Bir Belge Işığında Osmanlı’dan Günümüze Doğal Afetlerde Deniz Araçlarının Kullanımı
Authors: OKUYAZ Selda , BALCI Cennet Şevval
Published: September 2023

Giriş: Osmanlı’dan günümüze afetlere müdahalede gezici sağlık ekiplerinin oluşturulmasından, çadır hastanelerin kurulması, kara-deniz-havayollarının kullanımına kadar geniş bir yelpazede çeşitli yöntemler uygulanmıştır. Yakın zamanda 11 ilimizi etkileyen, 6 Şubat 2023 Kahramanmaraş depremleri, kaybettiğimiz hayatların ne kadar değerli olduğunu ve bu depremlerde sağlık hizmetinin sunumu ve erişiminin önemini hatırlatmıştır. Bu süreçte özellikle ulaşımda deniz araçlarının etkili kullanımı ile etkilenen bölgeye yakın olan Mersin ili önemli bir rol almıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı depremlerden etkilenenlere müdahalelerde deniz araçlarının kullanımını Osmanlı’dan günümüze belgeler ışığında karşılaştırmalı olarak irdelemek ve tıp tarihi literatürüne katkı sağlamaktır.
Yöntem: Araştırma Mart- Haziran 2023 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Osmanlı dönemine ait 10 Mart 2023 tarihinde T.C. Cumhurbaşkanlığı Devlet Arşivleri’nde “sıhhiye” ve “deprem” anahtar kelimeleri ile tarama yapılarak deniz araçlarının kullanıldığı 1912 Şarköy Depremi’ne ait üç belge belirlenmiştir. Günümüze ait belge ise CİMER üzerinden 6 Şubat 2023 Kahramanmaraş depremlerinde kullanılan deniz araçlarına ilişkin bilgilere yönelik yapılan başvuruya istinaden Deniz Kuvvetleri Komutanlığı tarafından sağlanmıştır. Bu belgeler Osmanlı’dan günümüze deniz araçlarının depremlerde kullanımının sağlık alanındaki etkisini ortaya koymak üzere karşılaştırmalı olarak irdelenmiştir.
Bulgular: Elde edilen belgeler ışığında Osmanlı’da 1912 Şarköy Depreminde Bezm-i Alem Vapuru’nun sağlık heyetlerinin afet bölgesine gönderildiği, 6 Şubat 2023 Kahramanmaraş depremlerinde ise TCG İskenderun, TCG Sancaktar ve TCG Bayraktar Gemilerinin hasta ve yaralıların nakli ve hastane gemi amacıyla kullanıldığı belirlendi. Karadan ve havadan ulaşımın mümkün olmadığı durumlarda hızlı ve erken sağlık müdahaleleri için deniz araçlarının kullanımının öne çıktığı görülmektedir.
Sonuç: Diğer ulaşım yollarından daha hızlı, güvenli ve ekonomik olmasından dolayı doğal afetlerde deniz araçlarının erken müdahalede etkili olduğunu söylemek mümkündür.

Published: September 2023

In this study long-term trend analysis of precipitation and temperature series are determined in the Hirfanli dam basin of Turkey. Data is obtained from the Turkish State Meteorological Service for the period of 1968 to 2017 for Gemerek, Kayseri, Kirsehir, Nevsehir, Sivas and Zara. Mann-Kendall, Spearman's Rho and Innovative Trend Analysis are used for trend analysis with 95% confidence levels. According to the results of the temperature series upward trend were determined. The results of all methods are similar but increasing significant trends were determined by Mann Kendall and Spearman's Rho except Zara. According to the precipitation series results, with decreasing trends in Gemerek, Kirsehir, Nevsehir and Zara, increasing trends were determined in Kayseri and Sivas. The results of Mann Kendall and Spearman's Rho methods show parallelism with each other. Contrary to other methods, Innovative Trend Analysis determined a decreasing trend in Kayseri. As a result of the analysis, the trends in the precipitation series are not significant at the 95% confidence level. In addition to statistical analyzes, evaluations were made in terms of integrated disaster management for drought disaster in the basin with arid climate characteristics.

