The challenges associated with short volume sodium citrate blood samples
Authors: Gaskin Danny , Yahaya Ola
Published: April 2021

In the laboratory, we often receive phone calls from our clinical colleagues with questions about decisions we have made that might affect their patient’s care. For example, enquiries about why we have rejected a sample or why we were unable to provide a particular result due to a pre-analytical or technical error. In this series of short articles, we want to try and address some of the most common questions we get asked, with the aim of educating the wider workforce in a way that is simple to understand, about the decisions we make in the laboratory. We hope that with a greater understanding, the number of avoidable errors might be reduced.In this article, we explore the pre-analytical challenges associated with short volume sodium citrate anti-coagulated blood samples and why these must be rejected.
Extreme altitude and illness: How can medical sciences help us to achieve the Everest dream?
Authors: Wilkinson Mark , Kirk Joshua
Published: April 2021

Since the first recorded summit of Everest in 1953, medical and technological advances have increased the mountain’s accessibility. This has resulted in a commercialisation of Everest expeditions and an underestimation of the challenges the mountain poses. A large proportion of climber mortality on Everest is attributable to controllable and often preventable human factors called subjective hazards, the most prominent being altitude illness. Arguably the biggest cause of death on Everest, altitude illness is a set of conditions resulting from the inability to acclimatise to the hypoxic environment at altitude. Increasing numbers of climbers on Everest are underprepared, meaning they are at increased risk of developing altitude illness and death. The aetiology of altitude illness is complex and multifactorial, however there are measures which can be taken to reduce susceptibility and treat the condition. Unfortunately due to its complex causation and unspecific symptoms, altitude illness is often hard to foresee and diagnose. Susceptibility to altitude illness is increased massively with a previous history of the illness, fast rate of ascent and certain genetic factors. Knowledge of the causation is being used to construct clinical tests, which can help predict summiting success and produce management plans for those suffering from the illness.This review identifies the importance of acclimatisation programmes and a slow rate of ascent in reducing the incidence and severity of altitude illness. In addition to examining current best practice for its prevention and treatment, it also aims to produce a conclusive approach to extreme altitude expeditions, by discussing the efficacy of possible screening tests and the best predictors for altitude illness.

Social media today has become a very popular communication tool for users. Millions of users share their opinions on different aspects on daily basis. Sentiment Analysis determines the polarity and inclination towards any specific topic, idea or entity. Applications of such analysis can be seen during elections, movie promotions, and many other fields. In our project, we aim to predict the winning probability of any political party by using both labelled as well as unlabeled data. Labelled data can be collected by using polling method but the result may not provide better accuracy. Hence, it is necessary to fetch live data to predict the accurate election result. Twitter is a microblogging site which allows the users in posting quick and real-time updates about different activities or events as the spread of information and news is quick enough. With the help of hashtags, the needed data can be easily generated and put to use. We exploited the python library “Tweepy” for accessing the Twitter API and fetched live data from Twitter. 350 tweets for each political party are fetched by using keywords. Using “TextBlob” library of python, sentiments are applied to each tweet and depending upon more positive tweets for particular party, winning party is declared. Also, popular text classification algorithms like Na¨ıve Bayes, SVM and Random Forest are used to train model using labelled data. The accuracy of the predicted result is calculated and the result is declared Finally, result is represented in the form of bargraph for labelled data according to the number of voted for each political party and for unlabeled data using pie chart for each political party representing positive, negative and neutral sentiments.

Examining the Competitiveness in European Banking Industry with Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy TOPSIS Approaches
Authors: YUKSEL Serhat , DİNÇER Hasan
Published: April 2021

This study aims to evaluate the competitiveness in European banking industry. For this purpose, 5 European countries, which have the highest GDP, are considered in this study that are Germany, France, United Kingdom, Italy, and Spain. Moreover, 6 different criteria are selected based on the literature review. Fuzzy AHP method is considered to understand the significance of the dimensions and criteria. On the other side, fuzzy TOPSIS model is used to rank these 5 European countries according to competitiveness in the banking industry. The findings show that low cost is the most significant criterion for this condition. In addition to this issue, it is also concluded that Germany and France are on the first ranks regarding the competitiveness in the banking industry. Hence, it is recommended that European banks should firstly concentrate on the cost effectiveness in order to increase the competitive power. In this framework, a detailed analysis should be conducted to understand which cost types are greater in comparison with the others. Hence, it can be possible to minimize the costs of the banks so that these banks can offer lower prices to their customers. This situation has a positive impact on the competitive power of the banks.

