Duración e intensidad de la puesta y su dependencia del tamaño corporal: El caso del bonito Euthynnus alletteratus capturado en el suroeste del Golfo de México
Authors: Cruz-Castán Roberto , Meiners-Mandujano César , Curiel-Ramírez Sergio
Published: September 2019

In terms of fish dynamic population, reproduction is a process related with corporal size of each population member, which is tied with the spawning time and number of eggs produced. In order to relate the size of female little tuny (Euthynnus alletteratus), located in the southwest Gulf of Mexico, and its contribution in reproductive process, cycle and reproductive characteristics were analyzed by different size groups. Biological data were obtained by the artisanal fishing fleet of Antón Lizardo Veracruz community (Mexico). A total of 480 fish were caught from December 2009 to November 2012. Size structure, gonadosomatic index and duration and intensity spawning index (IDI) were determined. The gonadosomatic index showed a decrease in the population after April and July. Nevertheless, these months and the fraction of spawning female may vary depending on size groups. According with the IDI, the individuals with the highest contribution in reproductive process belong to sizes from 44 to 56 cm. Therefore, in order to guarantee the conservation of this species, it is imperative to mainly direct the management measures towards the females from these sizes.
Os desafios da recuperação da informação na era digital

Published: September 2019

A era digital e a recuperação da informação. O excesso de informação disponibilizado na internet, sem a obediência de um padrão específico, causou uma dificuldade de acesso. Os metadados, informações que descrevem a forma ou o conteúdo de uma fonte para sua futura recuperação, devem obedecer a uma construção que facilite a interoperabilidade entendida como uma condição para que haja comunicação nos sistemas de informação em rede. Dessa forma, este estudo objetiva conhecer a abordagem do tema recuperação da informação na era digital, em especial, a Busca Federada e o protocolo OAI-PMH dissertados nos periódicos brasileiros especializados na área de biblioteconomia e ciência da informação, indexados na Base de Dados Referenciais de Artigos de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação (BRAPCI), a partir dos anos 2000. Trata-se, portanto de uma pesquisa bibliográfica, no sentido mais amplo do termo, como corpus de análise utiliza os artigos que tratam dos temas Busca Federada e protocolo OAI-PMH dos periódicos, corpus documental, indexados na Base de Dados Referenciais de Artigos de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação (BRAPCI). Conclui que as motivações das pesquisas analisadas versavam, entre outras, em compartilhar conhecimentos, elencar conceitos, apresentar propostas de arquitetura da informação, discutir e propor soluções na interoperabilidade entre as bibliotecas digitais.
O percurso discursivo da ciência da informação no Brasil: análise dos periódicos Ciência da Informação e Perspectivas em Ciência da Informação em 1970,1980 e 1990
Authors: Silva Xavier Ana Laura , Caprioli Mariana Da Silva , Lima Larissa De Mello , Ernesto de Moraes João Batista
Published: September 2019

A partir da década de 1970, a Ciência da Informação se desenvolve em território brasileiro constituindo assim um percurso conceitual, discursivo e histórico passível de ser confrontado pelos pressupostos teóricos e metodológicos da Análise do Discurso de matriz francesa. No presente trabalho o problema pode ser definido através da seguinte pergunta: “Qual o discurso criado pela Ciência da Informação em suas décadas inaugurais?” Para respondê-la o objetivo é mostrar o delineamento que foi realizado do percurso conceitual e discursivo da área no Brasil nas décadas de 1970, 1980 e 1990. Como resultado foi possível verificar que nas três décadas legitima-se a discrepância entre as definições acerca da área, ou seja, não há um equilíbrio epistemológico acerca do que seria a Ciência da Informação mas sim, dois pólos de atuação: o que encara a Ciência da Informação enquanto Interdisciplinar, sendo mais teórico, e o polo que mostra a responsabilidade da Ciência da Informação na atualidade, sendo este mais concreto.

