Authors: Can Derya , Bayer Nukhet
Published: June 2023

Aim: This study aims to determine the first-aid self-efficacy of mothers with children aged 0-4 years.

Methods: This descriptive study is conducted in a university hospital in Ankara, Turkey with 403 mothers who have children aged 0-4 years. The questionnaire method has been used to collect data in the study. The questionnaire consists of two parts. In the first part of it ‘‘the socio-demographic characteristics form’’ and in the second part of it ‘‘the first-aid self-efficacy scale’’, which is used to determine the mothers’ first-aid self-efficacy, were included. The analysis of the research data is performed with SPSS statistical program.

Results: The age range of the participants in the study is 19-46 years and the mean age is 29.41±7.40 years. 46.2% of the mothers are 19-28 years old, 93.3% are married, 39.2% are graduated from high school, and 54.8% are housewives. 86.3% of the mothers state that they have not had the first-aid training and 42.9% of them state that they have encountered a situation requiring the first-aid resulting mostly (60.1%) in an injury. The mean score of the scale is 30.90±9.50.

Conclusions: In our study, it is found that the first-aid self-efficacy of mothers is low. The mothers with an undergraduate degree have higher first-aid self-efficacy than the ones who graduated from a primary school and those who had the first-aid training have higher first-aid self-efficacy than the ones who did not receive the first-aid training. To increase the first-aid self-efficacy of mothers, the first-aid trainings should be organized by public/private health institutions and non-governmental organizations, practices should be made on models and repeated periodically. It is suggested that more centers and fathers to be included in these trainings in the future.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: Exploring the factors that are associated with diminished health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in patients with asthma is essential to reach the optimal HRQOL. This study aim to assess HRQOL and its associated factors in patients with asthma in Jordan.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on patients with asthma attending King Abdullah University Hospital and Jordan University Hospital in Jordan. In addition to socio-demographic variables, the study survey included mini asthma quality of life questionnaire (mini AQLQ) to measure HRQOL and asthma control test (ACT) to assess the degree of asthma control in asthmatic patients. Binary logistic regression was used to build a model of the independent predictors of poor HRQOL in the study participants.

Results: Of the 314 participating patients, 70.1% were females, with a mean age of 51.47±16.37 years. 61.1% of the participants had low HRQOL, with a total mean mini AQLQ score of 4.30±1.30. Results revealed that advanced age (OR=0.961; 95% CI: 0.936-0.986; p<0.05) and lack of daily exercise (OR=0.233; 95% CI: 0.085-0.637; p<0.01) were significant predictors of poor HRQOL in patients with asthma, while better controlled disease, manifested by higher ACT score was associated with better HRQOL in these patients (OR=1.499; 95% CI: 1.344-1.672; p<0.01).

Conclusions: HRQOL represents an area for improvement in patients with asthma. The current study provides insight on the factors associated with poor HRQOL. Future interventions and asthma management programs should focus on improving asthma control and encouraging physical activity, particularly for older patients, with the aim of improving HRQOL among patients with asthma.

The prevalence of polypharmacy was 76.8% and prescription pattern was analyzed in different stages of chronic kidney disease was found to be antiulcer drugs (84.5%) and antihypertensive (81.6%) were the most commonly prescribed class of drug. Age, gender, length of hospital stay, comorbidities such as diabetes mellitus and hypertension were determined as the main predictors for polypharmacy (p-value < 0.05). Drug interaction (93.2%) was identified as main Drug-related problem associated with polypharmacy (p-value of 0.022). Conclusion: Polypharmacy has a positive correlation with advancement of chronic kidney disease which put them at higher risk for drug-related problems. Drug Related Problems may be prevented or reduced by early detection and modification of the above-mentioned predictors.
The time of making a strategic decision in transport management: Own, outsourced or mixed fleet?
Authors: Gomes Rickardo  , Silva Bruno
Published: June 2023

