This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of four different herbicides, namely Glyphosate, Paraquat, Dicamba, and S-metolachlor, in controlling post-emergence weeds in cotton fields. The experiment was conducted in Layyah, and the selected weed species included Pigweed, Canada thistle, barnyardgrass, Field bindweed, Purslane, Bermuda grass, Green amaranth, and Puncture vine. A randomized complete block design was employed, with four treatments and four replications within each treatment. One-meter quadrates were randomly placed within each replication to collect data on weed abundance. The recommended herbicide doses were applied, including 3 liters per hectare of Glyphosate, 1 liter per hectare of Paraquat, 1 liter per hectare of Dicamba, and 1.5 liters per hectare of S-metolachlor. The effectiveness of the herbicides was observed at regular intervals, noting the time taken for visible weed control and weed mortality. Data were collected for three time points to assess the herbicides' long-term efficacy. Data analysis revealed variations in the effectiveness of the herbicides on different weed species. Treatment T3 (Dicamba) consistently exhibited the highest control, while T4 (S-metolachlor) showed the lowest effectiveness. Mean weed densities across the treatments indicated significant reductions in pigweed, Canada thistle, barnyardgrass, and field bindweed. However, no statistically significant differences were observed among the treatments for purslane, Bermuda grass, green amaranth, and puncture vine. These findings provide valuable insights into the effectiveness of different herbicides in controlling post-emergence weeds in cotton fields. The results can inform farmers and agricultural professionals in selecting appropriate herbicides for effective weed management. Further research is warranted to evaluate the long-term effects and environmental considerations associated with the herbicides. The study highlights the importance of multiple data collection time points to assess the sustained effectiveness of herbicide treatments.

Evaluation of Crash Energy Management of the First-Developed High-Speed Train in Indonesia
Authors: Rizal Karisma , Syaifudin Achmad
Published: September 2023

Crash energy management is an essential evaluation stage of passive safety systems for high-speed trains. As a part of crash energy management, crash energy absorption has been researched for the last decade. The development of its components has also been performed individually. This paper presents a numerical analysis of the configuration of an energy absorption system for high-speed trains developed in Indonesia. Three placement configurations of the energy absorption system were investigated using explicit dynamic analysis in ANSYS. Total energy absorption, deceleration pulse, and deformation length were considered in the evaluation of the numerical analysis results. The collision criteria used in this study were according to EN 15227 and CFR 238 standards. This study revealed that the existing design could fulfill the energy absorption and average deceleration pulse required by EN 15227. Nevertheless, the existing design could not fulfill the energy absorption and maximum deceleration pulse required by CFR 238. It was also indicated that by positioning the anti-climber slightly forward, changing the deformation force of the crush box, and adding an impactor, the quality of energy absorption and average deceleration pulse could be improved.

Authors: I. Sulaikal Beevi , Palavesam A.
Published: September 2023

Since ancient times, plants and plant products were used against numerous diseases. In this context, Clitoria ternatea (C. ternatea) was used for the various treatments of infectious diseases as a therapeutic role containing various phytochemical, antibacterial and antioxidant properties. The methanol flower and seed extracts of C.ternatea were analysed for antibacterial activity against Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) using the agar well diffusion method. However, the probe of the antibacterial activity in both the methanol flower and methanol seed showed more or less the same zone of inhibition at 200 µg/ml. Furthermore, antioxidant properties were analysed by DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging activity and reducing power assay. Results on the DPPH assay showed better results in the methanol flower (42.79±0.0819) extract than methanol seed extract (37.41±0.0265) 200µg/ml. Likewise, the reducing assay manifested in the extract of methanol flower (0.90737±0.00375) was supremacy. Moreover the High resolution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HRLCMS) analysis of methanol flower and seed extract of C. ternatea contained 32 and 51 major bioactive compounds, respectively in positive and negative modes. In light of the study, the extracts of methanol flower and seed extract of C. ternatea are utilized in the mode of action against H. pylori. The methanolic flower and seed extracts authenticated the presence of extensive identified and unidentified phytochemicals in C. ternatea and through more light on the important bioactive compounds to be explored for medicinal applications in future research.

