Published: December 2024

Abstract. Modern demographic data indicate a constant increase in the quantity older people in the general population structure. With age, the body is affected by many factors that lead to senile asthenia syndrome. The study is devoted to the evaluation of the influence of senile asthenia syndrome on older patients' treatment in emergency abdominal surgery for improvement.
Materials and methods of the study. Examination and evaluation of the treatment results of 161 (100.0%) patients was based on the Municipal non-commercial enterprise "City Hospital of Emergency and Rapid Medical Care". In the first part of the group, 81 (50.3%) patients were diagnosed with cholelithiasis (CHD) and acute cholecystitis. The second part of the group of 80 (49.7%) patients was diagnosed with perforation of a stomach or duodenal ulcer. All patients were examined and operated urgently. Senile asthenia syndrome was assessed using the Edmonton Freil scale [11]. Markers of senile asthenia were: total protein, albumin, somatotropic hormone and interleukin 6.
Results: It was established that hypoproteinemia with a total protein level indicators of 61.35 (55.00; 70.00) g/l, p = 0.0009, U = 1224.0 and dysproteinemia was determined in the main study group. The albumin level in the main group is also significantly reduced - 29.75 (24.70; 35.70) g/l, p = 0.0072, U = 2268.0. The level of somatotropic hormone was considerably lower in the main group 0.89 (0.12, 1.28) mlU/l compared to the comparison group 2.40 (0.33, 3.96) mlU/l, p = 0.0030, U = 2248.5. This indicated the presence of sarcopenia syndrome. The interleukin 6 level in both study groups exceeded the norm. A significant increase in the frequency and mortality of postoperative complications was determined in the group of asthenia patients.
Conclusions. The frequency of senile asthenia syndrome was 50.3% among patients in emergency abdominal surgery. The Edmonton Freil scale can be a quick and effective method of diagnosing senile asthenia syndrome in emergency abdominal surgery.

Nexus between Environmental Quality with Economics Growth, Renewable Energy Consumption, and Foreign Direct Investment in Vietnam: Evidence from non-linear ARDL approach
Authors: Nam Le Phuong , Lan Pham Thanh , Hieu Nguyen Manh , Tiep Nguyen Cong , Hang Nguyen Thi Bich , Eluriaga Louie Marie
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between economic growth and environmental quality in Vietnam.
Methodology: The research employed is the non-linear Autoregressive Distributed Lag (NARDL) approach, utilizing time-series data from 1986 to 2022. The strength of NARDL lies in its consideration of both increasing and decreasing trends in independent variables such as Economic Growth, Energy from Renewable Resources and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in a non-linear relationship with the dependent variable, CO2.
Findings: The research findings indicate that overall economic growth is positively associated with an increase in CO2 emissions, aligning with the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) theory in the first stage of the inverted U-shape. However, the EKC hypothesis is not supported in later stages, as environmental degradation persists despite economic growth. Renewable resources in primary energy have increased from 6% in 1986 to 16% in 2022, while FDI has risen from 0.03% of GDP in 1986 to 4.3% of GDP in 2021, resulting in a reduction in CO2 emissions. In other words, the Pollution Haven Hypothesis does not hold in Vietnam. With a net-zero CO2 target by 2050, Vietnam necessitates rapid, short-term changes to neutralize carbon emissions effectively in the long term.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: To simultaneously ensure economic growth while adhering to Vietnam's carbon neutrality objectives, followings solutions are recommended: (1) increasing the proportion of renewable energy sources and reducing fossil fuel dependency; (2) incorporating modern, environmentally friendly technologies in the industrial sector to diminish resource-intensive practices and reduce dependence on fossil fuels; (3) establishing a legal framework and conditions to attract FDI in technology-intensive sectors, thereby mitigating carbon emissions.

An Analysis on the Influence of Market Access and International Trade on the Philippine Agricultural Sector: A Heckscher-Ohlin Approach
Authors: Robale Ashley Denise , Ballesteros Jewel d.F. , Camaro Peter Jeff C.
Published: December 2024

