Prácticas mágico-religiosas en enfermedades crónicas en un hospital de tercer nivel en 2019 (México)
Authors: Ayala-Galván Citlali , Olvera-Muñoz Andrea , González-Zamora José Francisco , Esparza-Aguilar Marcelino
Published: March 2023

Dentro de la atención para la salud, se interseca el sistema religioso. Las prácticas religiosas buscan una intervención de actores divinos por medio de prácticas, rezos, ritos y rituales. A su vez, las prácticas mágicas se describen como preceptos simbólicos cotidianos a los que se les atribuye poder para conseguir multas técnicas y utilitarios sin intervención de un rango o ser sagrado. Se buscó caracterizar el tipo ideal de las prácticas mágico-religiosas realizadas por madres de pacientes con enfermedades crónicas, atendidos en un hospital de tercer nivel de atención. Se realizaron entrevistas a profundidad en 12 madres con hijos con diversas enfermedades crónicas.En todas ellas, se destaca el uso de las prácticas mágico-religiosas como auto-cuidado emocional al afrontar la soledad y las crisis de su entorno, con el fin de sentir tranquilidad y paz en busca de este bienestar de ellas y de sus hijos. Por el uso extendido de las prácticas mágico-religiosas es necesario comprender cómo intersecan el proceso de salud-enfermedad, en donde el personal para la salud busque equilibrar la tensión entre el componente biológico de la enfermedad y el aspecto religioso-espiritual, en la búsqueda de bienestar social y espiritual del vínculo madre-hijo.
Organizational and individual contingency factors and management practices
Authors: Siqueira Diego Dantas , Lucena Wenner Glaucio Lopes
Published: March 2023

It has been argued that the decision-making process has never been more important (or complex) as it has increased the amount of unstructured information, increasingly hostile competition and frequent innovations. In this context, the Global Management Accounting Principles (GMAP) were proposed with the objective of assisting managers of different organizations to evaluate and improve their Management Accounting System (MAS), improving the information provided and, consequently, decision making. In this way, the aim of this study consisted of analyzing the associations between organizational and individual Contingency factors and management practices from the perspective of the GMAP of the industries in Paraíba. To this end, managers’ data from 86 industries were acquired through the application of an electronic questionnaire during the year 2020. The data analysis was performed using Spearman's correlation. Regarding organizational contingencies, positive and significant associations were found between strategy and practices related to GMAP. However, the size didn’t show significant association with the adoption of such practices. Regarding individual contingencies, negative and significant associations were found between the manager’s time in the position and one of the management practices. Additionally, the manager’s education showed positive and significant association with some practices related to GMAP. In conclusion, no significant associations between manager’s age and management practices were found. This study contributes to the literature by analyzing the antecedents of contemporary management practices from a new perspective (the GMAP). Little is known about the factors that contribute to an effective management accounting function in light of the guidelines provided by the GMAP structure. Likewise, these results may be of interest to professionals as they provide important reflections on the contribution of GMAP to management, as well as they point to the need for such practices to be implemented considering the specific context of each organization.
Agro-Town Regions of Peripheral Europe
Authors: Hofer Tamás
Published: March 2023

The concept of agro-town was elaborated by the geographers to describe a settlement that although it is chiefly populated by farmers and agricultural labourers has the size of a town and often includes urban institutions, urban social strata and functions. Such settlements are surrounded by vast areas of extensively used land which may extend to several tens of thousands of square kilometres.
Agro-towns constitute settlement networks in themselves, without or
with very few villages. In Europe agro-town regions are found in Andalusia,
Southern Italy, Sicily and on the Great Hungarian Plain. In this paper the author
makes a detailed study of the Hungarian agro-towns, describing their physical
and social structure as well as their life-style and culture, and tracing their development and transformations back to the late Middle Ages. In the concluding
chapter the Hungarian agro-towns are compared with their Mediterranean parallels.
In spite of apparent differences (e.g. a general 'urbanity' and 'urban ethos'
in the Mediterranean, and 'ruralness' in the Hungarian Plain) the paper points
out basic similarities in the historic development and social significance of the
agro-towns. The similar traits are interpreted as adaptations to more or less analogous situations in the periphery of the European continental division of labor.
Famille et parenté
Authors: Segalen Martine
Published: March 2023

