Gut Mycobiota and Fungal Metabolites in Human Homeostasis
Authors: Mogilnicka Izabella , Ufnal Marcin 
Published: July 2018

Background:Accumulating evidence suggests that microbiota play an important role in host’s homeostasis. Thus far, researchers have mostly focused on the role of bacterial microbiota. However, human gut is a habitat for several fungal species, which produce numerous metabolites. Furthermore, various types of food and beverages are rich in a wide spectrum of fungi and their metabolites.Methods:We searched PUBMED and Google Scholar databases to identify clinical and pre-clinical studies on fungal metabolites, composition of human mycobiota and fungal dysbiosis.Results:Fungal metabolites may serve as signaling molecules and exert significant biological effects including trophic, anti-inflammatory or antibacterial actions. Finally, research suggests an association between shifts in gut fungi composition and human health. Changes in mycobiota composition have been found in obesity, hepatitis and inflammatory bowel diseases.Conclusion:The influence of mycobiota and dietary fungi on homeostasis in mammals suggests a pharmacotherapeutic potential of modulating the mycobiota which may include treatment with probiotics and fecal transplantation. Furthermore, antibacterial action of fungi-derived molecules may be considered as a substitution for currently used antibacterial agents and preservatives in food industry.

Trump, Snakes and the Power of Fables
Authors: Stevens Katharina 
Published: July 2018

At a recent rally, Donald Trump resumed a habit he had developed during his election-rallies and read out the lyrics to a song. It tells the Aesopian fable of The Farmer and the Snake: A half frozen snake is taken in by a kind-hearted person but bites them the moment it is revived. Trump tells the fable to make a point about Islamic immigrants and undocumented immigrants from Southern and Central America: He claims the immigrants will cause problems and much stricter immigration-policies are needed.
I assume that Trump treats the fable as an argumentative device for supporting his stance on immigration. He uses it as a source-analogue both for the conclusion that immigrants will cause problems and for changing the frame in which immigrants and those willing to let them enter are seen. This gives me opportunity to examine the effect fables have as argumentative devices. Fables are a popular and effective choice for political argumentation. They are slimmed down, semi-abstract narratives, well suited for directing the audience's attention to a few properties of an otherwise complex situation. However, this also makes it easy to use them for manipulating an audience into oversimplifying complex contexts and stereotyping human beings.
Sacred Genealogies: Spiritualities, Materiality and the Limits of Western Feminist Frames
Authors: HOLMES CHRISTINA M. 
Published: July 2018

After a turbulent period during which feminist studies disavowed ecofeminism, the field is finding new popularity with strains that have made their way into gender and sustainable development studies and new material feminisms. To do so, they have had to evacuate all traces of spirituality. This essay reviews the circumstances under which spiritual ecofeminisms fell from favor before turning to theologians, religious studies scholars, and Chicana feminist theorists and artists for whom spirituality plays a central role. It asks: how can we take spirituality and religion seriously again in ecofeminism? Is there room to respect spirituality even in feminist environmental safe houses, whether socialist and development oriented or science-infused new material approaches? This essay concludes with artist Amalia Mesa-Bains’s installations as a case study to illustrate what Chicana environmentalisms could teach us about materiality and spirituality within a decolonial framework.

Comparison of the thermal effects of Coblation and Radiofrequency waves in a porcine turbinate model
Authors: Vogt Klaus , Daine-Loza Inese , Sperga Maris 
Published: July 2018

Abstract

BACKGROUND. Radiofrequency reduction and Coblation are widely used procedures for the treatment of functionally enlarged turbinates with an appropriate outcome. Bleeding and crusting are postoperative complications for Coblation. Thermographic measurements and histological analyses were used to elucidate the causes.

MATERIAL AND METHODS. In a porcine turbinate model, double-needle electrodes of different lengths were tested using a 4MHz radiofrequency current with either automatic energy limitation or a predetermined energy amount of 200 J. Coblation, according to the manufacturer’s instructions, was carried out with a Reflex Ultra 45 wand. The generated temperature was measured with thermo-probes at the tip of the electrodes. The mucosa was subsequently investigated histologically.

RESULTS. Without preoperative saline injection, all procedures generate temperatures < 100° C. After saline injection, excessive temperatures are reached by Coblation after the release of plasma in a closed system. The follow-up is a severe deterioration of the microscopic structures of the mucosa. The low-temperature advantages of Coblation are only effective if the mandatory saline solution rinses the surface. The Radiofrequency applications deliver more predictable results.

CONCLUSION. For the treatment of the functional enlargement of the turbinates, Radiofrequency current with proofed settings should be chosen.

