Authors: Костенко В. , Балаж М.
Published: October 2020

Мета. За даними літературних джерел розглянути сучасні підходи до можливості застосування інформаційних технологій у кардіореабілітації хворих на ішемічну хворобу серця.Методи. Аналіз та узагальнення даних наукової та науково-методичної літератури. Результати. В Україні абсолютна більшість кардіологічних пацієнтів після виписування зі стаціонару не отримують переваг кардіореабілітації. Розвиток інформаційних технологій спонукав до використання телемоніторингу та впровадження програм телекардіореабілітації, які можуть бути ефективним рішенням для продовження реабілітаційної програми в домашніх умовах та сприяння догляду за пацієнтами протягом тривалого часу. Висновки. Недостатнє впровадження сучасних програм кардіореабілітації є нагальною проблемою в Україні. Засобом підвищення ефективності кардіореабілітаційних програм може бути впровадження новітніх інформаційних технологій у практику охорони здоров’я, що дозволить продовжувати реабілітацію хворих наІХС на амбулаторному етапі в домашніх умовах та збільшити прихильність пацієнтів до участі вреабілітаційних програмах.

Authors: Valenko O.O. , Akopiane H.V.
Published: October 2020

Objective. Optimization of fluid therapy in emergency medicine.

Materials and methods: 1) conceptual four-phase liquid resuscitation model; 2) conceptual approach of infusion therapy management is based on an assessment of the four main components of haemocirculation: a vascular content, tone and integrity, blood flow; 3) fast bedside ultrasound algorithm for differential diagnosis of shocks and infusion resuscitation protocol using ultrasound of the inferior vena cava (preload assessment) and lungs (early detection of extravascular fluid).

Results. Using the selected methods, it is possible to clearly determine the optimal target-oriented infusion strategy depending on the volemic status and the state of hemodynamics, the parameters of which can be estimated using ultrasound: vascular content – inferior vena cava (caliber and breathing variations); vascular tone – caliber of the tibia artery; vascular integrity – loss assessment in the third space (physiological cavities and interstitium of the lungs); blood flow – Doppler Echo.

Conclusions. The use of diagnostic ultrasound allows to optimize tissue perfusion, keeping the intravascular fluid volume in a certain range by sorting patients into three categories of fluid management: infusion resuscitation, tested infusion, limiting infusion and early use of vasopressors, which reduces the number of adverse effects and the incidence of complications.

Authors: Kovalenko O.M. , Kovalenko A.O. , Оsadcha O.I. , Lynnyk O.M.
Published: October 2020

Objective. The aim of the study is improving the treatment’s effectiveness in patients with superficial dermal burns due to the usage of modern wound dressings.

Materials and methods. Under observation were 150 patients with superficial dermal thermal lesions with an area of 5-30 % of the body surface aged 10-64 years, who were treated at the Kyiv City Clinical Hospital № 2 during 2016-2019. The main group consisted of 120 patients, whose burn’s treatment provided under wound dressings in a humid environment (hydrogel, spongy polyurethane foam, film coatings). Comparison group – 30 patients whose wounds were treated by applying wet-drying bandages or bandages with water-soluble antibacterial ointments.

Results and discussion. At the beginning of the treatment, the pH of the wound content of dermal burns was 7.9-8.1. On the 3rd day of treatment in patients of the main group, the pH of wounds under wound dressings was defined as acidic (5.7). In patients of the comparison group on the 3rd and 4th day the pH of the wounds was determined as alkaline, and only on the 6th day it became slightly acidic. As the pH of the wounds increased, the rate of healing decreased. In the phase of acute inflammation and exudation, the pH of superficial dermal burns was alkaline 7.8-8.2, in the proliferation phase, under the wound coverings – acidic (5.5-4.1). The use of wound dressings led to a decrease in the number of microbial association in patients to 1.1±0.4 on 9-11th days after injury, the colonization of wound surfaces changed slightly to 3×102 per 1 g. In contrast, in patients of the comparison group in the sequestration period of superficial necrotic scab increased the number of microbial associates to 2.8±0.7, wound colonization increased to 105 per 1 g of tissue. The time of epithelialization with the use of wound dressings was 13.8±1.7 days, in patients of another group – 19.4±2.5 days.

