“You left a void that we will never be able to fill”: The legacy of Edmond Amran El Maleh in a contemporary Moroccan novella
Authors: Fischione Fernanda
Published: September 2023

The sudden depart of a large portion of the Moroccan Jewish population between 1948 and 1967 left a void in Moroccan society, to the extent that some scholars account for the existence of a “double trauma” – a trauma for both those who left for Israel and the Moroccan society at large. This profound social wound has never healed. The Moroccan Jewish intellectual Edmond Amran El Maleh (1917-2010) is the hero of the novella Aḥǧiyat Idmūn ʿAmrān al-Māliḥ (The riddle of Edmond Amran El Maleh, 2020) by Mohammed Said Hjiouij, which this article analyses. In this novella, Hjiouij stages the double trauma of Jewish and Muslim Moroccans by giving voice to the liminal character of El Maleh, a harsh critic of Zionism and French colonial ideology. A metaphor for the marginal writer and a symbol of collective trauma, the figure of El Maleh is re-employed and loaded with new functions and meanings in a contemporary work of fiction with a post-modern aesthetics.

El derecho a la educación de la infancia inmigrante en la Unión Europea: un análisis documental
Authors: Neubauer Adrian
Published: September 2023

INTRODUCCIÓN. En la última década han migrado millones de menores de edad a la Unión Europea (UE), donde aguardan con incertidumbre conocer su futuro y si podrán proseguir sus estudios en el país de acogida. Este artículo tiene como objetivo sistematizar el modelo de la UE para garantizar el derecho a la educación de los menores inmigrantes a partir de sus políticas educativas. MÉTODO. La investigación se ha desarrollado a través del análisis documental de 70 políticas europeas en vigor (1957-2020), extraídas de EUR-Lex, relacionadas con el derecho a la educación de la infancia inmigrante. Mediante la utilización del software MAXQDA Analytics Pro 2020 se ha realizado un proceso de codificación inductivo-deductivo a partir de las “4 Aes” de Katarina Tomasevski (2004, 2006). RESULTADOS. Se ha observado un aumento abrupto de estas políticas a raíz de la crisis de refugiados que tuvo lugar en el año 2015, aunque la mayoría de ellas son soft policies y han sido emitidas por el Consejo Europeo. Además, el grueso principal de códigos se sitúa en el parámetro relativo a la aceptabilidad, mientras que el de asequibilidad es el menos representado. En un término medio se sitúan la accesibilidad y la adaptabilidad, que disponen de un número de códigos relativamente similar. DISCUSIÓN. La falta de competencias en materia educativa de la UE condiciona profundamente la naturaleza jurídica de sus políticas. Además, en aras de respetar la identidad y la soberanía nacional de sus Estados, su posicionamiento en algunas cuestiones sensibles, como la enseñanza de la lengua y la cultura nativa del alumnado inmigrante, es ambiguo.

Contemporary Shakespeares on Festival Stages: Empathy and Futurity in Poland and Hungary
Authors: Hawkins Rowena
Published: September 2023

Abstract: This article explores “contemporariness” at European international Shakespeare Festivals. It begins by outlining the “disjunctions” and “anachronisms” of festival contexts, which combine highly contemporary productions with deeply commemorative practices. Through their unique temporality (“Festival Time”), festivals allow us to grasp our present moment from a crucial critical distance. To test the limits of this theory, this article considers two productions hosted on festival stages in recent years: Romeo i Julia , a Polish 3D water musical hosted by the Festiwal Szekspirowski in Gdańsk, Poland (2018), and Keresztvíz , a Hungarian production responding to the refugee crisis presented in Gyula, Hungary (2019). Situating these productions in their social, political, and climatic contexts, the article proposes that they use Shakespeare to cast what Giorgio Agamben might call an “untimely” gaze on contemporary concerns, and encourage audiences to look, with hope, towards a better future.
On-chip multifunctional polarizer based on phase change material
Authors: Long YuQian , Fei Yedeng , Xu Yin , Ni Yi
Published: September 2023

