Published: June 2023

Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is a life-threatening acute metabolic complication occurring in patients with type 1 diabetes, due to an insulin deficiency. Moderate hypertriglyceridemia is commonly observed in DKA but severe hypertriglyceridemia with a triglyceride level exceeding 10 g/l is very rarely reported. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious condition which still carries a mortality of around 50%. Cerebral edema is a devastating complication of DKA which is leading cause of diabetes-related death in the pediatric population. Newly diagnosed diabetes, younger age, first episode of DKA, severity of DKA at presentation, and administration of bicarbonate are predictive of cerebral edema in DKA. We present a case of 8-year-old girl who presented with severe DKA, whose clinical course was complicated by renal failure, severe dyslipidemia and cerebral edema.

AIM: To investigate the effect of bicanalicular silicone tube intubation (BSTI) in the treatment of functional epiphora after endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy (En-DCR).
METHODS: Clinical data of 84 patients (95 eyes) with functional epiphora after En-DCR were retrospectively analyzed. Functional epiphora was confirmed as persistent or recurrent epiphora by fluorescein dye disappearance test (FDDT), lacrimal irrigation test, as well as endoscopic examination. Secondary BSTIs were recommended for patients with functional epiphora. These tubes were removed 1mo after surgery. Functional success and associated complications were assessed after 2y of follow-up.
RESULTS: Seven patients (9 eyes) refused intervention, 5 patients (6 eyes) did not complete postoperative follow-up, and 1 patient (1 eye) developed tube prolapse within 1mo after surgery. Seventy-one patients (79 eyes) were included at last. Functional success ratios at six months, one year, as well as two years post-operation were 94.9% (75/79), 92.4% (73/79), and 91.1% (72/79), respectively. Three eyes presented with punctal slitting (2 eyes without epiphora), 1 eye with proximal canaliculus slitting, 1 eye with canaliculus stenosis and 4 eyes with still present functional epiphora without detectable abnormal at the last follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Secondary intubation is an effective procedure with low recurrence probability for functional epiphora after En-DCR. Punctal and canaliculus injury are the main tube-associated complications after secondary intubation.

Ekolojik Krizin Sorumlusu Monoteizm mi? Tanrı-Alem İlişkisinin Ekofeminist Tasavvurları
Authors: ÖZTÜRK Sevcan
Published: June 2023

