High School English Application Writing based on Thematic Meaning Inquiry
Authors: Chen Xi
Published: March 2023

Writing, as an essential output skill, plays an important role in the process of learning English and is a reflection of the learner's ability to use the language in an integrated way. However, the current situation in today's English classrooms is that learners' writing skills are relatively weak compared to their reading and listening skills, and writing has become a weakness in their English learning. Therefore, this study explores the current situation and problems of writing applied essays from a macro perspective, using input-output theory and constructivist theory as guidance, and closely linking reading and writing teaching under the guidance of thematic meaning. The contextualization integrates reading and writing in many ways. "The reading for writing" teaching mode builds a bridge between reading and writing, based on in-depth reading in a thematic sense, which improves learners' reading level and broadens their knowledge, improves learners' reading skills and broadens their knowledge, enhances learners' language skills through writing in thematic contexts, internalizes the learning of the theme, enables learners to learn to transfer and innovate, and strengthens language output.

Authors: Zhang Hongxing , Teo Brian Sheng-Xian
Published: March 2023

In the context of globalization, informatization and knowledge economy era, the social elements are moving towards multi direction, with the gradual rise of civil society and the emergence of non-governmental organizations, great changes have occurred in the social governance structure, the public affairs governance environment is more complex. The fast and diverse change of the social environment, resulting in a separation of powers, blurred boundaries between organizations, but also producing many "networks" across the variety of different areas. In the face of the complex network, the traditional hierarchical government model has been unable to meet the needs of the times. The bureaucratic system, which is linked by control, command, rigid work restrictions, and inward organizational culture, is no longer suitable for dealing with complex issues that often go beyond organizational boundaries. While network governance is to realize and promote the public interest as the core value, advocating government departments, social organizations, and many other subjects cooperate to share public power in an interdependent environment. Compared to the traditional management system, network governance can more effectively coordinate and manage the cooperation network between the different levels of governments and the various departments.

Research on the Effect of E-Commerce Adoption on Improving the Economic Welfare of Chinese Farmers under the Background of Digital Economy
Authors: Zhang Huimin
Published: March 2023

As an important economic mode in the era of digital economy, e-commerce can have a significant impact on the rural economy. E-commerce of agricultural products has become a new driving force to promote agricultural industrialization, digitalization and increasing farmers’ income. By taking into account the sample selection bias and heterogeneity, a multiple regression model is used to measure the economic welfare of Chinese farmers who participate in e-commerce, and finds that investing in e-commerce of agricultural products helps increase the income of agricultural businesses, but it is not as significant as the effects of land area, labor, brand building and other factors on income at this stage. However, the positive impact of adopting e-commerce of agricultural products on farmers’ income will increase with the deepening of its absorption. Especially in its advanced stage, the network scale effect will be gradually released. The diminishing marginal cost also enhances the effect of e-commerce of agricultural products on income.
Research on the Development of Win-win Integration of Culture, Sports and Tourism in Shaoxing in the Context of Asian Games
Authors: He Pengfei
Published: March 2023

The study focuses on theoretical analysis of the value of the win-win integration of culture, sports and tourism in the Shaoxing in the context of the Asian Games, and the construction of an operational mechanism for the integration of culture, sports and tourism, with a view to providing a theoretical basis for promoting the development of sports, culture and tourism in the Shaoxing. The study concludes that the value of the win-win integration of culture, sports and tourism in the Shaoxing includes promoting the economic transformation and development of the Shaoxing, meeting the diversified and cross-border needs of consumption, leading people's consumption concepts and fashion trends, and building a platform for rural revitalisation through industrial integration. At the present stage, the dilemma of win-win cultural, sports and tourism integration in Shaoxing is that the construction of public facilities is lagging behind, and there is a lack of effective complementary advantages, industrial integration is not sufficiently co-ordinated, and the market space is relatively limited, industry coupling is not sufficient, and there is a lack of professional integration talents, integration regulation is not innovative enough, and collaborative governance needs to be deepened. On this basis, it is proposed that the construction of public facilities should be improved to enhance the effective complementarity of advantages, the development of industrial integration should be co-ordinated to broaden the market space for integration, the coupling of industry patterns should be fully improved and professional integration talents should be introduced. Innovative industrial integration regulation and comprehensive optimisation of synergistic governance are the optimal countermeasures to promote the win-win development of cultural, sports and tourism integration in Shaoxing.
Anne Sütü ve Sirkadiyen Ritm
Authors: Temizkan Sekizler Emine , Mamuk Rojjin
Published: March 2023

