Authors: Igigabel Marc , Nédélec Yves , Bérenger Nathalie , Flouest Nicolas , Bernard Alexis , Chassé Patrick , Tiberi-Wadier Anne-Laure
Published: December 2021

Storm Xynthia, which hit the French Atlantic coast on 28 February 2010, flooded vast territories despite coastal defences. This disaster highlighted the need to further study the behaviour of the coastal flood protection systems at an adapted geographical scale by considering the kinematics of the events. This objective has been achieved through a combination of conceptual input on the definition of protection systems, significant breakthroughs in the knowledge of the mechanisms governing the flooding, and via the improvement of strategies and methods dedicated to flood analysis and representation. The developed methodology was successfully tested on four sites submerged during Xynthia (Loix, Les Boucholeurs, and Boyardville, located in Charente-Maritime, and Batz-sur-Mer, located in Loire-Atlantique). This work is intended to guide the diagnosis of sites prone to marine flooding from the first investigations until the delivery of study reports. Beyond the usual focus on hydraulic structures, it provides guidelines to better analyse the interactions with the natural environment (sea, soil, dune, wetlands, etc.) and with the built environment (roads and urban networks, ponds used for fish farming, buildings, etc.). This systemic approach, which is applied to a territory considered as a complex adaptive system, is fundamental to understanding the reaction of a territory during a marine submersion event and subsequently developing adaptation or transformation strategies.

Published: December 2021

This study aims to assess the impacts of land use and land cover (LULC) changes on the water quality of the Surma river in Bangladesh. For this, seasonal water quality changes were assessed in comparison to the LULC changes recorded from 2010 to 2019. Obtained results from this study indicated that pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and total dissolved solids (TDS) concentrations were higher during the dry season, while dissolved oxygen (DO), 5-day biological oxygen demand (BOD5), temperature, total suspended solids (TSS), and total solids (TS) concentrations also changed with the season. The analysis of LULC changes within 1000-m buffer zones around the sampling stations revealed that agricultural and vegetation classes decreased; while built-up, waterbody and barren lands increased. Correlation analyses showed that BOD5, temperature, EC, TDS, and TSS had a significant relationship (5% level) with LULC types. The regression result indicated that BOD5 was sensitive to changing waterbody (predictors, R2 = 0.645), temperature was sensitive to changing waterbodies and agricultural land (R2 = 0.889); and EC was sensitive to built-up, vegetation, and barren land (R2 = 0.833). Waterbody, built-up, and agricultural LULC were predictors for TDS (R2 = 0.993); and waterbody, built-up, and barren LULC were predictors for TSS (R2 = 0.922). Built-up areas and waterbodies appeared to have the strongest effect on different water quality parameters. Scientific finding from this study will be vital for decision makers in developing more robust land use management plan at the local level.

Published: December 2021

A Delft3D morphodynamic model for Barataria Bay, Louisiana, USA is used to quantify a plausible range of land change in response to a proposed sediment diversion under a range of environmental drivers. To examine the influence of environmental drivers, such as Mississippi River water hydrographs, mineral and organic sediment loading, sea level rise rates, subsidence, and a projected implementation (or operation) date, 240 multi-decadal (2020–2100) numerical experiments were used. The diversion was assumed to begin operation in 2025, 2030, or 2035. The experiments revealed persistent benefits of the sediment diversion through 2100. Start data of 2025 result in a median net positive land change of 32 km2 by 2100; whereas the 90th, and 10th percentiles are 69 and 10 km2. A delay in the operation date of the diversion to 2030 or 2035 would reduce the net positive land change by approximately 15–20% and 20–30%, respectively.
Surgical Treatment of Low-Lying Rectal Cancer: Updates
Authors: Varela Cristopher , Kim Nam Kyu
Published: December 2021

