This study was based on agency theory and the theory of capital structure. The development of agency theory that describes the ownership structure can affect firm performance by adjusting the way the agency conflict between management and shareholders in capital structure theory describes that the debt could obtain tax savings, but on the other hand it may cause financial distress costs. This study aims to determine the effect of stock ownership structure and financial condition of debt policy. Shareholding structure consists of managerial ownership and institutional ownership. The financial condition of the company consists of the company's growth, the value of the pledged assets, and liabilities other than tax savings. The population of this research are manufacturing companies go public to be listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI). The sample was based on purposive sampling method based on certain criteria, there are 73 companies that qualify as research samples. Data were collected from 73 companies, from 2005 until 2007, so we get the unit of analysis pooling data with 219 observations. Based on the results of regression analysis, the first managerial ownership has a negative but not significant effect on debt policy. Both institutional ownership has a negative and significant impact on debt policy. All three firms have positive growth and no significant effect on debt policy. The fourth company was pledged assets has positive and significant impact on debt policy. Fifth tax savings than debt significantly and negatively related to debt policy.

KEBIJAKAN IMPOR DAN PERSAINGAN USAHA KOMODITAS GARAM MASA AWAL PRESIDEN JOKOWI-JK TAHUN 2015-2016
Authors: Rahman Asrul
Published: June 2022

This study aims to describe the political dynamics in the formulation of salt import policies in Indonesia during the early administrationin Jokowi-JK 2015-2016 which were characterized by the practice of unfair business competition in the form of rent-seeking and monopoly. The primary questions that will guide the researcher are (1) what is the portrait of salt import policy during the early Jokowi-JK administration? and (2) how the relationship between private actors and bureaucratic ones in the domain of salt import policy through the Regulation of Indonesian Trade Ministry No. 125/2015?As qualitative research with a descriptive approach, this research utilizes in-depth interviews, observation, document tracking, and document analysis techniques in which a number of bureaucrats, entrepreneurs, and salt farmers were used as informants to mine the data.The results of this study show that Nawacita's priority agenda in the form of an economic policy package became the main foundation for the formulation of import policy (the Regulation of Indonesian Trade MinistryNo. 125/2015) which requires the government to abolish recommendations for import permits from the Ministry of Industry, import quotas, time of imports, and absorption of people's salt. As a result, political turmoil arose among salt farmers who considered the government reluctant to protect the salt of the people but instead prioritized the interests of entrepreneurs. Through such a policy, the state facilitated PT. Garam carries out a monopoly on the import of consumption salt to bring about the practice of unfair business competition between salt importers.This kind of political dynamics increasingly emphasizes that the formulation of public policies that do not go through a "fair" mechanism often enables the emergence of unfair business practices, monopoly, and rent-seeking.

Authors: Castellví Jordi , Escribano Carmen , Santos Rodrigo , Marolla Jesús
Published: June 2022

The images of the future among young people have been conditioned by the stories present in the media, films, books, and also in school. Educational curriculums are made up of a selection of knowledge that privileges some ways of understanding the future over others. Young people often imagine a future that is in economic, social, and/or climate crisis. However, they also imagine a bright future for themselves, detached from the future they imagine for society. In this article, we present a qualitative analysis of the curriculums of Australia, Spain, and Chile, together with interviews with teachers from these countries. We investigate the presence and absence of futures education in these curriculums, their degree of development regarding futures education, and make a first analysis of the influence of futures education in schools. To do this we identify four dimensions: situate in time, anticipate, imagine alternative futures, and social action. The results show that, while the Australian curriculum explicitly includes education for the future, the Spanish and Chilean curriculum include it only tangentially. In addition, the socio-cultural context of schools and the will of the teaching staff are elements that determine the implementation of futures education in the school context.

