Authors: Kiran Kadri , Demiröz Erdem , Güleç Hacı Ali , Atakan Müge , Uzun Cem 
Published: June 2023

Background: Although Turkey publishes more than 3000 peer-reviewed scientific journals, fewer than 5% of them are covered by major indexing databases, and only 1 of the 10 scientific journals published by Trakya University (Turkey) is among those quality journals. In November 2017, Trakya University organized a workshop titled &lsquo;Increasing the quality of academic journals at Trakya University&rsquo;, the ultimate goal of which was to bring together all stakeholders in the process of academic publishing, to review the criteria of publishing quality, and to recommend measures to enhance the quality of academic journals published from Turkey.&nbsp;
Objectives: To review the current status of academic journals published by Trakya University in terms of international publishing standards, to devise measures to enhance their quality, and also to help other journals do the same.&nbsp;
Methods: Information was collected from the websites of 10 academic journals pub-lished by Trakya University in the fields of natural, medical, and social sciences to assess the extent to which each journal met a set of criteria defining quality academic publishing. These journals were then compared in terms of their success in meeting those criteria.
Results: No single measure can improve the quality of all the ten journals published by Trakya University. Balkan Medical Journal topped the list in that it satisfied nearly all the criteria whereas the journals that met the fewest criteria were Trakya University Journal of Economics and Administrative Sciences Faculty, Trakya University Journal of Faculty of Letters, and Journal of Balkan Libraries Union. Timeliness in ensuring ethical standards was the criterion most often met by the journals, but all 10 failed to meet the criteria related to data accessibility and good reporting guidelines. Of the 8 crite-ria related to fairness of the blind-review processes, all 10 met 6 but none met all 8. In terms of transparency and implementation of best practices, the highest compliance was in terms of the criteria related to the name of the journal, its governing body, and archiving, but no journal made any effort to market itself, that is, to expand its circulation.
Conclusions: The strengths and weaknesses of each journal with reference to the quality of academic publishing were highlighted. The method described in the paper can also be used for evaluating other journals.
« S’habiller à l’européenne » à la frontière mexico états-unienne. Mode fin de siècle et intersectionnalité
Authors: Lourdes García Vega Ana , Claisse Pierre , Lepez Aurélie 
Published: June 2023

Cette étude est le résultat d’une recherche sur la mode, la culture des apparences et les modèles de consommation des femmes de l’élite à la frontalière nord-ouest entre les États-Unis et le Mexique à la fin du xix e siècle et au début du xx e siècle. La recherche a été effectuée au moyen de divers types de sources comme des portraits de la période (1895-1910) des catalogues commerciaux, des recensements démographiques, des mémoires et la presse écrite. Pendant le période d’étude, les modèles de consommation de la mode commencent à changer en Europe occidentale et ces changements ont des répercussions au Mexique et en Amérique Latine de façon plus générale. Pourtant, durant cette période les États-Unis ont aussi proposé de nouvelles modes et des modèles de consommation qui rendaient compte des idées fondamentales de l’identité américaine : la jeunesse, la modernité et la liberté. Ainsi, les femmes de l’élite de la région frontalière sont-elles devenues un emblème ont adopté des codes de féminité étrangers tout en conservant une conception traditionnelle de féminité propre de l’Amérique latine du xix e siècle. Dans le même temps, les fondements de la distinction comme la culture matérielle et la race, deviennent des éléments fondamentaux de la construction de genre.
Circulations révolutionnaires et transferts vestimentaires. L’exemple de la veste Mao, 1966-1976
Authors: Hourmant François 
Published: June 2023

