Authors: Gani M. Ulum , Widodo Widodo
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v6i4.130Activated carbon made from Tanjung Tabalong coal was investigated its absorption capability to organic and inorganic elements in industrial waste. Coal was carbonized at low temperature of 600C to produce semicoke, and then was activated at temperature of 700C with activation time of 120 minutes with water steam flow. The absorption capability of activated carbon to chemical oxygen demand (COD) was performed using 2.5 and 9.0 g activated carbon for 250 ml and 300 ml COD waste respectively. The agitation time of each experiment were 30, 60, and 90 minutes. Atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) was used to analyze the COD waste. The result shows that 2.5 g activated carbon could absorb COD waste ranging from 6.9-67.5 %, while the utilization of 9 g could absorb COD waste ranging from 88.9 - 100 %. The more activated carbon and the longer time of agitation used in this experiment, the more the absorption of COD waste.
3-D Imaging of Cleat and Micro-cleat Characteristics, South Walker Creek Coals, Bowen Basin, Australia: Microfocus X-ray Computed Tomography Analysis
Authors: Permana Asep Kurnia
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v7i1.131The Permian coals of the South Walker Creek area have a moderately to highly developed cleat system. The cleat fractures are well developed in both bright and dull bands, and generally parallel, inclined or perpendicular to the bedding planes of the seam, with the spaces open or filled by mineral matter, such as clay and carbonate minerals. Microfocus X-ray computed tomography (CT) technique was performed to identify cleat characteristics in the coal seams. This technique allows visualizing of microcleat distribution and mineralization in three dimensional images. Cleat mineralization in the coal seam occurs either as single mineral (monomineralic) or intermixed mineral (polymineralic) masses. The cross cutting relationship was shown by X-ray CT scan analysis. The timing of microcleat formation in the coal seam from early to late is carbonate minerals, clay minerals (kaolinite) plus minor high density (rutile or anatase) phases. Thus, a high resolution of microfocus X-ray CT does not only provides a better visualization, but also could identify microcleat orientation, cleat mineralization, and generation of microcleat.
Nose Structure Delineation of Bouguer Anomaly as the Interpretation Basis of Probable Hydrocarbon Traps: A Case Study on the Mainland Area of Northwest Java Basin
Authors: Kamtono Kamtono , Wardhana D. D.
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v7i3.144Two important aspects in the exploration of oil and gas are technology and exploration concepts, but the use of technology is not always suitable for areas with geological conditions covered by young volcanic sediments or limestone. The land of the Northwest Java Basin is mostly covered by young volcanic products, so exploration using seismic methods will produce less clear image resolution. To identify and interpret the subsurface structure and the possibility of hydrocarbon trap, gravity measurements have been carried out. Delineation of nose structures of a Bouguer anomaly map was used to interpret the probability of hydrocarbon traps. The result of the study shows that the gravity anomalies could be categorized into three groups : low anomaly (< 34 mgal), middle anomaly (34 - 50 mgal), and high anomaly (> 50 mgal). The analysis of Bouguer anomaly indicates that the low anomaly is concentrated in Cibarusa area as a southern part of Ciputat Subbasin, and in Cikampek area. The result of delineation of the Bouguer anomaly map shows the nose structures existing on Cibinong-Cileungsi and Pangkalan-Bekasi Highs, while delineation of residual anomaly map shows the nose structures occurs on Cilamaya-Karawang high. Locally, the gas fields of Jatirangon and Cicauh areas exist on the flank of the nose structure of Pangkalan-Bekasi High, while the oil/gas field of Northern Cilamaya is situated on the flank of the nose structure of Cilamaya-Karawang High. The concept of fluid/gas migration concentrated on nose structures which are delineated from gravity data can be applied in the studied area. This concept needs to be tested in other oil and gas field areas.
Melanic and Fulvic Andisols in Volcanic Soils derived from some Volcanoes in West Java
Authors: Devnita Rina
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v7i4.149Melanic and fulvic Andisols are the great groups in the classification of volcanic soils Andisols, which describe the soils with high organic carbon content in the epipedon. The organic C must be more than 6% in the upper 30 cm with the value and chroma are 2 or less for melanic and more than 2 for fulvic. Melanic epipedon also has to have the melanic index that is 1.70 or less. The objective of this study is to investigate the melanic and fulvic Andisols in volcanic soils that developed under pine forest vegetation (Pinus merkusii) from different parent materials and ages of Mount Tangkuban Parahu (andesitic, Holocene) and Mount Tilu (basaltic, Pleistocene). The method used was a descriptive comparative survey of three profiles in Mount Tangkuban Parahu and three profiles in Mount Tilu. Analyses were done for each horizon in the profiles comprising the investigation of andic soil properties through the analyses of organic C, bulk density, Al + ½ Fe (ammonium oxalate), and P-retention. The investigations were continued by further calculation of organic C content and by investigation of soil colour with Munsell Soil Colour Chart. The results showed that the two profiles in Mount Tangkuban Parahu and two profiles in Mount Tilu are fulvic Andisol. No melanic Andisols were found in both locations. Pine forest vegetation encourages the formation of fulvic Andisols were derived from andesitic-Holocene parent materials or basaltic-Pleistocene parent materials.
The Potential of Eocene Shale of Nanggulan Formation as a Hydrocarbon Source Rock
Authors: Winardi S. , Toha B. , Imron M. , Amijaya D. H.