Aquisição de relativas e Economia (Acquisition of Relativization and Economy)
Authors: Lessa-de-Oliveira Adriana Stella Cardoso
Published: September 2019

Este estudo focaliza a aquisição das estratégias relativas em português brasileiro (PB), com base em corpora naturalísticos-longitudinais investigados por Lessa-de-Oliveira (2008). Assumindo a noção Economia de Hornstein (2007) para movimento, proponho que a relativa padrão é adquirida antes da não-padrão, no caso das relativas não-preposicionais, porque esta é a opção mais econômica. E, com base na noção de Economia de Roeper (2003) e nas propostas de Kato (1993) e Kato e Nunes (2009) para as estruturas de relativas não-padrão em PB, argumento que a dificuldade na aquisição das relativas com pied-piping se deve a uma complexidade inerente à operação de pied-piping.PALAVRAS-CHAVES: Aquisição da Linguagem. Economia (Sintaxe). Relativas Apositivas. Relativas Não-Padrão. Relativas Restritivas.
ABSTRACT This study focuses on the acquisition of relativization strategies in Brazilian Portuguese (BP), based on corpora investigated by Lessa-de-Oliveira (2008). Assuming Hornstein’s (2007) Economy notion to movement, I propose that the standard relativization strategy is acquired before the non-standard strategy in the case of the non-prepositional relatives because it relies on the more economical option. Moreover, using Roeper’s (2003) Economy notion and Kato’s (1993) and Kato and Nunes’s (2009) proposal to structures of non-standard relatives in BP, I argue that the difficulty in the acquisition of pied-piping relatives is due to the inherent complexity of the pied-piping operation.KEYWORD: Language Acquisition..

Beyond morphological use: what semantic knowledge tells us about aspect in L2 portuguese (Além do uso morfológico: o que o conhecimento semântico nos diz sobre o aspecto em português como L2)
Authors: Rothman Jason , Iverson Mike
Published: September 2019

This study investigates the acquisition of [±perfective] aspect in L2 Portuguese via knowledge of the [± accidental] distinction that obtains between the Preterit and Imperfect in adverbially quantified sentences (LENCI; BERTINETTO, 2000; MENÉNDEZ-BENITO, 2002). Crucially, we show that intermediate L2 learners demonstrate phrasal semantic knowledge that we argue is accessed via the acquisition of new L2 features. As a result, we contend that the data support theories of adult UG-continuity (DUFFIELD; WHITE, 1999; SCHWARTZ; SPROUSE, 1996) and provide evidence in contra so-called Failed Features accounts of SLA (BECK, 1998; HAWKINS; CHAN, 1997). Furthermore, we discuss these data in light of probabilistic approaches to SLA, which interpret errors in morphological use at this level as evidence of underlying deficits in L2 mental representations. With others, we argue that morphological performance alone is neither a direct nor an exact measure of linguistic competence (PRÉVOST; WHITE, 2000; LARDIERE, 1998, 2006).KEYWORDSS: L2 acquisition. Aspect in L2 portuguese. Theories of adult UG-continuity.

RESUMO Esse estudo investiga a aquisição do aspecto [±perfeito] em português L2, mediante conhecimento da distinção [± acidental] que ocorre entre o pretérito perfeito e imperfeito em frases com quantificação adverbial (LENCI; BERTINETTO, 2000; MENÉNDEZ-BENITO, 2002). Mostramos que os aprendizes L2 intermediários demonstram conhecimento da semântica sintagmática, que conforme argumentamos é acessível por meio da aquisição de novos traços da L2. Como resultado, propomos que os dados dão suporte a teorias de continuidade da GU (DUFFIELD; WHITE, 1999; SCHWARTZ; SPROUSE, 1996) e oferecem evidência contra as assim chamadas propostas de Traços Malsucedidos (FAILED FEATURES; BECK, 1998; HAWKINS; CHAN, 1997) para ASL (aquisição de segunda língua). Além disso, discutimos tais dados considerando abordagens probabilísticas para ASL, que interpretam erros de uso morfológico nesse nível como evidência de déficits subjacentes das representações mentais de L2. Em consonância com outros autores, argumentamos que o desempenho morfológico não é por si só uma medida direta ou exata da competência linguística (PRÉVOST; WHITE, 2000; LARDIERE, 1998, 2006).PALAVRAS-CHAVES: Aquisição de L2.

