Spectrophotometric and cloud point extraction methods to detect Quercetin Dihydrate in supplement formulations and urine samples
Authors: Abed Sadeem Subhi , Mohammed Mayasa Mansour
Published: December 2024

The accurate detection and quantification of quercetin dihydrate (QRC) are vital for quality control, pharmacokinetic studies, and bioavailability assessments in pharmaceutical and biological samples. This study aimed to develop and validate a cloud point extraction (CPE) method combined with spectrophotometry for the sensitive and environmentally friendly detection and quantification of QRC in pharmaceutical formulations and spiked urine samples.
Methods. The CPE method employed Triton X-114 as a non-ionic surfactant to extract QRC from samples. The extraction process was optimized by evaluating key parameters, including surfactant concentration, incubation temperature, extraction time, and centrifugation speed. Spectrophotometric analysis was conducted before and after extraction to assess the sensitivity and linearity of the method. The method was validated using spiked urine samples and pharmaceutical formulations of QRC, with recovery rates, limits of detection (LOD), and linearity evaluated to ensure accuracy and precision.
Results. The optimized CPE conditions included an incubation temperature of 65°C, a 5-minute extraction time, and centrifugation at 3500 rpm. The CPE method significantly improved the sensitivity of QRC detection, reducing the LOD from 0.0351 μg/mL (without CPE) to 0.0234 μg/mL (with CPE). The method exhibited excellent linearity (r² > 0.998) over a wide concentration range (1–12 μg/mL). High recovery rates (98.88% to 101.6%) and low relative standard deviations (RSD < 2%) were observed in pharmaceutical formulations and spiked urine samples, demonstrating the method’s accuracy and precision. The enrichment factor was 1.75, and the preconcentration factor was 4.6.
Conclusions. The proposed CPE method combined with spectrophotometry provides a simple, sensitive, and environmentally friendly approach for QRC analysis. It offers significant advantages over conventional methods, including reduced organic solvent use and waste generation, making it suitable for routine analysis in pharmaceutical quality control and pharmacokinetic studies. The method’s adaptability to complex matrices, such as urine, and its potential for broader applications, including the analysis of other polyphenolic compounds, were also demonstrated.

The Course of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Poland in Relation to the Level of Sustainable Development – Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression Analysis
Authors: Rząsa Krzysztof , Ciski Mateusz
Published: December 2024

Motives: This article explores the relation between the course of the COVID-19 pandemic and the level of Sustainable Development of Polish counties. First, the data was collected to describe the level of Sustainable Development in terms of Social, Environmental and Economical indicators. In the second step, using data regarding the number of COVID-19 cases and the number of deaths caused by the pandemic, a regression model was built using Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression (MGWR).
Aim: Authors decided to create a comprehensive model of the level of Sustainable Development. This approach made it possible to analyze the relations between the level of Sustainable Development and the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as provided an opportunity to address the individual components of the model.
Results: The values of the coefficient of determination of the regression model indicate a high and very high fit. The MGWR model also made it possible to develop maps of local R-Squared values. These maps, by exploring spatially varying relationships between variables, further allowed to identify local anomalies of the phenomenon.
Tumor-induced rotational vertebral artery occlusion in the upper cervical spine: illustrative case
Authors: Meier Tristan G. , Akinduro Oluwaseun O. , Torabi Radmehr , Gokaslan Ziya L.
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Rotational vertebral artery occlusion, or bow hunter’s syndrome (BHS), is a rare but clinically important cause of vertebrobasilar insufficiency. Extrinsic compression of the artery is usually caused by osteophytes, fibrous bands, or lateral disc herniation and typically occurs in the setting of anatomical variations, leading to dynamic compromise of the posterior circulation. Neoplastic causes of BHS are rare.

OBSERVATIONS

The authors present the case of a 72-year-old man with a left vertebral artery–dominant posterior circulation and isolated small right vertebral artery terminating in the posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA). He developed progressively worsening dynamic insufficiency of his right PICA circulation due to compression of the right vertebral artery at C2 from an intradural-extradural dumbbell-shaped lesion. This patient was successfully treated via surgical debulking of the lesion and cervical spine fixation and experienced no neurological deficits postoperatively.

LESSONS

This neoplastic change represents an exceedingly rare presentation for BHS, which warrants further study on its etiology and treatment.

