Nöropsikoloji Alanında Yapılan Akademik Çalışmaların Son 20 Yılı Üzerine Bir Bibliyometrik Analiz
Authors: BACA BİÇER Feyza
Published: September 2023

Bibliometric analysis is an analysis study that examines the developments and academic studies in a field to be examined with methods such as common word analysis, citation analysis, bibliometric matching. When bibliometric analysis is applied in a very comprehensive field such as neuropsychology, it provides a good road map for researchers to determine the areas they will work in. However, when the literature on psychology and its subfields is reviewed, it is seen that the number of bibliometric analysis studies is quite low. For this reason, this study aims to analyze the last 20 years of academic studies in the field of neuropsychology. For this purpose, in the first stage of the research, articles on "neorupsychology" were searched in the WoS database, and the fields of psychology, clinical psychology, psychiatry, neuroscience, experimental psychology, behavioral sciences, developmental psychology, pediatrics, educational psychology, neuroimaging, biological psychology, social psychology, applied psychology and psychoanalytic psychology, which were considered to be most related to the field of neuropsychology, were selected. Common word analysis and social network analysis were performed on the articles containing the related words, and concept maps were created to enable visualization. Accordingly, it was observed that words such as "schizophrenia", "psychosis", "depression" lost their influence, albeit slowly, while words such as "assessment", "performance validity", "clinical neuropsychology", "rehabilitaion" increased their influence. It can be said that current studies in the field of neuropsychology have shifted away from focusing on a specific clinical condition and towards studies that include neuropsychological assessments and rehabilitation approaches.

The aim of this study was to determine the influence of the temperature humidity index (THI) on the efficiency of estrus synchronization on both beef and dairy cows. The research was carried out at APC "Azamat" of the Beskaragai district of the East Kazakhstan region of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The natural and climatic conditions of this zone make it possible to raise both beef and dairy cattle. The study involved 408 Kazakh white-headed cows aged 3 to 5 year.

During the experimental period, the data for air temperature (T), relative humidity (φ), wind speed (υ) were collected, and the temperature humidity index (THI) was determined. The data was recorded for 30 days (10 days before synchronization, 10 days during synchronization and 10 days after synchronization). In addition, during the synchronization period, clinical parameters - body temperature (t), pulse (P), respiratory rate (Re) and rumination (R) were measured daily in 10% of animals by conventional methods.

During the experimental period (2020-2022) THI was 74,50±1,31, 78,20±2,11, 72,80±0,7210 days before the estrus synchronization. When THI was increased by 5.6±0.03 in 2021 compared to 2020, the fertility decreased by 9.7±0.78. Similarly, when THI was increased by 7.3 ± 0.56 compared to 2022, fertility was reduced by 13.8 ± 0.36. The latter indicates that when THI increases the fertility rate decreases.

Based on the results, there is an influence of THI on the effectiveness of estrus synchronization. Increased THI, to a certain extent, reduces both estrus expression and effectiveness of estrus synchronization leading to reduced fertility rate and increased embryonic mortality.

В статье представлены  результаты исследования сезонной динамики телязиоза крупного рогатого скота в Западно Казахстанской области.

 Телязиоз является широко распространенным гельминтозом  крупного рогатого скота во всех рйонах Западного Казахстана. Изучение вопросов распространения и сезонной динамики телязиозов имеет большое значение. Скот, заражённый телязиозом, практический является источником инвазии круглый год. Установление сезонной динамики, проявления заболевания являатся необходимым в планировании и проведении противогельминтозных мероприятий.

Телязиоз несмотря на отсутствие летальности, вызывают значительный экономический ущерб при котором утрачивается молочная, снижается мясная продуктивность. Возбудители телязиоза в основном локализуются в слезноносовом канале, под третьим веком или на конъюнктиве глаз. Их наличие приводит к развитию воспалительных процессов в области глаза, который в последствие приводит к слепоте. Больных животных выбраковывают.

По нашим исследованиям основные изменения показателей в эпизоотической ситуации наблюдались через месяц после выхода животных на пастбище. Во второй половине апреля -0,78%, в первой половине мая он повысился почти в два раза и ИЭ составил 1,90 %. К концу мая этот показатель возрос несколько раз ИЭ составил - 5,98%. В июне эпизоотическая ситуация, хотя и была неоднозначной, постоянно росла. В июле инвазия достигла максимума ИЭ - 10,85%. Во второй половине месяца немного снизился и составила - 8,93%. В августе ИЭ составил- 9,37%, то есть поднялся на один с лищним процента выше чем предыдущий месяц. Пик инвазии приходится на первую половину июля и сохраняется с небольшым снижнием до первой половины августа. В этот перод количество и активность промежуточных хозяев зоофильных мух очень высокая.

