Published: September 2023

The present study aimed to obtain good quality croissants from wholegrain wheat flour using baking sourdoughs prepared from single starter cultures of Pediococcus acidilactici 02P108 (PA), Pediococcus pentosaceus SM2D17 (PP) and Enteroccocus durans 09B374 (ED) as an attempt to overcome the usual negative effects of the wholegrain flour on the characteristics of this specific bakery product group. Results showed that the addition of sourdough in the wholegrain wheat dough had similar performance as that of conventional baker’s yeast regarding the rheological characteristics of dough. The dynamic viscosity of all sourdough-leavened samples remained higher than that of the control sample at all tested shear rates. A positive effect of sourdoughs used on the development of baking dough was observed in terms of specific volume improvement, higher degree of softening, and reduced baking loss. However, these positive effects were found as strain-specific. The use of Enteroccocus durans 09B374-made sourdough showed the most distinguished sensory characteristics and the best results regarding croissant staling during storage. The study demonstrated that sourdoughs used in wholemeal wheat croissant dough had positive effect on the quality characteristics and shelf-life of products. However, strain selection proved as of key importance for the successful production of wholemeal wheat croissants.

Motivational Study Conditions Scale: Turkish Adaptation, Validity and Reliability Study
Authors: USLU Öner
Published: September 2023

Problems concerning student motivation have been setting important barriers to education. However, no measurement tool has been found that can determine students’ evaluations of motivational study conditions in the Turkish literature. The present study aimed to perform the adaptation of the Motivational Study Conditions Scale developed in German by Kauper et al., (2010) into Turkish. University students (n=692) participated in the study. Exploratory factor analysis was performed over the data collected in the first step (n=352) and confirmatory factor analysis over the data collected afterwards (n=340). The values obtained from factor analyses ranged within acceptable limits. Since the alpha internal consistency coefficients were between .69 and .88, the reliability of the scale was found appropriate. Coefficients of composite reliability were also seen to be consistent with the alpha reliability values. As for construct validity, discriminant validity in the context of divergent validity and convergent validity were examined, and acceptable values were obtained. It was concluded that the Turkish form of the scale was a valid and reliable measurement tool.

Authors: BÜYÜKKIDIK Serap , İNAL Hatice
Published: September 2023

This study aimed to investigate the parameters estimation of item response theory (IRT) and their reliability in the context of binary data across multiple groups derived from the same population. Within the scope of the research, 2017 (April) mathematics subtest of the Transition from Primary to Secondary Education exam (TPSEE) was used. The dataset encompassed 7500 students as a single-sample subgroup and 3750 students distributed across two subgroups. In the research, IRT assumptions were examined first. After meeting the assumptions, item and ability estimations were performed with 1PLM, 2PLM, 3PLM, and 4PLM for dichotomous data. When the model data fits were examined, it was found that the best fit was obtained with 3PLM in all conditions. It was observed that the item parameters did not differ significantly as the sample changed. The a and b parameters differ according to the different IRT models. While there is a partial difference between the ability parameters as the samples change, there are also differences as the models change. Minor differences have been observed among the ability parameters obtained through ability estimation methods (Expected A Posteriori (EAP) and Maximum A Posteriori (MAP)). The marginal reliability coefficients were similar in all conditions. It is recommended that researchers perform parameter estimation with which have the best model data fit out of 3PLM or 4PLM to provide more information while performing analysis in IRT.

A Novel Measure for Soft Power: Perceived Soft Power Scale for International Students
Authors: ARSLAN Kürşat , SEZGİN Ferudun
Published: September 2023

