Authors: Kaymaz Serdar , Aykan Sanem
Published: July 2022

Objective: The cut-off value of serum 25(OH)D level for bone-skeletal and cardiovascular diseases are well defined. However, there is no current study defining the optimal cut-off value of serum 25(OH)D levels for preventing diabetic distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSP). We aimed to evaluate the relationship between the 25(OH)D levels and the parameters of electrophysiology and Toronto Clinical Scoring System (TCSS) to obtain a cut-off value of serum 25(OH)D levels in diabetic DSP patients.
Methods: This is a case-control study included 90 diabetic patients with or without diagnosed DSP who were visiting the outpatient Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic. The patients demographic data and vitamin D levels were recorded. The patients were classified according to serum 25(OH)D levels as having optimal, insufficiency, and deficiency. The electrophysiological study was conducted for the diagnosis and staging of polyneuropathy. TCSS was used to evaluate the patients neuropathic symptoms.
Results: From the results of this study conducted on the 90 patients that were diagnosed with diabetes, it was found that the electrophysiological study and TCSS were significantly different in the three vitamin D groups. Regression analysis test demonstrated that 25 (OH) D level with 0.845 odds ratio is the only risk factor for the development of DSP. The serum levels of 25(OH)D below 15/18 ng/mL is associated with DSP.
Conclusion: This study indicate that vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for the development of DSP, and serum 25(OH)D level ≤ 15 ng/ml is crucial in assessing the severity of neuropathic symptoms.

Objective: In this article, we aimed to evaluate patients with Parkinson’ s disease (PD) in terms of psychiatric diseases and related clinical features. Methods: 101 patients diagnosed with PD and 101 randomly selected control cases who applied to general internal medicine and endocrine outpatient clinics were included in the study. All subjects were administered a questionnaire including questions about their sociodemographic and clinical features, and were evaluated by the psychiatrist. Results: The rate of psychiatric disease (42.6%) in the PD group was significantly higher than the control group. Anxiety disorders and depression were the most common among these diseases. Also the use of antidepressant in the PD group was higher than the control group. Conclusion: Psychiatric disorders are seen more frequently in patients with PD than in patients with other physical diseases. Considering that quality of life in patients with PD is associated with psychiatric well-being, psychiatric symptoms in patients are of high clinical importance. The physician’ s awareness of psychiatric symptoms and taking necessary precautions will contribute positively to the treatment of the disease.

Authors: nta Mustafa
Published: July 2022

Objectives: In this study, the results of patients who underwent primary endoscopic endonasal dacryocystorhinostomy surgery and nasolacrimal silicone tube intubation (PEEDCR + NSTI) due to chronic dacryostenosis were evaluated retrospectively. The sinonasal pathologies accompanying these cases and their results were reviewed in the light of the literature.
Materials and Methods: The medical records of 55 patients who admitted to State Hospital Ear Nose and Throat Clinics between January 1, 2015 and December 31, 2019, were diagnosed with chronic dacryostenosis and underwent PEEDCR + NSTI surgery were retrospectively examined.
Results: Fifty-five patients were included in the study. Thirty-three of the patients (60%) were female and 22 were male (40%). Endoscopic endonasal DCR and nasolacrimal silicon tube intubation were applied to a total of 55 patients, 21 (38.18%) right eye and 34 (61.82%) left eye. Simultaneously, sinonasal pathology surgery was performed on 32 patients. 47 patients (85.5%) achieved complete recovery, while the complaint of eight patients (14.5%) continued.
In our study, we found the success rate as 85.5% in primary cases. Nasal revision surgery and EEDCR + NSTI were applied to 8 patients with recurrence. While 7 of these are fully recovered, 1 patient relapsed again. Success rate after revision surgery increased to 98.2%. All of the 8 patients with recurrence were those who underwent sinonasal pathology surgery simultaneously.
Conclusion: PEEDCR + NSTI surgery is a functional treatment method that is well-tolerated and with high success in patients with lacrimal stenosis. Sinonasal pathologies were responsible for recurrences. Simultaneously, intranasal pathologies must be treated effectively.

Is the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided percutaneous release therapy in trigger finger treatment affected by the stage of the disease?

