İzmir ve Havalisinde Amerikan Singer Manufacturing Company’e Karşı Boykot Hareketi (1910-1911)
Authors: KURNAZ ŞAHİN Feyza
Published: July 2022

Bu çalışmanın amacı 1910-1911 yıllarında İzmir ve havalisinde Amerikan Singer Manufacturing Company’e (SMC) karşı başlayan boykotu irdelemek olarak tanımlanır. Çalışmada Singer boykotu çerçevesinde yabancılara yönelen tepki ve bunun İzmir ve çevresindeki etkileri de incelendi. Osmanlı Devleti’nde ilk boykot 1908’de Bosna-Hersek’in Avusturya tarafından ilhakı sebebiyle başladı. Bilahare Girit meselesinden dolayı 1910-1911’de Yunan boykotu ortaya çıktı. Yunan boykotunun bir uzantısı olarak 1910’da Aydın vilayetinde, Amerikan SMC’ye karşı da bir boykot zuhur etti. Boykotun sebebi şirketin çalışanlarının büyük bölümünün Yunanlı olmasıydı. İzmir Boykotaj Cemiyeti, şirketin Yunan uyruklu çalışanlarının işten çıkarılmasını istedi. SMC, Osmanlı topraklarındaki işlerinin aksayacağı gerekçesiyle çalışanlarını korudu. Neticede İzmir ve havalisinde ve bilahare Ayvalık’ta şirkete karşı boykot başladı. Boykot, Amerikan Sefareti ile Osmanlı bürokratik makamları arasında gerginliğe yol açtı. SMC’ye yönelik boykot Amerika’ya bir tepki olmaktan daha ziyade Yunan boykotu çerçevesinde değerlendirilmelidir. Çalışmanın temel kaynaklarını Cumhurbaşkanlığı Devlet Arşivleri Başkanlığı Osmanlı Arşivi belgeleri ve dönemin süreli yayınları oluşturmuştur.
ALASDAIR GRAY’S LANARK (1981): WORKING WITH PRECEDENT TEXTS OF THE SCIENCE FICTION CANON
Authors: Martynenko Ekaterina А.
Published: July 2022

The article is devoted to the analysis of Alasdair Gray’s debut novel Lanark (1981) in the context of the world science fiction genre canon. The novel is marked by complex intertextual links, which go beyond quotations and imagery as the writer creatively employs established genre models. Lanark’s fantastic books aim at criticizing consumerism and capitalist totalitarianism. For this reason, they present a number of references to both Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and George Orwell’s 1984. The novel also contains utopian elements. However, socialist ideals still remain an unattainable dream referable to the alternative past or hypothetical future. In addition, Lanark shows features intrinsic to the science fiction menippea of the Gulliver’s Travels type. These features demonstrate extraordinary liberty of plot, combination of profound symbolism and slum naturalism, protagonist’s eccentric behavior with his subsequent overthrowing, widespread use of inserted genres, three-planned construction (Earth, Olympus, nether-world) coupled with plot testing of the idea of union between power and science. In addition, Gray’s novel puts together science fiction, historical facts and memoirs, just as Vonnegut’s novelistic experiments do. This allows us to speak about Lanark as a genre hybrid of science fiction and autobiography.

A Lagrange Interpolation Application for Automating Fertilizer Distribution in Agriculture using Wireless Sensor Networks
Authors: Warpe Santosh Trimbak , Pippal Ravi Kumar Singh
Published: July 2022

Background: Agriculture is the linchpin of the Indian economic system which extraordinarily dependent on soil, use of fertilizer and climate conditions. Soil fertility depletion is a reason for the problem of Indian agriculture. Not only the usage of plant vitamins per hectare is fairly low and imbalanced, but also the Indian farmers are still using the traditional method to spread the fertilizer in the field which is the predominant reason for low crop yields. It also influences people via consumption. So, there should be a precision and constancy tracking mechanism in agricultural merchandise and use of fertilizers inside the farm. In this paper, the implemented system presents a method for the distribution of required fertilizer for crop acreage. To optimize this, the wireless sensor gives a systematic answer for fertilizer distribution using Lagrange’s Interpolation (LI). Methods: The experiment was carried out in the MIT Academy of Engineering’s Agrotech Farm in Pune over the last one year (2019-2020). The readings were taken from the tomato crop. We used the LI to evaluate the values between Standard, Conventional and Actual, which delivers the optimal value and reduces fertilizer waste and farmers’ financial burden. These LI may result in a decrease in the number of sensor nodes in the agricultural field. The decrease in sensor nodes lowers total operating costs. Result: With an equally and unequally spaced approach, in comparison to a conventional strategy the implemented system saves nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) by just giving the crop with the required amount of fertilizer.

