Laporan Kasus Penatalaksanaan Eksisi dan Kauterisasi Giant Condiloma Acuminatum Anogenital
Giant condyloma acuminatum (GCA) adalah tumor besar berbentuk kembang kol yang tumbuh lambat dan terletak di daerah anogenital. Tumor ini mempunyai perilaku destruktif lokal, tingkat kekambuhan yang tinggi dan kadang-kadang berubah menjadi karsinoma sel skuamosa. Faktor risiko termasuk hubungan anoreseptif, HIV dan imunosupresan. Tidak ada kesepakatan umum mengenai pilihan pengobatan untuk tumor ini. Eksisi radikal luas dengan rekonstruksi plastik pada cacat kulit tampaknya merupakan pengobatan terbaik, sedangkan terapi tambahan, seperti radioterapi dan imunoterapi, mungkin memberikan hasil yang baik, namun efektivitasnya masih belum pasti.

In the present study, we evaluated the growth performance of grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) feeding German grass (Holcus mollis) produced organically using vermicompost. There were three treatments in the experiment, only German grass (T1), German grass + vermicompost @ 8,000 kg ha-1 year-1 (T2) and German grass + vermicompost @ 16,000 kg ha-1 year-1 (T3). In treatment T2 and T3, 25 % vermicompost was applied prior to 15 days ahead of fish stocking. The fish was stocked @ 10,000 grass carps and 15,000 tilapia ha-1, respectively. Water quality parameter such as temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate were varied among the treatments. 29 phytoplankton and 9 zooplankton genera observed in the three treatments with a significant abundance (p < 0.05) in vermicompost treated ponds. According to a gut content study, tilapia primarily fed zooplankton and phytoplankton, whereas grass carp pre-dominantly consumed German grass and phytoplankton. The gross production was significantly higher in treatment T3 (2.94 Ton ha-1) followed by T2 (2.78 Ton ha-1) and T1 (2.57 Ton ha-1) 77 days-1. The research disclosed that the vermicompost application at 16,000 kg/ha/year with German grass was better option of producing organic grass carp and tilapia.

Published: January 2024

A study was conducted to evaluate the body weight, weight gain, meat yield, livability and heterosis of different crossbred chickens produced by mating three pure lines of meat-type chickens i.e., Male line white (MLW), Male line white2 (MLW2), Female line white (FLW). A total of 369 crossbred as hatched chicks of 2 genotypes i.e., MLW2 × FLW2(MLW♂ × FLW♀), MLW × FLW2 were brooded with electric brooder on litter floor and standard broiler diets were fed from day old to 42 days of age. Proper management strategies were practiced for all genotypes. Body weight and feed consumption were recorded weekly. One male and two female chickens from each cross were sacrificed to record their dressing yield. The body weight was significantly (p<0.01) higher in MLW2 × FLW2 (1768.66 ± 15.61g) than MLW × FLW2 (1684.39 ± 17.62g) at 6 weeks of age. The weight gain followed similar trend as body weight. The overall feed conversion ratio was slightly better in MLW × FLW2 (1.63) than in MLW2 × FLW2 (1.65). The dressing percentage was similar in MLW2 × FLW2 (72.66%) and MLW × FLW2 (72.35%). The livability percentage was near 100% in both crosses. The heterosis for body weight gain was 61% and 68% in the MLW2 × FLW2 and MLW × FLW2 crossbred. So, it may be concluded that the 3-way white crossbred (MLW2 × FLW2) may be used for meat production based on overall performance and characteristics.

