El objetivo del presente ejercicio de investigación fue caracterizar los factores docentes que inciden en la reprobación de estudiantes universitarios. El estudio tuvo un enfoque cuantitativo no experimental transversal. La selección de la población de estudio fue no probabilística. Se incluyó a la totalidad de los profesores que impartieron las unidades de aprendizaje durante los ciclos escolares febrero-junio 2019 y agosto-diciembre 2019 en una universidad de México. Se llevó a cabo un análisis descriptivo, a través del cual se determinaron la media, la mediana, las frecuencias absolutas y la desviación estándar. Además, se vincularon los factores docentes con el índice de reprobación a partir de una prueba de ji al cuadrado. Entre los resultados destaca que el índice de reprobación del periodo de análisis de los cursos de competencia genérica fue de 34.37 %, de los interdisciplinarios 10.85 % y de los de competencias específicas de 16.03 %. Asimismo, 68.97 % de los profesores demostró un nivel máximo de estudios de maestría y 88.89 % refirió más de cinco años de experiencia profesional en el ámbito docente. Al asociar el índice de reprobación con las variables de estudio, no hubo significatividad con las unidades de aprendizaje por competencia y la evaluación docente; sin embargo, sí hubo significancia con el nivel máximo de estudios, con la experiencia profesional y con la preparación pedagógica.

Nanotitania has been prepared by sol gel method using ethanolamine as surfactant. This research was conducted to determine the effect of ethanolamine on the phase formation, particle size and surface area of TiO2. In this study Ti-butoxide was used as a precursor and ethanol as a solvent, and then HCl. The amount of ethanolamine was varied to 0; 0.5; 1; 1.5; and 2 ml. The samples were calcined at a temperature of 500ºC for 4 hours. TiO2 was characterized using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Surface Area Analyzer (SAA) with BET method. The results of XRD characterization showed that in samples A-0.0 and A-0.5 an anatase phase was formed, whereas in the sample A-1,0 and A-1,5 an anatase, brookite, and rutile phases were formed with a weight percentage of 57,65 ± 1,6% wt; 27,06 ± 1,8% wt, and 15,29 ± 0,4% wt. Meanwhile, for sample A-1,5 it is 69,96 ± 1.6% wt, 24,52 ± 1,5% wt, and 5,52 ± 0,3% wt. Sample A-2.0 only produced anatase and brookite phases with weight percentages of 78,53 ± 1.5% wt and 21,47 ± 1.5% wt. The results of TEM characterization using ImageJ software show that the TiO2 particle size in sample A-1,0 was 15,8 ± 1,0 nm. The results of the analysis surface area of sample A-1, produced the largest specific surface area, that is 172 m2/g, the smallest specific surface area was produced in sample A-1,5 that is 72,07 m2/g.

The presented review of scientific findings is devoted to various aspects of influence of vegetarian diets on a growing organism. Following a vegetarian diet means excluding animal products from the diet. Experts are particularly concerned about the use of vegetarian diets in children due to nutritional deficiencies in children can lead to various pathological abnormalities with long-term consequences. The results of numerous studies performed both in our country and abroad have shown that the use of vegetarian diets in children is associated with high nutritional risks. In this regard, the observance of vegetarian types of nutrition by children should be accompanied by high awareness of parents on diet planning, as well as regular monitoring of health status of such children by pediatricians, nutritionists, and general practitioners.

Objective of the study: to determine the timing of optimal delivery and to identify the features of the course of the neonatal period in children from mothers with placental accreta. Materials and methods of research: the analysis of medical records of 140 children of mothers with placental accreta (main group) and 60 newborns of mothers without placental accreta (comparison group) of various gestational ages (GA), born in the period of 2014–2020, was carried out. The paper presents the results of a single-center retrospective non-randomized continuous comparative study. Results: the effect of GA on the length of the newborn's stay in the neonatal intensive care and intensive care units (ICU) and the hospital as a whole was confirmed. The dependence of the need for respiratory support in newborns on the gestational age was confirmed: with a decrease in GA, the need for respiratory support in newborns increases statistically significantly (p=0.0011), the need for traditional mechanical ventilation in newborns increases statistically significantly (p<0.001). When analyzing the frequency of occurrence of asphyxia, no statistically significant differences were found in the main group and in the comparison group. There were no statistically significant differences (p=0.229) in the body weight of newborns developing during pregnancy complicated by placenta previa compared with newborns born to mothers without a placental invasion anomalies. As a result of our study, there were no statistically significant differences in the length of stay in ICU and hospital for newborns of the same GA of the main group and the comparison group.

