The Language of Pandemic and its Significance in Effective Communication
Authors: Haji Sismat Muhamad Alif
Published: April 2021

Effective communication is vital in delivering information to the public, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, to prevent misinformation that would trigger negative emotions. Pandemic-related terms often offer both positive and negative connotations. Therefore, word choice is crucial in ensuring that the information is understandable and relevant. These two significant criteria are two of the six principles for effective communication outlined by the World Health Organisation (WHO). The present study examines the significance of the language used during the pandemic in influencing current communication effectiveness. Therefore, an online questionnaire was designed and then distributed to Malay students at Sultan Sharif Ali Islamic University to know their perceptions of pandemic-related information in Malay and English. The respondents felt that the available information is clearly explained, concise, and relevant to the current situation based on the findings. Regardless of their English language proficiency, most of them are well-aware of the English terms. However, they prefer the information is available in their first language.

Published: April 2021

The purpose of this study is to describe ways of conceptualizing the Kazakh language from the perspectives of the representatives of the Kazakh nation. Language is a very important phenomenon for the people, which reflects their national characteristics. Of great interest is the conceptualization of the Kazakh language by representatives of the Kazakh linguoculture in the context of the situation when public opinion recognizes its position in general and its status as unsatisfactory rather than satisfactory. A special contribution of the author to the study of the topic is to conduct a free-associative experiment among native speakers of the Kazakh language on the stimulus-word “қазақ тілі”. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the obtained associative data were distributed according to the frequency criterion with subsequent modeling of the associative field and its cognitive structure. A free associative experiment was carried out among the native speakers of the Kazakh language. The results of the study demonstrate that the Kazakh language reflects the origins of the nation, its history and customs. The native language for the Kazakh ethnic group is associated with Motherland, pride and patriotism. Analysis of proverbs, sayings and literary contexts have shown that the Kazakh language is very rich and actualizes the beginning of upbringing and morality.
Utilization of Online Oral Reading Test in Determining the Reading Skills of the Grade 6 Pupils in English
Authors: NICOLAS VERONICA
Published: April 2021

Reading is every child’s foundation where great learning is involved and evidently proved one’s comprehension. Reading teachers play a vital role in assessing their pupils’ reading skills and administering intervention programs for learners’ reading development. This action research employed the Phil-IRI (Philippine Informal Reading Inventory) Oral Reading Test. This is an informal measure that assesses the pupils’ reading skills, both their reading speed and comprehension. It consists of graded reading passages from Grade I to Grade VI. Each graded passage is followed by 7 comprehension questions for Grades I-III and 8 comprehension questions for Grades IV-VI. The questions are categorized into three dimensions, namely literal, interpretive, and applied. Hence, reading speed and comprehension of the pupils will be classified into three levels as frustration, instructional and independent with the applied criteria given by the Phil-IRI. Furthermore, the results of the study exhibited that the ten groups of pupils demonstrated low reading performance in their oral reading test both in speed and comprehension. The struggle of the online oral reading test was evidently shown through the weak internet connection provided by the internet servers in the country.  With this, the researcher designed a reading intervention program through reading remedial class during asynchronous class. This will be administered using the online platform and available reading resources for the enhancement of pupils’ reading skills amidst these trying times of global pandemic, where distance learning has been practised first in the public schools’ setting in the Philippines.
The Element of Time in Waiting for Godot by Samuel Beckett
Authors: Abid Shazia
Published: April 2021

Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot (1952) is one of the most puzzling plays of the modern era. It is a play where nothing happens twice. Hence, the purpose of this research paper to explore the element of time in Beckett’s masterpiece Waiting for Godot (tragicomedy). The play is part of the ‘Theatre of Absurd’ and being an absurdist playwright, Beckett tends to explore the internal states of individual’s mind. It also explores the absurdity of modern man that how they are dwelling in a twilight state and unaware of their surroundings. This work is based on the belief that the universe is irrational, meaningless and the search for order brings the individuals into conflict with the universe. The study investigates existentialist’s point of views. In the play ‘Time’ represents very much dominating force as well as a tormenting tool to its characters.

