Published: June 2024

Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the role of psychological variables in medication adherence in OCD.
Methods: This descriptive and correlational study was carried out at Tehran Institute of Psychiatry in Tehran. The statistical population of the present study includes all OCD patients referred to the Tehran Institute of Psychiatry. The participants were selected by available sampling method. The patients completed the demographic questionnaire, Yale Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder Scale-Second Edition (Y-BOCS-II), Vancouver Obsessional Compulsive Inventory (VOCI), Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS), Drug Attitude Questionnaire (DAI-10), Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Special Support (MSPSS), Coping strategies scale of Lazarus and Folkman (WOCQ), and Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) was used to analyze the data.
Results: The variable of education status (r=0.18) had a positive relationship and the variable of hospitalization history (r=-0.26) had a negative relationship with medication adherence. Medication adherence is only negatively associated with obsessive thoughts (r=- 0.18, r=-0.20). Duration of drug use (r=0.27), attitude to treatment (r=0.25) and social support (r=0.54) had a positive relationship with medication adherence. Among the various dimensions of temperament and character, four dimensions of harm avoidance (r=-0.29), reward dependence (r=-0.44), persistence (r=-0.20) and self-transcendence (r=0.32) had a significant correlation with medication adherence. Variables of social support, reward dependence, persistence, harm avoidance and education status had the highest regression effect on medication adherence.
Conclusion: Medication adherence is one of the behaviors that predicts successful treatment and reduces the negative side effects and severity of the OCD.

Authors: Zadehmir Mohadeseh , Mashhadi Amin , Jahed Behnaz
Published: June 2024

Background: Breast cancer is the most common female cancer and the second leading cause of death worldwide. The gold standard tool for screening breast cancer, mammography has limitations in some instances, such as patients with dense breast tissue. This study evaluates the correlation of Ultrasound (US) to mammography in breast lesions in BI-RADS.
Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary hospital during 2019-2021. Women who referred to the radiology department for mammography with abnormalities appearing in their mammograms, with a minimum age of 40 and older, underwent ultrasonography. The results of mammography and US evaluations compared according to BI-RADS category. Statistical software SPSS was used to analyze the form data.
Results: In this study, 156 women with a mean age of 48/9 years registered. The US reports were equivalent to mammographic BI-RADS category 2 in 23 cases. All the 26 patients with mammographic BI-RADS category were categorized into BI-RADS 2 by US. Among 43 lesions with BI-RADS category 4 and 21 with BI-RADS category 5, 90/6% and 95/2% of sonography reports were similar to mammography findings. Based on the Pearson correlation coefficient of 0/68, there is a correlation between the results of US and mammography in this study.
Conclusion: This study reveals that US can be an excellent complement to mammography, particularly in identifying early-stage breast cancer in mammographic BI-RADS category 0 lesions. The mammographic-sonographic correlation should lead to more accurate diagnoses and better patient care.

Published: June 2024

Background: The study of the angles between the vertebrae and the curvatures of the spine plays an important role in the pathogenesis of spinal disorders. The nature of the cervical region makes it susceptible to various cervical disorders, many of which can be caused by imbalanced alignment.
Methods: In the present study, patients with chronic neck pain were compared with the normal population for cervical indexes.
Results: One hundred subjects were selected, including 57 males (57%) and 43 females (43%). Neck tilting was significantly lower in the case group than control (41.5 vs. 45.8) (p=0.01). The mean of C0-C2 angle did not differ between groups (p=0.503), however, a significant increase was found for C2-C7 and C0-C7 angles (p=0.012) and (p=0.05), respectively. Further analysis revealed that cranial offset (21.9 vs. 8.6) and cranial tilting (21.3 vs. 10.1) significantly increased in patients with chronic neck pain (p<0.001) and (p=0.004), respectively. Also, cervical Sagittal Vertical Axis (SVA) has shown a significant increase in patients than control (24.8 vs. 9.7) (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The data have indicated that cervical indexes. Thus, spine surgeons should obtain standing cervical radiographs and evaluate the relationship between T1 slope, Spino Cranial Angle (SCA), and cSVA in all cases affected by cervical pathogenesis, even without obvious deformity.

