APPROACHES IN DESIGN EDUCATION: THE ROLE OF PATTERNS AND SCENARIOS IN THE DESIGN STUDIO
Authors: Casakin Hernan , van Timmeren Arjan , Badke-Schaub Petra
Published: May 2021

The studio is the educational setting where architectural students dedicate a large part of their study career working individually and in groups. Supporting students with adequate methods to deal with ill-defined problems in the design studio is a major challenge for design education. Whereas different approaches such as using design patterns and developing scenarios are reported to improve the design activity, they were never investigated in the design studio. An empirical investigation was conducted in order to explore whether and how scenarios and patterns can help students in developing a useful knowledge base and enhance their abilities to solve design problems in the design studio. Students were requested to solve a series of design problems using these educational methods, while working individually and as a team. They were asked to produce as many design ideas as possible, while in the team setting were instructed to think aloud. The data assessed is gathered from surveys, problem solving sessions, and interviews. Thus, qualitative and quantitative analyses had to be done to find out about the different impact of the two methods in design. The results showed that as an educational approach, patterns aided in defining problems and analyzing idea solutions, mainly from a technical and functional perspective. Scenarios, on the other hand, were helpful to generate new ideas, and to enhance design creativity. Independently of the pedagogical method used in the design studio, working in teams showed to be central to enrich and enhance many aspects of the design activity. The findings have important implications for intervention programs in the design studio. Key words: design thinking, design studio, design education, educational setting, problem solving session, students teamwork.

Published: May 2021

This study aims to increase awareness in students in relation to environmental consciousness. Therefore, the prepared presentations and the adapted learning stations were used to create awareness of students in the out-of-the-school learning environment supported by the municipality of a county in Ankara the capital city of Turkey. Learning stations serve to people’s individual study. The basic goal here is to develop higher order skills and to make sure that students work in stations according to their abilities in a pre-determined order. The study group was composed of volunteering 15 fifth graders of a private school in Ankara. Firstly, the content to be applied in the study was developed. Prior to the application, a readiness presentation was made so as to raise students’ interest and awareness in terms of the importance of waste and recycling the waste. As a conclusion of the current study, it may be said that students’ interest in and awareness of the environment and collecting the waste developed. Enlarging this pilot project and applying it to bigger groups is important in terms of the success of the educational activities for separating the waste and in terms of the durability of the relevant behavior. Key words: recycling, learning station, out of school learning, environment education.

Published: June 2021

Objectives  The aim of this study is to find out the prevalence and outcome of falciparum malaria with neurological manifestations.

Materials and Methods  A prospective cross-sectional hospital-based study of 318 falciparum malaria patients using simple, direct, standardized questionnaire with history, lab investigations and neurological examination from January 2014 to December 2014.

Results  July was the most vulnerable month for falciparum malaria causing the highest hospital admission (48.8%) and death (29.3%). The commonest age group affected was 15-30 years (49.2%). Prevalence of neurological manifestations was 41.2%. Altered sensorium (48.7%) was the most frequent neurological manifestation, followed by abnormal behavior (19.8%) and convulsions (15.5%). Case fatality rate was very high with neurological manifestations, highest with altered sensorium (31.3%). Perception of neurological manifestations among tribal was very poor. Primary health care providers also failed to diagnose most of the cases (69%) which presented with neurological features.

Conclusion  Falciparum malaria with neurological involvement is associated with increased mortality. By documenting different neurological patterns of falciparum malaria and by trained health care personnel, mortality and morbidity rates can be reduced by early diagnosis and management.

Published: May 2021

Background: Hyperlipidemia is one of the important risk factor for development of cardiovascular disease in post menopausal women.Our study compared the serum lipid profile and atherogenic index of plasma between premenopausal and post menopausal women.Methods: This was a cross sectional study conducted in Kathmandu Medical College. A total number of 194 women in the age group 30 to 60 years were studied. They include 108 postmenopausal women and 86 premenopausal controls. Total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides were determined. Results: The mean value of total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride were significantly increased in postmenopausal women when compared to premenopausal women. There was increase in high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in postmenopausal women but the difference was not significant. The atherogenic index of plasma was increased in postmenopausal women (0.22 ± 0.25 mmol/l). This shows that postmenopausal women in our setting are at medium risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Atherogenic index of plasma was positively and significantly correlated with age (r= 0.29, p<0.05), body mass index (r=0.24, p<0.05), systolic blood pressure (r=0.20, p<0.05) and diastolic blood pressure (r=0.45, p<0.05).Conclusions: Postmenopausal women were at greater risk for developing cardiovascular disease when compared to premenopausal women due to increase in atherogenic lipid profile. There was a significant correlation of atherogenic index of plasma with age, body mass index, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure.Keywords: Keywords: Atherogenic index of plasma; lipid profile; menopause.

