Application of Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model to Assess the Environmental Sustainability in Bangladesh
Authors: Akhter Salma , Khanam Murshida
Published: May 2023

This research inspects the associations among several macroeconomic factors in Bangladesh using yearly time series data from 1971 to 2019. It also aimed to determine if the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) hypothesis exists in Bangladesh or not. The findings from the stationarity tests reveal that all variables are ordered I (1) integrated. The ARDL model has been used to explore the longrun and short-run connections between variables in the model. In the long term, the projected findings established the existence of the Kuznets curve hypothesis in the GDP-energy nexus. According to the study, there is a U-shaped association between economic expansion and greenhouse gas emissions. Food production and energy consumption increase emissions, however using biomass does not assist the country to attain sustainability, as an increase in biomass increases greenhouse gas emissions by 1.12%. As a result, our government should explore additional renewable energy sources to restrict emissions and take the required actions in all areas to achieve environmental sustainability.

Rural Women in Peacebuilding and Peacekeeping Process: Azerbaijani Rural Women's Perspectives on Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict
Authors: BABAYEVA Ulviyya
Published: May 2023

Women are undoubtedly among those who have been most adversely influenced by the Karabakh war and the lack of a formal evaluation of the situation regarding women who are directly or indirectly affected by the conflict in the area remains an inadequacy. It is crucial to highlight the challenges faced by conflict-affected women and what should be done from a female perspective. The major goal is to comprehend the Karabakh conflict from the perspectives of women who have experienced it by looking through the effects of the wars between 1988-1994 and 2016–2021. This study also aims to discover how rural women feel about the conflict and its resolution. In order to achieve a sustainable peace, women's views must be heard and understanding the viewpoints of women is crucial to prepare populations for peace. By documenting these perspectives, I will demonstrate how the local and central governments should pay attention to the opinions of the rural women affected by the conflict. Methodology: In the study, theoretical information was given with an overview of the history of the Karabakh Conflict, and in the implementation part, in-depth interviews, which is a technique of qualitative research method, were conducted with 10 rural women who witnessed the war directly or indirectly. Findings: As a result, the Karabakh conflict has had a huge negative impact on women's lives, mentally, economically, and socially. The country's long history of war has left the role of women in society as "housewives" and deepened gender inequality. At the same time, the deficiency of recognition of women peacekeepers in society indicates that there are few or no women working in this field or perhaps they refrain from working openly due to the fear of being lynched in society. Women do not want war anymore and the conflict to end peacefully due to the failure to sign a peace agreement between Armenia and Azerbaijan shows that the threat has not yet completely subsided. In particular, the daily coverage of ceasefire violations in the media creates fear in society and enables to the formation of an impression that "there is a threat of war at any moment."
Güzel Sanatlarda Eril Hegemonik Bakış ve Karşı Duruş

Published: May 2023

Erkek egemen düzen, bütün dünyada toplumsal cinsiyete hükmetmektedir. Bu açıdan bakıldığında, eril söylem pek çok şeyin yanı sıra gizli yorumlamalarında belirli bir hegemonik bakış açısıyla gerçekleştirilmesini gerektirir. Toplumsal pek çok katmanda yer alan erkek egemen yaklaşım biçimi sanatsal düzlemde kendine yer bulmaktadır. Sanat tarihinde yer edinen başyapıtların pek çoğunda kadınları güçsüz ve bağımlı kılan erkek egemen bakış açısını tatmin etmek için yaratıldığı görülür. Bu çalışmada sanat yapıtlarındaki toplumsal cinsiyet yorumlayıcı bir metodoloji üzerinden çözümlenmektedir. Toplumsal cinsiyet literatürü ve görsel analiz ile kurulan ilişkide sanatta ataerkil bakış açısının kadınlar üzerindeki aşağılayıcı etkilerini incelenmektedir. Araştırmada, plastik sanat yapıtlarında ataerkil toplumsal cinsiyet ideolojisinin eril dili nasıl konumlandırdığına yönelik bir irdelemeye gidilmiştir. Geniş bir yelpazeye sahip aktivizm içerisinde yer alan Aktivist Sanat görsel sanatların toplumsal cinsiyet farklılığına, ölçüsüzlüğüne ve adaletsizliğine karşı direnme noktasında muhtemel kritik dönüştürücü etkisini de konu edinir.

