TÜRKİYE'DEKİ MEVDUAT BANKALARININ ENTROPİ AĞIRLIKLANDIRMALI CAMELS VE ESG PERFORMANS ANALİZİ
Authors: Onocak Derya
Published: April 2024

Finansal sistemin temel aktörlerinden olan bankaların sergilediği performans, banka paydaşlarının alacağı kararlarda kullanılan temel göstergelerdendir. Paydaşlar günümüzde finansal bilgiler kadar çevresel, sosyal ve yönetişim (ESG) gibi konuları kapsayan bilgilerin de kendilerine sunulmasını talep etmektedir. Bu konuda artan talep performans değerlendirmede, finansal kriterlerle birlikte finansal olmayan kriterlerin de dikkate alınması gereğini ortaya çıkarmıştır. Buradan hareketle bu çalışmada çevresel, sosyal ve yönetişim gibi finansal olmayan kriterlerin bankaların performansları üzerindeki etkisini tespit etmek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç kapsamında araştırma sorusu “Bankaların performans analizine ESG değerlerinin dahil edilmesi performans sıralamasını etkiler mi?” olarak belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada Türkiye’de faaliyette bulunan ve ESG puanlarına ulaşılabilen altı mevduat bankasının performansı CAMELS yöntemine göre analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan analizde performans kriteri olarak CAMELS bileşenlerinin yanı sıra bankaların ESG puan bileşenleri de kullanılmıştır. Performans kriteri olarak kullanılan bileşenlerin analizdeki ağırlıkları entropi yöntemine göre belirlenmiştir. Analize dahil edilen bankaların performans başarı sırası belirlenirken önce CAMELS bileşen değerlerine göre bir puanlama yapılmış ve ardından ESG bileşen değerleri de analize dahil edilerek puanlar tekrar hesaplanmıştır. Her iki durum için hesaplanan puanlar karşılaştırılmış ve ESG bileşenlerinin analize dahil edilmesinin bankaların performans puanlarında farklılıklar ortaya çıkardığı ve 2019 ve 2022 yılları için Akbank ve Garanti BBVA’nın başarı sıralarını da değiştirdiği tespit edilmiştir.

Published: April 2024

Objective: To investigate the association of nutritional risk with gait function and activities of daily living (ADLs) in older adult patients with hip fractures.Methods: The retrospective data of older adult patients diagnosed with hip fractures who visited the recovery-phase rehabilitation ward between January 2019 and December 2022 were reviewed. Nutritional risk was evaluated using the Geriatric Nutritional Risk Index; gait function and ADLs were assessed using the modified Harris Hip Score subitem and Functional Independence Measure, respectively. Multivariate linear regression and path analysis with structural equation modeling were used to examine the factors associated with ADLs and the associations among the study variables.Results: This study included 206 participants (172 females and 34 males; mean age, 85.0±7.3 years). In the multivariate analysis, gait function (β=0.488, p<0.001), cognitive function (β=0.430, p<0.001), and surgery (β=-0.143, p<0.001) were identified as independent factors. Pathway analysis revealed that nutritional risk was not directly correlated with ADLs but was directly associated with gait and cognitive functions. Gait and cognitive functions, in turn, were directly related to ADLs.Conclusion: Nutritional risk was found to be associated with ADLs through an intermediary of gait and cognitive functions.

Authors: Nakazato Tomas , Quezada Pablo , Gutiérrez César , Romaní Franco
Published: April 2024

Objective: To estimate the prevalence of chronic neck pain (CNP) among the adult population in Peru during the post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) restriction period compared with that during the pre-pandemic period and evaluate its association with prolonged digital devices connected to the internet (DDCI) screen viewing.Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study using a representative sample of adults living in Peru in November 2022. A structured survey was employed to identify CNP, and the exposure variable was set as the duration of DDCI screen viewing. The McNemar test was used to compare CNP prevalence pre- and post-COVID-19 restrictions, and ordinal logistic regression was used to evaluate its association with prolonged screen viewing.Results: A total of 1,202 individuals participated, with 52.8% females and 79.9% residing in urban areas. Following the restrictions, the prevalence of CNP occurring daily or almost daily and at least once a week was 14.8% and 27.8%, respectively (95% confidence Interval [95% CI], 12.6–17.3 and 24.9–30.9), representing a significant increase (p<0.001) compared with pre-pandemic estimates. Notably, among those viewing DDCI screens for ≥8 hours, the odds ratio for CNP frequency escalation compared with those who did not or rarely view screens was 1.61 (95% CI, 1.04–2.50; p=0.033).Conclusion: Approximately 4 of 10 adults in Peru experienced CNP following the lifting of COVID-19 social restrictions, more than double the pre-pandemic prevalence. Furthermore, prolonged viewing of DDCI screens increased the risk of having this condition.

