Ifis, ali zdaj uživaš bolj?
Authors: Pan Maja
Published: December 2022

Prispevek se osredotoča na Ifisino/Ifisovo zgodbo o spremembi ženske v moškega iz Ovidijevih Metamorfoz. Pretresa jo skozi vprašanje, kako pristopiti k problemu imenovanja časovno in kulturno oddaljenega spola in seksualnosti, do tega, na kakšne načine je možno opredeliti ideologijo, vezano za motiv spremembe ženske v moškega v Ovidijevi zastavitvi. Izhodišče razprave je, da spol, seksualnost in pripadajoča historična imena v prvi vrsti razume kot oblastna razmerja. Slednja svoja ideološka oporišča najdevajo tudi v »literaturi«, ki zato to nemogoče, čarobno in domišljijsko, bistveno omejuje. Skozi širšo analizo rimske in helenistične falocentričnosti, maskulinizacije in anahronizacije tribas ter problema zastavitve lezbištva kot monstruoznega, tujerodnega (grškega), skratka oksimorona, razpravo naposled odpre dekonstrukcijskemu zaključku, v katerem postane jasneje vsaj to, na čem je tejrezijansko vprašanje o človekovem užitku dejansko osnovano.
Težave z erosom
Authors: Senegačnik Brane
Published: December 2022

Eros sodi med »osnovne fenomene človeškega obstoja« (E. Fink) in presega območje literature, tudi njegova literarna fenomenologija pa je neobvladljivo široka. Članek v prvem delu skicira razmerje med predrefleksivno resničnostjo (Merleau-Ponty) erotičnih pojavov in njihovimi konceptualnimi in poetičnimi izrazi v literaturi arahajske in klasične dobe. Ti izrazi so močno odvisni od dinamike in oblike erotičnih izkušenj, od njihove religiozne in kulturne interpretacije (sem spada tudi vprašanje dvojnosti oziroma enotnosti Erosa in Afrodite in njunih kultov), pa tudi od žanrskih konvencij. V nadaljevanju so obravnavani trije primeri zelo različne in kompleksne etične tematizacije erosa/Erosa. Vloga Erosa v Teogoniji ni jasna: očitno pa je, da ni omejena na to, kar danes opredeljujemo kot biološki svet, temveč njegova kozmogonična moč sega tudi v anorgansko oziroma geološko realnost na eni in v kulturo na drugi strani. Eros v Sofoklovi Antigoni je poguben, kot je v tragediji običajno; v nasprotju s konvencionalnim prepričanjem, ki ga izrazi zbor, pa ni izvor krivičnega ravnanja, ampak vsaj v začetku presenetljivo deluje v svojskem soglasju z velikimi zakoni. Tudi vloga Afrodite v Sapfinem fragmentu 16 (Voigt) je bila deležna izredno različnih interpretacij: med sodobnimi, ki jo večinoma vrednotijo izrazito pozitivno, je najti tudi takšno, po kateri je erotično poželenje temelj nove (ženske) moralne subjektivitete; ne glede na utemeljenost in obranljivost takšna teza dokazuje izredno dinamičnost in kompleksnost erotičnega fenomena ne le v arhajski poeziji sami, temveč tudi in še bolj v njeni sodobni literarni in kulturološki kritiki.
Evripidova Medeja in svetopisemska Visoka pesem na preizkusu ljubezenskega diskurza
Authors: Avsenik Nabergoj Irena
Published: December 2022

