Published: June 2021

Ethics is described as the set of behavioral patterns, conceptions, values and any other aspects that determine the actions of the individual and / or social group. In refer to psychology, these standards are regulated by the Psychologist's Professional Code of Ethics (CEPP), as a tool that governs the normative principles and behaviors expected of professionals in the field. Therefore, it is also stipulated about the various areas of activity of psychology, among them psychological assessment (PA) within the context of traffic, the role of the psychologist being indispensable to the process of health promotion, safety and accident prevention, although, in practice, act only with psychotechnical execution. Thus, the present study aims to explain ethical-professional articulations in the PA process in the context of traffic. Furthermore, the qualitative approach was used as a method, with a descriptive objective, whose resource is the narrative review of literature, covering the period from 2005 to 2020. However, it is possible to infer that such factors are closely related, making their articulation essential for the execution of an effective and committed social praxis.
An Italian Renaissance Gate for the Khan: Visual Culture in Early Modern Crimea
Authors:   Istanbul Şehir University, Kançal-Ferrari Nicole , Seitkhalilova Leylya S. ,   Marjani Institute of History of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences
Published: June 2021

The article is a translation from English of the scientific work of the Turkish historian Nikole Kançal Ferrari: “An Italian Renaissance Gate for the Khan: Visual culture in Early Modern Crimea”. The article deals with the issue of foundation and identification of the author of the Iron Door (Demir Kapu) project in Backchisarai. The article also considers the question of the original location and date of installation of the project. This is rather difficult task due to the intensive restoration works and replacement of many decayed decorative components of the portal. The accurate analysis of the original appearance of the monument is almost impossible. In this regard, the analysis and research of the other sources is carried out except for the gates of the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul and the surviving inscriptions of the Crimean Khanate.
Abdullah ibn Rizvan-Pasha. The Chronicle «Tevarikh-i-Desht-i Kiptchak». Part 2
Authors:   F. Yakubov Crimean Engineering and Pedagogical University, Abduzhemilev Refat R. ,   Marjani Institute of History of Tatarstan Academy of Sciences
Published: June 2021

The column presents one of the principal narrative sources reflecting the history of the Golden Horde and the Crimean Khanate – the work “Tevarikh-i Desht-i Kiptchak” (“The Chronicle of the Desht-i Kiptchak”, 1638) from under the pen of Abdullah ibn Rizvan. Notwithstanding the presence of works in the scientific literature on this chronicle, they still have a superficial character. The artistic and literary merits of the work have not been fully analyzed. The chronicle is a vivid example of the evolution of the Crimean Ottoman traditions of verbal creativity and chronology, which later gave impetus to the emergence of other universal histories. The text of “Tevarikh-i Desht-i Kiptchak” is given in the original transliteration from two manuscripts (National Library of France S 874 and The Library of Topkapı Palace Museum B 289) and in Russian translation (author of transliteration and translation – R. R. Abduzhemilev). The translation is made up of the combined text from two manuscript copies in the book Ananiasz Zajaczkowski “La Chronique des Steppes Kıptchak Tevarih-i Deşt-ı Qıpçaq du XVIIe siecle” (Warszawa, 1966).
On the guestion of dating the seizure of power in the Crimea by Devlet Girey I
Authors:   Independent researcher, Morozov Andrei A.
Published: June 2021

The date of accession of Devlet Girey I to the throne in the Crimea as a result of the coup d’état , inspired by the Ottoman government, is specified in the article. As a review of domestic and foreign studies on this issue shows, the generally accepted dating of this event as in 1551 was largely formed due to the uncritical perception of Turkish chronicle`s narrative. A more careful analysis, considering data from the Russian chronicles and ambassadorial books, allows us to date the arrival of Devlet Girey I to power as in autumn of 1550. Aditionally, the connection of this event with the fall of Kazan and its impact on the geopolitical situation in Eastern Europe is discussed.

