Antik ve Skolastik Dönemlerden Modernizme Batıda Belirlenimcilik Değişim ve Süreklilik Üzerine Tarihsel Bir Araştırma
Authors: ABANOZ Gökhan
Published: April 2023

Değişim ve süreklilik konusu düşünce tarihi boyunca doğa ve insan toplumuna özgü tartışmalarda bir düalist bir problem olarak varlığını sürdürmüştür. Özellikle Pre-Sokratik dönem filozoflarından Parmedines ve Herakleitos’tan itibaren felsefi tartışmaların odağında bulunan bu olgular, nihayet 19. asırda Karl Marx ile doğal olayların yanı sıra beşerî olguların en genel varoluş biçimi olarak bilimsel bir hüviyete kavuşmuştur. Bu çalışmada belirlenimcilik, değişim ve süreklilik olgularının Batı uygarlığının Antik, Skolastik ve modern çağlar özelinde siyasal, sosyal ve iktisadi yansımaları bağlamında bir süreklilik ihtiva edip etmediğini ortaya koymak amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada Skolastik dönemdeki siyasi, iktisadi ve toplumsal düzeni belirleyen feodal sistemin Antik Çağ Yunan sitelerindeki sınıfsallığın belirlenimci yapısı ile benzerlikleri ortaya konulurken Fransız İhtilali ve Sanayi Devrimi neticesinde ortaya çıkan modernite sürecinde toplumsal yaşamı yeni baştan düzenlemek için ortaya çıkan bürokratik yapı, kurumsallık, mesleki iş bölümü içindeki rollerin nedenselci ve belirlenimci yapısı açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır. Son tahlilde Antik ve Skolastik dönemlerde Batıda dikey toplumsal hiyerarşik yapıda kendini gösteren belirlenimci ve nedenselci düşüncenin modern çağda değişik pratikler içerisinde bu defa yatay bir düzlemde farklı tarihsel görüngü biçimleri şeklinde devam ettiği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Published: April 2023

The substantial economic integration coupled with the increased inflation becomes serious dilemma for developing economies. Inflation has recently emerged as the major economic issue, making it necessary to investigate the additional causes of this issue. This study revisited the age-old subject of how openness affects inflation, utilizing time-series data from 1990 to 2021 for Pakistan. Primary goal of study is to investigate Romer hypothesis and relationship between openness as well as inflation in Pakistan using Co-integration analysis. Other explanatory variables are the growth of real agriculture value added, an average annual growth rate of money, and quasi-money and openness of economy. Though openness and inflation have a positive long-run relationship, there is no evidence of a short-run relationship, refuting Romer's argument for Pakistan. Present study offered signifncant information through results and support from previous studies in reaching the conclusion about inflation and its main reasons behand. Additionally, it offers renewed perspectives on how inflation is affected by global economic integration and how it thus undesarbaly influenced the financial growth from different dimensions that further hinders sustainable development.

Published: April 2023

Esse artigo tem como base três autores com teorias diferentes sobre a constituição do Estado, mas que são o alicerce da Ciência Política que tem o Estado civil como uma construção social a partir de um contrato, ou seja, uma construção não natural. Apesar de serem contratualistas discordam em diversas questões ao longo do desenvolvimento de suas teses, contudo buscaremos abordar essas divergências, assim como, os pontos de semelhanças em suas teorias. Nesse sentido, temos em comum a perspectiva de que podemos refletir a história do homem em dois períodos diferentes: o homem no estado de natureza e o homem na sociedade civil fruto do contrato social. Os homens são por natureza, livres e iguais, mas em determinada época, devido a um conjunto de circunstância e necessidades, eles deram origem ao estado, ao serem forçados a desistir dessa liberdade e firmar entra si um acordo ou um contrato socialCOTRIN,2006).Apesar do homem ser livre, o mesmo esta acorrentado em toda parte, e não obstante, se intitula proprietário dos demais seres, não se eximindo do fato de pertencer a escravidão tanto quanto os outros( ROUSSEAU, 2012).

