Authors: Rerksuppaphol Sanguansak , Rerksuppaphol Lakkana 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Background: Cyproheptadine has been used therapeutically as an appetite stimulant in various chronic illnesses. However, no clinical data are available on the therapeutic effect of cyproheptadine in malnourished children without underlying pathological conditions. Objective: Investigate the short-term effect of cyproheptadine on weight gain in malnourished children who appear otherwise normal on physical examination. Methods: Seventy malnourished children who were otherwise normal on physical examination were recruited to participate in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Thirty-seven children were randomized to a treatment regimen of cyproheptadine (0.1 mg/kg/dose, three times/day for eight weeks), and 33 children were randomized to receive placebo over a period of eight weeks. Subjects were evaluated at a baseline visit and at four visits at two-week intervals. Parameters assessed included baseline demographics, anthropometrics (weight, height, skin-fold thickness, waist and hip circumferences, and fat composition by bioelectric impedance analysis), adverse events, and pill counts. Data were analyzed by Student’s t-test and Chi-square test; a p- value < 0.05 was considered significant. Results: No significant differences were observed in baseline demographic characteristics and anthropometric parameters between the groups. The cyproheptadine-treated group showed a significantly greater weight gain over the baseline compared with the control group. The absolute weight gain was significantly higher in the cyproheptadine-treated group than in the control group at the end of study. No significant difference was observed in the change in the body fat percentage between the groups. No serious adverse events were reported. Adverse events included mild sedation, nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and headache. No significant differences in the frequency of adverse events were observed between the groups. Conclusions: Cyproheptadine treatment was well tolerated and resulted in significant weight gain in malnourished children, without increasing the body fat percentage.

Published: April 2018

Abstract
Background: The undescended testis represents a common condition affecting male infants with significant clinical implications such as infertility and testicular malignancy. There is controversy as to the diagnosis when a clinical examination fails to identify a testis. Objective: Investigate the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of undescended testis, and evaluate the correlation between the preoperative ultrasonographic data and operative findings. Material and method: Thirty-nine boys (age: 3months -12 years) with undescended testes were examined between January 2003 and December 2007. All the boys had undergone a sonogram performed for localizing the undescended testes. Only 20 boys were sent for inguinal exploration, or other surgical procedures for localizing the undescended testes. We calculated specificity, sensitivity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and the accuracy of ultrasonographic diagnosis in boys with undescended testes. Results: Twenty-nine undescended testes were included in this study. Ultrasonography had a sensitivity of 82%, a specificity of 0%, PPV of 96%, NPV of 0%, and accuracy of 79% in the diagnosis of the undescended testis. Conclusions: The sensitivity and specificity including NPV of uetrasound had the unsatisfactory outcomes.
Professor Clement Alfred Finch: hematologist, humanist, and mentor for many (July 4, 1915 - June 28, 2010)
Authors: Wilde Henry 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Clement Alfred Finch was a physician, researcher and educator who helped advance the scientific basis and practices of diagnosis and treatment of anemia since the time when little was known about the disease. He was born in New York, USA and graduated from medical school in 1941. He had a 60-year tenure at the University of Washington and published extensively (more than 300 scholarly articles and close to 30 key reviews). He was instrumental in collaborating with key Thai hematologists, particularly at the premier Siriraj Medical School. His contribution on iron metabolization in the bloodstream has been a corner stone of hematology. It included seminal research which led to the widespread supplementation with iron in diets by women to avoid iron deficiency anemia.
Methods for the Design of Climate Change Scenario in Slovakia for the 21St Century
Authors: Melo Marian , Lapin Milan , Damborska Ingrid 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
In this paper methods of climate-change scenario projection in Slovakia for the 21st century are outlined. Temperature and precipitation time series of the Hurbanovo Observatory in 1871-2007 (Slovak Hydrometeorological Institute) and data from four global GCMs (GISS 1998, CGCM1, CGCM2, HadCM3) are utilized for the design of climate change scenarios. Selected results of different climate change scenarios (based on different methods) for the region of Slovakia (up to 2100) are presented. The increase in annual mean temperature is about 3°C, though the results are ambiguous in the case of precipitation. These scenarios are required by users in impact studies, mainly from the hydrology, agriculture and forestry sectors.
Criteria of Thermal Classifications of Lakes
Authors: Skowron Rajmund 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Since the early twentieth century limnological literature has presented numerous classifications of lakes. Most frequently these classifications refer to genetic systematization. In the latter half of the twentieth century new divisions of inland water bodies were introduced with respect to mictic, trophic and thermal properties. These proposals, however, make up a very diverse and scattered material, particularly due to the considered criteria. The author of this article decided to verify opinions and criteria of these systematisations to provide a better understanding of the problem.

