Abstract

Introduction
Sweet syndrome, also called acute febrile neutrophilic dermatosis, is a rare disorder characterized by skin lesions accompanied by high fever and elevated inflammatory markers.

Case Presentation
In January 2023, a 73-year-old Caucasian male was diagnosed with acute myeloblastic leukemia and subsequently chemotherapy with azacitidine and venetoclax was initiated. One week after the second round of chemotherapy with azacitidine, the patient developed a fever of 39˚C. Physical examination revealed purple plaques on the skin of the head, neck, and arms associated with pain but not itching. Initially, the plaques appeared at the site of the subcutaneous azacitidine injection (left upper extremity) and then began to spread. The infectious diseases consultation established the diagnosis of multiple abscesses. Antibiotic therapy was initiated with meropenemum and linezolidum, and later colistin was associated, but the skin lesions and the patient’s condition worsened. A dermatology consultation was performed, which established the diagnosis of Sweet syndrome, and subsequently corticosteroid therapy was started. The skin lesions started to improve after 3 days.

Conclusions
Sweet syndrome is a rare condition that is difficult to diagnose because of the wide spectrum of differential diagnoses.
Small and Medium-Sized Port Greening Initiatives as Trigger for a Servitisation Port Ecosystem

Published: September 2023

Abstract
Despite the highest competition among the big EU seaports – gateways and hubs, such as Rotterdam, Antwerp, Hamburg or Valencia, etc. which stand for the Core Ports in the European Union (EU) Trans-European Transport Network (TEN-T) Core and Comprehensive Network, the present paper addresses challenges and raises potentials immanent in Small and Medium-Sized Ports (SMSPs) in the EU. Environmental responsibility and digital efficiency – Europe’s twin to a green and digital economy paves the way for SMSPs to improve innovation capacity, upgrade demanded future skills and competencies, accelerate EU policies compliant operational, environmental, digital, social and market performance. The paper deploys a multi-case study approach. Using an ecosystem approach, the paper reveals potentials and pinpoints to key short- and long-term challenges pursuant to SMSPs in the three different EU macro-regions – Baltic Sea Region, Adriatic-Ionian Sea Region and Mediterranean Sea Region along the three TEN-T Core Network Corridors Orient-East Med, North Sea-Baltic and Scandinavian-Mediterranean. Departing from the role model – Baltic Sea Region – ports of Kaunas, Klaipeda & Wismar are connected via TEN-T corridors with ports of Bari and Corfu. In this vein, knowledge, skills and best practices are transferred from the North Europe to the South and vice versa using the concepts of co-creation and servitisation. Illustrated case studies reveal how all SMSPs are capable to kick-start environmental and digital transition through co-creation and servitisation mindset in a SMSP ecosystem conceptualisation.
Familienpolitische Trends in den OECD-Ländern
Authors: Queisser Monika , Fluchtmann Jonas 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The range of family policies in OECD countries has been influenced by various factors, including demographic shifts, efforts to integrate more women into the workforce, promoting shared responsibility in unpaid work, pursuing broader gender equality goals, and combating child and family poverty. What policy measures have OECD countries implemented and what are the results? How do recent developments in Germany compare to this?
Der Weg zu einer zukunftsfähigen Familienpolitik
Authors: Allmendinger Jutta , Boden Michelle 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Before the 2023 summer recess, family policy was, surprisingly, the centre of political debate. Guaranteed child allowance, the abolition of parental benefits for the highest earners, the abolition of income tax relief for married couples, and the pension for surviving dependents were up for negotiation. However, the heated discussions neglected the central question: In which direction is our society headed, and what must our family policy aim for? What criteria should it follow? This article addresses these questions, outlines the situation of children and parents, sketches normative guidelines for an inclusive family policy and makes suggestions for its design.
Reformen bei Elterngeld und Ehegattensplitting könnten gleichstellungspolitische Impulse setzen
Authors: Wrohlich Katharina 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
Germany is characterised by large gender gaps in the labour market. Both the gender pay gap as well as the gender gap in working hours are among the highest in Europe. Family policy reforms such as increasing the parental leave period that is ear-marked for fathers as well as reducing the high marginal tax rates for secondary earners resulting from the joint taxation of married couples with full income splitting (“Ehegattensplitting”) could help to mitigate the existing gender gaps in the labour market. These reforms are also paramount due to the increasing labour scarcity stemming from the demographic change.
Das neue Gebäudeenergiegesetz
Authors: Söllner Fritz 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The reform of the Buildings Energy Act is intended to increase the share of renewable energies in the heat sector. But the proposed measures (among which the promotion of electric heat pumps figures prominently) are ecologically ineffective. They will not decrease the total amount of CO2 emissions in Germany, which are already subject to the caps of national and European emissions trading systems. Installing heat pumps in the building stock will require high investments and thus make any emission reductions in the heat sector much more expensive than in other sectors. Furthermore, due to its command-and-control approach, the bill is incompatible with the central principles of the German Social Market Economy.
Neuer Verhaltenskodex für EZB-Ratsmitglieder erzeugt Klärungsbedarf
Authors: Hansen Arne 
Published: September 2023

