Published: July 2023

Abstract
Background.
Although choroid plexus cysts are a frequent incidental neuroimaging finding, symptomatic ones are rare – series of more than five cases are hard to find. In the absence of high-volume studies, there are no generally accepted algorithms for diagnosis and treatment for this pathology. Proposed surgical techniques include microsurgical excision or fenestration and endoscopic excision or fenestration with or without additional shunting. No definitive conclusions exist about the superiority of a certain technique. Here we introduce an illustrative case of a patient with a symptomatic choroid plexus cyst in the trigone of the lateral ventricle and a systematic review of 65 additional published cases with the aim of identifying epidemiological features, variants of localization of the cysts, their symptoms, persistence of concomitant obstructive hydrocephalus, and treatment modalities.
Materials and methods.
A PRISMA-based literature search was performed on the PubMed, MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Knowledge databases. We include in the review case reports and case series of symptomatic choroid plexus cysts with full-texts or valuable abstracts available online in English and published by April 2023. All abstracts of retrieved studies were assessed by two independent researchers to avoid bias. Only descriptive statistics were used for the presentation of the results.
Results.
48 studies (39 case reports and 9 case series) with 65 depicted cases met the eligibility criteria. The review showed a slight predominance of choroid plexus cysts in men. The most common localizations of cysts were the trigone and the body of the lateral ventricle. Obstructive hydrocephalus is often present in patients with choroid plexus cysts. The most common symptoms of cysts were signs of increased ICP: headaches and vomiting. The main treatment approaches for symptomatic choroid plexus cysts were microsurgical excision, microsurgical fenestration, endoscopic fenestration, and total endoscopic excision. The tendency has been noted to shift from microsurgical to endoscopic procedures over the past two decades. Some data on the classification of cysts of the central nervous system and the underlying mechanisms of the pathogenesis of choroid plexus cysts are also presented.
Conclusion.
Although symptomatic cases of choroid plexus cysts are rare, by summarizing currently available data, one could clarify their common features and identify a preferable treatment modality.
The Teaching of English Conversation at Oxford Public School Morarkhera: A Case Study in India
Authors: Wahid Muhammad 
Published: July 2023

<p><em>This study was intended to describe the phenomenon of the implementation of the teaching of English conversation at Oxford Public School Morarkhera in India. Case study qualitative research was implemented in this study. To gain the data, the subjects of the study were chosen. The subjects in this study were the students of Oxford Public School Morarkhera who took the English Conversation class. They were from first grade to fifth grade. Data collection instruments used are interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis was analyzed using the model of Miles et al. consists of four stages, namely the data collection, data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show a lower percentage of speaking lessons at the school, which can be attributed to the priority given to reading and writing. In the first year, only 50% of the available teaching material is devoted to speaking, as it is considered the second skill to be mastered by students. Nevertheless, speaking skills must not be neglected in the English curriculum. The portion is sufficient as speaking activities will be integrated with other English skills. The teacher primarily uses English rather than Hindi during the teaching-learning process, which can lead to student stress due to a lack of comprehension. It is important for students to participate actively in speaking class activities, as mastering the English language, particularly speaking skills, is crucial for their success. The finding suggests that the communicative approach may require adaptation, and the schools should create an environment that supports and encourages English-speaking mastery among their students.</em></p>
Osmanlı Devleti’nin Son Dönemlerinde Manisa Merkez Hapishanesi (1870-1920)
Authors: GÜNEŞ Mehmet , DEVE Gözde 
Published: July 2023