Abstract
Small cell neuroendocrine carcinoma (SCNEC) of the nasopharynx and nasal cavity is a rare condition. It is an aggressive malignancy with a high recurrence rate. Despite its rarity in the sinonasal region, it may occur as a second primary malignancy. Patients with cancer of the head and neck region are more prone to develop a second primary tumor due to the field cancerization phenomenon, and a higher incidence is seen in those who have previously received radiation therapy. A detailed clinical and histopathological examination is pivotal to diagnose SCNEC as a second primary malignancy. We wish to highlight such a peculiar case from our center.
Abducens nerve palsy on a patient with sphenoid fungal rhinosinusitis and cavernous sinus meningioma – Case report
Authors: Marza Andreea , Manea Claudiu 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
We report a case of a 47-year-old patient recently diagnosed with left abducens nerve palsy, who was admitted in our clinic with diplopia. The cranio-facial CT scan revealed left sphenoid fungal rhinosinusitis and the patient underwent endoscopic surgery with complete removal of the fungal material. The immediate postoperative evolution of the patient was favourable, with partial improvement of diplopia. The first month follow-up visit revealed the recurrence of the diplopia, so the patient performed an MRI scan of the brain that showed a cavernous sinus meningioma. The patient was referred to a neurosurgeon who choose a “wait-and-see” strategy instead of surgery.
The paper presents the limits of computed tomography versus magnetic resonance imaging in the radiologic diagnosis of intracranial tumors.

Published: July 2018

Artan dünya nüfusu daha fazla tarımsal
ürün ihtiyacı doğurmuş, artan üretim ise tarımsal atıkların miktarını giderek
artırmıştır. Tarımsal atıklara, ülkemizdeki tarımsal üretim bakımından birçok
üründe ilk on sıraya giren Çanakkale ilinde de sıklıkla rastlanılmaya
başlanmıştır. Bu durum, tarımsal atıkların çevre boyutu ve toprak verimliliği
gibi amaçlarla yeniden değerlendirilmesi veya giderimi konularına yönelik
bilimsel çalışmalar yapılmasını gerektirmiştir. Bu kapsamda, Çanakkale ili bağ
alanlarında her yıl budama sonrası açığa çıkan asma atıklarından elde edilen
‘Asma Budama Atıkları Kompostu (AK)’ ile Rize
çay fabrikalarından elde edilen ‘Çay Çöpü Kompostu (ÇK)’nun materyal olarak
kullanıldığı bir araştırma kurgulanmıştır. Her iki tarımsal atığın kompost
haline getirilmesinin ardından, kompostlar kuru madde esasına göre %0
(kontrol), %1 ve %3 seviyelerinde toprağa karıştırılarak, üçer tekerrürlü
olacak şekilde iki boyutlu (2 Dimention: 2D) şeffaf cam düzeneklere alınmıştır.
Düzeneklerdeki karışım tarla kapasitesine kadar nemlendirilerek, düzeneklere
iki farklı türden 3’er adet solucan (Eisenia
fetida ve Octodrilus transpadanus)
bırakılmıştır. Üç gün 180C’de inkübasyon sonrası 2D düzeneklerindeki
solucan hareketlerine bağlı oluşan ‘Galeri Alanları (GA)’ ölçülmüştür. Elde
edilen verilere göre; her iki solucan türünün kontrol grubunda (hiç bir karışım
yapılmayan düzeneklerde) 2D düzeneğinin her iki tarafındaki GA arasındaki
farklılık önemli olmamıştır (p&gt;0,05). Bir tarafı kontrol ve diğer tarafında
karışımların olduğu düzeneklerde, O.
transpadanus türü solucan konulan %1 ÇK uygulamasında, uygulama yapılan
tarafta ölçülen GA, kontrole göre daha yüksek olmuştur (p&lt;0,05). E. fetida konulan hiç bir AK ve ÇK
seviyelerinde, GA değerleri arasındaki farklılık önemli seviyelere ulaşmamıştır
(p&gt;0,05). Bu araştırmada, iki ayrı solucan türünün toprağa karıştırılan
farklı organik materyallere yönelimlerinin farklılık gösterdiği, O. transpadanus türünün kompostlanmış
organik materyallere yönelimlerinin E.

Citizen Engagement Circumvented: An Analysis of Liquid Waste Information/Knowledge, Control and Environmental Policy Perspectives in Harare, Zimbabwe
Authors: Nyandoro Mark 
Published: July 2018

Abstract
Evidence of the socio-political and economic impacts of liquid waste at the global level is rapidly emerging as an important new field of study in the twenty-first century, as testified by the works of Gandy, Reid, Barnes, Alley and Zimmer on the politics and history of liquid waste. This evidence is increasingly being considered by scholars from multidisciplinary backgrounds (Economic History, Water Engineering, Biology, Geography and Environmental Science), who focus on different types of liquid wastes, wastewater, sewage control and waste management. However, whilst the work on environmental forewarnings by Kwiatkowska and Holland plausibly notes that 'modern environmental consciousness was slow to form', its reflections may be extended to include information and education as a management tool and as a catalyst for speeding up awareness/consciousness levels in the policy formulation and practice processes. This article proffers an economic history analysis of citizen perception to encapsulate major forces on how citizen engagement on liquid waste management - emphasising information and education - was circumvented by influential decision-makers in Zimbabwe from 1980 to 2016. There was a lot of political change and scientific advancement throughout this era. Whilst this is quite a lengthy time, it is used to flag enough about decision making or policy perspectives in liquid waste management. The paper does so by analysing common longitudinal trends, using different methods, to give the 36-year period reasonable treatment. The overall aim of the paper is to use environmental policy and education perspectives on liquid waste control and society's responses (and attitudes) to them to identify and understand the major policy constraints and the environmental impact of liquid waste on Zimbabwean urban society, based on the case study selected of the capital city, Harare.
