Acrylates are esters of acrylic acid formed by the reaction of acrylic acid with alcohols. These acrylic esters were produced by polymerization of combination with different acrylic monomers to produce the materials with enhanced characteristics for coating applications. The acrylate-based polymers were prepared by varying the nature and ratios of the monomers. Moreover, the properties of the polymeric materials were further improved by compositing with the nano-fillers i.e. carbon nanotubes. Further, the materials were coated on different surfaces to evaluate the coating characteristics by standard analytical procedures. Composition and morphology of the materials were characterized by different spectroscopic techniques. Polyacrylate based polymers were synthesized by step growth polymerization using different types of monomers moieties (5 different types of acrylic monomer along with one functional monomer and an aromatic monomers) to enhance coating properties and to enhance dispersion of carbon nanotubes. Characterization was done by FTIR (Fourier Transform Infra-Red) and UV-Vis spectroscopy. Study of polymeric coating was done on different surfaces by different techniques like Barcol Hardness, Gloss Test, Salt Spray Test, Cross Hatch Test and Mandrel Dent Measurement as given in standard ASTM methods. The results revealed better adhesion, crack resistance, and abrasion resistance. The graphical abstract is given below as Fig-1.
Analisis Pemanfaatan Media Sosial Sebagai Sarana Sosialisasi Pancasila
Authors: Siregar Hotrun
Published: April 2022

Tulisan ini membahas bagaimana BPIP melakukan pemanfaatan media sosial sebagai sarana sosialisasi Pancasila. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data primer berupa observasi langsung terhadap media sosial milik BPIP. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa BPIP belum maksimal dalam melakukan optimalisasi pemanfaatan berbagai platform media sosial. Hal lebih disebabkan oleh manajemen pengelolaan berbagai platform media sosial tampaknya kurang terkoordinasi antara unit pengelola dengan penanggungjawab konten atau materi yang ada dalam upaya sosialisasi dan pembinaan ideologi Pancasila. Lemahnya tatakelola antar unit menyebabkan pemanfaatan platform media sosial sebagai sarana sosialisasi Pancasila kurang memantik pengikutnya untuk berinteraksi dan berpartisipasi secara dialogis dalam akun media sosialnya, dan jangkauan media sosial BPIP tampak belum menyebar secara luas.
Tulû’î’nin Paşaname’si ya da Karadeniz’de Bir Deniz Cenginin Anlatımı (1629)
Authors: CEVRİOGLU Mahmut Halef
Published: April 2022

Karadeniz seferleri, Osmanlı Yeniçağ denizciliğinin Akdeniz’e kıyasla daha az çalışılan bir vechesi olagelmiştir. Halbuki on yedinci yüzyılın az sayıdaki gazanamelerinden en az ikisinde Karadeniz seferlerine dair malumata erişmek mümkündür. Bunlardan biri olan şair Tulû’î’nin Paşaname isimli gazanamesinin son bölümünde, dönemin vezirlerinden Kenan Paşa’nın Karadeniz’de Kazaklara karşı 1629 yılında gerçekleştirdiği deniz seferi anlatılmaktadır. Çalışma kapsamında eserin bu son bölümünün işaret ettiği deniz seferi, maliye kayıtları ve elçi raporları gibi dönemin sair kaynaklarıyla kıyaslanarak ele alınmaktadır. Osmanlı yönetimi işaret edilen yılda önce Karadeniz’e kısıtlı sayıda gemiyle donanma göndermiş, ardından donanmanın büyük kısmı Akdeniz’e açılmıştır. Ancak Karadeniz’deki gemiler Kazaklara karşı beklenen performansını sergileyemeyince İstanbul’a geri dönmüşler, bu sefer başlarına Vezir Kenan Paşa komutan tayin edilerek donanma bir kez daha Karadeniz’e yollanmıştır. Kenan Paşa’nın komuta ettiği bu ikinci sefer, Paşaname’nin de gösterdiği üzere başarılı olmuştur. Çalışma, Osmanlı donanmasının on yedinci yüzyılda kronik olarak karşılaştığı Akdeniz ve Karadeniz arasındaki bölünmüşlüğe dikkat çekilmektedir. Bu bölünmüşlüğün sebebiyet verdiği lojistik sıkıntı Karadeniz donanmasını başarısızlığa sevk etmektedir.
The effectiveness of government measures in the first wave of Covid-19 pandemic
Authors: Jasova Emilie , Kaderabkova Bozena
Published: April 2022

