Published: June 2021

Objetivo: Verificar alterações na análise dos padrões computadorizados da marcha em pacientes com instabilidade anterior do joelho, comparando com pacientes sem instabilidade articular. Material e métodos: Vinte e sete pacientes diagnosticados com lesão do Ligamento Cruzado Anterior (LCA) do joelho (Grupo Instabilidade) e 20 indivíduos assintomáticos (Grupo Controle) foram submetidos à avaliação cinemática tridimensional da marcha. Foram comparadas a angulação média do quadril e joelho em quatro subfases, bem como as médias das angulações do quadril, joelho e tornozelo em toda a fase de apoio e balanço. Resultados: Observadas maiores médias de abdução do quadril, flexão e varo do joelho na subfase de contato inicial, maiores médias de flexão e varo do joelho no apoio médio, maiores médias de flexão do quadril e varo do joelho no balanço médio no Grupo Instabilidade. Em média, em toda a fase de apoio, maior flexão do quadril, maior varo e menor rotação interna do joelho, e maiores dorsiflexão e eversão do tornozelo no Grupo Instabilidade. Por sua vez, em toda a fase de balanço, maiores médias de flexão do quadril, maiores flexão, varo e rotação externa do joelho, e menores de flexão plantar e varo do tornozelo, no Grupo Instabilidade.Conclusão: Foram encontradas, no Grupo Instabilidade, alterações nos padrões computadorizados da marcha nos três planos espaciais, com a presença de um padrão de anulação do quadríceps, aumento do momento adutor e da rotação externa do joelho, que podem contribuir para a degeneração articular a médio e longo prazo.

A alergia ou Hipersensibilidade do tipo I, é uma patologia de ocorrência mundial, diretamente ligada à genética, podendo acometer diversos órgãos e tecidos, sendo as mais frequentes na população a rinite e a asma. Esses dois tipos de alergias causam prejuízo na qualidade de vida podendo, em algumas situações, levar a problemas respiratórios fatais.  Ao longo dos anos, essas alergias têm sido tratadas com anti-histamínicos e corticoides, porém ambos não trazem resultados definitivos e duradouros. A imunoterapia alérgeno-específica (AIT) tem sido usada como potente indutor de tolerância imunologica, melhorando ao longo de anos, a qualidade de vida de pacientes portadores de alergias respiratórias e prevenindo o avanço da rinite alérgica (RA). Assim, o presente estudo tem por objetivo revisar os mecanismos da Hipersensibilidade tipo 1, bem como, a eficácia, benefícios clínicos e segurança, e o processo de atuação imunológica da recém-descoberta imunoterapia sublingual (SLIT), comparados à subcutânea (SCIT) na asma e RA. Para tanto, foram utilizados como base artigos publicados entre 2005 e 2018, disponíveis no banco de dados PubMed e Scielo, assim como livros e revistas de Imunologia. Essa pesquisa permitiu concluir que a AIT é capaz de alterar o curso natural da doença, impedindo a progressão da RA e prevenindo a asma. Apesar de ainda haver controvérsias sobre os métodos de administração, a terapia por SLIT tem se mostrado mais vantajosa que a SCIT devido à facilidade de adesão ao tratamento, aumentando assim, a qualidade de vida dos pacientes.

Published: June 2021

Small islands have the nature of remoteness and vulnerability and commonly occupied by multi-ethnic communities that cause differences in the way they perceive natural resources. This study aimed to find out the communities perceptions on the importance and threat values of resources. This study was conducted through a survey method in Masalembu island, Sumenep Regency, East Java, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using descriptive frequency analysis method. The study shows the resources perceived very important are the sea, mosques and 4 resources with the same score (schools, madrasah, public health centers, and markets). Meanwhile, the top 3 resources that highly threatened are the sea, breakwater, and sand mining. There exists a paradox for marine resources because they are perceived very important and contrastively very threatened at the same time. Comprehensive regulations, programs, and policies are needed in the development related to the sea. In this case, social development, education, health, and economic cannot be ignored. Rehabilitation of mangrove vegetation should be encouraged in ex-mining and abrasion areas, taking roles asbreakwateras well as a means to increase the wealth of marine and coastal resources.

