Authors: Koçyiğit Murat
Published: June 2024

Dijital iletişim teknolojilerinin gelişmesiyle önemli bir yere sahip olan Lovemark kavramı, tüketicilerle rasyonel ve duygusal bağlamda etkileşim kurmayı ifade etmektedir. Bir değer yaratma stratejisi olarak Lovemark, marka olmanın ötesinde, beklentileri aşarak, tüketicilerle rasyonel ve duygusal bir bağ kurmayı amaçlamaktadır. Dijital iletişim platformları aracılığıyla, tüketicilerin iç görüsünü anlayan, gizem, duyusallık ve samimiyeti önemseyen markaların işlevsel faydaların ötesine geçerek tüketicilerle duygusal ve rasyonel bir bağ kurduğu ifade edilmektedir. Bu doğrultuda araştırmanın amacı, MediaCat Türkiye’nin Lovemark’ları 2023 araştırmasında E-ticaret (yemek siparişi online sitesi) kategorisinde birinci olan markanın (yemeksepeti) Instagram paylaşımlarını incelemek ve çözümlemektir. Nitel araştırma deseninin kullanıldığı bu çalışmada içerik analizi tekniği ile veriler toplanmış ve MAXQDA programı ile analiz edilmiştir. Markanın resmi Instagram paylaşımları (Kasım 2023), Lovemark kapsamında oluşturulan kodlama cetveliyle analiz edilerek yorumlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda markanın Instagram profilinden elde edilen veriler, Lovemark kavramı doğrultusunda, farkındalık, duyusallık, samimiyet, gizem, rasyonel bağ ve duygusal bağ olmak üzere altı ana kategoriye ayrılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları doğrultusunda, markanın farkındalık (bilinirlik, markaya dair içerik), duyusallık (tat-lezzet vurgusu), samimiyet (bağlılık, empati, tutku, sen dili ve emoji), gizem (merak, ilgi uyandırma, sürpriz), rasyonel bağ (akla-mantığa uygunluk, indirim, kampanya) ve duygusal bağ (ilham verici anlamlı bir değer yaratma, duygulara hitap etme, sadakat) kategorileri doğrultusunda bir paylaşım sıklığına sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Dahası, markanın paylaşımlarında tüketicilerle uzun süreli bir bağ kurmak için kalite, güven ve mükemmel performansı göz ardı etmeden Lovemark oluşumunu etkileyen faktörler kapsamında bir dijital iletişim stratejisi ortaya koyduğu tespit edilmiştir.
Doğu-Batı Karşılaştırmaları: Bosna-Hersek'in Kültürel Çeşitliliği
Authors: Akbaş Arif
Published: June 2024

Bosnia and Herzegovina, throughout its historical trajectory, has found itself situated at the crossroads of Eastern and Western cultural influences. This paper aims to delve into the comparative analysis of Eastern and Western elements in shaping the cultural diversity of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The prolonged period of Ottoman Empire dominion left an indelible mark, immersing the country in Eastern cultural nuances. Architectural structures, traditional attire, and culinary practices, all bore the significant imprints of Islamic influence during this epoch. Concurrently, Bosnia and Herzegovina engaged in a dynamic interaction with Christianity and European cultural elements. The amalgamation of these profound cultural influences has given rise to the rich cultural tapestry evident in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Various ethnic groups coexisting within the nation, such as Bosnians, Serbs, and Croats, have maintained their distinctive cultural identities while simultaneously fostering interactions. This intricate interplay has resulted in the creation of a mosaic culture, rendering Bosnia and Herzegovina distinctly unique. In essence, the cultural diversity of Bosnia and Herzegovina manifests as a testament to the harmonious interaction between Eastern and Western cultural paradigms. This intricate dynamic is intricately intertwined with the historical context and geographical positioning of the country. The cultural wealth of Bosnia and Herzegovina serves as a reflection of the enduring legacy born from this dynamic interaction. A pertinent Bosnian proverb encapsulates this sentiment: “Knowing the depth of the river after crossing the bridge.” (Most preći, pa vidjeti koliko je rijeka duboka.) This proverb alludes to the historical Mostar bridge, symbolizing unity between East and West through tolerance. This article aims to expound upon the cultural diversity of Bosnia and Herzegovina through a historical and sociological interpretive lens.
Trade Relations between Bosnia and Ragusa in the late 13th Century
Authors: Duranović Elmedina
Published: June 2024