Diversos estudios nos indican que las imágenes del futuro que tienen los jóvenes están condicionadas por los relatos presentes en los medios de comunicación, las películas, los libros y también en la escuela. Los currículos educativos incluyen una selección de contenidos que privilegian unas formas de entender el futuro por encima de otras. Los jóvenes suelen representar un futuro en crisis económica, social y/o climática. Sin embargo, estos imaginan para sí mismos un futuro brillante, totalmente desligado del futuro de la sociedad. En este artículo presentamos un análisis cualitativo de carácter descriptivo e interpretativo de los currículos de Australia, España y Chile, junto con entrevistas a docentes de estos países, para estudiar la presencia y ausencia de la educación para el futuro en sus planes de estudios, así como su grado de desarrollo, y hacer un primer análisis de la influencia de la educación para el futuro en las escuelas. Para ello identificamos cuatro dimensiones: situar en el tiempo, anticipar, imaginar futuros alternativos y actuar socialmente. Los resultados muestran que, mientras que el currículo australiano incluye de forma explícita la educación para el futuro, el currículo español y chileno la incluyen solo de forma tangencial. Además, el contexto sociocultural del centro y la voluntad del profesorado son elementos que determinan el desarrollo de la educación para el futuro en la escuela.

Authors: Hejaz Hatem A. , Nawajah Inad , Wredat Maaly , Melhem Walaa
Published: June 2022

Background:

Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) outbreak is a global concern and the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared it as a public health emergency of international concern.

Objectives:

This study aimed to assess knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) toward COVID-19 among the general population of Palestine at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Materials and Methods:

A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire; a series of questions regarding the KAP of the population about COVID-19 was asked, and participants’ demographic characteristics and source of information regarding COVID-19 were collected and analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software program, version 26.0.

Results:

Seven hundred twenty-four individuals participated in this study. The average age of the participants was 28 years (standard deviation [SD] = 10.7), the majority were females 558 (77.1%), with a bachelor’s degree 480 (66.3%), and 229 (31.6%) students. Most of them from Hebron governorate 609 (84.1%) and many of them reported that they wear a mask when they leave their house and avoid shaking hands, 494 (68.2%), 424 (58.6%), respectively. The results indicate that Palestinians have a good level of knowledge about COVID-19 with a positive attitude and good compliance with Palestinian government measures. The result showed a significant correlation between female gender, higher age, and higher education with KAP. However, male gender, nonhealth-care-related professions, single, and lower level of education were significantly associated with lower knowledge scores. There was no clear satisfaction with the government’s role in limiting and controlling the spread of COVID-19.

Conclusions:

Palestinian population showed decent knowledge, appropriate practice, and a positive attitude toward the COVID-19 outbreak.
Expression of tissue PSA in breast cancer is associated with less aggressive disease and lower chance of tumor relapse
Authors: Hachim Ibrahim Yaseen , Hachim Mahmood Yaseen , López-Ozuna Vanessa Michel , Al-Hadithi Raji H. M.
Published: June 2022

Background:

Human kallikrein 3 (hK3), also known as Prostatic specific antigen (PSA), was considered as one of the most useful markers for the detection as well as management of prostate cancer. While PSA was thought to be a prostatic tissue-specific protein, many reports suggest the presence of extraprostatic PSA in different tissues, including the breast. Few reports showed PSA immunoreactivity in breast cancer tissues and suggest a favorable prognostic role of PSA in breast cancer. However, most of those studies were not conclusive or restricted to small scale studies limiting their clinical significance.

Methods:

We used a bioinformatical approach to investigate the association between tissue PSA expression levels and different clinicopathological parameters in breast cancer using different publicly available databases. Further validation was done using our patient cohort of 40 surgical breast samples obtained from patients attending Al Kadhemyia Teaching Hospital – Iraq.

Results:

Using a cohort of 593 breast lesion samples extracted from the TCGA database using the ONCOMINE database, our results showed no significant upregulation of PSA mRNA levels in breast cancer samples compared to healthy tissue (P = 0.1). The same trend was also observed in our patient cohort with positive immunoreactivity in 50% (5 samples) of benign lesions compared to 36.66% (11 samples) in breast cancer samples. In addition, investigating the correlation between mRNA PSA expression and different clinicopathological parameters using the Breast Cancer Gene-Expression Miner v4.0 database and ONCOMINE databases, revealed a significant association between PSA expression and tumor grade (P = 0.0001), breast cancer subtype (P < 0.0001), in addition to early-stage disease presented as smaller tumor size and absence of LN involvement. The same trend confirmed with our patient cohort. Moreover, our analysis using KM plotter (4000 breast cancer samples) showed a significant association between higher PSA mRNA levels and favorable patient outcomes presented as prolonged relapse-free survival (RFS) (P < 0.0001).

