Authors: Kovancı Ozan , Boğoçlu Muharrem Erdem
Published: March 2023

Glass has become an increasingly popular material in modern home appliances due to its sleek, aesthetic appearance and durability. Washing machine manufacturers have followed this trend, incorporating glass as a key component in their designs. However, glass door breakage failure is a common issue that can cause serious injuries and damage. Glass door failure can occur suddenly or gradually and can be caused by several factors, including thermal shock, impact, wear and tear, and manufacturing defects. Understanding the failure modes of washing machine glass doors is crucial for developing effective solutions to prevent glass door failure in washing machines. The most common failure of glass in washing machines is subjected to repeated thermal shocks due to the frequent fluctuations in temperature during the washing and drying cycles. This thermal stress can cause the glass to crack, leading to safety hazards and costly repairs for consumers.

The aim of this paper is to investigate the induced thermal shock stresses on washing machine glass and to propose potential solutions to mitigate the risk of glass breakage. The study will be carried out through a combination of experimental data collecting and numerical simulations including washing cycle simulation and experimental test scenario. The numerical simulations will use finite element analysis to model the thermal stresses experienced by the glass during the washing and drying cycles.

This paper is organized as follows. At the first part, the study will provide a literature review of existing research on thermal shock in glass and its effects on washing machines. Secondly, it will present the methodology used in this study, including details on the numerical simulations and experimental testing. Third part, covers the presentation of the results of the study, including the stress profiles of the glass samples and the observed damage. Fourth part will discuss the implications of the results and propose potential solutions to mitigate the risk of glass breakage in washing machines. Final part will conclude the paper with a summary of the key findings and suggestions for future research.

Overall, this study seeks to contribute to the development of safer and more reliable washing machines, by shedding light on the thermal shock stresses experienced by the glass components and proposing solutions to mitigate the associated risks.

Published: March 2023

The Big Data contains essential information for large organizations to provide new insight potential. Due to the new technological developments that have developed with Industry 4.0, data is produced in increasing volumes. Data Sharing Platforms are needed to cope with the volumes of this data and to transform data into valuable information. In line with this need, a document-based data-sharing platform software architecture is proposed within the scope of this research. The Data Sharing Platform Architecture we recommend; is designed for a document-based data management platform designed to process data at scale for analytical purposes. In the proposed study, Metadata management is used to prevent the large volume of data obtained from becoming complex and unusable. The proposed architecture has a metadata store with an enriched toolset to identify the data owner and store the version and lineage information. In the study, to provide easy access to the correct data, the locations of the data needed are shown to the users in detailed figures. To clean the data in the most appropriate quality, additional development studies are integrated into the system that will enable the user to pre-process the data. There is an operational security control to use the data securely. A standard user group management, which may vary according to operating systems, is integrated into the proposed software architecture. Again, the proposed software architecture categorizes the data by tagging it in stochastic data sets. It can offer suggestions in a way that can make suggestions according to the roles of the following users. In addition, a version and rule adaptation method is provided to deal with changes over time. A personalized rule customization method is proposed to meet the system's need to respond to the specific needs of each user.We present the details of the document-based data-sharing platform software architecture we are developing within the scope of this conference paper.

Authors: Barstugan Mucahid
Published: March 2023

Brain tumours are one of the most challenging medical conditions to diagnose and treat. Accurate and timely classification of brain tumours is critical for effective treatment planning and patient management. Machine learning algorithms have shown great promise in improving the accuracy of brain tumour classification. This study implemented high-grade glioma (HGG) and low-grade glioma (LGG) classification on four different 3D-MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scans (FLAIR, T1, T1c, T2). By using four different scans, 15 different combinations were created for classification process. 3D Discrete Wavelet Transform was used to transform tumour images for feature extraction stage. 36 different wavelet types were used for image transformation. First Order Statistics (mean, variance, kurtosis, skewness, entropy, energy) were extracted from transformed images of 36 wavelet types. Support Vector Machines (SVM) algorithm classified the FOS features that were obtained on BraTS 2017 dataset. The 2-fold, 5-fold, and 10-fold cross-validations are implemented and six metrics (sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision, F1-score, AUC) evaluated the performance of proposed method. Consequently, proposed method achieved remarkable scores of 95.23% (sensitivity), 78.81% (specificity), 90.89% (accuracy), 92.59% (precision), 93.89% (F1-score), and 87.02% (AUC) for HGG/LGG classification of 3D brain MRI data on T1+T1c+T2 combination by 2-fold cross validation.

