Authors: Zhu Xulong , Huo Binliang , Zhao Qingxia , Wang Lingguo , Ma Jia
Published: July 2022

Objective: To analyze the clinical teaching characteristics of breast surgery and discuss the effect and practical value
of CBL (Case-Based Learning) and PBL (Problem-Based Learning) teaching methods. Method: According to study, we brought
into labelling and exclusion criteria and 100 breast surgery patients admitted to our hospital were selected as research objects from
January 2020 to December 2021. Twenty interns who received clinical teaching were selected as the research objects. The two
groups of subjects were randomly divided into 10+50 groups. There were 10 interns and 50 patients in the control group and 10
interns and 50 patients in the experimental group. The control group received LBL (Lecture-Based Learning) for teaching, and
the interns performed surgical treatment on the patients; The experimental group received CBL+PBL teaching, and the interns
performed surgical treatment on the patients. Then compare the effectiveness of patients’ treatment, the theoretical scores, practical
scores and teaching satisfaction of the two groups of interns. Result: Under different clinical teaching interventions, the treatment
efficiency of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group. At the same time, the average scores
of interns in the experimental group in theory and practice were higher than those in the control group, and their satisfaction with
the teaching content and methods was also significantly higher than that in the control group. Difference between the two groups
has statistical significance. (P<0.05) Conclusion: Problem-Based Learning and Case-Based Learning clinical teaching methods are
effective and have value for promotion.

THE APPLICATION OF SWARA BASED COPRAS AND OCRA METHODS TO SUPPLIER SELECTION PROBLEM
Authors: DEMİRCİ Ayhan
Published: July 2022

The variability in customer demands necessitates careful monitoring of production processes. At this point, supplier selection, which is the first and most important stage of production, gains importance. However, the supplier selection problem is affected by many criteria with different weights depending on the production area. In addition, in today's intense competition, such problems are too important to be left to the intuition of the parties. In this case, multi-criteria decision making techniques, which have provided significant convenience for decision makers in recent years, are very useful.
In this context, the most suitable one among 5 supplier candidates was selected in the study. As a result of the literature research, the criteria affecting the problem; C1-delivery time (days), C2-product unit price (TL), C3-product defect rate (/100 shipments), C4-corporate structure (1-9), C5-economic strength (1-9), C6- logistics location (km.), C7-product quality (1-9) and C8-flexibility (1-9) and necessary information for alternatives were collected. Thus, the criteria in the initial matrix created were weighted with the SWARA technique. Finally, alternative suppliers were listed using COPRAS and OCRA methods and the most suitable supplier was selected.
In the study, the criteria were weighted with the SWARA technique based on three different expert opinions, and the accuracy of the results was confirmed by using the COPRAS and OCRA techniques together, and the reliability of the methods in terms of the results they produced was demonstrated. As a result, it has been determined that the methods used in ranking the alternatives are in harmony with each other and the results are reliable.

Multiple myeloma constitutes a wide spectrum of diseases ranging from slow-growing monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance to rapidly progressing plasma cell leukemia. It is a very rarely diagnosed hematological malignancy in those less than 30 years.
A 25-year-old male presented with complaints of fatigue, low-grade fever. On investigations, he was found to have bicytopeina and features of tumor lysis syndrome. This was initially thought to be consistent with a diagnosis of acute leukemia. Upon further analysis with bone marrow biopsy, serum protein electrophoresis, and immunofixation, the rare diagnosis of IgG myeloma with plasmablastic morphology was confirmed. However, it rapidly progressed and peripheral smear started showing clusters of plasma cells. Despite aggressive treatment, the patient succumbed to the aggressive plasma cell leukemia with an underlying plasmablastic morphology.
This case highlights the possibility of myeloma as one of the differentials in young patients especially the rare plasmablastic variant that can get misdiagnosed as acute leukemia. This aggressive morphology may also show rapid progression to plasma cell leukemia and has an adverse prognosis.

Authors: Bahadori Bozchelooee Atefeh , Bashardoust Tajali Siamak , Fakhari Zahra , Hadizadeh Monavar
Published: July 2022