Purpose: The study aims to evaluate the applicability of the Heckscher-Ohlin Theory by examining the impact of market access, international trade, labor force participation rate, and agricultural land area on the Philippine agricultural sector.
Methodology: A quantitative research method was used in this study, which employs the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis, along with several diagnostic tests. The study adopts a time-series approach, using data from the Philippines spanning the period 1991 to 2021 at the national level.
Findings: Results show that improved market access and international trade significantly drive agricultural growth in the Philippines by offering farmers better opportunities and expanding access to larger global markets, thereby boosting productivity and economic development. Meanwhile, the labor force participation rate and land area for agriculture show positive but statistically insignificant relationships with the sector.
Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: The study recommends that policymakers prioritize securing stable import channels for essential agricultural inputs to enhance the competitiveness of the Philippine agricultural sector. By focusing on trade agreements that reduce tariffs on key imports such as fertilizers, machinery, and seeds, policymakers can help reduce production costs for local producers, making them more competitive in the global market. This approach not only supports export growth but also contributes to long-term economic development by fostering a more efficient and sustainable agricultural sector.

Abstract: Purpose: To present an evidence-based guideline for non-vital pulp therapies due to deep caries or trauma in primary teeth. Methods: The authors, working with the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, conducted a systematic review/meta-analysis for studies on non-vital primary teeth resulting from trauma or caries and used the GRADE approach to assess level of certainty of evidence for clinical recommendations. Results: GRADE was assessed from high to very low. Comparing teeth with/without root resorption, pulpectomy success was better (P<0.001) in those without preoperative root resorption. Zinc oxide plus iodoform plus calcium hydroxide ([ZO/iodoform/CH]; EndoflasTM) and zinc oxide and eugenol (ZOE) pulpectomy success did not differ from iodoform (iodoform plus calcium hydroxide; VitapexTM, MetapexTM) (P=0.55) after 18-months; however, ZO/iodoform/CH and ZOE success rates remained near 90 percent while iodoform was 71 percent or less. Network analysis ratings showed ZO/iodoform/CH and ZOE better than iodoform. Lesion sterilization tissue repair (LSTR) was better (P<0.001) than pulpectomy in teeth with preoperative root resorption, but pulpectomy results were better (P=0.09) if roots were intact. Rotary instrumentation of root canals was significantly faster (P<0.001) than manual, but the quality of fill did not differ (P=0.09) and both had comparable success. Network analysis ranked ZO/iodoform/CH the best, ZOE second, and iodoform lowest at 18 months. Success rates were not impacted by method of obturation or root length determination, type of tooth, number of visits, irrigants, smear layer removal, or timing/type of final restoration. Conclusions: Pulpectomy 18-month success rates supported ZO/iodoform/CH and ZOE pulpectomy over iodoform. LSTR had limited indication for teeth with resorbed roots and requires close monitoring.

Authors: Ceylan Mehmet Akif
Published: December 2024

Türkiye’de bugüne kadar coğrafi terimlerin kökeni (etimolojisi) konusunda maalesef müstakil bir çalışma yapılmamıştır. Bu sebeple makalenin öncelikli amacı, coğrafi terimlerin kökeni konusunda akademik anlamda bir farkındalığın oluşturulmasına katkı sağlamaktır. Çünkü coğrafya biliminin çok zengin kavram ve terim birikimine sahip olması, her türlü yazılı ve sözlü coğrafi anlatımda onlarca farklı terimin kullanılması konunun önemini artırmaktadır. Makalenin hazırlık aşamasında yerli ve yabancı alanyazın oldukça ayrıntılı bir şekilde gözden geçirilmiş, uluslararası yayınlarda etimolojik olarak Türkçe olduğu belirtilen coğrafi terimler ayırt edilmiştir. Şüphesiz makalede ele alınanlardan başka henüz ulaşılamayan ve daha yerel kullanılan Türkçe coğrafi terimler de mevcuttur. Çalışmada dünya coğrafya literatürüne giren ve halen uluslararası literatürde kullanılan Türkçe balkan, barkan, bergamot, menderes, takır, tayga, tundra ve yardang terimleri ele alınmış, bunların kökeni, coğrafi özellikleri ve tanıtımı üzerinde durulmuştur. Makalede ele alınan Türkçe terimlerin esasen her biri ayrı bir makalenin konusu olabilecek kadar genişliğe sahiptir. Bununla birlikte makalenin kapsamı da dikkate alınarak bu terimlerin etimolojik ve coğrafi özellikleri imkân dâhilinde nispeten ayrıntılı olarak açıklanmıştır. Çalışmanın hazırlanmasında nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden ve doküman analizinden yararlanılmıştır. Ayrıca terimlerle ilgili fotoğraf, şekil ve harita gibi açıklamaları zenginleştirici görsel malzemenin verilmesine gayret edilmiştir. Çalışma konusu yapılan Türkçe coğrafi terimlerin çoğunlukla 19. ve 20. yüzyıllarda Türk dünyasının farklı bölgelerinden uluslararası literatüre girdiği, halen özgün ve yaygın bir şekilde kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Terimler bergamot dışında imla ve anlam özelliklerini de büyük ölçüde korumayı başarmıştır.

