Study on characteristic arrhythmias by 24 - hour electrocardiographic Holter in patients with chronic mitral regurgitation
Authors: Mai Anh
Published: June 2023

Objectives: To investigate arrhythmias in patients with primary chronic mitral regurgitation by using a 24 - hour ECG Holter and to evaluate the association between arrhythmias and the degree of mitral valve regurgitation, left atrial diameter, degree of NYHA, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF%).

Methods: A cross - sectional descriptive study of 48 patients diagnosed with chronic mitral regurgitation with valvular involvement lesions such as rheumatism or prolapse valve at the Department of Internal Cardiology of Hue Central Hospital from 4/2021 - 4/2022.

Results: The mean age of sample was 58.19 ± 16.46 years, women accounted for 64.58%. Among patients who had arrhythmias with 24 - hour Holter ECG monitoring, the majority were atrial fibrillation (58.30%), followed by premature ventricular complex (54.20%) and premature supraventricular complex (16.70%). The incidence of atrial fibrillation increased when the degree of mitral regurgitation was heavier, and the group had a left atrial diameter of > 45 mm (p < 0.05). The incidence of atrial fibrillation varies between levels of heart failure according to the NYHA (p < 0.05). Meanwhile, there was no difference in the incidence of atrial fibrillation between the two groups, EF < 50% and EF ≥ 50%. When analyzing multivariate logistic regression, age (OR = 1.062, 95% CI: 1.005 - 1.121) and left atrial diameter (OR = 1.181, 95% CI: 1.033 - 1.349) are prognostic factors for atrial fibrillation in patients with chronic mitral regurgitation.

Conclusions: Cardiac arrhythmias are a common complication in patients with chronic mitral regurgitation. Atrial fibrillation remains the most common arrhythmia. Age factors and left atrial diameter are 2 factors that increase the likelihood of atrial fibrillation in these patients.

Authors: Doan Thang
Published: June 2023

Objectives: To investigate the imaging characteristics of coronary artery lesions in hypertensive patients with or without diabetes by percutaneous coronary angiography. Determining the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and levels of coronary artery damage in patients with hypertension.
Methods: A cross - sectional description was carried out in 185 hypertensive patients (49 with diabetes; 136 without diabetes) underwent percutaneous coronary angiography to assess lesion images at the Emergency - Interventional Cardiology Department - Hue Central Hospital and the Cardiology Department - International Medical Center, Hue Central Hospital from April 2020 to July 2021.
Results: Characteristics of coronary artery damage in hypertensive patients by percutaneous coronary angiography: the proportion of patients with significant coronary artery stenosis accounted for 64.90%. Significant lesions in the LAD: 63.20%; RCA: 45.40%, LCx: 35.70% and LM: 1.10%. The coronary artery lesions in patients with diabetes were diffuse, complex, and more severe than in the non - diabetic group, with an average number of obstructive branches over 50% and over 70% in two groups with and without diabetes, respectively. 39 ± 1.81; 1.90 ± 1.57 and 1.71 ± 1.60; 1.40 ± 1.33. The degree of atherosclerosis was more diffuse with a higher Gensini index of 34.22 ± 25.73; 29.59 ± 27.76. The average Syntax score was 10.82 ± 9.00; in the group of patients with diabetes and without diabetes, respectively, 14.32 ± 10.12; 8.67 ± 8.24. Significant coronary artery damage was not related to age, sex, obesity, hypertension class, smoking. Patients with dyslipidemia had a rate of coronary artery stenosis of more than 2.78. Hypertensive patients with diabetes had a higher rate of coronary artery damage 4.72 times. In multivariate analysis with two risk factors, both dyslipidemia and diabetes were independent risk factors for coronary stenosis greater than 70%.
Conclusions: Coronary lesions in patients with diabetes were characterized by diffuse, multi - branch, and complex effects. Dyslipidemia and diabetes were two risk factors that independently affect the degree of significant coronary artery injury.
Studying variable in serum apolipoprotein B levels in damaged coronary artery patients
Authors: Ho Binh
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Atherosclerosis is the most important cause of increasing coronary heart disease. When cholesterol LDL-C levels are low, an increase in Apo B is associated with 60% of the cardiovascular risk factors. This study find out the association between serum Apolipoprotein B levels with the degree of coronary artery lesions

Methods: The study consists of 110 patients who were diagnosed with a meaningful damaged coronary artery through angiography at Hoan My Da Nang hospital, from March 2018 to September 2019. Research method: cross-sectional description.

