Authors: Baysal Nurten , Erol Barış Filiz , Ayyıldız Simel
Published: October 2022

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of trichloroethylene (TCE) on the metal-ceramic bond of ‎additively manufactured and casting Co-Cr alloys. For this purpose, 84 disc-shaped (r=12 mm, h=1 mm) ‎specimens were prepared for two experimental groups (n=42) with different fabrication techniques; casting ‎and additively manufactured with Co-Cr. Before ceramic application, the disc specimens divided into two ‎subgroups (n=21): Casting and cleaned with TCE (CT), casting and not cleaned with TCE (C), additively ‎manufactured and cleaned with TCE (AT), additively manufactured and not cleaned with TCE (A). Ceramic ‎‎(h=4 mm, r=6 mm) was applied to the disc specimens (n=20) and their shear bond strength (SBS) was ‎measured. The surface morphology of disc (n=1; for each subgroup) specimens before and after TCE ‎application was analyzed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results were statistically analyzed with ‎‎1-way ANOVA and the Bonferroni multiple comparisons tests (α=0.05). Significant differences were found in ‎SBS of the CT, C, AT, and A groups. CT group (21.74±1.66 MPa) showed a significantly higher SBS value ‎than the C (18.65±2.11 MPa), AT (19.07±1.75 MPa) and A (18.52±1.94 MPa) groups (p<0.001). In ‎conclusion the application of the TCE increased the metal-ceramic bond of casting Co-Cr alloy. Although the ‎results were not statistically significant the TCE also increased the bond of additively manufactured Co-Cr ‎alloy.

Authors: GEZER Halise Hande , PEHLIVAN Ozlem
Published: October 2022

Objective: To investigate the short – and long-term dynamics in inflammation markers [systemic immune-inflammation index (SII),
neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lymphocyte/ monocyte ratio (LMR)] before and after
biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARD) or targeted synthetic DMARD (tsDMARD) treatment.
Patients and Methods: Two hundred twenty-six patients (115 women, 47±13.8 years) were included. Age, gender, disease duration, and
treatments were recorded retrospectively. Complete blood counts including neutrophil, lymphocyte, platelet, monocyte and acute
phase reactants were noted at the visit before the biological treatment, at the 3rd month, 6th month, and the last visit on medication.
SII, NLR, PLR and LMR were calculated, and their dynamics over time were compared.
Results: Significant changes were observed over time in all parameters reflecting inflammation (SII, NLR, PLR, LMR, ESR, and CRP)
(p<0.05). In the correlation analysis of changes at baseline and six months, significant correlations with ΔESR were observed with
ΔCRP, ΔPLR, ΔSII and ΔNLR (p<0.05), but no correlation with LMR was detected. Also, significant correlations with ΔCRP were
noted with ΔNLR, ΔSII, ΔPLR, and ΔLMR (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Significant and favourable changes were observed in all inflammatory parameters after treatment, and this variation
remained stable as long as the drug was continued.

Published: October 2022

Objective: Data about the impact of Cushing’s syndrome (CS) on thyroid is scarce. We aimed to identify the prevalence of thyroid
diseases in patients with CS.
Patients and Methods: Nineteen patients with CS and 40 healthy participants were included in the study. All patients were tested
for free tri-iodothyronine (fT3), free thyroxine (fT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), anti-thyroglobulin (anti-Tg), and antithyroid
peroxidase (anti-TPO) levels, and thyroid ultrasonography (US).
Results: Overt hypothyroidism, subclinical hypothyroidism, and subclinical hyperthyroidism was evident in 5.3%, 5.3%, and 21.1% of
patients with CS; and 2.5%, 7.5%, and 15% of healthy subjects, respectively. fT3 and fT4 levels were lower in patients with CS. None
of the patients with CS and 27.5% of the control group had autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), which was demonstrated by both
US findings and anti-TPO positivity (P=0.01). Frequency of thyroid nodule was 52.6% and 52.5% in patients with CS and controls,
respectively (P=0.99).
Conclusion: The prevalence of thyroid dysfunction, nodular thyroid disease, and goiter is comparable to healthy population. However,
AITD is less prevalent among patients with CS. Although, hypercortisolism has an impact on hypothalamic-hypophyseal-thyroid
axis, its clinical implication does not seem to be significant.
Prevalence of cervical high-risk human papillomavirus and cytological abnormalities in elderly Turkish women
Authors: YALCINKAYA Cem
Published: October 2022