Authors: Kheya Sinthia , Salam Md , Uddin Md
Published: January 2024

Rice requires nitrogen in larger quantities than any other nutrient, and it is the most critical limiting factor that influences grain yield. But inappropriate sources and management of nitrogen is considered to be the most critical one among the various reasons of low rice productivity. In order to address the problem, an experiment was conducted at the Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, during June to October 2020 to determine the effect of integrated nitrogen management (INM) on weed growth and yield of transplant aman rice. The experiment comprised five aman rice varieties, viz. Binadhan-7 (V1), BRRI dhan56 (V2), BRRI dhan66 (V3), BRRI dhan71 (V4) and BRRI dhan75 (V5) and four nitrogen management approaches: control (no nitrogen) (N0), 100% of recommended dose (RD) of nitrogenous fertilizer as prilled urea (150 kg ha-1) (N1), 2.5 t ha-1 poultry manure + 75% of RD of nitrogenous fertilizer as prilled urea (112.5 kg ha-1) (N2) and application of USG (1.8 g per 4 hills) (N3). Results reveal that maximum weed density and dry weight were found in BRRI dhan56 whereas minimum ones were observed in BRRI dhan66. In case of INM, application of 100% of RD of nitrogenous fertilizer as prilled urea showed maximum weed density and dry weight but minimum ones were found with application of USG. In combine, weed density and dry weight were found highest in BRRI dhan56 with 100% of RD of urea and the lowest weed density was found in BRRI dhan66 with no nitrogen treatment at 20 DAT and in BRRI dhan66 with application of USG at 35 DAT and lowest weed dry weight was obtained from Binadhan-7 with application of USG (1.8 g per 4 hills) at 20 and 35 DAT. Variety Binadhan-7 showed superior performance in terms of yield and yield attributes. Application of USG showed the highest number of grains panicle-1 and grain yield. Interaction of Binadhan-7 with application of USG produced highest number of grains panicle-1 (116.60), highest grain yield (5.21 t ha-1), biological yield (10.94 t ha-1), harvest index (47.65%) and highest BCR (1.57). So, results indicated that Binadhan-7 with application of USG (1.8 g per 4 hills) might be recommended for obtaining highest grain yield with higher nitrogen use efficiency, highest BCR as well as to control weed more effectively in aman season.

Published: January 2024

Background: In India, as the prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) is high, it is essential to determine the quality of life (QoL) and it is predictors among them to improve the effectiveness of treatment and also to minimize the burden of DM on our society.

Aims and Objectives: The present study aimed to determine the impact of diabetes on QoL and to identify the association of sociodemographic factors that affect QoL.

Materials and Methods: An observational cross-sectional study was conducted among type 2 DM patients. Quality of life was assessed by the World Health Organization BREF questionnaire. To compare the means of two groups, the Unpaired “T” test and for three or more groups, one-way analysis of variance was applied. P < 0.05 was considered to be statistically significant.

Results: Out of 120, 61 were males (50.8%) and 59 females (49.2%) and their mean age was 53.72 ± 13.71 years. Almost half of them were illiterates (48.3%). Hypertension was the most frequent comorbidity (52.5%). Most of the participants had diabetes for 6–10 years (35.8%). Maximum mean score was observed for negative feelings (4.183 ± 0.721) minimum mean score for positive feelings (2.525 ± 0.517). Overall, 43% of the study population rated their QoL as neither poor nor good and 52% felt that their health was neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. QoL score was maximum in the environmental health domain (26.40) and minimum in the social relationship domain (10.75). Among different variables, there was no significant difference observed for overall QoL and health satisfaction.

Conclusion: The present study showed overall QoL was neither poor nor good, and they perceived their health as neither satisfied nor dissatisfied. As almost half of the participants were illiterates, it is essential to create awareness regarding diabetes treatment and management of comorbidities and complications by conducting health campaigns using simple, local language, performing street plays, and interactive workshops.

Authors: Mohamed Nashwa , Yahya Galal , Bayoumi Rasha , Hussein Mohamed , Cavalu Simona , Dahshan Hesham , Alsayeqh Abdullah , Darwish Wageh , Nasr Elshimaa
Published: January 2024