Soft power is a significant contemporary notion of power observed in multiple ways that forge effective international diplomacy that accounts for co-opting, persuasion, and creating a sphere of influence despite coercive ways of power. Soft power refers to the ability to persuade, to create an appeal and is considered an asset in cultivating global influence in multiple terms. The potential soft power of higher education institutions (HEIs) contextualizes the soft power construct into attraction, satisfaction, and the expectation of a favorable decision and reflects an increased likelihood of diplomatic success through international students as para-diplomats. To this end, the study provides an account of the development of a new multidimensional construct measure of the potential soft power of HEIs. The 26-item Perceived Soft Power Scale for International Students (PESPSIS) explores the process and the outcome aspects of soft power, providing a valid and reliable instrument based on international students’ perceptions of the potential soft power of HEIs. Findings from the study involving 230 international students affiliated with a Turkish public university demonstrate that the PESPSIS has acceptable internal reliability and construct validity. The results also indicate a 3-factor structure consisting of 26 items, as attraction, satisfaction, and expectation of a favorable decision, accounting for 54.24% of the total variance explained. It is suggested that an instrument such as the PESPSIS aligns more closely with the conceptualization of the soft power of HEIs and provides a valid construct measure of soft power relevant to research and practice in university student populations.

Published: September 2023

This study aims to examine the relationships between supportive school culture, teacher job satisfaction and teacher willingness to connect. A total of 312 teachers working in Ankara participated. The study data were gathered through the School Culture Scale, Social Network Tendency Scale and Job Satisfaction Scale. Structural equation modelling (SEM) technique was used to determine the mediating role of teacher willingness to connect in the relationship between supportive school culture and teacher job satisfaction. The results of the study indicated that there are positive and significant relationships between independent and dependent variables. Moreover, supportive school culture seems to predict teacher willingness to connect and job satisfaction positively and significantly. In addition, teacher willingness to connect is a positive and significant predictor of job satisfaction. Finally, it was determined that the mediating role of teacher willingness to connect in the relationship between support culture and teacher job satisfaction was statistically significant. The results of the study statistically supported the theoretical model.
Open path theory: Pattern and structure in prime numbers
Authors: Diego Real
Published: September 2023

The Open Path theory, supported by experimental data, is presented. The main hypothesis proposes that Prime Numbers's positions are determined by previous Prime Numbers as well as their spacing, in a complex, but deterministic way. The concepts of Open Path, Perfect Space, and Primorial Perfect Space are introduced. The Open Path theory can predict prime gaps of any minimum predetermined size. Two rudimentary algorithms based on this theory are presented. The first algorithm returns a sample (a few hundredth of numbers) containing 25 % of Prime Numbers at distances above 1011. The mirrored sample gives a similar percentage of Prime Numbers. The algorithm execution time is of a few milliseconds. The second algorithm presented determines if a number belonging to a Perfect Space is a composite number or a Prime Number.

Published: September 2023

The aim of the study is to examine the achievement of secondary school students in mathematics courses based on psychological resilience and academic grit. In the research, descriptive survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was used. In this context, data were collected from 204 students studying in secondary schools in the district of Görükle, Bursa, in the spring term of the 2022-2023 academic year. As a data collection tool “Brief Resilience Scale” adapted by Dogan (2015), "Academic Grit Scale" adapted by Sağkal et al. (2020) was used. In this study, students' mathematics achievement was determined according to the grades in the mathematics course at the end of the semester. While analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test were used for group comparisons, correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between psychological resilience and academic grit levels. According to the research results, it was seen that the psychological resilience levels of the students were medium and their academic grit levels were medium. Although there was no statistically significant difference in the evaluations made in the context of mathematics course achievement, it was observed that the achievement of the course increased as the levels of psychological resilience and academic grit increased. In terms of different variables, it was seen that academic grit levels did not differ according to gender. It was determined that the psychological resilience levels showed a statistically significant difference according to the gender variable and the psychological resilience of male students was higher. It was observed that the levels of psychological resilience and academic grit did not differ according to grade levels. t was determined that there was a positive and moderate relationship between the mathematics course achievement of secondary school students and their levels of resilience and academic grit, and a positive and moderate relationship between their levels of resilience and academic grit.

