An effective network intrusion detection and classification system for securing WSN using VGG-19 and hybrid deep neural network techniques
Authors: Manjula P. , Priya S. Baghavathi
Published: May 2022

In today’s world, a Network Intrusion Detection System (NIDS) plays a vital role in order to secure the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). However, the traditional NIDS model faced critical constraints with network traffic data due to growth in the complexity of modern attacks. These constraints have a direct impact on the overall performance of the WSN. In this paper, a new robust network intrusion classification framework based on the enhanced Visual Geometry Group (VGG-19) pre-trained model has been proposed to prolong the performance of WSN. Primarily, the pre-trained weights from the ImageNet dataset are utilized to train the parameters of the VGG-19. Afterward, a Hybrid Deep Neural Network based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) will be employed to extract the influential features from network traffic data to enlarge the intrusion detection accuracy. The proposed VGG-19 + Hybrid CNN-LSTM model exploits both binary classification and multi-classification to classify attacks as either normal or attacked. A network intrusion benchmark dataset is used to assess the performance of the suggested system. The results reveal that the proposed VGG-19 + Hybrid CNN-LSTM learning system surpasses other pre-trained models with a superior accuracy of 98.86% during the multi-classification test.
A Review on Response to Device-Aided Therapies Used in Monogenic Parkinsonism and GBA Variants Carriers: A Need for Guidelines and Comparative Studies
Authors: Salles Philippe A. , Liao James , Shuaib Umar , Mata Ignacio F. , Fernandez Hubert H.
Published: May 2022

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is in some cases predisposed-or-caused by genetic variants, contributing to the expression of different phenotypes. Regardless of etiology, as the disease progresses, motor fluctuations and/or levodopa-induced dyskinesias limit the benefit of pharmacotherapy. Device-aided therapies are good alternatives in advanced disease, including deep brain stimulation (DBS), levodopa-carbidopa intestinal gel, and continuous subcutaneous infusion of apomorphine. Candidate selection and timing are critical for the success of such therapies. Genetic screening in DBS cohorts has shown a higher proportion of mutation carriers than in general cohorts, suggesting that genetic factors may influence candidacy for advanced therapies. The response of monogenic PD to device therapies is not well established, and the contribution of genetic information to decision-making is still a matter of debate. The limited evidence regarding gene-dependent response to device-aided therapies is reviewed here. An accurate understanding of the adequacy and responses of different mutation carriers to device-aided therapies requires the development of specific studies with long-term monitoring.
Epidemiological Evidence for an Immune Component of Parkinson’s Disease
Authors: Gonzalez-Latapi Paulina , Marras Connie
Published: May 2022

There is a growing interest in the role the immune system and inflammatory response play on the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease (PD). Epidemiological evidence lends support for the hypothesis that PD is an immune-mediated condition. An association between inflammatory bowel disease, including Crohn’s and Ulcerative colitis, and the risk of PD has been described and replicated in several population-based cohorts. Other autoimmune conditions, such as Sjogren syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis, and rheumatoid arthritis also seem to be associated with an increased risk of PD. Immunosuppressant medications seem to be associated with a decreased risk of PD. Finally, variants in genes involved in immune system regulation are also shared between PD and autoimmune conditions. In this review, we will provide an overview of epidemiological evidence from population-based cohort studies, meta-analyses, and genome-wide association studies that analyze the association between the immune system and PD, discuss current gaps in the literature and future research directions in this field.

Bayes estimators of η along with highest posterior density (HPD) credible intervals based on informative and non-informative priors are also obtained. Symmetric as well as asymmetric loss functions are considered for the Bayesian estimation. Monte Carlo simulation study is carried out to check the performance of estimators. Real life data sets are considered for illustration purpose.
A novel model to enhance the data security in cloud environment
Authors: Verma Garima , Kanrar Soumen
Published: May 2022