Background:
The consumption of meat is a fundamental aspect of global diets, providing essential nutrients and proteins vital for human nutrition. However, ensuring the safety of meat products has become progressively challenging due to potential contamination by toxic heavy metals and pathogenic microorganisms.
Aim:
This study focuses on assessing the prevalence of Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Arsenic (As), and Cadmium (Cd), in chilled and frozen meat in Sharkia Governorate, Egypt.
Methods:
A total of 30 samples, comprising 15 chilled and 15 frozen beef samples, were collected from various marketing stores in Sharkia. Analysis of toxic metals was conducted via atomic absorption spectrophotometer following wet digestion.
Results:
The average levels (mg/kg) in chilled meat samples were found to be 0.64 ± 0.14 for Pb, undetectable for Hg, 0.02 ± 0.14 for Cd, and 4.66 ± 0.57 for As. In frozen samples, the average concentrations were 0.89 ± 0.21 for Pb, 0.08 ± 0.03 for Hg, 0.02 ± 0.004 Cd, and 5.32 ± 0.59 for As. Generally, the levels of heavy metals in frozen meat samples were observed to be higher than chilled samples. Importantly, the levels of Pb were higher than maximum residual concentrations (MPL) in 53.3% of the chilled and 66.6% of the frozen, Cd levels in chilled and frozen were within the permissible concentrations in all samples, Hg was not identified in all the chilled and in 67% of frozen samples, and As levels were higher than the permissible levels in all samples chilled and frozen. The assessment of human health risk for adults revealed an estimated daily intake (EDI) value of beef meat below the threshold of the oral reference dose (RFD) for all analyzed metals except for As, where 46.7% of chilled samples and 60% of frozen samples exceeded the RFD. Furthermore, both the Hazard Quotient (THQ) for As and Hazard Index (HI) for all the analyzed metals were above 1 in 33.3% of chilled samples and 46.7% of frozen samples.
Conclusion:
This indicates the remarkable adverse effects on human health associated with the consumption of meat of elevated levels of heavy metals, emphasizing the need for stringent quality control measures within the food industry.
Minimally invasive percutaneous elastic plate osteosynthesis as a treatment option for tibial diaphyseal fracture in skeletally immature dogs
Authors: Berg Jon , vik Bente
Published: January 2024

Background:
Paediatric fractures are relatively common in dogs, and several treatment options exist, particularly for fractures in the distal extremities. Regardless of choice of treatment, the overall goal is rapid restoration and excellent long-term functional recovery, with minimal discomfort and morbidity during healing. This case series aims to report the long-term outcome after minimally invasive percutaneous elastic plate osteosynthesis (MIPEPO) in the treatment of paediatric tibial fractures in dogs and compare this to other treatment options, where all techniques emphasize on biological osteosynthesis. We especially accentuate surgery time, patient comfort level during osteosynthesis, time to clinical union, complications, including long-term follow-up.
Case Description:
Medical records of five skeletally immature (juvenile) dogs <6 months old with an isolated tibial diaphyseal fracture or a combination of tibial and fibular diaphyseal fractures, treated with MIPEPO aided by fluoroscopy. All dogs experienced excellent levels of comfort and limb functionality and exhibited preserved muscle mass throughout the healing process. The mean duration until plate removal was 27.6 days, standard deviation ((SD) ±9.61; range, 15-36 days) following the operation. Subsequently, four dogs underwent a follow-up examination approximately 1.5 years after plate removal, during which bilateral orthogonal radiographs of the tibia were obtained. These radiographs revealed minimal discrepancies in terms of limb length, frontal plane alignment, and rotational alignment. Furthermore, the owners expressed complete satisfaction with their dogs' recovery and restoration of intended function.
Conclusion:
MIPEPO is quick to perform and well tolerated, with rapid fracture healing in juvenile dogs and excellent long-term outcomes. It can be considered along with external fixators and external coaptation when dealing with juvenile diaphyseal fractures.
Navicular bone fracture and severe deep digital flexor tendinopathy after palmar digital neurectomy in two horses
Authors: Larsen Elizabeth , Williams Megan , Schoonover Mike , Jurek Kelsey , Young Jenna , Duddy Hugh
Published: January 2024

