Background: The mortality due to COVID-19 in low-income settings has been grossly underestimated. The gap in the estimated deaths as the cause of COVID-19 and observed deaths in Africa requires further investigation. Hence, we aimed to assess the socio- demographic characteristics, clinical and laboratory profiles of patients who died from COVID-19 at the treatment centers in the Oromia region, Ethiopia.Method: A retrospective chart review was conducted from all health facilities that reported more than ten COVID-19 deaths from April 2020 to November 2021 in Oromia. CSPro Data Entry and STATA version 14 were used for data entry and analysis, respectively.Result: Of the 594 COVID-19 deaths reported during the study period, 454 (76.4%) were captured in nine health facilities. Of the 454 participants, 288 (63.4%) were men and 192 (42.3%) were over 60 years. Cough and shortness of breath were the most prevalent symptoms. Cough and shortness of breath were the most prevalent symptoms. Upon presentation, 394 (97.28%) exhibited tachypnea, 78 (27.56%) had a fever, and 366 (84.92%) had oxygen saturation levels below 92%. At least one comorbidity was present in 60% of the individuals. The median length of stay in the facility before death was five days (IQR 2–8). Common laboratory tests include complete blood counts, renal function and liver function tests. In 35(15%) of cases, the estimated glomerular filtration rate was <30 ml/min/1.73 m2. Neutrophilia was in 83.9% of cases, lymphocytosis in 2.6% and elevated creatinine in 35%. Chest X-ray was the frequently used imaging modality with opacity was the most common finding. Antibiotics and steroids were administered primarily.Conclusion: Most of the cases had comorbidity and were older aged. However, a quarter of patients were less than 45 years and two-fifths of patients had no known comorbidity. Strengthening vaccine acceptance across all age groups has paramount importance in preventing the severity of disease and death.
Polski teatr w Czerniowcach 1863–1865
Authors: Kędziora Alicja
Published: November 2024

The article presents research results on the Polish theatre in Czerniowce in the years 1863–1865. The central part of the text is dedicated to the repertoire of the Polish stage in the discussed period, which was compiled on the basis of the German newspaper “Bukowina”. The starting point and, at the same time, reference point for the developed repertoire is the repertoire of Helena Modjeska’s performances in Czerniowce, prepared by Jerzy Got. The Polish Theatre in Czerniowce was an important cultural centre that shaped and cultivated the identity of the Bukovina’s Polish community in the second half of the 19th century. The institution in question was an organisational phenomenon – four permanent theatres were run simultaneously in one building – and a cultural one – each of them staged plays in a different language. It was a unique example of artistic cooperation for the benefit of multicultural audiences; mainly Polish, German, Romanian and Ukrainian.
Nostalgie Sienkiewicza. Perspektywa amerykańska
Authors: Bujnicki Tadeusz
Published: November 2024

Henryk Sienkiewicz’s trip to America (between 1876 and 1878) highlighted two aspects of his work then and his later oeuvre: “travomancy” and nostalgia. They were present in American reportages and novellas published after his return home (Za chlebem, Latarnik, Wspomnienie z Maripozy), which expressed various forms of these experiences (especially the longing for the lost country in exile).
„Ruch ten nie ma szans powodzenia”. Traugutt Franciszka Ziejki
Authors: Kuligowska-Korzeniewska Anna
Published: November 2024

The article is a commemoration of the 160th death anniversary of the head of the National Government, Romuald Traugutt (August 5, 1864). Although four dramas devoted to Traugutt were written before the war (in the years 1913–1933), they are surpassed in every aspect by the script of a television play entitled Traugutt, a work of great merit for Cracow and the Polish humanities by Prof. Franciszek Ziejka (recorded in May 1990 by the Polish Television Centre in Cracow as part of the series The Theatre of Fact). The title role was played by actor Jerzy Radziwiłowicz as he was accompanied by various artists from Cracow’s theatres (the Helena Modrzejewska Old Theatre and the Juliusz Słowacki Theatre). As Professor Ziejka deposited the text of Traugutt at the Jagiellonian Library with a clause of inaccessibility, I undertook efforts to convince the descendants of the author to make it available for research purposes. This attempt was successful, hence this article is a presentation of this play in the context of historical research on the January Uprising.
Obowiązki radcy prawnego w świetle nowych uprawnień rady nadzorczej w spółkach kapitałowych
Authors: Garnowski Konrad
Published: November 2024

