Objectives: The clinical and social burden of the COVID-19 pandemic were high among asylum seekers (ASs). We aimed to understand better ASs’ experiences of the pandemic and their sources of worries.Methods: Participants (n = 203) completed a survey about their worries, sleep disorders, and fear of dying. We also conducted semi-structured interviews with ASs living in a community center (n = 15), focusing on how social and living conditions affected their experiences and worries.Results: ASs in community centers experienced more sleep disorders related to the COVID-19 pandemic than those living in private apartments (aOR 2.01, p = 0.045). Similarly, those with lower education had greater fear for their life due to the COVID-19 pandemic (aOR 2.31, p = 0.015). Qualitative findings showed that sharing living spaces was an important source of worries for ASs and that protective measures were perceived to increase social isolation.Conclusion: Our study highlighted the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic for ASs and the importance of tailoring public health measures to their needs and living conditions.

Biofilms are a major problem in hard-to-heal wounds. Moreover, they are composed of different species and are often tolerant to antimicrobial agents. At the same time, interspecific synergy and/or competition occurs when some bacterial species clash. For this reason, the tolerance of two dual-species wound biofilm models of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus or Enterococcus faecium against antimicrobials and antimicrobial dressings were analyzed quantitatively and by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The results were compared to findings with planktonic bacteria. Octenidine-dihydrochloride/phenoxyethanol and polyhexamethylene biguanide (PHMB) irrigation solutions showed a significant, albeit delayed reduction in biofilm bacteria, while the PHMB dressing was not able to induce this effect. However, the cadexomer-iodine dressing caused a sustained reduction in and killed almost all bacteria down to 102 cfu/mL within 6 days compared to the control (1010 cfu/mL). By means of CLSM in untreated human biofilm models, it became evident that P. aeruginosa dominates over E. faecium and S. aureus. Additionally, P. aeruginosa appeared as a vast layer at the bottom of the samples, while S. aureus formed grape-like clusters. In the second model, the distribution was even clearer. Only a few E. faecium were visible, in contrast to the vast layer of P. aeruginosa. It seems that the different species avoid each other and seek their respective niches. These mixed-species biofilm models showed that efficacy and tolerance to antimicrobial substances are nearly species-independent. Their frequent application appears to be important. The bacterial wound biofilm remains a challenge in treatment and requires new, combined therapy options.
Comparing dietary strategies to manage cardiovascular risk in primary care: a narrative review of systematic reviews
Authors: Greenwood Hannah , Barnes Katelyn , Ball Lauren , Glasziou Paul 
Published: September 2023

BackgroundNutrition care in general practice is crucial for cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention and management, although comparison between dietary strategies is lacking.AimTo compare the best available (most recent, relevant, and high-quality) evidence for six dietary strategies that are effective for primary prevention/absolute risk reduction of CVD.Design and settingA pragmatic narrative review of systematic reviews of randomised trials focused on primary prevention of cardiovascular events.MethodStudies about: 1) adults without a history of cardiovascular events; 2) target dietary strategies postulated to reduce CVD risk; and 3) direct cardiovascular or all-cause mortality outcomes were included. Six dietary strategies were examined: energy deficit, Mediterranean-like diet, sodium reduction (salt reduction and substitution), the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet, alcohol reduction, and fish/fish oil consumption. Reviews were selected based on quality, recency, and relevance. Quality and certainty of evidence was assessed using GRADE.ResultsTwenty-five reviews met inclusion criteria; eight were selected as the highest quality, recent, and relevant. Three dietary strategies showed modest, significant reductions in cardiovascular events: energy deficit (relative risk reduction [RRR] 30%, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 13 to 43), Mediterranean-like diet (RRR 40%, 95% CI = 20 to 55), and salt substitution (RRR 30%, 95% CI = 7 to 48). Still, some caveats remain on the effectiveness of these dietary strategies. Salt reduction, DASH diet, and alcohol reduction showed small, significant reductions in blood pressure, but no reduction in cardiovascular events. Fish/fish oil consumption showed little or no effect; supplementation of fish oil alone showed small reductions in CVD events.ConclusionFor primary prevention, energy deficit, Mediterranean-like diets, and sodium substitution have modest evidence for risk reduction of CVD events. Strategies incorporated into clinical nutrition care should ensure guidance is person centred and tailored to clinical circumstances.
The Active Intellect in the Cuzari and Hallevi's Theory of Causality
Authors: Davidson Herbert Alan 
Published: September 2023