Conclusions. Wound dressings that keep the wound moist are an effective way to influence the wound process, which can be regulated. In the treatment of superficial dermal burns under wound dressings there is a change of the alkaline reaction to acidy, which stimulates wound healing. Wound management in a wet closed chamber changes the qualitative and quantitative composition of the wound microflora, reduces the microbial contamination of burn wounds by two orders of magnitude. Superficial dermal burns heal under wound dressings for 13.8 days against 19.4 in traditional treatment.

Published: October 2020

Objective. To investigate the morphological features of the internal organs of experimental animals and identify potential target organs with the introduction of ultra-high doses of the drug ALX-5 % and the drug with double the concentration of components ALX-2N.

Materials and methods. The experiments were performed on outbred white male mice and outbred white male rats. Animals were administered ALX-5 % and ALX-2N solution. ALX-5 % protein-saline solution contains: donor albumin (5 %) pentatomic alcohol xylitol (5 %), alkalizing components – sodium lactate (1.9 %) and sodium bicarbonate (0.01 %), as well as sodium chloride (0.8 %), potassium chloride (0.03 %), calcium chloride (0.01 %). Theoretical osmolarity – 990 mOsm/l, pH – 6.2-7.4. The drug with double the concentration of ALX-2N contains all these components in double the concentration (osmolarity of the solution – 1980 mOsm/l). ALX-5 % was administered intraperitoneally multiple times at a dose of 174 ml/kg for mice and 90 ml/kg for rats. These doses are conditionally toxic, as these doses are the maximum that animals have been able to administer. Further increase in the volume of infusion solution was not allowed due to possible excessive hypervolemic effect. The ALX-2N solution was administered at a dose of 50 ml/kg. At the end of the experiment, histological preparations were prepared from the internal organs of animals, which were stained with hematoxylin and eosin and toluidine blue and studied under a light microscope.

Results and discussion. It was found that when white mice and white rats were injected with the native protein-salt preparation ALX-5 % (osmolarity of the solution – 990 mOsm/l) in ultra-high doses (174 ml/kg for mice and 90 ml/kg for rats) the main target organs were the brain and lungs. Changes in other organs (kidneys, liver, pancreas, spleen, heart) are uncritical. With the introduction of concentrated drug ALX-2N (osmolarity of the solution – 1980 mOsm/l) at a dose of 50 ml/kg in addition to pronounced changes in the lungs and brain, dystrophic changes of heart and liver cells are observed. In all the study groups of animals accumulation of glycogen was observed, which is obviously due to administration of the high dose polyhydric alcohols xylitol and sodium lactate, a significant part of which is metabolized in the liver.

Conclusions. According to the results of a comprehensive study of pharmaco-toxicological properties, it was found that the multicomponent protein-salt solution ALX-5 % may be suitable for further clinical study.
Features of the composition of certain complex hyperosmolar infusion solutions
Authors: Kondratskyi B.O. , Kachmaryk D.L. , Panas O.M. , Vynarchyk M.Y. , Novak V.L.
Published: October 2020

Objective. To justify the use of complex hyperosmolar solutions.

Results and discussion. Today, the question of the qualitative composition and quantitative relationship between the various components of infusion-transfusion therapy remains controversial. Hypertonic solutions in various concentrations of NaCl were first used for “low-volume resuscitation” in patients with hemorrhagic shock. Administration of these solutions results in a temporary osmotic pressure gradient between the blood plasma and the interstitial space, causing fluid to move into the intravascular space, increasing cardiac output, blood pressure, and improving microcirculation. Recently, combinations of hypertonic NaCl with colloids, as well as multicomponent infusion drugs are increasingly used. These are, in particular, the drugs Rheosorbilact, Xylate, Lactoxyl, Sorbilact, Lactoprotein with sorbitol, Gecoton developed at the Institute of Blood Pathology and Transfusion Medicine of the National Academy of Medical Sciences of Ukraine. Preparations based on polyhydric alcohols of sorbitol or xylitol, alkalizing agents of sodium lactate or sodium acetate and electrolytes. Rheosorbilact, Xylate, Lactoxyl are basic solutions for detoxification therapy, including in patients with diabetes. Sorbilact used as an osmodiuretic and for the treatment of patients in the postoperative period. Protein-salt solution based on donor albumin Lactoprotein with sorbitol is a mean for intensive care in emergencies. Colloid-hyperosmolar infusion solution Gecoton based on hydroxyethyl starch is used as a mean for low-volume resuscitation in the prehospital stage, including combat victims. Specially selected substances comprising the combined drugs affect different parts of the pathological process and have several advantages compared to mono-drugs. The pharmacological action of such solutions is due to the mutual potentiation of the action of its components. This provides hemodynamic effect and can reduce the dosage of each component separately, reducing the likelihood of side effects. The use of multicomponent hyperosmolar solutions can significantly reduce the total volume of fluid administered to patients.

