Aktuelnost razlikovanja prava na naknadu štete i prava na osiguranu sumu u delu Mihaila Konstantinovića: klasični instituti i moderno pravo osiguranja
Authors: Petrović Tomić Nataša
Published: December 2022

Author arguments that the distinction between the right to compensation for damage and the right to the insured amount originates from the work of Mihailo Konstantinović. Although the Draft Law on Obligations and Contracts does not regulate all types of insurance, Konstantinović has clearly and precisely stated that “the insured amount received by the insured party from the insurance company does not replace compensation for damage to which the party is entitled, according to the general rules on compensation for damage.” This wording has not lost its relevance today. Conversely, it is more relevant than ever. Based on the work of Mihailo Konstantinović, the author presents the argument that the Serbian regulatory framework is a limiting factor to the development of the insurance market. A favorable legal framework does not limit insurance according to the type of insurance, but recognizes the type of coverage and the nature of contracted obligation.

Objectives: To show how to prevent puerperal endometritis. Methodology: This is an integrative literature review with a descriptive and exploratory approach, carried out from October 2022 to December 2022 based on a bibliographic survey in the scientific databases of virtual health libraries: Latin American Literature and Caribbean Health Sciences (LILACS), Nursing Database (BDENF) and International Health Sciences Literature (MEDLINE). Thus, a thorough reading of the titles and abstracts was carried out, highlighting 15 studies, and after reading them in full, 7 articles were chosen to compose the final sample. Results and Discussion: From the analysis of the literature, it was evidenced that cesarean delivery is the main factor for triggering puerperal infections and that, through all the pre-existing risk factors, preventive measures must be adopted by the entire team multidisciplinary approach, antiseptic techniques must be performed correctly, adherence to humanized childbirth is paramount and must be advocated as an essential factor, hand washing, ongoing education for the health team, use of sterile materials and the use of Individual Protection are forms of prevention that will minimize the risks of Puerperal Infections in all their pre-delivery, intraoperative and postoperative phases. Final Considerations: The study showed that the nursing professional can provide important assistance for the prevention of Puerperal Infections, and that the multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary team of collaborators must act systematically in the process of reporting any adverse event. And that a set of actions performed correctly and effectively can prevent cases of Puerperal Infections.

Clays (especially bentonite) are widely used as barriers in landfills to prevent contamination of subsoil and groundwater by leachate containing heavy metals or toxic organics. However, the future application of bentonite nanomaterials is still limited due to complicated and expensive preparation process requiring several steps, toxic chemical agents, or additional surfactants. In this study, a green approach was proposed to produce bentonite nanoplatelets by an ultrasound-assisted liquid-phase exfoliation method using natural clay minerals containing bentonite as a precursor. The materials were then characterized by SEM, BET, AFM and XRD. The produced material was used to remove methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution by batch adsorption. Results showed that the bentonite nanoplatelets gave high adsorption ability with Langmuir maximum adsorption capacity of 312.50 mg/g, which could be a good adsorbent for removing dyes and other toxic organics in wastewater.
¿Es Lisbeth Salander un reflejo de don Quijote? Aproximación a un estudio comparativo
Authors: Ortega Román Juan José
Published: December 2022

Se hace en este artículo un estudio comparativo de dos de los protagonistas de novelas tan míticas y relevantes —cada una en su género y en su momento histórico— como Don Quijote de La Mancha, de Miguel de Cervantes, y Millennium, de Stieg Larsson. Nos referimos, obviamente, a don Quijote y Lisbeth Salander. Compararemos el ideal de justicia que mueve a ambos personajes, su estado de «locura» o su relación con la realidad, aunque también veremos que existen muchas más pequeñas similitudes, no por ello menos importantes, que los caracterizan y definen como personajes únicos en la Historia de la Literatura.
Islamic Solidarity on Sale: the Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict in the context of Azerbaijan’s Nation-Branding Endeavors

Published: December 2022

To reach their political goals, countries try to craft an image acceptable to the international community as reliable allies standing for similar values. Since its independence, Azerbaijan has been actively working on its branding as a country that bridges the West and the Islamic world. To do this, Azerbaijan creates its image as a secular, multicultural state and a leading state among Islamic countries with a firm support of Islamic solidarity. Positioning Azerbaijan as an advocate of Islamic solidarity, Ilham Aliyev then embarks on the next step of his plan to demand the Islamic world’s solidarity about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Thus, nation branding in the case of Azerbaijan is not only about creating an image of a possible investment place or touristic destination; official Baku “sells” its solidarity pursuing the political goal of getting the support of Islamic countries against Armenia․

