Authors:   Korea Safety Culture Society, Cho Sang Yun , Oh Bong Yook
Published: September 2024

The pace of aging in Korea is the highest in the world, and Suwon City is also expected to enter a super-aged society in 2030, so preparations for the medical and welfare sectors for the elderly are urgent. In addition, interest in digital healthcare, which focuses on non-face-to-face treatment, has increased due to the COVID-19 pandemic crisis in 2019. In this study aimed to propose a plan to build an elderly welfare system for Suwon based on previous studies through literature review and expert focus group interviews As a result of literature survey, in developed countries, digital healthcare services have been developed mainly in the U.S., Japan, and Israel. In particular, the U.S., which has been promoting non-face-to-face telemedicine since early on due to its large land area, has developed a business centered on private companies, but has also been able to grow into a digital health powerhouse due to government support such as deregulation. In Korea, the development of the digital healthcare industry has been limited due to problems such as the regulation of telemedicine practices and unclear core.
In addition, according to the results of the expert group interviews, those involved in the mobile healthcare project at the Suwon City Health Center pointed out errors in the system app and difficult input methods as the main factors for negative participation in the project. Therefore, it is expected that for self-healthcare through digital healthcare to be actively implemented, it is necessary not only for the right understanding and participation of the project targets, but also for the active cooperation of the government and private companies.

Authors: FOZILOV S. , ZOIROVA A. , FOZILOV Kh. , TUROBZHONOV S.
Published: September 2024

Currently, the attention of the oil and gas industry around the world is focused on the development of diesel fuel
production with improved environmental characteristics, containing a minimum amount of sulfur and aromatic hydrocarbons.
Our hypothesis that in small concentrations vegetable oil can improve the lubricating properties of fuel was
confirmed. For the experiment, our own summer diesel fuel Eco L 0.00-62, manufactured at the Bukhara Oil Refinery
based on the standard requirements DST 1134:2018, and vegetable oil (sunflower) produced based on our own requirements
DST 2438:2018 at EUROSNAR LLC were selected. The experiments showed that the addition of vegetable
oil improves the lubricating properties of diesel fuel, even if it does not meet GOST 6370-2018 for this parameter; in
percentage terms δ to diesel fuel, it almost linearly reduces the diameter of the scratch scar. As a result of the research,
the desired equation of dependence was obtained.

Authors: MALERONOK V. , POTAPOV V. , ROMANIONOK S.
Published: September 2024

Calculatical graphical method for checking the readings of tensometric sensors, which are used to measure aerodynamic
forces and moments, is proposed. The method is based on the calculation of the static composite structure
of the weight mechanism of the laboratory stand NTC-19.02 “Wind Tunnel”. The main forces and moments acting
on the structure were determined, the values of which were compared with the readings of strain gauges. In case
of discrepancy between the values obtained by measurement and calculation, a calibration graph was constructed and
a linear calibration equation was determined from it, followed by correction of the discrepant values.