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v8i1.152In western Indonesia, Eocene shale is generally considered as a potential source rock. The Nanggulan Formation outcropping at Kulonprogo Yogyakarta consists of a shale interval of Eocene in age. Analysis of its organic material content, kerogen type, and maturity level were conducted to know its potential. The laboratory analysis of eleven samples were done to measure its TOC content. Samples with TOC > 0.5% then were analyzed to measure its Rv and TAI. Maturity level was also calculated by TTI from burial history model. The result of analysis shows there are various TOC contents and seven samples of them are categorized into a good-excellent class (TOC > 1%). Kerogen content of those samples is type III (non fluorescene amorphous-humic kerogen). One sample has a good indication of hydrocarbon formation (PY = 9.0 mg HC/g rock). Unfortunately thermal maturity level of the samples is immature (highest Rv 0.39, Tmax 422oC, and TAI 2). Otherwise, TTI calculation result from subsurface burial history modelling indicates that some areas are mature having reached gas window since 0.4 mya, especially in the area which had been influenced by a volcanic intrusion at Oligocene (28.5 mya). Therefore, the Nanggulan Formation shale has a potential capacity as a source rock with some limitation in maturity level.
Maceral Characteristics and Vitrinite Reflectance Variation of The High Rank Coals, South Walker Creek, Bowen Basin, Australia
Authors: Permana Asep K. , Ward C. R. , Gurba L. W.
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v8i2.156The Permian coals of the South Walker Creek area, with a vitrinite reflectance (Rvmax) of 1.7 to 1.95% (low-volatile bituminous to semi-anthracite), are one of the highest rank coals currently mined in the Bowen Basin for the pulverized coal injection (PCI) market. Studies of petrology of this coal seam have identified that the maceral composition of the coals are dominated by inertinite with lesser vitrinite, and only minor amounts of liptinite. Clay minerals, quartz, and carbonates can be seen under the optical microscope. The mineral matter occurs in association with vitrinite and inertinite macerals as syngenetic and epigenetic mineral phases. The irregular pattern of the vitrinite reflectance profile from the top to the bottom of the seam may represent a response in the organic matter to an uneven heat distribution from such hydrothermal influence. Examination of the maceral and vitrinite reflectance characteristics suggest that the mineralogical variation within the coal seam at South Walker Creek may have been controlled by various geological processes, including sediment input into the peat swamp during deposition, mineralogical changes associated with the rank advance process or metamorphism, and/or hydrothermal effects due to post depositional fluid migration through the coal seam.
Morphostructural Development of Gunungsewu Karst, Jawa Island
Authors: Tjia H. D.
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v8i2.157Gunungsewu Karst (also known as Sewu karst in the literature) is synonymous with morphology of a carbonate terrain dominated by hills crowned by accordant-level tops that developed in a humid tropical environment by comparatively more rapid dissolution and denudation. In addition, the hills are sinoid to cone-shaped. Surface drainage is negligible compared to subsurface water flow. Abandoned channel segments and spatial arrangements of karst hills have been found to correspond with fracture patterns that are genetically associated with the regional compression direction of Jawa Island. Images derived from space platforms show many landform patterns that were neither known from ground-based nor from aerial photograph study. Landforms arranged in ring, multi-ring, spiral, polygonal, and long linear to serpentine patterns are common beside the expected depressions of dolines, poljes, and uvalas. The orientations of the long linear ridges appear to change systematically from those near the coast to those located inland. These linear ridges are interpreted as depositional fronts, most likely representing breaker zones. The youngest depositional ridge fronts, located nearest to the present shoreline, are parallel to the geological strike of Jawa Island. Toward the island’s interior, linear depositional fronts deviate in orientation by as much as 40o. This is now interpreted to have resulted from counterclockwise rotation of the Gunungsewu microplate since the late Middle Miocene. Similar CCW rotations are indicated by the paleomagnetic orientations of igneous rocks located farther east in the southern range of the island. Active tectonics is expressed in stage-wise net uplift of Gunungsewu whereas regional tilting appears negligible. Stacked and often paired river terraces (thus suggesting land uplift) have been used to relatively date paleoarcheological finds. Very recent uplift on the coast show up in lazy-V limestone notch profiles, and occasionally by stacked notches. At the Klayar coast, slight northward tilt of a few degrees are expressed as counter-regional inclination of a subrecent abrasion platform.
Hotwater Geochemistry for Interpreting The Condition of Geothermal Reservoir, Dieng Plateau Case, Banjarnegara-Wonosobo Regency, Central Java
Authors: Ramadhan Yuris , Channel K. , Herdianita N. R.
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v8i2.158The researched area, located in the Dieng Plateau, is included into the Holocene Dieng Volcanic Rock Unit. The regional structure in this area is originated from the major caldera with local fault having orientation of SE - NW. Surface manifestations found in the researched area are hot springs located in Bitingan, Sileri, Siglagah, Pulosari, Kaliputih, and Sikidang. Fumaroles occur in Candradimuka and Pagerkandang and mud pools are located in Sileri and Sikidang craters. Temperatures of the hot springs ranges from 43 C to 61 C, pH of 6 - 7, and their conductivity are of 38-78 MeV. The type of hotwater is a mixture of bicarbonate, sulfate, and chloride sulfate deriving from condensation of steam. Based on a relative composition of Cl-Li-B, the hot water is originated from four different reservoirs with different rock associations, while their reservoir temperatures vary from 225 C to 300 C.
Characteristics and Origin of Sedimentary-Related Manganese Layers in Timor Island, Indonesia
Authors: Idrus Arifudin , Ati E. M. , Harijoko A. , Meyer F. M.
Published: March 2024

