Authors: Mehtap Bekir
Published: August 2024

In the study, the effects of physical education and sports activities on the motor skills of preschool children were examined. Physical education and sports activities in the form of educational games were applied to 30 pre-school students aged 5 (n = 15) and 6 years (n = 15), 2 days a week and 30 minutes for 12 weeks. Physical education and sports activities; While it included walking, running, jumping and balance exercises, materials such as balls, ropes, funnels and hoops were used. The study was organized according to the pretest and posttest method. Children's motor skills were evaluated by applying motor performance tests developed by Morris, Atwater Williams and Wilmore (1980) that included balance, agility, running, catching, standing long jump and throwing criteria. The data obtained with the pretest and posttest method were analyzed by using the SPSS 23.0 statistical program and applying the t test (Paired-Sample t test) for dependent samples between the tests. According to the findings, a statistically significant improvement was noted in all motor performance criteria (p<0.05). It was determined that the lowest performance improvement occurred in the quickness skill with a rate of 7.80%, and the highest improvement occurred in the catching skill with a rate of 19.57%. In conclusion; It can be said that physical education and sports activities can positively contribute to the development of motor skills of children aged 5-6. However, it should be examined whether the positive development observed in children's motor performance occurs as a result of the natural course of growth processes or as the positive contribution of physical education and sports movements.
Unbroken Spirit
Authors: Camacho Angélica
Published: August 2024

In 2011 and 2013 California prisoners rose in protest of the conditions of confinement in Security Housing Units (SHU) and launched a series of hunger strikes that would disrupt business as usual for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR). This article discusses the SHU prisoners’ resilient spirit and their refusal to exist within the confines of their isolated captivity and prison walls. Through Clyde Woods’s frameworks of “asset stripping” and “enclosures” I discuss how Pelican Bay, designed as a prison within a prison, can then be understood as an enclosure within an enclosure. I argue that the SHU was designed to fully strip incarcerated men of all assets and achieve incapacitation in order to eliminate any threat of prisoners’ collective organizational power. Despite the SHU’s highly developed forms of surveillance and psychological torture, many prisoners refused to concede and have their spirits broken. Instead, they relied on camaraderie to regenerate their spirit and build the communal power to resist carceral state violence.

Published: August 2024

Introduction: The labia majora border the vestibule and are about 3 mm thick. Mucous in appearance, they tend to atrophy after the menopause. In adults, they often protrude beyond the vulval slit (50%). However, in some cases, they extend beyond the labia majora without any prior action having been taken. Case report: The case we report concerns a 21-year-old, single, non-virgin woman who consulted for discomfort when walking and wearing tight clothing such as pants. She reported no discomfort during intercourse as reported in the literature. Examination revealed a slightly edematous vulva and nymphs protruding 2.5 cm beyond the labia majora. After unsuccessful clothing advice, the final treatment proposed was a reduction of the labia minora. A preoperative work-up based on rhesus blood grouping, haemogram, prothrombin level, cephalin-Kaolin time, creatininaemia and fasting glycaemia, all of which came back normal, enabled the labia minora to be reduced according to the patient's wishes, with an incision leaving a roughly triangular area. The post-operative course was straightforward, with normal healing times. The patient was able to resume her activities and wear tight pants without pain three months after the operation. Conclusion: The difficulties caused by exuberant labia minora are a reality. In our Senegalese context, talking about sex is taboo, which makes it a rare reason for consultation.
Successful clinical pregnancy in a poor ovarian responder- A multipronged approach
Authors: Faraj Radwan , Palaniappan Yegu , Kasmi M
Published: August 2024

A 38-year-old woman presented with secondary infertility persisting for four years, having previously conceived a child twelve years ago. Her medical history included bilateral ovarian cystectomies due to large dermoids. Investigations revealed a significantly reduced ovarian reserve, indicated by an AMH level of 0.50 ng/mL and FSH of 15. Her partner demonstrated satisfactory semen parameters. Initial attempts at ovarian stimulation with clomiphene citrate were unsuccessful, prompting a transition to in vitro fertilization (IVF) due to the patient's age and diminished ovarian reserve. However, two IVF cycles with high dose gonadotrophins showed very poor response Diagnostic hysteroscopy revealed a normal uterine cavity but histological evidence of chronic endometritis, for which the patient underwent a 14-day course of doxycycline. In a novel approach, the patient opted for ovarian platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection, aiming for ovarian rejuvenation and improved response. Ultrasound-guided PRP injection was performed, administering two milliliters into each ovary. Following PRP therapy, a trial of ovulation induction with Letrozole resulted in the development of one dominant follicle, though subsequent ovulation trigger with hCG did not lead to pregnancy. Laparoscopic evaluation revealed bilateral periovarian adhesions, with the right fallopian tube densely adhered to the pelvic sidewall. Surgically, successfully mobilized adhesion, confirming tubal patency. Both ovaries exhibited reduced size, particularly the left ovary. A second round of PRP injection was administered laparoscopically into each ovary. One month post-laparoscopy, ovarian stimulation with Letrozole resulted in the development of a single follicle, followed by ovulation trigger with hCG and IUI. Subsequent confirmation of pregnancy via transvaginal ultrasound marked a successful outcome. The success of this case represents a combination of treatment strategies, including ovarian factor rejuvenation with PRP, selecting an appropriate stimulation regime and IUI, improving uterine receptivity by treating chronic endometritis, and performing tubolysis to confirm bilateral tubal patency followed by timed IUI.

