Ethnic Entrepreneurship: A Qualitative Study on Entrepreneurial Tendency of Meskhetian Turks Living in the USA in the Context of the Interactive Model
Authors: Ozafsarlioglu Sibel 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Ethnic entrepreneurship is the phenomenon that individuals from certain ethnic backgrounds participate in entrepreneurial activities. Individuals from those ethnic backgrounds are affected by various factors such as entrepreneurial tendencies, cultural values, social networks, and economic opportunities. Although such factors have the potential to explain ethnic entrepreneurship, it is important to continually update research and definitions in this field as ethnic entrepreneurship is an ever-growing topic. The purpose of this article is to be a part of the studies on ethnic entrepreneurship and to contribute to the field by identifying the conditions that influence the entrepreneurial process of Meskhetian Turks, who immigrated to the USA under special laws and became successful in establishing their own businesses. In order to achieve this purpose, in-depth interviews were conducted with entrepreneurs, and the findings are discussed in the context of the interactional model. According to the findings, social, capital, and ethnic networks play a significant role in business establishment and development, knowledge acquisition for business, and labor supply. In addition, due to the differences in the migration experiences of entrepreneurs, it is seen that both ethnic and non-ethnic networks affect entrepreneurship in the dimension of resource mobility. This study confirms the need to evaluate the benefits of ethnic entrepreneurship as a dynamic field.

Published: January 2024

Abstract
In the past decade, it has been observed that the applications of modern materials have developed a lot, especially effective reactive powder concrete (RPC), due to its superior performance properties. As a result of the superior resistance of RPC, it will give a longer construction life with less maintenance and more resistance to various environmental conditions and exhibits high-performance features such as high porosity, very high strength, and excellent corrosion resistance. The parameters studied in the present research were used to investigate the effect of maximum load, deflection, tensile and strain of concrete, first shear crack, crack pattern, and crack width. Considering the aforesaid cause and objective, one specimen of RPC RC deep beams has a rectangular cross-section of 150 mm in width, 500 mm in depth, and a total length of 1.2 m. One control specimen was tested for comparison. Moreover, 12 control specimens including cylinders and cubes were cast and tested to obtain the mechanical properties of the normal and RPC deep beams. Following the specimens’ processing, they were subjected to two concentrated load pressure tests through a hydraulic jack. Based on the results, the ultimate strength, deflection, and first shear crack capacity for the reactive powder concrete deep beam (RPCDB) have increased by 68, 10.5, and 62.5%, respectively, compared with concrete deep beam (CDB). Moreover, with respect to the width, the delay in the appearance of the first shear crack was reduced by 11 and 78%, respectively, compared with CDB at 65% of the final shear load. In addition, regarding the stress-strain results, RPCDB has increased by 118% at the maximum stress compared with CDB and in contrast, the strain scores for CDB increased by 22.5% at maximum stress compared to RPCDB.
Climate uncertainty, social media certainty: A story-critical approach to climate change storytelling on social media
Authors: Mäkelä Maria 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The article calls for narratives that would accommodate the collision of two complex forms: climate change and social media. Science communication is currently on the lookout for personal stories that make climate change concrete and relatable for both decision-makers and the general public; similarly, climate activism on social media increasingly draws from personal experiences. Yet climate related stories going viral on social media often end up fostering political polarization and stark moral positioning instead of collective climate action. Building on Caroline Levine’s work on new formalism, I argue that this problem results from the collision between (1) climate change and (2) social media as complex forms that challenge the centrality of embodied experience and individual agency, and (3) the prototypical experiential story as a non-complex form. I analyze some viral climate change stories and focus particularly on experientiality, easily shareable masterplots, and moral positioning.
The nearly missed account of narrative suspense
Authors: Köppe Tilmann , Onea Edgar 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
In this paper, we specify features of a narrative that are responsible for its suspensefulness. Taking Noël Carroll’s account of erotetic narrative as our point of departure, we argue that a narrative is experienced as suspenseful because it gives rise to so-called potentially inquiry terminating questions. Such questions suggest to readers that they are just about to get the information they are reading for. Due to this highly specific erotetic structure, suspenseful narratives trigger cognitive and emotional mechanisms that are associated with what has been called a “near miss” in studies on gambling behavior: a situation which suggests a player that she has almost achieved a favorable result. In spelling out the details of the theory, we propose both a causal explanation of narrative suspense and defining properties, such that instances of suspense can be distinguished from instances of other states of readerly excitement.
A treetop diner: camera trapping reveals novel arboreal foraging by fishing cats on colonial nesting birds in Bangladesh
Authors: Sadik Allama Shibli , Akash Muntasir 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
Based on camera trap images, we document active foraging attempts on nests of colonial waterbirds by a fishing cat Prionailurus viverrinus. The nests were built in the canopy of an 8-m-tall Indian Oak tree Barringtonia acutangula in the Haor Basin region, northeast Bangladesh. In 2022, two events of fishing cats reaching nests with fledglings were documented. In one event, the cat killed four fledglings. The species primarily follows a piscivorous diet and is evolutionarily adapted for semi-aquatic hunting niches. These records provide the first known evidence of the arboreal hunting behaviour observed in the fishing cat.