Članek v kontekstualni analizi besedišča o ljubezni v Evripidovi Medeji in svetopisemski Visoki pesmi odpira temeljno metodološko vprašanje, kakšno je v grški kulturi razmerje med semantičnim poljem glagola erân in  samostalnika érōs, ki označujeta čutno in spolno ljubezen, ter semantičnim poljem glagola agapân in samostalnika agápē, ki označujeta duhovno raven ljubezni. V grškem prevodu Stare zaveze (Septuaginta) so glagol agapân in samostalnik agápē povsod uporabili za prevod hebrejskega glagola ’āhab in samostalnika ’ăhābāh, ki izražata celoten razpon ljubezni, od izrazito čutne do izrazito duhovne izkušnje. Članek kritično presoja težnjo razlagalcev, da že na osnovi besedišča vidijo nasprotje med »erotičnim« oziroma »duhovnim« pomenom navedenega besedišča in premalo, če sploh, upoštevajo polisemno rabo besedišča. Polisemna raba besede agápē v stari grški kulturi in religiji se med drugim kaže v tem, da izbira samostalnika agápē oziroma glagola agapân namesto samostalnika érōs oziroma glagola erân v najstarejšem grškem prevodu Stare zaveze ne pomeni izključevanja erotične razsežnosti ljubezni. Že v zgodnjem krščanstvu pa se včasih pojavlja tudi raba besede érōs v primerih strastne človekove ljubezni do Boga, za katero bi pričakovali izbiro samostalnika agápē oziroma glagola agapân.
Karaite Self-Perception: A Study of Two Vilnius Periodicals Karaimskoye Slovo and Myśl Karaimska
Authors: Klimova Veronika
Published: December 2022

This study aims to reconstruct the self-perception of the Karaite community in Vilnius during 1913–1939. The research is based on a review of two Karaite periodicals, Караимскоеcлово(Karaite Word), published in Russian from 1913–1914, and Myśl Karaimska (Karaite Thought), published in Polish from 1924–1939. Both periodicals served to develop national selfawareness and a spiritual revival of the whole Karaite nation by covering history, politics and literature. In Karaimskoye Slovo, Karaites identified themselves as Israelites; in Myśl Karaimska, some high-level representatives openly emphasized their Turkic origins. State and institutional discrimination against the Jewish population had become a major issue over the years, creating a volatile platform for change while breaking with the eternal sense of Karaite identity as people of Israel. This paper contributes to the literature on the history of the Karaite community in Vilnius in the early decades of the twentieth century.
An Immigrant Novel Revisited: Jean Kwok’s Girl in Translation
Authors: Gasztold Brygida
Published: December 2022

The article explores the genre of immigrant narrative, comparing two early-twentieth century novels written by the Jewish-American writers Mary Antin and Anzia Yezierska with a contemporary novel penned by the Chinese-American author Jean Kwok. Taking adaptation theory (Sanders 2006 and Hutcheon 2006) as a starting point, I examine how Kwok’s novel adapts, revises, and reimagines a familiar pattern across time and cultures in order to make it representative of Chinese Americans. The analysis draws attention to experiences of Chinese immigrant women, their class membership and socio-economic status.
Uloga interpretacijskog procesa u razvoju emocionalnog odgovora na povredu psihološkog ugovora / The Role of The Interpretation Process in The Development of An Emotional Response to A Psychological Contract Breach
Authors: Markovic Mirna
Published: December 2022

The psychological contract is a perceived agreement on mutual obligations and resource exchange, which in the academic work context will first be recognized in the relationship between teaching staff and higher education organizations. This is an implicit contract formed based on given or just implied promises, which the parties in the relationship do not have to be fully aware of. However, such a contract will guide their mutual behaviour, and a number of individually and organizationally relevant outcomes will depend on its (un) fulfilment. Since the concept of a psychological contract is relatively new and unexplored in the Bosnian academic context, this paper sought to answer the question: Does the perception of a psychological contract breach lead to an emotional reaction to that breach, and under what conditions? Following the identified problem, the correlation between the perceived breach of the psychological contract and the emotional reaction to the breach, and the moderating influence of the interpretive process (defined through attribution of causes, perception of fairness and perception of organizational politics) on this relationship was examined. The results suggest that in a sample of Bosnian academic staff it is justified to say that the correlation between the perceived psychological contract breach and emotional response to that breach will be stronger if the staff members perceive interactional fairness in the organization to be high. The academic staff’s perception of the presence of political behaviour in the organization, as well as the way they attribute the causes of the psychological contract breach, probably does not have a significant impact on their interpretation of the psychological contract breach.
Propaganda u službi manipulativnog komuniciranja / Propaganda in the Service of Manipulative Communication
Authors: Porča Dženan
Published: December 2022

