FROM THE SOCIAL DILEMMA PERSPECTIVE: SOCIAL MEDIA FROM ANOTHER ANGLE
Authors: YILDIRIM Ahmet Faruk
Published: March 2023

Background: People live in social groups. Today, interaction and communication within social groups are mediated by technology. Today's individuals use social media intensively as a means of defining their lifestyles. Today, almost half of the world is on social media channels. Social media, which causes changes in communication and socialization patterns, has recently been discussed intensively with its positive and negative aspects and brings serious concerns about its negative aspects. At this point, it is important to evaluate how and in what way social media affects individuals and society as a whole. Objective: In the study, it is aimed to reveal the effect of social media, which is a dilemma in use, on the society, and to present an overview by discussing its benefits and harms. Method: Data were collected through interview and observation. The interviews were conducted in the form of face-to-face interviews with a semi-structured form prepared by the researcher. The participants of the research are 10 adults who are active social media users and participate voluntarily. Descriptive analysis was used in the analysis of the obtained data. Results: As a result of the descriptive analysis; the interviewees positioned social media in their minds within the framework of expression environment, benefit-harm dichotomy, addiction and sharing; It has been found that they interpret it as a means of communication and accessing information. Interviewers are useful in terms of accessing information from social media; they think that it is harmful because of the time spent, negative emotions, deterioration of mental health, loss of time and value. At the same time, it has been observed that the interviewees have a perception that there is no reality in social media. Conclusion: By examining the findings, it was concluded that individuals could be exposed to the violence of positivity even if they were aware of the negativities, and this could lead them to a dilemma about leaving social media or using it optimally. It is important to consider the full impact of social media environments and users' online presentations on individual lives and society. At this point, it is thought that it is essential to analyze and evaluate the individual and social effects in the long term in the best way by the relevant authorities and to implement solution proposals.

Published: March 2023

This research, which aims to examine the relationship between Turkish teachers' perceptions of organizational identity and school climate and their attitudes towards teamwork, is a quantitative survey and relational survey model. The study population of the research consists of 227 Turkish teachers working in public schools affiliated to the Kırşehir Province National Education Directorate in the 2021-2022 academic year. In the study, sampling was not used, and all Turkish teachers were reached by making a full count of the universe. It has been concluded that there is a positive, high and statistical relationship between Turkish teachers' perception of organizational identity, school climate and teamwork perception levels throughout the research, and that teamwork has a mediating and regulatory effect on the effect of organizational identity on school climate. It has been concluded that the organizational identity perception levels of Turkish teachers tend to increase, and that the organizational identity perceptions of Turkish teachers who are male, graduate, 46 years of age and older, and have a seniority of 21 years or more are relatively higher. It was concluded that the perception levels of the school climate of Turkish teachers tend to increase, and that the organizational identity perceptions of Turkish teachers who are male, graduate, 46 years of age and older, and have a seniority of 21 years or more are relatively higher. It was concluded that the teamwork perception levels of Turkish teachers tend to increase, and that the organizational identity perceptions of Turkish teachers who are male, graduate, 46 years of age and older, and have a seniority of 21 years or more are relatively higher. It was concluded that there is a positive, high level and statistically significant relationship between Turkish teachers' organizational identity, school climate, and teamwork perception levels.
Snow drought and monsoon floods—hydrological extremes in the Cedar Valley watershed during water year 2021, southwestern Utah
Authors: Mueller Erich , Sudweeks Garrett , Ashton Shadrach , Olson Micah
Published: March 2023

Water year 2021 was a year of extremes in the Cedar Valley watershed of southern Utah, with snow drought resulting in extremely low snowmelt runoff of Coal Creek and intense monsoon rainfall resulting in several floods in different parts of the valley. Winter snow accumulation was depressed throughout southern Utah, perhaps due to La Nina conditions affecting winter storm trajectories. Coal Creek, the principal stream providing surface water to Cedar Valley, typically receives most of its annual flow from snowmelt runoff, but in 2021 had a peak snowmelt discharge 15% to 25% of that recorded in the previous two years and the third lowest snowmelt runoff on record. Following this extremely low snowmelt runoff period, more than 10 floods of Coal Creek occurred following monsoon storms in July and August that exceeded the 2021 snowmelt peak. Additionally, several thunderstorms produced rainfall rates in exceedance of the 100-year event and induced flooding within Cedar City and the town of Enoch. Flood inundation modeling using HEC-RAS and high-resolution topographic data showed good agreement with field and pubic-survey data on the high-water stage during the Enoch flooding, and demonstrated that the flooding was likely exacerbated by the low topography and limited drainage potential in flooded areas. Whereas the monsoon storms improved soil moisture and helped alleviate drought conditions, they also resulted in urban flooding and did little to replenish the regional water supply.

