Günümüzde sağlıklı ve organik gıdalara olan talep giderek artmaktadır. Bu gıdalardan biri olan mikroyeşillikler; sahip oldukları canlı renk, hassas yapı, yüksek aroma ve özellikle içerdikleri biyoaktif bileşenlerden dolayı sağlık üzerinde olumlu etkileri nedeniyle son yıllarda tüketicilerin ilgisini çekmektedir. Mikroyeşillikler çeşitli sebze, tahıl ve bitki tohumlarının çimlenmesinden sonra ilk gerçek yapraklarının oluşumunu takiben hasat edilen küçük boyutlardaki bitkilerdir. Mikroyeşilliklerin üretimi, genellikle gurme mutfaklarda kullanılmak üzere endüstriyel ve ev ölçekli olarak yaygınlaşmaktadır. Mikroyeşilliklerin raf ömürlerinin kısa olması ve çabuk bozulabilmesi nedenleriyle bu ürünlere hasat sonrası muhafaza ve depo koşullarında farklı prosedürler uygulanabilmektedir. Üretim şartları ve genellikle çiğ olarak tüketilmeleri nedeniyle olası bir kontaminasyon durumunda, mikroyeşillikler gıda kaynaklı hastalıklara yol açabilecek potansiyel riskli gıdalar olarak görülmektedir. Bu derlemede; üreticiler, tüketiciler ve araştırmacılar için önem taşıyan mikroyeşilliklerin besinsel içerikleri, sağlığa faydaları, yetiştirilme koşulları, muhafaza yöntemleri, kontaminasyon riskleri ve gıda güvenliğine dair bilgiler güncel araştırmalar ışığında kapsamlı bir şekilde sunulmuştur.
Die ‚Entdeckung‘ der Jugend durch die Pädagogik Friedrich Wilhelm Foersters im Spannungsfeld von natürlicher Kraft und christlicher Idealität
Authors: Maier Alexander
Published: August 2022

This paper is picking up the assumption, that youth was ‘discovered’ at the beginning of the 20th century as an own life stage as well as a kind of aesthetic energy that inspired people of every age and class to cultivate an idealistic sentiment and attitude. In this context, the essay is posing the question in which way Friedrich Wilhelm Foerster (1869–1966) and his pedagogical thinking have contributed to this discovery. Thereby, the paper can also be understood as an input – among others – to close the research gap on Foersters educational theory. There are two main focuses: The first one lies on his comprehension on education as ‘self-education’ of the youth, which is allowed by their natural force. Because nature is disordered, ‘self-education’ needs – this is the second aspect – an idealistic orientation: the Christian faith. On the way to clarify his concept of ‘self-education’, that was inspired by the United States ‘progressive education’, and to curve out the role of the Christian tradition, the essay compares Foerster with John Dewey (1859–1952). At last, this exploration leads not only to the result, that the heritage of Christianity was meaningful for both but also, that this Christian influence gave their concepts of ‘new education’ – in contrast to others – some precise criteria, so that they were able to deal with ‘normal’ young people (instead of the ‘holy child’) and to resist fascism or socialism. But this doesn’t mean, that Foersters educational concept was exempt of ambivalence in a pedagogical perspective.
Using of Digital Storytelling in the Teaching of History
Authors:   Lanszki
Published: August 2022

The paper presents the results of an empirical study in which students (N=41) made digital stories in history classes in two different age groups. The aims of using digital storytelling in history classes were, on the one hand, to find and use relevant written and visual sources, and on the other hand, to create a personal connection to a historical person or event. The purposes of the research were (1) to clarify the conditions of applying digital storytelling in history classrooms in lower and upper secondary school levels and (2) to measure the impact of it on students’ learning competencies. The teachers wrote case studies, and students wrote learning diaries about their educational experiences. Students’ reading, writing, and listening skills were measured with pre- and post-tests. Throughout the project, the active involvement of students, their own learning activities, and creativity with digital tools were observed. We have found that the method creates a link between generations. Meanwhile, core competencies such as reading and writing were developed. The didactic limitations of using digital storytelling could be traced back to the lack of time, digital equipment and rooms.
Perceptions of Physical, Sexual, and Psychological Violence Stories: A Registered Report
Authors: Delker Brianna C , Michel Paige K , Turner Kit , McLean Kate C
Published: August 2022

