Gebe Kısrak Serum Gonadotropini (PMSG)’nin Sütçü İneklerde Senkronizasyon ve Gebelik Oranları Üzerine Etkileri
Authors: TOKER Mehmed Berk , ALÇAY Selim
Published: June 2022

Suni tohumlama yönteminin başarısı, birçok diğer etken ile birlikte, uygulayıcının spermayı doğru zamanda genital kanala vermesinden geçmektedir. Süt hayvancılığında ıslah sonucu meydana gelen metabolizma artışı, üreme hormonlarının miktarında ve yarılanma sürelerinde değişikliklere sebep olmaktadır. Bu durum, östrus bulgularının görülmesinde ve dolayısıyla elde edilecek gebelik sonuçlarının doğrudan azalmasına neden olmaktadır. Sürü devamlılığı ve üretim verimliliği açısından son derece önemli olan gebelik, en ideal ve kısa yoldan ulaşılması gereken nihai hedeftir. Bu amaçla sabit zamanlı suni tohumlama için kullanılan yöntemler (presynch, ovsynch, G6G, G7G, v.b.) yıllar boyunca araştırılmış ve günümüzde geliştirilmeye devam etmektedir. Bu çalışmada, progesteron destekli ovsynch senkronizasyonu ile aynı planının ilk hormonu olan GnRH enjeksiyonu yerine PMSG ile gerçekleştirilen indüksiyon sonrasında elde edilecek östrus cevapları ve buna bağlı olarak elde edilecek gebelik oranlarının araştırılması planlanmıştır. Bu amaçla ticari olarak süt üretimi yapan entansif bir işletmede, aynı koşullarda bakım, besleme ve barındırılması gerçekleştirilen toplam 139 baş sütçü Simmental inek kullanıldı. Çalışmaya dâhil edilen hayvanlar; üretim kayıtları bilinen, düzenli olarak cinsel aktivite gösteren, en az bir doğum geçmişi olan ve herhangi bir hastalık geçmişi bulunmayan hayvanlar arasından seçildi. Çalışma sonucunda, PMSG grubuna hem iç hem de dış östrus bulguları gösteren hayvanların sayısı 61 baş olarak, %89,71 oranında tespit edilmiş ve bu hayvanların da 55 tanesinde gebelik sonucu elde edilmiştir (%90,16). GnRH ile başlanan senkronizasyon grubunda östrus yanıtı 56 başta (%78,87) tespit edilmiş ve bu hayvanlardan elde edilen gebelik 45 baş hayvan ile %80,35 oranında bulunmuştur. Gerçekleştirilen istatistiki analiz sonucunda, iki senkronizasyon modelinde de östrus bulgularının gözlemlenmesi ve östrusa bağlı olarak elde edilen gebelik sonuçları arasında istatistiki anlamlılık değerinde fark bulunamamıştır (P

The increasing number of deaths from Covid-19 is in line with anxiety disorders and depression in people who are positive for Covid-19. The emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) is known as an effective therapy to reduce mental health disorders in certain patients but has never been applied to people who are confirmed positive for Covid-19. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of EFT as an alternative therapy in reducing anxiety and depression in people who are positive for Covid-19. This research design uses a quasi-experimental approach with a one-group pretest and posttest approach. A total of 22 people were isolated in the Health Training Unit (UPELKES) provided by the Pontianak Government in June 2021. The data analysis technique used paired t-test (95% CI). There was a significant decrease in anxiety (t value = 6,738) and depression scores (t value = 2,585) after EFT therapy was given (p-value < 0.05). Thus, EFT can be an alternative therapy in overcoming anxiety and depression disorders in people who are confirmed positive for Covid-19.Meningkatnya angka kematian akibat Covid-19 seiring dengan gangguan kecemasan dan depresi pada orang yang positif Covid-19.

Does the frame of an artwork matter? Cultural framing and aesthetic judgements for abstract and representational art.
Authors: Darda Kohinoor Monish , Christensen Alexander P. , Chatterjee Anjan
Published: June 2022