Authors: Dasgupta Spandan
Published: September 2023

Jungle cat, Felis chaus is a lesser-known cat species of the Indian Subcontinent residing in diverse range of environments, but marked mostly in scrubs, grasslands and marshes. Like other Felines, Jungle cats have also been demonstrated to mark territory with urine spray, neck rub, chin rub, and cheek rub. This brief study outlines the preliminary findings of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from the urine sample of subadult male Jungle cat. Identification of 2,5-dimethyl Pyrazine from the urine of the cat, makes it distinct from other related cat species. Incidentally, this chemical has been found to be the putative chemo-signal in the urine of maned wolf, Chrysocyon brachyurus. Molecular docking of volatiles shows the binding regions of the odorant with vomeronasal receptor.

This article demonstrates changes in biochemical homeostasis in patients with moderate SARS-CoV-2 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) or hyperglycemia identified for the first time. The results of the study were estimated according to the indicators of a biochemical blood test in the acute phase and the convalescent phase of the SARS-CoV-2. The most significant deviations of homeostasis were observed in patients with T2DM. The development and worsening of hyperglycemia were due to the specific effect of the virus on carbohydrate metabolism mediated via ACE2 receptors located in hepatocytes and pancreatic cells. The development of hyperglycemia in SARS-CoV-2 patients was not associated with the use of drugs with hyperglycemic effects in particular glucocorticoids. The obtained data indicate the blood coagulation system’s activation and the severity of this activation depended on the severity of SARS-CoV-2 and somatic complications.

Published: September 2023

El consumo elevado de componentes críticos en los alimentos ultraprocesados se ha asociado con la prevalencia de obesidad y otras enfermedades no transmisibles. En las últimas décadas el consumo de estos productos se ha incrementado en la población joven.  En México, el Sistema de Etiquetado Frontal de advertencia (EFA) debe advertir al consumidor sobre el contenido de componentes críticos en la dieta para fomentar consumos más saludables. La evaluación de la aceptación y uso del EFA respecto a la selección de alimentos para su consumo, ha sido insuficiente. Se analizó la asociación entre la aceptación, el uso y la comprensión-objetiva del EFA con el consumo de alimentos en adultos jóvenes. Análisis transversal y descriptivo del uso del EFA para la selección de alimentos en 450 participantes. Se aplicaron dos cuestionarios: uno midió la aceptación, uso y comprensión-objetiva del EFA, y un cuestionario de frecuencia de consumo de alimentos que evaluó la selección y consumo de productos en la dieta. El 76.4% aceptó el EFA, 66.7% lo usó y 50.4% demostró comprensión-objetiva. El consumo de alimentos con grandes aportes de componentes críticos fue el predominante. Solamente en 3 de los 20 componentes dietéticos analizados se cumplieron las recomendaciones de ingestión diaria. Quienes no utilizaron el EFA presentaron 1.6 veces más riesgo de elegir alimentos no recomendables para su consumo. Aunque un elevado porcentaje de la población aceptó y usó el EFA, la no comprensión del EFA implicó mayor riesgo de consumir alimentos no recomendables.

Published: September 2023

We report the case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with metamorphopsia and progressive vision loss in the right eye. Fundus examination revealed an elevated, white-yellow mass in the peripheral inferotemporal retina, with massive retinal exudation, proliferative vitreoretinopathy, and retinal detachment. Pars plana vitrectomy with tumor endoresection was performed, and a complete excisional biopsy of the lesion was obtained by removing the tumor through the anterior chamber. Histopathological analysis of the specimen confirmed a diagnosis of peripheral, focal, nodular retinal gliosis. Postoperatively, visual function improved greatly, with no recurrence of the disease at 12 months’ follow-up. Focal nodular retinal gliosis is a rare, non-neoplastic proliferation of retinal glial cells, with a vascular component. In our case, surgical treatment with pars plana vitrectomy facilitated accurate diagnosis and resulted in effective management of the retinal tumor and associated complications.

