The main objective of this study is to examine the relationship between Syrian refugees and local residents who have migrated to Siirt city and have temporary protection status in the city, to determine the level of the relationship between asylum seekers and residents, and to reveal where they are at in terms of integration. Although integration may seem like a unilateral process, it is actually a phenomenon shaped by the mutual efforts of both local people and asylum seekers. Siirt, which is the subject of the research, is located in the Tigris Section of the SoutheastErn Anatolia Region. In general, the research area is located between the plateau area in the SoutheastErn Anatolia Region and the mountainous area in the Eastern Anatolia Region. The face measurement of Siirt province is approximately 284 km² In its most general sense, migration can be defined as mandatory or voluntary relocation or spatial mobility processes carried out by individuals and societies for political, natural, economic, social, ethnic and religious reasons. Migration is a phenomenon that, beyond a unilateral process of spatial change, has multifaceted repercussions in the socio-spatial fabric due to economic and cultural interaction, changes in social statuses and its consequences. With the spread of the uprisings/social events that began as the Arab Spring to Syria, Turkey met the first group of migrants from Syria in April 2011 and the number of asylum seekers arriving in Turkey from Syria has continued to increase since then. Especially in border cities, centers were set up to house asylum seekers and migrants were kept there in the first place. However, Syrian refugees are now scattered throughout Turkey.

Abstract The study presents the results of current research in the field of political participation of women in Afghanistan in the context of the challenges they faced during their participation in political process in the last twenty years resulting ongoing situation with the transition of regime once again in the hands of the Taliban. In particular, it deals with different strategies how to remove these barriers for the future empowerment of Afghan women in politics. This study, attempted to examine the barriers to women's participation in political processes (presidential elections, parliamentary elections, provincial election, councils’ elections, and peace process), which has been analyzed based on qualitative methods utilizing secondary sources. The result shows that all the basic challenges in the context of women’s political participation are most notably in cultural, historical, and ideological problems of Afghanistan. The current conditions of women in Afghanistan contribute to tribal culture and clan-centric life patterns, characterized by patriarchy, and centered on manhood. Other challenges such as economic dependence, gender gaps, security and hundreds of other challenges also exist but political culture is the root to all challenges to Afghan women’s political participation. In order to remove barriers to women's political participation, in addition to the support and pressure of the international community, women themselves must first change their views, and then society and the Afghan government must fulfill their obligations to the political position of women.

Published: January 2022

This study estimated the survival, growth, and fry production of red tilapia (Oreochromis urolepis hornorum ♀× Oreochromis mossambicus ♂) broodstock in outdoors farming conditions at various salinity levels (1‰, 25‰, 33‰, 39‰, and 42‰) at 25.3°C–39.0°C. The experiments were conducted in triplicates in 2020 using 300 broodstock per group. The survival rate, growth performance, and fry production were monitored. Our results showed that red tilapia fry production and grow-out farming were feasible under high salinity conditions; however, the various levels of salinity condition exhibited significant differences in terms of survival rate, growth performance, fry production. The results suggest that red tilapia broodstock was maintained under salinity as high as 33‰ without impairing fry production; above 33‰ was feasible for the grow-out stage, implying that the fry production in euryhaline tilapia farming would be practical in regions where freshwater acclimation is limited.

The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is one of mankind’s oldest cultivated plants. A date palm fruit is an important component of the diet in most of the hot arid and semi-arid regions of the world. The Present study aimed at investigating two heavy metals (lead, Pb) and (cadmium, Cd) as mg/kg in three date palm cultivars cultivated in Sudan (Gondalia, Barakawi and Kulma). The results showed insignificant (p ≥ 0.05) concentration of the two heavy metals (cadmium and lead) between the various cultivars in the four local market (sites) (Libya, Bahri, Soug Sitta and workshop). Cadmium concentration was ranged from (0.006 - 0.043 mg/kg) and lead (0.02 - 0.029 mg/kg) for all cultivars at the four locations. Although most of the cultivars had comparable concentration of cadmium, workshop showed the highest (0.043 mg/kg) cadmium. Soug Sitta showed the highest levels of lead (0.029 mg/kg) among the other four locations. Results revealed that that cadmium concentrations of the study at low concentrations if compared with limit of CODEX ALIMENTARIUS COMMISSION (2011) inverse to lead concentration.

