Published: February 2019

Built on a philosophical and social analysis, the paper’s thesis is that corporate social responsibility is a new form of social dialogue. To support the thesis, the features of social communication (on the level of colloquial language), features of philosophical dialogue, and features of corporate social responsibility dialogue are compared. Following the presentation of the corporate social responsibility dialogue, the anthropological, economic and social advantages of a dialogue between companies and their stakeholders is described. One conclusion the analysis led to is that, in the current social-economic situation, further economic development has been increasingly dependent on a company’s dialogue with its stakeholders. Further benefits a company can derive from conducting a responsible dialogue with stakeholders are also indicated.

Authors: COŞAR AYAZ Sevin 
Published: February 2019

Objective: Our main goal was to
present normal BMD measurements in
pubertal males and females in order to make contribution to the the database of normative BMD values in our country. Methods:
In this study 30 pubertal subjects (14 males, 16 females) with Tanner stage
II-V having normal
BMD values were enrolled. The mean ages of the male and female groups were 13.6±1.4 and
13.7±1.6 years, respectively (P&gt;0.05). The BMD
measurements of lumbar spine (L1-4) and femoral neck were done by dual x-ray
absorptiometry (DXA). Lumbar and femoral BMD measurements of male and female
subjects were compared. Lumbar and femoral neck BMD values were correlated with
the age, weight, height and body mass index of the subjects within each gender
groups.Results: There
was no significant difference between mean ages, mean weight, mean height and
mean BMI of male and females (P&gt;0.05). The mean lumbar BMD value was statistically higher in pubertal females
compared to males (P&lt;0.05).
There was significant correlation between the mean age and the mean lumbar
BMD measurements in female group (P&lt;0.05). There was significant correlation
between the mean weight and the mean BMD measurements (lomber and femoral BMD)
in male group (P&lt;0.05).

Conclusion:
In conclusion, DXA is a useful, fast and accurate diagnostic tool for
performing BMD measurements of lumbar spine (L1-4) and femoral neck in pubertal
males and females.

Giriş: Endometriozis, uterus dışındaki
bölgelerde endometrium benzeri dokunun bulunmasıdır. Sıklıkla üreme organları
çevresinde görülmekle birlikte birçok organda izlenmiştir. Karın duvarı endometriozisi
bunlar arasında nadir görülenidir. Biz de bu çalışmamızda, çoğunluğu sezeryan
sonrası gelişen, karın duvarı
endometriozis vakalarına tedavi yaklaşımını ve sonuçlarını literatür eşliğinde
sunduk

Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmamız, Kahramanmaraş Elbistan
İlçe Devlet Hastanesinde Ocak 2017- Ağustos 2018 tarihleri arasında karın
duvarında kitle nedeni ile opere edilip,
patoloji sonucu ‘karın duvarı endometriozisi’ şeklinde raporlanan 17
hastanın dosya verilerine göre retrospektif olarak yapılmıştır.

Bulgular: Hastaların yaş aralığı 20 ile 38 arasında olup
yaş ortanca değeri 29 idi. Hastaların
3(% 17,6 )'ü desmoid tümör ile endometriozis ayrımı net yapılamayıp, karın
duvarında kitle ön tanısı ile, 14(%82,4)'ü ise endometriozis ön tanısı ile
opere edildi. 16(%94,1) hastanın sezeryan öyküsü vardı. Hastaların
15(%88,2)'inde ağrı ve ele gelen kitle şikayeti vardı. Görüntüleme yöntemi olarak hastaların

