Authors: Putri Aliati , Yasrin Tadeus Arufan , Pramesti Hening Tjaturina , Arief Erry Mochamad 
Published: January 2024

ABSTRACTIntroduction: Surgical masks commonly have many layers. The outer layer acts as the initial filtration and the protection for the middle layer, the middle layer acts as the primary filtration, and the innermost layer absorbs liquid to prevent the spread of droplets from the mask's wearer. The recommended duration of wearing medical and fabric masks is 4–6 hours, while some studies stated that the maximum duration is 8 hours. The use of S. aureus in this study was based on its clinical relevance as a major cause of nosocomial infections. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the filtration in three-layer and four-layer masks against S. aureus. Methods: This experimental study followed the methods of previous research, and followed the Standard Test Method from SNI 8489 2018 with several adjustments consisting of several steps, i.e., preparation of tested masks, bacterial culture media, and tested bacteria; determination of masks’ filtration efficacy; confirmation of the efficacy. All steps were repeated 15 times with exposure times of 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours and analysis using the chi-square test. Results: The percentage of surgical masks filtration effectiveness was indicated by the growth of S. aureus in Nutrient Agar media. The four-layer surgical masks showed the highest percentage (80%) of 2 hours and 4 hours of usage. Both types showed the lowest percentage of 8 hours of usage. Based on the duration of wearing, the mask's filtration effectiveness from the highest and lowest score was the S. aureus-exposed media for 2, 4, 6, and 8 hours, respectively p<0.050. The comparison value for the effectiveness of mask filtration between the type of masks and the length of use was 0.003. Conclusion: The filtration effectiveness of the four-layer masks is higher than the three-layer masks according to the duration of wearing the masks.Keyword : Surgical masks, filtration, duration, S.aureus

Authors: Güney Osman İnanç 
Published: January 2024

Post-modern toplum düzenini getirdiği yenilikler bireylerin yaşam tarzlarında ve alışkanlıklarında önemli değişimlere neden olmuş, bu değişimler gıda tercih ve tüketim alışkanlıklarında da gözlemlenmiştir. Günümüzde çoğu insan gıdaya erişimi artık sadece beslenme ihtiyacını karşılamaya yönelik bir çaba ile sınırlandırmayıp ondan psiko-sosyal ve ekonomik faydalar da beklemekte, beslenme alışkanlıklarına rasyonel, hedonik ve sembolik boyutlar eklemektedir. Bu kapsamda yeme-içme faaliyetlerini evlerinin dışında gerçekleştiren bireylerin sayısında sürekli bir artış söz konusudur. Bu araştırmada ev dışı gıda tüketimini (EDGT) etkileyen gıda odaklı faktörler ve sosyo-demografik özelliklerin etkisi araştırılmıştır. Bu kapsamda Türkiye’nin 7 bölgesinin en büyük şehirlerinde 1016 tüketici ile yüz yüze anket çalışması gerçekleştirilmiş elde edilen veriler tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve sıralı probit regresyon modeli kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Buna göre gıda tercihlerini etkileyen faktörler arasında başkaları tarafından da tüketilen gıdaların ev dışı gıda tüketim sıklığı ile pozitif, besin içeriği ve yerel markaları tercih etme ile ise negatif ilişki durumu söz konusudur. Gıda tüketim desenlerinden fast-food tüketimi, sokak yemeği tercihi ve abur-cubur tüketimi ile EDGT sıklığı arasında pozitif, bitkisel temelli beslenme tercihiyle ise negatif bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Ayrıca sosyo-demografik özelliklerden cinsiyet, medeni durum, yaş, gelir ve eğitim de bireylerin EDGT’lerini etkilemektedir.

Published: January 2024

The accuracy of a wavelet depends on the choice of the mother wavelet adopted. The present work aims to predict the free vibration behavior of laminated sandwich plates using wavelet finite element (WFE). Different kinds of mother wavelets, namely, B-spline wavelet on the interval (BSWI), Gaussian, Haar, Daubechies 6 (db6), Biorthogonal 3.7 (bior3.7), Coiflet5 (coif5), Symlets (sym8), Morlet, Mexican hat (Mh), and Meyer mother wavelets, are employed in WFE for predicting the frequencies. Both symmetric and unsymmetric laminates are studied using the proposed approaches. A wide range of problems, including the influence of the geometric and material properties and end conditions on the free vibration behavior of the laminated sandwich plates, are solved. The effectiveness of the WFE over the conventional finite element method in terms of computational efficiency is discussed. In conclusion, BSWI-based WFE method (WFEM) is found to be the most accurate and computationally efficient in predicting the free vibration behavior of laminated sandwich plates. The accuracy of the WFEM depends widely on the type of mother wavelet adopted.

Authors: Vasconcelos Sérgio Sezino Douets , Silva Luiz Claudio Barroca da 
Published: January 2024

O artigo apresenta como proposta metodológica para os estudos das construções identitárias nas religiões afrobrasileiras as contribuições de Stuart Hall e Michel Agier. Para isso, foram selecionados dois temas principais e expostos à discussão – o antissincretismo e o processo de identificação. O primeiro deles é bastante discutido, tendo em vista ser uma forma de construção de uma identidade perdida em razão da diáspora africana para o Brasil. Já o segundo, corresponde aos mecanismos que levam um dado grupo étnico reivindicarem uma determinada identidade para si. Inúmeros fatores foram, portanto, elencados tendo por base os subsídios propostos pelos citados autores, constatando, assim, o caráter complexo dos processos de identificação social. O antissincretismo é, dentre outros aspectos, reconhecer que descendentes/integrantes de uma categoria cultural desfavorecida socialmente necessitam de políticas inclusivas/reparatórias.Data de submissão: 07-10-2015.

Surgical technique: Posterior retropleural thoracotomy for resection of a T10 dumbbell schwannoma
Authors: Ojukwu Disep I. , Wilkinson Brandon M. , Dawson Timothy , Galgano Michael A. 
Published: January 2024

Background:
Myelopathy and nerve root dysfunction resulting from the imperceptible growth of intraspinal schwannomas have been well documented.[1] Thoracic spine schwannomas, in particular, have exceptional growth potential due to the presence of the posterior mediastinum and retropleural spaces accommodating insidious and often subclinical tumor expansion.[5] Extraspinal extension of these lesions, however, poses a distinct challenge for surgeons.[3,4]

Case Description:
Here, we provide a two-dimensional intraoperative video demonstrating the technical nuances concerning maximally safe resection of a partially cystic thoracic dumbbell schwannoma having extraspinal extension with associated bony remodeling of the T10 vertebral body and neural foramen in a middle-aged male. A posterolateral approach with T8–T12 fusion, retropleural thoracotomy, facetectomies, and pediculectomies allowed for gross total resection. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed, and the parietal pleura was kept intact throughout the surgery. In addition, the patient continued to have improved symptoms and was ambulatory at 6-month follow-up.

Conclusion:
Gross total resection of a partially cystic thoracic dumbbell schwannoma was achieved without complications. Our use of a preoperative three-dimensional reconstruction for surgical planning,[2] intraoperative ultrasound,[6] and a durable instrumentation construct were essential for a successful outcome. Moreover, great care was taken to avoid violating the tumor-parietal pleura plane, which would have resulted in postoperative respiratory complications.
