Importance of routine health examinations for cats and cat-friendly practices
Authors: Babakıray Tilbe , Güneş Halil
Published: April 2024

This review provides information on the importance of routine health examinations for cats and examines the role of cat-friendly clinic practices in reducing stress for feline patients during clinic visits. Cats instinctively hide their discomfort and illnesses, a behavior that aids survival in the wild. As such, preventive veterinary care is essential for their well-being. Educating cat owners about the importance of routine health examinations is crucial, as it leads to increased veterinary visits. Cats typically experience more stress than dogs during clinic visits, which can create challenging situations and potentially leave a negative impression on pet owners. Although the benefits of preventative health care for felines are well-established, barriers to veterinary care highlight the need for improvements in this area. The implementation of cat-friendly clinic practices and the expansion of accreditation programs in Turkey are expected to enhance the quality of veterinary care for feline patients by creating a more accommodating environment that meets their specific needs, thus reducing their stress and improving their experiences during routine health examinations and hospitalizations.
MicroRNAs as potential biomarkers in ruminant, avian and porcine
Authors: Kalaycılar İsmail Bergutay , Yardibi Hasret
Published: April 2024

In recent years, studies on microRNAs have increased considerably. miRNAs are small RNA molecules, ranging from 19 to 25 nucleotides in length, that control the suppression of target genes after transcription. MiRNAs serve as fine-tuning factors that influence the expression of up to 60% of all mammalian protein-coding genes. Unlike proteins, miRNA sequences are widely conserved across species. This conservation strongly suggests that miRNAs emerged early in evolution and maintain their functional importance. It has been revealed that these small structures containing a small number of nucleotides can act as critical points in the organism. While traditional cancer biomarkers are mainly produced by tumor tissues or normal embryo tissues, they are absent or present in small amounts in tissue organs and the blood of healthy adults. MiRNAs can be easily detected in the blood, making them selectable candidates as biomarkers for disease. The ruminant family, one of the most diverse subspecies of terrestrial mammals, lives in a wide variety of environments worldwide and is known to have a major impact on various ecosystems and industries, including agriculture, daily activities, and cultures. MiRNAs have a significant impact on the physiology of farm animals, biological development, and cell differentiation. In this review, we will examine miRNAs that have been identified as candidates or potential candidates for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases seen in ruminants, pigs, and avians in recent years. In this way, we will provide a perspective to prevent diseases that can cause great economic losses in veterinary medicine and the production industry.

Authors: Özgenç İdil , Birler Sema
Published: April 2024

After in vitro culture of rat embryos, blastocyst rates are lower than the other species because of the embryonic block observed in the 2- or 4-cell stages in vitro. Optimal culture media and systems that provide variable physiologic needs in the different stages of rat embryos. The modifications of rat embryo culture media could have a positive effect on increasing the blastocyst rates. However, since the results of rat embryo studies are changed depending on factors like strains preferred, maintenance conditions and different commercial products added to the culture media, the success rate of producing healthy newborns for reproductive biotechnological studies has not yet reached the desired level by using current embryo culture media. Understanding the needs of rat embryos cultured from zygote to blastocyst stage in vitro is important for successful advanced studies such as cloning and transgenesis. The purpose of this review is the effects of different culture media and media components on the preimplantation stages of rat embryos and get a perspective for developing the culture media
Teachers' Opinions on Second Grade Language Skills of Students Who Learned Initial Literacy Through Distance Education
Authors: Damar Mustafa
Published: April 2024