Published: June 2021

Aim: The present study was undertaken to assess the food resources and butterfly diversity in Botanical Garden, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University. Methodology: The survey was conducted in targeted locality from September 2015 – October 2019 and butterflies sightings were recorded using a digital camera (Nikon D7200 with kit lens 18-105 mm, Tamron 200-300 apo dg macro lens). Results: Total 95 species of butterflies were recorded in the garden. Among all families, the highest count was observed in Nymphalidae family followed by Lycaenidae (29 species), Pieridae (15 species), Hesperiidae (10 species) and Papilionidae (11 species). The relative diversity of Nymphalidae (31.57 %) and Lycaenidae (30.52 %) were higher. For Pieridae, RD value accounted for 15.78 % and 11.57 % for Papilionidae. RD value was least for Hesperiidae family (10.52 %). Out of 95 butterflies, the host plants of 88 butterflies were present in the garden itself. Fifteen nectar plants belonging to eleven families were most preferred nectar sources. Interpretation: The present study gives information of butterfly and its food plant diversity in the garden. The obtained information will help in planting additional host and nectar plant resources to attract rare species. It also sheds light on the importance of survival of prominent nectar plants throughout the year for maintaining the butterfly abundance in garden.

Aim: The present study aimed to develop enzymatic clarified sapota (Achras sapota L.) juice beverage under optimized conditions for future scale up. Methodology: In this study, the ripened sapota fruits PKM 1 variety were ground to pulp and pulp was mixed with 0.05-0.15% pectinase enzyme and incubated at 35oC-45oC for 30-120 min. After incubation period the enzyme was deactivated by placing the pulp in warm water bath at 90oC for 3 min. Optimal enzymatic clarified juice was produced by pectinase enzyme by response surface methodology. Results: The absorbance values decreased with increasing incubation time at fixed temperature. Incubation time showed a significant and p<0.05 negative effect on L* value at linear terms. At fixed temperature, the L* value increased with increasing enzyme concentration. Significant regression models proved that the changes in clarity, juice yield and colour (L*values) when compared to the independent variables demonstrated, coefficient of determination, R2 greater than 0.8. Interpretation: Optimization conditions like minimum clarity, maximum juice yield and maximum color (L* value) can be applied in the production of sapota juice for commercial use.

Aim: To study the effect of deficit irrigation on yield and water productivity of sunflower in East and South eastern coastal plains of Odisha. Methodology: The present study on water productivity was undertaken using hybrid sunflower (Swathi: NSFH-145) with application of deficit irrigation having Management Allowable Deficit level of 20%, 40%, 60% and one farmers’ practice of 70% MAD level of irrigation. Growth attributes like leaf area Index, plant height, and head diameter were recorded at 20, 45, 65 and 80 days after sowing. Yield attributes like 1000 seed weight (test weight), above ground biomass and grain yield, were recorded after threshing. Results: The growth, yield and water productivity of sunflower were significantly influenced by different irrigation levels. Irrigation scheduling at 20% MAD level showed the highest grain yield, while the lowest yield was obtained from the farmers’ practice. Irrigation at 60% MAD level showed the highest water productivity when compared with farmer’s practice as it produced the highest yield per unit quantity of water application of 0.85 kg m-3 and also produced the highest average benefit to cost ratio of 2.08. Interpretation: Taking the yield, water productivity and benefit-cost ratio into account, irrigation at 60% MAD level was found to be the best. However, irrigation at 50% to 60% MAD level may be suggested for growing sunflower under water scarce conditions in sandy loam soil for increasing water productivity.
Mechanistic paradigms of cell death - revisited
Authors:   Department of Toxicology, Ch. Charan Singh University, Meerut-250 004, India, Rana S.V.S.
Published: June 2021

Present review is the description of a journey that originates from Virchows' cell theory and terminates with the role of molecular switches in cell death recently proposed by Orrenius. Landmark discoveries made, in between, to characterize regulated as well as accidental cell death have also been documented. It embraces the studies that were made in early nineties to understand cellular homeostasis in health and disease. Furthermore, the effects of foreign chemicals on different cell types witnessed in late nineties have been classified into necrosis, apoptosis, autophagy etc. Since it is important to know how a cell dies, studies made in our own and other laboratories on the role of reactive oxygen species, oxidative stress, intracellular Ca2+ homeostasis, redox imbalance, mitochondrial and ER stress in cell death have also been reviewed. Possibility of a cross talk amongst these mechanisms has also been examined. It discusses the impact of wonder molecules like CYP450, GSH, metallothionein and melatonin together with enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants on cell death. Understanding the cellular targets and molecular mechanisms activated by a variety of environmental xenobiotics is fundamental for human health risk assessment. It is expected that the contents of this article will answer the fundamental question- why and how cells die.

