Epidemiology of Childhood Sleep Apnea
Authors: Jones Elizabeth
Published: October 2023

Childhood sleep apnea is characterized as airway obstruction because of upper airway impairment due to reduced oxygen levels or awakening from sleep in children. In children, only 1–5% of children suffer from sleep apnea, which equals to about 20 million−100 million children, globally. However, childhood sleep apnea tends to be underdiagnosed with about 90% of children not being properly diagnosed with sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a major concern due to the harmful clinical manifestations associated with the condition, such as abnormal breathing during sleep, frequent awakenings or restlessness, frequent nightmares, nocturnal enuresis, difficulty getting up in the morning, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), ADHD-like symptoms, daytime mouth breathing, and abnormal sleep patterns. There are also certain risk factors that can increase the risk of childhood sleep apnea. These risk factors are tonsillar hypertrophy, adenoid hypertrophy, obesity, craniofacial anomalies, and neuromuscular disorders. Childhood risk factors are important to consider because they can increase risk and severity. To aid an efforts to relieve, prevent, and diagnose childhood sleep apnea, there needs to be more efforts to promote, to educate, and to implement diagnostic testing for sleep apnea as a standard of care in pediatric patients.
Dyslipoproteinaemia: Important Concern in Type 2 Diabetes
Authors: John Kumwenda Mick
Published: October 2023

Dyslipoproteinaemia, also known as dyslipidaemia, occurs in more than 70% of people with diabetes and is a significant risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) associated with obesity, hypertension, and poor glycaemic control. The prevalence of diabetes worldwide is increasing, and so is the death rate in people with diabetes. The causes of dyslipoproteinaemia are divided into primary (genetic) or secondary, which are diagnosed from history (diabetes, obesity, endocrine disorders, and chronic kidney disease). The pattern of dyslipoproteinaemia in diabetes typically consists of increased levels of fasting and post-prandial triacylglycerols (TAGs), Low Dense Lipoprotein-C (LDL-C), non-HDL-C, small LDL particles and Apo-B and lower levels of non-atherogenic HDL-C and ApoA1. Treating dyslipoproteinaemia includes patients’ risk stratification and targeting those at high risk. It consists of lifestyle modification, statins, cholesterol absorption inhibitors (ezetimibe), drugs that increase HDL and reduce LDL (niacin, fibrates), triglycerides (Omega-3) and bile acid sequestrants. Proprotein convertase subtilisin–kexin type 9 inhibitors reduce LDL by 60–80%, ApoB by 50% and Lp (a) by 25% and should be considered in all people with diabetes with other risk factors and with coexisting primary dyslipoproteinaemia before developing ASCVD as well as those with established ASCVD.
Exploring Strange Entanglement: Experimental and Theoretical Perspectives on Neutral Kaon Systems
Authors: Binandeh Dehaghani Nahid , Pedro Aguiar A. , Wisniewski Rafal
Published: October 2023

This chapter provides an in-depth analysis of the properties and phenomena associated with neutral K-mesons. Kaons are quantum systems illustrating strange behaviors. We begin by examining the significance of strangeness and charge parity violation in understanding these particles. The concept of strangeness oscillations is then introduced, explaining oscillations between K0 and K¯0 states. The regeneration of KS is investigated, uncovering the underlying mechanisms involved. The discussion moves on to quasi-spin space, exploring its bases and their implications. The entangled states of kaon pairs K0K¯0 are considered, with a focus on maximally entangled neutral kaons and nonmaximally entangled states. Decoherence effects on entangled kaons are examined, utilizing the density matrix description to capture the dynamics. A dedicated decoherence parameter is introduced to quantify the impact of decoherence. Furthermore, the chapter investigates the loss of entanglement through measures such as von Neumann entanglement entropy, entanglement of formation, and concurrence. These measures provide insights into quantifying and characterizing entanglement in the context of neutral kaons. Through this comprehensive exploration of properties, phenomena, and entanglement dynamics, this chapter aims to pointing out recent works on neutral kaons, contributing to advancements in particle physics.