Published: July 2022

Background: Drought is a major constraint affecting the seed yield of common bean in smallholder farmers’ fields in Malawi. Therefore, there is a need to develop genotypes that can perform well under drought conditions. The study was conducted to assess the variability of common bean genotypes under stressed and optimum soil moisture conditions. Methods: Forty-three common bean genotypes were evaluated under low and optimum soil moisture in a split-plot pot experiment in 2017. Data were collected at flowering stage on five root traits and seed weight. Result: Highly significant (P less than 0.01) differences were observed among the genotypes and the genotype × water treatment interactions for the root traits and seed weight. Water stress increased hypocotyl root number, basal root number and basal root growth angle by 127.1, 11.3 and 46.1% respectively, while hypocotyl root length, basal root whorl number and seed weight were reduced by 7.1, 1.9 and 9.4% respectively. Broad sense heritability and genetic advance (%) was highest for hypocotyl root length. Genotypes CER-78, SAB-560 and SER-125 were considered tolerant to soil moisture stress and should therefore be tested in various drought conditions for release and used for genetic enhancement focusing on root traits and seed yield.

Published: July 2022

Background: Avian tongue has a significant role in the feeding process. The current investigation was planned to study the histological and ultrastructural features of the tongue in two avians. Java sparrow (Lonchura oryzivora) and Hoopoe (Upupa epops). Methods: Fourteen birds were used including seven Java sparrows and seven Hoopoes during the current investigation. Careful procedures were used in the dissection process of the two avian species. Their heads were separated and four tongue samples (from each species) were taken to fixed in 10% buffered formalin for histological observations. Result: Histologically, the lingual glands in Lonchura oryzivora were simple-branched acinar and compound acinar. Whereas, the lingual glands in Upupa epops were simple acinar and simple-branched acinar. Three tongue samples (from each species) were taken to fixed in 2.5% of glutaraldehyde for the ultrastructural observations. The SEM findings in both species showed main three parts of the tongue; apex (anterior part), corpus (middle part) and radix (posterior part). Lonchura oryzivora‘s tongue has an elongated dart form with anterior terminal curved pointy conical papillae. Mid-dorsal trench (Sulcus medianus) extended from the apex to the anterior region of the radix. While the tongue of Upupa epops was triangular form with a convex tip and it has a V-form papillary crest. The observed findings of the histological and ultrastructural dissimilarities of Java Sparrow and Hoopoe emphasized more insight into the feeding behaviors and adaptation of the two avians.
Role of Broodstock Nutrition and its Impacts on Fish Reproductive Output: An Overview
Authors: Pandey Abhed
Published: July 2022

A major prerequisite for the successful growth of aquaculture is the ability to properly manage sexual maturation and spawning, as well as the production of huge numbers of high-quality seeds. One of the most critical variables impacting a cultured organism’s ability to reach its genetic potential for growth and reproduction is proper nutrition. Broodstock diet has long been known to affect fecundity, fertilisation rate, egg quality, embryo development and larval quality, as well as hatchery success. Optimal broodstock management strategies based on a thorough understanding of the nutritional and environmental needs of fishes bred in captivity. Many factors influence fish growth, gonad development and reproduction. Protein, lipids, minerals, vitamins and carotenoids are among these factors. Not only has improved broodstock nutrition and feeding been demonstrated to improve egg and sperm quality, but it has also been shown to improve seed yield. As a result, over the last two decades, increased emphasis has been placed on the levels of various nutrients in broodstock diets. Broodstock nutrition research, on the other hand, is scarce and relatively expensive to do.
Implications of Meteorological Forecasting for Accelerating the Success Rate in Sericulture: New Avenues in Seri-industry: A Review
Authors: Chanotra Suraksha , Angotra Jyoty
Published: July 2022