Objective of the study: to evaluate the effect of extra-abdominal liver location on the postnatal status of a newborn with omphalocele. Materials and methods of research: a single-center retrospective-prospective cohort continuous non-randomized controlled study was carried out for the period from September 2017 to December 2020. The study involved 110 newborns diagnosed with omphalocele and underwent surgical treatment from August 2007 to April 2019. 2 groups were formed from this cohort of patients: the 1st main group (63 children) – newborns with liver in omphalocele, the 2nd control group (47 children) – newborns without liver in omphalocele. Results: the prevalence of viscero-abdominal disproportion in newborns with omphalocele was 27% (p=0.001) in the 1st group of children, statistically significant compared with the 2nd group. In the 1st group, the duration of stay in the intensive care unit (ICU) significantly exceeded the periods in the 2nd group – 6 (4; 15) versus 3 (0.5; 6) days, p=0.01. In the postoperative period, the development of pulmonary hypertension prevailed in the 1st group – 22% of cases, in the 2nd group – 6% (p=0.032). The average time of transition to full enteral nutrition in both groups was statistically significantly different (11 [8; 19] versus 10.5 [6; 12] days, p=0.012). The cosmeticity of the abdominoplasty results was assessed as good in two groups – 80% and 94%, respectively, p=0.171. Conclusion: when choosing the tactics of surgical treatment, it is necessary to take into account the effect of the extra-abdominal location of the liver in the postoperative period. In the presence of liver in omphalocele, in a greater percentage of cases, a viscero-abdominal imbalance, and a pulmonary hypertension develop, the duration of the postoperative period in the ICU and in the hospital and the period of transition to enteral autonomy increase.

Hydrogen- and Methane-Loaded Shielding Materials for Mitigation of Galactic Cosmic Rays and Solar Particle Events
Authors: Rojdev Kristina , Atwell William
Published: January 2022

One of the challenges of human spaceflight in deep space is the harsh radiation environment. The current best practices for mitigating radiation are via design and multifunctional materials. There have been many studies over the years showing low-Z materials as the best radiation mitigators for spaceflight. In addition, there have recently been several studies investigating hydrogen-loading of materials for fuel cells. If it is possible to load a material with additional low-Z materials — such as hydrogen — it may be possible to increase the radiation mitigating potential of these materials. Thus, our work is focused on metal hydrides (MHs), metal organic frameworks (MOFs), and nanoporous carbon composites (CNTs) that can be loaded with hydrogen or methane for radiation mitigation. Our previous simulation work focused on hydrogen-loading only, and investigated the capability of these materials during a particularly hard solar particle event (SPE) in October 1989. In these simulations, we found 50% of the investigated carbon composites outperformed high-density polyethylene (HDPE) — the current standard for passive radiation shielding. We also found 10% of the investigated MOFs outperformed HDPE. Therefore, we wanted to continue our simulation study of these materials to determine whether they may also show improvement over HDPE in a galactic cosmic ray (GCR) environment. Furthermore, there are concerns with using hydrogen as a loading material — a result of its flammability and instability in thermal extremes. Thus, we are also considering methane-loading of the MOFs and CNTs. The details of this work will be discussed in the paper. Overall, the results showed several MOFs, CNTs, and MHs that performed very well when compared with our typical spacecraft material of aluminum and our standard shielding material of HDPE. This study also showed there is little difference in the dose between hydrogen-loaded and methane-loaded materials of the same base chemistry.
Microarray Identifies Transcription Factors Potentially Involved in Gravitropic Signal Transduction in Arabidopsis

Published: January 2022

Gravity is a fundamental stimulus that affects plant growth and development. The gravity persistent signal (GPS) treatment uses a cold treatment to isolate the events of signal transduction. Plants are reoriented horizontally in the dark at 4°C for 1 hour and then returned to vertical at room temperature. A gene expression microarray was designed to identify genes that are regulated during the GPS treatment. Arabidopsis thaliana var. Columbia was grown to maturity with inflorescence stems of 8-10 cm. Total mRNA was collected from inflorescence stems at 2, 4, 10, and 30 min after reorientation in the cold. cDNA was synthesized from the mRNA and then probed against an Arabidopsis gene expression array with 4 replicates per time point. Analyses presented here focus on transcription factors because of their regulatory functions in response pathways. Five transcription factors (AtAIB, WRKY18, WRKY26, WRKY33, and BT2) were selected for further study based on their expression at 4 min. Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction ((PCR) RT-qPCR) was performed to confirm expression seen in the microarray data. Seeds of Arabidopsis lines containing T-DNA insertions in the genes were obtained, plants bred to homozygosity, and the mutants analyzed for GPS phenotype. Mutant analysis shows significant differences in curvature of inflorescence stems between mutants and wild type.
Between Inclusion and Stagnation: Military Manpower Policy Towards Druze in Israel and Jews in Turkey
Authors: Assa Ophir
Published: January 2022