Türkiye’deki Ortaöğretim Tarih ve Sosyal Bilimler Ders Kitaplarında Kadın Şahsiyetler
Authors: AKAY ŞAHİN Melis , AÇIKALIN Mehmet
Published: May 2023

Bu çalışma, 2021-2022 eğitim-öğretim yılında kullanılan ortaöğretim Tarih ve Sosyal Bilimler ders kitaplarındaki kadın şahsiyetlerin ne şekilde sunulduğunu tespit etmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışma için on üç ders kitabı incelenmiştir. Bunlardan 9., 10. ve 11. sınıf Tarih ile 12. sınıf Türkiye Cumhuriyeti İnkılap Tarihi ve Atatürkçülük adlı kitaplar zorunlu derslere ait kitaplardır. Çağdaş Türk ve Dünya Tarihi, Demokrasi ve İnsan Hakları, Yönetim Bilimi, Uluslararası İlişkiler, Türk Kültür ve Medeniyet Tarihi, İslam Bilim Tarihi, Sanat Tarihi, Türk İslam Sanatı Tarihi ve Müze Eğitimi adlı kitaplar ise seçmeli sosyal bilimler derslerinin kitapları arasındadır. Çalışmada doküman analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarından bazıları şu şekildedir: Ders kitaplarındaki metinler ve görseller sayısal olarak incelendiğinde, ders kitaplarında yer alan kadın şahsiyetlerin erkek şahsiyetlere oranla oldukça az olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu durum tarihte, bilimde, sanatta ve siyasette öne çıkan birçok kadın olmasına rağmen ders kitaplarında kadın şahsiyetlerin yeterince temsil edilmediği kanaatini oluşturmaktadır. Ayrıca ders kitaplarındaki toplumsal roller ve meslekler değerlendirildiğinde, erkek şahsiyetlerin kadın şahsiyetlere kıyasla çok çeşitli toplumsal rollerde ve mesleklerde sunulduğu saptanmıştır. Bununla birlikte ders kitaplarındaki kadın şahsiyetlerin bağımsız ve bireysel kadınlar olarak sunulması yerine genellikle bir erkeğin yakını olarak tanımlandıkları görülmektedir. Sonuç olarak Tarih ve Sosyal Bilimler ders kitaplarında kadın şahsiyetlerin hak ettiği şekilde temsil edilmediği söylenebilir. Bu çalışma ile gelecekteki Tarih ve Sosyal Bilimler ders kitaplarında daha fazla kadın şahsiyete yer verilmesi konusundaki farkındalığın arttırılması beklenmektedir.
Cumhuriyet Dönemi Popüler Kadın Dergilerinde Mizojini Etkilerinin İncelenmesi: Hayat Dergisi Örneği
Authors: TUNA DUR Gülden
Published: May 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı 70’ler Türkiye’sinde, dönemin önde gelen popüler kültür unsuru niteliğine sahip dergilerinde mizojinik unsurların varlığını görünür kılarak kadına yönelik olumsuz bakış açısını ve erkek egemen kültürün nasıl yaratıldığını ve pekiştirildiğini belirlemektir. Popüler kültür unsurları yoluyla topluma yansıtılan mizojini (kadın düşmanlığı), kadını içinde yaşadığı toplumda ikincil ve aşağı konumda gören her türlü düşmanca bakış açısı, tutum ve davranışı meşru göstermektedir. Bilindiği gibi kitle iletişim araçlarının, popüler kültürü besleyen ve yayan özelliği nedeniyle, toplumu şekillendirmedeki önemi yadsınamayacak kadar büyüktür. Buradan hareketle, bu çalışma 70’ler Türkiye’sinde örnek bir popüler dergide mizojinik (kadın düşmanı) unsurların var olup olmadığının tespitine odaklanılarak ele alınmıştır. Bu hedef doğrultusunda 70’ler Türkiye’sinin popüler dergilerinden biri olarak Hayat Dergisi, ilgili alanda yapılan literatür taraması sonucu ulaşılan kavramsal çerçeve temelinde mizojinik temalar açısından derinlemesine incelenmiştir. Bu amaca hizmet edecek şekilde, mizojinik tutumlar ve bu tutumların neden olduğu mizojinik sonuçlar olmak üzere, iki başlık altında yer alan on yedi mizojinik anlam taşıyan tema ile haber, reklam, köşe yazısı, fotoğraf, resim gibi verilerle eşleşen mizojinik sonuca ulaşılmıştır. Mizojini kavramının, “mizojininin kaynakları ve mizojininin sonuçları” şeklinde ikili bir sınıflama oluşturularak ulaşılan ve çalışmanın güvenirliğini arttırmak amacıyla üç ayrı kodlayıcının en az ikisinin birbirlerinden bağımsız olarak yaptıkları kodlamalarda mutabık oldukları mizojinik temalar, dergide ne oranda mizojinik unsur olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Buna göre, mizojini dönemin popüler dergisi olan ‘Hayat Dergisi’nin, 1970’lerin başı, ortası ve sonu şeklinde bir mantık yürütülerek oluşturulan 1970, 1971, 1974, 1975, 1977, 1978 yıllarına ait 6 sayısında, toplamda 342 kez, dergi başına ise 57 kez tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında mizojinik bakış açısının, 70’ler Türkiye’sinde toplumun en çok okuduğu dergilerden sadece bir tanesinde bu kadar çok sayıda yer almış olmasının, toplumda var olan mizojinik eğilimleri yüksek oranda ürettiğinin ve pekiştirdiğinin bir göstergesi olarak görülmektedir.