Introduction: Neck pain is the fourth leading cause of disability worldwide. This study aims to investigate the effects of Electro Acupuncture (EA) versus Laser Acupuncture (LA) on symptoms of women with chronic cervical myofascial pain syndrome.
Materials and Methods: This is a single-blind randomized controlled clinical trial. Thirty women with chronic cervical myofascial pain syndrome were randomly divided into three groups: EA, LA, and sham. The EA group received electrical stimulation through needles at standard acupuncture points, while the LA group received low-intensity laser irradiation at the same points. The passive laser probe was applied for the sham group. The outcome measures were neck pain pressure threshold, neck pain severity, neck disability, and cervical range of motion
Results: The pain severity and disability were significantly lower in the EA group than in the other two groups. The neck range of motion (cervical lateral flexion and rotation) and pain pressure threshold increased significantly in the EA group immediately and one week after the intervention.
Conclusion: Both EA and LA interventions may be effective in alleviating the symptoms of cervical myofascial pain syndrome, but the EA can be more effective in reducing neck pain and disability in women with cervical myofascial pain syndrome.
Arkaik Dönem Roma Toplumunda Hukuki Statüsü Bakımından Çocuk
Authors: KAYAK Sevgi
Published: July 2022

İnsan önce çocuk sonra yetişkin olduğu halde hukuk dünyası çocuk ile yeteri kadar ilgilenmemektedir. Buna hukuk tarihi alanı da dâhildir. Tarihin en eski çağlarında çocuk hukukun bir süjesi olarak değil objesi olarak görülmüştür. Antik Roma dünyasında da durum böyledir. Roma toplumunda çocuk aile içinde ya da dışında hukukun süjesi bağımsız bir birey olarak değil babanın hâkimiyetine tabi, kişi ve malvarlığı alanında hakları bulunmayan ya da haklarını kullanamayan bir kimsedir. Klasik kaynaklar tetkik edildiği zaman çocuk kavramının antik Roma’da hukuki bir kavram olarak yerleşmediği saptanır. Romalıların Klasik hukuktan itibaren fiziki olgunluk yaşı kabul edilen 12/14 yaşının altında kalanları çocuk saydıkları sonucuna yorum yoluyla ulaşılır. Roma hukukunda çocuğun hukuki statüsünü belirleyen patria potestas/baba hâkimiyeti ve tutela/vesayet olmak üzere iki temel rejim vardır. Alieni iuris çocukların hukuki statüsü, bir aileye mensup olmaları dolayısıyla, baba hâkimiyeti demek olan patria potestas kapsamındaki yetkilere göre, sui iuris olanların ise vesayet ilişkilerine göre belirlenmiştir.
Different Manifestations of Neutrality: The Foreign Policies of Spain and Turkey During the Second World War
Authors: SERÇE Uğur
Published: July 2022

A critical point that is not sufficiently addressed in studies of Second World War is the significant differences between the policies followed by states that did not participate in the war. This study undertakes a comparative analysis of the policies pursued by Spain and Turkey during the war, on the basis that comparative studies on neutral states have the potential to enrich research on the Second World War. Although both countries are generally assessed under the term "neutrality", there were important differences between the policies of Spain and Turkey during the Second World War. The variable positions between "neutrality" and "non-belligerency" of these two states constitute the focus of the analysis. The ideological reasons and conditions that enabled Spain to take a close line to the Axis powers and Turkey to the Allies during the war are also among the points emphasized in the study.

INTERSECTIONALITY AND THE UNCERTAIN POSITION OF THE SPECTATOR
Authors: Gradinari rina
Published: July 2022

This paper analyzes intersectionality (constitutive relationship of socially significant categories), on the one hand, as a discursive organization of film structures through which viewers’ identification with the characters on the screen is produced, on the other hand, as an analytical focus in the structures of identification. Cinema works with intersectionality, but sociological models are not suitable for analyzing films in which, for example, genre logics is important, which theories of intersectionality fail to take into account. Cinema also has the capacity to reflect on intersectionality itself, producing an indeterminate viewer stance, which I propose to call queer pleasure. Using the example of Neil Jordan’s thriller “The Crying Game” (1992), the article describes how genre cinema, despite its traditional stereotypical structures, has the aesthetic capacity to destabilize the “male” gaze and thereby the heteronormative identity of the spectator. It focuses on the epistemological uncertainty produced by the inversion of intersectional relationships and the inconsistency of narrative and visual levels, which forces the viewer to question their looks and constantly revise what they see without, however, violating genre logic. Thus, this film connects a political conflict with structures of desire and identification of the spectators. This analysis is undertaken to reconsider L. Mulvey’s famous theses on the potentiality of genre cinema and to complement them with an analytical focus on the structures of intersectionality.
Comparison of Tension Band Wiring Method Applied with K-wire or Cannulated Screw in Mayo 2A Olecranon Fracture Fixation: A Biomechanical Study
Authors: KAYA Murat , ERTEM Fatih
Published: July 2022