Weather and climatological studies offers great scope for strengthening the agricultural production science temperature, humidity, photoperiod and rainfall are the key factors deciding the ultimate fate of any crop including sericulture. Mulberry cultivation and silkworm rearing the two most important aspects of sericulture and both depends on environmental factors for successful harvest of cocoon crop, the ultimate product of silk industry. Various agencies like weather forecasting and meteorological department keeps an eye on the upcoming weather events for providing necessary advisory services to the farmers for making precautionary measures in order to avoid the risk of crop failure and wastage of resources. Timely information about rainfall pattern helps the farmers to decide the time of field operations and post harvest activities. In sericulture, role of environmental conditions for both mulberry and silkworm is of utmost importance and contributes 37.8% for successful cocoon crop. Cocoon crop productivity declines considerably due to slight fluctuations in temperature and humidity. Scientific knowledge therefore helps to cope up with such adervisities. Meteorological forecasting thus opens new avenues in the field of sericulture for pre planning and successful execution of silkworm crop. Therefore, an attempt has been made to present an elaborative context of meteorological studies for accelerating success rate of sericulture crop productivity at commercial level.

Published: July 2022

We designate here the name designate ‘oasis’ (Wit in Egyptian, Wah in Copte, Waha in Arabic et in Persian, Neve in Hebrew, et Ouasis in Greek), points located in the desert and which are distinguished from the surrounding environment by more or less abundant vegetation. The date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is the backbone of the oasis and it is the one that must be protected. This review has the objective toexplain the typological and agroecosystem of saoura oasis and its contraints. The data obtained in this study are based on statistics from national and international institute like CRSTRA, ONID, ITDAS and RADDO and also from surveys and prospecting missions with the help of farmers who have given us all the routes carried out in their fields and the main constraints that affect this kind of crop. The data obtained showed that the oasis has certain pedoclimatic, geological and hydrogeological properties specific to the arid environment. The oasis agrosystem studied (saoura) has certain specificities compared to others, such as the absence or presence of certain constraints on the date palm such as the bayoud and the date moth. Regarding varietal diversity, ‘Feggous and H-mira’, these are the most important varieties in Saoura region, but are sensitive to certain constraints such as Bayoud, which requires the selection of new resistant varieties.
Comparison Study and Evaluation of Selective Enrichment Broth for Coliforms with Commercial Broth Media
Authors: Gawai Kunal M. , Prajapati Jashbhai B. , Tagalpallewar Govind P.
Published: July 2022

Background: Several bacteriological broths and solid media are available for growth of coliforms. Many are generalized and some of them works as selective. Now a days, in this category with development of chromogenic and flourogenic media, enumeration and detection have work become very easy. Despite the fact most of the countries are using approved methods like IS-5887 (Part-I) 1976 and IS-5401 Part-1 (2012) protocol for monitoring E. coli and coliforms in dairy products respectively. This is due to reliability of these media in giving results. Even though results obtained using these methods need confirmation as there are chances to have other organisms/contaminants in the broth or media which does not actually belong to coliforms groups. This leads to further testing to get presence of coliforms and E. coli. Methods: The present investigation comprised comparison and evaluation of formulated selective coliforms broth (Gawai, 2020) with commercially available broths namely Lactose broth, Coliform broth, Tergitol-7 broth, MacConkey’s broth, Violet red bile broth, Lauryl sulphate tryptose broth and nutrient broth at specified time intervals. Result: The growth pattern of Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, Coliforms cocktail and Salmonella typhimurium ATCC 14028 were studied in developed selective coliform broth along with seven commercial broths. It was observed that E.coli ATCC 25922 showed good growth in all the broth tested and highest growth was reported with Formulated broth i.e. 9.60 log cfu/ml and least growth was in MacConkey broth i.e. 8.60 log cfu/ml after 24 h of incubation. Coliform cocktail culture showed the best result in Formulated selective broth and Tergitol broth after 24 h of incubation i.e. 9.40 log cfu/ml while formulated coliforms broth showed the best reduction of Salmonella typhi ATCC 14028 in comparison with other tested broths.

