Authors: Gurbanov Anar , Ergün Ergun , Göllü Gülnur , Ateş Ufuk
Published: January 2022

Objective: Sacrococcygeal pilonidal sinus disease is common in children. The disease reduces the quality of life of patients with symptoms such as pain and chronic discharge. Variable surgical techniques have been described for the treatment of pilonidal sinus disease. This study aims to evaluate clinical approach of Turkish pediatric surgeons to children with pilonidal sinus disease.

Material and Methods: Survey questions were prepared through a literature review for controversial issues. The participants were asked pre-selected and checkbox questions. The survey was sent to 450 pediatric surgeons, members of the Association of Turkey Pediatric Surgery via a link to Google Forms.

Results: Nineteen percent (88) of the members responded. Seventy five (85.2%) of the pediatric surgeons stated that they did not perform additional preoperative imaging. Surgical excision methods were preferred more than minimally invasive procedures (102 to 46). Sixty (68.2%) of the participants preferred preoperative prophylactic single dose intravenous antibiotics and postoperative oral antibiotics. Regarding the participants’ practices, poor local hygiene, overweight, wide or deep sinus pit were stated as the most common causes of recurrence. Vast majority of the pediatric surgeons recommended laser epilation (%85.2) and slimming (59.1%) to patients.

Conclusion: Various studies have been published from Turkey for pilonidal sinus disease. As seen in the current study, Turkish pediatric surgeons do not have a common opinion in pilonidal sinus disease and prefer surgical excision methods more frequently. Prospective randomized studies with bigger number of patients are required to establish common guidelines in disease management.

Authors: Özgüç Halil , Narmanlı Mustafa , Çırnaz Hakan
Published: January 2022

Objective: This survey study attempted to determine Turkish primary care physicians’ (PCP) knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions of obesity treatment and bariatric surgery. Moreover, the relationship between the duration of practice as a physician, and especially the indications for bariatric surgery and referral to surgery were investigated.

Material and Methods: A survey of 27 questions was administered via social media and the internet using the SurveyMonkey platform. The physicians who responded to the survey were grouped based on the duration of working life. Among these groups, the responses to the questions about bariatric surgery were compared using univariate analysis.

Results: A total of 1044 physicians responded to the survey. The number of physicians who strongly agreed that a PCP should play role in the treatment of obesity was 743 (71.1%). The most important reason for not undertaking this treatment was reported as the requirement for a multidisciplinary approach to obesity treatment (51.5%, n= 537). The percentage of those who thought that patients with a body mass index (BMI) above 40 kg/m2 should be referred to surgery was 72.3%,while the percentage of those referring patients with a BMI of 35-40 kg/m2 and comorbidities to surgery was 53.3%, and the percentage of those referring patients with a BMI of 35-40 kg/m2 and uncontrolled diabetes to surgery was 35.9%. Physicians who were new to the profession were found to evaluate surgical indications more positively (p< 0.05).

Conclusion: This study found that PCPs in Turkey had a basic knowledge of obesity treatment and were willing to treat and follow up these patients. However, it was observed that they could not adequately focus on this issue due to the requirement for a multidisciplinary approach to the disease and the workload. It was found that the young physiciansð level of knowledge of bariatric surgery was higher, but their attitudes towards patient referral were similar.

Published: January 2022

Objective: Optimal incision for major hepatectomy remains controversial. In this study, we described our experience with a limited upper midline incision (UMI) for major hepatectomy. The objective was to analyze the feasibility and safety of UMI in major hepatectomy.

Material and Methods: Fifty-seven consecutive patients who underwent major hepatectomies performed via an UMI were compared to a control group of 36 patients who underwent major hepatectomies with a conventional incision (CI).