Plastic containers are an alternative choice for the most widely used people as food and beverage packaging. According to research, the use of plastic that does not meet the requirements will cause various health problems, because it can trigger cancer and damage to tissues in the human body (carcinogenic). The lack of public knowledge about the dangers of plastic as a food container and the use of inappropriate plastic is a factor in the use of plastic which is sometimes not in accordance with its designation. For this reason, socialization and education are needed to know about the main types of plastic. This service was held at Dasawisma Merpati, Sidodadi Village, attended by 36 Dasawisma members. The community service program for outreach and education on the dangers of plastic for food and beverage containers is well implemented. This is evidenced by the participation of Dasawisma members and their understanding of the material. It was concluded that this educational program effectively modifies participants' attitudes and knowledge regarding the risks of using plastics in the processing and packaging of food and beverage products.

Unlocking minds and rethinking law school: the transformative power of ‘University in Prison’

The project “University in Prison” unites law students living in freedom and imprisoned students by having both groups of students attend a weekly university seminar on criminological and legal topics. This takes place within the walls of Berlin’s largest prison and therefore comes with various challenges. Much more decisive, however, are the positive effects that the project has on all those involved. In this article, we talk about the implementation of the project, the impact of “University in prison” on students living in freedom, imprisoned students and law schools in general and the first evaluation results. “University in Prison” attempts to foster inclusivity in law school and challenges the status quo at law schools in Germany.
Explaining the Subjunctive in factive contexts
Authors: Marques Rui
Published: April 2024

The occurrence of the Subjunctive mood in sentences describing facts is commonly seen as problematic, given the relation between Subjunctive and non-veridicality. One line that is explored in the literature to account for the Subjunctive in complement clauses of factive verbs is to link the occurrence of this mood in such contexts to gradability of the main clause’s predicate. However, such an account faces empirical problems, and is not extendable to other contexts where the Subjunctive occurs even if the sentence describes a fact of reality. This paper proposes an account for the occurrence of Subjunctive in different kinds of factive contexts, showing that in all such cases the reason for this mood to occur follows from the general condition that leads to the use of Subjunctive, though for different reasons. Gradability of the main predicate is, in fact, one of the factors that leads to the consideration of non-p worlds, and the Subjunctive, but not the only one. For other predicates, other semantic features lead to counterfactual reasoning. Concessive clauses are another factive context where Subjunctive occurs and allow a better understanding of what triggers the Subjunctive mood and what this formal sign indicates.

The Myth of Multitasking
Authors: Baum Neil
Published: April 2024

For decades, we’ve accepted multitasking without question. Most physicians spend part or most of their day switching rapidly from one task to another by juggling two or more things at the same time. Now research demonstrates that this approach to efficiency and productivity is not effective—it is even counterproductive and does not accomplish more in less time. This article discusses the perils of multitasking and shows that it is more important to focus on one task at a time.
Trust: The Key to Building Stronger Physician Relationships
Authors: MacLeod Les
Published: April 2024

The transition from volume to value in healthcare has highlighted the importance of strong and genuine alliances between healthcare organizations and physicians. However, the absence of established guidelines for building such relationships has resulted in failed attempts, miscommunication, and missed expectations. This article discusses the varying degrees and levels of trust, and the importance of distinguishing between personal and impersonal perspectives. Trust-building behaviors are provided, including empowering physician colleagues, communicating often using multiple modalities, promoting transparency and sharing information, and developing clinical leadership among colleagues. The article concludes that healthcare organization leaders must be courageous enough to extend trust, which is much more than a magnanimous gesture, but an invitation to a collaborative future. The potential rewards of building trust can be enormous and well worth the effort, and trust as a foundation for high performance means trust comes first.