Pourquoi les chercheurs français qui consacrent leurs travaux à la famille et à la
parenté ne s'intéressent-ils pas davantage au concept du cycle de la vie familiale?
On peut attribuer cette situation à une séparation regrettable entre sociologie et
anthropologie. Le papier s'efforce de retracer l'hlstoire récente du concept qui fut
d'abord formulé par des anthropologues anglais (Meyer Fortes, Jack Goody), puis
repris par des sociologues américains (Reuben Hill, Evelyn Duvall, Paul Glick,
Roy Rogers etc.), et enfin par des historiens anglais et américains. En France,
aujourd'hui, ce sont essentiellement les sociologues qui font usage de ce concept,
en s'intéressant d'ailleurs davantage aux phases qu'au déroulement des séquences.
Le papier examine ensuite les diverses directions de recherches; les
ethnologues s'intéressent à dévolution des biens dans son articulation avec les
modes de résidence et les systèmes matrimoniaux, aux thèmes de l'hérédité
sociale des familles (autour des phénomènes de dénomination), aux formes et à
l'importance de la mémoire familiale, enfin aux usages de la parenté. Les sociologues
pour leur part sont davantage penchés sur les causes et les conséquences
des changements structurels du couple et de ses signes démographigues. On
observe par ailleurs un intérêt pour les études sur plusieurs générations.
The Noble and the Ignoble Bandit
Authors: Egmond Florike
Published: March 2023

Tracing developments in the literary representations of four famous West-European
bandits - Cartouche, Bakelandt, Jan de Lichte and Schinderhannes - this
paper shows how most of the tales about these bandits revolve around two
stereotypical images: the Noble and the Ignoble Bandit. Both images can be
regarded as inversions of the equally stereotypical self-image of established
West-European citizens. Though many of the bandit-tales at first sight belong to
'popular' culture, their readership in fact could be designated as a 'mass-audience'
from a broad social spectrum. The literary 'careers' of these four robbers
show that bandits only acquired a positive image if members of the middle strata
in their societies could in some way identify with their activities. Finally, the
prominence of both the negative representation of bandits (as a dangerous counter-
society) and the positive version (as an idealized community) from the 16th
until the late 19th century, is related to processes of state formation and 'internal
pacification' in Western Europe.
Bad Boys and Little Old Ladies
Authors: Buckley Anthony D.
Published: March 2023

Stories told about bad boys and little old ladies in the two Northern Irish villages
of Long Stone and Killycannon typify the unacceptable extremes of rebelliousness
and moral authority. These images, however, are ambiguous, for "old ladies"
also exemplify a moral ideal of quiet respectability, while the bad behavior identified
with "the boys" is sometimes deemed to be a necessary evil.
These flexible but contrasting images are useful partly because they encapsulate a wide
range of social statuses including gender, social class and ethnicity. They are also
available for use as a "shifty" rhetoric of approbation and condemnation in a wide
variety of social situations.
Enseignement en français et en langues locales à l’école primaire en Afrique de l’Ouest : représentations, obstacles et leviers du côté des enseignants
Authors: JEANNIN Magali
Published: March 2023

Cette contribution analyse les places respectives du français dit standard, des variations locales du français et des langues locales, en contextes d’enseignement du et en français à l’école primaire, au Ghana (écoles bilingues anglais-français) et en Côte d’Ivoire (Enseignement Français à l’Etranger). Dans ces contextes plurilingues, les impensés monolingues structurent largement les représentations sur les langues en général et sur le français en particulier. Les langues des enseignants et des élèves se trouvent minorées symboliquement, socialement et scolairement, au profit d’un français hexagonal sur-normé dont l’appropriation reste problématique. Cette forme de glottophobie est souvent intégrée par les enseignants eux-mêmes et nuit à la réussite scolaire des élèves. Dans quelle mesure est-il possible de déconstruire certaines représentations linguistiques et dans quels buts ? Pour enseigner quel(s) français ? Cette contribution présente également des exemples de dispositifs co-construits en formation avec des enseignants des contextes mobilisés, visant à la conscientisation et au dépassement des discriminations linguistiques, à la compréhension des enjeux du français langue d’enseignement, et à la prise en compte des langues endogènes de tous les acteurs éducatifs, élèves compris.
Etranges français d’ici : les allophones sont-ils des francophones comme les autres ?
Authors: ZEITER Anne-Christel
Published: March 2023