Authors: Mavibaş Muhammet
Published: September 2024

Organizasyon, belirli bir amaca ulaşmak için paydaş bireylerin bir araya gelerek görev tanım ve sınırlarının belirli olduğu, akılcı bilimsel yolların kullanıldığı, iş bölümüne dayalı olarak birlikte uyum içinde hareket ettikleri bir yapıdır. Vatandaşlık, devlet ile bireyler arasında karşılıklı hak ve sorumluluklara dayalı, anayasa ve kanunlar ile belirlenen ilişkidir. ÖVD'nin daha iyi anlaşılabilmesi için, görev tanımına bağlı rol davranışları ile görev tanımının ötesine geçen ekstra rol davranışları arasındaki farkın bilinmesi önemlidir. Rol içi davranışlar, bir pozisyona atanmış kişinin yerine getirmesi gereken veya beklenen görev ve sorumluluklar olarak tanımlanır. Bu davranışlar önceden belirlenmiştir. ÖVD, çalışanların iş ortamına olumlu katkıda bulunmasının yanı sıra, işveren markası üzerinde de olumlu etkiler yaratır. Bu davranış biçimi, iş yerindeki sosyal atmosferi iyileştirerek çalışan memnuniyetini ve işe bağlılığı artırma potansiyeline sahiptir. Spor Bilimleri Fakültelerinde akademisyenler, temel görevlerinin yanı sıra fakültelerin gelişimine katkı sağlama sorumluluğuna sahiptir. ÖVD, akademisyenlerin sadece kendi kariyerleri için değil, aynı zamanda kurumlarının sosyal ve kültürel yapısını güçlendirmek adına sergiledikleri gönüllü ve özverili davranışları kapsamaktadır. Bu davranışların incelenmesi, akademik performans, iş tatmini, işbirliği ve kurumsal bağlılık üzerindeki etkilerini anlamak açısından önemlidir. Bu çalışma, spor bilimleri alanında örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışlarının özelliklerini, teşvik edilme yollarını ve bu davranışların akademik topluluk üzerindeki geniş kapsamlı etkilerini ortaya koymayı hedeflemektedir. Araştırma örneklem grubunu, ilgili fakültelerde çalışan toplam 332 akademisyen (224 erkek, 108 kadın) oluşturmaktadır. Çalışma, ilişkisel tarama modeline dayanarak yürütülmüştür. Veri toplama araçları arasında, araştırmacı tarafından hazırlanan Kişisel Bilgi Formu ve Basım ve Şeşen (2006) tarafından geliştirilen, 19 maddeden ve 5 alt boyuttan oluşan 6'lı Likert Tipi "Örgütsel Vatandaşlık Davranışı Ölçeği" yer almaktadır. Katılımcıların demografik özelliklerini değerlendirmek için frekans analizleri, ölçek puanlarının ise tanımlayıcı istatistiklerle incelenmesi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Cinsiyet ve idari pozisyon gibi değişkenlerin örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışları üzerindeki etkileri, bağımsız gruplar T-testi ile sınanırken; akademik unvan, mesleki ve kurumsal kıdem gibi değişkenler tek yönlü ANOVA ile analiz edilmiştir. Tukey Post-Hoc testi uygulanmıştır. Analizler sonucunda, cinsiyet değişkenine göre örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışları arasında anlamlı farklılıklar bulunurken, kurumsal kıdem süresi açısından bu farklılıklar gözlenmemiştir. Sonuçlar, kadın katılımcıların, erkeklerle kıyaslandığında örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışlarında daha yüksek düzeyler sergilediklerini ortaya koymaktadır; buna karşın, kurumsal kıdem süresi bazında tüm gruplar benzer düzeylerde örgütsel vatandaşlık davranışı göstermiştir.

The Importance of Offline Options for Online Learners
Authors: Ferguson Rebecca , Perryman Leigh-Anne , Ball Simon J.
Published: September 2024

The popularity of MOOCs and MOOC platforms prompted some universities to develop their first online courses, while others experimented with the format of existing online offerings. Despite the body of research identifying cognitive, metacognitive, and practical benefits of printed materials, there has been a shift towards an approach that privileges online resources, reducing opportunities to access resources offline or in printed form. Online courses can be produced more quickly and cheaply than those providing both printed and digital options. They can also benefit learners in a society that values digital skills and literacies. This paper, informed by the principles of universal design for learning (CAST 2018), asks ‘What are the benefits to students of offering downloadable/printable versions of online study materials and supporting offline study?’. It takes a phenomenological approach, exploring the experience of 100 postgraduate learners on an online course delivered on the FutureLearn platform. Data was extracted from a large dataset that included all the students’ course discussion postings (N = 17,158). Data analysis identified the importance of the online/offline divide and showed that, as students’ contexts change, the benefits and accessibility of online, offline and print versions shifts. Printed and digital materials support different ways of learning and can have an affective impact. These findings point to ways in which learning design, skills training, and technical changes might be used to increase the affordances of digital materials for learners.