Nowadays cloud computing has given a new paradigm of computing. Despite several benefits of cloud computing there is still a big challenge of ensuring confidentiality and integrity for sensitive information on the cloud. Therefore to address these challenges without loss of any sensitive information and privacy, we present a novel and robust model called ‘Enhanced Cloud Security using Hyper Elliptic Curve and Biometric’ (ECSHB). The model ECSHB ensures the preservation of data security, privacy, and authentication of data in a cloud environment. The proposed approach combines biometric and hyperelliptic curve cryptography (HECC) techniques to elevate the security of data accessing and resource preservations in the cloud. ECSHB provides a high level of security using less processing power, which will automatically reduce the overall cost. The efficacy of the ECSHB has been evaluated in the form of recognition rate, biometric similarity score, False Matching Ratio (FMR), and False NonMatching Ratio (FNMR). ECSHB has been validated using security threat model analysis in terms of confidentiality. The measure of collision attack, replay attack and non-repudiation is also considered in this work. The evidence of results is compared with some existing work, and the results obtained exhibit better performance in terms of data security and privacy in the cloud environment.

Published: May 2022

A survey is typically designed to produce reliable estimates of target variables of the population at national and regional levels. For unplanned zones with small sample sizes, reliable estimates are needed in many ways but the direct survey estimates are unreliable. The purpose of the study is to improve the direct survey estimates of the z scores of malnutrition for unplanned zones by borrowing auxiliary variables from the census. We applied small area estimations under Fay Herriot (FH) model to overcome the problem of generating reliable estimates by linking the Ethiopian demographic and health survey (DHS) with the census data. According to the results of diagnostic measures, the FH model assumptions are satisfactorily confirmed. And also the results of model-based estimates confirmed that the EBLUPs of z scores of malnutrition are produced more reliable, efficient and precise estimates than the direct survey estimates for small sample sizes in all zones. Therefore, direct survey estimates of malnutrition were highly improved by the EBLUPs in all zones. Zones are important domains for planning and monitoring purposes in the country and therefore z scores of malnutrition estimates for under-five children at the zonal level can be helpful for resource allocation, policymakers, and planners.
Performance of LSTM neural networks in nowcasting global trade during the COVID-19 crisis
Authors: Hopp Daniel
Published: May 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the increasing need of policymakers for timely estimates of macroeconomic variables. A prior United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) research paper examined the suitability of long short-term memory artificial neural networks (LSTM) for performing economic nowcasting of this nature. Building off those findings, in this paper, the LSTM’s performance during the COVID-19 pandemic is compared and contrasted with that of the dynamic factor model (DFM), a commonly used methodology in the field. Three separate variables, global merchandise export values and volumes and global services exports, were nowcast with actual data vintages and performance evaluated for the second, third, and fourth quarters of 2020 and the first and second quarters of 2021. In terms of both mean absolute error and root mean square error, the LSTM obtained better performance in two-thirds of variable/quarter combinations, as well as displayed more gradual forecast evolutions with more consistent narratives and smaller revisions.
Statistical awareness promoting a data culture
Authors: Radermacher Walter J.
Published: May 2022

Good statistics can do a lot of good: They help to base decisions on factual arguments, they can simplify conflict resolution. This requires an understanding of the opportunities and risks, the strengths and limitations of statistical facts. Overestimation leads to exaggerated expectations and disappointments, underestimation to missed opportunities, risks. Even worse is the trouble if facts are influenced or manipulated with political intentions or if even the impression of arbitrariness is created with so-called ‘alternative facts’. The very bad excesses of political misuse of statistics are carried out with intent and not negligently. Nevertheless, it can be argued that the virus of false and manipulated information flourishes when the statistical literacy of the population is at a low level. On the less serious scale of missed opportunities or too high expectations regarding statistics, there are, of course, also observations that suggest that an improvement in statistical literacy would be very good for politics, both on the part of the population and on the part of politics itself. Overall, the aim must be to promote and nurture a culture in which a conscious and experienced approach regarding data and statistics has become the standard.

Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have disorders of posture and movement and which can limit physical activities such as walking OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) combined with robot-assisted gait training (RAGT) on walking ability in children with CP and clarify the most effective degree of weight reduction. METHODS: Sixty CP children were recruited and randomly allocated into four different groups. The control group received conventional physical therapy (n= 15), and task groups performed VR combined with RAGT with 15% (Group A, n= 15) /30% (Group B, n= 15) /45% (Group C, n= 15) weight loss. All participants were given 50 min of therapy per session four times a week for 12 weeks and were assessed pre-and post-test with the surface electromyography (EMG), the Modified Ashworth Scale, the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM) dimension E and D, and Six-Minute Walking Test (6-MWT). RESULTS: All indicators had improved significantly in each group after the intervention (P< 0.05). The result of our study demonstrated that the more effective impacts of VR combined with RAGT on walking ability compared to the control group (P< 0.05), and 30% of weight loss had the best improvement in CP children (P< 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: VR combined RAGT can effectively improve walking ability in children with CP, especially when the weight loss is 30%.
Digital phenotyping in psychiatry: A scoping review
Authors: Chia Alex Z.R. , Zhang Melvyn W.B.
Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: Digital phenotyping has been defined as the moment-by-moment assessment of an illness state through digital means, promising objective, quantifiable data on psychiatric patients’ conditions, and could potentially improve diagnosis and management of mental illness. As it is a rapidly growing field, it is to be expected that new literature is being published frequently. OBJECTIVE: We conducted this scoping review to assess the current state of literature on digital phenotyping and offer some discussion on the current trends and future direction of this area of research. METHODS: We searched four databases, PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, PsycINFO and Web of Science, from inception to August 25th, 2021. We included studies written in English that 1) investigated or applied their findings to diagnose psychiatric disorders and 2) utilized passive sensing for management or diagnosis. Protocols were excluded. A narrative synthesis approach was used, due to the heterogeneity and variability in outcomes and outcome types reported. RESULTS: Of 10506 unique records identified, we included a total of 107 articles. The number of published studies has increased over tenfold from 2 in 2014 to 28 in 2020, illustrating the field’s rapid growth. However, a significant proportion of these (49% of all studies and 87% of primary studies) were proof of concept, pilot or correlational studies examining digital phenotyping’s potential. Most (62%) of the primary studies published evaluated individuals with depression (21%), BD (18%) and SZ (23%) (Appendix 1). CONCLUSION: There is promise shown in certain domains of data and their clinical relevance, which have yet to be fully elucidated. A consensus has yet to be reached on the best methods of data collection and processing, and more multidisciplinary collaboration between physicians and other fields is needed to unlock the full potential of digital phenotyping and allow for statistically powerful clinical trials to prove clinical utility.

Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: The incidence of liver tumors is among the top three in China. The treatments of benign and malignant tumors are different. Accurate diagnosis plays an important role in guiding the treatment of tumors. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to solve the following: (1) blurred boundary between the liver tumor and other organs causes incorrect segmentation of liver tumor boundaries; (2) large difference in tumor size and the diversity in texture and grayscale are major challenges in liver tumor classification tasks. METHODS: Firstly, the liver tumor is segmented from the original CT images by a tumor segmentation network, UNet++ with fusion loss and atrous spatial pyramid pooling (FLAS-UNet++). The proposed segmentation method can solve the problem of tumor edge segmentation error by learning the tumor edge information. Secondly they are adaptively cropped according to the tumor volume to reduce the over-fitting and over-sensitivity of the deep network. Thirdly an improved Dense Block is designed to pay more attention to the changes in grayscale and texture between benign and malignant tumors. Finally, the features extracted from the network combined with tumor volume, patient’s sex and age, are sent to a classifier for diagnosis. RESULT: Liver tumor segmentation results show that the dice, HD95 reached 71.9%, 12.1 mm, respectively. The classification results show that the accuracy, specificity, sensitivity and area under curve reached 82.4%, 79.8%, 84.4%, 87.5%, respectively. The segmentation and classification results are both better than other’s methods and mainstream networks. CONCLUSIONS: In order to solve existing problems of liver tumor CT image classification methods, our method realizes the accurate segmentation and classification of liver tumors in CT images and has important clinical application value.

