Authors: DOĞAN Murat , BOYACIOĞLU Mehmet , DOĞAN Ayşe Gülşen
Published: January 2022

Objective: To determine the relationship between neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet/ lymphocyte ratio (PLR) and mean platelet volume (MPV) with acute phase reactants in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and to show the usability of these parameters in the activation periods and follow-up of the disease.

Material and Method: The demographic data (age, gender) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) score of 70 patients who had been followed regularly for at least 1 year and whose diagnosis of AS was definite were recorded. The control group consists of 70 people who do not have any disease. Among the laboratory parameters, neutrophil, platelet, lymphocyte count, C-reactive protein(CRP), erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR), NLR, PLR and MPV values were retrospectively checked and recorded.

Results: In our study, a statistically significant difference was found between the AS patients and the control group in MPV, NLR and PLR values. In addition, these values were found to be statistically significantly different between the groups with low disease activity and high disease activity in the AS patient group. There was a weak negative correlation between MPV value and BASDAI, ESR and CRP values. There was no statistically significant correlation between NLR value and ESR and CRP. There was no correlation between PLR value and ESR and CRP.

Conclusion: As a result of our study, NLR, PLR and MPV values are seen as simple, easy and inexpensive markers that can be used to determine disease activity in AS patients.

Published: January 2022

Aim: Fennell et al. describe a simple, effective freehand technique for thoracic pedicle screw insertion. In this study, we aimed to compare the patients undergoing upper thoracic pedicle screw insertion with the Fennell technique simulated on Pedicle Screw Simulator (PSS) and those recruited to the same procedure utilizing C-arm fluoroscopy.

Material and Method: First, we uploaded pre-operative CT images of 12 patients to the PSS module, which was used in our study to calculate the screw angle and visualize the pedicle screw entry point and trajectories. Then, we created three-dimensional vertebral models of the patients to simulate screw placement using visualization tool kit (VTK), open-source software for 3D computer graphics and visualization, available free of charge as part of 3D Slicer. Next, we placed pedicle screws through pre-determined anatomic regions. C-arm fluoroscopy-guided pedicle screws were placed in the patients in the control group. The amount of bleeding, operation times and correct screw placement data were recorded in both groups.

Results: 24 patients were included in the study. The mean age of the patients was 32.3±4.1 years. We applied 80 pedicle screws to Group 1 and 72 to Group 2. According to the malposition classification by Rao et al. on postoperative CTs, 68 patients in Group 1 were classified as Grade 0, 8 as Grade 1, 4 as Grade 2. Yet, there were no statistical differences between the groups by Rao et al.’s classification (p>0.05). While the mean operation time of Group 1 was 138±34 minutes, it was 162±44 minutes in Group 2. The groups significantly differed by operation time (p
The efficiency of HALP score, neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, and platelet-lymphocyte ratio in predicting mortality in intensive care patients
Authors: KOCAOĞLU Salih , ALATLI Tufan
Published: January 2022

Objective: The HALP Score, which is a combination of hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocytes, and platelets, is a new index that shows nutritional status and systemic inflammation, provides information about patient prognosis. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship of HALP score, platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and with poor prognosis in intensive care patients.

Material and Method: Our study was designed retrospectively on patients admitted from the emergency department (ED) to the intensive care unit (ICU). HALP scores, PLR and NLR values were calculated from the hemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, platelet and neutrophil values taken from the patients within 24 hours. One-week and three-month mortality were determined as poor outcomes. The relationship between results and poor outcomes was investigated.

Results: A total of 250 patients were included in the study. The median age of the patients was 72.5%, and 43.6% (n=109) were female. When the variables between survivors and non-survivors were compared, NLR was found to be significantly higher in non-survivors. In addition, there was a significant difference between the two groups in terms of both one-week and three-month mortality regarding age, albumin, lymphocyte, and thrombocyte values. When we analyzed the diagnostic performances of HALP Score, NLR, and PLR for one-week and three-month mortality, only NLR showed significant diagnostic performance. The optimal cut-off point for NLR for both one-week and three-month mortality was 8.22 (for one-week mortality: AUC=0.598, p=0.007; for three-month mortality: AUC=0.592, p=0.011).

