Published: January 2021

Objective: In this study, we retrospectively reviewed and statistically analyzed the Cyberknife SBRT outcomes in terms of local control and survival times for the patients with primer lung tumors treated at Anadolu Medical Center.
Methods: We included 135 patients who were treated between 2005 and 2016 and diagnosed primary lung cancer who were judged medically inoperable. median BED10 was 180 Gy (ranging 45-180). The treatment response was assessed using either a CT or a PET-CT scan or both. There were 108 men and 27 women, with an overall median age of 65 years (range 44-88 years). The median follow-up and overall survival were 19 (3-88) and 34 months, respectively.
Results: Overall survival and local control of the patients for 1, 2, 3, 5 years were 88%, 72%, 50%, 39%, and 81%, 54%, 51%, 39%, respectively. 1, 2 and 3 year survival rates for BED10=180Gy group were 89%, 84% and 72% respectively. 1, 2 and 3 year survival rates were found as 88%, 68% and 42% for BED<180Gy, respectively. 1, 2 and 3 year local control rates for BED=180Gy group were found as 92%, 86% and 86% respectively. 1, 2 and 3 year local control rates for BED<180Gy group were found as 78%, 42% and 38%. Local control and overall survival were associated with higher BED10. The difference between survival and local control of BED=180 Gy and BED<180 Gy are significant (p=0.008, p=0.002).
Conclusion: The Cyberknife stereotactic radiosurgery treatment with real-time tumor motion tracking is a promising well tolerated treatment option for inoperable early stage lung tumors.

Published: January 2021

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate Q fever seroprevalence in cattle in Turkey. Q fever is a highly infectious zoonotic disease which is caused by Coxiella burnetii and which has occurrence in many countries of the world. As it is a multiple species disease, many different domestic and wild animals could be the carrier of the pathogen. However, cattle, sheep and goats are the main reservoirs and the disease generally appears with an increase in the cases of abortion and stillbirth.
Methods: Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) is preferred and recommended for the diagnosis of Q fever because they are highly sensitive and easy to use. In this study, blood samples of cattle randomly collected from 22 provinces of Turkey between 2017-2018 were tested by ELISA.
Results: Among 1114 blood samples analyzed, the detected seropositivity level is 18% and provincial seropositivity is between 2.3%-35.2%. Regional results are close to each other changing between 15.1% and 22.3%.
Conclusion: The results gathered have revealed the C. burnetii exposure of cattle in different regions of Turkey.The findings of this study display the necessity of strategies against this disease which poses hazards for both public and animal health. Since this disease leads to serious loss in animal production, determination of the fighting strategies against Q fever and evaluation of the methods after practice is important. This study is believed to contribute to the fight against this disease with the leading and comparable data it presents.

Published: January 2021

The peculiarities of communicative competence of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and dysarthria are discussed. The performed literature review has revealed that almost half of children with ASD show violations of both expressive and impressive speech, and moreover, ambiguous results were obtained regarding existing correlations between speech disorders of children with ASD and children with dysarthria. This necessitated the study on the speech competence of these two children categories. The experiment was attended by 75 preschool children from 4 to 6 years old from Lviv: 25 children with ASD (20 boys and 5 girls), 25 children with dysarthria and 25 children with typical development. The following techniques were used: 1) the technique “Examination of children’s speech readiness for school” to determine children’s communicative competencies; 2) the method “Profile of a child’s social development” to determine their interaction with adults and peers. Basing on the study results, we have found out that only middle or low levels of communicative competencies were observed at preschool children with ASD and children with dysarthria. No children with high or sufficient levels of communicative competence were identified. In terms of communicative activities, there was a qualitative similarity between the two categories of children. However, the study results suggest a significant difference between them: children with ASD interact better with adults than children with dysarthria, while children with dysarthria interact better with peers than children with ASD. Based on the obtained results, a corrective care strategy for the studied children categories has been proposed.

