Bu çalışmada Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nin Dicle Bölümü’nde yer alan Siirt ilinde nüfusun ve yerleşmelerin yükselti kademelerine göre nasıl bir dağılış gösterdiği incelenmiştir. Siirt ili topoğrafya özellikleri bakımından kısa mesafelerde büyük farklılıklar göstermektedir. Siirt ilinin yerleşme ve nüfus özelliklerine bakıldığında topoğrafik yapıya uygun bir çeşitliliğe sahip olduğu ve nüfusun oldukça dengesiz bir şekilde dağılış gösterdiği anlaşılmıştır. Cumhuriyet döneminden günümüze kadar Siirt ilinde nüfus artışı değişkenlik göstermiş olup, nüfusun bazen belirgin bir şekilde arttığı bazen de keskin düşüşler yaşadığı gözlemlenmiştir. Bu durumun en önemli sebepleri arasında yerleşmelerin yapısal özelliklerinin farklılaşması, göçler ve ilin idari taksimatında meydana gelen değişimler yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada Coğrafi Bilgi Sistemleri (CBS) kullanılarak Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu’nun (TUİK) 2021 yılına ait nüfus verileri ışığında yerleşmelerin yükselti basamaklarına göre nasıl bir dağılış gösterdiği ele alınıp sınıflandırılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler neticesinde Siirt ilinde yerleşmelerin genellikle yükseltinin az olduğu sahalarda yoğunlaştığı anlaşılmıştır. Ayrıca sahada hem yerleşme sayısı hem de nüfus miktarı bakımından 410 ila 1250 metre yükselti basamakları arasında bir kümelenme gözlenmiştir. Öte yandan Siirt ilinde 2000 metrenin üstündeki alanlarda yerleşme sayısı ve nüfus miktarında kayda değer bir düşüş görülmektedir. Bunun yanında sahada bazı yerleşimlerin, coğrafi koşulların oluşturduğu dezavantaja rağmen engebeli ve yüksek kesimlerde konumlandığı sonucuna varılmıştır. Sonuç olarak Siirt ilinde nüfus ve yerleşme bakımından farklılıkların oluşmasında iklim, topoğrafya, ziraat ve hayvancılık faaliyetlerinin oldukça etkili olduğu anlaşılmaktadır.

Authors: Neeshu Neeshu , Kashyap Sudarshan
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Epistaxis is the most common otorhinolaryngological emergency. Whether there is an association relationship between epistaxis and hypertension is a subject of longstanding controversy. Objective: The aim of our study is to evaluate the relationship between epistaxis and hypertension. Materials and methods: This study was conducted at,U.P  during the period between June 2016 and January 2017. A total of 40 patients were divided into two groups: Group A consisted of 20 patients who presented with epistaxis, and Group B consisted of 20 patients who served as a control group. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) was performed for all patients. Patients were followed up for a period of two months. Results: Readings of blood pressure (BP) were similar between the two groups regarding BP at presentation, ABPM, and BP at two months. There was a higher number of attacks in patients with history of hypertension. There was highly significant positive correlation between number of attacks of epistaxis and BP readings. Systolic BP at presentation was higher in patients who needed more complex interventions such as pack or cautery than those managed by first aid. Conclusion: We found no definite association between epistaxis and hypertension.

Authors: GARCIA Gabriella Barbosa , AGUIAR Gabriella Belotti de , DANZIGER Leila Rodrigues , LEITE Thyara Jaqueline
Published: March 2023

A palavra ectasia define uma dilatação anormal de um órgão oco, de um canal glandular ou de um vaso. No contexto do trato urinário, entende-se por ectasia pielocalicial ou hidronefrose, a ocorrência de uma dilatação do sistema coletor renal, ou seja, dos cálices e da pelve renal. Tal afecção, com diagnóstico comum em pacientes pediátricos, pode ser uni ou bilateral e é devida a múltiplos fatores, que podem ser obstruções ou refluxos, responsáveis por acúmulo de urina e consequente aumento do volume renal. Isso pode acarretar situações de insuficiência grave deste órgão caso a patologia de base não seja tratada em tempo hábil. Nesta condição, nota-se a importância do diagnóstico e tratamento precoces para que o prognóstico possa ser o melhor possível diante de cada caso e para que o rim e o funcionamento de todo aparelho urinário sejam preservados. Neste sentido, este trabalho pretende descrever um caso clínico de hidronefrose com evolução insatisfatória devido diagnóstico tardio. À época (do diagnóstico), o estado avançado da patologia tornou necessária a nefrectomia – uma conduta extrema para essas situações. Relato: Paciente de 40 anos, sexo feminino, com diagnóstico de dilatação do sistema pielocalicial à direita, aos 18 anos de idade, que evoluiu de maneira insatisfatória e culminou com realização de nefrectomia direita, aos 21 anos, devido perda da função renal consequente ao diagnóstico tardio. Conclusão:  De acordo com a literatura, o tratamento preconiza intervenção precoce na doença de base causadora da dilatação para prevenir a piora do quadro e evitar um pior prognóstico para o paciente.

