Published: January 2024

Amaç: Dünyada yaygın görülen, milyonlarca kadının hayatını etkileyen ve anormal vajinal akıntının sık nedenlerinden olan vulvovajinal kandidiyazis (VVC)’in en önemli etkeni günümüze kadar Candida albicans iken, son yıllarda Non-albicans Candida (NAC) türlerinin sıklığı artmıştır. VVC’ da, birçok risk faktörünün de infeksiyon gelişimi ve tekrarlamasını etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmada; anormal vajinal akıntı yakınması olan hastalarda VVC sıklığı ve etkenlerinin belirlenerek, infeksiyon ile ilişkili risk faktörlerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Anormal vajinal akıntı şikayeti olan 87 hastaya, sosyo-demografik özellikleri ve risk faktörleri olarak tanımlanan bağımsız değişkenleri içeren 26 soruluk anket uygulanmıştır. Toplanan vajinal sürüntü örneklerinin kültür ve mikroskopik incelemesi yapılarak, izolatlar klasik ve biyokimyasal testle identifiye edilmiştir.
Bulgular: Hastaların %18,4’ünde Candida cinsi mantar üremesi saptanırken, gebelerde bu oran %60 olarak bulunmuştur. İnfeksiyon etkeni olarak izole edilen Candida’lardan %43,7 C. albicans, %37,5 C. glabrata, %12,5 C. krusei ve %6,3 C. parapsilosis olarak tanımlanmıştır. Hastaların %68,7’i tekrarlayan infeksiyon geçirdiğini bildirmiştir. Çalışmada VVC üremesini etkileyen tek faktör gebelik olarak saptanmış (p=0,041); VVC’i etkilemesi beklenen diğer bağımsız faktörler arasında anlamlı fark saptanmamıştır (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Çalışmamız; VVC etiyolojisinde NAC türlerinin öneminin arttığını ve saptanan yüksek rekürrens oranları ile ilişkili olabileceğini göstermektedir. Bu bulgu VVC hastalarında ve özellikle de çalışmamızda risk faktörü olarak saptanmış gebelik döneminde, etkenlerin tür düzeyinde tanımlanmasının ve olası risk faktörlerinin bilinerek, kontrol altında tutulmasının önemini ortaya koymaktadır.

Relevance. Denture stomatitis, including fungal infection, which affects many wearers of removable dental prostheses, has a multifactorial etiology with poor oral hygiene as the main predisposing factor. Therefore, the search for means that contribute to the prevention of occurrence and elimination of denture stomatitis in persons using removable dental prostheses remains relevant.Objective. The effect of the adhesive cream for fixation of dentures Asepta Рarodontal with plantain extract on the mucosal microbiome and secretory immunity of the mouth of patients using removable dentures was evaluated.Materials and Methods. The content of secretory immunoglobulin A (sIgA) in saliva was studied by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay and microbiological examination for periodontopathogens (Prevotella intermedia, Bacteroides forsythus, Treponema denticola, Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans, Porhyromonas gingivalis), as well as Streptococccus spp, Staphylococcus spp and Candida spp in 3 groups of patients who did not use any dental prostheses (1 control group, 30 people). ), as well as those who were made partial removable acrylic dentures from the first day of application were offered to use domestic adhesive cream for fixation of dentures Asepta Рarodonta (2 main group, 30 people) and who were made partial removable acrylic dentures, but their adaptation period and subsequent use of dentures passed without the use of any adhesive means for fixation of dentures (3 comparison group, 30 people).Results. It was found that after 6 months of application of adhesive cream for fixation of dentures with plantain extract there was a significant decrease in detection of Bacteroides forsythus and Porphyromonas gingivalis in comparison with the control group, as well as a significant increase in the level of sIgA, which was noted 1 month after the beginning of application of Asepta Carodontal denture fixation agent and continued after 6 months. This indicates the strengthening of secretory immunity, which leads to increased binding of microbes in saliva with their further excretion, inhibition of adhesion of C. albicans to the walls of the denture and epithelial cells of the oral mucosa, which ultimately contributes to a decrease in colonization of the oral mucosa epithelium by fungi and a decrease in the incidence of stomatitis.Conclusion. Prevention of denture stomatitis by optimizing the microbiome of the oral mucosa and mucosal immunity is possible due to the use of adhesive cream for fixation of dentures Asepta Carodontal, as it creates the possibility of preserving and optimizing the microbiocenosis and immune balance in the oral cavity after dental prosthetics, which allow us to recommend the use of adhesive agents for fixation of removable dental prostheses, including cream Asepta Carodontal.
TEXT LINGUISTIC CRITICISM OF LITERARY TRANSLATIONS: AN INTUITIVE HEURISTIC CHECKLIST
Authors: Akram A.M. Sa'Adeddin Mohammed 
Published: January 2024