KOMPARATIF ISLAM, KRISTEN, DAN PROBLEMATIKA PANGESTU TERHADAP KONSEP MANUSIA
Authors: Maulana Agung
Published: September 2023

AKK (Aliran Kepercayaan dan Kebatinan) menjadi tantangan yang serius bagi umat beragama di indinesia, khususnya umat islam pada ajaran dan dakwahnya. Karena Aliran kepercayaan dan kebatinan ini telah legal statusnya di Indonesia yaitu pada tahun 2017 oleh mahkamah konstitusi dan eksistensinya yang telah terjaga oleh UUD 1945 pada Pasal 28 E ayat (1-2), dan Pasal 22 UU HAM, terkait perlindungan terhadap keberagaman agama yang ada di indonesia. Juga terhadap ajarannya yang jika di lihat banyak yang mengambil dari ajaran agama lain, terkhusus agama islam. pada Aliran Pangestu mengadobsi terhadap konsepsi manusia, contohnya pada susunan manusia yang terdiri dari subtansi jasmani, subtansi jiwa dan ruh dimana konsepsi ini merupakan konsep dari Al-Imam Al-Ghazali. Tak hanya itu ternyata yang menjadi kritikan terhadap Aliran ini adalah konsep dari hakikat pada kehidupan manusia di dunia ini, yaitu mereka menyatakan bahwa hakikat hidup kita di dunia adalah Kembali kapada tuhan dan menyatu dengannya atau di sebut dalam ilmu tasawuf dengan “wahdatul wujud”. Hal seperti inilah yang mendorong saya untuk mengkaji dan mendalam pada Aliran Pangestu terkait konsep manusia melalui metode komparatif yaitu suatu metode dengan cara membandingkan antara perbedaan dan persamaan, agar nantinya kita dapat mengetahui kerancuan dan penyelewengan apa saja pada Aliran ini dengan pendekatan yang kritis.
Reduced expression of ankyrin-G and E-cadherin in duodenal mucosal biopsy of subjects with celiac disease suggest its functional association with the disease pathology
Authors: Sharma Nidhi , Narang Vikram , Sood Ajit , Midha Vandana , Senapati Sabyasachi
Published: September 2023

Background: Confirmatory diagnosis criteria of celiac disease (CD) include histological evaluation of duodenal tissue biopsy and titer of serum antibody against tissue trans-glutaminase (anti-tTG). Identification of tissue specific histological marker is warranted to improve the diagnosis. Recent genetic study in CD identified association of ankyrin-G, which is a known protein that connects membrane bound E-cadherin with β2-spectrin in epithelial cells of the duodenal tissue.Aims: We attempted to investigate the expression differences of ankyrin-G along with associated proteins namely E-cadherin and β2-spectrin in duodenal biopsy tissue of CD subjects compared to non-CD controls. Methods: Duodenal (D2 biopsy) tissue was collected from a total of 83 study participants, of which 50 were CD and 33 were non-CD controls. Whole RNA was isolated from available tissues from 32 CD and 23 non-CD controls and differential mRNA expression of ankyrin-G, E-cadherin and β2-spectrin were compared using real-time PCR. Tissue sections from 18 cases and 10 controls were subjected to immunostaining using specific monoclonal antibodies against ankyrin-G, E-cadherin and β2-spectrin. Tissue immunohistochemistry were evaluated for differential expression and pattern of expression of proteins. Results: RT-PCR revealed significant reduced expression of ankyrin-G (FC=0.63; p=0.005) and E-cadherin (FC=0.50; p=0.01) among CD subjects compared to non-CD controls. Tissue immunohistochemistry confirmed the reduced expression of ankyrin-G and E-cadherin in CD. Differential expression is grossly limited within outer columnar epithelial cell layer.Conclusion: Reduced expression of two key cytoskeletal proteins (ankyrin-G and E-cadherin) were observed in CD. Reduced expression of ankyrin-G was previously reported in neurological diseases, whereas E-cadherin play critical role in neurological developments. Pathogenic role of these two proteins in CD suggests shared pathological determinants of CD and neurological disorders/conditions. Functional studies may unravel the contribution of ankyrin-G and E-cadherin complex in CD pathophysiology.