Published: June 2021

Mystical rituals in a tradition experience conflict in society because of things that are irrational in nature. For example, the grebeg maulid tradition, grebeg sudiro, lawung mahesa ceremony, mbah meyek village clean, sadranan, and slametan. However, the government has not lost the way to maintain this mystical tradition to maintain society's social order. This research is qualitative research with an ethnographic approach that focuses on the traditions that exist in Surakarta, which contain mystical but still growing. This research was conducted from 2019 to 2020. The data collected came from observations made in 5 sub-districts in Surakarta. Second, interviews with mystical actors. Third, documentation obtained from books, journals, and mass media explaining the mystical traditions in Surakarta. The data validity used the triangulation method, member check, time extension, peer debriefing. Data analysis using ethnographic analysis model. The result is that there are six ways to rationalize the mystical tradition, namely connecting the mystical with something rational, using a different name that can be accepted by the public at large, making the tools used in the tradition no longer mystical, and accommodating technological developments. such as the e-wom method to spread tradition.
The Imperial mentality of Russia and Anglo-American research in Russian Studies of the 1980s and 2000s
Authors: Lapteva Elena Vasilievna
Published: June 2021

This article is dedicated to the reflection of the topic of the Russian imperial spirit and its manifestations in the Anglo-American historiography of 1970 – 2000. The article relies on the works of the representatives of American Russian studies, from its major figures (Z. Brzeziński and R. Pipes) to modern representatives (A. Grigas). The author reviews the key positions of American researchers of Russia on the general characteristic of the imperial mentality that are inherent to the Russian people and determine their political and life behavior. Reference to the manifestations of the imperial spirit and its analysis in the modern period is important, as it allows seeing the history of Russia from an outside perspective, as well as carrying out a political-sociological and historical-chronological analysis to avoid similar mistakes in the future. The main conclusions are based on the works of Anglo-American Russian studies, which indicate that the study of imperial mentality, traditions, life and political behavior of Russia remains popular in the Western sector of Russian studies. On the one hand, it continues the tradition of American Soviet studies, while on other – separates from it and delves into the local and culturological research. However, the politological component retains its positions, and searches for the new topics and approaches. The author believes that these two trends would continue to be viewed in parallel in the Anglo-American Russian studies for a long time.

Authors: Medvedev Aleksei Dmitrievich
Published: June 2021

The goal of this research consists in determination of the place and role of French cinematography of 1960s – 1970s in the political history of postwar France. The object of this research is the process of transformation of political discourse in the context of transfer of power from Charles de Gaulle to Georges Pompidou. The subject of is reflection of the history of collaborationism in the films “Sadness and Pity” (1969) and “Lacombe Lucien” (1973). The author examines such aspect of the topic as reflection of the political and cultural elites on the Vichy regime. Special attention is given to the political consequences of the screening of films about collusion of the Nazi to French citizens. The scientific lies in the analytical overview of the popular films of French national cinematography of 1960s – 1970s, which interpret the phenomenon of “collaborationism” and “opposition" of the period of German occupation. As a result, it is proven that these films distorted the silence on collusion of a number of citizens to the occupier that prevailed in the French political and public discourse. The author notes that resign of Charles de Gaulle as the head of the French Republic led to the emergence of the products of popular culture that revise the previous interpretations of the military past and have a capacity to change the political situation in the country.
“Rebellious Parliament”: period of the “policy of reservations” in Denmark-NATO Relations (1982-1988)
Authors: Belukhin Nikita Evgen'evich
Published: June 2021