The paper presents the scope of the duties of an attorney-at-law arising from the new rights of su- pervisory boards of companies to demand certain documents and information from persons co- operating based on acivil law contract. As aresult of the introduction of the provisions of Article219 §4, Article 300 §1 and Article 382 §1of the Polish Commercial Companies Code attorneys-at-law are now obliged to provide such documents and information, but these provi- sions raise certain doubts. In the author’s opinion, the new regulations grant the right to request those documents and information that fall only within the scope of the contract between the company and the attorney-at-law for their provision of legal services. If an attorney-at-law re- ceives arequest for documents or information about arelated company, they are entitled to refuse to provide such documents or information in certain cases. In addition, regulations regarding the deadline for the provision of documents and information should be treated as mandatorily binding, and therefore take precedence over contrary provisions of the contract between the legal advisor and the company.

Envisioning Archival Images with Artificial Intelligence
Authors: Bushey Jessica
Published: November 2024

The literature review explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing access to and management of photographic archives. As digital and analog photographs proliferate in archival institutions, traditional approaches to organizing and describing these materials are increasingly inadequate. The review highlights the potential of AI, particularly computer vision (CV), to address the challenges associated with processing large volumes of digital images. CV algorithms, such as object detection and image classification, can automate tasks like image metadata generation, offering archivists new tools for organizing collections more efficiently. However, the adoption of AI in archival practice raises important ethical concerns, particularly regarding biases inherent in AI training datasets and technologies like facial recognition. Through various case studies, the review demonstrates that interdisciplinary collaboration between archivists, AI specialists, and scholars is crucial to developing effective AIdriven solutions. Projects like CAMPI and the Finnish Wartime Photograph Archive illustrate the practical benefits of AI, while emphasizing the need for archivists to develop AI and visual literacy. This review serves as a foundational resource for archival scholars and practitioners interested in utilizing AI to improve access to photographic archives.
Quelques pistes pour l'étude des situations d'informatique débranchée
Authors: Duchene Eric , Parreau Aline
Published: November 2024

Computer science unplugged is a scientific popularization project initiated in the 1990s by a team of New Zealand researchers. It enables participants to discover the major concepts of computer science, without a computer, through physical activies or the use of physical material, and also to initiate them into the computer science research process. This device, which is currently widely considered by both mediators and teachers, requires an in-depth analysis as a tool for transmitting knowledge. This analysis is currently in its beginning. Through three examples of popularization situations in computer science unplugged, we propose lines of thought based on observations with the perspective of a more complete didactic analysis of these situations and their transposition into classrooms.

L'informatique débranchée est un dispositif de médiation scientifique introduit dans les années 1990 par une équipe de chercheurs néo-zélandais. Elle permet, sans ordinateur et via des mises en scène corporelles ou l'utilisation de matériel original, de faire découvrir aux participant.e.s les grands concepts de la science informatique, mais aussi de les initier à la démarche de recherche en informatique. Ce dispositif actuellement largement considéré à la fois par les médiateur.rice.s et les enseignant.e.s nécessite une analyse approfondie en tant qu'outil de transmission de savoir. Cette analyse n'en est actuellement qu'à ses balbutiements. A travers trois exemples de situation de médiation en informatique débranchée (SMID), nous proposons des pistes de réflexions issues d'observations sur le terrain en vue d'une analyse didactique des SMID plus complète et d'une transposition en classe.