Sukcesja urzędu biskupiego w nauczaniu Kościoła Rzymskokatolickiego i Kościoła Polskokatolickiego w RP z uwzględnieniem problemu biskupów wędrownych (episcopi vagantes)
Authors: Wawrzyńczak Ks. Szymon Krzysztof
Published: December 2022

The issue of apostolic succession is one of the subjects of ecumenical dialogue between the Roman Catholic Church and the Polish-Catholic Church in the Republic of Poland. Thanks to studies conducted in this area, it is possible to ascertain the preservation in the Polish-Catholic Church of the historical succession, originating through the Churches of the Union of Utrecht from the Roman Catholic Church. A difference, howewer, is the approach of the two communities to the succession of the episcopal ministry outside the community of the Church. The Old Catholic Churches, and hence the polish-catholics, do not recognise the validity of episcopal ordinations conferred outside the ecclesial community and without a specific mandate to confer them, even if the proper rite of conferral has been observed. The Roman Catholic Church, while regarding the conferral and reception of episcopal orders without papal nomination as giving rise to excommunication, nevertheless recognises their sacramental effect if the substance, form and proper intention of the conferral have been preserved.
“Il cuore spezzato”. La figura di Davide nell’analisi narrativa di 2 Sam 18:19-19:9
Authors: Stachera Damian
Published: December 2022

L’autore del Secondo libro di Samuele nel racconto del regno del re Davide non si limita a descrivere i fatti storici ma, attraverso vari espedienti narrativi e stilistici, permette al lettore di entrare nel mondo dei personaggi, delle loro interazioni, della loro interiorità. La narrazione di 2Sam 18:19-19:9 si distingue per i cambi dinamici di prospettiva e di azione, i lunghi momenti di complicazione, l’uso di diversi personaggi e l’ironia per rendere visibili le caratteristiche del protagonista. Di conseguenza, la storia di Davide che viene a sapere della morte di suo figlio Assalonne, è la storia di un uomo che affronta un conflitto interiore riguardo ai ruoli che la vita gli ha attribuito – padre e re. Questo conflitto spezza il cuore del leggendario re Davide, e allo stesso tempo rende il suo personaggio, preso da emozioni contrastanti, più vicino al lettore comune.
Regulation of the Voluntary Carbon Offset Market
Authors: Franki Nicole
Published: December 2022

Carbon offsets are often emphasized as effective and easily accessible tools in the effort to mitigate the looming threat of climate change. Offsets can be a useful bridge mechanism to allow industries with processes that are emission-heavy to purchase carbon reductions elsewhere as cleaner technologies develop. But the current use of offsets as a primary tool for corporations to meet their emissions reductions goals, or for consumers to reduce their individual carbon footprints, will not be sufficient to meet climate change mitigation goals. This Note will examine two major issues with the voluntary offset system. First, there is no centralized regulatory system for carbon offsets. Second, set within the larger neoliberal framework of market-based climate solutions, carbon offsets do not promote the more aggressive policies that are needed to mitigate the disastrous effects of the climate emergency. Carbon offsets are a mechanism that place responsibility on individuals and the market, when there must be unified state and private action. This article will also explore some of the proposed legal and regulatory strategies to strengthen government regulation of the voluntary offset market.

Metode yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah kualitatif deskriftif dengan melakukan wawancara dan observasi pada 2 (dua) kantor yang berada dalam lingkup Kementerian Keuangan yaitu Kantor Pelayanan Pajak (KPP) Pratama Bantaeng dan KPP Pratama Makassar Selatan. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa penerapan open workspace pada instansi pemerintahan dalam hal ini KKP Pratama Bantaeng dan KKP Pratama Makassar Selatan sudah diterapkan, namun dilakukan secara bertahap. Perubahan ruang kerja pada lokus penelitian telah membawa dampak positif terhadap lingkungan kerja bagi pegawai seperti terciptanya suasana yang lebih komunikatif sehingga menciptakan ruang-ruang diskusi untuk menghasilkan ide-ide baru, pemecahan masalah lebih cepat teratasi, kerjasama dan sinergitas pegawai dalam menjalankan tugas semakin erat. Sehingga pada dasarnya open workspace pada instasi pemerintahan bisa saja dilakukan sebagaimana halnya di perusahaan swasta namun beberapa kendala yang dihadapi antara lain kebijakan dan keterbatasan anggaran yang tidak semudah di perusahaan swasta.
Women Entrepreneurship and Self-Reliant India; A Case Study of Barak Valley in Assam
Authors: Kar Tapa , Roy Niranjan
Published: December 2022