Objective: Cervical cancer (CC) screening ends at the age of 65 in Turkey, as in many countries. However, about a quarter of CCs
occurs in women over the age of 65. Persistent high-risk human papillomavirus(HR-HPV) infection is the most important factor
leading to CC. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of cervical HR-HPV and cytological abnormalities in Turkish
women aged 65 and over.
Patients and Methods: A total of 467 women between the ages of 66-84 who were referred to the gynecology outpatient clinics for any
reason between January 2010 and December 2021 were included in the study. Pap smears (liquid-based) of patients were screened for
HPV DNA typing using the COBAS test system and evaluated cytopathologicaly.
Results: The mean age of women was 72.4 years. The prevalence of HR – HPV was 5.1% (n = 24), HPV-16 and HPV-18 subtypes
constituted 58.4% of all positive cases. The rate of cervical HR-HPV and cytological abnormalities were not statistically different
between age groups. Of the women with a positive HR-HPV test in Pap smear, cytological abnormalities were found to be more
frequent when compared to HR-HPV negatives (95.8%, n=23 vs 4.3%, n=19, p<0.00001).
Conclusion: We demonstrated a strong correlation between HR-HPV positivity and cytological abnormality in the elderly women
population. Age groups were not significantly different regarding the prevalence of HR-HPV and abnormal cytology. We also revealed
that the prevalence of HR-HPV and cytological abnormalities in the elderly population were not high enough to explain the second
peak of cervical cancer seen in older ages. More studies are needed to explain which testing methods should be used in the elderly
patient population.

Schistosoma mansoni liver fibrosis is a complicated multicellular process involving numerous cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. Transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-1) and interleukin (IL)-13 have been identified as critical pro-fibrotic mediators in many studies. IL-17A was linked to enhanced TGF- and IL-13-induced pathologies. This case-control study aimed to explore the effect of IL-17A on TGF- and IL-13-induced liver fibrosis during experimentally schistosomiasis mansoni infection. A total of 40 laboratory-bred female C57BL/6 mice were divided into four equal groups (G), G1 non-infected, G2 infected wild type (WT), G3 infected/anti-IL-17 monoclonal antibodies (mAb) and G4 treated mice. Mice were infected percutaneously with 40±5 cercariae per mouse. Neutralizing IL-17 mAb was administered to G3 intraperitoneally 3 weeks after infection and then every third day until 2 days before sacrification; mice of G4 were treated with a single dose of praziquantel. Serum levels of TGF-, IL-13, IL-17A, and proinflammatory cytokines were measured by ELISA. Liver granulomas were identified by hematoxylin-eosin stain and measured by an ocular micrometer. There was a significantly increased serum concentration of TGF-, IL-13, and IL-17A in infected WT mice (P<0.01), but praziquantel treatment reduced cytokine levels (P<0.03). Neutralization of IL-17A activity remarkably reduced serum concentrations of TGF- and IL-13 (P <0.03) resulting in improved liver functions and reduced granuloma size. Secretion of IL-IL-6 and TNF-were markedly enhanced by infection, however, mice that received anti-mouse IL-17 mAb displayed fewer inflammatory mediators (P<0.03). In conclusion, IL-17A might contribute to the progress of liver fibrosis by enhancing the profibrotic effect of TGF- and IL-13 in mice infected with S. mansoni.