Published: June 2024

Background: In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on exploring the influence of spirituality/religion on the management of mental health disorders. The aim of this study was to investigate the viewpoints of Iranian patients with mental health disorders regarding the incorporation of spirituality into their assessment.
Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021 at Iran University of Medical Sciences. Initially, a questionnaire was developed based on key spiritual concepts identified from a literature review. The content and face validity of the questionnaire were evaluated by an expert panel, and its reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. Data collection was carried out in the second phase, with the questionnaire consisting of 4 questions examining the patients’ perceived need and willingness for their therapist to explore their spiritual and religious dimensions. Data analysis was performed using appropriate statistical tests.
Results: The questionnaire’s validity was confirmed, and its reliability was demonstrated with a Cronbach’s alpha value of 0.79. A total of 368 patients participated in the study. No significant associations were observed between the participants’ educational level, diagnosis type, gender, and the questionnaire scores. Approximately half of the patients with mental health disorders expressed a desire to incorporate spiritual assessments into their psychological evaluations, with most welcoming this integration.
Conclusion: The findings of this study suggest that despite challenges and barriers, efforts should be made to integrate spiritual dimensions into the treatment of patients.

Authors: Sheykhhosseini Fatemeh , Gilasi Hamid Reza , Jafarnejad Sadegh
Published: June 2024

Background: Phytochemical-rich foods have anti-inflammatory effects and play a role in the prevention and control of inflammatory diseases such as Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Although some aspects of a diet high in phytochemicals promoting health and preventing chronic diseases are known, further studies are required to confirm the previous findings.
Methods: This cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between Dietary Phytochemical Index (DPI) and fatigue severity in patients with MS. A total of 240 patients aged 18 to 65 years were selected from the MS Association center of Golestan province. A valid and reliable food frequency questionnaire was used to evaluate the diet, and fatigue severity was assessed using the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) questionnaire. DPI was calculated using the formula [daily energy from foods rich in phytochemicals (kcal) divided by total daily energy intake (kcal)] and was calculated as 100.
Results: After controlling for potential confounding factors, the highest tertile of DPI had a lower prevalence of fatigue symptoms (odds ratio (OR: 0.27; 95%CI: 0.03-0.36; p=0.012) compared to those in the lowest tertile. The average age of the study participants was 31.9±7.7 years, and the fatigue score scale among the participants was 39.31±11.62.
Conclusion: In conclusion, a significant inverse relationship between DPI and fatigue severity was observed in patients with MS. Further prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Authors: Gheshlaghi Farzad , Dorooshi Gholamali , Samsam-Shariat Shiva , Eizadi-Mood Nastaran , Etemad Leila , Pirmoradian Pedram , Moshiri Mohammad
Published: June 2024

Background: Poisoning with Organophosphates (OP) and/or Pyrethroids (PYR) pesticides is common. We present a rare case of OP+PYR poisoned patient who suffered from Atrial Fibrillation (AF) at the beginning of treatment by a low dose of atropine and reviewed the literature.
Case Presentation: A 50-year-old man had ingested about 5-10 ml of a mixture of chlorpyrifos/cypermethrin.  Half an hour later, he went to the rural hospital and 2 hr later, after gastrointestinal decontamination, he was referred to the clinical toxicology department with normal vital signs except normal sinus tachycardia [Heart rate (HR)]=105. On admission, he had nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mild sialorrhea, symmetric mid-size pupils, wet skin, and bilateral moist rales in his lungs. His cardiac rhythm changed to rapid AF (HR >140 beats/min) after treatment with 3 mg midazolam followed by 0.3 mg of atropine (0.1 mg every 1-3 min). Atropine administration was discontinued and he was treated with 0.5 mg of digoxin. 6 hr later, his arrhythmia disappeared and all cardiac and laboratory evaluations changed to normal except reduced serum cholinesterase activity. 
Conclusion: AF may be induced by Organophosphates (OP) and Pyrethroids (PYR) intoxication or during the treatment by atropine. We could not find any known risk factor (cardiac or medical issues) for AF in the current case. It may be suggested that poisoning with OP, PYR (alone or mixed) or atropine (in general or in low dose), or combination is the trigger of AF. However, AF is not life threating and can easily cure by antiarrhythmic therapy.