Based on a rather modest number of original data records, this paper outlines the economic position of Bosnia in the second half of the 13th century. Assuming that the Bosnian population was predominantly oriented towards agriculture and livestock breeding, as was the case with its neighbours, the paper focuses on the trade related to agriculture and livestock breeding relying therein on the trade records as the most preserved archival documents at our disposal. Notwithstanding the fact that the slave trade was the most developed and therefore mostly recorded intercourse between Bosnia and Ragusa (Dubrovnik), this paper draws attention to other items related to Bosnian export. Hence, the paper discusses data on departure of Bosnian boys to study crafts in Ragusa and other Dalmatian coastal cities, which is a segment not to be neglected in an overview of economic relations in Medieval Bosnia.

The Influence of Physical Activity, Nutritional Status, Age, and Gender on the Health-Related Quality of Life Among Adolescents in Bolaang Mongondow Regenc
Authors: Kumala Dewi Citra , Fatimawali Fatimawali , Posangi Jimmy
Published: June 2024

This study analyzed the influence of Physical Activity, Nutritional Status, Age, and Gender on Adolescent Health and Quality of Life in Bolaang Mongondow Regency. This was an analytic study with a cross-sectional approach conducted in junior and senior high schools in Bolaang Mongondow Regency in October 2023 with a total sample of 406. The results of the study found that physical activity and nutritional status had a p>0.05 value in all domains, while the age variable had a p<0.05 value in the psychological and social domains, the gender variable had a p<0.05 value in the psychological domain, then to analyze the most influential variables, the researcher conducted a logistic regression test and obtained the results of the gender and age variables having the most decisive influence on the quality of life of adolescent health in the psychological domain by 8.6%. This study concludes that Physical Activity and Nutritional Status are unrelated and do not affect the quality of life of adolescents in the Bolaang Mongondow district. At the same time, the variables of age and gender influence only the psychological and social domains of quality of life health; gender and age variables have the most decisive influence. This study implies that Physical Activity and Nutritional Status are not the main factors that influence the quality of life of adolescents in Bolaang Mongondow Regency. However, Age and Gender have a more significant influence, especially on psychological aspects.

Lex Digitalis Intermedia
Authors: Bützler Bodo P.
Published: June 2024

In der globalen Informationsgesellschaft entstehen komplexe normative Ordnungen, die sich nicht mehr nahtlos in die normative Logik der Nationalstaaten übersetzen lassen. Zentrale Akteure in dieser Informationsgesellschaft sind die Intermediäre des Internets, etwa Meta (ehemals Facebook) oder Alphabet (ehemals Google). Aus ihrem Handeln emergiert eine neue transnationale Rechtsordnung – eine lex digitalis intermedia. Bodo P. Bützler legt eine multidisziplinäre Untersuchung dieser transnationalen Rechtsordnung unter Berücksichtigung relevanter ökonomischer, rechtswissenschaftlicher und philosophischer Diskurse vor. Er erörtert, ob und wie (d.h. anhand welcher Kriterien) eine Rechtsordnung, die zunehmend von privaten, nicht-staatlichen Akteuren geprägt wird, noch als legitim qualifiziert werden kann. Das Buch schlägt dafür ein innovatives, funktionales Verständnis von Legitimität vor.
mRNA vaccines protect from the lung microvasculature injury and the capillary blood volume loss occurring in SARS-CoV-2 paucisymptomatic infections
Authors: Dal Negro Roberto W. , Turco Paola , Povero Massimiliano
Published: June 2024

