Authors: Xie Yuhong , Ueda Yuzuru , Sugiyama Masakazu
Published: September 2021

Load forecasting is an essential task in the operation management of a power system. Electric power companies utilize short-term load forecasting (STLF) technology to make reasonable power generation plans. A forecasting model with low prediction errors helps reduce operating costs and risks for the operators. In recent years, machine learning has become one of the most popular technologies for load forecasting. In this paper, a two-stage STLF model based on long short-term memory (LSTM) and multilayer perceptron (MLP), which improves the forecasting accuracy over the entire time horizon, is proposed. In the first stage, a sequence-to-sequence (seq2seq) architecture, which can handle a multi-sequence of input to extract more features of historical data than that of single sequence, is used to make multistep predictions. In the second stage, the MLP is used for residual modification by perceiving other information that the LSTM cannot. To construct the model, we collected the electrical load, calendar, and meteorological records of Kanto region in Japan for four years. Unlike other LSTM-based hybrid architectures, the proposed model uses two independent neural networks instead of making the neural network deeper by concatenating a series of LSTM cells and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Therefore, the proposed model is easy to be trained and more interpretable. The seq2seq module performs well in the first few hours of the predictions. The MLP inherits the advantage of the seq2seq module and improves the results by feeding artificially selected features both from historical data and information of the target day. Compared to the LSTM-AM model and single MLP model, the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) of the proposed model decreases from 2.82% and 2.65% to 2%, respectively. The results demonstrate that the MLP helps improve the prediction accuracy of seq2seq module and the proposed model achieves better performance than other popular models. In addition, this paper also reveals the reason why the MLP achieves the improvement.

Over the past years, our research on baobabs mainly focused on the largest Malagasy species, namely the Reniala or Grandidier baobab (Adansonia grandidieri Baill.). The biggest A. grandidieri are located in the Morombe area, especially in the so-called Andombiry Forest. This giant forest of Reniala hosts well over 6000 mature individuals, out of which more than 30 have very large sizes, i.e., circumferences over 20 m. We investigated, measured and dated by AMS radiocarbon the largest specimens. We found that all large Grandidier baobabs are multi-stemmed. They mostly exhibit a closed ring-shaped structure, with a false cavity inside. In this architecture, which enables Grandidier baobabs to reach very large sizes, the stems that build the ring typically have similar ages. Here we present the AMS radiocarbon investigation of two large baobabs, A 215 (girth 21.50 m) and A 257 (girth 25.70 m). According to dating results, the baobab A 215 has an age of only 375 years. It consists of four fused stems and has a closed ring-shaped structure. The baobab A 257 has the second largest trunk of all known live Reniala trees. It also exhibits a closed ring-shaped structure, with five fused stems around a false cavity, which has an opening toward the exterior. The dating results indicate that A 257 is around 900 years old.

Acer truncatum Bunge and Xanthoceras sorbifolium Bunge are small deciduous trees distributed in East Asia and have high ecological and nutrient value due to their strong environmental adaptability and seed oil abundant in nervonic acid and unsaturated fatty acids. However, their natural distribution remains unclear, which will also be affected by the changing climatic conditions. The main purpose of this study was to map and predict the current and future potential suitable habitats of these two species using MaxEnt based on the presence location of species and environmental variables. The results showed that A. truncatum was more suitable for warm and humid climates and was more durable to climate change compared to X. sorbifolium. Under the current environmental conditions, the suitable habitat of A. truncatum was mainly concentrated in Inner Mongolia Plateau, Loess Plateau, Sichuan Basin, Northeast Plain, North China Plain, Korean Peninsula, as well as Japan, with an area of 115.39 × 104 km2. X. sorbifolium was mainly distributed in Inner Mongolia Plateau and Loess Plateau with an area of 146.15 × 104 km2. Under future climate scenarios, the model predicted that higher concentrations of greenhouse gas emissions could result in greater expansion of the potential distribution of both species. Meanwhile, the study also revealed that the two species migrated to the north by east to varying degrees with the change in suitable habitats. This work could provide scientific basis for resource protection and utilization of the two economic forest trees.
Cannot See the Forest for the Trees? Comparing Learning Outcomes of a Field Trip vs. a Classroom Approach
Authors: Schneiderhan-Opel Jennifer , Bogner Franz X.
Published: September 2021

