Bitkilər həyatımızı davam etdirmək üçün bizi lazım olan oksigen və qidalarla təmin edir, sağlamlığımızı qoruyur. Fotosintez prosesində istehsal etdikləri oksigenlə tənəffüsümüzü təmin etməklə yanaşı, öz qiymətli tərkibləri ilə sağlam böyüyüb inkişaf etməyimizdə də bitkilərin rolu danılmazdır. Lakin bütün bitkilər də yeməli deyil. 250.000 çiçəkli bitki növündən azı 5000-dən müntəzəm olaraq qida kimi istifadə olunur. Bu gün dünya qidasının təqribən 90%-ni təmin edən bitkilərin əksəriyyəti yabanı bitkilərin becərilməsi nəticəsində yaranmışdır. Tibb Elmləri Akademiyasının Qidalanma İnstitutunun məlumatına görə, bir insana ildə təxminən 164 kq tərəvəz və bostan məhsulları, o cümlədən 20 kq-a yaxın ədviyyat və yaşıl bitkilər istehlak etmək tövsiyə olunur.

By ensuring our respiration with the oxygen they produce in the process of photosynthesis the role of plants in making us grow and develop healthy with their beauiful and valuable ingredients is undeniable. But not all plants are edible. Of the 250,000 species of flowering plants, less than 5000 are regulary used as food. Today, most of the plants that supply nearly 90% of the world,s food are caused by the cultivation of wild plants. According to the Nutrition Institute of the Academy of Medical Sciences, it is recommended to consume about 164 kg of vegetables, and melon products per person per year, including about 20 kg of spices and green plants. The role of plants based foods in a child’s diet is irreplaceable. Keywords: plants foods child, growth, development, healthy, nutrition

Authors: Berger Maiko
Published: August 2022

This paper is based on a forum presentation that showcased independent learning in a university English program, language learning strategies (LLS) database development, and an opinion survey of database users. Studies have shown that successful Japanese English learners utilize a variety of LLS. One of the main learning goals of the English program is to foster students’ ability to set and achieve goals for their English study, including the creation and implementation of personalized independent learning (IL) plans. To assist students in developing autonomous learning skills, the authors aimed to identify effective LLS for a range of English goals and make them available for students to choose from through an online database. Results from a survey (n=73) indicated that students found the website easy to use and beneficial for their independent learning. Finally, the authors share the implications of this project and future directions for cultivating autonomous learners.

Student Writings with DeepL: Teacher Evaluations and Implications for Teaching
Authors: Birdsell Brian
Published: August 2022

Technological changes have the power to disrupt standard educational practices. One recent advancement is neural machine translation (NMT) systems such as Google Translate and DeepL which due to their widespread use have already impacted foreign language education. To explore the effect of NMTs on student essay writing and teachers’ evaluation of it, a small-scale study was conducted in which students were divided into two groups, one group used the NMT DeepL and the other did not. English teachers assessed these essays by evaluating them using a standard rubric and then judging whether they believed NMT was used. Results from a Mann-Whitney U Test indicate that teachers tend to evaluate essays that used NMT higher than those that did not and they can accurately judge whether NMT was used. Implications of this study are discussed as well as possible ways to effectively use NMT in the writing classroom. As technology continues to improve, foreign language education also has to evolve with these changes.

テクノロジーの変化は、標準的な教育の実践を混乱させる力を持っている。最近の進歩としては、ニューラル機械翻訳（NMT）システムの普及が外国語教育にも影響を与えている。学生と教師双方へのNMTの影響を理解するために、2つのグループの学生を対象に、一方のグループはNMTを使用し、もう一方のグループは使用しないでエッセイを書くという研究を行った。英語教師はこれらのエッセイを標準的なルーブリックで評価し、NMTが使用されているかどうかを判断した。Mann-Whitney U Testの結果から、教師はNMTを使ったエッセイをそうでないエッセイよりも高く評価する傾向があり、NMTを使って書いたかどうかを正確に判断できることが示唆された。本研究の意義は、ライティングの授業でNMTを効果的に使用する方法を議論することにある。テクノロジーが進化し続ける中、外国語教育もその変化に合わせて進化していかなければならない。
Merits and Drawbacks of Synchronous and Asynchronous L2 German Instruction
Authors: Harting Alex
Published: August 2022