Authors: Sözcü Ufuk , Dündar Erkan , Türker Abdullah
Published: November 2024

As of the beginning of 2024, BILSEM (Science and Art Centers) serves in 379 centers across Turkey, aiming to enhance the academic, artistic, and intellectual skills of gifted students. These institutions, formed by teachers, students, and administrators selected based on various criteria in different branches such as general knowledge, general ability, music, and art, aspire to nurture individuals who realize their potential. One of the subjects taught in line with these goals and objectives is geography. The opinions and thoughts of BILSEM geography teachers regarding the institution, along with the quality of geography teachers, will contribute to the evaluation of the institution's mission and vision. In this context, a case study method was employed in this study, aiming to examine the views of BILSEM geography teachers on aspects such as management, students, parents, curriculum, equipment status, and usage. The study involved 53 out of 64 geography teachers working in BILSEM centers across Turkey, and data were collected through a semi-structured interview form consisting of 7 questions. The findings, categorized into themes and codes through content analysis, are presented in tables with direct quotes. The majority of geography teachers expressed that the institution's administrators view geography as an important and necessary subject in BILSEM, students have a positive attitude towards participating in TUBITAK projects in the field of geography, being a BILSEM teacher contributes to their academic development, and most teachers engage in various scientific activities. According to the teachers, the lack of teaching materials is a significant challenge, and they often have to acquire them through their own means. However, the curriculum, content, assessment processes, and activities are deemed suitable for students. Additionally, half of the teachers noted that their students have a high interest in geography and positive attitudes. Based on these results, recommendations are presented for authorities and readers.

Authors: Bozkur Binaz , Gülgez Özlem , Güler Mustafa
Published: November 2024

This study aims to examine the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty and attachment styles and generalized anxiety and the predictive status of these variables for generalized anxiety. The research study group consists of 938 people (634 women, 304 men) over the age of 18. In the data analysis, the relationship of the variables with each other was examined with the Pearson Correlation Coefficient; predictive status was examined by Stepwise Multiple Linear Regression Analysis. The results of the correlation analysis revealed that there is a positive correlation between generalized anxiety, intolerance of uncertainty, and insecure attachment styles (anxious and avoidant attachment) and a negative correlation with secure attachment style. The predictive analysis results show that both intolerance of uncertainty and attachment styles are significant predictors of generalized anxiety disorder. These data obtained from a large study group reveal that intolerance of uncertainty and attachment styles are important variables associated with generalized anxiety disorder.
Problem-Oriented Environmental Understanding of Secondary School Students: A Mixed Method Research
Authors: Şahingöz Selçuk , Benli Özdemir Esra
Published: November 2024

This study investigates the perceptions, attitudes, and visual images of secondary school students towards the environment and environmental problems. The participants of the research consist of 150 students enrolled in a public secondary school in Ankara in the 2023-2024 academic year. In the study, a convergent parallel mixed method using qualitative and quantitative research methods was used to determine students' perceptions through data triangulation. Quantitative data were obtained using the "Attitude Scale Towards Environmental Issues", while qualitative data were obtained using open-ended questions, an environment word association test (WAT), and student drawings. Students first filled in the Attitude Scale towards Environmental Issues. Then, they answered the open-ended question about "environment", did the WAT, and supported their answers with drawings or visualizations. Quantitative data were analyzed using SPSS 28.0, and qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis. According to the findings, significant differences were found in students' attitudes towards environmental problems according to gender, class level, participation in environmental activities, and taking environmental courses. When the answers given by the students to the open-ended question were analyzed, the answers given to the open-ended question about the concept of "environment" were collected in 3 categories: Environmental elements, environment, and environmental problems. Students explained the idea of environment mostly with the concept of living things (n=128). Their answers to the WAT were collected in 4 categories: Environmental elements, environment, environmental problems, and sustainability. While the students associated the concept of environment with the words human (n=102) and home (n=98) the most, they associated it with the idea of waste (n=37) the least. Their drawings related to the concept of "environment" were categorized under 3 categories: Environmental elements, environment, and environmental problems. In the students' drawings, the drawings in which living and non-living beings are drawn together (n=115) and natural environment elements (n=102) draw the most attention.