Background:
Navicular syndrome is a common cause of forelimb lameness in the horse. Beyond changes to the navicular bone itself, horses with a clinical diagnosis of navicular syndrome often have pathology associated with other components of navicular apparatus, including the navicular bursa, deep digital flexor tendon, collateral sesamoidean ligaments, and impar ligament. Palmar digital neurectomy (PDN) is often used as a salvage procedure for horses diagnosed with navicular syndrome that become unresponsive to medical management. There are many potential complications associated with PDN, some of which are debilitating.
Case Description:
This report describes two cases of navicular bone fracture with severe deep digital flexor tendinopathy and distal interphalangeal joint subluxation/hyperextension that occurred 12 and 19 weeks after bilateral forelimb PDN.
Conclusion:
These two cases highlight the importance of proper patient selection prior to PDN due to the high incidence of undiagnosed soft tissue pathology in conjunction with radiographic evidence of navicular syndrome. Advanced imaging of the digit is recommended to identify and characterize any soft tissue pathology associated with the navicular apparatus prior to pursuing PDN to avoid disease progression and catastrophic injury.
A Study on the Relationship between Strong Earthquake and Abnormality of Space Static Electricity with Sample
Authors: Huang Chong-fu , Chen Tao , Li Lei
Published: January 2024

It has been observed that, before some strong earthquakes occur, the space static electricity near the ground is abnormal, which might be caused by a large amount of radioactive gas released from the Earth's crust. In this paper, the information diffusion technology for optimally processing small samples is used to analyze 30 cases, and the relationship between magnitude and parameters such as abnormality of space static electricity is constructed. Each case is composed of four observation values: abnormality e, epicenter distance d, impending time t and magnitude m. Using the causal relationship constructed in this paper, the magnitude m of an impending earthquake could be approximately inferred from abnormality e. According to the progress of locking the epicenter and the passage of time, the predicted magnitude could be adjusted in a timely manner. The research results provided in this paper do not eliminate the uncertainty of earthquake occurrence, so that the study is a work of analyzing seismic dynamic risk.Integrating the monitoring information from seismic stations and the physical field information in the air will promote impending earthquake prediction, which is a worldwide scientific challenge.
ANONİM ORTAKLIK YÖNETİM KURULUNDA AZINLIĞIN TEMSİLİ
Authors: Memişoğlu Onur
Published: January 2024

Bu çalışmada, anonim ortaklık yönetim kurullarında, 6102 sayılı Türk Ticaret Kanunu’nun, 6762 sayılı Kanun hükümlerinden farklı olarak belirli bir pay grubuna temsil yetkisi verilebileceğine ilişkin hükmü çerçevesinde azlığın yönetim kurulunda temsili üzerinde durulmuştur.
Azınlığın mevzuat hükümlerinde açıkça düzenlenmesinin sebebi, anonim ortaklıklarda oransallık ilkesi gereği şirket yönetiminde çoğunluğun tahakkümünün söz konusu olduğu durumlarda, karar alabilme imkanına sahip bulunmayan, ancak sermayenin belirli bir bölümünü de teşkil eden pay sahiplerinin korunması amacına hizmet etmektir. 6102 sayılı Türk Ticaret Kanunu’nun azınlık paylarının yönetim kurulunda temsiline ilişkin hükümleri de aynı endişelerle, anonim şirket genel kurulunun egemeni olacak çoğunluğu sağlayabilen pay sahiplerinin, azınlığın yönetim kurulunda temsilini engelleyebilecek türdeki işlemlerini sınırlayabilmek ve azınlığın yönetim kurulunda temsiline fırsat yaratabilmek için getirilmiştir.
Çoğunluk ilkesinin sınırsız olarak uygulanması durumunda genel kurulda ve dolayısıyla yönetim kurulunda gücü ele geçiren pay sahipleri, şirket yönetiminde söz almak ve yönetime dair kararlarda belirleyici olmak isteyen pay sahiplerinin yönetime katılmasına engel olabilecek, karar alma mekanizmasını tekelinde bulundurabilecektir. Bu durumda çoğunluğun karşısında yer alan münferit pay sahipleri tamamen çoğunluğa tabi olacak ve haklarını koruyabilmeleri mümkün olamayacak, çoğunluk ise şirketi kendi menfaatleri doğrultusunda idare edebilecektir. Ancak azınlık lehine getirilecek imkanların genişletilmesi halinde anonim ortaklıkların işleyiş felsefesi zarar görecek, şirketin karar alma ve uygulama süreci kesintiye uğrayacak ve şirket yönetiminde zafiyet oluşacaktır. Bu nedenle Kanun’da öngörülen hükümlerin söz konusu hassas dengeyi gözetebilmesi önemlidir.
Mülga 6762 sayılı Türk Ticaret Kanunu’nda düzenlenmemiş olmakla birlikte azınlığa verilen yönetimde temsil hakkı, mehaz İsviçre Borçlar Kanunu’nda yer almaktaydı. 6102 sayılı Türk Ticaret Kanunu yürürlüğe girmeden önce ise Yüksek Mahkemenin, belirli pay gruplarına imtiyaz tanınabileceğine dair içtihatları mevcuttu. 6102 sayılı Türk Ticaret Kanunu’nda ise konu hakkında detaylı hükümler ihdas edilmiştir.
Çalışmada azlığın çıkış noktası olan anonim ortaklıklara hâkim ilkelerden çoğunluk ve oransallık ilkelerine değinildikten sonra, genel olarak azınlık kavramı, belirleyici unsurları, azınlık hakkına sahip pay gruplarının yönetim kurulunda temsili ve 360. madde hükmünün ihlalinin sonuçları anlatılmıştır.