This research entitled “An Assessment of the impact of credit risk management and performance on loan portfolio at International Bank Liberia Limited from 2015-2017 contributed to the body of knowledge to the beneficiaries. It findings are also important for the Central Bank to use in monitoring credit scoring and history across all commercial bank with in the country. This study was quantitative in nature, and involves mathematical modelling in order to determine the effect of changes in interest rates on profit and net worth of the sampled banks. This study uses panel data and assumes that the effect of interest rate changes vary across the observations and over time, therefore the use of stochastic econometric (panel regression analysis) process is appropriate. The population of the study will consist of 150 credit staffs and other staffs of IBLL. The study adopt a census study and collect data for two years from 1st January, 2015 to 31st December, 2017 and the researcher used sample out 85 respondents representing 57% as the sample size from the population of 150 persons from the study area. The findings reveals that it was established from the study that 25% of the respondents who were picked from the institution agreed that credit score is one of the major system used by the bank in determining loan and 32% selected credit history. It was also observed that that bank operate within a defined credit granting criteria. The findings also show that IBLL established a system of independent, ongoing assessment of the bank‟s credit risk management. It was proven that 48% of the respondents agree while 41% strongly agree. It was established that IBLL have a loan risk management policy in place. This policy is very crucial in providing guidelines on how to manage the various risks the bank encounter in their lending activities. Members of the bank and regulators are those responsible for the formulation of the credit policy with less input from employees.
Dolores

Published: April 2021

Dolores es la primera novela de la escritora colombiana Soledad Acosta de Samper y fue publicada en el mismo año que María de Jorge Isaacs. Las novelas cuentan un mismo país, pero parece otro: el narrador masculino, semejante al de María, se ve obligado a cederle la palabra a su prima Dolores. A diferencia de María, Dolores ya no calla, tiene una biblioteca y se convierte en escritora. Desde su casa, internada en lo profundo de un bosque, trata de entender qué significa entender qué significa ser una mujer en el siglo XIX, cuando se les negaba su voz y autonomía, y, con ello, la ciudadanía. "Dolores ha sido la novela de Acosta más estudiada por la crítica y una de las que más interés ha suscitado en los lectores. (...) Ya es hora de que los lectores y lectoras tengan acceso pleno a esta otra novela clave de nuestro siglo XIX, y vital para la comprensión de la tradición de escritoras en Hispanoamérica y en nuestro país".

Mass balance modelling and climate sensitivity of Saskatchewan Glacier, western Canada
Authors: Kinnard Christophe , Larouche Olivier , Demuth Michael N. , Menounos Brian
Published: April 2021

Abstract. Glacier mass balance models are needed at sites with scarce long-term observations to reconstruct past glacier mass balance and assess its sensitivity to future climate change. In this study North American Regional Reanalysis (NARR) data are used to force a physically-based, distributed glacier mass balance model of Saskatchewan Glacier for the historical period 1979–2016 and assess it sensitivity to climate change. A two-year record (2014–2016) from an on-glacier automatic weather station (AWS) and a homogenized historical precipitation record from nearby permanent weather stations were used to downscale air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, incoming solar radiation and precipitation from the nearest NARR gridpoint to the glacier AWS site. The model was run with fixed (1979, 2010) and time-varying (dynamic) geometry using a multi-temporal digital elevation model (DEM) dataset. The model showed a good performance against recent (2012–2016) direct glaciological mass balance observations as well as with cumulative geodetic mass balance estimates. The simulated mass balance showed a large sensitivity to the biases in NARR precipitation and solar radiation, as well as to the prescribed precipitation lapse rate and ice aerodynamic roughness lengths, showing the importance of constraining these parameters with ancillary data. The difference between the static (1979) and dynamic simulations showed small differences (mean = 0.06 m w.e. a−1 or 1.5 m w.e. over 37 yrs), indicating minor effects of elevation changes on the glacier specific mass balance. The static mass balance sensitivity to climate was assessed for prescribed changes in regional mean air temperature between 0 to 7 °C and precipitation between −20 to +20 %, which comprise the spread of ensemble IPCC representative concentration pathways climate scenarios for the mid (2041–2070) and late (2071–2100) 21st century. The climate sensitivity experiments showed that future changes in precipitation would have a small impact on glacier mass-balance, while the temperature sensitivity increases with warming, from −0.65 to −0.93 m w.e. °C−1. Increased melting accounted for 90 % of the temperature sensitivity while precipitation phase feedbacks accounted for only 10 %. Roughly half of the melt response to warming was driven by a positive albedo feedback, in which glacier albedo decreases as the snow cover on the glacier thins and recedes earlier in response to warming, increasing net solar radiation fluxes. About one quarter of the melt response to warming was driven by latent heat energy gains (positive humidity feedback). Our study underlines the key role of albedo and air humidity in modulating the response of winter-accumulation type mountain glaciers and upland icefield-outlet glacier settings to climate.
Deprived of the Sea: Being a Kenyan Final-year Medical Student During the COVID-19 Outbreak

