Published: June 2021

Studies were conducted to know the damage potential and effect of insecticides on leaf area feeding and larval mortality of the common Mormon butterfly, Papilio polytes Cramer in the homestead garden and germplasm center of the Patuakhali Science and Technology University (PSTU) campus and in the laboratory, Department of Entomology, PSTU, Patuakhali, Bangladesh during October to December 2016. Ten Citrus host plants such as Kagoji lime-BAU-1, BAU-2, BAU-3, BAU-4, BARI kagoji, elachi lime, sweet orange, orange, jamir and pumelo were used as study materials. To determine the effects of insecticides on leaf area feeding and larval mortality, five treatments viz., T1 = Voliam flexi 300SC @ 0.5 ml/l of water, T2 = Voliam flexi 300SC @ 1.0 ml/l of water T3 = Bioneem Plus @ 0.5 ml/l of water, T4 = Bioneem Plus @ 1.0 ml/l of water T5 = control were applied. Under natural field conditions, the highest percentage of leaf infestation was recorded in orange, followed by BAU-3, BAU-4, malta and elachi lime, while the lowest percentage was in BARI kagoji on 23 and 30 November, 2016. At the top canopy, the highest percentage of leaf infestation was recorded in orange and elachi (56%), while the lowest was in BAU-4 (8%). At the middle canopy, the highest percentage of leaf infestation was recorded in orange (56%), while the lowest was in jambura (12%). At the lower canopy, the highest percentage of leaf infestation was recorded in BAU-3 (40%), while the lowest was in elachi (8%). At the top canopy, significantly the highest percentage of infested leaves per branch was observed in orange (51.39%) and the lowest percentage of infested leaves per branch was in BAU-4 kagoji lime (10.86%). At middle and lower canopies, no significant difference was observed in the percentage of infested leaves per branch among different citrus varieties. The lowest percentage (6%) of leaf area consumed by 4th instar larva was recorded in T2 (Voliam flexi 300SC @ 1.0 ml/l of water) treated leaf, while the highest percentage of leaf area consumption was found in T5 (control) at 3 HAT. The highest percent mortality (100%) of larvae was found in T2 treated citrus plant, while the lowest percent mortality was in the T3 (70%) treated plant. No mortality was recorded in the untreated control (T5) plant.

Background: Insulin resistance is a well-established composite index of systemic inflammatory and metabolic disorders. A wide variety of methods like, HOMA-IR (Homeostatic model assessment insulin resistance), FGIR (Fasting glucose insulin ratio), ISI-Composite (an index of whole body insulin sensitivity), QUICKI (quantitative insulin sensitivity check index) etc are available for assessing IR. Objective: To find out the correlation between insulin resistance and LVEF in non diabetic chronic heart failure patients. Methodology: This cross sectional study was carried out in the Department of Cardiology in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Shahbagh, Dhaka from February, 2019 to June, 2020. Patients admitted with chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction were included in this study. Patients with diabetic, prediabetic and patient who did not give written informed consent were excluded in this study. Results: LVEF 25-29% was 16 patients out of which 10(66.7%) had significant insulin resistance. LVEF 30- 34% was found in 28 patients, among them 16(41.0%) had no insulin resistance. LVEF 35-39% was found in 19 patients out of which 18(46.2%) had no insulin resistance. The difference was statistically significant (p<0.05). A negative correlation (r=-0.340; p=0.006) was found between insulin resistance and LVEF. Conclusion: Majority non diabetic chronic heart failure patients had no insulin resistance. Significant negative correlation was found between insulin resistance and LVEF.

