Role of hysteroscopy in the diagnostics of endometrium pathology and in the application of auxiliary reproductive technologies
Authors: Lutsky Andrii , Kuzmina Iryna , Lutska Svetlana
Published: December 2023

Abstract. The introduction of endoscopic technologies made it possible to significantly expand diagnostic possibilities and clarify the nature of intrauterine pathology when using assisted reproductive technologies. Hysteroscopy allows you to take material for examination from the uterine cavity, and also ensures the carrying out of this procedure for diagnostic purposes as much as possible. Treatment of infertility by hysteroscopy plays a very important role in restoring a woman's reproductive function. The aim of the study was to improve the diagnosis of endometrial pathology through the use of hysteroscopy and targeted biopsy in the restoration of fertility and the use of assisted reproductive technologies. Materials. A clinical and statistical analysis of the results of 88 operative hysteroscopies in patients with infertility, which were divided into two groups, was carried out. The first group included 80 patients (90.91 %) with genital and extragenital pathology. The second group included 8 patients (9.01 %) who did not have concomitant gynecological and extragenital pathology. Hysteroscopy was performed with the equipment and tools of the «KARL STORZ» company. Monopolar and bipolar coagulation was used for hemostasis. Taking into account that pathology of the uterine cavity and endometrial are frequent causes of impaired reproductive function, it was proposed to use hysteroscopy to restore reproductive function. The results. The condition of the mucous membrane of the uterus with the help of hysteroscopy was studied in all clinical observations, since this method of instrumental research allows primarily to examine and evaluate the structural features of the endocervix and endometrial. In observation groups I and II, hysteroscopy was performed in all 88 patients: group 1 in 80 patients (90.91%) with pathological changes of the uterine mucosa and group 2 – in 8 patients (9.01 %) without pathology of the uterine mucosa. At the same time, 4 (3.52 %) women of 2 groups were diagnosed with extragenital pathology, and gynecological pathology was eliminated. The most common were endometrial polyps, chronic endometritis, cervical canal stenosis, and synechiae in the uterine cavity. Endoscopic technologies have expanded the diagnostic capabilities of investigating intrauterine pathology at the stage of fertility restoration and preparation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and overcoming the causes of infertility. Conclusions. Hysteroscopy with morphological examination of the endometrial remains the main method of diagnosing intrauterine pathology. The obtained data will help the clinician to make the correct diagnosis in a timely manner and develop optimal and individual patient management tactics.
Industrial Law Cases

The British Parliamentary model, as adopted in New Zealand, is characterised by the supremacy of the Rule of Law, as opposed to the arbitrary whim of man or party. The Prime Minister, and "regal authority," are subject to the Rule of Law: see Fitzgerald v Muldoon (1976) 2 NZLR 615, the case wherein the Chief Justice decided that Mr Muldoon could not suspend an act of Parliament by press release. Trade unions are subject to the Rule of Law, as the other caseg noted in these pages illustrate. The instant decision demonstrates that even lawyers and law firms are bound by the Rule of Law; like other employers they must obey the statutory requirements of dispute settlement.

The Inspector of Awards came to the Industrial Court in September 1975, seeking arrears of wages for the use of several workers under Printing Employees Awards from 1971 through 1974. The action was set aside, pending decision by the Court of Appeal on the proper statutory limitation period. The Industrial Relations Act now in force allows a claim to be made, under Section 158, within six years after the wages become due and payable. By that provision, the Inspector would seem to be able to recover all the wages sought.

Elektronik edebiyatın popüler türü: kişisel bloglar
Authors: PALİÇKO Elif
Published: December 2023

