Sismik Taban İzolatörlü Yapıların Yakın ve Uzak Fay Depremleri Altındaki Davranışlarının Dalgacık Dönüşümü ile İncelenmesi
Authors: KANDEMİR Elif Çağda
Published: May 2022

Çalışmada sismik taban izolatörlü bir yapının yakın ve uzak fay depremleri etkisindeki sismik davranışları sürekli dalgacık dönüşümü yöntemi ile incelenmiştir. Toplanmış kütle-rijitlik modeli kullanılarak idealize edilmiş bina türü bir yapının, taban seviyesine kauçuk izolatör yerleştirilerek yakın ve uzak fay depremleri etkisi altında sismik tepkileri elde edilmiştir. Yakın ve uzak fay depremlerinin en önemli özelliği frekans içeriklerindeki farklılıktır. Zaman tanım alanında elde edilen yer değiştirme tepkilerine daha detaylı bir bakış açısı geliştirmek amacıyla bu tepkiler Morlet dalgacığı kullanılarak sürekli dalgacık dönüşümü ile ölçek (1/frekans)-zaman düzleminde sunulmuştur. Yer değiştirme-zaman grafiklerinden elde edilemeyen bilgiler dalgacık dönüşümlerinden elde edilmiş ve sismik tepkilerin frekans içeriklerindeki farklılıklar net olarak gözlenmiştir. Yakın-fay depremleri altında, yüksek frekans içeriklerinin daha geniş bir zaman dilimine yayıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Buna ek olarak dalgacık uyumu yöntemi ile yakın ve uzak fay depremleri etkisi altında elde edilmiş yer değiştirme tepkilerinin korelasyonu ölçülmüş ve yakın ve uzak-fay depremleri altında davranışların korelasyonlarının düşük olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır.

Authors: Ade Sitanaya George , Phoaniary Ronald , Furqani Ibrahim Dian
Published: May 2022

Aims: To describe a new method for scleral fixated intraocular lens (IOL) and to report its long-term follow-up. This study also shows the comparison of the new method with the current popular method that is four flanged scleral fixated IOL.

Method: Six patients who underwent the new method (two double flanged IOL) and 6 patients underwent four flanged scleral fixated IOL. Postoperative data was collected and recorded, such as visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber activity, sign of IOL decentration/tilting and subjective complaints from the patients. Follow-up was done for 4–8 weeks.

Result: Among the first group (two double flanged IOL) the mean visual acuity are 0.28 and 0.34 [uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA)]. The second group (four flanged IOL) the mean visual acuity are 0.29 and 0.35 (UCVA and BCVA). There is no (0%) IOL decentration of both the groups during the follow-up period. No significant anterior chamber reaction was found in both groups.

Conclusion: The two double flanged IOL can be used as alternative method for intrascleral IOL fixation. It provides good long-term stabilization, no need for specific IOL, or any hard to obtain material.
Nuclear Normalcy: A Reality Check of India’s Nuclear Non-Proliferation Record
Authors: Mahvish Malik
Published: May 2022

India’s much-hyped nuclear non-proliferation record has numerous loopholes that are usually overlooked. In the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), the Participating Governments (PGs) tend to ignore India’s nuclear proliferation activities in Europe, the Middle East, Japan and the US. In the NSG, the US-led bloc favours India and sets a discouraging precedent of a discriminatory approach and preferential treatment. Moreover, this trend highlights how a state’s influence instead of its credentials, become the deciding factors when it strives for acquiring global nuclear normalcy. Similarly, in the international nuclear non-proliferation regime, defining ‘nuclear normalcy’ is embedded in the strategic interests of powerful Nuclear Weapon States (NWS) known as P-5. This political debate on nuclear normalcy has overshadowed both legal and technical grounds for categorising any state as nuclear ‘responsible’ or ‘mainstreaming’ it in the global nuclear regime. In South Asia, nuclear normalcy is linked with the membership of NSG which is seen as a criterion to define any nuclear state as a ‘responsible nuclear state.’ In this context, this paper examines India’s claim to ‘nuclear normalcy’ and its implications for Pakistan.
China-Pakistan Economic Corridor and Dynamics of Regional Connectivity: Prospects and Challenges
Authors: A Z Hilali
Published: May 2022