Authors: Saqeb Khan Md Nazmus
Published: April 2021

Background: Different modalities are available for predicting severity and outcome of acute pancreatitis. A single marker with high sensitivity and specificity is yet to be identified.

Aim: This study intends to find out the utility of serum procalcitonin in predicting the severity and outcome of acute pancreatitis.

Methods: 117 patients admitted with acute pancreatitis were included.Clinical parameters and biochemical tests were recorded on admission, on day-3 & day-5 of admission. CT scan was performed in all patients. Serum procalcitonin was done on admission. Multifactorial scores were calculated using these data.Every patient was followed for identification of organ failure or other complications. Statistical analysis was done with SPSS.

Result: Among 117 patients, 67(57.3%) were male. Biliary, hypertriglyceridemia, alcohol, malignancy and post-ERCP complications were found as aetiology in 25(21.4%), 23(19.7%), 8(6.8%), 3(2.6%),2(1.7%) cases respectively. In 53(45.3%) cases no definite etiology could be found. 83(70.9%) patients had mild,15(12.8%) had moderately severe and 19(16.2%) had severe acute pancreatitis. 23(19.65%) patients developed complication, whereas 94 (80.34%) developed none. The mean serum procalcitonin(pg/ml) of patients with mild, moderately severe and severe disease was 146±165.21, 1297±439.44, 4361±1493.55 respectively. The difference among the groups were statistically significant. Mean serum procalcitonin(pg/ml) in patientswho developed complications was 3744±1827.05 and in those without complication it was 301±559.97.ROC curve evaluating the role of serum procalcitonin in predicting outcome of acute pancreatitis showed AUC of 0.985. A cutoff point of 1131.28pg/ml showed highest sensitivity (95.7%) & specificity (94.7%).

Conclusion: Serum procalcitonin can be a new promising marker to predict severity and outcome of acute pancreatitis.

Published: April 2021

Hypertensive crisis is a deadly complication that should be avoided at all costs, let alone when it is associated with a rare disease, such as Polyarteritis Nodosa (PAN). We present a case of an adult female who initially came to Bangladesh Medical College Hospital (BMCH) with a prolonged high-grade fever responding to antipyretics. Upon follow up, the patient went into a hypertensive crisis, which led to the admission to Coronary Care Unit (CCU). The hypertension was difficult to control until the culprit was revealed. Polyarteritis Nodosa was then diagnosed by angiography, which showed tight stenosis of the left renal artery. Prompt treatment was initiated, and the patient's blood pressure normalized. Our case highlights the importance of detecting such diseases, since it may be easily missed as it usually presents with nonspecific symptoms. Newly detected Hypertension in patients of any age should not be taken lightly and should be investigated promptly. We hope our case report sheds enough light on this issue for other clinicians and researches to identify and prevent later on.

Authors: Dhruba Avishek Sarker , Hasan Md Kamrul , Khan Md Azizul Islam
Published: April 2021

Background: Among the various options of treatment of ischemic heart disease coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains one of the standard modes of revascularization. Coronary artery bypass grafting can be done with or without using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). This study was to compare postoperative early (up to 1 month) outcome of intact versus open pleura after off pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB).

Methods: In this study, sixty patients aged 18-70 years admitted in Department of Cardiac Surgery, NICVD who underwent OPCAB were selected for the study sample and divided into two groups. Groups I (n=30) consist of the patients who underwent OPCAB with pleurotomy and Group II (n=30) consists of patients who underwent OPCAB with intact pleura. Outcome of patients including Forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) & Forced vital capacity were evaluated.

Results: Patients having OPCAB with intact pleura showed lower incidence of atelectasis and pleural Effusion in 2nd postoperative & 5th postoperative day (p<0.05). Lower amount of chest tube drainage and transfusion requirement were observed in group II patients than Group I (530.00 ± 28.97 vs. 485.96±38.62; p<0.05 and 611.23±99.22 vs. 577.93±135.38, p>0.05, respectively). Moreover, higher duration of ventilation were noted in group I (7.50 ± 2.22 vs. 6.30±2.32, p<0.05). Beside these, total duration of ICU stay & hospital stay were significantly higher in patients OPCAB with open pleura (p<0.05).