Anthropogenically induced environmental changes, such as the persistent loss of biodiversity and decline in global forest stocks, require comprehensive, societal change towards sustainable behavior. Education is considered the key to empowering sustainable decision-making, cooperative participation, high levels of commitment, and motivation to support environmental protection. Holistic Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) approaches aim to foster eco-friendly behavior by combining knowledge acquisition with the promotion of affective drivers. The present study focuses on monitoring the individual interplay between ecological knowledge and environmental values. We compared learning outcomes within two environments: a nature-based, out-of-school setting at a local forest (study 1) and a classroom setting (study 2). Overall, 444 German 7th grade students participated in learner-centered activities on the topic of the forest ecosystem under anthropogenic influences. Following a quasi-experimental study design, we monitored pro-environmental and anthropogenic values (Preservation and Utilization) and knowledge at three test times: before (T1), directly after (T1) and six weeks after (T2) participation in the learning program. Students in both treatments acquired short- and long-term environmental knowledge regardless of the learning environment but in neither case did the learning activities intervene with individual environmental values. However, Preservation showed a positive correlation with the mean knowledge scores in both studies, while for Utilization, this relationship was reversed. A comparison of extreme groups revealed that, in both treatment groups, students with high pro-environmental values and low anthropogenic values showed a significantly better performance than their counterparts. Our findings highlight the importance of monitoring pro-environmental values when preparing educational modules for student groups independent from the learning environment.

Published: September 2021

Agricultural activity replaces natural vegetation with cultivated land and it is a major cause of local and global climate change. Highly specialized agricultural production leads to extensive monoculture farming with a low biodiversity that may cause low landscape resilience. This is the case on the Salento peninsula, in the Apulia Region of Italy, where the Xylella fastidiosa bacterium has caused the mass destruction of olive trees, many of them in monumental groves. The historical land cover that characterized the landscape is currently in a transition phase and can strongly affect climate conditions. This study aims to analyze how the destruction of olive groves by X. fastidiosa affects local climate change. Land surface temperature (LST) data detected by Landsat 8 and MODIS satellites are used as a proxies for microclimate mitigation ecosystem services linked to the evolution of the land cover. Moreover, recurrence quantification analysis was applied to the study of LST evolution. The results showed that olive groves are the least capable forest type for mitigating LST, but they are more capable than farmland, above all in the summer when the air temperature is the highest. The differences in the average LST from 2014 to 2020 between olive groves and farmland ranges from 2.8 °C to 0.8 °C. Furthermore, the recurrence analysis showed that X. fastidiosa was rapidly changing the LST of the olive groves into values to those of farmland, with a difference in LST reduced to less than a third from the time when the bacterium was identified in Apulia six years ago. The change generated by X. fastidiosa started in 2009 and showed more or less constant behavior after 2010 without substantial variation; therefore, this can serve as the index of a static situation, which can indicate non-recovery or non-transformation of the dying olive groves. Failure to restore the initial environmental conditions can be connected with the slow progress of the uprooting and replacing infected plants, probably due to attempts to save the historic aspect of the landscape by looking for solutions that avoid uprooting the diseased plants. This suggests that social-ecological systems have to be more responsive to phytosanitary epidemics and adapt to ecological processes, which cannot always be easily controlled, to produce more resilient landscapes and avoid unwanted transformations.

Published: September 2021

The Himalayan Arc is recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot. Among its numerous cryptic and undiscovered organisms, this composite high-mountain ecosystem harbors many taxa with adaptations to life in high elevations. However, evolutionary patterns and genomic features have been relatively rarely studied in Himalayan vertebrates. Here, we provide the first well-annotated transcriptome of a Greater Himalayan reptile species, the Ladakh Ground skink Asymblepharus ladacensis (Squamata: Scincidae). Based on tissues from the brain, an embryonic disc, and pooled organ material, using pair-end Illumina NextSeq 500 RNAseq, we assembled ~77,000 transcripts, which were annotated using seven functional databases. We tested ~1600 genes, known to be under positive selection in anurans and reptiles adapted to high elevations, and potentially detected positive selection for 114 of these genes in Asymblepharus. Even though the strength of these results is limited due to the single-animal approach, our transcriptome resource may be valuable data for further studies on squamate reptile evolution in the Himalayas as a hotspot of biodiversity.

