Authors: Latif Rukhsana , Ilyas Kashaf , Hafeez Zainab 
Published: June 2022

Objective: To investigate the efficacy of perioperative administration of a single dose of gabapentin on postoperative pain in patients undergoing sternotomy for CABG.
Methods: A cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at the cardiology ward of Ch. Pervaiz Elahi Institute of Cardiology, Multan, form 9th June 2020to 9th June 2021. The participants were consecutively enrolled in the Gabapentin group, who received 1200 mg of Gabapentin two hours before the surgery for the two days, and the placebo group. The outcomes measurement involved the need for fentanyl intake in the first two postoperative days; pain at rest and in the moment in the first three postoperative days; postsurgical sleep scores; and patients reported quality of recovery.
Results: A total of 50 patients were enrolled in the study, 25 in each group. No significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of fentanyl intake, sleep scores, visual analog pain score, and the need for any adjunctive pain medication (p>0.05). Similarly, no significant difference was found in terms of occurrence of side-effects and quality of recovery (p>0.05).
Conclusion: Pre-operative administration of a single dose of Gabapentin doesn’t significantly influence the post-operative pain, opioid consumption, sleep quality, or quality of recovery in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Authors: Ahmed Khawar , Rafiq Hussain , Tariq Shalmeen 
Published: June 2022

Objectives: To explore the prophylactic outcome and tolerability of topiramate in patients suffering from chronic episodes of migraine.
Methods: A prospective, non-interventional study was conducted at the Neurology Department of Nishtar Medical University & Hospital Multan from 17th Aug 2020 to 17th Aug 2021. The eligible patients were administered topiramate (flexible dose) for six months while the treatment was continued for another six months upon the advice of the physician. The patients were analyzed for improvement in migraine intensity and adverse effects of the evaluated drug at 2nd, 4th, 8th, 12th weeks, and at 6th, 9th, and 12th months. SPSS version 18 was used for statistical analysis
Results: Out of the total of one hundred enrolled patients, 30 discontinued the study due to unavoidable adverse effects, loss in the follow-up period, and other unknown reasons. The median endpoint dose was 45 mg/dl ± 20.5mg/day. Both median days with migraine episodes and median pain intensity score significantly reduced from 7 to 1.5 days and from 16 to 2.75, respectively (p<0.01). Women who were found to have menstruation-related migraines reported a decrease in the median number of migraine episodes from 3.0 to 0.8 (p=0.01). The utilization of triptan reduced significantly along with significant improvement in self-reported impairment of life. Nausea (2.5%) and paresthesia (5.7%) were the most reported adverse effects.
Conclusion: Topiramate not only significantly prevents migraine intensity and frequency of episodes but is also well-tolerated.

COVID-19 and Persons With Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities: Implications for Future Policy, Practice, and Research
Authors: Hewitt Amy S. , Smith John G. , Weintraub Liz 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has been hard for everyone. For the estimated seven and a half million people in the United States who live with intellectual disability (Residential Information Systems Project, 2020), it has been very hard. Lives have been disrupted by lost jobs, lack of access to friends/family, and challenges finding enough staff to provide supports and needed healthcare. Studies have shown that people with IDD are at a much greater risk of getting COVID-19 and dying from it (Cuypers et al., 2020; Gleason et al., 2021; Kaye, 2021; Landes, Turk, & Ervin, 2020; Nygren & Lulinski, 2020). Without question, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) struggled as the COVID-19 pandemic began and as it has continued. Too many were isolated from friends and family for far too long. Too many were lonely and bored. Too many have not received the support they have needed during the pandemic. Far too many were denied treatment and far too many have died. As a nation we must reflect on what has happened and listen to people with IDD and their families about their experiences. This commentary reflects on the implications of COVID-19 for research, policy, and practice through the lens of people with IDD.