Published: September 2019

El éxito de los casos de emprendimiento se fundamenta en que los actores involucrados descubran sus necesidades y se planteen retos, desde la construcción de saberes propios, en los campos de la economía, la administración y la organización productiva. Para lograr este propósito, se debe comenzar por los conocimientos adquiridos y las herramientas que permitan acceder a diferentes formas de elaboración de productos. Para esta investigación se parte del producto artesanal elaborado con material de alcances de los estudiantes, aplicando las técnicas y conocimientos adquiridos en el transcurso de la vida estudiantil. Por tal motivo, en la Universidad Laica Eloy Alfaro de Manabí, se está construyendo una manera diferente de poder emprender que, a través de materiales que pueden reusarse en la elaboración de productos. Esto se lleva a cabo en ferias estudiantiles, donde se enlaza los procesos de creatividad y conocimiento, que permite tener una identidad institucional de artesanos microemprendedores. Además, se constató que brinda una solución administrativa a distintas necesidades de gestión y de comercialización, promoviendo un entorno de sociabilidad y cultura empresarial en donde se refuerzan los aspectos de solidaridad y cooperación entre el Estado y el emprendedor.

Published: September 2019

The thymus is the primary lymphoid organ involved in the regulation of the immune and endocrine systems. It is particularly sensitive to various types of stress, which induce its atrophy. This study deals with the effect of repeated restraint stress on the weight, proliferation and apoptosis of the thymus in mice. During restraint, the animals were placed in 50-mL conical plastic tubes for 2 h every day for either 10 or 20 consecutive days. A significant reduction in thymus weight along with decreased cellularity and pronounced atrophy of the cortical part of the thymus was observed in animals exposed to repeated tube-restraint stress for 10 and 20 consecutive days. The observed changes in the thymus were the same, regardless of the number of days of exposure to stress. These findings provide a more comprehensive view of repeated tube-restraint, with special emphasis on its duration on stress-induced thymus atrophy. The presented findings could serve as a basis for further studies aimed at identifying the mechanisms responsible for the adaptive response of the thymus after repeated exposure to stress.

Background/Aim. The incidence of postoperative delirium (POD) after non-cardiac surgery is a problem not often recognized by many anesthesiologists. The objective of our study was to detect POD and its possible cause, in patients undergoing radical retropubic prostatectomy (RRP) under general anesthesia. Methods. After Ethical Committee approval, we enrolled 80 patients, ASA (the American Society of Anestesiology) status II, scheduled to undergo RRP un-der general anesthesia, in a prospective study. All patients completed MMSE tests (the Folstein Mini Mental State Ex-am) the evening before, and 48 hours after the surgery. Assessment for the presence and severity of delirium was per-formed using CAM (the Confusion Assessment Method), and an assessment of the degree of agitation and sedation using RASS (the Richmond Agitation and Sedation Scale). Results. The average preoperative MMSE score (28.59 ? 1.04) significantly decreased following the surgery (27.74 ? 1.52) (p < 0.0001). The average postoperative MMSE score trend descended in correlation to intraoperative bleeding (p = 0.036). The patients with higher pain scores had significant decline in MMSE after the surgery (28.75 vs. 26.25; p < 0.001). Five patients were considered positive for delirium, and four of them reported regular alcoholic drinks intake (> 1 drink per day) preoperatively (p < 0.0001). Based on RASS score, 13 patients (16.3%) were agitated or sedated, and they had statistically significantly higher intraoperative bleeding (p < 0.001). Conclusion. Results of this study emphasize the importance of proper preoperative evaluation; especially regarding the alcohol consumption since all the patients that developed POD reported moderate alcohol consumption. Further-more, greater intraoperative bleeding and postoperative pain scores did not influence the occurrence of delirium, but resulted in lower postoperative MMSE scores, which high-lights the importance of adequate intraoperative treatment of patients during surgery and anesthesia in order to reduce the risk of developing POD.
Rare case of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor presenting with pneumothorax
Authors: Vesovic Radomir , Radovanovic Dragan , Stojsic Jelena , Popovic Marko , Moromila Marina
Published: September 2019

