Authors: Açmaz Özden Melda , Yılmaz Emre
Published: September 2023

The evaluation of housing study in the historical areas brings to important issues such as the tendencies of the users in housing preferences and purchasing emerge. Determining housing preferences in historical areas is important to ensure socio-spatial sustainability and the protection-usage balance in these areas, which have a unique settlement pattern. The aim of the study is to determine which factors shape the housing preferences of the users in these areas. Also, it is aimed to evaluate whether registered and traditional residences are a reason for preference by individuals. Kilitbahir located within the boundaries of Çanakkale Gallipoli Historical Site has been determined as the case area. In this study, in which descriptive survey model was used, the main and sub-factors were analyzed to determine the housing preferences in the historical area. Evaluation was made in four groups: the main factors affecting the housing preferences, the sub-factors determining the housing preferences, the analysis of the propositions for the housing market and the analysis of the housing preferences according to the user profiles. As a result of the evaluations, the participants in Kilitbahir give more importance to the structural, visual and economic criteria when purchasing housing than the criteria related to social, historical and tourism issues. Moreover, depending on the level of education and age, there is an awareness of registered and traditional houses in the area.

Kukuruz (Zea mays L.) je najzastupljenija ratarska kultura na području Republike Hrvatske. Ostvarivanje visokih prinosa i dobre kvalitete zrna kukuruza moguće je ukoliko se poljoprivredna proizvodnja prilagodi klimatskim uvjetima i potrebama uzgajane kulture. Cilj rada bio je odrediti osnovne elemente navodnjavanja kukuruza na području Orahovice (Hrvatska), uzimajući u obzir klimatske čimbenike kao što su: oborine, temperatura zraka, vjetar, relativna vlaga zraka i insolacija, ovisno o rokovima sjetve te podatke o tlu (volumna gustoća i hidropedološke konstante). Analizom podataka u razdoblju od 2011. do 2020. godine utvrđena je potreba za navodnjavanjem kukuruza. U prosječnim godinama sa stajališta proizvodnje kukuruza norma navodnjavanja iznosi 132 mm, a u sušnim 268 mm. Norma navodnjavanja postrnog kukuruza u sušnim godinama iznosi 98,9 mm. Biljkama pristupačna voda i prinos kukuruza su proporcionalno promjenjive vrijednosti, što znači da manjak oborina negativno utječe na prinos i obrnuto. Kako bi se smanjenje prinosa zbog abiotskog stresa izazvanog sušom smanjilo na najmanju moguću mjeru, nedostatak vode je potrebno nadoknaditi agrotehničkom mjerom navodnjavanja. Osim osiguravanja dovoljne količine vode za razvoj kukuruza, navodnjavanjem se može proširiti i raspon sjetvenih rokova.

Published: September 2023

Надано прогноз обсягів рубок головного користування на 90-річний період для соснових експлуатаційних лісів Полісся, а також на 110-річний період для інших категорій лісів, що включені в розрахунок головного користування. Проведено розрахунки нормальної (рівномірного користування), першої та другої вікових, а також раціональної лісосік. Визначено, що найбільш обґрунтованою виявилася раціональна лісосіка, що передбачає залучення в рубку з урахуванням достигання лише стиглих насаджень. За умови застосування раціональної лісосіки можна уже в другому та третьому розрахункових періодах досягти нормальної з поступовим вирівнюванням вікової структури. Запропоновано встановити вік рубки соснових деревостанів в експлуатаційних лісах І класу бонітету і вищих віком 91–100 років, а в соснових деревостанах в осередках кореневої губки – 51–60 років. Це надасть можливість покращити розмірно-якісну структуру деревостанів та посилити виконання ними еколого-захисних функцій, а також прискорить вирівнювання вікової структури соснових лісів.