Authors: Daniel Domínguez-González Alejandro
Published: October 2023

Suicide is a serious public health problem whose causes are biological, psychological, social, and cultural, factors that are mostly preventable if they are known and treated on time. In the transition from adolescence to adulthood, the university population is vulnerable to developing emotional disorders. Among them, medical students are the ones who present higher levels of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation. In this essay, we analyze the prevalence of emotional disorders and suicidal ideation in medical students at our university and expose the efforts made to transform some psycho-emotional determinants by providing students with coping skills and strategies that allow them to manage their emotions and generate effective support networks among the student community, to increase the individual well-being and reduce the incidence of suicidal behavior.
Development of quantitative motion analysis software specific to boxing competitions
Authors: Nakamura Kouichi , Kodama Takayuki
Published: October 2023

Boxing is the ultimate contact sport in which the objective is to knock down an opponent by striking the opponent in the head and abdomen with knuckle punches while wearing minimal protective gear. Sports trauma and injury surveys of professional and amateur boxers in Japan and overseas have reported athletes suffering not only from orthopaedic disorders, such as lacerations and fractures, but also from acute subdural haematomas after knockouts and even chronic traumatic encephalopathy after retiring from boxing. Efforts have been made to improve boxing safety by improving the protective equipment and revising competition rules. However, the nature of the sport has not allowed significant results to be achieved. The primary prevention of trauma and injury during boxing involves avoiding attacks by an opponent. This chapter focuses on the performance of boxing from a scientific perspective, mainly the improvement of defensive techniques, and examines the usefulness of quantitative motion analysis software developed specifically for boxing. The fusion of boxing and technology is a step towards the construction of a new support system for the primary prevention of sports injuries and its potential has been explored.

Authors: Rodriguez-Rodriguez Genesis , Roman-Perez Mary , Rodriguez-Flores Fabiola , Inostroza-Nieves Yaritza
Published: October 2023

Research on post-disaster suicidality has primarily focused on areas with substantial loss of lives and property damage. Cataclysmic events, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, and the recent events of COVID-19, have established associations with a rise in mental health disorders. Hurricanes weak the infrastructure and obstruct medical services. Earthquakes led to power outages and destruction of buildings, homes, and geological landmarks. More recently, the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in detrimental loss of social interactions with effects on people’s mental health. This chapter will provide valuable information to identify and mitigate the incidence of suicidal behavior after natural disasters and provide effective assistance.
Coreferentiality considered from a cognitive perspective
Authors: Buffart Hans , Jacobs Haike
Published: October 2023

We propose an explanation of the observations of Leddon and Lidz that the predictions of binding theory are not always borne out by the facts. More specifically their participants did not always interpret bound pronouns in line with government and binding principles. Our analysis is based on a paper by Buffart and Jacobs where they recognized structures and substructures in languages in accordance with Focus theory. In the theory, every element in a structure, and thus an anaphor as well, is bound to it. In the absence of a reference within the main- or substructure, an anaphor may refer to an element in the related sub- or main structure. We show how preference works in case of duality of interpretations.

The New HR: HR and Leadership Integration
Authors: Felipe Alejandro Espinosa Alvaro
Published: October 2023

The topic of HR and Leadership Integration focuses on where HR and Leadership strategies intersect. In recent times, HR has achieved the proverbial seat at the table; however, HR in many organizations remains related to administrative and employee support roles. While those are important, an emerging need is for organizations to recognize that employees are critical strategic components of the organization. To a greater extent than in the past, the workforce can be a competitive advantage. Rather than relegating employee issues to HR, leaders are advised to view employee issues as leadership issues. Leadership must address operations, resources, and the workforce. This chapter explores the opportunities organizations have when they embrace employees as integral members of their service or production proposition. New partnership opportunities are available for organizational leaders to own the employee experience. The HR and the leadership lens must change to take advantage of where HR and organizational leadership intersect, creating the New HR.
Semantic Uses of Emotional Intelligence in K-12 Teacher Roles: Discussing Concepts Across Social Cognitive Context
Authors: I. Attwood Adam
Published: October 2023