Millimeter and microwave wave components are in high demand, which will have a substantial influence on the development of 5G networks. In this work, Ridge Gap Waveguide is used to develop a planar high-gain antenna. The main objective of this study is to develop a wideband, high-gain antenna capable of supporting the expected need for high data transmission in the future. For this reason, a thorough examination of PRGW has been presented, along with a series of high-gain antenna designs that have been extensively tested. In the future, this antenna array might be used for 5G connectivity, and it meets all mm-wave band specifications. We have designed a novel tri slotted PRGW antenna which size is small (3.256x3.256x0.03 mm3), but the gain, bandwidth, directivity and rad efficiency is high with respect to other larger PRGW antenna. Although the volume of the proposed antenna is small, also it provides better Gain, Directivity and VSWR with respect to the larger conventional PRGW antenna. Directivity, gain and rad efficiency is increased when the tri slot is mounted on the substrate. It can be said that this antenna is suitable for ultra-wideband wireless communications, remote sensing, satellite newsgathering, disaster management, etc.

Published: October 2022

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of 5% and 21% oxygen concentrations on chimeric embryo development. Inner cell mass (ICM) from parthenogenetic activated blastocyst were used to produce ES cell-like cells. A pair of zona-free tetraploid embryos and one clump of pESCs at passage 2 and 3 were aggregated on granulosa monolayer in such a manner that the clump of pESCs was sandwiched between the tetraploid embryos. The aggregates prepared were randomly divided into two groups viz. Group 1 (21% O2) (n=54) and Group 2 (5% O2) (n=50) followed by culture in humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 at 38.5°C in a CO2 incubator. Aggregation rate and embryo quality was similar in both the groups. The percentage of aggregation, 8-16 cell, morula and blastocyst Group 1 (21% O2) was 91.66±4.04%, 49.07±5.08%, 25.92±6.05% and 16.66±4.95%, respectively while the percentage of aggregation, 8-16 cell, morula and blastocyst Group 2 (5% O2) was 96.59±2.83%, 51.89±9.14%, 16.28±5.52% and 28.40±8.10%, respectively. The aggregates and 8-16 cell stage embryos formed in Group 2 (5% O2) were comparatively higher than in Group 1 (21% O2) while morula formation in Group 2 (5% O2) was comparatively lower than in Group 1 (21% O2). Also, Group 2 (5% O2) had significantly more blastocysts as compared to Group 1 (21% O2). To conclude, culture under 5% O2 leads to improved aggregation and also enhances the production of blastocysts rather than with atmospheric oxygen concentrations (21%) during embryo incubation.

Enhanced efficiency of extension efforts targeted towards facilitating uptake of newer agricultural technologies byfarmers is much sought after by extension systems all over the world. Experimentation with several methodologieshas been done world over to achieve the said objective. Farmer-to-Farmer Extension (F2FE) approach is a farmer ledapproach that leverages the informal channels of technology penetration in form of existing social networks for diffusionof well proven agricultural technologies in the farming community. The approach emphasizes on experimentationwith newer technology by progressive farmers, followed by sharing of learning gained with other members in thecommunity. The basic strength of this model is the high credibility assigned by the farming community on localinformation source. The approach has well practiced in different forms in developing countries in Asia, Africa andLatin America. The article reflects on experiences gained from experimenting with F2FE approach in different formsand its institutionalization by extension systems across the globe.

Published: October 2022

The present investigation was conducted at research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi for 2016-17 and 2017-18 to study the seed deterioration in cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) cv PusaBarkha by mimicking seed ageing with accelerated ageing. The fresh seeds were subjected to accelerated ageing at 40±1˚  C and 100% RH for a duration of 2, 4, 6 days along with control (0 days) in desiccators. With the progression of ageing, a gradual decline in the seed quality parameters, viz. seed germination and seed vigour indices was observed. The H2O2 content was within the threshold level from 0 to 4 days of ageing but beyond this, it damaged the cell membrane in seeds. Similarly, antioxidant activity (SOD, CAT, POX and higher GSH/GSSG ratio) increased initially and maintained the redox state by quenching the H2O2 effectively. Whereas, the content of H2O2 reached above the oxidative window as the activity of enzymes also decreased beyond 4 DAA. The study suggested that the H2O2 within oxidative window could be quenched efficiently; beyond this it is toxic and affects longevity as enzymes get inactivated with ageing in storage.

