Authors: Suskic Amer , Opric Dejan , Suskic Sanela Halilovic , Nikolic Gorana , Filipovic Isidora , Fazlic Alina
Published: April 2020

Background: Hysteroscopy is the process of viewing and operating in the endometrial cavity from a transcervical approach. A camera is commonly attached to the proximal end of the hysteroscope to broadcast the image onto a large video screen. The development of hysteroscopy is rooted in the work of Pantaleoni, who first reported uterine endoscopy in 1869. However, at that time, instrumentation was elementary, and expansion of the uterine cavity was insufficient. In 1925, Rubin first used CO2 to distend the uterus. The use of liquid distention media became routine by the 1980s, and many new hysteroscopic procedures, including endometrial ablation, were developed.Methods: This was a retrospective study which presents the results of hysteroscopic treatment of various gynecological diseases in Cantonal hospital Travnik, Bosnia and Herzegovina in the period from 2011 to 2019. Total 175 cases were enrolled. All underwent hysteroscopic surgery in general anesthesia. The results were statistically analyzed.Results: Total number of patients is 175. The incidence is highest in the age 31-50 years (62%). Endometrial polyp is the most common pathological condition in 80%, myoma submucosum in 5,7%, and septum uteri 2,8%. The most common treatment was polypectomy 80%, then resection of submucosal myoma 5,7%, and extraction of IUD 4%.Conclusions: Hysteroscopy involves a minimal damage to body tissues. It is safer than open surgery. Hysteroscopic treatment has contributed to faster treatment, faster recovery and reducing the cost of treatment, and thus raise the level of efficiency.
The role of behavior change communication on knowledge and uptake of postpartum contraception among antenatal mothers in Puducherry: a randomized controlled trial
Authors: Chauhan Neelima S. , Mathew Agnes
Published: April 2020

Background: India accounts for world's 17.5 percent population and is the second most populous country in the world next only to China (19.4%). Birth control pills, condoms, sterilization, IUD (intrauterine device) etc. are most commonly practiced family planning methods in India. The latest NFHS shows that 77% of sterilized women did not use a family planning method. Despite of family welfare program having a target free approach, the program has not been successful in educating people about the concept and advantages of contraceptive methods for spacing births.Methods: This randomized controlled trial was carried out in the department of obstetrics and gynecology of Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences (PIMS), Puducherry. All antenatal mothers >28 weeks of gestational age were enrolled and given a semi-structured questionnaire. After randomization intervention was done in the form of counselling and distribution of pamphlets for future use. The women were followed in the postnatal period and 6 weeks later.Results: A total of 280 subjects were enrolled in this study. Socio-demographic characteristics were similar in both the study groups. Majority of women in both the comparison and intervention group were in the age group 20-25 years (43.6%). Very few participants (20.0%) had used some form of contraception to delay pregnancy. However, the postpartum follow-up of the study participants revealed significant increase in the knowledge on the various contraceptive methods in the intervention group compared with the comparison group.Conclusions: The implementation of behaviour change communication strategy to communicate the benefits of uptake of postpartum contraception to antenatal mothers, is vital in improving the acceptability of family planning programs in India.

Authors: Bharti Shikha , Dewan Rupali
Published: April 2020

Background: Postmenopausal bleeding (PMB) is a common problem representing 5% of all gynaecological outpatient attendance. Objective of this study was to determine diagnostic performance of saline infusion sonography and hysteroscopy for evaluation of endometrial lesions in postmenopausal bleeding.Methods: Being a prospective cross-sectional study, the present study was conducted on 46 postmenopausal women with bleeding, admitted to department of obstetrics and gynecology VMMC and Safdarjang Hospital, New Delhi, India. After TVS, all patients with ET >4 mm underwent SIS and then scheduled for hysteroscopy when there was no active bleeding. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were calculated to compare the diagnostic accuracy of SIS and hysteroscopy.Results: Most commonly found endometrial lesions were polyp (39.13%) and endometrial hyperplasia (28.26%) among our study population consisting of 46 postmenopausal women (mean age 56.72±6.6 years). Overall sensitivity rates were 86.84% for SIS and 97.37% for hysteroscopy, while the overall specificity rates were 50% for both SIS and hysteroscopy. Hysteroscopy had PPV and NPV of 90.24% and 80% respectively whereas PPV and NPV were 89.19% and 44.44% for SIS.Conclusions: As an easy to perform, safe and well tolerated procedure yielding high diagnostic accuracy, SIS seems to be comparable to hysteroscopy for endometrial evaluation.

