The Impact of Covid-19 on the Macro Indicators: A Comparative Analysis for Oil, Gold, Exchange Rates and Wheat
Authors: TEKER DILEK , Deniz E. Asena 
Published: October 2021

COVID-19, which occurred in Wuhan, China at the end of December 2019 and have affected the whole world, appears to have drastic effects on human health and economic stability. Economic activities related to global trade decreased with the spread of the epidemic and caused crisis both economically and financially. This virus, which is also a health crisis, has affected human life greatly due to uncertainty in the protection and treatment processes. Increasing numbers of cases and deaths negatively affect the economic progress globally and show that countries with intense epidemic are vulnerable. Not knowing how long the pandemic will last and how long economic activities will be restricted requires an economic precaution. If the pandemic is brought under control quickly, the return to normal economic life will happen quickly and thus all economic sectors, especially service sectors, will recover in a short time. If the process of controlling the pandemic is long, the destruction on economic growth and employment will be at higher levels. With the vaccine found, it is predicted that the normalization process will accelerate and the economy may recover. Increased studies examining the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on financial markets and commodity markets will make it easier for both economists and financial actors in the future. In this study, the relationship between the daily number of cases of COVID-19 and brent oil, gold, EUR / USD and wheat prices were examined. After the natural logarithm of our variables was applied, it was determined whether they were static or not. ARDL test, Impact-Response Analysis and Variance Decomposition were performed according to the determined lag lengths. According to the results, ARDL test was performed because our data was not stationary according to the ADF test and cointegration was not found among the data. As a result of impact response analysis, shocks lose their effect in a short time.
AN ANALYTICAL COMPARISON OF MONASTICISM IN SEMITIC RELIGION
Authors: Razzaq Tayyaba 
Published: October 2021

Monasticism is voluntary sustain and systemic program of self discipline and self denial in which immediate sensual gratifications are renounced in order to attain some valued spiritual or mental state. Monasticism demands to get away from normal sentiment & human emotions particularly to attain spirituality. Purposes of monasticism are to find out the pure inner self, raise above all flaws & human deficiency, spiritual excellence, liberation, and deliverance. The research paper is an approach to show the comparison between the monastic worlds as revealed through the texts of Semitic religious communities. The comparison of monastic text has the potential to yield a large amount of informative facts. In the areas of asceticism, spirituality, and the balance between sacred and routine life, analogies are numerous and propose many avenues of further comparison still waiting to be explored.
The research paper is an approach to show the comparison & in- depth analysis of the Babylonian Talmud, Bible and Quran that find literary analogues in the monastic texts, strategies’, historical examples and suggestions. These examples open the door for a reconsideration of the nature of the relationship between Jews and Christians in the ancient world. This article aimed to highlight the main features of ancient monasticism and to share information in Semitic religion regarding hermit, ascetic and monk. Likewise, this paper also focuses on several processes of changes and transformation of monasticism from a negative view to the enlightenment of identity which lead to the development of a normal and stable society.

Published: October 2021

Abstract
The nanofluid is most advantageous to enhance the heat efficiency of base fluid by submerging solid nanoparticles in it. The metals, oxides, and carbides are helpful to improve the heat transfer rate. In the present analysis, the role of the slip phenomenon in the radiative flow of hybrid nanoliquid containing SiO2 silicon dioxide and CNTs over in the porous cone is scrutinized. The behavior of the magnetic field, thermal conductivity, and thermal radiation are examined. Here the base fluid ethylene glycol water (C2H6O2−H2O) is used. Accepting similarity transformation converts the controlling partial differential equations (PDEs) into ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The numerical solution is obtained by utilizing the Lobatto-IIIa method. The significant physical flow parameters are discussed by utilizing tables and graphs. Final remarks are demonstrating the velocity profile is declined via higher magnetic parameter while boosted up for nanoparticles volume fraction. Furthermore, the thermal profile is enriching via thermal conductivity parameter, radiation parameter, and nanoparticles volume fraction.
External cephalic version in the outpatient clinic
Authors: Kim Gwang-Jun , Seong Ji Su 
Published: October 2021