Published: April 2021

Five months after the confirmation of the first case of COVID-19 in Kenya, the cases and fatalities due to the disease is still on the rise. The effects of the disease in the developing country have been far-reaching, and closure of all learning institutions has now shifted attention to online learning. However, challenges such as inconsistent access to the internet and electricity have led to inequality in education access. As final-year medical students, online lectures have been a new exciting experience, but it also came with challenges. The halt in clinical medical education has significantly affected the learning and school calendar. Although we are almost done with our journey through medical school, we cannot proceed any further. However, we remain hopeful that a leeway shall be found, and we shall join other healthcare workers in serving our country.
8-Year-Old Child with Cerebral Palsy Treated with Pelvic Osteotomies Using 3.5 MM Blade Plate Having Subsequent Bilateral Implant Aseptic Loosening: A Case Report
Authors: Ahmed Nahian  , Julieanne P. Sees
Published: April 2021

Background: Cerebral palsy (CP) is a central problem of the brain due to neurological insult that affects muscle posture, tone, and movement, resulting in poor motor control and dysfunctional muscle balance affecting hip joints in the growing child. Surgical treatment of hip and, if present, acetabular dysplasia addresses the femoral neck-shaft angle, appropriate muscle lengthening, and deficiency of acetabular coverage, as necessary. The surgeons perform proximal femoral osteotomies (PFOs) mostly with fixed angled blade plates (ABP) with proven success. The technique using an ABP is common and requires detailed attention to perform and to teach.

The Case: In this case, an eight-year-old ambulatory patient with CP underwent bilateral proximal varus femoral derotational and pelvic osteotomies for the neuromuscular hip condition with a 3.5 mm Locking Cannulated Blade System (OP-LCP) by OrthoPediatrics Corp instead of the use of the conventional 4.5 mm ABP procedure, resulting in aseptic loosening.

Conclusion: Due to the child’s underdeveloped posture, the surgeon utilized the 3.5 mm instrumentation for a child-size implant, which worked sufficiently for the surgery but may not have loosened if a similar child-size blade plate system of 4.5 mm screws was implanted. While the ABP and OP-LCP systems are fruitful and safe for internal corrections of PFOs, the OP-LCP system may aid the residents in learning the procedure with higher confidence, fewer technical inaccuracies, and refined outcomes. Both systems are safer and viable for the treatment of neuromuscular hip conditions.
From a Romantic Shōjo to an Independent Otaku: The Transformations of the Female Protagonist in the Sarashina nikki Manga
Authors: Barova-Özcan Pana
Published: April 2021

This paper examines the three manga adaptations of Sarashina nikki (The Sarashina Diary, ca. 1058) written by Sugawara no Takasue no musume (Sugawara no Takasue's daughter) (1008-1059). The three manga adaptations were created in the early 1990s and in 2014, and belong to the genre of shōjo manga. Focusing on key episodes and scenes in the three manga rewritings, I examine how each recreates the heroine and why specific images of the eleventh-century woman emerged at the time they did. I argue that the shifting representations of the female protagonist in Sarashina nikki reflect social developments in Japan since the 1970s, including the decreasing importance of patriarchal norms and traditional roles assigned to women as wives and mothers. These adaptations show how the stereotypical view of young girls and women as cute (kawaii), which implies obedience, passivity, and dependence, has shifted towards a new, modern image of Japanese women who make independent choices regarding their social roles and careers.
Beyond “In Spring, the Dawn”: Redeeming The Pillow Book through Manga
Authors: Ivanova Gergana E.
Published: April 2021

This paper examines three manga adaptations of The Pillow Book (Makura no sōshi, early 11th c.) published in the past thirty years to show how popular culture challenges Japanese school education and its approaches to teaching classical literature. It argues that manga rewritings of the Heian-period text aim to increase modern interest in this ancient work and help to rectify misconceptions of it generated by national literature (kokubungaku) scholarship and traditional methods of teaching classical literature in Japan. Prioritizing the content instead of its formal features, these rewritings offer a new approach to the eleventh-century work by presenting the material in an engaging and relevant way that resonates with modern readers.
Shōjo Murasaki, Seinen Genji: Sexual Violence and Textual Violence in Yamato Waki’s Fleeting Dreams and Egawa Tatsuya’s Tale of Genji Manga
Authors: Milutin Otilia
Published: April 2021