The meninges are protective coverings around the whole central nervous system comprising of three layers, from outside inwards, Dura mater, Arachnoid mater and Pia mater. These three terms are derived from Latin, where ‘mater’ means mother. Why this motherhood has been implicated while naming these layers, carries a very interesting history and a strong philosophical background. Dura mater (Tough mother), Arachnoid mater (Spider-like mother) and Pia mater (Tender mother)-all of them cover the central nervous system and possess functional significance not less than that of a protective mother. Ancient Arabic scientists observed those facts and named them accordingly in Arabic. Later they were translated into Latin and are in practice till now. While studying various facts regarding the central nervous system, the etymology and philosophy of ‘maternalization of the meninges’ draws immense attention.

Background: Gliomas are the most common primary neoplasm of the brain. It histopathologically grades I to IV. I and II are low grade while III, IV are high grade. Low-grade gliomas are usually subject to either strict follow-up or surgery. The treatment for high grade gliomas is typically surgery, followed by concomitant radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Conventional MRI has limitations for the grading of gliomas. In addition to conventional MRI techniques, a variety of new techniques such as perfusion-weighted MRI which noninvasively measures cerebral perfusion that can be used for better assessment of glioma. This will be helpful for therapeutic approach and counseling about prognosis of the patient.
Methods: This cross sectional observational study was conducted in the Department of Neurosurgery, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University from IRB clearance to 18 months. The patients who fulfill the selection criteria were enrolled in this study. Written informed consent was taken from the patients and/or the legal guardian/ responsible family members after completely explaining to them the procedure and the purpose of the study. Patient’s data was collected in questionnaire/data collection sheet. The privacy of the patient was strictly maintained and the patient’s information will not be disclosed to any source. The study data will only be used for the purpose of this scientific study. This study was not causing any additional harm to the patients. All the patients were evaluated by a standard conventional contrast-enhanced study with perfusion-weighted image on Siemens 3 Tesla MRI. The histopathological grading of the tumor was done as per the WHO classification of 2007. Then correlation was done between PWI finding and WHO histopathological grading.
Results: Measurement of relative cerebral blood volume in glioma patients was done in PW-MRI preoperatively. Out of the 35 tumors evaluated, 17 were found as low rCBV and 18 as high. Histopathological examination of glioma was done postoperatively. Among 35 tumors, 19 are low grade gliomas and 16 are high grade gliomas. For the correlation between relative cerebral blood volume in preoperative PW MRI and histopathological grading of glioma, Spearman’s Rank Correlation Coefficient Test was done. We found a significant positive coefficient value of r = 0.572 with a significant p-value of p = <0.001. A single cutoff relative cerebral blood volume value of 1.7 for low versus high grade glioma was found to be 77.8% sensitive and 88.2% specific.
Conclusion: The present study ascertains that histopathological grading of glioma is positively correlated with relative cerebral blood volume in PW MRI.

Drug-resistant Focal Epilepsy due to Focal Cortical Dysplasia: A Case Report
Authors: Alam Md Shafiul , Haroon Kaisar
Published: September 2023

Focal cortical dysplasias (FCDs) belong to the large spectrum of malformations of cortical development (MCDs) and represent the most common structural brain lesion in children with drug-resistant focal epilepsies submitted to surgical treatment. It is responsible for nearly half of intractable epilepsy cases in children and adults, and at the same time it is characterized by quite good treatment outcome. We describe a case where a young girl had been suffering from intractable epilepsy and was on two medicines. She was operated upon and was relieved of her symptoms. Her histopathological examination revealed focal cortical dysplasia. We have to keep in mind that FCD can present as low grade glioma and treat it carefully.

