LSTM-GRU Based Deep Learning Model with Word2Vec for Transcription Factors in Primates
Authors: ÖNCÜL Ali Burak
Published: March 2023

The study of the structures of proteins and the relationships of amino acids remains a challenging problem in biology. Although some bioinformatics-based studies provide partial solutions, some major problems remain. At the beginning of these problems are the logic of the sequence of amino acids and the diversity of proteins. Although these variations are biologically detectable, these experiments are costly and time-consuming. Considering that there are many unclassified sequences in the world, it is inevitable that a faster solution must be found. For this reason, we propose a deep learning model to classify transcription factor proteins of primates. Our model has a hybrid structure that uses Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) based Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) and Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) networks with Word2Vec preprocessing step. Our model has 97.96% test accuracy, 97.55% precision, 95.26% recall, 96.22% f1-score. Our model was also tested with 5-fold cross-validation and reached 97.42% result. In the prepared model, LSTM was used in layers with fewer units, and GRU was used in layers with more units, and it was aimed to make the model a model that can be trained and run as quickly as possible. With the added dropout layers, the overfitting problem of the model is prevented.

Published: March 2023

This study aims to seasonally examine run-of-river type hydroelectric power plants' ramp rates (generation changes) (RoRHPP). Turkey RoRHPP generations were obtained for this objective between 01 December 2020 and 01 December 2021. Obtained data are hourly resolution and belong to 560 plants. The total installed power of the plants used in work is 7897.06 MW. This study used histogram fields to examine ramp rates of 5%, 7.5%, and 10% of the installed power in 1, 3, and 6-hour periods. As a result of the investigations, the cumulative histogram areas of the ramps of 5% and above in 6 hours temporal periods of the spring, summer, autumn, and winter seasons were calculated as 39430.94, 22117.72, 17811.76, and 34914.32, respectively. When these ramps are evaluated according to their directions, the histogram areas of positive ramp (generation increase) in spring, summer, autumn, and winter are 20052.1, 10945.74, 9095.8, and 17303.19, respectively. The histogram areas of the negative ramps (reduction of generation) in spring, summer, autumn, and winter are 19378.84, 11171.98, 8715.96, and 17611.13, respectively. According to all these results, ramp events in Turkey's RoRHPP productions occurred the most in the spring. In addition, It was also concluded that positive ramp events occurred more in all seasons.
OBSTRÜKTİF UYKU APNESİ TESPİTİNDE POLİSOMNOGRAFİYE ALTERNATİF YENİ YÖNTEMLER
Authors: KARADÖL İsrafil
Published: March 2023

Son yıllarda beslenme alışkanlıklarına bağlı olarak ortaya çıkan aşırı kilo ve obeziteden dolayı obstrüktif uyku apnesinin yaygınlaştığı tahmin edilmektedir. Yaygınlaşan bu hastalığın tespit edilmemesi sonucunda felç, diyabet, kardiyovasküler bozukluk, sinir sistemi hastalıkları ve uykusuzluğa bağlı iş kazaları görülmektedir. Obstrüktif uyku apnesi teşhisinde kullanılan altın standart yöntem; uyku kliniklerinde yapılan polisomnografi testleridir. Polisomnografi testinde, kişi bir gece hastanede misafir edilerek fizyolojik sinyalleri izlenmektedir. Fakat bu süreç, maliyetli ve toplumun geneli için erişilebilir değildir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, polisomnografi testine alternatif olarak geliştirilen yeni yöntemleri incelenmek ve bu yöntemlerin performanslarını değerlendirmektir. Yapılan inceleme ve değerlendirme sonucunda bir veya birkaç fizyoljik sinyal ile obstrüktif uyku apnenin tespit edilebileceği görülmüştür. Bu yöntemler hastaya temas gerektiren ve gerektirmeyen olarak sınıflandırılarak detaylı incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, obstrüktif uyku apne teşhisi için yapılan makaleleri mühendislik temelli değerlendirdiğimizde makine öğrenmesine dayalı derin öğrenmenin ön plana çıktığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca obstrüktif uyku apne tespiti için kullanılan diğer yöntemlere kıyasla, hastaya temas gerektirmeyen yöntemlerin yetersiz olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
A NEW IMAGE ENCRYPTION METHOD BASED ON A 6D HYPERCHAOTIC MAP AND GENETIC OPERATORS
Authors: DEMİRTAS Mehmet
Published: March 2023

