Insight into Metabolomic Profiling of Tinospora cordifolia: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives of Quality Control
Authors: Islam Atiqul , Anurag C. , Siddiqui Nazia , Ding Xianting , Sharma Alok
Published: May 2024

The objective of this study was to offer a review of previous works on Tinospora cordifolia (TC) metabolomics with a highlight on the use of metabolomics in comparative evaluations between varieties and selection of optimum cultivation, collection, and extraction procedures, providing insights into pharmaceutical and food product quality monitoring. Scholarly databases were searched to gather relevant information on TC’s therapeutic usefulness, phytoconstituent studies, metabolomics, and applications. PubChem was used to learn the structures of several of the metabolites. The various medicinal properties of TC were extensively researched. The most essential portions of the plant in Ayurvedic medicines are the stems. Bioactive phytochemicals such as steroidal lactones, alkaloids, diterpenoids, and phenolic compounds are present in the roots and leaves. Metabolomic analysis revealed that, in addition to the season and geographical region of the sample collected, the metabolite profiles of TC also depend on the parts of the plant taken as a sample and also the plant’s stage of growth. The amounts of secondary metabolites differed between morpho/chemotypes within the TC species. Despite the fact that research on TC began several decades ago, the diversity of phytoconstituents was not appreciated because of a lack of reliable techniques for phytochemical fingerprinting. The uncovering of several novel metabolites was aided by advances in chromatography combined with mass spectrometry. To produce a full metabolomic profile, researchers used mutually complementary techniques. Following that, data analysis and searches against spectrum databases allowed for signal annotation and interpretation of metabolites in large quantities without separating them separately. The current review includes a critical assessment of metabolomic data and an overview of the technique’s various applications. It is vital to establish the metrics of quality control of herbal medicines in order to accomplish formulation purity assessments. Such information would assist us in determining the best geolocation for the plants and the best time to harvest them. Metabolomic investigation of TC-based herbal products is recommended for quality standards and the identification of novel bioactive components.

Published: May 2024

This study aimed to investigate the reproductive biology of female rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss). Mature female (n.80) rainbow trout from different reproductive phases were collected. Through a transmission electron microscope (TEM), it was feasible to examine the oocyte at several developmental stages, namely the perinucleolus stage, cortical alveoli stage, vitellogenic stage, mature stage, and postovulatory stage. Progesterone and estradiol levels were measured at their lowest during the immature and spent phases, while reaching their highest levels during the maturing and mature stages. The total amount of saturated fatty acids (SFA), monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) was greater in mature ovaries compared to immature and maturing ovaries. Gene transcripts related to the production of steroids, specifically star, cyp11a1, cyp17a1 and hsd3b were expressed at low levels during the immature stage and showed a significant rise during the mature stage. The ovarian gene expression patterns during oogenesis exhibited distinct dissimilarities. The fatty acid content, essential for the development of fish ovaries, and the sex steroid hormonal profile, which play a key role in regulating oogenesis, are particularly significant. These results will enhance our comprehension of the reproductive biology and sustainable management of rainbow trout in their natural environment.

Authors: Lundberg Katrina , Elmståhl Sölve , Wranker Lena Sandin , Ekström Henrik
Published: May 2024

Background: The association between physical frailty and performance in different cognitive domains in the absence of cognitive disorders is poorly understood. Hence, we aimed to explore the associations between frailty levels based on the Fried Physical Frailty Phenotype and performance of different cognitive domains. We also aimed to examine the associations between cognitive function and each criterion in the Fried Frailty Scale using the same cognitive domains in a non-dementia population aged 60–96 years.Methods: This cross-sectional study included 4,329 participants aged 60–96 years, drawn from the “Good Aging in Skåne” population study. Frailty indices included handgrip strength, physical endurance, body mass index (BMI), physical activity, and walking speed. Cognitive function was assessed across eight domains: episodic memory, processing speed, semantic memory, verbal fluency, working memory, attention, executive function, and visual perception. We constructed adjusted multiple linear regression models for each cognitive domain, with the frailty levels as the independent variable. Likewise, we constructed linear regression models with each cognitive domain as the dependent variable and frailty criteria as independent variables.Results: Physical frailty was associated with poor performance in episodic memory, processing speed, semantic memory, verbal fluency, working memory, attention, and executive functions (p<0.001 for all associations). Weaker hand grip strength was independently associated with poorer performance in all cognitive domains (p < 0.015).Conclusion: Higher levels of frailty were associated with poorer performance in all cognitive domains except visual perception. Describing frailty by considering cognitive functioning may provide a better understanding of frailty.