Conclusions. Complete hyperosmolar drugs can be recommended for routine and auxiliary fluid therapy and treatment for emergency conditions.

Authors: Ruzieva A.A.
Published: October 2020

Objective. To study the effect of Thiotriazoline in patients with post-infarction chronic heart failure (CHF).

Materials and methods. We examined 46 patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) who had undergone myocardial infarction. The average age was 50.8±3.2 years; men – 32 (70 %), women – 14 (30 %). All patients were examined in the form of anamnesis and examination, general clinical and biochemical studies, electrocardiography. The assessment of CHF manifestations in patients of both groups was carried out according to the New York classification based on the results of the 6-minute walk test. The distribution into two groups was carried out according to the following parameters: the 1st group included 26 (56.5 %) patients (men – 19 [73.1 %], women – 7 [26.9 %]), who, along with basic therapy, received Thiotriazoline at a dose of 8.0 intravenously jet for 10 days; the 2nd (control) group included 22 (43.5 %) patients (men – 14 [63.6 %], women – 8 [36.4 %]) who received standard therapy (β-blockers, angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, calcium antagonists, nitrates). Distribution by class of CHF at the time of inclusion in the study was observed in 1st group in 21 (80.7 %) patients: I functional class (FC) – 2 (9.5 %), II FC – 11 (52.4 %), III FC – 6 (28.6 %) and IV FC – 2 (9.5 %). In 2nd group – (77.3 %) patients: I FC – 3 (17.6 %), II FC – 6 (35.3 %), III FC – 7 (41.2 %) and IV FC – 1 (5.9 %) patients. According to the Minnesota questionnaire in group 1, the quality of life indicators (average value in points) were 71.1±1.8 points (p<0.05). The 2nd group had 67.9±1.9 points (p<0.05).

Results and discussion. Positive hemodynamics and assessment of CHF manifestations by FC served as a clear statement of improvement in the quality of life. In the group receiving Thiotriazoline, the number of patients with II FC increased from 11 (42.3 %) to 14 (54 %), I FC – from 2 (9.5 %) to 6 (23 %) compared to the initial data due to patients from III FC and IV FC. The number of patients with III FC decreased to 2 (7.8 %) and IV FC – to 1 (3.8 %), and in the control group there was a slight negative dynamic (III FC – to 2 (9.5 %) and IV FC – without changes). The quality of life according to the Minnesota questionnaire indicated a positive trend. In group 1, the quality of life indicators improved from 71.1±1.8 to 53.3±0.6 points (p<0.01); in group 2 – from 67.9±1.9 to 63.3±1.9 points (p<0.05).

Conclusions. Thiotriazoline is a cytoprotector of the highest class, in particular, a myocardoprotector, which, when used (from 10 days in a hospital and then up to 1 month), improves the metabolism of the heart muscle, stabilizing intracellular mechanisms. Thiotriazoline is indicated for all patients with IHD who have suffered a myocardial infarction in the early stages of CHF.

Authors: Ikromov T. , Abdulaliev A.
Published: October 2020

Objective. To study the efficacy of sodium hypochlorite in children with urolithiasis complicated by chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Materials and methods. The results of the use of sodium hypochlorite 0.03-0.06 % in the pre- and postoperative period in 20 patients with urolithiasis complicated by stage IV CKD were analyzed. The indices of endogenous intoxication in venous cubital blood (VСK), mixed venous blood (MVB) flowing to the lungs and arterial blood (AB) flowing from the lungs were studied. Indirect electrochemical oxidation of blood (IEOB) was carried out in 20 patients with stage. For children under 12 years old, we used 0.03 %, and for the older age group from 12 to 18 years old ‒ 0.06 %, the volume of the injected solution did not exceed 1/10 of the patient’s CBV per infusion, at a rate of 40-60 drops/min. We have studied the use of sodium hypochloride (NaCIO) as a component of complex intensive care (CIC) in preoperative preparation in children with urolithiasis complicated by CKD and the effect of sodium hypochloride on detoxification lung function (DLF).