The developmental goals of the nation and campaigns such as Atmanirbhar Bharat depends largely upon the increasing participation of women into economic activities in general, and as women entrepreneurs in particular, since, the female population of India is almost half of the total. Today the role of Women entrepreneur in economic development is inevitable because women are entering not only in selected professions but also in professions like trade, industry and engineering. Likewise, in the era of globalization, women in both the rural and urban areas of Barak Valley are also coming forward to establish themselves as entrepreneurs particularly owned enterprises on a small scale. Though women entrepreneurship is taking its root in the region, yet the present status is not satisfactory due to several factors. In order to promote women entrepreneurship, the different remedial measures have to be made at different levels of the economy. Hence, if India wants to attain the self-reliant tag in a true sense, the most viable option is to empower women economically through creating congenial opportunities for women entrepreneurs and to integrate them with the developmental goals of the nation and campaigns such as Atmanirbhar Bharat.

Women’s Empowerment for Peasant Women`s Groups
Authors: Gusti Ririn , Putra Ari , Dlofiroh Jihan Muthiah
Published: December 2022

The Peasant Women's Group is an organization that functions as a vehicle for counseling and driving the activities of its members. Non-formally bound farmer groups are formed based on shared interests and environmental conditions to improve and develop member businesses. The existence of women's empowerment through farmer groups has a social impact on peasant women. The process of empowering women through non-formal education programs must begin with the awareness of the target community. The awareness step is intended to enable people to identify needs and formulate learning or life goals. What is apparent is that the role of women extends not only as labor in farming activities but they act as decision-makers on the use of means of production and the technology used in farming activities. Insights develop because of the input of fellow group members, from the experiences of successful people presented by the group as speakers in an extension and training activity and the active role of extension workers providing information about a technological innovation that makes it easier for women to adopt technology in agricultural business.

Authors: Munfariqoh Aqidatul , Wardani Sri , Oktarina Nina
Published: December 2022

In the learning activities of the fourth-grade students at SDN Mangunharjo, they had difficulty understanding learning material, especially fractional material. According to the results of interviews with the fourth-grade teacher, students experienced problems understanding multiplication resulting in learning outcomes under KKM 65. This research aimed to analyze the effectiveness of implementing the PMRI approach to optimizing the results of learning fraction material for class IV students at SDN Mangunharjo. The research method used is a quantitative method with a pre-experimental research design in the form of a one-group-pretest-posttest. Implementation of the PMRI approach with an initial trial of class V at SDN Kemijen 02 with as many as 28 students and a final tryout for class IV at SDN Kemijen 02 as the control class and class IV at SDN Mangunharjo as an experimental class. Techniques and data collection include questionnaires, observations, test questions, and documentation tested for validity, reliability, homogeneity, level of difficulty, and discriminatory power. Based on observations from observers, it showed that the implementation of the PMRI approach in the learning process from the second meeting was 88.75, and the third meeting increased by 91.75 these results were in the very good category. While the results of the posttest class classical completeness test were 82.93 out of 29 students with a percentage of 83%, for the pretest class 42.72 with a percentage of 0% of 29 students, none of the students achieved the minimum completeness criterion score. This data shows that the class with the learning process using the PMRI approach is better than the conventional or lecture learning process. It means that applying the PMRI approach can optimize the learning outcomes of fourth-grade students at SDN Mangunharjo.