This paper focuses on propaganda as a form of one-sided, manipulative communication. We are exposed to various types of manipulation every day. Given that every form of manipulation involves some kind of interest, it is necessary then to tackle the very core of the issue i.e., to clarify the ways in which propaganda works to implicitly reach predetermined and desirable goals. Propaganda, as one of the communicative aspects of manipulation, has got an extremely complex content value and therefore the strongest influence on communication. It is important to note that communication as a category related to propaganda is, as such, mostly considered at the level of social groups, communities and the public. Propaganda communication, therefore, affects public opinion and can change the very course of communication. This paper aims to describe the relationship between propaganda and communication first, while correlating them to some other, similar concepts, such as informing. Further in the paper, we focus on the idea of propaganda as a planned and organized form of manipulation. In the final part, propaganda is considered within a broader framework of communication.
"Dostojevština" i ruska emigracija u kraljevstvu SHS/Jugoslaviji / The Phenomenon of "Dostoevshchina" and Russian Emigration in The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, And Slovenes/Yugoslavia
Authors: Antanasijević Irina
Published: December 2022

This article aims to present an overview of the concept of ‘dostoevshchina’ in the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes / Yugoslavia, as well as to point out the similarities and differences in the perception of this concept in Soviet Russia and the Russian diaspora, respectively. The article attempts to clarify the status of this concept in the Balkans, and analyse the book Dostoevsky and Dostoevshchina by philosopher and missionary Grigory Spiridonovich Petrov. Studying the disputes about Dostoevsky from magazines worldwide, and those from “Russia Abroad”, helps the researcher understand the issues that both Soviet Russia and the Russian diaspora faced at the time and dealt with by relying on the ideas from Dostoevsky’s opus.
Dezorijentirani psihološko nestabilni likovi kroz monološko-asocijativne elemente u djelima Dostojevskog / Disoriented Psychologically Unstable Characters Through Monologue-AssoCiative Elements in The Works of F. M. Dostoevsky
Authors: Beganović Lejla
Published: December 2022

The focus of this paper is unusual, disoriented, often psychologically unstable characters, for they represent the layer of society where emotional instability and immaturity, the desire for personal domination and the desire for liberation from all moral and social shackles are evident. The paper shows that, in addition to the characteristics specific to the characters of realism, Dostoevsky, using monological-associative elements, introduces new procedures for creating characters, specific to modernism. In this regard, the paper reconstructs the ideological understanding of Russian society and the conditions in which Dostoevsky examines ideology and spirituality of human beings through monologue-associative elements.
Modelling and Simulation for the use of Natural Waste to Purified Contaminated Heavy Metals
Authors: Al-Ali Suha Ibrahim Salih , Abudi Zaidun Naji , Abbas Mohammed Nsaif
Published: December 2022

The possibility of recovering one of the famous heavy metal ions, divalent copper, from contaminated aqueous solutions (which simulates wastewater) was studied in this study. The removal method was adsorption technique using a laboratory batch-mode unit, while the used tea leaves were the adsorption media. The adsorption process was performed under various operating conditions and  ranges that simulate the natural environmental conditions to determine the ideal values that achieve the maximum removal of copper ions. The acquired results demonstrated that the maximum remediation efficiency was 85%, which was achieved at treatment time, shaking speed, initial concentration, temperature, acid function, and adsorption dose of  90 min, 250 rpm, 70 ppm, 25°C, 4, 4.5 g, respectively. The values of the thermodynamic properties demonstrated that adsorption is spontaneous, exothermic and has negative entropy, while adsorption follows Langmuir’s model and the second pseudo-model according to the isotherm and kinetic studies, respectively. To conduct the Zero Residues Level concept, the loaded used tea leaves were prepared to study it effect as a simple type of rodenticide by applying it to Sprague Dawley rats. The results of the test show that the effectiveness of utilizing the residues as rodenticide and the LD50 of the proposed rodenticide were identical to those mentioned in the literature. Based on these results, the current study sheds light on the possibility of converting used tea leaves from harmful solid waste to an environmentally friendly substance using it as an effective adsorbent medium for the treatment of water polluted with heavy metals.