Polarizers are used to eliminate the undesired polarization state and maintain the other one. The phase change material Ge2Sb2Se4Te1 (GSST) has been widely studied for providing reconfigurable function in optical systems. In this paper, based on a silicon waveguide embedded with a GSST, which is able to absorb light by taking advantage of the relatively large imaginary part of its refractive index in the crystalline state, a multifunctional polarizer with transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) passages has been designed. The interconversion between the two types of polarizers relies only on the state switching of GSST. The size of the device is 7.5µm∗4.3µm, and the simulation results showed that the extinction ratio of the TE-pass polarizer is 45.37 dB and the insertion loss is 1.10 dB at the wavelength of 1550 nm, while the extinction ratio (ER) of the TM-pass polarizer is 20.09 dB and the insertion loss (IL) is 1.35 dB. For the TE-pass polarizer, a bandwidth broader than 200 nm is achieved with ER>20dB and IL<2.0dB over the wavelength region from 1450 to 1650 nm  and for the TM-pass polarizer, ER>15dB and IL<1.5dB in the wavelength region from 1525 to 1600 nm, with a bandwidth of approximately 75 nm.
Generalized aberration regularization in the single-lens computational imaging system design
Authors: Li Zongling , Tan Fanjiao , Zhang Rongshuai , Sun Zaiwu , Yang Changjian , Hou Qingyu
Published: September 2023

The restoration algorithm can reduce the aberration blur in the single-lens computational imaging system. The single lens and the restoration algorithm should be co-designed to improve the imaging performance of the whole computational imaging system. By investigating the influence of aberrations on computational imaging quality, we find there are aberrations that cannot be removed by restoration algorithm, which cause the loss of high-resolution information. However, such aberrations are not constrained in existing co-design methods. To solve this problem, we propose the generalized aberration regularization (GAR), which mainly constrains the aberrations that reduce the modulation transfer function (MTF) at the high frequency. Experimental results demonstrate that our approach can significantly improve the quality of high-resolution information in the recovery image compared with the existing co-design methods.

Superconducting wide strip photon detector with high critical current bank structure
Authors: Yabuno Masahiro , China Fumihiro , Terai Hirotaka , Miki Shigehito
Published: September 2023

The single-photon detector is an essential technology in photonic quantum information science and technology. Large-scale photonic quantum computers and quantum networks inevitably require numerous high-performance single-photon detectors. Superconducting nanostrip single-photon detectors (SNSPDs) using around 100-nm-wide nanostrips are promising technologies with high detection efficiency, low dark count, and low jitter, but there has been room for evolution in terms of polarization dependence and productivity. Using wide strips with widths of tens of micrometers provides polarization-independent high detection efficiency and high-yield fabrication using high-throughput photolithography with submicron resolution. However, detecting photons with such wide strips has been challenging due to rapidly increasing intrinsic dark counts caused by the uneven distribution of the superconducting current in the strip. Here, we present a novel superconducting wide strip photon detector (SWSPD) with a high critical current bank (HCCB) structure. This new strip structure suppresses the intrinsic dark counts and provides highly efficient photon detection in the wide strips. We have simultaneously achieved a polarization-independent detection efficiency of over 78% for 1550-nm wavelength photons, a low dark count rate (DCR) of ∼80 cps, and a low jitter of 29.8 ps using a 20-µm-wide SWSPD with the HCCB structure. This result paves the way for a new class of photon detectors using ultra-wide superconducting strips. These photon detectors with excellent productivity and polarization-independent high detection performances would boost the advance of large-scale photonic quantum technologies.
Integrated electro-optic control of biphoton generation using hybrid photonics
Authors: Wang Xiaoxi , Mere Viphretuo , Valdez Forrest , Mookherjea Shayan
Published: September 2023

Parametric sources in quantum optics usually require some form of spectro-temporal control for conditional generation of high-purity single-photon states, but their properties have not yet been optimized using integrated microchips. Using external short-pulse lasers and separate devices for pump preparation and for photon generation, as is traditional, incurs many impediments such as reduced performance, increased loss, high cost, and limited scalability. To overcome these limitations, here we demonstrate a circuit including high-bandwidth, high-extinction ratio electro-optic modulators for pump-pulse preparation fully integrated with high-quality factor (Q) microresonators for efficient parametric nonlinearity, together with seamlessly interconnecting waveguides. The microchip uses different optical materials on a common platform and a multi-layer integrated photonic architecture. Using this, we control the joint spectrum of room-temperature biphoton generation for the first time on a single integrated microchip, and demonstrate that the theoretical purity bound can be achieved.