This paper investigates the merits and drawbacks of synchronous and asynchronous L2 teaching approaches based on a case study of L2 German learners (CEFR A1 to B1) in Japan during the Coronavirus pandemic. To examine the benefits and difficulties of these two instruction types, a survey was carried out with students instructed with prerecorded videos and students taught with the live streaming app Zoom (n=78). The survey results indicate that students taught with Zoom reported having more opportunities to use the L2 with the teacher or among each other, enabling them to ask questions and to get instantaneous feedback. Students taught with videos, on the other hand, reported enjoying more flexibility in accessing and digesting the teaching contents at their own pace. In order to provide L2 German instruction that meets the needs of different types of learners, it is argued that a combination of both types of teaching approaches is most effective.
本稿では、コロナ禍におけるドイツ語学習者（CEFR A1～B1）に対するライブ型とオンデマンド型授業のメリットとデメリットを調査し、それぞれのアプローチにおける利点と欠点について学生にアンケート調査を実施した(n=78)。調査の対象としたのはZoomライブ型授業を受講した学生グループと、ビデオオンデマンド型授業を受講した学生グループである。Zoomによる授業を受講した学生は、実際にドイツ語を使用してコミュニケーションをとる機会を得やすく、また質問をしたり、フィードバックを受けたりもしやすかった。オンデマンドでの授業を受講した学生は、それぞれ自分のタイミングで授業を受けたり、自分のペースでビデオを見たりすることができた。学習者にはそれぞれに合う学習スタイルがあるため、ライブ型とオンデマンド型両方のアプローチを取り入れた授業設計が望ましい。

Introduction. Circulating platelets play an essential role in the immune system and furthermore in tumor development and proliferation. Therefore, the correlation between different neoplasia and the number of platelets has been widely studied. The aim of the current paper is to investigate the correlation ship between platelet number and tumoral endometrial transformation. Material and methods. Between January 2022 and June 2022 22 patients with endometrial hyperplasia or endometrial cancer were submitted to surgery. The serum levels of platelets were determined and compared to those reported in a similar group of patients in whom the endometrial lining was normal. Results. Patients diagnosed with endometrial cancer presented a significantly higher number of platelets as well as a significantly higher platelet volume when compared to patients diagnosed with endometrial hyperplasia and respectively to those in whom a normal endometrial lining was found. Conclusions. The serum number of platelets and their volume seem to be positively correlated with the aggressivity of the tumoral transformation of the endometrial lining and should be therefore considered as part of the elements which should be analyzed when discussing the best therapeutic option in such patients.

The next frontier of combating drug addiction in America
Authors: Korponay Cole
Published: August 2022

While pre-COVID-19 data indicated that the massive public health effort to fight the opioid epidemic was beginning to gain ground, the record-breaking surge of overdose deaths during the pandemic revealed that the underlying state of our addiction prevention and care system remains insufficient. This reality has demanded a rethinking of approaches – both policy-based and scientific – to accelerate the reversal of the crisis. Evolving harm reduction policies based in a greater appreciation for the neuroscience of addiction represent a positive shift in our approach to addressing addiction. Yet, there is still much opportunity for improvement, especially in expanding the use of medication assisted treatment (MAT) to treat opioid addiction. Moreover, emerging neuroscience research may offer new paths to treatment and prevention. Collectively, these efforts have the potential to significantly tip the balance in the battle against drug addiction in America.
Turbulence and Accretion: A High-resolution Study of the B5 Filaments
Authors: Chen Michael Chun-Yuan , Di Francesco James , Pineda Jaime E. , Offner Stella S. R. , Friesen Rachel K.
Published: August 2022

