Published: March 2022

Цель заключается в исследовании когнитивно-фреймового моделирования гендерных концептов фемининность и маскулинность в художественной картине мира. Предметом исследования является их фреймовая структура в художественном тексте. Материалом послужили тексты классической и современной художественной прозы на русском и немецком языках. Для достижения поставленной цели были применены методы сплошной выборки контекстов, контекстуального анализа, фреймового анализа концепта. Научная новизна исследования обусловлена обращением к методу когнитивно-фреймового моделирования гендерной идентичности в художественном тексте. Теоретическая значимость заключается в уточнении алгоритма исследования таких гендерных концептов в рамках фреймово-слотового анализа, что способствует характеризации стереотипов, актуализирующих социокультурные представления о женщине и мужчине. Практическая ценность заключается в том, что материала исследования может найти применение в спецкурсах по гендерологии и когнитивной лингвистике.

The goal is to study the cognitive frame modeling of gender concepts "Feminininity" and "Masculinity" in the art picture of the world. The subject of the study is their frame structure in the fiction text. The material was the texts of classical and modern prose in Russian and German. To achieve this goal, the following methods were applied: continuous context sampling, contextual analysis, and frame analysis of the concept. The scientific novelty of the study is due to an appeal to the method of cognitive frame modeling of gender identity in the fiction text. The theoretical significance lies in the refinement of the algorithm for the study of gender concepts "Feminininity" and "Masculinity" in the framework of frame-slot analysis, which contributes to the characterization of stereotypes that update socio-cultural ideas about women and men. The practical value is that the material of the study can be used in special courses in genderology and cognitive linguistics.

Lithium is a first-line treatment for bipolar disorder, a disorder that is characterized by alternating manic and depressive episodes. However, because of its narrow therapeutic index, lithium can cause adverse effects. The association of lithium with more complex molecules, such as proteins and polysaccharides, may help control the release of lithium throughout the digestive system, thereby reducing the doses that are used by patients and consequently reducing adverse effects. The present study evaluated the acute oral toxicity of lithium bioaccumulated in mycelial biomass of Ganoderma lucidum, a research step that precedes preclinical efficacy studies. The study followed Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development guideline. Male Wistar rats (n = 6) were acutely treated by gavage with fixed doses (300 and 2000 mg/kg) of lithium bioaccumulated in mycelial biomass of G. lucidum. Changes in clinical signs, body mass, relative organ mass, biochemical parameters, blood count, leukocytes, and histopathological changes were evaluated. A group of animals that were treated with vehicle (n = 6) served as the basal group. No signs of toxicity were observed in any of the investigated parameters. Lithium bioaccumulation in mycelial biomass of G. lucidum did not induce signs of toxicity in rats that were acutely orally treated.

This research aims to determine the perspective of Islamic education about conventional learning and critical creative learning. This research is library research and data collection uses documentation method. The data analysis uses a comparative technique, namely researching the philosophical foundations of conventional learning and critical-creative learning and looking at the two learning concepts using the perspective of Islamic education. Islamic education is the process of changing individual behavior in personal life and society through the learning process with an effort to help develop students to be more advanced based on good values in their lives, so that personal human beings are formed, both related to reason, feelings, and actions. The results of this research indicate that the two learning models above are very different conceptually, so there needs to be a creative unification effort from a teacher as a regulator in the learning process. Therefore, the two learning models could be useful according to the conditions and situations, so that there is no need to eliminate the conventional and critical creative learning models. Even learning with this model is very appropriate to the present.
Pendidikan Multikultural dalam Perspektif Filsafat Pendidikan Islam
Authors: Sari Intan Kumala , Siregar Nurkholijah
Published: March 2022