Published: September 2023

Cold Rydberg atoms are a promising platform for quantum technologies, and combining them with optical waveguides has the potential to create robust quantum information devices. Here, we experimentally observe the excitation of cold rubidium atoms to a large range of Rydberg S and D states through interaction with the evanescent field of an optical nanofiber. We develop a theoretical model to account for experimental phenomena present such as the AC Stark shifts and the Casimir–Polder interaction. This work strengthens the knowledge of Rydberg atom interactions with optical nanofibers and is a critical step toward the implementation of all-fiber quantum networks and waveguide quantum electrodynamics (QED) systems using highly excited atoms.

Authors: Chien Ting Fang (Claire)
Published: September 2023

In this article the author presents examples of visual autoethnographic journals that were part of an assignment she developed to foster preservice art teachers’ reflexivity and support the development of their teaching philosophies. This study analyses two preservice art teachers’ visual autoethnographic journals and reports on interviews conducted during the participants’ student teaching programme and post-graduation. The findings indicate that (1) teacher identities were formed by their past personal experiences, (2) past personal experiences influenced their teaching philosophies, (3) making art helped to synthesize ideas for future teaching and (4) developing reflexivity and clarifying teaching philosophies influenced future teaching. The results support an arts-based autoethnographic approach as a valuable method to foster preservice teachers’ reflexivity and the building of teaching philosophies.
Dilema petani di tengah dualisme kebijakan pertanian: Studi kasus strategi penghidupan berkelanjutan petani sawah di kawasan agropolitan Ciwidey, Jawa Barat

Published: September 2023

Agriculture-based policies for rural development and food sufficiency lead to the welfare of farmers. However, the implementation of these policies often cannot address these issues. This study examines the impact of implementing agropolitan area and Sustainable Food Agricultural Land (LP2B) policies on paddy field farmers in the Ciwidey Agricultural Area. A review of the literature on regulations related to these two policies was conducted to identify their application in the Ciwidey area. Furthermore, a phenomenological qualitative approach was carried out to observe rice field farmers as the object of these policies. Agropolitan policies can create capital flows in agricultural areas that open opportunities to diverse farmers' livelihood portfolios. This capital inflow would be followed by activities of primitive accumulation that changed paddy field land tenure. In a strategic location, this change will increase the risk of the paddy field's conversion to non-agriculture. The LP2B policy is used to control this transfer of function. Unfortunately, the policy puts farmers with small land at risk of being in the survival strategy because their livelihood portfolio is limited. Their cultivated rice fields have less economic value compared to horticultural commodities. Although the LP2B policy can generally control land use conversion, paddy field farmers retain their identity. The primitive accumulation that follows the capital inflow due to agropolitan policy raises the risk of LP2B farmers become vulnerable in land ownership, changed from land owners to agricultural laborers. In general, this impact keeps the welfare of farmers below expectations.

Authors: Teixeira Daiane Martins , Borges Júnior Cândido Vieira , Almeida Marcos Inácio Severo de
Published: September 2023

Objetivo: analisar os efeitos das políticas de gênero na criação de empresas por mulheres. Metodologia/abordagem: abordagem quantitativa, com dados secundários extraídos da Pesquisa de Informações Básicas Municipais (MUNIC); e dados públicos de CNPJ, da Receita Federal. O nível de análise foi restrito aos 246 municípios do estado de Goiás. A partir disso, foram realizados testes com dois modelos de regressão binomial negativos. Principais resultados: para as empreendedoras que criaram seus negócios sozinhas, as políticas de gênero apresentaram uma relação positiva; por outro lado, para as que criaram empresas em sociedade, nenhuma influência foi identificada. Com esses resultados, é possível compreender que as mesmas medidas de apoio podem não apresentar efeitos semelhantes a todos os tipos de criação de empresas por mulheres. Contribuições teóricas-metodológicas: este estudo evidenciou que, ao analisar as políticas públicas como meio de fomento ao empreendedorismo por mulheres, deve-se considerar as diferenças existentes entre elas, seja nos aspectos contextuais nos quais estão inseridas, seja como especificidade de cada grupo, tendo em vista que necessidades diferentes requererem ações de apoio distintas. Relevância/originalidade: especialmente para as mulheres que empreendem sozinhas, segundo esta pesquisa, a existência de políticas de gênero mostra-se fator importante, pois dificuldades, como as geradas pela discriminação, poderão ser enfrentadas, atendendo, com isso, às necessidades de acesso à educação, à igualdade, à saúde e à segurança.
The relationship between gender policies and the creation of businesses by women

