Urban Form and Socioeconomic Sustainability: Data-Driven Assessment of the Impact of the Regent’s Canal on Its Surrounding Neighbourhoods
Authors: Okkali Alsavada Merve , Karimi Kayvan
Published: September 2023

The spatial structure of cities results from a space-making process that develops over long processes of time. During this process, inner-urban waters as urban components have become a significant urban agenda in shaping the spatial configuration of cities and have diverse forms of interactions with the urban systems. Although there is a significant number of studies that examine the water-city relationship from social, economic, and ecological perspectives, the spatial configuration has not been identified as a determinant factor in the sustainability of waterfront settlements. In that sense, the study investigates the impact of Regent’s Canal, London, with socioeconomic properties embedded in the urban form. The case study area is located along a section of the Regent’s Canal between King’s Cross and Camden Town. It aims to analyse the possible spatial effect of the canal on the socioeconomic culture of its surrounding neighbourhoods. Hence, the research mainly takes Bill Hillier’s study on “Sustainability of Urban Form” and Lars Marcus concept of “Spatial Capital”, which present the main variables of spatial structure to measure the performativity of urban form. A series of spatial analyses with demographic and land use data is done to investigate socioeconomic development in the neighbourhoods by applying space syntax methodology and tools. GIS is used to create Integrated Urban Model layering space syntax measures of spatial integration, population and retail density, and land use diversity on each street segment to identify differences between neighbourhoods on either side of the canal. The method enables us to understand geographic patterns of potential movement, land use distribution, and social interaction. The main finding of the research is that the spatial effect of the canal is different on each of these sides. This effect depends on the location of the waterbody and the way it is combined with the street network.

Published: September 2023

The objectives of this study were to 1) design artificial flowers from Thai silk fabric and further develop them into fashion accessories products; 2) develop the artificial flowers from Thai silk fabric of Patama Brand using fragrance microencapsulation technology; and 3) survey on consumer satisfaction on Thai silk artificial flowers of Patama Brand developed by using fragrance microencapsulation technology. In this study, Thai silk artificial flowers were designed and developed into fashion accessories products using sustainable fashion design concepts for the maximum benefits and variety of silk fabric applications in combination with bag hardware and accessories. Twenty draft designs were presented to the experts for assessment and six designs. The coating experiment using fragrance microencapsulation technology showed that Fragrance P01 had a highest average score of 4.8, which was at the highest level, followed by Fragrance P04 with an average score of 4.2, which was at a high level. Silk fabric coated with microencapsulated fragrance was covered with powder, resulting in slight discolouration of the fabric. However, the texture remained the same and showed a pleasant smell. According to the results, it can be concluded that P01 fragrance microcapsules on silk fabric were more effective compared to P04 fragrance microcapsules. P01 Fragrance gave feelings of cleanliness, freshness, and relaxation and is reminiscent of younger workers. P04 Fragrance gave a sensation of sweetness with a floral scent and is reminiscent of a sweet woman. However, P04 fragrance microcapsules showed higher concentration compared to silk fabric coated with P01 fragrance microcapsules. This research study shows the application of flowers as the fragrance of silk and the concept of using Thai silk for maximum benefit and diversity.

THE ENVIRONMENT/MEDIA INTERFACE IN DON DELILLO’S WHITE NOISE
Authors:   Department of English Gauhati University, Assam, Bora Manashi
Published: September 2023

The environment is a matter of great concern for environmentalists and governments alike. Climate change, rise in global temperatures, natural disasters etc. have attracted worldwide attention and the COPs being held in different countries every year draw world leaders to a common platform to discuss and thrash out solutions to climate related issues. It is worth examining how recent literature has reacted to the problems associated with the environment. Don DeLillo’s The White Noise published in 1985 is a novel which interweaves environmental issues with the compulsions of the media -driven society we live in with all the happenings in the world reaching us, mediated by the TV and radio channels thus making access to reality or truth a difficult affair. The paper looks at the representation of the environment/media interface in Don DeLillo’s White Noise drawing insights from ecocritical studies and postmodern theories of representation.
French nationalism, EU support and a possible Frexit: insights from survey data
Authors: Melgar Natalia
Published: September 2023

This article focuses on French opinions and perceptions towards the European Union (EU). Its aim is to assess whether nationalism plays a relevant role in shaping people´s views on the EU. For doing so, different proxies of patriotism, nationalism and chauvinism are explored, and French perception of the EU is scrutinized through four dimensions measuring the respondents´ assessment of their EU knowledge, their country´s benefits from EU membership, national sovereignty and support for continuing French EU membership. The data source comes from the survey carried out in 2013 by the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) in which the sample size, in the case of France, is more than 2,000 people. Findings indicate that nationalism and chauvinism correlate negatively with attitudes towards the EU. The contribution to the literature is twofold. Firstly, it is shown that there is a strong negative correlation between chauvinism and the willingness of remaining as a Member State of the EU. Secondly, this research revealed that an improvement in the communication channels between the EU´s institutions and the citizenship could be crucial to counterbalance this effect.

