Giftedness and Illness: A Reflection on Nietzsche's Biography and Work
Authors: Frolova Irina
Published: December 2020

Gifted people’s mental health is an unsolved practical and research problem. The article aims to answer the question how psychopathology can become a dominant communication strategy of gifted people. The issues is approached by the analysis of giftedness concepts developed within psychological and sociological approaches.

The life and work of F. Nietzsche is analyzed as a bright example of genius struggling with a psychotic illness. Nietzsche’s spiritual quest ended in chaos and emptiness. However the meaning of his illness goes far beyond his own subjectivity. Nietzsche's madness turned out to be a new path, a different existence, and a crucial event which completely changed our idea of good and evil, faith and disbelief.

The philosophic approach to giftedness considers the existential meaning of the appearance of extraordinary people in society and analyzes their life history not only in terms of their subjectivity, but also in the perspective of the influence of their life and work on the subsequent development of society as a whole.

XIX. Yüzyılda Rus-Çin İlişkilerine İngiliz Etkisi ve Gulca (Kuldja) Anlaşması
Authors: ÖZEL ÖZCAN Merve Suna
Published: December 2020

Ruslar, dış politikalarında tarih sahnesine çıktıkları andan itibaren teritoryal alan genişlemesi açısından emperyal yayılımını arttırmıştır. Rus İmparatorluğu’nun XIX. yüzyıl boyunca emperyal yayılım politikalarına karşılık, Çin İmparatorluğu’nun kendini sorgulamaya başladığı ve özellikle Batılı güçler karşısında gücünün ve etkisinin azaldığı bir tablo karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Dolayısı ile çalışmada, XIX. yüzyıl içinde Çin-Rus ilişkilerinin doğası ve karşılıklı olarak uluslararası ve bölgesel sistem içinde konumlarının karşılaştırılması yapılacaktır. Bu bağlamda çalışmada önemli inceleme noktalarından biri de 1851 tarihli Gulca (Kuldja/Кульджа/İli/Yinning) Anlaşması’dır. Tarihsel olarak kısmen gözden kaçtığı düşünülen bu anlaşma ile Rus İmparatorluğu’nun İngilizlerin karşısında kendine Asya-Pasifik bölgesinde yer bulma adımı attığı söylenebilir. İki ülke arasındaki ticari ilişikleri düzenleyen bu anlaşmanın tarihsel olarak önemi ve etkisi belki de süreçte gözden kaçan ayrıntılardan biridir. Çünkü dönem içerisinde Rusların, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu üzerinde nüfuz sağlama çabası düşünüldüğünde, Uzakdoğu bölgesinde bu anlaşma ile özellikle İngiltere karşısında dostane olmayan bir adım attığı görülmektedir. Bu bağlamda dönemsel olarak Avrasya bölgesinde Rus-İngiliz rekabetinin yeri önemlidir. Bu iki imparatorluk XIX. yüzyıl boyunca hep rekabet halinde olmuş ve bulundukları bölgelerde büyük güç konumlarını hissettirmişlerdir. Bu açıdan Rus ve İngiliz imparatorluklarının bölgedeki denge ve güç bağlamında belirleyici olma çabaları söz konusudur. Nitekim çalışmada XIX. yüzyılda Rus ve Çin imparatorluklarının ilişkisi incelenecektir. Eş zamanlı olarak, iki ülkenin ilişkilerinin bölgesel gelişmeler ve İngiliz-Rus güç mücadelesinin bir yansıması olarak görülüp görülmeyeceği de sorgulanmıştır.
К Вопросу О Месте Азербайджана в Южнокавказской Политике России в XVIII – начале XIX вв. в Современной Азербайджанской Историографии
Authors: İSKENDEROVA Marziya
Published: December 2020