Unter der Lupe – Der Zugang zu Gerichtsentscheidungen in Deutschland
Authors: Pingen Anna , Steger Ann-Kathrin
Published: September 2023

Ist der Zugang zu Gerichtsentscheidungen so einfach, wie es sich viele Rechtswissenschaftler:innen vorstellen? Obwohl Gerichtsentscheidungen nach § 5 Abs. 1 Var. 5 UrhG gemeinfrei sind und eine Veröffentlichungspflicht von Gerichtsentscheidungen in Rechtsprechung und Lehre „stillschweigend“ anerkannt ist, gestaltet sich der Zugang in der Praxis als schwierig. Häufig gleicht die Suche nach einer Urteilsabschrift langwieriger Detektivarbeit. Gründe dafür liegen bei der Intransparenz der juristischen Datenbanken, in den Regeln für die Akteneinsicht und auch in der Art und Weise, wie Staatsanwaltschaften und Archive die Akten organisieren. Der Beitrag demonstriert und analysiert daher – auch anhand eines Fallbeispiels aus den 1950er Jahren – den mühsamen Zugang zu Gerichtsentscheidungen sowie Erfahrungen bei der Erstellung eines Datensatzes zur Dokumentation der gerichtlichen Auseinandersetzung mit Antisemitismus seit 1945. Der Beitrag schließt mit Handlungsempfehlungen und Recherchehinweisen.

Authors: BALASAR Barış , ERGÜN Mustafa Çağrı , ERGÜN Betül , EROĞLU Esma
Published: September 2023

Objective: This study was undertaken to assess the current status of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) in our institution during a 2-year period in relation to causative agents and their distribution, use and duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, and infection rate and incidence in comparison with national data.

Methods: Patients admitted to Medical ICUs of Meram State Hospital between 1st Jan 2019 and 31st Dec 2020 wereincluded. During a 2-year period a total of 47 patients were diagnosed with HAIs based on Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and National Nosocomial Infection Surveillance Network (NNISN) criteria.

Results: During 6041 follow-up days for 922 patients admitted to ICU, a total of 47 HAIs cases were detected. The most common types of HAIs included healthcare-associated pneumonia in 21 patients (45.6%) and other infections of the respiratory system in 12 patients (26.1%). The most common causative agent was Acinetobacter baumannii, which was found in 27 patients (50.9%).

Conclusion: HAIs is an unavoidable condition in ICUs owing to a number of factors such as frequent use of invasive devices, prolonged length of admission, and increased number of complications. One of the major health targets in healthcare facilities is to control an manage HAIs. Avoidance from unnecessary catheterizations, timely removal of invasive catheters, increased adherence to infection control measures, prevention of inappropriate antibiotic use, compliance with isolation procedures, and initiation of appropriate antibiotherapy based on documentation of causative organisms will significantly reduce HAIs incidence.

Published: September 2023

Objective: Chronic allergic asthma (CA) is a respiratory disease that affects millions of people worldwide. While there is evidence linking airway hyperresponsiveness and asthma to factors related to bone metabolism, the impact of asthma on bone health is not well understood. Therefore, to explore whether: (i) CA causes meaningful changes in bone magnesium (Mg) and selenium (Se) levels, and if any, (ii) anti-IgE (anti-immunoglobulin E) treatment has a protective effect against these changes.

Methods: In present study used tibia bones from a previous study on CA in mice. A murine model was used to generate CA. Thirty-two BALB/c male mice were randomly divided into four equal sized groups (eight mice/group): control group (intact), CA (treated with saline (0.9% NaCl), CA+L-AIgE (100 μg of anti-IgE), CA+H-AIgE (200 μg of anti-IgE). After immunization, saline was administered by inhalation three times a week. Anti-IgE applications were performed intraperitoneally for a total of 8 weeks in five sessions with 15-day intervals. Bone Mg and Se levels are determined by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), which is used to determine the elemental composition of various samples.

Results: Mg levels of CA and CA+L-AIgE groups were significantly decreased compared to the control (P

Published: September 2023

Objective: The aim of this study was to show the effect of the presence of AAC on mortality after lumbar degenerative disc surgery and to determine whether it is a predictor of survival.

Methods: Between 2014 and 2016, abdominal aortic calcifications were recorded by grade in patients who underwent surgery for degenerative lumbar disc herniation and therefore underwent updated lumbar CT. In addition to the demographic data of these patients, ASA scores were also recorded and these scores were statistically compared.

Results: The age of the patients in the Advanced Calcification group was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that in the Mild Calcification group. The ASA score in the Advanced Calcification group was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the Mild Calcification group. . Ex rate in the Advanced Calcification group was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than the Mild Calcification group.

Conclusion: There is a strong correlation between the degree of abdominal aortic calcifications and patient survival. This relationship is thought to be an important guiding scoring for spinal surgeons in the preoperative preparation phase.