DOI: 10.17014/ijog.v8i4.169Sedimentary-related manganese layers have been discovered in South Central Timor Regency, Timor Island, Indonesia, which is tectonically active and being uplifted due to north-trending tectonic collision between Timor Island arc and Australian continental crust. The manganese layers of 2 to 10 cm-wide interbed with deep sea sedimentary rocks including reddish - reddish brown claystone, radiolarian chert, slate, marl as well as white and pinkish calcilutite of Nakfunu Formations. Stratigraphically, the rock formations are underlain by Bobonaro Formation. Two types of manganese ores found comprise manganese layers and manganese nodule. The manganese layers strongly deformed, lenticular, and segmented, are composed of manganite [MnO(OH)], groutite [MnO(OH)], pyrolusite (MnO2), lithioporite (Al,Li) MnO2(OH)2, and hollandite [Ba (Mn4+, Mn2+)8O16] associated with gangue minerals including calcite, quartz, limonite [FeO(OH)], hematite (Fe2O3), and barite (BaSO4). Whilst the nodule type is only composed of manganite and less limonite. Geochemically, the manganese layers have grade of 63 - 72 wt.% MnO, whereas the nodule one has grade of 63 - 69 wt.% MnO. Generally, iron in Mn ore is very low ranging from 0.2 to 1.54 wt.% Fe2O3, averaged 0.76 wt.%. Hence, Fe/Mn ratio which is very low (0.003 - 0.069), typically indicates a sedimentary origin, which is also supported by petrologic and petrographic data showing layering structure of manganite and lithioporite crystal/grain. Trace element geochemistry indicates that manganese ore was precipitated in a reduction condition. Rare earth element (REE) analysis of manganese ore shows an enrichment of cerium (Ce) suggesting that the ore is basically originated in a marine environment. The manganese nodule is interpreted to be formed by chemical concretion process of unsoluble metals (i.e. mangan, iron) in seawater (hydrogenous) and precipitated on deep sea bottom. On the other hand, the manganese layer is a detrital diagenetic deposit formed by Mn remobilization in seawater column, precipitated and sedimented on the deep sea bottom. Manganese layers have probably been influenced by ‘hydrothermal process’ of mud-volcano activities, proven by the presence of quartz and barite veinlets cutting the Mn layers, manganite recrystallization to be pyrolusite along veinlets cutting manganite and lithioporite layers, and the presence of pyrite and sulphur associated with Mn layers. Field data also exhibit that the significant manganese layers are mostly found around mud volcanoes. The closely spatial and genetic relationships between manganese layers and mud-volcanoes might also be an important guide for the exploration of Mn deposit in the region.