The aim of the article is to use empirical analysis to confirm the applicability of NAIRU and NARRU concepts to evaluate the adequacy of measures against Covid 19. While higher NAIRU than NARRU throughout the coronavirus pandemic period confirmed the achievement of an epidemic-economic balance in the labor market at the cost of spreading the epidemic, a lower positive unemployment gap in the NAIRU concept indicated a milder recession than the epidemic in society would require. The Czech government should have either introduced a stricter lockdown or should have provided enough respirators, tests, and vaccines. The application of the NAIRU concept also confirms its suitability for use in economic and political practice in an unstable period.
Study of Intertemporal Discounting According to Income Group, Savings, and Loans
Authors: Rotschedl Jiri
Published: April 2022

The paper deals with the issue of intertemporal discounting from the perspective of income groups, savings, financial reserves, and loans. The study included a total of 599 individuals with an average age of 38.3 years (min. 16 and max. 82 years) who answered classical questions focused on time discounting and impulsive behaviour. In total, four possible scenarios were analysed: a small reward (CZK 100) with a delay of 1 day, a small reward with a delay of 1 month, a large reward (CZK 100,000) with a delay of 1 day and a large reward with a delay of 1 month. The delayed reward was always increased by 10% (i.e., CZK 110 or CZK 110,000). Using the three hypotheses, the analyses confirm that individuals with extremely low incomes have savings only in 26.4% of the cases, while individuals with the highest incomes have savings in 92.2% of the cases (p=0.0000). Furthermore, it was revealed that individuals with savings are approximately 1.7 times more likely to have higher patience than individuals without savings. Individuals with a financial reserve are approximately 1.9 times more likely to have higher patience than individuals without a reserve. Finally, individuals with no debt are 1.6 times more likely to have higher patience than individuals with debt. The paper also complements the conclusions with three reserve bands of subjective discount rates for the examined groups of individuals. The results have implications for the financial management of individuals and thus for defining the risk of poverty.
Application of DSTI and DTI macroprudential policy limits to the mortgage market in the Czech Republic for the year 2022
Authors: Venhoda Ondřej
Published: April 2022

This paper deals with selected instruments of macroprudential policy, the determinant of which
is the amount of the monthly net income of the mortgage applicant. In November 2021, Czech
National Bank reintroduced maximum DSTI as debt service indicators and DTI as income
indicators with the view to the progress of real estate market in the Czech Republic. The paper
discusses which of the limits will be more decisive for mortgage applicants in the conditions of
rising mortgage interest rates in 2022 after the repeated increase in the base rate by the Czech
National Bank. We will find out for which interest rate the DSTI or DTI is more important and
which of the limits will be entirely irrelevant for almost all mortgage applicants in 2022, even
with regard to age according to the legal conditions.
Macroeconomic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic in the period of 2020-2021
Authors: Zubíková Adéla , Smolák Pavel
Published: April 2022