Published: January 2022

Granulosa tumors account for approximately 2-3% of ovarian tumors. They are the most frequent malignant tumors in the group of sexual cord and stromal tumors. They are mostly localized forms with a good prognosis. The main prognostic factor is the stage, with a high risk of recurrence when the tumor is of stage IB or higher. Recurrences are sometimes very late (more than 20 years after the initial treatment) and surveillance must be prolonged. We report a case of adult granulosa tumor in a 70-year-old patient, married nulligest, menopausal for 15 years, whose reason for consultation was spontaneous postmenopausal metrorrhagia associated with pelvic pain evolving for 1 year and whose pelvic imaging was in favor of a large suspicious solid-cystic formation measuring 20x12x9cm. A total hysterectomy with bilateral adnexectomy completed with multiple ascites fluid samples, epiploic and peritoneal biopsy was performed and found to be an adult granulosa tumor classified as IC1. No adjuvant treatment was proposed and the immediate evolution was favorable. Through this case we will study the clinical presentation, the characteristics, the modalities of treatment as well as the prognosis of this rare entity.

Published: January 2022

Shale gas is natural gas that is found trapped within a typical sedimentary rock derived from clastic sources which is known as shale. The combination of two advanced technologies (horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing) has helped to access to a large volumes of shale gas that was previously not producible. In this paper, the performance of CO2 injection and CH4 recovery in shale gas reservoirs is evaluated. The study reveals that it is a complex function a several parameters such as CO2 injection time, soaking time, injection volume, reservoir permeability, reservoir porosity, and thickness. Numerical simulation is performed to model CO2 huff-n-puff process and multicomponent Langmuir isotherms in the Barnett Shale formation; two horizontal wells are performed for this case. Results show that CO2-EGR is very efficient for shale gas and a recovery factor of 82.6% can be obtained by this process. Besides, an analytical study is done in order to facilitate the estimation of recovery factor based on critical parameters obtained from simulation. A comparison study of the observed data from simulation and the estimated date from some production decline models such as LGA (Logistic Growth Analysis) model, and Ali model is also performed in this study

Cushing’s syndrome diagnosis in childhood is a challenge, due to its atypical presentation. Primary Pigmented Nodular Adrenocortical Disease (PPNAD) is a rare cause of ACTH- independent Cushing’s Disease. We present the case of a four-year-old patient evaluated for Cushing’s Syndrome due to a rapid onset of obesity, pubarche and hirsutism with a characteristic phenotypic appearance. Initial biochemical examinations were compatible with ACTH- independent Cushing’s Syndrome, but imaging studies were confusing (pituitary MRI detected an image compatible with adenoma). The study was completed with tests which confirmed independence from ACTH and finally the patient underwent a bilateral adrenalectomy. The anatomopathological findings of adrenal glands confirmed the diagnosis. Replacement hormonal treatment was applied, leading to the progressive recovery of a normal phenotype

Economic and financial crime is based on three main pillars, namely the underground economy, corruption and money laundering. Corruption seen as a central element of the phenomenon called economic and financial crime is likely to seriously distort the health of the economic environment in a state, altering democratic governance and the rule of law, in fact a real threat to economic development on the principles of market economy. In the following we will refer to theoretical approaches of the literature on the phenomenon of corruption, revealing a possible form of quantification, respectively how it affects the economic environment and the social implications associated with the manifestations of this phenomenon. We aim to perform a theoretical analysis of the corruption term, and then develop the study with the analysis of real implications in society. The research in question is intended to be a basis for understanding the phenomenon in correlation with the complexity of social implications, in order to subsequently propose concrete solutions to combat it, aiming to limit it and its adverse effects on the economy and society. The phenomenon of money laundering can be considered a reaction of the private environment to the fiscal strategy of the state. In this paper we have analyzed this phenomenon to reveal the methods and means used by different people to mask certain amounts of money of dubious origin, in order to reintegrate financial flows into legal economic circuits. The use of the methodology for investigating the specialized literature, followed by the analysis and synthesis of data, allowed us to identify the main implications of corruption in the economic and social ecosystem of the state, respectively the structuring of money laundering techniques and methods.