Results: In 85% of the patients, the indication was malignancy, with a median tumor size of 6 cm. Fifty-three percent of the patients had underlying chronic liver disease, and liver fibrosis was found in 61% of the patients. Ninteen percent of the patients had previous upper abdominal surgery. Twenty- six patients underwent left hepatectomy, 20 patients had right hepatectomy and 11 patients trisegmentectomy. Additional combined surgical proce- dures were performed in 42% of the patients. Median operative time was 323 minutes, estimated blood loss was 500 ml, and median post-operative hospital stay was seven days. Surgical complications occurred in 22 patients (39%). 5-year overall survival was 67%. When compared with the control group with CI, patients with UMI had no statistical difference on operative time, estimated blood loss, length of hospital stay, complication rate, and overall survival.

Conclusion: Major hepatectomies can be safely performed through UMI. This approach should be considered as a reasonable option in addition to conventional and laparoscopic approaches for major hepatectomies.
Quality of recovery assessment of day case and multiday stay patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy
Authors: Campbell Matthew , Ng Daniel , Albatat Batool , Lowen Darren , Bird David , Hodgson Russell
Published: January 2022

Objective: Many laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations are performed with at least overnight admission. Current research shows that laparoscopic cholecystectomy is safe and feasible to do as a day case. Patient centred outcomes are less well understood.

Material and Methods: Elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy patients at a single metropolitan hospital in Melbourne, Australia were surveyed 24 hours after surgery using the 15-question Quality of Recovery (QoR-15) survey. A comparison was made between day case surgeries and multi-day surgeries.

Results: One hundred and eight patients were recruited consisting of 34 day case and 74 multi-day patients. Patient groups did not differ in terms of age, sex or postoperative morbidity. The multi-day group had a higher proportion of comorbid patients (p-value = 0.03). There was no significant dif- ference in overall QoR-15 score between the two groups, although there was an observed trend towards a higher score in the day case group (132.0 vs 127.9, p= 0.147). QoR-15 individual question results showed that day cases rated significantly better for sleep quality and for less feelings of anxiety or worry. The differences narrowed when comparing patient groups as they were booked (intention-to-treat). There were no identified sub-groups that had a significantly higher score if admitted multi-day.

Conclusion: Quality of recovery following day case laparoscopic cholecystectomy is just as good, if not better, than multi-day cases. Laparoscopic cholecystectomy as a day case is both safe and economically superior to multi-day management. This gives further weight to current recommendations suggesting that the majority of laparoscopic cholecystectomy operations could be performed as day cases.

Authors: González-Lozoya Sonia , Meza-Kubo Victoria , Morán Alberto L.
Published: January 2022

People who suffer from some type of phobia usually have a high deterioration in their lives. Still, a large percentage of these people do not seek treatment, either due to lack of motivation, acceptance, or poor accessibility. The present research aims to alleviate the aforementioned problem through the development of a conceptual model of a conversational Intelligent Therapeutic Assistant (ATIC) to guide and personalize a self-applying gradual exposure treatment for small animal phobias. The document presents the progress obtained from the conceptual model based on the literature review and a preliminary study with psychologists with experience in the area of interest to validate and provide feedback on the proposed conceptual model.
Digital markers of Autism
Authors: Monarca Ivonne , Cibrian Franceli L. , Tentori Monica
Published: January 2022

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a neurological condition that affects how a people communicate and interact with others. The use of screening tools during childhood is very important to detect those children who need to be referred for a diagnosis of ASD. However, most screening tools are based on parents' responses so the result can be subjective. In addition, most screening tools focus on social and communicative skills leaving aside sensory features, which have shown to have the potential to be ASD markers. Tactile processing has been little explored due to lack of tools to asses it, however with the growth of haptic interfaces there is potential to assess tactile processing and identify digital markers of ASD.

Authors: Arrieta-Arellano Isaías , López-Orozco Francisco , Hernández-Hernández J. Israel , Ruiz-Ruiz Juan-Gabriel
Published: January 2022

This paper addresses the implementation of an eye detection mobile application for unlocking mobile devices using its built camera as an eye tracker. The implementation allows a real-time face and eye detection of a mobile phone user. The idea behind our development was the creation of a preventive model for the benefit and safety of mobile users, including disabled users (e.g., users with arthritis). The product is a visual application that detects the pupils and can simulate the mouse cursor on the screen to unlock the device. Although some screen lock methods have been already developed, our project aims to complement the security in mobile devices. Moreover, with a new mechanism to unlock mobile devices it would offer a more robust alternative in terms of safety of such devices. Evaluation results suggest our implementation is a promising alternative for security in these devices.

