Sensitivity of cross-sectional compliance to manufacturing tolerances for wind turbine blades
Authors: Maes Vincent Karel , Macquart Terence , Weaver Paul M. , Pirrera Alberto
Published: August 2023

Abstract. Wind-turbine blades are complex structures and, despite advancements in analysis techniques, differences persist between predictions of their elastic response and experimental results. This undermines confidence in the ability to reliably design and certify novel blade designs that include self-regulating features like bend-twist coupling To address these discrepancies, this study investigates the influence of manufacturing tolerances on the compliance properties of blade cross-sections, focusing specifically on a previously disregarded feature: the trailing edge bond-line. To conduct this investigation, the validated cross-sectional modelling tools BECAS and VABS are used to demonstrate that even small geometric variations can have significant influence on cross-sectional stiffness properties. The results are further examined and substantiated through the utilisation of 3D finite element models, adopting both shell and solid elements. We conclude that an accurate geometric representation of the cross-section is necessary to adequately capture the shear flow within it and assure accurate predictions on cross-sectional stiffness properties.
THE ROLE OF ISTIHALAH (TRANSFORMATION) AND ISTIHLAK (CONSUMPTION) IN THE PERMISSIBILITY OF VACCINES DERIVED FROM FORBIDDEN ORIGINS: AN ISLAMIC LAW PERSPECTIVE
Authors: AMİN Abdul Moben , GÜNAY Haci Mehmet
Published: August 2023

The emergence of pandemics presents significant challenges to global health, economies, and societies at large. In such critical circumstances, the development and widespread adoption of effective vaccines are of utmost importance to protect lives, improve population health, and restore social and economic stability. Islamic jurisprudence, with its emphasis on the preservation of life and the wellbeing of individuals, plays a crucial role in influencing the acceptance and utilization of vaccines within societies that predominantly adhere to the Islamic faith. This article explores the role of two significant concepts in Islamic jurisprudence, namely Istihalah and Istihlak, in determining the permissibility (halal) of vaccines derived from sources that are considered haram. Focusing on materials such as animal tissues, human fetal tissues, pig gelatin, and alcohol, which may raise concerns re-garding their compliance with Islamic teachings, this article investigates the processes of transformation and purification involved in the production of such vaccines. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the permissibility of vac- cines derived from haram sources, drawing upon a wide range of scientific opinions, fatwas (religious decrees), classical and contemporary Islamic legal texts, and scientific research. It highlights that the prevailing view among the fatwa councils and the majority of Islamic scholars is that such vaccines are considered halal (permissible). Extensive research demonstrates that the 57 member countries of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) exhibit a strong commitment to combating infectious diseases through the prioritized utilization of vaccines. Again, this article adopts a multidisciplinary approach encompassing scientific knowledge, bioethics, and Islamic jurisprudence to elucidate the alignment of vac cination methods with Islamic principles. The principal aim of this study is to enhance the informed decision-making process for healthcare professionals, policy-makers, and religious leaders by furnishing them with invaluable insights.

Published: August 2023

Purpose. The objective of this study was to assess the impact of beverages and tooth brushing on the microhardness of different restorative materials. Materials-methods. Disk-shaped samples of compomer (Dyract XP), glass ionomer cement (GIC) (Ionofil Molar AC), and composite resin (Filtek Z250) were prepared. The samples were randomly allocated to four groups and conditioned in various beverages (cheery juice, cola, chocolate milk, and distilled water) for 3 hours per day over 60 days. Each group was further subdivided to a brushing and a non-brushing subgroup. In the brushing group, samples were brushed once daily with toothpaste and an electric toothbrush. The surface hardness of the samples was measured at baseline and after 60 days. Results. The microhardness of composite resin group increased in all solutions (p<0.05). The compomer group exhibited a decrease in microhardness after immersion in cola and cherry juice (p<0.05). The surface hardness of the GIC was measured to be lower in all solutions (p<0.05). Brushing had no effect on the microhardness in any of the groups (p>0.05) Conclusion. Filtek Z250 composite exhibited better surface hardness values than compomer and GIC. Cola and cherry juice decreased the microhardness of compomer and GIC.
Alguns pensamentos sobre a leitura e os estudos destinados ao uso de um cavalheiro
Authors: Jungmann de Castro Rodrigo
Published: August 2023

