Modern Arap Edebiyatında Aile ve Çocuk Temalı Şiirler
Authors: YÜKSEK Ayşe
Published: February 2023

Her toplum çocuk eğitimine önem verir. Çocukların eğitimi için de farklı unsurlar kullanır. Bu unsurlardan biri de şiirdir hiç kuşkusuz. Klasik dönem Arap Edebiyatında aile, çocuk ve çocuk eğitimi ile alakalı şiirler mevcuttur. Ancak bu tür şiirler, Modern Arap Çocuk Edebiyatında daha da çok görülmektedir. Çocuk Edebiyatı çocuğu merkeze alır. Çocukların zihinsel, psikolojik, kültürel, sosyal gelişimine katkı sağlar. Çocuğun milli ve manevi duygularını geliştirir. Ayrıca o, çocuğun dil gelişimine olan katkısını büyük bir zevkle yerine getirir. Çocuğun estetik ve zevk duygusuna hitap eder ve çocuğa birçok alanda literatür bilgisi sunar. Bu edebiyat türünde aile değerlerine sıklıkla vurgu vardır. Ayrıca bu tür şiirlerin içeriklerinde anne baba sevgisi, ülke sevgisi, çevre ve hayvan sevgisi bulunur. Dini duygular, ahlaki değerler, dostluk ve kardeşlik konuları da sıklıkla görülür. Böylece birçok alanda çocuğun gelişimine fayda sağlar. Bu sayede çocuğun hem kendisine hem de topluma faydalı bir birey olması hedeflenir. Çocuk edebiyatı, modern toplumlarda gelişmiş bir edebiyat türüdür. Tüm dünyaya ülkeleri, çocukları eğitirken, kendi kültürünü, medeniyetini, felsefesini ve ideallerini farklı edebiyat unsurlarıyla sunar. Çünkü güçlü çocuk edebiyatı güçlü bir toplum demektir. Modern Anlamda çocuk şiirlerinin öncüleri, Muhammed Herrâvî, Rifâe et-Tahtâvî, Muhammed Osman Celâl, Ahmet Şevki, Abdüttevvâb Yûsuf, Süleymân el-Îsâ, Ahmed Necîb, Abdürrezzâk Ca’fer, Ahmed Süveylem, Ahmed Zerzûr, Zekeriyâ Tâmir, Alî es-Sıkılî gibi isimlerdir.

Published: February 2023

There are a number of factors that influence the second language acquisition of a learner. This paper aims to investigate the most influential factors affecting SLA among English education students at the University of Lampung. The participants are 117 English education department students from batches 2018, 2019, and 2020 enrolled at the University of Lampung. The study employed a qualitative methodological approach. The data were descriptively analysed, which denotes that the data analysis took the form of a direct description of the data. The most influential factors in SLA, according to the findings, are internal motivation and instruction. In order for EFL learners to effectively acquire a language during the process of language acquisition, the educator plays a crucial role in assisting and facilitating them. Future research is suggested to investigate the causes of the differences in people's perceptions of the most influential factors in SLA, as well as the disparities in culture and educational level.
Magnetron Sputtering ile Ti6AL4V Üzerindeki Gümüş Kaplamaların Korozyon ve Antibakteriyel Özelliklerinin Karşılaştırılması
Authors: MELETLİOĞLU Emrah , SADELER Recep
Published: February 2023