Introduction: The reduction of lung capillary blood volume (Vc) had been identified as the microvascular injury mostly underlying the respiratory Long-COVID syndrome following post-COVID-19 pneumonia. The same kind of injury have been recently also found in several individuals after milder paucisymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infections. Though current guidelines strongly recommend vac­cination, studies aimed to investigate the in vivo protection of anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccines on lung microvascular targets still are missing to our best knowledge. Aim: to assess the protection of mRNA vaccines from the reduction of lung capillary blood volume (Vc) caused by pauci-symptomatic SARS.CoV-2 infections in vaccinated compared to unvaccinated individuals. Methods: Non-smoking individuals with recent paucisymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection were divided into vaccinated and unvaccinated groups. Lung function parameters, including single-breath diffusing capacity and microvascular blood volume, were compared between groups. Results: fifty vaccinated and twenty-five unvaccinated well-matched individuals were studied. Differently than usual lung function parameters, only the single-breath simultaneous assessment of sDLCO, sDLNO/sDLCO ratio and Vc allowed to identify the occurrence of the lung microvascular injury with high sensitivity and specificity (p<0.001). Conclusion: mRNA vaccines proved to exert a high protection from the loss of lung capillary blood volume (Vc) induced by SARS.CoV-2 paucisymptomatic infections (p<0.001). The availability of this non-invasive investigational model should be regarded as a very helpful tool for assessing and comparing in vivo the protective effect of mRNA vaccines on the human microvascular structures of the deep lung.

Authors: Pattinasarany Liona Christy , Widowati Titis , Setyati Amalia
Published: June 2024

Background: Abdominal tuberculosis (TB) is a form of extrapulmonary TB that can present with or without involvement of the lungs. The diagnosis is difficult to establish, which may lead to diagnostic delays. Effective management of adolescent TB requires a holistic approach from various medical disciplines and interventions. This case presented a rare case 13-year-old girl diagnosed with abdominal TB
Case: A 13-year-old girl presented with seven-months history of subfebrile fever, lymph node enlargement, abdominal distention, pallor, and severe weight loss. She was diagnosed with abdominal TB. The diagnosis was further complicated by portal hypertension, pulmonary TB, and severe acute malnutrition. To address these challenges, a multidisciplinary treatment plan was implemented and closely monitored for a period of 12 months
Discussion: Multiple factors are significantly contributing to the successful outcome of the treatment for abdominal tuberculosis, including good adherence to the prescribed anti-tuberculous medications, absence of side effects from the drugs, the patient's positive knowledge, attitude and health behaviours, and housing and environmental health.
Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of factors influencing disease outcomes of abdominal TB. Proper management of the factors would lead to significant clinical and nutritional status improvement, reduce TB transmission, and improved the overall quality of life.
Rater behaviors in peer evaluation: Patterns and early detection with learner model
Authors: Liang Changhao , Horikoshi Izumi , Majumdar Rwitajit , Ogata Hiroaki
Published: June 2024

Peer evaluation is a common practice in team-based learning (TBL) designs, which can cover the assessment of individual or group work. However, the integrity of peer evaluation can be compromised by unserious raters—individuals who do not earnestly engage in the evaluation process. These raters may exhibit behaviors like consistently assigning the same score, rushing through evaluations, or evaluating before or long after the target presentations. This study delves into the issue of unserious peer evaluation in group presentations, with a specific focus on understanding the behavior patterns in the digital system. Utilizing evaluation behavior analysis (EBA) indicators, we identify patterns linked to unserious raters during the peer evaluation process. Meanwhile, we also connect these patterns to rating consistency and actual course performance, underscoring the significance of behavior patterns. Further, we conduct a preliminary analysis to explore the application of learner model data available before the peer evaluation starts for the early detection of unserious raters. This finding can assist teachers in providing personalized prompts and interventions before the peer evaluation stage, hence enhancing the evaluation quality through targeted interventions in a timely manner.