Art is often thought to reflect the culture from which it comes, and viewers’ aesthetic experiences are influenced by sociocultural content depicted in artworks. Previous research suggests that people prefer artworks from their own cultures compared to another. We tested the hypotheses that viewers’ aesthetic experiences of art are modulated by cultural labels as expressed by artist names, and by sociocultural content depicted in the artwork, and predicted an in-group bias in people’s preferences. Across three pre-registered experiments, we explored Northern American and Indian participants’ aesthetic judgements and preferences to abstract and representational artworks. In Experiment 1, when American abstract artworks were assigned with fictional American, Indian, Chinese, or Turkish artist names, we did not find evidence for an in-group bias – aesthetic ratings for artworks were similar across Indian and American participants, irrespective of the artist names to which they were attributed. In Experiment 2 using a two-alternative forced choice paradigm in which participants chose between two artworks attributed to Indian and American artists, we found no differences in Indian and American participant preferences. We found slightly higher shared preferences for Indian artworks among Indian participants compared to American artworks and participants. Our findings from Experiments 1 and 2 that the appreciation of abstract artworks was not affected by a cultural label counter our prediction, based on previous reports of in-group biases in aesthetic judgments. In Experiment 3, we found a small in-group preference for Indian and American/European representational artworks – participants preferred artworks that depicted content from their own culture compared to another. Effects across all experiments persisted when controlling for participants’ age, education, art experience, and openness to experience. The modulation of art perception and appreciation by contextual information and knowledge systems may be flexible, and more influenced by cultural content depicted in artworks than simple cultural framing.
Virtual Art Visits: Examining the Effects of Slow Looking on Well-Being in an Online Environment

Published: June 2022

Throughout history, visual art has helped people feel connected to each other, experience a deep sense of belonging to their communities, and enhance their own well-being. In recent years, many museums have increased their digital presence to engage with the public in new ways, including curating unique virtual experiences. The present research examines the well-being effects of a virtual art gallery visit and the role of immersion in facilitating these well-being effects. Participants were 155 adults from the United States recruited via Prolific. Participants completed a 15-minute virtual gallery experience and were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: (1) To spend 5 minutes selecting one work and then spend 10 minutes engaging in mindful looking; (2) To spend 5 minutes selecting one work and then spend 10 minutes engaging in curious looking; or (3) To spend 15 minutes viewing the art however they wished. Participants completed measures of well-being and emotional state before and after their gallery experience. Although the three conditions did not differ in their levels of immersion or in their well-being and emotional experiences, participants did experience a range of well-being increases following their virtual art experience. Further, the level of immersion participants reported during the visit, regardless of condition, predicted post-visit well-being and emotional state. This suggests that virtual art engagement, like in-person art engagement, may hold well-being benefits for those who engage in these experiences.
The effect of positive extrinsic distraction on the temporal dynamics of emotional response to aversive stimuli
Authors: Kempel Joseph , Bridgett David J , Uusberg Andero , Butail Sachit
Published: June 2022

Distraction, or deploying one’s attention away from emotionally negative information is a powerful form of emotion regulation. However, distracting oneself intrinsically can be cognitively effortful, and is not amenable to emergency situations that may require immediate intervention with an untrained audience. The aim of this study was to investigate if extrinsic distraction can attenuate the late positive potential (LPP) to aversive stimuli. We specifically tested (a) whether extrinsic distraction, presented in the form of a positive picture appearing one second after a negative picture and staying on screen, can attenuate the resulting emotional response, and (b) whether the degree of attenuation depended on placing the distracting picture near or far from the negative one. While the overall LPP from negative images did not differ significantly pre-and post-distraction, our results confirm a time effect so that the emotional response attenuated after a distracting image was shown. Specifically, LPP reduced about two seconds after the distracting image was shown both near and far. After about half a second, this attenuation disappears. Compared to intrinsic distraction reported in the literature, the reduction in LPP with extrinsic distraction was found to be stronger albeit lasting for a much shorter time. These results should motivate further studies investigating the content and dynamics of presentation of external interventions for emotion regulation.

Published: June 2022

As part of an ongoing project to replicate major findings regarding statistical word segmentation in adults, we replicated Experiment 2 in Newport and Aslin (2004) ‘Learning at a distance I. Statistical learning of non-adjacent dependencies.’ This experiment compared learning of non-adjacent dependencies between syllables with learning of non-adjacent dependencies between segments, reporting below-chance success on the former and above-chance success on the latter. Despite a much larger sample size and more careful experimental controls, we failed to find clear evidence of learning in either condition.

