Comparison of the effects of a physiotherapy protocol and platelet-rich plasma treatment on pain, functionality, and kinesiophobia in women with medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee
Authors: Alcin Fatma Nur , Turhan Begumhan 
Published: March 2023

IntroductionAlthough the popularity of platelet-rich plasma treatments has recently increased, physiotherapy is still one of the recommended methods of gonarthrosis treatment. The aim of the study was to examine the preferability of lower-cost physiotherapy compared with high-cost platelet-rich plasma treatment for gonarthrosis and the effects of both treatments on pain, functionality, and kinesiophobia.MethodsOverall, 61 women participated in this randomized controlled study. The first group (physiotherapy) received conservative physiotherapy treatment (hot pack, ultrasound, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, manual therapy) and home exercises. The second group (platelet-rich plasma) underwent only a home exercise program. An isometric knee exercise, an isotonic knee exercise, and dynamic step exercises for the quadriceps femoris muscle were planned for the home exercises. Exercise program compliance was monitored by exercise diary and telephone calls every day. The patients were evaluated in terms of pain levels, physical limitations (WOMAC and Lysholm scales), and kinesiophobia (Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia). Data were collected 4 times (before treatment and in the 4<sup>th</sup>, 8<sup>th</sup>, and 12<sup>th</sup> week).ResultsThe patients’ average age was 60.92 ± 10.67 years. In both groups, there was a decrease in pain and WOMAC and Tampa scores, and an increase in Lysholm scores compared with the pre-treatment outcomes (<i>p</i> < 0.05). No between-group difference in these parameters was observed (<i>p</i> > 0.05).ConclusionsThe scarce difference in the indirect comparisons of the groups in terms of pain, functionality, and kinesiophobia scores may indicate that the two treatment methods may be equally recommended.
Olaparib (Lynparza)

Published: March 2023

CADTH recommends that Lynparza be reimbursed by public drug plans for the adjuvant treatment of adult patients with deleterious or suspected deleterious germline BRCA-mutated (gBRCAm), human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)-negative high-risk early breast cancer who have been treated with neoadjuvant or adjuvant chemotherapy if certain conditions are met.
Lynparza should only be covered in patients with a confirmed type of inherited (germline) abnormal BRCA gene, whose early-stage breast cancer tests negative for the HER2 protein, who are at high risk for breast cancer recurrence, and who have received chemotherapy before or after surgery.
Lynparza should only be reimbursed if prescribed by clinicians with expertise and experience in treating breast cancer, and if the cost is reduced.
ULUS-İNŞA SÜRECİNDE MİLLİYETÇİLİĞİN TOPLUMSAL CİNSİYET İNŞASI

Published: March 2023

Sosyal yaşamın hemen her alanında ve her gün karşı karşıya kaldığımız karmaşık ve çetrefilli bir konu olan toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğinin/eşitsizliğinin milliyetçilik ile olan ilişkisi bu makalede ulusal inşa dönemi kapsamında ele alınacaktır. Milliyetçiliğin en fazla hissedildiği ve ulusal kimliğin tartışıldığı dönemde toplumda kabul gören cinsi kimlikler de milliyetçi yaklaşımın rüzgârından etkilenmiştir. Milli kimliğin temellerinin atıldığı süreçte, kadınlık ve erkeklik tanımları da yapılmıştır. Söz konusu dönemin siyasi ve askeri koşulları göz önünde bulundurulduğunda kadınların biyolojik özelliklerine yapılan vurgu ve kadınlığı neredeyse annelikle eş gören bakış açısı kadınlara bir takım milli misyonlar yüklemiştir. Bu noktada, erkeklik ise asker millet olarak ifade edilen Türk milletinde, savaşçı ve kahraman olmak gibi niteliklerle ifade edilerek; ulusun erkek vatandaşları ulusal sınırların ve milletin savunmasından sorumlu tutulmuşlardır.
Makalede, bugün halen kelimenin tam anlamıyla toplumsal cinsiyet eşitliğinden söz edilemiyor olmasında, ulus-devletlerin geçerliliğini koruduğu bir uluslararası sistemde yaşıyor olmamızın ve ulus-devletlerin kurucu yaklaşımı olan milliyetçiliğin yadsınamaz payı olduğu savunulmaktadır. Geleneksel ve milli değerlerin topluma inşa ettiği cinsiyetçi normların izi yaşantımızın her ayrıntısında etkisini korumaktadır.
Morphological evolution and spatial profile changes of poleward moving auroral forms
Authors: Goertz Anton , Partamies Noora , Whiter Daniel , Baddeley Lisa 
Published: March 2023