Authors: Srinath Siliveru , Kaur Jasmine , Hundal J.S.
Published: July 2022

Background: The price of conventional protein sources like soybean and peanut has increased markedly in recent years resulting in urgent need for exploring alternate protein sources. Due to increase in availability of cottonseed meal (CSM) in cotton-growing areas of India as compared to other oil seed meals, CSM is becoming one of the major components of concentrate mixture (CM) fed to animals. Methods: A study was undertaken to assess the chemical composition and in vitro nutritional worth of CSM in comparison to conventional oilseed cakes used in livestock feeding. Result: The CP content of protein sources varied from 47.85% in CSM to 47.76% in soybean meal (SBM). The net gas production (NGP, ml/g DM/24h) in CSM (160.48) was lower (P less than 0.05) than SBM (198.04) and MC (199.55). The metabolizable energy (ME, MJ/kg DM) was higher (P less than 0.05) in MC and lowest (P less than 0.05) in DMC. The partitioning factor (PF, mg/ml), OM digestibility (%), DM digestibility (%), NDF digestibility (%), efficiency of microbial mass production (EMMP, %), fermented CO2 was reported to be higher (P less than 0.05) in CSM compared to conventional oilseed cakes. The TVFA (mM/dl) production in CSM (6.63) was higher (P less than 0.05) than GNC (6.45) but lower (P less than 0.05) than SBM (6.97), MC (7.11) and DMC (7.25). The fermentation efficiency (FE, %) in CSM (74.70) and GNC (74.97) was higher (P less than 0.05) than conventional oilseed cakes. The VFA utilization index (VFA UI) was highest (P less than 0.05) in SBM (3.81) and lowest (P less than 0.05) in GNC (3.39). The results revealed that CSM has the potential to be used as a protein source for livestock feeding.

Published: July 2022

Background: Palm kernel cake is a high-fibre and medium-grade protein feed available at a cheaper price. Determining the optimum quantity of palm kernel cake inclusion levels could help in designing sustainable livestock-feeding systems. The studies related to its use in buffaloes are scarce. Considering the indispensable role of buffaloes in enhancing the Indian economy, the current study is aimed at finding the optimum level of palm kernel cake inclusion in rations of buffaloes. Methods: In a 4×4 LSD, four graded Murrah buffalo bulls (4 yrs; 329±10.4 kg) were fed maintenance rations comprising Super Napier and concentrate mixture. A concentrate mixture with 20% CP was prepared using conventional feed ingredients and is used as control. De-oiled palm kernel cake (DPKC) is incorporated at 0, 15, 30 and 45 per cent level to study the effect of feeding DPKC on nutrient utilization, mineral (calcium, phosphorus and nitrogen) balance and rumen fluid parameters (TVFA and nitrogen dynamics). Result: The DPKC diets did not affect nutrient intakes; however, decreased the nutrient digestibility coefficients. The nitrogen outgo was higher and the N retention and per cent absorbed was lower for DPKC-included diets. No effects were observed on the calcium and phosphorus balance of diets. A linearly decreased pattern of TVFA and total nitrogen was observed with increased levels of DPKC. Further, the diets did not affect food and protozoal N and residual N of rumen liquor.

Authors: Abubakar A. , Ishak M.Y. , Uddin M.K. , Bakar A. Abu , Mohammed M.U.
Published: July 2022

Background: Oil palm has been recognized as one of the most important crops especially in Southeast Asia and the rest of the world. Palm oil production has recently been lowered as a result of the influence of various factors, which include weather and climate. The distribution of temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, solar radiation and rainfall all influence the growth and development of palms, which later reflects in the production quantity of the fresh fruit bunches and palm oil. The objective of this study is to investigate the impacts of various weather factors especially (temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, solar radiation and rainfall) on oil palm production in Peninsular Malaysia. Methods: The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 20.0 version was used to analyse the data, which include descriptive statistics and multilinear regression (MLR). The MLR model evaluated the strength of the relationship between oil palm yield (as a dependent variable) and temperature, solar radiation, wind speed, relative humidity and precipitation. Temperature, wind speed, relative humidity, solar radiation and rainfall, on the other hand, have been shown to have little effect on oil palm production and yield. Result: According to the R2 value, the independent variables only explained 20.2% of the variation in palm oil production. This study recommends operating within a comprehensive framework that includes scientific research, planting improved varieties, enhancing regional intellectual and academic leadership, engaging the participation of private and public stakeholders, highlighting participatory initiatives with researchers in consumer countries and enhancing growers’ ability to adapt best agroecological practises.

