Monte-Christo in Modern Greek and the Ottoman context
Authors: Kappler Matthias
Published: January 2023

The version of Le Comte de Monte-Christo in Modern Greek (O Κόμης του Μοντεχρίστου), translated by the Constantinopolitan Greek teacher Ioannis Patroklos, and published between 1845 and 1846 in five volumes by the French printing-house Cayol in Beyoğlu, occupies a special place in the translation and adaptation history of Dumas’s novel in the “East”, as it was translated almost parallelly to the first publication of the original French work serialized in Le journal des débats (1844-46). It thus represents the very first “entry” of the novel to the multicultural Ottoman literary panorama, though it soon fell into oblivion being outpaced by another translation that appeared in the 1860s in Athens. The contribution tackles the reception of European prose literature among Greek readers in the Hellenic Kingdom and the Ottoman Empire during the nineteenth century, referring especially to the works of Alexandre Dumas père, it further presents the first Greek translation of Le Comte de Monte-Christo and its translator Ioannis Patroklos, and, eventually, it analyzes selected issues of language and cultural transfer related to the denotative concepts of “Greek”. Patroklos’s largely “faithful” translation can be put into a foreignizing and didactic framework corresponding to the educational background of the translator.

Key words: literary translation, modern Greek novel, Ottoman Greek society, Alexandre Dumas père.
Count of Monte-Cristo
Authors: Trinchero Cristina
Published: January 2023

(article forthcoming)
Everybody knows something about Alexandre Dumas père’s The Count of Monte-Cristo, undoubtedly one of the most translated and read novels all over the world. Yet, the author and the book itself have generated controversial comments and reactions.
Is it a real literary masterwork or − consequently to its first publication in the form of a roman feuilleton − must it be considered as an example of 19th century littérature industrielle? Which is the difference between a popular − in the sense of successful − roman feuilleton and the littérature populaire? Why was (and still is) it so familiar among common readers and why was (and still is) it so much investigated by critics?
This paper will propose an outlook of the popular acclaim and of the critical reception of The Count of Monte-Cristo in France and in Italy, since its publication up to the present times. It will examine the “presence” of Monte-Cristo in French and Italian literature, in prose writing and in drama, with the aim to identify the reasons for its fame as well as Dumas’ literary strategies which allowed to shape an authentic myth both in popular and in cultivated imagery.

Reading Ahmet Mithat’s Hasan Mellâh yahut Sır İçinde Esrar as an Adaptation of Le Comte de Monte-Cristo
Authors: Topçuoğlu Arif Can
Published: January 2023

(forthcoming article)

The Ottoman Empire witnessed the occurrence of fundamental changes in different areas during the 19th century. Especially along the founding of the Translation Office in 1833, many Western, mostly French, works had been translated into Ottoman Turkish and thus, the ongoing interaction with the West had peaked. Those translated works became very popular among the readers in the society and consequently they affected Ottoman literary production. Many authors started translating the popular novels from the Western literature and many of them started writing novels under the influence of them. Alexandre Dumas (pére)’s well-known novel Le Comte de Monte-Cristo was one the popular novels translated into Ottoman language by Teodor Kasap in 1872. The novel had an extraordinary impact on the Ottoman literature on both the readers and the authors. Ahmet Mithat who was prominent figure of 19th century Ottoman literature wrote his novel Hasan Mellâh Yahut Sır İçinde Esrar as an emulation to Le Comte de Monte-Cristo. In this paper, I will try to analyze Ahmet Mithat’s novel Hasan Mellâh as an adaptation of Le Comte de Monte-Cristo. To do so, I aim at showing what Ahmet Mithat had changed during this adaptation process and how he made these alterations. At the end, going beyond that, I will try to show the ideological function of this adaptation.