This paper presents a novel and secure image encryption method. The plain image’s pixels are confused using the N-point crossover operation of genetic algorithms. Randomly paired rows and columns are determined by the two state variables of a six-dimensional hyperchaotic map. The number of crossover points, which are calculated by the two other state variables of the hyperchaotic map, differ from each other for each row or column pair. The crossover positions are specified according to the number of crossover points with the help of the last two state variables. The proposed algorithm generates the diffusion stage’s encryption key using the SHA-256 hash value of the plain image. Mutation and crossover operators are implemented using the 16-bit subblocks of the 256-bit hash value. The scrambled image’s pixels are altered with the generated encryption key and previously encrypted pixels. Keyspace and sensitivity, histogram, correlation, information entropy, differential, data loss, noise attack, and computational time analyzes are performed to test the safety and effectiveness of the encryption method. The experiments and simulation results show that the proposed encryption technique is highly secure and efficient since it can resist various attacks.
Interstitial electrical nerve stimulation in combination with perineural injections of corticosteroids in the treatment of paresthetic meralgia
Authors: Al-Zamil Mustafa Kh. , Kulikova Natalia G. , Vasilieva Ekaterina S.
Published: March 2023

BACKGROUND: Paresthetic meralgia is a neuropathy caused by compression, pinching or stretching of the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve between the inguinal ligament and the anterior superior iliac spine.
AIM: to study the effectiveness of interstitial electrical nerve stimulation in combination with perineural corticosteroid injections in the treatment of paresthetic meralgia.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We observed 30 patients with bilateral paresthetic meralgia. All patients suffered from numbness, tingling, and pain in the lateral thighs. Our study included only patients with bilateral lesions and severe pain. Patients were divided into 3 groups. The first group ― 10 patients underwent drug therapy (control group). The 2nd group included 10 patients who, in addition to drug therapy, underwent a course of perineural corticosteroid injections. The third group included 10 patients who, in addition to drug therapy, underwent a course perineural corticosteroid injections and interstitial electrical nerve stimulation.
RESULTS: The obtained results prove the high efficacy of perineural corticosteroid injections in the treatment of paresthetic meralgia in comparison with the exclusive use of medical therapy. At the same time, the analgesic effect increased by 2.17 times, the regression of positive sensory symptoms increased by 1.2 times, sensitivity improved by 2 times and the quality of life of patients in the physical and mental spheres significantly improved. The use of interstitial electrical nerve stimulation after perineural corticosteroid injections exceeded the effectiveness of perineural corticosteroid injections in reducing pain by 98%, regressing positive sensory symptoms by 63%, reducing the zone of hypesthesia by 2 times and improving the quality of life in the physical and mental components of SF-36 by an average of 2 times.
CONCLUSIONS: It is recommended to perform perineural corticosteroid injections in the treatment of patients with paresthetic meralgia, followed by the use of interstitial electrical nerve stimulation.
Propagation of a shear crack on a nonplanar fault: A method of calculation
Authors: Bouchon Michel , Streiff Dorothée
Published: March 2023

We present a method of calculation to simulate numerically the growth and propagation of shear cracks in an elastic medium. The problem is formulated in terms of integral equations written along the crack contour. These boundary integral equations are discretized in both horizontal wavenumber and space and are solved in the frequency domain, at each time step. The earthquake model that we consider starts with a nucleating crack where slip occurs instantaneously at some arbitrary time. The shear stress is calculated at the tip of the crack, and, if and when it reaches the static friction, the crack tip propagates and the shear stress drops to the dynamic friction level. The boundary integral equation system is then solved for the new crack, and this scheme is repeated until the rupture stops or reaches the extremity of the fault. The method is naturally free of singularities. It can be applied to the case of a nonplanar fault. A few examples of simulation are presented to illustrate the method.
Effects of weighting functions on Maslov uniform seismograms: A robust weighting method
Authors: Huang X. , West G. F.
Published: March 2023

In principle, Maslov theory provides a uniform asymptotic solution for modeling wave fields in a generally inhomogeneous medium by blending ray theory and Maslov transform theory. However, in a real calculation, it is still not clear how choice of the weighting functions that select the ray and Maslov transform solutions will affect the accuracy of Maslov seismograms.