Regional Alliances between states: historical review and future projections for Ukraine
Authors: Chupyra Volodymyr
Published: December 2022

Following article refl ects political and political military al liances as means to solve defense challenges that threaten sov ereignty and territorial integrity, among other those of Ukraine. The article evaluates several historical examples of such regional alliances, their benefi ts and drawbacks and how these aff ected the dynamics of international politics. Typical alliances established in pre-modern times, were either temporary and of personal nature or tended to develop into actual unions, limiting the sovereignty of its members. In the modern era though, military-political alliances prevailed, initiated either to perceive imperialist intentions or to protect sovereignty and territorial integrity. Such alliances became especially relevant after the First World War, as new independent states emerged under the terms of the Versailles system and a new confi guration of international borders was established. The examples of Little, Balkan and Baltic Ententes demonstrate the prime shortcoming of these alliances being unable to maintain eff ectiveness in the face of changing sources of threat, when former enemies became allies under new international circumstances. Given that the possibility of Ukraine’s membership to NATO still seems to be a distant pros pect and the need to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty from growing Russian aggression when the position of EU leaders is not always consolidated, further ways of countering Russian aggression must be explored, for instance accumulating possible political or even limited military assistance. From this perspective, it could be ef fective to establish close military-political ties with East European countries, which are as well aware of the degree of threat coming from Russia for their own sovereignty. Certain opportunities could be realized based on the ideas known as Intermarium Coalition in East-Central Europe, the Baltic to Black Sea Alliance, or though achieving Major Non-NATO Ally (MNNA) status for Ukraine.
CONTEXTUAL FUNCTION OF THE IMAGE OF FANYKGUYZ IN THE OSSETIAN FAIRY TALE
Authors: Д.В. Сокаева,
Published: December 2022

Осетинская волшебная сказка представляет собой архаический пласт осетинского фольклора и вполне может служить мифологическим источником, так как, несмотря на то, что по структуре представляет собой классическую волшебную сказку, в ней сохранились недесакрализованные мифологические элементы различного уровня повествования. В представленном сказочном тексте хорошо сохранены структура повествования сказки, описания сакральных элементов (чудесных объектов), сказочные формулы.

The Ossetian fairy tale is an archaic layer of Ossetian folklore and may well serve as a mythological source, since, despite the fact that it is a classic fairy tale in structure, non-desacralized mythological elements of various levels of narration have been preserved in it. In the presented fairy tale text the structure of the narration of the fairy tale, descriptions of sacred elements (wonderful objects), and fairy formulas are well preserved.

TAFSIR SAINTIFIK TENTANG KECERDASAN
Authors: Muhammad Dalip
Published: December 2022

Salah satu corak tafsir yang cukup banyak mendapat perhatian bagi pemerhati tafsir al-Qur’an adalah corak tafsir ilmi atau yang kemudian dikenal dengan corak tafsir saintifik. Corak ini berupaya menjelaskan ayat-ayat al-Qur’an dengan cara menghubungkannya dengan pengetahuan ilmiah. Pengetahuan yang dimaksud berupa ilmu-ilmu umum semisal ilmu biologi, ilmu fisika, ilmu astronomi, ilmu psikologi dan lain-lain.

