Architektur und Ethik
Authors: Friesen Hans 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
The architect who plans and designs our living environment in town and country can neither think exclusively technologically nor act completely independently. Rather, his designs and actions are always in moral relation to the environment, i. e. to nature and landscape as well as to the city/town or the people who live daily with and within the built space and thus have a kind of effective group affiliation. But to what extent does architecture – in the sense of Hegel’s phrase the “sensuous in the meaningful” – already possess ethical implications?
Emancipating myself, the students and the language: Brazilian teachers’ attitudes towards ELF and the diversity of English
Authors: Cogo Alessia , Siqueira Sávio 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
A great amount of the findings in ELF research has not yet reached the regular practitioner in different parts of the world. Despite the fact that ELF research has been solidly advancing, very little has been found out about teachers’ questioning their role in the context of ELF, the global position of English, their role in possibly reproducing or resisting discourses of dominance, inequalities, hegemony, among others. This paper investigates teachers’ attitudes towards ELF, and what influences them, with pre- and in-service teachers in Brazil, the former from a public university and the latter from a prestigious language institute located in Salvador, the capital city of Bahia, Brazil. The findings have shown that regardless of the differences in experience and background knowledge, both groups have demonstrated a very positive attitude towards ELF, although many questions and doubts were brought up when it came to conceiving the teaching of ELF-oriented classes on a regular basis. At a broader level, both groups highlighted the link between an ELF-oriented pedagogy and emancipation and open-mindedness, a way of liberating the teachers from the straightjacket of traditional ELT.
Synergistic effect between CO2 and H2O2 on ethylbenzene oxidation catalyzed by carbon supported heteropolyanion catalysts

Published: February 2019

Abstract
A series of Keggin heteropolytungstate salts (M1.5PW12O40, M=Cu, Co, Zn and Fe) were prepared and characterized utilizing inductively coupled plasma spectrometry (ICP), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra, and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) light spectroscopy. The as-prepared catalysts were tested for the oxidation of ethylbenzene by using carbon dioxide/hydrogen peroxide (CO2/H2O2) as the oxidizing agent system under solvent-free conditions. The results indicated that the heteropolytungstates catalyzed the side chain oxidation of ethylbenzene leading to acetophenone as a major product. The effect of various reaction parameters on ethylbenzene oxidation over the best catalyst of the series, namely Co1.5PW12O40 loaded on activated carbon (AC), was investigated. It was found that the selectivity depends strongly on the reaction temperature. Higher reaction temperatures reduce the conversion due to the decomposition of H2O2. Oxidation by a large amount of H2O2 decreases the conversion owing to a decrease of the solubility of ethylbenzene in an aqueous medium, and favors the oxidation of the reaction products, which are more soluble in an aqueous medium. The increase of the CO2 pressure improves both the conversion and the selectivity of acetophenone due to the involvement of the percarbonate species (HCO4−) responsible for oxidation by oxygen transfer.

Published: February 2019

Purpose: The aim of present study was to describe the branching pattern of the facial nerve according to interconnections between the branches, to examine the number of terminal branches, to determine anatomical variations and to emphasize the importance of these in terms of pediatric parotid surgery.Materials and Methods: Thirty-two parotid regions from eight female and eight male fetus cadavers (gestational ages between 21.0 and 35.5 weeks according to foot lengths) were dissected. The branching pattern of the facial nerve, terminal branch numbers and interconnections between the branches were examined and described. In present study, the facial nerve was classified using Davis et al.’ classification. But, we encountered interconnections between facial nerve branches that were not mentioned previously and the branching patterns formed by these interconnections were named as Type x and Type y.Results: Out of the total 32 cases, 13 (40.63 %) were Type I, 7 (21.88 %) were Type II, 3 (9.38 %) were Type III and 5 (15.63 %) were Type VI. Type IV and Type V were not encountered. Type x were in 2 (6.25 %) cases and Type y were in 2 (6.25 %) cases. The mean total number of nerve terminal branches was 7.90 ± 1.49.Conclusion: Investigation outcomes presented in this study have defined branching pattern and anatomical variations of the facial nerve branches and can be assist with the protection of the nerve during surgical procedures and prevent surgery-associated damage to the nerve, and thus facial paralysis.

Published: February 2019

Purpose:This study was conducted to determine the complementary and
alternative medicine used by individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus for
blood glucose control as well as their self-efficacy level and the factors
affecting the use of CAM. Materials and Methods:This descriptive study was conducted with a total of 350
individuals with diabetes mellitus in a university hospital. In order to collect the data,
Personal information form including descriptive and disease characteristics of
the individuals, Self-efficacy Scale for patients with Type 2 Diabetes, and the
complementary and alternative medicine questionnaire were used. Results:The average age of all individuals participated in the study
was 55.83±8.82 (min: 29-max:78). The rate of current CAM use of the patients was 38.3%.
According to the logistic regression analysis, self-efficacy total score,
fasting blood glucose, and going to physician control after 6 months were found
to be the important determinants for the use of CAM. Conclusion:Especially herbal products from the complementary and
alternative medicine methods were determined to be commonly used. It was also determined that the
majority of the patients did not inform the healthcare professionals about the
use of CAM during their routine controls. In this respect, especially the
nurses, who have important roles in diabetes management, spend more time with
the patients, and involve directly in their care, should question the use of
CAM and the importance of informing the healthcare professionals by the
individuals about the use of CAM should be emphasized.

