Misconceptions about neuroscience – prevalence and persistence of neuromyths in education
Authors: Grospietsch Finja , Mayer Jürgen
Published: June 2020

Brain-friendly learning is a new catchphrase in school and university instructional practice. However, it often escapes the notice of the teachers and learners involved that neurodidactics is not simply a plausible concept – it can also be a myth if applied incorrectly. Numerous international studies show that both pre-service and in-service teachers as well as university educators endorse misconceptions on the topic of learning and the brain and orient their didactic conception on so-called neuromyths. This paper presents nine neuromyths on the topic of learning and memory. Based on a review of the current research, we discuss what determines their emergence and prevalence, to what extent neuromyths pose a problem for practice, and why and how both neurodidactics and neuromyths should be made an object of university instruction.
Mitmenschlichkeit
Authors: Dalferth Ingolf U.
Published: June 2020

Der Aufsatz argumentiert, dass die entscheidende anthropologische Frage für die Theologie nicht die ist, was Menschen von allen übrigen Lebewesen unterscheidet, sondern was Menschen, die menschlich leben, von denen unterscheidet, die das nicht tun. Diese Frage weist über die gängige Alternative von Metaphysik und Moral ebenso hinaus wie über die zeitgenössischen Versuche, die Einsichten christlicher Theologie im Gespräch mit den Wissenschaften zur Geltung zu bringen. Das christliche Ideal der Humanität ist als Leitgedanke christlichen Lebens aus der konkreten Lebenspraxis und Lebensorientierung der Christen zu entfalten. Die Pointe dieser Lebensorientierung ist nicht die Ausrichtung an bestimmten Werten, sondern an Idealen des Göttlichen, des Weltlichen und des Menschlichen. Diese Ideale sind keine metaphysischen Prinzipien oder moralischen Werte, sondern kritische Orientierungsmaßstäbe christlicher Lebenspraxis, die sich als eine je spezifische Verknüpfung von Gottverstehen, Sichselbstverstehen und Weltverstehen analysieren lassen, die ihrerseits nur in kritischer Auseinandersetzung mit dem Gottverstehen, Sichselbstverstehen und Weltverstehen anderer entwickelt werden können.
Loke on the Abstractist/Concretist Christological Distincton: A Semantic Problem or a Metaphysical Problem?
Authors: Farris Joshua R.
Published: June 2020

Originating from the Evangelical Philosophical Society’s Panel Discussion at the American Academy of Religion 2017 on themes in Andrew Loke’s Christological work, Kryptic Christology, the present article isolates one important issue that began as discussion in Neue Zeitschrift für Systematische Theologie und Religionsphilosophie between James Arcadi and Andrew Loke on the nature of Christ’s human nature according to abstractism and concretism. Upon summarizing the debate, I make two claims. After I take a fresh look at the state of the analytic Christological literature, I, first, suggest that Loke is not consistent with the common descriptions of abstractism/concretism as stated in the analytic literature. And, second, I argue, based on Loke’s own words, that he confuses a metaphysical distinction with a semantic distinction.
Deepened Monotheism. Philosophical Reasoning on the Trinity in Western Early Medieval and Classic Arabic Theology
Authors: König Katrin
Published: June 2020

Christian theologians can explain the Trinitarian faith today in dialogue with Islamic thinkers as “deepened monotheism”. Therefore it is important to widen the systematic-theological discourse in an ecumenical and transcultural perspective and to retrieve resources from Western and non-Western traditions of Trinitarian thought (I).

In this paper I will first work out historically that the Trinitarian creed of Nicea and Constantinople was originally an ecumenical but non-Western creed (II). Afterwards, I investigate the philosophical-theological reflection on the Trinity by Anselm of Canterbury (1033–1109) in the context of early interreligious encounters in the Latin West. Based on biblical, augustinian and Greek sources, he developed an approach to understand the mystery of the Trinity by rational arguments as “deepened monotheism” (III). Then I will proceed to explore the philosophical-theological dialogues on the Trinity from the Arabic philosopher and Syrian-orthodox theologian Yaḥyā ibn ‘Adī (893–974). Much earlier he developed rational arguments for the Triunity of God with reference to Aristotle. Thereby he answers to anti-trinitarian arguments from Islamic thinkers like al-Kindī and al-Warrāq. He intends that the Trinitarian faith of Christian minorities can thereby be understood and tolerated by Islamic thinkers as rationally founded “deepened monotheism” (IV).