Published: January 2022

The main purpose of this article is to study the concept and aspects of tax avoidance and tax evasion, their causes, trends and effects in the European Union(EU). In recent years, the debate on international tax policy has focused on tax avoidance strategies and tax evasion. Cases of tax evasion and tax evasion have become increasingly common. These phenomena were triggered by several factors. Some of them relate to European principles such as those relating to the free movement of persons, goods and capital, which led to the diversification and complexity of trade, under conditions of imperfect legislation. Other factors are the social and economic ones generated by the onset of the economic crisis. Another set of factors that have been favorable circumstances for the development, the phenomenon of tax avoidance and tax evasion, are those related to the degree of taxation that differs from one-member country to another and different tax systems. This expansion of the phenomenon of tax avoidance and tax evasion generates negative effects on the European economy, which are making their mark on the economy. In this context, concerns have arisen at EU level to create a legislative framework to mitigate these phenomena. As these two phenomena (tax avoidance and tax evasion) cannot be completely eradicated, it is very important to find the most efficient measures to combat them. Another element specific to the European Union that generates tax evasion and tax avoidance is Value Added Tax (VAT). As with any tax, Value Added Tax presents opportunities for tax avoidance and evasion. European Union experts believe that tax avoidance and tax evasion are important factors limiting revenue mobilization. Tax evasion and tax avoidance affect us all. ese phenomena occur both within a country and within the European Union, but also globally. That is why one country cannot solve the problem alone. The European Union and the Member States must work more together and at international level to combat the problem in the country within the Union but also outside the borders of the European Union. Thus, in principle, legislators can affect the decisions of the subjects by defining the boundary between legality and illegality. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the trends and effects resulting from tax avoidance and tax evasion behavior.

A hipnose vem sendo cada vez mais indicada como adjuvante para o tratamento da dor, pois pode ter efeito analgésico e melhorar a qualidade de vida, principalmente quando se fala de pacientes com dor crônica. O objetivo do estudo foi comparar a melhora da qualidade de vida dos pacientes com dor crônica em uso de hipnoterapia em relação ao tratamento medicamentoso analgésico. A partir dos Descritores Controlados em Saúde em inglês "Chronic Pain", "Hypnosis", "Analgesia" e "Quality of Life" foi realizada uma busca seguindo o sistema PRISMA nas seguintes bases de dados: National Library of Medicine, Literatura Latino-americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, Portal da Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior, EBSCO HOST e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde. Utilizou-se o sistema GRADE para avaliar o nível de evidência dos artigos selecionados, sendo todos os cinco classificados com nível de evidência moderado. Tendo em vista resultados positivos da hipnose para diminuição da dor em pacientes com dores crônicas, conclui-se que a hipnoterapia, em comparação com o tratamento analgésico medicamentoso, tem efetividade em relação à melhora da qualidade de vida dos pacientes, além de haver uma diminuição dos níveis de ansiedade e de depressão dos grupos avaliados, no entanto ainda são escassos o número publicações acerca do tema em questão, havendo a necessidade de ampliar os estudos e elevar o nível de evidência das pesquisas.

Angiotensinogen - A Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Candidate Gene  for Adenocarcinomas of Rectum and Stomach
Authors: Usman Muhammad , Ahmad Mukhtiar , Tanveer Rida , Arshad Rizwan , Atif Muhammad , Hameed Yasir
Published: January 2022

The Angiotensinogen (AGT) gene encodes for angiotensinogen protein that mainly regulates blood pressure and maintains the fluid and salt balance in the body. AGT expression variations have been documented earlier in only a few subtypes of human cancers, the multi-omics profiling of AGT as a shared biomarker in different other subtypes of human cancers remains to be uncovered. In the current study, AGT multi-omics analysis in 24 major subtypes of human cancer were performed using different authentic online databases and bioinformatics analysis including UALCAN, Kaplan Meier (KM) plotter, Human protein Atlas (HPA), GENT2, MEXPRESS, cBioportal, STRING, DAVID, TIMER., and CTD database. AGT is found commonly up-regulated in most human cancers. Overexpression of AGT is significantly correlated with the poor overall survival (OS) of only rectum adenocarcinoma (READ) and Stomach Adenocarcinoma (STAD). This implies that AGT plays a significant role in the development and progression of these cancers. We further noticed that AGT is also overexpressed in READ and STAD patients of different clinicopathological features. Pathways enrichment analysis revealed that AGT is involved in various diverse pathways. While, a few interesting correlations were also documented between AGT expression and its promoter methylation level, CD8+ T immune cells level, and CNVs. Moreover, we also predicted a few drugs through gene-drug interaction analysis that could be used in the treatment of READ and STAD by regulating the AGT expression. Our findings suggest that AGT alone might be helpful in predicting the diagnosis and prognosis of READ and STAD patients commonly.
Neuropathologic damage induced by radiofrequency ablation at different temperatures – An Experimental Study
Authors: Su Li
Published: January 2022

Background and Objective: Radiofrequency ablation is a safe and less invasive technique that uses an electric current to damage nerve tissue to stop it from sending pain signals. This study was aimed to determine the molecular mechanism of neuropathologic damage induced by radiofrequency ablation at different temperatures.