Conclusions:

Our results clearly demonstrate the possibility of using tissue mRNA and protein levels of PSA as a marker to identify patients with a favorable outcome and lower risk of tumor recurrence. Our results also highlight the need for more efforts to investigate the biological role of PSA in breast cancer.
Comparing Different Doses of Dexmedetomidine Combined with Ropivacaine for Ultrasound-Guided Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block in Upper Limb Surgeries - A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial
Authors: Akshara P. , Govindan Dilip Kumar , Govindasamy Jagan , Arif Mohamed , Sethuraman Raghuraman M.
Published: June 2022

Background:

Dexmedetomidine is used as an adjuvant to local anesthetic agents to provide prolonged analgesia in peripheral nerve blocks. This study aimed at determining the optimal dose of dexmedetomidine, which when combined with ropivacaine will produce a superior quality block in terms of extended pain-free period and reduced perioperative analgesic/opioid use, which in turn improves patient satisfaction.

Objective:

The objective of the study is to assess the duration of analgesia with two different doses (25 μg and 50 μg) of dexmedetomidine with ropivacaine in supraclavicular brachial plexus block.

Subjects and Methods:

This prospective randomized controlled study included 50 patients undergoing upper limb surgeries under supraclavicular brachial plexus block randomly divided into two groups. Group D25 received 29 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine +25 μg dexmedetomidine diluted in 1 mL of normal saline (total 30 mL); Group D50 received 29 mL of 0.5% ropivacaine +50 μg dexmedetomidine diluted in 1 mL of normal saline (total 30 mL). Onset and duration of sensorimotor block, duration of analgesia, and time interval for the rescue analgesia and hemodynamic stability were observed.

Results:

The mean onset of motor and sensory block was significantly higher in the D25 group (P = 0.001). The Visual Analog Scale pain scores and rescue analgesia consumption were significantly lower in the D50 group (P = 0.013, 0.001). The duration of analgesia was significantly higher in the D50 group (P = 0.001).

Conclusion:

Dexmedetomidine 50 μg is an effective adjuvant dose to ropivacaine with insignificant hemodynamic changes with better duration of analgesia and lesser pain scores.
Perioperative Adverse Respiratory Events in Children with Obstructive Sleep Apnoea
Authors: Thampi Swapna , Chong Shang Yee , Pawar Dilip Kumar
Published: June 2022

Background:

Obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA) in children is associated with the development of perioperative adverse respiratory events. The aim of our study was to find out the incidence of perioperative adverse respiratory events, to identify the risk predictors and to determine the appropriate anaesthetic agents in children with OSA.

Methods

After obtaining approval from the the Institutional Review Board, 189 children with OSA who had undergone adenotonsillectomy between 2004 and 2009 were selected from a retrospective review of case files. Variables recorded included demographic data, coexistent medical illnesses, anaesthetic techniques (including induction agents and muscle relaxants) and perioperative analgesia. The severity of OSA was determined based on polysomnographic criteria. Adverse events including difficult airway, desaturation due to bronchospasm or laryngospasm, postoperative desaturation and unplanned intensive care unit (ICU) admission occurring up to 24 h postoperatively were recorded.

Results

The incidence of perioperative respiratory adverse events was 19.6%. Severe OSA (odds ratio [OR] 5.8; 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.8–18.53; P = 0.003) and moderate OSA (OR 3.9; 95% CI 1.1–13.1; P = 0.029) were independent risk factors associated with complications. There was no correlation between the intraoperative anaesthetic techniques or use of perioperative opioid analgesics and the perioperative adverse respiratory events.

Conclusions

Preoperative diagnosis of OSA using polysomnography has been shown to identify children who are at increased risk of perioperative adverse respiratory events in children. In our review, 19.6% of children with OSA were at risk. The use of a severity index may better identify children at higher risk.

