Published: December 2022

This study attempted to examine the possibility of the fourth industrial revolution technology-based Makeup education by developing and applying academic courses which converged the fourth industrial revolution technology with Makeup. According to analysis of changes in i) people’s view of the fourth industrial revolution technology before and after its introduction, ii) such technology-based experience factors before and after their adoption and iii) perception of the fourth industrial revolution technology Makeup courses before and after their application, they all have improved. In addition, the awareness of the fourth industrial revolution technologies revealed statistical significance in terms of engagement, education, cognition and interest. Regarding the influence of the fourth industry revolution technology experience factors on the perception of the application of the fourth industry revolution technology to Makeup courses, a positive effect was found in terms of education and interest. It appears that the perception of the fourth industry revolution technology and its application to academic courses after developing and applying such technology-based Makeup courses has improved because of expectations on the fourth industry revolution technologies. It is anticipated that if academic courses are developed in consideration of the fourth industrial revolution technology experience factors, they would have a positive influence on overall cosmetology education in addition to Makeup courses.

Syntactic classification of pleonastic structures
Authors:   Universitatea de Stat „Alecu Russo” din Bălţi, Republica Moldova, Parahonco Liudmila
Published: December 2022

The purpose of the article is to study the structural (syntactic) aspect of pleonastic formations, build a structural concept and thereby prove their semantic significance, as well as informative interpretation. The object of analysis is pleonastic expressions and their pragmatic functions based on the material of publicist and artistic discourses. The subject of analysis is the comparison of the transaction (transmission) of the author’s and the “communicative isolation” of the meaningful lexical unit – pleonasm. The result of the study is the recognition of the normality of the use of this phenomenon, but subject to certain conditions: only models with homogeneous components with the meaning of a person, phenomenon, quality, state, basically, complement, clarify the conceptual content of the expression. The semantics of the object or subject is redundant in models with predicative units. These constructions are usually found in colloquial and publicistic styles, which does not allow them to be attributed to the norm of the modern Russian literary language. Structural models with a subordinate relationship with the meaning of an object, attribute, action (agreement) are also considered superfluous.

Published: December 2022

The present approach represents the vision of a historian on the evolution and development of decorative art in Moldova through the lens of the creation of Andrei Negură, an artist who asserted himself equally in painting and tapestry. He made a sensation at the beginning of his activity in the 1980s with the tapestries he exhibited, shaping a new attitude of society, driving his interest in this genre of decorative arts. His creation, deeply rooted in the aesthetics of traditional weaving, offers outstanding samples of modern art, products of original plastic and technological experiments. Thanks to him, for the first time tapestry began to be studied at the level of a higher education institution, he founded the Department of Textile Arts at the Academy of Music, Theater and Fine Arts, the “Tapestry” specialty. His last personal exhibition, Revelations in Color, at the “Constantin Brâncusi” Exhibition Center in Chisinau, presents him in the fullness of his talent as an author of parietal tapestry, three-dimensional tapestry, easel and applicative graphics, oil painting and tempera painting. Through his complex creation, A. Negură made a significant contribution to the valorization of the national cultural heritage.

Authors: AFŞAR Muharrem , ÖZARSLAN DOĞAN Başak
Published: December 2022

Yenilenebilir enerji üretimine yönelik çeşitli politika ve teşviklerin, düşük karbon ekonomisi amacına ulaşma ve bu konuda toplumsal mutabakatın sağlanması anlamında önemli etkilerinin olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, yenilenebilir enerji üretiminde kamu politikalarının etkisini 2000-2017 dönemi için analitik olarak ortaya koymaktır. Bu kapsamda ilk olarak; yenilenebilir enerji üretimine verilen destek ve teşviklerin göreceli önemini elde etmek için, G-7 ülkeleri bazında “Temel Bileşenler Analizi” yöntemi kullanılarak politika endeksi oluşturulmuştur. Ardından; politika endeksi, karbon emisyonları, GSYİH, fosil yakıt tüketimi ve enflasyon değişkenlerinin yenilenebilir enerji üretimi üzerindeki etkileri “Han ve Phillips (2010) metodolojisi” yardımıyla analiz edilmiştir. Sonuçlar kamu politikalarının yenilenebilir enerji üretimi ve artışında önemli etkilere sahip olduğuna dair kanıtlar içermektedir. Bu bulguya ilave olarak analizde; GSYİH’nın yenilenebilir enerji üretimine pozitif, karbon emisyonları ve fosil yakıt tüketiminin ise negatif etkilileri olduğu saptanmıştır. Bununla birlikte; enflasyon değişkenin yenilenebilir enerji üretimini pozitif etkilemekle beraber, katsayısının istatistiki olarak anlamsız olduğu görülmüştür.

