СОЦИАЛЬНЫЕ ИСТОЧНИКИ ОСОБЕННОЙ ЧАСТИ УГОЛОВНОГО ПРАВА
Authors: Асланян Руслан Георгиевич
Published: January 2023

Взаимосвязь уголовно-правовых предписаний с внешней социальной средой развивается дифференцированно: по линии детерминации и по линииобеспечения инфраструктуры их реализации. Специфика социальных источниковотрасли состоит в том, что они обладают свойством генерировать появление, содержание и трансформацию уголовно-правового предписания. Вместе с тем, этиисточники, традиционно понимаемые как система реально существующих общественных отношений и норм, во-первых, никогда не детерминируют уголовноправовые предписания непосредственно, но только будучи отраженными общественным сознанием, и во-вторых, сами по себе не могут составлять предмет науки уголовного права. Развитие уголовно-правового учения о социальных источниках отрасли требует признать, что детерминирующие уголовно-правовые предписания социальные источники всегда преломляются общественным сознанием и имеют внешнюю форму объективизации в виде оценочных суждений о наличии криминальных рисков для нормального развития той или иной сферы общественных отношений. «Форма выражения социальных источников» выступает необходимымтеоретическим конструктом, позволяющим профессионально исследовать механизм социальной детерминации уголовно-правовых предписаний.

В статье рассматриваются актуальные тенденции развития международно-правового регулирования транспортно-логистической сферы в АзиатскоТихоокеанском регионе (АТР), изменения в международно-правовом регулировании отрасли, произошедшие вследствие изменения геополитической повестки, атакже влияние процессов диджитализации и антиглобализационных настроений вмировой экономике на формирование новых трендов в регламентации трансграничной логистики. Анализ влияющих факторов и трендов международно-правовогорегулирования позволил выявить ключевые векторы его развития, а также сформулировать задачи, актуальные для создания новой парадигмы регламентированиямежгосударственного сотрудничества в транспортной сфере в Азиатско-Тихоокеанском регионе с учётом позиций России и Китая в мире в настоящем и ближайшем будущем. Новая парадигма современности – регионализация экономики и, какследствие этого, транспортно-логистического сотрудничества. В современных социально-экономических условиях, когда введённые против России международныесанкции изменили карту международного сотрудничества, формирование актуальной транспортно-логистической экосистемы является одним из ведущих трендовразвития отрасли. В условиях цифровизации и автоматизации процессов, разрывароссийско-европейских логистических маршрутов, укрепления международногосотрудничества в Азиатско-Тихоокеанском регионе требуется модернизация международно-правового регулирования транспортно-логистического сотрудничества сцелью создания и внедрения единой цифровой платформы, позволяющей полноценно обеспечить логистический провайдинг 5-го уровня, создания стандарта международного электронного документооборота и электронной накладной. Задачаформирования международно-правового регулирования сопряжения цифровых логистических платформ стран Евразийского экономического союза (ЕАЭС), странШанхайской Организации Сотрудничества (ШОС) и всех стран АТР является одной из центральных для обеспечения резильентности российской экономики и развития интеграционных процессов в восточной части Евразии.

Целью работы является выявление наиболее общих качеств крайних форм недемократических государственных режимов, обусловливающих особенности политико-правовой действительности и определяющих специфику егогенезиса. Основное содержание исследования составляет анализ факторов, обуславливающих нестабильность тоталитарных систем, предопределяющих их крушение. Теоретическая и практическая значимость определяется актуальностьюзнания сущностных качеств недемократических политических режимов, позволяющего эффективно противодействовать укреплению тоталитарных тенденций в современных государствах. Политико-правовой анализ строительства государственности в разных странах свидетельствует о том, что тоталитарные государства, продолжающие существовать и в XXI в., никогда не достигали экономических, идеологических и иных заявленных целей. Крах тоталитаризма предопределен внутренними субстанциональными противоречиями, неотъемлемыми и вытекающими из его природы.