Survivors of sexual violence have shared their stories with the public through social media in growing numbers. Recent research shows that sexual violence (versus other, less stigmatizing trauma) stories are perceived as more difficult to tell, and their storytellers as less likeable. This is true even when stories have redemptive endings, contradicting an established U.S. cultural preference for redemptive stories. However, it is unknown if sexual violence perceptions generalize to different types of interpersonal violence (IPV) and if audience perceptions vary across 3 major types of IPV (sexual, physical, psychological). This pre-registered replication and extension study investigates these questions with a vignette-based experimental design modeled after 2 published studies by the first and last authors. Broadly, we hypothesized that cultural invalidation of sexual violence stories would extend to any IPV story (vs. non-IPV traumas such as natural disasters), and that within the realm of IPV, cultural invalidation would be more pronounced for psychological violence stories (vs. sexual/physical). Three samples of U.S. adult participants (N=1,045), 2 Nationally Representative and 1 University-based, were randomly assigned online to read 1 of 12 first-person trauma story vignettes and complete self-report surveys of story and storyteller perceptions in a 6 (trauma story: IPV [k=3], non-IPV [k=3]) x 2 (ending: negative, redemptive) between-subjects design. Support for our hypotheses was mixed. IPV (vs. non-IPV) stories were perceived as more difficult to share (η2p = .068) and their storytellers as having less positive personality traits (η2p = .043), even when stories ended redemptively. However, among the 3 IPV types, psychological violence storytellers were not robustly more stigmatized, and sexual violence stories were recognized as particularly difficult to disclose. IPV survivors face obstacles to telling their stories that may hamper both personal recovery and collective momentum for systemic change.
Revisiting the Temporal Pattern of Regret in Action Versus Inaction: Replication of Gilovich and Medvec (1994) With Extensions Examining Responsibility
Authors: Yeung Siu Kit , Feldman Gilad
Published: August 2022

The temporal pattern of regret is the phenomenon that people perceive or experience stronger regret over action compared to inaction in the short-term, yet stronger regret over inaction compared to action in the long term. Following mixed and null findings in the literature, we conducted replications and extension of Studies 1, 3, 4, and 5 in the classic Gilovich and Medvec (1994) which first demonstrated this phenomenon, with a single combined data collection in randomized display order with an online sample of Americans on MTurk (N = 988). We found support for the original findings using different designs in Studies 1, 3, and 4, yet with weaker effects. We failed to find support for such a pattern in Study 5. We discuss possible interpretations for these differences: our replication adjustments, the change in the meaning of action and inaction, or change in hypothetical versus real-life personal experiences. Extending the replications, we found support for stronger responsibility for action compared to inaction both in the short-term and the long-term. We conclude overall support for the effects, yet with follow-up work necessary to resolve the inconsistencies in the findings of the Study 5 replication.

Authors: Salh A. J. , Bakr N. A.
Published: August 2022

In this paper, Cu2MnSnS4 (CMTS) thin films are prepared by chemical spray pyrolysis on glass substrates at a temperature of (400 ± 10°C), using 0.04 M of copper chloride, 0.02 M of manganese chloride, 0.02 M of tin chloride and different concentrations of thiourea (0.14, 0.16, 0.18, 0.20, 0.22, and 0.24 M) as source precursors. XRD diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, FESEM, UV-Vis spectroscopy, and the Hall effect technique were used to examine the structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties. The results of XRD diffraction show that all films are polycrystalline in nature with tetragonal structure stannite structure. The maximum crystallite size of the CMTS thin films was determined using Scherrer's formula, and it was found to be (12 nm) at (0.20 M) thiourea concentration. The main peak of the Raman spectroscopy data is located at 327 cm-1, which is attributed to the vibration mode originating from the sulfur sub lattice vibration. In the wavelength range of (300-900) nm, optical characteristics such as absorbance and transmittance spectra were measured. With a high absorption coefficient (104 cm-1), the optical energy band gap of the prepared films ranges hand, electrical tests through the Hall effect of CMTS thin films show that they have an electrical conductivity of p-type
Actin network architecture can ensure robust centering or sensitive decentering of the centrosome