Authors: AKYILDIZ Cengiz
Published: September 2023

The increasing presence of international students in higher education in Turkey has brought their working conditions and issues related to occupational health and safety into sharper focus. Türkiye’s educational and cultural richness attracts an international student body. Some of these students work during their education to meet their economic needs. For the methodology of the research, document analysis from qualitative research methods was employed. Primary data sources for the research include legislation related to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) intersecting with international students in higher education in Turkey, academic articles, books, and reports. The obtained data were classified according to the aim of the research and discussed under respective headings. According to the results of the study; international students face challenges due to language barriers, cultural adaptation issues, and lack of knowledge about their legal rights. These challenges lead them to low-wage jobs and deprive them of occupational health and safety standards. It is recommended for Turkey to provide occupational health and safety training for international students and organize informative seminars about legal rights and work permits. Participation of employers in awareness programs targeting this group of students will be a significant step in solving these problems.

Published: September 2023

Apesar do aumento da oferta de produtos sem glúten, observa-se ainda a limitação de opções no mercado de panificados. O objetivo deste estudo foi determinar as características físico-químicas e sensoriais de bolos formulados com farinhas substitutivas ao trigo. Duas formulações contendo farinhas mistas substitutivas ao trigo (amaranto, quinoa, soja e fécula de mandioca) e uma controle (contendo trigo) foram analisadas quanto às medições e composição centesimal. Coliformes totais, pH e acidez total titulável (ATT) foram determinados no 1° e 4° dias de armazenamento. Aceitação e preferência foram avaliadas por meio de testes sensoriais. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância, seguida de testes paramétricos e não-paramétricos a 5% de probabilidade. Os bolos apresentaram características físicas de medições similares à formulação controle. A formulação com maior teor de soja apresentou maior teor de lipídios quando comparada com o controle. Os bolos com farinhas mistas obtiveram aceitação e preferência semelhantes entre si, porém inferiores à amostra controle. As amostras mantiveram-se estáveis quanto ao pH e ATT durante os quatro dias de armazenamento, não havendo crescimento de coliformes totais. Conclui-se que há viabilidade na formulação destes produtos com boa aceitação e valor nutricional agregado.

Published: September 2023

The evolution of the epidemic of HIV in Brazil has especially affected women, and the control of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (MTCT) has been a new challenge to be faced. This study assessed the compliance with the algorithm recommended by the Ministry of Health (MH) for diagnosing the children born to HIV-positive mothers, followed-up in the Regional Central Laboratory of the Instituto Adolfo Lutz of São José do Rio Preto-X, and to evaluate the occurrence of mother-to-child transmission. This cross-sectional descriptive study collected data on the CD4+ T-cell count and viral load System for Controlling Laboratory Examinations (SISCEL) and System for Hospital Management (SIGH) from January 2009 to December 2014. In this period, 265 children were registered, being 141 (53.2%) male and 124 (46.8%) female; and only 217 (81.9%) complied with the algorithm recommended by the MH. The mean prevalence of MTCT was 5.9%. Despite the efforts exerted by the MH, the HIV algorithm noncompliance still occurs, and the vertical transmission rate is higher than 2%. These data reinforce the need to intensify the surveillance, to improve the information and the follow-up of pregnant women, and to rescue those responsible who do not strictly comply with the algorithm proposed by the MH.

O objetivo deste estudo foi de confirmar laboratorialmente os casos suspeitos de coqueluche na região oeste do Estado de São Paulo, ocorridos entre 2010 a 2015. A cultura foi realizada no Centro de Laboratório Regional - Instituto Adolfo Lutz de Presidente Prudente e a PCR em tempo real (qPCR) foi realizada no Centro de Referência Nacional para Pertussis – Instituto Adolfo Lutz em São Paulo, SP. Foram recebidas 189 amostras, sendo 29 (15,3%) confirmadas segundo os critérios laboratoriais (cultura e/ou qPCR). A faixa etária mais acometida foi em crianças menores de seis meses de idade (82,8%), não vacinados ou com o esquema de vacinação incompleto. Provavelmente, estes resultados representam apenas uma fração do número real de casos de coqueluche que ocorrem no Brasil. O contínuo monitoramento da doença e informações da prevalência por faixa etária são importantes ferramentas para melhorar as estratégias de imunização como forma de controlar esta doença reemergente.