Abstract
The trust placed in a central back is considered its most important asset – especially in turbulent times for monetary policy. In order to avoid any appearance of conflicts of interest, the European Central Bank (ECB) felt motivated to tighten its Code of Conduct for high-level officials at the beginning of 2023. However, an analysis of current self-disclosures by the members of the ECB’s Governing Council on their financial investments indicates a lack of clarity in the new investment rules, which seems to result in inconsistent and partly contradictory disclosures – especially with regard to “legacy assets”. The clarity and comprehensibility of the rules as well as their consistent implementation should therefore be reviewed in order to prevent an erosion of confidence in the ECB.
International aspects of the road tradition (Russia, XVII–XIX centuries)
Authors: Korshunkov V. A. 
Published: September 2023

Introduction. Russian government in the 17th–19th centuries had to maintain control over vast and sparsely populated territories. Modern historians, specialists in Russia, should take into account its specifics and specifically the state of the roads along which horse-drawn vehicles were moving. Investigating the road infrastructure of Russia one can imagine the conditions and circumstances in which the state and society functioned.Materials and methods. This paper explores one of the aspects of the so-called road tradition of Russia – the manifestation of international relations in the context of road traffic. The study of the road tradition is linked to the anthropological approach that historians increasingly use in their works. The paper is based on a variety of narrative sources including fiction and journalistic texts.Results. Russia is not only the largest country in the world, but also one of the most multi-ethnic. A road often became the place where cultural and historical differences were revealed, as well as inter-confessional and inter-ethnic relations. Different types of international relations are studying in this paper: joking; attention to "alien"; interaction of local people with foreigners in the Russian territory; explicit conflicts.Conclusion. It is concluded that a road was dangerous and unpredictable place, and therefore there were often quarrels and conflicts during the traffic. The causes of these quarrels and conflicts have been brewing for a long time, and the reasons could be insignificant.

