“I’m in the center of a vortex”: Mapping the affective experiences of trolling victims
Authors: Tian Huixin , Yerbury Hilary
Published: October 2022

This study investigates how the landscape of affect in trolling is constituted from the perspective of victims. It is based on a series of semi-structured interviews conducted in 2018 and 2019 with people who had experienced trolling on Chinese social media and were willing to talk about it. All participants described trolling incidents as beginning from something seemingly inconsequential. By the end of their descriptions, however, a messy, uncontrolled situation emerged that became the source of stress, frustration, and anxiety. Victims worked, sometimes unsuccessfully, to escape from trolling and regain control, not just of their social media communications but also of their identities. Their posts and, inevitably, themselves became the central point of attraction for content to stick to. Screenshots played a particular role in creating this stickiness. Even though some factors were considered a normal but unfortunate part of using social media, crossing the line into private spaces was considered unacceptable. A mapping of the landscape of affect showed that the emotions expressed have a clear starting point in surprise and a fairly clear sequence, with timing, including rapid escalation and drawn-out continuation of the experience, alongside a lack of logical explanations and reactions, leading to a sense of powerlessness. The potential for damage to a victim’s everyday life and for harm to their sense of self, along with the difficulties in reclaiming an identity over which they have control, indicates that a focus on the victims of trolling is a topic worthy of further research.

Published: October 2022

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of blood groups (BGs) on Covid-19 contraction and prognosis and to reveal the coefficients. Patients who referred to Covid-19 outpatient clinics and had an established diagnosis of Covid-19 were included in the study. Their BGs, previous diagnoses and blood examination findings were retrospectively analyzed. Duration of hospitalization, clinical course and survival were recorded. The mean age of 365 subjects, 210 female and 155 male, was 45,5 years. Subjects with BG A developed Covid-19 at significantly higher rates (p = 0.001), while BG O was found associated with lower rates (p = 0.005). Lymphocyte count was found lower (p = 0.035) and rate of lung parenchymal involvement was higher (p = 0.003) in patients with Rh antigen. It was found that a higher percentage of patients with B BG required treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) compared to other ABO BGs (p = 0.015). These results suggest a higher risk of Covid-19 contraction in the population with BG A and lower risk for BG O population while indicating poorer prognosis for patients with BG B.

The primary aim of this study is to determine statistically significant relationship between nutrition and psychological status in adolescent students with the help of canonical correlation analysis, and then to reveal whether nutritional and psychological status of adolescents with gender has an effect on their educational success by using logistic regression analysis. Nutritional status and psychological status variable sets were created by using the Demographic Information Form, Beck Depression Inventory, Beck Anxiety Inventory, Conners-Wells Adolescent Self-Report Scale and Food Frequency Questinaire (FFQ), and antropometric measeruments. These assesments were applied face-to-face to the students with their consent and the scales were filled in by themselves. In the canonical correlation analysis, the variable set for Nutritional Status (U), were represented with body mass index (BMI) and also energy, iron, folic acid and calcium that were obtained by entering the FFQ into the Nutrition Information Systems (BeBiS Program). On the other hand the Psychological Status (V) variable set consisted of Beck depression scale, Beck anxiety scale and Conners-Wells scale scores. Finally, students' success levels were determined by taking their grade point averages over the e-school system of the Ministry of National Education for educational success. According to the canonical correlation analysis; the variable that contributed the most to the Nutritional Status (U) variable set was Body Mass Index while the variable that contributed the most to the V variable set was the Beck Depression Scale Score. The canonical correlation coefficient between the U and V variable sets was 22.4% and it was found statistically significant (p<0.05). In the logistic regression analysis, the dependent variable was educational success, which was categorized the grade point average as successful or unsuccessful with cutt-off points 60, then gender, U and V were taken as the independent variables. The result of the logistic regression analysis was determined as that gender and V had significant effects on the educational success in adolescents (p<0.05).

