Published: September 2021

The article discusses the issues of forecasting the strength of underground pipelines laid in seismically active areas through sections composed of relatively rigid moving blocks. In such dangerous areas, in addition to the normal pressure load of the transported product, the pipe is subjected to additional effects from the movements of the fragments of the block foundation. As the literature data show, the problems of the influence of the interaction of faults on the stress state of the pipeline have not yet been studied. The aim of the study is to develop a model for the analysis of abnormal stresses in the underground pipeline on a damaged foundation caused by static or time-harmonic reciprocal turns of the blocks around the axis of the pipe on both sides of several faults. Static equilibrium and harmonic oscillations of the pipeline are investigated in a linear setting, modelling it with a rod with an annular cross section. The inertia of the transported product is not taken into account. To consider the issues of the ultimate equilibrium of the pipe, the momentless theory of shells and the energy theory of strength are used. The soil backfill is considered as Winkler’s elastic layer. Multiple damages to the solid foundation are presented in the form of several faults on which there is a rupture of the angle of rotation around the axis of the pipe. We formulated boundary value problems for differential equations of static torsion and torsional harmonic oscillations with discontinuous right-hand sides. Based on the analytical solutions of these problems for the cases of antisymmetric and symmetrical reversal of the foundation blocks, the distributions of the torsion angle and equivalent stress in the pipe, depending on the distance between faults and the frequency of forced oscillations of the system, are investigated.

Authors: Thi Loan Nguyen , Ngoc Hung Nguyen 
Published: September 2021

To study the effects of organic fertilizer and HB101 organic plant vitalizer on the growth and yield components of the BH9 rice variety, a field experiment with 4 x 3 factorial design was conducted at Hong Thai commune, Kien Xuong district, Thai Binh province in 2017 summer season using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Organic fertilizer derived from chicken manure and peat was applied at 3 levels (0 ton ha-1, 4 tons ha-1, and 6 tons ha-1) while the HB101 plant vitalizer was sprayed in 4 levels (0%, 0.015%, 0.025%, and 0.035%; the amount of water to dilute HB101 was 1000 litre ha-1). The application of the organic fertilizer alone and the combination of organic fertilizer and HB101 positively increased the total tiller number, effective tiller number, leaf area index (LAI), SPAD value, dry matter accumulation, yield components, and grain yield of rice. There were also differences in the SPAD values (at flowering stage), dry matter weight (at active tillering stage), and 1000 grain weight under the influence of the HB101 solution. The combination of 6 tons ha-1 organic fertilizer and HB101 significantly increased the grain yield as compared to the other treatments, and the highest grain yield (3.03 tons ha-1) was obtained when organic fertilizer (6 tons ha-1) was applied in combination with HB101 plant vitalizer (0.025%).

Published: September 2021

Aim: Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) is a novel marker that predicts adverse clinical outcomes among patients with malignancy and cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, we hypothesized that SII could provide more additional information in the prediction of long-term mortality among patients with acute pulmonary embolism (APE).
Methods: Consecutive patients (n=514) who were followed up and treated with a diagnosis of APE were included in the study. The study group was divided into those survivors and non-survivors. Demographic, clinical, laboratory, and echocardiographic characteristics were compared between groups.
Results: A total of 28 (5.4%) patients died in the 30 days. Besides, during a follow-up period of 29 [12-53] months, 52 patients (10.1%) died. In the Cox-regression analysis, age [odds ratio (OR): 1.052, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.034–1.071; p < 0.01], right ventricle end-diastolic diameter basal (OR: 3.227, 95% CI: 1.902–5.474; p < 0.001), left ventricular ejection fraction (OR: 0.968, 95% CI: 0.948–0.988) and SII index (OR: 2.129, 95% CI: 1.290–3.515) were the independent predictors of overall mortality among the study population. In the receiver operator characteristic curve analysis, the area under the curve values of the SII index for overall mortality was 0.703 (95% CI: 0.629–0.777). SII with an optimal cutoff value of 1111 × 109 predicted the overall mortality with a sensitivity of 72% and specificity of 51%.
Conclusion: The SII index, an inexpensive and easily calculable parameter, was a strong predictor of overall mortality in patients with APE.