Introduction. An inflammatory myofibroblastic tumor (IMT) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of unclear etiology, which demonstrates myofibroblastic differentiation accompanied by inflammatory cells. IMT is a frequent primary lung tumor in children and is of nonspecific symptomatology and imaging methods. Its definitive diagnosis requires histopathology and immunohistochemistry of the tissue sample obtained after a rigid bronchoscopy or after complete surgical resection. Case report. A 16-year-old male patient was admitted to our clinic for further treatment of IMT verified by rigid bronchoscopy. He had previously been treated at another institution for left-sided pneumothorax with thoracic drainage. Since it had not resulted in lung reexpansion, a chest computed tomography was performed followed by rigid bronchoscopy that eventually established IMT diagnosis in the distal part of the left main bronchus. Since the tumor sur-rounded the left lobar carina and infiltrated the pulmonary artery, pneumonectomy was undertaken. Its morphology and immunoprofile determined the IMT diagnosis. Four years after surgical resection, the patient showed no recidivism of the illness. Conclusion. IMT is one of the most frequent primary lung tumors in children and needs to always be suspected up-on. Pneumothorax can appear as an IMT manifestation. Its occurrence could be the consequence of either a visceral pleura lesion in case of peripheral tumors or a ball valve mechanism in case of endobronchial tumors. Definitive diagnosis of IMT requires not only histopathology but also immunohistochemical analysis. Complete surgical resection results in the best survival rates. Further monitoring of patients is necessary due to the risk of recurrence.

Published: September 2019

Background/Aim. Surgical registries and databases are especially valuable in monitoring the performances in cancer treatment and detecting potential problems. For Serbian patients with colorectal cancer (CRC), data regarding the treatment received, the factors that may impact the outcome, and whether or not treatment is successful and appropriate are not currently captured. The aim of this study was to establish a collection of a consensus dataset capturing surgical treatment of CRC at multiple public hospitals across Serbia and estimate outcome in CRC patients subjected to surgical treatment in the period 2010?2014. Methods. The study encompassed all 52 public CRC surgical units in Serbia. Numerical data on all patients who underwent operative CRC resection were included. An electronic database was created and overseen by the First Surgical Clinic of the Clinical Center of Serbia, Belgrade. Data were collected independently using a specifically designed standardized questionnaire, including the number of operated patients, localization of the primary tumor, type of surgical intervention, type and urgency of surgical intervention, and postoperative mortality. Results. A total number of 22,037 colorectal surgical procedures was performed in Serbia in the period 2010?2014 (approximately 4,400 per year). It was shown that 78.5% of the total number of procedures were elective and 21.5% were emergency. The most common cause of emergency surgeries was ileus (3,618 cases, 76.4%), while the less common causes were perforation (899 cases, 18.9%) and bleeding (216 cases, 4.5%). Postoperative mortality during the study period expressed as a percentage of all interventions for CRC was 2.8% on average with a slight increasing tendency. At the end of the study period, 127 doctors were educated for performing colonoscopy. Conclusion. The main outcome of this study was the establishment of the necessary preconditions for the multicenter data collection involving large numbers of CRC patients. The study supported the premise that the development of the national database for surgical treatment of CRC is achievable and could provide valuable insight into the routine surgical management of CRC in Serbia, creating a significant resource for further research.