Le présent article cherchera à expliciter pourquoi l’idée mérite d’être soutenue selon laquelle certains locuteurs allophones vivant en français et en francophonie depuis de nombreuses années sont des locuteurs francophones à part entière, malgré leurs particularités. Afin d’explorer au mieux cette hypothèse, j’analyserai deux entretiens semi-dirigés menés avec Eugeniusz et André en été 2022 pour identifier leur style de parole respectif en termes de marques d’endogénéité et d’altérité, mais aussi de compétences communicationnelles globales. Je lierai alors ces éléments, dans une perspective émique et compréhensive, avec la subjectivité de chacun des deux frères telle qu’elle s’exprime dans leur discours sur leur vie et leurs pratiques en français pour souligner la cohérence entre la texture de leur répertoire francophone et les processus subjectifs et sociaux qui structurent leur pratiques langagières. Montrer que ces locuteurs sont identifiables à la fois comme rattachés à une certaine région francophone et comme issus d’origines étrangères me permettra de questionner le pouvoir donné (ou retiré) par la langue, si l’on souhaite approfondir la réflexion sur ce que signifie, pour des personnes immigrées de longue date, être francophones.
"Le charisme de ça" ; "C’est la magie seulement"
Authors: MULO FARENKIA Bernard
Published: March 2023

Les pratiques du français en contexte camerounais se caractérisent par des structures reflétant l’environnement sociolinguistique et socioculturel et mettant en scène la créativité des locuteurs. Cette créativité se manifeste au niveau socio-pragmatique, entre autres, dans la réalisation des actes de langage (menace, compliment, reproche, salutation, injure, désaccord), les stratégies d’adresse et marqueurs discursifs. La présente étude propose une analyse de la créativité phraséologique à fonction pragmatique, en scrutant tout particulièrement quelques unités phraséologiques exprimant le compliment. L’analyse s’inscrit dans le cadre de l’étude des phraséologismes pragmatiques, des actes de langage stéréotypés et du français langue pluricentrique. À partir d’un corpus de données orales et médiées, l’étude examine des créations phraséologiques camerounaises à valeur appréciative et montre comment celles-ci participent à l’originalité du discours laudatif en français au Cameroun.
Variation régionale et norme endogène dans la littérature africaine francophone
Authors: REUTNER Ursula
Published: March 2023

Le langage littéraire présente un excellent potentiel pour ennoblir des formes autrefois stigmatisées. La pleine exploitation de ce potentiel dépend de plusieurs facteurs : de la nature des traits choisis, de leur mode d’utilisation et de leur fréquence. Le présent article se penche sur la question de savoir dans quelle mesure la littérature africaine francophone en profite. Il met en évidence une nette différence entre le traitement des caractéristiques phonétiques et morphologiques d’une part, et lexicales de l’autre. Alors que les premières sont en grande majorité utilisées pour ridiculiser des personnages simples, ce qui est parfois encore mis en relief par l’ajout de commentaires explicites, les particularités lexicales sont employées suivant un programme plus varié, qui va d’une utilisation tout-à-fait naturelle à un marquage explicatif qui s’appuie sur des remarques métalinguistiques dans le texte, en note ou dans un glossaire, en passant par un marquage typographique (italiques, caractères gras ou guillemets). Ce type de traitement s’avère nettement plus positif que les commentaires plutôt stigmatisants concernant la phonétique et la morphosyntaxe locales. Le lexique local profitent donc d’un support littéraire plus fort, comparé à la prononciation et la grammaire. Ce support reste cependant faible, vu la basse fréquence totale du lexique spécifique dans les textes étudiés.
Meet Bob and Offset Your Flight: Optimising Explainer Videos to Promote Voluntary Carbon Offsetting
Authors: Schorn Anna , Wirth Werner
Published: March 2023

In Germany, over 60% of people use YouTube as a search engine and watch explainer videos or tutorials at least occasionally. Two studies were conducted to determine how explainer videos can be optimised to promote sustainable minority behaviour such as voluntary carbon offsetting. A typical way to present information in explainer videos is by using exemplars (the “meet Bob” trope), which can change recipients’ judgements of the frequency of events. When an exemplar is included, the frequency of occurrence can be estimated to be higher, even if the actual base-rate information is given. Therefore, study one (N = 482) tested whether an exemplar could enhance the positive effects of a dynamic descriptive social norm appeal (DSNA), prevent the backfire effects of a static minority DSNA, and examine whether there were any differences depending on the narrative perspective. In study one, we conducted a 2 (narrative perspective: first vs. third person) × 2 (DSNA: static vs. dynamic) × 2 (travel destination: Europe vs. overseas; control factor) between-subjects experiment using six self-produced explainer videos about voluntary carbon offsetting (N = 270). The results show that the narrative perspective, different DSNAs, and the destination had no effect on persuasive outcomes. Study two (N = 270) focused on social norm appeals and supplemented minority DSNAs (DSNA: static vs. dynamic vs. absent) with an injunctive social norm appeal (ISNA: present vs. absent). The results show that a majority injunctive social norm appeal can improve attitudes towards voluntary carbon offsetting and perceived effectiveness.
Women Scientists on TikTok: New Opportunities to Become Visible and Challenge Gender Stereotypes
Authors: Huber Brigitte , Baena Luis Quesada
Published: March 2023