Authors: ERASLAN Pınar , İLHAN Ayşegül 
Published: September 2021

Objective: To reveal the factors that may affect the burnout level of nurses working in a medical oncology clinic.
Methods: This study was a cross-sectional observational descriptive study conducted in a medical oncology clinic. The study included 29 female nurses who were currently working in a medical oncology clinic. Participants were assessed with sociodemographic information form and Turkish versions of the occupational fatigue exhaustion/recovery scale (OFER), the professional quality of life (ProQOL) scale, and the Beck depression inventory (BDI). Participants with a low burnout score and a high burnout score were identified as group A and group B and were compared about factors that could affect burnout.
Results: Group A and group B were similar in terms of sociodemographic parameters. OFER-chronic fatigue subscale median (IQR) scores for Group A and Group B were 43.0 (33.00-58.50) and 63.0 (50.0-83.0), respectively (p = 0.032). OFER-inter-shift fatigue subscale median (IQR) scores for Group A and Group B were 50.0 (37.00-57.75) and 37.0 (20.00-43.00), respectively (p = 0.005). Median scores of OFER-acute fatigue, ProQOL compassion satisfaction, and compassion fatigue, and BDI were similar between groups. In binary logistic regression analysis, the odds ratios of OFER-chronic fatigue and OFER-inter-shift fatigue were 1.027 (95% CI 0.980-1.077, p = 0.263) and 0.904 (95% CI 0.828-0.988, p = 0.025), respectively.
Conclusions: Our study revealed that the most crucial factor related to the occupational burnout of nurses might be inter-shift fatigue (recovery). Interventions to target inter-shift fatigue could potentially protect nurses from burnout.

Published: September 2021

Introduction: Multidrug-resistant bacterial infections such as pseudomonas aeruginosa, acinetobacter baumannii, klebsiella pneumoniae are common in Intensive Care Units. Colistin is preferred today due to limited treatment options sensitive to these pathogens. However, colistin has a high potential for nephrotoxicity. Some classifications (KDIGO, RIFLE, AKIN) are used for the diagnosis of Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). The incidence of AKI varies according to these classifications. In our study, we aimed to evaluate and compare the development of Acute Kidney Injury according to KDIGO criteria and RIFLE classification in patients followed up in the intensive care unit and started colistin therapy.
Materials and Methods: The data of 145 patients who started colistin treatment in the Internal Medicine Intensive Care Unit between January 2016 and December 2019 were retrospectively reviewed. Patients were grouped as those with Acute Kidney Injury and those without. Acute Kidney Injury evaluation was made according to RIFLE classification and KDIGO criteria.
Results: In patients who received colistin treatment, 75 patients were evaluated as AKI when KDIGO criteria were used for the AKI diagnosis, and 54 patients were evaluated as AKI when the RIFLE classification was used. While the number of KDIGO Stage 1 patients was 44, the number of patients in the RIFLE classification risk group was determined as 23. The mean SOFA score was calculated as 7.91±2.8 and the mean APACHE II score as 22.77±5.3. The duration of stay in the ICU was 22.60±9.04. The duration of stay in the ICU was shorter in the group who developed AKI. 44.8% of the patients included in the study died. 52% of patients who developed AKI and 37.1% of those who did not develop AKI died. 30-day mortality in patients with AKI was significantly higher than both KDIGO staging and RIFLE classification (p=0.03, p=0.005, respectively). Mortality rate increased 1.42 times in KDIGO Stage 1, 2.79 times in KDIGO Stage 2 and 2.10 times in KDIGO Stage 3. When evaluated by the RIFLE classification, the mortality rate increased 2.32 times in the Risk group, 3.12 times in the Injury group, 2.06 times in the Failure group and 2.15 times in the Loss group.
Conclusion: We observed an increase in the frequency of AKI in patients using colistin in the ICU, both according to KDIGO criteria and the RIFLE classification. This situation also increases the 30-day mortality. We think that the KDIGO criteria are more sensitive to diagnose AKI in these patients.

Authors: KELEŞOĞLU Şaban , YILMAZ Yücel 
Published: September 2021

Objective: COVID-19 infection has the potential to affect the cardiovascular system as well as respiratory disease. Recent studies have suggested that Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc ratios may be associated with ventricular arrhythmias. The goal of this study is to the evaluation of Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc ratios, in patients with Covid-19 infected with or without pneumonia.
Material and Method: 118 patients with COVID-19 infection were divided into 2 groups: patients with and without pneumonia, the control group consisted of 39 people. The Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc ratio were gauged by the 12-lead electrocardiogram.
Results: Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, Tp-e/QTc ratio were considerably high in COVID-19 patients with pneumonia, contrasted to the without pneumonia patients. (p < 0.01, p < 0.01, p

Published: September 2021

Aim: Ovarian torsion (OT) is one of the common gynecologic emergencies in reproductive age women. In our study, it is aimed to make a retrospective evaluation of OT cases developed after controlled ovarian stimulation (COH) for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment.
Material and Methods : This retrospective study was carried out in an IVF clinic between January 2015- December 2020 . Ten cases who definitely diagnosed as OT were included in this study. The medical records of these patients were examined. Data were analyzed according to demographic, clinicopathological, and sonographic findings.
Results: Ten of 5186 IVF patients developed OT (10/5186; % 0.19) and all OT cases were PCOS. The mean age of OT patients was 27.3±4.1 and the mean body mass index (BMI) was 23.5±6.2 respectively. The mean number of retrieved oocytes was 21.46 ± 4.12. Laparoscopy was performed in all OT patients for detorsion of the ovaries. It was found that OT occurred more frequently on the right side (8/10;80%).
Conclusion: OT is more common in cases with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The risk of OT is reduced by decreasing gonadotropin dosage as well as retrieved number of oocyte. Also, prefering frozen-thawed embryo transfer can decrease OT risk in PCOS patients.