Background/Aim. The treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) has changed dramatically with the advent of targeted therapies. This study aimed to assess the efficacy of generic imatinib in CML patients treated in our center. Methods. The study was retrospective. It included 101 patients diagnosed with CML ? chronic phase (CP). The patients were divided into two groups. Group 1 included 55 patients initially treated with branded imatinib and then switched to generic imatinib. Group 2 consisted of 46 newly diagnosed patients who received only generic imatinib from the beginning of therapy. Results. The patients were treated with branded imatinib for the mean of 42 months (range 6?132 months) before switching to generic imatinib. Treatment with generic imatinib lasted for 25 months on average (range 3?66 months). A quarter of the patients from the group 1 lost their cytogenetic reponse after being switched to generic imatinib, but with-out signs of transformation to acute leukemia. The patients treated with branded imatinib had a significantly longer event-free survival (EFS) and failure-free survival (FFS) (log-rank p = 0.01 and p = 0.03, respectively). These results could have been influenced by frequent changes of the brand and dosage formulation of generic imatinib. Conclusions. Our study showed a significantly longer EFS and FFS in the patients who were initially treated with branded imatinib, compared to those treated with generic imatinib only. These results provide useful information, but have to be interpreted within the context of the crossover study.
Is there a correlation between blood glucose curve and the insulin resistance during oral glucose tolerance test in females suffering from polycystic ovary syndrome?
Authors: Spremovic-Radjenovic Svetlana , Pupovac Miljan
Published: September 2019

Background/Aim. Insulin resistance occurs in approximately 60?80% of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and in 95% of obese women with PCOS. Previous studies have shown that the shape of the glucose curve obtained during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) may be useful as a metabolic screening parameter and could give in-sight into the future risk of diabetes mellitus type II. The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of insulin resistance according to the Homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and indirect assessment method of insulin resistance based on insulinemias during the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (here in after ?insulinemias during the OGTT?), as well as, frequency of glucose curve shapes (monophasic, biphasic, triphasic) in patients with PCOS. Also, the aim of research was testing the correlation between glucose curve shape and peak time of glucose during the OGTT with presence of insulin resistance in patients with PCOS. Methods. Patients were observed according to the following parameters: presence of insulin resistance, glucose curve shape and peak time of glucose and insulin during the OGTT. Results. The observed prevalence of insulin resistance in the PCOS group according to the HOMA-IR > 2.5 was 66.19% and according to insulinemias during the OGTT was 78.42%. The shape of the glucose curve was monophasic in 293 (70.26%), biphasic in 56 (13.43%) and triphasic in 68 (16.31%) of patients. There was statistically significant difference in the frequency of insulin resistance, according to glucose curve shape, only when it was defined by insulinemias during the OGTT (p = 0.005). Conclusion. According to results of the study, the most patients with PCOS have a monophasic shape of glucose curve. When we take frequency of insulin resistance in account, we notice approximately the same frequency in all types of curves, when it is defined by the HOMA-IR. On the other hand, when insulin resistance is defined by insulinemias during the OGTT, resistant patients with PCOS mostly have triphasic glucose curve shape.
Catamenial pneumothorax after multiple failed in vitro fertilization cycles
Authors: Milacic Bojan , Vujadinovic Obrad , Vukcevic Batric , Milic Petar
Published: September 2019