Published: February 2019

Purpose: Multiple myeloma is a heterogeneous disease, for which an understanding of the prognostic and predictive value of chromosomal aberrations is necessary to prescribe the most appropriate therapy. We aimed to document the frequencies of chromosomal aberrations in our institute and searched the relationships between therapy regimens and chromosomal aberrations. Materials and methods: We analyzed the frequency of del(17p13), del(13q14), t(11;14), and t(4;14) in patients with MM by interphase-fluorescent in situ hybridization who were diagnosed between January 2010 and December 2015 in our institute. We researched the relationship between response to conventional chemotherapy and Bortezomib based chemotherapy.Results: Eighty patients (72.7%) had at least one chromosomal aberration. The most frequently observed aberration was del(17p13) (48.2%), followed by del(13q14) (40.9%), t(11;14) (16.4%), and t(4;14) (11.8%). In clinically analyzed subgroup (n=67), 36 patients who received Bortezomib based chemotherapy showed a higher response rate (55.6%) than conventional chemotherapy group (48.4%). With respect to chromosomal aberrations, response rates were higher in Bortezomib based therapy group (63.2%) than conventional chemotherapy group (50%) in del (17p13) positive patients as well as in del (13q14) positive patients (61.5% in Bortezomib based, 50% in conventional chemotherapy group).

Conclusion: Bortezomib-containing regimens may have beneficial effects on the clinical outcome of patients with del (17p13) and del (13q14).

Authors: Dursun İhsan , Taşcanov Mustafa Beğenç 
Published: February 2019

Purpose: Arrhythmias and conduction disturbances are common during acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and a major cause of death in the pre-hospital phase. The aim of this study was to investigate common predictors for all arrhythmias in patients with ST elevation AMI (STEMI) during in-hospital phase. Materials and Methods: Ninety patients (74 male, 55 ±11 years) with acute STEMI were included. Clinical charesteristics were recorded and laboratory parameters including serum C- reactive protein (CRP), creatinine kinase MB (CKMB) and potassium levels were measured. The patients were divided into two groups according to development of arrhythmias.Results: Group 1 (n=42) patients had new onset arrhythmias and Group 2 (n=48) patients had without arrhythmias. Median baseline CRP levels were significantly higher in group 1 (36.6 (21.8-77) mg/dl vs. 21.8 (24.2-30.7) mg/dl), especially in patients with atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias. Logistic regression analysis showed that baseline higher CRP level, peak CKMB level and inferior localization of AMI were significantly associated with the development of arrhythmia following AMI. Conclusion: Levels of CRP and CKMB and inferior infarct localization have predictive values for all the arrhythmic events during AMI. CRP levels were found to be associated with both atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. The assessment of CRP levels can be used to detect patients at high risk for arrhythmic events after STEMI.

Purpose: Deep vein thrombosis is a life-threatening pathology which can lead to long-term morbidity due to post-thrombotic syndrome. The aim of this study was to assess early and midterm results of the patients undergoing ultrasound-accelerated catheter-directed thrombolysis for the treatment of acute iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis without popliteal vein thrombosis.Materials and Methods: A total of 18 patients (11 males, 7 females; mean age: 51.89±16.29 years; range, 16 to 72 years) who were diagnosed with acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis between November 2014 and December 2015 were included in this retrospective cross-sectional study. Results: Complete thrombolysis was successful in 88.9% (n=16) and in % 11.1 (n=2) patients with partial clot lysis. No pulmonary embolism was seen, while bleeding at the catheter-insertion site was observed in one patient. In another patient, underlying lesions were successfully treated with balloon angioplasty. No in-hospital mortality or severe complications were observed. The mean follow-up was 31.56±3.35 (range, 25 to 37 months). Ultrasound findings of all the patients were evaluated by a single experienced radiologist. Duplex ultrasound was performed at one month, six months, one year, and two years following intervention and the iliac vein patency rate was found to be 100%, while superficial femoral vein insufficiency was in 5.6% (n=1), 11.1% (n=2), 16.2% (n=3), and 16.2% (n=3), respectively.Conclusion: Based on our findings, ultrasound-accelerated catheter-directed thrombolysis is a safe and effective method for carefully selected patients with acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis without popliteal vein thrombosis