Published: August 2022

The orientation of cell polarity depends on the position of the centrosome, the main microtubule‐organizing center (MTOC). Microtubules (MTs) transmit pushing forces to the MTOC as they grow against the cell periphery. How the actin network regulates these forces remains unclear. Here, in a cell‐free assay, we used purified proteins to reconstitute the interaction of a microtubule aster with actin networks of various architectures in cell‐sized microwells. In the absence of actin filaments, MTOC positioning was highly sensitive to variations in microtubule length. The presence of a bulk actin network limited microtubule displacement, and MTOCs were held in place. In contrast, the assembly of a branched actin network along the well edges centered the MTOCs by maintaining an isotropic balance of pushing forces. An anisotropic peripheral actin network caused the MTOC to decenter by focusing the pushing forces. Overall, our results show that actin networks can limit the sensitivity of MTOC positioning to microtubule length and enforce robust MTOC centering or decentering depending on the isotropy of its architecture.
Methodsof analysis of multimodal data to increase the accuracy of classification
Authors: Boyko Nataliya I. , Muzyka Mykhaylo V.
Published: August 2022

This paper proposes methods for analyzing multimodal data that will help improve the overall accuracy of the results and plans for classifying K-Nearest Neighbor(KNN)to minimize their risk. The mechanism of increasing the accuracy of KNN classification is considered. The research methods used in this work are comparison, analysis, induction, and experiment. This work aimed toimprove the accuracy of KNN classification by comparing existing algorithms and applying new methods. Many literary and media sources on the classification according to the algorithm k of the nearest neighborswere analyzed, and the most exciting variations of the given algorithm were selected. Emphasis will be placed on achieving maximum classification accuracy by comparing existing and improving methods for choosing the number k and finding the nearest class. Algorithms with and without data analysis and pre-processing are also compared. All the strategies discussed in this article will be achieved purely practically. An experimental classification by k nearest neighborswith different variations was performed. Data for the experiment used two different data sets of various sizes. Different classifications k and the test sample size were taken as classification arguments. The paper studies three variants of the algorithm k nearest neighbors: the classical KNN, KNN with the lowest average and hybrid KNN. These algorithms are compared for differenttest sample sizes for other numbers k. The article analyzes the data before classification. As for selecting the number k, no simple method would give the maximum result with great accuracy. The essence of the algorithm is to find k closest to the sample of objects already classified by predefined and numbered classes. Then, among these k objects, you need to count how often the class occurs and assign the most common class to the selected object. If two classes' occurrences are thelargest and the same, the class with the smaller number is assigned.
Entropy analysis of organizations' knowledge systems on the example of project management standards
Authors: Gogunskii Viktor D. , Kolesnikova Kateryna V. , Lukianov Dmytro V.
Published: August 2022

The problems of managing complex project management systems areassociated with numerous parameters that characterize their state. Most modern methods of forecasting project activity are based on the use of statistical modeling of individual processes and tools, for example, a work schedule, which requires both the justification of the adopted laws for the distribution of random work durations and the planning of a certain organizational and technological sequence of work. The collection and processing of data on all parameters is a complex and expensive procedure, anda complete justification of all project characteristics can lead to the infor-mation complexity of the system under consideration. However, it is impossible to refuse this due to the need to obtain relevant and reliable data for the adoption and implementation of management decisions. Thus, it is necessary to look for ways and means to re-duce the number of controlled parameters, create algorithms that allow predicting the presence of undesirable processes in a con-trolled system, and develop recommendations for a more detailed analysis of individual project management subsystems. To over-come the informational complexity of predictive models, it is proposed to use a phenomenological approach that is associated with the definition of entropy, which allows usinga minimum of information about the planned and updated course of the project. The concept of entropy is one of the key concepts of thermodynamics and information theory, and also finds its application in a number of other sciences, the subject of researchand study of which are complex stochastic systems. The possibilities of using entropy and entropy modeling are currently being actively explored in the theory of project management. The paper considers an entropy ap-proach to modeling project management systems, in which, on the basis of mathematical procedures arising from K. Shannon's in-formation theory, information phenomenological models are created. The IPMA ICB 4.0 standard is considered as an example. The developed tool creates the prerequisites for the effective use of the entropy approach to assessing complex economic and social sys-tems.

