street. Measurements were made at a total of 4 different time periods per day. The obtained values were transferred to ArcGIS 10.3 software and maps were produced. Measurement of gases other than H2S is not distributed homogeneously along the street, and traffic density and the businesses on the sides of the street cause changes in the rates of the gases.
Determination of Comfort Zones in Landscape Planning in Niğde
Authors: Soydan Orhun
Published: December 2023

Our cities, most of which do not show planned development, are turning into ecosystems that threaten the living life of the natural and cultural environment as a result of many environmental problems such as increasing human and building density and incorrect land use. This negative situation has the opportunity to be resolved with urban planning in which the physical structure of the city is balanced and with landscape plans that will create open and green areas in the city that contribute positively to human and environmental health. The urban heat island effect, which has emerged as a result of intense urbanization in recent years, creates problems for city residents. Unfortunately, most cities in the world face this negative climate phenomenon. It becomes difficult to combat the heat island effect, especially in cities where construction density increases unconsciously. Ecological planning appears as a factor that will prevent these problems from turning into important environmental problems in the future. The most important component to be considered in ecological planning is climate. In this study, thermal comfort areas were tried to be determined along Dr Sami Yağız Street, which is one of the most frequently used areas of Niğde. Temperature and humidity measurements were taken at 25 points at equal intervals on both sides of the street. Measurements were made on different days of the week and at 4 different times during the day. The obtained values were transferred to ArcGIS 10.3 software and maps were produced. A universal linear extension system was used in the evaluation of climate data, and climate factors and bioclimatically suitable areas on the street were determined and evaluated in terms of comfort level. It has been determined that the humidity rate in the study area varies according to measurement hours, and there is no significant change in temperature.
Identification of Alternaria, Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium spp. on Onion Plant (Allium cepa L.) Growing in Hatay, Amasya and Tokat Provinces Using MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry
Authors: Kara Merve , Soylu Emine Mine
Published: December 2023

Plant fungal disease pathogens cause significant yield and quality losses in onion growing areas. In addition to yield losses, they cause negative effects that reduce the quality and export potential of the product, resulting in significant economic losses during harvest, post-harvest, processing and marketing stages. In recent years, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) has emerged as a rapid, cost-effective, reproducible, and powerful technique for identifying microorganisms, and its impact on microbiological diagnosis has transformed workflow in equipped laboratories. In this study, proteomic analyzes were performed on Alternaria, Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium species isolated from onion growing areas in Hatay, Amasya, and Tokat provinces. After extraction of mycelium from single spore cultures of the isolates with ethanol-formic acid, the spectra of the individual fungal isolates were determined using the Flex control software program. These spectra were compared with Maldi Biotyper Real-Time Classification (RTC) and identification was performed. Of 519 different fungal isolates, 435 representative fungal isolates (83.8%)  were identified by MALDI TOF MS. Eighty-four fungal isolates could not be identified because they were not in a satisfactory range of purity and identification. Of the 435 isolates, 269 (61.8%) were identified as Fusarium spp., 80 isolates (18.4%) were identified as Alternaria spp., 60 isolates (13.8%) as Aspergillus spp., and 26 isolates (6.0%) as Penicillium spp. Among the fungal isolates, 72.5% of the Fusarium isolates, 78.8% of the Alternaria isolates, 90.0% of the Aspergillus isolates and 84.6% of the Penicillium isolates were identified as “highly probable” species with score values between 2.000-3.000 (green color). These species are Alternaria alternata, Alternaria infectoria, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Fusarium culmorum, Fusarium moniliforme, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium proliferatum, Fusarium solani, Fusarium verticillioides, Penicillium commune and Penicillium glabrum. The results clearly demonstrate that MALDI TOF MS biotyping may be used as a highly reliable and economical diagnostic method for routine diagnosis of diseases caused by Alternaria, Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium species.