Сотрудничество на Дальнем Востоке между Китаем и Россией является важной частью всеобъемлющего стратегического партнёрства между двумястранами, а сотрудничество в области образования не только способствует укреплению дружбы между двумя народами, но и придает импульс развитию ДальнегоВостока. В связи с историческим, географическим и другими факторами сотрудничество между вузами Дальнего Востока и вузами Китая долгое время ограничивалась преимущественно Севером Китая, особенно его Северо-Востоком. Сейчас всёбольше и больше средних школ на юге Китая обучают русскому языку, а Китайпридаёт большое значение высшему профессиональному образованию, число университетов, предлагающих специальности русского языка, постепенно увеличивается, и сотрудничество между российским Дальним Востоком (РДВ) и Китаем в области образования открывает новые возможности. В данной статье будет проанализирована текущая ситуация сотрудничества между Дальним Востоком России и Китаем в области образования и внесены предложения по будущим направлениямсотрудничества.

Objetivo: Avaliar o que provoca alterações psicossociais que levam pacientes pós-bariátricos a se submeterem à cirurgia de contorno corporal. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão integrativa da literatura realizada a partir da pesquisa nas bases de dados Portal Capes, Science Direct e Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO). Para tal, foram utilizados os Descritores em Ciências da Saúde (DeCS): “Obesity”, "Bariatric Surgery" e "Plastic Surgery" combinados utilizando o operador booleano “AND”. Foram adotados os estudos que responderam à pergunta norteadora dessa revisão, publicados entre 2018 e 2022, nos idiomas: inglês ou português e textos do tipo artigo. Foram retirados os estudos repetidos em mais de uma base de dados e os que não seguiram a temática central. No fim, utilizou-se 16 artigos. Resultados: Os achados que indicaram as alterações psíquicas em pacientes pós-bariátricos foram: excesso de tecido gorduroso, excesso de pele, excesso de mamas, transtorno de imagem corporal, baixa autoestima e depressão. Isso tudo pode levá-los a buscar a realização de cirurgias de contorno corporal algum tempo depois da bariátrica. Considerações finais: Os fatores que provocam alterações psicossociais que levam pacientes pós-bariátricos a se submeterem à cirurgia de contorno corporal estão relacionados a dois principais grupos: os físicos e os psíquicos.

New quantum codes derived from the images of constacyclic codes
Authors: Wang Liqi , Zheng Xiujing , Zhu Shixin
Published: January 2023

Assume that $q$ is a prime power and $m\geq 2$ is a positive integer. Cyclic codes over $\mathbb{F}_{q^{2m}}$ of length $n=\frac{q^{2m}-1}{\rho }$ with $\rho\mid (q-1)$, and constacyclic codes over $\mathbb{F}_{q^{2m}}$ of length $n=\frac{q^{2m}-1}{\rho }$ with $\rho\mid (q+1)$ are considered in this paper, respectively. Two classes of quantum codes are derived from the images of these codes by the Hermitian construction. Compared with the previously known quantum codes, the quantum codes in our scheme have better parameters.
Unbiased quantum phase estimation
Authors: Lu Xi , Lin Hongwei
Published: January 2023

Quantum phase estimation algorithm (PEA) is one of the most important algorithms in early studies of quantum computation. However, we find that the PEA is not an unbiased estimation, which prevents the estimation error from achieving an arbitrarily small level. In this paper, we propose an unbiased phase estimation algorithm (UPEA) based on the original PEA. We also show that a maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) post-processing step applied on UPEA has a smaller mean absolute error than MLE applied on PEA. In the end, we apply UPEA to quantum counting, and use an additional correction step to make the quantum counting algorithm unbiased.
Distributed Shor's algorithm
Authors: Xiao Ligang , Qiu Daowen , Luo Le , Mateus Paulo
Published: January 2023