To answer this question, we have investigated two weighting functions: One is the hyperbolic function suggested by Brown (1994), and the other is a trigonometric function we propose. The former relates the weights to the local slope of the Lagrangian manifold cross section, reflecting the opportunity for the ray solution or the Maslov solution to contribute to the wave-field construction. But the transition level of the hyperbolic function is controlled by an artificial coefficient. We found that the hyperbolic function performs accurately, particularly when a wave front is only smoothly bent, but there exists a tolerance range for the value of the coefficient. Outside this range, errors of caustic type or pseudocaustic type arise. Because the range is limited, and because it changes for different modelings, use of the hyperbolic function can become troublesome in intensive modelings where it is impractical to have human supervision.

The trigonometric function that we propose works differently. Caustic and pseudocaustic points are located by a root-finding algorithm, and trigonometric weighting functions control switching of the two solutions in a symmetric way between pairs of caustics and pseudocaustics. In most cases, it will provide an accurate result automatically, and it should be considered first for intensive modelings such as those needed in controlled source seismology.
A new map of the geographic extent of the Socorro mid-crustal magma body
Authors: Balch Robert S. , Hartse Hans E. , Sanford Allan R. , Lin Kuo-wan
Published: March 2023

For 35 years, strong reflected phases from the sill-like, mid-crustal Socorro magma body (SMB) have been observed on microearthquake seismograms recorded in the central Rio Grande rift, New Mexico. In 1979, the lateral extent of the SMB was estimated at 1700 km2 by mapping reflection points for 220 observed SzS arrivals. We have remapped the magma body using 697 PzP, 2169 SzP, and 2589 SzS reflections observed on seismograms recorded between 1975 and 1995 by New Mexico Tech seismic networks.

These data indicate that the SMB covers an area greater than 3400 km2. By comparing the distribution of observed reflection points with the distribution of all possible reflection points, limits can be set for the northern and southern boundaries of the SMB. The ∼80 km north-south extent of the SMB falls just inside a ∼100-km north-south range of enhanced seismicity near Socorro. This area, the Socorro seismic anomaly (SSA), covers ∼5000 km2 and has the same elliptical shape as the outline of the SMB based on observed reflection points. The close spatial relation between the SSA and the mid-crustal magma body along their northern and southern boundaries suggests that the observed seismicity can be used to place limits on the eastern and western boundaries of the magma body. Using the distribution of earthquakes within the SSA over the last 34 years, the maximum east-west extent of the SMB is <60 km, our reflection based value is ∼50 km.

Our data indicates that the upper surface of the magma body displays no regional dip. Considering timing errors, maximum possible relief on the magma body surface is ±0.50 km.
S-wave site-response estimates using horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios
Authors: Castro R. R. , Mucciarelli M. , Pacor F. , Petrungaro C.
Published: March 2023

We tested the hypothesis involved in determining the dynamic response of soils using spectral ratios between horizontal and vertical components of ground motion. This hypothesis proposes that the vertical component of motion contains mainly the source effect and is approximately insensitive to site amplifications. We used the vertical component of strong-motion records from earthquakes of the region of Friuli, Italy, to evaluate the site response for different geologic conditions. S-wave source functions of the events used were first retrieved from the acceleration records using a generalized inversion in the frequency domain; then, an average site response was calculated for each site analyzed. The resulting site functions show small vertical amplifications for most of the sites (within a factor of 2). This result confirms the validity of the method to estimate S-wave site responses. However, when the S-wave arrivals are contaminated by surface waves, the vertical amplification may exceed the uncertainty expected by the spectral ratio technique.
Regional phase development of the Non-proliferation Experiment within the western United States
Authors: Tinker Mark Andrew , Wallace Terry C.
Published: March 2023

To effectively monitor a Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, seismologists must be able to confidently detect and identify low-yield explosions. This requires the use of short-period regional phases, which can be extremely complicated. The Non-Proliferation Experiment (NPE) was a low-yield chemical explosion detonated at the Nevada Test Site (NTS) and recorded at more than 50 broadband seismic stations located throughout the western United States. These data were used to investigate the development of Lg and Pn, two seismic phases used in regional discriminants. The frequency-dependent attenuation for Lg recorded at 43 stations is described by the relation QLg (vertical) = 238 f1.28. The amplitude decay for Pn recorded at 38 stations is proportional to Δ−(1.29 + 0.05f) for the frequency window of 1 to 6 Hz. After removing the effects of distance and attenuation, we found the values of the spectral ratio Lg (4-6)/(2-4) to group according to the geologic terrain associated with the path traveled. Stations located within the Basin and Range had lower ratio values than stations located outside the Basin and Range. However, for the spectral ratio Pn (2-4)/(4-6), geologic terrain had an indirect effect. Pn is affected by Moho structure associated with the backazimuth, causing an azimuthal dependence. Of course, Moho structure can be a function of geologic terrain. Furthermore, the Pn arrival may be large or small, independent of azimuth. The values of the discriminant phase ratio Pn (1-2)/Lg (2-4) have an order of magnitude more scatter than Lg/Lg or Pn/Pn. Nonetheless, the values are both a function of geologic terrain (the Lg contribution) as well as Moho structure (Pn contribution).