Abstract. We investigated the morphology of poleward moving auroral forms (PMAFs)
qualitatively by visual inspection of all-sky camera (ASC) images
and quantitatively using the arciness index. The PMAFs in this study
were initially identified with a meridian scanning photometer (MSP) located
at the Kjell Henriksen Observatory (KHO), Svalbard, and analyzed using
ASC images taken by cameras at the KHO and in Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard. We
present a detailed six-step evolution of PMAF morphology in two dimensions.
This evolution includes (1) an equatorward expansion of the auroral
oval and an intensification of auroral brightness at the open–closed
boundary (OCB), (2) the appearance of an arc-like structure in the oval,
(3) poleward and possible west/eastward propagation,
(4) azimuthal expansion events, (5) re-brightening of the PMAF and
eventual (6) fading away. This is the first work dedicated to the
morphological evolution of PMAFs and it includes more detailed discussion
and novel aspects, such as the observation of initial merging of 557.7 nm
auroral patches to form a PMAF. Moreover, the morphology of PMAFs
is quantified using the arciness index, which is a number describing
how arc-like auroral forms appear in ASC images. This allows an unbiased
statistical investigation of auroral morphology. We present the results
of a superposed epoch analysis of arciness in relation to PMAF occurrence.
This analysis uncovered that arciness increases suddenly during the
onset of a PMAF event and decreases over the PMAF lifetime to return
to its baseline value once the event has concluded. This behavior
may be understood based on changes in the morphology of PMAFs and
validates our understanding of PMAF morphology. Furthermore, our findings
relating to arciness may enable automatic identification of PMAFs,
which has been found to be notoriously difficult.
Antenna Setup for Future Joint Radar-Communications – Characteristics and Mounting Positions

Published: March 2023

Abstract. The development of millimeter wave systems is driven by the strong trend toward new communications generations and especially by the emerging joint radar and communications design approach.
Safety-critical applications like platooning or intersection assistance will significantly benefit from the combination of sensing and communications.
While radar performs a channel measurement and thus, needs a wide field of view (especially in city/intersection scenarios), communications aims to minimize the interference for other not addressed receivers (e. g. in a platoon) by a focused antenna design.
The proposed work extends the analysis of the influence of various antenna positioning
for a typical automotive scene by taking also different characteristics (antenna gain, half power beamwidth, and sidelobe level) into account.
Hereby, it is mandatory to investigate the communications and sensing performance simultaneously.
The positions at the front bumper – typical for radar sensors – and especially at the left mirror convinced regarding the vehicular communications as well as the sensing behaviour.
Applying focused antennas is promising, however, has also limits if the signals are not received out of the main beam but out of the sidelobes, resulting in a critical communications performance.
Thus, beam steering is recommended to be applied in the future.
Towards Steering Magnetic Nanoparticles in Drug Targeting Using a Linear Halbach Array

Published: March 2023

Abstract. Magnetic nanoparticles offer numerous promising biomedical applications, e.g. magnetic drug targeting. Here, magnetic drug carriers inside the human body are directed towards tumorous tissue by an external magnetic field. However, the success of the treatment strongly depends on the amount of drug carriers, reaching the desired tumor region. This steering process is still an open research topic.
In this paper, the previous study of a linear Halbach array is extended by an additional Halbach array with different magnetization angles between two adjacent magnets and investigated numerically using COMSOL Multiphysics.
The Halbach arrays are arranged with permanent magnets and generate a relatively large region of a moderately homogeneous, high magnetic field while having a strong gradient.
This results in a strong magnetic force, trapping many particles at the magnets. Afterwards, to avoid particle agglomeration, the Halbach array is flipped to its weak side. Therefore, the magnetic flux density, its gradient and the resulting magnetic force are computed for the different Halbach arrays with different constellations of magnetization directions.
Since the calculation of the gradient can lead to high errors due to the used mesh in Comsol, the gradient was derived analytically by investigating two different fitting functions.
Overall, the array with a 90∘ shifted magnetization performs best, changing the magnetic sides of the array easily and deflecting more particles.
Besides, the results revealed that the magnetic force dominates directly underneath the magnets compared to the other existing forces on the SPIONS.
Summarized, the results depict that the magnetic force and, thus, the region where the particles are able to get washed out, can be adjusted using low-cost permanent magnets.
Pembangunan Pemukiman Orang Asli Papua Dalam Perspektif Antropologi Papua di Kota Sorong

