Historical Trauma, Queer Sex, and Physical Touch in Barbara Hammer’s Nitrate Kisses
Authors: Lallouz Rachel 
Published: March 2022

For lesbian-feminist filmmaker Barbara Hammer, “making up” lost queer history in the absence of conventional archives is a material and embodied process seen in her experimental documentary Nitrate Kisses (1992). This film centres around different queer couples portraying various erotic, physical and sexual acts. Each of these acts are aligned with voice-over interviews and visual archival ephemera detailing particular historical traumas, including the AIDS crisis and the erasure of lesbian experiences from life narratives of Holocaust survivors. I argue that the body and various erotic acts in Nitrate Kisses become sites of consciousness and cognition employed in the recovery of traumatic memory. As I explore, it is physical touch—sexual and erotic touch in particular—that acts as a conduit for accessing lost or purposefully invisibilized archival knowledge. Employing Elizabeth Freeman’s erotohistoriography, I argue that sex and other forms of physical touch in Hammer’s film become a method of remembering historical injustices, making them visible through an embodied queer-feminist archival practice in order for the viewer to bear witness to trauma that has shaped queer cultural memory.

Authors: KOCABAŞ Beyza Nur , DOĞAN İnci 
Published: March 2022

Ülkemizin elverişli iklim koşulları birçok gıdanın kurutularak muhafazasına olanak sağlamaktadır. Kurutulmuş gıdalar uzun süre bozulmadan korunabilmektedir. Depolama süresince küf ve bakteri oluşumunun ve muhtemel kalite kayıplarının önlenmesi ürünlerin nem oranının kritik değerin altına düşürülmesiyle mümkündür. Kahramanmaraş tarhanası yöreye özgü olup yüzyıllardır çorbalık ve atıştırmalık olarak tüketilen fermente kurutulmuş bir gıdadır. Geleneksel üretiminde güneşte kurutma kullanılmakta olup son yıllarda endüstriyel üretimi de giderek artan ilgi görmektedir. Yaz aylarında kurutulan tarhana kışın tüketilmek üzere depolanmaktadır. Depolamadaki olumsuzluklar tarhanada istenmeyen fiziksel, kimyasal, mikrobiyel ve duyusal kalite kayıplarına yol açmaktadır. Kurutulmuş tarhananın kalite parametrelerinin belirlenmesinde sorpsiyon izotermlerinden faydalanılmaktadır. Sorpsiyon izotermleri sabit sıcaklıkta tutulan gıdanın nem içeriği ile depo ortamının bağıl nemi arasındaki ilişkiyi açıklamaktadır. Sorpsiyon izotermleri su ve gıda bileşenleri arasındaki etkileşimin ve optimum depolama koşullarının tahmin edilmesinde önemli bir termodinamik yardımcıdır.
Bu açıdan çalışmanın amacı sorpsiyon izotermlerinin gıdalar ve Kahramanmaraş tarhanası üzerindeki önemi ve sorpsiyon izotermlerinin oluşturulmasında esas alınan matematiksel modeller hakkında literatürdeki son çalışmalar ışığında bilgiler verilmesidir.
Comparison of postoperative analgesic effectiveness of caudal block, dorsal penile nerve block, and pudendal nerve block in children undergoing circumcision
Authors: ÇEVİKKALP Eralp , BAYTAR Çağdaş 
Published: March 2022

