The role of spirituality and spiritual care in complementary and alternative medicine: A scoping review
Authors: Hoosen Mujeeb , Roman Nicolette Vanessa , Mthembu Thuli Godfrey 
Published: June 2021

Background: Spirituality has become more prevalent in health professions other than complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). In CAM, spirituality appears to be part of a foundational component of the clinical practice, which is valued by many patients. Spirituality has gained popularity in healthcare education and practice; however, the contribution made by CAM remains minimal evidenced by the paucity of studies on the topic of spirituality in CAM. Therefore, there is need for a scoping review to: 1) to explore the focus and nature of research on spirituality in CAM; 2) to provide recommendations based on the relational aspects between spirituality and CAM.
Methods: A scoping review was performed of all relevant articles found in Ebscohost (Academic Search Complete), Science Direct, and Scopus published between 2000 and 2019. This scoping review included two hundred and six studies, of these, twentytwo articles focussed on the role of spirituality in CAM.
Results: These four themes were reported in the results: spirituality as a modality of CAM; patient perceptions of the role of spirituality and CAM; practitioner perceptions of the role of spirituality and CAM; and the role of spirituality and CAM in education and practice. Spirituality was considered an important component and was linked to culture, traditions and/or religious beliefs. The use of spirituality in CAM was especially linked to patients living with chronic disease such as diabetes, cardiac conditions and cancer. Spirituality seemingly facilitated health care and while patients expected spirituality healthcare advice from CAM practitioners most CAM practitioners felt ill equipped to deal with the topic appropriately.
Conclusions: Overall, this scoping review highlights that the role of spirituality in CAM seem to be of value for both practitioners and clients within the CAM clinical setting. However, only a few practitioners include spiritual healthcare advice without clear guidelines. Consequently, this may compromise the holistic treatment, which so many patients expect within the CAM domain. Therefore, there is a need for the inclusion of spirituality in the CAM curriculum and guidelines for CAM practitioners.

Background: The sudden onset of COVID-19 began in late 2019 caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-COV2) and on 11th March, WHO declared it to have developed pandemic status. There is still no specific treatment and vaccine available for COVID-19; causing wide spread health problem and concern of the globe. Povidone iodine (PVP-I) is an antiseptic that has been used for over 150 years. It is already proved that different concentration of PVP-I can deactivate COVID-19 virus.
Methodology: In this randomized controlled clinical trial, out of 1113 patients 606 patients were enrolled and divided in 2 groups by randomization after taken consents. In Gr-A, 303 patients underwent mouthwash/gargle, nasal drops and eye drops with 1% povidone iodine 4 hourly for 4 weeks as well as symptomatic treatment according to need. In Gr-B 303 patients were advised mouthwash/gargle, nasal cavity and eye wash with lukewarm water 4 hourly for 4 weeks and symptomatic treatment according to need. RT-PCR test done every 3rd, 5th and 7th day and Thyroid hormone level (TSH,T3, T4, FT4) at 4th week for follow up.
Results: The group of patients used 1% PVP-I have shown tremendously reduced mortality, morbidity and hospital as well as financial burden in this covid situation.
Conclusion: Administration of 1% PVP-I as mouthwash/gargle, nasal or eye drop is simple, rapid and cost effective in reduction of mortality and morbidity by COVID-19.

Published: June 2021

The global emergence of the recently discovered COVID-19 (Coronavirus disease 2019; SARS-CoV-2) has already shown its devastating effects on almost the entire world by causing huge numbers of death cases and rupturing the whole economy as well as social communication. South Asia, a region that comprises mostly of least developed and developing countries (Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) with overpopulation, illiteracy, poverty, lack of awareness, lack of hygiene, inadequate health care facilities, is still struggling to fight against this virus and facing the consequences with over 8.5 million confirmed cases including 130,636 deaths till the 20th October. Prompt and proper protective measures, good health care systems, and conscious people are the keys to reducing the severe impacts of this pandemic situation, and most of the countries in this region lack all of this. Considering this, it will not be a surprise if the pandemic takes its full shape in these countries and recent evidence also suggest that the situation is already on its way to reach the peak. However, the pandemic nature in South Asia also demonstrates that strict measures by the government and co-operation from the people can protect a country from the impacts of the virus, whereas lack of these can lead to the next heat point. This review demonstrates and compares the impact of COVID-19 in the mass population of South Asia which could support the government and scientific community to take proper protective measures against this global pandemic and better prepare the community for future challenges. Moreover, good health care systems, public health infrastructure, and up to date information on COVID-19 outbreaks in this region will help to combat this pandemic and create more sustainable and resilient healthy societies in South Asia.