Suyun terapötik amaçlı kullanımı, günümüzde de kullanılan, geleneksel tedavi yöntemlerinden biridir. Balneoterapi, ilaç dışı bir yöntem olarak, kaplıca ve kür merkezleri gibi pek çok kuruluşta koruyucu, tedavi edici ve rehabilitasyon amacıyla kullanılmaktadır. Balneoterapide tedavi edici primer etki termal ve mineralli sularla yapılan uygulamalarla olmaktadır. Bununla birlikte terapötik amaçla kullanılan çamurlar (peloidler), klimatolojik etkenler, diğer balneoterapi uygulamalarının (gaz banyoları, su altı masaj, duşlar, irrigasyon, içme kürleri, inhalasyon) da iyileşmeye etkisi bulunmaktadır. Hidroterapi kelimesi Latince’den türetilmiş olup "su tedavisi" anlamına gelmektedir. Balneoterapi uygulamalarında suyun kimyasal içeriği, hidroterapide ise suyun fiziksel özellikleri ön plandadır Hem balneoterapi hem de hidroterapi ağrıyı, tutukluğu azaltmak, postürü iyileştirmek, eklem hareket açıklığını arttırmak, dolayısıyla yaşam kalitesini iyileştirmek için geleneksel ve tamamlayıcı tedavi olarak kullanılmaktadır. Günümüzde balneoterapi ve hidroterapi yaygınlaşmakta ve bu da uygulanma oranını arttırmaktadır. Balneoterapi ve hidroterapi kullanım ve uygulamalarında eksiklikler ve yanlış yaklaşımlar olabilmektedir. Ancak, bu tedavilerin, gösterilen klinik ve semptomatik yararlarına rağmen, altında yatan biyolojik mekanizmalar henüz tam olarak açıklanamadığı için, modern tıptaki yeri hala tartışmalıdır. Bu nedenle balneoterapi ve hidroterapi tedavileri ilgili tıp uzmanlık dallarının tavsiye ve gözetiminde yapılmalı, yine fayda ve zararları açısından tıbbi değerlendirmelere göre karar verilmelidir.

Published: April 2023

Yaya yolu planlaması genellikle mevcut yaya hareketlerinin yoğunlaştığı bölgelerde ele alınmakta ya da arazi kullanım çekiciliği yüksek olan tesislere erişebilmek kapsamında ele alınmaktadır. Ana akslarının belirlenmesi, yaya ağının ortaya çıkmasında temel omurganın belirlenmesi anlamına gelmektedir. Ana akslar belirlenirken, arazi kullanım çekiciliği olan unsurlara veya sadece yoğun kentsel hareket içeren merkeze odaklanmak her zaman doğru sonuç vermeyebilir. Bunun yerine, kentsel ulaşım alışkanlıklarının/taleplerinin ön plana konulması tercih edilebilir. Böylece diğer ulaşım türlerinden yaya türüne geçişler daha fazla teşvik edilebilir. Yaya akslarının, ev-iş ve ev-okul talepleri doğrultusunda belirlenmesi veya başka ulaşım türleri yerine tercih edilebilecek kadar sosyal/fiziki altyapı olanakları ile donatılması/güçlendirilmesi, ulaşım türleri arasındaki geçişleri teşvik edecektir. Belirlenen rotalardaki konfor-estetik-işlevsellik gibi özelliklerinin arttırılarak başka türlerden geçişlerin teşvik edilmesi politikası benimsenmelidir. Bu çalışmada, yaya türüne geçişlerin arttırılmasını sağlayacak ana yaya rotalarının belirlenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu doğrultuda ulaşım ana planı verilerinin kullanılarak rotaların belirlendiği yeni bir yaklaşım üretilmiştir. Öncelikle, kentsel erişim talebinin yüksek olduğu akslar ve mahalleler tespit edilmiştir. Yürünebilir mesafe ve ulaşım alışkanlıkları değerlendirilmiştir. Ana yaya aksları, yönler ve rotalarının belirlenmesi için türler arası geçişleri teşvik eden bir yaklaşım/model geliştirilmiştir.