Published: September 2023

Objective: to analyze the effects of gender policies on women's business creation. Methodology/approach: quantitative approach, with secondary data extracted from the Municipal Basic Information Survey (MUNIC); and public CNPJ data from the Federal Revenue Service. The level of analysis was restricted to the 246 municipalities in the state of Goiás. From this, tests were performed with two negative binomial regression models. Main results: for women entrepreneurs who created their businesses alone, gender policies showed a positive relationship; on the other hand, for those who created companies in partnership, no influence was identified. With these results, it is possible to understand that the same support measures may not have similar effects to all types of business creation by women. Theoretical-methodological contributions: this study showed that, when analyzing public policies as a means of promoting entrepreneurship by women, one should consider the existing differences between them, either in the contextual aspects in which they are inserted, or as the specificity of each group, bearing in mind that needs different require different support actions. Relevance/originality: especially for women who are self-employed, according to this research, the existence of gender policies proves to be an important factor, since difficulties, such as those generated by discrimination, can be faced, thus meeting the needs of access to education, equality, health and safety.

Authors: Munir Muzief , Mustadjab I.
Published: September 2023

In an attempt to overcome mild and moderate dehydration, caused by diarrheal diseases with the outlook of reducing its mortality rate, it seems to be very important to find out many varieties of oral electrolyte solutions which are available in the communities.

Our study was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of salt in half strength of coconut water solution as one of the optional oral electrolyte solutions.

Children under five years of age with diarrhea were used as subjects in this study, and were divided into two groups, i.e. the ooconut water group and the oratrolyte group (Kimia Parma).

The willingness to drink (acceptability)Â·, the frequency of diarrhea and vomiting, the severity of dehydration before and after rehydration, and the symptoms and signs of side-effects such as abdominal cramps and hyperkalemia were recorded.

From this study it is clear that finely ground salt in half strength of coconut water can be used as an optional oral electrolyte solution with satisfactory results and without any harmful effects.
Lessons from insect and disease impacts on radiata pine (Pinus radiataD. Don) plantations in New Zealand over the last hundred years
Authors: Mead D.J. , Burdon R.D.
Published: September 2023

The imp acts of past and potential insect pests and diseases in New Zealand's radiata pine plantations are reviewed. Invariably their impacts have decreased with time or can be easily managed. Despite past biotic impacts. growth rates have increased over the last 100 years. Pitch pine canker (PPC) is perceived as the greatest new threat. PPC's impact in California, Spain, Portugal, South Africa and Chile suggests that in New Zealand it would become a nursery problem. Radiata pine remains the best medium-density softwood for New Zealand although climate change may alter the site limits. While a biotic catastrophe, despite its low probability, remains an important risk, this risk is outweighed by the opportunity costs and risks associated with diversifying into alternative species. A strong biosecurity infrastructure is vital, as is maintaining a broad genetic base from which to breed resistance. Large plantation estates should develop defensive strategies against new biotic invasions.
Impacts of marine cloud brightening scheme on climatic extremes in the Tibetan Plateau
Authors: Zhang Zhihua , Zhu Yuanzhuo , Crabbe Michael James Cardwell
Published: September 2023