The object of this research is the foreign policy of Denmark in the 1980s. The subject of this research on the one hand is the ideological foundations of Denmark's foreign policy during this period, which were strongly affected by the ideas of European social democracy, and on the other hand – the influence of the Danish Parliament (Folketing) upon the formation of Denmark’s official position on the issues of European security discussed within the framework of NATO. Denmark’s refutation of neutrality after the World War II and its entry into NATO in many ways determined the foreign policy position of Denmark throughout the Cold War as a small European state that perceived the Soviet Union as a threat to national security. At the same time, the desire of Denmark of maintain maximum flexibility and avoid making far-reaching commitments within the framework of NATO, led to the fact that Denmark was often perceived as an unreliable and inconvenient ally. The period from 1982 to 1988 indicates the Atlantic dissidence of Denmark and simultaneous improvement of relations with the Soviet Union), when Denmark’s representatives in the NATO sessions, being obliged to take into account the position of the parliamentary majority in the Folketing, were forced to make reservations to the final documents of the sessions, expressing disagreement or criticism of implemented measures. Among the Russian scholars dealing with the history of Denmark, this period has not yet received wide coverage. This article is an attempt to describe and explain the causes and consequences of the period of the “policy of reservations” for Denmark’s foreign policy in the context of the end of Cold War and in the conditions of transition towards the post-bipolar system of international relations.
Russia and the West in the Information exchange of the late XVII century
Authors: Bogdanov Andrey Petrovich
Published: June 2021

A considerable amount of foreign books in the libraries, the study of Western languages by the Russians, and close contacts with foreigners in Russia and abroad in the 1680s – 1720s had insignificant impact on the Russian authors, who preferred to describe the events using traditional literary forms. Even the first historical monographs, although contained Western scientific forms, retained the Russian literary style. The attempts to influence public opinion made by V. V. Golitsyn using the inspired by him, which were distributed in foreign countries and translated as foreign In Russia, had a tactical success, as they did not correspond to the Western ideas on the barbarian Muscovy. Western publications about Russia were affected by the fantastic version of organization of the Moscow Uprising of 1682 by the boyars and Tsarina Sofia, initiated by the regency government and supporters of Chancellor A. S. Matveev, who propagated it abroad with particular success. In the XVIII century, this version was explicated in the essays of the Count A. A. Matveev and his mentor L. I. Poborsky. The comparison of Russian origins and reflections of the version with its Western interpretations, including those translated in Moscow, allowed assessing the uniqueness of foreign outlook on Russia. The synthesis of Russian and foreign interpretations of the fantastic version of conspiracies underlies the representations of many historians on the Streltsy uprising of 1682.
The cold route to Muscovy: European travelers of the XV – XVII Centuries in the conditions of Russian winter
Authors: Kolpakov Maksim Yur'evich , Mikheev Dmitry Vladimirovich
Published: June 2021

The XV – XVII centuries mark the intensification of trade, political and cultural contacts between the European countries and the Russian State. The large territory of the country, geographical peculiarities, road network, trade and political interests required long winter travels from the Europeans. The final data array, which describes the experience of European travelers is comprised of 27 essays and  reflects 32 visits or stay in the territory of the Russian State. From the representative range of sources, the author determines the characteristics of winters, assessments of the quality of winter roads, descriptions of clothes and road equipment, main methods of transportation, stories about the peculiarities of winter indoor and outdoor night lodging, common and uncommon methods against cold weather, and methods of treating freeze burns. The subjectivity or objectivity of “winter” testimonies of the foreigners was established in accordance with the climatic characteristics of simultaneous regional winter seasons in the texts of the Russian chronicles. The results of analysis of the natural and climatic conditions in Europe and the Russian State against the background of changes in heliophysical parameters allow asserting that European travelers of the so-called period of “Little Ice Age” came from the region with longer or colder winters. In the European part of the Russian State, abnormal freezing temperatures were marked later and not so longstanding. Over the three centuries of winter travels to Muscovy and trips to the domains of the tsar, the Europeans have adopted the experience and technologies of the local population, as well as developed the original recommendations for foreigners, who desired to live and work in the conditions of the “Russian winter”. A new stage in adaptation of economic activity and everyday life of the population to the impact of cold climate would become possible after the emergence of new types of transport and improvement of communication system in Modern Age.
Judicial practices of the Eastern Christian saints in the beginning of the IV – middle of the V centuries
Authors: Danilov Andrei Aleksandrovich
Published: June 2021

