Time to collaborate: Objectives, design, and methodology of PeRA-Research Group

Özdemir et al. [1] published in North Clinics of Istanbul. The KCAHW is a scale developed by Bakare et al. [2] consisting of four areas and 19 items which measure knowledge level of health workers on autism. During the scale adaptation process, it was seen that the writers excluded the 1st item since all participants answered it accurately and the 4th area as a whole (6 items as a whole) for a reason that is not easily understandable such as to avoid misunderstandings of the physicians about autism spectrum disorder and the scale was reduced to three areas. As a result, the scale consisting of four areas and 19 items were reduced to three areas and 12 items without the presentation of sufficient psychometric reasons. In the process of developing a new scale, adding or excluding an item in line with analysis results might be in question [3]. However, while doing scale validity and reliability studies, excluding items can cause the loss of certain concepts and thus “the loss of content validity. ” A scale which does not have content validity cannot claim to measure anything. Excluding items from a scale can only be possible in psychometric studies only with an exploratory approach and require objective hypothesis and accurate and sufficient psychometric methods (IRT and Differential Item Functioning, etc.). It is apparent that the objective in Özdemir et al.’s study is not to test the content validity of the original scale. In fact, there is a need to develop a new scale rather than test the content validity of a scale which has previously been developed, because items are prepared within the framework of theoretical structure (conceptual content) while developing a scale. In addition, the exclusion of any item requires certain statistical approaches. The approaches used here to exclude items from a scale are insufficient. In the other cultural adaptation and validity study of the same scale published by Gürbüz Özgür et al. [4], sticking to the original version of the scale, the validity and reliability of the KCAHW, which includes all four areas and all 19 items, without needing any items to be removed, has been demonstrated for Turkish culture and Turkish. It will be a more scientifically correct approach to use the Turkish version of this scale adapted by sticking to the original, in the field of health services.
Study of the fertility of a carbonate red brown soil in a biomass bank with Cenchrus purpureus cv. CUBA CT-115 of ten exploitation years

The objective of this experiment was to research, between 2013- 2015, the effect of biomass bank technology on soil fertility and on some morphological indicators of Cenchrus purpureus cv. Cuba CT-115, grazed for more than ten consecutive years in the genetic enterprise "Camilo Cienfuegos", in Pinar del Rio province. It was found in the soil pH decrease (5.38 to 5.07, P <0.001), assimilable P2O5 (31.7 to 27.3 ppm; P <0.016), assimilable K2O (56.5 to 48.2 ppm; P <0.001), exchangeable Mg++ (1.10 to 0.82) cmol (+)/kg, P <0.001), base change capacity BCC (3.06 to 2.67 cmol (+)/kg, P <0.002) and cation-exchange capacity CEC (4.39 to 4.12 cmol (+)/kg; P <0.006), while organic matter OM increased (2.62 to 2.80 %; P <0.004) and interchangeable Ca ++, Na + and K + were not affected. In this case, the compaction significantly increased and the porosity and basal respiration decreased. The tillers/bunch indicator, determined in the rainy and dry seasons of 2015, showed a lower value (P <0.0001) in the dry season (10.70), which coincided with the lower value of the grass yield at that season of the year. The biomass of grass roots was higher in the depth of 15 - 30 cm of the soil (1.01 g/cylinder), in comparison with the superficial layer of 0 - 10 cm (0.54 g/ cylinder). However, in the area occupied by the biomass bank, in 2015 acceptable values in the grass morphological indicators, the macrofauna activity (especially earthworms) and the root biomass were found. It is concluded that this soil showed low resilience power, with significant decrease of pH and P, K and Mg contents in the bank that has ten years of uninterrupted grazing. This decrease in the indicators of soil fertility was also reflected in the decrease of CP, P and Ca contents, as well as in the CT-115 digestibility. These results warn about the need to supplement the animals that grazed in this bank with sources of protein, phosphorus and calcium to achieve the right balance in their diets. Key words: resilience, grazing, dairy unit, biomass.
Adsorbents developed from residual biomass of canola grains for the removal of lead from water

