E-reçete ve e-reçete sistemleri
Authors: Özkan Okan , Kalender Selin
Published: September 2024

Hastanelerde yatarak tedavi gören hastaların en yaygın zarar görme nedeni ilaç hatalarıdır. İlaç hataları tıbbi hataların en yaygın nedenidir. İlaç hataları olumsuz ilaç olaylarının (advers drug events-ADE) yaşanmasına neden olabilir. ADE’lerin ölüm ve kalıcı engellilik gibi geri dönüşü olmayan sonuçları bulunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte bu durum genellikle önlenebilir niteliktedir. ADE’lere neden olan ilaç hataları en sık reçete yazma aşamasında meydana gelmektedir. Bir ilacın yanlış reçete edilmesi ya da yanlış yolla verilmesi nedeni ile her yıl binlerce kişi hayatını kaybetmektedir. Bu gibi sonuçlarla karşılaşılmaması için reçete yazma süreçlerinin elektronik olarak kontrol altına alınması gerekmektedir. Bu süreçte meydana gelebilecek ilaç hatalarının engellemesi, azaltılması ve ortadan kaldırılması amacıyla elektronik reçete (e-reçete) sistemleri yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı e-reçete konusu detaylı olarak ele almaktır. Çalışmada e-reçetenin tanımına, e-reçete sisteminin kullanıldığı ülkelere, potansiyel faydalarına, olası zararlarına, zorluklarına ve literatürde e-reçete konusuna ilişkin yapılan çalışmalara yer verilmiştir. Çalışmada e-reçete sistemlerinin mevcut ve potansiyel çok sayıda faydasının olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte sistemlerin kullanımının çeşitli riskleri olduğu belirlenmiştir. E-reçetelerin hastanelerde ilaç ve hasta güvenliği başta olmak üzere iş akış süreçlerini nasıl etkilediğine dair kapsamlı bir anlayış geliştirilmesine ihtiyaç olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Bu durumda hemşirelerin destek kaynakları daha önemli hale geldi. Bu araştırmanın amacı, COVID-19 sürecinde Türkiye’deki hemşirelerin aile destek düzeylerinin işten ayrılma niyetleri üzerindeki etkisini incelemektir. Kesitsel türde tasarlanan bu çalışmanın evreni Türkiye’de iki ilde görev yapan hemşirelerdi. Veriler, 15 Şubat – 15 Mart 2021 tarihleri arasında, etik kurul onayı ve kurum izinleri alındıktan sonra online olarak toplandı. Veri toplama aracı olarak “Kişisel Bilgi Formu”, ve araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan “Aile Desteği Anketi” kullanıldı. Hemşirelerin aile destek düzeylerinin işten ayrılma niyetleri üzerindeki etkisi lojistik regresyon analizi ile incelendi. Araştırmaya %83’ü (n = 370) kadın olan toplam 446 hemşire katıldı. Yaş ortalamaları 30,22 ± 6,30’du. Hemşirelerin %36,8’i (n=164) COVID-19 hastalığını geçirdiğini belirtti. Hemşirelerin aile destek düzeyleri işten ayrılma niyetlerindeki varyansın %8,7’sini (Nagelkerke R2) açıkladı. Artan aile destek düzeyi işten ayrılma niyetinin azalması ile ilişkiliydi. Yaşanılan bu zorlu pandemi sürecinde hemşirelerin aile destekleri oldukça önemlidir.

Authors: Gunawan Fauzi , Tri Putri Nilda , Hasan Alizar
Published: September 2024