Anne sütü, bebeklerin beslenmesi için en ideal besindir. Anne sütünün bileşimi, bebeğin fizyolojik olarak değişen ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak için değişken olup, annenin metabolik sağlığı gibi özelliklerine, bebeğin cinsiyeti, doğum ağırlığı, doğum haftası gibi özelliklerine, emzirme, elle sağma, pompa ile sağma gibi mekanik faktörlere göre değişmekte, hatta gün içerisinde de değişiklik göstermektedir. Anne sütü içeriğinin gün içerisinde değişmesi, sirkadiyen ritim ile ilişkisi doğrultusunda açıklanmaktadır. Fetüste sirkadiyen ritmin ilk belirtileri gebeliğin 30. haftasından itibaren gözlemlenmektedir. Yenidoğanın sirkadiyen ritminin ekstrauterin ortamla senkronizasyonu, aydınlık/karanlığa maruz kalma, annenin davranışsal etkileri ve beslenme zamanlaması gibi dış ipuçlarına bağlıdır. Anne sütü bileşimindeki sirkadiyen dalgalanmaların, anneden bebeğe gündüz ve gece ile ilgili bilgi aktardığı tahmin edilmektedir. Anne sütü ile sirkadiyen ritmin ilişkili olması, anne sütündeki hormon içeriği, makro ve mikro besin içeriği, anne sütünü sağma zamanı ile bebeğin beslenme zamanı, anne sütü ile beslenen bebeklerin uyku süresi ve infantil kolik gibi durumları etkilediği belirtilmektedir. Anne sütünün sirkadiyen ritmi, bebek sağlığı, gelişimi ve davranışı açısından önem taşıdığından, hemşirelerin emzirme danışmanlığında üzerinde durmaları gereken bir konudur.

Authors: Liu Na , Ding Xiao-jiao , Mao Jian-qi , Wei Yan-hui
Published: March 2023

Digitalization and low-carbon development are parallel in the digital economy. In what ways does the development of low-carbon economy can be contributed by the digital transformation of enterprises? This paper analyzes the impact of digital transformation on carbon emissions from a micro perspective. Based on unbalanced panel data from 278 listed companies between 2010 and 2018, a double fixed-effect model is used to test the overall effects of digitalization on carbon emission intensity, the intermediary role of green technology innovation capacity and the regulatory effect of absorptive capacity. Results show that digital transformation of enterprises contributes to the reduction of carbon emission intensity, green technology innovation capability partially mediates the impact of digital transformation on carbon emission intensity, and absorptive capacity moderates the impact of digital transformation on green technology innovation capacity. Based above, this paper puts forward corresponding countermeasures from the aspects of digitalization, greening and low carbon.
Political Articulation: The Intellectuality of Ahmad Mustofa Bisri in Struggling for the Contest of Truth
Authors: Khoiron Khoiron , Santoso Purwo , Irawanto Budi
Published: March 2023

This study examined intellectual politics, which seek to reveal the significance of the political acts of an intellectual. These actions are often surprising, but in the end, they provide references for the general public. The significant political actions here meant to provide a point of reference, when people are trapped in controversies and instrumentalist reasoning. There are hard to understand politics, but the results are clear: the general public gets references to judge and determine judgment. Politics takes place at the level of meaning, more than just a struggle of interests. It is a manifest in the articulation of ideas or values, not in the expertise in organizing, structuring authority, or struggling for positions. The results of this study found that the way out of rational-instrumental reasoning that dominates (mainstream) is communicative-rationality reasoning through communicative acts in public spaces. This intellectual study is expected to have an important contribution in developing a sub-study: articulatory politics.

