Authors: Costas González Xosé-Henrique
Published: November 2021

No territorio asturiano do Eo-Navia estase efectuando un proceso acelerado de dobre substitución lingüística e cultural. Á imposición histórica do español únese agora a imposición política de usos lingüísticos e culturais da Asturias central. Iso ten un forte impacto na toponimia desta zona, e os topónimos galegos galegos autóctonos están a ser deturpados. Coa nova lexislación, as autoridades lingüísticas e culturais galegas, así coma a Xunta de Galicia, poderían axudar á restauración das formas toponímicas auténticas e autóctonas.

An Analysis of Mitigating Devices of Request Used by Saudi EFL Learners
Authors: Al Khasawneh Fadi
Published: November 2021

This study aimed at exploring the linguistic mitigating devices of requests used by Saudi EFL learners. The participants of this study were 97 students enrolled in the English program at King Khalid University, Saudi Arabia. The data of this study were collected by Discourse Completion Test (DCT) questionnaire designed for the purpose of this study. The questionnaire contained five different situations of request and the factor of Social Distance (SD) was incorporated to investigate any differences of the learners’ request strategies attributed to this factor. The data were classified according to the Cross-Cultural Study of Speech Act Realization Patterns (CCSARP) by Blum-Kulka and Olshtain (1984). The findings of this study revealed that the participants preferred to use internal mitigating devices more frequently than external ones. They also were more direct when making requests and it seems that social distance does not play a significant role in the students’ modification strategies of requests.

Authors: Mozaheb Mohammad-Amin , Ghajarieh Amir , Tamizi Fatemeh
Published: November 2021

In this research, two Persian translations of Coelho’s ALCHEMIST were studied in the light of Julian House’s (2015) theoretical TQA model and Venuti's (1995) theory of domestication and foreignization.  The focus was on comparing differences between the original text and the translated texts, namely, between the English text of ALCHEMIST and its two Persian translations by Hejazi and Jafari, in terms of covert errors and overt errors. To this end, one hundred examples, in the forms of phrases or sentences were examined and compared with their equivalent translations. The inductive method and comparative strategy were employed as the methodology to examine the hypothesis of this research. The results revealed that two Persian translations of ALCHEMIST had a roughly close percentage of errors. Namely, Hejazi's translation comprised 66.35 percent covert and domesticated, and Jafari incorporated52.82 percent. Also, the overt errors in Hejazi’s translation comprised 14.72 percent overt and foreignized and Jafari incorporated 32.5 percent. One of the errors observed in both translations was incorrect translation. As a result, Hejazi's translation is reported of better quality than Jafari's translation.

“You sleep with the devil; you wake up in hell!”: On the new EU-Turkey Deal
Authors: Christofis Nikos
Published: November 2021

Right from the start in 2016, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and Amnesty International challenged the legitimacy of the so-called refugee deal between Turkey and the EU. Toward the end of 2020, the EU concluded another agreement with Turkey as part of the €6 billion in funding covered by the refugee deal, in spite of Turkey’s deteriorating human rights record. Against a backdrop of Turkey’s weaponizing of refugees against Europe and Europe’s treatment of the refugee issue as a local problem, the European border and coast guard organization Frontex has been practicing illegal pushbacks. It is clear that once you toy with the devil, you cannot escape hell.

Turkey’s dealing with the Syrian Kurds (Part II)
Authors: Gunter Michael
Published: November 2021

This Commentary survey’s Turkey's interaction with Syria's surprisingly influential Kurds and explores the Turkish-US confrontation over the US support of the Syrian Kurds against ISIS. It concludes that the Biden administration will likely continue to implement the limited, but effective role his predecessors Trump and Obama had carried out, but that the ultimate fate of Syria and its embattled Kurds remains unclear.
Minorities in Turkey II: Ideology and Discrimination
Authors: Oran Baskın
Published: November 2021

This article focuses on the ideological roots of the repressive and discriminatory mentality/philosophy that has shaped democracy and minority policies in Turkey. My aim is to analyze the consequences of this mentality, with an emphasis on hate speech and discrimination. To this end, I summarize the consequences of the issues and policies discussed in the previous article, and discuss their future implications for both the state and the people of Turkey. I conclude that it is necessary to refer to citizens not through the ethno-religious term Turk, and still less as Muslims, but through the thoroughly territorial term Türkiyeli (of Turkey), and to do all that is necessary to ensure such a transformation in mentality.
Authoritarianism from Above and Below: Exclusive Nationalism and the Turkish-Kurdish Conflict
Authors: Ercan Harun
Published: November 2021