This study aimed to assess (1) the reproducibility of three sperm chromatin dispersion (SCD) assays for sperm DNA fragmentation, i.e., LensHooke R10® (R10), Halosperm G2® (G2), and BASO® (BA); (2) the correlation between computer-assisted semen analyzer (CASA) morphokinematic parameters and sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI), and (3) the diagnostic value for male reproduction by combining semen morphokinematic parameters and DFI. Total 50 male participants were recruited, and all collected semen samples underwent semen analyses and SCD assays. Intra- and inter-observer variability of DFI data from different SCD measures was tested. In addition, the predictive ability of CASA parameters and DFI (with different cutoffs, i.e., 15% and 20%) for infertility was assessed using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. We found that the G2 and R10 produced satisfactory variance coefficients (5.53%, 5.67%) compared to BA (14.8%). The DFI data from the R10 had lower intra-observer variability, in terms of higher intra-class coefficient (0.9615), than that of the G2 (0.8847) or BA (0.8824). Inter-observer variability of three SCD kits in scoring the DFI was comparable and satisfactory (concordance correlation coefficients ranging 0.9895–0.9630). The CASA parameters (i.e., total motility [r = −0.57], progression motility [r = −0.55], and rapidly progressive motility [r = −0.55]) were significantly correlated with DFI (P < 0.001). The predictive ability of the 15%-cutoff DFI data was better than that of the 20%-cutoff or continuous DFI data. The model comprising the CASA parameters, 15%-cutoff DFI, and 4%-cutoff normal morphology had the highest area under curve (0.8125) for infertility. For SCD assay, the R10 was the most reliable SCD assay to detect sperm DNA fragmentation. Combining the sperm DFI with CASA parameters might be a better diagnostic tool for male reproduction.

Published: June 2022

Gomisin A is a dietary lignan compound isolated from the fruit of Schisandra chinensis and has many pharmacological properties, including hepato-protective, anti-diabetic, and anti-oxidative activities. However, the benefit of gomisin A is still not well understood. The action of gomisin A is diverse. However, the effect of gomisin A on Ca2+ signaling in prostate cancer cells is unknown. Ca2+ is a pivotal second envoy that triggers and regulates cellular processes such as apoptosis, fertilization, energy transduction, secretion, and protein activation. The goal of this study was to explore the action of gomisin A on [Ca2+]i and cytotoxicity in PC3 prostate cancer cells. Gomisin A at 100–200 μM provoked [Ca2+]i raises. 20% of the response was reduced by removing external Ca2+. The Ca2+ influx provoked by gomisin A was suppressed by 20% by store-caused Ca2+ entry suppressors: econazole, SKF96365, nifedipine; also by phorbol 12-myristate 13 acetate and GF109203X. Without external Ca2+, gomisin A-caused [Ca2+]i raises were abolished by thapsigargin. In contrast, gomisin A suppressed the [Ca2+]i raises caused by thapsigargin. U73122 fell short to change gomisin A-caused [Ca2+]i responses. Gomisin A (20–100 μM) elicited cytotoxicity in a dose-associated fashion. Blockade of [Ca2+] elevations with 1,2-bis(2-aminophenoxy)ethane-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid/acetoxy methyl failed to inhibit cytotoxicity of gomisin A. Collectively, gomisin A evoked [Ca2+]i raises and provoked cytotoxicity in a Ca2+-dissociated fashion in prostate cancer cells.

Authors: Chen Chien-Min , Chen Pei-Chen , Chen Ying-Chieh , Wang Guan-Chyuan
Published: June 2022

Objectives:

The transforaminal and interlaminar approaches are the two main surgical corridors of full endoscopic lumbar surgery. However, there are no quantifying methods for assessing the best surgical approach for each patient. This study aimed to establish an artificial intelligence (AI) model using an artificial neural network (ANN).

Materials and Methods:

Patients who underwent full endoscopic lumbar spinal surgery were enrolled in this research. Fourteen pre-operative factors were fed into the ANN. A three-layer deep neural network was constructed. Patient data were divided into the training, validation, and testing datasets.