Aim: The study aimed to compare the biomechanical stability and strength of the tension band wiring method used to treat mayo 2A olecranon fractures with Kirschner (K)-wire or cannulated screw configurations.
Material and Methods: A total of 24 anatomical ulna models (Sawbones Model 1004, Pacific Research Laboratories, Vashon Island, WA) used in the study were divided into two equal groups of 12, tension band fixation with K-wire (Group 1) and tension band fixation with cannulated screw (Group 2), and groups were compared. The mechanical comparison was performed with a universal measuring machine (Shimadzu Autograph 50 kN; Shimadzu Corp).
Results: Fixation methods comparison (K-wire/cannulated screw) were the main factors that determined the stability and the strength of the internal fixation. The median flexion strength of Group 1 was 107.92 (range, 94.22-121.72) N, and that of Group 2 was 109.67 (range, 105.07-113.86) N. The median varus strength of Group 1 was 100.02 (range, 83.24-102.18) N, and that of Group 2 was 76.32 (range, 68.44-78.43) N. Varus strength and stiffness were significantly higher in the K-wire group than in the cannulated screw group (both p values were <0.001). No significant differences were detected between the groups regarding flexion strength and stiffness (both p values were 0.999).
Conclusion: Although no significant differences were detected between the two fixations in flexion bending cyclic loading, a significantly more stable fixation was achieved in tension banding applied with K-wire in varus bending cyclic loading. No reduction loss was detected during cyclic loading tests in either technique.

Published: July 2022

Background: Sunflower crop being a highly cross pollinated with high yield potential, can be grown in all seasons with its suitability in variety of inter and series cropping systems due to its photo insensitive nature and can be adapted to a variety of environmental conditions also. So keeping in mind of its potential and future use, research was conducted with available lines to study PCA and its diversity that might be used in hybridization programmes. Methods: The 45 lines of sunflower were grown in a randomised block design with three replications at the Research Farm, Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, College of Agriculture, Vijayapur during summer 2018-19 for study on principal component analysis and diversity analysis. Result: At the genotypic stage, the analysis of variance showed highly significant variations among the genotypes for all of the characters. Whereas Divergence analysis using principal component analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis has been shown to be effective in determining which genetically distant parents should be used for hybridization. Divergence in genotypes were divided into nine major groups or clusters and out of nine components, four components had more than one eigen value (Table-2). The first principal component explained 33.40 per cent of total variation, while the second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth principal components explained 23.30, 14.10, 11.19, 6.30, 4.90, 3.60, 1.90 and 0.60 per cent, respectively.

Background: The major abiotic stress limiting the plant growth and productivity across the globe is salinity. This may be overwhelmed by growing salt tolerant varieties. Hence, the present study has been figured out to sort out the salt tolerant and salt sensitive cultivars of finger millet. Methods: In this study 15 cultivars of finger millet (Eleusine coracana L.) seeds were grown at different NaCl concentrations (50 mM, 100 mM, 150 mM and 200 mM) on germination stage. Germination percentage, root length, shoot length, fresh weight, dry weight and vigour index of the seedlings were measured using different concentrations of NaCl. Result: Salt tolerant cultivars were discovered to be GPU 28, GPU 67, ML 365, Udurumallige, PYR1 and GPU 48 at 150 Mm and ML 365 at 200 Mm salt accumulation, while cultivars such as VL 400 and KM252 were very much sensitive to NaCl. Accessions with tolerance to salinity are precious genetic material for future crop improvement program.

An improved A star algorithm for wheeled robots path planning with jump points search and pruning method
Authors: Huang Hongqian , Li Yanzhou , Bai Qing
Published: July 2022

Wheeled robots enjoy popularity in extensive areas such as food delivery and room disinfection. They can lower labor costs, protect human health from infection, and so on. Given the need to avoid obstacles, the path planning of robots is an elementary module. The A* algorithm has been widely used thus far, but it suffers much memory overhead and provides a suboptimal path. Therefore, we propose an improved A* algorithm with the jump point search method and pruning idea. Specifically, the jump point search method reduces the occupancy rate of the open list. The shorter length of the path can be achieved by pruning. Simulation experiments proved that the improvement was effective and practical.