Despite innovative advancements, distally located rectal cancer remains a critical disease of challenging management. The crucial location of the tumor predisposes it to a circumferential resection margin (CRM) that tends to involve the anal sphincter complex and surrounding organs, with a high incidence of delayed anastomotic complications and the risk of the pelvic sidewall or rarely inguinal lymph node metastases. In this regard, colorectal surgeons should be aware of other issues beyond total mesorectal excision (TME) performance. For decades, the concept of extralevator abdominoperineal resection to avoid compromised CRM has been introduced. However, the complexity of deep pelvic dissection with poor visualization in low-lying rectal cancer has led to transanal TME. In contrast, neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) has allowed for the execution of more sphincter-saving procedures without oncologic compromise. Significant tumor regression after NCRT and complete pathologic response also permit applying the watch-and-wait protocol in some cases, now with more solid evidence. This review article will introduce the current surgical treatment options, their indication and technical details, and recent oncologic and functional outcomes. Lastly, the novel characteristics of distal rectal cancer, such as pelvic sidewall and inguinal lymph node metastases, will be discussed along with its tailored and individualized treatment approach.

he article describes the methods and techniques of processing texts of scientific style of economic orientation, their analysis in practical classes on the Ukrainian language (for professional purposes). Attention is paid to the main language levels of modern Ukrainian literary language: lexical, grammatical, spelling, punctuation. The methodological basis of the study are the following approaches: system-chronological, culturological, axiological, comparative, retrospective, didactic. These approaches are based on a set of methodological principles, including: dialectical, systematic, historicism, chronological, personalized. The set of research methods is used in the work: general scientific, historical-pedagogical and special-historical. As a result of processing texts of scientific-educational and popular science backgrounds in practical classes on the Ukrainian language (professionally), analysis of lexical, grammatical, spelling, punctuation levels, writing a bibliographic description of sources contributes to the realization of higher education students that the purpose of scientific style texts – systematization, knowledge of the world, notification of research results, proof of theories, substantiation of hypotheses, classifications, explanation of phenomena, systematization of knowledge, presentation of material, presentation of scientific data to society. In the conclusions it is noted that during the analysis of texts of scientific style of economic orientation the applicants made conclusions: abstract vocabulary, a large number of terms, scientific phraseology (stable terminological phrases), unambiguous common vocabulary, impersonality, impersonality of syntax, absence of all that would indicate the identity of the author, his preferences. In the perspective of further research, it is possible to clarify and expand the issues covered in our study.

Authors: DENISOVETS T. , PIVOVAR N. , KVAK O.
Published: December 2021

The article analyzes both the phenomena of innovative perception of reality by a modern leader, his innovative thinking, and the challenges that determine their relevance. The main tasks set before the head of the educational institution of the realities of the post-Soviet space are considered from the standpoint of social, educational, cultural in the context of the transition to market forms of management.

The aim of the article is to reveal the modern requirements for the professional skills of the head of an educational institution (in particular, sports), as a person with innovative thinking, able to find the optimal balance between collective and individual.

It is noted that the correct training of managerial staff in pedagogy means as its end product of individually strong children who are able to work productively in teams, rather than the gray mass. Therefore, the head of the educational institution (and sports education institution – in the first place) must be able to separate individual and collective interests, balance them, choosing an effective strategy for educating young people as members of a new society, its vanguard and democratic social views.
'The experiences, perspectives, and needs of young people who access support for mental health in primary care: a systematic review'
Authors: Appleton Rebecca , Gauly Julia , Mughal Faraz , Singh Swaran , Tuomainen Helena
Published: December 2021

Background: There is an increasing demand for mental health support in primary care, especially for young people. To improve mental health support for young people in general practice (GP), the needs of young people must be considered. Aim: To explore the experiences of young people (aged 12-25) on receiving mental health care in general practice and identify the needs of young people who present for mental health concerns. Design and Setting: A systematic review and narrative synthesis. Method: Six databases were searched for literature relating to young people’s experiences of receiving mental health care in general practice. Additional handsearching and manual internet searching were conducted. Narrative synthesis was employed. Results: Five studies and a further two reports from manual internet searching were included for synthesis. The synthesis generated four themes: the centrality of a trusting relationship; showing empathy and taking concerns seriously; providing time to talk; and reducing barriers to accessing primary care mental health support. Conclusion: To enable high-quality and effective mental health consultations with young people and the development of trust, GPs require unhurried consultations, and the ability to maintain continuity of care.
Accessing primary care and the importance of ‘human fit’: a qualitative participatory case study
Authors: Voorhees Jennifer , Bailey Simon , Waterman Heather , Checkland Kath
Published: December 2021

Background

Good access to primary care is an important determinant of population health. While the academic literature on access to care emphasises its complexity, policies aimed at improving access to general practice in the UK have tended to focus on measurable aspects, such as timeliness or number of appointments.

