Mani Yazısındaki ḫ (x veya χ), f ve v (β) Seslerini Karşılayan İşaretlerin Manihaist Eski Uygur ve Orta İran Metinlerindeki Yazım Özellikleri
Authors: ÖZBAY Betül 
Published: December 2020

Eski Uygurlar Manihaizm dinini öğrendikleri halk olan Soğdlardan pek çok yönden
etkilenmişlerdir. Manihaist Soğdlu rahiplerden öğrendikleri Mani yazısı da bu etkileşim
unsurlarından bir tanesidir. Manihaist Uygurlar özellikle dinî metinlerde tıpkı diğer Manihaist
topluluklar gibi Mani yazısını yaygın olarak kullanmışlardır. Turfan yazmaları
arasında Eski Uygurca ve Soğdcanın yanı sıra Partça, Orta Farsça gibi diğer bazı Orta
İran dillerinde de Mani yazısıyla yazılmış metinler mevcuttur. Bu çalışmada, Mani yazısının
temel yirmi üç harfi içinde yer almayan, diğer harflerden ikincil olarak geliştirilen
ötümsüz, sızıcı, küçük dil ünsüzü ḫ (x veya χ); ötümsüz, sızıcı, diş dudaksıl f ve ötümlü,
sızıcı, diş dudaksıl v (β) seslerini gösteren yazı işaretlerinin Manihaist Eski Uygur ve
Soğdca, Partça ile Orta Farsça metinlerdeki yazım özellikleri incelenmiş; tespit edilen
örnekler karşılaştırmalı olarak sunulmuştur. Ayrıca, Mani yazısı, yazının tarihî gelişimi
ve yazıyı kullanan halklardan kısaca bahsedilmiştir.

Authors: BULUT Meryem Berrin 
Published: December 2020

This study aimed to investigate the effect of self-efficacy and cynical attitudes on life
satisfaction. Participants, including 330 college students of whom 66.97% were women
in the 18-36 age range (M = 21.20, SD = 1.91), from different academic departments and
class levels of a state university in Middle Anatolia, completed the Self-Efficacy Scale,
the Cynical Attitudes Towards University Scale, the Life Satisfaction Scale and the personal
information form. In data analysis, correlation and regression analysis were utilized.
The correlation analysis indicated significant relations between self-efficacy, cynical attitudes
towards university, and life satisfaction. Self-efficacy and cynical attitudes towards
university explained 17% of the variance in life satisfaction. The results were discussed in
the light of information obtained from related literature and some suggestions for further
studies were provided.

Published: December 2020

Identification of an individual is an important aspect in forensic investigations. Stature estimation is of interest to forensic scientists for its importance in human identification. The present study was an attempt to deduce the stature from footprints as well as the hand prints and hence to determine whether there is any correlation between the stature and the respective prints/ length. Footprint is valuable physical evidence that can be found at scene of crime and its identification can facilitate elimination of the suspects and establishing the identity of the criminal. Also handprints to some extent can help in estimation of stature. The study aimed to estimate the stature in a sample of 1000 bilateral footprints and handprints collected from 500 adult Indian male Maharashtrians and 500 adult Indian female Maharashtrians from Mumbai who consented to volunteer in the study and ranged in the age-group of 18 to 25 years. Samples were collected and data was entered in Microsoft Excel 2007 and statistically analyzed using linear regression analysis. In case of both males and females all footprint lengths exhibit a statistically positive significant correlation with stature. Similarly, handprint lengths exhibit a statistically positive significant correlation with stature. The values of correlation co-efficient shows that the footprint length is more significantly correlated with stature compare to handprint lengths.