Authors: SOYKAN SERT Zekiye
Published: October 2022

To evaluate the effects of inadequate antenatal care (ANC) caused by the COVID-19 pandemic on pregnant women. In this retrospective study, pregnant women were divided into two groups as those presenting during the pandemic and non-pandemic periods. The pandemic period was selected as March 11, 2020- December 10, 2020 and the pre-pandemic period as March 11, 2019- December 10, 2019 corresponding to the same period a year earlier. Pregnant women receiving ANC three times or less was defined as inadequate ANC. The pregnant women were evaluated in terms of obstetric complications, including premature rupture of membranes, premature birth, placental abruption. gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), preeclampsia, fetal or neonatal death, and maternal death. The study included 276 patients presenting during the pandemic period and 229 patients presenting during the non-pandemic period. When the pandemic and non-pandemic periods were compared, it was determined that the rates of fetal death, preeclampsia and GDM statistically significantly increased in the former. The rate of adequate ANC was 72.5% (n=166) in the non-pandemic period and 58.3% (n=161) in the pandemic period. When pregnancy complications were compared according to ANC during the pandemic, it was observed that the rates of fetal death, preeclampsia and GDM were higher among the pregnant women with inadequate ANC. Complications due to inadequate ANC may have more significant consequences than complications caused by a possible COVID-19 infection. During the pandemic period, healthcare professionals should ensure that women receive safe and effective care during both pregnancy and childbirth.

Published: October 2022

The Neuroprotective effect of carvacrol, which has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects, on infarcted cerebral tissue is present in literature, but this contribution was not sufficiently clarified in terms of biochemistry. It is aimed to investigate the effect of orally administered carvacrol on plasma and intraparenchymal levels of TBARS, GSH, SOD, CAT, GSH-Px, IL-1β, IL-4, and TNF-α after the formation of global ischemia in cerebral tissue. Four groups were formed, each containing ten Wistar albino rats. After anesthesia and analgesia, bilateral carotid communis arteries of rats in the first two groups were clamped for 15 minutes with aneurysm clips. Oral 50 mg/kg/day carvacrol was administered for 15 days to the first group (I/R+CRV) of these two groups in which cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) was established. On the other hand, %0,01 carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), which is a solvent of carvacrol, at a same volume of first group was administered orally for the same duration to the other group in which also I/R was established (I/R+CMC). In the other two groups in which ischemia was not induced, only carotid artery dissections were made and sutured again. In these two groups, 50 mg/kg/day of carvacrol was administered to the first group (CRV). The Same dose of CMC was administered to the second group (control group). After all these treatments, plasma was collected, and brain tissue was dissected from all groups at the end of the 15th day. Carvacrol can be included in the possible treatment regimen of cerebral stroke with the help of other studies that can be supported on this topic.

Published: October 2022

We aimed to compare the interobserver reliability of ultrasonography (USG) and x-ray (XR) and to calculate the sensitivity and specificity of these tests in the diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH). This retrospective study was conducted among 150 USG and 300 XR images of infants examined for DDH between January 2013 and June 2015. The sonographic angle measurements and hip classifications of each USG and XR were carried out by five orthopedic surgeons specialized in pediatric orthopedics. Both USG and XR showed almost perfect agreement between five observers (κUSG=0.936, κXR=0.927, respectively, p<.0001). In patients under the age of 6 months, the interobserver reliability was almost perfect for USG and substantial for XR (κUSG=0.957, κXR=0.809, respectively, p<.0001). In patients older than 6 months, although interobserver agreement of both tests were almost perfect (κ>0.81), XR showed slightly higher agreement than USG (κXR=0.912, κUSG=0.885, respectively, p<.0001). In the diagnosis of DDH, both USG and plain x-rays are effective radiological tests because they offer high interobserver reliability. However, the surgeon's practical training and experience significantly affect the reliability in the evaluation of pediatric hip USG and XR.