Authors:   The National University “Ostroh Academy”, Nikitchuk Uliana
Published: January 2021

The article presents the study on psychometric properties of the Ukrainian version of Beck Depression Inventory-I examined with the sample of Ukrainian students (N = 234). The importance of such study for Ukrainian psychologists is discussed. Because of the peculiarities of Ukrainian grammar and the results of preliminary pilot research, we developed separate versions of the Ukrainian BDI-I for women (Form A) and men (Form B), which was a novelty of our study. According to the pilot research results, four questionnaire items turned out to be sensitive to gender differences in addressing emotional issues: Sadness, Pessimism, Crying, and Loss of Interest in Sex. Experts were engaged to evaluate the final version (both forms) of translated inventory. Item-total correlations ranged from 0,40 to 0,69 for female Form A and from 0,32 to 0,82 for male Form B. Reliability (internal consistency), concurrent validity, discriminatory power were examined; the fit of the two factor model of depression to the sample data was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis; construct validity was substantiated. The obtained results were discussed in the context of similar world-wide studies. The study mirrored findings of previous investigations on psychometric properties of the BDI and stated that the translated inventory had an excellent internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = 0,91), significant correlations with related variables (0,74 for DASS-21-Depression Scale, 0,67 for DASS-21-Anxiety Scale, 0,64 for DASS-21-Stress Scale), proper discriminatory power (Ferguson’s δ = 0,98) for the Ukrainian student sample. Mean scores for Ukrainian students were compared with those in other studies with non-clinical samples. The limitations and prospects of the study are discussed.
THE WORLD OF DIANE ARBUS: A MODEL OF THE OUTSTANDING ARTIST’S PSYCHOLOGICAL PORTRAIT
Authors:   H.S. Kostiuk Institute of Psychology, the National Academy of Educational Sciences of Ukraine, Samoshchuk Oksana
Published: January 2021

The article author analyzes the factors not only related to Diane Arbus’ formation as an outstanding personality, but also determining the originality of her works. To create Diane Arbus’ psychological characteristics, her biography, autobiographical notes, interviews and other sources were analyzed. The following methods were used: comparison, to compare various data and thoughts about Diane’s personality traits; generalization, to determine the general trend in the artist’s psychological characteristics; and synthesis, to create a model of the photographer’s psychological porter. Diane Arbus’ works can be described by the following qualities: singularity, originality and extremely strong emotionality. The question was also raised whether Diane’s works offended people depicted on them, and whether her photographs were socially correct. Among the leading social factors that influenced Diana’s personality and work, it is necessary examine her close social environment, family, traumatic childhood events and the determining influence of Diane’s teacher - Lisette Model, who revealed Arbus’s creative potential. The article author also investigated the influence of wider social environment, namely, socially significant events: world wars, protests, high-profile political murders, cultural movements, and so on. However, our study has showed that socio-economic or political events had minimal influence on Diane’s personality. Thus, the photographer had such personal trait as resistance to social unrest. The artist’s psychological portrait includes two distinct groups of traits: general, having an impact on Diane’s life, and special, directly related to the specifics of the photographer’s work. Her general features were, in particular: deep introversion, increased emotional sensitivity and anxiety. The article concludes that the choice by Diane Arbus of themes for her works was significantly influenced by traumatic experience of her childhood, as well as empathy, as her permanent personal trait.