Results. There was a significant increase in low molecular weight toxic substances (creatinine, calurea), average mass molecules (AMM), lipid peroxidized products, oligopeptides of a high necrotic body mass (NB), circulating immune complex (CIC), integral indicators of toxicity leukocyte index of intoxication and index of intoxication, as well as a decrease in antioxidant protection, more pronounced at sub- and decompensated stages of DLF impairment in the examined group of patients before treatment in the basin of VKK, VCK and AB. In 7 (35.0 %) patients ‒ 1b compensated, in 13 (65.0 %) ‒ subcompensated stage of impairment.

Conclusions. CIC with the use of IEOB in the preoperative preparation by infusion of sodium hypochlorite in this subgroup of patients significantly improved DLF in relation to NB, CIC and high-weight oligopeptides. The use of NaCIO leads to inactivation of the entire spectrum of AMM and large toxic molecular compounds fixed on the membranes of blood corpuscles, and also, ensures the transformation of hydrophobic metabolites into hydrophilic ones, which are actively excreted by excretory organs.
STRUCTURAL SOLUTION AND METHOD OF CALCULATION OF GLUED LAMINATED TIMBER BEAM AND COLUMN JOINTS
Authors: Shekhorkina S. , Savytskyi M. , Kovtun-Gorbachova T.
Published: October 2020

The current trend in the construction industry is the development of projects of multi-storey buildings with a hybrid structural system using mainly timber load-bearing elements. The joints of load-bearing elements are criti-cal points of the frame with glued timber structures in terms of ensuring the load-bearing capacity and servicea-bility of the entire system. Existing publications in this area are mainly aimed at theoretical and experimental as-sessment of the stress-strain state of joints, while information on the construction of components for multi-storey buildings and recommendations for their design is extremely insufficient. The article presents structural solutions of the joints of glued laminated timber columns and beams, namely, hinged, which takes and transmits to the col-umn the support reaction of the beam, and rigid, which in addition to the support reaction takes the bending mo-ment. The support reaction from the beam to the column is transferred through a bolted connection and a T-shaped welded metal element. The bending moment is taken by two angles, which are fixed to the beam and welded to a vertical plate. Criteria of conformity of the proposed joints to load-bearing capacity requirements are pro-posed. The load-bearing capacity of the joint under the action of the support shear force is determined by the shear strength of the bolts in the column; the embedment strength of the metal of the T-shaped plate in the hole and bearing capacity of the bolted connection in the timber element. The action of the support bending moment requires the strength of the angles fastening to the beam and wood in the area of the bolts installation. A detailed algorithm for calculating the proposed design solutions in accordance with the requirements of the design stand-ards has been developed.

Keywords: joint, glued laminated timber, beam, column, bearing capacity.
THE STUDY OF LEVEL FORMATION AND DISCLOSURE OF NORMAL CRACKS IN REINFORCED CONCRETE ELEMENTS
Authors: Romashko-Maistruk O.
Published: October 2020

This article is devoted to the study of the main patterns of normal cracks multilevel formation in reinforced concrete elements and structures. A critical analysis of the latest publications related to the theme of these studies is carried out. The classification is carried out and the main shortcomings of the known works on the four identified areas of research are identified. The most important elements of the method of reinforced concrete beams experimental research are developed and briefly described. The main characteristics of the prototypes, the conditions for their manufacture and storage are given. The most important results of testing reinforced concrete beams, concerning the main parameters and characteristics of level formation and crack disclosure are highlighted. It was confirmed that the process of normal cracks formation is indeed multilevel and is accompanied by a gradual disruption of the bond between reinforcement and concrete. According to the results of experimental studies, it has been established that in the real design of bending reinforced concrete elements, when calculating their crack resistance, it is possible to restrict oneself to only 2 levels of normal cracking.
The calculation of the step and normal cracks opening width in beams research was carried out according to the real multilevel and traditional "one-level" schemes of their formation. These calculations were carried out according to the author's general and simplified methods, according to a method that uses a linear function of the average adhesion stresses of reinforcement with concrete, according to the methods of current domestic and European standards and building rules. Their statistical comparison with the experimental studies results confirmed the effectiveness of those calculation methods in which the crack formation step is directly related to the basic laws and parameters of reinforcement to concrete adhesion. The results of this comparison showed that the author's general method, based on the use of a nonlinear function of the reinforcement with concrete average adhesion stresses, turned out to be the most accurate.