Conclusion: It was observed that the HALP score was not an effective parameter in predicting prognosis in intensive care patients. It is thought that NLR has a significant relationship with one-week and three-month mortality and can be used as an effective parameter in the prediction of prognosis in intensive care patients.

The effect of the number of anchors used in the medial row on clinical outcomes in arthroscopic double row repair of rotator cuff tears: retrospective evaluation of patients with 3 to 7 years of follow-up
Authors: CENGİZ Bertan
Published: January 2022

Aim: Arthroscopic double row (DR) suture anchor repair is one of the most frequently applied methods in the surgical treatment of rotator cuff tear (RCT). Various modifications have been tried to eliminate some of the disadvantages of this technique such as operation time, high cost, and the high risk of retearing. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether placing a single or double suture anchor in the medial row affects clinical and functional outcomes and retear rates in patients with RCT who were operated with the DR suture anchor technique.

Material and Method: A retrospective study including 58 patients aged 18-65 years who underwent DR suture anchor repair due to medium-sized RCT and had a minimum follow-up period of 3 years was conducted. One knotless anchor was placed in the lateral row in all patients. In the medial row, we placed 1 all suture anchor (ASA) in group 1 and 2 ASAs in group 2. Visual pain scale (VAS), University of California Los Angeles Score (UCLA), American shoulder and elbow score (ASES) scales were used for preoperative and postoperative clinical and functional evaluation, and complications and retears were recorded.

Results: When the preoperative and postoperative VAS, UCLA and ASES scores were compared within groups, there were significant difference from pre- to post-operative findings in both groups (p 0.05). Operation time in Group 1 was significantly shorter than in Group 2 (p
Evaluation of hospital acquired infections in the tertiary intensive care unit: a three-year analysis
Authors: YILMAZ AYDIN Fatma , AYDIN Emre
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Hospital-acquired infections (HAI) occurring in intensive care units (ICUs) are an important risk factor for mortality and morbidity. In some patient groups followed in ICUs, the risk of developing nosocomial infections increases even more. Especially, patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) carry a serious risk for HAI when they are hospitalized in ICUs. Our aim is to determine the rate and incidence of hospital infection, the distribution of infections and the most common microorganisms in our ICU, to initiate appropriate empirical treatment and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.

Material and Method: A total 158 patients with a diagnosis of hospital-acquired infection hospitalized between January 2017 and December 2019 at general internal medicine intensive care unit, were included in this study. The clinical findings, culture results and laboratory data of the patients were recorded. According to years, the HAI rate, density and infection agents in the ICU were determined.

Results: 158 episodes of nosocomial infections were detected in 128 of 556 patients who were hospitalized within three years. The hospitalization day was 9048, and the three-year ICU HAI rate was calculated as 29.19%. HAI density was 17.45 in 1000 patient days. Bloodstream infection was the most common (30.38%), followed by ventilator-associated pneumonia (28.48%) and catheter-related urinary tract infection (24.68%). Gram-negative microorganisms were the most common infectious agents. Among the Gram-negative bacteria, the most frequently isolated bacteria were A. baumannii, K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa. Among Gram-positive bacteria, Enterococcus spp. was most frequently isolated

Conclusion: The risk of HAI is high in patients hospitalized in ICUs. In order to control nosocomial infections, HAI incidences and rates should be evaluated, infectious agents, and prospective effective infection control strategies should be developed by taking necessary precautions according to surveillance results. These measures will significantly reduce the incidence of HAI.
Goeckerman therapy versus methotrexate for psoriasis: a study on military personnel
Authors: YÜREKLİ Aslan , TUNCA Mustafa , KÜÇÜK Kadir , BOTSALİ Ayşenur , ÇALIŞKAN Ercan
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Although methotrexate is a widely used systemic medication for psoriasis, a restrictive cumulative dosage limits its use in each patient, and a liver biopsy is recommended when the cumulative dose reaches 3.5–4.0 mg. As an alternative, Goeckerman therapy is a safe, efficient, tar-based method of treating psoriasis but one used increasingly less in recent decades due to the inconvenience of tar application and of requiring outpatients to remain covered in tar before receiving phototherapy hours if not a day later. However, for patients such as soldiers who can be treated as inpatients, Goeckerman therapy is preferable due to its efficacy and good safety profile.