Geospatial Data Disaggregation through Self-Trained Encoder–Decoder Convolutional Models
Authors: Monteiro João , Martins Bruno , Costa Miguel , Pires João M.
Published: September 2021

Datasets collecting demographic and socio-economic statistics are widely available. Still, the data are often only released for highly aggregated geospatial areas, which can mask important local hotspots. When conducting spatial analysis, one often needs to disaggregate the source data, transforming the statistics reported for a set of source zones into values for a set of target zones, with a different geometry and a higher spatial resolution. This article reports on a novel dasymetric disaggregation method that uses encoder–decoder convolutional neural networks, similar to those adopted in image segmentation tasks, to combine different types of ancillary data. Model training constitutes a particular challenge. This is due to the fact that disaggregation tasks are ill-posed and do not entail the direct use of supervision signals in the form of training instances mapping low-resolution to high-resolution counts. We propose to address this problem through self-training. Our method iteratively refines initial estimates produced by disaggregation heuristics and training models with the estimates from previous iterations together with relevant regularization strategies. We conducted experiments related to the disaggregation of different variables collected for Continental Portugal into a raster grid with a resolution of 200 m. Results show that the proposed approach outperforms common alternative methods, including approaches that use other types of regression models to infer the dasymetric weights.
CNMF: A Community-Based Fake News Mitigation Framework
Authors: Galal Shaimaa , Nagy Noha , El-Sharkawi Mohamed. E.
Published: September 2021

Fake news propagation in online social networks (OSN) is one of the critical societal threats nowadays directing attention to fake news mitigation and intervention techniques. One of the typical mitigation techniques focus on initiating news mitigation campaigns targeting a specific set of users when the infected set of users is known or targeting the entire network when the infected set of users is unknown. The contemporary mitigation techniques assume the campaign users’ acceptance to share a mitigation news (MN); however, in reality, user behavior is different. This paper focuses on devising a generic mitigation framework, where the social crowd can be employed to combat the influence of fake news in OSNs when the infected set of users is undefined. The framework is composed of three major phases: facts discovery, facts searching and, community recommendation. Mitigation news circulation is accomplished by recruiting a set of social crowd users (news propagators) who are likely to accept posting the mitigation news article. We propose a set of features that identify prospect OSN audiences and news propagators. Moreover, we inspect the variant properties of the news circulation process, such as incentivizing news propagators, determining the required number of news propagators, and the adaptivity of the MN circulation process. The paper pinpoints the significance of facts searching and news propagator’s behavior features introduced in the experimental results.
Differences in Immune Checkpoints Expression (TIM-3 and PD-1) on T Cells in Women with Recurrent Miscarriages—Preliminary Studies
Authors: Zych Michał , Roszczyk Aleksander , Kniotek Monika , Dąbrowski Filip , Zagożdżon Radosław
Published: September 2021

Background: Immune checkpoints are molecules that regulate the function of immune cells and control inflammation processes. An important role in this regard is played by TIM-3/Gal-9 and PD-1/PDL-1 interactions. Previous research performed in a mouse model of pregnancy loss confirmed that blocking TIM-3 could induce fetal loss. Similarly, the PD-1 molecule maintains protective interactions between the mother’s immune cells and the fetus. The purpose of this study was to assess the expression of these molecules on a range of T lymphocyte subpopulations from non-pregnant women with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) versus healthy fertile women. Methods: PBMCs were isolated by gradient centrifugation of blood obtained from 12 healthy women and 24 women with RSA and immediately stained for flow cytometry analysis. Standard immunophenotyping of PBMC was performed with the antibodies against classical lymphocyte markers: CD3, CD4, CD8, and CD56. Immune checkpoints were investigated using antibodies against PD-1(CD279) and TIM-3(CD366). Results: We found that expression of TIM-3 was significantly decreased on CD8+ T lymphocytes in the RSA group, and expression of PD-1 was upregulated on CD4+ T lymphocytes in the RSA group in comparison to the healthy controls. Conclusions: Considering our findings, therapeutic intervention towards immune checkpoints may be a promising treatment option for recurrent spontaneous abortion.