Authors: Engelgardt Piotr , Krzyżanowski Maciej , Kuriata Elżbieta , Kuriata Grzegorz
Published: March 2023

Background: Therapy based on medicinal cannabis or medical marijuana has attracted much international attention in recent years.Aim of the study: To assess the sale of medical marijuana in the Warminsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship between March 2019 and September 2020, estimate medical marijuana demand, and attempt to explain at least some of the reasons for the identified discrepancies.Material and methods: The study used data on medical marijuana sales in the Warminsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship collected by the Voivodeship Pharmaceutical Inspectorate in Olsztyn.Results: Medical marijuana is sold in trace amounts in the Warminsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship, although the available data indicate a dynamic increase in sales.Conclusions: Medical marijuana is available for sale in pharmacies in Poland in the form of pharmaceutical raw material. Currently, its sale, at least in the Warminsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship, is particularly small, though it is very likely that its future sales will increase. Despite this, there are no readily available reliable sources of information in Poland about the known benefits and dangers of medical marijuana use. In this situation, reliable knowledge needs to be disseminated to doctors and patients to safely achieve its therapeutic potential.
DETERMINATION OF CONDENSABLE PARTICULATE MATTER RELEASED BY THE COMBUSTION OF SOLID FUELS IN LOW-POWER BOILERS
Authors: Cieślik Ewelina , Kwaśniok Piotr , Rachwał Tomasz , Kowalczyk Piotr
Published: March 2023

Despite significant emission control steps in recent decades, damage to air quality caused byparticulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 m or less is now a major concern on a global scale.Condensable particulate matters (CPM) due to their significant contribution to the totalconcentration of particulate matter and their small aerodynamic size (below 2.5 m) are now ofwidespread interest. CPMs produced in low-power solid fuel heating systems can be one of themain components of the total mass of fine particles present in the air we breathe. The operatingconditions of large power installations and small heating boilers differ significantly, therefore itis necessary to adapt the research methods adapted to industrial installations, to the low-powerboilers. In the tests, three fuels were combusted in two low-power boilers (18 kW boiler witha suction feeder and 5class 14 kW boiler with a screw feeder): bituminous coal, pine and sprucewood pellets and cereal straw pellets. An EPA 202 method was used to collect the CPM. Qualitativeand quantitative analyses of inorganic and organic CPM components were performed. Analysesof the inorganic part of the CPM included the determination of metals m.in Na, Ca, Fe, Mg, Al,K, and water-soluble ions, m.in SO42, Na+, K+ and Cl, while analyses of the organic part of theCPM comprised the determination of PAHs. Differences were observed in the amount of CPMgenerated depending on the fuel used and the type of low-power boiler used. CPM emissions arerelatively high and constitute a large part of total particulate matter, so the impact of CPM on theenvironment cannot be ignored and we should pay special attention to its research and control,especially from small solid fuel heating boilers.

Authors: GUDZBELER Grzegorz , Nepelski Mariusz
Published: March 2023

Collisions and accidents involving emergency vehicles are an important element of road accidentsin the world in the context of road safety. At the same time, there are no precise data that wouldallow assessing this phenomenon. The number of events, their social and economic costs havea dramatic impact on the functioning of, among others, emergency medical services and the abilityof the state to provide emergency services to citizens at the appropriate level. Economic changesmean that the labour market for drivers of emergency vehicles undergoes changes that may affectthe quality of human resources. Consequently, it is crucial to propose ways of achieving andmaintaining an appropriate level of competence and skills of drivers of emergency vehicles. A fullanalysis of the risk related to this area requires knowledge of the current state, trends, changesand the severity of the problems, so that the proposed methods are economically justified andallow minimising the risk related to road incidents that involve non-police emergency vehiclesto an acceptable level. The article will present the results of research aimed at understanding thecurrent state of road safety related to road incidents involving non-police emergency vehicles.An attempt was made at identifying trends and changes in this area as well as ways to improve thecompetences of emergency vehicle drivers.