As doenças cardiovasculares (DCV) são uma das principais causas de morbimortalidade no mundo. Nesse contexto, realizou-se um estudo retrospectivo e ecológico sobre o impacto da implantação de um Sistema de Atendimento Pré-Hospitalar sobre a mortalidade por Infarto Agudo do Miocárdio (IAM) na 10ª Regional de Saúde - Cascavel, em que se utilizou dos dados secundários do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH/SUS) disponíveis no DATASUS de 2008 a 2020. As taxas de mortalidade por IAM diminuíram ao longo do estudo, enquanto a taxa de mortalidade intra-hospitalar e de internações tiveram um aumento relevante. Dessa forma, os resultados sugerem que o atendimento pré-hospitalar desempenha um papel importante no sistema de saúde e destaca a importância de investimentos nesse serviço para melhorar os desfechos clínicos.
Measurement report: Carbonyl sulfide production during dimethyl sulfide oxidation in the atmospheric simulation chamber SAPHIR

Published: September 2023

Abstract. Carbonyl sulfide (OCS), the most abundant sulfur gas in
the Earth's atmosphere, is a greenhouse gas, a precursor to stratospheric
sulfate aerosol, and a proxy for terrestrial CO2 uptake. Estimates of
important OCS sources and sinks still have significant uncertainties and the
global budget is not considered closed. One particularly uncertain source
term, the OCS production during the atmospheric oxidation of dimethyl
sulfide (DMS) emitted by the oceans, is addressed by a series of experiments
in the atmospheric simulation chamber SAPHIR in conditions comparable to the
remote marine atmosphere. DMS oxidation was initiated with OH and/or Cl
radicals and DMS, OCS, and several oxidation products and intermediates were
measured, including hydroperoxymethyl thioformate (HPMTF), which was recently
found to play a key role in DMS oxidation in the marine atmosphere. One
important finding is that the onset of HPMTF and OCS formation occurred
faster than expected from the current chemical mechanisms. In agreement with
other recent studies, OCS yields between 9 % and 12 % were observed in our
experiments. Such yields are substantially higher than the 0.7 % yield
measured in laboratory experiments in the 1990s, which is generally used to
estimate the indirect OCS source from DMS in global budget estimates.
However, we do not expect the higher yields found in our experiments to
directly translate into a substantially higher OCS source from DMS oxidation
in the real atmosphere, where conditions are highly variable, and, as pointed
out in recent work, heterogeneous HPMTF loss is expected to effectively
limit OCS production via this pathway. Together with other experimental
studies, our results will be helpful to further elucidate the DMS oxidation
chemical mechanism and in particular the paths leading to OCS formation.
Future dust concentration over the Middle East and North Africa region under global warming and stratospheric aerosol intervention scenarios

Published: September 2023

Abstract. The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is the dustiest
region in the world, and understanding the projected changes in the dust
concentrations in the region is crucial. Stratospheric aerosol
injection (SAI) geoengineering aims to reduce global warming by increasing
the reflection of a small amount of the incoming solar radiation to space,
hence reducing the global surface temperatures. Using the output from
the Geoengineering Large Ensemble Project (GLENS), we show a
reduction in the dust concentration in the MENA region under both the global
warming (RCP8.5) and GLENS-SAI scenarios compared to the present-day
climate. This reduction in dust over the whole MENA region is stronger under
the SAI scenario, except over dust hotspots and for the dry season. In other
words, in the summer, with the strongest dust events, more reduction has been
projected for the global warming scenario compared to the SAI scenario.
The maximum reduction in the dust concentrations in the MENA region (under
both global warming and SAI) is due to the weakening of the dust
hotspot emissions from the sources of the Middle East. Further analysis of
the differences in the surface temperature, soil water, precipitation, leaf
area index and near-surface wind speed provides some insights into the
underlying physical mechanisms that determine the changes in the future dust
concentrations in the MENA region. Detailed correlation analysis over dust
hotspots indicates that lower future dust concentrations are controlled by
lower wind speed and higher precipitation in these regions under both
the RCP8.5 and SAI scenarios.