This paper examines how two manga versions of the Heian classic Tale of Genji, belonging to two different genres and targeting different readership, engage with and interpret the tale’s episodes depicting sexual encounters, which may be read as problematic in the original text. The shojo version, Yamato Waki’s Asaki yumemishi, published between 1980 and 1993, and targeting predominantly female audiences, how two distinct approaches in its treatment of certain potentially uncomfortable episodes: some episodes which verge too close to a reading of sexual violence, are outright erased from the manga versions. Others, whose presence is invaluable to the narrative, are remarkably faithful to the original text, while at the same time contextualizing and domesticating all threats of sexual violence that might have marred the original text. By contrast, Egawa Tatsuya’s seinen version of Genji monogatari, marketed towards a young male adult readership, takes the extreme approach of depicting all sexual encounters in the tale as consensual, pleasurable and highly explicit. The ambiguity of the original text is simply done away with by juxtaposing said text and its fairly accurate rendition into modern Japanese with quasi-pornographic, shunga-evoking scenes of sex.
Beyond “Transborder”: Tawada Yōko’s Vision of Another World Literature
Authors: Young Victoria
Published: April 2021

This article presents a critical examination of “transborder” literary approaches that seek to renegotiate the position of Japanese fiction within the world. The concept of transborder fiction has emerged in recent decades as a means of breaking down the boundaries of Japanese literature that assume agreement between the nationality of a writer and the language of her text. However, as it takes its cues from David Damrosch’s influential study of 2003, What is World Literature?, which suggests that literature gains in value in translation, transborder literature betrays its desires to promote Japan’s national literature in a globalising literary context. This more critical view reveals that despite their calls for greater literary diversity, transborder approaches exhibit problematic tendencies that threaten to erase the multiple flows of language and intertextuality already extant within modern Japanese fiction and turn its eye away from history. This critique is focalised through the writing of Tawada Yōko, whose prolific output of literary works and essays in Japanese and German appear to epitomise the image of transborder writing, and yet which frequently challenge these assumptions. Both the book-length essay Exophony (2003) and the Japanese novel Tabi o suru hadaka no me (2004) offer prescient critiques rooted in history that expose moments of rupture, asymmetry and untranslatability, which an emphasis on border crossings threatens to overlook. However, by choosing to peer through those gaps, guided by the latter’s Vietnamese narrator, these texts also incite hitherto unseen connections between Tawada’s Japanese fiction and the world.

Feminist Space Invaders: Killjoy Conversations in Neoliberal Universities
Authors: Hart Carrie E. , Colonna Sarah E.
Published: April 2021

As teachers of Gender, Women’s and Sexuality Studies (GWS), whenever we think about our pedagogical goals, we imagine our classrooms as spaces in which students can learn not only the what, but also the how and why of feminism.  The strategies we employ, and the ways in which we invite students to imagine what could be, are meant to expand our collective agency, courage, and creativity in the interests of transforming oppressive practices in formal schooling and beyond.  While developing our classes, we thought about what new connections we could foster between our students and each other as teachers, given that we were located on different university campuses. We asked ourselves what the possibilities for and benefits of sharing space might be, as well as how the process of forging connections itself could be a subversive practice.  Particularly since feminist theory is a dynamic practice of study in which communicating across difference is so imperative, we took the opportunity to foster a cross-campus dialogue between our classes.  In setting up the collaboration, we decided that facilitating an ongoing conversation between the two groups would best achieve the goals of helping our students to “pull back the curtain” on how the other class was processing this information.  By intentionally invading each other’s spaces, we hoped to open up possibilities for our students to share new insights with each other as well as to demonstrate ways in which the classroom experience can be pushed and prodded beyond standard, normative practices.
It Takes Heart: The Experiences and Working Conditions of Caring Educators
Authors: Ismael Julia , Lazzaro Althea Eannace , Ishihara Brianna
Published: April 2021

At the heart of the education work that we do at our community college is a crisis that is shared, we suspect, in the majority of education settings.  This is a “crisis of care” (Arruzza, Bhattacharya, Fraser 68) that emerges from the squeeze between our students’ deep and justifiable need for a caring environment in which to learn, and our desires and struggles as education workers to fulfill that need while keeping our bodies and souls together.  