Sebagai produsen minyak sawit terbesar di dunia, Indonesia memiliki potensi besar dalam pemasaran minyak sawit, terutama dalam industri fraksinasi dan rafinasi. Jalur hilirisasi kelapa sawit telah dipercepat sejak 2011, melibatkan sektor oleopangan, oleokimia, dan bioenergi. Meskipun Indonesia mendominasi produksi minyak sawit dunia, fluktuasi harga CPO (Crude Palm Oil) memiliki dampak signifikan pada industri minyak goreng. Industri hilirisasi minyak sawit, terutama minyak goreng, sangat dipengaruhi oleh fluktuasi harga CPO yang tidak dapat dikendalikan oleh pelaku industri. Harga CPO yang fluktuatif dapat memengaruhi margin keuntungan dan beban produksi, memerlukan tindakan efisiensi biaya pada area-area yang dapat dikendalikan, seperti area proses produksi. Konsumen dalam industri minyak goreng kemasan mempertimbangkan tampilan, kualitas, dan harga produk, sementara efisiensi produksi dan tingkat cacat menjadi tantangan dalam menjaga daya saing. Metode Six Sigma muncul sebagai solusi untuk meningkatkan kualitas dan efisiensi proses produksi, termasuk dalam pengemasan minyak goreng. Penelitian ini mengidentifikasi perusahaan ABC sebagai studi kasus, fokus pada reduksi cacat dalam proses pengemasan. Six Sigma diimplementasikan melalui metode DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) dengan harapan meningkatkan level sigma perusahaan, yang saat ini berada pada level 2.8 sigma. Data menunjukkan bahwa selama periode 2023, persentase cacat kemasan pada lini produksi standpouch machine mencapai 9.48%, di mana 8.3% berasal dari reject selama proses pengemasan sedangkan 1.1% sisanya berasal dari reject pasca pengemasan. Implementasi Sigsixma sebagai metode improvement pada study kasus ini mampu secara efektif menurunkan reject kemasan pada proses pengemasan minyak goreng dari rerata 8,38% menjadi rerata 2,38%, dengan peningkatan nilai Sigma dari kondisi awal 2,9 ke 3.5
Trop d’eau et pas assez. Politiques publiques, rapports de force et stratégies des acteurs face à la crise de l’eau en France

Après deux inondations catastrophiques (dans la vallée de la Roya et le Pas-de-Calais) et une sécheresse historique en 2022-2023 et avec le conflit des mégabassines, la question de l’eau est devenue ces dernières années un enjeu géopolitique majeur en France, percutant les politiques publiques dans le domaine de l’agriculture (faut-il développer l’irrigation ?), de l’aménagement du territoire (comment gérer le risque inondation ?), mais aussi de l’énergie, en raison de son impact sur le système de production électrique.
Changement climatique, érosion côtière et enjeux politiques sur le littoral français métropolitain
Authors: Lacoste Jean-Philippe
Published: September 2024

Le littoral est particulièrement exposé aux effets du changement climatique. La bande littorale cumule en effet les aléas continentaux auxquels s’ajoute une accélération des phénomènes d’érosion et de submersion liés au renforcement de la fréquence des phénomènes extrêmes et aux effets de l’élévation du niveau marin.La bande côtière est de plus en plus densément peuplée, l’objet d’une intense activité touristique et d’un marché immobilier particulièrement actif et spéculatif.Après une très longue période d’immobilisme où la défense contre la mer par des ouvrages constituait la solution privilégiée par les pouvoirs publics pour assurer la stabilité du trait de côte, la philosophie évolue sensiblement vers des solutions d’adaptation et d’anticipation qui relèvent plus de l’aménagement du territoire que de l’ingénierie. Ce mouvement s’accompagne d’un transfert de responsabilité de l’État vers les collectivités locales qui doivent assurer, sans moyens particuliers, ce réaménagement du littoral et obtenir son acceptation sociale.
From the Jaws of Defeat: France, the United States and Middle East Oil, 1940-1948
Authors: Conlin Jonathan
Published: September 2024

À sa création en 1924, l’Etat français confia à la Compagnie française des Pétroles les 25% de parts de la Turkish (ensuite Iraq) Petroleum Company qu’il détenait. L’IPC, joint venture des quatre grandes entreprises pétrolières américaines et britannique, trouva du pétrole en Irak trois ans plus tard. Durant l’entre-deux-guerres, les prétentions de la France à l’indépendance pétrolière reposaient sur la CFP et sur l’accès au pétrole du Moyen-Orient que l’IPC procurait aux Français à travers l’Accord de la ligne rouge de 1928. En 1940, la défaite sembla anéantir la France comme puissance pétrolière. L’Accord de la ligne rouge tomba et la CFP perdit ses droits légitimes sur les champs pétrolifères d’Arabie saoudite. La CFP et l’Etat français firent face à cette crise énergétique à travers un mélange de diplomatie et de chantage. En s’appuyant sur des archives jusqu’ici inexploitées, cet essai pose que le résultat -le  Working Agreement  de 1948- en fut pour la France plus favorable qu’il est généralement présenté.
Introducing a large panel dataset of economy-wide real electricity prices and estimating long-run GDP and price elasticities of electricity demand for high-and middle-income panels
Authors: Liddle Brantley
Published: September 2024