Published: September 2023

This descriptive case study aims to map the internationalization of higher education in Turkey. In this study, interview form developed by Helms, Brajkovic, and Struthers (2017) was translated and used. This form, which was developed at the Centre for Internationalization and Global Engagement (CIGE) within the body of the American Council on Education [ACE], is based on the Comprehensive Internationalization Model (ACE, 2013). The study group consists of experts and managers of the international relations offices. The content analysis method was used in the analysis of the data. We have investigated that the legal commitment of universities towards internationalization is high. Universities carry out the internationalization practices through administrative sub-units formed according to the type of internationalization activity. Universities declare their internationalization activities and goals in mission-vision documents or strategic plans, and universities subject their internationalization efforts to internal or external evaluation. Another essential point is that the university’s senior management cares for and embraces internationalization practices. Universities are determined to offer their students an international education program/foreign language through compulsory/elective courses. Universities aim to increase the number of international students by setting certain numerical goals and geographical targets. The internal conflicts experienced in Turkey's neighbouring countries stand out as a factor damaging the image of Turkey. Universities carry out their internationalization activities consciously and purposefully toward countries with historical and cultural heritage. It is concluded that the internationalization status of universities in the context of cooperation and partnerships is expanding to cover the whole world.

На сегодняшний день важнейшим направлением совершенствования системы управления в организации является организация планомерной и эффективной работы с кадровым резервом. Актуальность данной темы исследования обусловливают многие факторы, в том числе то, что в последнее время мы наблюдаем тенденцию к интеграции во всех сферах деятельности. Рост и объединение компаний приводят к увеличению потребности в высококвалифицированных специалистах. Отсутствие мотивации на возможный карьерный рост приводит к потере элитных кадров, что является опасным моментом для организации в части потери молодых и весьма талантливых специалистов. В связи с этим важнейшим фактором успеха в конкурентной борьбе становится своевременное выявление и успешное развитие кадров для работы в различных должностях компании. Стратегически важной на данный момент является задача по формированию резерва кадров в организации.

To date, the most important direction of improving the management system in the organization is the organization of systematic and effective work with the personnel reserve. The relevance of this research topic is determined by many factors, including the fact that we have recently observed a trend towards integration in all spheres of activity. The growth and consolidation of companies lead to an increase in the need for highly qualified specialists. The lack of motivation for possible career growth leads to the loss of elite personnel, which is a dangerous moment for the organization in terms of the loss of young and very talented specialists. Therefore, the most important factor of success in the competitive struggle is the timely identification and successful development of personnel to work in various positions of the company. Strategically important at the moment will be the task of forming a reserve of personnel in the organization.

A study of bacterial contamination of Banganga stream, Katra (J & K)
Authors: Sinha Amita
Published: September 2023

In this paper, an attempt has been made to study the bacterial contamination in the Banganga stream, Katra, J & K, in order to make an assessment of water quality and the potential danger to the local people, animal population and the pilgrims due to pollution load from very large tourist traffic. No such study is available from the areas so far. The pilgrim traffic to the holy town has witnessed a phenomenal increase in recent years. In the present study, the total viable count (TVC), total coliform, faecal coliform and the faecal streptococci were studied. The counts were found highest during summer and lowest during winter. Bacterial counts were also taken during “Navratra” (April & October) periods when the pilgrims rush is at its peak generating greater pollution load.
The present study indicates that the Banganga water is not fit for use and an immediate need is to treat the sewage before throwing it into the stream, which has a low self-purification capacity.
Diabetes in Orthopaedic Sports Medicine Surgeries Standard Review
Authors: Morriss Nicholas , Brophy Robert H.
Published: September 2023

Diabetes mellitus has been shown to affect the outcomes of various orthopaedic procedures. Although orthopaedic sports medicine procedures tend to be less invasive and are often performed on younger and healthier patients, diabetes is associated with an increased risk of postoperative infection, readmission, and lower functional outcome scores. However, this risk may be moderated by the glycemic control of the individual patient, and patients with a low perioperative hemoglobin A1c may not confer additional risk. Further research is needed to evaluate the impact of diabetes on surgical outcomes in sports orthopaedics is needed, with the goal of evaluating mediating factors such as glycemic control in mind.
Effects of Smart Bottles on Water Consumption and Health Status of College Students