The coffee red spider mite, Oligonychus ilicis, stands out as one of the main pests of Conilon coffee. The use of synthetic chemical control has led to an increase in the population of this mite and a reduction in its natural enemies. Aiming to find viable alternatives, this study aimed to evaluate the acaricidal potential of “abricó” peel extract, Mammea americana, in the management of O. ilicis. Each treatment consisted of 7 repetitions, with 10 individuals per repetition. They were placed in Petri dishes (10.0 x 1.2 cm), containing coffee leaf disks (4 cm diameter) inside, and moistened cotton at the bottom of the dish and around the disks. The peels of M. americana were dried, crushed, and diluted in aqueous solution to obtain extracts at concentrations of 2; 2.57; 3.30; 4.24; 5.45; and 7 %. The application was done by spraying, using an Alfa 2 model airbrush connected to a compressor calibrated with a constant pressure of 1.3 psi. 1 mL of solution of each concentration was applied for each repetition. Distilled water and the surfactant Tween® 80 (0.05 % v/v) were used as control treatments. The acaricidal effect was evaluated 24, 48, and 72 hours after spraying, and the lethal concentrations LC50 and LC90 were calculated. The results of the toxicity tests indicated an increase in the mortality of O. ilicis with the increase in the concentrations of aqueous extracts of M. americana, resulting in 100 % mortality. The LC90 was estimated at 3.83 %. In the chemical analysis of the M. americana extract, the presence of phenolic acids, tannins, and flavonoids was observed at concentrations of 39.150, 40.783, and 0.0349 mg-1, respectively. We conclude that the aqueous extract of M. americana peels demonstrated acaricidal potential in a controlled environment for the coffee red spider mite.

Published: April 2024

A sustentabilidade ambiental tem se tornado uma pauta central nas Instituições de Ensino Superior (IES) ao redor do mundo. Mais recentemente, a institucionalização desta pauta tem se tornado mais frequente entre as IES localizadas na região amazônica. O objetivo desse trabalho foi, a partir de uma visão panorama do Ranking UI GreenMetric, no período de 2010 a 2023, analisar a participação de quatro IES situadas na Amazônia Legal, que estão inseridas neste ranking de sustentabilidade universitária. Para tanto, realizou-se pesquisa documental a partir de dados e informações disponibilizadas na página institucional do UI GreenMetric e também, nas páginas institucionais, relatórios e publicações oficiais das IES brasileiras que estão na Amazônia Legal e fazem parte deste ranking. A partir dos levantamentos, verificou-se que este ranking tem se mostrado uma ferramenta bastante útil para a gestão e governança da sustentabilidade ambiental em IES. Ao longo dos doze anos de existência, o salto foi de 95 universidades em 2010 para 1.183 na edição de 2023, representando um crescimento de 1.005%. Quanto ao número de países, foram de 33 para 84 países, respectivamente. A participação no ranking também proporciona uma oportunidade para as instituições compartilharem suas iniciativas e boas práticas, além de estimular a adoção de medidas sustentáveis por parte de outras IES na região. Apesar de o UI GreenMetric já existir desde 2010, somente em 2020 as IES localizadas no território amazônico são inseridas, a saber: UEA, UEMA e UFOPA. Na última edição do ranking, em 2023, passou a configurar, dentre as IES amazônicas, a UFAC. Verificou-se que, dentre as quatro IES, a UEMA é a instituição mais bem estruturada, entre as universidades estudadas. A UFOPA, apesar de ser uma universidade bastante jovem, criada em 2009, possui, desde 2014, uma Diretoria de Meio Ambiente – DEMA e uma Coordenação de Gestão Ambiental – CGA. A UEA aprovou, em 2020, sua Política de Sustentabilidade, no entanto ainda não possui estrutura de governança refletida em uma unidade administrativa institucional dedicada à gestão ambiental. A UFAC, em sua primeira participação no ranking, ficou em 2º lugar dentre as quatro IES da região amazônica.