Published: May 2022

BACKGROUND: The prime concern of an implant-supported prosthesis (ISP) is to maintain an optimal proximal contact tightness, which further maintains arch integrity, improves masticatory effectiveness, and minimizes peri-implantitis. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the loss of proximal contact tightness between single tooth implant-supported prosthesis and the adjacent natural teeth. METHODS: Forty patients treated by a single mandibular first molar ISP, aged between 18–50 years were selected. All were randomly allocated in Group I and Group II. Group I, 20 subjects who have received ISP without an insertion of Essix retainer, and Group II patients received an insertion with Essix retainer. The groups were subdivided into Subgroup A, B, and Subgroup C, D, in which A and C are control groups. To measure the tightness at proximal contact points, a digital force analyzer was used. Proximal contact tightness (PCT) was measured immediately after the placement of the prosthesis, 3 months, 6 months, and 1-year follow-up respectively, and the PCT values at end of 1 year were statistically evaluated. Statistical analysis was done, mean and standard deviation was calculated by independent sample t-test wit p< 0.05 as a statistically significant value. RESULTS: In Group I, towards the end of 1 year, 2.09 N (65.5%) and 1.50 N (53.1%) loss of PCT were found on mesial and distal contact areas respectively. In Group II, loss of PCT at mesial contact area was 0.87 N (28.9%) and at distal contact area was 1.77 N (53.3%), which is significantly less compared with the non-usage of Essix retainer (p< 0.05). CONCLUSION: The usage of Essix retainer, PCT increases especially on the mesial contact area. The frequency of contact loss was decreased. Thus, to minimize the loss of proximal contact the usage of Essix retainer is recommended.

BACKGROUND: The natural Omega-3 lipids in the OADM serve to reduce inflammation. Preliminary results in a human model reported no adverse events and favorable healing and esthetic outcomes. OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this animal model study was to histologically evaluate the use of Omega-3 piscine acellular dermal matrix (OADM) as a soft tissue alternative in surgically created mucogingival defects. METHODS: Bilateral maxillary canines in 6 adult beagle dogs were randomly assigned to the test (OADM) and control sub-epithelial connective tissue graft (SCTG) groups. Dehiscence defects 4 × 6 mm were created surgically on the buccal surfaces. The OADM/SCTG were placed to completely cover the root surface to the level of the cemento-enamel junction and sutured with resorbable sling sutures. The gingival flap was repositioned to cover the grafts. At two months follow-up, the dogs were sacrificed, and block samples were retrieved, including the whole canine and periodontium. The histological outcomes were evaluated using qualitative analysis. RESULTS: The qualitative histological analysis revealed the oral, sulcular and junctional epithelium had healed with normal appearance on both test and control sites. None of the test (OADM) samples presented with any foreign body reaction. CONCLUSION: The use of this new piscine xenograft resulted in minimal complications and the attachment apparatus healed normally.

Published: May 2022

As plantas medicinais e os fitoterápicos são alternativas para o tratamento de diversas doenças. O Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) possui 12 fitoterápicos padronizados na Relação Nacional de Medicamentos Essenciais (RENAME): alcachofra, aroeira, babosa, cáscara-sagrada, espinheira-santa, garra-do-diabo, guaco, hortelã, isoflavona-de-soja, plantago, salgueiro e unha-de-gato. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os eventos adversos destes fitoterápicos e as possíveis interações medicamentosas resultantes do seu uso concomitante com medicamentos convencionais. O trabalho foi realizado por meio de uma revisão narrativa da literatura no período entre 1995 e 2020. As plantas medicinais e/ou os medicamentos fitoterápicos são constituídos de compostos químicos, que em sua maioria são responsáveis pelas suas variadas ações farmacológicas. A composição química complexa aumenta a possibilidade de interações quando medicamentos convencionais são utilizados concomitantemente. As interações podem ser benéficas ou desfavoráveis, podendo potencializar o efeito de fármacos, reduzir a eficácia, resultar em reações adversas ou não alterar o efeito esperado do fármaco. Ressaltou-se a importância de considerar os fitoterápicos/plantas medicinais com a mesma importância que os medicamentos sintéticos, baseando a conduta clínica em evidências científicas confiáveis, reconhecendo sua eficácia, mas também seus efeitos adversos e a possibilidade de interações medicamentosas tornando, assim, seu uso mais seguro e eficaz.