Published: April 2023

Recently, the color image encryption technique using the chaotic system and DNA bases hasattracted great interest from the research community.The current research presents a study in an efficient methodfor color image encryption by using Hyper-chaotic Lorenz system with Hyper-chaotic Rösler system and DNAcoding. Where the Secure Hashing Algorithm-256/384 was presented first, due to the need for chaotic systems tohave initial values (primary key), which are obtained using this hashing function.Then the study presented the useof Hyper-chaotic Lorenz system and its chaotic sequences generated, as it turns the normal color image into adistorted image. By mixing the three components (red, green and blue) of the color image. Finally, the use of acombination of methods to encode mixed components is shown to achieve significant randomness, Hyper-chaoticRösler system is shown as well as XOR operations are applied between image DNA components and DNAsequences that are generated on the basis of Hyper-chaotic Rösler system. then decode the DNA components of theimage; Thus, the final encoded image is generated. The use of these methods of encryption is more efficient whencompared to the previous many color image encryption algorithms, as these methods are safer for attacks, and thiswas proven by studying the histogram (graph) in addition to the use of DNA and its characteristics, the mostimportant of which is DNA encryption additional technique. It has characteristics, such as wide parallelism andlarge storage capacity, which make it a very promising field and thus use DNA and messy functions will provideimage protection in an efficient way. Messy maps and DNA technology are two of the most popular topicscurrently used in image coding, in combination or separately. These two technologies have good security featuresand can be used to secure digital images. Chaotic systems' sensitive initial conditions, unpredictable and nonperiodic ideal statistics, and other attributes enable them to build secure cryptographic systems. Numerousbeneficial properties of computational parallel DNA computing have been discovered on a large scale, less powerloss, and a large amount of storage space. This is what this study sought to find an encryption technology thatmaintains a high level of strength against encryption attacks

Authors: Teoh Siew Chin , Subramaniam Sreeramanan , Chew Bee Lynn
Published: April 2023

Clitoria ternatea (Butterfly pea) is a tropical medicinal and fodder legume from the Fabaceae family possessing various beneficial phytochemical compounds linked to the mammalian neuroprotective mechanism. Callus and cell suspension cultures are excellent alternatives for harnessing secondary metabolites from medicinal plants. The current study aims to induce callus from cotyledon and hypocotyl explants of C. ternatea for the establishment of cell suspension cultures. Cotyledon and hypocotyl explants from two-weeks-old seedlings were subjected to half-strength MS medium supplemented with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) at different concentrations (0.5 mg/L to 2.5 mg/L) and callus scoring and morphology were assessed at week 8 of culture. Results revealed that the treatment of 0.5 mg/L 2,4-D resulted in the highest percentage of callus induction (100%) and the highest callus scoring for both cotyledon and hypocotyl explants with friable callus morphology. Cotyledon explants exhibited a higher callus scoring with a relative value of 3.03 ± 0.20 compared to hypocotyl explants at 1.80 ± 0.12. This study thereby provides a basis for future studies on callus induction studies and the establishment of cell suspension cultures of C. ternatea for the production of valuable secondary metabolites linked to the memory enhancing properties of the plant.

