Effect of ascent protocol on acute mountain sickness and success at Muztagh Ata, 7546 m. High Alt. Med. Biol. 10:25-32, 2009.-Data on acclimatization during expedition-style climbing to > 5000 m are scant. We evaluated the hypothesis that minor differences in ascent protocol influence acute mountain sickness (AMS) symptoms and mountaineering success in climbers to Muztagh Ata (7546 m), Western China. We performed a randomized, controlled trial during a high altitude medical research expedition to Muztagh Ata. Thirty-four healthy mountaineers (mean age 45 yr, 7 women) were randomized to follow one of two protocols, ascending within 15 or 19 days to the summit of Muztagh Ata at 7546 m, respectively. The main outcome measures, AMS symptom scores and the number of proceeding climbers, were assessed daily. Mean +/- SD AMS-C scores of 16 climbers randomized to slow ascent were 0.06 +/- 0.18, 0.26 +/- 0.08, 0.41 +/- 0.45, 0.53 +/- 0.77 at camps I (5533 m), II (6265 m), III (6865 m), and the summit (7546 m), respectively. Corresponding values in 18 climbers randomized to fast ascent were significantly higher: 0.17 +/- 0.23, 0.43 +/- 0.75, 0.49 +/- 0.36, and 0.69 +/- 0.54 (p < 0.008, vs. slow ascent in regression analysis accounting for weather-related protocol deviation). Climbers randomized to slow ascent were able to ascend according to the protocol without AMS for significantly more days than climbers randomized to fast ascent (p = 0.04, Kaplan-Meier analysis). More climbers randomized to slow ascent were successful in reaching the highest camp at 6865 m without AMS (odds ratio 9.5; 95% confidence interval 1.02 to 89). In climbers ascending to very high altitudes, differences of a few days in acclimatization have a significant impact on symptom severity, the prevalence of AMS, and mountaineering success.

This activity takes place from February 1 2024 to March 31 2024. The main aim of KKN-T activities is to provide experience and learning to students to explore village potentials that can be developed by the community. Methods for implementing KKN-T at locations include site surveys and planning additional activities apart from the core activities that have been planned. Additional activities receive support from local government and village communities. There are also explanations about village activities such as helping karang taruna, socialization regarding the use of household waste by applying biopori to use home gardens, socialization about balanced nutrition to prevent stunting in pregnant women and toddlers, posyandu activities, and activities in the month of Ramadhan. Apart from that, there are other activities involving teenagers and school children, such as teaching the Koran at the mosque, healthy exercise in the community, and community service to keep the environment clean. “Alma Ata University’s KKN-T activities aim to provide benefits to village communities, especially in creating peace and improving family health and optimizing regional potential through digital literacy.†Alma University KKN-T students play a role in building and developing the potential that exists in village communities through active participation in various village activities and making real contributions. Keywords: role; kkn; dedicatio

OKUBAP-2015-PT2-004Thin films of undoped ZnO, Al-doped ZnO, Cu-doped ZnO, and AlCu@ZnO deposited on
indium tin oxide were performed by the sol-gel spin coating method. The prepared ZnO
thin films were investigated for their structural and electrical properties after annealing at
500 C for 1 h. ZnO thin films were characterized by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy,
linear sweep voltammetry, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform
infrared spectroscopy and Mott Schottky. According to the results obtained from the
Nyquist diagrams of the ZnO thin films, the resistance value was found to decrease with
binary doping and the resistance value was found to be lowest in AlCu@ZnO doped thin
film containing 0.01 M Al and 0.1 M Cu. As ZnO thin films go to cathodic potentials, it is
seen that the cathodic current value of ZnO with undoped is the lowest. It has been found
that only Al and Cu doping showed less cathodic current than double doping

Nocturnal periodic breathing during acclimatization at very high altitude at Mount Muztagh Ata (7,546 m)
No full textRATIONALE: Quantitative data on ventilation during acclimatization at very high altitude are scant. Therefore, we monitored nocturnal ventilation and oxygen saturation in mountaineers ascending Mt. Muztagh Ata (7,546 m).
OBJECTIVES: To investigate whether periodic breathing persists during prolonged stay at very high altitude.
METHODS: A total of 34 mountaineers (median age, 46 yr; 7 women) climbed from 3,750 m within 19-20 days to the summit at 7,546 m. During ascent, repeated nocturnal recordings of calibrated respiratory inductive plethysmography, pulse oximetry, and scores of acute mountain sickness were obtained.
MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Nocturnal oxygen saturation decreased, whereas minute ventilation and the number of periodic breathing cycles increased with increasing altitude. At the highest camp (6,850 m), median nocturnal oxygen saturation, minute ventilation, and the number of periodic breathing cycles were 64%, 11.3 L/min, and 132.3 cycles/h. Repeated recordings within 5-8 days at 4,497 m and 5,533 m, respectively, revealed increased oxygen saturation, but no decrease in periodic breathing. The number of periodic breathing cycles was positively correlated with days of acclimatization, even when controlled for altitude, oxygen saturation, and other potential confounders, whereas symptoms of acute mountain sickness had no independent effect on periodic breathing.
CONCLUSIONS: Our field study provides novel data on nocturnal oxygen saturation, breathing patterns, and ventilation at very high altitude. It demonstrates that periodic breathing increases during acclimatization over 2 weeks at altitudes greater than 3,730 m, despite improved oxygen saturation consistent with a progressive increase in loop gain of the respiratory control system.

Corporate Entrepreneurship and Strategy Process: A Performance Based Research on Istanbul Market
No full textIn this study, corporate entrepreneurship which is one of the most important factors of sustainable development process is investigated in the context of strategy process. Corporate entrepreneurship is related with the habits of the company about decision making processes. The decentralization of this process builds an organic structure which the workers can take initiative. This will spread the entrepreneurship process from business owners or leaders to the whole company. The effect of corporate entrepreneurship and different strategy processes on abstract and concrete performance is also examined in this study. The universe of this work is the industrial enterprises of Istanbul which are members of Istanbul Chamber of Industry. The type of the research is hypothetic research. Data collection method is survey. Sample selection method is coincidental

Il suffisso -ata denominale: dall’italiano antico all’italiano di oggi
No full textThe Italian suffix -ata (as well as the corresponding suffixes in other Romance languages) has been extensively studied. However, the abundant literature available has taken into consideration from a diachronic point of view mainly deverbal -ata. The derivatives formed with denominal -ata, which present a great variety of derivational meanings connected to each other, have been studied above all in synchrony.
The paper, which uses both lexicographical sources and electronic corpora, presents the historical evolution of the formation of denominals in -ata, from old Italian to the most recent neologisms; starting from the types already identified for contemporary Italian, derivatives are classified according to their derivational meaning. For each type we first illustrate its presence in contemporary Italian, then we examine its evolution in diachrony, and finally a quick comparison is proposed with Catalan, French, Portuguese and Spanish.
The analysis of denominal derivatives in -ata in contemporary Italian confirms the productivity of the suffix, while from the historical point of view it is noted that almost all the derivational meanings were already documented in old Italian. However, the derivatives indicating ‘typical act of N’ and ‘event connected to N’, which are among the most productive nowadays, do not appear before the 16th century. Furthermore, we have identified a group of derivatives that designate literary or artistic genres and forms of entertainment, which can be considered at the intersection of these two types
