Background and Study Aim.  It can be said that recently, with the popularity of women's football and playing at a professional level, physical and physiological needs have increased. In this context, this study was conducted to examine the relationship between isokinetic lower extremity strength and vertical jump parameters in elite female football players.
Material and Methods. The model of the research was the relational survey model, one of the survey models. The research group consisted of 26 volunteer professional female football players competing at the Turkish women's super league level. The maximum strength of the knee extensor and flexor muscles of female soccer players was measured using an isokinetic dynamometer device (Cybex NORM®, Humac, CA, USA) that allows the recording of instant isokinetic torque. The vertical jump test data of the female football players were determined with the Fusion Sport-Smart Jump brand jump mat. While SPSS 25.0 package program was used for statistical analysis evaluation, correlation analysis was applied to compare the relationship between isokinetic lower extremity strength and vertical jump parameter.
Results. When the participants' vertical jump, right knee flexion and extension degrees were examined, a moderate positive correlation was found between the vertical jump parameter and the 240s Flexion Right %Body Weight values, and no relationship was found between the other parameters and the vertical jump. A moderate positive correlation was detected between the vertical jump parameter and 240s Flexion Left %Body Weight. Another moderate positive correlation was found between the vertical jump parameter and 240s Extension Left %Body Weight values. At the same time, no relation was found between other parameters and vertical jumps.
Conclusions. As a result, when the study results were evaluated, a positive relationship was determined between vertical jump and right knee flexion parameters and similarly left knee flexion-extension parameters. Based on this situation, it was concluded that the contraction levels of the lower extremity strength, which plays an important role in determining the performance in the football branch, contribute positively to the jump performance.

This article is concerned with the in situ negotiation of epistemic primacy in the context of medical emergencies. It investigates the mobilisation of questions and positioning in the material space as mechanisms for claiming control and for co-constructing epistemic authority. We bring together two high-risk, high-pressure emergency contexts – obstetrics and major trauma – and show the patterns that emerged from a bottom-up interactional sociolinguistic analysis of the data. We draw on a corpus of approximately 400 questions from a sample of ten teams; we zoom in on the role of the institutionally defined team leader, while special attention is also paid to the ways in which institutional power asymmetries are negotiated across the team in leadership enactment. We discuss the typology of questions that emerged from our data on a spectrum from a not knowing (K?) to a knowing (K+) status. Our analysis demonstrates consistent patterns in displays of epistemic primacy, with team leaders raising most of the questions indicating a K+ status across contexts. Further, we show that verbal claims of epistemic primacy are conditioned upon team leaders’ positioning at specific material zones of the emergency room as an integral part of doing their role.

Published: June 2023

The National Agency for Language Development and Cultivation (henceforth, Badan Bahasa) has published many dictionaries as a government agency under the Ministry of Education and Culture of Indonesia. More than 100 dictionaries have been published since 1977. Some dictionaries have been revised by adding new entries and senses. In alignment with technological developments, Badan Bahasa has started an integration project that aims to provide an online application for their language products. In 2015, it started Program Pengayaan Kosakata (Word proposal application program), and this was followed by the launch of the online version of the Kamus Besar Bahasa Indonesia (KBBI; Comprehensive dictionary of Indonesian), Tesaurus Tematis Bahasa Indonesia (Thematic thesaurus of Indonesian), and Ensiklopedia Sastra Indonesia (Encyclopedia of Indonesian literature) in 2016. In 2020, Badan Bahasa started the development of Aplikasi Pangkalan Data Kamus, also called Aplikasi Kompilasi Kamus (AKK; Dictionary compilation application). This online application accommodates at least three kinds of dictionary – a local language dictionary, specialized dictionary, and bilingual dictionary – published by Badan Bahasa. The process has continued by developing a digitalization project targeting the digitalization of print versions of specialized dictionaries, Indonesian-local language dictionaries, and local language-Indonesian dictionaries. This article aims to discuss some challenges regarding the digitalization of dictionaries arising from the print versions, the dictionary structure, and the dictionary interface, and puts forward some solutions to deal with the issues. The research method uses qualitative methods for observing dictionary files and examining microstructure issues throughout the whole process. The results of this study are expected to support the digitalization process and dictionary development in Indonesia.