Nous assemblons un ensemble particulièrement important de données sur les prix réels de l’électricité pour l’ensemble de l’économie (en cents US par kilowattheure de 2015) en pondérant d’abord les prix de l’électricité pour l’industrie et les ménages résidentiels en fonction de la consommation. Des sources supplémentaires ont été utilisées pour étendre la série de prix (i) pour 17 pays de l’OCDE de 1978 à 1960 et (ii) pour cinq économies asiatiques de 1978 à 1973. Au total, cet ensemble de données (déséquilibré) couvre la période 1960-2019 et comprend les 107 pays pour lesquels il y a au moins 10 observations ; 36 pays comptant au moins 40 observations, et 40 autres ayant au moins 20 observations. Les prix sont importants à prendre en compte lors de l’analyse de la demande d’électricité, et les données sur les prix ne sont pas aisément accessibles pour les pays non-membres de l’OCDE. Nous proposons une démonstration utilisant un modèle commun pour la demande d’énergie/d’électricité, qui suggère que l’exclusion des prix confère un biais à la hausse sur l’estimation de l’élasticité PIB/revenu de la demande d’électricité. Le fait que les données soient en prix réels (par opposition à un indice réel) signifie qu’elles sont adaptées à une analyse transversale.
Electrifying Mexico: Technology and the Transformation of a Modern City (Diana J. Montaño, 2021)
Authors: Kahle Trish
Published: September 2024

Diana J. Montaño’s Electrifying Mexico is a cultural and social history of electrification in the Mexican capital between 1880 and 1960. She adopts a user-centered approach to place ordinary people at the center of the story of electrification, showing how technological diffusion was a contested and multi-directional process. Incorporating histories of technology, gender, race, class, law, and labor—as well as a creative and varied source base—Montaño reconstructs electrification from the bottom-up and offers several methodological contributions for energy historians to build on.
Symbolic Decolonization and Postal Politics: Sovereignty, Secession and the Stamps of Pseudo-States in Sub-Saharan Africa, c.1960-1979
Authors: Baines Gary
Published: September 2024

Lorsque le Katanga se sépare du Congo en 1960, que la Rhodésie déclare unilatéralement son indépendance de la Grande-Bretagne en 1965 et que le Biafra tente de se détacher de la fédération nigériane en 1967, leur souveraineté n’est pas reconnue par la communauté internationale. La lutte de ces pseudo-États pour la souveraineté se déroule non seulement dans les sphères politique et territoriale, mais aussi sur le plan des symboles. Connue sous le nom de décolonisation symbolique (Kendrick, 2019), la création et l’adoption de nouveaux symboles nationaux tels que les drapeaux et les hymnes constituent un élément essentiel de la décolonisation dans les anciennes colonies d’Afrique subsaharienne. Dans ce domaine, la recherche en histoire a négligé le rôle des timbres. Contrairement à d’autres symboles, les timbres n’exercent un pouvoir souverain que s’ils sont acceptés par d’autres États. En imposant des sanctions postales aux pseudo-États du Katanga, du Biafra et de la Rhodésie à la demande de leurs « mères patries », l’Union postale universelle a contribué à la politisation des services postaux internationaux.
Les contrôles des finances de la Sécurité sociale et la Covid-19
Authors: Dufour Anne-Claire
Published: September 2024

Pendant la crise sanitaire et économique liée au Covid-19, les contrôles traditionnels exercés sur les finances de la Sécurité sociale ont été mobilisés mais ont dû s’adapter à l’urgence et à l’ampleur des mesures prises. Même si les contrôles exercés par le Parlement se sont souvent limités à un simple suivi de la dégradation de la situation financière de la Sécurité sociale, la crise a confirmé la pertinence des contrôles existants et a incité à leur approfondissement.
Quelques réflexions sur la TVA, la justice fiscale et la psychosociologie

La TVA est un impôt sur la consommation et donc qui relève d’un acte profondément individuel voire individualiste. Jean Dubergé n’a finalement que peu analysé la TVA dans ses travaux sur la psychosociologie. Pourtant celle-ci présente des problématiques intéressantes pour cette dernière surtout si on la met en relation avec la justice fiscale.