Apparent Provisional Diagnosis Validated by Histopathology: 2 Case Report that mimics TB Spine Conflict of interest: There is no Conflict of interest relevant to this paper to disclose
Authors: Rashid Mohammad Humayun , Hossain Mohammad Nazrul , Ahmed Nazmin , Kazi Raad
Published: September 2023

Background: The incidence of atypical clinic-radiological presentations of spinal TB is on the upsurge. Lesions that share similar features should be evaluated thoroughly. Tissue diagnosis remains the only foolproof investigation to confirm diagnosis before initiation of treatment.
Methods: We present 2 cases who were provisionally diagnosed as a case of Tubercular spondylodiscitis based on clinic-radiological findings. After failure of response from anti tubercular drugs, they underwent operative management for decompression of neural elements and histological confirmation of the provisional diagnosis.
Results: Clinical features like back pain, weight loss, gait abnormalities with radiological features like Magnetic resonance imaging and GeneXpert, CT guided FNAC helps in early detection and initiation of treatment of spinal TB. But in our case, 58year old female and 13 years old male presented with clinic-radiological features consistent with Spinal TB. Histopathology and immunohistochemistry confirm that first case is due to Aspergillus Spinal Epidural Abscess (ASEA) and second case due to round blue cell neoplasm consistent with Ewings Sarcoma.
Conclusion: This article highlights the importance of awareness of the different clinic-radiographic features of spinal lesions, which can mimic a Tubercular Spondylodiscitis. In order to avoid delayed diagnosis, clinicians must be aware of differential diagnosis from common to rare entity which may interfere with other clinical conditions.

Invasive Sinu-Naso-Orbital Aspergillosis Following Dacryocystorhinostomy In An Immunocompetent Patient: A Rare Case Report And Literature Review
Authors: Habib Riad , Jahan Nwoshin , Rahman Atikur , Rahman Nafaur , Mahmood Ehsan , Raihan Md Farid
Published: September 2023

Background: Invasive sino-naso-orbital aspergilloma is a rare disease with variable clinical features but in an immunocompetent patient it is rarely considered and often resulted in poor prognosis due to its diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. In this article we reported a rare case of invasive sinu-naso-orbital aspergillosis with intracranial extension following dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR). To our knowledge this is the only reported case in last 109 years.
Case Description: A 61 years old normotensive non diabetic male referred to us from an ophthalmologist with the complaints of retro-orbital pain followed by progressive dimness of vision later blindness on right eye after dacryocystorhinostomy.
Diagnosis and Intervention: His MRI reveals an isointense lesion in T1W and T2W image in right maxillary, ethmoidal sinus with orbital and retro-orbital and intracranial extension with heterogeneous contrast enhancement. Radiologist suggested a case of inflammatory pseudotumor and initially he was treated with steroid, due to lack of clinical response later antifungal was given but patient still was nonresponsive. The patient underwent right pterional craniotomy for biopsy and optic nerve decompression. Histopathology revealed aspergillus infection.  Post-operatively he was treated with voriconazole.
Lessons: Invasive sino-orbital aspergillosis is rare in immunocompetent patients. Early diagnosis is critical for successful management. Due to difficulty of diagnosis and higher mortality and morbidity, our recommendation is- ‘a patient with nonspecific complaints or retro-orbital pain’ should prompt the physician to consider this diagnosis.

Management of Proptosis in a Case of Sphenoid-Orbital Meningioma
Authors: Rahman Md Moshiur , Khan Robert Ahmed , Khan SIM Khairun Nabi , Arifin Mohammad Samsul , Chowdhury Muhtamim
Published: September 2023

Sphenoid-orbital meningiomas (SOMs) are difficult to completely resect because they involve the sphenoid wing, orbit, and cavernous sinus. As the tumor invades the optic canal, SOMs frequently  present with visual deficits. The authors of this case report dealt with the case of a 65-year-old male patient who had right-sided proptosis. We diagnosed the patient, and his MRI revealed of him having SOM. The surgical approach was determined by the tumor's placement in the orbit and cranial cavity and its connections to the optic canal and optic nerve axis. Tumor was removed successfully by surgery. The patient retained a proptosis of less than 4 mm during the follow-up period. The visual acuity, visual field, and ocular fundus were examined during the follow-up. SOMs are notoriously difficult to treat surgically. The primary goal of surgery in symptomatic individuals with SOMs is to slow down the tumor's progression. Longer periods of post-operative follow-up is recommended to observe long-term results.