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the physical and mental health of people around the world. This may be particularly true for patients with life-threatening diseases. We analyzed the level of fear of COVID-19 (FCV-19S), the prevalence of anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D) in pulmonary arterial and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (PAH and CTEPH) patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this multicenter prospective study, 223 patients (63% females, 66% PAH) with age range 18–90 years were included. The fear of COVID-19 was high, at a mean level of 18.9 ± 7.4 points. Anxiety (HADS-A ≥ 8 points) was diagnosed in 32% of all patients, depression (HADS-D ≥ 8 points) in 21%, and anxiety or depression in 38%. FCV-19S was higher in woman and in elderly people (p = 0.02; p = 0.02, respectively). In the multivariate analysis, FCV-19S higher than the median increased the odds ratio of anxiety, but not of depression (R 6.4 (95%CI 2.0–20.0), p = 0.002; OR 1.9 (0.9–3.9), p = 0.06, respectively). History of COVID-19 increased risk of both HADS-A and HADS-D. Patients with PAH and CTEPH, especially woman over 65 years and those who had been infected with COVID-19, may need additional psychological support due to fear of COVID-19, anxiety or depression.

Published: September 2021

The purpose of the study was to analyze the possibilities of using mathematical models of the water (level) surface of rivers and reservoirs for the transfer of elevations. The use of an empirical mathematical model obtained for the Irtysh River near the city of Omsk makes it possible to determine the heights in the investigated area with an accuracy of about 0.1 m. To determine the level of the water edge at the selected area, it is necessary to obtain: the mark of the water edge at the gauging station; the distance along the river from the gauging station to the work site. It is advisable to fix the water level at the gauging station and the work site simultaneously. For the elevation transfer from one river bank to another by the III class leveling program, the authors propose the technology of laying temporary benchmarks on the banks, fixing the level using special devices, and transferring the elevations of the fixed water level to temporary benchmarks. The technology contains the devices of simple design for accurate level fixing. The factors influencing the accuracy of the height transmission are: fixing the water level, the centrifugal forces of the flow, the Coreolis force caused by the rotation of the Earth, and the wind surge. The authors calculated the expected values of errors determining the accuracy: for fixing the level it was about 1 mm according to the proposed method; the height difference at the banks due to the forces of Coreolis was 0.007 m; the influence of centrifugal forces at a turning radius of 500 m causes a difference in heights at opposite banks of 0.1 m. In the result, the authors proposed the recommendations developed for transferring heights from one river bank to another using a class III leveling program, which ensure the specified accuracy.

The rise of Vulpia myuros (Poaceae) and the impact of cultivation-timing on plant community structure.
Authors: Crawley Michael J.
Published: September 2021

Vulpia myuros (L.) C.C. Gmel. has shown a dramatic increase in abundance as a weed of winter wheat since 2000, especially under regimes of no-till husbandry. A long-term experiment on disturbance timing at Silwood Park suggests that this increase is probably not due solely to no-till cultivation or to the plant’s well-known herbicide resistance, but rather to autumn cultivation coupled with warmer winter weather.

Published: September 2021

Based on analysis of the fundamental philosophical (M. Bakhtin, V. Kemerov,C. Frank et al.), psychological (V. Zinchenko, B. Meshcheryakov, A. Leontiev et al.) and pedagogical (I. Kolesnikova, O. Sydelkovskyy, E. Fedotova et al.) works found that the scientific basis for understanding the basics of interaction is a statement about the spiritual nature of man, the dialogical mode of existence in historical and cultural- educational and educational space. Proved that human interaction with the world and other people allows her to not only update the internal capacity, but also fill it structurally, meaningful, valuable and semantic aspects.The study found that immersion in this process allows comparison of thoughts, feelings and actions of the individual with their reflection in the minds of others, being the basis of its self-knowledge, self-fulfillment. Providing dialogic training interaction is extremely important for personal development and is the essence of educational activities. In the context of the study, this phenomenon is treated as  a  two-way process – learning and teaching that combines teacher and student as people made for a common goal, but are not identical in their social role, knowledge, experience, etc.Investigation of the nature and specifics of pedagogical interaction shows that it is a variant of social interaction, has its main features, the characteristics and at the same time realizing in the process of implementation specific, but very important for the formation of individual existence and purpose: to promote self-identity. Specificity dialogic educational interaction between teacher and students is that during the implementation of its self-study subjects interconnected phenomenon occurs largely contribute to this kind of phenomena and effects that arise. At the same time they can transform  the  content  of  educational  interaction  with  the  simple  exchange  of «exchange transformations» that gives new incentives for personal growth of participants this kind of contact. Proved that dialogic interaction study can be carried out only in the system of inter subjective relations. All this predetermines the presence of a specific inter subjective space, which intersect individual meanings and values. In the pedagogical process this space does not arises by itself, it's result of forming of the efforts of the teacher and student, adult and child, and so on.