This article discusses the problems associated with the use of information technology in the registration of inheritance cases by a notary. One of the common grounds for the emergence of hereditary rights of citizens is a will. Notaries, like any other specialists in the modern world, use information and communication technologies. The result of the use of these information tools is the drafting of a will through the use of audio, video digital and other equipment. The idea of developing a unifi ed state website for electronic wills is currently becoming important due to the development of digital technologies in the notary offi ce, which will affect the law enforcement practice of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.The authors of the article focus their attention on the expediency of securing at the legislative level the possibility of using digital technologies in making a will.

Published: June 2024

Background: Antibiotic resistance raised interest in probiotics, prebiotics and synbiotics as alternatives for improving gut health in chickens. This feeding trial aims to assess the effectiveness of a synbiotic formulation with phytoactives (SFP). Methods: On the first day of the trial, 160 Cobb 430Y one-day-old chicks were procured from a hatchery and split into groupings: G1, G2, G3 and G4. Each group comprised four replicates of 10 birds. G1 was raised with no antibiotics growth promoter (AGPs) on typical commercial feed. While G2, G3 and G4 were reared on standard commercial feed, they were also given supplements of competitor product I (CP-I) at a rate of 500 g/ton, competitor product II (CP-II) at a rate of 100 g/ton and SFP at a rate of 150 g/ton, respectively. Result: Dietary SFP supplementation at 150 g/ton improves nutrient absorption, digestion, growth performance, feed efficiency, immunity and overall wellbeing, increasing poultry safety and recommended as an alternative to AGP in commercial broiler production.

Authors: Solonkin Andrey Valerevich , Sukhareva Elena Petrovna , Belikina Anna Vasilievna
Published: June 2024

Background: Safflower is an oilseed crop capable of forming seeds in extreme conditions, so it can be used as an alternative to sunflower, because their growing technologies are similar. Increasing the yield of safflower seeds can be achieved intensively using agrochemicals. The proposed research results provide information on the use of mineral, micro fertilizers and growth regulators. Methods: Research was carried out in the dry steppe zone of chestnut soils. In the spirit-factor experiment, which was located on a field with an area of 300 m2, in triplicate, using two sorts of safflower. Mineral fertilizers were applied to the soil during sowing and by foliar treatment during the “budding” phase. The obtained yield results were processed by analysis of variance. Result: As a result of the research, elite safflower seeds were obtained using one of the experimental options Ultamag Bor 30 g + Biostim Growth 30 g/10 liters of water of the Alexandrite variety with a yield of 1.8 t/ha with the highest profitability of their production of 414.2%. Analysis of variance of the yield data from the experiment showed that 87% of the yield of safflower seeds depended on the use of mineral fertilizers, 0.62% on the plant variety and agro technical measures for growing safflower plants-11.8%.

Authors:   IAGBT, Clarissa M. Pesigan Clarissa M. Pesigan , Gerard B. Remijn Gerard B. Remijn
Published: June 2024

Purpose - The purpose of the present study is to explore and compare manual and technology-assisted systems and related warehouse order-picking operations through the lens of human factors.
Design/Methodology/Approach - Theoretical analyses and an empirical study were performed. First, we conducted a literature review on human factors in order-picking planning to identify common research themes. Then, we explored order-picker perspectives (n=113) via survey.
Findings - Results highlighted the similarities between manual and technology-assisted warehouse orderpicking systems in terms of physical demand, work hours, and the incidence of errors. Physical demand was largely contributed to by traveling and lifting tasks, and was further intensified by extended work hours. Despite the use of technology, technology-assisted systems registered a higher percentage of errors attributed to individual factors (44% vs 31%), specifically related to boredom and loss of attention. Additional insights from pickers were in agreement with literature findings that technological and organizational factors significantly contribute to the attainment of worker productivity and well-being.
Research Implications - This study contributes to the stream of order-picking and warehouse-operations literature by obtaining essential human-factors insights directly from the principal actors. The study gained worker perspectives that might provide practitioners with initiatives that could increase worker well-being and productivity. In addition, researchers could also tap research directions aligning academic study with practical relevance.