Weed composition and maize yield in a former tin-mining area: A case study in Malim Nawar, Malaysia
Authors: Tong Pei Sin , Lim Tuck Meng 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Weed species composition has been assessed for major crops such as rice, rubber, and oil palm but not for cash crops in Malaysia. In this study, we determine the associations between maize yields and weed species, weed density, mean temperature, and mean rainfall. Annual field surveys of weeds were conducted in maize (Zea mays L.) in a former tin-mining land in Malim Nawar, Perak, Malaysia, during June of 2017, 2018, and 2020 to determine the effects of weeds on maize yields. The field surveys in 2017, 2018, and 2020 involved 120 quadrats (0.5 m × 0.5 m) with 40 replicates. Fifteen species were observed, representing 14 genera and 9 families and consisted of 9 broadleaves, 3 grasses, and 1 sedge. Phytosociological characteristics, namely, frequency, relative frequency, density, relative density, abundance, and relative abundance, were used to analyze weed species composition at the study site. The species with the highest mean density and relative abundance were Cyperus sp., followed by Amaranthus viridis, Eleusine indica, Hedyotis corymbosa, and Phyllanthus amarus. These five species accounted for 65% of the total relative abundance. Individual broadleaf, sedge, and grass weed types were compared between paired years using a two-proportion z-test. The variation in number of individuals in each group was significant between 2017 and 2018, 2018 and 2020, and 2017 and 2020. The relationship between maize yield and mean rainfall, mean temperature, and weed species was analyzed using a general linear model, none of which affected maize yields. The results of this study provide a foundation for practical weed management in maize fields in Malaysia, thereby contributing to sustainable agriculture and food security.
Surfactant as an anti-corrosive agent: a review
Authors: Pal Aniruddha , Sarkar Ratan , Karmakar Kripasindhu , Mondal Monohar Hossain , Saha Bidyut 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
Metal corrosion has always been a serious problem in industry. There has always been a need to increase the number of possible, cost-effective corrosion inhibitors. However, many commercially available corrosion inhibitors have both high efficiency and high toxicity, which has led environmental authorities to ban their use. As a result, there is growing interest in scientific research into the use of environmentally friendly compounds. Surfactants and biocompatible corrosion inhibitors are special types of chemicals suitable for long-term industrial use. Molecules with unique hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties can be used in a wide range of applications to solve solubilisation problems and improve extraction processes. The use of surfactant-based products to prevent corrosion on metallic surfaces is a new approach in the field of chemical science. This review article addresses the mechanism of corrosion on metal surfaces and discusses in detail the use of environmentally friendly, cost-effective and readily available surfactants as corrosion inhibitors. The properties and applications of different types of surfactants are also discussed.
Institutional Lending Practices in the Ur III Period (ca. 2110–2003 BCE): the še ur₅-ra-Loans from Ĝirsu-Lagaš
Authors: Notizia Palmiro 
Published: June 2022

Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the operation of the še ur₅-ra system of institutional loans of barley in late third millennium BCE Babylonia. In particular, it focuses on the še ur₅
-ra-loans stemming from the Ĝirsu-Lagaš province, one of the most important areas for cereal production of the entire Ur III kingdom. The article argues that the še ur₅-ra system, which was based on the availability of large quantities of barley in the provincial network of rural storage facilities, was designed and implemented to (1) reduce food losses, (2) provide state dependents with economic support in times of need, and (3) counteract and mitigate the impact of local crop failures on the institutional workforce at large.

The Antecedents of the First Hungarian Statistical Act and Its Significance in Consolidating Official Statistics in Hungary.
The paper presents the preparations and “history of making” of the first Hungarian Statistical Act enacted in 1874, beginning with the presentation of the period before the law was enacted through the analysis of its first drafts till the passing of its final version by the Hungarian Parliament. The author describes the multiple motivations for the need of a statistical law, the reasons that played major roles in the creation of the 1874 Act. Furthermore, the study demonstrates the impact, the results and also the failures of the law on state and administrative level, and also reflects on the opinions of contemporary statisticians and that of literature. The author emphasizes the role of Károly Keleti, the first director of the statistical office, in achieving the successful implementation of the Statistical Act. The research illustrates the close connection between the making of Act No. XXV of 1874 and the institutionalisation of official Hungarian statistics. Based on the examination of the first statistical law, the author also repeatedly reflects on the conditions and acceptance of statistics in 19th century-Hungary.
Temsilcilik maliyetleri bağlamında kaldıraç, sahiplik yoğunlaşması ve etkinlik ilişkisi: BIST kimya, ilaç, petrol, lastik ve plastik ürünler sektöründe bir uygulama
Authors: DİNÇERGÖK Burcu , YILDIZ Ayşe 
Published: June 2022