Published: May 2024

Background: In this study, we compare the effects of ketamine and the combination of midazolam and morphine on the severity of depression and anxiety in mechanically ventilated patients after discharge from the intensive care unit (ICU).Methods: This randomized single-blind clinical trial included 50 patients who were candidates for craniotomy and postoperative mechanical ventilation in the ICU of 5 Azar Teaching Hospital in Gorgan City, North Iran, from 2021 to 2022. Patients were allocated to two groups by quadruple block randomization. In group A, 0.5 mg/kg of ketamine was infused over 15 minutes after craniotomy, and then continued at a dose of 5 µ/kg/min during mechanical ventilation. In group B, midazolam was infused at a dose of 2–3 mg/hr and morphine at a dose of 3–5 mg/hr. After patients were discharged from the ICU, if their Glasgow Coma Scale scores were ≥14, Beck’s anxiety and depression inventories were completed by a psychologist within 2 weeks, 2 months, and 6 months after discharge.Results: The mean scores of depression at 2 months (P=0.01) and 6 months (P=0.03) after discharge were significantly lower in the ketamine group than in the midazolam and morphine group. The mean anxiety scores were significantly lower in the ketamine group 2 weeks (P=0.006) and 6 months (P=0.002) after discharge. Conclusions: Ketamine is an effective drug for preventing and treating anxiety and depression over the long term in patients discharged from the ICU. However, further larger volume studies are required to validate these results.

Authors: Aydin Sonay , Aydin Ozlem Celik , Yazar Mesut Furkan , Aydemir Huseyin , Kantarci Mecit , Barun Sureyya
Published: May 2024

BACKGROUND

In cases of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), favipiravir is commonly included to the therapy regimen. Drug interactions between favipiravir and other COVID-19 therapy drugs are frequently researched. However, no research on possible drug interactions between Favipiravir and radiocontrast agents, which have become almost crucial in diagnostic processes while not being part of the treatment, has been found.

AIM

To determine potential medication interactions between Favipiravir and radiocontrast agents.

METHODS

The study comprised patients who were taking Favipiravir for COVID-19 therapy and underwent a contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) test while taking the medicine. The computerized patient files of the cases included in the study, as well as the pharmacovigilance forms in the designated hospital, were evaluated for this purpose.

RESULTS

The study included the evaluation of data from 1046 patients. The study sample's mean age was 47.23 ± 9.48 years. The mean age of cases with drug interactions was statistically significant greater than that of cases with no drug interactions (P = 0.003). When evaluated with logistic regression analysis, a 1-year raises in age increases the risk of developing drug interactions by 1.63 times (P = 0.023). There was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of medication interactions between the sexes (P = 0.090). Possible medication interactions were discovered in 42 cases (4%).

CONCLUSION

The findings of this study revealed that the most notable findings as a result of the combined use of contrast agents and favipiravir were increased creatinine and transaminase values, as well as an increase in the frequency of nausea and vomiting. The majority of drug interactions discovered were modest enough that they were not reflected in the clinic. Drug interactions become more common as people get older.
Does the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 accommodate a right to object to destruction?
Authors: Cheng-Davies Tania
Published: May 2024

This article is concerned with the question of whether an author has, under the UK Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988, a right to object to the complete destruction of their copyright work. Under s. 80 of the 1988 Act, the author has the right, referred to as the ‘integrity right’, to object to the derogatory treatment of their copyright work, but the question as to whether this is broad enough to cover the utter and complete destruction of the work has not yet been settled satisfactorily. This discussion addresses this shortfall.

