Küreselleşme Sürecinin Havayolları İşletmeleri Üzerine Etkisi ve Sonuçları
Authors: ESİN Murat , DÜZGÜN Murat
Published: April 2021

Çok boyutlu bir kavram olan küreselleşmenin bir sonucu olarak gerek ulusal gerek uluslararası boyutta artık sınırlar ortadan kalkmış olup, dünyanın bir ucundan diğer ucundaki başka bir yere ulaşım kolay hale gelmiştir. Günümüzde uzaklık tanımaksızın ülkeler arasında sadece ekonomik konuda iş birlikleri oluşmamış bunun yanı sıra, teknik, finansal, ticari, işletmecilik ve kurumsal konularda iş birlikleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Böylece, insanların veya üretilen bir ürünün güvenli ve konforlu bir şekilde ve en kısa süre içerisinde bir yerden başka bir yere taşınması sağlanmıştır. Bunun gerçekleştirilmesinde havayolu taşımacılığı da özel bir öneme sahip olmuştur. Bu süreçte, havayolu işletmeleri küreselleşme sonucu yaşanan yüksek rekabete ve yeni oluşan ekonomik düzene uyum sağlayacak değişimler içerisine girmişlerdir.

Bu çalışmada küreselleşmenin etkisiyle yaşanan değişimler incelenmeye çalışılmıştır.

Published: April 2021

Abstract. Secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) affect human health and
climate change prediction; however, the factors (e.g., temperature, acidity
of pre-existing particles, and oxidants) influencing their formation are not
sufficiently resolved. Using a compact chamber, the temperature and acidity
dependence of SOA yields and chemical components in SOA from α-pinene ozonolysis were systematically investigated under 278, 288, and
298 K temperatures using neutral ((NH4)2SO4) and acidic
(H2SO4+((NH4)2SO4)) seed aerosols. SOA components
with m/z less than 400 were analyzed using negative electrospray ionization
liquid-chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Based on the
slightly negative temperature dependence of the SOA yields, the enthalpies
of vaporization under neutral and acidic seed conditions were estimated to
be 25 and 44 kJ mol−1, respectively. In addition, SOA yields increased
with an increase in the acidity of seed particles (solid/near-solid state)
at low SOA mass loadings, when compared with the seed particle amounts.
Acidity dependence analysis of the chemical formula, molecular mass, and O:C
ratio of the detected compounds indicated the enhanced formation of multiple
oligomers in the wide molecular mass range with a wide range of O:C ratios
under acidic seed conditions. The peak abundances of some chemical compounds
increased with an increase in the acidity of seed particles (e.g., m/z  197,
311, 313, 339, 355, and 383), while decreases in the peak abundances of some
chemical compounds were observed (e.g., m/z 171, 185, 215, 343, and 357). The
acidity dependence could be explained by acid-catalyzed heterogeneous
reactions or acid-catalyzed decomposition of hydroperoxides. In addition,
organosulfate (OS) formation was observed under acidic seed conditions. Six
out of the 11 detected OSs were potentially formed via the aldehyde +
HSO4- pathway.
A generalized Spatio-Temporal Threshold Clustering method for identification of extreme event patterns
Authors: Kholodovsky Vitaly , Liang Xin-Zhong
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Extreme weather and climate events such as floods, droughts, and heat waves can cause extensive societal damages. While various statistical and climate models have been developed for the purpose of simulating extremes, a consistent definition of extreme events is still lacking. Furthermore, to better assess the performance of the climate models, a variety of spatial forecast verification measures have been developed. However, in most cases, the spatial verification measures that are widely used to compare mean states do not have sufficient theoretical justification to benchmark extreme events. In order to alleviate inconsistencies when defining extreme events within different scientific communities, we propose a new generalized Spatio-Temporal Threshold Clustering method for the identification of extreme event episodes, which uses machine learning techniques to couple existing pattern recognition indices with high or low threshold choices. The method consists of five main steps: (1) construction of essential field quantities; (2) dimension reduction; (3) spatial domain mapping; (4) time series clustering; and (5) threshold selection. We develop and apply this method using a gridded daily precipitation dataset derived from rain gauge stations over the contiguous United States. We observe changes in the distribution of conditional frequency of extreme precipitation from large-scale well-connected spatial patterns to smaller-scale more isolated rainfall clusters, possibly leading to more localized droughts and heat waves, especially during the summer months. The proposed method automates the threshold selection process through a clustering algorithm and can be directly applicable in conjunction with modeling and spatial forecast verification of extremes. Additionally, it allows for the identification of synoptic-scale spatial patterns that can be directly traced to the individual extreme episodes, and it offers users the flexibility to select an extreme threshold that is linked to the desired geometrical properties. The approach can be applied to broad scientific disciplines.
Raindrop fall velocity in turbulent flow: an observational study
Authors: Thurai Merhala , Bringi Viswanathan , Gatlin Patrick , Wingo Mathew
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Laboratory measurements of drop fall speeds by Gunn–Kinzer under still air conditions with pressure corrections of Beard are accepted as the “gold standard”. We present measured fall speeds of 2 and 3 mm raindrops falling in turbulent flow with 2D-video disdrometer (2DVD) and simultaneous measurements of wind velocity fluctuations using a 3D-sonic anemometer. The findings based on six rain events are, (i) the mean fall speed decreases (from the Gunn–Kinzer terminal velocity) with increasing turbulent intensity, and (ii) the standard deviation increases with increase in the rms of the air velocity fluctuations. These findings are compared with other observations reported in the literature.
Transmissivity and groundwater flow exert a strong influence on drainage density
Authors: Luijendijk Elco
Published: April 2021