Aim

To fill the gap between the complex understanding of primary care access in the literature and the narrow definition of access assumed in UK policies.

Design and setting

Qualitative, community-based participatory case study within the geographic footprint of a clinical commissioning group in the north west of England. Data collection took place from October 2015 to October 2016. Purposive sampling and snowball approaches were used to achieve maximum variation among service users and providers across general practice settings.

Method

Levesque et al’s conceptual framework of patient-centred access was applied and the study used multiple qualitative methods (interviews, focus groups, and observation). Analysis was ongoing, iterative, inductive, and abductive with the theory.

Results

The comprehensiveness of Levesque et al’s access theory resonated with diverse participant experiences. However, while its strength was to highlight the importance of people’s abilities to access care, this study’s data suggest equal importance of healthcare workforce abilities to make care accessible. Thus, the authors present a definition of access as the ‘human fit’ between the needs and abilities of people in the population and the abilities and capacity of people in the healthcare workforce, and provide a modified conceptual framework reflecting these insights.

Conclusion

An understanding of access as ‘human fit’ has the potential to address longstanding problems of access within general practice, focusing attention on the need for staff training and support, and emphasising the importance of continuity of care.

Published: December 2021

A comprehensive study was conducted in the direction of research and institutional support and comparison with the nearest neighbour - Poland, to determine the current state and justify strategic scenarios for Ukraine's integration into the research, educational and innovation spaces of the EU as a source of proactive sustainable innovative development. Analysis of the use of foresight technology to determine the possible future, create the desired image of the future and determine strategies to achieve it using methods developed in various research areas revealed that its application makes sense in determining long-term factors, trends and directions of national economies. That is, in foresighting, in contrast to forecasting, the emphasis is made on qualitative rather than quantitative results, which does not provide the expected targeted policy of the state, because it does not give clear, concrete results of actions - quantitative strategic benchmarks, monitoring which would control the process of these areas' development. The disadvantages of foresighting methods that limit its application are identified. Scientific substantiation of strategic scenarios of European integration of Ukrainian and Polish research, education and innovation spaces is based on the concept of sustainable development, which is grounded on applied systems theory, management theory and economic cybernetics and comprises the stages of identifying and strategizing. Identification is carried out taking into account the definition of the safe existence boundaries and simultaneous norming and integrated convolution of indicators and thresholds of education and innovation. Comparison on one scale of integrated indices of education and innovation makes it possible to carry out the goal-setting stage, identify possible strategic development scenarios and build the desired development trajectories, i.e., to implement the principle of strategizing "the future is determined by the trajectory into future." Thus, knowledge of the desired values of integrated indices in each year makes it possible, through their decomposition by the method of adaptive regulation from the management theory, to justify the values of indicators that provide the desired growth trajectory and achieve certain goals of research, educational and innovative spaces of Ukraine and Poland.
Farsçada Yaşamış Türkçe Bir Kelime: “Çapar-hâne

Published: December 2021

Tarihi süreç içerisinde Türkler ve Persler yüzyıllar boyunca aynı coğrafyayı paylaşmıştır. Kimi zaman da aynı devletin hükümdarlığı altında yaşamışlardır. Bu sebeple iki kültür arasında çok yoğun bir alış veriş meydana gelmiştir. Bu kültürel alış verişin büyük bir kısmı da doğal olarak dil ve edebiyat sahasında gerçekleşmiştir. Türk dili ve edebiyatı Farsça’dan ve Fars edebiyatından yoğun olarak beslenmiştir. Öyle ki günümüz Türkçesinde bile pek çok Farsça kelime aktif olarak kullanımdadır. İki dil arasındaki bu beslenme tek taraflı olmamış Türkçe’nin Farsça’dan beslendiği gibi Farsça da Türkçe’den beslenip pek çok Türkçe kelimeyi bünyesine dahil etmiştir. Bu kelimelerden birisi de bu yazının konusu olan “çapar-hane”dir.
Çapar-hane, Farsça ’da postacıların haber iletmek için durakladıkları menzil anlamında kullanılan bir kelimedir. Bu kelime yüzyıllar boyunca Farsça’da kullanılmış ve kaynaklarda kelimenin kökeni Farsça gösterilmiştir. Ancak dikkatli bakıldığı zaman bunun doğru olmadığı anlaşılmaktadır. Bu makalenin konusunu çapar-hane kelimesinin kökeni oluşturmaktadır. Makalede bu kelimenin Eski Türkçe’de yer alan “çap-mak” fiili ile Farsça ev anlamına gelen “hane” sözcüğünün birleşmesinden meydana geldiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
Şairlerin Gözünden Tarihte Edirne Kışları ve Nehir Taşkınları
Authors: GÜRGENDERELİ Müberra
Published: December 2021