This study aims to analyze multicultural education in the perspective of Islamic education philosophy. The research method used is qualitative using a library research approach. The main data source in this study is Islamic educational literature based on philosophy and the secondary source is research articles that are relevant to this research. Data analysis uses content analysis techniques. The results of the study show that the essence of multiculturalism is culture and the recognition of cultural diversity and the response to accepting the diversity of cultural realities. Islam is a religion that is not based on culture, but has a concept of how its people are cultured and have good morals. Islamic culture is a procedure that refers to Islamic principles. Islamic culture itself is purely based on the Qur'an and Hadith, while non-Islamic culture is only based on human creations and that culture will never be the same. In the perspective of the philosophy of Islamic education, multicultural education trains and builds the character of students to be able to be democratic, humanist, and pluralist in their environment. In other words, multicultural education is a resistance to fanaticism that leads to this type of violence.

Withania coagulans Dunal (fam. Solanaceae) is an indigenous plant used traditionally for the treatment of diabetes and associated complications. However, the mechanistic approach of antihyperglycemic potential of the plant is not scientifically validated. The present study was undertaken to investigate the antihyperglycemic and antihyperlipidemic potential of aqueous extract of W. coagulans fruits (AEWC) in streptozotocin-induced non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in rats and to focus on its possible mechanism of action. NIDDM was induced by single intraperitoneal injection of STZ (65 mg kg-1 i.p.) in male Wistar rats. Animals were divided in five groups (n=6) and treated with AEWC (250 mg kg-1 and 500 mg kg-1). Glibenclamide (4 mg kg-1) was used as a standard drug. At the end of 4 weeks, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin, serum insulin, lipid profile, glucose uptake from rat hemidiaphragms, liver glycogen, serum aspartate transaminase (AST), serum alanine transaminase (ALP) and serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were determined. Antioxidant enzymes of liver including superoxide dismutase and catalase were evaluated. Histopathology of pancreas was studied. The results of our study demonstrate antihyperglycemic potential of AEWC because of improvement in the lipid metabolism and by relieving the oxidative stress as well.

Published: March 2022

This article aims to study the addition of ameliorant material in the soil to increase fertility rates, especially for potato plants grown at the height of 750 m above sea level. The experiments were conducted on medium plains 750 m above sea level in the Jatinangor area, Indonesia, with land type Incepticol. The composition of ameliorant consists of Cattle manure, biochar from coconut shells, and dolomite. The seeds of the potatoes used are relatively good varietal when cultivated in a medium plain. The design of the environment used is the group’s random draft repeated three times, the treatment design consists of K0: control; K1: Cattle manure 10 Mg ha-1; K2: Cattle manure 20 Mg ha-1; K3: Cattle manure 8 Mg ha-1, dolomite 1 Mg ha-1, 1 Mg ha-1 biochar; K4: Cattle manure 16 Mg ha-1, dolomite 2 Mg ha-1, 2-Mg biochar ha-1, K5: Cattle manure 8 Mg ha-1, dolomite 2 Mg ha-1; K6: Cattle manure 16 Mg ha-1, dolomite 4 Mg ha-1; K7: Cattle manure 8 Mg ha-1, biochar 2 Mg ha-1; K8: Cattle manure 16 Mg ha-1, biochar 4 Mg ha-1. Results showed that the composition and dose of ameliorant could increase the value of soil pH but have not improved the C/N ratio and absorption of phosphorus plants. The best result was obtained from the composition treatment of 16 Mg ha-1 Cattle manure, 2 Mg ha-1 dolomite, and 2 Mg ha-1 biochar. Soil pH is capable of increased by 16.83%, and the size of the potato bulbs of Class L (450-550 mm) amounted to 35, 11%, size M (350-450 mm) by 25.89%, and size S (200-350 mm) amounting to 34.37% when compared with controls.