20. yüzyılın buluşları arasında önemli bir konumda değerlendirebileceğimiz “World Wide Web” (Web yahut WWW), edebiyatın da değişmesine katkı sağlar. Literatürde “elektronik edebiyat” yahut “dijital edebiyat” birçok türde karşımıza çıkar. Blog da elektronik edebiyatın popüler diyebileceğimiz türlerinden biridir. “Dijital çağ”ın başlangıcında kullanıcılar tarafından zirveye taşınan “weblog” veya “blog” türü, ilkin “internet günlüğü” şeklinde karşımıza çıkar. Blogların gördüğü ilgi, hızla çoğalmalarına sebep olur. Dolayısıyla blog yazarlarının (blogger) niteliği ve çeşitliliği ile birçok türde blog ortaya çıkar. Bu durum yalnızca kullanıcılar ile alakalı değildir. Popüler bir elektronik edebiyat türüne dönüşen bloglar için sağlayıcı servisler ve platformlar da çeşitlenir. Kullanıcının tüketimine yönelik güncellemeler ve geliştirmeler, blogların günümüzde de popülerliğini sürdürmesine katkı sağlamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, kişisel blog türü özelinde, elektronik edebiyatta blogların yeri ve blog yazarlarının edebiyat ile olan ilişkisi değerlendirilecektir. Çalışma süresince taranan ve incelenen kişisel bloglarda öne çıkan en önemli özellik, yazarların elektronik bir “bellek mekânı” kurmalarıdır. Bu bakımdan şahsi ve sanal bir “bellek mekânı” kurgusu olan bu blog türü, aynı zamanda “tüketim toplumu”nun bir ürünü olarak gösteriye dönüşme eğilimindedir. Bir diğer öne çıkan nitelik ise kişisel blogların bir okul gibi işleyişi neticesinde, kullanıcılara çoğunlukla ücretsiz, “otodidakt yazarlık eğitimi” sunmasıdır. Etkileşimli bir ortamda yazma denemesi yapan kullanıcılar, kendi yazma deneyimlerini de okurlarına göre şekillendirir. Yazar ve okur arasındaki mesafeyi yok eden blog türü, böylece kendi topluluğunu da oluşturur. Bütün özellikleri bağlamında, kişisel bloglar elektronik edebiyatın popüler bir türüdür.
Antik Yunan tiyatrosunun çağdaş yorumunda fiziksel tiyatronun bir yaklaşım olarak kullanılması ve bir uygulama örneği Sofokles’in Antigone oyunu
Authors: KANDEMİR ŞAHİN Fatma
Published: December 2023

İlk olarak 1986 yılında İngiltere’de Lloyd Newson öncülüğünde kurulan DV8 Physical Theatre grubuyla birlikte popülerlik kazanan fiziksel tiyatro kavramı, çağdaş tiyatro kapsamında ele alınan bir uygulama bütünüdür. Oyuncunun tüm beden olanaklarının kullanılmaya çalışıldığı fiziksel tiyatro uygulamalarında, şiirsel bir sahneleme dili yaratılmaya çalışılmakta, ifade ve yorum biçimi görselleşmekte, harekete dayalı, sembolik bir anlatım üslubu tercih edilmektedir. Anlatımda metaforik ve göstergeler dizisi oluşturmak için oyuncunun tüm beden olanaklarının kullanıldığı uygulamalarda, oyuncu sahne üstünde devinen bir mekanizmanın merkezi ve fiziksel bir parçası haline gelmektedir. Ancak farklı gösterim türlerinin, anlatım üsluplarının bir araya geldiği bu yapı, uygulamacılara geniş bir deneme yelpazesi sunmakla beraber fiziksel tiyatro çalışmalarının nasıl olması gerektiğine dair bir yöntem önerisi sunamamaktadır. Çünkü her çalışma kendi içinde ayrı bir özgünlük değeri taşımakta ve her bir sahneleme biçimi yeni bir tür gibi birbirinden farklılık göstermektedir. Sınırsız yorum imkânı sunan dönemin çağdaş yaklaşımlarında, her uygulama yeni bir denemedir ve her çalışma kendi özerk yapısını meydana getirir ön kabulünden hareketle bu araştırmada bir fiziksel tiyatro denemesi yapılmıştır. Çalışmada temel amaç şu sorulara cevap bulmaktır: Fiziksel tiyatro, Antik Yunan tiyatrosunun çağdaş yorumunda bir yaklaşım olarak kullanılabilir mi? Fiziksel tiyatro, klasik bir metnin çağdaş yorumunda bir yaklaşım olarak kullanılabilir mi? Karma araştırma modelinin kullanıldığı çalışmanın eylem araştırması aşamasında Sofokles’in yazmış olduğu Antigone tragedyası örnek metin olarak seçilmiştir. Bu aşamada, Konstantin Stanislavski, Jacques Lecoq, Rudolf Laban, Pina Baush’un seçilmiş uygulamaları fiziksel tiyatro düzleminde çalışılmıştır. Nicel verilerin toplandığı ikinci aşamada, uygulama denemesine dair bilgiler anket aracılığıyla seyirciden toplanmıştır.
Aka Gündüz’ün O Bir Devirdi Piyesinin Kurgusal Açıdan İncelenmesi
Authors: ALVER Tolga
Published: December 2023