Abstract
The continuous increase in the rates of cesarean section worldwide is concerning. Breech presentation is one of the major indications for cesarean section in most countries. External cephalic version (ECV) can reduce cesarean rates by approximately two-thirds in term breech pregnancies. After introduction of ultrasonography and cardiotocography before and after the procedure, ECV has become much safer. As a result, over-night fasting, intravenous access, and preoperative laboratory tests are no longer recommended as the patient’s risk of requiring emergency cesarean section is very low. We have been running the largest ECV clinic in South Korea since 2008, and ECV trials in the outpatient clinic were started in 2015. We want to share our experiences running the ECV clinic for 15 years managing more than 2000 patients.

With the wide adoption of genomic sequencing in children having seizures, an increasing number ofSCN2Agenetic variants have been revealed as genetic causes of epilepsy. Voltage-gated sodium channel Nav1.2, encoded by geneSCN2A, is predominantly expressed in the pyramidal excitatory neurons and supports action potential (AP) firing. One recurrentSCN2Agenetic variant is L1342P, which was identified in multiple patients with epileptic encephalopathy and intractable seizures. However, the mechanism underlying L1342P-mediated seizures and the pharmacogenetics of this variant in human neurons remain unknown. To understand the core phenotypes of the L1342P variant in human neurons, we took advantage of a reference human-induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line from a male donor, in which L1342P was introduced by CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing. Using patch-clamping and microelectrode array (MEA) recordings, we revealed that cortical neurons derived from hiPSCs carrying heterozygous L1342P variant have significantly increased intrinsic excitability, higher sodium current density, and enhanced bursting and synchronous network firing, suggesting hyperexcitability phenotypes. Interestingly, L1342P neuronal culture displayed a degree of resistance to the anticonvulsant medication phenytoin, which recapitulated aspects of clinical observation of patients carrying the L1342P variant. In contrast, phrixotoxin-3 (PTx3), a Nav1.2 isoform-specific blocker, can potently alleviate spontaneous and chemically-induced hyperexcitability of neurons carrying the L1342P variant. Our results reveal a possible pathogenic underpinning of Nav1.2-L1342P mediated epileptic seizures and demonstrate the utility of genome-edited hiPSCs as anin vitroplatform to advance personalized phenotyping and drug discovery.SIGNIFICANCE STATEMENTA mounting number ofSCN2Agenetic variants have been identified from patients with epilepsy, but howSCN2Avariants affect the function of human neurons contributing to seizures is still elusive. This study investigated the functional consequences of a recurringSCN2Avariant (L1342P) using human iPSC-derived neurons and revealed both intrinsic and network hyperexcitability of neurons carrying a mutant Nav1.2 channel. Importantly, this study recapitulated elements of clinical observations of drug-resistant features of the L1342P variant, and provided a platform forin vitrodrug testing. Our study sheds light on cellular mechanism of seizures resulting from a recurring Nav1.2 variant, and helps to advance personalized drug discovery to treat patients carrying pathogenicSCN2Avariant.

Introduction
Persistent growth hormone hypersecretion can be observed in roughly 50% of patients operated for somatotroph adenomas, requiring additional treatments. Despite its proven antisecretory efficacy, the use of Gamma Knife radiosurgery (GK) is limited probably due to the lack of data on long-term side effects, including potential cognitive consequences.

Methods
The LATe Effects of Radiosurgery in Acromegaly study was a cross-sectional exposed/unexposed non-randomized study. The primary objective was to determine the long-term neurocognitive effects of GK focusing on memory, executive functions, and calculation ability. Exposed patients had been treated by GK for acromegaly at least 5 years before inclusion. Unexposed patients (paired for age) had to be cured or controlled at last follow-up without any radiation technique. Patients of both groups were cured or controlled at the last follow-up.