CASH MANAGEMENT: HOW DO COUNTRIES PERFORM SOUND PRACTICES?
Authors: Cangoz Coskun , Secunho Leandro
Published: June 2021

Cash management is simply defined as making the right amount of money available at the right time and the right place to meet the government's obligations in the most cost-effective way. The main features of modern cash management are centralized government bank accounts and establishment of a Treasury Single Account, ability to make accurate cash flow forecasts, use of short-term financing instruments, and capacity for the investment of excess cash reserves. Establishing a sound cash management framework with the mentioned features is beneficial not only to the governments and public entities, but also to other stakeholders including the beneficiaries of government payments, banks and lenders. Given the recent COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic and locked-down measures introduced in many countries, governments had to deal with unanticipated revenue decreases, and significantly increased public expenditures due to fiscal stimulus packages and pandemic related health expenditures. Therefore, existence of a well-structured government cash management is now even more important than before. This paper aims to explore cash flow forecasting and cash management practices in 24 countries in various regions, at different income levels and technical capacity, and alignment to good practices based on the information provided at the World Bank workshops on Cash Flow Forecasting and Cash Management held in 2018 and 2019. The paper also draws on experiences and practices from other emerging and advanced countries. Cases from different countries indicate that full implementation of modern cash management is still a challenge, even though the Treasury Single Account system is

common in most countries and liquidity buffers were established or increased following the Global Financial Crisis. Cash flow forecasting is an area to improve given the accuracy, horizon and frequency of the projections are frequently limited. Fragmented institutional structure makes cash management even more challenging. Country cases also demonstrate that there is a significant room to strengthen coordination between debt and cash management and the use of short-term instruments to cover cash shortages. Investment of cash balances seems to be a bigger weakness as many countries keep their liquidity buffers in the Central Bank with no remuneration.

Authors: Hong Joon Shik , Mo Young Woong , Kang Inho , Jung Gyu Yong , Shin Hea Kyeong , Lee Joon Ho
Published: June 2021

In many cases chronic wounds in the lower extremities are extremely difficult to heal because of inadequate blood supply, and when wounds are complicated by osteomyelitis, plastic surgeons and orthopedic surgeons must join forces to facilitate treatment. A 63-year-old man with bone exposure and a peripherally indurated chronic open wound complicated by osteomyelitis of the right distal thigh was admitted to the department of orthopedic surgery at our hospital. He was referred to our department for treatment of the right side chronic open wound. We report our successful experience with a partial biceps femoris muscle transposition flap with fasciocutaneous expanded-keystone advancement flap following wound and bone debridement for the coverage of complex wounds associated with bone infection. The results show two discrete layers of muscle. In patients with chronic osteomyelitis, fasciocutaneous flaps might provide a more effective means of covering full-depth soft tissue defects without donor site morbidity, compared to free flaps.
A Rare Case of Calcinosis Cutis: Easily Mistaken as a Foreign Body
Authors: Kim Hong Il , Kim Ho Sung , Yi Hyung Suk , Kim Hyo Young , Kim Yoon Soo
Published: June 2021

Calcinosis cutis is a very rare disease characterized by insoluble calcium salt deposits in the skin. There are five types of calcinosis, dystrophic type being the most common among them. Dystrophic calcinosis is generally caused by local tissue damage. We present the dystrophic calcinosis cutis case of a patient with no underlying diseases but a burn injury which occurred 10 years ago. She visited the hospital for an ulcerative wound on the same area. She also had sustained a dog bite injury on the same site 9 months ago, which was treated at an oriental clinic with no improvement. Physical examination by palpation revealed a hard mass under the skin. As the mass was of a large size, the possibility of a foreign body was considered. Surgical resection and biopsy of the mass diagnosed it as dystrophic calcinosis cutis. Although clinical features of this case were unlike previous calcinosis cutis cases, performing a biopsy proved helpful towards its diagnosis.
Keystone Flap with Omega Variation and Sydney Melanoma Unit Modification to Cover Small- and Moderate-Sized Defects in the Anterior Lower Leg
Authors: Kong Yu Taek , Kim Junekyu , Shin Hyun Woo , Kim Kyu Nam
Published: June 2021