Shor's algorithm is one of the most important quantum algorithm proposed by Peter Shor [Proceedings of the 35th Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science, 1994, pp. 124--134]. Shor's algorithm can factor a large integer with certain probability and costs polynomial time in the length of the input integer. The key step of Shor's algorithm is the order-finding algorithm, the quantum part of which is to estimate $s/r$, where $r$ is the ``order" and $s$ is some natural number that less than $r$. {{Shor's algorithm requires lots of qubits and a deep circuit depth, which is unaffordable for current physical devices.}} In this paper, to reduce the number of qubits required and circuit depth, we propose a quantum-classical hybrid distributed order-finding algorithm for Shor's algorithm, which combines the advantages of both quantum processing and classical processing. {{ In our distributed order-finding algorithm, we use two quantum computers with the ability of quantum teleportation separately to estimate partial bits of $s/r$.}} The measuring results will be processed through a classical algorithm to ensure the accuracy of the results. Compared with the traditional Shor's algorithm that uses multiple control qubits, our algorithm reduces nearly $L/2$ qubits for factoring an $L$-bit integer and reduces the circuit depth of each computer.
Guidelines to use the ICSM for developing quantum-classical systems

Published: January 2023

Quantum computing is the turning point that represents a revolution in software development that will make it possible to solve those problems unsolvable with classical computing. Just as in other milestones in the history of software development, such as the adoption of object-oriented systems, where new software development processes and new life cycles emerged, with the quantum computing revolution, a new life cycle for quantum and hybrid software systems is needed. Although there are some life cycle proposals for quantum software systems, most of them do not comprehensively address the specific needs of these systems. In this paper, a quantum life cycle proposal is presented adapted from the Incremental Commitment Spiral Model (ICSM) and an example of its use is presented. nd that projection cannot exceed $\lfloor\frac{n}{2}\rfloor$.
Exchange the Markovianity and the memory of magnetic environment interacting locally with a single quantum dot
Authors: Mohammed A. R. , El-Shahat T. M. , Metwally N.
Published: January 2023

In this manuscript, we show that it is possible to change the environment Markovianity/memory into non-Markovianity/memoryless, and vice versa. This idea is clarified by considering a system of a single two level quantum dot interacts locally with a magnetic field. The Markovianity of the environment depends on whether the coupling between the two systems is time dependent/independent and whether the systems suffering from damping or not. The amount of the lost/gained information and its scrambling depends on the energy gap spacing between the levels of the quantum dot, where the Skew information and the out-of-time ordered are used as quantifiers for both phenomena. Thermally, one can freeze the environment properties to be memory/ memoryless, where our results show the amount of exchanging information and its scrambling are constant as the temperature increases.
Quantum algorithm for ESOP minimization
Authors: Ketineni Hrithik , Perkowski Marek
Published: January 2023

The Exclusive-OR Sum-of-Product (ESOP) minimization problem has long been of interest to the research community because of its importance in classical logic design (including low-power design and design for test), reversible logic synthesis, and knowledge discovery, among other applications. However, no exact minimal minimization method has been presented for more than seven variables on arbitrary functions. This paper presents a novel quantum-classical hybrid algorithm for the exact minimal ESOP minimization of incompletely specified Boolean functions. This algorithm constructs oracles from sets of constraints and leverages the quantum speedup offered by Grover's algorithm to find solutions to these oracles, thereby improving over classical algorithms. Improved encoding of ESOP expressions results in substantially fewer decision variables compared to many existing algorithms for many classes of Boolean functions. This paper also extends the idea of exact minimal ESOP minimization to additionally minimize the cost of realizing an ESOP expression as a quantum circuit. To the extent of the authors' knowledge, such a method has never been published. This algorithm was tested on completely and incompletely specified Boolean functions via quantum simulation.

Secure multiparty quantum aggregating protocol
Authors: Sutradhar Kartick
Published: January 2023

Secure multiparty quantum computation is an important and essential paradigm of quantum computing. All the existing aggregating protocols are $(n, n)$ threshold approaches, where $n$ represents the total number of players. If one player is dishonest, the aggregation protocols cannot aggregate efficiently. In this paper, we propose a $(t, n)$ threshold-based aggregating protocol, where $t$ represents the threshold number of players. This protocol uses Shamir's secret sharing, quantum state, SUM gate, quantum Fourier transform, blind matrix, and Pauli operator. This protocol can perform the aggregation securely and efficiently. In this protocol, we simulate this aggregating protocol using the IBM quantum processor to verify the correctness and feasibility.
Disclosure of Sustainability Information in Banks: The Case of Slovakia and Turkey
Authors: ZEYTİNOĞLU Emin , TUMPACH Milos
Published: January 2023