Authors: OZTURK Sebnem Nergiz , OZTURK Onder
Published: October 2022

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) treatment is frequently prescribed for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Electrocardiographic (ECG) monitorization is recommended because HCQ causes QT interval prolongation. The index of cardioelectrophysiological balance (iCEB), calculated as the ratio of QT interval / QRS duration. In recent years, iCEB has been described as an important marker for dysrhthmias. Decreased or increased iCEB is related with lethal ventricular arrhythmias. In our research, we purposed to investigate the relationship between iCEB and HCQ in patients with COVID-19. 200 patients (males, 84; females, 116; 60.4 ± 13.8 years) with PCR positive and chest tomography findings compatible with COVID-19 pneumonia were registered in the research. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data for all patients were collected. ECG was recorded from all patients on admission to COVID-19 clinic, in oral treatment with HCQ (200 mg, twice daily) for at least 5 days. iCEB (QT/QRS) was calculated from the 12-lead electrocardiogram.The mean age of the patients was 60.4 ± 13.8 years. Compared to admission ECG, ECG on day 5 showed significant increases in heart rate, QT interval, corrected QT (QTc) interval, and iCEB. Our results suggested that iCEB is related with HCQ treatment in patients with COVID-19. Previous studies stated that high iCEB is related with torsade de Pointes (TdP), ventricular tachycardia.

Published: October 2022

This study aims to present data obtained by comparing the results of three different kinds of arterio-venous fistula (AVF) in hemodialysis patients. One hundred twenty (120) patients were operated with autogenous brachiobasilic (BBF) AVF, upper arm polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polycarbonate-urethane (PCU) graft AVF in our centre between January 2015 and January 2018. They were enrolled for a retrospective study into three groups; BBF Group (n=54), PTFE Graft Group (n=36), PCU Graft Group (n=30). Their data was analyzed, primary and secondary patency rates, complications and cannulation time were calculated. Primary patency rates of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd years were recorded to be respectively 81.4%, 72.2% and 59.2% in the Autogenous Arteriovenous Fistula (BBF) Group; 61.1%, 55.5% and 44.4% in the PTFE Group and 63.3%, 60% and 46.6% in the PCU Group. Infections occurred in 3.7% of BBF patients, in 8.3% of PTFE patients and 10% of PCU patients. First cannulation times were: 69± 17 (day) in BBF Group, 20 ± 5 (day) in PTFE Group and 10± 3(day) in PCU Group. BBF was observed to perform better than AVG in terms of primary and secondary patency and to result in low infection rates. On the other hand, first cannulation was performed earlier in both graft AVFs. There was no significant difference between PTFE and PCU in terms of our outcomes.

We aimed to show the effect of closure of the appendix stump with different methods during laparoscopic appendectomy (LA), on postoperative complications, healing process and costs. Patients who underwent LA due to acute appendicitis in the last 5 years in Rize were retrospectively analyzed. Our study includes comparative analysis on two patient groups in which we carried LA. We used endoloop (EL) in Group 1 and hem- o-lok polymeric clip (HC) in Group 2 to close the appendix stump. Patients were compared in terms of demographic characteristics, American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score, preoperative white blood cell and C-reactive protein (CRP) elevation, whether a drain was used, appendix diameter, pathological diagnosis, postoperative complications, duration of surgery and length of stay, and cost. Of 209 patients, 111 (51.2%) were male and 98 (48.8%) were female. The frequency of drain placement was higher in Group 2 (P = 0.005). No stump leakage was observed in either group, but the incidence of other postoperative complications was significantly higher in the EL group (P=0.041). The use of HC is cheaper than the use of EL. There was no significant difference in other parameters. Both EL and HC are used safely in LA. Although both methods do not have obvious advantages over each other, HC stands out one step further due to its more affordable cost and less possibility of postoperative complications.