This article is dedicated to the study of activity of the saints in the area of justice during the Late Antiquity, and is structured upon the examination of theirs hagiographical works. The period of Late Antiquity, with its peculiar attitude towards the questions of crime and punishment and their social meaning is virtually out of the field of regards of modern historians. This article places emphasis no so much on the legal issues as on the social aspects of the practice of saints. The object of this research is the phenomenon of the saint, which emerged on the East of the Late Roman in the early IV century with the advent of the Christian monasticism and asceticism. The subject of this research is the practical activity of the saints associated with dispute settlement, conflict resolution, and crime prevention. The conclusion is made that the judicial activity of the saint reflects the perspective on justice that differs from the traditional systems. The saint uses an informal mechanism of mediation for reconcilement of adversaries and bringing them to a compromise. It is based on the need for a new outlook upon the problem of aggression that existed in society of the Late Antiquity, as key source of criminality. The actions of the saint are aimed at alleviation of human aggressiveness and rejection of violence and policy of frightening that were typical at that time, thereby preventing the offender from committing an offence. The main instrument in activity of the saint is the ability to accomplish a miracle, which reflects the power of the saint to overcome the traditional principles of justice.

Представлен результат анализа отказов тяговых электродвигателей карьерных самосвалов БЕЛАЗ 75306 в эксплуатации, который выявил, что до 50 % отказов приходится на возникновение кругового огня и повышенное биение коллектора. В статье подтверждено, что основным негативным фактором, приводящим к отказу электродвигателя, является неудовлетворительная коммутация. В работе приведены экспериментальные графики интенсивности искрения и параметров, характеризующих режим работы тяговых электродвигателей. Обучена и протестирована нейронная сеть, позволяющая предсказывать интенсивность искрения по переменным параметрам: току якоря и возбуждения, напряжению на якоре и коэффициенту пульсации тока якоря. Разработанная нейронная сеть позволяет выявлять неблагоприятные режимы работы электродвигателей с точки зрения коммутации. С использованием сформированной модели проведен анализ качества коммутации во всем диапазоне изменения параметров работы тяговых электродвигателей в режиме ослабления поля и определены недопустимые режимы работы, в которых интенсивность искрения превышает два балла.

As a result of the studying the threshing process of individual sunflower heads on a specially designed stand, we found the main factor affecting the quality of threshing is the threshing disc speed. It is named the acceleration coefficient, which is defined as the ratio of the threshing roller frequency to the starting frequency. It allowed modifying the design of the existing thresher. While modernizing the thresher, the basic principle of sunflower heads threshing and threshing modes remained unchanged. We added a smooth adjustment of threshing modes by means of an electric motor speed control unit, which allows adjusting the thresher for high-quality threshing of heads of the various sunflower varieties. The deck is cleared of seeds stuck in it with compressed air; the threshed head is ejected automatically. According to the results of laboratory tests of the modernized thresher, it was concluded that it provides highquality threshing of individual sunflower heads. Therewith, amount of injured seeds does not exceed 0.35%, seed losses in the thresher do not exceed 1.73% and the seed content in the heap after threshing is 97.02 %.

One of the significant reasons for the decrease in the sowing quality of seeds in leguminous crops all over the world is bacterial blight of seeds in the form of necrotic decaying spots on the outer or inner side of the cotyledons. A hypothesis was put forward about the presence of a common primary non-bacterial cause of the development of necrosis on cotyledons, regardless of the species, variety and growing zone. The studies were carried out in 2016– 2020 in V.S. Pustovoit All-Russian Research Institute of Oil Crops, Krasnodar, on seeds of soybeans, common bean, chickpea, white and narrow-leaved lupines. On immature seeds of healthy soybean plants in the phases of full filling and the beginning of physiological maturation, bacterial blight of seeds are never observed. Secondary (rain) moistening of mature seeds leads to the development of cotyledon necrosis and a decrease in their germination in soybeans, common beans, chickpeas, white lupine and narrow-leaved lupine. The physiological reason for the formation of cotyledon necrosis during the secondary moistening of mature seeds is the death of the tissues of the cotyledons, moistened before the stage of nucleic acid synthesis, and unable to return to the dormant stage upon repeated drying. Symptoms of the development of cotyledon necrosis after secondary moistening of mature seeds, and bacterial blight of seeds, are practically identical in all leguminous crops. The common primary cause of the formation of necrotic spots on the surface of the cotyledons, identified as bacterial blight of seeds, regardless of the species of legumes, variety and ecological-geographical zone of cultivation, is the secondary (rain) moisture of seeds that have not yet been harvested in the field of mature plants. Isolation of bacterial pathogens of various species and families in necrotic areas of the cotyledons can be explained by secondary infection of already dead tissues. Therefore, the species composition of bacterial microflora in each case will be determined by its presence in the environment.