Published: April 2020

The malignant degeneration of mature ovarian teratomas is a rare phenomenon. Case reported two cases of squamous cell carcinoma developed on mature teratoma of the ovary in patients aged 54 and 41 who were seen for chronic pelvic pain. Their pelvic ultrasound showed cystic double-component images with sizes of 103 and 95 mm respectively suggestive of dermoid cysts, and the anatomopathological study of the pieces of adnexectomy confirmed the diagnosis. Although no clinical, radiological or biological signs are specific, ovarian dermal cyst degeneration is suspected in the presence of a large dermoid cyst in a postmenopausal or peri-menopausal woman. The careful anatomo-pathological study of the cyst in this case makes it possible to pose the diagnosis of certainty. A rare complication of the dermoid cyst, its prognosis is pejorative and depends mainly on its clinical stage at the time of diagnosis and the quality of its surgical treatment which must be as radical as possible.

Published: April 2020

It is very rare to have a lymphomatous involvement of ovary. Malignant lymphoma of ovary is a well-known late manifestation of disseminated nodal disease. Primary ovarian lymphoma with ovarian mass as an initial manifestation is a rare entity and may have varied presentations which can cause confusion to the physician and cause delay in diagnosis. Study presents a case of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma where the initial presentation was fever with weight loss, and was evaluated as pyrexia of unknown origin. When no other cause of fever was identified PET-CT was done showing metabolically active uterine mass with no lymphadenopathy. Exploratory laparotomy was planned followed by hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo ophorectomy with omentectomy. Ovarian malignancy was detected intraoperatively, which was diagnosed as diffuse large B cell lymphoma, NHL double expresser phenotype on histopathology and IHC. Patient was started on chemotherapy and is doing fine.

Published: April 2020

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the classification of edible vegetable oils, examining authenticity and in detecting possible adulteration of high quality, expensive extra virgin olive oils with low-cost edible oils. Classical methods such as gas chromatography, liquid chromatography, Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, and Raman spectroscopy have been widely applied to examine the authenticity of edible oils. De-spite of their high sensitivity and accuracy, these methods are significantly expensive for daily life testing, especially in resource-poor regions. Furthermore, they are time-consuming as samples have to be analyzed in dedicated laboratories. In this paper, we propose a compact, low-cost, port-able smartphone-based spectrometer for testing edible oil authenticity. Using simple laboratory op-tical components and a smartphone, we developed a compact spectrometer which can function in the wavelength range of 400–700 nm with the spectrum/pixel resolution of 0.334 nm / pixel. The images captured by the smartphone were converted into intensity distribution plots versus wave-length. As a proof of concept, the smartphone based spectrometer was utilized to measure the variations in fluorescent intensity of the mixed oils of expensive extra virgin olive oil and low-cost rice oil with different percentages. The results obtained the spectrometer were in good agreement with that from a laboratory spectrometer, thus, confirmed its adequate sensitivity and accuracy. Due to the cost effectiveness, the adequate sensitivity, and the portability, the smartphone based spectrometer can be applied in numerous applications such as in-field testing, lifestyle monitoring, and home diagnostics.