To analyze the association of CYP24A1 gene polymorphism with vitamin D deficiency and its related cardiovascular disorders in the Pakistani population. The present prospective cohort study was carried out at KRL and Rawalpindi General Hospital from January 2017 to December 2018. A total of 110 subjects suffering from heart diseases like hypertension, myocardial infarction, or congestive cardiac failure (age range 12-90 years) were enrolled in this study with informed consent. Sampling was done by non-probability convenience sampling. Blood 24Hydroxyvitmin D levels were assessed in the participants by using an electrochemiluminescence system. Genetic polymorphism in the CYP24A1 gene was screened in selected patients (n=15) through PCR-RFLP, after genomic DNA extraction from the whole blood. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24 for Mac. Fisher’s exact test and chi-square tests were applied for qualitative variables. The risk of polymorphism in CYP24A1(SNP rs6013897) genotypes TT, AT, and AA was determined by calculating the odds ratio and confidence interval. P-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. We observed the highest level of vitamin D deficiency in patients of age group 18-45 years and insufficiency in age group 50-60years. A greater percentage of female patients (34.19%) were deficient in Vitamin D as compared to males (25.72%). Vitamin D deficiency was found to be associated with cardiovascular diseases like hypertension (P=0.000*), myocardial infarction (P=0.334), and heart failure (0.001*). CYP24A1 (SNP rs6013897) was significantly associated (P=0.000*) with vitamin D deficiency and heart diseases (P=0.004*). Moreover, significant polymorphism of genotype AT was observed in our subjects. {P=0.007*, Cramer’s V =.003 and 95% CI (0.44-17.27)}. There is an association of CYP24A1 gene polymorphism with vitamin D deficiency and heart diseases. Prevention of low vitamin D levels in individuals with this known genetic marker may help to avert the development of heart diseases in Pakistan.

Published: October 2022

Echinococcus, which is a zoonotic agent, is endemic in our country and causes hydatid disease by localizing in various organs in the human intermediate host. This study aims to present the demographic and clinical characteristics of patients treated for hydatid cysts in our hospital, determine the methods used for treatment, and review the complications in detail. Cases reported to have a hydatid cyst in the surgical material pathology result in Şanlıurfa Training and Research Hospital were evaluated between March 2017 and December 2019. All patients were living in Turkey, which is endemic for hydatid cysts. The records of the patients who were operated on with the pre-diagnosis of cyst hydatid after the examinations and whose pathology results were reported as hydatid cysts were reviewed retrospectively. During the study dates, a total of 84 patients, 55 (65.4%) female and 29 (34.5%) male, were operated on for cyst hydatid in our hospital. The mean age of the patients was 28.6 (min: 2-max: 67). Seventeen (20%) of the patients were in the pediatric age group. When the patients were examined in terms of the number of cysts, 65 (77.3%) patients had a single cyst, while 19 (22.6%) patients had more than one cyst. When evaluated in terms of cyst location, liver localization was observed in 35 (41.6%) patients, liver and lung co-location in 4 (4.7%) patients, lung location in 19 (22.6%) patients, spleen location in 2 (2.3%) patients, and brain location in 2 (2.3%) patients. localization, adnexal localization in 6 (7.1%) patients, renal localization in 2 (2.3%) patients, and soft tissue localization in 14 (16.6%) patients. In the pediatric age group, cyst localization was 4 in the liver, 10 in the lung, 2 in the brain, and 1 in soft tissue. Preoperative serology test results of 42 patients were reported as positive (+) (1/320-1/2560). The average duration of hospitalization was 1-27 days. When the postoperative complications of the patients were examined, the biliary fistula was found in 4 (4.7%) patients, prolonged air leak in 2 (2.3%) patients, pneumothorax in 1 (1.1%) patient, empyema in 1 (1.1%) patient, who was operated for liver cyst hydatid and postoperative seroma was observed in 5 (5.9%) patients. The mean specimen diameter in the pathology results was 2-20 cm. Cyst hydatid disease caused by echinococcus is endemic in our country and often requires surgical intervention. Imaging methods and serology are used in the diagnosis, but a negative serology does not rule out this disease. Patients should be followed up for possible complications after surgery.