Results: The average value of serum Apo B in group 1 was 133.67 ± 17.56 mg/dl, and in group 2 it was 113.92 ± 16.78 mg/dl. The difference is statistically significant, p < 0.01. Cardiovascular risk factors in the study did not have a meaningful effect on serum Apo B levels. Dyslipidemia does not have a strong correlation with serum Apo B levels. Thereby, it is possible to recognize serum Apo B as an independent indicator along with other cardiovascular risk factors. Serum Apo B levels increase linearly according to the number of damaged coronary artery branches. There is a proportional correlation between serum Apo B levels and the degree of coronary artery lesions (r = 0.48, p < 0.01).

Conclusion: Apo B is associated with the degree of coronary artery lesions.

Authors: Ho Binh
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT

Background: Many studies in Vietnam have shown that there is an increasing number of patients hospitalized due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) with multivessel stenosis and/or with left main stenosis. The SYNTAX score based on the results of percutaneous coronary angiography is valuable for risk stratification of patients requiring coronary revascularization, especially for those with multivessel coronary artery disease, then optimizing the clinicians’ decision on percutaneous coronary intervention or bypass surgery for these patients. This study aims to: (1) investigate some clinical characteristics of ACS patients with multivessel and/or left main coronary artery disease (LMCAD); (2) characterize coronary artery lesions according to SYNTAX score by the results of percutaneous coronary angiography; and (3) evaluate intervention outcomes and in - hospital outcomes of these patients treated by percutaneous coronary intervention.

Methods: 121 patients with three - vessel and/or LMCAD treated at 115 People’s Hospital in Ho Chi Minh city, from July 2019 to July 2020. Research design: retrospective; collecting clinical characteristics, and coronary intervention results during the in - hospital stay.

Results: Mean age 66.03 ± 11.84, male/female ratio 3/1; average total coronary lesions 3.1 ± 1.2 lesions in left anterior descending (LAD) and right coronary artery (RCA), mean SYNTAX score 27.7 ± 6.21; Short - term intervention outcomes: anatomical success 99.2%, procedural success 98.34%, major in - hospital main cardiovascular events including fatal death and other - causes mortality during hospitalization was 2.4%, the cumulative intra - and post - procedure complications was 8.2%.

ABSTRACT

RETROAORTIC LEFT RENAL VEIN: CASE REPORTS

Retroaortic left renal vein (RLRV) is a relatively rare congenital anomaly of renal vasculature. The possible clinical symptoms of this type of vascular varition include hematuria, abdominal or flank pain. The urological symptoms are due to the increased pressure of the left renal vein, which is secondary to posterior nutcracker syndrome. RLRV can be diagnosed by doppler ultrasound, computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging. Although the incidence is low, the diagnosis of this variant is particularly important for surgical implications. Abnormal renal vein can be a significant impact on surgeon, failure to diagnose these anomalies can lead to vascular injury and major bleeding. This report analyzes two clinical cases of incidental finding RLRV in a kidney donor and reviews the literature regarding embryological development, pathogenesis, treatment, and surgical implications for this renal vein variation.
La triple théorie des croyances collectives de Pareto et sa signification actuelle
Authors: Bouvier Alban
Published: June 2023

Dans le Traité de sociologie générale, Pareto a livré sous le nom de « théorie des résidus et des dérivations », une théorie sociologique des croyances collectives encore in statu nascendi, d’où sa relative obscurité. L’auteur de cet article propose de distinguer trois esquisses de théories idéal-typiques nettement différenciées (anthropologique, psychologique et épistémologique), à partir des analogies et exemples présentés par Pareto comme paradigmatiques. Ces trois théories, compatibles entre elles, constituent virtuellement une théorie très intégrative et très puissante, desservie par la polysémie des termes « résidu » et « dérivation » dont le sens varie en fonction des perspectives. L’auteur explicite la signification de cette théorie pluri-perspectiviste au sein des grands débats contemporains en sociologie et en philosophie des sciences sociales.