An approach is presented that allows to choose the facilities of geoengineering protection of accumulated environmental damage. This approach is based on taking into account the peculiarities of the hydrogeological, hydrological, geomorphological situation of territories where the objects are located, as well as their ranking depending on the environmental burden. A practical example of arrangement of a large storage of hazardous waste of the chemical industry is considered. Such protection with a perimeter waterproofing curtains combines the anti-filtration functions, bank protection and strengthening the bearing capacity of soils. For the first time, a curtain based on soil-cement piles was used as alternative to the well-known sheet pile technologies to protect the geological environment and watercourse during lateral filtration of contaminants of slurry body.

Es necesario tener en cuenta la sexualidad, cuando se va a dar un cuidado de salud integral a la mujer sometida a una mastectomía o histerectomía, a partir del holón erótico y de vinculación afectiva interpersonal, especialmente en la relación de pareja, siendo éste el objeto de esta investigación. Para ella se empleó el método cualitativo de enfoque etnográfico; participaron 27 mujeres, con vida de pareja activa y un año de haber sido sometidas a la cirugía. Se presentó una alteración en el holón erótico del cual surgen cuatro subcategorías: manifestación biológica, mutilación, componente mental y elaboración de la pérdida. Del holón de la vinculación afectiva interpersonal surgen dos subcategorías: satisfacción del deseo del otro y el afecto. Se dieron dos categorías emergentes: el significante de la matriz y el de la menstruación; hay una disminución de la libido y una pérdida de símbolos de feminidad, lo que las llevó a una elaboración de duelo por la pérdida corporal.

Authors: Cortés Y Hernán , Ocampo T Iván , Villegas P. Alberto
Published: April 2020

INTRODUCCION: En 1997 la Asociación Americana de Diabetes (ADA), recomendó cambiar los criterios de tamización y diagnóstico para la diabetes gestacional, no tamizando a las pacientes de bajo riesgo y adoptando para el diagnóstico los criterios de Carpenter y Coustan.En nuestro medio no conocemos la incidencia de la diabetes, ni los niveles de riesgo.MÉTODOS: Se realizó una descripción prospectiva de pacientes gestantes que realizaron control prenatal de agosto de 1999 a julio de 2000, en el CAA central del ISS de la ciudad de Medellín; a todas estas se les realizó la prueba tamiz (prueba de O'Sullivan) entre las semanas 24-28 de la gestación y la prueba oral de tolerancia a las que lo requirieron.Se realizó una encuesta telefónica luego del parto para obtener los datos del resultado materno y neonatal.RESULTADOS: Se evaluaron 1726 pacientes de manera consecutiva, encontrando una prevalencia de diabetes gestacional de 1.43%, la cual aumentó a 2.03% cuando se aplicaron los nuevos criterios.Se determinó el valor predictivo positivo de la prueba tamiz, demostrando que no es diagnóstica con ningún valor.En cuanto al resultado neonatal el 20.5% de los bebés presentaron macrosomía, 13% en el grupo que cumplió los criterios de la NDDG y de 40% en los que cumplieron los de la ADA.CONCLUSIONES: En este grupo de pacientes se encontró una prevalencia baja de diabetes gestacional en comparación a poblaciones de otras regiones, no se logró demostrar que el adoptar los nuevos criterios mejore el pronóstico materno y neonatal; se deben realizar nuevos estudios que permitan una mejor selección de la población que se va a someter a la prueba tamiz para optimizar los recursos.