Os distúrbios respiratórios do sono, incluindo apneia obstrutiva e central, são prevalentes e complexos, exigindo uma abordagem multidisciplinar para diagnóstico e tratamento. Avanços em tecnologia, como modelos de aprendizado de máquina, mostram potencial para diagnósticos mais precisos. A colaboração entre especialistas, como ortodontistas, é crucial para oferecer cuidados abrangentes, incluindo modificações craniofaciais. A relação entre distúrbios do sono e condições psiquiátricas destaca a necessidade de mais pesquisas em estratégias não cirúrgicas e modificação do estilo de vida. Desafios na coordenação do cuidado multidisciplinar ressaltam a importância de diretrizes abrangentes e evidências empíricas. Pesquisas contínuas são essenciais para avançar na compreensão e manejo eficaz desses distúrbios complexos.
Human capital in corporate strategy structure: approaches to harmonization
Authors: Kobylko A. A. , Rybachuk M. A.
Published: April 2024

The importance of human capital accumulation is increasing among the competitive advantages of a company. However, the attention paid to it in the practice of management is not sufficient. Strategic human capital does not form in the long term. This study identifies the key elements that are necessary in forming a human capital strategy. The applied methodology rests on a fusion of theoretical approach to human capital and strategic planning, public materials describing the practice of forming long-term attitudes in the documents of Russian companies and statistical data. The main research methods are a complex approach, comparative, statistical analysis and observation, together with the author's approach to highlighting the format of a real enterprise strategy. The study has shown that currently corporations are considering the concept of human capital strategy only within the framework of human resource management The infrastructure component and other factors remain outside the framework of this long-term planning. However, the researchers describe this concept in sufficient details, highlighting a number of key aspects that contribute to the formation of this intangible asset. We propose a structure and a number of key attributes of the human capital strategy such as urgency, degree of detailization, publicity, etc. We substantiate the need to identify three areas of development in the long term, which are coordinated with other strategic decisions. These include employee development, knowledge infrastructure formation and corporate social infrastructure construction.
A Review of Maternity Care for Migrant Women
Authors: Gross Olivia
Published: April 2024

Migrant women’s experiences of maternity services have been well documented in literature. However, many studies do not account for the impact of migrant women’s language proficiency on their experience with maternity care services. This paper explores the factors contributing to women’s experiences including language barriers, access to care, physical outcomes and emotional outcomes. It provides a comparison of English-speaking native-born women with migrant women of non-English speaking backgrounds (NESB). Through evaluation of the data, the reader will gain an understanding of the needs of migrant women where English was their second language (ESL), to reduce health inequalities and implement system reform.
Skin Care in Pregnancy and the Postnatal Period
Authors: Pollard Kerry
Published: April 2024

A great deal of advice around maintaining health is focused on nutrition and exercise – in particular what to do and what not to do. Little focus is on the importance of skin care. Just like the heart and lungs, the skin is an organ of the body. In fact it is the largest of all of the organs. It has many functions, many of which support us to maintain health and wellbeing through a complex eco system of the microbiome where it provides protections against pathogens, supports vitamin synthesis, metabolism and immune development.1 In pregnancy, the body’s organs undergo a myriad of physiological changes affecting each system differently.2 There are three categories of skin conditions in pregnancy, benign hormone-related changes such as hyperpigmentation and striae gravidarum, pre-existing skin conditions, such as acne and psoriasis, and pregnancy-specific disorders such as atopic eruption of pregnancy.3 Each will require different treatment or care to minimise discomfort or irritation.