Dental agenesis consists of an anomaly characterized by the numerical reduction of dental elements and, according to the number of missing teeth, it may receive other names, such as hypodontia, oligodontia, anodontia or congenital absence. Several treatments may be recommended depending on the patient's needs and conditions, such as surgery for the installation of implants and fixed prostheses, and early diagnosis is one of the key parts for proper treatment. The rehabilitation of agenesis of the upper lateral incisor is a great challenge for the professional since several factors can influence the aesthetic result and, in addition, the absence of the dental element can bring unbalance of the occlusion and phonetic problems. It is essential to carry out an adequate planning and a treatment plan with multidisciplinary action so that the final result is effective and meets the expectations of each patient. The present study aimed to report a clinical case of dental agenesis of the upper lateral incisor, where the treatment of choice was the installation of an implant-supported prosthesis and filling of the buccal bone plate with biomaterial.

Immersive storytelling and affective ethnography in virtual reality
Authors: Ceuterick Maud , Ingraham Chris
Published: May 2021

Virtual Reality (VR) storytelling, particularly in its non-fictional modes, promises a sensory immersion among others whose lives and ways of being a privileged viewer might not otherwise experience. In this essay, by focusing on the Emmy-nominated 2018 VR film Traveling While Black, we explore how the immersive power of VR storytelling can enact ethnographic encounters premised less on the impulse to extract meaning from other people and their ways of life than on the sensory and affective force of being with others in an unfolding experience of both similitude and difference. Without wishing to overstate VR’s empathy-inducing potential, we suggest that by situating viewers at a paradoxical threshold between proximity and distance, the affective power of VR derives in part from a narrative form capable of fostering non- appropriative relations.

Published: May 2021

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between kinesiophobia and functional performance with the ability to forgetthe artificial joint in patients with total hip arthroplasty (THA).
Methods: Fifty-seven volunteer patients aged between 40-65 years who have undergone THA surgery in the last 1-3 years were included in this study. The Forgotten Joint Score (FJS-12) for evaluating the ability to forgetting the artificial joint, the 6-Minute Walk Test for determining the functional performance, and the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK) for evaluating kinesiophobia were used.
Results: There was a moderate correlation between the FJS-12 and TSK (r= – 0.571; p<0.001) scores; and moderate correlation between the FJS-12 and the 6-Minute Walk distances (6-MWD) (r= 0.408; p<0.001). The ability to forget the artificial joint in patients with THA was found to be related to kinesiophobia and functional performance.
Conclusion: The results of this study demonstrated that the awareness of artificial joint should be taken into consideration when performing physiotherapy and rehabilitation practices to decrease kinesiophobia and increase functional performance. Additionally, complementary approaches aiming to reduce the awareness of artificial joint should be added to the rehabilitation program of the patients with total hip arthroplasty

Authors: SAMANCI TEKİN Çiğdem , BAĞRIAÇIK Nil
Published: May 2021

Objective: Today, diseases transmitted by insects and mites still remain an important public health problem. Therefore, the training received by health personnel and their experiences on this topic is important. This study was conducted to determine the knowledge and experiences of students, who were health personnel candidates, on insects and mites likely to be encountered in hospitals or on patients.
Methods: This study is cross-sectional. No sample selection was made and 1st – and 4th-grade students in midwifery and nursing departments constituted the universe. Independent-samples t-tests compared knowledge to identify differences by students‘ experiences and education about insects and mites, χ2 tests compared frequency of correct knowledge answers according to experiences and education about insects and mites.
Results: The participants stated that, in their daily lives, they mostly encountered cockroaches (77.9%) in their environment and lice (52.5%) on their bodies. In this study, the prominent finding was that both experiences and education were important in getting information on insects and mites. Students’ ratio of thinking that they had sufficient knowledge on insects and mites, the ratio of recognizing insects and mites given in images, the mean scores of correct answers given to the propositions on insects and mites, and the knowledge of struggling methods were low.
Conclusion: Today’s changing environmental conditions have increased the risk of confronting epidemics related to insects and mites at any time. Therefore, it is highly important for health personnel, who are actively involved in epidemics and who consult the community, to receive effective training on insects and mites during the university period.

