Authors: ERÇETİN Ayşe Pınar , ERCAL Tijen
Published: April 2023

Amaç: Çalışmamızda Sağlık Hizmetleri Meslek Yüksekokulu öğrencilerinin sigara kullanım alışkanlıklarının sosyodemografik özellikler kapsamında ortaya koyulması, nikotin bağımlılık düzeylerinin belirlenmesi, sigara kullanımı konusunda bakış açıları ve bilinç düzeylerinin tespit edilmesi ve öğrencilerin okulda dumansız hava sahası olmasına ilişkin görüşlerinin saptanması amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmamız yüksekokulumuzda 2021-2022 eğitim döneminde eğitim ve öğretim gören 389 öğrenciyi kapsayan tanımlayıcı kesitsel araştırmadır. Öğrenciler gönüllülük esasına dayanarak Google Forms üzerinden “Kişisel bilgi formu”, “Fagerström Nikotin Bağımlılık Testi”, “Sigara Bağımlılığına Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği” ve “Okullarda Dumansız Hava Sahası Ölçeği” anketlerini doldurmuştur. Veriler SPSS 24 paket programı ile değerlendirilerek, p< 0,05 kabul edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Öğrencilerin %74‘ü kız, %26‘sı erkek olup yaş ortalaması 20,25±1,58 ‘dir. Sigara içen öğrenci popülasyonu %48,9 olup, nikotin bağımlılığı çok hafif düzeyde bulunmuştur (2,78±2,68). Erkek öğrencilerin sigara içme alışkanlığı oranı ve nikotin bağımlılığı (3,25±2,57) kız öğrencilerden (2,53±2,72) daha fazladır (p<0,05). Okul başarı durumu daha iyi olanların nikotin bağımlılığı daha düşüktür (p=0,05). Kız öğrenciler, birinci sınıf öğrencileri ve ebeveyni sigara içenler sigaranın zararlarına karşı daha yüksek farkındalığa sahiptir (p<0,05). Öğrencilerin yaklaşık %70 ‘lik çoğunluğu okulda dumansız hava sahası olmasını istemektedir.
Sonuç: Sigara içme alışkanlığı DSÖ‘nün Küresel Yetişkin Tütün Araştırması’nda bulduğu oranına benzer çıkmıştır. Erkek öğrencilerin daha fazla sigara içiyor ve daha yüksek nikotin bağımlılığı olmasına karşın bağımlılık düzeyi hafif saptanmıştır. Ebeveyni ve yakın arkadaşları sigara içenlerin beklenenin aksine daha düşük olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Sigara içen ve içmeyen popülasyonda sigaranın sağlığa zararları konusunda farkındalık orta düzeyde bulunmuştur. Bu durumun öğrencilerin kampüs içerisinde dumansız hava sahası istemeleri yöneticileri bu konuda tedbir alma ve yönlendirme konusunda bir uyarı niteliği taşıdığı kanısına varılmıştır.

Authors: Nguyen Minh Giang
Published: April 2023

The purpose of this article is to explore the national identity that Vietnamese diasporas have conserved and developed within the Australian multicultural society. This research conducted a qualitative study whose data were collected through 7 in-depth interviews with 1 male officer living in Western Australia, 1 male officer living in South Australia, 1 female officer living in New South Wales, 1 female overseas student living in Victoria, 1 female officer living in Victoria for less 1 year, and 2 female officers living in Victoria for between 1 and 5 years. The data were analysed using content analysis themes development. Data were collected between February 2022 and March 2022. Three themes that emerged from the data were language barrier, cultural differences, and ideological differences. The cultural adaption and integration of Vietnamese diasporas from other occupations interpreted into several positive outcomes, including spreading the Vietnamese cultural image. However, a number of unfavorable outcomes are also indicated in the data such as ideological conflicts. Through purpose-sampling technique, this article also discuss about the experience within the early Vietnamese community in Australian multicultural society in relation to the acculturation strategy of Vietnamese diasporas. Increasingly, the Vietnamese comprises of various origin, professional training, and regional culture. The findings make an effort to inform the policy-maker and administrator in community focus on the growing reality of mobility in the population of North Vietnamese overseas students and professionals. Since data was collected from the early Vietnamese diasporas as well as from the current Vietnamese diasporas, this article looks forward to providing a different viewpoint from previous studies which largely focused on the cultural adaption and integration of only one-way process (the early Vietnamese diasporas or the current Vietnamese diasporas).