Legal Review of the Effect of Technological Developments on Notary Services in Making Authentic Deeds
Authors: Manik Chelsya , E. Latumeten Pieter
Published: November 2024

Technological advancements have compelled notaries to enhance their legal services to meet the evolving demands of society, leading to the adoption of the cyber notary concept. Implementing cyber notaries is anticipated to improve notarial services by enabling electronic execution of notarial deeds, thereby providing greater legal certainty for both notaries and the public. This research aims to analyze the application of the cyber notary concept in Indonesia, assess the legal certainty it offers, and identify obstacles hindering its implementation. A normative juridical method was employed, focusing on the examination of legal literature and statutory regulations. The study reveals that while cyber notaries are acknowledged in Indonesian law, their practical implementation faces significant challenges due to unclear regulations and overlapping legislation. The absence of explicit legal provisions regarding the authority of notaries to execute deeds electronically leads to legal uncertainty. The findings underscore the necessity for comprehensive legal frameworks to resolve inhibiting factors and provide clear guidelines for the implementation of cyber notaries. Establishing explicit regulations would enhance notarial services and ensure security and legal certainty for both notaries and the public in the electronic execution of deeds.

A Study of Wyndham Lewis’s Hitler (1931) and The Hitler Cult (1939) in the Light of Literary Modernism and Politics
Authors: Gholami Mohsen
Published: November 2024

The present research delves into Wyndham Lewis’s political writings Hitler (1931) and The Hitler Cult (1939) through the critical viewpoint of Leon Surette to magnify modernism and its intersections with politics. Surette’s analytical approach stresses the ambivalent feelings and apparent contradictions in Lewis’s involvement with fascism, totalitarianism, and the broader political context of the interwar period (1918-1939). By examining these polemical and disputatious works through Surette’s lens, this research paper seeks to unravel how Lewis’s literary modernism wrestle with the political realities of his time, especially the peak and trough of Adolf Hitler and the allure of authoritarianism. In this fashion, Hitler (1931) portrays Lewis’s sophisticated mind and often contentious position, amalgamating modernist techniques with a problematic portrayal of Hitler as both a political figure and a modernist symbol. In contrast, The Hitler Cult (1939) manifests a marked change in Lewis’s perspective, moving from ambivalence to a more explicit conviction of the Nazi movement and the potential dangers of cult-like political extremism.  In the end, this paper argues that Hitler and The Hitler Cult provide a nuanced and often contradictory exploration of the intersection between literary modernism and politics.

GENETIC ASSESSMENT OF YIELD TRAITS AND HETEROSIS IN MAIZE TESTCROSSES UNDER DIFFERENT SOIL NITROGEN CONDITIONS
Authors: BANKOLE Folusho Anuoluwapo , ABODERIN Olawale Serifdeen
Published: November 2024

Yield trials demand significant time and resources, necessitating efficient data collection on parental lines to optimise breeding programs and reduce costs. This study assessed the correlation between parental traits and hybrid performance, consistency, and predictability of trait expression in F1 hybrids and the heterotic advantage of agronomic traits. A total of 82 parental lines (79 lines and 3 testers) and 237 testcrosses were evaluated alongside 3 standard checks under low- and optimum-soil nitrogen (N) conditions at the Institute for Agricultural Research experimental fields in Zaria and Mokwa during the 2019/20 and 2020/21 growing seasons. Significant genetic variability was observed among parental lines and testcrosses, offering strategic breeding opportunities. Grain yield reductions under low-N conditions (35–95% in inbreds and 1.3–89% in hybrids) highlighted the impact of N stress and the need for N tolerance in maize genotypes. Correlation analysis and repeatability results linked yield improvement in low-N tolerant maize hybrids to the selection of parental lines with superior performance in traits, such as grain yield, stay-green characteristics, and flowering traits. Parental lines P69 and P14, which showed high tolerance to low N and consistent high yields, were identified as valuable genetic resources. Among the hybrids, P65×T2, P66×T3, and P66×T2 stood out, with grain yields exceeding 6000 kg/ha, representing a 42% yield advantage over the best check. These hybrids also demonstrated a high heterotic advantage over their parents and standard checks, indicating their potential for adoption as commercial hybrids in Nigeria.
GESTÃO ESCOLAR E POLÍTICA DE RESOLUÇÃO DE CONFLITOS NA ESCOLA: A JUSTIÇA RESTAURATIVA EM QUESTÃO
Authors: UCHÔA DIAS GUEROLINY RUANY
Published: November 2024

