Wildlife assessments can provide crucial information regarding species richness, relative abundance and spatial, temporal, and ecological information on wildlife habitat associations. The assessment’s information can in turn be used for developing management policies including for establishing touristic zones. We investigated wildlife occurrences in the Chandragiri Hills, Kathmandu Nepal from 2015-2019 to provide baseline data to inform the potential sites for ecotourism. During the study period, we recorded 30 mammal species, 199 bird species, 34 herpetofauna species and 77 butterfly species. The area harbors three globally and six nationally threatened mammal species, two globally and seven nationally threatened with one endemic bird species, one globally and nationally threatened herpetofauna, and one nationally threatened butterfly species. We also explored four potential hiking routes for observing wildlife and providing scenic views of the Himalayan range and Kathmandu city. Therefore, we expect Chandragiri Hills can become one of the hot spot for tourists to observe both common and threatened wildlife species in Nepal.
La escritura académica: percepciones de estudiantes de Ciencias Humanas y Ciencias de la Ingeniería de una universidad chilena
Authors: Vine-Jara Ana Enriqueta
Published: August 2020

En este artículo se presenta un estudio cuantitativo de tipo transeccional exploratorio, cuyo objetivo principal es conocer la percepción de dos grupos de estudiantes de una universidad chilena sobre las distintas dimensiones de la escritura académica. El primero proviene de Ciencias Humanas (20 estudiantes de Traducción) y el segundo, de Ciencias de la Ingeniería (32 estudiantes de Ingenierías). Para ello, se diseñó y aplicó un cuestionario tipo Likert, basado en una escala para la identificación de problemáticas en la escritura académica y en planteamientos sobre la necesidad de considerar cinco dimensiones que abarcan el antes, el durante y el después de la escritura. Los resultados muestran que los alumnos de Ciencias de la Ingeniería perciben mayores dificultades para enfrentar la escritura. En las dimensiones de textualización y de revisión se observan diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre ambos grupos. Esto evidencia la necesidad de enseñar a escribir en la universidad en los distintos ámbitos especializados.
Content and Language Integrated Learning: In-Service Teachers’ Knowledge and Perceptions Before and After a Professional Development Program
Authors: McDougald Jermaine S. , Pissarello Daniel
Published: August 2020

This mixed-methods study investigated perceptions and knowledge about content and language integrated learning (CLIL) and bilingual education. Data were collected using surveys, questionnaires and semi-structured interviews from 26 content-based teachers in Valledupar, Colombia, before and after their participation in an online training program. Findings revealed that teamwork and administrative support are crucial factors for a successful CLIL implementation. However, results also showed that teachers knew very little about the CLIL approach, although they claimed to have been using it at their schools for 3-4 years before the study, suggesting that any previous in-service teacher training had not resulted in an adequate understanding of CLIL or bilingual education for the context.The teachers’ perceptions of CLIL and bilingualism were more positive after the training, and they reported understanding similarities and differences between both concepts. Hence, there is a need for more specialized training (material design, planning, communication, and assessment) to better prepare in-service teachers for bi-/multilingual learning environments, which in turn would provide teachers with much-needed tools for more effective delivery of CLIL-oriented solutions.
Construcción verbal en narraciones de estudiantes sordos, usuarios de la lengua de señas chilena
Authors: Otárola-Cornejo Fabiola Andrea , Pérez-Cuello Andrea , Ortiz-Navarrete Natalia , Álvarez-Cruz Martin
Published: August 2020

La investigación que se presenta en este artículo tuvo como objetivo la descripción de las formas verbales léxicas como recursos discursivo-gramaticales presentes en relatos de experiencia personal de usuarios de la lengua de señas chilena. Para ello, se utilizó una metodología predominantemente cualitativa, con recolección de datos en espacios ecológicamente válidos y un diseño de investigación transeccional descriptivo. El corpus lingüístico estuvo conformado por 42 textos narrativos, producidos por 14 estudiantes sordos, con diferentes años de inmersión en la lengua. Se identificaron 1052 formas verbales léxicas, donde las más frecuentes fueron las formas verbales plenas, y las menos frecuentes, las formas verbales espaciales. Los estudiantes con más años de experiencia lingüística utilizan más formas verbales, hecho que se potencia si además cursan niveles escolares mayores. Estos resultados sugieren que a mayor inmersión en la lengua de señas, mejor pudiera ser el desempeño psicolingüístico de los estudiantes sordos, con las implicancias sociales y educativas para el desarrollo de las personas sordas. Por otra parte, este estudio aporta en la descripción de la lengua de señas chilena y en proponer los primeros lineamientos para los estudios de la adquisición y el desarrollo de la misma. Además, contribuye en los procesos de formación tanto de las personas sordas como también de los docentes y profesionales que trabajan en el aula.
Estructura retórica de tesis y trabajos de grado en Odontología: un estudio en Hispanoamérica y España
Authors: Morales Oscar Alberto , Perdomo Bexi , Cassany Daniel , Izarra Élix
Published: August 2020