Running title: AC-to-hip ratio and ephedrine requirement
Authors: CAN Abdullah , AKSOY MEHMET , DAS Ayse , AKSOY Ayse
Published: April 2023

Objective: Maternal hypotension caused by extensive sympathetic blockade is a serious complication of spinal anesthesia during cesarean section. This study planned to determine the relationship between weight, height, BMI, abdominal circumference (AC), hip circumference (HC), and AC-to-hip ratio with the ephedrine consumption in patients who underwent cesarean section with subarachnoid block. Materials and Methods: The study population comprised 60 women. Prior to spinal anesthesia; patients' demographic characteristics (age, weight, height), abdominal and hip circumferences, basal hemodynamic parameters, and ASA physical status were recorded. To minimize errors, three consecutive measurements were obtained; results were averaged and the AC-to-hip ratio was calculated by dividing the values of the abdominal (cm) and hip circumference (cm). In all patients, spinal anesthesia was done in the sitting position using 2.4 ml 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine (12 mg). Persistent hypotension was treated with intravenous ephedrine (5 mg). The number of patients who used ephedrine and the total amount of ephedrine used during surgery were recorded. Results: Of these 60 participants, 40 (66.6%) patients had hypotension requiring ephedrine administration. There is a positive correlation between ephedrine consumption (mg) and abdominal circumferences (r=0.280, p=0.03). Also, there is a significant positive correlation between ephedrine consumption (mg) and AC-to-hip ratio (r=0.608, p<0.001). The correlation coefficient between the ephedrine dose with the AC-to-hip ratio was 56.805, the p-value was <0.001 and AC was 0.211, with a p-value of 0.030 which means the correlation was statistically significant. Conclusion: Abdominal circumference and AC-to-hip ratio have a significant correlation with ephedrine consumption in patients who underwent cesarean section via subarachnoid block with a given dose of 2.4 ml 0.5% hyperbaric bupivacaine.

Authors: Ta kriye , Dilaver rem , n smail , Tok Birg
Published: April 2023

Aim : Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has recently become a significant public health problem around the world, with a reported prevalence of 25%. In this study, we aimed to investigate the utility of biochemical and hematological markers in the progression from hepatosteatosis to fibrosis and to examine their superiority to each other by comparing them with pathological scoring parameters.
Materials and Methods: : Pathological results of patients who underwent liver biopsy for different indications were reviewed retrospectively.Of these, 120 patients with fatty liver were selected and their biopsy specimens were re-evaluated according to the NAFLD Activity Score (NAS). The relationship between pathological scores and serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), AST to platelet ratio index (APRI), red blood cell distribution width (RDW), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), RDW to platelet ratio (RPR), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), RDW to platelet ratio (RPR), and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) was analyzed
Results: The results indicated that ALT, APRI, and GGT were significant predictors of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), while GGT, APRI, and RPR were significant predictors of fibrosis. Additionally, ROC analysis confirmed the significant predictive value of APRI, RPR, and GGT in the diagnosis of fibrosis.
Conclusion:. Based on these results, we consider that GGT and APRI are better predictors than other biomarkers.

Authors: rek Esra , rk G
Published: April 2023

Background/Aims: The present study aims to evaluate the levels of depression and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after surgical globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation (Gpi-DBS) treatment in patients with generalized and segmental dystonia refractory to medical treatment.