Transportation is responsible for delivering a product to the supply chain, which is why it is often cited as a potential factor of competitive advantage for companies. However, more and more companies are opting to outsource their transportation service demands instead of investing in their own fleet. This research falls under the qualitative research method with an exploratory investigation level based on a literature review. Based on the literature review conducted, it was possible to conclude that the main advantages of a company-owned fleet are primarily the availability of transportation to the company and control over drivers and deliveries. The general objective of this study was to conduct a comparative study on the decision moment between an own, outsourced, or mixed road transportation fleet. It sought to highlight the best option in terms of cost-benefit and profitability, for the most dynamic choice among these modes of operation, with the goal of business profitability and sustainability. The research indicates that outsourcing increases competitiveness when the company-owned fleet is not sufficient to meet the demand, constituting a profitable solution. However, the balance between cost and vehicle availability is in the acquisition of a mixed fleet.

Published: June 2023

Amaç: Glioblastoma yetişkinlerde en sık görülen ölümcül beyin kanseridir. Toll-benzeri reseptörler, patojen tanıma ve doğal bağışıklığın aktivasyonu ile ilişkili 10 reseptörden (Toll-benzeri reseptör 1-10) oluşan hücre yüzey reseptörleridir. Ancak, çelişkili sonuçlar içermekle birlikte bazı çalışmalar Toll benzeri reseptör ekspresyonunun, glioblastoma dahil bazı tümörlerde, kanser hücresi proliferasyonu ve ilerlemesi ile ilişkili olabileceğini göstermiştir. Bu nedenle, bu çalışmada literatürde ilk kez glioblastomada Toll- benzeri reseptörlerin on üyesinin tamamının ekspresyon profilinin araştırılması amaçlandı.
Hastalar ve Yöntem: 2018 yılı Ocak ve Aralık ayları arasında tanı alan 25 glioblastoma hastasına ait formalinle fikse edilmiş parafine gömülmüş dokularda Toll-benzeri reseptörlerin mRNA ekspresyonu kantitatif gerçek zamanlı polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu kullanılarak değerlendirildi. Ayrıca her bir Toll- benzeri reseptörün ekspresyonu, beş farklı insan glioblastom hücre hattı (T98G, U87-MG, U373, LN18 ve A172) kullanılarak hücre kültürü analizi ile araştırıldı.
Bulgular: Glioblastoma grubunun formalinle fikse edilmiş parafine gömülmüş dokularında kantitatif gerçek zamanlı polimeraz zincir reaksiyonu analizi ile Toll-benzeri reseptör 1, Toll-benzeri reseptör 6 ve Toll-benzeri reseptör 7 mRNA düzeyleri anlamlı olarak arttığı (her biri, p<0.001), Toll-benzeri reseptör 4 ve Toll-benzeri reseptör 10 düzeylerinin ise kontrol grubu ile kıyaslandığında anlamlı olarak azaldığı görüldü (sırası ile, p=0.023, p<0.001). Ek olarak, Toll-benzeri reseptör mRNA ekspresyon profilleri farklı hücre hatları arasında farklılık sergiledi.
Sonuç: Çalışmamızda birçok Toll-benzeri reseptör üyesi glioblastoma mikroçevresinde farklı ekspresyon düzeyi gösteriyor ve onu farklı şekilde etkiliyor gibi görünüyordu. Glioblastomada her bir Toll-benzeri reseptörün endojen protein seviyesini doğrulamak, glioblastomanın patogenezi ve prognozu üzerindeki kesin rollerini netleştirmek ve yeni hedef tedavilere ışık tutmak için daha kapsamlı çalışmalara ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.