Published: March 2023

Introduction. The present research is dedicated to an urgent problem of investigating the stress experience and adaptation by students studying in a multicultural environment of modern universities. In the course of studying the resources for stress resistance and adaptation, the authors analysed Chinese and Russian students’ value priorities and value realisation based on the concept of multiple self. The relevance of the chosen approach is based on the existence of intrapersonal value conflict experienced by students studying in the multicultural university environment and interaction with representatives of other cultures.Aim. The current research aims to conduct cross-cultural analysis of values of the multiple self and the reflective choice of Chinese students in the context of stress experience and adaption to stressfulsituations in a new culture, and students from Russia studying in the environment of multicultural interaction.Methodology and research methods. The authors used a comparative analysis of the significance of values and their realisation among representatives of different cultures in the situation of experiencing stress and adaptation to stressful situations in the multicultural educational environment.Results and scientific novelty. The study allowed the authors to analyse the factors of successful adaptation to a different culture on the sample of Chinese and Russian students studying in the same multicultural environment. The research revealed values specific for students from different culture groups with a high level of adaptation to the multicultural environment of a modern university: health, art, career, power, education for students from China, freedom and friendship for students from Russia. Cultural-specific differences were found in the successful realisation of personal value standards in the field of love (more achievable for the group of Chinese students) and freedom (more achievable for Russian students). Cultural groups with varying degrees of adaptation to the multicultural environment of the university were identified and analysed. The obtained results on specifics of students’ adaptation to the multicultural educational environment could be used as the basis for a differential approach to further cross-cultural studies.Practical significance. The analysed specifics of the reflection on the value priorities from different substructures of the multiple self and the established differences in the realisation of personal value standards of students from China and Russia can be used in the consulting practice of cultural adaptation centres.

Published: March 2023

The spread of Pseudomonas aeruginosa is difficult to control with disinfectants and antibiotics due to the resistance found in P. aeruginosa isolates. The study investigated the susceptibility profile and detect extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) resistance genes in the Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from post-operative wound infection. Wound swabs were cultured on MacConkey and sub-cultured on Cetrimide agar. The isolates were identified base on their macroscopic and microscopic characteristics as well as 16SrRNA. Disc diffusion technique was used to check the susceptibility profile of the isolates and the extended spectrum beta-lactam (ESBL) producers were determined by growing the isolates on Mueller Hinton agar plate in the presence of amoxyclav. 40 positive isolates were recovered in the study with 21 isolates been multi-drug resistance (MDR). Before plasmid curing, Streptomycin, ceftazidime, Augmentin, and Gentamicin has the highest resistance rate of 80% (n=32), 60% (n=24), 60% (n=24) and 60% (n=24) respectively. However, after plasmid curing, the result showed reduction in resistance rates. Streptomycin and ceftazidime showed high reduction in resistance from 80% to 25% and from 60 to 12.7% respectively indicating that resistance was plasmid-mediated. Pseudomonas aeruginosa F23 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa S15 isolates shown to possess both the plcH and bla PER genes with bands amplicons size of 307bp and 520bp respectively. Antibiotic susceptibility pattern after plasmid curing showed that 45% of the isolates produces beta-lactamase enzymes i.e., 18 out of 40 isolates were inactive to all beta-lactam group of antibiotics.