SETTLEMENT TERRITORY AS A LEADING COMPONENT OF THE ECOLOGICAL FRAMEWORK OF A BIG CITY
Authors: Volkov V.
Published: October 2020

The formation of the ecological framework of the city determines its viability in general as a modern settlement structure that meets the requirements of sustainable development. In this case, the ecological framework of the city becomes the basis that will be able to form a single ecosystem of the city and establish a format of connections between its various elements. The purpose of the article was to determine the role of the settlement area in the formation of the ecological framework of a large city. This article identifies the role of residential areas in the formation of the ecological framework of the city. The author analyzes the concept of "ecological framework" and its compliance with the peculiarities of the urban structure. It was found that the ecological framework is mainly interpreted as a natural framework. In an urban environment, this leads to certain inconsistencies. The city also has its own spatial framework, which includes a number of properties and characteristics. Therefore, the author proposes to consider the ecological framework of large cities as a system of interaction of natural and urban frameworks. Establishing the right relationship between them will ensure compliance with the level of environmental safety in the city and its sustainable development. It was established that there is no understanding of the concept of ecological framework in the context of urbanization. Most authors consider the ecological framework exclusively as a natural framework of the territory, which is relevant for large areas outside large cities. It is proposed to take into account the peculiarities of the existence and development of the urban organism, which has its own structure, its own spatial framework. It is determined that the urban framework consists of elements of different functions, which are interconnected by a network of communications. All elements create a certain load on the natural structure of the territory (natural framework). It is proposed to consider the ecological framework of a large city as a combination of natural and urban framework. It is their rational combination that will help to improve the environmental situation as a whole and will meet the conditions of sustainable development of the city.

Seçimlerde Sınırlar: “Başarılı” Bir Stratejik Taksimat Örneği Olarak Defne İlçesi’nin Kurulması
Authors: DUMAN Levent
Published: October 2020

2012 yılında yürürlüğe giren 6360 Sayılı Kanun kapsamında 13 ilde büyükşehir belediyesi kurulurken bu illerde mevcut ilçelere ilave olarak 26 yeni ilçe kurulmuştur. Büyükşehir belediyesi kurulan illerden biri olan Hatay’da, bu kanun kapsamında yeni ilçeler de oluşturulmuştur. Hatay’da yeni kurulan ilçelerden biri olan Defne ilçesinin kurulması, yerel seçim sonuçlarını da kapsayan ancak bunun da ötesine geçen oldukça önemli tartışmaları beraberinde getirmiştir. Bu çalışmada, Antakya’dan ayrılarak Defne ilçesinin kurulması ve sınırlarının tespitinin, kanun tasarısını hazırlayan iktidar partisinin yerel seçimlere dair stratejisinin bir parçası olduğu öne sürülmektedir. Defne ilçesinin sınırlarının belirlenmesi süreci bir dizi siyasi beklentiler çerçevesinde şekillenmiştir. Bu beklentilerin en önemlisi, Hatay’ın büyükşehir olmasından sonra en büyük ilçe konumuna gelecek olan Antakya’nın belediye başkanlığını elde tutmaktır. Bu nedenle, Defne sınırları içerisine, stratejik taksimatın en yaygın biçimi olan istifleme yöntemi çerçevesinde iktidar partisine oy vermeyen insanların yaşadıkları bölgeler dahil edilmiştir. İstifleme Defne’de o kadar ileri boyutlarda gerçekleştirilmiştir ki, seçimlerde CHP’nin ve desteklediği adayların rekor düzeylerde oy oranlara ulaştığı bir ilçe konumuna gelmiştir. Defne ilçesinde istiflemenin yapılması neticesinde AKP’li adayların 2014 ve 2019 yerel seçimlerinde Antakya belediye başkanlığını kazanmaları mümkün olmuştur. Defne ilçesinin kurulması örneğinde de görüldüğü üzere, stratejik taksimat yerel seçimlerde de oldukça etkin biçimde kullanılabilmektedir.