As an ecologically fragile plateau and major water source in Asia, the Tibetan Plateau (TP) has grown warmer over recent decades, contributing to frequent occurrence of extreme climate events. It is urgently needed to find a suitable option to mitigate climate change impacts in the TP. The marine cloud brightening (MCB) scheme is proposed to mitigate global warming through the increasing cloud droplet number concentration of low marine clouds to reflect some solar radiation back into space. Until now, impacts of MCB scheme on the TP have not been investigated. In this study, we utilized 13 Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices to assess the evolution of climate extremes over the TP with/without MCB implementation. We found that although the MCB is implemented over ocean only, it would cause significant changes on climate extremes in the TP which is very far from oceans and much higher than sea level. During 2030–2059, MCB implementation can decrease warm temperature extremes, leading to a significant decrease in the TXx index by 6–18°C, the TX90p index by 15–45 days, and the TN90p index by 15–50 days. MCB implementation would also have some cooling effects on cold temperature extremes, leading to an increase in the ID index by 30–80 days, the TX10p index by 22–32 days, and the TN10p index by about 12 days and a decrease in the TNn index by 0.5–1.5°C. Although MCB implementation would not have much impacts on precipitation extremes, it would significantly increase the area of the region with <10% drought frequency, and increase the drought intensity in the west of Lhasa city.

La tolerancia religiosa vista por viajeros extranjeros. Colombia en el siglo XIX
Authors: Cortés Guerrero José David
Published: September 2023

Objetivo: analizar cómo se discutió sobre tolerancia religiosa en la literatura de viajes producida por extranjeros que recorrieron Colombia en el siglo XIX. Metodología: se aplicó análisis textual a por lo menos una veintena de relatos de viajes (diarios, memorias y correspondencia), desentrañando en ellos los puntos de vista que sobre la tolerancia religiosa tenían sus autores. Se ubican las ideas sobre la tolerancia religiosa en el siglo XIX, en los ámbitos político, cultural y social. Originalidad: el artículo es un aporte a la historiografía colombiana del siglo XIX, porque no existen investigaciones publicadas sobre la forma como los extranjeros que recorrieron el país, la mayoría de ellos protestantes, vieron la tolerancia religiosa. Conclusiones: los relatos de viaje muestran que las posturas de los viajeros sobre la tolerancia religiosa no pueden reducirse a una lectura en blanco y negro. Por el contrario, en el artículo vemos las tensiones entre las ideas sobre la tolerancia religiosa que portaban los viajeros y lo que el entorno les mostraba. Siguiendo con lo anterior, se prosigue en la investigación del hecho religioso enfocada en la historia de la tolerancia y la libertad religiosas.
La paz como mediación: aportes de Sanaduría a los estudios de paz desde la historia conceptual y la museología crítica
Authors: Lema Silva Laura , Cure Valdivieso Salima
Published: September 2023

Objetivo: demostrar que el proyecto museográfico “Sanaduría, mediaciones para tejer sentidos plurales de la paz” enriquece los estudios de paz a través de un trabajo colaborativo y participativo que ha explorado sentidos plurales de paz situados territorial, histórica y epistemológicamente. Para llevar a cabo este propósito, se da cuenta del proyecto Sanaduría, el cual, sustentado en la escucha, conversaciones constantes y trabajo de campo, ha buscado entender cómo miembros de los pueblos indígenas nasa, murui, wayúu, pasto y camëntsá y sobrevivientes del conflicto armado de la Asociación de Víctimas y Sobrevivientes del Nordeste Antioqueño piensan la paz. Metodología: el texto articula la historia conceptual, la museología crítica y los diálogos interculturales, lo que hace de Sanaduría un laboratorio metodológico que se propone construir nuevas formas de conocimiento y trazar nuevos caminos para entender la conflictividad que atraviesa el concepto de paz. Originalidad: al constituirse en laboratorio metodológico y pedagógico, el artículo muestra que Sanaduría ha descentrado la discusión sobre la paz desde un punto de vista territorial, cultural y epistemológico y constituye un aporte a los estudios de paz. Conclusiones: al hacer la traducción museográfica de sentidos plurales de la paz, como “juntanza”, “abrir caminos”, “mediar pa-labrar”, “enfriar la palabra” y “trenzar comunidad”, se evidencia el trabajo constante que implica el establecimiento de formas de convivencia que no conciben el conflicto como algo que debe ser resuelto o eliminado, sino como algo que se puede transformar, lo que demuestra que la paz no es un concepto universal ni un estado al que se llega, ya que invoca procesos continuos y negociados.
Nuevo catolicismo en una ciudad episcopal: sociedad, culto y devoción en Puebla, 1885-1914
Authors: Rosas Salas Sergio
Published: September 2023