Today, women scientists are still underrepresented in media coverage and confronted with gender stereotypes. However, social media might have the potential to challenge current gender stereotypes of scientists, foster diversity in science communication, and open new ways of becoming visible. We explore this potential by analyzing TikTok accounts of female scholars (n = 50 accounts). Results from content analysis (n = 150 videos) indicate that female scientists from a wide range of different disciplines and at different career stages are visible on TikTok. Building on previous research, we show that female scholars use TikTok mainly to explain scientific facts and concepts and to discuss what being a (female) scholar is like. Moreover, female scholars talk about private life events, give expert advice, and show science in the making. Finally, some of the videos analyzed address gender stereotypes by, for example, challenging assumptions on how a female professor should dress. Implications for science communication in the digital age are discussed.

Published: March 2023

A key success factor of modern companies is the timely restructuring of business processes, taking into account the penetration of digital technologies in all spheres of society. Nowadays, the challenges have accelerated the implementation of modern business concepts. Continual improvements become the vital step in competitive market. Digitalization has become an unavoidable reality for companies. The article investigates the meaning of the terms "digitization", "digitalization" and "digital transformation". It is proved that digitalization provides companies with competitive advantages in all areas of activity, which is reflected in the optimization of production processes, costs minimization, decreasing errors, increasing speed of delivery, boosting the quality of finished products (services), improving the control of the company’s data and processes, increasing the effectiveness of communication. Examples of companies that use digital technologies and the results of their implementation in business processes are given. The results of survey confirm the positive effects of digitalization of business. Three main types of artificial intelligence are distinguished: artificial narrow intelligence, general artificial intelligence, artificial superintelligence and the differences of each are outlined. The benefits and the main threats of artificial intelligence are revealed. The global artificial intelligence industry is expected to grow from $59.7 billion in 2021 to $422.4 billion by 2028, according to Zion Market Research. The 2020 McKinsey Global Survey on Artificial Intelligence (AI) confirms that 50% of companies have reported using AI in at least one business function. The experience of the world’s largest companies in the implementation of various artificial intelligence tools in operational activities is presented. It is emphasized that artificial intelligence contributes to business development and global economic activity. The growth of key performance indicators after the implementation of artificial intelligence in the business processes of companies is presented.
CORPORATE SECRETARY AND CORPORATE SECURITY IN WAR
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Baiura D.O.
Published: March 2023

he article defines the special role of Corporate Secretary’s institute in increasing the effectiveness of communication between key participants in order to ensure corporate security for joint-stock companies. On the basis of a systemic approach and analysis of corporate practice, important and necessary changes in the institutional support for the functioning of the Corporate Secretary institute and the need for deepening digitalization of modern corporate communication regarding all types of economic activity of companies in conditions of aggression are emphasized. The study has confirmed that it is necessary to develop new tools for establishing corporate communication with key stakeholders of joint-stock companies – shareholders, management bodies, personnel, partners, state institutions and other stakeholders during the period of aggression. The formation of corporate security includes communication with all its constituents particularly in the field of economic, social, environmental, personnel and technical and technological security. In addition, during the period of digitalization of business processes, special attention should be paid to cyber security. The analysis of the actual specific problems of further transformation of the corporate governance system in Ukraine demonstrates the need for further scientific research on the development of the corporate secretary institute in the system of corporate business management bodies. The results of the study suggest that in the near future the role of the corporate secretary in ensuring the formation of effective corporate security at corporate-type enterprises will steadily increase. In our opinion, corporate security covers various types of security, including economic, social, and environmental.
Representation of the concept of EUROPE in Ukrainian language of the XVI–XVII centuries
Authors:   Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine, Bohomolets-Barash Oleksandr
Published: March 2023