Abstract. The extent to which groundwater flow affects drainage density and erosion has long been debated, but is still uncertain. Here, I present a new hybrid analytical and numerical model that simulates groundwater flow, overland flow, hillslope erosion and stream incision. The model is used to explore the relation between groundwater flow and the incision and persistence of streams for a set of parameters that represent average humid climate conditions. The results show that transmissivityand groundwater flow exert a strong control on drainage density. High transmissivity results in low drainage density and high incision rates and vice versa, with drainage density varying roughly linearly with transmissivity. The model evolves by a process that is defined here as groundwater capture, whereby streams with a higher rate of incision draw the watertable below neighbouring streams, which subsequently run dry and stop incising. This process is less efficient in models with low transmissivity due to the association of low transmissivity and high watertable gradients. A comparison of different parameters shows that drainage density is the most sensitive to transmissivity, followed by parameters that govern initial slope and stream erosion. These results imply that permeability and transmissivity exert a strong control on drainage density, stream incision and landscape evolution and that models of landscape evolution may need to explicitly include groundwater flow.
Simulation of the evolution of biomass burning organic aerosol with different volatility basis set schemes in PMCAMx-SRv1.0
Authors: Theodoritsi Georgia N. , Ciarelli Giancarlo , Pandis Spyros N.
Published: April 2021

Abstract. A source-resolved three-dimensional chemical transport model, PMCAMx-SR (Particulate Matter Comprehensive Air-quality Model with extensions – Source Resolved), was
applied in the continental US to investigate the contribution of the
various components (primary and secondary) of biomass burning organic
aerosol (bbOA) to organic aerosol levels. Two different schemes based on the
volatility basis set were used for the simulation of the bbOA during
different seasons. The first is the default scheme of PMCAMx-SR, and the
second is a recently developed scheme based on laboratory experiments of the
bbOA evolution. The simulations with the alternative bbOA scheme predict much higher total
bbOA concentrations when compared with the base case ones. This is mainly
due to the high emissions of intermediate-volatility organic compounds
(IVOCs) assumed in the alternative scheme. The oxidation of these compounds
is predicted to be a significant source of secondary organic aerosol. The
impact of the other parameters that differ in the two schemes is low to
negligible. The monthly average maximum predicted concentrations of the
alternative bbOA scheme were approximately an order of magnitude higher than
those of the default scheme during all seasons. The performance of the two schemes was evaluated against observed total
organic aerosol concentrations from several measurement sites across the US.
The results were different for the different seasons examined. The default
scheme performed better during July and September, while the alternative
scheme performed a little better during April. These results illustrate the
uncertainty of the corresponding predictions and the need to quantify the
emissions and reactions of IVOCs from specific biomass sources and to
better constrain the total (primary and secondary) bbOA levels.
Exploring the potential relationship between the occurrence of debris flow and landslides