Résumé À partir des données de l’enquête postélectorale « Youngelect » cet article entend renouveler l’étude des effets du genre sur les comportements électoraux à l’occasion de l’élection présidentielle française de 2022. Il met au cœur de l’analyse les attitudes sexistes, à l’ancienne ou sous leur forme moderne, euphémisée, et adopte une perspective intersectionnelle qui croise genre, âge et classe sociale pour cerner les lignes de clivages politiques internes à l’électorat féminin et masculin. Il conclut à l’absence totale d’impact du genre et du sexisme sur le vote Marine Le Pen. À profils socioculturel et idéologique égaux, électrices et électeurs ont autant voté pour elle et en particulier les jeunes et l’électorat populaire, quel que soit le sexe. En revanche, les positions sexistes et misogynes d’Éric Zemmour ont recréé un radical right gender gap , rebutant les femmes tout en attirant particulièrement des hommes, estimant que le féminisme est allé trop loin dans notre société.
« On lâche rien ». Les demandes populistes en 2022
Authors: Gonthier Frédéric
Published: June 2023

Résumé La littérature sur la normalisation des partis radicaux populistes conduit à penser que ceux-ci ont aujourd’hui fixé un socle d’électeurs loyaux. L’article contribue à cette littérature en examinant la dynamique du lien entre attitudes populistes et préférences électorales à l’occasion de l’élection présidentielle de 2022. Au moyen d’une opérationnalisation empirique originale, on montre d’abord que les individus qui développent des attitudes populistes présentent des probabilités de vote exclusives et stables dans le temps, en faveur de Jean-Luc Mélenchon pour les uns et de Marine Le Pen pour les autres. On montre ensuite que les deux demandes populistes se caractérisent par une forte continuité entre probabilités de vote et votes effectifs, ainsi qu’entre votes aux présidentielles de 2017 et 2022. Ces résultats corroborent la thèse selon laquelle l’installation des partis populistes et de leurs thématiques dans la compétition politique concourt à stabiliser et à aligner les votes des électeurs populistes.
La droite faible

Published: June 2023

Résumé Cet article se propose d’étudier les résultats de la droite à l’élection présidentielle de 2022 à l’aune de la problématique du réalignement électoral. Il montre que l’électorat de Valérie Pécresse a conservé la même structure sociodémographique que celui de François Fillon, mais que le cœur sociologique de la droite lui a largement préféré Emmanuel Macron tandis que le reste de l’électorat s’est plutôt tourné vers l’extrême droite. La capacité d’attraction des Républicains semble aujourd’hui réduite à un noyau idéologiquement conservateur, confirmant le réalignement électoral qui s’est opéré au sein de la droite à l’occasion des élections de 2017 et 2022.

Published: June 2023

Le premier confinement a amené des ruptures dans la vie des Français, notamment dans les pratiques d’activités physiques et sportives (APS). Pour mieux les documenter, l’objectif de cette étude est de questionner, chez les 18-35 ans, les évolutions des pratiques des APS, ainsi que leurs relations avec la motivation et les affects, entre deux périodes : avant et pendant le premier confinement en France. Une étude en méthodes mixtes a été menée. Un questionnaire diffusé en ligne à 451 personnes a permis d’évaluer les modalités et types de pratiques d’APS, les motivations pour pratiquer, avant et pendant le confinement, complété, pour un échantillon de 15 personnes, par un entretien téléphonique questionnant l’influence de ces changements sur les affects. Une diminution du nombre de séances hebdomadaires d’APS, de leurs durées et leurs intensités a été observée. En parallèle, le nombre de non-pratiquants a augmenté. Le nombre de pratiquants a augmenté pour les sports de la forme et de la gymnastique, mais a diminué dans presque toutes les autres APS. Globalement, les participants avaient moins de motivations pour pratiquer pendant le confinement. L’augmentation de la pratique d’APS s’accompagnait de sentiments affectifs positifs, alors que sa diminution s’accompagnait de sentiments affectifs négatifs.