Authors: FAROOQ Mudassir , MUHAMMAD Sohail , SOROUR A. A.
Published: March 2023

In this study, the corrosion behavior of a Fe-Cr-Mo-B-C alloy, fabricated by spark plasma sintering of an amorphous alloy powder, in 3.5% NaCl solution was analyzed. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy and potentiodynamic polarization are techniques which were used for electrochemical performance estimation of samples and the results were further compared with conventional alloys: 1080 carbon steel and 304 stainless steel. Corrosion surface products were characterized through Scanning electron microscopy, Energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Specimens sintered at 800℃ (S1-800) had achieved 94% densification approximately while the sample sintered at 900℃ (S2-900), had densified more which was 98% approximately. S2-900 had better corrosion resistance than S1-800 while in comparison to conventional alloys; it was inferior to 304 stainless steel. It was concluded that the increase in density of sintered samples favoured the formation of more uniform surface products and enhanced the formation of the passive chromium oxide (Cr2O3) layer.
Is there a relationship between the motivation of female fitness practitioners and tobacco and alcohol consumption? Perspectives for improving lifestyle for health
Authors: Sousa Patrícia , Coelho Eduarda , Mota Maria Paula
Published: March 2023

The practice of PE has been associated with the adoption of healthy lifestyles. The objective of the study was to investigate whether there is a relationship between tobacco and alcohol consumption and the type of modality practiced; and if the reasons presented for the practice are somehow related to these habits. The sample consisted of 177 adult women, who practice Fitness, divided into 3 groups: 68 practitioners of high intensity modalities, 54 of Zen modalities, and 55 of modalities of both types. The Exercise Motivation Inventory 2 was used to assess the reasons for the practice of PE. Relating smoking and alcoholism habits with the reasons for the practice, significant positive correlations were found between: smoking habits/affiliation (p = .037); alcohol consumption/keeping healthy (p = .035). Significant inverse relationships between: number of cigarettes smoked per day/weight management (p = .000); number of cigarettes smoked per day/health (p = .048). Class 3 of women who quit smoking had statistically significant higher scores on disease (p = .012) and staying healthy (p = .001). Affiliation is a common reason for smoking and exercising; those who smoked for a longer period of time seem to resort to the practice for reasons relating to the onset of illness or to maintain their health. Women who don't drink seem to be more concerned about their health than women who do drink. Clarifying these relationships is essential for creating more effective intervention programs to eliminate/reduce tobacco and alcohol consumption and their harmful effects on health.

Japanese people sometimes use emoji in their daily activities, especially in non-verbal communications such as text messages or posting on their social media. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to find out what kind of emojis that Japanese people of generation X, Y, and Z tend to use in their communication. This research uses library and qualitative method. Authors also conduct a survey on 90 random Japanese people. It is hoped that this research allows us to know the representation of emoji that is used between different generations in Japan.The research shows that emoji used in communication may serve as a medium to maintain harmony between generations to communicate in this digital era. Plenty of Japanese people, especially within families and friends use emoji to emphasize expressions in a sentence as well as making them more friendly. Moreover, another result of why Japanese people use emoji in smartphones is because of its practicality.
English and French-major students’ suggestions on extracurricular activities for English learning: A case in the Mekong Delta
Authors: Mai Le Xuan , Thao Le Thanh
Published: March 2023

Purpose: Extracurricular activities (ECA) are encouraged by education stakeholders in Vietnam to contribute to improving the English ability of Vietnamese people. At universities, ECA is organized quite a lot, but there is a lack of consultation from students. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the English and French majors’ preferred ECA for English learning.

Design/Methodology/Approach: This study involved 151 students from two groups of students majoring in foreign languages, English and French. A questionnaire was used to gather the students’ perspectives on how to implement ECA for English language learning.

Findings: The results showed that most students favored experiential travel to places where English is used frequently to help them improve their oral skills. However, the students were not interested in multi-day activities, mandatory-participation policies, individual activities, or online-organized events.

Conclusion: The research results suggest ideas for organizing ECA for English learning for students majoring in French and English.

Practical implications: The research team proposed a specific tourism simulation activity in this paper based on the results, which can be a useable source for further ECA for English learning organized in the context of higher education institutions in Vietnam and elsewhere.

Limitations: This study focused on students majoring in foreign languages, so its applicability to non-foreign language-major students is limited. Further studies in this field should focus on gathering perspectives from non-foreign-language majors.