De Pékin à Pyongyang, de Paris à Kinshasa, le costume Mao reste un exemple paradigmatique des transferts culturels et de la circulation des idéologies sur la scène internationale, notamment à partir de la fin des années soixante. Improprement associé au Grand Timonier, le costume Mao, inventé par Sun Yat-sen, constitue déjà une forme d’hybridation (entre l’uniforme soviétique et le costume traditionnel chinois). Il entame ensuite une étonnante trajectoire : il habille Kim Il-sung et les dignitaires nord-coréens. Importé massivement en France à la fin des années soixante, les costumes bleu indigo irriguent à la fois à la contestation révolutionnaire de la jeunesse (parisienne) mais aussi celle d’artistes (comme Godard dans La Chinoise ) ou l’univers de la mode. Revisité par Cardin (puis par Mugler), évidé de son référent marxiste-léniniste, il devient aussi bien l’incarnation du « smart parisian » selon Vogue que de l’avant-garde esthétique. Il est enfin approprié et acclimaté au vestiaire du maréchal Mobutu. Sous l’appellation d’Abacost (À bas le costard), il renvoie à une doctrine vestimentaire imposée par le leader zaïrois à partir de 1972 et visant à affranchir la population de la culture coloniale (symbolisée par le port du costume et de la cravate).
Mode et identités en diplomatie : voyage et ambassade de Louis-Henri de Loménie de Brienne dans l’Europe du Grand Siècle
Authors: Rivière Chloé 
Published: June 2023

Les écrits de Brienne concernant son voyage dans l’Europe du Nord révèlent les pratiques de don et les motifs d’achat de pièces vestimentaires ou de parures. Sous la forme de présents, qu’ils soient destinés aux personnalités des cours d’Europe ou aux membres de la cour d’origine du voyageur, les objets de mode se trouvent chargés d’un sens choisi. La circulation de ces objets, favorisée par l’existence de circuits économiques dédiés, revêt une dimension diplomatique et identitaire : outil de négociation et d’affirmation culturelle, le vêtement et les parures achetés ou offerts sont des atouts pour la représentation du prince et celle, plus personnelle, de l’ambassadeur. Une étude détaillée de ces objets dévoile aussi les techniques, les goûts et les stratégies de communication des cours européennes du xvii e siècle.
Analysis of Posterior Corneal Surgically Induced Astigmatism Following Cataract Surgery With a 1.8-mm Temporal Clear Corneal Incision
Authors: Kane Jack X. , LaHood Benjamin R. , Goggin Michael 
Published: June 2023

Purpose:
To determine posterior corneal surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) when using a temporal clear corneal incision and the IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec AG) for biometric measurements and to determine whether posterior corneal SIA can be predicted from preoperative data.

Methods:
A total of 258 consecutive eyes of 258 patients underwent cataract surgery with a 1.8-mm temporal clear corneal incision. Biometry measurements were taken preoperatively and 6 weeks postoperatively using the IOLMaster 700. Using vector analysis, the SIA of the posterior cornea was calculated.

Results:
The centroid of posterior corneal SIA was 0.01 diopters (D) @159 ± 0.14 D. The mean posterior corneal SIA was 0.12 D ± 0.07 D. Posterior corneal SIA magnitude was 0.25 D or less in 95% of patients. There was no correlation found between posterior corneal SIA magnitude and any preoperative measurement.

Conclusions:
The authors suggest not adjusting for posterior corneal SIA if using a small caliber, temporal incision. It was not possible to predict posterior corneal SIA from preoperative biometric measurements.

Authors: Ning Rui , Niu Lingling , Xing Wenqian , Wan Ting , Huang Xiaomin , Xiahou Jinxuan , Wang Yiran , Savini Giacomo , Schiano-Lomoriello Domenico , Zhou Xingtao , Wang Xiaoying , Huang Jinhai 
Published: June 2023

Purpose:
To evaluate the precision of corneal aberrations measured by a new SD-OCT/Placido topographer, the MS-39 (CSO), and to compare them with those provided by a Scheimpflug/Placido device, the Sirius (CSO), in normal eyes.

Methods:

This study enrolled 90 normal eyes of 90 patients. Total root mean square (RMS), higher order RMS, coma, trefoil, spherical aberration, and astigmatism II were analyzed. The within-subject standard deviation (S
w
), test–retest repeatability, and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated to assess the precision. Bland-Altman plots and 95% limits of agreement (LoAs) were calculated to assess the agreement.