Published: January 2023

In this work, cobalt(II/III) oxide (Co3O4) nano/microflowers were practically synthesized in laboratory conditions. Adsorbence properties of the nanoflowers were investigated for the removal of cadmium and chromium heavy metal ions. To assess the chemical and morphological characteristics of Co3O4 nanoflowers, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), field emission electron microscopy (FESEM), Energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and was used. To determine the adsorbence mechanism in detail, eluent concentration, eluent type, solution pH, adsorbent amount, solution volume, and adsorption duration were studied. In these assessments, flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS) was used. For Cr6+, adsorption optimum parameters were determined as 3M HNO3, pH 6.5, 150mg, 30mL, 60min. For Cd2+, optimum parameters were determined as 3M HNO3, pH 6.0, 100mg, 10mL, 30min. Co3O4, nanoflowers are eco-friendly adsorbent materials for the adsorption of Cd6+ and Cd2+ heavy metal ions since the production method is affordable and practical.

Published: January 2023

El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar el estado nutrimental de Teca en una plantación forestal con fines comerciales bajo condiciones edafoclimáticas específicas y manejo silvícola, con la finalidad de generar información de utilidad respecto a sus requerimientos nutrimentales en sus primeros años de establecimiento. La investigación consideró una plantación de 2 años ubicada en el Estado de Nayarit. Para el diagnóstico nutrimental se hizo muestreo foliar, colectando hojas en la parte superior e inferior respectivamente. En dichas muestras se evaluó el contenido de macro (N, P, K, Ca y Mg) y micronutrimentos (Cu, Zn, Mn y Fe). Adicionalmente se realizaron muestreos compuestos de suelo en las parcelas evaluadas, para analizar pH, capacidad de intercambio catiónico, textura, conductividad eléctrica, cationes intercambiables (Ca, Mg, K), materia orgánica, fósforo. Para la evaluación dasométrica se midieron dos variables, altura del árbol y DAP. Mediante un análisis estadístico discriminante se evaluó que las concentraciones foliares de Ca, Mg y Mn fueron los más importantes para clasificar a las parcelas. Se encontró una correlación entre P y K con respecto a la altura y el DAP respectivamente. El P y K podrían ejecutar un papel importante en el crecimiento de Teca en Nayarit. El contenido de K estuvo por debajo de los niveles considerados como mínimos para un adecuado desarrollo, lo que significa que los requerimientos de esta especie en dicha plantación estuvieron cubiertos con cantidades menores a las reportadas principalmente al crecimiento del DAP. La concentración foliar mostró que todos los nutrientes determinados fueron suficientes para cubrir la demanda durante los primeros años de establecimiento de las plantaciones de Teca; estos resultados, son de gran relevancia para apoyar la toma de decisiones en materia de manejo de la fertilidad para plantaciones comerciales de esta especie.

Authors: ASLAN Sefer
Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT

Objective: We aimed to show the presence of muscle-joint pain and malaise among the symptoms persisting following Covid-19 disease in regions where brucellosis is endemic.

Methods: Fifteen PCR-positive patients diagnosed with Covid-19 after 1 April, 2020, in our hospital and with persisting muscle-joint pain, and testing positive with Brucella agglutination and/or Coombs agglutination 1/160 or above were included in the study.

Results: Six (40%) of the patients in the study were male and nine (60%) were female. Males were between the ages of 31-69 and had a median value of 52, while females were between the ages of 38-57 and had a median value of 43. Muscle-joint pain, malaise, fatigue, fever, and sweating were frequently seen symptoms. Time to onset of symptoms in the post-Covid period ranged between seven and 220 days.

Conclusion:We think that brucellosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients diagnosed with Covid-19 in endemic regions ad presenting to hospital with symptoms of muscle-joint pain and malaise after treatment.

Authors: VARIŞLI Behçet , AKMAN Canan , YILDIRIM Sinan , ATAÇ Kenan , ÇAKIR Okan
Published: January 2023