Abstract
Objective: Trigger finger is a type of tenosynovitis that causes pain and dysfunction in the hand and fingers, especially in middle-aged people.We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided (USG) percutaneous release for trigger finger according to the disease stage.
Material and Method: USG percutaneous release was performed on 52 fingers of 52 patients who met the inclusion criteria. The patients with Quinnell stages 1 and 2 were grouped as group 1, and those with stages 3 and 4 were grouped as group 2. After treatment, our patients were followed up by measuring their pain with the visual analog scale (VAS) on the 7th day, during the 1st month, at the 6th month control visit and recording the time of the patients return to work.
Results: In the analysis of the results from group 1 and group 2 together, there was a meaningful relationship between grade and VAS score. The mean of all four VAS scores in the second group was statistically significantly higher than in the first group (p < 0.001). In the comparison of the time to return to work according to grade, group 1 returned to work earlier than group 2 (1.67 ± 0.77 and 2.09 ± 0.83, respectively), but this difference was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: he percutaneous release procedure, which is performed carefully after the location of the lesion has been precisely determined and marked by USG, is the preferred method, especially in the Quinnell stages 1and 2 of the disease.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the role of hematological markers in predicting the severity of proximal femur fractures, which is an important mortality and morbidity problem.

Materials and Methods: Patients who applied to our clinic for proximal femur fracture for 2 years between 2017 and 2019 were included in this study. Demographic information, fracture severity, fracture classification and blood values of the patients were recorded. Patients with proximal femoral fractures who were registered in the hospital information operating system and accepted to participate in this study were included in the study, while patients with a concomitant fracture, a history of malignancy, and those who applied for revision surgery were excluded from the study.

Results: A total of 89 patients with proximal femoral fractures, 51 of whom were women (57.3%), with a mean age of 79.2±10.9 (range, 25 to 98) years were included in this study. The patients were divided into two groups as stable and unstable according to the severity of the fracture. When the preoperative hemogram parameters of the patients were examined, it was noted that the neutrophil (p=0.013), lymphocyte (p=0.012), Neutrophil/Lymphocyte ratio (NLR) (p=0.001) and Platelet/Lymphocyte ratio (PLR) (p=0.035) values were statistically significantly different between the groups. NLR and PLR values were found to be higher in the unstable fracture group than in the stable fracture group. It was observed that values of 6.45 and above for NLR and 172.2 and above for PLR were predictive of unstable fracture.

Conclusion: In conclusion, NLR and PLR are useful biomarkers in determining the severity of proximal femur fractures. It can guide us in the management of proximal femur fractures because it can be routinely, inexpensively and easily measured.

Published: July 2022

Zinc deficiency is now very common in Bangladesh causing significant yield losses of different crops including rice. Due to zinc and other micronutrient deficiencies the high yielding rice varieties fail to produce their potential yield even under good management practices. Although many farmers have started applying zinc fertilizer they are not aware of proper dose and application method. Therefore, in many cases farmers are applying zinc fertilizers indiscriminately without considering the efficacy and economic output. Keeping those in mind the proposed study bears huge importance to elucidate and enrich the present state of knowledge on zinc fertilization in rice for ensuring food and nutritional security of Bangladesh in a sustainable way. An experiment was therefore conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during the period from December 2020 to May 2021 to investigate into the effects of different doses of Zn applied through soil, root soaking and foliar on rice growth and yield and their economics in Boro seasons following a randomized complete block design with three replications. Two Boro rice varieties (BRRI dhan58 and Hira Dhan-1) and seven different zinc application approaches (including soil application, root dipping and foliar spray of zinc with different dose/concentration). Hybrid variety Hira Dhan-1 performed better than BRRI dhan58. Application of zinc resulted in better crop growth and higher yield. Soil application appeared as the most efficient approach. Grain yield increased over control due to zinc application raged from 5.1 to 14.7%. Present study confirms the necessity of zinc fertilizer application for increasing Boro rice yield. Among the different application approaches, soil application was found most effective and foliar spray was least effective. Although soil application of ZnSO4 @ 10 kg ha-1 produced the highest yield, application of ZnSO4 @ 5 kg ha-1 was the most economic one. Hybrid rice Hira Dhan-1 out yielded high yielding inbred variety BRRI dhan58. Therefore, it is recommended to cultivate hybrid rice in Boro season with soil application of ZnSO4 @ 5 kg ha-1 for higher yield and better economic return.

Published: July 2022

This research was carried out to determine the health literacy levels and the factors affecting to the knowledge level of the patients of a district outpatient clinic at the city center of Malatya. It is a descriptive cross-sectional study where the data is obtained from a socio-demographic data set and Turkish Health Literacy Questionnaire -32 (THLQ-32). The data analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0 statistical software. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality test was used to determine whether the quantitative data is normally distributed. With the observation of the data not showing a normal distribution Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis variance analysis were used for the statistical analysis. Chi-squared test is used to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference within the qualitative data for a significance level of p<0.05. 49.9% of the patients were male and 50.1% were female. The mean age is 35.94±13.8 years. 24% of the patients had completed secondary school or below while 40.4% had completed higher education. The average index score of the patients according to THLQ-32 is 15.85±11.07. According to THLQ-32 health literacy categories 78.1% of the patients identified as “inadequate”, 14% as “limited-problematic”, 6.3% as “adequate” and 1.6% as “excellent”. We conclude that there is a significant correlation (p<0.05) between gender, marital status, age and education level with health literacy levels respectively. On the other hand there is no statistically significant correlation (p>0.05) among patients with chronic illnesses and their health literacy levels.