Актуальность исследованияопределяется необходимостью учета наиболее полной информации о химическом составе подземных вод при их подготовке для хозяйственно-питьевого использования. Ранее для бассейна Верхней Оби были получены данные преимущественно по макрокомпонентному составу, перманганатной окисляемости, биогенным элементам и содержаниям ограниченного количества микроэлементов, что не позволяло объективно оценить возможное влияние региональных факторов с токсикологическим и санитарно-токсикологическим лимитирующими признаками воздействия. Цель исследованиязаключается в оценке микроэлементного состава подземных вод эксплуатируемых горизонтов верхней гидрогеодинамической зоны в бассейне Верхней Оби (на территории Алтае-Саянской гидрогеологической складчатой областии примыкающих к ней районов Западно-Сибирского артезианского бассейна). Объекты: подземные воды, используемые для питьевого водоснабжения в бассейне Верхней Оби (территории Республики Алтай, Алтайского края, Новосибирской, Кемеровской и Томской областей). Методы: современные методы определения химического состава подземных вод, включая: в 2019 г. – масс-спектрометрический метод с индуктивно связанной плазмой (ICP MS); в 1998 г. – нейтронно-активационный анализ; статистические методы. Результаты. Выполнен анализ химического состава подземных вод, используемых для хозяйственно-питьевого водоснабжения в бассейне Верхней Оби. Полученные результатыпозволяют существенно расширить представление о микроэлементном составе подземных вод рассматриваемой территории. Показано, что уровень содержания большинства изученных микроэлементов меньше установленных в Российской Федерации нормативов качества. Однако показатель аддитивного воздействия (сумма отношений фактических и предельно-допустимых концентраций веществ 1–2 классов опасности SС1-2/ПДК) часто больше единицы, что указывает на потенциальное токсичное воздействие на здоровье при использовании подземных вод без соответствующей водоподготовки. Наиболее высокиезначения SС1–2/ПДК (более 5) отмечены для подземных вод в Алтайском крае и Республике Алтай, в селах Хабазино, Онгудай и Тальменка (водосборы притоков Оби – рек Алей, Катунь и Чумыш, соответственно). С учетом установленных рудопроявлений и характера концентрирования в подземных водах региона парагенетических ассоциаций химических элементовсделано предположение о существенном вкладе природных факторов в формирование наблюдаемого уровня содержания многих микроэлементов.

Актуальность работы обусловлена экологическими рисками в связи с техногенным растеплением многолетнемерзлых грунтов в местах складирования отходов горно-добывающих предприятий в условиях Крайнего Севера. Цель: анализ мирового опыта по проблемам деградации мерзлоты, развития фильтрационных каналов в трещиноватых тектонических зонах, влекущих утечки оборотных вод из хвостохранилищ горно-обогатительных предприятий, и поиску технологических решений, направленных на снижение фильтрационного потока и предотвращение экологических проблем. Методы: ретроспективный анализ публикаций, отобранных в результате поиска в отечественных и международных библиографических базах данных, включая реферативный журнал ВИНИТИ РАН, Российский индекс научного цитирования и библиографический указатель Scopus компании Elsevier, с 2000 г. по настоящее время. Результаты. Контроль и предотвращение фильтрации вод через плотины хвостохранилищ горно-обогатительных предприятий и прилегающий горный массив в условиях вечной мерзлоты осуществляется преимущественно при помощи мероприятий по управлению температурным режимом грунтов, сооружению противофильтрационных экранов и завес, использования тампонажных технологий. Основные освещенные в литературе методы тампонажа включают использование растворов на основе портландцемента, облегчающих добавок (алюмосиликатные микросферы), расширяющего компонента и жидкости затворения (раствор хлористого кальция); тампонажных смесей на основе гипса, бруситового каустического порошка, сернокислого магния, торфа. Перспективным направлением в разработке противофильтрационных мероприятий на предприятиях, расположенных в районах Севера и вечной мерзлоты, является использование криогелей, создающих завесу, которая упрочняется при замораживании и оттаивании. Анализ публикаций за период с 2000 г. по настоящее время показал, что несмотря на актуальность проблемы утечек фильтрационных вод на хвостохранилищах горнодобывающих предприятий, отмечается ограниченность опубликованных разработок и недостаток технической литературы по этому направлению.