Published: June 2022

Dear editor In this era of a modern pandemic of this new millennium, called as COVID-19, which has left no borders of the human world untouched on this planet. It is a timeless thing to be a witness to this future historic event of this millennium. The world has moved into the era of globalization with cutting edge technology and highly advanced therapies for some of the most complex human diseases. We can now identify the extremes of nano causes of illness and human diseases and intervene in the nano world. Putting intravascular stents, breaking down calcium plaques in the vessels, transplanting human hearts, utilizing artificial hearts, devices such as ICDs for life-threatening arrhythmias are just very few examples of incredibly advanced treatments for improving human health and treating illness. These highly advanced therapies that exist now were once only a dream of some crazy beings, decades and centuries ago. We have touched human lives in the most possible nano routes. We can fathom the DNA and RNA technology. We now have the vaccines for Covid-19 using the mRNA technology which is a huge technological advancement. Despite all of these, we have to remain that humble being since we still do not know a whole lot about lots of things. The fact that we are living in a world of a deadly pandemic despite persistent heroic measures worldwide from multiple sources for the past two years tells us that we are merely insignificant beings.

Purpose: It has been reported that 7,8-dihydroxyflavone (7,8-DHF), known as a brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) receptor agonist, affects nitric oxide (NO) production as well as its antioxidant properties. Although favorable effects of 7,8-DHF have been reported in the central nervous system in aged rodents, its effects on non-neural tissues are not fully understood yet. In the literature, it has been stated that liver, kidney and heart tissues show age-related oxidative stress and NO dysregulation. In this study, the effects of 7,8-DHF on oxidative stress and NO production in liver, kidney and heart tissues in aged mice were investigated.

Materials and methods: Male C57BL/6 mice were divided into 3 groups as young (5 months old, n=10), elderly (18 months old, n=10) and DHF-elderly (18 months old, n=7). The mice in DHF-elderly group were treated with 7,8-DHF (5 mg.kg-1.day-1, intraperitoneally) for 3 weeks. The malondialdehyde (MDA), reduced glutathione (GSH) and nitrite/nitrate (NOx) levels were measured in the liver, heart and kidney tissues of mice.

Amaç: Medikal onkolojide hasta sayılarının her geçen yıl artış göstermesi ve kullanılan ilaçların genel olarak pahalı ilaçlar olması nedeniyle parenteral ilaç uygulama hataları (PİUH) birçok tıbbi ve maddi kayıplara neden olmaktadır. Araştırmanın amacı, bir onkoloji kliniğinde meydana gelen PİUH’nı tespit ederek önlenmesi için gerekli tedbirlerin alınmasına katkıda bulunmaktır.

Gereç-Yöntem: Daha önce kanser tanısı konulmuş, tıbbi onkoloji servisinde tedavi gören 2021 yılına ait tüm yatan hastaların dosyaları retrospektif olarak incelendi. Verilerin toplanmasında hemşire gözlem ve takip formları, ramak kala olay bildirim formları, doktor orderları ve hasta bazlı kemoterapi hazırlama birimi raporları kullanılmıştır. Değişkenlerin incelenmesinde frekans, ortalama ve yüzde (%) gibi tanımlayıcı istatistikler kullanılmıştır.

Bulgular: Çalışma grubunda dosyaları eksiksiz olan 18 yaş üstü 301 hasta olduğu ve 57 adet PİUH yapıldığı belirlenmiştir. Klinikte PİUH oranının %18.9 olduğu hesaplanmıştır. En sık karşılaşılan hataların sırası ile infüzyon sürelerine uyulmaması (%4.6), ilacın yanlış zamanda verilmesi (%4.3) ve ilaç dozunun atlanması/verilmemesi (%3.7) olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Sonuç: Araştırmada tıbbi onkoloji kliniğinde PİUH’nın azımsanamayacak derecede fazla sayıda meydana geldiği ancak bunların büyük bir bölümünün olay bildirim formlarına yansımadığı belirlenmiştir. Hata oranlarının azaltılması amacıyla kliniklerde görevli sağlık personelinin farmakolojik bilgi eksikliklerinin giderilmesi, farmakovijilans konusunda farkındalığın sağlanması, hasta eğitimlerine daha fazla özen gösterilmesi ve dokümantasyon sisteminin revize edilmesi önemli katkılar sağlayabilir. Hastanelerde PİUH’nın önlenmesi için izlenecek ulusal ya da global çapta stratejilerin belirlenebilmesi amacıyla çok merkezli ve büyük ölçekli çalışmalara ihtiyaç bulunmaktadır.
When Victims Look like Criminals: Rehumanizing Victim Representation in Serial Killer Cases
Authors: Holmes Andy
Published: June 2022

