A Recent Connected Vehicle - IoT Automotive Application Based on Communication Technology
Authors: Thanh Chi Phan  , Prabhdeep Singh
Published: December 2023

Realizing the full potential of vehicle communications depends in large part on the infrastructure of vehicular networks. As more cars are connected to the Internet and one another, new technological advancements are being driven by a multidisciplinary approach. As transportation networks become more complicated, academic, and automotive researchers collaborate to offer their thoughts and answers. They also imagine various applications to enhance mobility and the driving experience. Due to the requirement for low latency, faster throughput, and increased reliability, wireless access technologies and an appropriate (potentially dedicated) infrastructure present substantial hurdles to communication systems. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the wireless access technologies, deployment, and connected car infrastructures that enable vehicular connectivity. The challenges, issues, services, and maintenance of connected vehicles that rely on infrastructure-based vehicular communications are also identified in this paper.
A trip to the supermarket: Towards authentic learning design in mathematics for underprepared first years
Authors: Freitas Nelisa , Cronjé Johannes
Published: December 2023

This chapter describes the design principles and outcomes of a learning intervention to improve the mathematics abilities related to mental arithmetic and arithmetic/operational skills to solve simple mathematics amongst a group of underprepared first-year Information Technology students at a large university of technology in the Western Cape, South Africa. Although these students had passed mathematics in the South African matriculation examinations, a university placement test showed that their ability in mathematics lay at Grade 6 school level. They had very little understanding of the basic concepts of mathematics as well as a general fear of the subject. Mathematics proficiency of South African school-leavers is generally poor and unequally distributed. The key drivers resulting in poor mathematics results include fear of mathematics, poor teaching, and inadequate resources. Authentic learning offers a means by which the mathematics proficiency of school-leavers can be addressed. Contextualisation develops mathematics concepts and authentic problems can be aligned with students’ careers. The use of everyday objects allows practical exploration, contributing to realistic mathematics. In a mixed method, sequential exploratory study, a series of learning events were designed using the Analysis, Design, Develop, Implement, Evaluate (ADDIE) model. Following the principles of authentic learning, students were given online learning tasks followed by a field trip to a supermarket, where they were exposed to everyday items of various sizes and proportions. With the aid of worksheets, they learned about proportions and fractions. While only 41.27% of the students passed the pre-test, 71.45% passed the post-test. A qualitative analysis of their interview responses showed an increase in their motivation and confidence to complete the subject. The chapter concludes with recommendations for the design of authentic learning experiences in mathematics, as well as suggestions for further development and research.
Critical compassionate learning design: Cases from South Africa and Egypt
Authors: Pallitt Nicola , Bali Maha , Gachago Daniela
Published: December 2023

This chapter explores the concept of compassionate learning design, which is influenced by humanising pedagogies and trauma-informed approaches, with a focus on equity and care. The authors define compassionate learning design as a critical praxis that results from a desire to enhance learner participation and promote social justice while acknowledging the significance of care and affect. The goal is to achieve "parity of participation," ensuring that all learners, including the most marginalised, have the opportunity to be involved in decision-making within their learning experiences.

The authors share three case studies from universities in South Africa and Egypt and analyse their approaches to supporting educators with emergency remote teaching and learning. The cases provide a basis for reflection and analysis rather than providing prescriptive examples. The authors developed a framework based on their earlier work on design dimensions for context-sensitive networked professional development and theories of social justice to reflect on their own teaching and learning practices and hope that these may inform others' practices going forward.
Reflecting on the knowledge-identity nexus in the learning design of an online postgraduate short course
Authors: Tshuma Nompilo
Published: December 2023

Learning design in higher education seeks to promote the development of learning experiences that enable students to meet the outcomes of a course while actively engaging in learning. The form that learning design takes should ideally differ depending on, among other reasons, who the learner is, the purpose of the course and where the learning will take place. In this chapter, I reflect on the development of a fully online Introduction to NVivo short course for postgraduate students at a university in South Africa. I draw on one of several distinguishing characteristics of postgraduate education – the knowledge-identity nexus – to frame the learning design of the course. My main argument is that postgraduate education poses a unique set of challenges for learning designers, and an awareness of these differences should ideally foreground learning design practices at this level.