Research on culturally responsive teaching and feminist education have demonstrated the greater ability of students to flourish when they are cared for in the classroom (Gay 48; Nodding 20, 176).  But care for students, while it can be deeply satisfying for the educator, takes considerable work and skill, and providing care for a wage (especially not a livable one, especially if you are a woman of color in a predominantly white institution, especially if you are working an unwaged double-shift) can lead to burnout (Russell Hochschild 89-90; England 391-392). In the neoliberal, scarcity-based institutional contexts in which many of us work, this crisis sets the well-being of our students against the well-being of us as educators.  At our college, the stories of our students’ struggles and triumphs compete in our mouths with our own stories of financial distress, long hours, and emotional exhaustion.  How then, as education workers who love our students, but also love ourselves, do we do justice to each of these needs?

Through a series of 3 recorded talking circles with 20 of our colleagues, we sought to answer that question by building solidarity, knowledge, and mutual aid. This paper will present the scholarship of care from education, feminism, and critical race theory, alongside the words of our colleagues to build a more complete picture of care work, emotional labor, and burnout for education workers at our community college.  The paper will end with some of the ways that we are beginning to build webs of care to sustain us in our work, while we demand better conditions for ourselves and our students.

“The 90s fucking sucked”. Neonaturalismo y neoliberalismo en la novela policial rioplatense: Estokolmo de Gustavo Escanlar (Uruguay) y Entre hombres de Germán Maggiori (Argentina)
Authors: Pignatiello Gerardo
Published: April 2021

Este artículo se ocupa de las representaciones de la hegemonía ideológica neoliberal de la década de 1990 en dos novelas policiales contemporáneas de Argentina y Uruguay. Estas dos ficciones presentan la característica común de compartir ciertos rasgos pertenecientes al Naturalismo de finales del siglo XIX. Al mismo tiempo, muestran una novedad consistente en concebir la ideología hegemónica de la época como un determinante ambiental más que se suma a lo social, lo político, lo económico, etcétera. A partir de este análisis, podemos entender la adecuación entre el contenido representado y esta forma neonaturalista como proyecto narrativo de ambas novelas
Bolaño, Borges y la cultura de fin de siglo. Una lectura de La literatura nazi en América y Estrella distante
Authors: Silva Guadalupe
Published: April 2021

Este artículo indaga la apropiación literaria de Borges por parte de Roberto Bolaño en dos novelas, La literatura nazi en América y Estrella distante, ambas de 1996. Si bien es conocida la orientación borgeana de estos libros de Bolaño -en especial del primero-, el aporte de este ensayo consiste en contextualizar dicha apropiación en el marco de la cultura de finales del siglo XX, y en explorar un aspecto de la obra de Borges poco atendido por la crítica de Bolaño: su faceta antifascista. A través del análisis comparado de estas novelas con el cuento de Borges “Deustches Requiem” (1946), el artículo se propone iluminar un aspecto relevante del proyecto narrativo de Bolaño.
La forma conveniente: destreza narrativa y pathos contenido en “El fardo” de Rubén Darío
Authors: Paredes Alberto
Published: April 2021

“El fardo” es un relato atípico de Rubén Darío; originalmente le causó satisfacción pero posteriormente decidió apartarse de ese modelo narrativo. El tema proviene de una realidad social inmediata. No obstante los juicios del autor, permanece como un cuento (en el sentido moderno) sumamente logrado en el que sobresale su “forma conveniente”. La huella de Emile Zola, en efecto pero también la de Victor Hugo están presentes.
Vanguardia vestida de folletín. Una lectura de "Emelina", novela chilena de Rubén Darío (y Eduardo Poirier)
Authors: Valcárcel Eva
Published: April 2021

En estas páginas nos acercaremos al análisis de la primera novela que lleva la firma de Rubén Darío. Emelina, escrita en coautoría con Eduardo Poirier en 1886 y publicada en 1987. Se trata de un texto que reúne ciertas particularidades. Por una parte, es la primera novela de un gran artista aún muy joven, aunque en plenitud de su talento. Técnicamente, utiliza recursos que serán elaborados posteriormente por la vanguardia, como las apelaciones al lector, la introducción del autor en el texto, cierta exhibición del proceso de elaboración de la obra, la narración por medio de textos externos como las noticias de prensa y las cartas leídas por los personajes, alejando así la verosimilitud frente a lo verídico reclamado desde la ficción.