El patrimonio intangible de la arquitectura tradicional: un recurso en la lucha contra el cambio climático
Authors: Alcindor Monica 
Published: June 2021

Ante el reto que presenta el cambio climático, el patrimonio intangible de la arquitectura tradicional supone un recurso disponible que en el pasado proporcionó soberanía tecnológica con una cuidadosa gestión de los recursos y bajas emisiones de CO2.
En estas páginas se reflexiona sobre la incorporación de este recurso para elaborar un modelo constructivo que permita una nueva concepción orientada a reconstruir la ligazón con las culturas locales que reoriente las técnicas constructivas hacia lo permanente.
El hecho de que la globalización del mercado haya desencadenado problemas muy parecidos en todas partes no significa que para dichos problemas sólo existan soluciones únicas. Aunque para el uso de este recurso la enseñanza de la arquitectura deberá reconceptualizarse en aras de formar arquitectos/as capaces de buscar soluciones constructivas adaptadas a cada especificidad local.
DÜNYA’DA KONJONKTÜREL DEĞİŞİMLER VE CHP: 3. VE 7. KURULTAYLARIN TÜRKİYE’YE YANSIMALARI
Authors: YAPICI Hasan 
Published: June 2021

Milli Mücadelede ülkeyi kurtuluşa götüren Anadolu ve Rumeli Müdafaa-i Hukuk Grubu Mustafa Kemal Atatürk’ün girişimleri ile 1923 yılında yapılan seçimlerin ardından Halk Fırkasına dönüşmüş ve 1924’te isminin başına Cumhuriyet kelimesi eklenmiştir. Ülkenin kurtuluşunda aktif rol oynayan kadronun çoğu bu sefer Cumhuriyet Halk Fırkası çatısı altında birleşmiştir. Devlet kuran parti sıfatıyla CHF tarafından 1927 yılında düzenlenen 2. Kurultay Atatürk’ün büyük nutkunun okunduğu ve partinin sistematik hale getirildiği bir kurultay olmuştur. 1927 yılında Cumhuriyet döneminde yapılan ilk kurultay olan İkinci Kurultay partinin ve ülkenin liderinin ülkeye hesap vermesi nedeniyle Türk siyasal yaşamında önemli bir yere sahiptir. Bunun dışında Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi’nin 1931 yılından başlamak üzere 1950’ye kadar yaptığı kurultaylar düşünüldüğünde bunlar içerisinde en dikkat çekenleri 3. ve 7. Kurultaylarıdır.
3. ve 7. Kurultayların diğerlerine nazaran daha fazla dikkat çekici olmasının nedeni dünya konjonktürünün değişmesi ve bu konjonktüre göre kurultaylarda alınan kararların beklenmeden uygulanmaya konmasından kaynaklanmaktadır. İlk olarak 1931 yılında toplanan kurultay için aslında hayaller çok büyüktür. Nitekim Lozan’dan kalma bazı ticari sınırlılıklar 1929 yılında biteceği için yönetici kadro 1929 yılını sabırsızlıkla beklemiştir. Fakat 1929 yılında dünya ekonomik buhranının patlak vermesi hayalleri suya düşürmüştür. Ağır ekonomik baskı altında toparlanan 3. Kurultay, almış olduğu kararlarla dünyada yaşanacak yeni bir dönüşüme kadar Türkiye’yi bu minvalde şekillendirmiştir. Yeni dönüşüm ise II. Dünya Savaşı olacaktır. II. Dünya Savaşı’nın ortaya çıkardığı koşullar kapsamında Türkiye batı bloğunda yer almak zorunda kalacaktır. Bu ortamda artık çok partili hayata geçilmiştir. 1947 yılında iktidardayken yedinci Kongre olan son kurultayını toplayan Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi almış olduğu kararlarla tekrardan Türk siyasal yaşamına bir iz düşüm bırakmıştır.
TÜRK SİYASİ TARİHİNDE 1950 SEÇİMLERİ SÜRECİNDE SÖYLEM VE TARTIŞMALAR

