TIPER consists of Jacobson Progressive Muscle Relaxation, Guided Imagery and Mindfulness Meditation Total enumerative sampling technique was adopted with 211 samples in phase one, and 90 samples were obtained in phase two was randomized into study and control group of 45 each. Control group samples were administered with physical exercises. A tool used in this study was Socio-demographic Variables, Mini-Mental Status Examination, Modified Kuppusamy Socio-Economic Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale(DASS-21), ICD-10 Criteria for Depression & General Anxiety, State and Trait Anxiety Scale. Results reveal that analysis of pre-test and post-test score in study group using paired ‘t' test shows the ‘p' value was <0.01 level were as in control group was not less than 0.01 level. Hence, TIPER was found effective in reducing the level of depression, anxiety and stress among elders at old age homes.
Neuromodulatory effects of aqueous extract of Coriandrum sativum seeds against acrylamide induced toxicity in Drosophila melanogaster#
Authors: Sathya N Prasad  , Muralidhara
Published: April 2019

Acrylamide (ACR) exposure leads to neuronal damage in both experimental animals and humans and has been established as a neurotoxin. The primary focus of this study was to assess the potential ameliorative effect of aqueous extract of coriander seeds against ACR-induced neurotoxicity in a Drosophila model. In this co-exposure study, adult male flies (8–10 days) were exposed (7 days) to ACR (5 mM) with or without aqueous extract of coriander seeds (0.005% and 0.01%) in the medium. The incidence of mortality among flies fed with ACR and extract was significantly reduced (40-60%). The ACR fed flies showed improvement in negative geotaxis assay when co-exposed with coriander extract (50-60%). Further, a significant attenuation in the ACR induced oxidative stress parameter such as Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS), and malondialdehyde (MDA) was evident. Although the effect of ACR with or without extract showed a differential effect on the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione –S – transferase (GST), the reduced levels of Thioredoxin Reductase (TRR) activity was robustly enhanced with extract supplement. Further, the cholinergic and dopaminergic function was assessed among all flies. While ACR induced elevation of acetylcholine esterase (AChE) activity remained unaltered with coriander supplement, a significant improvement was evident in the ACR induced reduction of dopamine levels.  While the underlying mechanism of action needs further investigation, the protective effects may be at least in part related to the antioxidant capacity of the phytoconstituents of coriander.

Published: April 2019

The present study was undertaken to observe the association between stress and eating behaviour with premenstrual syndrome. Thirty cases of premenstrual syndrome and thirty healthy, age-matched controls, were included in the study after obtaining written informed consent. Premenstrual syndrome questionnaire was used to identify participants with PMS. Stress perception was measured by using the perceived stress scale. PSS is a standard questionnaire, a global measure of perceived stress. The vulnerability of the eating disorder was assessed by using EAT-26. The value of R for the association of stress and eating behavior in participants with the premenstrual syndrome is 0.0981. Although technically a positive correlation, the relationship between your variables is weak. The value of R2, the coefficient of determination, is 0.0096. The value of R for the association of stress and eating behavior in healthy participants is 0.0077. Although technically a positive correlation, the relationship between your variables is weak. The value of R2, the coefficient of determination, is 0.0001. There were significantly high levels of stress score (P=0.0003) in the cases when compared to controls. However, the EAT-26 score is not significant (P=0.7288). A positive correlation was observed between the stress and eating behaviour in both healthy and premenstrual syndrome individuals. The study recommends further studies on a large scale to understand the association and underlying mechanisms to plan better management techniques and also to increase awareness in the student population.