Material and Method: We retrospectively evaluated 96 patients with psoriasis, all military personnel, who had been treated with either methotrexate (n=49) or Goeckerman therapy (n=47) between 2012 and 2016. Their baseline and exit Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) scores were comparatively analyzed.

Results: No statistical difference in relative recovery emerged between patients who had received methotrexate and ones who had undergone Goeckerman therapy. Both groups had achieved a mean PASI score of 75 at approximately the same time.

Conclusion: When the rapid return to work is important, we recommend using Goeckerman therapy to treat psoriasis given its relatively low side effect profile and lack of immunosuppressive action. Both advantages can benefit patients such as soldiers who are able to undergo treatment in inpatient settings, cannot meet physicians frequently due to work requirements, and cannot avoid the risk of infection (i.e., a risk factor for methotrexate use) due to living in crowded spaces.
‘We are all Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn’: Insecurity, Ethno-regional Hegemony and Resistance in Southwest Nigeria
Authors: Ololajulo Babajide Olusoji
Published: January 2022

This article offers an interpretation of Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn, a security outfit established by the governors of Southwest Nigeria to tackle rising cases of insecurity in the region. In the light of existing discourse of identity politics in Nigeria; the inauguration of the outfit in early 2020 initially sets the southwest states on collision course with the federal government due to the fact that the police in Nigeria are centrally controlled. Drawing from online news reports and qualitative data obtained through interview the article argues that Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn together with the controversies that follow the launch illustrates a particular way in which the Yorùbá of southwest Nigeria construct and as well resist real or imagined ethno-regional hegemony. Although created to address insecurity, the shared meanings that grow out of Àmọ̀tẹ́kùn emphasize more complex significations: Yorùbá trailblazing tradition, succor from the suffocating silence and inactivity of the Nigerian state, possibility of political restructuring, and more importantly, resistance of ethno-regional hegemony.

Published: January 2022

The purpose of this study aims to investigate a causality relationship between Construction Cost Index (CCI) and economic growth, between investment and economic growth, and between human development index and economic growth in North Maluku Province. With the error correction model approach, this study was carried out with the Granger causality method. The findings indicate that the economic growth and the Construction Cost Index affected the value of economic growth significantly. While the value change in the Construction Cost Index is statistically insignificant to affect the value of Economic Growth implying no causality relationship between the variables of Construction Cost Index to economic growth. There is only a one-way relationship, namely economic growth affecting the Construction Cost Index . Economic growth and investment have an association to changes in the value of economic growth significantly affecting the value of Investment. Humans do not have a causality (causal) relationship affecting each other or the Human Development Index (HDI) has no chance of being a dependent variable in the quarter of 2010 to 2019.

Published: January 2022

In modern life sciences, the issue of a specific, exogenously directed manipulation of a cells biochemistry is a highly topical one. In the case of electrically excitable cells, the aim of the manipulation is to control the cells electrical activity, with the result being either excitation with subsequent generation of an action potential or inhibition and suppression of the excitatory currents. The techniques of electrical activity stimulation are of particular significance in tackling the most challenging basic problem: figuring out how the nervous system of higher multicellular organisms functions. At this juncture, when neuroscience is gradually abandoning the reductionist approach in favor of the direct investigation of complex neuronal systems, minimally invasive methods for brain tissue stimulation are becoming the basic element in the toolbox of those involved in the field. In this review, we describe three approaches that are based on the delivery of exogenous, genetically encoded molecules sensitive to external stimuli into the nervous tissue. These approaches include optogenetics (overviewed in Part I), as well as chemogenetics and thermogenetics (described here, in Part II), which is significantly different not only in the nature of the stimuli and structure of the appropriate effector proteins, but also in the details of experimental applications. The latter circumstance is an indication that these are rather complementary than competing techniques.