Introduction:
Drug intoxications may be associated with accidental or suicidal ingestion of toxic agents. In both cases, emergency treatment includes administration of the relevant antidote and gastric decontamination. If necessary, patients are followed up in wards and intensive care units, whereas a group of patients are discharged directly from the emergency department.
Materials and Methods:
The aim of this study was to conduct a retrospective evaluation of examination findings, laboratory investigations, duration of treatments, psychiatric follow-up studies, hospitalization rates and mortality rates in patients admitted to our emergency department due to drug intoxication between 2017 and 2018.
Results:
Of the 126 patients included in our study, 83 were female, with a mean age of 33.58 ± 13.58 years and a range of 18 to 92 years. Of all patients, 76 were hospitalized in the ward and 1 in the intensive care unit, while 49 were treated in the emergency department. One patient had mortality on the eighth day of hospitalization. Eighty-six patients had been on psychiatric treatment prior to admission, whereas 82 patients were referred to the psychiatry department after admission. The rate of psychiatric consultation was significantly higher in patients who were hospitalized in any department due to drug intoxication than in patients who were discharged directly from the emergency department (p <0.001).
Conclusion:
Drug intoxications continue to be a growing problem for physicians working in emergency departments in Turkey as well as in the world. The incidence of drug intoxications was higher in patients who had previously applied to psychiatry outpatient clinics than those who had not. Our study highlighted the shortcomings of physicians in emergency departments in referring this patient group to the psychiatry department. There is a duty for health professionals in emergency departments to direct patients to receive adequate psychosocial support.
Potentiation of Cell Death and DNA Damage Through 5-Fluorouracil and Ferulic Acid Coadministration in p53 Mutant HT-29 Cell Lines
Authors: KAMÇI Hamdi
Published: January 2023

When the Mediterranean diet is set in focus, scientific studies report a strong statistical correlation between human nutrition, diet, and cancer incidence. Considering the anticancer effects of a fiber-rich diet, it is understood that the anticancer effect is not only due to the bulk cellulosic material load but also related to the increased bioavailability of cellulose-bound bioactive (anticancer) compounds released due to intestinal microfloral activities. Ferulic acid (FA) is one of the components found ubiquitously in the fiber fraction of plant food. Because of its effects on cancer cell viability and its association with a low incidence of cancer concerning a high-fiber diet, FA can be considered an anticancer agent. Here in this work, it was investigated whether FA can potentiate the effects of anticancer drugs at lower doses. For this, a general anticancer drug named 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) was used, and potentiation tests were performed on two cancer cell lines, namely A2780 besides HT-29, which has the homozygous mutation for p53. The results are interpreted as follows: anticancer effect of 5-FU was readily potentiated with 200 µM of FA in both cancer cell lines, and DNA damage-induced with 5-FU was enhanced with co-administration of FA. When cell viability and DNA damage of A2780 and HT-29 lines are evaluated together, we think it is most probable that 5-FU and FA administered jointly show its anticancer effect, especially by strengthening the apoptosis pathway triggered by DNA damage.

If it might be possible to uncover the mechanism that drove DNA damage mediated apoptosis in p53 mutant HT-29 cells in our work we may shed light on the treatment of chemotherapy-resistant cancer incidences.

Published: January 2023

ABSTRACT Aim: Loss of balance can be seen in idiopathic Parkinson's disease (IPD) There are only a few studies in the literature in which brainstem involvement in IPD has been researched with neurophysiological tests such as vestibular evoked myogenic potential (VEMP). In this study, it was investigated whether there is a difference in the results of VEMP testing in early or late stage of IPD. Material and method: The IPD cases were classified as early stage and late stage according to the Hoehn-Yahr scale. The presence of a positive wave with a latency of P13 and a negative wave with a latency of N23 was investigated as the first reflex response The latencies of these potentials and the absolute amplitude of the P13-N23 component were measured. The VEMP results of the patients with early and late stage IPD were compared with those of the control group. Results: The right P13 latency mean value in the late stage patient group was significantly prolonged than in the early stage patient group and the control group. The right P13-N23 amplitude mean value of the late and early stage patient groups was significantly smaller than that of the control group (p < 0.002 and p < 0.001, respectively). Among the patients with IPD, the P13 latency was statistically increased in those with a fall history than in those without a fall history. In conclusion, this study indicates that the VEMP pathway is affected over time especially in patients with late stage Parkinson’s disease.

Published: January 2023

Aim: In this study, the Turkish version of the American Diabetes Association (ADA) prediabetes risk test and the 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were administered to patients to determine the rate of prediabetic patients in our geographical region and investigate its consistency with the ADA risk test. In addition, the presence of retinopathy in prediabetic patients was examined.