Published: October 2022

On March 11. 2020, the World Health Organization declared the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak a pandemic. The surge in the number of infected patients has strained healthcare systems globally. The insufficient number of hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) beds has caused a serious problem in patient care and follow-up worldwide. We determined patients who were admitted to the emergency department and hospitalized with a preliminary diagnosis of COVID-19 between March 11, 2020 and November 15, 2020. We recorded all subjects' admission vital signs, anamnesis, physical examination notes, laboratory tests and notes describing the hospital stay from the hospital information system. Patients discharged without requiring ICU admission were included in the good clinical prognosis (GCP) group. Patients who were admitted to the ICU or died in hospital were included in the poor clinical prognosis (PCP) group. When hematological and biochemical parameters were compared, white cell, neutrophil, platelet counts, glucose, urea, creatinine and bilirubin levels were significantly higher and lymphocyte count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, sodium and chlorine levels were lower in the PCP group. Moreover, sedimentation, C Reactive Protein (CRP), ferritin, High Sensitive Troponin I, D-dimer and lactate levels were significantly higher among patients with a poor prognosis. We assessed and identified the more important potential early indicators of prognosis mentioned in the literature that are applicable in the emergency setting. In light of this information, we aimed to establish a basis for the development of future scoring systems.

Published: October 2022

COVID-19 has emerged as a serious public health problem in recent times. It is an infectious disease caused by a novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The place of origin of this virus is Wuhan city, China in late December 2019, has spread throughout the world rapidly. There are two important classes of the Coronavirus affecting human beings: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS). Coronavirus is a positive-sense, single-stranded RNA (+ssRNA) virus. Diagnosis of the COVID-19 is done by taking a nasal swab, tracheal aspirate or bronchoalveolar samples and RT-PCR. COVID-19 treatment generally depends on the severity and/or the health status of the infected patient. The treatment strategy, so far, includes the use of antiviral drugs. Clinical trials of vaccines were started in early 2020 by different companies and some are released that are in use. Preventive measures are social/physical distancing, masking and isolation of infected individuals. Although educational systems have used various learning management systems there are concerns about the online teaching system in comparison to the traditional classroom teaching system. In this review, we have tried to analyze the impact of COVID- 19 on the health systems worldwide and other aspects of human life

Many countries have started their vaccination program against the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. One of these countries, the Republic of Turkey began to use the CoronaVac® vaccine and a large number of people in the country have been vaccinated so far. The efficacy rate of CoronaVac® vaccine 14 days after two doses was reported as 83% for cases requiring medical treatment and 100% for hospitalization or severe- mortal cases. In addition, in a recent study, it was reported that Coronavac vaccine prevented 86.5% death due to covid-19 in the population over 60 years old, 14 days after receiving two doses of CoronaVac. The effectiveness of the vaccine in subgroups such as patients exposed to SARS- CoV-2 virus in less than 14 days, advanced age, comorbidity, and immunosuppression is not yet known. In addition, its effectiveness against different variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is not clear. An 85-year-old female patient with a positive SARS-CoV-2 Variant VOC-202012/01 Polymerase Chain Reaction test was admitted to the emergency department with dyspnea. The patient, whose tachycardia, tachypnea and auxiliary respiratory muscle use continued despite 60 L / min of 100% oxygen therapy with a high flow nasal cannula and whose PaO2 / fiO2 ratio was 63, was intubated. Bilateral widespread multifocal ground glass densities consistent with COVID-19 were observed in the thorax computed tomography. The patient, who was followed up in the intensive care unit, died on the 11th day of her follow-up. There are no cases of severe COVID-19 disease reported in the literature yet after the CoronaVac® vaccine. In this case report, we present a severe COVID-19 patient with a positive PCR test for SARS-CoV-2 Variant VOC-202012/01 11 days after the second dose of CoronaVac® administration.