Published: April 2019

Medical education was evolved drastically to meet the needs of current generation students. Role play is the effective method to teach the clinical concepts. Role play promotes active learning and critical thinking. It also improves the communication skills which are most essential in medical education. The current study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of role-play in understanding the clinical concepts in medical physiology. The topic was explained in the routine lecture using power point presentation and video. Post-assessment was performed using 30 multiple choice questions. The perception of the students was also obtained after the role play. There was a significant (P<0.05) increase in the performance of students in the MCQ test followed by the role play. 75% of students agreed strongly that role-play along with class lecture helps to acquire better clinical knowledge.76% strongly agreed that the role play promotes active learning. 80% of students strongly agreed that they enjoyed the role play. 72% of students strongly agreed that role play helps them to remember the clinical concepts easily. 90% of students strongly agreed that it increased their communication skills and motivated them to work in a team. 75% of students preferred role plays for learning the clinical concepts, and 70% of the students recommended the roleplay to be implemented in the curriculum. The study results provide research evidence about the effectiveness of the role play in teaching the clinical concepts. Further detailed studies are recommended to adopt role play in teaching the clinical concepts in medical education.

Authors: Sahar H. Al-Hindawi  , Batool Hassan Al-Ghurabi
Published: April 2019

Relationship between thyroid dysfunction and periodontal disease has been mediated through an immune response. Cytokines are implicated in the initiation, consequences of immune response and a crucial role in the pathogenesis of thyroid disease, directly target thyroid follicular cells; and in the development and progression of periodontitis. This study aimed to detect cytokines levels which known to be associated with periodontitis in serum and saliva, to test the hypothesis that hypothyroidism influences the levels of biomarkers of periodontitis. Samples were collected from sixty patients with hypothyroid age ranged (20-64) years, thirty of patients were without periodontitis (group I) and 30 with periodontal disease (II); moreover, 30 subjects considered as control (group III) with age (20-53) years. Detection of cytokines was performed by ELISA. The results showed a significant elevation in serum and salivary levels of IL-1β (P<0.001) among patients’ groups (I and II) as compared to group III, as well IL-1β increase significantly in group II (P<0.001) than in group I and also than group III. There are non-significant differences (P>0.05) in serum level of IL-6 and TNF-α and salivary levels of TNF-α among all study groups. Nevertheless, the salivary level of IL-6 is increased significantly (P<0.05) in group II as compared with group I and group III, and their non-significant differences (P<0.05) between groups I and III. The present finding proposed that hypothyroidism might encourage periodontitis development; as well as serum and salivary levels of IL-1β, with salivary IL-6 may represent important biomarkers for the early detection of periodontitis in hypothyroid patients.
Development of protocol for screening of formulation attributes and the assessment of common quality problems in oleuropein loaded nanostructured lipid carriers
Authors: Sucharitha P  , Satyanarayana SV  , Bhaskar Reddy K
Published: April 2019

The current study aims to explore and identify the screening of formulation components and evaluates the quality issues of nanostructured lipid carriers (NLCs) for the phenolic secoirodoid Oleuropein. The stepwise screening of the components for preparation of NLCs includes the selection of solid lipid, liquid lipid based on the relative solubility of Oleuropein in different lipids. Polaxomer 188 was selected as the main surfactant for the preparation of NLCs because of its good emulsification efficacy for the solid lipid liquid mix. Lecithin was used to enhance the stability of NLC. The optimized formulation was also evaluated for different quality issues. Thermal analysis by DSC revealed that the lipid particles maintained sufficiently good melting point even after nanonization. Absence of gelation and resilience for the stress provided by autoclaving further established the quality of the developed NLCs. In a nutshell, a systematic protocol was developed for designing of Oleuropein NLC with good particulate parameters of minimum particle size and maximum zeta potential with narrow polydispersity index.