Published: June 2023

In recent years, the industrial network has seen a number of high-impact attacks. To counter these threats, several security systems have been implemented to detect attacks on industrial networks. However, these systems solely address issues once they have already transpired and do not proactively prevent them from occurring in the first place. The identification of malicious attacks is crucial for industrial networks, as these attacks can lead to system malfunctions, network disruptions, data corruption, and the theft of sensitive information. To ensure the effectiveness of detection in industrial networks, which necessitate continuous operation and undergo changes over time, intrusion detection algorithms should possess the capability to automatically adapt to these changes. Several researchers have focused on the automatic detection of these attacks, in which deep learning (DL) and machine learning algorithms play a prominent role. This study proposes a hybrid model that combines two DL algorithms, namely convolutional neural networks (CNN) and deep belief networks (DBN), for intrusion detection in industrial networks. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed model, we utilized the Multi-Step Cyber Attack (MSCAD) dataset and employed various evaluation metrics.
De l’incident de terrain à l’écriture de l’évocation
Authors: Vionnet Claire
Published: June 2023

S’appuyant sur un terrain auprès de chorégraphes contemporains, cet article propose une réflexion sur la destination et les formes des écrits anthropologiques. Que se passe-t-il lorsque les textes ethnographiques sont lus par nos interlocuteurs et interlocutrices de terrain ? À la suite d’un différend avec l’une des chorégraphes, l’autrice développe une écriture déontologique qui cherche à réduire la violence épistémique de la relation enquêteur-enquêté. Des propositions textuelles visant à amenuiser cette violence sont déployées pour un texte ethnographique plus éthique et collaboratif : un rapport à la théorie de la danse qui soit symétrique plutôt que subordonné, la négociation de termes communs, une écriture fondée sur la notion d’évocation plutôt que celle de représentation et, enfin, une écriture sensorielle, phénoménologique et autoethnographique.
Le processus de « fragmentation + imbrication » du travail salarié et domestique : des attentes sociales sexuées en enseignement préscolaire et primaire
Authors: Bilodeau Karine , Giguère Émilie , St-Arnaud Louise
Published: June 2023

Cet article explore l’organisation du temps de travail des femmes qui s’intègrent en éducation préscolaire et en enseignement primaire. Il s’appuie sur la sociologie des rapports sociaux de sexe pour comprendre la part invisible du travail (salarié et domestique). Cette recherche qualitative s’appuie sur des données narratives basées sur des entretiens individuels et collectifs et sur une méthode d’inspiration « photovoix ». Notre échantillon comprend vingt-cinq enseignantes du préscolaire et du primaire exerçant au Québec. Les résultats montrent les débordements du travail domestique et salarié des enseignantes et le processus de « fragmentation + imbrication » permettant de les invisibiliser de l’organisation du travail. Ils montrent également comment ce processus est normalisé, créant un double rapport d’exploitation du travail des femmes dans ce métier traditionnellement féminin. Enfin, les résultats soulèvent la nécessité de reconceptualiser l’organisation du temps de travail salarié et domestique pour mieux appréhender l’intégration et le maintien au travail.

Published: June 2023

Cette recherche vise à repérer les facteurs qui participent à des choix d’orientation de 2 299 lycéens en terminale au moment de l’élaboration de leurs vœux pour Parcoursup en France, en se centrant en particulier sur l’auto-efficacité vocationnelle (AEV) et des variables vocationnelles qui sont liées. Une classification hiérarchique descendante menée sur les réponses aux items d’une échelle d’AEV identifie quatre classes qui se différencient sur ces scores d’auto-efficacité. Les analyses des profils dégagent différentes variables vocationnelles supplémentaires qui sont sur-représentées ou sous-représentées dans ces classes et qui peuvent être interprétées comme des sources de l’AEV, telles les expériences d’exploration antérieures et les soutiens sociaux des parents, des pairs et de professionnels. Certaines modalités relatives à la recherche d’informations et aux prises de décision discriminent les classes en y étant sous ou sur-représentées. Des implications pour la recherche et la pratique sont discutées.
Studio osservazionale in merito alla validitÃ della Canadian C-Spine Rule in ambito extra ospedaliero
Authors: Bravi NicolÃ² , Marchetti Lara , Musolesi Stefano
Published: June 2023