Authors: Buchari Henrie , Untari Tri , Niswati Ainin , Sunyoto Sunyoto
Published: March 2022

Soil biomass carbon microorganism (C-mic) is one indicator of soil fertility. The application of humic acid, vermicompost aqueous extract, and P fertilization applied to the soil will affect the activity of soil microorganisms. This research aimed to study the effect of application of humic acid, vermicompost extract, and P fertilization on C-mic. The first factor was the application of humic acid (H), namely without the application of humic acid, the application of humic acid of commercial origin, and application of  humic acid-like from watery extract vermicompost. The second factor is P (P) fertilization which is divided into 4 dose levels, namely without TSP fertilizer, TSP fertilizer 100 kg ha-1, TSP fertilizer 200 kg ha-1, and TSP fertilizer 300 kg ha-1. The data obtained were tested for homogeneity of variance with the Bartlett test and the additiveity of the data was tested with the Tukey test. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance and continued with the Least Significant Difference (LSD) test at the 5% level. The correlation between C-organic, soil pH, soil temperature, soil moisture content, stalk dry weight, and weight of corn kernels with C-mic was tested by correlation test. The results showed that the application of humic acid and P fertilization had no significant effect on C-mic, and there was no interaction between the two at 7 days after planting (DAP), 56 DAP, and 104 DAP. There was a correlation between soil organic carbon  at 7 DAP, 56 DAP, and 104 DAP, soil moisture content at 7 DAP, soil pH at 56 DAP and 104 DAP, soil temperature at 104 DAP, stalk dry weight at 55 DAP, corn kernels weight at 113 DAP with C-mic.

Objective :To determinate COVID-19 pandemic process effect on the increase of Precocious Puberty and Premature Thelarche
Material and Methods: Total 60 girls, younger than 8 years old, who complaint with breast development. Medical history and physical examination findings, bone age, free T4, TSH, FSH, LH, estradiol levels of patients were recorded in their first visits. According to LHRH test results patients were divided to subgroups such as PT and CPP. Differences in the use of technological tools were recorded before and during the pandemic
Results: Higher Body Mass Index (BMI) (P=0.033), bone age (P<0.001) basal LH (P<0.001), basal FSH (P<0.001), basal estradiol (P<0.001) in cases with central puberty precocious level was detected. There was no difference between the two groups in terms of age and weight.
Compared to the pre-pandemic period, there was a significant increase in the use of technological tools (smartphone, computer, television) in both groups. In cases with PT, it was 2.54 ±0.65 hours/day before the pandemic and 6.22±1.25 hours/day during the pandemic (p<0.001), in cases with Spp it was 2.7 ±0.46 hours/day before the pandemic, 7.36±1.36 hours/day during the pandemic (p<0.001). The main reason for using technological tools was school lessons (4.6 ± 1.2 hours/day in cases with Pt, 5±1.2 hours/day in cases with Spp p =0.393).

Conclusion: In our study, it was observed that there was a significant increase in the use of technological devices and puberty symptoms started at a younger age in both groups after the pandemic. It was thought that environmental factors such as weight and increased use of electronic devices triggered the onset of puberty and the rate of progression.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of biofilm layer on polyp formation in nasal polyposis by comparing the amount of biofilm layer on polyp tissue and the normal mucosa.
Material and Methods: This study is a prospective study. 14 patients who underwent functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) for nasal polyposis were evaluated. Patients were had no history of previous FESS. Tissue samples were obtained from lower turbinate (Group 1 n:14) and from nasal polyp (Group 2, n:14) of the same nasal cavity. Biofilm presence was identified using scanning electron microscopic (SEM) morphological findings. In biofilm positive samples, the presence of biofilm in less than 25% of the surface area was classified as (+), between 25-50% as (++) , and over 50% as (+++).
Results: In Group 2, with SEM imaging, (+++) biofilm presence was detected in 9 patients and (++) biofilm was detected in 5 patients. In Group 1, no biofilm was detected 8 patients, while; (+++), (++), and (+) biofilm presence was detected in 1, 2, and 3 patients respectively. Significant difference was found between group 1 and group 2 with respect to the amount of biofilm according to SEM (p =0.000).
Conclusion: In samples, statistically significant difference was found between polyp tissue and normal mucosa in terms of the amount of biofilm. However, further studies with larger patient series are required in order to reach a definitive conclusion on the effect of biofilm on pathogenesis of polyp.