Text linguistics is a designation of any work oflanguage science devoted to the text as the primary object of enquiry (Dijk 1979).	Following Beaugrande	(1995),	'text'	is	viewed	here	as	"an	empirical communicative event given through human	communication rather than specified by a formal theory". This communicative event rests on a "dynamic dialectic" between the "virtual system" oflanguage and its realisation in the form of an "actual system" emanating from selections made by the text producer (Sa'Adeddin 1995, 1998). These selections are effectuated in terms ofthe expectations and presuppositions (Bloor
and Bloor 1991) of the target world	audience (see Sa'Adeddin 1987a,
1990, r991) and/or	schemes that the producer has on them. A priori, the field of Comparative Literature is as legitimate an area of investigation for the text linguist as it is for the lettrist. This is particularly tnte given the fact that literature is a form of linguistic performance with special status and value, par excellence. As translation is, in the final analysis, a tex:t lir1guistic a_ctivity across	langU:a..ge com.munities and a prin1e tool for the	comparatist, it is feasible to see it as a bridge between the two disciplines.	Being essentially Translation-based, Comparative Literature

translation, structured on a complex process of interpretation and re- interpretation (see Sa'Adeddin 1990). Translation Criticism involves all the constituents which contribute to text-production and text experiencing (Sa'Adeddin 1995), and which need to be observed in quality assessment, if the comparatist is to proceed with maximum confidence. The intuitive heuristic checklist suggested here may provide

the initial grounding for a systematic text analysis procedure, which would be of special relevance to the comparative lettrist.

CONTRASTIVE RHETORIC AND LANGUAGE AS A
SOCIAL SEMIOTIC
Authors: HatilTI Basil 
Published: January 2024

Jn the field of pragmatics, it is now generally accepted that the reception or production of optimally felicitous use of language necessarily requires that "some small but powerful set of general principles of inference to interlocutors'	communicative intentions in specific contexts" is systematically invoked (Levinson 1981:481-2). In this respect, Paul Grice has made a valuable contribution, raising a number of exciting questions which have remarkably influenced our whole attitude to language use. According to Grice, . meaning is not determined beforehand but is negotiated only while utterances are made. Indeed, meaning may well become	fixed in the process, but all the way, this is informed by a variety of contextual factors, including hearers' cognitive processing abilities to infer	'meaning from context. Background knowledge and related assumptions	feature prominently in these activities and, along with situationality	and a range of co-textual clues, essentially form the context of an utterance.

TAYEB SALIH AND JOSEPH CONRAD REVISITED:SEASON OFMIGRATION TO THE NORTH AND HEART-OF DARKNESS
Authors: Maalouf May 
Published: January 2024

The topic of influence has always been a controversial one. The proximity of meaning between	"influence" and "imitation" tends to put the reader, the author, and even the text on the alert since it could be understood as dirpinutive of the author's originality, and yet it could be the only means of ·.discovering and appreciating that originality. A major obstacle in the assessment	of one author's influence over another is the presumption that Text A (the influencer) is supposedly a great work against which Text B (the influenced) must prove itself. Hence, while this battle between texts
may take the form of sibling or Oedipal rivalry 1 in works of the same
culture (even if of different nationalities) or language, it becomes a very complex one when Texts A and Bare not only of different cultures, but also of opposite ones such as East and West. The task gets even more problematic when Text A belongs to one of the most powerful literatures in the West (British) and Text B belongs to a relatively nascent literature in the East (Sudanese) and which has been colonized by the political svstem of the former. From this oersoective the studv of Joseph Conrad's influence on Al-Tayeb Salih becomes fraught' with many pitfalls: political, cultural, and even literary.