O presente estudo analisa como a gestão escolar vem lidando com as situações de conflitos e violências, através das práticas restaurativas para resolução de conflitos. Para tal questionou-se quais são as possibilidades e os limites da justiça restaurativa na organização/gestão escolar. Tomou-se como fundamento o debate conceitual a respeito dos seguintes temas: conflitos e violências na escola, compreendendo o conflito enquanto negociação e reconhecimento dos valores do grupo social e violência como movimento instrumental, contrário à política, isto é, ao diálogo; A gestão escolar apresenta-se enquanto aporte para a construção da pesquisa. Realizou-se uma pesquisa de campo, com abordagem qualitativa, do tipo estudo de caso, em que foram coletados os dados por meio de observação do cotidiano e entrevistas semi-estruturadas aplicadas aos atores escolares. Utilizou-se a análise de conteúdo como base para obter os resultados, dos quais destacamos que a escola, por iniciativa da gestão, tem realizado ações afirmativas, através das práticas restaurativas, para lidar de forma alternativa com os conflitos. Observou-se como impasses para a efetivação das práticas restaurativas a acelerada dinâmica da escola, que limita o desenvolvimento de ações planejadas, pouca difusão na formação docente, resistência por parcela dos sujeitos, a cultura da escola em lidar de forma punitiva e a sobrecarga de trabalho da gestão. Dentre os avanços, os sujeitos relacionam a justiça restaurativa como fruto de uma postura democrática da gestão, o que reverbera na reconfiguração das relações interpessoais, bem como na criação de alternativas estruturais implantadas na escola.

As políticas públicas atribuídas aos adolescentes evidenciam as representações sociais destinadas a esses grupos ao longo da história. Este estudo teve como objetivo analisar a produção científica sobre os desafios e as perspectivas das políticas públicas de saúde para os adolescentes no Brasil. Trata-se de uma revisão de literatura realizada nas bases de dados Scientific Electronic Library Online e Google Scholar, utilizando a combinação dos descritores adolescente, política pública e saúde. Esta análise resultou em 16 artigos científicos, incluindo legislações, sem marco temporal definido. Pode-se identificar que as políticas de saúde para os adolescentes adquiriram maior destaque recentemente em virtude dos efeitos da pandemia de Covid-19 sobre esse público. A construção da adolescência passa por referência etária e biológica, além de relações entre gerações e concepções sociais. A exposição constante a variados agentes traz aos adolescentes o risco de desenvolverem comportamentos que afetam a saúde, o bem-estar integral e a competência social, como o crescimento da violência e o uso irracional de substâncias medicamentosas, com ou sem prescrição, endossando a deficiência assistencial na área da saúde. Assim, situar a adolescência como enfoque de política pública e produção científica demanda uma ótica integral, interprofissional e multisetorial, com reconhecimento desse público como sujeitos de direitos. Nota-se a necessidade de avaliação dos fatores históricos e sociais em torno da adolescência para o delineamento de estratégias e ações objetivando a promoção da saúde articulada intersetorialmente.
POLITICAS PÚBLICAS INTERNACIONAIS DE EJA

Published: November 2024

A pesquisa buscou realizar uma análise sobre a política Internacional de Educação de Jovens e Adultos, a partir da Agenda 2030 para o Desenvolvimento Sustentável da ONU elaborado em 2015; que teve a Unesco como organismo responsável no âmbito da educação. O outro documento analisado foi Marco de Ação de Marraquexe, produto final da Conferência Internacional de Educação de Adultos - Confintea VII realizada em 2022 no Marrocos. Para tanto, a pesquisa foi estruturada a partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa e utilizou revisão bibliográfica e a análise documental. O estudo demonstrou que a política internacional de Educação de Jovens e Adultos apresenta contradições, intenções de avanços, estagnações, propõe consensos, não aponta para ruptura do modo de produção capitalista, mas insiste em equacionar desigualdades, inerentes ao próprio capitalismo, que atravessam os sujeitos por ela atendidos. Ainda assim, entendemos serem as Confinteas espaços políticos fundamentais para avançarmos na efetivação da Educação de Jovens e Adultos como direito de todas e todos.