Published: May 2024

Several important factors affect the financing of companies in North Macedonia today. The paper aims to explore how the Gross Loans to Non-Financial Sector / GDP ratio depends on the Inflation Rate, the Interest Rate of Non-financial Sector Loans, and the GDP. Based on the secondary data (quarterly time series) obtained from credible sources covering the period from 2015:Q1 to 2023:Q3, we employ the Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach to examine both the short- and long-run dependencies. The results confirm the statistically significant impact of the regressors on the dependent variable.
Assessing the Carbon Footprint and Cumulative Energy Demand of Biodiesel Produced From Rapeseed Oil in Serbia
Authors: Kiss Ferenc , Korhecz Reka
Published: May 2024

This paper aims to evaluate the carbon footprint and energy balance associated with biodiesel production from rapeseed in Serbia, employing the life cycle assessment (LCA) methodology. Data on material and energy consumption were collected for the primary agricultural and industrial entities involved in the biodiesel production chain, with the broader system modeled using information from the ecoinvent life cycle inventory database. Our findings indicate that the carbon footprint of biodiesel (44 g CO2eq/MJ) is significantly lower than that of fossil diesel (86 g CO2eq/MJ) when not considering the potential impacts of indirect land-use change (iLUC). However, inclusion of iLUC impacts could result in a higher carbon footprint for biodiesel than fossil diesel. The life-cycle fossil energy inputs for rapeseed biodiesel are estimated at 0.53 MJ per one MJ of biodiesel, while fossil diesel requires approximately 30% more fossil energy than is present in the fuel.

Published: May 2024

The development of Information technologies has enabled Higher Education Institutions to improve their teaching and learning methods through the use of modern IT platforms and tools and thus completely change the environment for the implementation of the teaching and learning process. Cloud computing as a model of offering information resources has enabled Universities to use IT resources efficiently. Through the implementation of Cloud computing model in teaching process, every University can afford the use of relatively large amounts of information resources with relatively low costs for their use. It is especially important for developing countries such as the Republic of North Macedonia, which are not able to allocate large financial resources for the purchase of the latest expensive information technologies. Today, Cloud computing platforms for education (Google Suite for education, Microsoft education, Amazon cloud computing for education, Coursera, Blackboard, Evernote etc.) through the benefits they offer such as the availability of applications, cost effectiveness , flexibility, ease of use and security, enable Universities to transform traditional learning processes and thereby advance the overall higher education process. The main goal of this paper will be to present the level of use of Cloud computing platforms and tools in Higher Education Institutions in the Republic of North Macedonia. For this purpose, a questionnaire was created in which the largest number of Universities in the Republic of North Macedonia were included. This paper will present a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the results obtained from the survey. The questionnaire was created using Google Forms and was delivered to the academic staff from the most of Universities in Republic of North Macedonia. Also, through this paper, most of the challenges and benefits of using Cloud computing platforms/tools will be presented.
Sustainability of Corporate Tax Revenues in European OECD Economies Eatr Cuts and FDI Inflow
Authors: Trivić Jelena , Beljić Marina , Glavaški Olgica
Published: May 2024

Base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) is an endeavor to prevent increased profit shifting as a result of global tax competitiveness. However, there is still a scarcity of thorough analyses that quantify BEPS effects on the economy, tax revenues, employment, and welfare. This paper's main objective is to empirically evaluate the direct effect of EATR changes and indirect effect through FDI on the corporate tax revenue (CTR) in European OECD countries using available empirical data in the period 1998–2021. The paper analyses volume of capital/profit shifts which reflect in tax revenues loses in some economies due to heterogenous tax policies within the EU. Using the (Pooled) Mean Group model a significant positive long-term relationship was confirmed between the CTR and the EATR; and between CTR and FDI. The Dynamic Common Correlated Effects (DCCE) model was implemented as a robustness check, and it confirms results revealed with PMG model in short-run. The findings show that on average in European OCED economies achieving tax competition leads to tax revenue loss. On the other hand, FDI increase creates positive effect on CTR. Furthermore, results show that completely different strategies exist in emerging vs developed European OECD economies – in terms of attracting FDI vs maintaining sustainable the level of tax revenues.
Tax Benefits of R&D in Crisis Circumstances - Accounting Aspects
Authors: Rakić Nikola
Published: May 2024