Escrito em 1703, no ano anterior à morte de John Locke, este breve ensaio nos fornece uma visão das concepções pedagógicas maduras de Locke, que de certa forma complementam aquilo que podemos depreender da leitura dos seus “Alguns Pensamentos sobre a Educação”, obra datada de 1693. Estritamente ancorado nas concepções empiristas de Locke, este último  tratado se ocupa da educação da criança e de sua relação com os pais ou, alternativamente, os preceptores. O texto que o leitor tem em mãos, por seu turno, destina-se a não a educadores de crianças mas ao homem – ou, mais precisamente, ao “cavalheiro” (gentleman) inglês sequioso de obter uma boa educação. De caráter eminentemente prático, os conselhos de Locke aqui não se baseiam fundamentalmente nas suas teorias epistemológicas mas antes na sua vasta experiência como um homem de cultura e um homem do mundo, bem versado nas artes da política e da diplomacia. Nunca é demais enfatizar que a contribuição de Locke para o sucesso da Revolução Gloriosa, de 1688, não foi puramente teórica. Locke participou da conspiração que depôs Jaime II e levou ao trono Guilherme de Orange.
THE CONFESSION IN MICHEL FOUCAULT:
Authors: Rosa Alex , Jessica Domiciano Geremias
Published: August 2023

A privileged element of contemporary law, confession as a means of proof in criminal proceedings is the object of analysis in this research. Based on a bibliographic review, the study will seek to decompose and reorganize the object on two fronts, constructing a theoretical hypothesis that proposes to observe confession as an inquisitorial practice of an institution, but which also has a traceable genealogical depth in the modulations of subjectivation techniques.  The notion of the care of the self that Michel Foucault referred to unfolds in Christian ethics and asceticism, reorganizing the sense of care of the self and slowly, as Christian philosophy developed and the influence of the Catholic Church in the state grew, make the act of confession loaded with an institutional-subjective double, elements that allow Zaffaroni to observe the apparent neutrality of contemporary justice as a facade for an authoritarian state and adept at inquisitorial practices, especially in matters of criminal justice.

Published: August 2023

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of school administrators’ empowering leadership behaviors on the psychological contract perceptions of secondary education institution (high school) teachers. The population of the study consists of 2,878 teachers who were working at 47 high schools located in central Elazığ during the 2019-2020 school year. The sample of the study consisted of 470 teachers selected from 12 schools using the stratified sampling method. Data were collected by using the "Scale for School Administrator Compliance with Psychological Contract" developed by Koçak (2016) and the “Scale for Teacher Compliance with Psychological Contract". Teacher perceptions of the level to which school administrators displayed empowering leadership behaviors were measured by using the Empowering Leadership Behaviors Scale developed by Konczak and Stelly and Trusty (2000) and adapted to Turkish by Aras (2013). It was found that teachers had high perceptions of school administrator compliance with psychological contract (SACPC) and that they also had a high level of compliance with psychological contract (STCPC). Additionally, it was found that teacher perceptions of school administrators displaying empowering leadership behaviors (OYGLD) were also high. Perceptions of teachers who had been working for 7-11 years in the same school regarding school administrator compliance with psychological contract were higher than those of teachers who had been working in the same institution for 2-6 years. Moderately positive and significant relationships were found between the Scale for School Administrator Compliance with Psychological Contract (SACPC), the Scale for Teacher Compliance with Psychological Contract (STCPC) and its subdimensions, and the Empowering Leadership Behaviors Scale (ELBS). The variables of deciding on one’s own, knowledge sharing and innovative performance did not have a significant impact.

How Do Different Weighting Methods Affect the Overall Effect Size in Meta-Analysis? : An Example of Science Attitude in Türkiye Sample
Authors: Yıldırım Yıldız , Şahin Melek Gülşah
Published: August 2023

There is increasing interest in meta-analysis in different fields due to the need to combine the results of primary research. One of the crucial concepts in combining results is weighting. This study examines how Hunter and Schmidt's method, weighting by sample size; Hedges and Vevea's method, weighting by inverse variance; and Osburn and Callender's method, unweighting, affect the overall effect size in meta-analysis. In this context, for meta-analysis, the search was done for studies examining the effects of alternative measurement and assessment techniques and methods in science education on science attitudes. The databases of the HEI National Thesis Center, Web of Science, ERIC, EBSCO, Google Scholar, and DergiPark were searched between 2010 and 2021. Eleven studies (with 14 effect sizes) that met the criteria were included in the meta-analysis. In line with the study's findings, it was observed that the overall effect sizes were significant and did not change much in the weighting methods. Besides, it was found that the method with the lowest standard error was unweighted. The weighting methods of Hunter and Schmidt and Hedges and Vevea gave similar results in terms of standard error. When the correlation coefficient between the weighting methods was examined, it was seen that all correlation coefficients were greater than 0.90.

