Nüfus artışı ve teknolojik gelişmelere bağlı olarak ihtiyaçlar sürekli artmakta ve çeşitlenmektedir. Bu ihtiyaçları karşılamak üzere ulusal kaynakları yeterli olmayan ülkeler yabancı kaynaklara yönelerek ithalat yapmaktadırlar. Bununla birlikte ülkeler büyüme ve kalkınmalarını sağlamak ve ülke refahını artırmak için ihracat da yapmaktadırlar. Hatta bu üretimlerini doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımlarıyla farklı ülke sınırları içerisinde gerçekleştirerek daha uygun koşullarda üretim ve satış yapabilmektedirler. Tüm bu faaliyetler teknolojik gelişmelerinde etkisiyle her geçen zaman ekonomik, politik, sosyal ve kültürel olarak ülkeleri birbirine yaklaştırmaktadır. Bu süreç aslında çeşitli yaklaşımlarla farklı şekillerde tanımlanan küreselleşmeyi ifade etmektedir. Dış ticaret, küreselleşmenin gelişmesine ve yaygınlaşmasına önemli katkılar sağlarken, küreselleşme de dış ticaretin daha kolay ve etkin bir şekilde işlemesine katkı sağlamıştır. Kısacası dış ticaret ve küreselleşme bir etkileşim içinde birbirlerinin gelişmelerine katkı sağlamaktadırlar. Bu çalışmada da bu etkileşim, Türkiye’nin dış ticaret ve KOF Küreselleşme İndeksi değerleri kullanılarak analiz edilmiş ve “Basit ve Çoklu Korelasyon” ile “Basit Doğrusal ve İkili Polinomiyal Regresyon” analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda küreselleşme ile dış ticaret arasında yüksek ve önemli düzeyde bir ilişkinin olduğu belirlenmiştir.

This study aims to compare differential pulse voltammetry as a tracking method with chromatography and photometry. The three methods were used to track the degradation of the model compound hydrochlorothiazide (HCT) where 250ml of 0.50mM HCT solution (pH of 3.50 and ionic strength of 0.010M) was electrolyzed with 50.0mAmp constant current. The degradation process demonstrated great fit (R2 >0.99) with pseudo-first-order kinetics when the three tracking methods were utilized. However, different rate constants were reported for these methods: 0.032min-1, 0.016 min-1, and 0.0052min-1 for the chromatographic, photometric, and voltammetric techniques, respectively. The observed variation was attributed to the nature of the utilized probing methods. The differential pulse voltammetry is promising as an electrolytic decomposition tracking method; however, the working probe to target pollutants needs to be improved.

This study aimed to use a chemical coagulant to treat Olive Mill Wastewater (OMW) in such a way as to improve and expedite the process of precipitating the solid waste material present in the wastewater. This process is of extreme importance in harvesting the solid material that can be used as domestic or industrial fuel material and as a supplement to animal feed. The chemical coagulant used in this study was calcium carbonate (CaCO3). The effect of the addition of this coagulant on some physical properties of olive mill wastewater (OMW) such as pH, electrical conductance (EC), the precipitated amount of the total suspended solids (TSS), and the higher heating value (HHV) of the precipitated solids was studied. It was found that small amounts of CaCO3 need to be added to affect the operation. The study results showed that the optimum value to be used was around three wt/wt %.

Jordanian sand deposits are naturally available in enormous amounts, located in Sweileh area, West Amman, which are mainly composed of low costs constituents from silica, Kaolin Clay, and metal oxides. A novel and simple methodology is presented for preparation, characterization, and behavior assessment of the potential nano-Kaolinite/ Silica oxides composites (nKSOC), for the immobilization of heavy Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions from aqueous solutions’ discharges. In this study, the synthesis of nKSOC composites was conducted from the Jordanian sand deposits, mechanically reduced in size and then chemically acid-activated at room temperature, for the scope of wastewater purification through adsorption of heavy Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions from an aqueous medium. The synthesized nKSOC were subjected to analytical techniques; X-ray diffraction (XRD) and size reduction, to deduce their appropriate characterizations. Key parameters, considered for the enhancement of the adsorption technique, were pH, initial metal ions concentration, contact time, sorbent's dosage, and temperature. Experimental data were analyzed by Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models, for the prediction of the adsorption behavior. Langmuir isotherms reproduce the experimental data with a maximum adsorption capacity of 172.4 (mg/gadsorbent) and 158.7 (mg/gadsorbent) for Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions, respectively, under unchangeable conditions of the constant temperature of 303K and slightly acidic pH in the range of 5.5 - 6. The adsorption of heavy metal ions was spontaneous and endothermic; (∆Ho) (7.47 kJ/mol) and 7.87 (kJ/mol) for Pb(II) and Cd(II) ions, respectively, and with negative Gibbs free energy (∆Go), the adsorption process is performed under mild conditions. In virtue of these remarkable findings, nKSOC could be effectively used as a low-prized adsorbent to uptake heavy Pb(II) and Cd (II) metals from aqueous waste media.