Objetivo: reconstruir y analizar las devociones y los cultos que se promovieron en la ciudad de Puebla entre 1884 y 1914 para comprender las razones que permitieron la renovación y el auge del catolicismo en aquella ciudad episcopal entre el porfiriato y la revolución. La hipótesis es que las transformaciones que trajo la consolidación liberal en México impulsaron a los católicos a iniciar una renovación religiosa que llegó a crear un nuevo modelo de catolicismo, impulsado a la par por clérigos, religiosos y seglares, el cual fomentó una nueva sacralización del espacio público, una nueva práctica devocional e incluso un nuevo modelo de presencia pública en torno al culto. Metodología: se revisaron fuentes primarias en archivos parroquiales y en bibliotecas de fondos antiguos y se privilegió la mirada local, sin perder de vista que varios procesos ocurrieron como parte del catolicismo social. Originalidad: el trabajo ofrece una doble originalidad. En primer lugar, utiliza los conceptos de nuevo catolicismo y de guerra cultural para comprender la renovación del catolicismo mexicano en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, una perspectiva que puede resultar útil para otras investigaciones y miradas. En segundo lugar, ofrece una mirada sobre una diócesis poco estudiada para este periodo. Conclusión: el trabajo demuestra que, tras la reforma liberal, el catolicismo en México se expresó en la reconstrucción de templos, la promoción de nuevos cultos o la renovación de los ya tradicionales, y en el auge de prácticas piadosas, religiosas, devocionales y conmemorativas, en los distintos recintos sagrados de la ciudad, elementos que permitieron que la Iglesia católica tuviera en Puebla una constante presencia simbólica entre las décadas de 1880 y 1900.

Introduction and aim. Garlic is one of the most popular traditional medicinal herbs which has a number of desirable health benefits. The study was designed to depict the improvement of serum biochemical parameters as well as the histomorphological recovery potential of garlic aqueous extract in hypercholesterolemic mice. Material and methods. A total of thirty Swiss albino mice weighing 24±5g and aged 5 weeks were randomly divided into three groups. Group A: supplied standard mice pellet and water; Group B: standard mice pellet + hypercholesterolemic diet (cow brain: 2 g/kg b.w.t.); and Group C: standard mice pellet + hypercholesterolemic diet (cow brain: 2 g/kg b.w.t.) + garlic extract (25 ml/kg b.w.t.). After four weeks of experimental tenure, samples (blood, liver, and kidney) were collected from each group of mice for serum biochemical analysis and histomorphological study. Results. Compared with hypercholesterolemic mice, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG) concentration, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels significantly decreased respectively by 7%, 20% and 48% along with high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels significantly increased by 47% in garlic extract supplemented group. Based on the histological evaluation in the liver sample of group C, both portal and central veins were normal, and fat droplets were not found in the hepatocytes which were found in the liver of group B. On the other hand, unchanged renal cortex, glomerulus, Bowman’s space, and kidney tubules were seen in group C. Conclusion. Therefore, the above findings of the present research would assist to provide affirmation about the cholesterol-decreasing and cellular restoration potentiality of garlic aqueous extract.