Examination of Kreuzberg Protective Urban Renewal Principles Specific to Tepebağ-Kayalıbağ
Authors: Büyüköztürk Elife , Oral Murat
Published: December 2023

Renewing and reuniting the regions of cities that have become collapse areas with the city; urban renewal, which enables the city to be restored, is a term frequently used today. These collapsed areas need to be physically and socially renewed and revitalized. The main purpose of urban renewal studies is to reintegrate the isolated living spaces with the city. This integration should be realized not only physically and economically, but also socially and culturally. Kreuzberg Region in Germany suffered great damage in the World War II and turned into a depression zone over time. The “Protective City Renewal” method, which has been applied in the region since 1961, has an important place in urban renewal studies with its 12 basic principles. Urban renewal works in Tepebağ-Kayalıbağ neighborhoods, which constitute the historical city center in Adana province, are still at the very beginning of the process. Several projects have been carried out within the scope of street rehabilitation studies in the area, but these are thought to be insufficient. The aim of this study is to evaluate the “Protective City Renewal” method and to conduct an experiment on how the 12 principles of this method can be applied to the Tepebağ-Kayalıbağ section, which is an important historical texture to be preserved in Adana.

Authors: Bolaño-Arenas Jandro , Vásquez-Avendaño Emilse , Márquez-Blanco Norka , Amador-De Alvarino María
Published: December 2023

Las Infecciones Asociadas a la Atención Sanitaria (IAAS) son eventos adversos. Los insectos son potenciales vectores de microorganismos y se constituyen en factor de riesgo de las IAAS. Las infecciones del sitio quirúrgico son un tipo de IAAS que podría producirse por la presencia de insectos vectores en esta área. Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica para caracterizar este fenómeno en áreas quirúrgicas. Se seleccionaron 18 artículos que mostraron detección e identificación de los insectos como portadores de microorganismos potenciales causantes de IAAS en diferentes áreas hospitalarias no incluyendo a la quirúrgica. Los métodos de detección e identificación incluían métodos microbiológicos y/o moleculares que incluían o no pruebas con las soluciones de limpieza, desinfección y esterilización. Sólo una publicación realizó los tres procesos ante la detección de agentes potenciales en los insectos. No existen estudios que caractericen IAAS en áreas quirúrgicas relacionados con presencia de insectos, aunque hay reportes de estos eventos adversos; por lo cual debe considerarse como factor de riesgo para el desarrollo de las infecciones del sitio quirúrgico. Se deben realizar estudios que evidencien la relación existente entre el desarrollo de una ISQ como una IAAS y estos vectores, con la finalidad de prevenir su aparición y mejorar los procesos de asepsia y antisepsia en las áreas quirúrgicas.

Published: December 2023

One of the serious problems faced by the Magelang District in developing villages that have been transformed into rural tourism as an effort to alleviate poverty, is the socio-ecological crisis that threatens the goal of sustainable development. The dilemma of complex rural ecosystems is due to changes in the socio-ecological dimensions resulting from the interaction of material and energy exchanges between humans and their environment. Exploitation of nature in the name of tourism has become one of the short-term solutions for farming communities. As a result, problems such as natural damage to social conflicts occur in the village. This research aims to analyze the causes of the socio-ecological crisis and explore the Social system in Candirejo Village. Magelang Regency. The Social System seen from the perspective of constructivism will be measured and analyzed using three aspects of cybernetic reflection (Luhmann). The method used is case study qualitative research and data is collected through in-depth interviews, FGDs, and observations. The results show that socio-ecological improvements also impact agents of change, extend the tourism season, increase community participation, align the visitor experience with Borobudur's image, and increase equitable access to tourism revenue opportunities, all of which strengthen the socio-ecological field.
Halal Supply Chain Competencies
Authors: Voak Adam , Fairman Brian , Wahyuni Hana Catur
Published: December 2023

The global Halal industry is governed by Islamic ethical principles and dietary laws, which require a specialized workforce equipped with unique competencies (Abderahman et al., 2021). The Halal supply chain's complexity arises from, cultural and religious sensitivities, specific regulatory frameworks, transparency demands, sourcing challenges, logistical intricacies, rigorous certification, consumer preferences, market dynamics, risk management and the need for ongoing innovation. Navigating these multiple complexities is vital for maintaining resilience in the global Halal supply chain whilst meeting consumer expectations.

This paper presents a formative framework for human capability development with regard to the Halal supply chain, with a special focus on ensuring its resilience. In recognizing the multifaceted challenges faced by individuals operating in the sector, directly and indirectly, the proposed harmonised framework offers a structured approach to Halal supply chain competency development (De Boni & Forleo, 2019). The framework comprises four key dimensions that deal with aspects of (i) Assurance, (ii) Socio-Cultural and Ethical (iii) Technical and Operational, and (iv) Market-Related. Organizations can potentially employ this framework to design training programs, assess their current capabilities and strategically develop their human resources, thereby ensuring the Halal supply chain can build resilience while delivering high-quality assured products to a global consumer base ensuring sustainable growth and prosperity, without compromising Islamic principles (Yaacob et al., 2018).