Актуальность исследования. Процесс эмульгирования широко распространён в промышленности как при первичной обработке углеводородов, так на конечных стадиях получения товарных продуктов. Особый интерес вызывает организация процесса непрерывного получения стабильных эмульсий в аппаратах проточного типа перед непосредственным их применением. Такой подход существенно снижает величину отклоненияконцентрации смеси от заданных значений, вызванную отстаиванием. Также переход от аппаратов периодического действия к аппаратам непрерывного действия позволяет сократить габариты и металлоемкость оборудования при крупнотоннажном производстве, что в свою очередь облегчает транспортировку, снижает затраты на монтаж и ремонт. Одним из наиболее прогрессивных методов повышения эффективности эмульгирования является проведение процесса в условиях воздействия механических колебаний ультразвукового диапазона частот. Цель: установить влияние параметров неоднородной системы на интенсивность эмульгирования при комплексном воздействии механического перемешивания и ультразвуковых колебаний. Методы: аналитический обзор результатов исследований ультразвукового эмульгирования неоднородных систем, аналитическое исследование распространения колебаний ультразвукового диапазона через слой двухфазной эмульсии, экспериментальное исследование процесса эмульгирования несмешивающихся жидкостей при механическом перемешивании в поле действия ультразвуковых колебаний. Результаты. Рассмотрен процесс эмульгирования в условиях механического перемешивания и воздействия волн ультразвукового диапазона. Аналитическим путем определена зависимость интенсивности эмульгирования от физико-химических свойств жидкостей, состава смеси и высоты слоя эмульсии. Выявлено, что появление зон с резонансными механическими колебаниями для наибольшей эффективности диспергирования наблюдается при условии, что расстояние между источником ультразвука и свободной поверхностью жидкости равно целому числу длин полуволн механическихколебаний в эмульсии. Полученные зависимости проверены экспериментальным путем при эмульгировании смеси «дизельное топливо–вода». Оценка качества эмульсии проводилась визуально по наличию сплошных однородных зон в объеме рассматриваемой системы, а такжепо размеру частиц дисперсной фазы, на фотографиях, полученных с помощью микроскопа.

This study aims to improve the attitudes of preservice Social Studies teachers towards Mathematics by means of creative drama method. The study comprised a mixed method integrating both qualitative and quantitative research methods. The quantitative method of this research involved experimental pretest-posttest research design with no control groups. As for the qualitative method of the study, phenomenological research design was used. The study group of this research was formed through purposeful and convenience sampling method used in the mixed method research. Accordingly, the study group of this research consisted of 20 preservice teachers from among the last year students studying at Akdeniz University Faculty of Education Department of Social Studies in the 2017-2018 Academic Year, who volunteered to take part in the research and who thought and stated that they had prejudices against mathematics and geometry lessons. The quantitative data of the research were collected through Mathematics Attitude Scale developed by Aşkar (1999) and Geometry Attitude Scale developed by Bindak (2004), after having obtained the necessary permissions. The collected quantitative data were analyzed with SPSS program. The qualitative data of the research, on the other hand, were collected through the evaluation of written documents received from the study group before and after the practices as well as of written documents received at the end of the 14th workshop. The collected qualitative data were analyzed with descriptive analysis and content analysis. In view of the overall research results, it would be safe to say that positive changes were observed in the attitudes of the study group -consisting of preservice Social Studies teachers- towards mathematics thanks to the use of creative drama method.

Published: April 2020

Este artigo tem como objetivo discutir as estratégias comunicacionais a que recorrem os indivíduos na formulação e na exposição de suas opiniões sobre temas polêmicos, com vistas ao convencimento de seus interlocutores. Situa-se, assim, ao lado da corrente deliberacionista que defende que a chamada “força do melhor argumento” é concepção excludente que acaba por silenciar determinados grupos e propõe que outras formas de comunicação, além da argumentação racional, sejam levadas em conta nos processos deliberativos, permitindo que públicos diferentes discursem a partir dos modos que são mais permeáveis a eles. Neste momento, como tema polêmico, optou-se pela discussão em torno da lei do feminicídio na fanpage do Senado Federal no Facebook. Foram analisados 915 comentários de 17 posts publicados em seis anos. Como resultado, notou-se uma tendência dos usuários emitirem opiniões baseadas em suas próprias percepções sobre o assunto, de forma individual. No campo do debate, predominam réplicas com opiniões divergentes.