Published: August 2022

The possibility of using a set of thermoelectric devices to control the thermal regime of a number of thermo-dependent and heat-loaded elements of radio-electronic equipment, which are subject to increased requirements for reliability indicators and dynamic characteristics, is considered. A mathematical model of a thermoelectric device has been developed for a uniform temperature field, a typical range of power dissipation of the products used, a range of standard values of the supply voltage, and a fixedgeometry of thermoelement legs. A relation is obtained for determining the relative operating current depending on the relative temperature difference at a given supply voltage, the geometry of the thermoelement branches, and the magnitude of the thermal load. The region of real values of the relative operating current in the zone of relative temperature differences is determined for a given geometry of branches and thermal load. An analysis is made of the relationship between the relative operating current of a single-stage thermoelectric cooler and the coefficient of performance, the amount of energy expended, the heat-removing capacity of the radiator, the time to reach a stationary mode, and the probability of failure-free operation. The dependence ofthe relative failure rate and the probability of failure-free operation, the amount of energy expended, the heat-removing capacity of the radiator, and the number of thermoelements on the supply voltage of the thermoelectric cooler has been studied. This made it possible to evaluate the control features and identify the effectiveness of the control actions when the coolers are connected in parallel in a uniform temperature field. The possibility of choosing the optimal supply voltage is shown, taking into account a number of restrictive factors in terms of weight, size, energy, dynamic and reliability characteristics of a complex of thermoelectric coolers as part of systems for ensuring thermal regimes of heat-loaded radio-electronic equipment.

Published: August 2022

Objectives: One of the most prevalent benign tumors in women is uterine leiomyoma. Large quantities of fluid absorbed during myomectomy may cause serious problems such as volume overload and hyponatremia. The aim was to see how intraoperative oxytocin infusion affected irrigation fluid absorption in individuals having hysteroscopic myomectomy. Materials and Methods: 50 women between 25-45 years who underwent hysteroscopic myomectomy and had an American Society of Anesthesiologists class I or II were evaluated in this randomized, double-blind clinical trial study. A 250 mL ringer solution containing 15 units of oxytocin was administered at a 125 mL/h in the oxytocin group (group S). In contrast, the placebo group (group P) received 1.5 mL of normal saline in the same amount of Ringer solution. Intraoperative hemodynamic alterations, fluid deficit, decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit, sodium, and albumin levels from baseline, complications, and the incidence of toxicity with the administered solutions were assessed intraoperative and 24 hours later. Results: Group S had considerably reduced irrigation fluid volume (P=0.021) and volume deficit (P=0.001). The frequency of hypotension in individuals receiving oxytocin did not differ significantly from the placebo group (P=0.26). In group S, serum hematocrit (P=0.036) and sodium (P=0.026) were decreased significantly. Conclusions: Intraoperative oxytocin infusion during hysteroscopic myomectomy may be associated with reduced irrigation fluid absorption and the problems that come with it. As a result, this approach might decrease the risks associated with high amounts of irrigation fluid being absorbed during hysteroscopic myomectomy.

Published: August 2022

Objectives: Although ovarian cancer is the sixth most common cancer among women, in most cases, it is not diagnosed until it covers the entire peritoneum. In the present study, it was examined the clinical outcomes of the women with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) in stage IIIC-IV treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) and its association with decreased ovarian cancer antigen (CA-125). Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 78 women with EOC (Stage IIIC-IV) who underwent NACT at Imam Khomeini hospital, Tehran, Iran were evaluated. Demographic characteristics, aged at diagnosis, severity and stage of disease, serum CA-125 level, histological type, tumor pathology before and after chemotherapy, overall survival, and recurrence of disease was examined. Results: In total, 78 women with mean age of 52.83 ± 10.18 (between of 29 to 77) years were evaluated. The majority of the patients had positive initial ascitic fluid cytology for malignancy (68.9%). After surgery, papillary serous was the most common histologic finding (73, 81.1%). CA-125 level post NACT (median of 25 U/mL) was significantly reduced compare to before NACT (median of 980 U/mL; P<0.0001), and the rate of CA-125 reduction was significantly lower in older participants’ ages (r=0.274, P=0.017). Survival time showed a significant and strong negative correlation with the CA-125 levels before (r=-0.363, P=0.003) and after NACT (r=- 0.383, P=0.002). Moreover, there was a significant negative correlation between survival time and chemotherapy courses (r=-0.363, P=0.003) and age (r=-0.474, P=0.000). Conclusions: The results of this study showed that the clinical outcomes of patients with advanced ovarian cancer can be predicted by a decrease in serum CA-125 levels after NACT.
Loss of HOXA10 causes endometrial hyperplasia progressing to endometrial cancer
Authors: Mishra Anuradha , Ganguli Nirmalya , Majumdar Subeer S , Modi Deepak
Published: August 2022