Introduction and aim. Photodynamic therapy with hypericin (HYP-PDT) is gaining importance as a potential treatment method for malignant neoplasms. The following study investigated whether HYP-PDT influences the secretion of certain factors of colon cancer cells in vitro. Material and methods. Two colon cancer cell lines were used in this experiment: SW480 and SW620. The cells were properly prepared and then treated with photodynamic therapy with hypericin at concentrations of 0.25 μM and 0.5 μM and irradiation at the doses of 1 J/cm 2 , 5 J/cm 2 and 10 J/cm 2 . After using HYP-PDT, changes in the concentrations of four factors: GM-CSF, MIF, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 were analyzed in the test tubes. Results. In the case of SW480 cells: a notable decrease in GM-CSF, MIF, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 secretion was noted after HYP-PDT. In the case of SW620 cells, after HYP-PDT: no effect on GM-CSF secretion was noted; it inhibited the secretion of VCAM-1 and MIF and increased the secretion of ICAM-1. Conclusion. Photodynamic therapy with hypericin shows immunomodulatory potential in an in vitro cell line experiments. This may indicate its possible ability to modify the course of malignant tumors and therefore requires further research.

Introduction and aim. Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a grave gastrointestinal disease of preterm infants which is widely prevalent in the neonatal intensive care units. Current treatment options are very limited with high mortality and morbidity. With no disease specific interventions, understanding nascent cellular events that occur immediately after microbial insult can offer insights for devising novel treatment options for curtailing the disease progression in NEC. In this regard, intestinal cell death in NEC is a primordial cell-signaling event and is regarded as a harbinger of future pathological derangements such as increased intestinal permeability, intestinal dys-homeostasis, and systemic inflammation. Material and methods. We performed PubMed search of relevant articles that describes the host response to intestinal cell death in NEC by cellular battalion including dendritic cells, lymphocytes, neutrophils and macrophages which are important in containing intestinal inflammation. Analysis of the literature. We particularly focused this review on enumerating macrophage efferocytosis, and pertinent novel treatment modalities based on this physiological process that has inherent capability for down regulating inflammation and promoting tissue repair in NEC. We highlighted its mechanistic aspect including mediators, receptors and signaling mechanisms and its physiological significance. Conclusion. Macrophage efferocytosis is an overlooked and undervalued physiological defense mechanism to clear the dying intestinal epithelial cells for facilitating tissue healing and restoring the intestinal homeostasis. Any impairment of this critical defense mechanism can result in rapid clinical progression and systemic complications. Understanding its importance in the pathogenesis of NEC is important for designing novel therapeutic interventions to attenuate disease progression.

Introduction and aim. Stored erythrocytes develop lesions involving changes in their structure and function reducing their efficacy. Oxidative Stress (OS) being one of the main causes of storage lesion, can be attenuated by antioxidants as additives in the storage solution. This study aims to evaluate the effect of p-Coumaric acid (CA) on erythrocytes during whole blood storage. Material and methods. Blood collected from Male Wistar rats was stored at 4°C in CPDA-1 solution for 21 days. Blood samples were stored with and without 1mM CA (CA 1) and 10 mM CA (CA 10). The erythrocytes were isolated every week during storage and the biomarkers for OS and antioxidant status were analysed. Results. Superoxide dismutase and catalase elevated on day 14. Conjugate dienes decreased in CA 10 on day 14. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances increased on day 7 and decreased on day 14 in CA groups. Protein sulfhydryls decreased in controls and CA 1 on day 14 whereas, it was maintained in CA 10. Conclusion. Coumaric acid upregulated the antioxidant enzymes and protected the cells from oxidative damage. Thus, coumaric acid can be employed as a potent additive during storage and opens new avenues of employing it in similar OS situations in erythrocytes.

