O QUE SIGNIFICA ESTUDAR O PROBLEMA DO HOMEM CONTEMPORÂNEO HOJE?
Authors: AMADO ANTONIO TADEU F.
Published: June 2023

Na década de 1970, o documento da área de educação do Conselho EpiscopalLatino Americano (CELAM) sobre as Universidades Católicas urgiauma presença mais marcante da teologia e das ciências religiosas dentroe fora da Universidade e um diálogo com as demais ciências. Em nossotempo, é necessário enfatizar a presença das Universidades Católicas nocontexto social mais amplo, respondendo a seus desafios oriundos da situaçãode injustiça e das questões atuais com que a fé se vê confrontada,que exige reflexão elaborada e rigorosa. As questões presentes hoje estãona economia, ciências modernas, como a Biologia, a Cosmologia, a hipótesede vida em outros planetas, a Ecologia etc. É necessária a existênciade uma disciplina que discuta o problema antropológico cristão e seusaspectos doutrinários realizando o diálogo com as demais disciplinas, nãopermanecendo restrita aos alunos que integram os 1º e 2º semestres acadêmicosda Universidade.

A iniciativa para escrever este ensaio surgiu do resultado de trabalho decampo realizado com alunos da graduação dos cursos de Relações Internacionaise Enfermagem, da Universidade Católica de Santos, como partedo componente curricular Sociologia, no primeiro semestre letivo de2019. Contrária à proibição do celular na sala de aula, procurei levá-los àreflexão sobre a postura de quem prefere a companhia virtual em detrimentoda real. Para tanto, escrevi o projeto “Comunicação virtual e relacionamentoshumanos”, orientando esses alunos a proceder à observaçãoparticipante e entrevista como técnica para o desenvolvimento da pesquisa,em diferentes espaços públicos, tendo como foco usuários de celular.No resultado dessa atividade, registrado tanto no relatório quanto no semináriode pesquisa, compreendi a importância que os alunos atribuíramao diálogo, por meio da convivência e interação humana, contemplandoa relação off-line para ampliar a cooperação e a solidariedade no mundocontemporâneo. Assim, neste ensaio procedo à reflexão sobre o relacionamentovirtual, on-line, convidando o leitor ao diálogo.

Published: June 2023

As representações gráficas são formas de expressão dos sujeitos e no contextoescolar ganham significado maior por se tratar de um grande potencializadorde ensino-aprendizagem envolvendo a linguagem gráfica evisual, o desenho e a escrita. O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi compreendere analisar as representações gráficas que alunos da escola básica de NovaIguaçu produzem sobre a Reserva Biológica do Tinguá. Realizamos oficinasna Colégio Estadual Arêa Leão, localizado no bairro da Posse em NovaIguaçu, um bairro próximo da Reserva Biológica do Tinguá (Rebio Tinguá)com alunos do ensino básico nos anos de 2015 e 2017. A metodologia éde cunho quali-quantitativo e presa à corrente da percepção ambiental.Apresenta um caminho que possibilita compreender os processos humanospelo olhar dos sujeitos pesquisados, neste caso, as crianças. Assim, assumimosesta perspectiva de acordo com Santos (2016) que indica queo investigador introduz-se no mundo das pessoas que pretende estudar,tenta conhecê-las, dar-se a conhecer e ganhar a sua confiança, elaborandoum registro escrito e sistemático de tudo aquilo que ouve e observa. Asoficinas são realizadas para despertar o sentimento de pertencimento nosestudantes do ensino básico, muitos destes moradores da Vila de Tinguá apartir da percepção em relação à Rebio Tinguá. A Rebio Tinguá é uma unidadede conservação próxima da escola, inclusive ela pode ser visualizadadevido a altitude do maciço do Tinguá elemento geológico que domina apaisagem. Utilizamos para o registro das oficinas duas grafias: o desenho e aredação e cruzando. Essas duas linguagens estão sempre presentes na escolabásica brasileira, porém devem ser constantemente associadas para atingirum potencial maior de aprendizagem.