Results:

There were 899 patients enrolled. The accuracy of the training, validation, and test datasets were 87.3%, 85.5%, and 85.0%, respectively. The positive predictive values for the transforaminal and interlaminar approaches were 85.1% and 89.1%, respectively. The area under the curve of the receiver operating characteristic was 0.91. The SHapley Additive exPlanations algorithm was utilized to explain the relative importance of each factor. The surgical lumbar level was the most important factor, followed by herniated disc localization and migrating disc zone level.

Conclusion:

ANN can effectively learn from the choice of an experienced spinal endoscopic surgeon and can accurately predict the appropriate surgical approach.
Zeros in the character tables of symmetric groups with an -core index
Authors: McSpirit Eleanor , Ono Ken
Published: June 2022

Let
$\mathcal {C}_n =\left [\chi _{\lambda }(\mu )\right ]_{\lambda , \mu }$
be the character table for
$S_n,$
where the indices
$\lambda $
and
$\mu $
run over the
$p(n)$
many integer partitions of

In this note, we study
$Z_{\ell }(n),$
the number of zero entries
$\chi _{\lambda }(\mu )$
in
$\mathcal {C}_n,$
where
$\lambda $
is an
$\ell $
-core partition of
$n.$
For every prime
$\ell \geq 5,$
we prove an asymptotic formula of the form
$$ \begin{align*}Z_{\ell}(n)\sim \alpha_{\ell}\cdot \sigma_{\ell}(n+\delta_{\ell})p(n)\gg_{\ell} n^{\frac{\ell-5}{2}}e^{\pi\sqrt{2n/3}}, \end{align*} $$
where
$\sigma _{\ell }(n)$
is a twisted Legendre symbol divisor function,
$\delta _{\ell }:=(\ell ^2-1)/24,$
and
$1/\alpha _{\ell }>0$
is a normalization of the Dirichlet L-value
$L\left (\left ( \frac {\cdot }{\ell } \right ),\frac {\ell -1}{2}\right ).$
For primes
$\ell $
and
$n>\ell ^6/24,$
we show that
$\chi _{\lambda }(\mu )=0$
whenever
$\lambda $
and
$\mu $
are both
$\ell $
-cores. Furthermore, if
$Z^*_{\ell }(n)$
is the number of zero entries indexed by two

, we obtain the asymptotic
$$ \begin{align*}Z^*_{\ell}(n)\sim \alpha_{\ell}^2 \cdot \sigma_{\ell}( n+\delta_{\ell})^2 \gg_{\ell} n^{\ell-3}. \end{align*} $$

Amaç: Bu çalışma kadınların kolostrum bilgisini değerlendirmek üzere yapılmıştır.

Yöntem: Niteliksel durum çalışması olarak 15.11.2021-30.12.2021 tarihleri arasında yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya bir Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi’nin Kadın Doğum Polikliniğine başvuran ve emziren kadınlar(N=27) katılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında; Tanıtıcı Bilgi ve Yarı Yapılandırılmış Görüşme Formu kullanılmış olup, yapılan görüşmeler ses kayıt cihazına kaydedilmiştir. Verilerin değerlendirilmesinde içerik analizi yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Yazıya dökülen veriler önce benzer şekilde kodlanmış ve bir kod listesi oluşturulmasının ardından temalar ve alt temalar ortaya çıkarılmıştır.

Bulgular: Araştırma verileri; Emzirme bilgisi, Emzirmenin Önemi, Kolostrum hakkındaki bilgileri, Emzirme ve kolostrum konusundaki gereksinimler olmak üzere dört ana tema altında toplanmıştır. Kadınların

emzirme eğitimi almadıkları, emzirme bilgisinin ana kaynağının sağlık profesyonelleri olduğu, emzirmenin en önemli etkilerini anne-bebek bağını ve bağışıklığı güçlendirme olarak ifade ettikleri, kolostrumu sıklıkla doğumdan sonraki ilk süt olarak tanımladıkları, kolostrumun bebeğe en önemli faydasını bağışıklığı güçlendirme olarak gördükleri, kolostrumun renk ve kıvamını sarı ve yoğun olarak tarif ettikleri, gebelikte uygulamalı eğitimler ile sağlık profesyonelleri tarafından bilgi ve danışmanlık hizmeti verilmesini talep ettikleri saptanmıştır

Sonuç: Kadınların emzirmenin öneminin farkında oldukları, kolostrum ve emzirme hakkında genel bilgilerinin olduğu, ancak emzirme konusunda gebelik döneminden başlayan özellikle uygulamalı eğitimlere gereksinim duyulduğu, sağlık profesyonellerinin bilgilendirme ve danışmanlık konusuna daha fazla önem vermesi, kadınlarla daha fazla temas etmesi gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.

