Authors: YILDIZ Aygün , ÇOLAK Kerem
Published: April 2022

Türk tarihinin yapı taşları niteliğinde olan Orhun Kitabeleri, takribi 1300 yıl önce yazılmalarına rağmen içerdikleri ifadeler bakımından güncelliğini koruyan ve günümüze ışık tutan bir yapıya sahiptir. Böyle bir içeriğe sahip olmaları nedeniyle, başta sosyal bilgiler dersi ve diğer disiplinler dâhilinde öğrencilere değerleri kazandırma hususunda fayda sağlayacak bir kaynak olduğu düşünülmektedir. Bu düşünceye istinaden araştırmanın temel amacı, Orhun Kitabeleri’ni Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Öğretim Programı içerisinde bulunan değerler açısından incelemektir. Nitel araştırma yaklaşımının uygulandığı bu çalışmada, Orhun Kitabeleri’ni oluşturan; Kül Tigin, Bilge Kağan, Tonyukuk, Ongi ve Küli Çor adlı yazıtlarda bulunan ifadeler “doküman incelemesi” kapsamında “betimsel analiz” yoluyla çözümlenmiştir. Çalışmanın veri kaynaklarını üç farklı tarihçinin yaptığı çeviriler oluşturmuş ve mezkûr yazıtların ihtiva ettiği veriler “Orhun Yazıtları Analiz Formu” isimli veri toplama aracı ile elde edilmiştir. Çalışmanın sonucunda, sosyal bilgiler dersi değerlerinin Orhun Kitabeleri’ndeki satırlar içerisinde bulunan değerler ile büyük oranda örtüştüğü gözlenmiştir. Öyle ki, Sosyal Bilgiler Dersi Öğretim Programı’nda bulunan on sekiz değerden, “tasarruf” hariç geriye kalan on yedi değere (adalet, aile birliğine önem verme, bağımsızlık, barış, bilimsellik, çalışkanlık, dayanışma, duyarlılık, dürüstlük, estetik, eşitlik, özgürlük, saygı, sevgi, sorumluluk, vatanseverlik ve yardımseverlik) karşılık gelecek ifadeler kitabelerde geçmektedir. Bu sonuçlara binaen, sosyal bilgiler dersi bazında verilen değer eğitiminde Orhun Kitabeleri’nden faydalanılması gerektiği önerilmiştir.

Authors: Ablyatipova N.A. , Kravtsova A.A.
Published: April 2022

One of the criteria for determining the requirements for the quality of the product is the specific purpose of the purchase of the product, which the buyer informs the seller. Meanwhile, there is legal uncertainty on the issue of assigning the risk of adverse consequences to the parties to the contract of sale, when the buyer wants to purchase the goods for specific purposes that do not correspond to the objective purpose of the goods, and having received full information about the goods, being notified of obstacles to the use of the goods for the designated purposes, insists on its transfer to ownership. In this regard, the authors investigate the ways of notifying the seller about the specific purposes of the purchase of goods by the buyer, the conditions for the obligation to transfer the goods, the quality of which corresponds to such purposes, in the system of relations arising from such types of sales contracts as retail sales contracts and delivery contracts. Based on the analysis of legislation and materials of judicial practice, the problems of applying the provisions of paragraph 2 of Article 469 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, paragraph 3 of Article 4 of the Law of the Russian Federation of 07.02.1992 N 2300-1 «On Consumer Rights Protection» are highlighted. Based on the results of the work, the authors have developed practical proposals and recommendations for improving the legislation.

Authors: Klimova D.V.
Published: April 2022

Ensuring road safety is a complex and multifaceted problem. Therefore, measures to prevent road accidents (hereinafter referred to as road accidents) should be comprehensive. Accident prevention activities directly affect their dynamics. Since the line between them lies in the sphere of consequences, and violations can be and often are completely identical, preventive work aimed at preventing road accidents can be generally qualitatively homogeneous. Organizational support of preventive measures is the content of road accident prevention and it is in their implementation that the specific features of this type of prevention as an independent subsystem of social prevention are revealed. The core of the prevention system is the development and implementation of a set of preventive measures. Prevention of offenses is determined by the general goal of social prevention — to prevent offenses, to prevent antisocial behavior, and is carried out at the same levels, in the same forms and by the same means, taking into account the delicacy. In this area, it is impossible to do without the achievements of technological progress. In all EU member states, without exception, technical means of ensuring road safety have become widely used.