TESTANDO OS FUNDAMENTOS DA TEORIA RELATIVIDADE GERAL: UM EXPERIMENTO NO IPECI – UNISANTOS
Authors: TADEU F. AMADO ANTONIO
Published: June 2023

Um cientista que está familiarizado com outras teorias físicas nas quaisos símbolos com os quais lida são dotados de um significado experimentaldireto deve ter muito cuidado e paciência no estudo da RelatividadeGeral. No início lógico da Teoria da Relatividade, encontramos, emvez disso, apenas dois conceitos elementares: a ideia de coincidências noespaço-tempo (eventos) e o tempo próprio; isso é tudo que existe em nossoequipamento para a longa jornada do completo entendimento da Gravitação.Todas as outras grandezas físicas, distância, ângulo, energia etc, têmapenas um significado secundário e devem ser construídas, se possível, apartir dos dois conceitos fundamentais; portanto, uma teoria completade medições é necessária. O Princípio da Equivalência historicamente desempenhouum papel importante no desenvolvimento da Teoria da Gravitação.Isaac Newton considerou este princípio como tal, a pedra angularda Mecânica que ele dedicou ao parágrafo inicial dos Principia [Newton,2002], afirmando na Definição I: esta quantidade que Eu quero dizer daquiem diante em todos os lugares sob o nome de ... massa ... é conhecido pelo peso ...pois é proporcional ao peso, como descobri em experimentos com pêndulos, feitocom muita precisão .... Em 1907, Einstein usou o princípio como elementofundamental da Relatividade Geral.Em 2014, este projeto foi proposto a uma equipe de alunos de IC envolvendoesse teste experimental clássico da Teoria da Relatividade Geral deEinstein, conhecido como Experimento de Galileu para o Princípio da EquivalênciaFraco e teve a finalidade de determinar o coeficiente de Eötvos, umparâmetro experimental relevante na determinação das variações da razãoentre a massa inercial e a massa gravitacional, um fundamento não da gravidadenewtoniana ou da Relatividade Geral, mas da ideia mais ampla de queo espaço-tempo é curvo.

Published: June 2023

Any company's most valuable asset, its workforce, is its employees. As a result, the company's primary goal should be to develop an excellent strategy for supporting and investing in its employees and staff by providing the best training and development. Employee Promotion denotes the advancement of an employee's rank. It raises the salary, position, duties, and benefits. It is a part of the job that propels employees to the highest commitment and loyalty to their organizations. Employee morale and loyalty are two critical components of any successful business. Employee promotion is the key to improving employee performance and engagement. It is a complex process that may require effort and time from the human resource department. However, artificial intelligence is a recent science that has proven effective in many sectors, including healthcare and finance. Thus, this study used artificial intelligence techniques to automate employee promo. A new promotion approach based on machine learning techniques was proposed. Three machine learning techniques were applied: Logistic regression, support vector machine, and random forest. The result shows the efficacy of these techniques on the employee promotion problem.

Published: June 2023

Greatly questionable, clacification of the diagnosis with the results of commonly used laboratory tests has great importance. in this study, relation between pyuria and bacteriuria was investigated. Pyuria was evaluated by white cell count and leukocyte esterase test in urine sedimen (Multistik 10 SG). Bacteriuria was detected in 153(51.94 %) of 298 urine specimens. In urine sediment of culture-positive specimens, pyuria was detected by white cell count in 33.3 % of these and by leukocyte esterase test in 34.6 % of these, the percentages were 22. 7 % and 12.4 % for culture--negative specimens, respectively. The correlation between bacteriuria and pyuria, especially for the specimens of symptomatic patients, was found to be high. Because of we couldn't find any statistical significance between white celi count and leucocyte esterase test, we think that both of the test can be used to determine the pyuria. However, for the diagnosis of urinary tract infection, it would be a proper management culturing the specimen, while evaluating the urine for pyuria.

Published: June 2023

ln this study the effectiveness of midazolam and ketamine in oral preinedication were investigated in paediatric cases that would have tonsillectomy operation. The patients were divided in two groups; ASA 1-11 that included fourty cases aged 1 year to 10 years. Twenty minutes before general anaesthesia midazolam (0.5 mg/kg) mixed with cherry juice was given to the first group and ketamine (6 mglkg) in the same mixture to the second group peroral. The sedation degree was evaluated by ChiSquare test according to Wilton 's Sedation Scala. ln addition the patients reaction to the face mask and the adverse effects of the drugs were assessed. There is no signifıcance between the two groups (p>0.05). The reaction to the face mask application was observed in 3 cases of midazolam group and 2 cases of ketamine group. As adverse effects in midazolam group; diplopia in 1 case, secreation increase in 2 cases and in ketamine group nistagmus in 4 cases, tongue fasciculation in 2 cases and oral secreation increase in 7 cases were observed.
As a result we suggest that due to the easy usability, good sedation effect and causing no respiratory depression, oral midazolam may be used as an alternative agent to ketamine in premedication.