Published: January 2022

A inclusão escolar é um movimento que busca alcançar pessoas que estão fora do contexto escolar devido sua condição diferente. O termo “necessidades especiais” é amplo e envolve muitos fatores. Segundo a legislação é aplicável a qualquer ser humano que tenha impedimento de natureza física, mental, intelectual e/ou sensorial, impedindo sua participação na vida cotidiana e escolar. O conceito “Altas habilidades / Superdotação” ainda é discutível. O mais atual, adotado pela nossa legislação, se refere ao desempenho do indivíduo em sua área de interesse, demonstrando capacidade acima da média. O objetivo deste trabalho foi fazer uma revisão bibliográfica sobre altas habilidades no ensino EPT e regular presentes em publicações nos últimos cinco anos. Foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica sobre altas habilidades/Superdotação, em língua portuguesa, em bases de dados de pesquisa como Scientific Electronic Library Online – SciELO e Google Acadêmico, entre 2017 e 2021. A inclusão é um processo que requer uma mudança de atitude em relação às pessoas que são consideradas diferentes. Na educação esse movimento começa a ganhar espaço nas escolas, e a educação inclusiva se torna, devagar, uma realidade. Nesse contexto, as pessoas com indicadores de AH/SD sofrem dos mesmos problemas, com o agravante de serem considerados alunos sem dificuldade (e com facilidade) de aprendizagem. O processo de ensino necessita de adequações de processos, de materiais e de formação adequada para todos os professores. Na Educação Profissional os problemas quanto a identificação e atendimento desse público parece ser semelhante ao da escola regular. outras modalidades de ensino.

Femoral fracture hospitalizations among the elderly in Roraima, Brazil
Authors: Borghetti Gina
Published: January 2022

Introduction: Femoral fractures in the elderly increase the risk of morbidity and mortality, and are usually necessary for hospitalization. Due to the relevance of the theme in public health and the lack of information about the situation in the state in the period between 2015 and 2019, the following question arose: According to age group and gender, what is the profile of hospital admissions due to femoral fracture among the elderly in Roraima in this period? Objective: To describe hospital admissions for femoral fracture among the elderly, between 2015 and 2019 in the State of Roraima, Brazil. Method: This is a descriptive study, with a quantitative approach, using data from the Hospital Information System[2] of the Unified Health System[3] in the period from 2015 to 2019. For frequency analyses, codes related to femoral fracture were used according to the 10th revision of the International Classification of Diseases, age group, gender and hospital deaths. Results: It was observed that female gender was the most prevalent in hospitalizations for femur fracture (56.4%). Stratified by age group, 80 years and more represented 38.7% of hospitalizations, mostly women. This same profile was observed when hospitalizations for femoral fracture with proximal location were analyzed. Among hospitalizations with the outcome of death due to femoral fracture, there was a predominance among women aged 80 years and over (66.7%). Final considerations: In this study, it was observed that hospitalizations and hospital deaths due to femoral fracture were more prevalent in octogenarian women. Health strategies, such as the prevention of falls, should be directed to the elderly population, especially women, who are the most affected by this disease.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects that time and community assistance (in the form of donations) had on accrued recoveries from the Novel Coronavirus. This study examined donation transaction data from a community-based national virtual donation platform in conjunction with government released figures on populations and COVID-19 cases in the Philippines. Findings from a Generalized Linear Model showed that at a 0.001 level of significance, the passage of time affected accrued recoveries by about 14 (13.23) daily, while cumulative individual donations improved recoveries by about 2 (1.69) people. A series of simulations that visualized the effects of time and donations on recoveries evidenced that accrued recoveries were accelerated by donations. Results from the analysis generated a series of recommendations based on Resource-Advantage Theory, along with Disaster Management Theory as applied to supply-chains. The first recommendation was to allow broader access to the platform as an information exchange. An expansion of the crowdsourcing features on the platform was a second recommendation. A third recommendation was establishing a relief distribution network prior to the next disaster.

Published: January 2022

This research paper is an exploratory examination of the complex migrant situation in Italy. Beginning with a historical-comparative examination of how Italy’s migration policies and laws evolved over the years, informing the current situation concerning the country’s management of migration flows and the subsequent treatment of migrants arriving to its coasts, before finally discussing the most recent rise of the right, and anti-migrant policies. It identifies the current and most controversial topics concerning the region; Italy’s management and the problematic treatment of migrants arriving to its coasts and the eroding relationship between the country and the rest of the international community as it deals with the continuing challenge.
Exploring the Development of a Context-Based Composite Environmental Sustainability Indicator for the Brewing Industry
Authors: Grosseth Sigrid Solveig Linnea
Published: January 2022

This research explores environmental reporting in the brewing industry through collecting the indicators breweries are reporting on and determining the extent of science-based environmental targets in reports. A content analysis of brewery websites and public reports was conducted to collect the environmental indicators and targets of breweries. This information was used to inform the development of a brewery-specific environmental composite-indicator framework and to answer the following: Are the indicators breweries report enough to measure environmental sustainability in relation to global limits? The composite-indicator framework draws from the Planetary Boundaries (i.e., global limits) and subsequently developed Planetary Quotas as the basis for setting its indicator targets. It was found that some breweries are reporting on many industry-relevant areas of environmental importance and using science-based emissions targets. However, supply chain contributions (e.g., agriculture) are not fully considered when reporting, which leads to a lack of necessary information when calculating global environmental impacts.