Salgınlar tarih boyunca milyonların ölümü ile sonuçlanan, toplumlarda derin iz bırakan trajedilerdendir. İnsanlık tarihinde pek çok salgın hastalıkla mücadele edilmiştir. Tarihin farklı dönemlerinde patlak veren veba, salgınların en yıkıcılarındandır. Ressamlar, büyük kayıplara sebep olan trajedilere kayıtsız kalmamış ve tuvallerini bu acı olaylara çevirmişlerdir. Bu bakımdan eserlere kaynak teşkil eden sanatçı üretkenliğini etkileyen bazı özel olayların sanatçılar üzerinde meydana getirdiği etkilerden bahsetmek yanlış olmayacaktır. Çünkü insanların ruhlarındaki izler ve duygular nasıl hayatlarını etkiliyor ise sanatçıyı da yaşanan trajediler, geçmiş yaşantıların izleri yalnız bırakmayarak ve eserlerine yansımıştır. İnsanları ve tüm dünyayı ilgilendiren sorunlardan olan salgın hastalıklar sanatçıları da derinden etkileyen temalardan olarak ve tuvallerine yansımıştır. Ressamlar kendi trajedilerini ya da halkının yaşadığı trajedilere kayıtsız kalmamışlar ve sanat tarihine geçen çok sayıda eser üretmişlerdir. Salgın zamanlarında ressamların sanatçı perspektifi ile konunun vahametini gözler önüne sermenin yanında, toplumsal, dini, tıbbi perspektifle eserler üreterek içinde yaşadıkları topluma hizmet etmişlerdir.
Bu bağlamda dijital çağın yaşandığı modern dünyanın ortasına Orta Çağ kabusu gibi çöken Covid 19 salgınının da resim sanatına yansımalarını ilerleyen zamanlarda görmek mümkün olacaktır.
Bu makalede resim sanatına konu olan salgın resimleri ile birlikte Nedim Günsür’ün “Kızamık” isimli eseri incelenecektir.

Authors: AKMESE Halil , ILGAZ Ali
Published: October 2020

Recently, the world is facing a novel coronavirus. The virus, called Covid-19, which was first seen in Wuhan, China and started to spread rapidly to other countries, has come to a halt all around the world due to its high spreading rate and being a deadly virus. In the face of the situation that has turned into a universal public health crisis, some countries have reduced their commercial relations with other countries and even international travel restrictions have been introduced in many countries. Since almost all countries close their borders and stop international travel, international tourism activities have also lost their dynamism. In this study, the first effects of the novel coronavirus with tourism were tried to be determined. For this purpose, the count of foreign tourists coming to Hong Kong from some countries and continents in January 2020 was compared with the data of January of the last five years with the help of graphics. As a result of the research, it has been determined that the count of foreign tourists visiting Hong Kong in January 2020 has decreased significantly compared to January of the last five years.
Post-modern Dönemde Senaristin ve İzleyicinin Rolü: Yapay Zeka, İnteraktif Drama ve Sinemanın Geleceğine Dair Bir Öngörü
Authors: MURATOĞLU PEHLİVAN Bahar , TÜRKGELDİ Süleyman Kıvanç
Published: October 2020