Osmanlı Devleti’nin ikinci başkenti ve medeniyet merkezi olan Edirne; tabii güzellikleri, maddi ve manevi zenginlikleri, mimarisi, havası ve suyunun hoşluğu gibi sebeplerle birçok şair tarafından övülmüştür. “Dârü’n-nasr ve’l-meymene” ifadesiyle anılan kutlu ve uğurlu şehir Edirne, sert geçen kışları ve şehri çevreleyen Meriç, Tunca ve Arda nehirlerinin sık sık taşmasından dolayı devrin bazı şairleri tarafından ise hicvedilmiştir. Karasal iklimin etkisindeki Edirne’de, kış mevsimleri çok sert geçer. Tarihte büyük iklim felaketleri yaşayan Edirne, tabii afetler, kış şartları, yokluk, fakirlik ve sıkıntılar sebebiyle zor zamanlar geçirmiştir. Başta, hicviyesinde şehrin kış mevsimini ve insanlarını ağır bir dille eleştiren Arpaemînizâde Sâmî olmak üzere Refîkî, Garâmî, Nev‘î, Hevâyî, İzzet Paşa gibi şairler, Edirne’nin kışını ve bu mevsimde yaşanan sıkıntıları manzumelerinde dile getirmişlerdir. Edirneli bazı şairler de şehrin kış şartlarından şikâyetçi olmalarına rağmen şehirlerini savunma içgüdüsüyle yazdıkları manzumelerle, bu şairlere cevap vermişlerdir. Ayrıca şehrin kışının güzelliklerini tasvir eden ve öven şairler de mevcuttur. Yahyâ Bey şehrengizinde, Edirne kışından günlük hayat sahnelerini resmetmiştir. Kış aylarında düzenlenen sürek avları, padişahların şehre gelişleri ve şehrin kış manzaraları da şiirlere konu olmuştur.
“Mutlak Buna Bir Çare Bulacağım”: Transhümanizm Kavramı ve Nâzım Hikmet’te Makinalaşma Arzusu
Authors: TUNÇ Gökhan
Published: December 2021

Nâzım Hikmet, yaşamıyla, ideolojisiyle ve konvansiyonel şiire karşı tutumuyla gerek yaşadığı dönemde gerekse sonrasında büyük tartışmalara yol açmış bir şairdir. Modern Türk şiirinin bu önemli ismi arkasında hâlâ yorumlanan, tartışılan çok sayıda şiir bırakmıştır ki bu şiirlerin önde gelenlerinden biri “Makinalaşmak”tır. Söz konusu şiir, özellikle fütüristik içeriğiyle, ideolojik kurgusuyla ve halkın kurtuluşunu sanayide görmesiyle edebiyat araştırmacılarının dikkatini çekmiştir. Ancak makalede, “Makinalaşmak” şiirinin transhümanist ögeler içerdiği öne sürülecektir. Bu yazıda ifade edilen çerçevede ilk olarak kişinin biyolojik ve genetik mirasının dayattığı sınırları geçersiz kılacak teknolojiyi ve nihai olarak insan-makina birlikteliğini esas alan transhümanizm kavramı tartışılacaktır. Bahsedilen kavramın Prometheus, Daedalus, Beowulf ve Frankenstein’la ilişkilendirilmesine, düşünsel zeminine değinilecek ve kavramın eleştirilen yönlerine vurgu yapılacaktır. Daha sonra ise “Açların Gözbebekleri” gibi şiirlerinde bedensel zayıflıkları vurgulayan Nâzım Hikmet’in, “Makinalaşmak” şiirinde çağın getirdiği ve getireceği teknolojik araçlarla, özellikle verili insan bedeninin zayıflıklarını, güçsüzlüklerini aşma ve son noktada makina-insan birlikteliğine ulaşma arzusu ortaya konmaya çalışılacaktır. Özellikle belirtilmesi gereken nokta, makalede Nâzım Hikmet’in transhümanist olduğunun savlanmadığıdır; bunun yerine transhümanizm kavramının, şiiri değerlendirme sürecinde bir açılım kazandıracağı öne sürülmüştür. Böylelikle tespit edebildiğimiz kadarıyla modern Türk şiiri incelemelerinde daha önce başvurulmayan transhümanizm kavramından şiir incelemeleri konusunda nasıl yararlanılabileceği konusunda bir model önerisi de sunulması amaçlanmıştır.
COMPARISON OF NON-INVASIVE MECHANICAL VENTILATION AND NASAL CANNULA USE IN DEEP SEDATION PROCEDURES PERFORMED FOR DENTAL TREATMENTS OF CHILDREN
Authors: ORBAY YAŞLI Seher , GÜNAY CANPOLAT Dilek , DEMİRBAŞ Ahmet Emin
Published: December 2021