Published: May 2023

Objective: Remineralization technologies have been shown to arrest or reverse early carious lesions. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of different agents on enamel remineralization in-vitro. Methods: Thirty-five enamel blocks were prepared and divided into the following groups: Group 1; CaGp and Xylitol-containing gel (R.O.C.S Medical Mineral Gel), Group 2; 1100 ppm NaF and 10% CPP-ACP toothpaste (MI Paste One), Group 3; 0.45% SnF2-1150 ppm F toothpaste (Enamelon), Group 4; Positive Control-1450 ppm NaF toothpaste (Colgate Total) and Group 5; Negative Control (deionized water). Microhardness was measured at baseline, after demineralization, and after respective treatments for different treatment groups using a digital Micro Vickers Hardness Tester. For producing demineralized lesions, samples were stored in acidic hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC, pH=4.8) for three days. The Paired Sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, and Tukey were used to compare data and SMH recovery (%SMHR) calculated among treatments. Results: The mean baseline surface microhardness value was statistically non-significant between the groups (p=.378). CaGP and Xylitolcontaining gel demonstrated having the most protective effect against demineralization. The surface remineralization potential of 1100 ppm NaF and 10% CPP-ACP containing novel toothpaste (MI Paste One) was almost similar to the positive control (1450 ppm Fluoride toothpaste)group (p>.05). Conclusions: All treatment groups showed remineralization after respective treatments and these agents can be used as an effective preventive measure for pediatric patients.
Is Allergic Rhinitis Associated With Enuresis Nocturna In Childhood ?
Authors: YASAR Adem , YILMAZ Özge , YUKSEL H
Published: May 2023

Introduction

Allergic rhinitis is the most common form of non-infectious rhinitis and is manifested with the symptoms of nasal congestion, sneezing, nasal discharge, and itching. Primary enuresis nocturna is involuntary urination while asleep after five years, at which bladder control usually begins. Our objective was to evaluate the relationship between allergic rhinitis and primary enuresis nocturna in childhood in this research.

