Authors: OKRAY Zihniye , BİLGİ ABATAY Güley
Published: September 2022

Objectives: The objective of this study is to examine the effects on burnout levels of socio-demographic characteristics of healthcare professionals in different professions who are on active duty during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: Obtained through socio-demographic information form created by the researchers and Maslach Burnout Scale (MBS) e-data collection method.
Results: It has been found out that gender variable reveals important differences among healthcare professionals and female healthcare professionals are more exhausted than men, the burnout levels of healthcare professionals who have a one-to-one relationship with COVID-19 patients are higher, and healthcare professionals trying to obtain information about the pandemic through social media are more exhausted than others. Variables such as marital status, education level, and being diagnosed with COVID-19 were not found to affect burnout in this study. However, when the data set was divided into two over the gender variable, it was observed that the education level variable affected emotional exhaustion scores among female participants. Although the emotional exhaustion scores of female participants with doctoral and high school education did not reveal a significant difference between the groups in the advanced statistical study, they revealed a significant difference according to the One-Way Analysis of Variance. The group with the highest burnout among healthcare professionals was determined as nurses.
Conclusions: It is important to carry out studies on psychological support and coping with burnout for healthcare professionals who are on active duty during the pandemic.
The role of the albumin/globulin ratio on predicting post-operative pancreatic fistula in pancreaticoduodenectomy patients
Authors: CİFTCİ Ahmet Burak , YEMEZ Kürşat , ERASLAN Hüseyin
Published: September 2022

Background: The albumin/globulin ratio (AGR) is one of several indicators of inflammation and immunity. This ratio has a prognostic significance in many malignant diseases. Previous studies have demonstrated a relationship between inflammatory mediators and post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF). This study aimed to evaluate the relationship of AGR, a relatively new indicator, with post-operative pancreatic fistula (POPF). Methods: Pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) patients between 2017 and 2020 were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups: (1) with and (2) without clinically relevant POPF (CR-POPF). The two groups were compared in terms of pre-operative–post-operative AGR and clinicodemographic characteristics. AGR was calculated as albumin/total protein–albumin, and the cutoff point for AGR was determined according to Youden’s index. Results: CR-POPF developed in 21% of 121 patients who underwent PD. No differences between the groups in terms of age, gender, comorbid disease status, pancreatic duct width, and anastomosis technique were found. Pre- and post-operative day-3 (POD3) albumin levels and AGR were found to be significantly lower in the CR-POPF group. Multivariate analysis showed that AGR and pancreatic tissue stiffness are independent risk factors for POPF development. Conclusion: Low AGR is an independent risk factor for the development of CR-POPF. To reduce the incidence of POPF, this ratio should be maintained at an optimal level. The use of AGR as a useful tool for predicting POPF in pancreaticoduodenectomy patients is suggested.

We developed a technique for synthesising gelatin-stabilised copper oxide nanoparticles. The method behind the synthesis was direct deposition, while the copper oxide precursors used were copper sulphate, chloride and acetate. We employed gelatin as a stabiliser. We employed X-ray diffraction analysis to study the effect that the copper-containing precursor may have on the phase composition in the samples. We found that using copper(II) chloride yields two different modifications of copper(II) hydroxychloride (atacamite and clinoatacamite), while copper(II) sulphate yields brochantite. We established that copper oxide forms only when using copper(II) acetate. Dynamic light scattering data shows that a monomodal size distribution with an average hydrodynamic radius of 61 nm characterises the copper oxide nanoparticles. Investigating the effect that active acidity of the medium may have on the aggregate stability of gelatin-stabilized copper oxide nanoparticles showed that the sample is stable in the pH range of 6.8--11.98. The paper presents the mechanism behind the effect of active acidity of a medium on stability of copper oxide nanoparticles. We investigated how the ionic strength of the solution affects the stability of copper oxide nanoparticle sol. We determined that Ca2+ ions have the greatest effect on the sample