Hasta verileri tedavi planlama sistemine aktarılıp, Hastaya totalde 36 Gy 24 fraksiyonda ve fraksiyon başına 1.5 Gy olacak şekilde doz reçete edildi. Hastanın tedavi doz planı hazırlanıp kritik organ, homojenite indeks ve konformite indeks değerleri dozimetrik olarak incelendi.

Bulgular: Helikal tomoterapi cihazının kendine özgü ışılama tekniği ve ek olarak çizilen optimizasyonlar hem kritik organ dozlarını hem de ciltten 0.5 cm derinlikteki tüm yapıların dozlarını düşürmemize olanak sağladı. Doz volüm histogramında planlanan tümör volümü için D95, D90, Dmaks, Dmin ve Dortalama sırasıyla 34.33 Gy, 35.06 Gy, 42.65 Gy, 11.32 Gy, 36.93 Gy değerleri elde edilmiştir. Bizim çalışmamızdaki sağ ve sol parotis ortalama dozları sırasıyla 19.34 Gy ve 18.76 Gy olarak ölçülmüştür. Baş-boyun, toraks, batın ve pelvik bölgede bulunan kritik organ ortalama dozları sırasıyla 2.98 Gy ile 19.34 Gy, 3.73 Gy ile 8.20 Gy, 6.56 Gy ile 9.30 Gy, 2.78 Gy ile 6.76 Gy arasındadır. Homojenite indeks değeri International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements 83 raporuna göre 0.15, konformite indeks değeri International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements 62 raporuna göre0.95olarak hesapladı.

Tartışma: Tüm vücut cilt helikal ışınlama hastanın tedavi esnasındaki konforu, başlangıç ölçümlerinin (doz profil ölçümleri, yüzde derin doz ölçümleri, absorbe doz kalibrasyonu, birleşik doz ölçümleri, tedavi derinliğinin belirlenmesi, tedavi süresinin belirlenmesi, X-ışını kontaminasyonu enerjisi ve miktarının ölçülmesi) olmayışı, tedaviye başlarken görüntü eşliğinde radyoterapi yapması ve doz homojenliğinde iyileşme gibi değerler açısından tüm vücut cilt elektron ışınlamaya alternatif olabileceği görüldü.

Authors: AYDOĞDU Gülay
Published: September 2023

Amaç: Tükrük bezi lezyonlarının tanısında yaygın olarak kullanılan ince iğne aspirasyon (İİA) materyallerinin değerlendirmesinde standardizasyonu sağlamak amacı ile Milan Raporlama sistemi (MRS) geliştirilmiştir. Çalışmamızda tükrük bezi İİA sitolojileri incelenerek, sitolojik tanı kategorilerinin histopatolojik tanı ile uyumunun araştırılması ve Milan raporlama sisteminin etkinliğinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntemler: 1 Ocak 2017 ile 31 Aralık 2021 tarihleri arasında merkezimize önce tükrük bezi İİA materyali ve daha sonra rezeksiyon materyali gönderilen 79 olgu çalışma kapsamına alındı. Olguların demografik, radyolojik, klinik bulguları ve MRS’ye göre revize edilen sitomorfolojik tanıları değerlendirildi. Her kategori için malignite riski (MR) ve neoplazi riski (NR) oranları hesaplandı. İİA’nın sensitivite, spesifite, pozitif prediktif değer ve negatif prediktif değerleri belirlendi.

Bulgular: Olguların 34’ü kadın, 45’i erkektir. Erkeklerde malignite oranı %29, kadınlarda %18’dir. Lezyonların %96’sı parotis, %4’ü submandibular gland yerleşimli olup, ortalama lezyon çapı benign olgularda 2,7 cm, malign olgularda 3,2 cm’dir. Olgular MRS tanı kategorilerine göre analiz edildiğinde 3 olgu nondiagnostik (ND, %4), 6 olgu nonneoplastik (NN, %8), 4 olgu önemi belirsiz atipi (AUS, %5), 46 olgu benignneoplazi (BN, %58), 8 olgu malignite potansiyeli belirsiz tükrük bezi neoplazisi (SUMP, %10), 4 olgu malignite kuşkusu (MK, %5) ve 8 olgu malign (%10) olarak değerlendirilmiştir. MR oranları ND, NN, AUS, BN, SUMP, MK, malign kategorilerde sırası ile %33, %0, %50, %0, %63, %75, %100, NR oranları ise ND’de %67, NN’de %50, AUS’ta %75, BN, SUMP, MK ve malign kategoride %100’dür. Tükrük bezi İİA’nın sensitivitesi %100, spesifitesi %98, pozitif prediktif değeri %92 ve negatif prediktif değeri %100 olarak belirlendi.

