Abdominal wall metastasis and hyponatremia in metastatic renal cell carcinoma
Authors: Bansal Mansi , Kumar Ashok , Mohta Anup , Aggarwal Lalit , Ali Shadan
Published: April 2022

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is a frequently encountered urological malignancy. It accounts for 2% to 3% of all adult malignant neoplasms, and usually carries a poor prognosis. About one third of patients with RCCs have distant metastases at the time of diagnosis and in one fourth, metastasis occurs despite radical nephrectomy. The most frequent sites of metastasis include lung (50-75%), bone (30-40%), liver (30-40%), brain and thyroid (25%). Subcutaneous metastases are uncommon, with very few reported cases and typically imply a poor prognosis (3.4% incidence). Hyponatremia is a poor prognostic marker in malignancy and is rarely associated with RCC. We report a case of metastatic anterior abdominal wall nodules and hyponatremia in a 65 years old gentleman diagnosed with left renal cell carcinoma.

Morquio syndrome or something cryptic: think!
Authors: Singh Jasmine , Kumar Pankaj , Randev Shivani , Guglani Vishal
Published: April 2022

Morquio syndrome (MS) or mucopolysaccharidosis type IV A is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder caused by deficiency of N-acetylgalactosamine-6-sulfate sulfatase. The disorder is marked by characteristic physical features, skeletal abnormalities and normal intellect. We report a nine year old boy who presented with coarse facial features, barrel shaped chest, rhizomelic limb shortening and intellectual disability. Along with facial features, the initial radiological survey pointed to the diagnosis of MS. However when the urinary glycosaminoglycans came to be negative, the radiographs and clinical features were reviewed which led us to a rare syndrome with significantly different treatment and prognosis. A pediatrician should keep a high index of suspicion to pick up mimics of mucopolysaccharidosis as the variable prognosis and management protocol might be life saving in some cases.

Authors: Swain Santosh Kumar
Published: April 2022

Meniere’s disease (MD) is a chronic inner ear disease that severely affects the quality of life. MD often remains a diagnostic dilemma that challenges clinicians for its treatment. The clinical variability found in MD makes it necessary for the improvement of the diagnostic criteria with clinical findings and patient history. Taking into account the frequent nature of MD, proper diagnostic criteria are reliable for early diagnosis which is helpful for successful management of this morbid disease and undoubtedly cost-effective for the health care system. This review paper discusses on diagnostic criteria for MD jointly formulated by the equilibrium committee of the American academy of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery (AAO-HNS), the classification committee of the Barany society, the Japan society for equilibrium research, the European academy of otology and neurotology (EAONO) and the Korean balance society. The classification for MD includes two categories such as definite MD and probable MD. Diagnosis of definite MD is based on certain clinical criteria and need observation of episodic vertigo along with low to medium frequency sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) and fluctuating aural symptoms such as hearing loss, tinnitus, and/or fullness in the affected ear. The duration of vertigo is lasting from 20 min to 12 hours. The probable MD is a broader concept defined by episodic vertigo associated with fluctuating aural symptoms lasting for 20 min to 24 hours.

Evolutionary Game Analysis of Multiple Participation in Source Classification of Domestic Waste
Authors: Cui Tiening , Zhang Si
Published: April 2022

It’s difficult to guarantee the effect of the source classification of domestic waste only by government, so it’s necessary to rely on the participation of residents, social organizations and other forces. In this paper, by constructing the evolutionary game model of government, residents and social organizations, studies the evolutionary stability strategy, and uses matlab for simulation analysis. The results show that (1) When government loosely supervises and residents don’t participate in the classification, the frequency of participation of social organizations is not high, which is not conducive to the classification of waste sources. (2) When government strictly supervises and residents do not participate in the classification, social organizations are more active in participating, but the government’s management cost is too high. (3) When government loosely supervises and residents participate in classification, the participation rate of social organizations increases, and residents’ awareness of independent participation in waste classification is increased, also can achieve the desired objective waste classification. (4) When government strictly supervises and residents participate in classification, social organizations participate actively at the highest level, this form of positive attitudes by all three parties is also the best way to efficiently carry out waste classification at source.