Межнациональные конфликты конца ХХ – начала XXI вв. предопределяют особую актуальность темы изученности внешней политики России на Южном Кавказе. Геополитическое и геостратегическое значение Азербайджана, как и Южного Кавказа в целом, всегда находилось в центре внимания научных исследователей. В статье предпринята попытка историографического анализа неко¬торых трудов современных азербайджанских исследователей, позволивших выделить значимое место Азербайджана в южнокавказской колониальной политике России в XVIII – нач. XIX вв. Акцент на геостратегическом положении Азербайджана как важнейшего фактора в широкомасштабных планах России раскрывает позиции авторов в отношении доминанты в политике России её интересов на Южном Кавказе в целом, и в Азербайджане, в частности.В статье уделяется должное внимание определению азербайджанскими историками приоритетной роли Азербайджана в российско-османском противоборстве на Кавказе. Вместе с тем, раскрытие ими вопроса о месте Азербайджана в российско-гаджарских и российско-османских отношениях позволяет проследить гегемонистскую политику царизма в Южном Кавказе. Демонстрируемая в работах преемственность политики царизма отражает не только двойственность политики России, но и ее стремление к единоличному господству на Южном Кавказе и, в том числе в Азербайджане. В свою очередь рассмотрение истоков внешней политики России в данном регионе способствует выявлению степени разработки исторических корней ряда геополитических процессов современности. Прослеживаемые в этих работах глубокий подход и принципы объективизма при освещении изучаемой темы явились итогом переосмысления методологических основ периода «застоя» и тем самым эти работы знаменовали собой новый этап в исторической науке после распада СССР.Обоснованно и объективно рассматривается изучение в них факторов, определивших особую важность Азербайджана в экспансионистской южнокавказской политике России в указанный период.Предпринятая в статье попытка проведения историографического анализа трудов некоторых представителей современной азербайджанской историографии позволяет пронаблюдать отказ ими от идеологизированного подхода советской эпохи к проблеме выяснения значимости Азербайджана во внешней политике России в указанный период. Именно последнее способствовало выявлению этими азербайджанскими учеными главной- колониальной сущности политики России на Южном Кавказе в этот период. Вместе с тем, историографическая разработка указанных исследований раскрывает единение авторов в восприятии особого места Азербайджана для России и определении объективных факторов, обусловливающих активизацию политики царизма в данном регионе.
ESPAÇOS HETEROTÓPICOS, ROSTOS-PAISAGENS E ESPÉCIES COMPANHEIRAS: UM ESTUDO ECOCRÍTICO DA OBRA ROMANESCA DE GRACILIANO RAMOS
Authors: Ferreira Cosme Rogério
Published: December 2020

Este artigo consiste em apresentar uma leitura da obra romanesca do escritor Graciliano Ramos (1892-1953) numa perspectiva ecocrítica, ramo dos estudos literários que objetiva as interfaces entre a literatura e o meio ambiente. O trabalho articula as noções de espaço, heterotopia, rostidade e espécies companheiras para demonstrar as relações entre ser humano e ambiente na produção do consagrado romancista alagoano. Para tanto, lançamos mão da técnica de pesquisa bibliográfica, reunindo autores que auxiliem no processo de reflexão sobre os temas em jogo em tais obras, como Alaimo (2008), Bourdieu (1996; 2003), Brandão (2017), Deleuze e Guattari (2012), Gaard (2010), Glotfelty (1996), Foucault (2009) e Haraway (2017). Como resultado, verifica-se que a obra de Graciliano Ramos, além de ser um importante documento da realidade social brasileira, é também uma obra ecocrítica, no sentido de que se abre às reflexões sobre os lugares/espaços onde foram produzidas e onde se desenvolvem as narrativas.
A TRADUÇÃO NO CONCRETO
Authors: De Almeida Ricardo Peres
Published: December 2020