Methods: A total of 36 Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were used as model with neuropathological injury. These rats were divided into 6 groups based on temperature stimulation at 42℃, 47℃, 52℃, 57℃, 62℃ and 67℃. Conduction time, distance and velocity were recorded after thermal injury. Hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining was used to observe the histopathological changes of sciatic nerve. Neural ion channel proteins such as Sodium voltage-gated channel alpha subunit 9 (SCN9A), Sodium channel B3 subunit (SCN3B) and Neurofascin (NFASC) expression  in sciatic nerve tissue was  detected by Western Blot.

Results: Nerve conduction velocity gradually decreased with the increase in temperature and neuronal damage was seen at 67℃. H& E staining showed increased degeneration of neurons with an increase in temperature from 47℃ to 67℃. SCN9A and SCN3B expression at 57℃, 62℃, and 67℃ was much higher however, NFASC expression was lower at the same temperatures.

Conclusion: Neuropathological damage caused by RFA at different temperatures shows   positive correlation with nerve conduction velocity. Heat transfer injury affects the expression of SCN9A, SCN3B and NFASC in sciatic nerve tissue.

Authors: Falah Sheikh Qais , Bashir Iram , Shams Asif , Marwat Arshad Ali , Alam Aftab
Published: January 2022

Background and Objective: Gastrostomy feeding is a well-established procedure for enteral feeding of patients having obstructive malignancy of head and neck (includes oral cavity, pharynx and larynx) and esophagus. This study aimed to assess the mortality and other complications associated with open surgical gastrostomy (OSG) performed under local anesthesia.

Methods:  Patients having cancer of head and neck and esophagus who underwent open surgical gastrostomy for feeding purposes at surgical unit, Mufti Mehmood Memorial Teaching Hospital (MMMTH), Dera Ismail Khan, Khyber Pukhtunkhwa from January 2013 till December 2019 were included in this study. The patients with lower esophageal cancer involving stomach were excluded from the study. The gastrostomy procedure was performed under local anesthesia. Patients were discharged on 4th to 6th postoperative day after feeding per gastrostomy was fully established. The patients were checked for any complications in ward and during follow up visits on 10th and 30th day postoperatively.

Results: This study was conducted on 30 consecutive patients fulfilling selection criteria. One patient died in the ward while one patient died after getting discharged in first 30 days postoperatively. Thus, the mortality rate was 6.66 % (n = 2). Regarding minor complications, two patients (6.66 %) had tube blockage, three (10 %) developed peri-catheter infection while the tube got dislodged in one patient (3.33 %).

Conclusion: Open surgical gastrostomy under local anesthesia is a safe and easy procedure with low rate of complications.

                                                               
Assessment of dietary intake, anthropometric measurements and hormonal levels in child bearing age women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Authors: Akram Shehla Javed , Qureshi Ejaz Mehmood
Published: January 2022

Background and Objective: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder among women of reproductive age. The prevalence of PCOS is higher among Pakistani women as they may have poor dietary habits. The objective of the study was to determine the dietary intake pattern, anthropometric measurement and hormonal levels in patients with PCOS.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 160 women presenting at the Gynecology and Obstetrics Department of Jinnah Hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. PCOS was assessed using Rotterdam criterion. For each woman, its demographical data, anthropometric measurements, hormonal as well as dietary intake were taken and comparison was made between the PCOS and healthy women.
Results: There was no significant difference between the mean of the age, weight, height and body mass index between the PCOS group and the healthy women. Hirsutism, acne, weight gain, and sleep disturbance over past one year were higher in PCOS group whereas change in bowel habits was significantly higher (p < 0.05) in healthy controls over a year as compared to PCOS. In hormonal analysis, luteinizing hormone and testosterone were significantly higher (p < 0.05) in PCOS group than the healthy women. In dietary analysis, fiber, ash, Zinc and Riboflavin were significantly found greater (p < 0.05) among healthy controls in comparison to woman suffering from PCOS.
Conclusion: PCOS characterized with increased body weight, hirsutism, acne, and sleep disturbance is common in our women. Furthermore, it significantly correlates to lower intake of Fe and fiber while higher intake of more caloric diet from carbohydrates and fats in their daily routine.