Various passages in Hallevi's Cuzari present an account of the views of the "philosophers," and a careful analysis of this account shows it to be both eclectic and imprecise. Hallevi clearly did not follow a single philosophic source or in fact any combination of known literary sources. He must have relied on what he remembered from an earlier reading of Alfarabi, Avicenna, and Gazali's compendium of philosophy ; or else he employed second-hand summaries no longer available today.
The most important of Hallevi's account of the views of the philosophers concerns the active intellect, the incorporeal being located by the Arabic Aristotelians as the last link in the chain of incorporeal intelligences. According to the philosophers, Hallevi writes, the active intellect emanates all the natural forms appearing in the sublunar world : An appropriate form automatically appears whenever a given portion of matter is prepared to receive it ; such was in fact Avicenna's position. When Hallevi comes to present his own position, he transfers the functions of the active intellect to God. God, he maintains, continually provides an emanation from which an appropriate natural form is automatically selected out whenever a given portion of matter is ready to receive it.
An understanding of Hallevi's theory of causality helps explain his use of the term amr ilāhī. In its primary sense, that term denotes direct divine causality, particularly the causality expressed in the emanation of natural forms. Two other senses of amr ilāhī may be understood as pure manifestations of the emanation from God denoted as amr ilāhī in the primary sense.
Les Juifs de Provence pendant la Peste noire
Authors: Shatzmïller Joseph 
Published: September 2023

La Peste noire qui frappa presque toute l'Europe entre 1347-1349 fut particulièrement pernicieuse pour les Juifs. Face à une catastrophe qu'il n'était en mesure ni d'expliquer ni de contrôler, le peuple s'acharna contre les «juiveries» des villes. La Provence fut la première à servir de théâtre aux émeutes.
Dans la présente recherche, ont été prises en considération les données publiées par Adolphe Crémieux (concernant Toulon et Hyères) et Camille Arnaud (quelques autres localités), ainsi que des documents de 1348 récemment découverts, partiellement publiés en Appendice où le lecteur trouvera le texte d'une instruction pénale lancée contre les émeutiers de Manosque ; celui d'une quittance par laquelle les nouveaux syndics libèrent leurs prédécesseurs de toute redevance financière vis-à-vis de l'organisation levant la tallia ; celui d'un privilège accordé par la reine Jeanne aux Juifs en vertu duquel ils ne paieraient désormais (et cela, une décennie durant) que la moitié de la taille habituelle. Notre documentation latine explique, en outre, un document hébreu déjà connu sur les émeutes qui se déclenchèrent à La Baume, près de Sisteron.

E-COMPLAINING IN HEALTH SERVICES: A RESEARCH ON SİKAYETVAR.COM SHARES OF PATIENTS RELATED TO THE RADIOLOGY DEPARTMENT IN TURKEY
ABSTRACT
Purpose: The aim of this study is to examine the complaints made on the internet site complaint about radiology services in Turkey. The study also aims to determine a general profile of individuals who complain about their dissatisfaction with the radiology department to the competent authorities and to systematically examine the reasons for their complaints.
Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, complaints made to the sikayetvar.com website were examined using the content analysis method, which is a qualitative research method. The last 110 complaints about the radiology department in Turkey, made on the internet to bilgivar.com between July 2023 and August 2023, were included in the evaluation. 34 of these complaints were excluded from the study because they were sent to the wrong department, were insurance-related, and were unclear. Our study was conducted through the analysis of the remaining 76 complaints. Complaints made; They are classified according to gender, type of radiological procedure, results of the radiological procedure, whether it is a public or private hospital, whether they are inpatients, outpatients or emergency patients, satisfaction levels of the patients, number of views of the complaint and the subject of the complaint.
Findings: The data obtained were obtained from Reader et al. (15) was analyzed by adopting a deductive approach with the text analysis method, which is one of the content analysis types, in line with the patient complaint taxonomy. It was determined that 51 (67.1%) of 76 complaints about radiology services were made by women and 25 (32.9%) by men. It was found that magnetic resonance (MRI) (27.1%), conventional radiology (24.3%) and computed tomography (20.0%) received significantly more complaints than all other radiological procedures. It was determined that the most complaints were about Management (97.37%) and Communication (98.68%) (Clinical 21.05%). Quality (97.37%), security (15.79%), timing and access (86.84%), and communication (98.68%) comprised almost all of the complaint categories. Delays (88.16%), communication breakdown (93.42%), quality of care (15.79%) and staff attitude (88.16%) were included in almost all complaint subcategories. No complaints were made regarding diagnostic errors or treatment.
Conclusion: It is thought that the obtained results can guide healthcare business managers in effective complaint management and help improve patient satisfaction. Knowing the sources of patient dissatisfaction with radiology services can help reduce the number of patient complaints and improve patient care.