Effect of Cutting Parameters on Surface Roughness in Dry Machining of S45C Steel Using Carbide Tools
Authors: Napid Suhardi , R. Harahap Muksin , Haris Nasution Abdul
Published: December 2022

Wet machining is still carried out in the metal cutting industry today; machining experts continue to work to reduce the use of coolant so that benefits for the environment, economy and operator safety can be obtained. The research aims to obtain cutting conditions which have a good chance of realizing the concept of dry machining on S45C steel regarding surface roughness. The research was carried out using 9 specimens by statics method with a normal distribution curve where S45C steel turning using uncoated carbide chisels was carried out on dry machining and wet machining. Machine spindle rotation of 700 rpm, 1000 rpm and 1300 rpm can be converted in the amount of cutting speed, then for infeed 0.15 mm/r, 0.2 mm/r, 0.25 mm/r and the depth of cut remains 1 mm. Machining S45C steel is selected for optimum cutting conditions on wet and dry machining. Machined surface roughness was tested using the Surface Test measuring instrument. The surface roughness obtained for dry machining was 1.602 µm, 1.667 µm and 2.041 µm for dry machining while for wet machining the results were 1.521 µm, 1.593 µm respectively and 1.915 µm. So, the most optimum cutting is obtained in cutting conditions with a cutting speed of 87.92 m/min at 700 rpm machine spindle rotation with Ra = 1.602 µm for dry machining while wet machining obtains a surface roughness value of Ra = 1.521 µm on wet machining. Comparison of the results of dry machining (Ra= 1.602 µm) and wet machining (Ra= 1.521 µm) to obtain the optimum surface roughness value Ra is not significant, so it is a good opportunity for the possibility of a dry machining technology to be applied to the metal cutting industry even though today many still use the wet machining method of turning using a cutting fluid to cut metal.

I further discuss my own observations from the extensive training programme with regard to implications of ELF aware teacher education and pedagogy and present the essential ingredients of what I call the “ELF state of mind”.
ELF Communication: From Pedagogical Catalyst to ELT Game Changer
Authors: KOHN Kurt
Published: December 2022

Raising speaker-learners’ and their teachers’ awareness of the possibilities and challenges of authentic ELF communication is a powerful catalyst in the process of understanding what it means to be out in the wild. But where do they turn for orientation when it comes to their own spoken and written productions? From a social constructivist perspective, I argue that ELT’s standard native speaker orientation is not the problem. Rather, what counts is what speaker-learners are allowed and encouraged to do with it. Against this backdrop, I propose a pedagogical lingua franca approach that moves ELF communication from a position outside ELT to a game changer position inside ELT and helps learners develop their own voice as emancipated non-native speakers of English.
Unveiling Teachers’ Personal Responses to Innovation
Authors: LOPRİORE Lucilla , CANNELLİ Alessandra , FİASCO Valeria , SPERTİ Silvia
Published: December 2022

When awareness of the current plurality of English and of its implications for teaching is raised in teacher education courses, this perspective will afterwards emerge in teachers’ classrooms. Teachers’ ELF awareness was enhanced in the ENRICH course through reflective activities and in the forum where teachers shared personal views and beliefs about language learning and teaching within an ELF aware approach. In order to investigate the changes occurring during the course, a specific lens was used to analyze a group of participant teachers’ shift in perspective through their interventions when responding to reflective activities. A corpus-based discourse analysis of teachers’ language unveiled their positioning in terms of both their agency and their sense-making in a process of change.

The study is based about comparison of civil-military regimes (1999-2018). The main objective of the study is to explore the educational reforms/policies and analyze the internal / eternal factors related to failure of educational system in Pakistan. Education plays a usually role in the advancement and protection of National Identity. However, being ideological state the Western countries considered Pakistan nurturing anti west approaches amongst a few Muslim countries. They claimed that Muslim countries included Pakistan majority of children getting Madaris education, where they produced extremists, fundamentalists and Islamic Jehadists. The radicalization concept was converted into technical education through Education Sector Reforms (ESR) 2002, education for all.  This article sheds light on the educational reforms/policy of civil-military governance regimes 1999-2018 of Pakistan with a major focus education for all, introducing technical education and Madaris reforms to achieve 80% literacy rate. These education sector reforms did not fruitful due to involvement of bureaucrats for making policies and ignored educationist in the relevant field specialists.  After 2010, the 18th amendment in the 1973 constitution of Pakistan the slogan of civilian governance compulsory education for the children from ages five to sixteen (free education for all). Here millions of children still have not registered in education to achieve the target. There are so many other flops like religious factors and sectarian violence. Through 18th Amendment the school education is the subject of provincial matter.