Published: April 2021

Abstract. The present study is to explore the potential relationship between debris flow and landslides by establishing susceptibility zoning maps (SZMs) separately with the use of random forest (RF). Lhünzê county, located in southeastern Tibet, was selected as the study area. The work was carried out with the following steps: (1) an inventory map consisting of 399 landslides and 49 debris flows was determined; (2) slope units and 11 conditioning factors were prepared for the susceptibility modeling of landslide while watershed units and 12 factors were prepared for debris flow; (3) SZMs were constructed for landslide and debris flow, respectively, with the use of RF; (4) the performance of two models was evaluated by 5-fold cross-validation using receiver operating characteristic (ROC), area under the curve (AUC) and statistical measures; (5) the potential relationship between landslide and debris flow was explored by the superimposition of two zoning maps; (6) the Gini index was applied to determine the major factors
and analyze the difference between debris flow and landslides; (7) a combined susceptibility map with two considered hazardous phenomena was
obtained. Two used models had demonstrated great predictive capabilities, with an accuracy of 87.33 % and 85.17 % and AUC of 0.902 and 0.892, respectively. Comparing the overlap of different susceptibility classes for two obtained maps, it was concluded that there is no straightforward relationship between the occurrence of debris flow and landslides. Although most landslides can be converted into debris flow, the area prone to debris flow did not promote the occurrence of a landslide. A susceptibility zoning map composed of two or more hazardous phenomena is comprehensive and significant in this regard, which provides a valuable reference for research studies of disaster-chain and engineering applications.
Micro-cracking and incipient shear microstructures at low-strain deformation of Opalinus Clay: Insights from triaxial testing and broad-ion-beam scanning-electron-microscopy (BIB-SEM)

Published: April 2021

Abstract. A microphysics-based understanding of mechanical and hydraulic processes in clay shales is required for developing advanced constitutive models, which can be extrapolated to long-term deformation. Although many geomechanical laboratory tests have been performed to characterize the bulk mechanical, hydro-mechanical and failure behaviour of Opalinus Clay, important questions remain about microphysics: How do microstructural evolution and deformation mechanisms control the 15 complex rheology over time scales not accessible in the laboratory. In this contribution, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) was used to image microstructures in an Opalinus Clay sample deformed in an unconsolidated-undrained triaxial compression test at 4 MPa confining stress followed by Argon Broad Ion Beam (BIB) polishing. Axial load was applied (sub-) perpendicular to bedding until the specimen failed. The test was terminated at an axial strain of 1.35 %. Volumetric strain measurements showed bulk compaction throughout the compression test. Observations on the cm- to μm-scale showed that deformation 20 localized by forming a network of μm-thick fractures. In BIB-SEM at the grain scale, incipient deformation zones show dilatant inter- and intragranular micro-cracking, granular flow, plastic deformation and bending of phyllosilicate grains, and pore collapse in fossils. Outside these zones, no deformation microstructures were observed indicating localized damage. Thus, microphysics of deformation appear to be controlled by both brittle and ductile processes along preferred orientations. Anastomosing networks of deformation bands develop into the main deformation bands along which the sample fails. 25 Microstructural observations and the stress-strain behaviour were integrated into a deformation model with three different stages of damage accumulation representative for the deformation of the compressed Opalinus Clay sample. Results on the microscale explain how the sample locally dilates while bulk measurement shows compaction, with an inferred major effect on permeability evolution. Comparison with the microstructure of highly strained Opalinus Clay in fault zones shows minor similarity and suggest that during long-term deformation additional solution-precipitation processes operate.
The Pedagogy of the Job Guarantee
Authors: Feinig Jakob , Valayden Diren
Published: April 2021