Insulin resistance is a condition in which target organs fail to respond normally to insulin. Cassava contains 9,69 percent starch that resist to digestive enzyme in intestine and has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity and enhance β cell function. The aim of this study was to analyze the difference effect of native cassava starch and cassava resistant starch consumption on insulin resistance and β cell function indexes. This study was quasy experimental research with post-test only control group design using 16 male wistar strain rats divided into four groups: K1 (normal rats with standard diet), K2 (diabetic rats with standard diet), P1 (diabetic rats with native cassava starch diet) and P2 (diabetic rats with cassava resistant starch diet). The rats were fed with high fat diet and injected with low-dose streptozotocin to mimic the patogenesis of type 2 diabetes. The rats were then fed with assigned diet for 28 days. The data collection was obtained from laboratory examination of fasting plasma glucose and fasting plasma insulin to determine HOMA-IR and HOMA-B indexes. Post Hoc analysis showed no difference in both indexes between native cassava starch and cassava resistant starch fed groups (p>0,05).

Treadmill is a physical exercise that caused a metabolic transition from aerobic into anaerobic. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of sodium bicarbonate to reduce fatigue and muscle pain after treadmill. This study used a time-series design with 20 selected samples from undergraduate student population of the Faculty of Medicine, Jember University. Samples consumed 100mg/kgBW NaCl (placebo) and NaHCO3 300mg/kgBW then perform a treadmil protocol until it reached maximum muscle fatigue. The results showed that the average treadmill of the treatment group (778,1±121,21 seconds) was longer than control group (717,7±93,02 seconds). The intensity of acute pain as measured by VAS (Visual Analog Scale) treatment group was lower (44,7±22,47 units) than control (55,4±19,97 units). So this study inferred that NaHCO3 can reduce fatigue and acute pain intensity after treadmill.

Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) plays an important role in regulating the degradation and deposition extracellular matrix (ECM) that are important for wound reepithelization. However, excessive protease activity can lead to delayed wound healing. Kaemferol in spinach can inhibit the activity of MMP-9. Chitosan and collagen can help tissue growth and have an antimicrobial effect. Chitosan-collagen membranes have been widely used for wound healing but, the results are unsatisfactory. Therefore, the researcher wanted to know the activity of bakiko (Spinach-Chitosan-Collagen) membrane to MMP-9 expression on second degree burn with immunohistochemical method. This research was true-experimental laboratories design with post test only control group design. The experimental animals used were 36 white wistar rats (Rattus novergicus) male, divided into 4 groups ie control group, negative control, positive control (bioplacenton), and treatment (bakiko membrane). Data were obtained by calculating MMP-9 using ImageJ software. The analysis using anova test showed that p value less than 0.05 indicated a significant difference. This study showed that there was a decrease in MMP-9 activity by bakiko membrane in grade II burn with immunohistochemical method in wistar rats.

İnsanoğlu,
yeryüzü macerasında iletişim kurduğu unsurlarla ilgili duygu ve düşüncelerini
farklı araçlarla dile getirir. Bunlardan birisi de hiç kuşkusuz edebiyattır.
Edebî metinlerde insanların acılarını, sevinçlerini, korkularını, kısacası
hayata dair tüm duygu ve düşüncelerini görmek mümkündür. Bu edebî metinlerden
birisi belki de en önemlisi fıkralardır. Fıkralar,
kısa ve özlü anlatımı olan nükteli ve güldürücü hikâyelerdir. Az sözle çok şey ifade
etme ve sezdirerek anlatma, fıkraların belirgin özellikleri arasındadır. Edebiyat
ile doğrudan veya dolaylı olarak ilgilenen kişilerin yazmış derlemiş oldukları
mecmualar, birçok yönden edebiyat ve tarih, hatta insanlığın tüm kültürel birikimleri
hakkında önemli bilgiler ihtiva ederler. Mecmualarda manzum veya mensur birçok sanat
özellikli metne rastlamak mümkündür. Klâsik Türk edebiyatında 17. yüzyılın ikinci
yarısı ile 18. yüzyılın ilk çeyreğinde yaşamış olan Nigînî Mehmed Çelebî’nin kendi
hattıyla yazdığı derleme eseri, birçok yönden önemli bir eserdir. Bu mecmuada Türk
Edebiyatındaki mizah geleneği bağlamında değerlendirilen latifeler/fıkralar da
önemli bir yer tutar. Mecmuada
“mutâyebe” başlığı altında verilen yetmiş üç latife/mizâhî anlatım/fıkra
vardır. Fıkraların tamamı mensurdur. Bu
çalışmada Nigînî Mehmed Çelebî’nin mecmuasında geçen fıkraların tasnifi
üzerinde durulmuştur.
MUSA YAKUB ŞİİRLERİNDE TOPRAĞIN KİMLİKSEL DÖNÜŞÜMÜ: VATAN
Authors: DEVECİ Mutlu , KILINÇ Ahmet
Published: April 2020