Published: December 2022

A preliminary study was undertaken in Ichhamati river, Bongaon, N-24 Parganas, West Bengal to evaluate the impact of idol immersion after Durga puja on water quality parameters. Different important physico-chemical parameters were considered for this study as temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), pH, nitrate, phosphate, silicate and phytoplankton, as well as zooplankton community structure. Dissolved oxygen (DO) showed an inverse relation with pH showing the maximum (5.68) and minimum (2.3) values during and after immersion, respectively. During the immersion time, the turbidity and nutrient readings were much higher, indicating a high pollution level. During the whole study period, There was no perceptible difference in temperature. During immersion, the plankton population displayed maximum abundance and little variety, characterised primarily by one or two species that thrived in dirty water. Overall diversity was found to be highest prior to immersion and steadily deteriorated after immersion. The study clearly demonstrates the negative effects of religious activity on the river, and the essential actions should be properly followed in accordance with government requirements.

Background: Ascites are pathological conditions characterized by the accumulation of fluids in the peritoneal cavity. Ascites are among the most common complications of different diseases in pediatrics, such as renal diseases, cardiac diseases, and hepatic diseases. The pediatric group is considered a vulnerable category needing special care, so assessing the management of ascites in pediatrics needs to be addressed.

Aim: The study was conducted to assess ascites' management in pediatrics in Jafar Ibn Auf pediatric hospital.

Methods: A descriptive retrospective study was conducted at Jafar Ibn Auf pediatric hospital, Khartoum, Sudan. All medical files of pediatrics with ascites from 1 month to 18 years old during the period between 2017-2020 were included. Data were collected from file records using a predesigned data collection sheet and analyzed using the statistical package for the social sciences (SPSS) version 23.

Results: A total of 143 medical records were included in this study. The majority of the group were males. The most affected patients were within the age group of ˂ 6 years old. Grade I was the most common presentation. Hepatic diseases and gastrointestinal diseases were the main etiological factors for ascites and represented in 62.2% and 15.4%, respectively. Regarding ascites management, the most frequent method of managing ascites used was medications with liver support. Moreover, 63.2% of the patients were treated by combining spironolactone with furosemide. Out of the 143 patients, 92.3% of patients were discharged from the hospital, while the remaining were referred to other hospitals. Statistically, there was a strong association between the grade of ascites, management of ascites, and the patient's discharge (P = 0.001).

Conclusion: The results showed that liver diseases were the most common etiological cause of ascites in pediatrics. The majority of patients were treated properly managed in term of dose, and the combination of spironolactone and furosemide were the most frequently used medications in this study. The proper diagnosis and appropriate management of ascites is critical to prevent related morbidity and mortality in pediatrics.

This study aims to formulate and evaluate moisture protective coat for tablets using natural polymers of Fenugreek seeds and okra fruits in different concentrations compared with synthetic moisture protective coat. Ethanolic extracts of fenugreek and okra were treated with acetone as solvent for isolation of the mucilage, which is then dried and powders obtained identified and tested for polysaccharides using Molisch's reagent, Barofoead, KOH, Fehling reagent. The physicochemical tests including pH, viscosity, moisture content, percentage yield and swelling index were also carried out. Two formulations of 150 mg Silica gel tablets weighing 300mg and 500mg using PVP, magnesium stearate and Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) as excipients were prepared and the powder mixture of flow ability was evaluated by measuring Carr's index, Hausener ratio and Angle of repose. The compressed tablets were evaluated according to USP monograph by testing the physical test of both tablets. Two coating materials were prepared and evaluated using natural polymers in different concentration 5%w/w and 10%w/w. The coated tablets with natural and synthetic polymers were compared by observing weight and moisture change of tablets pre and after stability study for 2 weeks in stress conditions at temperature (500 C) and RH 75 %. All the identification tests were positive indicating the presence of polysaccharides. Also, the physicochemical parameters tested were within the acceptable limits. Both fenugreek and okra mucilage's as polymers in low concentration 5%w/w revealed much better results regardless of weight of tablets. Coat defects were observed in tablets coated with 10%w/w of the polymers. The standard film coating polymer showed better moisture protection as moisture content about 4%. coating materials were successfully prepared and evaluated as moisture protective coat of silica gel tablets. Optimum coating formulations were found at 5%w/w concentration for mucilage's of both fenugreek and okra.