Divergencias y convergencias en el uso de redes sociales por parte de periodistas y gestores en emergencias sanitarias y catástrofes naturales
Authors: Tulloch Christopher D. , Cuartielles Roger , Sánchez-Calero Mª Luisa
Published: March 2024

Este estudio analiza las dinámicas de uso que periodistas y gestores de crisis realizan de las redes sociales en la cobertura de emergencias sanitarias y catástrofes naturales con el objetivo de identificar puntos de convergencia y divergencia entre ambos colectivos, teniendo en cuenta que la literatura académica revela que en situaciones críticas ambos pueden presentar actitudes contrapuestas fruto de su rol profesional. La investigación emplea entrevistas en profundidad tanto a reporteros como gestores que han lidiado con situaciones de crisis relevantes acontecidas en España en la última década, tales como el brote de Listeriosis en Andalucía en 2019; las lluvias torrenciales en el Mediterráneo en 2020; la erupción del volcán en La Palma en 2021 o la pandemia de Covid-19. El estudio también incorpora los resultados de un coloquio abierto entre miembros de ambos colectivos para contrastar percepciones. Los resultados concluyen que Twitter es la red de uso más habitual para periodistas y gestores en situaciones de crisis, aunque se detectan ambivalencias en su empleo, así como en la selección de otras plataformas complementarias como pueden ser Facebook e Instagram. La investigación también muestra fricciones entre periodistas y gestores a la hora de valorar la desintermediación comunicativa que prestan las redes sociales.
Global vocabulary and regional divides: representations of the environmental crisis of young adults in Ireland and Uruguay
Authors: Gómez Márquez María Victoria
Published: March 2024

A triple environmental crisis marks the current century: the climate, biodiversity and pollution emergencies that challenge¡ societies around the world and require global dialogue. Consequently, it seems worth assessing across international strata, whether young adults living in different regions would share social representations of the environmental crisis. Built on findings from 16 focus group discussions held in Ireland and Uruguay, comprising 109 participants, the objective of this article is to uncover and compare between countries: which environmental issues remain crucial for young citizens of diverse backgrounds and affiliations; how coincidental issues of concern are articulated across countries; and how structural factors are perceived as key to an environmentally unsustainable system. Let alone the case of Climate Change, the main findings point to shared topics of concern, such as Waste Generation and Disposal or Food Production and Consumption, with contrasting social representations of them between the two regions, which shed light on how environmental risk is socially built in dialogue with the context despite global discursive trends, in a highly mediatized and glocal era. Unlike university students focused studies, the paper offers a qualitative approach to the perceptions of young adults of diverse backgrounds in both countries.