Methods: Seventeen patients diagnosed with primary and secondary dystonia who were selected for GPi-DBS by the neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry council were included in the study. The patients were divided into two groups: primary dystonia and secondary dystonia. All patients were evaluated using the Burke-Fahn-Marsden Dystonia Rating Scale (BFMDRS) to assess dystonia-related loss of function and disability, the Short Form 36 (SF-36) to assess HRQoL levels, and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) to assess depression levels before Gpi-DBS and 1 year after Gpi-DBS, retrospectively.

Results: In this study, significant improvement in BFMDRS scores and significant improvement in HRQoL levels were observed after 1 year of Gpi-DBS treatment in all dystonia types. Moreover, significant improvement was found in dystonia severity and disability levels, and HRQoL levels in primary dystonia and secondary dystonia subgroups.

Conclusions: We suggest that Gpi-DBS improves dystonia symptoms, and increases HRQoL levels in dystonia. In addition, this study is the first in Turkey to evaluate the effect of Gpi-DBS on HRQoL levels in dystonia. However, we believe that further research with more participants is also needed in Turkey in this regard.
Investigation of Electrical Activity of Hypothalamic Arcuate Nucleus Cholinergic Neurons in Fasting and Fed State in ChAT-Cre Transgenic Mice
Authors: Yavuz Yavuz , lmaz Bayram , er zge , Atasoy Deniz
Published: April 2023

Aim:The hypothalamus consists of many subnuclei and contains neural pathways that play a significant role in feeding behavior. Cholinergic neurons in the basal forebrain have been shown to be involved in satiety activation during feeding, but the effect of hypothalamic cholinergic neurons on food intake is unclear. The aim of this study was to use optogenetics to examine the synaptic connections and electrophysiological features of acetyltransferase (ChAT) neurons in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus (ARC), a region largely associated with feeding behavior, during fasting and satiety.
Materials and Methods: Fifteen (aged between 4-6 weeks) ChAT-Cre male mice were used in all experiments. Adeno-associated virus (AAV-GFP) was injected to specifically label ChAT neurons localized in the hypothalamic arcuate nucleus. In addition, AAV-ChR2 virus was injected for optogenetic experiment to determine the synaptic connection of these neurons with neighboring neurons. Then, fasting and fed mice were decapitated for electrophysiology recordings.
Results: Our results showed that the firing frequency in ARC-ChAT neuron recordings from fed mice was significantly higher than in fasted mice (p<0.05). We analyzed the synaptic connections of ARC CHAT neurons in neighboring cells by optogenetic technique. Our findings revealed that ARC CHAT neurons make heterogeneous (activation, inhibition, unchanged) synaptic connections to neighboring neurons.
Conclusion: The differential responses of arcuate cholinergic neurons in hunger and satiety suggest that these neurons may play an important role in modulating hypothalamic appetite circuits.

Published: April 2023

Due to the increasing challenges of parenting, particularly for working mothers, continuous monitoring of a child has become difficult. To address this issue, a smart baby monitoring system based on IoT and machine learning has been developed to provide real-time intimation to parents. The system monitors room temperature, humidity, cry detection, and facial recognition using various sensors, and the data is transmitted to the Adafruit server through controllers with an Internet connection. The machine learning model is used to detect the facial emotions of registered babies. Parents can monitor the live activities and emotions of their child through an external web camera and remotely swing the baby cradle upon cry detection using their web application. Real-time room temperature and humidity levels can also be checked. In case of abnormal actions, the system sends notifications to the parent's web application, providing a relief for all working parents to efficiently manage their time while taking care of their babies.

Gender, inclusion and the humanitarian principles in conflict contexts
Authors: Pinnington Rose
Published: April 2023

Gender equality and inclusivity are important considerations in humanitarian efforts to alleviate suffering and preserve dignity in conflicts. However, where there is systemic gender-based marginalization, humanitarian organizations continue to face severe challenges. This paper demonstrates the importance of assessing the application of humanitarian principles – humanity, neutrality, impartiality and independence – in different contexts to understand their impact on the promotion of gender equality and inclusion. While humanitarian principles are compatible with assistance projects that consider gender in their design and analysis, tensions can emerge between the principles.