Contribution to literature: The literature on ECA for English learning has not yet received adequate attention. Therefore, this study contributes to the relevant literature and suggests significant topics for future research.
Use of Corrosion Inhibitors in Stainless Steel Anchors Used In Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GRC) Precast Facade Elements
Authors: Coşkun Kader , Gerengi Hüsnü , Maraşlı Muhammed , Birinci Faik Ali , Özdal Volkan
Published: March 2023

Corrosion is the process of losing the physico-mechanical properties of the metallic material over time as a result of chemical or electrochemical reactions. It is one of the most fundamental problems encountered in the construction industry; according to the latest research despite all the precautions taken corrosion causes an economic loss of approximately 546 million pounds per year. In addition to financial consequences, numerous dramatic damage events are directly or indirectly attributed to the corrosion process. Revealing the corrosion risk at the architectural design stage, taking into account the compatibility of the materials to be used, will contribute significantly to the steps to be taken regarding the monitoring and prevention of corrosion. In this study; the benefit of preventing the corrosion that occurs over time in the stainless steel anchors used in glass fiber reinforced concrete (GRC) precast facade elements by using corrosion inhibitor before mounted to the GRC was investigated. Creating a protective layer on the metal surface by using a patented chemical solution containing a corrosion inhibitor was used for the first time in the GRC sector in this study. After washing with corrosion inhibitor solution, stainless steel anchor elements were immersed in 5%(w/v) NaCl solution. After 30 days, the metal surfaces were examined by visually and were investigated by surface imaging methods (Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDS)) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The findings show that washing with a solution containing corrosion inhibitor, especially after welding; increases the strength of the oxide film formed on the stainless steel surface and protects it against corrosion.
A New Hybrid Software Testing Automation Framework
Authors: Bozdemir Meral , Bilgin Turgay Tugay , Nikbay Oylum Kader
Published: March 2023

Nowadays, with the development of software technologies in all areas of life, software testing, which is an indispensable need of the software life cycle, has become open to development and change. The replacement of manual testing of software products with test automation systems that minimise the human error margin provides the most important example of the transformation of testing processes into a dynamic structure.

This paper details a hybrid approach that utilizes tools such as Java, Maven, Test-NG, etc. used in a traditional test automation. The proposed hybrid approach is based on Java's "Write once, run anywhere" approach. First of all, all HTML elements used in web applications are determined and these elements are saved in a model called PageFactory. PageFactory is a Page object model concept that allows managing elements from a single file.  These saved elements are transferred to the next layer, the Test Layer architecture, using the relevant methods in the Page Layer model, and the methods in this layer are invoked and executed. This proposed hybrid approach provides reusability, easy maintenance, cost reduction, increased performance, better quality software products, ease of use and time savings.
Hybrid Beamforming for Multi User Massive MIMO Systems
Authors: Hussein Abdirahman Abdikarim , Kıvanç Türeli Didem
Published: March 2023

The increasing demand in wireless communications for enhanced spectral efficiency (SE) and throughput makes massive multiple input multiple output (MIMO) a great choice for meeting those demands by using a vast set of antennas. Despite the advantages of massive MIMO, to implement such systems comes with a huge price tag and consumes a lot of power. Hybrid beamforming (HBF) architecture has drawn considerable attention in the past few years, by significantly decreasing the amount of employed radio frequency (RF) chains and combining high dimensional analog beamforming (ABF) using phase shifters (PS) together with low dimensional digital beamforming (DBF). However, because of the extreme energy consumption and hardware complexity, traditional precoding designs are difficult to implement. In this paper, two HBF techniques are proposed to address the above issue. (i) low complexity precoding known as phased zero forcing (PZF) precoding, which controls phase only in the RF domain (ii) singular value decomposition (SVD) based optimal unconstrained precoding, that can be implemented on inexpensive RF components.

The damage to the housing infrastructure is often quite extensive andits reconstruction takes several years, during which time it is necessary to provide basic livingconditions to refugees and disaster victims until they have the opportunity to move into temporaryor permanent housing facilities. The article also describes the planning process that should becarried out before disasters, as well as types of temporary accommodation and the use of localresources in post-disaster reconstruction. In recent years, we have observed a significant increasein the occurrence of natural disasters and local armed conflicts. In most cases, infrastructure indisaster areas is severely damaged or completely destroyed. Houses and residential buildings arehighly vulnerable to damage and are the most visible aftermath of disasters. At the same time, forthe people affected by these disasters, these are very traumatic experiences. The article describes thekey role of temporary housing during reconstruction after war or humanitarian disasters, identifiescommon problems and suggests some recommendations on how to handle and overcome them.
The World of Theatre in a Time of Change : Before, During and After the Pandemic
Authors: Szitás Péter
Published: March 2023