Diabetes mellitus induces coagulopathies by glycating haemoglobin, prothrombin, fibrinogen, and other proteins involved in the clotting mechanism. Shortened PTTK and PT represent a hypercoagulable state related to an elevated thrombotic risk and a negative cardiovascular effect, both of which can lead to the onset and progression of microvascular and macrovascular problems. The study aims to compare the coagulation profile in diabetes-related microvascular complications in clients with uncontrolled and controlled diabetes at an Edo specialty hospital in Benin City. A hospital-based case-control study was carried out at ESH in Benin City. Two hundred eighty individuals were recruited for the study, including 215 diabetes patients (55 type I diabetes, 160 type II diabetes, and 65 non-diabetics) attending the outpatient department of ESH in Benin City. Blood was drawn for coagulation and biochemical assays. Diabetes patients had significantly lower levels of PT and PTTK compared to non-diabetes controls (p<0.05). Fibrinogen and D-dimer levels were considerably higher (p<0.05). The PTTK level was much lower in type 2 diabetes than in type 1 diabetes, and there was a significant difference in platelet count between type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Female diabetes patients had lower levels of PTTK and PT than male diabetic patients. Furthermore, in diabetes with complications, the levels of PTTK and platelet count were lower (p0.05). It was discovered that insulin treatment decreased platelet count, whereas sulfonylurea increased fibrinogen levels in people with diabetes. Diabetes may increase the risk of clotting, as indicated by shorter PTTK, PT, and higher fibrinogen and D-dimer levels compared to controls. The coagulation profile should be evaluated as a regular screening test in diabetes patients to reduce the incidence and prevalence of vascular burden and to improve quality of life.

Published: March 2023

Background: Migraine is a common chronic episodic disabling primary headache disorder. Migraine can affect all age groups elderly and young age with different presentation of symptoms between two age groups. The prevelance of migraine is highest between 20 and 55 years peaking at age around 40 years of age and the declines thereafter, however the primary headache disorder does also exist in older population.Objective: This study was undertaken in order to find out the differences in the characteristics of migraine headache between elderly and young for easy diagnosis and treatment.Patient and Method: We retrospectively assessed subjects seen from March 2010 to October 2010 in Baghdad Teaching Hospital neurology out-patient clinic. We applied a questionnaire based the criteria of episodic migraine headache (with and without aura) according to the international Classification of headache disorder; we elect 50 migrainous patients with age < 50 years old and compare them with other 50 migrainous patients > 50 years old..Results: headache was more unilateral in the young group (84%) compared with ( 52%) in older patients (p=0.001). Throbbing headache and disability had been reported less in old group than in young .Pain aggravation with activity was significant more in the young group (p=0.004), the duration of pain was less in the elderly .The number of attacks also less in general when compared with the young. The presence of aura in the older group (12%) versus (24%) in young. Photophobia and phonophobia were less in elderly (P<0.0001), (P<0.0001) respectively. While nausea, diarrhea, rhinorrhoea, tearing eyes were more in older group than young. Vomiting (P=0.025) and sleeping late (as a triggering factor) (P=0.017) were more prominent features in young than older group.Conclusion: The study showed a decrease of most features in the above 50 years old group whether the differences are significant like (unilateral site of pain ,aggravation with activity, Sleeping late, Photophobia, Phonophobia, Vomiting ) and no statistical significant differences like (nausea , tiredness, hungry, uncomfortable sleep, food and need rest).