Gobierno corporativo, diversidad y ética en el sector bancario
Authors: Trujillo-Ponce Antonio , Baselga Pascual Laura
Published: March 2023

El presente trabajo expone la relación entre las características asociadas a la mejor supervisión del gobierno corporativo de las entidades financieras y sus efectos tanto en el rendimiento económico, como en su reputación ética. En concreto se analiza, por un lado, el impacto de las políticas de Responsabilidad Social (RS) y en general ligadas a una mayor calidad del gobierno corporativo con una mirada más centrada en la diversidad, en el rendimiento económico del sector bancario. Por otro lado, se muestra la evidencia existente en la relación entre el “buen gobierno” y la responsabilidad ética de las instituciones financieras. La mayor parte de trabajos académicos indican una relación positiva entre aquellas variables, ligadas a una gobernanza más efectiva, vinculadas principalmente a características del consejo de administración (tamaño, independencia, experiencia y diversidad), y a la reputación ética de las instituciones financieras. Sin embargo, la relación entre las características del gobierno y el rendimiento económico presenta resultados contradictorios en la literatura empírica. La relevancia de este análisis reside en aportar cierta luz al inconcluso debate académico entre responsabilidad social y su contribución al valor empresarial. Esta discusión resulta de especial interés en el sector bancario dado que la evidencia empírica es significativamente menor que en otros sectores, y porque permitiría testar los efectos de la nueva regulación surgida como consecuencia de la crisis financiera de 2008.

Authors: Stokłosa Łukasz , Szpara Krzysztof , Wójcik Joanna
Published: March 2023

Sustainable tourism development and digital transformations are among the key issues that should be taken into account when preparing contemporary tourism degree programmes. In order to offer an innovative curriculum, systems thinking and knowledge from the intersection of many areas including tourism, geography, information and communication technology, management, teaching methodology and psychology are required. The adaptation of curricula should also take into account the experience of universities outside Poland which have often successfully implemented programmes covering sustainable development issues for many years and have feedback on the satisfaction of both graduates and employers. This article presents the results of the work of an international consortium of universities from Germany, Poland, Serbia and Switzerland which developed a course programme on ‘ICT as a tool for the development and promotion of sustainable tourism’ that can be adapted by a wide range of organisations such as universities, NGOs and tourism training companies.

Celtycki miecz z Małej Wsi nad Wartą
Authors: Urbański Marek
Published: March 2023

Na wielkim cmentarzysku w Małej Wsi niedaleko Sieradza autor odkrył w 1980 r. bogato wyposażony grób wojownika z celtyckim mieczem. Grób otrzymał nr 27, a po weryfikacji nr 508.

Miecz był w żelaznej pochwie z okuciami na krawędziach i ze wzmacniającymi wąsami, a zakończonej trzewikiem z guzikowatą końcówką. Długość całkowita wynosi 106 cm. Sztych ostrołukowy, głownia w przekroju soczewkowata ma długość 84 cm, szerokość 6–6,5 cm. Trzpień do rękojeści o długości 16 cm był zakończony zgrubieniem. Rękojeść od miecza oddzielał ruchomy dzwonowaty jelec.

Oprócz miecza w skład wyposażenia wchodziły: grot włóczni, tok, umbo, fibula, nóż, pochewka, nity, gwoździe, pierścień, pęseta i inne – wszystko z żelaza. Znaleziono także ok. 660 fragmentów ręcznie lepionych naczyń glinianych. Długie przedmioty metalowe były zorientowane wzdłuż linii W–E. Taki zestaw zabytków wskazuje na celtyckie pochodzenie zmarłego lub silne kontakty z celtyckim środowiskiem wojskowym.

Miecz można zaklasyfikować do typu I/1 P. Łuczkiewicza, a trzpień do typu B. Pochwa należy do typu V Tomasza Bochnaka. Taki zestaw T. Bochnak i L. Tyszler określają jako broń celtycką, datowana na fazę A2 lub A2/A3. Okaz miecza z Małej Wsi można traktować jako kolejny dowód na pobyt celtyckich Bojów w centralnej Polsce.

However, the discussion's result proves that lexicon shift exists on the parents address terms to obtain different, unique and higher prestige values. Another result shows the preservation of grandparents address terms. Several factors that influence the lexicon shift are the use of standard Indonesian or English, the appearance of religious terms, the modification of two language terms, and the modification of a single term. Furthermore, the kinship address terms reflect the higher identity that some of the participants want to achieve.
CONTESTING IGNORANCE AND REMEMBRANCE: THE IDENTITY (RE)CONSTRUCTION OF TURKISH CHARACTERS IN THE BASTARD OF ISTANBUL