Published: April 2023

Southeast Asia is considered one of the world’s climate hotspots as the countries in the Mekong region, in particular, will be the hardest hit by the impacts of climate change if the global temperature continues to rise. This study aims to evaluate the differences in climate change-induced vulnerability of farm households in Cambodia, Vietnam, and Myanmar. The total sample size was 999 farm respondents, of which 304 were from Myanmar, 350 from Vietnam, and 345 from Cambodia. The farm households’ vulnerability was measured using an advanced indicator or indexing method with balanced or equal weighting. A total of 36 indicators were selected based on an extensive literature review and expert judgment. Each major component was comprised of sub-components and indicators, which were standardized using a balanced weighted average approach. The findings reveal that Myanmar was high in all components of climate change vulnerability, whereas Vietnam was the second most vulnerable country, followed by Cambodia. Based on the findings, we suggest implementing policy measures that aim to reduce the sensitivity dimension of farm households, such as by improving early warning systems, increasing public funding investment in infrastructure development, and creating embankments to prevent saltwater incursion, while empowering the adaptive capacity of farm households. Furthermore, we also recommend establishing the necessary healthcare facilities, strengthening the public-private partnership, increasing outreach and healthcare services, and improving access to the formal credit system.

O estudo objetivou analisar a influência da arrecadação tributária própria na qualidade de vida da população dos municípios de Santa Catarina nos períodos de 2016 e 2018. A pesquisa descritiva e abordagem quantitativa. A população compreende os municípios do Estado de Santa Catarina, Brasil, e a amostra foi composta por 221 municípios.  Os resultados do estudo demonstram que a capacidade de arrecadação dos impostos de competência municipal (IPTU, ISS e ITBI) depende diretamente do número de habitantes que o município possui, ou seja, quanto maior a população, maior é o valor arrecadado por habitante. Constata-se, ainda, que um grande montante de receita arrecadada não é sinônimo de indicadores sociais elevados. Os municípios que apresentam um número menor de população conseguem administrar e distribuir de maneira justa e eficaz os recursos obtidos, proporcionando melhor qualidade de vida para seus habitantes.

Flood disasters occur frequently in Indonesia and can cause property damage and even death. This research aimed to provide rapid flood mapping based on remote sensing data by using a cloud platform. In this study, the Google Earth Engine cloud platform was used to quickly detect major floods in the Barito watershed in South Kalimantan province, Indonesia. The data used in this study were Sentinel-1 images before and after the flood event, and surface reflectance of Sentinel-2 images available on the Google Earth Engine platform. Flooding is detected using the threshold method. In this study, we determined the threshold using the Otsu method and statistical sampling thresholds (SST). Four SST scenarios were used in this study, combining the mean and standard deviation of the difference backscatter of Sentinel-1 images. The results of this study showed that the second SST scenario could classify floods with the highest accuracy of 73.2%. The inundation area determined by this method was 4,504.33 km2. The first, third and fourth SST scenarios and the Otsu method could reduce the flood load with an overall accuracy of 48.37%, 43.79%, 55.5% and 68.63%, respectively. The SST scenario is considered to be a reasonably good method for rapid flood detection using Sentinel-1 satellite imagery. This rapid detection method can be applied to other areas to detect flooding. This information can be quickly produced to help stakeholders determine appropriate flood management strategies.
Using Electronic Medical Record To Identify Changes In Inpatient Learner Experience
Authors: Zhao Tingrui , Pasha Nadia , Sharma Poonam
Published: April 2023

Background

COVID-19 has been disruptive to inpatient medical care. While changes in prevalence of inpatient diagnoses have been published, little has been published about the impact on learner exposure to various diagnoses. Such changes are likely impacted by national and global trends, as well as local disease prevalence and policies. We hypothesized that the electronic medical record (EMR) may offer a tool to track learner experiences as they evolve in a time of rapid change.

Methods

The top 20 most common diagnoses between April-July 2019 vs April-July 2020 on the resident inpatient internal medicine service were extracted from the Epic EMR and compared. This data was analyzed using a chi squared test and Bonferroni correction to identify statistically significant changes in case distribution in this time frame. Changes over this period were also compared for the nonteaching service.