Published: March 2023

Left ventricular thrombi are mostly seen after complicated myocardial infarction, endocarditis, and myocarditis. Left ventriculotomy is the most common approach for removing a left ventricular thrombus and treating an aneurysm.  However, it may occur without a ventricular aneurysm. Myectomy may cause many cardiac complications for vulnerable myocardium. Herein, we describe the case of a 51-year-old male treated with the successfully transaortic cardioscopic approach for left ventricular thrombectomy with a mobile thrombus and no myocardial aneurysm.
Usefulness of red cell distribution width as a predictor of amputation after embolectomy in acute lower limb ischemia
Authors: Şahin Serpil
Published: March 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to determine whether red cell distribution width (RDW) is an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in patients who underwent surgical embolectomy for acute lower limb ischemia. Patients and methods: This retrospective study included 245 patients who underwent surgical embolectomy for acute lower limb ischemia between January 2008 and June 2012. Patients who had thrombosis of the atherosclerotic lesion and iliac or femoral stent thrombosis were excluded. The patients were divided into two groups according to the need for limb amputation after the initial embolectomy: 42 were in the limb amputation group (33 males, 9 females; mean age: 67.2±9.1 years; range, 52 to 85 years), and 203 were in the limb salvage group (132 males, 71 females; mean age: 58.4±9.3 years; range, 44 to 71 years). A multinomial logistic regression analysis was applied to determine the independent predictive effect of RDW and other parameters on major/minor amputation. The analysis was multivariately adjusted for age and sex to eliminate the confounding effect of other variables. Results: Age (odds ratio [OR]=1.131, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.074-1.191, p<0.001), recurrent embolism in the same limb (OR=2.898, 95% CI: 1.238-6.780, p=0.01), urea level (OR=1.037, 95% CI: 1.013-1.062, p=0.003), and RDW (OR=1.324, 95% CI: 1.006-1.741, p=0.04) were significantly associated with the risk of major amputation in unadjusted multinominal logistic regression analysis, whereas the association of RDW with the risk of major amputation did not remain when adjusted for age and sex (OR=1.191, 95% CI: 0.963-1.474, p=0.10). Conclusion: In conclusion, RDW may have a role in predicting adverse outcomes in patients treated for acute lower limb ischemia. However, it cannot be used as a stand-alone predictive marker.
Giant pseudoaneurysm due to Dacron graft degeneration: A case report
Authors: Durmaz Ayşegül
Published: March 2023

Knitted Dacron grafts are often preferred as they are easy to process, soft, and flexible; they also tend to expand due to their high porosity. Bleeding and pseudoaneurysm formation at the anastomotic site are common complications of vascular surgery, but nonanastomotic bleeding due to degeneration of Dacron graft's textile structure is rare. Here, we present a 70-year-old male diagnosed with a giant pseudoaneurysm that continues from the femoral artery to the popliteal artery formed due to the degeneration of the previous seven-year-old prosthetic graft. The pseudoaneurysm continued to be the source of arterial flow with its capsule, and the arterial flow into it was able to provide blood supply to the lower extremity without causing ischemia. The patient underwent surgery to excise the giant pseudoaneurysm and create a new bypass between the femoral and popliteal arteries. Today, the durability of prostheses is becoming increasingly important, and modifications in the manufacturing process have made Dacron grafts more resistant to cyclic pulsatile stretching and facilitated the adaptation of the prosthetic material to the host tissue. Despite all the remarkable innovations over the last 50 years, complications of prosthetic grafts can result in fatal bleeding. This situation emphasizes the importance of close follow-up and detailed clinical and radiological evaluation of patients.

Authors: Yurtsever Kum Nurcan
Published: March 2023

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of voice therapy in patients with mutational falsetto with objective and subjective methods. Patients and Methods: In this retrospective study, 18 male patients (mean age: 17.2±3.7 years; range, 14 to 26 years) diagnosed with mutational falsetto underwent acoustical analysis between May 2020 and January 2023 using Praat software. For objective acoustic analyses, fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, and maximum phonation time parameters were used. For subjective analyses, the GRBAS (Grade, Roughness, Breathiness, Asthenia and Strain) scale and the voice handicap index were used. Pre- and post-voice therapy subjective and objective parameters were compared. Results: The mean pre-voice therapy fundamental frequency value of the patients was 183.63±22.18 Hz, while the post-therapy value was 125.03±15.52 Hz. The mean pre-voice therapy voice handicap index score of the patients was 30.33±3.67, whereas the post-therapy score was 9.77±2.48. While the GRBAS scale value of the patients was 7.38±1.24, post therapy score was 1.55±1.29. As a result of the comparison of the objective and subjective values before and after the therapy, a statistically significant difference was found (p<0.001). Conclusion: Mutational falsetto can be treated with the use of inexpensive sound analysis programs that do not require special hardware in clinical practice and with sound therapy methods.