Artikel ini mengupas tentang penafsiran Mahmud Yunus terhadap QS al-Nisa’/4: 32 yang terdapat dalam karya tafsirnya Quran Karim. Dalam menafsirkan ayat tersebut, Mahmud Yunus berusaha keras menghubungkannya dengan salah satu bahasan dalam ilmu psikologi yakni kecerdasan. Salah satu karunia Allah dalam ayat tersebut yang diberikan kepada sebagian orang yang tidak boleh dihasuti adalah karunia yang berupa kecerdasan otak. Menurut Mahmud Yunus, dalam penelitian para ilmuwan kejiwaan, manusia yang memiliki tingkat kecerdasan otaknya rendah dari seluruh populasinya sebanyak 60 %, sementara orang yang memiliki tingkat kecerdasan otak sedang 19 %, dan orang yang memiliki tingkat kecerdasan otak tinggi atau diatas rata-rata hanya 1% saja.

Pandangan Mahmud Yunus dalam menjelaskan QS al-Nisa’/4: 32 ini, yang menghubungkannya dengan perkembangan ilmu psikologi (ilmu jiwa), -dalam hal ini perkembangan kecerdasan otak manusia - semakin membuktikan bahwa kitab suci al-Qur’an tidak akan pernah sepi dari pembicaraan hiruk pikuk perkembangan saintifik.
A QUEST FOR A BETTER LIFE AND RACIAL DISCRIMINATION IN BAUCHI EMECHETER’S "SECOND CLASS CITIZEN"
Authors: Habib Musa Musa , Muhktar Muhammad
Published: December 2022

Many black Africans migrate to Europe in search of a better life. However, they face different challenges in the process such as racism, rape, and lack of accommodation in Europe. Thus, this study aims at examining how the quest for a better life and racial discrimination is portrayed in Buchi Emecheter’s Second Class Citizen. The study adopts psychoanalysis theory to analyze the data. The findings of the study show that many Africans consider Europe as heaven, as a source of happiness as a place of freedom and enjoyment while Nigeria and Africa at large as hell. As a result, they want to go and have a better life in the West. Also, the findings show the extent to which Black Africans are racially discriminated against there. They are considered inferior, and unimportant by the whites, and nobody wants to even associate with them. The study identifies some implications of the findings and makes some recommendations for further studies.

Islamization of Science in the Era of Society 5.0
Authors: Septian Aristya  , Rachmat Soe’oed  , Khojir
Published: December 2022

Science is one of the important elements that must be possessed by humans, human development is also never separated from science. The development of science, especially from the west, also requires a filter so that secular values ​​that are not in accordance with Islam can be prevented. The importance of Islamization of science is a main concept that can be a vaccine to prevent negative values ​​that accompany science and can also be a vitamin to increase the spirit of Muslims to always try to develop science.Several Muslim figures who initiated the concept of Islamization of Science, including Syed Naquib Al-Attas and Ismail Raji Al-Faruqi, the two Muslim figures considered the Islamization of science as a solution to the problem of the current dichotomy of science. Especially where we have entered the era of Society 5.0 where the development of technology and science has become a necessity without leaving important human aspects as the main element in that era.As for the use of this research method, it uses a pure library research method with a descriptive analytical approach, namely describing and critically interpreting the meaning of the discussion process so as to make a new idea in the development of science. The purpose of this study is to find a correlation between the Islamization of science in the era of society 5.0 and the study of the concepts offered by Ismail Raji al-Faruqi and Syed Naquib al-Attas. And from the results of this study, it was found that there was a correlation between the Islamization of science in the era of Society 5.0, this was seen in the strengthening of humans as the center of civilization so that the concept of Islamization became a solution to the gap and strengthened human character in particular.
An Observational Study: Use of Systemic Antibiotics for Endodontic Infections Treatment
Authors: Diaconu Oana Andreea
Published: December 2022

Aim: The purpose of this study was to determine the knowledge and habits of Romanian dentists about prescribing systemic antibiotics via oral for endodontic infection treatment.

Materials and Methods: In this study we asked Romanian dentists trough social media platforms and using Google Forms App to answer a 11 questions survey about systemic use of antibiotics (via oral) for endodontic infections. 116 dentists filled the questionnaire and the responses were considered valid. The collected data were processed statistically with the Microsoft Excel program (San 27 Francisco, USA).