Results

The resident teaching service saw a statistically significant decrease in pulmonary cases (13% vs 2%, p < 0.005) from 2019 to 2020. Acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and pneumonia, previously the 5th and 7th most common diagnoses in the 2019 period, dropped off the top twenty list for the teaching service. These 2 diagnoses remained on the non-teaching common encounter list, suggesting that COVID-19-related service/team assignments rather than disease prevalence may be a factor. There was also a statistically significant increase from 2019 to 2020 in cases pertaining to substance use intoxication on both teaching and non-teaching teams (0 vs 0.05 and 0 vs 0.02, respectively), mirroring trends in national data.

Conclusion

Use of the EMR was able to rapidly identify changes in the most common diagnoses on the teaching service. This may be a tool to monitor the inpatient experience of learners over time, particularly in times of rapid local, regional, or global change.

Published: April 2023

Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading infectious cause of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP), a potentially life-threatening complication. The clinical presentation of TB-associated SSP is highly variable, although most patients present emergently with respiratory symptoms and pleuritic pain. Here, we present a case of TB-associated SSP that was clinically silent.
Sick Leave Determinants in the Healthcare Sector (Part II): A Review of Organizational-Level Factors.
Authors: Brady Hugh D , McGrath Deirdre , Dunne Colum P.
Published: April 2023

Background

Organizational level factors may influence and contribute to sick leave in healthcare, and particularly hospital, settings. We utilize relevant publications from recent literature to provide a useful, comprehensive and evidence-based resource for readers interested in effective human resource management and healthcare or hospital workforce planning.

Methods

To ensure that pertinent papers (2004 – 2022) were identified, a systematic literature review was performed searching Google Scholar, Econ Lit, PubMed, ResearchGate, ScienceDirect, Emerald Insight, Scopus, Medline, PsychInfo, and Web of Science databases. All abstracts were screened to identify papers that empirically investigated organizational level factors relevant to sickness absence in a healthcare population. A total of 452 papers were initially identified. These were reduced to 133 papers using pre-determined inclusion and exclusion criteria.

Results

Key factors associated with sickness absence in healthcare staff were long hours worked, work overload, working conditions and stress, and the effects of these on personal lives; job control including lack of participation in decision making; poor social support. Other organizational-level factors such as size and type of organization reflected strong association with absence levels. Shorter distance from work and seniority of position are reported to have a strong negative association with absenteeism. Management leadership style and workload were not found to be determinants.

Conclusions

Interventions that improved psychological health and levels of sickness absence used training and organizational approaches to increase participation in decision making and problem solving, increase support and feedback, and improve communication. Many of the work-related variables associated with high levels of psychosocial factors are potentially amenable to change.

This is Part II of a series describing factors influencing absenteeism in the healthcare sector.

Cluster bean, Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub is an important annual legume crop of kharif season in arid and semi-arid regions of the Indian subcontinent. Six fungal antagonists and four bacterial antagonists were evaluated against Sclerotium rolfsii in vitro and in vivo condition to develop an effective management strategy for stem rot of cluster bean. During in vitro studies, native fungal and bacterial antagonists were inhibited the mycelial growth of pathogen. Among the fungal antagonists tested, the isolate-I4 (THM) showed the maximum growth inhibition of S. rolfsii up to 68.10 per cent. The bacterial antagonist Isolate-I3 (PFV) recorded the maximum inhibition zone of 13.33 mm and a minimum of 23.00 mm mycelial growth of S. rolfsii. Pot culture studies revealed that the combined application of T9-T. harzianum (THM) + P. fluorescens (PFV) (ST+ SA) through seed treatment and soil application recorded the minimum incidence of stem rot (4.66 per cent) and maximum plant height, number of pods/plant and pod length.The findings reported in the present study supported the applicability of isolate-I4 (THM) Isolate-I3 (PFV) as a possible alternative to fungicides for the control of root rot in black gram.