Published: December 2024

Türkiye’nin medikal turizmdeki potansiyeli sürekli olarak artmakta ve belirli büyük şehirler çerçevesinde gerçekleştirilmektedir. Kayseri ise sağlık ve turizm altyapısı açısından yüksek potansiyele sahip olup, medikal turizme önemli katkılar sunabilecek kapasiteye ulaşmıştır. Bu çalışma ile Kayseri ilinin medikal turizmde marka kent olma potansiyelini SWOT analiziyle ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Nitel araştırma kapsamında on kişiyle yarı yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yapılarak ve yapay zeka platformu olan ChatGPT-4o uygulamasından aynı sorular sorularak veriler toplanmıştır. Görüşmeler esnasında literatür ve uzman görüşlerinden yararlanarak hazırlanan sekiz soru katılımcılara sorulmuş, cevaplar ses kaydına alınmıştır. Hem uzman görüşleri hem de ChatGPT-4o uygulamasından toplanan verilerle SWOT analizleri ve karşılaştırmalar yapılmıştır. Yapılan karşılaştırma sonrasında güçlü yönlerde elde edilen benzerlikler; sağlık altyapısının iyi olması, uzman sağlık çalışanlarının varlığı, şehrin Kapadokya bölgesinde yer alması, fiyat avantajı şeklindedir. Zayıf yönlerdeki benzerlikler; yurt dışından uçuşların aktarmalı olması, tanıtım ve pazarlama faaliyetlerinin yetersizliği, medikal turizm konusunda nitelikli personel eksikliği ve kurumlar arası iş birliğinde yetersizlik olmuştur. Fırsatlarda; uygun fiyatlı sağlık hizmetlerinin sunumuyla yüksek talep potansiyeli, medikal turizm ile turizm faaliyetlerinin entegre edilebilirliği, devlet teşvikleri şeklinde benzerlik göstermiştir. Tehditlerdeki benzerlikler ise İstanbul, Antalya ve İzmir şehirlerinin üstün rekabet gücüne sahip olması, medikal turistlerin Türkiye’yi güvenlik açısından riskli görmesi ve meydana gelebilecek istenmeyen durumların olumsuz yorumlarla uluslararası imajı zedeleme riskinin olması şeklindedir. Kayseri ilinin medikal turizm konusunda marka kent haline gelmesi için paydaşların daha güçlü iş birliği içinde olması, profesyonel düzeyde tanıtım ve pazarlama çabalarına önem verilmesi, nitelikli personel yetiştirilmesi, Kapadokya ve Erciyes’in turizm avantajının medikal turizme entegrasyonu, diaspora potansiyelinin değerlendirilmesi, charter uçuşların organize edilmesi, aracı kuruluş sayısının artırılması önerilmiştir.

Authors: Solmaz Mustafa
Published: December 2024

Gizemlileştirme tekniğinin eşitsizliklerin ve iktidarın kaynağında yer aldığını Goffman’ın teorisinden hareketle ortaya koymak, çalışmanın amacını oluşturmaktadır. Bunun için öncelikle Goffman’ın teorisinin anahatlarına yer verilmiştir. Onun ön, arka ve dış bölge kavramsallaştırmaları incelenmiştir. Sonra ön bölge’nin temel bileşenleri olan set, vitrin, görünüş ve tutum kavramlarının neler olduğu, onlardan ne anlamamız gerektiği ifade edilmiştir. Daha sonra ise bireylerin sahne önündeki performanslarda müracaat ettikleri üretken tekniklere yer verilmiştir. Dramatik canlandırma, idealize etme, ifade denetiminin elde tutulması, yanlış sunum, gerçeklik ve düzmece, gizemlileştirme teknikleri genel hatlarıyla açıklanmış ve sonra gizemlileştirme’ye ağırlık verilmiştir. Gizemlileştirme’nin teorik temellerinin Cooley’e kadar götürülebileceği ve işlevinin, performansı sergileyenler ile seyirciler arasındaki mesafeyi açmak olduğu öne sürülmüştür. Böylelikle seyirciler üzerinde performansı sergileyenlere dair bir hayranlık ve üstünlük izlenimi oluşur. Gizemlileştirme ve iktidar ayrılamaz, gizem artarsa iktidar güçlenir, gizem azalırsa iktidar da ortadan kalkar. Çalışma, ikincil veri analizine dayandırılmıştır. Bir saha veya anket çalışması değildir. Derleme bir çalışmadır ve literatür taraması yöntemine müracaat edilerek hazırlanmıştır. Literatür taraması yöntemine bağlı olarak hazırlanan bu çalışmanın sonucunda, gizem ve iktidarın birbirleriyle yakından ilişkili olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Özgürlük için iktidarın ve tahakkümün altındaki gizemin ifşa edilmesi gerektiği vurgulanmıştır.
MASALLARDA KADIN TEMSİLİ: FEMİNİST YENİDEN YAZIMIN İMKÂNLARI ÜZERİNE BİR DEĞERLENDİRME
Authors: Tokdemir Kinem
Published: December 2024