PSENEN is a differentially expressed gene in brain metastatic human breast cancer.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: January 2021

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that presenilin enhancer, gamma-secretase subunit, encoded by PSENEN, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast4. PSENEN mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast. Importantly, expression of PSENEN in primary tumors was significantly correlated with patient recurrence-free survival. Modulation of PSENEN expression may be relevant to the biology by which tumor cells metastasize from the breast to the brain in humans with metastatic breast cancer.
Teologi Pastoral dalam Menghadapi Tantangan Kepemimpinan Kristen di Era Post-Modern: Tinjauan Yesaya 40:11
Authors: Lahagu Ardianto
Published: January 2021

Teologi Penggembalaan memiliki tantangan tersendiri menghadapi era postmodern ini. Gejala postmodern yang mengedepankan rasionalitas, pragmatisme dan relativisme menjadikan kebe-naran bersifat subyektif yang didasarkan pada konteks semata. Keengganan menempatkan kebenaran absolut Alkitab, justru semakin membuat teologi pastoral berada pada titik yang terus terkikis habis. Di mana perannya terus digugat dan digantikan oleh disiplin ilmu yang lain. Kini teologi pastoral dipertanyakan relevansinya untuk dapat memberi jawab akan permasalahan-permasalahan penggembalaan masa kini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menjawab relevansi teologi pastoral terhadap tantangan kepemimpinan kristen di era postmodern ini. Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif deskriptif dengan pendekatan studi kepustakaan. Mengana-lisis data jurnal, buku-buku dan juga melakukan tinjauan teologis dengan mengeksegesis Yesaya 40:11 untuk mendapatkan suatu data mengenai informasi-informasi tentang teologi pas-toral guna menjawab tantangan kepemimpinan Kristen masa kini. Penelitian ini telah meng-hasilkan suatu rumusan mengenai teologi pastoral yang masih relevan menjawab tantangan zaman termasuk era postmodern ini. Teologi pastoral harus di dasarkan pada kebenaran absolut Alkitab, di mana telaah melalui eksegesis tekstual Yesaya 40:11 menghasilkan triperan peng-gembalaan yang merupakan satu kesatuan yang harus dikerjakan bersama-sama; gembala, pemimpin, dan manejerial.

Metastasis to the brain is a clinical problem in patients with breast cancer (1-3). We mined published microarray data (4, 5) to compare primary and metastatic tumor transcriptomes for the discovery of genes associated with brain metastasis in humans with metastatic breast cancer. We found that the transmembrane protein 121, encoded by TMEM121, was among the genes whose expression was most different in the brain metastases of patients with metastatic breast cancer as compared to primary tumors of the breast. TMEM121 mRNA was present at increased quantities in brain metastatic tissues as compared to primary tumors of the breast.

Published: January 2021

Hydrocyclone is a simple mechanical device, with no moving parts, where solid particles are separated from liquid with very little head loss. As its name describes, it uses a cyclone or tangential injection flow process enhancing the centrifugal forces and moving solids outwards. The dispersed particles, move downwards in a spiral path into an underflow chamber, while clean liquid move upwards to the center of the spiral, towards the top outlet. In this way, sand and other particles get separated from the water. Due to the various types of sediments in the water the mechanical parts of the turbine are damaged. Mainly sediments which are hard and have sharp edges cause the most damage according to research the most damage is caused to the turbine blade by these sediments such problems arise due to varying climate and terrain of Nepal. This problem of erosion of mechanical part due to sediments has become a global maintenance problem of hydropower plants. This is natural phenomena so it can neither be controlled or completely stopped but it can be managed. So that we used this project as model for protecting turbine blades. The model is designed for the removal of sediments of size around 48microns and larger sizes from sedimental water. The model is designed with combination of 16° cone angles and 0.027, 0.027 and 0.010m inlet, overflow, underflow cylinder diameters. The hydrocyclone is fabricated with 1.6mm thick mild steel sheet. The initial water sand mixture is compared with the resulting underflow and overflow.