Results:

For intraobserver repeatability of anterior and total corneal aberrations, most of the ICCs were greater than 0.869, except for trefoil and astigmatism II. Regarding the posterior corneal surface, the ICCs of total RMS, coma, and spherical aberration were higher than 0.878, whereas the ICCs of higher order RMS, trefoil, and astigmatism II were lower than 0.626. All test–retest repeatability values were 0.17 µm or less. In terms of interobserver reproducibility, the S
w
values were 0.04 µm or less, Test–retest repeatability values were less than 0.11 µm, and all ICCs ranged from 0.532 to 0.996. Regarding agreement, 95% LoAs were small for all Zernike coefficients, and the mean difference was close to zero.

Conclusions:
The new SD-OCT/Placido device exhibited excellent repeatability and reproducibility for anterior and total surface, whereas total RMS, coma, and spherical aberrations showed high precision on the posterior surface. High agreement was confirmed between the SD-OCT/Placido and Scheimpflug/Placido devices.

The value of machine learning for prognosis prediction of diphenhydramine exposure: National analysis of 50,000 patients in the United States
Authors: Mehrpour Omid , Saeedi Farhad , Abdollahi Jafar , Amirabadizadeh Alireza , Goss Foster 
Published: June 2023

Background:
Diphenhydramine (DPH) is an antihistamine medication that in overdose can result in anticholinergic symptoms and serious complications, including arrhythmia and coma. We aimed to compare the value of various machine learning (ML) models, including light gradient boosting machine (LGBM), logistic regression (LR), and random forest (RF), in the outcome prediction of DPH poisoning.

Materials and Methods:
We used the National Poison Data System database and included all of the human exposures of DPH from January 01, 2017 to December 31, 2017, and excluded those cases with missing information, duplicated cases, and those who reported co-ingestion. Data were split into training and test datasets, and three ML models were compared. We developed confusion matrices for each, and standard performance metrics were calculated.

Results:
Our study population included 53,761 patients with DPH exposure. The most common reasons for exposure, outcome, chronicity of exposure, and formulation were captured. Our results showed that the average precision-recall area under the curve (AUC) of 0.84. LGBM and RF had the highest performance (average AUC of 0.91), followed by LR (average AUC of 0.90). The specificity of the models was 87.0% in the testing groups. The precision of models was 75.0%. Recall (sensitivity) of models ranged between 73% and 75% with an F1 score of 75.0%. The overall accuracy of LGBM, LR, and RF models in the test dataset was 74.8%, 74.0%, and 75.1%, respectively. In total, just 1.1% of patients (mostly those with major outcomes) received physostigmine.

Conclusion:
Our study demonstrates the application of ML in the prediction of DPH poisoning.
Impact of COVID-19 on Outpatient Malnutrition Centers in Urban and Rural Burkina Faso
Authors: Ouedraogo Paul , Pietra Virginio , Schumacher Richard Fabian 
Published: June 2023

ABSTRACT.
Although the numbers of SARS–CoV-2 infections and related deaths are relatively low in sub-Saharan Africa, the pandemic might lead to a high indirect death toll there. We determined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the management of malnourished children in urban and rural areas. We analyzed data from two Centers for Rehabilitation, Education & Nutrition (CRENs), one in the capital and one in a rural center, both run by the Camillian Fathers. We compared data from the year before the pandemic (2019) with the first 2 years during the pandemic (2020/2021). In the urban CREN, there was a sharp reduction in new patients enrolled, from 340 in the pre-pandemic year to 189 during the first pandemic year and 202 in the second year. The follow-up was significantly shorter during the first pandemic year, with a rebound in the second year (pre: 57 days versus 42 and 63 days for the first and second years, respectively). In the rural CREN, the situation was different: The numbers of patients did not show any significant variation between the pre-pandemic year (191) and the first and second pandemic years (223 and 179, respectively). Different perceptions of the pandemic in urban (high, more testing, more COVID) and rural (low, less information and testing) areas may partly explain this difference. The discrepancy between the decreasing numbers of malnourished children in specialized care during the pandemic—especially in the urban area—is contrary to the lockdown-induced increase in food insecurity and warrants attention to avoid an increase in the silent epidemic of malnourished children in Africa.