Indigenous learning practices: Creating reflective spaces for growth and transformation
Authors: Green Jennifer , Ruwhiu Paul'e , Carvalho Lucila , Sheridan Nicolette
Published: December 2023

Western ways of “knowing” and “being” have dominated higher education for many centuries, contributing to the perpetuation of existing practices and voices within political and economic systems. In higher education / university / wānanga contexts, there is a need for learning design approaches that invite educators and learners to engage in diverse knowledge practices other than those associated with Western traditions, especially for learners who would benefit from education grounded in indigenous learning practices. This chapter focuses on a course that is founded on an indigenous te ao Māori worldview to illustrate the significant learning that can occur in an authentic, locally situated and context-specific practice environment. Its learning design showcases a way of decolonising the curriculum, learning environment and health professional education and practice.

Interviews and observations with teaching staff and students informed the analysis of this hybrid learning environment. Taking an ecological approach grounded in practice theory, the analysis draws on the Activity-Centred Analysis and Design framework to examine how an assemblage of elements (including tools, tasks and social design elements of the course) influences its emergent activities. Four distinct learning activities from the noho marae (overnight stay) are described and evaluated using a learning design framework through an iterative process of “zooming in” and “zooming out”.

The chapter provides operational details for learning design and argues that authentic, locally contextualised, culturally respectful learning practices can be highly effective for learners and their subsequent graduate practice. This design is in alignment with UNESCO’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of good health and well-being (SDG3) and quality education (SDG4).

A field experiment was conducted on the phosphorus and plant population management in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) cropping system during 1994 95 in summer season on medium black soils at Pune, Maharashtra. An application of 75 kg P,O,/ha, with the treatment of P solubilizer to seeds before sowing and sowing the crop at 30 cm x 10 cm spacing with 330,000 plant populationlha significantly increased the a I growth, dry matter, yield attributes and yield of grounnut over rest of the . . treatments. However, a dose of 50 kg P,Odha with P solubilizer and sowing at the distance of 30 cm x 10 cm with 333,000 plant populationlha was found to be economical in groundnut. In the second trial as a catch crop and as a residual effect to test the fertility of soil, the green fenugreek yield (tonneslha) increased significantly due to application of 75 kg P,O,Iha given to previous crop over rest of the treatments.

Efficacy of herbicides applied alone and in tank mixture with isoproturon against wild oat (Avena ludoviciana) and broad leaf weeds in wheat (T ticum aestivum)
Authors: VIRENDER SARDANA
Published: December 2023

An investigation was conducted during winter seasons of 1996 97 and 1997 98 at Gurdaspur, Punjab, on fields heavily infested with broad leaf of weeds. An application of metribuzin (0.175 kg/ha) or pendimethalin (0.7 kg/ha) alone or tank mixture of isoproturon metribuzin (0.75 0.1 31 kglha), isoproturon atrazine (0.75 0.094 kglha) or isoproturon 2, 4 D (0.94 0 5 kg/ha) provided effective control of broad leaf weeds in wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori Paol.) Application of 2, 4 D or diclofopmethyl/tralkoxydim alone was not effective against broad leaf weeds, especially Medicago denticulata Willd., Lathyrus X aphaca L. and Vicia sativa L. However, diclofopme hyl or tralkoxydim alone in tank mixture with isoproturon effectively controlled wild oat. lsoproturon atrazine and isoproturon 2, 4 D recorded the lowest dry matter of weeds in the first and second year respectively. The maximum weed density and dry matter of weeds were recorded in weedy check. Application of metribuzin (0.175 kglha) resulted in the maximum grain yield which was at par with tank mix application of isoproturon metribuzin, isoproturon atrazine, isoproturon 2,443, isoproturon and pendimethalin, whereas weedy check resulted in the minimum grain yield. The maximum net returns were obtained with metribuzin (0.175 kglha) application, followed by isoproturon metribuzin. However, maximum benefit : cost ratio was registered with atrazine applied 0.094 kglha. Diclofopmethyl resulted in the lowest net returns and benefit : cost ratio.
Were Relationships in the Workplace Changed? An Exploration of the Impacts of the Mandatory Work from Home Policy on Small and Medium-Sized Family Businesses in Switzerland
Authors: Schreier Claus , Udomkit Nuntana , Kreis Jennifer , Setthakorn Kevalin
Published: December 2023

Small- and medium-sized family business competitiveness is built largely upon trusted relationships between owners, management, and employees. This paper questions whether the quality of such relationships were changed by the work from home policy (WFH) utilized during the COVID-19 pandemic.

