Optimizing P2 Neochordal Length and Stability in Mitral Valve Repair With Use of a Polypropylene Loop
Authors: Ozen Anil , Unal Ertekin Utku , Ozbek Hamdi Mehmet , Yigit Gorkem , Iscan Hakki Zafer
Published: September 2020

Determining the optimal length of artificial chordae tendineae and then effectively securing them is a major challenge in mitral valve repair. Our technique for measuring and stabilizing neochordae involves tying a polypropylene suture loop onto the annuloplasty ring. We used this method in 4 patients who had moderate-to-severe mitral regurgitation from degenerative posterior leaflet (P2) prolapse and flail chordae. Results of intraoperative saline tests and postoperative transesophageal echocardiography revealed only mild insufficiency. One month postoperatively, echocardiograms showed trivial regurgitation in all 4 patients. We think that this simple, precise method for adjusting and stabilizing artificial chordae will be advantageous in mitral valve repair.
The interface between task-modality and the use of previously known languages in young CLIL English learners
Authors: Martínez-Adrián María , Arratibel-Irazusta Izaskun
Published: September 2020

This article contributes to the scarcity of research on the interface between task-modality and the use of previously known languages (PKL) in young learners. It examines the use of Basque/Spanish by CLIL learners (aged 10-11) during oral interaction while completing two collaborative tasks in English: a speaking task and a speaking + writing task. Findings indicate that these learners are extensive users of their PKL. Task-modality is particularly evident in the case of amount of PKL use, as a higher number of PKL turns are obtained in the speaking + writing task. However, task-modality has a limited effect on the functions of PKL, which contrasts with previous studies with adults. Despite the extensive use of their PKL, these young and low-proficient learners employ them as cognitive tools that facilitate the organization of the tasks, the co-construction of meaning and the attention to formal aspects of language such as mechanics.
An Experimental Study on the Variation of the Attitudes towards the Syrian Refugees in Turkey
Authors: Uysal Duygu Merve , Aydın Çakır Aylin
Published: September 2020

By conducting a survey experiment on 120 university students in Turkey, this study has two objectives. First, we aim to find out how -and to what extent- students' levels of prejudice towards the Syrian refugees differ when the refugees are depicted in either empathy or threat-evoking conditions. Second, we try to show the interaction between personal dispositions (authoritarianism) and situational factors (threat evoking condition) and their explanatory power on the students’ prejudice towards the Syrian refugees in Turkey. Our empirical results show that empathy-evoking manipulation makes individuals less prejudiced towards the Syrian refugees. Our second finding asserts that the students who read the threat-evoking text display a higher level of prejudice towards the Syrian refugees. Finally, although we anticipated that authoritarianism displays a significant main effect on the prejudice levels, the current results did not validate this hypothesis. In other words, the empirical results show that there is a significant negative interaction effect between the threat-evoking stimulus and authoritarianism on the students’ level of prejudice. That is to say, threat-evoking text displayed a significant impact for respondents who had lower scores than the mean level of authoritarianism; and in turn, although these people were the less authoritarians, they had a greater level of prejudice, after they read the text, compared to ones in the neutral condition.
ABD Liderliğindeki Liberal Uluslararası Düzenin Sonu Tartışması: Liberalizmin Krizi ve Geleceği
Authors: Kurtbağ Ömer
Published: September 2020

Bu çalışma, ABD öncülüğünde İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası kurulan liberal uluslararası düzenin varoluşsal bir kriz içinde olup olmadığını, Donald Trump’ın Amerikan başkanlık seçimlerini kazanmasının ışığında çözümlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Savaş sonrası ABD liderliğinde kurulan ve Amerikan hegemonyasının (pax-Americana) oluşumundan ayrı düşünülmesi zor olan bu düzenin son yıllarda ağır bir krize girdiği ve yerini post-liberal bir düzene bırakıp bırakmayacağı ile ABD’nin hegemonyasındaki gerilemenin burada oynayacağı rol, son yıllarda özellikle Batılı ülkelerin akademik çevrelerinde ve medyasında yoğun bir şekilde tartışılmaktadır. Çalışmanın başlıca savı, liberal uluslararası düzenin, bugün sadece Çin ve Rusya gibi otoriter güçlerin yükselişinden değil, aynı zamanda Batı dünyasında liberalizme düşman halk hareketlerinden de kaynaklanan ciddi bir tehdit altında olduğudur. Liberal uluslararası düzenin krizi gibi sistemik (küresel) bir olguyu çözümlemekle çalışma, John Ikenberry gibi Çin ve Rusya gibi otoriter devletler merkezli çözümleme yapan liberallerin başlıca çalışmalarının eleştirel bir okumasını sunma hedefindedir. Bununla da çalışma, öncelikle liberalizmin Batı içi liberalizm karşıtı popülist tepki kaynaklı bu krizi öngörmede başarısız olduğunu, ardından da liberallerin mevcut düzendeki krizin liberalizmin kendisinin değil ABD hegemonyasının krizi olduğundan hareketle eninde sonunda liberal düzenin bu çalkantıdan sağ çıkacağına dair yanlış bir inanca sahip olduğunu ileri sürmektedir. Çalışma, mevcut liberal düzenin yerini daha az liberal ve daha az Amerikan karakterli bir düzene bırakacağı tespitiyle sonuçlandırılacaktır.
İsrail’de Liberal Demokratlığın ve Etnik Milliyetçiliğin İdeolojik Yansıması: Post-Siyonizm ve Neo-Siyonizm
Authors: Ersoy Ceylan Tuğçe
Published: September 2020