Violencia ecológico-ambiental y modernización económica en Colombia: una mirada a "Libro de signos" (1930) de León de Greiff
Authors: Villegas-Restrepo Juan Esteban
Published: April 2021

Tomando como punta de lanza las dinámicas modernizantes adoptadas por Colombia entre 1920 y 1940, este trabajo lleva a cabo una lectura ecocrítica, esto es, atenta a las relaciones que literatura y el mundo natural, de algunos de los poemas de Libro de Signos (1930) de León de Greiff. Una lectura de esta índole, cómo bien habremos de mostrar, posibilitaría dinamitar la concepción, casi siempre antropocéntrica, que se ha tenido sobre el fenómeno de la violencia en el país. Ello, a su vez, permitiría inscribir la temática de la violencia ecológico-ambiental en el amplio espectro de violencias sucesivas que ha sufrido el mismo a lo largo de su historia republicana.

يهدف المقال إلى الإجابة عن إشكالية مفادها: ماهي الشروط الموضوعية لإمكان تقديم تحليل سيميائي فعلي للمدينة؟ هي إشكالية تتجاوز السؤال التقليدي للسيمائيين: كيف يمكن اعتبار المدينة "شيئا" يحيل أو يتكلم عن شيء آخر غير ذاتها؟ إلى سؤال: إذا كانت المدينة نصا اجتماعيا فما هي اللغة التي كتب بها هذا النص؟، يعرض المقال لتصور يتجاوز فهم السيمائيين للمدن باعتبارها نسقا سيمائيا تكون فيه المعاني الوظيفية والاجتماعية مجرد شيء مضاف إلى المدينة باعتبارها بناء ماديا، هو تصور يفترض أنه على أهمية كل المقاربات السيمائية للمدينة، فإنها جميعا وبلا استثناء لم تحط بالماهية الحقيقية للمدن، وتحديدا بعدها المجالي، وهو الأمر الذي استدعى الانفتاح على نظرية التركيب المجالي لصاحبها بيل هيليير باعتبارها نظرية سوسيولوجية تمكن من إعادة بناء العلاقة بين المدينة والمعاني المقترنة بها بشكل أكثر شمولية وإجرائية من خلال إتاحة التعامل مع المدن باعتبارها نصوصا تتحدث لغة خاصة يمكن قراءتها فعليا، وهذا الأمر يفتح آفاقا جديدة أمام التحليل السيميائي للمدن.

Published: April 2021

Amaç: Gebelik planlayan kadınların, obeziteyi saptamakta kullanılan geleneksel yöntem olan beden kitle indeksi (BKİ) kavramı hakkında ve obeziteye bağlı gebelik komplikasyonları hakkında yeterli bilgi sahibi olmaları, obeziteye bağlı gebelik komplikasyonlarında azalma sağlayabilir. Bu çalışmada, gebelik planlayan kadınların BKİ ve obeziteye bağlı oluşan gebelik riskleri hakkındaki bilgi düzeylerinin saptanması amaçlanmıştır.Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışmada, Haziran-Ağustos 2020 tarihleri arasında Fındıklı Bölge Guatr Araştırma ve Tedavi Merkezi Aile Hekimliği Polikliniği’ne başvuran 18-45 yaş arası gebelik planlayan toplam 211 evli kadın ele alınmıştır. Sosyodemografik özellikler anketi, BKİ bilgi düzeyi ve obezitenin gebeliğe etkileri hakkında sorular içeren ölçekler yüz yüze yöntemiyle uygulanmıştır. Veriler istatistiksel olarak değerlendirilmiş ve karşılaştırılmıştır.Bulgular: Katılımcıların (n=211) yaş ortalaması 31,7 ± 5,9 yıldır. Katılımcıların %40,3’ü (n=85) gebelik öncesi danışmanlık aldığını belirtmiştir ve %37,4’ünün (n=79) BKİ 25 ile 29.9 arasındadır. Katılımcıların BKİ ölçeği ortalama puanları 5 üzerinden 0,99 ± 0,69 olup prekonsepsiyonel bakım alanların ortalama BKİ puanları, almayanlara göre anlamlı olarak yüksektir (p=0,01). Katılımcıların ‘morbid (aşırı) obez bir kadında gebelikte oluşabilecek her bir komplikasyon için ‘yüksek’ veya ‘çok yüksek’ risk düzeyi’ belirtmiş olanların ortalama BKİ puanları anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (p
İnfertilite Tedavisi için Başvuran Çiftlerde Erkeğin Eşine Gösterdiği Şiddet ve Evliliğe Uyum Düzeyi
Authors: Halıcı Elif Can , Saatci Esra
Published: April 2021