Erken Cumhuriyet Dönemi yazarları arasında yer alan Aka Gündüz, roman ve hikâyelerinin yanında dönemin konjonktörüne uygun piyesler de kaleme almıştır. Mavi Yıldırım, Beyaz Kahraman, Köy Muallimi gibi piyesleri yazan Aka Gündüz’ün önemli piyeslerinden birisi de 1938 yılında kaleme aldığı O Bir Devirdi piyesidir. Piyeste Cumhuriyet aydını olan emekli bir başöğretmenin Kurtuluş Savaşı esnasında yaşadığı olaylar anlatılır. Eser, yazar tarafından Cumhuriyet’in on beşinci yıl dönümü için yazılmış ve bu doğrultuda Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi tarafından bastırılmıştır. O Bir Devirdi piyesi bir giriş, dört perde ve dokuz tablodan oluşmaktadır. Eseri diğer dönem piyeslerinden ayıran unsur ise iç içe üç kurgudan oluşmasıdır. İlk kurgu başöğretmenin köy halkına yaptığı konuşma ile başlar. Ardından kendisine sorulan sorular üzerine esas kurguya dönülür. İkinci kurgu esas olayların anlatıldığı Kurtuluş Savaşı zamanlarıdır. Öğretmenin dönemin müftüsü ile yapmış olduğu mücadeleler okura aktarılır. Üçüncü kurgu ise ikinci kurgunun içerisine sıkıştırılmış bir tiyatro oyunudur. Oyun içinde oyun içeren üçüncü kurgu dönem piyeslerinde pek de görülmeyen bir alt kurmacayı okuyucuya sunar. Diğer taraftan Millî Mücadele dönemini kapsayan ikinci kurgu ve o kurgunun içerisine yerleştirilmiş üçüncü kurgu, dönemin yaşanmış bir olayından esinlenilmiştir. Taha Toros Arşivi’nden aktarılan bir gazete haberindeki olay yazar tarafından kurmaca bir metne dönüştürülmüştür. O Bir Devirdi piyesi hem üç ayrı kurgudan oluşması hem de gerçek bir olayın kurmacaya uyarlanması açısından dikkat çeken bir metindir. Bu çalışmada söz konusu piyes, kurgu açısından analiz edilecektir.
Azerbaycan Sineması’nda Sovyet Döneminin Korku Janrı Üzerinden Yansımaları: Khennas Filmi Örneği
Authors: ŞİMŞEK KAYA Gizem
Published: December 2023

Önce Rus İmparatorluğu’nun sonrasında ise Sovyet Sosyalist Cumhuriyetler Birliği’nin (SSCB) içerisinde yer alan Azerbaycan, yıllar sonra SSCB’nin dağılmaya başlaması üzerine 1991 tarihinde bağımsızlığını ilan edebilmiştir. Bu dönemde birçok olayda binlerce Azeri Türk’ün ölümüyle sonuçlanan çatışmalar halk üzerinde derin izler bırakmıştır. Toplumsal değişimi sağlayan, siyasi ve sosyal yaşam dönüşümlerine doğrudan veya dolaylı etki eden olayların edebiyat, müzik, sinema gibi sanat dallarında izdüşümlerini görmek de bu bağlamda şaşırtıcı değildir. Zira sanat eserleri, istisnai durumlar haricinde içinden çıktıkları toplumun yaşantısından, değişim ve dönüşümlerinden beslenir. Toplum, doğrudan olmasa dahi sanata her zaman yön verir; sanat eserlerinin ve akımlarının ilerleyişi konusunda belirleyici unsur olmaktadır. İlk örnekleri 1898 yılındaki belgesellerle başlayan sinema yolculuğuna dram türündeki 1915 Avrad ile devam eden Azerbaycan Sineması’nda, günümüze değin ağırlıklı olarak dram türünde eserler çıkmıştır. Bu da toplumun sanata yön verme olgusu ile birebir örtüşen bir durumdur. Çünkü Azerbaycan sinemasında toplumun yaşadığı acılar ve siyasi dönüşümler kaçınılmaz biçimde dram türü ile ifade edilmiştir. Ülke sineması olarak öne çıkmayan ve akademik çalışmalar haricinde diğer ülke sinemalarına nazaran göz ardı edilmiş konumda olan Azerbaycan Sineması, korku türündeki ilk örneğini 2017 yılında Elvin Abdulla tarafından çekilen Khennas ile vermiştir. Film Sovyet-Azerbaycan çatışmalarına dair alt metinler barındırması yani topluma ait hafızayı içermesi ve ülkede bu türde çekilmiş ilk film olma özellikleri nedeniyle örneklem olarak seçilmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Khennas filminde kullanılan korku unsurları ile Azerbaycan-Sovyet çatışması olguları eleştirel kuram üzerinden incelenmiştir.
اللهجة الموصلية وأثرها اللغوي والثقافي دراسة تحليلية في الأصول والمؤثرات
Authors: YASEEN Mohammed.abdulkareem
Published: December 2023