Since 1950, China and Pakistan have enjoyed historic friendly relations. They helped each other during the times of need and have supported each other at various regional and international forums. Currently, they are engaged in building the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which is a component of China’s gigantic economic venture, One Belt, One Road (OBOR). Later termed as Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), it is a framework of regional connectivity to enhance geographical linkages and to improve roads, rail networks with frequent and free exchanges of growth while moving towards more optimal business by win-win model. The CPEC, being its flagship project, has the potential to bring incredible financial gains for the BRI countries. In this connection, the South Asian countries and the global community have mixed perception about the project. However, the CPEC is important for regional countries because it will bring socio-economic prosperity and technological advancement. The CPEC will offer China and Pakistan an opportunity to promote regional connectivity, trade growth and infrastructure development. Pakistan views the corridor not only as an infrastructure and economic development programme but a key initiative for the country’s economic prosperity. Nevertheless, China needs to expand its influence in the peripheral neighbourhood, consolidate its global presence and secure future supply routes of energy and trade goods; This will help Pakistan become one of the beneficiaries of the Chinese investment in the region.

Authors: Massola Gisele
Published: May 2022

Sob a ótica da perspectiva teórica dos Estudos Culturais infere-se compreensões para certas práticas que nos constituem e sobre os modos como somos capturados por sistemas de representação. Neste artigo, focalizo estratégias discursivas das quais se valem os patrocinadores/apoiadores de um complexo e prestigiado evento cultural ocorrido em solo gaúcho – a Feira do Livro de Porto Alegre/RS – forjando práticas e significados que nos constituem como pertencentes a uma determinada cultura. Para tanto, valho-me de oito peças publicitárias colocadas em circulação no Caderno da Feira do Jornal ZH. As análises empreendidas permitem afirmar que a Feira tem se configurado como um complexo negócio cultural para promover a circulação de produtos de consumo e serviços. Ainda, tem servido como um enorme outdoor que promove, publiciza e faz marketing, de forma atraente e criativa, para as logomarcas das empresas que a patrocinam/financiam tornando os investimentos em cultura um importante recurso com fins comerciais.

Published: May 2022

An attempt is made in this article about the dominion status of India in pre- independence era. The insecurity and lack of status have a disastrous effect on the whole system of the country. It was no wonder that it has been the root of all social, political and economic problems in past and present times. The primary purpose of dominion status is to develop the social, political and economic growth of the citizens within the territory of India. The dominion status of India relating to the constitution needs more viable to establish a responsible Government and vigilant society. At present we need to have a fresh look towards the dominion status of Pre-Independence India and to transform India into a harmonious, developed and federal nation. This is nothing wrong if we make a new constituent assembly to decide the present and future fate of India from its dominion status. Any changes made in past will not be destructive but constructive so far as our national unity is concerned. This article is useful for academicians, research scholars and general public.

InsurTech in insurance
Authors: Malik Sakshi , Dhall Rosy , Tomar Anjani Singh
Published: May 2022

The Indian insurance sector is characterised by the presence of information asymmetry and moral hazard. Resultantly, the adoption of InsurTech has become a necessity. While telematics, a form of InsurTech, is gaining significant impetus globally, it is still at a nascent stage in India. Against this backdrop, the present study analyses the role of Telematics in reducing information asymmetries in the Indian motor insurance sector, thereby improving the risk assessment process and ensuring that the insurance premium is reflective of the risk taken by the policyholder. The novelty of the study is that it is one of the very few studies that have explored the implementation of Telematics in the Indian context. The study is exploratory and uses a mixed-method approach by analysing the use of telematics in developed countries through document analysis followed by semi-structured interviews with Indian vehicle owners and industry experts. The study highlights that Telematics devices can assist companies in reducing information asymmetries and enable precise ascertainment of insurance premiums based on factors such as driving habits, distance travelled, and driving patterns of the policyholders.
Beneficial effects of ascorbic acid and calcium in fluoride induced changesin some biochemical parameters in testes of Swiss Albino Mice
Authors: Sharma Jyoti , Ranga Anita
Published: May 2022

The present investigation was undertaken to elucidate the effects of sodium fluoride on mice  understanding the mechanism of fluoride action on metabolism of testis through sequential biochemical changes in level of different parameters and its reversibility by ascorbic acid or calcium and combined effects of both ascorbic and calcium. The healthy, adult Swiss albino mice (Mus musculus) were divided into two equal groups. Group I (fed on standard diet), Group IIA (NaF 5ppm and 50ppm), Group IIB (withdrawal of treatment), Group II C Recovery was also observed in with simultaneously administration of A.A +Ca respectively. Animals from each group were autopsied by cervical dislocation at each post treatment intervals of 10, 20, and 30 days. The changes in the biochemical parameters were dose and duration dependent. Total protein, acid phosphatase, ascorbic acid DNA and RNA decreased while, alkaline phosphatase, showed an increase in all experimental groups. Whereas after the cessation of the treatment recovery was observed and it was more pronounced with ascorbic acid+ calcium. The experimental findings indicate that both testicular protein and DNA synthesis decreased suggesting that fluoride in some way interfere with the RNA metabolism and consequently interfere with the synthesis of specific testicular enzymes etc.