Bu makale, ekolojik krizinin kökeninin teolojik nedenlere, özellikle de Hıristiyanlığın geleneksel monoteist Tanrı tasavvuruna dayandığı iddiasından hareket etmektedir. Makalenin amacı, monoteist Tanrı tasavvurunun ortaya koyduğu Tanrı ve alem ilişkisi anlayışının ekolojik krizin temel sebebi olduğu suçlamasını, bunun önde gelen temsilcilerinden olan ekofeminist teolojinin argümanları çerçevesinde değerlendirmektir. Ekolojik krizin teolojik boyutları ile incelenmesini içeren literatürde konuyu insan ve doğa ilişkisi boyutuyla değerlendiren çok sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bunun yanı sıra, nispeten az sayıda da olsa, konuyu Tanrı ve alem ilişkisi çerçevesinde ele alan çalışmalar da bulunmaktadır. Bunların önemli bir kısmı ekofeminist teologların ortaya koyduğu çalışmalardan oluşmaktadır. Bu çalışmaların en belirgin ortak özelliği, ekolojik krizle ilişkili olarak geleneksel monoteist Tanrı tasavvuru karşısında ekofeminist teologların ortaya koydukları eleştirel tavırdır. Eleştirilerin merkezinde monoteist Tanrı tasavvurunun Tanrı’nın birliğine değil; Tanrı’nın sıfatları arasında mutlak güce ve mutlak aşkınlığa yaptığı vurgu yer almaktadır. Özellikle Batı Hıristiyanlığında hâkim Tanrı anlayışını temsil ettiği iddia edilen monoteist tasavvur, ekofeminist teologlara göre, gerçekliği açıklamada düalist bakış açısının da uygulanması neticesinde hiyerarşik bir Tanrı-alem ilişkisini desteklemektedir. Tanrı, güç ilişkilerini meşru hale getiren ve zayıf olanın ezilmesini mümkün kılan, bu dünyanın dışında ve bu dünyayı aşan bir varlık olarak tasvir edilmektedir ve monoteist Tanrı tasavvuru, bu sebeple, ekofeminist teologlar tarafından eleştirilmektedir. Ekofeminist teologlar, geleneksel monoteist Tanrı tasavvuruna alternatif olarak iki öncü ekofeminist teolog Rosemary R. Ruether ve Sally McFague’nün sırasıyla savunduğu panteist ve panenteist Tanrı tasavvurlarını önermektedirler. Çalışmanın bahsi geçen amacı doğrultusunda, ekofeminist teolojinin önerdiği ve çağdaş Hıristiyan felsefi teolojisinde Tanrı-alem ilişkisi yaklaşımları arasında öne çıkan panteist ve panenteist yorumlar ekolojik kriz bağlamında ele alınmaktadır. Ekofeminist söylemin teoloji alanına uygulanmasında ortaya çıkan bazı problemler ekofeminist teologların öne sürdükleri alternatif Tanrı tasavvurları açısından değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışma dört bölüm içermektedir. Öncelikle ekofeminizm akımının teoloji ile ilişkisinin boyutları ortaya koyulmuştur. Sonra ekofeminist teolojinin monoteist Tanrı tasavvuruna yönelik eleştirisinde ortaya koyduğu temel argümanları tartışılmıştır. Daha sonra ekofeminist teolojinin monoteizm karşısında sunduğu alternatif Tanrı tasavvurları olan panteist ve panenteist tasavvurlar ele alınmıştır. Son olarak ise ortaya koymuş olduğu argümanlar çerçevesinde ekofeminist teolojinin ve Tanrı tasavvurlarının içeriksel ve metodolojik açılardan bir değerlendirmesi yapılmıştır.

An imbalance between regulatory T (Treg) and T-helper (Th)-17 cells has been implicated in the pathogenesis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exert immunomodulatory properties through secreting exosomes. This study aimed to assess the effect of MSC-derived exosomes (MSC-Exo) on the differentiation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) into  Tregs from patients with COVID-19.
Exosomes were isolated from adipose tissue–derived MSCs. PBMCs were separated from the whole blood of COVID-19 patients (n=20). Treg frequency was assessed before and 48 hours after treatment of PBMCs with MSC-Exo using flow cytometry. Expression of FOXP3 and cytokine genes, and the concentration of cytokines associated with Tregs, were assessed before and after treatment with MSC-Exo.
The frequency of CD4+CD25+CD127-  Tregs was significantly higher after treating PBMCs with MSC-Exo (6.695±2.528) compared to before treatment (4.981±2.068). The expressions of transforming growth factor (TGF)-β1, interleukin (IL)-10, and FOXP3 were significantly upregulated in MSC-Exo–treated PBMCs. The concentration of IL‐10 increased significantly after treatment (994.7±543.9 pg/mL) of PBMCs with MSC-Exo compared with before treatment (563.5±408.6 pg/mL). The concentration of TGF-β was significantly higher in the supernatant
of PBMCs after treatment with MSC-Exo (477.0±391.1 pg/mL) than PBMCs before treatment (257.7±226.3 pg/mL).
MSC-Exo has the potential to raise anti-inflammatory responses by induction of  Tregs, potentiating its therapeutic effects in COVID-19.