Suçluların hapsedilmesini sistematik bir şekle sokan hapishaneler, XIX. yüzyılın ikinci yarısından itibaren yaygınlaşmaya başlamış, Batı’da olduğu gibi Osmanlı Devleti’nde de ceza sistemi içerisinde yerini almıştır. Bilhassa Tanzimat’la birlikte kabul edilen yeni ceza kanunları ve daha sonra yayımlanan nizamnameler ile hapis cezası ve bu cezanın mekansal boyutunu oluşturan hapishaneler ön plana çıkmıştır. Ancak bu durum önemli sorunları da beraberinde getirmiştir. Hapishaneler hususunda en önemli sorunlardan birisi bina sorunu olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Devletin içerisinde bulunduğu ekonomik durum, çoğu zaman yeni hapishane binaları inşa edilmesine müsaade etmediği gibi, hapishane amacıyla kullanılan mevcut yapıların tamiratına da imkan sağlamamıştır. Mahpusların son derece izdihamlı mekanlarda yaşama zorunluluğu, sağlık ve güvenlik gibi sorunları da beraberinde getirmiştir. Osmanlı Devleti'nin son dönemlerinde Manisa hapishanesi de bütün bu olumsuzlukları üzerinde bulundurması bakımından tipik bir örnek teşkil etmektedir.
Bu çalışmada, ağırlıklı olarak Cumhurbaşkanlığı Devlet Arşivleri Başkanlığı Osmanlı Arşivi'nde yer alan muhtelif tasniflerdeki belgelerden istifade ederek, Aydın vilayetine bağlı Saruhan sancağı Manisa kazası hapishanesinin 1870-1920 yılları arasındaki vaziyeti incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu bağlamda mezkur hapishanenin fiziki yapısı, tamirat ve inşası ve bunun için yapılan masraflar, mahkum ve tutuklular, hapishane görevlileri ve ücretleri ile ilgili bilgiler verilmeye çalışılmıştır. Aydın vilayeti ve dahilindeki diğer bazı liva ve kaza hapishaneleri ile ilgili birkaç çalışma mevcut olmakla birlikte Manisa merkez hapishanesi ile ilgili kapsamlı bir çalışma yapılmamış olup, bu çalışma ile bu konudaki eksikliğin giderilmesi amaçlanmaktadır.
Türkiye Büyük Millet Meclisi’nin İlk Musevi Mebusu: Samuel Abravaya Marmaralı

Osmanlı, bünyesi içinde yaşayan toplumu yani tebaayı bazı özelliklerine göre özellikle de dini inancına göre sınıflandırmıştır. Osmanlı Devleti çok farklı kıtadaki yönetimi altındaki insanları “Millet Sistemi” içerisinde bir arada tutmuştur. Millet sisteminde baz alınan ölçüt o toplumun ırkından ziyade dini inancı ön planda tutulmuş ve Müslüman olsun olmasın Osmanlı adaleti millet sistemi ile bütün Osmanlı milletine uygulanmıştır. Osmanlı, I. Dünya Savaşı sonrasında da dağılmış ve yerine Türkiye Cumhuriyeti kurularak din yapılı millet sisteminden, ırk bazlı vatandaş sistemine geçilmiştir.
Türkiye’de 1923’te Cumhuriyet ilan edilerek rejimin adı belli olmuştur. Bu kapsamda seçim yoluyla halkın kendi hür iradesiyle ülkeyi yönetecek mebusların millet meclisinde temsil edilmesi demokrasinin ana şartı olmuştur. Ülkedeki her kesimden insanın hür düşüncesinin savunulması ve farklı din ile ırka mensup vatandaşların da bu mecliste yer alması demokrasiyi daha da kuvvetlendirmiştir. Bu çerçevede Atatürk çok partili demokrasiyi desteklese 1930’da Serbest Cumhuriyet Fırkası’nın kendini feshetmesiyle ikinci deneme de başarısızlıkla sonuçlanmıştır. Çok partili adımlardan netice alamayan Atatürk, 1931’deki genel seçimlerden önce demokratik adımlardan vazgeçmeyerek Gayrı Müslim adaylar ile müstakil mebuslar politikasını uygulamıştır. Müstakil mebuslara iktidara kısmi güdümlü muhalefet rolü verilse de asıl amaç farklı duygu ve düşüncedeki Türkiye Cumhuriyeti vatandaşlarının mecliste temsil edilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Bu çalışma Atatürk döneminde 1935 ve 1939 seçimlerinde Musevilerin temsilcisi olarak Niğde’den müstakil mebus olan Samuel Abravaya Marmaralı’nın hayatı ve faaliyetlerini kapsamaktadır.
Statistical refinement of the North American Multi-Model Ensemble precipitation forecasts over Karoon basin, Iran

Published: July 2023

Abstract
An effective postprocessing approach has been examined to improve the skill of North American Multi-Model Ensemble (NMME) precipitation forecasts in the Karoon basin, Iran. The Copula–Bayesian approach was used along with the Normal Kernel Density marginal distribution and the Kernel Copula function. This process creates more than one postprocessing precipitation value as results candidates (first pass). A similar process is used for a second pass to obtain preprocessed values based on the candidate inputs, which helps identify the most suitable postprocessed value. The application of the technique for order preference by similarity to the ideal solution method based on conditional probability distribution functions of the first and second passes leads to achieving final improved forecast data among the existing candidates. To validate the results, data from 1982–2010 and 2011–2018 were used for the calibration and forecast periods. The results show that while the GFDL and CFS2 models tend to overestimate precipitation, most other NMME models underestimate it. Postprocessing improves the accuracy of forecasts for most models by 20%–40%. Overall, the proposed Copula–Bayesian postprocessing approach could provide more reliable forecasts with higher spatial and temporal consistency, better detection of extreme precipitation values, and a significant reduction in uncertainties.
Online Physician-Patient Interaction and Patient Satisfaction: Empirical Study of the Internet Hospital Service
Authors: Wu Doris Chenguang , Zhao Xianduo , Wu Ji 
Published: July 2023

Background
In China, a form of online health service called the internet hospital became a prominent means of patient care when face-to-face visits were not possible during the COVID-19 pandemic to minimize transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Patients’ internet hospital experiences largely depend on online physician-patient interaction. Yet, little is known about how physicians can improve patient satisfaction by using specific communication strategies online.