Published: October 2022

Ashy dermatosis-like hyperpigmentation Erythema dyschromicum perstans (EDP), also known as ashy dermatosis, is a hypermelanotic condition characterised by the development of a slate-grey macula in otherwise healthy individuals. Here, we describe sudden-onset EDP in a 19-year-old male patient.His lesions had started 3 months ago and increased in the last 2 weeks. Dermatological examination revealed pigmented macules and patches of different sizes, which tended to coalesce, on the back and anterior aspect of the trunk. The lesions did not regress after local treatment with a prescribed corticosteroid cream of moderate potency. The patient was free from systemic disease, was not taking any drugs and had no relevant family history. Histopathological examination of lesional biopsy tissue from the back and anterior of the trunk revealed EDP, characterised by vacuolar degeneration of the basal layer, mild lymphohistiocytic inflammatory cell infiltration around the vessels in the upper dermis, melanophages, pigment incontinence, and low-level lymphocyte exocytosis in the epithelium. Dapsone (100 mg/day) controlled the lesions. EDP is a rare dermatosis, for which differential diagnosis and treatment may thus sometimes be inadequate.

Authors: Антонова Марина Вячеславовна
Published: October 2022

Данная статья посвящена изучению влияния демографического фактора на финансово-экономические результаты функционирования региона. Несмотря на достаточное внимание в научном сообществе к изучению демографического фактора, довольно слабо проработана оценка влияния географического, гендерного и возрастного критериев на финансово-экономические результаты функционирования региона. В рамках данной статьи результаты экономики региона разделены на три уровня, образовавших «пирамиду финансово-экономических результатов региона». Целью исследования является исследование влияния географического, гендерного и возрастного критериев демографического фактора на финансово-экономические результаты региона. Для исследования использовались статистические методы: ряды динамики, метод корреляционного анализа и другие. Исследование проведено по данным Белгородской области за 2011–2020 годы. В результате исследования выявлено, что географический и гендерный критерии не оказывают влияния на показатели «пирамиды финансово-экономических результатов региона», однако между возрастным критерием демографического фактора и результирующими показателями выявлена сильная корреляционная взаимосвязь, которая уменьшается по мере повышения уровня «пирамиды финансово-экономических результатов региона».

Published: October 2022

SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19, binds to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE-2) receptor to infect human cells. Glial cells, and neurons in the brain have been reported to contain ACE-2 receptors, making them potential targets of SARS-CoV-2. This provides neurotrophic properties to the SARS-CoV-2. Encephalitis is defined as inflammation of the brain parenchyma caused by an infection or the body's immune defenses. In this article, we present a case of encephalitis, which was brought with cognitive impairment and decreased responsiveness, which may be associated with SARS-CoV-2 as a result of the evaluations.

Published: October 2022

Resimlerde benzerlik (intihal) kontrolü resimlerin her geçen gün bilgi içeriğinin daha fazla artması ve telif haklarının yaygınlaşmasından dolayı önemli bir hale gelmiştir. Hali hazırda yapılan akademik çalışmalarda metin tabanlı benzerlik tespiti yapan yazılımları bulunmakta olup bu çalışmalardaki resimler ile ilgili olarak bir benzerlik tespiti yapılamamaktadır. Akademik çalışmalarda ne kadar fikirler ve metinler alınırken atıf yapılıp kaynakça göstermek gerekir ise resimler (tablolar, sonuçlar, grafikler vb.) alınırken de aynı şekilde atıf yapılıp kaynak gösterilmelidir. Bu çalışmada resimlerde benzerlik tespiti için resim hashleme (image hashing) yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Resimlerde benzerlik tespiti için birçok yöntem ve metot bulunmaktadır. Yapılacak sistem için en uygun yöntemin Algısal Kıyım (Perceptual Hashing) olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Geleneksel görüntü işleme metotlarının bu noktada başarı oranının yüksek olmasının yanında dezavantaj olarak sistem hızına negatif yönde bir etki sunacağı düşünülüp gözlemlendiği için tercih edilmemiştir.
interpretative phenomenological analysis of burnout among British police officers
Authors: Thomas Donna Louise
Published: October 2022

