Published: January 2024

Aims: The present study was conducted to determine patella types, chondromalacia patella finding in the Turkish society, and to evaluate the differences between gender and age groups to with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
Methods: The study had a retrospective design, and included 256 people (122 females, 134 male) who were between the ages of 18 and 81 admitting to the Orthopedic Clinic of Kozan State Hospital with various complaints in knee joints and different preliminary diagnoses between January 2015 and December 2017. The evaluations made on MR images in the study. We evaluated in our study were patella types, chondromalacia classification and comparison according to age and gender.
Results: Patella types did not differ between the genders at significant levels; however, significant differences were detected between the genders in the chondromalacia patella (p=0.03). Patella types were classified, and it was found that Type II Patella was the most common patella type, and Type IV was identified as the least common.
Conclusion: We believe that the data obtained in our study will be useful in understanding morphometry of patella in anatomy, radiology and orthopedics fields. Based on our ﬁndings, we concluded that the anatomical shape of the patella is an important anatomic parameter, which may reﬂect the development of defects in the patellofemoral region It is also clinically important in terms of identifying knee pathologies more clearly in the aging process, and revealing the differences between societies, and in many pathologies that involve patella.

Aims: The aim of this study is to determine the attitudes and perceptions of 8-10-year-old children regarding smile aesthetics.
Methods: The cross-sectional study included 159 children aged 8-10 and their parents who were undergoing treatment in the Department of Pedodontics at İstanbul University. Participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire consisting of 26 questions. The first 8 questions aimed to assess the socio-demographic characteristics of the families, while the remaining 18 questions measured the attitudes and perceptions of children regarding smile aesthetics in 7 categories. The categories included satisfaction/dissatisfaction, honesty, sacrifice/deceit, selfishness, extroversion/introversion, personal happiness, intelligence, health status, and leadership. Photographs of children with different dental conditions (normally aligned teeth, crowded incisors, and diastema) were shown to the participants. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS 25.0 software.
Results: Data regarding the seven areas of interest showed that children aged 8-10 years viewed their peers with normally-aligned teeth more favourably as far as extroversion and health status were concerned (p=0.042 and p=0.022 respectively). However, there was no statistically significant difference with regard to satisfaction/dissatisfaction, honesty, sacrifice/deceit, selfishness, personal happiness, intelligence and leadership in children with harmonious, as opposed to crowded or diastema.
Conclusion: Our study suggests that smile aesthetics have a significant impact on social perception during childhood. Orthodontic treatments not only affect smile aesthetics but also influence individuals' social aspects.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: The main objective of this research is to examine the impact of R&D expenditures and Global Innovation Index ranking on per capita income in E7 and G7 country groups.
Methodology: Logistic regression model was used as the research method in the study. Stata 18 Data Analysis and Statistical Software Program was used in the analysis of the data. At the hand of Stata 18 Data Analysis and Statistical Software Program, regression analysis was used to estimate the possible and unknown effects of independent variables on the dependent variable. During the collection of the data used in the study, the archive scanning method, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used. Archival reports and official records were also used in the study.
Findings: According to the research results, 83.56% of the model is explained by explanatory variables. With all other explanatory variables constant, a 1% increase in R&D expenditure will result in an increase of 0.5243% on GDP per capita. At the same time, this coefficient gives the flexibility of GDP per capita relative to R&D expenditure (%GDP). It is also found out that there is a positive relationship between GDP per capita and R&D expenditure and also, there is a negative relationship between GDP per capita-GII ranking. In this study, which deals with the innovation efficiency of the G7 countries and the E7 countries, and the effect of this performance on the GDP per capita, it is seen that the G7 countries spend more on innovation.
Originality: It contributes to the literature as there is no other study in the literature that deals with per capita income, Global Innovation Index ranking and R&D expenditures comparatively between the G7 and E7.

Authors: ALIM Muzaffer 
Published: January 2024

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to examine the innovation, sustainability and innovation efficiencies of G7 and E7 countries and to address the relationship between them. The investigation focuses on exploring the potential impact of innovation productivity on the sustainability index in both developed and emerging economies, along with examining potential underlying factors influencing this relationship.
Methodology: The research employs Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to assess the innovation efficiency. This analysis considers two innovation outputs set against five inputs. Statistical methods such as t-test and correlation analysis are also used to investigate the interplay between innovation efficiency and the sustainability.
Findings: The findings of this study reveal interesting results. First, no significant difference is observed regarding innovation efficiency between G7 and E7 groups. For the G7 countries, there is a positive correlation between the sustainability index and innovation efficiency, suggesting that more efficient innovation is associated with sustainability. Contrarily, there is a negative correlation between these indices in E7 countries, implying that effective innovation can lower the sustainability index.
Originality: This study contributes novel insights into the relationship between innovation and sustainability by considering the G7 and E7 countries. Although various countries are evaluated in the literature, no comparison has been made for these two groups. Also, the identification of opposing correlations between two indices in developed and emerging economies constitutes a significant contribution to the literature.

O diabetes gestacional e a correlação com mães em vulnerabilidade social são tópicos de grande importância na área da saúde materno-infantil. Mães em situação de vulnerabilidade social enfrentam obstáculos adicionais durante a gravidez, aumentando o risco de desenvolver diabetes gestacional. Fatores como acesso limitado a cuidados de saúde, estilo de vida desfavorável, estresse crônico e falta de suporte social contribuem para essa correlação. Com isso, este artigo tem como objetivo discutir a correlação entre o diabetes gestacional e mães em vulnerabilidade social, explorando os fatores sociais que influenciam seu desenvolvimento, as consequências para a saúde materna e fetal e a importância de intervenções adequadas nesse contexto. Para alcançar esses objetivos, a metodologia será realizada através de revisão de literatura, com base nas referências fornecidas, e serão considerados estudos publicados entre os anos de 2009 e 2023, será de cunho exploratório e de caráter qualitativo. Para abordar essa questão, é essencial adotar uma abordagem integrada. Intervenções adaptadas ao contexto social, como programas de educação em saúde e acesso equitativo a cuidados de saúde, são fundamentais. Além disso, é necessário fortalecer o suporte social e enfrentar as desigualdades estruturais que contribuem para a vulnerabilidade social. A colaboração entre profissionais de saúde, assistentes sociais, comunidades e formuladores de políticas é essencial para criar um ambiente de apoio abrangente. Políticas públicas que reduzam a pobreza, melhorem a educação e promovam a igualdade de oportunidades são fundamentais nesse processo. Portanto, somente através de esforços coletivos e abordagens integradas poderemos alcançar resultados significativos e garantir que todas as mulheres tenham acesso igualitário a cuidados de saúde de qualidade e apoio adequado durante a gravidez.

Published: January 2024

O presente artigo aborda as ideações maternas acerca do retorno da alimentação via oral, especialmente a amamentação, no pós-operatório do filho com cardiopatia congênita. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva com abordagem qualitativa, realizada através de rodas de conversa, com 15 mães que estavam com seus bebês internados em UTI Cardiopediátrica após cirurgia cardíaca em um centro de referência Norte e Nordeste no tratamento de cardiopatia congênita, situado em Fortaleza, Ceará, Brasil. A partir dos dados coletados nas rodas de conversa e analisados pelo software Iramuteq resultando em categorias denominada vivências da díade mãe-bebê com CC advindas do adoecimento e da hospitalização que será abordada nesse estudo. Evidenciou-se nas falas maternas o desejo e a ansiedade em relação ao retorno da alimentação por via oral e em especial em instituir-se a amamentação, destacando a importância de orientações às mães no intuito de cientes do processo do pós-operatório possam permanecer mais tranquilas e cooperativas na recuperação do bebê. Acredita-se que o emponderamento materno a nível de hospitalização auxilie também no fortalecimento da vinculação mãe-bebê e no enfrentamento a doença do filho e todo o percurso que irá percorrer até a cura do filho.

O conceito de saúde única, apesar de recente e ainda em construção, está apoiado no tripé meio ambiente, saúde humana e saúde animal. A vulnerabilidade dos animais abandonados impulsiona a poluição ambiental, acidentes de trânsito, crueldade e, principalmente, doenças iminentes à saúde pública, como as zoonoses. Os caninos fazem parte do cotidiano social, tanto doméstico quanto nas ruas, sendo de grande interesse para estudos, devido a facilidade de entrar em contato com os mesmos. Dentre os diversos caracteres fenotípicos existentes entres os cães, pelagem, formato craniano e estado físico do animal foram observados como mais relevantes. O presente artigo tem como objetivo, identificar os perfis fenotípicos caninos presentes na Universidade Federal do Piauí, além de conhecer a opinião da comunidade universitária acerca da temática. Para isso foi realizada a coleta de dados digitais (imagens) dos cães de rua encontrados na área de estudo, de dados bibliográficos obtidos a partir de artigos previamente selecionados e levantamento da opinião pública por meio de questionário online distribuído a partir de redes sociais públicas de comunidades acadêmicas sem qualquer forma de identificação do opinante. A área de estudo é formada por 9 grandes blocos urbanizados, onde foram catalogados 33 cães. Considerando a combinação de fenótipos mais comumente encontrados, o perfil desses animais é: cor sólida amarela, nariz mesocefálico, escore corporal ideal e sem raça definida. É notório que esta população tem sido frequentemente assistida pela comunidade acadêmica por meio da manutenção de sua alimentação, hidratação e até mesmo cuidados veterinários. Analisando a opinião pública da comunidade acadêmica, os discentes mostraram-se bastante cientes dos problemas resultantes do abandono e superpopulação desses animais, dando sugestões já conhecidas para a resolução da temática. Observa-se, portanto, um significativo grau de informação, mas ainda carente de ações direcionadas para a promoção de saúde e bem estar humano e animal.