This research analyses how mandatory WFH impacted interpersonal relationships between  employees  and  supervisors  in  small  and  medium-sized  family  businesses  (SMFB) by applying leader-member exchange theory (LMX). Thirteen in-depth interviews were conducted with owners or the executive management of Swiss SMFB. The study concludes that WFH affects the quality of the relationship between leaders and their employees. WFH is beneficial for the family business and its special relationships as long as all parties can count on well-established, trusted relationships and motivated and open-minded leaders who are capable of keeping the level of interpersonal communication with their employees well balanced. Where employees are struggling with WFH tasks while perceiving a denaturation of the leader-employee relationship a “call back to office” should be considered and indicates that effort is needed to improve the interpersonal relationship. A decent level of mutual trust between the parties helps firms to go through or overcome the down sides and turbulences under WFH and supports maintaining and enhancing leader-follower relationships during challenging times.

Mütalaa Muhakeme Şartının Bazı Hallerde Aranmayacağına Dair 7394 sayılı Kanun İle Getirilen Düzenlemenin Zaman Bakımından Uygulamasına İlişkin Yargıtay 11. Ceza Dairesi Kararlarının Değerlendirilmesi

Published: December 2023

213 sayılı VUK’nun 359. maddesinde düzenlenen vergi kaçakçılığı suçlarının takibine ilişkin VUK’nun 367. maddesinde özel bir usul öngörülmüş olup, anılan maddede ilgili vergi komisyonundan mütalaa alınmasının zorunlu olduğu düzenlenmiştir. Yargıtay, mütalaa verilmesini bir muhakeme şartı olarak görmekte, hem fiil hem de fail için verilip verilmediğini büyük bir titizlikle denetlemektedir. Ayrıca Yargıtay, mütalaanın yargılama makamlarına yol gösterici bir takdiri delil niteliği taşıdığını kabul etmektedir. Ancak 08.04.2022 tarih ve 7394 sayılı Kanun’un 5. maddesi ile mütalaa muhakeme şartının düzenlendiği VUK’nun 367. maddesine yeni bir fıkra eklenerek önemli bir değişiklik yapılmıştır. Bu değişiklik ile, soruşturma veya kovuşturma konusu olmuş 359. maddede düzenlenen bir vergi kaçakçılığı fiilinin, başka bir kişi tarafından ya da başka bir kişiyle birlikte işlendiğinin sonradan tespiti halinde, yeni tespit edilen bu kişiler hakkında kamu davası açılabilmesi için ayrıca bir mütalaa alınmasına gerek olmayacağı belirtilmektedir. Böylelikle, değişiklik öncesinde mütalaanın her durumda hem fiil hem de fail hakkında verilme zorunluluğunun aranmasına ve mütalaanın verilemeyeceğinin anlaşılması halinde ise düşme kararı verilmesi gerektiğine yönelik Yargıtay uygulaması, getirilen düzenleme özelinde sonlanmıştır. Yargıtay 11. Ceza Dairesi ise, 7394 sayılı Kanun ile getirilen bu düzenlemenin derhal uygulama ilkesi kapsamında olduğunu değerlendirerek değişiklikten önce açılan ve mütalaa yokluğu nedeniyle düşme kararı verilen davalarda, bu düzenlemenin getirildiğini belirterek düşme kararı verilemeyeceğini ifade etmiştir. Yargıtay 11. Ceza Dairesi’nin bu uygulaması, mütalaa muhakeme şartının salt şekli ceza hukukuna ait bir kurum olduğu kabulüne dayanmaktadır. Ancak kanaatimizce, mütalaa muhakeme şartının özü ve işlevi sebebiyle yalnızca şekli ceza hukukuna özgü bir kurum olarak kabul edilmesi mümkün olmayıp, yokluğu halinde devlet ile fail arasındaki cezalandırma ilişkini sona erdirmesi bakımından maddi ceza hukukuna özgü önemli bir yönü bulunmaktadır. Bu itibarla eldeki çalışmada, Yargıtay 11. Ceza Dairesi’nin bu görüşünün aksine, öncelikle mütalaanın şekli ceza hukuku yönleriyle birlikte maddi ceza hukuku yönlerinin de bulunduğu açıklanmaya çalışılmış ve 7394 sayılı Kanun ile getiri-len değişikliğin derdest davalarda geriye yürütülmesine konu Yargıtay 11. Ceza Dairesi’nin iki kararının bu kapsamda değerlendirilmesi ile eleştirisine yer verilmiştir.