Published: September 2023

Sacrocolpopexy is considered as the “gold standard” for management of women with apical prolapse. Numerous technical variants are being practiced. The first aim of this survey was to determine the habits of practice of laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy (LSCP) in Europe. The second aim was to determine whether surgeons who perform laparoscopic pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repair are familiar with the practice of alternative techniques and with mesh-less laparoscopic treatment of prolapse. The questionnaire was designed by the Urogynaecology Special Interest Group of the European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy (ESGE). All ESGE-members were invited by email to respond to this survey consisting of 54 questions divided in different categories. Following review of ESGE member’s responses, we have highlighted the great heterogeneity concerning the practice of LSCP and important variability in performance of concomitant surgeries. Alternative techniques are rarely used in practice. Furthermore, the lack of standardisation of the many surgical steps of a laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy is mainly due to the lack of evidence. There is a need for training and teaching in both standard and newer innovative techniques as well as the reporting of medium and long-term outcomes of both standard laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy and any of its alternatives.

Authors: Duffin Duffin
Published: September 2023

This study aims to determine the influence of environmental cost and environmental performance towards company’s value. This study also examines the moderating effect of managerial ownership and institutional ownership on environmental cost and environmental performance towards company’s value. The object of this research is the participants of PROPER assessment that participates three years consecutively from year 2019-2021 that also listed in Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The data analysis technique used in this study are the multiple linear regression and residual test. The results are: (1) environmental cost has negative and no significant influence towards company’s value, (2) environmental performance has positive and significant influence towards company’s value, (3) managerial ownership has moderating effect only on environmental cost relationship towards company’s value, and (4) institutional ownership has moderating effect only on environmental cost relationship towards company’s value. The theoretical implication is managerial and institutional ownership can strengthen environmental cost disclosure towards company’s value. The practical implications are the board of directors must consider optimum ownership structure to monitor and ensure that environmental cost disclosure is mandatory and make sure the operation of the companies is all according to the PROPER assessment standards. The government must establish a policy that obliges the publicly traded companies to disclose the environmental cost completely.

A Case of Green Laser Pointer-induced Atypical Impending Macular Hole Treated with Vitrectomy in a Pediatric Patient
Authors: Kim Hyo Sin , Lee Seung Hoon , Ra Ho
Published: September 2023

Purpose: To report a case of atypical impending macular hole induced by green laser pointer in a pediatric patient treated with vitrectomy.Case summary: A 13-year-old patient visited our clinic complaining of decreased visual acuity and upper visual field defect in the right eye after exposure to a green laser pointer. Her best corrected visual acuity was 20/200 in the right eye. Ultra-widefield fundus photography and optical coherence tomography showed pre-retinal hemorrhage and sub-internal limiting membrane hemorrhage involving the fovea. After 4 months of follow-up, the retinal hemorrhage was spontaneously resolved, however, atypical impending macular hole with intact overlying internal limiting membrane was observed on optical coherence tomography in the right eye. Regular follow-up was performed for spontaneous macular hole closure. After 8 months of follow-up, the base diameter of the macular hole increased on optical coherence tomography, accordingly, pars plana vitrectomy, internal limiting membrane peeling, and intravitreal perfluoropropane gas injection were performed in the right eye. After 1 month of the surgery, the macular hole was successfully closed and the best corrected visual acuity was 20/25 in the right eye.Conclusions: In pediatric patient, retinal hemorrhage can be caused by green laser pointer, which may be spontaneously resolved. However, delayed macular hole can occur, and surgical intervention might be helpful for successful anatomical closure and recovery of visual acuity.