The cold-resistant soybean cultivar of the northern ecotype Sayana was selected from the hybrid combination F4 L-2577 × Aldana according to the traits of cold and frost resistance and a reduced reaction for a length of a day. Additionally, the degree of cold resistance of this cultivar was evaluated by the cryosedimentation method. The cultivar Sayana belongs to a very early group of ripeness, which matures in 98 days at the latitude of Krasnodar (45°). In the competitive variety test in 2018–2020 its yield amounted to 1.19–2.10 t per ha. During the agroecological testing of the cultivar Sayana in Irkutsk region at a latitude of 53°, the duration of its vegetative period was 126–133 days with the average yield of 2.95 t per ha, which exceeded the standard cultivar Sibiryachka by 0.43 t per ha. The plant height of the cultivar Sayana at the latitude of Krasnodar was 77–88 cm, in the Irkutsk region at latitudes of 53°, it increased to 105–147 cm. The new soybean cultivar of the northern ecotype Sayana is highly resistant to low temperatures of air and soil during the seedling phase, and has increased productivity in long-day conditions of deficient heat supply and cold stress. This allows it to be cultivated as a main crop in the Central Chernozem, Northern Caucasian, Middle Volga, Lower Volga, Ural, West Siberian and East Siberian regions of the Russian Federation.

Published: June 2021

Background:

The prevalence of dermatophytes varies with season, geographical area, socio-economic factors and effective management strategies.

Aims:

The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of pathogenic dermatophytes, clinical types of dermatophyte fungal infection, andin vitroantifungal drug susceptibility testing against dermatophytes.

Methods:

Three hundred and ninety five patients with dermatophytosis were enrolled from five cities (Mumbai, Delhi, Lucknow, Kolkata and Hyderabad) across India. All patients were subjected to clinical examination and investigations, including potassium hydroxide microscopy, fungal culture and antifungal drug susceptibility testing.

Results:

Trichophyton rubrumwas the most common species identified (68.4%), followed byT. mentagrophytes(29.3%). Within species,T. mentagrophyteswas prevalent in humid environmental conditions (Mumbai and Kolkata), whereasT. rubrumwas prevalent in noncoastal areas (Delhi, Lucknow and Hyderabad). Tinea corporis (71.4%) and tinea cruris (62.0%) were the common clinical types observed. antifungal drug susceptibility testing data indicated that minimum inhibitory concentration required to inhibit the growth of 90% of organisms (MIC-90) was lowest for griseofulvin (0.25–3.0 μg/mL). Among oral antifungals, the mean MIC of itraconazole was within the range (0.84 [0.252] μg/ mL), whereas high mean MIC values were reported for terbinafine (0.05 [0.043] μg/mL). Among topical agents, lowest mean MIC values were reported for luliconazole (0.29 [0.286] μg/mL), eberconazole (0.32 [0.251]) μg/mL and amorolfine (0.60 [0.306]) μg/mL.

Limitations:

Lack of correlation betweenin vitroantifungal susceptibility and clinical outcome and absence of defined MIC breakpoints.

Conclusion:

T. rubrumwas the most common, followed byT. mentagrophytesas an emerging/codominant fungal isolate in India. Tinea corporis was the most common clinical type of dermatophytosis. Mean MIC of terbinafine was above the reference range, while it was within the range for itraconazole; griseofulvin had the lowest mean MIC. Luliconazole presented the lowest mean MIC values across cities.