Publication History and Associated Academic Metrics of Selected Content Speakers at Arthroscopy Association of North America and American Orthopaedic Society for Sports MedicineAnnual Meetings
Authors: Modica Edward J. , Klein Brandon , Bartlett Lucas , Lencer Adam , Andriani Nicholas , Cohn Randy M. , Sgaglione Nicholas A.
Published: December 2023

Background

Annual meetings held by the Arthroscopy Association of North America (AANA) and the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine (AOSSM) are important platforms for showcasing relevant sports medicine innovation and research. While meeting planning committees likely consider multiple factors when selecting content speakers, it may be assumed that these speakers are well-published or have an academic reputation on their topic of presentation.

Hypothesis/Purpose

To assess the peer-reviewed publication history and associated academic metrics of selected content speakers of prominent sports medicine society meetings and to identify content areas that lack speakers with previous peer-reviewed publications on their topic of presentation.

Study Design

Cross-Sectional Review

Methods

The 2016-2019 conference programs of AANA and AOSSM annual meetings were screened for selected content speakers. Each selected content speaker was searched in the Scopus database to identify prior peer-reviewed publications that were relevant to their presentation topic. Each selected content speaker, presentation, and content category was analyzed to determine the speakers’ Hirsch index (H-index), number of speakers’ previous topic-specific publications, manuscripts’ weighted citation count (WCC), and number of speakers using means and proportions. Comparisons were performed with two-sample T-tests for continuous variables and two-sample Z-tests for proportions for categorical variables, with p-values less than 0.05 indicating statistical significance.

Results

Of 432 total lectures, 371 (86%) were given by speakers who were previously published on their topic, leaving only 61 lectures (14%) by speakers without previous topic-specific publication (p=0.0005). Nonoperative sports medicine had the highest proportion (34%, 24/71) of lectures delivered by speakers without prior topic-specific publications. Speakers presenting on the hip had the highest H-index (41.67); speakers presenting on the elbow held the highest average number of prior topic-specific publications (12.17); and speakers presenting on biologics held the highest average WCC (8.56). There were no differences between conferences in regard to the proportion of speakers without previous topic-specific publications, the total average number of prior topic-specific publications per speaker, or the total average WCC.

Conclusion

The AANA and AOSSM annual meetings largely include selected content speakers with prior peer-reviewed literature. While publication history and associated academic metrics may be factors in speaker selection, each organization likely has its own individual selection criteria for delivering high-quality programs.

Published: December 2023

Restless Legs Syndrome is a sensory-motor neurological disorder that is underdiagnosed in childhood. The etiology is unclear, but genetic factors, dopaminergic dysfunction and low iron stores play an important role. The presentation in children is very unspecific and diagnosis can sometimes be difficult, it is important to get an early diagnose of this pathology because of its impact on the patient´s quality of life. We present the case of a 4 year old girl who consults for symptoms compatible with Restless Legs Syndrome associated with iron deficiency, who showed significant improvement after iron treatment until the symptoms disappeared completely.

Hard ticks have become the main vectors of infectious diseases in the industrialized world, being able to transmit bacteria, viruses and protozoa through their bite, as well as causing allergic and toxic processes. Among the tick-borne disease the most frequent in our setting are boutonneuse fever, Lyme disease and Debonel/Tibola disease. Boutonneuse fever is the most common rickettsiosis in Europe. An increase in cases has been observed in recent years, probably related to the increase in global temperature.
Competing Construction Management Paradigms
Authors: Ballard Glenn , Howell Gregory
Published: December 2023

The Lean Construction Institute’s (LCI) goal is to develop and deploy a new way of thinking about and practicing project management. Projects are conceived as temporary production systems, to be designed in light of the relevant ‘physics’ of the task to be accomplished. It is claimed that complex, quick, and uncertain projects cannot be managed in traditional ways. Detailed CPM schedules, after-the-fact tracking, earned value analysis, and competitive bidding are inadequate to the challenge of today’s dynamic projects. There are four roots of this Lean Construction approach: success of the Toyota Production System, dissatisfaction with project performance, efforts to establish project management on a theoretical foundation, and the discovery of facts anomalous (impossible to explain) from the perspective of traditional thinking and practice. The last of these four is explored in this paper, which presents the current state of construction management thinking as one of conflict between competing paradigms.
Relational Contracting – Creating Value Beyond theProject
Authors: Colledge Barbara
Published: December 2023