Bu çalışmanın amacı, dental implant malzemesi olarak kullanılan Ti6Al4V alaşımının yüzeyine PVD (Magnetron Sputtering) yöntemi ile biriktirilen gümüş tabakasının korozyon davranışını ve antimikrobiyal etkisini belirlemektir. Kaplamalar, aynı kaplama koşulları altında farklı biriktirme süreleri kullanılarak elde edilmiştir. Kaplamaların kesit morfolojileri taramalı elektron mikroskobu (SEM), fazları ise X-ışını difraksiyonu (XRD) kullanılarak tespit edilmiştir. PVD yöntemi ile kaplanmış ve işlemsiz Ti6Al4V numunelerin üzerinde korozyon deneyleri Kokubo'nun simüle edilmiş vücut sıvısı (SBF) pH 7.0 ve 36.5 °C çözeltisi içinde ve normal atmosfer şartlarında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Buna ek olarak, in vitro anti-bakteriyel etkinlik deneylerinde numunelerin yüzeylerine E. coli (Escherichia coli) ve S. aureus (Staphylococcus aureus) mikroorganizmaları sürülerek kaplamanın antibakteriyel özelliği araştırılmıştır. Antibakteriyel özelliklerini ölçmek için ise plaka sayma yöntemi kullanılmıştır. XRD sonuçlarına göre numunelerin yüzeylerindeki kaplama tabakaların homojenliği, SEM analiziyle elde edilen kesit morfolojileri ile de desteklenmiştir. Potansiyodinamik polarizasyon test sonuçları, gümüş kaplamadan sonra korozyon direncinin arttığını göstermektedir. In vitro anti-bakteriyel etkinlik deneyleri sonucunda, PVD ile kaplanmış numunelerde E. Coli ve S.Aureus mikroorganizmalarının tutunumu, kaplanmamış numuneye göre daha az çıkması, kaplamanın anti-bakteriyellik yönünden uygun olduğunu göstermiştir.

Published: February 2023

Since Zadeh introduced fuzzy sets in 1965, a lot of new theories treating imprecision and uncertainty have been introduced. Some of these theories are extensions of fuzzy set theory. The concept of 'intuitionistic fuzzy set' (IFS) was introduced by Atanassov as a generalization of the concept fuzzy set by gives both a degree of membership and the degree of non-membership. As for fuzzy sets, the degree of membership is a real number between 0 and 1. This is also the case for the degree of non-membership, and further the sum of these two degrees is not greater than 1. Since fuzzy bi-ideal play an important role in the study of semigroup structures. The purpose of this paper is to initiate and study the intuitionistic fuzzification on the concept of several ideals in a semigroups S and investigate the basic theorem of intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideals and discuss the relationships of left (resp. right and completely regular) semigroups in terms of intuitionistic fuzzy biideals. For any homomorphisim f from a semigroup S to semigroup T if B= (μB , VB) is an intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal of T, then the preimage f-1(B) = (f-1(μB),f-1(VB)) of B under f  is an intuitionistic fuzzy bi-ideal of  semigroup S.
Potential for digital writing transfer with infographics: Students’ perspectives
Authors: Shcherbakova Marta
Published: February 2023

Between 2020-22 COVID-19 blurred the line between academic and digital writing as more students and educators used digital platforms to write, share, and collaborate on academic work. Today, students can video-conference, engage in digital annotating, communicate via chats with different audiences, and write more audience-oriented emails - some of the skills they transferred from their daily interactions prompted by the pandemic. To help the students enhance their digital writing skills needed to succeed in the post-pandemic world, the researcher of this study decided to introduce and implement infographics in her first-year composition. During the pandemic, this genre became one of the popular mediums for transmitting and sharing information, with public health organisations worldwide relying on them to illustrate the scale of the crisis and the actions needed to combat it. This exploratory study collected data from 13 students in a blended college-level writing course by employing qualitative research methods such as surveys and reflections to learn about students' perspectives on possible affordances and constraints of infographics and to discover a more robust understanding of infographics as a potential tool for digital writing transfer. A thematic analysis was used to code students' responses. The literature review and the findings of this study suggest that infographics can be used as a tool to improve intellectual skills (e.g., audience awareness, information filtering, concision) and life skills (e.g., self-efficacy), which are both needed for more effective digital writing skills required for success in the post-pandemic world.
Book Review: Handbook of Research on Lessons Learned from Transitioning to Virtual Classrooms During a Pandemic
Authors: Jackson Deidra
Published: February 2023