A web application for solving puzzles with logic grids: design, user tests, and first experiences in a Logic course
Authors: Morales Díaz Leonel , Fleck de Umaña Lissette
Published: January 2022

Searching for new in-class activities for a Symbolic Logic course, we found a type of puzzle that uses a specially constructed matrix for solving. They were available on websites in English and possibly in other languages, but not in Spanish. Their interactive nature and logical structure make them appropriate for the class although it was clear that Spanish versions of the puzzles would be needed. Puzzle statements presented in websites in English appeared ungenuine or artificial, and often out of context. In this article, we present a description of this type of logic puzzle, the problems found when using them in websites in English, the process followed to design and create a web application for distribution and solving puzzles in Spanish, and the user tests conducted. The prototype presented here includes modifications to the user interface, internal algorithms, and the process to create the enunciates and clues of the puzzle.

The motivation of students is a very complex problem. This article may help to solve some of the problems for teaching students. Chemical experiment is a very powerful tool for motivation in the hands of the teachers in Chemistry. The personal history of chemists in combination with the history of discovery of different chemical reactions and instruments can attract the interest of stu-dents making a valuable contribution to the knowledge about cultural heritage of their country and the entire chemical community. An interesting fact is that a traditional conference for teaching in Chemistry take place in Portugal (the University of Lisbon) where the specialists gather together to perform experiments of the chemist Alexander Borodin and play music written by Alexander Bo-rodin. They know that it is the same person! Who knows, perhaps equipped with the entire arsenal of teaching tools we grow at least one student from our pupils. Let's immerse them into the world of Chemistry for our common good.

Published: January 2022

The research analyses the naturalistic abilities development in nature of primary pupils from third to fourth forms. This topic is very actual, because the nature pedagogy is becoming more popular nowadays. The problem appears because teachers are used to organise activities in the classrooms not in the open air. So, the main purpose of this work is teaching primary pupils in the natural environment to explore their natural abilities acquired during the learning in nature, using all senses, knowledge and experience.
In this work are analysing the results of pupils who participated in practical training. The research includes 128 pupils, 52 pupils from third form and 76 pupils from fourth form (55 girls and 76 boys). The participants of the research are from separate schools of Žvėrynas district.
The results have shown that pupils can use the information which they have got from other subjects and can use it practically, but it’s more difficult to use suitable phrases.
To sum up, it is necessary to give more tasks to do, not indoors, but in the nature. Only then the results of pupils would become markedly better.

Published: January 2022

Biotechnology is a very fast growing industry worldwide, as well as in Lithuania. Lithuania is famous for its achievements in the field of biotechnology, however, one of the problems which restricts the development of biotechnology and natural science research, is a lack of specialists. Therefore, it is very important to have the school-oriented pupils to choose this line of study. The decision of pupils to choose a certain profession is often determined by the practical examples which demonstrate the attractiveness and prospects of the profession. However, schools have limited opportunities to introduce to senior pupils the field of biotechnology and natural sciences and demonstrate the specificity of this work.
Since 2014, the Vilnius Gabija gymnasium has carried out a successful activity, which aims to introduce to the senior pupils the practical work in the modern molecular biology laboratory. The gymnasium collaborates with the Institute of Biotechnology of Vilnius University, which provides an opportunity to the group of senior pupils to perform experiments at the laboratories of this institute. The program of practical work is prepared for the whole school year, so the pupils gain systematic knowledge and practical skills.

Authors: Elaeraj Ouafae , Leghris Cherkaoui
Published: January 2022

With the growth in the use of the Internet and local area networks, malicious attacks and intrusions into computer systems are increasing. Implementing intrusion detection systems have become extremely important to help maintain good network security. Support vector machines (SVMs), a classic pattern recognition tool, have been widely used in intrusion detection. They can handle very large data with high efficiency, are easy to use, and exhibit good prediction behavior. This paper presents a new SVM model enriched with a Gaussian kernel function based on the features of the training data for intrusion detection. The new model is tested with the CICIDS2017 dataset. The test proves better results in terms of detection efficiency and false alarm rate, which can give better coverage and make detection more efficient.