Purpose: This study aimed at comparing the postoperative analgesic effectiveness of three types of nerve blocks (caudal block, dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB), and pudendal nerve block (PNB) in children undergoing circumcision.
Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, patient records of those who underwent circumcision during an 18-month period were included in this study. Data collected included demographics, intraoperative hemodynamic parameters, nerve block application time, rescue analgesic time, duration of anesthesia and surgery, recovery time, and postoperative complications. Postoperative pain was evaluated using the Face, Legs, Activity, Cry, Consolability (FLACC) pain scale.
Results: A total of 216 male patients, aged 2-12 years, were included in this study. The majority received DPNB (n= 78), followed by caudal block (n= 72) and PNB (n= 66). The FLACC pain scores were significantly higher in the DPNB group. Rescue analgesics were required by 49 patients, all of whom were in the DPNB group. Postoperative complications were more frequently observed among those with the caudal block, compared to DPNB and PNB.
Conclusion: Caudal and pudendal nerve block had the highest effectiveness in terms of postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing circumcision. The decision of choosing between them should take into account the experience of the practitioner, as well as side effects.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of level of income and occupational factors on mental health during the COVID-19 lockdown in Turkey.
Materials and Methods: The study has a cross-sectional, descriptive design and 768 participants were included. The data were collected via an electronic survey by sharing the link in social media groups. Monthly household income (MHI) and occupational characteristics of the participants were investigated during COVID-19 lockdown. Psychological measurements were performed via PHQ-4 and Fear of COVID-19 scales.
Results: Regarding MHI; participants with a MHI of €299 or less had significantly higher levels of anxiety and depression compared to those with a MHI of €1000 or higher. Regarding occupational groups; the unemployed and students had higher anxiety and depression levels compared to housewives/retired individuals, business owners, government officials and health workers. It was determined that partial remote work and working at the workplace were protective against anxiety and depression, respectively.
Conclusion: Conditions such as unemployment, low level of income and the decreased social interaction related to working style were found to be associated with higher depression and anxiety levels during the pandemic.

Authors: BABACAN Serdar , DENİZ Mustafa 
Published: March 2022

Purpose: The harmony of the morphometric features of the proximal and distal parts of the femur is very important in terms of biomechanical function. The aim of the study is to examine the correlation between the proximal and distal parts of the femur and to produce regression formulas for implant design with morphometric properties in harmony.
Materials and Methods: The study was carried out on 33 dry femurs in the bone collection of Harran University Faculty of Medicine, Department of Anatomy. Four parameters related to femur length and segments, sixteen parameters related to proximal femur and sixteen parameters related to distal femur were measured. Statistically, descriptive statistics, correlation and linear regression analyzes were made.
Results: Entire femur length was 400.27 ± 39.15 mm, diameter of femur neck was 32.82 ± 3.37 mm, inclination angle was 134.11 ± 6.25, declination angle was 17.28 ± 7.53, transcondylar axis length was 78.37 ± 5.49 mm, medial posterior condyle width was 27.83 ± 2.37 mm, lateral posterior condyle width was 26.77 ± 1.54 mm, intercondylar notch width was 18.61 ± 2.67 mm, and intercondylar notch depth was 23.23 ± 5.22 mm found.
Conclusion: We believe that the data we have obtained will benefit orthopedists and implant manufacturers on the issue of that the parts of the femur should be in harmony for biomechanical function and this compatibility should be taken into account when designing the implant, and also forensic scientists and anthropologists in identification.

Authors: OZMEN Rifat , DEĞER Necla , KARABULUT Derya 
Published: March 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate histologically and immunohistochemically the cytoprotective effects of thymoquinone (THQ) against isoproterenol (ISO)-induced aortic tissue damage.
Materials and Methods: Rats were divided into four groups (n=8). Control group (Control); were untreated rats, Thymoquinone group (THQ); 20 mg / kg intragastrically (ig) THQ at 24 hour intervals for 8 days, Isoproterenol group (ISO); on the 7th and 8th day of the experiment, 100 mg/kg subcutaneous (sc) ISO (dissolved in 1 ml sterile distilled water) was given at 24 hour intervals. Thymoquinone + Isoproterenol group (THQ+ISO); THQ was administered ig at 20 mg/kg for 8 days, and 100 mg/kg ISO was administered on day 7 and day 8 of the experiment. Aortic tissues and blood were collected from rats. Tissues were stained by hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemically by interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-17 (IL-17). TNF-α, ELISA was examined in blood sera.
Results: Aortic wall thickness was found to be increased in the ISO group compared to the control and THQ groups. In addition, IL-6 and IL-17 immunoreactivity increased in this group. IL-17 height was statistically significant. THQ corrected both the increase in wall thickness and the expression levels of IL-6 and IL-17. TNF-α was found to be decreased in the ISO group, but no statistically significant difference was observed between the groups.
Conclusion: THQ serves as a cytoprotective agent
Evaluation of the effect of glyphosate on glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase enzyme activity in vitro conditions
Authors: KARTLAŞMIŞ Kezban , DİKMEN Nurten 
Published: March 2022