Introduction and aim. Pediatric nurses play an important role in ensuring quality healthcare through job satisfaction and professional behaviors. This study aims to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and professional behaviors in pediatric nurses. Material and methods. This was a descriptive and cross-sectional study.The sample of the study consisted of 244 pediatric nurses who worked in tertiary university hospitals in Turkey and agreed to participate in the study. Data were obtained through face-to-face interviews using a personal information form, the job satisfaction scale for nurses (JSSN), and the behavioral inventory form for professionalism in nursing (BIPN). Data were analyzed using the SPSS 22.0 software and evaluated using descriptive statistics, independent t-tests, one-way ANOVA, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression analysis. Results. The nurses’ JSSN and BIPN means scores were 3.42±0.59 and 5.69±4.05, respectively. A statistically significant moderate positive relationship was found between the pediatric nurses’ professional behaviors and job satisfaction (R=0.342; p<0.001). The regression analysis revealed that professional behaviors significantly and positively influenced job satisfaction in pediatric nurses (β=0.050; p<0.001). Conclusion. This study found that pediatric nurses had a moderate level of job satisfaction and a low level of professional behaviors, and as their professional behavior increased, their job satisfaction also increased.

Introduction and aim. Purpose of the study is to determine whether it is required to use different standards when evaluating visual evoked potential (VEP) measurements of healthy individuals with different blood groups. Material and methods. The study consisted of healthy individuals with different blood groups who have applied to the ophthalmology and neurology outpatient clinic of Düzce University Medical Faculty from January to December 2022. The patients went through detailed ophthalmologic examination and VEP test and only the ones with normal results were included to the study. Results. The study consisted of 119 individuals, with a blood group distribution of 30 A, 29 B, 30 AB and 30 O. VEP latency and amplitude changes were compared and no significant difference was observed within 4 groups in terms of P100 and N70 latency and amplitudes. There was N70 latency prolongation in Rh- group and this difference was found to be statistically significant (p=0.009). Rh+ group was found to be high in terms of P100 amplitudes and this was considered statistically significant (both p=0.023). Conclusion. There was no statistically significant difference in the VEP parameters of the individuals with the ABO blood groups hence same VEP normal values can be used for ABO blood groups.

Introduction and aim. Palliative care is an approach to improve the quality of life of patients and their families facing problems associated with life-threatening illnesses or old age, to manage their pain, distress, and other symptoms, improving their quality of life, and providing psychological support. This study was designed to identify the care practices planned by nurses for the health issues of palliative surgical patients. Material and methods. This is a retrospective, cross-sectional, descriptive study. The data was collected from digital records of the two state hospitals in the Western Black Sea Region of Turkey between January 2019 and January 2020. The research was completed with a total of 391 data of patients undergoing palliative surgery. Frequency and percentage distributions were used in descriptive statistics. Results. The frequency of symptoms observed in patients were determined as cough and sputum (81.8%), dehydration (73.9%), dyspnea (71.9%), fatigue (49.9%), loss of appetite-weight (49.9%), insomnia (44%), pain (37.6%), nausea (29.2%), and constipation (23.8%). The planned nursing diagnoses for these symptoms were identified as risk for falls, imbalanced nutrition, risk for impaired skin integrity, risk for infection, risk for aspiration, deficient knowledge, risk for impaired respiratory function, constipation, ineffective airway clearance, pain, risk for deficient fluid volume, sleep deprivation, impaired gas exchange respectively. Conclusion. This study highlights the insufficient planning of nursing care for the symptoms of palliative surgical patients receiving palliative care in our country. Therefore, it is recommended that palliative care nurses be supported with in-service training on appropriate care planning topics.

Introduction and aim. Multiple primary tumors are defined as having more than one primary tumor in a different organ location in the same person. Therefore, it is important to know pathogenesis of multiple primary neoplasms to discover new forms of primary prevention and secondary prevention, especially connected with genetic tests which are important for the future of medicine as a part of personalized medicine. The aim of the study is to present selected aspects of the pathogenesis of multiple primary neoplasms. Material and methods. PubMed databases and Google Scholar were searched. Analysis of the literature. The rising risk of developing multiple primary cancers is a consequence of the progressive growth and ageing of the population and development of cancer in patients previously treated for cancer. The formation of secondary neoplasms may be multifactorial – to a large extent it is associated with genetic factors that may facilitate neoplastic transformation, for example as a result of radiation therapy, chemotherapy, inherited syndromes, environmental factors such as tobacco or alcohol, sometimes random somatic mutations. Conclusion. Knowledge of the pathogenesis of multiple primary tumors can contribute to a better understanding of the problem, as well as help in the prevention or early diagnosis of multiple primary tumors (primary and secondary prevention).