Authors: ATAY Mehmet , SAYDAM Onur
Published: March 2022

Objectives: The study aims to retrospectively evaluate the 1-year results of endovascular treatment with rheolytic thrombectomy(TR) or catheter-directed thrombolytic(CDT) infusion therapy in acute femoro-popliteal bypass graft occlusion.

Methods: The patients who had a history of femoro-popliteal by-pass operation and during their follow-up diagnosed with ipsilateral acute limb ischemia between 2016 and 2018 were included. The total of 13 patients were included and they were divided into two groups according to their treatment methods (RT, n=8 vs CDT, n=5).

Results: There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in terms of demographic data and Rutherford embolism classification. Reolitic thrombectomy and catheter-directed thromolytic infusion primary patency values were 87.5% and 80% for 6 months, 75% and 60% for 12 months, respectively. Secondary patency values were found to be 100% in both groups for 6 months, and 87.5% and 80% for 12 months, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups in terms of primer and sekonder patency.

Conclusion:Endovascular therapy can be preferred in the treatment of acute femoro-popliteal by-pass graft occlusion in selected patient groups due to its less invasiveness, early mobilization, and low mortality and morbidity rates compared to surgery,

Authors: KELEŞ ALP Esma
Published: March 2022

Aim: The aim of our study is to evaluate the demographic characteristics and epidemiological risk factors of neonatal hypernatremic dehydration and to discuss the precautions applied in our clinic in order to reduce the number of dehydration cases in the light of the literature.
Patients and Methods: Newborns who were hospitalized in our neonatal intensive care unit with the diagnosis of HD, whose serum sodium level was >147 mmol/L and born at >37 weeks were evaluated retrospectively. Babies with illnesses that would adversely affect nutritional status were excluded from the study.
Results: Mean gestational week of 54 cases included in the study was 39.19±1.07.22. The mean birth weight was 3244.06±458.46 gr. while the mean weight of hospitalization was 2880.28±514.54 gr. The percent of weight loss was found to be 8.51±3.14%. The mean age of hospitalization was 3.7±2.05 days and the mean duration of hospitalization day was 2.26±1.42 days. On admission, 11 (20.4%) patients had fever, 6 (11.1%) patients had jaundice, 3 (5.6%) patients had discomfort, 30 (55.5%) patients had more than one complaint and dehydration was detected in 4 (7.4%) patients during control admission of pediatric outpatient clinic. On physical examination, 46 (85.2%) patients had mild dehydration, 7 (13%) had moderate dehydration, and 1 (1.9%) patient had severe dehydration. The mean serum sodium value of the patients was 150.44±3.62 mmol/L, mean serum urea value was 45.5±18.13 mg/dl, and mean serum creatinine value was 0.79±0.34 mg/dl at the time of admission. The etiologies of dehydration were breast milk insufficiency in 37 (68.5%) cases, inability to breastfeed effectively due to nipple problems in 2 (3.7%) cases, and errors in breastfeeding technique in 15 (27.7%) cases. A positive correlation was found between the degree of dehydration and percent of weight loss and the serum sodium value (p<0.001).
Discussion: In our study, it was found that the most common cause of hypernatremic dehydration was breast milk insufficiency. Considering other reasons, giving breastfeeding education to mothers before discharge from the hospital seems to be important in preventing hypernatremic dehydration.

Published: March 2022

Objective: In this study, we aimed to share our surgical principles and surgical outcomes in cases of fixation and fusion with lumbar posterior transpedicular screw-rod systems in our clinic.

Methods: 117 patients who underwent posterolateral fusion surgery with lumbar posterior transpedicular screw-rod system between 2014 and 2017 were evaluated retrospectively. Dynamic lumbar radiographs, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging were performed in all cases before the operation. All patients were operated with microsurgical principles and internal fixation and posterolateral fusion were performed with posterior interpedicular screw-rod systems. Stabilization systems were evaluated with lumbar X-ray and/or computed tomography on the first postoperative day. In the 1st and 3rd months, lumbar X-rays were repeated.