Introduzione: In ambito extra ospedaliero Ã¨ pratica comune applicare un collare cervicale ad ogni soggetto vittima di trauma. Per molti di loro tale pratica puÃ² rappresentare un trattamento eccessivo e in alcuni casi un evento avverso, inoltre puÃ² portare a svolgere superflui esami diagnostici. In considerazione degli sviluppi scientifici Ã¨ opportuno chiedersi se lâ€™utilizzo â€˜routinarioâ€™ del collare cervicale debba essere riconsiderato. Obiettivo: Analizzare lâ€™appropriatezza della Canadian C-Spine Rule (CCR) come elemento predittivo per lâ€™utilizzo o meno del collare cervicale. Metodi: Eâ€™ stata effettuata un'indagine retrospettiva sui pazienti ammessi al Pronto Soccorso degli ospedali di Ravenna, Cesena e San Marino dal 1 Aprile 2017 al 31 Agosto 2017. I pazienti giunti in Pronto Soccorso, vittime di trauma a cui era stato posizionato il collare cervicale, sono stati sopposti a una valutazione Canadian C-Spine Rule (CCR) al fine di verificarne la sua appropriatezza. Risultati: 156 soggetti sono rientrati nei criteri proposti dalla Canadian C-Spine Rule (CCR) e nessuno ha riportato lesioni significative; se fosse stata applicata in ambito extra ospedaliero, la scala di valutazione sarebbe risultata sicura come verificato dalla successiva indagine radiologica. Conclusioni: I risultati di questo studio confermano quanto riportato dalla letteratura esistente. La Canadian C-Spine Rule (CCR) si conferma essere un valido strumento in grado di differenziare i pazienti traumatizzati che necessitano del collare cervicale in ambito extra ospedaliero o di ulteriori indagini diagnostiche in ambito ospedaliero. Lâ€™utilizzo della CCR richiede personale addestrato, migliora il comfort e puÃ² ridurre lâ€™esecuzione di indagini diagnostiche.

Published: June 2023

The holy month of Ramadan brings many changes to the lifestyle of Muslims. The effect of these changes on patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) is not well studied. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of Ramadan on the clinical and metabolic profile of non-fasting patients with ESRD who were maintained on hemodialysis (HD) in the eastern region of Saudi Arabia. A single-center prospective longitudinal study of patients with ESRD who were maintained on HD at a major community hospital in Eastern Saudi Arabia. The patients adopted the lifestyle and dietary changes typically associated with Ramadan in Eastern Saudi Arabia. Measurements included body weight, blood pressure, interdialytic weight gain, serum potassium, serum phosphorus, and serum albumin at the beginning and the end of Ramadan. The development of fluid overload and hyperkalemia was monitored. Seventy patients with ESRD who were maintained on HD were screened and 18 patients were identified to meet the inclusion criteria. There were no differences in patients’ weight, interdialytic weight gain, or blood pressure at the beginning and end of Ramadan. Laboratory parameters, including serum potassium, serum phosphorus, and serum albumin, showed no significant changes either; and there were no emergency encounters for fluid overload or hyperkalemia. Lifestyle and dietary changes during the fasting month of Ramadan did not result in significant clinical or laboratory differences among non-fasting HD patients in Eastern Saudi Arabia.

Published: June 2023

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) and dementia are common morbidities of elders. Serum cystatin C has been suggested to be an ideal marker for kidney function. The current study aimed to detect the serum levels of cystatin C in CKD patients and to correlate these levels to cognitive performance. The study involved 90 subjects aged 65 years and more, divided into two groups: Group 1: 60 patients with CKD, and Group 2: 30 control participants. Exclusion criteria included cardiac failure, hepatic failure, thyroid diseases, dialysis for more than one month, polycystic kidney disease, organ transplantation, and immunosuppressive therapy within the past six months. All participants had routine laboratory workup, serum cystatin C using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay kits, and cognitive assessment using mini-mental state examination (MMSE). Serum cystatin level was significantly high in CKD patients while MMSE scores were significantly lower in CKD patients. A high significant negative correlation was found between serum cystatin C levels and both degree of cognitive impairment and glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Also, a significant positive correlation was found between the degree of cognitive impairment and GFR levels. Serum cystatin levels are significantly associated with cognitive impairment in CKD patients, and this correlation becomes more evident with the worsening of CKD stages. That may help in better understanding of the pathogenesis of dementia in CKD patients with the emergence of therapeutic options depending on these data.