The study aimed to determine the extent to which sustainability issues are disclosed by banks operating in Slovakia and Turkey between 2019 and 2021 and whether there is a significant difference in the level of information disclosed within the scope of sustainability between countries and years. To determine the level of disclosure of sustainability information, firstly, content analysis was conducted within the scope of GRI4. Then, a two-way ANOVA test was applied to determine the statistical differences between countries and years in terms of the level of information disclosure. According to the results of the study, the highest level of disclosure for banks in Slovakia and Turkey was for general standards information, while the lowest level of disclosure was for environmental information. In addition, significant differences were determined in terms of reporting across both years and countries. The disclosure score for countries has shown a steady but small increase over the years. In addition, the information disclosure scores of the countries were close to each other, especially for 2019 and 2020, and there were no major differences. This research contributes to the literature by comparatively presenting the level of sustainability reporting of large-scale commercial banks in the banking sector of two countries within the scope of the GRI Financial Services Sector disclosure index.

Published: January 2023

This study investigates the effects of the strategic orientations of SMEs, which are in the group most affected by the COVID-19 pandemic process, which exemplifies volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) conditions, on their organizational resilience, and the differentiation of SMEs organizational resilience according to the teleworking style they prefer. The research model and hypotheses were examined by using the Structural Equation Modeling technique on the data collected by the survey method by interviewing 500 SME owners/partners/senior executives operating in the service sector in Turkey. In addition, teleworking methods were compared with post-hoc tests. As the results, technology, market, learning, and entrepreneurial orientations affect organizational resilience positively and significantly. Technology orientation plays an important role for companies to have telework skills in order to ensure business continuity and to increase their organizational resilience. It was determined that organizational resilience in SMEs differed according to the type of telework. The systematic and regular types of telework adopted by firms provide higher organizational resilience than those applied in exceptional and temporary situations. And companies with different strategic orientations combinations will likely have higher organizational resilience. With its perspective and findings, this research both contributes to the relevant literature and is an eye-opener for practitioners.
A Study of the Relationship between Safety Perceptions and Mindfulness
Authors: UĞURAL Mehmet Nurettin
Published: January 2023

It is well known that the construction industry has a high rate of workplace accidents, resulting in complex legal situations and legal cases. Researchers are debating whether the majority of workplace accidents and injuries are the result of employees' unsafe work practices or unsafe working conditions. In this context, it has been determined that we must comprehend the trait predictors of safety behaviors, which influence workplace accidents and injuries. This study's primary objective is to identify the factors that influence safety behavior in construction workplaces. In previous studies, the effects of employee perceptions of safety culture on safety behavior performance were typically measured with the aid of various mediators. This study, unlike previous ones, focuses on revealing the mediating effect of employee mindfulness perceptions in the relationship between safety culture and safety behavior. Using a sample of 387 employees from the Turkish construction industry, a 58-item survey was conducted to determine the impact of safety culture perception and mindfulness on self-reported safety behavior. A structural equation model was used to analyze and explain the relationships between the proposed framework's constructs. The results of the study indicate that safety culture is associated with safety behavior, and that mindfulness mediates this relationship. There are significant relationships between employees' perceptions of safety culture, mindfulness, and safety behavior, according to the findings. Safety culture and mindfulness are significant predictors of safety behaviors, and mindfulness is an essential personal resource for a successful safety-focused organization.

The Use of Media by Turkey’s Generation Z as a Source for Political Information
Authors: ORAL Uğur
Published: January 2023

In the historical process, each generation has interpreted and organized the social life and the values of the society according to their own philosophy and style of life. Therefore, the influence of the Z generation, which constitutes the most crowded age group of the world population, has become more evident in politics as in every field. It has become more difficult to influence and direct the Z generation voters, who use technology much better than previous generations. One of the most important roles of the media in political communication is to inform the public about political issues and events. The public reaches the information they need to make informed political decisions through mass media. The findings of the research, which is the subject of this study, revealed how and to what extent the Z generation is affected by the media in the process of obtaining information on political issues in Turkey, and thus how the political parties will reach the Z generation through the media. In light of the research findings, it has also been revealed how political communication should evolve to reach the Z generation voters, which will have a decisive effect on the election results in the 21st century.