Rubber tree virus (RTV1) was identified as a novel pathogen associated with rubber tree and a potential causal agent of TPD. RTV1 is a monopartite RNA virus that is linear, non-enveloped and has a single-stranded (ss) positive RNA genome of approximately 6081 nucleotides and is composed of two major open reading frames (ORFs), ORF1 (polyprotein), and ORF2 (movement protein. This study aimed to investigate the possibility of rubber genome encoded tree microRNAs (miRNAs) as novel therapeutic targets against RTV1 using in silico algorithms. Mature rubber tree miRNAs are retrieved from the miRBase database and are used for hybridization of RTV1 using five different five different computational algorithms including miRanda, RNA22, RNAhybrid and psRNATarget. A total of eleven common rubber tree miRNAs were identified based on consensus genomic positions. The consensus of four algorithms predicted the hybridization sites of hbr-miR396a and hbr-miR398 at common locus positions 6676, 1840 respectively. To validate the prediction, secondary structures of the consensual rubber tree miRNAs and free energy of duplex binding were calculated using the RNAfold and RNAcofold algorithms respectively. We created a plot between rubber tree miRNAs and RTV1 ORFs by using Circos algorithm. In this study, we predicted eleven consensual rubber tree miRNAs. Among these miRNAs, hbr-miR398 was identified as the most effectual miRNA that may target the ORF1 gene of the RTV1 genome. The predicted data will be important in the development of rubber trees resistant to RTV1.

The article focuses on the integrated environmental accounting model called 'eValue', developed for protected areas and applied in the research programme coordinated by the Italian Ministry of the Environment and aimed at implementing an environmental accounting system for Italian Marine Protected Areas (MPAs). eValue adopts a cost-benefit analysis approach. Financial accounting based on costs and revenues is integrated with environmental accounting, which reflects environmental costs and environmental revenues, i.e. environmental benefits. The environ-mental costs assess the impacts related to human activities in the MPA expressed by calculating the carbon footprint and the environmental benefits of the marine ecosystem services calculated by applying monetary valuation techniques. The values thus estimated flow into the annual flow account, where the value produced (or consumed) by the MPA is estimated by difference. The eValue model was applied to the Porto Cesareo MPA (Italy). eValue showed that the annual benefit-cost ratio reaches a value of 3.4. Furthermore, the ratio of net benefit to public funding is 3.7, completely covering the amount of public transfers and thus summarizing the MPA overall value for money.

The primary objective of this study is to report the initial efficacy data observed with the use of cryopreserved human umbilical tissue allograft for the supplementation of cartilage defects in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis. Our primary endpoints were pain, stiffness, and functional recovery scores. In this ongoing study, 55 participants (age 56-93 years) received a single Wharton's jelly tissue allograft application. The study dose consisted of 150mg of Wharton's jelly allograft suspended in approximately 2mL of sterile Sodium Chloride 0.9% solution (normal saline). Each study knee application was performed under ultrasound guidance in a physician's office. The research methodology consisted of NPRS scores and WOMAC subsection scores including pain, stiffness, and physical function. Study enrollment consisted of 55 patients followed for a post-application duration of 90 days. No adverse events or adverse reactions were reported. The results demonstrated statistically significant improvements of NPRS and WOMAC in initial versus 90-day examination. The data represents Wharton's jelly tissue allograft applications are a safe, non-surgical, and efficacious for patients with symptomatic articular cartilage defects associated with osteoarthritis of the knee.

Our primary objectives were a) to determine the need for, and the availability of point-of-care testing (POCT) for infectious diseases and b) to recommend point-of-care testing strategies and spatial care paths (SCPs) that enhance public health preparedness in regional districts of Thua Thien Hue Province (TTHP), Central Vietnam, where we conducted field surveys. Medical professionals in 7 community health centers (CHCs), 7 district hospitals (DHs) and 1 provincial hospital (PH) participated. Survey questions (English and Vietnamese) determined the status of diagnostic testing capabilities for infectious diseases and other acute medical challenges in TTHP. Infectious disease testing was limited: 6 of 7 CHCs (86%) lacked infectious disease tests. One CHC (14%, 1/7) had two forms of diagnostic tests available for the detection of Malaria. All CHCs lacked adequate microbiology laboratories. District hospitals had few diagnostic tests for infectious diseases (Tuberculosis, Syphilis), blood culture (29%, 2/7), and pathogen culture (57%, 4/7) available. The PH had broader diagnostic testing capabilities but lacked preparedness for highly infectious disease threats (e.g., Ebola, MERS-CoV, SARS, Zika, and Monkeypox). All sites reported having COVID-19 rapid antigen tests; COVID-19 RT-PCR tests were limited to higher tier hospitals. We conclude that infectious disease diagnostic testing should be improved and POC tests must be supplied near patients’ homes and in primary care settings for the early detection of infected individuals and mitigation of the spread of new COVID-19 variants and other highly infectious diseases.