Siyonizm Yahudilerin de kendi kaderini tayin etme hakkının olduğu esasına ideolojik arka plan inşa etmeyi amaçlayan milliyetçi bir ideolojidir. Bu açıdan Siyonizm’in 19. yüzyılda Avrupa’da ortaya çıkan milliyetçilik fikirlerinin bir ürünü olduğunu söylemek yanlış olmayacaktır. Bu durumda kendi kaderini tayin etme ve kendi ulusuna ait bir devlet kurmak ülküsüyle yola çıkmış olan Siyonizm İsrail’in kurulması ile amacını yerine getirdi ve miadını doldurdu mu? Siyonizm’in miadını doldurduğu tartışması etrafında ortaya atılmış olan sorular yeni Siyonizmler ortaya çıkarmıştır. Klasik ayrışmalardan farklı olarak bu yeni yaklaşımlar Siyonizm’in varoluşuna, temeline ve dolayısıyla İsrail’in kuruluş argümanlarına yönelik tartışmalardır. Bu arka plan ışığında bu çalışmanın amacı İsrail’in kurulmasını takip eden yıllarda hem devletin hem de toplumun konsolide olduğu süreçte İsrail akademisinde başlayıp toplumun diğer tabakalarına yayılan ve bugün post-Siyonizm olarak bilinen düşünme biçimini ve ona karşı argüman olarak ortaya çıkan neo-Siyonizm akımını karşılıklı olarak ele almaktır. Çalışmada biri liberal demokratlığın ve sol kanadın (post-Siyonizm) diğeri etnik ayrımcılığın (neo-Siyonizm) tezahürü olan bu yaklaşımlar süreç takibi vasıtasıyla ortaya çıktıkları zamandan günümüze kadar tarihsel sosyolojik bir yaklaşımla analiz edilecektir. Makalenin temel argümanı derin kimliksel ayrışmalarla bölünmüş olan İsrail toplumundaki iki ucu temsil eden bu ideolojilerin merkezinde İsrail’in hem işgal altındaki hem de İsrail vatandaşı Filistinlilere uygulamakta olduğu ayrımcı/dışlayıcı politikalar karşısındaki duruş farklılıkları olduğudur.
The effect of rTMS in the management of pain associated with CRPS
Authors: Chang Min Cheol , Kwak Sang Gyu , Park Donghwi
Published: September 2020

Background

Therapeutic management of pain in patients with complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) is challenging. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) has analgesic effects on several types of pain. However, its effect on CRPS has not been elucidated clearly. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis of the available clinical studies on rTMS treatment in patients with CRPS.

Materials and methods

A comprehensive literature search was conducted using the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and SCOPUS databases. We included studies published up to February 09, 2020, that fulfilled our inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data regarding measurement of pain using the visual analog scale before and after rTMS treatment were collected to perform the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis was performed using Comprehensive Meta-analysis Version 2.

Results

A total of three studies (one randomized controlled trial and two prospective observational studies) involving 41 patients were included in this meta-analysis. No significant reduction in pain was observed immediately after one rTMS treatment session or immediately after the entire schedule of rTMS treatment sessions (5 or 10 sessions; P > 0.05). However, pain significantly reduced 1 week after the entire schedule of rTMS sessions (P < 0.001).