Authors: Marchetti Michela , Ceccarelli Caterina , Stockner Mara , Muneghina Orso , Lai Carlo , Mazzoni Giuliana
Published: September 2023

Mental health conditions, recognized as a global crisis, were further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Access to mental health services remains limited, particularly in low-income regions. Task-sharing interventions, exemplified by Problem Management Plus (PM+), have emerged as potential solutions to bridge this treatment gap. This study presents an evaluation of PM+ scale-up in Sub-Saharan Africa and Eastern Europe as part of SOS Children’s Villages NGO's mental health and psychosocial support programming.A mixed-method approach assesses its effectiveness and impact. Quantitative analyses reveal significant reductions in self-reported problems, depression, anxiety, and improved functioning. Qualitative data highlight four main themes: general health, family relationships, psychosocial problems, and daily activities. These thematic areas demonstrate consistent improvements across clients, irrespective of region.The findings underscore the effectiveness of PM+ in addressing a broad spectrum of client issues, demonstrating its potential as a valuable tool for mitigating mental health challenges in diverse settings. This study contributes to the burgeoning body of evidence supporting PM+ and highlights its promise in enhancing mental health outcomes on a global scale, particularly for vulnerable populations. In a world where mental health remains a paramount concern, interventions like PM+ hold significant promise for fostering resilience and well-being.
Secure Base Script Knowledge and Friendship Quality as Protective Factors for Bullying and Victimisation in Elementary School
Authors: Cheung Hoi Shan , Khong Jerrine Z. N. , Lee Jungup , Liu Denise , Ang Rebecca
Published: September 2023

This study examined how children’s secure base script knowledge and friendship quality were related to bullying and victimisation experiences and their emotional, academic, and behavioural adjustment. Participants were 581 children (49.6% males) aged 9 to 13 years old and one of their main caregivers (74% mothers, 23.6% fathers, 2.4% legal guardians). Most of the children were ethnic Chinese (58.2%), along with Malays, Indians and Others (e.g., Eurasians). Children’s secure base script knowledge was related to less bullying and victimisation, which in turn was related to greater positive emotional state, better academic achievement, less aggression and fewer social problems. Friendship quality did not add unique variance, highlighting the central protective role of attachment representation in the context of school bullying.
Toward a Theory of Perspective Perception in Pictures
Authors: Hertzmann Aaron
Published: September 2023

This paper reviews projection models and their perception in realistic pictures, and proposes hypotheses for 3D shape and space perception in pictures. In these hypotheses, eye fixations and foveal vision play a central role. Many past theories and experimental studies focus solely on linear perspective. Yet, these theories fail to explain many important perceptual phenomena, including the effectiveness of nonlinear projections. Indeed, few classical paintings strictly obey linear perspective, nor do the best distortion-avoidance techniques for wide-angle computational photography. The hypotheses here employ a two-stage model for 3D human vision. When viewing a picture, the first stage perceives 3D shape for the current gaze. Each fixation has its own perspective projection, but, due to the nature of foveal and peripheral vision, shape information is obtained primarily for a small region of the picture around the fixation. As a viewer moves their eyes, the second stage continually integrates some of the per-gaze information into an overall interpretation of a picture. The interpretation need not be geometrically stable or consistent over time. It is argued that this framework could explain many disparate pictorial phenomena, including different projection styles throughout art history and computational photography, while being consistent with the constraints of human 3D vision. The paper reviews open questions and suggests new studies to explore these hypotheses.
Type of polysemy matters: Evidence from semantic relatedness decisions
Authors: Maciejewski Greg , Taylor Jack Edward , Klepousniotou Ekaterini
Published: September 2023