The Druze in Israel and the Jews in Turkey are two small ethnoreligious minority groups that share certain features. Nonetheless, the two groups have encountered very different policies from their respective governments concerning their integration into the military. While Israel has integrated the Druze, who have managed to reach senior and sensitive positions in the Israel Defense Force (IDF), Turkey has barely changed its recruitment policies regarding the Jewish minority since the early days of the Republic, and continues to refrain from placing Jews in command and officer functions. This paper presents four main reasons that explain the discrepancy between these two case studies: a historical factor; a cultural-religious factor; an ethnic-stereotypical factor; and a socioeconomic factor.
EKSISTENSI PEREMPUAN DALAM NOVEL PEREMPUAN BATIH KARYA A.R. RIZAL
Authors: Usman Arriyanti
Published: January 2022

This research aims to describe the form of marginalization as the others and the form of resistance as a form of existence in  the novel Perempuan Batih by A. R. Rizal. It’s based on the approach of existentialist feminism Simone de Beauvoir. The data of this study are descriptions which reveal the forms of marginalization as others and resistance as a form of existence in the novel Perempuan Batih. Data collection is done by reading, recording, and making data corpus techniques. Research data were analyzed using Simone de Beauvoir's existentialist feminism theory. The results of research conducted in 2019 found that the form of marginalization as others in the novel Perempuan Batih was a condition experienced by women whose position was always seen as not absolute. There are two forms of marginalization as others. First, differences in the position of women and men. Secondly, women's violence in terms of services in marriage. The form of resistance as a form of existence of a female character shows what is experienced by a female character who is related to other people and their environment to show and strengthen their existence as a woman. This form of existence can be seen from female figures who try to manifest themselves by working and showing their existence in society.

Recently, date (Phoenix dactylifera L.) seeds have gained much popularity due to their
vast applications that benefit people and the environment, elevated with plenty of research
on food product formulation, cosmetics, and medicinal supplements. Date seeds constitute
10-15% of the date fruit weight. Although date seeds are considered waste products,
however, they contain many valuable substances such as carbohydrates, oil, dietary fibre,
protein, bio-active polyphenol, tannin and natural antioxidants. Thus, valorisation of the
date seeds is necessary as the value could be utilized maximally if they are being studied
aptly. This study was intended to (i) evaluate the physical properties of beef and lamb in
terms of texture, pH, colour, cooking loss, and water holding capacity as affected by date
seed powder; and (ii) compare the tendering effect of date seed powder towards beef and
lamb. Texture profile analysis indicated significant differences (p≤0.05) in terms of
hardness, springiness, chewiness, and gumminess between the different amount of seed
powder used in marinated beef and lamb. The lowest pH value belonged to 20 g of date
seed powder which was 5.7 and 6.2 for beef and lamb, respectively. The colour of the
lamb was found to be significantly different in terms of lightness, redness, and yellowness
when date seed powder was used regardless of its amount. Both beef and lamb displayed a
statistically significant (p≤0.05) reduction of colour (L*, a*, and b*) from 20 g treatment
samples with 29.7 and 26.5, respectively over the control samples. For beef, redness and
yellowness demonstrated a significant difference (p≤0.05) for 20 g treatment samples
marinated with date seed powder. Both cooking loss and water holding capacity (WHC)
was reduced as the amount of date seed powder used was increased. Different amounts of
date seed powder affected the physical properties of beef and lamb, while 15 g and 20 g of
date seed powder showed a positive result in regards to meat tenderness.
Physico-chemical properties, rheological characteristics, and storage stability
of cold-break processed tomato paste enriched with rice flour
Authors: Alqahtani N. , Abdulsalam N. , Abduljawad E. , Alnemr T. , Ali S.
Published: January 2022

Tomato pastes (TP) enriched with rice flour (RF) were evaluated for physico-chemical
properties, rheological characteristics, and storage stability. TP was prepared from fresh
tomato fruits with the addition of RF at the levels of 2, 4, and 6% (w/w) using the cold
break method and stored for 12 weeks at ambient temperature. Insignificant changes in the
chemical compositions of TP samples were observed. Pastes contained RF revealed higher
L* values than control. During storage, L* and a* values of TP decreased, while b* values
increased. The a*/b* ratio of TP contained RF were approximately stable during storage
and were at acceptable levels. Samples contained RF showed higher pH and total soluble
solids (TSS) with lower ascorbic acid content (AAC), acidity, and Bostwick than control.
The AAC and pH decreased, whereas acidity, TSS, and Bostwick increased during
storage. The paste containing 4% RF showed the highest sensory scores among all tested
samples at zero time and during storage. Such findings may be helpful particularly for the
low-income population as it is a low-cost preservation method.