Material and Method:

The study included a total of 342 patients with a fasting plasma glucose value of 100-125 mg/dl. The 75-g OGTT test was performed on the patients. The ADA prediabetes risk test was also administered, and the scores were noted. The OGTT and risk test results were compared. According to the ADA prediabetes risk test, the patients were classified into those at risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and those diagnosed with prediabetes. In the evaluation of retinopathy, visual acuity, intraocular pressure measurement, and anterior segment and fundus examinations were performed in each patient. The data of the patients were compared with statistical analysis methods.

Results: When the OGTT results of the patients with negative ADA prediabetes risk test scores were compared, the sensitivity was determined as 54% and the specificity as 63% (p0.05). There was no retinopathy finding in the eye examination of 262 of the 342 patients included in the study (p>0.05).

Conclusion: In this study, we found that a positive ADA prediabetes risk score was effective in predicting prediabetes, but it was not sufficient. However, prediabetes diagnosed according to OGTT was found to be higher in the patients with negative test scores. Therefore, the prediabetes risk test was not effective in predicting prediabetes among the patients with negative scores.

This study was aimed at determining the proximate composition and the effects of two coagulants in the production of local cheese known as Awara using soybean and cow milk. Cow milk cheese using the tamarind coagulant had the highest weight at 492.7 g followed by cow milk cheese using the corn steeped liquor which was 484.3 g, while soybean cheese weighed 347.7 g and 323.4 g for tamarind and corn steeped liquor respectively. The results revealed a significant difference in the effect of different coagulants on the proximate composition of the cheese produced. Soybean cheese had the highest moisture content of (20.04 ± 0.015%) and (18.15± 0.13%), crude fiber (10.01 ± 0.01%) and (12.17 ± 0.15%), crude protein (10.33± 0.08%) and (7.88± 0.05%) and carbohydrate (46.78 ± 0.11%) and (49.16 ± 0.06%) while cow milk had the highest ash content (5.03 ± 0.03%) and (5.03 ±0.04%) and crude fat of (21.32 ± 0.28%) and (20.28 ± 0.25%) for corn steeped liquor and tamarind coagulants respectively. The sensory evaluation revealed that cheese produced from soybeans using the corn stepped liquor had the highest acceptability of 8.63±0.01, followed by cheese produced from cow milk using the corn steeped liquor 8.37±0.43, cow milk cheese using tamarind 7.50±0.54 and the cheese produced from soybeans had the least acceptability of 7.40±0.25. The results showed that cheeses made from soybeans with different coagulants were the most nutritious because they retained more of the product's nutritional content.

Authors: Radkowski Paweł , Grond Stefan , Brunner Horst , Wolska Joanna , Dawidowska-Fidrych Justyna , Ruść Jakub , Podhorodecka Katarzyna
Published: January 2023

Background: Electromyography can be used for quantitative neuromuscular monitoring during general anesthesia, mostly using the stimulation train-of-four (TOF) pattern. Relaxometry measures the muscular response of the adductor pollicis muscle to electrical stimulation of the ulnar nerve, which is routinely used in clinical practices for monitoring the neuromuscular block. However, when it is not always possible to be used for all patients, the posterior tibial nerve is a suitable alternative. Objectives: Using electromyography, we compared the neuromuscular block between the ulnar and the posterior tibial nerves. Methods: In this study, the participants were 110 patients who met inclusion criteria and submitted their written consent. Following the administration of cisatracurium intravenously, the patients had relaxometry performed simultaneously on the ulnar and the posterior tibial nerves using electromyography. Results: Eighty-seven patients were included in the final analysis. The onset time was 296 ± 99 s at the ulnar nerve and 346 ± 146 s at the tibial nerve, with a mean difference of -50 s and a standard deviation of 164 s. The 95% limits of agreement ranged from -372 s to 272 s. The relaxation time was 105 ± 26 min at the ulnar nerve and 87 ± 25 min at the tibial nerve, with a mean difference of 18 min and a standard deviation of 20 min. Conclusions: Using electromyography, no statistically significant difference was noticed between the ulnar and the posterior tibial nerve during the neuromuscular block. The onset time and the relaxation time assessed with an electromyogram to compare the stimulation of the ulnar and posterior tibial nerves showed large limits of agreement.