In this article, we offer a pedagogical framework that explores possibilities for the democratic control over socio-economic life via a Job Guarantee (JG), the legally guaranteed and publicly financed right to productive work with benefits wherever one lives, or wants to live. In the first part of the JG project, students interview local leaders and residents to gauge what people can do for each other. Through these interviews, students and community members identify untapped possibilities and think about matching local needs with local skills in a collaborative process. The interviews and other class activities are designed to familiarize students with the JG framing that sees unemployed people as an asset not a burden. This framework challenges the dehumanizing idea that people can be superfluous, useless, a threat, or a burden. We also situate the JG as part of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT) and discuss money as a governance mechanism that enables people to organize, and potentially democratize, socio-economic life.
Traditional and Critical Mentoring
Authors: Stoller Aaron
Published: April 2021

In the last fifteen years, critical theories of mentorship have become a small, but growing, thread in the mentoring literature. Despite this recent advancement, critical mentoring frameworks have yet to meaningfully impact the discourse of undergraduate peer mentoring. This essay is an attempt to address a twin concern that undergraduate peer mentoring programs need a more adequate theoretical basis for practice and that, in particular, the limited discourse on mentoring theory must be expanded to include a variety of critical theories. This paper identifies the core conceptual differences between traditional and critical theories of undergraduate peer mentorship and advances a grounded, critical framework for undergraduate peer mentoring.

Marxistas, ma non troppo. El derrotero de las ideas de izquierda en el proyecto Nueva Visión
Authors: Del Gizzo Luciana
Published: April 2021

El proyecto Nueva Visión, conformado por la revista nueva visión (1951-1957) y la editorial homónima fundada en 1955, se planteó desde sus inicios un objetivo modernizador fundado en la síntesis de las artes y la problemática de la forma, que se expresaba en los términos marxistas que muchos de sus miembros, como Tomás Maldonado, Edgar Bayley, Alfredo Hlito, etcétera, habían elaborado en el marco del arte concreto. Sin embargo, el ingreso de ciertas ideas provenientes de la arquitectura y el diseño, como el funcionalismo, el styling o el mismo concepto de diseño industrial "que problematizaba el valor de uso y el valor del producto como mercancía", pondría en tensión la impronta de izquierda. La influencia de Max Bill, a su vez, introducía la necesidad de una apertura crítica y de un antidogmatismo tanto en términos políticos como estéticos, que centraba la atención sobre elementos tan universales como la matemática. A partir del análisis de los artículos aparecidos en la revista nueva visión y de la observación del primer catálogo de la editorial, este trabajo propone reconstruir el derrotero que las ideas de izquierda tuvieron en este proyecto modernizador, con sus tensiones y contradicciones, como un modo de pensar en qué medida los aspectos políticos legitiman un proyecto artístico o condicionan su desarrollo.
Amado Nervo. Acercamiento a los “Pensamientos afines” de "La Amada inmóvil". Una guía de lectura
Authors: Oviedo Rocío
Published: April 2021

La obra más conocida de Amado Nervo, La Amada inmóvil, ha merecido la elaboración de algunas ediciones críticas. Sin embargo, en dichas ediciones se obvia la referencia crítica al extenso listado de lo que califica el poeta como “Pensamientos afines”. Curiosamente si bien la poesía responde a la elegía amorosa, los epígrafes que la preceden en los citados “Pensamientos afines” relacionan la poesía original de Amado Nervo con la Teosofía, el ocultismo, y, el pensamiento contemporáneo y, por supuesto, con referencias a obras literarias de las que destaca como tema fundamental la muerte

La iconografía de "Ars magna lucis et umbrae" en "Primero sueño" de Sor Juana
Authors: Maxey Bryce
Published: April 2021

