Struma Ovarii: 3 years’ experience of a tertiary center
Authors: SOYSAL Sunullah 
Published: February 2019

Struma Ovarii: 3 years’ experience of a tertiary center Objective: Struma ovarii accounts 0.5-1% of all ovarian tumors and
2-5% of ovarian teratomas. Struma ovarii cases are usually benign, only 5-10%
of cases are malignant and the most common type of malignancy is papillary
thyroid carcinoma(70%). The struma ovarii may be seen in all ages but it is
generally seen in 5th and 6th decade of life. Although most of the cases are
benign, clinical and radiological similarities to malignant masses leads to
treatment with laparotomy. In the present study 3 years’ experience of a
tertiary center's struma ovarii cases were studied.Material-Methods: Patients who underwent surgery
for adnexal masses were investigated from achieves of the hospital. Among
pathology results 6 patients with struma ovarii were detected.

Results: When the ages
of the patients are evaluated, the youngest patient was 29 years old and the
oldest patient was 71 years old age. Two of the patients were in the fourth
decade and remaining two were in the fifth decade Maximum size of the adnexal
mass 18 cm and the minumum size was 6 cm in lenght.Among 6 cases of struma
ovarii 3 of them had a frozen section diagnosis of struma ovarii. In final
histopathological diagnosis 3 of the cases had accompanying malignancies. One
of the malignant case was a metastasis of breast carcinoma to struma ovarii.Conclusion: Struma ovarii is a monodermal teratoma where there
is extensive differentiation to thyroid tissue. Among ovarian tumors, it
accounts 0.5-1%. A total number of 185 patients underwent surgery in our center
for ovarian masses in the last 3 years. Six struma ovarii cases were detected
among those cases which approximately accounts 3.2% of all ovarian mass cases.
This increased ratio may be attributable to the status of our center in which
complicated cases are referred. Struma ovarii cases are generally benign in
nature. Only 5-10 % of malignant cases are detected in struma ovaries. The
mostly seen malignancy in struma ovarii is the papillary thyroid carcinoma. Among
our 6 cases, one patient (16%) had a malignancy of papillary carcinoma.
Similarly, Wei et al. showed 10 papillary carcinomas among 96 cases of struma
ovarii. Although struma ovarii has a benign course macroscopic and microscopic
examinations are important to detect rare malignancies. In most of the cases,
the course of strumosis is uneventful. In our cases, patients are followed up
without disease. Struma ovarii may show changes similar to thyroid pathologies.
Hashimoto like thyroiditis may be seen. Patients may have simultaneous thyroid
pathology. In our series preoperative and postoperative TSH levels and thyroid
ultrasound of all patients were in normal range. As a conclusion Struma ovarii
cases are generally benign in nature but malignancy risk and accompanying
thyroid diseases should be kept in mind during follow up of struma ovarii
cases.

(n:25) herhangi bir spesifik neden
belirtilmez iken %30,5 (n:29) hastada ek risk faktörü olmayıp transfüzyon
endikasyonu kronik anemi bulunmuştur. Obstetrik endikasyonlardan en sık uterin atoni
%18,9 (n:18)
saptanmıştır. Transfüzyon yapılan hastalarda kullanılanan kan ürünleriden
eritrosit süspansiyonu ortalama 2,09 ± 1,186 (0-7) ünite, TDP 1,49 ± 1,05 (0-4)
ünite uygulanmıştır.

Sonuç: Kan ve kan ürünleri transfüzyonları hayat kurtarıcı
tedaviler olmakla beraber istenmeyen komplikasyonlara da neden olabilirler. Gebe hastaların izlem ve takiplerinin düzenli
yapılması sağlanarak uygun demir ve multivitamin takviyeleri ile gebelikte
anemiyi önleyerek transfüzyon oranlarının düşürülebileceğini düşünüyoruz.

The Relationship Between Nomophobia and Maladaptive Coping Styles in a Sample of Italian Young Adults: Insights and Implications From a Cross-Sectional Study
Authors: Bragazzi Nicola Luigi , Re Tania Simona , Zerbetto Riccardo 
Published: February 2019

Background
Information technologies have become an integral part of the modern society; however, it is speculated that their overuse would result in addiction. Nomophobia refers to the irrational fear of being out of contact with virtual communication platforms. Generally, upon exposure to stress, humans adjust by employing cognitive mechanisms and behavioral efforts known as coping strategies.

Objective
The goal of the research was to explore coping styles implemented in subjects with nomophobia.