The advantages of using 10X23H18 steel instead of Nickel 201 alloy for making pipes resistant to sodium hydroxide solutions
Authors: Abdul'manova Rushana , Tyusenkov Anton , Bugay D.
Published: June 2023

In oxidizing environments, nickel and its alloys are prone to immunization and therefore the corrosion rate of equipment made of these materials is significantly reduced. Nickel and its alloys are widely used for the manufacture of equipment in contact with alkaline solutions. However, at high temperatures and high alkali flow rates, there is a possibility of contact wear of the metal surface of sodium hydroxide crystals due to the low hardness of nickel. Replacing nickel pipes with ones made of cheaper corrosion-resistant steels would solve the problem of rational design of equipment and pipelines of enterprises associated with the production of sodium hydroxide. The paper presents the results of comparative tests of corrosion resistance of 10X23H18 steel and Nickel 201 alloy in aqueous alkali caustic soda solutions of various concentrations. On a study basis, it can be concluded that the dissolution rate of 10X23H18 steel is significantly less than the dissolution rate of Nickel 201 alloy. It should be noted that with an increase in the concentration of solutions, the corrosion rate of steel gradually decreases, which is not the case for nickel-based alloy. Besides, judging from the results of hardness measurement, 10X23H18 steel can be distinguished due to its high resistance to abrasive wear. According to the scale of corrosion resistance, both materials are absolutely resistant. Since 10X23H18 steel has a lower cost compared to Nickel 201 alloy, it can be recommended substitutionally for the manufacture of the equipment operating in sodium hydroxide solutions at ambient conditions.
Increasing the efficiency of slotting deep fir trees in gas turbine discs made of heat-resistant alloys by applying a combined method of hydroabrasive treatment and broaching

Published: June 2023

The efficiency of the application of a new technology for fir-tree slots treatment in turbine discs based on a combination of pre-slotting operations of the «house» by hydro-abrasive treatment (HAT) and final broaching of the herringbone on a CNC machine in comparison with milling, deep grinding and EDM-ing methods is viewed. Problems arising within manufacturing and operating of broaches often cause down-time of both types: main and tool production. At the same time, the set high growth rates of production of gas turbine engines are inevitably restrained, the costs of manufacturing sets of multi-section fir-tree broaches are significantly increasing. To solve the problem, various combined processing techniques are proposed for the application, i.e., the pre-slotting of the «house» of broaches is carried out by various productive cutting methods such as deep grinding, milling, EDM-ing and HAT, while finishing is carried out using finishing profile broaching tech-nique. The pre-liminary calculations of labor intensity and production costs carried out during comparative tests of various combined variants of pre-slotting have proved the advantages of HAT cutting.

As a result of the experimental studies, conducted on slotting, using HAT technique with subsequent broaching under final form broach, it was found that channel profile of the preliminary slot with allowances, made for measured profile devi-ation, is in the tolerable limit before final shape of the final broaching, which bears evidence of the slot appropriateness made by HAT method and its readiness for final broaching. After herringbone final broaching an electronic control was conducted and it was found that all the main dimensions in the herringbones are within tolerance limits and are suitable according to technic specifications. It is proposed to carry out further experimental work on particular stock-produced tur-bine disks for making a decision on the introduction of a new technology into mass production.

Published: June 2023

Visualization plays an important role in extracting insights from complex and large-scale genomics data. Traditional graphical user interfaces (GUIs) offer limited flexibility for custom visualizations. Our prior work, Gosling, enables expressive visualization creation using a grammar-based approach, but beginners may face challenges in constructing complex visualizations. To address this, we explore multimodal interactions, including sketches, example images, and natural language inputs, to streamline visualization creation. Specifically, we customize two deep learning models (YOLO v7 and GPT3.5) to interpret user interactions and convert them into Gosling specifications. A workflow is proposed to progressively introduce and integrate multimodal interactions. We then present use cases demonstrating their effectiveness and identify challenges and opportunities for future research.

