An Examination on the Usability of Concept Maps in the Teaching of Turkish Music Theory Courses

This study aims to determine the usability of concept mapping technique as an auxiliary teaching material in teaching of Turkish Music Theory courses on basis of student views. This study also seeks to find out whether the ideas about the use of concept maps in Turkish Music Theory courses vary depending on ‘gender’ and ‘class’ variables. This research was created in survey design and a survey was used as a data collection tool. The study group consists of 63 students who participated in the five-week training given by the researcher. The data obtained from the study were analyzed by SPSS 15 statistics software. As a result of the research, the use of concept maps in the teaching of Turkish Music Theory course was found useful for effective learning and organization of the concepts related to this course. It was found that there was a significant difference between the participants' views of the concept maps on the 'usability of teaching' sub-dimension of Turkish Music Theory course, and their gender. Furthermore, there was a significant difference among the participants between'usability of learning', 'organization' and 'effectiveness' sub-dimensions and the year of education.
Dynamics of anti-SARS-CoV-2 seroconversion in individual patients and at the population level

The immune response and specific antibody production in COVID-19 are among the key factors that determine both prognostics for individual patients and the global perspective for controlling the pandemics. So called "dark figure", that is, a part of population that has been infected but not registered by the health care system, make it difficult to estimate herd immunity and to predict pandemic trajectories. Here we present a follow up study of population screening for hidden herd immunity to SARS-CoV-2 in individuals who had never been positively diagnosed against SARS-CoV-2; the first screening was in May 2021, and the follow up in December 2021. We found that specific antibodies targeting SARS-CoV-2 detected in May as the "dark figure" cannot be considered important 7 months later due to their significant drop. On the other hand, among participants who at the first screening were negative for anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG, and who have never been diagnosed for SARS-CoV-2 infection nor vaccinated, 26% were found positive for anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgG. This can be attributed to of the "dark figure" of the recent, fourth wave of the pandemic that occurred in Poland shortly before the study in December. Participants who were vaccinated between May and December demonstrated however higher levels of antibodies, than those who undergone mild or asymptomatic (thus unregistered) infection. Only 7% of these vaccinated participants demonstrated antibodies that resulted from infection (anti-NCP). The highest levels of protection were observed in the group that had been infected with SARS-CoV-2 before May 2021 and also fully vaccinated between May and December. These observations demonstrate that the hidden fraction of herd immunity is considerable, however its potential to suppress the pandemics is limited, highlighting the key role of vaccinations.

Radio transformation is a step to maintain existence. Innovation and adjustment to the rapid development of new media and exacerbated by the Covid-19 virus pandemic requires radio to transform into the digital era. This article aims to see the existence of RRI in transforming radio media in the digital era and Covid-19. The change of radio to the digital era is a demand in facing the challenges of progress and growth of information. This research uses descriptive qualitative method. The results show that the segmentation of radio listeners in the small category is caused by listeners who prefer and seek social media information. RRI’s strategy to uphold its existence in the digital era is to update technology and cooperation. The transformation carried out during the Covid-19 response period gave rise to an increased character for the information that was broadcast.
reatment of Relapsed Acute Leukemia fter Allogeneic Transplantation: A Single enter Experience

Relapsed acute leukemia after allogeneic transplantation has a poor prognosis and most reports have focused on the role of second transplantations in relapsed patients. We report our single-institution experience on the management of relapsed acute leukemia after allogeneic transplantation. We aimed to describe the outcome of relapsed acute leukemia after allogeneic transplantation at our institution and investigate whether maneuvers intended to augment donor T cell allogeneic reactivity were associated with durable graft-versus-leukemia effects. We analyzed 310 patients with acute leukemia who received allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cell transplants from HLA-matched donors between 1982 and 2005 (229 with acute myelogenous leukemia, 81 with acute lymphoblastic leukemia). Mean post-transplant follow-up was 5 years (range, 0.5-22 years). Factors associated with relapse incidence, therapy for relapse, response to treatment, and post-relapse survival were assessed. One hundred of 310 patients (32%) with acute leukemia relapsed after transplantation, including 28 of 81 patients (35%) with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and 72 of 229 (31%) with acute myelogenous leukemia at a median of 136 days after transplantation. Median post-relapse survival periods were 51 days for the 69 patients who received chemotherapy/supportive care, 84 days for 11 recipients of donor lymphocyte infusions, 303 days for 13 recipients of second transplants, and 442 days for 7 patients treated with interferonand granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor. A multivariable Cox regression analysis indicated that a longer time to relapse after transplantation, peripheral blood as source of stem cells, and initial post-relapse therapy with cytokines, donor lymphocyte infusions, or second transplants were associated with improved post-relapse survival (P <.001, <.001, and .025). The outlook for patients with post-transplant relapse of acute leukemia is extremely poor; currently, no single therapy consistently results in durable remissions. Our study highlights the need for clinical trials in this area. Therapy with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor and interferon-2b is promising and will be pursued in a prospective trial at our center. © 2007 American Society for Blood and Marrow Transplantation