Los trabajos de grado y posgrado y las tesis de doctorado tienen un rol fundamental en la cultura académica, al diseminar resultados de investigación y fortalecer la comunicación científica. En estudios de Odontología hispanoamericana y española, se deben presentar para obtener el título de odontólogo,  dentista, máster o doctor. Debido a esto, existen propuestas para enseñar a escribir este género a esta comunidad. Generalmente, predominan instructivos y cursos prescriptivos que no se basan en evidencia científica de la cultura disciplinar. Desde el análisis del discurso, se han realizado numerosos estudios sobre el género “tesis” en distintas modalidades, disciplinas y lenguas, pero no hay publicaciones sobre tesisy trabajos de grado en Odontología en español. De aquí que, utilizando el modelo swalesiano de análisis de género, este estudio mixto analiza la estructura retórica de 272 trabajos de grado y tesis presentados en universidades hispanoamericanas y españolas, y publicados en la web entre 2000 y 2018. Los resultados muestran que no existe un formato estándar. Esto es, hay variaciones relevantes en las seccionesincluidas y en su organización. Estas variaciones podrían estar asociadas, entre otros factores, a la ausencia de programas de escritura académica que estén basados en la práctica real de la comunidad discursiva de Odontología. Por ello, se sugiere que en estos programas se formalice la enseñanza de la escritura académica basada en evidencia científica.
Cine de animación made in Spain: doblaje y subtitulación de elementos culturales
Authors: Fuentes-Luque Adrián , López-González Rebeca Cristina
Published: August 2020

Si bien los estudios de Traducción se han ocupado de la traducción del cine de animación de acuerdo con los distintos modos de traducción audiovisual (doblaje, subtitulación, etc.), dichos estudios se han centrado casi exclusivamente en las versiones traducidas desde el inglés. Hasta el momento, se ha estudiado poco la traducción al inglés de los elementos culturales contenidos en las películas de animación producidas en español. Este trabajo analiza el doblaje y el subtitulado de tres películas de animación producidas en España: Planet 51 (2009), Las aventuras de Tadeo Jones (2012) y Atrapa la bandera (2015), con el objetivo de conocer qué elementos culturales se han incluido en la versión original en español de cada una de estas producciones y cómo se han traducido en las versiones doblada y subtitulada al inglés. Para ello se desarrolló una metodología de trabajo que partió de la clasificación de los elementos culturales y de diversas estrategias de traducción utilizadas para el doblaje y subtitulado de contenido cultural. Se halló que la mitad de los elementos culturales recopilados exigen la intervención del traductor, y se clasifican en la categoría “medio” y en el subtipo “cinematográfico”. El cine es el elemento cultural de peso en el corpus.
El extranjero de Albert Camus traducido por Pablo Montoya: ¿una traducción para lectores latinoamericanos?
Authors: Weber Elodie
Published: August 2020

El presente estudio se inscribe en una investigación sobre la traducción literaria hoy en día en Colombia desde un punto de vista lingüístico y más particularmente léxico. Las traducciones de obras de la literatura universal en español peninsular que comenzaron a circular en América Latina a partir de los años sesenta generaban entre los lectores una sensación de extrañeza que puede atribuirse a ciertas variaciones diatópicas. Esto motivó varias iniciativas editoriales de retraducción de esas obras por traductores latinoamericanos. A fin de contrastar la diferencia entre las versiones peninsulares y las realizadas en Colombia, este artículo examina el caso de dos traducciones de la obra del escritor francés Albert Camus L'étranger (1942), una del docente y escritor colombiano Pablo Montoya, publicada en 2013, y la otra del poeta español José Ángel-Valente, aparecida en 2001. La comparación entre estas traducciones permite identificar diferencias, tanto morfosintácticas como lexicales, las cuales se intentan caracterizar desde un punto de vista diatópico, gracias a estudios especializados, al motor de búsqueda crea de la Real Academia y a una encuesta a informantes. Se concluye que la traducción de Montoya, aunque dirigida a un público colombiano, lleva pocas marcas diatópicas específicamente colombianas y, al contrario, se inscribe en el espacio y la cultura latinoamericanos, por lo que podría ser leída sin extrañeza por otros lectores de la región.