Aging as a morphostasis defect: a developmental bioelectricity perspective
Authors: Pio-Lopez Léo , Levin Michael
Published: June 2023

Maintaining order at the tissue level is crucial throughout the lifespan, as failure can lead to cancer and an accumulation of molecular and cellular disorders. We argue here that the most consistent and pervasive result of these failures is aging, which is characterized by the progressive loss of function and decline in the abilityn to maintain anatomical homeostasis and reproduce. This leads to organ malfunction, diseases, and ultimately death. The traditional understanding of aging is that it is caused by accumulation of molecular and cellular damage resulting from energy metabolism and mitochondrial function, and that cell growth and lifespan are limited by replicative senescence due to shortening of telomeres. In this article, we propose a complementary view of aging as a morphostasis defect, specifically driven by abrogation of the endogenous bioelectric signaling that normally harness individual cell behaviors toward the creation and upkeep of complex multicellular structures in vivo. We first present bioelectricity as the software of life, then in a second part we identify and discuss the links between bioelectricity and rejuvenation strategies and age-related diseases, and develop a bridge between aging and regeneration via bioelectric signaling that suggests a research program for addressing aging. In a third part, we discuss the broader implications of the homologies between development, aging, cancer and regeneration. In a fourth part, we present the morphoceuticals for aging and we conclude.

From space-time landslide susceptibility to landslide risk forecast
Authors: Wang Tengfei , Dahal Ashok , Fang Zhice , van Westen Cees , Yin Kunlong , Lombardo Luigi
Published: June 2023

The literature on landslide susceptibility is rich with examples that span a large number of topics. However, the component that pertains to the extension of the susceptibility framework toward space-time modeling is largely unexplored. This statement is even more valid when looking at the landslide risk context, where hardly any scientific contribution investigates risk dynamics in space and time. This manuscript proposes a modeling protocol where a dynamic landslide susceptibility is obtained via a binomial Generalized Additive Model whose inventories span nine years (from 2013 to 2021). To perform the analyses, the data cube is organized with a mapping unit made of slope units (26,333) repeated over an annual temporal unit (for a total of 236,997). This phase already features a number of interesting modeling experiments that have hardly appeared in the landslide literature (e.g., variable interaction plots). However, the main innovative effort is in the subsequent phase of the protocol we propose, for we used climate projections of the main trigger (rainfall) to obtain future estimates of yearly susceptibility patterns. These are also combined with the projection of urban settlements and associated populations to obtain a dynamic risk model (under the assumption that vulnerability = 1). Overall, this is a unique example of such a modeling routine and a potential standard to be followed for administrations to make informed decisions on future urban development.
A Genetically Informed Longitudinal Study of Early-Life Temperament and Childhood Aggression
Authors: Penichet Eric , Beam Christopher , Luczak Susan , Davis Deborah
Published: June 2023

The present study examined the longitudinal associations between three dimensions of temperament - activity, affect-extraversion, and task orientation - and childhood aggression. Using 131 monozygotic and 173 dizygotic (86 same-sex) twin pairs from the Louisville Twin Study, we elucidated the ages, from 6 to 36 months, at which each temperament dimension began to correlate with aggression at age 7. We employed latent growth modeling to show that developmental increases (i.e., slopes) in activity were positively associated with aggression, whereas increases in affect-extraversion and task orientation were negatively associated with aggression. Genetically informed models revealed that correlations between temperament and aggression were explained by common genetic variance until 30 months, after which nonshared environmental variance accounted for a small proportion of the correlations. Genetic variance explained the correlations of the slopes of activity and task orientation with aggression. Nonshared environmental variance accounted for almost half of the correlation between the slope of affect-extraversion and aggression. Exploratory analyses revealed quantitative sex differences in each temperament-aggression association. By establishing which dimensions of temperament correlate with aggression, as well as when and how they do so, our work informs the development of future child and family interventions for children at highest risk of aggression.
Beyond Metacognition: The Dominant Role of the General Factor of Personality in Learning Adaptation
Authors: Wu Peiqian
Published: June 2023