The unique piston motion of the FPE is not constrained kinematically like the CPE with its connecting crankshaft and rotational inertial masses. Moreover, when directly coupled to the Linear Electric Machine (LEM) to harness electric energy production, the Free Piston Engine Generator’s (FPEG) characteristic motion, now being dynamically constrained, permits an extensive range of piston trajectory profiles to be exploited during operation. In addition, exploring varied piston trajectories during the development stages may be vital in reducing in-cylinder combustion emissions through strategies such as Low-Temperature Combustion (LTC) and Homogeneous Charge Compression Ignition (HCCI). This review paper will focus on the key motivations and drivers for continued FPEG development. It will also highlight and review its distinct advantages and challenges in being a viable solution as a future zero-carbon engine technology. Finally, FPE fundamentals, alongside its rich history, will be introduced, clearly presenting how academia and industry have described and controlled its intrinsic non-linear dynamics.

Published: March 2023

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to explore the independent risk factors of chronic ventricular dilatation after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage.
Methods: A retrospective study was carried out in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage and admitted to the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from July 2017 to February 2021. The patients were grouped according to whether they had chronic ventricular dilatation. The patients’ demographic, clinical, and imaging datas including gender, age, hypertension, Hunt and Hess grade, Fisher grade, intraventricular hemorrhage, acute ventricular dilatation, aneurysm location, cerebrospinal fluid drainage, surgical methods, and meningitis were recorded and analyzed. And binary multivariate logistic regression models were used to investigate the independent risks for the chronic ventricular dilatation.
Results: A total of 70 patients were analyzed and 36 (51.4%) developed chronic ventricular dilatation. Univariate analysis showed that age, Hunt and Hess grade, Fisher grade, intraventricular hemorrhage, acute ventricular dilatation, subtentorial aneurysms, and cerebrospinal fluid drainage were significantly different between the two groups. And there was no significant difference between the two groups in gender, hypertension, surgical method, or meningitis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that acute ventricular dilatation was the only independent risk factor for chronic ventricular dilatation after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (OR 92.1, 95% CI: 11.7–999.9, P < 0.001).
Conclusions: Acute ventricular dilatation was an independent risk factor of chronic ventricular dilatation after aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage. Future research is needed to assess whether early treatment of acute ventricular dilatation can reduce chronic ventricular dilatation.

Authors: Jin Hong , Zhang Yujie
Published: March 2023

As one of the manifestations of new retail, community group purchase fully embodies the core meaning of the integrated development of the new retail model "online + offline" - users place orders online and pick up goods offline the next day, providing users with a convenient and fast shopping experience under the new scenario of "people and goods yard". Especially during the epidemic, residents are limited to go out, and community group purchase plays an important role in ensuring people's basic life. Based on this, this paper preliminarily explores the operation mode of community group purchase, analyzes its basic form characteristics, advantages and existing problems, and puts forward countermeasures and suggestions.

Authors: Giunchi Elisa Ada , Joyenda Mir Ahmad
Published: March 2023

After the return to power of the Taliban in August 2021, many analysts wondered if the new Islamic emirate would be different from the one that had controlled much of the country between 1996-2001. The treatment of women since then, which has received extensive coverage, seems to indicate that their ideological stand has not changed. But there is one aspect that has been overlooked and that would help us answer that question: the policies towards the Shi‘a minority. In the paper we will summarize the status of Afghan Shi‘as through the decades and assess whether it has changed over the course of two periods of Taleban rule

Authors: Ikyenge Barnabas Aloo , Iorkaha Terungwa , Benjamin Ishwah
Published: March 2023

