Artificial Intelligence (AI), a multifaceted and dynamic phenomenon, has significantly impacted various aspects of human life, particularly in the realm of business and technology. In the context of the cultural industry and International Human Resource Management (IHRM), AI has ushered in transformative changes that have redefined how organizations manage their creative and human capital across borders (Caldas, M. P., Tonelli, M. J., & Lacombe, B. M. B., 2011). This assessment delves into the intricate relationship between AI, the cultural industry, and IHRM, examining the challenges and opportunities that arise from this interplay. Also, the advent of AI has facilitated the seamless integration of advanced technologies into the cultural industry, creating a highly interconnected and innovative landscape. Consequently, organizations within this industry are compelled to adopt cut-ting-edge AI-driven practices to effectively manage a diverse range of cultural products and services (Arslan, A., Cooper, C., Khan, Z., Golgeci, I., & Ali, I., 2022). Artificial intelligence and human workers interaction at team level: a conceptual assessment of the challenges and potential HRM strategies. This analysis aims to critically evaluate the impact of AI on key cultural industry and IHRM functions, including recruitment and selection, training and development, performance management, and employee relations (Chew, J., 2004). By exploring the complexities and nuances of AI's influence on the cultural industry and IHRM, this assessment seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how AI trends shape industry and HR strategies and practices (Gordhan, P., 2007). Further-more, it will highlight the critical competencies required for HR professionals to navigate the challenges posed by AI, ultimately contributing to the success of cultural organizations in a rapidly evolving technological landscape. Finally, a particular focus will be placed on Greece as a case study to illustrate the broader impacts of AI on the cultural industry and IHRM (Stavroulakis, D., 2009). Greece, with its strategic geographical location and rich cultural heritage, presents a unique context for examining how global AI trends influence local cultural and HR practices.

Introduction. This article explores the implementation of technical training models to enhance basic volleyball skills in students. Volleyball, as a dynamic team sport, requires a combination of physical conditioning, technical proficiency, and strategic understanding. However, many students struggle with mastering the fundamental skills necessary for effective gameplay.
Objective. This study investigates the application of various technical training models, including skill-based drills, progressive skill-building techniques, and individualized feedback systems, to improve students' performance in essential volleyball techniques.
Methodology. This study uses a research and development method by looking at the effectiveness of the training models, namely by providing special treatment. Before the treatment was carried out to see the impact of the application of the technique training model, an initial measurement was carried out on the basic volleyball technique skills consisting of underhand serve techniques, underhand passes and overhand passes totaling 60 students.
Result. The average value of the initial test of basic volleyball technique ability was 46.72 and the average value of the final test was 64.73, meaning that there was an increase in basic volleyball technique ability based on the average value of 18.01. From the results of data analysis using the dependent sample t test. Based on the results of the study, tcount = 10.17 > ttable = 2.00.
Conclusions. This means that the research hypothesis can be accepted empirically. Thus, the results of this study indicate that when students do systematic training from the volleyball technique training model, students' basic volleyball technique abilities will increase optimally.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood glucose levels, leading to nerve and blood vessel damage, organ failure, and
impaired wound healing. Wound healing in diabetic patients is further complicated by reduced cytokine responses and delayed healing processes, which
can lead to severe complications such as sepsis and gangrene if left untreated.
In this study, we explored the potential of acemannan, an herbal extract from aloe gel incorporated into niosomes, for wound healing. Acemannan exhibits
antihyperglycemic, antiseptic, and anti-inflammatory properties with discrete delivery mechanisms and minimal side effects.
The aim of this study was to develop herbal-loaded niosomes for wound healing. Niosomes, self-assemblies of nonionic surfactants with or without cholesterol,
offer versatile delivery systems for both hydrophilic and hydrophobic substances. The formulation consisted of Span 60, cholesterol, chloroform, methanol,
buffer, and spray-dried aloe vera powder, prepared using the Thin Hydration method The resulting herbal niosomes were evaluated for entrapment efficiency,
particle size, and zeta potential. A batch with a 2:2 ratio of Span 60 and cholesterol exhibited favorable characteristics with a particle size of 144.1 nm and
a zeta potential of -17.1 mV.
In conclusion, the developed herbal-loaded niosome formulation shows promise for wound healing, offering a potentially safer and more effective alternative
to traditional antibiotic treatments for diabetic wounds.