Endometrial cancer is the fourth most common malignancy in women and the precursor lesion is endometrial hyperplasia. HOXA10 is a transcription factor that plays key roles in endometrial functions such as the endowment of receptivity, embryo implantation, and trophoblast invasion. Herein, using testicular transgenesis, we developed transgenic mice that expressed a shRNA against HOXA10 and there was a nearly 70% reduction in the expression of HOXA10 in these animals. We observed that downregulation of HOXA10 led to the development of endometrial hyperplasia in the young animals (3 months), and as they aged (>1 year), most animals developed well-differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma. In the endometrium of animals with reduced HOXA10, there was increased proliferation and elevated levels of ERα and ERβ. In parallel, there was increased expression of Wnt4 and β-Catenin, SOX9, and YAP1. We propose that chronic reduction in HOXA10 expression disrupts multiple pathways in the uterus that aids in the development of endometrial hyperplasia which progresses to endometrial cancer with age.

Published: August 2022

OBJECTIVES

Assess how family stressors (including structural stressors, social determinants of health inequities, and parent psychological distress) relate to media rule implementation and problematic child media use during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.

METHODS

Nationally representative survey of 1000 United States parents with at least one 6 to 17 year old child was conducted in October through November 2020.

RESULTS

Problematic use was greater in families where parents were employed full time, present in the home (eg, working from home), had low levels or formal educational attainment, and were experiencing more psychological distress. Although there was a small decline in the number of media-related rules implemented during the pandemic (fewer parents enforced screen limits on weekdays or weekends or limited screen use at mealtimes), there was no association between rule implementation and problematic media use.

CONCLUSIONS

Family stressors were associated with problematic child media use during the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. As we emerge from the pandemic, it will be important to help parents adjust their family’s media practices cognizant of the fact that additional children may have developed problematic screen use behaviors. Such efforts should center the role of structural and social determinants of health inequities on the stressors that families experience and that impact media use.

The status and prospects of materials for carbon capture technologies
Authors: Ozkan Mihrimah , Custelcean Radu ,   Guest Editors
Published: August 2022

In order to combat climate change, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from industry, transportation, buildings, and other sources need to be captured and long-term stored. Decarbonization of these sources requires special types of materials that have high affinities for CO2. Potassium hydroxide is a benchmark aqueous sorbent that reacts with CO2to convert it into K2CO3and subsequently precipitated as CaCO3. Another class of carbon capture materials is solid sorbents that are usually functionalized with amines or have natural affinities for CO2. The next wave of materials for carbon capture under investigation includes activated carbon, metal–organic frameworks, zeolites, carbon nanotubes, and ionic liquids. In this issue ofMRS Bulletin, some of these materials are highlighted, including solvents and sorbents, membranes, ionic liquids, and hydrides. Other materials that can capture CO2from low concentrations of gas streams, such as air (direct air capture) are also discussed. Also covered in this issue are machine learning-based computer algorithms developed with the goal to speed up the progress of carbon capture materials development, and to design advanced materials with high CO2capacity, improved capture and release kinetics, and improved cyclic durability.