Purpose: To report a patient who developed thyroid eye disease and third cranial nerve palsy at the same time and showed good response to high dose steroid therapy.Case summary: A 50-year-old woman who was diagnosed with Graves' disease presented with binocular vertical diplopia for 1 month. Diplopia was persistent and did not show any fluctuation daily. Up gaze was limited in the right eye. Orbital computed tomography showed hypertrophy of the inferior rectus muscles in both eyes. After 12 days, she complained of rapid progression of diplopia. Adduction and down gaze were limited in the left eye, and left hypertropia and exotropia were presented. Steroid pulse therapy was administered, and eye movements and strabismus improved at one month after treatment, and there were no recurrences until 9 months after symptom onset.Conclusions: Thyroid eye disease was accompanied by third cranial nerve palsy. If ocular movement is not consistent with the extraocular muscle involved or the forced duction test result in thyroid eye disease, the possibility of combined cranial nerve palsy should be considered.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: To report a patient who developed paralytic strabismus despite receiving antivenom injection after a snake bite on his toe and recovered following treatment with anticholinesterase.Case Summary: A 25-year-old man with no previous ophthalmological or neurological illnesses presented to our emergency room after viper bite on the left toe. Because there were no other symptoms without localized pain, he was discharged after antivenom. The next day, he returned to the emergency room with sudden onset binocular diplopia. The alternate prism cover test showed 12 prism diopters of exotropia and 5 prism diopters of hypotropia at distance fixation in his left eye. The ocular movement test and Hess screen test revealed hypodeviation and limitation of the upper and medial gazes of the left eye. Under the impression of left oculomotor nerve palsy due to venom toxin, he underwent brain imaging to rule out the presence of another lesion and it was normal. Therefore, the patient was prescribed antibiotics, hydration and anticholinesterase, daily for 3 days. Three days after treatment, his diplopia disappeared and eye position was orthotropic in all directions; this was maintained at the 6 months follow-up.Conclusions: A delayed onset of neurotoxin-induced paralytic strabismus may occur due to viper bite even after antivenom administration. Early anticholinesterase treatment needs to be considered unless contraindicated.

Published: September 2023

Purpose: To compare preoperative refractive power estimation and actual postoperative refraction after combined silicone oil removal and intraocular lens (IOL) sulcus implantation in silicone oil-filled aphakic eyes.Methods: Records of patients with silicone oil-filled aphakic eyes who received simultaneous silicone oil-removal and IOL sulcus implantation (Group1) and aphakic patients who received vitrectomy combined with IOL implantation (Group 2) were reviewed. Optical biometry including axial length measurements were obtained using IOL master® 700 and predicted refractive errors, actual postoperative refractive errors were examined retrospectively.Results: Predicted refractive errors, calculated by subtracting 1 diopter (D) from myopic lens power closest to plano based on sulcus implantation, were 0.50 ± 0.12 D in Group 1, 0.45 ± 0.20 D in Group 2. Six months after operation, mean refractive errors measured -0.76 ± 0.49 D in Group 1, -0.23 ± 0.49 D in Group 2, showing significant myopic shift (p < 0.001, p <0.001). Group 1 showed larger significant myopic shift compared to Group 2 (p = 0.001), especially in 3 eyes with insufficient filling of intravitreal silicone oil showing -1.5 D myopic shift.Conclusions: Ocular biometry of silicone oil-filled aphakic eyes undergoing simultaneous silicone oil removal and IOL sulcus implantation are difficult to measure, showing postoperative myopic shift compared to control. Incomplete intravitreal silicone oil filling showed larger refractive errors needing additional compensations.

Ofislerdeki çöp kutularının kaldırılarak koridorlarda geri dönüşüm kutusu kullanımının zorunlu tutulmasının akademik personelin geri dönüşüm ve yeşil tüketim davranışı üzerinde pozitif yönde bir etki yaratıp yaratmadığını araştırmak amacıyla statik grup karşılaştırmalı desen modeli ile deneysel araştırma gerçekleştirilmiştir. Akademisyenlerin geri dönüşüm ve yeşil tüketim davranışlarının demografik özellikler açısından farklılık gösterip göstermediğini araştırmak çalışmanın diğer amacını oluşturmaktadır. Deney grubunda 30, kontrol grubunda 32 olmak üzere vakıf üniversitesinde çalışan 62 akademisyen çalışmanın örneklemini oluşturmaktadır. Veriler, yüz yüze anket tekniği ile toplanmış olup frekans analizi, bağımsız örneklem t testi ve ANOVA testi yapılmıştır. Analizler sonucunda deney ve kontrol grubu arasında geri dönüşüm davranışı açısından istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık görülmemiş olup yeşil tüketim davranışı açısından istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmuştur. Demografik özellikler açısından geri dönüşüm davranışının yaş, cinsiyet, medeni durum açısından farklılaşmadığı, yeşil tüketim davranışının sadece yaş açısından farklılaştığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. 24 yaş ve altındaki akademisyenlerin yeşil tüketim davranışı daha yüksek düzeyde çıkmış olup gençlerin bu konuda daha hassas oldukları anlaşılmaktadır. Geri dönüşüm kutusu kullanımının zorunlu hale getirilmesinin akademik personelin geri dönüşüm ve yeşil tüketim davranışı üzerinde pozitif etki yaratmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Geri dönüşüme yönelik olumlu tutum ve davranış değişikliği yaratabilecek bir bilinçlendirme eğitimi verilmeden bu zorunluluğun getirilmesinin sonuç üzerinde etkili olduğu düşünülmektedir