Fuzzy assessment model for the health risk of heavy metals in urban dusts based on trapezoidal fuzzy numbers

By denoting exposure factors as trapezoidal fuzzy numbers,fuzzy assessment models were developed to calculate exposure dose and characterize the health risk of heavy metals in urban dusts.In addition,a new classification model and assessment criteria with seven grades for cancer risk are put forward.As a case study,the models established above were employed for human health risk assessment of Zn,Pb,Cu,Cd and Cr in urban dusts from the city of Hefei.The results showed that the expected values of cancer risk for the carcinogenic metals Cd and Cr were 1.49×10-9 and 2.75×10-7,respectively,lower than the soil management standard of the US EPA(i.e.1.0×10-6). The GradeⅠtotal cancer risk for Cd and Cr reached 0.927,suggesting that the annual cancer risks were extremely low and could be neglected.The expected value of total non-cancer hazard of the five heavy metals for children reached 1.888 and exceeded the safety threshold value(i.e.1.0). But for adults,the expected value was just 0.278 and far below the threshold value of 1.0. In Hefei,the highest levels of risk for all the elements included in the study seem to be associated with the route of ingestion of dust particles.
Spatial Content and Motoric Significance

According to “actionism” (Noë 2010), perception constitutively depends on implicit knowledge of the way sensory stimulations vary as a consequence of the perceiver’s self-movement. My aim in this contribution is to develop an alternative conception of the role of action in perception present in the work of Gareth Evans using resources provided by Ruth Millikan’s biosemantic theory of mental representation.
The Klein-Gordon equation on the hyperboloidal anti-de Sitter Schwarzschild black hole

In this paper we establish energy decay for solutions to the Klein-Gordon equation on the positive mass hyperboloidal anti-de Sitter Schwarzschild black hole, subject to Dirichlet, Neumann and Robin boundary conditions at inﬁnity, for a range of the (negative) mass squared parameter. To do so we use vector ﬁeld methods with a renormalised energy to avoid divergences that would otherwise appear in the energy integrals. For another region of the parameter space, we use the existence of negative energy solutions to demonstrate linear instability.
Deep Learning Based Caching for Self-Driving Car in Multi-access Edge Computing

Once self-driving car becomes a reality and passengers are no longer worry about it, they will need to find new ways of entertainment. However, retrieving entertainment contents at the Data Center (DC) can hinder content delivery service due to high delay of car-to-DC communication. To address these challenges, we propose a deep learning based caching for self-driving car, by using Deep Learning approaches deployed on the Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) structure. First, at DC, Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) is used to predict the probabilities of contents to be requested in specific areas. To reduce the car-DC delay, MLP outputs are logged into MEC servers attached to roadside units. Second, in order to cache entertainment contents stylized for car passengers' features such as age and gender, Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is used to predict age and gender of passengers. Third, each car requests MLP output from MEC server and compares its CNN and MLP outputs by using k-means and binary classification. Through this, the self-driving car can identify the contents need to be downloaded from the MEC server and cached. Finally, we formulate deep learning based caching in the self-driving car that enhances entertainment services as an optimization problem whose goal is to minimize content downloading delay. To solve the formulated problem, a Block Successive Majorization-Minimization (BS-MM) technique is applied. The simulation results show that the accuracy of our prediction for the contents need to be cached in the areas of the self-driving car is achieved at 98.04% and our approach can minimize delay.
The effect of the Enskog collision terms on the steady shock structure in a hard sphere gas

A bstract . In this work we study the effect of the Enskog collision terms on the steady shock transitions in the supersonic ﬂow of a hard sphere gas. We start by examining one-dimensional, nonlinear, nondispersive planar wave solutions of the Enskog–Navier– Stokes equations, which move in a ﬁxed direction at a constant speed. By further equating the speed of the reference frame with the speed of such a wave, we reduce the Enskog– Navier–Stokes equations into a more simple system of two ordinary differential equations, whose solutions depend on a single scalar spatial variable. We then observe that this system has two ﬁxed points, which are taken to be the states of the gas before and after the shock, and compute the corresponding shock transition in the form of the heteroclinic orbit connecting these two states. We ﬁnd that the Enskog correction affects both the difference between the ﬁxed points, and the thickness of the transition. In particular, for a given state of the gas before the shock transition, the difference between the ﬁxed points is reduced, while the shock thickness is increased, with the relative impact on the properties of transition being more prominent at low Mach numbers. We also compute the speed of sound in the Enskog–Navier–Stokes equations, and ﬁnd that, for the same thermodynamic state, it is somewhat faster than that in the conventional Navier–Stokes equations, with an additional dependence on the density of the gas.
Mechanism of the anti-proliferative activity of some naphthalene diimide G-quadruplex ligands