Afzelia africana seed oil was extracted from its oil-bearing seeds via soxhlet extraction with n-hexane as the solvent. The oil was characterized and the percentage yield, specific gravity, refractive index, iodine value, acid value and saponification value were; 24.6%, 0.9184, 1.4708, 105.75 (Wij’s), 5.61 (mg KOH/g) and 199.155 (mg/KOH/g) respectively. Dimer acids were synthesized by heating 50g of the oil at 3400C in nitrogen inert atmosphere using iodine crystals as catalyst. Characterization of the dimer acid indicated that refractive index, iodine value, acid value and saponification value were 1.4904, 126.90 (Wij’s),7.01 (mgKOH/g) and 136.043 (mgKOH/g) respectively. Fatty polyamide was synthesized by heating the dimer acid and ethylenediamine at a temperature of 2100C in an inert atmosphere. Fourier Transform Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis for both the synthesized dimer acid and fatty polyamide was obtained. The dimer acid shows a peak at 1697.41cm-1 due to C=O stretch of carboxylic acid, a peak at 1080.17 cm-1 which corresponds to O-H bend of carboxylic acid. A peak corresponding to C-H stretch of alkane group shown at 2916.42 cm-1, a peak at 1111.03 cm-1 due to C-O-C stretch of fatty ester group. The polyamide showed a peak at 1180.47 cm-1 which corresponds to C-N stretch of aliphatic amine group. The significant difference in absorption between the synthesized dimer acid and fatty polyamide is the peak at 3533.71 cm-1 which corresponds to amide N-H stretching absorption that was present in the polyamide due to the higher number of hydrogen bonds formed by amide groups. The findings revealed that Afzalia africana seed oil is semi-drying in nature based on its iodine value and has the desirable qualities needed for producing surface coating vehicles.

Published: March 2023

The incessant road crashes on Onitsha-Owerri road is worrisome. It has become a norm that a day will not pass by without a record of accident on that road. This prompted the researchers to assess the dominant factors of such incidence and proffer solution. 300 questionnaires were prepared and distributed in the study area to source information from drivers, out of which 267 participated. The SPSS tool was used to analyze the data obtained from the respondents. The findings showed different causes of accidents which include driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs, uninspected vehicles, bad roads, and overloading. But the major factor found is purported wrong establishment of roadblocks at hilly, supper elevation and sharp bend using for checkpoint. The study recommends the construction of a toll gate with checkpoint on a good terrain at Oba and Awo-Omamma. The researcher sketched a toll gate with checkpoint, height barrier to avert overloading and a digital camera that will serve as a point of inspection. This would eliminate all unprofessional and unwanted road block/checkpoints in the area and creates an avenue for good revenue which will be a benefit to our economy. The issue of overloading would be tackled at the tollgate, where road height barriers are positioned to stop drivers from carrying excess loads and a weighing bridge would be positioned at the side of the toll gate to measure the weight of overloaded vehicles.

Authors: Gavini Siva , Chandrahasan Chandramaliteeswaran , Vutukuru Venkataramireddy
Published: March 2023

Background: Synchronous cancers are defined as two or more cancers diagnosed simultaneously or within an interval of 6 months after the diagnosis of primary cancer. They are attributed to similar genetic mutations and genetic susceptibility. Methods: All the patients with gastric cancer and synchronous malignancies who underwent surgery were included from 1996 to 2022. Data were extracted from the case records. The analysed data included age, sex, intraoperative procedure, and histopathology report. Results: During this period, 7 cases underwent surgical treatment for dual malignancy with a diagnosis of gastric carcinoma. The second malignancy site was the genitourinary system (5 cases), colon (1 case) and left forearm (1 case). Conclusion: Synchronous double malignancies in gastric cancer pose a challenge to treating physicians. Proper staging of the disease is needed and treatment planning should include a multidisciplinary approach.