Authors: Rai Reena , Anand J. Bede , Shanmugasekar C. , Arunprasath P. , Chaitra V. , Zillikens Detlef , Schimdt Enno
Published: June 2021

Background:

The pemphigoid group of diseases may present clinically and immunologically in a very similar fashion. Indirect immunofluorescence microscopy with readily available salt-split human skin in a BIOCHIP™ helps to classify these conditions as those with either with roof binding or floor binding of immunoreactants. Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita, anti-laminin 332 pemphigoid and anti-p200 pemphigoid show floor binding, while in the most frequent type of pemphigoid disease, bullous pemphigoid, epidermal side staining pattern is seen on salt-split skin

Aims:

The aim of the study was to detect the target antigens in sub-epidermal bullous diseases.

Methods:

Forty patients with bullous pemphigoid diagnosed by lesional histopathology and direct immunofluorescence microscopy were re-evaluated by a BIOCHIP™ mosaic containing both tissue substrates and recombinant target antigens. Sera with floor pattern staining on salt-split skin were further evaluated by immunoblotting with dermal extract.

Results:

Five patients with floor staining had anti-p200 pemphigoid.

Limitations:

We could not perform serration pattern analysis of direct immunofluorescence in our patients.

Conclusion:

Histopathology and direct immunofluorescence microscopy cannot differentiate between various entities of pemphigoid diseases. A multivariant approach using a BIOCHIP™ mosaic including salt-split skin followed by immunoblotting with dermal extract helps to identify the target antigen.

In all cases, satisfactory EVD functioning was noted during the surgery and during the early postoperative period. The EVD insertion procedure took an average of 10 min. The EVD insertion route calculations using the software took about 5–15 min. No cases showed any infection, hemorrhagic complications, or EVD dysfunction. According to the control brain computed tomography data, the catheter position was satisfactory and corresponded to the target coordinates in all cases.

Conclusion:

The use of the device, with its high accuracy and efficiency, can reduce the incidence of unsatisfactory EVD implantation cases in patients with neurosurgical pathology.

Published: June 2021

Background:

Basilar invagination (BI) can be defined as the insinuation of the content of the craniovertebral junction through the foramen magnum toward the posterior fossa. BI is a prevalent condition in Northeast Brazil. The present study describes the changes in the clivus-canal angle (CCA) in the postoperative period in patients with symptomatic BI operated by a posterior approach, using a simple technique of indirect reduction of the odontoid associated with occipitocervical fixation.

Methods:

Patients underwent radiological evaluations by magnetic resonance imaging in the pre and postoperative periods, where the height of the odontoid tip was measured in relation to the Chamberlain line and the ACC. All patients underwent posterior occipitocervical fixation with specific maneuvers of distraction and extension of the cephalic segment with the aid of a head clamp with three fixation points for anterior reduction of the odontoid.

Results:

Among the 8 patients evaluated in the series, all had increased ACC in the postoperative period, with a mean of 14.81 ± 1.54°, and statistically significant difference between the pre and postoperative periods (P < 0.05).

Conclusion:

The indirect surgical reduction of the odontoid process by a posterior approach through the manipulation (distraction-extension) of a “Mayfield” type of head clamp followed by occipitocervical fixation proved to be effective in improving the ACC, being easily reproducible.
Intraoperative epileptogenic network visualization using gamma oscillation regularity correlation analysis in epilepsy surgery
Authors: Kobayashi Yuta , Sato Yosuke , Sugiyama Tatsuya , Mizutani Tohru
Published: June 2021

Background:

We have recently demonstrated that gamma oscillation (30–70 Hz) regularity (GOR) analysis accurately localized epileptogenic focus using intraoperative electrocorticographic data. In this report, we assessed whether GOR correlation analysis could depict epileptogenic networks intraoperatively. Dual foci in temporal lobe epilepsy without hippocampal structural abnormalities are difficult to diagnose. Using our GOR correlation analysis, we aimed to intraoperatively visualize such dual foci and epileptogenic networks.