Published: September 2022

Bacteria play a key role in biogeochemical cycles in natural and anthropogenic ecosystems. In river ecosystems, bacteria intensively colonize silt sediments. Microorganisms are essential for energy conversion, biogeochemical nutrient cycling, pollutant degradation, and biotransformation of organic matter; therefore, bottom sediments can be a source of metabolically diverse microorganisms, including those with promise for industrial biotechnologies. The aim of this work was to isolate and study pure cultures of microorganisms – producers of industrially important enzymes and decomposers of organic matter – from bottom sediments of the Ob River. Pork fat and diesel fuel were used as substrates to obtain enrichment and pure cultures for selective cultivation of bacteria with lipolytic and hydrocarbon-oxidizing activity. A total of 21 pure cultures were isolated. The phylogenetic position of the obtained bacterial isolates was determined based on the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences. The strains isolated on selective media belonged to representatives of the genera Pseudomonas and Aeromonas (Gammaproteobacteria), and the genus Microvirgula (Betaproteobacteria). The ability of strains to grow on culture media containing pork fat, olive oil and diesel fuel was analyzed. The lipolytic activity of the isolates was evidenced by cultivation on a diagnostic medium containing 1 % tributyrin. The phylogenetic and metabolic diversity of the cultivated non-pathogenic bacterial strains with lipolytic and oil-oxidizing activity revealed in the study indicates the biotechnological potential of the isolates. The most promising strains were M. aerodenitrificans sp. LM1 and P. lini sp. KGS5K3, which not only exhibited lipolytic activity on the diagnostic medium with tributyrin in a wide temperature range, but also utilized diesel fuel, pork fat and olive oil.
ACADEMIC ETHICS COMMITTEE — FUNCTIONING, LEGAL FRAMEWORK AND ETHICS
Authors: TERZIEV Venelın
Published: September 2022

In Bulgaria, a legal commission on academic ethics has been operating since recently; it is a subsidiary body to the Minister of Education and Science. The regulations of this special body are structured through the Law of Academic Staff Development of the Republic of Bulgaria. Its functions are related to the implementation of certain control of the procedures for obtaining of the educational and scientific Doctor degree and the scientific Doctor of Science degree, as well as for academic positions in Bulgarian universities.
In the past, the most frequently considered cases have been related to incrimination in plagiarism and filing a special report to the Minister of Education and Science..
A priori, the question arises as to how to structure this Academic Ethics Committee, which is determined by order of the Minister of Education and Science. In the practice of forming the membership of such committee, the selection criteria, which must be high enough to be able to guarantee a certain impartiality, are not clear. These are not defined either in the Law for academic staff development of the Republic of Bulgaria and the regulations for its application or in other public normative document. Determining the membership of this kind of national specialized body is of particular importance both for its functioning as well as the competences of its members. Those are currently in active employment relationships with certain universities or research organizations, which predetermines their direct dependence on their managers, who are at the same time their employers. Last but not least, it is worth mentioning the direct connection between the Minister of Education and Science and the heads of higher education institutions in Bulgaria, who have contractual relations of special type of management contracts. These direct and indirect relations create preconditions for dependence of this specialized body - the Academic Ethics Committee.
This study attempts to provide a legal and ethical response to the actions of the Academic Ethics Committee at the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science.

With the COVID 19 pandemic, teachers face all kinds of new challenges. There have been numerous adaptations and teaching strategies implemented in the teaching system in order to continue providing effective and efficient services to learners. In the midst of a pandemic, teachers' adaptation and teaching practices is deemed necessary to assessed. The study centered towards the adaptation and teaching practices of the teachers amidst pandemic. It sought to find answers to: (a) the extent of the teachers’ adaptation on learning modalities, resources, and delivery; (b) the extent of the teaching practices of teachers when analyzed into distribution and retrieval of modules and monitoring and learning assessment; and (c) the relationship between the adaptation and practices of the teaches. Descriptive- correlational method of research was adopted and the respondents of this study were the 71 teachers of selected public elementary school. Mean and Pearson Product Moment were used in analyzing the data. It was concluded that Despite rapid changes in teaching practices, teachers adapt and acclimate to the new learning delivery of the printed modular modality implementation. In the event of a pandemic, teachers will be able to motivate students. Learning assessments are an important part of the educational process. Hearing other people's perspectives and feedback on the assessment results is extremely beneficial to both parents and students. Assessments benefit both students and parents because they provide motivation. Teachers can also observe and provide specific interventions based on the needs of the students.
"Popeye" Roberta Altmana jako antymusical
Authors: Rawska Monika
Published: September 2022

The author analyses Robert Altman’s movie “Popeye” (1980) using genre determinants enunciated by Rick Altman for classical musical, pointing out the fact that director’s auteur style – especially polyphonic hubbub in soundscape – clashes with musical’s immersive character. Narrative scheme visible in the movie would rather suggest its affiliation with Western genre and visual gags strongly invoke another thoroughly American tradition – slapstick. This negation of “musical reality” paired with “entertainess” – category proposed by the author as distinctive for the genre and understood as a pleasurable result of experiencing something that can be considered as artistically well executed – are the reason to call Popeye an anti-musical rather than a musical.
Agronomic Bio-fortification of Iron and Zinc through Nano-fertilizers: A Review
Authors: Dhage S. Sagar , Vidyashree B.S.
Published: September 2022