La véritable question qui se pose aujourd’hui, quelle que soit l’évolution de la fiscalité que l’on peut imaginer, est de donner aux collectivités locales, sinon les moyens de leur autonomie fiscale, du moins ceux de leur autonomie de gestion, de façon à être en capacité de répondre aux besoins du public.
Finances sociales et droit de l’Union européenne : une lecture par le prisme des compétences
Authors: Martucci Francesco
Published: September 2024

L’étude des liens entre le droit de l’Union européenne et les finances sociales révèle que d’un point de vue normatif les systèmes de protection sociale ne sont affectés qu’à la marge bien que dans le cadre du semestre européen une pression est exercée sur les finances publiques et les finances sociales dès lors que leur soutenabilité n’est pas garantie. L’exemple de la réforme des retraites en France montre cependant que la contrainte de l’Union européenne reste relative. D’un point de vue financier, l’Union européenne contribue à financer des dépenses sociales des États membres. Si les volumes demeurent limités, la progression de la solidarité après la crise de la Covid-19 montre que l’Europe sociale progresse par le fédéralisme économique, l’intégration économique favorisant l’intégration sociale.

Published: September 2024

We establish an exponential stability result for a wave equation that includes weighted coefficients of structural damping and a delayed term. This study reveals cases where the delayed term may not be dominated by the damping term, yet the system is exponentially stable. Our coefficients do not obey necessarily the conditions that are usually imposed in the literature.

Authors: Sun Jiaqi , Le Van Vang
Published: September 2024

It is difficult to define scientific applicability conditions when dealing with different evaluation objects and scope. This article is based on multi-source big data such as the Automatic Fare Collection System (AFC) of urban rail transit, comprehensively considering the multidimensional impact of urban rail transit on the urban transportation system, and conducting a quantitative analysis of the energy-saving and emission reduction effects of urban rail transit. This study adopts a traffic emission model based on specific driving forces and a traffic demand prediction model, coupling the model and data to establish an urban rail transit energy conservation and emission reduction evaluation model suitable for different urban rail transit setting scenarios. Finally, this study selected six districts in Beijing as model application cases and used a combination of RP (display preference) survey and SP (state preference) survey to complete model parameter calibration for application cases.

Authors: Lin Li , Li Helin , Liu Xun , Pang Shangzhen , Yuan Minglan , Liu Xibo
Published: September 2024

Cross-domain recommendation(CDR) system is a kind of recommendation system based on multiple data fields, its core idea is to integrate data from different fields, so as to provide users with more accurate and personalized recommendation services. This paper constructs a hybrid contrast learning graph agent transformer network for CDR of e-commerce. In this method, data in target domain and source domain are first constructed into a multi-part graph structure, and then data mining is carried out by double-branch graph agent transformer. The final embedding of each node in the graph is obtained by training the model through mixed supervised learning and comparative learning. This method not only increases the recommended performance of the model through comparative learning, but also improves the transformer structure through agent and reduces the calculation cost of the model. Simulation results on two real cross-domain recommendation datasets of e-commerce demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
Microbial lipases: propitious biocatalysts for various biotechnological applications
Authors: Carvalho Jéssyca
Published: September 2024