Owing to the presence of a diverse group of phytochemicals, spices could be potential
sources of antibacterial and antioxidant agents. The present investigation was aimed to
determine and compare the antimicrobial activities of different spices. A total of 5 spices
including cardamom (Seeds, Elettaria cardamomum), cinnamon (Barks, Cinnamomum
verum), clove (Flower buds, Syzygium aromaticum), Indian bay leaf or Tejpat (Dried
leaves, Cinnamomum tamala), and cumin (Seeds, Cuminum cyminum) were collected.
Different extracts (crude, aqueous, ethanolic, and methanolic) of spices were prepared and
examined for antimicrobial activity against previously isolated foodborne bacterial
isolates. Extracts from the tested spices showed significant inhibitory effects (mostly with
>10 mm mean zone of inhibition) as revealed by the agar well diffusion technique. Clove
among the tested spices was found to be the prominent one in eliminating foodborne
pathogens. Methanolic extracts followed by ethanolic extracts were determined to be most
effective against the bacterial isolates when the relative effectivity of different extracts
was compared. The frequently encountered minimal inhibitory and bactericidal
concentrations of the spices were 12 and 24 mg/mL, respectively. All the spice extracts
showed considerable antimicrobial traits which validate their potential and applicability as
natural food preservatives and decontaminants.
Impact of COVID-19 on mental health and psychosocial support services in the Eastern Mediterranean Region – results of a rapid assessment
Authors:   World Health Organization Regional Office for the Eastern Mediterranean, Elsawy Wafaa , Fouad Heba , Saeed Khalid
Published: January 2022

Background: Mental health has been identified by the World Health Organization as an integral component of the COVID-19 response. Aims: This study aimed to estimate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on mental, neurological and substance use disorders (MNS) services in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. Methods: The assessment was conducted through a web-based survey that was completed by national mental health focal persons and was analysed between June and August 2020. Results: School and workplace mental health services were wholly or partially disrupted in more than 70% of reporting countries. Fewer than 20% of the countries in the Region reported full operations of mental health services for children and adolescents or for older adults. The main reasons were travel restrictions, decreases in inpatient volumes due to the cancellation of elective care, decreases in outpatient volumes due to patients not presenting, and health authority directives for the closure of outpatient services. The majority (85%) of countries responded by establishing MNS helplines using telemedicine/teletherapy and digital psychological interventions. The fragile and conflict-affected states relied mostly on implementing infection prevention and control measures at MNS service facilities.

Hızlı nüfus artışı ve endüstriyelleşme ile her geçen gün artan su ihtiyacı ve atıksuların su kaynaklarına verdiği zararlar göz önüne alındığında, özellikle endüstriyel atıksuların deşarj öncesi arıtılması büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu endüstriyel atıksuların başında yüksek su tüketimi ve boyar madde konsantrasyonu ile tekstil endüstrisi gelmektedir. Boyar maddelerin atıksulardan uzaklaştırılması için çeşitli fiziksel, kimyasal ve biyolojik arıtma yöntemleri kullanılmaktadır. Bu yöntemler arasında hem işletme hem performans açısından en kolay ve verimli yöntem adsorpsiyon olarak bilinmektedir. Ancak adsorbanın üretilmesi ve rejenerasyonu, yüksek maliyet ve enerji gerektirdiğinden, adsorpsiyon prosesinde sürdürülebilir malzemeye dayalı alternatif düşük maliyetli adsorbanların geliştirilmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışmada yenilikçi ve çevre dostu selüloz nanokristal (SNK) katkılı aljinat adsorbanının üretilmesi ve metilen mavisi gideriminde kullanılması araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla SNK katkılı aljinat bilyelerin metilen mavisi giderim performansının belirlenmesi için farklı adsorban konsantrasyonu ve farklı boyar madde konsantrasyonlarında kesikli adsorpsiyon deneyleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. En yüksek metilen mavisi giderim verimi, 100 mg/L boyar madde konsantrasyonu ve 0,5 g adsorban/50 mL boyar madde çözeltisi şartlarında gerçekleştirilen çalışma ile %35 olarak bulunmuştur. Ayrıca üretilen adsorbanın yeniden kullanılabilirliğinin araştırılması için bir seri adsorpsiyon-desorpsiyon çalışması gerçekleştirilmiş ve adsorbanın rejenerasyonu incelenmiştir.