Introduction and aim. The use of carbon nanodots (C-nanodots) synthesized from Kamias leaves for developing antibacterial wound dressings has gained attention due to their potential in promoting wound healing and contraction. To extract Kamias leaves, synthesize C-nanodots through microwave-assisted pyrolysis, characterize the synthesized C-nanodots, and test the polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogel infused with C-nanodots for antibacterial activity and wound contraction in Sprague Dawley rats. Material and methods. Kamias leaves extract was used to synthesize C-nanodots with varying amounts of monoethanolamine. The C-nanodots were characterized using UV-Vis spectrophotometer, electron microscope, and the paper disk method. The PVA hydrogel infused with C-nanodots was tested for antibacterial activity and wound contraction in Sprague Dawley rats. Results. The synthesized C-nanodots exhibited antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus and Subtilis bacillus, with a zone of inhibition ranging from 15 mm to 23.6 mm at different concentrations. The carbon nanodots-PVA hydrogel patch showed potential wound healing ability, with significant differences in wound contraction compared to the positive and negative controls. Conclusion. C-nanodots synthesized from Kamias extract have potential applications in antibacterial and wound healing fields. However, further studies are required to investigate the mechanism of action and potential side effects of using carbon nanodots in these applications.

Introduction and aim. There is evidence in the literature about a change in the effectiveness of inhibitors of the renin-angiotensin system (iRAS) in people with COVID-19. Considering different mechanisms of pressure reduction by different iRAS groups, one can expect differences in people with COVID-19 receiving these drugs. The aim of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEi), angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARB) and direct renin inhibitors (DRi) usage in COVID-19 (BIRCOV study) was to pinpoint clinical and laboratory differences in people with hypertension who received iRAS and suffered coronavirus infection. Material and methods. An open prospective trial of 108 patients was performed in subjects suffering from COVID-19 who have been receiving iRAS: ACEi, ARB or DRi as basic antihypertensive therapy. The disease follow-up was 12 and 24 weeks. A blood pressure (BP) measurement was performed the week before COVID-19 and up to 24 weeks from the disease onset. Subanalysis in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) was performed. Results. In patients with COVID-19, a change in the effectiveness of antihypertensive therapy depending on the type of drug in the iRAS group has been documented in the first 4 weeks from the onset of the disease. The use of ACEi had significantly increased the risk of severe hypotension, unlike ARBs that do not cause hypotension. The synchronous decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and systolic BP was more pronounced in CKD patients followed by albuminuria incidence. The greatest decrease in eGFR was in people taking ACEi. Conclusion. People with grade 1-2 hypertension who are constantly receiving RAS inhibitors suffering from COVID-19 may develop hypotension with ACEi. COVID-19 leads to transient albuminuria and decreased glomerular filtration rate, which is especially dangerous for people with CKD 4-5.

Introduction and aim. We aimed to evaluate the usefulness of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI semiquantitative analysis values in focal liver lesions (FLL) to provide additional qualities that can be used in daily practice in the differential diagnosis of lesions. Material and methods. This retrospective study included 91 patients with liver masses on DCE-MRI. The sensitivity and specificity of time intensity curves (TIC) and semiquantitative analysis values were evaluated to differentiate benign and malignant lesions. Results. The study included 91 patients (376 lesions), aged between 28-81 years. Of the lesions, 303 were malignant and 73 were benign. In TIC semiquantitative analysis, it was found that “Tpeak” and “wash-out” rate values showed differences, especially in the differentiation of HCC, metastasis, and hemangioma. Area under curve, maximum relative enhancement, and “wash-in” and “wash-out” values of metastases and hemangiomas were different. Brevity of enhancement values of HSK, hemangiomas, and metastases were found to be different. The risk of malignancy was found to be high when the “wash-out” ratio was above 0.08 (sensitivity: 64.3%, specificity: 70.4%). Conclusion. We think that the 0.08 threshold value we found for the washout ratio with DCE-MRI semiquantitative analysis data will be useful in daily practice in the differentiation of malignant and benign FLL.