The persistence of the Kurdish conflict in the Middle East has created deadly outcomes for Turkey’s democratization process and facilitated the emergence of an authoritarian coalition promoting exclusive nationalism from above. While consolidation of the authoritarian rule in Turkey occurred in parallel to the rise of exclusive nationalism and regional militarism, the electoral authoritarian regime is currently facing multiple challenges. As the economic recession deepens, a new wave of ethnonationalism targeting the Kurds and immigrants is in the making, but this time from below. The possibility of democratic change in the future seems to depend on to what extent main opposition parties will be able to distance themselves from exclusive nationalism and build a pro-democracy alliance including the People’s Democratic Party (HDP).
What Will Happen to the Kurds If the US Withdraws from Syria and Iraq?
Authors: Yılmaz Arzu
Published: November 2021

The future of the Kurds in Iraq and Syria after a US withdrawal has already begun to take shape. The containment of Kurdish political and military cross-border mobility has been achieved to some extent by paving the way for Turkey’s military operations; it is now contingent on the recomposition of a desired ‘favorable balance of power” to fill the power vacuum in the Middle East. With an aggressive Turkish stance in the region, however, neither this containment policy nor the efforts made toward the maintenance of the “favorable balance of power” can be successful.

Talking About End-of-Life Care: How Should Physicians Act
Authors: Nurunnabi Abu Sadat Mohammad , Ahmad Nezamuddin , Chakma Shuchana , Md Asaduzzaman - , Mohammad Arif
Published: November 2021

Physicians should be adept in communication and familiar with the various end-of-life issues and their implications. However, physicians in Bangladesh usually receive very little training or guidance on how to communicate with the dying patients and their families. Since death is a common phenomenon, for physicians in their day-to-day practice, it sometimes becomes difficult to engage in end-of-life discussions in a death-averse society. This review paper aims to discuss a pragmatic step-by-step approach to discussing end-of-life care in a Bangladeshi context maintaining local social and cultural views. Specifically outlined in each of these four steps, a physician should seek a common understanding with the patient and family. Moreover, if any disagreement arises, overt conflict can often be avoided by reviewing what was discussed earlier with the patient or family. We all know that providing a supportive care for a dying patient is challenging. However, when it is done well, it becomes a meaningful and gratifying experience for the physician. As we know, helping someone die in comfort and with dignity signifies a good death and one of the best gifts of life that theoretically leads him/her to rest in peace.

Kala-azar Burden in Bangladesh- An Overview
Authors: Sarkar Santana Rani , Ray Nitai Chandra , Kabir Md Rashedul
Published: November 2021

Kala-azar is one of the major public health problems in Bangladesh and the disease is endemic for many decades. In SEA Region, VL is reported from 109 contiguous districts bordering Bangladesh, India and Nepal. Approx. 147 million people at risk in these three countries with an estimated 50,000 new cases each year. Kala-azar or Leishmaniasis is a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the Leishmania genus. It is transmitted by the sand fly named Phlebotomus argentipes and affects largely the socially marginalized and the poorest communities. The parasite migrates to the internal organs such as liver, spleen and bone marrow and if left untreated, will almost always result in the death of the host. Signs and symptoms include fever, weight loss, fatigue, anemia, and substantial swelling of the spleen and occasionally liver. In Bangladesh, kala-azar cases were reported from 45 of 64 districts, >90% of cases were reported from just 10 districts. Mymensingh accounted for more than 50% of the total kala-azar cases reported in Bangladesh. Research in recent years has demonstrated the utility of non-invasive diagnostic modalities such as the direct agglutination test and rapid tests based on the immune response to the rK39 antigen. Primary kala-azar now can be easily recognized and effective treatment is available. Clinical trials in Bangladesh have reported encouraging results with amphotericin B (recommended as a third-line drug by the National Malaria Eradication Programme). Until a safe and effective vaccine is developed, a combination of sandfly control, detection and treatment of patients and prevention of drug resistance is the best approach for controlling kala-azar.

Introduction: Nosocomial infections have been described as an important issue among intubated patients which leads to significant morbidity and mortality. The pattern of microbiological colonization and antibiotic resistance are much valuable in this regard.
Objectives: The aim of present study was to determine the pattern of aerobic bacteria isolated from endotracheal tubes in adult patients and determination of their antimicrobial susceptibility patterns.
Materials and Methods: Specimens were collected from tracheal tubes of patients with endotracheal aspiration and microbiological investigations were done. The isolated bacteria were identified by using standard cultural and biochemical tests. Then antibiotic susceptibility testing was performed on the isolates by disc diffusion method according to clinical and laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) guideline.
Results: Among 104 participants 68 (65.4%) were female and 36 (34.6%) were male. Most of the patients were in the age group of 71-80 years (48.0%). From 104 positive growths, both Gram positive and Gram negative organisms were found. Maximum samples showed growth of gram negative organism. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing revealed that the most resistant Gram negative isolate was Klebsiella with highest resistance against Vancomycin (40.4%) and which showed highest sensitive against Cefotetan, Cefoxitin and Norfloxain (39.4%).
Conclusions: It may be concluded that this study indicates the emergence of antibiotic resistant infections in the studied hospital. So, there is a need to improve the effectiveness of integrated infection control programs to control and manage nosocomial infections caused by highly resistant organisms.