Authors: Khudolii Oleg , Golovnin Vladyslav , Bartík Pavol 
Published: December 2020

Purpose. To determine the peculiarities of 9-year-old girls’ motor fitness structure. Materials and methods. The study involved 35 9-year-old girls. The children and their parents were informed about all the features of the study and gave their consent to participate in the experiment. The study used the following research methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observations, testing of motor fitness, probabilistic approach to assessing the learning process, methods of mathematical statistics. Results. The level of fitness of the 9-year-old girls is homogeneous by the development of “agility” and “movement coordination”, inhomogeneous – by the development of flexibility, arm strength, vestibular stability, and the level of proficiency in gymnastic exercises. A graphic representation of a two-factor model of testing results shows that the analysis identifies two sets of data with high correlation coefficients. The first set includes tests No. 12, 13, 14, and 7, which characterize the level of proficiency in gymnastic exercises and relative arm strength; the second – tests No. 1, 10, and 5, which characterize the level of movement coordination development. Conclusions. Based on factor analysis, it was found that the level of proficiency in exercises determines the variation of testing results by 28.394%, and the development of motor skills is a priority in the educational process at primary school. The level of proficiency in gymnastic exercises shows that the exercises “Rope climbing in two steps”, “Rope climbing in three steps”, “One leg swing upward circle” are difficult for 9-year-old girls to perform. Based on the data analysis, it can be argued that the development of “arm strength” and “vestibular stability” ensures the formation of motor skills, and the improvement of their development level is the reserve in training girls aged 9 which will positively influence the formation of motor skills.

The purpose of the study was to determine the place of motor skills in the motor fitness structure of 9-year-old boys. Materials and methods. The study participants were 48 9-year-old boys. The children and their parents were informed about all the features of the study and gave their consent to participate in the experiment. The study used the following research methods: analysis of scientific and methodological literature, pedagogical observations, testing of motor fitness, probabilistic approach to assessing the learning process, methods of mathematical statistics. In the experiment, the study controlled the level of proficiency in the following exercises: “Rope climbing in two steps”, “Rope climbing in three steps”, “One leg swing upward circle”. Results. The level of fitness of the 9-year-old boys is homogeneous by the development of “agility”, “movement coordination”, “speed strength”, and “endurance”; inhomogeneous – by the development of flexibility, arm strength, vestibular stability, and the level of proficiency in rope climbing. The most informative indicators that determine the level of 9-year-old boys’ motor fitness are: No. 12 “Rope climbing in two steps, level of proficiency” (r = 0.960); No. 13 “Rope climbing in three steps, level of proficiency” (r = 0.960); No. 14 “One leg swing upward circle, level of proficiency” (r = 0.875); No. 10 “Maintenance of stable posture – standing on one leg with closed eyes, s” (r = 0.683). Conclusions. Based on factor analysis, it was found that the level of proficiency in the exercises determines the variation of testing results by 24.287%, and the development of motor skills is a priority in the educational process at primary school. The level of proficiency in rope climbing shows that the exercises are difficult for 9-year-old boys to perform. Based on the data analysis, it can be argued that the comprehensive development of motor abilities ensures the formation of motor skills, and the improvement of the level of development of 9-year-old boys’ arm flexors will positively influence the educational process effectiveness.

Background: Describe the epidemiological and diagnostic of spontaneous aspects of early miscarriage in the department of the Gynecology Obsteric of Treichville University Teaching Hospital of Treichville in Abidjan.Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed from January 2016 to March 2017 on patients received for an early miscarriage (gestational age less than 14 weeks of amenorrhea).Results: We recorded 337 cases of miscarriage and it shows that miscarriage was frequently estimated at 58 percent. Our patients had a average age of 32.9 years, 60.4 percent of them with primary education and 48 percent are housewives. The patients were paucigestes in 46 percent and the majority of them were nulliparous (62 percent). 6 percent with history of high blood pressure; diabetes (3 percent) and 31 percent of patients were HIV positive. Patients had pelvic pain at the admission in (55 percent). A miscarriage appears before 10 weeks of amenorrhea (76.1 percent) of cases. Ultrasound showed ovular debris (47 percent) of patients and (55.4 percent) were chromosomal abnormalities on anatomy-pathological examination.Conclusions: Spontaneous abortions are common and pathological examination is essential for diagnosis.