The use of microbial lipases is very important because they have a broad spectrum of catalytic reactions. Lipases catalyze reactions in aqueous and non-aqueous media and have advantages when compared to chemical catalysts, due to their specificity, enantioselectivity and stability at pH and temperature. The interest in research for microbial lipases occurs because of their applicability in various sectors and industries, such as food and beverage production, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, surfactants, dairy products, treatment of effluents containing oils and fats, biofuels, among others. Biocatalysts can be obtained by submerged fermentation (SF) or solid-state fermentation (SSF), which has advantages over SF, because it is possible to use agroindustrial waste as substrate or growth support for microorganisms, becoming an alternative to reduce production costs. SSF is a promising technology for enzyme production, because besides using low-cost substrates, the biocatalyst can be produced in a more concentrated form, facilitating its recovery from the culture medium when necessary. Thus, this paper intends to discuss and review studies on microbial lipases, with direct application of the fermented solid (SSF), focusing on the main microorganisms, substrates and supports used in SSF, applicability of lipases in several industrial sectors, besides presenting conversion results using different microorganisms or/and substrates.

Published: September 2024

Introduction:

Platysma myocutaneous flap used for intraoral reconstruction is an axial-pattern flap based on the submental branch of the facial artery; however, its vascular anatomy is complex in nature. Its efficacy in the reconstruction of oral defects following oral cancer resection is well established, even after facial artery ligation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of platysma myocutaneous flap in oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) patients.

Materials and Methods:

The study included 85 OSMF patients (Grades III and IV). Platysma myocutaneous flap was used for the reconstruction of fibrotomy defects in all patients. All patients were followed up for a period of up to one year. Mouth opening was the chief parameter evaluated intraoperatively and postoperatively. The complications such as flap dehiscence, partial skin loss, tip necrosis, haematoma and paraesthesia at the donor site were also recorded.

Results:

The mean mouth opening value (in mm) increased from 13.00 ± 1.93 and 6.50 ± 2.35 to 32.72 ± 5.19 and 31.20 ± 4.77 at the end of one year in Grade III and IV groups, respectively. A gradual improvement in pain score was noted. Only minor complications occurred in 8.2% patients. Major flap loss was not seen in our series.

Discussion:

Proper dissection plane, avoiding muscle tearing during flap elevation, maintaining adequate pedicle, creating a tunnel of sufficient width and proper intraoral flap orientation are the major factors affecting flap success rates. Our study demonstrated that the platysma myocutaneous flap is a promising and effective option for reconstructing buccal mucosa defects in OSMF patients.

Published: September 2024

Background:

The development of pediatric intensive care units (PICUs) has contributed to the improvement in the survival of critically ill children; however, the long-term functional outcome of these children is often unknown in many low-/middle-income countries including Rwanda. This study aimed to describe incidence and type of long-term functional outcomes and associated clinical characteristics among PICU survivors during a 5 years’ period (2015–2019).

Subjects and Methods:

This was a single-center, prospective observational cohort study conducted in the PICU of University Teaching Hospital in Rwanda. A Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category (PCPC) and Pediatric Overall Performance Category (POPC) scales were used to screen for long-term functional outcomes. The results were evaluated by telephone interview and statistically analyzed using logistic regression.

Results:

Out of 158 children, 53.2% had overall disability while 33.6% had some level of cognitive disability after PICU discharge. Out of 41 (2`5.9%) deaths during study period, three (7.3%) occurred during the hospital stay, while 8 (19.6%) occurred after the first year of hospital discharge. Disability screened by two scales, PCPC and PCOC, was comparable for mild (13.3% vs. 23.4%), moderate (11.4% vs. 20.3%), and severe (5.1% vs. 5.7%) categories. PICU admission for patient with at least one preadmission comorbidity had significantly greater disability at discharge (P < 0.05).

Conclusions:

Despite a high survival rate, residual functional disability is prevalent among children after discharge from the PICU in Rwanda. The presence of at least one preadmission comorbidity was independently associated with greater disability at discharge.
Don´t give up on mitochondria as a target for the treatment of diabetes and its complications
Authors: Cortés-Rojo Christian , Vargas-Vargas Manuel Alejandro
Published: September 2024