This research aimed to develop modified adsorbents from grains residual biomass of four canola genotypes (canola meal) with H2O2, H2SO4 and NaOH (0.1 mol L–1) for removal of Pb2+ from water. The adsorbents were characterized by the point of zero charge (pHPZC), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal stability and porosimetry (Brunauer–Emmett–Teller and Barrett–Joyner– Halenda). Doses of adsorbent and the pH of the contaminated solution were evaluated. In addition, kinetics, equilibrium and thermodynamics studies were performed. The modified biosorbents presented an irregular appearance regarding its surface morphology, the presence of aldehyde, ketone and carbonyl functional groups (allowing the connection with metallic ions in solution) and pHPZC different from that observed for the precursor material. The adsorption of Pb2+ was influenced by the used adsorbent doses. The ideal contact time was found between 80 and 140 min. The adsorption kinetics indicated the predominance of chemical adsorption. The best adjustments occurred for the Langmuir model and genotype 3, which showed the higher value of Qm, the best adsorption rates (80%) which were found by modification by H2SO4. From these results, it is possible to affirm that there are differences in adsorption among different genotypes of canola, and these waste materials are a promising alternative for the treatment of water contaminated with Pb2+.
Broadband and Miniaturized Antenna-in-Package (AiP) Design for 5G Applications

A broadband and miniaturized planar Yagi antenna-in-package (AiP) design for the fifth-generation (5G) wireless communication is proposed. The monopole taper radiator is adopted for the proposed Yagi antenna design to miniaturize the size, extend the bandwidth, and simplify the feeding network. The proposed AiP design is broadband enough to cover all three 5G New Radio bands simultaneously. The high-precision high-resolution multilayered glass packaging fabrication process with a new low-loss polymer material coating is adopted to realize the circuit. The operation band is from 24.25 to 40 GHz and the fractional bandwidth is 49%. The overall size for an antenna element is 3.05 mm × 5.56 mm, which is equal to 0.25 <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\lambda _0$</tex-math></inline-formula> × 0.45 <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\lambda _0$</tex-math></inline-formula>. The measured <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$S_{11}$</tex-math></inline-formula> is smaller than <inline-formula><tex-math notation="LaTeX">$-$</tex-math></inline-formula>10 dB within the entire band and the gain is larger than 4 dBi. A two-by-one array using the proposed element is also demonstrated with a gain higher than 6.2 dBi within the entire band. Compared with previous works, the proposed AiP design can cover all 5G bands with a competitive size. Thus, it is suitable to be applied to massive arrays and easily integrated into packages to achieve compact system-in-package applications while resolving numerous current 5G challenges, including millimeter-wave (mm-wave) path loss and transmission loss.
Development of A High Protein Containing Filling for Bakery Products

: Development of nutrient-dense foods is one of the most important goals of today’s food industry. High protein content of foods helps to provide energy and amino acids for human body. In our study protein enriched filling was developed for donates. The main ingredients of the product were pudding powder and egg white product (TOTu, ToTu tej, ToTu krém, and ToTu krém extra). The texture of samples was analyzed by Anton Paar Mcr 92 rheometer and the quality of products was evaluated by sensorial tests. Microbiological decontamination of HHP was investigated (500 MPa, 5 min). Our results show that high protein content did not influence the sensorial quality of filling, as long the microbiota of the products is highly improved by HHP treatment. Rheological properties are highly influenced by the concentration of egg proteins. The overall quality will be better, if egg white products are used for the product.