Results: 116 Romanian dentists responded to this questionnaire. 53% of them prescribed oral antibiotics for 5 days, 43% for 7 days and only 3% for 3 days. In non-allergic patients the majority prescribed as a first choice antibiotic amoxicillin in association with Clavulanic acid – 54% and only 30% prescribed simple amoxicillin. The most prescribed antibiotic for patients with penicillin allergy was clindamycin (61,3 %). In cases of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis 15,5 % prescribed antibiotic. For cases of pulp necrosis with asymptomatic apical periodontitis and the presence of a sinus tract 21,7% prescribed antibiotic. Regarding the prophylactic use of antibiotics 46% of the respondents prescribed it following outdated guide lines (1 g administered 1 hour before the procedure or 1g before and 1g after the procedure), or recommended it in cases where was no need for use of antibiotics (11,7% prescribed antibiotics for patients under treatment with oral bisphosphonates).

Conclusion: The knowledge and habits of Romanian dentists about the use of antibiotics as a supportive treatment in endodontic infections must be updated and improved because many prescribe it in a wrong way or in unnecessary cases.
Anti-Carbamylated Protein Antibody Test Accuracy In Some Iraqi Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis
Authors: A Ali Ghasak
Published: December 2022

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is a persistent, immune-mediated disorder that causes pain, edema, and inflammation in the joints. A genetic history that is high in risk, when paired with genomic markers and environmental exposures, triggers a series of actions that not only results in synovitis and arthritis, but also affects a great number of organs that are not related to the joints. The identification of novel autoantibodies playing key roles in different stages of disease remains an issue of interest for RA. Therefore, autoantibodies are necessary to assist in making a diagnosis and prediction more quickly in RA. Anti-Carbamylated Protein antibodies are a different class of anti- transformed protein antibody that is often found in the blood of RA patients. Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis has a recently discovered biomarker, which is an antibody called anti-carbamylated protein (CarP). Our aim is to evaluate the usefulness of anti-CarP as a diagnostic tool for RA. Participants and methods: The study conducted on 60 people diagnosed with RA as well as 60 people who served as healthy controls. Both the disease activity score (DAS28) and the health assessment questionnaire (HAQ) were evaluated. Estimates were made based on laboratory examinations such as ESR and rheumatoid factor (RF). Anti-CarP and Anti-CCP antibodies were measured by enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay. Results:Anti-CarP levels were considerably higher in the patients with RA compared to the group that provided as a control (p > 0.000). Therefore, the sensitivity and specificity for anti-CarP antibodies were 39% and 98% respectively, while the sensitivity and specificity for anti-CCP antibodies were 83% and 95% respectively, and for RF were 68% and 83% respectively. The area under the curve (AUC) for anti-CarP antibodies was 0.67.

Conclusions:

Anti-CarP antibodies had comparatively lower sensitivity and slightly higher specificity than Anti-CCP.These findings suggest that anti-CarP antibodies works as an additional role in the diagnosis of RA.
Bacterial Biofilm And Role In The Pathogenesis Of Disease
Authors: Hussein Neamah Bent Alhuda
Published: December 2022

Background: Bacterial biofilms may play a role in pathogenesis which has led to increased focus on identifying diseases that may be associated with biofilms. Chronic biofilm infections are usually chronic in nature, as the bacteria that live in biofilms can be resilient to both the immune system and antibiotics and other treatments. Current knowledge of how biofilms contribute to disease pathogenesis suggests a number of different mechanisms. This extends from biofilms being merely a reservoir of pathogenic bacteria, to playing a more active role, for example, by contributing to inflammation. This knowledge is important for developing effective treatment strategies for such infections.
Association Of Cellular Communication Network Factor 3 (CCN3) With Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease And It's Severity (Case-Control Study)
Authors: Saleem Zayed Nawara
Published: December 2022