In times of crisis, one of the major challenges for businesses is maintaining an appropriate level of liquidity. During periods marked by supply and/or demand shocks caused by various economic, political, or natural influences, most companies experience a drop in sales and a decreased likelihood of collecting receivables on time, if at all. In conditions of reduced business activity and lower cash inflows from operations, businesses are forced to seek additional sources of liquidity to ensure their survival despite the crisis. Tax reliefs can serve as a means for companies to secure additional liquidity sources, i.e., a way to reduce the costs they face. This paper primarily explores the possibility of reducing cash outflows related to gross wages paid. One form of tax relief available to companies in the Republic of Serbia is for research and development (R&D) activities. If a company decides to engage in R&D activities, it will pay a lower amount of taxes and contributions for employees involved in these activities, thereby saving funds and improving its liquidity. The paper presents which activities are considered R&D according to the legal and sub-legal regulations of the Republic of Serbia and the conditions necessary for a company to benefit from tax reliefs. Additionally, the paper discusses the accounting aspect of calculating wages for employees engaged in R&D activities.

Inflationary Pressures in the Conditions of Global Uncertainties: Evidence From Developed European Economies
Authors: Pejcic Jovica , Glavaški Olgica , Sekulić Aleksandar
Published: May 2024

This paper analyzes the key macroeconomic consequences that are directly determined by the pandemic and geopolitical crisis in the form of growing inflationary pressures, reflecting a high level of uncertainty during decision-making and planning at the individual, business and macroeconomic level. The subject of the econometric analysis aims to see how the movement of oil prices affects the consumer price index (CPI) on a sample of 15 developed European economies in the period from 2020q1-2023q4. Using heterogeneous panel models, specifically Mean Group (MG), and Pooled Mean Group (PMG) methods positive and heterogeneous impact of the increase in the price of crude oil on CPI is detected. Research indicates that the long-run relationship and speed of adjustment of individual economies to the long-run equilibrium relationship is heterogeneous during the analyzed period, indicating that the effect of macroeconomic uncertainties represented in crude oil price increase had different magnitude of influence in developed European economies. Individual adjustments were the most intensive in Greece, France, and Portugal, meaning that those economies were more exposed to higher inflationary pressures, while a slower intensity of adjustment and lower inflationary pressures were present in Austria, Belgium, Finland, and Luxembourg. Detected vulnerability of developed European economies in the circumstances of global uncertainties is expected due to absence of mechanisms to achieve countercyclical effects on the growth of inflation.

Authors: Benović Nenad , Milenković Ivan
Published: May 2024

Controlling public debt is one of the most significant challenges faced by contemporary states. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between the level of public debt and selected macroeconomic variables in the Republic of Serbia. The empirical analysis, based on annual data from 2006 to 2023, includes, in addition to the public debt as a percentage of gross domestic product as a dependent variable, four selected macroeconomic indicators incorporated into the model as independent variables. For the purpose of the analysis, E-views and Stata software were used. Descriptive statistics were initially presented, followed by a series of diagnostic tests such as unit root test and the derivation of the correlation matrix to reject hypotheses of non-stationarity and multicollinearity. Finally, the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method was applied to interpret the effects of independent variables on the dependent variable. The research results can be significant for policymakers in defining activities aimed at maintaining the stability of public debt.
Price Promotions and Brand Growth
Authors: Ćirić Saša
Published: May 2024

Price is one of the important instruments in the process of marketing management. The success of investing in a brand can also be seen through its price elasticity. The price shows how the investment in the brand is capitalized, because the increase in prices, which is not initiated by the increase in costs, can be reflected in the increase in the profit of the brand. According to that, price changes, whether they are long-term or temporary, have an impact on other parameters of brand effectiveness. The aim of this paper is to try to link price actions (temporary price reductions) and long-term parameters of brand success. Special attention will be paid to long-term investment in the brand through advertising. In the first part of the paper, the author will review the theoretical framework of this topic. The second part of the work will be based on secondary data obtained by the marketing research agency GFK. Also, an effort will be made to review certain recommendations in the theoretical and practical domain.