Abstrak: Tingkat kesejahteraan petambak garam merupakan hal yang perlu mendapat perhatian serius, mengingat jarangnya para petambak memperoleh perhatian dan minim intervensi pemerintah melalui beragam program penanggungan kemiskinan. Penelitian bertujuan untuk mengkaji interelasi luas lahan dengan tingkat kesejahteraan petambak garam di Desa Kidang-Kabupaten Lombok Tengah. Riset menerapkan pendekatan mixed methods research bertipe the convergent parallel design didukung metode survey. Data penelitian diperoleh dari sebaran angket, wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Analisis data kuantitatif menggunakan formula persentase, dan kualitatif melalui tahap pengumpulan data, display data, penyajian dan penarikan simpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dalam prinsip interelasi, lahan tambak dengan petambak garam merupakan fenomena yang saling terhubung. Tetapi, relasi luas lahan tambak dengan tingkat kesejahteraan petambak menunjukkan keterikatan lemah dengan koefisien korelasi sebesar 0,211. Artinya, luas lahan yang dimiliki petambak tidak serta merta mempengaruhi tingkat kesejahteraan petambak garam. Disarankan agar pihak pemerintah dan pihak berkompeten lainnya lebih memperhatikan kesejahteraan petambak melalui berbagai pendekatan. Abstract: The welfare of salt farmers is a matter that needs serious attention, given the lack of attention and minimal government intervention through various poverty alleviation programmes. The research aims to examine the interrelationship between land area and the level of welfare of salt farmers in Kidang Village, Central Lombok Regency. The research applies a mixed-methods research approach with a convergent parallel design type supported by a survey method. Research data was obtained from the distribution of questionnaires, interviews, observation, and documentation. Quantitative data analysis uses a percentage formula, and qualitative data analysis goes through the stages of data collection, data display, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that according to the principle of interrelation, pond land and salt farmers are interconnected phenomena. However, the relationship between the area of ponds and the level of welfare of farmers shows a weak relationship with a correlation coefficient of 0.211. That is, the area of land owned by farmers does not necessarily affect the level of welfare of salt farmers. It is recommended that the government and other competent parties pay more attention to the welfare of fish farmers through various approaches.
AMERİKA BİRLEŞİK DEVLETLERİ SAMSUN KONSOLOSUNUN GÖZÜNDEN 1920 YILINDA SAMSUN’UN DURUMU
Authors: KÜÇÜKER Yüksel 
Published: September 2023

Samsun Osmanlı hakimiyetine girdiği dönemden 19. yüzyıl başlarına kadar nispeten geri planda kalmış bir kıyı kenti olmuştur. Bu yüzyılda yaşanan gelişmeler kentin çehresini değiştirmeye başlamıştır. Karadeniz’in uluslararası ticarete açılmasıyla buharlı gemilerin uğrak noktası olan kent kısa sürede ekonomik ve sosyal olarak gelişme göstermiş, başka bölgelerden gelen göçlerle nüfusu artmıştır. 1830 yılında ABD ile Osmanlı Devleti arasında yapılan ticaret anlaşmasıyla ABD de Karadeniz ticaretine ortak olmuş ve Trabzon’dan sonra Samsun’a da bir diplomatik temsilcilik açmıştır. ABD adına faaliyet yürüten misyoner oluşumlarının bölgedeki çalışmaları bu ülkenin Samsun’da varlığını güçlendirmesine yardımcı olmuştur.
Birinci Dünya Savaşı ve Milli Mücadele dönemlerinde Karadeniz bölgesinde de karışıklıklar yaşanmış ve Rum ve Ermeni nüfusun yaşadığı Samsun da gelişmelerden doğrudan etkilenmiştir. Anadolu’da ortaya çıkan Milli Mücadele hareketi, özellikle Yunanistan ve İngiltere’nin desteğiyle hareket eden ayrılıkçı unsurların üzerine giderek bölgede asayişi sağlama yoluna gitmiştir. ABD bu dönemde doğrudan olayların içinde olmasa da bölgedeki çalışanları ve misyonerleri üzerinden ayrılıkçılardan yana tavır tutunmuştur. Böyle karışık bir dönemde Samsun’a konsolos olarak atanan S. Pinkney Tuck, görev süresi zarfında bölgedeki siyasî, ekonomik ve sosyal gelişmelere ilişkin ülkesini bilgilendirici raporlar hazırlamıştır.
Bu çalışmada Tuck’ın Amerikan arşivlerinden elde edilen 13 Aralık 1920 tarihli konsolosluk raporu ele alınmıştır. Tuck, bu raporunda siyasî gelişmelerden ziyade, Samsun’un üretim ve ticaret potansiyeli, kentte yaşayanların geçim koşulları, hayat alışkanlıkları, sağlık, eğlence ve kültürel altyapı olanakları gibi konulara ilişkin tespit ve gözlemlerine ait değerlendirmeler yapmıştır. Yabancı bir diplomatın kendini merkeze alarak yaptığı bu değerlendirmeler Milli Mücadele döneminde bir Anadolu kentindeki gündelik hayatı başka bir boyutuyla ortaya koyması açısından ilgi çekici bir muhteviyata sahiptir.
Studi Komparatif Kitab Hadis Karya Abdul Karim Amrullah (Haji Rasul) dan Syekh Muhammad Yunus (Tuanku Sasak)