Amaç: İnfertilite tıbbi, psikiyatrik, psikolojik ve sosyal sorunları beraberinde getiren, kültürel, dinsel ve sınıfsal yönleri olan, bireye spesifik, çiftlerde strese yol açan, toplumsal etiketlenmeyle sonuçlanan, cinsellikle ilgili başarısızlık, yetersizlik duyguları yaşanmasına neden olan, yaşamı değiştiren bir deneyimdir. İnfertilitede, şiddeti tetikleyen veya artırabilecek pek çok faktör bulunmaktadır. Aile kurumunun en temel fonksiyonlarından biri olan neslin devamını sağlamada başarısız olan çiftler, evlilik ilişkilerinde de olumsuzluklar yaşarlar. Bu çalışmada amaç,infertilite tedavisi için başvuran çiftlerde erkeğin eşine uyguladığı şiddeti belirlemek ve bu çiftlerde erkeğin evlilik uyumunu değerlendirmektir.Yöntem: Araştırma evrenini, Haziran -Ekim 2017 tarihlerinde Çukurova Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Kadın Hastalıkları ve Doğum Anabilim Dalı İnfertilite Polikliniği’ne başvuran çiftlerden 286 erkek oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada tarafımızca oluşturulan 18 soruluk Sosyodemografik Veri Formu, 31 sorudan oluşan Yeniden Gözden Geçirilen Çatışma Taktikleri Ölçeği-2’den yararlanılarak Dönmez ve arkadaşları tarafından hazırlanan ölçek ve 15 sorudan oluşan Evlilik Uyum Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanan veriler kodlanarak bilgisayara girilmiş ve SPSS 20.0 istatiksel analiz programı aracılığıyla değerlendirilmiştir.Bulgular: Araştırmaya katılan erkeklerin yaş ortalaması 34,79±7,24 yıl olup ortalama evlilik süresi 5,87±4,86 yıl, ilk evlilik yaşı ortalaması 26,33±5,09 yıl olduğu bulunmuştur. Yeniden Gözden Geçirilmiş Çatışma Taktikleri Ölçeği-2 sonucuna göre katılımcıların %93,4’ü eşlerine şiddet uygulamaktadır. Çalışmamıza katılan erkeklerin uyguladıkları genel şiddet ile mevcut sosyodemografik veriler arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanmamıştır. Çocuk sahibi olma ve sigara ile fiziksel ve cinsel şiddet arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanmıştır. Ekonomik şiddet ise eş çalışma durumu ve aile tipi ile anlamlı ilişkili bulunmuştur. Evlilik Uyum Ölçeği sonucuna göre katılımcıların %80,4’ünde evlilik uyumunun olduğu bulunmuştur. Çalışma durumu, daha önce infertilite tedavisi alma durumu ve kaçıncı evlilik olduğu gibi sosyodemografik değişkenlerle evlilik uyumu arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanmıştır.Sonuç: Çalışmamıza katılan infertil çiftlerden erkeklerin eşlerine şiddet uyguladığı ve en sık uygulanan şiddet türünün psikolojik şiddet olduğu bulunmuştur. Çalışmamıza katılan infertil çiftlerde erkeklerin büyük çoğunluğunun evlilik uyumunun olduğu ve infertiliteden bu açıdan etkilenmedikleri sonucuna ulaşılmıştır..

Published: April 2021

Amaç: Mevcut tıbbi sağlık bakım sistemini iyileştirmek iyi bir araştırma kalitesi ile sağlanır ve bu tıp fakültesi öğrencilerinden başlayarak uzmanlık öğrencilerinin araştırmaya yönelik ilgilerini oluşturmakla başlanır. Öğrencilerin araştırmaya yönelik tutumlarını anlamak, araştırmaya yönelik olumsuz görüşlerini ele almak, kaygılarını değerlendirmek önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, bir üniversitesi hastanesinde görev yapan tıpta uzmanlık öğrencileri arasında bilimsel araştırmaya yönelik kaygı düzeylerini ve ilişkili olabilecek faktörleri değerlendirmek amaçlandı.Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tasarlanan bu çalışma Ekim-Aralık 2019 tarihleri arasında bir tıp fakültesinde görevli tıpta uzmanlık öğrencilerini kapsamaktadır. Araştırmaya katılanların sosyodemografik özellikleri sorgulandı ve araştırma kaygısını değerlendiren araştırmalara yönelik kaygı ölçeği uygulandı.Bulgular: Toplam 310 tıpta uzmanlık öğrencisinin katıldığı bu araştırmada, katılanların yaş ortalaması 28,3±2,6 yıl ve %49,0’u (n=152) kadındı. Tıpta uzmanlık öğrencilerinde bilimsel araştırmaya yönelik kaygı ölçeği ortalama puanı 33,37±9,27 idi ve cinsiyetler arası fark bulunmadı (p=0,666). Temel bilimlerde uzmanlık eğitimi alanların diğer bölümlerde uzmanlık eğitimi alanlara göre, iş yükünün orta-az olanların iş yükü fazla olanlara göre, ileride akademisyenlik düşünenlerin akademisyenlik düşünmeyenlere göre, asistanlık yaptığı bölümden memnun olanların çalıştığı bölümden memnun olmayanlara göre bilimsel araştırma yapmaya yönelik kaygı düzeylerinin anlamlı düzeyde daha düşük olduğu saptandı (sırasıyla p=0,023; p
Generalized Topological Groupoids
Authors: Habil Gursoy Mustafa
Published: April 2021