This article provides a comprehensive summary of selected macroeconomic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in the Czech Republic, including an assessment of certain implemented fiscal and monetary policies, using data from 2019 (to compare the development of the economic situation during the COVID-19 pandemic with the period before the onset of the pandemic), 2020 and 2021 on a monthly or quarterly basis. Particular attention is paid to monetary policy effects, which, unlike fiscal policy, the Mundell-Fleming model considers effective in a small open economy with a freely floating exchange rate. The article also investigates the volume of fiscal measures taken to mitigate COVID-19 pandemic effects, the restrictive measures introduced to Czech households and firms as well as labour market developments during the period of 2019-2021, including quantification of the aggregate labour productivity index. The conclusions of the article are that, during the COVID-19 pandemic, macroeconomic indicators in the Czech Republic acted in accordance with the established partial hypotheses of the Mundell-Fleming model and in accordance with the hypothesis of the modified Phillips curve. Possible causes of the significant increase in inflation since September 2021 include 2020 nominal public and private sector salary growth, which showed faster growth than aggregate labour productivity, and the highly expansionary fiscal policy that characterized the 2021 pre-election period.
A model for Enhancing Academic Staff Promotion System in Vocational and Technical Education: College of Technological Studies, As A Case Kuwait
Authors: Alali Salah
Published: April 2022

Vocational and technical colleges and schools is a type of education which place students on apprenticeship system. It is through which students can spend certain time in industry premises to gain the necessary skills and attitudes mostly required by industries. Vocational and technical education is completely different from a formal education that is taught in classrooms. Developing countries (e.g., Kuwait, Oman, Qatar), has realized the importance of vocational and technical education in vital sectors of the economy (e.g., oil, electricity and water, construction), where expatriates are the dominate workforce and the need to reduce dependence on expatriates is one of high governments manpower strategy. In Kuwait, the government has absorbed the need to reduce dependence on expatriates and thus established the College of Technological Studies, CTS, to respond to the urgent need of skilled and semi-skilled indigenous workforce. Thus, the management of the College of Technological Studies has to apricate and value the significant role of the College of Technological Studies in meeting government workforce objectives. This can be accomplished by ensuring that academic staff has the necessary skills to prepare students to meet industrial needs and ambitious. The academic staff promotion system must be one of the CTS management priorities. The constant review and update the academic staff promotion system is crucial to maintain high standard of vocational and technical graduates. A model is introduced in this research for academic staff promotion system that enable the CTS management to review and assess the quality of the CTS academic staff competencies and their ability in meeting industrial requirements. The new model for academic staff promotion system would overcome and/or reduce the deficiencies of the current academic staff promotion system. The new model would encompass more realistic and efficient criteria’s for assessing the performance of vocational and technical academic staff and introduce a proper work methodology and procedure for minimizing the percentage of errors while promoting a candidate to a higher academic status.
Saucerization and suture of symptomatic bilateral medial discoid meniscus in a 13 years old male football player: a case report and literature review
Authors: Iorio Raffaele , Viglietta Edoardo , Mazza Daniele , Redler Andrea , Pagnotta Susanna Maria , Ferretti Andrea
Published: April 2022

Introduction

Medial discoid meniscus is estimated to occur in 0.06% to 0.3% of the population, being bilateral medial discoid menisci. The current tendency to be very conservative in treating meniscal lesions should be applied to the discoid meniscus, too, so that the cauterization and suture of a torn discoid meniscus are gaining support.

Case presentation

We present the case of a 13-years-old Caucasian male competitive football player with a diagnosis of bilateral medial discoid menisci. Arthroscopy of the left symptomatic knee found an incomplete medial discoid meniscus, with an atypical hypertrophic posterior horn and root with a lack of rear tibial attachments. Saucerization to obtain a standard semilunar shape plus outside-in sutures to repair the horizontal tear and stabilize the meniscus’s peripheral rim was performed. The asymptomatic right knee was treated conservatively. After seven months, complete resolution of the symptoms in the left knee and no worsening of symptoms in the right knee was reported.

Conclusion

Bilateral discoid medial meniscus is a rare abnormality involving active young patients. The conservative treatment is the preferred option in asymptomatic patients. Sauceriziation and eventual repair represent the suggested surgical treatment in symptomatic cases.

Authors: Perna Andrea , Mancino Fabio , Campana Vincenzo , Satta Paolo , Marcialis Valentina , Glorioso Davide , Monterossi Martina , Proietti Luca , De Santis Vincenzo
Published: April 2022

Background

Starting in January 2020, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic caused changes in the nation’s health systems. The hospital’s reorganization led to a near-total stop of non-urgent, elective surgeries across all specialties, including hip and knee arthroplasty. However, in May 2020, a gradual elective surgery restarting was possible. Considering the risk of COVID-19 infections, the European Knee Associates suggest the need to implement specific protocols for a safe return to orthopaedic elective surgery.

