Species list of Amphibians and Reptiles from Turkey

Turkey is biogeographically diverse and consequently has a rich herpetofauna. As a result of active herpetological research, the number of species has steadily increased in recent years. I present here a new checklist of amphibian and reptile species distributed in Turkey, revising the nomenclature to reflect the latest taxonomic knowledge. In addition, information about the systematics of many species is also given. In total 35 (19.4%) amphibian and 145 (80.6%) reptile species comprise the Turkish herpetofauna. Among amphibians, 16 (45.7%) anurans and 19 urodelans (54.3%) are present. Among reptiles, 11 (7.6%) testudines, 71 (49%) saurians, 3 (2.1%) amphisbaenians and 60 (41.3%) ophidians are considered part of the herpetofauna. The endemism rate in Turkey is considered relatively high with a total of 34 species (12 amphibian species – 34.3% and 22 reptile species – 15.2%) endemic to Turkey, yielding a total herpetofaunal endemism of 18.9%. While 38 species have not been threat-assessed by the IUCN, 92 of the 180 Turkish herpetofaunal species are of Least Concern (LC), 13 are Near Threatened (NT), 10 are Vulnerable (VU), 14 are Endangered (EN), and 7 are Critically Endangered (CR). In addition, 6 species are in the DD (Data Deficient) category.
Does Influence Career Maturity?

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of volunteer engagement and self-efficacy on the career maturity of young leaders who were members of the Supreme Student Council in a Malaysian university. A cross-sectional study was conducted with data collected via a questionnaire survey. There were 400 respondents, of whom 143 were males and 257 females between the ages of 20 and 25 (M age = 22.8, SD = 5.65). The research instrument was a self-administered questionnaire covering volunteer engagement, self-efficacy and career maturity. This study found that the level of volunteer engagement was high (M=4.25, SD=0.42 on a scale of 5). The level of selfefficacy among young leaders was similarly high (M=4.19, SD=0.52), whereas the level for career maturity was moderate ((M=3.41, SD=0.53). A positive relationship was found to exist between volunteering engagement and career maturity (r =.277, p = .001) while the second relationship was between self-efficacy and career maturity (r=.311, p=.001). Both volunteer engagement (β=0.151, p<0.05) and self-efficacy (β=0.228, p<0.05) had significant independent effects on the level of career maturity. Volunteer engagement and self-efficacy together explained 11% of the variance in career maturity among the young leaders.
Incidence and Clinical Profiles of COVID-19 In Patients with Gynecological Surgery. A Single Center Descriptive Study from Spain

Background: The inflammatory reaction after a surgical intervention could exacerbate the course of the COVID-19. We aim to determine the rate of COVID-19 and its complications among gynecological surgeries in the context of different measures taken during the pandemic period in our department. Methods: A retrospective longitudinal observational study was conducted. Clinical records of patients who underwent gynecological surgery from March 1st to April 10th, 2020 were reviewed. During this period, three different approaches were made: first phase, without any screening or surgical restrictions; second phase, with presurgical epidemiological screening using a specific questionnaire; and third phase, also with presurgical SARS-COV-19 RT-PCR. During the second and third phases the surgical activity and complexity were restricted, and different workflows were established for patient with suspected/confirmed infection. After hospital discharge, telephone follow-up was performed and screening for COVID-19 was carried out. Complications from the disease were analyzed. Results: Of the 118 patients that underwent gynecological surgeries, 10 (8.5%) were perioperatively diagnosed with COVID-19. Of these patients, 8 (80%) were not pre-surgical screened for SARS-CoV-2 infection, neither clinical nor with RT-PCR. The other 2 (20%) were preoperative screened with RT-PCR, one of them with a positive test result. Screening false negative rate was 0.8%. No postoperative complications derived from COVID-19 were observed. Conclusions: The establishment of different surgical workflows, the reduction of surgical complexity, and the use of a pre-surgical screening to detect patient at SARS-CoV-2 infection risk, could reduce the postoperative complications derived from that infection and improve surgical outcomes.
Design of a Real-Time Human-Robot Collaboration System Using Dynamic Gestures

With the development of industrial automation and artificial intelligence, robotic systems are developing into an essential part of factory production, and the human-robot collaboration (HRC) becomes a new trend in the industrial field. In our previous work, ten dynamic gestures have been designed for communication between a human worker and a robot in manufacturing scenarios, and a dynamic gesture recognition model based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) has been developed. Based on the model, this study aims to design and develop a new real-time HRC system based on multi-threading method and the CNN. This system enables the real-time interaction between a human worker and a robotic arm based on dynamic gestures. Firstly, a multi-threading architecture is constructed for high-speed operation and fast response while schedule more than one task at the same time. Next, A real-time dynamic gesture recognition algorithm is developed, where a human worker’s behavior and motion are continuously monitored and captured, and motion history images (MHIs) are generated in real-time. The generation of the MHIs and their identification using the classification model are synchronously accomplished. If a designated dynamic gesture is detected, it is immediately transmitted to the robotic arm to conduct a real-time response. A Graphic User Interface (GUI) for the integration of the proposed HRC system is developed for the visualization of the real-time motion history and classification results of the gesture identification. A series of actual collaboration experiments are carried out between a human worker and a six-degree-of-freedom (6 DOF) Comau industrial robot, and the experimental results show the feasibility and robustness of the proposed system.
THE INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN FINANCIAL LEVERAGE AND PERFORMANCE: A CASE IN VIETNAM