Our aim in this paper is to give the notion of generalized topological groupoid which is a generalization of the topological groupoid by
using the notion of generalized topology defined by Csasz ´ ar [6]. We in- ´
vestigate the basic facts in the groupoid theory in terms of generalized
topological groupoids. We present the action of a generalized topological
groupoid on a generalized topological space. We obtain some characterizations about this concept that is called the generalized topological action. Beside these, we give definition of a generalized topological crossed
module by generalizing the concept of crossed module defined on topological groupoids. At the last part of the study, we show how a generalized
topological crossed module can be obtained from a generalized topological groupoid and how a generalized topological groupoid can be obtained
from a generalized topological crossed module.
Enfrentar las críticas

Esta respuesta a Moreno Cruz, Richter y Malecka aclara y aborda algunas objeciones a nuestro artículo “Análisis conductista del derecho penal y su aplicación: una amistosa revisión crítica”. En primer lugar, no estamos de acuerdo con el hábil intento de Moreno Cruz de demostrar que la tensión entre la teoría del derecho penal tradicional y el análisis económico-conductista del derecho es un problema falso. Los dos descan- san en dos visiones de la naturaleza humana que están en tensión entre sí. Richter plantea la posibilidad de que usar los sesgos para aumentar la disuasión puede ser irónicamente contraproducente, ya que puede erosionar la convicción de que el derecho penal es moral. Proporcionamos razones por las cuales esta hipótesis, aunque es posible, es poco probable que sea cierta. Finalmente, damos la bienvenida a las observaciones de Malecka para examinar los efectos de la legalidad en los incentivos. Es posible que los incentivos puedan ser diferentes cuando se trata de una norma jurídica que cuando se trata de una norma social o moral. Esta preocupación debe ser examinada empíricamente.
Comentarios sobre la Teoría de las contraintes jurídicas
Authors: Millard Eric
Published: April 2021

El conjunto de tesis que ha sido denominado Théorie des contraintes juridiques, se ha desarrollado, desde hace unos veinte años, en el marco del Centre de Théorie et Analyse du Droit de la Universidad de París-Nanterre, Francia, a partir de la obra de Michel Troper, Véronique Champeil-Desplats y Christophe Grzegorczyk. El libro aquí comentado es una expresión de ese trabajo colectivo. En la primera parte de este texto realizaré una presentación de las tesis defendidas por los promotores de la Teoría. Así, me referiré al marco epistemológico en el cual se inserta, luego propondré una definición más precisa y una tipología posible de las contraintes. En la segunda parte, realizaré observaciones críticas e introduciré algunas consideraciones propias. Por un lado, me detendré en la dificultad de la Teoría para dar cuenta de la regularidad en las decisiones judiciales y, por otro lado, me referiré a la necesidad de abordar la cuestión de la argumentación jurídica usando una noción de contrainte diferente a la que propone la Teoría
Sobre la solución coherente de casos jurídicos
Authors: Scavuzzo Natalia
Published: April 2021

Este trabajo consiste en un balance de la discusión presentada en Discusiones X acerca de “Diez tesis sobre la coherencia en el derecho” de Amalia Amaya. En primer lugar, se expone brevemente la teoría de la coherencia propuesta por Amaya y se indaga en forma crítica respecto del concepto de coherencia que la autora propone. Seguidamente se analiza cómo se relaciona el modelo de la coherencia con la discrecionalidad en la solución de casos jurídicos, cómo se conjuga un concepto de coherencia formal con el razonamiento no instrumental y qué perplejidades derivan del enfoque filosófico naturalista adoptado por Amaya. Por último, se argumenta que el modelo de la explicación y de la justificación coherentista debe explicitar el punto de vista relevante desde el cual se coherentiza