Ruptured giant fusiform aneurysm in an infant: Case report and review of the literature.
Authors: Panagopoulos Dimitrios , Gavra Maro , Boviatsis Efstathios
Published: September 2023

Background: Intracranial aneurysms are exceedingly rare in neonates, accounting for less than 2% of all relevant cases that occur during the first decade of life. More precisely, intracranial aneurysms in children (less than 18 years old) are rarely been recorded, and their epidemiology is poorly investigated. Details about this pathology in this specific population are lacking. Because of the scarcity of this entity along with the peculiar characteristics of this patient group, the treatment of aneurysms of the cerebral circulation of these patients is challenging. The prevalence of Intracranial aneurysms in children is much lower than in adults· apart from that, several differences exist, centered on their etiology, demographic variables, aneurysm location, aneurysm morphological characteristics, clinical presentation, and outcome in pediatric and adult intracranial aneurysms. We describe the case of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and extra-axial hemorrhage in an infant, as well as the review of the relevant current literature. Case description: We report the case of a three months old infant who was admitted to our hospital due to episodes of vomiting, associated with loss of consciousness and an epileptic ictus. An MRI-MRA scan and a digital subtraction angiography were immediately performed, which revealed the presence of a giant fusiform aneurysm near the origin of the right anterior cerebral artery. Because of the location and shape of the aneurysmal sac, the ipsilateral internal carotid artery was totally occluded with detachable coils. At follow-up, the child experienced normal psychomotor development with no motor deficit. Conclusions: Intracranial aneurysms should be considered in the differential diagnosis of infants and neonates who present with acute raised intracranial pressure. Even though rupture of an intracranial aneurysm in this age group is rare, subarachnoid hemorrhage is the most common mode of presentation. Intracranial aneurysms are frequently larger than 10 mm and located on the middle cerebral artery. The treatment could be surgical or endovascular, depending on the characteristics of the aneurysm. Seizures and cranial nerve involvement are the most common presenting features in children. The most commonly encountered sites of origin for such aneurysms are the posterior circulation, along with the internal carotid artery bifurcation. Current literature and case series suggest that there is increased incidence of giant, posttraumatic, and mycotic aneurysms in children. Based on the most recently published data, the treatment of ruptured and unruptured pediatric aneurysms is related with an increased incidence of an uneventful outcome, which reaches 95% in the current series. Pediatric intracranial aneurysms are more commonly encountered in male patients and have a predilection for the terminal ICA bifurcation.

A Generalization of Burr Type XII Distribution with Properties, Copula and Modeling Symmetric and Skewed Real Data Sets
Authors: Khalil Mohamed G. , Ali Emadeldin I. A.
Published: September 2023

A new generalization of Burr type XII model is introduced and studied. The genesis of the new model is based on the family of Cordeiro et al. (2016). The new model generalizes at least eight important sub-models. The new density can be unimodal, symmetric and left skewed. Some useful properties related to the new model are derived. The Clayton Copula-based construction is used to generate many bivariate and multivariate type distributions. Graphically, we performed the simulation experiments to assess of the finite sample behavior of the estimations.

Kumaraswamy Esscher Transformed Laplace Distribution: Properties, Application and Extensions
Authors: George Dais , Rimsha H.
Published: September 2023

In this article, we introduce a new generalized family of Esscher transformed Laplace distribution, namely the Kumaraswamy Esscher transformed Laplace distribution. We study the various properties of the distribution including the survival function, hazard rate function, cumulative hazard rate function and reverse hazard rate function. The parameters of the distribution are estimated using the maximum likelihood method of estimation. A real application of this distribution on breaking stress of carbon fibres is also considered. Further, we introduce and study the exponentiated and transmuted exponentiated Kumaraswamy Esscher transformed Laplace distributions.
Approximate MLEs for the location and scale parameters of the Poisson-half-logistic distribution
Authors: Niaparast Mehrdad , Esmaeili Leila
Published: September 2023

Recently, the application of compound distributions has increased due to the flexibility in fitting to actual data in various fields such as economics, insurance, etc. Poisson-half-logistic distribution is one of these distributions with an increasing-constant hazard rate that can be used in parallel systems and complementary risk models. Because of the complexity of the form of this distribution, it is not possible to obtain classical parameter estimates (such as MLE) by the analytical method for the location and scale parameters. We present a simple way of deriving explicit estimators by approximating the likelihood equations appropriately. This paper presents AMLE (Approximate MLE) method to obtain the location and scale parameters estimation. Using simulation, we show that this method is as efficient as the maximum likelihood estimators (MLEs), we obtain the variance of estimators from the inverse of the observed Fisher information matrix, and we see that when sample size increases bias and variance of these estimators, MSEs of parameters decrease. Finally, we present a numerical example to illustrate the methods of inference developed here.