Indonesia's Sustainable Development Goals Resolving Waste Problem: Informal to Formal Policy
Authors: Karjoko Lego , Handayani I Gusti Ayu Ketut Rachmi , Jaelani Abdul Kadir , Hayat Muhammad Jihadul
Published: April 2022

Indonesia declares itself as a country-oriented towards sustainable development. However, sustainable development goals are not clearly realized in every government policy, particularly on the environmental issue. This problem invites the important question of how Indonesia realizes or constructs public policy regarding waste problems. This paper aims to examine Indonesian public policies, both initiated by the community (informal policy) and government programs (formal policy). Based on the review of the amount of data and literature, this paper finds two arguments. First, the objectives of sustainable development are substantially stated in the Indonesian regulations. This legal policy is a government action in fulfilling citizens' rights regarding the good environment as guaranteed in the Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia. However, this formal policy has not been implemented proportionally. Second, the inefficiency of formal policy is actually patched by informal policies such as policy on personal drinking bottles, policy on the use of organic packing and shopping bags, etc. Nevertheless, in reality, the waste problem in Indonesia is far from what have been expected and still requires more sophisticated solutions both in the formal and informal sectors.

Published: April 2022

The lockdown period due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the consequent adoption of homeworking had effects also on the energy sector, by shifting electrical consumption from tertiary to residential sector. This article analyzes the electric load curves in the office and at home for a group of employees, estimating the change of the Self-Consumption (SC) and the Self-Sufficiency (SS) when PV plants are installed, during the two months of the lockdown period (2020) with respect to the previous year. This investigation can help to explore the impact of homeworking, which is now usually adopted by many employees. For this purpose, the impact of different PV sizes on SC and SS rates, and the improvements due to the adoption of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), are analyzed. Sizing the PV production equal to the annual consumption and the BESS capacity equal to the difference between the average PV production and the average consumption, the annual SC (=SS in this case) increases from 35% to 68% in households and from 50% to 71% in the office building. The lockdown restrictions increase and decrease these rates of about 5-7 points in households and office building respectively.

Authors: ARAS Çiğdem , DEMİRATA Birsen , SÖZGEN BAŞKAN Kevser
Published: April 2022

Magnesium is the sixth most abundant element, constituting 2% of the total mass of the earth's crust. It is a metal that exists only in chemical compounds, and generally exits in carbonate and oxide forms. The most important mineral forms are magnesite (MgCO3), dolomite (MgCO3.CaCO3) and carnallite (KCl.MgCl2-6H2O). Magnesium metal, which is obtained from different sources by various methods, has an important place in the industry. There are approximately 16 billion tons of dolomite and 110 million tons of magnesite reserves in Turkey. The aim of this study is to investigate the use of idle magnesium clay raw material (in Eskişehir) for the production of magnesium fluoride and thus to propose a chemical process for the relevant raw material to the industry. For the experiments, a 10 kg sample was taken and after the whole was ground to 75 µm size, XRF, XRD and DTA analyzes were performed. As a result of XRF analysis, it was determined that it contains 44.28% MgO. As a result of XRD analysis, it was determined that it is magnesite with MgCO3 structure, and also it has dolomite and chlorite group mineral structures. As a result of the experiments, MgF2 was obtained by using HF from the relevant raw material, and it was determined that the efficiency was higher in the experiments performed with raw magnesite.

Matrix Metalloproteinases (MMPs), these calcium-dependent zinc-containing endopeptidases play an important role in adipogenesis and angiogenesis by modifying tissues and degrading the extracellular matrix (ECM). Matrix glycoproteins, gelatin, collagens, proteoglycans and elastin are all found in the ECM. Current meta-analysis confirmed the lower levels of IL-6 and CRP was found following bariatric surgery. Several studies have shown correlations between E-selectin levels, BMI, and MMP-9 levels. There was also a strong link between the metalloproteinases MMP-2 and MMP-9. MMP-2 and adiponectin levels are related. MMP-9 levels, on the other hand, were modestly linked with E-selectin and HDL cholesterol levels, as previously stated. Also current observations imply that alterations in the ECM caused by MMP-mediated degradation may be crucial for the differentiation of adipocytes. The most crucial component of this is that MMPs are involved in the remodeling of tissue after gastric bypass surgery, as revealed by these markers (especially MMP-2 and MMP-9). Thus, it is tempting to assume that adipocyte derived MMPs may constitute a novel pharmaceutical target for limiting adipose tissue development through the reduction of adipocyte differentiation and angiogenesis. MMP-2 exhibits far more accurate oscillations than MMP-9 during pre- and post-surgical weight fluctuations, and hence may be used as a predictor for gastric bypass success. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a comprehensive review of the literature with an emphasis on the critical functions that MMPs have in the pathophysiology of obesity and the related diseases.