This article presents the essence of the concept of «creative individuality». It is proved that among educators confirms the idea that not only the identity  of  the teacher, his attitude, willingness and ability to act creatively is now the decisive factors of the institution, but for the education of the younger generation must be magnitude, brightness and uniqueness of each teacher’s personality, the autonomy of his actions. Based on the pedagogical and psychological theories, the development of teacher’s creative individuality is the process of his unique identity, based on positive quantitative and qualitative changes in the levels of formation components of his creative individuality; turning him into a distinctive, unique, self-effective person capable to realize himself fully in educational activities. It is noted that creative individuality of the teacher is the essential feature of his professional and pedagogical skills that characterizes the level of mastery of his educational process and art of pedagogical action. Nowadays when the world is rapidly changing, the problem of the professional’s creative personality becomes more urgent. A special role in this process belongs to vocational school teacher who makes impact on his students and creates a generation of modern professionals: creative, responsible, skilled, with innovative style of thinking and their own professional style.

The author attempts to explore the process of the reforming of children's choreographic education in Kirovohrad region in the 80-s of the twentieth century in this article. Choreographic education in the mentioned period was getting the features of continuous education. Starting from pre-school educational establishments, which had become the basis for harmonious development of a child, choreographic education was directed towards aesthetic upbringing of young people as well as universal values at all stages of learning. Thanks to public support functioning artistic groups worked effectively and new dance groups on the basis of secondary schools, palaces of pioneers and schoolchildren, enterprises, rural, urban and district houses of culture were created. Significant shifts occurred in the system of out-of-school education. Teachers-researchers focused their attention on the developing of new methods of cultural and educational work in out-of-school establishments, the events which were aimed at the improving of physical and psychological health of children, formation of the interest to the training in dance groups were especially important. Creation of creative children's associations, clubs, groups of the choreographic direction on the basis of the Kirovohrad regional Palace of Pioneers and Schoolchildren was not an exception in the system of art and aesthetic education of schoolchildren.The development of choreographic education in Kirovohrad region is demonstrated in the creation of new children's dance groups. The participation of children in the work of choreographic groups was directed at the goals gaining, namely: aesthetic education by means of choreographic art, expanding of the worldview and formation of moral qualities of a personality (collectivism, responsibility, friendship, sociability etc.). Despite the situation in the country, choreographic collectives, groups and ensembles of Kirovohrad region continued to popularize Ukrainian traditions, culture, and history of its people by means of choreographic art, to store and pass on the Ukrainian national heritage to the younger generation. The concept of «mentoring» emerged and consolidated in Kirovohrad region. In the 1980-s experienced managers of the best and most successful choreographic collectives shared their experience with young colleagues, provided consulting, gave creative tips.

Giriş ve Amaç: Kronik inflamatuar bir hastalık olan psoriasisde, immünolojik değişiklikler ve uzun süreli kullanılan sistemik immünsüpresif tedaviler nedeniyle kanser riskinin arttığı düşünülmektedir. Bu konuda yapılan çalışmalarda çelişkili sonuçlar elde edilmiş, psoriasis ile malignite riski arasındaki ilişki henüz tam olarak aydınlatılamamıştır. Bu çalışmada psoriasisli hastalarda malignite riskinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Manisa Celal Bayar Üniversite Hastanesi elektronik hasta kayıt sisteminden retrospektif tarama yapılarak, 2013 ile 2018 yılları arasında psoriasis tanısı olan 1669 hasta çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Aynı dönemde Dermatoloji polikliniğine başvuran ve psoriasis tanısı olmayan 3870 hasta kontrol grubu olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Her iki grupta, dermatolojik tanı aldıkları tarihten 1 ay sonrasından başlayarak kanserin tipi ve kanser tanısı aldıkları zaman kaydedilmiştir.