A análise de traduções de poesia é uma forma de estudo e de crítica metalinguística, e por meio dela pode-se refletir sobre aspectos fundamentais da linguagem poética tanto na língua de partida quanto na língua de chegada (CAMPOS, 2013). No caso da poesia concreta, em que elementos estruturais dos poemas ganham notório destaque, torna-se necessário realizar um estudo aprofundado das relações estabelecidas entre os termos, perceber suas nuances e os efeitos poéticos que cada escolha lexical, sintática e estrutural produz. Ao analisar o processo de tradução em si, torna-se visível o elo linguístico que se estabelece entre os dois textos – o original e sua tradução – que, embora em línguas distintas, mantêm uma ligação artística entre si. Neste artigo, propõe-se analisar a tradução de Augusto de Campos do poema birds( composto pelo poeta norte-americano e.e. cummings, com o objetivo de colocar em evidência os elementos poéticos que o processo tradutório revela, bem como sua complexidade e produção de efeitos. Para tanto, utilizar-se-á como aporte teórico textos que foram fundamentais para a tradução e crítica da poesia concreta no Brasil, sobretudo os de Haroldo e Augusto de Campos.

Authors: Levytska Viktoriya , Mushynskyi Andrii , Berezovskyi Andrii
Published: December 2020

Ixodes ricinus is the most common tick in Europe, distributed almost throughout the continent, except the northern regions. Dermacentor reticulatus is a widespread species of tick in Europe and Western Asia. The study included monitoring the distribution density and seasonal activity of ticks D. reticulatus and I. ricinus in the natural environment during 2018-2019. A total of 1592 D. reticulatus ticks and 712 I. ricinus ticks were collected in Ternopil, Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv oblasts. There was a tendency to increasing of the number of ticks of both species in 2019 compared to 2018. The largest number of ticks was collected in autumn 2019, during the autumn peak of activity, which amounted to 710 adult ticks. Thus, the average density of ticks of both species collected in the Ternopil region was 40 ticks/1000 m2, in Ivano-Frankivsk – 32 and 45 in Lviv regions in 2018 and 62, 46 and 63 ticks/1000 m2 in 2019, respectively. In the spring of 2018, almost twice as many adult ticks of D. reticulatus were detected as in the fall in all areas. With regard to I. ricinus ticks, we did not observe a statistically significant difference in seasonal activity. In the spring and autumn, two peaks of ticks’ activity were registered in all regions and the average number of ticks in the spring in the meadows was 20 ticks/1000 m2, and on the wooded area – 39 ticks/1000 m2, and in autumn – 17 and 41 ticks/ 1000 m2 respectively. During both years and in all three oblasts, females prevailed over males during all the period. Although the density of ticks of both species in all areas was quite high, but the ticks were unevenly distributed. The largest number of D. reticulatus ticks was found in the Lviv region in 2019, which ranged from 46 to 119 ticks/1000 m2. Low and medium density of adult ticks D. reticulatus and I. ricinus, from 11 to 77 ticks/1000 m2 was observed in Ivano-Frankivsk region in 2018. Throughout the study period, the seasonal activity of D. reticulatus and I. ricinus ticks was significantly affected by air temperature, which fluctuated during collection of ticks.
Effectiveness of using the drug “Bolus rozröd +” for prevention of obstetric polymorbid pathology of cows
Authors: Zubkov Olexandr , Skliarov Pavlo
Published: December 2020