Published: August 2023

В данной статье приведены сведения по влиянию природных и минеральных подкормок на яйценоскость и вес матки.

Практически отсутствуют данные об использовании природных питательных веществ в Узбекистане для повышения продуктивности пчелиных семей местной популяции. Отмечено, что в  последние годы в республике из-за хронического недостатка в кормах витаминов, жиров, углеводов, аминокислот, микро- и макроэлементов при подкормке пчел, особенно в ранневесенний период снижается продуктивность пчелиной семьи.  В качестве природных кормов для контрольной группы использовался 50 %-ный сахарный сироп, для второй экспериментальной группы 50 %-ного сахарного сиропа + сироп пророщенной пшеницы (солод), а для третьей экспериментальной группы 50 %-ный сахарный сироп+ минеральная добавка с микроэлементом селена. Отмечалось увеличение веса и яйценоскости маток, которых подкармливали солодом и минеральными добавками.

Выявлено влияние сиропа пророщенной пшеницы (солода) на продуктивность пчелиных семей в специфических природно-климатических условиях Узбекистана; определено влияние подкормки натуральными и минеральными элементами питания на рост и развитие пчелиной семьи, и суточную яйценоскость маток.

В последние годы использование селена в пчеловодстве получило широкое распространение в зарубежных странах, в связи с этим мы стремились использовать селен для повышения продуктивности пчелиной семьи.

Authors: Lee Myoung-Joo , Kim Kug-Hee
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of eyebrow shape on facial image evaluation of mask wearers. Questionnaire method was used as the data collection method. The stimuli used in the questionnaire were created using Adobe Photoshop CC 2018. We created two types of questionnaires by first calculating the average rate of change for each of the six types of eyebrows mentioned in eyebrow makeup, and then combining these six types of eyebrows on the face of the same model. The questionnaire was administered to adults in their 20s and 40s living in Seoul. We used the SPSS 21.0 program to analyze a total of 328 copies of the data. The results of the data analysis are as follows. First, the respondents were mainly female students in their 20s. Second, we found the following results regarding the effect of wearing a mask on the perception of other people's facial images. The results showed that facial images without masks were mainly influenced by eyes and face shape, while facial images with masks were mainly influenced by eyes, eyebrows, and hairstyle. Third, the sub-dimensions of facial image consisted of "soft", "urban", and "tired". Fourth, we found that the facial image of mask wearers varies according to the six different eyebrow shapes, which affects the overall facial evaluation. The gender and age of the perceiver also made a difference in the overall face evaluation. In other words, facial information visible while wearing a mask, specifically visual cues around the eyes (eyebrow shape), have been shown to act as positive or negative cues for overall facial image evaluation.

Published: August 2023

Applications for blockchain technology span various industries beyond cryptocurrency, which is a popular topic in recent times due to high-profile events. Blockchain technology has several inherent characteristics such as variety, security, trustworthiness and decentralization. Due to such characteristics beauty industry is also embracing blockchain technology to conduct safer transactions, boost consumer confidence and more. However not enough research has been done on consumer’s intention to accept blockchain technology in beauty industry. Adapting to latest technological developments is crucial in today’s competitive and volatile business environments. A way to measure intention to accept technology is technology acceptance model (TAM), originally proposed by Davis in 1989. This research utilizes TAM to study consumer’s acceptance intention of blockchain technology in beauty industry to provide empirical data for encouraging further academic research and developing business strategies for accelerated adoption of blockchain technology in beauty industry.
The Effect of Spatial Production in Hair Salons on Customer’s Revisit Intention and Word-of-Mouth Intention
Authors: Lee Jong-Min , Jin Yong-Mi
Published: August 2023

The purpose of this study is to provide more practical basic data for hair salon marketing strategies by examining the effect of spatial production in hair salons on customer’s revisit intention and word-of-mouth intention. As a result, it was found that only the cleanliness factor of spatial production had a significant positive effect on the customer's revisit intention, and the cleanliness and differentiation factor of spatial production had a significant positive effect on the customer's word-of-mouth intention. Specific improvements in cleanliness and differentiation are as follows in order to promote revisit and word-of-mouth of beauty salon customers. First, in order to secure regular customers, the priority should be to create a clean space, and in the case of already existing hair salons, the revisit rate of existing customers can be increased by cleanly managing the space where the customer directly exists. Second, in order to attract new customers, it is believed that the effect of creating new customers through word-of-mouth can be increased by focusing on cleanliness as previously mentioned, and by using the brand's representative color so that customers can experience the brand's unique sensibility in the salon space. This study is meaningful because previous research on beauty salon space was insignificant, and it suggests that more attention should be paid to the cleanliness and differentiation of beauty salon space to revisit customers and attract new customers. However, in this study, several items that hinder reliability in relation to functionality were deleted, and in future studies, it is considered necessary to further revise and supplement functionality-related items so that the constituent concepts of spatial performance can be evaluated more closely.