Published: May 2022

The  purpose  of  the study. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted sporting events, which led to the cancellation of games and student-athletes being isolated at home and conducting their training online. The study looked at how student-athletes view themselves and their levels of optimism before and during the pandemic.
Materials and methods. The study is a descriptive quantitative research that adapted the constructs of the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS) and Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R). Slovin’s formula and stratified random sampling were used to select the respondents. Google Form was used to gather data on the 154 UST-IPEA student-athletes. For data analysis, Microsoft Data Analysis ToolPak was used as statistical software.
Results. The results show that the factors of Level of Optimism, namely: Gender, Typology of Sports, and Competitive Level, do not affect the student-athletes Level of Optimism before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, the factors of Athletic Identity, namely: Gender, Year Level, and Socioeconomic Status, do not affect the student-athletes’ Athletic Identity before the COVID-19 pandemic. However, one factor that affects the student-athletes’ Athletic Identity during the COVID-19 pandemic is the Typology of Sports. To sum up, the Athletic Identity and Level of Optimism possess a weak correlation.
Conclusions. . Based on the results of the study, it is concluded to regularly monitor the student-athletes’ Athletic Identity and Level of Optimism by taking the Athletic Identity Measurement Scale (AIMS) by Brewer & Cornelius (2001) and Revised Life Orientation Test (LOT-R)).
O mar como um Outro Espaço nas fraseologias portuguesa e croata
Authors: Lanović Nina
Published: May 2022

Based on a more comprehensive study dedicated to presenting the concept of the SEA in Portuguese and Croatian phraseology, in this work we focus on the aspect pointing to the conceptualization of the SEA as Other Space (otherness, «non-self»). The analysis of the semantic-conceptual structure of phraseological units (idioms and proverbs with figurative meaning) with constituents from the sea semantic sphere revealed that the motivation of the subgroup’s idiomatic meaning is based on some kind of «cultural» or «secondary» experience (and not physical-perceptive) of space, implying a considerable influence of «folk theories», which in principle are subjective. In this case the SEA, at the conceptual level, represents a space that, in relation to the subject, is «exterior», alien, unnatural, inadequate, where the subject «does not exist». We propose to identify the most relevant metaphorical structures for such conceptualisation, as well as the specific mappings that motivate meanings of units in our corpus.

Indígenas centroamericanos, Hispanos/ latinos en Norteamérica: una peculiar experiencia (trans) nacional/local
Authors: Parra Carlos
Published: May 2022

Las comunidades indígenas transnacionales provenientes de las Américas, específicamente de Centroamérica, se encuentran desplazadas y dispersas en una variedad de ubicaciones geográficas en Norteamérica. Estas comunidades en su esfuerzo por sobrevivir y desarrollarse, a la vez de mantener una identidad étnica, se ven forzadas a abandonar lugares ancestrales comunes del triángulo norte de Centroamérica para plantar raíces en ubicaciones geográficas norteamericanas que podríamos llamar espacios híbridos. Sin embargo, mientras algunas de estas comunidades se sienten temporal y relativamente seguras en tales espacios híbridos, la verdad es que probablemente no sean aceptadas por una sociedad que reclama el derecho de espacio y lugar en Norteamérica y para quienes la continua llegada de tales comunidades representa una verdadera crisis, un desafio a asumidos valores nacionales (Trump 2016) y una amenaza a la percibida noción general de identidad nacional (Huntington 2004). Por supuesto, una tensión socioeconómica general es el resultado de tal encuentro, que no solamente aumenta exponencialmente la complejidad de interacción entre comunidades locales sino que también erróneamente afecta la percepción de una imposible integración socioeconómica. Tal integración, seguramente beneficiaría a la mayoría de comunidades que se ubican dentro de ese percibido espacio de estado nacional moderno que son los EEUU y Canadá. El desmantelamiento del mito de imposible integración como la causa de un desmoronamiento nacional y el análisis de la errónea inclusión de estas comunidades indígenas bajo la asumida categoría de Hispanos/ Latinos en Norteamérica, es el tema de este articulo.