CLOCK AND LEVEL OF FEASIBILITY OF CIHAMPELAS ROAD, BANDUNG CITY
Authors: Tanzil Keng Sukaria
Published: March 2024

Jalan Cihampelas, Bandung city was originally one of the roads that connected the northern area of Bandung city or the Lembang sub-district city to the center of Bandung city. Initially, the area on the right and left of the road was an area used as a residence. The development of the area to the right and left of the road has changed its function to become a commercial area, the change in function can be seen in the presence of malls, offices, pools, travel, hotels, restaurants, shops public areas with the construction of shopping and culinary areas on the road called Teras Cihampelas. With all this increased activity, congestion often occurs which is caused by, among other things, the wide capacity of the road which cannot accommodate the increasing number of vehicles passing through it and the queues of vehicles that will park and the disorder of public vehicles picking up and dropping off passengers. The purpose of this study is to determine the feasibility of the Cihampelas road with the development of the surrounding area, using the data observation method and testing the level of traffic service on the Cihampelas road. From the results of this study, it can be said that the Cihampelas road in the city of Bandung is not prepared to become a road with a large commercial area and is no longer suitable as a connecting road between cities or sub-city areas.

Effect of Cognitive Processing Style on Attentional Blink during Analogue Trauma
Authors: Son Ye Ji , Choi Yun-Kyeung
Published: March 2024

Background: This study attempted to examine the impact of each cognitive processing style (bottom-up, top-down) on attention patterns following a traumatic experience by measuring attentional blink (AB).Methods: Participants were 37 university students with no direct experience of traffic accidents. They were randomly assigned to either a single-task (bottom-up processing) group or a dual-task (top-down processing) group, who performed the Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP) after watching an analogue trauma video. The correct response rate to target stimuli was then compared between groups based on stimulus type and stimulus presentation interval.Results: In the dual-task group, no significant differences were found. However, in the single-task group, a trend towards a decrease in the correct response rate to the target stimulus was observed 200 ms after the presentation of the traumatic stimulus (i.e., AB).Conclusions: This tendency can be explained by the phenomenon of automatic attentional capture by traumatic stimuli, suggesting a relationship between bottom-up processing and attentional bias.
Community-Based Psychiatric Care Provision in Hungary: Trends and Steps towards Progress
Authors: Bulyáki Tünde , Wernigg Robert , Kéri Péter , Ács Andrea , Slezák Adrienn , Bodrogi Andrea , Harangozó Judit
Published: March 2024

Psychiatric care has undergone several cycles of profound changes in the past centuries all over the world. In Hungary, community-based outpatient care has been showing signs of evolution since the 1950s. Initially, the system centered on assertive outreach and family involvement, especially for those with serious mental health problems. Such services remain available throughout the country, but the emphasis in the past decades has shifted towards mass care provision. In many places, community-based services are no longer provided, and where they are the approach is biomedical and less asuming of recovery. In other centers, the services provided are conceived with the eventuality of rehabilitation in mind and in close cooperation with community-based care providers.
Community-based services providers, as part of the social fabric, offer as many psychiatric and rehabilitation services as possible for those with mental disorders within their communities. The main objective of community-based care is to achieve community re-integration and recovery from mental disorders. Today in Hungary, deinstitutionalisation and the introduction of community-based psychiatric care have been adopted even by large inpatient institutions. The replacement of institutional bed space and the provision of subsidised housing further underscore the importance of community-based psychiatric care provision. There is the opinion that, as a further course of development, the emphasis needs to now shift towards the nurturing of a community of experienced experts and creastion of user-led programs. In this new paradigm, the ability of a person with a mental disorder to make decisions and the bolstering of that ability are seen as vital. In order to achieve these objectives, it is essential that health and social seervices professionals cooperate. Hands-on experience is key in the provision and development of such services.