Purpose of the paper: The study aimed to evaluate the impact of the political change that occurred in Sudan on the practice of public relations. Methodology: The descriptive analytical approach was used to obtain the results, and it is defined as a method of analysis that focuses on sufficient and accurate information about a particular phenomenon or topic or a known period. The questionnaire was utilized as one of the tools that are used in the descriptive research to obtain the primary data and then analyze it. Findings: The study concluded that the practice of public relations in Sudan needs a more democratic environment, which helps the independence of public relations.The study also found that the intellectual and cultural shifts that accompanied the political change had a positive impact on the practice of public relations. This study indicates that the environment directly affects the practice of public relations, especially during political change. The study also emphasizes the importance of continuous training and education of public relations practitioners to deal with environmental change, especially political change. Therefore, public relations practitioners who work in public institutions should consider that successful public relations practice will be measured by its contribution to social advancement and the creation of harmony and consensus among the components of society. Originality/value of paper: This study contributes to providing a detailed assessment of the reality of public relations practice in Sudan before and after the political change.
Are Social Forums Withering Away ?
Authors: YILDIZ Neşe
Published: January 2023

This study focuses on the Social Forums which were created in 2001 aiming to be the voice of anti-globalisation movement in a time of globalisation process against international organisations such as the WEF, the WTO, the IMF, the WB, and G7/G8 which are thought to be as pioneers, advocates and representatives of neo-liberal philosophy and understanding. After the existence of the World Social Forum-WSF, thematic forums, regional forums, and national and local forums were also created accordingly. All of the Social Forums have been developed as global action platforms that mobilize the masses around the world and reveal social principles against the globalisation order. This study aims to analyse and evaluate the effectiveness and transformation of social forums, especially the WSF taking the 21 years into account. This article argues that Social Forums formed a discourse, action and policy in their founding years, and nowadays they have lost their effectiveness and weakened especially in terms of mass participation, creating excitement and offering an alternative suitable to the motto "another world is possible". The method of this research consists of a literature review, conceptual analysis and the author’s observations by participation in some of the Social Forums. This study compiles many non-academic elements such as the documents and statements published as a result of the social forums and the views of the leading activists of the social forums and considers them from the academic perspective.
A Study on the Relationship between Slow Journalism and Virtual Reality: The New York Times and The Guardian Samples
Authors: DURGEÇ Petek , DEMİREL Simge Deniz
Published: January 2023

The present study has highlighted the relationship between virtual reality and slow journalism in news presentation and has sought an answer to the question whether this relationship would create a journalism model that prioritizes sensation and empathy required by the society. To this end, a content analysis was conducted in the context of slow journalism on a total of 316 news stories on the YouTube channels of The New York Times and The Guardian newspapers that were prepared with virtual reality applications. The findings of the analysis have revealed that the news stories (VR news) prepared using the virtual reality technology hold the potential to enable the users to sense the events more deeply. It has also been found that VR news stories are mainly selected from timeless topics that are among the most important elements of slow journalism and prepared and presented with a narrative language. It is believed that when virtual reality experiences and slow journalism contents are brought together, it is possible to produce a sensitive journalism practice that has a potential to prioritize sensation, feeling and empathy and destroy prejudices formed over stereotypes. Through such news, the audience will be able to feel, sense and finally empathize with the event enjoying the technical features of virtual reality applications that enable storytelling. Drawing on the fact that media is an important means of cultural transmission and adopting the principles of slow journalism, it is thought that news content prepared with the virtual reality technology has a transformative effect on society.

Saudi Arabia offered a doctor of optometry programme. Programmes were accredited by an accreditation body through periodic quality audits in 7 countries. Morocco had the highest average number of graduates per annum (n = 305), while Yemen had only 20. Conclusion: EMR countries differ in the number of optometry education programmes offered, as well as in their curricular competency levels and systems to monitor quality standards. There is a need for regional collaboration to harmonize and improve the quality of optometry education in the EMR.