Published: January 2024

Abstract

Introduction
The exposure of occupants to indoor air pollutants has increased in recent decades. The aim of this review is to discuss an overview of new approaches that are used to study fungal aerosols. Thus, this motivation was to compensate the gaps caused by the use of only traditional approaches in the study of fungal exposure.

Content
The search involved various databases such as; Science Direct, PubMed, SAGE, Springer Link, EBCOHOST, MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cochrane library, Web of Science and Wiley Online Library. It was limited to full text research articles that reported the use of non-viable method in assessing bioaerosol, written in English Language, full text publications and published from year 2015–2022.

Summary and Outlook
A total of 15 articles met the inclusion criteria and was included in this review. The use of next-generation sequencing, which is more commonly referred to as high-throughput sequencing (HTS) or molecular methods in microbial studies is based on the detection of genetic material of organisms present in a given sample. Applying these methods to different environments permitted the identification of the microorganisms present, and a better comprehension of the environmental impacts and ecological roles of microbial communities. Based on the reviewed articles, there is evidence that dust samples harbour a high diversity of human-associated bacteria and fungi. Molecular methods such as next generation sequencing are reliable tools for identifying and tracking the bacterial and fungal diversity in dust samples using 18S metagenomics approach.
Investigation and optimisation of a lithium-drift silicon detector using Si–Li structure and bidirectional diffusion and drift techniques
Authors: Zhang Jing , Japashov Nursultan 
Published: January 2024

Abstract
The research relevance is predefined by the continuous development and improvement of radiation analysis methods and the need for more efficient and accurate detectors for various applications. This research may improve the sensitivity and resolution of Si(Li) detectors, which is important for scientific and industrial research as well as radiation safety monitoring. The research aims to analyse and improve the performance of a Si(Li) lithium-drift silicon detector. The methods used include an analytical method, classification method, functional method, statistical method, synthesis method and others. The results of the two-sided observation of lithium diffusion in silicon monocrystals provided valuable information about the characteristics of the process and its dependence on the method of silicon production. A large-diameter detector detection mode was found to be important for optimising the production of such detectors. The diffusion process in monocrystalline silicon produced by the shadowless zone melting method is relatively fast. This means that lithium ions penetrate the material rapidly and spread evenly throughout its volume. This fast diffusion process can be useful for detectors that need to respond quickly to incoming signals. It was found that in monocrystalline silicon produced by the Czochralski method, there is a delayed penetration of lithium ions.
The germanides ScTGe2 (T = Fe, Co, Ru, Rh) – crystal chemistry, 45Sc solid-state NMR and 57Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy

Published: January 2024

Abstract
The TiMnSi2-type (space group Pbam) germanides ScTGe2 (T = Fe, Co, Ru, Rh) were synthesized from the elements by arc-melting. Single crystals were grown by annealing sequences of the arc-melted buttons in an induction furnace. The structures of ScFeGe2, ScRuGe2 and ScRhGe2 were refined from single-crystal X-ray diffraction data. In ScRuGe2, the ruthenium atoms have distorted octahedral germanium coordination (242–268 pm Ru–Ge). Three trans-face-sharing octahedra form a sub-unit which is condensed via common edges in c direction and connected via common corners with four adjacent blocks, forming a three-dimensional [RuGe2 type] substructure. The two crystallographically independent scandium sites have coordination numbers 15 (Sc1@Ge8Ru4Sc3) and 17 (Sc2@Ge7Ru6Sc4). Electronic band structure calculations for ScCoGe2 and ScRuGe2 show a net charge transfer from the scandium to the transition metal and germanium atoms, leading to a description with polyanionic networks Sc
δ+[TGe2]δ−. The two crystallographically independent Sc sites are easily distinguishable by 45Sc magic-angle spinning (MAS)-NMR spectroscopy. Isotropic chemical shift values and nuclear electric quadrupolar interaction parameters were deduced from an analysis of the triple-quantum (TQ)-MAS NMR spectra. The electric field gradient parameters deduced from these experiments are in good agreement with quantum-chemical calculations using the Wien2k code. Likewise, the two crystallographically independent iron sites in ScFeGe2 could be discriminated in the 57Fe Mößbauer spectra through their isomer shifts and quadrupole splitting parameters: δ = 0.369(1) mm s−1 and ∆E
Q = 0.232(2)  mm s−1 for Fe1 and δ = 0.375(2) mm s−1 and ∆E
Q = 0.435(4) mm s−1 for Fe2 (data at T = 78 K).

Published: January 2024

Abstract
The compounds [Me3N(C6H3(CF3)2)][BF4] and [Me3N(C6H3(CH3)2)][BF4] were synthesized from commercially available starting materials and fully characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, NMR, IR and Raman spectroscopy, as well as mass spectrometry. Both ammonium cations show potential for applications in crystal engineering due to their structure directing properties in the solid state.

Psychiatric complications in Graves’ disease
Authors: Holmberg Mats , Malmgren Helge , Berglund Peter F , Johansson Birgitta , Nyström Helena Filipsson 
Published: January 2024

Background
Mood disorders are common in Graves’ disease despite treatment. The pathogenic mechanisms involved are unknown and so is whether previous psychiatric disease influences these symptoms.

Methods
This is a longitudinal study conducted in Sweden on 65 women with newly diagnosed Graves’ disease and 65 matched controls. Participants were examined during hyperthyroidism and after 15 months of treatment. Examinations included blood sampling, and psychiatric testing with the Comprehensive Psychopathological Rating Scale for Affective Syndromes and the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV – Axis I Disorders. We also performed two analyses of a national population-based registry to determine previous psychiatric diagnoses and previous prescriptions of psychoactive drugs in (i) all patients we asked to participate and (ii) all Swedish women given a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism during 2013–2018, comparing them to matched controls.

Results
There was no increased previous psychiatric comorbidity in Graves’ patients compared to controls. There was no higher prevalence of psychiatric diagnoses and prescriptions of psychoactive drugs between (i) included GD patients compared to those who declined participation and (ii) women with a hyperthyroidism diagnosis in 5 years prior to their diagnosis, compared to matched controls. Depression scores and anxiety scores were higher in patients compared to controls both during hyperthyroidism (depression (median (IQR): 7.5 (5.0–9.5) vs 1.0 (0.5–2.5) P < 0.001), anxiety: 7.7 (5.0–11) vs 2.5 (1.0–4.0) P < 0.001) and after treatment (depression: 2.5 (1.5–5.0) vs 1.5 (0.5-3.5) P < 0.05), anxiety: 4.0 (2.5–7.5) vs 3.0 (1.5-5.0) P < 0.05). Patients with a previous psychiatric condition, mild eye symptoms, and a younger age had more anxiety at 15 months compared to patients without these symptoms and a higher age (all p<0.05).

Conclusion
Graves’ disease affects patients’ mood despite treatment. A previous psychiatric condition, mild eye symptoms, and a younger age increase the vulnerability for long-lasting symptoms and require specific attention.