This book review on the Handbook of Research on Lessons Learned from Transitioning to Virtual Classrooms During a Pandemic by editors Amy W. Thornburg, Robert J. Ceglie, and Dixie F. Abernathy, aims to highlight reflections on the aftermath of the shift to online learning as told by K-20 teachers, faculty, staff, and administrators in the wake of the nascent spread of COVID-19 around the world. This review summary[s]es and assesses the book with the intention of offering readership a selection that promises effective educational learning tools, strategies, recommendations, and policies that might prove beneficial for all students going forward. Based on first-person narratives from classroom teachers, college professors, and community leaders around the world, who were on the front lines of moving to online teaching platforms, this book review may prove worthwhile to their global counterparts, who are searching for a primer on how educators might help students recover learning losses after the pandemic. In addition, the faculty editors, who are based at Queens University of Charlotte in North Carolina, present real-life accounts of the supplementary challenges the pandemic presented to students and teachers, including food insecurity, emergency remote teaching, and student motivation, primarily in North Carolina and such countries as Italy, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, and the United Kingdom. Thornburg et al.’s book is noteworthy to the global educational community as it presents stories from a compelling array of contributors whose captivating lived experiences will sound familiar to the audience; moreover, the authors validate their findings and unabashedly acknowledge their shortcomings.

Voices Lost and Found
Authors: Moss Erickson Heidi
Published: February 2023

We tend to take our voices for granted. Those of us who sing know that the voice is one of the most powerful instruments, and it is all housed completely within the human body. As singers we express musical gestures and text through our voices. But we also reveal a unique profile of sounds, feelings, and emotions unlike any other person. Our voices are our identities.Those who have struggled with vocal injury, even temporarily, know the pain of that loss. Thankfully, there are a wealth of vocal experts, doctors, and speech voice pathologists to help singers through physical challenges. But there is a class of vocal loss that isn’t at the structural level. The voices themselves are fine: no damage to the folds, no overt trauma to the mechanism. Instead, the challenges result from errors in the complex signaling of the brain to the vocal instrument. In these cases, a doctor cannot just look through a scope to diagnose the issue. The pathways are unseen, and for that reason, the approach must be customized through trial and error. It is only through specialized motor practice and experience that real change can occur. This paper explores three very personal stories of voices that were lost, and then found, through retraining and neuroplasticity.
“Judge Softly"
Authors: De’Ath Leslie
Published: February 2023

Studio instruction in voice inevitably involves the monitoring of pronunciation in the text of the song or aria. The contrastive approach regularly applied in ESL instruction is a resource that can clarify systematically the differences between languages, especially for the student whose first language is not English. Instruction based on a firm basic knowledge of the sound pattern of a student’s first language—especially those outside the languages of the standard literature—provides an enhanced understanding of singing in languages other than the student’s own, more than imitative modeling alone can.

Published: February 2023

Los Pueblos Afrodescendientes son parte integrante de la historia y de los procesos económicos, políticos y sociales de construcción nacional y desarrollo de América Latina y el Caribe. De hecho, los censos nacionales estiman que el 21% de la población total de la región—algo más de 134 millones de personas—son Afrodescendientes. Sin embargo, a pesar de los importantes avances legislativos a nivel internacional y nacional que reconocen la diversidad cultural y étnica y los derechos de los Pueblos Afrodescendientes, las condiciones sociales y económicas siguen siendo drásticamente desiguales y existen grandes brechas de información y reconocimiento que afectan a sus derechos. Este estudio busca dar a conocer la presencia territorial de los Pueblos Afrodescendientes en 16 países de América Latina y el Caribe.* El objetivo fue identificar progresivamente la presencia, tierras tituladas y no tituladas, y territorios de los Pueblos Afrodescendientes y abogar por el reconocimiento de sus derechos colectivos de tenencia. Aunque los Pueblos Afrodescendientes de la región han estado luchando por un lugar en los debates internacionales sobre el clima y la conservación, el hecho de no tener definidos los límites de sus tierras ancestrales ha sido un obstáculo para establecer adecuadamente la importancia de sus territorios para proteger la biodiversidad y hacer frente a retos complejos como la degradación de los ecosistemas, la pérdida de los sistemas alimentarios y otros problemas medioambientales. *Los 16 países estudiados son: Belice, Brasil, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, México, Nicaragua, Panamá, Paraguay, Perú, Surinam y Venezuela.