Objective: The aim of this study is assesment of awareness and knowledge of oral cancer in a group of tobacco users.
Methods: The study group consisted of 100 adult patients aged 18 years and over who applied to Marmara University Faculty of Dentistry Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Clinic for routine examination. The patients were asked to complete a 16-point questionnaire evaluating the effects of smoking on oral cancer.
Results: The participants in our study identified oral cancer symptoms as swelling / mass formation (60%), wound in mouth (58%), loss of sensation (39%) and pain (38%). There was statistically significant difference between the responses given to “What are the causes of oral cancer?”, “what are the symptoms of oral cancer?” and “What are the diagnostic methods for oral cancer?” between women and men (p<0,05). The rate of responding to the question "What do you think are the causes of oral cancer?" as "alcohol use" in women (63.3%) was significantly higher than men (39.2%) (p: 0.027; p <0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between genders regarding “smoking” and “chewing tobacco” as oral cancer factor (p> 0.05).
Conclusions: It is concluded that women smoker individiuals have more awareness, knowledge level and positive attitudes about oral cancer compared to men. Increasing level of knowledge of individuals about oral cancer, routine examination of individuals at high risk group and development of national policies with this purpose can make a contribution to improve the level of consciousness.

Published: May 2021

Objective: Vaginal examinations (VE’s) are techniques that are widely used by midwives, nurses or doctors to assess the progress of labor. The present study aimed to determine the women’s experiences and frequency of VE during labor.

Methods: A total of 328 women who gave vaginal birth were included in this descriptive study conducted in Turkey between January and October 2019. Data were collected in the first 24 h after birth using the “The Women's Experiences of Vaginal Examinations in Labour (WEVEL)” Scale.

Results: VE was performed 4.05±1.721 (range,1–12) times and by 2.41±1.241 (range,1–7) different medical personnel during labor. During VE, women mostly experience fear, pain, and shame. The average score of women on the WEVEL scale was 74.18±10.078 (good level). VE experiences of women to whom information was provided before the procedure, for whom the sex of medical personnel did not matter, whose privacy was protected, and on whom VE was performed by the same medical personnel were more positive; the difference was statistically significant (p

Published: May 2021

Objective: High physical fitness (PF) level is a significant health determinant in children and adolescents so that it is important to identify the factors affecting PF in this population. Despite available studies highlighting the relationship between PF and characteristics of children, there is still a need to uncover how the health status and lifestyle of children impact different PF indicators. Thus, the purpose of this study is to
investigate the relationship between physical fitness, and the health profile and lifestyle of children.
Methods: This study was conducted with 110 (58 girls; age 11.85±0.35) adolescents between February and March 2020. The preditors of PF which were gender, body mass index, physical activity level (PAL) measured via Physical Activity Questionnaire (PAQ), motivation measured via Participation Motivation Questionnaire (PMQ), sleep time, and tablet usage time regressed against PF related outcome measured using 6 Minutes Walk test (6MWT), T-Test, vertical jump test and broad jump test (BJT).
Results: There were significant associations between T-test performance, and gender, BMI (being obese), and PAL. PAL and gender were also significant predictors for 6MWT and BJT respectively. PF was not significantly associated with motivation, sleep, and table usage time. A high level of physical activity, being male, and low BMI score resulted in better PF performance.
Conclusion: The health profile and lifestyle of adolescents may estimate the significant proportion of variabilities observed in physical fitness levels in adolescents.

Authors: TİMURTAŞ Eren , AVCI Ender Ersin , DEMİRBÜKEN İlkşan , AKGÜN İrem , SERTBAŞ Yaşar , POLAT Mine Gülden
Published: May 2021