Burnout is defined as a syndrome of emotional exhaustion, depersonalisation and reduced efficacy (Maslach & Jackson, 1981). With burnout becoming increasingly prevalent within policing, this study aimed to expand awareness by exploring the lived experience of this syndrome for serving officers. Utilising a qualitative approach, data was derived from five participants using semi-structured interviews and an interpretative phenomenological methodology (IPA) for analysis. Six categories of themes emerged: perceived causes, personal impact factors, experiencing burnout, changed feelings and behaviour, the underlying meaning, and learning derived from the experience. Participants perceived organisational issues as the main cause of their burnout. They also described other aspects of their experience which contributed towards their long-term suffering. The relationship between burnout and spiritual crisis is discussed, an area rarely explored, but one that provides rich material for those focused on burnout research. It is hoped that this study will help inform work-based solutions and provide a platform for future investigation.

Published: October 2022

Nüfus artışı ve sanayinin gelişimine paralel olarak artan enerji ihtiyacının günümüzde sınırlı rezerve ulaşmış olan fosil tabanlı enerji kaynaklarıyla karşılanmasında yaşanan enerji bunalımı, bu kaynaklara alternatif olan temiz ve çevre dostu yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanımını gündeme getirmektedir. Bu kaynaklar arasında barındırdığı potansiyel ve çevresel özellikleriyle güneş enerjisi kullanımı giderek yaygınlaşmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Bursa ili Nilüfer ilçesinde yer alan 250 m2 kullanım alanına sahip bir villanın elektrik ihtiyacını güneş enerjisi ile karşılamak üzere şebekeye bağlı ve şebekeden bağımsız olarak sabit ve hareketli enerji sistemlerinin kurulumu ve maliyet analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yapılan çalışma sonucunda, şebekeye bağlı sabit sistemin villaya uygulanabilecek en uygun sistem olduğu ve bu sistemin maliyetinin 10.363 $ değerinde olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sabit sistemlerin hareketli sistemlere kıyasla daha uygun maliyete, şebekeye bağlı sabit bir sistemin şebekeden bağımsız sabit sistemle kıyasla yaklaşık %52 oranında daha düşük maliyete sahip olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
A Novel Operator to Solve Decision-Making Problems Under Trapezoidal Fuzzy Multi Numbers and Its Application
Authors: KESEN Davut , DELİ İrfan
Published: October 2022

This article investigates solutions to multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) problems in which the attribute values take the form of trapezoidal fuzzy multi-numbers. To do this, this paper proposes a kind of mean aggregation operator called the Bonferroni harmonic mean operator for aggregating trapezoidal fuzzy information. Then, an approach that is a solution algorithm has been developed to find a solution to multi-attribute decision-making problems. Afterwards, an illustrative example has been given to verify the developed approach and to show its usefulness and efficiency. Finally, a comparison table has been presented to compare the proposed method with some existing methods.

Published: October 2022

A forma de enfrentamento das doenças que atingem mulheres de áreas rurais está relacionada, além do território em que vivem, às suas condições socioeconômicas. Também estão sujeitas a enfrentamentos singulares em relação ao tratamento do câncer. Assim, a presente pesquisa, objetivou identificar as dificuldades enfrentadas por mulheres em tratamento oncológico em uma comunidade rural de um município da Região Oeste do Estado do Paraná. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa realizada no ano de 2018, seguindo um roteiro de entrevista semiestruturado. Ao analisar os depoimentos, surgiram seis tópicos acerca das dificuldades enfrentadas: efeitos colaterais, distúrbios de imagem, falta de informações, trabalho e implicações na vida diária, situação financeira e transporte. Portanto, o entendimento da complexidade da ruralidade é um dos determinantes para o processo de melhor manejo dos efeitos colaterais e implicações do tratamento oncológico e implica em ser aspecto fundante de planos terapêuticos domiciliares.
Variação e mudança linguísticas: olhares sociolinguísticos
Authors: Teodoro da Silva Cláudia
Published: October 2022

Este estudo teve como objetivo apresentar um panorama dos estudos sociolinguísticos para abordar os desdobramentos do fenômeno da variação na sua relação com a mudança linguística. Para tanto, inscreveu-se na pesquisa bibliográfica, levantando as principais contribuições científicas sobre o tema presentes na literatura. Nesse percurso, dialogou com trabalhos de Tarallo, Tarallo e Duarte, Matos e Silva, Alckmin, Chagas, Beline, entre outros pesquisadores que abordam a temática. Fenômenos advindos dos reflexos do elemento social nos usos reais que os falantes fazem da língua, a mudança implica sempre uma variação, mas nem toda variação implica uma mudança. Além disso, a mudança é sempre um processo gradual de substituição de uma forma por outra na língua.