En este artículo examino la importancia de Ars magna lucis et umbrae de Athanasius Kircher en Primero sueño de Sor Juana. Propongo que las descripciones técnicas y metafísicas que aparecen en el tratado enciclopédico y sobre todo la iconografía del volumen ejercieron una gran influencia en el poema. Dados los múltiples vínculos que existen entre la iconografía de Kircher y el diseño del paisaje mental que Sor Juana construye, sugiero que Primero sueño puede leerse como un comentario de ciertas imágenes que figuran en el tratado. Considerando los sentidos literales y metafóricos de la luz y la oscuridad en Primero sueño, reafirmo asimismo el legado de Kircher en Sor Juana

The importance of customary law in the oasis space in Algeria (Case of the Touat region)
Authors:   Lecturer and researcher, University of Saida, Algeria, Abdennour Benslimane
Published: April 2021

Touat's interest as a hub of secular communications between the Maghreb and Sudan has long been known. Its location in this strategic commercial space has long been an important element in the socio-economic prosperity of this region. The latter was not only linked to these external factors, but also a fertile land, full of diverse agricultural products and ancestral know-how. Indeed, the Touat brings together a series of oases, based on an original traditional hydraulic system, known as foggara. It is ultimately the source of life for the Sahara, which has dragged on for eleven century, to satisfy peasants, with a right of ownership, registered in a document called Zemam. Our intention here is to go back in the historical evolution of this ancestral heritage of the foggaras in the region of Touat, a system which consists of a traditional exploitation of water and soil, based on an ingenious method of collecting and sharing water. , exemplary social justice and rigor in the various tasks of maintaining and preserving the oasis way of life in the Sahara.

The Torres Posse House (1957-1958) is a testimony to the particular forms that the modern house took in the context of northern Argentina, and at the same time shows how the conservation and sustainability of modern heritage come in large part from the quality of its original project. Built to enjoy the holidays, it was rationally organized, according to the demands of economy, topography of the site, climate, and orientation. The gallery, the most memorable space, is a typological approach that remains in good condition. The project established a stone box within which to arrange a demanding interior program with total freedom. The durability of the material proposed it as a modern architecture, capable of transcending the obsolescence of the modern image to resist the passage of time and aging without conflict.
A hidden beauty. Siza’s adequacy lesson at the secret and delicate MMH
Authors: Tostões Ana
Published: April 2021

For the design of the Manuel Magalhães House (1967-1970), Álvaro Siza revisited the purist rationalist principles of Modern Movement architecture. This project represents a shift in his work after the first Matosinhos’ houses and the Tea House of Leça da Palmeira. The appeal to the vernacular roots and a kind of telluric topos that characterized the works of the 1950s, in this project gave rise to an abstract and minimalist approach applied to a domestic life. Intricate and meticulous in all its details from inside to out, in this house the overall design achieves a perfect harmony, in other words, a balanced and beautiful gesamkunstwerk.
The Home at the core of Modernity, an optimistic architecture
Authors: Tostões Ana
Published: April 2021

Devoted to the theme of single-family houses, given the key role they played in the ideal definition of the Modern Movement architecture, as a symbolic and functional affirmation of the utopian turning of dreams into reality, the aim of this issue is to consider the transformation of daily life, and to address the architectural challenges that arose from the joy contained in what we might call the “architecture of happiness.” As we continue to endure a pandemic that has now lasted for more than a year, docomomo wishes to declare that “till the moment, the best vaccine to prevent contagion was invented by architects: the house”. Thus, in response to the question “How should we live?”, it is intended to debate the house and the home agenda as an important topic at the core of Modern Movement architecture. Nowadays, the growing emphasis on wellbeing goes beyond the seminal ideas that modern houses were “machines à habiter” and is closer to an idealistic vision of a stimulating shell for humans, which is shaped by imagination, experimentation, efficiency, and knowledge.