Conclusion

rTMS appears to have a functional analgesic effect in patients with CRPS.
Comprehensive Brittleness Evaluation on Cap Rock of X9 Gas Storage Using an Improved Geometric Polygon Method
Authors: Wen Caoxuan , Jia Shanpo , Shu Ketong , Liu Tuanhui
Published: September 2020

Brittleness is an important mechanical characteristic of rock and is critical to shale reservoir, which is characterized with low porosity and low permeability. Brittleness evaluation of cap rock plays an important role in the site selection, operation, and maintenance of underground gas storage. However, it is still a difficult problem for conducting a quantitative brittleness evaluation. In this article, the brittleness of X9’s cap rock has been evaluated by the five available effective methods that are based on mineral composition, elastic parameters, stress-strain curve, analytic hierarchy process, and fuzzy analytical hierarchy process, respectively, and the results of them are general, weak, weak, general, and general, respectively. Combined with the five evaluation results, a comprehensive brittleness evaluation based on geometric regular polygon method is proposed. The results show that the brittleness of X9’s cap rock is faint. Because of the comprehensive consideration of the limitations of existing brittleness evaluation methods, the excessive idealization of conventional regular polygon method, and the irrationality of division in evaluation grades, this method is improved based on the conventional regular polygon method and has advantages of comprehensive utility, strong feasibility, reliable result, and wide application range and can be used to evaluate similar targets.

Published: September 2020

Background: Right ventricular pacing disrupts atrioventricular synchrony and increases the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, whether algorithms for minimizing ventricular pacing reduce the incidence of AF remains controversial. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the incidence of AF between minimizing ventricular pacing and conventional pacing protocols in patients with pacemakers implanted.

Methods: The PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases were searched up to August 1, 2017, for randomized controlled trials that reported the incidence of AF in patients with and without the use of algorithms for minimizing ventricular pacing.

Results: Eleven studies comprising 5705 participants (61% males, mean age 71 years [standard deviation 11 years]) were finally included in the analysis. The mean follow-up duration was 24 months. Use of algorithms for minimizing ventricular pacing significantly reduced the incidence of AF, with an odds ratio of 0.74 (95% confidence interval 0.55–1.00; P<0.05). There was moderate heterogeneity among studies (I
2=63%).

Conclusions: The incidence of AF was reduced by 26% with use of algorithms for minimizing ventricular pacing. The incorporation of such algorithms in routine clinical practice should in theory lead to a decrease in AF-related morbidity and mortality.
EDIBLE COATING OF CEREAL BARS USING DIFFERENT BIOPOLYMERS: EFFECT ON PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES DURING STORAGE
Authors: EYİZ Vildan , TONTUL İsmail , TÜRKER Selman
Published: September 2020

Cereal bars were coated with three different biopolymers to prevent the changes during storage. The edible coating using sodium alginate (SA), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and whey protein isolate (WPI) had little effect on chemical properties of the bars. The moisture content of coated bars was found to be significantly higher than that of control samples because of moisture diffusion during treatments and prevention of moisture loss during storage. SA was the most effective coating materials in terms of preservation of the textural properties. On the other hand, coating cereal bars with CMC caused some undesirable changes in the color and textural properties of the bars. All three coating materials provided higher content of total phenolics compared to control. As a result of the study, it is recommended to use of SA as an edible coating for cereal bars to increase the physical and chemical stability of the product.

Published: September 2020

This study aims to examine empirically the effect of variables of attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and intention to conduct whistleblowing in the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) who work in Semarang City Government (Semarang City Hall) in 2018. The theory that forms the basis of this research is theory of planned behavior that explains the effect of factors that influence intention towards behavior. The population in this research was the State Civil Apparatus working in the Semarang City Government, amounting to 145 people. The research sample amounted to 90 people who were selected based on the agreement of each Regional Device Organization (OPD) with convenience sampling techniques, namely sampling techniques based on availability and ease of obtaining. Data were analyzed by multiple regression analysis using IBM SPSS software (Statistical Product and Service Solutions) Statistics 17. The results show that subjective norms affect the intention to do whistleblowing. Perceived behavioral control affect the intention to do whistleblowing, intention also effects the behavior of whistleblowing and perceived behavioral control also influences the behavior of whistleblowing. Meanwhile, attitude does not affect the intention to do whistleblowing in the Semarang City Government State Civil Apparatus in 2018 due to the lack of variation in the sample studied. Conclusions from this study indicate that intention is able to influence behavior in doing whistleblowing action by taking into account attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control.

Consumption of Fried Foods as A Risk Factor for Hypercholesterolemia: Study of Eating Habits in Public Health Students
Authors: Yuningrum Hesti , Rahmuniyati Merita Eka , Sumiratsi Naomi Nisari Rosdewi
Published: September 2020

Background: Students in the health sector should have more health literacy so that they can show better health practices as well. However, unfortunately, a preliminary study on students in the field of public health showed that almost 50% of students have eating habits and physical activity that was not following health recommendations. The behavior of consuming fried foods in this group of students can be a risk factor for hypercholesterolemia. For this reason, it is necessary to study the habit of consuming fried foods as a risk factor for hypercholesterolemia.