T cell dysregulation and shift to T helper 2 responses, boosting tumor microenvironment support, contributes to the survival of leukemic B cells in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. Interleukin (IL)-25 is involved in the initiation of T helper 2 cell responses. Signal transduction of IL-25 begins with the heterodimer receptor (IL-17RA/IL-17RB). The presence of IL-25 in the tumor microenvironment may affect the supportive effects of T cells in the surrounding tumor cell environment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the role of IL-25 in the biology of CLL.
IL-17RB expression in CD3+ and CD19+ cells was assessed in isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of nine CLL patients and nine healthy subjects by real-time polymerase chain reaction and flow cytometry. B cells were positively enriched from PBMCs using magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS). PBMCs and purified leukemic B cells were cultured with recombinant human IL-25 (20ng/ml) for 72 hours, then the viability and apoptosis of cultured cells were measured by MTT assay and AnnexinV/7AAD. Furthermore, the levels of CD69 expression on T lymphocytes and IL-17RB in T and B cells were determined by flow cytometry.
The basal level of IL-17RB expression in CLL patients was significantly higher than that in control individuals. In addition, the percentage of IL-17RB+/CD3+, IL-17RB+/CD19+ cells and CD69+/CD3+ cells increased after 72 hours of culture with IL-25 in CLL patients compared to healthy subjects. IL-25 also reduces the apoptosis rate of tumor cells.
We found that IL-25 could stimulate T cells in CLL patients and lower B cell death. This suggests that IL-25 might have a role in enhancing the survival of tumor cell by expressing receptors for inflammation, such as IL-17RB, and might be involved in the development of CLL.

Published: June 2023

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common metabolic disorder. The improvement of the quality of life (QoL) of people with DM is one of the goals in most health systems. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the QoL and social support in these individuals.
Materials and Methods: Forty people with diabetes with lower limb amputation participated in this descriptive cross-sectional study. For data collection, the multidimensional scale of perceived social support (MSPSS), medical outcome study-social support survey (MOS-SSS), the diabetes quality of life (DQoL), and demographic questionnaires were used.To examine the relationships between the variables, an independent t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, Spearman’s correlation coefficient, and multivariate analysis were performed by SPSS software, version 22.
Results: In this study, 56% of the participants (22 people) were male and the rest were female. The results of the linear regression analysis showed that there was a significant and direct relationship between QoL and social support resources (P=0.002, β=0.514) and dimensions (P=0.01, β=0.458). QoL was significantly correlated with marital status (P=0.015) and economic status (P=0.046).
Conclusion: Increased social support enhances QoL in people with diabetes with lower limb amputation. Therefore, planning to improve social support is highly important in improving the QoL in these people.

Published: June 2023

In the modern times when good appearance is a key factor to gain a competitive advantage, hairstyling is a service that people must have to improve their personal image. Customers keep a conversation with a hairdresser to let him/her know what they want. This study attempted to seek a plan to make beauty industry more competitive by examining the effects of hairdressers’ communication on customer satisfaction and relationship continuity. For this, the influence of hairdresser-customer communication on customer satisfaction and effects of customer satisfaction on relationship continuity were investigated, and the results found the followings: Verbal communication had an influence on customer satisfaction. In nonverbal communication, ‘appearance language’, ‘pseudo language’ and ‘facial language’ were influential. In addition, customer satisfaction affected relationship continuity. The above results confirm that both verbal and nonverbal communications play a critical role in providing hairdressing services. Therefore, it is anticipated that achieving the service level that customers expect would improve customer relationships by increasing customer satisfaction and make a contribution to the growth and development of beauty industry.