Authors: Kaya Seray , Bekgöz Burak , Albay Burhan
Published: January 2025

Background: In Emergency Medical Services (EMS), out-of-hospital (OOH) births are rare but not exceptional. Our study aims to evaluate the data of patients who gave birth in OOH in Ankara province and to analyze the prehospital obstetric organization.
Methods: We evaluated the records (such as age, nationality, district, type of hospital to which they were transported, and transportation time) in the ASOS database of 403 pregnancies who gave birth outside the hospital in Ankara between 2021 and 2023 and were transported to a hospital by ambulance.
Results: Between 2021 and 2023, Ankara EMS intervened in a total of 403 out-of-hospital (OOH) birth cases. While 214 (53.1%) of the patients were citizens of the Republic of Türkiye, 189 (46.9%) were foreign nationals. Foreign nationals who gave birth at OOH were mostly of Middle Eastern and Asian origin. The mean age of the mothers in our study was 26.9 ± 5.7 years. A significant difference was found in the incidence of OOH births in peripheral regions between years. While there were 13 (14.6%) cases in 2021, there were 62 (36.3%) cases in 2022 and 52 (36.4%) cases in 2023.
Conclusions: With a well-designed EMS obstetric care organization, patients can be provided with more accessible and better service. The increase in the number of foreign nationals in the demographic structure may increase the number of OOH births.
Are YouTube videos a useful source of information on avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder?
Authors: Akçay Elif , Bahadır Büşra
Published: January 2025

Background: Social media platforms are widely used to share health information via videos. Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) is a new eating disorder term that is one of the most searched topics online. This study aims to determine the quality and content of videos about ARFID on YouTube.
Methods: On May 6, 2024, the term “Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder and/or ARFID” was searched on YouTube. The videos’ quality was assessed using three scoring systems: DISCERN, Global Quality Score (GQS), and the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA). DISCERN scores defined the top 25% of videos as the most reliable and top-quality (Q1).
Results: Videos (N = 295) were assessed, and 192 videos met our inclusion criteria. The most common video topic was the symptoms and diagnoses of ARFID (64.6%). Videos associated with ARFID were fair to poor quality according to DISCERN (90.6%) and GQS (79.7%). 80.2% of the videos targeted patients, and they had lower quality scores than those targeting healthcare providers. 68.42% of videos for healthcare providers were high-quality (Q1), while only 14.29% of videos targeting patients were Q1. The GQS and JAMA scores showed a negative correlation with the viewer interaction scores of the videos.
Conclusions: Our findings underline the low quality of YouTube videos about ARFID. It is concerning to find that viewer interaction with the videos increases as video quality decreases. The present study highlights the risk of spreading poor-quality information via YouTube videos to the public, particularly patients.

Background: The regulation of food intake in the hypothalamus is one of most complicated through the integration of various neuroendocrine mechanisms. In this region, orexigenic and anorexigenic peptides play a role by responding to different stimuli. Additionally, central opioidergic systems are involved in the regulation of feeding behavior. Several neuropeptides expressed in the hypothalamus also contribute to the regulation of food intake. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of mu opioidergic agonist/antagonist molecules on both orexigenic and anorexigenic peptides gene expression levels in the hypothalamus.
Methods: In our study, 48 male Wistar Albino rats were divided into 4 groups as control, morphine, naloxone and morphine+naloxone. The control group received subcutaneous SF solution for 5 days; morphine group received morphine at a dose of 10 mg/kg/day for 5 days; naloxone group SF was administered for 5 days and naloxone at a dose of 3 mg/kg 1.5 hours after the last injection: morphine+naloxone group received naloxone 1.5 hours after 5 days of morphine injection. Hypothalamus tissues were isolated from brains at the end of experimental period. Anorexigenic and orexigenic peptide expression levels were analysed by RT-PCR method. Differences between groups were statistically analyzed using one-way factorial ANOVA and Tukey post-hoc test.
Results: Morphine administration results in a decrease in the expression levels of OX2R and LepR genes, but did not change ORXA, OX1R, AgRP, NPY, POMC gene expression. Naloxone administration increased AgRP and NPY expression while decreasing OX2R, LepR and APLNR gene expression levels.
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that morphine may affect the gene expression of molecules related to regulation of nutrition and metabolism in the hypothalamus. Further studies are needed to clarify the possible mechanistic effects of mu opiodergic activity on the central control of feeding in morphine dependence manner.