Conclusion: Keeping the pleura intact during OPCAB is significantly associated with low rate of atelectasis and pleural effusion. Clinically, it decreases postoperative amount of blood loss and significantly lowers ICU stay, mechanical ventilation time and hospital stay. Therefore, it can be concluded that intact pleura during OPCAB improves postoperative pulmonary outcomes.

Published: April 2021

Background: This echocardiographic study was undertaken to establish incidence, pattern & complications in patients of valvular heart disease.

Methods: A total of 97 patients were enrolled among the patients attended in echo lab at Ibrahim cardiac hospital & Research Institute over a period of 1 year.

Results: Mean age was 53.8±1.5 years. Male were predominant (58.76% vs 41.23%). Most common symptom was shortness of breath (60.8%) followed by palpitation (43.3%). 39.2% of patients had normal ECG & 12.4% revealed AF. The most common complication was pulmonary hypertension (54.6%) followed by pulmonary edema (26.8%), Stroke (10.3%), Left atrial thrombus (7.3%), & infective endocarditis (6.2%). MV was most commonly involved (72.2%) followed by aortic valve (AV) (66.0%), tricuspid valve (TV) (54.6%) & pulmonary valve (PV) was (20.6%). Rheumatic involvement (52.6%) constituted the dominant cause than degenerative & congenital (24.7% in each). Mitral stenosis (MS) was predominant (52.6%) & was rheumatic in origin; then aortic stenosis (AS) (48.5%) which was mostly degenerative followed by bicuspid aortic valve (8.2%). Mitral regurgitation (MR) was the most common valvular lesion (64.9%); then aortic regurgitation (AR) (51.5%) which was also rheumatic in etiology. Multiple valve involvement was also present. The most common variety was MS+MR (43.3%). Tricuspid stenosis (TS) was in association with MR+AR (1.03%). Tricuspid regurgitation (TR) was 58.8%, mostly secondary to rheumatic involvement of other valves. Severe TR (5.2%) was due to Ebstain anomaly and prolapse (4.1% & 3.1%). ventricular systolic & diastolic functions were normal mostly.

Conclusion: Among the rheumatic heart disease patients’ mitral valve was the most commonly affected valve. Mitral regurgitation was the most common valvular lesion. Rheumatic involvement remains the dominant cause of valvular heart disease in Bangladesh.

Published: April 2021

O uso de softwares para as áreas da saúde tem atingido destaque nos últimos anos. Todavia, ainda são escassos dados referentes a quantidade e as características estruturais daqueles que abordem sobre o desenvolvimento de crianças nos primeiros anos de vida e os determinantes neurobiológicos, sociais e ambientais que podem interferir nesse processo.  Este estudo objetivou realizar uma investigação documental em bases de dados indexadas e em aplicativos móveis sobre orientação para pais acerca do desenvolvimento infantil. Trata-se de um estudo de investigação documental, descritivo e de abordagem quantitativa. Para a busca de conteúdo teórico-científico e de aplicativos, a pesquisa realizada ocorreu em três etapas: 1) levantamento bibliográfico utilizando os descritores em bases de dados científicas Pubmed, via Medical Literature Analysis and Retrievel System Online (MEDLINE), Cochrane Library e Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS); 2) o levantamento de aplicativos para dispositivos móveis nas lojas virtuais Google Play e App Store, nas plataformas Android e iOS, respectivamente; 3) organização dos dados. Foram encontrados 199 artigos, porém, apenas 2 artigos destacaram-se sobre a eficiência na utilização de mensagens de texto e meios telefônicos sobre orientações para gestantes e puérperas. Na plataforma App Store um total de 425 aplicativos foram encontrados, entretanto, apenas 9 atendem os critérios de inclusão e exclusão, enquanto na Google Play 1149 foram encontrados e somente 29 contemplaram os critérios. Portanto, faz-se necessário o desenvolvimento de ferramentas tecnológicas com propostas mais didáticas, interativas e com conteúdo científico para pais sobre o desenvolvimento infantil.