Despite the progress of science in cancer treatments and radiotherapy improvements, there are still several side effects that occur during tumors treatment, particularly on healthy tissues surrounded tumors. Newer treatment methods are being explored lately, one of which is the use of nanoparticles, wherein the tumor is injected with gold nanoparticles. Its aim is to enhance tumor sensitivity to radiation and reduce radiation damage to healthy tissues. Tissue type may play an effective role in enhancing the dose being received under the use of nanoparticles. This study aims to find the effect of different tissue components on dose enhancement factor through MCNP6 and GATE simulations, as well as to accurately compare  the simulation results of these two code packages for dose enhancement factors. A 125I brachytherapy source was simulated in phantoms for five tissues or materials (adipose tissue, breast tissue, soft tissue, water, and brain tissue). MCNP6 simulation code was validated by comparing its results with a previous study by Cho et al. Gold nanoparticles were injected as a mixture at a concentration of 7 mg/g into tissues inside a tumor. MCNP6 and GATE simulation results were compared. It was estimated from MCNP simulations that the highest radiation dose enhancement of 2.34 occurs in adipose tissue while lowest dose enhancement of 1.69 is in brain. In comparison, from GATE results, the estimates were that the highest value of dose enhancement factor also occurred in adipose tissue at 2.01, and the lowest value in brain at 1.48. The comparison between two codes suggest that they are compatible with the percentage difference in all tissues being less than 15 %. This study confirms that both MCNP6 and GATE codes could calculate DEF for different tissues under irradiation from a low-energy source.

Published: April 2024

The government of Ghana has the intention of adding nuclear to its energy mix. Due to water availability for cooling, the coastal areas will be the right place for siting a nuclear power plant. This study was carried out to assess the distribution of 137Cs should liquid radioactive waste be released into coastal waters because of a non-routine event. The distribution was studied for the first month after the release. In the first week following the release, 137Cs was distributed within 16 km of the Ahanta West coastal waters with a concentration of about 9.1 Bq. L-1. On the seventh day, the distribution reached the entire coast of the Nzema East with a lower concentration with the bulk of the concentration still in the Ahanta waters. The 137Cs continued to spread into the eastern coast until the thirty-first day with a concentration of less than 1 Bq. L-1. This study provides useful data for future monitoring along the coast.

Background: Celiac disease, an immune-mediated enteropathy that occurs in susceptible individuals after gluten ingestion, has clinical manifestations that go beyond the classical malabsorption syndrome and can affect other systems. Objective: To review the current literature for cardiovascular changes described in patients with celiac disease. Method: We conducted a search in the PubMed database and selected articles based on their relevance to the objective. Results: Celiac patients have a 1.2 times higher risk of cardiovascular events compared to non-celiac patients. The most common cardiovascular manifestations include atherosclerosis, cardiac arrhythmias (especially atrial fibrillation), myocarditis, coronary artery disease, dilated cardiomyopathy, impaired aortic function, and cerebrovascular diseases. There are several possible explanations for this relationship, including: prothrombotic changes, accelerated atherosclerosis compared to patients without celiac disease, associated comorbidities, such as antiphospholipid syndrome and Type 1 Diabetes mellitus, subclinical chronic inflammation and genetic factors. Celiac disease patients have a 38% higher risk of developing atrial fibrillation and a 19% higher risk of coronary artery disease. Furthermore, celiac patients have a 22% higher risk of coronary artery disease-related death, regardless of small intestine histopathology. Patients with celiac disease also show an increased prevalence of dilated cardiomyopathy (5.7%) and a 73% higher risk of developing dilated cardiomyopathy, particularly within the first year of celiac disease diagnosis. Conclusion: Celiac disease may be associated with cardiovascular changes, especially in newly diagnosed patients who have not adhered to a gluten-free diet. Therefore, cardiovascular assessment should be considered as part of the initial assessment and follow-up of individuals with celiac disease.

O termo “sertão” foi utilizado pelos primeiros para descrever a paisagem e topografia de Goiás. O conceito está intimamente ligado ao espírito da época, que via qualquer território carente das mudanças sofridas pela ação humana como uma região atrasada ou desértica. A necessidade de (atu)ação humanizatória se torna quase imperativo à cosmovisão eurocêntrica da época. O emprego de mestiços, não mais escravizados, tornou-se cada vez mais predominante. Estabeleceu-se durante o ciclo do ouro e, especialmente, com o fim deste ciclo e incremento da atividade pecuarista, um sistema de trabalho para essa mão de obra disponível, sem salário, sem vínculo empregatício ou contratual que se baseava na agregação ao território a ser explorado, de propriedade privada. O agregado teria que estar vinculado ao patrão como uma forma semi servil de contrato verbal, que incluía evidentemente relações de poder e temor de ações por parte dos grandes patrões que dispunham de meios de ação baseados na força e violência. Uma vez aceito pelo patrão, deveria constituir residência no interior da propriedade do patrão nos moldes mencionados anteriormente, e ficava vinculado ao mesmo inclusive para disputas territoriais, devendo fazer parte de um pequeno exército dos grandes proprietários em suas guerrilhas pessoais. Ao agregado cabia a lida diária com o gado, que incluía por sal no cocho, verificar a existência de algum animal doente e trata-lo, reuni-lo no curral ou tira-lo do curral à pastar utilizando, para este fim, cavalos, proteger o rebanho de possíveis predadores ou quaisquer riscos à integridade do mesmo.