Published: June 2023

This study was performed ta evaluate the response rates of children with epilepsia to monotherapy ar polytherapy. In this study, 276 children with epilepsia were evaluated retrospectively. Monotherapy was administered ta 272 of 276 children with epilepsia as the initial therapy and in 208 patients the seizures were well controlled. A second trial of another monotherapy was administered to the children who were not under control or ta those who had recurrences despite the first monotherapy regimen. Both monotherapy regimens were found to be effective in 224 of 272 patients and the response rate was 82.3%t. Polytherapy was administered ta 42 epileptic ehi/dren who were not under control despite the monotherapy regimens. In 25 children (59.4%) the seizures were able to be controlled with polytherapy, at !ast 249 of 276 (90.3%) responded ta both monotherapy and the polytherapy regimens. We conclude that monotherapy must be preferred as the initial therapy in patients with epilepsia. A different monotherapy regimen should be administered if the first monotherapy Jails to control the seizures. Polytherapy should be used in those patients who do not respond to monotherapy regimens.

When suspecting an allergic disease, it should be confirmed using special tests. in this study, 79 pati­ ents who were followed up by outpatient department of Allergy of Dr. Behçet Uz Children's Hospital was examined. Twenty healthy children were served as the control group. We aimed to determine the importance of skin tests by comparing specific lgE and total IgE levels by EIA of patients having allergic complaints. The 47 (59%) of the patients was male and 32 (41%) female. Average age was 107.55 ±27.82 months. The 13 (65%) ofthe control group was male, 7 (35%)female and the average age was 108.5 ±24.5 months. Patients were dispersed in a broad range diagnosis spectrum from asthma bronchiale (AB) to AB+allergic rinit, urticaria, allergic conjunctivitis. Levels of total and specific JgE were determined, scratch and intradermal skin tests were performed to the patients. Total and specific lgE levels of the control group were studied. in laboratory findings which were made for supporting the diagnosis, 59% was positive for total lgE, 52% and 85% was positive for scratch and intradermal skin tests respectively. Specific lgE levels were found 7I % positive. in our study, while the sensitivity and specifity of total lgE were found 58.2% and 33.3% respectively, for specific lgE, they were found 80.5% and 83.3%. Since specific lgE which was determined by EL/SA method was found highly specific and effective, we can easily claim that it is a reliable diagnostic technique which can be used in the diagnosis of allergic diseases.

The aim of this study was to identfy the perioperative electrocardiography (ECG) changes and the predictors of cardiac complications. This pro!!ıpective study was pe,formed between January 1996 and March 1997 in Surgery Department of Medical Faculty of Gaziantep University. We studied the patients aging between 40-46 who were scheduled for elective and semielective noncardiac surgery. Patients who had definitive coronary artery disease (CAD) or high riskfor CAD on 54 patients (mean age 54±8.35) (30 Female,24 Male) Group 1 was compared with control group (Group il) on 54 patients (mean age 53±8) (21 Female, 33 Male). Preoperative riskfactors were recorded in Group 1. in each patient 12 lead ECG and cardiac spesific enzyme studies were obtained before the operation and again postoperatively on three consecutive days. in addition to the routine ECGs, serial ECG were obtained up to one week after surgery whenever a patient had postoperative cardiac signs, symptoms or changes were observed in the routine ECGs. We used Goldman and Detsky classification for evaluating the cardiac risk indexes. Perioperative ECG changes in Group 1 were compared with Group II. The incidence is significantly higher in Group I (p=0,0001) The incidences of the ischemic changes were higher in both groups (p=0,0023). Two (%3.7) out of 54 patients in Group I had clinically symptomatic, nonQ wave postoperative MI on the first operative day. These patients whose postoperative MI had preoperative ECG changes and also had coronary risk factors. in addition age, sex, the number and the types of coronary risk factors, cardiac risk index classification, site and the types of the surgery, preoperative medical problems didn't affect the rate of perioperatuar ECG changes.