PURPOSE. To study the clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with end-stage primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

METHODS. The study included 159 patients (318 eyes) with a median age of 72.2 years (64.7; 79.7), with end-stage POAG in one eye. All patients underwent a comprehensive ophthalmologic examination, with a thorough review of medical history and records. Data were processed by a single investigator with subsequent selective verification.

RESULTS. More than 50 clinical and demographic characteristics of patients with end-stage POAG were analyzed, focusing on four key factors: age, duration of follow-up, stage at the time of diagnosis, intraocular pressure (IOP), and history of incisional surgery. The IOP values significantly exceeded the target values, averaging 23 mm Hg (18; 32), indicating a need for more aggressive treatment. The mean disease duration before reaching the end stage of POAG was 3.9 years (0.7; 7.5). The progression of POAG was markedly asymmetric: patients with early-stage disease progressed to the end stage in 7 years (4; 12); those with moderate-stage disease progressed in 7.9 years (4; 11.9); and those with advanced-stage disease progressed in 4 years (2.2; 5.9). Regular monitoring (at least four times a year) was associated with a more than twofold delay in disease progression. The duration of disease ("up to" or "more than" 5 years) and previous surgical treatment ("yes" or "no") had an equal impact on disease development and its progression to the end stage, indicating that rather than the fact of surgery itself, the most crucial is the timing of surgery. Surgical intervention in patients with advanced stages of glaucoma, when followed up for more than 2 years (0.65; 4.6), was insufficiently effective, suggesting the need for earlier surgical intervention.

CONCLUSION. Aiming to facilitate a personalized approach to treatment, we created a risk assessment algorithm for the development of end-stage POAG for use in clinical practice.

Authors: Uzunova Veselina
Published: September 2024

In the rising new world order, following the collapse of the Soviet Union, confrontation and partnership alternated between US and Iranian policies on the situation in Afghanistan. It was viewed by both US and Iranian governments as a tricky, delicate and potentially turbulent zone of international relations. The present study examines the relations between the administrations of G. Bush, Bill Clinton and G. W. Bush and Iranian Presidents Rafsanjani and Khatami during the Afghan Civil War, the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent operation to overthrow the Taliban. In the light of the American troops withdrawal from Afghanistan announced by the US State Department earlier this year, the article offers a review of the US and Iranian policies in Afghanistan in the 1990s.

An exploration was conducted in Southern districts of Assam comprising of Karbiyanglong, Dima Hansao, Hailakandi and Karimgunj regions. With diverse agro climate coupled with varied soil and rainfall pattern, these regions are best suited for cultivating tuber crops and play significant role in food security of tribals inhabited. In hilly areas, tuber crops were grown mainly in jhums and in homestead farming, while in plains they are grown in small pockets under mixed cropping. Of the four districts explored, diversity in yam and taro were maximum in Karbianglong and Dima Hasao offering good scope for taxonomic studies. Farmers Interviewed during exploration reported a declining trend in the production and the number of local varieties maintained in individual farms since the past decade. The factors include displacement by other crops, little research attention, drought, short shelf life, shortage and non availability of planting material, limited knowledge among youth and susceptablity to new pests and diseases. In the present mission, a total of eighty nine (89) tuber crop species comprising of thirty five (35) yam, twenty eight (28) taro, eight (8) sweet potato, six (6) xanthosoma, five (5) tapioca, four (4) arrow root, two (2) elephant yam and one species of Stemona were collected. The study revealed that there is ample scope for multi-crop explorations combining crop wild relatives and landraces diversity.