Authors: Xiang Zhou Zhen , Choi Min-Lyoung
Published: August 2023

This study aimed to help broaden awareness horizons among people in their 20s and 30s in South Korea and China in terms of both the necessity of appearance management and the importance of makeup. Therefore, after a survey carried out among young people in South Korea and China, we conducted a comparative analysis of how their concern for appearance and appearance management has an influence on their makeup awareness and grooming behaviors, with the intention of exploring practical implications to help develop cosmetics for men and give the their cosmetics market a jump-start. The findings are as follows. First, it turned out that nowadays, Chinese young people see the graduate school entrance rates rising significantly, with the increasing number of Chinese students studying in graduate schools in South Korea. It means that the education is considered as the ladder of socioeconomic success in China. Second, concern for appearance and its management, makeup awareness, and grooming behaviors, saw difference by education among Chinese men while seeing difference by age among South Korean men. It illustrates there is increasingly noticeable perception in Chinese men that a good appearance is the ladder of socioeconomic success. Moreover, the higher degree the Chinese men had of education, the more clear their perception was. It implies that Chinese men with a high degree of education have a lot of potential to emerge as the largest buying class in the cosmetics consumption. Finally, men in China as well as in South Korea proved to have a strong interest in their concern for appearance, appearance management, makeup awareness, and grooming behaviors. It also showed, the higher concern for appearance, and appearance management they had, the more active they were in makeup awareness and grooming behaviors. Irrespective of gender and nationality, the concern for appearance as human common needs should be a guarantee of a sustained growth and a development potential in the industry of makeup with a direct effect on an appearance enhancement. To sum up, the implication of this findings is that there is a need for developing cosmetics fitting the taste of not only women but also men in China to help give the men's cosmetics market a jump-start.

Published: August 2023

In the present study, we examined the effects of the ethanol extract of Mentha arvensis on skin inflammation and anti-allergic effect in various cell lines; human fibroblast cells (hFCs), human mast cells (HMC-1) and human monocytic cells (THP-1) cells. Treatment with Mentha arvensis extract at a concentration of 250 ㎍/㎖ for 24h showed no significant decrease in the survival rate of the hFCs, HMC-1, THP-1. The final concentration was set at 200 ㎍/㎖ or less. Mentha arvensis extract significantly decreased the mRNA expression of IL-8, and IL-6 at 200 ㎍/㎖ in HMC-1 cells. Mentha arvensis extract treatment significantly inhibited the protein expression of IL-6 and, IL-8 induced by mite at 200 ㎍/㎖ in THP-1 cells. We examined the alternation of histamine release in HMC-1 cells for investigating anti-allergic effect of Mentha arvensis. Histamine secretion was significantly decreased at 200 ㎍/㎖, 100 ㎍/㎖ after the treatment with Mentha arvensis. In addition, Mentha arvensis extract treatment at a concentration of 50 ㎍/㎖, 100 ㎍/㎖, and 200 ㎍/㎖ lowered the β-hexosaminidase to 10.3%, 21.7%, and 50.8%, respectively. IC50 of Mentha arvensis extract in RBL-2H3 cells was 196.85 ㎍/㎖. The activity of NF-κB promoter cells significantly decreased at 200 ㎍/㎖, 100 ㎍/㎖ after the dose-dependent treatment of Mentha arvensis. Therefore, our results indicate that Mentha arvensis has anti-inflammatory and it may be useful for treating skin barrier damage, which is problematic in allergic diseases such as atopic dermatitis.