To prevent postpartum pathologies in cows, the study used the drug “Bolus rozröd +” – boluses containing ionized iodine (1.0%), selenium (0.15%), cobalt (0.50%) and copper (13.4%) and their long-term digestibility (within 6-8 months). The choice of the drug “Bolus rozröd +” as a means of prevention of postpartum pathologies is due to the fact that it contains trace elements that are deficient in the diet of the dairy complex “Ekaterinoslavsky”, the lack of which is a leading link in the etiopathogenesis of postpartum pathologies. A significant advantage is that the drug is relatively inexpensive (~ 10 $), and its components have a long digestibility (within 6-8 months), which can significantly reduce the frequency of injections (single, repeated ─ if necessary), and hence the total cost for preventive measures, treatment of sick animals and reduction of their stress during active milking, which will also reduce financial losses from unproduced milk. The experimental group (25) was given the drug “Bolus rozröd +”, heated to a temperature of 15-200C, orally, using an applicator (bolus) at the rate of 1 bolus per animal. The effectiveness of the drug “Bolus rozröd +” was determined according to the dynamics of biochemical blood tests and clinical evaluation of the postpartum period in cows. It was established that the method of prevention of postpartum pathologies in cows using the drug “Bolus rozrod +” is therapeutically effective, because it improves the biochemical parameters of the blood of animals, in particular, and reduces the incidence of postpartum pathology in general. Thus, the drug reduced the clinical manifestations of the following diseases: ketosis-metritis, placental delay and ketosis, and the number of healthy animals was 20% higher than in the control group, which proves the positive effect of the drug “Bolus rozröd +”.

It is established that to achieve sustainable economic development one of the most promising areas is to develop a mechanism for balanced consumption and production, which is based on the resource approach and the model of intersectoral balance and is an extremely complex task that requires a systematic approach and generalization of economic, social, human and environmental development in the long run, has general scientific and methodological significance and requires further research. The paper reflects the structural and logical scheme of the studying process the terminology of the balanced consumption and production in Ukraine, which takes into account globalization, information and digital transformations. The article analyzes endowment of the natural resources in the world and proves the expediency of developing a mechanism for ensuring balanced consumption and production in Ukraine. The main goals and objectives for ensuring the transition to models of balanced consumption and production in accordance with the regulatory and legal support of Ukraine. A comparative analysis of balanced consumption and production models was carried out, grouping the said models according to main characteristics. A mechanism has been developed to ensure a system of balanced consumption and production, the main principle of which is the integration of environmental, economic and social aspects of the use of natural resources, which is one of the provisions of the basic organisation of "green economy". It is substantiated that the main purpose of the mechanism developed in this study is to improve the system of natural resources management in the national economy by determining the level of balance between consumption and production by assessing economic, environmental and social indicators followed by the development of supportive or transformational policies.

L’ensenyament del valencià i prejudicis lingüístics. Un estudi de cas en un centre de secundària de la Plana Utiel-Requena
Authors: Pérez Ortiz Tanya
Published: December 2020

La present recerca aborda la qüestió de l’ensenyament del valencià en les comarques lingüístiques castellano-parlants en les quals encara és vigent la LUEV (1983) que determina la possibilitat d’exempció de l’assignatura de valencià. En concret, abordem la qüestió de les creences i representacions socials sobre la llengua i el seu ensenyament a partir d’un estudi de cas realitzat en un centre de secundària de la ciutat de Requena. L’objectiu de l’estudi és identificar i diferenciar les actituds lingüístiques cap al valencià en aquest context sociolingüístic i és una oportunitat per presentar un canvi educatiu. Els resultats d’aquest estudi responen a les idees de l’alumnat i del professorat autòcton extretes mitjançant la producció d’autobiografies lingüístiques per part de l’alumnat de 4t d’ESO i la participació de docents en un focus grup. Les conclusions es basen en una proposta de bones pràctiques en relació a l’ensenyament del valencià en aquest territori lingüístic. Les activitats oferides tenen com a finalitat eliminar els prejudicis reforçant actituds d’ús lingüístic com ara la comunicació amb altres grups sociolingüístics. Aquestes es podrien aplicar a altres territoris la consciència lingüística dels quals és castellana tot i pertànyer a un territori valenciano-parlant.