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro effect of glyphosate on Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) enzyme activity.
Materials and Methods: In terms of G6PD enzyme deficiency, samples taken from healthy and enzyme deficient male individuals were studied. After the hemolysates were prepared from blood sample, G6PD enyzme activities were determined by the modified Beutler method. Then, the effects of different concentrations (5.3x10-3, 5.3x10-4, 5.3x10-5, 5.3x10-6 mmol/mL) of glyphosate on G6PD activity were evaluated in normal and mutant enzymes. In addition, the in vitro effect of the antioxidant N-acetylcysteine (NAC) on the enzyme was investigated in the presence of glyphosate and without glyphosate.
Results: While the result of normal erythrocyte G6PD activity was 12U/g for the individual, the result for the individual with enzyme deficiency was 2.5U/g Hb. The glyphosate’s maximum activity loss in the G6PD enzyme was observed in the 60th minute incubation. The highest inhibition was observed at 5.3x10-3 mmol/mL glyphosate. 4.7x10-7 mmol/mL N-Acetylcysteine partially increased the inhibition of glyphosate in the G6PD enzyme in healthy individuals, but had no effect on mutant G6PD.
Conclusion: In humans, it is predicted that glyphosate affects G6PD enzyme activity in vitro and is an interference agent in the experimental process. In case of contamination, studies on limits of glyphosate that will not cause harmful effects in humans should be continued.
‘A Serious Man Versus Nature Moment:’ Aquatic Monsters, Deep Time, and Climate Change
Authors: Fuchs Michael 
Published: March 2022

ABSTRACTThis article suggests that the megalodons, American alligators, and bull sharks featured in The Meg (2018), Crawl (2019), and Deep Blue Sea 3 (2020) expand the temporal scope of the narratives to geological time. In so doing, these films not only expose the incongruity of geological with historical time but also grapple with the representational dilemma of conveying slow‐moving disasters that unfold in a nonhuman temporal order.

Published: March 2022

Background: Poor soil fertility is a yield limiting factor in cotton production for realizing higher seed cotton yield. Chemical fertilizers are an important input to get higher crop productivity, but over reliance on chemical fertilizers is associated with declines in some soil properties and crop yields over time and causes serious problems, such as soil degradation. Therefore, an integrated use of inorganic fertilizers with organic manures is a sustainable approach for efficient nutrient usage which enhances efficiency of the chemical fertilizers while reducing nutrient losses. Methods: A field experiment was conducted in the Agricultural Research Station, Kovilpatti under dryland situation to evaluate the effect of organic and inorganic nutrients on crop yield, quality and soil fertility status in rainfed Bt cotton. Different crop residues viz., sunflower, pulse haulm, sorghum and cotton residues were collected and composted using TNAU biomineralizer and applied to the experimental trial. Result: It was observed that the application of recommended dose of fertilizer (RDF) (120:60:60 N:P:K kg/ha) along with vermicompost @ 2.5 t/ha registered the higher seed cotton yield (1600 kg/ha), dry matter production (2444 kg/ha, net income (Rs.11168 ha-1), B:C ratio (1.40) and rain water use efficiency (2.02 kg ha-1 mm) and also increased the plant nutrient uptake. Integrated application of organic and inorganic plant nutrients increased the soil available nutrients in the deep clay soil and sustain the productivity of seed cotton yield in semiarid region of southern district.
Moringa leaf (Moringa oleifera L) flavonoids utilization in suppressing growth of Aedes aegypti larvae
Authors: Ati Vinsensius Manek 
Published: March 2022

The study was conducted to determine the potential use of Moringa leaf flavonoids as biolarvicides in suppressing the growth of Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae. The design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) with six flavonoid treatments including P0 (0 ppm flavonoids as a negative control), P1 (12.5 ppm flavonoids), P2 (25 ppm flavonoids), P3 (50 ppm flavonoids), P4 ( flavonoids 75 ppm), and P5 (flavonoids 100 ppm). Each treatment was repeated three times. The results of the analysis of diversity (Anova) revealed that Moringa leaf flavonoids had a very significant effect (P = 0.000) on the mortality of A. aegypti mosquito larvae. The administration of 50 ppm flavonoids of Moringa leaf extract caused the mortality of A. aegypti larvae to reach 95%, and at a concentration of 75 ppm, it increased the mortality percentage to 100%. The results of the probit analysis showed that the lethal concentration 50 (LC50) was achieved at a concentration of 7.96 ppm with exposure for 24 hours, while the lethal concentration-time 50 (LT50) at a concentration of 75 ppm was achieved in a shorter time (2.08 hours).