Higher Education Instructors’ Usage of and Learning from Student Evaluations of Teaching – Do Achievement Goals Matter?
Authors: Hein Julia , Janke Stefan , Rinas Raven , Daumiller Martin , Dresel Markus , Dickhäuser Oliver
Published: January 2021

Identifying what motivates higher education instructors in their self-regulated learning from stu-dent evaluations of teaching (SET) is important for improving future teaching. In a longitudinal online field study, we investigated how higher education instructors’ achievement goals predict the use of SET(s), processing its results and learning from it. We expected beneficial effects of learning (approach and avoidance) goals and performance approach goals, while performance avoidance goals and work avoidance goals should be detrimental for the learning process. In to-tal, 407 higher education instructors with teaching commitments reported their achievement goals. Out of these participants, 152 instructors voluntarily conducted SET(s) and subsequently reported their learning intentions regarding this student feedback. Using structural equation modelling, we found that learning avoidance goals were positively associated with conducting SET(s) and learning approach goals were positively associated with learning intentions. These findings highlight the importance of learning goals for instructors’ use of SET(s).

‘When I’m retired...’: Using topic modeling to analyze open-ended survey questions in the A Broader Mind Longitudinal Survey
Authors: de Wit Arjen
Published: January 2021

Besides the standard survey instruments that are based on closed-ended items, open-ended questions can provide rich data. In this document I analyze the answers to an open-ended survey question in which respondents are asked to imagine themselves in the future. I go through the analysis step by step, sharing R script and output. Data are used from the A Broader Mind Longitudinal Survey, an annual survey that tracks the civic, social, professional and academic development of students at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) distinguished three topics in the open answers, reflecting the importance of (1) a steady job, (2) sufficient time for family, and (3) a contribution to society. A survey experiment showed that the wording of the question affected the prevalence of topics.

Globalization, Citizenship, and Subjectivity in Self Construction
Authors: Poudel Namita
Published: January 2021

One of the profound questions that troubled many philosophers is– “Who am I?” where do I come from? ‘Why am I, where I am? Or “How I see myself?” and maybe more technically -What is my subjectivity? How my subjectivity is formed and transformed? My attempt, in this paper, is to look at “I”, and see how it got shaped. To understand self, this paper tries to show, how subjectivity got transformed or persisted over five generations with changing social structure and institutions. In other words, I am trying to explore self-identity. I have analyzed changing subjectivity patterns of family, and its connection with globalization. Moreover, the research tries to show the role of the Meta field in search of subjectivity based on the following research questions; how my ancestor’s subjectivity changed with social fields? Which power forced them to change their citizenship? And how my identity is shaped within the metafield? The methodology of my study is qualitative. Faced to face interview is taken with the oldest member of family and relatives. The finding of my research is the subjectivity of Namita Poudel (Me) is shaped by the meta field, my position, and practices in the social field.

Authors: Wagle Shyam Prasad
Published: January 2021

This abstract starts with the purpose of the study of the impact of using new technologies on cropping pattern particularly in the case of the Eastern hills. It also examines the role of governmental organizations and non-governmental organizations to improve agricultural systems of this area. Relevant data have been obtained from both primary and secondary sources. It draws on the data collected from interview, focus group discussion, key informant survey, and field observation. For this, 30 percent sample households were selected from three altitude belts such as upper, middle and lower, ranging from 300 to 2,250 masl along the Koshi-highway. It has a wide range of climates, ranging from sub-tropical to alpine with monsoon precipitation in the summer for three and half months, and therefore it has diversity in flora and fauna and people. Similarly, secondary data have been collected from various books, journals and official records.

This paper has showed that the crucial impact of acceptance of innovative methods in agriculture in the study area is a joint effort of local people, government, and non-government agencies too. The government with the development agencies and non-government organizations has contributed to impart knowledge of the agriculture innovative methods to the local farmers. At the same time, the farmers were enthusiastic to learn and adopt those methods. Consequently, one can easily see the remarkable changes in cropping pattern due to the impact of such innovations. The cereal crops based on agricultural system is gradually moving towards high value off-season crops farming.