Colloid cyst of the third ventricle: a rare case of spontaneous regression. Illustrative case
Authors: Todorovic Marko , Weidemeier Martin E. , Schroeder Henry W. S. , Baldauf Jörg
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Colloid cysts (CCs) are benign lesions commonly located in the third ventricle, near the foramen of Monro. They constitute about 0.5%–1% of all intracranial tumors. As benign lesions, CCs can be found incidentally, but they can also present with neurological deterioration and are even associated with sudden death, which might be explained as a result of obstructive hydrocephalus. Thus, larger and symptomatic CCs are often considered for surgery.

OBSERVATIONS

The following case presents a rare and curious instance of a spontaneously regressing CC. This represents the 11th case ever reported about an extremely rare occurrence: the spontaneous regression of a previously diagnosed CC in the third ventricle.

LESSONS

Carefully selected asymptomatic CCs can be monitored through regular imaging studies and neurological examinations. If regression of the cyst is observed, physicians should not be surprised, as this event, although rare, has been documented and published in 11 cases, including this one.

Pediatric glossopharyngeal neuralgia with incidental trigeminal compression treated using microvascular decompression: illustrative case
Authors: Barkyoumb David , Zhao Xiaochun , Bowen Ira , Best Benjamin J. , Desai Virendra R.
Published: December 2024

BACKGROUND

Glossopharyngeal neuralgia (GPN) is a rare condition typically manifesting as paroxysms of sharp, lancinating pain localized to the middle ear and auditory canal, base of the tongue, tonsillar fossa, and region just inferior to the angle of the mandible. Vascular compression is a common etiology, and microvascular decompression (MVD) has been established as a safe and efficacious treatment in adults. With the exception of one report of an adult patient undergoing the procedure for symptomatology that began in adolescence, there are no published cases of MVD for GPN in pediatric patients to the author’s knowledge.

OBSERVATIONS

Here, the authors report a case of GPN in a 5-year-old boy with a 7-month history of medically refractory headaches and progressively worsening paroxysms of stabbing, “shock-like” pain in his right ear. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated neurovascular compression of the right glossopharyngeal nerve. Following MVD, the patient experienced a near-complete resolution of symptoms and a dramatic improvement in quality of life.

LESSONS

GPN must be included in the differential diagnosis of all children presenting with head, neck, or pharyngeal pain and can be difficult to distinguish from Eagle’s syndrome. MVD represents a safe and efficacious treatment for pediatric patients with GPN due to neurovascular compression.

Published: December 2024

The article presents the structural features of plant communities in the zone of contamination of radionuclides, which affected by large-scale forest fires. The areas of the Exclusion Zone and the Drevlianskyi Nature Reserve (the guaranteed resettlement zone) that affected by forest fires were identified and the extent of their damage was investigated. Using Sentinel 2 satellite imagery data, as well as forest survey data,
categories and classes of vegetation were determined. Examples of thematic maps showing the degree of fire impact on coniferous, deciduous, mixed forest ecosystems and areas with mosaic vegetation cover provided. In the areas affected by the fire, the vegetation divided according to the degree of forest damage into the following categories: heavily burned forest (dead forest), burned with small areas of vegetative trees, fire in the tree litters: heavy fire, medium-, and light fire. The statistical indicators of NDVI and NBR for defined categories of fire in plant groups revisited. The use of joint analysis of remote sensing data and ground survey information increased the validity of diagnostic thematic maps of the structure and assessment of the state of vegetation cover. The classification of vegetation structure based on remote sensing data of the Earth used as a cartographic model of the state of forest plantations for different periods: before the fire and after the fire. The satellite imagery data showed that the areas affected by the fire have a very uneven and variegated pattern of vegetation damage. The type of stand influenced the intensity of the damage and area. In coniferous stands, favorable conditions created for the spread of fire in the ecosystem, due to the accumulation of a large mass of small fraction of dry plant components. In the case of a spring fire, birch forest ecosystems characterized by a rapid course of a low-level fire of medium and low impact. Analysis of satellite images after fires of this nature shows that in the deciduous forest ecosystem, trees often resume vegetation in the same year after the fire.

Published: December 2024

This study focuses on a bi-communal choir situated in Cyprus, whose members are made up of Greek and Turkish Cypriots. A holistic case study was conducted in order to evaluate the influence of the bi-communal choir on its regular members with respect to their (i) initial motives; (ii) viewpoints on social and cultural interactions; (iii) problems they might have faced after joining the choir and their (iv) opinions on the impact of the choir on conflict transformation. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with members from both communities, amounting to a total of 24 participants. The data obtained from the interviews were analyzed using content analysis method. Research findings show that the bi-communal choir may play a role in the name of peace in the island, by improving the communication and relationship between the two communities and by instilling a sense of coexistence and sharing of values by making music. Findings also show that peace is hindered not only by lack of political communication, but also by a lack of communication between ordinary people.