ANTİKÇAĞDA PONTOS BÖLGESİ’NDE YAŞAYAN OTOKTON HALKLAR/AUTOCHTHONOUS PEOPLES LIVING IN THE PONTOS REGION IN ANCIENT AGES
Authors: KINACI Mesut 
Published: September 2023

Antikçağda Pontos Eukseinos (Karadeniz) olarak adlandırılan denizin güneydoğusunda yer alan topraklar Pontos Bölgesi olarak anılmıştır. Bu bölge kuzeyde Pontos Eukseinos, güneyde ve batıda Halys Nehri, doğuda ise Apsarros Nehri’yle sınırlanmıştır. Pontos Bölgesi içinde verimli ve sulak arazileri barındıran ve ılıman iklime sahip kıyı kesimler; dağlık, kıyı kesime göre daha sert iklime sahip iç kesimler olmak üzere iki farklı karakteristiktedir. Dağlık olan alanlar madencilik ve kereste bakımından; kıyı kesim ise tarım, hayvancılık, balıkçılık ve ticaret bakımından önemliydi. Bu özellikleriyle Pontos, çağlar boyunca insan topluluklarının yaşamı için cazip bir bölge olmuştur. Bölgede Tibarenoi, Khalybes kavmi, Mossynoikoi, Makrokephaloi, Drilai etc. gibi otokton halklar yaşamış, bu halklar bölgeyi şekillendirmiş ve Pontos Bölgesi’yle özdeşleşmiştir. Bu araştırmada Arkaik, Klasik, Hellenistik ve Roma dönemlerinde Pontos Bölgesi’nde yaşamış otokton halklar, bu halkların gelenekleri, mizaçları ve bölgenin sosyo-kültürel tarihine etkileri incelenmiştir.
Abstract
The lands located in the southeast of the sea, which was called the Pontos Eukseinos (the Black Sea) in ancient times, were called the Pontos Region. This region was bordered by the Pontos Euxeinos in the north, the Halys River in the south and west, and the Apsarros River in the east. The Pontos region had two different climatic characteristics. The first one was the coastal areas with fertile wetlands and temperate climates, and the second was the inland parts with harsher weather conditions compared to the coastal part. The mountainous areas were important for mining and timber trade, while the coastal part was a significant hub for agriculture, animal husbandry, fishing, and trade. Consequently, thanks to its rich resources and temperate climate, the Pontos region became an attraction centre for people to settle there for ages. The autochthonous peoples such as Tibarenoi, Chalybes tribe, Mossynoikoi, Makrokephaloi, and Drilai etc. lived in the region and shaped it with their own social and cultural norms and traditions, so they were identified with the region. This study aims to exhibit the autochthonous peoples who lived in the Pontos Region during the Archaic, Classical, Hellenistic and Roman periods and how their traditions and temperaments played a significant role in the formation of the socio-cultural history of the region.

Published: September 2023

Tomato is the leading fruit vegetable in the world with over 177.04 metric tons of world production on a yearly basis but the production is generally more hindered by diseases than pests, as it is grown all through the world. This study evaluated the effects of natural virus infection on eight tomato genotypes, carried out at the Teaching and Research Farm of Federal University Oye-Ekiti. The eight tomato genotypes were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Data collected were averaged and analyzed using Statistical Analysis System (SAS, 9.4) and significant means separated by the Tukey test. The results showed that a percentage increase in disease incidence among the genotypes was directly associated with decreasing yield but was not significant. Therefore, the viral disease incidence is associated with a reduction in the fruit yield of tomatoes but some tomato genotypes like; F1 COBRA26 and “TIWANTIWA” with high seedling vigor had significant fruit yield under natural virus infection on the field.

Published: September 2023

Background
Pancreatic cancer is a common malignant tumor of the digestive system. It is the fourth major cause of tumor-related death and its morbidity is increasing, and hence it is imperative to develop effective forms of therapy for pancreatic cancer. Peptide tyrosine-tyrosine (PYY) is an important gastrointestinal peptide hormone. According to previous literatures, PYY has been shown to inhibit tumor proliferation in cellular and animal models, but there has been limited research on the detailed mechanism of PYY in pancreatic cancer. This study was to observe the effects of PYY on pancreatic cancer cell and investigate the possible mechanism.

Methods
The expression of Y1, Y2, and Y5 receptors on pancreatic cancer cell lines were detected by reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). The cytotoxicity of PYY toward the MiaPaCa-2 cell was evaluated by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay; the cell morphology and structure changes were observed under inverted microscope and transmission electron microscope respectively. Apoptosis and cell cycle were evaluated by flow cytometry. The activity of caspase-3 was determined by activity assay kits and Western blotting. The expression of survivin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blotting.

Results
Expression of Y2 receptor is the most abundant PYY receptor on pancreatic cancer cell. PYY inhibited MiaPaCa-2 cell proliferation, blocked it in G0/G1 phase, increased the proportion of apoptosis cells and caspase-3 activity, and reduced the expression of survivin, VEGF, and COX-2.

Conclusions
PYY weakened the ability of the pancreatic MiaPaCa-2 cell viability through cell cycle blocking and apoptosis inducing. The inhibition effect of PYY may be mediated by the Y2 receptor. The increased caspase-3 activity and reduced expression of survivin, VEGF, and COX-2 may serve as a novel mechanism in PYY inhibition effect on MiaPaCa-2 cell.