Bu çalışmada ortak-yönetici çatışmalarından kaynaklanan temsilcilik probleminin ve buna ilişkin maliyetlerin kaldıraç kullanımı ile azaltılıp azaltılmayacağı araştırılmaktadır. Çalışma 2018 ve 2019 yılları için Borsa İstanbul’da Kimya, İlaç, Petrol, Lastik ve Plastik Ürünler Sektöründe kayıtlı olan ve analiz şartlarını sağlayan 27 kimya firması kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmada finansal performans göstergelerini performans ölçütü olarak kullanan çalışmalardan farklı olarak performans ölçümü için farklı etkinlik hesaplamaları gerçekleştirilmiştir. Diğer değişkenlerle anlamlı bulunan ölçek etkinliği firmaların etkinlik göstergeleri olarak kullanılmıştır. Etkinliğin kaldıraca etkisi de oluşturulan başka bir modelle test edilmiştir. Tüm analizler sahiplik yoğunlaşmasının etkinliğe ve kaldıraç oranına olası etkileri dikkate alınarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Regresyon analizlerinden elde edilen sonuçlar, kaldıracın etkinlik üzerinde ve etkinliğin de kaldıraç üzerinde pozitif yönlü bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Sahiplik yoğunlaşması değişkenine dair elde edilen sonuçlar ise bu değişkenin kaldıraç ve etkinlik değişkeni üzerinde istatistiki açıdan etkili bir faktör olmadığını belirtmiştir.
Gambling on a Sale: Gift-enterprise Bookselling and Communities of Print in 1850s America
Authors: Highland Kristen 
Published: June 2022

This article explores the phenomenon of the gift enterprise bookstore in the mid-nineteenth-century United States. An early form of premium marketing, the gift-book enterprise promised to reward each book purchase with a surprise ‘gift’, ranging from pencils to dress patterns to cutlery to jewellery. A novel form of marketing books, the gift enterprise bookstore teetered on a thin line between sensation and sham. Although decried as form of illegal lottery gambling and beset by accusations of dishonesty, gift-book enterprises grew immensely popular. Drawing on extensive archival research on one of the most successful gift-book enterprises, the bookstores of G.G. and D.W. Evans—operating in urban centres from 1856–1861—this article examines gift enterprise bookselling in the context of mid-nineteenth-century American print cultures. As savvy entrepreneurs, the Evans’ leveraged the national reach and perceived authority of the newspaper by engaging in debates over the morality and legality of the business in the columns of widely-circulating papers and capitalised on editorial and reprinting practices to endorse their business model and market their bookstores. In addition, in lengthy bookseller catalogues distributed across the nation, the Evans’ created a bookstore in print and shaped inclusive imagined and real communities of reader-book buyers. Examining the print culture of Evans’ gift-book enterprise offers new insights into nineteenth-century book marketing and the ways in which gift enterprise bookselling was intimately connected to and inseparable from contemporary print forms, networks, and practices. Taking the gift-book enterprise seriously expands the histories of American bookselling and decentres the dominant focus on large publishers. In addition, the gift-bookstore phenomenon highlights how bookselling is always entwined with larger cultural dynamics.
Cicero, Voltaire and the Bible: French Best-Sellers in the Age of Enlightenment?*
Authors: Burrows Simon 
Published: June 2022