Published: January 2024

AbstractHydrochlorothiazide has been utilized clinically for the past half-century, which is popularly known as a “water pill” as it produces increased urine output. The advancement of bioanalytical methods brought a dynamic field with exciting opportunities for future research. The current review emphasis the bioanalytical methods employed for the quantitative estimation of Hydrochlorothiazide as monotherapy and its popularly used combinational medications available from 1956 to till date. A fixed dose of 25 mg of hydrochlorothiazide with 43 combinational medications is currently available in the market and these combinations are widely employed in the treatment of hypertensive people; those whose blood pressure does not respond effectively to monotherapy of hydrochlorothiazide and also for the treatment of edema (excess fluid in the body) caused by illness such as heart failure, liver problems, and renal disease. It has been convincingly demonstrated that the combination of any two antihypertensive medications belonging to different groups of the same category, significantly lowers blood pressure, in comparison with the effect produced by increasing the dose of a single medicament. Among the various analytical techniques employed for the estimation of Hydrochlorothiazide, the review portrays that hyphenated technique, in specific liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectroscopy was widely employed. The validation parameters namely linearity, LOD, LOQ for individual drug and their combinations, were successfully calibrated. The effectiveness of analytical approaches was evaluated and enhanced for chemical factors. The involvement of green chemistry in the optimized methods for the evaluation of Hydrochlorothiazide for the future development, are suggested.

Highlights The article reflects data of an original study on the diagnosis of early postoperative dysfunction in children under 1 year of age after correction of a ventricular septal defect. The relationship between troponin I and conventional echocardiographic parameters, left ventricular longitudinal strain (S, % LV), and parameters reflecting central hemodynamics was assessed. The predictive ability of S, % LV in predicting a decrease in cardiac index after surgery was revealed. AbstractAim. To evaluate the possibility of predicting left ventricular (LV) dysfunction in the early postoperative period in children with ventricular septal defect (VSD).Methods. The study included 204 children under 1 year of age with non-restrictive perimembranous VSD. All parameters were evaluated before surgery, 6 hours, 24 hours and 10 days after surgery. 125 healthy children were enrolled as the control group.Results. 6 hours after surgery, there was a statistically significant decrease in LV ejection fraction (EF) (Me 55 [K3 60–K1 45] %, p = 0.0001), stroke index (SI) of LV outflow tract (LVOT) (12, 07 [16.38–8.24] mL/m2, p = 0.0001), and cardiac index (CI) (1.52 [2.08–1.07] L/min/m2, p = 0.0001). Arterial elasticity (AE) increased (21.4 [32.4–15.79] mm Hg/mL, p = 0.002), indicating a significant increase in afterload. Arterial compliance (AC) decreased (0.058 [0.081-0.038] mL/mm Hg, p = 0.0001), whereas ventricular-arterial coupling (VAC) value significantly increased (2 [2.54–1.67], p = 0.009). There was a dependence between LVOT SI and age (Rs = 0.45, p = 0.03), a moderate relationship between LVOT SI and VAC (Rs = –0.59, p = 0.001), a pronounced relationship between LVOT SI and AC (Rs = 0, 93, p = 0.02), pronounced relationship between LVOT SI and AE (Rs = –0.94, p = 0.03), moderate correlation between VAC and SI (Rs = –0.44, p = 0.04), weak relationship between VAC and patient age (Rs = –0.28, p = 0.03). Longitudinal deformity before surgery (b = 0.028; F = 3.9; p = 0.006) and VSD size (b = -0.08; F = 3.4; p = 0.029) were significantly associated with LV SI dynamics 6 hours after surgery. Dependence equation was as follows: 2.8 – 0.08 * VSD + 0.028 * S. A predictive ability to reduce CI 6 hours after surgery was revealed: longitudinal strain (S), % with a threshold “–” 14.3% (sensitivity 96.2%, specificity 81.6%, AUC 0.92, p<0, 00001) and VSD diameter with a threshold of 8 mm (sensitivity 75%, specificity 52%, AUC 0.69, p<0.0001).Conclusion. In the early postoperative period, there is a decrease in systolic and LV pump function. High AE rates are associated with a decrease in AC and an increase in VAC. Preoperative predictors of SI decrease are as follows: S, %> “–” 14.3 and VSD size > 8 mm.