Abstract
Based on palaeobotanical analyses of organic deposits, as well as geomorphological and geological studies at four sites in various geomorphological locations in relation to tributaries of the Bzura River, the presence of traces of human activity, its intensiveness, and classification to cultural levels were analysed. A pattern of later and later settlement in areas remote from the axis of the Warsaw-Berlin streamway was observed along with the gradual introduction of settlement from river valley bottoms to watershed zones.
The System Performance of Half-Duplex Relay Network under Effect of Interference Noise
Authors: Voznak Miroslav , Tran Hoang Quang Minh , Nguyen N. Tan 
Published: April 2018

In recent years, harvesting energy from radio frequency (RF) signals has drawn significant research interest as a promising solution to solve the energy problem. In this paper, we analyze the effect of the interference noise on the wireless energy harvesting performance of a decode-and-forward (DF) relaying network. In this analysis, the energy and information are transferred from the source to the relay nodes in the delay-limited transmission and Delay-tolerant transmission modes by two methods: i) time switching protocol and ii) power splitting protocol. Firstly, due to the constraint of the wireless energy harvesting at the relay node, the analytical mathematical expressions of the achievable throughput, outage probability and ergodic capacity of both schemes were proposed and demonstrated. After that, the effect of various system parameters on the system performance is rigorously studied with closed-form expressions for system throughput, outage probability, and ergodic capacity. Finally, the analytical results are also demonstrated by Monte-Carlo simulation. The results show that the analytical mathematical and simulated results agree with each other.

Numerical Determination of Truncation Orders in the Correction Method for Stokes Equations
Authors: Tran Phuong Minh , Nguyen Nhan Thanh 
Published: April 2018

In [15], the authors propose an accurate method, namely the correction method, for computing hydrodynamic interaction between very closed spherical particles in a Stokes fluid. The accuracy of this method depends on two truncation parameters for approximating the Neumann to Dirichlet matrix and the velocity correction respectively. In this paper, we establish a numerical determination to estimate these parameters. We perform some numerical experiments to present our method.

TÜRKÜ SÖZLERİNDEKİ METAFORİK ANLATIM
Authors: YILDIRIM Ali 
Published: April 2018

Halk edebiyatımızın en önemli ürünlerinden olan türkülerimiz,
sadece ezgisi ile değil verdiği mesajlar ile de kültürümüzün yapı
taşlarındandır. Bu ürünler hemen dünden bugüne oluşturulmuş metinler değildir.
Türküler yüzlerce yıllık kültürel birikimlerin fışkıran filizleri gibidir. Onu
bir anda ortaya çıkaran esaslı bir kök ve gövde vardır. Dolayısıyla bir yakanı,
söyleyeni olan türküler de, bu ortak kültür havzasının bir parçasıdır. Türkü
sözlerini, karşıdakini bilgilendiren, muhatabına basit aktarımlarda bulunan
metinler olarak görmek büyük bir eksiklik olur; zira türkü sözleri aynı zamanda
insanımızın irfanını, felsefesini, hayata bakışını, hayatı algılama tarzını da
ortaya koyan metinlerdir.

Bu açılardan
türkü sözlerini irdelediğimizde, gerek anonim ve gerekse bir ilk söyleyeni olan
türkülerimizde etkili ve çarpıcı anlatım tarzı olan metaforik kurgulara
ulaşmaktayız. Şüphesiz bunlara, daha çok söyleyeni bilinen türkülerde
rastlamaktayız; ancak âşıkların da o toplumun bilinç ve bilinçaltından
beslendiği gerçeğini de unutmamak gerekir.

In the period of AbŸlhamid the second after the war of The Ottoman – Russian, 1877-78 mainly in the Balkans, the Muslim people, in groups, migrated to the Ottoman lands. In these emigrants, an important section of the orphan, old, widow, disabled, sick and children was living by begging in İstanbul. A part of them preferred to beg although they were in a position to work. Abdülhamid decided to bu ild a charity named ‘Darülaceze’, for these needy muslim and non-muslim persons, which doesn’t discriminate the difference of religion and nationality. It was given to The Internal Affairs Ministry the work of the management and the construction of the Institution. Halil Rõfat Pasha, who was The Internal Affairs Minister at that time, worked as The Head of Building Commission of this Institution, too. Halil Rõfat Pasha, who had a right fame with his workings in the field of public works in the periods of his governorship, assumed the building work of this institution. The mosque, church and synagogue were side by side in this institution which was built to serve for 1500 needy persons with the help of the muslim and non-muslim people, mainly being the Sultan.