Objective
This study aimed to identify specific communication strategies to help physicians deliver better quality internet hospital services. We also outline recommendations for hospitals to operate internet hospital platforms more effectively.

Methods
A longitudinal data set was collected from an internet hospital platform operated by a top hospital in China. By extracting communication patterns from approximately 20,000 records of online health care services and by controlling the features of service requests, we tested the impacts of response load, more detailed style, and emotional comfort on patient satisfaction. We further explored the effects of these communication patterns in different service contexts.

Results
Physicians with a low response load, a more detailed style, and expressions of emotional comfort received more positive patient feedback. Response load did not affect patient satisfaction with free online health service, whereas a more detailed style and emotional comfort enhanced satisfaction with free service. Response load significantly reduced patient satisfaction with paid online health service, while a more detailed style had no effect. Compared with free service, emotional comfort more strongly promoted patient satisfaction with paid service.

Conclusions
The communication strategies identified can help physicians provide patients with a better internet hospital experience. These strategies require hospitals to schedule each physician’s online service period more appropriately. In addition, tailoring the strategies to service situations can facilitate more targeted and effective internet hospital service for patients.

Published: July 2023

Background
Salt substitutes are edible salts that contain less sodium chloride owing to its partial substitution with other minerals, which serve as an important and effective intervention and public health strategy targeting hypertension and its secondary diseases, despite a small degree of controversy.

Objective
This study aimed to identify the current salt substitute initiatives in various nations and intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) worldwide and summarize their types and characteristics.

Methods
A scoping review was performed based on Arksey and O’Malley’s framework and the latest guidance from the Joanna Briggs Institute. Searches were conducted on Google; government websites on food, health, and other related topics; PubMed; Web of Science; and Google Scholar from January 2022 to May 2022. Initiatives related to salt substitutes that were included in the study focused on the involvement of governments or IGOs through the publication of standards, actions, collaborations, funding, and so on. Data were extracted into Microsoft Excel (version 2019; Microsoft Corp) based on predefined items and analyzed using narrative synthesis and frequency count methods.

Results
A total of 35 initiatives from 11 countries (of which 9 are high-income countries) and 3 IGOs were identified. We classified all salt substitute initiatives into 5 types, namely benefit-risk assessments and cautions; plans and actions; regulations and standards; labels; and food reformulation, cooperation with the food industry, and media. More than half (18/35, 51%) of the salt substitute initiatives were launched within the past 5 years. Except for regulations and standards, salt substitute initiatives are, in general, part of the salt reduction framework. No nation or IGO has yet reported on the monitoring and implications of the use of salt substitutes.

Conclusions
Despite the limited number of salt substitute initiatives worldwide at present, a review on the different types and characteristics of such initiatives could be helpful in providing a reference for policy makers and stakeholders. Given the great potential of salt substitutes in improving hypertension and stroke, we call on more nations to pay attention to these substitutes and propose salt substitute initiatives in line with their national conditions.
Correlate of foreign direct investment and economic development evidence from Nigeria
Authors: Akpoviroro Kowo Solomon , Varečková Ľubica 
Published: July 2023

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and other macroeconomic variables such as the exchange rate, economic openness, and public sector investment are significant macroeconomic variables that drive economic growth and development. As a result, every government’s ability to sustain and maintain a balance among them is critical to long-term development. The studys goals were to establish the impact of foreign direct investment on Nigerias economic development, as well as the impact of the exchange rate on Nigeria’s economic development. The ex-post facto research design was used in this study, as well as secondary data. The explanatory variable was Foreign Direct Investment, and the control variable was the exchange rate. The study spans the years 1981 through 2019. The explanatory variable was Gross Fixed Capital Formation (GFCF), which is a proxy for economic progress, and the model was estimated using the Auto Regressive Distributed (ARDL) Model. The data for this study came from the World Bank Data Bases World Development Indicators of 2019 and the Central Bank of Nigerias Statistical Bulletin of 2019. According to the study, a 1.4 unit increase in foreign direct investment leads to a 1.4 unit increase in gross fixed capital creation. In addition, a unit increase in the exchange rate causes a 0.03-unit fall in gross fixed capital formation, and vice versa. According to the findings, there is a negligible positive link between FDI and GFCF, but a strong negative relationship between the exchange rates (EXR) and GFCF. As a result, the report suggests that FDI inflows be used to fund capital projects that are not for current consumption, such as good road networks, train lines across the country, and stable electricity supply. Without a doubt, this would lower the cost of doing business in Nigeria and boost profitability. According to our findings, while FDI alone cannot lead to economic growth and development, when other factors such as a favorable climate and simplified pre-investment procedures are available, more FDI will be drawn to key economic sectors, contributing to economic growth and development.