Research into semantic ambiguity has shown that homonyms with multiple unrelated meanings inhibit processing, whereas polysemes with multiple related senses tend to facilitate it. However, more recent work suggests there may also be important differences among polysemes. To explore this further, we examined semantic relatedness decisions to irregular polysemes with unconventional, unpredictable sense extensions (e.g., ‘Windows/food menu’), metonymic polysemes with conventional, predictable sense extensions (e.g., ‘fluffy/spicy rabbit’), and metaphorical polysemes with conventionalised figurative sense extensions (e.g., ‘wooden/authoritative chair’) as well as homonyms (e.g., ‘money/river bank’) and unambiguous words. Three web-based experiments manipulated the duration of the ambiguous word (200/500/800 ms) to also delineate the time-course of access to the different senses. The findings suggest that just like homonyms, the senses of irregular polysemes have separate representations that compete with each other for activation and slow semantic processing. For the other polysemes, there seems to be a single representation that acts as a gateway to the different senses (metonymic) or maps mainly onto the dominant, literal sense (metaphorical). Overall, the findings support the distinction within polysemy and help to advance or constrain existing models of semantic ambiguity.
Video-based acute pain assessment is subject to sociocultural biases
Authors: Dildine Troy C. , Brookes Jama , Antkiewicz Nicole M. , Olsson Andreas , Atlas Lauren Yvette
Published: September 2023

In the United States, historically marginalized populations experience worse and more frequent pain and receive less pain treatment. Recent efforts have investigated inequities in pain care; however, without diverse databases of nonverbal pain behaviors, prior research has been unable to identify the role of biases in assessments of nonverbal reactions to real physical pain. We asked whether sociocultural biases impact pain assessment in sixty ‘perceivers’ by measuring estimated pain in response to videos of healthy ‘targets’ who experienced noxious heat. Videos were matched for pain intensity across four sociodemographic subgroups: White men, White women, Black men, and Black women targets. Perceivers attributed pain more often (β = .41, p < .001) and higher intensities (β = 8.08, p < .001) to White targets than Black targets. The effect on pain perception was impacted by perceived similarity (β = -2.08, p = .001) and pain intensity was associated with explicit racial bias (β = -.02, p = .006). In contrast to documented gender disparities, perceivers attributed pain more often (β = .24, p < .001) and higher intensities (β = 3.23, p = .003) for women compared to men. Finally, perceivers were more accurate when evaluating White compared to Black targets (p < .001), and this was driven by differences in accuracy when viewing male targets (p = .002). Our study provides an experimental model to assess biases of real nonverbal pain assessment and suggests nonverbal biases are consistent with historically documented racial biases but counter gender biases in pain care.
Implementation and Assessment of a Multipurpose Appraisal-Driven Emotion Awareness Tool Based on Self-Report
Authors: Fritz Mattia Alexandre
Published: September 2023

In computer-mediated learning environments, especially in remote conditions, learners often lack the socio-affective cues that are usually available in face-to-face interactions. Socio-affective phenomena are known to play a prominent role at various levels of learning processes and outcomes, spanning high-order cognitive functions, motivation, sense of belonging, and quality of interaction with colleagues. Emotions, in particular, are nowadays considered dynamic and multifaceted phenomena that serve a wide range of adaptive functions. As a result, an interdisciplinary interest has recently emerged on ways by which computer-mediated learning environments may be endowed with emotional awareness, that is, information about one’s own emotions and/or the emotions of colleagues, which is instrumental to the learning task at hand. Emotion Awareness Tools are one such attempt to bestow learners with the possibility to produce and peruse emotional awareness through a dedicated interface that coexists with the overall learning environment. The thesis provides the details of the implementation and empirical assessment of an Emotion Awareness Tool with the following main characteristics. First, it is based on voluntary self-report of emotion. Second, it implements a computational structure of emotion rooted in appraisal theories of emotion, for which emotion elicitation and differentiation is a dynamic and ongoing process driven by a cognitive evaluation of the situation. Third, learners can produce and peruse emotional awareness through the tool on a moment-to-moment basis. Adopting an iterative design process, the implementation and assessment of the tool are guided by evidence gathered through empirical contributions aimed at investigating which factors – intrinsic to the tool, deriving from the interaction between learners and the tool, between learners themselves, as well as between learners and the instructional design – determine whether and how emotional awareness may be beneficial in computer-mediated learning environments. The main outcomes of the thesis are a toolbox that allows researchers and practitioners to configure an instance of the tool according to their own scientific or instructional goals, a structural causal model of the influence of emotional awareness on learning in computer-mediated environments, and methodological techniques or instruments that may be applied in similar contexts.
Natural Disaster and Households’ Access to Drinking Water: Evidence from Nepal’s Earthquake
Authors: Adhikari Naveen
Published: September 2023