Kanker adalah penyakit mematikan di seluruh dunia. Salah satu jenis kanker dengan angka kejadian tinggi di Indonesia adalah kanker payudara. Secara umum kanker dapat ditangani dengan pembedahan, radioterapi, dan kemoterapi. Namun, ketiga teknik ini menunjukkan berbagai kelemahan dan efek samping yang merugikan. Bahan alam selanjutnya dapat menjadi alternatif penanganan kanker karena telah terbukti secara empiris dalam penanganan berbagai penyakit. Michelia alba dari keluarga Magnoliaceae menghasilkan minyak atsiri dan telah digunakan sebagai obat tradisional untuk bronkitis, prostatitis, demam, sifilis, gonorrhoea, malaria, dan kanker. Meskipun demikian, kajian yang mengungkap potensi M. alba dalam penanganan kanker tidak banyak dilaporkan dan sangat terbatas. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menyelidiki potensi aktivitas antikanker payudara minyak atsiri bunga M. alba secara in silico. Penelitian dilakukan dengan docking molekular senyawa minyak atsiri bunga M. alba terhadap human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (identitas PDB 3PP0). Penelitian juga dilakukan dengan analisis sifat fisikokimia dan farmakokinetika senyawa minyak atsiri M. alba. Hasil docking molekular menunjukkan α-terpineol, geraniol, β-pinen, limonen, linalool, β-fenil etilalkohol, dan 1,8-cineol memiliki skor docking yang lebih rendah dari kontrol kuersetin. Analisis fisikokimia dan farmakokinetika mengungkap bahwa senyawa minyak atsiri M. alba tidak melanggar aturan Lipinski dan Veber serta memiliki profil penyerapan, distribusi, metabolisme, ekskresi, dan toksisitas yang baik.

Published: August 2022

This article explores illuminative evaluation as a method to reflectively assess a pilot implementation of an intercultural-competence-focused first-year writing curriculum at a US large public university. The goal of this curriculum is to promote integration of diverse student populations on our university campus, while developing all students’ intercultural competence and writing skills. In this article, we present practitioner reflections on classroom experiences and collaborative design of our approach to data analysis. These reflections show how an illuminative, context-rich approach to an early phase of a writing pedagogy research project shapes a holistic curricular evaluation. Illuminative evaluation drew our attention to the interaction between teaching and curriculum evaluation as well as to how this approach promotes an invitational and exploratory approach to teacher research.
Tutoring one’s way to L2 writing teacher cognition
Authors: Yang Hae Sung , Belcher Diane
Published: August 2022

In view of the limited research attention so far given to the developing cognition of novice L2 writing teachers, this qualitative study examines the extent to which L2 writing teacher cognition can be enhanced by the experience of tutoring. By adopting the theory of experiential learning, the study considered the role that the experience of tutoring could play in the development of novice L2 writing teachers’ conceptualizations of learners’ needs and their view of themselves as developing L2 writing teachers. The results of this study point to the participants as having all made realizations that served as catalysts for continued growth after the original tutoring experiences. These findings indicate that the practice of tutoring changed their perceptions of teaching L2 writing by seeing clearly the benefits of dialogic interaction with L2 writers and also learning the value of holistically viewing the writer.

Significance Statement

Recent studies support a critical role of epigenetics in cyst-associated gene expression and the progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), although the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive. Here, we show that expression of CDYL, a chromodomain Y-like transcription repressor and crotonyl-CoA hydratase, is suppressed in ADPKD kidneys, accompanied by an increase of histone lysine crotonylation (Kcr). Interestingly, CDYL can form biomolecular condensates, which enhance its catalytic activity on histone Kcr. Through a phase separation–mediated mechanism, overexpression of CDYL reduces histone Kcr, inhibits the expression of cyst-associated genes, and slows cyst growth. Thus, our study establishes a prominent role for CDYL nuclear condensation in regulating histone Kcr, the cyst-associated gene expression program, and ADPKD progression.

Background

Emerging evidence indicates that epigenetic modulation of gene expression plays a key role in the progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD). However, the molecular basis for how the altered epigenome modulates transcriptional responses, and thereby disease progression in ADPKD, remains largely unknown.

Methods

Kidneys from control and ADPKD mice were examined for the expression of CDYL and histone acylations. CDYL expression and its correlation with disease severity were analyzed in a cohort of patients with ADPKD. Cdyl transgenic mice were crossed with Pkd1 knockout mice to explore CDYL’s role in ADPKD progression. Integrated cistromic and transcriptomic analyses were performed to identify direct CDYL target genes. High-sensitivity mass spectrometry analyses were undertaken to characterize CDYL-regulated histone lysine crotonylations (Kcr). Biochemical analysis and zebrafish models were used for investigating CDYL phase separation.