Methods
This was a cross-sectional study involving young adult participants (undergraduate students and younger subjects) who were recruited via an online survey using a snowball approach. The Italian version of the Nomophobia Questionnaire was administered to subjects. The measurement of coping styles was done using the 28-item Brief COPE questionnaire. Continuous data were computed as means and standard deviations, whereas categorical data were expressed as percentages, where appropriate. Correlation analysis was performed between the Nomophobia Questionnaire and Brief COPE scores. Multivariate regression analyses were conducted in order to shed light on the determinants of each coping style and its association with nomophobia.

Results
A total of 403 subjects took part in the study. Subjects with higher nomophobia scores responded when confronted with stress with behavioral disengagement (r=.16, P<.001), denial (r=.19, P<.001), self-blame (r=.12, P=.02), self-distraction (r=.22, P<.001), venting (r=.28, P<.001), use of emotional (r=.25, P<.001), and instrumental support (r=.16, P=.001).

Conclusion
Nomophobia subjects adopt maladaptive coping strategies when confronted with stress. The acknowledgment of how nomophobia subjects react provides insight and introduces a focus for preventative and interventional measures in this population.

Authors: Sudiana I Ketut 
Published: February 2019

This study was aimed at producing an argument-based science teaching textbook for junior high school students to improve student’s critical thinking disposition and critical thinking skill. This text book was produced by following Borg and Gall’s (1983). Research and development model for three years. The first year research collected information (need analysis) used to design the draft of the product in the form of argument-based science text book for junior high school to improve student’s disposition and critical thinking skill. The product of the first year research was in the form of a draft of the argument-based science textbook. The second year research tried out the argument-based science text book for junior high school in a limited scope, conducted in three SMP’s in Bali province. This try-out used pretest-posttest one group design. The number of students involved in the second year research was 88 students. The result of the second year research showed that the argument-based science text book for junior high school could improve students’ disposition skill by 21.48% and critical thinking skill by 57.22%. The third year research tried out the argument-based science text book for junior high on a large scale in three SMP’s in Bali province. The study used the pretest--posttest one group design. The number of students involved was 194 students, the control group and experiment group had 97 students respectively. As the comparison the text book entitled Buku Ajar IPA SMP Kurikulum 2013 was used. The data obtained from this third year research were in the form of scores for critical thinking disposition and critical thinking skill. These data were analyzed using multivariate covariance analysis at 5% level of significance. The large scale tries out in the third year was aimed at determining the effectiveness of the argument-based science teaching textbook for junior high school to improve student’s disposition and critical thinking skill. The results showed that there was a significant effect of the argument-based science teaching text book for junior high school students to improve student’s disposition and critical thinking skill on the student’s critical thinking disposition and critical thinking skill both simultaneously and partially or individually. Based on the test of means difference, the argument-based science teaching text book for junior high school students was better than Buku Ajar IPA SMP Kurikulum 2013 in improving the student’s critical thinking disposition and critical thinking skill both simultaneously and partially.

Published: February 2019

Background
The present study sought to evaluate the incidence of cerebrovascular events in a large cohort of patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) analysing possible predictors, clinical characteristics and prognosis of cardioembolic events secondary to atrial fibrillation.

Methods
A total of 671 consecutive patients (age 42.1 ± 17.0 years; men 63%) with a diagnosis of BrS were retrospectively analysed over a mean follow-up period of 10.8 ± 5.5 years. The diagnosis of ischemic stroke was made according to the AHA/ASA guidelines using computed tomography (CT) and angio-CT in the emergency department.

Results
Among 671 patients with BrS, 79 (11.8%) had atrial fibrillation. The incidence of cardioembolic stroke in patients with BrS and atrial fibrillation was 13.9% (11 events). These patients had a low CHA2DS2Vasc score (82%, 0 and 1). Patients with transient ischemic attack/stroke were more frequently asymptomatic (91 vs. 25%; P < 0.0001) and older (59.4 ± 11.2 vs. 43.9 ± 16.7; P = 0.004) as compared with those without cerebrovascular events.

Conclusion
The incidence of cardioembolic stroke in patients with BrS and atrial fibrillation was unexpectedly high. The cerebrovascular accidents were often the presenting clinical manifestation and were significantly associated with asymptomatic atrial fibrillation and older age. CHADS2 and CHA2DS2Vasc scores did not predict the unexpectedly high risk of thromboembolic events in this group of patients. The use of more invasive diagnostic tools might be useful in order to increase the rate of atrial fibrillation detection.