台灣自5月新冠疫情爆發以來，民眾陸續接種疫苗；但隨之而來的疫苗副作用患者湧現全台急診室；其中，腦靜脈竇栓塞為新冠疫苗引起的免疫血栓性血小板低下症之一，少見但發生在育齡女性最多。這篇研究主要參考國外文獻，如何診斷及治療疫苗後腦靜脈竇栓塞，建立簡潔明瞭流程圖。研究發現，AZ疫苗產生免疫血栓性血小板低下症為最多，發生時間為疫苗後5-24天內；腦靜脈竇栓塞占此病症多數，以小於60歲的女性患病為大宗。診斷以臨床症狀及影像為主，病患會出現頭痛、神經學異常甚至癲癇；最精確的影像診斷為核磁共振靜脈造影。抗凝血劑的治療降低靜脈血流壓力進而減少腦出血機率，改善病人預後。如果病人打完疫苗1個月內，出現嚴重頭痛、神經學異常，合併血小板下降、D-dimer上升，佐以影像學診斷；診斷後給予新型口服抗凝血劑或是進一步以血栓溶解術治療。

 

Background and Purpose: Since COVID-19 pandemic outbreaks on May in Taiwan this year, people have received vaccination in succession. However, patients suffered from side effects flocked to emergent department. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST), one of Vaccine Induced Immune Thrombotic Thrombocytope-nia(VITT),is a rare form of cerebrovascular disease that typically affects young women of childbearing age. This article is aimed to summarize flow chart for diagno-sis and treatment of CVST to help patients in ED. Methods: We use key words” COVID-19 Vaccine” and “Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis” in PubMed and total 49 full text papers in recent 5 years, which we concluded the diagnosis and treatment and finally 21 papers as reference for this article. Results: VITT occurs at a 4-fold higher frequency with AstraZeneca vaccine. The most common thrombotic event as-sociated with VITT is CVST. The diagnosis of CVST is typically based on clinical suspicion and imaging confirmation. Magnetic resonance venogram (MRV) is the most preferred diagnostic modality for CVST. Patients have a favorable clinical outcome with anticoagulant therapy. Conclusions: Patient appeared severe headache, neurological deficit within 1 month after vaccination added to decreased platelet count ,elevated D-dimer. Image test can confirm the diagnosis. New oral anticoagu-lants (NOACs), endovascular thrombolysis are choices of treatment.

 
或能以質子密度脂肪抑制核磁共振影像早期發現與地諾單抗相關連非典型股骨骨折之前驅骨髓水腫：一則案例報告

背景和目的：非典型股骨骨折(AFF)為長期以抗骨吸收藥物治療骨質疏鬆相關的嚴重不良事件。過往文章多報導與AFF發生前長期使用雙膦酸鹽相關的前驅髖痛；前驅期亦可以MRI證明骨髓水腫。然地諾單抗是一種生物抗骨吸收劑；其與AFF前驅之相關特色尚未被明確描述。方法：本報告回顧分析一例68歲家庭主婦長期使用地諾單抗後發生AFF的病歷；雙膦酸鹽未開立處方亦未曾使用。結果：本例展示長期使用地諾單抗可於AFF前驅期發生骨髓水腫；此篇記錄從開始使用到發生AFF及其後續之臨床過程。結論：本病例報告強調早期發現並及時調整用藥的重要。儘管患者因缺乏預防而經歷AFF，本報告目的是提高認識；通過及時調整藥物應能預防AFF。

 

Background and Purpose: Atypical femoral fracture (AFF) is a severe adverse event associated with long-term use of antiresorptive agent for pharmacological treatment of osteoporosis. Many previously published articles had reported prodromal hip pain associated with long-term use of bisphosphonates before occurrence of AFF; additionally, bone marrow edema might also be demonstrated using MRI during the prodromal phase. However, denosumab, a biological antiresorptive agent, is not yet as well characterized regarding its association with prodromal phase of AFF. Methods: This report retrospectively reviewed a case of 68-year-old housewife experiencing AFF after long-term use of denosumab; bisphosphonates were never prescribed and were never used. Results: This is a case to demonstrate that bone marrow edema can occur during the prodromal phase of AFF with long-term use of denosumab; clinical course from the start of its usage until occurrence of AFF and its sequela were cap-tured. Conclusion: In this case report, crucial importance of early detection along with timely adjustment of medication is emphasized. Although the patient reported had experienced AFF due to lack of prevention, the purpose of this case report is to raise the awareness that AFF can be prevented with timely adjustment of medications.