Published: January 2022

This paper presents the design procedure of the NS-3 script for WLAN that is organized according to the hierarchical manner of TCP/IP model. We configure all layers by using NS-3 model objects and set and modify the values used by objects to investigate the effects of MAC parameters (access mechanism, CWmin, CWmax and retry limit) on the performance metrics viz. packet delivery ratio, packet lost ratio, aggregated throughput, and average delay. The simulation results show that RTS/CTS access mechanism outperforms basic access mechanism in saturated state, whereas the MAC parameters have no significant impact on network performance in non-saturated state. A higher value of CWmin improves the aggregated throughput in expense of average delay. The tradeoff relationships among the performance metrics are also observed in results for the optimal values of MAC parameters. Our design procedure represents a good guideline for new NS-3 users to design and modify script and results greatly benefit the network design and management.

Conservatism in Digital Trends
Authors: Van Amstel Frederick Marinus Constant
Published: January 2022

Digital trends are signs of imminent social changes that appear linked to the use of digital technologies. It is believed that digital media, due to its decentralized structure, induces more radical differences than centralized analog media. The aim of this research is to assess the potential for social differentiation implied in the dissemination of trends by digital media. To achieve this end, the research analyzed a corpus of 1,700 digital trends mapped on graph visualizations. Interpreting the results through Henri Lefebvre's materialist-dialectical differentialism, this research came to the conclusion that digital trends produce minimal differences, that is, they tend to maintain the status quo instead of questioning it, contradicting their association with phenomena such as revolution, disruption and innovation. In addition to investigating this specific issue, this research points towards possible collaborations between Information Design and Digital Humanities fields.

The research through design relationally describes the initial participation by the information design team, the contribution of design and design research to the research and development team and the emergence of insights that have relevance for information design, data visualisation, software development, geography, cartography and directly for digital soil mapping.
Framework to analyze the use of colors in informational maps related to Covid-19 data
Authors: Klohn Sara , Zimmermann Anelise
Published: January 2022

This paper presents a study about using colors in maps that present information related to the Covid-19 pandemic. A sample was collected from two different governmental websites of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. An analysis framework was developed based on the sample and drew from a literature review about the use of colors and maps in data visualization. The analysis showed that one of the examples collected presents an inconsistent use of colors, which could prompt difficulties in visualizing the data; the other example uses color more consistently, potentially being more effective in communicating information. In addition, the study showed potential for continuity and expansion due to the relevance of information design applied to health information.
The efficacy of a homoeopathic flu complex (arsenicum iodatum, gelsemium sempervirens, eupatorium perfoliatum and ferrum phosphoricum) in the treatment of influenza type syndrome
Authors:   , Mistry Raakhee Gunvant
Published: January 2022

The purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the effect of a homoeopathic flu complex consisting of Arsenicum album, Gelsemium sempervirens, Eupertorium perfoliatum and Ferrum phosphoricum in the treatment of influenza type syndrome in terms of the patient's response to the treatment and the patient's oral temperature. It was hypothesised that the flu complex would reduce the severity and duration of symptoms in patients suffering from influenza type syndrome in terms of the patient's response to the treatment and the patient's temperature. This complex was formulated in the 30th potency by Dr Bloch and Dr Lewis of Cape Town, who have had much success using it in the treatment of influenza type syndrome, especially where no clear symptoms were present on which to prescribe. The remedies in the complex are often individually used to treat 'flu' ,with good results. This study was a double blind randomised, placebo-controlled investigation. Convenience sampling was used to select 30 patients of both sex and between the ages of 18 and 60 years, from the greater Johannesburg-Pretoria area. Patients had to have an oral temperature of 37.8\xB0C greater and had to experience influenza like symptoms of s 24 hour duration.
A model to improve the quality of life for elderly people living in a rural setting of uThungulu District, KwaZulu-Natal