İkinci Dünya Savaşının sona ermesiyle birlikte Türk siyasetinde bazı değişiklikler yaşandı. 1945 yılında Cumhuriyet Halk Partisi’nin dışında başka partilerin kurulması için mevcut ortam hazır hale geldi. Haziran 1945’de Milli Kalkınma Partisi ve Ocak 1946’da Demokrat Parti kurularak Türk siyasetinde yerlerini aldı. 1946 seçimlerinde CHP’den sonra en fazla oy alan parti DP öne çıkan muhalefet partisi olarak CHP’nin karşısında yer aldı.
16 Şubat 1950’de kabul edilen Seçim Kanunu, tek dereceli, eşit ve gizli oy, açık tasnif şeklinde belirlenen esaslar çerçevesinde 14 Mayıs 1950 tarihinde gerçekleşen genel seçimde uygulandı. 1950 seçimlerine hazırlık safhasında seçim kampanyalarının önemli bir bölümü CHP iktidarı ile DP muhalefetinin görüşleri ekseninde şekillendi. Seçim hazırlıkları devresinde CHP ülkenin menfaatlerini ön planda tutan bir tutum sergilerken, DP ılımlı ve halkın iradesiyle iktidara ulaşma isteğinde olduğunu gösteriyordu. 1946 seçimlerinde büyük oranda oy alan Demokrat Parti için iktidar olma yolunda ki aşamalardan birisi de 1950 seçimleriydi. İktidar açısından bakıldığında CHP iktidarını korumak ve seçimi kaybetmemek için mücadele ediyordu. CHP ve DP temsilcileri seçimlerin güven içerisinde ve adil yapılması hususunda hemfikirdiler. Seçim söylemlerinde ülkeyi ilgilendiren pek çok konu ve mesele ele alındı. Ancak partilerin söylemlerinde karşılıklı eleştiri ve vaatler ağırlıklı olarak ilk sırada gelen başlıklardı. Her parti rakip partiyi eleştiriyor ve iktidara geldikleri takdirde gerçekleştireceklerini söyledikleri vaatlerini sıralıyordu. Siyasi parti liderlerinin ve temsilcilerinin yurt içi gezileri ve konuşmalarında uzun uzun eleştirilere ve vaatlere yer verildi. Tüm partiler beyanlarıyla halka ulaşmak ve halka yakın olduklarını göstermek istiyordu. 1950 seçimlerine gidilen süreçte ulusal basında seçimle ilgili haberler geniş yer buldu. Basının gücü ve seçimlerde ki rolü tartışmasız çok mühimdi. Bu bakımdan kampanya ya da propagandaları en geniş sahalara ve halka ulaştıran iletişim aracı basın oldu. Bu çalışmada Türk siyasi tarihinde çok partili hayatın ve demokrasinin tesisi açısından çok önemli bir yere sahip olan 1950 seçimleri öncesi partilerin özelliklede CHP ve DP’nin seçim öncesi tutumu, seçime yönelik söylemleri değerlendirilmeye çalışıldı. Çalışmada döneme ait ilgili arşiv belgeleri, gazeteler ve kitaplardan yararlanıldı.

Constraints related to 4G technology are the unequal areas covered so that users who want to experience the 4G network have to go to a point that is already covered. The research objective is to determine the benefits of existing BTS by replacing the baseband module which can add 4G network services and knowing how to choose the type of baseband module and knowing how to do a drivetest related to 4G network service coverage in the planning area. The method used is Calculation of capacity planning and throughput calculations to determine the condition of the planning area before replacing the baseband module at the specified site. The condition of the existing site in the planning area has not changed because only the baseband module is replaced in the existing site. Calculation based on capacity planningshows the total number of active users 900 users, while the network throughput shows the uplink value of 8.56 Mbps and downlink of 32.74 Mbps. Drivetest measurements are carried out to determine whether the performance value has met the planning. Based on the data from the drivetest results, the RSRP value is 99% and the distribution of the RSRP value is in the range of -92 dBm which means that it is very good. Meanwhile, the SINR value of 52.6% is in the 5 Db range, which means good. For the measurement of the speedtest, the download speed is 134 Mbps and the upload is 40 Mbps.

BackgroundSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) affects many organs and systems of the human organism, at present, its specific pathogenesis is not completely clear, but inflammation is considered to be an important factor involved in the pathogenesis and progression of SLE. Gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) and total bilirubin (TBIL) have different effects on inflammation: GGT has pro-inflammatory effects, on the contrary, TBIL has anti-inflammatory effects. Study has found that GGT and TBIL play opposite roles in metabolic diseases. However, the roles of them in SLE are unknown. Meanwhile, the relationship between GGT and SLE also remains unexplored.MethodWe recruited 341 SLE patients and 332 healthy individuals in Liaocheng People’s Hospital from August 2018 to May 2019. We diagnosed SLE using 2019 revised American College of Rheumatology (ACR) SLE criteria, and modeled the study outcomes using logistic regression to explore the respective relationship between GGT, TBIL and SLE. We also analyzed the interaction of GGT and TBIL in the progression of SLE.ResultsWe found that the levels of CRP, IL-6 and TNF-α in the aggravated group were significantly higher than those in the unaggravated group, the levels of C3 and C4 in the aggravated group were significantly lower than those in the unaggravated group. According to Spearman correlation analysis, GGT is proportional to CRP (rs=0.417) and IL-6 (rs=0.412), inversely proportional to C3 (rs=-0.177) and C4 (rs=0.-132). TBIL was inversely proportional to CRP (rs=-0.328) and TNF(rs=-0.360), and positively proportional to C3 (rs=0.174) and C4 (rs=0.172). In the fully adjusted model, compared to the lowest quartile, the highest quartile of GGT exhibited a positive association with the risk of SLE aggravation (OR=2.99, 95% CI: 1.42–6.31, P&lt;0.001). At the same time, compared to the highest quartile, the quartile lowest of TBIL exhibited a positive association with the risk of SLE aggravation (OR=2.66, 95% CI: 1.27–5.59, P&lt;0.001) in the fully adjusted model. Through interaction analysis, we found that women with high GGT levels had an increased risk of SLE aggravation when they had a low level of TBIL (OR=3.68, 95% CI: 1.51–9.01, for women with Q1 TBIL and Q4 GGT compared to women with Q2-Q4 TBIL and Q1-Q3 GGT, P for interaction &lt;0.001), the combined AUC value (AUCCOMBINED=0.711) of high GGT level and TBIL were higher than their respective values (AUCGGT=0.612, AUCTBIL=0.614).ConclusionWe found that the effects of GGT and TBIL in the progression of SLE are opposite. High GGT level might be a risk factor for SLE aggravation, as GGT levels increased, so did the risk of SLE aggravation. At the same time, we found that low TBIL level might be a risk factor for SLE aggravation. Moreover, high GGT level and low TBIL level had a subadditive effect on the increased risk of SLE aggravation.

BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to investigate the outcome of patients with SARS-CoV-2 infection and dementia.Patients and MethodsIn a multicenter, observational, 1:2 matched case-control study all 23 patients with a history of dementia, hospitalized with a diagnosis of SARS-CoV-2 infection from February 28th 2020 to January 31st 2021 were enrolled. For each Case, 2 patients without dementia observed in the same period study, pair matched for gender, age (±5 years), PaO2/FiO2 (P/F) ratio at admission (&lt;200, or &gt;200), number of comorbidities (±1; excluding dementia) were chosen (Control group).ResultsThe majority of patients were males (60.9% of Cases and Controls) and very elderly [median age 82 years (IQR: 75.5–85) in the Cases and 80 (IQR: 75.5–83.75) in the Controls]. The prevalence of co-pathologies was very high: all the Cases and 43 (93.5%) Controls showed a Charlson comorbidity index of at least 2. During hospitalization the patients in the Case group less frequently had a moderate disease of COVID-19 (35 vs. 67.4%, p = 0.02), more frequently a severe disease (48 vs. 22%, p = 0.03) and more frequently died (48 vs. 22%, p = 0.03). Moreover, during coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), 14 (60.8%) patients in the Case group and 1 (2.1%; p &lt; 0.000) in the Control group showed signs and symptoms of delirium.ConclusionPatients with dementia are vulnerable and have an increased risk of a severe disease and death when infected with COVID-19.