The task of feeding the global human population estimated at 9.6 billion by 2050 and more than 3 billion people around the world suffer from micronutrient deficiency specially Zn and Fe, due to the consumption of poor-quality food. Micronutrient malnutrition or the hidden hunger is most prevalent amid women and preschool children triggered chiefly by low dietary intake of micronutrients. Biofortification is the process of fostering the bioavailable concentrations of essential elements in edible portions of crop plants by way of agronomic intervention or genetic selection, may perhaps be the solution to malnutrition or hidden hunger mitigation. It provides a comparatively cost effective, sustainableand long-term means of delivering more micronutrients. Thus, the time is to apply nanoparticles or nanofertilizers in solving some of these problems. Nanofertilizers can easily get absorbed by plants due to their high surface area to volume ratio. The sizes and morphologies of nanoparticles are however strong factors that determine the level of bio-accessibility by the plants from the soil. Nanofertilizers will allow controlled release of nutrients, so that this exactly synchronized with the nutritional needs of the crops and helps in improving the accumulation of nutrients in the plant. The plants applied with nanofertilizers not only grow but also accumulate such nutrients, which bridges the gap of nutrient deficiency.

Published: September 2022

O campo da infraestrutura de transportes oferece um desafio ao pesquisador da historiografia da arquitetura. A natureza dos projetos de infraestrutura e o formato das equipes de projeto que os desenvolveram, distantes do formato autoral do cânone moderno, oferecem uma responsabilidade dupla: o de mapear esse nicho profissional, formado por empresas multidisciplinares de engenharia consultiva, e o de analisar as ambições de projeto através de fontes cuja linguagem, malgrado também projetual, se distancia do vocabulário arquitetônico comum. Através da abordagem crítica de Reyner Banham e da historiografia não-canônica da arquitetura, busca-se a maturação de uma ferramenta de pesquisa que interpreta documentos técnicos à luz de suas condicionantes ideológicas. O presente artigo aborda, através de dois estudos de caso, a experiência de pesquisa nos acervos da Prefeitura de São Paulo e do Departamento de Estradas de Rodagem do governo do estado, reflete sobre as condições físicas e a catalogação dos acervos, e aponta para ações necessárias para preservação e melhor interpretação dos acervos, fundamentais para entender a história da infraestrutura e seu impacto na paisagem urbana.

Authors: Mavuru Lydia , Mbonane Sezanele Gugulethu
Published: September 2022

The study sought to establish science teachers’ perceptions about the learning environments and how they implemented constructivist teaching strategies. An explanatory mixed method research design was adopted. The Constructivist Learning Environment Survey was administered to 180 purposively selected grade 10-12 science teachers from 30 schools and analysed using descriptive statistics. Semi-structured interviews were administered to five selected teachers who had shown to be more constructivist than others and data was analysed using constant comparative method. Social constructivism was adopted as the theoretical framework. Findings revealed teachers’ positive disposition in relation to personal relevance, learner negotiation and critical voice as some of the key constructs depicting a constructivist learning environment. Teachers’ disposition in relation to shared control and scientific uncertainty reflected traditional perceptions. Teachers used cooperative teaching strategies, real-life examples, and questions to elicit learners’ prior knowledge. Findings have implications for teacher professional development in classrooms showing diversity in learners’ backgrounds.

Published: September 2022

Dental students must communicate empathetically by paying attention to local cultural values. This article investigates the relationship between studying local culture and interest in developing sympathetic communication. This study uses a qualitative method. Ninety-six dental students were selected as respondents. Primary data comes from student responses and screenshots of learning materials collected through online questionnaires. The results showed that there had been an increase in the knowledge of dental students to develop sympathetic communication by paying attention to the values of local cultural wisdom. Students' responses to learning local culture are divided into three groups: (a) respondents who think that professional dentists must have cultural intelligence in building communication; (b) respondents who think that cultural knowledge is relevant to the social field; and (c) respondents who stated that cultural intelligence could be correlated with various aspects of life. This study provides a basis for designing similar curricula in other universities.