Published: January 2022

Background An increase in the world's population of ageing people is occurring not only in developed countries but also in developing countries. In South Africa, the proportion of the population aged 50 and over increased from 14.8% in 2006 to 15% in 2009 and is predicted to be 19% by 2030. This means that the supply of services for the elderly people should match the demand at all times, otherwise the quality of life of these senior citizens will be compromised. This study aimed at developing a model that would improve the quality of life for elderly people living in the uMhlathuze and uMlalazi sub-districts of the uThungulu district, KwaZulu-Natal. Methodology A qualitative, exploratory, descriptive design was applied for this study. A semi-structured interview guide based on the Health Related Quality of Life Theory and Maslow’s hierarchy of needs was used. Random sampling was used to select the elderly participants. Purposive sampling was used for the selection of the chairpersons of non-governmental organisations, and the District Programme Manager. Audits were conducted in the clubs that elderly people with chronic disease participate in. Data analysis followed Tesch’s steps after which themes and categories were formulated. Results Three major themes that emerged from the data analysis were social well-being of elderly people, physiological factors and psychological factors. The results revealed that elderly people experience poor living conditions and suffer poverty due to a number of factors which including the high unemployment rate of their children. Often the children are involved in substance abuse using the elderly person’s money pension money, which leaves them without any food items in the household. According to the District Programme Manager, there was a project on integrated chronic disease management that was conducted at uThungulu district by the Department of Health. The integrated chronic disease management focused on the population in general of all ages, yet in this study the focus has been on elderly people, which is why the researcher developed a model to improve the QoL of elderly people, due to their unique needs. Conclusion This research study gathered information regarding social, economic, health and environmental factors in rural areas which will help in bringing issues of elderly people’s quality of life to awareness. This research will deepen the knowledge and skills of professionals on ageing issues, especially in rural areas/communities.
Design of Microstrip Low-pass and Band-pass Filters using Artificial Neural Networks
Authors: HATHAT AHMED
Published: January 2022

Usually the design of microstrip filters is done using simulators and classical approximation methods as Butterworth and Chebyshev, these techniques takes a lot of time to run for designing filters. In this paper we develop a faster artificial neural network model for designing a microstrip low-pass and band-pass filters for all rang of operating frequency , when the input are the dimensions of filter, operating frequency, the features of substrate, and the output are the transmission and reflection coefficients. The database uses for training this model is generated by a linear simulator based on circuits model. Two filters designed by the developed model are a stepped impedance low-pass filter with a cut-off frequency of 1 GHz and a parallel coupled-line band-pass filter with fractional bandwidth of 25 % and a central frequency of 2.45 GHz. The results of simulation are compared with desired results and the effectiveness of this method has been proven.

ОСОБЛИВОСТІ ВИКЛАДАННЯ МАТЕМАТИКИ СТУДЕНТАМ ФАХОВОГО МЕДИКО-ФАРМАЦЕВТИЧНОГО КОЛЕДЖУ ПДМУ
Authors: Наливайко Людмила
Published: January 2022

Проблема підвищення якості освіти є актуальною та пріоритетною для передвищої професійної освіти. Програмою передбачено вивчення теоретичних основ з навчальної дисципліни «Математика». Навчально-методичне забезпечення освітнього процесу є одним з головних чинників у підготовці майбутніх медичних фахівців з високим рівнем фахової компетенції. Особливість навчання студентів зумовлена віковими (15-16 років) особливостями студентів 1-го та 2 курсів коледжу та різним початковим рівням базової підготовки з математики студентів в загальноосвітніх навчальних закладах. Закороткий час викладачу потрібно вчорашнього школяра перетворити на компетентного фахівця. Однією з першорядних проблем методики навчання є вміння мотивувати студентів вивченню математики, оскільки однією з проблем у вивченні нового матеріалу є відсутність зацікавленості у студенті. Крім того вивчення предметів природничо-математичного циклу не можна розглядати окремо від загальної освіти(розвинене математичне логічне мислення сприяє засвоєнню гуманітарних предметів).