Vatan, değerlerle bir bütünlük oluşturan, toprağın ve insanın kaynaşırken kendini yeniden tanımladığı ve asıl anlamını kazandığı yerdir. Toprak, her türlü değişim ve dönüşümün sihirli gücünü uhdesinde barındıran üretken bir öz’e sahiptir. Üretken bir varlık olan toprağın kimliksel değişim ve dönüşüm yaşayarak vatan olma niteliği kazanması, uzun ve birikimli bir süreç sonucunda gerçekleşir. Bu süreç; içinde özgürlük, ideoloji, savunma, barınma, inşa etme gibi birçok bütünleyici unsurla desteklenir. Kendisinden önce şekillenmiş bir değerler dizgesinin içine doğan insan, ismini ve kimliğini var olduğu vatanla alır. Kişinin kimlik kazanmasında ve aidiyet hissi yaşamasında en önemli paya sahip olan vatan, bu bakımlardan bütün kolektif bilinç unsurlarını içinde barındırır. Azerbaycanlı şair Musa Yakub, toprağın vatan niteliği kazanmasından ön plana çıkan bileşenleri ve sevgisini coşkun bir lirizmle ifade eder. Vatan sevgisini edebî ortama taşıyan Musa Yakub, bir anlamda bu sevginin mevcut ve gelecek nesillere aktarımını üstlenen sözcü konumundadır. Vatanı kendi gönlünde ve ruhunda içselleştiren şair için, önemli olan vatan mefkûresidir. Yakub, vatanla kaderi bağdaştırarak manevi bir zemin oluşturur; vatana, toprağa ve bayrağa olan sevgisini şiirlerine taşırken edebiyatın söylem gücünü etkili biçimde kullanmaya çalışır.
Conodont deformation in the Naux limestone (Ardennes, France)
Authors: SINTUBIN Manuel , HELSEN Stefan
Published: April 2020

To date conodont deformation has rarely been applied in a quantitative strain analysis. Using the exceptional collection of deformed Pa (Platform) elements of Ozarkodina remscheidensis remscheidensis (Ziegler, 1960), sampled - without information about their in situ orientation - in the Gedinnian Naux Limestone (Ardenne, France), an attempt is made to use deformed conodont elements as strain markers. Preliminary results show that the strain, suffered by these conodont elements, is relatively low compared to strains measured in the adjacent pelitic and conglomeratic formations. Several deformation patterns can be recognised, indicating shortening or angular shear deformation. However, the applicability of deformed conodont elements as quantitative strain markers remains still to be proven, due mainly to the problem of determining their in situ orientation.
ANALYSIS OF INDONESIAN TRADE: CASE STUDY AFTER THE AFTA AGREEMENT
Authors: Poetra Ronald Pratama
Published: April 2020