Published: December 2023

This study aimed to investigate the association between central obesity and salty food consumption with the elevated of Small Dense Low-Density Lipoprotein-Cholesterol (sdLDL-C) among middle-aged Indonesian adults. Dietary behavior, together with the presence of obesity, leads to an increase in sdLDL-C. The study selected 8,611 subjects aged 49–64 years, from secondary data of a population-based survey conducted by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. The sdLDL-C concentration was determined using the Sampson equation. A significant association was observed between salty food consumption (OR=1.20; 95% CI: 1.04–1.38), general obesity (OR=2.59; 95% CI: 2.23–30), central obesity (OR=2.39; 95% CI: 2.11–2.70) and sdLDL-C. Diabetes and hypertension were positively associated with sdLDL-C, whereas Physical Activity (PA) was negatively associated with sdLDL-C. This study showed that obesity and consumption of salty food is associated with the increase of sdLDL-C, whereas PA is associated with the decrease of sdLDL-C.

Segundo Donida e Blanco (2021), o sistema educacional brasileiro pode ser considerado um reprodutor de desigualdades sociais refletidas pelas diferenças de acesso à leitura e escrita. Além desse caráter social, a escrita é uma tarefa cognitiva em que várias demandas (ideacionais, textuais, linguísticas, procedimentais, etc.) competem por atenção. Nesse sentido, fizemos uma revisão bibliográfica que perpassa os últimos 10 anos com o intuito de investigar como os estudos no campo da psicolinguística vem contribuindo para o ensino-aprendizagem de escrita. Na perspectiva da psicolinguística, a definição de escrita habilidosa envolve a necessidade de desenvolver conhecimento linguístico e de gênero textual na respectiva língua a ser utilizada (MANCHÓN, 2013). Para a investigação dessa escrita habilidosa, o avanço metodológico  (RODRIGUES, 2019) permitiu acompanhar o processo de escrita de forma síncrona e não invasiva com o uso de gravação de tela, registro de teclas pressionadas no computador (keyloggers), e rastreamento ocular de forma a subsidiar práticas escolares (BREUER, 2019; TIRYAKIOGLU, PETERS, VERSCHAFFEL, 2019). A literatura analisada engloba de modo geral a subdivisão do processo de escrita em planejamento, formulação/ tradução e revisão/ edição conforme modelos de Flower & Hayes (1980, 1981), Hayes (1996) e Kellogg (1996). Tais subprocessos interagem uns com os outros de modo cíclico, ou seja, eles não são implementados de modo linear, mas recursivamente ao longo do processo de redação. Portanto, a partir dessa revisão, compilamos amostras de investigações do processo pelo qual um escritor habilidoso gera, consolida e usa ideias, descrevendo as dificuldades apresentadas, promovendo a maior compreensão do fenômeno e possibilitando o desenvolvimento de estratégias a serem incorporadas ao ensino-aprendizagem.

EN. Graphic reportage requires a long-term production process, often requiring journalists and artists to be exclusively dedicated to one work at a time. Since the number of works produced annually is lower than in other fields of journalism, the question of financial revenue is posed differently. How, then, to make a living from one's pen and brush? Does engaging in such creative and subjective work, which sit on the fringes of the profession, condemn one to economic insecurity? Christophe Dabitch, a political science graduate, a graphic reportage scriptwriter and a journalist, discusses the difficulties of making a living exclusively from graphic journalism and the strategies deployed to finance this creative work.

Entonces, ¿cómo se vive de la pluma y el pincel? ¿La participación en estos márgenes más creativos y subjetivos de la profesión está condenada a la inseguridad económica? Christophe Dabitch, licenciado en Ciencias Políticas, guionista de cómics y periodista, comparte en esta entrevista su testimonio sobre las dificultades de vivir exclusivamente del cómic y las estrategias desplegadas para financiar esta labor creativa.