Published: April 2018

Barbaros Hayreddin Pasha, who was resurrected by İskender Pala’s pencil in the novel titled Efsane-The Legend formed the image of Barbaros, who was dealt with as a novel character in parallel with historical reality. Barbaros Hayreddin Pasha’s life, a historical figure, was dealt with as whole in the possibilities of a novel and offered us an opportunity for character analysis. In the novel, Barbaros, who shows the feature of type evolved into a character, the context is appropriate for the reader to create an image of Barbaros without losing his historical and personal tenets through a talented fiction.In this study, within the limits of a paper we conducted a character analysis of Barbaros using Freud’s dynamic and comprehensive psychoanalysis theory which was put forward to account for human in terms of his/her childhood, dream, concerns and misunderstandings. Besides this, referring to Mehmet Kaplan’s book Type Analyses Barbaros Hayreddin’s historical and mythical personality was examined and a typological analysis was performed. Character and type analysis were performed for each case and we tried to find out the link the novel creates between the past, the present and the future. We argued that if characters are purified or crystallized they turn out to be types.
GELENEKSEL TIBBİ BİR UYGULAMA OLARAK ÇÖPÇÜLÜK
Authors: BAYAT Fuzuli 
Published: April 2018

Geleneksel tıbbın (türkeçareliğin) en geniş bilinen sahalarından biri de çöpçülüktür. “Çöpçü” boğazda ilişip kalan çeğirdek, et parçası, kemik ve diğer gıda kalıntılarını geleneksel yolla, çoğu zaman üflemekle çıkaran tabiplere verilen isimdir. Eğer sınıkçılık, ebecilik (mamaçalık), hacamatçılık artık çağdaş tıbbın daha çok gelişmekte olan alternatif sahalarının etkisiyle yavaş-yavaş unutulmağa, tarihe karışmağa yüz tutmuşsa, çöpçülük halen de kendi etki gücünü korumakta, hatta son 20-25 yılda daha çok artım göstermektedir. Modern tıbbın da aciz kaldığı boğazda gıda kalıntısının kalmasını halk arasındaki çöpçü denilen insanlar, esasen de kadınlar tedavi edirler. Özellikle 3-8 yaş arası çocukların boğazlarında çöp kalması olayı çağdaş tıbba göre imkansızdır. Ancak şunu doktorların kendileri de tastik etmeğe mecburdurlar ki yemekten-içmekten kesilen, ısıtması düşmeyen çocuğu yalnız çöpçü tedavi etmektedir. O halde çöp dediğimiz rahatsızlığı şöyle tanımlamak mümkündür. Yemek zamanı gıdanın nefes ve gıda borusunun arasındaki küçük deliğe düşen kısmına çöp denilir. Genelde büyükler bu problemi kolaylıkla – öksürmekle aradan kaldırırlar. Ancak bebekler, küçük yaşlı çocuklar bunu yapamazlar.Çöpçülük vergili adamların mesleğidir. Çöpçülerin söylediklerine bakılırsa bu sanatı öğrenmek imkansızdır, o insana vergi olarak verilir. Diğer taraftan çöpçülüğün soyla keçdiği de bilinmektedir. Bu cihetleriyle çöpçülük şamanlıkla aynı anlam düzeyinde yer alır. Bildiride çöpçülerin gıda borusunda ilişip kalan çöpü çıkartmak için iki me-toddan yararlanmaları da kayd edilmiştir: 1. Üfürme yoluyla. Çocukların burnuna üfürmekle onu öğüdür ve çöpü boğaz-dan dışarı salıverirler. 2. Ötürme yoluyla. Çocuğun gıda borusuna barmakla hafifçe basmakla çöpü mideye ötürürler.
Study of the effects produced by ultrasonic vibration on AISI 1045 steel surface: surface residual stress and surface 3D morphology
Authors: Lai Jintao , Gu Bangping 
Published: April 2018

Abstract
Experiments for ultrasonic-assisted pulsed-laser surface irradiation and pulsed-laser surface irradiation were conducted based on an Nd:YAG pulsed-laser machine in order to study the effects produced by ultrasonic vibration on the AISI 1045 steel surface. In addition, the effects of the ultrasonic vibration on the AISI 1045 steel surface are discussed. The results show that larger tensile residual stress is induced at the pulsed-laser surface irradiation area, and the resultant surface 3D morphology is a noticeable sink mark owing to the temperature effect and the tensile residual stress effect. The surface integrity of AISI 1045 steel subjected to pulsed-laser surface irradiation can be improved with the aid of the extra acoustic field. The findings confirm that the acoustic field can be introduced to high-power laser processing technology to improve the surface integrity of the treated materials.