Fragmentation disrupts microbial effects on native plant community productivity
Authors: Kiesewetter Kasey , Otano Leydiana , Afkhami Michelle
Published: March 2023

1. Anthropogenic habitat fragmentation – the breaking up of natural landscapes – is a pervasive threat to biodiversity and ecosystem function worldwide. Fragmentation results in a mosaic of remnant native habitat patches embedded in human-modified habitat known as the “matrix”. By introducing novel environmental conditions in matrix habitats and reducing connectivity of native habitats, fragmentation can dramatically change how organisms experience their environment. The effects of fragmentation can be especially important in urban landscapes, which are expanding across the globe. Despite this surging threat and the importance of microbiomes for ecosystem services, we know very little about how fragmentation affects microbiomes and even less about their consequences for plant-microbe interactions in urban landscapes. 2. By combining field surveys, microbiome sequencing, and experimental mesocosms, we (1) investigated how microbial community diversity, composition, and functional profiles differed between 15 native pine rockland fragments and the adjacent urban matrix habitat, (2) identified habitat attributes that explained significant variation in microbial diversity of native core habitat compared to urban matrix, and (3) tested how changes in urbanized and low connectivity microbiomes affected plant community productivity. 3. We found urban and native microbiomes differed substantively in diversity, composition, and functional profiles, including symbiotic fungi decreasing 81% and pathogens increasing 327% in the urban matrix compared to native habitat. Further, fungal diversity rapidly declined as native habitats became increasingly isolated, with ~50% of variation across the landscape explained by habitat connectivity alone. Interestingly, microbiomes from native habitats increased plant productivity by ~300% while urban matrix microbiomes had no effect, suggesting that urbanization may decouple beneficial plant-microbe interactions. In addition, microbial diversity within native habitats explained significant variation in plant community productivity, with higher productivity linked to more diverse microbiomes from more connected, larger fragments. 4. Synthesis. Taken together, our study not only documents significant changes in microbial diversity, composition, and functions in the urban matrix, but also supports that two aspects of habitat fragmentation — the introduction of a novel urban matrix and reduced habitat connectivity — disrupt microbial effects on plant community productivity, highlighting preservation of native microbiomes as critical for productivity in remnant fragments.
Partitioning variance in population growth for models with environmental and demographic stochasticity
Authors: Knape Jonas , Paquet Matthieu , Arlt Debora , Kačergytė Ineta , Pärt Tomas
Published: March 2023

1. How demographic factors lead to variation or change in growth rates can be investigated using life table response experiments (LTRE) based on structured population models. Traditionally, LTREs focused on decomposing the asymptotic growth rate, but more recently decompositions of annual ‘realized’ growth rates have gained in popularity.2. Realized LTREs have been used particularly to understand how variation in vital rates translate into variation in growth for populations under long-term study. For these, complete population models may be constructed by combining data in an integrated population model (IPM). IPMs are also used to investigate how temporal variation in environmental drivers affect vital rates. Such investigations have usually come down to estimating covariate coefficients for the effects of environmental variables on vital rates, but formal ways of assessing how they lead to variation in growth rates have been lacking.3. We extend realized LTREs in two ways. First, we further partition the contributions from vital rates into contributions from temporally varying factors that affect them. The decomposition allows us to compare the resultant effect on the growth rate of different environmental factors that may each act via multiple vital rates. Second, we show how realized growth rates can be decomposed into separate components from environmental and demographic stochasticity. The latter is typically omitted in LTRE analyses.4. We illustrate how to use the approach in an IPM for data from a 26 year study on northern wheatears (Oenanthe oenanthe), a migratory passerine bird breeding in an agricultural landscape. For this population, consisting of around 50-120 breeding pairs per year, we partition variation in realized growth rates into environmental contributions from temperature, rainfall, population density, and unexplained random variation via multiple vital rates, and from demographic stochasticity.5. The case study suggest that variation in first year survival via the random component, and adult survival via temperature are two main factors behind environmental variation in growth rates. More than half of the variation in growth rates is suggested to come from demographic stochasticity, demonstrating the importance of this factor for populations of moderate size.
Presence of the Female Persona in the Poetry of Nizar Qabbani
Authors: Assadi Nassim
Published: March 2023

This article revolves around the female poet's ego in the poetry of Nizar Qabbani, and we have concluded that the death of “Wesal,” the poet's sister, had an impact on him, as he became a supporter of women's rights, pushing them to control their lives, bodies and destiny, and making the cause of women the most loyal and important rank in his collections until 1967. Qabbani chose to speak for women and to be persuaded by her mask so that his poetry would have the strongest impact on people, to reflect many types of women's pains and issues in Eastern society, and to freely reveal the feelings, thoughts and anger in his chest that were considered forbidden at that time. The cause of freedom, which was adopted by Qabbani was limited in its first stage to women's freedom, and for this reason, the poems of the female poet ego abounded, so that we receive the voice of women who demand freedom in all its colors and spectrums and in various fields. Diary of an Indifferent Woman, published in 1968, was dedicated by the poet to the female poet's ego to speak with the voice of women, summarize all their issues, and declare a revolution against society in the face of all the injustices they face, summarizing a partial stage, which is the stage of the absolute women's freedom in order to move to a more comprehensive and broader stage, which is the stage of mankind at large. After the 1967 war, the issue of freedom expanded to the level of the Arab nation and the human being in general, male and female, so the voice of the female poet ego representing women decreased, and the voice of the masculine poet ego, which represents human beings at large aroused.