<p>The study focused on quantifying the extent and sources of the deterioration of the vegetation cover of the study area at the Sudanese Blue Nile watershed in relation to agriculture extension policy, inefficient management and Lack of governmental policy. </p><p>The Research was based on forest and vegetation inventory and soil analysis to determine the current situation using ground survey, forest inventory and remote sensing data as well as secondary information from other sources to cover historical records from 1990 to 2015.</p><p>The results showed a significant change in natural ecosystems during the study period due to the change in the land use patterns. The Closed forests, open forests, and rural settlement areas were found to decrease by -90%, -43% and -32% respectively during the period (1990-2000). This negative trend was reflected in a positive trend showed by expansion in agriculture (+267%), horticulture (+73%), bare land (144%), and urban areas (12%). During the period (2010-2015), which was the civil war period, the area of closed forests, open forests and urban areas were increased, in comparison to that of 1990-2000) by 201,10, and 247% respectively, while that of agriculture, Rural areas, and bare lands is negative (-51, -54 and -68% respectively).</p><p>The major factor for the change is mainly attributed to the migration of rural people towards urban areas due to civil war and economic crises. In addition, it is expected that there are other factors such as the absence of clear plans and coordination between concerned government authorities, at local and national levels, which may need further investigations and studies to clear the whole picture.</p>
Can Gas Permeability of Fractured Shale Be Determined Accurately by Testing Core Plugs, Drill Cuttings, and Crushed Samples?
Authors: Civan F.. 
Published: February 2019

Summary
Determining the nanodarcy gas permeability and other parameters of naturally and hydraulically induced fractured shale formations by testing the pressure transmission of core plugs, drill cuttings, and crushed samples is discussed. The author reviewed and modified the available methods for interpreting pressure tests with an emphasis on the differences between intrinsic and apparent permeability, and the generally overlooked temperature effects. It is significant to note that the temperature of gas varies during transport through porous rock samples and various dead-volumes when testing equipment used for permeability measurement is involved; this is because of unavoidable viscous dissipation and Joule-Thomson effects. Improved formulations and analysis methods that honor the relevant physics of gas transport and interactions with shale are presented, for both the generally assumed isothermal conditions and the realistic case of nonisothermal conditions. These improved formulations provide valuable insights when comparing and evaluating the currently available equations used for permeability calculations with the experimental data obtained by various testing methods. Better design and analysis of experiments for simultaneously determining several unknown parameters that impact the transport calculations, including deformation, adsorption, diffusion, viscous dissipation, Joule-Thomson effect, and deviation from Darcy flow, are described. It is recommended that the permeability and other parameters of shale samples be determined by simultaneous analysis of multiple pressure tests conducted under different conditions to accommodate temporally and spatially variable conditions by consideration of the temperature effect. The inherent limitations of the methods that rely on analytical solutions of the diffusivity equation on the basis of Darcy's law are also explained.

Published: February 2019

Abstract
Background: Hyperinflation of laryngeal mask cuffs may carry the risk of airway complications. The manufacturer recommends inflating cuff until the intracuff pressure reaches 60 cmH2O, or inflate with the volume of air to not exceed the maximum recommended volume. We prospectively assessed the correlation of cuff inflating volumes and pressures, and the appropriated the cuff inflating volumes to generate an intracuff pressure of 60 cmH2O in the adult laryngeal masks from different manufacturers.
Methods: Two groups of eighty patients requiring laryngeal mask size 3 and 4 during general anesthesia were randomized into 4 subgroups for each size of the laryngeal mask: Soft Seal® (Portex®), AuraOnceTM (Ambu®), LMA-ClassicTM (Teleflex®) and LMA-ProSealTM (Teleflex®). After insertion, the cuff was inflated with 5-ml increments of air up to the maximum recommended volume. After each 5-ml intracuff pressure was measured, the volume of air that generated the intracuff pressure of 60 cmH2O was recorded.
Results: Mean(SD) volume of air required to achieve the intracuff pressure of 60 cmH2O in Soft Seal®, AuraOnceTM, LMA-ClassicTM, LMA-ProSealTM laryngeal mask size 3 were 11.80(1.88), 9.20(1.88), 8.95(1.50) and 13.50(2.48) ml, respectively, and these volumes in laryngeal mask size 4 were 14.45(4.12), 12.55(1.85), 11.30(1.95) and 18.20(3.47) ml, respectively. The maximum recommended volume resulted in high intracuff pressures (>60 cmH2O) in all laryngeal mask types and sizes studied.
Conclusion: Approximately half of the maximum recommended volume is required to achieve the intracuff pressure of 60 cmH2O except LMA-ProSealTM which required two-thirds of the maximum recommended volume.