O Sistema Nacional de Unidades de Conservação - SNUC, traduz o seu principal objetivo em conservar efetivamente a natureza de maneira eficaz e eficiente. Em consonância com este sistema, o Ceará criou em 2011 sua legislação específica baseada no Sistema Estadual de Unidades de Conservação – SEUC, o qual deverá abranger a maior diversidade possível de ecossistemas naturais existentes no território estadual. Esta pesquisa objetiva destacar as unidades de conservação presentes no sul cearense, avaliando a efetividade da elaboração do plano de manejo e apresentar a área territorial. Foram selecionadas as regiões administrativas: Cariri, Centro-sul e Sertão dos Inhamuns. Através do portal CEUC/CE verificou-se as UCs presentes nessas áreas, destacando os decretos de criação, área territorial, presença ou não do plano de manejo e as poligonais do mapa. O sul do Ceará possui 22 UCs, divididas entre uso integral e sustentável, as quais representam uma área total de 555.229,56 hectares, equivalente a 41,43% de toda área protegida do estado. Destas 22, somente 1 possui o plano de manejo, enquanto 07 estão dentro do prazo de elaboração (5 anos), e outras 14 possuem atraso de acordo com a legislação.
VarioGram – A colorful time-graph representation for time series
Authors: AKSU Serkan , TÜRKER İlker
Published: October 2022

In this study, a framework for network-based representation of time series is presented. In the proposed method, initially, a segmentation procedure is completed by dividing the signals in the time domain into fixed-width time windows with 50% overlap. Each segment is normalized based on the range defined by the absolute maximum amplitude value of the main signal and its negative counterpart, and the normalized signals are quantized to 2^n levels. This transformation, proceeding through 3 channels expressed by 3 different jump values, generates a vertical RGB image representation by combining the channels in layers. As a result of tiling these vertical RGB images from each time window horizontally, a time-graph representation called VarioGram is obtained, where the horizontal axis represents time, and the vertical axis represents signal fluctuations. Feeding a ResNet model with VarioGram representations obtained by the transformation of the audio signals in the ESC-10 dataset which is frequently used in environmental sound classification problems, a classification success of 82.08% has been obtained, while this success has been 93.33% with the VarioGram representations hybridized with mel-spectrogram images. The VarioGram representations therefore acted to slightly improve the highest classification success achievable with the mel-spectrogram alone.

Published: October 2022

The article is devoted to the discussion of the last days of Nosirkhantura Kamolkhanturaev, one of the national leaders who was at the forefront of the struggle for the liberation of Turkestan in the 1930s. The analysis includes a number of articles and studies published in the press about the short life of this great scientist and his scientific and creative heritage. In particular, the memoirs of the contemporary artist Vadud Mahmud “Devmard”, dedicated to the last days of the life of Nosirkhantor Kamolkhanturaev, are devoted to the events that took place during his direct imprisonment with Nosirkhantor Kamolkhanturaev in a Tashkent prison in 1930-1931. Vadud Mahmud witnessed Alloma's mental state on the eve of his execution, which he witnessed with bitter memories. In his memoirs Nosirkhantur Kamolkhanturaev conducted a comparative analysis of the date and year of his arrest with all the facts and figures given in the article by the historian B. Irzaev about Nosirkhantur Kamolkhanturaev. The reliability of these memoirs is scientifically substantiated, as well as the fact that these memoirs of Vadud Mahmud are of great importance as a source that illuminates the last days of the life of a famous scientist.