Authors: George Anjali
Published: March 2023

Introduction: Hearing loss in patients with tubotympanic type of chronic suppurative otitis media is classically observed as conductive deafness. However, a concomitant presence of sensorineural hearing loss can be seen in some cases.The factors contributing to the development of this type of loss needs to be evaluated.
Aim of the study: To study the incidence of sensorineural loss in patients with chronic suppurative otitis media tubotympanic disease and to assess the possible associated factors.
Materials and methods:322 patients with chronic suppurative otitis media- tubotympanic disease admitted in a tertiary care centre over a period of five years. Clinical evaluation sheet, discharge summary and audiological evaluation sheet were reviewed to collect the data according to the proforma and analyzed statistically after entering in SPSS software. Data was collected regarding clinical presentation, audiological evaluation and otomicroscopy findings.
Results: Out of 319 cases with hearing loss, a significant number of patients (67 patients;20.8%) had mixed hearing loss. There was statistically significant correlation between the type of hearing loss and size of perforation (p value – 0.039). 42 out of 67 cases with mixed loss had large perforations.The pattern of hearing loss showed variation with the site of perforation with a significant difference in incidence between purely anterior and purely posterior perforations (p value – 0.035).
Conclusion:The statistical analysis of the data collected showed a significant incidence of sensorineural loss in tubotympanic disease and it was mainly associated with the site as well as increasing size of the perforation.

Published: March 2023

Background:
Sodium-Glucose CoTransporter-2 [SGLT2] inhibitors, the -flozin group of drugs, which block glucose reuptake in the renal proximal tubule, are being increasingly used off-label to treat horses with refractory hyperinsulinemia. After two years of use by animals in our group, a horse on canagliflozin was incidentally noted to be hyperlipemic.
Case Description:
We have been following a cohort of equines (n=20) treated with SGLT2 inhibitors due to refractory hyperinsulinemia. The animals are owned by members of the Equine Cushing’s and Insulin Resistance Group (ECIR) and treated by their attending veterinarians. The index case was a 23 year old gelding with a 2 year history of recurring laminitis that began canagliflozin therapy to control hyperinsulinemia which was no longer responsive to metformin. Between 6-10 weeks post therapy, significant weight loss was noticed. Two days later he was hospitalized with colic symptoms and hyperlipemia but was bright, alert and eating well throughout. Canagliflozin was discontinued and triglycerides returned to normal reference values within 10 days. Subsequent study of 19 other horses on SGLT2 inhibitors revealed varying degrees of hypertriglyceridemia, all asymptomatic.
Conclusion:
While this class of drugs holds great promise for cases of refractory hyperinsulinemia and laminitis that do not respond to diet or metformin therapy, hypertriglyceridemia is a potential side effect. In our experience, animals remained asymptomatic and eating well. Further study of hypertriglyceridemia in horses on SGLT2 inhibitors and the possible mitigating effect of diet is indicated. To our knowledge, this is the first published report of hypertriglyceridemia with SGLT2 inhibitor treatment in equines.

Authors: Wang Yuanyuan
Published: March 2023

The Article 1060 of the Civil Code of the People 's Republic of China clearly stipulates that “civil legal acts performed by one of the spouses due to the needs of daily life of the family shall be valid for both spouses.’’ The system of daily family agency stipulated in this article is intended to maintain the stability of marriage and family and protect the interests of bona fide counterparts.

In this paper, the author takes the typical case of one using the common property of the couple to reward and the other party 's requesting for return as the starting point, from the perspective of legal interpretation, on the basis of clarifying the concept of daily family agency, defines the specific scope of “family daily life needs” in The Article 1060 of the Civil Code of the People 's Republic of China. Through the study, the author concludes that whether an act belongs to “the right of daily family agency’’ should meet the necessity of purpose and the appropriateness of means in essence, and also require generality and repeatability in form.

The Reference of U.S. Murder Grading System to China’s Intentional Murder -- From the Perspective of Premeditated Contemplation
Authors: He Zhiyu
Published: March 2023

In American criminal law, the practice of taking premeditation as the classification standard of murder degree originates from the legislative reform of Pennsylvania in 1794, which divides premeditated intentional murder as the first-degree murder and the rest intentional killing as the second-degree murder. As only the first-degree murder can be sentenced to death, this reform succeeded to limit the number of capital punishments. However, there are also some problems in taking premeditation as the murder grading’s standard. Firstly, the definition of premeditation is vague, causing difficulties in judicial application. Secondly, premeditation cannot accurately reflect the actor’s culpability every time. If premeditation is the only factor in convicting and sentencing punishment, the result may be unfair. Therefore, some states in the United States abandoned the murder grading system based on premeditation, and instead applied the new paradigm of the Model Penal Code, which stipulated that only first-degree murder with aggravating circumstances can be sentenced to death. Although premeditation is regarded as the sentencing circumstance of intentional homicide in judicial interpretation, it is still vague in practice. The theoretical discussion and practical reform of premeditation in American murder law have certain reference significance for the conviction and sentencing of subjective factors of intentional homicide in China.