Willa Cather's Use of Planetary Light Imagery to Depict Character in Selected Novels

Published: January 2024

In 1987 it was revealed that Paul de Man, one of the apostles of the death of the author, had published a great number of anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi articles in the collaborationist Belgian newspaper Le Soir. The revelation "set in motion	a process of reevaluation ... of the ethics of detaching the text from its writer (and) brought the author back to the center stage" (Burke 1). In spite 9f Barthes' vociferous declaration of the death of the author that came as a culmination of a long and feverish campaign led by a number of staunch advocates of variations on the "death of the author" doctrine which	span the whole twentieth century, "The authorial subject returns, the (auto)biographical disrupts, enhances and displaces aspects of their work, a return which ... takes place almost instantaneously with the declaration of authorial departure"(Burke 7).	In brief, a deconstruct ve reading	of	the	texts	of	these	writers	reveals that what is said is contradicted	by what is unsaid; their texts mean what they do not say and say what	they do not mean.

death of the author is not so much a fact as a wish. It is, in my opinion, an expediency, or an ideology. It is somehow a murder, more a "performative than constative" (Burke 29) act. At best, it is a mere method of reading which in no way invalidates the other methods. By the very logic of Postmodernism there is no transcendental signified, and by the logic of intentionalists, to use Juhl's image, the author is not a monkey (Interpretation: An Essay in the Philosophy of Literary Criticism), though

Contrastive Study of Aspect in English and Arabic
Authors: Atawneh Ahmad 
Published: January 2024

The idea of this paper is to compare (albeit briefly) "aspect" as a grammatical category commonly associated with the verb phrase in both English and Arabic. In view of the fact that much has been written on this category in English (cf. Allen, 1966; Comrie, 1976; Joos, 1964; Leech, 1971; Palmer, 1974; Quirk, et. al., 1985; Zandvoort, 1962) no attempt will be made to describe its status or uses in English. However, a brief review of the contrast between perfective and imperfective	verbs in Arabic is necessary for the contrastive analysis (between English and Arabic perfective verbs) which is the main objective of this paper..

Translation and censorship seem to enjoy a unique, yet subliminal bond. Many a time they play converse roles working for opposite ends. In fact they may be represented as two sides of the same coin, namely cultural interaction. One stands for the introduction of new things into a culture. The other stands for the protective mechanisms that safeguard the established norms of that culture by the suppression of those foreign unacceptable elements, norms, institutions, ideologies, etc ..Judged to be unacceptable in that culture..
Spenserian Images of Catholicism In Book I of The Faerie Queene
Authors: Mumayiz Ibrahim 
Published: January 2024

Due to the continuously hostile Elizabethan-Papal relations which persisted throughout Elizabeth's reign (/558-1603) and covered Spenser's entire lifetime, Spenser nurtured pejorative images of Catholicism of a monstrously graphic nature. In Book I of The Faerie Queene, Papal-led Catholicism was regarded as being satanic evil. This evil Catholicism was used by Protestantism to define and defend itself. Spenser's vilifying views of Catholicism are expressed through the character of Archimago, who represents all what Protestants like Spenser saw in Catholicism such as pilgrimages, falsity, magical practices, hypocrisy, deception, and disguise. These accusations were based on what Protestants saw in the behavior of "Church Papists". The paper also puts forward the view that Archimago was a Jesuit, probably Robert Persons, the arch Jesuit that the black insects, flies, and sprites in Book I refer to Catholic missionary priests sent by the Pope and the Jesuits secretly into England..

Morphological Model for Erosion Prediction of India’s Largest Braided River Using MIKE 21C Model
Authors: Pareta Kuldeep 
Published: January 2024

The Brahmaputra River has a dynamic, highly braided channel pattern with frequent river bar formation, making it morphologically very dynamic, especially during the monsoon season with high discharge and sediment load. To understand how the river changes over time, this study focused on two stretches: Palasbari-Gumi and Dibrugarh. Using 2D morphological models (MIKE-21C), the study aimed to predict erosion patterns, plan protective measures, and assess morphological changes over short-term (1 year), medium-term (3 year), and long-term (5 year) periods. Model runs were conducted to predict design variables across these river reaches, encompassing different hydrological scenarios and development-planning scenarios. The coarse sand fraction yielded mean annual sediment load predictions of 257 Mt/year for the 2021 hydrological year and 314 Mt/year under bankfull discharge conditions in the Palasbari-Gumi reach. In the Dibrugarh reach, the corresponding values were 78 Mt/year and 100 Mt/year. Notably, historical records indicate an annual sediment load of 400 Mt/year in the Brahmaputra River. The model results were compared to measurements from Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCP), showing good accuracy for flow velocities, flood levels, and sediment loads. Discrepancies in peak model velocities compared to ADCP measurements remain consistently below 9% across the majority of recorded data points. The predicted flood levels for the bankfull discharge condition exhibited an outstanding accuracy, reaching nearly 91% at the Palasbari-Gumi site and a notable 95% at the Dibrugarh site. This study has presented a valuable methodology for enhancing the strategic planning and implementation of river training endeavours, particularly within the dynamic and highly braided channels of rivers such as the Brahmaputra River. The approach leverages predictive models to predict morphological changes over a 2–3 years timeframe, contributing to improved river management.