Authors: Joshi Anuradha , Upadhyay Henil , Kataria Shreya , Shah Jyestha
Published: July 2022

Background: One of the major challenges for pharmacology teachers is how to capture students’ interests and engage them in the subject, to create an engaging and enjoyable learning process. “Creative study guide posters” is one such novel educational tool that can help achieve these goals.

Aims and Objectives: The authors tried to recreate visual artwork in the subject of pharmacology to engage students and at the same time make learning easy and fun-filled.

Materials and Methods: In this study, 2nd year medical students participated and prepared creative study guide posters on antimicrobials and microbes in the form of two armies. On the one hand, antimicrobial drugs depicted the good army, consisting of the name of the drug, drug group, and mechanism of action, while on the other hand, the microorganisms depicted the evil army, consisting of the names of the common microbes, representing the battle of Kurukshetra as in the Indian epic of Mahabharata.

Results: The majority of the students found this model interesting and useful for revising antimicrobials. About 82.3% of students agreed that their concepts of antimicrobials improved after this activity. About 86.46% of students believed that this model would foster interactive learning. Only 65.63% of students felt that the traditional methods of revising topics were better than this activity.

Conclusion: Creative instruction encourages students to think independently, paricipate actively, and express themselves freely. Creative study guide poster activities help with better student engagement, reinforcing concepts, and better retention than just passing information passively in classrooms.

Aim: To describe the temporary management of corneal perforation by using dried sclera patch graft prior keratoplasty when donor tissue not available. Case report: Two cases of corneal perforation (>2mm) of various causes presented with severely decreased vision and shallow anterior chamber and soft eye ball. Both needed immediate therapeutic keratoplasty to save the globe and restore the vision. Due to unavailability of donor cornea, both patients were surgically managed with dried scleral patch graft temporarily to save the globe. Both patients underwent therapeutic keratoplasty one moth and one and half months respectively. Both patients gained better vision (6/18 and 6/24 respectively), quiet anterior chamber and no secondary glucoma after 6 month of keratoplasty. Conclusion: Dried sclera patch graft is a good option for temporary management of corneal perforation of various causes until a donor cornea is available. These patch grafts prevent ocular hypotony, posterior synechiea and secondary glucoma.
Warfare, Political Leadership, and State Formation: The Case of the Zulu Kingdom, 1808-1879
Authors: DEFLEM Mathieu
Published: July 2022

The origin and evolution of the 19th-century Zulu Kingdom are used to examine two competing state formation theories: Robert Carneiro’s circumscription theory and Elman Service’s theory of institutionalized leadership. Both theories partly clarify Zulu political developments. Carneiro’s theory explains the origin and territorial expansion of the Zulu empire, while Service’s theory can account for the beginning differentiation of political roles in the Zulu state. Two alternative explanations of the causes of Zulu state formation are discussed to integrate the diverging theoretical perspectives of Carneiro and Service. First, the role of the Zulu King, Shaka, should be considered politically relevant only inasmuch as Shaka’s wars of conquest were instrumental for the unification of the Zulu Kingdom. Second, further developments in Zulu politics involved limited structural change from dispersed tribes to a unified military state. The analysis of political formations, including their origin and further transformation, should not be conducted in unilinear evolutionary terms, but from a multidimensional processual perspective.

Published: July 2022

Traditionnellement, les préoccupations liées au travail ne constituent pas un enjeu majeur lors de l’examen de la politique de la concurrence, mais l’approche préconisée à l’égard des accords de fixation des salaires, de non-débauchage et de non-mobilité entre les entreprises est l’une des principales raisons qui expliquent l’attention portée récemment par le Parlement à la politique de la concurrence et aux marchés du travail. Les principaux intervenants des milieux universitaires et politiques ont demandé une mise en application plus rigoureuse en ce qui concerne le pouvoir des monopsones/oligopsones sur les marchés du travail, par exemple lors de l’évaluation des fusions et des acquisitions, ainsi qu’en ce qui concerne le pouvoir de marché associé à la représentation des travailleurs (syndicats) et à l’accréditation professionnelle à titre d’obstacles à l’entrée sur le marché du travail. L’objectif ici est de recenser les nombreux défis et pièges dans l’évaluation de l’intensité de la concurrence sur les marchés du travail, tant au niveau de l’offre que de la demande, de même que dans la recherche de recours, s’il y a lieu.