A Study on the Application of Ecological linguistics to English Teaching
Authors: Kong Lingdan
Published: January 2024

This paper explores the application of ecological linguistics to English teaching, highlighting its significance in enhancing language learning and promoting a deeper understanding of the interconnectedness between language, culture, and the environment. Ecological linguistics recognizes that language is inseparable from its social, cultural, and ecological contexts, emphasizing the role of context in language teaching. By incorporating ecological perspectives, English language educators can help learners comprehend how language usage varies across different contexts and how ecological factors influence linguistic choices, thereby improving learners' ability to communicate effectively in real-world situations. Additionally, ecological linguistics promotes the use of authentic language materials and real-world contexts, exposing learners to diverse linguistic practices and cultural diversity. It also acknowledges language variation and diversity, fostering tolerance, inclusivity, and intercultural competence. Furthermore, the integration of language and culture is emphasized, promoting cultural awareness and sensitivity among learners. The paper proposes strategies for English teaching within the Ecological Linguistics Dynamic Mode, such as establishing clear and adaptive teaching objectives, utilizing diverse teaching approaches, and implementing dynamic assessment. By adopting these strategies, educators can create a comprehensive and meaningful learning experience that extends beyond language structures, equipping learners with the necessary linguistic and cultural tools to navigate a diverse and rapidly changing world.

Authors: WANG ZEYU
Published: January 2024

The universalization of higher education in China has undergone a remarkable transformation driven by government policies and rapid economic growth. This study explores the characteristics and future development of this educational evolution. China's journey towards universalization began with ambitious policy initiatives in 1998, aiming to expand access to higher education. Within a mere 17 years, the gross enrollment rate in higher education surged from 9.8% to an impressive 50%, surpassing the United States' 30-year path to universality. This rapid expansion, fueled by a burgeoning economy, has raised questions about educational quality and employability. New universities have played a crucial role, expanding access and optimizing the higher education structure. However, they face challenges due to their short history and limited resources. The study also emphasizes the need for a balanced regional framework and an education model aligning with sustainable development goals. China's experience in universalizing higher education provides valuable insights for global educational development. This transformation serves as a noteworthy case study, highlighting the importance of balancing quantity and quality in higher education expansion and providing lessons for educational development worldwide.

Authors: Li Yingxin , Sun Yaru
Published: January 2024

Critical thinking is a key component of essential literacy skills, and it plays a crucial role in students' learning and development. Research shows that emotions have a significant influence on individual thinking activities, and they are important non-intellectual factors in developing students' critical thinking. Up to now, research scholars at home and abroad have conducted a lot of empirical studies to explore the possible relationship between the two variables. However, there is still a lack of research to systematically provide a holistic view. The current study is trying to present a comprehensive network of critical thinking and emotions through the discussion on the four-aspect correlation, that is, the correlation between critical thinking and negative emotion, critical thinking and emotional intelligence, critical thinking, emotion and academic achievement, and critical thinking, emotion and psychological cognition. The study also puts forward the limitations of the current research from the perspectives of research methods, research objects, and research contents, as well as the prospect of future research.