Оценка влияния изменения климата на экономику России с использованием моделей комплексной оценки (IAM)
Authors: Порфирьев Б.Н. , Колпаков А.Ю. , Лазеева Е.А.
Published: January 2025

В мировой практике оценки экономических эффектов изменения климата активно используются модели комплексной оценки (IAM). На основе четырех адаптированных авторами IAM рассчитан экономический эффект изменения климата в России до 2060 г. Согласно полученным модельным расчетам, величина этого эффекта варьирует в широком диапазоне: от –1,3 трлн. до +200 млрд руб. к 2040 г.; от – 3 трлн до +300 млрд руб. – к 2060 г. (в ценах 2021 г.). Упрощенный характер методологии IAM, обусловливающий предрасположенность к воспроизведению нелинейно возрастающих ущербов, означает существенно огрубленные величины вышеупомянутого экономического эффекта изменения климата. В связи с этим, их следует воспринимать и трактовать, в первую очередь, с точки зрения знака возникающих эффектов (ущерб или выгода) и рассматривать их как порядок масштаба ожидаемого ущерба или выгод, соответственно, при отсутствии мер адаптации населения и экономики к изменениям климата.
Глубинные потребительские привычки и шоки фискальной политики
Authors: Андреев М.Ю.
Published: January 2025

В данной работе на основе стохастической модели общего равновесия для малой открытой экономики, ориентированной на экспорт, изучаются два вопроса. Во-первых, анализируется действие глубинных потребительских привычек в такой экономике. В представленной модели формулировка глубинных привычек отличается от общепринятой с учетом импорта в потреблении. Во-вторых, сравниваются между собой различные варианты финансирования роста государственных расходов.

Роль глубинных привычек при экономических шоках выражается в торможении сдвигов кривой спроса домохозяйств. Впервые показано, что глубинные привычки приводят к меньшей волатильности выпуска и потребления и к большей волатильности инфляции. Также в работе показано, что продолжительный шок государственных расходов создает эффект вытеснения в потреблении и выпуске, а быстро затухающий шок – эффект накопления.

Рассмотренное в работе среднесрочное увеличение государственных расходов в силу последующей необходимости балансировки уровня государственного долга приводит к снижению государственного потребления в долгосрочном периоде. По двум критериям (максимизации благосостояния и государственного потребления в долгосрочном периоде) наиболее предпочтительным вариантом финансирования роста государственных расходов оказывается использование национального фонда, инвестированного в иностранные активы, или внешнего долгового рынка.

Authors: Husam Suha , Haider Kadhim Hoomod  , Khalid Ali Hussein
Published: January 2025

In recent years, image encryption algorithms have been developed to protect against unauthorized persons and maintain the privacy of recipients. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right algorithm and build it in a way that meets security and performance requirements. The DES algorithm is slow in encryption and decryption operations and vulnerable to attacks. There is a lightweight block cipher for devices with limited resources. May be more vulnerable than differential cryptanalysis. To achieve security, the key of the two algorithms (DES-Present) was generated using a two-dimensional chaos equation system. DES is applied twice for four rounds, and within each single round of the DES algorithm, the current lightweight algorithm is executed for only four rounds. The performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm was measured through several metrics, where a PSNR of 8.985941indicates that the image quality did not change after the encryption procedure, as do MSE 8945.715332and MAE 77.625417. The NPCR value of 99.66891% indicates a high degree of accuracy in changing pixel values. In addition, the uniform average change intensity (UACI) of only 22.0046% shows that the algorithm is good at making large changes in pixel intensity. Correlation coefficient test: horizontal 0.002574; diagonal -0.003017; vertical -0.035860. The results showed that the proposed algorithm is good for encrypting color images, which makes it suitable for use in various applications that need security.