Visualizing Housewives: The Representation of Female Domesticity in Stock Imagery
Authors: ALPAY JEONG Beste
Published: April 2022

The aim of this paper is to interpret the gender representations of housewives in nine selected examples of stock images. The essay focuses on how the concept of housewives is depicted in stock photography and how socially constructed gender roles and stereotypes are materialized through it. Paul Frosh’s methodology for surveying stock images, and Erving Goffman’s theory of gender representation are used for the analysis. The essay finds essential features that communicate and commodify the happy housewife ideal. It is suggested that through the conjoint use of elements of domestic work and leisure time, the gendered position of the women is portrayed in a positive light in a way to commodify female domesticity. The use of social science approach is limited in the academic discussions of stock photography. In this study, stock images are viewed as forms of visual representation that construct the perceptions of social phenomena through the articulation of meanings. In that regard, it is stressed that they may contribute to the social construction and negotiation of gender identities and roles.

Published: April 2022

Turizm, milyonlarca insanın sürekli ve aktif olarak katıldığı çeşitli sebeplerden dolayı yapmış oldukları seyahatleri ifade etmektedir. Türkiye, özel konumu ile birçok turizm çeşidini bünyesinde barındırmakta ve insanlar için potansiyel bir destinasyon özelliği oluşturmaktadır. Mezopotamya’nın kuzeyinde yer alan Diyarbakır ili Güneydoğu Anadolu Karst Kuşağı olarak bilinen saha içerisinde yer aldığı için çözülmeye elverişli karbonatlı kayaçlar nedeniyle mağara oluşumuna oldukça elverişli bir sahadır. Araştırmamıza konu olan Bırkleyn Mağaraları Diyarbakır il merkezinin 92 km kuzeydoğusunda bulunan Lice ilçesi sınırları içerisinde yer almaktadır. Karstik oluşumların güzel bir örneğini sergileyen bu mağaralar, Dicle’nin bir kolu olan Dipni Çayı’na ev sahipliği yapmasıyla hidrografik bir öneme de sahiptir. Üç adet karstik mağara ve bir adet doğal tünelden oluşan bu mağaralar sisteminin; Arabistan levhasının Avrasya levhasına doğru kuzeye hareketi sırasında sıkışma rejimine bağlı olarak Güneydoğu Torosların Diyarbakır Havzası’na bakan yamacında oluştuğu belirtilmektedir. Ayrıca geçmişten günümüze kadar yoğun bir şekilde kullanılan bu mağaralarda Asurlar dönemine kadar uzanan hükümdar kabartmaları ve yazıtlar gibi önemli arkeolojik buluntulara da rastlanmaktadır.
Bırkleyn Mağaraları; gerek jeolojik, jeomorfolojik ve hidrografik oluşum özellikleri, gerekse de geçmiş dönemlerden kalan arkeolojik-kültürel çekiciliğiyle bölgenin turizmine katkı sağlayabilecek bir doğa harikasıdır. Bölge halkı dışında ülke genelinde az kişi tarafından bilinen bu mağaralar, çeşitli nedenlerle henüz tam anlamıyla turizme açılmamıştır. Diyarbakır-Bingöl karayolunun kenarında yer alması mağaralara kolay ulaşım avantajı sağlamaktadır. Bu sebeple Bırkleyn mağaraları; mağara turizmi, doğa yürüyüşleri, piknik ve mesire alanları gibi turistik faaliyetlere oldukça elverişli bir ortam sergilemektedir.
Araştırma yapılırken; yerinde gözlem metoduyla çalışma sahası incelenmiş, sahaya ait sayısal yükselti modelleri ve uydu görüntülerinden, ulusal ve uluslararası literatürden faydalanılmıştır. Bu çalışmada çeşitli haritaların yapımında ArcGIS yazılım programı kullanılmıştır. Bırkleyn mağaralarının oluşumu ve turizm potansiyelinin değerlendirilmesini amaç edinen bu çalışma ile elde edilmesi muhtemel sonuçlar sürdürülebilir turistik altyapı için gerekli planlamaların yapılması ve Bırkleyn mağaralarının turizm değeri kazanmasına katkı sunacaktır.
Modernlik ve Ölüm: Modern Ölüm Stratejileri Üzerine Sosyolojik Bir İnceleme
Authors: YÜKSEL Mezher
Published: April 2022