Natural disasters like landslides, droughts, floods, and earthquakes have consistently shown adverse effects on households’ access to safe and affordable drinking water. This study examines the impact of natural disaster on household access to drinking water taking a case of Nepal’s 2015 Earthquake. Drawing on data from four rounds of the Annual Household Survey (AHS) spanning from 2013/14 to 2016/17, the study employs a difference-in-difference research design to examine how households were impacted in accessing drinking water in the earthquake affected districts of Nepal. The results reveal that households in earthquake affected regions experience a decline in the use of piped drinking water by six-percentage-points compared to other sources of water notably wells, spring and rivers. Concurrently, there was a corresponding increase in the use of open water sources, particularly rivers and springs, for drinking among these households. These findings underscore that during disaster, sources like rivers and spring water can serve as essential alternatives for households, especially in the Hill and Mountain regions of Nepal, where other drinking water alternatives are less feasible. However, it is an important to note that these open water sources are often deemed unsafe for consumption and carry potential health risks. In light of these insights, this study emphasizes the necessity for disaster preparedness plans to prioritize establishing mechanisms that guarantee the safety of such open water sources for drinking during natural disaster and extreme events in the future.
Multidimensional Deprivation: A Reflection of Urban Concentration in Manipur, India
Authors: De Utpal Kumar , Devi Loitongbam Hena
Published: September 2023

Deprivation is a measure of relative disadvantage socially, economically, and politically that represent a clear picture of the ineffectiveness of various developmental policies leading to resource polarization in a particular sub-group of the population. It means the exclusion of a particular section of society or individuals from certain welfare enhancing facilities. In this paper, multidimensional deprivation in a North-Eastern state, Manipur and its change over time has been examined by using the most recent approach to find out its functional relation with relevant factors. The analysis is done by using different rounds of the two data sets namely, the National Sample Survey and the National Family Health Survey in India. Deprivation measures are decomposed both inter-regionally and across socio-economic groups. The findings of the study do not show any significant relation of deprivation with inequality and poverty. Unlike the traditional expectation of higher remote/rural concentration of deprived people, the poisson regression result points to a higher urban concentration of deprived people. Female-headed households are found to be more deprived. Regionally, the Imphal-West district overtook the Tamenglong District in 2015-16 and became the most deprived district in Manipur. Scheduled tribes (STs) are the most deprived social category in 2011-12 and other backward community (OBC) overtook them in 2015-16. The factors like district (spatial variation), sector, education of the head of household, and Monthly Per Capita Consumer Expenditure have significant impact on deprivation level in Manipur.

Authors: Yadav Maheshwar Prasad
Published: September 2023

Nepal’s energy sector comprises both successful and subsistence entrepreneurs. In this connection, the enduring question arises of how successful entrepreneurs have something special in the context of the solar companies in Nepal. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the effects of financial capital, social capital, and human capital on entrepreneurial success in this sector of Nepal. The study adopts a causal-comparative research design to determine the effect of initial investment, access to finance, network ties, trust, shared vision, education, and experience on entrepreneurial success. This study is based on primary data that were collected from a sample of 102 owners/managers of 45 solar companies using a structured questionnaire. The factors affecting entrepreneurial success were determined by estimating the econometric models and correlation analysis using IBM SPSS Statistics 20. The results show that access to finance, network ties, trust, education, and experience appeared to be the major factors affecting entrepreneurial success. Factors like initial investment and shared vision did not appear to be the important factors affecting entrepreneurial success. Policy implications and future avenues were also discussed.

Authors: Paudyal Pritha , Poudyal Niraj
Published: September 2023

The rate of return to education is considered as a measure of profitability. Getting confined to a particular course of study, it is well known that the number of student choosing management in masters is increasing every year in Nepal. This study attempts to estimate the private rate of return to MBA for individuals employed in development banks in Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC). A questionnaire survey was done to collect data from 164 MBA graduates working in development banks. Using the linear regression method, it is found that the rate of return to MBA for individuals employed at development banks in KMC is 23 percent. Further, male MBA graduates have been receiving 28 percent return to education and female MBA graduates have been receiving 22 percent. Hence, the findings suggest that undergraduates irrespective of their gender should pursue MBA for receiving higher return to investment in education.

