Authors: Silva Eliane Gomes da , Kunz Elenor , Sant'Agostino Lucia Helena Ferraz
Published: March 2020

Com base na Semiótica de C. S. Peirce, o objetivo deste estudo é refletir sobre as temáticas do modo específico de ser criança, das suas singularidades/alteridades e da produção de linguagem/signos como condições fundantes que configuram a prática pedagógica com crianças, compreendida como experiência vívida e relações comunicativas no fluxo das semioses. O método utilizado é o abdutivo/indutivo proposto por Peirce, pelo qual pudemos estabelecer relações específicas com a Concepção Dialógica do Movimento Humano - Se-Movimentar.

Objetivo do estudo foi investigar os efeitos de três repetições de 10 segundos de permanência do método estático sobre os ganhos de amplitude de movimento em adultos jovens não atletas. Os 59 sujeitos foram divididos em um grupo experimental (GE; n=41), que foi submetido a exercícios de alongamento estático por 16 semanas, com aplicação de três repetições de 10 segundos de tempo de permanência na posição de cada movimento e um grupo controle (GC; n=18), que não foi submetido a nenhum treino. Foram avaliados os movimentos de abdução do ombro (AO) e flexão de quadril (FQ) através de goniometria. A ANOVA de medidas repetidas revelou aumentos significativos no GE do pré para o pós-teste no movimento AO (Δ% = 8,9; p = 0,00) e FQ (Δ% = 18,7; p= 0,00). No pós-teste não houve diferenças intergrupos. Conclui-se que o método proposto foi suficiente para produzir aumento significativo nos níveis de flexibilidade nos movimentos analisados.

Published: March 2020

Este estudio describe la estructura antropométrica de los mejores jugadores de waterpolo españoles en las categorías júnior y sénior; y en segundo lugar, pretende determinar si existen diferencias antropométricas, en la composición corporal y en el somatotipo entre ambas categorías. La muestra empleada en este estudio fueron 23 jugadores de la selección española de waterpolo, de ellos, 9 jugadores de categoría júnior y 14 sénior. Las diferencias estadísticas más significantes, entre ambas categorías, son en aquellas variables que guardan relación indirecta con los niveles de fuerza y con la experiencia. Los jugadores de la categoría júnior presentan un somatotipo mesomórfico equilibrado, mientras que los jugadores de la categoría sénior presentan un somatotipo endo-mesomórfico.
Educação da mente e do corpo, professor pesquisador reflexivo e a ciência do concreto
Authors: Silva Tania Mara Tavares , Lovisolo Hugo Rodolfo
Published: March 2020

A partir das contribuições de Lovisolo (1995), que usa a imagem do bricoleur de Lévi-Strauss para pensar a prática docente, tentamos neste artigo resignificar as contribuições da corrente de formação docente denominada de Professor Pesquisador Reflexivo (PPR). Seus principais autores, sobretudo, Stenhouse, é visto sob a perspectiva que domina em sua interpretação e que enfatiza a autonomia, a criatividade, a arte e posta em contraposição com a perspectiva delineada por Lovisolo a partir dos entendimentos de Lévi-Strauss sobre as formas do pensamento primitivo e científico. Por último, são postas questões sobre o funcionamento do ensino que, o romantismo que vigora no campo da formação do PPR, parece operar recusando tanto esse tipo de questões quanto suas possíveis respostas.
A mídia e a construção do herói esportivo: análise de publicidades com Ronaldo "fenômeno"
Authors: Godoi Marcos Roberto
Published: March 2020

O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar os discursos e imagens utilizadas na construção do herói esportivo. O corpus de análise foi constituído por três peças publicitárias com o jogador de futebol Ronaldo, que foram descritas e posteriormente analisadas com base na Análise de Discurso e na Semiologia. Pode-se concluir que a propaganda "Ronaldo toureiro" criou a imagem do herói capaz de feitos extraordinários, inexplicáveis e admiráveis, misturando elementos do real e do irreal. Já nas propagandas "Boas vindas a Ronaldo" e "Ronaldo brahmeiro", as estratégias discursivas constroem a imagem do herói capaz de superar os obstáculos e dificuldades, ressaltando a persistência, determinação e a capacidade de acreditar em si, se ancorando na formação ideológica do neoliberalismo.