Methods

A retrospective analysis regarding all patients who underwent primary knee arthroplasty (TKA) between March 1st and October 1st, 2020 using an institutional database was performed. The study time was divided into 2 periods: Pandemic (from March 2020 to May 2020), Post Pandemic (from June 2020 to October 2020). A specific protocol was designed to safeguard the health of patients and healthcare workers during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic.

Results

A total of 147 patients underwent total knee replacement surgery in the analyzed period. The mean surgical time was 77.6 (+/-18.9). The intraoperative mean blood loss was 54 (+/-28) ml. The mean hospital stay was 3-4 days. Among the treated patients no case of COVID-19 infection was observed.

Conclusion

The use of our protocol, developed ad hoc for the management of elective orthopedic patients, allowed the restart of elective orthopedic surgery in a safe and reproducible way with an average increase of 374% on surgical activity between the pandemic and post-pandemic periods without record cases of contagion among the treated patients
Congenital and Bilateral Dislocation of the Knee: Case Report and Review of Literature
Authors: Palco Michelangelo , Rizzo Paolo , Sanzarello Ilaria , Nanni Matteo , Leonetti Danilo
Published: April 2022

Background

Congenital and bilateral dislocation of the knee is an uncommon disorder; it may be isolated or combined with other congenital muscoloskeletal disorders, associated with neurologic disorders or occur in syndromic conditions. The knee presents a typical pathologic hyperextension, with or without joint dislocation. If untreated, the knee may develop stiffness or instability.

Case Summary

We report about a new-born baby girl presented at birth with an unusual position of both lower limbs with obvious hyperextended knees. Starting from the first hours of life, this baby was treated conservatively with reduction and serial cast immobilizations of the limbs. At the end of the treatment (21 days of life), the knees appeared completely corrected with physiologic active and passive range of motion and joint stability, and they were left free.

Conclusion

A correct evaluation at birth, both of the newborn and the deformity, is mandatory in order to decide the proper treatment, that could be conservative or surgical. A prompt treatment can be very effective to completely resolve the problem.

Published: April 2022

La révolution industrielle 4.0 a connu d’importants succès en production discrète (objets…), en retardant la personnalisation dans des unités de production ou d’assemblage. La production continue (granules, liquides…) est l’oubliée de cette révolution, en raison d’une organisation productive en séquence de lots qui rend difficile la production efficiente d’une grande variété de produits. En réponse à ce défi, une nouvelle approche de conception et de fabrication de produits, appelée Reverse Blending et détaillée dans un article d’IJPE, permet de retarder la personnalisation des engrais, dans de petites unités de mélange implémentées à proximité du client final. Elle se fonde sur la recherche de la composition chimique optimale d'un nombre réduit de produits semi-finis dont les combinaisons possibles permettent de satisfaire une très grande diversité de produits finis personnalisés. L’intérêt de cette approche de Chaîne Logistique Intelligente, à la production continue, est montré à travers quatre études.

The total calculation of lower-body volume shows a trend of reduction PRE vs. InQ (p = 0.051).
Conclusions: COVID-19 negatively affects training volumes on physically active women. However, a one-on-one follow-up by qualified trainers could support training quality and safety.
Methods and Tools Used in Metagenomics and its Applications in Biotechnology
Authors: Ali Safaa M.
Published: April 2022