Her türlü yeniliğe karşı çıkışın adı olan eski taraftarları eğitim alanında da yeniliklere yüksek sesle karşı çıkmışlardır. Usul-i kadim adı verilen ve Buhara tipi eğitimin yaygın olduğu eğitim kurumlarının işlevsizliği toplumun geri kalmasında en önemli etkenlerden biriydi. Uzun yıllar Arapça, Farsça’nın öğretildiği ve okuma yazmanın ötesine geçemeyen eski tip medreselere karşı çıkışın adı olan usul-i cedit hareketi, toplumsal yenilenmenin ve ilerlemenin en önemli temsilciliğini yapmıştır.
İsmail Gaspıralı’nın 19. yüzyılın son çeyreğinde açtığı ve usul-i cedit adını verdiği yeni tip medreselerde çocuklara 45 günde okuma yazma öğretiliyor, bunun yanında tarih, coğrafya, matematik gibi dünyevi ilimlere yer veriliyordu. Cedit okullar dalga dalga tüm Türk dünyasında yayılıyor ve toplumun gelişmesinin önünü açarak eğitim meselesine kökten çözüm bulmak için önemli bir işlevi yerine getiriyordu. İdil-Ural bölgesinde yetişen aydınların en önemlilerinden Fatih Kerimî, usul-i cedit hareketinin lideri olan İsmail Gaspıralı’nın fikirlerini ve eğitim faaliyetlerini benimsemiş bir Tatar aydını olarak sadece onun okullarında eğitim almamış, aynı zamanda Kırım’da açtığı usul-i cedit okulunda öğretmenlik yapmıştır.
Bu çalışmada Fatih Kerimînin “Cihangir Mahdumnun Avıl Mektebinde Ukuvı” adlı hikayesinden hareketle eğitim meselesi ele alınacaktır. Fatih Kerimî ile babası Gılman Kerimî’nin yaşamına dair izler görebildiğimiz bu eser İdil Ural bölgesinde yaşayan halkın eğitime bakış açısını yansıtması bakımından ayrıca önem taşımaktadır.

A Comparative Study of Teaching L2 Vocabulary with and without Illustrations to Virtual EFL Learners
Authors: Piskadlo Natalie , Desruisseaux Tara-Marie , Prinzo Kathleen 
Published: June 2023

Second language learning research suggests that visual aids and illustrations have the potential to enhance proficiency and retention of vocabulary terms in a foreign language. This study builds off of this literature by studying Native English speakers learning of Polish words using images versus no images. This quantitative study compares the effectiveness of 2 learning methods within groups that studied 10 vocabulary terms in Polish: (1) participants studying with virtual flashcards with illustrations, and (2) participants studying with virtual flashcards without illustrations. After a 10-minute virtual tutorial, participants were asked to fill out a Google form that measured their vocabulary retention. They were then asked to fill out the same Google form after 5 days.

A study on US Mass Shooting using data analysis and machine learning
Authors: Fang Andrew 
Published: June 2023

Many years ago, mass shootings have become one major problem in our country. In 2021, more than 45,000 people were murdered in mass shootings. And I started to wonder, why are people doing this? If we can get some clues with existing data, it might help prevent future tragedies from happening.
In many shooting incidents, the shooters seem to massacre without any reason. Many people wonder if it’s related to the murderer’s mental health. I started to gather some data and found two datasets about mass shootings and mental health on Kaggle, a public data-sharing website. First, I performed data analysis and statistical testing with the two datasets To further investigate the relationship between mass shootings and mental health, I fitted a linear regression model with the merged datasets. I found out that there’s an obvious correlation between these two variables, which means mental illness was one of the direct reasons that caused mass shootings.
In addition, I want to help people avoid mass shootings. So I made a linear regression model, which helps to predict how many total victims there will be based on input factors, like location, race, age, etc. Using this model, people can put more security in dangerous locations to best avoid mass shootings.
Are performance-based payment structures more strongly correlated with better health outcomes compared to solely fee-for-service payment for surgeons?
Authors: George Matthew , Anagnost John 
Published: June 2023