Objetivo: Avaliar o gasto energético (GE) em um protocolo de treinamento resistido, com diferentes volumes de um peso fixo, pelo método em circuito alternado por segmento em homens treinados (TR) e destreinados (DT). Método: Compuseram a amostra, por voluntariado, 18 homens com idade entre 18 e 35 anos. Após serem informados sobre as etapas do projeto, os voluntários, realizaram uma avaliação da composição corporal, seguido dos testes de uma repetição máxima (1RM) e vinte repetições máximas (20RM), e posterior reteste. O protocolo consistiu em 3 sessões de treinamento em circuito com diferentes volumes (12, 16 e 20 repetições), com um peso fixo de 20RM nos exercícios: leg press, supino reto, mesa flexora e puxador frente; com intervalos de 1 minuto entre os exercícios e 2 minutos entre cada volta, totalizando 3 voltas por sessão. Para análise dos dados foi utilizado o software STATISTIC 7, adotando significância de p<0,05. Resultados: Verificou-se que os voluntários TR apresentaram maior trabalho total em relação aos voluntários DT nas sessões de 12 (TR=15820,80±2396,50; DT=10381,60±2660,374), 16 (TR=20919,95±3219,82; DT=12727,46±3143,99) e 20 repetições (TR=21957,24±3470,21; DT=12959,57±4084,05). O mesmo foi observado no GE dos exercícios nas sessões de 12 (TR=85,01±14,72; DT=64,34±15,43), 16 (TR=111,10±25,97; DT=74,24±20,03) e 20 repetições (TR=145,33±58,64; DT=78,69±24,21), e no GE/repetições nas sessões de 12 (TR=0,59±0,10; DT=0,44±0,11), 16 (TR=0,59±0,13; DT=0,43±0,12) e 20 repetições (TR=1,10±0,34; DT=0,43±0,13). Conclusão: O GE/repetições não foi afetado nas sessões próximas à falha concêntrica nesse protocolo para indivíduos DT, em contrapartida, para o grupo TR, quanto mais próximo da falha maior foi o GE/repetições.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi realizar um levantamento da prevalência de casos da SOP entre discentes da Faculdade Santa Maria, da cidade de Cajazeiras, Paraíba, analisando o método diagnóstico, medidas terapêuticas empregadas e o caráter genético atribuído à síndrome. O presente estudo foi desenvolvido de acordo com o delineamento de uma pesquisa quantitativa do tipo transversal observacional descritiva. Foram selecionadas 50 acadêmicas de forma não probabilística intencional. Os dados foram coletados através da aplicação de um questionário contendo dez perguntas. A análise dos dados revelou uma porcentagem de 24% das entrevistadas com o distúrbio, além disso, o método diagnóstico mais utilizado em tais casos foi ultrassonografia da pelve, citado por 46,2% das mulheres com SOP, seguido do exame clínico, representado pelas alterações no ciclo menstrual, que foi relatado por 30,8% destas participantes. Todas as entrevistadas com a síndrome relataram fazer algum tipo de tratamento e a medida terapêutica mais empregada foi o uso de anticoncepcionais orais, seguido da adoção de um estilo de vida saudável. Nenhuma das entrevistadas fazia uso de medicamentos sensibilizantes à insulina. O sintoma clínico mais comum entre estas mulheres foi a alteração do ciclo menstrual, presente em 91,6% delas. A média de idade entre as mulheres com SOP foi de 20,50 anos. Proporcionalmente, mais mulheres que relataram ter familiares com SOP tinham SOP. Tal dado sugere a condição genética envolvida na etiopatogenia da mesma, que também pode ser influenciada por fatores ambientais.