High-resolution observations of the Perseus B5 “core” have previously revealed that this subsonic region actually consists of several filaments that are likely in the process of forming a quadruple stellar system. Since subsonic filaments are thought to be produced at the ∼0.1 pc sonic scale by turbulent compression, a detailed kinematic study is crucial to test such a scenario in the context of core and star formation. Here we present a detailed kinematic follow-up study of the B5 filaments at a 0.009 pc resolution using the VLA and GBT combined observations fitted with multicomponent spectral models. Using precisely identified filament spines, we find a remarkable resemblance between the averaged width profiles of each filament and Plummer-like functions, with filaments possessing FWHM widths of ∼0.03 pc. The velocity dispersion profiles of the filaments also show decreasing trends toward the filament spines. Moreover, the velocity gradient field in B5 appears to be locally well ordered (∼0.04 pc) but globally complex, with kinematic behaviors suggestive of inhomogeneous turbulent accretion onto filaments and longitudinal flows toward a local overdensity along one of the filaments.

Authors: Mahran Ahmed , Refai Wael Mohamed Mobarak , Abdelhameed Ahmed Nasef , Hashem Ahmed Shawky
Published: August 2022

Introduction: Indirect bonding is a technique in which orthodontic attachments are transferred from dental casts (working models) and bonded onto dentition using a transfer tray. Indirect bonding is a preferred technique for many orthodontists as it is less time consuming compared to direct bonding. Evolution in technology allowed forming transfer trays digitally by the integration of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM). This study was conducted to measure transfer accuracy of CAD/CAM indirect three dimensional printed bonding trays. Materials and methods: 140 teeth (all upper and lower incisors, canines and premolars) in 7 patients were bonded by vacuum-formed transfer tray formed on 3 dimensional (3D) printed models with resin brackets. Intra oral scanner was used initially to obtain stereolithographic file for virtual brackets positioning and another scan was taken after brackets bonding.   Superimposition of virtual STL files and post bonding STL files was done by Geomagic Qualify software to measure linear and angular deviation of brackets positions. Results: One sample t-test was performed to determine whether the mean transfer error was statistically within the selected acceptable limits of 0.5 mm for linear measurements. P-values of less than 0.05 indicated differences within the limits of 0.5 mm for linear measurements. All brackets were transferred within the accepted deviation limits Conclusions: CAD/CAM designed and printed transfer trays had high transfer accuracy in linear measurements in all teeth.

Authors: Akrom Akrom , Hidayati Titiek , Bintarum Prsasti , Setyanto Arif Budi
Published: August 2022

BACKGROUND: The number of smokers in rural Indonesia is alarming. Overweight and smoking are the risk factor for hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and cancer. Cigarette smoke and overweight elevated oxidative stress and affected the blood pressure and inflammation response. However, the relationship between blood pressure and the response to inflammation in overweight-healthy smokers was unclear.

AIM: We have conducted a preliminary study to determine the difference in blood pressure and inflammatory parameters on overweight and non-overweight in healthy smokers.

METHODS: We have conducted a study with a cross-sectional design. Thirty-seven healthy smokers are the number of subjects who participated in our study; 20 were overweight, and the other 17 subjects were non-overweight. The smokers consumed 5–12 cigarettes/day regularly for at least 5 years. Furthermore, smokers were diagnosed in healthy condition by the doctor in the primary health care. Blood was drawn from the cubital vein by professionals. Hematology and inflammatory parameters were examined using a hematology analyzer and an ELISA method. We used the t-test to determine the mean difference in parameters between groups.

RESULTS: The study of 37 healthy volunteers who smoked showed that overweight status had higher blood pressure and IL-1 levels than the non-overweight. There was a difference in mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure and IL-1 levels between the overweight and non-overweight groups (p < 0.05). The overweight status was in accordance with the mean of BMI and body weight (p < 0.05). There were no differences in cholesterol, triglyceride levels and hemogram profiles, and other cytokines between the two groups (p > 0.05).

CONCLUSION: We concluded that the overweight group had higher blood pressure and IL-1 levels than the non-overweight group of healthy smokers.