Published: March 2023

Objectives: The aim of this research was to evaluate the correlation between the increased nasal mucociliary clearance time (NMCT) and chest computed tomography severity scores (CT-SS) and acute phase biomarkers in patients diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pneumonia. Patients and Methods: A total of 116 hospitalized patients were included in the prospective study between November 2021 and June 2022. For the measurement of the NMCT, all patients underwent the saccharin test. The patients were separated into two groups: Group 1, which included 53 patients (28 females, 25 males; mean age: 50.1±13.2 years; range, 19 to 75 years) with an NMCT of 7-13 min, and Group 2, comprising of 63 patients (32 females, 31 males; mean age: 52.3±12.1 years; range, 30 to 82 years) with an NMCT of 14-21 min. The CT-SS was adapted from a previous method including ground-glass opacity, interstitial opacity, and air entrapment and was used to express the severity and rate of involvement of COVID-19 pneumonia. Results: The mean CT-SS was 3.8±1.6 in Group 1 and significantly higher in Group 2 with 6.2±2.0 (p<0.001). In addition, a strong positive correlation was determined between the NMCT and CT-SS (r=0.711). The mean lung lobe involvement was 3.6±1.5 in Group 1 and 4.8±0.5 in Group 2, and the difference was statistically significant (p<0.001). The mean ferritin levels showed a statistically significant difference at 244.6±146.9 mg/L in Group 1 and 436.5±449.1 mg/L in Group 2 (p=0.038). Conclusion: The saccharin clearance test is not routinely used in clinical practice but with the lights of our study’s results increased NMCT results correlates with pneumonia severity scores in CT and it may be useful in the prediction of prognosis of pneumonia in COVID-19 patients.

Published: March 2023

Cytoplasmic lipid droplets (CLD's) formation is critical for lactation and health and so it could be detrimental in upholding the formation of CLD's in bovine mammary epithelial cells (MAC-T). We therefore, treated MAC-T cells with differentiation medium containing alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) (100 μM) and thiazolidenediones (TZD's)(10 μM) and observed CLD's formation in cellular cytoplasm with Oil-red-O staining and elution index percentage. We also observed significant up-regulation of adipogenic and down regulation of epithelial markers. In conclusion, 100 μM ALA plus 10 μM TZD's resulted in formation of CLD's and subsequent differentiation of MAC-T cells.

Published: March 2023

An experiment was conducted to study the effect of dietary supplementation of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) on the performance of Vanaraja laying hens. Five experimental diets were formulated by supplementing without (T0), and with MOLM @ 0.5 kg (T0.5), 1.0 kg (T1.0), 1.5 kg (T1.5) and 2.0 kg (T2.0) per 100 kg basal diet. Sixty laying hens (22 weeks) were divided into 5groups (each group had 4 replicates with 3 laying hens per replicate)and were randomly fed the above 5 experimental diets. All the birds were reared on wire mesh floored cages during the experimental period of 8 weeks. The MOLM contained 27.27% CP, 3.76% EE, 18.53% CF, 11.50% TA and 0.37% AIA. There was improvement (P<0.05) in egg production and feed conversion ratio (FCR) in T0.5 than T0. The average egg weight in T2.0 was lower compared to T0 and T0.5. The egg quality characteristics viz. albumen (%), yolk (%), shell (%), shape index and shell thickness (mm) were similar for all the treatments.The feed cost to produce dozen egg was highest for T0 (rupees 27.98) and lowest for T0.5 (rupees 22.33). It can be concluded that supplementation of Moringa oleifera leaf meal @ 0.50 kg/100kg diet in Vanaraja laying hens was beneficial in terms of improved egg production, better FCR and reduced cost of feed to produce dozen eggs.