Published: June 2023

OBJECTIVES: This study examined the association between lack of compensation for COVID-19-related overtime work (LCCOW) and burnout among emergency medical service (EMS) providers in Seoul, Korea.METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional survey of 693 EMS providers in Seoul, Korea. Participants were classified into 3 groups according to their experience of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related overtime work and LCCOW: (1) “did not experience,” (2) “experienced and was compensated,” and (3) “experienced and was not compensated.” Burnout was measured using the Korean version of the Copenhagen Burnout Inventory, which has 3 subdomains: personal burnout (PB), work-related burnout (WRB), and citizen-related burnout (CRB). Multiple linear regression was applied to examine whether LCCOW was associated with burnout after adjusting for potential confounders.RESULTS: In total, 74.2% of participants experienced COVID-19-related overtime work, and 14.6% of those who worked overtime experienced LCCOW. COVID-19-related overtime work showed a statistically non-significant association with burnout. However, the association differed by LCCOW. Compared to the “did not experience” group, the “experienced and was not compensated” group was associated with PB (β=10.519; 95% confidence interval [CI], 3.455 to 17.584), WRB (β=10.339; 95% CI, 3.398 to 17.280), and CRB (β=12.290; 95% CI, 6.900 to 17.680), whereas no association was observed for the “experienced and was compensated” group. Furthermore, an analysis restricted to EMS providers who worked overtime due to COVID-19 showed that LCCOW was associated with PB (β=7.970; 95% CI, 1.064 to 14.876), WRB (β=7.276; 95% CI, 0.270 to 14.283), and CRB (β=10.000; 95% CI, 3.435 to 16.565).CONCLUSIONS: This study suggests that LCCOW could be critical in worsening burnout among EMS providers who worked overtime due to COVID-19.
Molecular modeling and thermodynamics of the interaction between DNA base pairs and radon originated ionizing alpha radiation
Authors: BAYAR Çağlar
Published: June 2023

Ionizing alpha radiation (He2+) is known to adversely affect human DNA, but the biochemical reasoning is not clear yet. Relatedly, the present computational study was conducted investigating the effects of ionizing alpha radiation onto the Watson-Crick type DNA base pairs (nucleotides) Adenine-Thymine (AT’) and Guanine-Cytosine (GC’). The long-range cation (He2+)−π interactions were modeled for this purpose. A hybrid DFT functional of M06-2X was used with 6-31G(d,p) and 6-311G(d) basis sets at unrestricted level. The results showed that alpha radiation severely changed the considered base pairs’ hydrogen bond lengths and their interaction enthalpies and Gibbs free energies, however, the more drastic changes were observed in GC’ rather than AT’. This observation was also supported by frontier molecular orbital analyses performed. GC’ was more favored to form He2+ complexes (oxidize) than AT’ and consequently these complexes had more exothermic interaction energies (formed more spontaneously) than that of AT’. It could be highlighted that the molecular modeling proposed in this study would contribute to the elucidation of the uncertainty in this field.

Longevity toxicity after chronic α -endosulfan exposure in wild population of Drosophila melanogaster Oregon-R (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
Authors: UYSAL Handan
Published: June 2023

The rapid increase in the world population causes different problems such as nutrition and shelter. In this case, people brutally destroy arable land to shelter, and concretization is rapidly spreading. In addition, it is necessary to increase the amount of products to be taken from the limited agricultural areas for the food needs of the increasing population. The decrease in agricultural areas appears as a factor that reduces the amount of product taken from the unit area. In addition, weeds and especially insects reduce the yield, storage, and marketing quality of products obtained from restricted areas. This type of plant products can also be considered a disease carrier vector in the food chain. To increase the yield, various insecticides have been developed against target organisms such as insects and one of these insecticides is α-endosulfan. However, non-target organisms living in the same ecosystem can also be affected by all these insecticides.

In the present study, it was researched whether the chronic α-endosulfan application has an effect on longevity in non-target organisms. According to the data obtained, α-endosulfan shortened the maximum and mean lifespan in both male and female populations of the Oregon-R wild strain of Drosophila melanogaster based on dose-time interaction. The shortening observed in life span for both populations was statistically significant (p

Uzun geçmişe, köklü bir kültür ve medeniyete sahip olan Uygur Türkleri, tarih boyunca dünya medeniyetine büyük katkı sağlamıştır. Ancak Uygur Türklerinin 1949 yılında bağımsızlıklarını kaybetmeleri ve Çin Komünizminin baskısına maruz kalmaları dolayısıyla bu durum siyasi ve ekonomik alanda olduğu gibi kültürel ve edebî hayatlarını oldukça etkilemiştir.