Published: April 2023

Background: Despite the increased use of methamphetamine, little is known about its adverse effects in developing countries. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the adverse events of methamphetamine use in Iran. Materials and Methods: A total of 29 subjects who were recruited in the Iranian Mental Health Survey (IranMHS, a 2011 national household survey) and used methamphetamine more than five times in the past year enrolled in this case series study. Six years after the index interview, eligible participants were contacted to assess their frequency of methamphetamine use in the past year, the incidence of adverse events, and utilization of substance use treatment services. Results: One death was recorded among 29 eligible cases. Of the 13 completed interviews (all male), the majority (n = 10) reported abstinence, and 2 reduced their methamphetamine use in the past year. More than two-thirds (n = 9) of participants experienced at least 1 adverse event. Incarceration and violent behavior were the most common adverse events. Of the 10 individuals with methamphetamine use disorder, none received specific health care treatment. Conclusions: The study participants experienced a high rate of adverse events, and none of those with methamphetamine use disorder received specific treatment. Further prospective studies are needed to investigate the causal relationship between methamphetamine use and adverse events.

The student points system is an application for recording students' achievement and offense points. The lack of recording and dissemination of information on achievement results makes students less motivated to improve achievement, and the distribution of scholarships for outstanding students is inappropriate. To improve student achievement, an application program is needed that can record and disseminate student achievement data in real-time, accurate, and effective. So, the purpose in this study is to know and analyze the design of the student point system to improve student achievement using the clustering method. Researchers use the Clustering Method in calculating data to determine the accuracy of scholarship distribution for outstanding students. Clustering with the most achievement points is clustering 2 with 25,254 Achievement Points. The total number in the level 2 cluster is 1,797 which indicates the number is close to 2,000 or 2 which is the result of data transformation from the junior high level. The implication of clustering research on student point data is to provide useful information for the Foundation as an institution that houses schools in allocating scholarships for outstanding students. In this case, clustering 2 with the highest number of Achievement Points indicates that there is a group of students with high achievement points. By using the clustering results, the Foundation can allocate scholarships more effectively and efficiently, because it can identify outstanding students from various school levels more easily.

Published: April 2023

This study aims to analyze the role of customer satisfaction in mediating the effect of trust and perceived value on reuse intention. This type of research is explanatory research. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with 120 respondents and was analyzed using Partial Least Square (PLS). Based on the research results, it says that trust affects reuse intention and customer satisfaction, perceived value influences reuse intention and customer satisfaction, customer satisfaction affects reuse intention, and customer satisfaction mediates the effect of trust and perceived value on reuse intention. Customer satisfaction acts as a partial mediating variable. Trust and perceived value influence user intentions to reuse the application. Therefore, LinkAja application management must pay attention to and build trust and perceived value to strengthen user intentions to use the application again. So, it is important to pay attention to customer satisfaction and act as an important mediator in the relationship between trust and perceived value with the intention of reuse.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by clinical hyperglycemia due to defects in insulin secretion, insulin action or both. This study was to determine the correlation between serum fasting Glucagon Like Peptide-1 (fGLP-1) levels and serum 1 hour post prandial Glucagon Like Peptide-1 (1hGLP-1) levels with IMT of carotid artery in patients with Type 2 DM. This study used a correlative analytic with a cross-sectional approach in population of Type 2 DM patients who were treated at the Interna Polyclinic at Dr. Mohammad Hoesin Palembang the IMT of carotid artery was measured with a high-resolution carotid doppler ultrasound B-mode ultrasound machine. The GLP-1 level was measured by the ELISA method. There were 40 subjects with a median age of 52 (40-59) years. A strong negative correlation was found between fGLP-1 serum levels and IMT of carotid artery with r= -0.748; p = 0.000; n=40. This study also found a strong negative correlation between serum levels of 1hGLP-1 and carotid IMT with r = -0.600; p = 0.000; n=40. There is a strong correlation between serum fGLP-1 levels and serum 1hGLP-1 levels with IMT of carotid artery in Type 2 DM patients. Measurement of serum levels of fGLP-1 and 1hGLP-1 may be an important indicator in evaluating cardiovascular risk in Type 2 DM patients. It may also provide guidance in the development of therapies for Type 2 DM patients to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