تهدف هذه الدراسة إلى مناقشة عدة قضايا، من أهمها التعريف باللهجة الموصلية وكيفية نشأتها ومصدرها وما هو الأصل اللغوي لها، وكذلك دراسة تأثيرها على اللهجات العراقية الأخرى. إن اللهجة الموصلية تتميز بنطق صوتي يختلف تماماً عن باقي اللهجات العراقية، وهذا الاختلاف كان سببًا في تأثر تلك اللهجات بها بسبب انتقال النطق الصوتي بينها. علاوة على ذلك، تأثرت اللهجة الموصلية بشكل واضح من خلال استعمال ألفاظ متعددة مستمدة من لهجات ولغات أخرى. تأتي اللغة التركية بوضوح كأحد اللغات التي تأثرت بها اللهجة الموصلية بشكل كبير. يعكس هذا التأثر العلاقات والروابط التي تربط اللهجات العراقية مع بعضها البعض وبين اللهجات العربية القديمة. وترجع هذه التأثيرات جزئياً إلى قرب الرقعة الجغرافية لمدينة الموصل من تركيا والدول المجاورة الأخرى، بما في ذلك اللغة الفارسية. وفي هذا السياق، يتعامل هذا البحث مع تأثير اختلاط الثقافات التركية والعربية والفارسية على اللهجة الموصلية وتحليل النتائج من النواحي الصوتية والدلالية. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، حيث يهدف هذا البحث إلى استكشاف لهجة الموصلية والتركيز على تأثيراتها وتفاعلاتها اللغوية مع اللهجات العراقية الأخرى. تتميز اللهجة الموصلية بنطق صوتي فريد يختلف تمامًا عن لهجات العراق الأخرى، مما أدى إلى تأثيرها على تلك اللهجات من خلال تبادل النطق الصوتي. بالإضافة إلى ذلك، تعرضت اللهجة الموصلية لتأثيرات لغوية متعددة نتيجة استيعاب كلمات ومفردات من لهجات ولغات متعددة. تقدم الدراسة تحليلًا عميقًا للتقارب اللفظي والدلالي بين اللغة التركية ولهجة الموصلية، بمراجعة اللهجة الموصلية من النواحي الصوتية والدلالية. وتسلط الضوء أيضًا على الآثار الاجتماعية والثقافية لهذا التفاعل اللغوي، مما يعزز فهمنا للتقاربات اللسانية والثقافية في المنطقة.

بشكل عام، يُظهر هذا البحث كيف يمكن للغة أن تكون وسيلة للتواصل والتفاعل الثقافي بين مجتمعات مختلفة، مع التركيز على الدور البارز الذي لعبته اللهجة الموصلية وتأثير اللغة التركية عليها.
Çin ve Osmanlı minyatürlerinde “kadın figürü”
Authors: MADEN KALKAN Çile
Published: December 2023