Case Description:

A 56-year-old man suffered from pharmacoresistant focal impaired awareness seizures. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated an 8 × 12-mm cavernoma in the right inferior temporal gyrus without any structural changes in the hippocampus. Since ictal semiology indicated a high probability of epileptogenicity in the right hippocampus, we reached the hippocampus using a transsylvian approach and assessed intraoperative GOR correlation analysis in the lateral temporal lobe where the cavernoma was located and the hippocampus, simultaneously. High GORs suggestive of epileptogenicity were identified in both the lateral temporal lobe and the hippocampus. Furthermore, they were connected using GOR correlation networks. When the high GOR locations in the lateral temporal lobe and the cavernoma were removed, high GORs and those networks were found within the hippocampus only. After additional hippocampal transection, high GORs and these networks were absent. The patient became seizure-free after the surgery.

Conclusion:

Our GOR correlation analysis may be a powerful tool for intraoperative evaluation of epileptogenic networks in epilepsy surgery.
Eagle syndrome presenting as a neurological emergency: A case report
Authors: Xhaxho Sokrat , Vyshka Gentian , Kruja Jera
Published: June 2021

Background:

Eagle syndrome, due to the elongation of the styloid process as well as the calcification of the stylohyoid ligament, rarely presents itself with a major neurological disorder such as a brain infarct.

Case Description:

Authors describe the case report of a previously healthy 64-year-old Caucasian male that complained of inability to control his right upper and lower extremity of an acute nature. Imaging at the emergency department (magnetic resonance of the brain and computerized angiography) showed the presence of elongated styloid process bilaterally with clear predomination at the left side. The brain ischemia (left temporal brain infarct) was due to carotid artery dissection, and the left internal carotid artery was not visualized during the contrast-enhanced angiography. The patient was hospitalized at a neurological facility and thereafter referred to surgery for styloidectomy.

Conclusion:

The present case underscores the need for a prompt diagnosis and an enhanced awareness of this syndrome, especially among emergency department professionals.
Uzaktan Algılama ve CBS Teknikleri ile Peyzaj Çeşitliliği ve Karbon Depolama Potansiyeli Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi
Authors: GÜLÇİN Derya
Published: June 2021

Antropojenik faaliyetler kaynaklı Arazi Kullanımı/Arazi Örtüsü (AK/AO) değişimi, önemli miktarda toprak tahribatı ve arazi kaybına neden olmuştur. Bu nedenle, özellikle son on yılda Akdeniz’de karbon tutulumu azalmıştır. Arazi verisinin eksik olduğu alanlarda karbon depolanmasını tahmin etmek için deneysel varsayımlara dayanan küresel değerler, uzaktan algılama teknikleri ile yerel karbon stoklarının basitleştirilmiş tahminlerinde kullanılabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, peyzaj çeşitliliği ve karbon depolama potansiyeli arasındaki ilişkinin uzaktan algılama ve CBS aracılığıyla incelenmesidir. Manisa il sınırı bütününden oluşan peyzajda yürütülen bu çalışmada, güncel arazi kullanımı/arazi örtüsü verisi kullanılarak, farklı mesafelerdeki örneklik alanlar için peyzaj çeşitliliği metriklerinden Shannon çeşitlilik indeksi (SHDI), yama yoğunluğu (PRD) ve Simpson eşitlik indeksi (SIEI) hesaplanmıştır. Çeşitlilik değerleri ile yer üstü karbon tutumu değerleri korelasyon analizi ile değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, kullanılan tüm peyzaj çeşitlilik metrikleri peyzaj çeşitliliği ve karbon depolama potansiyeli arasındaki ilişkiyi 3000 m’de en iyi düzeyde açıklamıştır. SHDI’nın bu ilişkiyi diğer metriklere göre daha iyi açıkladığı görülmüştür (p < 0,05). Ancak ilişkinin düzeyi ortadır ve yönü pozitiftir. Bundan sonraki çalışmalarda, AK/AO verisini kullanılarak karbon depolama potansiyelinin hızlı, pratik ve daha yüksek güvenilirlik seviyesinde ölçülmesini sağlayacak yeni metrikler üretilebilir. Böylece, AK/AO değişimlerine bağlı olarak arazideki karbon depolama potansiyeli değişimi de pratik olarak izlenebilir.