Methods:

We included 300 children with allergic rhinitis and 300 control cases between the age of 5 and 17 years. With allergic rhinitis cases, age, gender, body mass index percentile, other allergic disorders, allergic rhinitis diagnosis age, allergic rhinitis severity and distribution, presence of primary enuresis nocturna, and presence of primary enuresis nocturna in the family were recorded. Subjects with disorders causing enuresis were excluded from the study.

Results:

The mean age in the allergic rhinitis and control groups was 9,6±3,4 vs. 10,0±3,1 years, respectively (p=0,15). There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of gender, age, body mass index percentile, and primary enuresis nocturna presence in the family (p=0.29, p=0.15, p=0.46, p=0.17; respectively). Primary enuresis nocturna was significantly higher in allergic rhinitis cases (p=0.02). Primary enuresis nocturna was significantly higher in boys than in girls (p=0.007). There is a significant difference in age and gender between those with and without primary enuresis nocturna in allergic rhinitis groups (p=0,001, p=0.01, respectively).

Conclusion:

We conclude that as allergic rhinitis increases the incidence of primary enuresis nocturna and worsens the quality of life, its treatment should not be neglected.

Objective: This study aims to adapt the Patient-Nurse Trust Scale to Turkish and perform validity and reliability analyses.

Methods: This study has been conducted as methodological. It was conducted between February 2021 and June 2021 in a training and research hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The study was completed with 311 participants. Introductory Information Form, Patient-Nurse Trust Scale, and Trust in Nurses Scale were used for data collection. In addition to descriptive statistics, language validity, content validity, construct validity, criterionrelated validity, discrimination, internal consistency reliability, two-half test reliability, and item analysis methods were used to determine the scale’s psychometric properties.

Results: As a result of factor analysis, it was determined that the scale showed a single factor structure, and explained 66.63% of the total variance. Item factor load values were found to vary between .74 and .88. The ratio of the chi-square value to the degrees of freedom (397.496/112) was found to be 3.549. It was found that RMSEA= .09, GFI= .86, IFI= .93, NFI= .91, CFI= .93, and RFI= .87. It was found that the correlations of all items varied between .71 and .87. The Chronbach’s alpha value for the whole scale was calculated as .97. As a result of parallel test analysis, it was determined that there was a significant positive correlation between both scales (r= .301; p= .000).

Conclusion: The exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis results of the Turkish version of the scale are acceptable, and their reliability indexes are high.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to apply Demirjian’s and Willems’ methodologies and to define whether there are any discrepancies in

predicting dental age versus chronological age in a sample Turkish Caucasian children.

Methods: A total of 150 Turkish Caucasian children with known chronological age and gender were chosen. The chronological age was determined by subtracting the date of birth from the date of the radiograph, and it was expressed as a number with two decimal places. Each age group was determined to have a minimum sample size of 12 and a maximum sample size of 27. All panoramic radiographs were scored according to the criteria of Demirjian’s and Willems methodologies with Onyx Ceph 3.1.54 software.

Results: The dental ages of the cases ranged from 4.82 to 15.66 years calculated by the Demirjian’s method, with an average of 9.47±2.27 years, while the Willems method of the cases ranged from 4.13 to 14.34 years calculated by the Demirjian’s method, with an average of 8.87±2.24 years. According to Demirjian’s method, in the developmental evaluation of dental age, 45.3% of boys were found to have a statistically higher chronological age than girls (p.05).

Conclusion: The Willems method was shown to be more accurate in determining dental age in Turkish children. Further studies on large population groups and diverse ethnicities are required to increase the reliability and repeatability of the results.

Published: May 2023

Objective: Objective: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaws (MRONJ), is often described as a side-effect of bisphosphonates within the dental school curriculum. However, as highlighted in the current literature, some antiresorptive and antiangiogenic drugs may also cause MRONJ. This study aimed to investigate the awareness and knowledge of post-graduate dental students (PDSs) from different specialty/doctoral programs towards MRONJ.