The notions of metacognition and ego-resiliency seemed to commonly represent an ability to adaptively adjust self-control to fit the requirements of environments. The former presents a general mechanism of adaptive adjustment while the latter presents a specific example of learning activity. As ego-resiliency was almost fully indicated by the General Factor of Personality (GFP) as the literature suggested, the present study tested the relationship between the GFP and metacognition and then compared their influences on learning adaptability. As found, the GFP highly overlapped with overall metacognition (r = .69). Within three dimensions of metacognition, metacognitive skills correlated with the GFP much higher than metacognitive knowledge and experience, suggesting that the GFP is more linked with the application of metacognition in learning. By comparison, the GFP displayed much higher correlations with metacognitive skills and experience as well as learning adaptation than any Big Five traits, showing its incremental power in correlation with those variables. More importantly, in the mediation model, the GFP was found to be the root reason for the outcomes of learning adaptation and accounted for most of the impact of metacognition on learning adaptation. With these findings, the limitations of the present study and suggestions for future studies were discussed.
ERP correlates of self-referential processing moderate association between pubertal status and disordered eating in preadolescence
Authors: Liu Pan , Tan Jaron Xe Yung
Published: June 2023

Objective: Preadolescence is a critical period for the onset of puberty and eating-related psychopathology. More advanced pubertal status is associated with elevated eating pathology. However, it was unclear whether this association was moderated by self-referential processing, an important, modifiable cognitive risk for various forms of psychopathology, including eating problems. Further, no study has examined the neural correlates of self-referential processing in relation to eating pathology. Method: We examined how the association between pubertal status and disordered eating was moderated by self-referential processing in a community sample of 115 nine-to-12-year-old preadolescents (66 girls; Mean age/SD =10.98/1.18 years; 87.5% White). Youths reported their pubertal status and disordered eating behaviors and completed an ERP version of the Self-Referent Encoding Task (SRET) to assess self-referential processing. A Principal Component Analysis of the ERP data identified an anterior late positive potential (LPP) in both the positive and negative SRET conditions. Results: The LPP in the positive condition moderated the positive association between pubertal status and disordered eating behaviors, such that this association was significant for youths with a smaller LPP toward positive self-referential cues, but non-significant for those showing a larger LPP toward positive self-referential cues. Conclusions: These results suggest that a deeper processing of positive self-referential information, indicated by a potentiated LPP, may weaken the negative impact of pubertal status on disordered eating. Our findings also suggest that enhancing positive self-referential processing may be a useful tool in preventing the development of eating pathology in preadolescents, especially for those with more advanced pubertal status.
Self-treatment of parental neglect-induced mixed anxiety and depressive disorder with psilocybin – A retrospective case study
Authors: Turkia Mika
Published: June 2023

This article presents the case of a young woman in her mid-twenties with a history of depression since childhood. She lived with a mother who failed to take care of her. The patient cared for the emotional needs of the mother instead of the mother caring for the daughter's needs. Her father was mostly absent. Already around the age of thirteen, the patient was severely depressed and was self-harming without anyone interfering with it. Eventually, her parents divorced when she was fourteen. Since then, she and her younger brother lived practically on their own for several years. She was 'unable to either recognize or process' her feelings, and assumed that she was supposed to 'serve others'. At the age of twenty, she moved in with a severely traumatized boyfriend. Compared to his, her childhood appeared 'very happy'. She was 'disconnected from her feelings' and 'could not understand what was wrong'. As she enrolled in a higher education facility, comparisons with other students made her realize that her own upbringing differed from theirs. She was unable to verbalize her problem, and the student healthcare system did not recommend psychotherapy for her. She was prescribed escitalopram, but it 'never worked'. Cannabis somewhat alleviated anxiety but led to passivity. Eventually, she tried psilocybin mushrooms. In the course of two years, she carried out four sessions with lower doses, and three sessions with conventional psychedelic doses of psilocybin. Subsequently, she considered her depression resolved. The mushrooms 'did not provide a swift solution' but 'played a major role' in the resolution of her depression. They enabled her to see that the root of her depression was in her adverse childhood experiences. Later, 'setting boundaries' and 'doing things as she wished' provided 'significant relief'. After this, she was also granted psychotherapy, which she utilized for 'psychedelic integration'. This case, along with previous case studies on the same approach, demonstrates that unsupervised self-treatment is a feasible, cost-effective, and relatively simple method, which could enable societies to overcome the cost and resource crisis of mental health care.
The singularities as ontological limits of the general relativity
Authors: Sfetcu Nicolae
Published: June 2023