Published: April 2022

In the Philippines, demand for family planning (FP) is high, and the government is committed to helping the population achieve universal access to quality FP information and services. Reach Health Assessing Cost-Effectiveness for Family Planning (RACE-FP) is a decision support tool designed to estimate the impact FP interventions have on averting unintended pregnancies and on downstream maternal and neonatal health (MNH) outcomes. This report provides technical details of the RACE-FP model. RACE-FP is organized by objectives: improve postpartum FP, improve public sector and private sector provision of FP, improve demand for FP, reduce contraceptive stockouts, and introduce a modern contraceptive method. Although other models have been developed to estimate the impact of contraceptive use on averting unintended pregnancy at the national level for the Philippines, RACE-FP is the only model to provide estimates at national and regional levels, include intervention and commodity costs, disaggregate outcomes by age group and setting (public, private, community), and estimate the broader impact of modern contraceptive prevalence on MNH outcomes. RACE-FP can be an important resource to determine the relative benefit of FP interventions in the Philippines and could support policy decisions globally.

N-GRAMS ASSISTED YOUTUBE SPAM COMMENTDETECTION
Authors:   Assistant Professor in Sreyas Institute of Engineering and Technology, JNTUH, India, PULI SRILATHA
Published: April 2022

This paper proposes a novel technique for detecting intrusive comments or spam on the video sharing website - YouTube. We describe spam comments as those which have persuasive intent or those who deem to be contextually irrelevant for a given video. The prospects of monetization through advertising on popular social media channels over the years have attracted an increasingly large number of users. This has in turn led to the growth of the malicious users who have begun to build up automated bots, which are proficient of large scale orchestrated distribution of spam messages across multiple channels simultaneously. These intrusive comments damage the fame of a channel and also the experience of regular users. YouTube themselves have embarked upon this issue with some finite methods which blocks unsolicited comments that consists of links. Those methods have proven to be exceptionally unproductive as spammers have found strategies to bypass such heuristics. Standard machine learning classification algorithms are operative but there is always a possibility for better accuracy with novel methods. In this work, we aim to identify such comments by implementing conventional machine learning algorithms such as Random Forest, Support Vector Machine, and Naive Bayes along with certain custom heuristics such as Count Vectorizer which have proven to be very effective in detecting and subsequently combating spam commentary.

Preterm infants are a special category of patients known for high rates of associated morbidities. This morbidities range from breathing problems to motor and neurologic impairments. The survival rates are improving along with better neonatal care, but the effects of preterm birth can still be seen in this category in patients. Even though dental health problems are not a largely debated subject, one should take into consideration that teeth, like other tissues are influenced by prematurity, and preterm babies are more likely to develop dental problems.

At menopause, a woman's body undergoes radical hormonal changes, which predisposes to damage of the oral cavity. The onset of menopause is a series of morpho functional physiological adaptive changes with systemic and oral action in women. Oral health is closely related to dental hygiene, a major concern in menopause. The addressability of women to dental services tends to increase due to perimenopausal changes that occur in the gums and teeth and the oral microbiome. These changes have a hormonal substrate that significantly influences the evolution of oral health. The purpose of this review is to understand the occurrence and evolution of oro-dental complications in menopause and the systematization of therapeutic regimens. The PubMed and Web Of Science databases searched identified approximately 21 eligible articles. Periodontal damage is the most common, followed by dryness and burning sensation in the mouth. The role of hormone replacement therapy is controversial in terms of prophylaxis or the obvious therapeutic aspect of menopausal women with oral symptoms. The lack of extensive research, at least for the time being, does not establish clear therapeutic protocols to resolve these dental conditions.