Authors: Merouani Walid , Messekher Hayat , Hamaizia Adel , Ait Belkacem Mahrez
Published: April 2023

As demonstrated by the country’s constitution and its acceptance of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Algeria is committed to tackling inequality and social exclusion. However, the current social protection system – inclusive of social security, healthcare and pensions, among other aspects – is struggling under increasing financial strain. The lack of a strategic approach to social protection policies is impacting Algeria’s citizens. This paper assesses the country’s current social protection space and explores the options for improving outcomes and funding, including universal basic income, expanding social security coverage and contributory revenues, and combating illicit financial flows. This research paper provides the first comprehensive mapping of the social protection space in Algeria, highlighting the broad activities led by government entities and the important role of homegrown civil society organizations (CSOs) and community-based organizations. The paper also provides a snapshot of public opinion on key social protection issues. With increasing demand for social protection across the region, the assessment here illustrates a range of issues and solutions that are applicable not only to Algeria but across the Middle East.

Published: April 2023

As a key educational hub linking China to Southeast Asia, Yunnan constitutes an important strategic space for cultivating foreign language talents of Southeast Asian languages. Following Duff’s multiscalar approach of theorizing language socialization (2019), this study examines the Vietnamese language learning experiences of Chinese students in Yunnan. By selecting nine participants majoring in Vietnamese for different length of periods, this study reveals a series of challenges confronting Vietnamese majors at micro-, meso- and macro-levels. The study also shows that Chinese students mobilize their linguistic, social and cultural resources to overcome their learning challenges and shape their perceptions towards learning Vietnamese. The findings of the study can contribute to a better understanding of how language learning is mediated in the broader process of the socioeconomic transformations between China and Vietnam.
Post-traumatic Stress Disorder and War: A Systematic Review
Authors: Bazini Mairi M. , Konstantopoulou Georgia
Published: April 2023

PTSD has been linked in the literature to traumatic experiences of car accidents, natural disasters, sexual assaults and especially war. This is evidenced by the relevant literature research reported in the thesis.  The research was guided by PRISMA 2020, which helped to ensure the quality of the research (Page et al., 2021a; 2020b). Initially, research was sought that addressed the association between this disorder and experiences of war. Of the found sources of material, a part was the category of previous similar type of research (N=7) on the relevant topic, from which the usefulness of the present study became apparent, with the limited Greek literature and the focus of the existing one on veteran soldiers. An important finding was the much higher prevalence of the general population and children and youth, compared to veterans. The association between PTSD and war, its intensity and prevalence, depends on other factors such as demographics, the type of trauma, the psychosocial make-up of the individual and his/her socio-cultural identity. There is a need for further research into this phenomenon, with the aim of formulating targeted policies for prevention, treatment-intervention and rehabilitation of people who have experienced the inhuman situations of war.

Published: April 2023

Georgia is one of the world's oldest wine areas. Interest to by-products of vine processing is rising because they may be exploited as source of bioactive compounds for pharmaceutical and cosmetic purposes, rather than being discarded. The aim of the present research was to study polyphenolic compounds content in Saperavi grapevine shoots extract. Shoots of Saperavi grapevine were collected in Kakheti, Georgia. Extract was preliminary prepared and concentrated 4-fold. Polyphenols were extracted using Methanol and total phenolic content (TPC) was measured with Folin-Ciocalteu (F-C) reagent in terms of Gallic acid. The qualitative composition and content of phenolic compounds was studied with Liquid Chromatography - tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC–MS/MS). The identification was achieved by comparison of the retention times (tR) and spectra characteristics of individual compounds with those in data library. As a result, 14 different phenolic compounds were isolated. Received results demonstrated possibility of using Georgian Saperavi grapevine shoots as a source of biologically active ingredients, for which studies should be proceeded accordingly.