Emotional intelligence (EI) is a term derived from the concept of interpersonal intelligence in Gardner’s multiple intelligences (MI) theory. This term has been used to explain one of the many expectations placed on K-12 teachers in that they are often expected to display EI. Given the prevalence of this term and popularity of MI theory, there is need to contextualize the semantic use of EI. To do so, Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory (EST) is discussed in relation to EI to provide a perspective on ways to conceptualize how to address secondary traumatic stress (STS) risk among teachers. The semantic use of EI relates to a theoretical understanding of teachers’ emotional labor. The purpose of this analysis is to highlight semantic conceptualization and links made between these concepts and to call for additional research on this interdisciplinary topic. Implications are discussed for how collaboration with speech-language pathologists can benefit general education teachers.
Superhydrophobic Membrane for Gas-Liquid Membrane Contactor Applications
Authors: M. Saleh Syafiqa , Mohd Tamidi Athirah , Kadirkhan Farahdila , Ching Oh Pei
Published: October 2023

Membrane contactors allow for higher mass transfer per unit volume. Hence, there has been great interest in recent years on its development and applications in separation processes. It offers high interfacial area between liquid and gas phases while preventing direct mixture, and concurrently prevents flooding and foaming, thanks to the independent gas and liquid flow rates. However, wetting of the membrane pores is a serious problem for this technology application, where even partial membrane pores wetting could significantly deteriorate contactor performance. Therefore, it is crucial that the membranes are hydrophobic to maintain membrane nonwetting during operation. Moreover, any membrane surface modification to increase its hydrophobicity must also be highly stable, does not leach out, and can be applied for long-term operation. This chapter looks at the research done on superhydrophobic membranes for gas-liquid membrane contactor application and its recent advances.

Authors: Delage Olivier , Bencherif Hassan , Portafaix Thierry , Bourdier Alain , Tato Loua René , Kirsch Pinheiro Damaris
Published: October 2023

The analysis of observational data sequences in Geophysics consists of characterizing the underlying dynamics. An important preliminary step aims to analyze the variability related to the observed dynamic. The specific objectives related to this step are to remove noise, to determine the overall trend of the observational time series and to identify the relevant components contributing significantly to the original time series variability knowing that their number determines the dimensionality of the observed dynamics. Most of the observational time series have characteristics of non-stationarity and present fluctuations at all-time scales. In this context, variability analysis consists in representing time series in the time-frequency space and requires the development of specific numerical signal decomposition methods. The most commonly used techniques are adaptive and data-driven and among the most cited in the literature are the empirical mode decomposition, the empirical wavelet transform, and singular spectrum analysis. In this work, we describe all of these techniques and evaluate their ability to remove noise and to identify components corresponding to the physical processes involved in the evolution of the observed system and deduce the dimensionality of the associated dynamics. Results obtained with all of these methods on experimental total ozone columns and rainfall time series will be discussed and compared.

Published: October 2023

Pulmonary impairment and decreased functional capacity are significant concerns following cardiovascular surgery, leading to extended hospital stays and mortality. Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) can provide significant prophylactic and therapeutic benefits in pre-operative and postoperative respiratory failure following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Despite scant data, non-invasive ventilation outcomes are promising in phase I cardiac rehabilitation. There exists evidence that validates the utilization of non-invasive ventilation in the acute phase of cardiac rehabilitation and its application in patients following CABG; this context continues to be a subject of controversy within the existing body of literature. The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate the efficacy of non-invasive ventilation as a prophylactic and therapeutic intervention for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, with the obvious aim of mitigating the occurrence of postoperative pulmonary dysfunction and decreased functional capacity.