Objective: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) affects patients’ quality of life negatively. We aimed to examine the results of prostate artery embolization (PAE) treatment for BPH in the elderly patients with high comorbidity. Materials and Methods: In the present study, we evaluated the patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to BPH and applied endovascular embolization treatment, who were admitted to our hospital radiology department, between February 2017 and February 2019. Patients with a high risk for surgical operation with an American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score of 3 or above, International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) >20 and MR (Magnetic Resonance) prostate volume (PV)>70 cm3 were included in this study. In addition, maximum flow rate Qmaximum (Qmax), MRI PV and IPSS values were recorded in all patients in our clinic before PAE, and the 12th months after PAE. Results: In our study, 15 patients, who had a history of transurethral resection (TUR), and 57-82 years old (mean 73.8), participated. PAE treatment was administered to the patients who were admitted to our hospital with the diagnosis of BPH in patient high comorbidity, LUTS and high risk for open prostatectomy. In our series, Qmax, IPSS, MRI and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) findings were presented. The findings showed that pre-PAE and post-PAE at 12th month, IPSS value 25,13±1,92 and 11,4±6,51 (p=0,001), Qmax; 7,61±3,19 and 16,51±9,56 (p=0,001), MRPV; 135,47±76,48 and 83,27±43,53 (p=0,001) and also all parameters were statistically significant. Conclusion: PAE is a novel treatment modality which is increasingly being used in patients with BPH, and it is an important and effective treatment option since it is much less invasive compared to open surgery, does not require hospitalization after the procedure.

Authors: Emirhan Necati , Yapıcı Furkan
Published: April 2021

Introduction: The aim of this study is to compare clinically and radiologically the subvatus (SV) and medial parapatellar (MPP) approaches performed in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) due to severe gonarthrosis. Materials and methods: Patients who underwent TKA between 2015 and 2019 were divided into two groups, SV and MPP, according to the type of approach performed. Demographic, clinical, and surgical information of the patients were evaluated. Knee Society Clinical Rating System (KSS) and visual analogue scale (VAS) scores were used for functional evaluation. AP and lateral orthoroentgenograms and knee radiographs taken at the last follow-up were used for radiological evaluation. Results: The mean duration of surgery and tourniquet was significantly higher in the SV group. (p <.001 and p <.001, respectively). Mean blood loss and number of blood transfusions were significantly higher in the MPP group. (p <.001 and p <.001, respectively). Opiate analgesic need, straight leg raising time and hospitalization time were also significantly higher in the MPP group. (p <.001, p <.001 and p <.001, respectively). Although the KSS, VAS scores, and the range of motion at the first month were better in the SV group, there was no difference between the two groups at 6 and 12 months. Conclusion: According to this study, with the SV approach used for TKA, postoperative blood loss and the need for transfusion decreased, the duration of hospitalization was shortened, postoperative pain was less, and functional scores were better. The only disadvantage is the prolonged operation time

Objective: In late 2019, the Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has been pandemic worldwide, starting in Wuhan, China. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the factors associated with 28-day outcomes in patients admitted to the intensive care unit with the diagnosis of COVID-19. Methods: This study has a retrospective cohort design. COVID-19 patients identified according to World Health Organization guidelines are included. Patient data were recorded to a centralized system utilizing ImdSoft-Meta vision/QlinICU Clinical Decision Support Software. Individual datasets about required parameters were obtained from Structured Query Language (SQL) queries. The main laboratory parameters were examined. SOFA, APACHE II, and Charlson Comorbidity Score (CCS) were calculated. In evaluating laboratory parameters and disease risk scores, which are thought to affect 28-day mortality, logistic analysis were performed using the Backward LR model. Results: The study was carried out with 101 patients, 40 (39.6%) of whom were women, and 61 (60.4%) of men, who met the inclusion criteria. The ages of the patients ranged from 21 to 88, and the mean age was 58.45 ± 15.41 years. The mean intensive care hospitalization period was 12.5 ± 10.2 days. The all-cause in-hospital mortality rate was 61.4%. Leukocyte count, CK, NT-proBNP, PCT, CRP, ferritin, neutrophil count and percentage, D-Dimer, LDH, AST values were found to be significantly higher in non-survivors. The lymphocyte count and percentage, and platelet count values were found to be significantly low in non-survivors. The lymphocyte percentage, LDH, and CCS were significant in the 28-day mortality in multivariate analysis (p values are 0.01, 0.003, 0.008, respectively). Conclusions: High lymphocyte values have been found to significantly reduce the risk of death in patients diagnosed with COVID-19. Lymphocyte percentage, LDH, and CCS were evaluated as the most successful parameters in predicting 28-day mortality in the intensive care unit.
Comparison of Macular And Retinal Nerve Fiber Layer Thickness In Amblyopic And Fellow Eyes
Authors: Gürez Ceren
Published: April 2021