Obesity impacts most of the population, and many countries are predicted to raise the prevalence of adults affected by obesity (OB)  and related disorders during the recent decades. OB is uninterruptedly increasing at a shocking proportion throughout the globe and scattering as an epidemic threatening world health. It is currently projected that more than 250 million population worldwide are obese, comparable to 7% of the adult population. By 2030, it is projected that 1 out of 7 men and 1 out of 5 women will be alive with an obesity problem, equating to more than one billion population worldwide. Overweight and obesity is the most common malnutritional condition in industrialized and developing countries. However, data on OB prevalence among diverse Indian ethnic groups is limited. The present study has been initiated to understand the OB problems among the urban adult population of the North Dum Dum area, West Bengal, India. The present study also intended to compare the proportion of overweight and OB among urban adult men and women in comparison to other Indian studies and other regions of the world. Results exposed that the occurrence of OB (Body Mass Index ³ 30.00) is moderately high (men=11.89% and women=17.45%), but the incidence of overweight (Body Mass Index 25.00-29.99) is very high (men=30.88%, women=37.24%) among the Bengalee population. The present research concluded that OB is a rising burden in India. It is more common among women than men.

Infection by Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein - Barr virus (EBV) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of Systemic lupus Erythematous (SLE). The current study aimed to determine the frequency of EBV and CMV IgG among Sudanese patients with SLE. A case-control analytical study was conducted on 82 participants in Khartoum State during the period from 2017 to 2018. Serum from patients with SLE (n=62), and controls participants (n=20) were tested for IgG antibodies against EBV and CMV using the Avidity ELISA assay. Pretested questionnaire data were analyzed by SPSS software V.20 (IBM, Chicago,IL). Means and proportions of the demographic were calculated for SLE seropositive groups. Chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis were used for SLE as a dependent factor while IgG seropositive groups of EBV and CMV as the independent variable and, SLE variables as dependent variables. Odds ratio (OR) with a 95% confidence interval was calculated and statistical significance was defined as a P value below 0.05. Eighty-two females with SLE volunteered to participate in this study, including 62 cases with systemic lupus erythematosus and 20 control participants. Average age means ± SD (34±1.4) for cases and (34±1.6) for controls. Original tribes in Sudan were screened Avidity assay for Western State 37(45.1%), Northern State 29(35.4%), Central State 17(20.7%), and Southern State1 (1.2%) respectively. Seropositivity of IgG by Avidity assay revealed high score for CMV 60 (96.8%) among cases vs 19(95%) among controls, (OR 1.579, CI -95% (0.136-18.4), P <0.05). Seropositivity for both EBV and Co-infection was 58 (98.3%) vs 16 (80.0%) among cases and controls, respectively (OR 3.625, CI -95% (0.227-2.708), P <0.05). Patients with SLE in Sudan have a high rate of infections by EBV and CMV as evidenced by the IgG avidity test indicating association.

Authors: Jones Selene , Bloom Paul
Published: December 2022

Malassezia pachydermatis is a commensal of canines associated with Malassezia dermatitis. Consensus guidelines recommend topical and/or systemic treatment, but resistance to antifungals has been reported. The objective of this pilot study was to determine the efficacy of a 0.003% colloidal silver nanoparticle-based shampoo in the treatment of canine Malassezia dermatitis. Dogs were included based on compatible history, presentation, and at least one positive cytology. Fourteen privately owned dogs were bathed every 48 hr for up to 28 days, allowing 5–10 min of contact time. The mean Malassezia organisms for 10 oil immersion fields at each Malassezia dermatitis–affected body area was recorded at days 0 and 14. Dogs positive on day 14 had cytologies performed on day 28. Eleven dogs (78.6%) were cytologically negative by day 28. Nine (81.8%) of these were negative by day 14. One dog (7.14%) had partial resolution (negative in 3/4 Malassezia dermatitis areas) by day 28. These results suggest that silver nanoparticle-based shampoo may be effective in the treatment of canine Malassezia dermatitis. Larger, controlled studies are needed to further investigate efficacy, optimal concentration, and ideal application frequency.