Published: April 2021

Trauma to the jaw can lead to fracture of the mandibular condyle. Prevalence in children is low and treatment should focus on possible long-term effects on facial bone and soft tissue growth. Trauma can result in dysfunction, facial asymmetry, mandibular retraction, dysfunction and stiffness of the temporomandibular joint. Clinical examination and imaging tests are essential to obtain an accurate diagnosis and an effective treatment to avoid possible complications. Treatment can be surgical or non-surgical, but non-surgical treatment is the method of choice in most cases. The aim of this study is to report a case of mandibular condylar fracture in a pediatric patient who underwent conservative and functional care who, with adequate monitoring by the Maxillofacial Surgery and Traumatology team and family, showed complete remodeling of the fractured bone and total recovery of the dental occlusion. Treatment in pediatric patients through conservative management allows an adequate range of mandibular movement and remodeling at the fracture site, but patient and family adherence to treatment is very important to obtain good results.

As plantas medicinais são usadas como recurso alimentar e terapêutico pelas civilizações ao longo da história da humanidade. Entretanto, o conhecimento ao nível biológico é pouco discutido em sala de aula. Sendo assim, o objetivo do estudo foi realizar o levantamento dos conhecimentos dos estudantes do Ensino Médio sobre o uso das plantas medicinais para fins terapêuticos em uma escola pública do estado do Piauí. Dessa forma, os dados foram coletados por formulário eletrônico e aplicado com 33 alunos do Ensino Médio da rede pública de ensino no Estado do Piauí. Em seguida, os dados foram submetidos a análise estatística descritiva de frequência e categorias analíticas para os dados qualitativos. Os alunos citaram 17 exemplares de plantas, onde o chá e as folhas foram as principais formas de uso e preparo, respectivamente. As plantas eram usadas, principalmente no tratamento de problemas respiratórios e gastrointestinais, sendo que, os exemplares mais citados foram hortelã e erva-cidreira. Observou-se ainda que, os alunos tinham conhecimento fragmentado sobre as finalidades terapêuticas das plantas medicinais e os possíveis danos causados ao material genético. As plantas por serem um recurso natural, os alunos acreditavam que não causavam danos ao organismo. Assim, verifica-se que o conhecimento tradicional sobre as plantas medicinais está presente na vida dos alunos, apesar do pouco conhecimento científico associado.

Objetivo: compreender os fatores que influenciam no processo de não autorização da doação de córneas no Estado do Maranhão. Método: estudo qualitativo, analítico, pautado na teoria das representações sociais. Os dados foram coletados de julho a agosto de 2019. Resultados: os resultados apontaram para fatores negativos que influenciam a recusa familiar, como a discordância entre os responsáveis sobre a doação, a falta de discussão sobre o tema, o medo da burocracia atrasar a liberação do corpo morto, as convicções religiosas sobre a necessidade de manter os olhos íntegros após a morte, os sentimentos de desespero e responsabilidade para deliberar sobre o corpo entregue pela instituição hospitalar, a urgência de iniciar os rituais de luto, a falta de humanização na assistência anterior à morte e a suspeita de negligência médica. Dois fatores que poderiam influenciar para a doação são: identificar, para os familiares, o nome do receptor e discutir anteriormente a doação de órgãos. Conclusão: As dificuldades para a doação da córnea acontecem, em menor frequência, no período anterior ao óbito (desacordo entre familiares). As dificuldades que ocorrem, depois do óbito, são de natureza sociocultural. A urgência dos rituais de separação, a responsabilidade súbita pelo corpo morto, a não identificação do receptor e as representações sociais sobre os olhos do morto constituem-se em barreiras à doação. Como medidas, sugerem-se o fomento a campanhas de publicidade sobre a importância da doação e a implementação de equipe de apoio especializado para oferecer suporte às famílias de potenciais doadores.