Baby massage is a gentle massage for infants aged 0-3 months that is believed to improve the baby's body length. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of baby massage on the increase in body length and weight of infants aged 0-3 months. This type of research was quasi-experimental. The samples were mothers and infants 0-3 months, divided into the treatment and control groups. The number of samples for each group was 35 respondents. Baby massage was carried out by the mother twice a day, in the morning and evening after bathing, for one month. The enumerators collected data on length and weight before and after 1 month in both groups and statistically tested by unpaired t-test. The reduction in stunting prevalence in the treatment group was 22.8%, while the control group was 8.6%. The prevalence of underweight in the treatment group did not significantly change (2.9%), while the control group experienced an increase of 11.7%. The increase in body length of the treatment group was 4.49 cm, and the control group was 3.23 cm; the baby massage significantly affected body length for infants 0-3 months (ρ=0.000). The average weight gain of infants in the treatment group was 825.7 g, and the control group was 702.9 g; the baby massage was not significantly affected the body weight (ρ=0.224). Thus, the baby massage can be an alternative in boosting the length and weight of babies aged 0-3 months

BACKGROUND: Cervical cancer is the second-most common cancer in Indonesian women. While the cervical cancer screening has been integrated in Indonesian primary health-care facilities, the HPV vaccination has not yet become a national program.

AIM: The objective of this research was to measure the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of medical students in Jakarta toward cervical cancer and its prevention. The result of this study could be implemented to develop a more comprehensive national educational program and public health policy.

METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study on medical students at 10 different universities in Jakarta, Indonesia. Student’s knowledge, attitude, and behavior were collected through a self-administered online questionnaire consist of a total of 27 questions concerning cervical cancer epidemiology, pathogenesis, screening, diagnosis, and prevention.

RESULTS: A total of 2159 medical students participated in this study. More than half (55%) of the students obtained satisfactory knowledge score. The students’ knowledge regarding HPV vaccination was low. However, 87.2% of them agreed to get the HPV vaccination. Only 7.0% had participated in cervical cancer screening program and only 16.8% had received HPV vaccination. Female gender, second or third year of study, and three universities had better odds to have good practice score.

CONCLUSION: The knowledge and attitude score did not reflect on student’s practice on cervical cancer and its prevention. Effort to increase the awareness toward cervical cancer should be endorsed through university curriculum and public health policy.

Background: Novel Coronavirus Diseases 19 (COVID-19) pandemic brings significant effects on the life of peoplse, for example various educational activities which have been conducted in the school before the outbreak are now conducted in the family. This arises some problems which then become newly-emerging sources of stress.
Objective: This research aims at revealing the correlation between parent’s attachment and adolescent’s stress during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Method: This research uses quantitative methods with online surveys. The research population is adolescents in Indonesia, and the research samples consist of 10-21 years-old adolescents who live with their parents and are willing to be the respondents of this research with 392 respondents. The sampling method utilizes accidental sampling during four weeks. The data was quantitatively analyzed by involving univariate and bivariate analysis as well as linear regression.
Results: The results of the research showed that the normality test used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test on parental attachment and stress was normally distributed so that the linearity test was valid using the Test for Linearity. The test showed that adolescent's stress level depends on parental attachment with a negative correlation. The higher parent's attachment, the lower the adolescent's stress.
Conclusion: The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic could effect to increased psychiatric disorders such as post-traumatic stress, anxiety disorders, and depressive

BACKGROUND: Metal ions emitted from dental alloys may induce oxidative stress leading to numerous pathological changes. Lipid peroxidation may cause disturbance of structure and function of cell membranes, apoptosis, autophagy, and formation of potentially mutagenic compounds. Products of interaction between reactive oxygen species and biomolecules may be used for evaluation of oxidative stress level.

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the prosthetic dental treatment with metal ceramic restorations on the level of oxidative stress in the oral cavity.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Metal ceramic crowns with copings fabricated by direct metal laser sintering were produced for 35 patients. CoCr dental alloy EOS CobaltChrome SP2 (EOS) was used. Non-stimulated and stimulated saliva samples were collected from the patients before and after the prosthetic treatment. For evaluation of oxidative stress concentration of 8-isoPGF2-alpha was measured by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. For statistical processing, non-parametric Wilcoxon signed-rank test and Mann–Whitney test were applied.