Published: October 2023

Since 2019, the antigens from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Corona Virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) have evolved from the initial D614 wild strain in the first epidemic wave, to D614G mutant in the second wave, to Delta mutant in the third wave, and to Omicron mutant in the fourth wave. Were the virulence and infectivity associated with different fragments in the Delta subtype of SARS-CoV-2? It is needed to analyze the sequences of the virus. The longest four glycine-free antigen fragments with tryptophan, longer or equal to 37 amino acids in length, were selected. The four fragment sequences in D614, D614G, N148, and I358 Omicron subtype were searched from the National Center of Biological Information website. The standard deviation (SD) of the molecular weight of the contained amino acids in the fragments was calculated to be the indicator of their antigen precession. The longest fragment was analyzed for the relationship between antigen precession and virus infectivity. On the other hand, 10 mutations in the Delta subtype were found in eight mutated fragments, and their antigen precession was used to analyze the correlation with virus virulence. The longest antigen fragments determined virus infectivity. Whole mutated fragments determined the virulence. Both were associated with different mutated fragments with varied antigen precession in the Delta subtype of SARS-CoV-2.
An Investigation of Foreign Language Writing Anxiety Inside Vs. Outside Classroom among Arabic-Speaking Learners of English in Saudi Arabia
Authors: Albaqami Rashidah
Published: October 2023

Empirical evidence suggests that anxiety is considered an obstacle that hinders the process of foreign language development, including writing anxiety. This research attempts to investigate the levels of English Foreign Language (EFL) writing anxiety inside- vs. outside-classroom contexts among Arabic-speaking learners of English and to determine the anxiety-provoking factors in these contexts and the potential remedies for them. A total of 15 female Arabic-English majors students at Taif University in Saudi Arabia were interviewed in the study. The findings suggest that the participants suffer from high levels of writing anxiety in the classroom context, whilst they experienced low levels of anxiety in the outside-classroom context. This may have originated from the fact that the in-classroom context entails severe anxiety-provoking factors such as fear of judgements from others, time constraint, unfamiliar topics, striving for perfection, inadequate practice, former painful experience, lack of supporting resources and so on. The participants account for the low levels of anxiety when writing in the outside-classroom context that the aforementioned triggers do not exist or that some of them hardly occur when writing online, for instance. Besides, the outside-classroom context permits stress-free methods such as accessing supporting resources online. The study concludes with some pedagogical implications.

Increasing population warrants increasing food crop productivity with a minimum input cost. The usage of inorganic fertilizers is inevitable in modern agriculture cropping systems. Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are the major nutrients used by agriculturalists worldwide since the effect of these nutrients is highly significant on crop productivity; therefore, it is crucial to use them in an optimized way to make farming economically sustainable. The capacity of crops to absorb nutrients and efficiently utilize them is known as nutrient use efficiency (NtUE). The NtUE of plants would reduce the usage of synthetic fertilizers, reduce the nutrient leaches into the environment, and increase crop productivity. The development of optimum biomass-producing and nutrient-efficient crop varieties are the key for rational agriculture.

Authors: Alshrouf Maysoun , M. Akujuobi Cajetan , Awada Emad
Published: October 2023

In power system distribution, the transmission line is the bottleneck between power generation and consumers. Therefore, any fault or failure in the transmission line is critical and must be detected in a very short time. Meanwhile, as Discrete Wavelet Transform has special characteristics, it can be implemented to analyze and detect short circuit faults for the three-phase power system transmission line and identify the types based on phase-to-phase and phase-to-ground faults analysis. In this work, MATLAB Simulink was used to generate faults using a power distribution system simulator. The three-phase currents were analyzed using the Discrete Wavelet transform algorithm by decomposing the three-phase and ground currents and obtaining the detailed coefficients. As a result, the maximum value of the detailed coefficients is used to distinguish between different types of faults. Simulation results of the proposed method have shown promising results in detecting short circuit faults and identifying types of faults effectively.