Bulgular: Psoriasis ve kontrol gruplarının yaş ortalamaları sırasıyla 40,33±17,58 ve 40,22±16,91 olarak bulunmuştur. Psoriasis grubunun %47,5’i (n=793), kontrol grubunun %48,9’u (n=1892) kadınlardan oluşmaktaydı. Kanser bulunma sıklığı psoriasis grubunda %3,62, kontrol grubunda %4,25 olup, istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık saptanmamıştır. Psoriasisli hasta ve kontrol grubu arasında, kanser tanı yaşı, kanserli hastaların cinsiyet dağılımı açısından anlamlı farklılık bulunmamıştır. Herhangi bir immünsupresif ilaç öyküsü bulunmasının genel olarak, ya da ilaçlardan herhangi birinin psoriasis hastalarında kanser riski üzerine anlamlı etkisi saptanmamıştır.

Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, beş yıllık takipte psoriasise ya da psoriasis tedavisinde kullanılan ilaçlara bağlı olarak artmış bir malignite riski saptanmamıştır. Retrospektif bir çalışma olduğu için kanser riskini artırabilecek her parametrenin tam kontrolünün sağlanamaması bu çalışmanın kısıtlılığıdır. Kısa süreli tedavi alan hastaların da birlikte analiz edilmesi, uzun süre tedavi alan hastalarda kanser riskini istatistiksel olarak maskelemiş olabilir. Bu nedenle uzun yıllar sürecek şekilde planlanmış, prospektif randomize kontrollü çalışmaların gerçekleştirilmesine ihtiyaç vardır.

AObjective: The aim of this study was to identify the role of apoptosis and cell cycle associated gene products in the pathogenesis of thyroid papillary carcinoma (TPC) and its lymph node metastasis. Materials and Methods: Cases of thyroid papillary carcinoma (n=35), thyroid papillary microcarcinoma (TPMC) (n=22), TPC-lymph node metastasis (TPC-LNM) (n=12), and adenomatous nodule (AN) (n=20) were examined using tissue microarray method (TMA) by immunohistochemistry staining for p16, p21, p27, p53, bcl-2, bax, bcl-xL and cyclin D1. Results: Bcl-2 staining of the ANs was significantly differed from those of malignant groups. p53, p16, p21 staining percentages were significantly higher in the malignant groups than in the benign lesions. TPC-LNM group had higher p16 and cyclin D1 positivity than the primary tumor groups. The most remarkable difference of p27 staining was between the TPC-LNM and TPC groups. Conclusion: We concluded that cell cycle regulators, especially bcl-2 family, play important roles in TPC carcinogenesis. The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors acting on the cyclin-CDK complex (p16, p21, p27) were more associated with potential for malignancy, progression and poor prognosis. p53 plays an important role in the TPC pathogenesis by interacting with the proteins regulating both apoptosis and the cell cycle.

Giriş ve Amaç: Çalışmamızın amacı, idame kemoterapisi alan akut lenfoblastik lösemili (ALL) çocuklarda motor fonksiyonlar ile yaşam kalitesi ve günlük yaşam aktiviteleri (GYA) arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılmasıydı.

Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamız, Hacettepe Üniversitesi Çocuk Hastanesi’nde gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmaya ALL tanısı alan ve idame kemoterapisine devam eden, 4 ve 15 yaşları arasındaki çocuklar dahil edildi. Motor fonksiyonlar, Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Yeterlik Testi-2. Versiyon Kısa Formu, kavrama kuvveti, 9-Delikli Peg Testi ve 30-saniye Otur-Kalk Testi ile değerlendirildi. Çocuklar İçin Yaşam Kalitesi Ölçeği (ÇİYKÖ)-Kanser Modülü yaşam kalitesi düzeyini belirlemede kullanıldı. Çocuklar İçin Fonksiyonel Bağımsızlık Ölçeği (WeeFIM) GYA düzeyini değerlendirmede kullanıldı.