Metagenomics is a collection of techniques and methods for analyzing genetic material (genes) found in the environment lacking of the microbial elements that live there. This field is regarded as a combined study of Microbiology and Genomics. This is as opposed to traditional microbiology approaches, which rely on the examination of the component to comprehend the whole. Metagenomics goes the other direction, focusing on recognizing the environmental microbial potential and determining its forms by distinguishing strains, It can also be used to extract specific proteins directly from the natural world. Microbiologists were able to gain a deeper comprehension of how microbial communities function and how species communicate with one another thanks to this genetic knowledge. It would also be beneficial to both the economy and the environment. It also helps to improve food security by improving sustainable agricultural practices and ensuring the quality and provision of ecosystem services, in addition providing insight into the environment of microorganisms that are beneficial or threaten the growth of agricultural crops. Genomic data is also being used to see if there are any non-arable microbial representations that could be used as alternative energy sources to address pressing environmental issues such as global warming and the growth of renewable energy sources like hydrogen and methane. Metagenomics can also be applied to diagnose infectious diseases, classify intestinal microbes, develop biofuels, and treat the climate. Environmental genomes have the potential to advance understanding in a variety of fields (medicine, engineering, agriculture, sustainability, and environmental science).

ERBAKAN’IN İSLAM BİRLİĞİ ANLAYIŞI VE SURİYE POLİTİKASI
Authors: ÇALIŞKAN Necmettin
Published: April 2022

Millî Görüş Hareketi’nin kurucusu Prof. Dr. Necmettin Erbakan, projelerini ve icraatlarını “Yaşanabilir Bir Türkiye”, “Yeniden Büyük Türkiye” ve “Yeni Bir Dünya” kavramlarıyla ifade ettiği üç temel üzerine şekillendirir. Erbakan’a göre ilk iki hedefe ulaşmak için maddî ve manevî yönden kalkınmak, üçüncü hedefe ulaşmak için ise İslam birliğini tesis etmek gerekir. Erbakan, emperyalizm ve siyonizmin sömürü, baskı ve her türlü zulmünden kurtulmak için Müslüman ülkelerin bir araya gelmeleri gerektiğini sürekli savunmuştur. Bunun bir göstergesi olarak da İslam ülkeleri arasında ekonomik ve sosyal ilişkilerin geliştirilmesine özel önem atfetmiştir. O, başbakan olduğu dönemde başta, İslam birliğinin nüvesi kabul edilen D-8 olmak üzere birçok icraata pratik olarak öncülük etmiştir. Araştırmada Necmettin Erbakan perspektifinden İslam birliğinin önemi ayrıca bu çerçevede 2001-2011 yılları arasında Türkiye-Suriye ilişkilerinde yaşanan gelişmeler ve Erbakan’ın bunlara yaklaşımı incelenmiştir. Buna ek olarak Ortadoğu’da sürekli yaşanan problem ve krizlerin uzun vadede çözümüne ilişkin tartışma zemini oluşturulmuştur., Erbakan’ın Suriye üzerinde ırkçı emperyalist güçlerin uygulamaya çalıştığı stratejiler hakkında yaptığı uyarılarda haklı çıktığı gerçeği ve bunun İslam birliği için ortaya koyduğu diğer öngörülerini de değerli kıldığı ortaya çıkan bulgulardan birisidir. Bu bağlamda sınır birliği olanlar başta olmak üzere İslam ülkeleriyle ilişkilerde gösterdiği hedeflerden istifade etmenin gerekliliği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu tespitler çerçevesinde yeni arayışlar ve çözüm yolları hakkında öneriler gündeme getirilmiştir.

Published: April 2022

Background: Syndecans are type-1 heparan sulphate proteoglycans which play significant role in cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix interaction. Syndecans are involved in tooth development and differentiation of mesenchymal cells. Amongst odontogenic lesions, ameloblastomas and dentigerous cysts are routinely encountered lesions with difference in treatment modality based on its aggressiveness. The objective of the present research was to study and compare immunohistochemical expression of syndecan-1 in ameloblastoma and dentigerous cyst. Method:  40 retrospectively diagnosed cases of ameloblastomas and dentigerous cysts were immunohistochemically stained against syndecan-1. The intensity of immunostaining and percentage of positive cells was assessed by three independent blind observers. Weighted kappa test was used to find out inter-observer reliability. Comparative evaluation of syndecan-1 expression between the two lesions was done using student t-test.