Published: April 2019

O presente trabalho tem por objetivo refletir sobre as contribuições do grupo de estudos Síndrome do Delta (SD) para a formação inicial de professores de matemática. Por meio desse grupo, busca-se promover uma articulação entre o conhecimento pedagógico e o exercício da docência, relacionando a teoria e a prática em encontros semanais de quatro horas de duração. Para isso, houve uma aproximação com duas escolas públicas da Cidade de Goiás a fim de oferecer aos licenciandos participantes do SD uma formação mais próxima do contexto real da escola, do ensino e da aprendizagem da matemática no ensino médio. Durante o ano de 2017, o trabalho versou sobre tarefas matemáticas para o ensino e a aprendizagem da função polinomial do primeiro grau. Sendo que, as atividades planejadas foram realizadas nas escolas e, posteriormente, discutidas com os professores em formação inicial, com os professores das escolas e com o professor coordenador. Além disso, contribuíram para a produção de artigos e relatos de experiência pessoal que foram apresentados em eventos científicos e compõem o material aqui discutido. Desse modo, a participação nessa ação contribuiu para que os licenciandos: entendessem a importância do domínio do conteúdo para o ensino de matemática, a partir das interações, em sala de aula, com alunos do ensino médio; percebessem a complexidade do processo de ensino e de aprendizagem por meio de observações na ficha avaliativa e no caderno de campo e de reflexões no grupo de estudos; assumissem uma postura investigativa, fundamentando a prática pedagógica na teoria estudada; e socializassem as experiências através da participação, com apresentação de trabalhos, em eventos científicos

El problema de la filosofía latinoamericana. Aportes para propiciar la identidad desde la filosofía con niñ@s y adolescentes
Authors: Morales Laura , Rodriguez Laura
Published: April 2019

La experiencia de hacer filosofía en la escuela como práctica de libertad nos convoca al análisis de los modos de recepción de la filosofía en la Argentina y Latinoamérica. Dicho de otra manera, el planteo de Filosofía con Niñ@s requiere reponer el problema de filosofía latinoamericana o filosofía en Latinoamérica; y, con ello, tematizar la "antinomia/oposición/ alternativa" de estos términos en relación con prácticas filosóficas no reproductivas, de gratuidad del pensar, de anulación de la asimetría a la hora del filosofar.
El idiota de Nicolás de Cusa:
Authors: D'Amico Claudia
Published: April 2019

En el sugestivo libro aparecido en 1991 ¿Qué es la filosofía? Gilles Deleuze y Félix Guattari definen la filosofía como creación de conceptos. Añaden asimismo que esos nuevos conceptos necesitan personajes conceptuales que contribuyan a definirlos. No son muchas las veces que se asiste a la creación de un concepto. Un ejemplo recurrente es el cogito cartesiano: ¿por qué es verdaderamente una creación? En primer lugar porque no supone otros conceptos pero, sin embargo, es comprensible porque está sostenido por una imagen presupuesta: todo el mundo sabe qué significa pensar. Con todo, sostienen los autores, "hay algo a medio camino entre el plano del concepto y el plano preconceptual, que va de uno a otro" (DELEUZE; GUATTARI, 1993, p 63-ss). Es el personaje conceptual. En el caso del cogito, sostienen los autores, se trata del Idiota: él es quien dice Yo, él es quien lanza el cogito... El Idiota es el pensador privado por oposición al profesor público, el profesor universitario.

Arendt e a Educação em uma “Sociedade de Massa”
Authors: Schio Sônia Maria
Published: April 2019

Partindo de situações de salas de aula, assim como daquelas surgidas na prática educativa em geral, busca-se, no pensamento de Hannah Arendt (1906-1975), compreender o contexto em que se insere a temática da educação em uma sociedade de massa. Essa sociedade não valoriza o ser humano e a cultura por ele produzida, pois apenas consome. O humanismo pode ser um conceito a ser resgatado pela escola, permitindo o surgimento da autêntica cidadania e do convívio humano pleno e digno.