Background. The topics related to Europe are attracting increasing interest due to the ongoing process of Ukraine integration in the European Union. It is generally accepted that Ukraine is a part of Europe – not only geographically, but also culturally. Since Ukraine gained its independence, Europe as a concept has received much attention. The past decade has seen a renewed importance of the concept ‘Europe’. Firstly, Euro-2012 was held in Ukraine. The next year (2013) began Euromaidan, which was followed by the Revolution of Dignity (2014). Ukrainians fought for their European choice. Started in 2014, Russian aggression grew into the full-skale invasion in Ukraine. In 2022, Ukrainians fought for Europe itself. Aims and approach. The first studies of the concept ‘Europe’ considered it a phenomenon of modern Ukrainian history and language. Therefore, researchers have mainly focused on a synchronic approach to the topic. Few scientists have addressed the issue of evolution of the concept of Europe. This paper outlines a diachronic approach to the studies of analyzed concept. Our knowledge of Europe in its relation to Ukraine is largely based on very limited linguistic data. The aim of the research was thus to define the origins of the concept of Europe and evaluate its history through the Ukrainian language history. This study examines specific proper names, used to describe Europe by the Ukrainian authors or translators in Ukrainian language during the XVI–XVII centuries. Such words include names of European countries or cities and their inhabitants. These names were found in different sources, mainly historical or religious documents. Methodology. A qualitative approach was selected in order to obtain in-depth information about Europe from the works of Ukrainian authors and translators into Ukrainian language during the XVI–XVII centuries. Our technique was based on linguistic data analysis and interpretation. Through the use of cognitive analysis we were able to build the nominative and semantic spaces of the concept ‘Europe’. Findings & results. A variety of European toponyms and demonyms in Ukrainian language of XVI–XVII centuries were found and examined. These words represent the concept of Europe and form its nominative and semantic spaces. The first mention of Europe dates back to 1591. At the same time, various names of European countries and cities were frequently used, due to constant trade relations between Ukrainian and European merchants. Another source of knowledge about Europe was foreign literature, known to those educated Ukrainian who learned different European languages and, therefore, translated such works into Ukrainian. Pilgrims to holy places, like Roma, also broadened Ukrainians’ knowledge about Europe. Taken together, these findings highlight a significant role for the concept of ‘Europe’ in Ukrainian language.

The aim of this study is to investigate the mechanical properties of coatings based on ED-20 epoxy resin, manufactured with polyethylenepolyamine or polyamidepolyamine used as hardeners. Instrumented indentation with a Berkovich triangular pyramid is used to determine the mechanical properties. Indentation hardness, reduced elastic modulus, and creep at a given holding time are used as the characteristic parameters. The results testify that the mechanical properties of the epoxy coatings made with different hardeners differ significantly from each other and demonstrate different behaviors.
Asymmetric impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on foreign exchange markets: Evidence from an extreme quantile approach
Authors: Thai Hung Ngo , Xuan Vinh Vo
Published: March 2023

This study analyzes asymmetric transmission from the COVID-19 pandemic to major foreign exchange markets from 2 January 2020 to 2 June 2022. This paper contributes to the literature by investigating how the impact of COVID-19 on currency markets co-moves across market conditions and investment horizons. The article uses the recently developed cross-quantilogram framework to achieve this, which quantifies the cross-quantile dependency across time series without any moment condition requirement. The findings demonstrate that changes in the total daily global confirmed cases of COVID-19 can forecast changes in the currency markets under all market circumstances. These findings have significant implications for global investors and policymakers.

Se utilizó el cuestionario de autoevaluación ACADI como instrumento de recogida de información, concretamente 36 ítems de los 101 del ámbito A (contexto escolar). Para el análisis de datos se utilizó la versión 26 del programa estadístico SPSS. La muestra estuvo formada por 59 docentes de centros de atención educativa preferente de la XXXXX. Los datos mostraron una buena percepción docente hacia los valores inclusivos, sobre todo aquellos relacionados con el Proyecto Educativo de Centro y el Plan de Trabajo Individualizado. Como conclusión, se destacó la necesidad de formación del profesorado para la atención del alumnado con necesidades específicas de aprendizaje.
Análisis del Prácticum de Educación Infantil y Primaria en las universidades españolas
Authors: Verger-Gelabert Sebastià , Riera-Negre Laia , Rosselló-Ramón Maria Rosa , Mut-Amengual Bartomeu
Published: March 2023

El principal objetivo de este estudio es analizar la implementación del Prácticum en los planes de estudio de los grados de Educación Infantil y Educación Primaria en las universidades españolas, tanto públicas como privadas.
Para llevar a cabo este estudio se ha dividido el trabajo de campo en dos partes claramente diferenciadas. Una primera parte, de carácter cuantitativo, en la que se ha abordado el análisis de contenido de un total de 123 guías docentes de los grados mencionadas, correspondientes a 63 universidades que ofrecen estos estudios sobre un total de 82 universidades que componen el panorama universitario español. Una segunda parte, de carácter cualitativo, en la que, a través de la técnica del grupo de discusión, se han analizado y contrastado los datos extraídos del primer análisis, relacionando la primera parte de la investigación con la segunda.
El estudio identifica una serie de características del Prácticum que son comunes a totas las universidades españolas: gran similitud en las guías docentes, su ubicación a partir de tercer curso, la escasa participación del estudiante en su evaluación y su desvinculación con el TFG. Tales características dibujan una radiografía que denota una clara separación entre el mundo académico y los centros escolares.
Selective antagonists of calcium-permeable GluA1 AMPA-receptors as potential antiaddictive agents
Authors: Potapkin Aleksandr M. , Gmiro Valerii E. , Shabanov Petr D.
Published: March 2023