Published: April 2021

The dysfunctional immunoinflammatory response to SARS-CoV-2 infection leads to excessive infiltration of monocytes, macrophages and T cells, non-neutralizing antibody, systemic cytokine storm, microthrombi mediated by tissue factor and oxidative stress, lower platelet counts, increased D-dimer, C-reactive protein and coagulation abnormalities, increased vascular permeability, pulmonary edema and pneumonia, and widespread inflammation and multi-organ damage. Periodontal diseases have a chronic and multifactorial inflammatory profile, of infectious origin, with bidirectional systemic interactions linked to over 50 systemic conditions/diseases. Immunoinflammatory response of periodontal tissues to the microbial challenge, protective/repair response and the local destruction of periodontium influence and are influenced by systemic conditions/diseases. Renin-angiotensin system/ACE inhibitors are also related to pathogenesis of COVID-19 by SARS-CoV-2-ACE2 and to pathogenesis of periodontitis, through bone resorption regulated by the ACE2/Ang-(1-7)/MasR axis and IL1-b, positive regulation of the kinin/receptor pathway B2 due to Toll-like receptor 2 inflammation and Th1/Th17 responses, the expression of the type 1 angiotensin II receptor in the inflamed gingival tissue, and modulating IL-1β-induced IL-6 production in human gingival fibroblasts. It is possible that SARS-CoV-2 infection increases local inflammatory events in periodontal tissue leading to destruction of periodontal tissues, probably enhanced by the systemic effects of periodontitis. Despite limited or non-existent scientific evidence on the effects of COVID-19 on periodontal diseases and their systemic interactions to date, it is possible to expect its impact on periodontal medicine research from the natural history of periodontal diseases to their pathogenesis and relationship with systemic conditions and response to treatment, as an environmental and acquired risk factor.

Published: April 2021

Este estudo objetivou identificar quais são os impactos do coronavírus em pacientes cardiopatas. Trata-se de uma pesquisa de revisão integrativa de literatura. A busca dos artigos científicos foi realizada nas seguintes bases de dados:  Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS), Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (LILACS), Scientific Eletronic Library Online (SciELO) e PubMed. Foram selecionados 7 artigos para compor o atual estudo entre 2020 - 2021, posteriormente foram elaboradas discussões acerca dos estudos. Os manuscritos corroboram que os pacientes cardiopatas têm maiores riscos de desenvolverem a forma grave da COVID-19 e que muitas vezes esses pacientes acabam com lesões cardíacas após sua recuperação. Conclui-se que a contaminação pela COVID-19 agrava os danos ao coração e os cardiopatas facilmente desenvolvem a forma grave da doença.

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has contributed to the onset of various skin diseases, including skin cancer. Consequently, there are a series of incentives for research and development of innovative photoprotectors that can provide protection against such health problems. With the growing consumer interest in cosmetic products of natural origin, there has been an increase in new proposals such as the replacement of synthetic assets with molecules extracted from medicinal plants that present activity compatible or superior to synthetic products and with lesser environmental impact. Natural photoprotectors are gaining attention within this scenario, and some previous studies have demonstrated their potential for use. A literature review was conducted on the main groups and active principles of plants with photoprotective activity and for this purpose we used national and international scientific articles from the Medline/PubMed, SCIELO, LILACs, Science Direct, Scopus and Google Scholar databases. We mentioned 17 different species of medicinal plants with photoprotective action and their respective active ingredients. The flavonoid group was the most cited and studied in relation to the protective capacity against ultraviolet radiation and its isolated action and synergistic action was highlighted. Studies show that plant extracts from different plant species have a photoprotective action, among which they highlight the rich in antioxidant compounds, such as plants of the species Ginkgo biloba, Psidium guajava, Camellia sinensis and Lippia sp. which stand out for their large amount of polyphenols, especially flavonoids.
Na teia do saber: Utilizando o filme “Aracnofobia” para potencializar a aprendizagem de Zoologia no Ensino Médio
Authors: Gonçalves Tiago Maretti
Published: April 2021