To assess the type and distribution of dento-periodontal traumas in mixed dentition in a group of children aged 3-9 years who seek consultation and treatment in the Pedodontics Department of the Faculty of Dentistry. Material and methods. Retrospective descriptive observational descriptive study performed on 114 children (67 boys) aged 3-9 years, (mean age - 5.65 ± 1.45 years) with dento-periodontal trauma to temporary teeth (dt) and permanent teeth (PT), which occurred in Bucharest Pedodontics Clinic during 2015-2019. The recorded data were obtained from the emergency register of this clinic. The distribution of patients according to age, sex, environment, etiology, age and location of trauma and number of affected teeth was assessed and the distribution of affected teeth was analyzed according to the type of dentition affected, topography of affected teeth and emergency treatment performed. Results. The most frequent traumas for dt were registered at the age of 3 years, and for DP at the age of 7-8 years. Boys were more affected than girls (58.77% and 41.23%, respectively; NS, p > 0.05). 63% of patients came from urban areas and 37% from rural areas. Most injuries (64.03%) were caused by accidental falling children. 50.87% of patients presented to the clinic less than 24 hours after the accident. 55.27% of the traumas occurred in the internal environment. Most patients (87.71%) had 1 or 2 affected teeth. 41% of the traumas were at DP and 59% at dt. At DP there were 21.57% dental injuries and 19.12% periodontal injuries. At dt 11.76% were dental traumas and 47.54% periodontal. The upper frontals were the most affected teeth at both dentitions. Conclusions. Dento-periodontal injuries are a common pathology in this age group and it is important to make the persons around children aware of the importance of their prevention.

The worldwide high prevalence, alongside both modifiable and unmodifiable risk factors and local causal factors of the periodontal disease lead to bone and periodontal gum attachment loss. It is not considered a systemic disease but there are pathological influences between general diseases such as diabetes mellitus and periodontal disease. Anxiety of dental settlement is a main factor that prevent patients from addressing to a regular follow-up or, worse, to obtain the personalized treatment from the beginning of dental conditions. We present a case of a 24-year-old male that postponed his presentation to dentist until pain prevented him from a proper sleep. He required a complete history and clinical examination in order to identify his dental emergency and, also, the dentist anxiety he developed during his lifetime. His management required a complex treatment, fractioned in multiple session, in order to help him overcome his anxiety and to obtain a good outcome. The case particularity include the lack of proper oral hygiene, due to the acute and/or chronic pain that the patient encountered, alongside with the fear of the dentist and the dental office, that delayed the presentation to a specialist to the moment when pain was unbearable and represented a medical emergency.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic non-transmittable disease and, alongside periodontal disease, another chronic disease, but with infectious and inflammatory etiology, that have increasing prevalence. The link between the two comorbidities is bidirectional, with common aspects such the inflammatory state, altered immune response and healing process. This link is alimented, also, by oxidative stress, an element that can initiate proinflammatory pathways in both pathologies. Moreover, periodontal disease favors the development of DM complications by a multifactorial mechanism centered on hyperglycemia, that leads to damage of the endothelial vascular cells, characteristic for microvascular complications, while the periodontal bacteria and their waste products, and inflammatory cytokines lead to an increase in systemic inflammation and damage of the vascular walls that aggravates the atherogenic process. The increase of novel cases of type 2 DM or gestational DM in patients with periodontitis has no sufficient data. Dental caries is favored by DM and not by periodontal disease. So, DM is a well-known risk factor for periodontal disease and, on the other hand, periodontitis influences the metabolic control and favors the development of DM complications, but with a link between these conditions that is not fully understood. Other comorbidities, such as missing teeth, depression, osteoporosis are, also, positively associated to higher risk of development for periodontal disease. Patients with DM should be regularly screened for periodontal disease and referred to therapy if necessary, while the patients with periodontal disease should be screened for the presence of DM.

The problem of infertility is complex and very delicate, medicine and psychology being concerned with better understanding the causes and consequences of infertility, as well as the symptoms of psychopathology in correlation with it. The aim of this review is to clarify how fertilization treatment impacts the couple and to present therapeutic interventions in assisting couples facing infertility. This paper is a review based on information from the literature. The analysis was limited to articles and guidelines in English published between January 1, 2000 and November 1, 2021 on PubMed, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar using the following keywords: infertility, support, couple, treatment, mental health, psychological interventions. In this review, we discussed the treatment methods and emotional symptoms of couples diagnosed with infertility and the psychological interventions needed to optimize the well-being of infertile people. According to the literature, the role of psychoeducation for couples undergoing assisted human reproduction treatment is important in the optimal management of the difficulties they go through and can also add value to the medical process. Also, psychological interventions relieve the emotional symptoms that are felt by infertile couples, optimize well-being and increase success rates in the treatment of infertility.