Introduction. Catamenial pneumothorax is spontaneous pneumothorax occurring within 72?96 h before and after menstrual bleeding. It is frequently associated with thoracic endometriosis. However, certain cases are not associated with any identifiable thoracic pathology. Case report. A 42-year-old woman with a history of pelvic endometriosis presented with sudden cough and shortness of breath on the first day of menstrual bleeding. Chest radiography revealed a complete right pneumothorax. The patient had previously undergone 7 failed in vitro fertilization cycles. Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery showed pulmonary bullous lesions and a diaphragmatic fenestration. Atypical resection of the pulmonary apex was performed by an endostapler. Diaphragm plication was performed using Ethibond sutures. Definitive histopathological examination of the pulmonary tissue was negative for endometriosis. A postoperative course of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist triptorelin was administered during a period of 6 months. The patient's postoperative recovery was uneventful, without recurrence of pneumothorax to this day. Conclusion. There is a possibility that ovarian hyperstimulation caused the rupture of the pulmonary bullae. The patient may have developed endometriotic diaphragmatic fenestrations, activated by ovarian hyperstimulation, leading to pneumothorax. Early diagnosis and timely surgical treatment dealing with all thoracic pathology, as well as adjuvant hormonal treatment, may reduce the recurrence rate of catamenial pneumothorax.
Rational and reliable diagnosis of periprosthetic hip and knee joint infection using two nuclear-medicine methods: 99mTc-ciprofloxacin and 99mTc-MDP scintigraphy
Authors: Pucar Dragan , Jankovic Zoran , Starcevic Srdjan
Published: September 2019

Background/Aim. There is a constant and dramatic in-crease in hip and knee prosthetic implantations worldwide. However, a decrease in the percentage of failed (infected) prosthetic implantations is not significant (0.5% up to 2%). The real challenge is whether prosthetic joint loosening was caused by aseptic inflammation or by infection. The aim of the present study was to attempt to distinguish sterile inflammation from infection in patients with a painful hip or knee prosthetic joint. Another objective was to determine the accuracy of cumulative bone scintigraphy with methylenediphosphonate (MDP) and ciprofloxacin in diagnosis of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Methods. Three-phase bone scintigraphy with 99mTc-MDP and 99mTc-ciprofloxacin was used. The patient selection criterion for this study was a suspicion of PJI followed by painful and limited movement of the prosthetic joint, accompanied by elevated unspecific inflammatory factors. Forty five patients with 39 implanted hips and 24 knee prostheses were included and evaluated. All prosthetic joints were examined (although some of them were asymptomatic) and underwent plain radiography. An average time span between the two nuclear medicine imaging procedures was 3?5 days. Three-phase 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy was performed first. Scintigraphy with 99mTc-ciprofloxacin was necessarily involved calculation of the accumulation index. The obtained results were confirmed by microbiological findings as a gold standard. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using SPSS version 20 software (descriptive statistics, ?2-test). Sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values were also calculated. Results. Microbiologically confirmed PJI was found in 16 out of 39 hip prostheses. Positive scintigraphy was obtained in 15 out of 39 prosthetic hip joints. PJI was found using scintigraphy of the knee, and microbiologically con-firmed in all 13 out of 24 suspected joints. Estimated sensitivity/specificity of 99mTc-MDP bone scintigraphy alone (for both joints) was 90%/69%, for 99mTc-ciprofloxacin scintigraphy it was 93%/97%, and for cumulative results it was 96.5%/97%. Conclusion. Cumulative 99mTc-MDP scintigraphy with 99mTc-ciprofloxacin scintigraphy increases the ability of differentiation between aseptic loosening and PJI, with high accuracy of 97%.
Financial Statement Aggressiveness Related to Tax Accounts and Tax-Related Accounting Misstatements
Authors: Burton Hughlene A. , Tanyi Paul N.
Published: September 2019

In this study, we examine two questions: (1) whether financial statement aggressiveness related to tax accounts is associated with the likelihood of having tax-related misstatements in the financial statements, and (2) whether the disclosure of the need to restate prior years' financial statements for a tax-related reason influences tax-related financial statement aggressiveness related to tax accounts in the fiscal year of announcement. Recent evidence of an increase in the rate of tax-related accounting restatements motivates these questions. In this study, we find empirical evidence suggesting that tax-related financial statement aggressiveness is positively associated with the likelihood of having tax-related misstatements in the financial statements. We also find that in the year in which the need to restate prior years' financial statements is announced, companies with tax-related misstatements in their financial statements appear to be less tax-related financial statement aggressive compared to the control group.
The Professional Ethics Exam and Acts Discreditable: An Introductory Assignment
Authors: Bordeman Adam , Westermann Kimberly D.
Published: September 2019