Obesity is one of the risk factors for diabetes mellitus. Obese people have a higher risk of insulin resistance. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic prompted the Indonesian government to enforce policies ranging from large-scale social restriction and transition to implementing emergency community activity restrictions at levels 1–4 that can have impacts that affect people’s lives, including affecting diets. The study aims to find out the dietary picture of adult obese individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus in the work area of Puskesmas Sidorejo Lor, Salatiga City, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study respondents were individuals aged 25–59 years of age, with a total of 22 people identified with type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity. The research uses quantitative descriptive methods with instruments such as Semi-quantitative Food Frequency questionnaires and Food recalls. Data is analyzed using the Food Ingredient Composition List, Nutrisurvey, and Microsoft Excel. The results of the study showed that the respondents’ energy, protein, and fat consumption was excessive, while the average respondent’s carbohydrate intake had a severe deficit. The study concluded that there was an imbalance in respondent intake because respondents reduced their consumption of carbohydrates, especially white rice, but their protein and fat intake was not in line with their needs.

Factors affecting recurrent hospitalization in patients with heart failure are non-compliance with medication, fluids, and diet. Compliance with medication, dietary and fluid restriction, and weight of the body are part of self-care management. The study aims to improve self-care management in heart failure patients. Literature reviews are used to identify articles through Scopus, ProQuest, PubMed, and CINAHL databases. The inclusion criteria are open access, in English, with full-text articles published between 2016 and 2022 with the keywords "self-regulation", "protection motivation theory" and "heart failure". A total of fifteen articles were reviewed to answer research questions. The data is analyzed by the PRISMA chart. The results of the literary study showed that there were 15 articles that met the inclusion criteria. There are eight studies that use randomized controlled trial designs; seven titles use cross-sectional designs; and one study uses qualitative designs. Results show that better self-care can improve outcomes, reduce the incidence of recurring hospitalizations, and reduce the burden of treatment for heart failure patients. Self-efficacy can also be predicted from self-care behavior. It can be concluded that self-regulation is significantly linked to self-management behavior, and self-adjustment programs are known to be effective in improving self-care behaviors in heart failure patients.

Introduction. Plant essential oils are supposed to be applied for local treatment of infectious focuses.

Aim. The aim of this study was evaluation of antimicrobial activity of essential oils of Thymus serpyllum L. and Thymus marschallianus Willd., widely distributed in the Saratov region.

Materials and methods. Antimicrobial activity of the essential oils was determined by a serial dilution test at the microbial number of 5 × 105 CFU/ml against 6 strains of Staphylococcus aureus, including S. aureus FDA 209P and five clinical, 2 strains of Escherichia coli – E. coli ATCC 25922 and one clinical, two strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa – P. aeruginosa ATCC 27835 and one clinical.

Results and discussion. The bactericidal minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of essential oil of T. serpyllum were determined for all strains of staphylococci (for 5 – 1097,5, for 1 – 2195 µg/ml). The bacteriostatic MICs were determined for 3 strains (for 2 – 548,75, for 1 – 1097,5 µg/ml). MICs of the T. marschallianus essential oil were bactericidal for all strains of S. aureus (120 for 5 and 480 µg/ml for 1 strain). For all test strains of gram-negative bacteria MICs of the essential oils of both species were bactericidal and amounted to 1097 and 960 µg/ml. Considering the chemical composition of the oils by thymol and its isomers, MIC50 of T. marschallianus and T. serpyllum for the test staphylococcal strains amounted 108,89 and 496,59, for the test strains of gram-negative bacteria 683,91 and 783,43 µg/ml respectively.

Conclusion. According to the values of MIC50 antistaphylococcal activity of the essential oils of T. marschallianus was significantly higher than this activity of the essential oils of T. serpyllum.