A qualitative exploration of perceived causes and solutions for substance abuse among dental students of coastal Karnataka

To recognize the perceived causes of substance abuse among the dental students and to look out for practical solutions. Undergraduate dental students of the second year took part in the study. Qualitative study with the methodology of free listing and pile sorting was implemented to determine, the reasons for the initiation of substance abuse and possible solutions. The acquired data was evaluated using Visual Anthropac software. Major causes of substance abuse among dental students were found to be peer pressure with salience value of (0.653), followed by depression (0.374) and thirdly, to overcome stress (0.327). Other reasons included academic pressure, break-up, living away from parents. Cognitive mapping grouped the piles under headings like inability to handle psychological imbalance, curiosity to experience varied kind of emotions and current mindset of teens in the present era or external influence. Solutions offered by the students were talking to elders, self-control, choosing the right friends circle. Cognitive mapping grouped reported solutions under piles with headings such as interaction with the right people, help from external factors and self help or measures taken by students by their own will and keeping themselves busy. Substance abuse among dental students can cause damage to their health and prevent them from optimally receiving quality training and education, thus impeding them from the quality care of their patients in the future. Interacting with the right people, recreational facilities and limiting the availability of drugs can help curb this menace. Clinical article (J Int Dent Med Res 2020; 13(3): 1087-1093)
Electrophysiologic characteristics and catheter ablation results of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy in children with structurally normal heart

Objective: The aim of this study is to present electrophysiologic characteristics and catheter ablation results of tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) in children with structurally normal heart. Methods: We performed a single-center retrospective review of all pediatric patients with TIC, who underwent an electrophysiology study and ablation procedure in our clinic between November 2013 and January 2019. Results: A total of 26 patients, 24 patients with single tachyarrhythmia substrates and two patients each with two tachyarrhythmia substrates, resulting with a total of 28 tachyarrhythmia substrates, underwent ablation for TIC. The median age was 60 months (2–214 months). Final diagnoses were supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) in 24 patients and ventricular tachycardia (VT) in two patients. The most common SVT mechanisms were focal atrial tachycardia (31%), atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia (27%), and permanent junctional reciprocating tachycardia (15%). Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) was performed in 15 tachyarrhythmia substrates, and cryoablation was performed in 13 tachyarrhythmia substrates, as the initial ablation method. Acute success in ablation was achieved in 24 out of 26 patients (92%). Tachycardia recurrence was observed in two patients (8%) on follow-up, who were treated successfully with repeated RFA later on. Overall success rates were 92% (24 out of 26) in patients and 93% (26 out of 28) in substrates. On echocardiography controls, the median left ventricular recovery time was 3 months (1–24 months), and median reversible remodeling time was 6 months (3–36 months). Conclusion: TIC should be kept in mind during differential diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy. Pediatric TIC patients can be treated successfully and safely with RFA or cryoablation. With an early diagnosis of TIC and quick restoration of the normal sinus rythm, left ventricular recovery, and remodeling may be facilitated. (Anatol J Cardiol 2020; 24: 370-6)
Morphological Errors on Japanese Verb Conjugation to Passive Form at Third-Year Students of Japanese Education Study Program of UNP

Verbs are a class of words that can stand alone and conjugate. The Japanese verb has various forms of conjugation, and it differs based on the group of the verb. One form of verb conjugation in Japanese is verb change to the passive form. In conjugating verb to passive form, the Japanese learners of UNP frequently make mistakes. Based on linguistic categories, incorrect verb conjugation is categorized as morphological error. Morphological error is a grammatical mistake on a morpheme or word level. According to Dulay (1982), Language errors consist of omission, addition, misformation, and disordering. The purpose of this study is to describe the morphological errors of verb conjugation to the passive form made by Japanese language learners by using surface strategy taxonomy. This research was a qualitative study with a descriptive method. The source of the research data was the answer sheet of the Japanese grammar test of the third-year students of the Japanese education study program of UNP. The research samples were third-year students batch 2017 as many as 30 people from a population of 60 people, who were selected by simple random sampling techniques. The result of this study is the most commonly found mistake in conjugating the verb into passive form is the misformation of the verb.
The Spindle Assembly Checkpoint Functions during Early Development in Non-Chordate Embryos