Published: March 2023

Organizing major events is one of the key driving mechanisms for increasing the competitiveness of destination cities, especially for the event host city. In addition to major events, community festivals and local celebrations also play an important role in increasing opportunities for creating lasting heritage because they reflect the unique city culture and their preservation of historical traditions become a cultural property. The readiness of the city also helps support a major event format that is appropriate for the context of the city and its identity. This study examined the readiness of a city through the lens of 6 key factors, i.e., geography, history, culture, tourist attractions or event venues, facilities, and transportation system of the city. In addition, the study assessed event potential for a city using criteria that included: having international content; potential to attract a large number of participants and international media; potential to generate economic benefits for the city; community participation activities; potential of the organizer and the event area; and ability to create a positive event experience. The proposals for the major events are divided into 2 types: local events that have potential to be upgraded to major events; and international major events that can be engaged to organize in the area according to the types of event: sports events, entertainment events, creative and lifestyle events, and art and cultural events. The result of the study revealed the criteria for assessing potential areas for hosting major events within the context of the city characteristics and capabilities. In addition, the contribution of this study provides guidance to a city that would like to be the host of a major event and organize the event, using the city’s assets.
La reducción del IVA en los alimentos básicos: evaluación y recomendaciones
Authors: Almunia Miguel , Martínez Santos Javier , Martínez Jorge Ángel
Published: March 2023

El 1 de enero de 2023 el gobierno español redujo el IVA de los alimentos de primera necesidad del 4% al 0%; y otros alimentos básicos pasaron del 10% al 5%. A diferencia de lo que ha ocurrido en otros países, la rebaja del IVA se trasladó en su inmensa mayoría a los precios finales entre enero y febrero, al menos en las grandes superficies. Ahora bien, la medida resultó costosa e ineficiente: destinó un mayor gasto público agregado (en € que se dejan de ingresar por IVA) para las familias de más renta. Cinco de cada diez euros que se dejaron de recaudar fueron a parar al 40% de hogares con mayor capacidad económica. Como la evidencia muestra de forma sistemática, las políticas focalizadas de transferencias a hogares de renta baja suelen ser más efectivas desde el punto de vista distributivo, y más baratas, aunque presenten más dificultades de implementación.

Published: March 2023

La transformación curricular puesta en vigencia a mediados de los años noventa, constituye uno de los más signifcativos cambios en materia educativa de la República Dominicana. Este proyecto introdujo nuevos enfoques, contenidos y métodos didácticos que trasformaron el sistema educativo de este país. Sin embargo, la formación ciudadana quedó rezagada en este proyecto educativo, primero por la transversalidad con que se enfocaba y segundo por el nuevo enfoque didáctico puesto en vigencia a partir de la introducción de la educación moral y cívica al plan de estudios. Este estudio busca exponer las modifcaciones de la formación ciudadana dentro del currículum educativo dominicano, tomando como punto de partida el Plan Decenal de Educación 1992-2002, para llegar a una refexión sobre las necesidades en materia cívica que padece el estudiantado dominicano.

Value Capturing from Tokenized Asset Histories
Authors: Bauer Ingrid , Schwabe Gerhard
Published: March 2023

Digital tokens have sparked the interest of many businesses as they enable them to attribute value to digital objects and create novel ways for handling these. In the context of the used car trade, creating a unique representation of a car’s history (i.e., a tokenized car history) can help reduce information asymmetry and offer potential for businesses aiming to monetize their so far unutilized data resources. Having reached sufficient maturity, businesses developing tokenized asset histories are more and more questioning how they will best capture these newly created values. Applying design science research methods, we (1) propose two designs for offering and pricing tokenized asset histories and (2) evaluate their business implications for its providers through an experimental market game with 102 participants. The results indicate that users can be granted control over the offering and pricing tokenized asset histories without sacrificing its value but significantly increasing its trade and revenue.
In silico Analysis of Molecular Phylogeny of Genes Involved in the Synthesis of Bioactive Compounds in Cyanobacteria Strains Located in Tehran Cascade
Authors: Nowruzi Bahareh , Afshari Ghazal
Published: March 2023