Relational Contracting is a transaction or contracting mechanism that seeks to give explicit recognition to the commercial “relationship” between the parties to the contract. In essence, responsibilities and benefits of the contract are apportioned fairly and transparently, with mechanisms for delivery that focus on trust and partnership. At a project level in construction, this can improve working relationships between all project stakeholders, can facilitate efficient and effective construction, can enhance financial returns and can minimise the incidence and make easier the resolution of conflict. However, the value of relational contracting can extend beyond the project benefiting for example the relationships between the parties in the longer term, or construction industry productivity or profitability. Less well disseminated is the value that relational contracting can create for the wider community or society. The development of sustainable communities is a goal to which society aspires. The adoption of relational contracting approaches can make a significant contribution to the development of social capital, and the four pillars of sustainable communities, those of connectedness, citizenship, creative citizens and competitiveness. This paper considers relational contracting from this perspective and argues for greater recognition of the value created beyond the project.
Flexibility in Long-Term Contractual Relationships: The Role of Co-Operation.
Authors: Campbell David , Harris Donald
Published: December 2023

A very substantial body of empirical and theoretical literature now exists which purports to show that the explanation of long-term contracts by means of the classical law of contract is most problematic. The classical law, and its economic corollary in relatively unsophisticated forms of neo-classical economics, assume contractual promises to be the legal expression of the intentions of rational, utility maximising individuals making discrete exchanges in perfectly competitive markets. There is a strong implication bound up in this assumption that the parties to a contract rapidly would alter their allocative decisions should changed circumstances offer them the possibility of realising profits in excess of those to be realised by performance of the existing contract. One form of this idea is the notion of the efficient breach. The rejection of the possibility of coming to any general conclusion about the efficiency of breach because of the impossibility of quantifying such a breach’s full costs to the non-breaching party is one example of the type of rejection of individual utility maximizing behavior as a tenable explanation of contractual relations that we will pursue in general here (Harris 1982, Macneill 1982, Macneil 1988).
A Korean male with Kleefstra syndrome presented with micropenis
Authors: Lee Rosie , Lee Mi-seon , Moon Jung Eun
Published: December 2023

Kleefstra syndrome is caused by chromosome 9q34.3 deletion or heterozygous mutations in the euchromatin histone methyl transferase 1 (EHMT1) gene. It can be accompanied by intellectual disability, distinctive facial features, microcephaly, psychiatric disorders, hypotonia in childhood, hearing loss, heart defects, renal defects, epilepsy, speech anomalies, and obesity. Furthermore, genital anomalies are present in 30%–40% of male patients with Kleefstra syndrome, but their mechanisms have not been elucidated. Herein, we report a patient with Kleefstra syndrome presenting with micropenis. The patient was transferred to Kyungpook National University Children's Hospital for management of imperforate anus on the day of birth. Physical examination revealed micropenis with stretched penile length of 0.9 cm and facial dysmorphisms, including hypertelorism and anteverted nares. Chromosomal microarray revealed 424-kb heterozygous deletion at chromosome 9q34.3 (arr[hg19] 9q34.3 (140,234,315-140,659,055)x1). Among the involved main OMIM genes, phenotypically relevant genes were EHMT1 and NSMF. Endocrinological investigation showed low basal gonadotropin and testosterone levels. Anterior pituitary hormones and steroid hormone levels were in the normal range. Testicular function was normal based on human chorionic gonadotropin stimulation test. The patient experienced improvement in penile length growth with intramuscular testosterone enanthate injection initiated at 4 months of age. The purpose of this study is to describe the etiology, endocrine laboratory tests, and treatment of micropenis in Kleefstra syndrome.