Methods: An electronic questionnaire containing 28 questions in 3 different sections focusing on demographic characteristics, general information, and clinical attitude, was prepared. Two-thousand PDSs from 27 universities were invited to participate in the survey in December 2021. The obtained data were evaluated statistically using descriptive statistics and the Chi-Square test (p=.05).

Results: The response rate of the survey was 10%. The number of PDSs showed a homogeneous distribution for each specialty, whereas the number of women participants was higher than that of men (p.05). PDSs had higher rates of correct answers to general information questions about antiresorptive drugs than for antiangiogenic drugs. 92% of participants stated that they obtained their knowledge about MRONJ from their undergraduate education.

Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal the necessity of updating the dental school curriculum in line with the current literature on MRONJ, as well as including more postgraduate courses on MRONJ during the specialty/doctoral education period.
Проблематика изучения китайских боевых искусств и цигун в современной России
Authors: Михайловский Трифон
Published: May 2023

Статья посвящена критическому обзору с позиции православного богословия научной литературы по китайским боевым искусствам и психофизическим практикам, а также анализу самих практик и их теоретического осмысления в категориях даосской философии. Именно позиция критического отстранения позволяет увидеть коренные недостатки апологетических работ, состоящие в отсутствии рефлексии в сфере духовного опыта и в принятии за истину того содержания категорий, с помощью которых этот опыт осмысляется: дао, ци и др. Предлагается православная оценка этого духовного опыта, раскрывающая его магическую сущность и указывающая на опасность развития тонких страстей, в результате которого человек может стать восприимчив к воздействиям падших духов. Анализируется содержание категории ци как центральной для психофизической практики цигун, и это содержание соотносится с сутью православного учения о тварных и нетварных (божественных) энергиях, обожении и спасении.
The article is devoted to a critical review from the perspective of Orthodox theology of the scientific literature on Chinese martial arts and psychophysical practices, as well as devoted to an analysis of these practices themselves and their theoretical understanding in the categories of Taoist philosophy. It is the position of critical detachment that makes it possible to see the fundamental shortcomings of apathetical works, which consist in the lack of reflection in the sphere of spiritual experience and in taking for truth the content of the categories with which this experience is comprehended: tao, qi, etc. An Orthodox assessment of this spiritual experience is proposed, revealing its magical essence and pointing to the danger of the development of subtle passions, as a result of which a person may become susceptible to the influences of fallen spirits. The content of the qi category is analyzed as central to the psychophysical practice of qigong, and this content correlates with the essence of the Orthodox theological teaching about created and uncreated (Divine) energies, deification and salvation.
Exploring Toxoplasma gondii´s Biology within the Intestinal Epithelium: intestinal-derived models to unravel sexual differentiation

Published: May 2023

A variety of intestinal-derived culture systems have been developed to mimic in vivo cell behavior and organization, incorporating different tissue and microenvironmental elements. Great insight into the biology of the causative agent of toxoplasmosis, Toxoplasma gondii, has been attained by using diverse in vitro cellular models. Nonetheless, there are still processes key to its transmission and persistence which remain to be elucidated, such as the mechanisms underlying its systemic dissemination and sexual differentiation both of which occur at the intestinal level. Because this event occurs in a complex and specific cellular environment (the intestine upon ingestion of infective forms, and the feline intestine, respectively), traditional reductionist in vitro cellular models fail to recreate conditions resembling in vivo physiology. The development of new biomaterials and the advances in cell culture knowledge have opened the door to a next generation of more physiologically relevant cellular models. Among them, organoids have become a valuable tool for unmasking the underlying mechanism involved in T. gondii sexual differentiation. Murine-derived intestinal organoids mimicking the biochemistry of the feline intestine have allowed the generation of pre-sexual and sexual stages of T. gondii for the first time in vitro, opening a window of opportunity to tackling these stages by “felinizing” a wide variety of animal cell cultures. Here, we reviewed intestinal in vitro and ex vivo models and discussed their strengths and limitations in the context of a quest for faithful models to in vitro emulate the biology of the enteric stages of T. gondii.