Results: All these patients, in whom lumbar spinal instability was detected clinically and radiologically, had low back and/or leg pain and different levels of neurological deficits. Of the cases, 23 were male and 94 were female. The mean age was 53.4 years. According to the Meyerding classification, there were grade I and II spondylolisthesis in 69, and 8 cases respectively, spinal stenosis in 28 cases, burst fracture in 1 case, compression fracture in 3 cases, disc herniation in 11 cases. The mean follow-up period was 28.6 months.

Conclusions: Meticulous case selection, careful preoperative planning and adherence to spinal microsurgery principles will increase the success rate in lumbar posterior internal fixation and posterolateral fusion surgeries.

Methods: Patients who were consulted to the dermatology department from pediatric clinic of XX Hospital between January 2021 and August 2021 were scanned retrospectively. The demographic data of the patients, the pediatric department requesting consultation, their complaints at admission, the reasons for asking for consultation, and the diagnoses they received as a result of the consultation were recorded.

Results: A total of 296 patients, 150 (50.7%) females and 146 (49.3%) males, with a median age of 5.5 years (1.5-10.5 ) were evaluated. The outpatient clinic were seen to have made the most requests for consultation. The most frequent complaints on presentation were seen to be redness of the skin in 168 (56.8%) cases and itching in 36 (12.2%). The five most common diagnoses made as a result of the consultation were unspecified dermatitis in 47 (15.9%) cases, scabies in 34 (11.5%), insect bite in 17 (5.7%), atopic dermatitis in 13 (4.4%), and seborrheic dermatitis in 13 (4.4%). When the diagnoses were examined according to the age groups, unspecified dermatitis was usually seen in the 0-2, 6-11, and 12-18 years age groups and insect bite was more common in the 3-5 years age group.

Conclusion: The establishment of effectively functioning consultation mechanisms not only facilitates a correct diagnosis for the patient and appropriate treatment, but also can shorten the length of hospital stay for pediatric patients and can reduce economic costs.

Published: March 2022

Nurses worldwide face major health care problems, such as high patient mortality, high health care demands, a reduction in health care supplies, and extraordinary physical and emotional stress. First-line health and nurses working in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) played a significant role in responding to patients with COVID-19 globally. The COVID-19 epidemic marks a world public health crisis that has not been seen in the past century and has spread rapidly worldwide and the associated mortality burden. Health workers worldwide are responding to the demand for treatment of patients with COVID-19, which may result in high costs to their health and well-being. It is increasingly recognized that COVID-19 may affect the mental health of front-line workers, and it calls for psychological and social support. However, little attention has been paid to understanding the impact of working on a pandemic from healthcare workers’ perspectives or their views about support.

The disturbance was confined to the lower troposphere. It intensified in the presence of cold surge. This indicates a strong lateral interaction between the extratropical westerly circulation and the equatorial disturbance. A calculation of meridional gradient of potential vorticity was carried out in the region of the disturbance, to test the existence of combined barotropic-baroclinic instability.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of depression and anxiety among students of various universities in India during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also aimed at identifying the factors and determinants of depression and anxiety. A total of 138 university students living in various parts of India, accepted to participate in this cross- sectional web-based survey. A standardized e-questionnaire was generated using the Google Form, and the link was shared through social media, mainly via WhatsApp. The information was analysed in three consecutive levels, such as, univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analysis. Around 14.4% of the students reportedly had moderately severe depression, whereas 18.1% were severely suffering from anxiety. The binary logistic regression suggests that students in the age range 21-23 have greater depression (OR = 3.009, 95% CI = 1.072–8.446). It is also evident that students who were not provided with tuition in the pre-pandemic period had depression (OR =0.699, 95% CI =0.250-1.957). Key Words: Covid-19, Binary Logistic Regression, Anxiety, Depression.