A 10 yr old female spayed domestic shorthair was referred for an 11mo history of persistent total hypercalcemia and elevated ionized calcium with intermittent episodes of lethargy, vomiting, and diarrhea with a history of recurrent urinary tract infections and intermittently elevated kidney values. An abdominal ultrasound, thoracic radiographs, cervical ultrasound, and ionized calcium level, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and PTH-related peptide (PTHrp) levels were assessed. Results were consistent with chronic kidney disease, splenomegaly, diffuse thickening of small intestines, nodular lesions noted in the left thyroid and right parathyroid, and elevated ionized calcium, PTH, and elevated PTHrp levels. A left thyroidectomy and right cranial parathyroidectomy were performed. Hypocalcemia and anemia developed postoperatively, which were managed with calcium carbonate, calcitriol, and calcium gluconate and benign neglect of anemia. Histopathology was consistent with a left thyroid carcinoma and right cranial parathyroid adenoma. Thyroid carcinoma and parathyroid adenomas have not previously been reported to occur concurrently in domestic felines and should be considered when ionized calcium is elevated with both PTH and PTHrp levels increased in addition to ultrasonographic lesions.

Published: December 2022

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic pathogen that causes infection in immunocompromised patients. Pseudomonas aeruginosa can cause severe acute and chronic infections in patients on ventilators and patients with burns, surgery, diabetic foot ulcers, and catheterization. vim-2 gene distributes metallo-β-lactamase with a broad spectrum of substrates against penicillins, cephalosporins, cefamycins, and carbapenems. Therefore, an attractive drug target for the treatment of β-lactam-resistant infections. This study aims to know the presence of the vim-2 P. aeruginosa carbapenem resistance gene. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most common microorganism that causes infection in the community and hospitals. Resistance of P. aeruginosa to various antibiotics is an increasingly common overuse or inappropriate use. vim-2 gene is of high clinical relevance due to its wide distribution and broad substrate range and therefore represents an important drug target for treating antibiotic-resistant infections. Based on the literature review, a molecular examination of the vim-2 gene is critical to be a reference in selecting appropriate antibiotics in addition to phenotypic study.

In addition to impairing the quality of life of the individual, there are societal as well as fiscal outcomes like workforce loss along with health expenditures. MRI findings of patients with headache were examined retrospectively through the relevant literature with a view to scrutinizing the necessity of the very procedure carried out, and the results were shared accordingly. Through our study we delved into the recent situation in our country and investigated whether MRI devices with advancing and novel technologies give dissimilar results with diffusion and sensitivity-weighted images in the MRI findings of patients who seek medical advice visiting a health institution with complaint of headache.

Materials and Methods: The study included 224 patients over the age of 18, who underwent brain MRI between January 2020 and December 2021 in our center, with normal findings on neurological examination and who had not undergone surgery. All abnormal appearances such as mass, metastasis, aneurysm, hydrocephalus, encephalitis, sinusitis, mastoiditis, otitis, which may cause secondary headache, were recorded in MR images.

Results: Of the 224 patients, 120 (53.57%) were male and 104 (46.43%) were female. The mean age was 39.45±12.55 years. None of the 224 examinations revealed mass suspicious for malignancy, aneurysm, encephalitis, or meningitis. Extraaxial mass lesion compatible with meningioma was detected in 3 patients (1.33%), arachnoid cyst in 3 patients (1.33%), and developmental venous anomaly in 2 patients (0.89%). There was paranasal sinus infection in 145 patients (64.73%), mastoiditis in 37 patients (16.52%), and otitis in 8 patients (3.57%). The remaining 66 patients had no MRI findings except ischemic-gliotic changes, enlarged perivascular distances, and physiological calcifications.