Published: March 2020

O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o desempenho e a contribuição da informação visual no controle postural de crianças praticantes e não praticantes de ginástica artística (GA). Quarenta e três meninas, 23 praticantes de GA e 20 não praticantes de GA, idade 5 a 7 e 9 a 11 anos, permaneceram em pé sobre uma plataforma de força em três bases de apoio: bipodal, semi-tandem stance e base reduzida, com olhos abertos e com olhos fechados. A área de deslocamento do centro de pressão e o índice de contribuição visual foram calculados. Os resultados indicaram que a prática de GA melhora o controle postural de crianças nos anos iniciais de desenvolvimento. Ainda, crianças praticantes de GA utilizam melhor informação visual que crianças não praticantes de GA para manter a postura ereta mais estável.

ABSTRACT Objective To determine if there is a statistically significant difference in the flexibility of the curves in the adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) by using lateral inclination radiographs in supine or prone decubitus. Methods We evaluated 19 patients with AIS, waiting for surgery. Radiographs of the patients were performed in orthostatic anteroposterior incidences and right and left lateral inclinations in prone and supine decubitus. The comparison between prone and supine decubitus was performed through the flexibility rates of the curves measured in each position. Results The mean flexibility rates measured in lateral inclination radiographs with the patient in the supine position were 54.4% ± 38.8% in the proximal thoracic curve, 45.8% ± 15.6% in the main thoracic curve, and 80.5% ± 20.7% in the thoracolumbar / lumbar curve. When the lateral inclination radiographs were performed with the patient in the prone position, we observed mean flexibility rates of 66.4% ± 34.3% in the proximal thoracic curve, 50.1% ± 12.8% in the main thoracic curve, and 80.6% ± 19.0% in the thoracolumbar / lumbar curve. Conclusion This present study did not find a statistically significant difference between the flexibility rates of the curves in the prone and supine positions, suggesting that the two radiographic methods analyzed are similar in the evaluation of the flexibility of the curves in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

Comprehensive Evaluation of Relapse Risk (CERR) Score for Colorectal Liver Metastases: Development and Validation
Authors: Chen Yijiao , Chang Wenju , Ren Li , Chen Jingwen , Tang Wentao , Liu Tianyu , Jian Mi , Liu Yu , Wei Ye , Xu Jianmin
Published: March 2020

Background

The calculation of the tumor burden score (TBS) is not perfect because the bilobar spread of colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM) is neglected. The identification of an ideal prognostic scoring system for CRLM remains controversial.

Materials and Methods

Patients who underwent curative intent liver resection for CRLM from one medical center were enrolled in cohort 1 (787 patients) and cohort 2 (162 patients). Tumor relapse-free survival (RFS) was the main outcome. A Cox regression model was used to identify independent predictors of prognosis. The time-dependent area under the curve, calibration curve, and C-index were employed to validate the predictive ability of the survival model.

Results

Modified TBS (mTBS) was established by a mathematical equation with parameters including CRLM size, CRLM number, and unilobar or bilobar metastasis. Five preoperative predictors of worse RFS were identified in cohort 1 and incorporated into the Comprehensive Evaluation of Relapse Risk (CERR) score: KRAS/NRAS/BRAF-mutated tumor (1 point); node-positive primary (1 point); extrahepatic disease (1 point); carcinoembryonic antigen level > 200 ng/mL or carbohydrate antigen 19-9 (CA19-9) >200 U/mL (1 point); and mTBS between 5 and 11 (1 point) or 12 and over (2 points). Patients in cohort 1 were stratified by their CERR score into risk groups: the high-risk group (CERR score 4 or more), the medium-risk group (CERR score 2–3), and the low-risk group (CERR score 0–1). Importantly, internal validation in cohort 1 and further validation in cohort 2 both showed the superior discriminatory capacity of the CERR score.

Conclusion

mTBS should be promoted. The CERR score is a powerful prognostic tool that can help determine optimal clinical management strategies.

Implications for Practice

This work resulted in the successful modification of the tumor burden score and development of a comprehensive and practical prognostic scoring system—the Comprehensive Evaluation of Relapse Risk (CERR) score. The CERR score, with a better prognostic discriminatory ability, outperformed the Fong score. Perhaps more importantly, the CERR score is a powerful prognostic tool because it unified the most consistently reported prognostic factors. Therefore, the CERR score can assist doctors in determining optimal clinical management strategies.
The Active Video Game Paradox
Authors: Kirk Sam , Manley Andrew
Published: March 2020