Background: Covering a small defect on the anterior lower leg is challenging because less soft tissue is available. This study presents the application of a keystone flap (KF) with omega variation (OV) and Sydney melanoma unit modification (SMUM) for small- and moderatesized pretibial defects.Methods: This study included a series of six cases of anterior lower leg defect reconstruction with OV and SMUM KF technique by a single surgeon between December 2017 and June 2020. Records and photographs of the patients were collected and analyzed.Results: The defects’ sizes ranged from 1.5×2.5 to 6×8 cm. All defects were covered with OV KF, SMUM KF, or OV SMUM KF based on the hotspots of surrounding perforators. The flap sizes varied from 3×6 to 8×17 cm. Moreover, all flaps were completely viable. A marginal maceration developed in one case, which was mended with conservative dressing. Outcomes were favorable in all patients during the average follow-up period of 4.83±1.17 months.Conclusion: This study successfully covered small- and moderate-sized anterior lower leg defects with OV and SMUM KF. We therefore suggest the OV and SMUM KF techniques as good alternative modalities for anterior lower leg reconstruction.
Intraadiposal Pedicle Dissection when Performing Free Tissue Transfer: A Means to Address a Short Pedicle
Authors: Lim Jung Han , Chang Jung Woo
Published: June 2021

A 77-year-old male patient with a diabetic foot ulcer on his right great toe visited the outpatient clinic. As necrosis of the toe had already progressed, the patient underwent toe amputation to prevent extensive gangrene. With the goal of enabling future ambulation, an anterolateral thigh fasciocutaneous free flap was planned to preserve the metatarsal head and to cover the defect. Subfascial dissection was performed when elevating the fasciocutaneous flap, but the sole healthy perforator was in an extremely proximal area and allowed only a 4-cm-long pedicle. The pedicle had to be at least 8 cm long to ensure secure anastomosis to the medial plantar artery. To overcome this unexpected challenge, we pierced the deep fascia near the perforator and dissected the perforator distally within the deep adipose layer. The necessary additional length of the pedicle was obtained through intraadiposal dissection. The flap survived without any complications, and the foot was reconstructed with successful ambulation. This case demonstrates the value of attempting intraadiposal pedicle dissection when the pedicle turns out to be unmanageably short.
Vertical Rectus Abdominis Myocutaneous-Pedicled Island Flap for Covering Defect of the Suprapubic Area: A Case Report
Authors: Yeo Hyun-Dong , Chung Jae-Ho , Park Seung-Ha , Lee Byung-Il , Yoon Eul-Sik
Published: June 2021

Immediate reconstruction of defects in the lower abdomen is challenging. We present a successful reconstruction case using a vertical rectus abdominis myocutaneous (VRAM) flap for a radiation ulcer on the suprapubic area following radiation therapy for recurred malignant melanoma. Before flap elevation, we conducted sufficient debridement until pliable healthy tissue was revealed. Afterwards, a 15×9 cm VRAM flap was elevated. We then inserted the flap through a suprafascial tunnel. At 6 months postoperatively, a completely healed aesthetic flap was achieved. This case is meaningful in that it involves a successful reconstruction of a sizable abdominal wall defect of the suprapubic area with unhealthy and unviable adjacent tissue following repeated surgery and chemoradiotherapy.

Published: June 2021

Background: When an avulsion wound is combined with a crushing injury or when a local flap is moved with significant tension, poor local blood supply may result in partial or complete necrosis of the involved tissue. This paper explores procedures to prevent tissue necrosis for the ischemic wounds.Methods: From March 2017 to December 2018, 29 hospitalized patients (group A) were treated with simple dressing change and administration of antibiotics. From January 2019 to October 2020, 29 hospitalized patients (group B) were injected for the first 3 days intravenously once a day with 50 μg of stabilized prostaglandin E1. Prostaglandin E1 injections were combined with supplemental oxygen (4 L/min through nasal cannula for 24 hours per day for the first 3 days). Wound dressing and antibiotics administration were also combined.Results: Ten patients in group A developed partial wound necrosis, out of which four patients received local flap surgery after excision of the necrotic tissue. The average recovery time was 9.7 days. In group B, four patients developed partial wound necrosis, out of which one was treated with local flap surgery. The average recovery for the four patients in group B took 6.2 days.Conclusion: Prostaglandin E1 and supplemental oxygen reduced the incidence of partial wound necrosis of ischemic wounds and local flap surgery after excision of the necrotic tissue, and also shortened the average recovery time.