This research investigates the impact of intangible assets within the context of the financial performance of the sports clubs quoted on the stock market worldwide, focusing on the moderating effect of the audit status. Concerning financial performance, this study uses Tobin's Q. It assesses whether or not intangible assets that include brand equity, fan bases, control over players, and ownership of media rights are relevant for increasing the value of the market and the stability of the club. Reviewing a sample of 310 data of sports clubs covering a period of 2014 to 2023, the study introduces the audit status as a moderating variable, postulating that it is likely that high audit status will increase the validity of firm financial report information. The research results show a significant positive impact between intangible assets and firm financial performance. Besides, audit status moderated this relationship, whereby clubs with higher audit status achieved better financial performance due to raised audit integrity and investor prerequisite greater transparency. These findings emphasize the importance of intangible assets and audit status in improving the financial performance of the sports clubs and provide a better understanding of the management, the investors, and the auditors in the sports industry.

Yazma eğitimi genellikle örgün eğitim ile başladığı için yazma becerisi en son edinilen dil becerisi olarak görülmektedir. Üst düzey zihinsel becerileri, farklı boyut ve süreçleri barındırdığı için öğrenciler bu becerinin gelişiminde sorun yaşamaktadır. Ülkemize yerleşen yabancı uyruklu öğrencilere devlet okullarında eğitim alma hakkı tanındığı ve bu öğrenciler ana dil eğitimine dahil edildikleri için yabancı uyruklu öğrenciler birçok alanda olduğu gibi yazma becerisinde de ana dili Türkçe olan öğrencilere kıyasla daha fazla sorun yaşamaktadır. Çalışmada bu sorunu iyileştirmek amacıyla 6. sınıfta eğitim alan yabancı uyruklu öğrenciler ile ana dili Türkçe olan öğrencilerin mektup arkadaşı olması sağlanmış; “Mektup Arkadaşlığı” uygulaması kullanılarak akran eğitimi ve iş birlikli öğrenme yöntemlerine dayalı etkinlikler geliştirilmiş ve eğitim ortamı tasarımı yapılandırılmıştır. Yarı deneysel eylem araştırması ile desenlenen araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 6. sınıf düzeyindeki 8 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Veriler; Ortaokul Öğrencileri için Bilgilendirici Metin Dereceli Puanlama Anahtarı, öğrenci etkinlik dosyaları, araştırmacı günlükleri ve öğrenci görüşmeleri ile toplanmıştır. Nitel veriler içerik analizi ve betimsel analiz kullanılarak; nicel veriler SPSS 27 paket programı ve yüzdelik oran ile analiz edilmiştir. Yarı deneysel eylem araştırması ile “planlama hataları, biçimsel hatalar, anlam ve içerik, dil ve anlatım, yazım ve noktalama” boyutları açısından öğrencilerin yazma becerisinin iyileştiği ve geliştiği; en çok gelişen boyutun anlam ve içerik boyutu olduğu, ön test ve son test uygulama puanları arasında anlamlı ve olumlu yönde aynı zamanda güçlü bir ilişki bulunduğu için Mektup Arkadaşlığı uygulamasının yazma becerisini olumlu yönde geliştirdiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
KLASİK TÜRK ŞİİRİNİN SEÇKİN TİPLERİNDEN DÂNÂ
Authors: Çelik Recep
Published: December 2024