Published: June 2021

Objectives: Moyamoya vasculopathy (MMV) is a rare stenoocclusive cerebrovascular disease associated with increased risk of ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, which can be treated using surgical revascularization techniques. Despite well-established neurosurgical procedures performed in experienced centers, bypass failure associated with neurological symptoms can occur. The current study therefore aims at characterizing the cases of bypass failure and repeat revascularization at a single center.Methods: A single-center retrospective analysis of all patients treated with revascularization surgery for MMV between January 2007 and December 2019 was performed. Angiographic data, cerebral blood flow analysis [H2O PET or single-photon emission CT (SPECT)], MRI, and clinical/operative data including follow-up assessments were reviewed.Results: We identified 308 MMV patients with 405 surgically treated hemispheres. Of the 405 hemispheres treated, 15 patients (3.7%) underwent repeat revascularization (median age 38, time to repeat revascularization in 60% of patients was within 1 year of first surgery). The most common cause of repeat revascularization was a symptomatic bypass occlusion (80%). New ischemic lesions were found in 13% of patients prior to repeat revascularization. Persistence of reduced or progressive worsening of cerebrovascular reserve capacity (CVRC) compared with preoperative status was observed in 85% of repeat revascularization cases. Intermediate-flow bypass using a radial artery graft was most commonly used for repeat revascularization (60%) followed by re-superficial temporal artery to middle cerebral artery (re-STA-MCA) bypass (26%). High-flow bypass using a saphenous vein graft and using an occipital artery to MCA bypass was each used once. Following repeat revascularization, no new ischemic events were recorded.Conclusion: Overall, repeat revascularization is needed only in a small percentage of the cases in MMV. A rescue surgery should be considered in those with neurological symptoms and decreased CVRC. Intermediate-flow bypass using a radial artery graft is a reliable technique for patients requiring repeat revascularization. Based on our institutional experience, we propose an algorithm for guiding the decision process in cases of bypass failure.

Published: June 2021

BackgroundHeart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback has a beneficial impact on perceived stress and emotion regulation. However, its impact on brain function is still unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of an 8-week HRV-biofeedback intervention on functional brain connectivity in healthy subjects.MethodsHRV biofeedback was carried out in five sessions per week, including four at home and one in our lab. A control group played jump‘n’run games instead of the training. Functional magnetic resonance imaging was conducted before and after the intervention in both groups. To compute resting state functional connectivity (RSFC), we defined regions of interest in the ventral medial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC) and a total of 260 independent anatomical regions for network-based analysis. Changes of RSFC of the VMPFC to other brain regions were compared between groups. Temporal changes of HRV during the resting state recording were correlated to dynamic functional connectivity of the VMPFC.ResultsFirst, we corroborated the role of the VMPFC in cardiac autonomic regulation. We found that temporal changes of HRV were correlated to dynamic changes of prefrontal connectivity, especially to the middle cingulate cortex, the left insula, supplementary motor area, dorsal and ventral lateral prefrontal regions. The biofeedback group showed a drop in heart rate by 5.2 beats/min and an increased SDNN as a measure of HRV by 8.6 ms (18%) after the intervention. Functional connectivity of the VMPFC increased mainly to the insula, the amygdala, the middle cingulate cortex, and lateral prefrontal regions after biofeedback intervention when compared to changes in the control group. Network-based statistic showed that biofeedback had an influence on a broad functional network of brain regions.ConclusionOur results show that increased heart rate variability induced by HRV-biofeedback is accompanied by changes in functional brain connectivity during resting state.