Animal Agriculture is the Leading Cause of Climate Change . A Position Paper
Authors: Rao Sailesh
Published: May 2022

In this paper, we present the results of a Global Sensitivity Analysis (GSA) proving that Animal Agriculture is the leading cause of climate change, responsible for 87% of greenhouse gas emissions. The burning of fossil fuels is currently the leading source of human-made carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. However, climate change is caused by cumulative human-made greenhouse gas and aerosol emissions and not just current CO2 emissions alone. While humans have been burning fossil fuels for a little over 200 years, we have been burning down forests for Animal Agriculture for well over 8,000 years! For the GSA analysis, we use factual data from the Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and other peer-reviewed scientific sources. We show that we need to transition to a global plantbased economy first and that blindly eliminating fossil fuel usage first will accelerate the warming of the planet. We show that the annual methane emissions from Animal Agriculture alone causes more incremental global warming than the annual CO2 emissions from all fossil fuel sources combined. We further show that the transition to a global plant-based economy has the potential to sequester over 2000 Giga tons (Gt) of CO2 in regenerating soils and vegetation, returning atmospheric greenhouse gas levels to the safe zone of under 350 parts per million (ppm) of CO2 equivalent, while restoring the biodiversity of the planet and healing its climate. This paper clearly illustrates why the scientific community, government institutions, corporations and news media, who vastly underestimate the role of Animal Agriculture and focus primarily on reducing fossil fuel use, need to urgently change their priorities in order to be effective.

Dünya ülkeleri diğer ülkelerle etkileşimlerini artırmak ve kendi dillerini, kültürlerini uluslararası mecraya taşımak amacıyla çeşitli kültürel faaliyetlerde bulunmaktadırlar. Bu faaliyetler kapsamında dünyanın farklı ülkelerinde enstitüler açmakta, üniversitelerde kendi dil ve kültürleriyle ilgili bölümler açmakta ve bunların yanı sıra çeşitli kültürel faaliyetlerde bulunmaktadır. Dünya ülkelerinin yürüttüğü bu faaliyetler kültürel diplomasi olarak adlandırılmaktadır.

Kültürel diplomasi ise duyguların, düşüncelerin, geleneklerin, göreneklerin ve kültürlerin karşılıklı olarak paylaşımıdır. Kültürel diplomasi, ilgili ülkenin kültürünün daha etkin bir şekilde tanıtılmasına, ilgili ülkenin dilinin uluslararası mecraya taşınmasına, ilgili ülkenin diğer ülkelerle çeşitli alanlarda iş birliği yapmasına katkı sağlar. Bu kapsamdaki faaliyetlere öğrencilerin burslandırılması, öğrenci değişim programları, kültür merkezleri, konferanslar, konserler, fuarlar, sergiler, ülke tanıtım etkinlikleri örnek olarak verilebilir.

Türkiye’de kültürel diplomasi faaliyetleri 1990’lı yıllardan itibaren hız kazanmaya başlamış ve 2000’li yıllardan itibaren büyük bir ivme kazanmıştır. Türkiye, dünya ülkeleriyle kültür merkezleri, eğitim kurumları, yatırımlar, yardımlar ve kültürel faaliyetler, burslar aracılığıyla etkin bir kültürel diplomasi yürütmektedir. Bu kapsamda yürütülen uluslararası öğrencilerin burslandırılması faaliyetinde Yurtdışı Türkler ve Akraba Toplulukları Başkanlığı önemli bir rol üstlenmektedir.

Bu çalışmada ise Yurtdışı Türkler ve Akraba Toplulukları Başkanlığı’nın uluslararası öğrencilerin burslandırılması kapsamında yürüttüğü faaliyetler ele alınacak ve bu faaliyetlerin daha etkin bir şekilde sürdürülmesi için önerilerde bulunulacaktır.
Application of Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies (STROBE) Statement Guideline in Nursing Studies: Analytical Review
Authors: Alkhaqani Ahmed Lateef
Published: May 2022

Background: Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines were created to aid the author in ensuring a high-quality presentation of the conducted observational study. Objective: Applying the STROBE statement guideline checklist to evaluate the quality of nursing studies and observational reporting. Methods: Analytical review of literature based on previous studies and reviews derived from Scopus, PubMed, and Medline databases concerning STROBE statement guidelines. The data collection was conducted from December 2020 to April 2021. These studies were collected and filtered according to the specific criteria and used keywords such as STROBE, nursing studies, evidence-based nursing practice, cohort studies, case-control studies, cross-sectional and observational studies, as well as articles from the National Library of Medicine. Results: Few papers have been published that demonstrate an appreciation of STROBE, but their descriptive features do not seem appropriate for nursing publications. In comparison to STROBE, relatively few papers mentioned primary sources or other information regarding the selection process for study participants and the observation time frame. Conclusion: Despite the widespread availability of reporting guidelines in both medical and nursing fields, many researchers do not follow them.