O papel da enfermagem frente à tentativa de suicídio na adolescência e seus fatores sociais determinantes
Authors: Santana Tiago Neves de , De Paiva Raimundo José Mulado , Araújo Júnior David Gomes , Mesquita Anna Larissa Moraes , Machado Wyarlenn Divino
Published: June 2021

O objetivo geral deste artigo centra-se em compreender a atuação da enfermagem perante a problemática do suicídio na adolescência. A metodologia aplicada para a realização desse estudo foi uma revisão integrativa da literatura, utilizando produções científicas publicadas entre os anos de 2005 a 2018, nas bases de dados Scielo (Scientific Eletronic Library Online), BVS/Bireme (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde/ Centro Latino Americano e do Caribe de Informação em Saúde) e LILACS (Literatura Latino Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde), com os seguintes descritores: Adolescência, Suicídio e Enfermagem. Os estudos obtidos mostraram que o suicídio entre adolescentes é um problema grave e que necessita de cuidados especiais por toda a sociedade, seja por se tratar de um momento da vida em que há uma vulnerabilidade aos conflitos psicológicos característicos dessa fase que intermeia a infância e a vida adulta, seja por uma falta de capacitação adequada dos enfermeiros para lidar, perceber e acolher esses adolescentes. Por isso, é preciso que todos estejam sempre atentos aos sinais como mudança de temperamento e mudanças de comportamento, pois essas características se fizerem presentes na maioria dos casos vitimados. Então, é de fundamental importância a atuação da enfermagem na notificação de novos casos, no acolhimento do paciente e no desenvolvimento de políticas preventivas direcionadas que melhorem tanto a qualidade no atendimento, quanto a prevenção de novos casos.

Natural hazards in the mountainous region of Rio de Janeiro state, Brazil: rainfall erosivity as an early warning index
Authors: Alves Geovane , Mello Carlos de , Guo Li , Thebaldi Michael
Published: June 2021

Rainfall erosivity is defined as the potential of rain to cause erosion.
It has great potential for application in studies related to landslides
and floods, in addition to water erosion. The objectives of this study
were: i) to model the Rday using a seasonal model for the Mountainous
Region of the State of Rio de Janeiro (MRRJ); ii) to adjust thresholds
of the Rday index based on catastrophic events which occurred in the
last two decades; and iii) to map the maximum daily rainfall erosivity
(Rmaxday) to assess the region’s susceptibility to rainfall hazards
according to the established Rday limits. The fitted Rday model
presented a satisfactory result, thereby enabling its application as an
estimator of the daily rainfall erosivity in MRRJ. Events that resulted
in Rday > 1,500 MJ.ha-1.mm.h-1.day-1 were those with the
highest number of fatalities. The spatial distribution of Rmaxday showed
that the entire MRRJ has presented values that can cause major rainfall.
The Rday index proved to be a promising indicator of rainfall hazards,
which is more effective than those normally used that are only based on
quantity (mm) and/or intensity (mm.h-1) of the rain.

This paper proposes and tests a methodology for the development of simulated data for individual income tax returns in the U.S., enabling students of taxation and accounting, and other interested parties, to examine changes to the tax code, the effects of tax planning alternatives, and conduct repeated experimental testing on tax return data. The simulation draws insight from statistical and economic literature into the stochastic nature of certain line items from the tax returns, using the information provided by the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) Statistics of Income (SOI) program. The simulation produced data for 147,000 tax returns, representing ∼1 percent of the population of filed tax returns, and was then validated against the results of the summary data provided by IRS SOI. Our simulated data closely matched the number and combined dollar value of the IRS SOI summary data at the AGI, state, and filing status levels.

We investigate how connections to organized crime manifest on firms' financial statements and analyze the impact of these connections on firm performance outcomes. Using a unique dataset that identifies Italian firms connected to organized crime, we find that connected firms have lower profitability, even though they report higher sales and lower labor cost. Connected firms also have higher bank debt, report lower cash holdings, experience quicker operating cycles and are more likely to file for bankruptcy. Further, we find that connected firms are more tax aggressive and engage in downward earnings manipulation. To corroborate our results, we exploit an amendment to the Italian Anti-Money Laundering regulation as a shock to the extent to which criminal organizations could expropriate connected firms' resources through money laundering. Our collective evidence suggests that connections to organized crime can drain a firm's resources, possibly through money-laundering schemes, and jeopardize its existence, thereby harming its shareholders.