The past two years have posed unprecedented challenges for the cultural sector as a whole, including theatres. The outbreak of the pandemic, and the restrictions imposed to contain it, turned the institutional routine on its head, placing the world of the performing arts in a dimension alien to it. Our study focuses on the internal processes that characterised theatres before, during and after the pandemic. We will illustrate how the venues have responded to the enforced closures, what they have done to preserve their communities and audiences, and whether they have acquired valuable knowledge at a level that may be applied in returning them to their former domain.
Could the echocardiographic parameters be a predictor to estimate cerebrovascular events in patients with micro-atrial fibrillation?
Authors: Aydın Cihan
Published: March 2023

Objectives: This study examined possible predictors of stroke [left atrial sphericity index (LASI), left atrial kinetic energy (LAKE), left atrial volume index (LAVI) atrial electromechanical delay (AEMD)] intervals in patients with micro-atrial fibrillation (micro-AF). Patients and methods: A total of 102 consecutive patients (40 males, 62 females; mean age: 61.5±9.2 years; range, 18 to 75 years) diagnosed with micro-AF on rhythm Holter were included in this retrospective study between June 2021 and October 2021. Cranial magnetic resonance and computed tomography images of these patients were scanned from the hospital database. The patients were divided into two groups according to their stroke status (Group 1, the stroke group [n=25]; Group 2, the nonstroke group [n=77]). The LASI was calculated as a fraction of the left atrial maximum volume to the left atrial volume of the sphere in a four-chamber view. The biplane method of disks was used to calculate left atrium volume. The LAVI was calculated by dividing left atrium (LA) volume by the body surface area of patients. Atrial electromechanical delay intervals were calculated from the atrial walls by tissue Doppler imaging. These two groups were compared to assess whether echocardiographic parameters could be a predictor of cerebrovascular events. Results: There was a statistically significant difference between Groups 1 and 2 in terms of left (75.7±4.5 vs. 68.4±3.5, p<0.001) and right (69.5±7.1 vs. 57±3.2, p<0.001) atrial lateral wall and LA medial wall (72±4 vs. 66.2±3.5, p<0.001) electromechanical delay times, LAVI (38.9±3.3 vs. 30.9±3.8, p<0.001), LASI (0.78±0.05 vs. 0.67±0.4, p<0.001), and LAKE (3.7±0.9 vs. 7.9±1.9, p<0.001), left atrial diameter (40±5 vs. 38±2, p<0.001). Conclusion: Changes in LASI, LAVI, LAKE, left atrial diameter, and atrial AEMD times may be a predictor of stroke in patients with micro-AF.

Published: March 2023

Skin squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is commonly seen in people with fair skin, high exposure to sunlight, and long-term smokers. A 48-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic with the complaint of nonhealing wounds in many foci on his face. On physical examination, there were ulcerovegetative lesions of 5¥5 cm on the right zygoma, 2¥3 cm on the right lateral of the nasal dorsum, 2¥2 cm on the left zygoma, and two 1x1 cm on the medial of the left zygoma. The patient, whose histopathological examination was reported as SCC, underwent multiple SCC excision, reconstruction with a split-thickness skin graft taken from the anterior thigh region, right superficial parotidectomy, and right level 1-2 neck dissection. The lesions of our patient, who was in the 12th postoperative month, healed close to normal anatomy, and no recurrence has yet been found in the head and neck. In this article, a case of multicentric SCC in the head and neck region is presented with the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up process, together with the current literature.

Authors: Öztürk Yılmaz Gamze
Published: March 2023

Trichoepithelioma is a benign tumor originating from hair follicles. Histopathological examination is crucial in the diagnosis as it can be confused with basal cell carcinoma clinically. A 23-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with complaints of a mass at the entrance of the left external auditory canal, decreased hearing, and occasional ear bleeding for five years, starting after pregnancy. Physical examination revealed a purple-gray mass completely covering the left external auditory meatus. The histopathological examination of the mass, which was surgically excised, was reported as trichoepithelioma. In this article, clinical findings, diagnosis, and surgical treatment process of a case of trichoepithelioma, which is rarely observed in the external auditory canal, were presented in light of current literature.