Parathyroid glands-related issues (also involving calcium-phosphorus metabolism) amid pandemic are represented by: complicated recovery after COVID-19 infection in cases with severe vitamin D (VD) deficiency or uncorrected hypocalcemia (hCa); the cases with primary hyperparathyroidism-related hypercalcemia who are postponed for parathyroid adenoma removal might be complicated with arrhythmia if the patient becomes COVID-19 positive; lockdown restrictions limited the physical activity, a situation which might aggravate sarcopenia and bone mineral density loss; subjects with renal hyperparathyroidism who do not have controlled values of serum calcium are at higher risk of severe COVID-19 infection due to a wide area of chronic renal failure-associated complications, including Ca, VD and PTH disturbances. This is an update concerning parathyroid glands in relationship to two-year pandemic experience. The mini-review of literature is based on PubMed navigation using a combination of key words like “parathyroid glands”, “parathyroid”, “parathormone”, “vitamin D”, “calcium” and “COVID-19” or “coronavirus” or “pandemic”. During the first months of COVID-19 pandemic there was a massive reduction of parathyroidectomies volume which was elective for severe forms associating life threatening values of serum calcium. The number of parathyroidectomies increased during the second year of pandemic Hypocalcemia remains a poor prognostic factor in severe COVID-19 infections while underling mechanisms are complex and might not be exclusively related to vitamin D deficiency which is a topic still on trends. Direct hypoparathyroidism is a new entity amid coronavirus-induced puzzle. E-health is mandatory to follow calcium correcting medication and associated life style intervention in cases with anomalies of calcium/PTH/VD levels.

Objectives. To gain insight into the characteristics of female forensic psychiatric patients in Romania and to identify the potential differences between female and male forensic inpatients. Material and method. Data on all patients admitted according to art. 110 of the Romanian Penal code to Sapoca Psychiatry and Safety Measures Hospital between 2008 and 2018 were collected from hospital records (electronic records, clinical files, social assessment forms and legal files). The final sample comprised 650 individuals: 84% were men and 16% were women. Results and discussion. There were few socio-demographic differences. Both men and women had a psychiatric history, and schizophrenia spectrum disorders were the most frequent main diagnosis in both groups. Women were more likely to have committed arson, homicide and attempted homicide and to be hospitalized for a shorter period of time. Conclusions. Consistent with previous studies, we concluded that men and women admitted to forensic psychiatric hospitals differ in a number of ways. Our study highlights the need to continue and expand the research into the Romanian forensic psychiatric inpatient population.

The particular interest of the study of the evolution of children with very low birth weight is constantly growing because it has the highest percentage in perinatal mortality. The medical care of premature newborn with low birth weight is meticulous, long, very pretentious and expensive, and the prognosis is frequently burdened by complications and neuropsychic sequelae. The defining characteristic of these children – their biological immaturity that has a wide and complex impact on the functioning of metabolic apparatus, systems and pathways –is both a factor with profound implications on adaptation to mechanical and hypoxic aggression imposed by labor and premature birth and a disability of adaptation postnatal development and further development.

Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy is one of the most common glomerulonephritis. Its clinical manifestations vary from asymptomatic forms to cases with nephritic syndrome or nephrotic-range proteinuria. The prognosis depends on the level of proteinuria, decline of glomerular filtration rate and control of blood pressure. The pathognomonic histological changes are represented by the granular IgA deposits in the mesangium. The treatment consists of comprehensive support care and immunosuppressive therapy. We discuss the case of a 50-year-old man who presented microscopic hematuria, nephrotic-range proteinuria and decreased renal function, exacerbated in the last 6 months prior the admission. We performed a renal biopsy and granular deposits were present in the glomerular mesangium that were highly suggestive for IgA nephropathy. Immunosuppressive therapy was instituted immediately, but the decline of the renal function continued and renal replacement therapy was needed. Patients with poor prognosis have an unsatisfactory response to the immunosuppressants, especially those with a delayed diagnosis.