Panel data is commonly used for the numerical response variables, while the literature for forecasting categorical variables on the panel data structure is still challenging to find. Forecasting is important because it is helpful for government policies. This study aimed to forecast multiclass or categorical variables on the panel data structure. The proposed forecasting models were autoregressive multinomial logit and autoregressive C5.0. The strategy applied so that the two models could be used for forecasting was to add autoregressive effects and fixed predictor variables such as location, time, strata, and month of observations. The autoregressive effect  was assumed to be a fixed effect and treated as a dummy variable. The data used was the category of land conditions through The Area Sampling Frame (ASF) survey conducted by the BPS-Statistics Indonesia. The evaluation of both models was based on classification and forecasting performance. Classification performance was obtained by dividing the dataset into 75% training data for modeling and 25% test data for validation and then repeated 200 times. The classification results showed that the autoregressive C5.0 accuracy was 86.48%, while the autoregressive multinomial logit was 83.97%. A comparison of forecasting performance was obtained by dividing the data into training and testing based on the time sequence. The result showed that the forecasting performance was worse than the classification performance. Autoregressive C5.0 had an accuracy of 77.43%, while autoregressive multinomial logit had 77.77%.

In this work, we suggest an analytic technique with triangular fuzzy and triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers to compute the membership functions of considerable state-executing proportion in Erlang service models. The inter-entry rate, which is Poisson, and the admin (service) rate, which is Erlang, are both fuzzy-natured in this case, with FEk designating the Erlang probabilistic deviation with k exponentially phase. The numeric antecedents are shown to validate the model's plausibility, FM/FEk/1. A contextual inquiry is also carried out, comparing individual fuzzy figures. Intuitionistic fuzzy queueing models that are comprehensible are more categorical than fuzzy queueing models. Expanding the fuzzy queuing model to an intuitionistic fuzzy environment can boost the implementation of the queuing model. The purpose of this study is to assess the performance of a single server Erlang queuing model with infinite capacity using fuzzy queuing theory and intuitionistic fuzzy queuing theory. The fuzzy queuing theory model's performance evaluations are reported as a range of outcomes, but the intuitionistic fuzzy queuing theory model provides a myriad of values. In this context, the arrival and the service rate are both triangular and intuitionistic triangular fuzzy numbers. An assessment is made to find evaluation criteria using a design protocol in which fuzzy values are kept as they are and not made into crisp values, and two statistical problems are solved to understand the existence of the method.

The Transportation Model (TM) in the application of Linear Programming (LP) is very useful in optimal distribution of goods. This paper focuses on finding Initial Basic Feasible Solutions (IBFS) to TMs hence, proposing a Demand-Based Allocation Method (DBAM) to solve the problem. This unprecedented proposal goes in contrast to the Cost-Based Resource Allocations (CBRA) associated with existing methods (including North-west Corner Rule, Least Cost Method and Vogel’s Approximation Method) which make cost cell (i.e. decision variable) selections before choosing demand and supply constraints. The proposed ‘DBAM’ on page 4 is implemented in MATLAB and has the ability to solve large-scale transportation problems to meet industrial needs. A sample of five (5) examples are presented to evaluate efficiency of the method. Initial Basic Feasible Solutions drawn from the study (according to DBAM) represent the optimal with higher accuracy, in comparison to the existing methods. Results from the study qualify the DBAM as one of the best methods to solve industrial transportation problems.