This study examines teachers' opinions on how the language skills in the second grade (listening, speaking, reading, writing) of students who learned initial literacy in the first grade of elementary school (2020-2021) through distance education due to the pandemic were affected. This study was conducted using a descriptive qualitative research model. The study group comprised 18 teachers who conducted first-grade initial literacy teaching via distance education in 2020-2021 academic year and worked in the second grade during 2021-2022 academic year. Each teacher had instructed first grade at least three times in their career. A semi-structured interview form served as the data collection tool, and thematic analysis was employed for data analysis. The data yielded four themes: listening skills, speaking skills, reading skills, and writing skills, with corresponding sub-themes identified and interpreted. Participants reported that the pandemic led to temporary school closures and a shift from face-to-face to distance learning for first-grade literacy. Consequently, students missed the opportunity to develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills through direct interaction in the classroom. They stated the limitations and conditions of distance education were cited as reasons for this shortfall. As a result, they stated that there are inadequacies in students' listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, and that these inadequacies have a negative impact on their listening skills in the second grade. This resulted in inadequacies in students' listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills, negatively impacting their second-grade. It was reported that there were lack of gains in the achievements of this group compared to the students of previous years, and that these were due to the fact that the initial literacy teaching was carried out through distance education.

Authors: Keskin Bilal , Duman Abdurrahman
Published: April 2024

Climate changes in the world cause an increase in arid areas and saline soils, and at the same time, the increase in extreme climate and soil conditions restricts land use efficiency. In these areas, it becomes difficult to provide silage feed for animals. Therefore, the search for alternative forage plants is also increasing. Quinoa (Chenepodium quinoa Willd.) plant, which is resistant to arid, cold and salty soils, has an important alternative plant potential for silage production in extreme climate and soil conditions. For this purpose, a research was conducted on the silage nutrition values of 2 quinoa varieties (Cherry Vanilla and Read Head) grown at 4 different row spacing distances (17.5, 35.0, 52.5, 70.0 cm). In the research, It is aimed to determine crude ash content (CA), crude protein (CP), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), dry matter digestibility (DMD), dry matter consumption (DMI) and relative feed value (RFV), which have important nutritional values for animals. As a result of the research, it was determined that sowing seeds at different row spacings had a significant effect on CP, NDF, DMI and RFV of quinoa silage. There was no significant difference in the nutritional values of quinoa silage between varieties (except CP). According to the results of the research, it was determined that sowing with wide row spacing increased the nutritional value of quinoa silage.

Screening Organic Acid Contents of Tomato Landraces Collected From Aegean-Mediterranean Region of Anatolia
Authors: Kaya Seçkin , Erken Okan , Kızılkaya Bayram
Published: April 2024

Tomato landraces can serve as valuable sources for breeding new cultivars aimed at enhancing fruit quality in terms of organic acids. Nineteen tomato landraces spread along the Mediterranean coasts of Anatolia were evaluated to determine their basic internal quality parameters and organic acid composition. The parameters assessed included fruit weight, diameter, length, pH, titrable acidity (TA %), soluble solid content (SSC%), SSC/TA ratio, and organic acids, such as oxalic (OA), tartaric (TarA), malic (MA), malonic (MalA), lactic (LA), acetic (AA), citric (CA), and ascorbic acids (AscA). Significant diversity was observed among the different landraces concerning these traits. Citric acid was found to be the most abundant organic acid within the landraces. Notably, the highest and lowest values for CA were recorded in Ege 8 (105.73 mg g-1) and TR62707 (31.10 mg g-1), respectively, making them promising sources for future breeding programs. Ascorbic acid (AscA) exhibited the lowest content among all the organic acids, ranging from 0.06 to 0.12 mg.g-1 (equivalent to 64-116 µg.g-1). Moreover, the landrace TR49646 displayed the highest malic acid content (8.23 mg g-1), making it a potential source for obtaining high malic acid content. Conversely, Ege 6 showed the lowest malic acid content (5.11 mg g-1). For health purposes, the landrace TR63233 was identified as having the lowest oxalic acid content. Multidimensional scale analysis further confirmed the potential candidates identified by the ANOVA and one-way ANOM tests. The results revealed a considerable diversity among the evaluated landraces, and the identified traits could be instrumental in selecting and breeding new cultivars with improved characteristics.