Authors: Youssef Banora Mohamed
Published: October 2023

Root-Knot Nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) are very serious pathogen on tomato plants among the worldwide. They are widely distributed in soil and causes a highly economical losses for more than 5000 plant species. Therefore, many managements’ strategies are applicable to decrease their effectiveness such as resistant genotypes, soil solarisation and chemical control. Until now, chemical control is the most applied strategy for nematode management. Although nematicides are highly impacted for nematode suppression but environmentally not safety and very toxic. Consequently, several promising studies revealed that root-knot nematode (RKN) can inhibit nematode reproduction based on the susceptibility of their plant host. The plant effectors play a vital role during nematode infection and effect on plant response to nematode requirements. To understand well the relationship between nematode and their host, the molecular and immunolocalization methods illustrated some proteins which are expressed by plant genes involved in plant–nematode interaction. This chapter will focus on the latest status and future perspectives for nematode management.

Authors: Afşar Füsun
Published: October 2023

Despite continuing scientific and technological developments in the field of healthcare, heart failure has increasing prevalence and incidence throughout the world and remains one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality. According to the 2015 data of the American Heart Association, there were approximately 6.2 million heart failure patients aged >20 years in the USA, and when 870,00 new diagnoses per year are added, it is estimated that the rate of diagnosed cases will increase by 46% by the year 2030. As heart failure is a chronic and progressive disease, it requires many years of follow-up, treatment, and care. The primary aims of heart failure treatment are to reduce mortality and hospital admissions, increase functional capacity, correct symptoms and findings, and improve quality of life. In addition to the medical treatment of patients with heart failure, to provide compliance with the recommendations related to the management of signs and symptoms which cause mild-severe impairments in daily life because of fatigue, shortness of breath, and other cardiac findings, it is necessary to record and strengthen self-care practices. Self-care is essential for patients with heart failure [HF], and improving self-care is a major focus of multidisciplinary HF management programmes worldwide. This chapter will consider self-care in four phases, determining the self-care evaluation, self-care maintenance, self-care monitoring, and self-care management.

Published: October 2023

Infertility in endometriosis has been linked to a number of theories, including a disruption in the folliculogenesis process. Further research is needed to determine whether this issue is linked to the stage of endometriosis or gonadotropin stimulation. In a cross-sectional study design, the study comprised 28 women with moderate endometriosis and 25 women with severe endometriosis who had had in vitro fertilization. The data includes the total number of follicles, mature follicles, and ovarian responses. Bivariate and multivariate analysis were used to examine the data. In bivariate analysis, the t-test and chi-square were utilized. There was no significantly difference in number of follicles total between the two groups (15.2 vs. 10.6; p>0,05). In comparison to the severe endometriosis group, the moderate endometriosis group had considerably more mature follicles (2.891.62 vs. 1.761.17; p0,05).In the severe endometriosis group, insufficient ovarian response was more likely (RR 1.26 ; p 0.018). The number of follicles in total is the same in mild and severe endometriosis, but mild endometriosis has more developed follicles, and severe endometriosis has a higher rate of inadequate ovarian response

Dog-related practices among rural communities in the Kilosa District, Tanzania: implications for rabies prevention interventions
Authors:   , Sikana Lwitiko
Published: October 2023

Rabies is a disease which is most transmitted to humans through infected domestic dog bites. The disease is preventable through mass dog vaccination (MDV) or timely access to Postexposure Prophylaxis (PEP) injections for humans. Accessing a full course of PEP, however, is a challenge, due to high costs and lack of availability. In Africa, rural populations are most affected by rabies; this is also the case in Tanzania. Since the group who is most at risk of exposure are children, emphasizing correct dog handling practices, for example, can minimize dog bites and hence prevent disease incidences. MDV of the susceptible canine population is the best way of breaking the disease transmission cycle, but achieving the recommended coverage of 70% is still a challenge. To rectify this, it is important to understand dog ownership systems, management and handling practices and the decisionmaking process within households. The current study identified these to help addressing constraints related to rabies prevention and control in the community. The study focused on characteristics of dog ownership in the household (HH), decision-making process regarding dog ownership, dog vaccination and access to PEP for a child once exposed. A crosssectional study conducted in Kilosa district between May 2016 and March 2017, looked at 1216 households in rural communities in Tanzania. The findings elucidated significant factors affecting dog ownership and the number of dogs kept per household. Larger households are more likely to own dogs <0.001. While a child is likely to take the dog for vaccination, the decision to vaccinate the dog is usually made by the father. The findings also showed that mothers are responsible for the child's health once exposed and take the child to access PEP. The research findings will help to understand HH decision making with regards to dog ownership and responsibility for child health. These results are relevant for the design and implementation of rabies interventions and other zoonoses.
Development of ta2o5 electrochemically reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite electochemical sensor for oxytetracycline detection in Milk
Authors:   , Magesa Felista
Published: October 2023