Rasgos de la economía moral en espacios indianos fronterizos. Los pobladores norteños de Nuevo Santander durante las incursiones indias, 1770-1789
Authors: Olvera Charles Fernando
Published: August 2020

Durante las incursiones indias que se registraron después de 1770, en la parte norte de la Colonia de Nuevo Santander, ubicada al noreste del virreinato de la Nueva España, se dictaron varias medidas para hacer frente a la situación y tratar a los indígenas. Esto generaría un clima de tensión entre las potestades y los pobladores de esa zona. Las características del lugar, la situación y las condiciones de las poblaciones y el choque de los intereses centrales con los locales, propiciaron el desarrollo de una economía moral, propia de estos espacios fronterizos, que alimentó un rechazo generalizado de aquellos habitantes ante tales imposiciones virreinales. Analizar las condiciones que la generó y develar sus rasgos, es la temática que aborda este artículo.
Corneal hydrops: diagnosis and treatment
Authors: Sitnik Galina V.
Published: August 2020

Acute corneal hydrops is a pathological condition which clinically presents by marked corneal edema developing due to a break in Descemets membrane.
Background. To analyze the results of diagnosis and treatment in patients with acute corneal hydrops.
Materials and methods. 42 patients (47 eyes) suffering from acute corneal hydrops were included in the study. This condition appeared on both eyes simultaneously or sequentially in 5 patients. Mean age was 28.7 10.1 years (from 19 to 54 years), 31 men, 11 women. In case of complications or inefficacy of medical therapy surgical procedures were performed: 10% gas (C3F8, SF6) injection into the anterior chamber, amniotic membrane transplantation, partial lamellar keratoplasty, DALK, PKP.
Results. Duration of corneal ectasia before acute hydrops occurrence was 12.6 4.6 years. Disease was not diagnosed before in 11.9%. Corneal thickness varied from 692 98 m in focal hydrops to 1200 220 m in total hydrops. Area of edema, height of Descemet detachment and gap between break margins were significantly above in cases of subtotal and total hydrops compared with focal and partial hydrops (2, p 0,001). Injection of 10% gas (C3F8, SF6) in the anterior chamber allowed to significantly accelerating the resolution of this condition in cases of subtotal and total hydrops.
Conclusion. Analysis of this case series showed the feasibility of a differentiated approach in the treatment of acute corneal hydrops depending on its severity.
Induced Seismicity in the Delaware Basin, West Texas, is Caused by Hydraulic Fracturing and Wastewater Disposal
Authors: Savvaidis Alexandros , Lomax Anthony , Breton Caroline
Published: August 2020

Most current seismicity in the southern U.S. midcontinent is related to oil and gas operations (O&G Ops). In Texas, although recorded earthquakes are of low-to-moderate magnitude, the rate of seismicity has been increasing since 2009. Because of the newly developed Texas Seismological Network, in most parts of Texas, recent seismicity is reported on a daily basis with a magnitude of completeness of ML 1.5. Also, funded research has allowed the collection of O&G Op information that can be associated with seismicity. Although in the Dallas–Fort Worth area, recent seismicity has been associated mostly with saltwater disposal (SWD), in the South Delaware Basin, West Texas, both hydraulic fracturing (HF) and SWD have been found to be causal factors. We have begun to establish an O&G Op database using four different sources—IHS, FracFocus, B3, and the Railroad Commission of Texas—with which we can associate recent seismicity to HF and SWD. Our approach is based on time and epicentral location of seismic events and time, location of HF, and SWD. Most seismicity occurs in areas of dense HF and SWD-well activity overlapping in time, making association of seismicity with a specific well type impossible. However, through examination of clustered seismicity in space and time, along with isolated clusters of spatiotemporal association between seismicity and O&G Ops, we are able to show that a causation between HF and seismicity may be favored over causation with SWD wells in areas of spatially isolated earthquake clusters (Toyah South, Reeves West, Jeff Davis Northeast, and Jeff Davis East). Causality between SWD and seismicity may be inferred for isolated cases in Reeves South and Grisham West.

The influence of cultural norms and practices on ELL teachers’ and students’ conceptions and enactment of feedback
Authors: Purwandari Junita , Dixon Helen , Hawke Eleanor
Published: August 2020

Using data generated from three teachers and 18 students in three senior English language learning (ELL) classrooms in Indonesia, we respond to calls for research that investigates the impact of societal rules or cultural norms that influence how people think and act about feedback and their place within the feedback process. Particular attention is paid to teachers’ understandings and enactment of oral feedback, and their students’ understandings of and responses to this feedback. Findings highlight the predominance of a traditional view regarding the feedback process and purpose despite Indonesian educational policy emphasising a student-centric approach to teaching and learning. Significantly, there was evidence to suggest interest in and movement towards a more contemporary view of feedback purpose and practice on the part of some students. Questioning the efficacy of existing practice in relation to enhancing and supporting their learning, these students were looking towards a more expansive role within the feedback process.
Intentionally supporting and extending young children’s learning about and through the visual arts: Suggestions and strategies for early childhood education teachers
Authors: Richards Rosemary D. , Terreni Lisa
Published: August 2020