Hadislerde Yevm-i Şek (Şek Günü) Orucu
Authors: YILMAZ Fatih Mehmet
Published: June 2022

İslâm’da emredilen ve tavsiye edilen oruçların yanı sıra belirli zaman ve durumlarda yasaklanmış veya tutulması hoş karşılanmamış oruçlar da söz konusu olmuştur. Ramazan ayının başladığına hükmedilemediği şâban ayının otuzuncu günü (yevm-i şek) orucu da bunlardan birisidir. Hz. Peygamber, Allah Teâlâ’nın hilâlleri insanların vakitleri ayarlamaları için tahsis ettiğinden bahsetmiş, prensip olarak hilâlin görülmesi ile oruca başlanılmasını, havanın bulutlu olması durumunda ise herhangi bir şüphenin meydana gelmemesi için ayın miktarının takdir/hesap edilmesini istemiştir. Buna rağmen şek günü tutulacak/tutulan oruçla ile ilgili birbirinden farklı rivayetler varid olmuş hatta bu durum mezhep içtihatlarına da yansımıştır. Netice itibarıyla hem sahâbe hem de tâbiîn ve etbâu’t-tâbiîn dönemlerinde söz konusu güne denk gelen mutat oruç hariç oruç tutmayı mekruh addeden; oruç tutulabileceğini söyleyen ve meydana gelebilecek ihtilafların önüne geçmek üzere idarenin kararının dikkate alınmasını savunan üç temel görüş ve uygulama ortaya çıkmıştır. İşte bu makalede Hz. Peygamber, sahâbe, tâbiîn ve sonrası döneme ilişkin yevm-i şek’de tutulan oruçla alakalı rivayetler pratiğe yansıyan taraflarıyla ele alınıp incelenmiş ve son olarak mezhep imamlarının görüşlerine de yer verilmiştir.

TOPLUMSAL BELGECİLİK İLE ÇAĞDAŞ SANATIN KESİŞMESİ BAĞLAMINDA SUSAN MEISELAS VE “TARİHİ YENİDEN ÇERÇEVELEMEK” ÇALIŞMASI
Authors: UZUN UYSAL Ebru Ceren
Published: June 2022

Rönesans’ın ardından gelen aydınlanma süreci, insanoğlunun birçok alanda olduğu gibi sanatta da ilerlemesine ve kendini ifade etme biçimlerinde de farklılığa yol açmıştır. Öncelikle tasvir saray ve onun ön gördüğü konuların dışına çıkmış, gündelik hayatı kompozisyonlarının içine almıştır. Gündelik hayatın sanatın içerisine girmesi ile kayıt tutma alışkanlığı plastik sanatları da kendi kapsamına dahil etmiştir. Fotoğrafın keşfi, kendisine paralel olarak hızını artıran gündelik hayatın hızına yetişmek, onu daha hızlı, daha net ve daha tarafsız kaydetmek için adeta bir gereklilik olmuştur. Öncelikle “ideal toplum” inşasının bir öğesi olarak devletin elinde bir belgeleme aygıtı olan fotoğraf, yoğun kullanım ve dolayısıyla teknolojik açıdan hızlı gelişmesi nedeniyle hızlı bir şekilde bireysel kullanım alanına da girmiştir. Bu bireysel kullanım önceleri çok yadırgansa da sonraları daha tarafsız, daha çağdaş ve daha nesnel konuların ve bakış açılarının fotoğrafın alanına girmesine olanak sağlamıştır. Bunlardan en önemlisi “Toplumsal Belgecilik”tir. Toplumsal belge, içinde bulunduğumuz yüzyılda da devam eder şekilde, geçtiğimiz yüzyılda yaşanmış tüm felaket ve savaşların kaydını tutarak, insanoğlunun bu acıları tekrar yaşamaması için üstüne düşen görevi yerine getirmiştir. Bu bağlamda Susan Meiselas toplumsal belgeciliğin önde gelen temsilcilerinden biri olmuştur. Meiselas kendi çevresinden başlayarak tanık olduğu sosyal hayatı tarafsızlık ile yansıtmış, sonrasında bu anlatım dilini geliştirerek daha evrensel konuları izleyiciye aktarmayı kendine görev edinmiştir. Bu görevi başarıyla yerine getiren sanatçı, aynı zamanda fotoğrafın çağdaş sunum biçimleri ile de her yeni nesle ulaşabilecek şekilde kendini yenilemiş ve bu neslin belleğini tazeleyerek aynı sorunların tekrar yaşanmaması için elinden geleni yapmıştır.