Published: April 2024

In this paper, we establish and describe the notions of fuzzy minimal prime filters of an Almost Distributive Lattice (ADL). We prove that a fuzzy filter is the point wise infimum of all minimal prime fuzzy filters (all fuzzy minimal prime filters) of an ADL. Mainly, we introduce the topological space on the set of all fuzzy minimal prime filters of an ADL (denoted by M(R)). For an ADL R, we prove that an open set M(R) is a base for the topology and it constitutes a base for the subspace topology on a closed set N and they are the only compact open sets.

Hitting the High Notes: Orchestras' Funding Models
Authors: Salvaggio Salvino A.
Published: April 2024

This brief note explores the varied funding models for orchestras worldwide, illustrating how historical, cultural, political, and economic factors shape their financial strategies. Orchestras in Europe often benefit from substantial government support, viewing cultural pursuits as public goods, whereas those in the United States predominantly rely on private funding due to limited public subsidies. A hybrid model is also discussed, prevalent in the UK, Asia, and Australia, which combines governmental support with private sources to ensure financial stability and uphold the cultural significance of orchestral music. The note emphasises the need for skilled management across these diverse funding environments to sustain long-term viability and achieve artistic goals.
Individual differences in acceptance of direct load control
Authors: Vesely Stepan , Klöckner Christian Andreas
Published: April 2024

Consumer acceptance of direct load control is becoming increasingly important as energy systems transition towards greater reliance on intermittent renewable energy sources. Testing a comprehensive model of attitudinal and socio-economic determinants of direct load control acceptance across Europe (survey sample N = 5,970) reveals that attitudes and beliefs specific to direct load control acceptance (social and personal norms, anticipated emotions, and outcome efficacy beliefs) predict acceptance, whereas more general attitudinal variables and socio-economic characteristics play no or only a secondary role. These findings substantially improve our understanding of direct load control acceptance and ultimately provide new directions for the design of soft policy measures to encourage uptake of direct load control services.
This is not the way: Global directional cues do not improve spatial navigation in an immersive virtual environment
Authors: Yüksel Ece , Boogaart Zachary , Weisberg Steven Marc
Published: April 2024

Spatial navigation relies on extracting information from the environment and using that information to determine where to go. To support navigation behavior, navigational aids - like maps, compasses, or global positioning systems (GPS) - offer access to easily extractible information to show the way to go, but do these aids enhance spatial memory? Here, we propose the hypothesis that navigation aids support navigation behavior when they are available, but do not necessarily enhance navigation behavior by improving memory of a space. For instance, a compass provides a global reference direction and bearing, showing its user where North is, but may not result in a more accurate representation of an environment without the compass. Here, we present two experiments evaluating whether people learned a large-scale, immersive virtual environment better when provided with a global reference direction. We also explored whether participants used the provided reference direction to anchor their mental representation of the environment, i.e., whether their alignment of their mental map matched the cued direction. In the first (pre-registered) experiment, we found no evidence of a difference in navigation performance between those who had the compass available and those who did not (n = 54). The second experiment (n = 67) also revealed no difference in participants’ environmental knowledge between a compass condition or a mountain range, which provided a global directional cue in a more salient and concrete form. Exploratory results revealed that participants did not use either cue as a reference direction. Our results inform theories for how reference directions can be used to support spatial navigation behavior and more broadly how external cues are incorporated (or not) into cognitive representations.

The Institutional Stance
Authors: Jara-Ettinger Julian , Dunham Yarrow
Published: April 2024

Human success in constructing and navigating a complex social world is typically associated with the ability to interpret other people’s behavior in terms of mental states—a mentalistic stance. We argue that humans are endowed with a second equally powerful intuitive theory: an institutional stance that interprets social interactions in terms of structured institutional representations. In contrast to the mentalistic stance, which helps us predict and understand unconstrained behavior via unobserved mental states, the institutional stance shapes and regulates behavior via normative expectations embedded in roles (i.e., institutions). Precursors of the institutional stance may also help explain non-human social behavior, supporting social interaction between conspecifics that lack complex models of each others’ mental states. At the same time, the institutional stance is unique in humans in its generative capacity, supporting rapid construction, tracking, and inference of institutional structures that shape our social world and enable the possibility of large scale social coordination and new forms of institutional life. Uniquely-human social cognition is best understood as an interplay between mentalistic mechanisms for predicting others’ behavior embedded in normative institutional structures that help render behavior predictable.
When and Why Do Individuals High in Narcissistic Rivalry Attain Social Status?