Eixo Temático: Biotecnologia Introdução:A terapia fotodinâmica mostra um potente efeito microbicida na presença de um corante fotossensibilizador associado a uma fonte de luz em um comprimento de onda específico. O corante fotossensibilizador acumula-se no microorganismo, onde vai absorver fótons da fonte de luz com energia suficiente para ficarem em seu estado excitado eletrônico, e então poderem reagir com um substrato local para formar radicais citotóxicos ou reagir diretamente com o oxigênio molecular para produzir oxigênio singleto e espécies reativas de oxigênio. Estes radicais livres causam danos celulares e a morte do microorganismo. Portanto, a inativação fotodinâmica é um método alternativo promissor para o tratamento de doenças infecciosas. Objetivo(s): O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar os efeitos de inativação fotodinâmica em Staphylococcus aureus usando o corante azul de Taylor (DMMB) associado ao LED vermelho (λ 630 ηm ± 10 ηm, CW, 125 mW, 12 J/cm ², 192 s). Métodos: Foram realizados quatro grupos experimentais, Controle, LED, DMMB, DMMB + LED, após a realização da terapia fotodinâmica as amostras foram incubadas por 24 horas e o número de bactérias sobreviventes de cada tratamento foi determinado por contagem das unidades formadoras de colônia (UFC/mL). O logaritmo (UFC/mL log) foi calculado. Todas as experiências foram realizadas em triplicata. As análises estatísticas foram realizadas utilizando-se o software GraphPad Prism (versão 6.0) e analisados por meio de testes ANOVA unidirecional, comparações múltiplas de Tukey e regressão não linear. Os valores de p<0,05 foram considerados estatisticamente significantes. Resultados: De acordo com os resultados, no grupo LED, onde a fonte de luz foi utilizada isoladamente, é demonstrado um aumento significativo (p=0,0001) na carga microbiana d e S aureus quando comparado ao grupo Controle. A ação do fotossensibilizador utilizado sozinho, no grupo DMMB não foi capaz de demonstrar redução significante da população de S aureus quando comparado ao grupo Controle, porém quando o DMMB é associado ao LED, no grupo da inativação fotodinâmica (DMMB + LED) é observado uma redução significativa da carga microbiana (p<0,0001) quando comparado ao grupo Controle, com uma redução percentual de 99,97%. Conclusão: Em conclusão, estes resultados demonstraram que a inativação fotodinâmica fornece uma opção terapêutica alternativa para combater infecções estafilocócicas. Ressalta-se ainda que o protocolo utilizado na presente pesquisa foi de uma única aplicação, sendo possível repeti-la alcançando resultados ainda melhores na redução da carga microbiana.

Adhesive capsulitis is frequently recognized as ‘Frozen Shoulder’, which is characterized by primarily painful joint range of motions and later progressively restricted range of motion of the glenohumeral joint. Other common names used for adhesive capsulitis includes ‘Periarthritis and Painful stiff shoulder’ and ‘Shoulder arthrofibrosis’. Objective: To compare the effects of scapular proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation and Myofascial release techniques on pain and function in scapular dyskinesia associated with adhesive capsulitis. Methods: Quasi Experimental study was conducted on 34 patients of Scapular dyskinesia associated with Adhesive Capsulitis. Subjects were allocated to either to PNF technique group and Myofascial release technique groups. Both were treated for 12 sessions in 6 weeks. NPRS and SPADI scale were used to evaluate the treatment effects at baseline, 2 weeks, 4 weeks and 6 weeks. Results: The mean age of Group A was 43.12± 5.25. The mean age of Group B was 43.0±5.95. There was a significant difference between the mean value of baseline, 2 weeks, 4 week and 6-week NPRS score and baseline, 2-week, 4 week and 6-week SPADI score with P value <0.05 in both study groups. There was more significant mean difference of 6.23 between baseline and week 6 NPRS in Group A but there was less significant mean difference of 4.00 between baseline and week 6 NPRS in Group B. There was more significant mean difference of 70.70 between baseline and week 6 SPADI in Group A but there was less significant mean difference of 46.17 between baseline and week 6 SPADI in Group B. Conclusions: The study concluded that PNF technique and Myofascial release techniques were led to significant difference in NPRS and SPADI score, but PNF technique had shown more significant results than myofascial release technique to improve pain and function in scapular dyskinesia associated with Adhesive capsulitis.