Published: March 2023

Domus Propria Domus Optima means that one's own home is always the best home. Home, this is the first door to enter the gate of life activities. Indigenous Papuans provide a gateway to home, neighbor and nature that presents itself to others. Settlement is the first awareness of humans to relate to others (the other). The other is a description of esse in its totality to create an encounter with nature. Settlement displays the facticity of the esse, which places me and the other in temporality.
Indigenous Papuans and their settlements illustrate human life that has often been discussed by everyone so far. The discussion that always arises is the difficulty of accepting the modernity of existing settlements. Differences in culture, ethnicity, character, religion prevent indigenous Papuans from feeling at home. Indigenous Papuans feel at home with God, others and nature in their settlements. At home shows the nature of indigenous Papuans who have two dimensions, namely personal and social dimensions. The personal dimension expresses the quality side in him that has uniqueness so that it distinguishes him from others. Here the indigenous Papuan is able to determine himself and all his actions. Likewise, the social dimension makes indigenous Papuans unable to live alone. He can always meet with God, others and nature. This is where indigenous Papuans realize themselves as true human beings. This condition makes indigenous Papuans act uniquely as humans.

Authors: Dias Nathaly 
Published: March 2023

Neste artigo abordaremos o processo de ressignificação que um grupo de mulheres negras da cidade de Curitiba fizeram da escultura Água pro Morro, que foi pejorativamente denominada “Maria Lata d’Água”. Primeiro, identificaremos a escultura, sua localização na cidade e sua confecção por parte do escultor Erbo Stenzel. Depois, será averiguada a colocação da escultura na cidade e a problemática de sua nomeação. Por fim, investigaremos as experiências destas mulheres e, em especial, da artista plástica Eliana Brasil ao ressignificar a obra. A metodologia utilizada, além de consulta em algumas fontes escritas (jornais), foi a da História Oral, por meio de entrevista feita com a artista. Como referencial de abordagem, utilizei as reflexões de Maria Célia Paoli sobre patrimônio e memória e sua relação com o exercício da cidadania e também as formulações de Johann Michel sobre a “política de esquecimento”.

: The retrospective study was conducted in the Department of Gynecology Dr. Ruth K. M. Pfau Civil Hospital Karachi, from February 2021 to February 2022, for the evaluation of factors associated with the success of TOLAC (trial of labor after cesarean delivery) and to identify variables for predicting the success of TOLAC in subjects with prior Caesarean section (CS). A total of 315 women were included in the study. They were divided into the validation cohort (n=20, 63%) and the training cohort(n=295, 93.6%). The primary endpoint was the success rate of vaginal delivery. The results showed that of 315 participants, 264 (83.8%) women had successful TOLAC and vaginal delivery, and 51 (16.1%) had ERCS. According to multivariate analysis, BMI-estimated birth weight, gestational age <41 weeks, rupture of membranes, and cervix Bishop score ≥5 was significantly associated with the success of TOLAC. Results suggest that TOLAC has a high success rate in women with a history of c-sections.