ABSTRACT

Diarrhea is a condition in which the frequency of bowel movements is more than 4 times in infants and more than 3 times in children, characterized by the consistency of liquid stools, green in color and sometimes mixed with mucus, blood or mucus. Complications that occur due to diarrhea are dehydration, hypovolemic shock, hypokalemia, hypoglycemia, intolerance secondary to intestinal mucosal villi damage and lactase enzyme deficiency, seizures, hypertonic dehydration, protein energy malnutrition (due to vomiting and diarrhea, if prolonged or chronic). Dehydration is usually characterized by changes in vital signs, such as body temperature, pulse rate, respiratory rate, and blood pressure. This study aims to determine the relationship between pulse frequency with the degree of dehydration in children with diarrhea in the ER Wamena Hospital. This research is a quantitative research with correlation analytic method through cross sectional approach. Secondary data collection using a data collection sheet with a sample of 380 people. The independent variables are body temperature and pulse rate, while the dependent variable is the degree of dehydration. Based on the results of the Spearman rank test, it was found that there was a relationship between pulse frequency and the degree of dehydration with p value = 0.013 and the strength of the relationship was very weak. It is recommended for further researchers to conduct further research on other factors related to diarrhea

Corporate social responsibility and corporate financial fraud: evidence from China
Authors: Gen Wang , Yustina Andi Ina , Hajanirina Andrianantenaina , Reyes Mila Austria
Published: May 2022

With the development of globalization, corporate social responsibility has become a hot subject of shared concern for all nations in the globe. The lack of CSR performance in modern China has prompted worries about CSR in both academic and practical circles in China. In this work, the authors continue Liao's research and seek to re-analyze if CSR is connected to financial fraud. Through the analysis of A-share companies in the construction industry listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange and the Shenzhen Stock Exchange, this paper finds that CSR scores are negatively correlated with financial fraud activities, which suggests that CSR companies are less likely to engage in financial fraud. Thus, to some degree, it may also argue that CSR is an ethical activity that has the power to minimize corporate financial misbehavior.
Les mobilités des périurbains de l’Ouest francilien : vers une quête de proximité ?
Authors: Berger Martine , Aragau Claire , Rougé Lionel
Published: May 2022

L’évolution des distances des navettes, comme celle des mobilités résidentielles des périurbains, témoigne de changements de comportements en faveur des bourgs et petites villes, noyaux secondaires du système métropolitain. Si ces changements correspondent parfois à des situations de contrainte, voire de captivité, ils évoluent souvent, dans l’Ouest francilien, vers des situations d’ancrage local permises par la densification de l’offre de commerces et de services et par le desserrement des emplois. La diversité des systèmes de mobilité accompagne des recompositions territoriales en faveur de la proximité et de l’intensité urbaine.

Struggling against language shift: Kurdish language education in Turkey
Authors: Leinonen Anu
Published: May 2022

This article, largely based on interviews with language activists, investigates Kurdish language-in-education policy in Turkey since the early 2000s. It attempts to answer the following questions: How has Kurdish language education developed in Turkey from 2004 to 2020? What has been the impact of the educational activities on reversing the language shift from Kurdish to Turkish? I argue that the most important contribution has been on the elite or academic level with a widening of the Kurdish-reading and writing elite. Yet, the language shift from Kurdish to Turkish continues.

Remittance Inflows and Adoption of Agricultural Technology: Evidence from Ethiopia
Authors: Zegeye Mesele Belay
Published: May 2022

This study investigates the effect of remittance on agricultural technology adoption in rural Ethiopia using cross-sectional data from the Ethiopian Socioeconomic Survey collected in 2015/16. To estimate the effect of remittance on the adoption of agricultural technology, this study employs probit regression, IV Probit, and 2SLS methods. Data for analysis is obtained from 2316 sample households drawn from regions of Tigray, Amhara, Oromia, and south nation nationalities and peoples. The results show that the effect of remittances on agricultural technology adoption is negative and significant. The results also show that the education level of the household head, Tropical livestock unit, extension visit, credit access, and land ownership right has positive effects on agricultural technology adoption; and distance to market, zonal town, and plot have a negative effect on the probability of adoption. Therefore, policy measures aim to enhance the skills of migrants and enabling them to channel remittances to productivity-enhancing agricultural capital and inputs might help improve productivity.