Published: June 2023

This study attempted to investigate research trends in edu-tech and high-tech information communication technology-related words and derive implications on the necessity of beauty education studies. This study collected literature data published from 2011 to 2022. Among them, a total of 31 papers were chosen for final analysis to set the direction of education for those in need of digital education in a changing era according to the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Starting with two theses first issued in 2011, high-tech information & communication technology-related beauty papers have been examined so far. In terms of a research topic, the beauty industry was the highest with 13 articles (41.94%), followed by makeup/hairstyling/beauty education (5 papers, 16.13%), aesthetics (2 papers, 6.45%) and nail care (1 paper, 3.22%). When compared to the beauty industry, there needed to be more studies on beauty education. In addition, there has been a demand for changes in educational environments for talent development. In terms of keyword trends, ‘augmented reality (AR)’ was the highest with 51.61%, followed by ‘virtual reality (29.03%)’, ‘3D and machine learning (6.45%)’ and ‘smart learning & metaverse (3.23%)’. In terms of a research method, ‘quantitative research’ was the highest with 13 papers (41.94%), followed by ‘literature review (8 papers, 25.8%)’, ‘other studies (5 papers, 16.13%)’, ‘mixed research (4 papers, 12.9%)’ and ‘qualitative research (1 paper, 3.23%)’. In other words, there is a necessity to perform research with multiple views. The Fourth Industrial Revolution has requested creative convergence talent across the whole process from manufacture to distribution and customer services. Under these circumstances, developing talent that meets such needs in education is also required. This study has suggested the necessity of follow-up studies in domestic beauty education with diverse research topics and through diversification of study subjects and expansion of data collection methods for in-depth approach.

Published: June 2023

As a review of the 2022 revised beauty curriculum, this study attempted to examine how to run 2025 beauty curriculum. For this, the followings were performed. First, connections between the general guidelines of the 2022 revised curriculum and the 2022 revised beauty curriculum were analyzed. Second, the 2015 revised beauty curriculum and 2022 revised curriculum courses were comparatively analyzed, and their relevance with national cosmetologist (general), cosmetologist (skin), cosmetologist (makeup) and cosmetologist (nail) was investigated. Third, how to run the 2022 revision beauty curriculum and vocational high school credit system was discussed. The above results found that compared to the 2015 revised beauty curriculum, the 2022 revised beauty curriculum is more connected with the core competencies of the general guidelines. When courses were compared, however, the level of such core competencies was close to the characteristics and goal of courses. In addition, some demerits were found in core ides, core concept and development of course competencies, putting an emphasis on ‘digital competency’. In the 2022 revised beauty curriculum, the new parts of the national competency standards (NCS) were applied, and curriculum-national technical license connections were improved. Furthermore, how to run the vocational high school credit system was reviewed through analysis of previous studies, and a necessity of establishing a new identity for beauty curriculum was mentioned. It appears that there should be continued efforts in diverse aspects for the smooth settlement and operation of the 2022 revised beauty curriculum and credit system.

Published: June 2023

People with disabilities are limited in fulfilling their social roles, which in turn decreases the quality of life. This study attempted to provide basic data to help them improve the quality of life by analyzing how much they are satisfied with the quality of beauty services. For this, beauty service use patterns were examined against those with disabilities in Seoul, who attended the Hope Seoul NURI Festival held on November 9, 2022. Among a total of 266 questionnaires distributed, 214 copies were used for analysis. According to analysis of differences between beauty service quality and customersatisfaction/ dissatisfaction, men were slightly higher than women in terms of customer dissatisfaction. In quality of beauty services, a statistically significant difference was observed in empathy/trust/assurance, tangibility and customer satisfaction (p<.05). In terms of tangibility by age, ‘50s’ revealed slight dissatisfaction (M= 4.49) with a statistically significant difference (p<.05). In terms of the influence of beauty service quality on customer satisfaction, ‘empathy/trust/assurance (β=.842)’ was the highest, followed by ‘responsiveness (β=.716)’ and ‘tangibility (β=.616)’, confirming positive influence on customer satisfaction. Considering improvements in daily life, it is required to expand beauty services for those with disabilities by recognizing them as potential consumers in beauty industry. Consequently, it is necessary to derive services which meet the needs of people with disabilities based on deep understanding and respect for their lives. In addition, both individuals and society should make further efforts to facilitate their appearance management behavior.