A Zoologia é a área da Biologia que se preocupa em estudar a vida dos animais, em relação aos seus aspectos taxonômicos, filogenéticos, ecológicos e morfofisiológicos. Dotada de muitos termos, essa área é encarada por muitos alunos como de difícil contextualização. Para superarmos tal problemática, o presente trabalho possui como principal objetivo apresentar e discutir as potencialidades do filme “Aracnofobia”, bem como, apresentá-lo como um recurso didático para explorar temas da Zoologia visando contribuir no processo da aprendizagem dos discentes na disciplina de Biologia no Ensino médio. Desse modo, por meio do filme proposto, o professor poderá trabalhar com os alunos toda a parte de estrutura e função das aranhas, bem como discutir e problematizar questões sobre animais peçonhentos e instruir os alunos sobre boas práticas para evitar acidentes com esses organismos nas suas casas. Outra questão interessante, é a oportunidade de levar informações aos alunos sobre acidentes com esses animais, fato esse que ocorre rotineiramente em todo o Brasil. Além disso, essa atividade pode ser um eixo integrador para despertar o interesse dos alunos sobre questões ligadas a conservação, preservação das espécies, e até mesmo a relações ecológicas das aranhas no ecossistema.

Şahit görerek bildiği bir olayı veya bir şahsın başkası üzerindeki hakkını hâkimin huzurunda “şahitlik ederim” diyerek haber veren kimseyi ifade eder. İslâm ceza hukukunda şahit beyanı, ikrardan sonra en kuvvetli ispat vasıtası kabul edilir. Ancak mahkemede bir olaya tanıklık eden şahidin kendiliğinden şahitliğinden dönmesi mümkün olduğu gibi hâkimin telkini sonucu da dönmesi mümkündür. Şahit gerek hüküm verilmeden önce gerek hüküm verilip infaz edilmeden önce şahitliğinden dönerse şahitliği hiç yapılmamış gibi geçersiz olur. Bu sebeple İslam hukukukçuları hâkimin mahkeme esnasında şahide şahitliği ile ilgili herhangi bir telkinde bulunup bulunmayacağını tartışma konusu etmişlerdir. İslam hukukçularının cumhuru insan hakları ile ilgili davalarda hâkimin şahide hiçbir şekilde telkinde bulunmasının caiz olmadığını söylerken bazıları bunun caiz olduğunu söylemişlerdir. Allah hakları kapsamına giren had davalarında hâkimin şahide şahitliğinden vazgeçmesini ya da şahitliğinden dönmesini telkin edip edemeyeceği konusunda da İslam hukukçuları ihtilafa düşmüşlerdir. Çoğunluk hâkimin bu konularda şahide telkinde bulunmasını caiz görürken bazıları bunun caiz olmadığını ileri sürmüşlerdir. Bu çalışmada hâkimin şahide şahitliği ile ilgili herhangi bir telkinde bulunmasının caiz olup olmadığı meselesini ele aldık.

We aimed to explore the population dynamics of snail in 3 sites of the White Nile in Sudan. More specifically, we aimed to investigate the annual patterns of snail populations that act as intermediate hosts of schistosomes and monthly snail infection rates and ecological characteristics presumably related to snail populations. We collected snails for 1 year monthly at 3 different shore sites in the vicinity of El Shajara along the White Nile river in Khartoum State, Sudan. In addition, we measured air and water temperatures, water turbidities, vegetation coverages, and water depths and current speeds. Most of the collected snails were Biomphalaria pfeifferi and Bulinus truncatus. The population densities of snails and their infection rates varied across survey sites. The collected snails liberated S. mansoni and S. haematobium cercariae as well as Amphistome and Echinostome cercariae. Infected snails were found during March-June. The ecological characteristics found to be associated with the absence of snails population were: high turbidity, deep water, low vegetation coverage (near absence of vegetation), high water temperature, and high current speed. To our knowledge, this is the first longitudinal study of the snail population and ecological characteristics in the main basin of the White Nile river.

Bacteremia induced by wound myiasis is uncommon and therefore rarely suspected by clinicians when treating patients with neglected wounds. We present a case of Ignatzschineria larvae bacteremia as a complication of Lucilia sp. maggot wound myiasis in a young male migrant. This is the first reported human case of Ignatzschineria bacteremia in Slovenia and one of the 2 described in the literature where the fly larvae infesting the wounds of the patient with Ignatzschineria bacteremia were not only suspected to be Lucilia sp. but also entomologically identified.