Post-Myocardial Infarction Left Ventricular Remodelling
Authors: KÜRÜM Turhan
Published: June 2023

Post-myocardial remodelling is the process by which the left ventricle ofa post myocardial infarction (MI) patient may enlarge and become geometrically distorted. The onset of post-MI remodelling begins with the date of infarction and may continue years later. This progressive left ventricular dilatation is associated with progressive global cardiac dysfunction. Left ventricular enlargement and the development of chronic heart failure are patent predictors of survival in patients after myocardial infarction. In this article, the pathophysiology of remodelling process was reviewed.
Febrile Convulsions

Published: June 2023

Febrile convulsions are the most common convulsive disorder in childhood foond in 2-5% of children who are younger !han five years. it is most common between 14th-181h months of life. Recently the roles of zinc, melatonine, arginine, vasopressine, and enkephalins in the ethiopathogenesis of FK have been postulated. The progress of fever, fluid and electrolyte imbalance, bacterial toxins, using of high dose penicilline and antihistaminics are predisposing factors. Human Herpes Virus type-6 can also cause recurrent febrile convulsions. Lumbar puncture should be done in ali cases with febrile convulsion who are younger than one year to rule out meningitis. EEG is not necessary in simple febrile convulsions. Recurrence rate of febrile convulsion is approximately 33%. The incidence of recurrence is 50% in the first six months and 90% in the first year after the first attack. lf the first attack occurred before one year of age, the recurrence rate is more than 50%. A positive history of febrile convulsion in first degree relatives, moderately high fever, being of first child of the family, and having the convulsion before one year old are the most important factors increasing the recurrence rate. The risk of epilepsy is approximately 4% in children with febrile convulsions. The most important factors in developing epilepsy are focal seizures, long duration of convulsions and delayed pscychomotor development.
Kinetic Properties of Human Erythrocyte Prolidase and Optimal Conditions for Prolidase Assay by Proline Colorimetric Determination
Authors: Erbağcı Ayşe Binnur , Özdemir Yüksel , Yılmaz Necat
Published: June 2023

Prolidase (EC 3.4.13.9) is an iminodipeptidase that catalyses the hydrolysis of C-terminal proline or hydroxyproline containing dipeptides. it is involved in intracellular protein degradation, and apparently contributes to the conservation of iminoacides from endogenous and exogenous protein structures. Analysis of prolidase activity in human biological fluids and tissues has gained attention as a biochemical tool in acute and chronic liver diseases, adenocarcinoma of lungs and as a marker for fetal lung maturation and growth, in addition to long known genetic prolidase deficiency. in the present study, stability, activation and inhibition kinetics of human erythrocyte prolidase and optimal conditions for human erythrocyte prolidase assay were investigated. Level of proline, product of the enzymatic reaction was measured by Chinard's method. Human erythrocyte prolidase activity was stable tor six months at -10 °C. Preincubation of the enzyme at 37 °C with 1 mM MnCl2 provided appropriate activity. 
Preincubation at 45 °C and 55 °C caused enzyme inactivation. After preincubation, prolidase activity was linearly related to incubation time up to at least two hours. Buffer ionic strength between 30-70 mM at pH 8.0 did not cause an obvious difference of prolidase activity. However pH changes between 7.0 and 8.5 caused significant differences with maximal activity at pH 8.0 The Km value tor Gly-L-pro dipeptide was approximately 7.0 mM. EDTA, iodo acetamide and some divalent metal ions (Cu2+, Fe2+, Zn2+, Hg2+) had inhibitory effect on human erythrocyte prolidase activity. According to our results, preincubation at 1 mM MnCl2 concentration for 2 hours at 37°C and incubation at 30 mM Gly-L-pro dipeptide concentration, 40 mM buffer ionic strength, pH 8.0 tor 30 minutes reveals optimal assay conditions for human erythrocyte prolidase. Presence of metal chelating agents and metal ions other than manganese in the reaction media can interfere results, thus should be avoided.