In the end I will evaluate what these classics from the Western and non-western traditions of Trinitarian thought contribute to explicate the doctrine of the Trinity today in a pluralistic religious context as “deepened monotheism” (V).
That damn financial crisis: A turning point in the linguistic integration of the migrant population?
Authors: Valero-Garcés Carmen
Published: June 2020

Spain’s sluggish recovery from the financial crisis of the past decade, changing domestic and international politics, armed conflicts and natural disasters, all constitute factors that prompt migration and lead to significant changes in the composition of society. The main objective of this article is to compare and contrast the level of linguistic integration of the migrant population at two different moments during the twenty-first century. The study is focused mainly on central Spain and two specific public-service settings: police and health care. A descriptive–comparative method is used to observe, collect and analyze data and describe and compare them to previous studies. A quantitative and qualitative approach is followed. The results indicate that the situation has changed only slightly over the past two decades. Communication between immigrants and public-service providers is still far from fluent, and the financial crisis has negatively affected the development of public service interpreting and translation.
Averting Curses in the Law of War (Deuteronomy 20)
Authors: Quick Laura
Published: June 2020

This essay explores the military exemption of Deut 20:5–7 in light of the futility curse in Deut 28:30. By uncovering the social and ritual contexts of the futility curse, I argue that Deut 20:5–7 can be productively understood as a warfare ritual against the curse. I explore the ritual dimensions of Deut 20:5–7 in light of rituals for avoiding curses and maledictions from the ancient Near East, arguing that the original Sitz im Leben of these verses can be found in a pre-war ritual responding to the hegemonic aims of enemies as this crystallized in the inscriptional and ritual contexts of ancient warfare.
›Writing on the Heart‹ in Jeremiah 31:31–34 in Light of Recent Insights into the Oral-Written Interface and Scribal Education in Ancient Israel
Authors: Krause Joachim J.
Published: June 2020

The interpretation of the »new covenant« in Jer 31:31–34 hinges on how to understand Yhwh’s promise to write his Torah on the heart of the Israelites. According to a widely held view, the latter aims at abrogating the institutions of the book of the Torah and its handing down by means of teaching and learning. From this point of view, Jer 31:31–34 seems to exhibit a decidedly anti-Deuteronomistic outlook. In the present article, this view is confronted with more recent insights into the oral-written interface and its role in scribal education, the basic assumption being that such education is the lifeworld presupposition behind the promise of writing on the heart.
Green synthesis of cobalt oxide nanoparticles using Citrus medica leaves extract: characterization and photo-catalytic activity
Authors: Siddique Mohsin , Khan Noor Muhammad , Saeed Muhammad , Ali Sajid , Shah Zarbad
Published: June 2020

The study deals with the green and eco-friendly synthesis and characterization of cobalt oxide nanoparticles using leaf extract of Citrus medica plant. The crystalline nature and functional groups analysis of cobalt oxide Nps was confirmed by X-ray diffraction and diffused reflectance infra-red spectroscopy respectively. The band gap of the Nps was calculated using Tauc plot. Scanning microscope analysis was carried out to get an insight to the structural morphology of the catalyst. The catalyst was found to be very active for the degradation of methyl orange dye using a very small amount of catalyst (0.006 g) using ultra violet radiation source. Approximately, 90% of the dye (Initial Conc. 10 mg L−1) was degraded in 60 min at natural pH (6.5). The dye degradation increased with increase in pH of the solution, due to the enhanced production of OH radicals, at higher pH values. Different experimental parameters like catalyst amount, agitation speed, initial pH of the solution, initial concentration of dye and recycling of the catalyst were varied to test the performance of the catalyst.
Photo-induced effects on amorphous and liquid selenium by pulsed laser illumination
Authors: Sakaguchi Yoshifumi , Tamura Kozaburo
Published: June 2020