The main aim of the paper is the multidimensional analysis of regional development in the new EU Member States in the years 2004–2014 on the background of EU regions and characterisation of the differences in their dynamics with the use of a synthetic index. The article presents an attempt to adopt a method of taxonomic measure of socio-economic development for multidimensional comparative analysis of development processes in a dynamic approach and to develop a synthetic measure reflecting the multifaceted nature of development processes and cohesion policy. The developed indicator (Regional Development Index) was used to determine the directions and paces of processes leading to the reduction of disparities in the level of regional development (beta- and sigma-convergence).

Published: October 2022

From the economic point of view the choice of a hotel location is the most important decision for an investor, made at the pre-investment stage of a business project. An attractive building location and a service programme appropriately matched to it determine the profitability level and as a result the development prospects of the hotel. An attempt to determine the most important factors of the location of newly built business and holiday hotels is the aim of the paper as well as the use of documentary and statistical methods in the empirical domain. The spatial scope of the survey comprised Dolnośląskie Voivodship, Opolskie Voivodship and Śląskie Voivodship, while the time covered the years 2000–2009. The analysis of the survey results have shown that the most important factors for business hotel locations comprised transportation access, investment incentives of a planning-administration nature, the supply of tourist services, the level of economic development, the degree of economy internationalization as well as availability of investment areas. In addition, in the analyzed group of holiday hotels the tourist (natural) values, access to skilled hotel staff, investment incentives (of a planning-administration nature), an increase in competition in the hotel sector as well as the supply of tourist services turned out to be statistically significant location factors. After the survey, numerous leads appeared, which in the authors’ opinion should become the subject of further consideration of issues related to hotel location selection conditions.
Modele biznesu regionalnego. Kontrapunktowanie przemysłów: tradycyjnych i kreatywnych
Authors: Perechuda Kazimierz , Hołodnik Daria
Published: October 2022

W artykule sformułowano nowy paradygmat rozwoju regionalnego, który w optyce zarządzania jest równoznaczny z modelowaniem nowoczesnych przestrzeni biznesu. Optyka ta pozwoliła bowiem na „testowanie” nowych modeli teoretycznych z przestrzeni managementu korporacyjnego (model biznesu jako sieciowe pole znaczeń ) z potencjałem prosperujących sektorów w regionie (analiza potencjału modelu biznesu regionalnego w odniesieniu do dominujących cech orientacji sektorowej: przemysłów tradycyjnych lub kreatywnych ). Ważnym postulatem jest założenie, że w modelach biznesu regionalnego opartych na dominacji przemysłów kreatywnych decydenci samorządowi powinni posługiwać się i podejmować decyzje w oparciu o niematerialne kryteria rozwoju, które explicite mają charakter jakościowy. Natomiast regiony „zmagające się” z dryfem ekonomiczno-gospodarczym (dominacja przemysłów tradycyjnych) mają dwojakie wyjście. Pierwsze rozwiązanie to inwestowanie w infrastrukturę materialną, które w krótkofalowej perspektywie rzeczywiście przynoszą wysokie stopy zwrotu (np. dodatkowe miejsca pracy przy rozbudowie elektrowni Opole), jednak długofalowo mogą być niepotrzebnym balastem, generującym „potworne” koszty utrzymania (np. stadion piłkarski we Wrocławiu), co gorsza, w „śladowym” stopniu przyczyniającym się do realnego rozkwitu kapitału społecznego (co z tego, że mamy drogę jak z niej nie korzysta „lokalny klient” lecz logistyczne sieci transportowe). Kontrapunktującym wyjściem jest benchmarking korporacyjnych mechanizmów sieciowania „przestrzeni wpływów”, których celem nadrzędnym (w stosunku do budowy bazy infrastrukturalnej) jest dostęp, identyfikacja oraz wykorzystywanie niematerialnych źródeł osiągania przewagi konkurencyjnej (budowanie „infostrady”, czyli zarządzanie strumieniami informacji, wiedzy i energii). Za pomocą egzemplifikacji modeli biznesów regionalnych w sektorze agrowinnym przeanalizowano przestrzenie przepływów wiedzy (regiony agrowinne, w których nastąpiła reorientacja z przemysłów tradycyjnych na kreatywne), co należy w głównej mierze utożsamiać ze skutecznym procesem budowania kapitału intelektualnego, relacyjnego oraz społecznego.
A Lexico-semantic study of Vernacular Expressions in Chimamanda Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun
Authors: Agu Innocent Ejimofor , Agu Evangelista Chimebere
Published: October 2022