Published: April 2024

The current registered report investigated whether individuals high in narcissistic rivalry are more likely to attain status when they have the opportunity to punish uncooperative group members than when they have the opportunity to share their resources with other group members. We conducted a lab-based behavioral experiment (N = 644) in which groups of seven to nine persons interacted in a modified version of the repeated public goods game with punishment. As expected, narcissistic rivalry was more positively related to social status among participants who had the opportunity to punish free riders than among participants who had the opportunity to share their resources. Among participants with opportunity to punish free riders, narcissistic rivalry was positively linked to punishment behavior (r = .14), but we only found anecdotal evidence that those high in narcissistic rivalry also attained status (β = .05). Among participants with opportunity to share their resources, narcissistic rivalry was negatively related to contributing behavior (r = -.25) and status attainment (β = -.19). The extent to which individuals high in narcissistic rivalry benefit the group and attain status appears to depend on the situation, as the situation affects how narcissistic rivalry is expressed and how others evaluate these expressions.
FROM FEDERICA MOGHERINI TO JOSEP BORRELL: THE EVOLVING NATURE OF CULTURAL RELATIONS AND CULTURAL DIPLOMACY IN EU EXTERNAL RELATIONS
Authors: Pilafà Konstantina
Published: April 2024

In recent years the European Union (EU) has put a special focus on cultural policies in its external action, aiming to create multilateral relations through dialogue, cooperation and co-creation. However, this approach does not produce the same results in all countries, and is particularly challenging where and when democracy, rule of law and human rights are not respected. The aim of this thesis is to present the evolution of the EU's approach to cultural relations in the last years, and how and to what extent the war in Ukraine has affected the EU cultural relations with Russia and Belarus. To do so, I have examined academic literature, EU policy documents, articles, and conducted a number of interviews with EU officials and cultural policy experts. Taking into account recent geopolitical events from the annexation of Crimea in 2014, I will discuss how the EU’s liberal aims cope with the realist constraints infusing world’s order.
Election Denial as a News Coverage Dilemma: A Survey Experiment with Local Journalists
Authors: Peterson Erik , McGregor Shannon , Block Ryan
Published: April 2024

In 2022 Republican candidates across the country contested the legitimacy of the prior Presidential election. How journalists cover this topic has important implications for the political information environment and democracy itself. We survey local news reporters covering congressional campaigns and find election denial poses a dilemma for them. Journalists support efforts to increase the public's trust in elections, but also feel compelled to let election deniers explain their views in the news. Using a survey experiment, we show exposure to information about an alternative democracy-framed way of covering this topic changes how journalists approach it by decreasing the appeal of stories that address election denial as an electoral strategy or recirculate rhetoric casting doubt on the legitimacy of elections. Our study shows why the erosion of democratic norms poses a challenge for journalists, while also revealing openness to alternative coverage approaches.