ABSTRACT 
The GKI Bait-Lahim Kokas congregation is in Fak-Fak Regency, Southwest Papua Province, Teluk Patipi District, Adora Village – Us. Fak-fak Regency is known as a district that grows a lot of nutmeg trees. In the cosmology of the Fak-Fak people, the nutmeg tree is believed to be like a mother who gives birth to life. The origin of the existence of nutmeg, in the local language called Henggi Thomantin in Fak-Fak, is through three birds, namely, the kum-kum bird, the taon-taon bird and the forest dove. These three birds eat nutmeg seeds from other places and carry the nutmeg seeds and then release them in several forests around the Fak-Fak area, then the nutmeg seeds grow in the Fak-Fak forest. Since the discovery of the nutmeg plant, they consider that the nutmeg plant is a gift that God has given them in their lives. Nutmeg can bear fruit and this nutmeg has high economic value starting from the fruit, seeds and flowers which can guarantee all their needs. Like nutmeg syrup which is made from nutmeg fruit, it is a traditional food with a high cultural taste, so nutmeg is considered to be able to give life to people from generation to generation. One of the retentions carried out to maintain the religious and economic cultural value of this local commodity is training in making nutmeg syrup for the women's fellowship at the GKI Bait-Lahim Kokas congregation.

Wie gehen angehende Deutschlehrkräfte mit der Mehrdeutigkeit literarischer Texte im Unterricht um?
Authors: Hesse Florian , Winkler Iris
Published: May 2024

Schülerinnen und Schüler sollen im Deutschunterricht die Fähigkeit erwerben, mit der Mehrdeutigkeit literarischer Texte kompetent umzugehen. Aus Sicht der bisherigen Forschung ist allerdings ungeklärt, wie (angehende) Lehrpersonen diese Fähigkeiten im Unterricht anbahnen. Um diesem Desiderat nachzukommen, werden im vorliegenden Beitrag Fallanalysen zu zwei videografierten Unterrichtsstunden von Studierenden zum Text Nacht von Sibylle Berg kontrastiert. Im Ergebnis zeigt sich, dass die beiden Studierenden sehr unterschiedliche Lernangebote gestalten: Während eine Studentin den Text als ‚Trainingsgerät‘ modelliert und die Lernenden dazu anhält, bestehendes Vorwissen schemaartig auf den Text anzuwenden, betrachtet der andere Student den Text als komplexen Lerngegenstand, für dessen Verständnis die Lernenden Unterstützung benötigen. Der Beitrag ordnet die Befunde in die literaturdidaktische Professionalisierungs- und Unterrichtsforschung ein und leitet Konsequenzen für die weitere Forschung ab.
Kadın Kooperatiflerinde Yönetici Stratejileri ve Yöneticilerle Ortaklar Arası Hiyerarşik İlişkiler
Authors: Kurtege Sefer Bengü
Published: May 2024

Gıda krizini sadece üretimi artırmaya odaklı politikalarla aşmaya çalışan endüstriyelleşmiş gıda sistemine karşı kadın kooperatifleri, gıdanın üretim ve tüketim süreçlerinde üreticinin deneyimlerine, doğal kaynakların sürdürülebilir kullanımına ve tüketicilerin doğrudan gıdaya erişimine önem veren yatay örgütlenme potansiyeli olan modeller olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Kooperatifçilik ilkelerine göre yöneticilerle ortaklar arasında eşitlikçi ve demokratik bir iş bölümü olmalı ve kadın ortakların üretim ve bölüşüme ilişkin süreçlere aktif olarak katılmaları gerekmektedir. Bu makale Pierre Bourdieu’nun kuramsal yaklaşımını kullanarak gıda alanında faaliyet gösteren kadın kooperatiflerinde ortaklar ve yöneticiler arasındaki iktidar ve tahakküm ilişkilerini göstermeyi amaçlamaktadır. 2019 ve 2020 yıllarında yürütülen proje bulgularına dayanarak gıda alanında faaliyet gösteren kadın kooperatiflerindeki yönetişim ilişkileri incelenmekte, kooperatiflerin gıda krizini çözmeye yönelik örgütlenme biçimleri olmaları önündeki engeller gösterilmektedir. Kültürel, ekonomik ve sosyal sermayeyi ellerinde bulunduran kooperatif yöneticileri alandaki sınıfsal konumlarını korumak için belirli stratejiler geliştirmektedirler; uzmanlık, simgesel şiddet ve emek kontrolüne yönelik stratejilerle kooperatif ortakları üzerindeki tahakkümlerini sürdürmektedirler. Ayrıca iş tecrübeleri, değerleri (girişimcilik, markalaşma, liderlik vs.), beğeni ve ön yargıları, onların ortaklarla olan ilişkilerini etkilemektedir. Bu ilişkiler, kadın kooperatiflerindeki adil olmayan üretim ve bölüşüm süreçlerini anlamak için önemlidir.
EMOTIONAL TURMOIL IN THE NOVEL BLUE (PLAVA) BY MAGDALENA MIKOVIĆ
Authors:   University of Montenegro, Faculty of Philology, Kalezić-Radonjić Svetlana S.
Published: May 2024