Published: September 2023

Two great Minangkabau scholars, namely Abdul Karim Amrullah (Hajj Rasul) and (Tuanku Sasak) Sheikh Muhammad Yunus who lived in the late 19th and early 20th centuries have succeeded in compiling hadith books that are used as guidelines by the community and students in madrasas. The two books compiled by Hajj Rasul are the Book of Ayqâz an-Niyâm Fima Ibtada'a min Amril Qiyâm and the book of Asy-Syir'ah, and One book of hadith was compiled by Tuanku Sasak, namely Himpoenan Hadith. These three hadith books are interesting to study because they are both written by minangkabau scholars, one of whom rejected the order and one became the teacher of the order. The method used in this study is a comparative method, by comparing the work of the two scholars. From research, it was found that the background of writing the three hadith books is the same to answer the problems of the people who developed in the Minang realm. The methods used are both maudhui methods, but in his discussion Hajj Rasul strengthened his opinion with the Quran, Ijma, Qiyas and the opinions of friends, tabiin, ulama and fiqhiyyah methods as reinforcement of his arguments. To judge the sanad hadith, these two scholars in their books use the jarh wa Ta'dil method and to assess the quality of the hadith both scholars use the tarjih method.
Some Considerations on the Speed of Light
Authors: Yunusov Nigmatulla 
Published: September 2023

In this work, based on the proposed new refined definition of light in [1][2], which reveals the physical nature and properties of this object of matter at the level of photons, some considerations are put forward about the speed of light. According to these considerations, the propagation speed of individual photons in the vacuum of various components of the light spectrum, as a function of multiplicatively related two physical quantities - the wavelength and frequency of photons, remains a constant value. At the same time, the measured value of this speed by the measuring device* for various components of the light spectrum is noticeably, and in the ultraviolet range, significantly different. In the visible region of the light spectrum, this difference reaches a value of 1.9; in the infrared range - up to a value of 2.1; in the ultraviolet range - up to a value of 80; and in the full spectrum of light - up to a value of 320.
Comparison of biomechanical analysis results using different musculoskeletal models for children with cerebral palsy
Authors: Jing Zhibo , Han Jianda , Zhang Juanjuan 
Published: September 2023

Introduction: Musculoskeletal model-based simulations have gained popularity as a tool for analyzing human movement biomechanics. However, when examining the same gait, different models with varying anatomical data and assumptions may produce inconsistent biomechanical results. This inconsistency is particularly relevant for children with cerebral palsy, who often exhibit multiple pathological gait patterns that can impact model outputs.Methods: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of selecting musculoskeletal models on the biomechanical analysis results in children with cerebral palsy. Gait data were collected from multiple participants at slow, medium, and fast velocities. Joint kinematics, joint dynamics, and muscle activation were calculated using six popular musculoskeletal models within a biomechanical simulation environment.Results: The degree of inconsistency, measured as the root-mean-square deviation, in kinematic and kinetic results produced by the different models ranged from 4% to 40% joint motion range and 0%–28% joint moment range, respectively. The correlation between the results of the different models (both kinematic and kinetic) was good (R>0.85, P<0.01), with a stronger correlation observed in the kinetic results. Four of the six models showed a positive correlation between the simulated muscle activation of rectus femoris and the surface EMG, while all models exhibited a positive correlation between the activation of medial gastrocnemius and the surface EMG (P<0.01).Discussion: These results provide insights into the consistency of model results, factors influencing consistency, characteristics of each model’s outputs, mechanisms underlying these characteristics, and feasible applications for each model. By elucidating the impact of model selection on biomechanical analysis outcomes, this study advances the field’s understanding of musculoskeletal modeling and its implications for clinical gait analysis model decision-making in children with cerebral palsy.

ObjectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of total contact casts (TCCs) versus removable offloading interventions among patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).MethodsA comprehensive search was done in databases Embase, Cochrane Library, and, PubMed. The references of retrieved articles were reviewed, up until February 2023. Controlled trials comparing the effects of TCCs with removable offloading interventions (removable walking casts and footwear) in patients with DFUs were eligible for review.ResultsTwelve studies were included in the meta-analysis, involving 591 patients with DFUs. Among them, 269 patients were in the intervention group (TCC), and 322 in the control group (removable walking casts/footwear). The analysis revealed that the TCC group had higher healing rates (Risk Ratio(RR)=1.22; 95% confidence interval(CI):1.11 to 1.34, p&lt;0.001), shorter healing time (Standard Mean Difference(SMD)=-0.57; 95%CI: -1.01 to -0.13, P=0.010), and elevated occurrence of device-related complications (RR=1.70; 95%CI:1.01 to 2.88, P=0.047), compared with the control group. Subgroup analysis illustrated patients using TCCs had higher healing rates than those using removable walking casts (RR=1.20; 95%CI:1.08 to 1.34, p=0.001) and footwear (RR=1.25; 95%CI:1.04 to 1.51, p=0.019), but they required comparable time for ulcer healing compared with those using removable walking casts (SMD=-0.60; 95%CI: -1.22 to 0.02, P=0.058) or footwear group (SMD=-0.52; 95%CI: -1.17 to 0.12, P=0.110). Although patients using TCCs had significantly higher incidence of device-related complications than those using footwear (RR=4.81; 95%CI:1.30 to 17.74, p=0.018), they had similar one compared with those using the removable walking casts (RR=1.27; 95%CI:0.70 to 2.29, p=0.438).ConclusionThe use of TCCs in patients with DFUs resulted in improved rates of ulcer healing and shorter healing time compared to removable walking casts and footwear. However, it is important to note that TCCs were found to be associated with increased prevalence of complications.

ObjectiveContinuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is the standard of care for glucose monitoring in children with diabetes, however there are limited data reporting their use in hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH). Here, we evaluate CGM accuracy and its impact on quality of life in children with HH.MethodsReal-time CGM (Dexcom G5 and G6) was used in children with HH aged 0-16years. Data from self-monitoring capillary blood glucose (CBG) and CGM were collected over a period of up to 28days and analysed. Quality of life was assessed by the PedsQL4.0 general module and PedsQL2.0 family impact module, completed by children and their parents/carers before and after CGM insertion. Analysis of accuracy metrics included mean absolute relative difference (MARD) and proportion of CGM values within 15, 20, and 30% or 15, 20, and 30 mg/dL of reference glucose values &gt;100 mg/dL or ≤100 mg/dL, respectively (% 15/15, % 20/20, % 30/30). Clinical reliability was assessed with Clarke error grid (CEG) analyses.ResultsProspective longitudinal study with data analysed from 40 children. The overall MARD between reference glucose and paired CGM values (n=4,928) was 13.0% (Dexcom G5 12.8%, Dexcom G6 13.1%). The proportion of readings meeting %15/15 and %20/20 were 77.3% and 86.4%, respectively, with CEG analysis demonstrating 97.4% of all values in zones A and B. Within the hypoglycaemia range (&lt;70 mg/dL), the median ARD was 11.4% with a sensitivity and specificity of 64.2% and 91.3%, respectively. Overall PedsQL child report at baseline and endpoint were 57.6 (50.5 – 75.8) and 87.0 (82.9 – 91.2), and for parents were 60.3 (44.8 – 66.0) and 85.3 (83.7 – 91.3), respectively (both p&lt;0.001).ConclusionUse of CGM for children with HH is feasible, with clinically acceptable accuracy, particularly in the hypoglycaemic range. Quality of life measures demonstrate significant improvement after CGM use. These data are important to explore use of CGM in disease indications, including neonatal and paediatric diabetes, cystic fibrosis and glycogen storage disorders.