Conclusion: In studies designed according to CT and MRI examinations taken regardless of neurological examination and history, the rate of completely normal findings is quite high, as in our study. MRI scans conducted for these patients, who can indeed solely be diagnosed with examination or simpler imaging methods, lead to loss of time and money. In order to fix the said situation, we are of the opinion that the red flag practice should become widespread and nonessential examination requests should be supervised.
Interhospital Patient Transfers from the Emergency Department: A Retrospective, Observational Study
Authors: TATLIPARMAK Ali Cankut
Published: December 2022

Aims: All patients requiring emergency intervention are given their first medical attention in the emergency department, regardless of the facilities, equipment, and occupancy of the hospital. When the hospital facilities are not sufficient, interhospital patient transfers may be done under some regulations and legislations. This study aimed to analyze interhospital patient transfers from emergency departments to other hospitals.
Materials and methods: This retrospective, observational, descriptive study examined interhospital patient transfers from İstanbul Emergency Department to other hospitals for four years (2018–2022). While all referrals made by the emergency service through the Arnavutköy State Hospita 112 Provincial Ambulance Service Transport Unit were eligible for the study, patients under the age of 18, those whose referral was due to COVID-19 infection, and those whose data could not be accessed were excluded. In addition to demographic data, interhospital patient transfers were evaluated according to time, department, diagnosis, distance between hospitals, and the characteristics of the referral institution.
Results: The study included 4,280 transfers. Transfers were done most frequently in 2018 (1,310; 30.6%). Transfers were often handled outside of weekday daytime (2,919; 68.2%) and were most frequently done for cardiac events (2,592; 60.6%). The average transfer distance between hospitals was calculated as 24.29 km (standard deviation [SD]: 6.55 km), while the mean time between the first registration and the transfer was 344.8 minutes (SD: 275.3 minutes). In the analysis of transfers by year, a higher rate of transfers were to public institutions in each successive year (2018: 40.8%; 2019: 52.4%; 2020: 77.8%; 2021: 78.3%).
Conclusion: The most common reason for transfer was cardiac events. Increasing the cardiology facilities and equipment of the hospital could reduce the number of interhospital patient transfers.

Published: December 2022

Introduction: Biological changes in human metabolism due to daylight and heat are expressed as circadian rhythm, and its classification according to individuals and their genetic differences is called chronotype. In recent years, there has been an increase in studies examining the relationship between circadian rhythm and birth. Purpose: This study’s first aim was to investigate the relationship between the chronotypes of mothers and time of birth, season, meridians in which they were born, and the gender of their babies. Its second aim was to examine the relationship between the birth times and chronotypes of pregnant women and the time of their deliveries. Method: The study was conducted among women presented to Alanya Training and Research Hospital Gynecology and Obstetrics Polyclinic between 01.02.2022 and 31.03.2022. The study included 147 women remembering the date and time of delivery. Participants were selected among the mothers who gave a normal birth, did not have labor induction, whose birth started with spontaneous contractions, and had a healthy pregnancy. A questionnaire form including sociodemographic characteristics, obstetric information, and Horne and Östberg's Morningness- Eveningness scale were applied face to face. One-way ANOVA, Chi-Square, and logistic regression analyses were employed to analyze the data. Results: The chronotypes of the participants revealed that 45 women (30.6%) were morning type, 90 women were intermediate type (61.2%), and 12 women were evening type (8.2%). No difference was found between the chronotype scores of the mothers and the birth hours of their babies (p = .324). There was no difference between mothers' chronotype scores and birth meridians (p = .842). In addition, no significant relationship was found between the mothers' own birth hours and the birth hours of their babies (p= .050). Conclusion: There was no relationship between birth time, season, gender, birth meridian, and chronotype. The limitation of the study may be related to the recall bias, the effect of confounding factors, and the sample size. However, we think it is an interesting field in terms of providing a different perspective on the differences in performance and mood of people with further studies regarding chronotype.

Published: December 2022

Objective: Infertility is defined as the failure to achieve a clinical pregnancy after twelve months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. Both genetic and environmental factors affect infertility. The aim of the study is to establish the frequency of the Y chromosome microdeletions in Turkish infertile men who were referred to our center (2016-2020) with severe oligozoospermia and azoospermia.