Published: December 2020

Background: Early diagnosis of ovarian tumors is a challenge due to variable presentation. Early diagnosis of ovarian cancers aids in timely management and better clinical outcomes. Aim of study was to determine the different clinical presentations of ovarian tumors and compare those in benign tumors versus malignancies.Methods: Clinical data of all women operated for ovarian masses was extracted from case files at a tertiary care centre and evaluated and clinical features compared in women with benign versus malignant tumors. Results: We found 50 cases of ovarian tumors with 26% malignancies. The mean age was 38.48+14.9 years. Malignancies were significantly common in menopausal than menstruating (χ2=13.57, p=0.001, fishers exact). Pain was the commonest symptom and combined lumbar and iliac pain was reported in 67% cases. The location of pain was not significantly different in women with malignancy compared to those with benign tumors (likelihood ratio χ2=7.93, p=0.24). The odds of reporting a mass in abdomen were significantly greater in women with cancers than benign tumors (OR= 4.9, 95%CI 1.07-24.06, p=0.01). More women with cancer had history of distension of abdomen compared to women with benign tumors (χ2=9.43, p=0.002).Conclusions: Lumbar pain is most frequent complaint in women with ovarian pathology. Symptoms of distension in abdomen or presence of lump in abdomen are a significant guide to alert the physician regarding possibility of malignancy must be evaluated without delay.
A comparative study on the role of oral mifepristone and endocervical prostaglandin as preinduction cervical ripening agent
Authors: Mohapatra Sanghamitra , . Samarpita 
Published: December 2020

Background: Induction of labour is one of the most common interventions practised in modern obstetrics with up to 20% of pregnant women having labour induced in some countries. Induction rates have been influenced by several reports worldwide, which claimed that an active induction policy, led to substantial reduction in perinatal and maternal morbidity and mortality. A ripe or favourable cervix is a pre-requisite for successful vaginal birth. This study is conducted with an aim to compare the efficacy of mifepristone and dinoprostone as a cervical ripening and priming agent for induction of labour and their safety and fetomaternal outcome.Methods: It was a prospective comparative study in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, M.K.C.G. Medical college, Berhampur from October 2017 to October 2019. 100 cases with bishop score less than 6 were subjected for pre induction ripening. These cases were assigned at random either to study group, who were given single dose oral mifepristone 200 mg and control group with single dose intracervical E2 gel. All the cases were examined to check the bishop score. In cases of control cases, second dose was given after 6 hours, if there was no improvement in bishop score. At the end of 24 hour if bishop score <6, it was called as failed induction.Results: 90% of mifepristone gr and 56% of dinoprostone gr had improved Bishop score>6 after 6hr.32 cases required oxytocin augmentation in mifepristone gr where as it was 57 in dinoprostone. Drug administration to delivery interval was 19.40 hour in mifepristone gr and 15 hour in dinoprostone gr. More vaginal delivery and less fetal distress in mifepristone gr.Conclusions: Mifepristone is an effective agent for cervical ripening with better fetomaternal outcome compaired to dinoprostone.

Authors: Jadon Komal , Chawla Indu , Kumari Kanika 
Published: December 2020

Background: Hysteroscopy a minimally invasive approach for evaluating uterine cavity, and has become an indispensable diagnostic and therapeutic procedure. The main limiting factor while performing office hysteroscopy is the level of pain or discomfort encountered during the procedure. The pain is attributed mainly to the difficulty in entering the internal cervical os with the hysteroscope and while distending uterine cavity. It could be reduced if cervix is ripened before the procedure. The purpose of this prospective observational study was to compare the effectiveness, adverse effects and surgery-related complications associated with two different doses of sublingual Misoprostol (100 and 200 µg) given 2-4 hours before hysteroscopy.Methods: A randomised comparative study was conducted in the department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology of ABVIMS and Dr. RML hospital New Delhi, from 1st November, 2018 to 31st March, 2020. One hundred and twenty women, fulfilling inclusion criteria were subjected to hysteroscopy. Women received either 100 µg (Group I) or 200 µg (Group II) of sublingual Misoprostol 2-4 hours prior to hysteroscopy. The primary outcome of the study was cervical dilatation as measured by the largest number of Hegar dilator that could be inserted without resistance at the beginning of procedure. The largest dilator that negotiated cervical canal without resistance at the beginning of procedure was recorded as the baseline cervical width. The secondary outcomes were subjective assessment of the surgeon of the ease of dilatation of cervix and adverse effects of drug (i.e. vaginal bleeding, shivering, fever and pain as measured on visual analog scale).Results: The mean baseline cervical width as measured by first Hegar dilator that could be passed through the cervical canal without resistance was 6.6±0.62 mm in group I and 6.94±1.21 mm in group II respectively (p value=0.016). Adverse effects like vaginal bleeding, shivering was more in group II compared to group I. No statistically significant difference was found between group I and II with regards to visual analog scale.Conclusions: 100 µg Misoprostol can be used for cervical ripening prior to hysteroscopy with minimal adverse effects.
Maternal mortality review by three delay model: a retrospective study from a tertiary care hospital of Chhattisgarh
Authors: Jogi Sangeeta R. , Ekka Anju R. 
Published: December 2020