Amorphous and liquid selenium exhibit interesting photo-induced changes due to photo-flexibility of lone-pair semiconductors. This study conducts a detailed investigation of the photo-structural changes in amorphous and liquid selenium. We performed photo-induced optical absorption measurement of amorphous and liquid selenium using a nanosecond pulsed laser with a weak intensity of 1.0 mJ/pulse. The measurement indicated photo-induced absorption in the time region from 10−7 to 10−2 s in both amorphous and liquid selenium, which is referred to as fast photodarkening. This suggests a local structural change around a Se atom, such as a formation of three-fold coordination, which produces branched chains in the network, and deviations in the bond angle and dihedral angles. Durable photodarkening, which is semi-permanently preserved after prolonged light illumination, can be attributed to the local structure; however, it also requires an extended network structure. Our findings yield a profound insight into a variety of photo-induced structural changes in a network of selenium chains.
Metallography and Computed Tomography Analysis of the Shrinkage Cavity Formed in Advanced High-Strength Steel Resistance Spot Welds
Authors: Vijayan Vijeesh , Murugan Siva Prasad , Son Seong-Guk , Park Yeong-Do
Published: June 2020

Among various defects formed in resistance spot welds (RSW), voids or cavities formed at the center of the nugget are scarcely studied. However, it is widely accepted that such cavities significantly influence the mechanical properties of the spots, especially in advanced high-strength steels (AHSS). Nonavailability of a proper characterization technique to quantify these cavities is one of the reasons for less research in this area. Although conventional metallographic analysis portrays cavities in the nugget, the associated destructive sampling results in erroneous interpretation. To date, there is no reliable technique to quantify the size, shape, and distribution of the voids in the nugget. In this context, the present study uses a computed tomography (CT) technique to visualize and quantify the cavities in spot-welded AHSS nuggets. The images obtained using a CT scan provide a new insight into the cavity and its characteristics, such as volume and surface topology. According to the CT results, the voids formed in AHSS spots increase with the increase in base metal yield strength. Furthermore, the CT results also reveal that the conventional critical diameter of 4 × thickness1/2 to obtain plug failure in RSW is not valid for AHSS spots because of the influence of the cavity in the faying interface.
Comparison of Segmentation Algorithms for Detecting Myocardial Infarction Using Late Gadolinium Enhancement Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Authors: Sun Yibo , Deng Dongdong , Sun Liping , He Yi , Wang Hui , Dong Jianzeng
Published: June 2020

Objective: The aim of this study was to validate the accuracy of a new automatic method for scar segmentation and compare its performance with that of two other frequently used segmentation algorithms.

Methods: Twenty-six late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance images of diseased hearts were segmented by the full width at half maximum (FWHM) method, the n standard deviations (nSD) method, and our new automatic method. The results of the three methods were compared with the consensus ground truth obtained by manual segmentation of the ventricular boundaries.

Results: Our automatic method yielded the highest Dice score and the lowest volume difference compared with the consensus ground truth segmentation. The nSD method produced large variations in the Dice score and the volume difference. The FWHM method yielded the lowest Dice score and the greatest volume difference compared with the automatic, 6SD, and 8SD methods, but resulted in less variation when different observers segmented the images.