In this editorial, we discuss an article by Wang et al , focusing on the role of mitochondria in peripheral insulin resistance and insulin secretion. Despite numerous in vitro and pre-clinical studies supporting the involvement of mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress in the pathogenesis of diabetes and its complications, efforts to target mitochondria for glycemic control in diabetes using mitochondria-targeted antioxidants have produced inconsistent results. The intricate functionality of mitochondria is summarized to underscore the challenges it poses as a therapeutic target. While mitochondria-targeted antioxidants have demonstrated improvement in mitochondrial function and oxidative stress in pre-clinical diabetes models, the results regarding glycemic control have been mixed, and no studies have evaluated their hypoglycemic effects in diabetic patients. Nonetheless, pre-clinical trials have shown promising outcomes in ameliorating diabetes-related complications. Here, we review some reasons why mitochondria-targeted antioxidants may not function effectively in the context of mitochondrial dysfunction. We also highlight several alternative approaches under development that may enhance the targeting of mitochondria for diabetes treatment.
Jezikovna kulturna zavest pri pouku maternega/prvega jezika
Authors: Vogel Jerca
Published: September 2024

In the article, we discuss linguistic cultural awareness as part of broader language awareness related to the identification role of language and the cultural markedness of any linguistic action. This awareness is predominantly associated only with abstract national identity, and is developed within contemporary teaching in the framework of so-called (inter)cultural awareness rather than as an essential component of communicative competence. In order to highlight the relationship between broader language awareness and linguistic cultural awareness, we first present the traditional understanding of identity and the related language roles, as well as the limitations of such an interpretation, after which we reflect on connections between language and culture, on the various levels of linguistic cultural awareness, and on possible models of integrating linguistic cultural awareness into first language teaching.
Nomogram for predicting short-term response to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor treatment in neovascular age-related macular degeneration: An observational study
Authors: Huang Zhen-Huan , Tu Xue-Zhao , Lin Qi , Tu Mei , Lin Guo-Cai , Zhang Kai-Ping
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) therapy is critical for managing neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), but understanding factors influencing treatment efficacy is essential for optimizing patient outcomes.

AIM

To identify the risk factors affecting anti-VEGF treatment efficacy in nAMD and develop a predictive model for short-term response.

METHODS

In this study, 65 eyes of exudative AMD patients after anti-VEGF treatment for ≥ 1 mo were observed using optical coherence tomography angiography. Patients were classified into non-responders (n = 22) and responders (n = 43). Logistic regression was used to determine independent risk factors for treatment response. A predictive model was created using the Akaike Information Criterion, and its performance was assessed with the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, calibration curves, and decision curve analysis (DCA) with 500 bootstrap re-samples.

RESULTS

Multivariable logistic regression analysis identified the number of junction voxels [odds ratio = 0.997, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.993-0.999, P = 0.010] as an independent predictor of positive anti-VEGF treatment outcomes. The predictive model incorporating the fractal dimension, number of junction voxels, and longest shortest path, achieved an area under the curve of 0.753 (95%CI: 0.622-0.873). Calibration curves confirmed a high agreement between predicted and actual outcomes, and DCA validated the model's clinical utility.

CONCLUSION

The predictive model effectively forecasts 1-mo therapeutic outcomes for nAMD patients undergoing anti-VEGF therapy, enhancing personalized treatment planning.

Authors: Jiang Meng-Yuan , Wang Yuan-Xiang , Lu Zhi-Wei , Zheng Yue-Jie
Published: September 2024

BACKGROUND

Extralobar pulmonary sequestration (ELS) with torsion is extremely rare, consequently, the diagnosis of ELS with torsion in children presents a challenge for clinicians. Herein, we report four cases of ELS with torsion that presented with abdominal pain, and further review the relevant literature to summarize the clinical features.

CASE SUMMARY

Four children presented to our department with abdominal pain. All underwent chest computed tomography, which revealed an intrathoracic soft tissue mass with pleural effusion. All four children underwent thoracoscopic resection of the identified pulmonary sequestration, and the vascular pedicle was clipped and excised. None of the patients experienced any postoperative complications.