Incompreensões, desconfortos e escândalos na moda contemporânea
Authors: Moulinier Axel
Published: April 2019

O escândalo na moda do século XX nunca deixou de ganhar visibilidade. Os anos 1980 são aqueles dos costureiros «superstars»3, lançados ao centro do furacão midiático. No decorrer do período compreendido entre 1980 e 2015, os olhos da opinião pública estiveram voltados para as Semanas de Moda, que despontaram nos quatro cantos do mundo. Nova York, Londres, Milão, Paris e uma infinidade de outras Semanas, mais periféricas e menos tradicionais, passaram, então, a pautar a moda internacional. Provavelmente, é também graças a esta nova visibilidade que o escândalo passou a ter uma maior dimensão na moda: a anorexia, por exemplo, é, dentre os debates ligados à área, um dos mais ativos na esfera pública, assim como o racismo na seleção de modelos e a objetificação dos corpos das mulheres. Em paralelo aos desfiles, quase sempre as coleções contam também com o suporte de uma campanha publicitária fotográfica. Como confessou Rei Kawakubo, «as fotos na imprensa ajudam enormemente» (MANESCEAU; PAILLE; SEZE, 1987). Desfiles e fotografias constituem-se, então, nos vetores essenciais para se observar o aspecto polimórfico do escândalo na moda durante as três últimas décadas. [...]

Authors: Marzuki Marzuki
Published: April 2019

The implementation of Islamic law in Aceh is included education by organizing Islamic curriculum in each level of education. How is the implementation of the curriculum in a multi-religious society like Banda Aceh? Banda Aceh has implemented a model of Islamic education through Diniyyah which has been implemented in all public schools in Banda Aceh since 2011, started with elementary, junior and senior high school. The results showed that the implementation of Islamic curriculum in Banda Aceh through diniyyah been operating effectively and do not make the non-Muslim communities disrupted. The implementation of Islamic education through Diniyyah did not clash with the main curriculum because it was implemented in the afternoon. So, this should be one of the models of Islamic curriculum implementation in Indonesia, particularly in areas which Muslim is majority without denying the existence of minorities.

Virtually There: The Potential, Process and Problems of Using 360° Video in the Classroom
Authors: McKenzie Sophie , Rough Justin , Spence Aaron , Patterson Nick
Published: April 2019

Aim/Purpose: This paper presents an exploratory case study into using 360° videos to present small segments of lecture content for IT students in an Australian University. The aim of this study was to understand; what is the impact of incorporating 360° videos into class content for students and teaching staff? In this study the 360° videos are described as “learning atoms”. Learning atoms are short duration videos (1 to 5 minutes) captured in 360°.

Background: Within this paper we conducted experiments in the classroom using 360° videos to determine if they have an impact on student's feeling of presence with class content. Additionally, to follow up, how does the inclusion of 360° impact on the teaching experience.

Methodology: The methodology used in this study focused on both quantitative and qualita-tive aspects. Data was captured at the same time during the teaching period to address the research questions. In order to gauge the feeling of presence within the classroom a short survey was administered to students in the undergraduate IT class at the start (pre) and end (post) of the semester using the same questions to measure any change.

Contribution: The main contributions from this study were that we demonstrated there is a potential for providing an alternative ‘immersive’ content presentation for students. This alternative content took the form of 360° learning atoms, whereas further showed our nuance process for creating and publishing of these atoms.

Findings: The results show that for students, learning atoms can help improve the sense of presence, particularly for remote students, however the interactive experience can take student’s attention away from the lecturer. The results present potential for providing an alternative ‘immersive’ content presentation for students, however problems for uptake are present for both students and teachers, such as image capture quality and file size

Impact on Society: We foresee this approach as being a new approach to teaching students in higher education within online spaces to increase engagement and move towards having a richer virtual experience no matter the location.