Barriers and drivers of voluntary blood donation in Katavi and Kilimanjaro regions: a comparative cross-sectional study of two regions with high and moderate blood collection rates in Tanzania
Authors:   , Florian Francis
Published: June 2024

Tanzania, blood donation does not meet the national requirement. This was an explanatory sequential mixed-method study design. The quantitative component involved a questionnaire survey to explore respondents’ KAPS on voluntary blood donation and a review of blood donation data from (NTBS). The qualitative component involved four FGDs with registered voluntary blood and healthcare providers from the NTBS. Out of two hundred and fifty-three (253) surveyed participants, 47% (n=120) never donated due to various reasons. Thirty-nine (39) respondents from Kilimanjaro (33%) and 33 from Katavi (27%) respectively did not donate because they were not sensitized and consulted to donate. One of the reasons was a lack of knowledge of the whereabouts of donation centers. Twenty-three (23) respondents from Kilimanjaro (19%) and twelve (12) from Katavi (10%) respectively cited the same reason. Four respondents (4% n=4) and two (1.6%) in Kilimanjaro and Katavi respectively did not donate because the donation center was very far from their residence. Other reasons were religious and cultural reasons and fear of losing sex libido. Fifty-three 53% of all respondents, (n=133) from both regions have ever donated in their lives. In Kilimanjaro, eighteen percent (18% n=24) of respondents donated because a close family member needed it while in Katavi eight percent (8% n=11) donated because of that reason. In Kilimanjaro, eleven percent (11% n=14) donated because their best friend needed it to survive; in Katavi, eleven percent (11% n=15) donated because of that reason. In Kilimanjaro, ten percent (10% n=13) donate because they were sensitized likewise in Katavi ten percent (10% n=13) donated because of that reason. In Kilimanjaro, only, eight percent (8% n=10) just volunteered while in Katavi 25% (n=33) just volunteered. The qualitative part of the study has shown that NBTS officials from Katavi had more creative strategies to improve voluntary blood donation. The prevalence of blood donation was less than satisfactory in the study areas because of misconceptions, poor knowledge, and unfavorable attitude toward blood donation. Utilizing media such as radios and televisions may improve the reach of educational programs, advocacy, and sensitization and encourage more people to donate blood.

Authors:   , Bwatota Shedrack
Published: June 2024

A cross-sectional study was conducted to determine prevalence and the risk factors associated with Coxiella burnetii seropositivity in smallholder dairy cattle in six regions from the southern highland and northern zones of Tanzania between July 2019 and October 2020. A total of 2049 blood samples and 1920 vaginal swabs were collected from dairy cattle. Serum was tested for antibodies against C. burnetii using an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). C. burnetii DNA was identified from vaginal swabs using quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) analyses. A questionnaire survey was designed and uploaded to the Open Data Kit (ODK) cloud platformsoftware version 1.22.4. At each household, the cattle owner aging equal or over 18 years was interviewed to understand the risk factors related to animal health, husbandry, and farmer socioeconomics, as well as environmental variables. C. burnetii prevalence was calculated at different epidemiological levels and maps were created to visualize Q fever spatial distribution. Logistic generalized linear mixed effects models were built to explorethe association between ELISA binomial results, and a set of risk factors and environmental variables important for C. burnetii occurrence. An overall animal seroprevalence of 3.86% (79, 2049) 95% CI 3.06 - 4.78 was estimated across the study regions. Among these regions, Tanga (northern zone) and Iringa (southern zone) showed the highest prevalence with 8.21% (95% CI 6.0 - 10.89%) and 4.63% (95% CI: 2.49 - 7.78%) respectively. On the other hand, molecular identification of C. burnetii from vaginal swabs of selected cows revealed an overall prevalence of 0.94% (18,1920) (95% CI 0.5-1.4%). Among the northern zone regions, Arusha had the highest of 2.3%(95%CI 0.9-4.7%) and on the southern highlands zone, Iringa emanated to have the highest prevalence of 0.73% (95%CI 0.08-2.5%). Animal age, extensive feeding system, and temperature were univariably significant risk factors to C. burnetii seropositivity. The final multivariable logistic regression model showed that old animal age, extensive feeding system, and low precipitation were strongly associated with Q fever seropositivity. These findings indicate that C. burnetii circulates among smallholder dairy cattle across regions in Tanzania. However, Tanga, Arusha and Iringa are the three regions with the highest seroprevalence and should be considered for systematic and active surveillance. Furthermore, “One Health” approaches are necessary to fully understand disease transmission and control of this zoonotic disease.