Background: SDG 3 includes an ambitious target of reducing the global MMR to less than 70 per 100 000 births by 2030. In order for effective initiation of measures to reduce maternal mortality it is necessary to assess the levels of delays, causes of death, health seeking behavior during antenatal and postnatal period and obstacles in reception of health services.Methods: Retrospective study of 112 maternal death cases from a tertiary medical centre (Medical College) was done. The details of all the maternal mortalities from January 2018 to July 2020 were collected from the individual case sheets, facility-based maternal death review form and MDR Case Summary.Results: The study reported a very high MMR of 802. Hypertensive disorders (36.61%), Obstetric haemorrhage (25.89%) and Sepsis (14.29%) constituted the major direct cause of maternal deaths whereas anaemia was the most common indirect cause (7.14%). First, second and third delays were present in 95.54%, 70.54% and 47.32% cases respectively.Conclusions: Suboptimal ANC, long distances to reach final hospitals, high number of referrals and admission during complicated stage explains the very high maternal mortality in the present study. Application of Three Delay Model revealed that most of the maternal death occurred due to delays in multiple levels and first delay was the most commonly identified delay. Accelerated efforts should be implemented to minimize all the delays in order to achieve SDG goals.
Significance of 2 dimensional-echocardiography in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy: a study in tertiary care centre, Ahmedabad, Western India

Published: December 2020

Background: Echocardiography is a safe, non-invasive technique to assess cardiac structure and function in pregnancy. Understanding the structure and function of the heart in hypertensive women is important in terms of timely diagnosis, better management and good prognosis. This study will focus on the importance and feasibility of Echocardiography as a routine investigation tool in hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.Methods: This is a retrospective study of 150 cases of hypertension in pregnancy conducted at the Obstetrics and Gynaecology department of a tertiary care centre in the year June 2019-July 2020. Data was analysed in terms of complications seen in women who had structural and functional abnormalities in the echocardiographic scan in comparison to those hypertensive women who had a normal scan. The important Echocardiographic parameters were compared amongst cases of hypertension and their impact on fetomaternal outcome was discussed.Results: In this study conducted amongst 150 pregnant women suffering from different forms of hypertensive disorders presenting in our institute for routine workup in the year 2019-2020, 12(8%) had chronic hypertension, 75(50%) had gestational hypertension, whereas 63(42%) had pre- eclampsia. The incidence of structural valvular lesions in these categories as 2%, 3.34% and 4% respectively. Deranged echocardiographic parameters like decreased Left Ventricular Ejection Fraction in 10%, decreased stroke volume in 28.6% and increased Left Ventricular mass in 26.6% are seen more in cases of pre-eclampsia compared to gestational hypertension and chronic hypertension.Conclusions: Echocardiography is a valuable tool to stratify risk and can guide management in gestational hypertension, chronic hypertension and preeclampsia. Changes in cardiac function and morphology are recognizable at an asymptomatic early stage and correlate with disease severity and adverse outcomes. Preeclampsia has a greater impact on the heart than gestational hypertension, and changes are most pronounced in early onset, severe disease. Studying the cardiac structure and function in early trimesters can bring about better maternal and fetal outcome.