Published: March 2024

BACKGROUND: Self-stigma remains one of the most vexing issues in psychiatry. It complicates the treatment and social functioning of patients with endogenous psychiatric disorders. Identifying the specific features of self-stigma depending on the type and duration of the endogenous mental illness can help solve this problem.
AIM: The aim of this study was to establish the level and specific features of self-stigma in patients with various types of chronic endogenous psychiatric disorders at different disease stages and to establish the correlation between the level of self-stigma and the attitude of the patient to his/her disease and treatment.
METHODS: Clinical psychopathology assessment, psychometric scales and questionnaires: “Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale” (PANSS), “Questionnaire for Self-Stigma Assessment in Mentally Ill Patients”, and Russian versions of the “Insight Scale for Psychosis” (ISP), and “Drug Attitude Inventory” (DAI-10). The cross-sectional study included 86 patients with endogenous mental illnesses (bipolar affective disorder and schizophrenia spectrum disorders.
RESULTS: The analysis of the results of the “Questionnaire for Self-Stigma Assessment in Mentally Ill Patients” showed that at the initial disease stages the highest level of self-stigma is observed in patients with bipolar affective disorder (M±σ=1.22±0.73; Me [Q1; Q3]=1.10 [0.83; 1.60]), while the lowest level was observed in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (M±σ=0.86±0.53; Me [Q1; Q3]=0.77 [0.31; 1.25]). Patients with schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder and a disease duration more than five years participating in a long-term comprehensive psychosocial rehabilitation program also demonstrated high rates of self-stigma (M±σ=1.20±0.57, Me [Q1; Q3]=1.26 [0.89; 1.47]). The study groups showed differences in terms of the structure of components of self-stigma and their severity; significant correlations were uncovered between the self-stigma parameters and the attitude of patients to their disease and therapy.
CONCLUSION: The results of this study contribute to a better understanding of the specific features of self-stigma in patients with various endogenous disorders at different stages of the disease. These data can be used as part of a comprehensive psychosocial treatment program for this patient cohort, as well as for future research.
Assessment of fetal resistance to hypoxia using the Stange test as an adjunct to Apgar scale assessment of neonatal health status
Authors: Shabanov Petr D. , Urakov Aleksandr L. , Urakova Natalya A.
Published: March 2024

It has been established that the cause of biological death of fetuses in stillbirths and the cause of neonatal encephalopathies in live births is hypoxic brain cell damage in fetuses. Timely cesarean section remains the most effective way to preserve fetal life and health in the face of lethal intrauterine hypoxia. However, there is no universally recognized methodology for assessing fetal adaptation reserves to hypoxia and no methodology for selecting the type of delivery in order to perform a timely cesarean section if necessary. The Apgar score, which has been used since 1952, allows assessment of neonatal health at 1 and 5 minutes after birth, but this assessment is made without taking into account the health of the fetus before delivery. In recent years, it has been established that the outcome of fetal hypoxia is determined not only by its duration, but also by the amount of adaptive reserves available in the fetus to hypoxia. It was found that the duration of fetal immobility during apnea of a pregnant woman is an indicator of fetal resistance to hypoxia. In 2011, a method of assessing fetal resistance to intrauterine hypoxia based on the Stange test was developed in Russia. It has been found that the maximum duration of fetal immobility during maternal apnea is normally more than 30 seconds, while in the presence of fetal signs of fetoplacental insufficiency it does not reach 30 seconds, and in the presence of signs of severe fetoplacental insufficiency it does not reach 10 seconds. Therefore, it was proposed to consider good fetal resistance to hypoxia as an indication for vaginal delivery, and poor fetal resistance to hypoxia as an indication for cesarean section. A technique for assessing fetal resistance to hypoxia is described that has been developed for independent use by every pregnant woman. It is shown that it is sufficient for her to have a stopwatch and to be able to record the maximum period of fetal immobility during voluntary apnea. It is hoped that a measure of fetal resistance to hypoxia could be a meaningful complement to the Apgar score of neonatal health. It is envisioned that the use of a modified Stange test could help physicians prevent stillbirths and neonatal encephalopathies.