For deep sedation procedures, supplemental oxygen is usually administered via a nasal cannula to the patients. Non-invasive mechanical ventilation (NIMV) is the oxygenation method, especially used in the treatment of hypoxia. We aimed to compare the use of nasal cannula and NIMV applications as oxygenation methods for deep sedation procedures in the dental treatments of children, especially in terms of patient safety and the convenience of the dentist to apply the treatment. Patients were divided into two groups as the nasal mask group (M) and the nasal cannula group (N). For oxygenation, while a nasal cannula was used for group N, NIMV with a nasal mask was applied for group M. Hemodynamic parameters of the patients, complications and dentist's satisfaction degree were recorded and compared. Saturation of blood oxygen (SpO2) was significantly higher in group M after induction of anesthesia and in the fifth minute of the procedure. Hypoxia (SpO2 ≤90) event number during the procedure was significantly higher in group N. Surgeon satisfaction was significantly higher in group M. We concluded that, in children undergoing deep sedation for dental treatments, NIMV applied with a nasal mask reduces the risk of hypoxia and is safer than using a nasal cannula.

Araştırma hemşirelik öğrencilerinin ağrı inançları ve ağrı korkuları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amacıyla tanımlayıcı olarak yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri Ankara’da bulunan bir devlet üniversitesinin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi Hemşirelik Bölümü’nde eğitim gören ve araştırmaya katılmaya gönüllü 391 öğrenciden toplanmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında Tanıtıcı Özellik Formu, Ağrı İnançları Ölçeği, Ağrı Korkusu Ölçeği-III kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde sayı, yüzde, ortalama, standart sapma, minimum ve maksimum değerleri ile Bağımsız Gruplar t Testi, Tek Yönlü ANOVA Testi ve Tukey Testi kullanılmıştır. Ölçekler ve alt boyut puanları arasındaki ilişki Pearson korelasyon testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Araştırmada, öğrencilerin ağrı inançları puan ortalaması 3.15±0.56, ağrı korkusu puan ortalaması 2.86±0.57 bulunmuştur. Ağrı inançları ile ağrı korkusu arasında negatif yönlü çok zayıf bir ilişki bulunmuştur (r=-.105, p=0.038). Buna göre ağrı inançları yüksek olan öğrencilerin ağrı korkusu azalmaktadır. Ayrıca ağrının sebebini psikolojik nedenlere bağlayan öğrencilerin, şiddetli ağrı korkusu azalmakta, hafif ağrı korkusu artmaktadır. Ağrının nedenini organik nedenlere bağlayan öğrencilerin hafif ağrı korkusu ve tıbbi ağrı korkusu azalmaktadır. Çalışmamızda öğrencilerin cinsiyet, okudukları sınıf, ağrısı olduğunda farmakolojik ve nonfarmakolojik yöntem kullanma durumu ve ağrı yaşama sıklığı ile ölçek alt boyut puanları arasında anlamlı farklılık olduğu belirlenmiştir. Araştırmada ağrı inançları ve ağrı korkusunun müfredatta ele alınması ve ağrı değerlendirmesi ve ağrıya yaklaşım konusunun bakım uygulamalarına entegre edilmesi önerilmektedir.