Authors: Yılmaz Özlem , Bayram Onur
Published: December 2020

1990’lardan beri yaşadığımız teknolojik gelişmeler, önemli değişikliklere yol açmıştır. Teknolojik devrim de denilen, yaşanan bu gelişmelerle birlikte e-ticaret”, “e-devlet” gibi kavramlar hayatımıza girmiştir. Teknolojik devrimle birlikte üretilen mal ve hizmetler işletmelerin satış ve pazarlama anlayışında değişme yaratırken, tüketicilerin ise istek ve ihtiyaçlarını satın alma alışkanlıklarını ve tercihlerini etkileyen faktörlerde değişim sağlamıştır. Türkiye’de e-ticaret kullanımı son yıllarda yaygınlaşırken, e-ticaret yoluyla alışverişlerin de arttığı gözlemlenmiştir. Küresel sınır ötesi e-ticaret de ülkeler arasında yaygınlaşmaktadır. Covid-19 Pandemisi de dijital teknolojileri, internet üzerinden alışverişin önemini daha da ortaya koymuştur. İnsanlar artık zamandan da tasarruf etmek amacıyla, sosyal mesafe ve hijyen nedeniyle internetten alışverişe yönelmişlerdir.
Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de e-ticaret ve ihracat verileri incelenmiş, Covid-19 Pandemi döneminde de Türkiye’deki elektronik ticaretin seyri ele alınmıştır. En çok e-ihracatı yapılan ürün kategorisi ise hazır giyim olarak tespit edilmiştir. Seyahat ve turizm, salgın öncesi dönemde e-ticarette en çok tercih edilen ürün kategorisi içindeyken; salgın döneminde ise en çok azalış gösteren sektör olmuştur.

Pragmatizmin Zihin-Beden İkililiğini Reddetmesinin Analitik Felsefeye Yansıması
Authors: BAŞDAĞ BAŞ Hatice
Published: December 2020

Pragmatizm başından itibaren zihin-beden ikiciliğine mesafelidir. Pragmatizmin kurucularından olan John Dewey, felsefesinden zihin-beden ikililiğini kaldırmıştır. Analitik felsefe ekolü ise başta zihin-beden ikililiğini cümlelerde analitik-sentetik ayrımına dayanarak kabul etmiştir. Sonradan W. V. Quine öncülüğünde analitik-sentetik cümle ayrımının reddi, analitik felsefe akımının genel seyrini değiştirmiş ve bu ekolü pragmatizmle buluşturmuştur. Analitik felsefe geleneğinde zihin-beden ikililiğini reddetmeye yol açan durum, analitik-sentetik cümle ayrımının imkânsız olduğunun görülmesi ve analitik cümlelerin doğru kabul edilmesinin epistemolojik açıdan temelsiz olduğunun fark edilmesidir. Analitik cümle ile sentetik cümle ayrımının zihin-beden ikililiğini kabul etmekle ilgisi şu şekildedir: Doğruluk belirlemesi zihinde olup bittiği için analitik cümle zihne tekabül etmektedir. Doğruluk belirlemesini anlam içeriğinin fiziğe uygunluğundan alan sentetik cümle ise bedene tekabül etmektedir. Dolayısıyla cümlelerde analitik-sentetik ayrımının reddi, zihin-beden ikililiğinin reddi anlamına gelmektedir. Başta epistemolojik açıdan ayrı kulvarlarda yer aldığı görülen pragmatizm ile analitik felsefe ekolünün sonradan zihin-beden ikililiğini reddetme noktasında aynı kulvarda buluşmalarına yol açan kilit nokta, analitik-sentetik ayrımı ve bu ayrıma yüklenen anlamdır.
Locke, Accountability and Personal Identity
Authors: Abdulla Adam
Published: December 2020