Conclusion: The automatic method introduced in this study is highly reproducible and objective. Because it requires no manual intervention, it may be useful for processing large datasets produced in clinical applications.
Beautiful Beach Bodies and Muscle Heads
Authors: Fair John D.
Published: June 2020

Uneasily situated between counterculture images projected by James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause (1955) and the dawning of the “Age of Aquarius” a decade later, there emerged a motion picture interlude of innocence on the beaches of Southern California. It was fostered by Gidget (1959) and then thirty “surf and sex” movies that focused on young, attractive bodies and beach escapades rather than serious social causes.The films, argues Kirse May, “created an ideal teenage existence, marked by consumption, leisure, and little else.” Stephen Tropiano explains how their popularity helped shape “the archetypal image of the American teenager” and, reinforced by the surfin' sounds of Jan and Dean, the Beach Boys, and other recording groups, “turned America's attention to the Southern California coastline,” where “those who never set foot on its sandy shores were led to believe that life on the West Coast was a twenty-four-hour beach party.” This study examines a notable film of this genre to determine how musclemen were exploited to exhibit this playful spirit and how their negative reception reinforced an existing disregard toward physical culture. Muscle Beach Party illustrates how physical culture served other agendas, namely the need to address American fears of juvenile delinquency and to revive sagging box-office receipts within the guise of the “good life” of California.
“Hear That Lonesome [Police] Whistle Blow”
Authors: Orsi Richard J.
Published: June 2020

When introduced in the nineteenth century, railroads were one of humankind's most transformational technologies. Like similar transformations such as the printing press and the automobile, railroads did more than advance technology. They fundamentally altered the entire social and cultural fabric, including basic relationships between people and time, distance, geography, class, and gender. Railroads also introduced new types of crime and criminal organization to the nineteenth-century West, and indeed to the entire nation and globe. These criminal activities quickly spread across wide geographic expanses. Railroads and society at large responded by altering the measures of social control through new forms of law enforcement, only one of which was the creation of private railroad-company police forces. In our own era, similar revolutionary information and communications technologies erupted upon a cultural and institutional world woefully unprepared to deal with them. As was true for nineteenth-century railroading, the results today have been new, ever-evolving forms of crime that plague individuals, companies, institutions, and governments, while baffling ill-equipped law enforcement agencies. The internet spammers, hackers, phishers, stalkers, swindlers, pedophiles, money launderers, identity thieves, election fixers, and cyberterrorists of today share a lineage with the railroad pickpockets, arsonists, ticket forgers, train robbers and wreckers, and hatchet-wielding hoboes of yesterday. Examining the railroads' transformation of crime and violence can shed light on today's tribulations with information technology, as well as on possible ways to deal with them.
“A Black Future in the Air Industry?”
Authors: Porter Eric
Published: June 2020

This essay charts a history of black liberation and complicity in the struggle for economic advancement at San Francisco International Airport (SFO) from the late 1950s into the 1980s. Joining scholars who have explored commercial aviation as a site of black mobility and immobility as well as those who have theorized Black Power's intersections with municipal policymaking, labor organizing, business and community development projects, and affirmative action programs, I examine the spheres of airport employment and entrepreneurialism to show how struggles to overcome social and spatial confinement in the Bay Area were often shaped by the entanglements of heterogeneous actors and systems. Indeed, such efforts at SFO responded to and were made possible by shifting interfaces of public and private capital investment; government action and inaction; the work of local and national networks of business elites, labor organizers, and activists; the efforts of individual black people to make their lives better; and a concomitant symbolic economy regarding the black presence in the Bay Area. As this story concludes in the 1980s, it demonstrates that despite some successes, such struggles had advanced in the Bay Area only so far as offering a precarious and patchy inclusion: a kind of holding pattern characterized by piecemeal professional integration and the more widespread consignment of black men and women to low-wage, low-skilled work, intermittent employment, and unemployment.
Coal's Persistence in the Capitalist World-Economy
Authors: Gellert Paul K. , Ciccantell Paul S.
Published: June 2020