Published: March 2023

This study aimed to determine the influence of good corporate governance and intellectual capital mechanisms on financial performance with profit management as a mediating variable for the industrial sector listed on the Indonesian stock exchange in 2018 – 2021. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique so that 34 companies (188 company years) met the criteria selected as sample. Data analysis techniques were performed using multiple regression and hypothesis testing using eviews 9 and the sobel test. Based on the results of multiple regression analysis with a significance level of 5%, this study shows that only the independent board of commissioners and audit quality variables have a significant effect on financial performance. Other variables have no effect on financial performance. In this study, earnings management is not able to significantly mediate the influence between GCG and intellectual capital.

Published: March 2023

Los docentes de educación media superior por lo general no tienen una formación pedagógica, es decir, cuentan con licenciaturas o ingenierías no vinculadas con la docencia, pero terminan prestando servicios en este nivel educativo. Aquí, los estudiantes se encuentran en una etapa previa a elegir su carrera. Esta condición del personal académico los acerca más al modelo de docentes de educación superior que al de educación básica, por ello es importante documentar las particularidades que caracterizan la actividad docente en este nivel educativo. El presente trabajo tiene el propósito de acercarse a las experiencias de cinco profesores del sistema medio superior CBTIS, ubicado en Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua. El trabajo se llevó a cabo a partir de un conjunto de entrevistas que nos permiten conocer sus historias, trayectorias y experiencias en el desarrollo de su labor educativa, sus reflexiones sobre el trabajo docente y su formación profesional, cómo ingresaron a la educación media superior y los retos pedagógicos que ello implica.

Published: March 2023

Para hablar de deserción escolar entre la población indígena de la ciudad de Chihuahua es necesario hacer un recorrido histórico a través de las políticas públicas que se han instaurado desde la época de la Colonia. Por medio de este análisis se puede empezar a explicar la situación actual de niñas, niños y adolescentes ralámuli, quienes por presiones económicas, sociales y culturales suelen abandonar sus estudios, aún cuando la educación es gratuita y obligatoria hasta el nivel medio superior; de esta forma, se puede decir que sus derechos humanos se ven rebasados por la indiferencia, discriminación y otros tipos de violencias culturales que se reflejan en el ámbito público en forma de escuelas que no toman en cuenta la educación indígena. Por lo tanto, este artículo presentará los resultados parciales de la intervención comunitaria realizada en diversas comunidades indígenas urbanas.

Analysis and Forecasting of Rice Production Behavior in Bangladesh
Authors: Parvin Rehana
Published: March 2023

This research looks at how numerous factors, including the price of rice, area, improved seed distribution, areas irrigated by different improved methods, and fertilizer, influence rice production in Bangladesh. This study employed the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model to investigate the short-run and long-run effects of each exogenous variable on rice production. In this research work, auto regressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and hybrid ARIMA-(general autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic) GRACH were used to forecast rice production in Bangladesh from 1983 to 2030. The parameters of price of rice, area irrigated by different improved methods, area, and fertilizer were found to have a significant and positive impact on rice production in this study, both in the short run and the long run, according to the ARDL model. According to the lowest Root Mean Squared Error, Mean Absolute Error and Theil Inequality Coefficient criteria, the linear hybrid ARIMA (11, 1, 11)–EGARCH (1, 1)–M model performed better in predicting the rice production in Bangladesh.