When discussing Locke’s views on the topic of personal identity, commentators often cite from Essay II. xxvii. 26, which begins with the remark that ‘person ... is a forensic term appropriating actions and their merit ...’. In some way or other, what Locke says about accountability and punishment is supposed to bear on what he says about the identity of persons over time. According to some, the connection is this: the correct account of personal identity is crucial because the meting out of punishment and the allocation of reward depend upon it. Locke himself says, ‘In this personal identity is founded all the right and justice of reward and punishment’ (II. xxvii. 18). More specifically perhaps, a person is not to be punished or rewarded for an action unless he or she was the person who performed it. To know that Sam is rightly to be punished for the crime one must know that he was actually the criminal; to know that he was actually the criminal one must know not only the details of the case but also, more generally, what it is that makes a person X at one time the same as a person Y at another; whence the need for a criterion of personal identity.
Locke the Plotter? Ashcraft's Revolutionary Politics Reconsidered
Authors: Milton Philip
Published: December 2020

In the twenty years since it was published, Richard Ashcraft’s Revolutionary Politics and Locke’ s ‘Two Treatises of Government’ has become established as a major contribution to Locke scholarship. Ashcraft’s primary interest was in political theory, and though he emphasized that he was not writing a political biography he did insist that Locke’s political thought ‘cannot be grasped in any way other than on the basis of biographical evidence’. One of his main aims was to dispel what he called the ‘myth of Locke’s political innocence’ and he sought to portray him as a committed political activist, not a ‘detached philosopher’. ‘We have become accustomed’, he wrote, ‘to seeing a tapestry in which Locke is pictured alongside Newton or Boyle. The historical Locke, however, was more often in the company of Ferguson or Wildman or some obscure tradesmen.’ The comparison is a striking one. Robert Ferguson has gone down in history as Ferguson the Plotter, and John Wildman was someone who, in the words of his biographer, was ‘plotter alike against Charles I, Cromwell, Charles II, James II and William III’. Both were involved in the Rye House plot and Monmouth’s rebellion, though Wildman preferred to leave the risks to others. If Ashcraft is to be believed, Locke was similarly involved, and so too were most of his friends: ‘The fact is that the majority of Locke’s friends were political activists, and of these, the overwhelming majority had been members of the Green Ribbon Club and were participants in the Rye House conspiracy’.
Review of The Cambridge Companion to Locke's 'Essay Concerning Human Understanding' edited by Lex Newman
Authors: Lowe E. J.
Published: December 2020

This is a very welcome addition to the currently burgeoning stock of multi-authored works on Locke’s philosophy in general, distinguished by its concentration on the Essay Concerning Human Understanding in particular. Readers will find in it a remarkably full range of themes and issues explored by some leading Locke scholars. According to the book’s cover, it is ‘pitched to advanced undergraduates and graduate students’. Some of the chapters would certainly be suitable items for undergraduate reading lists, but others are probably rather too demanding and will appeal mainly to other Locke scholars. All of the essays are new compositions and many of them present interesting new interpretations of Locke’s views. Locke’s works, and the Essay in particular, are fertile ground for such interpretive exercises—not because he wrote at all obscurely, but because his views, and preferred manner of expressing them, underwent continual change and development over the course of successive rewritings, partly as a result of his own critical reflection on them and partly in response to his engagement with other thinkers, in both correspondence and conversation. There is perhaps too much effort by some of his modern commentators to present definitive and consistent interpretations of Locke’s positions on various matters, almost as though to concede that Locke might often have been unsettled and conflicted in his opinions would be impugning his ability or importance as a philosopher—when in fact it is only lesser philosophers who resolutely stick to their guns in their dealings with the deepest questions of philosophy. Part of the excitement of reading Locke’s own words lies in sensing his continual struggle with the problems that he discusses—a struggle that is a testament to his intellectual honesty and open-mindedness. Sometimes, when reading the close dissections of his work by modern commentators, with their frequent cross-references and carefully selected quotations, one suspects that Locke himself, were he to be presented with their lengthy musings and minute analyses, would throw up his hands in either despair or irritation at exercises that he might deem excessively scholastic in their nicety and refinement. I do not mean to reproach any of the contributors to the present volume in this regard, all of whose essays inspire one to return to the Essay itself with renewed curiosity and sometimes with unsettling doubts about one’s own previous understanding of it.