Predominant analyses of energy offer insufficient theoretical and political-economic insight into the persistence of coal and other fossil fuels. The dominant narrative of coal powering the Industrial Revolution, and Great Britain's world dominance in the nineteenth century giving way to a U.S.- and oil-dominated twentieth century, is marred by teleological assumptions. The key assumption that a complete energy “transition” will occur leads some to conceive of a renewable-energy-dominated twenty-first century led by China. After critiquing the teleological assumptions of modernization, ecological modernization, energetics, and even world-systems analysis of energy “transition,” this paper offers a world-systems perspective on the “raw” materialism of coal. Examining the material characteristics of coal and the unequal structure of the world-economy, the paper uses long-term data from governmental and private sources to reveal the lack of transition as new sources of energy are added. The increases in coal consumption in China and India as they have ascended in the capitalist world-economy have more than offset the leveling-off and decline in some core nations. A true global peak and decline (let alone full substitution) in energy generally and coal specifically has never happened. The future need not repeat the past, but technical, policy, and movement approaches will not get far without addressing the structural imperatives of capitalist growth and the uneven power structures and processes of long-term change of the world-system.
Mining the Sea
Authors: Clark Timothy P.
Published: June 2020

Using primary and secondary historical data, descriptive time-series data, and site observations, this study unpacks the developmental history of one of the United States' oldest, largest, and still working fisheries. This study uses narrative analysis to explore how processes of commodification and the institutional workings of capitalist food regimes drove specific developmental outcomes. Internal comparison across periods enables an analysis of why the fishery declined in recent decades. The case also reveals important dynamics of the capitalist world food system and demonstrates how intersectional considerations, particularly the intersection of race and class dynamics, can bolster the “tragedy of the commodity” theoretical framework. The study thus tests and expands on that framework by including the considerations of cross-cutting inequalities and the world food system. Overall, this study demonstrates how the demands of generalized commodity production, in conjunction with the institutional parameters of a world capitalist food system, link processes of development across terrestrial and aquatic food systems. Furthermore, the internal comparison elucidates the socio-structural factors that drove the severe decline of the 170-year-old Atlantic menhaden fishery.
The “Edelevsky” list of the “protective memory” of Tsar Ivan Vasilyevich to the Mordovian Princes and Murzes in 1572
Authors: Demidov Alexander N.
Published: June 2020

Introduction. The article considers the publication of a unique source for the history of the Mordovian people, the “protective memory” dated by 1572 addressed to the princes and Murzes of Mordovia. The “protective memory” is considered in comparison with the “romadanovsky” list belonging to the descendants of the Mordovian prince Romadan, seeking the return of the nobility, the non-criminal record of the Temnik-Kadom Mordva, published in the XVIII century, similar to the records of Tatar Sovereigns to the Temnik-Kadom Mordva.
Materials and methods. The author focused on studying the content of the source, revealing the identities of the recipients, analyzing the composition of the princes and Murz of Mordovian records, spelling of the names, origin, and family ties. The genealogy of the princes Edelevs is being reconstructed, the history of their kind is described together with the history of Mordovian Murzas and their representatives in the context of social and historical ties.
Results and discussion. The article describes the social situation of Princes Edelevs, the features of land ownership, land use, property and ownership of serfs. The article discusses the history of the discovery and use of the source in the clerical work of the aristocratic deputies’ assemblies and the Governing Senate at the request of the descendants of Mordovian princes and Muzes from the Edelev family to restore the rights of the noble state. It poses the problem of studying the social stratification in Mordovian society, the typology and origin of the Mordovian aristocracy, the peculiarities of the titling and inheritance of power, its role in the historical and social development of the Mordovian people, as well as its legal status in the Russian Empire. It compares the situation of the Temnikov-Kadom Mordovian Tarkhans, Cossacks, White Field and Alatyr princes and Mordovian Murzes, serving Mordovians and Tatars.
Conclusion. “Protective memory” indicates that in the XVI century there was a national Mordovian aristocracy, collaborating with Moscow and being in the service of Great Sovereigns, and subsequently becoming part of the nobility and other classes of Russian society. The choice of Mordovian princes ensured the relatively peaceful entry of Mordovian lands into the Russian Empire.
Historical and modern personality and image as an element of symbolic ethno-national capital of the Republic of Mordovia (2014–2019)
Authors: Napalkova Irina G. , Kurochkina Ksenija V.
Published: June 2020