Purpose: The correlation between the incidence of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and tuberculosis or bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) vaccination rate in individuals aged <15 years was investigated using worldwide data.Methods: The incidence of T1DM, rate of BCG vaccination, and incidence of tuberculosis were obtained from the Diabetes Atlas 9th edition of the International Diabetes Federation and the Global Health Observatory data repository of the World Health Organization. Gross domestic product (GDP) per capita and population data by country were obtained from the World Bank and United Nations, respectively.Results: GDP per capita negatively correlated with the incidence of tuberculosis and positively correlated with the incidence of T1DM (coefficient=-0.630 and 0.596, respectively; all P<0.001). The incidence of T1DM and tuberculosis was significantly associated with the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) status (P<0.001). After adjusting for GDP per capita, regional grouping, and OECD status, the incidence of T1DM negatively correlated with that of tuberculosis (R2 =0.729, P=0.009). However, there was no association between the BCG vaccination rate and incidence of T1DM (P=0.890).Conclusion: There was a negative correlation between the incidence of tuberculosis and T1DM in children and adolescents aged <15 years at the country level.

Bay leaves (Sygygium polyanthum), kaffir lime leaves (Citrus hystrix) and pandan leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius) are herb leaves with unique aroma that are often added to dishes to strengthen and enrich the taste. The high demand of the leaves has prompted efforts to make them easy to distribute and shelf stable. Drying can increase the shelf life of these leaves with acceptable quality. The objectives of the research were to determine drying models for these leaves using two types of driers and to determine the panelist's preference for the dried and rehydrated leaves. These herb leaves are fresh-picked from the tree, cleaned and dried using the two different driers, i.e. fluidized bed drier (temperature 40-42°C) and tray drier (temperature 58-61°C). The leaves were weighed every 15 minutes until they reached a constant weight. Fresh leaves and dry leaves were photographed. The drying kinetics of both types of driers were checked with the Lewis model and Page model. Panelist preference test was carried out on dry leaves and leaves that had been rehydrated using hot water. The results showed that drying with a tray drier was able to dry faster than that with a fluidized bed drier. The Page drying model is more suitable to describe the drying conditions than the Lewis drying model. Panelists preferred dry and rehydrated herb leaves obtained from fluidized bed drying.

Fish is one of the nine major food allergens. Avoiding consumption of fish is a common preventive measure to mitigate fish allergies. On the other hand, food processing may potentially alter the allergenicity of fish, and thus, it is important to identify the most effective fish processing methods that can reduce its allergenicity. This research aimed to characterize the nutritional value, intensity of allergens, and allergenicity from the processing of tenggiri fish processing to produce surimi as intermediate food and ready to eat (RTE) otak-otak. The processing steps consisted of washing and adding cryoprotectant during surimi processing, and using deep and air frying methods in RTE otak-otak processing. Changes in the nutritional value and intensity of allergens of fish meat and its processed products were measured using proximate analysis and SDS-PAGE electrophoresis, respectively. The alterations in the allergenicity were investigated using immunoblotting and ELISA. The results revealed changes in the nutritional value due to the processing. Surimi production successfully removed a protein band of 10-–13 kDa, which is suspected to be an allergen. Additionally, both deep and air frying methods effectively removed allergenic proteins with molecular weights above 100 kDa. Immunoblotting assay showed the allergen only appeared in fish meat absent in all of the processed products. The allergenicity rates of surimi and otak-otak was reduced by 90.78 and 98.68%, respectively, as compared to the fish meat. In conclusion, the nutritional value of air-fried otak-otak is superior while the allergenicity is lower than the deep-fried ones. Therefore, air frying processing method for tenggiri fish can be potently used to produce hypoallergenic fish products.

Published: December 2023

The study aimed to explore the role of social support, coping strategies in fostering positive growth among Turkish women with breast cancer, utilizing a cross-sectional design. Involving 188 women from three hospital centers in Türkiye the research employed standardized measures such as The Ways of Coping Inventory and the Stress Related Growth Scale, alongside collecting socio-demographic and medical information. The results revealed significant positive correlations between social support, problem-solving, religious coping, and seeking social support coping strategies with positive growth (ps < 0.05). Conversely, helplessness coping strategies were inversely correlated with positive growth (ps < 0.05). Furthermore, multivariate analysis indicated that 61.2% of the positive growth score could be attributed to variables such as the stage of cancer, marital status, social support, problem-solving coping, and religious coping. The perceived availability of emotional support, particularly in the context of benefit finding, plays a crucial role in the patients' emotional adjustment. Conclusively, the findings suggest that enhancing social support, problem-solving, and religious coping could significantly improve the outcomes for Turkish women dealing with breast cancer. This research underscores the need for improvements in healthcare policies, support systems, and educational programs, proposing that such interventions should be integrated into healthcare services to effectively contribute to the positive growth of breast cancer patients.