Published: March 2023

The issue of identity (re)construction and its relation to social memory has been raised in The Bastard of Istanbul, written by one of the most prolific novelists Elif Shafak. The novel narrates how Turkey attempts to blot out people’s collective remembrance upon the violent history of the Armenian Genocide. The story depicts the issue by showing individuals with contradictory identities of Turks and Armenian Americans who live in a dilemmatic intersection of ignoring and keeping such a memory. This article describes the identity (re)construction among Istanbulites, including Turks and Armenians, as two competing (id)entities, as depicted in The Bastard of Istanbul. The study is a literary criticism that focuses on the social issue of identity (re)construction. It applies Castells' (2010) theory of identity construction and Misztal's idea of social memory (2003). This study reveals that Turkish-ness identity (re)construction of the Istanbulites characters comprises three significant components of legitimation, resistance, and projection that interfere with the competing identities of Turks and Armenians.

The occurrence of phonological interference can be found if the native is able to acquire multilingually. The research aims to reveal the phonological aspects causing phonological interference and establish the strategies for avoiding interference. Students of the English literature department that take English Language Teaching (ELT) and speak Javanese, Indonesia, and English language become the primary sources of this research. The method used in this research is a descriptive qualitative as research design and the theory of Geoffry S. Nathan for the analysis. Meanwhile, Marsono’s theory is employed to compare it with vocal, diphthong, and consonant in Javanese language. The finding shows that phonological interference comes from a segmental aspect, totaling errors up to 99 and 189 in the suprasegmental aspect. In the segmental aspect, errors of English pronunciation were found on the assimilation of speech implementation based on vowel, diphthong, and consonant. Meanwhile, in the suprasegmental aspect, word stress on the second syllable with two, three, and four-syllable words become the most errors. Therefore, phonological interference can be avoided by doing more individual practice in looking for difficult vocabularies and using English as the main language in doing enjoyable activities such as listening to music and watching movies.

Request is a kind of activity that is never separated from humans as social beings. It is also the form of interactional activities in our daily life. People deliver the request strategies depending on their identity, especially their culture. This study aims to explain the use of request strategies by two different cultures, Indonesian and Australian. Indonesia follows the eastern culture, while Australia follows the western culture. Both cultures are interesting objects of the research about request strategies. To define the strategy used by both cultures, the researcher has chosen the theory of request strategies by Blum-Kulka and Olshtain. After applying the theory to the data, the researcher found that both cultures resulted in different direct strategies. However, in other levels of directness, Indonesia and Australia have the same result.

Introdução: A ansiedade face aos testes é um importante fator condicionante da performance escolar. Contudo, são escassos os estudos que procuram identificar quais as estratégias eficazes na sua melhoria. Este estudo teve como objetivo testar a eficácia de uma intervenção cognitivo-comportamental na redução da ansiedade face aos testes em alunos do ensino secundário.Material e Métodos: Estudo experimental, aleatorizado por clusters (turmas), controlado, sem ocultação, com dois grupos paralelos, com alunos do 10.º ano da Escola Secundária Alves Martins em Viseu, Portugal. Os alunos foram aleatorizados ao nível da turma para receber uma combinação de técnicas cognitivas e comportamentais, de mindfulness, psicoeducação e técnicas de relaxamento, ou para um grupo controlo sem intervenção. Os níveis de ansiedade dos participantes foram medidos através do Questionário de Ansiedade face aos Testes. A análise do efeito da intervenção foi realizada na base de intenção de tratar ao nível da turma recorrendo a modelos de efeitos mistos multinível e modelação bayesiana.Resultados: A intervenção teve um efeito significativo na redução da ansiedade face aos testes (d = 0,81, IC 95% 0,45;1,17, fator de Bayes = 31,3). Pertencer ao sexo masculino revelou-se um fator de risco independente para uma menor redução nos níveis de ansiedade. O efeito da intervenção foi mais pronunciado na redução da preocupação face aos testes (d = 0,76, IC 95% 0,41;1,11, fator de Bayes = 19,9) quando comparado com a emocionalidade (d = 0,63, IC 95% 0,31;0,95, fator de Bayes = 6,6).Conclusão: Uma intervenção especificamente desenhada para reduzir a ansiedade face aos testes, usando uma combinação de técnicas cognitivas e comportamentais de mindfulness, psicoeducação e técnicas de relaxamento, foi eficaz na redução dos níveis de ansiedade.Registo do Estudo: Estudo registado a posteriori (registo retrospetivo) em ClinicalTrials.gov com o número NCT05481099 em 01/08/2022.