The recent introduction of the Perioscope has dramatically improved the removal of subgingval calculus during periodontal therapy. The Perioscopy system was initially designed to visualize the subgingival region for diagnosis but has been subsequently adapted to aid the treatment of periodontitis. The perioscope, as it is called, is an endoscope that has been specifically designed to explore and visualize the periodontal pocket in patients with periodontitis. An image on a computer monitor shows the diseased tooth's root surface. The Perioscope consists of a miniature camera placed inside a sleeve and inserted under the gingival sulcus or pocket for visualization and instrumentation subgingivally. The subgingval images from the Perioscope is immediately displayed as real-time videos with a magnification ranging from 24-X to 48-X times on a chair side monitor or video screen disclosing even minute details of the pathologies of the root surface which might be missed under conventional visualization. As this microscopic endoscope provides excellent magnified visualization of the root surface and assures the complete or near complete removal of the bacterial infection, this technology provides the best conservative approach to non-surgical and surgical periodontal care.
Impact of nickel-titanium instrument heat treatment on the precision of an inbuilt electronic apex locator and endodontic motor

Numerous nickel-titanium alloys have been designed by manufacturers, however there is little information on the precision of integrated EAL when utilized with various NiTi thermal processes to determine working length.

An integrated EAL and endomotor assembly is utilized in this study to assess ex vivo the effects of different thermal processes on NiTi instruments.

This study used 20 extracted human maxillary incisors. The visual approach was used to establish the working length (WL) control. WL was measured during cleaning and shaping using rotary files consisting of the Reciproc, Reciproc Blue, Wave One Gold, Twisted File Adaptive, and Hyflex CM systems using 0.25 diameter instrument size.

Fisher's exact test and the Kruskal-Wallis statistic tests were used in the analysis of the information at hand.

Heat treatment of NiTi rotary instruments has no significant impact on the EAL's accuracy (P > 0.051).

The precision of WL estimation using an EAL incorporated with the endomotor was unaffected by the use of thermal processes.

Our study aims to examine the influence of COVID-19 on psychological and mental well-being, along with its impact on overall quality of life.

A cross-sectional study was conducted from July 24, 2020, to October 3, 2020, involving Indian adults residing in India. Participants were recruited using convenient and snowball sampling methods, reaching out through a Google form distributed via social media platforms. A total of 305 participants responded to the survey, providing socio-demographic information and answering 14 validated questions related to stress, anxiety, socioeconomic impact, and social support. Data was collected anonymously and analyzed confidentially.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted our sample, causing moderate to severe stress due to peak cases in India. Our findings highlight the need for increased mental health awareness, support for friends and family, and future research. Ongoing pandemic effects require confirmation in larger populations. Policymakers should prioritize positive attitude development and effective policy implementation.

Diaphyseal fractures of humerus are common, representing 3% of all fractures and 20% of all humerus fractures. Though compression plate osteosynthesis is the gold standard, interlocking intramedullary nailing is also a reliable option. In this present study we evaluated the functional outcome of diaphyseal fractures of humerus treated with interlocking nails.

A total of 36 patients with diaphyseal fractures of humerus, selected between October 2020 to May 2021 were managed by closed interlocking nail of humerus. This was a prospective study and all patients were followed up to a minimum of 6 months. The primary outcome measures were functional outcome assessed using DASH Score (The Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder & Hand Score) & Constant-Murley scoring system respectively. Secondary outcomes were intra-operative conditions such as operative time and blood loss and post-operative complications.

The mean time of radiological union was 15.7 weeks ranging from 14-26 weeks. All 36 fractures were united including one delayed union which united at 26 weeks. In our series, 4 patients had post operative shoulder stiffness including one prominent nail, 1 patient developed radial nerve neuropraxia which recovered in 8 weeks. All patients were evaluated on the basis of Constant Murley score for shoulder function and DASH score. In our study of 36 patients 69.4% got excellent results, 19.4% got good results, 8.3% got moderate/fair results and 2.8% got poor results.

Interlocking nailing is a relatively quick, minimally invasive, biomechanically sound, cosmetically better method of internal stabilization of shaft humerus fractures with less union time, less infection and lesser threat to radial nerve and other complications. Besides it allows early mobilization. With correct anatomical knowledge, preoperative planning, good surgical techniques and postoperative rehabilitation interlocking humeral nailing is a viable option in the management of fracture shaft humerus promising excellent outcome.