Modern Devleti ve Modern Dünyayı Şekillendiren Milliyetçilik Fikri, İki Farklı Milliyetçilik Yaklaşımı ve Bir Sosyal Patoloji: Faşizm/Nazizm
Authors: AZİZATA Fatih Serkan
Published: September 2023

Milliyetçilik fikrinin gelişmesiyle dünya daha önce görmediği kadar büyük değişikliklere sahne olmuştur. XIX. yüzyıla kadar dini unsurlar üzerinden ayrışan insanlık, bundan sonra konuştuğu dil ve yaşadığı kültür üzerinden bir ayrıma uğramıştır. Ulus-devlet adı verilen siyasal yapının ortaya çıkmasına da temel olan milliyet ve milliyetçilik argümanları, nihayetinde toplumlara sirayet edecek bir sosyal patolojiye (toplumsal hastalığa) dönüşmüştür. Ne var ki bu faşizm ya da Nazizm adı verilen sosyal patoloji durumları çoğu zaman gerçek milliyetçi argümanlar ile, bazen kasıtlı olarak, bazen kendiliğinden olmak üzere karıştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ise bu karışıklığı önlemek adına, milliyetçilik ideolojisi ile faşizm ve Nazizm arasında kesin bir fark olduğunu ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaca ulaşmak için takip edilen yönteme göre; öncelikle milliyetler prensibi ve self-determinasyon gerekçeleriyle dünyanın milletlere ayrılarak nasıl atomize edildiği gösterilmiş ve bu atomizasyon sebep gösterilerek saf halde olan milliyetçilik fikrinin gerekliliği vurgulanmak istenmiştir. Bundan sonra ise ideolojik olarak milliyetçilik yaklaşımının felsefi kökenine ve iki ana kola ayrılmasına değinmek suretiyle, bu felsefi tabanın etno-sentrik (biz-merkezci) düşünce ile birleştiğinde neden saf milliyetçilik argümanları ile karıştırılabileceği gösterilmeye çalışılmıştır. Tartışma neticesinde iki kavramın amaç bakımından kesin olarak birbirinden ayrıldığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Çalışma hazırlanırken ikincil kaynaklardan olmak üzere, yayımlanmış ve yayımlanmamış akademik çalışmalar ile bazı telif eserlerden yararlanılmıştır.
Quantification of Surface Runoff Using Different Methods (Case Study: Waqf Infiltration Basin in the Gaza Strip)
Authors:   -PhD water technology joint program between Islamic University-Gaza, and al-Azhar University-Gaza, Palestine, Helles Zakaria , Mogheir Yunes
Published: September 2023

Background: The surface runoff created by rainfall is essential to recharge the Gaza coastal aquifer with fresh and clean water when adequately collected and infiltrated. Thus, accurate estimation of surface runoff can foretell the actual volume of incoming stormwater to the infiltration basin. Method: There are several methods for calculating rainfall-runoff only a few of them are accurate due to various restrictions and limitations. Rational formula was used to calculate the surface runoff entering Waqf infiltration basin located in Gaza city. Results: The daily surface runoff was estimated as 265,320 m3 using the Rational method while it was 324,000 m3 using the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) method at 67 mm rainfall depth for 5 year return period. Whereas, at 10 mm rainfall depth during the 2021-2022 wet season, a large difference was determined between the two methods. Thus, in-situ estimation was used as a third method, in which the water height in Waqf basin’s grit removal chamber was measured, thereby calculating the daily surface runoff as 360 m3 which was not far from the result obtained by the SCS method at 10 mm daily rainfall depth. Conclusion: It was concluded that using a reliable method was very important for the accurate estimation of surface runoff, which leads to a well-designed infiltration system in the Gaza strip.