The study was carried out on 300 milk producing households in Malwa region of Madhya Pradesh to estimate the costs and returns from milk production at farm household level. The individual animal-wise and household-wise costs were estimated using software Milk Production Economics Analysis Package (MILKEcAP:1.0 & 2.0). The findings of the analysis revealed that the overall gross maintenance cost/animal/year in the zone was least (rupees 126.33/animal/day) in case of local cow and highest for crossbred cattle (rupees 169.51/animal/day). The variable costs accounted for nearly 3/4th of the total costs irrespective of category of animals. Feed cost accounted highest to the total costs and it was relatively higher in case of buffalo. The overall cost per litre of milk was highest (rupees 24.84) for buffalo, and lowest for crossbred cow (rupees 22.26). However, due to variability in milk yield, there were wide variability in net economic margins. The net economic margins were almost negligible (rupees 0.62/l) in local cow, comparatively higher in crossbred cow (rupees 2.55/l) and fairly good in buffalo (rupees 5.03/l).

Background: Nursing students have experienced psychological problems like fear, anxiety, and depression during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, nursing students’ coping strategies and the effectiveness of these strategies during the pandemic are unclear.

Methods: The study has a descriptive and cross-sectional design. The sample included 150 surgical nursing students in Turkey in the spring term of the 2020-2021 academic year. Data were collected with a sociodemographic features form, The Fear of COVID-19 Scale and The Coping with the Outbreak Scale. Correlation and regression analyses were performed to determine the factors having a relation with the fear of COVID-19.

Results: The mean score on the Fear of COVID-19 Scale was 19.13±5.09 (Table 3). The fear of COVID-19 had a significant relation with death anxiety (p=0.003) and the feeling of guilt (p=0.032). The mean score on the Coping with the Outbreak Scale was 46.56±12.03 and the mean scores on cognitive coping, transcendental coping and behavioral coping were 9.64±3.47, 9.36±3.50 and 12.18±4.75 respectively. The mean score on coping with COVID-19 had a significant relation with the type of the high school the students graduated from (p=0.025), anxiety about failure to find a job (p=0.0001), death anxiety (p=0.014) and anger (p=0.048).

Conclusions: The students had a moderate level of fear of COVID-19 during the pandemic. They experienced the feelings of fear, guilt, anger, and burnout. They were also anxious about failure to find a job and dying. They had a moderate level of coping with the pandemic

Authors: ÇELİK Ferit , ŞENKAYA Ali
Published: March 2023

Objective: Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a bacterium that infects more than half of the world's population and is defined as a class 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organization. The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of treatments in patients with H. pylori positivity who were treated with a modified sequential treatment regimen containing levofloxacin or a bismuth-based quadruple treatment regimen in a secondary state hospital. Method: This study includes retrospective analysis of 167 patients who received and tolerated H. pylori eradication therapy between April 2021 and April 2022. The patients included in the study were divided into two groups according to the treatment regimen they received. Patients given a modified sequential treatment regimen containing levofloxacin (amoxicillin 1 g 2x1, pantoprazole 40 mg 2x1 for 7 days, followed by pantoprazole 40 mg 2x1 for 7 days, metronidazole 500 mg 3x1, levofloxacin 500 mg 1x1) Group 1 and the patients who were given bismuth-based quadruple therapy (14 days pantoprazole 40 mg 2x1, bismuth subsalicylate 262 mg 2x2, metronidazole 500 mg 3x1 and tetracycline 500 mg 4x1) were determined as Group 2.

Results: A total of 14 patients (one in group 1 and 13 in group 2) could not tolerate H.pylori treatment, and eradication was achieved in 83 (90.2%) in group 1 and 70 (93.3%) in group 2 of 167 patients who completed the treatment. There was no statistically significant difference in eradication success rates in both treatment protocols (p=.470). There was no significant difference between the treatment groups in terms of age, gender, indications for endoscopy, endoscopic diagnoses, pathological findings, and eradication indications.

Conclusion: Considering the eradication success rates found in our study, it supports that the modified sequential treatment regimen containing levofloxacin may be an alternative to bismuth-based treatment in the first-line treatment in our country, or a second-line treatment in patients who cannot tolerate bismuth-based treatment. However, further studies on modified sequential therapy containing levofloxacin are needed.