Introduction. Active promotion and positioning of the regions is a condition of their competitiveness, which actualizes the study of imaging practices aimed at creating an attractive image of the territory for various target groups: from federal elites and large businesses to tourists, highly skilled migrants, and the population. The image is based on symbolic capital, which is unique for each region. For Mordovia as a Finno-Ugric Republic in Russia, being unique is associated, firstly, with the use of ethnic symbols (elements of a national costume, Moksha / Erzia embroidery, musical instruments, dishes of national cuisine, etc.). These ethnic symbols actualize “ethnic” memory, national traditions and customs. Secondly, it is associated with the inclusion in the information space of the symbols of regional “pride”, such as “successful” fellow country people, whose positive image stimulates the processes of consolidation and identification. The purpose of this article is to study historical and modern personalities and images used in the formation of image-based visualizations of the Republic of Mordovia.
Materials and methods. The methodology was based on the hermeneutic, axiological and communication paradigms. Among the applied methods such focus groups were included into the research as “Image of the Republic of Mordovia: symbols, brands, images”; content analysis of foreign, federal and regional mass media, which chronologically reviewed the publications from 2014 to 2019, etc.
Results and discussion. The most recognizable historical characters of Mordovia who resonate with the audience are F. Ushakov, S. Erzia, M. Devyataev. Among contemporaries whose images can present the region, there are the representatives of the politicals (V. D. Volkov, N. I. Merkushkin, P. N. Tultaev) and sports (O. Kaniskina, V. Borchin, S. Kirdyapkin).
Conclusion. Using famous names that have a weak or implicit reference to the territory does not always lead to a positive emotional response (especially among visitors), which ultimately reduces the significance of this symbolic element for the republican image and strengthens its counter-narrativeness.
The ethnic composition of the population of Prinevye area and the Southern Ladoga area at the end of the XV century
Authors: Chibisov Boris I.
Published: June 2020

Introduction. History of the North-West area of Novgorod land at the end of the XV century attracted the attention of researchers mainly in the socio-economic aspect. This is due to the fact that Novgorod scribal books are dated by the end of the XV century. From the standpoint of socio-economic history their value is not in doubt, but from an ethno-historical point their onomastic content is underestimated.
Materials and methods. The main source of research was the scribe book of the Vodskaya Pyatina 1499/1500. The descriptive method of research is to identify and record the Baltic-Finnish oikonyms (names of rural settlements) and anthroponyms mentioned in the scribe books. Baltic-Finnish anthroponyms are identified on the basis of an analysis of formal indicators of borrowing the anthroponyms.
Results and Discussion. There are several areas where the Baltic-Finnish oikonymy and anthroponymy were concentrated, namely Korboselsky graveyard in the northern Prinevye, Lopsky and Terebuzhsky graveyards in the southern Ladoga, as well as Dudorovsky and Izhora graveyards south of the Neva. Archaeological sources record a significant presence of the Izhora antiquities. The presence of Karelians is noted in the northern Prievye and southern Ladoga. Slavic onomastic materials are recorded throughout Orekhovsky and Ladoga counties, but to mostly in the cities of Oreshka, Ladoga and their nearest areas.
Conclusion. By the end of the XV century the north-western graveyards of Novgorod land were inhabited by representatives of various ethnic groups: Slavs, Vodians, Izhora and Karelians, as evidenced by the data of anthroponyms and toponyms of the scribe’s books and confirmed by archaeological sources.
Features of pre-scenography functioning in the ceremonial, ritual festive events of the Mordovians
Authors: Antipkina Elena N. , Prokaeva Olga N.
Published: June 2020