Published: August 2024

Like many island communities, residents of the Orkney Islands, Scotland are acutely aware of the urban-rural dynamic at play in our ever-globalised world. This character-driven film comes as a contribution to an ongoing conversation – one concerning healthcare provision for ageing residents of the archipelago’s non-linked isles. It understands this geographical disparity in light of globalisation and the way in which space is perceived from various perspectives of centrality, rurality and mobility. The film follows a summer in the lives of three locals with the intention to re-centre the discourse around healthcare provision and provide an image of the island experience for non-local decision-makers. The camera’s power to listen moves the story onto deeper universal topics of ageing and dying.
Flâneurs - Street Rambles
Authors: Lancit Matthew
Published: August 2024

Between film projects and following the birth of his daughter, a Canadian in Paris (Matthew Lancit) must confront his slacker lifestyle and decide if there is something in it worth passing on to the next generation, or if he is better off getting a job. In search of the remaining traces of flâneurs (19th Century wanderers of Paris), he takes his daughter on a series of poetic strolls in which he assumes the role of a contemporary flâneur and crosses the path of people who help reveal the relevance of such a figure today. In the movement back and forth between the filmed streets of Paris and scenes from the domestic life of a young father, a dialectic emerges between a baby experiencing and making sense of the world and these wandering men trying to do the same.

Authors: Ma Ximiao , Cao Yiqiu , Yang Dongpeng , Dong Zhu , Wang Xiaowu
Published: August 2024

Pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) dysfunction is the central pathogenic mechanism in pulmonary hypertension (PH). This study explored the mechanism of action of RUNX1, a potential therapeutic target for PH, in PASMCs. A PH mouse model was used to investigate the impacts of RUNX1 knockdown on hemodynamics, right ventricular hypertrophy (RVH), and pulmonary artery remodeling (hematoxylin–eosin [H&E] staining). Isolated PASMCs were transfected with RUNX1- or chromobox 5 (CBX5)-related vectors and then subjected to cell function assays. Immunoprecipitation was used to detect molecular binding and ubiquitination. RUNX1 knockdown reduced right ventricular systolic pressure (RVSP), RVH, and pulmonary artery remodeling in mice with PH. Knockdown of RUNX1 or CBX5 suppressed proliferation, invasion, and migration and stimulated apoptosis in PASMCs under hypoxia. RUNX1 enhanced ubiquitin-specific protease 15 (USP15) promoter activity. USP15 bound to CBX5 and reduced CBX5 ubiquitination, thereby promoting CBX5 expression. CBX5 overexpression promoted the proliferation and movement of hypoxic PASMCs with reduced RUNX1 expression and decreased their apoptosis. In conclusion, RUNX1 knockdown inhibits USP15 transcription to promote the ubiquitination and degradation of CBX5, thereby alleviating PH in mice and reducing hypoxia-induced PASMC dysfunction.
History education research in Türkiye: A bibliometric analysis based on WOS and Scopus data (2000-2023)
Authors: Bozkurt Erkan
Published: August 2024

This study aims to exhibit a bibliometric analysis of history education research in Türkiye. A total of 127 documents from 70 sources indexed in the Web of Science and Scopus databases in the years 2000-2023 were used in the analysis. The analysis provides a review of history education research in Türkiye by identifying the dynamics of research by presenting a wide in-depth knowledge concerning the periodical process, current situation, and future directions. Since 2006, history education studies in Türkiye have become more visible in the relevant databases. The annual increase rate of the studies was determined as 8.49 percent. Among the 127 documents accessed, research articles are the most common with a total of 104 articles. From the analysis, it could be said that history education research in Türkiye is mostly conducted in Turkish journals and by Turkish authors. Compared to international literature in history education, studies on ‘historical consciousness’ in Türkiye that were indexed in WOS and Scopus databases were found to be rare in the analysis. Despite this, it is observed that new approaches have started to be studied within the framework of concepts such as 'oral history', 'postmodernism', and 'museum education' in history education studies originating from Türkiye that were indexed in WOS and Scopus databases. In the analysis, it has been observed that although academic studies in qualified databases originating from Türkiye in the field of history education are not sufficient, they have been on an increasing trend in recent years.