IMPLICAÇÕES DA POLÍTICA DE AVALIAÇÃO NA PRODUÇÃO DA QUALIDADE EDUCACIONAL
Authors: Lélis Luziane Said Cometti , Leal da Hora Dinair
Published: December 2020

O artigo discute o conceito de qualidade como produto de uma construção humana, mostrando os diferentes significados operados no contexto da política educacional e problematiza as implicações da política de avaliação nacional na produção da qualidade educacional, como valor instrumental, quantitativo. O objetivo é compreender as concepções de qualidade assumidas nas proposições dos Planos de Ação Educacional (PAEs) indicados nas produções acadêmicas (mestrado profissional) em interface com as avaliações externas. O estudo é proveniente de revisão bibliográfica e de levantamento de trabalhos científicos publicados no Banco de dados de Teses e Dissertações da Capes. As análises provenientes do PAEs apontam para uma posição naturalizada de aceitação da política de avaliação nacional, que passa de uma posição meramente de execução das políticas e monitoramento da aprendizagem para a prestação de contas, contribuindo fortemente na produção ou conformação da qualidade imputada por índices.

Published: December 2020

INTRODUCTION: Measurement of blood zinc levels is frequently used in the diagnosis of a few conditions such as growth retardation, immunodeficiency, infertility, neurological disorder, and acrodermatitis enteropathica. The serum matrix is the most preferred one to determine zinc levels due to the ease of analysis with other tests and cost-effectiveness of blood collection tubes used to obtain serum samples. In our study, we aimed to compare serum and plasma zinc test results for accurate and reliable zinc measurement in plain tubes with clot activator and gel and in heparin-free tubes, which specifically produced for trace element analysis. METHODS: Twenty-seven randomly selected patients were included in the study. Blood samples drawn simultaneously from patients were pipetted into tubes with clot activator and gel (SST) (SST II Advance, Vacutainer, Becton Dickinson and Company, USA) as well as into trace element tubes with sodium heparin (NH) (NH Trace Elements Sodium Heparin, Vacuette, Greiner Bio-One GmbH, Austria). After the centrifugation process, zinc levels in serum and plasma samples were analyzed by colorimetric method using an autoanalyzer. Bias between serum and plasma zinc levels was evaluated according to the allowable bias criterion based on biological variation and regression analysis performed. RESULTS: The mean and standard deviation of serum and plasma zinc levels were 49.0±11.5 μg/dL and 46.4±12.0 μg/dL, respectively, and a statistically significant difference was determined (p=0.012) in between. Besides, the bias between serum and plasma was 6.8%, which was above the allowable bias (3.3%) and considered as clinically significant. No systematic or random errors detected. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: When selecting a blood collection tube for trace element analysis, the structural differences between tubes and the matrix effect should be considered carefully.
A Rare Cause of Pituitary Deficiency: Pituitary Stalk Interruption Syndrome and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings
Authors: Çilengir Ahmet Hikmet , Sarıoğlu Fatma Ceren , Çilengir Nevin , Dirim Mete Berna
Published: December 2020

Pituitary stalk interruption syndrome is a rare disease characterized by a deficiency of adenohypophyseal hormones. Clinical presentation usually occurs in childhood or in the second decade of life. The severity of hormonal deficiency is variable. It may be isolated or be accompanied by extra–pituitary anomalies. Magnetic resonance imaging findings are considered as an absent pituitary stalk, absent or smaller adenohypophysis, absent or ectopic neurohypophysis. Contrast-enhanced imaging is essential in evaluating the presence and morphology of the pituitary stalk. In the presence of clinical findings, evaluation of the hypothalamic–pituitary region using magnetic resonance imaging is necessary for diagnosis. Early diagnosed cases can maintain their normal lives with hormone replacement. In this article, we aimed to present pituitary stalk interruption syndrome and its magnetic resonance imaging findings with a case presentation

Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) is characterized with diffuse bilaterat radiologic infiltration, and a hypoxemic respiratory failure. A 48-year-old housewife hospitalized in a chest diseases hospital with the diagnosis of pneumonia was intubated for increased respiratory distress. The patient, who developed cardiac arrest three times underwent CRP for nearly 15 minutes. When she was admitted to intensive care unit of a tertiary healthcare institute, severe acidosis was detected in her first arterial blood gas sample (ph 6.9). Bilateral rales were heard in respiratory system auscultation and “cotton wool spots” were observed on her PA chest X-ray and initial diagnosis of ARDS was made. The patient was consulted with the department of infectious diseases, and zyvoxid 2x1 (avelox 1x1 meronem 2x1) were added to her antibiotherapy. The patient’s admission parameters were as follows: WBC 45000/mm3 CRP: 11 mg/dL sedimentation: 84 mg/dL. Although the patient was followed up on a mechanical ventilator with a protective ventilation strategy for 2 days, ECMO treatment was decided because PaO2 / FiO2 <100 and blood gas values did not improve. ECMO treatment was applied for 5 days. Then, the patient was extubated and transferred to the service without complications.

Published: December 2020

INTRODUCTION: Postoperative pain is a condition that patients frequently complain about all over the world. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of pain training before elective thoracotomy on postoperative pain levels in patients. METHODS: 100 patients who underwent thoracotomy for any reason were included in the study. Patients were given a 20-30-minute training on postoperative pain and how the pain is controlled, and what the patient can do to minimize the pain 24-48 hours before thoracotomy. The patients were divided into two groups; those that were trained and those that were not trained. Extubation time was accepted as baseline (0 hour). At the hours of 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24, patients were asked about their pain on the visual pain scale (VAS). Respiratory rate, blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen saturation levels were recorded at the hours. RESULTS: When VAS scores were compared between the two groups, no significant difference was found in the values measured at the 4th hour whereas there was a significant difference between the subsequent values. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The results of this study showed that pain training before thoracotomy operation gradually decreased postoperative VAS pain scores in patients.

For many students, mathematics is regarded as a challenging subject to learn and master in class. One of the significant factors contributing to the students’ difficulties in learning mathematics is caused by a phenomenon called mathematics anxiety. Mathematics anxiety is a feeling of unease and anxiety toward mathematics and it can be different from person-to-person. Understanding the effects of mathematics anxiety levels on students’ mathematics performances in class can be the key to help students’ mastery of mathematics. The aim of the study is to investigate the relationship between mathematics anxiety levels and students’ mathematics performances at the foundation level. A sample of 545 students from a local foundation centre was chosen for this study. Data collection via questionnaire was used where quantitative data were analysed using correlation, t-test, and descriptive analyses. The results showed that there was a weak positive correlation between students’ anxiety levels and the students’ mathematics performance in their final examination. Recommendations and future potential for this study were further discussed in this paper.

Authors: Miller Glen , Blau Gary , Campbell Deborah
Published: December 2020

Helping military veterans successfully transition to civilian life is an important issue. Education can help with this transition. No prior studies were found on the general type of undergraduate major United States (US) Chapter 31 veterans enroll in. Chapter 31 provides tuition benefits to help entitled transitioning military veterans, with service-connected disabilities, go to college to obtain a degree. Self-determination theory (SDT) suggests two general categories of majors, intrinsic (I) versus extrinsic (E). Intrinsic motivation emphasizes doing a task for its inherent satisfaction, while extrinsic motivation targets doing the same task to achieve external rewards, such as compensation. Archival data was analyzed using small samples of undergraduate Chapter 31 military veterans in 2016, 2018 and 2020. Overall, the results supported the research question, i.e., Chapter 31 veterans will be more likely to choose intrinsically motivating versus extrinsically motivating college majors. Results, including limitations and suggestions for future research are discussed.
