Authors: Karayürek Yusuf
Published: September 2022

Aim: In this study, we aimed to investigate the general characteristics of thesis studies on health literacy given to family medicine residents and the conversion of theses into publications. Methods: The research was carried out in
August 2022. The data for the research was obtained from the Council of Higher Education National Thesis Center. All theses on 'Health Literacy' were scanned by family medicine specialty students in Turkey without choosing a date.
The keywords ‘sağlık okuryazarlığı’ (health literacy in Turkish) were used during the screening and the words 'health literacy' were used in a second scan. Among the identified theses, family medicine theses are listed. Results:
In this study, it was observed that there was an increasing trend in the number of theses on health literacy as a family medicine specialty thesis. The publication status of the theses on health literacy of family medicine residents
who received specialization training at the university hospitals was lower than that of the family medicine residents at the training and research hospitals (p=0.015). When the health literacy scales used in the thesis research
were examined, it was seen that the 3 most commonly used scales were TSOY-32, ASOY-TR, and Adult Health Literacy Scale. Conclusions: In conclusion, an increase in the number of studies on health literacy in primary care is an expected
situation. The rate of publication status of the theses on health literacy in family medicine is moderate. It can be supposed that the chance to publish health literacy research theses will increase with the increase in theses
conducted in the field. It will be valuable to use a generally preferred scale in the studies for a better comparison of the accumulated data.

Objectives: To assess the better specimen for biofilm detection among catheter tip and direct urine culture and to evaluate the effect of age on biofilm forming capacity of organisms isolated. Study Design: Cross Sectional Descriptive study. Setting: Lahore General Hospital and Department of Microbiology, Post Graduate Medical Institute. Period: August 2018 to February 2019. Material & Methods: Convenient sampling technique was used to collect 75 Catheter tips and corresponding Urine samples from catheterized patients. Catheter tips were cultured by Brun-Buisson technique and Quantitative method was used for culture. The isolates were identified using standard operating procedures and the MDR isolates recovered were subjected to Microtiter plate assay to determine their biofilm forming capacity. Results: The mean age of catheterization was calculated to be 55.8 years. Statistically, similar number of isolates were recovered from catheter tip and urine sample. However, significantly lesser number of urine samples were found positive for growth (p<0.05). MTP assay of catheter tip and urine sample revealed maximum isolates exhibit strong biofilm forming capacity (56.1% vs 47.6%) while minimum number of organisms display no biofilm formation (1.8% vs 2.4%). Catheter tips and urine culture both detect biofilm forming capacity of isolates similarly (p> 0.05). Maximum biofilm formation (100%) is seen in extremes of age. Conclusion: Less number of urine samples were found positive for growth compared to catheter tips but there is no significant difference in detecting biofilm by catheter tip and urine sample.

Published: September 2022

The efficient operation of the Doubly Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) in wind power systems is significantly affected by reactive power flow. Depending on its excitation, the DFIG’s reactive power drawn either from the grid or fed into the grid, affects the voltage quality and stability of the wind turbine systems. In addition, an increase in DFIG excitation through the Machine Site Converter (MSC) above or below the rated excitation results in over-excited or under-excited operations of the generator respectively. Therefore, reactive power control management for DFIG wind turbines is crucial to overcoming these problems, thus, enhancing the performance of the DFIG wind turbine systems. The performance analysis of reactive power control management for DFIG wind turbines using the Lucas Nulle Wind Power Plant (LNWPP) WindSim software is presented.