The New Zealand early childhood curriculum, Te Whāriki, encourages teachers to intentionally implement learning experiences so children learn about and through the visual arts. Acknowledging the tensions between intentional teaching and play-based learning, teachers are urged to be neither hands-off nor very structured in designing visual arts learning experiences. In the absence of practical guidance on how this might be achieved, this article synthesises a range of national and international research on early childhood (EC) arts education. Suggestions are given around purposeful provision of visual arts resources and spaces, connecting children’s home and early childhood education (ECE) art experiences, collaborations between teachers and children, extending artistic vocabulary, utilising picture books and art exhibitions, encouraging reflections and discussions about children’s artworks, establishing appreciative audiences for children’s artworks, and teachers being truly present with children in their visual-art-making endeavours.

Published: August 2020

Cardiac complications are the most important cause of mortality and morbidity in Beta-Thalassemia Major (B-TM). The aim of our study was to determine the influence of Average Annual Mean Serum Ferritin (AAMSF) levels on cardiac function in patients suffering from B-TM. In this cross-sectional study, 50 patients of 5-15 years with B-TM were enrolled in the absence of clinical signs and symptoms of cardiac dysfunction. Left ventricular function was studied by using tissue Doppler image (TDI), pulse wave Doppler (PWD). AAMSF level was measured for 12 months. Patient groups were subdivided into two groups, group A with AAMSF level below 1000 ng/ml and group with B with AAMSF level above 1000 ng/ml. The Case group included 24(48%) males and 26(52%) females which were compared with 50 healthy subjects composed of 27(54%) males and 23 (46%) females (control group). The AAMSF Levels were 1054.60±687.95 ng/ml. By using PDW, in patients with AAMSF below 1000 ng/ml, The Parameters of the E, A, E/A E-DT had no significant difference with health groups (P=0.808, P=0.820, P=0.231 and P=0.061, respectively). No significant difference was revealed in parameters of E’, IVCT and ET in patients with AAMSF below 1000 ng/ml by using TDI in comparison to control (P=0.155, P=0.683, P=0.222, respectively).however, other TDI indexes including A’, E’/A’, IVRT, S,’ LVMPI, E/E’ had a significant difference with health group (P=0.014, P=0.041, P=0.045, P=0.002, P=0.021, and P=0.002, respectively). At patients with above AAMSF 1000 ng/mL, both PDW and TDI parameters had significant differences with the health group. There was no correlation among AAMSF levels and PWD or TDI indexes. The evidence from this study suggests that subclinical systolic and diastolic LV dysfunction has happened with AAMSF level above 1000 ng/ml, and according to our result, TDI is found more useful than PWD for subclinical cardiac evaluation.

Published: August 2020

Frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA), a form of lichen planopilaris (LPP), is primary cicatricial alopecia commonly affecting postmenopausal women. For the first time, we investigated the diagnosis of FFA and LPP in patients presenting with the chief complaint of facial papules and roughness. This cross-sectional was performed among 68 patients with facial papules. We described the epidemiology, comorbidities, clinical presentations, and the association between facial papules and LPP or FFA. All the patients were female with a mean age of 47.84 years. Scalp alopecia was observed in all the patients presenting with facial papules, of which 89.7% had FFA. Five patients were diagnosed with LPP without FFA. Most of the patients were premenopausal (73.5%), and 70.6% had grade I FFA. Concomitant cutaneous lichen planus involvement was observed more frequently than mucosal involvement. The most frequent comorbidities were hypothyroidism, dyslipidemia, and hypertension. History of alopecia areata was detected in 8.8% of the patients. Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) was present in 17 patients (25%). Facial papules are the silent and early signs of FFA and LPP.  Paying attention to these early signs along with metabolic disturbances can help with the early diagnosis of the disease, especially among premenopausal women.
The Efficacy of Silymarin and Vitamin E in Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A Clinical Trial
Authors: Akhondi-Meybodi Mohsen , Baghbanian Mahmoud , Namazi Abolfazl
Published: August 2020