Published: May 2022

A dental implant is a treatment option that is widely used nowadays and provides to giving the aesthetic, function, and phonation back to the patient in dental deficiencies. Nevertheless, the inefficacies of dental implants also draw attention for various reasons. Factors causing early period implant inefficacies are being analyzed and reasons that may be affecting marginal bone loss are being elaborated. In the literature, factors causing marginal bone loss such as premature prosthetic loading, neglected cement residues at the prosthesis stage, micro-gap foundation, infection foundation on the surgery region and traumatic surgery draws attention. One of these reasons is the thickness of the mucosa covering the region that the implant is placed (phenotype). The purpose of our review is to discuss the effect of mucosal thickness in the surgical area on the marginal bone loss in the implant area, within the scope of the literature.

Tasavvufun Teşekkül Sürecinde Anahtar Bir Kavram Olarak Ḫavāṭır: El-Ḥāris̠ el-Muḥāsibī’nin Yaklaşımı
Authors: AYDEMİR Hasan
Published: May 2022

Tasavvuf, kelam ve felsefe ehline müntesip düşünürler ḫavāṭır kavramını hicri üçüncü asırdan itibaren farklı anlayış biçimleriyle ele alır. El-Hāris̠ el-Muḥāsibī (ö. 243/857) de ḫavāṭırı ahlaki ve pratik bir zeminde riʿāyet anlayışının temel bir unsuru olarak işler. Onun yaşadığı dönemde kimi zahidlerin eylemlerini sübjektif tecrübelerle elde ettikleri bilgilere dayandırmaları krize neden olan bir etkendir. Ayrıca bu bilgileri aktarmak için dāʿī/devāʿī, ʿāriḍ, vesvese, nezġ/nezeġāt, ḥadīs̠u’n-nefs, ilhām, ḥikmet ve maʿrifet gibi birçok ifade kullanmaları da kavram kargaşasına sebep olan diğer bir müessirdir. El-Muḥāsibī, tasavvufun bir din ilmi olarak teşekkülüne engel olan bu krizleri aşmak için anahtar bir kavram olarak sistematik ve bütüncül bir ḫavāṭır anlayışı geliştirir. Böylece dinî bir ilim olma yolunda ilerleyen tasavvufun bilgi yöntemini Kur’an ve sünnet temelli bir anlayış üzerinden inşa eder. Bu çalışmada ilk olarak el-Muḥāsibī’nin geliştirdiği bu anlayışının özgünlüğünü sorgulamak üzere ḫavāṭır kavramının din bilimlerinde kullanılmaya başlandığı tarihî serüven incelenmiş ve beraberinde el-Muḥāsibī’nin ḫavāṭır anlayışını oluştururken felsefe ve Muʿtezilī düşünürlerden etkilenip etkilenmediği mukayese edilerek tartışılmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra ḫavāṭır kavramı üzerinden onun riʿāyet düşüncesi ve insan doğasına dair fikirleri açıklanmıştır. Ayrıca bu çalışmada ḫavāṭıra benzeyen ifadelerin sebep olduğu kavram kargaşasına karşı el-Muḥāsibī’nin nasıl bir yöntem geliştirdiği, bireyin kalbine gelen ḫavāṭıra karşı sorumluluğunun ve epistemolojik değerinin ne olduğu saptanmıştır. Son olarak el-Muḥāsibī’nin ḫavāṭır konusu çerçevesinde muhalif ve muvafık olduğu zümreler tespit edilmiştir.
Meṣābīḥu’s-Sunne Şerh Literatürü
Authors: AKBAŞ Mustafa Yasin
Published: May 2022