In eukaryotic cells, a spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) ensures accurate chromosome segregation. This control mechanism monitors proper attachment of chromosomes to spindle microtubules and delays mitotic progression if connections are erroneous or absent. The SAC operates in all eukaryotic cells tested so far, but is thought to be relaxed during early embryonic development in animals. Here, we evaluate the checkpoint response to lack of kinetochore-spindle microtubule interactions in early embryos of diverse animal species from the main metazoan groups. Our analysis shows that there are two classes of embryos, either proficient or deficient for SAC activation during cleavage. Sea urchins, mussels and jellyfish embryos show a prolonged mitotic block in the absence of spindle microtubules from the first cleavage division, while ascidian and amphioxus embryos, like those of Xenopus and zebrafish, continue mitotic cycling without delay. SAC competence during early development shows no correlation with cell size, chromosome number or kinetochore to cell volume ratio, ruling out the hypothesis that lack of checkpoint activity in early embryos is due to the large egg volume. Our results instead indicate that there is no inherent incompatibility between SAC activity and large fast-dividing embryonic cells. We suggest that SAC proficiency is the default situation of metazoan embryos, and that SAC activity is specifically silenced in chordate species with fast dividing embryos.
Analytical Conduction Loss Calculation of a MOSFET Three-Phase Inverter Accounting for the Reverse Conduction and the Blanking Time

The reverse conduction capability of MOSFETs is beneficial for the efficiency of a three-phase inverter. In this article, analytical expressions in closed form are presented which allow to quickly evaluate the conduction losses, considering the effect of the reverse conduction, and blanking time for both sinusoidal pulsewidth modulation operation with and without third harmonic injection. The losses of a three-phase silicon carbide MOSFET inverter suitable for traction applications are estimated with the proposed method and show good agreement of about 98.5% with measurements, performed with a calorimetric setup.
Serodetection of Hydatidosis in Buffaloes using Recombinant Ag-B Subunit 8 of Echinococcus granulosus

Hydatidosis/Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is one of the most important zoonosis of global dimension caused by the larval stages of the taeniid cestode Echinococcus granulosus affecting both humans and animals worldwide (Thompson 2008). It is characterized by a slow growing cyst in the visceral organs like liver, spleen, lung etc. E. granulosus has a cosmopolitan distribution and the disease is well known in Asia, Africa, South and Central America, the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe, with some foci in the United Kingdom (Craig et al., 2003; Eckert and Deplazes, 2004; Samanta, 2008). About 4 million people are estimated to be infected and other 40 million at risk of this disease (Aziz et al., 2011). WHO had put hydatidosis as an important neglected zoonosis sub-group for its Hydatidosis caused by metacestode stage of Echinococcus granulosus is one of the most important cyclozoonotic disease affecting both humans and livestock resulting in considerable economic losses to livestock industry which amounts to US$ 3 billion annually (WHO factsheet on Echinococcosis, 2018). No reliable immunodiagnostic method is available for its sero-detection in animals. Native antigen-B represents one of the most immuno-dominant antigens in hydatidosis, therefore assessment of recombinant antigen-B subunit 8 was taken in the current study. The immuno-reactivity of recombinant 29-kDa EgAgB-8 protein was confirmed in the Western blot with rabbit anti-histidine antibodies and buffalo sera positive for hydatid infection. The sero-diagnostic potential of this recombinant protein was evaluated by indirect ELISA and DOT-ELISA platforms by screening two hundred and fifty buffalo sera where 44.8% (n=112) samples were revealed positive by indirect-ELISA by detecting antibodies against this antigen in sera. Immunoreactivity with hydatid positive buffaloes (n=12) was also confirmed in DOT-ELISA. Cross-reactivity of the recombinant antigen with field sera positive for Gigantocotyle explanatum, Paramphistomum epiclitum and Gastrothylax crumenifer was also studied in DOT-ELISA that showed some of the buffaloes infected with parasites other than hydatid metacestode were cross-reacting with the recombinant antigen.