Bu çalışmanın amacı, interaktif dramalardaki izleyici deneyimini ve gelecekte bu deneyimin yapay zeka tarafından yazılacak senaryolarla mümkün olup olamayacağını, post-modern dönemde yazarın otoritesinin sarsılması ve okurun / izleyicinin pasif konumundan çıkarak aktif bir rol üstlenmesi çerçevesinde tartışmaktır. Bu amaçla; ilk önce post-modern dönem, yazarın ölümü ve okurun doğumu tartışmaları aktarılmış; daha sonra interaktivite kavramı, interaktif drama, izleyicinin rolü ve doğrusal anlatılara kıyasla izleyici deneyimi tartışılmış; ardından da yapay zeka ve yaratıcılık üzerine olan literatüre yer verilmiştir. Söz konusu literatür ve tartışmalar çerçevesinde, yapay zekanın insan yaratıcılığına, bir başka deyişle insan yazımı senaryolara yakın bir üretim gerçekleştirip gerçekleştiremeyeceği ve eğer yapay zeka bunu başarabilirse, izleyicinin katılımcı konumuna geçerek, yapay zekanın ürettiği senaryolar üzerinden interaktif bir sinema deneyimi yaşayıp yaşayamayacağı tartışması üzerinde durulmuştur. Ayrıca bu deneyimin, yakın gelecekte, izleyicinin / katılımcının seçimlerine göre anlık senaryolar ve patikalar üretebilen ve bunları anlık olarak görselleştirebilen bir teknoloji sayesinde var olup olamayacağı; eğer böyle bir teknoloji mümkün olursa, ortaya çıkan eserin hala sinema olarak kabul edilip edilemeyeceği ve bu yeni türün post-modern okuma anlayışıyla bağlantısı tartışılmıştır.
The Nexus between Political Risks and Foreign Direct Investment: An Empirical Analysis for North African Countries
Authors: ÖZŞAHİN Cüneyt , ÖZŞAHİN Şerife
Published: October 2020

Drawing from the ICRG data set, this study aims to analyze the intricate linkage
between political risks and foreign direct investment via a number of control variables
including trade openness, the consumer price index and per capita GDP.  Since there has been
a paucity of research on certain determinants of FDI in the North African context, we
examine the impact of political risks on foreign direct investment inflows in six North African
countries covering the period 1996-2014 accounting for the presence of possible cross-
sectional dependence in the heterogeneous panel data. Whereas the results obtained from
Pedroni (1999) and Johansen-Fisher co-integration tests show that there is a long-run co-
integration relationship, coefficients obtained from the FM-OLS estimator indicate that a low
level of political risks has a positive impact on the foreign direct investment inflows, albeit
with some variation within select countries. The Canning and Pedroni (2008) causality test, on
the other hand, finds evidence that there is a causal relationship between political risks and
foreign direct investment for four countries (Algeria, Libya, Tunisia, and Egypt) in the
sample. Hence, the results suggest that political risks are significant determinants of foreign
direct investment for an array of countries in North Africa.
Ekstrak Daun Mengkudu dan Daun Pepaya Sebagai Larvasida Alami terhadap Kematian Larva Nyamuk Aedes Aegypti
Authors: Martias Indra , Simbolon Veronika Amelia
Published: October 2020

Penggunaan larvasida kimiawi yang digunakan untuk mengontrol aedes aegypti telah menimbulkan populasi yang resistensi, sehingga dibutuhkan dosis yang lebih tinggi. Namun hal ini memiliki efek toksik bagi manusia, hewan, serta lingkungan. Larvasida alami merupakan larvasida yang dibuat dari tanaman yang mempunyai kandungan beracun terhadap serangga pada stadium larva dan tidak menimbulkan efek samping terhadap lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kemampuan dari ekstrak daun mengkudu, daun papaya dan kombinasi keduanya dalam mengendalikan larva Aedes aegypti. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah eksperimental laboratorium dengan desain Rancangan Acak Kelompok (RAK). Objek penelitian adalah larva Aedes aegypti sebanyak 400 larva. Uji dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok dengan dua kali pengulangan. Analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis univariat dan bivariat. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan jumlah kematian larva pada pengulangan I dan II  sedangkan rata-rata PH air, suhu air dan kelembaban udara tidak menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan. Disimpulkan bahwa kombinasi ekstrak daun mengkudu dan daun pepaya lebih efektif sebagai larvasida alami untuk kematian larva Aedes. Disarankan melakukan analisis probit untuk mendapatkan nilai toksisitas (daya racun) terhadap serangga percobaan dan pengujian terhadap insektisida kimiawi sebagai pembanding (kontrol) terhadap insektisida alami.