BACKGROUND: It was found that new derivatives of acexamic acid — N-acetyl-6-aminohexanoate of silver and 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridinium N-acetyl-6-aminohexanoate stimulate regeneration and mineralization of bone tissues in osteoporosis. However, to date, the effect of 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridinium N-acetyl-6-aminohexanoate on the features of reparative histogenesis and the relationship of its stages with the levels of growth factors in regenerating tissues during skin restoration after thermal burn has not been studied.
AIM: To estimate the morphology dynamics of skin burn healing and its relationship with the levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and basic fibroblast growth factor growth factors in rat regenerating tissues to characterize the reparative properties of 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridinium N-acetyl-6-aminohexanoate.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 63 nonlinear rats were used to establish thermal burn wound model according to standard methodics. Burn wounds of the experimental group animals were treated with 2% ointment of 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridinium N-acetyl-6-aminohexanoate daily, control group 1 — the burns were not treated, control group 2 — ointment base was applied daily. Morphological examinations of regenerating tissues from the burn area were carried out on days 7, 14 and 21 of the experiment after standard sample preparation. The concentrations of growth factors in homogenates of regenerating tissues were determined by Enzyme Immunoassay.
RESULTS: The inflammation phase is characterized by vascular endothelial growth factor active production and release from cells and morphologically accompanied by early neovasculogenesis in granulation tissue and significant differences in its thickness in rats of the experimental group. During the proliferation phase, activation of fibroblast reproduction and differentiation was associated with an increase in basic fibroblast growth factor levels and the maintenance of elevated vascular endothelial growth factor levels in all groups, especially high in experimental group rats. The epithelialization phase was accompanied by a statistically significant decrease in the content of basic fibroblast growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor in regenerating skin tissues by 1.9 and 1.8 times, respectively, in comparison with the control groups.
CONCLUSIONS: The obtained experimental data indicate 2% ointment with 2-ethyl-6-methyl-3-hydroxypyridinium N-acetyl-6-aminohexanoate has a reparative potential, as evidenced by the accelerated reduction both the area of burn defects and the average time for their healing in the experimental group compared to the control groups.

Medinetü’l-Fâzıla Ekseninde Devlet/Utopia Toplum Tasarısı

Published: March 2024

Hakikatte var olmayan (Antik Yunancada) “ou” ve şehir, mekân anlamında ‘‘topos‘’ sözcüklerinin birleşiminden meydana gelmekle birlikte, ‘iyi’ manasında ‘eu’ ile “o yer” manasında “topos’un” birleşiminden meydana gelen ‘iyi yer’ anlamında “eutopia” sözcüğüne de atıfta bulunulmaktadır”. Utopia, kelimesini literatüre kazandıran More’un eseri birçok filozofun düşünce dünyasına götürmüştür. Başta Platon’un Devlet eserine götürmüştür. Platon’un meşhur kitabı Thomas More’u etkilemekle birlikte kendisinden sonra gelen birçok düşünürü de etkilemiştir. İslâm medeniyetinde bu ideal düzene örnek başta el-Medinetü’l-Fâzıla eseri filozof Fârâbî’nin edebi ve siyasi kavramlar olarak günümüze ulaşmıştır.
Yeni bir mekân hayaliyle yola çıkan bu idealist eserlerde başlangıç noktası adâlet, ideal bir devlet ve toplum düşüncesi ile elde bulunmayan şeylerin bir betimlemesi yapılmaktadır. Reformist bakış açısı ile düşünürün dönemine farkında olarak yeniliğe yüzünü çevirmiş olması Devlet’in ütopyalar için biri, alışılagelmiş yaşam şartlarından daha güzelini gördüğü zaman bunu kabul etmeyebilir. Çünkü güneşi ilk defa görmüş biri ışığa çok zor çıkar ve çıkınca uzun süre güneşe alışmakta zorluk çeker.