This practice-oriented assignment familiarizes accounting students with their states' professional ethics exam and illustrates the disciplinary proceedings process resulting from failed ethics. Part I of the assignment requires students to research their states' professional ethics exam requirements. Part II of the assignment asks students to select current disciplinary actions, review the affiliated disciplinary proceedings, apply relevant sections of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct, and evaluate the appropriateness of the consequences. Survey responses from 322 accounting students suggest that prior to this assignment most students are unaware of an ethics requirement for initial CPA licensure. Students perceive that the assignment effectively exposes them to the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct and violations experienced by practicing CPAs. The majority of students surveyed believe the assignment is valuable, interesting, enjoyable, and improves their understanding of “ethics in practice.”

This study analyzes the negative effects of ethnocentrism in My Big Fat Greek Wedding movie by Joel Zwick. The data were in the form of dialogues and monologues collected by watching the movie, reading the script, identifying the data based on the research problem, and classifying the data.. Based on the findings, there are three negative effects of ethnocentrism shown by ethnocentric people. First, ethnocentrism builds a strong belief that their culture is superior to others. Second, ethnocentric people will perform high level of egocentrism. Third, ethnocentrism will affect inter-cultural communication in negative way. These three negative effects happen because ethnocentric people tend to focus only in group and evaluate other cultures based on their standards.

Authors: BAYSAL Yunus Emre , MUTLU Fatma
Published: September 2019

Bu araştırmanın amacı, fen laboratuvarına yönelik tutum üzerinde cinsiyetin etkisini belirlemek için yapılmış olan araştırma sonuçlarını meta-analiz yöntemi ile bir araya getirerek, cinsiyetin fen laboratuvarına yönelik tutum üzerindeki etki büyüklüğünü belirlemektir. Bunun için 2000-2017 yılları arasında Türkiye’de yapılmış çalışmalara ilişkin literatür taraması yapılmıştır. Literatür taraması sonucunda araştırma problemine uygun ve meta-analiz çalışmasına dahil edilebilecek istatistiksel verilere sahip yüksek lisans tezi, doktora tezi ve makaleler ulusal ve uluslararası veri tabanlarından Türkçe ve İngilizce dillerinde taranarak incelenmiştir. Bu meta-analiz çalışmasında cinsiyetin fen laboratuvarına yönelik tutum üzerinde etkisi test edilmiştir. Öncelikle literatür taraması yapılarak ilgili yayınlar bir havuzda toplanmıştır (n=164). Araştırmacılar tarafından belirlenen ölçütler doğrultusunda kodlama protokolüne uygun verileri içeren toplam 15 çalışmanın analize dahil edilmesine karar verilmiştir. Araştırmanın örneklemini 884 erkek ve 1472 kadın olmak üzere 2356 birey oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmaların etki büyüklüğü hesaplamaları; heterojenlik ve yayın yanlılığı analizleri “Comprehensive Meta Analysis” istatistik programı kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Dahil edilen çalışmalarda heterojen bir dağılım belirlenmiştir (Q=32.22 p<0.05, I2=56.5). Laboratuvar yaklaşımının öğrencilerin bu derse yönelik tutumlarına ilişkin genel etki büyüklüğü değeri rastgele etkiler modeli kullanılarak -0.07 ile 0.21 güven aralığında d=0.07 (%95 CI, SE=0.06) olarak belirlenmiştir. Cohen, Manion ve Morrison (2007) tarafından yapılan sınıflandırmaya göre, cinsiyet değişkeninin laboratuvar derslerine yönelik tutumu zayıf düzeyde ve kadınlar lehine etkilediği tespit edilmiştir.