Objective: Obesity, currently one of the important health issues, can be defined through Fat Tissue Mass (FTM) and Lean Body Mass (LBM). The study aimed to investigate to what extent do FTM and LBM are associated with movement strategies of Sit-to-Stand (STS) task in individuals with obesity.
Methods: Forty-nine obese individuals (52,83 ± 7,39) with no diagnosis of any health condition included in the study. The Balance Master System was used to evaluate the STS movement. STS task was analyzed by means of Weight Transfer Time (WTT) (second), Rising Index (RI) (force exerted by legs-%Body Weight), the Center of Gravity (COG) sway velocity (degrees per second). The FTM and LBM were regressed against each STS parameter including age as a covariate.
Results: The regression models could explain 10-21% of the variabilities in STS parameters: RI (21%), COG sway velocity (11%), WTT (10%). FTM significantly related to RI (β: – 0.287, p=0.040), but not with COG sway velocity (β: 0.270, p=0.073) and WTT (β: – 0.038, p=0.802). LBM was significantly associated with RI (β: 0.435, p=0.003); yet, not with COG sway velocity (β: – 0.100, p=0.066), WTT (β: – 0.092, p=0.549).
Conclusion: This study revealed that FTM and LBM can explain the significant percent of the variation in RI during STS task, meaning a decrease in FTM and an increase in LBM provided support to rise during STS task. Moreover, an increase in FTM deteriorated postural stability. Improving LBM and decreasing FTM would be an effective strategy to improve STS in the obese population to increase their agility and could encourage
physical activity participation.
Exercise Program for COVID-19 Survivors: A Telerehabilitation Framework
Authors: TİMURTAŞ Eren , ÖZER Aysel Yıldız , AVCI Ender Ersin , DEMİRBÜKEN İlkşan , POLAT Mine Gülden
Published: May 2021

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is a serious acute respiratory syndrome that has been recognized as a pandemic disease caused by Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The complications related to coronavirus itself, physically inactive period due to symptoms of disease and lockdown may also influence the functional capacities of COVID-19 survivors negatively. It may lead to obstructions in engaging with previous activities of daily living. As a physiotherapy intervention, exercise treatment is one of the novel approaches to support these individuals after the COVID-19 treatment. However, there is limited access to physiotherapy and rehabilitation services during pandemic conditions because of lockdown, especially for infected patients. For increasing accessibility to physiotherapy and rehabilitation care, the World Confederation of Physical Therapy has published a report advising the home-based exercise interventions via Telerehabilitation. Up to date, there is no published framework for structured exercise programs for this population, yet. Since the individual differences in functional levels and possible differences in the severity of coronavirus infection, the physiotherapy, and rehabilitation exercise program should be structured individually for COVID-19 survivors. This document suggests a framework for physical therapists to put into practice an exercise training via telerehabilitation in COVID-19 survivors. The proposed framework has consisted of determination of eligible and risky COVID-19 patients for intervention, physiotherapy assessment tools, 6-week exercise prescription based on FIIT-VP principle (frequency, intensity, time, type, volume, and progression) and criteria for ending exercise.

Objective: This retrospective study was performed to evaluate the correspondence between digital image analysis and spectrophotometry tooth shade results.Methods: The study population consisted of 10 patients. Office bleaching was performed using an in-office whitening. Tooth shade was analysed by spectrophotometry and image analysis of digital photographs at baseline, and at 1-week and 3-month follow-up visits. The correspondence between the two methods was evaluated based on the total color change (ΔE), calculated using lightness, chroma, and hue (LCH) values for spectrophotometry and lightness, red-green, blue-yellow (LAB) values for digital image analysis. The Mann–Whitney U, Wilcoxon signed rank and Kruskal–Wallis tests were used for the statistical analyses (p<0.05). The correspondence between digital image analysis and spectrophotometry results was determined using the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).Results: At the 3-month follow-up, there were no significant differences in tooth shade results between the spectrophotometry and digital image analysis methods (p=0.855), which showed strong agreement (ICC=0.983).Conclusion: Digital image analysis may be a useful alternative to spectrophotometry for tooth shade selection.

O artigo explora a relação entre a decisão de investimento em Keynes e a pesquisa em Economia Comportamental. Para a identificação de elementos teóricos comuns entre essas duas abordagens, suas contribuições são brevemente recuperadas na história do pensamento econômico. A discussão desenvolvida contrasta elementos que sustentam as duas correntes, promovendo uma leitura de seus aspectos teóricos complementares: (i) racionalidade e incerteza; (ii) heurísticas e convenções; (iii) decisão individual e decisão de investimento. Isso permite uma compreensão mais profunda dessas propostas, e um entendimento melhor acerca: (1) do papel da subjetividade na Economia Comportamental a partir da utilização do conceito de heurísticas na análise da decisão de investimento em Keynes; e (2) dos aspectos psicológicos apontados por Keynes que explicam como elementos que influenciam a decisão de investimento (taxa de juros, por exemplo), não são determinantes nas escolhas. O trabalho sustenta uma complementariedade da Teoria dos Prospectos e a Contabilidade Mental com a análise psicológica de fatores apontados por Keynes como fundamentais na decisão de investimento: animal spirit, expectativa de retorno e taxa de juros, incerteza fundamental e a relação entre eficiência marginal do capital e taxa de juros.