OBJECTIVE

The objective of this study was to assess the long-term role of intensive glycemic control (INT) compared with standard glycemic control in accumulated eye procedures in patients with advanced diabetes.

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

We compared the effect of treatment assignment on the accumulated number of eye procedures during the intervention period of the Veteran Affairs Diabetes Trial (VADT) (2000–2008) (median follow-up 5.6 years), the interim VADT follow-up study (2000–2013), and the full 17 years of VADT follow-up (2000–2017). We further analyzed data using various cardiovascular markers in two models. Model I included total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and BMI. Model II included these covariates plus age and diabetic retinopathy (DR) severity score at baseline of the original trial.

RESULTS

The final analysis of the data showed a mild but nonsignificant increase in number of procedures and in retinal or retinal plus cataract surgery during the three periods of the study.

CONCLUSIONS

We found no significant benefit of INT during the original trial period in eye-related procedures, such as various procedures for DR, or during the 17 years of follow-up in cataract surgery. However, after adjusting data for some known vascular markers, the increase in the number of eye procedures with INT becomes more prevalent. This finding indicates that INT might not have a protective role in events requiring surgery in individuals with advanced diabetes.

OBJECTIVE

To investigate admission hyperglycemia effects on the sympathetic system and long-term prognosis in Takotsubo syndrome (TTS).

RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS

In patients with TTS and hyperglycemia (n = 28) versus normoglycemia (n = 48), serum norepinephrine and 123I-labeled metaiodobenzylguanidine (MIBG) cardiac scintigraphy were assessed. Heart failure (HF) occurrence and death events over 2 years were evaluated.

RESULTS

At hospitalization, those with hyperglycemia versus normoglycemia had higher levels of inflammatory markers and B-type natriuretic peptide and lower left ventricular ejection fraction. Glucose values correlated with norepinephrine levels (R2 = 0.39; P = 0.001). In 30 patients with TTS, 123I-MIBG cardiac scintigraphy showed lower late heart-to-mediastinum ratio values in the acute phase (P < 0.001) and at follow-up (P < 0.001) in those with hyperglycemia. Patients with hyperglycemia had higher rates of HF (P < 0.001) and death events (P < 0.05) after 24 months. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, hyperglycemia (P = 0.008), tumor necrosis factor-α (P = 0.001), and norepinephrine (P = 0.035) were independent predictors of HF events.

CONCLUSIONS

Patients with TTS and hyperglycemia exhibit sympathetic overactivity with a hyperglycemia-mediated proinflammatory pathway, which could cause worse prognosis during follow-up.
Trafik Kazalarının Sınıflandırılmasında Çok Katmanlı Algılayıcı, Regresyon ve En Yakın Komşuluk Algoritmalarının Performans Analizi

Dünya genelinde artan nüfus ile birlikte taşıt sayısı da artış göstermektedir. Taşıt sayısının artışı ise birçok problemi beraberinde getirmektedir. Bu problemlerden en önemlisi ise trafik kazalarıdır. Trafik kazalarının maddi ve manevi önemli kayıplara sebep olabilme durumu bu alandaki çalışmaların gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır. Trafik kazalarının daha iyi analiz edilebilmesi ve kolay yorumlanabilmesi için sınıflandırma işlemine ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır. Bu kapsamda teknolojinin gelişmesi ve yapay zekâ teknolojilerinin insan hayatına girmesi ile çeşitli sınıflandırma yöntemleri ve bilgisayar programları geliştirilmektedir. Yapılan bu çalışmada; Ülkemizde yıllara göre meydana gelen trafik kaza verisi kullanılarak yıllar ölüm ve yaralanma durumlarına göre sınıflandırılmıştır. Daha sonra veri madenciliği algoritmaları olan çok katmanlı algılayıcı, regresyon ve en yakın komşuluk yöntemleri ile yılların trafik kaza sayılarına göre sınıflandırılma performansları ve hata ölçütleri WEKA analiz programı ile hesaplanmıştır. Her üç algoritmanın sınıflandırılma değerleri birbiri ile kıyaslandığında hem performans analizi hem de hata ölçütleri açısından birçok kriterde en yakın komşuluk algoritmasının daha iyi sonuçlar verdiği tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan bu çalışma sayesinde son yıllarda meydana gelen trafik kazalarında ölüm ve yaralanma oranının 2000’li yıllarının başında olduğu gibi tekrar yüksek risk seviyesine geldiği tespit edilmiştir. Bu durum karar vericilerin trafik kazalarını azaltmaya yönelik önlemlerini artırması adına önemlidir. Öte yandan yapılan sınıflandırma performanslarının incelenmesi sayesinde ise benzer özelliklere sahip veri kümesinin sınıflandırılması işleminde hangi algoritmanın tercih edilebileceği ortaya konmuştur.
A Case of Laryngeal Granulomas After Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery With Prolonged Intubation
Authors: Tsukamoto Masanori , Taura Shiori , Hitosugi Takashi , Yokoyama Takeshi
Published: June 2021

