Authors: ÖZDURAN Erkan , YILDIRIM GÜZELANT Aliye 
Published: January 2023

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the superiority of different exercise modalities, including isotonic and isometric strengthening for quadriceps, over each other and their effect on pain, quality of life and functional capacity in patients diagnosed with chondromalacia patellae (CMP).
Methods: This study was designed as a prospective study in 30 patients(15 patients in isometric, 15 patients in isotonic group) and 15 healthy volunteers aged 20–50 years who were diagnosed with CMP based on physical examination and magnetic resonance imaging and had pain complaints. Pain level was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scala (VAS), functional capacity with Lysholm scale, and quality of life with Short Form-36(SF-36). Q-angle, and thigh circumference were evaluated before and after exercise in all patients.
Results: In patients with CMP, there were significant differences in Q-angle, pain, functional capacity, and some subcomponents of the SF-36 quality of life after performing isometric or isotonic exercises compared with the control group (p0,05). In the evaluation of the isotonic and isometric exercise groups, there were no significant difference in the assessment of Q-angle, thigh circumference, pain, functional capacity, and quality of life of patients with CMP (p>0,05).
Conclusion: Isometric and isotonic quadriceps strengthening exercises are not superior to each other in terms of pain, functional capacity, and quality of life in CMP treatment.

Published: January 2023

Purpose: This study aim to determine the occurrence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in pregnancies after IVF treatment and to evaluate the factors that reduce this risk.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted using the medical records of pregnant women who conceived following IVF at the in-vitro fertilization center between 2002–2019. The data were obtained from medical records and phone interviews. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed.
Results: The incidence of GDM was found to be 16.7%. The regression model indicated that the risk of GDM was 4.57 times higher in the age group 36–40 at conception during the IVF cycle than the age group 31–35 (95% CI = 1.18–17.73, p = .028). Furthermore, women who conceived after the second IVF trial had a risk of GDM 3.464 times higher than those that conceived after their first IVF trial (95% CI = 1.07–11.23, p= .038).
Conclusion: As age and number of IVF trials increase in infertile women, the risk of GDM increases after IVF treatment.

Authors: Fedorenko Gennadiy , Fesenko Herman , Kharchenko Vyacheslav 
Published: January 2023

The subject of the article are the methods of detection and recognition of explosive objects. The aim of the work is to develop the main provisions of the concept of guaranteed detection and recognition of explosive objects. The following tasks were solved in the article: an analysis of existing approaches to the use of traditional single and combined, as well as non-traditional (biological) methods of detecting explosive objects, development of a classification table of methods of detection of explosive objects according to physical principles, analysis of advantages and disadvantages of the considered methods of detection of explosive objects, development of comparative table methods of detecting explosive objects, formulation of the introductory provisions of the concept of guaranteed detection and recognition of explosive objects. The following methods are used – methods of comparison, methods of abstraction, methods of analysis and synthesis, methods of scientific induction. The following results were obtained – an analysis of the features of the existing traditional and non-traditional (biological) methods of detecting explosive objects was carried out. A classification of methods for detecting explosive objects is proposed, taking into account the parameters that affect the probability of detection and productivity. The results of a comparative analysis of explosive object detection methods are presented in tabular form according to the following indicators: type of interaction with explosive objects, platform type, potential productivity, information technology support, quality parameters, and economic indicators. The main provisions of guaranteed detection and recognition of explosive objects are formulated. Conclusions: the low productivity of the existing methods does not allow for quick and effective clearing of the territory contaminated by explosive objects, which leads to a large number of injuries and deaths of people due to the detonation of explosive objects. The use of individual detection methods alone cannot significantly increase the probability of detecting explosive objects. To increase the productivity and safety of the search and disposal of explosive objects, it is advisable to use unmanned intelligent platforms to deliver information and measurement tools.

Published: January 2023

Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengutarakan mengenai Kebijakan Pemerintah Amerika Serikat Terhadap Migran (Muslim). Masalah difokuskan pada kebijakan yang erat kaitannya dengan Islamofobia yang terjadi di Amerika Serikat. Guna mendekati masalah ini dipergunakan acuan teori dari Perintah Eksekutif 13769 atau yang dikenal dengan Travel Ban. Data-data dikumpulkan melalui studi literatur yang menggunakan berbagai artikel yang dipilah dan juga disitasi dan dianalisis secara kualitatif. Kajian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kebijakan Travel Ban malah mendukung adanya Islamofobia. Sehingga memunculkan diskriminasi kepada orang-orang dan imigran yang beragama islam. Dan kebijakan ini menuai berbagai respon penduduk yang tidak setuju terhadap kebijakan tersebut karena tidak sesuai dengan prinsip Amerika Serikat terutama dalam hal kebebasan diri dan prinsip demokrasi yang berisikan bahwa semua rakyat sama kedudukannya dalam hukum sehingga Presiden Donald Trump merevisi kebijakan Travel Ban dengan mengeluarkan Perintah Eksekutif 13780. Sedangkan pengganti Presiden Donald Trump yakni Presiden Joe Biden belum mampu mengatasi Islamofobia dengan kebijakannya yang mengedepankan kesetaraan rasial.

Based on data from the Land Office of Padang Panjang City in 2016 and 2010 there was a decrease in the number of paddy fields by 42.5 hectares, while settlements increased by 52.9 hectares. The purpose of this study was to see changes in the use of agricultural land into settlements, the spatial pattern of residential land in the 2010-2019 period and to determine the direction of settlement development. Analysis of land use change was carried out by overlaying land use maps in 2010 and 2019, after which an analysis was carried out by creating a buffer against the road. To find out the spatial pattern of land use change in the 2010-2019 period, the Nearest Neighbor (ANN) analysis was carried out. To determine the direction of settlement development, an analysis of the concentration of settlements was carried out in 2010 and 2019 using the centroid point. The results showed that Pasar Baru Village was the area that experienced the highest percentage of land conversion, which was 46%. The majority of these conversions occur at a low population density of 67% and on a road buffer within 50 meters of 64.47%. The spatial pattern of residential land in the 2010-2019 period in the City of Padang Panjang is clustered. The results of the analysis of the direction of settlement development showed that there was a shift in the direction of the settlement to the southeast as far as 300 meters.

Abstract
This article will examine “Sistema decimal entre los antiguos peruanos” by Ricardo Palma. Palma’s essay argues that the Inkas used the decimal system by departing from a philological analysis of Ollantay and the Royal Commentaries of Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. It will consider why this piece is an essay and not a tradición by comparing its constituent elements with the characteristics of the essay as Gómez Martínez theorizes them, including discursivity, lack of a rigid structure, inciting reflection, digression, and vagueness in quoting practices. If Palma does a philological study of Ollantay and the Royal Commentaries, the present article will complete a philological study of Palma’s “Sistema decimal”.

Keywords: Ricardo Palma, “Sistema decimal”, essay, discursivity, Inca Garcilaso de la Vega, Ollantay, Peruvian literature.