Doğa, 19. yüzyıldaki teknik ve bilimsel gelişmeler ve onların akademi olarak kurumsallaşmasıyla felsefedeki öncelikli konumundan uzaklaşırken, araştırma nesnesi olarak doğa bilimlerinin konusu olmuştur. Genel olarak şeyleşme, bu bağlamda disiplinleşme sürecinde doğa bilimlerini takip eden sosyal bilimler doğayı, artık insanlık ideali varsayılan kültür, uygarlık, toplum vb. tasarımlarının karşısına yerleştirmiştir. Doğa ne ideal olandır ne ideanın araştırıldığı yerdir, o artık ilkel olanın en kapsamlı adıdır. Toplumsal düzlemde ise doğal olan, arkaik geçmişin bir anomali olarak modern döneme uzanan kalıntılarıdır. Özellikle antropolojide, modern insanın tarih-öncesi geçmişi araştırılırken ilkel kabul ettikleri topluluklar incelenmiş ve onların neden doğaya hükmedemedikleri ve medenileşemedikleri tartışılmıştır. Uygar kalıbının dışında kalan toplulukları doğa durumunda kabul ettiği için antroposantrist sayılabilecek bu geleneğin egemen olduğu dönemde, antropolog Bateson bu özcü anlatıları araştırmalarıyla eleştirmiştir. Topluluklar-arasını etkileşime dayalı bir alışveriş mantığıyla değil, ilişkisellik içerisinde değerlendirmiştir. Toplumsal değişimin evrensel bir mantığa sahip olabileceğini öne sürmüştür. Etnografyadan etolojiye varan incelemelerinde şizmogenez, yayla, rizom (köksap) gibi kavramlar üretmiştir. Deleuze-Guattari, kavramsallaştırma mantıkları düzenleme aracılığıyla, Bateson’ın kavramlarını alımlamış, türler arası farklılıklar yerine onların aynı düzlemde hangi koşullarda geçişlere sahip olduklarını tartışmışlardır. Bu çalışmada da antropolojiden felsefeye uzanan bu kavramsal geçişin bağlamsal olarak nasıl yeniden üretildiği öncelikle birincil kaynaklara başvurularak tartışılırken laytmotif olarak doğa ile kurulan düalizmlerin nasıl eleştirildiği gösterilmiştir.

Objective: To !nd evidence on the use of N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) in the perioperative period of liver transplantation, since NAC, as it is the acetylated precursor of L-cysteine and reduced glutathione, contributes to the hepatic supply of glutathione, helping the liver to recover from ischemia and reperfusion injury. Methodology: "is is a scoping review of the PubMed, VHL and Web of Science databases. "e descriptors “Liver transplantation”, “N-acetyl-cysteine” and “Reperfusion Ischemia” were used, with the Boolean operator “AND”, and articles relevant to the topic were selected. Initially, 60 articles were selected, all published in the last 24 years, in Portuguese and/or English. After analysis, eight articles corresponded to the proposed objective. Results:"e groups that received NAC during TxF showed post-reperfusion hypotension, lower intraoperative pH values, higher plasma concentrations of IL-4 and a signi!cant increase in IL-10 levels !ve minutes before reperfusion. Inhibition of α-glutathione S-transferase (α-GST) was also observed after reperfusion, unlike the control group, which showed a signi!cant increase in this enzyme. Furthermore, sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 levels were signi!cantly lower in the NAC group 24 hours after reperfusion compared with the placebo group. "e maximum AST value during the !rst 72 postoperative hours was similar in both groups, although the peak ALT was lower in the NAC group than in the placebo group. In grafts that received NAC in the perfusion solution, survival rates at 3 and 12 months were 93% and 90%, respectively, and in the control group were 82% and 70%, respectively. "e incidence of postoperative complications was 23% in the NAC group and 51% in the control group. "e incidence of EPD was lower for the NAC group, which was 15% versus 32% in the control group. Regarding the administration of NAC during the intraoperative TxF, the one-year patient survival rate was 78.4% in the NAC group compared to 80.9% in the placebo group. Conclusion: Intraoperative administration of NAC during the anhepatic phase was associated with a protective effect against reperfusion injury, however in other studies limitations were observed in protection against liver injury, in biomarkers of oxidative stress, in in$ammation and in the functioning of liver enzymes.

Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study was conducted at the Department of Pediatrics, Shifa International Hospital, from April 1, 2020, to April 30, 2021. All neonates born to COVID-19-positive mothers were included in the study and followed daily during their hospital stay. After obtaining parental consent, nasopharyngeal swabs were taken from the neonates for SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing at 24-48 hours of age. After discharge, follow-up calls were made between days 7-14. Data were entered into a predesigned proforma and analyzed using SPSS version 23. Results: A total of 82 neonates were enrolled. Approximately half were born at term, with a mean weight of >2500 grams. Forty-five neonates (53%) underwent SARS-CoV-2 PCR testing within 48 hours of age; all were negative. Sixty-one neonates (74%) were shifted to the mother’s care, while 25% required admission to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The most common reasons for NICU admission included respiratory distress (15%), prematurity (6%), and lethargy (5%). Radiological findings included ground-glass appearance in five neonates (6%) and lung consolidation or infiltrates in two (3%). Hematological and biochemical abnormalities included leukocytosis (7%), leucopenia (3.6%), anemia (1.2%), metabolic acidosis (6%), and respiratory acidosis (3.6%). Most neonates (78.6%) received routine care and were fed breast milk. Fourteen neonates (16.7%) required respiratory support, with 13% needing mechanical ventilation. Complications included pneumonia (7%) and respiratory failure (9%). NICU stay varied, with 11 neonates (13%) staying less than 48 hours and 10 (12%) requiring a more extended stay. Four neonates (5%) died due to multiorgan complications. Conclusion: The majority of neonates born to COVID-19-positive mothers remained asymptomatic. However, symptomatic neonates were at risk of serious complications, requiring close monitoring and management, particularly in those with additional risk factors.

Komunikasi dapat terjadi pada siapa saja, dimana saja, dan kapan saja. Sedari lahir manusia telah melakukan kegiatan berkomunikasi. Hal ini dibuktikan dengan menangisnya setiap bayi yang baru lahir. Menangis ialah satu-satunya cara bayi berkomunikasi dengan orang-orang di sekitarnya,hal ini mengacu pada firman Allah surah Ar Rahman (1-4) Allah yang maha pengasih, yang telah mengajarkan Al Qur’an, dia menciptakan manusia, mengajarkannya berbicara. Seiring pertumbuhan manusia, komunikasi akan terus terjadi sampai akhirnya seorang manusia itu meninggal dunia. Komunikasi adalah proses penyampaian atau penerimaan pesan dari satu orang kepada orang lain, baik langsung maupun tidak langsung, secara lisan, tulisan, maupun dengan menggunakan isyarat. Komunikasi dalam pendidikan merupakan unsure yang sangat penting kedudukannya, bahkan ia sangat besar peranannya dalam menentukan keberhasilan sebuah pendidikan. Banyak orang berkata bahwa tinggi rendahnya suatu pencapaian mutu pendidikan dipengaruhi oleh faktor komunikasi.

Published: September 2024

Islam is a religion of da'wah which always encourages its followers to always actively carry out da'wah activities. As a religion of da'wah, Islam requires its people to internalize, transmit, diffuse, transform and actualize Islamic law by various methods and media. The use of print media in the implementation of Islamic da'wah is called Islamic broadcasting. Islamic Broadcasting is all activities which purpose to disseminate the teachings of Islam to the public in order to understand and practice it. One of the communication media that can be utilized for Islamic broadcasting is the print media. Islamic broadcasting through print media has special advantages when compared to da'wah in verbal communication and also other media. Therefore, Islamic broadcasting through print media must be handled professionally which based on journalistic code of ethics in accordance with Islamic teachings. Thus, Islamic broadcasting in print media will give maximum results.