Published: August 2024

Penyelidikan ini dijalankan untuk mengkaji kesan penggantian kecil Ca terhadap sifat feroelektrik seramik (Ba1-xCax)(Zr0.025Ti0.975)O3 (BCZT). Seramik BCZT disediakan menggunakan kaedah tindak balas keadaan pepejal dan disinter pada suhu 1350 °C selama 2 jam. Analisis XRD menunjukkan semua seramik BCZT mempunyai fasa tunggal yang stabil dengan struktur hablur tetragon. Walaupun seramik Ba(Zr0.025Ti0.975)O3 (BZT) tulen (x = 0.000) menunjukkan ketumpatan tertinggi iaitu 98.0%, saiz butiran yang paling besar diperoleh bagi seramik BCZT dengan komposisi x = 0.025. Seramik BCZT dengan penggantian Ca yang terendah menunjukkan sifat piezoelektrik dan feroelektrik yang lebih baik berbanding seramik dengan kandungan Ca yang lebih tinggi. Ujian medan elektrik berulang menunjukkan kestabilan dinamik serta sifat kebangkitan bagi seramik BCZT dengan x = 0.025 dan 0.050.

Published: August 2024

Penyelidikan ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji potensi penggunaan semula sisa plastik polistirena (PS) dalam sintesis membran polimer untuk aplikasi rawatan air sisa. Penyelidikan ini dipicu oleh kebimbangan global mengenai pencemaran plastik dan keperluan untuk mencari alternatif yang lebih mampan dalam pengelolaan sisa plastik. Dengan menggabungkan PS dengan nanozarah TiO2, penyelidikan ini mengkaji pengaruh jenis pelarut (N-metil-2-pirrolidona (NMP) dan N,N-dimetilasetamida (DMAc)) serta kepekatan TiO2 (0.025-0.100 g/L) terhadap sifat dan prestasi membran yang dihasilkan. Membran polimer PS disintesis melalui kaedah penyongsangan fasa. Sifat membran seperti sudut sentuhan, keliangan dan saiz liang dianalisis untuk pencirian membran, manakala prestasi membran seperti fluks resapan, keupayaan penolakan terhadap asid humik diuji dengan menggunakan sistem penapisan membran buntu. Keputusan kajian menunjukkan bahawa jenis pelarut dan kepekatan TiO2 mempengaruhi sifat membran yang dihasilkan. Membran yang disintesis menggunakan NMP sebagai pelarut menunjukkan fluks resapan yang lebih tinggi, manakala DMAc memberikan keupayaan penolakan yang lebih tinggi terhadap asid humik. Penambahan TiO2 meningkatkan sifat hidrofilik membran yang mendorong kepada penembusan molekul air melalui matriks membran, tetapi juga berpotensi mengurangkan fluks resapan jika kepekatan TiO2 terlalu tinggi. Kesimpulannya, kajian ini menunjukkan potensi besar dalam penggunaan semula sisa plastik PS untuk pembuatan membran polimer untuk aplikasi rawatan air sisa. Dengan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang faktor yang mempengaruhi sifat membran, kita dapat memperbaiki reka bentuk membran untuk meningkatkan prestasi dalam aplikasi penapisan air. Ini memberikan sumbangan yang signifikan kepada usaha global dalam mengurangkan pencemaran plastik dan menyediakan sumber air yang bersih dan mampan.

Catfish is a widely cultivated freshwater fish because of its quick and easy farming and stable market price. Catfish is consumed by frying, grilling, or processing into meatballs, nuggets, shredded meat, and fish sticks. This study aimed to assess the best treatment for different parts of catfish used to make fish sticks based on their calcium and phosphorus content. A Completely Randomized Design (CRD) was employed with three treatments: minced catfish (MC), HFC (head and fishbone catfish (HFC), and WGGC (whole gilled and gutted catfish (WGGC). The parameters analyzed included proximate, calcium, and phosphorus content. The tests showed significantly different results (p<0.05) in terms of moisture, ash, fat, carbohydrate, calcium, and phosphorus content of the three treatments. Meanwhile, the protein content of fish sticks in this study was not significantly different, namely 10.67-10.92%. Fish sticks made from gilled and gutted whole fish (meat and bones) had a calcium content of 0.68±0.02% and a phosphorus content of 0.083±0.00%, thus having the potential to be an alternative processed product with minimal waste (zero-waste).