Two new species of the genus Australobius Chamberlin, 1920 (Lithobiomorpha: Lithobiidae) discovered in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China are described. Australobius yushuensis sp. n. and Australobius nanqianensis sp. n.exhibit a few morphological differences from their congeners recorded from China, less forcipular coxosternal teeth, only 3+3 as against the others and more ocelli, 10–13 ocelli on each side arranged in three irregular rows instead of two rows. A key to the known Chinese species of the genus Australobius based on adult specimens is presented.
Primula shimenensis (Primulaceae), a new species from karst caves in Hunan, China

Primua shimenensis W.Zhang & J.W.Shao, a new species from Hunan Province, China, is described. Its leaf morphology is similar to P. merrilliana complex and flower morphology similar to P. cicutariifolia, but it can be distinguished from the former by flower homostylous, corolla lobes cuneate-oblong and apex obviously emarginate, and can be differed from the latter by cotyledon triangular obovate, plants densely covered with glandular hairs, pinnae margin usually pinnatipartite, and special habitat (karst caves). The whole plastid genome of this new species is 151, 601–151, 630bp in length. Phylogenetic trees, based on the whole plastid genome sequences, revealed that the new species didn’t genetically related to the above two morphologically similar species but closely related to P. hubeiensis. Currently, only three populations were discovered within a small distribution area, thus it is preliminarily considered as Vulnerable (VU) according to criteria of the IUCN Red List.

The genus Paracladopus was established based on the type species P. chiangmaiensis in 2006. The two Paracladopus species are distributed in Thailand and Laos; however, neither of them has been documented in China to date. During our field work in 2020, we collected a river-weed in Wuzhi Mountain, Hainan Province of China. After checking the morphological characters, it was identified as P. chiangmaiensis. Then, we assembled and annotated its chloroplast genome based on the genome skimming data. The results showed that the complete chloroplast genome was 133,748 bp with 35% GC content, consisting of 76 protein-coding genes, 30 tRNA genes, and 4 rRNA genes. A maximum-likelihood tree constructed based on the matk genes showed that WuMS109 was clustered with P. chiangmaiensis (AB537420, AB698348) without base difference and together with the remains of Paracladopus formed a sister clade to Cladopus. This is the first report of P. chiangmaiensis that represents a new generic record for China. The discovery of this river-weed could lay the foundation for investigating their biogeographical patterns and species evolution in further studies.

Background/Aims: The study investigated the incidence of thromboembolic events (TEE) in head and neck (H&N) cancer patients who received concurrent chemoradiotherapy (CCRT) with cisplatin, and analyzed the factors affecting TEE occurrenceMethods: Two hundred and fifty-seven patients who started CCRT with cisplatin for H&N cancer from January 2005 to December 2019 were analyzed.Results: TEE occurred in five patients, an incidence rate of 1.9%. The 2-, 4-, and 6-month cumulative incidences of TEE were 0.8%, 1.6%, and 1.9%, respectively. Khorana score was the only factor associated with TEE occurrence (p = 0.010).Conclusions: The incidence of TEE in H&N cancer patients who underwent CCRT with cisplatin was relatively low when compared to other types of cancer. However, patients with a high Khorana score require more careful surveillance for possible TEE occurrence.

Dans quelle mesure les dossiers psychiatriques peuvent-ils être utilisés comme des sources d’histoire sociale ? C’est la question à laquelle cet article se propose de répondre, à partir d’une expérience de recherche portant sur la société de RDA. Dans le cadre d’un retour sur enquête, il s’agit de reconstituer le cheminement qui a fait des dossiers d’une clinique psychiatrique de Berlin-Est des sources permettant de saisir certaines des tensions qui traversent la société socialiste des années 1960.
La vie secrète des œuvres ?
Authors: Kreplak Yaël
Published: April 2022

À partir d’une enquête ethnographique au Musée national d’art moderne, cet article explore les enjeux de la documentation des collections : chaque œuvre possède en effet son dossier, où est consigné tout ce qui concerne sa carrière au sein du musée, avec en outre une partie dite « confidentielle » qui cristallise un certain nombre d’enjeux relatifs à la circulation du savoir sur les œuvres. Croisant analyse de contenu et observation des contextes d’usage des dossiers, l’étude de trois exemples de données confidentielles permet de saisir leur signification située. Le dossier offre ainsi une mise en perspective originale des œuvres, en manifestant leur attachement à l’institution et aux personnes qui s’en occupent.