ÇİN ATASÖZLERİNDE KADINA YÖNELİK CİNSİYET AYRIMCILIĞI VE ŞİDDET
Authors: Eruygur Adilcan
Published: June 2023

Bir kültürün önemli unsuru olan dilde atasözleri önemli yer tutmaktadır. Atasözleri bir ulusun yaşam tarzlarını, ideolojilerini, dünya görüşünü, toplumsal ve ahlaki normlarını, değer yargılarını yansıtması bakımından çok önemli içeriklere haizdir. Atasözleri, toplumdaki tüm kesimleri kapsadığı gibi kadınları da kendi bünyesine alır. Atasözlerinin bir kısmı kadınları çeşitli şekillerde tasvir eder ve onların genel özelliklerini ortaya koyar. Çin toplumunun ataerkil kültüre, Çince’nin ise bir cinsiyetçi dil olduğu konusunda yaygın kanaat vardır. Literatürde dilsel cinsiyetçilik diye adlandırılan bu dilsel olay, Çin atasözlerinde mevcuttur. Çin atasözlerinde kadınlara karşı kullanılan hakaretlerin sayısı erkeklere karşı kullanılanlardan daha fazladır. Cinsiyetle ilgili bu atasözlerinin birçoğu “erkek üstünlüğü ve kadın aşağılığı” ve “erkek efendi, kadın hizmetkâr” formülüyle ile karakterize edilir. Buna paralel olarak Çin atasözlerinde kadınlara yönelik cinsiyet ayrımcılığı ve şiddet fikri bariz bir şekilde kendi göstermektedir. Betimsel analiz yöntemi kullanılan bu çalışmamızda Çin atasözlerine yansıyan kadınlara yönelik cinsiyetçilik, diğer ifadeyle cinsiyet ayrımcılığı ve bunun doğal sonucu olan şiddet olgusu toplumsal cinsiyet açısından incelenmekle beraber, bu durumun günümüz Çin toplumundaki kadınlara ve Çin hükümetinin Uygur kadınlarına yönelik politikasına nasıl yansıdığı ortaya konulmuştur.
T’A-TA TONGA’NIN ETNİK KÖKENİ VE MOĞOL DEVLET İDARESİNDEKİ ROLÜ
Authors: Usul Dilber
Published: June 2023

“Büyük Moğol İmparatorluğu”’nun kurulma aşamasında idari, askerî ve sosyal sistemlerini oluştururken Türk etkisinde kalındığı dolayısıyla da Uygurların kilit rol oynadığı konusunda bilim insanları arasında fikir birliği vardır. Bu anlayış ve idrakle devletin kurucusu Cengiz Han ve ardılları, bu alanlarda bilgili ve yetenekli Uygurları, üst mevkilere getirmiş ve onların tecrübelerinden yararlanmasını bilmişlerdir. Moğol idari sisteminde çoğunluğu oluşturan Uygurlar, yönetici olarak önemli roller üstlenmişler ve dönemin seçkin bir parçasını oluşturmuşlardır. Akıllıca alınmış kararlar sayesinde Moğollar, kabile hayatından kurtulmuş, tarihte önemli bir yere sahip olabilmişlerdir.
Devlet kurma ve idare etme tecrübesine sahip Uygurlar, Moğol efendilerine seferlerde eşlik eden askerî lider ve sivil idareciler olarak pek çok alanda ve görevde istenen çok güvenilir bir model olmuşlardı. Aynı zamanda dil, yazı, edebiyat, hukuk, sanat ve ticaret gibi konularda da adını duyuran Uygurlar, bu anlamda, yazma ve okur-yazarlık tekniklerinde uzmanlaşmış, bir tür teknolog işlevi görmüşler ve Moğol hizmetine giren herhangi bir uzman veya zanaatkâr gibi çalışmışlardır. Diğer taraftan kendi yazı sistemleri ve dillerini Moğol hanlarına, kraliçelerine ve prenslerine öğreterek onları güçlü konumlara getirmişlerdir.
O dönemde aynı coğrafyada yaşayan Naymanlar, Kerayitler ve Karahitaylar da okur-yazardı hatta muhtemelen kendi dillerinden başka birden çok dil biliyorlardı. Cengiz Han, 1204 civarında Naymanları yendi ve T’a-ta Tonga adlı kâtibi esir aldı. T’a-ta Tonga, 12. yüzyılın sonunda ve 13. yüzyılın başlarında Türk-Nayman kabilesinin mühürdarı ve veziri idi. Uygur dilini, yazısını, hukukunu ve mührü/damgayı Moğollara tanıtması ve uygulamasıyla bilinen T’a-ta Tonga, hem Türk hem de Moğol tarihinin önemli şahsiyetlerinden biridir.
Moğolların hizmetine giren ilk Türk olarak kabul edilen T’a-ta Tonga, kimi tarihî kaynaklarda Nayman, kimisinde de Uygur olarak geçer. Bu sebeple T’a-ta Tonga’nın asıl etnik kökeninin ne olduğuna dair sorunun cevabını bulmak, çalışmanın amacıdır. Uygurların sınır komşusu ve Uygur kültürüne hâkim Naymanların kuvvetle muhtemel aslen Uygur Türkü olabileceği düşüncesiyle çalışma, bu doğrultuda ele alınacaktır.