Since the early twentieth century, when Daniel Mornet conducted his path-breaking survey of private library catalogues in an attempt to determine what people read during the enlightenment, historians have debated how to identify the best-selling texts in the distant past. Besides library catalogues, scholars of eighteenth-century France have ransacked will inventories, publishers’ archives, print licence registers, book auction records, the titles available in cabinets de lecture, and even the extraordinarily rich records of books stamped in an amnesty for pirated editions in 1777–1781. This article suggests that none of these sources taken in isolation can give us sufficient insight to provide a reliable overview of the book trade and the market for books. Taken together and analysed digitally, however, they give important representative insights into the best-selling texts, genres and authors of the eighteenth century. The article compares and contrasts the findings of several large-scale digital projects to identify and explore the best-selling – or most frequently-encountered-texts across a number of genres including school-books, self-help manuals, popular medical texts, creative literature and religious works. In the process, it will help us to think more critically about what constituted a best-seller in the early modern period. By revealing some broad contours of eighteenth-century print culture, it will also challenge existing narratives of the enlightenment, secularisation, popular literacy and the book trade.
Indagación físico-química para la implementación de un método fotométrico de llama para determinar calcio en soluciones parenterales
Authors: Pérez López Esteban , Carranza Rodríguez Johanna 
Published: June 2022

El trabajo investigativo consistió en la indagación analítica de una propuesta fotométrica para la determinación de calcio en cinco distintas soluciones parenterales, en un laboratorio (A) del ámbito de la salud en Costa Rica. Primero, se determinó la concentración de calcio presente en las cinco soluciones parenterales mediante un método volumétrico con EDTA en el Laboratorio A, cuyos resultados se tomaron como referencia ya que el método se validó por un ente acreditado para tal fin. Seguidamente, se realizaron pruebas con el método fotométrico recomendado por el proveedor del fotómetro en el mismo Laboratorio A y en estas, se presentaron problemas de precisión y exactitud; por lo que, se acudió a la realización de las pruebas en un Laboratorio B con un instrumento idéntico, en el cual no ocurrieron problemas de precisión. Los resultados de ambos laboratorios se compararon estadísticamente con una prueba de t-Student y se afirmó que existe suficiente evidencia estadística para decir que la diferencia entre los resultados de ambos laboratorios es significativa. Aun así, se mantuvieron interferencias irremediables fotométricamente, en las matrices de estudio. Se determinó que el sodio ocasiona una interferencia generadora de mayor intensidad en la emisión, que produce un error positivo en la concentración de calcio esperada. Por último, se confirmó la idoneidad del método para cuantificar calcio por fotometría de llama en otra matriz libre de sodio, y se obtuvieron resultados satisfactorios para el contenido de calcio.
Türk İslam Edebiyatı’nın Akademik Çehresi: Lisansüstü Çalışmalar (1965-2021)
Authors: SATAR Nesrin Aydın 
Published: June 2022

Türk İslam Edebiyatı, İlahiyat fakültelerinde kurumlaşan ve hem anabilim veya bilim
dalı hem de lisans programında yer alan bir ders olarak faaliyet gösteren alanın adıdır. Bu
alan, başlangıcını Türklerin İslamiyet’i kabullerinden sonra ilk yazılı eserlerini verdikleri
11. yüzyıldan alır ve yine Türklerin dinî-edebî üretimde bulunmaya devam ettikleri günümüze
kadar kaleme aldıkları dinî-edebî eserleri araştırma ve inceleme malzemesi edinir.
Alandaki ilk doktora çalışması 1965 yılında, ilk yüksek lisans çalışması ise 1984 yılında
tamamlanmıştır. Türk İslam Edebiyatı’nın akademik çehresi bu çalışmalarla şekillenmeye
başlanmış ve 56 yıllık geniş bir zaman diliminde gelişmiştir. Bu çalışma, 1965-2021
yılları arasında Türk İslam Edebiyatı alanında tamamlanan 301’i yüksek lisans ve 78’i
doktora olmak üzere toplam 379 tez incelemiştir. Dahası, bu çalışmada, alandaki lisansüstü
varlığı değerlendiren daha önceki araştırmalardan da bahsedilmiştir. Ayrıca, belli
değerlendirme ölçütlerine göre tasnif edilen lisansüstü tezlerin sağladığı niteliksel ve niceliksel
veriler kullanılarak alanın hâlihazırdaki portresinin anlaşılması hedeflenmiştir.
Böylelikle hem bir ilahiyat disiplini hem de genel Türk edebiyatı tasnifi içinde yer alan
bir alan olarak Türk İslam Edebiyatı’nın özellikle hangi akademik çalışma yöntemine ve
kronolojiye odaklandığı anlaşılmıştır.