An increase in synaptic dopamine levels, particularly in the nucleus accumbens sheath, is a critical initial response for encoding a drugs positive effect and the development of associative learning, which is crucial for finding drugs in response to their rewarding effects.
This study aims to review current data describing the role of AMPA glutamate receptors in the pathological drug search that occurs during the transition from drug use to drug abuse.
Publications reviewed and analyzed the journal publications in international databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, RSCI) on the mechanisms of interaction between dopamine and AMPA glutamate receptors in drug addiction pathogenesis are reviewed and analyzed.
After repeated exposure to psychostimulant drugs, the dopamine response to narcogen administration becomes sensitized, which is responsible for drugs of abuse over other natural reinforcers. The nucleus accumbens contains convergent inputs of dopamine and glutamate, which modulate the response to psychostimulant drugs. Simultaneously, a constant increase in AMPA-receptors lacking the GluA2 subunit was observed, which leads to an increase in conductivity and initiates a cascade of calcium-dependent signaling. With the development of compulsive drug seeking, the expression of AMPA-receptors in the nucleus accumbens increases.
Based on this hypothesis, it is reasonable to propose drugs for the treatment of drug dependence that counteract the neuroplastic changes in AMPA-receptors caused by repeated drug exposure and leading to addiction. IEM-1460 and IEM-2131, which are two GluA1 AMPA blockers, have been proposed as potential therapeutic agents against addiction and other CNS diseases.
Helicobacter pylori colonization density may have an important role in the development of Celiac disease
Authors: KIYAK Mevlüt , DÜZENLİ Tolga
Published: March 2023

Background and Aims: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between celiac disease and Helicobacter pylori infection and to compare the severity of celiac disease and Helicobacter pylori infection in adults according to the modified Marsh score.

Materials and Methods: This study included 148 patients with celiac disease and 240 control patients without celiac disease who underwent endoscopy for various reasons in a tertiary hospital. Age, gender, endoscopy indications, descriptive characteristics, complaints, serological, endoscopic and histopathological findings of the patients were recorded and analyzed. Results: Helicobacter pylori colonization in the celiac disease patients was 43.9% and in control group was 57.5% (p = 0.009). Helicobacter pylori positivity rate was significantly lower in Marsh 2, 3A, 3B, 3C groups ( p = 0.04). Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant but weak negative relationship between the severity of Helicobacter pylori and celiac disease (r = -.109, p = 0.031). When Marsh score was increasing, Helicobacter pylori grade decreased. Conclusion: The current study indicated that the incidence of Helicobacter pylori infection was lower in adults with celiac disease compared to control patients, and Helicobacter pylori colonization density was associated with milder duodenal lesions in celiac patients. Helicobacter pylori colonization may have a protective role in the development of celiac disease.
Postmortem Adli Tıbbi İncelemelerde Şahit Kan Numunesinin Önemi: Metanol İntoksikasyonu
Authors: Ata Öztürk Hatice Kübra , Güngör Ahmet Yahya , Kurtuluş Dereli Ayşe
Published: March 2023

The histopathological and toxicological analyzes of biological samples taken during autopsy are important in determining the cause of death in the suspicious deaths. However, no toxic substance can be detected in the analyzes performed in the postmortem period, especially in the treated cases. In this case, the stored split specimen at the first admission to the hospital can be examined. In this study, a 55-year-old male case who was found unconscious on the roadside and died during his treatment in the intensive care unit was presented. He had a history of drinking cologne. Although no toxic substance was found in postmortem samples, lethal dose of methanol and formic acid were detected in the analysis of the split blood specimen taken at the emergency unit admission. With this case, it is aimed to emphasize the importance of taking the split biological specimen in the first admission of forensic cases.
Post-Mortem Changes in Acetylcholinesterase, Na+/K+ ATPase, Phosphofructokinase, Glutathione Peroxidase, Catalase, and Superoxide Dismutase Activities in Rats Exposed to Toluene
Authors: Tuna Gonca , Dere Egemen , Mohammed Abdelazim
Published: March 2023