The aim of the present study was to adapt a ‘Health-Specific Self-Efficacy Scales (HSSES)’ for use in Bangladesh. For this purpose, 155 respondents (age range 18 to 42 years) were selected using convenient sampling technique from different departments (students, facultiesand stuff) of IUBAT University. The scales were adapted following five steps such as ensuring construct equivalence, forward translation, focus group discussion, back translation as well as a pilot study. The findings demonstrated that the Bangla Version of 'Health-Specific Self-Efficacy Scales' has sound reliability [Cronbach Alpha 0.79 (‘Nutrition Self-Efficacy (NSE)’ 0.84, ‘Physical Exercise Self-efficacy (PESE)’ 0.76,‘Alcohol Resistance Self-efficacy (ARSE)’ 0.82), Split-half reliability 0.73 (Spearman-Brown) and 0.76 (Guttman method), test-retest reliability 0.67] and satisfactory validity. These results exhibit that Health-Specific Self-Efficacy Scales (‘NSE’, ‘PESE’ and ‘ARSE’) are reliable and valid instruments for assessing nutrition, physical exercise and alcohol resistance-related self believes as well as health consciousness. Furthermore, this study uncovers the opportunity for further health-related research projects in Bangladesh.

Authors: Akanda Firoz , Marzan Lulu Al , Islam Md Sadekul
Published: March 2023

Developing speaking skills is considered an important goal for tertiary-level students in Bangladesh. Learning oral presentation techniques can lead learners to communicative competency, especially speaking competence. This paper explores the role of oral presentations in developing undergraduate EFL (English as a foreign language) learners' speaking skills in selected private universities in Bangladesh. The study followed a quantitative method and collected data from one hundred thirty-five EFL tertiary-level students. The findings show that oral presentations have positive impacts on learners' motivation and enhance their speaking skills. At the same time, the findings also indicate that there are a number of potential factors that hinder the learners' oral delivery which include their lack of motivation, limited vocabulary, anxiety, and fear. The study results have implications for instructional design and delivery at the tertiary level in Bangladesh as well as in other similar contexts.

Objetivo: Analisar a cobertura vacinal infantil e adulto de todos os imunizantes disponíveis pelo PNI, no estado de Rondônia na última década. Metodologia: Estudo epidemiológico, descritivo e quantitativo realizado através dos dados disponíveis no Sistema de Informação de Agravos e Notificação - SINAN, do Sistema de Informação do Programa Nacional de Imunizações (SI-PNI) entre os anos de 2013 e 2022. Resultados: A cobertura vacinal (CV) no estado de Rondônia analisada ao longo dessa série histórica encontra-se em 80% e, evidencia que, apesar dos esforços e metas estipuladas pelo PNI, ainda há baixa cobertura vacinal em alguns imunizantes, dentre eles, dupla adulto e tríplice acelular na gestante (43,57%), reforço da DTP (difteria, tétano e coqueluche) em crianças de 4 e 6 anos (44,50%), e da dTpa na gestante (49,52%). A CV foi considerada expressiva, atingindo ≥ 95%, meta preconizada pelo MS, principalmente na primeira dose de Tríplice Viral (103,85%) e DTP (102,87%), outros imunizantes estiveram entre ou próximo a margem estabelecida pela Sociedade Brasileira de Imunização. Considerações Finais: diversos fatores estão relacionados a baixa cv no estado de Rondônia, dentre eles, a vulnerabilidade socioeconômica, o acesso e a precarização dos serviços na APS. Nesse sentido, é preciso ampliar a cobertura vacinal, fortalecer o PNI, o acesso e a integralidade do cuidado preconizados pelo SUS e pilares da Estratégia de Saúde da Família.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo descrever a elaboração de um guia prático sobre compatibilidade entre medicamentos administrados em Y. Trata-se de um estudo de caráter descritivo, do tipo relato de experiência, que foi desenvolvido no período de março a agosto de 2022 no Hospital Universitário de Lagarto (HUL), a partir do levantamento dos medicamentos endovenosos padronizados no hospital. Para a construção do instrumento foi realizada revisão bibliográfica narrativa e consultas a guias e manuais publicados por outras unidades hospitalares especializadas e bulas de medicamentos. Os medicamentos que possuíam incompatibilidades foram listados em um quadro, bem como foram sinalizados aqueles que não apresentaram informações de testes de compatibilidade. Após revisão criteriosa dos itens padronizados no HUL, foram selecionados 123 medicamentos para compor o guia de incompatibilidade em Y, por representarem aqueles com administração por via endovenosa. O guia foi estruturado tendo como base o modelo padrão dos materiais produzidos pelo Setor de Farmácia Hospitalar do HUL. Para os medicamentos com dados insuficientes na literatura, foram colocados no quadro do guia os avisos de poucos testes, não há testes, não são indicadas misturas com outros medicamentos ou não foram encontradas informações nas referências, conforme pertinente. Os medicamentos que tiveram mais dados na literatura sobre incompatibilidades foram a fenitoína e o diazepam. Com este trabalho, foi possível demonstrar a importância de pesquisas com foco em estratégias que minimizem os potenciais danos causados por incompatibilidade de medicamentos.