 
Eyes Instead of Ears: Eye Injuries Following Ocular Exposure to Otic Medications

To determine the epidemiology of ocular exposures and toxicoses in dogs and cats from otic products, 79 dog and cat cases with an ocular exposure to a topical otic medication were retrieved from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Animal Poison Control Center database. Prescription products were involved in 75/79 (95%) of cases, and over-the-counter products in 4 (5%). Clinical signs included conjunctivitis, blepharospasm, epiphora, ocular discharge, and corneal ulceration. Medication error, specifically involving mistaken identification (i.e., an otic product confused with an ophthalmic product), occurred in 68/79 (86%) of cases. In 4 of these 68 cases, an otic instead of an ophthalmic medication was mistakenly dispensed to the pet owner. Unintentional delivery (i.e., accidental ocular exposure in the course of an otic application) occurred in 9/79 (11%) of cases, and 2 (3%) cases involved intentional delivery of otic products to the eyes. Because mistaken identification was the most common cause of ocular toxicoses from otic products, separate storage and/or distinctive packaging for ophthalmic versus otic products could reduce medication errors. Animal poison control center epidemiological data can be used as a source of information regarding veterinary medication errors.
Precipitation as a Possible Risk Factor for Development of Lyme Nephritis in Dogs
Authors: Carney Patrick C.
Published: December 2022

To determine whether increased precipitation in the months before diagnosis is predictive of Lyme nephritis in dogs, a symmetrical bidirectional case-crossover study was performed on 87 dogs with presumptive Lyme nephritis. Cases were geographically linked to the nearest precipitation monitoring station, and monthly total precipitation for the 4 mo preceding diagnosis was compared to monthly total precipitation 1 yr before and 1 yr after. Breeds affected included Labrador retrievers (n = 31), mixed-breed dogs (n = 19), and golden retrievers (n = 10), with a possible seasonal bimodal peak in spring and fall. In age-adjusted analysis, each additional inch of precipitation 3 mo before diagnosis was associated with an increase in the odds of developing Lyme nephritis (odds ratio 1.13, 95% confidence interval 1.01–1.25). The results suggest that increased precipitation is a possible risk factor for Lyme nephritis in dogs. These findings may provide useful information for the accurate diagnosis of dogs with protein-losing nephropathy and may guide future studies of risk factors for Lyme nephritis. The methodology employed here reinforces the concept that case-crossover designs have utility beyond acute exposures and outcomes and offer an attractive alternative for studies in companion animals.
TÜRKİYE’DE MUHAFAZAKAR MEDYADA GÖRÜLEN YOĞUNLAŞMA BAĞLAMINDA ALBAYRAK MEDYA GRUBU ÖRNEĞİ

1945 sonrasında Keynesçi anlayışla kurulan ve refah devleti politikaları çerçevesinde oluşturulan kapitalist yapının 1960'ların sonu itibariyle sorunlar yaşamaya başlaması, ABD ve İngiltere’de Keynesçi politikaların sorgulanmasını gündeme getirerek, yeni bir ekonomik modelin ikamesiyle sonuçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda, Batı Avrupa’da ve komünist SSCB’nin etkisi dışında kalan birçok ülkede neoliberal ekonomi diye tabir edilen politikalar etkili ol-maya başlamıştır. 1980’lerden itibaren Türkiye’de bu politikalar doğrultusunda hareket eden ülkeler arasında yer alacaktır. 24 Ocak 1980’de alınan kararlarla liberal ekonomik modele geçiş yapan Türkiye’de değişen sadece ekonomik alan olmamış siyasal ve toplumsal alanda birçok değişim ve dönüşümler yaşanmıştır. Bu dönüşümden en çok etkilen alanlardan birisi de medya olmuştur. Teknolojinin gelişimi, artan maliyetler ve devlet desteklerinin sınırlandırılması gibi sebepler Türkiye’de medya sektörünü hızlı bir şekilde holdingleşme sürecine sokmuştur. Bu değişim muhafazakâr hassasiyetleri ön planda tutan, medya kuruluşlarında da kendisini gösterecektir. Bu bağlamda muhafazakâr medya kesiminde hızlanan yoğunlaşma eğilimlerinde en göze çarpan aktörlerden birisi Albayrak Holding olmuştur. 1995 yılında muhafazakâr çevrelerce kurulan ve yayın hayatına başlayan Yeni Şafak Gazetesi’ni 1998’de satın alarak medya sektörüne giren Grup, daha sonra bu alanda genişlemeye devam etmiştir.