Hydration is important to a human body because it helps regulate body temperature, protect spinal cord, joints and other sensitive tissues, aid in the digestive system, remove body waste, and keep the brain function optimally. Despite the health benefits, most children and adults do not consume the recommended amount of water daily. Previous research suggested that interventions with a combination of educational/behavioral strategies and legislative/environmental prompts produced the best results to promote water intake. Existing in this technology-driven era, the invention of smart devices has changed the way we live. One type of devices, smart bottles, has been proved to be acceptable tools to monitor and promote water intake volume among kidney stone patients and senior citizens. This research aimed to examine the effects of smart bottles on college students’ water consumption and health status. Daily water intake for 35 days and urine samples were collected from two groups of students enrolled in a walking class at a regional university in southeastern United States. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent-samples t test, and binary logistic regression. Results revealed that the bottle’s smart features did not prompt or motivate the college students to drink more water and those who received the smart bottles did not show healthier results in urinalysis tests. A plausible explanation of the results can be caused by the lifestyle of typical college students who are more likely to consume beverages other than water because of personal preference and social influence.

The experiment was conducted to assess the effect of tillage and weeding practices on the growth, yield, and weed infestation of maize at the research field of the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture, Sunamganj substation, from December 2020 to April 2021. Three tillage (conventional tillage, zero tillage, strip tillage) and three weeding practices (pre-plant herbicide application, one manual weeding and no weeding) were tested using factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replications. The results revealed that maize growth, yield and its attributes as well as weed infestations were significantly affected by the tillage, weeding practices and their interactions. Weeds of all categories, including grass, sedge, and broad leaf, were present and affected by tillage and weeding activities. In the weed affected plots, Eleusine indica L., Fimbristylis maliaceae, Eclipta prostrata L., Echinochloa crusgalli L. were found prominent. It was observed that conventional tillage plots treated with herbicide produced the highest grain yield (10.78 t ha-¹) and benefit cost ratio (BCR) (2.26), as well as the lowest weed density (5.75 m-²) and maximum weed control efficiency (84.15%). The lowest yield was found in zero tillage plots with no weeding (4.89 t ha-¹) due to higher weed density (88.50 m-²). However, strip tillage along with herbicide treated plots produced yield of 8.01 t ha-¹ incurring a moderate cost of production (81,477 Tk.) and good BCR (2.13). As conventional tillage plots treated with herbicide resulted in higher plant growth and yield and lower weed density than conservation tillage practices with or without weeding it can be practiced in the field for better outcome. However, considering farmer’s income, strip tillage with herbicide application can be suggested for good yield and BCR with the low cost of production.

The black pepper (Piper nigrum) plant is a well-liked spice plant with significant commercial value and great antioxidant potential. To investigate the native production techniques followed and assess the scope of black pepper gardening, information was gathered through personal interviews with 50 randomly chosen respondents directly and indirectly related to black pepper farming from the Gowainghat upazila in Sylhet district between July 2018 to December 2020. The majority of farmers preferred their source of seedlings (80%), stem cutting (58%), ≤ 1 year of seedling (52%), July to August planting time (36%), per plant planting density 2 to 3 (52%), 30×30×30 cm3 pit size (42%). While the majority of farmers avoid the use of fertilizer and manure (54.29%), watering (54%), fencing (96%), weeding (92%), pruning (94%), and pesticide (96%). Meanwhile, a high response was found for integrated production systems (100%), existing trees as support (84%), and pest infestation (78%). Flowering and fruiting information revealed that it took 3-4 years for the first flowering after transplanting (52%), May to June flowering month (78%), January to February harvesting time (68%) following manual harvesting method (100%), and maximum yield obtained was 3kg per plant (40%). Every single respondent (100%) employed the conventional way of processing. Farmers (100%) acknowledged the beneficiary and positive environmental impact of black pepper, whereas 76% were satisfied with their generated outcomes as they believed it could provide medicinal value (94%), and no health hazards (100%). It could be remarked that black pepper might be aided by a homestead and could contribute as a climate-smart agroforestry crop for local farmers of the Sylhet district. Hence, policy implications regarding improved production techniques and standard marketing channels should be enforced. Further research on the improvement of black pepper gardening should be examined.