The Canadian healthcare system is among the most well-recognized healthcare systems in the world; however, it has been facing many challenges in several recent years.

In this paper, we plan to understand how Software Engineering and Software Reuse can help the Canadian Healthcare system become more efficient and effective in treating chronic illnesses and for this thesis primarily Type-2 Diabetes (T2D).

The investigators in this research, attempt to understand the current state of healthcare in Canada and then, with the help of Software Engineering and Software Reusability concepts, propose a simulation software package.

In the end, we used the developed software to simulate a randomized controlled trial (RCT) for testing the cost-effectiveness of two prevention programs of gym incentives and diabetes prevention program versus a control group not enrolled in any prevention program.
High Interest, Low Adoption. A Mixed-Method Investigation Into the Factors Influencing Organizational Adoption of Blockchain Technology
Authors: Kennedy Ryan William
Published: January 2022

Statistics show high levels of interest in blockchain technology, however, considerable adoption has not occurred. This research examines why interest is high, yet levels of adoption are low, by identifying the factors influencing blockchain’s adoption and systematizing them into a theoretical framework. A mixed methodology is used to address the adoption factors. First, a qualitative approach is used to discover the factors from primary data collected from 25 interviews with 23 different organizations. Second, a survey is employed to empirically test the factors with 146 employees from 71 organizations. A total of 18 factors are discovered and seven are tested. The findings support and validate several factors influencing blockchain adoption and contribute a novel factor; perceived technological volatility. A new empirically validated scale is developed to measure organizational perceptions of a technology’s volatility. Furthermore, this research is one of the first to employ a mixed methodology to address blockchain technology adoption.
Hedge Fund Equity Ownership and Trading and Its Predictive Power Toward Equity Market
Authors: Song Biying
Published: January 2022

This article analyzes the determinants of hedge funds’ equity ownership and trading during 2000 - 2018, and their predictive power for future equity market. Their equity ownership and size experienced a huge increase during pre-financial crisis, had a dramatic drop during crisis period, and remain stable afterwards. During financial crisis, hedge funds hold older stocks with low volatility, but during post-crisis periods, they hold younger stocks with higher volatility. Hedge fund equity ownership predicts positive long-term future equity returns during both precrisis and crisis period, and its trading predicts positive short-term returns followed by a reversal pattern during the post-crisis period. In addition, hedge funds with different characteristics contain different predictive powers. Young hedge funds have better predictive power than old hedge funds. Large hedge funds have better predictive power than small hedge funds. Hedge funds with high flow have a clearer predictive pattern than hedge funds with low flow.

Kajian ini akan mencoba mengeksplorasi konsep masyiah dengan menampilkan perdebatan sengit yang terjadi di kalangan mutakallimin mengenai kehendak Allah dan kehendak manusia. Setelah itu, pembahasan selanjutnya dari konsep masyiah ini akan digali konsep-konsep yang terkait dengan pendidikan sehingga hasilnya nanti diharapkan dapat memberikan arah, sejauhmana sebenarnya wilayah ikhtiar manusia dalam pendidikan agar mereka bisa membantu memanusiakan manusia. Gagasan mengenai kehendak Allah (masyiatullah) banyak sekali diterangkan dalam al-Qur’an. Allah seringkali menegaskan bahwa diri-Nya mempunyai masyiah dalam hubungan-Nya dengan manusia. Misalnya, “Dia menurunkan kemuliaan-Nya kepada hamba yang dikehendaki-Nya” (QS. al-Baqarah: 90). Selain ayat ini, masih banyak lagi ayat yang menerangkan tentang kemutlakan kehendak Allah. Diantaranya surat al-Baqarah: 253, Ali Imran: 40, Al-An’am: 112, Yunus: 99, Hud: 118 dan masih banyak lagi ayat-ayat lainnya.