Dünyada ve ülkemizde etkisini gösteren Covid-19 pandemisi, milyonlarca hastaya cerrahi bakım verilmesini olumsuz yönde etkilemiştir. Pandemi yönetimi ve pandeminin cerrahi operasyonlar üzerindeki etkileri hakkında çok az bilgiye ulaşılabilmektedir. Kısa bir süre içinde birkaç perioperatif kılavuz yayınlanmıştır. Ancak pek çok öneri çelişkilidir ve deneyimlere dayanmaktadır. Cerrahi operasyonların sık yapıldığı bölgeler, aynı zamanda pandemiden en çok etkilenen bölgelerdir. Bu bölgelerde çok sayıda cerrahi operasyon iptal edilmek ya da ertelenmek zorunda kalmıştır. Pandeminin, cerrahi tedavinin doğası (anestezi kullanımı, ameliyathaneler, koruyucu ekipman ve perioperatif bakım ihtiyacı) nedeniyle, hastaları orantısız bir şekilde etkilemektedir. Postpandemik değerlendirme ve gelecek planlama, bir pandemi sırasında popülasyon için uygun cerrahi bakımı sürdürmenin önemli bir parçası olmalıdır. Postpandemik aşamada, cerrahi hizmetlerin yeniden normal haline dönmesi için pandemi sürecinde birikmiş vakaların, iş yükünü uygun bir şekilde azaltmak amacıyla mevcut kapasitenin geliştirilmesi gerekecektir. Bu derlemede, COVID-19 pandemisinin cerrahi hizmetlerin sunulması üzerindeki etkilerine yer verilmektedir.

Published: December 2021

Background: In this study, we aimed to assess the cognitive determinants of weight control behaviors by dietary patterns among postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Methods: This cross-sectional study, based on the theory of planned behavior (TPB) was conducted from July to December 2017 among 240 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis in Tabriz, Iran. A validated and reliable TPB-based instrument, namely Weight-CuRB, and the food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) were used. Results: The results of exploratory factor analysis (EFA) indicated three dietary patterns (total variance explained=24.44%); healthy (n=71), mixed (n=78), and western (n=91). In addition, food items consumed by participants were classified into twenty-two food groups for dietary pattern analysis. In the healthy and western dietary patterns, attitude (β: 0.140, P<0.001) and subjective norms (SNs) (β: 0.498, P<0.01) were the only predictors of weight control behavior, respectively. In the women with healthy and western patterns, the TPB-based variables altogether explained 11% and 16% of variations in the behavior, respectively. Among all patients, the TPB-based variables explained 12.2% of variations in weight control behavior, within which SNs were the only significant predictor of the behavior (β=-0.199, P<0.01). Conclusion: Our findings highlighted the remarkable role of dietary patterns in the associations between weight control and its cognitive determinants. Dietary patterns should be considered while designing weight control educational interventions among women with osteoporosis. In such interventions, promoting SNs and perceived behavioral control (PBC) should be considered as the core strategies to promote the behaviors among the patients who follow an unhealthy diet.

Published: December 2021

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has caused patients with chronic diseases to face various challenges. The present qualitative study aimed to explore adherence to treatment in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: This qualitative content analysis was conducted from September 2020 to February 2021. Online in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 patients with CAD after discharge from Nemazi and Al-Zahra heart hospitals, Shiraz, Iran. Data management was done via MAXQDA 12 software using conventional content analysis based on the method proposed by Graneheim and Lundman. Results: The results revealed three main categories, nine subcategories, and 431 primary codes. The first category was ‘improved self-care in the shadow of COVID-19‘ (Improving self-care due to fear of COVID-19, ‘utilization of alternative strategies, and reinforcement of self-care beliefs). The second category was ‘redefinition of support systems’ (need for a support system, seeking for alternative support systems, and changes in social interactions). The last category was ‘barriers to treatment adherence’ (shortage of financial resources, need to adjust with working conditions, and mental conflicts). Conclusion: The results indicated that the COVID-19 threats encouraged the patients with CAD to adhere to their care principles. Nonetheless, the restrictions resulting from the pandemic caused problems in adherence to treatment. Thus, redefinition of the support systems in accordance with the present conditions are recommended.
The association of depression with metabolic syndrome parameters and malondialdehyde (MDA) in obese women: A case-control study
Authors: Vaghef-Mehrabani Elnaz , Izadi Azimeh , Ebrahimi-Mameghani Mehrangiz
Published: December 2021