Future Research: Future research will be conducted to resolve whether presence and engagement is supported by the inclusion of 360° videos in the classroom.
Küre Bir Dünyada İstikbâl-i Kıblenin İmkanı Üzerine
Authors: ARANGÜL Muammer
Published: April 2019

Bilindiği üzere, istikbâl-i kıble namazın şartlarından biridir. Allah Teâlâ Bakara sûresinin 144. âyetinde “فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ” buyurmak suretiyle namaz kılarken kıbleye yönelmeyi farz kılmıştır. Zikredilen âyette kıbleye yönelmenin mahiyetini belirleyen üç unsur vardır: Yüz, Mescid-i Haram ve şatr. Fıkıh literatürü incelendiğinde bunlardan her biri ile neyin kastedildiği üzerinde farklı görüşlerin ortaya çıktığı ve bu farklı görüşlere bağlı olarak da istikbâl-i kıblenin mahiyetinin farklılık arz ettiği görülecektir. Âyette ayrıca zikredilmese de namaz kılan kimsenin bulunduğu yer ile Mescid-i Haram’ın bulunduğu yer ve bunların birbiri karşısındaki konumu kıble meselesinde kritik bir öneme sahiptir. Özellikle dünyanın bir küre şeklinde oluşunun genel kabul gördüğü günümüzde bu unsur üzerinde daha dikkatli bir şekilde durulması gerektiği kanaatindeyiz. Zira zikredilen âyet klasik dönemde genel itibariyle ve görebildiğimiz kadarıyla dünyanın düz oluşu esas alınarak anlaşılmış, yorumlanmış ve dolayısıyla bu açıdan herhangi bir problem görülmemiştir. Modern dönemde ise dünyanın küre şeklinde olduğu fikri Müslümanlar arasında genel kabul görmüş, ancak bu fikrin kıble açısından ortaya çıkardığı problemler üzerinde yeterince durulmamıştır. Küre dünya modelinin kıble konusunda ortaya çıkardığı problemlerden ilki Kâbe’ye birden fazla rota üzerinden yönelmenin mümkün olması ve ne yapılırsa yapılsın kıble sayısının ikiden aşağıya düşürülememesidir. İkinci problem, Kâbe’ye ya da kıbleye gerçek anlamda yönelememektir; naslar ne kadar geniş yorumlanırsa yorumlansın küre dünya modelinde Kâbe’ye ya da kıbleye yönelmek sadece Kâbe’nin merkezinde bulunduğu yarımkürede mümkün olabilmektedir. Bu makalede küre bir dünya üzerinde kıbleye yönelmenin imkan ve keyfiyeti üzerinde durulacaktır.
Kazakistan Ortaöğretim Kurumlarında Din Eğitimini Olumsuz Yönde Etkileyen Faktörler
Authors: ERPAY İlyas
Published: April 2019

Bağımsızlık öncesi din eğitiminden yoksun bırakılmış olan Kazakistan halkının, bağımsızlığın ilk yılları ile birlikte dine karşı olan ilgisi artmıştır.  Bağımsızlığın bu ilk yıllarında ülkedeki misyoner sayısı ile misyonerlik faaliyetleri de hız kazanmıştır.  Gerek dine olan bu ilgi gerekse de misyonerlik faaliyetinin artışı ülkede, din ve din eğitimini önemli hale getirmiştir. Kazakistan için en önemli meselelerden biri laiklik çerçevesinde din devlet ilişkisini geliştirmek olarak görünmektedir. Bu bağlamda devlet, bağımsızlığın ilk yıllarında kendi haline bıraktığı din meselesine ilerleyen yıllarda müdahil olmuş, dinler ve mezheplerin birbirleriyle ve devletle olan ilişkilerini düzenlemekte önemli kararlar almış ve kanunlar çıkartmıştır. Kazakistan egemenliğini aldıktan sonra kendisini laik, demokratik, sosyal, din ve vicdan hürriyetine saygılı bir devlet olarak nitelendirmektedir. Ülkede anayasa ve kanunlar bu çerçevede oluşturulmuş, din ile devlet arasındaki ilişki bu temeller üzerine kurulmuştur.  Bu değerler aynı zamanda dini faaliyetler ve din eğitimi ile ilgili kanunların da alt yapısını oluşturmuştur. Kazakistan nüfusunun büyük oranı İslâm dini ile Hristiyanlığın  Ortodoks mezhebine mensuptur.  Ancak Kazakistan, diğer ulusların ve dinlerin de varlığını sürdürmekte olduğu, bu durumun bir zenginlik kaynağı olarak algılandığı çok uluslu ve çok dinli bir devlettir. Kazakistan Anayasası ve “Dini Hizmet ve Dini Kurumlar” kanunu, ülke içerisinde yaşayan çok çeşitli dini ve etnik gurup mensupları için en büyük güvence olmuştur. Bütün bunların neticesinde “din” “eğitim” perspektifinde ele alındığında ülkede din eğitimi, ortaöğretim kurumlarında “bütün dinlerin tarihini öğretme ve dini inançları tanıma” amacıyla da olsa yapılmaya başlanmıştır. Ancak ortaöğretim kurumlarında müstakil olarak, İslâm dininin öğretilmesi söz konusu değildir. Yüksek öğretim kurumlarında ise ilahiyatçı yetiştirilmesi için fakülteler ve bölümler açılmıştır. Bu çalışmada Kazakistan’daki dini durum ve ortaöğretimdeki din eğitimi incelenmiş, din eğitimini olumsuz yönde etkileyen etmenler ele alınarak, ortaya çıkan durum ile ilgili öneri ve gerekçeler sunulmuştur.
Din-Bilim İlişkisi ve Çatışmanın Araçsallığı
Authors: COŞKUN Cüneyt
Published: April 2019