Authors: Hodakowski Alexander J. , McCormick Johnathon R. , Damodar Dhanur , Cohn Matthew R. , Carey Kyle D. , Verma Nikhil N. , Nicholson Gregory , Garrigues Grant E
Published: February 2023

Background: This study analyzed questions entered online by rotator cuff patients and determined types and quality of websites providing information at the top of queries. Methods: Three strings related to rotator cuff repair were explored in Google Search. The result pages were manually collected under the “People also ask” function for frequent questions and associated webpages. Questions were categorized using Rothwell’s classification with further topical subcategorization. Webpages were evaluated by Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) benchmark criteria for source quality. Results: One hundred twenty “People also ask” questions were collected with their associated webpages. Based on the Rothwell classification of questions, queries were thematically organized into fact (41.7%), value (31.7%), and policy (26.7%) categories. The most common webpage categories were academic (28.3%) and medical practice (27.5%). The most common question subcategories were timeline of recovery (21.7%), indications/management (21.7%), and pain (18.3%). The average JAMA score for all 120 webpages was 1.50. Journal articles had the highest average JAMA score (3.77), while commercial websites had the lowest JAMA score (0.91). The most common suggested question for rotator cuff repair/surgery was, “Is rotator cuff surgery worth having?,” while the most common suggested question for rotator cuff repair pain was, “What happens if a rotator cuff is not repaired?” Conclusions: The most common questions asked on Google pertaining to rotator cuff repair evaluate management options and relate to the timeline of recovery and pain management. Most information is provided by medical practice, academic, and medical information websites, which have highly variable reliability. By understanding the questions that rotator cuff repair patients are asking online, surgeons can tailor preoperative education to common patient concerns and improve postoperative outcomes.Level of evidence: IV.
Brasil en la Lucha contra el Soborno Trasnacional: Lecciones de los casos Odebrecht y Petrobras
Authors: Korb Anne-Sophie
Published: February 2023

Con la expansión de la globalización en todo el mundo durante el siglo XX, las prácticas de soborno trasnacional aumentaron debido a que cada vez se realizaron más transacciones financieras y comerciales a través de las fronteras. El soborno trasnacional se refiere a pagos ilegales a funcionarios de gobiernos extranjeros para obtener o retener negocios. En América Latina, Brasil es el país líder en la resolución de casos de soborno trasnacional, habiendo concluido varios casos, incluido uno con sanciones sustanciales en 2016. La pregunta del estudio se centra en los factores que pueden explicar, desde un punto de vista jurídico, los resultados de Brasil en tal resolución de casos de soborno trasnacional. El análisis de la resolución de casos en Brasil muestra que varios factores principales explican el éxito de Brasil. De hecho, las autoridades brasileñas participan en una resolución coordinada con otras autoridades, como las estadounidenses. Este fue el escenario en algunos casos de soborno muy conocidos, como los casos Odebrecht y Petrobras. En una resolución coordinada, las autoridades justifican sus acciones con sus propias bases legales, utilizan instrumentos para resolver casos sin tener que ir a juicio, a través de negociaciones, y crean un acuerdo final que permite dividir la multa pagada por la entidad jurídica entre los países involucrados.

UTICAJ PROMENA ŽIVOTNE SREDINE NA GEOGRAFSKU MOBILNOST LJUDSKOG KAPITALA
Authors: Grečić Vladimir
Published: February 2023

Uticaj promena životne sredine, naročito klimatske promene i globalno zagrevanje, na migracije stanovništva je stekao poslednjih godina i akademski i javni interes. Međutim, ne postoji naučni konsenzus o tome u kojoj meri i pod kojim uslovima faktori sredine utiču na migracije. U literaturi nalazimo samo čvrste dokaze da faktori životne sredine objašnjavaju migracione obrasce. Veličina odnosa snažno zavisi od konkretnog ekonomskog i društveno-političkog konteksta, kao i od faktora životne sredine koji se razmatraju. Promene uslova životne sredine u širem smislu reči mogu promeniti migracioni pravac i od emigracije konvertovati ga u imigraciju. Osnovni cilj ovog rada je da dijagnostikuje faktore životne sredine koji potiskuju i privlače ljudski kapital. Budući da ljudski kapital ima ključnu ulogu u savremenim razvojnim procesima, javne politike koje imaju za cilj zadržavanje i privlačenje talenata iz inostranstva zaslužuju daleko viši nivo na agendi izvršne vlasti.
Timing of Adverse Events Within 90 Days of Hip Fracture Surgery: A Database Study
Authors: Kammien Alexander J. , Ratnasamy Philip P. , Caruana Dennis L. , Grauer Jonathan N.
Published: February 2023

Introduction:

Hip fracture surgery is associated with notable morbidity. Understanding the timing of adverse events can inform strategies for prevention and management. Owing to database limitations, many studies have limited postoperative follow-up to 30 days. However, adverse events may not have plateaued by this time. This study evaluated adverse events after hip fracture surgery out to 90 days.