G-quadruplexes are higher-order nucleic acid structures which can form in G-rich telomeres and promoter regions of oncogenes. Telomeric quadruplex stabilization by small molecules can lead to telomere uncapping followed by DNA damage response and senescence, as well as chromosomal fusions leading to deregulation of mitosis followed by apoptosis, and down-regulation of oncogene expression. We report here on investigations into the mechanism of action of tetra-substituted naphthalene diimide (ND) ligands on the basis of cell biological data together with an NCI COMPARE study. We conclude that four principal mechanisms of action are implicated for these compounds: a) telomere uncapping with subsequent DNA damage response and senescence, b) inhibition of transcription/translation of oncogenes, c) genomic instability though telomeric DNA end fusions, resulting in mitotic catastrophe and apoptosis and d) induction of chromosomal instability by telomere aggregate formation.
Structural sparsification for Far-field Speaker Recognition with GNA

Recently, deep neural networks (DNN) have been widely used in speaker recognition area. In order to achieve fast response time and high accuracy, the requirements for hardware resources increase rapidly. However, as the speaker recognition application is often implemented on mobile devices, it is necessary to maintain a low computational cost while keeping high accuracy in far-field condition. In this paper, we apply structural sparsification on time-delay neural networks (TDNN) to remove redundant structures and accelerate the execution. On our targeted hardware, our model can remove 60% of parameters and only slightly increasing equal error rate (EER) by 0.18% while our structural sparse model can achieve more than 1.5x speedup.
Portal Altruistic behavior and cooperation : The role of intrinsic expectation when reputational information is incomplete

Altruistic behavior is known to be conditional on the level of altruism of others. However, people often have no information, or incomplete information, about the altruistic reputation of others, for example when the reputation was obtained in a different social or economic context. As a consequence, they have to estimate the other's altruistic intentions. Using an economic game, we showed that without reputational information people have intrinsic expectations about the altruistic behavior of others, which largely explained their own altruistic behavior. This implies that when no information is available, intrinsic expectations can be as powerful a driver of altruistic behavior as actual knowledge about other people's reputation. Two strategies appeared to co-exist in our study population: participants who expected others to be altruistic and acted even more altruistically themselves, while other participants had low expected altruism scores and acted even less altruistically than they expected others to do. We also found evidence that generosity in economic games translates into benefits for other social contexts: a reputation of financial generosity increased the attractiveness of partners in a social cooperative game. This result implies that in situations with incomplete information, the fitness effects of indirect reciprocity are cumulative across different social contexts.
Case Series Recurrence of Asymptomatic COVID-19 after Recovery among Healthcare Workers

We describe five healthcare workers (HCWs) with a recurrence of asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection at Siloam Teaching Hospital, Indonesia. All cases involved nurses, with an average age of 27 years. +e RT-PCR assay confirmed the first and second infection episodes. All cases showed negative RT-PCR results in the period between two infection episodes. +e median interval time between two infection episodes was 123 days, ranging from 92 to 158 days. +e clinical outcomes for all cases were favourable, with no mortality observed among study cases. Further studies will be required to understand the true nature of this phenomenon.
A Comparative Study of Cord Blood Hematological Profile of Neonates Born to Mothers with and without Pregnancy-Induced Hypertension