Objective: Nowadays, lifestyle modification is the best treatment recommended to patients with the nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). The therapeutic effects of vitamin E and silybin on liver functions were documented. The present study was conducted to examine the effect of silymarin and vitamin E on patients with NAFLD.
Materials and Methods: From September 2014 to March 2015, clinical trial was conducted on 92 patients with NAFLD at 2 Shahid Sadoughi university clinical research centers. Sampling was based on convenient method. There were no randomization or blinding in this study, but two types of treatments were compared. The patients were divided in two groups of daily intake of vitamin E (400 IU) and Silymarin 280 mg for four months. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and liver ultrasonography were done at baseline and after four months.
Results: Eighty patients completed the course of treatment successfully .After 4 months, both groups had experienced a significant reduction in their serum ALT levels. The mean change in the ALT level from the baseline was -31.6 U/L in the silymarin group vs. -15.1 U/L in the vitamin E group (P-value= 0.07). Treatment with silymarin was more effective than vitamin E (P-value< 0.0001). The mean ALT level changed to normal was 55.0% (22 of 40 patients )in the silymarin group, while it was 45.0% (18 of 40 cases) in the vitamin E group (P-value= 0.04).
Conclusion: The treatment of NAFLD with silymarin appears to be significantly effective in biochemical improvement whereas treatment with vitamin E improves ultrasonographic parameters.
Artistic Reality in the Space of Digital Technologies: Towards the Problem of Art Criticism
Authors: Bukharova Ekaterina , Urozhenko Olga
Published: August 2020

The article is devoted to the comparison of two realities – the digital and the artistic. We demonstrate the principal difference in the mechanisms of their creation. Contemporary artistic practice and theory are undergoing changes to reflect cultural and technological transformations. Today, digital technologies are ubiquitous and widely used in documenting artworks, making them popular and widely available. Also, digital technologies that work with more subtle tools and materials become especially popular and open new horizons for art. However, the structure of digital technologies does not, and possibly never will, enable a living energy impulse of the artwork to become a part of the virtual world. The nature of digital reality is rooted not in the rhythmic but in algorithmic elements, thus putting limitations to what can be achieved through such methods. We discuss the role of a work of art as a biogeochemical factor and the role of digital technologies in deeper connection between viewers and artworks.
Keywords: artistic reality, digital reality, ”living matter”, computer graphics, theory of art.
The Photo Image of Artworks as an Instrument of Assessment and Attribution (the Case of Painting and Drawing by V. I. Shukhayev)
Authors: P. Yakovleva Elena
Published: August 2020

This article explores the use of photographic images of art pieces as a tool for assessment and attribution, focusing on Vasily Ivanovich Shukhayev’s (1887–1973) paintings and drawings. Shukhayev was a famous Russian and Soviet artist, who contributed to greatly to Russian art during the six decades of his artistic career. The artist’s works are kept in many state museums and private collections in Russia and abroad, and are also in high demand on the antiques market. Assessment and attribution of his works is, therefore, a pressing issue. Previously photographs of the pieces made at the exhibitions or during the plein-air paintings by the artist himself, as well as other photographic materials showing the artist with his works or their fragments were believed to be of low importance to the experts. The most important photos are those made within the artist’s lifetime or which belonged to the artist personally, especially if they contain inscriptions on the back. Such photos help to understand what the missing pieces look like, to confirm authorship and the creation dates, to find its variations and copies, to detect fake works, to show the artist’s working style and work stages and sometimes to prove that the artist painted the painting over (typical for V.I. Shukhayev). Altogether, creating a compilation of photographic images of works lost or distributed over the world helps shed light on the painter’s artistic career, a task particularly important for research, for museums and exhibitions, for educational work for monographs and catalogues development.
Keywords: photographic images, works of art, assessment, attribution, painting, drawing, V.I.Shukhayev
Modern Russian Literature: Between the Assessments of the Experts and the Requests of the Audience
Authors: Pavlova Aleksandra
Published: August 2020

This article describes some of the features of contemporary Russian literary processes. Contemporary Russian literature presents vast number of authors and works. The literary process is going on intensively, but it lacks is no distinct core, a certain vector. Also, there is a serious need to explore the differences between expert opinions in literary sphere (influential critics, literary awards) and the reading habits of the public. This article presents an attempt to compare two approaches to modern Russian literature: by the expert community, and by popularity at the market. To determine opinions of expert community, nominations and literary awards were chosen. To assess demand from the public, sales leaders and market ratings were explored. By comparing data on expert opinions and requests from a mass audience, we can identify two lines of assessment: the line of incoherence and the line of coherence. The results show complex intertwining between serious literature and mass market in modern Russian literary process.

Trends in Contemporary Decorative and Applied Art (Based on the Materials of the Ural Triennial of Decorative Arts)
Authors: Khramtsova Galina , Manerova Elizaveta
Published: August 2020

This article discusses the processes that are taking place in contemporary decorative art. We are using materials and experience of the All-Russian open exhibition II Ural Triennial of Decorative Art, which brings together both domestic artists and masters from the neighbouring countries. Analysing different sections of the triennial (textile, glass, stonecutting), we explore various artistic trends and their potential to, eventually, become established schools of decorative and applied arts. Increasing acceptance from the professional art institutions is also recommended and required, since in Russia decorative art is still excluded from the list of “fine arts”. The example of the Ural Triennial shows that contemporary decorative artists are engaged in active experimentation, combining traditional and new materials and techniques. The result is a promising glimpse into the future of decorative and applied arts.