Published: March 2024

Bu çalışmanın amacı Sağlık Bakanlığı’na bağlı bir il sağlık müdürlüğünde görev yapan personelin örgütsel erdemlilik ile işe angaje olma algıları arasındaki ilişkide benlik saygısının aracı role sahip olup olmadığını test etmektir. Araştırmanın evrenini, Sağlık Bakanlığı’na bağlı bir il sağlık müdürlüğünde görev yapan personel oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmanın örneklemini ise kolayda örnekleme yöntemi ile veri toplanan personel oluşturmaktadır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda; örgütsel erdemlilik ile işe angaje olma arasında pozitif yönlü düşük düzeyde, işe angaje olma arasında pozitif yönlü orta düzeyde; benlik saygısı ile işe angaje olma arasında ise pozitif yönlü orta düzeyde bir ilişki olduğu hesaplanmıştır. Yapılan regresyon analizi sonucunda; örgütsel erdemlilik hem işe angaje olmayı hem de benlik saygısını; benlik saygısı ise işe angaje olmayı istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir şekilde etkilemektedir. Çalışmanın en önemli bulgusu örgütsel erdemliliğin işe angaje olma üzerindeki etkisinde benlik saygısının aracı rolü vardır. Amprik olan bu araştırmanın bulgularına göre; çalışanlar arasında, saygı, dürüstlük, güven, hakkaniyet, nezaket gibi erdemli davranışların hâkim olduğu örgütlerde, benlik saygısı ve işe angaje/cezb olmaya yönelik algılar artacaktır. Kamu özel ayrımı olmaksızın insan ögesinin olduğu tüm sosyo teknik örgütlerde, insan davranış ve eylemlerinin nedenini anlamak için davranışın kaynağı olan insanın gözlenmesi ve anlaşılması önem arz etmektedir.
Long-Term Care Determinants in Türkiye: Analyzing A Comprehensive Range of Variables
Authors: Tirgil Abdullah , Vidinel Dilruba
Published: March 2024

By 2050, one in ten people in OECD countries will be 80 aged or older. The aging population will have several impacts on countries, such as increased demand for healthcare and social services, a smaller workforce, and a growing dependency ratio. Türkiye relies heavily on family members to provide long-term care (LTC) for their elderly. In this paper, we study the relationship between a comprehensive range of demographic and socioeconomic variables and informal long-term caregiving using the Turkish Statistical Institute’s Time Use Survey, a nationally representative micro dataset. Employing a multivariate regression analysis, we find that women are more likely to provide unpaid informal caregiving, albeit lacking strong statistical significance. The findings also reveal that being married and older are significant predictors of providing informal LTC. In contrast, we find no significant evidence that income level and house characteristics are crucial determinants of informal LTC. The findings of this study have a number of important policy implications for future practice, such as investing in healthcare and social services and developing policies to encourage LTC workforce participation.

Özellikle son yıllarda finansal piyasalarda fiyatların oluşumu, tahmin edilebilirliği ve yatırımcı davranışları finans literatürünün en ilgi çeken konularından biri konumundadır. Yatırımcı psikolojisinin yatırımlar üzerindeki etkilerinin en net gözlemlenebildiği piyasalardan biri de kripto para piyasalarıdır. Bu çalışma, kripto para piyasasında yatırımcı duyarlılığının temel göstergelerinden biri olarak kabul edilen kripto korku ve açgözlülük endeksi ile G7 ülkelerinin finansal piyasaları arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, kripto korku ve açgözlülük endeksi ile G7 ülkelerinin pay piyasaları arasındaki eşbütünleşme ve nedensellik ilişkileri 04.02.2018–15.01.2023 dönemine ait haftalık veriler kullanılarak Fourier Bootstrap ARDL Sınır Testi ve Fourier Toda-Yamamoto Nedensellik Testi ile incelenmiştir. Fourier Bootstrap ARDL Sınır Testi sonucunda, değişkenler arasında dejenere durum olduğu, daha açık bir ifadeyle eşbütünleşme ilişkisinin olmadığı tespit edilirken, Fourier Toda-Yamamoto Nedensellik Testi sonucunda ise kripto korku ve açgözlülük endeksi ile FTSEMIB ve TSX arasında çift yönlü nedensellik olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, S&P 500 ve FTSE 100’den kripto korku ve açgözlülük endeksine doğru tek yönlü, kripto korku ve açgözlülük endeksinden NIKKEI225’e doğru yine tek yönlü nedensellik olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Nedensellik analizi sonuçları, kripto para piyasası yatırımcılarının kripto para piyasasında yaşanan gelişmeler sonucunda sergiledikleri korku ve açgözlülük davranışlarının pay piyasaları ile önemli ilişkilere sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.