AVRUPA BİRLİĞİ VE TÜRK MARKA HUKUKU KAPSAMINDA MEŞRU KULLANIM SAVUNMASININ KOŞULLARINA İLİŞKİN BAZI TESPİT VE DEĞERLENDİRMELER
Authors: Büyükkılıç Gül
Published: January 2024

Marka hakkı, mutlak nitelikte, herkese karşı ileri sürülebilen, sahibine işaret üzerinde tekel hakkı sağlayan güçlü malvarlığı haklarından biridir. Ancak koruma kapsamının sadece marka sahibinin menfaatlerinin dikkate alınarak belirlenmesi, piyasadaki diğer ekonomik aktörlerin devre dışı kalmasına, serbest ve haklı rekabetin zedelenmesine ve hatta ortadan kalkmasına sebep olur. İşte bu sebepledir ki, bazı istisnai hâllerde markaya sağlanan mutlak korumanın esnetilmesi ve marka sahibi yerine üçüncü kişilerin menfaatlerine üstünlük tanınması gerekir.
6769 sayılı Sınai Mülkiyet Kanunu (SMK) m. 7/5, dürüst ve ticari hayatın olağan akışı içerisinde kullanılmak kaydıyla tecavüz teşkil etmeyecek özel hâlleri düzenlemekte ve meşru kullanım sınırlamasının koşullarına önemli ölçüde açıklık getirmektedir. Öte yandan hükmün lafzı bazı soruları da cevapsız bırakmaktadır. Nitekim meşru kullanımın hukuki niteliği, “dürüst ve ticari hayatın olağan akışı içerisinde kullanım” ifadesinden ne anlaşılması gerektiği, bu çerçevede hükmün 4721 sayılı Türk Medeni Kanunu (TMK) m. 2 karşısındaki durumu, “ticari hayatın olağan akışı” kavramının neyi ifade ettiği, hüküm kapsamında markasal kullanımın gerekliliği bunlardan bazılarıdır. Bu çalışmada, Avrupa Birliği ve Türk marka hukuku doktrini ve yargı kararları ışığında söz konusu hususlara açıklık kazandırılarak meşru kullanım sınırlamasına ilişkin bazı kriterler tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır.
OLAĞANÜSTÜ DÖNEMLERDE YAPILAN FAHİŞ FİYAT ARTIŞLARININ HAKSIZ REKABET HUKUKU BAKIMINDAN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: Bingöl Muhammet Emin
Published: January 2024

Bu çalışma olağanüstü dönemler sonrasında yapılan fahiş fiyat artışlarına özgülenmiş olup, olağanüstü dönemlerde yapılan fahiş fiyat artışlarının yalnızca haksız rekaket hukuku bakımından değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu uğurda, ilk olarak hangi dönemlerin olağanüstü dönem olduğu ve yapılan fiyat artışlarının ne zaman fahiş fiyat artışı olarak nitelendirileceği değerlendirilmiştir. Ardından, fahiş fiyat artışlarına ilişkin Türk hukukunda yapılan düzenlemeler ile mukayeseli hukukta olağanüstü dönemlerde yapılan fahiş fiyat artışları ile mücadele yöntemleri kısaca açıklanmıştır. Son bölümde ise belirli şartlar altında, olağanüstü dönemlerde yapılan fahiş fiyat artışlarına haksız rekabet hukukunun enstrümanları ile müdahale edilebileceği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu anlamda TTK’nın haksız rekabete ilişkin hükümlerinin olağanüstü dönemlerde yapılan fahiş fiyat artışlarına uygulanabileceği kanaatine varılmıştır. Zira olağanüstü dönemlerde, toplumu oluşturan bireylerin birbirlerine yardım etmek yerine, zor durumda olan kimselerin bu durumundan faydalanarak aşırı menfaat devşirmesi, dürüstlük kuralı ile bağdaşmamaktadır.