VARIA. Google et les éditeurs de presse en ligne. Une configuration négociée et négociable
Authors: Sire Guillaume
Published: December 2023

Le but de cet submission est de dévoiler les négociations et les traductions sous-tendues par la configuration médiatique au sein de laquelle l’infomédiaire Google et les éditeurs de presse en ligne coopèrent. En premier lieu, nous discutons des règles que doivent respecter les éditeurs pour intégrer le champ de Google Actualités, ainsi que de l’influence que Google peut avoir sur certains de leurs choix techniques. Nous nous intéressons également au degré de contrôle des éditeurs sur la diffusion et l’apparence de leurs contenus. Dans une seconde partie, nous discutons des préconisations d’ordre éditorial publiées par Google, afin de définir quelle est la « ligne méta-éditoriale » de la firme dès lors qu’il s’agit de traiter des informations d’actualité. Enfin, nous analysons les négociations qui entourent la stratégie de Search Engine Optimization (SEO) mise en place à Lexpress.fr. Et nous concluons en expliquant en quoi et à quel point, selon nous, le SEO constitue un moyen pour les éditeurs de maximiser leur trafic tout en préservant ce que leurs employés estiment être la qualité de leur travail.

 

In this submission we aim to disclose the negotiations and terminology in the media configuration through which Google and the publishers cooperate. First, we discuss the rules publishers must respect to access the Google News’ index, including Google’s influence on their technical choices. This enables us to analyze the degree of control publishers hold over the form and diffusion of their contents. In a second part, we discuss the editorial recommendations published by Google, so as to highlight the firm’s editorial meta-policy regarding how the news should be treated. Finally, we study the negotiations surrounding the SEO strategy of Lexpress.fr. We conclude that SEO is the only valid tool for publishers to maximize the traffic of their content, while preserving what their employees/journalists refer to as the quality of their work.

 

A proposta deste artigo é revelar as negociações e traduções associadas à configuração midiática na qual participam o infomediário Google e os editores da imprensa on-line. Inicialmente, discutimos que regras os editores devem respeitar para integrar o indexador Google Notícias, bem como a influência do Google em algumas das decisões técnicas tomadas pelos editores. Também nos interessamos pelo grau de controle dos editores sobre a difusão e a aparência dos seus conteúdos. Em um segundo momento, discutimos as recomendações editoriais publicadas pelo Google com o objetivo de definir a «linha meta-editorial» dessa organização no que diz respeito ao tratamento das notícias. Finalmente, analisamos as negociações que perpassam a estratégia de Search Engine Optimization (SEO) criado pelo site de notícias Lexpress.fr. Concluímos explicando como e até que ponto o SEO é, na nossa opinião, um meio para que os editores possam maximizar o tráfico do sítio ao mesmo tempo em que preservam a percepção que os seus empregados possuem da qualidade do seu trabalho.

A coleta ocorreu em outubro de 2022, nas bases de dados: lilacs; Medline; embase; scopus; web of Science; Science direct; doaj; cinahl; eric; pepsic, por meio do Portal Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior – CAPES. Utilizamos os descritores: adolescente; promoção em saúde; saúde mental; prática de grupo; processos grupais; estrutura de grupo e termos alternativos. Definiu-se como critérios de inclusão – textos completos, disponíveis na íntegra, em português, inglês e espanhol, com recorte temporal dos últimos cinco anos. Literatura cinzenta foi excluída. Resultados: A amostra final contou com oito estudos primários. Identiificamos que os grupos podem ser utilizados de diversas formas: consultivos, reabilitação e aconselhamento, podendo ainda, alcançar as perspectivas de prevenção, terapêutica e promoção de saúde mental junto aos adolescentes. Os artigos selecionados proporcionaram a criação de três categorias temáticas: processos de grupo, práticas de grupo e estrutura de grupo. O uso de grupos para a promoção de saúde mental de adolescents. Considerações finais: Agrupamos informações significativas para as três categorias temáticas elencadas. Tivemos menos dados quando tratamos da categoria estrutura de grupos. Grupos são importantes meios de ação sobre indivíduos e coletividades.