Various kinds of antimicrobials are being used in the veterinary sector for therapeutic and growth promotion purposes. Significant amounts of antimicrobial residues are released in the milk and exert harmful effects such as allergic reactions, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity and teratogenicity as well as disturbance of normal flora in the gastrointestinal tract. Thus, quantification of these residues is crucial. A number of conventional detection methods that are in application, which use chromatographic, immunological and spectroscopic techniques are sensitive, selective and used for confirmatory test. However, most of them are costly, time consuming, laborious and cannot provide onsite results. In addition, most of the rapid detection tests in the market are qualitative and non-confirmatory. Hence, for quick, portable, sensitive and cost effective detection of antimicrobials, novel detection tools are needed. In this study, novel tantalum pentoxide-electrochemically reduced graphene oxide nanocomposites modified glassy carbon electrode (Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE) was developed for the detection of oxytetracycline in milk. The composition, structure and morphology of GO, Ta2O5, and Ta2O5-ErGO were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Oxytetracycline electrochemical behavior on the bare GCE, GO/GCE, ErGO/GCE, and Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE was studied by cyclic voltammetry. The Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE showed 2 fold increased magnification of the oxytetracycline oxidation signal in comparison to GCE, GO/GCE, ErGO/GCE electrodes. Under the optimum conditions, the currents were proportional to the oxytetracycline concentration in the 0.2 to 10 μM range with 0.095 μM as low detection limit. The preparation of Ta2O5-ErGO/GCE in the current work provides an outlook for detecting ultra-trace oxytetracycline in milk.

The current study assessed the biological properties and safety profile of extracts from locally grown banana leaves in Arusha (Tanzania) to affirm their possible use for wound dressing. Phytoconstituents screening from studied banana plant species, ijihu inkundu (IJ), mlelembo (ML), and kimalindi (KIM), revealed the presence of secondary metabolites: anthraquinones, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, terpenoids, phenols, phytosterol, and saponins. Susceptibility of microorganisms to studied banana varieties were in the order of KIM > ML > IJ. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed a statistical difference of mean among all extracts (p < 0.05). Moreover, results also revealed that all tested organisms were susceptible to the studied banana extracts, and their susceptibility was in the order of C. albicans > C. neoformans > S. aureus > S. typhi >E. coli > P. aeruginosa. These results suggest that the studied leaves, especially kimalindi, may be used to dress wounds involving fungal infections (C. albicans and C. neoformans) and bacterial infections (S. aureus), all of which are common wound infections. Antioxidant activity was evaluated by measuring the ability of extracts to scavenge the 2, 2- diphenylpicrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical. Results revealed that the scavenging of DPPH free radical was in the order of kimalindi> ijihu inkundu> mlelembo, these results also affirming that kimalindi extract had better scavenging of DPPH radical, and hence presents better antioxidant activity. Brine shrimp results for toxicity showed that almost all banana leaves extracts were practically non-toxic to the shrimps, exhibiting mild toxicity by giving the LC50 values higher than 100 µg/mL.