Disposal of poultry sludge is one of the great challenges facing cities because of very strict requirements for landfilling and the scarcity of space for landfills. The present study was therefore aimed at evaluating the physical and chemical properties of poultry sludge and its suitability for reuse in agricultural and non-agricultural applications. Three samples were collected from sludge at the wastewater treatment plant of Al-Thuraya slaughterhouse in Al-Mafraq District, Jordan. The physical and biochemical properties of these samples were analyzed. Also, elemental composition and heat value were determined. The results indicated that poultry sludge had a slightly alkaline pH and a total moisture content of 20%, as well as an average total solid of 80%. The dry solid sludge had a volatile solid content of 94.9% and 5.1% of ash. Also, dry sludge had a high protein content (62 %) followed by carbohydrate (20%) and fiber (17%), with fat being around 1%. The major elements in the sludge were carbon (65.5%) followed by nitrogen (16%), phosphorous (5 %) and sulfur (2%). Heavy metal concentrations in dry sludge ranged from 0.01 to 2 mg/kg. These heavy metal concentrations were well below the safe limits recommended by legislators for sludge used as a fertilizer. The findings from this study revealed that dry poultry sludge offers a wide range of potential uses as fertilizer, animal feed and a source of energy, and it should be considered as a potentially valuable and sustainable resource rather than a waste product.

Premature birth is an important cause of neonatal mortality and neonatal morbidity. Most premature births are known to be induced by cytokines released for different reasons. Inadequate congenital immune response in premature infants may contribute to increased susceptibility to infection. The aim of the study is to determine the IL-1β, TLR4, PGE2, and TAC profiles in cord blood with characteristics specific to pregnancy and the correlation with neonatal complications caused by premature birth. The study included 26 neonates, 11 girls and 15 boys, born from 24-42 weeks of gestation. Of these, 13 were term and 13 were preterm . For IL-β, PG-E2, TLR4 and TAC levels, 1 mL of cord blood sample was taken from preterm and term neonates. Data related to demographic data, clinical status of patients and outcomes were obtained from electronic medical records and files. Cytokine values obtained from premature neonates were statistically high in terms of TLR4, IL1 and PGE2 compared to term infants. The TRL4 and IL1 values for premature infants with necrotizing enterocolitis and retinopathy of prematurity were lower compared to those without NEC and ROP. In spite of negative correlations between TAC and the other three cytokines, a statistically significant correlation was not identified. TLR4, IL1 and PGE2 were negatively correlated with weight and gestational week, contrarily TAC measurements were positively correlated with weight and gestational week. Measurements of cytokine concentrations in cord blood are among important biomarkers showing degree of inflammation and may assist in predicting neonatal complications and play an effective role in development of specific treatments.

The Enhanced Recovery after Surgery (ERAS) protocol is a multimodal and evidence-based medical practice developed to define the concept of perioperative interventions to improve postoperative outcomes. The protocol consists of a number of elements implemented in the pre-, intra - and post-operative periods. This study aimed to evaluate the compliance of perioperative practices with the ERAS protocols in patients undergoing surgical intervention. In this descriptive and prospective study, 405 patients who underwent surgery in the General Surgery Clinic of a University Hospital created a sample of the study. In the study, where no intervention was made to the patients included in the study, the compliance of routine perioperative practices in the clinic offered to patients undergoing surgery to the protocol was evaluated using the questionnaire prepared in this direction. Procedures such as, in the preoperative period, providing verbal information to all the patients and giving antibiotic prophylaxis to 98.5% of the patients, in the intraoperative period, preferring the smallest possible surgical incision, and, in the postoperative period, using the paracetamol (99.5%) as the first choice for analgesia were compatible with the ERAS protocols. Procedures such as, in the preoperative period, not providing oral carbohydrate to any of the patients and keeping the fasting period longer period (10.91 ± 4.79 hours), in the intraoperative period, preferring anesthetic agents that are effective for a long time, and not perform the necessary practices to ensure normothermia in any of the patients, and, in the postoperative period, not starting the oral nutrition early and using urinary catheterization for 87.7% of the patients were not compatible with the ERAS protocols. As a result of the research, it was determined that the routine perioperative applications in the clinic did not sufficiently comply with the ERAS protocol.

As a result of the research, it was determined that the routine perioperative applications in the clinic did not sufficiently comply with the ERAS protocol.","PeriodicalId":23539,"journal":{"name":"Volume 1, Issue 3","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84609091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical, life-saving skill for healthcare professionals (HCPs) in emergency departments (EDs) and other health care settings and are expected to have a profound knowledge of the CPR guidelines. A cross-sectional study was carried out among 160 health care providers to assess the level of knowledge and attitude towards cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Data analysis were done by SPSS software version-20. Total respondents in the study were 160 health care providers (HCP) and among them 80 respondents were doctors and 80 respondents were nurses. Among the respondents, 69% were female and 31% were male. Regarding the CPR training, 51% doctors and 49% had trained in CPR. Regarding performing the CPR, 58% doctors performed CPR and 66.2% nurses had performed CPR in clinical practice. Regarding meaning of the CPR, majority (92%) respondents knew correctly as ventilation and chest compression. More than half 58% respondents correctly knew about cardiac massage as to apply strong compression to the chest wall in certain interval. Regarding component of the CPR, nearly two third (65%) respondents correctly knew as chest compression and ventilation. Regarding sequence of the CPR,71 % respondents incorrectly knew sequence of CPR as Airway-Breathing-Compression (A-B-C) and 29.38% correctly knew as Compression-Airway-Breathing (C-A-B) as the sequence of the CPR. Among the total respondents, 62.5 % respondents had average level of knowledge, 18.12% had good level and 19.38% had poor level of knowledge on CPR and CPR training were associated significantly with the CPR knowledge. Among the total respondents 70.62% had neutral attitude, 15.0% had positive and 14.38% had negative attitude to perform CPR. Doctors were more knowledgeable than nurses, and they also had more positive opinions on CPR than nurses. The study showed that CPR training was taken by both health care providers. The study also showed that nurses (53%) performed the CPR more than the doctors in clinical practice. The dissimilarity in knowledge and attitudes among the health care providers suggest that training courses on the CPR should be regularly provided to health care providers specially focusing on nurses in the country.