Predict Early Pneumonitis in Health Care Using Hybrid Model Algorithms
Authors: Srikanth M. , Upendra Ramisetty , Sri Reddy Navya
Published: April 2023

Earlier methods concentrated on constructing a single CNN model, while the ensemble learning paradigm has received less attention. Based on our survey results, we chose to utilize an ensemble model comprising multiple CNN models to predict pneumonia diagnosis from x-rays. We proposed employing hybrid model algorithms to predict early pneumonitis in health care. Hybrid model algorithms are increasingly used in healthcare due to their ability to combine the strengths of multiple algorithms to achieve better performance than a single algorithm. In the case of early detection of pneumonitis, this is particularly important, as it is a serious condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent further complications. Artificial neural networks are well suited to process complex and non-linear data, which is important in healthcare where patient data can be highly heterogeneous. Decision trees can identify the most important features for predicting pneumonitis and can be used to generate rules for clinical decision-making. Support vector machines can be used for classification tasks, which is important in identifying patients who are at high risk for pneumonitis. By combining these algorithms in a hybrid model, it may be possible to achieve better performance than using a single algorithm alone. For example, an artificial neural network could be used to pre-process the data and identify the most important features, which are then fed into a decision tree for rule generation. The resulting rules could then be used to classify patients using a support vector machine.

Published: April 2023

Cilnidipine, also known as dihydropyridine, is a calcium antagonist that has that chemical formula. It does this by blocking L-type calcium channels, which prevents calcium from entering the capillaries. This results in a reduction in blood pressure. When taken orally in tablet form, the medicine has a lower bioavailability than when it is injected. This is because it is less water-soluble. A substance was produced as a result of the combination of PEG 400 and propylene glycol that was neither hard nor sticky in nature. Inclusion complexes that are produced with cyclodextrin contribute to an improvement in the drug's solubility and release. We studied the influence that PEG 400 and propylene glycol would have on the formula by using a factorial arrangement. A 32-full factorial design was utilised in order to attain the maximum level of optimization for the rapidly disintegrating film. In in vitro drug release investigations using PEG 400 and propylene glycol, independent parameters such as pH, thickness, weight uniformity, percent drug content, folding endurance, and disintegration time were examined and analysed.

Authors: Simanjuntak Jimmy
Published: April 2023

Suspension of debt payment (PKPU) is an Indonesian Bankruptcy Law instrument to resolve disputes over receivables through reconciliation between debtors and creditors, so that debtors can continue their business. Parties that can submit a PKPU application are creditors and debtors themselves. If the creditor submits an application for PKPU against the debtor, then the creditor is obliged to simply prove the fulfillment of Article 2 paragraph (1) of the KPKPU Law, where the debtor has more than one creditor and there is a debt that is due and collectible. This study aims to analyze the use of debtor information from SLIK OJK which is used as valid evidence, to fulfill the requirements of Article 8 paragraph (4) jo. Article 2 paragraph (1) of the KPKPU Law in the PKPU application submitted by creditors. In the event that the creditor is a business entity in the banking sector, in the case of a commercial bank, it has the right to access debtor information from the OJK SLIK as stipulated in Article 2 paragraph (1) jo. Article 14 paragraph (2) POJK 18/POJK.03/2017, the creditor can submit debtor information from SLIK OJK as evidence to prove the existence of other creditors who have receivables from the same debtor. The validity of using debtor information from SLIK OJK as evidence is confirmed by Decision No. 92/Pdt.Sus-PKPU/2023/PN Niaga.Jkt.Pst. however, the use of data from the OJK SLIK in submitting PKPU applications must be carried out with caution and limited to the existence of debtors' debts contained in the OJK SLIK data.
Arduino Based Sign Language Interpreter for Speech Impaired People
Authors: Prakash JS Dr Siva , Ram S Vishal
Published: April 2023