L’agriculture malienne, pilier du développement économique et de la sécurité alimentaire des populations, est affectée par les dérèglements climatiques en raison de son caractère essentiellement pluvial. La présente recherche a pour objectif d’analyser les effets de l’instabilité intra-saisonnière des pluies afin d’identifier les périodes optimales de semis du sorgho en zones soudanienne et sahélienne du Mali. A partir des hauteurs journalières de pluie de la station de katibougou et de San entre 1987 et 2018 fournies par l’Agence pour la Sécurité et la Navigation Aérienne (ASECNAC) du Mali, les dates de début et de fin de saison ont été déterminées. Ensuite, l’analyse fréquentielle du début, de la fin et de la longueur des saisons a été faite aux fréquences de 2, 5 et 8 années sur 10. De même, la fréquence des séquences sèches et humides pendant la saison culturale a été analysée. Les résultats ont montré que dans le cercle de Koulikoro, les dates probables des démarrages de la pluvieuse se situe entre le 06 mai et le 01 août de chaque année. Par contre à San, les dates probables des démarrages de la pluvieuse se situe entre le 12 mai et le 01 août de chaque année. A Koulikoro, la fin de la saison pluvieuse se situe généralement entre le 06 septembre et le 04 novembre. A San, la fin de la saison pluvieuse se situe généralement entre le 03 septembre et le 02 novembre. Les poche de sècheresse de 5 jours (SS1) sont les pauses pluviométriques constatées dans le cercle de Koulikoro et elles décroissent au fur et à mesure jusqu’au mois de septembre. Les SS4 s’accroissent jusqu’au à partir du mois de juillet d’octobre. A San, les SS1 et SS4 sont similaires à ceux du cercle de Koulikoro, par contre les SS3 sont un peu élevés durant les mois de mai, juillet, août et septembre. Dans le cercle de Koulikoro sur 2,5 et 8 années sur 10, la durée de la saison agricole est de 159,132 et 102 jours. Dans ces conditions, la variété du sorgho de 90 jours et de 105 jours peuvent se cultiver normalement depuis la levée jusqu’à la maturation. Par contre à San, sur 2,5 et 8 années sur 10, la durée de la saison agricole est de 123,108 et 89 jours, dans ces conditions la variété du sorgho de 90 jours peuvent se cultiver normalement depuis la levée jusqu’à la maturation par contre la variété de 90 est compromise sur 8 années sur 10 et celle de 105 jours est compromise sur 5 et 8 années sur 10. Au regard de l’intérêt que les producteurs accordent à a culture du sorgho, ils s’approprient plusieurs mesures d’adaptation (planification du calendrier agricole, adoption de la variété culturale à cycle court, utilisation d’engrais) dont l’efficacité mérite d’être analysée.

Authors: Kendal Evie , Bhatt Rohin
Published: September 2022

From an ethical perspective, resource limitations provide a challenge for healthcare providers. Handling disclosure of the financial details of treatment options in a way that empowers patients, even in the face of extreme poverty, requires careful consideration of the personal preferences and motivations of each patient. This article will consider the high costs of dialysis for patients experiencing extreme poverty in light of various ethical principles, including informed consent and truth-telling. It will conclude that a graduated method of disclosing the physical and financial burdens of each treatment option is the best way forward, particularly for healthcare workers engaged in resource-limited settings.

Lenalidomide-based regimens are effective treatment options for patients with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (RRMM). However, they are associated with an increased risk of infectious complications. This study examines the clinical factors influencing the occurrence of infection in MM patients treated with lenalidomide and dexamethasone (Rd). A retrospective analysis of all patients who received the Rd regimen between 2017-2021 at our institution was performed. The study group consisted of 174 patients and the median age was 65 years. Most patients (n=110, 63.2%) received the Rd treatment in second-line treatment. The majority of patients (64.3%) received bortezomib-based regimens in the first line of treatment. The median progression-free survival was 12.6 (95% CI: 9.5 – 16.2) months, and the median overall survival was 22.3 (95% CI: 15.9 – 28.6) months. The overall response rate was 64.1%, 12.7% of patients achieved complete response and 20.4% had a very good partial response. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, hypoalbuminemia (OR 4.2, 95%CI:1.6-11.2, p= 0.0039), autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) before Rd (OR 2.6, 95% CI:1.0- 6.7, p= 0.048) and anemia grade ≥3 (OR 5.0, 95%CI: 1.8-14.0, p= 0.002) were independent factors related to the occurrence of infections. In conclusion, in this large cohort of RRMM patients, AHSCT before Rd regimen therapy, hypoalbuminemia and anemia during treatment were identified as three independent factors influencing the frequency of infections during Rd therapy. Patients with established risk factors may benefit from optimal supportive therapy.