Evidence shows inactivity and obesity are a substantial global burden, economically and physiologically. Sedentary screen time strongly contributes to this burden. Sedentary screen time is often achieved through video game play. Active video games (AVGs) tried to solve the screen time problem. AVGs work, having small to moderate positive effects on activity levels and body composition changes. However, they perform consistently poorly on the commercial market. This represents a paradox: AVGs work pragmatically, yet underperform commercially, limiting their impact practically. The purpose of this study was to explore this paradox with the aim of understanding how AVGs compare to non-active video games (NAVGs), based on gameplay experience. Findings revealed that AVGs have a significant negative comparison to NAVGs. Qualitative exploration highlighted several important considerations; gamer motivation, the lack of quality and variety in AVGs, the stereotype in AVGs, and the practical limitations of the hardware that supports AVGs. Perception of an augmented reality platform, a potential solution to the issues, was found to be positive.

Agroforestry systems of a Zapotec community in the Northern Sierra of Oaxaca, Mexico
Authors: Pascual-Mendoza Sunem , Manzanero-Medina Gladys Isabel , Saynes-Vásquez Alfredo , Vásquez-Dávila Marco Antonio
Published: March 2020

Background: Agroforestry systems have cultural, economic, social, and biodiversity conservation significance and are essential for the subsistence of communities.
Questions: Is there a difference in the richness, management and use of useful plants present in the agroforestry systems (home gardens, coffee plantations, and milpa)? What is the influence of sociodemographic factors on the distribution of traditional knowledge regarding plants of these systems?
Site and years of study: Las Delicias, municipality of Juquila Vijanos, Sierra Norte of Oaxaca, Mexico, from January 2016 to May 2018.
Methods: Visits to three agroforestry systems and semistructured interviews with 30 families to learn how they use the plants and to calculate the use value (UV) for each species. The similarity of floristic composition between agroforestry systems and the influence of sociodemographic factors (age, gender, schooling, economic activity and language) in the traditional plant knowledge was evaluated. The methods used were chi squared and proportions analyses, and a generalized linear analysis with Poisson distribution.
Results: The three agroforestry systems consisted of 211 of useful plants; home gardens and coffee plantations had a greater similarity in floristic composition; the dissimilarity of the milpa agroecosystem is related to seasonality. The plants with higher UVs were those with multiple uses, and are found mainly in coffee plantations. Production in these spaces is complemented to satisfy the needs of the inhabitants. Gender and economic activity are factors that influence the distribution of traditional knowledge.
Conclusion: Agroforestry systems provide a species richness differentiated for specific purposes but complementary to each other.

Property Rights of Nigerian Women at Divorce: A Case for a Redistribution Order
Authors: Efe Chinedu Justin , Eberechi Oghenerioborue Esther
Published: March 2020

In Nigeria, marriage is hardly conceived as a partnership of equals in relation to the property rights of spouses during marriage and at divorce. This is because the Nigerian courts do not redistribute property at divorce. This leaves the financially weaker spouse (usually the wife) at an economically disadvantaged position. This article therefore compares the position of the matrimonial laws in England with that of Nigeria, whether there are provisions for the redistribution of property between the spouses at divorce. The comparative analysis reveals that family laws in England empower the family court to redistribute property amongst spouses at divorce. On the contrary, the matrimonial property laws in Nigeria provide for the settlement of property at divorce. The analysis also reveals that the courts in Nigeria adopt the strict property rights approach in ordering the settlement of property, which is detrimental to the wife. The article also makes a case for a redistribution through the economic analysis of the worth of a housewife. The authors therefore argue that the Nigerian courts should depart from this approach and borrow from the English courts. The authors recommend the amendment of the matrimonial property laws to fill this gap. That would enable the Nigerian courts to make a redistribution order, so as to vary the recognised property rights of spouses in order to provide compensation for any reasonable loss caused by marriage and ensure that the financial benefits of marriage are shared on a just and equitable basis.
Brace yourselves: esports is coming
Authors: Kemp Chadley , Pienaar Paula , Rae Dale
Published: March 2020

Background: Competitive gaming (or esports) is an emerging phenomenon with a field of over 454 million fans globally. Despite its tremendous popularity and commercial support, esports is not widely understood. It is also disregarded as a reputable or credible form of competition. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) contends that esports may be considered a sporting activity, but this is limited to the basis of its sedentary nature and poor governance.

Discussion: These authors present evidence to inform and clarify misconceptions surrounding esports among the broader scientific community. They also encourage researchers to engage in further work into the phenomenon of competitive gaming with regard to health and performance, resulting in a better understanding of esports and guiding its development as a credible, competitive entity.