Authors: Alrasheed Saif
Published: January 2023

Background: Childhood visual impairment has a significant effect on social life, educational performance, and professional choices, and can lead to poverty. Aims: To review the prevalence and causes of visual impairment among children aged 5–17 years in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR). Methods: This study was conducted in 2021 using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and MetaAnalyses (PRISMA) method. We searched Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, Index Medicus for the Eastern Mediterranean Region, and Medline for studies published between January 2000 and April 2020. The articles included were epidemiological studies of prevalence and causes of childhood visual impairment published in peer-reviewed journals. Results:Of the 12 705 articles screened, 23 from 9 countries met the inclusion criteria. The pooled prevalence of uncorrected, presenting, and best-corrected childhood visual impairment was 11.57%, 8.34% and 1.21%, respectively. The most common causes of childhood visual impairment were refractive error (51.89%), amblyopia (11.15%), retinal disorders (3.90%), corneal opacity (3.0%), and cataract (1.88%). There was a highly significant heterogeneity between the studies (P < 0.0001). Conclusion: The prevalence of visual impairment among children in the EMR was high, and the leading causes were uncorrected refractive error and amblyopia, which were avoidable. Access to eyecare services may help improve early diagnosis and treatment of preventable causes of childhood visual impairment.

In order to cope with globalisation and the growing world of work, educational systems are challenged to improve the quality of education. The use of technology in education attracts the focus of developing countries aiming at raising their educational status to fit the global scale. Therefore, Rwanda education system is promoting the use of ICT in primary and secondary education as an instructional tool. Interactive Mathematics (IM) software for Rwanda was developed to support the effective implementation of the Competence Based Curriculum (CBC) of mathematics in primary level. Designed as quasi-experimental using control and experimental groups, this study was conducted in urban public and private schools to investigate the effect of IM software on grade-5 learners' performance. Considering IM software as a new technology under piloting phase, this study was grounded in TPACK framework with theories of technology acceptance model. Data collected through pre-test and post-test in form of scores were analysed using SPSS 23.0 to compute the statistical effect of the teaching interventions. From results, IM software descriptively showed a greater performance than the traditional class, based on the effect size of significance and learning gains. Using repeated measures ANOVA through the general linear model, it was found that IM improved learners' performance more in public than private schools, although private schools showed a high-performance level at both pre-and post-test stages. Despite that, males’ performance remained higher than females’ although females descriptively improved in post-test. The study suggests conducting qualitative studies that would bring more information about the features of IM in quality mathematics education.
Proposition of correlations for the dynamic parameters of carbonate sands
Authors: Barroso Felipe , Moura Alfran
Published: January 2023

The offshore industry has been challenged with the necessity to build structures with foundations on carbonate soils, found in extensive areas of the tropical and intertropical zones of the planet. As a better understanding of the behavior of these soils becomes more and more indispensable, this paper presents equations to predict the dynamic behavior of carbonate sands, in which two expressions (G/Gmax versus g and D versus g) were obtained via multiple linear regression using data from resonant column tests carried out on carbonate sands from Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico (Cataño & Pando, 2010). The proposed equations agreed well with experimental data. The error for the expressions G/Gmax versus g was less than 10%, while the expressions D versus γ trended to underestimate the values for the loose condition (Dr = 24%), presenting an effective confining stress of 50kPa. Furthermore, the proposed equations were compared with predictions exhibited by Javdanian & Jafarian (2018) of G/Gmax versus g and D versus g for carbonate sands, also yielding fairly concordant results.