India has the largest area (4 million ha.) under pigeon pea and accounts for about 80 per cent of area of the world. Methods: A field experiment was conducted during kharif season of 2015-16 at Mahatma Gandhi Chitrakoot Gramodaya Vishwavidyalaya, Chitrakoot, Satna (M.P.) to find out the suitable pigeon pea based inter cropping system and their nutrient management. The 16 treatments were tested in split plot design in which 6 cropping system were kept in main plot and 2 fertility levels in sub plots. Result: Result showed that sole pigeon pea, sole black gram, sole green gram and sole sesame produced significantly higher seed and stover yield over intercropped mean. Under cropping system, yield attributes wear at par but the maximum grain yield of (744 kg ha-1) was recorded under pigeon pea + black gram (1:1) alternate rows but stover yield (3910 kg ha-1) in pigeon pea + sesame (1:1) alternate rows. As regards, the fertility levels, the yield contributing characters and yields were higher in 125% Recommended dose of Fertilizers (RDF). Intercropped black gram and intercropped green gram formed almost similar yield attributes and yields under both cropping system (1:1 and 2:2). The application of 125% RDF produced better yields attributes and yields of black gram and green gram. Intercropped and sole sesame produced and statistically equal yield contributes but seed and stover yields of sesame sole was significantly higher them intercropped sesame. Application of 125% RDF had superior yield attributes and yields of sesame. Pigeon pea + green gram (1:1 row ratio) with 125% RDF maximised the pigeon pea grain equivalent yield of 1505 kg ha-1, land equivalent ratio (1.65), net profit of ₹ 84826 per ha and benefit : cost ratio (4.68) followed by pigeon pea + green gram (2:2 row ratio) with 125% RDF.

Mah?rah kal?m (speaking skill) is one of four language skills for learning Arabic, the other three skills being istima' (listening), qir?’ah (reading), and kit?bah (writing). When learning to speak Arabic, students deal with both linguistic and non-linguistic challenges. This study used the descriptive analytical method with a qualitative approach to explore barriers in acquiring Arabic mah?rah kal?m. The subjects of this study were college students majoring in Arabic language education at IAIN Langsa, in Aceh. By means of interviews and questionnaire, the study found that impediments to mah?rah kal?m mastery were lack of self-confidence, limitations of introductory vocabulary, poor knowledge of grammar (qaw?’id) and of composition (tar?kib), and discomfort felt by listeners when lacking in conversational understanding. There were non-linguistic factors among the students too: differences in educational background; majoring in Arabic but not as a first choice; a limited language practice environment; and some limitations of teaching methodology. Accordingly, to improve students’ speaking skill, lecturers should seek to develop students’ motivation, memory, and practicing of speaking, by rehearsing examples from texts and from typical situations. To overcome barriers, academic lecturers should create supportive bi’ah lughawiyah, mandatory Arabic-day programs, and the use of media, such as YouTube, to expose students to new mufradah and pattern practices (ushlub).

The field of Arabic language education suffers from shortcomings in the adopted curriculum. Learners realize serious problems when learning Arabic in the classroom. The teacher is committed to solving their problems and makes a conscious effort to improve the educational content in the classroom. The theory of linguistic errors analysis plays an important role in identifying learners' learning problems and taking the necessary educational measures to overcome them. The study of linguistic errors makes a good contribution - theoretically - about the common linguistic characteristics in the teaching of the second language. In practice, the teacher assists in designing remedial courses by following the steps of analyzing language errors in extracting them. It complies with providing the appropriate material that prevents learners from repeating their linguistic error.
Application of Big Data Analysis to Agricultural Production, Agricultural Product Marketing, and Influencing Factors in Intelligent Agriculture
Authors: Cheng Jianfeng
Published: July 2022

Agricultural Internet of things (AIoT) promotes the modernization of traditional agricultural production and marketing model. However, the existing time series prediction methods for agricultural production and agricultural product (AP) marketing cannot adapt well to most real-world scenarios, failing to realize multistep forecast of production and AP marketing data. To solve the problem, this paper explores the big data analysis of agricultural production, AP marketing, and influencing factors in intelligent agriculture. To realize long-, and short-term predictions, a small-sample time series model was set up for AIoT production, and a big-sample time series model was constructed for AP marketing. The data fusion algorithm based on Kalman filter (KF) was adopted to fuse the massive multi-source AP marketing data. The proposed strategy was proved valid through experiments.
Chemo-diversity of chiral monoterpenes in different styles of Riesling wine from different regions
Authors: Song Mei , Fuentes Claudio , Tomasino Elizabeth
Published: July 2022