Abstract
Employees must adapt to these permanent changes by acquiring new skills required to use new technologies. One of the phenomena developed in order to meet these challanges is labour mobility. For the purpose of economic and social mobility, labour is a form of movement in relation to the ever-changing needs of the productive factors. Mobility in the labor market can be considered from several aspects. At the EU level, the phenomenon of labour mobility is promoted by the desire to meet the challanges arising in the labour market. From a economic and political point of view, the free movement of people is inteded to create a common market for labour and promoting EU citizens, by removing barriers in this area.

Authors: Rusu Maria-Lucia , Herman Ramona 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
In contemporary society, propaganda has a major impact due to the new technologies in the media (satellite television, the Internet) that ensure the rapid and instant transmission of information, thus expanding the audience. The concept of propaganda acts systematically in support of a doctrine, in order to persuade a large mass of individuals. It is generally associated with a negative action, considered to be reprehensible, and this is the consequence of the attempts that various totalitarian regimes have manifested abusively. Basically, propaganda is a conscious communication act with a political and revolutionary character representing a strategy of social influence. The element of difference is misinformation. Thus, this concept can be one of integration and consolidation of the society or, on the contrary, it can be a factor of agitation.

The Relationship between Coal Consumption and Economic Growth in Indonesia
Authors:   Irwandi
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Indonesia is one of the largest coal producer countries in the world. In the previous research, it is stated that coal producer countries are able to affect economic growth. The purpose of the study is to investigate the cointegration and causal relationships between coal consumption and income in Indonesia for the period of 1965- 2016 using Granger causality test based on Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) employing population as the control variable in bivariate system. The Augmented Dicky-Fuller (ADF) and Phillips-Perron (PP) tests were used to determine the variable stationarity. From Johansen’s co-integration tests, it is indicated that there is a long-run relationship between the variables. The empirical study shows that there is no causal relationship between coal consumption and economic growth in Indonesia since coal consumption in fact cannot affect economic growth in Indonesia. Export tax becomes government revenues earned from energy sectors including coal.
The Flypaper Effect Phenomenon: Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Tasri Ansharullah 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
One of the implementations of autonomy policy is fiscal decentralization. The State gives chance to every local government for improving its fiscal ability. Original Local Government Revenue (PAD) is fiscal potency owned local government to improve local government independence to promote welfare to society. To accelerate fiscal independence of local government equally, the central government sends transfer funds in the form of General Allocation Funds (DAU) which aims to comply local government expenditure that has not fulfilled. However, problems faced is local government expenditure management still much more affected by DAU rather than PAD. It indicates that local government still depends on central government to comply expenditure called flypaper effect. This research aims to analyze the effect of PAD and DAU on local government expenditure by identifying whether occurs flypaper on provincial government in Indonesia. The method used in this research is analysis regression of panel data with Generalized Least Square (GLS). Data used is panel data from 34 provinces in Indonesia between 2008-2017. Based on results estimation, PAD and DAU positively and significantly affect local government expenditure. However, the DAU more affects local government expenditure compared with PAD. This exhibits that flypaper effect phenomenon occurred on provincial government in Indonesia which local government expenditure response more affected by DAU than PAD. It is happening due to the provincial government still relies on central government to comply its expenditure illustrated with high DAU transfers. This research concludes that decentralization policy in Indonesia is not effective yet. Thus, the government needs to adjust decentralization policy in order to improve regional fiscal independence.
Vintage Design Furniture in Albania, a New Retro Design Paradigm in the Post-Communist Era
Authors: Curraj Erida 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The dynamics of the Albanian market in lieu of the multifaceted transformations following the collapse of the communist regime and moving towards the accession processes in the European Union as well as the demographics of the Albanian society as a whole, deeply impact the ways in which furniture products are designed, development and produced. This paper draws from my doctoral study which explored the transformation of furniture products from communism to post-communism. The doctoral study confirmed that: the impact of moving from mass production in a centralized economy to free mass customization in market economy has not radically transformed the fundamental properties of furniture but has affected the design, development, delivery and materiality of products. In this light, this paper will zoom into the furniture designs during post communism in Albania by exploring two principle paradigms vintage and retro. First this paper argues that furniture design and production in the centralized economy, are introduced within the vintage paradigm in post-communist. The data collecting through observation demonstrate a high level of interest for the retro design in a free market economy. As the result the paper suggest the local actors, businesses and academia to use and persist nostalgia and retro design in furniture and their component.