Published: June 2023

Sinus pain or sinusal headache appear with infection, tumor or other reasons and it is expected to resolve with succesfull medical or surgical treatment of the primary reason. But in some patients with sinusal headache, there is not only of any inflamation in sinus cavities, but alsa any ampiric therapy being given tor vasculer or other reasons, would be useful. For this type of headache which is being thought to come into being from mucosal contacting areas or anatomic variations , it is necessary to fix the responsible pathology with tomographic and clinical examinations. in this study the patients suffering from chronic and persisting headache tor average two years and benefit partly from ampiric medications, being given tor any of vasculary reasons, have been reviewed with the lights of endoscopic and tomographic investigations. in 28 patients who had the basic complaint was headache, endoscopic sinus surgeries were done because of mucosal contacting areas and anatomic variations. After the operations the basic complaint disappeared entirely in 1 O patients( 38%) and improved partly at varing degrees in 14 patients ( 50%).

The importance of forensic reports given by emergency services is known by everybody. However, it is observed that some of these reports may involve wrong or missing comments for some reasons. Forensic knowledge of the doctors who write forensic reports are updated in our faculty. So this study is also performed to see what happens after graduation as a result of education given. Research is based on a comparative study on total 514 reports (including before and after education). Numbers of reports giving misuse of "life threatening" is decreased from 65.4% to 34.6%, the number of reports using proper use of "period of impediment" is increased from 43.1 % to 56.9%, and the number of final reports has been increased from 7.8% to 18.3%. Although education applied has eliminated some disturbances and miscomprehension, it is concluded that, if the similar programs are continuously performed, positive results can certainly be obtained.

Published: June 2023

Objective: Parenteral drug administration through intramuscular gluteal route is a common clinical practice. The most frequent and serious complication of this procedure is sciatic nerve injury. Our aim is to focus on this complication, and to discuss it in the light of the literature.
Method: Forty-four cases of sciatic neuropathy due to gluteal injections were evaluated in 43 patients who referred to our hospital between January 1993 and December 2000.
Results: The mean age of 10 female (23.3 %) and 33 male (76.7 %) patients was 40.8±20.9 years (range 4 to 78). Eight patients (18.6 %) were in the childhood period. The neuropathy was located on the right side in 18 of ttııe patierıts, on the left in 24 of them, and there was bilateral involvement in one ,case. Thirty-six, injections (83.9 %) were performed by the medical staff. Whereas, seven of thern were done 'by neighbors or relatives of the patients and one injection was peıiformed by the patient himself. That is, 8 injections (16.1 %) were done by unlicensed individuals. NSAIDs, antibiotics and analgesics were the most frequent medications, the rates of which were 31.8 %, 18.2. %, and 18.2 % respectively.
Conclusion: SN secondary to gluteal injections is not a rare complication, at all. Direct trauma to the nerve is the most common cause. Since injection into the vasa nervorum or into the periphery or body of the nerve itself has been considered to be responsible for the ischemic and toxic; mechanisms, injection site and technique seems to be foremost important. We think that precautions must be taken in order to restrict unlicensed performance and better post-graduate: ongoing programs should be undertaken to reduce comliplications.

Objective: To assess whether the expression of oncoproteins, p53, bcl-2 and fas, correlated with the clinical and pathological parameters. in squamous celi laryngeal carcinoma (SCLC).
Study design: Medical records of 30 patients who were operated for SCLC, were reviewed, and histopathological and immunhistochemical assessments of the corresponding tissue samples were performed.
Methods: The monoclonal antibodies to p53 bcl-2 and fas proteins were used for immunhistochemical staining. Streptavidin-Biotin, horseradish method was used. The data obtained was compared with the clinical and histopathological results.
Results: A positive staining for p53 was obtained in 19 (63.3% ) of 30 tumors. Only one (3.3%) of 30 tumors positively stained for bcl-2. A positive staining for fas was obtained in 27 (90%) of the tumors. The results of p53 and bcl-2 did not correlate with mitotic count (MC), grade, T and N, and smoking. There was a correlation between fas and MC (p=0.007). But, the results of fas did not correlate with grade, T, N and smoking. A correlation was not found between; p53 vs.bcl-2 (p<0.05); p53 vs. fas (p<0.05); and bcl-2 vs. fas (p<0.05).
Conclusion: There was no association between the oncoproteins (p53, bcl-2 and fas) and clinical or pathological parameters studied. The expression of the oncoproteins between smokers and non smokers did not show signifıcant difference as well.