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between macular and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer thickness and amblyopia. Methods: A total of 56 pediatric patients with hyperopic anisometropic amblyopia were evaluated in this study. As the control group, we used the patients’ fellow eyes. A comprehensive eye examination was performed, including best-corrected visual acuity with Snellen charts (converted to logMAR for analysis), slit-lamp examination, fundus examination, cover and, cover-uncover testing, and ocular motility testing. The macular thickness, retinal nerve fiber layer thickness, axial length and optic disc area of both eyes were measured. Results: The mean age was 7.25±1.89 years. For the amblyopic and fellow eyes, the mean best-corrected visual acuity was 0.33± 0.20 logMAR and 0.0± 0.0 logMAR, respectively. Macular center thicknesses were 225,55±18,86 µm and 215,7±12,96 µm in amblyopic and fellow eyes, respectively. Macular 6mm ring thicknesses were 281,32±33,51 µm and 256,07±28,91 µm in amblyopic and fellow eyes, respectively. RNFLT were 108,39±11,59 µm and 104,61±8,43 µm in amblyopic and fellow eyes, respectively There was a statistically significant difference in the macular center thickness, in macular 6-mm ring area thickness and in RNFLT (p<0.05). There was a positive correlation between visual acuity of amblyopic eyes and macular thickness and RNFLT. Conclusions: This study explored objectively measured retinal changes in amblyopia and found a slightly thicker central macular region and 6-mm ring area thicknesses and RNFLT in amblyopic compared with normal eyes.

Authors: Çorum Mustafa
Published: April 2021

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate upper cervical segmental dysfunctions in female patients with chronic TMD with and without neck pain and to compare them with healthy subjects. Method: Patients admitted to our hospital with jaw pain were evaluated in this study, and a total of 152 patients and healthy subjects who met the inclusion criteria for the study were divided into 3 groups: TMD with neck pain (n = 94), TMD without neck pain (n = 28) and control (n = 30). Patients with myofascial pain (category I) or disc displacements (category II) were diagnosed based on the Research Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (RDC/TMD) guidelines. Upper cervical segmental dysfunctions were identified using functional and pain provocation tests in patients with TMD and healthy subjects. Results: When patients with TMD were classified, there was a significant difference between TMD with neck pain (category I, 62.8%; category II, 37.2%) and TMD without neck pain (category I, 28.6%; category II, 71.4%) groups (p = 0.002). There was a statistically significant dysfunction [difference] in all upper cervical segments in favor of the TMD with neck pain group compared TMD without neck pain group and healthy control group (p < 0.05). 51.1% Occiput-C1, 81.9% C1-C2 and 53.2% C2-C3 segment dysfunction rates were detected in TMD with neck pain group. Conclusion: Upper cervical segmental dysfunction rate was higher in TMD group with neck pain than TMD without neck pain and healthy control group.
Evaluation of Vaccination Status Among Children with Inborn Errors of Metabolism
Authors: Yılmazbaş Pınar , Çakar Nafiye Emel
Published: April 2021

Objective: Infections generate a metabolic stress in children with inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) and worsen the metabolic abnormalities. Immunization practices prevent children with IEM from vaccine preventable infections and decreases mortality and morbidity. It is recommended to vaccinate children with IEM with the same schedule for healthy children, but there are some precautions. The aim of this study is to investigate vaccination status and vaccine delays among children with IEM. Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated 99 children with IEM. Patients who were diagnosed with IEM up to 18 years of age constituted the study population. Existing comorbid conditions, and additional diseases were questioned. Immunization rates and its relationship between clinical classification, existing comorbid conditions and additional diseases were assessed. Adverse events after vaccinations were questioned. Results: Among 99 patients with IEM, 14 had vaccine delays. The incidence of vaccine delay in patients in the stable group was significantly lower than sickest and chronic groups. There was statistically significant difference between comorbid and additional disease, and presence of vaccine delay. No adverse events after vaccinations were declared. Conclusion: Clinical characteristics of the disease, comorbid situations and additional diseases may be the reasons of vaccine delays in patients with IEM. Questioning the vaccination status at metabolism outpatient clinics, and opportunistic vaccinating during hospitalization if possible, may prevent vaccine delays of children with IEM.