Behavioral Economic Theory: a Methodological Breakthrough or Extension of the Boundaries of Dominant Orthodoxy?
Authors: Nesterenko O. , Zdvizova M.
Published: March 2020

The article is devoted to the analysis of the place of behavioral approach in the structure of modern economic study. The evolution of views on the essence of economic behavior of individuals is desc ribed and the peculiarities of approaches to its definition of different economic schools are analyzed. The comparative analysis of behavioral and neoclassical approaches is presented; the peculiarity of the used method is the presentation of the neoclassical direction not in the aggregate, but as two main branches – cardinal and ordinal, which allowed for a more detailed analysis. The analysis revealed differences and some similarity of these directions of research. According to the findings, it is concluded that the behavioral approach is not the complete opposite of the neoclassical, but has a significant number of features close to the ideas of ordinary people, so it can be considered as a natural continuation of established ideas deepened through the use of an interdisciplinary approach. The article also outlines possible options for the development of neoclassical and behavioral approaches and the current issues for further research.
State sovereignty index as an indicator of public decision-making
Authors: Chala N. , Kharlamova G. , Markishev D.
Published: March 2020

The world community and governments are constantly on the lookout for an effective benchmark for countries: the benchmark for their success or failure, security and vulnerability, quality of life, op enness, etc. All indices are inherently objective integrators of subjectively objective indicators. The confidence in the index is based on the equilibrium of these categories. The study tried to evaluate the degree of the sovereignty of the countries, and that of Ukraine in particular, with the help of the objectivity, which can be involved by the powerful econometric apparatus. Selection, normalization, estimation of stationarity and correlation analysis gave permission to accumulate the base of more than 40 statistical indicators for the countries of the world to a generalized index and forecast the development of its dynamics for the future. The country’s sovereignty index is considered to be integral and having a scale from 0 to 100. For a more visual presentation of the results, the scale of the sovereignty index is proposed for comparable countries, with the definition of a country conditionally relatively independent of the influence and recommendations of external international organizations or entities. It turned out that, in general, all the studied countries had a similar tendency for the development of the phenomenon, which confirms the effect of globalization and synergy in the external activity of these countries. This index may turn into a future measure of the success and failure of government policy and become an instrument for choosing the direction of the country’s development.
COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE CONTENT OF THE TARAS SHEVCHENKO NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF KYIV’S LINGUISTIC EDUCATIONAL MUSEUM EXPOSITION WITH SIMILAR INSTITUTIONS IN THE WORLD
Authors: Bocharnikova A. М.
Published: March 2020

The article contains information on all general-purpose linguistic museums that are currently functioning in the world, functioned in the past, or are at the project stage. In cases where this is possible, the structure of museum’s exposition is examined. Criteria that have played a key role in the division of museums’ content into structural elements are defined. The accuracy of exposition authors’ compliance of their approaches has also been analyzed.

The first linguistic museum in the world that opened its doors to visitors was Taras Shevchenko university of Kyiv’s Linguistic Educational Museum founded in 1992 by the order of the university’s rector. During next sixteen years it was world’s only linguistic museum till the year 2008 when National Museum of Language in the US was opened. In 2013 a new linguistic museum named Mundolingua was established in Paris. After 2014 when the museum in USA was closed and till now it continues to be the only linguistic museum in the world except Linguistic Educational Museum in Ukraine that is functioning.

At present times there are several big projects of establishing a comprehensive linguistic museum in diﬀerent countries. Among them is Planet Word in Washington, Museum der Sprachen der Welt in Berlin, Museum of Language in London. The work upon these projects is in progress and hasn’t reached the stage of completeness.

There are also two websites available on the Internet that have the name of museum but does not contain any traces of the exposition content. These are the website of the above mentioned National Museum of Language and Taalmuseum in the Netherlands. Both of these websites are portals for announcements concerning exhibitions, lectures and meetings in diﬀerent places that are somehow referred to language topics.