Tipler, klasik Türk şiirinin sosyolojik algı ve değerlendirmelerine dair olumsuz eleştirileri bertaraf eden somut örneklerdir. Zamanın sosyolojik faktörlerinin etkisiyle gelenekle harmanlanan klasik Türk şiirinin algısı metinlere yansımış, klişe özelliklere sahip bazı tipler ortaya çıkmıştır. Toplumsal yaşamın birer ürünü olan tipler, edebî metinlerde müellifin eserine imtisalen verilmek istenilen mesajı perçinlemek, dolaylı yoldan aktarmak ve bazen özetlemek için kullanılır. Aynı zamanda aktarılmak istenilen için bir somutlaştırma aracıdır. Klasik Türk şiirinin âşık, maşuk ve rakip gibi demirbaş tiplerinin yanı sıra dânâ benzeri ikincil müstakil tipleri vardır. Kelime anlamı olarak “bilen, bilici, bilgin, âlim” gibi anlamlara gelen dânâ, bu tipler içerisinde “müspet” olarak değerlendirilebilecek bir tiptir. Öte yandan dânâ, nâdân ve sofu gibi tipler, ait olduğu toplumun değer yargılarının bir ifadesi olarak da kullanılmıştır. Tip olarak “dânâ” nev’i şahsına münhasır özellikleri bünyesinde barındıran ekseriyetle hikmet eksenli metinlerde karşılaştığımız müstakil tiplerdendir. Klasik Türk şairleri, dânâyı hakiki bir âşığı ifade etmenin yanında bilgili ve olgun bir şahsiyeti resmetmek için kullanmışlardır. Dânâ tipi yapısal ve içsel özellikleri itibarıyla diğer insan tiplerinden farklı olarak bir anlamda birçok insanî zaaftan uzak bir tiptir. Dânâ, gelip geçiciliğinin farkında olduğu bu dünyanın dünyalıklarına bel bağlamaz, dolayısıyla maddiyata önem vermez. Çünkü sıradan insanların sahip olamadıklarına yani türlü sırlara vakıftır. Ancak bu noktada emin kişilerdendir; emanete sahip çıkar, bu sırları saklar. Fâni olanı bilir ve istemez, yani sonsuzluğun peşindedir. Yaradılışından gelen özellikle fâni, âciz ve muhtaç taraflarının farkındadır. Bu farkındalık beraberinde birçok hususa dair idrak sahibi oluşu getirir. Bu nedenle, dânâ kimliğinin zıttı ve ispatı olan nâdân ile bir çekişmeye girer. Fakat dânâ, insanlarla münakaşa etmenin anlamsızlığını bilir ve onlarla arasına mesafe koyar. Ancak bu durum kibir veya kendini beğenmişlik olarak değerlendirilmemelidir. Onun maddiyata değer vermemesi ve dünyasını bir matem yeri olarak görmesi, bazıları tarafından anlamsız bulunmuş ve bu tutumu, onun meczuplarla özdeşleştirilmesine sebep olmuştur. Bahsedilen bazı yüce nitelikleri nedeniyle, Allah lafzı yerine de kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada görüleceği üzere, sunulan örneklerin hemen hepsinde dânâ, olumlu vasıflarıyla karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Ayrıca, sosyolojik bağlamda tutum ve davranışlarıyla toplumun seçkinleri arasında yer alır. Kısaca dânâ, kendini gerçekleştirmiş insan modelidir. Çalışmada bu tip, başlangıçtan son döneme kadar klasik Türk şiirinden örneklerle tanıtılmaya çalışılacak ve değerlendirilmesi yapılmamış diğer tipler için kapı aralanmaya çalışılacaktır.

In the current era, the use of artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming widespread. However, there is limited research on how artificial intelligence can be utilized in preschool education both in our country and globally and how educators’ perceive it. This study aims to investigate preservice teachers’ perceptions of artificial intelligence and the meanings they attributed to it by preservice teachers who will be preschool educators in the near future. The study was designed as qualitative research. The participants of the study consisted of 107 preservice preschool teachers selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a semi-structured form that included prompts such as: “Artificial intelligence is like... because...” and “Artificial intelligence is... because..." They were asked to explain their views on AI in detail. As a result of data analysis, the preservice preschool teachers’ perceptions regarding artificial intelligence were grouped into ten categories. The metaphorical perceptions of AI included: human-like, assistant teacher, convenience, future essentials, complexity, innovation and change, double-sided meaning, dangerous, play and experience, and philosophy. Most of the participants stated that AI has human-like features, while the others focused on its functionality. Regarding the meaning attributed to AI, five categories emerged: features, effects, philosophy, usage of AI, and other. It was determined that pre-service teachers attributed the highest number of meanings to the functional, technical, human-like, dynamic, and human interaction features of artificial intelligence and the lowest number to the necessary, unnecessary, mandatory, and important meanings in the other category. The findings suggest that preservice preschool teachers perceive AI as a necessity of the modern age with the potential to shape the future of education. They also emphasize that need for cautious use to its dual impacts- both positive and negative. Thus, it should be used cautiously. While the participants expressed willingness to integrate AI into preschool education, they approached it with a critical perspective.