Published: July 2022

The construction industry is still one of the biggest contributors to the number of accidents in Indonesia, this explains the low safety performance in construction projects. The low safety performance is proof that safety has not become a priority and has not become a culture. The maturity level of safety culture in the construction industry is at a reactive level, which means it is still very low and efforts need to be made to continuously improve it. The results of the literature study state that there are several efforts that can be made to improve safety culture, namely in terms of leadership, safety behavior, safety planning, individual capabilities, and reporting and evaluation. Safety leadership has the greatest role in enhancing safety culture. Safety leadership is part of a leadership system which is defined as the process of interaction of leaders with followers to achieve safety. Improved safety culture can improve safety performance on construction projects. The purpose of this study was to determine the variables and indicators of safety leadership that can be a part of improving safety culture and the variables and indicators that are used to measure safety performance. The results of these indicators are expected to be a concern for improvement and references to improve safety culture and affect the safety performance of construction projects, so as to reduce the number of accidents in construction projects.
Professional Development of Outstanding Secondary School Physics Teachers—Analysis Based on the Personal Life Histories of Special Class Secondary School Physics Teachers
Authors: Sun Haibin , Liu Tingting
Published: July 2022

Special class secondary school physics teachers represent outstanding secondary school physics teachers in China. This paper analyzes the personal life histories of 13 outstanding secondary school physics teachers. We coded and analyzed the sample materials and summarized the laws of professional development of outstanding secondary school physics teachers. The study shows that cultivating outstanding secondary school physics teachers takes a relatively long time. Their professional development can be divided into five stages: the pre-service learning period, the initial adaptation period, the exploration and skill-developing period, the maturing innovation period, and the excellence and advancement period. Individuals’ own efforts and continuous learning, guidance from master teachers and experts, and support from family and school play an important role in the professional growth of outstanding secondary school physics teachers. Outstanding secondary school physics teachers can apply lifelong learning, do educational research, and develop their own distinctive physics teaching styles.
Correlation Functions of Quantum Toroidal gln Algebra
Authors: Cui Hao
Published: July 2022

In this paper, we study the correlation functions of the quantum toroidal \mathfrak{gl}_n algebra. Their first key properties are established in analogy to those of the correlation functions of quantum affine algebras U_q\mathfrak{n}_+. The core of the paper is the proof of the vanishing of those correlation functions at length 3 wheel conditions, which is done separately for n = 1, n = 2, n≥ 3 cases with different ``Master Equalities" of formal series (the n = 1 case has been previously discussed by the author in (Cui, 2021)). Another important contribution is the discovery of cubic Serre relations for the quantum toroidal.
La deconstrucción representativa del “paisaje”. Una apuesta biopolítica desde el artivismo serrano contemporáneo
Authors: Estarellas Natalia
Published: July 2022

El presente escrito reflexiona sobre una serie de experiencias “artivistas” realizadas en el departamento de Punilla, Córdoba, el 12 de octubre, en contexto del Aislamiento Social, Preventivo y Obligatorio (ASPO) y durante la emergencia ambiental por los incendios serranos de los meses de agosto, septiembre y octubre del 2020. Las experiencias presentadas, desde lo político y crítico en el arte, se definen como tales según su contextualización táctica y local en acto y en situación (Richard, 2011). Se tornan “visibles” desde compromisos afectivos y éticos de acción político-artística en el Valle de Punilla, Córdoba. Estos emergen en su matriz configuradora de procesos que vinculan “ecofeminismos” en clave local, propuestas variadas de gestión del hábitat, pedagogías biosustentables, múltiples formas de cooperativismo laboral y búsquedas en términos de soberanía alimentaria. Estas formas de acción enmarcadas en el bioentorno configurador, enunciadas como prácticas alternativas y en resistencia desde el biopoder, la biopolítica y la biotecnología, vinculan arte, funcionalidad, tecnologías y uso de materiales de larga proyección histórica, que promueven nodos de proyección y producción locales, paradigmáticos y transdisciplinarios de artisticidad contemporánea serrana, donde los recortes disciplinares se presentan desdibujados y propician focos discursivos de vinculación crítica entre estética(s) y política(s).
Discovery and preparation of a large mass of articulated Early Jurassic crinoids from Black Ven (Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site, south-west England)
Authors: Carpenter S. , Radley J. D.
Published: July 2022