Aim: The purpose of this study was to compare the haematological profile of cord of neonates born to mothers with and without PIH, and to evaluate short term clinical outcomes in the two groups. Methods: A prospective case control study was done on cord blood of 50 neonates born to mother with PIH (cases) and compared with 50 neonates born to normotensive mothers (controls) attending OPD/Labour room/Ward of Department of Obstetrics &Gynaecology SRMSIMS, Bareilly. 2 ml cord blood was collected from the placental end at the time of delivery and was analysed for haemoglobin, PCV, various red cell indices, nucleated RBC, reticulocyte count, total leucocyte count, differential leucocyte count and platelet count. The cases and controls were followed up during their hospital stay for clinical outcome. Data was analysed using software IBM SPSS statistics version 20.0 and was compared using Chisquare test. Results: Platelet count was found to be significantly lower whereas mean corpuscular volume, reticulocyte count, nucleated RBC, lymphocytes and monocytes were significantly increased in neonates born to mothers with PIH. There was significantly higher incidence of respiratory distress and NICU admission in neonates of mothers with PIH. Conclusion: It was concluded that there are significant differences in haematological profile of neonates born to mothers with and without PIH. A positive association was seen between PIH and neonatal thrombocytopenia which was in accordance with results of most studies. The relationship of mean corpuscular volume, reticulocyte count and nucleated RBC in neonates of PIH mother ties well with most studies whereas in case of lymphocytes it was non-comparable with other studies. Clinical significance: Neonates of hypertensive mothers should be carefully evaluated and monitored in terms of haematological abnormalities. Following up these neonates may give us more insight in the progression of hematological derangements that can further guide management and establish whether there is a need to institute screening all neonates born to hypertensive mothers. We believe that a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach between the fields of maternal-fetal medicine and neonatology is necessary to weigh the maternal and fetal risks of prolonging the pregnancy versus the potential benefits of further fetal maturation across most gestational ages.
Positive Psychological Transformation: A Mixed Methods Investigation Into Catalysts and Processes of Meaningful Change

This mixed methods study investigated the experience of positive psychological transformation, including its catalysts, dynamics, supportive factors, and outcomes. The first phase of the study was a 13-item survey (N=130) that revealed trends and associations in participants’ experiences of transformation. The most significant correlation was between “expressing myself” and change stabilization (p < .01). Forty-four percent of participants reported trauma or emotional distress as the main catalyst of their transformation. Each of the other three main catalysts (dissonance, adaptation, and inspiration) drew approximately 18% of responses. Connecting with nature (71%), introspection (65%), solitude (63%) and empathy (61%) were commonly reported supportive factors. Common changes related to participants’ way of interacting with others (77%), perception (75%), and emotional patterns (70%). The process of transformation differed substantially depending on multiple factors including the catalyst and demographic categories. Additionally, the survey revealed a trend of moving away from organized religion toward a sense of being spiritual but not religious. The second phase of the study consisted of interviews with a portion of the participants who reported trauma as the main catalyst of their transformation (n = 26) and was focused on the experience of posttraumatic growth. Thematic analysis revealed that transformation is typically initiated by a series of traumatic events and that the process of transformation can involve impaired well-being/functioning before elevated well-being/functioning. The results of thematic analysis were consistent with existing data on posttraumatic growth.
AnaphylaxisFamily Member A1/Bfl-1 Protects Mice from Knockdown of the Antiapoptotic Bcl-2

Many forms of hypersensitivity reactions and allergic responses depend on deregulated mast cell activity. Several reports suggested that the antiapoptotic Bcl-2 family protein Bcl2a1/Bﬂ-1/A1 plays a critical role in mast cell survival upon activation. However, its in vivo relevance is poorly understood because of quadruplication of the Bcl2a1 gene locus in mice, hindering conventional knockout studies. In this study, we used a mouse model allowing traceable constitutive knockdown of all A1 isoforms expressed in the hematopoietic system by RNA interference. Knockdown of A1 reduced mast cell numbers in the skin and impaired connective tissue–like mast cell survival upon Fc « RI-mediated activation in vitro. In contrast, A1 was dispensable for mucosa-like mast cell differentiation and survival. Moreover, knockdown of A1 prevented IgE-mediated passive systemic and cutaneous anaphylaxis in vivo. Our ﬁndings demonstrate that A1 is essential for the homeostasis of connective tissue mast cells, identifying A1 as a possible therapeutic target for therapy of certain types of mast cell–driven allergy symptoms.

The rationality of eating disorders

Sufferers of eating disorders often hold false beliefs about their own body size. Such beliefs appear to violate norms of epistemic rationality, being neither grounded by nor responsive to appropriate forms of evidence. Contrary to appearances, I defend the rationality of these beliefs. I argue that they are in fact grounded in and reinforced by appropriate evidence, emanating from proprioceptive misperception of bodily boundaries. This argument has farreaching implications for the explanation and treatment of eating disorders, as well as debates over the relationship between rationality and human psychology.
Reproductive Characteristics of Nemipterus peronii (Valenciennes) from the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia

Sampling for N. peronii was conducted monthly on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia using a trawler. From a sample size of 3608 individuals, it can be deduced that the success of N. peronii is due to its reproductive characteristics. Females predominate the population at small sizes while males at larger sizes. This study indicates the existence of sex-specific differences in growth, with males growing faster than females. Wide variation in fecundity, associated with spawning frequency was also observed. The data indicated an annual cycle of reproductive activity with the peak activity occurring early in the year.