Results

CDYL was downregulated in ADPKD kidneys, accompanied by an increase of histone Kcr. Genetic overexpression of Cdyl reduced histone Kcr and slowed cyst growth. We identified CDYL-regulated cyst-associated genes, whose downregulation depended on CDYL-mediated suppression of histone Kcr. CDYL assembled nuclear condensates through liquid-liquid phase separation in cultured kidney epithelial cells and in normal kidney tissues. The phase-separating capacity of CDYL was required for efficient suppression of locus-specific histone Kcr, of expression of its target genes, and of cyst growth.

Conclusions

These results elucidate a mechanism by which CDYL nuclear condensation links histone Kcr to transcriptional responses and cystogenesis in ADPKD.
BANKING SECTOR AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Authors: Guney Guven , Bozkurt Eda
Published: August 2022

Purpose- The most important tool in economic development is investments. Funds are needed for investments. Funds are obtained through domestic savings or foreign sources. Resources are known to be limited. For this reason, strong financial systems are needed. The banking sector is an important element in the financial system. The banking sector provides the collection and use of savings. In other words, the banking sector is closely related to economic development. The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between economic development and the banking sector.
Methodology- BRICS-T countries are discussed in the study. Panel data for the 2001-2019 period were used. Human Development Index and domestic credit to private sector by banks (% of GDP) were used as variables. First, cross-section dependence tests were performed. Then unit root tests were applied. Heterogeneity was determined by delta test. In the last stage, causality test was applied. Causality was examined by the panel causality test developed by Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012).
Findings- Cross-sectional dependence tests showed that there is crossal-section dependence in the variables and the model. The stationarity of the series was obtained by the CADF test, which is one of the second generation panel unit root tests that takes into account the cross-sectional dependence. Delta test results showed that the slope coefficients were heterogeneous. It has been determined that the cross-sectional dependence and slope coefficients of the model are heterogeneous. The results of the Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel causality test applied showed that there is causality between the banking sector and economic development.
Conclusion- The results of the research show that the banking sector contributes to the development of individuals. The increase in human development shows that there are educated, healthy and high-income people in a country. If the banking sector affects human development, human development activities will increase. High-quality human development will increase the level of technological knowledge, productivity in production, and therefore economic growth.

Authors: Bayraktar Nisanur , Seker Ayberk
Published: August 2022

Purpose- The textile and ready-made clothing sector is the leading industry, which dates back to very old times and has a lot of competition. The textile industry, where the competitive environment is increasing day by day, has a key role in global trade, especially in developing countries, both in export potential, employment opportunities and economic development. Turkey has a very important position in the textile and ready-to-wear industry and has reached a competitive level with many countries. Turkey's textile and ready-to-wear industry has become a major competition with its development over time and the added value it provides economically. The purpose of the study is to determine the importance of textile and ready-made clothing exports within Turkey's total exports and the competition size with China.
Methodology-For this purpose, Turkey's position in the textile and ready-made clothing sector and export potential were first evaluated. China, which then proved its success in the world trade, was briefly mentioned in the textile and ready-made clothing industry and examined the competition size between Turkey and Turkey.In the study, the trend analysis was used, and with the help of paintings, the export values in the textile and ready-made clothing sector of both countries, their changes over the years, the number of places in the world trade, and what size of competition they are from there.
Findings- In the trend analysis, it was found to be the country that exports the most textiles and clothing in China, based on the findings from the tables.Turkey has also been one of China's biggest competitors, but has managed to enter the top 10 of the countries that export the most textiles and ready-made clothing each year.There is also an increase in the export volume of textile and ready-made clothing over the years.
Conclusion- Based on the findings, we can say that China is a threat to all countries in the textile and clothing industry.Each year, he was the first in the industry to export the most textiles and ready-made clothing.However, in the developing country against China, which has a very large economy, Turkey has proven itself in this sector with its share of exports in the textile and clothing industry.Turkey has shown that there is a potential competitor in the industry, increasing its exports of textiles and clothing by year-on-year.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS PERSPECTIVE ON ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Authors: Suzer Ozlem Ozdemir
Published: August 2022