Results
Sixty-four patients were evaluated (27 exposed and 37 unexposed). Mean follow-up after GK was 13 ± 6 years (including 24 patients followed for at least 10 years). While up to 23.8% of the patients of the whole cohort presented at least one abnormal cognitive test, we did not observe any significant difference in neurocognitive function between both groups. During the follow-up, 11 patients presented at least one new pituitary deficiency (P  = 0.009 for thyroid-stimulating hormone deficiency with a higher rate in exposed patients), two presented a stroke (1 in each group), and one presented a meningioma (12 years after GK).

Conclusions
While GK exposes patients to a well-known risk of pituitary deficiency, it does not seem to induce long-term cognitive consequences in patients treated for acromegaly.
La independencia hispanoamericana en el pensamiento de José Martí
Authors: González-Zúñiga Carlos Rodolfo 
Published: October 2021

Se analiza la interpretación de José Martí sobre los procesos de independencia hispanoamericanos. La primera parte menciona la crítica martiana sobre elementos coloniales que perviven en las nuevas repúblicas; el carácter autónomo del proceso de independencia, y la propuesta de una segunda independencia. Posteriormente se analiza el concepto de hombre natural para interpretar, en la obra Patria y Libertad, el papel de los sectores sociales populares indígenas y mestizos como los sujetos revolucionarios, en el marco de la lucha independentista de Guatemala frente al colonialismo español. Asimismo, se analiza una crítica hacia el contexto liberal de la obra Patria y Libertad y se presentan dos reflexiones sobre el teatro que incorporan el valor de la territorialidad en la teatralidad. Se concluye que la obra Patria y Libertad expresa el papel de la interculturalidad y los protagonismos de sectores sociales populares en el desarrollo de la segunda independencia.

Abstract
There have been contradicting observations regarding the prebiotic efficacy of feruloylated oligosaccharides (FOs) extracted from different varieties of cereals with varying oligosaccharides and ferulic acid (FA) levels. The present study was performed to determine whether the mass ratio of xylooligosaccharide (XOS) to FA influences their combined effects on faecal FA content, short chain fatty acid (SCFA) output, and gut stress of d-galactose-treated aging rats. The results show that there was no significant difference in the faecal FA levels of rats fed with 5:1 and 10:1 XOS:FA diet, although the FA level in the 5:1-supplemented diet was twice as much as in the 10:1 diet. More utilisation of FA decreased butyric acid and SCFA output in the faeces for diet 5:1 compared with diets 10:1 XOS:FA or XOS alone. Furthermore, compared with 10:1 XOS:FA or XOS alone treatments, the 5:1 XOS:FA diet resulted in increased 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl activity and higher ratios of Bifidobacterium or Lactobacillus to Escherichia coli (P < 0.05), while not increasing the number of probiotic Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus. These findings suggest that under the specific stress level set for this study, the sufficient amount of FA added to XOS (5:1) can stimulate FA utilisation to modify gut redox balance, while reducing faecal SCFA output.

Two-dimensional craniometry: morphometry and cephalometry
Authors: Botero-González Daniela , Ortiz Mario , Herrera-Rubio Adriana María 
Published: October 2021

Over the last twenty years, bone research has raised interest; the function, shape and alterations of bone tissue have been analyzed and reported. Craniometry is a method developed as a tool for the precise measurement of the skull and facial structures and it has been used not only for humans, but for a variety of mammals. Morphometry is used to study and quantitatively compare the shape variation of biological objects, organs and organisms. Cephalometry uses two-dimensional measurements of the head and face involving a radiographic analysis to provide data on soft tissue, dental and skeletal relationships. Papers regarding bone research are difficult to access and usually, craniometry and morphometry are reported separately. The object of this article is to report a two-dimensional craniometry performed in rats, using both morphometry and cephalometry. This specific craniometry is a functional, well established method which involves the entire anatomical aspects of the skull.