Published: January 2024

BackgroundEchocardiography-guided percutaneous intramyocardial alginate-hydrogel implantation (PIMAHI) is a novel treatment approach for heart failure (HF). We validated PIMAHI safety and efficacy in canine HF models.MethodsFourteen canines with HF [produced by coronary artery ligation, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) &lt; 35%] were randomised to PIMAHI treatment (n = 8) or controls (n = 6). Echocardiography, two-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography, and pathological examinations after a 6-month follow-up were performed. Repeated-measures analysis of variance was used for within-group comparisons.ResultsAt 6-month follow-up, PIMAHI treatment reversed LV dilation and remodelling, increasing LV free wall thickness (LVFW, p = 0.002) and interventricular septum thickness (IVS, p &lt; 0.001) and reducing LV end-diastolic volume (EDV, p = 0.008) and end-systolic volume (ESV, p = 0.004). PIMAHI significantly improved LV systolic function, increasing LVEF (EF, p = 0.004); enhanced LV myocardial contractility, including increased LV global longitudinal strain (GLS, p &lt; 0.001), global circumferential strain (GCS, p = 0.006), and mitral annulus displacement (MAD, p = 0.001). Compared with controls at 6-month, PIMAHI group significantly increased LVFW thickness (8.5 ± 0.3 vs. 6.8 ± 0.2 mm, p = 0.002) and IVS (7.9 ± 0.1 vs. 6.1 ± 0.2 mm, p &lt; 0.001); decreased LVEDV (30.1 ± 1.6 vs. 38.9 ± 4.5 ml, p = 0.049) and ESV (17.3 ± 1.2 vs. 28.7 ± 3.6 ml, p = 0.004); increased LV systolic function (42.7 ± 1.5 vs. 26.7 ± 1.1% in EF, p = 0.001); and enhanced LV myocardial contractility including GLS (13.5 ± 0.8 vs. 8.4 ± 0.6%, p = 0.002), GCS (16.5 ± 1.4 vs. 9.2 ± 0.6%, p = 0.001), and MAD (11.4 ± 3.5vs 4.6 ± 2.5 mm, p = 0.003). During PIMAHI treatment, no sustained arrhythmia, pericardial, or pleural effusion occurred.ConclusionsPIMAHI in canine HF models was safe and effective. It reversed LV dilation and improved LV function.
Human lower limb muscle cross sectional area scales with positive allometry reflecting bipedal evolutionary history
Authors: Warrener Anna 
Published: January 2024

Introduction: Muscle cross-sectional area is an important variable for understanding force generating potential and locomotor adaptation. Geometric scaling predicts area scales proportionally to body mass2/3. Previous research has quantified scaling relationships between hindlimb musculature and mass in apes, but these relationships have not been clearly established in humans. Scaling in the human lower-limb is likely influenced by bipedalism and dimorphism in lean and total body mass between the sexes.Methods: To investigate these relationships, cross-sectional area in 20 muscles of the lower-limb were obtained through MRI in twenty-eight (14 female, 14 male) participants and measured in Analyze 14.0. Log transformed muscle cross-sectional areas were grouped by function (gluteals, knee extensors, hamstrings, biarticulate knee/hip flexors, plantarflexors), and least-squares regressions were calculated for each group against log-body mass.Results: All muscle groups were significantly (p &lt; 0.001) correlated with mass (0.56 &lt; r2 &lt; 0.70) and, except for the gluteals, all groups scaled with positive allometry with slopes outside the 95% CI reported in the literature for apes. Correlations and slopes were lower for females (0.05 &lt; r2 &lt; 0.62; 0.4 &lt; b &lt; 1.0), than males (0.56 &lt; r2 &lt; 0.79: 0. 7&lt; b &lt; 1.9) in all muscle groups, but there were no statistically significant differences in slope except for the tensor fasciae latae and the hamstrings. However, including sex as a predictor in multiple regression analysis increased the explained variance in cross-sectional area by 1-18% across functional muscle groups.Discussion: These results suggest human lower-limb muscle scaling has responded to force production requirements of bipedalism, but differences in lean and total mass do not clearly impact allometric equations in males and females.
