The effects of propofol on Doppler echocardiographic values of the aorta, main pulmonary artery, and mitral E wave in New Zealand white rabbits
(Chulalongkorn University Printing House, 2024) Çetinkaya, Mehmet Alper; Kaya, Mahir
The aim of this study was to determine the effects of propofol on acceleration time (AT), ejection time (ET), AT / ET ratio obtained from the aorta (Ao) and main pulmonary artery (MPA) and Doppler echocardiographic values of mitral E wave (E) in New Zealand white rabbits. Echocardiographic evaluation was performed in 40 conscious rabbits and repeated after propofol administration. The baseline mean values were 0.028±0.006 second (s) for Ao-AT, 0.116±0.017 s for Ao-ET, 0.24±0.036 for Ao-AT / ET, 0.05±0.01 s for MPA-AT, 0.137±0.018 s for MPA-ET, 0.38±0.037 s for MPA-AT/ET, 84.13±18.26 cm/s for E peak velocity, 3.06±1.38 mmHg for E peak pressure, 0.069±0.018 s for E duration, 0.046±0.015 s for E deceleration time (Edec)._After propofol administration, the decrease in velocity (P = 0.044, 90.76±14.39 vs. 83.04±12.24) and peak pressure gradient (P = 0.036, 3.47±1.01 vs. 2.98±0.77) of Ao wave, as well as left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) and fractional shortening (FS) was statistically significant (P < 0.001, 70.1±4.47 vs. 63.2±3.79, 37.85±3.74 vs. 32.15±2.43, respectively); AT was longer (P < 0.05) and AT/ET was increased (P < 0.001) in both Ao and MPA. Among Doppler echocardiographic parameters of the E wave, there was only a statistically significant difference for Edec (P = 0.008). In the presented study, while the effect of propofol is minimal on Edec, its effects on aortic and pulmonic AT/ET values, as well as EF and FS values, should be taken into consideration.
Extended goal programming approach for solving multi-objective de novo programming problems
(IGI Global, 2024) Umarusman, Nurullah
A new proposal has been made in this study to solve the multi-objective de novo programming problem using extended goal programming, which includes minmax and weighted goal programming. In the proposal, goal functions are created by fixing each objective function of the multi-objective de novo programming model to its own positive ideal solution. Additionally, the normalization constant is determined using positive and negative ideal solutions in the proposal. The proposed approach made it possible to determine the range in which "efficiency and equity" are balanced in the transition from max. efficiency to max. equity. The applicability of the proposed approach is demonstrated in an illustrative example, and considering the obtained results, the optimal point that represents both poles of the extended GP equally is obtained. Through this optimal point, the optimal feasible amount of each constraint is calculated from the extended goal programming perspective.
The role of sound on the future of E-commerce applications using metaverse technologies
(IGI Global, 2024) Ciaburro, Giuseppe; Kumcu, Elif Hasret
In recent years, the rapid development of Metaverse technologies has revolutionized the e-commerce landscape, introducing immersive and interactive experiences once considered futuristic. This article explores the role of sound in supporting e-commerce applications in the Metaverse. Often an overlooked component in virtual environments, sound plays a crucial role in creating a multi-sensory shopping experience that engages users on a deeper level. This research explores the various ways in which sound can be integrated into Metaverse-based e-commerce applications, including spatial audio, ambient soundscapes, and interactive auditory feedback. It examines how these auditory elements can have a significant impact on user engagement, emotional connection, and overall satisfaction with the virtual shopping experience. Finally, the paper analyses potential challenges and considerations related to the implementation of sound in Metaverse e-commerce applications, such as privacy and accessibility issues.
Embracing ethical excellence: the journey towards responsible marketing
(IGI Global, 2024) Kumcu, Elif Hasret
The chapter explores the evolution and growing importance of ethical marketing practices, emphasizing the need for corporations to adhere to responsible marketing standards in a rapidly changing landscape. It highlights the role of various organizations, such as NGOs and government agencies, in promoting ethical behavior by addressing exploitative practices and establishing guidelines to protect consumers. The chapter also discusses the critical role of technology in marketing, focusing on data privacy, cybersecurity, and the impact of social media. Case studies, such as Patagonia's sustainability efforts, demonstrate the practical implementation of responsible marketing. Through comprehensive education and communication, companies are urged to integrate ethical conduct into their operations, creating trust with stakeholders and contributing to a more inclusive, sustainable business environment. The chapter concludes by examining the challenges and opportunities in responsible marketing, offering insights into future trends in the industry.
Global perspectives on cheese tourism
(IGI Global, 2024) Taşkın, Grant Altay; Altaş, Aysu
Cheese tourism has emerged as a unique niche within the broader landscape of culinary tourism, inviting food enthusiasts to explore the diverse and rich traditions of cheese production around the world. Travelers are drawn to experiences that highlight local cheese-making practices, tastings, and cultural heritage. This global phenomenon celebrates the art of cheese while fostering an appreciation for regional agricultural practices, sustainability, and the stories behind each cheese variety. By examining global perspectives on cheese tourism, researchers may uncover ways in which this trend enriches cultural exchange, supports local economies, and enhances the travel experience through a deeper connection to food and place. Global Perspectives on Cheese Tourism explores the concept of cheese tourism from different perspectives. It examines the global perspectives of those in the cheese industry, guiding special interest tourists who want to travel within the scope of cheese tourism routes. This book covers topics such as global business, hospitality and tourism, and food science, and is a useful resource for business owners, marketers, tourism professionals, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