This study aims to analyze the role of job satisfaction in moderating the relationship between organizational culture, transformational leadership, and organizational commitment, as it is known that the unit of analysis is workers in small and medium industries. This provides benefits in managing human resources, industrial relations and organizational behavior in the context of SMEs, so that optimal human resource management results in optimal competitiveness as well. The results found that job satisfaction can be an intervening variable for organizational learning and transformational leadership on organizational commitment. The results found that organizational culture affects job satisfaction and organizational commitment, and transformational leadership affects organizational commitment. But, leadership was found do not have influence on job satisfaction and job satisfaction did not have an influence on organizational commitment. On the other hand, job satisfaction was found as an intervening variable for organizational culture and transformational leadership in influencing organizational commitment. This research contributes to enriching the theory of organizational behavior in the context of SMEs.

Published: October 2021

Splenic injury is frequent in patients with abdominal trauma and delayed splenic rupture yields a poorer prognosis. Patients with hemodynamic stability, despite the grade of splenic anatomical injury, can be safely treated by conservative management (observation or angiography/angioembolization), if no other intra-abdominal injuries are found and a multidisciplinary team (surgeons, interventional radiologists) is available. The conservative approach is an alternative to surgery and its possible complications. In this case series, the authors present three trauma cases very commonly seen in emergency rooms, in whom delayed splenic rupture was diagnosed. All three patients were submitted to conservative management, with no need for surgery or complications. This case series presents some common clinical signs and diagnostic steps, also showing the safety and efficacy of clinical observation in this setting.
Recurrent liver hydatid cyst and port site hydatid cyst in anterior abdominal wall in operated case of laparoscopic cystostomy for liver hydatid cyst: a rare complication
Authors: T. Swamy P. , Vagadia Jayendra G. , Bhatt Jatin G. , Dave Jignesh P. 
Published: October 2021

Hydatid disease, or echinococcosis, is a widespread zoonotic parasitic disease caused by a tapeworm that continues to be a clinical and public health problem worldwide, especially in areas where animal husbandry and subsistence farming form an integral part of community life. Location of cyst in different organs of body changes the diagnostic and therapeutic management of the cyst. Four treatment options are currently available: radical surgery, conservative surgery, puncture-aspiration-injection-respiration (PAIR), and antiparasitic medical treatment. Surgery is gold standard for liver hydatid cyst and can be done by open/laparoscopic approach. We are reporting a case of recurrence of liver hydatid cyst with port site anterior abdominal wall hydatid cyst in a 40-year-old female patient operated previously for laparoscopic liver hydatid cystectomy. ­­­Port site hydatid cyst is a rare complication after laparoscopic hydatid cystotomy, but can occur due to lodgement of scolices at port site while removing daughter cyst at port site of laparoscopy.
Da ação coletiva ao crime: repertórios de movimentos sociais e facções prisionais | From collective action to crime: repertoires of social movements and prison factions
Authors: Gomes Simone 
Published: October 2021

O trabalho discute a organização prisional em facções a partir de paralelos com ações coletivas, com teorias dos movimentos sociais para lançar luz às práticas das facções prisionais. Dessa forma, baseado em um trabalho de inspiração etnográfica em prisões masculinas e femininas no Rio de Janeiro, Manaus e Fortaleza, abordaremos convergências e diferenças entre o modus operandi das facções prisionais do país, Primeiro Comando da Capital (PCC), Comando Vermelho (CV), Facção do Norte (FDN) e Guardiões do Estado (GDE) e movimentos sociais. Desde 2006, aumentaram significativamente as rebeliões, queima de veículos e transferência de presos, como instrumentos de barganha, aqui entendidas como repertórios. A pesquisa aponta para um funcionamento das facções que, por ser empiricamente orientado, traz elementos inovadores para pensar os limites e as possibilidades das teorias da ação coletiva.