Observation and verification of the Fresnel and Arago interference laws using adaptive photodetectors
Authors: Montero P. Rodríguez
Published: January 2021

The Fresnel and Arago interference laws relate the polarization of the electromagnetic field to the interference phenomenon. Different methods and interferometers have been reported to verify these laws; most of them rely on visual inspection to determine the positions of maximum and minimum interference. In this report, the observation and verification of the Fresnel and Arago interference laws using adaptive photodetectors are presented. These photodetectors generate an electrical current proportional to the square of the visibility of the interference pattern; thus the gradual change from the appearance of the interference pattern (maximum visibility) to its disappearance (minimum or null visibility) is detected as an electrical current. The extreme values of the interference pattern visibility can be accurately assessed, in real time and without any signal processing using. A difference of 3 orders of magnitude between the signals measured in the positions of maximum and minimum interference is demonstrated. Due to the adaptive properties of the adaptive photodetectors (compensation of the irregularities of the interfering beams and suppression environmental fluctuations), the proposed method can be suitable for teaching purposes in undergraduate laboratories.
Accuracy and Ethics, Feelings and Failures: Youth Experimenting with Documentary Practices of Performing Reality
Authors: Gallagher Kathleen , Mealey Scott , Jacobson Kelsey
Published: January 2021

For young artists and their educators, the adoption of documentary theatre practices can be deeply appealing given their seemingly privileged capacity to truthfully represent the multi-faceted realities of contemporary life. The often ubiquitous impulse, however, toward straightforward, narrative representations may in fact betray the reality (felt and lived) that young people seek to earnestly convey. This article, drawing on three different examples of youth engagement with documentary and oral history theatre techniques in the cities of Toronto (Canada) and Tainan (Taiwan), explores how young theatre-makers find themselves wrestling with the ethics of unsettling and/or reinforcing the performance and reception of real stories in “the right way.” The authors conclude by advocating for an uncynical praxis of failure that resists well-intentioned, normative performances of past “truths” and makes instead disruptive and often messy space for socio-political, pedagogical, and aesthetic possibilities.

Making the Unwanted Visible: A Narrative on Abdülhamid Ii’s Ambitious Project for Yedikule Central Prison in Istanbul
Authors: Katipoğlu Özmen Ceren , Sezer Selahaddin
Published: January 2021

This study aims to investigate three architectural projects proposed for constructing a central prison inside the Yedikule Fortress in Istanbul during the end of the 19th c. Ottoman State assigned the famous architects of the era for this mission such as August Jasmund, Alexandre Vallaury, and Kemaleddin. The narration on the projects shows that there was a strong intention for constructing a central prison in the capital of Ottoman Empire as a sign of success for the overall penalty and prison reform that was one of the main goals for Ottoman Sultan Abdülhamid II (r. 1876-1909). The interpretation of these distinctive projects is significant since this interpretation helps us both to understand the transformation of the criminal justice spaces of the Ottoman Empire and to provide a new perspective for reading 19th c. Ottoman architecture.

The influence of emergency situations on the psychological state of the victims is shown. Their frequency, typical for the modern world, carries threats to life and personal dangers. The negative thing is that emergency situations occur suddenly and at night, are accompanied by disruption of communications, and in cases of natural disasters, a sharp deterioration in weather conditions occurs. It has been proven that 12-15% of persons in emergency situations retain self-control, the ability to rationally assess the situation, to act clearly and decisively even in the most difficult conditions. The basis for this is the level of psychological protection that is formed in everyday activities. The reaction (passive, active) of people to emergencies is revealed. In some, the sense of danger turns into feelings of doom and inevitability, they become completely helpless, confused, incapable of purposeful actions (for example, to protect). Others – under the influence of a threatening situation, they feel the rise of spiritual and physical strength, they can begin to act more persistently and tirelessly. In some people, the instinct of self-preservation causes a desire to escape, to avoid threatening circumstances, in others it mobilizes and tunes in to active actions. Speaking about assessing the negative impact of certain adverse factors that arise during emergencies, one should distinguish between normal and pathological reactions of people. In the first case, the psychological clarity of the reaction becomes important, its occurrence, as a result of an emergency, and mainly a short duration. The working capacity of a person is preserved (albeit reduced), there is contact with people around him, and a critical assessment of his actions remains. Six stages of behavior of people caught in an emergency situation are identified, the behavior of each stage is characterized. Under the influence of stress factors, there is a risk of pathological changes in the structure of the personality, which are the basis for the development of personal disharmony. To reveal individual and collective methods of protecting people in emergency situations (a person's desire to go beyond the influence of harmful factors (to avoid danger, to protect himself, etc.). Panic was revealed as the most dangerous and negative factor caused by real or perceived danger, which may involve one or more people.