Published: June 2023

In a modern society, a concept of universal design, which insists ‘Let people enjoy a safe and equal life without any discrimination!’ has gradually expanded. Under these circumstances, it is time to improve a beauty salon space by applying the universal design (‘Design for All People’, not for a specific group of people only). This study attempted to improve people’s understanding of beauty salon universal design by using 3D beauty salon universal design guidelines which can be used by people from diverse social classes in a safe and equal fashion. For this, based on the beauty salon universal design guidelines developed by the author (zoning, details, laws, recommendations), the space was divided into treatment, shampooing, waiting and counter zones and entrance. The specific universal design was sketched from November 10 to 15, 2022. Using Sketch-Up Pro 2022, Lumion, it was 3D-modeled and rendered, forming each space with universal design. The above results helped beauty service workers have a better understanding of universal design and suggested a way to utilize in practice. It is anticipated that the study results would be available as basic data in improving diverse perceptions by granting beauty salon customers an equal right and perception of safety and making beauty service workers aware of human rights and diversity. Furthermore, it might be easy and convenient for people from diverse social classes to visit a beauty salon provided that the government supports the application of university design.

In a pluralistic modern society, new trends have continuously emerged due to visual effects from diverse media. In addition, as individual personality becomes more important, people would express their identity with their own color. In addition, diverse programs with which a person’s personality and image can be guessed through color have been developed. As people’s interest in color continues, global Pantone color trends have had a significant influence on design industry. Under these circumstances, this study attempted to broaden the range of art expression by applying Pantone color trends to hairstyling and expand technical expressions, using texture. For this, to analyze color trends 2023 and propose haircut designs using texture techniques, first, the concept and characteristics of Pantone colors were analyzed. Second, the concept of haircut and texture techniques were investigated. Third, based on the above data, 3 different haircut designs were created, using Pantone colors and texture techniques. The study results confirm that it is possible to create unique designs by applying Pantone’s color trends to haircut. It is anticipated that there would be further studies which can make a contribution to the development of hair design by utilizing annual Pantone color trends.

It is necessary to clarify the influence of different moisture contents of recycled aggregates (RA), including oven dry (OD), saturated surface dry (SSD), air dry (AD), etc., on the performance of recycled aggregate concrete (RAC) considering the time-dependent water absorption characteristic of RAs. By analyzing the previous literature, the effects of different moisture contents of RAs on the workability, compressive strength, and durability of RAC were discussed in detail. In addition, the microscopic mechanism was revealed based on the microstructure analysis. A lot of studies have shown that RAC prepared with RA in OD state had the largest fluidity when the same additional water was used. The slump loss of RAC decreases with the increase of water content of RAs, and when the moisture content of RA is higher than 50% of the water absorption of SSD, the slump loss is related to the additional method. The compressive strength and durability of RAC prepared with RAs in AD state were better than that prepared with RA in OD or SSD state. The shrinkage of RAC prepared with RA in OD state was greater than that prepared with RA in the SSD or AD state.

The rapid growth in the volume of international container transport requires that the entire transport chain become more competitive, including maritime container terminals. The aim of the article is to identify the number and location of major Baltic container terminals and to perform a multi‑criteria analysis of the competitiveness of maritime container terminals in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). In our study, we perform the AHP multi‑criteria analysis with subjective criteria weights, as well as the entropy method with objective criteria weights. Thus, we can evaluate the competitive advantages of each of the specified terminals in the region. We are among the first to study the competitiveness of individual maritime container terminals in the BSR. Thus, our research adds to the literature that has yielded results on the competitive advantage of the Baltic seaports.
Zróżnicowanie publicznych wydatków na ochronę zdrowia w krajach członkowskich Unii Europejskiej
Authors: Frączek Julia
Published: June 2023