Objectives: To find out the better treatment option between semi rigid ureteroscopy with ICPL and ESWL for upper ureteric calculi. To compare stone free rate, complications and re treatment between ureterolithotripsy and ESWL in upper ureteric calculi.
Materials and Method: This prospective comparative study was conducted in the department of urology BSMMU and Kidney and urology hospital, Dhaka from June 2009 to May 2010. Fifty patients were enrolled and 25 on each group as ESWL and ICPL Inclusion criteria was adult patients with single radiopaque stone of 06-15 mm, and no obstruction distal to stone. We exclude Stone size > 1.5cm, PUJ stone, patients with DJ stent and nephrostomies, infection, pregnancy, hemostatic, disorders, and morbid obesity. Identified postoperative urological complications pain, haematuria, fever, stone migration, obstruction, infections, and postoperative hospital stays recorded accordingly. X- ray KUB and in some cases ultrasound of kidney ureter and bladder with prostate with PVR were done. Those with residual calculi sized less than 2 mm were considered stone free. Those patients whom stone not cleared or stone migrated they again sent for ESWL or ureterolithotripsy. Stone free patient of ureterolithotripsy sent for removal of Double J stent under local anesthesia at 4 weeks.
Results: Three months postoperatively, 21 out of 25 Patients (85%) in the ureterolithotripsy group were stone free. In ureterolithotripsy group, all failures were due to upward calculus migration. After calculus migration, this was mandated double- J stenting and send for ESWL. These patients were referred for ESWL, all of whom were stone free after this procedure. DJ stent removed under local anesthesia. 22 out of 25 Patients (88%) in the ESWL group were stone free and 10 patients need two sessions. Re-ESWL had done after 3 weeks. All failures in ESWL group were due to hard in constancy and small stone size. Failed cases were referred for ureterolithotripsy and DJ stenting, all of whom were stone free after this procedure. Using statistical data by chi square test and analytical test level of significance as set at 0.05 and p< 0.05 was consider significant.
Conclusion: Upper ureteral calculi up to 1.5 cm can be safely and effectively managed by using semi rigid ureteroscopy and pneumatic lithotripsy. However, the ESWL approach has still its role in treating upper ureteric calculi. Finally, postoperative home rest in the ESWL group was more due to the repeated treatment.

Authors: Islam Md Shariful , Alam Md Shawkat , Kamal AHM Mostofa , Md Asaduzzamman - , Quddus Md Ruhul
Published: October 2020

Purpose: To evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of one-shot dilation (OSD) in percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL).
Materials and Methods: In a prospective randomised study including 62 patients divided into two groups, the first had RD before PCNL using the standard metallic telescopic dilators (Alken), and the second had RD using the 30-F Amplatz dilator over the central Alken dilator. The operative duration, with X-ray exposure, was calculated. The procedure outcome in terms of complications, stone-free rates and hospital stay was evaluated statistically.
Results : The tract was dilated correctly in all cases. The operative duration and X-ray exposure was shorter in patients undergoing single-step RD (P < 0.05). There were perioperative complications, according to the Clavien grading system, in 15 (25%) patients but there was no statistically significant difference between the groups. The stone-free rates were comparable in both groups.
Conclusion : A single-step RD during PCNL is feasible, with a shorter operative duration and X-ray exposure. The outcomes were comparable with those of a standard metallic telescopic RD

Published: October 2020

Objectives: To find out the efficacy of post TURBT immediate single dose adjuvant intravesical Mitomycin C therapy in comparison with multi-dose regimen of Mitomycin C therapy in the management of superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder.
Methods: Total 76 patients of bladder mass were included in the study who had undergone transurethral resection followed by immediate single instillation of Mitomycin C. After availability of histopathological examination report of resected tumor, those fulfill the selection criteria were randomized into two groups. One group (Group A) was the odd numbers of the patients who already received immediate single intravesical instillation of Mitomycin C and another group (Group B) even number of the patients who received single dose of intravesical instillation of Mitomycin C immediately with additional 5 instillations (1 week interval for 5 weeks) and in whom prospective follow-up could be completed within next 12 months
Results: The effect of single intravesical instillation of 40 mg of Mitomycin C (Group A) within 24 hours of TURBT with that of multiple doses (six doses) of Mitomycin C (Group B) in similar dose was insignificant.
Conclusion: The efficacy of MMC single dose was similar to MMC multi-dose regimen with insignificant difference of side effect among the two groups (0% versus 6.25%).