Communication between teacher and student in the implementation of learning is crucial to the acquisition of targeted learning outcomes, this is because the purpose of communication is the effort to deliver messages from the communicator to the communicant so that they have the same meaning. Same here the meaning is the same interpretation of a teacher who teaches in class to students. Children with physical impairment are children who have a damaged or disturbed condition as a result of impaired form or obstacles in the bones, muscles, and joints in their normal functioning. This condition can be caused by illness, accident or can be caused due to innate. Access to education for the physically disabled is no different from a normal child, they both have the right to obtain education such as gaining knowledge, abilities, and skills. Although many individual differences are expressed between one child and another, human rights remain the same as are the rights of extraordinary children the same as normal children. The communication strategy of Islamic religious education teachers is expected to be realized properly so that in the delivery of the material gets a foot back, For this reason, the authors convey the results of research in the form of Communication Strategies of Islamic Education Teachers for Tunadaksa children in LB LB YPAC Medan.
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor in environmentally induced cervical cancer: A Narrative review
Authors: Heidarnejad Fatemeh , Bolhassani Azam
Published: September 2024

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) plays a crucial role in cellular responses to various environmental pollutants, including several known carcinogens. As a ligand-activated transcription factor, AhR activation modulates the expression of genes involved in critical cellular processes, including detoxification pathways, cell proliferation and differentiation, and immune system regulation. The AhR exhibits pleiotropic effects under normal physiological conditions, contributing to the development and function of various organ systems. AhR activity is important in angiogenesis, cardiomyocyte differentiation, oocyte maturation, oculomotor nerve formation, and hematopoietic stem cell maintenance. Additionally, AhR plays a role in regulating immune cell differentiation and function, maintaining the integrity of the intestinal epithelium and its associated immune system, and mediating UVB-induced DNA damage repair responses in the skin. It acts as a critical environmental sensor, mediating cellular responses to various exogenous ligands. Importantly, activation or inhibition of AhR affects distinct signaling pathways depending on the specific ligand and cellular context. Ligands for the AhR are divided into exogenous or endogenous and have agonistic or antagonistic activity. Recently, the AhR role was determined in cancer development. It can exert both tumor-promoting and tumor-suppressive effects depending on factors such as the specific ligand, cell type, and tissue microenvironment. Emerging evidence suggests that AhR may represent a promising target for immunotherapy and serve as a potential biomarker for cervical cancer. AhR interacts with apoptotic pathway, immune checkpoint system, steroid hormones, and immune cell regulation process in cervical cancer. Despite its potential significance, the precise role of AhR in cervical cancer development and progression is still unknown. In this review, we describe significant roles of AhR in gynecological cancers; e.g., in cervical cancer.

Published: September 2024

Introduction:

The primary objective of this meta-analysis was to evaluate and compare the functional outcomes, postoperative reinfection rates, and complication rates in patients undergoing one-stage versus two-stage surgical revision for periprosthetic hip infection.

Methods:

The study population included adult patients who had undergone revision hip arthroplasty. Comparative studies have compared two-stage and one-stage revision strategies. Searches were conducted using the major databases. Review Manager software was used to estimate the effects. A sensitivity analysis was also conducted.

Results:

Nine cohort studies including 2,502 hips were included. The success rate did not show significant differences between the groups (odds ratio [OR] 0.42, 95% confidence interval 0.05 to 3.37). No difference was noted in reinfection (OR 0.81, 95% CI 0.56-1.19). Life quality per Harris Hip Score was higher for one-stage revision strategies (mean difference [MD] 9.00, 95% CI 2.23-15.78). No differences were noted in mortality, aseptic loosening, or revision rates. Age (MD 2.32, 95% CI 1.34-3.29) and body mass index (BMI) (MD 1.88, 95% CI 0.38-3.38) were lower in the two-stage group. Sinus tract presence was higher in the one-stage group (OR 1.44, 95% CI 1.05-1.95). Paprosky I acetabulum was higher in the one-stage group, and Paprosky III was higher in the two-stage group.

Conclusions:

The results did not demonstrate notable clinical differences between one-stage and two-stage hip arthroplasties, regardless of the treated microorganism. However, the quality of life may be somewhat better in the one-stage group. Age, body mass index, and Paprosky classification are factors that influence procedure selection.