Background: Cyanobacteria is an excellent candidate for discovering bioactive compounds with applications in pharmaceutical industries. Nowadays, the major bioactive metabolites isolated from cyanobacteria are polymerized, nonribosomal peptides (NRPS), or hybrids of both. Despite numerous studies on the gene distribution of bioactive compounds, no studies have been conducted on the cyanobacteria strains found in the Tehran cascade. Objectives: This monitoring study aimed to study the secondary structure of the protein and molecular phylogeny of polypeptides synthase genes and nonribosomal peptides along with the 16S rRNA gene. Methods: In this study, 20 strains of cyanobacteria found in the Tehran Cascade were identified based on a 16rRNA gene sequence. The PCR of the nonribosomal peptides (NRPS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) genes was performed using molecular techniques to analyze the phylogenetic genes responsible for secondary metabolite production. Bioinformatics software was used to predict the composition of peptides, activated amino acids, and signature sequences of the NRPS adenylation module. Finally, the strains studied in the Alborz Herbarium Microbial Culture Collection (CCC) were kept at the Azad Islamic University, Science and Research Unit. Results: The NRPS and PKS genes were found in some strains. Furthermore, the bioinformatics analyses revealed the type of natural compound, the signature sequences, and the predication of the activated amino acid. Clustering of NRPS and PKS protein sequences showed no clear phylogenetic correlation between adenylation domains and the type of activated amino acid, indicating wide diversity within adenylation domains. Conclusions: The biological analysis of polypeptide synthase and nonribosomal peptide synthetases genes may help estimate species that produce natural products and the possible role of these enzymatic complexes in the bio-synthesis of bioactive compounds in the pharmaceutical industry.

Authors: Méndez Delgadillo Litzy Marcela , Rosas Rosario
Published: March 2023

OASIS es una lesión obstétrica común que puede ocurrir durante el parto vaginal. Puede ocurrir espontáneamente o como resultado de una incisión quirúrgica realizada por un obstetra o partera para ampliar el diámetro del tracto de salida. Los desgarros perineales son más comunes en mujeres que dan a luz por primera vez y en casos en los que el período expulsivo es mayor a una hora, hay posiciones persistentes de occipito posterior, el recién nacido pesa más de 4 Kg, se realiza una episiotomía media o se usa un instrumento de parto como fórceps. Las consecuencias de OASIS pueden incluir incontinencia anal y fecal, que pueden aumentar si la reparación se realiza de manera incorrecta. Las secuelas inmediatas de la lesión del esfínter anal incluyen dolor, infección, dispareunia y disfunción sexual. Es importante identificar oportunamente a las mujeres o las prácticas con mayor riesgo de desarrollar un desgarro perineal.

Dopingle Mücadele Yönetimi
Authors: Ömercioğlu Mine
Published: March 2023

Bu bölümde, sporda dopingi önlemeye yönelik oluşturulan organizasyonel yapı ve bu yapının faaliyetleri ana hatları ile özetlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Ayrıca okuyucunun, dopingle mücadeleye yönelik oluşturulan örgütlenmenin mevcut yapısı ile bu yapının temel işleyiş ve uygulamaları hakkında bilgi edinmesi hedeflenmiştir. Dopingin zararlarının giderek arttığının farkına varılmasından bu yana, dopingi önleme çabaları da buna bağlı olarak artış göstermiştir. Bu hareketin öncülüğünü uluslararası iş birlikçi bir anlayışla formal bir yapıda oluşturulan Dünya Dopingle Mücadele Ajansı (WADA) yürütmektedir. Dopingi caydırıcı kılma uygulamaları daha çok tespit etme ve istihbarat odaklı bir yaklaşımla “Ceza” üzerine yoğunlaşmakta, anti-doping uygulamalarını içeren eğitim çalışmaları tamamlayıcı olarak görülmektedir. Bilimsel çalışmalar ise eğitim temelli bir spor ortamının doping yapmaya karşı daha istendik tutumlar sergileyeceğini öngörmektedir. Günümüzde bilimsel veriye dayalı oluşturulan dopingle mücadele stratejileri, kurumsal ve profesyonel bir çerçevede yürütülmektedir. Sporda doping tam olarak önlenemediği sürece, “Dopingle, daha başarılı nasıl mücadele edilebilir?” sorusu bilimsel araştırmaların konusu olacak ve bilim, dopingle mücadele yönetimine sürekli olarak ışık tutacaktır.