Risk factors for postoperative stroke in adults patients with moyamoya disease: a systematic review with meta-analysis
Authors: Wei Wei , Chen Xin , Jun Yu , Li Xuqin 
Published: February 2019

Abstract
Background: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to clarify the risk factors for postoperative stroke in adult patients with moyamoya disease (MMD).
Methods: We comprehensively searched MEDLINE/PubMed, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library for eligible published literature with regard to the risk factors and postoperative complications in adult patients with MMD. Statistical analysis was conducted using Stata version 12.0. Pooled odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI) were assessed for each risk factor.
Results: There were 8 studies encompassing 1649 patients who underwent surgery with MMD were selected for analysis. Preoperative ischemic event significantly increase the risk of postoperative stroke events (OR=1.40; 95%CI=1.02–1.92; P=0.039). PCA involvement correlate with an increased risk of post-infarction (OR=4.60; 95%CI=2.61–8.11; P=0.000). Compared to direct bypass, patients who underwent indirect bypass or combined bypass could significantly increase the risk of postoperative stroke events. (OR=1.17; 95%CI=1.03–1.33; p=0.017). MMD patients with diabetes were associated with an increased risk of postoperative stroke events (OR=4.02, 95 % CI=1.59-10.16; p=0.003). MMD patients with hypertension, age at onset and male sex were not associated with an increased risk of postoperative stroke events (P>0.05).
Conclusions: This systematic review and meta-analysis indicated that preoperative ischemic events, PCA involvement and diabetes were independent risk factors for postoperative stroke in MMD patients. Therefore, in order to ensure the curative effect of patients with MMD, it is very necessary to detect these risk factors and prevent postoperative complications in time.

Published: February 2019

Abstract
This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a simplified, low cost, pasteurization device in inactivating the diarrheal pathogens present in pond/lake/river water in order to provide safe potable water to people living in the rural areas of low resource countries. In this process, water in polyethylene bags was exposed to sunshine, where UV radiation emissions and heat absorption from the sunshine occurs simultaneously, and maintaining the heating at &lt;60 °C, and minimum UV radiation emissions of 996.2 W/m2 for approximately 30 minutes was found enough to inactivate diarrheal pathogens in water. The synergistic effect of heat, UV radiation emission and holding time causes the destruction of diarrheal pathogens. However, the performance of the device depends on the thickness of the insulation and the air gap between polyethylene bags. Regardless of sample sources, the highest population reduction of Escherichia coli observed in the bacterial challenge study was 6.8 ± 0.4 log CFU/ml. The physicochemical properties were found acceptable compared with USEPA potable water quality except turbidity, which is acceptable according to the BDS standard, and the shelf-life study results demonstrated that 6 months' storage of pasteurization device-treated water at room temperature is possible without compromising water quality. Therefore, this simplified pasteurization device could be useful in potable water-scarce areas of the world.

Published: February 2019

Background:Cervical cancer arises from the cervix and it is the 3rd most diagnosed malignancy and a foremost cause of cancer-related death in females. On the other hand, the expressions of EGFR and p53 are two important proteins observed in various studies on cervical cancer.Objective:The study aims to evaluate the beneficial effect of radiotherapy based on the regulation of p53 and EGFR gene in patients with cervical cancer.Methods:In this investigation, the regulation of important molecules responsible for cancer cell proliferation and DNA repair in the cervical cancer cell line was evaluated. The study comprises of an evaluation based on clinical study design from the malignant biopsies of 15 cervical cancer patients. The patterns of expression for the p53 gene and Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) were evaluated in DoTc2 and SiHa cervical cancer cell lines using clonogenic assay, western blotting and immunohistochemistry techniques from the malignant biopsies of the 15 patients.Results:The study observed that the regulation of p53 and EGFR was very weak after the exposure of the radiation. In addition, the expression of p53 and EGFR was observed in malevolent biopsy samples after radiation with a dosage of 1.8 Gy radiations. Additionally, the expression of p53 and EGFR was able to induce by a single dose of radiotherapy in the malignant biopsies whereas it was unable to induce in DoTc2 and SiHa cervical cancer cells.Conclusion:The study observed that radiation exposed cancer cell lines modulates the expression of p53 and EGFR gene. The study also highlights the gap between in vitro experimental models and clinical study design.