Mythoecologization of Artistic Subjects and Themes in the Tapestries of Raushan Bazarbayeva
Authors: Mukanov Malik , Doszhanov Bauyrzhan , Suleimenov Muhammedzhan
Published: August 2020

Mytho-ecologization of tapestry subjects and themes in contemporary textile art is one of the most important trends in the future development of this art type. The masters of contemporary Kazakh tapestry imbue their works with the content that does not only depict one-dimensional beauty or ugliness of the environment but also transmit such meanings as the everlasting value, uniqueness, necessity, fragility and the vital need to reconsider human place in these circumstances. This paper provides an art historical analysis of the tapestries created by the famous Kazakh textile artist Raushan Bazarbayeva, whose work is characterized by the mythoecologization of compositional subjects, the poetic quality of her visual language and the veneration of beauty and promotion of a harmonious co-existence between humans and their environment. We demonstrate that the key to understand such works is to interpret them through the combined lens of rootedness in traditional past and sensitivity to current environmental challenges.

Background & Aim: Reproductive health services utilization is an important component of health services in preventing adolescents’ sexual and reproductive hedgies & take corrective measures. The main purpose of this study is to determine reproductive health services utilization status and associated factors among adolescents at public schools in Adama town Ethiopia.
Methods & Materials: Institution based cross-sectional study design was used with a total sample size of 367 adolescents in the schools. The sample size was proportionally allocated to grade nine, ten, eleven, and twelfth. The study subjects were selected by simple random sampling. A Standard pre-tested self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data after getting informed consent from the study participants. Data were entered and analysed using SPSS version 20 software. Descriptive statistics and Logistic regression were done to describe and identify factors associated with reproductive health services utilization. A P-value of less than 0.05 was considered to declare a level of significance.
Results: The magnitude of reproductive health service utilization in this was 122(34%). Discussion with a sexual partner and peer, student’s educational status, sex, knowledge about the availability of reproductive health service were among the factors associated with the use and non-use of RH service.
Conclusion: Utilization of Reproductive Health services among adolescents in the study area was low. Therefore, interventions such as advancing adolescents’ knowledge, encouraging open discussion forum, strengthening of youth centers, and school reproductive health clubs are important.

Published: August 2020

Aim: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) carries high morbidity and mortality risk. If the proinflammatory response phase of SAP cannot be controlled, it may result in multiorgan failure (MOF). Nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activation plays an important role in the development of MOF. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the healing effects of triptolide, an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agent in rats with SAP.Material and Methods: A total of 20 Wistar-Albino rats were divided into two groups as the SAP and triptolide treatment (TT) groups. SAP was induced by intraperitoneal injection of cerulean (50 mg/kg) in both groups. TT group was administered a single dose (0.2 mg/kg) triptolide 24 hour after the induction of SAP. Serum ALT, AST, GGT, Lipase, Glucose, ALP and amylase levels and pancreatic tissue samples were examined.Results: Serum glucose and amylase levels were found to be significantly lower in the TT group (p=0.011 and p=0.035, respectively). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of other biochemical parameters. Pancreatic edema, acinar cell degeneration, fat necrosis, intrapancreatic&perivascular inflammation, inflammation in the peripancreatic fat tissue were common histopathological findings in both groups. There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of histopathologic changes.Conclusion: Cerulein-induced pancreatitis is a successful method for experimental SAP. The healing effects of single-dose triptolide treatment are not evident in the early phase of SAP.

Skin infections are among the common diseases encountered in general surgery, dermatology and pediatrics outpatient clinics. Skin abscess occurs as a result of pus accumulation in the dermis or subcutaneous tissue; it is composed of swollen, red, tender, fluctuating mass and often accompanied by cellulite around them. The treatment is primarily antibiotic therapy according to the abscesses culture result after drainage with local anesthesia. Some of diseases such as diabetes, immunosuppressive conditions and cancer should be considered in adults, especially in recurrent abscesses. Skin metastasis in primary malignancies is very rare. Lung cancer is the most common one with skin metastasis. In this case report, we wanted to emphasize that the skin metastasis of primary malignancy should be kept in mind in cases with recurrent abscess which is resistant to treatment.