Our individual lives depend significantly on communication. Deaf and dumb people find it difficult to engage in normal conversations with other people. According to the World Health Organization, across the world 466 million people are affected (more than 5 percent of the world's population) and in that 34 million are kids. Consequently, they are unable to communicate efficiently with others. Sign language is the medium through which deaf people communicate, which involves the usage of gestures to express their feelings and emotions. A sign language gesture is a particular action of the hands, composed of a specific form. The main motive behind this device is to make disabled people feel confident in their communication and also to get rid of their fear or any kind of awkwardness while communicating with others. Five LDR sensors are used in such a way that each LDR sensor is fixed at the tip of glove finger. The gesture of the hand plays a vital role. The micro-controller decodes the gestures. The words which are fed are measured using each particular gesture (i.e., making entirely different finger positions) of LDR sensors. The system analyzes those gestures and synthesizes the display the message for common people to recognize. In this system, hand gloves are used through which the hand gestures are measured directly and accurately.

Existe sobrada información sobre los riesgos de contaminación con este metal pesado, particularmente en humedales, y su impacto negativo sobre la salud de las aves silvestres, el ambiente y el hombre. Para remediar esta situación, en muchos países se sustituyó el plomo por materiales no tóxicos en las municiones usadas en la caza deportiva, acciones que con el tiempo fueron comprobadamente efectivas. Si bien el conocimiento global acumulado sobre la contaminación ambiental con plomo data del siglo XIX, esta problemática no había sido evaluada en Argentina pese a la existencia de humedales de relevancia en cuanto a su biodiversidad y en los cuales las prácticas cinegéticas con municiones de plomo son intensas. Recientemente Argentina se sumó a la larga lista de países que han reportado este problema, repitiendo un escenario conocido en otros lugares del mundo. Ahora los esfuerzos deberán enfocarse también en repetir las soluciones.

El conocimiento sobre la reproducción del Burrito Negruzco (Porzana spiloptera) es escaso. En este trabajo se describe el pichón de esta especie, detallándose el patrón de coloración del pico, que es diagnóstico en Rallidae. Se compara este carácter con el de otras especies de burritos pequeños, en particular con Laterallus jamaicensis, que posee vocalizaciones muy similares. Se descarta la posibilidad de que un espécimen de pichón de Rallidae sin asignación de especie depositado en el Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales “Bernardino Rivadavia” corresponda a Porzana spiloptera.

Authors: Pagano Luis G. , Smith Paul , Bodrati Alejandro
Published: April 2023

Se presentan los primeros registros de Catharus fuscescens en Argentina y el segundo registro documentado en Paraguay. Todas las detecciones fueron obtenidas entre la última semana de octubre y la primera semana de noviembre de 2010, en el Parque Provincial Cruce Caballero (Misiones, Argentina) y en el Parque Nacional Teniente Enciso (Boquerón, Paraguay). Se discuten algunos registros efectuados en países limítrofes y los caracteres clave que permiten identificar a la especie en el campo. La aparición de estos individuos en Misiones en 2010 correspondería a un paso migratorio que parece no repetirse todos los años. Se propone el nombre común Zorzalito Colorado.

Published: April 2023

As part of this study, we investigated the anti-cancer properties of Cassia auriculata bark extracted with different solvents and identified phytochemicals by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).The petroleum benzine and ethanol extracts contained high levels of terpenoids, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, flavonoids, and steroids. This study involved docking a selection of inhibitor proteins against cervical and colorectal cancers. Computer-aided drug design using virtual screening has been used to investigate the effectiveness of existing anti-cancer drugs in Colon (5FGK) and Cervical (4J96) Cancer Cell Line’s Proteins.  The analysis of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity of repurposed drugs used Molinspiration cheminformatics, while analysis of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity was performed by ADMET and pkCSM webservers.