Authors: Sunny Fatamatuj , Miah Md Selim , Mia Md Younus , Rimi Ruksana Haque 
Published: June 2021

The study was conducted to quantify the change of selected climatic variables (rainfall, relative humidity, maximum and minimum temperature) over 50 years at Rajshahi and Sylhet districts in Bangladesh. Annual, seasonal, and monthly climatic data comparisons have been executed between 1968-1992 and 1993-2017 through trend analysis. The Mann-Kendall statistic and Sen's Slope model were used to reveal the trends and estimate the magnitude of change respectively. Prediction of the climatic variable of 10 years (2018-2027) was made based on the ARAR algorithm using MaxStat Pro software. Rainfall data were used to analyze drought by using climatic indices (De Mortone Aridity Index, IdM; Seleaninov Hydrothermic Index, IhS; Donciu Climate Index, IcD). Average rainfall was decreasing dramatically in monsoon season at Rajshahi and in both premonsoon and monsoon seasons at Sylhet. The negative change of average rainfall in the monsoon at Rajshahi from 1968-1992 to 1993-2017 was found 29.17 mm. The maximum temperature was increasing in all seasons in both Rajshahi and Sylhet. Annual Mannkendall trend test and Sen’s slope revealed that relative humidity was decreasing and maximum temperature was increasing significantly at Sylhet for the period 1993-2017. At Rajshahi, during 1968-1992, relative humidity was increasing by 0.247 % per year, and minimum temperature was decreasing 0.049℃ per year. Rainfall was decreasing insignificantly in both time scales. ARAR algorithm predicted that average maximum temperature might become comparatively higher than the previous 50 years. 1992 and 2010 were identified as drought years from all climatic indices, and 1969, 1981, and 1997 as excessive wet years at Rajshahi. No drought events were identified during 1968-2017 at Sylhet and the year 2017 to be an excessively wet year. IhS predicted 2020, 2025, and 2027 as drought years and 2024 as an excessive wet year at Sylhet.

Published: June 2021

The study was carried out to observe growth, production and profit of prawn, stripped mullet (Mugil cephalus) and corsula mullet (Rhinomugil corsula) at different stocking ratio under polyculture in the Bagerhat district for four months. The experiment was designed as a randomized block design and had three treatments based on stocking ratio with three replicates in each treatment. Juveniles of prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) and fingerlings of fin fishes (stripped mullet and corsula mullet) were stocked at a stocking ratio of 3:1:1, 4:1:1 and 5:1:1/m2 in T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Prawn and fin fishes were fed with a commercial diet and farm made formulated feed on a daily basis. Recorded water quality parameters were within suitable ranges of prawn and fish culture. Higher growth (43.0 g) of the prawn was achieved in T1 followed by T2 (41.0 g) and T3 (38.0 g), but prawn growth was not significantly different between T1 and T2. The growth and survival rate of prawn, stripped mullet and corsula mullet were lower in T3, where the stocking ratio was higher. Higher production of the prawn was obtained in T2 (1148.0 kg/ha) than those of T1 (954.6 kg/ha) and T3 (1083.0 kg/ha). But significantly (p<0.05), higher production of stripped mullet was found in T1 (650.0 kg/ha) and T2 (579.5 kg/ha) than T3 (500.5 kg/ha). Similarly, higher production of corsula mullet was found in T1 (850.0 kg/ha) and T2 (834.9 kg/ha) than T3 (719.8 kg/ha). However, combined production and net profit of prawn and fin fish farming were significantly (p<0.05) higher in T2 (2562.4 kg/ha, BDT 277,384.51/ha) followed by T3 (2303.3 kg/ha, BDT 229,693.95/ha) and T1 (2454.6 kg/ha, BDT 179,393.31/ha). So from a production and economic point of view, polyculture of prawn and fin fish at a stocking ratio of 4:1:1/m2 is more profitable compared to other stocking ratios and this system may be suggested to disseminate at coastal farmers’ level.

Background:Stable angina forms a significant proportion of coronary artery disease. Newer non-invasive modalities with good predictive values like CT coronary angiography and myocardial perfusion imaging are available, they are not feasible for widespread use. In this scenario, we can use the ECG parameter (P wave dispersion) as a non-invasive, efficient and cost-effective tool for diagnosing coronary artery stenosis in chronic stable angina. Objective: To find out the association between P wave dispersion in electrocardiogram and angiographic findings by coronary angiogram in patients with chronic stable angina. Methods: This cross sectional study was conducted at the Department of Cardiology, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Dhaka from July 2018 to June 2019.Patients with chronic stable angina who were undergoing invasive coronary angiography was included in this study. A total of 45 patients were included in the study. Immediately after admission, standard 12 lead ECG was recorded at a 50 mm/s paper speed and a gain of 10 mm/mV. P wave dispersion are calculated from the standard ECG during sinus rhythm in any of the 12 ECG leads. Finally, all the enrolled patients underwent invasive evaluation by coronary angiography. The severity of CAD was assessed by Gensini score. Results:The mean PD was 23.3±8.1 millisecond in patients without CAD, 37.1±7.6 millisecond in single vessel disease, 45.3±9.1 millisecond in double vessel disease and 45.9±9.4 millisecond in triple vessel disease, which were statistically significant (p<0.05) among four groups.There was a significant correlation of PD (P wave dispersion) with Gensini score (r=0.631; p=0.001). Conclusion: This study demonstrates that there is a significant association of PD (P wave dispersion) with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with chronic stable angina.