Results:  There was statistically significant difference between the mean of score for intensity, mean of score for percentage of positive cells and total mean score of syndecan-1 between ameloblastoma and dentigerous cyst. Conclusion: Syndecan-1 may be involved in aetiopathogenesis of odontogenic lesions like ameloblastoma and dentigerous cyst. Also, weak expression in ameloblastoma indicates that tumor invasion and aggressiveness is related to cell adhesion molecule like syndecan-1.

The present review aims to explore the role of social-emotional learning (SEL) in the education system by highlighting the competencies and skills that are required to augment emotional intelligence and social interaction and, appraising the role of teachers, learning contexts, and family. It draws attention to the core characteristics and the ingredients for the success of SEL programs and, yardsticks for comparison and selection of various frameworks. It discusses the potential limitations in the program implementation and, offers some general considerations relevant to various stakeholders to improve the program effectiveness in educational settings. Under a narrative general review approach, empirical articles, task force reports, and conceptual papers were explored to develop insights into how infusing SEL into the education system help students to learn competencies and skills they need to develop to manage their behaviours and emotions, build connections, and foster resilience. The review reveals that at its core, SEL instills the caliber to understand and deal with one’s own emotions and interactions with others and assists to be successful in the learning setting, in relationships, and as members of society.

The skin irritation and sensitization potential of the new transdermal patch of the Thiocolchicoside formulated with Dura 87-6908 was evaluated on the rabbits and guinea pig as per the standard guidelines of OECD. Skin irritation test was performed on the rabbits by applying the placebo patch for 72 hours and dermal reactions like edema, erythema were noted. No clinical signs or dermal reactions were observed in the rabbits. Sensitization potential was measure on the guinea pig and animal was challenged to transdermal therapeutic system of the Thiocolchicoside, negative control group while group exposed to CDNB produced the sensitization reactions. These findings proved that Thiocolchicoside does not produce any dermal toxicity, irritation and sensitization and hence it is safe for dermal use.

Trauma to anterior teeth has a significant impact on social well being of patient especially in teenagers. A fractured anterior tooth needs immediate clinical attention. If it is left untreated it causes damage to dentition and affects the aesthetic of patient. It even has a psychological impact on the patient. Because of the position in the arch the majority of dental injuries involve the anterior teeth, especially the maxillary incisors. In this case the broken fragment was not preserved by the patient. Thus firstly endodontic treatment is done followed by placement of post. Composite build up was done. Permanent restoration with porcelain fused metal (PFM) is opted to overcome the problem of esthetics and functional durability.

Published: April 2022

Las remesas han pasado a ocupar el primer lugar, si las exportaciones se dividen en rubros. De manera específica son más importantes que las exportaciones de café y las exportaciones de las manufacturas que tradicionalmente han sido las más relevantes (Funes, 2003). El Programa Regional de Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional para Centroamérica (PRESANCA II) y el Programa Regional de Sistemas de Información en Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional (PRESISAN) realizaron una caracterización de la Seguridad Alimentaria y Nutricional (SAN) en marzo del año 2014 en comunidades seleccionadas de tres municipios fronterizos de Guatemala, El Salvador y Honduras. Este estudio constituye un extracto de la caracterización de SAN para el análisis de “El fenómeno de la migración rural y sus repercusiones en el consumo de energía alimentaria de la población en El Salvador” enfatizado en la comunidad rural de San Ramón Centro, Municipio de Citalá en Chalatenango, que es caracterizada por su alta migración. El mismo se presenta con el objetivo de determinar la asociación entre la recepción de remesas y la alteración de la alimentación de las familias receptoras, que podría suscitar parte en la mejora o no de la SAN de las familias estudiadas. Los resultados obtenidos mostraron el efecto de alteración de la alimentación de las familias, evidenciando una diferencia del 16% incrementado de energía consumida por familias que recibieron remesas; aunque no se observaron diferencias de porcentajes del aporte energético de macronutrientes según recepción de remesas, se logró identificar que la distribución de la misma fue inadecuada.