Monoterpenes are important characteristic compounds for aromatic white wines, including Riesling, but their enantiomer composition has been little explored in wine. Enantiomers can differ depending on region and style, as they are sensitive to environmental factors, and thus could be used for wine authentication. Thirteen monoterpene isomers were quantified by HS-SPME-MDGC-MS in fifty-four commercial Riesling wines from three wine styles (dry, medium dry and medium sweet) and four well-established wine-growing regions in Germany, France (Alsace) and the USA (New York and Oregon). Significant differences were found for nine out of the 13 enantiomers among different regions and eight enantiomers among styles. X-Y scatterplots of enantiomer pair concentrations, with excellent fitted lines, implies low variation of enantiomeric ratios from each region. The study suggests that wines from different regions and styles were differentiated by chiral monoterpene profiles. Chiral monoterpene analyses could provide supporting information in Riesling wine authentication by offering an objective measure of flavour quality, as these compounds are key compounds for Riesling aroma and flavor.

Authors: Fathani Irfan Jaen , Miladiyah Isnatin
Published: July 2022

Background: Colorectal cancer is the 3rd most common type of cancer in the world with unsatisfactory therapeutic effectiveness. One of the efforts being made to overcome this problem is by extracting various new chemotherapy agents, including herbal plants. The Nyamplung plant (Calophyllum inophyllum L.) is reported to contain calophyllolide, triterpene, coumarin, saponin, biflavonoids, benzophenones and neoflavanoids which are potential anticancer agents. Objective: This study aims to determine the cytotoxic activity of ethanolic extract of fruit shells and seeds of Nyamplung (Calophyllum inophyllum L.) on WiDr colorectal cancer cells and their selectivity on normal cells (Vero).Methods: The fruit and seeds of Nyamplung were extracted by maceration with 70% ethanol solvent. The cytotoxic test was carried out by the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2-5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) method, with doxorubicin as a positive control. Data analyzed using Microsoft Excel software using linear regression analysis. The IC50 value and selectivity index were used as indicator of toxicity selectivity.Results: The IC50 value of the ethanolic extract of Nyamplung fruit shells on WiDr was 42.47 µg/ml with a selectivity index of 1.50. Meanwhile, the IC50 value of ethanolic extract of Nyamplung seeds was 1,030.41 µg/ml with a selectivity index of 67,982,414.71. Doxorubicin as a positive control obtained IC50 value on WiDr cells of 3.49 µg/ml with a selectivity index of 764.41.Conclusion: The ethanolic extract of Nyamplung seeds was not cytotoxic against WiDr colorectal cancer cells, while the ethanolic extract of Nyamplung fruit sell was moderate cytotoxic with low selectivity index.
Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia: A potential mimic of kimura’s disease

Angiolymphoid hyperplasia with eosinophilia (ALHE) is a rare reactive angio-proliferative lesion. ALHE was initially classified as the late stage of Kimura’s disease (KD), although studies later showed that they were two separate clinical entities. Diagnosing ALHE remains a clinical challenge. Here, we report a case of ALHE in a young man and review current literature with an emphasis on how to distinguish ALHE particularly from KD. A 26-year-old man presented with a subcutaneous nodule in right infra-auricular area. Recurrence had occurred after three surgical excisions. Neither enlargement of salivary glands nor lymph nodes were found. Hematological examinations and renal function were normal. The mass was removed surgically. Microscopic examination showed proliferation of vascular channels with accompanying mixed inflammatory infiltrate consisting of lymphocytes, plasma cells, and eosinophils. Based on clinical data and histopathological examination, the patient was diagnosed with ALHE. Several clinical features differ between ALHE and KD, such as gender predilection, hypereosinophilia, IgE levels, and renal involvement. However, clinical features can overlap, so definitive diagnosis relies on histopathological examination. The most important hallmark of ALHE is vascular proliferation with epithelioid endothelial cells. Distinguishing ALHE from KD is important due to the lack of systemic manifestations in ALHE. However, ALHE can be easily mistaken for other diseases due to its rarity. Careful microscopic examination is very important to distinguish ALHE from KD and other mimicking lesions.