Authors: Taube A. A. , Velts N. Yu.
Published: September 2023

Introduction. Advanced therapy medicinal products (ATMPs) rely on recent advances in medical science, but alongside with potential benefits they may also bring safety concerns for patients. The inherent complexity of the ATMP production and use calls for special approaches to risk management throughout their lifecycle, from obtaining the raw materials to administration to the patient.

Aim. The aim of the present study was to develop approaches to risk management for ATMPs, using the example of CAR T-cell therapy.

Materials and methods. The study analysed the relevant regulatory frameworks currently in force in the European Union and the United States of America, namely the regulations and guidelines adopted by the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency.

Results and discussion. The paper provides a classification of patient risks, which was developed based on the European risk-based approach. It formulates the principles of risk management for each of the risks, depending on the stage of the product life cycle. Each type of risk was considered separately. The following risk minimization strategies were determined: compliance with the good practices, ensuring the necessary qualifications or expertise of all parties involved in the product life cycle. The main element of risk control is the detailed description of the medicinal product use in the summary of product characteristics and patient information leaflet.

Conclusion. The study identified the main stages at which ATMP risks may occur, and each type of risk was considered separately. The following requirements should be put in place in order to manage the ATMP risks: requirements for distributors on how to perform the product transportation and storage and to keep records for the marketing authorisation holder; requirements for healthcare facilities on how to perform the product storage, its preparation for use, advising and informing the patients on the treatment risks, symptoms of adverse events, preparatory and follow-up medical procedures, and on how to keep records for the marketing authorisation holder; requirements for the qualifications of healthcare professionals who are in charge of the product storage, its preparation for use, treatment procedures, advising and informing the patients on the treatment risks, symptoms of adverse events, and follow-up medical procedures. The data obtained will be used in the preparation of recommendations for ATMP developers.

This study aims to determine the teacher's technique in teaching English in bilingual class written by students of the English language education study program at Khairun University. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method in data collection and analysis. The instruments used were observation and interviews. The results of this study involved 1 subject, namely an English teacher, especially those who teach in bilingual class. From the results of this study, there are several teaching techniques that are used and some that are not used by the teacher to teach in bilingual class. Of the 8 techniques proposed by Amidinah (2015), there are only 3 techniques used during the learning process in the classroom. Those are panel discussion techniques, assignment techniques, and also questionanswer techniques. While the techniques that are not meant are lecture methods, discovery and simulation techniques, Inquiry techniques, travel technique and also experimental techniques. So the reason behind those techniques that do not occur in this teaching process is because they are adapted to the conditions and learning materials taught by the teacher in the classroom. where for travel techniques require students to study outside the classroom, experimental techniques are present if the material taught by the teacher is related to observing an object, lecture techniques only focus more on the teacher, while for discovery and simulation techniques only focus on understanding concepts, meanings and relationships, through an intuitive process to draw a conclusion from the learning material.

The Araceae plants are highly popular among plant enthusiasts worldwide. The Araceae family has more than 100 different types and thousands of species. Despite ever-evolving times, these plants have a high market value and challenging breeding methods. To achieve optimal quality, it is important to maintain the appropriate humidity and temperature according to the natural conditions of these plants in the tropical rainforest. The Node MCU ESP32 is a processor for instructions from the room temperature sensor, room humidity sensor, and soil moisture sensor. Additionally, this component controls the blower and misting system as output, which will be processed through LoRa technology to transmit monitoring data to the Blynk software. This study utilizes fuzzy logic to categorize room temperature, humidity, soil moisture, and output results for different Araceae plants. LoRa technology is used to send monitoring data efficiently in the data transmission process. During data retrieval using long-range technology, a delay of approximately 5 seconds is known between the receiver and transmitter at a distance of 700 meters. Constraints that cause issues with this long-range technology are influenced by wind, which affects antenna signal strength, and the presence of trees and buildings as obstacles. The monitoring results show an average temperature in normal conditions and an average humidity in wet conditions. At the same time, soil moisture is monitored to maintain normal humidity, resulting in all outputs being off.