Background: An inflammatory condition that affects the joints in the limbs is rheumatoid arthritis. The most common symptom is chronic, recurrent joint inflammation. When patients are advanced, joint deformities and impairments may cause major impediments in the cardiac, skin, as well as other tissues and organs. A protein called cellular CCN3 is implicated in many biological processes such as cell adhesion, migration, as well as proliferation. Additionally, CCN3 has a role in a number of pathological processes, such as fibrosis, angiogenesis, and wound healing. CCN3 can be released from the cytoplasm. CCN3 may also be an inflammatory component in the course of RA. Future therapy approaches that focus on the activities and mechanisms of action of these proteins may result from better knowledge of how CCN proteins alter the pathophysiological processes underlying these types of arthritis and successfully reduce patients' pain (Wei et al., 2020). It was discovered that RA sera and tissues had increased levels of all CCN family members. IL6 production and CCN3 expression are correlated with disease activity (Giusti & Scotlandi, 2021).

Methods: Between November 2021 and April 2022, a study including 70 patients with RA who met four or more 2010 American College of Rheumatology and European League Against Rheumatism (ACR/EULAR) classification criteria for the condition and 70 healthy persons serving as control groups was conducted. All subjects had their disease activity score (DAS28-ESR), clinical activity index (CDAI), and rheumatoid factors (RF) detected by latex agglutination. By using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, the levels of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (ACCP) and CCN3 in human serum samples were determined (ELISA).The age group of both the patients and the controls included in this study was 20-70. RA was found to be high in individuals of the age group >40 years, at a percentage of 71.4%. The mean age was 46.2±10.3 years for patients and 1.7±0.5 for controls.Results:  The results clearly showed high serum CCN3 levels in patient groups with RA compared to control (P = 0.0001). CCN3 and ACCP have a significantly positive association  at control (P = 0.0001). According to DAS28-ESR, there were significantly increased concentrations of  CCN3 in severe patients at  P values of  0.0001 in comparison to mild patients.

Conclusions: The biomarker CCN3 is a good prognostic marker for the severity of RA.
Overview On Jaundic In Children: Relationship Between Jaundic And Blood Group, Anemia, Causes And Treatment Methods
Authors: Ahmed Meri Marwa
Published: December 2022

Background: Jaundice is a condition that makes the skin, body tissues and fluids yellowish in color. You often see the color on the skin or the white parts of the eyes. The yellow color is caused by the accumulation of bilirubin in the blood. Bilirubin is a pigment that leaks into the blood when red blood cells break down. This study aimed to identify jaundice and its relationship to the occurrence of jaundice in newborns with blood groups and its relationship to anemia, to study jaundice, to reveal its causes and what are the methods of diagnosis and treatment methods in all respects, and to clarify the extent of its spread. To the effect of jaundice on the health of the newborn and to know whether the effect of jaundice persists for advanced periods of the patient’s life, the study reached a number of conclusions, the most important of which are: Anemia, yellowing of the skin and eyes, and an enlarged spleen are the symptoms of jaundice, a hereditary condition brought on by a genetic defect in the membrane of red blood cells. The red cells in hemolytic jaundice are less elastic, rounder, and more fragile than normal red cells. Red blood cells frequently become caught in constrictive blood vessels, such as the spleen, which causes them to degrade and result in anemia. An enlarged spleen results from red cell blockage of the spleen. This occurs when red blood cells release their hemoglobin. The heme fraction then produces bilirubin, and too much bilirubin causes gallstones to develop even in young children. Iron-rich red blood cells are also destroyed by excess iron.

Bu süreçte Memluklerle olan ilişkiler, Karamanoğlu Mustafa İsyanı ve Şahkulu İsyanı gibi konular öne çıkmaktadır. Bu konulara şehzadenin durumu açısından değinilmiştir. Şehzade, 1511 yılında öl(dürül)müştür. Şehzadenin ölümü hakkındaki farklı görüşler ele alınmıştır. Şahkulu İsyanı sırasında ölümü, onun Kızılbaş olduğu iddialarını gündeme getirmiştir.