Masallar, egemen kültürün unsurlarına göre şekillenen ve bulunduğu kültürün izlerini taşıyan edebi metinlerdir. Masal metinlerinde kadın karakterlere biçilen roller kimi zaman iyiliği simgeleyen toplumsal cinsiyet rollerine uygun ideal bir kadın tipi iken; kimi zaman da kötülüğü simgeleyen cadı imajıyla resmedilir. Kurtarıcı rolüyle erkekler ise, etkin ve bağımsız bir öznedir. Böylece masallarda ötekileştirilen konumu ile kadın karakterlerin temsili; masalların popüler kültür içine yerleşerek kültürden kültüre, ülkeden ülkeye aktarılmasıyla yeniden üretilir. Grimm Masalları’ndan klasik ‘Külkedisi’ masalında kadın karakterlere biçilen geleneksel roller, erkek egemen bakış açısını yansıtır. Bu masalın yeniden yazılan formlarında ise, klasik masallarda kadınlara dikte edilen rollerden farklı bir kadın temsilinin sunulması hedeflenmiştir. Bu çerçevede, feminist yeniden yazımın örnekleri olan bu masallarda kadın karakterlerin temsili konusunda önemli değişiklikler olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Feminist yeniden yazım iktidar, toplumsal cinsiyet hiyerarşisi, cinsiyetçilik gibi konuları odağa alarak; eleştirel bir mesafe ile masallar gibi sıklıkla dolaşıma giren metinlerde kadınlara biçilen cinsiyetçi rolleri ve ataerkil söylem ve pratikleri alt üst etmeyi hedefler. Kısaca bu çalışmanın amacı; masalların feminist mücadelenin alanlarından birini oluşturduğu, yeniden yazılan masallar ile kadın karşıtı söylemlerin dönüştürülebileceği ve masalların yeniden yazımı ile nasıl toplumsal etkiler üretebileceğini değerlendirmektir. Bu kapsamda, makalede öncelikle feminist yeniden yazım konusu üzerinde durulmuş ve ardından klasik Külkedisi masalı eleştirel bir mesafeden analiz edilmiştir. Daha sonra ise, bu masalın yeniden yazılmış formları incelenerek feminist yeniden yazımın imkânları ele alınmıştır.

Published: December 2024

Plant diseases affect agricultural production, food security, and economic stability, making them a major concern for global agriculture. To reduce losses and guarantee sustainable farming methods, these diseases must be identified early and managed effectively. Manual inspections, which are labour-intensive, unreliable, and unscalable for large-scale agricultural applications, are frequently the basis of traditional disease monitoring techniques. Innovative approaches to plant disease tracking have been made possible by the quick development of artificial intelligence (AI), which offers improved scalability, accuracy, and efficiency. This study provides a comprehensive assessment of AI-based plant disease tracking systems, concentrating on techniques that integrate machine learning, deep learning, computer vision, and data-driven models. Key uses include integrating satellite imagery and IoT-enabled devices for real-time monitoring, predicting disease outbreaks using environmental data, and detecting diseases using picture processing. Additionally examined is the function of mobile applications in providing farmers with easily accessible diagnostic tools. The study also discusses important issues like model generalisation, data scarcity, computational constraints, and socioeconomic obstacles to AI adoption in agriculture. This review highlights the revolutionary potential of AI in building resilient agricultural systems, ultimately promoting global food security and sustainable development, by combining recent developments and pointing out research needs
Modeling the Transmission Dynamics of Avian Influenza in Cattle
Authors: Mrope Fadhili
Published: December 2024