Bulgular: Çalışmamıza toplam 32 çocuk (Kız: 15/Erkek: 17) dahil edildi. Çocukların ortalama yaşı 8,64±3,38 yıldı. Korelasyon analizlerine göre, 30-saniye Otur-Kalk Testi ve bilateral koordinasyon skoru, ÇİYKÖ-Kanser Modülü skoruyla orta derecede koreleydi (p˂0,05). WeeFIM toplam puanı ise Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Yeterlik Testi-2. Versiyon Kısa Formu toplam puanı, kavrama kuvveti ve 9-Delikli Peg Testi skoru ile orta-yüksek derecede ilişkili bulundu (p˂0,05).

Sonuç: ALL’li çocukların kemoterapi aldıkları dönemde motor becerilerindeki artış, günlük hayattaki fonksiyonelliğin ve yaşam kalitelerinin gelişmesi ile ilişkilidir. Bu sebeple, ALL tanısı almış çocuklar motor beceriler açısından dikkatli takip edilmelidir.

Heavy metals may be harmful to human health over the short and long term. Consumption of fish, one of the most important sources of protein in human life is one of the most common ways of heavy metal exposure. In this study for determine some heavy metals (Li, Na, Mg, Al, K, Ca, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Se, Ag, Cd, Pb and U) concentration in different tissues as muscle, liver and gill of common carp (Cyprinus carpio, L., 1758) and pike barb (Luciobarbus esocinus, H., 1843) collected from Karasu River (Erzincan, Turkey) along the upper Euphrates Basin were collected between November 2019 and October 2020 on monthly. Heavy metal analysis was performed by ICP-MS -Bruker 820-MS. The results of heavy metals in tissues were compared to acceptable international limits.

The studied metals were found at a considerable level in all seasons, indicating that the Karasu River biota is particularly vulnerable to heavy metal intake. Consequently, research has shown a strong connection between various elements and in addition, the human health risk assessment (HHRA) reveals are hazardous for consumption of fish.

Vitamin C or ascorbic acid (AA) is extremely important for humans, as it is not metabolized by the human body, it is necessary to ingest it through diet and / or supplementation. AA has several functions in the body, such as enzymatic cofactors, hormone biosynthesis and antioxidant effect. However, research reports indicate that ingesting high doses of AA may pose health risks. Therefore, the descriptive effect of the clinical application of AA was analyzed. A bibliographic review was carried out and divided into two aspects: the historical view, which was published between 1753 and 2012, and another contemporary study was carried out between 1990 and 2017. The research was carried out on the Academic Google, PubMed, Scielo, Portal de Periódicos da Capes and books, using the keywords: vitamin C, ascorbic acid, antioxidants and pro-oxidants. AA supplements are controversial and their antioxidant and pro-oxidant effects have been described. Its effectiveness in preventing and treating diabetes and cancer is questionable. Therefore, excessive AA supplementation can cause a transition from a healthy to a pathological state, triggering pro-oxidant activity. In addition, the optimal intake dose and the limit between beneficial and harmful doses are still controversial. Therefore, vitamin C should be supplemented with caution and prescribed and supervised by the medical team.

The sudden shift to remote education required rapid adaptation by teachers to ensure continuity of teaching. Thus, teachers had to adjust their pedagogical activities and teaching strategies to ensure student learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. Thus, the objective of this study was to understand the difficulties and challenges faced by teachers during classes during the pandemic period. For that, a quantitative-qualitative approach was used to describe and explore the results obtained in the research carried out with 21 teachers from public and private schools in Queimadas - PB. Therefore, structured questionnaires with 16 questions were used for the field research. The collected data were organized in tables and treated using descriptive statistics. The results obtained indicated that the majority of students did not have adequate electronic devices to accompany remote classes, although they had access to the internet. In addition, the results indicated that teachers paid for the costs of acquiring appropriate equipment for remote classes and did not receive incentives from the institutions they teach. Finally, it was found that the teachers participating in the study claimed to have developed some disorder during remote classes.