Objective: To determine the relevance of increasing levels of serum ferritin with the severity of dengue fever and platelet count.
Study Design: Prospective longitudinal study.
Place and Duration of Study: Medicine Department, Combined Military Hospital, Rawalpindi Pakistan, from Jul to Nov 2023.
Methodology: 110 admitted cases of dengue were selected. Serum ferritin levels and platelet count were done on day one and five of the indoor stay. The levels of serum ferritin were then compared with the severity of dengue. According to the WHO, patients without warning signs of dengue were classified as grade A, those with warning signs as grade B, and patients with severe dengue were classified as grade C.
Results: The levels of Serum ferritin rose significantly on the day five. On day one, the median ferritin was 600.0 (812.5–350.0) ng/ml and median ferritin on day 5 was 1100.0 (2000.0–646.50) ng/ml. Our study results showed that serum ferritin level was increased at day 5 with a statistically significant p-value <0.001. Sixty-three (57.3%) had grade A, 31(28.2%) had grade B and 16(14.5%) had grade C dengue. Hyperferritinemia was observed in 47%, 27%, and 16% of grade A, B, and C patients, respectively. Correlation of Serum Ferritin with Platelet count at day one and day five showed that patients had thrombocytopenia with raised serum ferritin level at day five.
Conclusion: The severity of dengue fever is correlated with elevated blood ferritin levels, which is quite relevant.

Published: January 2025

Objective: To assess insulin insertion practices, including storage, injection techniques and sharps waste disposal in patients with diabetes using insulin syringes and pen-filled insulin.
Study Design: Cross-section study
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Endocrinology, Pak-Emirates Military Hospital Rawalpindi, Pakistan from March to May 2020.
Methodology: All insulin-dependent patients with diabetes were interviewed according to a questionnaire and their insulin insertion techniques and practices assessed. Questionnaire was based on the American Diabetes Association guidelines for insulin insertion. Those who had incorrect practices were later counselled about the correct practices.
Results: 84(70%) participants used insulin syringe for insulin insertion, while 36(30%) used pen-filled insulin. Three-quarters of the patients reported that they were never taught by any healthcare professional regarding correct insulin insertion techniques. 69(57.5%) of those using insulin syringe cleaned the insertion site before injecting insulin, while only 51(22.2%) of those using pen-filled insulin did so. 25(20.6%) of the participants did not wash their hands with soap prior to insulin injection. 68(56.7%) of the participants did not maintain cold chain. Most of the patients 92(77%) disposed off their insulin sharps in household garbage.
Conclusion: There was a significant gap between insulin insertion guidelines and current insulin injection practices. Education and proper counseling should be provided to the patients using insulin by healthcare professionals and their practices should be checked on every out-patient encounter.

Authors: Ünal Serkan
Published: January 2025

TTurkish Republic of Northern Cyprus was established in the north of Cyprus after the intervention carried out by Türkiye in 1974, called the Cyprus Peace Operation, and declared its independence in 1983. The state, which is subjected to an international embargo in almost every area, especially in economics, politics, sports, and transportation, and therefore establishes its ties with the world through Türkiye, has had all the instruments that a democratic state should have in its domestic politics since its independence. This study deals with the political system of Northern Cyprus, which has not yet been studied comprehensively, and aims to fill an important gap in the literature. The study considers Northern Cyprus’ constitution, principle of separation of powers, form of government, ongoing democratic elections, electoral system, and party system in the context of political science literature. Utilizing historical narrative and constitutional review methods, as well as the effective number of parties (ENP) formulated by Laakso and Taagapera, the study examines the political system of Northern Cyprus together with its political history and culture.

Published: January 2025

Bu çalışmada varlık fiyatlama modellerinden Fama ve French beş faktör modeli (FF5F) ile Fama ve French altı faktör modelinin (FF6F) test edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla Borsa İstanbul Sürdürülebilirlik Endeksi ve Kurumsal Yönetim Endekslerinin her ikisinde de işlem gören 58 işletmenin 2019:Q1-2023:Q4 dönemine ait çeyreklik verileri kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca ilgili modellerde kullanılan karlılık (faaliyet karlılığı) değişkeni yerine özsermaye karlılığını da (ROE) dikkate alan modeller oluşturularak diğer modeller ile kıyaslanmıştır. Elde edilen veriler panel veri analizi ile test edilmiştir. Yapılan analizlere göre modellerin tamamının açıklayıcılığına en çok katkıyı piyasa risk faktörünün sağladığı görülmüştür. İşletme büyüklüğü ise modele en önemli katkıyı sağlayan ikinci faktördür. Sonuç olarak “pay getirilerini FF6F modeli FF5F modeline göre daha iyi açıklar” şeklindeki hipotez ile “pay getirilerini açıklamada özsermaye karlılığı faaliyet karlılığına göre daha etkindir” şeklinde kurulan hipotezler kabul edilmiştir.