Background: The Shelf-Life Extension Program (SLEP) was one of the most effective alternative plans, which could respond appropriately to crises of drug shortage and near expired drugs. Aim of the study: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the SLEP in the MOH in the GS as a contributor to central drug store stockpile maintenance during crises from the point of view of the GDP pharmacists. Methods: The study used quantitative descriptive and qualitative approaches. The study sample is a set of all the key members in the DCD and CDS working in the SLEP consisting of 21 persons. Data collection: The researcher developed his tool to evaluate the SLEP. The questionnaire was validated by a group of experts and a pilot study was implemented on 5 participants. Cronbach alpha coefficient was 0.938 for the GDP questionnaire. Results: The results of the findings from the GDP's questionnaire showed that the highest domain was " Extended Drug Labeling" with a weighted mean of 85.7%, followed by "Follow up the stock quantity for items that extended in the CDS" with a weighted mean 83.2%, and the weakest domain was "The impact of the SLEP on drug shortages in the MOH" with weighted mean 80.2%. There are statistically significant gender differences. Conclusions and recommendations: The study concluded a high-level evaluation of the effectiveness of the SLEP by the GDP workers with an average score of 82.4, The study recommended that the GDP should establish regulations about the SLEP for expired drug handling for all health workers.

Background: Due to harmful microorganisms’ resistance to many antibiotics, alternative solutions are required to eradicate them. Method: Chlorella vulgaris and Oscillatoria limnetica, two species of microalgae, were isolated for this investigation from the surrounding aquatic environment. The hexane extract of these two algae was tested in vitro by using two activities: antifungal and antibiofilm, against two species of Candida (Candida albicans and Candida glabrata), which were clinically isolated from 100 renal impairment patients, and it was diagnosed by some biochemical test. Results: Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy analysis determined 15 clear bands from (3381.21- 671.23 cm-1) for Chlorella vulgaris, and 12 clear bands from (2960.73- 1261.45 cm-1) for Oscillatoria limnetica. The Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry showed important chemical compounds for both microalgae which: p-Xylene, Dihydrocoumarin, 4,4,5,7,8-pentamethyl, Butylated Hydroxytoluene, 1,4-Benzenediol, 2,5-bis (1,1-dimethylethyl), Eicosane, n-Hexadecanoic acid, 9-Octadecenoic acid, (E), 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester, Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester, diethylhydroxylamine, Ethylbenzene, Benzaldehyde, 9,12,15- Octadecatrienoic acid, methyl ester, Hexadecanoic acid, Phytol, Methyl stearate. The results showed that crude hexane extract of Chlorella vulgaris was better than Oscillatoria limnetica as an antifungal, and the percent of antibiofilm was 79% with Chlorella vulgaris, while 77.7% with Oscillatoria limnetica. The rich fatty acids in Chlorella vulgaris have been partially purified from it and applied with two concentrations (10 and 100 mg/ml) as a good antifungal and antibiofilm with a percent of 81.667% for the two concentrations. Conclusion: With the global rise in antibiotic resistance, these algae have demonstrated their value as projects for alternative medicines

La investigación realizada es de tipo correlacional y estudió la influencia del precio del barril del crudo WTI, el bushel de Maíz y la tonelada de harina de Soya como variables independientes, sobre el precio de la libra de carne de cerdo mexicana, con el objetivo de hallar una función que explique dichas variaciones. Se utilizaron datos promedios mensuales de los precios, recolectados en un periodo de 10 años desde el 01/10/2012 hasta el 01/09/2022. En los datos hay una clara tendencia lineal entre el precio de la carne de cerdo con el precio del barril de crudo WTI, y el precio de la tonelada de harina de soya, más no tan clara o evidente con el precio del bushel de maíz, siendo esta variable excluida del modelo final por ser estadísticamente no significativa (Sig. 0,184). Las variables independientes del modelo final son estadísticamente significativas (Sig. 0,000), con valores de t–student de 4,999 para el crudo WTI y 3,697 para la harina de soya y no existen problemas de colinealidad entre ellas. El modelo obtenido es de regresión lineal múltiple, y tiene como predictores del precio de la carne de cerdo : el precio del barril de crudo WTI y el precio de la tonelada de harina de soya . Pronostica que el precio de la carne de cerdo no puede descender de 15,50 centavos de USD por libra, y puede explicar las variaciones de esta en un 61,4 %. Los residuos estandarizados del modelo presentan una distribución normal, corroborado mediante una prueba de Kolmogorov–Smirnov de 0,071, existiendo un par valores extremos positivos, que pueden informar sobre las circunstancias de las variables para el interés del investigador en los meses de mayo y junio del año 2021.