In this article the structure of the museums content has also been analyzed. Linguistic Educational Museum in Kyiv was established for academic purposes therefore its content has the same structure as the Introductory Linguistics course. At the same time it reveals the principles of the museum exposition author’s Doctor of Science thesis named the Metatheory of Linguisics.
COUNTERACTION TO INVESTIGATION AND WAYS TO ITS OVERCOMING
Authors: Trofimovs Igors
Published: March 2020

The problem of counteraction to investigation has recently gained particular topicality. . This is due to the fact that the activities of organized criminality are gaining  and larger range,   an essential reason of which, in its turn, are the processes of  the personnel corruptibility of the power structures and law enforcement institutions.The basis of the people’s lifestyle of the adherent to the criminal environment is to put obstacles in the way of law enforcement institutions in general; and during their lifetime, because of specific mentality, criminals always and willingly put into practice various forms and methods of counteractions. As investigative practice shows, counteraction to investigation may go on during the lifetime of the counteraction performer; it may begin also in the preparation phase of a crime, or may begin or continue during investigation, trial, and even during the time of serving sentence.The purpose of this study is to clarify the essence of the counteraction concept to investigation.As a result of the study and based on the theoretical knowledge, the most important conclusion has been drawn, namely: the counteraction to investigation is an action or inaction executed on premeditated purpose to hinder or even to stop the full, objective and comprehensive clarification of the offense circumstances by the investigating authorities and courts. In the course of the study, the problems were also identified, and the means and methods of overcoming the counteraction to investigation were offered.The prevention of counteraction to investigations, identification of its motives, forecasting of counteraction forms and methods of its implementation both – at the initial period of the investigation and during the implementation of investigation activities are a part of the necessary provisions for successful neutralization of counteraction, for unmasking of counteraction performers’ activities. It is also a compulsory provision for objective, detailed and complete clarifications of all circumstances of offence, providing in this way a fair punishment for guilty persons.The application of countermeasures requires an understanding of the methods and techniques used by law enforcement authorities in investigation of criminal networks. Insufficient prevention and overcoming of counteractions to investigations is one of the reasons of qualitative and quantitative aggravation of the performance parameters of law enforcement authorities.

Currently, the issue of administrative responsibility seems to be very relevant and requiring additional scientific research, since the norms of administrative responsibility systematically undergo a number of changes. And this is right, because   the changes in the regulations of administrative responsibility should consist of an analysis of legal relations’ dynamics at the present stage due to the fact that the legislation on administrative responsibility as one of the types of legal responsibility requires a unified approach to develop a clear scientific concept and improve it.

Published: March 2020

The paper deals with the category of “values”, the right as a value, and fundamental values of law; including freedom, justice, and equality are analyzed.The relevance of the research is determined not only by the apparent lack of exploration of the problem but also by the fact that the value of right and legal values determine direction and meaning, as well as the content of the rules of law, which is their normative expression, and, ultimately, appearing as a kind of basis for the legal culture, the source of the legal consciousness’s formation and establishing a legal order, ensuring the efficiency of legal regulations due to the using the embodiment in reality of freedom, justice, equality.Legal norms themselves acquire the importance of values and become the subject of evaluation. Among values themselves, which act as an ideal justification of the rules of law, the rules of law themselves and assessments, on the one hand, there are not only close ties but also mutual transitions. Therefore, both their interrelated explanations and differentiation are necessary.In this regard, the role and importance of rights and of the abovestated legal values, including the historically-legal aspect, their historical conditionality are disclosed, the semantic content and the importance in the establishment of the legitimacy regime are analyzed, the points of view expressed in the  research literature on the nature of legal values, signs, hierarchy,  the role in social and normative regulation are considered, the difference between value and the object of value or good is emphasized.

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the interplay between international public and private law and national law, and to provide an assessment of the theory of public and private law and its interrelationship.Private international law is closely linked to public international law. However, if public international law is an autonomous system of law, then private international law is an integral part of national law, since it governs cross-border private law relations.The objectives of the study stem from its purpose, namely:to clarify the nature and understanding of international public and private law; to clarify the relationship between international public and private law and national (internal) law. The object of the research is the problems of the relation and interrelation of international public and private law.As a result of the study, several conclusions were drawn, which are as follows: 1) public international law is an independent legal system, but private international law is an integral part of national law; 2) there is a relationship between public international law and private international law; 3) general theoretical categories and concepts are partly incompatible with the nature of both international public and private international law; 4) the value, validity, and credibility of contemporary theoretical research in international law largely depends on the inclusion of relevant categories andThe following methods have been used in the research: analysis and synthesis, induction and deduction, abstracting, generalization, analogy, idealization, formalization, axiomatic method, systematic and historical research.