Published: November 2021

The severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) caused by the super-infectious, super-spreading, super-mutating novel coronavirus-2 (Covid-19) is responsible for the worldwide overwhelming panic and pandemic with a huge burden of suffering patients at a time. It has been causing alarming morbidity and unexpected mortality, shortening life span of many people that hadn’t happened since the second world war. It was first identified in Wuhan, China in the last months of 2019. The clinical scenario presents in the form of asymptomatic, mild, moderate and severe illnesses. More than 80% patients are either asymptomatic who transmit it to others and have a mild influenza-like illness clinically not different from common cold. The moderate and severe cases commonly need supervised home or institutional treatment. Many of the latter need intensive therapy that includes non-invasive and invasive ventilation along with other measures and medications. The treatment is principally conservative, HDU- and ICU-dependent. Surgery has no role as its primary treatment. But protection of surgical team and non-infected patients remains as a challenge to surgeons and hospital authorities. Many of the mutant variants now show resistance to antibodies generated by spike protein based and m-RNA based vaccines. The threat of infection still persists making surgeons overwhelmingly concerned while performing emergency, elective and cancer surgeries. This article describes some guidelines to be followed by the operating surgeons, hospital and regional health authorities to minimize the risks of spreading the disease and to protect the surgical team and other non-infected people from being infected.

O óxido de grafeno reduzido (rGO) é um nanomaterial formado por carbono, apresentado como um derivado do óxido de grafeno e, devido às suas propriedades, é utilizado em áreas como microeletrônica, mecânica e biomedicina. Apesar da grande quantidade de testes realizados com esse nanomaterial, ainda não há consenso sobre sua toxicidade, quando no meio ambiente. O meio aquático costuma ser o destino final desses compostos e, por isso, as algas verdes costumam ser utilizadas como bioindicador. Este estudo teve como objetivo determinar a ecotoxicidade e possíveis interações da nanopartícula de rGO com a célula de algas verdes de Raphidocelis subcapitata. As alterações estruturais nas algas, expostas a diferentes concentrações a rGO, foram analisadas através de microscopia eletrônica de transmissão (TEM) e espectroscopia Raman, a toxicidade foi avaliada por meio da medida de inibição da biomassa algal. Os resultados indicam que não houve efeito tóxico no organismo estudado, exceto na maior concentração (100 mg.L-1). A análise de TEM demonstrou uma interação das nanopartículas com a célula algal, pela observação da internalização das nanopartículas, bem como pela deposição de rGO na membrana celular. Apesar da ausência de toxicidade em baixas concentrações, os organismos mostraram sensibilidade à presença do rGO. Esses resultados contribuem com a literatura no esclarecimento do comportamento das nanopartículas à base de carbono no ambiente aquático e podem permitir um melhor cuidado com a produção e liberação dessas nanopartículas no meio ambiente.

O estudo objetivou avaliar a percepção da qualidade de vida de indivíduos portadores de DCNT durante o período de isolamento social, sendo assim, trata-se de um estudo observacional, transversal, com amostra de 17 indivíduos, onde os participantes realizaram o Questionário de Qualidade de Vida SF-36, assim como uma Anamnese Nutricional, para levantar dados acerca da população, e um Recordatório 24 Horas, para evidenciar o consumo dietético da amostra. O estudo obteve aprovação do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa. A partir da avaliação do questionário SF-36 foi possível observar que nenhum dos domínios apresentou média de escore superior, caracterizando uma qualidade de vida mediana à baixa, destacando principalmente os domínios Dor e Limitações por Aspectos Emocionais, evidenciando a fragilidade gerada pelo isolamento social e as adaptações que foram realizadas, levando a prejuízos em outros domínios como Vitalidade, Estado Geral de Saúde e Saúde Mental, dito isto, o isolamento social realizado em função da pandemia do Covid-19 se mostrou um fator principal na piora da qualidade de vida de indivíduos portadores de DCNT, população mais afetada, por se enquadrar como grupo de risco.