Çin ve Türk toplumları ataerkil olarak öne çıksalar da bu toplumların tarihi yönetim süreçlerine bakıldığında arka planda her zaman “anne, eş” olarak bir kadının etkisi görülmektedir. Çoğunlukla arka planda varlığını hissettiğimiz kadınların toplumdaki yerini anlamak için bu çalışmada toplumların tarihi kataloğu diyebileceğimiz minyatür sanatında “kadın figürü” üzerinde durulmuştur. Doğu ülkelerine atfedilen minyatürün ilk uygulamaları Orta Asya ve Çin’de görülürken, diğer ülkelerde bu uygulamalara “kadın” olgusunun girişi kültüre göre çeşitli zamanlarda gerçekleşmiştir. Çin minyatürlerinde kadın figürü ilk çizimlerden itibaren varlık bulurken, Osmanlı İmparatorluğu’nda Batı’ya açılma politikası ile birlikte bu figürler, sosyal ve kültürel toplum yapısı çerçevesinde gelişim göstermiştir. Çalışmanın amacı; kadın figürleri aracılığıyla iki kültürün tarihi içerisinde kadının yeri ve önemini açıklayarak, bu iki kültürün minyatür sanatındaki etkileşimlerini gözler önüne sermektir. Çalışmada veri toplamak amacıyla China Academic Journals (CNKI) veri tabanı ve açık kaynaklardan elde edilen bilgiler ve bu alanda yazılmış kitaplar kullanılarak, geleneksel Çin minyatüründe kadın figürü üzerine çalışan sanatçılar; Osmanlı minyatüründe daha geç diyebileceğimiz 17. yüzyılda ortaya çıkan kadın figürleri Nakkaş Abdülcelil Çelebi (Levnî/ ?-1732), 18. yüzyılda yaşamış Enderûnlu Fâzıl (1759-1810) ve Abdullah Buhari’nin (?-?) çizimleri üzerinden ele alınmıştır. Bu doğrultuda genel olarak Osmanlı minyatüründe Çin etkileşimleri olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Ancak söz konusu “kadın” olduğunda; Çin minyatürlerinde kadın figürlerinin erkek egemen toplumu ifade ederken, Osmanlı minyatüründe kadın figürlerinin ise kadının kendisini ifade ettiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
Electronic Word of Mouth, Attitude, Motivation, and Travel Intention in the Post-COVID-19 Pandemic
Authors: Tung Le Thanh , My Duong Tien Ha
Published: December 2023

The COVID-19 pandemic has prompted individuals to spend more time searching for information on social media channels. Although most countries have entered a new normal, these channels still play a crucial role in people's decisions. Therefore, this paper aims to analyze the relationship between electronic word of mouth and the attitude, motivation, and travel intention of potential tourists. To achieve this objective, an online survey has gathered 431 valid responses for analysis. Structural equation modeling was employed to investigate the relationships between variables in the proposed model. We find evidence to show that eWOM positively affects potential tourists’ travel intentions, while attitude and motivation play positive mediating roles in the effect of eWOM on customers' travel intentions. These results suggest the received information from online reviews, along with optimistic attitudes and motivations, can promote potential tourists’ decisions. Moreover, while eWOM can be a useful source to grasp customers’ demands, it may also spread unfavorable reviews about the destination. Hence, stakeholders should try to well manage eWOM because if eWOM conveys positive messages, it can help boost tourism in the post-coronavirus pandemic. The paper contributes to the current literature by identifying a critical variable affecting customers’ travel intention during the post-pandemic era.

Published: December 2023

The rapid expansion of tourist destinations has important environmental, climate change, and socioeconomic impacts on countries.  The main objectives of the paper are: to analyze sustainable tourism concepts, indicators, and frameworks of sustainability assessment in tourism; to develop a framework for sustainable tourism assessment of tourist destinations; to apply a developed framework for sustainability assessment of tourism destinations in Visegrad countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia) from the lens of green, digital transformations and boosting social-economic resilience. These are crucial policy pillars due to experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main methods and data applied: several MCDM tools were applied to rank Visegrad countries on the progress achieved in sustainable tourism development. The data on indicators of the EU Tourism Dashboard were applied. The results of the ranking indicated that the best-performing country in terms of sustainable tourism development was Poland, following Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia. The main reason for this was the best results in digitalization and social-economic resilience shown by Poland and Hungary. The main policy implications for these countries are linked to the enhancement of environmental impact mitigation policies in tourism. The main contribution of this paper is a sustainability assessment of tourism destinations in Visegrad countries based on policy priorities and the newest available data by applying advanced MCDM tools.