Published: June 2024

Water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes, is an invasive aquatic weed that covers major water bodies in Nepal, and its silage has great potential to be used as ruminant’s feed. An experiment was conducted with an aim to explore its ensiling attributes along with palatability test for cattle was conducted at Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science, Rupandehi in a completely randomized experimental design with three replications. The quality and palatability of water hyacinth silage prepared with additives such as rice straw, molasses, wheat flour, and rice bran were assessed. The treatments included: water hyacinth with rice straw(T1); water hyacinth with rice straw and rice bran(T2); water hyacinth with rice straw and wheat flour(T3); water hyacinth with rice straw and molasses(T4); water hyacinth with rice straw, wheat flour and molasses(T5); water hyacinth with rice straw, wheat flour and rice bran(T6) and water hyacinth with rice straw, wheat flour, molasses and rice bran(T7). The results showed, crude protein (CP), crude fiber (CF), ether extract (EE), total ash (TA), pH, and palatability had significant differences across all treatments (p<0.05). CP (15.13) and CF (23.73) were found to be highest under control whereas rice straw, wheat flour and rice bran had the highest EE (12.74), TA (15.13), pH (3.87), palatability (100%), and considerably high CP (12.40) and CF (19.75). Hence, silage of water hyacinth with rice straw, wheat flour, and rice bran has high nutrient content, palatability and can be used as a feed alternative to solve the problem of feed scarcity.
Industrial policy and diversification in the economic development of Kazakhstan
Authors: Yeo Heejae , Mah Jai S
Published: June 2024

This paper explains the role of industrial policy and diversification in Kazakhstan. The oil and gas sector has led Kazakhstan’s economic growth. Kazakhstan’s economic growth rate has been mediocre compared with its neighbouring countries. The government pursued market-based reform, privatization, and diversification. Although it has emphasized developing agriculture and manufacturing, development in sectors other than oil and gas has not been apparent. The dominance of the extractive sector suggests the existence of the Dutch disease. After explaining industrial policy measures, this paper evaluates the role of government policy and provides policy implications for developing countries. Although the government has tried to diversify from a heavy reliance on the oil and gas sector to the agricultural and manufacturing sectors, the diversification strategy has been unsuccessful overall. Kazakhstan’s government must pay more attention to improving human capital and raising R&D expenditure. Active government policy is needed to diversify FDI inflows by sector. The government must clarify the objective of SME promotion and fiscal incentives must be finely targeted, considering industrial policy objectives. Clusters must be closely related to the overall direction of the industrial policy. The government must establish other infrastructure that may attract foreign investors to value-added industries.

APROPRIAÇÃO TECNOLÓGICA E CULTURA DIGITAL: usos na/da internet
Authors: Mafra da Silva Andréa Villela
Published: June 2024

O objeto de análise é a linguagem memética nas redes sociais na internet como meio de apropriação tecnológica e de cultura de compartilhamento de mensagens. Utilizo como referencial teórico e metodológico a análise crítica do discurso formulada por Norman Fairclough (1989, 1992, 2001). Concluo que os memes podem se constituir num instrumento de mediação cultural e de análise crítica da política brasileira e também como um recurso que não deve ser desvinculado das práticas educativas nas instituições escolares.