This paper examined the use of vernacular expressions in Adichie’s Half of a Yellow Sun with the intention of establishing the appropriateness or otherwise of such usage. It has become an established style for renowned authors to incorporate vernacular expressions in their writings. Code-mixing from different languages is sometimes done with the sole purpose of emphasizing somesalient points that would enable the author achieve a particular artistic effect. But it can also affect meaning and thus cause ambiguity in the interpretation of the intended points.The extracts were purposively selected and discussed under the sub-heads: Use of Ambiguous Expressions, Use of Code-switching and Code-mixing, Introduction of Different Dialects of the Igbo Language into thenarrative, Use of Plural Markers, Use of Vernacular Expressions of Non-Igbo Etymology and Use of Sound Effects. The analyses revealed that the author is very skilful in weaving vernacular expressions into a novel written in the English language thuscreating a perfect blend of two or more languages into a single narrative for stylistic effect. It is recommended that budding and even established writers may decide to adopt this style so as to reach a wider African audience and at the same time create a balance of style and meaning in the narrative tissue.
An Analysis of Grammatical Cohesion in Written Labour Texts: A Study of Selected Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Communiqués
Authors: Bello Mohammed , Sharndama Emmanuel C.
Published: October 2022

This study is an analysis of grammaticalcohesion in written labour texts. The corpus for the study consists of five written communiqués of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Federal University of Technology, Yola branch. Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) model of cohesion was adopted for the analysis. The result showed prevalence of reference and conjunctive cohesions. The reference cohesions are means by which the writer keeps the reader abreast of all developments in the discourse. Similarly, conjunctions are means by which writers join text elements together in order to convey desired meaning.

Adapun tujuan dari penelitian tentang Perancangan Jaringan Virtual Private Network (VPN) Berbasis Mikrotik pada Kantor Kecamatan Marioriawa adalah untuk merancang dan mengimplementasikan jaringan Virtual Private Network (VPN) berbasis Mikrotik pada Kantor Kecamatan Marioriawa yang belum memiliki suatu sistem jaringan internet yang private, aman dan bebas dari gangguan peretasan, karena Database didalam Server Kantor Kecamatan Marioriawa sangat penting karena berisi Data Induk Kependudukan dari seluruh warga Kecamatan Marioriawa yang tidak boleh diakses oleh yang tidak berwenang. Adapun alat yang digunakan yaitu Mikrotik Router, Kabel UTP (Straight), Socket RJ45 dan Sistem Aplikasi Winbox.exe. Serta menggunakan metode  berbasis  PPTP (Point to Point Tunnel Protocol). PPTP (Point to Point Tunnel Protocol)  merupakan salah satu jenis Virtual Private Network (VPN) yang paling sederhana dan fleksibel untuk dikonfigurasi. Mayoritas sistem operasi sudah mendapat dukungan sebagai PPTP Client pada komputer. Dalam pengaplikasian Metode PPTP (Point to Point Tunnel Protocol) kedalam aplikasi Winbox.exe Mikrotik Router termasuk rumit karena konfigurasi dasar dalam Mikrotik Router jauh berbeda dengan Router lain. Namun hasil penerapannya sangat aman dan mudah bagi penggunanya. Pada pengujianawal serta akhir jaringan, ditemukan perbedaan waktu pengiriman data bahwa selesainya menerapkan VPN (Virtual Private Network) Point to Point Tunnel Protocol  (PPTP), analisa tersebut bahwa data yang dikirim sudah terenkripsi. Untuk itu penulis membuat skripsi mengenai jaringan Virtual Private Network (VPN) berbasis Mikrotik pada Kantor Kecamatan Marioriawa yang saat ini belum menerapkan sistem tersebut

Exploring the Issue of Ecological Crisis Through the Four Paths Of Matthew Fox’s Creation Spirituality
Authors: Gabatbat Ma. Emperatriz
Published: October 2022