Introdução: A pandemia de COVID-19 mudou drasticamente a rotina de trabalho dos profissionais de saúde, acarretando sobrecarga de atendimento, esgotamento físico e alterações significativas na saúde mental. Objetivo: Investigar o estresse ocupacional entre profissionais de enfermagem durante a pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil. Métodos: Estudo transversal realizado através de um questionário online anônimo. A coleta de dados ocorreu por meio das mídias sociais Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram e e-mail. Nós analisamos as associações entre o desfecho de interesse e as variáveis independentes através do cálculo da razão de prevalência (RP) com intervalo de confiança (IC) de 95%. O teste de Cochran-Armitage foi utilizado para se averiguar o comportamento da RP conforme as diferentes categorias para as variáveis escolaridade, renda e nível de cuidado. O nível de significância adotado foi de 5%. Resultados: De 2986 profissionais da enfermagem incluídos no presente estudo, 2704 (90,6%; IC 95% 89,5 – 91,6) relataram estresse ocupacional durante a pandemia de COVID-19. Um aumento na prevalência de estresse ocupacional foi observado conforme o aumento no nível de escolaridade (p < 0.001), renda (p < 0.001) e nível de cuidado (p < 0.001). Profissionais com mais de 20 anos de experiência profissional também relataram maiores níveis de estresse ocupacional. Conclusão: Nossos achados revelam uma prevalência de estresse ocupacional de aproximadamente 90%, sendo maior entre enfermeiros com maior nível de escolaridade, renda e quanto mais complexo o nível de atenção em que atua.

O atual desenvolvimento e confiabilidade dos sistemas adesivos e das resinas compostas oferecem boas opções para tratamento e manejo das perdas de estruturas dentárias. Pacientes com desgastes mínimo, moderado ou severo podem ser tratados de forma minimamente invasiva com restaurações adesivas em resina composta. Assim, de acordo com os conhecimentos a partir da prática clínica e com base na literatura científica sobre o tema abordado, e considerando as diferentes possibilidades de condução do caso apresentado, propôs-se a realização da reabilitação da maxila e de mandíbula com o uso da Reabilitação Estética e Funcional com Resinas Compostas Prensadas (REFRCP) com resina composta de viscosidade convencional aquecida e resina composta flow. Procedimento realizado para o restabelecimento imediato da dimensão vertical de oclusão (DVO), diagnóstico funcional, e tratamento estético com excelente prognóstico. Além disto, este caso clínico apresenta e discute os aspectos gerais acerca da importância, indicação, aplicabilidade e condução clínica do mesmo. A REFRCP é um tratamento simplificado, seguro, reversível, conservador, de baixo custo em comparação a próteses de cerâmicas, que satisfaz as necessidades clínicas rapidamente com alta previsibilidade, reprodutibilidade, longevidade e tem ampla aplicação dentro dos diferentes tratamentos de reabilitação oral, entretanto, trata-se de uma técnica "operador-sensível" que requer certa habilidade e treino por parte do cirurgião dentista, um correto e minucioso enceramento diagnóstico e materiais de impressão com alta reprodução de detalhes e estabilidade dimensional.

Published: November 2021

A disseminação do COVID-19 em 2020 foi a ameaça à saúde mais séria do mundo desde a chamada Gripe Espanhola em 1918. Com quase todos os países afetados no mundo, 100 milhões de casos confirmados, mais de 2 milhões de mortes e uma contração significativa no mundo produto interno bruto, a pandemia trouxe enormes custos humanos e econômicos. Sendo assim, o objetivo deste artigo é relatar as consequências musculoesqueléticas pós COVID-19, através de revisão de literatura. Os programas de reabilitação devem ser adaptados à gravidade da doença, faixa etária, níveis de condicionamento físico anteriores e comorbidades pré-existentes.  Para a reabilitação adequada de pacientes, necessitarão de novos conhecimentos e habilidades sobre o COVID-19. Logo, espera-se que pacientes acometidos por COVID- 19 sofram consequências musculoesqueléticas em decorrência do processo inflamatório e perca de massa óssea e muscular ocasionada pela imobilidade, gerando incapacidades motoras ainda não quantificáveis. É importante entender as implicações clínicas causadas pelo COVID-19, a fim de se ter melhores estratégias de reabilitação para esses pacientes. O objetivo deste estudo foi realizar uma análise reflexiva do impacto do COVID-19 no sistema imunológico, neuromuscular e musculoesquelético e seu processo de reabilitação.

A glutamina é o aminoácido livre abundante no plasma e no tecido muscular. nutricionalmente é classificada como um aminoácido não essencial, uma vez que pode ser sintetizada pelo organismo a partir de outros aminoácidos. A glutamina está envolvida em diferentes funções, tais como a proliferação e desenvolvimento de células. Ambas visam o aumento do tempo de meia-vida da incretina GLP-1 em circulação (composto importante para a manutenção da homeostase da glicose). A administração destes fármacos melhora o controle glicémico através do aumento de produção e secreção de insulina em doentes com diabetes tipo 2. Estudos anteriores mostraram que a glutamina, é um aminoácido com efeitos interessantes prevenindo a inflamação e a apoptose de células e exercendo um efeito benéfico. Métodos e análise usando a metodologia de scoping reviem de Arksey e O’Malley como um guia, a revisão de escopo de revisões publicadas começa pesquisando várias bases de dados: Estratégia de pesquisa e fonte de informação.