ABSTRACT
The object of analysis is the memetic language in social networks on the Internet as a means of technological appropriation and a culture of message sharing. I use as theoretical and methodological reference the critical analysis of the discourse formulated by Norman Fairclough (1989, 1992, 2001). I conclude that memes can be an instrument of cultural mediation and critical analysis of Brazilian politics and also as a resource that should not be dissociated from educational practices in school institutions.

RESUMEN
El objeto de análisis es el lenguaje memético en las redes sociales en Internet como medio de apropiación tecnológica y de cultura de compartir mensajes. Utilizo como referencial teórico y metodológico el análisis crítico del discurso formulado por Norman Fairclough (1989, 1992, 2001).

Çamlık Hanedanından Bir Osmanlı Bürokratı: Âbidin Paşa ve Güney Arnavutluk Sorunu [1877-1879]
Authors: Oruç Doğukan
Published: June 2024

Âbidin Paşa, 1877’den 1879’a değin Güney Arnavutluk siyasetinde, özellikle de 1877-1878 Osmanlı-Rus Savaşı sırasında Yanya’da kurulan olağanüstü bir komisyonun riyasetini yürütürken, önemli bir rol oynadı. Âbidin Paşa bu komisyonun reisi olarak Güney Arnavutluk’un ileri gelen isimlerinden oluşan bir topluluğu yönetti ve bölgedeki Arnavut ahaliyi Yunan yayılmacılığı tehdidine karşı bilinçlendirmek için gayret gösterdi. Paşa, riyaset görevinden ayrıldıktan sonra memleketi Preveze’de kurulan Arnavut Cemiyeti’nin önde gelen liderlerinden biri oldu. Bu cemiyet Yanya, Preveze ve Narda’nın Yunanistan’a bağlanmasının önüne geçmeyi amaçlayan bir dizi çok önemli toplantının tertip edilmesine aracı oldu. Bu çalışma, Âbidin Paşa’nın 1877-1879 yılları arasında Güney Arnavutluk bölgesini Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nun sınırları dahilinde tutmayı amaçlayan hareketlerle ilişkisine odaklanmaktadır. Âbidin Paşa’nın Arnavut kimliğinin meslekî kariyerini ne şekilde etkilediğini vurgulayarak onun bu kritik dönemdeki faaliyetlerini incelemektedir. Makale, Âbidin Paşa’nın bu dönemdeki tarihsel rolüne ışık tutmayı ve konunun Arnavutluk ve Osmanlı tarihlerinin daha geniş bağlamı içerisinde arz ettiği önemin altını çizerek bu konuda yapılacak araştırmaları teşvik etmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Remorins are multifunctional proteins, regulating immunity, development and symbiosis in plants. When associating to the membrane, remorins sequester specific lipids into functional membrane nanodomains. The multigenic protein family contains six groups, classified upon their protein-domain composition. Membrane targeting of remorins occurs independently from the secretory pathway. Instead, they are directed into different nanodomains depending on their phylogenetic group. All family members contain a C-terminal membrane anchor and a homo-oligomerization domain, flanked by an intrinsically disordered region of variable length at the N-terminal end. We here combined molecular imaging, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy, protein structure calculations and advanced molecular dynamics simulation to unveil a stable pre-structuration of coiled-coil dimers as tunable nanodomain-targeting units, containing a tunable fuzzy coat and a bar code-like positive surface charge before membrane association. These protein characteristics and the differences in structures and dynamics between C-terminal lipid anchors of the remorin groups provide a selective platform for phospholipid binding when encountering the membrane surface. Our data suggest that remorins fold in the cytosol with the N-terminal disordered region as a fuzzy structural ensemble around a dimeric anti-parallel coiled-coil core containing a symmetric interface motif reminiscent of a hydrophobic Leucine zipper. The charge distribution, the intrinsic curvature in dimeric coiled-coil remorins, and their domain geometry would confer distinctive membrane association profiles. The lipid-binding of the C-terminal creates avidity through multivalent electrostatic interactions between anionic lipid headgroups and the positively charged dimer surface suggesting a clip-and-divide mechanism to selectively segregate lipid-protein nanodomains.