A cardiomiopatia dilatada periparto (CMPP) é uma forma de insuficiência cardíaca de origem não identificável, que representa uma importante causa de mortalidade materna não obstétrica no mundo, ocorrendo no último mês de gestação ou meses seguintes após o parto, o aborto ou o aborto espontâneo. Comparativamente a outras formas de cardiomiopatia, a CMPP promove uma maior formação de trombos intracardíacos e sistêmicos, sendo por isso recomendada a administração da terapia anticoagulante como uma estratégia para a prevenção de eventos deletérios. O presente estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a terapia anticoagulante na CMPP. Para esta Revisão de Escopo, realizada através das plataformas PubMed e Science Direct, entre 2018 e 2023, os descritores escolhidos foram ‘’Anticoagulants’’, ‘’Dilated Cardiomyopathy’’ e ‘’Peripartum Period’’. Os critérios de inclusão consistiram em 1) ensaios clínicos, testes controlados e randomizados, revisões e meta-análises, 2) estudos sobre a anticoagulação na CMPP, 3) textos que abordaram o manejo de pacientes portadoras de CMPP anticoaguladas 4) artigos escritos em português, inglês ou espanhol. Os critérios de exclusão incluíram inadequações temáticas, relatos de casos, estudos com animais e textos fora do recorte temporal. As evidências encontradas sugeriram que os principais riscos da anticoagulação na CMPP são o acidente vascular encefálico, a hemorragia materna e o sangramento retroplacentário. A hipertensão arterial sistêmica, as arritmias estruturais e o choque cardiogênico são consideradas complicações frequentes associadas à CMPP.

CFTR folding in health and disease
Authors:   , Hillenaar Maria Johanna Helena
Published: March 2023

Cystic Fibrosis is a hereditary disease caused by a lack of functional Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator (CFTR) protein on the cell surface. CFTR consists of several domains. The two transmembrane domains, TMD1 and TMD2, reside in the cell membrane while the nucleotide-binding domains, NBD1 and NBD2, and the R domain reside in the cytosol. To form the final ion channel, all domains must interact and assemble. Due to folding errors, either 1) the protein is degraded and an insufficient number of CFTR molecules reaches the cell surface or 2) the protein is less functional, because an incorrect conformation affects the opening and closing of the channel. This thesis investigated how and when CFTR domains fold and assemble. We also investigated how mutations in CFTR affect protein folding and how drugs contribute to the rescue of CFTR folding and function. The obtained information on the folding of CFTR contributes to the development of medication for CF patients and to the prediction of the effect of medication on various disease-causing CFTR mutations.

Yapılan araştırmanın amacı genç erişkinlerin vücut kompozisyonu, fiziksel aktivite ve el kavrama kuvvetini belirleyerek bunların birbirleriyle olan ilişkisini ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaçla Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi’nde öğrenimlerine devam eden 19-25 yaş arası 723 (385 erkek, 338 kadın) öğrenci araştırmaya katılmıştır. Bireylerin boy ve ağırlık ölçümleri yapılmış, vücut kompozisyonu ve el kavrama kuvveti belirlenmiştir. Uluslararası fiziksel aktivite ölçeği yardımıyla da fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri saptanmıştır. Vücut kompozisyonu, fiziksel aktivite ve el kavrama kuvveti arasındaki ilişki değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmada hem antropometrik ölçüler hem de vücut kompozisyonuna ilişkin değerler cinsiyetler arasında anlamlı farklılığa sahiptir (p<0.001). Bireylerin %13,9’u inaktif, %51,8’i minimum aktif, %34,3’ü ise çok aktif olarak belirlenmiştir. Cinsiyetlere göre fiziksel aktivite düzeyleri arasında vücut kompozisyonu bileşenleri ve el kavrama kuvveti değerleri anlamlı farklılık göstermemektedir. Her iki cinsiyette de kas kitlesi, yağsız vücut kitlesi ve toplam vücut suyu ile sol ve sağ kavrama kuvveti arasında çok düşük düzeyde pozitif ilişki belirlenmiştir. Diğer yandan sağ ile sol kavrama kuvveti arasında ve kas kitlesi ile yağsız vücut kitlesi arasında çok yüksek düzeyde pozitif korelasyon bulunmaktadır. Vücut kompozisyonu, el kavrama kuvveti ve fiziksel aktivitenin birlikte değerlendirildiği daha fazla araştırmaya ihtiyaç vardır.