This paper considers the international trade effect in the relationship between financial leverage and firm performance. It find out the answer to whether the impact of the financial leverage on internationally - oriented firms are stronger than on domestically – oriented ones. The paper use ordinary least squares, two - stage least squares and generalized method of moments to analyze data sample consisting of 107 enterprises in the period 2007-2015. Research results show that the international trade affects negatively the relationship between financial leverage and performance in Vietnamese firms. The effect of financial leverage in internationally - oriented firms are more than in domestically – oriented firms. Besides, other factors such as Vietnam’s interest rate, firm age, and firm size also affect negatively on firms’ performance. However, economic growth factor has a positive impact on the increase of assets’ return. In addition, the research points out that the large scale of business will offset the negative effects of financial leverage on performance.
Governance Structure, Tax Avoidance, and Firm Value

This study aims to determine the effect of good corporate governance with board size indicators, board diversity, independent commissioners, and audit committee on the firm value. Tax avoidance was also tested as mediation in Good Corporate Governance and firm value relationship. We used 132 publicly listed Indonesian manufacturing firms that are listed in 2014-2018 as samples. This study used multiple regression analysis and path analysis by a Sobel test. The study results indicated that the size of independent commissioners played a significant role in supervising and providing consultation that had an impact on increasing firm value and tax avoidance. Meanwhile, other Good Corporate Governance elements, including board size, board diversity, and audit committee, did not affect the firm value. Similarly, the role of tax avoidance as mediation couldn’t be proven in this study. This indicated that the regulators need to evaluate the mechanism to implement Good Corporate Governance in public firms and, if deemed necessary, provide additional Good Corporate Governance mechanism which principles can be applied entirely to prevent an agency conflict.
Incidence and Patterns of Mandibular Fractures: A Retrospective Institutional Study

The aim of this study was to assess patterns of mandibular fractures and its relationship with etiology. This descriptive, cross-sectional study analyzed all patients aged above 8 years who had been clinically or radiographically diagnosed with mandibular fractures from June, 2019 to March, 2020. Patients with pathological fractures or blast injuries were excluded. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics for Windows, Version 20.0 (IBM Corp., Armonk, NY) and results obtained. Among 46 patients involved in mandibular fractures 41 were men (89.1%) and 5 were women (10.9%), and the majority of trauma patients (34.8%) were aged 21-30 years. The most frequent cause of mandibular fracture was road traffic accidents (RTA) mostly due to drunken driving (RTAs; 59.4%), followed by falls (18.8%). In patients with unilateral fractures, the most frequent site was the angle (23.9%), followed by the parasymphysis (15.2%). In patients with bilateral fractures, the most common sites were the dentoalveolar area (13%). All these results were statistically significant. p<0.05. On comparing the association between type of mandibular fractures and the other associated fractures, the results were statistically not significant. p>0.05. More mandibular fractures were present in men than in women mostly among the young adults. The most common etiological factor for mandibular fractures was road traffic accidents due to drunken driving, followed by falls. The most frequently fractured site was the angle of mandible followed by parasymphysis. The incidence of RTAs and resultant fractures may be reduced by strict prohibition of drunken driving, mandatory wearing of helmets, maintaining speed limits, and obeying proper traffic rules.

Internal and External Predictors of Vocational High School Students’ Employability: The Role and Functions of School Counselors

The purpose of this study was to depict the vocational high school students’ employability. Family support and self-confidence were examined as predictors that can enhance students’ readiness to enter the working world. Ninety-two students of Class XII of a vocational high school participated in this correlational study. They were recruited using cluster random sampling technique. In collecting the data, employability, self-confidence, and family support scales were administered. The collected data were analyzed using multiple regression technique. The result of the study showed that self-confidence and family support are positively correlated with employability, either partially or simultaneously. This study found that self-confidence, as the internal factor, give greater contribution to students’ employability. The result of this study could be used as a reference for school counselors to provide guidance and counseling services to enhance students’ employability.
Study of Biofilm and Fluidization of Bioparticles in a Three-Phase Liquid-Fluidized-Bed Reactor