Laryngeal granuloma development can be a postoperative complication of laryngeal trauma or irritation resulting from general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation. These rare benign lesions are located primarily over the cartilaginous portions of the larynx, particularly the vocal processes of the arytenoids. Airway manipulation during the intubation process and prolonged intubation periods can be contributing factors to intubation-related laryngeal granulomas, which may manifest 1 to 4 months after intubation. The patient in this case was a female who returned with complaints of throat pain without hoarseness or sensations of a “lump in her throat” 3 months following surgery, during which she was intubated with a 7.0-mm nasotracheal tube for 30 hours, likely contributing to her bilateral laryngeal granulomas. The patient underwent successful conservative medical management consisting of a proton pump inhibitor and an inhaled corticosteroid.
Engagement policy and formation of allied relations: India in the US foreign policy strategy under George W. Bush and B. Obama
Authors: Shur Elizaveta A.
Published: June 2021

The article presents an analysis of the engagement policy and the formation of allied relations which hold a central place in the foreign policy of the United States. It is noted that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks demonstrated the ideological insecurity of the United States and forced Washington to join the global campaign against terrorism. Despite the untenable willingness to bear the burden of war alone, the American political establishment began to look for allies and partners. The purpose of this article is to identify India’s place in the system of American foreign policy strategies of George W. Bush and Barack Obama. When studying this topic, the author relied on the methods of analysis, synthesis, comparison and generalization. The phenomenon of using public diplomacy and the engagement policy for strengthening allied relations with India has been studied very little by domestic and foreign science. The article concludes that the White House showed considerable interest in India due to its favorable geographical location, experience in counterterrorism, tense relations with China (a potential competitor of the United States), and the status of the world’s largest democracy, which indicates the country’s commitment to democratic values which are actively promoted by Washington. The article reveals the obstacles in the way of India’s involvement in this cooperation: despite its interest in establishing a dialogue with the United States, the republic did not show any desire to move away from the traditional policy of equidistance in international relations for fear of becoming an American puppet. During the administration of Barack Obama, U.S.–India relations received a new impetus as part of the US Pivot to Asia. The scope of cooperation between the two countries was significantly expanded. The relations reached a new level after Narendra Modi took office as Prime Minister of India. The scientific significance of this study lies in the fact that previously this topic has been considered exclusively through the prism of Chinese politics and nuclear problems.

Sundanese local wisdom is the values ​​resulting from the wisdom of the Sundanese people in carrying out their lives as people, rishis and kings. The kings of Sundanese at that time in leading were guided by the characteristics a leader must have written in the ancient Sanghyang Siksakandang Karesian script. Method using the literature review method by analyzing the literature on Sundanese leadership in the past and in the present. The results of data analysis from several journals discuss Sundanese local wisdom in leadership issues based on the ancient Siksakandang Karesian text, which explains that Sundanese leadership is guided by parigeuing. The figure of an ideal leader must stick to the astaguna principle of "eight wisdoms", so that his leadership is harmonious, good, and harmonious. The eight wisdoms as stated by Darsa (1998) are as follows: Animan (gentle), Ahiman (firm), Mahiman (broad-minded, Lagiman (agile / nimble / skilled), Prapti (right on target), Prakamya (tenacious / diligent) , Isitwa (honest), Wasitwa (open to criticism) This Sundanese leadership figure has weaknesses, because openness and admiration are one of the obstacles that make it difficult for Sundanese people to compete at the national level with Javanese ethnicities.