Authors: Sholehah Hijriati , Abdullah Taufik , Azwarudin  , Aprianti Sri
Published: December 2023

The tofu industry is a type of industry that operates in the field of food processing from soybean raw materials. The tofu industry is dominated by small-scale businesses, most integrated into residential areas. The tofu industry has yet to process the liquid waste it produces. High environmental pollution can result in the death of aquatic biota due to lack of oxygen. This research aims to reduce BOD and COD levels that do not meet quality standards. Based on this, research was conducted to reduce the organic content in tofu liquid waste using pumice stone as a filtration medium. The research used a 2.5-inch PVC pipe with a height of 70 cm and a media size of 8 mesh, which was heated at temperatures of 50°C and 100°C. The research results after treatment showed that the initial concentration of BOD levels was 160 mg/L. After going through the filtration process with media heating treatment at 50°C and 100°C, the BOD levels were reduced to 116.8, 76.8, and 40 mg/L, respectively, with 52% and 75% reduction effectiveness. While the initial concentration of COD levels was 326 mg/L, after going through the filtration process with media heating treatment at  50°C and 100°C, the COD levels were reduced to  252 and 198 mg/L, respectively, and the effectiveness of the reduction was 23% and 39%.

Published: December 2023

In this review, latex from the Hevea Brasiliensis tree is presented as a material originating from nature, used to produce natural rubber, raw material for countless products for industry, as well as the manufacture of preservatives, and gloves, among others. Nowadays, its potential is expanding into various technological areas, one of which is biomedical, as described in this article. Latex has the possibility of being preserved using ammonium, which is a chemical of high health risk, but nowadays it is being substituted by acid systems excluding traditional chemicals. With these new preservation processes, the prospective use of latex for the design of biosensor scaffolds for drug release, and as membranes that can replace synthetic latex in patches for bioremediation in soft and bone tissues, synthetic muscles, membranes for biological micro laboratories, among others, is being studied to optimize its possibilities.
Deus, uma atenção
Authors: Marques Bárbara Romeika Rodrigues
Published: December 2023

O presente estudo discute em que medida a relação com o sagrado potencializa o elo ético-político do ser no mundo. A partir da indissociabilidade entre a experiência de vida e a obra de Simone Weil, pergunta por uma atenção à graça divina que possibilite intermediar o sentir e o agir e consolide a atitude insurgente frente à barbárie do mundo moderno. Apresenta a hipótese de uma experiência atencional que é, ao mesmo tempo, familiarização da consciência com a beleza das formas da natureza, afirmação da pluralidade e resguardo de um ethos de amor e paz. “Só a atenção religiosa é a atenção plena”, afirma Simone Weil. Desta perspectiva, o estudo desenvolve a ideia de que a oração e a atenção constituem a mesma faceta de um desejo de encontro com o sagrado: a fortuna de tomar a contradição como elemento divino, a graça de sintonizar transcendência e afirmação da vida, na compaixão e no significado de amor ao próximo.

Abstract: The present study discusses the extent to which the relationship with the sacred enhances the ethical-political bond of being in the world. From the indissociability between the life experience and the work of Simone Weil, it seeks to ask for an attention to divine grace that makes it possible to mediate feeling and acting and consolidates the insurgent attitude towards the barbarism of the modern world. It presents the hypothesis of an attentional experience that is, at the same time, familiarization of the conscience with the beauty of the forms of nature, affirmation of plurality, and protection of an ethos of love and peace. “Only religious attention is mindfulness”, says Simone Weil. From this perspective, the study seeks to develop the idea that prayer and attention constitute the same facet of a desire to encounter the sacred: the fortune of taking contradiction as a divine element, the grace of tuning into transcendence and affirmation of life, in compassion and the meaning of love for others.

Keywords: Simone Weil; Sacred; Attention; God.
Católicos contra a fraternidade
Authors: Gripp Glícia
Published: December 2023

Este artigo examina os ataques contra as Campanhas da Fraternidade, protagonizados por grupos católicos laicos da nova extrema direita ou neointegristas. A partir do enfoque da sociologia da cultura, qualitativo, coletou-se os dados das redes sociais das lideranças e dos ativistas dos grupos. A interpretação dos dados foi realizada com a metodologia de análise de conteúdo, na identificação de padrões na comunicação. Na conclusão, observa-se que os grupos estudados produzem e reproduzem um conjunto de pressupostos, tomados como certos, que guiam, intuitivamente, a ação de seus membros, a partir de uma compreensão da fraternidade restrita àqueles que possuem os mesmos pressupostos.