Published: July 2022

Celiac disease (CD) is an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten ingestion in genetically predisposed individuals. In addition to the typical gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, or chronic abdominal pain, CD may also present a wide spectrum of manifestations, including low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis. This review aims to describe the role of CD in the development of skeletal alterations, underlying important clinical aspects and therapeutic implications. The etiopathology of bone lesions in CD is multifactorial and their management is challenging. Here, we provide gastroenterologists and orthopedics with an up-to-date overview on the link between CD and osteoporosis to improve the management of the CD condition.
Clothing Motivation, Online Critical Thinking, and Behavioural Intentions of Clothing Collocation: Mediation Analysis on Chinese Youth
Authors: Li Yingyan , Feng Xiangyuan
Published: July 2022

Recent years have witnessed a boom of fashion bloggings sharing information about clothing and cosmetics on diverse social media platforms. Constant exposure to fashion-related digital information heavily impacts the cognition and behaviour of Chinese youth. Compared to the substantial studies on the impact of social media, scarce research has been conducted on how youth’s cognitive processing of fashion-related digital information interacts with motivational factors to determine the subsequent behaviour. This study made an initial attempt to address this issue by exploring the successive associations between clothing motivation (amotivation, controlled, and autonomous motivation), online critical thinking (for information credibility, objectivity, and relevance), and the subsequent behavioural intentions. A total of 1997 Chinese youths with diverse educational backgrounds voluntarily participated in the study. Results confirmed the direct links between clothing motivation and behavioural intentions, but these links were mediated by different online critical thinking skills. This study provides new insights for both practitioners and scholars in the fields of education, psychology, social media, and marketing.

Hybrid organic-inorganic (dendritic polymer-silica) xerogels containing silver nanoparticles (Ag-Nps) were developed as antibacterial leather coatings. The preparation method is environmentally friendly, based on two biomimetic reactions. Silica gelation and spontaneous (Ag-Np) formation were both mediated by hyperbranched poly (ethylene imine) (PEI) scaffolds of variable Mw (2000-750000). The formation of precursor hydrogels was monitored by dynamic light scattering (DLS). The chemical composition of the xerogels was assessed by Infra-Red Spectroscopy (IR) and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) while the uniformity of the coatings was established by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Release properties of coated leather samples and overall behaviour in water in comparison to untreated analogs were investigated by UV-Vis spectroscopy. Antibacterial activity was tested towards Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus aureus, and antibiofilm properties against Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Escherichia coli, Acinetobacter baumannii, Enterococcus faecalis while SARS-Cov-2 clinical isolate was employed for the first estimation of their antiviral potential. Toxicity was evaluated using the Jurkat E6.1-cell line. Finally, water contact angle measurements were implemented to determine the enhancement of the leather surface hydrophilicity caused by these composite layers. The final advanced products are intended for use in medical applications.
Using the Vertical Distribution of Magnetic Susceptibility in the Assessment of Soil Condition in the Krakow Area, Southern Poland
Authors: Wojas Anna
Published: July 2022

The paper concerns the distribution of apparent magnetic susceptibility in soil profiles located in the areas of topsoil magnetic susceptibility anomalies in Krakow. The type of land use, possible sources of magnetic carriers, and the type of soil were taken into account. Additionally, at each soil profile, a comparison between soil magnetic susceptibility and the results of geochemical analyzes of soil samples was made. The study shows very characteristic changes in magnetic susceptibility with depth, reflecting the interdependencies between natural and anthropogenic factors. A visible magnetic susceptibility maximum at the depth of 10-30 cm is observed at each soil profile. The maximum is associated mainly with the deposition of atmospheric dust and its vertical range depends on the level of anthropopression and natural conditions of soils. At the depth above 40 cm in the eastern part of Krakow, a correlation between the magnetic susceptibility and the soil type (chernozems de-veloped on loess) was found. All indicates that the thicknesses of contaminated upper horizons are not accidental and they depend on human interactions with the environment and the type of soil. An attempt at template establishment with the sources of magnetic particle carriers for different places in the city was made. As the result, in high urbanized sites, the extreme values of magnet-ic susceptibility rapidly change in short vertical distances can identify the richness of anthropo-genic layers with various types of anthropogenic ferrous material and/or additionally Fe-carrying objects buried in soils. In industrialized sites, anthropogenic input plays the most important role in the creation of soil magnetic characteristics. What is more, industrial pollution hides the natural magnetic properties of chernozems. In opposite, the studies at the sites under low anthropopression (mainly located in forests) allow for better insight into magnetic proper-ties arising during pedogenic processes, indirectly giving information about soil conditions. In the forest areas, the lowest values of soil magnetic susceptibility were measured. Additionally, the influence of pedogenic and lithogenic factors on forest soils is manifested in the results. Among the sites concerned, particular attention should be paid to the vicinity of the steel plant because of the agricultural land in the surroundings.