Published: September 2022

Herein, we describe a new cryptic snake species of the genus Xenopeltis from Central Highlands of Vietnam: Kon Plông District, Kon Tum Province based both on morphological and molecular data. Xenopeltis intermedius sp. nov. is distinguished from the two known species by a combination of the following morphological characters. Xenopeltis intermedius sp. nov. differs from X. unicolor and X. hainanensis by the number of ventrals and subcaudals. The skull is less elongated than in X. unicolor and somewhat more elongate than in X. hainanensis. X. intermedius demonstrates differences in size, shape proportions and relief of the parietal bone and the number of teeth from X. hainanensis and X. unicolor. We provide a COI-based estimation of diversity of the genus Xenopeltis. Genetic divergence (p-distance) between Xenopeltis sp. nov. from Kon Tum Province, Central Highlands region of Vietnam, and two other congeners was 5.7% (for X. hainanensis) and 12.9% (for X. unicolor). The new species is currently known only from one locality from Central Highland and was recorded from 1500 to 2500 m a.s.l. in the evergreen polydominant forests in the mountainous regions of Kon Tum Province. This is the third species of Xenopeltis from Vietnam.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana implementasi sidang keliling secara online dan bagaimana tantangan, hambatan, serta solusi dalam pelaksanaan sidang keliling secara online ini, penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian hukum normatif-empiris yang dimana penelitian kali ini merupakan penelitian hukum yang dilengkapi dengan data empiris namun bukan menjadi penelitian empirik, dikarenakan penelitian ini masih berinduk pada ilmu hukum dan bukan pada disiplin ilmu sosial. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa dalam hal implementasi atau pelaksanaan sidang keliling pada masa pandemi ini cukup berbeda dari yang biasanya karena dilaksanakan secara online, akan tetapi seperti layaknya proses pelaksanaan sidang di pengadilan, mekanisme pelaksanaan sidang keliling secara online ini tetap melalui tahapan-tahapan sebagaimana yang diatur dalam hukum acara pengadilan agama, Serta adanya pembatasan kegiatan atau PPKM maupun PSBB menjadi hambatan bagi Pengadilan Agama Bitung untuk melaksanakan sidang keliling, hal tersebut tentunya menjadi tantangan juga bagi Pengadilan Agama Bitung untuk tetap melaksanakan sidang keliling guna memberikan keadilan kepada masyarakat yang membutuhkan keadilan dan berada di wilayah terpencil.
Legalitas Pencatatan Perkawinan melalui Penetapan Isbat Nikah
Authors: Zainuddin Asriadi
Published: September 2022

Isbat nikah sangat dibutuhkan oleh masyarakat olehnya itu hakim Pengadilan Agama melakukan “ijtihad” dari ketentuan hukum yang berlaku, kemudian mengabulkan permohonan isbat nikah berdasarkan ketentuan Pasal 7 Ayat (3) huruf (e) Kompilasi Hukum Islam (KHI), yaitu apabila perkawinan yang dimohonkan untuk diisbatkan itu tidak ada halangan perkawinan sebagaimana diatur dalam Undang-Undang Perkawinan, maka Pengadilan Agama akan mengabulkan permohonan isbat nikah meskipun perkawinan tersebut dilaksanakan pasca berlakunya Undang-undang Perkawinan (UUP). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui legalitas dari pencatatan perkawinan melalui isbat nikah. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian normatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa legalitas dari pencatatan perkawinan melalui penetapan isbat menurut sebagian ahli hukum berpendapat bahwa KHI tidak termasuk kedalam hierarki Peraturan perundang-undangan yang disebutkan dalam Pasal 7 Ayat (1) Undang-Undang Nomor 12 Tahun 2011 Tentang Pembentukan Peraturan Perundang-Undangan. Oleh karena itu, penetapan isbat nikah oleh Pengadilan Agama tersebut tidak lebih hanya sebagai kebijakan untuk mengisi kekosongan hukum yang mengatur tentang itsbat nikah terhadap perkawinan yang dilaksanakan setelah berlakunya UUP.
The “Flynn Effect” and Decision Making in Education: Addressing Fairness Concerns
Authors: Kanaya Tomoe , Wai Jonathan , Worrell Frank C.
Published: September 2022

In this chapter, the authors review the Flynn effect in relation to the issue of fairness in testing. The question they ask is as follows: What are the implications of the Flynn effect for psychoeducational testing, college admissions, and the classification of students as gifted and talented or intellectually disabled, given the differences in classification rates when test norms age and when new norms are introduced? The authors begin with a description of the Flynn effect and discuss its impact when cut scores are used for decision making. They identify the testing standards in the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (American Educational Research Association, American Psychological Association, & National Council on Measurement in Education, 2014) that speak to the issues raised by the Flynn effect. They conclude with a series of research recommendations to better understand the Flynn effect and its recent reversal in some contexts. Given the concerns being raised in the media about overtesting of schoolchildren, the negative views of standardized tests that some people hold, and the apparent failure of many in the public sphere to see any benefits to testing, these issues take on greater significance and should be scrutinized.
Aligning Fairness Assessment With Ensuring Fair Contests for Motivated Test Takers
Authors: Dorans Neil J. , Syp Mark J. , Walker Michael E.
Published: September 2022

Fairness has been a significant consideration in the field of educational testing and assessment in the United States since the 1960s. The authors describe different views about what may be fair (or unfair) with regard to testing, before narrowing their focus to the contestant perspective on fairness. They then describe, from a variety of perspectives, current practices that influence test fairness. Due to changes in society, education, and the field of educational measurement, factors traditionally considered in addressing fairness may no longer be relevant, may need to be adjusted in application, or may be insufficient as a set. The authors focus on one factor in particular, the use of race/ethnicity to define subgroups in fairness analyses. They mention several approaches to admissions decisions that might potentially provide more illumination than the approaches currently being used and that may lead to an increased understanding of fairness in testing.