Published: January 2023

Background: In addition to its potentially harmful physical consequences, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) can cause various negative psychological consequences for individuals. One cohort likely to have been affected is university students who have had to return and study from their home cities due to the physical closures of universities. Objectives: The present study was conducted on students to assess psychological impacts (i.e., anxiety, depression, and stress) in predicting COVID-19 anxiety resulting from returning home and quarantining due to university closure. Materials and Methods: The study sample comprised 715 Iranian students who were asked to complete the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) and the Corona Disease Anxiety Scale. Results: The mean scale scores for COVID-19 anxiety, stress, depression, and anxiety were 13.75 (out of 54), 6.68 (out of 21), 5.54 (out of 21), and 4.74 (out of 21), respectively. Significantly higher levels of COVID-19 anxiety were observed among students who had been infected with the virus or had family/friends infected with the virus (compared to individuals who had not). Moreover, students who lived with their friends reported significantly higher COVID-19 anxiety than those who lived with their families. Conclusions: The study showed a positive association between psychological distress and COVID-19 anxiety among students who returned to their homes during the pandemic. The findings suggest that mental health interventions are needed for students and should be implemented in the early stages of future pandemics.

Published: January 2023

Background: The concept of emancipation in the sense of empowerment, independence, and freedom came to the literature on disability with the emergence of a social model. Despite the importance of this concept, it is still unclear what effects the realization of the emancipation process has on the lives of people with disabilities and society. Objectives: This study aimed to explore the consequences of the emancipation process for people with physical disabilities. Methods: The study was conducted using the grounded theory method in 2021. Participants included 23 people with physical disabilities, a welfare organization manager, a welfare organization employee, a rehabilitation nurse, a physician, and two family members. The research data reached theoretical saturation with 18 individual interviews and two focused groups with 11 people with physical disabilities. 5 people were in the first group, and six were in the second group. Results: Data were analyzed based on the approach of Corbin and Strauss (2008). Data analysis led to 833 codes, seven sub-themes, and three main themes. The main themes included excellence and growth, functional health, and realization of a disabled-friendly society, and subthemes included self-actualization, self-determination, improving personal performance, economic self-sufficiency, improving social relationships, cultural acceptance of disability, and realization of social participation. Conclusions: The emancipation process leads to positive outcomes in the lives of individuals with physical disabilities. These consequences appear in individual areas, such as improving performance and self-sufficiency, social participation, and promoting community culture, which can be useful in planning and policy-making focusing on the realization of the emancipation process. A rehabilitation team can assist in achieving emancipation and its consequences.

Authors: Husna Cut , Halfiah Halfiah , Marlina Marlina
Published: January 2023

Background: Heart disease causes functional disorders that can cause the sufferer to experience fatigue and dyspnea, leading to low quality of life. Various factors related to the quality of life of heart failure patients include occupation and ejection fraction. The number of heart failure patients treated at Aceh government hospital is still high in 2021, as well as the incidence of recurrent hospitalization. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the relationship between occupation, ejection fraction, and heart failure patients' quality of life. Methods: The study used a quantitative research approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample was 154 heart failure patients who visited the Cardiac Polyclinic of a provincial hospital in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Data on patient occupation, ejection fraction, and comorbidity factors were obtained from the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics of the respondents. Then, the patient’s quality of life was measured by the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure (MLHF) questionnaire. The chi-square test and logistic regression (with a significance level α = 0.05) were used in data analysis in this study. Results: The results of the study found a significant direct correlation between patient occupation (P = 0.001), ejection fraction (P = 0,001), and an inverse correlation of comorbidity factors (P = 0.001) with quality of life (α = 0.05). The multivariate analysis using logistic regression found that the dominant factor, ejection fraction, was associated with the quality of life of heart failure patients with OR: 12.033, followed by comorbidity factors (OR: 3.565) and occupation (OR: 1.819). Conclusions: The quality of life of heart failure patients is strongly associated with the ejection fraction in heart failure patients; therefore, maintaining the ejection fraction is needed to improve the quality of life.