Kentang (Solanum tuberosum L.) adalah salah satu komoditi pangan penting di dunia. Penyediaan benih kentang generasi awal yang bebas penyakit sistemik virus merupakan masalah utama dalam pembudidayaan kentang. Produksi benih kentang generasi awal berupa umbi mini di rumah kaca masih memiliki resiko kontaminasi oleh penyakit virus. Teknik produksi umbi mikro secara in vitro dapat menjadi metode alternatif untuk produksi benih sumber. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menentukan media yang optimum dalam produksi umbi mikro pada empat genotipe kentang, yaitu AOTX98202-1RU, ATX9202-3RU, ATTX98468-5R/Y dan ATTX98518-5P/Y. Keempat genotipe dikulturkan pada media Murashige and Skoog (MS) dengan tambahan 6% sukrosa, dengan atau tanpa 2 g L-1 phytagel, dan dengan atau tanpa 10 mg L-1 kinetin. Stek dua buku dikulturkan pada tiap botol kultur, masing – masing dengan lima ulangan. Kultur diinkubasi selama dua minggu pada suhu 23°C dengan fotoperiode 16 jam terang/hari, lalu suhu 16 °C selama 2 minggu dengan fotoperiode 16 jam terang/hari, dan suhu 16 °C dalam ruang gelap selama 6 minggu, dan diamati selama 10 minggu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tiap genotipe memiliki respon yang berbeda terhadap media. Perlakuan 2 g L-1 phytagel + 10 mg L-1 kinetin (T4) merupakan media yang efektif untuk mendorong pertumbuhan umbi mikro pada genotipe ATTX98468-5R/Y dan ATTX98518-5P/Y. Genotipe ATTX98468-5R/Y pada media T4 menghasilkan umbi mikro terbanyak (4.2 umbi mikro/botol), sedangkan ATTX98518-5P/Y menghasilkan rata-rata berat umbi tertinggi (363.6 mg). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan pentingnya untuk mengembangkan protokol khusus untuk tiap genotipe agar mendapatkan produksi umbi mikro yang optimal.

Published: January 2022

Background and aim: The study aims to assess the cost-effectiveness of endovascular coiling and surgical clipping in the treatment of unruptured cerebral aneurysms.

Materials and methods: Patients with ICD 10 I67.1 and treated with one of the two treatment methods performed at the Hacettepe University Hospitals between January 2013 and December 2015 were included in the study. The cost data in the study were obtained by analyzing patient invoices through the automation program of the university hospital. The effectiveness and treatment costs were assessed using the Markov model with the Social Security Institution’s (SSI) perspective. To generate the cost input in the model, the lifetime costs obtained based on the expert’s opinions were added to the amounts received from patient invoices.

Results: The study results were presented as the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER). When 3% reduction rate was applied to the costs and effectiveness data, the Quality Adjusted Life Years (QALY) was calculated as 4.39 and 1.84 for the coiling and clipping methods, respectively. Lifetime costs were 66463.40$ and 7900.27$ for the coiling and clipping methods, respectively. The incremental cost-effectiveness rate of endovascular coiling method was 22965.93.

Conclusion: The endovascular coiling method was found to be cost-effective because the ICER score of the process is below the threshold.

Anatomic Variation of Type III Right Testicular Venous Drainage: A Case Report
Authors: OGUT Eren , BARUT Çağatay
Published: January 2022

The testicular vein exhibits variations in number, course, and insertion. Such differences may enhance the risk of varicocele and complication in patients by impairing testicular drainage. The following is a case report of the abnormal drainage of the right testicular vein (RTV) draining into the right renal vein (RRV). The incidence, course, insertion, and termination angle of the testicular veins were measured with a 150 mm digital Vernier dial microcaliper, and photographs were taken by Canon EOS 70D using a 100mm macro lens. In one out of seven cadavers (14.28%), the right testicular vein (RTV) drained into the right renal vein (RRV) (Type III) rather than into the inferior vena cava (IVC) at a 90° angle 0.4 cm from the IVC. The double (medial and lateral) left testicular veins (LTV) drained into the left renal vein (LRV) at a 62° angle 5 cm from the IVC. The understanding of type III RTV drainage or course can provide crucial data for surgeons in order to prevent complications during right-sided varicocele surgery.