Objective: Exposure to high doses of toluene, which is widely used in industry, not only causes various symptoms, but can also result in death. The aim of this study is to investigate post-mortem changes in Acetylcholinesterase, Na+/K+-ATPase, Phosphofructokinase and antioxidant enzymes (Glutathione Peroxidase, Catalase, and Superoxide Dismutase) in rats exposed to toluene and to reveal possible post-mortem clues.
Methods: Rats were injected with a lethal dose of toluene. Blood, brain and liver tissue were excised at 0, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after death.
Results: The enzyme activities of toluene groups have been decreased in comparison with the control group for both AChE and PFK enzymes, on the other hand, there was an increase in the Na+/K+-ATPase activity in the brain tissues. In antioxidant enzymes, increases in activity of all 3 enzymes were generally observed when compared to the control group. Plasma GSH-Px activity was observed to decrease between 0-12 hours post-mortem and to increase at 24 and 48 hours post-mortem. GSH-Px activities in the liver showed significant increases at 0, 12 and 48 hours. CAT activities in liver distinctly increased. Significant differences in SOD levels were not detected when compared with the control. Oxidative damage occurring in cells under the effect of toluene may have disrupted the membrane structure, the three-dimensional structure of proteins and lipids, and the cell repair mechanisms.
Conclusion: It was determined that oxidative damage due to toluene may cause changes in some enzyme activities in the post mortem period, which may prove oxidative damage.

Objective: In this study, it was aimed to compare “incapacity to work rate scale” and “disability rate scale” in isolated eye traumas and to draw attention to differences between the scales.
Methods: In our study, 605 files for which incapacity to work or disability rate was calculated only due to “eye defects” were examined in 2016, 2017 and 2018. Five hundred and ninety-two cases were analyzed retrospectively. The cases were evaluated in terms of parameters such as year of event, gender, age range, type of event, court types, and discretion. SPSS 21.0 statistical program was used to evaluate the data.
Results: It is seen that average of “incapacity to work rate” is 29.24, “disability rate” is 21.56, “incapacity to work rate” is higher than “disability rate” in 455 cases (76.9%) and the “disability rate” is higher than “incapacity to work rate” in 38 cases (6.4%). In 99 cases (16.7%), both rates were not calculated. It was determined that there was a significant difference between rates in terms of both genders. In calculation of “incapacity to work rate”, it was determined that 8.28% of cases did not have exact equivalent of ratio and it was used with discretion, and this situation was all in diplopia cases.
Conclusion: It was revealed that disability rate scale was more detailed and sensitive than “incapacity to work rate scale”, especially in diplopia, and that there was a difference between both scales in eye diseases in terms of methods and variables.

Acil durumlar, eğitim hakkı gibi bireyin birçok hakkını olumsuz etkileyen koşullardır. Acil durumlarda birey, olumsuz koşulları atlatabilmek için iletişim becerilerine ihtiyaç duyar. Türkçe iletişim becerilerinin geliştiği ana derstir. Acil durumlar normal zamanlardan farklı olduğu için acil durumlarda işlenen Türkçe dersi de normal zamanlarda yapılan dersten farklı olmalıdır. Bu nedenle acil durumlarda ortaokul Türkçe dersinin nasıl verilmesi gerektiği önemlidir. Bu araştırmanın amacı, acil durumlarda ortaokul Türkçe dersinin nasıl verilmesi gerektiğini Türkçe öğretmenlerinin görüşleri doğrultusunda incelemektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda, araştırma verileri nitel veri toplama araçlarından yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılarak Google Formlar üzerinden 2021-2022 eğitim-öğretim yılında Adıyaman ilinde görev yapan 120 Türkçe öğretmeninden gönüllülük esasına göre istenmiştir. Elde edilen veriler nitel yöntemler arasında yer alan içerik analizi tekniği kullanılarak çözümlenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre katılımcıların Türkçe dersinde dil bilgisi konularını vermekte zorlandıkları ve öğrenme ortamında yeterli katılım sayısına ulaşamadıkları vb. sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır.