Methods: The study was using analytical research with a cross-sectional design. The sampling technique used a purposive sampling method. The minimum sample size is 91 people. Data analysis used univariate, bivariate using chi-square test, and multivariate using logistic regression.

Results: The results of the bivariate analysis showed significant results, namely BMI (RP= 2.20; 95% CI= 1.09-4.43; p= 0.03). Consumption of fried foods (RP= 3.33; 95% CI= 1.69-6.57; p= 0.001). Physical activity (RP= 2.23; 95% CI= 1.04-4.79; p= 0.03). The result of the bivariate analysis that was not significant was smoking (RP= 1.28; 95% CI= 0.55-2.98; p= 0.547). The results of multivariate analysis showed that the most influencing risk factor for hypercholesterolemia was fried food consumption (RP= 5.42; 95% CI= 1.18-16.21; p= 0.003).

Conclusion: The factors associated with hypercholesterolemia are BMI, consumption of fried foods, and physical activity. The most influencing risk factor for hypercholesterolemia is the consumption of fried foods.

A monoallelic germline alteration of ARMC5 causes primary bilateral macronodular adrenal hyperplasia (PBMAH) with Cushing’s syndrome via its subsequent somatic alteration on the other allele as the second hit. PBMAH is sometimes complicated with meningioma. Dependency of such a multi-organ disease on the second hit mechanism was reported before, but this finding has not been confirmed yet. We describe a case of a 65-year-old female with PBMAH, carrying a heterozygous germline alteration of ARMC5, p.R267*, complicated with meningioma associated with somatic loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the unaffected allele. Pathogenic alterations of ARMC5 may also contribute to the development of meningioma by the two-hit mechanism.
ENDOCRINE TUMOURS: Calcitonin in thyroid and extra-thyroid neuroendocrine neoplasms: the two-faced Janus

An increased calcitonin serum level is suggestive of a medullary thyroid cancer (MTC), but is not pathognomonic. The possibility of false positives or other calcitonin-secreting neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) should be considered. Serum calcitonin levels are generally assessed by immunoradiometric and chemiluminescent assays with high sensitivity and specificity; however, slightly moderately elevated levels could be attributable to various confounding factors. Calcitonin values >100 pg/mL are strongly suspicious of malignancy, whereas in patients with moderately elevated values (10–100 pg/mL) a stimulation test may be applied to improve diagnostic accuracy. Although the standard protocol and the best gender-specific cut-offs for calcium-stimulated calcitonin are still controversial, the fold of the calcitonin increase after stimulation seems to be more reliable. Patients with MTC show stimulated calcitonin values at least three to four times higher than the basal values, whereas calcitonin-secreting NENs can be distinguished from a C-cell disease by the absence of or <two-fold response to stimulation. The measurement of calcitonin in fine-needle aspirate washout (FNA-CT) and calcitonin immunocytochemical staining from thyroid nodules are ancillary methods that may significantly improve MTC diagnosis. The present review examines the gray areas in the interpretation of calcitonin measurement in order to provide a tool to clarify the origin of calcitonin secretion and differentiate the behavior of the two-faced Janus of neuroendocrinology: intra-thyroid (MTC) and extra-th9yroid NENs.
Recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1–84) is effective in CASR-associated hypoparathyroidism
Authors: Hawkes Colin Patrick , Shulman Dorothy I , Levine Michael A
Published: September 2020

Introduction

Gain-of-function mutations in the CASR gene cause Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcemia Type 1 (ADH1), the most common genetic cause of isolated hypoparathyroidism. Subjects have increased calcium sensitivity in the renal tubule, leading to increased urinary calcium excretion, nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis when compared with other causes of hypoparathyroidism. The traditional approach to treatment includes activated vitamin D but this further increases urinary calcium excretion.

Methods

In this case series, we describe the use of recombinant human parathyroid hormone (rhPTH)1–84 to treat subjects with ADH1, with improved control of serum and urinary calcium levels.

Results

We describe two children and one adult with ADH1 due to heterozygous CASR mutations who were treated with rhPTH(1–84). Case 1 was a 9.4-year-old female whose 24-h urinary calcium decreased from 7.5 to 3.9 mg/kg at 1 year. Calcitriol and calcium supplementation were discontinued after titration of rhPTH(1–84). Case 2 was a 9.5-year-old male whose 24-h urinary calcium decreased from 11.7 to 1.7 mg/kg at 1 year, and calcitriol was also discontinued. Case 3 was a 24-year-old female whose treatment was switched from multi-dose teriparatide to daily rhPTH(1–84). All three subjects achieved or maintained target serum levels of calcium and normal or improved urinary calcium levels with daily rhPTH(1–84) monotherapy.