A three-phase, liquid-fluidized-bed biofilm reactor was operated over wide ranges of liquid velocity, air velocity, medium concentration, and substrate surface loading. The biofilm characteristics (total colonization, polysaccharide content, density, and thickness) and the specific detachment coefficient (bs) were determined by a combination of experimental measurements and a hydrodynamic model. The results demonstrated that dense and thin biofilms were induced by the physical condition of high particle-to-particle contacts and high liquid turbulence. The biofilm's polysaccharide content was increased by increased air turbulence and a low substrate availability. The specific detachment coefficient, bs, was strongly correlated to the concentration of the medium (negatively) and the polysaccharide content (positively). Overall, the bs can be controlled significantly by the gas and liquid velocities; increasing either velocity tends to increase bs.
The Cost of Privacy Failures: Evidence from Bank Depositors’ Reactions to Breaches

This paper provides novel evidence that consumers react in response to privacy breaches, where personally identifying information is exposed to unauthorized parties. Exploring privacy breach incidences of U.S. banks, we reveal that depositors reallocate significant wealth holdings away from breached banks (estimated drop in deposits of 15% in the first six months following a privacy breach). Breached banks' branches located in the same county as their headquarters and in competitive markets see deposits decline sharply after a privacy breach. To counteract the depletion in deposits, bank branches increase deposit rates just after breach incidences. The results highlight the real cost of privacy breaches for corporations.
Carbon Mineralization and Water-Extractable Organic Carbon and Nitrogen as Predictors of Soil Health and Nitrogen Mineralization Potential

ABSTRACT The United States Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) launched a national “Soil health initiative” in 2012; as a part of that effort, a soil health index (SHI) has been developed. The SHI is calculated using results of three soil tests: 24-h carbon mineralization following rewetting of air-dried soil (Cmin, by the “Solvita” proprietary method) and water-extractable organic carbon (C) and nitrogen (N). These tests are being promoted both as the inputs into the SHI calculation and as predictors of soil N mineralization potential. Soil was collected from 35 California fields in annual crop rotations; 20 fields were under certified organic management and the other 15 under conventional management, to provide a range of soil properties and management effects. Carbon mineralization was determined by the Solvita method, and by a comparison method utilizing head space carbon dioxide (CO2) monitoring by infrared gas analyzer (IRGA); additionally, two soil wetting protocols were compared, capillary wetting (the Solvita method) and wetting to 50% water-filled pore space (WFPS). Both water-extractable C (WEOC) and N (WEON) were determined using NRCS-recommended protocols. Net N mineralization (Nmin) was also determined after a 28-day aerobic incubation at 25°C. Solvita Cmin was highly correlated with the IRGA method using capillary wetting (R2 = 0.81). However, capillary soil wetting resulted in high gravimetric water content that significantly suppressed Cmin compared to the 50% WFPS method. Nmin was correlated with Solvita Cmin (r = 0.54) and with WEOC and WEON (r = 0.62 for each comparison); combining these three measurements into the SHI slightly improved the correlation with Nmin. The organically managed soils scored higher than the conventional soils on the SHI, with a minority of organic soils and the majority of conventional soils scoring below the NRCS target threshold. SHI and soil organic matter were correlated, suggesting an inherent bias that would complicate the application of a national SHI standard.

Evaluation of the brain pH using a phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique – a comparison of women and men

ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to determine the reference value of pH in healthy women and men using the phosphorus magnetic resonance spectroscopy technique. The brains of 65 young volunteers were examined. The intracellular pH was calculated in the group of women and the group of men. In both groups, the average pH was slightly alkaline (respectively 7.10 ± 0.08 and 7.08 ± 0.12). No statistically significant sex difference in brain pH was found. Thus, in case if this method is used to estimate possible brain pathology in the young population, it is not needed to take the gender factor into consideration.
Assessment of Hip and Knee Joints and Implants Using Acoustic Emission Monitoring: A Scoping Review

Objectives: Population ageing and the subsequent increase of joint disorders prevalence requires the development of non-invasive and early diagnostic methods to enable timely medical assistance and promote healthy aging. Over the last decades, acoustic emission (AE) monitoring, a technique widely used in non-destructive testing, has also been introduced in orthopedics as a diagnostic tool. This review aims to synthesize the literature on the use of AE monitoring for the assessment of hip and knee joints or implants, highlighting the practical aspects and implementation considerations. Methods: this review was conducted as per the PRISMA statement for scoping reviews. All types of studies, with no limits on date of publication, were considered. Articles were assessed and study design parameters and technical characteristics were extracted from relevant studies. Results: conducted search identified 1379 articles and 64 were kept for charting. Seven additional articles were added at a later stage. Reviewed works were grouped into studies on joint condition assessment, implant assessment, and hardware or software development. Native knees and hip implants were most commonly assessed. The most researched conditions were osteoarthritis, implant loosening or squeaking in vivo and structural damage of implants in vitro. Conclusion: in recent years, AE monitoring showed potential of becoming a useful diagnostic tool for lower limb pathologies. However, further research is needed to refine the existing methods and assess their feasibility in early diagnostics. Significance: The current state of research on AE monitoring for hip and knee joint assessment is described and future research directions are identified.