The aim of the study was to investigate peculiarities of Selen accumulation in the Tyumen City landscapes (on the territory of Kalininsky Administrative District). Location and time of the study. The study was conducted in the summer of 2022 on the 2nd supra floodplain terrace of the Tura River in the vicinity of the Meteleva microdistrict, as well as on the gully slope of the Babarynka River in Tyumen. Methods. Methods of geological and soil studies, chemical and statistical methods were used to analyze selenium content in alluvial sediments and its vertical and lateral migration along a slope. Main results. Selenium content was found to change irregularly with the depth both in the alluvial deposits of the 2nd above-floodplain terrace of the river in the area of the Metelev microdistrict and in the soil profile of the Babarynka River slope, varying from 0.015 to 0.053 mg/kg and from 0.01 to 0.09 mg/kg, respectively, and being below the MPC values (according to A. Kloke of 10 mg/kg) and the Clark value of 0.15 mg/kg, proposed by N.A. Grigoriev. Selenium content in meadow-chernozem and loess-loamy soils of Tyumen was not correlated with the soil organic matter content. Conclusion. Selenium content and distribution in the alluvial Quaternary sediments of the 2nd supra floodplain terrace of the Tura River is influenced by many factors, the most important being sediment mineralogy and mechanical properties, as well as conditions of sediment formation in the past. The lateral migration of selenium in landscape components is influenced by the intensity of occurring geomorphologic processes, resulting in selenium accumulation and dispersion.

Authors: Gorkhali Binu , Karki Namrata
Published: April 2024

Background & Objectives: Ageing is associated with several risk factors such as loss of income, loss of spouse, chronic comorbidities, cognitive impairment, bereavement, living alone, decreased physical functionality, and fear of death. Consequently, mental health issues such as anxiety disorders and depression are very common. This study aimed to find the prevalence of anxiety and depression among elderly people living in a community of urban Kathmandu.
Materials and Methods: Levels of anxiety and depression were assessed by interviewing elderly people living in the community of Gokarneswor-7, Kathmandu by using validated Nepali translations of Beck Anxiety Inventory and Geriatric Depression Scale respectively.
Results: One hundred and eight elderly people (52 males, 48%), of mean age 68 years, all living in family, gave complete responses. Both anxiety and depression had prevalence rates of 52% and 2% for severe forms. Comorbidity was found in 36% of the elderly and another 36% had none of the disorders. Anxiety was more common in females and those with comorbid chronic diseases; other socio-demographic factors such as age, occupation, education level, ethnicity, religion, or type of family had no significant association (p>0.05). Depression showed significant association with none of these factors.
Conclusion: Anxiety and depression are common among elderly people living in community in urban Kathmandu. More than one third have both disorders.

Published: April 2024

Background & Objectives: Potential health related risks and spread of communicable disease is one of the challenges of religious mass gatherings. With the rise of globalization, parts of Ayurveda are now popularized as a form of alternative medicine. In Nepal, Ayurveda medicine faces lots of challenges, and is under threat due to inadequate funding, ignorance of modern diagnostic technologies, and insufficient quality research. It is vitally important to continually monitor and promote Ayurveda in the modern era of allopathic medicine. Thus, this study aimed to identify the main complaints and advices on Ayurvedic medicine among pilgrims visiting Vivahpanchmi in Janakpurdham, Madhesh Province, Nepal.
Materials and Methods: The information was gathered from the registration book of pilgrims who attended an Ayurveda health camp at Rangbhumi Maidan (Barahbigha) in December 2023, organized by the Ayurveda and Alternative Medicine center, Janakpurdham Sub Metropolitan office, Dhanusha, Madhesh Province. The extracted data were imported into MS Excel and SPSS 20 was used for analysis. Data were expressed in frequencies and percentage.
Results: Of the 707 pilgrims, 97.7% were from India and 2.3% were from Nepal; 68.9% of the visitors were women and 31.1% were men. Out of all visitors, less than 10% were over 60, and more than half were between the ages of 41 and 60. Gastritis accounted for the highest percentage (45.9%), followed by joint pain, weakness, back pain (31.3%), and coughing (17.1%). Only 4.4% of people reported being constipated.
Conclusion: The most common complaints from Pilgrims were related to gastritis (Amlapitta), which was followed by joint discomfort, weakness, and back pain (Vata). The possible ayurvedic advices and medications were provided and distributed among the pilgrims during Vivahpanchmi.