el-Ferrāʾ el-Beġavī’nin (ö. 516/1122) Meṣābīḥu’s-Sunne isimli hadis derlemesi yazıldığı günden itibaren ilgiyle karşılanıp farklı coğrafyalardaki medrese ve dāru’l-ḥadīs̱lerde okunmuştur. Bu ilgi sonucu eser hakkında farklı dönemlerde çok sayıda şerh kaleme alınmıştır. El-Meṣābīḥ şerhlerini listeleyen çalışmalarda çoğunlukla birbirinin tekrarı ve karışık bilgiler yer almaktadır. Bu durum ilgili çalışmalarda kaynaklardaki bilgiler ve kütüphane katalog kayıtları ile yetinilmesinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Ayrıca şimdiye kadar hazırlanan listelerde şerhlerin özellikleri hakkında çok fazla bilgi bulunmamaktadır. Bu makalede el-Meṣābīḥ şerhleri tespit edilip incelenmekte, ortak ve farklı yönleri dikkate alınarak değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmada öncelikle şerhlerin listesi sunulmuş ve eserin hacmini artırmamak gayesiyle müellifler ile eserler tanıtılmadan yalnızca kaynaklara atıf yapılmıştır. Ayrıca varsa müellif ve eser hakkındaki ihtilaflara temas edilmiştir. Makalede el-Meṣābīḥ’in günümüze ulaşan 25 şerhi tespit edilmiş, matbu 6 eserin yanı sıra yazma haldeki 19 şerh listelenmiştir. Kaynaklarda ismi geçen 4 şerhin kayıp olduğu, harici bir bilgi ile teyit edilemeyen 11 şerhin ise sadece müelliflerine nispet edildiği tespit edilmiştir. Şerhler değerlendirilirken müelliflerin yaşadıkları bölge ve dönem ile ilmî kişilikleri dikkate alınarak karşılaştırma yapılmıştır. Ardından muhteva başlığı altında şerhlerin özellikleri incelenerek ortak ve hususi yönlerine dikkat çekilmeye çalışılmış, el-Meṣābīḥ’in temel şerhleri ile bunlardan istifade eden diğer şerhler belirlenmiştir. Bu kısımda hususi bilgileri öne çıkaran şerhlere de temas edilmiştir. Şarihlerin yorumlarında temel aldıkları alimler ve eserler ile el-Meṣābīḥ şerhlerinin birbirlerine ve sonraki eserlere ne ölçüde kaynaklık ettikleri ise kaynaklar ve etkileşim başlığında incelenmiştir. Makalenin sonuna Meṣābīḥu’s-Sunne şerhleri hakkındaki temel bilgiler tablo halinde eklenerek bu eserler ve özellikleri toplu halde gösterilmeye çalışılmıştır.

Stage IIB Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients, with a mediastinum-to-thorax (M/T) ratio of ≥0.33 or extranodal localization have a poor prognosis and are treated either as limited or advanced stage. We compared these two approaches in patients included in two randomized phase III trials enrolling previously untreated early (H10) or advanced stage HL (AHL2011). We included HL patients with Ann-Arbor stage IIB with M/T ≥0.33 or extranodal involvement enrolled in the H10 or AHL2011 trials with available positron emission tomography at baseline (PET0) and after two cycles of chemotherapy (PET2). Baseline total metabolic tumor volume (TMTV) was calculated using the 41% SUVmax method. PET2 response assessment used the Deauville score. One hundred and fourty-eight patients were eligible, including 83 enrolled in the AHL2011 trial and 65 in the H10 trial. The median TMTV value was 155.5 mL (range, 8.3-782.9 mL), 165.6 mL in AHL2011 and 147 mL in H10. PET2 positivity rates were 16.9% (n=14) and 9.2% (n=6) in AHL2011 and H10 patients, respectively. With a median follow-up of 4.1 years (95% confidence interval [CI]: 3.9-4.4), overall 4-year PFS was 88.0%, 87.0% in AHL2011 and 89.2% in H10. In univariate and mutivariate analyses, baseline TMTV and PET2 response influenced significantly progression-free survival (hazard ratio [HR]=4.94, HR=3.49 respectively). Notably, among the 16 patients who relapsed, 13 (81%) had a baseline TMTV baseline ≥155 mL. Upfront ABVD plus radiation therapy or upfront escBEACOPP without radiotherapy provide similar patient’s outcome in high-risk stage IIB HL. TMTV is useful to stratify these patients at baseline.