Methods:

Hip fracture surgeries in patients 65 years or older were identified in the 2010 to 2020 Q3 M91Ortho PearlDiver data set using administrative codes. The 90-day incidence and time of diagnosis of 10 common adverse events were determined and used to calculate median, interquartile range, and middle 80% for time of diagnosis. The number of events occurring before and after 30 days was also determined.

Results:

A total of 258,834 hip fracture surgery patients were identified. On average, 70% of adverse events occurred in postoperative days 0 to 30 and 30% occurred in days 31 to 90. The percentage of events in days 31 to 90 ranged from 8% (transfusion) to 42% (wound dehiscence). Compared with patients with a 0- to 30-day adverse event, those with 31- to 90-day adverse events had higher average Elixhauser Comorbidity Index scores (8.6 vs. 7.8, P < 0.001) and a slightly greater proportion of men (31.5% vs. 30.2%, P < 0.001).

For specific adverse events, the time of diagnosis (median; interquartile range; middle 80%) were as follows: transfusion (2 days; 1 to 4 days; 1 to 24 days), acute kidney injury (5; 2 to 26; 1 to 55), cardiac event (9; 3 to 35; 1 to 64), urinary tract infection (13; 3 to 39; 1 to 65), hematoma (14; 6 to 28; 3 to 52), pneumonia (15; 5 to 39; 2 to 66), venous thromboembolism (16; 5 to 40; 2 to 64), surgical site infection (23; 14 to 37; 7 to 56), sepsis (24; 9 to 48; 3 to 71), and wound dehiscence (26; 15 to 41; 7 to 64).

Discussion:

Nearly one-third of 90-day adverse events after hip fracture surgery were found to occur after postoperative day 30. An understanding of the timing of adverse events is important for improving patient counseling and optimizing patient care.
Legal Regulation of the Ideological Aspects in the Process of Ensuring the National Security of the Republic of Moldova
Authors: Cauia Alexandr
Published: February 2023

In the ex-Soviet space in general and in the Republic of Moldova in particular, the ideological aspects of national security are instinctively associated with the tragic consequences of the Soviet system and the communist regime of that period. However, the express definition of the national interest and national values as the foundation of the state structure and the normative system for ensuring national security constitutes an indisputable imperative. Thus, this article reflects, in addition to the definitions, conceptions and interpretations of the term ideology, in the context of ensuring the legal-normative basis of the state’s national security, and the need for the express formulation in the text of the future National Security Strategy, the essence and content of the national interest and national values, as the ideological foundations of the national security of the Republic of Moldova.

The Extraordinary Assessment of SCJ Judges and the Establishment of the Commission for Evaluating the Integrity of Candidates for the Position of Member in the Self- administration Bodies of Judges and Prosecutors or the Risk of Enslaving the Judiciary
Authors: Rusanovschi Iulian
Published: February 2023

In a continuous attempt to reform the judiciary in the Republic of Moldova, the Parliament and the Government have amended and adopted several normative acts that allow the evaluation of judges and prosecutors by a Commission formed by 6 members, three of them citizens of the Republic of Moldova elected by the Parliamentary majority, and the other three, foreign citizens proposed by the development partners of the Republic of Moldova. The draft Law on the Supreme Court of Justice provides in art. 13 the fact that all judges of the Supreme Court of Justice will be evaluated extraordinarily depending on the date of entry into force of this law, including those suspended. The extraordinary assessment is provided for, more recently, in the Law on the Prosecutor’s Office. These legislative changes, in addition to giving the politician direct and unconstitutional control over the judicial power, represent a surrender of sovereignty in favour of foreign states or supranational international bodies. To understand in depth the risk of implementing this system of extraordinary evaluation of judges and prosecutors, we will successively analyze the notions of sovereignty, judicial power and the principle of its independence, but also the necessity or constitutionality of implementing the extraordinary evaluation system of magistrates. Basically, we believe that an evaluation of judges and prosecutors would be opportune, but the members of such a Commission cannot be foreign citizens or persons appointed by a political body, precisely to exclude political interference in the judiciary. The political character of these normative acts but also the tendency of the executive to control the judicial power has already been sanctioned by the Constitutional Court by declaring some phrases from Law no. 26/2022 as unconstitutional.
Nutritional knowledge levels and food preferences of teachers
Authors: Parlak Mehmet , Ener Dilek
Published: February 2023