Richard Bean’in In the Club Adlı Oyununda Türk İmgesi
Authors: BİÇER Ahmet Gökhan
Published: March 2023

İngiliz tiyatrosunun uzun tarihi boyunca Türk imgesi ünlü oyun yazarlarının eserlerinde sıklıkla yer bulmuştur. Haçlı Seferleri'nin başlangıcından bu yana, Batı'nın Türk algısı basmakalıp imajlar üzerine odaklanmıştır. İngiliz edebiyatında yer bulan bu olumsuz basmakalıp değerlendirmeler günümüzde de varlığını sürdürmektedir. Ancak ünlü oyun yazarı Richard Bean ile yirmi birinci yüzyılın başından itibaren İngiliz tiyatrosunda yeni ve olumlu bir Türk imajı ortaya çıkmıştır. Richard Bean, 2007 yılında kaleme aldığı In The Club adlı oyununda Türkiye ile Avrupa Birliği arasındaki ilişkiyi incelerken Türk kültürünün büyük gücüne de dikkat çekmektedir. Oyun, Türkiye'nin Avrupa Kulübü'ne üyelik sürecini tartışmakta, Türkiye’nin üyeliğinin yararlarını vurgulamakta, Türklere karşı klişeleri ve önyargıları ele almaktadır. Bu bağlamda In the Club oyunu, Türkiye'nin kültür ve gelenekleriyle, coğrafi konumu ve laik yapısıyla örnek bir devlet olarak Avrupa Birliği'ni güçlendireceğini ve Türklerin ülkelerini geliştirmek için çok çalışan insanlar olduğunu Avrupa Birliği üyesi ülkelere anımsatmaktadır. Bu çalışma, Richard Bean'in In the Club oyununa konumlanan yeni Türk imgesini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır.
Role of Women in Commercial Driving – A Constructivist Grounded Theory (CGT) Approach
Authors: Banumathi R.C , Vennila D.
Published: March 2023

Women who work in fields where men predominately do so face particular difficulties and employ particular coping skills that have an impact on their motivation and retention in these fields. This study investigates women’s experiences working in male-dominated sectors to comprehend the challenges they encounter and uncover coping mechanisms that allow them to continue their career paths. A lot of women who first favour jobs with a male preponderance quickly transition to female- or gender-balanced career pathways. Plans to motivate women in sectors with a male preponderance can be made easier by understanding their experiences. This exploratory qualitative study was carried out by the researchers utilizing a constructivist grounded theory methodology. They interviewed 60 well-chosen professional drivers in-depth and unstructured. To examine the data, they employ a constructivist grounded theory methodology. The authors contend that discrimination and sexism are mostly caused by unfair practices that women must deal with. These behaviours include disregarding the special physical traits of women and the necessity of work-life balance. Female resilience includes using femininity, accepting masculinity, mentoring, and intrinsic motivators. This study adds to the corpus of information on better retaining and integrating women in environments where men predominate.
GENERAL L. ROKHLIN AND THE “MILITARY OPPOSITION” PHENOMENON OF THE 1990s
Authors: Volgin Evgeniy I.
Published: March 2023

Aim. To study the political phenomenon of General L.Rokhlin (1947–1998) as the leader of the anti-Yeltsin “military opposition” in the second half of the 1990s.

Methodology. The study is based on an interdisciplinary approach, which relies on the use of problem-chronological, formal-legal, and systemic methods.

Results. The conducted analysis revealed that the political phenomenon of Rokhlin was the result of the crisis transformation of the giant military defense complex, which was inherited by Russia from the Soviet Union. At the same time, the methods, which the “rebellious general” wanted to apply to solve the army and the military-industrial complex problems, could not be called completely constitutional. Therefore, Rokhlin appears as an undoubtedly bright and charismatic leader who, at the same time, was quite isolated from the rest of the opposition spectrum, and his significance in the political history of Russia in the 1990s seems quite exaggerated.

Research implications. In the course of the study, new sources were introduced into scientific circulation: materials of the periodical press, legal acts, electronic sources, the integrated use of which enables comprehensive study of the socio-political activities of General L.Rokhlin and his supporters.
How Increased Inflation Affects Businesses

Published: March 2023

Inflation affects the business in many ways and its impact is reflected in the overall operation and life of the business. It has the most significant effect on changes in the prices of inputs and outputs, while these changes are generally uneven. The aim of the article is to evaluate the past and to simulate the possible future development of the financial situation of businesses in an environment of increased inflation and uncertainty in the SR. First, through the available statistical data, we point out that, on average, businesses were able to transfer rising costs into sales. We then carry out a simulation of future development based on two scenarios. We mainly simulate two types of shocks – cost growth and demand decline. According to the findings, a sharp and uneven increase in prices can negatively affect some businesses and disrupt the structure of the business sector. As we also document, the impact of inflation on businesses is heterogeneous.

We study characteristic features of renal blood flow autoregulation in normotensive and spontaneous hypertensive rats using the discrete wavelet transform. We show that the variability of wavelet-coefficients can serve as an essential measure of pathological changes in renal dynamics. The reduced variability reflects a smaller flexibility of the vascular system in the hypertension state.