This research uncovers the types of Foreign Language Anxiety (FLA) proposed by Horwitz, Elaine K., Horwitz, Michael B., & Joann Cope (1986) felt by students. This research uses instrument of Belief About Language Learning Inventory (BALLI) proposed by Horwitz, Elaine K. (1988) in the form of questionnaire using Guttman scale. It is narrative design of qualitative research. Furthermore, the analysis is completed by thematic analysis passing five steps to draw a conclusion correlated with the respondents’ respond to the questionnaire. The respondents of this research are the university students of Economic Department, Universitas Islam Sumatera Utara (UISU), Indonesia, Academic Year 2022-2023. The research result found that the highest percentage of people who are anxious about language learning is 64%. It focuses on test anxiety, specifically fear of making mistakes, followed by fear of negative evaluation, specifically fear of receiving a low grade (63%). Then it is on test anxiety, specifically feeling inferior (57%) followed by fear of negative evaluation, specifically fear of correction (49%). Finally, communication anxiety: lack of self-confidence ranks fifth (43%) followed by fear of speaking (35%). Because the percentage of test anxiety and fear of negative evaluation is higher than that of communication skill, the researchers conclude that what makes students anxious in learning foreign language (English) is the grammar or structure of the language.
Buffering Anxiety of Pandemics: A Post-pandemic Perspective to Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion
Authors: Saad Mansour Dalia 
Published: March 2023

This interdisciplinary study aims to explore the psychological impact of pandemics in cinema with a special reference to Steven Soderbergh’s movie Contagion. The study refers to Orhan Pamuk’s essay, “What the Great Pandemic Novels Teach Us” (2020), about Pandemic novels where he traces the common initial responses to the outbreak of a pandemic by comparing the current coronavirus pandemic and the historical outbreaks of plague and cholera pinpointing the traits attributed to pandemics and suggesting other psychological defense mechanisms. In this respect, the study attempts exploring the re-contextualization of Pamuk’s ideologies in cinema through shedding the light on the functions of camera angle shots, colors, sound effects, point of view, and flashbacks.
Orientalism and Periods of Translating the Qur’an: Types and History of Oriental Translations

Published: March 2023

This study aims to build bridges of thought between the East and the West and to correct the fallacies and negative ideas claimed by the West against the Eastern thought, especially Islam, as an adversary and enemy. The West claimed it as a reactionary thought. The translation movement from Arabic into English, especially Islamic texts, faces great difficulty because English vocabulary is limited to covering Arabic vocabulary, not to mention Islamic vocabulary and expressions that have not yet been adequately translated into English, such as the terms: the unseen and the Day of Resurrection, and their names such as “al-Qāriʻah, al-ṭāmh, al-ṣākhh”. Even the word Ṣalāt ‘prayers’ is translated by most English translators barring in mind the same concept of prayer in Christianity which is not appropriate and which refers to a lack of English morphological roots. The English morphological roots are about 6000, while the Arabic roots are more than 600,000. In addition to the lack of translated references into Arabic that are related to the research subject.

Assessing the restorativeness of American school discipline programmes
Restorative justice principles have been lauded for their potential to decrease school-based disparities in discipline, especially owing to the disproportionately negative impact on minority students and students with disabilities. Despite high levels of financial investment, little remains known about the quality of restorative justice programmes or the specific mechanism by which restorativeness is embedded into these approaches. Using the Olson and Sarver (2021) Restorative Index as a validation tool, this study assesses the level of restorativeness of twelve school-based restorative justice programmes. These programmes were identified and included on the basis of the fact that they were implemented within a U.S. school, sought to address a specific student behaviour or set of student behaviours through a restorative practice, and were subject to at least one outcomes study available in an English language journal, thesis/dissertation or report. Findings indicate a mixed level of restorative quality between programmes, with outward engagement domains of restorativeness less likely to be evident in programmes when compared with more traditionally known elements of restorative justice. In addition, U.S.-based school restorative justice programmes continue to rely on discipline-oriented practices despite claims of change. We discuss implications for both the Restorative Index and the restorative justice discipline.

Japanese Military “Comfort Women” Knowledge Graph
Authors: Park Haram , Kim Haklae 
Published: March 2023

Materials related to Japanese military “comfort women” in Korea are managed by several institutions. Each digital archive has their own metadata schema and management policies. So far, a standard or a common guideline for describing digital records is not formalized.
We propose a Japanese military “comfort women” knowledge graph to semantically interlink the digital records from distributed digital archives. To build a Japanese military “comfort women” knowledge graph, digital records and descriptive metadata were collected from existing digital archives. A list of metadata was defined by analyzing commonly used properties and a knowledge model designed by reusing standard vocabularies. Knowledge was constructed by interlinking the collected records, external data sources, and enriching data. The knowledge graph was evaluated using the FAIR data maturity model.