Botulinum toxin (BTX) is produced by autolysis of several strains of Clostridium botulinum, a gram-positive, spore-forming, rod-shaped, strictly anaerobic bacterium. However there are also non-clostridial microorganisms that are enable to produce the toxin. As some other beneficial poison, BTX also fits well the quotations by old scientists and philosophers like “Almost every substance can become a poison but only thing is the dose discriminating the difference” (Paracelsus, XVI century) or “Poisons can be employed as a means for the destruction of life or as agents for the treatment of the sick” (Claude Bernard, XIX century) or “Poison is a medicine, medicine is a poison” (Ahi Evran, XIII century). In the 1980's, Alan Scott first published articles on the use of BTX for the treatment of strabismus. The Food and Drug Administration of the USA (FDA) first approved botulinum toxin for the treatment of strabismus (crossed eye) blepharospasm (uncontrollable eye blinking) in 1989 and for glabellar rhytides in 2002, the first cosmetic indication. Since then BTX has been used for a verity of indications not only dermatological but also non-dermatological indications including on-labelled as well as off-labelled uses. In this review you will find the pharmacological profile of botulinum toxins, i.e., mode of action, pharmacokinetics, adverse effects, indications and contrindications, drug interactions, duration and site of action, etc. Furthermore, current commercial products and novel dosage forms as well as new perspective of BTX use will also be discussed.
ŞİTÂİYYE’NİN DESTAN TÜRÜNE YANSIMASI OLARAK AHMED KUDDÛSÎ DİVANI’NDA BİR KIŞ DESTANI

Kış mevsimi Klasik Türk şiirinde bahar kadar olmasa da en çok işlenen konulardandır. Özellikle teşbip bölümlerinde kış mevsiminin işlendiği kasidelere şitâiyye denilmektedir. Şairler zaman zaman kış mevsiminin zorlu şartlarından hareketle kalıplaşmış hayalî kış tasvirlerine müracaat etseler de bunlardan birçoğu gerçek yaşanan olayların ya kişinin iç âlemine yansıması ya da doğrudan tasviri niteliğindedir. Bu bölümlerde insanların kış karşısındaki acizliği, zayıflığı, çaresizliği dile getirilir. Bu yönüyle Klasik Türk şiiri aslında yaşadığımız gerçeklerin de tasvir edildiği bir sanat alanıdır.

Kış mevsiminin anlatılması sadece Klasik Türk şiirine mahsus değildir. Halk şairlerinin de mutasavvıf şairlerin de şiirlerinde zaman zaman bu konuları işledikleri görülmektedir. Bu durum bazen duyguların ifadesi için bir vesile olsa da, genellikle bir zaman tespiti ya da tarihî bir ana şahitlik etme manasını da taşımaktadır. Halk edebiyatında toplum zihninde önemli, derin, kalıcı izler bırakan olayların ele alındığı bu tarz şiirlere destan denilir. Malum olduğu üzere destanlar genellikle zaferden ziyade felaketleri ve bu felaketlerin getirdiği acıları, yoklukları, işkenceleri anlatır. Kendisi mutasavvıf bir şair olan Ahmed Kuddusî Hazretleri’nin Divanı’nda yer alan bir şiir de 1248/1833 kışının zorluklarını anlatmaktadır. Şair bu şiirinde yaşanan şiddetli kışın zorluklarını anlatırken tabiattaki değişiklikleri de tasvir eder. Bu tebliğde Divan’da 31. Numarada yer alan ve kış tasvirinin yapıldığı 6+5=11’li hece vezniyle yazılan bu şiiri klasik edebiyattaki şitâiyye nazım türünden hareketle incelemeye çalışılacaktır.

Bu çalışmada betimsel tarama yöntemi kullanılacaktır. Bu çalışmayla Klasik bir şair ile mutasavvıf bir şairin kış mevsimine bakışlarındaki farlılıkların ortaya çıkarılması amaçlanmaktadır.
Bebek ölümlerindeki MERNİS kayıtlarının tamlık yüzdesi: illerin insani gelişme düzeyi farklılığı açıklar mı?
Authors: YAYLA Zehra , ÇAVLİN Alanur