Published: November 2024

O programa de maior destaque da rede pública de educação alagoana é o Programa Escola 10, instituído como política pública permanente em educação, o qual estabelece diretrizes para a garantia de direitos de aprendizagem dos estudantes da educação básica do estado. O programa Escola 10 é um aglomerado de programas dentre eles, destaca-se o Programa Professor Mentor, que visa desenvolver o pensamento crítico, através da pesquisa científica bem como combater a evasão escolar. Nessa esteira, para nortear a produção intelectual e concreta dos educandos, o programa professor, na edição de 2024, tem lançado sobre as equipes de mentores alocadas nas escolas da rede estadual alagoana, temáticas gerais que devem ser trabalhadas de maneira autônoma e protagonista por cada célula de trabalho. Assim sendo, no escopo das atividades do programa professor mentor, durante os meses de abril e maio do ano de 2024, fora instituído o tema sustentabilidade, como referencial temático das atividades realizadas no programa. O presente artigo compartilha a sequência didática (DOLZ, NOVERRAZ, SCHNEUWLY, 2004), a qual organizou as práticas realizadas por as autoras, em uma turma da segunda série do ensino médio, na Escola Estadual José Victorino da Rocha, localizada na zona rural de Palmeira dos Índios-Alagoas, por um período de 8 aulas, referentes aos componentes curriculares de cidadania digital e projeto de vida (pró-turma). A sequência didática proposta permitiu a discussão transversal sobre Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentável (ODS) da agenda 2030 (ONU), concretizada nos produtos desenvolvidos pelos alunos suscitando neles uma visão interdisciplinar da temática, sobretudo uma associação com o cotidiano deles.

Authors: ALEXANDRE DOS SANTOS BEZERRA ALCICLEIDE
Published: November 2024

Este estudo visa analisar a influência do Plano Nacional de Educação (PNE) e da Base Nacional Comum Curricular (BNCC) na administração escolar no Brasil. A justificativa para a pesquisa reside na importância crescente destes documentos como norteadores das políticas educacionais e sua consequente influência sobre as práticas de gestão nas escolas, impactando diretamente na qualidade do ensino e na formação dos estudantes. A metodologia utilizada será a revisão bibliográfica, a partir da análise de artigos, livros e documentos oficiais que abordam o PNE, a BNCC e a administração escolar. Este método permite uma compreensão aprofundada das diretrizes e estratégias propostas pelos documentos, bem como a sua implementação e impacto nas escolas. O referencial teórico fundamenta-se em autores como Libâneo (2004), que discute a gestão democrática e a importância da participação da comunidade escolar nas decisões, e Luck (2009), que aborda a gestão escolar voltada para resultados e a implementação de políticas públicas. A análise também se apoia em estudos sobre o impacto das políticas educacionais no cotidiano escolar, como os de Saviani (2008) e Gadotti (2000). Os resultados obtidos indicam que tanto o PNE quanto a BNCC exercem uma influência significativa na administração escolar, direcionando as práticas de gestão para o cumprimento das metas educacionais e a garantia de um currículo comum a todas as escolas do país. No entanto, também foram identificados desafios na implementação dessas diretrizes, como a falta de recursos e de formação adequada para os gestores escolares, o que pode comprometer a eficácia das políticas.