Using the example of the novel Blue (Plava) by Magdalena Miković, the paper investigates the way in which emotions as mental states affect our physical health, cognitive development, decision-making, but also the understanding of literary texts. Given the fact that the best approach to explaining the representation of emotions in literary texts is to focus on the literary techniques that manifest emotional states, this paper tries to explain the textual strategies with the help of which the emotional roller coaster is represented, which resulted in a deeper understanding of readers.
A HUNDRED-HAND MOTHER (STORUČICA MAJKA) BY BRANKO V. RADIČEVIĆ
Authors:   University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Serbia, Kulidžan Gromović Bojana G.
Published: May 2024

In this paper, we shed light on the motif of the mother in Branko V. Radičević’s poetic work. Mother is the bearer of emotions such as joy, love, sadness, fear, worry, and anxiety. Her multiple roles in the household and caring for family members are united in the poem “A Hundred-Hand Mother” (“Storučica majka”). Following the lexeme of “hundred-hand”, we distinguish the positions of the symbol of the hand and its functions in the poet’s work. We analyze representative examples using the textual, biographical, and semiotic methods and point to some of the possible interpretations of the mother motif in the following books: Poems about a mother (1971) (Pesme o majci), Return to the land (1978) (Povratak zemlji), Groundsled (1978) (Zemljosanke). We draw the conclusion that “A Hundred-Hand Mother” in the literary work of Branko V. Radičević is a symbol of love and sacrifice closest to the Mother of God (an icon of Odigitria / The Guide, the Three-Handed Mother of God that are related to the motifs of mother’s hands, farewell)

Starting from Levinas’s position that “emotion does not follow the representation of the object” but precedes it, the paper shows the ways in which socially marginalized beings (animals, children), through longing for acceptance and longing for community, struggle in life with the involuntary push into loneliness. In the worlds of Finnish children’s literature, devoid of adults, we can see the ways in which different social and life edges merge in order for their representatives to overcome alienation by forming friendships. In this sense, an old man and a girl enter into a cooperative, business relationship in Magdalena Halonen’s and Teemu Juhani Karttunen’s story The Little Shop of Horrors, the homeless old man Kuna and a dog named Cat find each other in the story of the same name by Tomi Kontio, while the girl Tilly, in the story My Friend Donut Cookie, grows up, seeing in his purchased pony, a means of riding, a future friend. In this way, Fromm’s view of “freedom from” is transformed into “freedom for”, and the reader’s target group of children is inspired to see the world around them ethically in a different way.

DEMOKRAT PARTİ’NİN ATATÜRK VE TÜRK İNKILABI İLE İMTİHANI: “ATATÜRK ALEYHİNE İŞLENEN SUÇLAR HAKKINDA KANUN”
Authors: Uzun Hakan
Published: May 2024