Prevalence of Permethrin Resistance in Culex Tarsalis Populations in Southern California
Authors: Tsecouras Julie C. , Thiemann Tara C. , Hung Kim Y. , Henke Jennifer A. , Gerry Alec C.
Published: December 2023

In the western United States, Culex tarsalis is the most important vector of West Nile virus. Insecticides containing permethrin or other pyrethroid compounds are commonly used to control these mosquitoes. Because of the range of environments where Cx. tarsalis are found, this species is under insecticide pressure from both vector control and agricultural spraying. Mosquito populations may evolve resistance through mechanisms such as target site insensitivity, including the frequently identified knockdown resistance (kdr) mutations. Prevalence of permethrin resistance was determined for Cx. tarsalis from 5 southern California field sites representing 2 distinct valley regions (Coachella Valley and Inland Valley), which are geographically separated by the north-south-running Peninsular Mountain Ranges. These two valley regions are >100 km apart and vary considerably in their environmental and habitat characteristics. Permethrin resistance in mosquito populations was determined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) bottle bioassay, using glass bottles coated with permethrin at 0.19 μg/cm2 of internal surface. Permethrin resistance was evident in Cx. tarsalis populations from the Coachella Valley field sites with all sites showing similar mortality in the bottle bioassay, while Cx. tarsalis from the Inland Valley field sites were largely susceptible to permethrin, with mortality rates that were similar to a susceptible lab strain of Cx. tarsalis.

The establishment and oviposition of Aedes aegypti can vary from one location to another partially due to differing temperature and precipitation. In 2017, Ae. aegypti was first detected in Merced in the Central Valley of California. The objectives of this study were to examine the influence of temperature and precipitation on oviposition of Ae. aegypti, and to determine the beginning and end of the seasonal activity of Ae. aegypti in Merced. The study site consisted of a residential area in the north-east region of Merced where Ae. aegypti was first detected in Merced County. Fifty-four residences were randomly selected as ovitrap sites. Ovitraps were placed at field sites weekly for 12 months, from September 27, 2017, to September 27, 2018. Each week, ovitraps were inspected for the presence of mosquito eggs. Egg counts were used to calculate the following oviposition indices: the ovitrap index (OI) (percent of traps positive) and the egg density index (EDI) (eggs/positive traps). Oviposition occurred primarily from May through October, above a minimum temperature of 10°C, and when almost no rainfall occurred (0.5 mm total). During the year, the percent of positive traps per month ranged from approximately 1.2–67.3%, with highest values in June to October (43.9–67.3%). The highest mean monthly EDI was from July to October (34–44.6) and peaked in October at 44.6 eggs/trap. The EDI values are similar to other locations where Ae. aegypti transmits endemic vector-borne disease. These findings provide baseline data for Ae. aegypti control in Merced and the Central Valley of California.

Published: December 2023

Aim: This study aims to evaluate the alterations in Oxypeucedanin (OXY)-mediated anticancer activity in different media. Second aim is to predict the affinity of OXY to electron transfer chain (ETC) complexes.
Materials and Methods: MTT and LDH leakage assays were performed with OXY. Molecular docking studies were also conducted to predict the affinity of OXY to ETC complexes.
Results: 250 µM OXY reduced viability in glucose media. ≥50 µM OXY decreased viability in galactose media. ≥50 µM OXY increased membrane disruption in galactose media. Molecular docking studies also showed that OXY might possess the capacity to bind to the inhibition sites of Complex I and IV.
Conclusion: Galactose-conditioned media exacerbated the OXY-mediated cytotoxicity. Preliminary results suggested that mitotoxicity might take part in anticancer activity. Furthermore, OXY might cause ETC dysfunctions due to selective inhibition of Complex I and IV.