For years, the healthcare industry has compensated its surgeons with a simple fee-for-service model. With more payment structures becoming prevalent, we decided to review one specific type of payment structure, pay-for-performance, and its impact on patient health outcomes. We hypothesized that, on average, across all specialties, performance-based contracts would yield better health outcomes compared to fee-for-service payments alone. We also hypothesized that performance-based contracts might pressure physicians to get results and could lead to mistakes and a worse quality of care. We reviewed nine papers from 2006-2014, of which the majority were conducted in the United States, with one each from Italy and Germany. Our review included three literary/systematic reviews, three before & after studies, and two cross-sectional analyses. Many papers did not provide strong evidence of the effect of pay-for-performance on health outcomes, although examined papers agree on certain things. A common theme we found was the pay-for-performance increased documentation and the number of procedures done, but with minimal conclusions about outcomes. This may result from poor or non-standardized metrics being used to measure and report “performance.” However, two studies found that pay-for-performance improved patient health outcomes, despite limitations. For example, Brosig-Koch et al., (2013) found that P4P was not cost-effective from a solely financial standpoint.
Factors Influencing Ukrainian Parolees’ Decision to Migrate in the U.S.

Published: June 2023

The outbreak of the Russo-Ukrainian war has caused a massive influx of Ukrainian refugees into the U.S. To address this, President Biden implemented the Uniting for Ukraine program which provides a pathway for Ukrainian refugees and their families to temporarily stay in the U.S. for a two-year period of parole. The question arises, will Ukrainian parolees’ decide to stay or leave the U.S. after two years? This study attempts to better understand the factors that are influencing Ukrainian parolees’ intentions to decide whether to stay or leave the U.S. The study surveyed parolees to gather data on their intentions. The findings provide convincing evidence that the majority of respondents indicated that they intend to stay in the U.S. The key factors influencing those who wish to stay include traveling as a group, family members in the US, the ongoing war, other family reasons, and finances. Those who intended to leave were influenced by factors such as family in Ukraine, culture, the ongoing war, and financial reasons. The results of the study can inform future policies toward refugee groups in the U.S. and further the field of migration studies.
The Behavioral and physiological impacts of the hormesis of chemical contaminants on embryonic zebrafish
Authors: Kumar Akshay , Joykutty Leya , Caulkins Juliana 
Published: June 2023

Pharmaceutical chemicals are being produced, consumed, and excreted in human civilization at an increasing rate. These chemicals have the capacity to accumulate, especially in environments such as freshwater systems, but there have not been any major responses to this threat yet as the present concentrations of the chemicals is not viewed as dangerous. Previous research has shown that the developing concentrations of chemicals is an issue, supporting that these chemicals, though not present in large doses, have impacts on exposed organisms. However, prior research has not been conducted to examine the specific effects of chemicals at hormetic concentrations on freshwater organisms. “Hormetic concentration” defines the concentrations of chemicals at specific levels where the response to a low dose of chemical differs from the response to the high dose, and these were the ranges of concentration that were tested in this experiment. Zebrafish were acquired at zero days post fertilization, transferred to the medium containing the appropriate concentration of chemicals for the group that they would be a part of, and used as a model for aquatic organisms to show the resulting chemical, neural, and physical response to the chemical concentrations. The zebrafish were euthanized via bleaching and freezing prior to seven days post fertilization. The results of this experiment show that there is an ecological risk associated with the environmental accumulation of pharmaceutical chemical contaminants that is inherent to their use in human civilization, a result which makes it clear that this issue needs to be addressed.