Human infection with Taenia asiatica or a hybrid between Taenia saginata and T. asiatica has not been reported in Cambodia. We detected for the first time a hybrid form between T. saginata and T. asiatica in Preah Vihear Province, Cambodia. An adult tapeworm specimen, i.e., 75 cm long strobila without scolex, was expelled from a 27-year-old man after praziquantel medication and purging. It was morphologically indistinguishable between T. saginata and T. asiatica. Several proglottids were molecularly analyzed to confirm the tapeworm species. The mitochondrial gene encoding cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 (cox1) and nuclear genes encoding elongation factor-1α (ef1) and ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM)-like protein (elp) were sequenced, and a single-allele analysis was performed to confirm the haploid genotype. The results revealed that our sample showed a discrepancy between the mitochondrial and 2 nuclear genes. It possessed homozygous sequences typical of T. saginata at cox1 and ef1 loci. However, it was heterozygous at the elp locus, with 1 allele in T. asiatica (elpA) and 1 in T. saginata (elpC), which indicates that it is a hybrid between T. saginata and T. asiatica. The present results confirmed the presence of a hybrid between T. saginata and T. asiatica in Cambodia and strongly suggest the existence of also ‘pure’ T. asiatica in Cambodia.

In developing countries, the informal sector plays a diverse role, from eradicating poverty to polluting the environment. Perhaps, due to inadequate awareness and scanty literature, the aspect remained ignored. This study was an attempt to determine the simultaneous relationship between environment, informal sector, and poverty. This study was based on panel data study of three countries, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and India. ARDL approach was used to measure the size of the informal sector economy of Pakistan, India, and Bangladesh. The generalized momentum (GMM) method was applied to determine the environment's simultaneous effects, on poverty, and the informal sector economy. The outcomes unveiled that informal sector employment and poverty expedited the carbon dioxide emission in three countries such as India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Secondly, poverty and CO2 emissions had a positive association with the informal sector whereas thirdly, there was a negative impact of the informal sector economy and CO2 emissions on the poverty. This study urges to channelize the informal sector because it can contribute towards poverty reduction in a better way once its channelized and provision of adequate awareness among the people regarding judicious use of natural resources. For instance, climate smart agriculture, sustainable farming and Good Agricultural Practices have been implemented to curtail the CO2 emissions from agriculture sector. The needs are to provoke other sectors as well followed by the initiation of legal restrictions on CO2 emissions

Bu makale kapsamında, geçmiş dönemde yaşanmış yürüyen merdiven kazaları için kaza karakteristikleri ve risk faktörlerini dikkate alarak istatistiksel bir değerlendirme yapılması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda 2013-2018 yılları arasında Türkiye’de yaşanmış 485 yürüyen merdiven kazası incelenmiştir. Bu çalışma kapsamında yaşanmış kazalar ile ilgili veriler İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği Bilgi Yönetim Sistemleri üzerinden toplanmış olup, kazanın yeri, zamanı, yaş, cinsiyet, iş tecrübesi gibi kazazedeye yönelik tanımlayıcı bilgiler ile yaralanma durumu, iş göremezlik süreleri gibi kaza sonucuna ait bilgiler elde edilmiştir. İstatistiksel analizlerden sonra elde edilen sonuçlar ışığında, kazaların yaralanma türlerine göre toplamda 10 farklı kategoride yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bu kategoriler içinde yüzeysel yaralanma ile sonuçlanan kazalar (%40,6) ilk sırada olup 308 iş günü kaybına sebep olmuştur. Burkulma, incinme başlığında yer alan kazalar tüm kazaların %23,2’si, açık yara ile sonuçlanan kazalar ise tüm kazaların %13’ünü oluşturmaktadır. Tüm kazaların %77,1’i 3 ve daha az iş günü kayıplı kazalardan oluşmaktadır. Mevcut kaza verilerine dayalı olarak hazırlanan bu çalışma çıktıları itibariyle yürüyen merdiven kazalarını önleme ve yürüyen merdivenlerle ilgili önleyici tedbirlerin alınmasında önceliklendirilecek çalışmalara karar verme noktasında katkı sunmaktadır.