Nutritional knowledge includes knowing nutritional processes, major nutritional sources of foods, the relationship of diet to health and disease, and dietary recommendations. This study aimed to determine teachers' basic nutrition and nutrition-health knowledge levels, who are important opinion leaders in society, and to evaluate their food preferences. The research, a cross-sectional study, was carried out in a district in 2022. 280 teachers were included in the research. The survey form consists of 14 questions about sociodemographic information and nutritional preferences; and 32 questions on the “Nutrition Knowledge Level Scale for Adults” (NKLSA). The t-test in independent groups, Pearson Correlation and the Chi-Square test were used for statistical analysis. More than half of the teachers had a medium level of basic nutritional knowledge, nearly half had a good level of food preferences and a 52% correlation between their knowledge levels. The frequency of those with poor basic nutritional knowledge is significantly higher in men than in women. When the teachers' body mass indexes, daily water consumption, breakfast habits, number of daily meals, and skipping meals were evaluated according to information about nutrition, no significant difference was found in basic nutritional knowledge scores and food preference scores. It should be ensured that teachers have access to the right information sources about nutrition, and awareness activities should be carried out for nutrition, including students, to obtain accurate information about nutritional information and food preferences.
Effects of age, gender and modifiable risk factors on low back pain
Authors: Guler Emel , Ozer Firuzan
Published: February 2023

Low back pain increases with age and causes a burden of serious socio-economic adverse outcomes. Gender, age, vitamin D insufficiency, and obesity are some of the factors that are considered accountable for the etiology of low back pain, however, conflicting results are present in the literature regarding their effects on low back pain. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of pain duration, pain intensity, gender, and preventable risk factors including vitamin D and body mass index (BMI), on low back pain. File registration data of 274 patients (211 females, 63 males) were included in this retrospective study. Age, gender, pain intensity, BMI, and vitamin D levels were recorded. Patients aged 60 and over were considered as the geriatric group. We observed that higher Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) scores were significantly associated with increased BMI (p=0.007) and advanced age (p=0.049). Duration of pain was positively correlated with, age (p<0.001) and BMI (p=0.02). There was no significant relation between VAS scores and vitamin D levels. The duration of the disease was longer in women than men (p=0.038), but no significant difference was observed for VAS scores between genders. When the study group was divided into geriatric and non-geriatric groups, disease duration was higher in the geriatric group (p<0.001), but no significant difference was observed between VAS scores. BMI, which is among the modifiable risk factors, is closely related to low back pain. The increase in both BMI and VAS scores, especially with advancing age, indicates that overweight older individuals are at high risk for low back pain.

Published: February 2023

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is primarily characterized by the buildup of triglycerides in the hepatocytes. The present study sought to compare the hemogram and biochemistry parameters of patients with different grades of hepatic steatosis (HS) detected in abdominal ultrasonography (USG) examinations with the healthy control group. Patients who sought treatment at the internal medicine outpatient clinic for various causes and underwent abdominal USG were included in the study. According to USG results, participants were subdivided into four groups based on their HS grade 0-1-2-3. The mean age and gender distributions of the groups were not statistically different (p=0.306 and p=0.457, respectively). There was no statistical difference between the groups in terms of smoking status (p=0.344). It was determined that the prevalence of obesity, DM and HT increased as the HS grade increased (p<0.001, p=0.015, p<0.001). Mean platelet volume (MPV), atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), and fasting triglyceride levels were significantly different between the groups (p=0.012, p=0.008, and p=0.003, accordingly). Uric acid, uric acid albumin ratio (UAR), and AIP values and HS grade were positively and significantly correlated (p=0.036 r=0.276, p=0.024 r=0.294, and p=0.013 r=0.308, accordingly). When we considered HS grade as the dependent variable, the UAR value predicted HS grade positively and significantly according to linear regression analysis (p=0.008, Beta=0.387). According to the ROC curve analysis, UAR was found to be the most significant in the diagnosis of NAFLD (sensitivity 67%, specificity 64%, cut-off value:1.05). From a practical point of view, healthcare professionals need to be alerted that patients with co-existing hyperuricemia and elevated AIP are at greater risk of progressing to hepatic steatosis and, as a result, cardiovascular diseases. Additionally, our study confirms the need for more extensive longitudinal studies to understand the processes contributing to the relationship between UAR, AIP, and NAFLD. UAR value can be used as an easily accessible marker that can be used to show fatty liver. Future studies can examine the influence of reducing uric acid levels on the fatty liver.
Internal fixation of acute scaphoid proximal pole & waist fractures using the dorsal mini open technique without bone grafting
Authors: Ozden Erdem , Aybar Ahmet
Published: February 2023