Materials and Methods: This questionnaire-based cross-sectional was conducted between September 1st and September 20th, 2021.
Results: A total of 210 healthcare workers were included. Among 210 healthcare workers enrolled in the study, 56.2% (n=118) were male. Most (53.8%, n=113) participants were aged between 18 and 27. Most (48.6%, n=102) of all participants were physicians. The COVID-19 vaccination rate of the healthcare workers in Somalia Turkiye Training and Research Hospital was 20% (n=42). Males had a significantly higher vaccination rate than females (26.2 vs. 12%, p<0,05). The most common reasons for not getting vaccinated were fear of potential complications and believing that vaccination would not be protective against the disease.
Conclusions: Most healthcare workers were hesitant to be vaccinated despite the availability of the vaccine. This approach exposes physicians and allied health workers to a significant risk of COVID-19. It also obstructs the fight against COVID-19.

Authors: Yucel Yavuz , Sheikh Hassan Mohamed , Osman Sidow Nor , Ali Adam Bakar
Published: January 2023

Central neurocytoma (CN) is a rare benign brain tumor primarily diagnosed in young patients. It mainly occupies the lateral ventricle and has relatively characteristic imaging features that aid in its diagnosis. This tumor causes obstructive hydrocephalus and manifests with signs of increased intracranial pressure. Herein, we present a case of a 53-year-old female diabetic patient who presented to our neurology clinic with an eight-month history of diffuse progressive headaches. Her headache was associated with nausea but not vomiting. There was no motor or sensory deficits or paresthesia. Likewise, the examination revealed no diplopia, ophthalmoparesis, cranial nerve impairments, or papilledema. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a heterogeneous intraventricular mass measuring 45x41 mm in size with surrounding mild tissue edema, typical for a central neurocytoma. The patient was referred to the neurosurgery department for surgical removal of the tumor; however, the patient did not consent to surgery. Brain MRI should be done in young patients with a headache that does not have the characteristics of primary headaches.

The incidence of urinary bladder hernia accompanying inguinal hernias is 1-4%. Herniation of the urinary bladder into the inguinal canal and scrotum can cause urinary retention and hydronephrosis, bladder necrosis, and renal dysfunction. This study presents a case that underwent emergency surgery for an incarcerated inguinal hernia. The hernia sac included the urinary bladder in addition to bowel segments. An attempt to save the ischemic bladder wall during partial bowel resection failed, and the patient developed a vesicocutaneous fistula. The fistula was repaired, and the ischemic bladder wall was resected. During the repair of an inguinal hernia, general surgeons and urologists must be aware of this rare condition and work together in terms of patient management. Although the bladder-sparing approach can be performed in cases without signs of severe bladder ischemia, patients should be followed closely for complications related to ischemia.

The integration policy through the Ministry of Religion of the Republic of Indonesia following Minister of Religion Regulation Number 10 of 2010 concerning Organization and Work Procedures does not want to control the pace of scientific development. However, PTKAI's spirit of campus integration is not solely due to the policies of the Indonesian Ministry of Religion following Minister of Religion Regulation Number 10 of 2010 concerning Organization and Work Procedures, but rather the enthusiasm to continue scientific development. The policy of integrating Islamic knowledge and science in Islamic Religious Higher Education has not shown the government's concern for knowledge development.

Green open space is one of the important elements that must exist in every urban area. The City Government of Depok, as one of the areas that is considered to need improvement in the provision of green open spaces, has made a policy strategy by building town squares and parks in every village. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the development of the town square as an instrument of green open space policy in Depok City. The research uses a post-positivist method where data is collected through interviews and observations, which are then processed into descriptive narratives. The results of the study show that there are still two indicators that need to be improved, where the level of interest of the target group and the use of space are obstacles in the implementation of green open space policies in city squares. Some of the factors that make these indicators ineffective include lack of community participation, lack of resources, and discrepancies between the initial concept and the results. Then it influences the indicators of clarity of agreement on policy objectives and control of spatial use. Therefore, the development of the Alun-Alun as an instrument of green open space policy is still not effective so it is necessary to add space or Alun-Alun to meet the needs of green open spaces in Depok City.