Methods: A retrospective chart review study on patients who referred to our center between 2016-2020 due to infertility were included in the study. We evaluated microdeletions of the Y-chromosome STS markers AZFa, AZFb and AZFc, ZFX/ZFY, and terminal sY160 regions. Y-chromosome STS markers were evaluated by DNA fragment analysis.

Results: The chart review indicated that a total of 319 men applied to our genetic diagnosis center between 2016 and 2020 due to infertility (mean age 32 ±7). Among the 319 infertile men, we determined 21 cases with Y chromosome microdeletions (6.89%), with the most common AZFc deletion (n=11, 52.3%) which is consistent with literature.

Conclusion: Y-microdeletions are among the most common genetic causes of male infertility. In azoospermic and oligospermic patients, cytogenetic tests, Y-chromosome microdeletions and NGS panel screening tests can give effective information before the use of assisted reproductive techniques.
Criminal liability for the “unlawful” trafficking of waste in Italy: what relevance for the European Best Available Techniques?
Authors: Zirulia Stefano
Published: December 2022

The paper deals with a much-debated topic in Italian criminal law scholarship and jurisprudence, that of criminal liability for carrying on formally authorised polluting activities, with a focus on its EU law profiles. After an overview of the concept of “unlawfulness” in environmental criminal law, the paper turns on the Italian offence of waste trafficking, addressing in particular two recent rulings of the Court of Cassation that held that the violation of EU “Best Available Techniques” can determine the “unlawful” nature of conduct, even when the latter is formally authorised. The author argues that this approach cannot be shared in its absoluteness, but deserves attention in order to avoid that, in certain well-defined hypotheses, authorisation becomes a factor of unjustified impunity for environmental damage.

Managing waste and conserving the environment confronts the government, the community, the people and the industry. There is a conceptual and sustainable framework to be imbibed in tackling the menace of waste. The waste management profile at hand and environmental status quo defeats the strides of conservation of wastes which debar any stainable economy. However, beyond all reasonable doubts, best practices for waste management gives most-sought results in the future ahead. At large, a beam of global light into the radical and rational trend of waste management programs leads to economic sustainability based on the capacity of innovation; Nigeria vies to make a mark in innovation outcome in the direction of appropriately curtailing wastes at all levels. Despite being tagged an under-developed nations, Nigeria still positions itself as a great and conscious manager of wastes of all sorts in Africa. This study assessed the cultural management of wastes in Nigeria.

Published: December 2022

Srednjovjekovni su zakoni važan izvor za proučavanje kulture i povijesti određenoga kraja. Usto oni predstavljaju značajna vrela za dijalektološka istraživanja te istraživanja na području kontaktne lingvistike. U ovom se radu obrađuju tri pravna dokumenta s područja Liburnije: Zakon Grada Kastva (1400.), Veprinački zakon (1507.) i Zakon kaštela Mošćenic (1637.). Na temelju provedene analize utvrđuje se zastupljenost talijanizama u navedenim trima dokumentima. Cilj je ekscerpirati te etimološki i leksikološki obraditi dio talijanizama iz semantičkog polja prava. Pojam talijanizam u ovom radu obuhvaća posuđenice iz mletačkog i talijanskog. Uz utvrđivanje neposredne etimologije posuđenica, odredit će se i daleka etimologija leksema.

La influencia del Estado y su (re)producción de las políticas sociales en las desigualdades de género ha sido uno de los temas relevantes de investigación en las últimas décadas. La complejidad de este escenario revela la importancia de profundizar en los espacios de construcción de políticas sociales que promuevan la incorporación del enfoque comunitario, considerando que es una estrategia que promueve la transformación social entre los géneros. Este artículo presenta resultados de una investigación exploratoria-descriptiva que recurre a la teoría de la performatividad para abordar los efectos que han tenido las políticas sociales de género sobre la construcción de subjetividades. Para su desarrollo, se revisaron un total de 504 programas y proyectos sociales, identificando 17 de ellos dirigidos a la población femenina en Chile. A partir de un análisis documental, se indagó en su papel como mecanismos de reproducción e imposición de roles sociales entre los géneros y en las características del enfoque comunitario presente en los 17 programas. Los resultados permitieron identificar distintas construcciones de sujetos-mujer que se performan mayoritariamente de forma aislada, presentando estrategias comunitarias que transitan desde una ausencia hasta su consideración en diversos formatos.