Background: There is evidence for a bidirectional association between obesity and depression, and obesity is the main risk factor for metabolic syndrome (MetS). This study aimed to compare oxidative stress and MetS features between depressed and non-depressed obese women and study the association of depressive symptoms, oxidative stress, and components of MetS. Methods: In this case-control study conducted in Tabriz (East Azarbaijan, Iran), obese women (body mass index [BMI]: 30-40 kg/m2 ) with a primary diagnosis of major depressive disorder (MDD; based on diagnostic interview with a psychiatrist; n=75) and their age-matched non-depressed controls (n=150) were enrolled. Beck Depression Inventory-version II (BDI-II) was used to assess depressive symptoms in both groups. Anthropometric parameters, blood pressure, fasting blood sugar (FBS), lipid profile and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured. Results: No significant differences in anthropometric parameters and blood pressure were observed between the two groups. However, FBS of the MDD group was significantly higher than the control (P<0.05). FBS was significantly correlated with BDI-II scores (r=0.158, P=0.017). No significant difference in lipid profile was observed between the groups. Serum MDA level was significantly lower in the MDD group and was inversely associated with BDI-II scores (r=-0.328, P<0.001). Overall, MDD was not significantly associated with MetS in our study (OR=0.848, 95% CI: 0.484, 1.487; P=0.566). Conclusion: Although we found a correlation between higher depressive symptoms and some adverse metabolic outcomes, our findings do not support a significant association between MDD and MetS.

Background and aims: Iran had passed the third peak of COVID-19 pandemic, and was probably witnessing the fourth peak at the time of this study. This study aimed to model the spread of COVID-19 in Iran in order to predict the short-term future trend of COVID-19 from April 23, 2021 to May 7, 2021. Methods: In this study, a modified SEIR epidemic spread model was proposed and the data on the number of cases reported by Iranian government from February 20, 2020 to April 23, 2021 were used to fit the proposed model to the reported data using particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm. Then the short-term future trend of COVID-19 cases were predicted by using the estimated parameters. Results: The results indicated that the effective reproduction number increased in Nowruz (i.e., Persian New Year, 1400) and it was estimated to be 1.28 in the given period. According to the results from the short-term prediction of COVID-19 cases, the number of active confirmed cases in the fourth peak was estimated to be 516411 cases on May 2, 2021. Conclusion: Following the results from our short-term prediction, implementing strict social distancing policies was found absolutely necessary for relieving the Iran’s health care system of the tremendous burden of COVID-19.
ADDRESSING LOSS AND NOSTALGIA: TWO CUBAN DIASPORIC NOVELS OF THE NINETIES
Authors: Matute Castro Arturo
Published: December 2021

My study analyzes two texts that are essential for understanding the Cuban literary diaspora in the 1990s. By looking at the representation of the migrant experience in both Jesus Diaz's novel La piel y la mascara (1996) and Inventario secreto de La Habana (2004) by Abilio Estevez, I examine their significance for the corpus of diasporic literature that has been central to Cuban society for the past sixty years. My article addresses not only the way in which these works are contextualized as part of a diasporic literature tradition, but also how loss and nostalgia play an influential role in shaping the identity of the migrant subject.
FACTORS INFLUENCING THE COMPREHENSION OF CONVERSATIONAL IMPLICATURES BY NATIVE AND NON-NATIVE SPEAKERS OF ENGLISH: AN EMPIRICAL STUDY INSPIRED BY BOUTON’S (1988)
Authors: Kavetska Alisa-Anastasiia
Published: December 2021