Published: March 2022

Case:
A healthy adolescent male patient initially presented with complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) after a plant-twist injury during a high school football game. Four weeks after ACL reconstruction with autograft bone-patella tendon-bone, the patient slipped and fell, sustaining hyperflexion of the knee, resulting in rupture of the ipsilateral quadriceps tendon.

Conclusion:
Although this rare complication has previously been reported in the adult population, to the best of our knowledge, this is the first known report of an adolescent patient sustaining a quadriceps tendon rupture after ACL reconstruction.
External validation of the Hospital Frailty Risk Score among older adults receiving mechanical ventilation
Authors: Sy Eric , Kassir Sandy , Mailman Jonathan F , Sy Sarah Lauren 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
Purpose:To externally validate the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) to predict clinical outcomes in critically ill patients.Methods:We selected index hospitalizations of older adults (≥75 years old) receiving mechanical ventilation, using the United States Nationwide Readmissions Database (NRD) from January 1, 2016, to November 30, 2018. Frailty risk was determined by the HFRS using International Classification of Diseases, Tenth Revision Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) codes, and further subcategorized into low-risk (score <5), intermediate-risk (score 5-15), and high-risk (score >15) for frailty. We evaluated the HFRS to predict prolonged hospitalization, in-hospital mortality, and 30-day emergency hospital readmissions, using multivariable logistic regression, after adjustment for patient and hospital characteristics. Model performance was assessed using the c-statistic, Brier score, and calibration plots.Results:Among the 649,330 weighted index hospitalizations in the cohort, 50.0% were female, the median (interquartile range [IQR]) age was 81 (78-86) years old, and the median (IQR) HFRS was 10.8 (7.7-14.5). Among the cohort, 9.5%, 68.3%, and 22.2% were subcategorized as low-, intermediate-, and high-risk for frailty, respectively. After adjustment, high-risk patient hospitalizations were associated with increased risks of prolonged hospitalization (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 5.59 [95% confidence interval [CI] 5.24-5.97], c-statistic 0.694, Brier score 0.216) and 30-day emergency hospital readmissions (aOR 1.20 [95% CI 1.13-1.27], c-statistic 0.595, Brier score 0.162), compared to low-risk hospitalizations. Conversely, high-risk hospitalizations were inversely associated with in-hospital mortality (aOR 0.46 [95% CI 0.45-0.48], c-statistic 0.712, Brier score 0.214). Calibration plots demonstrated good calibration for the adjusted analyses.Conclusions:In this external validation study, the HFRS was not successfully validated in the NRD to predict in-hospital mortality in critically ill older adults receiving mechanical ventilation. While the HFRS may predict prolonged hospitalization and 30-day readmission, its use should be avoided in the critically ill.

Authors: Sri Vimal , Jenkinson Crispin , Peters Michele 
Published: March 2022

Abstract
INTRODUCTION:Informal carers support persons with dementia to live at home, even with deteriorating physical and cognitive issues. The purpose of this explanatory sequential mixed methods study is to examine the experiences and impact of Assistive Technology (AT) on carers, providing care for a person with dementia. METHODS:The quantitative phase was a survey carried out with carers of persons with dementia in the UK, who used AT. The qualitative phase involved in-depth telephone interviews with a purposive sample of survey respondents. Data was analysed using hermeneutic phenomenology to develop, compare and explain the findings of the survey. RESULTS:The survey included data from 201 carers. Smartphones and tablet computers were the most frequently used AT. Multiple AT were used in the care of persons with dementia predominantly for safety, communication, and reminders. The Short Form-12 questions in the survey showed that carers in the 46-65 age group and carers who were not extremely satisfied with AT had lower mental component scores and carers who lived with the person with dementia and older carers had lower physical component scores. Twenty-three carers participated in the interviews, and 5 themes with 14 sub-themes were identified. The interviews helped confirm data from the survey on the impact of AT on the physical, mental and social wellbeing of the carers. It helped describe reasons for satisfaction with AT; how AT was used in daily life and strengthened caring relationships and how wider support systems enhanced the care of a person with dementia using AT. CONCLUSIONS: This study describes the use of AT in the real-world context. AT supplements the care provided to a person with dementia in the community. Appropriate use, access to AT and abilities of the carer can enhance the support provided through AT to both carers and the person with dementia.