Published: December 2023

Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate whether hematological parameters play a significant role in the relationship between hematological parameters and seizure occurrence in children with febrile seizures (FS) by comparing them to a healthy control group with no fever or seizures.
Materials and Methods: One-hundred forty-one patients diagnosed with FS and with available a complete blood count results and a control group of 143 children were finally enrolled.
Results: The study group consisted of 141 patients, 57 girls (40.4%) and 84 boys (59.6%) (M/F=1.4). Mean age at the time of first FS was 22.89 ± 13.95 months. Ninety-two (65.2%) of the study group were diagnosed with simple FS, 32 (22.7%) with complex FS, and 17 (12.1%) with febrile status epilepticus (FSE).
Conclusion: Since our neutrophil, lymphocyte, eosinophil, and mean platelet volume (MPV) results were statistically significant in patients with FS, it is thought that these markers may represent potential predictive parameters in that condition.

Authors: Cenk PAŞA
Published: December 2023

Styrax officinalis L. species is a shrub-shaped plant belonging to the Styracaceae family, distributed in Central America, Southeast Europe, Southwest Asia and the Mediterranean region. The Styracaceae family consists of small trees and shrubs mostly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions. The genus Styrax differs from other genera of this family in that it produces a resinous substance that is usually secreted when the bark and stems are damaged. The resin of the Styrax officinalis L. species, which was called “storax” in the past, is used in traditional medicine in the Mediterranean basin, especially for antiseptic purposes and against respiratory diseases. It is also used externally medicinally, to heal skin wounds and to treat scabies. In Latin America it is used as an antiseptic, expectorant and also for the treatment of heart diseases, stroke, leprosy, constipation and bronchitis. The leaves, fruits, resin, fruit peels, flowers and seeds of Styrax officinalis have natural products rich in various biological properties. It has been determined that the herbal materials, crude extracts and isolated chemical components of the plant are used biologically and pharmacologically. As a result of this research; cardiovascular diseases, tuberculosis, edema, paralysis, leprosy, constipation, skin wounds, scabies, skin rash, diphtheria, intestinal ulcers, acute earache, toothache, eye inflammations, kidney and bladder pain, diphtheria, leukorrhoea have been revealed to be an important medicinal plant used in the treatment of malignant tumors, fever and respiratory diseases.

Published: December 2023

This literature review paper highlights and updates the THC quantification methods applied for the differentiation of Cannabis varieties and final Cannabis products as a part of the quality control measures. The quantification method also helps to differentiate between Medical Cannabis sativa (drug or marijuana) and Industrial Cannabis sativa L. (Hemp) since THC levels are different. Cannabis has been used for thousands of years for recreational, medicinal, or religious purposes and does not produce Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) is produced by the cannabis plant as a precursor. The acidic residue of THCA undergo decarboxylation upon heating producing the psychoactive, Cannabinoid, Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). A variety of analytical techniques have been developed for quantification and qualification of Cannabinoids and other compounds in Cannabis plant. The most common cannabinoid quantification techniques include color tests, testing gadgets, Cannabinoids direct ELISA Kit, thin layer chromatography (TLC), gas chromatography (GC) and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) followed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and Nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR). The lack of accurate reporting of THC potency can have impacts on medical patients controlling dosage, recreational consumers expecting an effect aligned with price, and trust in the industry as a whole. Therefore, quantification of final Cannabis product plays an important role in quality control measures. This literature review paper is developed as a part of Cannabis Science awareness programme since Cannabis with 2 different names (marijuana and hemp) is used as a medicine, food and psychotropic drug (THC).

The impact of patent application on economic growth in Africa
Authors: George Duodu Kissi  , Samuel Gyedu
Published: December 2023

This study investigates the impact of the application of patents on economic growth for 9 selected African countries between the period 2000 and 2017. We use the least squares ordinal econometric framework to test linear relationships and varying effects on patents application and economic growth. The findings showed that conditioning on other growth determinants, the impact of patent applications on economic growth was positive among African countries. Although patent applications affect economic growth, it is weak in magnitude. The results showed that a 1% increase in patent application will increase GDP per capita by 0.43% for all countries sampled. Patent applications have a significant impact on economic growth among the African countries for the period 2000-2008 and 2009-2017. The results show that conditioning other growth determinants, 1% increase in patent application in years that vary less than 2009 will contribute to an increase of 0.395% in GDP growth, while the percentage increase in patents application in years that vary greater than 2008 will contribute to a high increase of 0.437% in GDP growth. In other words the impact of patents on GDP growth has continued to increase from 2000 -2017. The results also show that African countries can increase their economic growth from increasing patent applications.