Deciphering the mechanisms of carcinogens: Unravelling the pathways of cancer initiation and progression: An insight into DNA damage, genotoxicity, and epigenetic changes
Authors: Bhandare Saurabh Dilip
Published: June 2024

Carcinogens are substances known to induce cancer by altering the genetic material and cellular processes within the human body. Understanding the mode of action of carcinogens is critical for developing effective prevention and intervention strategies against cancer. Cancer remains a significant global health challenge, with carcinogens posing a continuous threat to human well-being. This study explores the intricate mechanisms by which carcinogens induce cancer, focusing on the interplay of DNA damage, genotoxicity, and epigenetic alterations. Through an analysis of direct and indirect-acting carcinogens, the study elucidates how these agents disrupt cellular DNA, leading to mutations and chromosomal abnormalities. Additionally, the role of genotoxicity in driving oncogenesis is explored, highlighting the importance of assessing carcinogenic risk through cytogenetic genotoxicity methods. The study focused on the direct and indirect DNA damage, genotoxicity, epigenetic changes, inflammation, hormonal effects, and immune system suppression induced by different carcinogens. It intends insight on the intricate interplay between environmental factors and the molecular foundation of carcinogenesis by thoroughly investigating these pathways. By comprehensively examining these pathways, which hope to focus on the complex interplay of carcinogenesis. By understanding these mechanisms, this study aims to inform preventive strategies and therapeutic interventions, ultimately mitigating the global burden of cancer.
The Effect of Surge on Extreme Wave Impacts and an Insight into Clustering
Authors: Boon Anna D. , Wellens Peter R.
Published: June 2024

_

The original goal of the present research is to investigate the influence of surge on green water and slamming. Long-running experiments with forward velocity and irregular waves were repeated with and without surge. Surge is found to increase the probability of green water events, but the impact pressures on deck and the probability of a green water event reaching the deck box decreases when the ship is free to surge. Green water and slamming events turned out to not occur independently as both event types cluster for large probabilities of occurrence. Clusters are caused by large pitch motions. Larger pressures on deck are found for clustered events.

A coil spring compressor for compressing a coil spring during the assembly of subassemblies of automotive suspension systems, having a head jaw positioned above a base and movable concerning the base. The coil spring compressor is provided with a pair of guide bars suspended from the head plate and on which a slidable carriage is mounted. The carriage carries a pair of compressing assemblies facing each other in vertical positions and positioned at both the upper and lower parts of the coil spring. Each assembly comprises a pair of compressor arms interconnected with each other. Each compressor arm is provided with a jaw mount to which a compressing hook is adjustably attached. The jaws are introduced between a few successive turns of the coil spring by operating handles provided on the compressor arms. The purpose of this design is to be used on various types of suspension disassembly and assembly of vehicles, the tool includes the upper and the lower jaw which by the smooth turning of the screw lowers to compress the coil spring or turns to release the compressed coil spring. The new design was made from mild steel and the tools used for the construction were an electric arc welding machine, power, and hand hacksaws, the bench vice, assorted hammers, vice, etc. The findings indicated that the new design is more efficient than the existing one. It was also recommended that car owners who visit the workshop should insist on the use of the right compression tool in the disassembly and assembly of their suspension systems.

Speaking skills, especially in presenting something like destinations, attractions and etc are critical for students to comprehend, particularly those majoring in travel management. Communication is deemed good when a tour guide can convey information or facts about a location or anything to guests in a clear and efficient manner. Several strategies are used to develop the speaking abilities of travel management students, one of them is by using a spinning wheel media which consists of several questions which are then answered by the students within a predetermined amount of time. This study investigated the efficacy of employing a spinning wheel media to improve the speaking abilities of students majoring in travel management and also to address the demand for practical and engaging speaking activities suited to the unique context of travel management students. A mixed-methods approach was used, with pre and posttest evaluations, observations, and students’ feedback. Overall, the findings indicated that implementing creative and interactive speaking exercises, such as the spinning wheel media, can considerably improve speaking skills among travel management students which was demonstrated by an increase in students’ pretest scores from 67.25% to 84.75% at the post test. Similarly, students claimed that they were more passionate about learning through this media since they were more pushed and challenged to be able to talk more about the topics they had learned. Further research is needed to determine the long-term impacts and potential applicability of this strategy in other educational settings.