Nonlinear Mixed Variational Inequalities
Authors: Gupta Sanjeev
Published: April 2021

The objective of this paper is to consider new generalized systems of nonlinear mixed variational inequalities including 3k-distinct nonlinear relaxed cocoercive operators. We proposed k-steps explicit iterative methods including projection operators for this considered system and present the
equivalent fixed point problem of this new generalized systems of variational
inequalities. This equivalent fixed point problem suggest to us k-steps explicit
iterative algorithms to obtain an approximate solution of the considered system. Convergence results of k-step explicit iterative algorithms are obtained.

De los trasplantes a las traducciones legales: Introducción a la tesis de la no-Americanización en Langer
Authors: Donnes Antonella
Published: April 2021

En lo que constituye el núcleo central de esta Discusión, Máximo Langer nos sumerge en el mundo del derecho comparado y nos invita a reflexionar sobre las influencias y relaciones entre distintos sistemas en el ámbito del derecho procesal penal. Las recientes reformas de corte acusatorio implementadas en los sistemas procesales continentales europeos y latinoamericanos sugieren una “americanización” del proceso penal en tales países. No obstante, Langer se propone ir más allá de las apariencias y refutar esta idea mediante un análisis del modo en que ha sido introducido el instituto estadounidense del plea bargaining en cuatro jurisdicciones representativas de la tradición continental europea y latinoamericana. Bachmaier, Correa Robles y Engländer evalúan la posición presentada y enriquecen el debate desde las perspectivas de sus países de origen.
De los trasplantes legales a las traducciones legales: la globalización del plea bargaining y la tesis de la “americanización” en el proceso penal
Authors: Langer Máximo
Published: April 2021

El artículo analiza la implementación e influencia del sistema procesal norteamericano en otras jurisdicciones, con especial énfasis en el procedimiento penal y el denominado juicio abreviado. Se propone revisi- tar la idea de “transplante” legal y se sugiere explorar otras figuras, como la de la “traducción”. Tal concepto ilumina mejor el modo en que los sistemas son usados, trasladados e incorporados en sistemas foráneos. En contra de la llamada “tesis de la americanización” se propone observar el modo real en que el “plea bairgaining” estadounidense ha sido adoptado en cuatro jurisdicciones diferentes

To study the efficacy of Ruksha Udwartana in the management of Sthoulya with special reference to obesity.
Authors: Patil Anupama
Published: April 2021

Obesity has become one of the most serious public health problems of the 21st century with morbid obesity affecting 5% of the country's population. In Ayurveda the signs and symptoms of obesity can be co-related with Sthaulya. In Samhitas, Sthaulya is mentioned under ‘Santarpan-janya Vyadhi’ and ‘Kaphaj Nanatmaj Vikar’. As Sthaulya is not only a cosmetic concern but also has adverse effect on body and may lead to diseases like diabetes, hypertension, hypothyroidism, osteoporosis etc it is need of time to have an effective treatment for it. Panchakarma proves to be very effective in treating Sthaulya, especially the local therapies like Udwartana are very easy and cost effective. Though a proper diet and regular exercise is a key for Obesity, it is necessary to have supportive therapies. As Sthaulya itself is a Santarpan janya Vyadhi, with the Samanya-Vishesh Siddhanta Apatarpan therapy is strongly recommended in Sthaulya.This paper highlights the role of Ruksha Udwartana with Triphala,Musta and Daruharidra Dravyas in Sthaulya.