Conclusions

We have described three subjects with ADH1 who were treated effectively with rhPTH(1–84). In all cases, hypercalciuria improved by comparison to treatment with conventional therapy consisting of calcium supplementation and calcitriol.

Published: September 2020

This study discusses Riyadlul Ulum Wadda’wah Condong Islamic boarding school’s best practice in learning foreign languages and adopting modern values in its education management system. The experience of this Islamic Boarding School which is known also as Pondok Pesantren Condong, Tasikmalaya, is considered important to be shared to others due to its new policy which blended three existing education systems in the country in spite of the fact that many scholars have overlooked it. The boarding school retained the curriculum of traditional pesantren, adopts the modern Islamic boarding school system of Darussalam Gontor, and applies also general education systems for junior and senior high school system. Using a descriptive-analytic method, this study examines how Condong Islamic Boarding School carried out its modernization program both in learning foreign languages (Arabic and English language) and in coverging three models of education -curriculum of traditional pesantren, Darussalam Gontor’s modern, and general education system for its education program and governance.

Authors: Zuhri LL Saefudin
Published: September 2020

This article discusses how the history of politics in Indonesia. The Islamic movement in Indonesia is so dynamic. This dynamic can be seen from the emerging Islamic movements, which can be grouped into two, namely the political Islam movement and cultural Islam. One of the dynamics that is still strongly discussed today is related to state ideology. Political Islam considers it necessary, while cultural Islam considers it unnecessary. Islam is most importantly embodied in the culture of society, not formalist. In conclusion, Islam does need to be embodied in cultural and political ways, but it does not need to be formalist. The two of them must complement each other. And The bigger the Islamic political movement at the ideological level causes the power of Muslims to weaken and experience stagnation. Therefore, in the Muslim struggle movement, another concept that moves culturally as an alternative is presented so that Muslims no longer experience delays in development.
QUO VADIS HUKUM ISLAM (ANTARA IDEALITAS DAN REALITAS INDONESIA)
Authors: Izzati Dinda
Published: September 2020

Evidently, a few months after the Jakarta Charter was signed, Christian circles from Eastern Indonesia submitted an ultimatum, if the seven words in the Jakarta Charter were still included in the Preamble to the 1945 Constitution, then the consequence was that they would not want to join the Republic of Indonesia. The main reason put forward by Pastor Octavian was that Indonesia was seen from its georaphical interests and structure, Western Indonesia was known as the base of Islamic camouflage, while eastern Indonesia was the basis for Christian communities. Oktavianus added that Christians as an integral part of this nation need to realize that they also have the right to life, religious rights, political rights, economic rights, the same rights to the nation and state as other citizens, who in fact are mostly Muslims. This paper aims to determine and understand the extent to which the basic assumptions of the Indonesian people view the role of Islam as presented in an exclusive format.

Authors: Saihu Saihu
Published: September 2020

This paper argues that culture is a part of religion in the sense that the latter (religion) authentically aims to help bless people as well to perpetuate peace among them. This article uses the term “culture” to refer to this perpetuated value. This action is in tandem with pluralism education; that is, an education that directs its students to free themselves up from any type of prejudice, and to be capable of not only learning knowledge in their classes, but also other cultures and perspectives available in the multicultural societies. Therefore, this pluralism education expects the students to qualify themselves with empathy, tolerance and solidarity to diverse groups of people in this world. Such a tremendous pluralism education occurs in Bali, Indonesia.

AL-QUR’AN DAN HADIS SEBAGAI SUMBER HUKUM ISLAM
Authors: Jaya Septi Aji Fitra
Published: September 2020

National and state life cannot be separated from legal regulations. As a religious community, it is appropriate to obey the legal orders stipulated in a teaching, just as Islam also has rules and laws that must be obeyed by its adherents. The source of law in Islam is the al-Qur'an and Sunnah, the words of Allah and the Sunnah of the Prophet which are the main foundation in Islamic teachings. Understanding of the two sources of law is important because they cannot be separated from one another, there is a relationship between the two in explaining the applicable laws in Islam. So it is proper to understand the two sources of law to be the main thing, if there is an error in understanding between the two, it will damage the existence of the source of the law. By understanding the two sources of law, namely al-Qur'an and Hadith, you will get legal instructions that are in accordance with the guidance of the Shari'a and sunnah of the prophet Muhammad. This paper describes the existence between the two sources of Islamic law in its application in a pluralistic society, using thematic methods.