The ASEAN Free Trade Area (AFTA) began in 1993. The hope of this agreement was that intra-ASEAN trade to grow rapidly turned out to be slow. Based on data from the ASEAN Secretariat in 2016, intra-ASEAN trade experienced a slow journey in the range of 20-24 percent over the past few years. This study empirically analyzed the influence of AFTA on Indonesia's trade structure towards ASEAN using TSI, GL / IIT, and CTB index. In the period of 2012-2017 Indonesia's trade balance against ASEAN suffered a loss. Despite the loss, there was a decrease in trade balance losses from 2015-2017 (after AFTA). To analyze trade there are 10 commodity classifications determined by SITC revision 3. Based on the results of the TSI analysis, there is a specialization of 6 commodities trading which have high export power. The CTB analysis is only commodities of Chemicals and related products, n.e.s, which contribute positively to Indonesian trade. For IIT analysis there are 4 commodities where the average IIT index increases after the AFTA agreement.Keywords: ASEAN, Trade, AFTA, IIT, TSI, CTBJEL Classification: F180, F140, F130

The low quality of education in MAS Al-Hikmah Soe shows that teachers are still lacking in the ability to develop teaching materials due to lack of training. Therefore, this program aims to develop teaching materials based on the local wisdom of the Timorese. In this community service, using a dialogical method that is carried out with training directly to the teachers and students. The result is (1) the teacher's response in this activity has a strong effect on their ability to develop teaching materials based on local wisdom, because they did not realize and know that the values of local wisdom can be used as material to develop teaching materials, but after participating in training they realize that teaching material is not difficult, because there are many around us that can be used as teaching material. (2) The teacher's paradigm for smartphones has changed after attending this training, because they consider smartphones to be dangerous to students, but after attending this training they realize that smartphones are the future of human civilization that cannot be resisted, precisely the applications in them can be used as online learning media.

La rumiación se considera un marcador estable de la aparición de la depresión, la recurrencia de episodios depresivos y el mantenimiento del afecto negativo. A pesar de su importancia clínica, esta cuestión no es abordada en profundidad en población infantil. Entre los factores relacionados con la falta de estudios, se encuentra la escasez de instrumentos para evaluar estas variables en niños. Por este motivo, este trabajo se propuso traducir la Escala de Estilos de Respuesta para Niños de Ziegert y Kistner (CRSS, 2002), adaptarla en población infantil con desarrollo típico de Argentina (Escala de Estilos de Respuesta en Niños-Argentina, EERN-A) y analizar sus propiedades psicométricas. Para ello, se evaluó a 434 niños argentinos de 8 a 12 años de edad y se analizó la estructura factorial de la escala y su confiabilidad. También se evaluó la validez concurrente del instrumento mediante su asociación con otras medidas de rumiación y distracción, y su validez convergente con medidas teóricamente relacionadas (ansiedad y depresión). Los resultados apoyan la multidimensionalidad e independencia de la rumiación y la distracción. Asimismo, las subescalas muestran relaciones con variables relacionadas, así como una adecuada estructura interna y fiabilidad. De este modo, este estudio supone un aporte para la evaluación de los estilos de respuestas en población infantil, debido a que permite contar con un instrumento válido para la evaluación de la rumiación y la distracción en niños

Published: April 2020

Los procesos cognitivos medidos mediante la prueba WISC-IV que con más frecuencia se han relacionado con el TDAH son la memoria de trabajo y la velocidad de procesamiento. Sin embargo, existe controversia sobre la existencia de un perfil cognitivo para el TDAH según su presentación sea inatenta o combinada. El primer objetivo fue corroborar si existen para nuestra muestra correlaciones entre el perfil cognitivo obtenido a través del WISC-IV. El segundo, discernir entre las diferentes presentaciones clínicas. Para ello se seleccionó un grupo control compuesto por 31 sujetos y otro clínico compuesto por 95 sujetos diagnosticados de TDAH. En comparación con el grupo control, el grupo clínico presentó resultados significativamente más bajos en los índices coeficiente intelectual total, memoria de trabajo y velocidad de procesamiento. Por otra parte, el grupo clínico presentó puntuaciones en el índice de capacidad general significativamente superior a las del índice de competencia cognitiva