Avian Influenza (AI) poses a critical threat to cattle production worldwide, resulting in significant yield losses and economic damages. Despite the severity of AI, comprehensive modeling studies on its transmission dynamics within cattle populations remain limited. In this study, we present a mathematical model to describe the spread of AI among cattle. The model is based on the Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) framework, adapted to capture the unique characteristics of AI transmission. The disease-free equilibrium of the model was computed, and the basic reproduction number for AI was calculated using the next-generation matrix method. Sensitivity analysis was conducted using normalized forward sensitivity method to determine the impact of various parameters on the basic reproduction number ($\mathcal{R}_0$). Analytical and numerical analyses indicate that increased contact rates between susceptible cattle and infected virus significantly raise the transmission rate of AI, impacting cattle health and productivity. Sensitivity analysis highlights that the recruitment rates of cattle and infection rates are the most influential parameters affecting $\mathcal{R}_0$. Control measures such as introducing AI-resistant cattle breeds and improving farm management practices to reduce infection rates may be used to mitigate the disease spread. This study enhances the understanding of AI transmission dynamics, providing valuable insights for developing targeted control strategies to protect cattle health and improve production.

Teacher performance is a measure of a teacher's success in carrying out their teaching duties in accordance with their responsibilities and authority. This includes the teacher's ability to plan, implement, and evaluate the learning process, as well as to guide students. There are two categories of factors that influence teacher performance: intrinsic factors and extrinsic factors. Intrinsic factors originate from within the teacher, while extrinsic factors come from the surrounding environment. This research aims to identify and understand the factors from both categories as inputs for schools to improve overall teacher performance. The study employs a qualitative approach using the literature review method, which involves examining various sources to understand the theories and concepts related to the topic being researched. The findings indicate that intrinsic factors such as work discipline, professionalism, self-motivation, competence, and teaching experience are essential foundations for fostering a teacher's dedication and performance. Additionally, extrinsic factors including school leadership, a positive work culture, supportive working conditions, adequate compensation or benefits, school culture, and teacher certification programs play a crucial role in creating a conducive environment for teachers to develop and reach their maximum potential. The synergy between these two sets of factors creates a positive cycle that significantly impacts educational success.

This study aims to analyze students' problem-solving abilities and mathematical semiotics based on Adversity Quotient (AQ). This qualitative research uses a descriptive approach. The research subjects were selected using an AQ questionnaire and conducted in Class IX F of SMP Negeri 14 Raja Ampat, involving three students divided into three groups. The first group consisted of one climber-type student, the second group included one camper-type student, and the third group included one quitter-type student. Data collection techniques included an AQ questionnaire, tests, and unstructured interviews. Data analysis techniques involved data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results indicate that an analysis of students' problem-solving abilities and mathematical semiotics based on adversity quotient shows that students in the climber category have excellent problem-solving abilities, meeting all four problem-solving indicators according to Polya's theory. These students also demonstrate an understanding of semiotics from Peirce's perspective, successfully solving problems using this approach. Students in the camper category show moderate problem-solving abilities, meeting three indicators: understanding, planning, and executing the problem-solving process, but lack in reviewing their answers. Regarding semiotics from Peirce's perspective, camper-category students can create signs, identify objects, and interpret signs but struggle to complete the final solution. In contrast, quitter-type students display low problem-solving abilities, failing to meet the problem-solving indicators according to Polya's theory or the semiotic indicators from Peirce's perspective.

ESTIMASI TEGANGAN OPEN CIRCUIT DAN RESISTANSI INTERNAL BATERAI MENGGUNAKAN ALGORITMA RECURSIVE LEAST SQUARES
Authors: Topan Paris Ali , Fardila Dinda
Published: December 2024

This study employs the Recursive Least Squares (RLS) algorithm to estimate the Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) and internal resistance (Ro) of a battery in real-time, based on measured current and voltage data. The results demonstrate that RLS can produce accurate estimates of OCV and Ro, with a Mean Squared Error (MSE) of 0.031, indicating a very small difference between the predicted and measured terminal voltage. The estimated OCV is stable, while Ro remains consistently within the range of 0.075 to 0.175 ohms, despite fluctuations in voltage due to changes in current. These findings show that the RLS algorithm can be effectively applied in battery management systems to dynamically and in real-time estimate parameters, which is crucial for applications such as electric vehicle battery monitoring and energy storage systems.