Acinetobacter baumannii is a multidrug-resistant and invasive pathogen associated with the etiopathology of both an increasing number of nosocomial infections and of relevance to poultry production systems. Multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii has been reported in connection to severe challenges to clinical treatment, mostly due to an increase rate of resistance to carbapenems. Amid the possible strategies aiming to reduce the insurgence of antimicrobial resistance, phage therapy has gained particular importance for the treatment of bacterial infections. This review summarises the different phage-therapy approaches currently in use for multiple-drug resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, including single phage therapy, phage cocktails, phage -antibiotic combination therapy, phage coding Acinetobacter baumannii and the novel phage enzyme treatment. Although phage therapy represents a potential treatment solution for multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, further research is needed to unravel some unanswered questions especially in regard to its in vivo applications, before possible routine clinical use.
Coastal Upwelling in the western Bay of Bengal: Role of Local and Remote Windstress

Monsoon winds drive upwelling along the eastern coast of India during the south-west (SW) monsoons. These winds also provide alongshore windstress (AWS) resulting in positive cross-shore Ekman transport (ET) from March to the end of September. While instances of high ET and sea surface temperature based upwelling index (UI_SST) were observed along two parts of the coast: between Kashinagara and Kakinada in the north, and between Kavali and Point Calimere in the south. The UI_SST illustrated a much poorer agreement with local ET in the northern section, where the onset of UI_SST preceded the rise of ET and the subsidence of UI_SST signals occurred during a period of rising ET. Additionally, negative sea surface height anomalies (SSHAs), typically associated with coastal upwelling, were also missing through most of the upwelling period. A complex empirical orthogonal function (CEOF) analysis revealed two coherent modes of SSHA variation. The first mode showed a SSHA signature spatio-temporally coincident with the first upwelling and downwelling Kelvin waves closely associated with the equatorial zonal winds that drive them. The second CEOF mode, with a coastal SSHA pattern similar to the SSHA signatures of coastal upwelling, was associated with local offshore ET along the Indian east coast. The CEOF analysis exhibited the triggering of coastal upwelling in April and its suppression from June by coastally trapped Kelvin waves along the northeastern coast of India, while local AWS driven ET was the primary driver of coastal upwelling along the southeastern coast. The second CEOF mode also exhibited a coherent negative coastal SSHA signature excited by local AWS driven ET during the upwelling period. This study examined the spatio-temporal variability of premonsoon and SW monsoon coastal upwelling along the western Bay of Bengal and its relation to remotely forced coastal Kelvin waves.
Development and Testing of an Integrated Energy-Efficient Vehicle Speed and Traffic Signal Controller
Authors: Chen Hao , Rakha Hesham
Published: September 2022

This paper develops a two-layer optimization approach that provides energy-optimal control for vehicles and traffic signal controllers. The optimizer in the first layer computes the traffic signal timings to minimize the total energy consumption levels of approaching vehicles from upstream traffic. The traffic signal optimization can be easily implemented in real-time signal controllers, and it overcomes the issues in the traditional Webster’s method of overestimating the cycle length when the traffic volume-to-capacity ratio exceeds 50 percent. The second layer optimizer is the vehicle speed controller, which calculates the optimal vehicle brake and throttle levels to minimize the energy consumption of individual vehicles. The A-star dynamic programming is used to solve the formulated optimization problem in the second layer to expedite the computation speed so that the optimal vehicle trajectories can be computed in real-time and can be easily implemented in simulation software for testing. The proposed integrated controller is first tested on an isolated signalized intersection, and then an arterial network with multiple intersections to investigate the performance of the proposed controller under various traffic demand levels. The test results demonstrate that the proposed integrated controller can greatly improve energy efficiency with fuel savings up to 17.7%, at the same time enhancing traffic mobility by up to 47.18% reduction in traffic delay and up to 24.84% reduction in vehicle stops.

Published: September 2022

Background: Some studies have shown that an increase in visceral fat is associated with postoperative clinical and oncologic outcomes. However, no studies have used bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) to determine the effects of visceral fat on the oncologic outcomes of colorectal cancer (CRC). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between visceral fat area (VFA) and clinical, and oncologic outcomes in CRC. Methods: This study included 203 patients who underwent anthropometric measurements by BIA before surgical treatment for CRC between January 2016 and June 2020. Results: According to the cutoff level of VFA by receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, 85 (40.5%) patients had a low VFA, and 119 (59.5%) had a high VFA. Multivariate analysis found that preoperative CRP (hazard ratio [HR], 3.882; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.001–15.051; p=0.050) and nodal stage (HR, 7.996; 95% CI, 1.414–45.209; p=0.019) were independent prognostic factors for overall survival, while sex (HR, 0.110; 95% CI, 0.013–0.905; p=0.040), lymphovascular invasion (HR, 3.560; 95% CI, 1.098–11.544; p=0.034), and VFA (HR, 4.263; 95% CI, 1.280–14.196; p=0.040) were independent prognostic factors for disease-free survival (DFS). Conclusion: High VFA preoperatively measured by BIA was associated with inflammations and was an independent prognostic factor for DFS.