Esses fatores incluem as características do transtorno e a gravidade dos sintomas dos pacientes, as variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas, o grau de sobrecarga dos cuidadores e a qualidade do apoio recebido dos serviços de saúde mental. O papel de cuidador pode afetar a saúde física e mental do familiar bem como sua vida social e econômica. O relacionamento entre os membros da família é, também, afetado. Considerações finais: A qualidade de vida dos familiares cuidadores de pacientes com esquizofrenia constitui-se em um aspecto imprescindível para a avaliação dos serviços de saúde mental, visando a proporcionar impacto positivo na qualidade do cuidado e no tratamento ofertado.
Large-bore aspiration thrombectomy versus catheter-directed thrombolysis for the treatment of pulmonary embolism: A retrospective case review from a community hospital
Authors: Tomaszek Kamil , Rahman Feraz
Published: December 2023

Objectives:

This study aimed to assess acute outcomes following pulmonary embolism (PE) treatment with large-bore aspiration thrombectomy (LBAT) versus catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT).

Material and Methods:

This single-center retrospective analysis included patients who received interventional therapy for acute PE from 2018 to 2022. The primary outcomes were changes in pre-procedural mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), heart rate (HR), oxygen saturation, and supplemental requirements following the procedure. Mean PAP was measured immediately post-procedure for LBAT patients and on postoperative day 1 (POD#1) for CDT patients.

Results:

A total of 48 patient cases were reviewed, 31 underwent LBAT and 17 underwent CDT. The majority of patients were female and most had intermediate-high-risk PE. No major bleeding events or device-related complications occurred. LBAT resulted in a significant decrease in average mean PAP immediately post-procedure (31.3 ± 9.0–21.4 ± 8.1 mmHg; P < 0.001). On POD#1, CDT resulted in a significant decrease in mean PAP (31.7 ± 11.2–25.6 ± 7.9 mmHg; P = 0.005). The decrease in mean PAP was greater in the LBAT versus CDT group (P < 0.05). Through POD#1, a similar reduction in average HR was observed between groups; however, a statistically significant reduction in HR was noted immediately post-procedure with LBAT and not with CDT. LBAT patients had a significant reduction in average supplemental oxygen requirements post-procedure.

Conclusion:

LBAT was associated with a greater reduction in mean PAP than CDT at an earlier post-procedural time point. LBAT may be advantageous over CDT due to rapid thrombus extraction; however, further studies with increased sample sizes are needed.

Transesophageal Echocardiography Probe-induced Esophageal Perforation
Authors: Singh Ajmer , Nanda Chinmaya , Mehta Yatin
Published: December 2023

Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe-induced esophageal perforation is rare. A 67-year-old man underwent a Bentall procedure with mitral valve replacement under TEE monitoring. Two hours later, the patient had a blood-stained aspirate from the nasogastric tube. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography of the chest showed esophageal perforation, which was treated with the fluoroscopic deployment of covered metal stents. The patient had an uneventful recovery.
Effects of physician therapy sessions on depression – Evidence-based practices
Authors: Prakash Nehapriya
Published: December 2023

This research study investigates the impact of physician therapy sessions on individuals suffering from depression. It examines the effectiveness of therapy as an evidence-based practice in the management of depression. Three distinct research papers were reviewed to investigate the effects of therapy sessions on physician burnout. Each study employed various methodologies, including surveys, interventions and qualitative analyses. Gender differences were also examined as a potential variable. Paper one concluded that despite being valuable support mechanisms, debriefing sessions did not significantly reduce burnout syndrome. In contrast, Paper Two and Paper Three reported a significant decrease in burnout following the interventions. All three papers found that gender was the only variable that changed. While the scores of the Maslach Burnout Inventory did not change in Paper One, the debriefing sessions were appreciated and accepted by the participants. Paper Three provided in-depth information, including examples, to enhance comprehension. Two out of the three papers concluded that implementing therapy sessions, such as counselling, cognitive-behavioural therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction, group therapy, and mindfulness workshops, for physicians can prevent burnout syndrome. The third paper showed no significant change, suggesting that exclusive therapy sessions may need to be combined with other solutions, such as mindfulness practices or reduced working hours. These findings have the potential to inform practice changes, including updated clinical guidelines, new term protocols, enhanced screening and prevention strategies, quality improvement initiatives, training and education feedback, adaptation, monitoring, and evaluation. Overcoming barriers such as knowledge, skills, resources, motivation, attitude, and organisational culture is crucial for the successful implementation of evidence-based practices (EBP). Further, international research is needed to identify local limitations and advantages. This topic offers valuable insights into EBP and its role in improving patient outcomes, with the ultimate goal of reducing physician burnout and enhancing the quality of patient care.