This paper examined the causes that affect the people’s behavior toward the environment and their response to the increasing ecological crisis of our country. It explored the specific contributions of people to the crisis and the possible measures that each can do to help somehow lessen if not resolve the problem. The Four Paths in Matthew Fox’s Creation Spirituality were helpful tools in determining the various characteristics of people in relation to creation and the challenges that beset it. The VIA POSITIVA, VIA NEGATIVA, VIA CREATIVA AND VIA TRANSFORMATIVA are paths which bring us into the realities of our roles in this cosmos and can in turn help us reflect and realize our major role to bring about change. The analysis of this exploration include the problem of nonchalance, laziness, materialism, greed and a lack of knowledge on the interconnectedness of human beings and other living beings and non-beings. Anthropocentrism also poses a threat to the way we relate to the environment for we have comfortably became used to being the center of all creations and thus, tend to treat the other beings as immaterial. Each ‘crowning glory’ of creation is in no way superior to all others as to freely harm and abuse them in satisfying their self-centered desires. All are called to participate in a genuine stewardship, a sincere care and concern for the common good. Every ‘Juan dela Cruz’ must submit into renewal of perspectives, even changing paradigms in organizations if we truly desire a more harmonious relationship among all creations.

Direct-fed Enterococcus faecium plus bacteriophages as substitutes for pharmacological zinc oxide in weanling pigs: effects on diarrheal score and growth
Authors: Oh Sang-Hyon , Jang Jae-Cheol , Lee Chul Young , Han Jeong Hee , Park Byung-Chul
Published: October 2022

Objective: Effects of direct-fed Enterococcus faecium plus bacteriophages (EF-BP) were investigated as potential substitutes for pharmacological ZnO for weanling pigs.Methods: Dietary treatments were supplementations to a basal diet with none (NC), 3,000- ppm ZnO (PC), 1×1010 colony-forming units of E. faecium plus 1×108 plaque-forming units (PFU) of anti-Salmonella typhimurium bacteriophages (ST) or 1×106 PFU of each of anti-enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli K88 (F4)-, K99 (F5)-, and F18-type bacteriophages (EC) per kg diet. In Exp 1, twenty-eight 21-day-old crossbred weanling pigs were individually fed one of the experimental diets for 14 days and euthanized for histological examination on intestinal mucosal morphology. In Exp 2, 128 crossbred weanling pigs aged 24 days were group-fed the same experimental diets in 16 pens of 8 piglets on a farm with a high incidence of post-weaning diarrhea.Results: None of the diarrheal score or fecal consistency score (FCS), average daily gain (ADG), gain: feed ratio, structural variables of the intestinal villus, and goblet cell density, differed between the EF-BP (ST+EC) and NC groups, between EF-BP and PC, or between ST and EC, with the exception of greater gain: feed for EF-BP than for PC (p<0.05) during days 7 to 14 (Exp 1). In Exp 2, ADG was less for EF-BP vs PC during days 0 to 7 and greater for EF-BP vs NC during days 7 to 14. FCS peaked on day 7 and declined by day 14. Moreover, FCS was less for EF-BP vs NC, did not differ between EF-BP and PC, and tended to be greater for ST vs EC (p = 0.099). Collectively, EF-BP was comparable to or slightly less effective than PC in alleviating diarrhea and growth check of the weanling pigs, with ST almost as effective as PC, when they were group-fed.Conclusion: The E. faecium-bacteriophage recipe, especially E. faecium-anti-S. typhimurium, is promising as a potential substitute for pharmacological ZnO.
Disruption
Authors: West Traci C. ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: October 2022

To examine the institutional ethics of the church there must be a focus on how the mutually reinforcing interplay of cultural and political values of white supremacy and heteropatriarchy are so effectively perpetuated by Christians through their church bodies. Analysis of this institutional process includes an illustration from the United Methodist Church 2019 quadrennial global assembly and a moment of LGBTQI protest against the Church’s enactment of the “traditional plan” banning equality across sexual orientations and gender identities by limiting ordination and full access to pastoral care to cisgender heterosexuals. A transformative vision of institutional ethics of the church requires disruption of the church’s commitment to preserving social domination.