The navicular bone of the hand is the most frequently fractured bone among the carpal bones, and if not treated well, it may result in nonunion. Dorsal, volar open, or percutaneous approaches can be used in surgical treatment. We aimed to evaluate the results of internal fixation of scaphoid fractures with the dorsal mini-open technique. Patients with acute proximal and waist fractures who have been treated with cannulated compression screws with a dorsal mini open approach without grafting between 2015 and 2020 were included. Functional outcomes were analyzed with the DASH questionnaire and MAYO wrist performance scores and compared with the contralateral wrists. The mean age of the patients was 35.6 ±10.8 years (range 20-55), seven were proximal, and 13 were waist fractures. The mean time to surgery was 16±7.3 days (range 5-30) and the mean follow-up time was 47.5±20.2 weeks (range 20-84). The mean DASH score at the last follow-up was 5.9±3.3 points (range 2.5-11.7), and the Mayo wrist performance score was 96.8±5.2 points (range 85-100). In one proximal pole fracture, cracking occurred on the cartilage surface at the screw insertion site but consolidated without any additional intervention. The mean time to union was 8.5±1.2 weeks (range 7-11). Waist region fractures consolidated faster than proximal pole fractures (p=0.002). No significant difference was found between the fracture site and mid-term functional results. Complications like proximal cartilage fractures during the embedding of the screw head or prominence of the screw head can be avoided with the dorsal mini-open technique which is a safe and effective method.
Pharmacovigilance: Study of pattern of adverse drug reactions at a tertiary care teaching hospital, Aurangabad, and Maharashtra, India: A prospective study and forthcoming challenge for the future
Authors: Chandra Shruti , Jaybhaye Deepali , Kaur Sukhmeen , Ubale Amol
Published: February 2023

Background: Reporting adverse drug reaction (ADRs) through Pharmacovigilance program of India is very important for effectiveness of drug treatment. It allows professionals to detect, assess, monitor and derive ways to reduce the incidence of ADRs.

Aims and Objectives: The aim of the study was to study the patterns of ADRs reported in a tertiary care teaching hospital.

Material and Methods: This study was conducted for a period of 10 months. We included all the forms of ADRs caused by drugs which were sent to the Pharmacovigilance cell, Department of Pharmacology. The reports were analyzed for age group, anatomical therapeutic classification, organ system involvement, type, severity, and the causality assessment.

Results: A total of 104 ADRs form were analyzed. The highest percentage 59.6% of ADRs was seen in 19–59 years of age group. Females were reported more reactions. The most common class of drugs involved was antimicrobial agents (51.9%). Major organ system affected was skin constituted a major component (73.0%). Our study showed that 75% reactions were predictable while 13.4% were unpredictable reactions. About 51.9% of reactions were moderate according to severity grading. The WHO causality assessment showed that 37.5% reactions were probable/likely and 32.6% were possible. About 75.9% of patients suffered from temporary harm and require intervention while 17.3% requires hospitalization. About 53.8% of reactions were from definitely preventable category and 43.2% were probably preventable.

Conclusion: The results suggest that staff of our hospital is reporting ADR according to the guidelines. There will be increase in spontaneous reporting and decrease in number of ADRs with further reinforcement. The data generated from Pharmacovigilance department will also help in finding ways for safer use of drugs in our hospital.