1830’LARIN NÜFUS DEFTERLERİNDEN HAREKETLE OSMANLI’DA ASKERE ALINACAKLARIN TESPİTİ
Authors: ÖZEKMEKÇİ Mustafa Mesut 
Published: June 2021

Osmanlı Devleti’nin ülke genelindeki ilk genel nüfus sayımının H. 1246- M. 1830-1831 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirildiği bilinmektedir. Konuyla alakalı öncü çalışmaların tamamında nüfus sayımların asli amacının yeni kurulmuş Mansûre Ordusu için insan kaynağının tespiti ile cizye mükelleflerinin belirlenmesi olduğu konusunda hemfikirdir. Bununla beraber ilk sayıma dair bir talimatnamenin halen bulunamaması sebebiyle bu tahrirlerin tam olarak neye göre yapıldığı belirsizdir. Bu bağlamda örneğin askere alınacak nüfusun hangi özelliklere sahip olması gerektiği yahut da hangi yaş/yaşlardaki kişilerin askere alınacakları net bir şekilde belli değildir.
Literatür bu konudaki açıklamalar için sayıma dair çeşitli yazışmaları ve bunların pratiğe yansımaları olan nüfus defterlerini merkeze koymaktadır. Bu belgelerden hareketle sayım esnasında askerlik yapabilecek olanların belirlenebilmesi için nüfus defterlerinde kaydedilenlerin isimlerinin altına mim (م ) harfinin konulduğu araştırmacılar tarafından belirtilmektedir. Özellikle bu konudaki öncü çalışmaların doğru olarak tespit ettiği sayımın askerî gayesi ve bunun öne çıkartılmasına rağmen bu çalışmaların hiç birisinde ordunun yeniden teşekkülüne dair mevzuat ile nüfus sayımının bağlantısı kurulamamıştır. Bu çerçevede çalışmada nüfus sayımlarının ve nüfus defterlerinin Asakir-i Mansure-i Muhammediye Kanunnamesi ile olan bağlantılar incelenmektedir.
SOVYETLER BİRLİĞİ, LOZAN ANTLAŞMASI VE TÜRKİYE
Authors: BEKCAN Umut 
Published: June 2021

Sovyetler Birliği (SSCB), Türkiye’nin Kurtuluş Savaşı’nı destekledi. Türkiye, SSCB gibi Marksizm-Leninizm temelinde sosyalist bir ideolojiye sahip değildi. Emperyalist devletlerle mücadele ortak paydası Türkiye’ye yurt savunmasında SSCB’den antiemperyalizm ideolojik desteği ile silah ve cephane yardımı almasını sağladı. Emperyalist devletlerin hakim olmadığı Türkiye, SSCB için tampon görevi gördü ve kuşatılmaktan kurtardı. Kuşkusuz, SSCB’nin bu politikasının ideolojik temeli/sebebi vardı. Doğu halklarının, ezilen/yoksul halkların kendilerini sömüren güçlü, emperyalist devletlere karşı uyanmasını/ayaklanmasını, ilk aşamada ulusal devrimlerini gerçekleştirmelerini istiyordu. Savaşın sonunda imzalanan Lozan Antlaşması, Türkiye için bir zaferdi. Türkiye’nin topraklarını düşmanlardan temizlemesi SSCB için de memnuniyet vericiydi. Hatta SSCB, Lozan’ı egemen bir devletin kurulmasını sağlayan, Türkiye halkının ulusal direniş ve manevi canlanma yolunu açan bir antlaşma olarak değerlendiriyor, geçmişteki Türk (Osmanlı) hükümetlerinin hayal bile edemeyeceği büyük bir kazanım olarak görüyordu.
Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmada iki temel varsayım ortaya kondu. Birincisi, SSCB’ye göre Lozan Antlaşması, Türkiye için büyük bir başarı olsa da antlaşma aynı zamanda batılı ülkelere bir taviz anlamına geliyordu. Ayrıca, konferans süreci anti-Sovyet bir ortama sahipti. Türkiye’nin batılı ülkelerle uzlaşması/uzlaşma süreci SSCB’yi dışlamayı da beraberinde getirmişti. İlkiyle bağlantılı ikinci varsayım ise; savaşlardan yorgun düşen Türkiye, ülkenin ve yeni sistemin/rejimin inşası için en kısa sürede barışı sağlamayı amaçlıyordu. Bir başka deyişle, SSCB’nin taviz içerdiğini düşündüğü antlaşma ve öncesi süreç, Türkiye’nin barış mücadelesini ve gerçekçi bir dış politikayı yansıtıyordu.
Çalışmada öncelikle, Büyük Taarruz’un sona ermesinden Lozan Antlaşması’nın imzalanması kadar olan süreçte SSCB’nin taviz olarak görüp eleştirdiği noktalar ve anti-Sovyet hava üzerinde duruldu. Ardından SSCB’nin bu eleştirel bakışına adeta cevap niteliğindeki Türkiye’nin bu dönemde uyguladığı politikanın nedenleri ortaya kondu.