Hydrophilic Versus Hydrophobic Acrylic Intraocular Lens Implantation in Paediatric Cataract Surgery
Authors: Thapa Bikram  Bahadur , Gurung Nanda Kumari
Published: September 2023

Introduction: The selection of intraocular lens is still debatable in paediatric eye.  Due to low cost and fewer intra-operative complication hydrophilic acrylic intraocular lens are implanted in volume in low income countries. There is lack of comparative study of this type of lens with hydrophobic lens in paediatric population.

Aims: To compare the outcomes of hydrophilic acrylic lens and hydrophobic acrylic lens in paediatric cataract surgery.

Methods: Out of 48 eyes included in the study, the Group A (n =24) eyes were implanted with acrylic hydrophilic intraocular lens, and the Group B (n =24) were implanted with acrylic hydrophobic intraocular lens. The children were evaluated pre, intra and postoperatively for different parameter.

Results: The mean age was 6.6±2.7 years at the time of surgery. The most common type of cataract was zonular (58% in Group A and 50% in Group B).

Introduction: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease is one of the top three causes of death worldwide and patients have to do pulmonary function test by spirometry to diagnose and to evaluate the severity. Electrocardiogram abnormalities have been found uniformly increasing with the severity by Global Initiative for Obstructive Lung Disease stages.

Aims: To know the role of Electrocardiogram in the evaluation of severity of Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease.

Methods:  This  was conducted in the department of Internal Medicine of Lumbini Medical College Teaching hospital from December 2021 to June 2022. The Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Lung Disease was established with history, examination and spirometry along with Electrocardiogram.

Results: Among 72 patients included 40 (55.56%) were in mild to moderate stage and 32 (44.44%) were in severe stage. The mean Force Expiratory Volume in one Second/Force Vital Capacity of severe stage was 38.59± 6.9 and 66.32±7.37 in mild to moderate stages. The electrocardiographic abnormalities like right atrial enlargement (P –pulmonale), right ventricular hypertrophy, complete right bundle branch block, low voltage in limbs, right axis deviation, sinus tachycardia and supraventricular tachycardia were seen in severe stage with statistical significance (p<0.05). Whereas left axis deviation and premature atrial contraction were found in mild to moderate disease and was statistically not significant.Increased percentage of normal electrocardiogram was found in mild or moderate than severe stage with statistical significance. So it is inversely related with the severity of disease.

Conclusion: The relationship between Electrocardiogram findings and degree of airway obstruction was found to be highly significant. So, Electrocardiogram can be used as a surrogate investigation to evaluate the severity of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

The Creative Fashion Center is a place for fashion workshops, makeup workshops, bazaars and catwalks with an emphasis on the art deco architectural style. Fashion is a familiar term in everyday life. We often identify fashion with clothes or clothes, when in fact what is said fashion is everything that is trending in society. Consumers can be regarded as the main driving force of the fashion industry. Because apart from being a buyer, they are also the ones who determine and choose the style to become a fashion trend. The architectural approach of this building is art deco. Art deco architecture was a popular design movement from 1920 to 1939, which influenced the decorative arts of architecture. This architectural style is suitable for the Creative Fashion Center building because art deco represents charm, elegance and luxury. And in my opinion, art deco style can represent the elegance and luxury of the pop art fashion style favored by young people.

Mayo, Charles H. Mayo, Donald Guthrie, William L. Estes, Jr., and Harold L. Foss, their influences on each other and surgery in general, and the appropriateness of this Latin aphorism as a tribute to them and to what they as unique achievers accomplished in the practice of medicine—relatively few in numbers, but excellent.
Efforts to Explain Spontaneous Regression of Cancer
Authors: Cole Warren H.
Published: September 2023

For many years, the author has had a keen interest in spontaneous regression of cancer for several reasons, one of which is the supposition that if we could discover the explanation of spontaneous regression, we would know a lot about the cause and cure of cancer. There is still some controversy relative to the validity of this phenomenon, but one of the world’s most distinguished clinicians (Sir William Osier1) apparently believed in it because he reported two cases.