Published: June 2022

Objective: Few studies have investigated the relationship between spinal muscle fatty degeneration and vertebral compression fracture (VCF) progression. This study investigated the associations among spinal muscle fatty degeneration, functional support of the spinal muscles, and VCF progression.Methods: We retrospectively evaluated 49 consecutive elderly patients over 65 years of age who had VCFs between 2013 and 2020. Change in height loss was defined as the difference in height loss in vertebral collapse between the initial and >6-month follow-up visits. Fatty infiltration of the paraspinal and psoas muscles was measured using T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging at L3 and L4.Results: The VCF height loss change was 6.53±4.9 mm. The cross-sectional area of the paraspinal muscle was 2,418±496 mm2. The fatty infiltration rate of the paraspinal muscle was 4.46%±1.7%. Mild VCF height loss (a change o≤9 mm) was found in 36 patients (group 0), while severe height loss (a change >9 mm) was observed in 13 patients (group 1). The paraspinal-to-psoas muscle ratio was 2.51 in group 0 and 3.33 in group 1 (P<0.002). The paraspinal muscle mass (P<0.02), bone mineral density (P<0.05), and paraspinal-to-psoas muscle mass ratio (P<0.01) affected VCF progression. The odds ratio of the paraspinal-to-psoas muscle ratio was 4.39.Conclusion: The paraspinal-to-psoas muscle ratio strongly influences VCF progression. In patients with VCF, progression can be predicted using the paraspinal-to-psoas muscle ratio before ambulation.
The Power of Language: Conceptualizing the Phenomenon of Leadership via the Art of Communication
Authors: Alsalah Luma Fayez
Published: June 2022

This research aims to conceptualize the phenomenon of leadership through the power of language. Effective language use leads to effective communication, which is quintessential in leadership practice. This paper views any person able to obtain followers or audience as a leader, regardless of the pertinent realm or domain. It is worth noting that the terms “audience” and “followers” are used interchangeably herein. This research adopts the communicative power of language while linking its significance to a non- specific domain leadership. Moreover, this study provides a combination of Howard Gardner’s and John C. Maxwell’s perspectives on leadership while highlighting the connection between effective language use and leadership communication through influence, socialization and change.

Authors: Alnoaimi Muneera , Almahamid soud
Published: June 2022

Aim: Identifying the missing link in the literature between High-Performance Work System (HPWS) and product innovation, and identifying if there are any mediating or moderating variables that play roles in the relationship between HPWS and product innovation. Design of Study: a systematic review of all related articles that link between HPWS and product innovation. Method: a systematic literature searching 8 databases produced 50 articles that touch the subject directly or indirectly. Scanning all of them revealed that only 14 articles were directly examined on the subject and have been published during the last 13 years. Therefore, they were included in the current literature review. Results: the result revealed that HPWS is positively related with product innovation. In addition, the relationship between HPWS and product innovation is mediated by several factors among which the most important are the innovative work behavior and organizational climate. Moreover, a new conceptual model was developed and will be tested in the next phase of this research project. Recommendations: Based on the research results, a set of practical and scientific recommendations were provided. Originality: Emerges from developing a new conceptual model that is missing in the literature and customizing it to fit the Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC). Future studies: Other organizational factors such as culture, leadership styles, and job engagement could be added to the proposed framework..