Early Jurassic marine mudrocks on south-west England's Dorset and East Devon Coast World Heritage Site are well known as a source of spectacularly preserved examples of the fossil crinoid Pentacrinites fossilis Blumenbach. This paper outlines the geological and palaeobiological contexts of a recent find, and the measures taken for its preparation, conservation and preservation.
The virtual and physical preparation of the Collard plesiosaur from Bridgwater Bay, Somerset, UK
Authors: Larkin Nigel , O'Connor S. , Parsons D.
Published: July 2022

The 'Collard Plesiosaur', found in 2003 in Bridgwater Bay on the Somerset coast is the only complete and fully articulated plesiosaur skeleton to have been found in Britain for over 100 years. The 1.5 metre long specimen was preserved in the finegrained and thinly laminated Lower Liassic Kilve Shales. This lithology is susceptible to fluctuations in humidity, severely compromising the integrity of specimens once dry. The priorities for the project were to arrest shale delamination caused by environmental fluctuations and to prepare the specimen for research. The specimen appeared to be mostly well fossilised in a homogeneous, un-cemented matrix, offering excellent potential for non-destructive recovery of fossil information using conventional X-radiography and Computed Tomography before the preparation commenced. Despite the skeleton being variably mineralised, the analyses yielded very detailed images. This 'virtual preparation' helped to inform the subsequent physical preparation, with the conventional radiographs proving most useful. In addition, the project demonstrated that such analyses are not just useful for guiding preparation but also for recording material that might be removed during preparation and highlighting details not visible to the naked eye or that remain buried. During preparation, experimental attempts to consolidate matrix samples were unsuccessful - the shale layers distorted and delaminated. However, the adhesive Paraloid B72 was successfully applied to the sides of the specimen blocks in liberal quantities, providing a useful partial barrier to future changes in atmospheric relative humidity. Scalpels were found to be the most appropriate tools for preparing the specimen, removing one paper-thin layer of shale at a time.
Three dimensional preparation of a late Cretaceous sturgeon from Montana: a case study.
Authors: Van Beek Constance , Brown Matthew
Published: July 2022

Thorough description of an exceptionally well-preserved fossil sturgeon required nearly complete disarticulation of much of the skull, as well as preparation of fins and other very delicate structures. Preparation took place in distinct stages in order to allow for detailed photographic documentation of the structure and relationship of individual bones before they were disassociated from the skeleton. Prior preparation and application of materials presented challenges to cleaning of surfaces that were overcome using a combination of chemical and gentle mechanical preparation methods. Combinations of consolidants were experimented with until a method for stabilization for fragile parts of the skeleton was decided upon. Extreme care was required during disarticulation of the very delicate elements, and a storage method was devised to maintain relationships of individual bones after removal from the skull. Justification was made based on research needs to sacrifice certain aspects of conservation principles in selection of non-reversible adhesives and consolidants for stabilization, repair, and reconstruction.
A short note on modifications to Nineteenth Century pterosaur specimens held in the National Museum of Ireland - Natural History, Dublin
Authors: Hone D. W. E.
Published: July 2022

Examination of two pterosaur specimens in the collections of the National Museum of Ireland purchased in 1898 show several modifications to the slabs on which they lie. While the actual elements of the skeletons do not show any changes, the surrounding matrix has often been modified, obscuring details in places through the overlaying of plaster and polishing of the surface to change the relief. Curators and researchers should be aware of these changes that may be present on other specimens in wider collections.

Published: July 2022

Assistive technology developed for blind and partially sighted people can find wider application in the museum workplace. Ease of operation, combined with high lev- els of potential magnification and object sympathetic light sources add to the utility of desktop video magnifiers. As well as assisting in day to day paper-based office tasks, the magnifier finds application in various archival tasks and collections-based work. This equipment enhances the visitor experience of looking at archival material, both for the visually impaired and the general visitor. In particular, it helps with the study of smaller documents and photographs. It also assists in the examination of old handwriting, and in particular hand written ink script which has begun to fade with time.
David Forbes F.R.S. (1828-1876): a chemist and mineralogist who advocated for thin section microscopy
Authors: Kerbey H.
Published: July 2022

David Forbes was a chemist and mineralogist who supported H. C. Sorby in the development of thin section microscopy. Employed initially by a mining firm he travelled extensively in Norway and Southern America. He advocated for a chemical understanding of geology, and argued profusely with field geologists about terminology and the importance of examining rocks using the microscope. His controversial letter writing combined with an early death perhaps prevented him from becoming well known today. He left an interesting collection of minerals at the Manchester Museum, though his thin sections are missing and it is hoped that publication of this paper will raise awareness of their importance, and help to locate them.