Published: January 2021

Purpose of research is to consider the culture and art of the Renaissance and explore the semantics of religious images of the outlined period. Methodology. The tasks posed in this work led to the use of the following research methods, namely: analysis and synthesis, generalization and systematization of theoretical material, comparison and generalization of the result obtained in the process of studying theoretical material and specialized publications covering this issue. The solution of the tasks was achieved by applying the comparative historical, descriptive, logical and systemic methods. Scientific Novelty. The semantics of biblical images in the works of Renaissance artists are revealed. Conclusions. In the Renaissance, a completely new self-consciousness of a person is formed, among spiritual values, preference is given to the nobility and personal merits of the person. The meaning of life is not laid in the salvation of the soul, but in creativity, self-knowledge, serving humanity, society and not God. God, giving man free will, gave him the right to create his own destiny and determine his place in the world. Since the church of that time still had great power, the basic ideas of artists of that time were embodied in works with a religious theme, but in their painting, there were existing contradictions between the humanistic, deep life content ant traditional religious subjects. The works of the renaissance conveyed the being of the person around whom the biblical painting took place, all this was on one plane.

Rapping French Cities in the 1990s
Authors: Downing Joseph
Published: January 2021

The scholarship on French rap has thus far paid too little attention to social boundary making. This is important given the long-standing sociological importance of territorial boundaries in creating and reenforcing marginalization, especially for ethnic and racial minorities, in French cities. This article highlights the process of boundary making by presenting an analysis of 364 rap tracks from the 1990s. The results demonstrate stark contrasts: 94 percent of Marseille rappers depict boundaries at the city level, while 68 percent of Paris rappers use districts (arrondissements and suburban départements) as the key signifiers of boundary making. Paris rap follows an established pattern of brightening existing socioeconomic and territorial boundaries through lyrics that focus on alienation and marginalization. Rap from Marseille follows a countervailing logic of blurring socioeconomic and territorial boundaries through lyrics that strive to capture a lived, inclusive multiculturalism in the city.

At present it is known that the morphology of the tongue mucous membrane is significantly impacted by the state of the internal organs that is manifested indirectly through the nervous and circulatory systems. This necessitates a detailed study of the structure of the tongue vascular system. The aim of this study was to investigate the morphology of tongue vascular bed in intact white rats. The study was performed on 10 outbred white rats of both sexes, weighing 204±0.67 g. The experiment was conducted in accordance with the bioethical norms and ethical principles of work with experimental animals. Traditional paraffin and semi-thin sections were made from the preparations of the tongue and then examined with a light microscope. We have found the tongue vascular bed in white rats by its general characteristics is very similar to the vascular bed morphology of human tongue. We distinguish two relatively autonomous associations of blood micro vessels in the tongue circulatory bed of white rats. The first is represented by a capillary network running through the muscles of the tongue and providing trophism of the muscles and small salivary glands of the tongue. The second is localized in the lamina propria of the mucous membrane and, in turn, is divided into a superficial capillary network in the connective tissue papillae, the main purpose of which is indirect provision of trophic processes of multilayered squamous keratin epithelium, and deep capillary network providing blood supply to the connective tissue. The microcirculatory bed of the tongue mucous membrane in white rats has noticeable differences in metric parameters in the area of the apex, body and basal parts, which must be taken into account when interpreting experimental studies.