Advocacy and Management of Diversity and Inclusivity in Organizations
Authors: Yalamarti Radha Pavitra
Published: June 2023

Our study examines the definitions of these two terms and seeks to comprehend the significance that both Diversity and Inclusion hold in workplace organizations since the old term "Diversity" has been replaced by the new term "Inclusion". In today's organizations, diversity and inclusion (D&I) are fundamental values. Miscommunication is a constant result of people using the same words but not always meaning the same thing. Is diversity management just another popular idea like teamwork, cutting costs, or re-engineering? Diversity should be of importance to organizations since it presents a new problem for them to tackle. There is little doubt that the majority of organizations have already dealt with or will eventually deal with the issue of diversity, notably in the area of personnel diversity. Understanding and valuing individual differences is the first step in managing diversity. It improves efficient management techniques by preventing prejudice and encouraging inclusivity. Even with competent management, it may be challenging for someone to work well with a varied group. The modern definition of workplace diversity is more inclusive and takes into account character, maturity, aesthetics, aptitudes, schooling, experience, etc., in addition to conventional considerations. This is in contrast to the earlier definition, which could only be used to describe representations of various ethnic, gender, and religious origins. The current emphasis on workplace diversity is on promoting originality within an organisation and understanding that every person may offer something exceptional to the company.
Impacto de la rehabilitación neuropsicológica computarizada en un paciente con anemia de células falciformes y TDAH. Estudio experimental de caso único
Authors: Pérez Pereira Juan Pablo , Cuartas Arias Jorge Mauricio
Published: June 2023

Introducción. La anemia de células falciformes (ACF) es una enfermedad genética que provoca una malformación en el glóbulo rojo, volviéndolo más frágil y desencadenando su lisis. Por su forma anómala predispone a eventos oclusivos en vasos de menor tamaño, incluyendo aquellos en el sistema nervioso central. La literatura documenta presencia de infartos cerebrales silentes y no silentes asociados a ACF, con sus respectivas alteraciones cognitivas. En los últimos años se ha reportado que existe compromiso cognitivo y mayor presencia de trastornos del neurodesarrollo, como el trastorno por déficit de atención e hiperactividad (TDAH) en aquellos niños con ACF que aún no han tenido eventos cerebrales isquémicos.
Método. Se llevó a cabo un estudio experimental y prospectivo de caso único, que consistió en un programa de rehabilitación por medio de la plataforma de entrenamiento cognitivo para la atención y concentración de CogniFit. Durante 45 sesiones, se realizaron mediciones de respuestas en atención y control inhibitorio, utilizando la Batería de Evaluación Cognitiva para la Atención (CAB-AT).
Resultados. Se observó que la intervención tuvo un impacto significativo en el componente de atención, el cual se mantuvo por encima de la línea de base, incluso después de suspender la intervención. Sin embargo, no se encontró un impacto importante en el control inhibitorio.
Conclusión. Aunque la intervención mejoró la atención, no lo hizo con el control inhibitorio. Se recomienda complementar la rehabilitación con manejo farmacológico y diseñar nuevos estudios con poblaciones heterogéneas.