Sonuç: Tükrük bezi İİA sitolojilerinin değerlendirilmesinde kullanılan MRS, MR yönünden NN, BN ve malign kategorilerde oldukça güvenilir bir sistemdir. Bununla birlikte ara kategorilerilerde tanımlanan kriterlerin, geniş olgu serilerin değerlendirildiği çalışmalara göre yeniden düzenlenmesi gerektiği düşünülmektedir.

Amaç: Planlanan çalışmamızda Hibiscus vitofolius isimli bitkinin majör komponentlerinden biri olan gossypin isimli etken maddenin mikroorganizmalar ve onların virülans özellikleri (biyofilm oluşturma, adezyon ve invazyon yeteneği gibi) üzerine olan etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.

Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda, gossypin isimli maddenin 5 farklı türdeki mikroorganizmalar (2 gram pozitif bakteri, 2 gram negatif bakteri ve 1 maya) üzerine olan antibakteriyel ve antifungal etkinlikleri bir mikrodilüsyon yöntemi olan Sıvı Mikrodilüsyon Yöntemi (SMD) ile tespit edilmiştir. Ardından, biyofilm oluşumu; kristal viyole ve MTT testleri uygulanmıştır. Gossypin’in antibiyofilm aktivitesi mikroplaka yöntemi ile tespit edilip, MTT deneyleri ile doğrulanmıştır. Son olarak ise, gossypin’in antiinvazif etkinliğini ölçmek amacıyla Adherent-Invasive Escherichia coli bakterisi ile Caco-2 insan kolon hücreleri enfekte edilerek, AEIC suşunun invazyonu indüklenmiş ve etken maddenin invazyon üzerine olan inhibe edici etkisi araştırılmıştır.

Sonuç: Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, gossypin’in doza bağlı olarak antibakteriyel, antifungal ve antibiyofilm etkinliği olduğu saptanmıştır (MİK değerleri 40-80 μg/ml arasındadır). Buna ilave olarak, gossypin dozuna bağlı olarak bakterilerin Caco-2 hücrelerine olan adezyon ve invazyon süreçleri üzerine etkili olduğu saptanmıştır. 160 μg/ml gossypin uygulaması bakteri adezyonunu %67 oranına kadar ve bakteri invazyonunu %38 oranına kadar düşürmektedir. Yapılan in-vitro çalışmalar sonucunda gossypin’in IC50 dozunun 28,20 μg/ml olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

Tartışma: Elde edilen veriler, gossypin'in birden fazla antimikrobiyal aktiviteye sahip olduğunu ve bu etkilerin mekanizmalarının saptanması için gelecekte detaylı moleküler çalışmaların yapılması gerektiğini gösterdi.

The joint effects of management incentives and perceived locus of causality on management earnings forecast disclosures
Authors:   , Phonsumlissakul Kanjana
Published: September 2023

This study investigates the effect of management incentives (directive and transparency) and locus of causality (internal and external) on the willingness of managers to disclose management earnings forecast reports and the accuracy of management’s earnings forecast information. The experimental findings show that managers with directive incentives are less likely to disclose the earnings forecast and provide less accurate information to market participants than managers with transparency incentives, for both point and range forecast forms. In addition, locus of causality contributes to the accuracy of management earnings forecast information when the forecasts suggest underperformance, but the findings reveal no significant differences in the willingness of management to issue earnings forecasts. Managers tend to provide more accurate earnings forecasts in the range form when the poor performance is internal rather than external. There are fewer clear causal effects on the accuracy of point earnings forecasts. When focusing on the joint effects of management incentives and locus of causality, these factors influence the willingness of management to issue earnings forecast and to provide accurate earnings forecast. The willingness of directive managers to issue earnings forecasts is impacted more by internal and external factors than it is for transparency managers. The results show that when performance is affected by external business factors, directive managers’ point earnings forecasts are less accurate. However, there is no joint effect of management incentives and locus of causality on the accuracy of earnings forecasts in range form. The implications of these findings are for regulators related to the voluntary disclosure of management’s earnings forecasts. Particularly, the consideration of an earnings forecast’s form enhances the accuracy of the forecast.