THE PROBLEM OF ASSESSING THE BAKING QUALITY OF WHEAT WITH GENETICALLY DIFFERENT ALLELES OF STORAGE PROTEINS
Authors: Toporash I. , Chervonis M. , Voloshenko O.
Published: June 2023

The article is devoted to the study of the wheat samples of the 3rd classwith the same quality indicators according to DSTU 3768, but had different baking properties. In particular, the “strength” of flour (W) significantly differed. The quantitative and qualitative state of the gluten-protein complex is significant factor for obtaining grain and flour of high baking quality. But only the quality indicators of red winter wheat according to DSTU 3768 - protein content, amount and quality of gluten cannot objectively characterize the baking quality of a specific batch of grain. For the main indications of the Ukrainian standard for wheat, all batches of wheat are practically identical. Foreign buyers do not use our Ukrainian standards, they give precedence to international methods and one of the most integral of them is the “strength” (W). The method demonstrates the main characteristics of the physical properties of wheat dough, which maybe especially important during bread making: elasticity (P), extensibility (L) and alveogram configuration coefficient (P/L). It has been established that the reason is the difference in the genetically determined alleles of the storage proteins of the studied samples. In the last years "filler" and "weak" varieties of wheat of domestic and foreign selection have appeared in Ukraine. In the conditions of replacing traditionally grown varieties of "strong" wheat in Ukraine with new high-yielding varieties of domestic and foreign breeding, it is not enough to determine the parameters recorded in DSTU 3768 to determine the baking quality, it is necessary to introduce new, more objective research methods. It is concluded that for an objective assessment of the baking properties of wheat, international standards ISO 27971, ISO 21415, ISO 5529 should be used.

Published: June 2023

Due to the rapid growth of the population and the growing consumption of meat products, the issue of finding alternative sources of animal protein in feed production is more acute than ever. Insects are a promising protein component in feed production today. The article examines the state and prospects for the use of insects that have a high nutritional value, consume less resources and are environmentally friendly. The volumes of protein production obtained from fly larvae, flour worms and other insect species are given. The distribution of the use of insects for different types of animal husbandry, poultry farming and aquaculture in recent years is given. The main world leaders companies engaged in the cultivation of larvae and breeding of worms are presented. A comparative analysis of the content of crude protein and fat in various types of insects and traditional protein sources such as fish and soy meal is presented. A literature review of the results of the use of insects in the feeding of pigs and poultry by the world's leading scientists is presented. Insect-based animal feeds have been shown to have advantages over grain-based feeds. Test results are shown showing that crickets, black soldier flies and worms have the same protein digestibility as soy and provide more lipids, vitamins and minerals. The inclusion of insects in compound feed is one of the strategies for finding alternatives to create conditions for animal feeding that would be consistent with the concept of sustainable development. Data from a study on the effect of insects on egg production is also presented, which showed that yolk color, shell tear strength, and shell thickness were significantly increased by the addition of black soldier fly larvae. The results of studies on the use of insects in feeding fish are analyzed. The use of protein-chitin concentrate of Hermetia illucens larvae in feeding tilapia showed that it almost completely corresponds to fishmeal in terms of nutritional value.

The purpose of this study is to explore successful operation plans for the high school credit system for students with special needs in general schools. For this purpose, a focus group interview (FGI) was conducted targeting experts who have experience in researching the high school credit system and operating the pilot schools for the high school credit system. A total of eight experts participated in the online FGI meeting, and the collected data was analyzed based on a three-step coding process. As for the main results, first, it was necessary to clarify the directions in operating a high school credit system for students with special needs with an emphasis on inclusive education, and to design a balanced curriculum by expanding the scope of the role of special education. Second-in order to secure appropriate evaluation methods for students with special needs in general education settings-it was necessary to come to an agreement on applying different criteria for course completion, solve pending issues related to evaluation, and enhance teachers’ professionalism. Third, the need to improve various conditions was emphasized-such as supply and demand of teachers, utilization of resources outside school, and course opening for inclusive education in order to effectively operate the high school credit system. Fourth, it was needed to match both students’ educational needs and curriculum characteristics of high schools. Teachers need to provide students with career and academic guidance based on types within students’ career. Based on these results, implications such as the organization and operation of school curriculums aimed at inclusive education, the advancement for students’ evaluation, and the preparation in teachers’ guidance for career and academic design were discussed.

Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study was to both classify the types of vocational transition competencies of high school students with developmental disabilities, and identify the characteristics of each profile. To this end, using the data collected during the primary survey of the transition competency assessment, a latent profile analysis on vocational transition competency was conducted using data from 900 high school students with developmental disabilities across the country. As a result, the latent profiles for vocational transition competency were divided into five types: ‘independent daily living transition group’, ‘work activity transition group’, ‘sheltered employment transition group’, ‘supported employment transition group’, and ‘competitive employment transition group’. Each profile was similar to the degree of overall support, extended support, limited support, and intermittent support; this is according to the support scale of the transition competency assessment in terms of vocational transition competency, and was shown in a graph in the form of not crossing each other. Furthermore, looking at the characteristics of each variable in each profile, the ratio of students placed in special classes was higher than that of special schools, and the percentage of students with intellectual disabilities was higher than that of autism in the ‘supported employment transition group’ and ‘competitive employment transition group.’ Based on these research results, the need for transition goals, as well as a curriculum suitable for the five latent profiles that exist in the special education field; the discovery of sub-areas of vocational transition competencies that require high support; and the need for educational support measures suitable for the type of placement and type of disability were all discussed. Futhermore future follow-up studies were presented.

Published: June 2023

The purpose of this study is to develop a STEAM-based economic education program that supports the self-reliance of students with disabilities after graduation. To achieve this, a content system for this program was devised through a Delphi survey run by experts; furthermore, the validity was verified by developing an implementation program. In this study, the draft based on previous research was revised and supplemented through interviews with advisory experts in special education, STEAM education, and economic education to form structured questionnaire items. The specific research results are as follows. First, the content system of the STEAM-based economics education program was structured through expert interviews, and the draft of the content dealt with in economics education for general students was structured into 8 major areas, 27 sub areas, and 51 content elements, and a Delphi survey was conducted. Second, through the Delphi survey, it was found that 6 major areas, 17 sub areas, and 34 content elements were appropriate. Third, the preliminary validity of the final program of STEAM-based economic education was verified for 7 students with disabilities in the special class of elementary school, and a positive effect was found. The results were discussed, and the necessity of establishing infrastructure for the implementation of STEAM-based economics education programs was suggested.
Enflasyon Bekleyişlerinin Oluşumu: Davranışsal İktisat Açısından Bir Analiz
Authors: YILDIRIM Salih , BASILGAN Müslüm
Published: June 2023

Enflasyon bekleyişleri gerçek enflasyonun önemli bir belirleyicisi olduğundan para politikasının yürütülmesinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Merkez bankaları, iktisadi birimlerin enflasyon bekleyişlerini kontrol ederek enflasyon hedefiyle uyumlu olması için çabalamaktadır. Bu uyumun gerçekleşmesi durumunda merkez bankaları enflasyondaki dalgalanmaları daha rahat yönetebilme olanağına sahip olmakta ve enflasyonu kontrol etmede daha başarılı sonuçlar elde etmektedirler. Enflasyon bekleyişleriyle ilgili olarak ana akım iktisatta temel paradigma rasyonel bekleyişler hipotezidir. Bu hipoteze göre iktisadi birimler var olan tüm bilgiden yararlanarak bekleyişlerini oluşturmakta ve enflasyon konusunda optimal tahminlerde bulunmaktadırlar. Rasyonel bekleyişlere dayalı olarak enflasyon tahminleri yapılırken üstelik bilginin homojen dağıldığı ve bu bilgiyi sınırlayan psikolojik faktörlerin de aynı olduğu kabul edilmektedir. Fakat davranışsal iktisat alanında yapılan çalışmalar, enflasyon tahminlerini çevreleyen eksik bilginin ve belirsizliğin önemini ve enflasyon konusunda tutulan inançların zamanla değişebilmesini, dolayısıyla heterojenliği, temel alarak rasyonel bekleyişler hipotezine eleştiriler getirmişlerdir. Bu eleştirilerin sonucunda enflasyon bekleyişlerinin oluşumunu açıklamada alternatif davranışsal yaklaşımlar geliştirilmiştir. Bu yaklaşımların en önemlileri yapışkan bilgi modeli, rasyonel dikkatsizlik yaklaşımı, epidemiyolojik bekleyişler modeli ve Bayesyen öğrenme modelidir. Bu kapsamda çalışmanın temel amacı teorik ve ampirik literatür temelinde enflasyon bekleyişlerinin gerçek yaşamda, rasyonel bekleyişlerden farklı olarak, nasıl oluştuğunu davranışsal iktisat bağlamında ortaya koymaktır. Çalışmada enflasyon bekleyişlerinin, bireysel davranışlardaki heterojenliğin sonucu olarak, rasyonel bekleyişler hipotezine aykırı biçimde oluştuğu, davranışsal iktisadın enflasyon bekleyişlerinin oluşumunu farklı psikolojik yaklaşımlar ile açıklayarak merkez bankalarına hem fiyat istikrarını sağlamada hem de etkin bir para politikası izlemede önemli bir katkı sağladığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışma enflasyon bekleyişlerini rasyonel bekleyişler yaklaşımına göre açıklayan modellerdeki eksikliği ortaya koyarak bu eksikliği gidermede davranışsal yaklaşımların önemini ortaya koymuştur.
Mağcan Cumabayulı'nın Üç Şiirinde Doğu-Batı Sembolü
Authors: BACAKLI Yılmaz
Published: June 2023