Apprenticeship Learning and Adolescents’ Acquisition of Social and Cognitive Skills in Tailoring Workshops in Bamenda: Implications for Situated Learning
Authors: Angu Nji Roland , Chu Ambei Moses
Published: August 2023

This study aimed at investigating situated learning and adolescents’ acquisition of social and cognitive skills in Bamenda in the North West Region of Cameroon. In this regard the researchers sought to provide answers to two important research questions namely: 1) How does modeling influence the acquisition of Social and Cognitive Skills in Tailoring Workshops in Bamenda?; 2) How does coaching influence the acquisition of Social and Cognitive Skills in Tailoring Workshops in Bamenda? The study anchored on three theories which are: Lave and Wenger’s (1991) situated Learning theory, Brown, Allan Collins and Paul Duguid’s (1989) Situated learning cognition and Vygotsky’s (1978) sociocultural perspective of learning. A concurrent nested mixed method design with the help of questionnaire and interviews was used for data collection from some 20 adolescent apprentices learning their trade at tailoring workshops in Bamenda. Findings of the study revealed that modeling influences adolescents’ acquisition of social and cognitive skills. It was also revealed that coaching had a significant influence on the acquisition of social and cognitive skills among adolescent apprentices. A number of recommendations were made to masters/expert tailors, apprentices and the government. As far as master/expert tailors are concerned, they should understand that learning within such an informal context does not always require direct instruction but that it is usually accidental. In this regard, the onus is on them to ensure that they demonstrate clearly the tasks they would eventually expect the novice apprentices to perform so that they can keenly pay attention, observe and eventually perform to the best of their abilities.
Bir Askeri Uçak Türü Olarak Savaş Uçaklarının Dünü, Bugünü ve Geleceği Türkiye Örneği

Savunma bir ülkenin en önemli güvenlik sağlayıcısı olup, savunma alanındaki güç ülkenin milli gücünü önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Bu nedenle egemenliğine önem veren ülkeler için savunma alanında güç kazanmak bir gerekliliktir. Geleneksel savunma anlayışı kara, hava ve deniz savunması olarak üç gruba ayrılmaktadır. Modern dünyada gelişen teknolojiye bağlı olarak ayrıca siber güç ve uzay gücüne dayalı savunma anlayışı da ortaya çıkmıştır. Hava savunmasında birçok araç kullanılmaktadır. Bu araçlar arasında bilhassa savaş uçakları savunma ve tehdidin bertaraf edilmesi noktasında önemli araçlardır. Türkiye hava savunması konusunda Osmanlı Devleti’nin son döneminde ciddi adımlar atmış, ancak Cumhuriyet sonrası dönemde adımlarını hızlandırarak askeri atılımlar yapabilmiştir. Savaş uçaklarının çoğunluğu ithal uçaklar olsa da yerli ve milli üretim konusunda da ciddi adımlar atılması Türk askeri havacılığının gelişeceğinin bir göstergesidir. Bu makale çalışmasındaki amaç, askeri havacılık alanında kullanılan araçlardan savaş uçakları konusu ele alarak, tarihsel bir perspektifte savaş uçaklarının dünü, bugünü ve geleceğinin değerlendirilmesidir. Literatür taraması yöntemiyle hazırlanan bu çalışma konuyla ilgili kitap, makale, tez ve daha birçok güncel kaynağın da taranarak değerlendirilmesi ve yorumlanmasıyla birlikte konuya ışık tutmuştur.
Askeri Hava Kargo Taşımacılığı Yükleme Teknisyenlerinin İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği Sorunları

Published: August 2023

Havacılık alanında ikinci dünya savaşından sonra yaşanan teknoloji yoğun gelişmelere benzer gelişmelerin yaşandığı bir dönemden geçiyoruz. Çok yakın bir gelecekte insanlı kullanım için üretilen uçakların ve yeni nesil insansız hava araçlarının yer ekiplerinden bağımsız bir şekilde otonom olarak uçuşlarını gerçekleştirecekleri beklenmektedir. Bunun öncelikle askeri lojistiğin bel kemiğini oluşturan uçar kargo platformlarıyla gerçekleştirileceği yapılan deneysel uçuşlardan anlaşılmaktadır. Bundan sonraki süreçte giderek uçuşta pilotu göremeyeceğiz, ancak kargo uçaklarına yükün yüklenmesi sürecinde hatta uçuş esnasında gerekli durumlarda yükleme teknisyenleri yoğun olarak görev yapmaya devam edeceklerdir. Literatür taraması yöntemiyle gerçekleştirilen ve tanıtıcı nitelikte olan bu çalışmada, yüksek sorumluluk ve risk altında çalışan askeri hava kargo yükleme teknisyenlerinin iş sağlığı ve güvenliği açısından karşılaşacağı tehlikeler incelenmiş ve bunların önlenmesine yönelik farkındalık yaratılması amaçlanmıştır.
The Limited Influence of Voluntary Environmental Partnerships on Increasing the Saliency of Freight Emissions in Corporate Sustainability Strategy
Authors: Tate Wendy L. , Ellram Lisa M. , Saunders Lance
Published: August 2023

Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in freight transportation is important for organizations. Transportation emissions are rapidly increasing in developing countries and are the second greatest source of emissions after electricity generation globally. Reducing freight transportation emissions is not a priority on the corporate sustainability agenda for many companies despite their significant impact on climate change. This research explores the paradox between the significant negative impact of freight transportation on climate change and its lack of saliency in corporate strategy using data from in-depth interviews with 12 organizations that are shipper members of SmartWay, a voluntary environmental partnership (VEP). Using mid-range theory (MRT) building beginning with legitimacy theory, this research explores how transportation functions and corporations measure and report freight transportation emissions reduction as part of the environmental sustainability agenda. The results provide insight into how an operationally focused VEP is challenged in gaining strategic organizational importance for its mission of freight emissions reduction and why the current approach of focusing on freight emission issues in transportation has limited traction.
Curation of FOAMS: a Free Open-Access Misophonia Stimuli Database
Authors: Orloff Dean M. , Benesch Danielle , Hansen Heather A.
Published: August 2023

Misophonia is a disorder of decreased tolerance to certain “trigger” sounds (e.g., chewing, tapping, clicking). While misophonia research is scant in general, studies presenting sounds are especially rare and methodologically variable, likely due to the labor and time required to create stimuli. Thus, we introduce FOAMS: Free Open-Access Misophonia Stimuli, a sound bank publicly available on Zenodo, accompanied by pilot discomfort ratings for 32 of these sounds (4 exemplars of 8 classes). The FOAMS database aims to decrease the burden on researchers, facilitating reproducibility and the pursuit of nuanced research questions to better understand this perplexing disorder.

Araştırmada doğum eylemine katılan ebelik bölümü öğrencileri ile doğum eylemine hiç katılmamış olan ebelik bölümü öğrencilerin doğum korkusu düzeylerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır.

Kesitsel tipte yapılan bu araştırmaya; Mart-Mayıs 2019 tarihleri arasında bir devlet üniversitesinde eğitimlerini sürdüren, araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 298 ebelik öğrencisi dahil edilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan Birey Tanıtım Formu ve Uçar ve Taşhan (2018) tarafından geçerlik ve güvenirliği yapılan ‘Gebelik Öncesi Doğum Korkusu Ölçeği kullanılmıştır.

Araştırmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20.40±2.27 (min:18,max:37) yıldır. Katılımcıların %98’i bekar olup, %79.9’u çocuk sahibi olmayı istemektedir. Gebe kaldıklarında %90.3’ü normal vajinal doğumu, %9.7’si ise sezaryen doğumu tercih etmeyi düşünmektedir. Normal doğumu seçmede, normal vajinal doğumun sağlıklı (%40.1) ve doğal olması (%25.7); sezaryende ise, normal doğum korkusu (%44.8) ve ağrı korkusu etkili olmuştur. Öğrencilerin %69.1’i doğum endişesi duymakta olup, nedenleri arasında ise; doğum ağrısı çekme (%48), bebek travması (%17.4), olumsuz doğum öyküsü (%12.8) ve mahremiyete saygısızlık (%3.7) yer almaktadır. Öğrenciler; doğum hakkındaki yeterli (%30.9) veya kısmen (%51.7) bilgiye sahip olduklarını ifade etmiştir. Ebelik öğrencilerinin sadece 86’sı (%28.8) doğuma aktif katılmışken, doğumu gözlemleyenlerin sayısı 167 (%56.1) olup, araştırmaya katılan tüm öğrencilerin yarısından fazlasının doğuma katılımı olmuştur. Katılımcıların GÖDKÖ puan ortalaması 35.03±9.19’tür ve öğrencilerin; sınıfları, doğum hakkındaki bilgi düzeyleri, doğuma aktif katılım ve doğumu gözlemleme durumları arasında GÖDKÖ puanları açısından fark saptanmamıştır.Fakat öğrencilerin doğum tercihi, doğum hakkında endişe duyma durumları ile GÖDKÖ açısından anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur.

Ebelik öğrencilerinde doğuma aktif katılım veya gözlem yapmanın doğum korkusuna etkisinin olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Ancak doğum endişesi duyan ve sezaryen tercih eden öğrencilerin doğum korkusu daha fazladır.