Published: October 2023

The soil samples from fifteen villages which grow Lablab in Babati district were collected and used for planting Lablab in experimental pot to trap indigenous rhizobia. At a flowering stage, the plants were harvested and root nodules were collected for rhizobia isolation using Yeast Extract Mannitol Agar (YEMA). Under aseptic conditions, twenty-two isolates were obtained and characterized by morphological, biochemical and physiological characteristics. Furthermore, PCR amplification of 16S rDNA and symbiotic effectiveness were also evaluated. The results showed that, rhizobia were fast and slow growing in YEMA after 4 - 7 days of incubation. In YEMA with Congo red one isolates absorbed the color, while, physiologically all isolates were alkaline tolerant, however susceptible to acidity and sodium chloride above 3%. High diversity among isolates was observed in dendrogram at 70% similarity level by forming two groups with seven clusters. Only 18 isolates out of 22 were amplified. In testing symbiotic effectiveness, all 22 isolates induced nodules in Lablab, interestingly some were effective than commercial inoculants. Most of isolates recorded relative symbiotic effectiveness above 100, the highest was 193 for BR4. Isolates BR4, BR13, BR16, BR5 and BR18 were effective than other isolates and commercial strains. The results implied presence of diverse and effective indigenous rhizobia nodulating Lablab in Tanzania, also highlights their potential to be used for inoculating Lablab instead of commercial inoculants. To recommend characterization by sequencing to identify their genetic groups and field effectiveness evaluation is needed in order to identify more effective isolates for inoculants production.

Antisemitizm Kurguları ve Holokost İnkarcılığına Bir Bakış
Authors: Çoruh Haydar
Published: October 2023

Birinci Dünya Savaşı, Osmanlı Devleti’nin işgali ve parçalanması projelerinin bir sonucu olarak Siyonizm’e Filistin’e yerleşme ve bir İsrail devleti kurma imkânı sunmuştur. Batılıların desteğini alan Siyonizm, devlet kurma konusunda önünde ikinci bir engel olan Vatikan’ın ortadan kaldırılması için büyük çaba harcamıştır. Vatikan’a karşı başlatılan saldırgan tutum kısa zamanda yeni bir savaşın fitilini de ateşleyecektir. Vatikan buna rağmen Yahudilerin Filistin’e yerleşmelerine izin verilmeyeceğini ilan etmiştir. 1922-1933 yılları arasında uygulanan bu politika, 1933’ten sonra değişmiştir. Siyonistler Vatikan’a Filistin’de bazı tavizler vermiş olsa da, 1936’dan sonra Vatikan yeniden hedef tahtasına konulmuştur. Vatikan bütün paydaşlarını göreve çağırmış olsa da, Siyonizm’in kurbanı olmaktan kurtulamamıştır. İkinci Dünya Savaşı arifesinde Yahudilerin taleplerine boyun eğmiş hatta, Yahudi çıkarlarına hizmet edecek şekilde, Yahudi aleyhtarı yeni bir pozisyon almak zorunda kalmıştır. Bu pozisyona uygun olarak Naziler tarafından Yahudilere yeni bir özel hediye edecek şekilde Almanya’daki Yahudilerin göçüne hizmet edecek bir anlaşmaya da imza atmıştır. Bu anlaşma Vatikan’ın sonradan Yahudilere karşı Nazilerle işbirliği yapmış olduğu yönünde değerlendirilerek, Antisemitizm ile suçlanmasına sebep olmuştur. Bu sayede Siyonizm, bir taraftan Filistin’deki rakiplerini ebediyen susturmuş, diğer taraftan Almanya’daki Yahudilerin dini bir örgüt tarafından yok edilmek üzere planlar hazırlandığı görüntüsünü verme imkanına kavuşmuştur. Bu da Vatikan’ın 1945 öncesinde olduğu gibi 1945 sonrasında da Yahudi aleyhtarlığının tamamen sonlanmasını sağlayacak en önemli Siyonist başarısı olmuştur.
Bu makalede Yahudilerin 1936-1939 yılları arasında Filistin’e yerleşme planlarına uygun olarak Vatikan’ın muhalefetinin kırılışını ve İkinci Dünya Savaşı öncesinde sözde soykırımı tetikleyecek büyük bir Yahudi aleyhtarlığının nasıl kurgulandığı üzerinde durulacaktır.