Objective

The real causal relationship between human gut microbiota and T1D remains unclear and difficult to establish. Herein, we adopted a two-sample bidirectional mendelian randomization (MR) study to evaluate the causality between gut microbiota and T1D.

Methods

We leveraged publicly available genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data to perform MR analysis. The gut microbiota-related GWAS data from 18,340 individuals from the international consortium MiBioGen were used. The summary statistic data for T1D (n = 264,137) were obtained from the latest release from the FinnGen consortium as the outcome of interest. The selection of instrumental variables conformed strictly to a series of preset inclusion and exclusion criteria. MR-Egger, weighted median, inverse variance weighted (IVW), and weighted mode methods were used to assess the causal association. The Cochran’s Q test, MR-Egger intercept test, and leave-one-out analysis were conducted to identify heterogeneity and pleiotropy.

Results

At the phylum level, only Bacteroidetes was indicated to have causality on T1D (OR = 1.24, 95% CI = 1.01-1.53, P = 0.044) in the IVW analysis. When it comes to their subcategories, Bacteroidia class (OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.06-1.53, P = 0.009, PFDR = 0.085), Bacteroidales order (OR = 1.28, 95% CI = 1.06-1.53, P = 0.009, PFDR = 0.085), and Eubacterium eligens group genus (OR = 0.64, 95% CI = 0.50-0.81, P = 2.84×10-4, PFDR = 0.031) were observed to have a causal relationship with T1D in the IVW analysis. No heterogeneity and pleiotropy were detected.

Conclusions

The present study reports that Bacteroidetes phylum, Bacteroidia class, and Bacteroidales order causally increase T1D risk, whereas Eubacterium eligens group genus, which belongs to the Firmicutes phylum, causally decreases T1D risk. Nevertheless, future studies are warranted to dissect the underlying mechanisms of specific bacterial taxa’s role in the pathophysiology of T1D.

Background

T1-weighted spoiled 3D Gradient Recalled Echo pulse sequences, exemplified by Liver Acquisition with Volume Acceleration-flexible MRI (LAVA-Flex), are currently the preferred MR sequence for detecting erosions of the sacroiliac joint (SIJ). However, zero echo time MRI (ZTE) is recently reported to provide excellent visualization of the cortical bone.

Purpose

To directly compare the diagnostic accuracy of ZTE and LAVA-Flex in the detection of structural lesions of the SIJ, including erosions, sclerosis and joint space changes.

Materials and methods

Two readers independently reviewed the ldCT, ZTE and LAVA-Flex images of 53 patients diagnosed as axSpA and scored the erosions, sclerosis and joint space changes. Sensitivity, specificity and Cohen’s kappa (κ) of ZTE and LAVA-Flex were calculated, while McNemar’s test was employed to compare the two sequences for the positivity of detecting the structural lesions.

Results

Analysis of diagnostic accuracy showed a higher sensitivity of ZTE in comparison with LAVA-Flex in the depiction of erosions (92.5% vs 81.5%, p<0.001), especially first-degree erosions (p<0.001) and second-degree erosions (p<0.001), as well as sclerosis (90.6% vs 71.2%, p<0.001), but not joint space changes (95.2% vs 93.8%, p=0.332). Agreement with ldCT was also higher in ZTE in the detection of erosions than LAVA-Flex as indicated by the κ values (0.73 vs 0.47), as well as in the detection of sclerosis (0.92 vs 0.22).

Conclusion

With ldCT as the reference standard, ZTE could improve diagnostic accuracy of erosions and sclerosis of the SIJ in patients suspected of axSpA, in comparison with LAVA-Flex.