CONCLUSION

Clinicians should consider the possibility of ELS with torsion in children presenting with abdominal pain as the chief complaint.
Charles Baudelaire : intimité, modernité, identité
Authors: Swoboda Tomasz
Published: September 2024

Both a child of the century and a harsh critic of his time, Charles Baudelaire remained deeply marked by his « tyranny of intimacy » (Richard Sennett’s expression), and in a way contributed himself to its expansion, but at the same time kept a distance from the culture of intimacy that took hold with the advent of Romanticism. In our paper, we shall try to grasp the link between intimacy and modernity, to see how the tension between the two constructs both individual and collective identity. We will examine the poetùs letters, diaries and poems, both prose and verse, including two « intimate » poems from The Flowers of Evil.
UNCOVERING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN 7 STRESS FACTORS OF SV-NBJSQ INDONESIAN VERSION AND JOB STRESS ON EMPLOYEE IN GREATER JAKARTA & BANDUNG
Authors: Rabbani Ghazali Akmal , Novani Santi
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the relationship between seven stress factors identified by the Short Version-New Brief Job Stress Questionnaire (SV-NBJSQ) Indonesian version and overall job stress among employees in Greater Jakarta and Bandung. The research design is structured to systematically gather, analyze, and interpret data to address the study's research questions, which aim to identify significant stress factors and develop an objective model for calculating and categorizing stress levels. The data analysis involved two main components: calculating the Stress Index and classifying stress levels, followed by analyzing the structural relationships between the seven factors and job stress using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The research found that depression symptoms are the most significant predictor of job stress, while physical reactions, anxiety symptoms, and fatigue symptoms also showed positive but lesser correlations. Moreover, the research validated the use of the SV-NSQ in Indonesia, providing a localized tool for assessing job stress.
Typing of Mannheimia haemolytica isolates isolated from respiratory tract and investigation of virulence genes
Authors: Öztürk Cihat , Ekin İsmail Hakkı
Published: September 2024

In this study, it was aimed to determine the biochemical properties, distribution of important virulence genes of Mannheimia haemolytica isolates identified from the respiratory tracts of sick and healthy cattles and sheeps. 48 (87.3%) Mannheimia haemolytica isolates from naso-pharyngeal and trachea-bronchial swaps were identified as Mannheimia haemolytica by Real Time-PCR. According to the differences in arginine and sorbitol tests, 4 different biochemical profiles were determined in the isolates examined. Three virulence gene profiles were detected in the isolates examined by Real-Time PCR. 37.5%, 33.3%, 12.5% of the isolates examined were identified as I, III and II, respectively. While all virulence-related genes were identified in the isolates with virulence gene profile II, it was determined that there were no nmaA gene in profile I isolates and nmaA and tbpB genes in profile III isolates. At the same time, it was determined that biochemical profile II was associated with disease cases and this was related to arginine negativity. In addition, it was determined that isolates with virulence gene profile I were associated only with biochemical profile I and that this was due to arginine negativity, whereas the relationship between arginine positive isolates and virulence gene profile III was found to be significant. As a result; arginine negativity and gcp, gs60, tbpB, lktC, adh positive, nmaA negative isolates may be the epidemiological criteria that can be used to differentiate commensal and pathogen Mannheimia haemolytica isolates and new studies on the subject should be done.

Anticholinergic Evaluation, Antioxidant Effects, and DNA Protection Potential of Chenopodium spp Depending on Its Phenolic Content
Authors: Koçpınar Enver Fehim
Published: September 2024

Plants are important food sources and natural therapeutics, and they are preferred as an alternative instead of synthetic medicines with harmful side effects in the treatment of routine diseases. Their unique effects are mostly attributed to specific herbal metabolites based on soil, climatic, and biogeography. Chenopodium species growing on barren and alkaline soils with nitrogen content are important candidates for unique biological effects. Due to their acceptance as food and wild, searching the biological activities and knowing the metabolite content are important. A series of in vitro biological activity tests were performed to determine the effects of Chenopodium spp (Cspp). First, leaf and flower samples were prepared using a Soxhlet device. Antioxidant tests including radical scavenging and heavy metal reduction were performed. Their phenolic contents were determined by LC-MS/MS to better interpreting the antioxidant results. Their inhibitory effects on AChE and BChE were tested and were shown to have quite significant total inhibition effect compared to Galantamine used as standard. Finally, their DNA protective effects were evaluated. In conclusion, it has been understood that phenolic content and the other biological effects are mostly parallel, and the samples may have antioxidant effects at acceptable levels depending on dose.