Published: September 2023

Bu çalışmada 2018 yılı biyoloji dersi öğretim programı (BDÖP) yatay ve dikey kaynaşıklık açısından incelenmiştir. Çözümlemede, benzer çalışmalar ve uzman görüşleriyle geliştirilen Kaynaşıklığı Belirlemeye Yönelik Kılavuz Sorularla betimsel analiz yapılmıştır. Bulgular, BDÖP’nin yatay kaynaşıklık açısından (disiplinlerarası özellik gösterme, aynı sınıf düzeyindeki diğer derslerle ilişkili olma) başarılı olamadığını göstermektedir. Programın disiplinlerarası olma özelliğinin zayıf olduğu, çok az sayıda kazanım ve kavramın diğer derslerle ilişkili olduğu belirlenmiştir. Dikey kaynaşıklık süreklilik açısından incelendiğinde, farklı sınıf düzeylerinde ortak bir öğrenme alanına odaklanılmadığı ve 9. sınıftan 12. sınıfa doğru gidildiğinde hedeflerin/ kazanımların birbiriyle ilişkili bir şekilde ilerlemediği, tekrar eden kavramların, beceri ve değerlerin yetersiz olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca sınıflar ilerledikçe öğrenme–öğretme, ölçme değerlendirme yaklaşımında ve bilimsel süreç becerilerinde süreklilik sağlanamamıştır. Aşamalılık analizleri; konuların sınıflar ilerledikçe derinleşmediğini, sadece değiştiğini ve bağlantıların çok zayıf olduğunu, bilinenden bilinmeyene, kolaydan zora, yakından uzağa doğru sıralanmadığını, ön koşul öğrenmelerin dikkate alınmadığını göstermiştir. Üstelik sınıf seviyesi ilerledikçe üst düzey düşünme becerilerine doğru (çözümleme, yaratma, değerlendirme) ilerleme görülememiş, tüm sınıflarda alt düzey bilişsel becerilere odaklanıldığı, bilimsel süreç becerileri (BSB) açısından da kazanımların ileri düzey BSB’lere yönelmediği ve temel düzeyde kaldığı tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, BDÖP’nin yatay ve dikey kaynaşıklık açısından yeniden ele alınması ve güçlendirilmesini öneriyoruz.

Bu araştırmanın amacı 2-6 yaş aralığında çocuğu olan ebeveynlere yönelik, çocuk yetiştirme sürecinde etkili ebeveynlik becerilerini kazanmaları için bir müdahale programının geliştirilmesini ve bu programın etkililiğini test etmektir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda psikososyal özelliklere sahip olan bu program ebeveynler ile 6 hafta boyunca uygulanmıştır. Müdahale kapsamında, her hafta farklı bir konu ele alınmıştır. Ebeveynlere, çocuk gelişimine eşlik ederken gerekli olan teorik ve pratik konular anlatılmış ve ebeveynlerin soruları yanıtlanmıştır. Çalışmaya 2-6 yaşları arasında çocuğu olan toplam 90 ebeveyn (75 anne, 15 baba) katılmıştır. Müdahale programının etkililiğini değerlendirmek amacıyla ebeveynlere müdahaleden önce ve sonra Ebeveyn Tutumları, Çocuk Yetiştirme ve Olumsuz Duygularla ile Baş Etme ölçekleri uygulanmış, aynı zamanda müdahale grubunda yer alan ebeveynlere son test ölçümünde nitel sorular da sorulmuştur. Müdahale ve kontrol gruplarında ebeveyn tutumları, çocuk yetiştirme davranışları ve olumsuz duygularla baş etme stratejilerini değerlendiren ölçeklerin alt boyutlarında anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Müdahale grubunun son testte, otoriter tutum, izin verici tutum, itaat bekleme ve küçümseyici tepki alt boyut puanlarının kontrol grubundan anlamlı şekilde düşük olduğu, duygu odaklı tepki ve duygu ifadesini kolaylaştıran tepki alt boyut puanlarının kontrol grubundan anlamlı şekilde yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur. Nitel ve nicel verilerden elde edilen sonuçlar uygulanan bu programın etkililiğini ortaya koymaktadır.