Introduction. Ritual, ceremonial and festive events of the Mordovians represent a sphere of concentration and representation of spiritual-moral and value-oriented views of the people. They contain the origins of theatre and scenography as types of art. However, they cannot be considered as independent types of art in its modern meaning, as they used to exist in forms of theatricalization (pretheater) and pre-scenography. The subject of the article is the specifics of the functioning of pre-scenography in ceremonial, ritual and festive events of the Mordovians, as well as the disclosure of its main types: character type, determination of the place of action and game type.
Materials and Methods. The theoretical materials are based on the research in the field of theatre and scenography. The reliability and academic validity of the research are ensured by the sociocultural approach, as well as by research methods, namely system-typological method, analytical method and interpretation method.
Results and Discussion. Having studied the functioning of pre-scenography in ritual, three types of ceremonial and festive events of the Mordovians are revealed. The character type included a variety of components: metaphorical image, nature phenomena and objects, anthropomorphic and zoomorphic images, as well as objects of material culture. The next type determined the place of action which included everyday human environment, as well as production and household spaces. The game type implied conversion of performers of rituals and ceremonies into zoomorphic images, into various human (sometimes imaginary) characters through costumes, makeup and masks.
Conclusion. Based on the analysis of the ritual, ceremonial and festive events of the Mordovians, a typology of pre-scenography is given, the special features of its functioning are determined.

Authors: AKSAKAL Şengül , ÖZATLI Düzgün , TURGUT Mehmet , GULER Nil
Published: June 2020

Aim: We evaluated the clinical feature and the responses to treatments in patients diagnosed and/or followed as chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).
Methods: Medical charts of 150 patients diagnosed and/or followed as ITP at Ondokuz Mayıs Medical Faculty between 2003 and 2011 were analyzed retrospectively. As first-line treatments, steroids based treatment and IVIg were used as medical therapy. In patients, who had no response to first and second courses treatments, splenectomy was performed.
Results: The median follow-up of 150 patients was 15 months (range 2-83 months). Thrombocytopenia was incidentally detected in 51(34%) of the cases. During the study period, 21(14%) the patients were followed up without treatment. First line medical therapy were given to 129(86%) patients. Of them, complete response (CR) were seen in 93(72%) patients, partial response (PR) in 14(11%) patients and none response (NR) in 22 (17%) patients. There was no significant benefit of high dose steroid therapy over the standard dose therapy (p=0.59). Of the 107 patients who had response to the treatment, relapse were observed in 48(45%) within 2,5 years. Of 40 patients, there were CR in 15(38%) patients, PR in 9(22%) patients and NR in 16(40%) patients. Splenectomy was performed in 38 patients. Of the 48 patients, CR was achieved in 32(84%) patients, PR in 2(%5) patients and NR in 4(16%) patients. Relapse was observed in 12(35%) patients.
Conclusion: This study showed that steroids based treatment and splenectomy are very effective treatment in ITP patients. Only 13(8.6%) patients in our study needed further treatment.
Investigation of The Relationship Between Perception of Supervisor Support, Perceived School Effectiveness, Work Engagement, Job Satisfaction and Organizational Cynic Attitude of Teachers
Authors: GÜLBAHAR Bahadir
Published: June 2020

The main purpose of this quantitative relational research is to test the theoretical framework within the structural equation model that if the perceived supervisor support affects the perception of school effectiveness, engagement to work, job satisfaction, and organizational cynical attitude. The sub-purpose of the study is to examine the relationship between teachers' perceptions of these variables. Within the scope of the research, a structural equation model was established by using the AMOS-25 package program with the data collected from 438 teachers. Before constructing the structural equation model, confirmatory factor analysis was performed and the measurement models for the scales used were verified. Fit index values of the measurement models were found to be acceptable, therefore total score was taken for each scale. “Perceived supervisor support” was determined as independent variable and “perceived school effectiveness, engagement to work, job satisfaction and organizational cynical attitude” were determined as dependent variables and direct effect values of independent variable on dependent variables were examined. Before establishing the structural equation model, multiple normal distributions of the scales were examined and “maximum likelihood” was chosen as the parameter estimation method in order to ensure the normal distribution assumption. The established structural equation model is verified and it was concluded that perceived supervisor support significantly predicted school effectiveness perception, work engagement, job satisfaction and organizational cynical attitude. It was also found that there were negative levels of negative relationships between teachers' organizational cynical attitude and perceived supervisor support, school effectiveness perception, work engagement and job satisfaction.