Amaç: Bebek ölüm hızı kalkınma düzeyine ilişkin önemli bir göstergedir. Güvenilir ve iyi işleyen bir ölüm kayıt sistemi hem ölüm göstergelerinin doğru hesaplanmasına hem de sağlık hizmetlerinin zamanında sunulmasına olanak sağlar. Türkiye’de MERNİS’te kayıtlı olan bebek ölümlerinin tamlık yüzdesi iller arasında farklılık göstermektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, illerin insani gelişmişlik endeksi (İGE) ile bebek ölümlerindeki tamlık seviyesi arasında bir ilişki olup olmadığını incelemektir. Yöntem: Betimleyici ve durum saptayıcı bir perspektifle tasarlanan bu çalışmada İGE ile bebek ölümleri kayıtlarının tamlığı arasındaki ilişkiyi analiz etmek için Pearson korelasyonu hesaplanmıştır. Daha sonra İGE- tamlık dağılım grafiği oluşturulmuş ve bu grafiği best-fit eden 20 il İGE-kayıtlılık bakımından incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Bulgular Türkiye’de 2014 yılı bebek ölümlerinin yüzde 76’sının MERNİS’te kayıtlı olduğunu göstermektedir. İGE ile bebek ölümlerindeki tamlık arasında anlamlı fakat düşük düzeyde korelasyon bulunmuştur. Ortadoğu Anadolu ve Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgelerin’deki iller hem İGE hem de bebek ölümlerinin tamlığı bakımından düşük düzeydedir. Sonuçlar İGE-tamlık değerlerinde bölge içi farklılıkların da bulunduğunu göstermektedir. Eskişehir, Mersin ve Kayseri illeri bulundukları bölgelerde İGE değerleri yüksek iller olmasına rağmen bebek ölümleri tamlık düzeyi oldukça düşüktür. En büyük üç metropol şehirlerine bakıldığında, İstanbul’un hem İGE (0.725) hem de tamlık seviyesinde (0.79) Türkiye geneline benzer bir durumda olduğu görülmektedir. Ankara ve İzmir her iki göstergede de Türkiye genelinin üstünde ve bulundukları bölgelerde en yüksek değerdelerdir. Sonuç: Bulgular insani gelişmişlik endeksi yüksek olan illerin MERNİS kayıtlarındaki tamlık yüzdesinin de yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu durum eğitim, gelir ve sağlık düzeyi yüksek bireylerin ve bu illerde bulunan ölüm kaydından sorumlu kurumların bebek ölüm kaydı konusunda daha bilinçli ve dikkatli olduğunu düşündürmektedir.

Like Brazil, Turkey spends about $1,200 percapita on health. In demographic terms, othersimilarities can be observed: the populationover 65 years old is close to 9.0% in bothcountries, away from the demographic trendof aging in Europe, where the OECD averagefor a set of 36 countries is 17.4%.However, the share of healthexpenditure in relation to GDP is different: inthe first 9.2% and in the second only 4.2%,although, this percentage in the case of Turkeyconsiders that most of the spending comesfrom public sources (about 80%), while inBrazil only 43%

Motivated by the #Metoo movement, we explore in this paper people’s perception of female bullying at workplace. We looked at #workplacebullying and found that 1) people were split between identifying the prevalence of workplace bullying against female and the view that such bullying simply does not exist and is a nuisance, 2) The tweets also showed the existence of psychological effects of cyberbullying, and 3) the tweets showed many intervention techniques that can minimize the effects of such bullying. We further explored the top three recurring hashtags mentioned under the #workplacebullying and found that the three top hashtags were #sexism, #feminism and #equality. Our results showed that the above hashtags represent the positive and negative approach to workplace bullying i.e. #feminism hashtag was mostly used by people who denied that workplace bullying against females exist while # sexism was mentioned as the prime cause by people who agree that such bullying exist. #equality overwhelmingly comprises of techniques to minimize workplace bullying against females.

Published: August 2020

Background:

Total knee arthroplasties (TKAs) with cementless fixation have been studied in multiple series with varying success. The aim of this study was to prepare a systematic review of the literature to evaluate clinical outcomes and revtpdelision rates of patients undergoing contemporary cementless TKA.

Methods:

A search of PubMed and MEDLINE was conducted for English-language articles published between 2005 and 2018 to identify studies examining survivorship and clinical outcomes of cementless TKAs. Studies that reported clinical and/or radiographic outcomes were included. Data collected included the number of TKAs, implant utilized, primary diagnosis, mean age and follow-up, implant survivorship, complications, revisions, and clinical outcome scores. All hybrid constructs and revision TKAs were excluded. Poisson regression analysis was used to determine the revision incidence rates per 1,000 person-years.

Results:

Forty-three studies with 10,447 TKAs met inclusion criteria, of which 8,187 were primary cementless TKAs. The mean follow-up was 7 years. The revision incidence per 1,000 person-years was 4.8 for all cementless designs. The complication rate for all cementless TKAs was 6%, with deep venous thrombosis being the most common complication. The mean postoperative Knee Society Score and Functional Score were 92 and 83, respectively.

Conclusions:

While newer-generation cementless designs have shown improved survivorship and clinical outcomes compared with earlier-generation cementless designs, the literature for cementless designs remains limited when compared with cemented designs. Further studies are needed to determine if cementless TKA can achieve the same benefits that have been realized with cementless total hip arthroplasty.