The main goal of the present study has been to examine implicature comprehension in native and foreign/second language speakers of English from different linguistic backgrounds. The project was inspired by an earlier work of Bouton (1988), whose objective was to measure the influence of cultural background on the ability to grasp implied meanings in English, by comparing native and non-native speakers' performance. A modified digital version of the original multiple-choice test (Bouton 1988) was used to collect the data. Gricean (1989) theory of conversational implicature served as a theoretical framework for the study. The quantitative analysis of the data collected from the speakers of 33 languages was compared against the original results and the scope of the analysis was expanded to incorporate the examination of other factors affecting implicature understanding in native and nonnative languages. The present results corroborate some of the earlier findings and suggest that language competence and cultural background are crucial factors in understanding implicated meanings.
THE PORTRAIT OF A MODERN WOMAN IN THE POETRY OF WANDA MELCER
Authors: Sobieraj Sławomir
Published: December 2021

The article tackles the topie of womanhood as a typical motif in Wanda Melcer' s poetry, a topie which in historical-literary studies has so far been insufficiently discussed. Through the analysis of selected poems from her two published volumes as well as from other scattered poems, the portrait of a modern woman as presented in that poetry has been sketched out. This woman is a person who takes part in civilisational, social and manner-related changes. Her relations to culture, art and literature, her vitality and being active in life, all attest to her abandonment of roles imposed by the patriarchal system. It has been shown that the "new woman" breaks taboos and is educated. Above all she is independent and selfreliant, desires success and thirsts for new experiences, as demonstrated by how she frequently changes her surroundings and appropriates new spaces. She moulds her identity in confrontation with the outside world, she is open to otherness and changeability. At the same time she maintains personal consistency. Her creative identity is related to acting upon the principle of choice, and not obligation. Due to the multitude of biographical references present, the portrait of the female heroine contained in Wanda Melcer's poetry can be seen as a self-portrait of the author herself.
“MY TONGUE SWORE BUT MY HEART DID NOT”: VINDICATING ORDINARY LANGUAGE PHILOSOPHY AGAINST THE PROCUSTEAN BED OF SCIENTISM IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF LANGUAGE
Authors: Pérez Chico David
Published: December 2021

Often vilified, if not outright rejected, ordinary language philosophy has been sustained, from its very beginnings, due to the farne of authors such as Austin and the later Wittgenstein; but not, however, on its own merits. These, w hen recognized, are branded as either constituting a bad philosophy of language, or simply a bad philosophy altogether. Thus, same charitable interpretations have tried to domesticate its methods to make it compatible with a mare orthodox philosophy of language. Very gradually, however, this situation is changing, largely thanks to the influence that Stanley Cavell's philosophy is having on several generations of philosophers. The main thing is to convince ourselves that ordinary language philosophy is not strictly speaking a philosophy of language. It is a philosophy that proceeds from the ordinary and pays attention to the importance that the ordinary has for philosophy. We will, in the course of this article, analyze the criticisms and attempts to domesticate ordinary language philosophy and will anticipate Cavell's defense of the ordinary language philosophy as practiced by Austin and Ryle in Cavell's inheritance of the farmer.

Published: December 2021

Technological developments have a considerable influence on education, especially in learning media. Learning media is no longer conventional but is starting adapted with existing technology. The results of the initial observations found that the majority of senior high schools already have facilities for technology-based learning media, but the utilization of technology-based learning media is still very low. This resulted in less utilization of school facilities which already provided. Based on these observations and references from existing researches, it is assumed that e-learning, which is one of the technology-based learning media, can be used as a learning media for blended learning models. This research purpose was to produce an e-learning as learning media and the assessment level of practicality. This research used the Research and Development’s method with four-D development procedures to examine the level of practicality. To assess the level of practicality of e-learning, an assessment through a questionnaire was given to randomly selected subjects. The practicality assessment questionnaire consists of three main indicators such as indicators state of use, effectiveness of learning time and indicators of benefits. Referring to the results of the assessment, the average level of e-learning’s practicality is 80.70% so it can be concluded that e-learning is practical to be used as a learning media.

Published: December 2021

With the increase of the population appeared the need to increase the agricultural production. However, this desideratum comes with a series of requirements that are somewhat contradictory:

- reducing the use of pesticides; - reducing the quantities of agricultural fertilizers by optimizing their use;

- the use of more environmentally friendly technologies;

- cost reduction.

Thus appeared the concept of "precision agriculture" that meets the requirements listed. This concept involves processing a large volume of digitized data. The data must be purchased with appropriate means, processed with specialized software and interpreted by qualified specialists.

The software also generates the data necessary for the practical application, on farms, of the measures necessary to achieve a precision agriculture.