Şiirler, içerisinde doğdukları dönemin düşünce ve duygu dünyasından ‘edebî akım’lar marifetiyle etkilenir. Şiirin hem içeriğini hem tekniğini etkileyen akımlardan biri olan sembolizm XIX. asrın sonunda Avrupa’da ortaya çıkar. Bu akımın ortaya çıkışı hisleri yok sayan ve insanı meta noktasına indirgeyen realizme bir tepki olarak değerlendirilebilir.
Modern Kazak edebiyatının kurucularından Mağcan Cumabayulı Rus edebiyatı üzerinden tanıdığı sembolizm akımını şiirlerinde yaygın olarak kullanır. Rus sembolistlerinden etkilenen Cumabayulı, sembolizmi gerçeğe sırtını dönmek için kullanmaz. Bu edebî akım onda kuru bir taklit seviyesinde kalmaz. Şair, sembolizme Kazak edebiyatının karakterine uygun özgün bir hâl kazandırarak gelecek nesillere model olur. Zengin telkin ve çağrışım imkânlarıyla semboller, onun şiirinde gerçeğin okuyucu tarafından tüm boyutlarıyla hissedilmesini sağlar.
Şairin ‘Ot/Ateş, Payğambar/Peygamber, Künşığıs/Doğu’ başlıklı şiirlerinin merkezinde yer alan ‘Doğu’ sadece bir yön adı olarak kullanılmaz. Bu kavram, şair tarafından özgün bir içerikle yeniden inşa edilerek sembolleştirilir. Doğu; şiirlerde kişileştirilerek bir tutumun, duruşun, kültürün, düşüncenin temsilcisi hâline getirilir. Şiirlerde Batı ile temsil edilen ve dünyayı kana bulayan kötülük odaklarına karşılık Doğu, bu kötülük odaklarının bile iyiliği için çaba gösteren bir kültüre sahiptir. Bu kültürün sahipleri, yaşadıkları ataletin sonrasında yeniden dünyaya hizmet etmek için bir merhamet ve aydınlık mücadelesine girişir.
Mağcan, dünyayı kasıp kavuran sömürgeci anlayışı Batı sembolü ile gözler önüne sererken çarenin de tarihi ve kültürü bakımından zulüm ve sömürüye hiç tevessül etmeyen Doğu’da olduğuna işaret eder. Onun şiirlerinde Doğu ile kastedilen yeni kültür coğrafyası daha çok Türk coğrafyasıdır. Tekniği ve içeriği yönüyle Kazak şiirinin modern örneklerinden biri olan üç şiirinde şair, çevresinde olup bitenlere karşı insanî ve millî bir tutum içerisindedir.