Background/Aim: The best course of treatment for children with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) is renal transplantation (RT), but some pediatric RT recipients are admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) post-transplant. In the early and late post-operative phases, clinical data about pediatric RT recipients who are admitted to ICU are available. In this study, we aimed to evaluate demographic features, main reasons, and outcomes of pediatric RT patients admitted to the ICU during the early and late post-operative phases.
Methods: This study was a cohort study. We analyzed the medical records of pediatric RT recipients (<18 years of age) who were admitted to the ICU between May 30, 2011, and October 16, 2021, at our center, retrospectively. Patients ≥18 years of age and those without available data were excluded. We obtained the following data from ICU follow-up records and hospital medical records. The median (minimum-maximum) for continuous variables, frequencies, and percentages for categorical variables were used. The Chi-square test was used to compare categorical variables. We created graphs using percentages and frequencies to summarize the results.
Results: Nineteen (16.5%) of the 115 pediatric patients who underwent RT were admitted to the ICU during the study period. Thirteen patients (68.4%) were male, and the mean age was 10.2 (4.9) years. Hypertension (21.2%) was the most common comorbidity. Eighteen (94.7%) received transplants from living donors. Cystic-hereditary-congenital disorders (42.1%, n=8) and congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract (26.3%, n=5) were among the etiologies of ESKD. Ten patients (52.6%) were admitted to the ICU >6 months after transplantation. Epileptic seizure (n=6, 31.6%), respiratory failure (n=4, 21.1%), and cardiac diseases (n=2, 10.5%) were among the main reasons for ICU admission. During ICU follow-up, invasive mechanical ventilation was needed for five patients (26.3%), and renal replacement treatment was needed for four patients (21.1%). The mean length of ICU was 12.4 (28.5), and the mean hospital stay was 25.8 (29.4) days. The ICU and hospital survival rates were 78.9% and 97%, respectively, while 3.5% was the hospital mortality rate. Hemorrhagic cerebrovascular disease, acute hepatic failure, and cardiogenic shock secondary to pericardiocentesis were the causes of death in the ICU.
Conclusion: Patients mostly had ICU admissions because of epileptic seizures and acute respiratory failure. A multidisciplinary approach involving pediatric nephrologists, transplant surgeons, and an intensive care team successfully manages pediatric RT recipients admitted to the intensive care unit.

Background/Aim: Liver transplantation surgery is one of the most common abdominal surgeries requiring blood transfusion. Coagulation parameters vary during the perioperative period because of the patient profile. Blood transfusion management should be carefully controlled to avoid causing dysfunction in the newly transplanted organ. Various laboratory parameters are used to achieve this. This study aimed to investigate the effect of transfusion managed by conventional coagulation tests or thromboelastogram (TEG) on blood product consumption and postoperative outcomes in the post-reperfusion period.
Methods: The records of 90 recipients who underwent transplantation between January 1, 2012, and November 30, 2022, were retrospectively analyzed. Twenty patients who were administered blood transfusion under TEG guidance in the post-reperfusion period constituted the case group, while 20 patients non-consecutive randomly selected among other patients who were administered blood transfusion with conventional coagulation tests constituted the control group. In conclusion, 40 patients were included in this retrospective case-control study. We retrospectively analyzed demographic data, surgical data, perioperative laboratory parameters, intraoperative total and post-reperfusion blood and blood product transfusions, TEG parameters, and postoperative complications.
Results: No difference was found between the groups regarding demographic data, etiological factors, surgical data, and preoperative laboratory parameters (P>0.05). There was a significant decrease in the amount of fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfused in the case group compared to the control group in the intraoperative total and post-reperfusion period (P=0.011, P=0.003). There was no difference between the groups regarding other blood product transfusions and postoperative complications (P>0.05). Regarding the effects of intraoperative total and post-reperfusion blood and blood products on ventilator stay, intensive care unit stay, length of stay (LOS), hepatic artery thrombosis, graft rejection, postoperative kidney damage, and first 28-day mortality, only a weak negative correlation was found between intraoperative total and postreperfusion fibrinogen use and LOS (r=-0.325/P=0.041, r=-0.354/P=0.025).
Conclusion: TEG-guided transfusion in the post-reperfusion period reduced total blood product consumption. Besides, the increase in the use of fibrin has led to a decrease in LOS. However, using TEG has no significant effect on postoperative mortality and morbidity. TEG and an objective assessment of patient clinical status may be an ideal guide for transfusion strategy.