Authors: Chao Chao Kuok Wa
Published: November 2024

OBJETIVO: documentar las motivaciones y las percepciones del estudiantado del chino como LE sobre la presencialidad y la virtualidad. MÉTODO: se trata de una investigación de tipo cualitativo-exploratorio. Se realizó el estudio en Costa Rica con una muestra de 56 estudiantes en el 2023. Se utilizó un cuestionario para recolectar la información. RESULTADOS: se encontraron que los estudiantes que estudian este idioma buscan sobre todo poder comunicarse en esa lengua, conocer mejor la cultura y comunicarse con personas de origen chino. Además, se identificó que la percepción del estudiantado sobre la virtualidad era la desaparición de las barreras temporales y espaciales, la comodidad de recibir clases en casa, el ahorro de dinero en desplazamiento, entre otros. En cambio, con respecto a la presencialidad, las razones fueron la importancia del lenguaje no verbal, la interacción entre estudiantes o estudiantes y docentes, la comunicación directa, la corrección inmediata, entre otros. CONCLUSIÓN: el estudiantado en chino como lengua extranjera tiene motivaciones tanto extrínsecas como intrínsecas. Además, esta población estudiantil escoge la modalidad de estudio que se adapta mejor a sus condiciones financieras, socioafectivas, personales, pedagógicas o técnicas.

Authors: Şencan Derya , Organ İbrahim
Published: November 2024

Kişiler ekonomik, sosyal, psikolojik, hukuki ve idari nedenlerle vergi ihlalinde bulunabilmektedir. Devlet, vergi güvenliğini sağlayabilmek adına, kişilerin vergilendirmeye ilişkin kuralları ihlal etmeye yönelik davranışlarını engellemek durumundadır. Bunun gerçekleştirilmesi bakımından bir dizi yaptırım öngörülmektedir. Her ülkenin kendi hukuk sisteminde vergilendirmeye ilişkin kuralların ihlal edilmesi halinde uygulanmak üzere, ihlalin niteliğine göre idari ve adli yaptırımlar yer almaktadır. Daha hafif nitelikteki vergi ihlalleri idari yaptırıma tabi tutulmaktadır. Sahtecilik veya vergi kaçırma gibi kamu düzenini bozucu nitelikteki ihlaller ise vergi suçu olarak kabul edilmekte ve adli yaptırımlara tabi tutulmaktadır. Ancak bir eylemin vergi suçu olup olmadığı ve bu suçun cezası, her ülkenin kendine özgü ekonomik, siyasi ve hukuki yapısına bağlı olarak farklılık göstermektedir. Bu çalışmada, Türkiye ve Hindistan’daki vergi suçları ve cezaları yasal düzenlemeler çerçevesinde incelenmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, iki ülkenin hukuk sisteminde vergi suçlarının fiilleri ve yaptırımları arasında farklar ve benzerlikler tespit edilmiştir. Türkiye’de vergiye ilişkin temel suç tipinin kaçakçılık suçu olmasına karşın Hindistan’da vergi suçlarının sayıca fazla olduğu saptanmıştır. Hindistan’da Türkiye’den farklı olarak vergi kaçakçılığı suçunda kaçırılan vergi miktarına göre farklı sürelerde hapis cezası öngörüldüğü tespit edilmiştir.
Can a Bayesian approach clarify if corticosteroids are beneficial for severe community-acquired pneumonia?
Authors: Loo Wesley Teck Wee , Tang Kendra Jing Ying , Chew Si Yuan
Published: November 2024

Despite advances in the antimicrobial treatment of sepsis and organ support in the intensive care unit (ICU), community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a leading cause of mortality and disability-adjusted life years lost globally.1 Severe CAP, where CAP becomes complicated by acute hypoxaemic respiratory failure or shock, is also the most common cause of sepsis, where complex and heterogeneous biological mechanisms underlie a dysregulated inflammatory host response that ultimately leads to major organ dysfunction and death. Along with the emerging threats of respiratory pandemics, antimicrobial resistance, ageing populations and the rise of chronic diseases, much research has been conducted to improve the treatment outcomes of CAP via host immunomodulation. These efforts have focused almost exclusively on anti-inflammatory effects of corticosteroids, which have a proven track record of improving outcomes in other forms of sepsis, such as bacterial meningitis, Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and severe COVID-19.