Çalışmanın amacı, CrossFit yapan sporcuların yaralanma oranlarını, yaralanma bölgelerini, yaralanmaya sebep olan hareketleri ve yaralanma etki sürelerini incelemektir. Türkiye’nin farklı illerinde CrossFit antrenmanlarına katılan toplam 92 gönüllü sporcu (27 kadın; 65 erkek) araştırmaya katılmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan ölçek araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulmuştur. Ölçek, yaralanmaya sebep olan hareket ve hareket grubu, yaralanma bölgesi, yaralanma türü ve yaralanma etki süresini içeren sorulardan oluşmaktadır. Bulgular ortalama, standart sapma, frekans ve yüzde olarak istatistiksel yöntemlerle belirlenmiştir. Analizler SPSS 22 programıyla yapılmıştır. Yaralanmaların %34,8’i powerlifting, %21,9’u olimpik kaldırış, %19,1’i kalistenik egzersiz, %11,3’ü dayanıklılık egzersizi ve %12,9’u da diğer hareketlerden meydana geldiği görülmüştür. Yaralanmaların %20’si gövde, %37’si üst ekstremite ve %43’ü alt ekstremitede meydana gelmiştir. Gövdedeki yaralanmaların %17’si omurgada ve %3’ü boyunda, üst ekstremitedeki yaralanmalar, %15’i omuzda ve %13’ü el bileğinde ve alt ekstremitedeki yaralanmalar %16’sı diz ve %15’i ayak bileğinde meydana gelmiştir. Yaralanma etkilerinin ise %33’ü 1 haftadan az, %31’i 1-3 hafta ve %18’i 4-6 hafta ve 6 hafta üzeri sürdüğü bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak CrossFit sporcularında en fazla omurga, omuz, diz ve ayak bileği bölgelerinde yaralanmaların olduğu görülmüştür. Yaralanmalara neden olan hareket gruplarının ise sırasıyla powerlifting ve olimpik kaldırış egzersiz tekniklerini içeren hareket grupları olduğu ve yaralanma etki sürelerinin 4 haftadan fazla olduğu ve buna bağlı olarak spora dönüş sürelerinin uzadığı söylenebilir.

Akademik başarı, bireyin özellikle mesleki geleceğine yön veren önemli bir etkendir ve akademik başarıyı etkileyen birçok unsur bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi (SBF) öğrencilerinin teknolojik bağımlılıkları ile algılanan stres düzeylerinin incelenmesi ve bu düzeylerin akademik başarılarına etkisinin ortaya konmasıdır. Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden, ilişkisel tarama modelinin kullanıldığı araştırmanın çalışma grubunu, SBF’de 2021-2022 akademik yılda öğrenim gören, kolay örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen 354 gönüllü öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak akademik başarı için öğrencilerin genel akademik not ortalamaları, Teknolojik Bağımlılık Ölçeği ve Algılanan Stres Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde, öğrencilerin demografik özelliklerine ilişkin bulgular için frekans ve yüzde; alt boyutlar arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla pearson korelasyon katsayısı testi; teknolojik bağımlılık ve algılanan streslerinin akademik başarılarını yordama düzeylerini ve teknolojik bağımlılıklarının algılanan streslerini yordama düzeylerini belirlemek için çoklu doğrusal regresyon analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada, öğrencilerin teknoloji bağımlılığı ve algılanan stres düzeyleri düştükçe akademik başarılarının arttığı; teknoloji bağımlılığı ve algılanan stresin akademik başarıyı yordadığı; algılanan stres arttıkça teknoloji bağımlılığının da arttığı ve teknoloji bağımlılığının algılanan stresi yordadığı bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak teknolojik bağımlılığın ve algılanan stresin üniversite öğrencilerinin akademik başarılarını düşürdüğü tespit edilmiştir. Bu bağlamda üniversite öğrencilerinin teknolojiyi bilinçli kullanmaları, stresle baş etme yollarını bilmeleri ve stresi optimal düzeyde tutmalarının akademik başarılarını arttıracağı düşünülmektedir.