RESULTS: The concentration of isoprostane 8-isoPGF2-alpha in non-stimulated saliva was lower 2 h after fixing the crowns compared to the initial level and statistically significant difference was observed. On the 7th day the concentration of isoprostanes remained significantly lower than the initial one. No significant differences were found in isoprostane concentration in stimulated saliva before and after prosthetic treatment.

CONCLUSION: Prosthetic dental treatment leads to decrease in oral oxidative stress.
Effect of a mixed-in crystallization inhibitor on the properties of hydraulic mortars
Authors: Kamat Ameya , Lubelli Barbara , Schlangen Erik
Published: August 2022

Porous building materials are often subjected to damage due to salt crystallization. In recent years, the addition of crystallization inhibitors in lime-based mortar, has shown promising results in improving durability of this material against salt decay. Lime-based mortars have low mechanical properties and slow setting. They are often replaced with hydraulic binders to overcome these limitations. However, the effect of crystallization inhibitors in mortars with hydraulic binders is still unknown. Incorporation of crystallization inhibitors in hydraulic mortars would widen the application field of this new technology. In this research, the possibility to develop hydraulic mortars with mixed-in sodium ferrocyanide, an inhibitor of sodium chloride crystallization, is explored. As an essential first step, the influence of this inhibitor addition on the properties of hydraulic mortars is investigated. Two common types of hydraulic binders, natural hydraulic lime (NHL) and ordinary Portland cement (CEM I), were studied; the inhibitor was added in different amounts (0%, 0.1% and 1% by binder weight) during mortar (and binder paste) preparation. Relevant mortar and binder paste properties, in fresh (hydration, workability, setting time) and hardened (mechanical strength, elastic modulus, pore size distribution, water absorption) state, were assessed using several complementary methods and techniques. The results indicate that the addition of ferrocyanide does not alter the studied properties of both NHL and CEMI-based mortar and binder pastes. These results are promising for the further development of hydraulic mortars with an improved durability with respect to salt decay.

This is the life story of the firstborn child of a young Puerto Rican couple who began their married life in Brooklyn, New York during the post-WWII years of the late 1940s. The child grew up in a home where two languages and cultures peacefully coexisted and provided the stage for successful bilingual development in Spanish and English. Over the years, her growing knowledge of these languages, their cultures, and far-reaching effects on the path to self-discovery and identity inculcated a deeply rooted love for both. The narrator shares many language and culturally enriching moments that took place at home, in church, in school, and in her social environment. In addition to narrating life story snapshots, the author includes poems she wrote that not only expand on the lived experiences, but also demonstrate the power of words during a quest for self-discovery.

The rapid growth in online purchases and product return pose challenges to the supply chain. The demography influences purchases. After an extensive literature review, the authors examine if the product return in online purchases depends on demographic factors and product categories. This online survey-based research analyzed the 619 responses and identifies that age, gender, profession, search intensity have a significant relationship with the return frequency. After using statistical analysis, findings suggest that the family income, payment method, purchase frequency, monthly spending do not have a significant influence on return frequency. Similarly, analysis indicated age, gender, profession, and search intensity to be significant. Textile and household goods showed a significant relationship with return frequency from the different categories. This research emphasizes the role of demography factors; however, online purchase and return is a complex process involving the role of product, retailer, website, and delivery.

Published: August 2022

This study investigates the impact of fear of COVID-19 on financial markets in the period 2020: Q2-2021: Q4 in Turkey. Exchange rate (USA Dollar) and BIST 100 (Borsa Istanbul) data were obtained from the Central Bank of Turkey Republic (TCMB); COVID-19 fear index data was obtained from Google Trends. This study applied the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) Unit Root Test and Phillips Perron (PP) Unit Root Test to examine the stationarity of the series. Then, the Frequency-Domain Causality Test was conducted to determine whether the effect of the fear index on the financial variables BIST 100 and the exchange rate is a temporary or permanent relationship and whether the causality relationship between the variables has short-, medium-, and long-term effects. Findings show that the fear caused by COVID-19 is the cause of BIST 100 in the medium and short terms. Also, it is seen that fear is the cause of the exchange rate variable in the short run. The results obtained in the study revealed that the fear of COVID-19 is temporary.