Bu çalışma ölüme dair modern açıklamayı, modern ölüm algısını ve ölüm karşısındaki modern tutumları sosyolojik açıdan tartışmayı amaçlamaktadır. Çalışmanın temel varsayımı modern dönemde ölümün sadece yaşamın sona ermesi değil aynı zamanda yok oluş ve hiçlik olarak algılandığıdır. Bunun sonucu olarak da ölüm karşısındaki hakim tutum ölümlülüğün unutturulması, toplumsal yaşamda ölümün bastırılması, gizlenmesi ve görünmez kılınması biçiminde tezahür etmektedir. İki bölümden oluşan çalışmanın ilk bölümü ölüme ve ölümlülüğe dair modern açıklamaya odaklanmaktadır. Modern açıklamada ölüm hastalık ve yaşlılık gibi nedenlere bağlı olarak meydana gelen maddi, cismani bir olay ve anatomik, fizyolojik bir olgu olarak sunulmaktadır. Ölümlülüğün kaçınılmaz bir sonucu olarak ölüm düşüncesinin yerini önlenebilir nedenlerden kaynaklanan ölüm düşüncesi almıştır. Böylece ölüm gizeminden arındırılarak akla uygun hale getirilmekte, akılcılaştırılmaktadır. Dahası ölüm bir yandan tıbbi kurumsal bir olay olarak bürokratikleştirilmiş bir yandan da bireyselleştirilmiştir. İkinci bölümde ise ölüm karşısındaki tutumlar ve ölümün toplumsal organizasyonu sosyolojik bir açıdan tartışılmaktadır. Ölümlülüğü unutturmaya ve ölümü bastırmaya dayalı hakim tutum ölüm anından, ölüm sonrası ritüellere ve pratiklere, ölümün sosyal organizasyonundan mekansal düzenlemelere, yaşlanmaya ve yaşlılara karşı tutumlara varan geniş bir yelpazede tezahür etmektedir. Bu çerçevede ölüm tıbbi kurumsal yalıtılmışlık koşullarında karşılanmakta, mezarlıklar yerleşim yerlerinin çeperlerinde konumlandırılmakta, cenaze töreni ve yas gibi ölüm sonrası pratikler geniş katılımlı, zamana yayılmış toplumsal ritüeller olmaktan çıkmakta, yaşlanmaya bağlı oluşan fiziksel deformasyon ölüme yaklaşmanın işaretleri olarak görülüp kozmetik ve estetik endüstrisi yardımı ile ortadan kaldırılmakta, ölüme yaklaştıkları varsayılan yaşlılar günlük yaşamda tecride varan dışlama ile gözden uzak tutulmaktadır.

Son yıllarda örgütsel çalışmalarda ahlaki duyguların, pozitif iş çıktıları ile ilişkisi araştırmacılar tarafından yoğun ilgi görmektedir. Bu duygu ailesi, toplum tarafından kurumsallaştırılmış ahlaki standartları desteklemeye hizmet etmekte ve örgütsel bağlamda bireylerin kendi davranışlarını, etkileşim içerisinde bulundukları kişilerin davranışlarını ve başkalarının davranışlarını değerlendirmelerine yardımcı olmaktadır. Ahlaki duygular ailesi mensubu bir duygu olan ahlaki yücelik; bireylerin ahlaki bir güzelliğe tanık olduklarında yaşadıkları duygulanımı ifade etmektedir. Mevcut yazında ahlaki yücelik kavramsallaştırmasını inceleyen çok sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu amaçla kavramın öncül, ardıl ve bağlantı mekanizmalarını keşfeden ampirik araştırmalar dikkat çekmektedir. Bu kavramsal çalışma ahlaki yücelik yazınının genel hatlarını çizecek, teorik altyapısını tanıtacak, kavramla ilintili bulguları ve değişkenleri saptayacaktır. Kavramın yerel yazına tanıtılmasının ahlaki yücelik için bir başlangıç noktası olması ve gelecek çalışmalar için de araştırmacılara yol gösterici olması beklenmektedir. Teorik araştırmalara ve pratik uygulamalara yönelik öneriler araştırmacı ve uygulayıcılara sunulmuştur.