Background: Ferredoxin reductase (FDXR) has already been reported as a promising biomarker for estimating radiation doses in radiotherapy. This study aimed to investigate the responsiveness of FDXR on pediatric population exposed to ionizing radiation (X-rays) during pediatric interventional cardiology (IC) procedures. Patients and Methods: Peripheral blood was collected by venipuncture from 24 pediatric donors before and 24 hours after the IC procedure. To estimate the effective dose, demographic data and Air Kerma-Area Product (PKA) were recorded for each patient. The relative quantification (RQ) of the FDXR gene in irradiated patient blood samples compared to the non-irradiated blood samples was determined using qPCR analysis. The relative values of FDXR were log- transformed. Results: The effective dose ranged from 0.002 mSv to 8.004 mSv. Over this radiation exposure range, the FDXR gene expression varied randomly with the effective dose. Up-regulation in FDXR expression was observed in 17 patients and down-regulation in 7 patients. Conclusions: Further studies in a larger cohort of pediatric patients along with the record of clinical data are needed to determine whether FDXR gene expression is an effective biomarker for radiation exposure estimation in pediatric imaging.

Social value at a distance: Higher identification with all of humanity is associated with reduced social discounting
Authors: Tuen Young Ji , Bulley Adam , Palombo Daniela , O'Connor Brendan Bo
Published: September 2022

How much we value the welfare of others has critical implications for the collective good. Yet, it is unclear what leads people to make more or less equal decisions about the welfare of those from whom they are socially distant. The current research sought to explore the psychological mechanisms that might underlie welfare judgments across social distance. Here, a social discounting paradigm was used to measure the tendency for the value of a reward to be discounted as the social distance of its recipient increased. Across two cohorts (one discovery, one replication), we found that a more expansive identity with all of humanity was associated with reduced social discounting. Additionally, we investigated the specificity of this association by examining whether this relationship extended to delay discounting, the tendency for the value of a reward to be discounted as the temporal distance to its receipt increases. Our findings suggest that the observed association with identity was unique to social discounting, thus underscoring a distinction in value-based decision-making processes across distances in time and across social networks. As data were collected during the COVID-19 pandemic, we also considered how stress associated with this global threat might influence welfare judgements across social distances. We found that, even after controlling for COVID-19 related stress, correlations between identity and social discounting held. Together these findings elucidate the psychological processes that are associated with a more equal distribution of generosity.

Differential expression of FILIP1 in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Authors: Mamoor Shahan
Published: September 2022

Neurodegenerative diseases that affect the motor neurons, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), have little treatment options and are generally rapidly fatal (1, 2). We harnessed the power of unbiased, whole transcriptome differential gene expression analysis, utilizing primary patient cells and tissues to discover genes whose expression defines sporadic ALS using published data (3, 4). We found significant differential expression of FILIP1, encoding filamin A interacting protein 1, in primary fibroblasts of patients with sporadic ALS (SALS). FILIP1 transcript was present at significantly lower levels in SALS patient fibroblasts as compared to control, non-diseased fibroblasts. These analyses will begin to define the transcriptional landscape of sporadic ALS.

Used cooking oil is used cooking oil that has been used repeatedly, both in households and in the culinary industry, which is often thrown away, so that it can damage the environment. This is what prompted us to conduct this research by utilizing used cooking oil or used cooking oil into useful and economical products, in this case hand soap. In this study, three formulations of raw material composition were used to make hand soap, namely Formula One (F1) consisting of 425 grams of used cooking oil and 75 grams of KOH, Formula Two (F2) consisting of 400 grams of used cooking oil and 100 grams of KOH, and Formula Three (F3) consisted of 375 grams of used cooking oil and 125 grams of KOH. The formulation of the problem in this research is the formulation of the composition of the raw materials which of the three formulations is effective in inhibiting the growth of bacteria, in order to obtain a quality hand soap that inhibits the growth of bacteria on the hands. This study aims to determine the composition of used cooking oil with KOH from three composition formulations that have a very strong inhibition of bacterial growth on the skin. The Hand Soap Making Process is carried out experimentally using the hot process method, which of course begins with the process of refining used cooking oil using activated charcoal. Hand soap was analyzed for microbial growth inhibition using Sraphylococcus aereus. Hand soap was also analyzed for organoleptic tests (solubility and aroma) using analytical observation methods and questionnaires involving ten respondents. The results achieved in this research are Hand Soap with a formulation of 375 grams of used cooking oil and 125 grams of KOH has a very strong inhibition of bacterial growth on the skin, has good solubility so it is comfortable to use, and has a long lasting aroma