The singularities from the general relativity resulting by solving Einstein's equations were and still are the subject of many scientific debates: Are there singularities in spacetime, or not? Big Bang was an initial singularity? If singularities exist, what is their ontology? Is the general theory of relativity a theory that has shown its limits in this case?In this essay I argue that there are singularities, and the general theory of relativity, as any other scientific theory at present, is not valid for singularities. But that does not mean, as some scientists think, that it must be regarded as being obsolete.After a brief presentation of the specific aspects of Newtonian classical theory and the special theory of relativity, and a brief presentation of the general theory of relativity, the chapter Ontology of General Relativity presents the ontological aspects of general relativity. The next chapter, Singularities, is dedicated to the presentation of the singularities resulting in general relativity, the specific aspects of the black holes and the event horizon, including the Big Bang debate as original singularity, and arguments for the existence of the singularities. In Singularity Ontology, I am talking about the possibilities of ontological framing of singularities in general and black holes in particular, about the hole argument highlighted by Einstein, and the arguments presented by scientists that there are no singularities and therefore that the general theory of relativity is in deadlock. In Conclusions I outline and summarize briefly the arguments that support my above views.
Friends Against Humanity: Friendship Dissolution and Polarized Fears After the 2016 US Presidential Election
Authors: Leavitt Alex , Berry George
Published: June 2023

In the United States, affective polarization has been increasing for decades, leading to concerns that it negatively impacts social ties and society. These impacts may then spill over to other types of perceived instability, fostering a cycle of polarization. This paper examines friendship loss in polarized times by studying how self-reported friendship loss as a result of the 2016 Presidential election relates to perceived threat of civil war in the United States. Drawing on a nationally- representative poll conducted by the party game Cards Against Humanity (yep, that card game), this paper’s analysis shows how the dissolution of friendships during and after the 2016 Presidential election relates strongly to fears of civil war at the national level, controlling for demographic and lifestyle factors. These findings have implications for understanding how environments with intense political polarization may drive directional effects between social fracture and concerns about violence, particularly in contemporary American culture.
Demographic Methods
Authors: Lariscy Joseph
Published: June 2023

Demography is the study of human populations and how they change in size and composition through fertility, mortality, and migration. Demographic methods are the descriptive and modeling techniques used to measure and understand population size, change, composition, and distribution. Population scientists draw data from censuses, vital statistics systems, administrative records, and social surveys. Demographic models can estimate population processes for nations with incomplete censuses or vital statistics systems, adjust for inaccurate data (such as age misreporting), and forecast population trajectories into the future. The information produced with demographic methods informs researchers and policymakers about current and future demands for education, employment, housing, healthcare, and retirement funding.

Consistency Of Definition Of Orthogonality In A Partial Metric Induced By A Metric
Authors: Hafiizh Mochammad , Puspita Dewi Nila , Sisworo  , Hasanah Dahliatul
Published: June 2023

An extension of the metric space in which the distance of the same point is not always zero is called a partial metric space. Orthogonality is the relation of two perpendicular lines at one point of intersection forming a right angle. There are several ways to define orthogonality, including Pythagorean Orthogonality, Isosceles Orthogonality, and Birkhoff-James Orthogonality. The purpose of this research is to study the consistency of the definition of orthogonality in the metric space to the partial metric space. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the partial metric space can be obtained by linear induction from a metric space. Then, in developing the definition of orthogonality to the partial metric space, it can be concluded that the qualified orthogonality is the I-orthogonality and the BJ-orthogonality, while the P-orthogonality does not qualify the consistency of the definition of orthogonality in the partial metric space.