1950 yılında iktidarı Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi’nden devralan ve halkın yaşamında İslam inancının etkili bir yere sahip olduğunun bilincinde olan Adnan Menderes, 22 Mayıs’ta Mecliste okuduğu hükümet programında “...millete mal olmuş inkılâpların mahfuz tutulacağı...” yönündeki sözleriyle, partisinin inkılâba bakış açısını yansıttığı gibi, toplumun dini inanışları konusunda nasıl bir siyaset izleyeceklerinin de ilk işaretini vermiştir. Demokrat Parti’nin (DP) din alanına yönelik düzenlemeleri kuşkusuz toplumun muhafazakâr kesimini mutlu etmiştir. Ancak yeni düzenlemelerden cesaret alan bazı kesimlerin, inkılâp/laiklik karşıtı olarak değerlendirilebilecek birtakım istekleri gündeme geldiği gibi, asıl olarak inkılâp karşıtı çevreler kendinde cesaret bulmuş ve Ticaniler gibi bazı radikal gruplar, Atatürk’ün manevi şahsına ve heykellerine yönelik saldırılarda bulunmaya başlamışlardır. DP, bir süre sonra sürekli artış gösteren ve gençlik başta olmak üzere, halkın büyük tepkisine yol açan bu tür olayları önlemek için kamuoyunda “Atatürk Kanunu” olarak da bilinen, “Atatürk Aleyhine İşlenen Suçlar Hakkında Kanun” adını taşıyan bir kanunu yürürlüğe koymuştur. Günümüzde de yürürlükte olan bu kanuna dayanılarak çok sayıda kişi hakkında işlem yapılmıştır. Zaman zaman gündeme getirilen ve halen eleştirilen bu kanun, aslında ilk andan itibaren TBMM’de sert tartışmalara yol açmış ve oldukça zor kabul edilmiştir.

Surgical site infections (SSIs) can disturb the healthcare systems, patients, and their families. In the pediatric population, adequate preventive measures, including appropriate surgical antibiotic prophylaxis (SAP), are essential to avoid the social, economic, and health concerns related to these infections. To describe the causes of inappropriate usage of SAP among pediatric patients, we used two databases, PubMed and Google Scholar, to conduct this review. We also manually screened the references of the articles reporting SSIs and SAP. The included articles were related to microorganisms associated with pediatric SSIs, causes of inappropriate SAP, and recommendations to improve their use. We excluded articles published in languages other than English and those beyond the scope of our review. Common causative microorganisms of pediatric SSIs are bacteria, mainly Staphylococcus aureus, and fungi, mainly Candida albicans. The appropriate use of SAP was based on three aspects: time and duration of administration, dose, and chosen antibiotics. The unavailability of international guidelines and fear of infectious factors force healthcare providers to administer SAP inappropriately. Other factors were related to the type of surgical operation, surgical wound classification, and weight of pediatric patients. Continuing education on guidelines for using antibiotics correctly and support from healthcare institutions by adopting adequate preventive measures can help ensure the appropriate use of SAP.
The Flag as a Symbol and Vision of Peace, Democracy, and Nation-Building

Published: May 2024

The design of the flag of Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H) illustrates both the objectives and limitations of intentional design’s role in national healing and state building following violent conflict. The architecture and design of public buildings, spaces, and symbols can facilitate sociability or reinforce segregation and hostility. This analysis contends that design, especially of public symbols intended to evoke emotions and unity, can facilitate healing. Yet in this case, the flag's design ignores the conflict, assumes a utopia, thus failing to move society to reconciliation.

The use of medical imaging in telemedicine insurance and other applications has grown significantly in recent years. imaging techniques used in medicine, such as ultrasound, X-rays, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). plays a crucial part in the diagnosis of numerous illnesses. The internet has quickly advanced in terms of sharing and transferring large volumes of data. Medical image transmission can be impacted by a variety of attacks and medical image kinds. putting forth a medical data security strategy and outlining the various obstacles that it faces. This strategy attains a high degree of security and withstands many attacks over an extended period of time. A thorough analysis of security methods, including steganography, encryption, and compression, is presented along with a comprehensive assessment of current studies. Ensuring the security of medical images during transmission is crucial in safeguarding patient privacy. Steganography and cryptography are needed for secure transmission in order to maintain data integrity and confidentiality. An application to embed a video or audio content in another file is the project's development. Its focus is on securely and robustly embedding information under a seemingly innocent shroud. This system uses the ideas of cryptography and steganography to make the data more secure. Using an encryption technique that is resilient to various attacks over time is essential for improving the cryptography portion of the system. The paper's goal is to provide an overview and evaluation of each approach's various algorithms using several metrics, including PSNR, MSE, BER, and NC.