Published: July 2023

This research article studies collaborative consumption practices in Kyrgyzstan in the context of the Theory of Planned Behaviour and Auckland Individualism and Collectivism dimensions. The research aims to answer the question: To what extent are the Theory of Planned Behaviour and Individualism and Collectivism dimensions relevant framework to explaining intention to engage in collaborative consumption and collaborative consumption behaviour. A quantitative online survey of 308 respondents was conducted. A linear regression analysis was performed using the R statistics engine. The study found that dimensions of the TPB such as attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioural control, and personal norms; and the dimension of individualism – responsibility are among the statistically significant positive predictors of intentions to engage in collaborative consumption. Whereas personal norms, behavioural beliefs, advice, and closeness are positive; biospheric value orientations and harmony are negative factors impacting the collaborative consumption behaviour of respondents.

Analysis of Internal Nasal Valves Shapes and Angle due to Nasal Obstruction in Asian Nose
Authors: Melati Tiara , Reksodiputro Mirta Hediyati , Koento Trimartani , Iljanto Sandi 
Published: July 2023

BACKGROUND
Internal nasal valve (INV) is widely discussed because it is believed to have a role in structural nasal obstruction. Caucasian has a rather acute angle of INV due to the known geometric of their nose. Whilst Asian generally has broader, thicker, and bigger anthropometric proportion of nose than Caucasian. Asia is vastly diverse in ethnicity, one can only assume that Asian INV may be differ in shape and larger in angles compare to Caucasian, due to the minimum publication addressing this issue.
AIM
To report the anatomy of INV and its angle in obstructed Asian noses.
METHOD
A case control study was conducted. Forty cases of nasal obstruction and 80 controls without nasal obstruction. Both groups were evaluated using Nasal Obstruction Symptom Evaluation (NOSE) questionnaire, rigid nasal endoscopy and active anterior rhinomanometry (AAR). Anatomy and angle of INV was later measured using digital image analysis.
RESULT
Six basic INV shapes were seen throughout both groups, many has different shape combinations. Most commonly (more than 60%) observed shape in both groups were the occupied by nasal septal body (NSB). The right INV angle in case group was 15,5º ± 10,1º (p = 0,123) and left INV angle was 17,2º ± 9,0º (p = 0,022). In control group, the right INV angle was 19,6º ± 11,8º (p = 0,123) and left INV angle was 23,2º ± 12,5º (p = 0,022).
CONCLUSION
It is shown that most common shape of Asian INV in both groups, is the occupancy by NSB. Internal nasal valve angle in obstructed nose is narrower in comparison to those without nasal obstruction. This study also demonstrates Asian, particularly Indonesian, has a wider angle than Caucasian.
Perawatan Kulit Kering pada Lansia
Authors: Yulisa Dennely , Menaldi Sri Linuwih 
Published: July 2023

Kulit kering atau xerosis kutis merupakan kondisi kulit yang mengalami kekurangan kandungan air di stratum korneum. Kondisi tersebut sering terjadi pada lansia akibat menurunnya aktivitas kelenjar keringat, sebasea, gangguan keratinisasi serta menurunnya jumlah seramid dan natural mosturizing factor (NMF) atau kondisi penyakit lainnya. Kasus kulit kering di Indonesia dilaporkan pada tahun 2008 hingga 2013 di RSCM sebanyak 63,78%. Gejala kulit kering adalah gatal dengan lesi mulai dari eritema, skuama hingga berfisura yang predileksinya pada ekstensor tungkai bawah dan panggul. Perawatan kulit kering meliputi pemberian pelembab topikal, perubahan gaya hidup dan penyesuaian terhadap lingkungan. Penggunaan emolien dan petrolatum disarankan mengandung 10% urea atau 5% asam laktat digunakan dua kali sehari segera setelah mandi. Pemilihan sediaan pelembab menyesuaikan derajat xerosis dan kenyamanan pasien. Dianjurkan menghindari pelembab yang mengandung agen iritatif atau memicu sensitisasi kulit. Modifikasi kebiasaan seperti durasi mandi yang singkat, penggunaan sabun yang tepat dan kelembaban lingkungan juga penting bagi perawatan kulit kering.