Purpose: We investigated the effects of Quercetin and Coenzyme Q10 antioxidant, on gentamicin-induced renal failure in rats. Materials and Methods: The rats were given gentamicin (100 mg/kg/day, i.m., once a day), gentamicin (100 mg/kg/day, i.m.once a day) + Quercetin (15 mg/kg i.p. once a day) and gentamicin (100 mg/kg/day, i.m.) + Coenzyme Q10 (8 mg/kg i.m. once a day). Results: In control the BUN value was 26.8 ± 0.8 (mg/100 mL); whereas, it was 117.3 ± 15.4 in gentamicin group. Renal histopathologic examination confirmed acute tubular necrosis in this group. In rats treated with gentamicin + Quercetin and gentamicin + Coenzyme Q10, a partial improvement in biochemical and histologic parameters was observed. BUN values were 117.3 ± 15.4, 44.0 ± 8.3, 47.8 ± 13.8 in gentamicin, gentamicin plus Quercetin and gentamicin plus Coenzyme Q10 treated groups, respectively. Creatinine values were 4.3 ± 0.6, 0.8 ± 0.1, 1.5 ± 0.4 in gentamicin, gentamicin plus Quercetin and gentamicin plus Coenzyme Q10 treated groups, respectively. Conclusion: These results suggest that the administration of Quercetin and Coenzyme Q10 may have a protective effect on gentamicin-induced nephrotoxicity in rats.

Authors: DAĞKIRAN Muhammed
Published: March 2020

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı boyun diseksiyonu sonrasında düşük yada yüksek akımlı şilöz fistül (ŞF) gelişen hastalarda başlangıç tedavisi olarak kullanılan ve somatostatin analoğu olan oktreotidin etkinliğinin araştırılmasıdır.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya 2010-2019 yılları arasında boyun diseksiyonu yapılan ve sonrasında şilöz fistül gelişen 21 hasta dahil edildi. Bütün hastaların konservatif tedavisine oktreotid başlangıç tedavisi olarak eklendi. Hastaların yaşı, cinsiyeti, boyun diseksiyonu için cerrahi endikasyonları, boyun diseksiyonu tipi, ŞF’ ün kaç gün sürdüğü ve kaç gün oktreotid aldığı, 24 saatte ki şilöz sıvı miktarı, toplam hastanede yatış süreleri ve tedaviye bağlı ortaya çıkan komplikasyonlar değerlendirildi.Bulgular: İki hastada sağ, 19 hastada ise sol tarafta ŞF izlendi. Hastaların %52.3 ünde (11/21) intraoperatif ŞF fark edildi. On üç hasta düşük akımlı, 8 hastada yüksek akımlı ŞF vardı. Düşük akımlılarda %100 (13/13), yüksek akımlılarda %62.5 (5/8), toplamda ise %85.71 (18/21) tedavi başarısı izlendi. Yüksek akımlı ŞF’ü olan 3 hastaya cerrahi tedavi gereksinimi oldu. Cerrahi tedaviye gerek duyulmadan oktreotid alan hastalarda ortalama fistül kapanma süresi 4.2 gün olarak bulundu. İstatiksel olarak oktreotid tedavisi ile kontrol sağlanan grup ile cerrahi gerektiren grup arasında sadece düşük akımlı veya yüksek akımlı ŞF olması arasında anlamlı fark bulundu.Sonuç: Çalışmamız göstermiştir ki oktreotidin hem düşük akımlı hem de yüksek akımlı ŞF kontrolünde başlangıç tedavisi olarak konservatif tedaviye dahil edilmesi başarılı sonuçlar sağlamaktadır.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between the treatment motivation, addiction characteristics, craving and temperament traits in male patients with alcohol addiction having inpatient treatment.Materials and Methods: Male patients diagnosed with alcohol addiction according to DSM-IV-TR having inpatient treatment at Ankara Numune Training and Research Hospital’s Alcohol and Substance Abuse Treatment and Training Center (AMATEM) were included in the study. The patients were evaluated by sociodemographic data form, Penn Alcohol Craving Scale (PACS), Addiction Profile Index (API), The Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale (SOCRATES), Temperament Evaluation of Memphis, Pisa, Paris and San Diego Autoquestionnaire (TEMPS-A).Results: 85 male patients were included in the study. The mean age of the participants was 46.36 ± 9.66. The mean of the years of using alcohol was 23.32 ± 10.33. A positive correlation was found between API total score and PACS total score according to the study. Conclusion: Increasing craving severity aligned with increasing addiction severity may suggest that patients with high addiction severity should be given more care in terms of craving. The relationship between having a dominant temperament and craving, motivation and severity of addiction could not be determined in our study.