In 2018 the Bruce McArthur serial killer case became the largest forensic homicide investigation in Toronto, Canada’s history. Victims of serial killers tend to be portrayed negatively by newspapers because they often embody stigmatized identities. However, this research asks, How do newspapers frame victims who belong in between marginalized and liberated identities? Under the frameworks of post-gay and intersectionality theory, the identities of many of McArthur’s victims reflect an opportunity to analyze how serial killer victims are puzzlingly framed by newspapers. Through an analysis of 277 articles in three major Canadian newspapers, the Toronto Star, the Globe and Mail, and the National Post, findings show that the framing of victims through textual accounts as nonpartisan is discrepant with their negative visual representations. While newspapers tend to simply frame these victims as belonging to Toronto’s gay village without layering stigma around queerness onto them explicitly, most articles provide close-ups, passport photos, and occasionally mugshots of victims, ultimately portraying them in undesirable ways. This inconsistent framing between textual description and image selection highlights the important role photos, activists, and non-profits can play when featured or quoted in newspapers as they can humanize and dignify victims in the absence of family or friends to do so. This textual-visual discrepancy shows that deeply racialized queer injustices can exist in newspaper framing despite the absence of overtly prejudicial narratives.

Numerous companies in Serbia have come under attack, in­cluding large companies, state-owned companies and institutions. Various security vulnerabilities have been identified, which clearly indicates insuffi­cient education of employees in the field of information systems security, as well as insufficiently developed awareness of the consequences of misuse of unprotected information and vulnerability of systems and applications. This paper lists some security measures, which may prevent unauthorized access to the system and misuse of personal or sensitive data. The paper also lists some examples of attacks using ransomware, which have led to massive data losses. These attacks were carried out via email, which is one of the most common types of malware attack and brings us to the question of whether it is necessary to introduce additional education on the topic of cyber security through the school system.

Currently in the field of management and psychology, when the economic growth changes rapidly, work in trade is becoming more and more challenging and places demands on trading leaders to synergistically com­bine the theoretical and practical knowledge and experience in the afore­mentioned field. The feeling of personal well-being comprises life satisfaction, positive emotions and happiness. It is closely associated with the fact that an individual feels healthy, educated, with high self-esteem and work ethic. Therefore, the paper aims to assess the necessity of social well-being in the work of trading leaders. The main research objective is to determine the exist­ence of statistically significant differences in the assessment of the dimensions of social well-being between customers and trading leaders. The focus is on the following dimensions of social well-being by Keyes and Lopez (2002): So­cial integration, Social acceptance, Social contribution, Social actualization, and Social coherence. Based on statistical analyses in the statistical software SPSS22, statistically significant differences in assessing the dimensions of so­cial well-being in trade between customers and trading leaders were identi­fied. It can be concluded that trading leaders perceive social well-being more intensely and are more aware of its necessity than customers, which may rep­resent a possible suggestion for deeper research into this current topic.

In this paper, the authors aim to present the methodology used to measure social sustainability, which is being implemented in a research project called “Innovations in organic agriculture to improve the sustaina­bility of Apulian farms for cereal and industrial crops.” The authors used the social life cycle assessment (S-LCA), based on the life cycle assessment, par­ticularly the subcategory assessment method. The authors developed a questionnaire to collect information about work­ers and the time worked (weekly working hours, working weeks) in each plot of the experimentation plan. The authors administered the questionnaire to multiple recipients categorized as three identified types of stakeholders (workers, local community, consumers) to triangulate the answers. The use of the S-LCA in experiments in the agricultural sector, which presents critical issues in the social sustainability of production, could become a strategic tool for achieving sustainable development in agri-food sector.

Even if a lot of the businesses depend on authorities (infrastructure, national promotion, etc.) solving the problems is still a microeconomic task. Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) have always been recognized as the driver of a critical sector of the economy and the SMEs will continue to remain as the backbone of several countries’ economic development throughout the world. Due to the economic and social importance of the small and medi­um-sized enterprises (SMEs) for the economy, compared to large businesses, they are supposed to be more vulnerable, riskier, and so it is more difficult to obtain external sources of finance for them. The article aims to evaluate SMEs finance from the perspective of selected do­mestic and foreign initiatives, as well as to propose the measures for the im­provement of SME finance.

Interpretation for the adoption of the International Financial Re­porting Standards (IFRS) became to be challenging for organizations. Over time, these standards are changed to accommodate the improvements iden­tified in accounting rules. COVID-19 pandemic impacted accounting report­ing considering that contingencies and risks arising from this health crisis should be reported to stakeholders. In order to provide empirical evidence of the most important COVID-19 related practical and academic issues and challenges addressed by academics when reporting under IFRS, this study ap­plies an automated computer-aided analysis for clustering the bibliometric data published concerning IFRS and COVID-19. The results support academic studies and practitioners by identifying the COVID-19 research streams that received the most attention in 2020. This study also suggests guidelines for future research that derive from past academic contributions.