Authors: Gunawan Prastiya , Hardiyani Kartika , Ugrasena I
Published: February 2023

Objective: To analyze the Total Neuropathy Scale Pediatric Vincristine (TNS-PV) score as a vincristine induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN) diagnostic tool.
Methodology: This observational analytic study was conducted in Outpatient Pediatric Hematology Oncology Dr. Soetomo Hospital. The inclusion criteria were Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) children aged 4-18 years that had undergone chemotherapy treatment, received a cumulative dose of vincristine >12 mg/m2, had no muscle weakness and signed informed consent. The TNS-PV instrument were used to assess VIPN and nerve conduction studies (NCS) was used as the gold standard.
Results: A total of 54 children were enrolled, two refused to sign the informed consent. About 60% were male children, 76.9% aged <10 years old, and 94% were ALL-L1. The TNS-PV had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.638 (95% CI 0.531-0.834) with cut off value of 3.5. It had a sensitivity 87.9%; specificity 42.1%, positive predictive value 72.5%; negative predictive value (NPV) 66.6% and OR (Odds ratio) 5,273.
Conclusion: TNS-PV score cannot replace NCS as the gold standard, but TNS-PV can be an alternative tool for diagnosing VIPN.

Authors: Akyuz S , Yasar Hasan
Published: February 2023

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the antibiotic resistance of the agents isolated from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples of adult patients in our hospital for five years to contribute to surveillance data.
Materials and Methods: 121 CSF samples were included in the study between January 2015 and January 2020. Identification of isolates and determination of antibiotic susceptibility profile was performed according to EUCAST criteria with VITEK 2 (bioMérieux, France) automated system.
Results: Microorganisms (n=39) were isolated in 37 (30.6%) 121 cerebrospinal fluid cultures. The most frequently isolated agent is coagulase-negative staphylococci (CNS) by 30.8%. It is followed by Micrococcus spp (%15.4), Streptococcus pneumoniae (%10.3), Klebsiella pneumoniae (%10.3), Acinetobacter baumanii (%10.3), S. aureus (%5.1) and Corynebacterium spp (%5.1). 29 (74.4%) of the agents were isolated from hospitalized patients and 10 (25.6%) outpatients. Oxacillin resistance was found at 83.3% in CNS, and penicillin resistance was found at 25% in Streptococcus pneumoniae. Antibiotics to which K. pneumoniae and A.baumannii isolates are most sensitive are tigecycline and amikacin, respectively.
Conclusion: Different regions and patient populations might cause differences in isolated agents and antimicrobial susceptibility. Retrospective analysis of regional data will assist the clinician in treating patients diagnosed with meningitis, where empirical and agent-oriented therapy is vital.
NEW DESIGNS OF FISHING FACILITIES USED IN WATER PRODUCTION

Published: February 2023

The paper deals with the research of new structures of concrete hydraulic structures.An important stage in their design is the correct choice of groups of fish passage structures. It is worth noting that the selection of the structure group is carried out mainly on the basis of technical and economic comparisons, and not for structural reasons, taking into account the possibility of fish passing along the entire length of the tract. In the Republic of Kazakhstan, much attention has recently been paid to the development of fisheries. One of the evidences of this is the work of scientists and doctoral students of universities in this field. To create conditions for fish farming in the country, it is necessary to create fish-passing and fish-protection facilities. In any case, we need a new system for the development of fisheries. Indeed, there is no wealth in the fishing industry today. In particular, there is water, little fish. There is a problem here. If there are several reservoirs in the region suitable for fish farming, we will not be able to meet the demand of the residents of the region. If we consider this industry, which forms the basis of the region's economy, as an additional source of income or a subsidiary farm, then it is obvious that the problem will not be solved today or tomorrow.

Published: February 2023

At present, the assessment of water content, as well as the results of a study on the impact of economic activity on the hydrological regime of the Zhaiyk River, differ greatly among different authors. As a result, there is no unified methodology for assessing changes in river flow, and this, in turn, hinders the adoption of management decisions to restore the natural hydrological regime of a watercourse. In this regard, this article discusses the issue of an integrated assessment of changes in the water content of the Zhaiyk River.