O melanoma maligno de pele é uma patologia bastante prevalente no território brasileiro. Contudo, no período de 2018 a 2021, houve algumas variações sobre sua amostragem devido ao período da pandemia COVID-19. Nesse contexto, o presente estudo possui, como objetivo geral, compreender a taxa de mortalidade do melanoma maligno da pele na região Nordeste e demais regiões de 2018 a 2021 e como objetivos específicos realizar um estudo comparativo de mortalidade entre o Nordeste e as demais regiões do Brasil, entender quais os principais fatores de risco para o melanoma maligno de pele e elencar quais as formas mais eficazes de tratar o melanoma maligno de pele e qual o índice de sucesso dos tratamentos. Desse modo, foi realizado um levantamento de dados no DATASUS para a concretização do estudo. A investigação foi realizada no sistema de informação do atlas on-line de mortalidade do INCA, por intermédio do DATASUS, a partir do qual foram levantados dados acerca da mortalidade do melanoma maligno de pele, dentre o período de 2018 a 2021. Assim, evidenciou-se que a região do Brasil com maior taxa mortalidade do melanoma maligno de pele é a região Sul do Brasil, sendo que o Nordeste fica na antepenúltima posição. Com isso, o que pode explicar tais dados, de acordo com alguns autores, são os fortes traços europeus na população sulista, ao passo que os nordestinos e a população do Norte possuem mais traços relacionados aos indígenas e ao povo afrodescendente. Por isso, um dos fatores de risco para o melanoma maligno de pele é a exposição solar prolongada e repetida, associada a fototipos de pele mais claros, fazendo-se necessário o uso de protetor solar e vestimentas adequadas ao se expor ao sol.
O USO DE Aloe vera (L.) Burm. f. NA CICATRIZAÇÃO DE FERIDAS

Published: April 2024

Aloe vera, também conhecida como babosa, é uma planta suculenta que tem origem incerta devido à sua ampla distribuição ao longo de muitas regiões tropicais e subtropicais. Ela é cultivada há milhares de anos em várias partes do mundo por suas propriedades medicinais e terapêuticas. No Brasil, seu uso é uma prática caseira tradicional, que ganhou respaldo institucional com a introdução de produtos fitoterápicos à base de Aloe vera na rede pública de saúde a partir de 2006, com a implementação da Política Nacional de Práticas Integrativas e Complementares. Dentre as diversas aplicações, destaca-se seu potencial na cicatrização de feridas, incluindo queimaduras e lesões cirúrgicas. O presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar a literatura existente sobre o uso do gel derivado da Aloe vera (L.) Burm. f. como alternativa terapêutica ou complemento no processo de cicatrização de feridas em humanos. Embora algumas revisões sistemáticas tenham indicado possíveis vieses em ensaios clínicos, gerando cautela na determinação da eficácia da Aloe vera na cicatrização de lesões agudas e crônicas de várias origens, a maioria dos estudos clínicos e revisões científicas apontam para propriedades terapêuticas benéficas do gel de Aloe vera na promoção da cicatrização de feridas em pacientes humanos. As evidências acumuladas sustentam a importância da utilização da Aloe vera no processo de cicatrização de feridas. Ainda assim, para obter uma compreensão mais abrangente dos mecanismos subjacentes e estabelecer as diretrizes ideais de uso, a realização de mais pesquisas é essencial. Essa revisão destaca a relevância da Aloe vera no contexto da medicina alternativa e complementar, especialmente no tratamento de feridas cutâneas.