Düşünce tarihinin en çetrefilli problemlerinden biri, din-bilim ilişkisidir. Bu ilişkinin özellikle klasik sekülarizmin inşasında önemli bir tartışma konusu olduğu ve bu tartışmaların yine sekülarizm lehine sonuçlandığı vakıadır. Özellikle beşerin tarihsel dönüm noktalarını, insanın entelektüel gelişimine endeksli büyü, din ve bilimden oluşan bir evrimsel silsile üzerinden değerlendiren etnolojik, antropolojik ve analojik bağlamlı evrimci teoriler, bu tartışmaya ciddi bir arka plan oluşturmuştur. Her iki kavramın ontolojik, epistemolojik ve metodolojik farklılıkları, din ve bilim ilişkisinin mutlak uyuşmazlığı için ana argümanlar olarak kabul edilmiştir. Çatışma tezinin sonuçları da bu perspektifin ürünüdür. Bu sonuçları en verimli şekilde kullananlar ise kuşkusuz, iktidar ve onun kurumları olmuştur. Bir başka ifadeyle çatışmanın iktidar için anlamı, kitleleri daha kolay yönetebilme ereğiyle uyumlu siyasi, ekonomik, toplumsal ve kültürel stratejilerle çekişmeyen ve çelişmeyen olaylar ve taraflar yaratmak için önemli bir aygıt olmasıyla doğrudan ilişkilidir. Bu makalenin amacı da bu iki olgunun hem ontolojik hem de epistemolojik içerikleri ve kaynakları dikkate alınarak, çatışma tezinin araçsallık, eklemlenme ve nihayetinde aldatmacaya dönüşme süreci, iktidar faktörü de göz ardı edilmeden, din ve bilim kavramlarının özgünlüğünden hareketle değerlendirmektir.

işletmelerin nihai amacı sadece kar elde etmek değil, aynı zamanda firma
değerini maksimum yapmaktır. Firma değeri maksimizasyonu, hem işletmenin hem de
işletme ile ilişkisi bulunan kişi ve kuruluşların menfaatine bir durumdur.

ile firma değeri arasındaki ilişkiyi önemli hale getirmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı,
BİST 30 Endeksi’ne kayıtlı işletmelerin kar payı dağıtım politikaları ile firma
değeri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemektir. İki değişken arasındaki ilişkinin
incelenmesinde Dumitrescu & Hurlin panel nedensellik testi kullanılmıştır.

politikaları ile firma değeri arasında herhangi bir ilişkiye rastlanamamıştır.
Bu sonuç, Müşteri Etkisi Teorisi’nin BİST 30 Endeksi’ne kayıtlı firmalar için