Cel artykułu/hipoteza: Celem artykułu jest analiza poziomu publicznych (rządowych) nakładów na ochronę zdrowia w poszczególnych krajach Unii Europejskiej. Badania mają charakter eksploracyjny w związku z czym nie sformułowano hipotezy badawczej. Metodyka: Przeprowadzono analizę porównawczą, poziomu publicznych nakładów na ochronę zdrowia w poszczególnych krajach Unii Europejskiej, na podstawie następujących mierników pochodzących z Eurostatu: publiczne wydatki na ochronę zdrowia jako wartość EUR na osobę w latach 2011–2020 oraz publiczne wydatki na ochronę zdrowia jako % PKB w latach 2011–2020. Wyniki/Rezultaty badania: W poszczególnych krajach Unii Europejskiej, które można uznać za podobne kulturowo i gospodarczo, występują znaczne różnice w poziomie publicznych nakładów na ochronę zdrowia. W zdecydowanej większości krajów Unii Europejskiej zaobserwowano wzrost nakładów na ochronę zdrowia. Zmiany te są bardzo zróżnicowane w poszczególnych krajach co powoduje, że powiększa się dystans pomiędzy niektórymi krajami (np. Polską), w których zmiany przebiegają wolniej, a innymi krajami Unii Europejskiej. Tworząc ranking krajów Unii Europejskiej pod względem nakładów na ochronę zdrowia można zauważyć względnie stałe pozycje krajów na przestrzeni lat 2011-2020. Najwyższe pozycje zajmują kraje Europy Zachodniej, a te niższe kraje Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej. Przeprowadzona analiza pozwala na stwierdzenie, że pozycja Polski na tle pozostałych krajów Unii Europejskiej w zakresie publicznych nakładów na ochronę zdrowia jest niska – dotyczy to nie tylko porównania Polski z rozwiniętymi krajami Europy Zachodniej, ale także z większością krajów Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej.
Resilience, Generalized Self-Efficacy, and Mindfulness as Moderators of the Relationship Between Stress and Well-Being
Authors: Lightsey Owen Richard , Smith Ben N.
Published: June 2023

Heeding calls to examine multiple protective factors within single studies, this study tested whether resilience uniquely predicted higher life satisfaction and lower depression over the predictive ability of generalized self-efficacy (GSE) and mindfulness among 332 university students. A second purpose was to test whether resilience uniquely buffered the relationship between two forms of stress—cumulative stress from particular negative life events and general perceived stress—and both life satisfaction and depression over the buffering ability of GSE and mindfulness. In hierarchical multiple regressions, resilience uniquely predicted 3% of the variance in satisfaction with life and 1% of the variance in depression. GSE and mindfulness buffered the relationship between cumulative negative life event stress and depression. At higher levels of GSE and mindfulness, the relationship between cumulative negative life event stress and depression was weaker.
Narrowing the Treatment Gap: A Call to Increase Use of Direct-to-Consumer Marketing in Psychotherapy Practice and Research

Published: June 2023

A mental health treatment gap exists in which individuals who would benefit from evidence-based psychotherapies (EBPs) do not receive them. It is critical to take effective actions so that individuals with unmet mental health needs feel empowered to seek treatment. Direct-to-consumer (DTC) marketing meets this objective. DTC marketing is an effective, patient-centered approach that creates patient demand for a product or service by influencing patient behaviors, attitudes, and preferences. While primarily used in the United States and New Zealand to promote prescription drugs, uses and practices for DTC marketing with nonpharmaceutical EBPs are less established. This article highlights the value of leveraging this marketing approach to increase awareness and use of EBPs. Additionally, an illustrative example is presented that describes the use of social marketing and marketing mix principles to develop effective DTC marketing campaigns in psychotherapy practice.

Mental health clinicians frequently experience hate speech during patient care, resulting in an ethical dilemma. This study evaluated a 1-hour webinar discussing the ethics of working with Veterans who use hate speech, motivations and intentions of hate speech, and guidance on how to respond. The webinar was offered through the virtual Community-Based Outpatient Clinic Mental Health Grand Rounds session at the Veterans Health Administration (VHA). Rural mental health clinicians were the target audience; however, all VHA clinicians could attend. Participants were VHA clinicians who completed the evaluation for the training and received one continuing education unit for this training (n= 668). They were highly satisfied with the training and would recommend it to others. They also reported the intention to talk with coworkers and trainees about responding to hate speech and requested additional training. The recorded training can be viewed for free at https://www.mirecc.va.gov/visn16/working-with-patients-who-use-hate-speech.asp.