Authors: ÖZTÜRK Reyhan 
Published: September 2021

Aim: While going through tough times in the fight against the pandemic, the approach of healthcare professionals to vaccination can enlighten the way of society. In our study, we aimed to investigate healthcare professionals’ views and approaches regarding the COVID-19 vaccine.
Methods: We carried out the study with a total of 500 voluntary healthcare professionals between January 2021 and April 2021. We administered a survey consisting of 15 multiple choice questions to the participants and put their responses into statistical analyses.
Results: There were a total of 500 participants, among whom 168 were males (33.6%). The mean age of the participants was 39.68 (21-62). While the number of physicians was 48 (9.6%), there were 158 (31.6%) nurses and midwives and 294 (58.8%) other healthcare personnel. Most of the participants (84.4%) thought the COVID-19 was a fatal infection. Again, the majority of participants believed in the necessity of vaccines (87%) and, especially, the COVID-19 (73.2%). Besides, the rate of those who were vaccinated against COVID-19 was 82%. Interestingly, about half of the participants (54%) believed in the protective effect of the vaccine. The participants showed ineffectiveness (34%) and side effects (28%) as the frequent reasons for non-vaccination. Among those who were positive towards vaccination, 16.7% had not been vaccinated yet. A substantial rate of the participants (67.4%) recommended the COVID-19 vaccine to those around them, but 6.8% did not. Sixty-three per cent of the participants would trust the local vaccine more. Finally, 67% of the participants thought that the vaccine would play a significant role in ending the pandemic.
Conclusion: In our study, we discovered that the vast majority of healthcare professionals were vaccinated and adopted a positive approach to vaccination. In addition, relevant training programs may help increase the number of individuals adopting entirely positive attitudes towards the vaccine.

Aim: The present study aims to reveal direct cost analysis of patients with severe allergic asthma receiving omalizumab treatment.
Material and Methods: Twenty-two adults with severe allergic asthma who were treated with omalizumab and were routinely checked on the 16th week, 1st year, and 3rd year of treatment were included in the study. Clinical and demographic features of subjects were retrospectively documented before and after omalizumab treatment as well as pharmaceutical, emergency and hospital costs.
Results: The monthly treatment cost per patient was higher during the 16th week, 1st year, and 3rd year (€411.80±190.84, €409.7±211.57, €404.2±157.30 respectively) when compared with the pre-treatment period (€107.91±48.62) (p
Pre-hospital antithrombotic drug use status of died COVID-19 patients

Published: September 2021

Objectives: In this study, we determine the prehospital antithrombotic drug use rates of patients in Covid-19 mortality to reveal the differences between patients using antithrombotic drugs and those who did not to show whether antithrombotic drugs impact the duration of stay in intensive care.
Methods: This retrospective study was conducted with 291 patients admitted to the xxx University Training and Research Hospital emergency department between March 13 and December 1, 2020. Patients whose PCR test was positive and who died in our hospital were included in the study.
Results: The median number of days in the intensive care unit of patients using acetylsalicylic acid (7; 3-11) was longer than patients who were not using acetylsalicylic acid (5; 1-10) (p=0.041). Also, the median days in the intensive care unit of patients who were not using any antithrombotic drug (5; 1-10) was shorter than patients who were using an antithrombotic drug (7;3-11) (p=0.032). There was no difference in patients using or not using other antithrombotic drugs (p=0.640) or acetylsalicylic acid and other antithrombotic drugs (p=0.979).
Conclusion: This study shows that the prehospital use of aspirin has a positive effect on survival as it prolongs the length of stay in the intensive care unit. Since it is known that one of the most important causes of death in Covid-19 is hypercoagulopathy and considering the irreversible antiplatelet activity of aspirin and since this activity lasts for up to 10 days, the result seems reasonable.
Yorùbá Sentential Negative Markers
Authors: Adebayo Taofeeq A. 
Published: September 2021

The main claim of this paper is that Yoruba has only four sentential negative markers, kìí, kò, kọ́ and má, contrary to a traditional assumption that there are six of them (Fabunmi 2013). It is argued that these markers can be subcategorized into two morphemes: the k-morpheme and the má-morpheme. The k- and má-morphemes are distinguished based on mood. The k-morpheme is used in realis mood while the má-morpheme is used in irrealis mood. Kìí, kò, and kọ́, which are taken to be allomorphs of the k-morpheme, are distinguished based on aspect and focus. It is shown that when the SN markers occur in a different modal-aspectual environment, this generally gives rise to the kind of form-interpretation mismatches described for functional items in Carlson (2006).