Published: April 2022

[Purpose] This study aimed to compare the physiological tremor, grip strength, and cognitive function of sedentary and physically active older adults.[Methods] Twenty-four older adults aged ≥65 years participated in this study and were divided into the sedentary (76.5±4.4 years, n=12) and physically active (73.5±3.3 years, n=12) groups. Each group completed the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) for cognitive function assessment. Physiological tremor was measured using an accelerometer for both hands at rest and the left/right hand with a 1,000 g dumbbell on the palm in neutral positions and the elbow flexed at 90°. Physical fitness was measured by grip strength and completion of the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and the 6-min walk test.[Results] The physically active group showed a significantly lower level of physiological tremor in both hands at rest and the left/right hand with a 1,000 g dumbbell on the palm (P<0.05) than that in the sedentary group. For cognitive function, the physically active group showed significantly higher scores than those in the sedentary group (P<0.001). No significant correlation was found between cognitive function and left/right grip strength (left: r = 0.117, P = 0.585; right: r = 0.230, P = 0.279), physiological tremor in both hands at rest (left: r = -0.524, P < 0.001; right: r = -0.508, P < 0.05), and the left/right hand with a 1,000 g dumbbell on the palm (left: r = -0.505, P < 0.05; right: r = -0.458, P < 0.05).[Conclusion] Physiological tremor of the hands has the potential to be a useful predictor of cognitive function in older adults.

COVID-19 disease may become clinically apparent with some of the feautures such as fever, pneumonia or diarrhea. This diversity of symptoms brings up to mind the possibility of its presence in different parts of the body. On this aspect, examination of peritoneal fluid draws particular attention for surgeons who perform abdominal surgery for COVID-19 patients. We aimed to review literature beginning from its first outbreak (December 2019, Wuhan, China) till september 2020 to put forward relevant data spesifically investigating the presence of novel corona virus (SARS-CoV-2) in peritoneal fluid. Seven relevant articles were identified of which five of them were single-patient case reports, one report of case series, and one ongoing clinical trial. All patients presented in those studies were undertaken surgeries due to different emergent abdominal conditions. RT-PCR (Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction) analysis of peritoneal fluids were found positive for SARS-CoV-2 considering four of the case reports. The documentation of SARS-CoV-2 in peritoneal fluid spesifically is based upon few case series. Thus, further clinical researches are needed to strengthen this claim based on scientific evidences, and also to clarify the significance of this if any in era of surgical practice.

Published: April 2022

Background: Gingivitis is an inflammatory reaction that occurs in gingival tissue. Based on 2018 RISKESDAS data, gingivitis case that occurs in Indonesia reaches 13,9%. The prevalence of gingivitis in South Kalimantan is higher than Indonesia’s, that is 14,2%. The bad habit of mantaining oral health causes plaque accumulation on the marginal gingiva, which resulting in gingivitis. The said condition also affects disabled people, one of which is blind people. Tooth brushing intervention can be done in various kind. One of the recommended methods is the roll technique that effectively cleans plaque and can mantain gum health. Purpose: To analyze the effectiveness of the roll tooth-brushing technique toward the gingival health status (gingival index) of totally blind people. Methods: This research used quasi-experimental research method with non-equivalent control group design. The sampling technique was using purposive sampling with total samples were 15 people. This research was conducted in 21 days with 9 times encounter. The time span of each encounter is once in every 2 days. Gingival index examination used gingival index. The data analysis in this research was using Mann Whitney Test. Result: The Mann Whitney test result shows that p-value is 0,018, which is smaller than the alpha value that is 0,05 (p<0,05) which means that there is a difference between the case group that was given with socialization and roll brushing technique and the control group that was not given the said socialization and treatment. Conclusion: The roll tooth-brushing technique is effective for gingival health status (gingival index) of totally blind people.