Purpose- The purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of Cultural Persuasion Model dimensions (perceived appropriateness, perceived consistency, and perceived effectiveness) and entrepreneurship education on students' entrepreneurial intentions using multiple linear regression method.
Methodology- The universe of the research consists of university students studying in Kayseri who have taken an entrepreneurship lesson or have participated in an entrepreneurship course. The survey method was used to collect the research data. The research model was tested with multiple linear regression analysis. The analysis of the data was carried out with the Jamovi 2.3.9 program.
Findings- When the results of the multiple linear regression analysis were examined, it was observed that the variables of perceived appropriateness, perceived consistency, perceived effectiveness and entrepreneurship education together had a significant relationship (R=0.83, R2=0.69) with entrepreneurial intention (F(4-149)=82.4, p<0.05). These variables together explain 69% of entrepreneurial intention. When the significance of the regression coefficients of each variable is examined, it is seen that the variables of perceived consistency (β=0.45, p<0.05) and perceived effectiveness (β=0.44, p<0.05) in order of importance are significant predictors of entrepreneurial intention, and perceived appropriateness (β=-0.09, p<0.05) and entrepreneurship education (β=0.11, p>0.05) variables were not found to be significant predictors.
Conclusion- As a result of the research, it was found that the dimensions of perceived consistency and perceived effectiveness had a significant effect on the entrepreneurial intention of university students; It was determined that perceived appropriateness and entrepreneurship education did not have a statistically significant effect on entrepreneurial intention. The significant effect of the perceived consistency dimension on the entrepreneurial intention can be interpreted as the personal values of university students and their entrepreneurial activities match, and at this point, the entrepreneurial intention is formed. The significant effect of the perceived effectiveness dimension on the entrepreneurial intention can be interpreted as the fact that university students see entrepreneurship as a suitable career, which forms the basis for their development of entrepreneurial intention.

GAMES USED IN BEHAVIORAL FINANCE RESEARCH: A COMPARISON OF DICTATOR, ULTIMATO, AND TRUST GAME
Authors: Gungor Sezen
Published: August 2022

Purpose- The main subject of behavioral finance, which emerged with the deterioration of the rationality assumption of traditional finance theories, the fact that people are not creatures who will do everything to maximize their own benefits and think of nothing but utilitarianism, and that win-win playing can have a positive effect on the total return, is investor behavior. Because it will not be possible to understand the market without understanding the investor. For this reason, it is extremely important for researchers to know the behavior patterns of the investor and, more importantly, to identify the reasons for these behaviors. This study has been prepared in order to guide and assist researchers who are doing or considering doing research in this field.
Methodology- Literature review was conducted in the study. Scientifically defined dictator game, ultimatum game and trust game are explained in detail.
Findings- Literature examples of games that are easy to implement in experimental designs used in the evaluation of the causes and consequences of financial decisions are considered as findings.
Conclusion- The aim of the study is to explain various behavioral games that are relatively easy and highly applicable to scientists who study investor behavior in the research area of behavioral finance. Behavioral games that started with game theory continued with dictator, ultimatum and trust games. Current studies show that the number and quality of these games still continues. Since the examination of investor behavior is extremely important due to its ability to reduce individual losses and to minimize market anomalies, this study is expected to guide future studies.

OVERVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL FINANCIAL REPORTING STANDARDS (IFRS) AND APPLICATION DIFFERENCES BETWEEN IFRS AND TURKISH TAX PROCEDURE LAW (TPL)
Authors: Ozer Merve , Teker Suat
Published: August 2022

Purpose- The purpose of this study is to explain the differences between IFRS and Turkish Tax Procedure Law (TPL), give information about how financial statements are presented according to TPL and IFRS, and show the presentation of financial statements in practice by specifying the theoretical and application differences in the two frameworks.
Methodology- Within the scope of this research, the balance sheet and income statements were explained in detail in terms of TPL and IFRS applications on account basis, correction and classification records were made within the scope of IFRS, and the financial statements were reproduced for a sample firm.
Findings- The general validity of the financial statements prepared by each country according to its own rules is lower than the general validity of the financial statements prepared according to IFRS. Financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS are standardized with a single application integrity.
Conclusion- With the implementation of IFRS, it is ensured that all financial statement readers, regardless of country, company or location, gather under a single standard, under a single roof, and interpret the reporting in the same way. Thus, it will increase confidence, transparency and stability in the markets for users of financial statements.