Elective Repeated Cesarean Section (ERCS)
Authors: Azal Sadiq
Published: June 2024

Objective: To investigate the timing of elective repeat cesarean deliveries at Al-Batool Teaching Hospital in Diyala, Iraq.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted of 100 women who underwent elective repeat cesarean delivery at 37-40 weeks gestation at Al-Batool Teaching Hospital. Emergency cesarean deliveries were excluded.
Results: The majority of elective repeat cesarean deliveries (78%) were performed at 37 weeks gestation. Cesarean deliveries at 38, 39, and 40 weeks accounted for 4%, 2%, and 16% of the sample, respectively.
Conclusions: In this cohort, most elective repeat cesarean deliveries were conducted at 37 weeks gestation, rather than the recommended 40 weeks. Delivering earlier than 39-40 weeks in the absence of medical indications reduces the chances of successful vaginal birth after cesarean. These findings suggest that evidence-based protocols were not consistently followed for timing of elective repeat cesarean sections at this institution. Further research is needed to identify barriers to adhering to delivery guidelines and implement quality improvement initiatives to optimize cesarean delivery timing when clinically appropriate.
Soft law, hardcore?
Authors: Panahi Tahireh , de Bittencourt Siqueira Andressa
Published: June 2024

Soft Law bietet die Möglichkeit der agilen und flexiblen Regulierung, die sich gerade an die dynamische digitale Entwicklung anpassen kann. Allerdings gilt Soft Law durch seine unverbindliche Natur als wenig effektiv. Mit dem Digital Services Act (DSA) beschreitet die EU jedoch einen unkonventionellen Weg, indem sie Hard Law und Soft Law in – zumindest aus dogmatischer Perspektive – eigentümlicher Weise miteinander verbindet. Der DSA ist selbst eine rechtsverbindliche EU-Verordnung, welche jedoch Soft Law Instrumente vorsieht und sogar Vorschriften zu ihrer rechtlichen Durchsetzung enthält. Derlei Regelungstechniken sind im Unionsrecht zwar durchaus bekannt, doch stellen sie zumindest der öffentlichen Wahrnehmung des DSA als ‚Verfassung des Internets‘ in Frage. Wie weitreichend kann eine solche Verfassung sein, die wesentliche Fragen an (exekutiv initiiertes, privat gesetztes) Soft Law auslagert?
Quantitative analysis and development of alopecia areata classification frameworks
Authors: Dubey Ayushmaan , Morales Arturo
Published: June 2024

Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disorder resulting in rapid and unpredictable hair loss on the scalp or body as the immune system mistakenly attacks human hair follicles. In the United States alone, about 6.7 million people experience a form of Alopecia. Early identification of the condition has shown notable potential in improving treatment outcomes and reducing complications. To diagnose Alopecia, researchers have proposed the use of deep learning (DL) techniques to classify images of hair as healthy or alopecia-affected, which has shown high potential. However, the research implementing relevant DL algorithms in the field of hair loss detection and estimation is limited. This paper presents a comparative analysis of our two newly optimized Convolutional neural networks (CNN) with other existing models. For training, we considered datasets comprised of images of healthy hair and alopecia-affected hair. Due to data unavailability, we gathered images of alopecia-affected hair from two distinct datasets: one from Figaro1k and one independently created dataset. After training the algorithms, we performed a contrastive assessment to determine the most effective one based on relevant criteria. We hypothesized that the initial performance of the base neural network would be closely connected to the subsequent accuracy of the algorithm when training it for a new task. As expected, the modified Inception-Resnet-v2 model achieved the greatest performance, with a validation accuracy and loss of 97.94% and 10.4%, respectively. The experimental results indicated that the proposed algorithm serves as an effective framework for Alopecia Areata classification.
